The feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of an app-based intervention (the coping camp) in reducing stress among chinese school adolescents: protocol of a cluster randomised controlled tria v1
Authors: not provided xiaoyun.zhou
Published: August 2023

Background: Regardless of increasing evidence suggesting the effectiveness of mental health apps for adolescents, there has not been a mental health app developed for stress management among Chinese adolescents. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a mental health app (the Coping Camp) that was developed for stress management among Chinese adolescents. Methods: This study will employ a two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial design. Adolescents will be recruited from two high schools in Mianyang City in China. Participants will be randomly allocated to the intervention group, who will have access to the Coping Camp for 11 weeks, and the control group, who will not have access to it. Study outcomes relating to perceived stress, depression, anxiety, coping behaviours and mental health well-being will be assessed at baseline (T0), 11 weeks after the baseline (T1) and 19 weeks after the baseline (T2). Intent-to-treat analysis will be employed and repeated measure design with linear mixed model (LMM) will be performed.

Background. Endometrial cancer occupies a leading position in the structure of oncogynecological pathology. According to modern literature, circulating tumor cells, which represent a heterogeneous population, participate in the processes of recurrence and metastasis. Moreover, tumor cells can form hybrid forms with blood cells, increasing their malignancy.

Aim. To conduct a comparative characterization of the features of the occurrence of atypical/hybrid forms of EpCAM+CD45+ cells in the blood of patients with endometrial cancer before and after surgery, and to assess their prognostic significance.

Material and methods. The prospective study NCT04817501 included 55 patients with newly diagnosed T1a-2N0M0 stage endometrial cancer, average age 57.8 ± 1.7 years, who were admitted for treatment at the Research Institute of Oncology, Tomsk National Research Medical Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and/or Tomsk Regional Oncological Dispensary. At the same time, metastases and cancer recurrences were found in 11 patients out of 55 patients after 4–5 years of follow-up after treatment. The material for the study was stabilized EDTA venous blood taken from patients before surgical treatment of the tumor and on the third day after treatment. The presence of atypical/hybrid forms of EpCAM+CD45+ cells in blood serum was determined by multicolored flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies to CD45 and EpCAM molecules labeled with various fluorochromes.

Results. When comparing the frequency of occurrence of atypical/hybrid EpCAM+CD45+ cells in patients with endometrial cancer before surgery and on the third day after surgery, no differences were found. Comparing the frequency of occurrence of atypical/hybrid forms of EpCAM+CD45+ cells in patients with endometrial cancer with hematogenous metastases and relapses and in patients with endometrial cancer without hematogenous metastases and relapses, it was found that in the blood of patients with endometrial cancer before surgery, with developed hematogenous metastases and relapses after treatment, EpCAM+CD45+ cells are more common (p = 0.03). It was found that the concentration of EpCAM+CD45+ cells in patients with established relapses and metastases of 125 (120;387) cells/ml is higher (p = 0.022) than in patients without these complications of 30 (0;220) cells/ml. During the ROC analysis, it was found that the best cut-off point for the model is the value of 80 cells/ml. The sensitivity of the model is 81.8 %, the specificity is 67.7 %. The indicator of the area under the ROC curve was 0.733.

Conclusion. The number of atypical/hybrid forms of EpCAM+CD45+ cells before treatment is associated with the risk of relapses and hematogenous metastases in patients with endometrial cancer.

Carriers of germline mutations have an increased risk of developing malignant neoplasms. Mutations in the BRCA1/2 gene are the most studied, leading to an increased risk of breast cancer, characterized by early manifestation and aggressive course. The development of screening measures aimed at identifying tumors characteristic of certain mutations will increase the patient’s chances for radical treatment, and therefore lower costs for the treatment of advanced forms of malignant neoplasms. It is important to know the correlation of mutations with the characteristics of their clinical manifestation, the study of this issue will lead to the formation of a medical and economic justification for additional diagnostic procedures.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and one of the leading causes of death from cancer in Russia and most countries of the world. In countries with mammographic screening, there is a decrease in mortality from breast cancer. Introduction of mammographic image evaluation platforms into radiologist practice based on the work of artificial intelligence it allows not only to increase the coverage of the female population, but also to reduce the cost of screening, but it also increases the sensitivity and specificity of mammography as a method of breast cancer screening.

The article presents the results of a study on the evaluation of mammographic images in women who have passed a preventive study using an artificial intelligence program.

Within the framework of this project, mammographic images were analyzed using the service for viewing medical images “Celsus” in 8030 patients. The study assessed the age groups of 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60 years and older. The average age of patients with suspected breast cancer was 54.8 years. Breast cancer was detected in 13 women (1.2 %), while the highest percentage of breast cancer was detected in the group with mammographic density D.
Justification for the need to conduct research on the formation of general competencies of future officers in the process of professional training in the national guard of Ukraine

The war has changed the environment of the service and combat activities of the officers in the National Guard of Ukraine. Today, military units perform functions of the National Guard of Ukraine that are atypical for peacetime, including participation in the implementation of the legal regime of martial law and involvement in territorial defense tasks. The new conditions of this environment include: an increase in the average age of subordinate personnel, which often exceeds the age of graduates from higher military educational institutions; the necessity to make quick decisions in conditions of uncertainty; increased responsibility for the lives and health of subordinate personnel, and more. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis of the impact of new conditions in the service and combat environment on the satisfaction of graduates from higher military educational institutions of the National Guard of Ukraine with the general competencies they have acquired. The object of the research is the results of the service and combat activities of units in the National Guard of Ukraine, which depend on the competencies of their leaders. The following research methods were used to test the hypothesis: survey, analysis, and synthesis. The survey of graduates from higher military educational institutions of the National Guard of Ukraine was conducted remotely using questionnaires created in Google Forms in April-May 2023. According to the survey results, it was found that less than one-third of the graduates are satisfied with their acquired Soft Skills, which significantly differs from similar surveys conducted during their assessment in the higher military educational institution. The analyzed survey results confirmed the hypothesis, and its synthesis resulted in the formulation of proposals for further research dedicated to determining the pedagogical conditions for the formation of general competencies of future officers in the National Guard of Ukraine in the process of professional training.
Legal responsibility for crimes: regarding the specific division of offenses

Published: August 2023

The external aggression of totalitarian anti-democratic states against Ukraine is, among other things, caused by internal factors, including the crisis of democratic institutions and, above all, the conflicts that existed in the soviet system of law and have been recapitulated in the law of postsoviet countries. Ukraine's example of societal transformation is perhaps the most striking, as the imperial nature of power in the form of corruption, authoritarianism, repression, and disregard for rights and freedoms has also affected the newly formed Ukrainian political and economic environment. The military sphere, and especially the institution of legal responsibility of the military, is no exception, as it is extremely corruption- and crime-prone due to its isolation, conservatism, and multivector risks associated with both personal characteristics and the environment itself. Therefore, it requires urgent reform in accordance with NATO standards. However, this cannot be done without reforming the entire system of Ukrainian legislation. In accordance with the postulates of jurisprudence and practical necessity, the article substantiates the need to ensure legal certainty in the use of the terms "crime", "administrative offense", "disciplinary offense" in Ukrainian legislation, which are basic for the institution of legal liability. The author provides arguments in favor of distinguishing between the subject matter and grounds of liability for a crime, liability for an administrative offense and liability for a disciplinary offense in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine. Proposals are made to create codified regulations governing various spheres of social and economic life and, above all, the military sphere.
The development of military tourism as one of the directions of the tourism industry in the post-war period in Ukraine (using the example of Kyiv region)

This study examines modern changes in tourism of Ukraine, which are associated with increased interest in military tours. Using the example of the Kyiv region, with the help of consideration of tourism industry subjects (travel companies) and population survey, the possibilities of developing a new segment of tourism for this area were considered. Before the start of Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine in 2022, this direction was not sufficiently represented in general in all regions, although the historical and cultural base is quite significant. By examining the cultural heritage in the country in whole and in one of its regions – the Kyiv region – the diversity of military objects, fortification lines, museums, historical battlefields, as well as the transformation of the population and the willingness to show their history and experience of the struggle for independence were noted. Taken into consideration, that military tourism is for self-education and personal experience, it is an important part of allowing visitors to immerse themselves in places associated with patriotic events. At the moment, the borders of Ukraine are closed for tourists, the state is under martial law, and the security situation does not allow the full development of the tourism industry. However, important for those, who are working in the service sector is the post-war recovery and the presentation of a strategy for the development of tourist destinations. Accordingly, we proposed a number of recommendations for the development of military tourism in the Kyiv region, taking into account the vision of local residents and the events that took place there. Among the submitted proposals, the main focus was on symbols of indomitability during the war (the rooster from Borodianka, Patron the dog, Ukrainian songs created during the war, etc.), which can serve as names for festivals, master classes, etc. The research presented by us is relevant from the point of view of the inevitable growth of interest on the part of foreign tourists. That is why the research is based not simply on the historical or architectural analysis of the objects, but on the consideration of the current situation, which provides the opportunity to review the cities that were under occupation. From this point of view, military tourism that will develop in the post-war period should be based on both qualitative and quantitative research methods, which with a thorough analysis will increase interest in military activities without harming the local population.
The study of history as a factor in the formation of national self-identification of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Authors:   Military Institute of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Pyrogov К.
Published: August 2023

The importance of the formation of national self-identification among servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot be underestimated, since the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation requires from the defenders of Ukraine not only the performance of their professional work, namely the protection of Ukraine from external threats, but also the motivational component of continuing the fight against the aggressor, which contains identification and understanding of one's place in the world, especially in the Ukrainian nation. The article examines the formation, explanation and justification of the national narrative as a dominant component of the history of Ukraine. The importance of the national narrative in the formation of the personality and self-identification of military personnel is considered. The topic of nationalism is considered as the basis of the national idea and the formation of the nation in modern national states. The negative aspects of the lack of national identification and integration in the collective society and community were considered. This article is devoted to the consideration of the peculiarities of the formation of national identity and history, as the main tool in the formation of self-identification of military personnel of Ukraine, as conscious citizens and participants in the social friendship of Ukrainians. Changing orientations and civilizational challenges that continue in the 21st century require a stable identity for military personnel, but the very process of its formation requires not only theoretical justification, but also practical use during training in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. The study of history can become one of the methods that can be used by scientific and pedagogical workers for the development of the personality of cadets, therefore the purpose of this article is to scientifically substantiate the study of history as such a method.
EMIGRATION AS A LITERARY PLOT IN MODERN UKRAINIAN PROSE: ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE OF TANIA MALIARCHUK
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bernadska Nina
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the topic of emigration in modern Ukrainian literature. It is noted that its various variants - motives for departure, actions, deeds, psychology of migrants, their achievements and illusions were artistically interpreted in the latest Ukrainian prose, most often in the novel genre (the works of Irene Rozdobudko "Morning cleaner", 2004, "I know, what do you know, what I know", 2011, V. Eshkilieva "Paphos", 2002, Natalka Doliak "Gastarbaiterka", 2012, Natalky Snyadanko "Frau Müller is not ready to pay more", Irena Karpa "Good news from the Aral Sea", 2019, A. Chapaia "We have arrived”, 2015, Olga Slonivska "Lost in Time", 2018, as well as the British writer of Ukrainian origin, Maryna Levytska "Two vans", 2008, "A short history of tractors in Ukrainian", 2013, and others). Similar topics and issues are raised by Tanya Malyarchuk in another genre format - in the story "Frogs in the Sea" (2019), written in German and awarded the Austrian Ingeborg Bachmann Literary Prize. For this, the author chooses a "plot of external displacement" (Olena Romanenko), focusing on the fate of two lonely, abandoned people from different worlds - a Ukrainian emigrant Petro and an aristocratic Viennese Frau. In the development of the plot, the writer combines external (life without a passport in a foreign country, violation of the law, constant desire to be unnoticed, to do the dirtiest work) and internal (reflections on one's own life) conflicts, focuses on the loss of the usual coordinate system by the main character - not only in a foreign country, but also in the homeland, where no one is waiting for him - neither his mother nor his lover. Therefore, with the help of the symbol that was included in the title of the work (frogs in the sea), intertextual elements (allusions to the image of smoke in the poetry of Lesya Ukrainka, the images of Natalka and Peter from I. Kotlyarevsky's drama Natalka Poltavka) the author, starting from the theme of emigration, raises essential, common human problems: about the meaning of human life, about love as the highest measure of humanity, about the inevitability of time, about a person's right to choose and responsibility for it.
"TREASURE ISLAND" BY R. L. STEVENSON: A GAME FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bilyk Natalia
Published: August 2023

"Treasure Island" by R. L. Stevenson is presented in the context of British Neo-Romanticism, that embodied masculine culture, characteristic of the late Victorian period, and produced a special type of "everyage" reader, as well as adventure literature addressed to him. "Treasure Island" is one of the first novels (romances), which were intentionally written both for children and for adults. Still, its reputation of the masterpiece of boyhood fiction may prevent readership from capturing "adults" implications, that primarily exist at the deepest levels of human consciousness and relate to the complicated nature of human character and behavior. The interrelation of "children" and "adults" layers unfolds in the playful discourse of the novel, discussed in the paper as a boyhood adventure, as a quest, or as an intertertextual game with its readers. Stevenson’s conception of a fictional world as the fusion of the imaginative and of the real, where the imaginative plays a leading role, is of the utmost importance for the topic of the paper. Pirate boyhood game is revealed on two levels: at the surface level, as an objective reality created in accordance with the codes of adventure literature, and at the deeper level, as an expression of a youthful desire for adventures and fulfillment of a boyish sea dream. The former is emphasized by explicit allusions to Ballantain’s "Coral Island", and the latter is prompted by not so visible allusions to Poe’s "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym". The plot of the novel is designed as a quest, but "Treasure Island" is also a moral or psychological quest of some kind, so both the narrator and the reader have to look for answers in shifts in all characters of the story and not only in Long John Silver. The abundance of intertextual interconnections urges the reader to participate in unraveling intertexts and interpreting them in line with general and individual reader experience.
VASYL HOLOBORODKO – A MASTER OF NON-CLASSICAL VERSE FORMS: VERSIFICATION ANALYSIS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Hahara Victoria
Published: August 2023

The article explores the creative work of Vasyl Holoborodko, particularly his book of poems "An Apple of Good News". This topic has not been extensively researched in Ukrainian literary studies, although Holoborodko's work has been studied in other aspects, such as folklore, in Yulia Shutenko's dissertation. This article specifically focuses on the analysis of non-classical verse forms in the author's poetry. According to one accepted classification, non-classical verse is divided into dactylic, taktovyk's, and accentual verse, depending on the change in the number of intrastressed syllable intervals. These forms have different productivity in Ukrainian poetry in general and in the work of Vasyl Holoborodko in particular. The polymetric superform of the non-classical verse is the vers libre, and Vasyl Holoborodko is the most productive author of this form among his contemporaries. This is related to the feature of his work as folklore trend. Among the examples of poetry presented in the article, there are samples that refer to the folklore sources of his poetry, spoken folk verse, which is the source for non-classical verse forms, and particularly vers libre. Additionally, there are interesting examples of dactylic, taktovyk's, and accentual verse, which are analyzed in detail in the article, including the poems "Spring", "Mother was cleaning potatoes", "Linen Birds", and "Hungry tongues tied in a knot...". The analysis of these pieces of poetry allows us to trace the tendencies of his creative work, such as a tendency toward irregularity, a slight predominance of taktovyk verses in non-vers libre verses, folklore as a leading principle both in vers libre and in the rest of the poems, and the alternation of expressive and meditative motifs in poetic creation, the reproduction of conversational speech and folk verse rhythms in the poetry, the transmission of unique features of the Ukrainian language and authentic imagery. The article is a part of an author's larger study of non-classical verse in Ukrainian poetry of the second half of the 20th century.
MATERIAL AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF THE MARCHÉ BASIC CONCEPT IN THE TERMINOLOGY SYSTEM OF MARKETING ACTIVITIES IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Marketing belongs to specialized terminology systems with a system of signs organized in a certain way, which nominates a set of concepts of a specific fragment of the language world picture. The semantics of the terminology system of marketing activities has certain characteristics and possesses a lexical toolset to ensure adequate communication between enterprises on the market, between the producer and the consumer. Terms as elements of a specific system have characteristic features. First of all, it is the material and structural feature that characterizes the term as a linguistic sign: it serves as its material basis and at the same time acts as a unit of nomination and part of the lexical and semantic system of the language. Perception of this or that object occurs under the influence of various sensorimotor factors, categorical schemes, stock of knowledge, in other words, the conceptual system of native speakers endowed with their standard ideas and personal evaluation system. Frame analysis, which is used as one of the most effective ways of presenting terminological lexical units, contributes to the optimal disclosure of their meaning and real use in language. The organization of lexical material in the form of a frame provides a combination of linguistic (the meaning of lexemes) and extralinguistic factors. A frame is a structured unit, within which certain components and relations between them are distinguished; it is a cognitive model that conveys knowledge and views about a specific recurring situation. Singling out basic concepts in the frame of marketing activities makes it possible to understand its essence. Therefore, marché (m) "market" is one of the basic concepts, as it is a part of full or partial semantic paradigms that function as a whole semantic unit, and their hierarchical sequence is determined by logical and environmental factors. Marché (m) in all its possible manifestations is the object of marketing activities, while the concept represented by the term marché is a nominative unit, which is accompanied by several derivatives that form families of words and are in relations of interdependence.

In the article, the nature of the information about Ukrainian embroidered clothing (like embroidered shirts) from encyclopedias is researched. The encyclopedic aspect of the study of embroidery is proposed for the first time. Encyclopedias are an important source base that preserves and disseminates knowledge about the people, their history, culture, language, etc. And at a time when the information space is full of misinformation, encyclopedias assembled by professional editorial teams are considered as a reliable source base. But whether these ones are able to attract the attention of a mass reader also depends upon how interesting and useful their content is. Embroidered clothing as the subject of our study can be indicative in the context of the raised issue, because it is an integral element of Ukrainian folk clothing, has a special meaning, symbolism, sacramental features, therefore, information about it is relevant for Ukrainians. And the fact that because of the Russian-Ukrainian war Ukraine is now being discovered by the world and being interested in its history and culture, information of this kind is also relevant for non-Ukrainian readers. In encyclopedias, information about embroidered clothing is most often included in entries about embroidery that is, usually not represented by an item "Vyshyvanka" (embroidered clothing / shirt). We suggest that in encyclopedias, embroidery is described primarily as an object of embroidery art. In encyclopedias, other aspects of embroidered clothing related to their non-artistic functions (protective, ceremonial, patriotic, etc.) are covered much less. We also studied out that Ukrainian encyclopedic content about embroidered clothing usually has a local context and lacks a global one. This fact can contribute to the formation of the reader’s idea that embroidered shirts are an exclusively Ukrainian historical and cultural phenomenon. Although encyclopedias popular in the world show that embroidered clothes are characteristic of many populations. According to the top encyclopedias worldwide, embroidery traditions in Ukraine are not singled out as an original local phenomenon.

Os estudos sobre saúde mental têm demonstrado que os níveis de estresse e de depressão das pessoas ao redor do mundo vem aumentando durante a pandemia da COVID-19. No Brasil, mesmo com tais indicadores, ainda não está claro como esses fatores psicológicos podem estar relacionados. Para preencher essa lacuna, buscou-se analisou os níveis de estresse e depressão dos brasileiros, bem como visou estabelecer um modelo preditivo entre os construtos. Participaram 480 pessoas adultas de diferentes regiões do Brasil, com idades entre 18 e 65 anos (Midade = 28,05; DP = 8,04), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (77,3%). Os níveis de estresse e depressão dos participantes foram moderados. Além disso, o estresse frente à COVID-19 apresentou-se como um bom preditor da depressão, de modo que quanto mais as pessoas se sentiram estressadas diante do tema, maior era a probabilidade de apresentarem sintomas depressivos. Diante disso, discute-se sobre a importância da manutenção da saúde mental da população.

Published: August 2023

Hexavalent chromium is an environmental pollutant considered to be an endocrine-disrupting metal. Selenium and zinc are essential trace elements, known to play a crucial role in thyroid homeostasis. The purpose of the current work is to investigate the effects of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O7) administrated subcutaneously (s.c) on the 3rd day of pregnancy in preimplanted rats by using graded doses (10, 50, 100 mg/kg, s.c) or K₂Cr₂O7 (10 mg/kg, s.c) in association with Selenium (0.3 mg/kg, s.c) and Zinc chloride (20 mg/kg, s.c). The hormonal profile, apoptosis induction and histological changes in thyroids were evaluated. Our main findings showed that K₂Cr₂O7 promoted hypothyroidism with a significant decrease in plasma T3 and T4 levels (P<0.001), while plasma TSH level increased significantly (P<0.001), in addition, a hypertrophy of the thyroid was noted (P<0.01). Moreover, K2Cr2O7 (10 mg/kg, s.c) induced apoptosis via the caspase 3 pathway (P<0.001) and altered the gland histoarchitecture. The co-treatment with Se or ZnCl₂ has ameliorated the hormonal status and restored partially the thyroid histoarchitecture. We concluded that the administration of Selenium and Zinc can prevent the hazardous effects of potassium dichromate on the hormonal and histological status of the thyroid gland in preimplanted Wistar albino rats.

Rats were treated with a standardized dose of Dexamethasone for 14 days and the effect of HEMBR at the doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o. on plasma blood glucose level, serum triglyceride level, glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, levels of hepatic antioxidant enzymes (GSH, SOD and catalase), and body weight were observed. HEMBR showed a significant decrease in plasma glucose and serum triglyceride levels (p < 0.01) at the dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg, p.o. and also stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle. The levels of antioxidant enzymes, GSH, SOD, and catalase were significantly increased (p < 0.01). Hence it can be concluded that Biophytum reinwardtii may prove to be effective in the treatment of Type-II Diabetes mellitus owing to its ability to decrease insulin resistance.

Renesansowa koncepcja duszy w ujęciu H. C. Agrippy von Nettesheim na podstawie "De occulta philosophia"
Authors: Cieślik Tomasz Sebastian
Published: August 2023

In my article I present the conception of soul of Cornelius Agrippa based on his greatest work "De occulta philosophia" which is a kid of summa of natural and occult philosophy, hermeticism, cabbala, astrology, humanistic theology, medicine, and alchemy. Henricus Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim (1486-1535) was a famous renaissance philosopher, cabalist, astrologer and theologian whose contribution in renaissance philosophical deliberations is significant but still unknown in Poland. Agrippa's notion of soul is very important for his own project of new pure magic which is described in his opus magnum. Therefore agrippian magic contains and perfects three kinds of knowledge: phisics, mathematics and theology. In the similary way Agrippa divided whole Cosmos in to three worlds. First and the most inferior world of the threefold Cosmos is the world of four elements of substance in Aristotle's meaning. The second one is the world of celestial bodies which comprises planets, stars and laws that rule them, and which is above the first world. The third one is the divine world of angels, soul of the world with platonic ideas and other intelligibilities. The three kinds of knowledge which Agrippa also called "regulative philosophy" are very useful for human in studying of each of three agrippian worlds. From this point of view also notion of humanity is very important for Agrippa. By the similarity between the macro- and microcosmos which appear in Agrippa's thought also human soul is threefold. Thus human soul contains in hierarchical order three parts viz.: idolum (which is the most inferior), ratio (being the middle part) and mens (which is on highest position in human soul). Each part has its own function which can be fully activated by God's light received by mens. In describing of functions of threefold soul Agrippa receives inspirations from prior philosophers like Aristotle, Awicenna or Awerroes. Another cause which emphases a great role of the agrippian conception of the soul is its connection with oryginal concepts of phantasy and threefold melancholy which is similar to the treepartite soul. Those two concepts are the examples of the influences of celestial powers which source is in stars and planets.
Zarys teologii stoickiej
Authors: Jarzębiak Joanna
Published: August 2023

The paper aims at outlining the main points in stoic theology: Stoics' attitude to the Greek mythology, the proofs for god's existence, the concept of divinity and the characteristics of god according to the names given to him within the Stoic physics. Finally, the concepts of fate and providence are mentioned as they are strictly linked to the concept of god-logos and lead to most important problems of human freedom and theodicy. The paper does not include all the discussions held by the stoics and their opponents over the question of divinity, as they were extant and well elaborated; it proves, though, the unique position theology has in Stoic philosophy as the one to explain the very sense of human existence and the world.

Tunel Ego. Naukowe badanie umysłu a mit świadomego „ja”.: Wydanie drugie poprawione
Authors: Metzinger Thomas
Published: August 2023

Czy można doświadczać życia w wielu światach naraz? Czy maszyny mogą posiadać sztuczną świadomość? W jaki sposób działa empatia i poznanie społeczne? Thomas Metzinger przedstawia oryginalną koncepcję świadomości i osoby, stworzoną na podstawie współczesnych wyników badań prowadzonych często przy jego udziale w wielu dziedzinach – od psychologii i neuronauk po sztuczną inteligencję. Odwołuje się zarówno do codziennych doświadczeń dostępnych każdemu, jak i do odmiennych stanów świadomości generowanych farmakologicznie oraz powstających w kontakcie z nowoczesną technologią. Metzinger kładzie szczególny nacisk na etyczne aspekty stanów świadomości.
Muhammad and the Origin of Islam in the Byzantine-Slavic Literary Context. A Bibliographical History: No. XLI
Authors: Brzozowska Zofia A. , Leszka Mirosław J. , Wolińska Teresa
Published: August 2023

The presented publication is a type of bibliographic dictionary, compiled by an interdisciplinary team of authors (Byzantynists and Paleoslavists), containing an overview of medieval texts referring to the person of Muhammad, the Arabs, and the circumstances of the birth of Islam, which were known in the Slavia Orthodoxa area (especially in its eastern part, i.e. in Rus’). Therefore, it presents the works written in the Church Slavic language between the 9th and the mid-16th centuries. As the Old Rus’ discourse on Islam was shaped under the overwhelming influence of Byzantine literature, the majority of the presented sources are Byzantine texts from the 6th–14th centuries, translated into the literary language of the Orthodox Slavs. The reader will also find here a discussion on several relics, originally created in other languages of the Christian East (Syriac, Arabic) and the West (Latin), which – through the Greek – were assimilated on the Slavic ground. This book aims to fill a gap in previous studies on inter-religious polemics in the Middle Ages, which has usually focused on Christian-Muslim cultural relations, analyzing Greek and Latin texts or the works written in one of the Middle Eastern languages, almost completely ignoring the Church Slavic heritage. It is worth noting that a number of the texts presented here (as well as Slavic translations of Byzantine sources) have not been published so far. The information on them, provided in this monograph, is therefore the result of research conducted directly on the manuscript material. This publication represents a very high professional level. It is a unique, pioneering achievement that raises the level of knowledge about the reception of Old Rus’ literature until the mid-16th century in the context of what had been written about the prophet Muhammad and the birth of Islam in the 7th century. The discourse is very specific, consistent, diligent, meticulous, yet not “verbose”. The analysis of the cited literature clearly shows that the state of research on individual works is well known to the authors and that this review includes the most recent findings.

Irit Amiel. Życie
Authors: Tomczok Marta
Published: August 2023

Chociaż głównym tematem tej książki jest życie Irit Amiel w znaczeniu opowieści, a więc splatania się okoliczności czysto biologicznych z charakterystycznym dla życia zapisywaniem informacji, to jednak warto uczynić zastrzeżenie, że najważniejszym aspektem tego życia jest ludzkie wnętrze. Dopiero ono, jak poucza Abraham Joshua Heschel, różnicuje ludzi. To, co wyniosłam na powierzchnię, miało pokazać, że w odróżnieniu od czystego bios, opartego na żądzy i pragnieniach, ludzka egzystencja ma sens, a najbardziej odpowiednią formą do tego, by ów sens pokazać, jest literatura.
Tuwim. Pęknięcie
Authors: Kuczyńska-Koschany Katarzyna
Published: August 2023

Monografia jest opowieścią o Julianie Tuwimie (1894–1953), wybitnym poecie, twórcy znakomitych wierszy dziecięcych, Żydzie polskim – podzieloną na trzy zasadnicze odsłony zatytułowane: dziecięcość wyobraźni, żydowskość losu, obywatelskie (nie)posłuszeństwo. To próba nowego, innego niż dotychczas, czytania Tuwima i bardzo wyraźne odnowienie jego obecności w polskiej świadomości oraz wyobraźni zbiorowej. Nicią przewodnią książki pozostaje myślenie o poecie, bibliofilu, tłumaczu, miłośniku osobliwości, autorze tekstów kabaretowych – czyli (jak sam siebie nazywał) „słowowiercy” – jako o twórcy, który doświadczył tragicznego losu życiowego i z tym doświadczeniem egzystencji odważnie, poetycko się zmagał. Tytuł monografii dotyka także choroby Tuwima i jego śmierci, tematu pęknięcia w poezji i dramatycznego losu Żyda polskiego. Anakruzą uczyniono partię poświęconą szczególnej predylekcji autora Balu w Operze do postaci Chrystusa i do Fryderyka Chopina. Wśród kwestii naświetlonych na nowo, choć istniejących już w literaturze przedmiotu, trzeba wymienić: rewolucyjność w kontekście recepcji Rimbauda, re-lekturę poety jako piszącego dziecięco, fragmenty o miastach, próbę interpretacji manifestu My, Żydzi polscy. Pozycję wzbogacono o niepublikowane fragmenty rękopiśmiennych zapisków siostry poety, Ireny Tuwim – także poetki i uznanej tłumaczki – oraz inne, niewykorzystane w dotychczasowych ujęciach monograficznych, źródła.
