Abstract
Nazari, G and MacDermid, JC. Reliability of Zephyr BioHarness respiratory rate at rest, during the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test and recovery. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 264–269, 2020—Technological innovations have led to the development of wearable physiological monitoring devices, such as the Zephyr BioHarness (ZB). It is necessary to establish the measurement properties of a device and to determine its reliability parameters, before its utilization. The purpose of current study was to determine the test-retest reliability of ZB respiratory rate variable at rest, during the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT) (a submaximal test) and throughout recovery. Stratified convenience and snowballing were used to recruit 60 participants (30 females). Respiratory rate reliability was assessed at rest, with total of 20 measurements, during the mCAFT with total of 24 measures and throughout the recovery with total of 20 measures between the first and second sessions. At rest, test-retest respiratory rate intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and SEM for ZB ranged from 0.76 to 0.84 (0.62–0.83). During the mCAFT, the ZB ICCs and (SEM) ranged from 0.76 to 0.89 (1.53–4.00). Throughout the recovery, the ICCs and SEM ranged from 0.79 to 0.90 (0.90–1.28). To conclude, ZB respiratory rate variable demonstrated excellent reliability measures in a large sample of healthy male and female individuals across different age groups at rest, during a submaximal activity and throughout recovery. Our study findings add to the existing pool of literature regarding the reliability parameters of ZB wearable device and propose that stable and consistent measures of respiratory rate can be obtained using ZB device among healthy male and female participants at rest, during submaximal activity (mCAFT) and throughout recovery.

Abstract
The web of things, which is widely called the Internet of Things (IoT), aids as a part of our day-to-day life activities in today’s world. It has great potential to change the modern world. Although it benefits us in several ways, IoT possesses several issues, such as privacy, data confidentiality, and effective storage. The IoT community is extremely concerned about the quantum of information that may be leaked out. Hence, a secured atmosphere is mandatory for IoT devices to transmit data over public networks. In this article, a secure and optimized real-time system is proposed as an alternative methodology for data transmission from healthcare sensors to the cloud, either through local area or wide area networks. An effective optimization technique is also implemented to provide better storage.
Independent Neural Activity Patterns for Sensory- and Confidence-Based Information Maintenance during Category-Selective Visual Processing

Published: January 2019

AbstractSeveral influential theories of consciousness attempt to explain how, when and where conscious perception arises in the brain. The extent of conscious perception of a stimulus is often probed by asking subjects to provide confidence estimations in their choices in challenging perceptual decision-making tasks. Here, we aimed to dissociate neural patterns of “cognitive” and “sensory” information maintenance by linking category selective visual processes to decision confidence using multivariate decoding techniques on human EEG data. Participants discriminated at-threshold masked face versus house stimuli and reported confidence in their discrimination performance. Three distinct types of category-selective neural activity patterns were observed, dissociable by their timing, scalp topography, relationship with decision confidence, and generalization profile. An early (∼150–200 ms) decoding profile was unrelated to confidence and quickly followed by two distinct decodable patterns of late neural activity (350–500 ms). One pattern was on-diagonal, global and highly related to decision confidence, likely indicating cognitive maintenance of consciously reportable stimulus representations. The other pattern however was off-diagonal, restricted to posterior electrode sites (local), and independent of decision confidence, and therefore may reflect sensory maintenance of category-specific information, possibly operating via recurrent processes within visual cortices. These results highlight that two functionally independent neural processes are operating in parallel, only one of which is related to decision confidence and conscious access.
Centrifugal Innervation of the Olfactory Bulb: A Reappraisal

Published: January 2019

AbstractThe inter-regional connectivity of sensory structures in the brain allows for the modulation of sensory processing in manners important for perception. In the olfactory system, odor representations in the olfactory bulb (OB) are modulated by feedback centrifugal innervation from several olfactory cortices, including the piriform cortex (PCX) and anterior olfactory nucleus (AON). Previous studies reported that an additional olfactory cortex, the olfactory tubercle (OT), also centrifugally innervates the OB and may even shape the activity of OB output neurons. In an attempt to identify the cell types of this centrifugal innervation, we performed retrograde tracing experiments in mice utilizing three unique strategies, including retrobeads, retrograde adeno-associated virus (AAV) driving a fluorescent reporter, and retrograde AAV driving Cre-expression in the Ai9-floxed transgenic reporter line. Our results replicated the standing literature and uncovered robustly labeled neurons in the ipsilateral PCX, AON, and numerous other structures known to innervate the OB. Surprisingly, consistent throughout all of our approaches, no labeled soma were observed in the OT. These findings indicate that the OT is unique among other olfactory cortices in that it does not innervate the OB, which refines our understanding of the centrifugal modulation of the OB.

Ethics and ontology: Hans Jonas’ looking for the imperative of responsibility in the age of technology
Authors: Bacevičiūtė Danutė 
Published: January 2019

The article deals with the problem of relationship between ethics and ontology in Hans Jonas’ search for the imperative of responsibility in the age of technology. One can see the relationship between ontology and ethics as problematical not only because of the traditional distinction between the theoretical and practical reason, but also because of the Martin Heidegger’s attempt to return to fundamental ontology in terms of the henomenological Dasein analysis which differently incorporates the practical dimension. Jonas follows Heidegger when he notices that the nature of human action has changed in the technological age. The author of the article maintainsthat the phenomenon of technology is constitutive for Jonas’ formula of the responsibility imperative. Furthermore, the relationship between ontology and ethics is confirmed by Jonas’ orientation towards the real or genuine ethics (wirkliche Ethik), as well as towards the ontological grounding of ethics. However, Jonas’ stand against anonymity of Heidegger’s being, which can annul the ethical dimension and make one to resign facing necessity is also stressed. The article concludes that avoiding this anonymity Jonas declares the teleological notion of being as a kind of neo-Aristotelianism. The article questions whether the Aristotelian teleology can offer an adequate counterbalance for the dominant anonymity of modern technology. Maybe ethics should remain as an alternative to ontology instead of seeking for its ontological grounding.

Grigory MiheevThe Historical Book of russian Old Believers found in the Daugavpils Region
This article presens the description of the old print book of Russian Old Believers found and researched in Daugavpils, Latvia in 2010. This old print of the Book of Psalmes, with some handwritten inscriptions presents an unfinished work of an unknown scribe and restorator of incunable Books of Psalms. The description contains as following: the condition of the book binding and features of preserved part of printed texts, paper and 8 types of watermarks that were found on it. The pictures of filigrees and short details about paper mills, where the similar filigrees were used, are attached. The author provides the reproduction of the font, miniature, colophon, initials, three of publications and two hand written records. The print is identified as being close or similar to the Books of Psalmes and the other books printed by Pyotr Mstislavets, Vasil Garaburda and Mamonichi in the years between 1574 and 1601. The finding has been defined as similar to the “Black Dot Book of Psalms”, presumably printed by Mamnochis printing house in Vilnus. Its closest copy might be considered “The Red Dot Book of Psalmes” printed by Pyotr Mstislavets in 1678 in the same printing house. The date of the described print has been estimated as not later than July, 1600.

Jelena KonickajaRussian-Slovene Lexical Parallels
The article examines word pairs in two Slavic languages, Russian and Slovene, that stem from a shared etymon, or root in the shared protolanguage. These words can preserve a certain similarity on both the phonological (expressive) and semantic (content) levels. Within the analysis such doublets can also be included other pairs that relate to a given lexicosemantic field: for example, Rus. tverdyj – Slov. trd, trden; Rus. krepkij, cherstvyj – Slov. krepak, čvrst. The article proposes using minimal-context translation, avoiding word formations and sentences, in order to establish differential semes, or semantic components. A set of differential semes is presented for Rus. celyj, ves’ – Slov. cel, ves.

The Chuch Slavonic Synaxarion is an Orthodox calendar florilegium containing the lives of the saints and sermons. Characterised by a complex and extensive textual structure, the Synaxarion was widespread among the Eastern and Southern Slavic nations. Progressive studies into manuscripts have led to the discovery of new facts pertaining to the history of the Synaxarion text. This article summarises the observations made during the study into the editions of the Simple and Versed Synaxarion, which allowed clarifying and supplementing the existing classification of the editions. The article looks into the following main editions of the Simple Synaxarion: the Slavonic Synaxarion, the Kiev St. Sophia’s Cathedral edition, the Short and the Expanded editions, the Pskov edition, the Navahrudak edition and the following editions of the Versed Synaxarion: Tarnovo, Varlaam, Novgorod, Moscow, St. Cyril’s of White Lake Monastery edition, and the Rhymed edition. A more detailed classification includes short and expanded variants of these editions, versed versions of the Simple Synaxarion, and copies containing a mixed text of various editions.
Nieznane listy Władysława Syrokomli
Authors: Fedorowicz Irena 
Published: January 2019

The article is devoted to the nine as-yet-unpublished letters by Władisław Syrokomla (Ludwik Kondratowicz, 1823–1862), kept at the Lithuanian State Historical Archive. Although some of the letters are undated, it can be assumed that they were written c. 1850–60. During that period Syrokomla lived at the Bareikiškės estate, 16 kilometers from Vilnius, and later moved to Vilnius, where he became well-known as a poet. Although this was one of his most-productive periods, both personally and professionally, he was unable to shield his large family from financial difficulties. The letters analyzed here show that despite having many debts, he attempted to help both his family members and acquaintances. The letters were addressed to four individuals: Syrokomla’s neighbor Władysław Fiorentin (4 letters), Ludwik Wrublewski (1), Rudolf Piesanka (3) and a certain Pavel (probably Kukolnik) (1). The letters to Wrublewski and Piesanka are business-related, the others are personal.

The article was prepared as part of the research project Court Books of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL): A Digital Database, undertaken by the Vilnius University Library in 2011–2014 (VUL, Nr. LIT-5-19). The paper deals with the hitherto unstudied Trakai Castle Court Acts of 1660–1661 (F7-MDGs, 1660–1661) from the VUL collection, and presents Part II of the critical catalogue of manuscripts written in Polish and Ruthenian languages, as well as their descriptions (leaves 210–466). These documents are important for the study of Lithuanian, Polish and Belarusian history, as their contents reflect a broad political, social and cultural panorama of the multilingual GDL society. This feature of the manuscripts enables us to consider them as unique reference books that represent the changing sociolinguistic situation in the GDL.

The article provides dialectological recordings of Polish (the so-called polszczyznа kresowа) from the Trakai region, specifically Bražuolė and its surroundings, made during the expeditions in the 1990’s organized by the Department of Slavic Philology at Vilnius University. The Polish recordings are from an areal characterized sociolinguistically by the interface of four languages: the Polish dialect, Belarusian (po-prostu), Russian, and Lithuanian. These recordings reflect crucial and previously unidentified features of the sociolinguistic environment, as well as constitute historical evidence of language contact in Bražuolė and its surroundings. The data presented in the article can be used for further work on the history of language contacts in Lithuania.

Apie paraštes: seksualinių mažumų reprezentavimas Lietuvos spaudoje (2000-01 m.)
Authors: Tereškinas Artūras 
Published: January 2019

This article analyzes the images of sexual minorities in the Lithuanian press during the period of January, 2000 - June, 2001. Arguing that the mass media plays a critical role in the construction of representations of the sexual minorities, the author attempts to determine whether Lithuanian press makes the issues of homosexuality and homosexual people a part of public agenda. The analysis demonstrates that sexual minorities remain a difficult topic and an extremelly sensitive issue in Lithuania. Homosexuality is frequently described as a scandal, and homosexuals are still portrayed as an underworld unfamiliar to mass population.
At the end of the article, the author concludes that to correct the prejudices and misrepresentations offered by the mainstream Lithuanian press, one needs to develop alternative interpretations of homosexuality. However, to move towards non-phobic representations of lesbians and gays, it is necessary to struggle for legitimate, affirming, non-phobic inclusion of lesbians and gay men in the public sphere.
Vyriškų vaidmenų ypatumai dabarties Lietuvoje
Authors: Kublickienė Lilija 
Published: January 2019

The article analyses problems related to gender sociology. The main attention is focused on the importance of man’s studies, as the masculine aspect of gender issues is frequently given less attention than feminine problems. In Western countries, the importance of male studies is now being emphasised in particular. Three basic conceptual directions of investigation, which could be found in scientific sociological literature devoted for men and masculinism, could be pointed out. It is noted that currently scientific masculine researches that avoid one-sided ideological interpretation are more common. The concept of masculine studies could be defined as a very wide scope of investigation, which covers problems both caused and experienced by men.
Still, systemic masculine studies are not numerous, and the need for them remains urgent. The article presents the results of an empirical study carried out in Lithuania; the findings of the study allow describing the criteria of masculinity that are currently dominant. In addition, the article attempts disclosing limitations faced by men when they aim to match the stereotypical roles attached to them. Filling of the present gap in the masculine studies would help to restore equality in the field of knowledge about both genders, which is particularly important in order to be better aware of specific problems of each gender and to initiate a constructive dialogue about both genders, which is particularly important in order to be better aware of specific problems of each gender and to initiate a constructive dialogue.
Konfliktinė hegemonija: žiniasklaida ir moterys Lietuvoje bei Europos Sąjungoje
Authors: Tereškinas Artūras 
Published: January 2019

Recent research has demonstrated that there has been little improvement in quality of media coverage of women in Lithuania. Women’s images are usually sexualized, stereotyped or simply negative. In the media portrayals, women are often confined to the private sphere of home.
The article focuses on media representations of women in the context of women-and-media policies in EU and Lithuania. Analyzing the EU, UN and Lithuanian communication policy documents and describing briefly the key media and gender issues in EU and Lithuania, it demonstrates the lack of gender-equal media policy and the sluggishness with which the existing media policy with regard to gender issues is enforced in Lithuania.
Addressing the pluralism of women’s roles and images in the media, and fair and sufficient media coverage of women, the article also discusses feminist and post-feminist media studies that could offer more complex and sophisticated media research strategies.
The article also proposes some recommendations that could change, to some degree, the existing media and gender situation for the better. The author suggests that policy recommendations need a strong network of public, official and private institutions in order to be implemented successfully.
Placing considerable importance on eliminating stereotypes of women and on promoting diverse and nonstereotyped images of women in the media, the article uses the term “conflicted hegemony”. “Conflicted hegemony” implies that the media provide a site for conflicts and debates over different interpretations of the dominant culture, and that ideological counter-tendencies always appear in the dominant ideological forms. Policy recommendations, media research techniques and alternative media interpretations by their consumers can serve as resistance strategies to this hegemony.

In this article are analysed reasons of violence for women in the family: the influence of patriarchalism model, poverty, the view for woman in the contect of history, depresion, discord and conflicts between members of family. On the ground of G. D. Myers, J. Gilligan, P. L. Berger, A. M. Pavilionienė, K. Miškinis and other authors ideas, there are explained origin of violence for women, the whole of values, traditions, customs, habits and attitudes what have influence for inequality of sex. In the modern society the role of woman is very depreciated, because the women are sold to slavery, they are beat, killed.
The results of investigation proved, that women conflict and cross with their husbands, because they drink hard, humiliate wives, don’t agree for education of children, for poverty in their family. Husbands attach a little attention for their wives. They don’t like, that wives don’t take care for them. Women difficulty experience the violence, they feel strain and fear, hatred and humiliation.
Some women aren’t independent and confident, because they married with that man who harmed woman before wedding. Women complain to friends, neighbours, relatives about violence from husband, but only some women inform for police. The facts aren’t solved, because the women forgive for their violenctions, live with them and suffer.
The sociological investigations are the best ilustration of fact, that the women are depended on economy conditions in the family. This depending is connected with physical violence. In this article are explained prevention possibilities (the Women crisis centres, psichology services, ungovernment organizations). Its are explained some standpoints about punishments for thees, who beats and harms women. There are some ideas from Criminal Code of Lithuanian Republic and UNIFEM organization about the violence for women. The author of this article thinks, that the society has to know about problems in the families.
