Overcoming error fossilization in academic writing: strategies for Saudi EFL learners to move beyond the plateau
Authors: Albelihi Hani Hamad M. , Al-Ahdal Arif
Published: November 2024

The current study explores error fossilization in the academic writing of Saudi English as a Foreign Language (EFL) undergraduate learners. A manual textual analysis approach, employing corpus content analysis on writing across diverse genres including argumentative, expository, narrative, and descriptive essays was conducted to discover the fossilized errors. The results showed that certain errors, such as idiomatic language usage and subject-verb agreement, appear to be fossilized, while others diminish over time. The study highlights specific instances of error fossilization, including challenges related to articles, idiomatic language, plural markers, negative markers, and prepositions. These errors are attributed to factors such as linguistic differences between Arabic and English, limited exposure to authentic language materials, and cultural influences. This study provides valuable insights into the complexities of error fossilization among Saudi EFL undergraduates. By understanding the factors contributed to these errors and their underlying causes, educators can develop tailored approaches to language instruction, ultimately enhancing English proficiency in similar contexts.

Published: November 2024

Background

Despite advances in pain management, cancer-related pain remains a critical issue for many patients. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of fascial plane blocks, such as the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB), for managing chronic pain, including in the oncology field. We conducted a systematic review to synthetize existing evidence on the use of ESPB for cancer pain management.

Methods

We selected studies published between January 2016 to April 2024. A systematic search in Pubmed and Embase databases was performed. The search strategy included the following keywords and/or MeSH terms according to the controlled vocabulary of the databases sought: ((erector spinae plane block) OR (ESP block) OR (ESPB) AND ((cancer pain). We considered eligible Randomized, nonrandomized studies, case series and case reports reporting data on the use of ESPB in patients with cancer pain.

Results

The search revealed 34 studies. Among these, we found one RCT, three retrospective studies, two case series, and 28 case reports for a total of 135 patients. Studies included described the use of ESPB for the management of various types of cancer pain across different conditions, including chronic thoracic cancer-related pain, abdominal visceral pain and pain related to bone metastases. Single-shot ESPB was performed in 26 studies while continuous ESPB and the use of a peripheral nerve catheter for continuous analgesia were described in 8 studies. Neurolytic ESPB was performed in 6 studies for a total of 10 patients There was a high clinical heterogeneity in terms of technique, drugs, and use of adjuvants. The lack of comparators was a major flaw, together with the low level of evidence in the majority of the included studies.

Conclusions

The evidence supporting the use of ESPB for cancer pain management is currently scarce, heterogeneous, and of low quality. To better understand its potential and provide robust clinical guidance, future research needs to focus on rigorous comparative studies, standardization of techniques and larger sample sizes.

Authors: Kojima Risako , Takeno Shinsuke , Ikenoue Makoto , Chiyotanda Teru , Araki Yusuke , Tashiro Kousei , Kawano Fumiaki , Nanashima Atsushi , Furukawa Kouji
Published: November 2024

Background

Submucosal hemorrhage of the esophagus is relatively rare and the course of this disease remains unclear. We report a case of this disease.

Case presentation

The patient was a 68-year-old man who visited a clinic complaining of sudden-onset epigastric and back pain. He had been taking warfarin and a statin due to non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, right subclavian artery stenosis, and chronic atrial fibrillation. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed esophageal submucosal hemorrhage. Detailed endoscopic examination was difficult because of the massive hemorrhage and progressive esophageal mucosal edema. He was transferred to our hospital due to progression of anemia. Fortunately, hemorrhagic anemia showed no progression with conservative fasting therapy after admission to our hospital. Esophageal mucosa over the submucosal hemorrhage detached and regenerative tissue was observed on endoscopic examination 1 week later.

Conclusions

Esophageal submucosal hemorrhage should be included among the differential diagnoses for patients presenting with chest and back pain.
A never-ending story: The COVID-19 pandemic and the increase of hospital admissions for typical and atypical anorexia nervosa in children, adolescents and young adults in the post-pandemic era in Germany
Authors: Herpertz-Dahlmann Beate , Eckardt Stefan , Dempfle Astrid
Published: November 2024

Background

A large increase in the rate of hospitalizations for adolescents and children with anorexia nervosa (AN) was observed during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It is still not clear whether this was a temporary effect or whether the increased admission rates persist.

Methods

Data were retrieved from the largest health insurance in Germany comprising 2.5 million children between 9 and 19 y. All patients of this age group with a discharge diagnosis of typical (AN) and atypical AN (AAN) according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), were included. Admission rates per 10,000 person-years were computed separately by sex, age and type of AN for entire years from 2019 to 2022 and the first half of 2023 in relation to the entire number of insured persons of the same sex and age per year.

Results

Two years after the final lockdown admission rates were still significantly higher in adolescent and childhood AN than in the pre-COVID-19 time. While admission rates declined for adolescents in 2023, those for children remained high, with an increase for girls of more than 40% compared with the rate before the pandemic (1.42 (CI 1.26, 1.60); p < 0.0001). The highest admission risk for AAN relative to the pre-COVID-19 period was observed in adolescents in the first half of 2023 (1.6; CI 1.34; 1.90; p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Children appear to be especially vulnerable to the pandemic-associated disruptions. Clinicians should try to determine the ongoing effects of the pandemic and support early detection and treatment of AN to prevent its often lifelong consequences.

Authors: Azizoddin Desiree R. , DeForge Sara M. , Edwards Robert R. , Baltazar Ashton R. , Schreiber Kristin L. , Allsop Matthew , Banson Justice , Oseuguera Gabe , Businelle Michael , Tulsky James A. , Enzinger Andrea C.
Published: November 2024

PURPOSE

Cancer-related pain is prevalent among people with advanced cancer. To improve accessibility and engagement with pain-cognitive behavioral therapy (pain-CBT), we developed and tested a serious game hosted within a mobile health intervention that delivers pain-CBT and pharmacologic support. The game focuses on teaching and practicing cognitive restructuring (CR), a central pain-CBT intervention component.

METHODS

The pain-CBT game was developed through partnerships with commercial and academic game developers, graphic designers, clinical experts, and patients. Patients with metastatic cancer and pain participated in iterative, semistructured interviews. They described their experience playing each level and reflected on relevance, clarity, usability, and potential changes. Content codes captured patients' suggestions and informed game refinements.

RESULTS

The final game includes five levels that prompt players to distinguish between adaptive and maladaptive thoughts that are pain- and cancer-specific. The levels vary in objective (eg, hiking and sledding), interaction type (eg, dragging and tapping), and mode of feedback (eg, audio and animation). Fourteen participants reviewed the game. Patients appreciated the pain- and cancer-specific thought examples, with a few noting that the thoughts made them feel less alone. Many stated that the game was fun, relatable, and an engaging distraction. Others noted that the game provided helpful CR practice and prompted reflection. For example, one 40-year-old woman said the game “brings [a thought] to the forefront so you can acknowledge it, and then maybe you could let it go or… do something about it.”

CONCLUSION

Patients coping with cancer pain found the CR game helpful, enjoyable, and satisfactory. Serious games have the potential to increase engagement while facilitating learning and rehearsal of psychological skills for pain. Future testing will evaluate the efficacy of this serious game.

H μέτρηση της έκφρασης πρωτεϊνών σε ιστό σε παραφίνη συνήθως γίνεται με τη μέθοδο της ανοσοϊστοχημείας ή του ποσοτικού ανοσοφθορισμού, που επιτρέπει την ταυτόχρονη μέτρηση ενός μεγάλου αριθμού πρωτεϊνικών στόχων σε μία μόνο ιστική τομή. Η τεχνική Nanostring Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) επιτρέπει την ταυτόχρονη μέτρηση πολλαπλών ανοσολογικών δεικτών με χωροταξικό προσδιορισμό. Σε αυτή τη μελέτη, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η τεχνική Nanostring DSP με ένα πάνελ 44 αντισωμάτων που στοχεύουν ανοσολογικούς δείκτες, για την ανακάλυψη προβλεπτικών δεικτών ανταπόκρισης στην ανοσοθεραπεία. Η τεχνική NanoString DSP συγκρίθηκε με την τεχνική ποσοτικού ανοσοφθορισμού AQUA (Automated Quantitative Immunofluorescence) ως προς την συμφωνία τους στην ποσοτική μέτρηση διαφόρων ανοσολογικών δεικτών σε διαφορετικά χωροταξικά διαμερίσματα του ιστού καθώς και ως προς την αναπαραγωγή του προγνωστικού ρόλου του CD3 σε ασθενείς με ΜΜΚΠ. Στη συνέχεια, η τεχνολογία NanoString DSP χρησιμοποιήθηκε σε ιστό από κύβο παραφίνης τύπου ΤΜΑ που περιλάμβανε 58 ασθενείς με μελάνωμα για την ανακάλυψη προβλεπτικών δεικτών ανταπόκρισης στην ανοσοθεραπεία. Ένα πάνελ 44 δεικτών μετρήθηκαν ποσοτικά σε 3 χωροταξικά διαμερίσματα (μακροφάγα, λεμφοκύτταρα και καρκινικά κύτταρα), δημιουργώντας συνολικά 132 μεταβλητές. Η συμφωνία των ποσοτικών μετρήσεων των CD3, CD4, CD8, CD20 και PD-L1 και ο προβλεπτικός ρόλος του CD3 που επιβεβαιώθηκε και από τις δύο τεχνικές οδηγεί στο συμπέρασμα ότι οι δύο τεχνολογίες (NanoString DSP και AQUA) είναι συγκρίσιμες. Από τις 132 μεταβλητές, 11 και 15 ανοσολογικοί δείκτες συσχετίζονται με μακρύτερο διάστημα χωρίς υποτροπή και μακρύτερη ολκή επιβίωση αντίστοιχα. Επιπρόσθετα, σε αυτή τη μελέτη παρουσιάζουμε ότι η έκφραση του PD-L1 στα μακροφάγα και όχι στα καρκινικά κύτταρα είναι προβλεπτικός δείκτης ανταπόκρισης στην ανοσοθεραπεία.

MECHANISMS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF PERSONALITY IN A CRISIS SITUATION
Authors: Malegonova Svetlana A.
Published: November 2024

Background. The question of the mechanisms of psychological adaptation of a person in crisis situations is quite acute in modern psychological science. Based on the theoretical consideration of the problem of the implementation of tasks for the psychological adaptation of personality, the author of the work proves the fruitfulness of further scientific developments on the issue raised in the article. There is no unity among scientists on approaches to theoretical models of psychological adaptation of a person in a crisis situation (including non-normative).
Purpose. Conduct a theoretical examination of the mechanisms of psychological adaptation of the individual in crisis situations.
Materials and methods. The work is based on general scientific research methods, among which generalization, systematization, analysis and synthesis are central. The author of the article takes into account a complex of scientific developments devoted to theoretical models of psychological adaptation of the individual in crisis situations.
Results. During the study, it was found that despite a deeply scientific understanding of the problem of the mechanisms of psychological adaptation of the individual in crisis situations, this issue needs further development, in particular, the attention of scientists is insufficiently focused on theoretical models of overcoming adaptation difficulties in the process of living in non-normative crisis situations. In this connection, we consider it necessary to introduce into psychological practice such a mechanism as a life perspective, which is one of the ways for an individual to overcome adaptation difficulties while receiving psychological support from a psychologist.
Further application of the obtained results. The results of the study may be in demand in further scientific research in the field of psychological adaptation of the individual, as well as in the training of specialists in the psychological sphere of professional activity.

Authors: Zhebrunova Lyudmila A.
Published: November 2024

Background. The novelty of the article lies in the original approach to involving students of non-linguistic direction of studies (namely, sport) into research work conducted by the Department of Foreign Languages. The student research club of the Department acts as an organizing and supervising body of the project activities within the students’ community. While doing the project described hereby, students can develop both their communicative competence and their experience in conducting research. These are considered the main purposes of the work under review. Comparing sports terminologies in Russian and English, young researchers are meant to study terminological nomination within the cognitive linguistic paradigm, i.e. on the concept of the metaphorical modeling. Thus learning basics of the linguistic research, students may acquire a better understanding of the process of the terminological nomination in Russian which is under strong influence of English. This also contributes to the deepening of students' knowledge of intercultural communication.
Purpose. The study aims to improve the communicative and research skills of the students of Physical Education through their involvement into the work of the student research club organized in the Department of Foreign Languages.
Materials and methods. The task was to organize and implement a student research project in the field of linguistics. The main participants of the projects were the students of the various branches of sports, studying to be coaches and teachers of Physical Education. There were used methods of applied linguistics to study bilingual terminological glossaries, and the method of metaphorical modeling. The project is a comprehensive study of the Russian and English-language figure skating terms in comparison. The methodology is based on studies of terminological systems and analysis of sociocultural stereotypes.
Results. The study has practical as well as educational values. The project activity of the described type can contribute to the students' understanding of the nature of the language nomination in Russian and English in comparison. It may also be used to deepen the students' knowledge and to develop their skills in the field of intercultural communication, to get them acquainted with the basics of scientific research, to motivate them to choose science and research as their future professional area.

Authors: Pugach Olga I. , Startseva Natalia V.
Published: November 2024

Background. AI emergence and rapid development of the related technologies is significantly changing the economy and social sphere of Russia. The influence of AI technologies on education is quite complex and multifaceted: on the one hand, artificial intelligence contributes to the processes of digital transformation, and, therefore, to increased efficiency and technological effectiveness. On the other hand, it poses a number of complex ethical problems and makes the daily work of the teacher in monitoring students more complicated.
Purpose. Analysis of the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence for generating individual teaching materials (using the example of the disciplines Programming and Foreign (English) language.
Materials and methods. The main research method is experimental. ChatGPT-4o and queries in English are used to generate tasks, test questions of various types, information and reference materials (synopses). To analyze the received materials, standard algorithms for reviewing teaching aids are used. The article includes a content analysis of publications on the problems of using artificial intelligence in education, educational materials presented by generative AI development companies (Google, Microsoft).
Results. Current stage of development of generative artificial intelligence facilitates to use it effectively to generate standard teaching materials: tasks, texts, examples, brief inquiries. The quality of the obtained materials depends on the accuracy of the queries (AI prompt) and is heterogeneous for different disciplines. The paper presents methodological recommendations for the generation of test materials for the disciplines “Foreign Language (English)” and “Programming”, as well as institutional conditions for the safe use of the obtained materials in the educational process of the university.

PEDAGOGY OF UNIVERSAL ARTISTIC THOUGHT
Authors: Gagaev Pavel A.
Published: November 2024

Background. The article examines the phenomenon of artistic and imaginative thinking and its formation in humans as a pedagogical reality. The problem is as important as it is poorly studied in the literature.
The purpose of the study is to develop the pedagogy of artistic thinking (its content, orientation, and nature of human impact).
Materials and methods. The material of understanding in the article is works on the problem of man, the phenomenon of artistic and figurative creativity (as a universal reality), the pedagogy of artistic thought, the experience of pedagogical activity based on an appeal to the category of beauty. The methodology of the research is the idealistic–substrate reflection of A.A. Gagaev. The methods are phenomenological analysis and substrate synthesis.
Results. Imaginative thinking is interpreted as the oldest form of consciousness expressing the presence of a personalizing universe in the human psyche and its desire to harmonize itself. The basis of imaginative thinking is the belief of the surrounding as universal spirituality, which has acquired the contours of its ideal (measure). Imaginative thinking is understood as a reality that has a beneficial effect on human spirituality (its development and improvement) and his behavior. The pedagogy of imaginative thought is understood as a non-interfering effect on the psyche of the educated from the side of actualization of universal meanings, semantics and intentions inherent in it (retention of everything and everything, search for the unity of everything and everything, etc.). The actualization of this is carried out through the creation of a special value-epistemological context of interaction between the teacher and the student (attribution of the perceived to everything and everything),comprehension of the image as a universal reality, the category of measure as the median in the experience of the image and the student himself as discovering the reality of beauty in himself, minimizing the purposeful in interaction, through an appeal to the classical text, as well as with the participation of a specially trained teacher (the universality of his psyche and tact). The general inattention of modern schools to the problem under discussion is stated, which entails serious consequences for the education of students.
NEURAL NETWORK MACHINE TRANSLATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY
Authors: Volegzhanina Irina S. , Chusovlyanova Svetlana V.
Published: November 2024

Background. Mass usage of neural-network machine translation services by students of technical universities when studying foreign languages leads to the necessary changes in the working programme content and teaching instruments. Such a perspective causes ambiguous response among educators, which makes this problem relevant under the conditions of digital transformation of higher education.
Purpose. The authors aim to provide the results of a theoretical and empirical study of how the participants of the foreign language teaching and learning process respond to the mass implementation of neural network machine translators.
Materials and methods. Materials for this article are obtained by the method of questionnaire survey, which is conducted among instructors and students of Novosibirsk technical universities in 2024. For a deeper understanding concerning the attitude of respondents to the implementation of neural network machine translation apps in the teaching and learning process, retrospective conversations with students and semi-formalised interviews with instructors of Foreign Language Departments are conducted.
Results. The findings suggest a predominantly positive attitude of the instructors and students of Novosibirsk technical universities to the implementation of neural network machine translation services in teaching and learning foreign languages. Although there is a tendency to use such services to translate large pieces of their own texts, many students are focused on analysing the quality and editing their translates. The instructors, in their turn, note that neural network machine translators do not solve the problem of linguistic difficulties, especially when translating industry-specific texts. However, they find no reason to ban their students from using neural network machine translation services in classroom and extracurricular activities. Moreover, the instructors emphasise that the use of these instruments should be taught on purpose. Taking into account the respondents’ opinions, the authors offer to add a separate module devoted to the proper use of neural network machine translation services to the working programmes, which will contribute to the development of students’ critical thinking when solving academic, professional and research tasks.

Authors: Semyonkina Irina A. , Pavlova Tatyana A.
Published: November 2024

Background. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies hold significant promise for revolutionizing foreign language teaching methods. Current AI tools enable teachers to customize learning experiences, adapting materials and techniques to meet each learner's specific needs. By incorporating dynamic assessment into learning management systems, student progress is continually monitored, allowing educators to promptly adjust their teaching strategies. Immersive technologies, like virtual and augmented reality, offer interactive language environments where students can engage in real-life scenarios to practice their language skills. Speech synthesis technologies allow teachers to convert written text into spoken language, which improves students’ pronunciation and speaking skills.
The purpose of the study is to examine the use of AI tools in teaching foreign languages at Russian universities and future trends in this area.
Materials and methods. The authors analyzed current domestic and international scientific works on the integration of AI tools in foreign language education and conducted a study on the perception and evaluation of the aforementioned technology within the Russian teaching community.
Results. A survey of 104 teachers showed the staff interest in mastering new technologies and their readiness to develop professional skills for the successful use of AI in the educational process. The study analyzes the current state of the field, identifies potential risks and discusses development prospects. The impact of AI on foreign language education tends to grow in the nearest future, opening up new opportunities for more effective and accessible learning.
SPECIFICS OF DEVELOPING REFLECTIVE SKILLS OF STUDENTS MAJORING IN PEDAGOGICS
Authors: Usheva Tatyana F.
Published: November 2024

Background. The article addresses the issue of developing reflective skills of future teachers during their university training. The object of the research is students' reflective skills determining their disposition to professional pedagogical activity.
The purpose of the article is to examine the dynamics of reflective skills development of students majoring in pedagogics through their reflective activities during the learning process.
Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is reflective, competence-based and system approaches. The author used the following methods: comparative analysis of pedagogical facts on the research topic, testing, pedagogical experiment, and survey. The collection of empirical data was carried out by using various pedagogical tools such as the questionnaire for self-understanding in the process of communication (by William Stephenson); the experimental technique of cooperative reflection (by T.F. Usheva and others); the method of activity analysis (by S.D. Neverovich and others), and the questionnaire for individual manifestations of reflection by A.V. Karpov. The study included 73 students of pedagogical specialties of Irkutsk State University.
Results. The results of the study demonstrate positive dynamics of developing reflective skills of students majoring in pedagogics. Organizing the learning process based on reflective activity allowed to develop personal reflective skills in the beginning. The next stage included developing intellectual, communicative and cooperative types of reflective skills. The process of developing cooperative reflective skills turned out to be the hardest to start. Mainly, this process is complicated by problems in reaching agreement of students' activity positions and planning their collective actions. The dynamics of developing reflective skills does not depend on the stage of higher education (studying for bachelor's or master's degree). Students of every stage of higher education demonstrated the same trajectory of developing the four types of reflective skills.

Authors: Sosnickaya Natalya L. , Shmanaeva Yulia N.
Published: November 2024

Background. Modern reforms in education increasingly affect the issues of health preservation of teachers and students. Health-preserving culture is an integral part of the professional training of primary school teachers and the key to their successful teaching activities. The formed health-preserving culture of future primary school teachers will contribute to the preservation and strengthening of health, both teachers and their students. The authors identified the structural components of health-preserving culture, contributing to its formation in future primary school teachers, and also established the criteria, indicators and levels of formation of health-preserving culture, allowing to diagnose the level of formation of health-preserving culture in future primary school teachers.
Purpose – to reveal the content of the concept of "health-preserving culture of primary school teachers", to identify and theoretically substantiate the structural components, criteria, indicators and levels of formation of the health-preserving culture of future primary school teachers.
Materials and methods. The research materials were obtained in the process of studying and analyzing scientific publications, pedagogical and methodological literature devoted to health-preservation issues. In preparing the article, a descriptive method was used, using elements of systematization, allowing to generalize and systematize the data of theoretical research, to define "health-preserving culture of primary school teachers", to identify its components, criteria, indicators and levels of formation.
Results. The main approaches to defining the concept of "health-preserving culture" are established: pedagogical, activity-based, sociological. The identification of the concepts of "health-preserving culture" and "health culture" is revealed. The health-preserving culture of a primary school teacher is defined as a value attitude of a teacher to his or her health and the health of students, as well as pedagogical activity aimed at preserving and increasing health. The structural components of the health-preserving culture of future primary school teachers are identified - motivational-value, cognitive, activity-based and reflexive, which represent the basis for the formation of the health-preserving culture of future primary school teachers. A table of compliance of criteria, indicators and levels of formation of the structural components of the health-preserving culture of future primary school teachers is developed.
CREATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TEACHERS-NAVIGATORS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION OF STUDENTS
Authors: Tuktamysheva Svetlana F.
Published: November 2024

Background. The vocational guidance minimum for students involves the training of teachers-navigators. Systematizing many years of experience in career guidance, the author offers a comprehensive support system for career guidance consultants as a part of specialized programs of additional professional education for teachers-navigators.
Purpose. Analysis of the pilot version of recommendations for teachers-navigators.
Materials and methods. The principles of a systematic approach are chosen as the methodological basis: integrity, structure, hierarchy, multiplicity, that are consistent with the modern understanding of career guidance as a systemic process. An empirical study was conducted using interviews of random respondents in the form of questionnaire survey. The article contains a set of sources presented by normative legal acts, theoretical studies of the problem elaboration in scientific sources and psychological and pedagogical practice, as well as survey materials
Results. Representatives of the educational sphere are often unaware of modern scientific concepts of professional self-determination of students and do not apply them in practice. The request of the professional community for the proposed resource has been identified. In the database, the author combined the key concepts of career guidance, professional self-determination, career navigation, personal potential and potential for choice and self-determination. The author analyzes the feedback from two large segments of the target audience: career guidance consultants (33%) and teacher navigators (67%). We discovered the following: on the one hand, the database is really a resource for teachers-navigators and requires further strengthening; on the other hand, audience often has a request for ready-made solutions (instructions, typical scenarios), but isn’t ready for independent development, that is ensured by the database form itself.
Sztuka w poczekalni. Studia z dziejów sztuki polskiej poza Polską w XX i XXI wieku. Tom II
Authors: Sienkiewicz Jan Wiktor
Published: November 2024

Polish art created outside Poland – especially after the outbreak of World War II – is an extremely important phenomenon in the history of Polish artistic culture, which, despite serious recognition and many scientific studies conducted systematically and consistently since 1989 in university circles by the art historian prof. zw. dr. hab. Jan Wiktor Sienkiewicz, is still waiting for its own scientific corpus. The study presented to the readers is another supplement to the "map of clues" in the Polish art history of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is all the more important due to the fact that, especially in recent years (in the first and second decade of the 21st century), with the death of outstanding personalities of Polish artistic life in exile – both in European and non-European countries – many works of fine art and archives have been partially or completely destroyed or dispersed. Only a few archival and artistic collections concerning Polish art created in emigration after 1939, secured by the heirs, found their way back to Poland.
Polityka doświadczenia. Clement Greenberg i tradycja formalistycznej krytyki sztuki
Authors: Rejniak-Majewska Agnieszka
Published: November 2024

Stworzona przez Clementa Greenberga wykładnia modernizmu jest do dzisiaj obecna w świecie sztuki jako „negatywny układ odniesienia” dla aktualnych koncepcji i stanowisk. Książka stanowi próbę zmierzenia się z utrwalonym i niejednokrotnie uproszczonym obrazem poglądów amerykańskiego krytyka, jak również zbadania tego, jak przyjęty przezeń model interpretacji sytuował się na szerszej, rozumianej – geograficznie i historycznie – mapie nowoczesnej sztuki i teorii sztuki. Począwszy od dziewiętnastowiecznych koncepcji autonomizmu estetycznego i „czystej formy”, przez formalistyczne teorie percepcji i interpretacje nowoczesnej twórczości, ukazane są złożone genealogie dziewiętnastowiecznego formalizmu w myśli o sztuce. Wraz z pytaniem o znaczenie Greenbergowskiego dziedzictwa są omawiane również konteksty polemik z lat 60. i 70., związanych z doświadczeniami ówczesnej awangardy. Przyjęta w książce perspektywa wiąże się z postulowanym w humanistyce ostatnich lat powrotem do kategorii doświadczenia jako ośrodka przecinania się kulturowych wzorców z tym, co subiektywne i jednostkowe. Spojrzenie na tradycję formalistycznej krytyki pod kątem jej związków z konkretnymi praktykami artystycznymi i implikowanych odbiorczych nastawień stanowi próbę przełamania utrwalonych wyobrażeń na temat formalizmu jako chłodnej, bezosobowej metody bądź wizji estetycznego autonomizmu izolującej fakty artystyczne od innych zjawisk. Celem podjętych w książce analiz nie jest rekonstrukcja doktryny, która wtórnie nadawałaby jej zamknięty charakter, ale uchwycenie wzorców doświadczenia, jakie były angażowane i legitymizowane w formalistycznej krytyce sztuki.
Wstępując w ślady Salomona. Religia i nauka w myśli Francisa Bacona
Authors: Wewiór Przemysław
Published: November 2024

Impulsem do napisania książki była poślednia sława, którą cieszy się Francis Bacon. O tym filozofie często mówi się, że był słabym metodologiem, jeszcze słabszym naukowcem, a na domiar złego – pierwszym z dziejach bezrefleksyjnym piewcą nieokiełznanego postępu technicznego. Ta książka to próba innego spojrzenia na dziedzictwo Bacona. Jej punktem wyjścia jest krytyka interpretacji, które widzą w filozofie sekularystę i rzecznika prymitywnego utylitaryzmu. Autor odczytuje twórczość Bacona jako filozofię inspirowaną treściami religijnymi. Według filozofa nauka i technika są środkami, za pomocą których ludzie mogą przybliżyć realizację biblijnych przepowiedni dotyczących milenarystycznego królestwa – ostatniego okresu w dziejach . Z religijnej perspektywy postęp jest nieodłącznie związany z kultywowaniem cnót nadziei i miłosierdzia oraz dążeniem do pokoju religijnego. Przedstawiając utopijną wizje idealnego społeczeństwa w „Nowej Atlantydzie”, Bacon chciał zaszczepić u naukowców etos inspirowany religią, który miał skłonić ich, by służyli ludzkości. Treści religijne miały również wpływ na rozważania Bacona z zakresu metodologii nauki. Autor pokazuje, że wiele zaleceń metodologicznych filozofa było wzorowanych na biblijnych metodach interpretacji lub wprost inspirowanych Pismem Świętym. Zarówno za pomocą religijnie inspirowanej etyki, jak i metodologii Bacon chciał wytyczyć nowe zasady uprawiania nauki i jej cele. Ta nadzieja się ziściła. Idee filozofa zaczęli wcielać twórcy Royal Society – jednej z najważniejszych w historii instytucji badawczych.

This research evaluated the effects of fermentation temperatures on the qualities of soybeans fermented with Monascus sp. PSRU03. The conditions included consistent temperatures of 25°C for 20 days, 30°C for 20 days, and a cyclic pattern of 30°C for 4 days followed by 25°C for 16 days. The pigments and antioxidant properties of the fermented soybeans were evaluated. After fermentation, it was observed that the total pigment contents exhibited similarity across all conditions, with values ranging from 31.90 to 35.67 unit/g dry basis. Notably, Monascus sp. PSRU03 produced more yellow pigment than other colors, accounting for approximately 50-53%, which corresponded to a range of 6.94-14.31 unit/g dry basis. This phenomenon is distinctive in that the majority of industrially manufactured Monascus pigments are rich in red pigments. In terms of antioxidant properties, fermentation at 30°C produced the highest total phenolic compounds (6.10 mg GAE/g dry basis). However, DPPH radical-scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power were found to be not significantly different (P≥0.05) in all fermentation temperatures. These findings provide a foundation for optimizing industrial fermentation processes and exploring the health benefits of Monascus-fermented soybeans.

This review investigated dental implant artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their safety in clinical practice. Dental prostheses, including implants, crowns, and orthodontic appliances, cause artifacts due to their high magnetic susceptibility, particularly in materials like iron, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium. Titanium implants are considered safe under MRI environments according to the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) standards, with no reported thermal injury or dislodgement during examinations. Despite limited artifacts from titanium's paramagnetic nature, minute ferromagnetic components can still affect visualization. Thus, reducing artifacts in oral and maxillofacial MRI scans is crucial. Two main categories of artifact reduction techniques are identified: improved porous titanium or alternative materials like zirconia and adjusting MR parameters with advanced sequences. Recommendations include increasing the readout bandwidth, reducing slice thickness, using spin-echo sequences instead of gradient-echo, and employing short tau inversion recovery or DIXON techniques for fat suppression. Additional methods like VAT, VAT-SEMAC combination, and MAVRIC show promise, although applicability may be restricted in specific MRI scanners. Continuous advancements in dental implant materials and MRI sequences are needed to improve imaging quality and reduce artifacts. Collaboration among dental practitioners, radiologists, and MRI technologists is essential for refining techniques and ensuring patient safety. Although overall dental implant artifacts pose challenges, safety in MRI is well-established. Ongoing developments hold significant potential to enhance MRI imaging quality in patients with dental devices
Mixed skew cyclic codes over rings

Published: November 2024

This paper explores different types of skew cyclic codes by generating special subclasses with additional desirable properties. Specifically, we are interested in skew cyclic codes over mixed rings. We study some algebraic and structural properties of these codes and their constructions. We study skew cyclic codes over the mixed alphabet ring $\mathbb{F}_q(\mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q)$ under a mixed automorphism $(\theta,\tilde{\theta})$ and we give the structure of these codes for an arbitrary length via the non-commutative ring $\mathbb{F}_q[x,\theta](\mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q)[x,\tilde{\theta}]$. A condition for the existence of linear complementary dual (LCD) codes (which play an important role in practical applications such as armoring implementations against side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks) are explored specifically for skew cyclic codes.
The Unbearable Whiteness of John Brown: Theatrical Legacies and Performing Abolition

Abstract: John Brown is a figure so intensely contested as to embody diametrically opposed meanings according to the varied contexts in which his image has been activated. At times hailed as the man who started the US Civil War, Brown has been variously described as a righteous abolitionist, a religious zealot, a gifted orator, a formidable military strategist, a self-appointed white savior, and a madman. Today, Brown is conjured in the name of all manner of causes, from leftist gun clubs to collegiate sports, while his theatricalized image is activated in wildly disparate ways. The apparent singularity of Brown as a historical figure, together with his ready adoption and deployment across various arenas—from entertainment to revolutionary politics—presents a problem familiar to theatre and performance scholars, namely the space between the image or concept of a person (or a character) and their actual performance, in life or onstage. There is perhaps an obvious tension in the ways that John Brown is remembered and reperformed and for whom he is remembered and reperformed. Or, as Ted A. Smith points out in thinking with Brown: "An image, however iconic, is not an argument."

An advanced decision scheme is proposed to mitigate phase impairments in coherent optical communication systems. First, the centers of received signals affected by nonlinear impairment are calculated using tangential and radial hierarchical clustering. Then signal decisions with phase noise and nonlinear impairment tolerance are achieved through phase subsequence clustering, resulting in the improvement of transmission performance and the reduction of the computational complexity. The proposed scheme was simulated and experimentally verified in a 216 Gbit/s uniform and probabilistic-shaped (PS) polarization division multiplexing (PDM) 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (64-QAM) coherent optical communication system. The results indicate that the proposed scheme achieves a power budget increase of 0.1 dB in the uniform 64-QAM system and 1.7 dB in the PS 64-QAM system, respectively, compared to the cascaded schemes of 2-stage blind phase search and K-means. Furthermore, the proposed scheme reduces the computational complexity by 86.5% and 93.9%, respectively.

We demonstrate that amplitude modulation of a high-peak-power femtosecond laser pulse allows to change fundamentally the frequency-angular structure (FAS) of the supercontinuum formed during the filamentation in both molecular and atomic gases. Particularly, modulation with a 4-hole mask forms an inverted pattern of conical emission (CE) with its predominance in the Stokes wing of the pulse spectrum. We explain this phenomenon as a joint effect of self-phase modulation and temporal pulse splitting of interfering beamlets formed by the modulating mask. Our results pave a way for tailoring the frequency-angular structure of a filament-generated supercontinuum.
