Do Leader Evaluations (De)Mobilize Voter Turnout? Lessons From Presidential Elections in the United States
Authors: Harsgor Liran , Nevitte Neil
Published: December 2022

Do evaluations of presidential candidates in the US affect the level of voter turnout? Voters’ affections towards presidential candidates, we contend, can either stimulate or inhibit voter inclinations to turnout. Voters are more inclined to turn out when they have positive feelings towards the candidate with which they identify because they want “their” candidate to win. But citizens may also be more likely to vote when they dislike the candidate of the party with which they do not identify. In that case, voters are motivated to prevent the candidate from being elected. Utilizing the American National Election Studies data for 1968–2020, the analysis finds that the likelihood of voting is affected by (a) the degree to which voters’ affections towards the candidate differ from one another (having a clear‐cut choice between options) and (b) the nature of the affections (negative or positive) towards both in‐ and out‐party candidates.

Published: December 2022

Empowerment of human capabilities with new technologies that can increase labor productivity is an ever-increasing trend. The exponential rate of progress is demonstrated by artificial intelligence technologies. Existing applied solutions with the use of machine learning in pedagogy are analyzed, ways of its extrapolation to the convergence model of research training and machine learning are shown. As a basic idea, there are ideas generally accepted in the scientific community about the structure of education. The addition of this concept with the possibilities of quantitative content analysis made it possible to clarify the essence of “machine learning”, to substantiate its place among such related semantic concepts as “artificial intelligence” and “neural networks”. The applied systematic approach contributed to the identification of latent links between research training and machine learning, including the importance of a variety of structured and unstructured data on the subjects and objects of research training, the reliability of the data sources used. The SWOT analysis made it possible to substantiate the expediency of introducing and further developing the concept of “digital research profile” as one of the possible options for the convergence of man and machine, as well as to identify promising areas for the development of traditional pedagogical systems based on artificial intelligence.
A Hybrid Model for Android Malware Detection using Decision Tree and KNN
Authors: Kauser.Sk Heena , Anu.V Maria
Published: December 2022

Malwares are becoming a major problem nowadays all around the world in android operating systems. The malware is a piece of software developed for harming or exploiting certain other hardware as well as software. The term Malware is also known as malicious software which is utilized to define Trojans, viruses, as well as other kinds of spyware. There have been developed many kinds of techniques for protecting the android operating systems from malware during the last decade. However, the existing techniques have numerous drawbacks such as accuracy to detect the type of malware in real-time in a quick manner for protecting the android operating systems. In this article, the authors developed a hybrid model for android malware detection using a decision tree and KNN (k-nearest neighbours) technique. First, Dalvik opcode, as well as real opcode, was pulled out by using the reverse procedure of the android software. Secondly, eigenvectors of sampling were produced by utilizing the n-gram model. Our suggested hybrid model efficiently combines KNN along with the decision tree for effective detection of the android malware in real-time. The outcome of the proposed scheme illustrates that the proposed hybrid model is better in terms of the accurate detection of any kind of malware from the Android operating system in a fast and accurate manner. In this experiment, 815 sample size was selected for the normal samples and the 3268-sample size was selected for the malicious samples. Our proposed hybrid model provides pragmatic values of the parameters namely precision, ACC along with the Recall, and F1 such as 0.93, 0.98, 0.96, and 0.99 along with 0.94, 0.99, 0.93, and 0.99 respectively. In the future, there are vital possibilities to carry out more research in this field to develop new methods for Android malware detection.
Comparative Analysis of ANN-Based Mobility Prediction Performance in an Ad-Hoc Network
Authors: Debbarma Subrata , Kumar Rakesh
Published: December 2022

The facility of arbitrary node movement one side has advantages on application on the other side very difficult to manage the network because random node mobility directly effects on network connectivity and interrupt on the performance, obtained challenges like routing overhead, packet losses, increases energy consumption, wasted bandwidth for reconnection, decreases  throughput etc. Thus an accurate mobility prediction of a node before leaving one position to another or subsequence position can be improve network performance which is  effects by node mobility. Now day’s artificial neural networks (ANNs) is very common and trending for approximation and prediction application and also popular for node trajectory prediction. In this paper we explore the architectures of some static (like MLP and RBF) and dynamic (like FTDNN, DTDNN, NARX and LSTM) neural network and search best ANN model by obtaining optimal model parameters to predict node mobility and compared the performance using mobility model (Gauss Markov model) dataset as well as real-world dataset collected from Crawdad to highlight generalization capabilities. Mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and average coordinates distance error (DE) between observed and estimated positions are used to evaluate their performance. The empirical results show that LSTM is the best artificial neural network (ANN) model for mobility prediction in both model based and real-world dataset(testing sets).
De trobadoresca a paródica: a lingua galega a través dos textos casteláns catrocentistas
Authors: Peres Vigo Alexandre
Published: December 2022

Coincidindo coa consolidación dos Trastámara no trono castelán (1369-1388), a lírica galega enfrontou un período de decadencia a través da chamada escola galego-castelá. Con todo, as referencias directas ao galego, como signo identificativo do reino da Galiza e dos seus habitantes, non deixaron de se acrecentar na literatura castelá catrocentista. Entre elas, sitúanse textos breves da segunda metade do século XV, tales como dialoxismos e sentenzas estereotipadas, en que se reproduce a lingua galega cunha auréola xocosa. A súa aparencia híbrida, así como a propia finalidade burlesca dos textos, permítenos identificar estas aparicións como os primeiros experimentos literarios onde o galego xa é obxecto de parodia e onde se manifesta a existencia de prexuízos lingüísticos antigalegos. Un recurso literario que se consolidará no século XVI e que se popularizará, especialmente no XVII, da man dos vilancicos casteláns de temática galega.

Memória de vinculação simbólica: a hospitalidade homérica em contexto de hostilidade
Authors: Pinto Ana Paula
Published: December 2022

The oldest symbolic repository of the West, embodied in the poetic testimony of Homer, concentrated its expressive vitality trying to clarify the enigma of the origins of the world, of men, and of the mysterious forces that somehow animated them. In that retelling of the beginnings of human experience, the Iliad and the Odyssey – and the extensive constellation of mythical works that derive from both – adopting as fundamental the theme of conflict, privileged as their peculiar framework the Trojan War, which the ancient Greek worldview believed to have been the stratagem chosen, by divine determination, to alleviate the excessive weight of the earth, granted to men by the gods as a provisional dwelling. While they sought in Troy to conquer the lot of fortune that they considered their own, the unfortunate mortals, coerced by superior interference, unleashed with their guilt and misery the crises that would plunge them into misfortune, irrevocably assuming their mortality in the face of the eternal bliss of the gods. In this generalised context of conflict, the dynamics of hospitality – based on the fundamental respect for otherness and the promotion of the most basic human rights – seem to consubstantiate in the sphere of human socialisation a basic ethic of peculiar relevance in the hierarchy of Homeric values. Within this peculiar expressive framework, the symbolic re-reading of the Iliad and the Odyssey, as the first significant testimonies about the Homeric ethics of hospitality, is imposed.
Sêneca e as figurações da hospitalidade
Authors: Felipe Cleber , Silva Frederico
Published: December 2022

This article analyzes the way in which hospitable reception or deliberate hostility were figured in three works by Seneca, a Roman Stoic philosopher of the 1st century AD. It is an important topic, capable of revealing social elements and political orientations expected of a good princeps. We propose the study of a Menippean satire against Emperor Claudius; a philosophical treatise on the virtue of clemency; and a mythological tragedy involving Thyestes and Atreus, descendants of Tantalus. Regardless of the discursive genre, there is an orderly appeal according to the precepts of Stoicism, so that the absence of hospitality can represent the insanity of a tyrant; the impropriety of an apotheosis; a reproach against vice.

Authors: Akopova O. B. , Zharnikova N. V. , Bumbina N. V. , Smirnova A. I. , Kashitsyn А. S. , Usol'tseva N. V.
Published: December 2022

The possibility of using the method of molecular parameters, developed earlier for the prediction of columnar mesomorphism in discotic compounds, was analyzed as applied to star-shaped derivatives of tristriazolotriazine (TTT). Two series of TTT derivatives of different isomeric structures with tangential t-TTT (79 structures) and radial r-TTT (22 structures) positions of phenyl rings were used for analysis. The mesomorphism of these compounds was known from the literature data. Modeling and optimization of 101 structures were carried out and data on the prediction of columnar mesomorphism were obtained using the “CMP ChemCard” software product. The high reliability of the prediction was proved only for t-isomer derivatives of TTT (coincidence with the experiment – 80.4%). For r-isomers, the reliability of the prediction was 52.3%. Based on the prediction results, it is assumed that 29 mesogenic structures of t-TTT series, for which the supramolecular structure of the mesophase has not been previously identified, form mesophase of columnar type.
Electrically Induced Optical and Structural Response of Cholesteric and Nematic Droplets with Conical Boundary Conditions
Authors: Feizer Kristina A. , Krakhalev Mikhail N. , Zyryanov Viktor Ya.
Published: December 2022

The electro-optical response of polymer dispersed liquid crystals films has been studied. The polymer specifies the conical boundary conditions for the cholesteric and nematic LC. It is shown that for the cholesteric-based film with the relative chiral parameters of droplets equal to 0.32, control voltages are less than control voltages for the nematic-based film. The threshold voltages are 2.7 V and 4.9 V, and the saturation voltages are 7.3 V and 9.0 V for the cholesteric-based and nematic-based films, respectively. At saturation voltage, the light transmission of these films is over 80 %. The cholesteric-based film turns into a strong scattering state during 85 ms after switching off voltage, while the nematic-based film turns into initial scattering state during a few days. Significant differences in the electro-optical response of the studied films were explained using an examination of electrically induced transformations of the orientational structures formed in nematic and cholesteric droplets. Polymer dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals with conical boundary conditions are prospectful for the development of devices with low-voltage control.
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: etiopathogenesis, classification and clinical phenotypes
Authors: Anaev E. Kh. , Belevskiy A. S. , Kniajeskaia N. P.
Published: December 2022

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic disease that can be classified as both a hypereosinophilic condition and an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis and is characterized by granulomatous inflammation. The pathogenesis of EGPA is not completely understood. It is likely that this disease is Th2-mediated, and blood and tissue eosinophilia serves as the main diagnostic criterion. The hallmarks and main effectors of organ damage in EGPA include asthma-associated necrotizing vasculitis of small-to-medium vessels and eosinophilic proliferation. Endothelial injury and vascular inflammation in EGPA is caused by ANCA via activation of circulating neutrophils. Two clinical phenotypes of the disease have been described based on the detection of ANCA: ANCA-negative with manifestations of hypereosinophilia (for example, pulmonary infiltrates and cardiomyopathy) and ANCA-positive with clinical signs of vasculitis (for example, glomerulonephritis, purpura, and mononeuritis multiplex). Both phenotypes were confirmed by histological and genomic research. However, these two coexisting mechanisms cannot be separated in clinical practice.

The aim of the article is to present current knowledge of eosinophilic and ANCA-mediated aspects of the pathogenesis, classification and clinical phenotypes of EGPA, and consider prospects for future research.

Conclusion. The development of EGPA is based on eosinophilic dysfunction. This dysfunction means that patients with a genetically determined predisposition to recognize the ANCA antigen and with HLA-DQ (human leukocyte antigen DQ) alleles produce anti-myeloperoxidase autoantibodies and later develop an aberrant autoimmune process. Further comprehensive post-genomic studies are needed to identify the pathogenetic mechanisms and characterize molecular features of EGPA clinical phenotypes. The elaboration of molecular endotypes will lead to the identification of new activity biomarkers and therapeutic targets that can improve the diagnosis of EGPA and the treatment outcomes.
Microflora of the lungs in health and disease, the impact of vaccination
Authors: Zolotov M. O. , Zhestkov A. V. , Lyamin A. V. , Fedotov V. D.
Published: December 2022

The development of new methods for diagnosing infectious diseases, such as polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, and mass spectrometry, has made it possible to expand our understanding of the microflora of the human body in general and of the respiratory tract in particular. The most common microorganisms in lungs include Proteobacteria (Pseudomonas spp., Haemophilus spp.), Bacteriodetes (Prevotella spp., Porphyromonas spp.) and Firmicutes (Veillonella spp., Streptococcus spp.). Pathological processes in the lower respiratory tract change the microbiome. Consequently, Moraxella, Haemophilus, and Acinetobacter microorganisms are found in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The main causative agents of community-acquired pneumonia include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and other enterobacteria. Atypical causative agents of pneumonia include Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila. The wide prevalence of S. pneumoniae in the population confirms the need for vaccines to prevent the development of invasive and noninvasive forms of infection.

The aim of the study was to analyze literature data on the structure of the normal microflora of the lung and to investigate its role in the development of pathological conditions.

Conclusion. A growing body of research confirms the important role of the normal microflora of the respiratory tract. Vaccination against diseases of the bronchopulmonary system may reduce the incidence and mortality of pneumonia. However, the problem of community-acquired pneumonia is still relevant. In particular, the changes in the structure of the pathogens of this disease is of great interest. Vaccination against respiratory pathogens in combination with uncontrolled use of antibiotics during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection could contribute to a change in the structure of both the lower respiratory microflora in general and the pathogens of bacterial community-acquired pneumonia in particular. The detection of a change in the predominant pathogen calls for revising etiotropic treatment and organizing planned prophylaxis if the appropriate vaccines are available.
Position-Based Multipath Route Switching Protocol for Intelligent VANETs Using Wiedemann Car-Following Model
Authors:   Tafila Technical University, Tafila 66110, Jordan, Saleh Ma’en
Published: December 2022

The high dynamicity in VANET topology increases the possibility of frequently broken links and degraded the type of service provided to its customers (i.e., comfort and safety services) that may lead into a catastrophe. In this paper, a Quality-of-Service (QoS)-aware position-based multipath route switching protocol for VANETs-based intelligent transportation systems is proposed. The proposed protocol adopts one of three main route switching criteria: Least Connection Delay (LDD), least number of path-switching (LPS), and the least number of path-switching with the minimum delay (LPSMD). The proposed protocol finds multiple paths between the source and the destination and predicts the future connectivity of each path using the Wiedemann Car-Following Model (Wiedemann and Reiter-99). According to the requested QoS and the route switching criterion adopted, the route switching protocol dynamically switches between the pre-defined multiple paths such that the Network Performance Metrics (NPMs) are guaranteed for the entire VANET. Using different network parameters such as vehicular node density, vehicular node speed, and the time-period for collecting vehicle information, extensive simulation results show that the proposed LDD-based route switching protocol outperforms the other route switching criteria in guaranteeing the studied NPMs (i.e., 1) Packet delivery ratio with a 3.6% enhancement over LPSMD and 8.6% enhancement over LPS; 2) Average end-to-end total packet delay with a 4.2% enhancement over LPSMD and 3.4% enhancement over LPS).

Authors: TURAN Muhittin , HACIOĞLU Mahmut İlter
Published: December 2022

This study developed a finite element model according to higher-order shear deformation beam theory (HSDT) for the buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) beams. Equilibrium equations of the FG beam are obtained from Lagrange’s equations. The beam element to be discussed within the scope of the study has 5 nodes and 16 degrees of freedom (DOF). As a result of the buckling analysis, the critical buckling load of the beam was obtained for various boundary conditions, power-law index (p), and slenderness (L/h). When the critical buckling loads obtained as a result of the analysis were compared with the literature, it was seen that they were quite compatible.

Authors: Gervais Manirakiza , Odongo Alfred Owino , Maima Apollo
Published: December 2022

Background: In many low- and middle-income countries, community services are often provided on a volunteer basis. To make their work more effective in the communities, some of them including Burundi adopted community performance-based financing as form of motivation of community health workers (CHWs). The study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the community performance-based financing and health service delivery by the community health workers.Methods: It was a cross-sectional study using a comparative approach to assess the relationship with the performance-based financing scheme and the community services delivery. We used a stratified random sampling and inferential statistics used chi square and logistic regression.Results: The occupation of CHWs was significantly associated with counselling for early ANC (p=0.002), women attending early ANC and 4 ANC visits (p=0.000). Female were about 3 times likely to refer FP clients for FP methods uptake [p=0.043, CI= (1.030; 7.462), OR=2.773]. Farmers were 11 times as likely to perform this task as CHWs with other functions [p=0.000, CI= (3.890; 32.733), OR=11.284]. The CHWs who received 9 equipment and above [p=0.037, CI= (1.101)].Conclusions: The community performance-based financing has a significant relationship with the community health workers service delivery and should be enhanced by trainings, formative supervision, and provision of equipment. Occupation was identified as to predict this association. But further studies be conducted to establish other factors that complement the community performance-based financing in community services delivery.

Authors: Mwanja Melody Mudenda , Kazonga Eustarckio
Published: December 2022

Background: Patient satisfaction in antenatal care (ANC) service delivery comes from good patient outcomes and the good quality of care that a patient receives. The objective of this study was to determine factors influencing the quality of ANC services in health facilities in Lusaka District in Zambia.Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design was used. The sample size was drawn from 20 public and private. From these institutions, a random sample of 385 participants (expectant mothers) was selected. Furthermore, 40 care-givers were selected as key informants. The questionnaires and interviews were employed to collect data. The data was analysed by performing factor analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 16.0.Results: There was a strong positive correlation between the variables: quality of ANC service and patient satisfaction, the relationship was not very strong as most of the dimensions of ANC were influencing satisfaction slightly above 60%. The empathy dimension was regarded to be the major predictor as it was rated highly in influencing for satisfaction with a Cronbach’s alpha score of above 0.8. However, the cost of service showed a strong negative correlation in relation to satisfaction.Conclusions: The study concludes that ANC services provision has an influence on the expectant mothers’ satisfaction. Different dimensions of antenatal care services influence satisfaction differently and a combination of several dimensions posts increased satisfaction.

Published: December 2022

Background: An impaired nutritional status in preschool children significantly Impacts their overall childhood development. Early detection of undernutrition at an early age is crucial for early intervention. Objectives of the study were to conduct nutritional status assessments of preschool children, to detect the overall prevalence and various patterns of undernutrition in these children by applying a composite index of anthropometric failure (CIAF) indicator.Methods: A community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2019 to March 2020. The sample size of 8542 was computed by formula n=4pq/L2, by randomly selecting 132 Anganwadi. Nutritional status assessment of the children was done by anthropometrics and clinical examinations. Conventional indices (underweight, stunting, and wasting) and CIAF classification were used to assess. The prevalence of undernutrition. Statistical analysis was done by Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 27 and statistical tests were applied.Results: 50.6% of children were detected for “anthropometric failure” by the CIAF method. The conventional indices showed the prevalence of underweight at 32.9%, stunting at 35.7%, and wasting at 16.4%.  The 13 to 25-month age group was more significantly affected (57%) than its counterparts for undernutrition. Statistically, no significant difference was found between genders across all age groups for undernutrition (χ2=9.8, χtab=11.08). Chronic undernutrition seemed highly prevalent than acute one in preschool children.Conclusions: A more comprehensive policy program is needed to identify and cover single as well as multiple anthropometrical failure children. Special attention is needed towards the 13 to 25 months old children.

All individuals have a fundamental human right to nutrition. However, it is well known that undernourishment is a common and major health issue among elderly across the globe. Nutritional documentation helps to guarantee correct nutritional care and therapy. Research on medical and nursing home staff's documentation of nutritional care in hospitals and between medical facilities and nursing homes is scarce. The evidence that is presently offered points to unsatisfactory documenting practices. The nursing workforce lacks the necessary skills to appropriately account for the relationship between patients' medical conditions and their nutritional status, as well as the substantial risk of heightened patient suffering brought on by undernutrition. Unsystematic and unorganized recording processes may contribute to the lack of nutritional information document management and sharing. Another challenge is brought on by the inadequate proper nutrition information transfer when elderly patients are transferring between hospitals and nursing facilities. Clarifying roles in nutrition therapy and treatment is part of interprofessional responsibility. The haziness and ambiguity around accountability may be one factor contributing to the lack of attention given to nutritional documentation. Reassessment of the prevailing systems and development an alternate solution way of tracking food consumption among medical and nursing home residents given the present documentation issues, elevated staff turnover rate, and the inability of training and managing interventions to generate long-term behavioral modifications among nursing home staff may aid in reducing the level of undernutrition and lack of nutrition-related documentation among geriatric individuals.

Open ankle fractures are uncommon (3-6%) among all ankle fractures. Emerging trends show that the incidence of low-energy open ankle fractures is prevalent in older women. The mechanism of open fracture management continues to pose difficulties for orthopaedic surgeons. A simple fall is responsible for just under half of all fractures caused by motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Despite technological advancements and surgical methods, infectious and non-infectious rates remain problematic. The mainstay of care is to combine antibiotic therapy with thorough irrigation and debridement. To prevent additional soft tissue and vascular damage, these fractures must be stabilized immediately, preferably with an external fixator. When the residual infection has cleared and the soft tissue envelope is adequate, do a definitive open reduction and internal fixation, adapting the procedure to the patient and type of fracture. Functional outcomes could be enhanced by taking safeguards against preventable comorbidities to reduce postoperative complications.
DIŞ POLİTİKA KRİZLERİNDE İSTİHBARATIN ROLÜ: SANCAK KRİZİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: GEZER Bayali , AKSU Fuat
Published: December 2022

Dış politika krizleri ile kararlaştırma arasında doğrudan bir ilişki vardır. Kararlaştırma sürecinde bilgiye erişim kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bilgi çeşitli yöntemlerle sağlanabiliyor olsa da istihbarat kaynaklarından elde edilmesi sıkça rastlanan bir durumdur. Bu açıdan krizin niteliğine bağlı olarak kriz yönetimiyle istihbarat arasında güçlü bir bağ vardır. Aslında istihbaratın tek fonksiyonu bilgi elde etmek yada üretmek değildir. Bilgiyi hasmın erişiminden korumak (İKK), deforme-empoze etmek (propaganda), korku ile birlikte kullanarak hedef kitleyi ikna etmek (psikolojik harp) ve gizli bir elle çatışma/çekişme ortamını dost unsurların lehine şekillendirecek eylemler icra etmek (örtülü faaliyetler) istihbarat örgütleri marifetiyle yürütülen faaliyetlerdir. Bu açıdan istihbarat dış politika krizlerinde sanılandan daha etkin bir aktör olarak karşımıza çıkar. İstihbarat fonksiyonlarının örnek bir kriz üzerinden incelenmesi, kriz ve istihbarat arasındaki ilişkiyi somutlaştırmak açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada istihbarat fonksiyonlarının Sancak Krizi’nde oynadığı rol incelenerek istihbaratın kriz yönetimine katkısı ortaya konulacaktır.

Direct injection on the Wankel engines has been practiced since the 1970’s. By applying direct injection in the Wankel engine, the specific fuel consumption and HC emissions, which are seen as disadvantages for this engine, might be reduced and the mixture formation is improved. In order to obtain a better mixture formation, the fuel injector must be located in a proper place and a correct direction. In addition, the most suitable injector for the engine structure should be selected. In this study, direct injection was applied for the RENESIS 13B Wankel engine and injector selection for the engine and the location of the injector on the housing were examined. In addition, the diameter of orifice and flow rate characteristics of the injector were investigated. According to the results, two types of injectors were selected. These injectors were called as low speed and high speed. An injector with a narrow nozzle angle (<30°) was used to deliver the fuel to the leading of the chamber, and the fuel injected after the intake ports closed. The orifice diameters of low-speed and high- speed injectors were measured 0.33 and 0.45 mm, respectively. In addition, both injectors have low speed rates when injection duration was below 2 ms. This flow rate was increased by providing high voltage.

The Art Collection of the Oriental Countries of the Mikhail V. Nesterov Bashkir State Art Museum (History of the Collection, Research Issues, Discoveries)
Authors: Kapina Tatyana
Published: December 2022

The art collection of the Oriental countries is one of the unique in the Mikhail V. Nesterov Bashkir State Art Museum. It includes artifacts of such countries as China, Japan, Mauritanian Spain, Iran and Turkey. The history of the Bashkir State Art Museum began with the collection of Russian Art of the 19th and early 20th centuries gifted by Mikhail V. Nesterov. Thanks to active object donations from various sources in the 1920s and 1930s, the structure of the Nesterov museum collection became much broader than just the art of Russia. It is precisely in those years that the collection of Oriental art began to form. Despite the lack of its focus, art pieces that came from various sources are of great interest and demonstrate the artistic culture of different Eastern countries.
Russian Artists at the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission in Beijing in the 19th Century: Some Research Concerns
Authors: Kuryanova Anastasia M.
Published: December 2022

In 1830, a Russian painter named Anton M. Legashov (1798–1865) went to Beijing as part of the Russian Orthodox Ecclesiastical Mission becoming the first professional Russian artist in China. In total, four Russian painters visited China being included in the mission: A. M. Legashov, K. I. Korsalin, I. I. Chmutov, and L. S. Igorev. In Beijing, the artists were supposed to paint portraits commissioned by the Chinese and thereby establish useful contacts with influential Chinese officials; in fact, the painters acted as diplomatic agents. At the same time, they had to fulfill the task of the Imperial Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg, which instructed them to collect visual evidence about the life, customs and views of the distant eastern country. Upon arrival in China, Russian painters were introduced to a unique artistic scene of the late Qing Dynasty, where Chinese, European and Occidental art interacted. Thanks to that, the work of Russian artists acquired a very distinctive look. However, nowadays the heritage of these painters is practically not studied due to several issues connected with a small number of their surviving works, questionable attribution, unclear provenance, insufficient study of neighboring artistic phenomena, such as Chinese export art or the art of the followers of Giuseppe Castiglione and other Jesuit artists at the Chinese imperial court. The article is thus devoted to the analysis of the difficulties regarding the study of the work of Russian artists at the Russian Orthodox mission in Beijing. The identification and analysis of these research concerns will allow to further develop methodology for studying the work of these painters, whose unique oeuvre remains a noticeable gap in Russian art history, while the history of the Russian Ecclesiastical mission itself or the art of Western missionaries in China have been deeply analyzed by both Russian and foreign scholars.
The Medieval Polish Doctrine of the Law of Nations: Ius Gentium
Authors: Wielgus Stanisław
Published: December 2022

This is a reprint of chapters 4–5 of The Medieval Polish Doctrine of the Laws of Nations: Ius Gentium by Stanisław Wielgus (Lublin: Redakcja Wydawnictw Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 1998), 55–101. The original chapter and section numbering has been retained, but footnote numbers have been adapted. Reprinted with the Author’s permission.

In attempting to summarize in a few sentences the achievements of the medieval scholars of the Polish school of ius gentium, we must emphasize that by employing the inherited legal and philosophico-theological tradition and intellectual achievements of the University of Kraków, coupling it with their own genius, they manager to create a coherent and universal system of international law. It was a system so modern, wise, tolerant and universal that it was able to be applied not only in solving the painful problem stemming from the lengthy conflict between Poland and the Teutonic Knights but was also used in resolving global problems of the contemporary Christian’s world conflict with the non-Christian one. That legal system, based upon the eternal principles of Divine and natural law, taking account of the Gospel Law of Love and inseparably connecting law with morality and justice with truth, remains valid even today.
Fausto Sozzini's Explicatio Primae Partis Primi Capitis Euangelii Ioannis and Its Erasmian Exegesis
Authors: Domański Juliusz
Published: December 2022

This is an English translation of Juliusz Domański’s “Fausta Socyna Explicatio primae partis primi capitis Euangelii Ioannis i egzegeza erazmiańska,” in his "Erasmiana minora. Studia i szkice o pisarstwie filozoficznym i religijnym Erazma z Rotterdamu" (Warsaw: Instytut Tomistyczny, Instytut Filologii Klasycznej UW, 2017), 337–63. Translated with the Author’s permission.

The paper compares the method of Biblical interpretation used by Erasmus of Rotterdam with the method of Socinus, raising the question of the extent to which the method outlined by Socinus in his Explicatio primae partis primi capitis Euangelii Joannis can be seen as continuous and and consonant with the method of Erasmus, and to what extent it should be seen as its rejection or modification. In addition, the essay outlines similarities and differences, with respect to both method and content, between Erasmus' Adnotationes and Socinus’ Explicatio.
