Afro-Surreal and Afro-Futuristic Visual Technologies in Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Colson Whitehead’s Zone One
Authors: Spencer Rochelle 
Published: November 2019

The recent explosion of interest in black speculative fiction necessitates study of these new, innovative texts. Afro-Surrealism, a form of black speculative fiction that began in the 1920s (First Wave Afro-Surrealism) and gained popularity in the 1960s (Second Wave Afro-Surrealism), has entered a Third Wave, one that closely mirrors its aesthetic cousin Afro- Futurism in its incorporation of technology into various texts. Both Afro-Surrealism and Afro-Futurism have sparked an outpouring of visual art, music, books, websites, and films, but more importantly, these movements have reinvigorated the novel by incorporating film’s storytelling techniques (jump cuts, montages). These narrative changes, when coupled with the frequent references to film, reveal how some black writers are rethinking technology. For the Afro-Surrealist, borrowing from film’s visual technologies allows for a more meaningful retelling of history, while for the Afro-Futurist, cinematic writing represents people of color’s ability to work as technological innovators and creators. This paper positions Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao as the representative Third Wave Afro-Surrealist text, and Colson Whitehead’s Zone One as the representative Afro-Futurist text.
Speculations on the Mediterranean Borderscape: Le Baiser de Lampedusa
Authors: Ruzzi Silvia 
Published: November 2019

Authors of academic research on globalization often employ watery metaphors -fluidity, circulation, flows - in attempt to analyze the unlimitedness of movements of capital, commodities, ideas, and people. The frictionless sea has thus come to be the metaphor of circulation par excellence. Yet, in the last two decades, the hardening of migration policies all over Europe and beyond EU borders, which has aimed at strengthening a water-barrier between Europe and its “southern beyond”, compels for a consideration of the maritime space, the Mediterranean Sea, as b/order space(s). Through a geo-literary analysis of the novel Le Baiser de Lampedusa (2011) by Mounir Charfi, I will focus my attention on the ways in which the Mediterranean Sea is rendered, modeled and reflected as a b/order space in and through literary representation. The author through the close association of the ordinary and the fantastic, and employing a narrative mode that undermines realism, creates an alternative description of the Mediterranean borderscape in which basic assumptions of referentiality do not hold anymore. In fact, throughout the narrative, the notion of the Mediterranean sea is challenged and its visual appearance becomes blurred and disappears. As a consequence of its disappearance, continents shift and geographic regions are subverted. What emerges is first that the understanding of the Mediterrannean Sea as a b/order is put into question, and secondly, that geopolitical delimitations are not only arbitrary but also flexible. Therefore, the following article deals with the realm of counterfactual geography in border fiction.

Background. The progressive increase of the number of schoolchildren with adaptation disorders and low level of health in recent years determines the need to assess the characteristics of the psychosomatic status in children and adolescents with various types of somatic pathology, including diseases of ENT organs, accompanied by nasal breathing disorders and hypoxia. It is also necessary to determine the severity of stress in children, for timely prevention and correction of these disorders.Aim: to assess the level of stress in schoolchildren with nasal breathing disorders against the background of nasal diseases and concomitant psychosomatic disorders.Materials and methods. 481 schoolchildren aged 12–17 (boys and girls) were examined. Nasal breathing disorders were assessed by a comprehensive ENT examination, including rhinoscopy, radiography of the sinuses, and olfactometry. The presence and severity of stress were determined by the questionnaire “Social factors and stress”.Results. We found that the high level of stress in children with nasal breathing disorders on the background of ENT pathology is more often associated with the high frequency and severity of psychosomatic symptoms: the presence of dorsalgia, asthenic syndrome, chronic headache and frequent episodes of abdominal pain. Moderately and significantly increased levels of stress associated with the presence of children with hypertension, asthenic syndrome, frequent abdominal pain, frequent pain in the cervical spine, panic disorders.Conclusions. Thus, the presence of certain psychosomatic complaints in children with nasal breathing disorders is directly related to the level of stress, which is important to take into account when planning preventive and corrective measures aimed at increasing the adaptive capacity and stress resistance of children. The studies illustrate the need to assess the psychosomatic status and the level of stress in schoolchildren with nasal breathing disorders taking into account their existing comorbid disorders of the psychosomatic spectrum.

Published: November 2019

The relevance of cold injury is due to its high specific weight in the structure of injuries, complexities of complex therapy, and unsatisfactory results of treatment. It is known that in the pathogenesis of local cold injury, the leading role belongs to endothelial dysfunction, which secretes a huge amount of biologically active substances, including matrix metalloproteinases.Aim: to determine the dynamics of the content of matrix metalloproteinases of the second subfamily (MMP-2, MMP-9) in the serum of patients with local cold injury.Materials and methods. The study included 80 patients (60 men, 20 women) with frostbite of the III–IV degree of the foot to the level of the lower third of the leg in the late reactive period and the period of granulation and epithelization.Results. In the late reactive period in patients with cryopreservation, the level of MMP-2 was 3.4 times higher relative to the control (p = 0.011), on day 30 MMP-2 values did not differ from the control parameters (p = 0.103). The level of collagenase B (MMP-9) in patients with local cold injury on day 5 was 14.5 times higher than the control parameters (p = 0.002), on day 30 – 12.5 times higher compared to the control group (p = 0.000094).Conclusion. During the analysis of the data obtained, we can think about the dual nature of collagenases during the processes of inflammation. In a situation of distress, collagenases prevent endothelial dysfunction by eliminating the cellular structures of the endothelium to ensure adequate metabolism in tissues. Their importance as markers of failure of adequate flow of reparative processes is not excluded.

Fibroproliferative diseases have been described in the lungs, kidneys, liver, eyes, heart, skin, and abdomen. Each fibrous pathology has causal factors and pathological manifestations characteristic of this organ and this condition. However, there are common mechanisms underlying many fibrous pathologies. This gives potential value to studies focused on specific processes, among which is the adhesive process in the abdominal cavity. The study of growth factors in the formation of connective tissue contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenetic picture in this pathology. It is shown that vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor, platelet growth factor, insulin-like growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor participate in the development of abdominal adhesions. Each of these factors contributes significantly to the formation of peritoneal fibrosis.Thus, damage to any tissue initiates a complex multistage process, which is regulated by a large number of cytokines and growth factors. Growth factors control cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. In addition, they are able to influence the expression of other factors involved in the regenerative response. Understanding the process that develops during the formation of the adhesive process in the abdominal cavity and the growth factors affecting it is important for their further use in order to prevent the pathological process.

Intaking antithrombotic funds (ATA) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one of the most frequent causes of pathology in gastrointestinal (GI) tract.The purpose of the study: comparison of pathological changes of the mucous membrane in the upper GI tract, that occur against the background of ATA and NSAIDs admission.Material and methods. Endoscopic data of two groups of patients taking ATA and NSAIDS have been compared. The first group of 448 patients from the 10th Gastrointestinal Department in N.N. Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital was on record from 2013 to 2017. The patients had erosive ulcerous changes of gastrointestinal mucosa, occurred against the background of the ATA admission. The second group comprised 6431 patients with rheumatic diseases. They were hospitalized in the clinic of V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology in the period from 2007 to 2016 and took NSAIDs regularly.Results. Duodenal and gastric ulcer changes in gastric mucosa and duodenal ulcers were identified in 168 (37.5 %) patients taking ATA and in 1691 (26.3 %) patient treated with NSAIDS. Structure of pathology varied. So, against the background of ATA and NSAIDS admission, the number of acute gastric ulceration amounted to 6.5 % and 15.5 % (p < 0.001); acute ulcers duodenal was 2.9 % and 4.9 %; combined ulcerative lesions of gastric and duodenal was 2.9 % and 2.0 %; multiple erosions of gastroduodenal mucosa were 52.4 % and 15.7 % (p < 0.001); single erosion was 35. 1% and 61.6 %. The factor of ulcer history and age ≥ 65 years old increased significantly the risk of duodenal and gastric ulcer changes in patients taking ATA and NSAIDs: OR 5.182 (95% CI 2.701–9.942) and 3.24 (95% CI 2.19–5.34), 4.537 (95% CI 2.036–10.11) and 2.016 (95% CI 1.230–2.917) respectively. Intaking of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) reduced significantly the risk of complications for both ATA and NSAIDs: OR 0.329 (95% CI 0.199–0.546) and 0.317 (95% CI 0.210–0.428) respectively.Conclusion. The structure of pathology of mucous in the upper gastrointestinal tract that arose against the backdrop of ATA and NSAIDs admission is different. The first is characterized by a multiple erosion, while the second one has single acute distal gastric ulcers. The ulcerative history and advanced age of patients increase significantly the risk of complications concerning the gastroduodenal mucosa when using ATA and NSAIDs. PPI is the effective means of preventing this pathology.

The aim of the research was to analyze the effectiveness of empirical therapy in patients with established complicated upper urinary tract infection (complicated pyelonephritis).Materials and methods. 51 patients who were treated in 2018 in the urological department of the Irkutsk City Clinical Hospital N 1 were subjected to a retrospective study. The average age of patients was 55.9 ± 16.9 years.Results. Successful empirical therapy was considered in the absence of correction of the treatment regimen and the normalization of clinical blood and urine tests. Of the patients included in the study, successful empirical therapy was found in 24 (47%) patients, and required correction in 27 (52.9 %) patients. Cephalosporins as monotherapy were ineffective in 24 (57.1 %) patients, carbopenems – in one (25 %), fluoroquinolones – in all (100 %). Aminoglycosides showed the best result as a combination therapy with cephalosporins – 100 % (n = 3) of success. Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was established that the detection of microhematuria and uremia in clinical analyzes upon admission to the hospital increases the likelihood of empirical monotherapy with third-generation cephalosporins by 20 % and 27 %, respectively.Conclusion. It is advisable to refrain from the use of monotherapy with fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins until more information is available about the resistance of uropathogens in the population of the Irkutsk region. Patients with impaired renal function require particularly close attention of the clinician when choosing a scheme for the empirical treatment of complicated pyelonephritis.

Published: November 2019

Background. Management of the reparative process is an urgent task of modern medicine. In our opinion, the development of pathogenetically grounded approaches to optimizing the repair process for managing the interrelations of stromal cells is promising. One of the promising areas in this regard is the impact on the MAPK-cascades.Aim: to study the expression of MAP-kinase mechanisms in the regulation of repair by the example of a musculocutaneous wound.Methods. A linear muscular skin wound was modeled using Wistar rats weighing 220–250 g at the age of 9 months (n = 24). Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the activity of p38, JNK, and ERK MAPK cascades from 1 to 30 days.Results. It was established that specific staining in the area of connective tissue formation during staining with p38 MAPK and its phosphorylated form was first observed on the 3rd day, and its maximum severity occurred at the same time. On the 7th and 14th day, small zones in the area of scar formation were minimally stained. The phosphorylated part of the JNK-cascade in the zone of traumatic injury was detected starting from the 1st day after the injury. Bright color persisted on the 3rd day. On the 7th day, the color was minimal, and by the 14th day a second wave of expression was observed. ERK-staining was observed from the 1st to the 14th day with a peak activity on the 3rd day.Conclusion. Thus, we revealed the simultaneous involvement of p38, JNK-, and ERK-cascades in the regulation of the reparative process in the conditions of a musculoskeletal wound. At the same time, it is noteworthy that the peak activity of all cascades coincides and falls on the 3rd day.

При этом заболевамость как с впервые в жизни установленным диагнозом, так и общая продолжает расти. Смертность хотя и снижается с течением времени, но медленнее, чем в целом по стране, поэтому за семь лет отставание от общероссийских показателей увеличилось с 14,8 до 17,25%. В структуре смертности отмечается повышенное (относительно РФ в целом) влияние внешних причин, таких как убийства, самоубийства, отравления суррогатами алкоголя и др. Несмотря на существенное снижение числа смертельных несчастных случаев на производстве (на 1000 человек), по этому показателю СФО опережают лишь Дальневосточный и Приволжский федеральные округа.</span>

Propondo novas alternativas para a superação da dormência de sementes de espécies florestais nativas, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do uso do calor seco na emergência de sementes de Enterolobium contortisiliquum. O trabalho foi conduzido na casa de vegetação da Unidade Acadêmica Especializada em Ciências Agrárias (UAECIA), durante o mês de novembro de 2016. Os frutos foram obtidos de matrizes, localizadas no município de Macaíba – RN e foram beneficiados manualmente. As sementes foram acondicionadas em papel alumínio e conduzidas a estufa com circulação forçada de ar, apresentando temperatura igual a 60° C, durante diferentes períodos de tempo (5, 10, 15 e 20 min). Posteriormente, as sementes foram conduzidas a casa de vegetação e colocadas para emergir em bandejas de plástico, contento areia lavada e foram irrigadas diariamente. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado. A escarificação mecânica e a exposição das sementes durante 5 minutos ao calor seco, mostraram-se como os métodos mais eficientes para a superação da dormência tegumentar. A exposição de sementes de Enterolobium contortisiliquum ao calor seco, é uma alternativa viável para melhoria do seu poder germinativo, sendo necessário o aprimoramento do tempo de permanência em estufa e da temperatura adequada.
