Cerebral circulation disorders (CCD) are one of the most common causes of mortality and disability in the population. Improving the microcirculation of brain tissue is one of the main directions in the treatment and prevention of CCD.Aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a new derivative of hydroxybenzoic (salicylic) acid on neurological deficit, hemostasis and functional state of arterial pial vessels in the study of prostacyclin-synthetic activity and evaluation of NOmediated endothelial dysfunction in rats under experimental CCD conditions. Material and methods. The experiment was carried out on 50 Wistar rats, which were simulated for CCD by occlusion of common carotid arteries. Within 7 days after the operation, the animals received treatment according to the group: saline, C-60 (N-(3-hydroxybenzoyl)taurine dipotassium salt) and acetylsalicylic acid. After treatment, the activity of the prostacyclin-synthetic system was assessed by the reaction of pial vessels to indomethacin, endothelial dysfunction was estimated by tests with acetylcholine and L-NAME. The parameters of plasma and platelet hemostasis were also studied, and behavioral tests (open field, adhesion test, rotarod, Morris water maze, passive avoidance task) were used to assess neurological deficits in animals. Results. When studying the level of neurological deficit in animals with brain ischemia after a course of administration of the test compound, it was noted that in the treated groups, compared with the control group, there was a significant increase in motor and exploratory activity, improvement in sensory-motor function and coordination of movements (p < 0.05). Also, in the group treated with the salicylic acid derivative, normalization of the parameters of platelet and plasma hemostasis, improvement of the functional state of the vascular endothelium was observed. According to the results of assessing the prostacyclin-synthesizing activity of the endothelium of the cerebral vessels, it follows that the test compound inhibits cyclooxygenase at a level comparable with effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Conclusions. A new derivative of salicylic acid, the dipotassium salt of N-(3-hydroxybenzoyl)taurine, reduces the severity of neurological deficit, improves hemostasis parameters and the functional state of cerebral vessels in rats with brain ischemia in the experiment.

Aim of the study was to investigate risk factors for osteoporosis (OP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Material and methods. We observed 110 patients with a verified diagnosis of RA. RA was diagnosed based on the 2010 EULAR/ACR clinical classification. All patients with RA were divided into 2 groups: with ОP (53 patients) and without ОP signs (57 patients). Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed by dual-energy X-ray densitometry (DEXA), the diagnosis was made on the basis of WHO recommendations. All patients underwent a standard clinical and laboratory examination, in addition the following parameters were studied: 25-OH vitamin D, C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1), N-terminal propeptide of procollagen I (P1NP) content in the blood, the ratio of calcium to urine creatinine. Results. We found a statistically significant relationship between the presence of ОP and the following clinical signs: patient weight (р = 0.014), duration of RA course (р = 0.024), and the presence of erosive changes (р = 0.014). In addition, a relationship was found between the presence of OP and lower BMD in the Ward area (Ward) and the greater trochanter area (Troch) (р < 0.0001). It was also shown that taking glucocorticosteroid drugs for more than 3 months significantly increases the risk of developing ОP (р < 0.0001). Conclusions. Identification of risk groups for patients at risk for the development of OP is of great practical importance. The factors given in the article can be adjusted towards normalization in order to reduce the degree of possible risk, which is quite feasible in practice.
Freeganin w kłopotach. Aksjologiczny stosunek do brudu i pożywienia
Authors: Pelska Agata 
Published: October 2022

Niniejszy artykuł opiera się na badaniach etnograficznych przeprowadzonych w środowisku freegan w 2021 roku. Porusza kwestie wartościowania związanego z kulturowymi kategoriami pożywienia i brudu, które w zaskakujący sposób łączą się ze sobą w zjawisku freeganizmu. Główne pytania stawiane w artykule to: dlaczego podejmowane w ramach freeganizmu praktyki budzą społeczne kontrowersje, a nawet obrzydzenie? Jak uczestnicy ruchu radzą sobie z aksjologicznym pomieszaniem brudu i jedzenia, które rażąco narusza porządek kulturowy? Posługując się teorią brudu Mary Douglas (wyłożoną głównie w książce Czystość i zmaza) i moimi materiałami terenowymi, prezentuję powiązania między freegańską etyką, zjawiskiem marnotrawstwa oraz statusu śmiecia w kulturze, który freeganie często uznają za przydzielony arbitralnie i bezpodstawnie.

The TPR (Total Physical Response) method in its implementation through speech instructions given to learners can be played through real examples that are meaningful and understandable. The nature of this study is descriptive analysis, which is the regular parsing of data that has been obtained, then given understanding and explanation in order to be well understood by readers. So that the steps taken are 1) learners must actively listen well to what is demonstrated by the teacher with the vocabulary keywords mentioned and the commands given by the teacher with examples of the use of such vocabulary in everyday life or phenomena that are around, 2) the student's task in listening to the teacher's demonstration explanation explaining the existing vocabulary must be in some time and not just once and thoroughly, 3) The next stage is to deify and imitate, 4) the teacher tries to order students without keywords or demonstrations or other stimulus, 5) Students act or demonstrate teacher commands, 6) creative and innovative demonstrations are carried out by teachers so that students are more understanding and able to imitate well, 7) teachers give varied command models without demonstrations or demonstrations, and 8) then in the final stages students are able to protest to colleagues in turn.
Splątane gałęzie Drzewa Opowieści. Struktury baśniowe w „Berenie i Lúthien” J.R.R. Tolkiena
Authors: Żurek Agnieszka 
Published: October 2022

The article analyses the impact of folktales on J.R.R. Tolkien’s story about Beren and Lúthien. The story was numerously rewritten and modified by the author, so the article focuses on three versions: The Tale of Tinúviel (written c. 1917), The Lay of Leithian (written 1925–1931) and Quenta Silmarillion (written c. 1937), the last of which is the textual base for The Silmarillion (1973). The major instruments of analysis are the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index and Vladimir Propp’s folk-tale characters functions.
Beren and Lúthien emerges from several folktale types, along with numerous mythological and literary sources. The dominant type is ATU 460–499 (“Supernatural Task”), especially ATU 461 (“Three Hairs of the Devil”), but there are also references to ATU 550 (“The Golden Bird”) and ATU 551 (“The Water of Life”). The functions of the hero, the princess, and the helper are performed by, respectively, Beren, Lúthien, and Huan. However, the functions of the hero and the princess are distributed between the two protagonists and Lúthien assumes the hero’s function because she actively takes part in performing the supernatural task. The reason is that gender roles are subordinated to more important division between the human (Beren) and the divine (Lúthien, who resembles both a solar deity and a Christological figure). The convention of the folktale is also alluded to by stereotypical characteristics and moral values ascribed to the dog, the wolf, and the cat. The Tale of Tinúviel can be recognized as an etiological tale of the type ATU 200 (“The Dog’s Certificate”).
„Cordel” — brazylijska literatura „sznurkowa”. Zastosowanie dydaktyczne
Authors: Chmiel Eliasz 
Published: October 2022

In Letramento literário e cordel: o ensino de literatura por um novo olhar [Literary literacy and cordel literature: literature teaching from a new perspective], Gilles Villeneuve Souza Nascimento presents the literary literacy through the cordel genre as a potential solution to the reading and literature teaching crisis in Brazil.
Initially, the author dialogues with the theoretical findings of Regina Zilberman, Ângela Kleiman, Rildo Cosson, Ana Cristina Marinho, and Hélder Pinheiro (among others) regarding the reader formation, literacy, literary literacy, and the use of the cordel in literature teaching. The most interesting part, however, is the practical one, which contains a description of the school workshop which proved the appropriateness of the proposal.
Although its conclusions are based on results of an experiment on merely 16 students from one school, from a region where cordel literature is particularly popular, Letramento literário e cordel… is a valuable publication which presents very interesting possibilities of making use of a literature often considered — due to its simplicity — as “second-class art.” Moreover, despite the local character of the research, the majority of the author’s observations have a universal application.
Szekspir z kryminałem w tle (albo odwrotnie)
Authors: Walc Krystyna 
Published: October 2022

The author concentrates on two thrillers by Jennifer Lee Carrell: Interred with Their Bones (2007) and Haunt Me Still (2010). The protagonists, Katharine Stanley (theater director with a reputation as an expert in both Shakespeare and the Renaissance occult) and Benjamin Pearl (founder of an elite British security firm), are conducting a double investigation. They are trying to find the murderer who kills his victims in a manner resembling Shakespearean characters. The investigation leads them to literary riddles — in the first novel, they hunt for the lost play Cardenio, in the second — they try to find an unknown version of Macbeth. These are, of course, real murders and there are police officers who try find the killers. But only the people who are connected with Shakespeare (actors, scholars, etc.) can solve all the puzzles. The protagonists wander a maze of university libraries, dark museum rooms, theater scenes, and even caves with 17th- and 19th-century corpses. They visit a settlement named Shakespeare in the New Mexico desert, where an eccentric millionaire has built a replica of Elsynor.
The author of the article pays attention to the pieces of Shakespearian puzzle which are not widely known, such as Macbeth as a famously cursed play and Shakespeare authorship theories.
The most important element in both novels (in the author’s opinion) is that Shakespeare’s plays are still a value some people are ready to kill for or even die for.
Kryminały (są) dla dziewczyn… — refleksje wokół cyklu detektywistycznego Karen Karbo o Minervie Clark
Authors: Has-Tokarz Anita 
Published: October 2022

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in detective literature among the youngest readers. The appeal of this type of literature is confirmed not only by a kind of “publication overproduction” observable in the segment of books for children and young adults, but also by reader rankings. The latter also show two significant trends: firstly — the declining age of the youngest readers who choose detective stories, secondly — girls are beginning to prevail among the young recipients of this literature.
The goal of the article is to seek an answer to the question why young girls increasingly often choose detective literature and what makes it attractive from the reception perspective. The example which is the focus of attention is the mystery-type trilogy written by American author Karen Karbo about the adventures of an eccentric teenager Minerva Clark. The series consists of the following volumes: Minerva Clark Gets a Clue, Minerva Clark Goes to the Dogs, and Minerva Clark Gives Up the Ghost, all of which can be categorized as classical detective stories.
The latest detective fiction for young girls, which readily utilizes gender and feminist topics, features more and more characters of brave and independent female amateur detectives. Minerva Clark has joined this colorful gallery of characters, who appeared in the twentieth-century literature thanks to Miss Marple novels authored by Agatha Christie. The literary character of Minerva Clark arouses associations with another fictional character meant for female teenage readers — Nancy Drew, the titular hero of American novels Nancy Drew Mystery Series, published in the USA since the 1930s.
Minerva Clark has become part of the contemporary discourse on femininity and the role of gender in popular culture. The popularity of the trilogy in question as well as the whole trend of detective stories for girls can be explained in several ways. Apart from the feminine topic repertoire, the literary factors are of significance: suspense-keeping stories, captivating plots, young people’s slang, and most of all — humor, highly thought of by the young audience. In Karen Karbo’s series we are dealing with verbal-intellectual and situational comedy as well as that of characters. The content-related comedy-making factors in the trilogy about Minerva Clark also include humorous narration (play on words), situational scenes, and a happy ending. Books about female teenage detectives such as Minerva evoke a substantial response among their gender also because they are written with present-day girls and their needs in mind.
O ensino de Guarani nas escolas paraguaias e a questão do bilinguismo diglóssico: uma interlocução com Bartomeu Melià
Authors: Lopes Danielle Bastos , Pontes Paloma Araújo 
Published: October 2022

Este artigo analisa o ensino paraguaio com especial destaque para os conceitos diglossia e interculturalidade no âmbito acadêmico. O Paraguai é um país com um aspecto singularmente relevante, sua população fala majoritariamente guarani, uma língua ameríndia do tronco Tupi. No que diz respeito ao castelhano, possuem um dialeto próprio, espécie de castelhano com resquícios do guarani, chamado espanhol rioplatense. A análise do bilinguismo e as questões do apagamento da língua serão um dos pontos explorados neste artigo. Apesar de culturalmente distintos, ambos os idiomas apresentam a política bilíngue/intercultural como políticas fundamentais e centrais para as escolas indígenas. O que este artigo tenciona, nesse aspecto, consiste em saber se o bilinguismo vivido nas escolas paraguaias não atua como um apagamento dos idiomas indígenas ou da castelhanização guarani. Como afirmou Bartomeu Melià (2010, 2011), o Estado preconiza que as populações nativas sejam alfabetizadas em castelhano, porém, isso não ocorre no caso dos castelhanos falantes que não graduam-se em uma única língua indígena. A interculturalidade remete à troca e conflito entre várias culturas distintas, entretanto, na maioria dos sistemas educativos, tanto no Brasil como no Paraguai as trocas são unilaterais. O castelhano ou português dominante é aprendido sob alto prestígio, enquanto às línguas indígenas cultuam um ensino culturalmente diglóssico. Com base nos pensamentos de Bartomeu Melià, estes e outros aspectos do bilinguismo paraguaio serão enfocados neste artigo.

Introduction: Social interaction played an important role in a child's daily life. If there was no balance of intelligence or interactive abilities, it would be difficult for children to live in society. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the government issued a physical distancing policy. Children couldn’t meet and interact with their environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the application of physical distancing and the level of development (social interaction) of children aged 3-6 years in Bantal Village.
Method: The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional approach design. The study was conducted 93 children with criteria aged 3-6 years who live in Bantal Village, Asembagus District. The exclusion criteria for sick children, have physical limitations and suffer from mental disorders using the purposive sampling technique. Data collection used measuring tools in the form of a questionnaire on the physical distancing and interaction rating scale (IRS) and used the chi-square for the statistical test.
Results: The results of the statistical analysis test using the chi-squere value obtained p<ɑ (p=0.001<0.05) so that there is a relationship between the application of physical distancing and the level of development (social interaction) of children aged 3-6 years in Bantal Village, Asembagus District, Situbondo Regency.
Conclusions: There was a relationship between the application of physical distancing and the level of development (social interaction) of children aged 3-6 years during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bantal Village.
Nouveaux défis, nouvelles approches : <i>Foster Forest</i>, un jeu sérieux pour simuler et stimuler l’adaptation aux changements climatiques
Authors: Fouqueray Timothée 
Published: October 2022

Malgré d’intenses recherches, la capacité d’adaptation aux changements climatiques des forêts et des forestiers demeure incertaine. Face à ces incertitudes, les forestiers privés et publics tentent de diversifier leurs pratiques, mais se concentrent principalement sur des actions de technique sylvicole. Le jeu sérieux Foster Forest vise à compléter ces approches techniques à partir d’adaptations socioéconomiques imaginées par les participants. Développée par une équipe de recherche interdisciplinaire, il s’agit à notre connaissance de la première simulation participative de l’évolution d’un massif forestier tempéré dans un scénario d’incertitudes économiques et climatiques. L’article présente la genèse, le déploiement et les apprentissages des ateliers Foster Forest tenus à travers la France. Une nouvelle version « Prospective », gratuite et téléchargeable en ligne, est aussi introduite à l’intention des structures d’animation, de coordination ou de formation forestières.

Objectives. To investigate the prevalence, pattern, and socioeconomic risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) before and 6 months after the pandemic onset among a cohort of Iranian women. Methods. We conducted a population-based IPV survey among 2502 partnered Iranian women aged 18 to 60 years before (n = 2502) and 6 months after (n=2116) the pandemic’s onset. We estimated prevalence and incidence of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV, and the odds of different forms of IPV associated with main exposure variables, adjusted for participant relationship factors. Results. Pandemic prevalence of IPV (65.4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 63.4%, 67.4%) was higher than prepandemic prevalence (54.2%; 95% CI = 52.2%, 56.3%). At follow-up, the incidence of IPV was 25.5% (95% CI = 22.9%, 28.4%). The highest incidence was in cases of physical and sexual IPV. Women whose partners lost their employment were at significant risk of new exposure to IPV. Highest socioeconomic status (SES) was associated with less physical IPV (odds ratio = 0.03; 95% CI = 0.01, 0.14). Conclusions. IPV prevalence has risen since the COVID-19 epidemic began with many women who had never experienced IPV now facing it. Unemployment of women or their partners and prepandemic lower socioeconomic status are risk factors of IPV. Monitoring programs should target these populations.

Charitable organizations and media monitoring in China: A validation analysis using an evolutionary model
Authors: Tao Xia , Sindakis Stavros , Chen Charles , Theodorou Panagiotis 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Media supervision plays an indispensable role in social governance. Based on the evolutionary model theory, a model involving government, media, and charitable organizations is constructed. Our study claims to highlight the influence of media supervision on the strategic behavior of charitable organizations and government supervision departments. The research finds a certain degree of a substitution relationship between media supervision and government supervision; the intensification of media supervision is conducive to encouraging government regulatory departments to choose regulatory strategies and charitable organizations to choose legal and compliant operation strategies. The National Kidney Foundation event in Singapore and the Spring Bud Project event of China Children and Teenagers’ Foundation were taken as cases to verify and respond to the important influence of media supervision in charitable organizations.
Causes of Financial Improvement in Sub-Saharan African Countries: should rule of law be considered?
Authors: Adeyemi Adeyinka Emmanuel , David Oladipo Olalekan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Looking into the contributing factor of financial improvement in sub-Saharan Africa, this study pulls its basis from the McKinnon-Shaw model of financial liberalization and Schumpeter's innovation model. The ability to link financial institutions to financial development influences the choice of explanatory variables in this study, in addition to other important determinants proposed in the previous relevant study. We used a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimates on the way to establish relationships among variables. Both static and dynamic models show that GDP per capita is not always a full-size variable to explain the financial improvement. However, past financial improvements and the rule of law are life-size variables that explain financial improvements. The rule of law has proven to be one of the institutional factors considered and an important factor in explaining financial improvement. From this, it can be inferred that the rule of law and the impact of past financial growth remain decisive variables for the financial improvement of sub-Saharan Africa.
