Authors: Aiello Antonio , Nardella Christian
Published: February 2025

Introduction. The organizational well-being construct has become a theme with broad scientific and law debate, pertaining prevention and protection measures concerning work-related stress, both for assessment and intervention on psychosocial risks. This paper focuses on a case study identified in a specific organizational context of a upper middle school.Method. Starting from a research-intervention perspective, this paper was primarily based on the use of the "Psychosocial Risk Assessment" (Va.RP) Italian tool, in shape for medium organizations, Va.RP-M, in a further form specially remodeled for organizational school contexts. Some of the dimensions4 measured by the instrument are: the role, transparency of information, support, the relationship between work vs. private life, the perception of organizational and managerial aspects. In addition to this instrument, it was made a board regarding the "practical solutions" deemed most relevant according to the critical organizational received by workers, closing with a request for comments and suggestions on initiatives in order to prevent work-related stress.Results. The results show an emerging dissatisfaction primarily related to the dimensions of perceived lack of organizational justice, role, career advancement, leadership and work flexibility. As for "practical solutions" suggested, respondents identify priorities for high salient specific actions.Conclusions. Overall, it is confirmed as the face and prevent work-related stress is a process that must involve all stakeholders comprised into the organization, with a particular concern in promoting a strength of organizational management, to improve the well-being in partcular in classroom settings. Teachers emerge as a figure of multiparty function experienced in the psychosocial dynamics considered.
[Work-related stress risk assessment. A pilot study on perceived stress, health quality and work-related problems in a sample of workers of the Uffici Giudiziari di Roma]

In 2008, it was introduced by the Legislature legislation which provided the inclusion of Article 28, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree. N. 81/2008, which stipulates for businesses and public authorities a duty to assess, among a variety of risks that could threaten the safety and health of workers (chemical, biological risk, etc) and also the work-related stress. The implementation of this decree is, therefore, specified as work-related stress as one of the subjects of mandatory assessment risks. The decree, then entrusted to the Permanent Consultative Commission for health and safety at work the task to prepare the necessary information for the risk assessment of work-related stress, subsequently issued on 17/11/2010 in the form of a "methodological path which represents the minimum level of implementation of the obligation". In light of this regulatory framework, we established our pilot study, with the objective of analyzing a growing occupational discomfort. This objective has been diffused and palpable, but very difficult to define, in a sample of employees of the Judiciary Lazio Offices. The study was commissioned by Law Committee of Guarantee of Equal Opportunity Enhancement of Welfare Work and those against Discrimination (CUG) of the Judicial Offices Romans of the Court of Appeal of Rome also contributed to its realization. The data collected from the administration of two standardized questionnaires was analyzed (Questionnaire-gauge instrument INAIL and the SF-12 vl).More evidently in this pilot study, there was a serious problem in the organizational dimension, in specific, in managerial support. Just as it appears, the study sample is perceived less healthy, both physically and mentally, than the Italian normative sample. Although the sample is only a part of the study population, 26% of workers of the Judicial Offices Romans, the data obtained shows however, from both a quantitative and qualitative view point, a significant occupational stress and suggests the need to broaden our search in order to find different possible solutions to improve the condition of workers and, consequently, the degree of citizens' satisfaction that caters to this delicate area of expertise.​
Die waarde van Philipp Melanchthon se beskouing oor die verhouding tussen teologie en filosofie
Authors: Van Wyk Ignatius W.C.
Published: February 2025

The value of Philipp Melanchthon’s view of the relationship between theology and philosophy. The article starts with a brief biographical overview of Melanchthon’s life and work. His theological understanding is examined through two articles, published for the first time in 2023 in which he elucidates the meaning of theology and the role of preaching from rhetorical and dialectical perspectives. The third section explores the relationship between theology and philosophy. His early commentaries on Romans (1520) and Colossians (1527) reveal his critical stance towards the scholastic tradition. He argues that theology and philosophy should be distinguished, asserting that philosophy (as represented by Aristotle) cannot substitute the teachings of Paul. Theology, he contends, is not merely philosophical ethics. The distinction between theology and philosophy is further elaborated by examining the question of God. Whilst theology seeks to inspire prayer to God, philosophy aims to foster knowledge of God. The fourth section discusses the concept of Bildung [education and development] as the place where theology and philosophy can collaborate. The final section offers practical recommendations for how Akademia can contribute to Bildung in South Africa.Contribution: This article advances the ongoing discourse on the relationship between theology and philosophy, addressing the associated challenges of development and education.

Authors: Dayrit Johannes Flores , Alvañiz Anne Fay Abong , Flordelis Johanna O. , Teodosio Gracia B.
Published: February 2025

Three cases of ecthyma gangrenosum were diagnosed in a tertiary hospital. One patient was a 3-month-old infant with sepsis and two patients were previously healthy children with recent postvaricella zoster viral infection. The patients presented with fever and bullae, which rapidly progressed into ulcers with black necrotic crusts and erythematous borders. These lesions were disseminated. Culture results from wound discharge in two patients and result of tissue culture in one patient showed growth of Pseudomonas species. Histopathologic studies in one patient showed features of septic vasculitis and in another patient showed dense peri- and endo-eccrine neutrophilic infiltrates. Combination therapy with antipseudomonal penicillin and an aminoglycoside gave good results in two of the three cases.
Comparison of three types of scleral fixation of the intraocular lens
Authors: Byun Zeeyoon , Hwang Sungsoon , Kong Mingui
Published: February 2025

Purpose:

This study aimed to compare the 1-year clinical outcomes of three scleral fixation techniques for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation: ab externo scleral fixation, trocar-cannula-based sutureless fixation (“sutureless fixation”), and four-point scleral fixation.

Methods:

This retrospective study evaluated 77 consecutive eyes treated with scleral fixation of the IOL. The ab externo method utilized conventional sutured techniques, while the trocar-cannula-based sutureless method was adapted from the “Yamane” technique, employing a wide-angle fundus lens to facilitate IOL manipulation in the vitreous cavity. The four-point fixation method involved a double-armed polypropylene suture and two 26-gauge needles to secure the four IOL haptics at four distinct sites. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical comparison between the groups.

Results:

The four-point fixation group exhibited superior best-corrected visual acuity compared to the sutureless and ab externo groups at 1 and 3 months postoperatively (P = 0.004 and P = 0.002, respectively), along with significantly less surgically induced astigmatism (P < 0.001). The sutureless group had the shortest operative time, while the ab externo group had the longest (P < 0.001). No instances of IOL iris capture occurred in the four-point group, while three cases (10.0%) were noted in the sutureless group.

Conclusion:

The four-point fixation technique provides significant benefits, including faster visual recovery, enhanced IOL stability, and lower surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) values. The sutureless technique provides the benefit of shorter operative times but does pose a risk of IOL capture in a limited number of cases.

Authors: Shirodkar Kapil , Ariyaratne Sisith , Gavvala Sai Niharika , Jenko Nathan , Iyengar Karthikeyan P. , Botchu Rajesh
Published: February 2025

Introduction:

A locked knee may limit mobility and quality of life, significantly affecting their quality of life. This article investigates the common causes of locked knee and emphasizes the need for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Materials and Methods:

This study analyzed 267 knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) who presented with knee locking over 5 years. A musculoskeletal radiology consultant and fellow assessed MRI studies for the presence of various causative pathologies. Data analysis was done to compare age, pathologies, and gender distribution in these patients. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess diagnostic performance for each condition. P <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results:

The study demonstrated a significant association between age and medial meniscal tear or patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA). Lateral meniscal tears were not associated with age.

Conclusion:

The findings emphasize the age-related occurrence of medial meniscal tear and PFJ OA, highlighting the importance of age as a causative pathology. The absence of a substantial connection with lateral meniscal tears and the low predictive value of age showcase the complexity of these cases.

Authors: Shah Ali , Iyengar Karthikeyan P. , Botchu Rajesh
Published: February 2025

Objective:

To describe a novel, simple technique to increase the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) guided bone biopsy. This is to ensure the adequacy of the histopathological specimen and avoid suboptimal samples.

Materials and Methods:

The sandwich technique (ST) involves retaining the pathological sample between two slabs of normal bone tissue by passing the bone biopsy needle further past the abnormal area within the bone.

Results:

We have used this technique for successful bone biopsy samples of musculoskeletal lesions in a tertiary orthopedic oncology center in over 61 cases with near 100% diagnostic rate.

Conclusion:

The ST is a simple, yet effective and inexpensive reproducible technique to increase diagnostic accuracy of histopathological specimens in bone lesions.

Authors: Doneria Divya , Keshav Karunakar , Srivastava Madhulika , Srivastava Nipunika , Bhandari Ranu
Published: February 2025

Aim:

The aim of this study was to assess and copare the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of dentists of different specialties toward the presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) procedure in cleft patients.

Materials and Methods:

A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was done in which pediatric dentists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons were included. The questionnaire was circulated to them through personal interviews or Google Forms, and responses were recorded.

Results:

Results were analyzed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that specialists from the concerned branches, which comprise the cleft team, are aware of the general concept of PNAM, but a very small fraction of them are practicing or are confident in techniques regarding PNAM. There was no statistically significant difference between the KAP regarding PNAM among specialties.

Conclusion:

No statistically significant difference was seen between dental specialists regarding PNAM. They had a positive attitude toward PNAM, but the knowledge and practice were quite less. However, there is a strong need for programs that can enhance the Knowledge and practices of dentists for PNAM therapy in cleft lip and palate patients.

Authors: Tamchos Rigzin , Kapur Aditi , Kedar Zalmi
Published: February 2025

Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) for the approximation of cleft segments before surgery is widely practiced for better esthetic outcomes. The following case demonstrates unilateral complete cleft lip and palate with widely separated alveolar segments in which a modified technique of sequential NAM was exercised. Here, the NAM plate was delivered to the infant, and it was subsequently changed at 1 week, 1 month, and 45 days, without the need for relining. A nasal stent was also fabricated and delivered independently of the NAM plate. A gradual decrease in the separation of the cleft segment was evident. In conclusion, this modified technique offers the advantages of traditional NAM and three-dimensional printed NAM in a cost-effective manner without the requirement of advanced technology and growth prediction.
Impact of Paper Information Leaflets on Dental Anxiety and Well-Being in Czech Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Plachý Robert , Krejčová Lenka , Machoň Vladimír , Bujda Michele
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:

Dental anxiety and well-being significantly influence patients’ oral health and quality of life. This study investigated whether providing paper information leaflets (PILs) before performing dental procedures improved psychological well-being and reduced anxiety in Czech patients.

Materials and Methods:

This parallel-group, single-blind randomized, prospective clinical trial was conducted at a private dental clinic in the Czech Republic in 2020. A total of 167 adult patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 82), receiving both verbal information and a PIL, or the control group (n = 85), receiving only verbal information before their dental procedure (fillings, endodontic treatment, prosthetic restorations, or extractions). Pre- and post-procedure psychological well-being and anxiety were assessed using study-specific questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted in R using RStudio, with a significance level set at P < 0.05. Between-group differences were assessed while controlling for gender and education. Linear regression was used to analyze pre-procedure anxiety, and logistic regression was used to analyze post-procedure well-being outcomes (reporting “everything was fine,” “unpleasant mouth sensations,” and “quick adjustment”). The Benjamini–Hochberg correction was applied to control for multiple comparisons. Sensitivity analysis used the “best-worst and worst-best case” method to evaluate nonrandom missing data. Power analysis determined a minimum of 64 participants per group for a two-tailed t test.

Results:

Baseline anxiety levels, measured on a 1–6 scale, were similar between the PIL group (mean 4.26, SD 1.11) and the control group (mean 4.36, SD 1.17; β = −0.11, P = 0.54). Post-procedure, while fewer patients in the PIL group reported that “everything was fine” (28/82 vs. 39/85), this difference was not statistically significant after correction for multiple comparisons (uncorrected P = 0.038, α
FDR = 0.01). No significant differences were found between groups regarding “unpleasant mouth sensations” (P = 0.84) or “quick adjustment” (P = 0.52).

Conclusion:

Providing PILs in addition to verbal information did not significantly impact pre-procedure anxiety or post-procedure well-being in this sample of Czech dental patients. These findings indicate that verbal communication alone may be sufficient for managing patient anxiety and promoting well-being in this context. Further research using validated instruments and exploring different communication strategies is warranted.
Comparative Analysis of Application of Fluoride Bioactive Glass and Sodium Fluoride Toothpastes for Remineralization of Primary Tooth Enamel Lesions
Authors: Poopirom Chanikarn , Yimcharoen Veeritta , Rirattanapong Praphasri
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:

This study aimed to compare the remineralization effect of a fluoride bioactive glass (FBG) toothpaste with different concentrations of sodium fluoride toothpaste based on the surface microhardness (SMH) in artificial enamel carious lesions of primary teeth.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty sound primary incisors were allocated into five groups (n = 10): Group DI (deionized water); Group FBG (Biomin® F); Group 500 ppmF (Jordan®); Group 1000 ppmF (Kodomo®); and Group 1500 ppmF (Systema®). The teeth were fixed in self-cure acrylic resin blocks, and artificial carious lesions were created by immersing them in a demineralizing solution (D1) for 4 days. The specimens underwent 7-day pH-cycling and were treated with the provided toothpaste twice daily. The SMH was examined at baseline, after artificial caries induction, and after pH-cycling. The data were calculated as the percentage SMH recovery (%SMHR). One-way ANOVA, post hoc tests (Tukey HSD or Games–Howell tests), and regression analysis were used to analyze the results with a significance level of 0.05.

Results:

The %SMHR of the four groups (different toothpastes) was significantly higher than that of the control group, with all toothpaste groups showing a positive effect on %SMHR (P value < 0.001). The highest %SMHR was observed for 1500 ppmF and FBG, with no significant difference (P value = 0.984). Both had the most significant positive effects on %SMHR, with β coefficients of 1.076 and 1.002, respectively.

Conclusion:

The remineralization effect of the FBG toothpaste was comparable to that of 1500 ppmF toothpaste and had a greater efficacy than those of 500 and 1000 ppmF based on SMH testing on enamel carious lesions in primary teeth. It offers an effective alternative option for toothpaste with a lower risk of systemic fluoride toxicity, offering a safer, effective option for caries prevention in children.

Authors: Georgeno GL , Shinde Madhuri , Datla Praveen Kumar Varma , Malleedi Shanthi , Jahagirdar Abhishek , Nagella Sai Prannoy , Maria Rahul , Singh Shanaya
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Dental anxiety is a significant barrier to effective dental treatment, often resulting in delayed care. Various sedation protocols are utilized to manage this anxiety, but comparative data on their safety and efficacy are limited.

Methods:

This randomized controlled trial compared the safety and efficacy of oral midazolam, nitrous oxide, and intravenous (IV) sedation in managing dental anxiety in adult patients. Key parameters included anxiety reduction using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), time to onset of sedation, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects.

Results:

Patients receiving IV sedation showed the fastest onset and highest anxiety reduction, but oral midazolam exhibited fewer side effects. Patient satisfaction was highest with IV sedation.

Conclusion:

IV sedation was found to be the most effective in reducing anxiety, while oral midazolam offered better safety. Future studies should further explore patient-specific protocols.

Authors: Thavara Binoy Damodar , Parambil Rajeev Mandaka , Jose Byjo Valiyaveetil , Hussain Shinas
Published: February 2025

Dorsal epidural lumbar disc migration presenting as cauda equina syndrome (CES) is exceedingly rare and only 38 cases were reported in the literature. The authors presented a 39-year-old male patient presenting with lower back pain of 1-week duration. He developed spontaneous sudden onset of radiating pain, decreased sensation, and weakness of bilateral lower limbs along with urinary retention and constipation. Motor examination revealed bilateral knees with Medical Research Council Grade 4 power and bilateral ankles with Grade 0 power. Visual analog score (VAS) of pain was 9/10. The patient was diagnosed to have CES. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the lumbosacral spine revealed a well-defined dorsal epidural lesion which appears isointense on T1 and heterogeneously hyperintense on T2-weighted image. Contrast MRI scan revealed peripheral rim enhancement of lesion at L3-4 level suggestive of dorsally migrated L3-4 intervertebral disc. The patient underwent L3 and L4 laminectomy. Dorsally migrated extradural large disc causing severe compression on the dura mater was noted. Extradural disc material was removed and L3-4 discectomy was done. In the postoperative period, the pain was decreased from VAS of 9/10 to VAS of 1/10. Ankle power was improved to Grade 2. Cauda equine syndrome due to dorsal epidural lumbar disc migration can occur spontaneously. It can present as epidural lesion with CES. Surgical removal of the extruded disc carries a good prognosis.

Is the Turkic us- ‘to be thirsty’ a loanword from Mongolic? An overview of Mongolic loanwords in Old Turkic
Authors: Ünal Orçun
Published: February 2025

The present study questions whether the Old Turkic verb us- ‘to be thirsty’ is derived from the nominal base *u ‘water’, which is attested as such in Kitan and as *usun in Common Mongolic. Since there is no denominal verbal formative +s- in Turkic, us- must be regarded as a simplex. Since both *u ‘water’ and +(A)s- are present in Mongolic, the Turkic verb is considered to be a loanword from Pre-Proto-Mongolic *us-, which was replaced in Proto-Mongolic by *umdaas- ‘to be thirsty’.

Published: February 2025

Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is one of the serious complications of Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) which is still a major health problem, especially in developing countries. RHD can cause permanent damage to the heart valves, increasing the risk of heart failure in the pediatric population. This study aims to describe the clinical management of RHD cases with class III heart failure according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification in a pediatric patient. The research method used a descriptive case study approach with a retrospective review of the medical records of a 13-year-old pediatric patient who experienced progressive dyspnea, fatigue, lower extremity edema, and intermittent fever. Physical and supporting examinations showed cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, and severe mitral regurgitation. Management included administration of Benzathine Penicillin G, Prednisone 2 mg/kg/day, and other supportive therapies. The results showed significant clinical improvement within one week of treatment, with a long-term follow-up plan to prevent recurrence. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate therapy to prevent the development of ARF into RHD and improve the long-term prognosis of pediatric patients. This study also highlights the need to increase public awareness and strengthen the primary health care system in early detection and management of RHD.

This research aims to develop a model for selecting scholarship recipients using a combination of the Best Worst Method, SMART and PROMETHEE. The topic was chosen due to the importance of an objective and transparent selection process to improve access to higher education for underprivileged students. The Best Worst Method is used to determine criteria weights by comparing the best and worst criteria. SMART evaluates the utility value of alternatives based on the weights obtained from the Best Worst Method. PROMETHEE ranks the alternatives based on preference values calculated from SMART results. The results showed that this combination achieved an accuracy of 96,29%, precision of 96,67%, recall of 96,67%, and specificity of 96,67%. In the sensitivity analysis, based on 20 weight change experiments, resulted in an average value of 0,863, indicating the superiority of this method compared to others. These findings suggest that this combination is more robust to weight changes, making it more effective in maintaining consistency and objectivity during the selection process. Applying Best Worst Method, SMART and PROMETHEE enhances the quality of scholarship selection, ensuring fairness, objectivity and consistency in various decision-making situations.
GENNADY SHPALIKOV AS A SOVIET POET
Authors: BALASHOVA ELENA A.
Published: February 2025

Soviet literature was certainly an ideologized and controlled organism. It was not the professional environment or the reader who established the value hierarchy there. This meant that not all literature was in demand: often the outstanding poets were overshadowed by more recognized o cial poets. So it happened to Gennady Shpalikov. The purpose of the article is not to assert the poet’s place in the hierarchy of the poetic world, especially within the framework of Soviet literature, but to recreate a holistic picture, a historical picture of Russian literature, where there is a place for those who consciously built their poetics, starting from the basic postulates of Soviet poetry. The article discusses some of the author’s key texts, attempts to explore the particular oppositions of the lyrics (openness - loneliness, hopes - deception, etc.), interiorized landscapes, linguistic features, but the main thing is the a rmation of the unity of all techniques, an understanding of the ways in which a holistic impression of Shpalikov’s poetry is formed. So, in fact, our hypothesis is formed - to check whether there is consistency in the use of any specific techniques by Shpalikov. Both as a poet and as a screenwriter, Shpalikov gives uncomplicated plots, often eventless - the discovery was that this eventlessness and uncomplicateness can be said in verse. As a lyricist, Shpalikov could manifest himself precisely in Soviet times, only during the “thaw”. His name was not canceled by censorship, poetry was not banned, there were even iconic poems. He didn’t need to be rescued from oblivion. Nevertheless, there is an awareness of the poet’s unread nature. The author of the article, based on the immanent analysis of the text, begins to abolish this closeness.
VISUAL IMAGERY AND LYRICAL PLOT IN YURI LEVITANSKY’S POEM ‘DRAWING’
Authors: MALKINA VICTORIA YA.
Published: February 2025

This paper examines visual imagery and lyrical plot in Yuri Levitansky’s poem ‘Drawing’, which is part of his cycle ‘Katerina, or Walking with Faust’ (1981); it analyses in detail how the visual image of the artistic world is constructed with the help of verbal means. Moreover, this depicted world is doubled, as there is the reality of the poem itself and the reality of the picture created in this poem. To analyse the plot, we consider the subject and spatio-temporal structures of the poem, as well as the situation, the event and the system of motifs. The lyrical plot is constructed as first a drawing and then a reflection on one’s own drawing and its understanding by the lyrical subject. Hence the need to consider the lyrical plot in relationship with visual imagery in this poem. The great importance of visual imagery is due to the title of the poem, which refers the reader to the need for visual perception. Visual imagery is related both to the process of drawing (color, outline, reflection, etc.) and to looking at the drawing. This image is a drawing, but the drawing is created and described with the help of words, thus combining poetry and painting. author’s strategy of vision, the reader, relying on the verbal component, must engage his visual imagination. In addition, there is a double recoding: first, a visual image of the drawing is created with the help of verbal means, and then this visual image is interpreted (again, with verbal means). The reader is requiredto use his or her imagination to ‘see’ the drawing created by the lyrical subject and to realize the subject’s understanding of it. That is, following the author’s strategy of vision, the reader, relying on the verbal component, must engage his or her visual imagination.
REFLECTION OF OWN POETIC WORD IN THE LYRICS OF ALEXANDER BASHLACHEV
Authors: STANKOVICH ZINAIDA G.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the manifestations of self-reflection in the creativity of Alexander Bashlachev through the assessment of their own words by lyrical subjects. As the research material were used poetic and song texts created from 1981 to 1987: the poems “The light bulb shone. And the water dripped ...” / “To the Poets”, “And the work is absurd ...”, as well as the songs “Funeral of the Fool” and “Pastry”. In the course of the study were used motivic and comparative methods of analysis. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that in di erent periods the poet’s attitude to words (their strength or weakness) was not the same. At the beginning of his creative career, Bashlachev stated the uselessness of poets’ words, their needlessness to people around them. Later, the poet recognized their revitalizing and world-transforming power, which, however, is not available to every person. In the song “Funeral of the Fool”, only the title character is able to linger in the world of the living through laughter and a “crispy salty word”, as well as with their help to heal physically and morally those who gathered at the funeral. In the song “Pastry” lyrical subject expresses a kind of teaching to himself and the recipient on how to use the word to give love to everyone in the world. Bashlachev recognizes the existence of the Word with a capital letter, the word of God, which a person can “catch”, accept, and through it make the world warm for everyone. In his last text, “And the work is absurd ...”, the rock poet admits defeat in his desire to internalize the word, to turn it in the full sense into a conductor of his own ideas and an instrument of world transformation.
VISUAL IN THE WORKS OF POETS OF THE LENINGRAD UNDERGROUND: LEONID ARONZON, VIKTOR KRIVULIN AND VLADIMIR ERL
Authors: PRONIN MAXIM V.
Published: February 2025

The world of the Leningrad literary underground of the 1960s-1970s was heterogeneous: ideological continuators of the traditions of Russian modernism coexisted here with religious philosophical thinkers, outspoken nihilist dissidents and poetic innovators. This article is devoted to the artistic world of Leonid Aronzon, Viktor Krivulin, Vladimir Erl. A significant part of their poems were written in compliance with all the norms of traditional syllabic tonics. But at the same time, they actively practiced in form and word creation: they made intentional or spontaneous mistakes, came up with new words and sentences without a semantic layer, introduced foreign-language borrowings, ready-made quotations from other literary works, abusive vocabulary, and also periodically tried themselves in the field of visual poetry, continuing the traditions laid down in their own way the author of the texts “Spring goose” and “Holes bulbul” A. Kruchenykh. The unusual design of the texts for the figures of the Leningrad underground, as well as for theTwisted Ones, was not so much a way to convey the rhythm and intonation of a particular poem, as a claim to create their own poetic “abstruse” language. Studying the idiosyncrasy of the poetic idiolect of all the selected “uncensored” Leningrad authors helped us to better understand how their artistic world was created. As a result, a conclusion is drawn about the distinctive features of their visual poetry: stichograms from sheets or screens appear to be a continuous stream of deconstructed slogans of the Soviet era, specially invented words, stamps and fragments of texts from earlier years. In some of the texts shown, the image may be equal to what was said, letters and words are combined into an illustration: reading the text, we simultaneously hear voices and see a picture moving like a video sequence.
THE POEM “WE READ THE BLOCK UNTIL MORNING...” BY BORIS RYZHY: A POETICS OF QUOTATION AND LYRICAL EVENTFULNESS
Authors: CHEVTAEV ARKADY A.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the poetics “We read Blok until morning...” (1997) by B. Ryzhy as the embodiment of the poet’s existential worldview. The combination of intertextual and structural-semiotic approaches to the study of a literary text makes it possible to understand the event vector of the self-determination of B. Ryzhy’s lyrical “the self” and to determine the relationship between vital and mortal principles, the problematization of which forms the value-semantic center of the poet’s creative reflection. The analysis of the poem shows that this poetic text, revealing explicit and implicit layers of intertextuality, demonstrates the poet’s existential immersion in the existential processes of anthropological self-actualization on the verge of life and death. The ontological tension of the artistic world represented by the poet consists of the quotation interaction of the lyrical systems of A. Blok and G. Ivanov, who, presenting themselves as a single axiological center, form an eventful introduction to the world of death through the poetics of quotation. The mortal meanings of the poet B. Ryzhy’s self-determination, a rmed in the poetics of his poem and ontologically overcome by the memory of the value acceptance of being, are revealed through vital familiarization with the awakening earthly world order. The triad “morning, youth, fatigue” appears as the formula of being in which the lyrical subject of B. Ryzhy. It is concluded that the quotation tension between Blok’s and Ivanov’s existential worldview and the lyrical worldview proper reveals the ultimate existential tension of life and death, which is constantly and inevitably of interest to the poet B. Ryzhy.

Rêver de la famille et de l’amitié : une autothérapie poétique à l’époque des Tang
Authors: ZHOU YINAN
Published: February 2025

Les rêves poétisés, qui visent à pratiquer la divination, peuvent remonter à l’origine de la poésie chinoise classique. Au fil du temps, certains
rêves poétisés par les mandarins prennent aussi pour fonction de faire
passer, de manière allusive, des messages politiques. Pourtant ceux qui
sont composés sous la dynastie des Tang semblent s’ouvrir vers de perspectives inédites avec les contraintes violentes du système d’examen impérial établi. Si, la plupart du temps, les rêves poétisés des époques
précédentes nous transmettent un monde fictif et irréel, souvent avec
l’intervention des Saints taoïstes, les rêves des poètes des Tang impliquent
de plus en plus d’êtres humains, notamment des membres de famille et
des amis. Cette évolution du phénomène onirique littéraire nous questionne. À l’aide des éléments théoriques de la psychologie, dont l’interprétation du rêve (Sigmund Freud) en particulier, nous essayerons de
scruter les rapports cachés dans les images oniriques fournies par des
poètes candidats étudiants inscrits dans l’examen impérial de leur temps.

NEJAC recommendations summary
Authors: Ellickson Kristie , Gehred Natalie
Published: February 2025

Created in 1993, the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) provides independent and consensus advice on integrating environmental justice into the programs and practices of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In 2023, the agency formed the NEJAC Cumulative Impacts Workgroup to research, consider, and answer questions about how best to integrate cumulative impact assessments into the agency’s practices. For this effort, the NEJAC was able to draw on a wide variety of sources, including the work of community groups and state and local governments that have driven many of the innovations and advancements in cumulative impact work.

In October 2024, the workgroup submitted its report to the EPA, “Reducing Cumulative and Disproportionate Impacts and Burdens in Environmental Justice Communities.” That document lays out recommendations for how the EPA can better address and assess cumulative impacts in its practices, programs, and policies. To improve environmental health protections by reaching a larger audience, the Union of Concerned Scientists prepared eight fact sheets summarizing the recommendations:
● Overarching Recommendations for Cumulative Impact Assessments
● Best Practices for Defining Cumulative Impacts
● A Road Map for Accelerating Innovative Approaches to Cumulative Impacts Implementation
● Principles to Guide the Practice of Cumulative Impact Assessment
● Validating and Incorporating Lived Experience into Assessments and Processes
● Supporting Comprehensive, Solution-Oriented, Community-Driven Programs
● Incorporating Colonialism, Racism, and Other Structural Drivers into Cumulative Impact Assessments and Implementation
● Promoting Climate Justice
