Current status of the programs for detection of hearing loss in children younger than six months in Cali
Authors: González Laura , Fernández de Soto Julia María , Torres Martha Inés
Published: December 2019

Background: Data is scarce in Colombia when dealing with the current circumstances of programs for detecting hearing loss in children younger than six months and, therefore, statistical data is limited on congenital or earlyacquired deafness. Studies have been conducted in the country on detection and prevention of hearing problems in the healthcare institutions in Antioquia, Quindío, Cauca, Valle, and Risaralda. All these studies were carried out between 1993 and 1995 and included children older than one year of age, which shows evidence of the lack of knowledge about the importance of early detection in the hearing-communicative health of children. Objective: To identify the current procedures and protocols to detect hearing loss in children younger than six months in Cali through a descriptive research in different healthcare institutions of the city. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out with a population of 722 private, public and/or mixed Health Service Providing Institutions from the city of Cali, registered in the database of the Department of Health of Valle del Cauca, Colombia in February 2007. A list was filled out to determine which of these institutions had services like delivery room and/or growth-development programs and/or audiology services and it was found that these aspects were met in 151 institutions that constituted the research sample. Thereafter, a survey was applied in these institutions to identify the procedures utilized for hearing loss detection, the health professionals that carry this out, and the follow up and the speech-language treatment performed to the children detected. Results: 95% of the healthcare institutions surveyed (144 institutions) do not perform procedures to detect hearing loss in children younger than six months. Only six of the private-sector institutions in Cali performed such procedures. The procedures used by these six institutions are all performed with equipment and protocols for objective tests. Conclusions: No public entity in the city of Cali has programs for early detection of hearing loss. It is necessary to implement strategies to train institutions, and associations of government institutions involved in healthcare, so that they can apply programs of universal hearing screening for neonates, while they disseminate such programs at regional and national levels.
Normal Values of the Maximal Respiratory Pressures in Healthy People Older than 20 Years Old in the City of Manizales – Colombia
Authors: Gil Obando Lida Maritza , López López Alexandra , Avila Carmen Liliana
Published: December 2019

Background: The Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) are global measures of the maximal strength of the respiratory muscles.
Objectives :To determine the values of MIP and MEP in healthy subjects aged 20 years old from the urban area of Maniza­les, Colombia and to correlate them with sociodemographic and anthropometric variables.
Methods: This is an observational descriptive study. The population of the study was 203.965 healthy people from Ma­nizales, a Colombian city located at 2150 meters above sea level. The sample size was 308 subjects, selected using simple random sampling. The maximal respiratory pressures were determined in the sample chosen and were then considered according to the variables of age, gender, size, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and BMI classification. Finally a predictive model was created.
Results: The average MIP value among the subjects of the study was 75±27cmH20 and the MEP value was 96.4±36cmH20. Both averages were higher in men than in women. Predictive equations were established for the normal values of MIP and MEP in healthy subjects; the best model for MIP was the resultant one among age, gender and BMI classification and for the MEP among gender, weight and height.
Conclusion: Maximal respiratory pressure values were lower among the population of Manizales than those found in in­ternational studies. Gender and anthropometric characteristics (weight, height and BMI classification) are the explanatory variables that better support the average values of MIP and MEP in the predictive models proposed.

Authors: Restrepo de Rovetto Consuelo , Mora Julián Andrés , Cardona Sergio Alexandre , Marmolejo Andrés Felipe , Paz Juan Fernando , De Castaño Iris
Published: December 2019

Objective: to know the epidemiology of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in the pediatric population at Hospital Universitario del Valle (HUV), a tertiary University Hospital in Cali, Colombia.
Methods: We obtained a series of cases through daily surveillance for a seven-month period (June 1 to December 31, 2009) in patients older than 30 days and under 18 years at HUV. We excluded patients with previous diagnosis of chronic renal failure. The new pRIFLE scale was used to define AKI.
Results: 27 patients were detected, with mean age of 36 months. Incidence of AKI was 0.38% from pediatric admissions and 6.2% from the pediatric intensive care unit (pICU) admissions. The pRIFLE scale at study entrance was: Risk: 2 patients, Injury: 8, Failure: 17. Etiology of AKI was: pre-renal in 89%, primary renal disease in 3.7%, and post-renal in 7.4%. There was an association of AKI with sepsis in 66.7% and 48.2% progressed to septic shock. Six patients required renal replacement therapy, all required peritoneal dialysis. The AKI was multi-factorial in 59.3% and associated with systemic multi-organ failure in 59.3%. At study entry, 63% patients were in pICU. The average hospital stay was 21.3 ± 9.2 days. Six children died, 16 resolved AKI, and nine were left with renal sequelae.
Conclusions: We recommended pRIFLE scale for early diagnosis of AKI in all pediatric services. Education in pRIFLE scale, prevention of AKI, and early management of sepsis and hypovolemia is recommended.

Authors: Vélez-Marín Miryam , Uribe Velásquez Luis Fernando
Published: December 2019

Objective: Determine the activity of cortisol in rats treated with exogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and a resveratrol supplement.Methods: Forty-eight adult male rats and 16 adult female rats (Rattus norvegicus) three months old with a body weight of 200 to 250 g and 300 to 350 g for both male and female were used and kept in controlled environmental conditions, temperature of 20±2° C and light-dark cycles of 14 and 10 hours. They were fed with balanced food and had free access to water. The rats were randomly divided into four groups: group 1, was treated with 5 μg/kg of ACTH i.p. every twelve hours; group 2, received the same treatment with ACTH plus a grape extract supplementation of 40 mg/kg; group 3, only received grape extract and group 4,served as control and only received saline solution (0.9%) i.p. The experimental was designed as a 2×2 factorial with two ACTH levels and two extract grape levels.Results: Significant differences were not found in cortisol concentrations for day, gender or treatment effects (0.75 μg/dL ± 0.11; p <0.001).Conclusion: Results suggest that chronic stress and consume of resveratrol did not produce any effect in the activity of plasmatic cortisol, in stressed and unstressed rats stressed. In the same way, possibly, dose of ACTH did not produce stimulation of the suprarenal gland for these animals.

Authors: Alvear Ciro Cesar , Barboza Miriam , Viola Maricela , Moneriz Carlos , Araque Luz Marina
Published: December 2019

Introduction: The hemoglobinopathies are a heterogeneous group of congenital anemias from Africa, Asia and the Medi­terranean. Due to the migration of this population have spread worldwide, especially in Latin America and the Caribbean region, which Cartagena de Indias is included, with a large proportion of people of African descent. The lack of routine programs that include an appropriate methodology for precise identification of those affected and carriers, it impossible to know the real behavior of this disease in our country and an early and appropriate to the patients before the disease mani­fests itself and produces its serious consequences.
Objective: To estimate the incidence and describe the epidemiological profile of hemoglobinopathies in newborns Rafael Calvo Maternity Clinic of Cartagena, in the period from January to June 2010.
Methods: Prospective descriptive study of a population of 1729 newborns. Samples were collected cord blood on filter paper. Isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (IEF )was used to separate the haemoglobins.
Results: 94.4% (1633samples) were normal (hemoglobinFA), 4.5% (78samples) were heterozygous for haemoglobin S (HbFAS), 1% (17samples) were heterozygous for haemoglobin C (hemoglobinFAC) and 0.1% (1 sample) was double hete­rozygous SC (hemoglobinFSC).
Conclusion: Due to the high incidence of hemoglobinopathies found in this pilot study highlights the importance and necessity of establishing an obligatory neonatal screening in the city of Cartagena, in order to make a timely diagnosis and monitoring of affected and carrier.

Authors: Gonzalez Lina , Vega Jorge , Ramirez Jose-Luis , Bedoya Gabriel , Carmona-Fonseca Jaime , Maestre Amanda
Published: December 2019

Background: The negative homozygous condition for the Duffy blood group (Fy-/Fy-) confers natural resistance to Plasmo­dium vivax infection. In this direction, studies carried out in Colombia are scarce
Objective: To describe the relationship between Duffy genotypes in three ethnic communities in La Italia (Chocó) and malaria infection.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study in symptomatic and asymptomatic malaria subjects. Sample size : Afro American, 73; Amerindian (Emberá), 74 and Mestizo, 171. Presence of Plasmodium infection was assessed by thick smear and the status of the Duffy gene by PCR and RFLP in order to identify the substitutions T-46C y A131G which origin the genotypes T/T, T/C , C/C y G/G, G/A, A/A.
Results: Infection by Plasmodium was detected in 17% with 62% due to P. falciparum and 27% to P. vivax. Duffy genotypes were significantly associated to ethnicity (p= 0,003). Individuals with the C/C, A/A diplotype were exclusively infected by P. falciparum, whereas other diplotypes were infected with either species. In the Amerindian and Mestizo populations, the frequency of the T-46 allele was 0,90-1,00, among Afrocolombians this was 0,50, equal to the C allele and with absence of heterozygous At locus 131, the highest frequency of the G allele was 0,30 in Amerindians and the A allele was 0,69 in Afro­colombians.
Conclusions: In the Amerindian and mestizo populations studied, a predominance of the allele T-46 (FY+) was observed, but P. vivax was not the most common. Infection by P. vivax was out ruled in all FY- individuals.

Objective: This study sought to correlate the anthropometric and functional variables, and exercise habits in a group of el­derly adults who regularly attend exercise programs.
Method: participation of 217 subjects between 60 and 85 years of age, from 13 regions of Colombia. Anthropometric and functional assessment was conducted as a questionnaire on exercise habits.
Results: negative correlations were shown between exercise habits and body fat and positive correlations between hand strength and VO2 max. (r = 0.4), age was negatively associated to functional variables.
Conclusions: The functional capacity is influenced by increased age and body fat. With higher frequencies of physical exer­cise, VO2 max. and strength improved, but less body fat was observed.
Cancer incidence and mortality in the Bucaramanga metropolitan area, 2003-2007
Authors: Uribe Claudia Janeth , Osma Sonia , Herrera Victor
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Cancer is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Population-based cancer registries (PB­CRs) make possible to estimate the burden of this condition. Objetive: To estimate cancer incidence and mortality rates in the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area (BMA) during 2003-2007. Methods: Incident cases of invasive cancer diagnosed during 2003-2007 were identified from the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Area PBCR (BMA-PBCR). Population counts and mortality were obtained from the Colombian National Administrative De­partment of Statistics (NADS). We estimated total and cancer-specific crude incidence and mortality rates by age group and sex, as well as age-standardized (Segi’s world population) incidence (ASIR[W]) and mortality (ASMR[W]) rates. Statistical analyses were conducted using CanReg4 and Stata/IC 10.1. Results: We identified 8,225 new cases of cancer excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (54.3% among women). Of all cases, 6,943 (84.4%) were verified by microscopy and 669 (8.1%) were detected only by death certificate. ASIR(W) for all invasive cancers was 162.8 per 100,000 women and 177.6 per 100,000 men. Breast, cervix, colorectal, stomach and thyroid were the most common types of cancer in women. In men, the corresponding malignancies were prostate, stomach, colorectal, lung and lymphoma. ASMR(W) was 84.5 per 100,000 person-years in women and 106.2 per 100,000 person-years in men. Breast and stomach cancer ranked first as causes of death in those groups, respectively. Conclusion: Overall, mortality rates in our region are higher than national estimates possibly due to limited effectiveness of secondary prevention strategies. Our work emphasizes the importance of maintaining high-quality, nationwide PBCRs.

Authors: Arias-Ortiz Nelson Enrique , López-Guarnizo Guillermo Antonio , Arboleda-Ruiz Walter Antonio
Published: December 2019

Objective: To describe cancer incidence and mortality in Manizales during the 2003-2007 period from popu­lation-based information.
Methods: The information was obtained from the Manizales Cancer Registry and DANE. We analyzed new cases and cancer deaths of individuals residing in Manizales from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2007. Cases reported correspond to primary invasive malignant tumors, in all locations, except basal cell carcinoma of the skin. We checked the internal consistency of the data and applied quality indicators suggested by the IARC. The population at risk was obtained from population projections (1985 -– 2020, DANE). Specific rates were estimated by gender and age (18 quinquennial groups), and standardized to the world population directly referenced.
Results: There were 3.416 new cases and 1.895 deaths from cancer. The age- standardized incidence rate (ASR) per 100,000 people-years for all primary locations (except skin) was 162.4 in women and 166.2 in men. Cancer accounted for 19.8% of mortality in Manizales with ASR per 100,000 people-years of 92.1 in men and 83.6 in women.
Conclusions: The risk of developing cancer or dying from cancer in Manizales is intermediate and similar to national estimates. The information generated by the PCR-M meets international quality standards, so it is necessary to ensure sustainability and improvement.
The Cali Cancer Registry An example for Latin America
Authors: Correa Pelayo
Published: December 2019

The Cali Cancer Registry was started 50 years ago as a research program of the Department of Pathology of Universidad del Va­lle. It is presently continuing its strong silent but meaningful work, internationally recognized as the oldest most trustworthy and reliable source of data on descriptive epidemiology in Latin Ame­rica. This is evidenced by the publication, of its results in “Cancer Incidence in Five Continents”, the most prestigious source of data on cancer incidence, since 1968 until the present time. Some population based cancer registries have started but had a prema­ture death in Latin America. Some had been too ambitious in co­vering too large populations or whole countries. Others have been unable to maintain its modest but much needed economic sup­port, reflecting the shortsightedness of national and international entities that provided the initial but not the continued funding. A few had followed the Cali Registry experience and have been able to survive economic difficulties experienced recently by some Latin American countries. Hopefully their initial success can be sustained and allow them to maintain is pioneering work. Such is the case of the Cancer Registry of Quito, operating very efficiently for 25 years, and the recently created Colombian Registries in Pas­to, Manizales and Bucaramanga. The principal and most reliable sources of data are the histopatho­logy reports. A first attempt to analyze data in a defined population was done in Medellin, when the Pathology Department of Univer­sidad de Antioquia, founded and directed by Alfredo Correa He­nao, represented the only source of histopathology diagnoses in the department of Antioquia. Such collection of data covered the years of 1944 to 1951 and was since the bases for publications in national and international journals. Later, in Cali, the histopatho­logy diagnoses of cancer made in the pathology departments of the country were collected and presented the Third Congress of the Latin American Society of Pathology in Medellin in 1961.1,2 Dr. Harold Stewart, head of the Department of pathology of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, was a special guest of the Society at the Congress. Dr. Stewart showed special interest in the data and brought them to William Haenszel, head of the Biometry Branch of the Institute. This was the beginning of a lasting and fructiferous association of Haenszel with the Cali Registry recognized by Universidad del Valle, which gave him the title of Doctor Honoris Causa.
Epidemiology of cervical cancer in Colombia
Authors: Muñoz Nubia , Bravo Luis Eduardo
Published: December 2019

Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women, and the first or second most common in developing countries. Cervical cancer remains in Colombia the first cause of cancer mortality and the se­cond cause of cancer incidence among women, despite the existence of screening programs during the last 3 decades. Bucaramanga, Manizales and Cali reported rates around 20 per 100,000 and Pasto 27 per 100,000. The Cali cancer registry has reported a progressive decrease in the age standardized incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer over the past 40 years. Reasons for the decline in incidence and mortality of cervical cancer are multiple and probably include: improvement in socio-economic conditions, decrease in parity rates and some effect of screening programs. Human papilloma Virus is the main cause of cervical cancer, HPV natural history studies have now revealed that HPVs are the commonest of the sexually transmitted infections in most populations. Most HPV expo­sures result in spontaneous clearance without clinical manifestations and only a small fraction of the infected persons, known as chronic or persistent carriers, will retain the virus and progress to precancerous and cancer. HPV 16 and 18 account for 70% of cervical cancer and the 8 most common types. (HPV 16, 18, 45, 33, 31, 52, 58 and 35) account for about 90% of cervical cancer. Case-control studies also allowed the identification of the following cofactors that acting together with HPV increase the risk of progression from HPV persistent infection to cervical cancer: tobacco, high parity, long term use of oral contraceptives and past infections with herpes simplex type 2 and Chlamydia trachomatis. The demonstration that infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is not only the main cause but also a necessary cause of cervical cancer has led to great advances in the prevention of this disease on two fronts: (i) Primary prevention by the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines; and (ii) secondary prevention by increasing the accuracy of cervical cancer screening.

Published: December 2019

Objective: To evaluate the hematological, cytogenetic, and molecular responses in Colombian patients with CML chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with imatinib.

Methods: Two groups of patients, one with the novo diagnostic and another in state of complete cytogenetic remission were followed for 12 months with quantitative PCR evaluations every three months and with chromosomal analysis every 6 months.

Results: The group with the novo diagnosis showed 50% of complete cytogenetic remission at 12 months while the other 50% were considered to have primary resistance. Respect the molecular analysis, 10.5% of the patients reached undetectable BCR-ABL transcripts at 12 months. In the complete cytogenetic remission group, 10.6% lost the state of complete cytogene­tic remission at 12 months, 50% reached undetectable BCR-ABL transcripts but 10% showed levels higher than 10%, which in our standardization was equal to no molecular response.

Conclusions: Despite having received the conventional dosages of 400 mg/day of imatinib, the cytogenetic and molecular responses obtained in our group of Colombian patients with CML, were lower than those in other international studies.
Is the oil industry able to support a world that consumes 105 million barrels of oil per day in 2025?
Authors: Hacquard Pierre , Simoën Marine , Hache Emmanuel
Published: December 2019

This paper investigates the significant risk of a supply crunch in the oil market by 2025 and beyond, given current pace of investment and growth of world demand. We focus particularly on today’s upstream sector and the challenges it faces in meeting the ever-increasing demand for oil. We then study different production scenarios for U.S. unconventional oil potential and draw conclusions on its potential capability to offset the weakening context of conventional oil supply (declining production, declining discoveries, insufficient investment, persistent geopolitical risks and environmental pressures). We conclude that with growing oil demand, the probability of an oil crunch by 2025 is far from null.
Poetics of Emotive Prose: In Search of Hidden Senses
Authors: Beliaevskaya E. G.
Published: December 2019

It is well known that literary works of high artistic value tend to leave their readers with a whole range of impressions which cannot be attributes to the plot or figures of speech. Sources of such emotive and intellectual impact are often difficult to account for if one is guided only by the adopted mode of discourse analysis. Proceeding from R. Jacobson’s conception of poetics of emotive prose as the unity of sense and sound the paper sets out to show that frame semantics might prove to be instrumental in the study of linguistic mechanisms producing additional, and, possibly, otherwise obscure, senses in discourse. The investigation presented concentrates on cognitive structures representing knowledge of sound as part of the knowledge of the world. Two types of frames are considered. First, there are frames standing for fragments of reality where sound constitutes the periphery of the frame structure representing information accompanying an event. Such frames underlie the ‘story’ forming the plot of a text of fiction. The significance of sound in this case lies in the fact that the mention of sound alone helps to restore the rest of the frame in the reader’s mind thus evoking an all round picture of what is described. Besides, sound effects contribute to imagery creating mood and atmosphere. Second, the study of hidden sound frames might give an insight into “the way the author’s voice sounds” that is into the author’s manner of telling a tale. The frames of the second type refer to metadiscourse, i.e. the part of discourse organizing the presentation of the ‘story’ to the reader. Sound effects of the second type are imitative in nature and depend on the language the text is written in. In English one of the most common patterns is a regular succession of long and short vowels in an utterance. The pattern is illustrated by examples taken from ‘Cat in the Rain’ by E. Hemingway where a patterned alternation of monosyllabic words with short and long vowels or diphthongs is used to create the impression of the sound of raindrops rattling on the ground. In the Russian language text of emotive prose metadiscursive sound effects stem mainly from the use of syllabic structures. The investigation revealed that ascending arrangement of words consisting of two, three, four, and five syllables as well as corresponding descending arrangement is frequently used in M. Bulgakov’s story of Pontius Pilate in “Master and Margaret”, thus distinguishing it from the rest of the text. This rhythmic device is quite common in Russian poetry, and one might conclude that it is one of the elements performing the poetic function in emotive prose. The paper points at the study of quantitative frames in emotive prose as a perspective of further research since quantitative information (numerals) are part of numerous frames representing knowledge of time, action, and events of the world.
Literary Speech as a Medium of Contact
Authors: Venediktova T. D.
Published: December 2019

An intersubjective event, a text comprises the medium of contact between subjects of literary discourse. Within texts the conventionality of speech serves to enable us to express ourselves, while at the same time it-owing to conventionality itself-makes shared individual expe rience at least difficult, if not impossible, a condition of which modern literary culture is painfully aware. Epitomizing this paradox of the uniquely personal and the formulaic/ impersonal is the literary discourse of love. In post-Romantic literary culture this paradox reveals itself in the shift of authors’ and readers’ attention from accepted rhetorical forms to those “transitive parts” of thought and speech that (according to William James) pass largely unrecognized in everyday language practice. Precisely these “transitive parts” activate the fleeting “feelings of relation” (as opposed to conventional meanings) that connote extended and multiple relationships “between the larger objects of our thought.” We argue that this authorreader pact-evinced, variously, by Flaubert’s search for “absolute style” and Barthes’ exploration of the aesthetic potential of lovers’ discourse-heightens attention to the materiality of language and to the mimetic, collaborative, performative aspects of literary communication. “The zealous practice of a perfect reception” invokes enhanced pleasure and the empathic effect that (post)modern readers learn to derive from language play by locating the subtle subjectivity of expression in the seemingly style-less banality of everyday speech. In this article this textual strategy of literary modernism is analyzed by way of selfreflexive love speech in the prose of Gustav Flaubert and the poetry of William Carlos Williams.
Is Metaphor Always Just a “Condensed Plot”?
Authors: Krasnykh V. V.
Published: December 2019

The article contains the results of the analysis of metaphors architectonics in fiction on the example of the story “Systema sobak” (‘Dogs System’) by V. Tokareva. The article begins with a brief presentation of the modern scientific paradigm which is defined as the post-non-classical one (according to V. S. Styopin) and as the stage of neopospositivism. The latter is characterized by holistic and integrative character. The article also mentions different approaches to the study of metaphor (tropic, interactive and cognitive) and specifically specifies the study of metaphor in connection with the artistic text. The aim of the analysis of Tokareva’s text was to identify “hidden” metaphors. The following research methods were used: textological, contextual, conceptual and combinatorial. The article on the specific material proves the need for a comprehensive approach of integrative nature and demonstrates the possibility of its application. The analysis made it possible to consider the surface metaphor reflected in the story title (LOVE is the “host – dog” relationship) and analyze its deployment in the text. It also allowed to reveal “hidden” metaphors: LOVE is height, LOVE is chemistry, LOVE is water, LOVE is light, LOVE is multicolor, brightness, beauty. The given metaphors implicitly presented in the text form the “general” metaphor of a “higher” level: LOVE is ELEMENT OF NATURE, NOT SUBJECT TO MAN. In the end, it is concluded that in the sphere of fiction metaphor is not only a “condensed plot”. It is also something that is not verbalized in the text but is there beyond the text being “dissolved” in the narration. It means that metaphor can also be considered as a “unfolded plot”, which is not always and not necessarily having a specific verbal embodiment in a certain text in the form of a (fixed) expression.
Linguistic and Cognitive Properties of the Process of Perspectivization in Contemporary Lyrics (On the Example of “Bohemian Rhapsody”)
Authors: Petrova N. Yu.
Published: December 2019

The present paper is a continuation of the study of linguistic and cognitive properties of perspectivization treated as an inseparable part of the process of constructing of meaning in text and discourse. The author shows typological proximity of such terms as “perspectivization”, “image of the author” and “author’s intentionality”. The lyrics of the cult Bohemian Rhapsody serves an example of the effectiveness of the theory of pespectivization in tackling the problems of text polyphony and linguistic ambiguity.
Media-Discourse Poetics: Linguocognitive Grounds for Pun and Wordplay Demarcation (Based on the Material of English Language Press)
Authors: Shmelyova E. S.
Published: December 2019

Pun and wordplay are to be regarded as some of the most striking linguistic means of creating expressiveness and forming media discourse poetics. However, despite the significant amount of previous research into these devices, many aspects of their formation and functioning still remain unclear. First and foremost, it concerns the definition of pun and wordplay, and their respective demarcation. This article, in addition to the widespread formal (structural) demarcation criterion, considers the linguo-cognitive grounds for such a division. The study was conducted on the material of English-language media headlines based on the frame analysis method. The research has identified three frame models of pun and wordplay formation: two frames overlapping on the basis of (a) common terminal(s) (M1), one frame expanding due to the emergence of a new frame focus (M2), and conceptual integration of two frames (M3). Based on the analysis of examples of these models actualized in Englishlanguage mass media headlines, it has been concluded that the frequency of a particular form of realization of a stylistic device based on the corresponding structural and frame (linguo-cognitive) model may indicate whether it is an instance of the pun or wordplay.
Black Sun and Ring-Fenced Space: Images of Сaptivity in the Art of Sergey Parajanov and Kazuki Yasuo
Authors: Guchinova E.-B. M.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the art of two outstanding artists – Sergey Paradzhanov (USSR) and Kazuki Yasuo (Japan). Sregey Paradjanov was convicted and spent five years in camps, Yasuo Kazuki found himself in a Soviet camp for prisoners of war. The humiliating experience of the imprisonment of artists was reflected in their works, which did not cease behind barbed wire. But both artists are united by the theme of human freedom in unfree conditions, where the boundaries of freedom can be outlined by the boundaries of a totalitarian state, and by military order at the front, and by barbed wire of a camp fence.Paradzhanov and his camp creativity and outlined – fenced open space. He and Kazuki used bricolage techniques, and the Japanese artist himself composed the composition of colors, since the factory colors do not convey the alien black sun. At the same time, their presence in fundamentally different camps (camps and GUPVI camps) was reflected in the portraits of the prisoners: Parajanov’s campers had no need to survive, and Parajanov painted their colorful faces, tired of hunger and excessive labor, Japanese prisoners of war depersonalized and Kazuki painted them with the same faces. By the way, bodily practices were different: Paradzhanov's fellow campers suffered from syphilis, and Kazuk's fellow campers suffered from dystrophy. Paradzhanov and Kazuki create dolls that, by their own genre, reflect the depersonalization process and the puppet dependence of man in the hands of a totalitarian state. However, the fact that after the camp they became different, that the camp experience remained with the artists forever reflected in their self-portraits and especially in the logo. Sergey Paradzhanov in his logo depicted not only his profile, but also a thumbprint inside the letter C., this shows the prisoner's fingerprint and his unique identity, as well as the barbed wire. Kazuki in his logo shows a self-portrait in which he removed all the details and instead of a human face the captive's working tool appears.
«Krapivin’s Recipe»: Plot Model of Vladislav Krapivin Realistic Prose in 1960–1980s
Authors: Sergienko Inna A.
Published: December 2019

In this article the author examines distinctive features of plot building by Vladislav Krapivin, focusing on his realistic prose in the period from the beginning of 1960 to the beginning of 1980. This essay deals with Krapivin’s texts that are considered the core of his work, which are the vignettes, short novels and novels, distinguished by the image of “krapivin’s boy” – the main character type in Krapivin’s writing. There are such works as novels “Kashka the armor-bearer” (1966), “The side where the wind is “The side where the wind is” (1964–1966), “Caravel’s Shadow” (1971), “A Musketeer and a Fairy” (1978), “The Little Bolt” (1979), “A Lullaby for a Ârother” (1979), “Three some from the Square of the Carronades” (1981), “The Little Crane and the Lightings” (1982) and the trilogy “The boy with a sword” (1973–1975). Sketchiness of Krapivin’s plot models is analyzed in the context of children’s literature specifics; we discover and explore how Krapivin’s literary techniques are connected with traditions, patterns and schemes of children’s literature; we attempt to define Krapivin’s individual style and to discern his unique techniques in plot building. This essay puts forward a hypothesis that the main themes of Krapivin’s realistic texts and, consequently, the themes’ manifestation in plots, are influenced not by literary tradition alone, but also by biographic framework. The author of the article considers the features of the figure of the main character of Krapivin’s works, describes the main clichs and stereotypes used by the author to create this image. Distinctive features of the main character (“Krapivin’s boy”) define very specific and limited set of plots that are related to the realities of the boys’ gender socialization after the Second World War and from 1906s to 1980s. There is a reasonable assumption on the reasons why there are so few girl-related plots and why the girl characters are clinging and auxiliary in relation to male characters. The author of the article concluded that Krapivin embodies the central theme of his prose – the plot of the test of the hero – in specific plots related to the realities of socialization of teenage boys from intelligent circles living in provincial Russian cities in the post-war and late Soviet period (1950–1980 years). The article notes that the important moment of the boy’s gender socialization is the acquisition and appropriation of a “heroic identity” by him and that most of Krapvin’s stories tell about this phenomenon.

This article presents the chronicle of the “Theory of Literary Plot / Narratology – 6” conference, held on May 14–16, 2019, by the Literary Studies Department of the Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS). About 60 reports, prepared by researchers working in educational and scientific institutions of Siberia (Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Barnaul, Krasnoyarsk, Rubtsovsk), as well as of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm and other cities, were delivered at the conference.

Same as in previous years, this traditional conference was dedicated to the problems of creating a Dictionary of subjects and motifs of Russian literature (the work on compiling this multi-volume book is being carried out in the departments for the second decade). At the conference, the questions of literary plot theory and motif were discussed, the plot was taken as a concept of narratology, the history of specific plots was reconstructed, the review of plot and motif thesauruses of individual authors or works was made. The plot was considered in relation to the intertext in the motif – poetic path – poetic formula – name – word series of notions, taking into account the opposition of lyrical and epic, anarrative and narrative.

In addition to theoretical reports, as well as studies reconstructing the transversal history of certain plots, works on the narratology and motif theory of the Siberian texts were also presented at the conference. The subject structure of opinion journalism (separately or in comparison with artistic subject structures) and multigenre works were also considered. A separate section was devoted to the ancient literature, and a rather large group (about a dozen) of researchers focused on the study of the lyrical plot, although the main interest was traditionally focused on the study of epos.
Avant-Garde Children’s Magazines and Newspapers of the 1920s – 1930s in Siberia
Authors: Abramova Ksenia V.
Published: December 2019

The purpose of this article is to analyze the magazines and newspapers for children and youth issued on the territory of Siberia in 1920s – 1930s. A great many children’s books were issued that years, moreover, the approach to design of that books and to the contents of writings for children changed significantly: the topics had to be actual, associated with the construction of the new society. At the same time, exactly in children’s press in 1920s, the new principles of book graphics were formed. There are a large number of magazines and newspapers aimed at youth audiences were published in Siberia in the 1920s and 1930s, but they did not have a long history. Some of them appeared only once or twice, after that they closed. But all the more interesting is the study of these rare publications as experiments that influenced how the Soviet children’s and youth magazine was formed. Viewing magazines and newspapers allows you to observe how the rubrication and the genre system of Soviet publications for children evolved, as well as identify trends that have become a definite “sign of the times”. The article explores archive materials and examines the contents of printed issues, peculiarities of the approaches to the inner composition of the material and design techniques, discovers the features of the “Soviet avant-garde” development in children’s and youth periodicals. It indicates that the majority of the Siberian Children’s and youth magazines issued within that period has demonstrated a strongly demonstrated ideological overtone, claiming its purpose raising the new type of human and orientation on the “iterature of fact”. The article covers the peculiarities of the illustration techniques in Siberian post-revolutionary magazines. The article marks that up to the mid – late 1920s, the children’s and youth periodicals design became composed of such elements as insets, plane drawings based on a contrast combination of black and white, photography and photographic compilation. Furthermore, it describes a number of self-presentation techniques, developed exactly by the avant-garde art. As can be seen from the above, it can be stated that Siberian children’s and youth journalism acquired the avant-garde trends of the first third of the 20th century, however, they haven’t been gradually and fully realized.

Published: December 2019

Carbon-Fluorine (C-F) bonds are considered the most inert organic functionality and their selective transformation under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly active Pt-Pd nanoalloy as a robust catalyst for the transformation of C-F bonds into C-H bonds at low temperature, a reaction that often required harsh conditions. The alloying of Pt with Pd is crucial to activate C-F bond. The reaction profile kinetics revealed that the major source of hydrogen in the defluorinated product is the alcoholic proton of 2-propanol, and the rate-determining step is the reduction of the metal upon transfer of the beta-H from 2-propanol. DFT calculations elucidated that the key step is the selective oxidative addition of the O-H bond of 2-propanol to a Pd center prior to C-F bond activation at a Pt site, which crucially reduces the activation energy of the C-F bond. Therefore, both Pt and Pd work independently but synergistically to promote the overall reaction

Sequential learning (SL) strategies, i.e. iteratively updating a ma-chine learning model to guide experiments, have been proposed to significantly accelerate materials discovery and research. Applications on computational datasets and a handful of optimization experiments have demonstrated the promise of SL, motivating a quantitative evaluation of its ability to accelerate materials discovery, specifically in the case of physical experiments. The benchmarking effort in the present work quantifies the performance of SL algorithms with respect to a breadth of research goals: discovery of any "good" material, discovery of all "good" materials, and discovery of a model that accurately predicts the performance of new materials.

Flight anomaly detection is used to determine the abnormal state data on the flight route. This study focused on two groups: general aviation habits (C1)and anomalies (C2). Groups C1 and C2 are obtained through similarity test with references. The methods used are: 1) normalizing the training data form, 2) forming the training segment 3) calculating the log-likelihood value and determining the maximum log-likelihood (C1) and minimum log-likelihood (C2) values, 4) determining the percentage of data based on criteria C1 and C2 by grouping SVM, KNN, and K-means and 5) Testing with log-likelihood ratio. The results achieved in each segment are Log-likelihood value in C1Latitude is -15.97 and C1Longitude is -16.97. On the other hand, Log-likelihood value in C2Latitude is -19.3 (maximum) and -20.3 (minimum), and log-likelihood value in C2Longitude is -21.2 (maximum) and -24.8 (minimum). The largest percentage value in C1 is 96%, while the largest in C2 is 10%. Thus, the highest potential anomaly data is 10%, and the smallest is 3%. Also, there are performance tests based on F-measure to get accuracy and precision.

Amaç: Araştırma postpartum dönemde algılanan sosyal desteğin posttravmatik stres ve anne bebek bağlılığı ile ilişkisini incelemek amacı ile yapıldı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı araştırmanın örneklemine postpartum dönemdeki 250 kadın alındı. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği, PTSB tanısında kullanılan Postravmatik Stres Bozukluğu Soru Listesi-Sivil Versiyonu ve Maternal Bağlanma Ölçeği ile toplandı. Veriler yüzdelik dağılım, ortalama, Anova, t testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi ile incelendi. Anlamlılık değeri p<0.05 olarak alındı. Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 29.70±5.41 (min: 17; max:45)’dir. Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği puan ortalaması 56.45±20.72,  Postravmatik Stres Bozukluğu Soru Listesi puan ortalaması 11.10±15.52, Maternal Bağlanma Ölçeği puan ortalaması 97.37±13.40’dı. Kadınların posttravmatik stres belirtileri %16 olarak bulundu. Algılanan sosyal destek puanları ile posttravmatik stres bozukluğu puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif (r=–0.37, p=0.000), algılanan sosyal destek puanları ile maternal bağlanma puanları arasında ise (r=0.24, p=0.000) pozitif korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç: Postpartum dönemde kadınların algıladığı sosyal destek posttravmatik stres bozukluğu ve maternal bağlanma ile ilişkilidir. Postpartum dönemde yaşanabilecek posttravmatik stres bozukluğunun en aza indirilmesi ve anne bebek bağlılığının arttırılması için yeterli sosyal desteğin sağlanması önerilmektedir.
