Assen Ignatov: The Theomachist and the God-Seeker

Assen Ignatov: The Theomachist and the God-SeekerThis article aims to trace the evolution of Assen Ignatov’s attitude towards religion and to outline the main features of this change – from an intellectual whose worldview was initially Marxist to being a dissident philosopher known also for his respect for Christianity. The first part of the study is devoted to the early professional stages of Assen Ignatov’s life (as a lecturer at Sofia University), when he attacked the “Bourgeois” philosophy for its affinity to religion. Gradually, these initial attitudes were seriously shaken, partly because he was one of the very few erudite thinkers in Bulgaria during the “socialist” period who witnessed the dogmatism and narrow interests of the Party philosophers. In addition, his escape to Western Europe was a radical break with the past, specifically with regard to religion. Assen Ignatov interpreted communism as a pseudo-religion from the viewpoint of Christian personalism and existentialism. The author concludes that the radical change of Ignatov’s attitude towards religion shows the measure of his general change of worldview. Asen Ignatow – w walce przeciw Bogu i w poszukiwaniu BogaCelem artykułu jest prześledzenie ewolucji stosunku do religii Asena Ignatowa: od intelektualisty, którego światopogląd był początkowo marksistowski, do filozofa-dysydenta, znanego również z jego szacunku dla chrześcijaństwa. W pierwszej części zaprezentowane są początkowe etapy w jego życiu zawodowym, kiedy jako wykładowca na Uniwersytecie w Sofii atakował filozofię burżuazyjną z powodu jej pokrewieństwa z religią. Stopniowo postawy te uległy poważnemu zachwianiu (również dlatego, że był on jednym z niewielu bardzo dobrze wykształconych myślicieli w Bułgarii okresu „socjalistycznego”, który obserwował dogmatyzm i wąskie interesy partyjnych filozofów), a jego ucieczka do Europy Zachodniej oznaczała zerwanie z przeszłością, szczególnie w odniesieniu do religii. Asen Ignatow interpretował komunizm jako pseudoreligię z punktu widzenia chrześcijańskiego personalizmu i egzystencjalizmu. Autorka konkluduje, że radykalny zwrot w postawie Ignatowa wobec religii jest wyrazem głębszych zmian o charakterze światopoglądowym.

Christianity, Mysticism, Infidelity: Ivan Grozev and Nikolay RaуnovThis article follows the personal and artistic relations between two famous Bulgarian poets and mystics, Ivan Grozev and Nikolay Raynov. Before 1944, the lives of both passed under the common sign of Orthodox Christianity, spiritualism, Theosophy, and Freemasonry. A separation took place after 1944, when Raynov rejected all forms of religiosity. At first, their relationship was good, but later it came into sharp conflict. The first words of criticism were spoken by Grozev, concerning Raynov’s translation of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche. The further polemics, on the one hand, had a significant impact on some of the intellectual elite in Bulgaria; on the other hand, they illustrate the changing attitude of both writers to religiosity. The source material is archives, memoirs and autobiographies, which reveal the dialogicality in Bulgarian literature in the first half of the 20th century. Chrześcijaństwo, mistycyzm, niewiara. Iwan Grozew i Nikołaj RajnowArtykuł jest poświęcony osobistym i artystycznym relacjom między dwoma słynnymi bułgarskimi poetami i mistykami, Iwanem Grozewem i Nikołajem Rajnowem. Przed rokiem 1944 życie obu upływa pod wspólnym znakiem kolejno: ortodoksyjnego chrześcijaństwa, spirytyzmu, teozofii i wolnomularstwa. Do rozdziału dochodzi po 1944 roku, kiedy Rajnow odrzuca wszelkie formy religijności. Na początku ich wzajemny stosunek jest pozytywny, ale z czasem dochodzi do ostrych sporów. Pierwsze słowa krytyki wypowiada Grozew. Sprawa dotyczy przekładu Rajnowa Tako rzecze Zaratustra Friedricha Nietzschego. Dalsza polemika z jednej strony ma istotny wpływ na część elit intelektualnych w Bułgarii, z drugiej – ilustruje zmieniający się stosunek obu pisarzy do religijności. Materiał źródłowy stanowią archiwa, wspomnienia i autobiografie. Odsłaniają one dialogiczność w bułgarskiej literaturze w pierwszej połowie XX wieku.

Published: January 2021

AbstractAn objective front detection method is applied to ERA5, CMIP5 historical, and RCP8.5 simulations to evaluate climate model performance in simulating front frequency and to understand future projections of seasonal front activities. The study area is East Asia for two natural seasons, defined as winter (2 December–14 February) and spring (15 February–15 May), in accordance with regional circulation and precipitation patterns. Seasonal means of atmospheric circulation and thermal structures are analyzed to understand possible factors responsible for future front changes. The front location and frequency in CMIP5 historical simulations are captured reasonably. Frontal precipitation accounts for more than 30% of total precipitation over subtropical regions. Projections suggest that winter fronts will decrease over East Asia, especially over southern China. Frontal precipitation is projected to decrease for 10%–30%. Front frequency increases in the South China Sea and tropical western Pacific because of more tropical moisture supply, which enhances local moisture contrasts. During spring, southern China and Taiwan will experience fewer fronts and less frontal precipitation while central China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan may experience more fronts and more frontal precipitation due to moisture flux from the south that enhances wet-bulb potential temperature θw gradients. Consensus among CMIP5 models in front frequency tendency is evaluated. The models exhibit relatively high consensus in the decreasing trend over polar and subtropical frontal zone in winter and over southern China and Taiwan in spring that may prolong the dry season. Spring front activities are crucial for water resource and risk management in the southern China and Taiwan.
Wind-Driven Oscillations in Meridional Overturning Circulations near the Equator. Part II: Idealized Simulations

Published: January 2021

AbstractLarge-amplitude [±100 Sv (1 Sv ≡ 106 m3 s−1)], high-frequency oscillations in the Pacific Ocean’s meridional overturning circulation within 10° of the equator have been found in integrations of the NEMO ocean general circulation model. Part I of this paper showed that these oscillations are dominated by two bands of frequencies with periods close to 4 and 10 days and that they are driven by the winds within about 10° of the equator. This part shows that the oscillations can be well simulated by small-amplitude, wind-driven motions on a horizontally uniform, stably stratified state of rest. Its main novelty is that, by focusing on the zonally integrated linearized equations, it presents solutions for the motions in a basin with sloping side boundaries. The solutions are found using vertical normal modes and equatorial meridional modes representing Yanai and inertia–gravity waves. Simulations of 16-day-long segments of the time series for the Pacific of each of the first three meridional and vertical modes (nine modes in all) capture between 85% and 95% of the variance of matching time series segments diagnosed from the NEMO integrations. The best agreement is obtained by driving the solutions with the full wind forcing and the full pressure forces on the bathymetry. Similar results are obtained for the corresponding modes in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Slower variations in the same meridional and vertical modes of the MOC are also shown to be well simulated by a quasi-stationary solution driven by zonal wind and pressure forces.

AbstractThe Epsilometer (“epsi”) is a small (7 cm diameter × 30 cm long), low-power (0.15 W), and extremely modular microstructure package measuring thermal and kinetic energy dissipation rates, χ and ε. Both the shear probes and FP07 temperature sensors are fabricated in house following techniques developed by Michael Gregg at the Applied Physics Laboratory/University of Washington (APL/UW). Sampling eight channels (two shear, two temperature, three-axis accelerometer, and a spare for future sensors) at 24 bit precision and 325 Hz, the system can be deployed in standalone mode (battery power and recording to microSD cards) for deployment on autonomous vehicles, wave powered profilers, or it can be used with dropping body termed the “epsi-fish” for profiling from boats, autonomous surface craft or ships with electric fishing reels or other simple winches. The epsi-fish can also be used in real-time mode with the Scripps “fast CTD” winch for fully streaming, altimeter-equipped, line-powered, rapid-repeating, near-bottom shipboard profiles to 2200 m. Because this winch has a 25 ft (~7.6 m) boom deployable outboard from the ship, contamination by ship wake is reduced one to two orders of magnitude in the upper 10–15 m. The noise floor of ε profiles from the epsi-fish is ~10−10 W kg−1. This paper describes the fabrication, electronics, and characteristics of the system, and documents its performance compared to its predecessor, the APL/UW Modular Microstructure Profiler (MMP).

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of laryngeal pathology found during bedside flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in a community hospital. Methods: A retrospective study among patients who underwent a bedside FEES examination from May 2018 to May 2019. Criteria to perform a bedside FEES exam were patients who were identified through nursing screening swallowing evaluation and failed a bedside clinical evaluation of swallowing by a speech language pathologist. Patient demographics, recent intubation, duration of intubation, dysphonia complaints, laryngeal exam findings, consultation to otolaryngology and intervention were reviewed. Results: Seventy-five patients had an inpatient bedside FEES. All (100%) had subjective complaints of swallowing. 29 (38.66%) had laryngeal pathology identified on FEES examination including unilateral vocal fold immobility (9), fungal infections (6), vocal fold lesion (3), edema (3), erythema (3), vocal process granuloma (2), unilateral TVF Hemorrhage (1), unilateral TVF paresis (1), suspected superior laryngeal nerve palsy (1). Seventeen of the twenty-nine (58.6%) examinations with incidental laryngeal finding received an otolaryngology referral. Twenty-three of the twenty-nine patients with laryngeal findings (79.3%) were intubated during the hospitalization. Conclusion: Bedside FEES is a well-established method to evaluate swallowing function in an inpatient population. Even in a community hospital, routine FEES examinations led to a high rate of detection of clinically significant laryngeal pathology.
Spontaneous Abscess of the Posterior Nasal Septum: An Unusual Cause of Nasal Obstruction in Children
Authors: Berlucchi Marco , Tomasoni Michele , Bosio Roberta , Rampinelli Vittorio 
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Nasal septal abscess is a rare disorder in pediatric patients and is mostly diagnosed as a complication of trauma or secondary to dental or sinonasal infection. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl presented with acute nasal obstruction, otalgia, and headache. Medical history was negative; physical examination and anterior rhinoscopy did not reveal signs of acute rhinosinusitis or septal abscess. Management and Outcome: A thorough nasal endoscopy was performed to rule out a posterior nasal infection, revealing a bilateral posterior septal bulging, in the absence of purulent discharge. CT scan and contrast-enhanced MRI were performed, confirming the diagnosis of a spontaneous posterior septal abscess. Trans-nasal endoscopic-assisted drainage was conducted under general anesthesia. Haemophilus influenzae was detected on culture. Discussion: Although rare, nasal septal abscess in the pediatric age is typically anterior and secondary to local trauma or infection. Accurate medical history and anterior rhinoscopy are usually sufficient to make the diagnosis. In cases where the clinical presentation is consistent with a nasal septal abscess, with no history of recent local trauma or infection, or signs of anterior septal bulging, nasal endoscopy should be performed to rule out spontaneous posterior septal abscess. Delay in diagnosis and treatment could potentially cause the rapid onset of life-threatening complications, including intracranial abscess, meningitis, and cavernous sinus thrombosis.
Does diet play a role in the prevention and management of depression among adolescents? A narrative review
Authors: Chopra Chandni , Mandalika Subhadra , Kinger Narendra 
Published: January 2021

Background: Depression is one of the major causes of illness and disability, while suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst adolescents. Although many factors determine the mental health of an individual, diet has been gaining popularity as a key modifiable factor in the prevention and management of depression. Nutritional Psychiatry is an emerging field where researchers suggest that the food we consume influences our mental well-being. Aim: This review aims to explore the significance of diet, nutrient deficiencies, imbalances, and unhealthy dietary patterns in the prevention and management of unipolar depression or major depressive disorder among adolescents. Methods: Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and MEDLINE were searched using keywords such as “mental health,” “depression,” “adolescents,” “diet,” “dietary pattern,” and pertinent articles ( N = 68) were retrieved and reviewed. Results: The Mediterranean and traditional diets rich in complex carbohydrates, omega-3 fatty acids, B-group vitamins and several amino acids have shown negative correlation with the incidence of depression. On the other hand, Western dietary patterns (sweetened beverages, processed/ junk food, and foods rich in saturated fatty acids), along with low consumption of fruits and vegetables have been linked to an increased risk of depression among adolescents. Conclusion: Dietary modification can prove to be a cost-effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of depression among adolescents. Diet and nutrition need to be recognized as key modifiable targets for the prevention of mental disorders and nutritional medicine should be considered as an integral part of psychiatric treatment.

Published: January 2021

Background: Bone contusions are commonly observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in individuals who have sustained a noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Time from injury to image acquisition affects the ability to visualize these bone contusions, as contusions resolve with time. Purpose: To quantify the number of bone contusions and their locations (lateral tibial plateau [LTP], lateral femoral condyle [LFC], medial tibial plateau [MTP], and medial femoral condyle [MFC]) observed on MRI scans of noncontact ACL-injured knees acquired within 6 weeks of injury. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinic notes, operative notes, and imaging of 136 patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. The following exclusion criteria were applied: MRI scans acquired beyond 6 weeks after injury, contact ACL injury, and previous knee trauma. Fat-suppressed fast spin-echo T2-weighted MRI scans were reviewed by a blinded musculoskeletal radiologist. The number of contusions and their locations (LTP, LFC, MTP, and MFC) were recorded. Results: Contusions were observed in 135 of 136 patients. Eight patients (6%) had 1 contusion, 39 (29%) had 2, 41 (30%) had 3, and 47 (35%) had 4. The most common contusion patterns within each of these groups were 6 (75%) with LTP for 1 contusion, 29 (74%) with LTP/LFC for 2 contusions, 33 (80%) with LTP/LFC/MTP for 3 contusions, and 47 (100%) with LTP/LFC/MTP/MFC for 4 contusions. No sex differences were detected in contusion frequency in the 4 locations ( P > .05). Among the participants, 50 (37%) had medial meniscal tears and 52 (38%) had lateral meniscal tears. Conclusion: The most common contusion patterns observed were 4 locations (LTP/LFC/MTP/MFC) and 3 locations (LTP/LFC/MTP).

Purpose: To evaluate sociodemographic differences in the relationship between state and national anti-smoking media campaigns and cessation behaviors among adult smokers in the U.S. Design: Repeated cross-sectional analysis. Setting: U.S. nationally representative survey of adults ages 18 and older, 2001-2015. Subjects: 76,278 year-ago smokers from the 2001-2015 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey. Measures: Area-level exposure to State-sponsored and “Tips from former smokers” anti-tobacco media campaigns was the primary predictor of this study. Outcome variables included: quit attempt in the past 12 months, past 30-day smoking cessation, and past 90-day smoking cessation among year-ago smokers. Analysis: We conducted modified Poisson regression models to examine the association between media campaign exposure and cessation behaviors. We also examined effect modification on the additive scale by sex, race/ethnicity, income, and education using average marginal effects. Results: Year-ago smokers with greater exposure to media campaigns were more likely to report 30-day (Prevalence Ratio [PR]: 1.18, CI: 1.03, 1.36) and 90-day cessation (PR: 1.18, CI: 1.00, 1.41) compared to respondents with less campaign exposure. We found no evidence of effect modification by sociodemographic variables. Conclusion: Exposure to anti-smoking media campaigns were associated with year-ago smokers’ cessation behaviors. However, there were no differences in the association by sex, race/ethnicity, income, or education, indicating that broadly focused media campaigns may be insufficient to reduce smoking cessation among priority populations, and thus health disparities generally.
Vibration bandgap of a locally resonant beam considering horizontal springs

Published: January 2021

Structural vibrations could seriously affect the working performance and even cause fatal hazards to host structures. To reduce low frequency vibrations, a locally resonant metamaterial beam coupled by horizontal springs is proposed. The dynamic model of the metamaterial beam is established with the finite element method. The frequency response function of the metamaterial beam is derived, and the bandgap of the locally resonant beam is obtained. The effects of the number of locally resonator units, damping, mass, and stiffness of the vertical spring and horizontal spring are analyzed. The results show that with the increase of the number of units, damping ratio, mass, and stiffness, the bandgap changes significantly, resulting in the enhanced vibration suppress performance in the low-frequency region ( f < 200 Hz). The resonator with the horizontal spring is conducive to suppress vibrations of the beam.
Social work indigenization in Mainland China: Towards a state-led decolonizing framework
Authors: Lin Shen (Lamson) 
Published: January 2021

Summary The tension between indigenizing versus internationalizing social work knowledge, resulting from local-specific sensitivity, has been a contemporary dispute in the Global South where there are diverse geo-historical backgrounds. This is the case in China, where the mainstream international narrative surrounding social work development has been configured by the normative values and knowledge of a Euromodern origin. Such misrepresentation rarely reflects indigenous voices from the local social work academy. Informed by Foucault’s thesis of power/knowledge, this article first compares the model of state social work in China and the world. Then, as a decolonizing project, a narrative review of 26 Chinese language articles was conducted. Findings Distinctive service and policy practices in the Chinese traditional helping system were identified to illustrate how western social work was ethnocentrically repositioned in the “post-socialist” China. These initiatives include micro-level “Civil Affairs” services, meso-level “mass work” practice, and macro-level “Minsheng” State and crossregional Pairing Aid Programs, which are rooted in the cultural (Confucianism), economical (socialist market economy), and political (Marxism) ecosystem in China. Applications Through an indigenized epistemological stance, a state-led anti-colonial framework is presented to unveil the making of social work indigenization and social welfare development that de-centers Eurocentric hegemony. To reorient social work knowledge apart from persistent neo-colonialism in the form of academic imperialism, social work development should be tailored into a locally responsive and geopolitically appropriate models in the non-western world.
