WRITTEN GAMBLING DISCOURSE IN SPANISH
Authors:   Kyiv National Linguistic University, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bobchynets Lyubov
Published: December 2023

The aim of our studies is to suggest the definition of gambling discourse, to define its types and to describe lexico-grammar, sintactic and graphic peculiarities of the texts included in gambling discourse. The studied discourse belongs to institutional and ritual discourse because gambling games possess rules which the gamblers should follow obligatorily. Gambling discourse is represented by oral and written form. We determine various types of texts belonging to the gambling discourse: advertising texts in the sphere of gambling; specialized texts of gambling discourse; texts of gamblers’ communication during the game and outside the game. Among lexical resources of gambling discourse we single out gambling terms, words of positive evaluation, metaphors, metonymy, hyperbole, comparison. Grammar and syntactic resorces include nominative and imperative sentences, rhetoric questions which communicate a dialogue character to written gambling discourse and motivate potential gamblers to play. Graphic means are characterized by the use of symbols, numbers, verbal and non verbal resources, such as change of colors and sizes, capitalization, animation, outlined text, links to other web pages dedicated to gambling. The range of lexical, grammar, syntactical and graphic means represent a positive image of a game and incent the gamblers to play. The texts of gambling discourse perform nominative, informative and expressive functions.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Hnoiova Yaroslavna
Published: December 2023

The culture of consumption in the French-language fashion discourse, and also considers the linguistic and pragmatic aspect are analyzed in this article. It is found that the texts of glossy magazines use techniques of suggestion and1 infection in order to increase sales, popularize certain trends by involving celebrities in discussions, and use certain words and constructions to impose the importance of a new trend. To achieve this goal, the media influence people by trying to evoke emotions from the text they read, the photo they attach, and the advertisement of products. This directly affects the increase in consumption by users who are trying to keep up with the trend to bring themselves closer to the upper class, which has access to all the resources, so knowing the methods of influencing the human psyche, sales are growing, which directly leads to the problem of consumerism in modern society. The article highlights the importance of the fashion aspect in human life, the psychological methods of influence on a person used by the fashion industry, and analyzes the verbal methods of influence.
REPRESENTATION OF UOC, OCU AND ROC ON FRENCH-LANGUAGE MEDIA RESOURCES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIA’S FULL-SCALE INVASION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Krasniak Yevheniia
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of lexical means of representing Ukrainian Orthodox churches as compared to that of the Russian Orthodox Church. The object of the research is French-language news published after 24.02.2022. Main Ukrainian Orthodox Churches were enumerated; it was shown the relevance of linguistic researches connected with them. The author describes the current circumstances of Ukrainian Orthodox communities during the war, focuses on the importance of the religious landscape in Ukraine as a whole and, on the other hand, shows the role of ROC in spreading untrue and manipulative information throughout Russia and the world. All these tendencies are reflected in French-language media, although not by analogous means, inasmuch as each and every news media resource uses different methods and lexical means according to two main criteria. Those are its socio-political viewpoint and secularity level. The analysis of news articles about the modern Ukrainian Orthodox landscape seems relevant under the latest conditions of a rising academic interest in religion. The article deals with leading tendencies in the French-language news covering mentioned issues as well as with lexical means used in the representation of those. Main linguistic and sociocultural challenges of Francophone journalists were mentioned. Personal contribution: observing the representation of Ukrainian Orthodoxy as opposed to Russian Orthodoxy within francophone media, which can be useful for translators as well as for researchers.

Authors: Mistry Anuradha  , Sandesh Kumar  , Rama Kant
Published: December 2023

Diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies, a diverse category of tumors that begin in the blood and bone marrow, are extremely difficult. Our knowledge of these conditions has been revolutionized by the development of cytogenetics, the study of chromosomes and genetic abnormalities. A total of 180 patients with benign and malignant hematological malignancy had peripheral bone marrow or blood samples obtained using the standard G-banding procedure. Fifty-one percent of patients had normal karyotypes. In addition, thirty individuals (15%) had a complicated karyotype whereas eighty-five percent (85%) had a normal one. Three-hundred and three percent of patients were diagnosed with Pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Pre-B ALL), followed by twenty percent with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), and fourteen percent with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.

AGENCY CONFLICTS AND FINANCIAL REPORTING QUALITY
Authors:   University of Split, Split, Croatia, Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism, Šodan Slavko , Perica Ivana , Ćurković Stipe
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the impact of agency conflicts in owner-manager-creditors relations on financial reporting quality. Based on arguments from the agency theory and the positive accounting theory, we assume that companies without debt and in which managers are ultimate owners, i.e. where agency conflicts are not profound, have a higher earnings quality than companies using financial leverage and with separated owner-manager role. The data for empirical part of the research was gathered from Orbis Europe database. The sample consists of very large, large, and medium-sized companies from Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia with financial data covering 2018 and 2019. In order to test research hypotheses the sample is divided into two groups depending on a company's ownership and debt characteristics. Descriptive statistics, univariate tests, correlation analysis and regression analysis are used to analyse the results. Our findings indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in the earnings quality concerning the type of ownership, while the level of financial leverage, by contrast, significantly decreases the earnings quality.

Authors:   Sveučilište u Zagrebu, Ekonomski fakultet, Vlah Jerić Silvija
Published: December 2023

Cilj analize je istražiti utjecaj odabira metrike za vrednovanje klasifikatora na financijsku uspješnost sustava trgovanja temeljenih na modelima strojnog učenja za burzovne indekse iz zemalja CEE i SEE regija. Tehničkim indikatorima se koriste kao značajke za odabrane algoritme strojnog učenja pri predviđanju smjera promjena vrijednosti indeksa, tj. klasificiranje dana trgovanja u dvije klase. Istraživanje je pokazalo da odabir metrike za vrednovanje klasifikatora nema veliki utjecaj na financijsku uspješnost takvog sustava, no ipak su najveći prosječni prinosi po transakciji postignuti maksimizacijom točnosti. Nadalje, algoritam slučajne šume i naivni Bayesov klasifikator dali su najveće prosječne prinose korištenjem točnosti, dok su stroj potpornih vektora i algoritam k najbližih susjeda najveće prosječne prinose postigli pri korištenju površine ispod krivulje operativnih karakteristika. Utvrđeno je da očekivano veliki utjecaj na financijsku uspješnost ima odabir algoritma za strojno učenje te da algoritam slučajne šume daje najbolje rezultate na ovim podacima.

U ovom radu dekomponira se nejednakost ukupnog dohotka na sastavnice koje prikazuju doprinose pojedinih izvora dohotka ukupnoj nejednakosti. Glavni izvori dohotka su dohodak od zaposlenosti, samozaposlenosti, kapitala i imovine, socijalne naknade te izravni porezi. Rezultati za Hrvatsku uspoređeni su s rezultatima za 14 odabranih EU zemalja, a kao podatkovna podloga korišten je mikrosimulacijski model poreza i socijalnih naknada EUROMOD. Novina koju donosi ovo istraživanje jest upotreba EU-SILC podataka za Hrvatsku koji su korigirani kako bi reprezentativnije odražavali gornji dio distribucije dohotka. Analiza pokazuje da nereprezentativni podaci pružaju pristranu sliku o nejednakosti ukupnog dohotka i relativnoj važnosti pojedinih izvora dohotka.
PERCEIVED SAFETY OF NATURAL FOOD PRODUCTS: INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT PACKAGING CUES
Authors: Milinović Nives , First Komen Ivana
Published: December 2023

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je razumjeti kako različiti signali na pakiranju utječu na percepciju potrošača o sigurnosti prirodnih prehrambenih proizvoda. Identificirana su četiri signala koji se koriste u sklopu marketinških napora kako bi se potrošačima sugerirala viša sigurnost prehrambenih proizvoda: poznata marka, organska oznaka kvalitete, domaće podrijetlo proizvoda i dizajn pakiranja koji sugerira prirodnost. Kroz eksperimentalni dizajn istraživanja, pet skupina ispitanika evaluiralo je pet različitih podražaja: jedan podražaj za svaki signal sigurnosti i jedan podražaj bez signala sigurnosti. Svaka skupina ispitanika evaluirala je tri kategorije prirodnih proizvoda: med, maslinovo ulje i rajčicu. Rezultati pokazuju da se proizvod bez ikakvih signala sigurnosti smatra znatno manje sigurnim od proizvoda s bilo kojim od promatranih signala sigurnosti. Istodobno, između različitih signala sigurnosti gotovo da nema razlika u percipiranoj sigurnosti. Rezultati daju doprinos u području istraživanja pakiranja kao komunikacijskog kanala i području istraživanja percepcije sigurnosti hrane. Dobivene spoznaje imaju važne implikacije za male proizvođače koji se pridržavaju standarda sigurnosti i proizvode prirodne proizvode jer ukazuju da se signaliziranjem prirodnosti može konkurirati jakim markama u smislu percepcije sigurnosti, ali i za regulatorna tijela jer ukazuju na važnost sustavne kontrole kvalitete.
THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN INCREASING MARKET AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF FEMALE ENTREPRENEURSHIP: THE CASE OF CROATIA
Authors:   Institute of Public Finance, Zagreb, Croatia, Morić Milovanović Bojan
Published: December 2023

Female entrepreneurship is a rapidly expanding academic topic in the field of entrepreneurship. Many researchers claim that female entrepreneurship represents a new stream of economic growth because higher inclusion of women in entrepreneurial activities generates new jobs, enables the exploitation of new business opportunities, and provides new perspectives and solutions to managerial, organizational and business problems in general. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to further explore the impact of gender, experience and education on the entrepreneurial performance. More specifically, by using the linear regression analysis the paper will explore direct and moderating effects of gender, experience and education on the market and new product development in the context of Croatian SMEs. The results of this study did not confirm any positive effects of gender, experience, or education on market development and new product development. Moreover, the results did not confirm the existence of moderation effects between gender and experience on market development, nor on new product development. On the other hand, this study produced a very interesting finding, that the relationship between education and market development, and education and new product development is moderated in such a way that it is stronger for women than for men. This means that business performance, in this case considered as market and new product development, is higher with the increase in level of education among female entrepreneurs. Therefore, these findings provide another layer of evidence to policy makers that tailor-made educational business programs are more than necessary and useful to prepare women for entrepreneurial projects, which in turn brings many benefits to the national economy and society as a whole.

LINKING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO THE DIGITAL ENTERPRISE PLATFORM
Authors:   Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Faculty of Materials Science and Technology in Trnava, Institute of Industrial Engineering and Management, PRAJ FILIP
Published: December 2023

Effective business management is based on the use of relevant information. To be useful, information must be available in the right quantity, quality, place and time. In an enterprise, this function is often provided by an information system. The enterprise information system is one of the key factors for the competitiveness of not only large and multinational companies but also small and medium-sized enterprises. The information system gives the management of the enterprise access to various output reports and statistics, which are a source of information needed for flexible decision-making. However, flexibility requires timeliness, regularity and speed. Timeliness is understood as the actual input of information, regularity is understood as the flow of information at regular intervals to give an idea of developments in a given area, and speed means the time in which the necessary information can be obtained. However, in addition to flexible decision-making, the management has also set a long-term goal for which the most valuable information is also important. In order to be competitive today, a company must be able to react flexibly to changes in the external environment in response to customer demands and competitor behaviour. In general, there are two ways to adapt to these changes. The first is short-term, one-off or transitional measures. The second option is long-term action in the form of changes in the company's processes, its structure, or intervention in the corporate culture. An example of such a change can be the introduction of an enterprise-wide information system [Gala 2009].
AVIATION FUEL STOREHOUSE FIRE MODELLING FOR EMERGENCY PLANNING PURPOSES
Authors:   Technical University of Kosice, GLATZ JURAJ , KOTIANOVA ZUZANA ,   Technical University of Kosice
Published: December 2023

As a potential source of a major accident, aviation fuel tanks represent a potential source of danger not only for the airport but also for businesses in the vicinity of the airport. Fire is one of the main hazards associated with the operation of fuel storage tanks. Depending on the type of storage tanks, there may be a fire in the tank itself or a fire in the bund. An important factor in an actual fire is the influence of wind, which affects the geometry of the flame and thus the range of heat flux and its impact on other equipment in the vicinity of the fire. Another phenomenon known to occur in industrial fire accidents is the domino effect, where the fire can spread to other equipment and cause more severe damage. From this point of view, a systematic risk analysis is needed, where the procedures known within the SEVESO series of directives can be used. The outputs of the risk analysis and impact calculations of the consequences allow better planning for an effective and safe management of the accident. This article describes the possible consequences of an aviation fuel storage accident at an airport near which manufacturing plants and other infrastructure are located.

The paper is an overview of the design of elements of an adaptive assembly system. Furthermore, this paper seeks to address with analysis and evaluation of the elements of the adaptive assembly system. The work presents a taxonomy in the field of adaptive assembly. The core of the work consists of the design of the architecture of individual systems. It is necessary to broaden knowledge about this topic because the designed elements can serve as an overview of this issue. Moreover, at the same time, they can use it in industrial practice. The proposal provides an overview of the elements for possible detailed processing of a specific design of an adaptive assembly system, either when changing an existing assembly system or when designing a new system. To ensure the long-term sustainability of the company's competitive ability, it is necessary to be able to respond flexibly to changes in production and assembly requirements. The issue (theme) is current and was defined based on the finding that there was a demand for the ability to offer multiple product variants and the introduction of new products in shorter and shorter time intervals.

The article's subject is to indicate ergonomic tools, which create room for saving costs for the enterprise by targeting the management of the workforce through influencing the degree of risk of physical load. The ergonomic solutions take into account people as a priority. People spend a large part of their lives at work, and there is an increased emphasis on productivity, quality and efficiency. However, achieving good results over the long term requires healthy employees. Ergonomics aims to optimise the workspace and environment to minimise the risks of harm to health and make it easier for people to work. Employers should give priority to occupational health and safety. However, the company's financial burden should also be considered. These objectives can be met by applying ergonomic measures to reduce the risk of physical strain on employees. It is essential to recognise that, although work systems will become more automated and digitalised due to the introduction of Industry 4.0, human involvement will still be necessary. Industry 4.0 can be the answer to reducing the physical burden on employees. Several analytical methods were used to obtain the analytical basis, which served to identify employees in particular risk groups in terms of physical strain, to describe the state of the workforce in industrial enterprises, and to map the financial burden of industrial enterprises on employees classified in risk groups in terms of physical strain at work. Based on the example of the application of ergonomic tools to influence the degree of risk of the physical load of the enterprise's workforce, it will be possible to understand better the enterprise's management, where the scope for cost savings of industrial enterprises is created.

Authors: Bedoya-Jiménez Mauricio Alejandro , Quintero-Arango Luis Fernando
Published: December 2023

El presente manuscrito tiene por objetivo describir la morfología organizacional y la planeación estratégica de Mipymes en la ciudad de Medellín, vinculando la articulación entre la planeación estratégica (PE) y la morfología organizacional (MO). Se utiliza el enfoque cualitativo con un diseño descriptivo, bajo un método fenomenológico, utilizando como instrumento de recolección de información la entrevista semi estructurada y para los resultados el análisis categorial. Se seleccionan siete empresas, de diferentes sectores económicos, que fueran Mipymes con el criterio de conveniencia, cercanía y fácil acceso a la información. Los resultados generales demuestran que se encuentran fallas en la PE al no responder a los requerimientos del mercado, su MO por tanto no se encuentra alineada con dichas necesidades; con respecto a la cultura organizacional no se logra encontrar que exista al interior de las empresas analizadas una clara concepción de su importancia, ya que se presentaba deficiencias en el trabajo en equipo y en retención de personal. Desde el análisis de los resultados se brinda una orientación a las Mipymes, para que puedan considerar que la PE brinda rumbo a la organización y puede permitir tomar decisiones de mejora continua; así mismo, la MO puede dar una identidad corporativa que identifique a una empresa logrando consolidar estrategias endógenas que busquen la permanencia de la organización en el mercado.

Published: December 2023

: Early and accurate diagnosis of dengue is critical for prompt treatment and avoiding severe complications. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the serological and hematological parameters for predicting the dengue virus infection.

: A laboratory-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the patients who visited Sumeru Hospital, Lalitpur, Nepal, from July 2022 to June 2023. Blood samples were collected from suspected dengue cases and tested using the rapid diagnostic immunochromatography (ICT) method, and hematological parameters were also assessed. The Mann-Whitney U test compared continuous variables between dengue-infected and non-infected groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was done to evaluate the association of variables for dengue positivity.

: When compared to dengue-negative cases, dengue-positive cases had thrombocytopenia, leucopenia, erythrocytosis, high hemoconcentration, low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). However, binary logistic regression predicted platelet count, total leucocyte count, MCH, MCHC, neutrophil count and lymphocyte count as significant predictors of dengue positivity.

: This study revealed the characteristics and demographics of dengue-positive cases and their associations with hematological parameters. Furthermore, the identified predictive markers can help healthcare professionals diagnose and manage dengue cases more promptly, potentially reducing the disease's burden.
FIP1L1– PDGFRA positive chronic eosinophilic leukemia: A case report
Authors: Bhartiya Richa , Agrawal Sujata , Poornakala S  , Desai Nina G
Published: December 2023

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a rare type of leukemia which is characterized by persistently increased number of eosinophils in peripheral blood and bone-marrow alongwith evidence of clonal proliferation of eosinophils with tissue infiltration by eosinophils leading to organ damage and causing systemic manifestations. An accurate diagnosis of CEL is essential as these patients show excellent response to imatinib mesylate. Use of technique like FISH (fluorescent in-situ hybridization) & RTPCR (Reverse Transcriptase) helps in proving the clonality of eosinophils. We report a case of CEL with FIP1L1 (Fip1-Like-1) PDGFRA (Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor – Alpha Gene) mutation in 29-year old male presenting with persistent eosinophilia. Rarity of this entity definitely needs a space in literature.
A curious case of benign ovarian teratoma with multiple malignant tranformations: A histopathologists quagmire
Authors: Rastogi Ruchi , Bhatnagar Gunmala , Kalita Dipti
Published: December 2023

Mature cystic teratomas of ovary are common benign germ cell tumors that constitute about 20% of all the ovarian tumors. These tumors however have a rare potential for malignant transformation 0.17-2% and therefore there is a requirement for intraoperative diagnosis to establish an appropriate line of treatment. Incidence of mature cystic teratoma undergoing multiple types of malignant transformation in the same patient is extremely rare and only a small number of such cases have been published in literature. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are the gold standard for diagnosis and remains the mainstay for defining the treatment course and prognosis.
Keyphrase generation for the Russian-language scientific texts using mT5
Authors: Glazkova Anna V. , Morozov Dmitry A. , Vorobeva Marina S. , Stupnikov Andrey
Published: December 2023

In this work, we applied the multilingual text-to-text transformer (mT5) to the task of keyphrase generation for Russian scientific texts using the Keyphrases CS&Math Russian corpus. The automatic selection of keyphrases is a relevant task of natural language processing since keyphrases help readers find the article easily and facilitate the systematization of scientific texts. In this paper, the task of keyphrase selection is considered as a text summarization task. The mT5 model was fine-tuned on the texts of abstracts of Russian research papers. We used abstracts as an input of the model and lists of keyphrases separated with commas as an output. The results of mT5 were compared with several baselines, including TopicRank, YAKE!, RuTermExtract, and KeyBERT. The results are reported in terms of the full-match F1-score, ROUGE-1, and BERTScore. The best results on the test set were obtained by mT5 and RuTermExtract. The highest F1-score is demonstrated by mT5 (11,24 %), exceeding RuTermExtract by 0,22 %. RuTermextract shows the highest score for ROUGE-1 (15,12 %). According to BERTScore, the best results were also obtained using these methods: mT5 — 76,89 % (BERTScore using mBERT), RuTermExtract — 75,8 % (BERTScore using ruSciBERT). Moreover, we evaluated the capability of mT5 for predicting the keyphrases that are absent in the source text. The important limitations of the proposed approach are the necessity of having a training sample for fine-tuning and probably limited suitability of the fine-tuned model in cross-domain settings. The advantages of keyphrase generation using pre-trained mT5 are the absence of the need for defining the number and length of keyphrases and normalizing produced keyphrases, which is important for flective languages, and the ability to generate keyphrases that are not presented in the text explicitly.
Text explication of the concept “Cruelty” in the novel by Pavel Nilin
Authors:   Saratov State University, Orlova Nadezhda M.
Published: December 2023

The text explication of the key and title concept of Pavel Nilin’s novel Cruelty is considered in the article. The place of this mental formation in the linguistic and cognitive picture of the world is very important, despite the differences in the approaches of different scientists to its understanding. Cruelty is equated with aggression and violence in most social sciences (psychology, philosophy, sociology). Philological studies consider the phenomenon of cruelty as a literary motif or concept and its verbalization in the paradigm of texts which are created in different epochs. The interpretation of the concept field “Cruelty” is realized in close connection with the field “Mercy”. This connection has a significant basis in the Russian linguistic and cognitive picture of the world and is confirmed by lexicographic data. Numerous indications of the existence of the concept of “Cruelty” and direct/indirect data indicating the concept of “Mercy” are contained in the text, which has become the subject of analysis of this article. Mercy as one of the fundamental Christian moral qualities and virtues, the manifestation of love and truth is opposed to lies and betrayal, which are components of the concept sphere “Sin”, which, in turn, verbalizes the hyperconcept “Darkness”. The speech characteristics of the characters, text markers and contexts are saturated with lexical components that verbalize these conceptual fields. At the same time, the name of the concept “cruelty/ cruel” is practically not used. The comprehension of revolutionary events during the thaw period demonstrates the uniqueness of the semantic content of the concept in the texts of this author. This historical period forms in the author’s understanding the semantic component “lies”, which becomes relevant for the texts of the late Soviet and post-Soviet periods.
Visual portrait of the main character in “Landscape and genre” by N. S. Leskov A Winter’s Day
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Lemishka Anna T.
Published: December 2023

The problem of the interaction of words and images in the works of N.S. Leskov is currently the least studied. The genre subtitle of the late story A Winter’s Day (1894) – “Landscape and genre” encourages us to consider the work in the aspect of the designated problem. O. V. Evdokimova (1980), B. S. Dykhanova (2013), O. V. Chervinskaya (2018), D. S. Rivanenkova (2021) analyze the features of the genre, taking into account the meanings of the subtitle. The specific nature of the genre of the work determines the poetics of the portrait in it, which has not been studied before. The portrait of the main character in the story by N.S. Leskov is interpreted as a visual portrait, a visual image. The understanding of the “visual image” is based on literary, cultural and art criticism works of the modern scientists. The climax in the poetics of the portrait of the main character, Lydia, is a comparison with the goddess Diana. The analysis of sculptural and pictorial contexts (“Goddess Artemis with a deer” Tanagra, end of 4th century B.C., “Diana of Versailles”, circa 325 B. C., “Diana Resting”, 1732–1733, “The Hunt of Diana”, 1616–1620 etc.) illustrates that the writer shows the world through the lens of the depicted. Contextual connections of Lydia’s portrait with the image of Diana actualize the visual image in the work of N. S. Leskov. The main character of the story is an exceptional character against the background of other (everyday) characters of the work, since her visual portrait, which includes the features of pictorial and sculptural images, was created as a separate work of art. The article shows that the poetics of a visual portrait is determined by different facets of the genre – “Landscape and genre”: the everyday and the existential ones.

The article deals with the poetry oeuvre of the modern Russian poet Svetlana Kekova. The goal of this research is to examine texts created in the genre of poetic still life (Tikhaya zhizn (Quiet life), Po reke pechalnoy luna proplyvaet ryboy… (The moon is floating down the sad river like a fish...), Pomme de terre, V starom barake, gde tvoy poyavlyaetsa vrag… (In the old barrack hut where your enemy appears...), Ogon’ veshchey (Fire of things), Sredi nadezhd, raskayanja i strakhov (Among hopes, repentance and fears)). Still lifes in S. Kekova’s poetry is a particular case of the manifestation of a “religious ekphrasis”, due to which the described series of objects acquire a second symbolic meaning. The main place in the article is given to a detailed analysis of the poetic diptych Tikhaya zhizn (Quiet life). Two parts of the cycle address Dutch and Flemish still lifes, though the author’s intentions are connected with the comprehension of a sacred plot that goes back to the New Testament history. The mirror structure of this text has been revealed, the semantic principles underlying the compositional structure of the cycle have been shown. If the “Dutch still lifes” consecutively reflect the key events of the New Testament (The Last Supper, Crucifixion and Resurrection), and all the three poems are united by the idea of the victory of light over darkness and the possibility of salvation, then in the “Flemish still lifes” the author speaks about the sinfulness of the earthly life. The Dutch and Flemish still lifes in Tikhaya zhizn (Quiet life) are contrasted as worlds of salvation and death, which are being infinitely attracted and repelled. Together they represent a complex dialectic of the Christian history. This study pays special attention to the problem of ekphrasis, as it has been found that one of the possible pretexts of the “Flemish still lifes” is the painting “The Meat Stall” by Pieter Aertsen. The article concludes that the main sense-generating mechanism of S. Kekova’s writing is the ability of the author’s view to transfigure earthly things so that you can see echoes of the higher News in them.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) has emerged as a cornerstone in the modern nursing. It is a systematic approach that integrates the best available evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to inform and guide nursing practice. This research paper provides a comprehensive review of evidence-based practice in nursing, including its concept, key principles, implementation strategies, and impact on patient outcomes. Furthermore, it explores the challenges and barriers to implementing EBP in nursing and offers recommendations for its successful integration into clinical settings.

BACKGROUND: The need for clinically useful biomarkers which can predict the surgical outcome after primary debulking surgery (PDS) in patients with advance ovarian cancer (AOC) is really important. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) is the main binding protein expressed by ovarian cancer cells, which plays a prominent role in promoting proliferation, driving invasion, and suppressing apoptosis. This study was conducted to assess the performance of IGFBP2 in predicting the surgical outcome after PDS in patients with AOC.METHODS: Twenty-four subjects with AOC (Stage IIIc/IV) who underwent PDS were recruited consecutively. Clinicopathologic data were obtained from subjects' medical records. Blood samples were withdrawn form each subject and preoperative level of IGFBP2 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Multivariate analysis was employed to test the performance of multiple predictors of surgical outcome.RESULTS: Eighteen patients (75%) had suboptimal outcome after PDS. Mean IGFBP2 level was significantly higher in the suboptimal group (1157.5±359.9 ng/mL vs. 679.1±504.5 ng/mL, p=0.018). In bivariate model, higher preoperative level of IGFBP2 predict the suboptimal outcome with good accuracy (AUC: 0.796, sensitivity: 83.3%, specificity: 83.3%, p=0.033, optimal threshold level 870 ng/mL). Higher IGFBP2 level was associated with higher risk of suboptimal outcome, although IGFBP2 was not an independent risk factor (adjusted OR: 5.0, 95% CI: 0.43-57.9, p=0.198).CONCLUSION: IGFBP2 is a novel and promising biomarker for surgical outcome prediction following PDS in AOC patients. Since it is predictive for suboptimal outcome, patients with higher preoperative level of IGFBP2 needs more thorough preoperative evaluation as well as meticulous surgical technique to optimize the surgical outcome.KEYWORDS: IGFBP2, advance ovarian cancer, PDS, surgical outcome, predictor
The relationship between immun staining and progression markers in IgA nephropathy

Objective: To determine the relationship between immunofluorescence microscopy findings and progression markers at the time of diagnosis in immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy.
Methods: Fifty-two patients with pathological diagnosis of primary IgA nephropathy by showing mesangial and mesangiocapillary IgA-dominant immune deposits in immunofluorescence microscopy were included in the study. At the time of biopsy, biochemical and hematological data, Oxford MEST score and immunofluorescent staining findings were recorded. The serum IgA/C3 ratio was calculated. The immunofluorescence results of the total group were compared with the markers of progression at the time of diagnosis, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hematuria, proteinuria, creatinine, and serum IgA/C3 ratio.
Results: The mean age of the study group was 39.9±12.3 years and 55.8% were male. eGFR, albumin, hemoglobin, IgM were significantly lower, and uric acid and hematuria were significantly higher in those with proteinuria above 1 g compared to those with low proteinuria. A positive correlation was found between IgA, C3 and lambda staining and hematuria. There was a positive correlation between C3 staining and creatinine, and a positive correlation with hematuria. A correlation was found between Kappa staining and eGFR.
Conclusion: Correlation was found between IgA, C3 and lambda staining and hematuria at the time of diagnosis in IgA nephropathy.

Given the current status of research and implementation, the various contributions show that research, and in particular the analysis of the impacts of reforms, must proceed in parallel with implementation, in order to create a virtuous cycle in which research and policy making mutually feed each other. Besides a “window of opportunity” is open for what concerns interurban and urban transport. Several experiences in different European cities confirm that an increasing number of cities are already well into the process of rationalising and increasing the sustainability of their transport systems, notably through the design and implementation of pricing policies. And also for inter-urban transport things are moving, e.g. the proposed revised Eurovignette Directive can be seen as a step in the right direction, although still containing many constraints which would prevent fair and efficient pricing of road freight vehicles. In general it can be said that Social Marginal Cost Pricing is still developing. Most practical experiences only use simple pricing schemes, which are far from optimal prices. In the long term fine-tuning of objectives and schemes will be necessary. Some general recommendations based on several Imprint seminars and the papers presented in this issue.
Reliability of retrospective assessment of the age of first menstruation

The age of the first menstruation is one of the indicators for assessing the course of puberty. It is also a sensitive indicator of the economic situation of individual professional groups or societies, and the low average age of menarche is widely recognized as a marker of society’s well-being. The aim of the study was to analyse the reliability of the retrospective method of assessing the age at menarche by comparing the results to the age obtained from continuous research. Data regarding the age at menarche came from longitudinal somatic development and physical fitness studies conducted between 1976 and 2022. In 2022, 47 women were examined. In continuous studies, the prospective method was used in the assessment of the age of first menstruation while in the 2004 and 2022 studies a retrospective method was applied. Only in 4 out of 47 women the age of the first menstruation declared in 2004 and 2022 (the women were 32–34 and 50–52 years old, respectively) was consistent with the one found in continuous studies. In other cases, there was a discrepancy between the age found in continuous studies and self-reported in 2004 or 2022 or between the age stated in 2004 and 2022. Of those women who were present for the 2022 study, 36 had information about the age of first menstruation from continuous studies and the age of menarche in 2004 was given. For this sample the arithmetic mean and the standard deviation of the age at menarche were calculated. It was found that the retrospective method often used in the assessment of the age of the first menstruation is not fully reliable, as the average discrepancy in the assessment ranged from nearly 1 month (0.05 years) to over 2 months (0.19 years) compared to the prospective method. Women surveyed in 2004 determined the age of the first menstruation more accurately compared to statements obtained 18 years later from the same women. This study suggests that long-term memory (LTM) of a significant life event of every woman is unreliable, as indicated by the difference in the declared age of the first menstruation of women examined in 2004 and 2022, which, in individual cases, was up to 3, 4 or 5 years.
