Authors: Thangavel Muthusamy , Vijayakumar Chalini , Balakrishnan Deepalakkshmi
Published: December 2024

Circular RNA (circRNA) emerges as a significant sub-type of single-stranded non-coding RNA within colorectal cancer (CRC), boasting high abundance. Delving into research, numerous pivotal roles of circRNA in therapeutic contexts within CRC have come to light, encompassing areas such as metastasis, apoptosis, and proliferation. Moreover, circRNAs exhibit significant involvement in the advancement of therapeutic strategies, demonstrating unique correlations with tumor staging, size and overall survival rates in colorectal cancer. These associations position circRNAs as potential candidates for both anticancer interventions and prognostic biomarkers. Among all cancers, colorectal cancer is the second most prevalent cause of cancer-related death and the third most common disease to be diagnosed worldwide. To gain deeper insights into the impact of circRNA-based therapeutic developments on CRC and its progression, this comprehensive review aims to synthesize the roles of specific therapeutic applications targeting circRNAs in CRC. It also aims to evaluate circRNAs' potential as useful therapeutic targets and prognostic indicators in the context of colorectal cancer. The overarching goal of this review is to illuminate the landscape of therapeutic strategies and aid in clinical decision-making processes related to CRC. By elucidating the intricate interplay between circRNAs and therapeutic interventions, this review seeks to contribute to the advancement of therapeutic modalities and improve patient outcomes in the realm of colorectal cancer management.

Prediction of the Temperature Field Development in Large Heat Storage Tanks for Integration in Network Simulation
Authors: Narusavicius Bogdan , Koch Franziska , Matthees Anja , Stange Peter , Rühling Karin
Published: December 2024

Integrating an increasing amount of renewable energy into district heating systems requires thermal energy storages. For the planning and operation of the whole system valid and powerful storage models are essential for implementation in e. g. thermo-hydraulic network simulations and operational optimisation tools. The modelling of large tank thermal energy storages (TTES) up to 60,000 m³ can be insufficient by using a simple energy balance model as it does not provide information about the temperature profile. The detailed model called FreeTTES is capable of predicting the temperature distribution inside a large atmospheric TTES. This model simplifies fluid dynamic processes by assuming horizontal homogeneity and analyses them only in vertical direction. The analytical fluid mechanics approach is combined with numerical, measurement data-based approaches. The validation of the model is performed using DTS (distributed temperature sensing) data

Literary Incest: Moralism or Morality?
Authors: Castelli Alberto
Published: December 2024

Why is there an incest taboo? People avoid doing what conventions disapprove of their doing, and conventions are dictated by some sort of innate moral good, a moral inclination compatible with the referent kinship system. Essentially, incest avoidance is founded on deep psychological needs within domestic dynamics. However, far from being an anathema, incestuous behaviors in literary fiction become a natural inclination whose avoidance is to be thought less in moral terms and more as an evolutionary adaptation. Implicit in the argument is the suggestion that inbreeding is not about a rational choice but pure instincts that long precede societal taboos.
The Emergence of a Sephardi Intelligentsia in Haifa During the Late Ottoman Period
Authors: Naor Moshe
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the emergence of a circle of Sephardi intellectuals in Haifa in the final years of the Ottoman era and examines their characteristics as Arabic-speaking Jews, who engaged in both educational and political activities. Among other aspects, the article will consider the background to the emergence of this circle among families of Arabic-speaking migrants from the Maghreb. The members of the Sephardi intelligentsia also grew up in a shared Jewish–Arab space and were educated at the school of the Alliance Israélite Universelle, which in itself served as a shared framework for Jews and Arabs. The members of the Sephardi intelligentsia in Haifa continued their training at the Alliance’s Teachers’ Seminary in Paris and engaged in educational work alongside public and political activities as representatives of the Sephardi public. The connection between their Jewish–Arab cultural identity and their educational and political activities was particularly apparent during the transition to the British Mandate. The spotlight on the Sephardi intelligentsia of Haifa thus offers a new perspective on the place of Arabic-speaking Jews in the history of Haifa and on the development of intercommunal relations in this city.

Hybridization of Religious Institutions as Indicator of Spiritual and Moral Crisis
Authors: Barakhvostov P. A.
Published: December 2024

In this paper, the phenomenon of social crisis is studied within the framework of the institutional approach supplemented with the theory of institutional matrices (IM). It is shown that the crisis of the social system constitutes an irreparable disbalance in the institutional matrix, which leads to its inability to develop along the established trajectory. The existence of a historically invariant indicator of the crisis of the sociocultural subsystem has been established - the hybridization of religious institutions. This phenomenon is discussed in detail using the example of crises during the Middle Ages in Byzantium and Western Europe. Christianity, when in crisis, is determined to face, independently of the matrix type, hybridization with pre-Christian practices and elements of the religions of the societies in contact (in particular, Islam). The purpose of such hybridization, initiated either from the above (by the authorities) or from the below (by the grass roots), is in strengthening the dominant (determining the social identity of society) or the complementary (performing the compensatory function) institutions in the institutional matrix. It is shown that upon strengthening the dominant institutions in the institutional matrix with the aim of overcoming the crisis the complementary institutions cannot be totally eradicated. Besides, the formed institutional hybrid is more sustainable and its formation helps to solve the crisis in the long run only when the process of hybridization takes into account the geographical factors of the environment in which society lives. The hybridization, studied in this paper, indicates that religions in their development interpenetrated each other much more than is commonly recognized, and the experience of such hybridization is the most solid foundation for fruitful interfaith dialogue.

Published: December 2024

The article contains a number of little-studied facts about the disgusting variety of Russian skopchestvo, which came to Russia from Greece and Bulgaria. It shows the spread of this religious culture in the 17th-18th centuries across the territory of Simbirsk and other provinces, deprived of the restraining framework of Christian commandments, trampling on the institutions of marriage, family values, morality, etc. The genesis, circumstances of the emergence and reasons for the spread of sectarianism and the Khlyst-skopchestvo process as a whole are shown, fragments of a meeting of the Ethnography Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society (1865) are presented, held on the example of the “Alatyr ship” or “Miliutina” faith as an antithesis to “Latinism”. The need to understand universal human values taking into account the skopchestvo ritual sphere of the Middle Volga region in the 17th century is substantiated. and religious dogmas of the past to solve modern problems of spiritual and moral education of the younger generation, the formation of strong social immunity, the formatting of the internal spiritual forces of society that have remained outside the field of vision of society and the scientific community of Russia for the settlement of future regional conflicts.
Information and Psychological Weapons in Political Discourse as an Indicator of Multivectorism
Authors: Zaripov R. I.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the typology and functioning of information and psychological weapons as an indicator that allows identifying the directions of international interaction, how they are modeled in the public opinion of a particular state, the readiness of its political elites to interact in several directions. Information and psychological weapons are messages aimed at discrediting the target of influence by forming its negative image and/or causing reputational damage to its fundamental characteristics, including the use of disinformation, questionable (unverified) information, destructive attitudes and other techniques. Depending on the selected means of influence and the goals of the communicator, the author identifies five levels of weapons: without the use of emotive and/or conflict-generating elements (first-level weapons), with the use of emotive and/ or conflict-generating elements (second-level weapons), with the use of direct destructive attitudes, disinformation or overwhelming emotionality of the negative spectrum (thirdlevel weapons), a message in the interests of achieving military goals (fourth-level weapons), a message in the interests of massive information suppression of the enemy (fifth-level weapons). Based on the analysis of the distribution of information and psychological weapons in political discourse by levels and targets, it is possible to measure and evaluate the actual attitude towards Russia on the part of political elites of foreign countries, who explicitly and implicitly broadcast their position through affiliated communicators.

Published: December 2024

Neonatal chylothorax is a potentially fatal respiratory condition caused by a congenital or traumatic etiology. Conventional therapies, such as fasting, total parenteral nutrition, and intravenous octreotide, are generally successful in such cases; however, more invasive therapeutic measures, such as pleurodesis, should be considered in refractory cases. This case report presents two preterm infants with refractory chylothorax who were non-responsive to conventional treatment but were successfully managed using hypertonic glucose pleurodesis. The first case was that of a female infant born at 24+5 weeks of gestation (585 g) and diagnosed with postsurgical chylothorax at 68 days of life. Even after the initiation of fasting and intravenous octreotide administration, pleural drainage did not reduce. Therefore, the patient underwent three intermittent procedures of 50% glucose pleurodesis, which resulted in the resolution of the chylothorax and subsequent chest tube removal after 37 days. The second case was a female infant born at 34+6 weeks (3,040 g), who was diagnosed with congenital chylothorax immediately after birth. Fasting and intravenous octreotide failed to show any clinical effects; therefore, the patient underwent pleurodesis for 3 consecutive days. After the procedure, the amount of pleural drainage substantially decreased, and the chest tube was removed after 14 days. In both cases, a temporal relation between pleurodesis and chylothorax resolution was observed, suggesting that hypertonic glucose pleurodesis may be an effective and safe alternative for treating refractory chylothorax in preterm infants with minimal side effects. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal protocol for this procedure and to compare its efficacy with that of other pleurodesis agents.
El cuerpo humano como mercancía pornográfica en La sociedad de la transparencia
Authors: Saavedra Pérez Boris Osvaldo
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo realiza un análisis filosófico de la concepción del cuerpo humano, entendido como mercancía pornográfica en La sociedad de la transparencia de Byung-Chul Han, quien advierte cómo la intimidad ha sido afectada debido a la fetichización de la sobreexposición, lo que se evidencia principalmente en la desnudez del cuerpo como efecto de la influencia de lo pornográfico. De ahí que, como objetivo general, se expondrá el proceso de profanación estético-antropológico que ha sufrido el cuerpo humano en la tardomodernidad, impulsado por el sistema capitalista al convertirlo en una mercancía de consumo y que además, lo exhibe para efectuar el ideal neoliberal de la transparencia. Asimismo, lo pornográfico se equipara al Dataísmo, puesto que fragmenta la identidad del sujeto por medio del régimen de la digitalización, lo que acrecienta la crisis de lo humano.
El principio de igualdad en el acceso a la educación filosófica en el pensamiento platónico
Authors: Cruz-Guerrero Dany Erick
Published: December 2024

Estudios recientes formalizan los principales problemas que la filosofía platónica discierne cuando expone el proyecto de educación filosófica para la ciudad justa que, desde sus bases fundamentales, desarrolla la República. ¿Cuáles son el sentido y el horizonte del proyecto formativo-filosófico platónico? Para Platón, la educación filosófica de la clase gobernante emerge como problema nuclear para que el Estado ideal, aquel gobernado con justicia, sea viable y perviva. En esa línea, los estudios preguntan si las mujeres acceden, y de qué modo, a la educación filosófica en el proyecto platónico. En coherencia con este planteamiento crítico-problemático, este trabajo reflexiona sobre el principio de diferenciación-especificación de la enseñanza filosófica, explica cómo surge el discurso sobre la mujer en la propuesta formativo-filosófica platónica y, finalmente, explicita el principio de igualdad-equidad en el acceso a la formación filosófica de los talentos naturalmente dotados para la filosofía. Demuestro que la crítica discute el alcance del discurso sobre la mujer en el proyecto filosófico-pedagógico de Platón.

The Acquisition of Polysemous Words in Maritime English from a Cognitive Perspective
Authors: Huang Xiang , Guo Yana
Published: December 2024

The acquisition of English polysemous words is an important theory regarding category division in cognitive linguistics. It emphasizes that the boundaries of categories are fuzzy, the status of members within a category is unequal, with a distinction between the center and the periphery. This paper conducts an in-depth exploration of the acquisition process of English polysemous words from the perspective of cognitive linguistics, analyzes the cognitive connections and evolution mechanisms among the various senses within polysemous words. By introducing the prototype category theory and metaphor theory, this paper reveals the cognitive motives for the generation and development of polysemous words and explores the applications of these theories in English vocabulary teaching. Research shows that the acquisition of English polysemous words not only depends on the improvement of memory, but more importantly, it links known concepts with unknown concepts through cognitive means such as metaphor and metonymy, thereby expanding and enriching the meaning network of vocabulary.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the basic characteristics that are the basis for the organization of public procurement in the field of agriculture. Due to the fact that the formation of institutions as a system of organization, property as a system of law and the factor of human resources are key in the organization of public procurement, the study of these parameters is a key issue on the solution of which the public procurement system can be built in the future. Materials and methods. When writing the article, a systematic scientific approach, a dialectical research method, regulatory materials, monographic studies and scientific articles were used. Results. The article examines the approaches of various authors in the context of the history, theory and practice of institutional transformations, the formation and implementation of property rights, and the development of human resources. The qualitative characteristics of the public procurement process are noted. The author's position has been formed on the need for a symbiosis of three key parameters of the public procurement sector in the agro-industrial complex. Discussion and conclusions. The conducted research allowed us to conclude that the possibilities of public procurement in the field of agro-industrial complex are based on three key parameters that are necessary in a comprehensive implementation.
Interação discursiva e subjetivação nas condições contemporâneas da encenação literária marginal
Authors: Matos Edmar Ferreira de Matos , Vargas Nascimento Jarbas
Published: December 2024

No Brasil, nos anos de 1970, surgiu um tipo de produção, cujas vozes definem um posicionamento transgressor particularizado por aspectos da periferia, seu lugar de fala. Desde então, escritores mostram suas condições de vida e os problemas dos sujeitos afastados dos centros urbanos. Tais porta-vozes distanciam-se de uma escrita prestigiada. É a Literatura Marginal, cuja expressão investe uma identidade própria, evidenciando uma condição marginalizada ao transgredir as normas sociais como modo de resistência. Nesta direção, nosso artigo estuda as manifestações dos sujeitos na encenação literária Solar dos príncipes, de Marcelino Freire, que problematiza as tensões de vida na periferia. Verificamos como os sujeitos se inscrevem na cenografia literária e posicionam-se em relação à violência, à interação discursiva em meio à complexidade de uma sociedade marcada por questões étnico-raciais e à desigualdade. Para isso, recorremos aos fundamentos da Análise do Discurso, proposta por Maingueneau (1993, 2015, 2018), no qual Linguística e Literatura dialogam.. Autores que discutem a Literatura Marginal: Ferréz (2005), Schollhammer (2009), Patrocínio (2013), Tennina (2017), Matos (2020, 2023) e Matos e Nascimento (2022) complementam nossa discussão. Os resultados apontam uma literatura de resistência frente ao inconformismo e às desigualdades socioeconômicas e culturais daqueles que vivem na periferia.
Papel, caneta e um mic na minha mão: o rap como forma em “Fábrica de Fazer Vilão"
Authors: Souza Alan Brasileiro de , Dias Filipe Rosa dos Santos
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar o conto “Fábrica de fazer vilão” de Ferréz (2009), observando o modo como são construídas no texto referências intermidiáticas (Elleström, 2017; Rajewsky, 2012) entre literatura e música a partir da incorporação de elementos da palavra cantada e rítmica do rap (Ferreira, 2020; Hankin, 2021; Oliveira, 2019). Tal estratégia estética é responsável por tensionar os limites da escrita literária em direção às formas periféricas de elaboração narrativa, criando, dessa maneira, fissuras na forma tradicional do conto literário. O texto apresenta a história de um narrador-personagem jovem e negro, morador de um bairro da periferia de São Paulo, que vê o bar da sua mãe ser alvo de uma abordagem policial violenta. A ação descrita no entrecho é breve, porém o uso da técnica do flow, ao ritmar o relato, potencializa a leitura do enredo e imprime no leitor o medo e o terror que a ação policial provoca nos personagens da trama. Na obra de Ferréz, a violência policial afeta ainda outro aspecto da subjetividade do protagonista, aqui entendido como uma alegoria do produtor de arte periférico, que dentro do contexto descrito vê-se continuamente entre a criação artística e o peso da realidade que o circunda.
Recortar e colar um mundo novo: subversão e criatividade nos versos das poetas marginais-periféricas Vênus e Abelha
Authors: Silva Bruna Stéphane Oliveira Mendes da
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa o processo criativo de duas poetas e slammers marginais-periféricas, Vênus Sunêv e Regiane Abelha, a partir do conceito de colagem. Baseando-se em pressupostos teóricos de Antoine Compagnon, Marjorie Perloff, Linda Hutcheon, Michel Butor, Elza Adamowicz e Gérard Genette, o estudo explora como essas poetas recortam e colam fragmentos de textos pré-existentes para criar novos poemas. Vênus, com o uso recorrente de citações diretas, recontextualiza trechos de diversas fontes para abordar questões sociais e feministas. Abelha, por outro lado, emprega a paródia, modificando sutilmente determinados textos para inseri-los em seu próprio contexto, muitas vezes destacando questões raciais e de classe. O artigo analisa exemplos específicos dos trabalhos de cada poeta, destacando as estratégias de colagem e as cicatrizes deixadas por esse processo criativo. No geral, o estudo oferece insights valiosos sobre a intertextualidade na literatura contemporânea, mais especificamente na poesia marginal-periférica, em circulação sobretudo nos slams de poesia e saraus de periferia.
Literatura Marginal & resistência em tempos de ditadura militar: entrevista de Cleber de Oliveira e Patrícia Marcondes de Barros a Nicolas Behr
Authors: Oliveira Cleber José de , Barros Patrícia Marcondes de
Published: December 2024

O mote temático do Dossiê em suas duas edições destaca como a linguagem poética, inserida em um contexto histórico e linguístico, pode ser considerada um gesto de resistência e subversão ao sistema instituído. Na primeira edição, trazemos uma entrevista com o poeta cuiabano Nikolaus von Behr, mais conhecido no meio literário como Nicolas Behr. Em 1974, ele se mudou para Brasília, onde lançou seu primeiro livro, Iogurte com Farinha. Em 1978, Behr foi preso e processado pelo DOPS (Departamento de Ordem Política e Social) sob a acusação de "porte de material pornográfico", uma alegação infundada que se referia, na verdade, aos seus próprios livros. Após um processo judicial, ele foi absolvido no ano seguinte, em 1979. Nos anos 1980, Behr ingressou no setor de publicidade como redator e se engajou no movimento ecológico, trabalhando na FUNATURA – Fundação Pró-Natureza, onde permaneceu até 1990. Desde então, ele se dedica à produção de espécies nativas do cerrado por meio da Pau-Brasília viveiro eco.loja.
O poeta faz parte da geração literária marginal dos anos 1970, também conhecida como a geração mimeógrafo, poesia jovem, ou pós-tropicalista, entre outros estereótipos designados a uma produção desvinculada do circuito mercadológico e acadêmico. Este grupo de poetas rompeu com os sistemas comercial e ditatorial da época, garantindo assim, a liberdade de expressão que ansiavam. Esta produção poética esteve intimamente atrelada ao movimento de contracultura que emergiu na Europa e nos Estados Unidos no início da década de 1960 e ganhou visibilidade no Brasil na década de 1970. Nesta entrevista, Nicolas compartilha sua trajetória na poesia, vivida desde os anos 1970 e nos fala sobre os projetos atuais, que incluem palestras, cursos sobre poesia e literatura, e seu envolvimento com as causas ambientais.
