A rare case of aggressive primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma: A case report
Authors: Haritha V S , Prakash Chandra , Jain Rajesh
Published: December 2021

Synovial sarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumour which mostly affects young adults and is mostly seen in extremities. Primary synovial sarcoma arising from the lung is rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of all lung carcinomas. Most commonly it arises from the lung followed by pleura and mediastinum. Primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma is an extremely aggressive malignant tumour that can invade adjacent organs and give distant metastasis. Histologically it is of two main types – monophasic and biphasic. IHC is a must for diagnosis following clinical examination and imaging. Here we report a case of an elderly male with right lung mass lesion infiltrating the visceral and mediastinal pleura. PET – computerized tomography (CT) guided biopsy was s/o synovial sarcoma monophasic type which was further confirmed by IHC. The multimodality treated for this includes wide resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Synovial sarcoma is relatively chemosensitive though it is considered as a high grade tumour with a poor prognosis. Because of the advanced stage of the disease our patient was not a candidate for surgery and was taken up for chemotherapy. He had a survival of 6 months but had succumbed due to non – cancer related cause.

Restrictions in labor law: theory of the issue and practice of application
Authors: Lushnikova Marina V. , Dzhidzhavadze Levan G.
Published: December 2021

The article proposes the author’s approach to the definition of legal restrictions as a special technical and legal technique, which is the limits fixed in laws or other normative legal sources, the boundaries of behavior, entailing the narrowing of the subject’s powers. Sectoral features characteristic of restrictions in labor law are derived. The issue of correlation of the concept of «restriction» with other related concepts: «prohibition», «exceptions», «differentiation», «discrimination» in labor law is investigated.
The content and specifics of professionally important qualities of nurses
Authors: Ekaterinina Maria V. , Karpova Elena V.
Published: December 2021

The article presents the results of theoretical analysis and empirical studies of the problem of determining and explaining the complex of professionally important qualities of one socially significant type of activity - the activity of nurses. Based on the principle of complementary analysis of literary data and materials of the author’s research, the main professionally important qualities of a nurse are identified and characterized, the main of which are attentional abilities in general and switchability, and concentration of attention, in particular; communicative and organizational abilities; empathy, self-control, as well as internality, which is the basis of an even more generalized quality-responsibility. These qualities are interpreted on the basis of the synthesis of personnel profile analysis approach and competence approaches. Special attention is paid to the logic and history of the development of ideas on this problem, as well as the explication of the difficulties and unresolved problems that it has led to at the present time and possible ways to minimize them.

Authors: Arutynov Anton G. , Kozlova Natalia N. , Solnyshkov Vkadislav S.
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the peculiarities of the course of election campaigns in the municipal representative bodies of the cities of Tver and Kostroma. The article is part of a larger study on the peculiarities of the course of election campaigns in the capitals or administrative centers of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the Central Federal District, which focuses on the problems of three subjects and compares the research material from these subjects with general district trends and features. Tver, Belgorod and Kostroma represent a wide geographical range and three peculiar examples of the course of election campaigns in large municipalities. The study revealed such common features as low turnout, rather weak competitiveness, the use of black PR and other shadow technologies, the traditional representation of lobbying structures in municipal parliaments, as well as the mobilization of "parliamentary opposition parties" and small parties at the last election campaigns in the elections of the type we study. The article acquires particular importance within the framework of the work of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (and subsequent legislative instances) on Draft Law No. 1256381-7 «On general principles of the organization of public power in the subjects of the Russian Federation», where special attention is supposed to be attributed to the order of election and aspects of regulation of the work of municipal parliaments of the capitals of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
Simulation and Style Design of Bridge Stability Supported on Large Diameter Piles
Authors: Aziz Hussein Yousif , Sultan Hussein Kareem , Abbas Basim Jabbar
Published: December 2021

In this paper, two types of bridges were taken to carry out the analysis and design according to the AASHTO Code and the SAP2000 program, in the beginning, work is done using AASHTO Code and both bridges are designed and analyzed, the first one was the suspension bridge and the second was a bridge supported in the pier region only. The two models, 16 piles with a diameter of 3.8 m were carried out on each pier. After that, the two models are analyzed and designed according to the SAP2000 program to calculate moment, shear and deflection for both bridges. So that the two models are compared based on torque, shear, impact loads and deflection to find out which one of the two models is more suitable for use in a long girder span. The comparison between the AASHTO Code and the SAP2000 program is also made based on the loading to show its effect on the stability design. The AASHTO code and the SAP2000 program are the most appropriate when analyzing and designing for two models. There is a slight difference in moment where the proportions were approximately (6-9)%. As for shear for both methods, the values for the suspension bridge were greater than those of the supported bridge. The difference was about (27-26)%.
Forward Kinematic and Jacobian Matrix for the Prosthetic Human Finger Actuated by Links
Authors: Naeem Samara Munaem , Faidh-Allah Majid H.
Published: December 2021

The most important function of a prosthetic hand is their ability to perform tasks in a manner similar to a natural hand, so it is necessary to perform kinematic analysis to determine the performance and the ability of the prosthetic human finger design to work normally and smoothly when it's drive by two sets of links that embedded in its structure and pulled by a servomotor, so the Denvit-Hartenberg method was used to analyse the forward kinematics for the prosthetic finger joints to deduction the trajectory of the fingertip and the velocity of the joints was computed by using the Jacobian matrix. The prosthetic finger was modelled by the Solidwork - 2018 program and the results of kinematics were verified using MATLAB. The analyses that were conducted on the design showed that the designed prosthetic finger has the ability to perform movements and meets the functional requirements for which it is designed.
Supporting toddlers as competent story navigators across home and early childhood contexts
Authors: White Amanda , Padtoc Irene
Published: December 2021

Young children learn how to communicate with others through their everyday interactions and social relationships. In this article, we argue that stories about personal experiences are a valuable context for exploring how 1-year-old toddlers learn to engage with others across their family homes and early childhood settings. We demonstrate how Lexie, aged 16 months, communicated multimodally as she contributed to a personal story about her experience of eating lunch. Lexie’s competence as a storyteller was supported by a teacher who shared her cultural background and home language. Lexie’s story highlights the critical role of teachers in supporting story interactions in attuned and reciprocal ways that allow the competencies of 1-year-old toddlers as learners and communicators to be recognised and extended.
Visionary women: Sustaining the language and culture in Samoan early childhood centres
Authors: Togiaso Joeana
Published: December 2021

This article focuses on the powerful role of Samoan women sustaining the language and culture in Aotearoa. It presents findings from my Master’s thesis that explored the experiences of seven Samoan women who were involved in the establishment of three a’oga amata (Samoan early childhood centres) in Christchurch (Togiaso, 2017). This qualitative study had a conceptual framework of Pacific epistemologies including fa’a Samoa (a Samoan way of life) and teu le vā (to look after spaces). Questionnaires, semistructured interviews, and autoethnography were methods used. Findings revealed that Samoan women overcame major barriers and challenges in setting up unique spaces of learning that became places of belonging and cultural transmission for children, families, and the community. However, colonial incursions continue to be barriers in sustaining the Samoan language, culture, and fa’a Samoa.
Japanese children’s experiences in New Zealand early childhood education settings
Authors: Takemoto Madoka
Published: December 2021

Early childhood education (ECE) settings in Aotearoa New Zealand are becoming increasingly ethnically superdiverse. This article draws on a research project that examined the cultural challenges that Japanese children sometimes encounter in New Zealand ECE contexts which was undertaken for my Doctor of Education. Data were analysed using a conceptual framework developed from five key notions that apply to third-culture individuals (TCI). The experiences of one child in this project and the tensions he experienced negotiating his self-identity as a Japanese child are described and their impact on his sense of belonging to the group of children at the centre is considered. The findings revealed that, despite the good intentions of teachers, the child’s Japanese cultural identity, and his attempts to share it, were frequently challenged by his teachers’ lack of cultural knowledge about Japan. I argue that these experiences resulted in complex situations for both the Japanese child and his teachers.
Przeszłość w muzeach – dwa modele reprezentacji. Analiza porównawcza Europejskiego Centrum Solidarności i Muzeum II Wojny Światowej w Gdańsku
Authors: Ziębińska-Witek Anna
Published: December 2021

Autorka krytycznie analizuje i dekonstruuje narracje muzealne dwóch gdańskich muzeów historycznych. Materiałem badawczym są wystawy muzealne Europejskiego Centrum Solidarności i Muzeum II Wojny Światowej interpretowane zgodnie z metodologią badań wizualnych (analiza kompozycyjna, analiza treści, analiza obiektów materialnych, analiza znaczeń). Na tej podstawie autorka wyodrębnia dwa podstawowe modele kreowania wizji przeszłości na wystawach muzealnych: romantyczny i krytyczny. Mimo że obie instytucje reprezentują nowoczesny nurt w muzeologii, kreując „doświadczenie” i angażując publiczność emocjonalnie, różnią się od siebie zasadniczo zarówno w sposobie opisu rzeczywistości jak i postrzegania funkcji muzeum jako placówki kulturotwórczej.
Opór pamięci i fotografie kultury historycznej. Nekropolie Armii Czerwonej
Authors: Cembrzyńska Patrycja
Published: December 2021

Po wejściu w życie ustawy o zakazie propagowania komunizmu (Dz. U z 2016 r. poz. 744, z 2017 r. poz. 1389, 2495) wróciły spory o pomniki Armii Czerwonej zbudowane na ziemiach polskich. Co należy, a co nie do naszego dziedzictwa kulturowego? Co nie przystaje do wyobrażeń o nim? Problem „kłopotliwego dziedzictwa” autorka pokazała na przykładzie cmentarzy Armii Czerwonej. Analizuje ich rolę w propagandzie komunistycznej i przedstawia podłoże kontrowersji, jakie po 1989 roku powstały wokół miejsc pamięci dedykowanych żołnierzom radzieckim. Całość rozważań zamyka omówienie zdjęć z serii Architektura symetryczna Wojciecha Wilczyka, przedstawiających nekropolie Armii Czerwonej. Przedmiotem uwagi stają się wyeksponowane na fotografiach elementy artykulacji architektonicznej i rzeźbiarskiej służące ideologicznej perswazji.
Muzeum narracyjne – muzeum doświadczeniowe. Uwagi terminologiczne
Authors: Kobielska Maria
Published: December 2021

Najpowszechniej używanym terminem dla klasyfikacji powstających w Polsce w ostatnim piętnastoleciu nowych muzeów historycznych określeniem jest „muzeum narracyjne”. W artykule autorka poddaje krytycznej analizie konkretne wystąpienia tej nazwy w dyskursie badań nad muzeami, porządkuje intuicje, jakie się w nich przejawiają, i opisuje genealogię terminu, co prowadzi do wniosku o jego niewielkiej operacyjności przy jednoczesnej potrzebie ugruntowanych analiz konkretnych narracji muzealnych. Rozważenie alternatywnych możliwości podejścia do tego problemu prowadzi do zaproponowania kategorii (intensywnego) doświadczenia jako dominanty sposobu konstrukcji współczesnych muzeów historycznych, które można by wobec tego skrótowo określić jako muzea doświadczeniowe.

Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a recession in Indonesia. Islamic philanthropy is a solution offered by Islamic economics in an effort to overcome the impact of economic turmoil due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Islamic philanthropic institutions need to innovate, one of which is through digitalizing aid-raising (zakat, infaq, alms). This study aims to determine public interest in the philanthropic movement and the role of digitalization of Islamic philanthropy in reducing the impact of the economic recession in society. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the object of research is the ACT (Quick Response Action) in Surakarta. The data obtained were sourced from observations, interviews and related literature studies. Research informants came from donation institutions (ACT), donors and recipients of donations. The results showed that during the pandemic, people's motivation to share increased. This positive interest, coupled with the role of digitalizing donation payments, has made it easier for the public to pay for donations. This momentum has proven to trigger the optimization of fundraising for humanitarian aid donations in helping affected communities, so as to reduce the potential for economic turmoil by maintaining the stability of people's purchasing power.

Reconsidering the Mandatory in Ontario Online Learning Policies
Authors: Robertson Lorayne , Muirhead Bill , Leatham Heather
Published: December 2021

In March 2019, the Ontario government announced that commencing in 2023-24, secondary school students (Grades 9-12) would be required to gain four of 30 graduation credits through online courses. At the time of the policy pronouncement, these four credits (or courses) would become the first mandatory online courses in Canadian K-12 education. The policy decision and process were challenged publicly, and the educational context changed quickly with the ensuing contingencies of the global pandemic. The policy was subsequently revised and, at present, Ontario requires two mandatory online secondary school credits for graduation, which is twice the requirement of any other North American jurisdiction. In this study, the researchers employ a critical policy analysis framework to examine the concept of mandatory online learning in Ontario through multiple temporal contexts. First, they examine Ontario’s mandatory online learning policy prior to the shutdown of Ontario schools during the 2020-2021 global pandemic. Next, they examine aspects of Ontario’s mandatory online learning policy in K-12 during the emergency remote learning phase of the pandemic. In the final section, the authors provide a retrospective analysis of the decisions around mandatory e-learning policy and explore policy options going forward for mandatory e-learning in the K-12 sector post-pandemic.
Participation in OER Creation: A Trajectory of Values
Authors: Meger Erin , Schwartz Michelle , Freeman Wendy
Published: December 2021

This paper provides an analysis of interviews with seven faculty members who engaged in creating Open textbooks funded by government grants at a university in Canada in 2018. Using four values—access and equity, community and connection, agency and ownership, and risk and responsibility—identified by Sinkinson (2018), McAndrew (2018), and Keyek-Fransen (2018), we traced the ways in which university faculty members’ understanding of Open changed through the process of Open Educational Resource creation. As a teaching support-focused unit, we explore ways to provide our faculty and instructors with meaningful opportunities to develop their Open pedagogy. These findings reconceive the way that Open Educational Practice can be promoted at our University and others. Instead of focusing solely on OER creation, our faculty started engaging in thinking through the different conceptions of Open educational practice and identifying which concepts resonated with them. By reframing the ways in which faculty thought about Open Educational Practices, we have been better able to address the ways in which we support them.

Authors: Выборная К.В.
Published: December 2021

Для оценки физического развития детского населения центрального региона РФ нами были обследованы дети младшего школьного возраста (7-10 лет, n=158). Проводили измерение основных антропометрических показателей, рассчитывали ИМТ и пропорциональность развития по массе тела в зависимости от его длины, измеряли состав тела с помощью биоимпедансного анализатора состава тела АВС-01. Установлено, что количество девочек с дефицитом массы тела уменьшается с возрастом (с 27,8 до 9,5%), а с избыточной массой тела возрастает (с 16,7 до 42,8%). На долю детей с ожирением приходится 10,4%, больше всего в группе 8 лет - 14,3%. Количество детей с нормальной массой тела составляет чуть больше половины всех обследованных 56,8% и с возрастом меняется незначительно. Количество мальчиков с дефицитом массы тела увеличивается с возрастом от 18,2 до 24,2%, а с избыточной МТ уменьшается от 45,4 до 33,3%. На долю детей с ожирением приходится 20,7%, распределение по группам примерно одинаковое. По сравнению с группой девочек в группе мальчиков больше детей с избыточной массой тела и ожирением. Соответственно, мальчиков с нормальной МТ меньше, чем в группе девочек. В группе мальчиков количество детей с недостатком МТ больше, чем у девочек, но в группе девочек с возрастом их количество уменьшается, а в группе мальчиков, наоборот, увеличивается. Показано, что 29,8% девочек и 44,6% мальчиков имеют избыточную массу тела, при этом 10,4% девочек и 20,7% мальчиков имеют ожирение, не достигнув еще 10 лет.

«THE MAKROPULOS AFFAIR» AND THE THINKING ABOUT LONGEVITY AND THE SENSE OF LIFE
Authors: Rohozha Mariya
Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the play, written by the Czech writer Karel Čapek «The Makropulos Affair». The play is analyzed in the context of philosophical search of the time of its emergence. Particularly, I. I. Mechnikov’s essays concerning longevity and accompanying it the sense of life matters are observed in the paper. Also, the author makes the comparative analysis of the ideas, represented by the K. Čapek’s play and by the Irish dramatist George Bernard Shaw’s theatrical work «Back to Methuselah», in which the ideas of longevity and the sense of life were raised. These works were published almost simultaneously, and both authors were influenced by Mechnikovs’ views. The points of contact and differences in authors’ positions are observed. The paper represents modi of actualization of longevity and the sense of life issues in the contemporary culture by the examples of the musical «The Recipe of her Youth» and the case study from the Julian Baggini’s popular philosophy guide «The Pig that Want to Be Eaten». We can agree with the Baggini’s idea that the sense of life is not defined by the numbers of years, but by their fullness with contents and the desire to use them in full.

Railway track retention standards in Ukraine do not take into account theconstruction of the subrail base, but regulate one for all types maximum dangerous value of the trackwidth, which was changed from 1546 mm to 1548 mm without any justification of scientific researchor explanations of the effects of tolerances the width of the rail track and the wheel track, which ingeneral at that time were not fully investigated but taking into account the emergence anddevelopment of new scientific problems associated with the emergence of intensive lateral wear ofrails and ridges of locomotive and wagon wheels. The deterministic dependences of lateralimpressions of the P65 type rail thread head on the simultaneous influence of vertical and horizontalforces for the newly installed repair profiles of UZ rolling stock on the basis of previously performedexperimental and theoretical studies were investigated. The results allow at this stage of research todetermine and calculate the practical values of the maximum dangerous width of the track, in whichthe subrail base consists of reinforced concrete sleepers and separate rail fasteners, which are usedboth on conventional highways with mixed traffic and on high-speed lines UZ.The article establishes the need to take into account new factors influencing the dangerouswidth of the rail track with intermediate rail fasteners of separate type depending on the load stress of sections and new repair profiles of rolling stock, as well as wear processes of intermediate railfasteners type KБ and its elements on the appearance of elastic backlash in the lateral direction fromthe influence of the guide wheels of the rolling stock. The recommended value of the maximum widthof the rail track for areas where service or emergency braking is applied - 1550 mm, taking intoaccount that the contact of the wheel and the rail is not at a point, but on an ellipse. The establishednorm of the maximum width of a rail track allows to define economic efficiency of introduction in theconditions of operation of a track in curved sections of a track of small radii with limited use of themaximum admissible lateral wear (15 mm) of a head of a rail thread provided that the normal-forcedentry of rolling stock carts.

Heat losses at the heating network’s distribution pipelines were identified for Karkivcommunity. Heat losses’ calculation is performed in view of the underground pipelines’ installationin non-accessible ducts. The heating system water temperature is accepted in line with the heatingnetwork temperature chart and according to the design outdoor temperature value for heatingpurposes. Specific heat losses in the network section’ pipelines are accepted at the level of standardvalues for the specified network laying method. The water flow rate at the heat pipeline sections isdefined as per the design heat loads from the buildings connected to the heat supply network. Theheat pipeline segment with uniform diameter is accepted as the rated section. The soil temperatureat the heat pipeline axis laying depth is accepted as 5°C. The heat losses at the structural networkelements are considered by 1.15 coefficient. The calculations are performed in view of the heatingsystem water flow rate and temperate changes along the heat pipeline length. While analyzing thethermal condition of the return pipelines of the community heating network, the changes in the heatcontent of the heating system water flow in the main direction pipeline during mixing with the waterflow from the branches of the main direction line are taken into account. Considering the averagetemperature of the coldest five days consecutively, the total energy loss in heating pipeline for a groupof buildings in Kharkov region are equivalent to 180.8kW.In view of the ambient air temperature changing over the heating period for Kharkiv cityclimate conditions and the current schedule for quality heat energy supply to the consumers controlthe annual heat losses in the community heating network pipelines were calculated. The soil temperature change at the heat pipeline installation depth during the heating period was notconsidered.Heat losses in the microdistrict network for the year are 2184 GJ. The data obtained can beused to compare options when developing a strategy for reforming the microdistrict heat supplysystem.
Niepełnosprawność głosu u nauczycieli. Raport z badań
Authors: Hamerlińska Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

Nauczyciele to grupa zawodowa, w której najczęściej diagnozowane są zaburzenia głosu. Niepełnosprawność głosowa może rozwijać się przez wiele lat, co utrudnia wykonywanie pracy i codzienne funkcjonowanie. W ostatnim czasie obserwuje się zarówno wzrost liczby szkoleń z profilaktyki zaburzeń głosu, jak i samych zaburzeń. Wśród 221 nauczycieli przeprowadzono badania mające na celu przedstawienie stanu niepełnosprawności głosowej w danej populacji oraz tego, ile z badanych osób znajduje się pod opieką foniatry. Z badań wynika, że u większości nauczycieli – 173 osób (78 proc.) – stopień niepełnosprawności głosu był niski, u 41 osób (18 proc.) średni, u 6 (3 proc.) nie występował, a u 1 osoby (1 proc.) był duży. Spośród badanych nauczycieli 62 proc. znajduje się pod stałą opieką foniatry. Najbardziej narażona chorobowo jest sfera fizyczna głosu. Nauczyciele nadużywają głosu (co widać przy subiektywnej ocenie procentowej używania głosu – p = 0,025). Należy podkreślić, że stanowią grupę zawodową, która potrzebuje wzmożonego wsparcia w zakresie profilaktyki opisywanego problemu.
Wcielić się nie znaczy zrozumieć. Krytyczna refleksja o symulacjach niepełnosprawności
Authors: Albin Kamila
Published: December 2021

Autorka poddaje krytycznej refleksji tzw. ćwiczenia symulacyjne, powszechnie stosowane w trakcie szkoleń dotyczących świadomości niepełnosprawności, prowadzonych w różnych grupach wiekowych: dla uczniów szkół podstawowych, liceów, pracowników urzędów, instytucji kultury itp. Powszechnie uważa się, że „wcielenie się” w osobę z niepełnosprawnością może mieć pozytywny wpływ na postawy wobec osób niepełnosprawnych. Z drugiej strony niektórzy aktywiści i badacze zwracają uwagę, że praktyki symulacyjne mogą wzmacniać uprzedzenia i negatywne stereotypy, ukazując niepełnosprawność jako doświadczenie indywidualne i osobistą tragedię. Stoi to w sprzeczności z założeniami społecznego modelu niepełnosprawności. Stosując perspektywę autoetnograficzną, autorka, bazując m.in. na własnych doświadczeniach trenerskich, analizuje praktyki prowadzenia tego typu szkoleń opartych na symulacjach niepełnosprawności. Celem analizy jest nie tylko krytyczne spojrzenie na to, co staje się powszechną metodą uczenia o niepełnosprawności, lecz także poszukiwanie alternatywnych propozycji, promujących społeczne zrozumienie osób z niepełnosprawnością.
„Per speciem venandi”. Liwiusz o „upolowaniu” Tarentu przez Hannibala
Authors: Matusiak Patrycja
Published: December 2021

Ancient authors Polybios, Livy and Appianus described the conquest of Tarentum by trickery by Hannibal in 212 BCE during the Second Punic War. The trick was related to Philemenos, who, under the guise of hunting, let Hannibal and the Carthaginians, who supplied him with game, into the city. The Roman historian, more than the Greeks, draws attention to the effect of the last of the hunts, making the hunted great boar (Tarentum boar) a metaphor for the city itself and a prefiguration of Hannibal. This ruse fits both the ways of conquering cities during the war and the wide variety of Punic deceits.
Gdynia – miasto wysiedlone (1939–1942)
Authors: Tomkiewicz Monika
Published: December 2021

Expelling people alien to race and ethnicity, and then settling lands with carefully selected German population, was one of targets of German occupier’s policy to be carried out on grounds incorporated into Reich. Enforced evictions of Polish people and displacements of Germans living outside the Reich after 1st World War made tool for execution of that policy. Displacements of Polish Gdynia inhabitants to the German-occupied Poland are subject of this elaboration – presented in a broad historical background of events related to establishment of the city, its existence in interwar times, defense of Gdynia in 1939, introduction of German occupational administration and selected manifestations of repressions imposed on the Gdynia population. Plans and extents of the displacements, organization and methods of their execution, confiscations of properties, conditions in which the expelled people used to be transported to the German-occupied Poland and their living conditions after the displacements are covered in the article. Files of catalogue number S 22/00/Zn, regarding investigation carried out by Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in Gdańsk and focused on displacements of Polish people from Gdynia to the German-occupied Poland, make majority of materials described in the article.
Capitolo 1. Traduzione e cognitivismo. L’unità di traduzione da una prospettiva testuale e cognitiva
Authors: Menin Roberto
Published: December 2021

The abandonment of linguistic theories relating to the concept of equivalence has left us with a void, namely how to adequately identify the translation unit itself. Previously, this has been defined either lexically (word, lexeme, collocation, etc.) or syntactically (syntagma, etc.) and the maximal level was fixed within the sentence. Linguistic theories have also described the relationship between original text and translation in terms of equivalence. Today, textual linguistics, pragmatics and cognitivist theories have placed the text, in its entirety, in relation to other texts and communication phenomena, at the very centre of analysis. But the microtextual level still exists, and translators proceed to translate from individual units, not from the overall text. The author of the article explains how it is possible to identify the translation unit in a textual and cognitive sense, and to understand what happens in the process of interlinguistic and intercultural change.
Capitolo 5. Traduzione e multilinguismo. Intertextual translatability using the example of the German translation of the Ukrainian novel Twelve Rings by Yuri Andrukhovych
Authors: Höfinghoff-Vornberg Marina
Published: December 2021

This chapter deals with questions of intertextuality and in this context with the problem of the translatability of an intertext. The analysis is carried out using the example of the German translation of the Ukrainian novel Twelve Rings by Yuri Andrukhovych. In the analytical part of the article some intertexts will be identified and explained. It will be analyzed whether these intertexts were recognized in the German translation and how successfully they were communicated to the German readership. A limited number of references from the fields of poetry, advertising and pop culture, which are used as intertextual models in the novel, will be dealt with. The examples are decoded and described to clarify how a communication process between the author and the recipient takes place.
Capitolo 6. Traduzione e teatro. Traduire le sarcasme et la répulsion, ou le bourgeois discrédité par Michel Provins
Authors: Kaczmarek Tomasz
Published: December 2021

In this chapter, the author examines the translation of Michel Provins’ theater play, entitled Degenerates! from French into Polish. The extracts of this extensive drama have been published in the anarchist journals, because the playwright is mercilessly denouncing the flaws of the bourgeoisie. The latter, instead of being an example for the whole nation, lives shamefully on the hooks of the oppressed people. This text, written almost 120 years ago, has not lost any relevance because it castigates abuses of power. The humor and the grotesque stick together. The translator shows the strategies of his work, his aim was to keep as much as possible the originality of the style of Provins while fulfilling the criteria of the theatrical translation.
Capitolo 7. Traduzione e psicanalisi. De l’autre côté du miroir lacanien : traduire la littérature translingue en collaboration avec l’auteur
Authors: Branca Gloria
Published: December 2021

This chapter aims at investigating the effectiveness of some psychoanalytic notions in the area of translingual literary translation by analysing a corpus of paratexts concerning the relationship between the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran and his Italian translator, Mario Andrea Rigoni. Jacques Lacan’s key concepts of mirror stage and object lack are introduced to highlight the intersubjective dynamics occurring between the two subjects, namely the author and the translator involved in the engaging challenge of translating the language of exile.
Global Decline of Insects: A Review from Agricultural Perspective
Authors: Mazed M.K. , Afroz M. , Rahman M.M.
Published: December 2021

The diversity and abundance of insect is facing serious challenges globally in the current era. Although the loss of biodiversity other than invertebrates has been a burning issue from a long ago, some recent reports on insect decline and its impact on agriculture have given it a crucial dimension. Studies related to insect decline revealed that 40% of insect taxa are going through the risk of decline. The current situation is the resultant of several human-influenced factors, most prominently the intensification of agriculture. Insect is one of the most diverse groups having immense effects on ecosystem as an integral part of food web which ultimately has direct effect on other organisms of environment. The most conspicuous contribution of insect is its pollination services to 80% of the flowering plants worldwide which have direct effect on human food security. Decline of pollinator insects and natural enemies of insect pests can impair the crop production due to insufficient pollination and underutilization of the insect control potential of predator insects. To resist the vulnerability of nature and to ensure food security, insect decline should be cut down by controlling anthropogenic stressors through the conservation of natural habitats, eliminating deleterious agricultural practices, implementing insect friendly policies, etc. Immediate action is necessary to alter the nature exploiting agricultural practices causing insect decline to ensure the normal functioning and integrity of entire ecosystem and for human welfare.

Published: December 2021

Background: Tenera oil palm is widely planted as a commercial plantation crop throughout Southern Thailand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic correlation and the direct and indirect effects among bunch yields and vegetative characteristics in commercial tenera oil palms. Methods: The oil yield, fresh fruit bunch, bunch number, average bunch weight, leaf area, leaf dry weight and rachis length were recorded from six commercial tenera oil palm progenies. The data were recorded between January 2019 and June 2020 at The Chaipattana Foundation’s oil palm plantation in Trang Province, Thailand. Result: Results show that fresh fruit bunch, average bunch weight and rachis length positively correlated with oil yield (rp = 0.90**, 0.50* and 0.53, respectively), while bunch number and rachis length positively correlated with fresh fruit bunch (rp = 0.58* and 0.47*, respectively). The path analysis shows that bunch number significantly correlated with fresh fruit bunch (0.58*) and strongly directly affected it (1.11). The fresh fruit bunch significantly correlated with oil yield, (0.90**) and had a strong direct (2.08) and indirect effect (1.20). These results indicate that bunch number and fresh fruit bunch are useful variables for oil yield improvement in further breeding programs of oil palm.
Testing Substance Use as a Mediator of Structural Stigma-Cardiovascular Health Associations in a Large Sample of Gay Men and Lesbian Women
Authors: Manser Kelly A. , Du Bois Steve N.
Published: December 2021

Compared to heterosexual individuals, gay men and lesbian women experience multiple health inequities, including higher prevalence of substance use and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Gay men and lesbian women also face structural stigma, including laws that fail to protect or actively discriminate against them. These phenomena can be understood by considering two theories previously tested among gay men and lesbian women: minority stress and cognitive escape. Minority stress theory suggests being stigmatized for one's minority identity relates to negative health sequelae, while cognitive escape theory suggests escape-related behaviors may mediate links between chronic stress exposure and health. Using 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we ran binary logistic regressions to test models in which binge drinking and cigarette smoking independently mediated links between structural stigma and health among gay men and lesbian women. Structural stigma was operationalized at the U.S. state level as number of sexual orientation anti-discrimination laws. Health was operationalized as presence of any CVD. Models were tested in an aggregated sample, and also in subsamples by sex. In bivariate and component-path analyses, structural stigma predicted smoking across samples. Structural stigma-binge drinking associations were more salient among lesbian women compared to gay men. Per Sobel test results, smoking mediated associations between structural stigma and CVD in the gay men sample, suggesting gay men may smoke to escape from structural stigma, with negative implications for cardiovascular health.
