Cone-shaped objects, rolled from sheets of iron and bronze are found in the Golden Horde burials of the late 13th – late 14th centuries. Cones are a rare but one of the most reliable indicators of Mongolian burials. In a number of cases, there are additional signs pointing to Buddhist cults in burials with cones. Often they are located in extraordinary complexes with numerous equipment or with an unusual ritual. The burials studied in this article are extraordinary with bronze cones: Adryk, mound 9, burial 1, Guva-II, mound 4, burial 2, mound 5, mound 7. They have Mongolian features such as a northern or northeastern orientation, sheep bones, and cones. There is a leg bone of a sheep placed vertically, which is a specificity of Mongolian burials. In the burial in kurgan 1 of Bolshoy Tsaryn-1, 1/1, a woman with a southern orientation was buried, who had a child’s jaw in her mouth. A silk Mamluk tirade with an embroidered text in Arabic was placed around the skull of the buried in mound 2 in Bolshoy Tsaryn-1, 2/1. The work uses ethnographic and written sources that contribute to the understanding of extraordinary burials with cones.
Ставропольские калмыки в шведском походе и на западной границе России в 1790–1792 гг.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. In 1790–1792, Stavropol Kalmyk Host participated in the Russo-Swedish War and patrolled the Belarusian border. The reasons behind the long deployment remain somewhat debatable. Materials and methods. The article focuses on archival documents and published sources. The historical-genetic method proves most instrumental herein, while it is the reconstruction method that yields extended analytical insights into epistolary sources. Results. The Russo-Swedish War of 1788–1790 was attended by three Bashkir regiments, crews of Orenburg Cossacks and Stavropol Kalmyks. The irregular units were to reinforce Russian troops since the army was engaged in the Russo-Turkish War. Furthermore, the former’s involvement was meant to intimidate the enemy. A supporter the Swedish king, Prussia was actively spreading the myth Russia be a country inhabited by ‘barbarians’. The imaginary ‘Kalmyk-Tatar’ threat was declared in Sweden. Since 1789, two Bashkir regiments had been engaged in combat operations. In 1790, Orenburg Cossacks and Stavropol Kalmyks were summoned to reinforce the troops: together they formed a detachment that took part in repelling a Swedish landing operation. The Bashkirs dispatched ‘to horrify’ the enemy units proved brave warriors, and either did reinforcing Stavropol Kalmyks and Orenburg Cossacks which was noted by commanding officers. In 1790, armed hostilities with Prussia and Poland were expected. The newly formed Dvina Army that included two Bashkir and one Mishar regiments, crews of Orenburg Cossacks and Stavropol Kalmyks was to defend the Baltics and Belarus. The sight of ethnic cavalry groups on the border gave rise to rumors about Asian peoples — horse meat eaters and potentially even cannibals. The presence of Bashkirs, Mishars and Kalmyks along the borderline did have certain positive impacts. In July 1792, Russian troops invaded Poland via Volhynia and occupied Warsaw. In September, the Kalmyks, Bashkirs, Mishars and Cossacks were dispatched home. Conclusions. The participation of Stavropol Kalmyks in the Russo-Swedish War and their border service in 1790–1792 was the second successful campaign against European armies. The long expedition of Bashkirs and Mishars, Orenburg Cossacks and Stavropol Kalmyks was the first mass relocation of irregular troops from Orenburg Krai to join Russian field forces. This experience was repeated in the Napoleonic Wars. In 1790–1792, Stavropol Kalmyks — fighting the Swedes and patrolling the border — were simultaneously performing an important task of demonstrating the unity of Imperial Russia’s peoples under Empress Catherine II to Europe.

Introduction. The paper examines osteometric data from Middle Bronze Age Catacomb burials across the Sarpa Lowland to characterize some skeletal features and identify if there is any homogeneity degree between male and female samples. Material and methods. The sampling comprises 33 adult individuals, including 22 males and 11 females. The postcranial measurement methodology follows the program of R. Martin edited by V. P. Alekseev and employs the rubrics of osteological features proposed by Y. Y. Roginsky, M. G. Levin, V. V. Bunak and A. G. Tikhonov. Analyses of longitudinal dimensions and reconstructed body lengths involve D. V. Pezhemsky’s rubrics. Statistical processing of numerical data implemented using the Excel program of the standard Microsoft Office package. Results. The investigated samples show medium-massive upper limbs and elongated lower ones. Osteological arm lengths in males and females cluster with the category of mean values — 585.1 mm and 534.1 mm, respectively. Osteological leg lengths also have mean values — 831 mm in males and 757.4 mm in females. The average reconstructed male body length is 170.8 cm, while the female one is 157.9 cm. The observed signs of well-developed skeletal muscles attest to essential physical exertions during labor activities. In general, the obtained results indicate some heterogeneity of postcranial samples in the Middle Bronze Age Catacomb culture population of the Sarpa Lowland.
Курсовые работы студентов Казанской духовной академии как источник изучения буддизма (по материалам Государственного архива Республики Татарстан). Часть 1

Published: December 2024

Introduction. The article examines some activities of Russia’s leading spiritual institution — Kazan Theological Academy — which was training missionaries throughout the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth centuries. Goals. The article seeks to characterize research endeavors of the Academy’s students in the field of Buddhism. Our review and analysis of term papers attest to Russian spiritual institutions adopted elements of classical comparative theology — including denunciation of other doctrines, description of Christianity’s superiority over other faiths — and taught would-be missionaries certain methods of converting non-Russians to Christianity. Materials. The study focuses on archival documents contained in Catalogue 2 of Collection 10 (‘Kazan Theological Academy’) at the State Archive of Tatarstan, and is first to introduce the latter into scientific circulation. Results. A total of 62 documents happen to deal with the topic under study within Catalogue 2. Term papers authored by students of Kazan Theological Academy indicate their appeals to the theme of Buddhism were fuelled by practical concerns. Materials covering various aspects of Buddhism and translations of Buddhist religious texts proper are of undoubted interest. Conclusions. In the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, a distinguished school of comparative theology took shape in K azan. The students would turn to theoretical and methodological foundations of new trends in religious studies (European religious teachings and comparative theology), meticulously investigate historical documents and primary sources, undertake prominent efforts of translating Buddhist religious texts to conduct comprehensive research that has no analogues in theological science. Competent argumentation, convincing logic of presentation, critical insights into both Christianity and the alien (to them) Buddhist doctrine were characteristic of those works. The subject of research would be explicitly comprehended and carefully explored by the authors. Many such studies in comparative theology actually aimed at denying Buddhism the status of religion, which is evidenced by their titles. The Revolution and subsequent closing of Kazan Theological Academy interrupted the scholarly traditions of an oldest spiritual institution but its legacy in the form of students’ term papers is still of utmost interest and needs further study.
“Questions without answer”: clarividencia e identidad en crisis en la obra de Sylvia Plath
Authors: Hurtado Viramontes Pablo
Published: December 2024

En el estudio de la obra de Sylvia Plath, el contacto de la autora con las prácticas esotéricas y mágicas se ha interpretado como un mero dato biográfico; sus implicaciones en las características formales y temáticas de su corpus se han ignorado y en su lugar, se ha utilizado dicho tema para continuar la mitificación de Plath como figura autorial controversial. El presente texto ofrece una mirada crítica sobre el abordaje temático y formal que realiza Plath a tres prácticas de clarividencia: el tarot, la ouija y la necromancia. Se ofrece al lector un recorrido por los textos poéticos, epistolares y personales de la autora que hacen alusión a dichos temas y se explora la conexión que se establece en ellos entre la clarividencia y la exploración de identidades en crisis. Igualmente, se mapea el proceso de trabajo de la autora con dichos conceptos, prácticas y herramientas, con el propósito de esclarecer el curso de su influencia en los textos que se estudian. En términos teóricos, se moviliza el concepto de dramatic monologue poem propuesto por Susan Bassnett para entablar una exploración de los textos en cuestión más allá de una lectura biográfica-confesional. Se busca, igualmente, implementar una mirada unificada de la obra de Plath al considerar los variados géneros y soportes disponibles en su corpus literario.

Arenas of Charisma: Cult to Abūnā Bshara Abou Mourad and Construction of the Greek Catholic Community in the Lebanese Sectarian Landscape
Authors: Cruz Rodrigo Ayupe Bueno da
Published: December 2024

This article examines the cult surrounding Bshara Abou Mourad, a Greek Catholic priest undergoing the canonization process at the Catholic Church. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Lebanon between 2016 and 2023, the study focuses on key locations associated with the cult, specifically within the municipalities of Joun, Zahle, and Dayr al Qamar. These areas hold significant importance due to their direct ties to Abou Mourad's charismatic life story and their role as centers for the propagation of his cult and devotional practices by both clergy and laity. Defined as "arenas of charisma," these locations are pivotal in shaping the Greek Catholic community and its political and religious competitiveness within Lebanon's multi-confessional sectarian landscape.
Apresentação: Carisma: poder, autoridade e devoção no Oriente Médio e Norte da África
Authors: Chagas Gisele Fonseca , Dumovich Liza
Published: December 2024

Desde a publicação do trabalho fundante de Max Weber sobre a conceitualização do carisma, o conceito tem sido objeto de uma vasta gama de interpretações, muitas vezes marcadas por contradições. Reconhecendo a natureza fragmentária do modelo teórico proposto por Weber, este dossiê examina o conceito de carisma a partir de uma perspetiva antropológica e visa explorar as diversas formas e manifestações através das quais o carisma é criado e legitimado. Etnografias realizadas em contextos religiosos no Oriente Médio e Norte de África lançaram luz sobre as várias configurações de comunidades, movimentos e relações carismáticas que produzem múltiplas formas de expressão emocional e de experiência religiosa. Com o objetivo de contribuir para o debate antropológico sobre a aplicabilidade do conceito de Weber a diferentes formas de carisma, este dossiê apresenta cinco relatos etnográficos a partir de trabalhos de campo na Turquia, Marrocos, Líbano e Iraque. Estes estudos exploram os processos pelos quais carisma é construído, mantido e transmitido em diferentes contextos religiosos, políticos e institucionais. Ao integrar a teoria weberiana com perspectivas etnográficas, este dossiê procura avançar a nossa compreensão do carisma como um fenômeno dinâmico, relacional e culturalmente enraizado. As contribuições que seguem aprofundam a nossa compreensão das diversas formas de engajamento religioso e político, de pertencimento e de ligação emocional a um líder religioso, comunidade ou movimento, promovendo um diálogo produtivo entre diferentes perspectivas analíticas e contextos etnográficos.
Dostoevsky’s Draft Plan “Envy”: How Did Demons Begin? (Dostoevsky, Arthur Benni and Nechaev Court Case)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskiy Dom) RAS, Tarasova Natalia A.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to issues of the creative history of the novel Demons at the initial stage of the conception. The initial stage of work is considered to be the notes of the plan “Envy”, which include some motifs reflected in the novel. These rough sketches are analyzed in textual and thematic aspects, from the point of view of their correlation with subsequent notes in the materials for Demons and with the final text. The first part of the article raises the question of decrypting the cryptonym “A. Б.”, which is contained in the plan “Envy”, the second part of the work examines the story of journalist and translator Arthur Benni, who came to Russia from abroad in order to participate in the revolutionary movement. The details of his stay in Russia in the 1860s were described by Leskov, first in the novel No Way Out (1864), then in the essay The Mysterious Man (1870, book edition 1871), published at the time when Dostoevsky began work on Demons. When comparing these sources with drafts and the final text of Demons, a commonality of characteristics and motives is established, which makes it possible to explain how Dostoevsky could have predicted the nature of the activities of “nashy” even before familiarizing himself with the materials of the Nechaev court case. The text of the article includes four letters from Benny to Dostoevsky (1864–1865).
Osamu Tezuki’s Manga Crime and Punishment: Patterns and Paradoxes of Intermediality
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kryukova Olga S. , Rarenko Maria B. ,   Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences (INION), Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2024

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the manga by the classic of Japanese anime Osamu Tezuka, Crime and Punishment, based on the eponymous novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is no coincidence that Dostoevsky’s novel served as the “material” for the creation of manga, since the problems considered in it, primarily moral, are of a universal nature and remain relevant today. The period of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is marked by tremendous changes in nearly all spheres of human existence and this fact has inevitably influenced human consciousness and its attitude toward the ways of cognition. The tendency to “consume” that emerged at the end of the 20th century gave rise to a special type of information acquisition, known as “infotainment” (from the English “information” and “entertainment”), which has become one of the characteristics of modern mass culture. This technique, being hybrid in nature, uses stylistic resources of various discourses. The article shows that, having gone beyond the national framework, manga ceases to be confined to the exclusively Japanese book publishing industry. The analyzed manga was published in Japanese in 1953, becoming a clear example of a “secondary text” (according to A.I. Novikov’s terminology), the purpose of which is to popularize Dostoevsky’s work among Japanese youth. Tezuka, demonstrating a deep knowledge of Russian culture, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s and Lev Tolstoy’s works, uses Disney animation techniques when creating manga, as becomes evident when analyzing the actual visual techniques of creating the image of Raskolnikov. Osamu Tezuka’s Crime and Punishment was translated into Russian in 2012 and has not yet been the subject of special research as an example of intersemiotic translation.
Variants for the Continuation of the Novel Crime and Punishment in Russian-Language Fanfiction
Authors:   Crimean Federal V.I. Vernadsky University, Kapustina Svetlana V.
Published: December 2024

The study examines Russian-language fanfiction that explores potential continuations of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment. Within the thematic corpus of fanfiction, the analysis distinguishes between local perspectives — secondary texts that develop specific elements of the primary text — and post-canons, fan-created narratives centered around the novel’s epilogue. A noticeable imbalance is observed, as post-canonical essays are rarely produced, reflecting the infrequent re-reading of Crime and Punishment by contemporary students. Instead, fanfiction often focuses on local perspectives, sometimes limited to onomastic parallels, which stems from a broader trend of non-(re)reading of Dostoevsky’s work. The article highlights that fanfiction authors frequently engage with provocative themes, particularly in the genre of “missing scenes.” In cases where these scenes correspond to a “curtain scene,” fanfiction writers often adopt a cynical approach to the characters of Crime and Punishment. When such direct comparisons are not feasible, opportunities arise for young “book enthusiasts” — those capable of engaging with classical texts without succumbing to the distortions of “clip thinking.” The study argues for incorporating the writing of post-canonical essays based on Dostoevsky’s novel into the creative assignments for tenth-grade students. This practice is justified by its potential to increase students’ motivation to read, foster their engagement in a creative dialogue with the original work, and encourage a more thoughtful and responsible approach to literature and language.
Doprinos Lazarusa Secretariusa razvoju predmoderne kartografije donjeg međurječja Drave, Save i Dunava: primjer toponimije

Published: December 2024

U članku se preispituju uloga i utjecaji kartografa srednjoeuropskog kartografskog kruga 16. stoljeća na širenje geografskih spoznaja o prostoru donjega međurječja Drave, Save i Dunava na primjeru rada ugarskoga kartografa Lazarusa Secretariusa. Uspoređujući njegovu kartu Ugarske iz 1528. godine s kartografskim radovima njegovih direktnih prethodnika, kao i sljedbenika, autorice nastoje identificirati modalitete prikazivanja Slavonije i Srijema toga vremena, s posebnim fokusom na kartografsku toponimiju. Istražuje se doprinos Lazarusove karte boljem geo-kartografskom poznavanju međurječja, u prvom redu poznavanju predosmanskih naselja. Komparacijom s drugim kartama i diplomatičkim izvorima propituje se kapacitete te mogućnosti za ranonovovjekovni transfer ideja i kartografskih informacija na srednjoeuropskom prostoru, kao i važnost terenskoga rada u nastanku kvalitetnijih i točnijih kartografskih radova kao povijesnih svjedočanstava o nekom prostoru.
Mađarske škole u Osijeku u vrijeme Austro-Ugarske
Authors: Njari Denis
Published: December 2024

Rad obuhvaća razdoblje djelovanja prve osnovne i srednje škole na mađarskom nastavnom jeziku, koja je osnovana u Osijeku krajem 19. stoljeća posredstvom Mađarskih kraljevskih državnih željeznica. Temelji se na mađarskoj i hrvatskoj arhivskoj građi te na komparaciji onodobnoga mađarskoga i hrvatskoga tiska koji je izvještavao o navedenoj školi i događajima povezanima s njom. Ukazuje se na ulogu i značaj škole u promicanju mađarskoga jezika i kulture ne samo za Mađare Osijeka, nego i okolice. Kako je škola djelovala u vrijeme turbulentnih mađarsko-hrvatskih odnosa, analizira se i kakve je političke i društvene utjecaje škola imala i na hrvatsko stanovništvo. Rad nastoji doprinijeti razumijevanju povijesnoga i kulturnog konteksta mađarske manjine u Osijeku te rasvijetliti kompleksne zahtjeve koji su stavljeni pred školu – ispuniti ulogu bivanja stožernom mađarskom nacionalnom institucijom u Osijeku, a s druge strane djelovati tako da se hrvatsko stanovništvo u Osijeku ne osjeća ugroženim njezinim djelovanjem.
42. granični bataljun JNA i srpski pobunjenici u općini Podravska Slatina do rujna 1991.
Authors: Sekula Janja , Štefančić Domagoj
Published: December 2024

U radu je na primjeru podravskoslatinske općine prikazano kako je na jednoj lokalnoj razini u praksi funkcionirala suradnja pobunjenih Srba i snaga JNA, najprije u razdoblju srpske pobune, a zatim i otvorenoga rata. Rad prikazuje niz konkretnih primjera i ukazuje na kompleksnost navedenih odnosa, koji su u pojedinim momentima ovisili i o samim oficirima JNA, odnosno njihovoj manjoj ili većoj angažiranosti na velikosrpskim planovima. Međutim, u konačnici je prevladao zajednički cilj, koji je i u planovima JNA u međuvremenu evoluirao od „borbe za očuvanje Jugoslavije“ do „borbe za proširenu Srbiju“. Postrojbe 42. graničnog bataljuna iz Virovitice podržale su srpsku pobunu, a potom i agresiju, koja je na ovom području eskalirala početkom kolovoza 1991. godine. U konačnici, unatoč potpori JNA, pobunjeni slatinski Srbi nisu uspjeli ovladati prometnicom od strateškog značaja za Republiku Hrvatsku – Podravskom magistralom, već su lokalne hrvatske snage ovladale tamošnjim vojnim objektima, što je uvelike promijenilo odnos snaga na sjeveroistočnom dijelu zapadnoslavonskog bojišta.

FISCAL RESPONSE IN COVID-19 CRISIS – CASE OF THE EUROZONE
Authors: Karamanoli Maria
Published: December 2024

Aim: The paper makes two important contributions to the fiscal policy literature during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the way Eurozone countries responded with fiscal expansion or restriction as a means to manage the pandemic crisis. This research investigates the national governments’ fiscal policies introduced to manage the COVID-19 pandemic within economic, political and institutional contexts, focusing on European countries that are part of the Eurozone. It demonstrates similarities and heterogeneity in three dimensions of fiscal policy responses to COVID-19 (the size of fiscal spending, the type and targets of fiscal policy responses) across 19 Eurozone countries, in the period effective from the pandemic until January 2022. Methods: A Cross-Country Analysis and Statistical Analysis in 19 Eurozone Countries was applied. Results: Eurozone countries with strong economies (Germany, France) implemented fiscal expansion directly to cope with the pandemic while weaker economies (Estonia, Spain) responded late. Additionally, the business sector was supported first, instead of the health sector, by governments. Conclusions: The paper makes two important contributions to the fiscal policy literature during the COVID-19 pandemic. The original contribution of this research is that it is one of the first comparative analysis studies to focus on the European region regarding national fiscal policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies on COVID-19 policy responses have primarily focused on public health measures.

Published: December 2024

In the era of biological treatments and small molecules, this study assessed therapeutic patient education (TPE) in managing adult atopic dermatitis (AD), focusing on disease severity, quality of life, and the use of systemic treatments. This multicentre study included 260 adult AD patients, with 184 undergoing a full TPE programme and 76 control patients. Evaluations included disease severity, quality of life (DLQI), and systemic treatment use. The primary goal was to measure AD improvement, with secondary goals assessing DLQI score changes and systemic treatment use. AD severity improved in 64.7% of TPE patients vs 45.7% of controls (p = 0.008). The mean DLQI score dropped by 5.7 points in the TPE group vs 2.4 points in controls (p = 0.006). Additionally, 69.8% of TPE patients had a DLQI score ≤ 4/30 compared with 50% of controls (p = 0.025). Regarding therapeutics, 83.6% of patients naive to systemic treatment at inclusion were maintained exclusively under topical treatment vs 21.7% in the control group. The likelihood of needing systemic treatment was 66% in controls vs 6% in the TPE group. TPE enhances AD severity and quality of life, ensures better disease control, and reduces systemic treatment use, highlighting its importance in managing adult AD.
Recent deformations of the Earth's crust in Ukraine based on GNSS network data from GEOTERRACE AND SYSTEM.NET
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Tretyak Kornyliy , Brusak Ivan ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Babchenko Volodymyr ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: December 2024

The paper analyzes the recent trends of horizontal and vertical displacements of Ukraine's territory based on the GeoTerrace and System.Net GNSS network data. This includes the construction of relevant movement maps and the selection of deformation zones of the upper crust. The object of research is horizontal and vertical deformations of the upper crust. The goal is to identify and analyze deformation zones in Ukraine's territory. The source data includes the horizontal and vertical displacement rates of GNSS stations from the GeoTerrace network for 2018 to 2023 and the System.Net network for 2021 to 2023. This data is complemented by known tectonic map of the territory, sourced from the National Atlas of Ukraine, along with descriptive materials. The methodology includes comparison and analysis of recent deformations of the Earth's crust in the region with its known tectonic structure. New maps of recent horizontal displacement velocities of Ukraine's upper crust have been created, along with vertical displacement velocities of GNSS stations. These studies indicate that the recent horizontal movements within Ukraine are complex and closely linked to the known tectonic structure. Additionally, these movements were compared with regional model values derived from the ITRF-2020 model. Most GNSS stations have vertical subsidence trend, likely due to denudation processes. This study outlines the recent movements of the Earth's crust, however, a detailed interpretation should incorporate additional data from specialists in the Earth sciences. When observed over extended time intervals, the measured velocities of GNSS stations will help identify the spatial distribution characteristics of Earth's crust movement across Ukraine. This, in turn, will facilitate the development of regional geodynamic models for specific tectonic structures or regions, including Ukraine as a whole. Such models hold practical significance for advancing accurate navigation through precise positioning using networks of active GNSS stations.

Wie kaum ein anderer Schriftsteller fühlte sich Paul Celan existenziell mit der deutschen Sprache verbunden. Doch wie nur wenige Dichter vor ihm integrierte er zugleich eine Vielzahl anderer Sprachen in seine literarische Praxis. Welche fundamentale Bedeutung dieses Schreiben >zwischen< den Sprachen besitzt, lässt sich aus Biographie, Werk und Poetik des deutsch-jüdischen Lyrikers ableiten. Dabei sind rund ein Dutzend Sprachen in Prozesse involviert, die sich mit den Begriffen >Sprachwechsel<, >Sprachmischung< und >Sprachreflexion< beschreiben lassen. In der vorliegenden Studie wird erstmals der Versuch unternommen, Celans Mehrsprachigkeit differenziert in ihrer gesamten Breite und Tiefe darzustellen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die translinguale Schreibpraxis des Dichters den Kristallisationspunkt seiner distanziert-kritischen, ja aporetischen Beziehung zur deutschen Muttersprache bildet. Als Trägersprache der Judenvernichtung wird die deutsche Dichtungssprache in seinem Werk multilingual >angereichert<, verfremdet und dekonstruiert. Celans Mehrsprachigkeit führt somit zu einer Poetik der >Wortöffnungen<, deren Konturen es im Einzelnen herauszuarbeiten gilt.

Tumors of the oral cavity and oropharynx occupy high positions in terms of prevalence.One of the methods of treatment is surgical, which leads to voluminous postoperativedefects. Therefore, the surgeon always faces the choice of reconstruction to restore orpreserve the functions of the oral cavity organs.The purpose of the study – to evaluate chewing and swallowing disorders and theeffectiveness of their elimination in various types of plastic surgery using chewingindicators and ultrasound examination of the swallowing act in patients with cancer ofthe oral cavity and oropharynx.
Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 38 patients with cancer of the oral cavityand oropharynx, whom various types of plastics were applied to depending on the postoperativedefect to restore the function of the oral cavity organs. Determination of chewing indicatorsand ultrasound examination of the swallowing act were used before the surgical interventionand on the 10th day after it. The effectiveness of restoring the act of swallowing at differentvolumes of postoperative loss according to ultrasound data was calculated by the formula:Method effectiveness = ( .)( ) × 100%,where N is the number of factors (indicators), i = (1.6).Statistical analysis was carried out using Excel software from Microsoft Office 2003packages, STATISTICA 5.5The results. When using the chewing test, it was found that the loss of chewingefficiency in the postoperative period by 5-20 % is characteristic of all patients,compared to the indicators before the operation. During the ultrasound examinationof the act of swallowing in B- and M-mode in patients with cancer of the oral cavityand oropharynx, a decrease in the amplitude of contraction of the muscles of thesuprahyoid group in the longitudinal projection was found in patients with cancer ofthe oral cavity and oropharynx, which was less than 35 % in In B-mode and 40 % inM-mode. There was a decrease in the indicator in the lateral projection of the anteriorbelly of the digastric muscle on the side of tumor localization during swallowing in a rangeof 17-20 %. Therefore, these indicators indicate the restoration of the act of swallowing.Conclusions. To restore the function of the oral cavity organs in case of postoperativeloss of 1/3 of their volume, it is possible to close the defect with local tissues. For defectslarger than 1/3 of the volume, it is necessary to plastic by regional or free flaps on thevascular pedicle, and for larger defects involving bones, the use of bone autograft incombination with a free arterialized graft is recommended.
Intertextuality and Islamic Literary Narratives in Kabanti Bunga Malati from Buton, Southeast Sulawesi
Authors: Faizul Mubin A. , Isra H Nurul
Published: December 2024

This study explores the intertextual relationships and Islamic narratives in Kabanti Bunga Malati, a traditional oral literary work from Buton, Southeast Sulawesi. Kabanti serves as a medium for conveying religious, moral, and social values within the Butonese community. Kabanti Bunga Malati by La Ode Muhammad Nafiu offers advice on the ideal Muslim character, including the importance of humility, self-purification, self-control, and avoiding unlawful acts. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with intertextual and hermeneutical approaches. Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality is applied to understand the relationship of Kabanti Bunga Malati with other Islamic texts, such as the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sufi literature. Friedrich Schleiermacher’s hermeneutical approach is used to analyze the Islamic messages within the text, focusing on both linguistic structure and authorial intent. The primary data comes from the Kabanti Bunga Malati manuscript, while secondary data is derived from relevant books and scholarly articles. Data collection techniques include reading, note-taking, and describing key points related to the research topic. Data analysis employs content analysis, chosen for its ability to identify themes, patterns, and relevant categories from the collected data. The findings show that Kabanti Bunga Malati plays a crucial role in conveying Islamic teachings through poetic form, religious symbolism, and strong moral messages. It has a close connection with various classical Islamic texts, including the Qur’an, Hadith, Sufi literature, and other Islamic literary works. The Islamic narrative in this text emphasizes the balance between ritual and morality in daily life and highlights the importance of self-reflection as a mirror to achieve spiritual purity. These findings are expected to contribute to the study of Islamic literature in the Nusantara and enrich the understanding of the role of local literature in preserving religious teachings and cultural values in Butonese society.
Determinants of financial reporting quality: A review of existing literature
Authors: Mos Catalin
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the existing literature for determinants of financial reporting quality. We aim to highlight certain trends
from the literature, to draw attention to some issues, and to underline possible avenues for future research. We focus on three major topics, namely: effects of IFRS adoption, institutional settings, and culture. We adopted a combination of systematic and semi-systematic approaches for our literature review. The selection of articles and the presentation of their results was carried out having in mind our
purpose, but we also follow simple and repeatable steps to enhance the objectivity of our work. Our review shows that there is still place for future contribution in this field of research. While some of the topics such as impact of IFRS adoption were extensively explored by scholars and require only improvements in methodology, other topics need future clarification and expansion of existing research. A part of the subtopics related to institutional settings and culture are still emergent and may be the subject of new research.

Authors: Tenchera Nadia
Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar desde la salud mental comunitaria las experiencias vivenciadas en el marco de las rotaciones en la Residencia en salud de Trabajo Social de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires -período octubre 2020 hasta agosto 2023-. En este escrito se articulan las experiencias prácticas con desarrollos teóricos y en consecuencia se llega a algunas consideraciones finales. En primer lugar, se observan tensiones entre la salud mental comunitaria y los dispositivos hospitalarios en las dificultades para llevar a cabo intervenciones con el afuera. Esto se diferencia de aquellos dispositivos territoriales en donde la atención en comunidad habilita abordajes en esta clave. En segundo lugar, se destaca la importancia de producir herramientas que la potencien, siendo vital la construcción de redes y flujos entre las instituciones y les actores sociales. En tercer y último lugar, se piensa a la salud mental comunitaria en permanente (re)construcción.
Teaching and Learning Digital Technologies in the Classroom: A Case Study in Two High Schools
Authors: Rodríguez Paz María Eugenia , Bartolucci Jorge
Published: December 2024

This article discusses access to and use of the Internet through personal computers and smartphones by sixteen students in two high schools located in dissimilar Mexico City settings. Information gathered by means of inter-views was enriched with data obtained from classroom observation, with the aim of examining students’ performance on exercises set by their teachers. The results show a marked contrast between a style of classroom participa-tion that helped to reinforce a typical pattern of school performance centered on the prompt completion of tasks, and another, where students were expo-sed to working styles focused more on favoring the development of their online capabilities. This contrast underscores the role students play in vali-dating teaching guidelines that tend to structure teaching and learning of access to and use of digital technologies in schools.
Waiting and Day-to-Day Living, the Social Construction of Time and Space in a Hospital Emergency Room
Authors: Sánchez Esquivel Sergio Antonio Damián
Published: December 2024

This study, centered on the emergency waiting room at the Pachuca, Hidal-go General Hospital Emergency Department, underlines the concept of me-chanical solidarity that emerges in individuals’ practices contrasted with other locations. The author uses Durkheim’s and Simmel’s theories together with Alejandro Paya’s most recent research on hospitals. The article is di-vided into three parts: the lay-out of the hospital and its sectors, emphasizing the emergency waiting room; an analysis of waiting as a sociological phe-nomenon, in which each area experiences its own temporal reality; and a reflection about how people’s presence in this space modifies social life, in-cluding relatives and the ideal Good Samaritan. In this context, the author underlines how people form mechanical solidarity.

Study
Authors: Prieto Acosta Diana Elena , Rubio Figueras Evelyn
Published: December 2024

"The objective of this research is to describe the most prominent linguistic characteristics of scientific titles written today in Cuba. We analyzed 200 scientific articles, written in Spanish by Cubans, that were recently published in Anales de la Academia de Ciencias de Cuba, a centenary and multidisciplinary journal. We obtained global data that corroborate findings described by other authors for Spanish from other regions, both in average length and in the general formal structure of the titles, without the need to discriminate between disciplines, genres, or fields. This will allow for the subsequent diachronic description of the evolution of scientific style in Cuba.Keywords: scientific articles; titling practices; synchrony; scientific style; Cuba."
