Published: December 2024

La paracoccidioidomicosis (PCM) es una infeccion granulomatosa fungica causada por microorganismos termodimorficos del genero Paracoccidioides. Este hongo es endemico en regiones del Centro y Sur America y se relaciona con la agricultura. En adultos la afeccion es cronica, pero en niños el cuadro es agudo (juvenil) con un comportamiento agresivo. Se conoce que la gravedad de la enfermedad depende de la respuesta mediada por celulas del huesped. En la forma juvenil la infeccion pulmonar suele ser asintomatica y las manifestaciones estan relacionadas con la diseminacion del hongo al sistema reticuloendotelial. El diagnostico de laboratorio mediante microscopia optica es el metodo preferido, especialmente con el uso de tinciones de plata metenamina de Grocott y PAS. No hay pautas de tratamientos para niños y el manejo se extrapola a las recomendaciones de adultos. Es importante conocer la enfermedad para evitar retrasos en el manejo, y por ende un compromiso multisistemico y letal
Capitulo 1. Genotipos y Fenotipos Neuropsicológicos del Síndrome de Williams
Authors: Serrano-Juárez Carlos Alberto
Published: December 2024

El síndrome de Williams es un trastorno del neurodesarrollo ocasionado por una microdeleción en el cromosoma 7 región q11.23, lo que abarca un total de 26 genes en el 95% de los pacientes; sin embargo, se han reportado deleciones atípicas que abarcan una menor o mayor cantidad de genes. En este trabajo se describe el fenotipo neuropsicológico comúnmente reportado en el síndrome de Williams y su probable relación con diferentes genotipos. Estudios recientes de casos únicos y de grupos con pacientes con diferentes genotipos han permitido identificar que los genes LIMK1 y los pertenecientes a la familia GTF2I, podrían ser los que tienen una mayor implicación sobre las manifestaciones de la discapacidad intelectual, alteración visoespacial y cognición social; además la variabilidad en la gravedad del fenotipo podría asociarse a una menor o mayor cantidad de genes perdidos. Estudios de genética y neurociencias cognitivas con diferentes métodos de exploración cerebral podrían ayudar a una mayor comprensión de la relación entre genes, cerebro, cognición y conducta en el síndrome de Williams.
Capítulo 4. Evaluación Neuropsicológica de Pacientes con Síndrome de Williams
Authors: Domínguez-García Cintia Michelle
Published: December 2024

La evaluación neuropsicológica es un proceso integral que proporciona información sobre la expresión cognitiva, conductual y afectiva de una persona con una alteración cerebral. Las personas con síndrome de Williams (SW) suelen presentar un perfil neuropsicológico que se caracteriza por discapacidad intelectual de leve a moderada, conducta altamente sociable, fortaleza en el lenguaje expresivo y alteraciones importantes en atención, habilidades visoespaciales y funciones ejecutivas. La evaluación neuropsicológica se puede dividir en distintas fases: entrevista clínica, selección de herramientas (pruebas estandarizadas, observación, inventarios, entre otros), aplicación, análisis e interpretación de resultados, integración del caso, elaboración del reporte neuropsicológico y entrega de este. Los principales procesos cognitivos y aspectos que se recomiendan considerar en la evaluación neuropsicológica del SW son: capacidad intelectual, conducta adaptativa, lenguaje, atención, memoria, habilidades visoespaciales, funciones ejecutivas, habilidades académicas (lectoescritura y habilidades matemáticas) y aspectos conductuales y emocionales. Para evaluar a una persona con SW se requiere investigar acerca de las características del síndrome, considerando que la evaluación debe ser a la medida de cada individuo. Los hallazgos de una evaluación neuropsicológica aportan información relevante para aquellos que trabajan o se relacionan con personas con SW.

Se pueden utilizar estrategias de entrenamiento social y terapia del habla para maximizar su comunicación y adaptación social. En segundo lugar, se abordan los déficits visoespaciales y dominios específicos a través de terapias específicas, como la terapia ocupacional y ejercicios que estimulan las habilidades visuales y cognitivas. La atención y el apoyo psicológico son fundamentales tanto para los niños como para sus familias. La orientación y la educación sobre el síndrome son esenciales para comprender sus implicaciones y aprender a lidiar con ellas. La atención temprana y personalizada es fundamental para mejorar la calidad de vida de estos niños y promover su desarrollo integral.
V. Vynnychenko’s Works and His Ethical and Philosophical Vision of the World’s “Reorganization”
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Baydalova Ekaterina V.
Published: December 2024

The article considers the history of creation and the main provisions of the ethical and philosophical vision of the world’s “reorganization” created by extraordinary Ukrainian politician and writer V. Vynnychenko (1880–1951) in 1920–1930s based on the principle of “honesty with oneself,” tested by the author both in literary texts of the 1910s and in the private life. The concept, called by the thinker “concordism” (from French сoncorde — concord) and created on the synthesis of Marxism, Nietzschean, and Freudian ideas, is founded on the utopian idea that a new international and social order should be based on the voluntary consent among the countries and the harmony between the man and the society, the man and the nature, which could be possible only under the condition of inner harmony of each person. According to Vynnychenko, it could be obtained if a person follows a certain set of rules containing both moral guidelines and biomedical technologies. However, the principle of “honesty with oneself” (unity of thought, feeling, and deed) remained crucial to him.
Ekphrastic Interpretation of the Madonna in A. Blok’s “Italian Poems”
Authors:   University of Granada, Kovаrskaya Yulia , Arsentieva Natalia N. ,   University of Granada
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the visual imagery in A. Blok’s “Italian Poems” through the lens of Renaissance humanism aesthetics. This perspective allows for an interpretation of the work as a transition from an expression of a crisis linked to the poet’s loss of the ideal of the Eternal Feminine to a new worldview. The cycle reflects a departure from Platonic ideals, incorporating motifs of the Renaissance idyll, such as the beauty of nature, corporeal objectivity, and Dionysianism. Under the influence of the fine arts of the Quattrocento, which profoundly impacted him during a journey to Italy in 1909, the poet endeavors to attain a harmonious dualism in his depiction of the feminine image, thereby surmounting his creative crisis. Poetic ekphrasis, inspired by works of Fra Beato Angelico, F. Lippi, and Di Paolo Manni, plays a crucial role in crafting a humanistic image of the Madonna, merging spiritual and carnal elements (“Venus Coelestis” and “Venus Vulgaris”). In the poet’s view, Mary, depicted as a solitary figure in frescoes, icons, and statues, embodies all that is natural and beautiful in a woman, evoking both awe and sensual attraction in the lyrical character. In the concluding transformative ekphrasis, which features complex genre scenes, the poet reproduces episodes from Mary’s hagiography, based on the concept of sacred marriage, creating an impression of cosmic and dual existence.
M. Gorky and the 1935 Discussion About the Writer in Cinematography
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Plotnikova Anastasia G.
Published: December 2024

Based on previously unknown materials from the Archive of A.M. Gorky and RGALI, the article reveals the history and consequences of the meeting of writers, cinematographers, and composers held on April 10, 1935. With the spread of sound cinema, the verbal part of the cinematographic action began to play a more significant role, which aggravated the issue of “scenario hunger” and the participation of writers in the film process. A significant stage in this discussion was a meeting of artists in the Moscow House of Writers chaired by M. Gorky. The meeting was extremely controversial, and Gorky’s statements were then published in Pravda with the addition of some fragments that aggravated the confrontation. In response, the head of Soviet cinematography B.Z. Shumyatsky sent his article “On the Responsibility of Estimates” to the newspaper, sharply criticizing Gorky. An analysis of the circumstances and consequences of the 1935 conflict suggests that during this period, the struggle between the Union of Soviet Writers and the State Directorate of the Film and Photo Industry intensified not only in aesthetic, methodological, and production aspects but also in matters of ideological and political influence and the distribution of economic resources.
From “the Miraculous as Real” to “the Real as Miraculous”: On Evolution of Arab Travelogue in the 19th Century
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kudelin Alexander B. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: December 2024

The rise of the New Arabic literature was highlighted by the publication of several 19th-century travelogues by Egyptian authors: “The Extrication of Gold in Summarizing Paris” by al-Ṭahṭāwī, “The Sheikh’s Journey to The Russian Country” by al-Ṭanṭāwī, and “‛Alam al-dīn” by Mubārak. The celebration of the achievements of European technical progress and civilization in these works reveals their genetic closeness to the medieval genre of riḥla (Arab. “travel”), which unites the scientific and the artistic, balancing between the factual and the fictitious. In the New Arabic literature, travelogues are seen as offering simultaneously a continuation of medieval works of riḥla and a contrast to them. Both groups of Arabic works, medieval and new-Arabic, served to expand the horizon of compatriot readers through descriptions of uncommon phenomena that transgress the limits of their accustomed reality. The principal difference between the two groups of texts comes down to the following: the medieval works treat the miraculous (ʽadjā’ib, mirabilia) as an integral part of the real-world outlook of a medieval Arab Muslim, whereas in the writings of the Arab enlighteners, the miraculous is perceived as strange and outlandish and something having to do with the realities of foreign lands, alien to the Arab-Muslim world, which used to be almost intact, but in the 19th century opened up to many renewals from the outer world.
On the Reception of French Existentialism in the Cultural and Ideological Context of Late Stalinism (The Case of J.-P. Sartre)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tsyganov Dmitry M.
Published: December 2024

The perception of J.-P. Sartre’s intellectual and creative activity in Soviet post-war criticism and literary criticism has repeatedly altered due to ideological and cultural factors. In the context of the global confrontation between two aesthetic systems, “modernism” and “socialist realism,” the existentialist Sartre was perceived as the leading representative of “decadent bourgeois culture.” However, the period between the second half of the 1940s and the first half of the 1950s was a watershed for Sartre’s emerging reputation in the USSR. From the ideological enemy, he began to be positioned as a “fellow traveler” of the Communist Party and, towards the end of the Stalinist era, as an “ally” of the Soviet regime. These changes influenced critical rhetoric and determined the angle of interpretation of the ideas of French existentialism. The scientific novelty of this article in the field of Russian and French studies is that it considers the “negative reception” of Sartre’s philosophy and work in connection with the opposition “bourgeois modernism” / “socialist realism.” A detailed analysis of texts appearing in central periodicals and archival sources enables us to reconstruct this implicit line of late Stalinist cultural policy.
Refraction of Hoffmann’s Traditions in the Story “Torrents of Spring” by I. S. Turgenev
Authors:   Vladimir State University, Koroleva Vera V.
Published: December 2024

The article examines the story “Torrents of Spring” (1872) by I. S. Turgenev from the point of view of the presence of Hoffmann’s traditions, manifested in the mythologization of the name of the German writer E. T. A. Hoffmann and the rethinking of the plot of his short story “Mistakes” (1820). At the same time, the article considers Hoffmann’s problems, stylistics, and imaginative system, which are presented in the form of an ideological and thematic “Hoffmann complex” that includes the following features: the technique of “playing” with the plots of other people’s works; an appeal to Hoffmann’s type of character; the mirror principle of constructing the story; and Hoffmann’s stylistics. The article concludes that I. S. Turgenev, relying on Hoffmann’s tradition, sets an ironic tone for the narrative to criticize the modern trend of imitation of fashionable literary plots and cultural patterns. Turgenev uses well- known plots in an inverted way: he makes fun of not only the literary stereotypes of the era but also the characters themselves, who live and act according to the roles they have chosen. By modeling national types, Turgenev comes to problems of a universal, all-human nature.
Ivan the Terrible and His Activities in the Assessment of F. M. Dostoevsky
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University, Smyslova Olga N.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the issues of F. M. Dostoevsky’s understanding of the role of Ivan the Terrible’s state activity in Russian history and the reflection of the writer’s ideas about the personality of Ivan the Terrible in works of art and literary criticism. The article notes the importance of a detailed study of the references in the writer’s work to the events and figures of the past periods, the attention to which until recently was on the periphery of scientific interests, and if it was covered, then along the way, when considering the historiosophical views of the writer and mainly on the material of journalism. The article points to the writer’s interest in the figure of Ivan the Terrible as a monarch and a person. It emphasizes that the writer’s attitude toward this ruler was influenced by reading The History of the Russian State by N. M. Karamzin. If, in his artistic work, Dostoevsky is attracted primarily by Ivan the Terrible as a split and tragically complex personality, then, in A Writer’s Diary, the talent of a statesman is put in the first place, whose experience can be helpful in solving the Eastern question vital for the era. At the same time, observations are made on Dostoevsky’s understanding of the “historical” truth and the specifics of the writer’s interpretation of historical plots.
Kolotsk Dormition Monastery in Manuscript Materials of the Russian State Library and Other Sources
Authors:   Russian State Library, Zinkevich Tatiana E.
Published: December 2024

The article reviews the manuscript and printed sources related to the Koloch Icon of the Mother of God and the Kolotsk Dormition Monastery. A considerable part of the study relies on manuscripts from the Russian State Library. The article pays particular attention to literary works, which reflect the history of the discovery of the wonderworking icon and the stages of the monastery’s development from the 15th century to the present. The editions of the Tale of Luke of Koloch are considered on the example of the copies from the Manuscript Department of the Russian State Library. The research shows the necessity of studying the sources from several points of view, such as literary analysis of the text and axiological research. Such an approach shows the strengthening of Christian motifs in the copies of the 18th century. The article reveals a new copy of the beginning of the 20th century with a brief description of the Kolotsk monastery and introduces it into scientific circulation. The considered letters and memoirs describe the participation of the Kolotsk monastery in the events significant for Russia, including the Patriotic War of 1812.
The Poetic Reflection on Catherine Park from Pushkin to the Present Day: “The Obelisks of Glory and Victory”
Authors:   Pskov State University, Razumovskaya Aida G.
Published: December 2024

The article comprehensively approaches the theme of military victories in the poetic reflection of Catherine Park in Tsarskoye Selo, enriching the perception of the semantics of the place that has the stable definition of the “motherland of muses” in the cultural memory. The extensive background of Russian poetry starting from the Enlightenment exposes the clear, obscure, or concealed evolution of the perception of the Park as the space of memory, historical reminiscences, and the pantheon of Russian glory. The analysis of the 18th–19th-centuries poetry material of various styles and trends, from classicism and romanticism to acmeism and its successors, makes transparent the choice of the objects for reflection as well as enables us to see the dynamics and transformation of their interpretation in various historical epochs. The author particularly focuses on the Park symbolism ascending to A. S. Pushkin’s poetry: Kagul obelisk and Chesme Column crowned with the victorious eagle. One can trace this Pushkin tradition of monuments’ interpretation in the artwork of those poets of Tsarskoye Selo who lived in the former Soviet Union or emigrated. The author concludes that poets’ appeal to the allegories of patriotism and dedicated service to the Motherland gained a prominent focus in crucial times, such as a war or revolution. In peaceful times, the landscape sceneries dominate in perception, transforming the artistic “Universe” of the Park into “the country of imagination” and the symbol of the Eden of love and creativity.
An exploration of ESG activities and firm performance of global companies during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Rao Sunita S. , Juma Norma
Published: December 2024

This study aims to discern the caliber of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures and understand their interrelation with corporate financial health during the global health crisis. Employing two-year lagged models and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, we analyzed firms within the S&P Global 1200 index using data from S&P Capital IQ Pro. The dataset includes ESG discrete scores, composite ESG scores, and additional ESG metrics spanning fiscal years 2018–2019 and their impact on firm performance during fiscal years 2020–2021. Our sample comprises 1200 publicly listed entities from approximately 29 nations, representing over seventy percent of global market capitalization. The analysis reveals a negative correlation between ESG scores and both cumulative raw returns and abnormal stock returns during the pandemic. However, ESG scores are negatively associated with stock volatility and idiosyncratic volatility, indicating reduced risk and greater stability for long-term investors. These findings support the hypothesis that superior ESG performance contributes to stock price stability during crises but may not enhance short-term financial returns. This study underscores the importance of ESG activities in mitigating risks and enhancing resilience, aligning with extant literature. However, our results differ from those of Albuquerque et al. (2020), who found that high environmental and social scores led to higher returns and lower volatility in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, our results also differ from Engelhardt et al. (2021) and Lins et al. (2017), both of whom identified that firms with strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices exhibit higher returns and lower volatility, especially during crises.
Utilizing Deep Learning for Field-Level Information Extraction from German Real Estate Tax Notices
Authors: Rombach Alexander M. , Lahann Johannes , Niesen Tim , Fettke Peter
Published: December 2024

Document processing and related tasks such as information extraction represent a large portion of business workloads and therefore offer high potential for efficiency improvements and process automation. Although semistructured documents such as invoices and receipts have been extensively studied, tax notices represent a largely unexplored area due to their information richness and layout complexity. This article presents a study investigating the potential of deep learning-based information extraction for German real estate tax notices. We propose a hybrid approach based on the LayoutLM transformer model that uses textual, positional, and visual information as well as a rule-based information extraction. We show how such a system can be developed and integrated into the business workflow of organizations on the example of a German tax consulting firm. We also discuss the implications and key challenges that organizations face when planning to adopt such technologies.

A study on the Concept of Glocal in Education
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Jung Dae-hun , Park Soo-jung
Published: December 2024

The term glocal, a blend of "global" and "local," is increasingly prevalent in educational settings and policies. However, its meaning and pedagogical implications remain underexplored. This study aims to analyze the concept and applications of glocal in education to establish a foundational framework for glocal education.
To achieve this, the study first examines the concept of glocalization and then analyzes its usage in education through media reports and prior research. Prior studies predominantly focused on two areas: using glocal as a keyword and exploring "glocal competencies." Media analysis revealed that glocal is often associated with universities outside the metropolitan area and government-initiated policies, such as the “Glocal University 30” initiative.
This research defines glocal education as "education that fosters glocal competencies—such as global citizenship, understanding and engagement with local communities, and contributing to humanity and the broader community—based on regional and local contexts." Glocal competencies include global citizenship, understanding and engagement with local communities, community-mindedness, multicultural competence, and global skills.
In education, glocal is actively practiced in higher education but is also applicable to school education, community-based education, and lifelong learning. It can be approached from the perspective of global citizenship education rooted in regions and places. Glocal applies to all regions and should not remain merely as a keyword for "Education in non-capital regions" or policy project titles.
A Study on Paradox Phenomena in a Process to Push Forward a Higher Vocational Education[HiVE] Hub Distract Project
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Bae Sang Myeong
Published: December 2024

In South Korea, the government has pushed forward the Higher Vocational Education[HiVE] project which envisions the development of vocational colleges in a win-win relationship with the community by "turning vocational colleges into bases for local-based higher vocational education." As part of the policy to innovate vocational colleges, this project reacts to local extinction and the decreasing school-age population and reeducates and enhances the middle-aged wishing for reemployment in the community by cultivating a labor force for the areas of local specialization and supporting the local settlement of young talents. This study aims to investigate paradox phenomena in a process to push forward a HiVE project and find their implications for educational policies. For these purposes, the study traced paradoxical phenomena involving different results from the ultimate goal of the project and each of its items or different arguments that are hard to coexist.
The findings found paradox phenomena in every area of the project. For each area of a HiVE project, the addition of new courses customized for local settlement led to the phenomena of clashing subcomponents and contexts due to concept application errors. The area of lifelong education to advance lifelong vocations had a paradox of contradicting policy needs. The area of lifelong education for general courses had a paradox with the legitimacy of policy needs. The area of projects contributing to the community had a paradox of interpretational gaps. In conclusion, there were paradoxes across all the areas of pushing forward the policy.
These paradoxes provide two major implications. First, there is a concern that it will be difficult to implement a HiVE project in the way that it is intended. It is true that there should be selective and temporary financial support policies to achieve the goals, but the issues involving the crisis of local colleges are long-term and require government-wide joint measures. Secondly, the paradoxes of HiVE projects imply a need to expand programs to develop lifetime competencies and promote the employment and start-up of the middle-aged by graduating from the current emphasis on the local settlement of young talents.
Why did students in the neighborhood choose the local private C university
Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Oh Jaejoon , Song Kyoung-oh , Ko Eunae , Kim Youngji
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to explore the selection factors influencing local students' choice of local private universities and to offer strategic recommendations for how these institutions can more effectively attract students. A single case study was conducted involving nine students admitted to a local private C University in Gwangju Metropolitan City through their strong performance in the undergraduate comprehensive entrance examination. Data collection and analysis were performed using Ginoshita's modified grounded theory approach.
The findings revealed that students' decision to attend Local C University could be interpreted as a strategic action aimed at maximizing economic efficiency and future economic prospects. Notably, the relocation of public institutions specializing in electricity and AI to an innovation city near Gwangju has resulted in the implementation of recruitment policies prioritizing local talent. This employment prospect significantly influenced students' choice of C University. Furthermore, the university's extensive alumni network and positive reputation were identified as factors that enhanced students' perceived competitiveness in the labor market.
For rural students, parental advice and support emerged as a critical component of the decision-making process. This reflects the strong family-oriented values characteristic of Asian cultures. Rural students often face substantial economic and psychological challenges when considering enrollment at metropolitan universities, thus making parental experience and local social networks essential sources of practical and realistic guidance. This support aids students in making rational choices that consider long-term economic stability and utility.

In retail companies, the owner needs sales analysis to make decisions in the company's business processes. Several previous studies have introduced forecasting techniques using regression analysis, and classification approaches that need optimization. This article proposes a new approach to sales prediction using XGBoost, which is optimized by comparing the best performance from three optimization methods: Random search, grid search, and Bayesian optimization. The aim is to obtain the best comparative analysis and increase prediction accuracy. The novelty of the proposed model is determining the best value for each optimization method using XGBoost. The results of the evaluation show that the best results were achieved by the grid search optimization technique in the XGBoost model with an increase in the evaluation value R^2 from 97.31 to 98.41. The results of the proposed model analysis can help retail business owners in accurate sales predictions to determine the development of business processes.

Music is a creative form of expression that utilizes sound arranged in specific patterns to create artistic works that are enjoyable to the listener. However, in music, excessive or continuous exposure to loud sounds can damage the hair cells in the ear, potentially leading to hearing loss or even deafness. One challenge in musical instrument craftsmanship is the variation in sound produced by different kantil artisans. These differences in sound output lead to inconsistencies in the rhythm of the angklung gamelan in Bali. This research addresses the issue by focusing on the process of synthesizing kantil sounds to achieve a more consistent output. The research begins by inputting audio files for each sound bar in  format. The recorded audio data undergoes preprocessing using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, which extracts key features from the dataset, such as the fundamental frequency. Additionally, the Hilbert Transform is applied to obtain the optimal sound each blade, which will later be used in the Frequency Modulation process. Once preprocessing is completed on the dataset for each blade, the fundamental frequency and signal are acquired. To evaluate the accuracy of the synthesis, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is calculated to compare the original signal with the synthesized signal. This step helps determine the degree of difference between the two signals. Ultimately, the result is a synthesized kantil sound that closely resembles the original, helping to standardize sound output among different craftsmen and ensuring consistency in musical performances

The Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing algorithm optimised using the Modified Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (MIPSO) algorithm is an algorithm that is able to provide good sales data forecasting results. However, there is a problem that when the iteration process is carried out using 1 computer, it takes a long time to finally get the test results. It is necessary to optimise the computational process to get more optimal and efficient results. This research will combine parallel computing technology and cloud computing technology to help speed up the computing process. The results of this research show that the more server used, the greater the reduction in execution time that occurs, because heavy computing tasks can be distributed more efficiently to many machines. This is evident from the comparison between single server and parallel server. Then the combination of more cores and servers produces the most optimal configuration in accelerating computation.
