Rendition of σώφρων and σωφροσύνη in Ukrainian translations of the New Testament
Authors: Levko Oleksandr 
Published: August 2023

Summary
The article focuses on the rendition of the key words of the Christian ethical vocabulary σώφρων and σωφροσύνη in Ukrainian translations of the New Testament in comparison with other East Slavic translations in synchronic and diachronic dimensions. The σώφρων word group covers a range of “intellectual” and “moral” meanings in Ancient Greek, which continue to evolve in Hellenistic Greek to denote ‘soundness of mind’, ‘prudence’, ‘discretion’, ‘good sense’, on the one hand, and ‘moderation’, ‘self-control’, ‘temperance’, ‘restraint’, ‘decency’, ‘modesty’, on the other. Retaining such polysemy in the New Testament, the σώφρων word group also displays various connotations depending on gender, age and social status. The Old Slavonic and Church Slavonic calques of the σώφρων word group mostly accentuate its “moral” meanings, especially the meanings of ‘chastity’ and ‘purity’, which evolve in Christian ascetic literature after the New Testament, although in some cases they retain their primary “intellectual” meanings.
The article also explores the use of semantic equivalents of the σώφρων word group in Old Ukrainian, Old Russian and Old Belarusian based on corpora data and historical written monuments. We came to the conclusion that Ukrainian biblical translations of the 19th to early 21st century, as well as some Russian and Belarusian translations, generally take into consideration the polysemy of the σώφρων word group in the New Testament, though a great extent of variability of equivalents and a lack of consistent reproduction of gender and age connotations are observed. We argue that the use of certain moral equivalents of the σώφρων word group in modern East Slavic translations (in particular, Ukrainian цнотливий, цнотливість, цнота, Russian целомудренный and Belarusian цнатлівий) is inappropriate due to the resulting narrowing of their meanings to ‘innocence’, ‘virginity’ and ‘sexual purity’.

The objective of this research was to identify bacteria present in the microbiota of dentinal carious lesions in primary molars of some Costa Rican pediatric patients. Data were collected from 15 children aged between 4 and 8 years old who attended the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry from the University of Costa Rica (UCR). The inclusion criteria were: infants between 4 and 8 years old who presented cavitated carious lesions in primary teeth, who were actively attended by students at the Faculty of Dentistry from the UCR, and whose parents or legal guardians signed the informed consent to participate in this research. Samples were taken using a sterile spoon, placed in storage vials, and subjected to various conventional and molecular microbial identification techniques, such as Gram stain identification, catalase tests, oxidase, TSI, API 20E, API STAPH, and VITEK 2. Of the 60 bacterial strains subjected to Gram staining, the following was obtained: 28 Gram-positive bacteria and 32 Gram-negative bacteria. The main isolated organisms were species of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pasteurella pneumotropica/Mannheimia haemolytica, Pantoea spp, and Streptococcus mutans.

Artificial intelligence technologies are actively used to solve both general and highly specialized tasks. In the process of assessing (identifying) the condition of complex and heterogeneous objects, there is a high degree of a priori uncertainty regarding their condition and a small amount of initial data describing them. The trends of armed conflicts of the last decades and the regularities of the development of information systems, convincingly indicate the need to change approaches to the collection of information from various sources and their analysis. There is a constant transformation of the forms of information presentation and the order of storage and access to various types of data. The problem of integrating disparate sources of information collection into a single information space is also not fully resolved.
That is why the issue of improving the efficiency of assessing the state of complex and heterogeneous dynamic objects is an important and urgent issue. The objects of research are heterogeneous dynamic objects. The subject of the research is the identification of the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects. In the research, the method of identifying the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects was developed. The novelty of the proposed method consists in:
‒ taking into account the degree of uncertainty about the state of a heterogeneous dynamic object;
‒ taking into account the degree of data noise as a result of distortion of data characterizing the state of a heterogeneous dynamic object;
‒ reducing computing costs while assessing the state of heterogeneous dynamic objects;
‒ the possibility of performing calculations with source data that are different in nature and units of measurement.
It is advisable to implement the mentioned method in specialized software, which is used to analyze the state of complex technical systems and make decisions.
Determination of the influence of temperature, concentration of ferric oxides and oxidative conditions of glass boiling on the displacement of the equilibrium of ferric oxides Fе2O3↔FеO
Authors: Plemiannikov Mykola , Zhdanіuk Nataliіa 
Published: August 2023

The object of research is the state of equilibrium of ferrum(II) and ferrum(III) oxides in glass melts at temperatures of 1000–1400 °С, welded in oxidizing, neutral and reducing conditions with a content of ferrum oxides up to 1.5 %.
This problem is relevant in the following aspects.
The first aspect of this problem is the unwanted coloring of the glass: FeO colors the glass blue, and Fe2O3 – yellow. The combined presence of ferrum(II) oxide and ferrum(III) oxide determines the gradations of glass shades that fall on the green spectrum.
The second aspect concerns the thermophysics of processes of boiling glasses containing iron oxides. Ferrum(II) oxide causes a strong absorption band of infrared radiation in the region of 1.1 μm. This becomes an obstacle to the volumetric heating of glass in the processes of cooking, forming, and annealing.
The third aspect of the problem concerns the structure of glasses and glass-crystalline materials with an increased content of iron oxides. Iron oxides significantly affect the processes of glass structuring, as ferrum(III) oxide is a typical network former, and ferrum(II) oxide is a typical modifier.
The state of FeO↔Fe2O3 equilibrium in glass is significantly influenced by the glass cooking environment, the total amount of iron oxides, and the temperature of the melt. The glass brewing environment has the greatest influence on the balance of iron oxides in the glass. The share of FeO oxide in the total amount of iron oxides (FeO+Fe2O3) increases sharply when moving from an oxidizing medium to a neutral one and then to a reducing one. During thermostating at a temperature of 1400 °С, the proportion of FeO in the glass increases by 1.4–1.7 times during cooking in an oxidizing environment, by 1.2–1.3 times in a neutral environment, and by approximately 1.1 times in a reducing environment. At the same time, this growth is more noticeable in glasses with a lower iron content.
Thus, the equilibrium state of FeO↔Fe2O3 in glass significantly affects the technological and operational properties of silicate melts and the final glass. The ratio of formed oxides of trivalent and divalent ferrum was studied by chemical (titrometric) analysis.
The research results can be used in practice to develop the composition of glasses with an increased content of iron oxides.
Birds of SABAP2 pentad 2915_2555 on the Jagersfontein Road, south-west of Bloemfontein, Free State
Authors: De Swardt Dawie 
Published: August 2023

This paper describes results of a bird survey done at Pentad 2915_2555 on the Jagersfontein road south-west of Bloemfontein between April 2008 and January 2023. A total of 197 species have been recorded from mainly 169 full-protocol SABAP2 cards (162 done by author) and more than 30 ad hoc lists. The seasonality of waterbird species is discussed based on responses and occurrences after the rainfall seasons. Higher reporting rates were obtained for species such as Yellow-billed Ducks (49.7%), Red-billed Teals (37.9%) and White-faced Whistling Ducks (32.0%) during the summer months, which were sometimes still present into the drier winter months. Spur-winged Goose (39.6%) and Egyptian Goose (69.2%) also have high reporting occurrences, although South African Shelducks showed a more seasonal occurrence with lower reporting rates (17.8%). The seasonality of winter visiting species such as Swallow-tailed Bee eater and Sickle-winged Chats is discussed. Sickle-winged Chats were mostly observed in the area between April–August preferring low shrubs in open patches in grassland and on gravel roads. Swallow-tailed Bee eater were observed in the Buddleja sp. bush areas on the slope of the hill at the Praalhoek farm between May and July. The seasonal occurrence of Melodeuis Larks, which starts singing after the first summer rains, is also discussed. The ongoing monitoring of bird populations through the SABAP2 project (and with other platforms such as the Virtual Museum digitization projects) is emphasized and therefore the importance of monitoring bird populations over time.
An Inconvenient Apocalpse, Environmental Collapse, Climate Crisis, and the Fate of Humanity
Authors: Keller Harold W. 
Published: August 2023

The evolutionary history of humans, known by the scientific name Homo sapiens (wise man), is the last living representative of a long fossil lineage of human-like populations. This book explores the wisdom of the current human populations, whose eight billion plus population growth and spread dominates present-day earth, and the possibility that these sheer numbers if left unchecked without the right choices, may sooner or later, destroy planet earth and perhaps go extinct. This book explores the questions posing human survival. Therefore, if you care about the survival of the most recent human species, you must read this book and consider the options that confront the future of our existence. Many other life forms that make up living components of ecosystems have gone extinct, and/or have merged with other extant species, so will human evolution follow the same time course?

The remoteness and difficulty of access make visiting these islands particularlyrewarding. They are truly the only coastlines in California where one can explore a pre-Columbian habitat insolitude. This is a plant guide first and foremost, but it has sketches of the geology, archaeology, tide pools, reptiles,birds, and mammals of the islands. It has been written to showcase and promote the impressive and staggeringbeauty, diversity, and uniqueness of these islands for all who visit them. Knowledge of the natural historyof the Channel Islands and their evolutionary relationships offers not just a delight, but a deeper understanding,connection, and awe of our natural world.
The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s
Authors: Press BRIT 
Published: August 2023

From the Publisher: Set amid the glimmering lakes and disappearing forests of the early United States, TheForest imagines how a wide variety of Americans experienced their lives. Part truth, part fiction, and featuringboth real and invented characters, the book follows painters, poets, enslaved people, farmers, and artisansliving and working in a world still made largely of wood. Some of the historical characters—such as ThomasCole, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Fanny Kemble, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nat Turner—are wellknown,while others are not. But all are creators of private and grand designs. The Forest unfolds in brief stories. Each episode reveals an intricate lost world. Characters cross paths orgo their own ways, each striving for something different but together forming a pattern of life. For AlexanderNemerov, the forest is a description of American society, the dense and discontinuous woods of nation, thefoliating thoughts of different people, each with their separate shade and sun. Through vivid descriptions ofthe people, sights, smells, and sounds of Jacksonian America, illustrated with paintings, prints, and photographs,The Forest brings American history to life on a human scale.
Doris Dana, traductora de Gabriela Mistral: autocensura, ethos traductor y amor romántico
Authors: Madrigal Elena 
Published: August 2023

Doris Dana fue pionera en traducir y publicar, además de un par de fábulas dirigidas a la infancia, la primera selección de poesía de Gabriela Mistral, trabajo que marcaría los derroteros de retraducciones sucesivas en inglés, algunas de las cuales autorizó por haber sido albacea de la escritora. A pesar de su trascendencia para la difusión de la obra de la única latinoamericana en recibir el Premio Nobel, una serie de incógnitas y contradicciones rodean su perfil traductor y muy poco se aprecia su trabajo. A partir de la definición de autocensura propuesta por Francesca Billiani, y del mecanismo de la censura internalizada descrito por Pierre Bourdieu, en el artículo se plantea que Dana silenció su figura y demeritó su obra traductora debido al estigma de inmoralidad que pesaría sobre la relación lésbica que sostuvo con Mistral y cuyos alcances distarían de ser halagüeños. Para finalmente reflexionar sobre el filón de lo privado en la autocensura traductora, se hace necesario recopilar un mínimo de datos para delinear la formación y las capacidades que sustentaron la labor traductora y editorial de Dana. Asimismo, se contrastan detenidamente su versión de “La otra” con las de Maria Giachetti, Ursula K. Le Guin y Randall Couch, y se comentan las traducciones de las fábulas mistralianas. Como recurso para resarcir la voz translaticia de Doris Dana, proponemos subrayar su filigrana en la atención al detalle y a la rendición integral del texto —consecuentes, a su vez, con un conocimiento profundo de la obra de Mistral—.

Published: August 2023

Introducción: el tumor fibroso solitario de pleura es una patología poco frecuente, benigno y de crecimiento lento, puede presentarse a cualquier edad y en un 10% de casos registra malignidad. Es asintomático al inicio, pero puede crecer al punto de comprimir la vía aérea ocasionando severa dificultad respiratoria.
Caso clínico: paciente de 56 años de edad con disnea de medianos esfuerzos que progresó a pequeños esfuerzos, diagnosticado de un tumor fibroso solitario de pleura hace 8 años, negándose a tratamiento quirúrgico en aquel tiempo. Acude al servicio de cirugía torácica por exacerbación de disnea, asociado a tos, estridor y dolor torácico; en radiografía y tomografía de tórax se observó imagen compatible con tumor en hemitórax izquierdo con desviación de la tráquea hacia el lado contralateral. Se realiza resección de masa con evolución favorable.
Conclusiones: paciente con tumor fibroso solitario de pleura diagnosticado hace 8 años que empeora sintomatología respiratoria, se confirma el diagnóstico por imágenes, realizándose resección quirúrgica que por el tamaño obligó a ampliar el campo de intervención, se extrae la masa y ante atelectasia residual se realizan maniobras de expansión pulmonar con éxito, es dado de alta sin complicaciones.
Niestabilne parlamenty. Chwiejność wewnątrzparlamentarna w Serbii i Wojwodinie w latach 2016–2020
Authors: Domagała Katarzyna 
Published: August 2023

Głównym celem niniejszej monografii było przeanalizowanie genezy skali oraz dynamiki zjawiska fluktuacji w wykonywaniu mandatu deputowanego do Zgromadzenia Narodowego Republiki Serbii oraz Zgromadzenia Autonomicznej Prowincji Wojwodiny. Analizie poddane zostały parlamenty na poziomie centralnym i regionalnym, chcąc dowiedzieć się, na ile fluktuacje w sprawowaniu mandatu deputowanych interferują w Serbii na tych dwóch poziomach (innymi słowy: jak często deputowani regionalni „przechodzą” do parlamentu krajowego – i na odwrót). Celem dodatkowym pracy było także prześledzenie dynamiki w ewolucji systemów partyjnych Serbii i Wojwodiny, by wykazać, że w istocie systemy te pozostają sfragmentaryzowane i ekstremalnie spolaryzowane, co ma znaczenie dla skali i dynamiki fluktuacji w wykonywaniu mandatów deputowanych.
Analizując fluktuacje wewnątrzparlamentarne na poziomie osobowym, zbadane zostały zarówno zmiany afiliacji partyjnych (party-switching), jak i zastąpienia deputowanych wynikłe z wygaśnięcia mandatu przed upływem kadencji (replacement). Dotychczasowe ustalenia badaczy – skupione wokół systemów demokracji skonsolidowanej oraz parlamentów na poziomie krajowym – odniesione zostały do przypadku demokracji nieskonsolidowanej oraz do parlamentów na różnych poziomach: centralnym i regionalnym.
Spectrum of neuroendocrine neoplasms of GIT – a histomorphological study in a tertiary care centre
Authors: Muralidhar Aparna , Mahadevan Pushpa 
Published: August 2023

Background. Neuroendocrine neoplasms are diverse in terms of sites of origin, functional status, and degrees of aggressiveness. Since neuroendocrine cells are ubiquitous in the human body, these neoplasms can arise in different organs, with gastrointestinal tract being most frequently involved. The past few years have seen a surge in the diagnosis of these neoplasms, which were earlier considered to be rare. Their nomenclature, classification, and diagnostic criteria are revamped frequently, as new knowledge emerges.
Aim. To study the histopathological spectrum of neuroendocrine neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract and assess the immunohistochemical expression of neuroendocrine markers in them.
Material and methods. Ours is a descriptive study of the distribution and pathologic characteristics of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms in a tertiary care hospital in Kerala, over a three year period. Neoplasms were categorised based on 2019 updated WHO classification.
Results. Among the 59 cases, we observed a male predominance. (Male to female ratio - 1.8:1). Most patients were in 6th and 7th decades of life. Duodenum was most frequently involved followed by rectum and appendix. NET G2 and G1 constituted the predominant histologic grades (47% and 24% respectively). NEC and MiNEN were infrequent. All cases were positive for synaptophysin, with variable positivity for chromogranin. Ki67 helped establish the histologic grade. We also came across a rare case of neuroendocrine tumor with coexisting mucinous neoplasm in appendix.
Conclusions. With evolving knowledge and advanced imaging modalities, the incidence of these neoplasms is increasing with time. Histopathology is the mainstay of diagnosis and plays a decisive role in influencing management protocols and prognosis.
Phyllanthus amarus protects against potassium-dichromate pituitary toxicity via the oxidative pathway and improves the gonadotropins in male Wistar rats

Published: August 2023

Background. Phyllanthus amarus is an antioxidant plant with numerous beneficial biological activities, but scarce information on its neuroprotective role against potassium dichromate (PDC)-induced neurotoxicity. This research investigated the antioxidant effect of aqueous Phyllanthus amarus leaf extract (APALE) on PDC-induced rats.
Materials and methods. Fifty male Wistar rats (120-130g) were randomized into five groups (A-E, n=10). Group A: (Control) distilled water; B: 300mg/kg APALE; C: 17mg/kg PDC; D: 17mg/kg PDC + 400mg/kg APALE; E: 17mg/kg PDC + 200mg/kg APALE. Administrations were once daily via an orogastric cannula for 28 consecutive days. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were obtained for hormonal assay (FSH and LH). The animals were euthanized, and pituitary glands were harvested and homogenized for Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT), Glutathione Reductase (GSH) by x-ray crystallography, Malondialdehyde (MDA) by thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) and paraffin embedding sections, for histological and histochemical evaluations.
Results. Morphometric analysis revealed that PDC caused a reduction in body and brain weights, volume, and weight of the pituitary gland. Masson trichrome demonstrates excessive accumulation of collagen fibers on PDC-treated tissues resolved by APALE. There was a significant increase in MDA in the PDC group and a decrease in the APALE groups compared to the control. In APALE groups, the SOD, CAT, GSH, and T-Protein levels significantly increased compared to the control group. PDC significantly decreased LH and FSH levels compared to the control. However, APALE restored these changes.
Conclusions. APALE demonstrated potent protective activity against PDC-induced pituitary toxicity.
Ultra-Power-Efficient Electrically Programmable Photonic Memory on a Heterogeneous III-V/Si Optical Computing Platform

Published: August 2023

Abstract
We demonstrate, for the first time, non-volatile charge-trap flash memory (CTM) co-located with heterogeneous III-V/Si photonics. The wafer-bonded III-V/Si CTM cell facilitates non-volatile optical functionality for a variety of devices such as Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs), asymmetric MZI lattice filters, and ring resonator filters. The MZI CTM exhibits full write/erase operation (100 cycles with 500 states) with wavelength shifts of Δλnon-volatile = 1.16 nm (Δneff,non-volatile ~ 2.5 × 10-4) and a dynamic power consumption < 20 pW (limited by measurement). Multi-bit write operation (2 bits) is also demonstrated and verified over a time duration of 24 hours and most likely beyond. The cascaded 2nd order ring resonator CTM filter exhibited an improved ER of ~ 7.11 dB compared to the MZI and wavelength shifts of Δλnon-volatile = 0.041 nm (Δneff,non-volatile = 1.5 × 10-4) with similar pW-level dynamic power consumption as the MZI CTM. The ability to co-locate photonic computing elements and non-volatile memory provides an attractive path towards eliminating the von-Neumann bottleneck.
