Semantics and structure of the concept of “Bogatyrstvo” in epics and modern linguistic consciousness
Authors: Dmitrieva Natalya Mihailovna , Korobeynikova Anna Alexandrovna , Malahova Olga Mikhailovna , Polovnikova Anastasiya Yurievna 
Published: April 2024

The subject of the study is the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" and its structural and semantic features. Bogatyrstvo is inextricably linked with the hero and with the plot of epics. In epics, it is perceived as a concept-script, that is, it is formed in the process of the entire narrative. However, the original structure of the concept is presented as a conceptual field of meanings inscribed in a more complex structural formation – the ethical concept of "Courage". The relevance of the research is dictated by the high precedent of the name of the concept and its dominant verbalizers. The semantic field of the concept is explored in etymological, historical and topical layers. The main semantic load of the etymological layer of the concept is formed in the Church Slavonic language. The historical layer is vividly represented in the dictionaries of the XIX and XX centuries, the latter captures the limitation of the "existence" of the concept by the genre of epic. The actual layer is revealed in the process of studying the consciousness of modern students. The purpose of the article is to identify the reference points (slots) that formed the basis of the concept. A special contribution of the authors and the novelty of the study is the conduct of a semantic experiment, which established that in the minds of modern native speakers, the concept Bogatyrstvo, for which analysis methods were used (analysis of dictionary definitions and contextual analysis of epics), semantic analysis (the "supporting" semantic shares of the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" were identified, their key verbalizers were highlighted) and the method of semantic experiment to identify the modern perception of the concept. The main conclusions of the study: 1) the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" has a static frame structure and a field structure, including slots "spiritual strength" and "physical strength". Spiritual strength lies in the constant readiness to stand up for the motherland as a manifestation of true courage and heroism; in the fate of the hero-defender, ordained from above; in the Christian faith. The physical strength of the hero is, as it were, the personification of the whole strength of the Russian people, given by God. 2) These slots are present in the epics in the dynamic structure of the script: the slot "physical force" unfolds to the whole epic action; the slot "spiritual force" is expressed through the entire epic narrative – this is the very motivation for action. A special contribution of the authors and the novelty of the study is the conduct of a semantic experiment, which established that in the minds of modern native speakers, the concept of "Bogatyrstvo" is presented statically and includes both slots, with the predominance of the slot "spiritual power".

Autorka v pojednání odpovídá na čtyři reflexe své knihy Hegelova fenomenologie světa. V první části se věnuje základním pojmům, tak jak je komentuje Pirmin Stekeler, který vyzdvihuje především vztah pojmu světa ke svému vlastnímu pojmu životních forem. Vypořádává se rovněž s odlišnými interpretacemi vztahu sebevědomí na straně jedné a boje na život a na smrt na straně druhé. V závěru tohoto oddílu se zaměřuje na Stekelerovu koncepci Fenomenologie ducha jako mundiceje. V této souvislosti se autorka obrací k tématu náboženství, které je stěžejní pro příspěvek Olgy Navrátilové. Autorka odmítá návrh Olgy Navrátilové chápat Hegelovu řeč o konci náboženství jako anticipaci zániku náboženství. Zdůrazňuje, že Hegel usiluje o podržení všech tří momentů ducha, které jsou na symbolické rovině vyjádřeny jako Otec – Syn – Duch Svatý. Přestože vychyluje dynamiku směrem k Duchu, netvrdí, že by pojem transcendence, tak jak jej na úrovni náboženství ztělesňuje Bůh, měl být překonán ve smyslu jeho zničení. V reakci na pojednání od Josefa Vojvodíka zdůrazňuje autorka důležitost děl romantiků pro Hegelovu filosofii, především ironie a humoru, avšak vždy v jejich objektivních, nikoliv subjektivních podobách. Ironie není vlastností subjektivního ducha, ale objektivní skutečnosti. V poslední části se autorka věnuje reflexi Tomáše Kordy, který vznáší nárok radikální aktualizace: podle autora by bylo záhodno domyslet Fenomenologii a promítnout její tezi, resp. Hegelovu filosofii vůbec do naší současnosti, a tak sledovat, do jaké míry se duch vzdělával i po Hegelově době. Tento typ aktualizace autorka odmítá a navrhuje, že aktualizovat je možné Hegelův styl, méně již jeho pojem dějin.

Published: April 2024

As leishmanioses são doenças zoonóticas parasitárias ocasionadas por parasitas do gênero Leishmania intracelulares obrigatórios e transmitidas por meio da picada da fêmea do flebotomíneo, do Gênero Lutzomyia (L. longypalpis), infectadas. A partir da análise dos dados obtidos qualitativamente do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação-SINAN	Net/ DATASUS e Integra Saúde Tocantins, constatou-se que as leishmanioses continuam sendo graves problemas de saúde no Estado do Tocantins, por ter apresentado elevado coeficiente de incidência para leishmanioses no país. Portanto se faz necessária uma maior atenção por parte do poder público para que se possa reduzir sua incidência no território, por se tratar de um problema intrinsecamente relacionado com as condições socioeconômica e socioambientais, tais como: saneamento básico, presença de lixões a céu aberto e falta de conhecimento das medidas de prevenção por parte da sociedade.

Authors: Rahmadana Satwika Tri , Astuty Eka , Angkejaya Ony Wibriyono 
Published: April 2024

Background: Foodborne diseases are infections of the gastrointestinal tract caused by food containing microbiological agents and usually, these infections affect groups of individuals who have low immune systems. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB)are bacillus-shaped Gram-positive bacteria that work by inhibiting pathogenic bacteria that cause foodborne diseases. Maluku is a region in Indonesia rich in sago production. Sago ihur (Metroxylon sylvestre) and tuni (Metroxylon rumphii) are types of sago commonly found in Maluku. Sago is rich in carbohydrates and therefore has the opportunity to produce LAB. This study aimed to isolate and characterize LAB from sago wastewater was a laboratory experimental research with descriptive method using primary data. Methods: Bacterial isolation was carried out using a selective media. Characterization carried out by macroscopicly characterization by observing shape, margin, elevation, pigmentation, appearance, optical properties, and texture. Microscopic characterization was performed using Gram and spore staining. Results: The results of this study showed that five bacterial isolates (I1, I2, T3, T4, and I5) were successfully isolated in a round shape, flat edges, yellowish white color (not pigmented), shiny appearance, and mucoid texture, but isolate T3 showed a raised elevation and translucent to light (transparent), while for other isolates it was convex and translucent, and non-spore forming gram positive. Conclusion: Antibacterial tests against S. aureus and E. coli showed no inhibition zones. LAB isolates from sago wastewater showed no significant antibacterial effect

Published: April 2024

Background: Previous studies of Community Associated Pneumonia (CAP) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), patients have shown that D-Dimer increases higher in severe cases and can be used as a prognostic biomarker and whilst D-Dimer> 1 mcg/ ml tends to be death for hospitalized adult patient with a diagnosis of Covid-19. However, D-Dimer's role in Covid-19 patients has not been fully studied. We aim to conduct research on D-Dimer as a parameter of Clinical Severity and Death of Covid-19 Patients in Islamic Hospital, in Surabaya. Methods: This type of research is an analytic observational study with a retrospective approach. The population in this study were all patient’s data retrieved from the Dahlia Room’s database from June to July 2020 which were taken through EMR (an Electrical Medical Records) from a total of 189 patients with the total sample of 82 patients. Data analysis in this study used chi-square (X2) with a significant value of p <0.05. Results: Age over 60 years is associated with a higher risk of severe Covid-19 infection (P<0.05). A history of hypertension significantly affects the severity of Covid-19 infection (P < 0.05). The proportion of recoveries (53.7%) was higher than the number of deaths (46.3%), although the majority of patients experienced severe clinical severity (39%). Laboratory parameters, such as D-dimer values, correlated significantly with patient age (P = 0.027, <0.05). Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of factors such as age and history of comorbid diseases in predicting the severity of Covid-19 infection. A better understanding of these risk factors can help in more effective management and management of Covid-19 patients.

Authors: Bajracharya Leena , Joshi Leesha Shrestha , Rana Rachana Singh , Gurung Reeta 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is performed for corneal endothelial pathology. It had gained popularity over penetrating keratoplasty (PK) because of better outcome.
Methods:
Retrospective data was collected from records of patients who underwent DSAEK from 2005 to 2019. Demography, indications and post-operative complications of DSAEK were analyzed. Outcome was measured in terms of graft clarity and vision.
Results:
93 eyes of 86 patients had undergone DSAEK in the study period of 15 years. Average age of the patients was 61.0 years. 55.9% were female. The common indications for DSAEK were cataract surgery related bullous keratopathy (n=47, 50.5%), Fuchs dystrophy (n=22, 23.6%) and failed graft (n=11, 11.8%). 8.6% of surgeries had graft detachment and 5.3% had pupillary block in the early post-operative period. Outcome analysis was done for cases (n=80) which had follow-up duration of at least 2 months (range: 2 months to 11 years; average: 28.5 months).Endothelial rejection occurred in 8 cases (10.0%), 5 of which regained graft clarity after treatment. At the last follow-up visit, 23.8% (n=19) of grafts had failed, which was mostly due to endothelial failure (n=16); 3 grafts failed due to infective keratitis. 42.5% (n=34) acquired best corrected vision of 6/18 or better. The average astigmatic error was 1.6 Diopter Cylinder by refraction.
Conclusion:
DSAEK showed good outcome with our results comparable to other studies. It had replaced traditional PK in our institute for endothelial dysfunction. Surgeons in the country should be encouraged and trained to do the procedure.

Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) can be recognised as the backbone of an economy, as SMEs provide an enormous contribution to the GDP and employment creation. To maximise the contribution made by SMEs, the support of financial institutions is a critical factor for strengthening those ventures as they are usually running with financial difficulties. This study was directed to determine whether there is a significant impact of services offered by the financial institutions on the business performance of SMEs in non- agricultural sector in Sri Lanka. The study examined four independent variables to represent the support of the financial institutions through debt financing, training facility, technology facility, monitoring and supervision. Meanwhile, the business performance of SMEs was identified as the dependent variable of the study. It has been observed that there is a significant impact of independent variables on the dependent variable based on the previous literature. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from SMEs operating in seven districts in Sri Lanka, namely Colombo, Galle, Matara, Kurunegala, Badulla, Rathnapura and Kegalle. The stratified random sampling method was applied to collect data from respondents. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used to analyse the primary data gathered through the questionnaire. After removing outliers of total collected responses, 798 completed questionnaires were processed to perform univariate analysis, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis for analysing the data. The findings of the study revealed that all the four variables- debt financing, training facility, technology facility, monitoring and supervision- have significant positive impacts on the business performance of the non- agricultural SMEs based on the responses of the selected sample. In conclusion, the research team has put forward recommendations for the financial institutions to provide efficient services that will be highly beneficial for improving the business performance of SMEs and enable financial institutions to maintain healthy debt servicing practices.

Impact of Job Involvement on Organisational Commitment with Special Reference to the Branch Managers in Insurance Companies in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayarathne R.S.L. 
Published: April 2024

Job involvement is used for increasing employee productivity by enhancing employee participation and commitment. By considering the high turnover ratio, individual sales targets vs. branch sales targets and incentive compensation system, in here an attempt is made to study the impact of job involvement towards organisational commitment in terms of affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment with special reference to the branch managers in insurance companies in Sri Lanka. The population of the study was the branch managers who are working in the insurance companies in Sri Lanka and hundred branch managers were taken as the sample by using a simple random sampling method. To measure the organisational commitment, Allen and Meyer’s scale was used and to measure the job involvement, ten-item job involvement scale developed by Kanungo was used. The responses for the questionnaire were rated 1-5 with the use of five- point Likert scale, indicating strongly agree to strongly disagree. Data were analysed by using SPSS and data was normality distributed. The reliability was tested with Cronbach’s alpha and accordingly, variables were considered as acceptable in terms of reliability. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and simple regression analysis were used to analyse the collected data. The findings of the study revealed that all the hypotheses developed in this study got significant support and proved that job involvement has a significant positive impact on organisational commitment. Further, the study findings demonstrate that job involvement is a powerful weapon to increase the organisational commitment in terms of affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment in the insurance industry. Therefore, the managers should take a distinct interest to make every effort to increase the level of job involvement by paying more attention to job involvement factors, being sensitive to their employees’ needs, providing new types of training and development to employees, etc. It can be suggested to replicate future research by increasing sample size and adding individualistic characteristics as control variables.
