Tradycja bizantyjska i jej wpływ na kulturę rosyjską w myśli Konstantina Leontjewa
Authors: Bala Maciej 
Published: September 2018

The present article amounts to an attempt to analyze the Byzantine tradition in the work Byzantinism and the Slavs by Konstantin Leontiev. The thinker finds the heritage of Eastern Christianity an immanent part of the Russian national identity. Moreover, the philosopher defines Byzantinism as a type of culture with centralized power in the hands of the Romanovs. Consequently, Leontiev depicts particular stages of the evolution of this power model in Russia. The author of the paper concludes that the thinker’s considerations are centered on the emphasis on the role of monarchy in contemporary Russia rather than on its Byzantine roots.
Kobiety radzieckiego samizdatu we współczesnej kulturze rosyjskiej — skomplikowane drogi feministek drugiej fali
Authors: Mendrela Karolina 
Published: September 2018

The article aims to reconstruct the history of women who created female Soviet samizdat Woman and Russia and magazine Maria. They are examples of a postsoviet woman who needs to find a place for herself in the new Russian reality after the fall of the Eastern Block. Despite her experience in dissident activity she cannot find her place in the new women`s movement in Russia. The Russian women’s movement in 90’s had two main sources: women organizations originating from the Soviet times and the Russian feminist research institutes, which were cooperating with Western feminist organizations. Despite big popularity of women`s organization in the beginning nowadays Russia has got a problem with poor social and political activity of Russian women. The author of the article indicates several reasons for such a situation.
Media w Rosji a wojna informacyjna. Analiza zjawiska na przykładzie programu „Wiesti o 20:00” w czasie konfliktu wojennego na wschodzie Ukrainy
Authors: Onishechko Yaryna 
Published: September 2018

The purpose of this paper is to discuss issues related to the use of media as a tool of information warfare: analysis of randomly selected episodes of the Russia-1 headline news show in terms of publications related to the conflict in the eastern Ukraine. Russia was selected, because of the fact that its mass media for many years have been engaged in shaping anti Ukrainian attitudes not only within their own country but also abroad. The importance of information has changed. Some time ago, it was a tool supporting the implementation of active military operations, but now it could be used as a main force, which sets the direction and determines the effects of the war. This paper attempts to answer the question of what role the Russian state television plays in conducting information warfare against Ukraine, supporting military operations in the east of the country. The object of the study was the Russian state television, namely the headline news show, summarizing the day called “Vesti at 20:00” in the period from 14 July 2014 until 14 May 2015.
Гонения на генетику в русской прозе второй половины XX века
Authors: Попович Наталья 
Published: September 2018

Lysenkoism was a political campaign against genetics and science-based agriculture conducted by Trofim Lysenko, his followers and Soviet authorities. Many books on this theme were forbidden in Russia and published abroad. Novel The White Robes by Dudintsev is a fictionalized version of the devastation, which Lysenko wreaked on Soviet genetic study. Novels Nikolai Nikolaevich by Aleshkovsky and The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin by Voinovich describe the topic in a satirical style. The actuality of the theme is confirmed by its presence in Russian mass media in the form of materials aimed at justifying Lysenko's activity in the recent years.
Сакрализация обыденности в рассказе Андрея Битова „Летучий голландец”
Authors: Radosz Joanna 
Published: September 2018

The Flying Dutchman (Letuchiy Gollandets) from the collection Wheel (Koleso) belongs to the forgotten part of Andrei Bitov’s memoir-like prose. This short story stands as an epitaph for a Soviet speedway rider Gennadiy Vyunov. In his story, Bitov adds some sacred value to both speedway and the particular rider, until the sport becomes a supernatural phenomenon. The given article aims at analyzing the story and the means used to conduct the sacralization process on various levels: the plot, the language, the complex of intertextual relations, and therefore, presenting the unknown side of the well-known author of Pushkin House.
Факторы влияния чеховского текста на пьесы Александра Марданя „Антракт” и „Аншлаг” (отказ от власти прецедент¬ных текстов или возвращение к ним?)
Authors: Sibirnaya Maria 
Published: September 2018

This research is dedicated to the issue of the classical drama reception, which is supposed to be canonical, used in the play of Odessian playwright Alexandr Mardan. The concept of modern times appears in Mardan’s plays through the literary and cultural inheritance of the past. The usage of Chekhov’s motives in both plays we deal with — Antract and Anshlag seems not only to resemble the form used in the mass culture, but also stylization and reinterpretation of the classic, which appear here as modern literary devices through which the interpretation of canonical drama occurs. In both plays one can observe a lack of presentation of classical motives in a modern, revolutionary form, there is no retrieval to the precedent writings with the final idea of elaborating on Chekhov thoughts. Furthermore, the classical motives are used for the reinterpretation of how theater may influence the modern human being and how endless the attempts to interpret the classic are.
Публицистика Владимира Короленко
Authors: Bortnowski Antoni 
Published: September 2018

Journalism takes a very important place in the works of Vladimir Korolenko. The writer witnessed historic changes in Russia of the late 19th — early 20th century and in his many works included a great number of valuable comments and insightful analysis of the processes taking place on the territory of the decaying Russian Empire. The last years of the writer's life coincided with a period of formation of the Soviet authority, which Korolenko did not accept. This fact was often overlooked or ignored in the Soviet critical works on the writer and only after the collapse of the USSR it was possible to conduct an overall analysis of Korolenko’s rich heritage. Many of his articles containing insights into the Russian reality can be applied to modern times.
Problem obcości: opozycja Rosja–Europa w kulturze rosyjskiej (XI–XIX w.)
Authors: Jedliński Marek 
Published: September 2018

The article analyzes the historical perspective of the formation of the opposition “friend or foe” in the Russian culture from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Binary thinking has a universal dimension: it is present in every culture, particularly in traditional societies (in this case it is the opposition Russia–Europe). Hostility towards strangers is already noticeable in the Ruthenian tribes. The outsiders were seen as savages, as animals, and even as evil forces. It relates to the perception of the symbolic center of the world. It is recognizable in the work of Hilarion and the concept of Moscow as the Third Rome.
„Гамлет. Версия” Бориса Акунина как отказ от регламентации шекспировского интертекста
Authors: Kiseleva Kristina 
Published: September 2018

The present article aims at analyzing one of the modern drama's strategies — playing with a classical text. Boris Akunin's Hamlet. Version, which is at the core of my interests, is comparable to such famed Hamlet’s alterations as Tom Stoppard's Rosenkrantz and Guilderstern Are Dead. The uniqueness of Akunin's work lays in building the individual strategy, while taking into the mass recipient consideration. The forecast is not comforting — consumers are getting less and less sensitive and adequately formed to perceive art. But one cannot say that Akunin is descending to his readers narrow horizons. He is a mediator between highbrow and lowbrow, always beyond, never belonging to any category.
New records from the southern North Sea and first records from the Baltic Sea of Kornmannia leptoderma
Authors: Weinberger Florian , Steinhagen Sophie , Afanasyev Dmitry F. , Karez Rolf 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Combined genetic, morphological and ontogenetic observations show that the circumarctic boreal green algal macrophyte Kornmannia leptoderma has expanded its distribution range into the Baltic Sea, on a German coastal section of 220 km length. The species is also again (or still) established at its former extreme southern distribution limit in the North Sea, the German island of Helgoland, where it has not been detected during the last four decades. Macroscopic visible sporophytes of K. leptoderma are nowadays present in the Baltic Sea and at Helgoland from February to September, while they were in the past only detected from February to May at Helgoland. This capacity for formation of sporophytes in summer correlates with the circumstance that K. leptoderma from the Baltic Sea can complete its life cycle at 15°C while several studies conducted decades ago with material from Helgoland and from Pacific coasts consistently reported an inhibition of the algal gametogenesis at temperatures that exceed 12°C. Possibly K. leptoderma has undergone adaptations that facilitate its spread into warmer environments, unless the Kornmannia present in the Baltic Sea and on Helgoland today represents a newly introduced cryptic species.
Kaiser Julians Heerespolitik und das Mönchtum
Authors: Brendel Raphael 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The information in letters 3.61 and 3.64 of Pope Gregory the Great that Emperor Julian had released a law, according to which soldiers were not allowed to become monks, is a confusion with Valens who is accredited to have forced the monks by law to do military service. This hypothesis is based on the church historians’ reports that Julian wanted to remove the Christians from his army by conversion and dismissal, and on the fact that Julian and Valens are parallelised by Theophanes and other Byzantine texts.
An unpublished poem on Porphyry
Authors: Tomadaki Maria 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
This paper offers an editio princeps, an English translation and a commentary of an interesting epigram on Porphyry, the commentator of Aristotle. The epigram was transcribed in Vat. Reg. 166 by Ioannes Malaxos (16th c.) and is ascribed to Petros Servilos, a poet unknown from other sources. The paper discusses the poem’s manuscript context, as well as its authorship, genre, content and function. Further, it attempts to shed light on the poem’s relation to Porphyry’s philosophy and his reception in Byzantine poetry.
Scaling the text: the ambiguity of the book in John Climacus
Authors: Torrance Alexis 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The literary sophistication of John Climacus has been the subject of recent scholarly discussion, and forms part of a larger trend that seeks to recover the pivotal importance of paideia in early Byzantine monasticism. In dialogue with this ongoing interest in text and book culture, the present article outlines John Climacus’ nuanced position on the matter of sacred text. In Climacus’ oeuvre we discover a tension between his reverence for sacred text, which includes the written word’s role in bringing about spiritual health, and the need to recognize all text and every book, however holy, as something ultimately dispensable in light of the ascetic ideal. The setting aside of holy texts, however, does not indicate the superfluity of these texts for Climacus so much as the need to transpose them from the dead and external letter of the page to the living and embodied book of the heart.

Published: September 2018

Abstract
Different complex physiological functions might be restored by means of distributed active implants. Wireless communication between the implants, on the one hand, and an external control unit, on the other hand, is necessary to synchronize electrical stimulation of neural and muscular tissue. Seventeen project partners from industries, universities, healthcare providers and research organizations closely cooperate in the framework of the BMBF Innovation Cluster “Interactive Implants (INTAKT)”. The goal of this cluster is to develop and evaluate networks of distributed implants. Challenges of the project include complex interaction between humans and technology, wireless power supply, long-term stability of implants as well as secure and safe signal transmission [1].
Electrical stimulation with motility analysis of five parts of the gastrointestinal tract
Authors: Schiemer Jonas F. , Heimann Axel , Somerlik-Fuchs Karin , Ruff Roman , Hoffmann Klaus-Peter , Baumgart Jan , Kneist Werner 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders are frequent and clinically significant conditions with impairment of patient’s quality of life. Examples range from upper GI symptoms such as dysphagia and gastroparesis to lower GI manifestations, namely chronic-intestinal pseudo obstruction, diarrhea and constipation. Furthermore, postoperative motility disorders are common. Currently, available pharmacological or dietetic treatment options are limited. Since GI motility is based on myoelectric activity, electrical stimulation (ES) is a promising alternative. Numerous studies have demonstrated suitable pacing strategies and parameters in different GI segments. However, results of multilocular ES are rare. We report the first experimental study to evaluate ES of five GI parts in a porcine model. Multi-channel electromyography (EMG) recordings of gastrointestinal baseline and poststimulatory electrical activity were realized together with video-based marker tracking (VBMT). ES provoked visible GI contractions and appeared to modulate frequencies of slow waves and spikes. Further investigations are needed for analysis of locoregional and cross-organ effects of ES on the GI tract.
Application of Iterative Learning Control for Repetitive Processes in Breathing Therapy
Authors: Scheel Mathias , Berndt Andreas , Simanski Olaf 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is the gold standard to treat the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome. This continuous pressure splints the upper respiratory tracts and prevents a collapse of the pharynx. If not being treated a collapse of the upper respiratory tracts reduces the blood oxygen concentration and increases the CO2 concentration leading to repeated sleep disruptions. Many CPAP-devices cannot maintain the reference pressure, which can lead to an uncomfortable perception for the patient. To reduce the pressure deviation in the mask we want to apply the Iterative Learning Control (ILC) method, because the breathing of the patient is a repetitive process - and at night the breathing patterns are even and recurring from breath to breath.
Application of thermography for cerebral perfusion imaging during aneurysm surgery

Published: September 2018

Abstract
The success of aneurysm surgery depends on complete clipping of the aneurysmal sacculation without compromising quality of cerebral perfusion of vessels concerned. An established intraoperative method to visualize cerebral blood flow i n a pparent v essels i s fl uorescence vi deo angiography based on indocyanine green (ICG). However, major disadvantages of indocyanine green video angiography (ICG VA) are the need of a specialized imaging system, potential drug side effects as well as the limited number of repetitions due to long decay time of ICG in blood circulation. In particular the last drawback prevents brain parenchymal perfusion monitoring with ICG VA. The application of time-resolved thermography as a fast, contactless, noninvasive, marker-free and harmless imaging tool became a promising approach for perfusion imaging and thus offers several advantages compared to ICG. Measurements of deep structures in heat traps for identification of i nternal patterns, e ssential f or e .g. s uccess monitoring of aneurysm clipping, are still unsolved challenges of thermography. This work reveals as a proof of concept that the combination of thermography and an intravenous cold saline bolus injection as a contrast agent is capable to detect arterial and parenchymal perfusion located in the surgical cavity during aneurysm surgery in comparison to state-of-the-art ICG VA. The investigations provide evidence that thermography has the capability to perform intraoperative imaging of cerebral perfusion at an advanced stage in surgery for vessels and parenchyma located both cortically and in the surgical cavity.
Comparison of two biological aortic valve prostheses inside patient-specific aorta model by bi-directional fluid-structure interaction

Published: September 2018

Abstract
In Germany in 2016 17,085 patients received TAVI operations and 9,579 had conventional aortic valve surgery. The ‘Heart Team’ uses established scoring systems (EuroSCORE, STS, German AV Score) to evaluate operation risks and which technique to use. However, such risk grading fails to consider patient morphology and possible long-term behavior of the replacement valve chosen. Therefore, preoperative simulation of the dynamic loading on the valve leaflets after TAVR provides information vital for the selection of the appropriate aortic valve therapy - interventional versus conventional. Individual aorta used in this study was captured by MRI. Segmentation and data processing were done with Mimic In-novation Suite. The available biological aortic valves prostheses were reverse engineered to create a 3D CAD model. Simulations combined bi-directional fluid structure interaction (FSI) with a first order Ogden model of the hyperelastic behavior of aortic leaflets from bovine pericardium. Movements induced by flow and the resultant tension on the biological leaflets were computed with developed simulation model. Stress analyses of the leaflets showed behavior attributable to their particular structure. Both valves showed two stress peaks within the initial 0.3 s. Maximum stress occurred, however, at other time points. Furthermore, the initial increase in stress showed a delayed onset. The patterns of movement were also significantly different. So, at opening of the valve, the freely perfused area of the valve, the freedom of leaflet movement and symmetry at closure were different in the two valves. Simulated movement of valve leaflets corresponds well with reality. The estimated stresses clearly lie below thresholds published in the literature for bovine pericardium. It is planned to further develop the current workflow to increase stability and optimize processing time, with the intention of providing the ‘Heart Team’ with a tool for incorporating individual anatomy when selecting the aortic valves.
Regional analysis of airway abnormalities in cystic fibrosis employing Electrical Impedance Tomography
Authors: Krueger-Ziolek Sabine , Gong Bo , Zimmermann Hanna , Müller-Lisse Ullrich , Möller Knut 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
To estimate the severity of airway abnormalities in cystic fibrosis (CF) Brody et al. developed a computed tomography (CT) scoring system. Each pulmonary lobe is analyzed separately considering various morphological defects. A study from Zhao et al. demonstrates that this CTbased score correlates with regional airway obstruction (RAO) measured by the real-time imaging method Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). Zhao et al. performed EIT measurements at the 5th intercostal space (ICS) and median RAO, including both lungs, was correlated with the associated score. In the present feasibility study, it was investigated if RAO determined by EIT within the left and right lung respectively at the 3rd and 5th ICS corresponds with the scores of the left and right lobes. EIT measurements and CT-based scoring were carried out on two CF patients. RAO was identified by ratios of impedance values associated to the maximal forced expiratory flow at 25% and 75% of the forced vital capacity. Mean RAO of each lung within both thorax sections was compared with the lobar scores. Airway abnormalities within upper lobes are assigned to RAO measured within the 3rd ICS, whereas abnormalities of the right middle lobe, both lower lobes and the lingula are mainly represented by EIT images of the 5th ICS. Results show that differences in the CT-based score between the left and right lung concur with differences in EIT derived RAO. The regional information provided by EIT might be used for a more targeted therapy of CF-related lung diseases.
AAL Functions for Home Care and Security
Authors: Lauterbach Christl , Steinhage Axel , Techmer Axel , Sousa Miguel , Hoffmann Raoul 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
We describe a holistic AAL concept for senior residences that is based on a large-area sensor floor. This system provides general home-automation functions such as light control, intrusion alarm and energy saving. However, advanced homecare features such as activity monitoring, fall detection and the discovery of changes in daily routines assist the resident and support the carer. After explaining the components and general working principle of the system, we describe how these applications are realized in practice. The focus lays on the unobtrusiveness, flexibility and multifunctionality of the solution.

Abstract
Many patients in radiotherapy carry active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) such as pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). The influence of the ionizing radiation can lead to failures in the device function. This study presents a tissue-equivalent test environment to investigate the influence of ionizing radiation on AIMDs. The in-vitro test environment is designed to simulate a human torso. Structures such as the heart, lungs, ribs, spinal column and soft tissue are replicated from tissue-equivalent materials to allow realistic treatment planning and to simulate the effect of ionizing radiation on active implants. CT measurements and Monte-Carlo validations have shown that Polytetrafluorethylen (bone), carrageenan (heart), Styrodur (lung) and Biresin® G27 (soft tissue) fulfill all requirements for suitable tissue surrogates. A plug-in unit integrated in the test environment has been designed specifically to allow the placement AIMDs in the phantom at typical positions for implant placement in humans. The dosimetry validation showed that the test environment is applicable in the full treatment planning process.
