Plasmonic photonic biosensor: in situ detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 particles
Authors: Islam Abrar , Haider Firoz , Ahmmed Aoni Rifat , Ahmed Rajib
Published: October 2022

We conceptualized and numerically investigated a photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for rapid detection and quantification of novel coronavirus. The plasmonic gold-based optical sensor permits three different ways to quantify the virus concentrations inside patient’s body based on different ligand-analyte conjugate pairs. This photonic biosensor demonstrates viable detections of SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding-domain (RBD), mutated viral single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) and human monoclonal antibody immunoglobulin G (IgG). A marquise-shaped core is introduced to facilitate efficient light-tailoring. Analytes are dissolved in sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and surfaced on the plasmonic metal layer for realizing detection. The 1-pyrene butyric acid n-hydroxy-succinimide ester is numerically used to immobilize the analytes on the sensing interface. Using the finite element method (FEM), the proposed sensor is studied critically and optimized for the refractive index (RI) range from 1.3348-1.3576, since the target analytes RIs fluctuate within this range depending on the severity of the viral infection. The polarization-dependent sensor exhibits dominant sensing attributes for x-polarized mode, where it shows the average wavelength sensitivities of 2,009 nm/RIU, 2,745 nm/RIU and 1,984 nm/RIU for analytes: spike RBD, extracted coronavirus RNA and antibody IgG, respectively. The corresponding median amplitude sensitivities are 135 RIU-1, 196 RIU-1 and 140 RIU-1, respectively. The maximum sensor resolution and figure of merit are found 2.53 × 10−5 RIU and 101 RIU-1, respectively for viral RNA detection. Also, a significant limit of detection (LOD) of 6.42 × 10−9 RIU2/nm is obtained. Considering modern bioassays, the proposed compact photonic sensor will be well-suited for rapid point-of-care COVID testing.

Published: October 2022

Introduction

Nowadays, the burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been increasing in the world, particularly in developing nations. This could be related to the poor prognosis of the disease due to late presentation at diagnosis and poor treatment outcomes. In Ethiopia, studies related to the stage of colorectal cancer at diagnosis and its determinants are limited. Therefore, the study was intended to assess advanced stage presentation and its associated factors among colorectal cancer patients in northwest Ethiopia.

Methods

An institution-based retrospective study was conducted among 367 CRC patients at two oncologic centers (the University of Gondar and Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospitals) from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020. Data were entered into EPi-data 4.2.0.0 and transferred to STATA version 14 statistical software for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. All variables with P-value < 0.2 during bi-variable analysis were considered for multivariable logistic regression. The level of statistical significance was declared at P-value <0.05.

Results

The magnitude of advanced stage presentation of colorectal cancer was 83.1%. Being rural dwellers (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.6; 95% CI: 1.8,7.2), not medically insured (AOR = 3.9; 95% CI: 1.9,7.8), patients delay (AOR = 6.5; 95% CI:3.2, 13.3), recurrence of the disease (AOR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1,4.7), and no comorbidity illness (AOR = 4.4; 95% CI: 2.1, 9.1) were predictors of advanced stage presentation of CRC.

Conclusion

The current study revealed that the advanced-stage presentation of colorectal cancer patients was high. It is recommended that the community shall be aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease using different media, giving more emphasis to the rural community, expanding health insurance, and educating patients about the recurrence chance of the disease. Moreover, expansion of colorectal treatment centers and screening of colorectal cancer should be given emphasis.
Cortical auditory evoked potential in cochlear implant users: An objective method to improve speech perception
Authors: Távora-Vieira Dayse , Wedekind Andre , Ffoulkes Ellen , Voola Marcus , Marino Roberta
Published: October 2022

Objective

To investigate if cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) measures can be used to verify the cochlear implant (CI) map and consequently improve CI outcomes in adults with bilateral hearing loss.

Design

CAEPs were measured in CI recipients using the speech tokens /m/, /g/, /t/ and /s/. If CAEP responses were present for all speech tokens, the participant’s map was considered “satisfactory”. If CAEP responses were absent, the CI map was considered “unsatisfactory” and therefore adjusted and CAEP measures repeated. This was repeated until auditory potentials were seen in response to all four speech tokens. Speech testing was conducted pre-CI, as well as before and after CAEP-guided map adjustments.

Results

108 adult unilateral CI users participated, whose sound processors were previously programmed using subjective methods. 42 CI users elicited a CAEP response to all four speech tokens and therefore no further mapping adjustments were made. 66 subjected lacked a CAEP response to at least one speech token and had their CI map adjusted accordingly. Of those, 31 showed a CAEP response to all four speech tokens, and the average speech score significantly improved after CI map adjustments based on CAEP responses.

Conclusion

CAEP’s are an objective tool that can be used to guide and verify CI mapping in adults CI users. Significant improvement in speech scores was observed in participants who had their CI map adjusted based on CAEP responses.
Negative target stimuli do not influence cross-modal auditory distraction
Authors: Kaiser Saskia , Buchner Axel , Mieth Laura , Bell Raoul
Published: October 2022

The present study served to test whether emotion modulates auditory distraction in a serial-order reconstruction task. If auditory distraction results from an attentional trade-off between the targets and distractors, auditory distraction should decrease when attention is focused on targets with high negative arousal. Two experiments (with a total N of 284 participants) were conducted to test whether auditory distraction is influenced by target emotion. In Experiment 1 it was examined whether two benchmark effects of auditory distraction—the auditory-deviant effect and the changing-state effect—differ as a function of whether negative high-arousal targets or neutral low-arousal targets are used. Experiment 2 complements Experiment 1 by testing whether target emotion modulates the disruptive effects of reversed sentential speech and steady-state distractor sequences relative to a quiet control condition. Even though the serial order of negative high-arousal targets was better remembered than that of neutral low-arousal targets, demonstrating an emotional facilitation effect on serial-order reconstruction, auditory distraction was not modulated by target emotion. The results provide support of the automatic-capture account according to which auditory distraction, regardless of the specific type of auditory distractor sequence that has to be ignored, is a fundamentally stimulus-driven effect that is rooted in the automatic processing of the to-be-ignored auditory stream and remains unaffected by emotional-motivational factors.

Published: October 2022

The persistence of high consequence public health pathogens in a wastewater treatment system can significantly impact worker safety, as well as the public and downstream water bodies, particularly if the system is forced to shut down the treatment processes. This study utilizes organism viability to compare the persistence of three pathogen surrogates in wastewater using a pilot-scale activated sludge treatment (AST) system, operated to mimic treatment processes of large-scale plants. Bacillus globigii spores, surrogate for Bacillus anthracis, persisted in the AST system for at least a 50-day observation period leading to a possible steady condition far beyond the solid retention time for sludge particles. MS2 bacteriophage, surrogate for Poliovirus and other non-enveloped enteric viruses, was observed for up to 35 days after introduction, which largely and expectedly correlated to the measured solid retention time. Phi-6 bacteriophage, a surrogate for Ebola virus and other enveloped viruses, was detected for no more than 4 days after introduction, even though the AST system was operated to provide three times slower solids removal than for the other surrogates. This suggests Phi-6 is subject to inactivation under AST conditions rather than physical removal. These results may suggest similar persistence for the surrogated pathogens, leading to appropriate consequence management actions.

Published: October 2022

Background

Frailty is associated with adverse outcomes in traumatically injured geriatric patients but has not been well-studied in geriatric Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Objective

To assess relationships between frailty and outcomes after TBI

Methods

The records of all patients aged 70 or older admitted from home to the neurosurgical service of a single institution for non-operative TBI between January 2020 and July 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was adverse discharge disposition (either in-hospital expiration or discharge to skilled nursing facility (SNF), hospice, or home with hospice). Secondary outcomes included major inpatient complication, 30-day readmission, and length of stay.

Results

100 patients were included, 90% of whom presented with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) 14–15. The mean length of stay was 3.78 days. 7% had an in-hospital complication, and 44% had an unfavorable discharge destination. 49% of patients attended follow-up within 3 months. The rate of readmission within 30 days was 13%. Patients were characterized as low frailty (FRAIL score 0–1, n = 35, 35%) or high frailty (FRAIL score 2–5, n = 65, 65%). In multivariate analysis controlling for age and other factors, frailty category (aOR 2.63, 95CI [1.02, 7.14], p = 0.005) was significantly associated with unfavorable discharge. Frailty was not associated with increased readmission rate, LOS, or rate of complications on uncontrolled univariate analyses.

Conclusion

Frailty is associated with increased odds of unfavorable discharge disposition for geriatric patients admitted with TBI.

Revegetation of exposed sub-soil, while a desirable recovery strategy, often fails due to extreme soil chemical properties, such as low organic matter and pH levels. Microalgae play a key role in maintaining water quality in the lakes and rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Plateau microalgae have extensive application prospects in environmental purification, biotechnology, medicine and cosmetics, food industry, and renewable energy. To identify the high biomass of microalgae present in nature, microalgae with the greatest biomass were screened from natural water samples through filtration, pre-culture, and plate scribing separation. Following identification via 18S rRNA sequencing as for the Desmodesmus sp., we constructed a neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree. The novel Desmodesmus sp. from the Tibetan Yamdrok Lake were identified through polyphasic taxonomy. Simultaneously, the sequence of the experimental samples and the target species were shown different following the identification and analysis of SNP and InDel loci. The light-absorbing properties of plateau Desmodesmus sp. have been investigated previously. The characteristic absorption peak of Desmodesmus sp. on the plateau was measured at 689 nm in the visible spectrum using full wavelength scanning with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. For Desmodesmus sp. which is prone to settling in the process of amplification culture. By monitoring the change trend of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, pH and electrical conductivity in algae solution system, we determined that the logarithmic growth phase and the best transfer window of Desmodesmus sp. were at 15–20 days. This study can provide basic research methods for the study of microalgae in high altitude areas, and lay a foundation for the later study and application of microalgae.
Prevalence and factors associated with unmet need for family planning among women of reproductive age (15–49) in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A multilevel mixed-effects analysis
Authors: Mosuse Marie Alice , Gadeyne Sylvie
Published: October 2022

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has experienced high levels of unmet need for family planning (UNFP) for many years, alongside high fertility, maternal and infant mortality rates. Previous research addressed the UNFP in DRC, but analyses were limited to the individual-level and to specific regions. This study aims to determine the individual- and community-level factors associated with UNFP among married women of reproductive age in DRC. Using data from the 2014 DRC Demographic and Health Survey, a two-level mixed-effect logistic model examined i) the associations between UNFP and individual- and community level factors, and ii) the extent to which individual variability in UNFP is due to the variability observed at the community-level, given the individual characteristics. A total of 10,415 women in 539 clusters were included. Prevalence of unmet need for limiting was 8.13%, and 23.81% for spacing. Compared to adolescents (15–24), young (25–34) (aOR = 0.75, CI: 0.63–0.90) and middle-aged (35–49) (aOR = 0.65, CI: 0.51–0.82) women were less likely to have unmet need for family planning. The odds of having unmet need increased significantly with number of living children [1–2 children (aOR = 2.46, CI: 1.81–3.35), 7+ children (aOR = 6.46, CI: 4.28–9.73)] and among women in a female-headed household (aOR = 1.22, CI: 1.04–1.42). Women from provinces Equateur (aOR = 1.82, CI: 1.24–2.68), Nord-Kivu (aOR = 1.66, CI: 1.10–2.55) and Orientale (aOR = 1.60, CI: 1.10–2.32) were more likely to have unmet need, compared to women from Kinshasa. Women from communities with medium (aOR = 1.32, CI: 1.01–1.72) and high (aOR = 1.46, CI: 0.98–2.18) proportion of women in wealthy households, and medium (aOR = 1.32, CI: 1.01–1.72) and high (aOR = 1.46, CI: 0.98–2.18) proportion of women with low ideal family size (≤6) were more likely to have unmet need, compared to those from communities with low proportion of wealthy households and high ideal family size, respectively. Policies should consider strengthening family planning programs in provinces Equateur, Orientale, and Nord-Kivu, and in wealthier communities and communities with a higher ideal family size. Family planning programs should target adolescents and young women.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los cambios que experimenta la ciudad sagrada de Díon, en Macedonia, al ser conquistado el territorio por Roma. La investigación se centra concretamente en el santuario de Zeus Olímpico, donde se puede constatar la realización de una serie de alteraciones que motivaron el paulatino abandono del mismo. Esto estaría enmarcado en un proceso de consolidación del poder romano en el lugar, que finalizaría con la fundación de un nuevo espacio religioso, consagrado a Zeus Hipsisto.
Dido y la impotentia muliebris.
Authors: Díaz López Laura
Published: October 2022

Siguiendo las políticas morales de Augusto, Virgilio nos plantea en su Eneida dos prototipos femeninos contrapuestos, ambos relacionados con el héroe. Por un lado, Creúsa, quien exhibe muchas de las virtudes que se esperaban en la matrona romana. Por otro, Dido, que, si bien poseyó muchas de estas virtudes mientras estuvo casada con el asesinado Siqueo, ahora, sin pariente masculino que ejerza el necesario control sobre ella, cegada por la pasión que siente por Eneas, espoleada por las palabras de su hermana Ana y dominada por la impotentia, abandona la virtus que intentó ejercer como gobernante y experimenta una progresiva degradación a medida que se abandona al luxus que la conducirá a la muerte como única posibilidad de redención. Su suicidio será la causa del odio entre Roma y Cartago, y, a consecuencia del mismo, de la destrucción de esta última, mostrando así Virgilio que la decadencia moral a nivel individual puede provocar a largo plazo el declive y la desaparición de un Estado.
Merenptah y los Pueblos del Mar

La victoria obtenida por Merenptah en la batalla de Perire contra una coalición de libios y Pueblos del Mar marcó el comienzo de una época en la que Egipto comenzó a tener que defender sus propios límites geográficos. En el mismo año Merenptah sofocó una rebelión en Nubia y realizó una campaña en Canaán, unos ataques que pudieron estar coordinados que deben entenderse en el contexto de los cambios políticos, económicos y militares que tuvieron lugar en las últimas décadas del siglo XIII a. C., en la etnogénesis de los Pueblos del Mar.
La adlectio de M. Cassius Caecilianus en Italica.

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos consolidar el vínculo entre dos inscripciones de Italica que mencionan a un Caecilianus. Este individuo habría experimentado una promoción a la ciudadanía italicense, permitiéndole posteriormente desempeñar los cargos de flamen perpetuo del divino Trajano y de duunviro en la colonia italicense. Para justificarlo, analizamos el fenómeno de la adlectio en Hispania en el s. II d.C. Finalmente, se ofrecen dos nuevas propuestas de restitución epigráfica que modifican levemente las interpretaciones anteriores, basadas en el reconocimiento de la relevancia de la posesión de la ciudadanía italicense y en Adriano como el artífice de la adlectio.
La memoria en la configuración de Atenas (s. VI a. C.)
Authors: Sierra Rodríguez David
Published: October 2022

El auge de la memoria como categoría de análisis histórico permite aplicar conceptos que analizan las formas en las que se construye el pasado de una sociedad y cómo este permite la supervivencia de la comunidad. En la Atenas de finales del siglo VII y principios del VI a. C., se da un proceso de reelaboración del pasado, de los mitos fundacionales y de la topografía histórica de la ciudad. El análisis de los discursos, los espacios y los rituales a través de la memoria desvelan las nuevas ideologías de la ciudad, la jerarquización de espacios y las relaciones de poder entre grupos sociales

Features of Carbon and Silicon Thin Films Reflection Spectra in the Visible Region
Authors: Solomatin C.V. , Melnikova O.S. , Belousow A.S.
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the reflection of visible light from a thin absorbing film. For a number of reasons, thin films have recently been the subject of close study. As part of the work, several non-metal films were fabricated on a glass substrate: silicon films (by resistive evaporation) and carbon films (using laser evaporation). The resulting films have an optical thickness in the range of 1 μm (that is, the actual layer thickness is in the range of 0.2-0.4 μm) and at the same time noticeably absorb the light flux. The films were processed according to the standard method in the visible region using a USB4000 spectrometer. Reflection spectra for each of the films were plotted for several different points on the surface. The spectra look similar when differences in numerical values are not considered. The contribution of the interference of rays reflected from the front and rear boundaries is significant at long wavelengths (in the red region), whereas the interference practically disappears against the background of instrument noise in the short wavelength region (violet part of the spectrum). The reason for this is that absorption during propagation of the short-wavelength part inside the film significantly reduces the intensity of the beam reflected from the rear surface of the film.
Existence of a Weak Solutionto the Two-Dimensional Filtration Problem in a Thin Poroelastic Layer
Authors: Gilev P.V. , Papin A.A.
Published: October 2022

The paper considers a mathematical model of the joint motion of two immiscible incompressible fluids in a poroelastic medium. This model is a generalization of the classical Musket-Leverett model, in which porosity is considered to be a given function of the spatial coordinate. The model under study is based on the mass conservation equations for liquids and the porous skeleton, Darcy's law for liquids, which takes into account the movement of the porous skeleton, the Laplace formula for capillary pressure, the Maxwell-type rheological equation for porosity, and the "system as a whole" equilibrium condition. In the thin layer approximation, the original problem is reduced to the successive determination of the porosity of the solid skeleton and its velocity. Then an elliptic-parabolic system is derived for the “reduced pressure” and saturation of the wetting phase. Its solution is understood in a generalized sense due to the degeneration on the solution of the equations of the system. The proof of the existence theorem is carried out in four stages: regularization of the problem, proof of the physical maximum principle for saturation, construction of Galerkin approximations, passage to the limit in regularization parameters based on the method of compensated compactness.
Numerical Modeling of Biogeochemical Carbon Cycles in Swamp Ecosystems
Authors: Dyukarev E.A. , Semenov S.P.
Published: October 2022

A dynamic model of biogeochemical carbon cycles in swamp ecosystems is proposed. There are fast and slow biogeochemical cycles. Fast cycles operate in the biosphere and include photosynthesis, vegetative growth, and decomposition. Swamp ecosystems are one of the significant reservoirs of biogeochemical cycles. It is known that huge reserves of carbon in the form of slightly decomposed organic matter are preserved in the swamps. They are active sources of methane and carbon dioxide runoff from the atmosphere.

Mathematical models of dynamic processes in ecology can be divided into two categories: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative models, as a rule, are aimed at solving problems of predicting numerical indicators of the dynamics of real systems. They must be modified to consider specific climatic conditions, special types of swamp vegetation, and hydrological regime for their successful application.

Qualitative models written as systems of differential equations assume the finding of singular points, their classification and study for stability, the construction of phase portraits, etc. Such models rarely lend themselves to quantitative verification, but provide important knowledge and understanding of processes in nature. A qualitative study of the system of ordinary differential equations describing carbon cycles is carried out, the types of singular points are investigated, integral curves and phase portraits are constructed.
On Some Properties of a Quadrilateral Whose Vertices are Remarkable Points of the Triangle

Published: October 2022

This article is devoted to the geometry of a triangle, in particular, to the study of the relative position of well-defined remarkable points of a non-isosceles triangle ABC, where H, I, G, O, N are the orthocenter of the triangle, the center of the inscribed circle, the center of gravity, the center of the circumscribed circle, respectively, and the Nagel point. We prove the following main results: the quadrilateral HNOI is a trapezoid whose diagonals intersect at the point G, HN is parallel to IO, HI is not parallel to NO, and angle HIO > 90°; in the trapezoid HNOI one of the angles is equal to 90° if and only if p2 = 2R2 + 10Rr - r2, wherep, r, R are respectively the semiperimeter, radii of the inscribed and circumscribed circles; necessary and sufficient conditions are found when a circle can be described near the trapezoid HNOI; a circle cannot be inscribed in the trapezoid HNOI; the trapezoid HNOI is not orthodiagonal; the area of the trapezoid HNOI is found, expressed in terms of the parameters p, r, R of the original triangle ABC. The results obtained in the article can be used when reading various courses in Olympiad mathematics, can be useful for high school students and teachers of gymnasiums with in-depth study of mathematics.
A Sufficient Condition for a Curve to Belong to Boundary of its Own Convex Hullin An
Authors: Polikanova I.V.
Published: October 2022

The paper discusses some generalizations of the convex curve and the relationship between the classes of curves they define.

The main result concerns the curves in n-dimensional affine space An: a non-degenerate curve in An lies on the boundary of its convex hull if any hyperplane intersects it in at most n points. It is justified by the theory of convex sets. This statement generalizes an earlier (2014) result of the author concerning the curves that are compact sets in An. V. Gustin proved in 1947 a stronger theorem for a Euclidean space En of dimension n: a connected set intersected by any hyperplane at no more than n points is a simple continuous curve lying on the boundary of a convex set. Note that in a projective space of dimension n the requirement that the curve intersects all planes at no more than n points is included in the definition of a convex curve. Thus, the established fact, together with the result of V. Gustin, shows the contiguity of the concepts of convexity in all three spaces.

Abstract

Lifelong learning essentially covers the whole life and fields of the individual. In this context, how lifelong learning is realized in the political sphere should be investigated. In this study, various movements on the political spectrum are presented and evaluated in terms of lifelong learning in terms of their content. The need for lifelong learning is increasing parallel to social development. One of the most concrete indicators of this phenomenon is the increasing democratization and liberalization of political movements. The realization of learning outside educational institutions and within social movements is a historical phenomenon.

The Poetics of Heterogeneous Bodies in Contemporary Hungarian Literature
Authors: Nemeth Zoltan
Published: October 2022

In contemporary Hungarian literature, an increasingly important role is played by post-humanist-anthropocene forms of literary expression, the starting point of which is biological operations performed on the body. The bodily transformations that change the anthropological and evolutionary picture of man are accompanied by new biological constructs and power relations, as a result of which animal life forms acquire hybrid identities. Three Hungarian novels are discussed in the work: My Hero’s Square (2000) by Lajos Parti Nagy, A patkány éve [Year of the Rat] (2013) by Imre Bartók, Irha és bőr [Hide and Skin] (2019) by Anita Moskát. Their analysis is set in the context of posthumanism, ecocriticism and postmodernism.
Szkoła uważności i działania. Relacje między światem dziecka a środowiskiem przyrodniczym w czasopismach dziecięcych wydawanych w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej na przykładzie „Płomyka” i „Płomyczka”
Authors: Gromadzka Beata Maria
Published: October 2022

Duże znaczenie dla upowszechniania idei ochrony przyrody w okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego miały czasopisma „Naszej Księgarni” – „Płomyk” i „Płomyczek”. Przyroda stanowiła ważny temat utworów literackich, artykułów popularnonaukowych, wierszy, felietonów, porad oraz korespondencji z czytelnikami. Kolejne numery odpowiadały rytmowi roku szkolnego i kalendarza natury. Idea wychowania ekologicznego „Płomyka” i „Płomyczka” była realizowana przez koncepcję współistnienia dzieci, roślin i zwierząt w jednorodnym środowisku. Refleksja nad obecnością świata roślinno-zwierzęcego w przestrzeni miasta i w wiejskim krajobrazie służyła uwrażliwieniu na jego wartości i uczyła uważności w obserwacji nie-ludzkich mieszkańców podwórek, parków, ogrodów, lasów i pól. Widoczna jest dbałość o stworzenie przestrzeni porozumienia i współrozumienia świata natury. Ukazanie koncepcji edukacji ekologicznej jest rekonstrukcją modelu etycznego, w którym dzieci, zwierzęta i rośliny stają się równoprawnymi podmiotami moralnymi, kształtowane są praktyki relacyjne wobec środowiska oraz poczucie sprawstwa w otaczającym świecie.
Polymorphic perversion of human and other-than-human bodies
Authors: Gajewska Grażyna
Published: October 2022

The author examines a range of modes in which the relationship between flora and the human are portrayed. The paper begins with an inquiry into anthropomorphization of plants—a phenomenon firmly established in Western culture—only to show subsequently that such a notional approach has its counterpoise in non-anthropocentric reflection, primarily in post-humanism and new materialism. It is further demonstrated that the studies which emphasize the “vegetal facet of the human” manage to pinpoint both evolutionary and cultural relationships where the human and the non-human are seen to co-exist and cooperate. Then, the author draws attention to the very considerable role that plants play in creating phantasms relating to human gender and sexuality.

Published: October 2022

Autor przedstawia rozwój relacji między Zygmuntem Krasińskim i Cyprianem Norwidem,  eksponując i komentując przede wszystkim punkt widzenia pierwszego z tych pisarzy, wyrażany w listach do wielu adresatów. Wskazuje na przyczyny rozczarowania Krasińskiego, który próbował zająć w stosunku do Norwida postawę mentora literackiego i duchowego przewodnika. Autor Irydiona wywierał presję na rzecz zmiany stylu u młodszego przyjaciela, zarzucał mu nadmiar wieloznaczności, „ciemność mowy”, która utrudnia zrozumienie sensu myślowego ambitnych dzieł poetyckich. Norwid tę krytykę odrzucił, bronił prawa do indywidualizacji stylu i języka, przyjmował założenie, że literatura musi zmuszać czytelnika do wysiłku indywidualnego i czynnego odbioru dzieła sztuki. Autor stawia tezę, iż w sporze tym ujawniły się fundamentalne różnice w podejściu do reguł tworzenia, Krasiński odwoływał się bowiem do idei poety-wieszcza i przewodnika, charakterystycznej dla pierwszej generacji romantyków, natomiast Norwid wykraczał poza romantyczny standard.

Wyszukiwarka Google jako praktyczne narzędzie lingwistyczne do opisu innowacyjnych użyć frazeologizmów
Authors: Dziamska-Lenart Gabriela , Woźniak-Wrzesińska Ewelina
Published: October 2022

The aim of this article is to present the basic capabilities of the Google search engine in the process of analysing multi-word lexical combinations. Our assumption is that the Google search engine can be regarded as a kind of linguistic database ready to be used as a practical linguistic tool. The text is an overview, therefore the presented material is limited to the necessary minimum, i.e. fifty randomly-selected phraseological compounds. In the introduction, we list ( and briefly discuss ) the tools available for studying Polish-language multi-word lexical combinations. With such an outlined background, we may characterise the Google search engine as a linguistic database. Finally, in the relevant part, we present the ways of using this tool with selected examples. In the summary, we discuss the possibilities offered by the use of a constantly-updated linguistic database which the Internet search engine under review can be considered to be.
Nazwy osobowe w opowiadaniach Agnieszki Zimnowodzkiej jako tekstowy komponent dziecięcej konceptualizacji świata
Authors: Łuc Izabela
Published: October 2022

The subject of the article is a selection of personal names excerpted from „Humorki” ( Little Humours ) – a cycle of short stories by Agnieszka Zimnowodzka, which constitute, in the author’s opinion, an important component of a literary communication that reproduces children’s conceptualization of the world. Their specificity, mechanisms of creation and motives for selection were determined by: the addressee’s age, the author’s creative intention, the applied genre and stylistic convention, the functions attributed to namesand subordinated to text pragmatics. The collected set of names was interpreted in the motivational-communicative platform as text and as semiotic and semantic structures. An analysis of the collected anthroponyms revealed a few creative tendencies typical of the writer’s creative workshop. By creating proper names with appellative bases pointing to the characters’ qualities, she follows children’s conceptualization of the world based on trying to experiment with the language. Therefore, the names have a form of naming neologisms derived by means of word building. In the acts of creating proper names, the author applies some particular naming models, within which the names created in series can be indicated. The writer brings together personal names and other onymic categories which complete their meanings and maximise the power of the message, making use of both verbal and situational humour.
Oralność i retoryka świętych ksiąg. Na przykładzie tatarskiego tefsiru – pierwszego przekładu Koranu na język słowiański ( polski )
Authors: Kulwicka-Kamińska Joanna
Published: October 2022

The article presents, on the basis of a sixteenth-century translation of the Qur’an into Polish, the interpenetration of two planes in revealed books: the rhetorical and the persuasive one. In this context, the article points out the realisation of the directives of classical Arabic rhetoric, including the semantic principle, the principle of clear expression and the principle of sophisticated style. It also indicates the original orality of the Qur’an and the persuasiveness of its message achieved, among other things, by addressing the recipient, the establishment of the us vs. them opposition, the occurrence of evaluative and directive vocabulary, the introduction of colloquial speech, and the use of intensifiers of content. The collected material also demonstrates the complex relation between the scripturalisation of a language and the translation of a sacred text ( the Qur’an ) into Polish.
„Wy oświeceni, my dzicy ludzie jesteśmy, ale my więcej od was umiemy”. Postacie operowe Wojciecha Bogusławskiego w obliczu utraty wolności
Authors: Maksymowicz Piotr
Published: October 2022

This article constitutes an attempt at recreating the possible allusive readings, political references and hidden meanings in three operas by Wojciech Bogusławski: Dla miłości zmyślone szaleństwo (Madness made for love), Axur król Ormus (Axur, the king of Ormus), Izkahar król Guaxary (Izkahar, the king of Guaxara). Key for this search are the attitudes of the characters in the analysed operas towards the loss of freedom – one may argue that their ways to cope with the violence and the ruthless autocratic tyranny could be perceived as contemporary. This is why the story, which is in its outer layers one of an unhappy love, became for the eighteenth-century viewers a story of the most important contemporary politics.
W poszukiwaniu postaci (w XIX-wiecznych teoriach opery i prozie artystycznej)
Authors: Nowicka Elżbieta
Published: October 2022

The article analyses texts regarding the opera character, or indirectly linked to it, by a number of authors from the late eighteenth century to the last decades of the nineteenth century: Sulzer, Rousseau, Hoffmann, Stendhal, Baudelaire, Wagner. The author focuses on their theoretical texts and artistic prose. The analysis indicates a strong multilateral involvement of the reflection on the topic of character in contemporary aesthetic views and anthropological concepts.
W rokokowym blasku podróży na Cyterę… Dramaturgiczne antecedencje formowania koncepcji postaci w XVIII-wiecznej operze seria na przykładzie Alciny Georga Friedricha Händla
Authors: Lisiecka Katarzyna
Published: October 2022

This study presents the effect of the principles of dramatic poetics with regard to the way the concept of a character in eighteenth-century opera seria was formed. Similarly to the rococo message of Antoine Watteau’s paintings, this genre of opera was characterised by melancholic sophistication, the rule of the artificiality of the presented world and an allegorical plan of reference that assumed an intellectualised strategy of reception of a work of art. The article presents the path to the formation of a model eighteenth-century-opera character, from the transformation of the principles of Aristotelian poetics due to the influence of the rhetorical and scholastic tradition and later due to that of the poetics of French classicism. Händel’s Alcina serves as an example of the superiority of ethos and pathos, i.e. of the presentation of the affects and internal states of the titular character, over other elements of the drama. It is also used to explain to what extent the project of the rococo opera, artificial and challenging the probability rule, practises the mimetic postulates of artistics presentation.
Głos jako tworzywo postaci operowej. Historyczny zarys wokalnej typologii głosów
Authors: Kicińska Hanna
Published: October 2022

This study presents the historical range of topics related to the typology of singing voices and how they are linked to the character constituting the building material of an operatic character. This six-part overview presents the subsequent stages of the formation of the status and role of particular voices in the theory and practice of musical performance, with particular emphasis on specific vocal phenomena key to the development of operatic and solo singing: the so-called covering, haute-contre, bass-baritone and boy soprano. The reason behind the diachronic presentation of the vocal terms is to order and systematise the transformations that vocal practice, musical nomenclature and musical performance have undergone over the centuries.
Mahomet jako centralna postać wyobrażonej opery w opowiadaniu „Gambara” Balzaca
Authors: Gamrat Małgorzata
Published: October 2022

The article discusses the fragment of Balzac’s short story Gambara in which the titular character discusses his opera. The focal point of this article is a character from the opera written by Paolo Gambara – Muhammad. The elements used to build the character (character traits, transformations, biography, relationships with his environment, actions, emotions etc.) were analysed in the context of the musical means used to present them and of the entire short story. The background of this analysis consists of a short overview of the philosophical ideas about music and science expressed by Gambara in order to better present the sources of his ideas and the musical solutions that he used.
Narrator czy… poeta oralny? Mickiewiczowski „Powrót taty” w opracowaniu muzycznym Henryka Jareckiego i Jana Gołębiowskiego
Authors: Piotrowska Magdalena
Published: October 2022

The article discusses the opera-ballad Powrót taty (Father’s return) in a musical edition by Henryk Jarecki with a libretto by Jan Gołębiowski. Its goal is to present the manners of building the character and the narrative. Apart from the characteristic features of a ballad, the text also discusses the category of an oral poet, a “storyteller” and the dialogue relation (“speaking” instead of “talking”.) These are the means that gave Mickiewicz’s ballad a new dimension. Helpful in its reception are texts on cultural practices, especially those referring to oral culture (compare with e.g. Jack Goody, Albert B. Lord, Eric A. Havelock, Walter J. Ong.).
Stability of the ball under volume preserving fractional mean curvature flow
Authors: Cesaroni Annalisa , Novaga Matteo
Published: October 2022

We consider the volume constrained fractional mean curvature flow of a nearly spherical set and prove long time existence and asymptotic convergence to a ball.
The result applies in particular to convex initial data under the assumption of global existence.
Similarly, we show exponential convergence to a constant for the fractional mean curvature flow of a periodic graph.
An uncertainty measure based on Pearson correlation as well as a multiscale generalized Shannon-based entropy with financial market applications
Authors: Koushki Ali , Osoolian Mohammad , Sadeghi Sharif Seyed Jalal
Published: October 2022

In this research, we intended to employ the Pearson correlation and a multiscale generalized Shannon-based entropy to trace the transition and type of inherent mutual information as well as correlation structures simultaneously. An optimal value for scale is found to prevent over smoothing, which leads to the removal of useful information. The lowest Singular Value Decomposition Multiscale Generalized Cumulative Residual Entropy (SVDMWGCRE), or SVD Entropy (SVDE), is obtained for periodic–chaotic series, generated by logistic map; hence, the different dynamic, correlation structures, and intrinsic mutual information have been characterized correctly. It is found out that the mutual information between emerging markets entails higher sensitivity, and moreover emerging markets have demonstrated the highest uncertainty among investigated markets. Additionally, the fractional order has synergistic effects on the enhancement of sensitivity with the multiscale feature. According to the logistic map and financial time series results, it can be inferred that the logistic map can be utilized as a financial time series. Further investigations can be performed in other fields through this financial simulation. The temporal evolutions of financial markets are also investigated. Although the results demonstrated higher noisy information for emerging markets, it was illustrated that emerging markets are getting more efficient over time. Additionally, the temporal investigations have demonstrated long-term lag and synchronous phases between developed and emerging markets. We also focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and compared the reactions of developing and emerging markets. It is ascertained that emerging markets have demonstrated higher uncertainty and overreaction to this pandemic.
circ-LIMK1 regulates cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma by targeting miR-512-5p/HMGA1 axis
Authors: Li Ya , Li Fangfang , Wang Yaya , Song Fangyu , Qi Lin , Hu Qiang
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to unveil the detailed role and new mechanism of circ-LIMK1 in lung adenocarcinoma. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to analyze the expression of circ-LIMK1, miR-512-5p, and HMGA1. 3-(4,5)-Dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide assay was employed to test the half maximal inhibitory concentration of cisplatin (DDP). Western blot was used to measure the expression of HMGA1, multidrug resistance protein 1, mitochondrial 37S ribosomal protein, and vascular endothelial growth factor A. Colony formation assay, flow cytometry, transwell assay, and tube formation assay were performed to analyze cell functions. Animal models were established to assay the role of circ-LIMK1 in vivo. The expression of circ-LIMK1 was up-regulated in DDP-resistant tumor tissues and cells. Knockdown of circ-LIMK1 reduced DDP resistance, impaired cancer cell growth, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. circ-LIMK1 targeted miR-512-5p, and HMGA1 was targeted by miR-512-5p. MiR-512-5p absence could restore the repressive effects of circ-LIMK1 knockdown on lung adenocarcinoma cell phenotypes. Overexpression of HMGA1 could restore the inhibitory effects of miR-512-5p enrichment on lung adenocarcinoma cell malignant phenotypes. Knockdown of circ-LIMK1 could reduce growth of DDP-resistant tumors in vivo. Collectively, circ-LIMK1 regulated DDP resistance in lung adenocarcinoma by targeting miR-512-5p/HMGA1 axis.
