Authors: Е.Е. Петрова
Published: November 2024

интерес к настоящему исследованию был вызван интенсивным развитием медицины, возрастающей ролью рекламы фармацевтических продуктов в англоязычном медиапространстве. Целью данной статьи явился анализ особенностей англоязычных видеовербальных рекламных текстов в сфере медицины на вербальном и невербальном уровнях. В ходе исследования был собран эмпирический материал, проведен лингво-прагматический анализ, описаны и систематизированы данные. Выявленные языковые особенности англоязычной рекламы в сфере медицины дополняют сведения об уже имеющихся средствах выразительности и указывают на продуктивность дальнейшего изучения этих явлений в целях расширения возможностей использования полученных результатов в создании рекламы. Примененный подход анализа языкового материала может быть экстраполирован при исследовании других типов дискурса, таких как политический, туристический и др. Исследование выявило характерные особенности видеорекламного текста в сфере медицины, которые заключаются в апелляции к эмоциям, человеческим ценностям, убеждениям посредством создания зрительных образов, звуковых и вербальных компонентов текста. Видеовербальный текст представляет собой единство эмоционально-оценочных и рационально-логических компонентов. Видеореклама медицинских препаратов создается по определенному сценарию с использованием весьма разнообразной лексики, синтаксических и фонетических средств.

the interest in this study was caused by the intensive development of medicine, the increasing role of advertising pharmaceutical products in the English-speaking media space. The purpose of this article is to analyze the features of English-language promotional video texts in the field of medicine at the verbal and non-verbal levels. During the research, empirical material was collected, linguistic and pragmatic analysis was carried out, data were described and systematized. The identified linguistic features of English-language advertising in the field of medicine complement information about existing means of expression and indicate the productivity of further study of these phenomena in order to expand the possibilities of using the results obtained in creating advertising. The applied approach of analyzing linguistic material can be extrapolated in the study of other types of discourse, such as political, tourist, etc. The study revealed the characteristic features of video advertising text in the field of medicine, which consist in appealing to emotions, human values, beliefs through the creation of visual images, sound and verbal components of the text. The promotional video text is a unity of emotional-evaluative and rational-logical components. Video advertisements for medical products are created according to a specific scenario and the usage of a very diverse vocabulary, syntactic and phonetic means.

CIVA Modelling as an Effective Tool for Air-coupled Through-Transmission Ultrasonic Inspection
Authors:   University of Waterloo, Ginzel Edward
Published: November 2024

Air-coupled ultrasound has been used as a tool for surface profilometry and to inspect highly attenuative

materials such as composite laminates and foams for voids or disbonded areas. Significant losses are experienced

with air-coupled ultrasound applications due to the attenuation in air and high impedance mismatch. As a result,

not many inspections use the traditional pulse-echo approach. Instead, through transmission is preferred.

Considering how most air-coupled probes are driven using a tone-burst excitation, resulting in a very narrow

bandwidth (ringy) pulse, through transmission is a practical option since it relies solely on amplitude response

rather than temporal resolution. CIVA software features the ability to simulate an air-coupled ultrasonic

through-transmission inspection by using imported 3D CAD files. This paper describes how such an inspection

can be modelled in the simulation software.

Authors: Martínez Benítez Piter , Vu Huy Son , Nguyen Viet Anh , Chipi Rodríguez Yanitsy , Luu Thanh Hung , Nguyen Van Phuong Nhat
Published: November 2024

The term acute coronary syndrome includes a set of symptoms and signs attributable to acute myocardial ischemia that is generally due to the rupture or erosion of an atherosclerotic plaque with the consequent formation of a thrombus that totally or partially obstructs the involved coronary artery. It has a wide range of clinical presentations. The electrocardiogram plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of acute coronary syndrome, the spectrum includes a normal electrocardiogram, T-wave abnormalities, ST-segment depression, or ST-segment elevation. It is also useful for acute coronary syndrome presentations that are not so typical and can sometimes go unnoticed, such as right or left bundle branch block, posterior wall myocardial infarction, de Winter T wave pattern, and Wellens syndrome. A case of Wellens syndrome was identified in an outpatient cardiology consultation, the patient was immediately referred for urgent invasive coronary angiography, and as a result, a stent was successfully implanted from the ostium of the anterior descending coronary artery. The early identification of these variants is valuable so that the patient receives optimal drug treatment and is referred on time to invasive coronary angiography. The role of the echocardiogram with strain imaging and its contribution to the diagnosis is highlighted.

Authors: Vu Thi Thao Hien , Le Dieu Linh , Pham Manh Hung , Nguyen Ngoc Quang
Published: November 2024

Objectives: To evaluate the role of Hendry’s score based on the electrocardiogram in predicting heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, including 91 inpatient heart failure patients at the Vietnam Heart Institute, divided into two groups: heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF ≤ 40 %) and heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (EF ≥ 50%). The collected information included the general characteristics of the disease group (age, gender, etiology, clinical symptoms), blood test NT-proBNP, creatinine, electrolytes, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram.
Results: Forty-seven people were diagnosed with HFpEF, and 44 suffered from HFrEF. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed certain ECG variables that were independent predictors of HFrEF, i.e., left atrial hypertrophy (LAH), QRS duration > 100 ms, right bundle branch block (RBBB), ST-T segment changes, and prolongation of the QT interval. Based on  Hendry’s Score, we obtained a score for HFpEF of -1 to +3. At the same time, HFrEF had a score of +4 to +6 with 81.3% sensitivity, 84% specificity, a 70.5% positive predictive value, an 87.2% negative predictive value, and an accuracy of 86%.
Conclusions: The scoring system derived from this study, including the presence or absence of LAH, QRS duration > 100 ms, RBBB, ST-T segment changes, and prolongation of the QT interval can be used to predict the type of HF with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity.

Authors: Tanti Tanti , Wijono Sutarto , Murti Heru Astikasari Setya
Published: November 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine the simultaneous role or influence of work engagement (WE) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) on job motivation. Data were collected through a saturated sampling technique, involving all 137 employees at a tertiary university in Indonesia. The data were collected using a questionnaire adapted and translated into Indonesian, ensuring validity and reliability. The predictive correlational design was adopted to examine relationships between the independent variables, work engagement and OCB, and the dependent variable, job motivation, based on the Cronbach's alpha values of 0.828, 0.909, and 0.908, respectively. The partial findings from the T-test analysis show that work engagement partially serves as a predictor of job motivation; the partial findings also indicate that organizational citizenship behaviors also serve as predictors. The results of the hypothesis testing analysis also show that the partial results from the t-test indicate that both work engagement, organizational citizenship, and job motivation are independent variables. The findings of the research contribute to the field by providing a nuanced understanding of how WE and OCBC simultaneously influence job motivation within the context of employees at the company.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this research study was to compare word recall accuracy through Judgments of Leaming (JOL) under 3 conditions: 1) NO JOL, 2) Immediate JOL, and 3) Delayed JOL. Participants were 84 undergraduates from a university in Bangkok, who were randomly assigned into the three conditions. All were presented with the carefully selected 30 stimulus word pairs for one trial (8 seconds for each pairs) and were instructed to reproducer the word pairs approximately 5 minutes after that. Participants in the Immediate JOL and Delayed JOL conditions were also requested to estimate how confident they were that they would recall the word pairs during the test trial. Findings revealed that participants in the Delayed JOL and Immediate JOL conditions did not perform significantly better than those in the NO JOL condition, F(2, 81) = 1.20, p> .05. However, when an additional analysis was conducted to compare the association between the confidence estimation and the actual performance, it was found that the association was stronger in the Delayed JOL condition than in the Immediate JOL condition.

MEANS OF EXPRESSING THE AUTHOR’S MODALITY IN THE EPISTLE TO THE UGRA OF VASSIAN RYLO
Authors: Serganova Daria A.
Published: November 2024

It is an axiom in modern linguistics that language must be studied with consideration of the anthropological factor. In this regard, scholars have shown increasing interest in the category of authorial modality. Since the late 1980s, numerous academic works have been devoted to exploring this category. However, unfortunately, the category of authorial modality has not yet been fully and comprehensively studied from a diachronic perspective; most researchers examine this category based on modern language, which limits the ability to observe its development over time. This article focuses on the study of the modal organization in the Old Russian oratory prose monument The Epistle to the Ugra of Vassian Rylo (15th century). This outstanding text was written during a critical historical moment. Archbishop Vassian of Rostov, Yaroslavl, and Belozersk writes to Grand Duke Ivan III as Khan Akhmat advances towards Russia. The priest seeks to support his ruler and persuade him to resist the enemy. Considering that Vassian is writing to a superior, he cannot fully display his personal voice in the text. Nevertheless, he faces a clear task — to urge the prince to act. Therefore, the author employs means of exhortation, which we consider a leading component of authorial modality, as it serves as a means of expressing the author’s “self” in this text.
Neologisms with the meaning of “fake” goods in modern Russian
Authors: Dudurich Olga V. , Shapovalenko Evgeny V.
Published: November 2024

The article describes neological units that have been functioning in the Russian language since the 1990s to characterize artisanal products or various types of counterfeit goods. The cognitive mechanisms underlying their formation are identified, based on the metonymic or metaphorical use of the image of fire, as represented in the root morpheme pal-. It is noted that the word-formation paradigm of the verb palit’ has expanded with the addition of derivatives with figurative meanings, including the adjectives palёny, samopalny, and the nouns palёnka, pal’, and palevo. The processes of these units’ combinatory expansion are described, reflecting extralinguistic changes. The stylistic markedness of the lexemes is characterized, and the identification and connotative components of their semantics, as well as their representation in operational lexicographic practice, are identified.

Finite element structural analysis of simply supported solid and stiffened plates: A comparative study
Authors: K. Shabla , Pany Chitaranjan
Published: November 2024

A structure’s form and shape influence how it behaves when loaded. This was achieved by contrasting the stiffened plate’s performance with that of a solid plate made of the same material and volume. The results have demonstrated that bending stress in stiffened plates is decreased when a solid plate of the same material and volume is transformed into a stiffened plate. Because stiffened plates have a higher strength to weight ratio than solid plates, this supports the recommendation of stiffened plates for a variety of technical applications. In order to determine the impact of stiffener orientation on bending stress reduction in stiffened plates, additional investigations were carried out on a number of plates. An investigation was carried out to determine the ideal stiffener angle in a stiffened plate that could offer the least amount of stress. The current work offers insightful information about particular stiffened plate design characteristics that can be used in a variety of engineering contexts.

Published: November 2024

Diquat, glufosinate and the combination of the latter with carfentrazone or saflufenacil are believed to be as effective for pre-harvest desiccation of soybean plants as paraquat. This work was developed with the objective of evaluating the efficacy of paraquat, diquat, and glufosinate alone or at mixtures of carfentrazone or saflufenacil in pre-harvest desiccation of soybean. Soybean defoliation, maturity and yield were evaluated. Similar efficacy was observed between glufosinate and paraquat in soybean defoliation and maturity, in addition to a greater flexibility of use, in which it could be an anticipator and standardizing agent of the harvest. The application of diquat (200 g of active ingredient [a.i.] ha-1), paraquat (200 g a.i. ha-1) or glufosinate (400 or 500 g a.i. ha-1) was effective for pre-harvest desiccation of soybean at the R7.2 stage. As well, it was observed promising results for application of glufosinate + saflufenacil (300 + 24.5 g a.i. ha-1), glufosinate + carfentrazone (200 + 25 g a.i. ha-1), glufosinate + saflufenacil (200 + 35 g a.i. ha-1). Diquat and glufosinate can replace paraquat in pre-harvest desiccation of soybean plants, and glufosinate also provide greater management flexibility, in anticipating the harvest.

Published: November 2024

The effect of the inclusion of whey in the diet of growing female and male lambs was evaluated at the SAIS Pachacutec - Peru. Eighty rejected lambs of the Corriedale breed were selected. Each treatment was randomly distributed in four groups n=20 (10 females and 10 males) and each group was distributed in four treatments: T0 (0% whey); T1 (20% whey); T2 (40% whey) and T3 (60% whey) which were added to the base feed (fresh cow's milk). The nutritional components of the diet were evaluated and the NRC tables were considered to supply the amount of milk according to their development, growth, and body weight. An adaptation period of five days with the feed and 40 days of trial was carried out. Initial weights (kg), final weights and weight gain (kg), and daily weight gain (g) were recorded. The results showed that there were no differences (p>0.05) for initial weights. On the contrary, final weights and daily weight gain showed significant differences (p<0.05) between treatments and genders. T0 and T1 with male gender showed higher means for final weight (6.247 ± 0.03 kg) and (6.244 ± 0.03 kg) respectively, as well as for daily weight gain (77.7 ± 0.67 g) and (77.7 ± 0.6 g) respectively. The results suggested that the diet with 20% whey and 80% fresh cow milk improved growth and development of rejected lambs.

Published: November 2024

As doses de P a serem aplicadas na cultura do milho comumente são elevadas em decorrência do baixo aproveitamento do nutriente devido a sua adsorção ao solo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso das bactérias solubilizadoras de fosfato Bacillus megaterium e Bacillus subtilis, e do fungo micorrízico Rhizophagus intraradices, bem como a interação entre eles, e a possibilidade de redução da adubação fosfatada na cultura do milho.  O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, em um fatorial 4x3, sendo o fator A composto por diferentes microrganismos solubilizadores de P (micorrizas e BiomaPhos®) e o fator B composto por diferentes doses de P (100, 75 e 50% da dose recomendada). A redução das doses de P, sem o uso de inoculantes, resultou em menor área foliar e teor de clorofila, porém não foi observado efeito significativo na altura das plantas. Nos componentes de rendimento número de grãos por espiga, peso de mil grãos e produtividade, a inoculação compensou a redução das doses. A aplicação de 50% da dose de P juntamente com a inoculação das bactérias foi o tratamento com maior margem bruta, sendo viável para a redução da adubação mineral.

Na videira, o balanço entre a carga de frutas e a área foliar adequadamente iluminada influência na quantidade e na qualidade da produção, sendo necessário em alguns casos, a realização do manejo do dossel vegetativo. Nesse contexto, objetiva-se com este trabalho avaliar a influência do manejo do dossel vegetativo na qualidade da videira ‘Bordô’, através dos seguintes tratamentos: T1 - sem manejo de desfolha e sem desponte; T2 - sem manejo da desfolha e com desponte; T3 - com manejo da desfolha e sem desponte; T4 - com manejo da desfolha e com desponte. O trabalho foi realizado no munício de Canoinhas - SC, durante o ciclo 2022/2023, em um delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições e dez plantas por parcela. As bagas provenientes do T1 apresentaram, em média, o menor teor de sólidos solúveis (12,9 °Brix), maior valor para acidez titulável (133,1 meq/L) e menor valor para pH (3,23), porém não diferiram do T4 em nenhuma das variáveis.  A ausência de poda verde e o manejo da desfolha e desponte não favoreceram as variáveis relacionadas à maturação. As bagas oriundas do T2 apresentaram teor de sólidos solúveis (14,2 °Brix) superior aos T1 e T4, acidez menor que T1 e T4 (116,3 meq/L) e pH 3,30, portanto o desponte favoreceu a qualidade das uvas, em comparação com a testemunha e o tratamento com desponte e desfolha. Os melhores resultados foram constatados no T3, com 15,2 °Brix, 108,9 meq/L de acidez e pH de 3,39. Conclui-se que a prática da desfolha no estádio fenológico de grão chumbinho favorece a maturação e qualidade das uvas.
Insights of hepatozoonosis transmitted by H. Canis
Authors: Henrique Anna Luisa Pizzaia , Miranda Lívia Mendes , Castilioni Leonardo
Published: November 2024

Hepatozoonosis caused by H. Canis is a hemoparasitic disease transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. In vertebrate hosts, the disease primarily occurs through ingestion of the hemoparasite or its components. Hepatozoon spp. infection typically remains subclinical, only becoming diagnosed upon microscopic observation of the hemoparasite during blood smear analysis. However, in certain instances, moderate or severe clinical manifestations may occur. Due to limited research focusing on Hepatozoonosis, diagnosis can present challenges, as well as selecting the appropriate test to confirm it, with PCR being considered the preferred method for detection. A two-and-a-half-month-old Golden Retriever puppy was examined, exhibiting symptoms of vomiting, lethargy, bloody diarrhea, anorexia, and hyperthermia (39°C - 102,2°F). Diagnosis was confirmed by observation of Hepatozoon spp. parasites in the blood smear, alongside severe anemia, presence of microagglutination, and elevated total protein levels. The treatment was initiated with Doxycycline, and following the patient´s improvement, the owner opted to proceed with castration and subsequently administer two doses of Imidocarb Dipropionate at 5mg/kg with a 14-day interval.
The Silence of the Israeli Supreme Court Judges
Authors: Bassok Or
Published: November 2024

The arrest warrants by the ICC for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity are a red card for the Israeli legal system indicating grave doubts whether the Israeli legal system fulfills the complementarity requirement. Paradoxically, an indictment on the Israeli justice system arrives after the Israeli Supreme Court has recently fortified its position. Yet, the more the Court expanded its reach into the political arena, the less it could fulfill its core role of defending basic human rights.

Published: November 2024

The common factors determining Commercial banks’ lending to SMEs are internal and external. This study assessed the combined effect of these two factors that determine the commercial banks’ credit accessibility and SMEs’ growth in Nigeria. Data from 1990 to 2023 were used to evaluate the hypothesis. The outcome demonstrates that the internal factors of commercial banks factors on credit accessibility to SMEs were 0.039110 and statistically significant at the 5% level (p-value = 0.0254). The outcome suggests that internal factors of commercial bank determinants on the availability of credit to SMEs play a significant impact on the expansion of SMEs in Nigeria. At the 5 per cent level, the external influence of commercial banks on SMEs' access to credit was -0.014003 and statistically insignificant (p-value = 0.2757). The results will substantially aid in designing and implementing monetary policy about the cash reserve requirement. It also conveys to SMEs the significance of cash reserve requirements in improving loan accessibility in Nigeria. As a result, the paper recommends that monetary policy be continually improved to favour SMEs because doing so will facilitate their expansion.

Islamic educational institutions often face conflicts arising from misalignment between individual goals and institutional objectives, ineffective communication, and competition over resource utilization. Such conflicts, if not properly managed, can hinder organizational productivity. However, conflict management based on Islamic values, such as open dialogue, clarification, compromise, and accommodation, has proven to transform conflicts into opportunities for innovation, strengthen collaboration, and enhance productivity. This study adopts a literature review approach to analyze conflict management strategies aimed at improving the productivity of Islamic educational institutions. The findings reveal that a constructive approach to conflict management not only resolves issues but also fosters a harmonious and inclusive work environment. By employing strategies such as negotiation, mediation, and collaboration, conflicts can become drivers of innovation and organizational performance improvement. Moreover, the role of wise leadership in establishing policies based on Islamic values is crucial for creating a synergistic, productive, and competitive organization. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing sustainable and effective conflict management strategies in Islamic educational institutions.

Sleep apnea is one of the most common sleep disorders, posing a significant health risk. The proposed paper provides a prospective technique by applying machine learning to enable the early prediction of sleep apnea. Two methodologies were used for this study: Firstly, the hybrid model was used in analyzing the electrocardiogram records by combining VGG16 and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for the extraction of meaningful features from the ECG signals for modeling the process of aiding detection. Second, lifestyle patterns were assessed in their relationship with the disorder. Many lifestyle factors were analyzed in search of critical indicators that may, at an early age, indicate the onset of the case of sleep apnea. The fusion of deep learning methods and analysis of lifestyle patterns offers a comprehensive framework for the solution to the complexity of sleep apnea detection. More exactly, this kind of interdisciplinary approach should permit improvement in effectiveness and accuracy for early diagnosis, therefore enabling timely intervention and treatment of that effect. Proposed here is an innovative methodology that could lead to better management and recovery of the affected.

Authors: Antonio Ortega Vanessa , Taborda Serna Sergio Mauricio , Parra Bermeo Jesús David
Published: November 2024

El ciberbullying se ha consolidado como una forma alarmante de violencia en Colombia, afectando a un considerable porcentaje de niños y adolescente, especialmente entre los 12 y 14 años, donde la prevalencia alcanza el 43,2%. Un 34,6% de los estudiantes de secundaria reportan haber sido víctimas, siendo las mujeres las más afectadas (38,5%). Este fenómeno, impulsado por teorías de violencia de género y aprendizaje social, se desarrolla en redes sociales como Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp y la X, representando el 70,2% de los casos. Las consecuencias son devastadoras: el 60,3% de las víctimas sufre problemas de salud mental y un 20,5% ha considerado el suicidio. A pesar de los avances en la legislación colombiana, aún queda un extenso camino por recorrer. La Corte Constitucional destaca la urgencia de un marco normativo integral que aborde la violencia de género digital. Es esencial que, más allá de las leyes y campañas de sensibilización, como sociedad nos unamos para fortalecer la prevención. Esta lucha contra el ciberbullying es un compromiso social y ético global, involucrando a autoridades, educadores y familias. Solo así podremos construir un entorno digital seguro frente a la constante evolución de las tecnologías y los nuevos desafíos que estas presentan.

This investigation delineates a thorough methodology for the formulation of a parametric model about a palm fruit digester apparatus, employing the tenets of dimensional analysis. The palm fruit digester, an essential component within the palm oil manufacturing processes, encompasses intricate interactions among various parameters that influence its operational efficiency and throughput. A palm fruit digester was conceptualised and fabricated locally to attain a more profound comprehension of these interrelationships. The performance parameter was scrutinized as data were amassed during the apparatus's testing, and the Buckingham Pi theorem was utilized to derive dimensionless Pi terms from pertinent parameters. The results of our analysis indicated that R2 values of 0.9956 for both throughput and machine efficiency were achieved. Consequently, the model can forecast the efficiency and throughput of the palm fruit digester. This helps researchers understand that the palm fruit digester's operational efficiency and throughput are essential to the industry's sustainability, financial stability, and quality standards. In addition to helping to optimise these procedures, the dimensional analysis modelling approach advances strategic ideas that have the potential to reshape operational capabilities in the processing of palm oil.
Under Construction: A Boy's Struggle to Strengthen His Foundations Through Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Rosin Daphna
Published: November 2024

This article describes the sandplay process of seven-years-old Ron, a boy whose birth had been premature and difficult and was diagnosed with motor and speech developmental delays, ADHD, learning disabilities and emotional regulation difficulties. His therapeutic process began with chaotic and impulsive trays which gradually became more centered and well designed. He was deeply engaged with purifying the underground waters, cleansing the sand and strengthening the underlying foundations of his many buildings and roads, which may express an inner need to fix negative aspects of the mother archetype. He had a specific urge to construct houses for ants, those chthonic creatures who also mythically helped Psyche develop ego strength and a better connection with the positive inner masculine. The author brings clinical material showing the child's unrelenting efforts to cleanse the "pipes of his soul" and achieve a better inner balance and a more solid sense of self through sandplay therapy.
From Trauma to Healing: A Child's Journey
Authors: Craft Elizabeth
Published: November 2024

The author describes a sandplay process of a five-year old girl who was removed from the home because of trauma and abuse. A strong co-transference (Bradway, 1991) as well as the containment provided by the therapist, allowed the girl the "free and protected space" (Kalff, 1966/2020) needed to work through her losses and showcase her strengths. The child created scenes representing the events of her life, as well as tales of princesses threatened by dragons, ultimately protected and saved. Kalsched's work on trauma and healing, particularly his description of the "self-care system" (1996), is an apt theoretical support to the clinical material. "Often the early story of a trauma survivor is a mythological story before it is a personal one" (Kalsched, 2013, p. 5).
A Woman's Search for Identity in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Castellano Ruth
Published: November 2024

The author, Ruth Castellano, presents the long-term sandplay therapy process of a woman in search of her feminine identity while coming to terms with her strict cultural upbringing. The client's sandplay images depict psychological movement from construction, to destruction and chaos, to opening into more positive relationships with herself, her family, and a new partner. The client's sandplay process allowed her to interact with archetypal symbolism that reflected unconscious processes, including symbolic alchemical interactions with fire, water, air, and earth. As the treatment unfolded, the unconscious offered support through dreams, through her body, and through sandplay. The client's work began with suffering symbolized by the image of a cracked and broken heart in the tray, and ended with the image of a whole heart.

Considering the advancements in urbanization and the emergence of modern urbanization phenomena, the responsibility of each individual living in cities for urban management and achieving urban objectives has become particularly significant. This study presents a model to explain the responsibility of Isfahan citizens, utilizing a quantitative survey approach and standardized questionnaires for analysis. The analysis revealed that demographic characteristics (gender, age, education, and income), social satisfaction, socioeconomic status, institutional trust, religiosity, and national mass media are the most influential factors affecting the responsibility of Isfahan citizens. Although the proposed model does not offer a formal methodology, it provides valuable insights and demonstrates good model fit, comprising these variables.
Vilnius, which did not become the capital of West Belarus
Authors: Boćkowski Daniel
Published: November 2024

The article deals with the problem of the State dependence of Vilnius on the eve and at the beginning of World War II (August–October 1939). The problem of Vilnius is considered within the broad context of international relations in Europe. Special attention is devoted to the plans and actions on the eve of Poland’s onslaught and in the second half of September 1939. After the partition by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union the spheres of influence of Poland and the Baltic States, the question of occupation and annexation of the eastern lands of Poland (Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and Vilnius Territory) came forth. The Soviets planned to settle that issue by staging the independent accession of the occupied territories to the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, the settlement of the issue of Vilnius was far more complicated than the incorporation of the eastern lands of Poland. Even in the secret protocols of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact it was foreseen to take into account the interests of Lithuania in the Vilnius Territory. J. Stalin used Vilnius as the means of pressure on Lithuania seeking to sign the agreement of mutual assistance and to dislocate the Soviet military bases in Lithuania. The Soviets threatened to annex the Vilnius Territory to the Byelorussian SSR in the case Lithuania refused to allow the stationing of the Soviet military bases. Vilnius became a certain Trojan horse, which opened the gates to the subjugation of Lithuania and other Baltic States.
