“I’ll teach you differences.” A meta-theoretical approach to narrative theory
Authors: Greve Anniken 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The article seeks to explore sameness and difference in narrative theory by way of shifting the emphasis from the narratives themselves to the research acts we perform on narratives. It proposes a model for analyzing research acts. Applying this model to various research acts in narrative theory it shows that what it implies to look for sameness and difference within narratives will vary with the kind of research act in question. Highlighting the difference between research acts that make theoretical claims about groups of narrative and research acts that seeks to explore the meaning of individual narratives, the article is critically geared both towards theories that stress the fiction/non-fiction divide and towards theories that seek to formulate a narrative theory that encompasses narratives of all kinds. It argues for the place in narrative theory of interpretive working procedures that allow us to focus on the individual narrative, in order to grasp its potential contribution to the human conversation.
Aromatherapy reduces fatigue among women with hypothyroidism: A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial
Authors: Hawkins Jessie , Hires Christy Y. , Dunne Elizabeth W. , Keenan Lindsey A. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Background
This randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial identifies the effect of an aromatherapy blend of essential oils on fatigue, which is one of the most commonly unaddressed symptoms of hypothyroidism, by evaluating the effects of daily aromatherapy inhalation.

Methods
Participants included women aged 18–55 with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Women who had a history of thyroid cancer were excluded, due to the confounding effects of cancer on fatigue as the outcome of interest. Participants were randomized into two groups: the aromatherapy group, treated with inhalation of the essential oil blend, and the control group, treated with an odorless vegetable oil blend. The primary outcome was change from baseline in fatigue scores as measured by the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory (MFSI), a validated instrument which measures multiple patterns of fatigue.

Results
After adjusting for baseline scores, no significant difference was found between the aromatherapy group and the control group at midpoint. Both groups experienced a reduction in symptoms during the first week of the intervention. At the endpoint, participants in the aromatherapy group had improved fatigue scores across all ten subscales, as compared to the control group. Not all improvements achieved statistical significance, indicating that the aromatherapy treatment has a greater effect on the subscales of global, affective, and general fatigue.

Conclusions
This is the first study to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy on fatigue among women with hypothyroidism. These findings provide evidence that regular inhalation of an aromatherapy blend may reduce fatigue among women with hypothyroidism, particularly in the areas of global, affective, and general fatigue.
Talking proper vs. talking with an accent: the sociolinguistic divide in original and translated audiovisual dialogue
Authors: Ranzato Irene 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The codification of propriety – talking with a ‘proper’ accent – is recorded in audiovisual texts so that cross-cultural interaction between social groups is not left to verbal dialogue alone but to more or less accurate visual cues and to paralinguistic as well as prosodic information. This chapter will examine scenes from various audiovisual texts, which feature characters speaking with a British received pronunciation – arguably, the ‘proper’ accent – in contrast to those who speak with a variety of British accents. The main purpose of these narratives is the portrayal of a sociolinguistic divide, either to provide a realistic account of problematic or potentially inflammatory culture clashes or as stereotypical means to elicit a humorous response. The problem of transferring information related to such a linguistic and social gap in audiovisual translation has long been recognised as one of the most difficult challenges translators have to deal with. The examples quoted in this article, all related to the dubbing mode of translation, will, however, illustrate how prosodic and suprasegmental features can travel cross-culturally and could be, and sometimes are, taken into account by translators and adapters to maintain the linguistic contrast observed in the originals.
A Change in the Distribution of Accents in Homer in Verses with Trochaic Words Ending in the Fourth Trochee
Authors: Abritta Alejandro 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe goal of this paper is to present an accentual rule for a combination of locations of the Homeric hexameter, the fourth and the sixth metra. The author shows that, when there is a trochaic word ending in the fourth trochee, the location of Hermann’s bridge, there is a change in the distribution of accent types in the sixth metron, favoring what he calls “barytone falls”, that is, post-acute long syllables. After presenting the regular distribution of accents in the sixth metron, the author shows how that distribution is modified when there is a trochaic ending word in the fourth trochee. The results are later revised for possible formulaic interferences. Finally, he considers the implications of this phenomenon for the interpretation of Hermann’s law and speculates on its influence on current explanations of that rule.

Abstract
Medicinal plants belonging to the genus Ardisia are traditionally used to cure various human diseases including inflammation and cancer. This study aimed to purify and characterize cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory compounds from Ardisia sieboldii leaves. Bioassay-guided chromatographic analyses yielded three compounds, 2-methyl-5-(8Z-heptadecenyl) resorcinol (1), 5-(8Z-heptadecenyl) resorcinol (2), and ardisiaquinone A (3), whereas liquid chromatography–electrospray ionisation–mass spectrometry chemical profiling revealed the presence of diverse resorcinol and alkylbenzoquinone derivatives in cytotoxic 70% methanol extracts. Chemical structures of 1

Published: August 2019

The large number of species which cause parasitic infestations and the wide variety of routes and factors of their transmission give great relevance to systematic veterinary-sanitary research into environmental objects, necessarily paying attention to local natural-climatic conditions, social structure and the activities of the population. This problem is most often studied by medical researchers and ecologists, and the extent of studies on this topic from a veterinary-sanitary point of view is insufficient, which conditioned our choice of the current scientific study. Our goal was determining the level of contamination of urbanized territories with exogenous forms of helminths. The research was conducted during 2010–2018 in the territory of Kharkiv Oblast of Ukraine. During the study, we examined 41 samples of soil, extracted both in rural areas, and in urban conditions, and also 100 samples of feces of animals and birds. During the examination of soil from rural areas in Kharkiv Oblast and soil in Kharkiv and Balakleia, we found that it was contaminated with eggs of helminths of different morphotypes. It was determined that mean level of contamination of soil in rural area equaled 12.5%. At the same time, the level of contamination of soil of river banks was 15% at intensity of 52 ± 5 eggs/kg of soil and 10.0% in meadows at intensity of 54 ± 8 eggs/kg of soil. The level of contamination of the soil of park zones of urbanized territories with exogenous stages of helminths was 5–55% and that of residential zones of cities was 20.0–23.3%. In general, in the samples of soil, eggs of Strongilata, Ascaridata, Trichocephalus and Cestoda were isolated, and in the soil of rural areas also eggs of Trematoda class. It was proved that cattle and small ruminants discharge feces into the environment which have highest number of eggs of Strongylata spp. helminths (285 ± 3 eggs/g of feces). Excrement of infested birds contaminate the environment with exogenous forms of helminths of Trichocephalata (Capillaria spp.) suborder (101 ± 7 eggs/g of feces). In cities, dogs and cats, infested with helminths, discharge into the environment feces with eggs of parasites that belong to Toxocara spp. (75 ± 4 eggs/g) and Dipylidium caninum (6 ± 1 eggs/g). Droppings of infested birds contaminate the environment with exogenous forms of helminthes of Strongylata spp. (57 ± 2 eggs/g), Аscaridia spp. (19 ± 4 eggs/g) and Capillaria spp. (11 ± 2 eggs/g).
New findings of pest sciarid species (Diptera, Sciaridae) in Ukraine, with the first record of Bradysia difformis

Sciarids (Diptera, Sciaridae) or black fungus gnats are small, mainly dark coloured insects whose larvae usually develop in rotting plant remains permeated by fungal hyphae. Typical habitats for sciarids are shaded forests and wet meadows, but some species can migrate from natural biotopes to anthropogenic ecosystems and live as synanthropes. Synanthropic sciarid species in the case of their larvae mass development, may cause significant damage to agricultural plants and mushrooms and are considered as pests. The information on pest activities of sciarids in the literature is provided for 34 species, but only 7 species can be considered as dangerous pests. In the framework of taxonomic and ecological research on Sciaridae in Ukraine, some chorological and faunistic peculiarities of pest sciarids have been studied. We collected material during the expeditions and excursions in different biotopes of Ukraine from 2012 to 2018 using the Malaise trap, by the method of non-count sweeping with entomological net and with exhauster directly from substrate. The collected imagoes were placed into 5 mL vials with 70% ethanol. In the lab, the fixed material was dehydrated in absolute ethanol and mounted on slides in Euparal. All of the studied material is kept in Andriy Babytskiy’s Private Collection, Kyiv (PABK) and mostly availible to the public on the UkrBIN. In Ukraine 4 species of harmful sciarid pests from 3 genera are recorded, namely Bradysia brunnipes (in Crimea), B. difformis (in Kyiv and Volyn Regions), Lycoriella ingenua (in Kyiv and Volyn Regions) and Pnyxia scabiei (Western regions excluding the Carpathians). B. brunnipes, also known as “cucumber gnat”, is one of the widespread cucumber pests in greenhouses, damaging roots and above-ground shoots of cucumbers. In Ukraine, mass development of this species and significant loses of the harvest caused by it have not been reported. B. difformis is a widespread pest sciarid, but in Ukraine it has been recorded for the first time. The mass development of this species was recorded in hothouses with cacti and other succulent plants at the O. V. Fomin Botanical Garden, where the larvae of B. difformis cause significant damage to these plants, especially to their sprouts. L. ingenua is the most common sciarid pest which damages mushrooms in hothouses. In Ukraine it was massively recorded in cellars and on vegetables in storages. P. scabiei was recorded in Western Ukraine, except the Carpathians, as a potato pest species that damages sprouts in the fields and tubers in storages. Considering the absence of records of P. scabiei in natural biotopes of Ukraine, it is likely that this species was introduced to our country from America together with potatoes and should be recognized as an alien species to the natural entomofauna of Ukraine.
Reguła Braci Mniejszych, jej powstanie i zatwierdzenie w dziełach hagiograficznych i w kazaniach św. Bonawentury
Authors: Horowski Aleksander 
Published: August 2019

Celem artykułu jest przeanalizowanie, w jaki sposób św. Bonawentura z Bagnoregio przedstawia zatwierdzenie Zakonu Braci Mniejszych oraz ich Reguły. Teksty Żywota większego i Żywota mniejszego zostają porównane z najwcześniejszymi dziełami hagiograficznymi poświęconymi św. Franciszkowi z Asyżu. Odczytanie tych dzieł w świetle kazań Bonawentury ku czci Świętego Asyżanina pozwala na głębsze uchwycenie intencji autora, który kreśląc duchowy portret założyciela zakonu, pomija milczeniem fakty mogące osłabić pozycję Braci Mniejszych w toczącym się wówczas sporze o rolę nowych wspólnot zakonnych w Kościele. Bonawentura przenosi więc akcent z zatwierdzenia Zakonu i Reguły przez papieża − stojące w sprzeczności z Konstytucją XIII Soboru Laterańskiego IV − na stygmatyzację Franciszka, którą przedstawia jako cudowne potwierdzenie wspólnoty Braci Mniejszych przez samego Chrystusa.
Personalistyczna zasada wychowania w Itinerarium mentis in Deum św. Bonawentury
Authors: Śliwiński Piotr Jordan 
Published: August 2019

Itinerarium mentis in Deum to dziełko świętego Bonawentury napisane jako podręcznik dla formacji franciszkanów. Jej zasadniczym rysem jest naśladowanie świętego Franciszka z Asyżu. Bonawentura medytując życie Biedaczyny, proponuje formy jego naśladowania. Posługuje się przy tym językiem filozoficzno-teologicznym, a co za tym idzie dokonuje ciekawej interpretacji życia i osoby Świętego z Asyżu. Artykuł analizuje bliżej: proponowaną koncepcję hierarchii wiedzy oraz proponowany sposób medytacji jako dwa ciekawe przykłady takiej personalistycznie zorientowanej formacji.
Ku ekumenii realistycznej. W poszukiwaniu przyczyn trudności w katolicko-prawosławnym dialogu teologicznym
Authors: Kałużny Tadeusz 
Published: August 2019

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja ważniejszych przyczyn trudności w katolicko-prawosławnym dialogu teologicznym na forum światowym. Temat został rozwinięty w czterech częściach. Najpierw zwrócono uwagę na odmienną świadomość podziału w katolicyzmie i w prawosławiu. Następnie dokonano ogólnej prezentacji wybranych aspektów katolicko-prawosławnego „dialogu miłości” i „dialogu prawdy”. W trzeciej części omówiono uwarunkowania początków dialogu teologicznego między obydwoma Kościołami. W końcu odniesiono się do kluczowych problemów natury eklezjologicznej, które pojawiły się w toku dialogu, takich jak uznanie kościelnego statusu partnerów dialogu, rozumienie kategorii „Kościołów siostrzanych” i stosunek do kwestii „uniatyzmu”. Ostatecznie stwierdzono, że katolicko-prawosławny dialog teologiczny jest dialogiem trudnym. Istniejące trudności dialogowe nie muszą jednak prowadzić do zniechęcenia, ale wręcz przeciwnie – mogą stać się impulsem do pogłębienia i ożywienia katolicko-prawosławnego dialogu teologicznego.
Doświadczenie męki Chrystusa jako paradygmat mistycznego doświadczenia Boga w nocy ciemnej
Authors: Strumiłowski Jan 
Published: August 2019

W artykule została podjęta próba teologicznej interpretacji męki Chrystusa, rozumianej jako wydarzenie paradygmatyczne względem chrześcijańskiego doświadczenia nocy ciemnej. Owa teologiczna interpretacja, dla zachowania jak największego zakresu eksplikacyjnego z założenia, powinna być spójna teologicznie wobec pokrewnych dziedzin teologicznych (teologii duchowości i dogmatyki obejmującej trynitologię, chrystologię i antropologię). Ponadto ów model wyjaśniania podkreślić ma prymat oraz totalność działania Boga, skupiając się na pozytywnym odczytaniu misterium zarówno męki Chrystusa, jak i doświadczenia nocy ciemnej przez chrześcijanina.
Educação a distância no Brasil, Rússia e China
Authors: Moraes Raquel de Almeida 
Published: August 2019

O objetivo do artigo é divulgar pesquisa sobre a Educação a Distância, EaD no Brasil, Rússia e China, dos primórdios no século XX a 2016, problematizando os rumos para o desenvolvimento e a inovação desses países. A abordagem metodológica é do materialismo histórico-dialético presente nos estudos comparados críticos em educação. Entre os resultados, destaca-se que a tendência à massificação e ao lucro rápido está presente nas instituições de ensino privadas no Brasil. Na Rússia e na China não foram encontrados cursos superiores à distância privados e a política é estatal desde as revoluções comunistas. Nos documentos coletados nesses países, a análise dos discursos revelou que há aproximação com as diretrizes dos organismos internacionais tendo por fundamento ideológico a Teoria do Capital Humano e a Economia do Conhecimento.
La capacitación para directores escolares en Córdoba, Argentina. Un breve acercamiento
Authors: Yelicich Carolina 
Published: August 2019

El propósito de este artículo es centrar la mirada en la capacitación de directores de centros escolares, destacando los puntos problemáticos de las políticas de formación continua destinadas a este colectivo en la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina. El presente ensayo se basa en un análisis documental de la legislación y se estructura mediante los tres argumentos subsiguientes: múltiples miradas sobre la capacitación para directores; múltiples normativas y regulaciones de la capacitación a directivos escolares y múltiples tensiones en la formación continua para directores escolares. Sostenemos que la capacitación para directivos en la provincia de Córdoba, Argentina, se encuentra en una situación inestable. Se constata la generación de políticas, organismos y propuestas específicas que pretender brindarle organicidad a la formación continua para directores escolares, no obstante en la práctica dicha formación se diluye en propuestas aisladas, de escasa conexión con la realidad de las instituciones educativas y libradas al interés o necesidad que identifique cada director de forma particular. Resulta necesario un profundo trabajo de articulación entre instancias de gobierno e instituciones para construir un sistema formador coordinado, centrado en las necesidades reales de la función directiva y al alcance de todos los directores y los docentes que aspiran a la dirección escolar.
