Evaluation of Autonomic Nervous System Through Spectral Analysis in Patients with Ischemic Heart Failure: A Systematic Review
Authors: Portelli Giovanni-Paul , Stanica Iulia-Cristina , Ciobanu Ana , Dragoi-Galrinho Ruxandra , Zaharia Ondin , Nanea Ioan Tiberiu 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Heart failure is one of the most complex pathologies and most prevalent diseases, with around 64 million people affected globally (2% of the total adult population). In the initial phase of heart failure, studies have shown that the autonomic nervous system is in a state of imbalance, with an increase in the influence of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart. Persistence of long-term activation of the autonomic nervous system produces a decrease in the levels of myocardial catecholamines and also promotes down-regulation of beta-1 receptors.
This article is a systematic review of papers from four well-known and important scientific databases on the subject of power spectral analysis of ECG Holter monitoring in patients with heart failure. The PRISMA technique was used to identify the most relevant articles on this subject, and their results were presented based on importance of their use for the diagnosis of heart failure, for risk stratification of sudden death or arrhythmias, for the evaluation of certain treatments used, or for other possible pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the evolution of the disease.
Ultrasound Guided Phrenic Nerve Block for Percutaneous Computer Tomography Guided Lung Biopsy
Authors: Neagu Andrei , Zah Corina Adelina , Bucur Alexandru , Manucu George , Neagu Cătalina , Beţianu Cezar Iulian 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the technique of the ultrasound (US) guided phrenic nerve block (PNB). This is an important adjuvant technique for percutaneous computer-tomography (CT) lung biopsy of nodules situated in the lower lobes, in proximity of the diaphragm, with a diameter of less than 2 cm. These types of nodules have a high location variability during respiration, which makes them hard to be approached for a successful biopsy.
US visualization of the nerve is possible after identifying specific landmarks as the sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscle, interval jugular vein and brachial plexus. The phrenic nerve is seen as an oval hypoechogenic structure with no Doppler signal, superficial to the anterior scalene muscle. Ropivacaine can be used as a local anesthetic to induce the PNB.
Results: Success of the phrenic nerve block can be assessed by CT scanogram, which shows the ipsilateral hemidiaphragm elevated, and by subsequent lung scans that show little to no location variability of the target lesion.

Conclusion.
US-guided PNB is a safe and efficient procedure that can help during percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy of small basal nodules.
Hidden in Plain Sight: Pitfalls of a Case of Amyopathic Anti-Synthetase Syndrome Associated with Grawitz Tumor
Authors: Dinu Irina , Prie Ioan , Evsei Anca , Predeţeanu Denisa , Copca Narcis 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is a rare autoimmune disease whose hallmark consists of the presence of autoantibodies directed against aminoacyl transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetases thus making it a distinctive pathology of the broad spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Clinically, lung involvement in the form of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myositis are typical findings. Inflammatory myopathies should always raise the suspicion of an adjancent tumoral process and therefore prompt the clinician to perform a thorough screening. We present the case of a 55 year old caucasian male who was diagnosed with amyopathic ASS and a clear cell renal carcinoma (Grawitz tumor), along with the consequent therapeutic challenges.
Response of Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) parasitized by the nematode Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi Poinar (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) to different colors of light
Authors: Simota-Ruiz M. , Castillo-Vera A. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi is a nematode that naturally parasitizes Hypothenemus hampei in a coffee-producing region in Chiapas, Mexico. This study investigated changes in the attraction of parasitized borers to light. We compared the attraction of adult H. hampei females (parasitized and uninfected) to 14 different light wavelengths (350–670 nm) with a control (570 nm, yellow) under laboratory conditions. The response ranges of non-parasitized and parasitized borers were 370–650 nm and 340–650 nm, respectively. The attraction curve showed a similar shape in both borer groups (parasitized and non-parasitized), but a wide wavelength range (380–590 nm) attracted more parasitized than non-parasitized borers. The maximum response of the uninfected borers occurred at 520 nm (green), while parasitized borers exhibited three response peaks (380 nm, violet; 460 nm, blue; 520 nm, green). Parasitized borers were significantly more attracted to green light (520 nm) than to the control. The altered attraction to light in borers parasitized by M. hypothenemi is discussed from the perspective of possible host manipulation and the natural prevalence of this parasite.
Deus ex Machina of the War in Ukraine
Authors: Hovorun Cyril 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
A muddy torrent of quasi-theological apocrypha, dicta, narratives, and sermons contributes to what the Russians euphemistically call the “special military operation” in Ukraine. It bursts forth from the quills and lips of senior Orthodox hierarchs, including the Russian patriarch himself, as well as smaller figures who together constitute an eco-system within and around the Moscow Patriarchate including priests, lay theologians and activists. This torrent has swollen and become potent enough to rotate the millstones of war.
Ukrainian Orthodoxy after the Start of Russia´s Great War against Ukraine
Authors: Koshkina Sonya 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The conservative yet diverse religious landscape of Ukraine has been evolving rapidly since February 2022. These developments include the formal renunciation by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC MP) of its connection with the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as the establishing by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) of its monastery in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The number of communities changing their affiliation from UOC MP to OCU has also increased dramatically during this period. The onset of the conflict marked a transformative shift, elevating the role of the church from an internal matter for those directly involved to a significant factor in state policy and security.
Conference Report on Vienna Postgraduate Symposium “War in Ukraine: Ethical, Theological and Historical Reflections”
Authors: Uhryn Olha 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This report takes a detailed and thorough look at the symposium regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine, held at the Faculty of Catholic Theology of the University of Vienna on 13-17 February 2023. Its main focus lies on the presenting views and responses of the religious leaders in Ukraine to the ethical dilemmas and challenges caused by Russia’s war of aggression (2014-present), and attempts at reconciliation and peacebuilding. Besides discussing the statements of the leaders of Christian Churches the report also raises an issue of the involvement of representatives of Muslim communities in the war actions, which underlines the interreligious aspect of the symposium.
Efeito de estratégias funcionais e da abundância de <i>Acacia mangium</i> Willd no número de espécies nativas em um fragmento de floresta secundária no sul do Amapá, Brasil
Authors: Silva Elaene , Matos Darley 
Published: April 2024

Acacia mangium Willd is a fast-growing exotic tree that, when inserted in a different environment, can present an invasive potential in secondary forests. This study aimed to analyze the effect of abundance and functional strategies of A. mangium Willd and edaphic factors on native species richness in a secondary forest fragment located behind the Instituto Federal do Amapá campus Laranjal do Jari, Amapá. For this, all tree individuals with diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 10 cm occurring in 10
plots of 200 m2 distributed in the fragment were identified. Soil samples were collected in the plots and sent for fertility and granulometry analysis. Three leaf functional attributes of individuals of A. mangium Willd occurring in the plots were measured: leaf area (LA), leaf thickness (LT) and specific leaf area (SLA). A total of 145 tree individuals and 14 species were sampled, with A. mangium Willd being the most abundant with 95 individuals. The relative abundance of A. mangium Willd was negatively related to native species richness in the fragment. The species also exhibited distinct leaf attributes and abundances according to the variation in soil acidity and fertility in the fragment, which influenced the number of native species. There is a need to develop monitoring and management of invasive exotic species such as A. mangium Willd in fragments of secondary forests, since the species is invasive and opportunistic, and can inhibit the regeneration of native species after local disturbances.
Environmental Impact Assessment in the context of armed conflicts
Authors: Urban Sergiusz 
Published: April 2024

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a legal, procedural tool that allows to identify, predict, evaluate and prevent or mitigate the impacts of a planned project on the environment. An inherent element of this process is public participation that shall be assured at all times.
EIA is regulated by domestic environmental laws of a given county, but an imminent influence on these regulations is exerted by EU EIA Directive (Directive 2011/92/EU text codified) and international conventions, especially the ESPOO Convention.
EU legislation and international EIA-focused treaties do not determine if armed conflicts affect the EIA procedures and, if the answer is positive, in which way, especially whether the EIA procedure remains required under these exceptional circumstances or it may be postponed until cease of conflict or even omitted.
For this reason, it was of high importance to determine whether EIA-related obligations set by EU and international laws are suspended or remain valid and in force during armed conflicts.
The research revealed that the above-mentioned acts do not have provisions that explicitly regulate the effect of armed conflicts on the obligations relating to the EIA procedures. Furthermore, current jurisprudence and doctrine do not provide clear answer on the scope of application of international environmental law during armed conflict. It is often explained by the fact that environmental law is not yet fully formed in that respect and it is still not commonly agreed how it relates to international humanitarian law.
Based on findings of the research, some conclusions are proposed that aim at providing advise on the application of EIA during armed conflicts and suggestions to supplement discussed bodies of law.
This article will discuss the main results of the study conducted on this important and very up-to-date subject.
Jednostronna euroizacja polskiego prawa dewizowego
Authors: Gorgol Andrzej 
Published: April 2024

Artykuł ma na celu ustalenie zakresu i stopnia unilateralnej euroizacji polskiego prawa dewizowego. Problem badawczy jest analizowany z punktu widzenia aktualnego lub wcześniej stosowanego stanu prawnego. Jednostronna euroizacja polskiego prawa dewizowego trwa już ponad 22 lata i przebiega pod rządem dwóch kolejnych ustaw dewizowych z 1998 r. i 2002 r. Proces ten spowodował zmiany w przepisach dewizowych zarówno ogólnych, jak i szczegółowych. Autor ukierunkował swój wywód na wykazanie trafności tezy, że polskie prawo dewizowe ewoluuje w ten sposób, że zwiększa się stopień jego euroizacji. Przejawia się to m.in. w pozostawieniu rezydentom i nierezydentom możliwości wyboru między euro i walutą polską w celu zastosowania obu lub jednego z tych środków do dokonywania płatności i innych czynności obrotu dewizowego.
Problematyka ekonomii społecznej na tle siatki pojęciowej nauki administracji
Authors: Sylwestrzak Dorota , Małecka-Łyszczek Magdalena 
Published: April 2024

Każda spośród triady nauk administracyjnych (nauka administracji, nauka prawa administracyjnego, polityka administracyjna) w sposób naturalny powinna reagować i ewoluować w zetknięciu z nowymi zjawiskami, które wchodzą w obszar przedmiotu jej badań. Na potrzeby niniejszego artykułu zetknięto pojęcia właściwe nauce administracji z podmiotami przynależnymi do koncepcji ekonomii społecznej. Wynika to z konstatacji, że nauka administracji powinna podążać za zmianami widocznymi w rzeczywistym funkcjonowaniu administracji, takimi jak niepubliczne podmioty administrujące, uspołecznianie, czy też współadministrowanie. Co z tym związane siatka pojęciowa nauki administracji musi być elastyczna i otwarta na nowe instrumentarium, gdyż pole administrowania stale się poszerza.
La fête de l’objet : les signes de participation présents au Musée de l’Homme du Nordeste
Authors: Oliveira Albino , Ruoso Carolina 
Published: April 2024

Le concept de « marché » proposé dans la muséographie d’Aécio de Oliveira et son dialogue avec ce que l’on nomme muséologie sociale sont au centre de la présente recherche. Le Musée de l’Homme du Nordeste (MUHNE) de Recife (Brésil) est le résultat de propositions élaborées et débattues au cours du temps, et non simplement d’un musée inventé en la date de 1979. Ainsi, cet article considère qu’il est essentiel d’étudier les différentes trajectoires des objets qui composent les collections du MUHNE afin que la circulation du patrimoine culturel puisse être cartographiée. Les objets des collections du MUHNE sont les témoins des débats qui ont eu lieu entre plusieurs acteurs, ayant pour préoccupation la préservation de monuments, documents et objets.
Réflexions sur les possibilités de réinventer les musées d’ethnographies en Afrique orientale : réinterroger la notion d’identité et jeter un regard pluriel et contemporain sur la société
Authors: Nzoyihera Edouard 
Published: April 2024

Dans cet article, je propose des pistes par lesquelles les musées Est-Africains peuvent être renouvelés. Il s’agit de réfléchir et de proposer des voies à emprunter pour renforcer l’importance sociale du musée. En considérant la culture « postindépendance » telle qu’elle est mise en scène depuis plus d’une cinquantaine d’années, force est de constater qu’il est indispensable de repenser le discours des musées. Ces musées méritent donc une profonde transformation. Le modèle de musée occidental adopté en bloc doit être soumis à des transformations importantes pour donner naissance à des institutions susceptibles d’assumer leurs raisons d’être. Cet article est donc le résultat de mes lectures variées et de mon analyse sur place des musées du Burundi, du Rwanda, de l’Ouganda et du Kenya. Il ne couvre pas les musées de toute l’Afrique orientale. Outre que ces musées souffrent de l’emprisonnement spatial, ils mettent en scène une société figée.
Community museums and tourism development in Cameroon. A problematic valorization of the territory
Authors: Mariembe Rachel , Ngniguepaha Uriel 
Published: April 2024

Quand on analyse l’environnement culturel au Cameroun, les musées semblent être les institutions qui connaissent un essor considérable. Un peu de partout, ils s’ouvrent. Cette expansion s’explique par la richesse et la diversification du patrimoine culturel camerounais, le développement d’un fort intérêt en faveur de l’identité culturelle et l’insuffisance de l’exposition des œuvres aux publics locaux, le pays étant régulièrement victime du trafic illicite. Cependant, la perception du terme « musée » reste confuse. Pour certains, il renvoie à collections, galeries, réserves, entrepôts. Pourtant, quelques musées, inégalement répartis entre musées publics et musées privés existent. La nécessité s’impose donc d’examiner l’apport de ces derniers pour le développement du tourisme culturel, qui représente 40% du tourisme mondial, au regard du contexte actuel dominé par la crise sanitaire relative au COVID-19. Il est question de réfléchir sur les voies nouvelles de diffusion, de transmission et de médiation culturelle dans les musées, à l’heure où le réseau mondial de connexions devient chaque jour plus complexe, divers et intégré. Autrement, comment développer un tourisme culturel qui satisfait les besoins actuels de tous les acteurs, en protégeant et en améliorant les perspectives pour l’avenir ? La réponse à ce questionnement se présente comme une sorte d’oxymore éclaté en quatre parties à savoir : cadre conceptuel, théorique et légal des musées au Cameroun ; diagnostic des activités de diffusion et de médiation culturelle dans les musées ; quelles missions, quels programmes pour des musées ethnographiques ; nouvelles voies de médiation numérique.
Features of subtext in E. Hemingway and R. Carver’s dialogues (based on the analysis of their short stories)
Authors: Kharrasova E. A. 
Published: April 2024

The article provides a comparative analysis of the implication features used in the dialogues of the stories by Ernest Hemingway and Raymond Carver, his follower of the second half of the 20th century. Our analysis is based on their texts written in different years. Employing specific examples, we analyzed the authors’ work on the use of the main subtext elements: A pause or silence, incompleteness and repetitions. The highlighted elements of the implication allow us to make conclusions about the direct influence of Hemingway on the poetics of Raymond Carver’s stories. The comparison of the presented techniques illustrates the authors’ strategies used for the emotional involvement of the reader in the process of deciphering the text, as well as the desire to compress the text without losing its semantic depth.The relevance of the article is determined by the growing interest in the realistic short story, in particular, in the creative legacy of Raymond Carver. The articles and works, devoted to his prose and poetic works, continue to appear in foreign and Russian literary criticism. The analysis of the subtext peculiarities in dialogues allows us to contribute to the study of dialogue strategies, which in the 20th-century literature perform the plot-moving function and disclose psychological characteristics of the character. In addition, the comparative analysis of the writers’ stories helps understand the features of Raymond Carver’s creative method.The methodological basis of the article is the cultural-historical and comparative methods.
Khlebnikov in China
Authors: Luo Yu. , Bekmetov R. F. 
Published: April 2024

The question of how Velimir Khlebnikov’s work was perceived in China is among the little studied ones. We have a definite idea of the forms the Chinese theme took in Khlebnikov’s philosophical and aesthetic consciousness as a part of the general orientalist views of the Russian futurist poet. At the same time, the problem of the actual Chinese development of V. Khlebnikov’s artistic heritage (the dialogue among cultures presupposes their two-way connection, interlacement of assessments and judgments) remains open. Thus, the article highlights the most relevant literary and translation aspects of V. Khlebnikov’s reception by the Chinese.These two aspects of research are traditionally closely related, regardless of national culture issues. The measure and depth of literary interest in foreign-language poetry is determined by the volume of translated texts; in a similar degree, the stability and quality of translation corresponds to the literary vector of the foreign word perception. For the Russian research into Far Eastern literature, this state of affairs is quite axiomatic (since without a preliminary theoretical and historical-literary, as well as hermeneutic analyses, it is impossible to truly understand the poetics of ancient Chinese or medieval Japanese lyrical poetry; all other approaches will be considered amateurish with good reason, which, however, does not exclude the presence of a special, “naïve” charm of these translations from Chinese or Japanese, taken in isolation from the original). The above thesis is also applicable to the Chinese research into Russian literature (Chinese studies of Russian literature), which has been intensively developing in recent years.The article traces the stages in scientific and philological studies of V. Khlebnikov’s work in China, explains the reasons for Chinese interest in the Silver Age in general and the work of the author of the “Khadzhi Tarkhan” in particular, analyzes the strategies of individual translations of Khlebnikov’s poems into Chinese, taking into account the increased complexity in the transmission of “zaum'” by means of the linguistic system so strikingly different in its internal structure and writing system from Russian.
Assessment features for complexity of educational texts for schoolchildren
Authors: Dontsov M. A. 
Published: April 2024

It is extremely important to choose an appropriate material for the students learning a foreign language. Hence the issues of studying the complexity of academic texts, their readability and their compliance with the level of language proficiency is of outmost importance. At this point, one can note the inevitable interconnection between linguistics and teaching methods. An educational text is a special type of secondary text that has a number of important functions, among which, first of all, there are informative, cognitive and cultural-logical ones. This type of text both contains new information and has an educational and developmental effect on students.The difficulty of text as well as its readability and complexity are crucial for text understanding. The evaluation of academic texts difficulty is closely connected with consideration of other characteristics. However, there are no widely accepted definitions of such concepts as “difficulty”, “complexity” and “readability” in contemporary linguistics. They are unreasonably used as synonymic notions. That is why the purpose of this article is to more clearly distinguish between these characteristics of the text. The features of complexity assessment of educational texts are revealed on the basis of their key characteristics.The study of educational texts’ complexity was conducted by using secondary school textbooks on physics. The text analysis was performed with the help of the automated analyzer Rulingva. This study demonstrates the capabilities of this program and presents the results of the analysis, which suggest that the use of Rulingva analyzer could be beneficial not only for linguists, but also for educators, measurement and control materials developers and those preparing for state exams in various academic disciplines.
