Stagel, E. (2019). <i>Lives of the nuns of Töss</i>. Ed. by M. Reutin. Moscow: Ladomir, Nauka. (In Russ.)
Authors: Popova O. V. 
Published: December 2020

The book comprises manuscripts written by female mystics in Middle High German and Latin in the 1200s–1300s. The works are created in the genres of sister-books, revelations, Gnaden-vita (‘blessed lives’), and private epistles. In the comments to the collection, its translator and compiler examines various aspects of the origin and existence of medieval mysticism, reconstructing its historical and cultural context, and explores everyday behaviour and distinctive psychological traits of Dominican nuns and the Beguines. Based on the stylistic and verbal characteristics of the works, the scholar reveals the meaning of the metaphors employed and considers the utilized text-generation models and their connection with behavioural ones. This method appears highly relevant in the light of contemporary research into the performative character of medieval culture.

Published: December 2020

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease in which the kidney’s functionality declines gradually. The aim of this study was to identify significant laboratory prognostic factors on death due to CKD in a clinical complex. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study including 109 patients with the end-stage renal disease treated at Iran Helal pharmaceutical and the clinical complex was conducted between 2014-2018. The survival time was set as the time interval between starting dialysis until death due to CKD. Also, the transplantation was considered as competing risk, which was occurred for a few patients. A three-parameter Gompertz model was used that considers both the event of interest and the competing event simultaneously. Results: Death due to CKD occurred in 29 (26.6%) of the patients and 19(17.4%) with transplantation. Serum uric acid was a significant prognostic factor that decreased the hazard of mortality by 21%. Serum phosphorus and age by increasing the risk of death, were poor prognoses for the event of interest. Serum uric acid and phosphorus 6.9-9.9 (mg/dl) were associated with 72% and 4.05-fold increased hazard of transplant, respectively. The 4-year cumulative incidence of death and transplant was 48.4% and 29.2%, respectively. Conclusion: We have deduced that high serum phosphorus levels and increased levels of age were associated with worse outcomes. High serum uric acid level was related to better survival, which could be explained by having a better protein-rich diet alongside the high albumin level. [GMJ.2020;9:e1798]
War as a separate and independent factor for rise in COVID-19 cases and death: how to use vitamins, and other bioactive compounds in the absence of vaccine
Authors: Martirosyan Danik , Gilbert Katelynn , Pitts Benjamin , Allen Autumn 
Published: December 2020

Background: COVID-19 is recognized as an acute upper respiratory disease. As the current COVID-19 pandemic nears the anticipated second wave of cases, many countries are struggling with tactics on how to limit the spread of the virus. With the emergence of conflict in the Artsakh region in late September, there has been a sharp rise in COVID cases both in this region and in surrounding countries that appears to be dissimilar from global transmission rates. This trend indicates that war could be acting as an independent and separate factor to COVID-19 spread in this area. With vaccines still in development, alternative methods of curbing the disease and its symptoms are of the utmost importance.Methods: This article examines the historical context of war as a contributing factor in the spread of disease as well as the history of the Artsakh region. Comparing data gathered from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the conflicting region to case counts and death rates in neighboring countries and globally will reveal how transmission rates in this area may be different than others. A review of published literature on functional food ingredients to combat COVID-19 will also be used to frame guidelines and recommendations to reduce the spread of the virus.Results and Conclusions: Based on data from the WHO on the Artsakh region, war appears to act as a separate and independent factor in COVID-19 transmission rates. To control the spread of COVID-19, it is important to eliminate war as a transmission factor by encouraging a ceasefire in areas of conflict and using materials and guidelines from the FFC to help control further spread. FFC guidelines include the use of functional food ingredients to mitigate intestinal and respiratory symptoms, while still promoting social distancing and the use of masks.Keywords: COVID-19, Artsakh region, war, WHO, functional food, bioactive compound, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, folate, iron, selenium, copper

Authors: Tsao Liqun 
Published: December 2020

Translation is a bridge that leads different language speakers to understand each other. Translation of literature works, particularly those with large numbers of cultural elements, is the concern of translatology and many researchers. The Chinese classic novel Hong Lou Meng is right the case. This paper compares some cases in the address term translation in two different versions of translation, namely Yang Xianyi’s and David Hawks’, and tries to analyze them in combination with Lawrence Venuti’s theory of domestication and foreignization.
Slaying the Monsters of Racism: A Geertzian Reading of Night of the Living Dead
Authors: Chen Mengxi 
Published: December 2020

Religion and culture are interact with each other, and by the definition of Clifford Geertz, rituals can be expressed by quite a lot of ways in art. No one can doubt that in our world we are surrounded by religious symbols, which represent themselves via paintings, musics and movies. In this article, the author wants to elaborate how the horror movie, this unique movie genre, worked in illustrate social issues of civil rights movements of 1960s. In Night of the Living Dead, the zombies represent the middle class racism and the complacency about racism, which are indifferent and bloodthirsty. The dynamic process of killing the zombies presents the rituals of the U.S. that the heroes always conquer the evil. On the other hand, the evil always stands for the shortcoming of humans. The fighting between the righteous and the evil never stops.

Published: December 2020

Purpose — To explore the differences in clinical characteristics of the first and second generation cases of COVID-19. Methods — 63 patients with COVID-19 and asymptomatic infections admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Wuhu City and the Fourth People's Hospital of Ma'anshan City from January 24, 2020 to March 3, 2020 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the first and second generation case groups according to the history of epidemiology, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Results — There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in gender, age, and number of smokers (P>0.05). In the first generation group, the number of people with underlying diseases was lower than that in the second generation group (86.80%, 92.00%), and the number of patients of severe or critical type was higher than that in the second generation group (18.40%, 0.00%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The symptoms of the two groups were compared: fever (84.20%, 64.00%), cough (78.9%, 40.00%), chest tightness (44.70%, 12.00%), nausea (2.60%, 36.00%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The distribution of lesions in the two groups was compared: bilateral lung lesions (77.80%, 66.70%), unilateral lesions (17.80%, 5.50%), and no lesions (4.40%, 27.80%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in laboratory tests (P>0.05). Conclusions — Compared with the first generation cases, the second generation cases have different degrees of relief in clinical classification, lower respiratory symptoms and the number of lung lesions; the differentiation of the transmission generation has a certain reference value for the evaluation of the disease condition.
What Is Meaning: Reference or Something Else?
Authors: Zhao Xinyu 
Published: December 2020

The debate over the meaning of referential terms has a long history in both linguistics and language philosophy. Moore applied referential theory of meaning in two famous arguments: The Refutation of Idealism and The Open Question Argument. The validity of referential theory is key point to decide whether these two arguments are successful or not. This paper argues that the plausibility of referential theory is subject to controversy and thus the conclusions of these two arguments are logically invalid. This research firstly demonstrates the logic behind Moore’s two arguments and explain how Moore reached his conclusions by assuming the referential theory of meaning, then discusses problems that referentialism inevitably confronts, proving the solutions that Moore proposed to solve these problems are unfeasible, and concludes that these arguments fail for it doesn’t comply with our rational intuition, providing linguistic perspective to examine philosophical problems.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Leptospirosis remains one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases in the world and Ukraine, in particular. Ukrainian clinicians have been faced with early detection of the disease due to the availability of only a serological method for routine diagnostics in Ukraine, namely the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). This paper demonstrates the first results of the complex application of MAT and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for routine verification of leptospirosis, which were first applied simultaneously in Lviv Oblast of Ukraine in 2016. We examined the sera of 150 patients clinically suspected of leptospirosis, 31 of whom were treated at the Lviv Oblast Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases (LOCHID). The application of PCR during the first seven days of the disease allowed increasing the share of confirmed leptospirosis cases by 16,1% in patients that were treated in LOCHID during 2016–2017.
Особливості персонального конструювання мережі соціальної підтримки в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19
Authors: Larina Tetiana 
Published: December 2020

Метою статті є визначення специфіки конструювання соціальної підтримки в системі міжособистісного спілкування в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.
Для вирішення дослідницьких завдань було застосовано метод моделювання комунікативних світів (ММКС), запропонований В. Кабріним. На його основі розроблено емпіричні показники конструювання саногенного комунікативного простору особистості в умовах пандемії та створено опитувальник визначення динамічних та психосемантичних характеристик комунікативно-ментального світу особистості в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.
Алгоритм обробки результатів дослідження полягав у виявленні провідних тенденцій щодо вектора переживань опитуваних (невербальні показники комунікативного стресу) та подальшому контент-аналізі вербальних показників комунікативного простору. Отримані результати дослідження показали, що позитивні і негативні переживання респондентів під час карантину є досить врівноваженими.
Це може свідчити про загалом задовільну стійкість до комунікативного стресу та керованість комунікативними ризиками.
Стійкість до комунікативному стресу може бути зумовлена необхідністю опановувати нові форми праці, навчання, організації дозвілля та саморозвитку
. Зануреність у саморозвиток та опанування дистанційних форм праці й навчання може також давати особистості час, необхідний для рефлексії та вироблення критичного ставлення до таких ризкогенних тем, як втрата здоров’я, страхи щодо пандемії, карантинні обмеження та фінансові проблеми. Визначено мережу соціальної підтримки, найближче коло підтримки досліджуваних: діти, партнери і подружжя, друзі та приятелі.
Висловлено думку, що друзі та приятелі виконують об’єднувальну роль, поєднуючи мікро- і макроструктури міжособистісних відносин у складних життєвих ситуаціях.
Встановлено, що онлайн-простір сприймається респондентами як певна «реальна локація» для організації міжособистісного спілкування.
До обмежень дослідження можна віднести те, що переважна частина вибірки складалася з працівників освіти (29,8%) та психологів (28%), які є представниками допомагальних професій. (Отже, отримані результати відображають тенденції конструювання мережі соціальної підтримки в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19 саме серед представників зазначених професій).
Як напрям подальших досліджень виокремлено вивчення значущості впливу професійної діяльності на особливості конструювання комунікативного простору в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.

Authors: Santos do Nascimento Karina , Da Silva Ivanilso Santos 
Published: December 2020

Resumo
Este presente artigo propõe analisar a evasão dos jovens frente às ações do conselho escolar e para isto realizamos um estudo de caso em uma escola da rede municipal do Recife. O conselho escolar como um instrumento de gestão democrática, faz parte do coletivo da instituição de ensino, vivenciando várias situações, inclusive a evasão dos jovens. Esse órgão colegiado é composto por membros de todos os segmentos da escola, sendo seus encaminhamentos reflexos de decisões coletivas. A pesquisa se utilizou da abordagem qualitativa, a coleta de dados foram através de observações na rotina e entrevista semiestruturada com representantes do colegiado e da comunidade escolar. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2004). O resultado apontou que o conselho escolar possui sua funcionabilidade fragilizada, pois falta um maior engajamento dos seus membros, principalmente no que se refere às tomadas de decisões coletivamente, que visem priorizar o que é essencial ao bom andamento da escola.

The Hill and the Asphalt: A 50-year perspective on informality in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Perlman Janice 
Published: December 2020

This article argues that informality is essential to urban vitality and that the ability of the formal sector to function depends upon the labour, consumer strength, social resilience, and intellectual capital of the people considered marginal. Based on the author’s 50 years of original fieldwork in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, she takes exception to the much-touted goal of ‘Cities without Slums’, contending that cities without slums are cities without soul. What should be eradicated is not informality, but poverty, inequality, and exclusion. Her research findings reveal what has changed in the case of Rio’s favelas, by following hundreds of families over four generations. She chronicles the evolution of favela policy from hostile to hopeful and back again – with the return of favela removal and the sabotaging of promising upgrading, public safety, and social projects. The result of policies over the last 20 years has been to increase spatial and socio-economic segregation, which in turn, has increased lethal violence. This trend has made vulnerability a chronic condition in informal communities in the south and precarious neighbourhoods in the north, eroding a sense of security and of self. The chapter concludes with the provocation to go beyond territorial place-based thinking to poverty-based remediation and rights-based approaches including the right to the city and the universal right to dignity for all.
