Introduction and Aim: In the diagnosis of diseases of the thoracic cavity, it’s important to assess the state of the mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). In this study, we evaluated the detailed topographic characteristics of the anterior mediastinal LNs by postnatal ontogenesis stages in humans.

Materials and methods: Topographic characteristics of the anterior mediastinal LNs were studied on 134 cadavers of different ages; causes of death were not associated with any diseases and/or damage to the thoracic cavity and/or lymphoproliferative disorders.

Results: Anterior mediastinal LNs are a constant group of LNs. Out of all anterior mediastinal LNs the more frequently found groups are preaortic and prevascular LNs, rarer ones are LNs of the horizontal chain. LNs of the horizontal chain located on the brachiocephalic trunk were found more frequently in children compared to teens and adults.

Conclusion: In the group of preaortic LNs constant LNs are those adjoined to the ligamentum arteriosum and ascending aortic arch; in a group of prevascular LNs adjoined to vena cava superior; in the group LNs of the horizontal chain located on the left brachiocephalic vein.
Discourse Structure in Juozas Aputis’s Triptych of Short Stories The Green Bend of Time
Authors: Nastopka Kęstutis 
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses actor relations, time and space in Juozas Aputis’s triptych of short stories “Žalias laiko vingis“ (The Green Bend of Time, 1977). These three short stories are linked by the figure of the traveller-narrator.The first short story, “Arklio akyse“ (In the Horse’s Eyes) contains several individual and collective anthropomorphic actors as well as two zoomorphic actors – a mare called Jūra (Sea) and a small dog. The story also contains clear configurations of closed and open spaces, and a distinct aspectualisation of inchoate, terminative and durative time. In the second short story, “Troboj prie upės” (In a Hut by the River), the figurative paths of two actors – a traveller and a woman – are developed in parallel. The traveller becomes a listener to a dramatic lifetime confession and tries to solve the puzzle of the impossibility of coexistence between man and woman.The object of value in the first story is lost time, while in the second it a wish to get rid of one’s burden. In the third story, “Žalias laiko vingis” (The Green Bend of Time), the adopted burden of somebody else’s life becomes the traveller’s object of value.In the first story, space and time emerge in childhood memories; in the second one, the space of the homeland is replaced by an isolated hut and a railway; in the third one, the bend of time connects a traumatic war experience with mundane monotony, and the visibly present figures with their counterparts in the utopian space of childhood.
Reading With Attuned Ears: Music in the Plays of Kostas Ostrauskas
Authors: Smolskaitė Giedrė 
Published: November 2022

The author of this article surveys and systematises the many manifestations of music in the texts of Lithuanian playwright and pioneer of absurdist and postmodern drama, Kostas Ostrauskas (1926–2012). Ostrauskas’s drama talks about music and cites it, turns famous figures of the music world into characters and the reader into an active performer, forcing the audience to see (and “hear”) music in various shapes and forms.To explore this dynamics, the author of the article draws on the classification of musico-literary connections developed by intermediality theorist Werner Wolf, which was in turn based on Steven Paul Scher’s triadic typology: a) music and literature; b) literature in music; and c) music in literature.The references to music that can be found in Ostrauskas’s works “illustrate” all of the variations and forms of the interplay between literature and music outlined by Wolf and Scher. The reader of Ostrauskas’s plays is invited to adopt an attitude more active than usual: emphasis is primarily on the plane of expression, as the plays are oriented towards the active reader-performer’s eyes and “ears” (presentation, visuality, plasticity). The systematisation of the connections between music and literature makes it possible to argue that Ostrauskas’s drama examines questions related to the specifics of both media.
Effect of hydro-climate variation on biofilm dynamics and its impact in intertidal environments
Authors: Bastianon Elena , Hope Julie A. , Dorrell Robert M. , Parsons Daniel R. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Shallow tidal environments are very productive ecosystems
but are sensitive to environmental changes and sea level rise.
Bio-morphodynamic control of these environments is therefore a crucial
consideration; however, the effect of small-scale biological activity on
large-scale cohesive sediment dynamics like tidal basins and estuaries is
still largely unquantified. This study advances our understanding by
assessing the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on biologically
cohesive sediment transport and morphology. An idealised benthic biofilm
model is incorporated in a 1D morphodynamic model of tide-dominated
channels. This study investigates the effect of a range of environmental and
biological conditions on biofilm growth and their feedback on the
morphological evolution of the entire intertidal channel. By carrying out a
sensitivity analysis of the bio-morphodynamic model, parameters like (i) hydrodynamic disturbances, (ii) seasonality, (iii) biofilm growth rate, (iv) temperature variation and (v) bio-cohesivity of the sediment are
systematically changed. Results reveal that key parameters such as growth
rate and temperature strongly influence the development of biofilm and are
key determinants of equilibrium biofilm configuration and development under
a range of disturbance periodicities and intensities. Long-term simulations
of intertidal channel development demonstrate that the hydrodynamic
disturbances induced by tides play a key role in shaping the morphology of
the bed and that the presence of surface biofilm increases the time to reach
morphological equilibrium. In locations characterised by low hydrodynamic
forces, the biofilm grows and stabilises the bed, inhibiting the transport of
coarse sediment (medium and fine sand). These findings suggest biofilm
presence in channel beds results in intertidal channels that have
significantly different characteristics in terms of morphology and
stratigraphy compared abiotic sediments. It is concluded that inclusion of
bio-cohesion in morphodynamic models is essential to predict estuary
development and mitigate coastal erosion.

La lógica trascendental de Emil Lask entre Platón y Kant. Teoría de los dos mundos y revolución copernicana
Authors: Cazzanelli Stefano 
Published: November 2022

En el presente artículo presentamos la filosofía trascendental de Emil Lask como el resultado de una mediación entre la teoría de los dos mundos de Platón y la revolución copernicana de Kant. Aprovechando el descubrimiento de Lotze según el cual los significados no son, sino valen, y ampliando el horizonte de la lógica más allá del ámbito del juicio, Lask elabora un platonismo (o aristotelismo) trascendental que le ubica en un punto medio entre el neokantismo y la fenomenología. Su filosofía entremezcla el trascendentalismo kantiano con el objetivismo típico de la filosofía antigua. El resultado es un trascendentalismo del logos que abarca todos los ámbitos de significado, tanto judicativos, como pre-judicativos.
New annotated checklist of the Portuguese oaks (Quercus L., Fagaceae)
Authors: Vila-Viçosa Carlos Martins , Capelo Jorge Henrique , Alves Paulo , Almeida Rubim Silva , Vázquez Francisco Maria 
Published: November 2022

We present a comprehensive taxonomic and nomenclatural review of the Portuguese oaks (Quercus L.), issuing from throughout biogeographical, historical, bibliographic, field and herbarium data. We propose a new annotated checklist for all taxa and nothotaxa belonging to Quercus L. genus in the Portuguese national territory, extending the analysis to the broader biogeographical context of Western Mediterranean Subregion. Fifteen herbaria collections were exhaustively studied and complemented by information retrieved from digital collections, resulting in the recognition of eleven native oaks. Further treatment at infraspecific level includes one subspecies and additional 23 nothotaxa. We designate 21 names as types and add a preliminary list of 150 cultivated trees, concurring to a total of 185 oak taxa, in total, found in Portugal.
Moreover, we clarify the taxonomical status and reinstate both Quercus calliprinos Webb and Q. pseudococcifera Desf. as native for the Western Mediterranean subregion. We recover the concept of Q. faginea Lam., as the widespread Gall oak in Portugal and update its synonym list. We propose Q. broteroana and Q. estremadurensis as autonomous species within the European Q. robur s.l. broad group, alongside two newly circumscribed subsections inside Section Quercus. We describe three nothotaxa as new (Q. ×alvesii, Q. ×capeloana and Q. ×sampaioana) and approach the nomenclatural resolution of the remaining natural hybrids. Lastly, we provide an identification key, intelligible for non-specialists, including both native taxa and most frequent nothotaxa.
We emphasise the importance of historical and literature review, combined with accurate biogeographical information, as paramount to coherent taxonomical resolution. Both specimens and their associated records were found of crucial significance to a taxonomical model that is, in the end, useful to biodiversity conservation.

Aim. To study the immediate results of the use of cryosurgical instruments and ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen in diseases of abdominal organs.Materials and research methods. The article presents the results of surgical treatment using ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen (196oC) for 308 patients with diseases of the abdominal organs in the Department of Liver and Pancreas Surgery of the Institute of Gastroenterology of the Republic of Tajikistan from 2016 to 2022.The results and discussion. The authors proposed an algorithm for the use of the ultra-low temperature of liquid nitrogen in the treatment of diseases of the abdominal organs after the development of the latest cryogenic equipment. It turned out that the resulting cryodestruction leads to the death of parasitic elements of alveococcosis, echinococcosis, and liver tuberculosis, as well as to cytolysis of atypical calls in hepatocellular carcinoma. The most important advantage of liver cryosurgery, especially in concomitant chronic viral hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, is a reliable parenchymal haemo-and cholestasis, a decrease in intraoperative blood loss, an increase in the radicality of an operation, and reliable prevention of intraoperative dissemination of malignant and parasitic diseasesConclusion. The accumulated experience of surgeries for various diseases of the abdominal organs using ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen allows concluding that cryosurgery of the abdominal organs has an undoubted prospect. The positive characteristic of using cryotechnology in the treatment of severe diseases of abdominal organs suggests that it is advisable to introduce the method into clinical practice on a wide scale.

What Do We Look At When We Look at Art? The Bible, Visual Art, and the Redemption of Existence
Authors: Hoult Jason , Kulak Avron 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study is dedicated to examining how the principles and values that mark the difference between the ancient Greco-Roman and biblical traditions help us to think about what (and who) we look at when we look at art. We begin with the Bible's self-reflexive communication to its readers regarding the status of its own images and then consider works by Michelangelo, Tejo Remy, and Charles White—while also calling on Shakespeare, Hegel, and Kierkegaard—to show that art in the biblical tradition presupposes and expresses love as the transformation of life's finite immediacies, the transformation of its finite givens, into the gift. We argue, overall, that the art of the biblical tradition demands that viewers pose the question of whether, where, and how deeply they find in those works—and in themselves—the principle of love as the redemption of finitude, the redemption of existence.
Rechoreographing Homonymous Partners: Rancière's Dance Education from Loïe Fuller
Authors: Hall Joshua M. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Contemporary philosopher Jacques Rancière has been criticized for a conception of “politics” that is insensitive to the diminished agency of the corporeally oppressed. In a recent article, Dana Mills locates a solution to this alleged problem in the most recent Rancière book translated into English, Aisthesis, in its chapter on Mallarmé’s writings on modern dancer Loïe Fuller. My first section argues that Mills's reading exacerbates an “homonymy” (Rancière's term) in Rancière's use of the word “inscription,” which means for him either a vicious literal carving on living bodies or else a virtuous figurative carving on nonliving bodies. The former, I call “bodily carving,” while the latter is the “corporeal writing” that I take Mallarmé to affirm in Fuller. My second section observes that Rancière himself misses a homonymy in Mallarmé on Fuller, namely, “dance,” meaning either “ballet” or dance in general (including Fuller's). My third section concludes that Rancière's chapter on Fuller includes another “dance” homonymy, meaning either “concert dance” or what I term a new “art of meta-movement” in Fuller. The latter art, I conclude, is equivalent to Mallarmé’s “corporeal writing” and can be understood as a new form of dance education, in pursuit of a worker-dancer utopia.
The Dehumanization of Architecture
Authors: De Clercq Rafael 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Modern buildings do not easily harmonize with other buildings, regardless of whether the latter are also modern. This often-observed fact has not received a satisfactory explanation. To improve on existing explanations, this article generalizes one of Ortega y Gasset's observations concerning modern fine art and then develops a metaphysics of styles that is inspired by work in the philosophy of biology. The resulting explanation is that modern architecture is incapable of developing patterns that facilitate harmonizing because such patterns would humanize buildings, and modern architecture is a homeostatic property cluster with a dehumanizing motive at its core.
Formation of professional vocabulary in teaching English to students of the customs institute
Authors: Abduzuhurovna Abduazizova Durdona 
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the methods of forming the professional vocabulary of students studying on the specialty “Customs Affair”. Mastering a foreign language in the course of training at the Customs Institute requires a professional orientation. For professional training of future customs specialists, it is necessary to have an in-depth knowledge of a foreign language, in particular, English. Therefore, the article emphasizes the expansion of the professional vocabulary of Customs Institute students by means of socialization of various types of language activities: using professional texts on customs and economic issues, studying special topics for the development of oral speech in the professional sphere, instilling in students the ability to think logically and communicate in English in various professional situations, mastering the lexical minimum in the corresponding specialty. The correctness of filling in customs declarations, checking and controlling shipping documents, etc. requires in-depth knowledge of customs and economic terms in a foreign language. For effective training of the future customs specialist, the issue of interaction not only of specialized disciplines, but also of simultaneous training of two foreign languages, in particular Russian (for group with an Uzbek language of study) and English.
For the purpose of competent organization of the educational process, it is important to take into account the interdisciplinary connections that will lead to the formation of intercultural, general professional and professional competencies.
