Published: May 2022

A partir del desarrollo de la serie didáctica en inglés sobre los equilibrios macroeconómicos realizados durante el curso 2019-2020. Se plantea ahora, la utilización del recurso de la realidad aumentada para insertar este serial en unos apuntes traducidos al inglés de la materia impartida en las diferentes asignaturas vinculadas.

Resulta de especial interés para el alumnado la utilización de este recurso ya que permite implementar su estudio personal con los vídeos y el material adaptado al inglés. La experiencia de este proyecto para las asignaturas en castellano ha sido más que satisfactoria, por lo que es importante completar el proyecto con la adaptación de todo el material para las asignaturas en inglés.

El recurso se enmarca dentro de un proyecto de adaptación de la materia de macroeconomía para una mejora en el estudio de la misma por parte del alumnado, y que dio comienzo con la concesión un Proyecto de Innovación Docente para el Curso 2018/2019 con el que se crearon 5 vídeos interactivo que describen audiovisualmente distinto equilibrios dinámicos de la economía. En la edición siguiente, para el Curso 2019/2020 se tradujeron los vídeos al inglés, para adaptarlos a la docencia bilingüe. Posteriormente, se han escrito unos apuntes en castellano que ha sido traducidos al inglés donde éstas están insertadas, sirviendo de base para el Proyecto de Realidad Aumentada adjudicado por el SAV en la convocatoria de 2021.

High-resolution 3D phased-array imaging of fatigue cracks using piezoelectric and laser ultrasonic system (PLUS)
Authors: Ohara Yoshikazu , Remillieux Marcel C. , Ulrich T. J. , Ozawa Serina , Tsunoda Kosuke , Tsuji Toshihiro , Mihara Tsuyoshi
Published: May 2022

This paper reports the effectiveness of a novel imaging system, piezoelectric and laser ultrasonic system (PLUS), for the three-dimensional (3D) imaging of fatigue cracks with a high-resolution. The PLUS combines a piezoelectric transmitter and the two-dimensional (2D) mechanical scanning of a laser Doppler vibrometer, enabling the 2D matrix array with an ultra-multiple number of receiving points for 3D phased array imaging. After describing the principle and 3D imaging algorithm of PLUS, we show the fundamental 3D imaging capability of the PLUS in a flat-bottom-hole specimen with varying the number of receiving points under a fixed large receiving aperture. We then demonstrate that the PLUS with 4275 receiving points (i.e. 75 × 57) achieves high-resolution 3D imaging of a fatigue crack with a high signal-to-noise ratio, providing the outline of the fatigue crack geometry. We also discuss the effectiveness of the ultra-multiple receiving points for suppressing grating lobes and random noise.
الصورة الفنية للكتابة في شعر أبي نواس

وردت الكتابة في شعر ما قبل الاسلام في موضوع الطلل فشبه الشاعر آثار الطلل التي انمحت بكتاب انمحت سطوره، وتطور مدلول (لفظة الكتابة) في العصر الاسلامي حتى شمل الكتاب المنزل من الله سبحانه وتعالى، وجدد الشاعر في مدلول الكتابة في العصر الأموي ليشمل كتابة الرسائل الشعرية، ودلت الكتابة في موضوع الهجاء على ثبوت صفات المهجو  كما تثبت  الكتابة والختم، أما في موضوع المدح، فدلّ على تبليغ رسائل الخليفة وبعضها فيها مبالغة. وتطور مدلول الكتابة في العصر العباسي.  فأصبح موضوعا شعريا يصف صعوبة الكتابة، وبيان الجهد الذي يبذله الشاعر في إصلاح أشعاره. وتطور معنى (الكتابة) عند أبي نواس فحوله من معنى عقلي مجرد الى معنى حسي غزلي يتسم بالجمال، فأبو نواس يحب الجارية المولعة بالكتب وربط بين الغناء والكتابة فالغناء جهر بسرّ العاشقين، أما الكتابة، فجهر بسرّ الكاتب، وشبه جمال المحبوب بالكتابة، ثمّ شبه خُصل الشَّعر المتدلية من أعلى الأُذن بخط القلم، وشبه أبو نواس خطوط الخمرة حين تمزج بالماء بالكتابة بيد الأعسر،  وافتخر أن الملائكة تكتب الذنوب عليه، وهو لا يبالي لشدة إحساسه باللذة، وشبه في موضوع الصيد ريش الدجاج بأسطر الكتابة. ووصف الكتابة بالخلود.

A Novel Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for Wide-Angle Passive Beamforming
Authors: Rao Junhui , Zhang Yujie , Tang Shiwen , Li Zan , Shen Shanpu , Chiu Chi Yuk , Murch Ross
Published: May 2022

A design for a highly reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) that can provide three-dimensional passive reflective beamforming suitable for sub-6 GHz frequency bands is proposed. The RIS is based on a novel double-layer structure consisting of independently controllable and highly reconfigurable elements on top of a ground plane. The novelty of the structure is the use of reconfigurable RIS elements, whose size is of the order of a wavelength, that are optimized to function over wide incident and reflected angles. In addition, the individual elements each have four RF switches, in a 5x5 sub-element structure, providing 16 different reflective phases, from 0 to 360 degrees relative to the incident waves. To quantify the performance of the RIS, the performance metric of phase entropy is defined and it is also utilized as an objective function for optimizing the design. An efficient analytical method for predicting the reflected waves from the RIS elements, as well as phase entropy, is also provided. For verification, a prototype of a 4x4-element RIS, with a total size of 0.32x0.34 m2, is fabricated and an experimental setup for measuring the scattered pattern is described. It is shown that waves incident from various angles can be passively beam steered to any angle within 0-360 degrees azimuth and 70 degrees elevation angles. The high reconfigurability to manipulate incident waves makes the proposed RIS a promising surface for use in future high-capacity communication systems.
Scenario-Driven Data Generation with Experimentable Digital Twins
Authors: Maqbool Osama
Published: May 2022

Synthetic data is an indispensable supplement to the difficult-to-acquire real data in order to meet the substantial demand by machine learning based systems. Data playing the key role in machine learning models, its objective and maintainable quality metrics are vital for quality assurance of the whole system. This paper introduces a systematic and domain-neutral methodology based on formalized scenario variation and experimental digital twins for the generation of synthetic data. The methodology uses human-readable scenarios and semantically meaningful parameter variations to describe possible entities, actions and events to be simulated, whereas experimental digital twins bring the scenarios to life by the integration of various domains of a system such as mechanics, sensors, actuators and communication under one platform that can be simulated as a whole. The scenario description and digital twin simulation is carried out iteratively to derive the optimal distribution of synthetic data. Thus scenarios and experimentable digital twins can together serve as mediums to systematically cover diverse application scenarios, test dangerous situations and find faults within a system.
Deep Contextual Bandit and Reinforcement Learning for IRS-assisted MU-MIMO Systems
Authors: Pereira-Ruisánchez Dariel , Fresnedo Óscar , Pérez-Adán Darian , Castedo Luis
Published: May 2022

 The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) is foreseen as a key enabler of beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G. In this work, two different approaches are considered for the joint optimization of the IRS phase-shift matrix and MIMO precoders of an IRS-assisted multi-stream (MS) multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) system with the aim of maximizing the system sum-rate for every channel realization. The first one is a novel contextual bandit (CB) approach with continuous state and action spaces called deep contextual bandit-oriented deep deterministic policy gradient (DCB-DDPG). The second is an innovative deep reinforcement learning (DRL) formulation where the states, actions and rewards are selected such that the Markov decision process (MDP) property of reinforcement learning (RL) is properly met. Both proposals perform remarkably better than state-of-the-art heuristic methods in high multi-user interference scenarios. 
Using Deep Learning Models and Wearable Sensors to Predict Prosthetic Ankle Torques
Authors: Prasanna Christopher , Realmuto Jonathan , Anderson Anthony , Rombokas Eric , Klute Glenn K.
Published: May 2022

Inverse dynamics from motion capture is the
most common technique for analyzing human biomechanics. However, this method is time-intensive, limited to a gait
laboratory setting, and requires a large array of reflective
markers to be attached to the body. A practical alternative
must be developed to provide biomechanical information to
high-bandwidth prosthesis control systems to enable predictive controllers. In this study, we applied deep learning
to build dynamical system models capable of accurately
estimating and predicting prosthetic ankle torque from inverse dynamics using only six signals that can be accessed
in real time using wearable sensors. We performed a hyperparameter optimization protocol that automatically selected the model architectures and learning parameters that
resulted in the most accurate predictions. We show that
the trained deep neural networks predict ankle torques one
sample into the future with an average RMSE of 0.04±0.02
Nm/kg, corresponding to 2.9±1.6% of the ankle torque’s
dynamic range. Comparatively, a manually-derived analytical regression model predicted ankle torques with a RMSE
of 0.35±0.53 Nm/kg, corresponding to 26.6±40.9% of the
ankle torque’s dynamic range. In addition, the deep neural
networks predicted ankle torque values half a gait cycle into
the future with an average drop in performance of 1.7%
of the ankle torque’s dynamic range. This application of
deep learning provides an avenue towards the development
of predictive control systems for powered limbs aimed at
optimizing prosthetic ankle torque.

Risk Assessment of Post-Fault Temporary Overvoltage Using Generalized Short-Circuit Ratio
Authors: Xin Huanhai , liu xinyu , Zheng Di , Chen Dong , Zhou Yuhan , Marshall Benjamin
Published: May 2022

Temporary overvoltage (TOV) is becoming one challenge for the integration of significant power electronics resources into a power system. To assess the risk of TOV in a Multi-Infeed Power Electronic System (MIPES), a worst-case estimation approach is proposed to assess TOV risk. The paper starts with analyzing the mechanism of TOV, which reveals that TOV is dominated by excessive reactive power resulting from control lagging of converters. Then, the principle of approximating the TOV for a Voltage Source Converter (VSC) connecting to an infinite bus is introduced within the context of the RMS model. After that, a methodology based on the concept of generalized short-circuit ratio for overvoltage (gSCR-TOV) is introduced to quantify the risk of TOV in a multi-bus system. The intent of this concept is to permit screening to identify those nodes at greatest need for further EMT assessment. To localize these nodes, a concept of weighted sensitivity matrix is further proposed to pinpoint the bus subject to highest TOV in a MIPES. Finally, case studies of EMT time-domain simulations are carried out and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies. 
Giorgio La Pira: i capitoli di una vita
Authors: Spinoso Giovanni , Turrini Claudio
Published: May 2022

To tell the «chapters» of life of Giorgio La Pira (Pozzallo 1904-Florence 1977), we chose to follow a chronological order. Based on meticulous research and proposing extensive unpublished documentation, we describe the many commitments that – year after year – the Professor has found himself assuming and the various fields of his action, starting from his early years in Sicily. A very young university professor of Roman Law, intellectually engaged in the fight against fascism, constituent, parliamentarian, mayor, president of the World Federation of United Cities, La Pira has characterised his testimony in all these areas with fidelity to his deep faith and with concrete attention to the least, to the poor, to the defence of work, the right to housing, of social justice; and of the basic right to freedom and peace. For each year a summary of all the Professor’s activities is reported. The work is accompanied by over a thousand biographical cards and an extensive bibliography. A solid base to start new research from, and also a useful tool for reflection and study of the life and thoughts of Giorgio La Pira.

Social information in the context of global COVID-quarantine in the reception of Zhytomyr media: specifics, forms of presentation
Authors: Dyuzheva Kateryna
Published: May 2022

The article deals with the peculiarities of the coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Zhytomyr regional online media in the period august—december 2020. Using the journalism methods, the characteristics of publications of this period are analyzed and compared, the pros and cons of each of the materials are described. There is an attempt to establish a balance between journalism standards and manipulation of the recipient's consciousness in Zhytomyr media. The paper shows that articles by the authors of the sites "Zhytomyr.info", "20 minutes", "Zhytomyr.Life", "Zhytomyr.today", "Zhytomyr OnLine", "Zhytomyr Magazine", "TIMES.ZT", "1.ZT.UA", "News.DKS" are subjects to content analysis. Attention is paid to the semantic field of titles, information saturation of publications, their bias and originality. The Ministry of Health provides advice on the work of journalists on materials on the subject of coronavirus, attention is paid to the observance of these advice by Zhytomyr media. The study also focuses on regional materials in the aspect of the study of the Commission on Journalistic Ethics on the coverage of the pandemic in the Ukrainian media. The practical observation of the statistical centering of the subject of the depicted events is reflected, the perception of it has beeb described by the journalist is removed, often in the form of a report or press release. The article also talks about the balance of opinions, completeness, accuracy, efficiency, the granting / non-granting of the right to vote to all those involved in a particular event, the separation of facts from the journalist's own opinion and emotions. It has been found that unreadability of materials is widespread. Sometimes it leads to the supply of the recipient of a "raw" information message, which should be worked on by both the author and the editor of the publication. Analyzing the examples from various Zhytomyr media features of the presentation of social information in the context of global COVID-quarantine, we conclude that the regional media is an important tool for disseminating the necessary news to society, which can be both useful and, conversely, harmful and demoralizing. This paper has clearly shown that a journalist is able to prioritize the interests of the audience.

Published: May 2022

This study theoretically examines the relationship that exists between talent management strategies and organizational success of universities in Rivers State. The theoretical foundation that underpins this study was resource-based view theory. According to the literature review, there is a strong link between talent management strategies and organizational success. Career management is critical for every organization's performance since how well it manages its employees determines its success. The findings of this study have some managerial implications, which can help managers to effectively attain their organizational objectives. The findings show that management is not paying enough attention to talent attraction and retention in the industry, necessitating a need for management to overhaul their talent attraction and retention strategy, as this will improve the explanation variations of talent management strategies in achieving long-term organizational success. Managers should shift their mindset from discussing talent management strategies informally to strategic execution and integration through decision-making procedures, rather than treating it as a theoretical topic. Human resources managers should also set aside sufficient budget to cater for costs relating to external recruitment and graduate or management trainee programs which ideally will form part of an organization's talent pool.
Long-term Effects of Pictorial Cues, Spaced Retrieval, and Output-based Activities on Vocabulary Learning: The Case of Iranian Learners
Authors: Behbahani Hossein Kargar , Kooti Mohammad Saeed
Published: May 2022

Vocabulary learning is an indispensable part of language learning/acquisition. This study sought to examine the blended impact of word learning strategies namely pictorial cues, spaced repetition and output-based activities on word recall in the long run among Iranian EFL learners at high school level. To this end, 65 subjects from preexisting classes were conveniently selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was exposed to the treatment for a whole academic year. To find the possible effect of the treatment on word recall, a one-way repeated measure ANOVA was run. The results of the statistical analyses showed that not only word learning improved from baseline to time 2 (posttest), but also the effect of the treatment was durable over time. Put it another way, in delayed posttest the means for the experimental subjects decreased but not significantly corroborating the effectiveness of these blended teaching techniques in the long run. The pedagogical implication of the current study is for teachers to implement these techniques in their classes to enhance word learning among their students. Additionally, material developers can also take benefit from the findings of this research in providing better materials.

Authors: Ngatomela Bakari S. , Gilyoma Japhet M. , Msaki Evarist B. , Buname Gustave
Published: May 2022

Background: Globally, foreign bodies (FBs) in the ear are commonly encountered by otolaryngologists and its removal can result in complications if attempts of removal are made outside the healthcare setting by untrained personnel. This study describes the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes among patients presenting with FB s in the ear at Bugando Medical Centre (BMC). Methods: This was a cross sectional study that was conducted at BMC between May 2019 and October 2019. Results: A total of 70 patients (M: F ratio = 1.3:1) were studied. The mean age at presentation for children was 5.1[±2.2] years, whereas that of adults was 28.9 [±16.1] years. The FBs were found in the right ear in 44(62.9%) patients, left ear in 25(35.7%) patients and in both ears in 1(1.4%) patient. Cotton was the most common FB in 34.3% of cases. Previous history of failed attempted ear FB removal by peripheral hospitals was reported in 15(21.4%) patients. Methods used in the removal of ear FB were ear syringing in 42(60.0%) patients, forceps extraction in 15(21%) cases, FB removal by suctioning 4(6%) and hooks in 9(15%) patients. Complications observed were external ear canal laceration (n=13; 50.0%), tympanic membrane perforation (n=9; 34.6%), otitis externa (n=3; 11.5%) and chronic otitis media (n=1; 3.8%) and were significantly associated with late presentation (≥ 7 days) (p-value =0.021) and previous history of failed attempted ear FB removal (p-value < 0.001). The outcome of treatment was excellent as all of the ear FBs were successfully removed with good improvement in hearing and clinical relief of symptoms. Conclusion: Ear FBs are common at BMC with the highest incidence in children less than 10years. Removal attempts by peripheral hospitals and delayed attending to specialized hospitals predisposes to complications. Parental education on close monitoring of their children to avoid such incidences and the need to immediately seek otorhinolaryngologists to prevent ..............

Authors: Eliza Eliza , Aprilianti Darlita , Nazarena Yunita , Terati Terati , Sumarman Sumarman
Published: May 2022

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance in the blood because the pancreas is unable to produce insulin. The risk factors that led to diabetes mellitus are reversible and irreversible. The study was aimed at recognizing the effect that pumpkin and tomato pudding (lakuto) have on decreasing blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetesmellitus in Puskesmas Padang Selasa Palembang. It is a quantitative research using quasi-experiment design with pretest and posttest with two groups design. The subjects were mostly 61-70 years old and female. Average levels of blood glucose before treatment are 329,33 mg/dl in the treatment group and 314,07 mg/dl in the control groups. Whereas the average blood glucose level after treatment was 301,43 mg/dl in the treatment group and 304,00 mg/dl in the control groups. The result showed the effects of pumpkin and tomato pudding (lakuto) on blood glucose levels in diabetes mellitus type 2 in Puskesmas Padang Selasa Palembang (p-value=0,000). This suggests that pumpkin and tomato pudding (lakuto) may lower blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The Cohesion of the Prologue on the Hunger Games Trilogy: A Discourse Analysis
Authors: Fernandico Ann Mellene Capuy
Published: May 2022

Cohesion is designed to deal with words and phrases that generate a pattern of relations between lexical elements and structures to build an integral and logical text. The analysis of cohesion aims to connect central concepts to the context of writing intended to pursue standards of communication, writing styles, textuality, and a practice of discourse. Accordingly, this study analyzes the cohesion found in the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The method of this research is a discourse analysis focusing on Systematic Functional Linguistics (SFL) developed by M.A.K. Halliday. Based on the analysis, the prologue of The Hunger Games and Catching Fire novels can be described in the terms of field, tenor, and mode creating the contextual parameter. The text of the novels is written and is clearly detached, explicit, planned and integrated. While links were observed as characters and places were repeatedly written. The conclusion can be drawn that the two novels aim to tell a story. Furthermore, the texts do not instruct the reader on what to do but rather, it tells what the characters of the story did, are doing, or will do. The novels also implore the reader to read further beyond the prologue and to the main story.

Authors: Zuana Muhammad Mujtaba Mitra
Published: May 2022

Writing is not always easy to do. The students face some difficulties in mastering writing skill because they need particular practice to develop their writing skill. The teacher should know the students’ abilities and difficulties toward this skill and one of many ways teacher can do is by analyzing students’ compositions. In this research, they are generic structures and language features of analytical exposition texts. They may make students find some difficulties in analytical exposition texts.

This study is descriptive qualitative study and this research is aiming to describe the students’ competence in writing expository text. The researcher is the first instrument and the second instrument for this study is the students’ compositions of analytical exposition texts. To analyze the data, there will be three steps; classification, analysis, and representing to determine whether the students write analytical exposition text with proper generic structures and language features or not.

After being analysis, the researcher found that the students could write analytical exposition texts with a good generic structures and language features. However, there are some students who do not compose them properly. For generic structures, some students often do not write review of arguments in thesis and reiteration. And for language features, some of the students often do not apply the diction well. The students are proficient enough in organizing analytical exposition text in term of generic structures and language features.

From the analysis, the abilities and difficulties of the students can be identified by the teacher. The teacher should give clear explanation and understanding in teaching analytical exposition text. The teacher had to explain about how to make analytical exposition text deeply in order that the students could comprehend the text well. In addition, the English teacher could give comments to the students’ composition for the better next writing assignments, because they will know about the mistakes that they still made.

ESP Students’ Preferences in Learning English: Face to Face Corrective Feedback vs Online Corrective Feedback
Authors: Ferdian Nurizzi Rifqi
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT

The current study aims to explore the students’ preferences on face to face corrective feedback vs online corrective feedback in ESP class. It is an attempt to investigate if they prefer to be corrected directly face to face by teachers or they like to be provided online corrective feedback by the teachers. To do so, a questionnaire was distributed to a group of students who are taking English for Specific Purposes and also focus group discussion was used in order to find out their beliefs toward their corrective feedback preferences. Totally, 50 students who were taking ESP courses at State Polytechnic of Subang participated in this study. The results from the questionnaire analysis revealed that the students preferred their teachers to use face to face corrective feedback, with an overall mean (x̄ = 3,95) in learning effectiveness, (x̄ = 4,12) in learning accuracies, and (x̄ = 4,02) in learning experiences. The focus group discussion revealed the students’ beliefs in their corrective feedback preferences, they believed that the teachers should be able to guide their learning, use communicative ways, and encourage them by using their learning preferences. The study suggested that taking these preferences into consideration could help students to increase their confidence in learning English.

This study is aimed to know to find out the types of Socratic questions used by the students of seventh semester in English Department of  FKIP UHN Medan. This research was conducted by descriptive qualitative where the subject is seventh English Department students in Nommensen University academic year 2019/2020 on Seminar Class and the data is students’questions. After analizing questions, it was found that Socratic questions used by the seventh semester of English students in FKIP UHN Medan are questions and clarification, questions that prope purposes, questions that probe assumptions, Question that Probe Information, Reason, Evidence, and Cause, Question about viewpoints or perspectives, Questions that Probe Implication and Consequences, Question about question, Question that Probe Concept, and Questions that probe Inferences and Interpretation.   The most dominant is Question that Probe Information, Reason, Evidence, and Cause. It means that the students’ ability in making questions in seminar on ELT presentation is still on the level of getting information from the text, less to have capacity to view or to judge things from some other perspectives, less of preparing themselves reading the seminar paper before the presentation starts. The writer assumed that the students lack of reading.
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE REAL PARAMETERS OF THE MODEL AND FEATURES OF MODELING USING THE BAYESIAN APPROACH

Interpretation of the real parameters of the model is the main distinguishing feature of the Bayesian approach from the classical methods, which claim that it is not the parameters that are random, but their estimates, which are observation functions that include elements of randomness. In contrast, Bayesian methods claim that the randomness of parameters is a property of the real world, as well as the fact that every physical object is subject to constant random variations. Based on the Bayesian approach, the estimates of these parameters are not random, so they should be calculated. An example of such estimates is the average value of a random variable. Bayes' theorem is widely used to solve many statistical problems, and the Bayesian approach is necessary in order to draw correct conclusions about the parameters of the econometric model obtained on the basis of sample data.

Mandelstam and Aloysius Bertrand: a question of interpretation
Authors: Markov Alexander V.
Published: May 2022

O. Mandelstam's poem Like chiaroscuro Martyr Rembrandt combines ekphrasis, testament of the poet, and declaration of social position: this combination has posed difficulties for interpreters. A number of obscure images, such as imprisonment, wealth, or a tribe of associates, are convincingly interpreted as Mandelstams deduction of his own biography from the circumstances of Rembrandts life, but this explain neither the expressive poetics nor the place of the Calvary plot among other life-plots. I suggest that one of the poems by the French Romanticist Aloysius Bertrand, Gaspard de la nuit, which is a synopsis of the images of Gothic novels, should be considered a key to the poem. Bertrands poem in prose contains the main images of Mandelstams poem in a short, and it may well be considered, if not a pretext of Mandelstams text, then one of the keys that clarify its plot. Thus, Bertrand understands the dark light of the crucifixion as an impression of the window frame at night, the searing pain as the onset of midnight, the guards and warriors as the presence of the ancestors and the curse associated with them, and the treasure as a hint of hell and incest. Thus the plot of Mandelstams poem is not to be reduced to a willingness to give up earthly goods and accept martyrdom in imitation of Christ, nor to a willingness to share noble poverty with friends. This plot, from Bertrands key, is reconstructed as follows: midnight threatens with nightmares, and the chief of these nightmares is the sensation of burning pain, the pain of conscience or the pain of the unfulfilled, with the onset of midnight. After this reflection on time passes into a dreamlike experience of what is happening, into a series of fantasies pointing to former treasures of life and to former impressions of art. In this dream experience, human brotherhood can only be experienced as a communion with shadows and therefore an inevitable bodily martyrdom. In the poem, Mandelstam reassembled Gothic Romantic symbols and emotional modes to distinguish between the subjective relationship to martyrdom and the objective martyrdom defined by the autonomies of art, soul, and body.
