Published: September 2024

Introduction and objectiveThe war and the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine have resulted in a mass migration of millions of Ukrainians into the EU countries. According to the data obtained from Statistics Poland, a governmental agency collecting and publishing the country’s statistical data, the number of Ukrainian children currently living in Poland is approximately 500,000. The massive influx of immigrants into Poland poses a considerable challenge to the national health care sector. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among Ukrainian child war refugees living in Warsaw.Material and methodsThe study involved a total of 25 Ukrainian children, patients of the Clinic of Paediatrics, Nephrology and Paediatric Allergology at the Military Institute of Medicine – National Research Institute in Warsaw. Parasitological diagnostic work-up was carried out in October 2023 at the Department of Epidemiology and Tropical Medicine, the Military Institute of Medicine – National Research Institute in Gdynia. Stool tests for the presence of intestinal parasites were conducted by light microscopy using three different methods (direct smear in Lugol’s solution, decantation with distilled water, Fülleborn’s flotation).ResultsA total of 20% of the children studied (5/25) were found to be infected with potentially pathogenic stramenopile <i>Blastocystis</i> spp. In addition, two of the children were also infected with non-pathogenic <i>Endolimax</i> nana and <i>Entamoeba</i> coli protozoa. There were no infections with nematodes, cestodes or trematodes among the study participants.ConclusionsThe confirmation of potentially pathogenic <i>Blastocystis</i> spp. in stool samples collected from Ukrainian children, war refugees living in Warsaw, justifies the necessity to re-introduce a large-scale routine screening for intestinal parasites in the paediatric population in Poland.

The object of the study is scientific social and humanitarian publications devoted to Russia of Kyrgyzstan scientists. These are works in five disciplines: “Russian language and literature”, “political science”, “history”, “economics” and “law”. The purpose of the work is to identify the degree of study and the specificity of research on Russia in Kyrgyzstan in studies on Russian philology, history and political science, and analysis of expert-analytical and scientific-educational materials on economic and legal aspects of research.Of greatest interest to Kyrgyz researchers is Russian language, which is explained by the status and role of the Russian language in the Kyrgyz Republic and its dominant position in the capital, Bishkek, where all major universities of the republic dealing with Russian topics are located. In the sphere of the other four disciplines, the interests of researchers are limited to historical, political and economic relationships between the two states. The study showed that, in general, the ideological positions of local experts are manifested in a positive or neutral attitude towards Russia, despite individual (single) works that contain a negative interpretation of Kyrgyz-Russian relations.
DIFFERENT CLASSES OF ANTIBIOTICS AND BACTERIAL MECHANISMS OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Authors: D.D. YELTOKOVA , P.G. ALEXYUK , T.D. DOOLOTKELDIEVA , M.S. ALEXYUK 
Published: September 2024

Antibiotic resistance presents a significant challenge to global public health, with many commonly used antibiotics rendered ineffective against bacterial infections. According to WHO, about 700,000 people die each year worldwide from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens, and about one-third of these deaths are children. According to preliminary predictions, deaths from antibiotic-resistant infections could reach 10 million per year by 2050. The problem of the spread of antibiotic resistance is compounded by the fact that the rate and amount of funding for the development of new, effective antibacterial drugs has decreased dramatically over the past decades. Under these circumstances, there is an urgent need to introduce new methods of antibiotic therapy into medical practice or to improve already known practices. The action of various antibiotics, including β-lactams, macrolides, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones, among others, is discussed. Additionally, the primary mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, such as enzymatic degradation, target site modification, and efflux pumps, are examined. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for the development of strategies to combat antibiotic resistance and preserve the efficacy of these life-saving drugs. This paper provides a comprehensive foundation for further research and the development of novel approaches to address this pressing global health challenge.
Антибиотикорезистентность представляет собой серьезную проблему для глобального здравоохранения, поскольку у многих, широко используемых антибактериальных препаратов, значительно снизилась их терапевтическая эффективность. По данным ВОЗ ежегодно в мире погибает около 700 000 человек от инфекций, вызванных антибиотикорезистентными бактериальными патогенами и около трети из этих погибших являются детьми. По предварительным прогнозам, к 2050 году смертность от антибиотикорезистентных инфекций может достигнуть 10 млн человек в год. Проблема распространения антибиотикорезистентности осложняется тем, что за последние десятилетия резко снизились темпы и объёмы финансирования разработки новых, эффективных антибактериальных препаратов. В сложившихся обстоятельствах возникает острая необходимость внедрения в медицинскую практику новых методов антибактериальной терапии или улучшения уже известных практик. В этом обзоре были рассмотрены такие классы антибиотиков как β-лактамы, макролиды, аминогликозиды, фторхинолоны и др., а также способы их воздействия на бактериальные клетки. Кроме того, были показаны основные механизмы антибиотикорезистентности бактерий, такие как ферментативная деградация, модификация целевых сайтов и эффлюксные насосы. Понимание этих механизмов имеет важное значение для разработки стратегий борьбы с антибиотикорезистентностью и сохранения эффективности антибиотикотерапии. Данная работа закладывает основу для дальнейших исследований и поиска новых подходов к решению этой глобальной проблемы современного здравоохранения.

A person lives in an environment where positive and negative sound waves propagate. Today, in urbanized cities, an increasing number of vehicles are the main source of sound distribution. Depending on the intensity of sound emanating from cars, their total magnitude, daily distribution and duration, noise becomes a source of harmful effects on human health. Along with the noise from cars, unburned pollutants from burning fuel also spread. It creates additional stress on the environment, human health, along with sound waves when pollutants accumulate in the city's air. In this regard, the analytical work is based on an analysis of the number of vehicles on the roads of the city of Almaty and their emissions.

Appraisal of the Flooding Behaviour of Rotating Packed Beds
Authors: Garba Usman , ROUZINEAU David , Meyer Michel 
Published: September 2024

Rotating packed beds (RPBs) enhances mass transfer processes because a centrifugal force which is several -times greater than gravity is used as the driving force. The complexity of fluid flow across RPBs has made predicting and accurately determining their hydrodynamic behaviours difficult. The flooding point as a hydrodynamic characteristic is essential for the accurate design and scale-up of RPBs. However, variations in flooding point definitions and methodologies across the literature highlight the need for standardized approaches in studying RPB flooding phenomena. This study compared four approaches based on pressure drop fluctuations and the volume of liquid ejected from the RPB to determine the onset of flooding in RPBs using experimental results from a pilot-scale counter-current RPB. For rotational speeds of 300 -1500 rpm, gas flow rate of 100-300 Nm3/h, and liquid flow rates of 0.39-0.75 m3/h, the pressure drop varied from 314 to 2,100 Pa. Quantitative comparisons of the results based on different flooding point definitions showed wide variations with the values of the pressure drop at the onset of flooding differing by as much as 325 %. A quantitative approach based on virtual observations and the ejection of 8 % of the total liquid flow rate from the rotor’s eye is proposed as the standard method for identifying the onset of flooding in RPBs.

In this study, influence of low and high heat inputs on corrosion susceptibility of 304L austenitic stainless steel (ASS) in simulated 0.5 molar solution of NaCl was investigated. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was used to generate low and high levels welding heat input. Microstructures of the weldments were examined, using metallurgical optical microscope (OMM) (Olympus GX51), while the corrosion behaviours were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests, and corrosion data were recorded, using a computer-based data logging system – Autolab PGSTAT 204N. From the results, the evolving microstructures of the weldments before corrosion were characteristically heterogeneous; austenite (γ) was the leading phase, while ferrite (α) grains were dispersed within the γ matrix. Fusion zone (FZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) microstructures after corrosion were characterised by pits of varying sizes with different alignments. And at GTAW speed, current and voltage of 7.2 mm/s, 200A and 40V, corresponding to low heat inputs, there were few number and size of pits relative to 1.7 mm/s, 200A and 40V, corresponding to high heat input. Shift in corrosion potentials (Ecorr) toward less negative direction, that is more nobility was observed at the low heat inputs induced GTAW parameters as compared to the corresponding high heat inputs induced GTAW parameters. In general, corrosion susceptibility of 304L ASS in the simulated 0.5 molar solution of NaCl was heightened at high heat inputs induced GTAW parameters as compared to the corresponding low heat inputs parameters.

This study presents the design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of a thresher used in palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) extraction plants. The FEA was performed to ensure safe and cost effective of the thresher before fabrication. The analytical design of the threshing shaft and drum of the thresher was validated using SolidWorks (2021) CAD software for static simulation, employing plain carbon steel as the material. For the threshing shaft, forces of and were applied at strategic points, resulting in a maximum bending stress of , significantly below the yield strength of . The shaft's diameter of 50 mm was confirmed as adequate with a factor of safety (FOS) ranging from 3.17 to 142.42, validating the shaft design's safety for fabrication. Similarly, the drum unit, supported by a spider arm and cylindrical bars, was subjected to an equivalent twisting moment of 861.25 Nm and a batch weight of 1226.25 N. The maximum von Mises stress of was well within safe limits, indicating robustness under operational loads. The maximum resultant displacement and equivalent strain were respectively which can be said to be minimal, reinforcing the drum's structural integrity. A minimum FOS of 20.45 further highlighted the drum's durability and resistance to fatigue. These results confirm the reliability and safety of the designed thresher components, ensuring efficient and sustainable palm oil extraction.
“Carissima cara”: la lingua delle scritture private di emigranti italiani in Brasile. Uno studio diacronico
Authors: Amenta Luisa , Ferroni Roberta 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In questo contributo si analizzano attraverso la comparazione di due corpora di scritture private, uno risalente al secolo scorso e l'altro contemporaneo, le trasformazioni stilistiche e linguistiche in atto nella corrispondenza personale di emigrati italiani in Brasile. L'analisi dei dati tende ad evidenziare che dal punto di vista stilistico la cornice testuale si mantiene stabile, confermando il modello epistolare tripartito. Per quanto riguarda i topoi trattati si distaccano degli addensamenti tematici che transitano parallelamente nei corpora. L'analisi linguistica ci ha permesso di osservare come nelle scritture più recenti, in cui le interferenze con il portoghese-brasiliano sono frutto di una scelta consapevole degli scriventi, si recupera un registro di italiano medio assente in quelle del Novecento che oscillavano tra l'italiano popolare e l'italiano formale/burocratico e in cui si evidenzia un maggior numero di calchi. Inoltre, le scritture digitali comportano una enfatizzazione della prossimità della scrittura all'oralità.
In principio erat verbum? Tullio De Mauro e le riflessioni americane di educazione linguistica democratica
Authors: Casini Simone 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Il contributo si pone l'obiettivo di rileggere la lezione di Tullio De Mauro attraverso il concetto di educazione linguistica democratica, proposto come fondamento teoretico della ricerca linguistica e semiotica non solo in riferimento ai processi generalmente educativi, ma entro le stesse dinamiche di uso simbolico attraverso le lingue e i linguaggi. Partendo dalla analisi dei principi semiotici e teorici che alimentano l'educazione linguistica, il contributo sviluppa una riflessione che considera come le implicazioni dell'educazione linguistica democratica siano, nei fatti, a fondamento dei principi ispiratori delle attuali politiche educative globali, sia nord americane che europee, e degli stessi riferimenti di politica linguistica che hanno dato esiti, da entrambe le sponde dell'Atlantico, alle attuali linee guida della Educational Linguistics e del Translanguaging.

From Passio to Compassio: Marian Beatrice and Dante in the Vita Nuova
Authors: Kim Jieon 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this essay on the Vita Nuova, I will first analyze both the resemblance of the person of Beatrice to that of Mary and the likeness between two actions of Beatrice and Mary. Second, I will observe the resemblance and likeness of the person and action of Dante-actor and Mary. After recognizing Dante-actor reenacting in part Mary at the Incarnation and the Passion, I will thirdly point out the resemblance and likeness between Dante-author and Marian commentators of the Song of the Songs such as Honorius Augustodunensis (1080-1154), who comments on the Gospels, Epistles, and verses of the Song selected for the Feast of the Assumption, and Rupert of Deutz (c. 1075-1129), who was inspired by dream visions and produced the first commentary that interprets the entire mystical and prophetic Song of Solomon in relation to the historia Mary should have fulfilled.1
Dentro la lingua avita. La nominazione in Viaggio terrestre e celeste di Simone Martini
Authors: Luzi Alfredo 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Nell'ampia produzione saggistica e poetica di Mario Luzi, che spazia per più di mezzo secolo nella storia letteraria d'Italia, la questione teoretica e pragmatica della nominazione è una costante, pur nel variare delle posizioni assunte, che vanno dal neoplatonismo delle prime opere all'apertura fenomenologica presente negli scritti all'altezza degli anni ’90. In Viaggio terrestre e celeste di Simone Martini porsi il problema di dare il nome alle cose equivale ad approssimarsi ad una raffigurazione dell'uomo e del mondo nella compresenza di fisica e metafisica, attraverso gli emblemi della natura, della creatura, della preghiera, della speranza.
Una nuova testimonianza in volgare della fortuna umanistica di Boccaccio (Decameron X, 8)
Authors: Scardicchio Andrea 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Opera di Giovanni Giustiniani da Candia pubblicata nel 1553, la Risposta di Carmide ateniese a Tito Quinzio Fulvio è ispirata alla celebre novella decameroniana di Tito e Gisippo. È una dotta orazione con la quale il protagonista Carmide, padre della quindicenne Sofronia, rimprovera a Tito il raggiro della figliola eseguito con la complicità di Gisippo. Il discorso autoassolutorio pronunciato da Tito nel Decameron non trovava d'accordo Giustiniani. Letterato umanista fedele alla lezione degli antichi, fervente cattolico sensibile alla dottrina erasmiana, maestro di grammatica incline all'insegnamento morale, con la sua operetta egli intende piuttosto celebrare l'amicizia onesta, l'agire virtuoso, la sacralità del vincolo coniugale. Lo sfondo è quello dell'età a cavallo tra Riforma e Controriforma, con i sopraggiunti indirizzi censori culminati nella condanna all'Indice del capolavoro boccacciano e nel successivo ciclo di rassettature a debellarne la licenziosità.
The First Italian Microhistory: Primo Levi and Postwar Representations of Alterity
Authors: Pucci Julia Claire 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In the final chapter of his not-quite-autobiography, Il sistema periodico, Primo Levi claims that the work “È, o avrebbe voluto essere, una microstoria” (229), the implications of which are vast. According to Carlo Ginzburg, it is in this passage that “the word microstoria appears in Italian for the first time in an autonomous manner” (“Microhistory: Two or Three Things That I Know about It” 15). This article explores the microhistorical tenets manifest in Levi's writing, the history of the term itself, and Italian microhistory's ostensible ties to Italian neorealism. Indeed, the composition of Il sistema periodico represents an important moment in the progression of popular and scholarly representations of alterity, re-contextualizing Levi in a milieu of partisans and survivors keen on rewriting history.
Experiencing Panismo in Sorrentino's The Great Beauty, Youth and Loro
Authors: Mariani Annachiara 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to disavow the widespread argument that many of Sorrentino's films are set in what Marc Augé would call non-spaces. Non-place or nonplace is a neologism coined by this French anthropologist to refer to anthropological spaces of transience, where human beings remain anonymous and do not hold enough significance to be regarded as places. However, through an approach inspired by psychogeography and ecocriticism, I will argue that in Sorrentino's films The Great Beauty (2013), Youth (2015), and the diptych Loro 1 and Loro 2 (2018), these non-places undergo a profound ontological transformation. They become significant because their powerful energy becomes a synergy that enters the characters, helping them to overcome their meaningless existence, to transform their lives, and find their lost inspiration. Sorrentino's characters use cityscapes (in The Great Beauty), landscapes (in Youth), and domestic spaces (in Loro 1 and Loro 2) as tools to heal their malaise, artistic aridity, and psychological discontent. They achieve this through a sort of Dannunzian Panismo, which entails an intense fusion between humans and the environment. What is atypical from a Dannunzian perspective is the hypothesis of possibly attaining a panic fusion in a natural and in an urban context, cityscape or domestic space.
