The myth theology of priest Pavel Florensky
Authors: Даренский В.Ю.
Published: May 2024

В статье рассматривается «богословие мифа» священника Павла Флоренского как нетривиальный философско-богословский подход к пониманию онтологии мифа и его базовых функций в культуре. Показана эвристичность этой концепции, в которой соединены два аспекта мифогенезиса: языковой и мистический. Мифотворчество в культуре имманентно обусловлено «магической» природой слова и языка, т. е. его способностью творить человеческую реальность; благодаря этому слово и символ оформляют мистическое постижение мира в его «родстве» с человеком. С другой стороны, миф является внешней «оболочкой» культа, которая «отслаивается» от него, профанирует и погибает. Этим задается циклический характер бытия культурных форм как развертывания культа в историческом времени. Такой подход к пониманию мифа позволил о. Павлу Флоренскому указать на сущностную преемственность между языческим и христианским культом, при котором первый выступает как прообраз, а второй — как исполнение чаемого откровения.

The article discusses the “theology of myth” of fr. Pavel Florensky as a non-trivial philosophical and theological approach to understanding the ontology of myth and its basic functions in culture. The heuristic nature of this concept is shown, in which two aspects of mythogenesis are combined: linguistic and mystical. Myth–making in culture is immanently conditioned by the “magical” nature of the word and language — that is, its ability to create human reality; thanks to this, the word and symbol formalize the mystical comprehension of the world in its “kinship” with man. On the other hand, the myth is the outer “shell” of the cult, which “peels off” from it, profanes and perishes. This sets the cyclical nature of the existence of cultural forms as the unfolding of a cult in historical time. This approach to understanding the myth allowed fr. Pavel Florensky to point out the essential continuity between pagan and Christian cult, in which the former acts as a prototype, and the latter as the fulfillment of the revelation that humanity expects.
The concepts of God and reality in the ontognoseological concept of S. L. Frank
Authors: Ян Ч.
Published: May 2024

В статье анализируются две работы С. Л. Франка — «Предмет знания» и «Реальность и человек», в которых, по словам самого философа, была концептуализирована его центральная мировоззренческая интуиция бытия как сверхрационального единства; внимание автора статьи при этом акцентируется на теме отношения между понятиями Бога и реальности. Отмечается, что разрабатываемое в онтогносеологической концепции С. Л. Франка учение о «живом знании» хотя и имеет смысловые параллели с философско-богословскими представлениями как славянофилов, так и позднейших русских метафизиков, однако вопрос о субъекте познания в нем остается непроясненным вследствие логической невыраженности связи между понятиями Бога и реальности (мира) и апелляции С. Л. Франка к сверхрациональности этой связи. Утверждается, что мыслитель в конечном итоге был вынужден отождествить эти понятия, склонившись тем самым к пантеистическому мировидению. Отстаивая понимание Бога как источника реальности (ее «инстанции») и констатируя сущностное «родство» Бога и человека, С. Л. Франк вступил в явное и открытое противоречие с христианской догматикой.

The article analyzes two works by S. L. Frank — “The Subject of Knowledge” and “Reality and Man”. In them, according to the philosopher himself, his central ideological intuition of existence as a super-rational unity was conceptualized. The author of the article focuses on the topic of the relationship between the concepts of God and reality. It is noted that the doctrine of “living knowledge” developed in the ontognoseological concept of S. L. Frank has semantic parallels in the philosophical and theological ideas of both Slavophiles and later Russian metaphysicians. However, the question of the subject of knowledge in it remains unclear due to the logical lack of expression of the connection between the concepts of God and reality (the world), as well as S. L. Frank’s appeal to the super-rationality of this connection. It is argued that the thinker was ultimately forced to identify these concepts, thereby leaning towards a pantheistic worldview. Defending the understanding of God as the source of reality (its “instance”) and stating the essential “kinship” of God and man, S. L. Frank entered into a clear and open contradiction with Christian dogma.
V. M. Vasnetsov’s religious creativity: genesis, spiritual and artistic influences
Authors: Скоробогачева Е.А. , Бурова М.А.
Published: May 2024

Недостаточно изученными в настоящее время остаются истоки искусства В. М. Васнецова, становление философии его творчества; те основные факторы и превалирующие векторы духовно-художественных влияний, которые определили его самосознание и развитие творчества. В их исследовании заключается цель статьи. Очевидна смысловая и художественная цельность его творчества, потому важно определить ее духовные доминанты. Опираясь на исследование его произведений и на изучение биографических сведений, на основе архивных материалов, ряд которых впервые вводится в научный оборот, выявляем понятие «верующий разум» как ключевое в становление художника. Значение данного понятия анализируется при обращении к происхождению их рода, этимологии фамилии, малоизвестным фактам отрочества и юности В. М. Васнецова, а также его братьев — представителей сфер православной культуры и науки. Впервые сделан вывод, что именно религиозно-философское содержание понятия «верующий разум» позволило Васнецову достигнуть емкости интерпретаций извечных смыслов в его многогранном искусстве, неизменно развивающемся в русле православия.

The origins of V. M. Vasnetsov’s art, the formation of his creative philosophy, the main factors and prevailing vectors of spiritual and artistic influences that determined his self-consciousness and the development of creativity remain insufficiently studied at the present time. Their research is the purpose of the article. The semantic and artistic integrity of his work is obvious, therefore it is important to determine its spiritual dominants. Relying on the study of biographical information based on archival materials, a number of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, on the study of his works, we identify the concept of “believing mind” as the key to the formation of the artist. The meaning of this concept is analyzed when referring to the origin of their family, the etymology of the surname, the little-known facts of the adolescence and youth of V. M. Vasnetsov, as well as his brothers — representatives of the spheres of Orthodox culture and science. For the first time, it is concluded that it was the religious and philosophical content of the concept of “believing mind” that allowed Vasnetsov to achieve the capacity of interpretations of eternal meanings in his multifaceted art, constantly developing in the mainstream of Orthodoxy.

Естественная теология получила новый импульс для своего развития в конце XX — начале XXI вв. благодаря открытиям, сделанным в области наших знаний о структуре и эволюции Вселенной. В эпоху религиозного плюрализма христианская апологетика нуждается не только в аргументах в пользу существования Бога, но также в рациональном оправдании основных вероучительных положений христианства, таких как учения о Боговоплощении и воскресении Иисуса Христа. Именно поэтому многие современные апологеты христианства используют строгий формальный язык теории вероятностей, опирающийся на теорему Байеса. В данной статье представлен анализ основных линий аргументации так называемой «ветвящейся естественной теологии» Р. Холдера в пользу истинности ключевых доктрин христианства.

Nowadays natural theology received new impetus for its development due to discoveries made in the field of structure and evolution of the universe. In an era of religious pluralism, Christian apologetics needs not only arguments in favor of God’s existence, but also a rational justification of the main Christian doctrines, such as the incarnation and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is why many Christian apologists use the strict formal language of probability theory, based on Bayes’ theorem. The paper presents an analysis of the main lines of R. Holder’s arguments of so-called “ramified natural theology” to support key doctrines of Christianity.

Published: May 2024

Crowdfunding and other forms of digitalized philanthropy have created new channels of communication between donors and fundraisers. Nevertheless, new issues about privacy and security have arisen due to these advancements. Donors may lose trust in conventional techniques due to a lack of transparency on the allocation of their funds, increasing the risk of potential misuse or exploitation. This study suggests a new use of blockchain technology as a viable solution for difficulties in the crowdfunding and charity sectors. By leveraging the inherent immutability, security, and openness of blockchain technology, all transactions and fund allocations are documented on a public ledger accessible to all stakeholders. As a result, our system will operate smoothly. This solution offers real-time donation tracking from the moment of contribution to final expenditure and automates payment distribution using smart contracts. This is done to ensure that contributions are used appropriately. The initiative includes a feedback mechanism for recipients to report on the impact of contributions, setting it apart from other similar schemes. This terminates the relationship between the donors and the beneficiaries. The prototype showcases how blockchain technology may enhance trust and transparency, namely in the realms of crowdfunding and charitable donations. Blockchain-based solutions have the ability to greatly improve the efficiency of fund distribution and the transparency of financial transactions, based on user input and trial results. This can motivate more people to participate in acts of generosity and charity initiatives.
A Study of Modal Salient Beliefs in The Behavior of Using Dialect Stickers
Authors: Zhang Lu , Ismail@Kamal Julina
Published: May 2024

This study aims to explore the behavioral intrinsic factors of post-95 youth (Generation Z) in using dialect stickers on social platforms. The qualitative research method of semi-structured interviews based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) summarizes the modal salient beliefs of the behavior of using dialect stickers and analyzes the main motivations of users' behavior of using dialect stickers. The findings suggest that post-95 youth (Generation Z) have a positive attitude toward dialect sticker use, driven mainly by the factors of pleasantness and bringing people closer together. Although the advantages of dialect stickers were generally recognized as outweighing the disadvantages, cross-dialect communication barriers remained a major factor in generating negative emotions. Older generations are less receptive to dialect stickers, while the attitudes and behaviors of fellow villagers as well as friends have a significant impact on the use of dialect stickers. The study concluded that the behavioral influences on dialect sticker use need to be further measured and assessed, and the present study provides information on the beliefs of the measurement questionnaire, which provides a valuable reference for dialect sticker design.

Purpose: Despite being a self-limiting allergy disorder, vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) can potentially cause severe problems, including blindness, if not properly treated. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the effect of VKC on the visual acuity of patients.
Materials and Methods: We conducted this prospective descriptive study between January 1, 2023, and April 20, 2024.So, all children with spring catarrh symptoms and signs were examined at Dr. Khalil's ophthalmology center (240 patients), including the cornea, bulbar, and palpebral conjunctiva, visual acuity was measured, visual impairment was classified by WHO, and structured questionnaires were completed. The study excludes children under the age of four years and those over the age of eighteen years.
Findings:  A total of 240 patients participated in this assessment, with an average age of 10 years. The male to female ratio for the age of disease beginning was 2.10:100. The mean age of onset was 5 years. The occurrence of this phenomenon is more prevalent in the younger age group compared to the older age group, with a ratio of 1.40 to 1.00. We have observed that a condition recurs in 85% of patients. The illness affects both eyes in 97% of the individuals. Regarding visual acuity, the majority of patients exhibit normal or reduced visual acuity, accounting for 81.6%, while the remaining 15% experience substantial visual impairment. 2.1% of patients were found to have severe visual impairment, while 1.3% were diagnosed 
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: VKC, is a prevalent disease in Sudan. It often affects both eyes and is more common in males than females. VKC tends to occur at a young age and often recurs in patients. Additionally, it can lead to severe consequences that result in a decline in visual acuity in over 18% of patients. Children with VKD should undergo continuous screening for their visual acuity.

Authors: Niyonkuru Emery , NDAYISHIMIYE Baneste
Published: May 2024

Hip fractures in elderly patients present significant challenges in pain management and postoperative recovery. Conventional opioid-based analgesia, while commonly used, has limitations such as adverse effects and delayed rehabilitation. In response, a collaborative care approach involving multidisciplinary teams and multimodal analgesia with nerve blocks has been proposed to enhance recovery outcomes in this vulnerable population. This narrative review aimed to investigate the effects of collaborative care and multimodal analgesia with nerve blocks in improving postoperative outcomes for elderly patients with hip fractures. We conducted thorough research using multiple databases from 2000 to February 2024, such as PubMed, Ovid Medline, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science. We summarized the findings from 97 papers, which included clinical trials, review articles, observational studies, case reports, and meta-analyses that specifically addressed elderly patients with hip fractures. The review highlighted the effects of collaborative care and multimodal analgesia with nerve blocks in elderly patients with hip fractures. Collaborative care involving multidisciplinary teams and nerve blocks showed promise in reducing opioid requirements, enhancing pain control, expediting recovery, potentially lowering mortality rates, and decreasing postoperative complications. Conclusion: The integration of collaborative care and multimodal analgesia with nerve blocks holds substantial promise in optimizing recovery outcomes for elderly patients with hip fractures. Further research is warranted to refine these strategies and explore their long-term benefits for patient well-being.

The role of residential land price in regulating local economic development and optimizing urban land spatial layout is becoming more and more prominent. This paper takes the residential land price of 229 counties (districts, cities) of urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in 2017 as the research object, and establishes a theoretical model of the influencing factors of county residential land price based on equilibrium price and regional economic theory; and uses methods of spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial lag model to explore the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of residential land price in the research area and the influencing factors. The research results indicate that: (1) There are significant overall differences in residential land price among different counties within the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the overall distribution of residential land price shows a "pyramid" pattern from low to high. (2) The spatial distribution pattern of residential land price in counties within urban agglomerations is greatly influenced by the location conditions and the administrative level of higher-level cities. The residential land price shows an inverted "U" distribution in the east-west direction, with the eastern part being higher than the western part as a whole; There is a gradual downward trend from north to south in the north-south direction. (3) The Global Moran’s I of residential land prices in the research area is 0. 603, with a significant spatial positive correlation and agglomeration phenomenon. and the obvious local spatial agglomeration characteristics. (4) There is a significant positive spillover effect between county-level residential land price in the urban agglomeration of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The residential land price in the study area is strongly influenced by both land supply and demand factors, policy systems, and government regulatory capabilities. The relevant conclusions can provide reference for urban agglomeration to optimize urban resource allocation through land price regulation, narrow regional development gaps, and promote the integrated development of the region.

Importance: Occupational therapy practitioners use standardized assessments to guide their clinical decision-making, but it is unclear how well performance on standardized assessments translates to performance at home.

Objective: To understand the concurrent and predictive validity of patient-reported outcomes and performance-based assessments for monitoring performance at home within the context of medication management and adherence.

Design: Exploratory study.

Setting: Participants completed standardized assessments in a lab or at home, which were followed by home-based electronic monitoring of medication adherence.

Participants: Sixty community-dwelling adults with hypertension or stroke who independently took antihypertensive medications.

Outcomes and Measures: Participants completed the Hill-Bone Medication Adherence Scale, the Hill-Bone Medication Adherence Reasons Scale, the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills Medication Management subtask, and the Executive Function Performance Test–Enhanced Medication Management subtest. Then, they used an electronic pill cap to monitor medication adherence at home for 1 month.

Results: Patient-reported outcomes and performance-based assessments in the context of medication management and adherence demonstrated poor concurrent and predictive validity to medication adherence at home.

Conclusions and Relevance: There is a gap between what people think they will do, what they can do on a standardized assessment, and what they actually do at home. Future research is needed to strengthen concurrent and predictive validity to clinically meaningful outcomes.

Plain-Language Summary: Occupational therapy practitioners should use caution when using standardized assessments to try to predict client performance at home. They should also continue to use a battery of assessments, clinical reasoning, and client preferences to guide their decision-making for monitoring performance at home within the context of medication management and adherence.

Due to the potential detrimental effects of static stretching exercises on subsequent muscle power performance, athletes and trainers have started to replace static stretching with dynamic stretching exercises in their training routines. However, there are no well-accepted guidelines regarding dynamic stretching variables, including tempo/velocity, volume (reps and sets), etc. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of slow, moderate, and fast tempo dynamic stretching exercises on jump height, relative power, the reactive strength index, and leg stiffness in well-trained male wrestlers. Seventeen wrestlers (aged 20.00 ± 4.06 years, wrestling experience 6.00 ± 3.09 years, and training volume per week 10.00 ± 5.69 hours) took part in the experiment under four conditions (control session, slow tempo dynamic stretching, moderate tempo dynamic stretching, and fast tempo dynamic stretching) on separate days with a 72-h interval in between, following a randomized, crossover study design. The control session consisted of a 10-min jog on a motor-driven treadmill at 6 km/h and a 0% slope. Dynamic stretching sessions consisted of seven dynamic stretching exercises performed at 50 bpm, 100 bpm, and 120 bpm, following a 5-min warm-up on a treadmill at 6 km/h and a 0% slope. After each condition, wrestlers performed a 2 x 30-s repeated vertical jump test with 5-min rest intervals in between. The best results for jump height, relative power, the reactive strength index, and leg stiffness were registered for statistical analysis. One-way repeated ANOVA results demonstrated that there were no significant differences in pairwise comparisons of all variables obtained after the four different conditions (p > 0.05). Overall, none of the slow, moderate, and fast tempo dynamic stretching exercises led to a change in repeated jump performance of well-trained male athletes. Further studies are needed to clarify the acute effects of different tempo dynamic stretching on muscular performance in well-trained wrestlers.

Slow breathing (SB) reduces sympathetic nervous system activity, the heart rate (HR), and blood pressure (BP) and increases parasympathetic nervous system activity, HR variability, and oxygen saturation which may lead to quicker recovery between bouts of exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether a SB technique using the 4-7-8 method between sets of barbell back squats (SQs) would attenuate drops in power and bar velocity. In a randomized, crossover design, 18 healthy resistance-trained college-aged males (age: 20.7 ± 1.4 years, body height: 178.6 ± 6.4 cm, body mass: 82.2 ± 15.0 kg, 4.5 ± 2.4 years of experience) performed 5 sets of 3 repetitions of SQs with normal breathing (CON) or SB during the 3-min recovery between sets. Peak and average power and bar velocity were assessed using a linear positioning transducer. HR recovery (RHR), systolic BP recovery (RBP), the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and the rating of perceived recovery score (RS) were assessed after each set. There were no significant differences between conditions for peak and average power and bar velocity, RBP, RPE, and RS (p > 0.211). SB led to a greater RHR after set 2 (SB: 51.0 ± 14.9 bpm vs. CON: 44.5 ± 11.5 bpm, p = 0.025) and 3 (SB: 48.3 ± 13.5 bpm vs. CON: 37.7 ± 11.7 bpm, p = 0.006) compared to the CON condition. SB was well tolerated, did not hinder nor improve training performance and improved RHR after the middle sets of SQs. Further investigations are warranted to examine the effects of other SB techniques and to determine SB’s effects on different training stimuli as well as its effects over an entire workout and post-workout recovery metrics.

Some trees, especially browse plants are cherished by cattle, sheep and goats in the tropics. However, the browse plants have their peculiar characteristics and nutrients in them. Therefore this study was conducted to evaluate nutritive value, chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of Morinda lucida, Moringa oleifera, Ficus exasperata, Pentaclethra hirsute.s macrophylla and Palisota Samples were investigated for proximate composition, in vitro gas production characteristics, estimated organic matter digestibility (OMD%), metabolizable energy (ME, MJ/kgDM) and short chain fatty acid (SCFA, mol). Results showed that there were significant differences in proximate composition with crude protein (CP) ranging from 17.87 in Palisota hirsute to 27.20% in Moringa oleifera. The content of the neutral detergent fibre (NDF) differed significantly (P<0.05) with values ranging from 53.39 in Pentaclethra macrophylla to 60.39% in Morinda lucida. The estimated SCFA, OMD and ME were significantly (P<0.05) higher in Pentaclethra macrophylla (0.37 mol, 30.88 % and 4.65 MJ/kgDM) respectively. In conclusion, the selected plants evaluated in this study had high crude protein contents which would make them good protein supplement to poor quality feeds especially during feed scarcity without adverse effect.
 
 
 
 
Certains arbres, en particulier les plantes broutées, sont appréciés par les bovins, les moutons et les chèvres sous les tropiques. Cependant, les plantes broutantes ont en elles leurs caractéristiques et leurs nutriments particuliers. Par conséquent, cette étude a été menée pour évaluer la valeur nutritive, la composition chimique et la digestibilité in vitro de Morinda lucida, Moringa oleifera, Ficus exasperata, Pentaclethra macrophylla et Palisota hirsute. Les échantillons ont été étudiés pour la composition immédiate, les caractéristiques de production de gaz in vitro, la digestibilité estimée de la matière organique. (DMO%), énergie métabolisable (EM, MJ/kgDM) et acide gras à chaîne courte (AGCC, mol). Les résultats ont montré qu'il existait des différences significatives dans la composition immédiate des protéines brutes (PB) allant de 17,87 chez Palisota hirsute à 27,20 % chez Moringa oleifera. La teneur en fibres détergentes neutres (FDN) différait significativement (P < 0,05) avec des valeurs allant de 53,39 chez Pentaclethra macrophylla à 60,39 % chez Morinda lucida. Les AGCC, DMO et EM estimés étaient significativement (P <0,05) plusélevés chez Pentaclethra macrophylla (0,37 mol, 30,88 % et 4,65 MJ/kgDM) respectivement. En conclusion, les plantes sélectionnées évaluées dans cette étude avaient des teneurs élevées en protéines brutes, ce qui en ferait un bon complément protéique aux aliments de mauvaise qualité, en particulier en cas de pénurie alimentaire, sans effet indésirable.
