LIGHT IN THE WORKS OF GIACOMO BALLA IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF LIGHT ART GENESIS
Authors: Spiridonova Anna M. 
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted tо the specific question in Russian art history – to the problem of light in the works of J. Balla from the perspective of Light art genesis. The insufficiently researched genesis of light art .in Modernism and Italian Futurism is followed by the incomplete understanding of phenomenon. This circumstance requires an appeal to the historical roots of Light art, particularly, to the period when artists started including artificial light into the practice of fine art and started using it as a medium.
As a result of the research in the art of J. Balla the genesis of Light art has been revealed. The article examines the consistent change in the approach to light in the main futuristic manifestos and works of art. In Balla’s paintings of the 1910s, light was used as an image and element of art, while in plastic complexes and scenography of the theatrical production “Fireworks” it was used as a material (medium). The ballet “Fireworks” is proposed to be considered as prototypical work of light art. The results of the study can be used in the art historical research and cultural analysis of the history and modernity of light art. The research methodology is based on the art historical analysis of texts and works of art, as well as on the comparative method.
THE CONCEPT OF THE NATIONAL HERO «QUONAKH» IN PAINTING AND GRAPHICS DURING THE CHECHEN CRISIS (90S OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY)
Authors: Khamzatova Zarema R. 
Published: February 2024

The paper is devoted to the research and study of the artistic interpretation of the concept of “Quonakh” (national hero) in Chechen painting and graphics in the 1990s.
The novelty of the paper is the appeal to the origins of the concept of “Quonakh” in the works of Chechen artists, which found manifestation in certain historical conditions, respectively. The chronological scope of the study covers the period of the so-called “the First Chechen War” or the operation to restore constitutional order in Chechnya (1994-1996) and the post-war years (1996-1999). In the visual culture of this time, images of national leaders appear, carrying at this stage not so much an aesthetic, but an ideological load. Beybulat Taimiev, Zelimkhan Kharachoevsky, Baysangur Benoevsky and other heroes become, in a certain sense, symbols of Chechen culture and are still present in it to nowadays.
Heroic images (in their close connection with the most important national concept), embodied in the interpretation of Chechen artists of the late 90s (XX century), are analyzed. The most professionally executed and deep in content works of Sultan Abaev, Kharon Isaev, Said Bitziraev, Khasan Sediev, which are characterized not only by a patriotic orientation, but also by a veiled form of perception of the atmosphere of modernity, were selected for the research.
The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the structural and semantic features of the image-concept “Quonakh” and its reflection in professional national fine arts, which is very important in the context of not only Chechen, but also Russian culture. The methodology is based on art criticism, comparative and system-constructive analysis. The use of the historical-biographical method allows us to trace the influence of specific historical personalities on the process of creating a pictorial image.
The conclusions of the study include the recapitulation about the possibilities of “artistic and figurative interpretation of philosophical concepts” that contribute to the creation of new artistic realities by transmitting feelings of heroism, patriotism, honor, using educational techniques based on the traditions of the Chechens/Nokhchiis. The image-concept “Quonakh” is one of the axiological dominants on which the existence of a distinctive ethnic culture is based. In fact, real “Chechenness”, as a property of the national character, is manifested by the presence in it of connections with the “Quonakhalla” code.
THE ANALYSIS OF THE ARTISTIC AND GRAPHIC DESIGN OF THE HUMOROUS MAGAZINE «BALDA» IN THE CONTEXT OF SPECIALIZED EDITIONS OF THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY
Authors: Sheveleva Svetlana N. 
Published: February 2024

The article presents an analysis of the artistic and graphic design of the only satirical and caricature magazine of printing and bookbinding workers «Balda» published in Russia. As result of the all the published issues, the reader’s address of the magazine was identified, as well as its technical characteristics were determined. After studying all three issues of the magazine, it was revealed how much textual information was printed, how much textual information was accompanied by drawings and how many percent of the magazine contained drawings as independent material. The features of graphic and compositional techniques used in the design of the magazine are analyzed. The article identifies the main features of the title complex “Baldy”, describes the fonts used. Fonts definitely have which group they belong to, font size, font type, density, saturation. The graphic and decorative elements used in the design of the magazine are described, with the help of which its original and memorable style is formed.
Only three issues of «Balda» magazine were published: on January 1, 1907 – No. 1, on January 9, 1907 – No. 2, on January 16, 1907 – No. 3. Some of the magazine’s circulations were confiscated. Despite the fact, that the arrest of the magazine was later lifted, the editorial board decided to close the magazine «Balda» by starting to publish the satirical, humorous and caricature magazine of the workers of the printing and bookbinding business «Topor». There were two numbers that were confiscated later too.
The purpose of the study is to identify trends in the artistic and graphic concept of specialized magazines in order to develop quality criteria for relevant publications.
The method and methodology of the work: the basis of the research is the principle of a systematic approach, as well as matrix, analytical, thematic and typographic methods.
The practical significance of this work lies in the possibility of using the data obtained when creating new journals, as well as for adapting existing ones to modern requirements.
In pre-revolutionary Russia, many specialized magazines were published intended for workers in the printing industry and bookbinding but only «Balda» and «Topor» magazines remain the only humorous, satirical and caricature magazines, which makes them a unique source of both historical, cultural and artistic information.

Published: February 2024

Background
Therapeutic patient education interventions are influenced by contextual factors. Therefore, describing the context is crucial to understanding how it can affect therapeutic patient education interventions and contribute to outcomes. We aimed to identify the contextual features that may affect the outcome and sustainability of therapeutic patient education interventions from a healthcare professional perspective.

Methods
Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals involved in 14 therapeutic patient education interventions covering different chronic conditions (e.g., kidney and cardiovascular diseases, chronic pain, diabetes, obesity). Interviews were recorded and fully transcribed. We followed a general inductive approach to identify themes from healthcare professionals’ discourse to properly capture their perception.

Results
Saturation was achieved with 28 interviews with 20 nurses, 6 dieticians, one physiotherapist and one psychologist. The average therapeutic patient education experience was 7 years. Identified contextual features clustered in 5 main themes: 1) conditions for the development of the intervention (genesis of the program: Who and what prompted it?; supports; content development; legislative framework); 2) integration of the program (in the healthcare pathway or the environment, relationship with the institution or local environment); 3) teamwork cohesion, interaction and integration with the environment (exchanges, cohesion of the team); 4) sustainability of the program; and 5) patient and healthcare professional contextual factors.

Conclusion
New insights into contextual features that may be involved in therapeutic patient education interventions are represented in a framework based on the Medical Research Council evaluation framework. These features need to be addressed in studies of therapeutic patient education interventions and could help healthcare professionals build more effective interventions within the context. However, describing a list of elements of the context is not enough; analyses should also focus on how the contextual elements might affect an intervention and how they interact.

Published: February 2024

Objective
To identify latent classes of positive coping behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine associations with alcohol-related and mental health outcomes across participants with and without a history of alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Methods
Baseline data from 463 participants who were enrolled in the NIAAA COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Alcohol (C19-PIA) Study were analyzed. Latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to five positive coping behaviors during COVID-19: taking media breaks, taking care of their body, engaging in healthy behaviors, making time to relax, and connecting with others. Latent class differences and the moderating role of history of AUD on six alcohol-related and mental health outcomes were examined using multiple regression models.

Results
LCA revealed two latent classes: 83.4% High Positive Coping and 16.6% Low Positive Coping. Low Positive Coping was associated with higher levels of perceived stress, anxiety symptoms, and loneliness. A history of AUD was consistently associated with higher levels of alcohol-related and mental health outcomes. Significant interactions between Coping Latent Classes and history of AUD indicated that the associations of Low Positive Coping with problematic alcohol use, depressive symptoms, and drinking to cope motives were either stronger or only significant among individuals with a history of AUD.

Conclusions
Individuals with a history of AUD may be particularly vulnerable to depressive symptoms and alcohol-related outcomes, especially when they do not utilize positive coping strategies. The promotion of positive coping strategies is a promising avenue to address alcohol-related and mental health problems during a public health crisis and warrants future research.
Corporate Social Responsibility in China: A Tool of Policy Implementation
Authors: Zeng Jie 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in China is a result of political, regulatory, and administrative pressures and civil society pressures. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plays a dominant role in deciding the content of CSR, while the other influences are rather limited. As a result, Chinese CSR has not only voluntary and explicit elements but also mandatory and implicit elements. On the one hand, companies can perform CSR in a way that aligns with their commercial interests. On the other, CSR is a response to the CCP’s political pressure, while corporate failure to satisfy the requirements can result in serious negative impacts on companies’ business. In China, CSR has moved far from its origins as a tool of reputation enhancement and assumed a sui generis meaning as a tool of policy implementation. CSR has been evolving towards legal requirements in other jurisdictions as well, such as the EU. However, in China, the main force behind CSR comes from the CCP, which wields legislative and administrative power to promote CSR in a way that aligns with its political interests.

Published: February 2024

Resumen

Objetivos
En algunos casos de infecciones, es frecuente observar inclusiones gigantes en los leucocitos. Sin embargo, estas inclusiones también pueden estar relacionadas con trastornos genéticos raros, como el síndrome de Chédiak–Higashi (SCH). Para realizar un diagnóstico diferencial entre estos grupos de patologías, es necesario realizar estudios genéticos específicos. Dada la dificultad y especifidad de la confirmación diagnóstica, es esencial analizar los antecedentes clínicos y patológicos del paciente, con el fin de obtener una orientación diagnóstica.

Caso clínico
Presentamos el caso de un paciente de tres años de edad con infecciones respiratorias recurrentes. Cabe señalar la presencia de un mechón de cabello blanco en la parte frontal de la cabeza, así como algunas áreas de hipopigmentación en la piel. En el frotis sanguíneo, destacó la presencia de grandes gránulos citoplasmáticos en todos los leucocitos, especialmente en los neutrófilos.

Conclusiones
El SHC es un trastorno genético poco frecuente, causado por una mutación en el gen LYST situado en el cromosoma 1q42.3, que codifica la proteína LYST. También se puede realizar un estudio genético molecular para detectar las variantes bialélicas del gen LYST. Ante resultados alterados en los valores cuantitativos y/o cualitativos en el hemograma completo, el primer paso del algoritmo diagnóstico incluye realizar un frotis de sangre periférica.
Industrial Technology Boundary, Product Quality Choice, and Market Segmentation
Authors: Ma Haoxing 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This paper studies how firms in a duopoly market choose product qualities when facing two types of consumers: high-end consumers value quality more than low-end consumers. Firms’ highest possible quality (referred to as industrial technology boundary) is determined by an industrial common technology. I consider price competition and show that in equilibrium, an increase in the technology boundary can induce a decrease in the equilibrium quality of one firm. In this case, the firms enlarge their quality difference, triggering a market segmentation. In this market segmentation, the firm with a lower quality does not serve the high-end consumers and obtains higher profits from the low-end consumers, whereas the firm with a higher quality supplies both types of consumers and obtains higher profits as well. This market segmentation causes additional mismatch costs for high-end consumers, therefore lowering both consumer and social surplus.
State-of-the-art model for derivation of analytical performance specifications: how to define the highest level of analytical performance technically achievable
Authors: Borrillo Francesca , Panteghini Mauro 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
To be accurate and equivalent among assays, laboratory results should be traceable to higher-order references and their quality should fulfill maximum allowable measurement uncertainty (MU) as defined to fit the intended clinical use. Accordingly, laboratory professionals should estimate and validate MU of performed tests using appropriate analytical performance specifications (APS). Current consensus supports the derivation of APS by using one of the three models established by the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) Strategic Conference held in Milan in 2014. It is recognized that some models are better suited for certain measurands than for others and the attention should be primarily directed towards their biological and clinical characteristics. Among others, model 3 should reflect the state of the art of the measurements that can be defined as the best analytical performance that is technically achievable. Taking serum C-reactive protein and ferritin as examples, here we describe the theoretical premises and the experimental protocol to be used to derive APS for MU when a measurand is allocated to this model. Although the model lacks a direct relationship with clinical outcomes, useful information about the in vitro diagnostic medical device performance and the average quality of provided results may be obtained.

Abstract

Objectives
Early sepsis detection and diagnosis still constitutes an open issue since the accuracy of standard-of care parameters is biased by a series of perinatal factors including hypoxia. Therefore, we aimed at investigating the effect of fetal chronic hypoxia insult on urine levels of a promising new marker of sepsis, namely presepsin (P-SEP).

Methods
We conducted a prospective case-control study in 22 cases of early-intrauterine growth restriction (E-IUGR) compared with 22 small-for-gestational-age (SGA) newborns and 66 healthy controls. P-SEP urine samples were collected over the first 72 h from birth. Blood culture and C-reactive protein (CRP) blood levels were measured in E-IUGR and SGA infants. Perinatal standard monitoring parameters and main outcomes were also recorded.

Results
No significant urinary P-SEP differences (p>0.05, for all) were observed among studied groups. Moreover, no significant correlations (p>0.05, for both) between urinary P-SEP and blood CRP levels in both E-IUGR and SGA groups (R=0.08; R=0.07, respectively) were observed.

Conclusions
The present results showing the lack of influence of fetal chronic hypoxia on urinary P-SEP levels offer additional data to hypothesize the possible use of urinary P-SEP measurement in neonates in daily clinical practice. Further multicenter prospective data are needed, including infants with early-onset sepsis.

High-temperature production of AlN in Mg alloys with ammonia gas
Authors: Reddy Ramana G. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study was to produce composites with a uniform distribution of aluminum nitride (AlN) reinforcing particles in the magnesium (Mg) metal matrix composites. In this study, experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of time and temperature on the nitridation of aluminum to form AlN and its distribution in Mg composites. High-temperature production of AlN in Mg alloys melts using the ammonia gas bubbling method was investigated. The effect of ammonia bubbling time and temperature at a flow rate of 0.1 liters per minute on the amount of AlN formation was studied. Bubbling of ammonia gas resulted in the in-situ formation of AlN in Mg alloys, yielding AlN-reinforced Mg alloy composites. The AlN formation in the alloy was increased with increasing bubbling time. The rate of AlN formation was found to be 0.34 g·min−1 at 1,073 K. An average yield of AlN (wt%) was 6.47, 29.65, and 27.43 at 973, 1,073, and 1,173 K, respectively. An activation energy of 59.57 kJ was determined for the nitridation process. The magnitude of activation energy indicates that the reaction proceeds in the mixed regime with control of both nucleation and interface diffusion. The product was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The characterization of samples showed that the AlN particles distributed throughout the alloy matrix. The AlN particles formed in-situ are small in size, and uniform dispersion of AlN particles was observed at higher bubbling times and at higher temperatures. The AlN crystallite size increased with an increase in bubbling time and temperature. The XRD characterization results showed that the composite formed in-situ was composed of (Mg), intermetallic γ-(Mg, Al), and AlN phases. The Rockwell hardness of the in-situ composites was higher than the un-reinforced Mg alloy, and the hardness increased with an increase in the AlN wt% in the Mg alloy composites.
Sorption-catalysis-enhanced effects of crab shell derived CaO-based biochar addition on the pyrolysis of waste cooking oil fried sludge
Authors: Li Yanhua , Wu Long , Xu Qing , Li Zhanyong 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In order to promote the yield and calorific value of combustible gas products in the pyrolysis, a CaO-based biochar (CSC) derived from waste crab shell was used as a low-cost sorption-enhanced catalyst to enhance oil-fried sludge (OS) pyrolysis. The effects of CSC addition and pyrolysis temperature on OS pyrolysis characteristics were analyzed in detail. The results indicated that adding CSC significantly enhanced OS pyrolysis and produced more combustible gas products with CO2 removal. At 700 °C, adding CSC promoted the combustible gas yields and greatly reduced CO2 by 96.9 %. And the corresponding LHV of pyrolysis gas products increased by 26.8 % and reached up to 33.7 MJ/N m3. Additionally, TG-FTIR analysis revealed that adding CSC reduced the formation temperature of CH4. Importantly, although there was only 35.5 wt% of Ca in CSC, CSC exhibited almost the same sorption-catalysis-enhanced effects compared to pure CaO. These findings suggest that biochar derived from crab shell has the potential to replace CaO for enhancing sludge pyrolysis into value-added fuel products.
