Authors: Joshi Savita , Sati S.C. , Kumar Parikshit
Published: October 2021

Ethnomedicinal information is one of the powerful criteria for new drugs discoveries therefore; present investigation was carried out to evaluate the ethnomedicinal and antibacterial potential of traditional Kumaun Himalayan gymnosperms. Besides, an antibacterial value index and relative antibacterial activity of studied plants have been established. Forty four plant leaves extracts in different organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, chloroform and hexane) of 11 gymnosperms (Araucaria cunninghamii, Biota orientalis, Cedrus deodara, Cephalotaxus griffithi, Cryptomeria japonica Cupressus torulosa, Ginkgo biloba, Juniperus communis, Picea smithiana, Pinus wallichiana and Taxus baccata) occurring in Kumaun Himalaya were screened for their antimicrobial activity against five pathogenic bacteria using disc diffusion method. The antibacterial activity of studied gymnospermic plant extracts against a panel of bacteria was found effective at 1000 µg/ml. The MIC and MBC values of each extract (where ZOI ≥ 15 mm) were also determined. The methanol extract of screened gymnosperms were found the most effective against all the bacteria (54% to 81%), followed by ethanol extract (45-72%), hexane extract (18-27%), while in chloroform extract it ranged 9-27% only. The extracts of G. biloba exhibited superior Relative Antibacterial Activity (RAA, 20%), followed by A. cunninghamii and P. wallichiana (12% RAA, each). The lowest RAA value was observed for C. torulosa (1%). All data were also analyzed for determination of an Antibacterial Value Index (ABVI) for each studied species of gymnosperm. G. biloba had maximum ABVI i.e. 90 % followed by A. cunninghamii and P. wallichiana (ABVI, 55% each). C. torulosa showed the least ABVI and RAA i.e. 5% and 11%, respectively. The present work fully highlighted the utility of traditionally known 11 gymnosperms of Kumaun Himalaya for their antibacterial activities against pathogenic bacteria.

Pada jaringan internet kualitas suatu koneksi ditentukan oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya throughput bandwidth yang berjalan karena banyak sedikitnya bandwidth akan mempengaruhi akses bagi pengguna baik itu untuk browsing, streaming, download dan upload. Hal tersebut bukan hanya terjadi pada traffic yang menuju ke internet, melainkan terjadi juga pada jaringan VPN dimana apabila banyak user yang menggunakan traffic data VPN dapat menyebabkan akses menjadi lambat.  Terlebih lagi apabila pada suatu jaringan memiliki 2 link internet yang seharusnya kedua link tersebut dapat digunakan secara bersamaan. Ada beberapa parameter yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas bandwidth diantaranya adalah Bonding. Bonding adalah sebuah teknologi yang memungkinkan agregasi lebih dari satu interface ethernet dan menggabungkan kedalam satu link virtual sehingga kita akan mendapatkan throughput bandwith yang lebih besar. Faktor lain yang berpengaruh terhadap kualitas suatu koneksi diantaranya adalah topologi. Pemilihan topologi terutama pada jaringan VPN yang memiliki banyak node diperlukan topologi yang menerapkan sebuah perangkat jaringan yang bertugas menjadi concentrator sehingga jaringan VPN terpusat pada concentrator tersebut. Perangkat yang digunakan sebagai router concentrator adalah Mikrotik

The article discusses the preparation of the academic edition of the complete works by Lesya Ukrainka for publication carried out by the staff of the Volyn National University named aft er Lesya Ukrainka (Lutsk, Ukraine), with the involvement of leading literary critics of Ukraine. Th e implementation of this large-scale project (a collection of 14 volumes) became possible due to the fact that the university is the owner of the electronic archive of Lesya Ukrainka. Th e manuscript heritage of the writer has become available for detailed study by a wide range of researchers, in addition to remotely. Th e article states that careful processing of manuscripts revealed many problems in studying Lesya Ukrainka’s work, in particular, ideological interference in the process of publishing and interpreting manuscripts, especially draft manuscripts. Th e comparison of rough and clean autographs proved to be especially fruitful for commenting on texts, for an in-depth, and oft en completely new understanding of classical works. Th e organizers set a goal to fully refl ect the handwritten legacy of Lesya Ukrainka in comments and notes. Unfortunately, not every work of the writer received such an in-depth discourse, because many texts are presented in the collection of fi rst editions, as neither draft nor fi nal manuscripts were found. But even the available autographs allow us to interpret the writer’s manuscript heritage as a self-suffi cient object of science, to which it is necessary to apply not only the textual and genetic method but also many other methods of modern literary criticism.

Wizjonerstwo historyczne w tekstach pisarzy innowierczych
Authors: Zema Valerii
Published: October 2021

This article reviews the creation and the roots of two historical legends about the trip of Ivan Smera to Alexandria and the privilege of Alexander Macedon to Slavs. The methodology of current research is based on the comparison of historical narratives. Two versions of the legend about the trip to the Orient were composed on the ground of old Kyivan chronicle which narrates the story about the choice of religion by Kyivan prince Volodimer in the last decades of the X th century when several ambassadors were sent to study the peculiarities of Judaism, Islam, Latin and Byzantine Christianity. During the second half of the XVI century, a new version of this tale was composed by Calvinists in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It narrates the visit of a certain person (Jolash or Ivan Smera) who arrived at Alexandria in North Africa to investigate the customs of the local Christian community. Ivan Smera found that the customs and the rite of the local community reflect the ideals of simple Christian service, without icons and church decoration. The rite of this religious community responds to the customs and the service of Calvinism. Smera has reported about the customs of Alexandria’s Christians to Volodimer but the Kyivan price ignored the ambassador’s notes and accepted Christianity in the byzantine rite. The other legend, which circulated in East and Central Europe during the Renaissance, narrates about the privilege of Alexander Macedon that was inscribed by golden letters on the tables in Alexandria. This imagined document relates that Slavic tribes arrived from the lands of Illyria and Dalmatia under the rulership of chieftains Lech, Roxolan, and Czech. It seems that both legends are rooted in Alexandria because Arianism prevailed in this city during late antiquity and Calvinism leaders supposed to establish good relations with orthodox patriarchs of this city in the second half of the XVI century. Religious life in ancient Alexandria was treated by the authors of the legend about the trip to North Africa as an example of perfect Christianity.

Published: October 2021

This paper analyses the state of contemporary Polish historiography about the history of Ukraine in the first half of the 20th century, a very dramatic period in Polish-Ukrainian relations, with a high emotional charge, influenced by political and ideological elements. Olha Morozova’s book is an important voice in the historiographic Polish-Ukrainian discourse. The author indicates different aspects linking the history of both nations, but without passing over the difficult or even dramatic moments of their common history. The book enriches contemporary knowledge about Polish historical thought, prompts Ukrainian and Polish historians to reflect and perhaps reorient their findings and assessments. Olha Morozova takes the position of continuing the calm Polish-Ukrainian dialogue, eliminating the emotional and ideological elements as much as possible.

The review concerns an edition of Albert Vimina’s work History of civil wars in Poland (Historia delle guerre civili in Polonia) by Teresa Chynczewska-Hennel. The edition consists of two main parts. The first, which is an extensive introduction, was devoted mainly to the description of Albert Vimina’s biography. The second part contains The History of Civil Wars in Poland, which consists of five books on 196 pages. The main part contains descriptions of the struggles of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with the Zaporizhian Cossacks in the years 1648-1651. The following three parts, attached to The History of Civil Wars in Poland, are also related to the author’s personal observations. As I have already mentioned, the reviewed edition is published in Poland for the first time and it has been prepared with knowledge of editorial art and in accordance with the recommendations of the publishing manual. It must be emphasized at this point that what clearly distinguishes it from the Lithuanian edition from 2012 is, above all, the excellent translation and extensive set of footnotes. In conclusion, it must be said with certainty that we have received a very successful edition and, what is worth emphasizing, not the last one in the publisher’s output.
Tsvyntar Olʹshany u Prazi yak mistse pamʺyati ukrayintsiv
Authors: Stambol Ihor
Published: October 2021

The article clarifies the role of the Olshany cemetery in Prague as a location for the memory of Ukrainians and about Ukrainians. Olshany is one of the largest necropolises of prominent Ukrainians outside Ukraine. Most Ukrainians buried here became emigrants as a result of the defeat of the Ukrainian National Revolution of 1917-1921. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the perception of this necropolis among Ukrainians, to show some aspects of mentions of Olshany in the Ukrainian information space and to find out its possible role as a place of memory. The topic of Olshany became more active in the Ukrainian media in 2017 due to the threat of losing the grave of one of the most prominent Ukrainian poets of the early twentieth century – Oleksandr Oles (Kandyba) and his wife. The periodicity of attention to Olshany is explained by the interest of Ukrainians in the subject of the Ukrainian National Revolution of 1917-1921, which also acquires a greater resonance closer to the memorable dates. Members of the Ukrainian governments buried in the cemetery, including Fedor Shvets, Stepan Siropolko, Volodymyr Leontovych, Sofia Rusova, Hryhoriy Sydorenko, Apollinarii Marshynsky, as well as scientists and artists Spiridon Cherkasenko, Mykola Andrusov, Yevhen Ivanenko and others, together with the military UGA, are very important part of the memory of Ukrainian post-revolutionary emigration, and involve people in understanding their destinies through the fields in which they were engaged before, during and after the Revolution. That is why Olshany already acts as a place of memory for Ukrainian historians, teachers, diplomats, etc. But given the professional diversity of the people buried there and the significant legacy they have left behind, this place has greater potential. And new generations of Ukrainians who work or study in the Czech Republic now can contribute even more to this.

Diaryst yak tvoretsʹ dokumentalʹnoyi mediatsiyi

Published: October 2021

The paper is devoted to the study of mediation and mediators in ego-documentary prose. The are nine possibilities of mediation formation in the diary (Taras Shevchenko’s “Diary” is taken as a sample): 1) by means of memories, 2) as dictated by heart, 3) by means of emotional temporitum, 4) through the actualization of personalities, 5) as an imitation of the previous genre form, 6) as revision of the past, 7) in dreams, 8) by means of language expression, 9) by using the Bible. Shevchenko’s journal is characterized by the movement of everyday life to the realm of the transcendent. If in the literature of Romanticism the mediators are usually located in the transcendent, then in Shevchenko to this classical landmark of the Romantics is added everyday life as dreamed and transcendent.
Fragment Dziennika Nepalskiego
Authors: Chynczewska-Hennel Teresa
Published: October 2021

In Diary, the author describes a journey through a mysterious land, the Lo Kingdom in Upper Mustang, in northern Nepal. She compares her impressions to observations of the heroes of James Hilton’s famous book “Lost Horizon”. The fascination with the legendary land, the mythical Šambhai (Shangri La) has a huge impact to this day and attracts many travellers to visit the former Kingdom. Hiking the Himalayan trails from Kagbeni to Syanboche to the capital of Lo Manthanang brings many different reflections to everyone. Six hundred years of tradition and modern history overlap there and interact with each other. From 2008, the Kingdom of Lo is no longer formally established. Nepal is a Republic along with the Northern Mustang.
Herskovits’s Heritage: Rethinking Syncretism in the African Diaspora
Authors: Apter Andrew
Published: October 2021

It is customary, if not mandatory, in contemporary African diaspora studies to invoke the pioneering spirit of Melville J. Herskovits (1895-1963), whose lifework was dedicated to the repossession of Africa’s heritage in the New World. Not that Herskovits was the first to engage in such research. Others before him included W. E. B. Du Bois and Carter G. Woodson, as well as Jean Price-Mars of Haiti, Fernando Ortiz of Cuba, and—more his contemporaries than predecessors—Zora Neale Hurston and the Brazilian ethnologists Rene Ribeiro, Arthur Ramos, and Gilberto Freyre. But Herskovits more than any other scholar posed the African-American connection as a theoretical problem that, in the service of a progressive if intellectually circumscribed political agenda, demanded systematic research into an unprecedented range of West African and New World cultures. It is not my aim to praise a great ancestor, whose flaws and limitations are as legendary as his virtues, but to assess the relevance of his theoretical program to contemporary African-American research. In particular, I will focus on his syncretic paradigm, which continues—even among those who disavow it as crudely es-sentialist or unwittingly racist—to inform the current renaissance in studies of the African diaspora.
“God made me a Lithuanian”: Nationalist Ideology and the Constructions of a North American Diaspora
Authors: Rubchak Marian J.
Published: October 2021

The above epigram insists on the existence of two halves of a single identity—a timeless, unalterable Lithuanian self and its complementary American half; it appeared in an editorial written in 1951 by a Lithuanian born in America. When a reader criticized this self-definition as “un-American,” the author of the editorial replied: “You found it difficult to understand how I, who was born and raised in this glorious land of ours, can call myself a Lithuanian. There are many reasons.... First and foremost is the simple reason that God made me a Lithuanian.” Almost 40 years later, Antanas J. Van Reenan refers to Lithuanian “universal first principles,” the concept according to which Lithuania, like every other nation, is culturally distinctive and in harmony with the proposition that “God created nations as part of his divine plan” (12). This idea, inspired by German national ideologists like Herder, is the essence of an ideology of Lithuanianness that was fully consolidated in Lithuania during the first decade of the twentieth century and provided the conceptual underpinnings for what was to become by the middle of the century—as Van Reenan puts it—a Lithuanian “diaspora mentality” (xv). The term refers to the mind-frame of a people with a powerful sense of the Lithuanianness of their own and future generations, who set out to resist assimilation into mainstream America.
“The Invisible World the Emigrants Built”: Cultural Self-Inscription and the Antiromantic Plots of The Woman Warrior
Authors: Chu Patricia
Published: October 2021

Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts both depicts and creates for its readers such an experience of strangeness that many non-Chinese-American readers view it as “exotic” and Chinese, some Chinese Americans dismiss it as a misrepresentation of Chinese-American experience, and most Chinese view it as American. As Kingston herself has noted, many of the book's early reviewers praised the book, yet inappropriately tried to draw general conclusions from it about Chinese Americans, or even Chinese (Kingston, “Cultural Mis-readings”). Chinese readers are likely to share the initial responses of Zhang Ya-jie, a scholar from the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.) who felt that Kingston’s treatment of certain stories, especially the woman warrior story, was “somewhat twisted, Chinese perhaps in origin but not really Chinese any more, full of American imagination,” and was put off by the book’s expressions of bitterness toward Kingston’s mother and its generalizations about Chinese people (103). Perhaps in response, much Asian-American discussion has focused on the book's ethnic authenticity, rather than its poetic rendering of Kingston’s experience, as a quick survey of four Asian-American critical approaches may suggest.
Three Meanings of “Diaspora,” Exemplified among South Asian Religions
Authors: Vertovec Steven
Published: October 2021

“Diaspora” is the term often used today to describe practically any population that is considered “deterritorialized” or “transnational”—that is, which has originated in a land other than that in which it currently resides, and whose social, economic, and political networks cross the borders of nation-states or, indeed, span the globe. To be sure, such populations are growing in prevalence, number, and self-awareness. Several are emerging as (or have historically long been) significant players in the construction of national narratives, regional alliances, or global political economies.

Local Sentences in the Chapter of the Postcolonial World
Authors: Chrisman Laura
Published: October 2021

These comments, from Peter Hulme’s introduction, strike a keynote for this essay collection as a whole. Although some of its contributors align themselves with those very postmodern arguments from which Hulme marks his distance, they all share his concern with scaling down postcolonial cultural analysis and theorization to focus on particular cultural, historical, and geographical cases. This provides a striking contrast with the earlier stages of the “industry,” as inaugurated by Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978), which was concerned with mapping a phenomenon of massive historical and geographical proportions; or, alternatively, with Homi Bhabha’s projects in the mid-1980s (Location chap. 2-6), which took up the task of theorizing a generalized colonial subjectivity. It is not only the focus on “locality” which differentiates this collection from the earlier work of Said and Bhabha. This earlier stage of colonial dis-course/postcolonial theory privileged India and the Orient as objects of study (Said) or as the example from which psychoanalytic patterns could be derived (Bhabha). In this collection of twelve chapters, only one is devoted to India. The rest cover a striking regional range, including Spanish America, the Philippines, the Caribbean, West Africa, South Africa, France, the USA, and the UK. This diversity of regions ushers in a broadening of theoretical as well as physical terrain. Despite the volume’s title, “discourse” theory in a strongly Foucauldian sense is not prevalent in the contributions. And contrary to the title’s suggestion, colonialism serves more as an epistemological and political matrix than as a topic of analysis.

Misa Online: Solusi Sementara dan Bermasalah
Authors: Sule Fransiskus
Published: October 2021

The ecclesiastical leaders have made policies that encourage the faithful to worship at home as a part of the effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Online Mass became a principal solution to fulfill Sunday's obligations. This article aims to evaluate the online Mass practice from the believers' perspective. To study people's attitudes towards online Masses, interviews were conducted and results showed that people in general were dissatisfied with this practice. Underlying the dissatisfaction were assumptions, which need to be clarified, for example, that Mass as being identical to Holy Communion is considered the only way to fulfill the Sunday's obligations. In fact, there are a number of religious practices and doctrinal teachings that could serve as better alternatives to the Eucharistic celebration on Sundays. This paper concludes that online Mass is not the right solution to the problem of worship during the pandemic.

This article presents a philosophical reflection on the story of Hotel Rwanda’s film from the Ethic’s perspective of Emmanuel Levinas. Hotel Rwanda’s Film tells a story about the conflict between two of Rwanda’s native tribes, Hutu and Tutsi, that highlighting violence and genocide as the impact of the racial discrimination paradigm. By analyzing some events that were pictures from the film, I saw that two interesting ideas to reflect by Levinas’ Ethic perspective. First, about the dangerous tendency of totality by stigmatizing other people by ideas. And the second is the philosophical idea regards to the meaning of encountering the face of the other, as the basis of responsibility to the other man. In that way, Hotel Rwanda’s film can be presenting a relevant illustration for some core on Levinas’ thought that focusing on the ethical problem concerning justice and humanity

Based on his philosophical question: what is capable self? we search for the meaning of human capability which will imply an understanding of the self and the recognition of its basic personal capacities, from where proceeds mutual recognition. Since this is the main goal of Ricoeur, I choose to expose this part of his work with the objective of structuring its ethical aim, which is to live good life with and for others in just institutions. Here, love, justice and the poetics of the gift will play significant roles. This study is divided into three main parts. Part One is a discussion of the phenomenology of the capable self that aims to emphasize the meaning of personal capacities in terms of self’s ability. Part Two presents ethics and the politics of recognition in three sub-themes: self-esteem, solicitude for others and justice in institutions. This leads to the Part Three which completes the previous study by analyzing the relationship between love, justice and possibility of the politics of mutual recognition.

Keywords: Capable self, Mutual Recognition, Ethical Aim and the Poetics of the Gift.

This paper aims to provide new insights on the importance of family catechesis during the Covid 19 pandemic. During the Covid 19 pandemic, religious activities have been eliminated or restricted. Normally, Catholics can celebrate worship at church, but that will no longer be possible after the government prohibits gathering to prevent the transmission of the Coronavirus. Therefore, this situation hinders the formation of the faith of the people. Then, there was a shift in the celebration of faith which was originally held in the church to be carried out in the family during the Covid 19 pandemic. Therefore, family catechesis in this regard plays an important role in the celebration of faith within the family itself. The methodology is a qualitative method. The data were collected from books, news, and journals. For data analysis, this study used a deductive method with maggid ritual catechesis model as a perspective. This study found that family catechesis with the maggid ritual catechesis model can answer what the Catholic family missed during the Covid 19 pandemic, namely the celebration of togetherness, the experience of community faith, internalization, and transformation.

Key words: Catechesis, Faith Celebration, Family, Maggid Ritual
Potential Biomarkers in Diagnosis, Prognosis and Prediction of Treatment Response in Malignant Glioma

Gliomas are the most common type of primary central nervous system malignancies with poor prognosis in adults. There are several challenges in developing a treatment protocol for this malignancy including presence of blood-brain barrier that inhibit drug delivery to brain tissue, drug and radiation resistance of tumor cells, and inter and intra-tumor heterogeneity of glioma. In addition, early treatment assessment is difficult for glioma patients because of phenomenon of pseudo-progression. Due to the challenges involved in treatment and monitoring of treatment response for glioma, it is very helpful to identify specific and non-invasive molecular and imaging markers in order to provide useful prognostic information. The aim of this article is to summarize several potential biological and imaging markers regarding malignant glioma. A brief description of the proteins involved in the glioma signaling pathways is provided in order to introduce potential biological markers. Furthermore, the role of imaging techniques in treatment management is discussed. Finally, correlation between tumor characteristics and values of angiogenesis and physiological factors measured in perfusion magnetic resonance imaging techniques as well as metabolites in MRS, and PET tracer’s uptake is investigated.

Background: Chronic lateral epicondylitis can be a severe disabling condition. There is still lack of consensus on best treatment, as no single intervention has been proven to be superior regarding pain relief and improvement of function. Due to the self-limiting nature of this elbow condition, we are looking for a fast and safe treatment method to break through this pattern of pain and loss of elbow function. Autologous blood injection therapy by means of an automatic injection system, can be a promising new treatment option for this group of patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis. In this study, we evaluated the short-term results of autologous blood injection therapy in a standardized way by using an automatic injection system (=ITEC device) for the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis.
Methods: A total of 141 patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (88 female, 53 male) were enrolled in this clinical treatment evaluation being treated with the ITEC device. The mean age of the patients was 50.0 years (19 years-73 years). Numeric rating scale (NRS) and a patient reported outcome measurement tool (Oxford Elbow Score (OES)) were measured at baseline, six weeks and three months follow-up.
Results: Pain (NRS, OES) and elbow function / quality of life (OES) were significantly improved within 6 weeks after ITEC treatment. This improvement in NRS and OES sustained during the 3 months follow-up period.
Conclusion: Autologous blood injection therapy by means of a new automatic injection system (ITEC device) is a safe and effective treatment method for patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. More research is necessary to see if this effectiveness sustains in the long-term follow-up.
