Examining Human-Smartphone Interaction as a Proxy for Circadian Rhythm in Patients With Insomnia: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Lin Chen , Chen I-Ming , Chuang Hai-Hua , Wang Zih-Wen , Lin Hsiao-Han , Lin Yu-Hsuan
Published: December 2023

Background

The sleep and circadian rhythm patterns associated with smartphone use, which are influenced by mental activities, might be closely linked to sleep quality and depressive symptoms, similar to the conventional actigraphy-based assessments of physical activity.

Objective

The primary objective of this study was to develop app-defined circadian rhythm and sleep indicators and compare them with actigraphy-derived measures. Additionally, we aimed to explore the clinical correlations of these indicators in individuals with insomnia and healthy controls.

Methods

The mobile app “Rhythm” was developed to record smartphone use time stamps and calculate circadian rhythms in 33 patients with insomnia and 33 age- and gender-matched healthy controls, totaling 2097 person-days. Simultaneously, we used standard actigraphy to quantify participants’ sleep-wake cycles. Sleep indicators included sleep onset, wake time (WT), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and the number of awakenings (NAWK). Circadian rhythm metrics quantified the relative amplitude, interdaily stability, and intradaily variability based on either smartphone use or physical activity data.

Results

Comparisons between app-defined and actigraphy-defined sleep onsets, WTs, total sleep times, and NAWK did not reveal any significant differences (all P>.05). Both app-defined and actigraphy-defined sleep indicators successfully captured clinical features of insomnia, indicating prolonged WASO, increased NAWK, and delayed sleep onset and WT in patients with insomnia compared with healthy controls. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were positively correlated with WASO and NAWK, regardless of whether they were measured by the app or actigraphy. Depressive symptom scores were positively correlated with app-defined intradaily variability (β=9.786, SD 3.756; P=.01) and negatively correlated with actigraphy-based relative amplitude (β=–21.693, SD 8.214; P=.01), indicating disrupted circadian rhythmicity in individuals with depression. However, depressive symptom scores were negatively correlated with actigraphy-based intradaily variability (β=–7.877, SD 3.110; P=.01) and not significantly correlated with app-defined relative amplitude (β=–3.859, SD 12.352; P=.76).

Conclusions

This study highlights the potential of smartphone-derived sleep and circadian rhythms as digital biomarkers, complementing standard actigraphy indicators. Although significant correlations with clinical manifestations of insomnia were observed, limitations in the evidence and the need for further research on predictive utility should be considered. Nonetheless, smartphone data hold promise for enhancing sleep monitoring and mental health assessments in digital health research.
User Perception of Smart Home Surveillance Among Adults Aged 50 Years and Older: Scoping Review
Authors: Percy Campbell Jessica , Buchan Jacob , Chu Charlene H , Bianchi Andria , Hoey Jesse , Khan Shehroz S
Published: December 2023

Background

Smart home technology (SHT) can be useful for aging in place or health-related purposes. However, surveillance studies have highlighted ethical issues with SHTs, including user privacy, security, and autonomy.

Objective

As digital technology is most often designed for younger adults, this review summarizes perceptions of SHTs among users aged 50 years and older to explore their understanding of privacy, the purpose of data collection, risks and benefits, and safety.

Methods

Through an integrative review, we explored community-dwelling adults’ (aged 50 years and older) perceptions of SHTs based on research questions under 4 nonmutually exclusive themes: privacy, the purpose of data collection, risk and benefits, and safety. We searched 1860 titles and abstracts from Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and IEEE Xplore or IET Electronic Library, resulting in 15 included studies.

Results

The 15 studies explored user perception of smart speakers, motion sensors, or home monitoring systems. A total of 13 (87%) studies discussed user privacy concerns regarding data collection and access. A total of 4 (27%) studies explored user knowledge of data collection purposes, 7 (47%) studies featured risk-related concerns such as data breaches and third-party misuse alongside benefits such as convenience, and 9 (60%) studies reported user enthusiasm about the potential for home safety.

Conclusions

Due to the growing size of aging populations and advances in technological capabilities, regulators and designers should focus on user concerns by supporting higher levels of agency regarding data collection, use, and disclosure and by bolstering organizational accountability. This way, relevant privacy regulation and SHT design can better support user safety while diminishing potential risks to privacy, security, autonomy, or discriminatory outcomes.

Music ensembles are one of the methods most often used in music education in schools. This research aims to determine the role of female students in ensemble groups from two aspects, namely affective and psychomotor. These group activities are essential for the development of the spirit of togetherness, perseverance and cooperation—activities that are very important for student development. Understanding the group of female students and male students in ensemble activities really needs to be done by trainers / teachers because the self-development of girls and boys will be different, so when they are gathered to work together, special handling is needed to produce cohesion in work. Data was collected by observing the implementation of ensemble learning. The subjects of this research were 32 students in class VII-D of SMP Negeri 2 Mlati. The results of the research show that there are differences in the interaction processin practice and the results of music playing between groups that have female members and those that do not. The presence of female students makes the practice process more dynamic, giving rise to creativity when playing a song. The results of this study can be used as evaluation material for an educator inplanning a more meaningful ensemble learning.

Islamic religious education is important for every Muslim individual to be a guide to life, starting from the family environment and then continuing to the school environment to be an important factor that needs attention. However, during this era of globalization, differences in morality, opinions, and abilities arise. Therefore, the scope of the school or family requires an innovative teaching system that is suitable for this era. By using mixed methods research through reading materials and questionnaires that have been distributed, the result obtained is that the majority of students feel that they have received a fairly good religious education, but some have not for several reasons. Teachers or parents must adjust and know the latest news in the digital era, besides that teachers or parents are prohibited from 'locking' students in an isolated environment away from digital media. Optimizing noble morals in students is influenced by two factors, namely internal factors desired by the students themselves and external factors desired by the family, school, or community. The importance of the contribution between children, schools, and families is the main factor so that every child is not affected by the negative globalization that is rampant today.
How Could the Israel-Hamas Conflict Affect Ukraine?
Authors: Moskalenko Oleksandra , Aiginger Karl
Published: December 2023

It has been almost two years since Russia launched its illegal, large-scale invasion of Ukraine—the second such incursion after the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Ukraine currently finds itself in a protracted war of attrition, with a counteroffensive aimed at reclaiming territory in the South and East. However, it has encountered formidable obstacles presented by Russia’s network of fortifications and minefields. These challenges have been witnessed by the resilient Ukrainian people, who continue to face the complexities of wartime. Amid these difficulties, the international community has now been distracted by the Israel-Hamas conflict. Some analysts suggest that Russia could benefit from this regional conflict and that military and financial resources could be diverted from Ukraine to the Middle East. Recognizing the importance of unified support, there is a strong commitment by the US to consolidate assistance packages for both Ukraine and Israel, in order to mitigate potential logistical challenges. NATO has reaffirmed its commitment to providing support to Ukraine, underscoring its high priority. The EU has meanwhile become somewhat divided; in countries where populists are in government the Israel-Hamas conflict is being used as an excuse to reduce support for Ukraine, a tendency which previously existed clandestinely, due to lingering ties with Russia. The upcoming US elections also present a significant concern for Ukraine, as the political landscape has an impact on support and realignments.Regarding Ukraine’s economy, positive developments are evident in certain sectors. However, the state budget for the upcoming year relies heavily on international financial assistance to cover social expenditures and public sector expenses, since domestic revenue alone falls short of meeting critical needs. Anti-corruption efforts also depend on internal political will and expectation of becoming a member of the EU once the war has ended. In the meantime, Ukraine has taken steps to maximize its domestic defense production, further enhancing its self-reliance during these challenging times.
Psychological Growth of the Protagonist in Pygmalion from Ecological System Theory
Authors: Hou Siyan
Published: December 2023

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics has extended all over the world from 1880s up until now. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman, Pygmalion and Saint Joan. With the great capacity of using play to reflect the reality, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his era. Shaw’s Pygmalion is one of the most popular of his plays. It has been staged all over the English speaking world. And even a film based on the play called My Fair Lady has proved to be an immense success, and has made everyone knows about this play. Its popularity has been perennial and universal.Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, one day overhears a flower girl named Eliza Doolittle and mocks the common way she talks. The next day, Eliza shows up and asks Higgins to teach her talk properly. But his friend Colonel Pickering bets him that he can’t make Eliza talk like a lady in six months’ time. During the time that he accepts the challenge and teaches Eliza, Eliza has many psychological growth. Based on the ecological system theory, this paper makes an analysis of the positive influences of the environment on Eliza from different people and society in reference with five dimensions—microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. The influence from Eliza’s original family, especially from her father, the guidance and deeds of Higgins, and some effects from the society as the microsystem provide positive help for the psychological growth of Eliza. And the interactions among the microsystem, which construct the mesosystem, together with the exosystem and macrosystem make Eliza, a flower girl, grows into a Duchess Eliza with pride and self-consciousness.

Objetivo: describir que dos estudios sobre la iniciativa de inocuidad alimentaria resultaron en oportunidades perdidas para mejorar las prospectivas educativas y laborales de los niños, las niñas y los adolescentes jornaleros del valle de Mexicali en 2023. Metodología: la descripción se lleva a cabo sobre la base de los resultados de dos estudios realizados en sendos periodos. El primero, que data de 2003, comprendió investigación documental, observación y encuestas a maestros, a padres de familia y a niños, niñas y adolescentes. El segundo, de 2023, da seguimiento a la investigación de 2003 mediante entrevistas a cuatro familias que fueron ya objeto de estudio en la primera investigación. Resultados: veinte años después las trayectorias de vida de estos jóvenes exhiben los efectos del abandono institucional y de la ausencia de un sistema de cuidados. Limitaciones: debido a la situación de inseguridad que se vive en el valle de Mexicali, el segundo estudio se limitó solo al seguimiento de cuatro familias. Valor: la investigación constituye una aportación a la discusión sobre las iniciativas concentradas en la producción agrícola y no en los actores. Conclusiones: la ausencia de políticas sociales para este sector perpetúa sus condiciones de pobreza y marginación.
Objetos arqueológicos y personas en exposición
Authors: Gluzman Geraldine
Published: December 2023

In the late 19th century, world fairs were a showcase for emerging nations. The ruling Argentine elites sought to portray Argentina as modern and having a European profile. Argentine’s participation in the 1904 Saint Louis World’s Fair (United States) condenses the laissez-faire of the Argentine state into issues of the pre-Hispanic past and ethnographic present that converge to present a country where the future would detach from the ethnographic present and vestiges of the pre-Hispanic past were rendered part of natural history. Laissez-faire is reflected in two transferred “othernesses.” First, a group of Tehuelche people participated in the fair’s Anthropology Department exhibitions, transforming themselves from subjects to objects of mass consumption. Second, a collector named Zavaleta brought archaeological objects that would become part of the pantheon of Andean civilizations. This article analyzes the presence of these othernesses and how their exhibition helped position them within the political discourse of the Argentine nation.

La noción aristotélica de definición y la designación rígida de Saul Kripke: una semejanza
Authors: Rodríguez Rodríguez Deborah
Published: December 2023

Las implicaciones metafísicas de la designación rígida propuesta por Saul Kripke han sido duramente criticadas desde su presentación. Para varios autores, la atribución esencialista dada a la tesis de Kripke es equivocada, por lo que su análisis debería limitarse al contexto lingüístico y modal. Otros, admiten que hay implicaciones esencialistas en la propuesta kripkeana, pero exigen un desarrollo detallado que supere lo propiamente dicho por el autor. Al igual que ocurre con el esencialismo, la relación entre Kripke y Aristóteles es hoy tema de debate. Una de las interrogantes centrales en este contexto se cuestiona la influencia del Órganon y la Metafísica en la propuesta kripkeana y considera la posibilidad de tomar a Kripke como un heredero del pensamiento aristotélico. El presente trabajo busca abordar esta diatriba a través de la comparación directa de las nociones de designación rígida propuesta por Kripke y la idea de definición planteada por Aristóteles. Ambas nociones se presentan dentro como parte de una investigación lingüística, pero al mismo tiempo, están estrechamente relacionadas con el estudio metafísico de los particulares referidos, específicamente de la predicación de su esencia. La presentación explícita de las diferencias y las semejanzas entre ambas nociones responde a la pregunta acerca de la relación entre Kripke y Aristóteles. Al mismo tiempo, el reconocimiento de un sustrato común que exige un término del lenguaje capaz de dar cuenta directa de lo que son los particulares del mundo se constituye como punto de partida común capaz de reconciliar el estudio de la designación rígida con ciertas ideas aristotélicas. El presente texto recupera la experiencia directa de la realidad como fundamento del lenguaje y lo reconoce como una línea que conecta el estudio de la metafísica clásica y el llamado esencialismo contemporáneo.
Significado tectónico de los sistemas de fallas Jaris y Candelaria en el Antearco de Costa Rica
Authors: Fallas Salazar Xinia Carolina , Linkimer Lepolt , Arroyo Ivonne G.
Published: December 2023

En esta investigación se estudian las fallas Jaris y Candelaria, en el antearco de Costa Rica, a partir de la fotointerpretación, el trabajo de campo y la relocalización de sismos registrados por la Red Sismológica Nacional de Costa Rica. Presentamos evidencias que confirman que ambos sistemas son de tipo dextral y de rumbo noroeste-sureste. Además, determinamos una longitud total de 35 y 65 km, para los sistemas Jaris y Candelaria, respectivamente, lo que implica un potencial sísmico de magnitud momento (Mw) 6.9 y 7.2. Postulamos que el Terremoto de Damas del 2004 (Mw 6.4) está asociado con el sistema Candelaria y, además, que estas fallas, junto con otras fallas dextrales del centro del país facilitan el escape tectónico del Bloque Antearco Centroamericano desde una zona mucho más al sureste de lo propuesto anteriormente. Debido a su cercanía con la Gran Área Metropolitana de San José (15-35 km), las fallas estudiadas son peligrosas para la zona más poblada de Costa Rica.
El milagro de las rosas: un canon perdido. Un acercamiento a las representaciones pictóricas de la cuarta aparición de la Virgen de Guadalupe
Authors: Lorenzo Macías José María
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo es un breve acercamiento a las representaciones pictóricas de la llamada cuarta aparición de la Virgen de Guadalupe o “el milagro de las rosas” en solitario, y se toman como punto de partida las obras sobre este tema pintadas por Juan Correa. Se aborda una sucinta génesis de este tipo de representaciones y se plantea un primer esbozo sobre cómo cayó en desuso este tipo de obras, que se conservan solamente en las pinturas que contienen las cuatro apariciones; en esas obras se verá que perduró el modelo inicial de la cuarta aparición que, podría decirse, tuvo en Juan Correa a su promotor principal.
Evaluación del grado de adopción de los principios cooperativos en la legislación mexicana
Authors: Rojas Herrera Juan José
Published: December 2023

El objetivo del presente artículo consiste en evaluar el grado de adopción de los principios del cooperativismo universal en la legislación que sobre cooperativas se ha emitido en el país, a lo largo de la historia. Para ello se efectuó una labor exhaustiva de análisis comparativo entre el espíritu y orientación filosófica de los principios cooperativos originalmente formulados por la Sociedad Cooperativa de los Equitativos Pioneros de Rochdale, formada en 1844 y, posteriormente, plasmados en tres declaraciones aprobadas por la Alianza Cooperativa Internacional en 1937, 1966 y 1995, y la forma en que éstos fueron incluidos en el contenido normativo, tanto del Código de Comercio de 1889, como en las cuatro versiones de la Ley General de Sociedades Cooperativas: 1927, 1933, 1938 y 1994. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que la legislación hasta ahora expedida no ha logrado traducir en norma jurídica fundamental del sistema cooperativo el contenido esencial de sus principios doctrinarios, lo cual no obedece a un problema de orden técnico, sino que está directamente relacionado con las condiciones y necesidades políticas en las que se han dictado los distintos preceptos legales.
Recognition of Sign Language by Using the Implementation of Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Vikram Boddu , Roy Dr. M Sumender
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The discipline of Sign Language Recognition (SLR) is primarily concerned with the development of techniques that may translate sign language into written or spoken language. The primary purpose of this field is to make it easier for people who are deaf-mute to communicate with the general public. Despite the inherent difficulties that are brought about by the activity's intricacy and the enormous repertory of manual movements that it demands, this specific activity has a significant influence on the larger social setting. The approaches that are now in use for sign language recognition (SLR) are dependent on features that are developed manually in order to portray the motion of sign language. These features are then used in the process of developing classification models. On the other hand, the issue of building dependable features that are capable of properly responding to the wide variety of hand gestures is a considerable difficulty. In this investigation, we suggest a unique convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture as a possible solution to the issue that was described before. One of the capabilities of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is its capacity to independently extract discrete spatial-temporal properties from unprocessed video streams. This eliminates the need for previous information and eliminates the demand for feature building. CNN utilizes many video feeds that include color information, depth cues, and bodily joint locations. These streams are included into the network. A successful integration of color, depth, and trajectory information is achieved by the use of these streams as input. The effectiveness of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is going to be improved as a result of this activity. Through the application of the proposed model to a real dataset received from Microsoft Kinect, the validity of the model is shown. The results of our investigation indicate that its performance is better to that of conventional techniques that are dependent on attributes that are manually developed.
Alcances y limitaciones de la denominación de origen del mezcal en México.
Authors: Salinas García Esteban , Alcaraz Vera Jorge Víctor , Durán Tovar Edith Sarai , Chávez Rivera Rubén
Published: December 2023

En la medida en que se mercantiliza el mezcal, las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MIPYMES) pro­ductoras de este producto artesanal, vinculadas con prácticas diversas y heterogéneas que resultan más susten­tables, son sistemática y legítimamente excluidas del manejo en las plantaciones, así como de los agaves y del conocimiento para la elaboración del producto bajo la Denominación de Origen del Mezcal (DOM). Esto, con miras a favorecer a la producción industrial enfocada en la acumulación de capital y que responde a la demanda sobre todo del mercado internacional. En dicha denominación de origen, se reflejan los esquemas políticos y legales que el Estado mexicano utiliza para legitimar la exclusión y la transición de una producción artesanal a un proceso industrializado de producción. El objetivo de este ensayo, es aportar a la discusión acer­ca de los alcances y limitaciones del distintivo Denominación de Origen (DO), si realmente es un beneficio o perjuicio, ya que a pesar de que existen estados y regiones que pertenecen a dicha denominación, estos no cuentan con un crecimiento, mucho menos un desarrollo local. En todo caso, los beneficios los obtienen los intermediarios e impulsores de dicha denominación, con la, cual adquieren el producto a un bajo precio y lo comercializan en el mercado internacional a un precio mayor, y trasladan los beneficios económicos a otras regiones del país.
Investification en el mercado de la vivienda: estudio exploratorio en Santiago de Chile
Authors: Vergara-Perucich José Francisco , Aguirre-Nuñez Carlos , Marmolejo-Duarte Carlos
Published: December 2023

This study uses a quantitative methodological approach with geographically weighted regressions to address the phenomenon of investification in the Greater Santiago rental market. Using the collection and analysis of transaction data and urban indicators, the location patterns of residential investments are explored for specific urban functions at the census tract level. The analysis reveals that proximity to higher education institutions, stability in rental prices, and the presence of older adults are determining factors in the selection of investment properties. These findings evidence the transformation of the urban landscape as rental spaces for capital and highlight the growing socio-spatial segmentation, thus underlining the need for regulations that address the implications of investification in the urban dynamics of Greater Santiago.
Application of ICT in the co production of social services
Authors:   Department of Public Management Faculty of Economics University of Economics in Katowice, Katowice, Poland, Kozak Anna
Published: December 2023

Aim/purpose – The purpose of this article was to identify the information and commu- nication technology (ICT) tools fostering the co-production of social services, acknowl- edging that the technological environment is an important contextual condition enhanc- ing the development of co-production. Design/methodology/approach – The method used was systematic literature review (SLR). Findings – As a result of the review, the catalog of solutions and tools offered by infor- mation and communication technologies was presented. The results of the research car- ried out indicate that the co-production of social services is favored by the use of such ICT tools as mobile applications, crowdsourcing, open data, big data, real-time data collection and analysis, gamification, and social media. Research implications/limitations – The main implication of the research is the com- prehensive catalog of ICT tools that can be used to facilitate social service co-production. ICT tools also favor the emergence of new forms of co-production; there-fore, the acquaintance of these tools can accelerate this process. The study is constrained by sev- eral limitations. The study is constrained by several limitations. First, applied methodol- ogy, which is qualitative, analyzes secondary data. Second, the co-production in the social services area includes many and various services, and ICT application and impact can differ by specific type of service. Originality/value/contribution – This paper contributes to research on the co-production of social services, particularly in terms of the use of new technologies in this process, in two ways. First, the development of the catalog of ICT tools favoring social service co-production. Their application fosters the involvement of contextual actors, increasing the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of social services. In this way, the social service co-production contributes to better addressing the citizens’ needs, increasing their quality of life and well-being, and unleashing their potential. Second, by taking the PSL perspective and situating factors favoring co-production within a service ecosystem framework, this paper draws attention to public value emerging from new relations, extensive dialogue, delibera- tion, common arrangements, and collaborative activity in virtual communities. Keywords: co-production, public services, social services, public management, ICT. JEL Classification: H41, H83, O33, O35, Z18.
S.A. Esenin’s Sketches: To the Origins of the Poet’s Creative Ideas
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nikolaeva Alla A.
Published: December 2023

The article for the first time analyzes in detail the rough notes of words and poetic lines of S.A. Esenin, which the poet’s draft notebook (1917–1919) preserved though it was partly burned in a fire in Konstantinovo in 1929. This unique draft notebook has a special place in the manuscript heritage of Esenin, who did not keep notebooks and diaries. The established semantic and figurative echoes of the text about the cup and the poem “The Silver Road...” (1917) allow us to consider the sketch as the original version of the poem, to witness the author’s intention changing and to reveal the biblical sources of the text. The unrealized idea of the work “Virgin Mary” in the context of Esenin’s creative work reveals its connection with the poem “O Mother of God...” (1917). The sketches are rich of images distinctive for the revolutionary period poetics, associated with Orthodox motifs (dawn-prayer book, star-candles); metaphors based on a riddle, color identity, polysemy of a word; characters (Mother of God, the muse); one of the leading motifs in this period (the way) and typical for the lyrics of 1917–1919 chronotope (autumn night). The comparison of the figurative-motif complex, rhythmics, techniques, chronotope confirms the relationship of the poetics of sketches and Esenin’s complete works. The study of the sketches proves that even Esenin’s brief notes show how carefully the poet were thinking over the figurative and motif complex of his works.
The Eye of Falcon’s Feather and the Hot Caskets
Authors: Grinberg Mark S.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the analysis of Osip Mandelstam’s poem “Like Chiaroscuro’s Martyr Rembrandt” (1937). It tries to interpret the central enigmatic images (“the eye of the falcon’s feather,” “hot caskets at midnight in the harem”), which have not been satisfactorily explained to date, and providing an example of a holistic interpretation of the text. The analysis also touches on the question of “light and shade” (or chiaroscuro) and the category of time and muteness. Critically reviewing the works of T. Langerak, O. Ronen, M.L. Gasparov and I.Z. Surat, the author offers his own understanding of the poem as a poetic statement about art in general and its effect on humans.
Do We Need a “Reverse Translation”? Shakespeare’s Sonnets Translated by Samuil Marhsak and by Yves Bonnefoy
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Cherkashina Margarita V.
Published: December 2023

The paper provides a detailed analysis of Yves Bonnefoy’s translations of Shakespeare’s sonnets XI to XXII into French (1996‒2007) in their discrete juxtaposition with Samuil Marshak’s translations of the sonnets into Russian (1949), the latter considered a “Russian” rather than an “English” version of Shakespeare. The methodological framework for the study is the “reverse translation” proposed by A.V. Mikhailov. The essence of this approach is that the translated work of literature has to reproduce the unique world of the author and their epoch in their totality, including their semantic connections. The analysis demonstrates that Marshak’s consistent simplification of Shakespeare’s complex metaphor reduces it to simple analogies, while leveling out the multifaceted image of nature connected with the categories of time and death, as well as with the image of the man gaining power over nature (at the cost of breaking the “great chain of being”). At the same time, Bonnefoy’s later translations (using free verse, enjambments and breaking the sonnet form) demonstrate much greater precision and provide an actual interpretation of the sonnet in the process of translation itself. The author of the article sees the approach offered by Olga Sedakova in her new translation of Dante’s “Divine Comedy”, which corresponds to the idea of “reverse translation,” as one of the best approaches to contemporary translation of “Russian Shakespeare.”
“Taras Bulba” by N.V. Gogol in the English context
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sholokhova Anna S.
Published: December 2023

The article provides an overview of significant translations of the novella “Taras Bulba,” implemented from the time of its writing to the present day. A comparative analysis of translations that differed in time made it possible to trace the specifics of translators’ approaches to the original text and the nature of those gains and losses that accompanied the translations. The peculiarities of Gogol’s style and related difficulties have been in many ways a stumbling block for its perception in England and in other countries. George Tolstoy became the first translator of “Taras Bulba” into English in 1859. That and other latest translations of the novella were made according to its second edition (1842). Among them are the translation carried out in 1886 by the American writer Isabel Hapgood, the translation by the American literary historian John Kurnos (1918), the translation included in the collected works by Constance Garnett (1929), as well as a translation made by the Soviet intelligence officer Ovid Gorchakov (1955). In 2003 American writer and translator Peter Constantine undertook the newest “Taras Bulba” translation into English. It has a particular interest from the point of evolution of the novella reception within specific political and historical circumstances.

The recently discovered V.V. Mayakovsky’s notebook with an autographed fragment of the poem “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin” is being published for the first time. This is approximately half of the first part and the whole second part of the poem, which restores the complete draft manuscript of the work with variants to the printed text, rhyme gaps and lines that were not included in it. The text is recorded in the form of a dynamic transcription. The introductory article preceding the publication deals with the place of Mayakovsky’s notebooks in the poet’s creative heritage, textual work on them and a new stage of their study, including the publication of notebooks in the Complete Collection of Mayakovsky’s works, which is currently being prepared at the A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It has also been proven that the text of the poem contained in this notebook can be placed between the texts of notebooks no. 23 and no. 24 pertaining to the same period and currently kept in V.V. Mayakovsky State Museum collection. Comparing these notebooks that contain the autographs of the first and the third parts of the poem, this paper analyses characteristic features of the poet’s creative work, confirms the authenticity of the published notebook, and substantiates its dating. In addition, the article presents the history of this notebook, which was gifted by Mayakovsky to the children’s writer N. Kalma in 1924.

Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) constituyen un compromiso de los Estados para erradicar problemas como el hambre, la pobreza o minimizar el daño al ambiente, promoviendo acciones para el crecimiento económico sostenible respetuoso del medio, lo cual requiere de la educación, la tecnología y las regulaciones que deben imponer los gobiernos tanto a sus instituciones públicas como a las organizaciones privadas. En el trabajo, se exponen las acciones que el Estado costarricense ha ejecutado para el logro de los ODS, condicionadas a los acuerdos para la mitigación del cambio climático. Costa Rica ha desarrollado políticas para el uso eficiente de la energía y en la promoción de la educación, entre otras acciones orientadas hacia el cumplimiento de los ODS. Sin embargo, la pandemia por COVID 19 generó efectos negativos, en cuanto a la aplicación de la gestión pública y privada y la planificación económica, que están siendo orientadas a alcanzar la resiliencia de los sistemas humanos y naturales. Asimismo, cumplir con los ODS está asociado a la conservación de la biodiversidad y los ecosistemas, apoyada en un manejo adecuado de los recursos hídricos. Actualmente, el Estado costarricense está creando las condiciones financieras y legales para disponer de los recursos económicos u financieros que requiere el compromiso con los ODS.

Diferentes actividades humanas modifican los procesos naturales del entorno, por lo que es necesario registrar los cambios, las posibles causas y diseñar estrategias para mitigar su influencia. Para hacer el seguimiento efectivo de los cambios se registran continuamente los datos a través del monitoreo participativo, efectivo para la conservación de recursos biológicos, ya que la comunidad y las personas interesadas son las que mejor conocen su territorio y los organismos que lo habitan. El objetivo principal del estudio consistió en realizar la primera etapa del diseño de un monitoreo participativo con las comunidades aledañas a la Reserva Biológica Cerro Vueltas, ubicadas en el área del Macizo del Cerro de la Muerte, las provincias de Cartago y San José, en la Cordillera de Talamanca, Costa Rica. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas empleando una encuesta con 18 preguntas, de las cuales 12 fueron semiabiertas y seis cerradas. Los resultados de las encuestas evidencian que el turismo en la zona es una de las actividades económicas principales para la comunidad. Además, se reconocen una serie de amenazas relacionadas con el cambio climático, por ejemplo, el cambio de uso de suelo, principalmente por la expansión de las áreas de cultivo de café, y la compra de predios por extranjeros. Amenazas que impactan tanto su entorno como al turismo como actividad económica.
