Authors: Kushnir M. Ya. , Kosovan Hr. V. , Kroyalo P. M. 
Published: April 2022

Context. The problem of generating pseudo-random sequences of bits using the rules of fuzzy logic and two-dimensional chaotic systems is considered.
Objective. Pseudo-random sequences generators built using two-dimensional chaotic systems and fuzzy logic. The purpose of the work is to develop and implement pseudo-random bit sequences generators based on the rules of fuzzy logic and two-dimensional chaotic systems and to evaluate the statistical characteristics of the generated sequences using statistical tests of National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Method. A method for generating pseudo-random bit sequences is proposed, which allows form bit sequences with characteristics that meet the requirements of secure communication systems and cryptographic protection of information based on the rules of fuzzy logic and two-dimensional chaotic systems. In the process of studying the operation of generators, histograms of the distribution of output values were constructed, which allows to clearly determine whether the entire range of output values of the twodimensional system could be used to generate pseudo-random bit sequence or only part of it. A study of the statistical characteristics of the generated sequences using a set of statistical tests was also performed.
Results. Bit sequences formed using fuzzy logic rules and two-dimensional chaotic systems can be used to transmit information in secure communication systems.
Results. The proposed generators were implemented in software, histogram analysis and evaluation of compliance with the criteria for a set of statistical tests of National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Conclusions. The experiments confirmed the ability of the proposed generators to generate bit sequences with good statistical characteristics, which allows them to be recommended for use in practice in solving problems of cryptographic protection of information and secure transmission of information over open communication channels. Prospects for further research may be to create cryptographic methods of information protection based on the proposed pseudo-random bit sequences generators, the implementation of secure communication systems.
LACTIC ACID BACTERIA HYDROLYSATES AND THEIR EFFECT ON SKIN HYDRATION
Authors: Orіabinska L. , Bohdan T. , Todosiiychuk T. 
Published: April 2022

Recently, interest in lactobacilli lysates is growing, and the possibilities of their use cover more and more areas of human life – medicine, immunoprophylaxis, cosmetology, food industry. The article presents a method of obtaining bacterial lysates of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus genus. As a destructive agent used dry lytic enzyme preparation сytal-Rk G-10X, obtained under conditions of experimental fermentation from the culture fluid Streptomyces albus UN44. The complex lytic preparation сytal-Rk contains a group of enzymes glycosidases and peptidases, the joint action of which leads to the degradation of the cell wall of a wide range of bacteria. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of Cytal-Rk for the degradation of six strains of lactobacilli is presented. It is shown that the enzyme is an effective destructive agent under optimal conditions. The degree of cell degradation depended on their species, hydrolysis conditions and physical condition. Optimal conditions for obtaining hydrolysates based on native and lyophilized cells of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB86 was develop. When loading the microbial mass in the reaction medium – 1×109 CFU/ml (for native cells) and 1×1010 CFU/ml (for lyophilized cells) cell destruction reached almost 80% and 90%, respectively. Based on native Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB86 lysates were obtained and their comparative chemical analysis was performed. Sublimated cells were shown to be more sensitive to the enzyme complex and to contain more proteins and reducing sugars. Native cell lysates were more enriched in nucleic acids. Lysate of lactic acid bacteria from native cells was studied to moisturize the skin of the hands of young people aged 18–20 years. When using lysate in the cream base, it significantly increased the level of hydration of the dermis of the hands compared to the control cream base. This allows us to consider the lysate of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB86 as a promising ingredient for creating cosmetics with moisturizing action.
Interleukin-33 Exacerbates IgA Glomerulonephritis in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing B Cell Activating Factor

Significance Statement
IL-33 is an activator of innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2s) in innate immunity and allergic inflammation and drives ILC2 expansion. High levels of B cell activating factor (BAFF), which plays a central role in B cell proliferation and differentiation, cause excess antibody production, including IgA. Using an animal model of IgA glomerulonephritis, a transgenic mouse that expresses excessive BAFF, the authors found that IL-33 exacerbates IgA glomerulonephritis, appearing to do so through expansion of ILC2 cells that drive an increase in IgA production and the development of kidney disease. They confirmed the role of ILC2s in exacerbating disease in a mouse model of IgA glomerulonephritis in transfer and depletion experiments. Their findings suggest that evaluation of IL-33 and ILC2s as potential mediators of IgA nephropathy in humans is warranted.

Background
The cytokine IL-33 is an activator of innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2s) in innate immunity and allergic inflammation. B cell activating factor (BAFF) plays a central role in B cell proliferation and differentiation, and high levels of this protein cause excess antibody production, including IgA. BAFF-transgenic mice overexpress BAFF and spontaneously develop glomerulonephritis that resembles human IgA nephropathy.

Methods
We administered IL-33 or PBS to wild-type and BAFF-transgenic mice. After treating Rag1-deficient mice with IL-33, with or without anti-CD90.2 to preferentially deplete ILC2s, we isolated splenocytes, which were adoptively transferred into BAFF-transgenic mice.

Results
BAFF-transgenic mice treated with IL-33 developed more severe kidney dysfunction and proteinuria, glomerular sclerosis, tubulointerstitial damage, and glomerular deposition of IgA and C3. Compared with wild-type mice, BAFF-transgenic mice exhibited increases of CD19+ B cells in spleen and kidney and ILC2s in kidney and intestine, which were further increased by administration of IL-33. Administering IL-33 to wild-type mice had no effect on kidney function or histology, nor did it alter the number of ILC2s in spleen, kidney, or intestine. To understand the role of ILC2s, splenocytes were transferred from IL-33–treated Rag1-deficient mice into BAFF-transgenic mice. Glomerulonephritis and IgA deposition were exacerbated by transfer of IL-33–stimulated Rag1-deficient splenocytes, but not by ILC2 (anti-CD90.2)–depleted splenocytes. Wild-type mice infused with IL-33–treated Rag1-deficient splenocytes showed no change in kidney function or ILC2 numbers or distribution.

Conclusions
IL-33–expanded ILC2s exacerbated IgA glomerulonephritis in a mouse model. These findings indicate that IL-33 and ILC2s warrant evaluation as possible mediators of human IgA nephropathy.

Filología y fenomenología de la vulnerabilidad: la metáfora en el pensamiento de Emmanuel Levinas
Authors: Mastro Cesare Del 
Published: April 2022

ResumenA partir de un estudio de la teoría levinasiana de la metáfora, se formula en este artículo la noción de quiasmo metafórico con el objetivo de articular, en un espacio de exposición semántica dinámica, un movimiento de más allá (au-delà) —desplazamiento hacia otros significados— y una direcciónde más acá (en-deçà) —conservación de los rasgos sensoriales, imaginativos y afectivos asociados a las palabras. Esta herramienta filológica conduce a la siguiente tesis: la exposición ética a la vulnerabilidad del rostro surge metafóricamente en las huellas sensibles e histórico-culturales del extranjero, la viuda, el huérfano y el judío. La simultaneidad de lo Dicho estético(atención al detalle de estilo) y del Decir ético (respuesta al llamado del Otro) da lugar a una fenomenología de la vulnerabilidad social: las huellas de los rostros de los pobres convocan a compartir el pan y la palabra a partir de la manera como su fragilidad concreta habita y cuestiona los relatos abiertos de la literatura y las imágenes inacabadas del arte.Palabras clave: metáfora – ética y estética – fenomenología de la vulnerabilidad – Emmanuel Levinas AbstractIn this article, Emmanuel Levinas’ theory of metaphor derives into the notion of “metaphorical chiasm”. This idea articulates, in a semantically dynamical manner, a double-way movement: one that goes “beyond”(au-delà) —the displacement to other meanings— and another that stays “here” (en-deça) —the retention of the sensuous, imaginative and affectivetraits of words. This philological tool is functional to the following thesis: the ethical exposition to the other’s vulnerability (and, specifically, to theother’s face) expresses itself metaphorically in the sensuous, the historical and the cultural traces of the stranger, the widow, the orphan and the Jew. The simultaneity of the esthetical “Said” (the attention to stylistic detail) and the ethical “Saying” (the attention to the other’s calling) gives way to a Phenomenology of social vulnerability: the traces of the faces of the poor call for the sharing of bread and word that derives from the way in which their concrete frailty hosts and questions the open narratives of Literature and the unfinished images of Art.Keywords: metaphor – ethics and aesthetics – Phenomenology of vulnerability– Emmanuel Levinas.
Los animales y el cuerpo en el refranero: un análisis semántico
Authors: Pérez Paredes María del Refugio , Sanz Martin Blanca Elena 
Published: April 2022

ResumenEste trabajo muestra un análisis de las paremias en español conformadas por sustantivos anatómicos y faunísticos cuya interpretación es metafórica. La propuesta consiste en explicar el sentido de estas expresiones a partir de los marcos semánticos de los sustantivos de ambos dominios, ya que, aunque se ha señalado que este tipo de construcciones no son susceptibles de un análisis componencial, consideramos que, recurriendo a la semántica de marcos, es posible encontrar su motivación semántica. AbstractThis work presents an analysis of some proverbs in Spanish that are built upon anatomic and faunistic nouns, and that have a metaphoric interpretation. The approach consists in explaining these expressions’ meanings using noun semantic frames in both domains. Although there has been pointed out that these constructions can’t be analyzed componentially, we consider that using frame semantics it is possible to find their semantic motivation.Key words: proverb – metaphor – anatomic domain – faunistic domain
Circuitos del conocimiento: el Arte de la lengua índica de Valera y su inclusión en las polémicas sobre el Sacro Monte de Granada
Authors: Cárdenas Bunsen José Alejandro 
Published: April 2022

ResumenA partir del examen de documentos inéditos, este artículo muestra que Blas Valera (1545-1597) fue autor de un Arte de la lengua índica, que circulaba en Sevilla en 1595. Sostiene también que Valera puede ser identificado como el director detrás del Arte y vocabulario en la lengua general del Perú, publicado anónimamente en 1586. El estudio reconstruye, además, el contexto intelectual que hizo posible la circulación de la obra de Valera y los criterios filológicos que permitieron insertar su obra en las discusiones sobre las reliquias y libros del Sacro Monte de Granada y sus implicaciones sobre la historia de la iglesia primitiva española.Palabras clave: Blas Valera, Sacro Monte de Granada, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Tercer Concilio de LimaAbstractRelying on unpublished documents, this article maintains that Blas Valera (1545-1597) authored an unknown Arte de la lengua índica that circulated in Seville in 1595. It also argues that Valera can be identified as the single director behind the Arte y vocabulario en la lengua general del Perú that was published anonymously in 1586. In addition, this study reconstructs the intellectual milieu that made the circulation of Valera’s grammar possible and the philological criteria that laid the groundwork for its insertion in the debate regarding the relics and leaden books recently discovered at Granada’s Sacro Monte, and their implications for the history of Spain’s early Church.Keywords: Blas Valera, Sacro Monte de Granada, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Lima’s Third Council
El componente pragmático en la morfología derivativa y flexiva del español
Authors: Gallegos Alfonso 
Published: April 2022

ResumenEn este trabajo se aborda la interdependencia entre semántica y pramática a partir del análisis de dos fenómenos morfológicos del español, uno derivativo —la formación de nombres deverbales con significado «acción de ‘x’»— y otro flexivo —el uso del futuro de subjuntivo en prótasis condicionales con si—. Los resultados demostrarán que la actualización de las formas generadas a partir de estos procesos morfológicos no es completamente ajena a ciertos aspectos de naturaleza pragmática, como la selección de determinada variante (o registro) de lengua, el uso de determinados tipos textuales o la configuración general del evento comunicativo.Palabras clave: pragmática, morfología flexiva y derivativa, marcación, neutralizaciónAbstractThis paper shows the interdependence between semantics and pragmatics by analyzing two morphological phenomena of Spanish, one derivative —the creation of deverbal nouns meaning «action of ‘x’» and the other inflective —the use of future subjunctive in conditional si clauses (protasis)—. The results will show that the selection of the forms generated by these morphological processes is not entirely independent of certain pragmatic aspects, such as the use of particular language varieties (i.e., register), certain text types or the general configuration of the speech event.Keywords: pragmatics, inflection and derivation, markedness, neutralization

Authors: Galarza Ballester María Teresa 
Published: April 2022

ResumenEl presente artículo constituye un estudio del sistema de tiempo, modo y aspecto en las lenguas criollas habladas en Haití, Jamaica y las islas de Aruba, Curaçao y Bonaire. La investigación muestra cómo el sistema de TMA del haitiano, el jamaicano y el papiamento se han desarrollado. Asimimo, plantea como hipótesis que su formación implica tanto a las lenguas superestrato como a las lenguas substrato en un proceso guiado por universales del lenguaje. Adicionalmente, sostiene que no todos los aspectos de los sistemas TMA se derivan simplemente de las lenguas contribuyentes, sino que son el resultado de la interacción entre procesos de adquisición del lenguaje y la criollización.Palabras clave: criollo, criollización, adquisición del lenguaje, haitiano, jamaicano, papiamento AbstractThis paper constitutes a study of the system encoding tense, mood and aspect in the creole languages spoken in Haiti, Jamaica, and the islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire. The research shows how the TMA system of Haitian, Jamaican and Papiamento has been developed and hypothesizes that creole formation involves several degrees of input from both superstrate and substrate languages in a process guided by language universals. Furthermore, it argues that not all aspects of the TMA systems are simply derived from the source languages but result from the interaction between language acquisition and creole development.Keywords: creole, creolization, language acquisition, Haitian, Jamaican, Papiamento

Possibilidades da violência na Florianópolis de Cristovão Tezza (sobre a ditadura civil-militar em seus primeiros romances)
Authors: Kremer Natan Schmitz , Vaz Alexandre Fernandez 
Published: April 2022

Com base em três romances de Cristovão Tezza que se passam em Florianópolis, o artigo discute um deslocamento da violência externa à sua internalização no sujeito. Para isso, começamos discutindo, pela chave Literatura e Sociedade, sobre o lugar que a ditadura civil-militar ocupa nos primeiros romances do autor e como este processo de violência externa exercido pelos militares (em Ensaio da Paixão) reverbera na repetição traumática por parte do sujeito (em Aventuras Provisórias), resultando, por fim, em uma internalização da violência que passa a se apoiar nas ameaças do passado, por meio da memória (em O Fantasma da Infância). Concluímos com um breve comentário sobre o lugar de Florianópolis na formulação estética do autor, apontando como as obras que relacionam a ditadura de 1964 à cidade constituem um problema estético que segue sendo desenvolvido em sua literatura atual.
