Authors: BERDZENISHVILI Nana
Published: November 2023

Water resources are one of the most important natural resources of Georgia. Thereare 26060 rivers with total length 58987 km. A base of hydrographic network are smallrivers with length less than 25km and total length 50480 km.Georgia’s territory is dividedin two main regions: Black Sea basin and Caspian Sea basin. Total natural river runofffrom the territory of Georgia is 56.4km3 and to the territory (from Armenia and Turkey)- 8.74 km3. Thus, total water supplies amount for 65.4 km3. Rioni River is Imereti’smain artery of water. It is a left tributary of the largest river Imereti hills - Kvirila, which isconnected with Dzirula Chherimeloy, and the right side connects with the waters of theRioni Tskhenistskali. Rioni water is used in production, and communal services of thepopulation. On both sides of the Rioni are large industrial facilities that degrade waterquality. The problem of water resources protection in Imereti and rational use of it, onthe one hand, has created increasing demand for water by industry, and, on the otherside, of reservoirs pollution. Water pollution in the Rioni begins with the origins. Fromtraditional polluting facilities should be noted Kvaisskoe, Tutiyskoe businesses, a lot ofOni and Ambrolauri businesses that poured on the raw water in the Rioni. And the mostpolluted river in the territory of Kutaisi.

SACRAMENT OF EUCHARIST ACCORDING TO EXPOSITIO SYMBOLI APOSTOLORUM BY JOHANNES MARIENWERDER
Authors: Karczewski Marek
Published: November 2023

The article is called Sacrament of Eucharist according to “Expositio Symboli Apostolorum” by Johannes Marienwerder. The subject of the analysis is late medieval work of Johannes Marienwerder (Jan z Kwidzyna) (1342–1417) Expositio Symboli Apostolorum (1399–1401). The theme of the Eucharist is interesting for at least two reasons. The late 14th century is the time of extremities: intensification of the postulates of Eucharistic revival and emergence of views which negated Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist. References to a discussion on the subject can be found in Expositio. Second, discussing the views of Johannes Marienwerder on the Eucharist presented in Expositio can provide a supplement for studies of the eucharistic piety of blessed Dorothea of Montau. The following issues are dealt with in this paper. The first section presents the state of debate on the Eucharist in Prague circles in the late 14th century. Postulates of frequent Holy Communion appeared. There were currents negating the Catholic teachings on Eucharist in Prague at the time. The second section discusses the theology of the Eucharist as presented in Expositio.It can be described as a form of apology of the Catholic teachings on the Eucharist. Moreover, the Prologue to Johannes Marienwerder’s work contains a series of brief practical guidelines mainly concerning the celebration of the mass. One should hope that this study will be useful both to theologians and to other scholars who deal with the literary circles of the late Mediaeval Pomesania and also the pre-Hussite period.
RITUAL OF CHRISTMAS EVE SUPPER IN THE OPOCZNO REGION. TRADITION AND THE PRESENT DAY
Authors: Kupisiński Zdzisław
Published: November 2023

This article presents the customs, rituals and beliefs of the Christmas Eve supper in the Opoczno subregion, both those practiced at the beginning of the 20th century and those that have survived to the present day. To address the problem at hand, the author has used his own factual material, collected during ethnographic field research conducted in Opoczno in 1990–1993, as well as the literature on the subject. The author’s intention is not only to present the preparations for the Christmas Eve feast and its course but also to show the customs and rituals of this day and supper as rites of passage according to the theories of Arnold van Gennep. These rituals assume three phases: preliminal, liminal and postliminal. In the first phase, a break is made with the previous reality and everyday life in order to enter a state of suspension, i.e. a transitional state, and after performing the rituals specified by tradition, to reach a new reality. The realization of rites of passage can be seen in the inner experiences of the participants at the Christmas Eve feast, which has a religious character.
TRADYCJA I JEJ ZNACZENIE W KOŚCIELE DOMOWYM
Authors: Mikołajczak Sylwia
Published: November 2023

Tradycja to możliwość przekazu pokoleniowego dóbr kulturowych i religijnych. W chrześcijaństwie oparta jest na Osobie Jezusa Chrystusa i Jego misji zbawczej. Kościół jako tra­dent Bożego Objawienia w historii ma zadanie głoszenie autentycznej Ewangelii oraz uobecniać misterium zbawienia. Urzeczywistnieniem Kościoła powszechnego w codziennej egzystencji jest Kościół domowy. Ukazanie rodziny jako podstawowej wspólnoty eklezjalnej jest wyrazem odnowy po Soborze Watykańskim II. Postawiony w artykule problem zawiera się w pytaniu: w jaki sposób rodzina, jako Kościół domowy, ma udział w przekazie Objawienia Bożego? W odpowiedzi na tak sformułowane pytanie badawcze należy przede wszystkim wskazać, że właśnie to Tradycja jest elementem tego Objawienia, a jej podmiotem, oprócz Urzędu Nauczycielskiego Kościoła, jest cały Lud Boży. I dlatego rodzina, w zakresie zadań Kościoła domowego, powinna również uczestniczyć w tym procesie. Ukazano to w dwóch aspektach: wychowania w wierze i udziale w życiu liturgicz­nym.

SUBMERGED ON THE SURFACE
Authors: Lutjens Jr. Richard N.
Published: November 2023

Between 1941 and 1945, thousands of German Jews, in fear for their lives, made the choice to flee their impending deportations and live submerged in the shadows of the Nazi capital. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence and interviews with survivors, this book reconstructs the daily lives of Jews who stayed in Berlin during the war years. Contrary to the received wisdom that “hidden” Jews stayed in attics and cellars and had minimal contact with the outside world, the author reveals a cohort of remarkable individuals who were constantly on the move and actively fought to ensure their own survival.

STRUCTURES OF PROTECTION?
Authors: Scott-Smith Tom , Breeze Mark E.
Published: November 2023

Questioning what shelter is and how we can define it, this volume brings together essays on different forms of refugee shelter, with a view to widening public understanding about the lives of forced migrants and developing theoretical understanding of this oft-neglected facet of the refugee experience. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, law, architecture, and history, each of the chapters describes a particular shelter and uses this to open up theoretical reflections on the relationship between architecture, place, politics, design and displacement.
ECOLOGICAL NOSTALGIAS
Authors: Angé Olivia , Berliner David
Published: November 2023

Introducing the study of econostalgias through a variety of rich ethnographic cases, this volume argues that a strictly human centered approach does not account for contemporary longings triggered by ecosystem upheavals. In this time of climate change, this book explores how nostalgia for fading ecologies unfolds into the interstitial spaces between the biological, the political and the social, regret and hope, the past, the present and the future.
WAITHOOD

Published: November 2023

The concept of “Waithood” was developed by political scientist Diane Singerman to describe the expanding period of time between adolescence and full adulthood as young people wait to secure steady employment and marry. The contributors to this volume employ the waithood concept as a frame for richly detailed ethnographic studies of “youth in waiting” from a variety of world areas, including the Middle East Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S, revealing that whether voluntary or involuntary, the phenomenon of youth waithood necessitates a recognition of new gender and family roles.
VERTIGINOUS LIFE
Authors: Knight Daniel M.
Published: November 2023

Vertiginous Life provides a theory of the intense temporal disorientation brought about by life in crisis. In the whirlpool of unforeseen social change, people experience confusion as to where and when they belong on timelines of previously unquestioned pasts and futures. Through individual stories from crisis Greece, this book explores the everyday affects of vertigo: nausea, dizziness, breathlessness, the sense of falling, and unknowingness of Self. Being lost in time, caught in the spin-cycle of crisis, people reflect on belonging to modern Europe, neoliberal promises of accumulation, defeated futures, and the existential dilemmas of life held captive in the uncanny elsewhen.
White Eagle Black Eagle

Studying the German-Polish ethnic relations, this book analyses the people and region through their respective borderlands, migration, official cooperation and unofficial suspicions across the border. The main conclusion is that, while officialdom is generally keen to develop cross-border ties, which ordinary people do take advantage of, these tend to be much more sceptical of the potential impact to their lives in what remains an economically depressed area despite cross-border cooperation having been possible for several decades.

Mass customization is a dynamic production approach catering to individualized orders. This study addresses the crucial concern of maintaining high-quality standards in woven shirt mass customization. This research delves into defect analysis and quality control, focusing on identifying, categorizing, and mitigating defects in the production process. By meticulously inspecting semi-finished and finished products, defects were recorded systematically on check sheets. Leveraging Pareto analysis, major and minor defects were prioritized, emphasizing critical issues that demand immediate attention. Additionally, a cause-effect diagram was employed to visually map the root causes behind these defects, paving the way for effective preventive measures. Findings highlight the challenges within woven shirt mass customization and underscore the significance of robust quality control. Notably, this research achieved reductions of 6.67% in the cutting section, 16.11% in the sewing section, and 11.11% in the finishing section defects. These outcomes translate into improved product quality and heightened customer satisfaction. This research provides insights for decision-makers and practitioners in the domain, encouraging the integration of comprehensive quality control methods into the production process. By focusing on defect analysis and causal factors, researchers anticipate a positive impact on the industry, resulting in enhanced product quality.

We are concerned with the long-time solvability for 2D inviscid Boussinesq equations for a larger class of initial data which covers the case of borderline regularity. First we show the local solvability in Besov spaces uniformly with respect to a parameter κ associated with the stratification of the fluid. Afterwards, employing a blow-up criterion and Strichartz-type estimates, the long-time solvability is obtained for large κ regardless of the size of initial data.
Albumin-bilirubin score predicts trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer
Authors: Huang Wen-Juan , Yuan Jia-Rui , Zhang Lei , Wang Wen , Miao Shi-Di , Wang Xin , Wang Rui-Tao
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND: The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score is a novel indicator of liver function. Some studies showed that the ALBI score was a predictive marker for the prognosis and efficacy of drug therapy in malignancies. We aimed to assess the predicted role of ALBI score in the sensitivity to therapy with trastuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer (BC). The clinical data of 226 HER2-positive BC patients at the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January 2017 and December 2018 were retrospectively collected. The ALBI score was calculated with serum albumin and bilirubin before diagnosis. The associations between ALBI score and trastuzumab resistance were analyzed by logistic regression analyses. The patients with trastuzumab resistance had higher ALBI scores compared with the patients without trastuzumab resistance. Moreover, there were weak correlations between the ALBI score and lymph node status (P= 0.093). In addition, multivariate analysis revealed that the ALBI score was an independent prognostic factor for trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive BC. High ALBI score is associated with trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive BC. Future studies are needed.

Published: November 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the elderly. Incomplete knowledge about the pathogenesis of this disease determines the absence of medications for the treatment of AD today. Animal models can provide the necessary knowledge to understand the mechanisms of biochemical processes occurring in the body in health and disease. Objective: To identify the most promising metabolomic predictors and biomarkers reflecting metabolic disorders in the development of AD signs. Methods: High resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy was used for quantitative metabolomic profiling of the hippocampus of OXYS rats, an animal model of sporadic AD, which demonstrates key characteristics of this disease. Animals were examined during several key periods: 20 days group corresponds to the “preclinical” period preceding the development of AD signs, during their manifestation (3 months), and active progression (18 months). Wistar rats of the same age were used as control. Results: Ranges of variation and mean concentrations were established for 59 brain metabolites. The main metabolic patterns during aging, which are involved in energy metabolism pathways and metabolic shifts of neurotransmitters, have been established. Of particular note is the significant increase of scyllo-inositol and decrease of hypotaurine in the hippocampus of OXYS rats as compared to Wistars for all studied age groups. Conclusions: We suggest that the accumulation of scyllo-inositol and the reduction of hypotaurine in the brain, even at an early age, can be considered as predictors and potential biomarkers of the development of AD signs in OXYS rats and, probably, in humans.

Interrogating Okooro Masquerade: A Structuralists Reading of the Costumes
Authors: Omosule Segun
Published: November 2023

There is a gulf between the script and the artist's intention when analyzing indigenous festivals. The task confronting a critic is to isolate the artist's intention and navigate the sea of esoteric through the available tools. This difficulty specifically confronts the interpretation of indigenous masquerades. While deploying structuralism and aesthetics, the endeavor is to attempt an explication of the text through eclecticism. An honest critic will quickly resort to eclecticism-which is the deployment of tools depending on the capability of yielding meaning. This study does not find it out of place to dine with the structuralist model with special attention on the synchronic dimension of meaning while exploring aesthetics at the same time. With the help of eclecticism, the study situates masquerades within entertainment and concludes that indigenous attempts at providing pleasure must have informed the emergence of masquerades.

Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea is still a problem experienced by many female students. Many negative impacts arise due to dysmenorrhea so there needs to be an intervention to overcome this. Murottal Ar-Rahman and Aromatherapy are believed can reduce pain intensity. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of giving Al-Rahman letter murottal therapy accompanied by giving lemon aromatherapy to reduce dysmenorrhoea pain. A pre-experimental study with an one group pre-posttest without control design was conducted in this study. Data analysis used paired t test. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. Namely with a total of 20 respondents, of pain intensity using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire. Before giving a pre-test, 3 drops of aromatherapy were applied to the tissue which would later be inhaled accompanied by murottal Ar-Rahman for 15 minutes. After that, a post-test was given. The results of this study indicate that there is a decrease in the pain scale before and after giving murottal surah Ar-Rahman accompanied by giving lemon aromatherapy. The average value of pain before administration of murottal surah Ar-Rahman accompanied by giving lemon aromatherapy is 6.40, after giving murottal surah Ar-Rahman accompanied by giving lemon aromatherapy it decreased to 2.80. Comparative test results using paired t test obtained p value = 0.000 (p value <0.005) with a mean difference of 3.60. The conclusion is that giving murottal surah Ar-Rahman accompanied by lemon aromatherapy is effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain intensity (p value <0.05).

Background: Mothers with disabled children often express emotions, such as aggression and criticism toward their children. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of solution-focused narrative therapy (SFNT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on managing the expressed emotions of mothers of boys with gross motor disabilities. Methods: This quasi-experimental study has a pre-test-post-test design with intervention and control groups. The research population consisted of all the mothers of children with gross motor disabilities referred to the “Success Counseling Center” in Tehran City, Iran, in 2022. A total of 45 eligible mothers were selected and randomly assigned to three groups: Two intervention groups and one control group (each 15). The SFNT was held in nine 90-minute sessions and the MBSR therapy in eight 90-minute sessions. The data were collected with the level of expressed emotion scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency, percentage, Mean±SD, and the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and LSD post hoc test in SPSS software, version 26. The significance level was set at P<0.05. Results: The post-test results showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of expressed emotion of the three groups (P<0.05). However, compared to MBSR, SFNT demonstrated greater efficacy in reducing mothers’ expressed negative emotions (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both therapies effectively reduced expressed negative emotions in mothers with disabled male children. However, SFNT had a greater effect on expressed emotion compared to MBSR. In addition to pharmacological treatments, psychological interventions (SFNT and MBSR) can help mothers of boys with gross motor disabilities manage their expressed emotions and care for their children better.

The article is one of the first attempts to provide a comprehensive study of the theoretical and practical foundations for the scientific idea of establishing a Special International Tribunal on investigation of the russian aggression against Ukraine and determining its place in the system of international criminal justice.

The problematic issues of establishing a Special International Tribunal to investigate the russian aggression against Ukraine have been studied. The organisational and legal efforts of the Council of Europe, NATO, OSCE and the EU in creating an international mechanism to bring the top political and military leadership of russia to justice for its aggression against Ukraine have been revealed. The attention is focused on the international legal analysis of the models for the future special tribunal, as well as its jurisdiction. The main challenges for the international community in establishing a special international tribunal to investigate the russian aggression against Ukraine are identified.

It has been noted that the establishment of a Special International Tribunal to investigate the crime of russian aggression against Ukraine should become an effective mechanism for investigating and documenting violations of International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law committed by russia on the territory of Ukraine with the identification of those responsible; compensation for victims and restoration of justice for the Ukrainian people from russia's full-scale armed attack; deterrence of aggressive and destabilising actions of the russian federation, which violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. At the same time, the establishment of a Special Tribunal will have an impact on preventing the recurrence of such crimes, impunity and setting a precedent for similar situations in the future; it will also play an important role in strengthening international law and norms, especially in the context of armed conflicts and aggression between states; as well as it will contribute to the restoration of confidence and stability in the region and around the world, and demonstrate the solidarity of the international community with Ukraine in its struggle to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The participation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforces is overwhelmingly low as compared to their male counterparts. The low uptake of cybersecurity careers has been documented in the previous studies conducted in the contexts of the West and Eastern worlds. However, most of the past studies mainly covered the Western world leaving more knowledge gaps in the context of Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia. Thus, to fill the existing knowledge gaps, the current study focused on women in Saudi Arabia. The aim of the study was to investigate the factors behind the underrepresentation of Saudi women in the cybersecurity space by specifically targeting the existing socio-cultural barriers. The study used a qualitative design that entailed reliance on both primary interview data and additional evidence from prior literature to evaluate the barriers faced by Saudi women in cybersecurity. A sample of 15 Saudi women aged 18 – 30 years with a college education or still in college pursuing a course in IT (Information Technology) or had basic computer literacy skills was purposefully recruited as the most desirable participants. A thematic analysis process was conducted on the primary data to generate theory from the findings, further compared with and verified based on a critical literature review. The themes that were generated from the interviews include lack of autonomy, family responsibilities, female as the weaker gender, and child bearing and caring duties.

Rubber seeds are one of the products from rubber plantations which are in large numbers but have not been utilized. The flesh of the seeds contains vegetable oil of 45.63% of rubber seeds and can be used as raw material for edible oil. The hard shell of rubber seeds can also be used, one of them being biobriquettes.This study aims to separate the rubber seed flesh from the shell with a mechanically designed crusher and separator of the rubber seed flesh from the rubber seed shell. This machine is designed and made using a single roller crusher as a rubber seed crusher and at the output there is a static sieve to separate the rubber seed shell and rubber seed flesh. The dimensions of this machine are 1310 mm × 500 mm × 600 mm. The results showed the effective capacity of 46.998%, with the percentage of seeds left behind by 17%. The yield of rubber seed flesh is 31.17%, the yield of rubber seed shell is 67% with losses of 1.84%. The power consumption, break event point and internal rate of return (IRR) of this machine are 7.43 kWh, 1.247,58 kg/year and 55.63%, respectively. The use of this machine is considered feasible due to its NPV > 0.

This communication presents the results of studies of coherently synchronized reactions of 2-picoline oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and nitrous oxide (I) in the gas phase. Optimal conditions for obtaining target products in these reactions are revealed. The influence of the process parameters on the value of the determinant in the reactions: dealcodimerization of 2-picoline with hydrogen peroxide and dimerization of 2-picoline with nitrous oxide (I) is shown. Calculated in the reaction of deal-codimerization of 2-picoline with hydrogen peroxide, the determinant of chemical conjugation has a value of D = 0.17 under optimal conditions, which indicates the induced character of dealcodimerization of 2-picoline. Based on this value, a quantitative assessment of the influence of the primary reaction (decomposition of hydrogen peroxide) on the secondary one (dealcodimerization of 2-picoline) was given. In the reaction of dimerization of 2-picoline with nitrous oxide (I), the chemical conjugation determinant has, under optimal conditions, a value of D = 0.54, which, according to the chemical interference scale, is in the region of chemical conjugation, when the primary reaction (the decomposition of nitrous oxide (I)) accelerates the secondary reaction (dimerization of 2-picoline)
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ СТВОРЕННЯ ЕФЕКТУ ДРАМАТИЧНОЇ НАПРУГИ В РОМАНІ “NEVER LET ME GO” ТА ЇХ ВІДТВОРЕННЯ В ПЕРЕКЛАДІ

Стаття присвячена дослідженню лінгвостилістичних особливостей створення ефекту драматичної напруги в творі Кадзуо Ішіґуро “Never Let Me Go” та їх відтворення в українському варіанті твору «Не відпускай мене». Сучасний літературний простір насичений творами, які вирізняються різноманітністю жанрово-композиційних рішень і одночасно задовольняють індивідуальну потребу читача в пошуку відповідей на вічні екзистенційні питання, створюючи ірраціональний образ навколишнього світу. У цьому контексті доречно розглядати творчість британського письменника японського походження Кадзуо Ішіґуро, автора роману “Never Let Me Go”, в якому поряд з багатими психологічними портретами героїв присутні диспути на важливі морально-етичні проблеми. Незважаючи на значну кількість досліджень творчості Ішіґуро, лінгвостилістичні особливості його творів та їх відтворення у перекладі залишаються менше дослідженими. Зважаючи на жанрову специфіку твору, який відносимо до сучасних антиутопій, драматична напруга в ньому відіграє особливу роль, оскільки допомагає підтримувати цікавість читача як до глобальної проблеми клонування, так і до внутрішніх переживань героїв. Застосовуючи комплексний методологічний підхід, було з’ясовано, що драматична напруга у творі проявляється здебільшого на трьох рівнях: обговорення таємничих подій серед студентів, суперечки щодо джерела цих таємниць та роздуми, присвячені загальному становищу героїв-клонів. Вербалізація драматичного напруження в оригіналі та перекладі роману в основному досягається за допомогою таких номінативних одиниць, як mystery / таємниця, danger / небезпека та fear / страх у різних варіативних лексичних комбінаціях. В українському перекладі твору авторства Софії Андрухович відчуття драматичної напруги не поступається оригіналу, що дає підстави говорити про його високий мистецький рівень. Подальше дослідження може бути спрямоване на докладний порівняльний аналіз лексично-стилістичних особливостей творів автора, зокрема враховуючи їхню жанрову природу.
