Full textAbstract:
This article contributes to scholarship on emotions in political rhetoric by way of complicating commonly held views on which types of emotions are appropriate in public debate. The article examines the feeling shame from two perspectives, each rhetorically and critically oriented: one is analytical, the other theoretical. The case material comes from Danish politics where a group of celebrities stated to the press that they felt ashamed on account of Denmark’s policy regarding refugees and immigrants. Based in analysis of the public reaction from the Prime Minister I show how the feeling shame and those who felt it were marked as inappropriate from public debate. In the latter part of the article I theorize on negative emotions and shame in public rhetoric. Drawing on contemporary political philosophy and feminist and queer theory I argue for a more nuanced view on appeals to the emotion shame. Closer reflection suggests that it does not necessarily imply the destructive social distancing one would ordinarily expect but that it has potential as a marker of solidarity with the collective and as such can drive ethical reconsideration

Abstract Complementarianism, that is, Christian teaching focusing on men’s leadership and women’s submission as an ideal pattern of relationships and gendered behaviour, has been identified both as a boundary marker with little lived currency and as a contributing factor in instances of intimate partner violence. This contradiction raises a question; does complementarianism have little felt effect or does it have significant—and violent—social consequences? In this article, drawing on Scott’s analysis of Secularism as discourse I consider complementarianism as a religio-political discourse. Through analysis of published church material and stories gathered through interviews with parishioners and church staff, I explore how complementarianism is constructed and implemented in the Sydney Anglican Diocese. I argue that complementarianism is not a distinctively Christian theology, but a discourse, or story, told in community which constructs orthodoxy and both creates and limits gendered and religious identity.

China's economic rise has transformed the global economy in a number of manufacturing industries. This paper investigates whether China's transformative influence extends to the new green economy. Drawing on the debate about how China is driving major economic changes in the world – the “Asian drivers” debate – it identifies five corridors of influence and investigates their relevance for the wind energy industries. Starting with the demand side, it suggests that the size and rapid growth of the Chinese market have a major influence on competitive parameters in the global wind power industry. While Western firms have found ways of participating in the growth of the Chinese market, the government's procurement regimes benefit Chinese firms. The latter have invested heavily and learned fast, accumulating production capabilities that have led to changes in the global pecking order of lead firms. While the combined impact of Chinese market and production power is already visible, other influences are beginning to be felt – arising from China's coordination, innovation and financing power.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with poor women living in Philadelphia, I explore welfare recipients' experiences with and assessments of welfare-to-work programs provided by labor market intermediaries. Overall, the women argued that the programs often failed to offer meaningful skills that could result in good paying jobs, complicated their already difficult lives, and forced them to interact with sometimes disrespectful, hypocritical, and indifferent staff. The women also felt they were under-compensated for the work that they did in transitional jobs programs. While the women had problems with many of the programs they entered, they especially disliked those that focused on soft skills training. These findings suggest that such programs act as mechanisms of social reproduction, as from the vantage point of poor women, they typically fail to enhance and may actually restrict their labor market opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
Within the context of recent debates around urban atmospheres, this article examines the situatedness and partiality of urban experiences. Drawing on an ethnographic study of the Smithfield Market area, a neighbourhood undergoing a period of rapid urban regeneration as part of the ‘Culture Mile’ in the City of London, we explore how different individuals experience the changing feel of place. By focusing on the felt body, the article analyses the ways in which individuals with different attachments to the neighbourhood respond to the impending urban change and draw on selective temporal modalities of atmospheres in order to make specific claims to place. In particular, we identify three temporal modalities of atmospheres: the selective feel of the past, the contentious present feel and the ambivalent future feel. The article thus argues that studies of urban atmospheres need to pay more attention to the manifold bodily capacities, personal and social histories which mediate and position in diverse ways how places are experienced. More generally, this article makes an intervention into debates on urban atmospheres by analysing empirically how the variable interactions between sensory and temporal qualities produce diverse atmospheric constellations for different individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Through a sustained close reading of William Makepeace Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes, this essay examines three analogous types of particularity in the novel: the particularity of loved ones in the social network, of fictional persons in the literary work, and of the individual text. Drawing on recent sociological and network readings of Victorian narrative, I argue that Thackeray's plot about relationships in the marriage market is reflected (on the level of form) by the structural relation between characters and text, and (on the level of the reading experience) by the affective engagement of the reader to the novel. As characters encounter problems in replacing old relations (former lovers, deceased spouses, estranged relatives) with new ones, the novel raises analogous questions about the replaceability of characters as textual constructs or fictional persons, and of the novel itself as one experience among multitudes on offer in the nineteenth-century market. A tension between the continual or particular experience of an individual novel and the felt historical pressure of novels en masse registers in the text itself as a formal and narrative problem, one that leads us suggestively toward recent methodological debates about intimate and distant reading.

Full textAbstract:
Many social media sites permit users to delete, edit, anonymize, or otherwise modify past posts. These mechanisms enable users to protect their privacy, but also to essentially change the past. We investigate perceptions of the necessity and acceptability of these mechanisms. Drawing on boundary-regulation theories of privacy, we first identify how users who reshared or responded to a post could be impacted by its retrospective modification. These mechanisms can cause boundary turbulence by recontextualizing past content and limiting accountability. In contrast, not permitting modification can lessen privacy and perpetuate harms of regrettable content. To understand how users perceive these mechanisms, we conducted 15 semi-structured interviews. Participants deemed retrospective modification crucial for fixing past mistakes. Nonetheless, they worried about the potential for deception through selective changes or removal. Participants were aware retrospective modification impacts others, yet felt these impacts could be minimized through context-aware usage of markers and proactive notifications.

Full textAbstract:
Documents received during the tender, are in the form of drawings, specifications, bill of quantity (BQ), and the general terms of the contract. Tender activity will bring a variety of risks during the project implementation, and this research is done to identify and assessment of risks, mitigating risk and determining the ownership of the dominant risk.The research was conducted on a private building construction project at Badung Regency in Bali, by using a qualitative method and data collection was done through interview, brainstorming with experts and questionnaires. Among the 39 risk identified, 15 risks were obtained from the previous research, and the remaining 24 risks in this research.The results of this risk assessment were that 18 risks (46.2%) categorized into unacceptable, that include: the addition items of work, the drawing does not match with plan, and the changes in the material specifications. Risk assessment fell into the undesirable category that 21 risks (53.8%), including the mismatch information from planners, the arithmetic error, and materials used were not available on the market. Mitigation was done to dominant risk, among others by reassessing, submitting the contract change order, and asking questions. The biggest risk of ownership was the contractor, namely 39 risks with 18 unacceptable and 21 undesirable risks, this mean, problems associated with tender documents should receive the attention to contractors, planner consultants, owners and Quantity Surveyor (QS) consultants. Contractors as the recipient of the biggest risk were expected to increase the competence of those involved in the tender process.

Full textAbstract:
The interplay of food, people, and market in the multi-religious and multi-ethnic neighborhood of Madina Zongo, Accra, results to some extent in food exchange. In a plural setting like Madina Zongo, an important aspect of their co-existence is the sharing of food; in so doing people claim their identities and mark boundaries; consequently, food in this sense becomes a potential for conflict. My primary aim in this paper is to focus on pig feet (trotter) sellers by drawing attention to their conflicting experiences and encounters in selling trotter. Pig feet (trotter) is a commodity that comes through a global network and is considered haram and unclean by Muslims. Actions by religious practitioners, thereby, play a pivotal role in provoking these experiences and, for this reason, it is prone to triggering tensions. In this paper, I explore the embodied encounters between these traders in the market (inhabited by people of different religious traditions) and, to some extent, the buyers and how this triggers religious sensibilities and at the same time evokes strong responses among those frequenting the space (e.g., market women and customers) and those (trotter sellers) who live in predominantly Muslim neighborhoods. In my analysis on tensions and pollution, I take into consideration groundworks by authors such as Mary Douglas’ Purity and Danger, Sara Ahmed’s and Deborah Durham’s notion of disgust and the anthropology of imagination, and inspired works on materiality such as the Latourian Actor-Network Theory (ANT) which draws attention to the agency of the non-human. This paper studies how religiously contested and so-called “contaminated” foodstuffs such as pig feet (trotter) result in boundary-making practices among members of the market and Zongo community. I argue that ideas of purity are influenced largely by cultural and religious convictions which seems not to be compromised by religious practitioners. The paper also investigates strategies people/sellers develop to negotiate these social relations.

Full textAbstract:
Background Chikungunya-fever (CHIKF) remains a public health major issue. It is clinically divided into three phases: acute, post-acute and chronic. Chronic cases correspond to 25–40% individuals and, though most of them are characterized by long-lasting arthralgia alone, many of them exhibit persistent or recurrent inflammatory signs that define post-Chikungunya chronic inflammatory joint disease (pCHIKV-CIJD). We aimed to identify early clinical markers of evolution to pCHIKV-CIJD during acute and post-acute phases. Methodology/Principal findings We studied a prospective cohort of CHIKF-confirmed volunteers with longitudinal clinical data collection from symptoms onset up to 90 days, including a 21-day visit (D21). Of 169 patients with CHIKF, 86 (50.9%) completed the follow-up, from whom 39 met clinical criteria for pCHIKV-CIJD (45.3%). The relative risk of chronification was higher in women compared to men (RR = 1.52; 95% CI = 1.15–1.99; FDR = 0.03). None of the symptoms or signs presented at D0 behaved as an early predictor of pCHIKV-CIJD, while being symptomatic at D21 was a risk factor for chronification (RR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.09–1.55; FDR = 0.03). Significance was also observed for joint pain (RR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.12–1.61; FDR = 0.02), reported edema (RR = 3.61; 95% CI = 1.44–9.06; FDR = 0.03), reported hand and/or feet small joints edema (RR = 4.22; 95% CI = 1.51–11.78; FDR = 0.02), and peri-articular edema observed during physical examination (RR = 2.89; 95% CI = 1.58–5.28; FDR = 0.002). Furthermore, patients with no findings in physical examination at D21 were at lower risk of chronic evolution (RR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.24–0.70, FDR = 0.01). Twenty-nine pCHIKV-CIJD patients had abnormal articular ultrasonography (90.6% of the examined). The most common indings were synovitis (65.5%) and joint effusion (58.6%). Conclusion This cohort has provided important insights into the prognostic evaluation of CHIKF. Symptomatic sub-acute disease is a relevant predictor of evolution to chronic arthritis with synovitis, drawing attention to joint pain, edema, multiple articular involvement including small hand and feet joints as risk factors for chronification beyond three months, especially in women. Future studies are needed to accomplish the identification of accurate and early biomarkers of poor clinical prognosis, which would allow better understanding of the disease’s evolution and improve patients’ management, modifying CHIKF burden on global public health.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of the bicycle provides a good history of structural materials since the 1850s. The first machine that resembled a bicycle was made of a wooden beam with a wooden wagon wheel at each end. This presumably inspired the Hobby Horse, which had a forged iron beam for a frame, along with wooden wheels. The next step was the “boneshaker,” still with wooden wheels, but with the innovation of pedals, which allowed riders to keep their feet off the ground. Major reductions in weight came with the introduction of steel tubing for the frame and tensioned wire-spoke wheels, as in the high-wheelers of the 1880s. These breakthroughs came on the heels of the development of tube drawing and wire drawing in the new steel industry. With the introduction of the Humber “safety bicycle” in 1890, the evolution of the present-day diamond-frame configuration of the bicycle was completed. By this time, hardened steel components were available for the chain, cogs, bearings, and the chain wheel. In the previous year, John Dunlop had patented the pneumatic tire, and this invention took over the market for bicycle tires by 1895. The cotton-fiber-strengthened rubber-matrix tire was probably one of the earliest fabricated composite materials.The use of brazing to join the cold-drawn steel tubes led to the development of the diamond frame. Lugs held the ends of the tubes in place. The brazing alloys were, and still are, based on Cu-40%Zn and on the Ag-Cu eutectic alloy. Wood and bamboo were tried as substitutes for steel tubes in diamond frames during the past century, but the lack of an available method for joining the pieces together defeated these attempts to save weight. The main materials developments in bicycles over the next 80 or 90 years after the Humber safety were the introduction of low-alloy steels for tubing, primarily the Cr-Mo-0.3%C 4130-type steel, the substitution of aluminum-alloy extrusions for steel tubing for wheel rims after the 1950s, and the use of stainless-steel spokes instead of carbon steel.

Full textAbstract:
It was over 25 years ago that European Urban and Regional Studies was launched at a time of epochal change in the composition of the political, economic and social map of Europe. Brexit has been described as an epochal moment – and at such a moment, European Urban and Regional Studies felt it should offer the space for short commentaries on Brexit and its impact on the relationships of place, space and scale across the cultural, economic, social and political maps of the ‘new Europes’. Seeking contributions drawing on the theories, processes and patterns of urban and regional development, the following provides 10 contributions on Europe, the UK and/or their relational geographies in a post-Brexit world. What the drawn-out and highly contested process of Brexit has done for the populace, residents and ex-pats of the UK is to reveal the inordinate ways in which our mental, everyday and legal maps of the regions, nations and places of the UK in Europe are powerful, territorially and rationally inconsistent, downright quirky at times but also intensely unequal. First, as the UK exits the Single Market, the nature of the political imagination needed to create alternatives to the construction of new borders and new divisions, even within a discourse of creating a ‘global Britain’, remains uncertain. European Urban and Regional Studies has always been a journal dedicated to the importance of pan-European scholarly integration and solidarity and we hope that it will continue to intervene in debates over what alternative imaginings to a more closed and introverted future might look like. Second, as the impacts of COVID-19 continue to change in profound ways how we think, work and travel across European space, we will need to find new forms of integration and new forms of engagament in intellectual life and policy development. European Urban and Regional Studies remains commited to forging such forms.

Full textAbstract:
Translation in captivity is nothing new, nor is it restricted to a particular place or historical period. However, this social and cultural phenomenon is marked by a far more frequent occurrence in totalitarian societies. This article examines the practice of literary translation in Soviet labour camps, where, as a result of political repression, Ukrainian scholars, writers, translators, and lexicographers (aka prisoners of conscience) constituted a large part of the incarcerated population. The fact that translation activity thrived behind bars despite brutal and dehumanizing conditions testifies to the phenomenon of cultural resistance and translators’ activism, both of which deserve close scholarly attention. This study provides insights into practical, historical, psychological, and philosophical aspects of translation in extreme conditions. It seeks answers to the questions of why prisoners of conscience felt moved to translate, and how they pursued their work in situations of extreme pressure. Through the lens of translation in prison, the article offers a wide perspective on the issues of retranslation, pseudotranslation, translation editing, text selection, and the functions of literary translation. The focus of the paper is on Soviet Ukraine in the 1970s-80s, when a wave of political repressions led to the appearance of a new generation of prisoners of conscience. Case studies of Vasyl' Stus and Ivan Svitlychnyi are discussed, drawing on their letters during the incarceration period and the memoirs of their inmates.

Full textAbstract:
Self-rated health status (SRHS) reflects individuals’ social environment, and the difference between urban and rural areas in China further highlights the impact of social environment on health. This paper aimed to systematically analyze and compare the impact mechanism of the SRHS of urban and rural residents from multiple dimensions, i.e., time, space, and scale. Drawing on data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) and China Statistical Yearbook, we used spatial, cross, and HLM analyses. Results indicate that: (1) From 2010 to 2017, the overall SRHS level of Chinese residents gradually declined; the gradient pattern of east, middle, and west became more marked, and the health level in rural areas generally fell behind that of urban areas. (2) The focus of SRHS moved toward mental health, and people’s perceptions of the social environment gradually became a key factor affecting health. (3) In the long term, the gradient allocation of medical service resources could narrow the gap between urban and rural areas to comprehensively improve regional health levels.

Full textAbstract:
In the midst of the turbulent years following the Battle of Vienna, Gülnuş Valide Sultan’s Galata New Mosque replaced the San Francesco Convent, which had been the principal Catholic shrine of Galata in Istanbul. This mosque was intentionally built on the site of the church in 1696 in order to reshape the religious and demographic character of Galata, and was probably a compensation for the recent disastrous Ottoman military defeats. It appears that economic and social constraints shaped the architecture of the mosque, which was extraordinarily modest despite being a royal mosque. The Galata New Mosque later fell into ruin, and was finally replaced by a hardware market in mid-twentieth century. Drawing on hitherto unused Ottoman archival documents, rare photographs, and other primary sources, this article sheds new light on the history and architecture of a long forgotten royal mosque. I investigate reasons for the unusual architecture of the Galata New Mosque, compare it with contemporary structures, and discuss possible factors that motivated the appropriation of a Catholic space.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Drawing findings from a large mixed-method study on perceptions of dignity, care expectations, and support in relation to older women from Black and minority-ethnic backgrounds, the purpose of this paper is to explore the interrelationships between life course events and the multiple roles adopted by women at different points in time that have shaped their perceptions of care and their care expectations in old age. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 32 semi-structured interviews were undertaken, allowing for the collection of data on the participants’ understanding of growing old, and the meaning and attributes of care and what care with dignity “looked and felt like”. The theoretical framework is guided by a life-course approach and grounded within an intersectionality perspective. The majority of the participants were migrants. Findings – Social markers such as ethnicity and cultural identity were found to influence the participants’ understanding and expectations of care with factors such as gender identity and integration in the local community also of importance. How women felt they were perceived and “recognised” by others in their everyday lives with particular focus at the time of old age with the increased potential of loss of dignity due to declining capabilities, raised the importance of the family involvement in care provision, and perceived differences in the attributes of paid and non-paid care. The notion of “care from the heart” emerged as a key attribute of care with dignity. Care with dignity was understood as a purposeful activity, undertaken with intent to show respect and to acknowledge the participants’ sense of worth and value. Practical implications – The implications of this study are relevant in the current debate taking place at the EU level about the lived experiences of ageing migrant groups and care expectations. Originality/value – The study highlights the importance of the social nature of dignity, how wider societal structures can impact and shape how care is understood for older women of migrant and minoritised backgrounds, and the need to explore migration and care across the life course.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Discussions of precarity in later life have tended to focus on the uncertainties of material resources, and the feelings of anxiety that this evokes (e.g., Lain et al. 2019) as some older people thus face the risk of being excluded from the broader society. Although scholars often point to inequalities, such as those based on class and gender, as having an influence on the likelihood of older people experiencing such precarity, ageism is considered only to the extent that it can exacerbate the impact of these statuses through, for instance, labor market experiences. Here, we expand upon the impact of ageism on the social aspects of precarity: the loss of recognition and respect as a person that is at the core of social bonds. Drawing on qualitative interviews we have conducted among Swiss, British, and U.S. older people who migrated to cheaper countries in retirement, we demonstrate that ageism can influence precarity regardless of classes. We find that even among wealthier older migrants, who otherwise might fit the image of the retiree seeking an active lifestyle in a sunny location, the attempt to escape the devaluation heaped upon older people in their original country plays an important role. In their new countries, retired migrants of all classes felt that they were valued and part of a community, and this differed from the ageism in their home countries. We thus argue that ageism be considered in future analyses of precarity in later life.

Full textAbstract:
A design may not be created instantly, without going through a process of creation. At the beginning it all starts from nothing, blank. It requires a visual research to make a visual communication. Without a visual research, the design will not have a strong meaning to be communicated. When an idea is created, the next step is to generate the idea to become a design. The first thing a designer to do is drawing a line. Line is one of the design basic elements. In the journey to make a good design, a designer requires a visual record to assist her/him in remembering what is important. A visual record contains not only visual things seen by eyes, but also the perceived things. What is felt at the moment is important because it is easier to forget than visual memory. Sense is an important element in design. A good work will easily be communicated not only by visuals but also from senses. The study was conducted as an insight into the process of making a visual record of nirmana using visual recording method in the exploration of dots and dashes. This method was used to sharpen the sensitivity of students to dots and lines. Initially, the students visited a traditional market to do the visual research. After that, they created a visual record in the form of the composition of dots and lines in nirmana to remember the taste, smell, and visual experiences.

Full textAbstract:
In seven anesthetized, beta-blocked dogs, we investigated the effects of a reduction in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) on left ventricular (LV) systolic mechanics. LV pressure and volumes (scintigraphic techniques) were measured in base-line condition, after opening one and then two arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). Volume was infused to maintain LV end-systolic pressure (LVESP). Despite a constant ESP, the mean end-systolic volume (LVESV) fell from 42 to 31 ml (P less than 0.025) when the SVR fell from 81 to 48 units (P less than 0.0025), and the LVESV fell further to 24 ml (P less than 0.0025) when the SVR was decreased to 30 units (P less than 0.025). In six similarly prepared dogs, aortic flow was measured, and when resistive afterload decreased, instantaneous flow increased. Since end-diastolic volume was not significantly changed when resistive afterload decreased, instantaneous LV volume decreased despite constant systolic LV pressure. In two of these dogs, LV pressure-volume (PV) trajectories were drawn for the ejection period. When SVR decreased there was a marked leftward shift of the PV trajectory as the end of ejection was approached. It is concluded that at a given contractile state and ventricular pressure, alterations in resistive load directly affect rate and extent of ventricular shortening.

Full textAbstract:
This article revisits the debates on the question of slave marriage that were carried on for roughly two centuries, both back and forth across the Atlantic and on the local terrain of the British West Indian plantation colonies. These debates came into critical focus during the fifty-year showdown over “amelioration,” which ended—though only in a manner of speaking—with the British Abolition Act of 1833. For a long time the lines were starkly drawn, but, in the context of laissez-faire political imperium or “indirect rule,” seldom tested. The metropolitan authorities felt some obligation to uphold the grand moral and civilizational integrity of the as-yet imperfectly imagined British Empire, as well as of Western Christendom. They, therefore, were inclined to see the slave as a species of imperial subject, still vaguely conceived within the emerging terms of reference of their global trusteeship and presumptive legal jurisdiction. They felt that, to honor the dignity of the latter, and sustain and nurture its moral legitimacy, the slaves—their subjects, ultimately—should be encouraged to marry, and their marriages should be formally marked, if only symbolically or by summary Christian rite. The planters, for their part, were unshaken in their certitude that the slaves were a species of property,theirproperty no less, and that the idea of any kind of formal marriage among them was preposterous, a great impertinence, an attack on their authority and rights of property, a threat to public safety, and a dangerous intrusion upon the sacrosanctity of European racial exclusivity and superiority.

The role of translation theory in translator education seems to be undergoing a crisis as universities struggle to provide graduates with practical, market-driven skills that will increase their employability. The overnight transition to online delivery in the time of educational disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the challenges in making theoretical courses relevant for students. This paper explores the application of the flipped classroom model in a translation theory course on the graduate (MA) level, delivered in the context of emergency remote teaching. The course is described and evaluated with the help of student feedback (N=30) elicited via an online questionnaire. The main source of data are responses to open-ended questions, which are analysed qualitatively. The data are coded for general perceptions of the flipped classroom and its four course components (videos, experimental translation assignments, forum discussion assignments, synchronous Zoom discussions), as well as for perceptions of teacher support.

Recent years have seen many changes affecting the market for professional indemnity insurance. The law is changing, widening the scope of liability. The insurance market is changing, with more mutuals and captives being formed. The price and availability of insurance are changing, too.The internationalization of professional firms has introduced new problems, with claims being brought in the jurisdiction perceived as most favourable to the claimant. The broadening range of services offered by individual firms, and the consequent growth of truly multidisciplinary firms, can only make the situation more complex.Like many other insurance markets, the market for professional indemnity insurance is cyclical. In the two or three years following 1984 most premiums more than doubled in real terms, and deductibles rose significantly. At the same time capacity fell. The result of all this change is that professionals are considering their indemnity insurance needs in a new light. The main reason for buying insurance is to provide a smooth cash flow. This need has not been met in the recent past.We therefore believe that now is an appropriate time for the attention of actuaries to be drawn to professional indemnity insurance.

Full textAbstract:
The Mongol conquests produced the last in a series of realignments of the Turkic peoples, creating, more or less, the configurations in which we find them today. The earliest of these realignments was associated with the rise and fall of the Hsiung-nu polity (second century BC to mid-second century AD). This was the first of the attempts at a pannomadic state. Mao-tun, the “Great Shanyü whom heaven has set up”, the founder of the Hsiung-nu union, boasted in a letter to the Han Court that because of his efforts “all the people who live by drawing the bow are now united into one family.”2 Činggis Qan expressed similar thoughts regarding the “people having skirts of felt” i.e. living in feltcovered tents.3 Although it cannot be demonstrated that all the Eurasian nomads were, indeed, incorporated into the Hsiung-nu polity, substantial numbers of the Turkic nomads undoubtedly were. In its formative, “heroic” years of conquest and in the course of its collapse, a number of Turkic (and other) pastoral, nomadic peoples were brought into motion along China's northern frontiers and adjoining regions. Others were pushed westward, some making their way to what is today Kazakhstan and into the Caspian-Pontic steppelands. This marked the first large-scale movement westward of Turkic peoples from Inner Asia to Central Asia and thence to the Western Eurasian steppelands. The final stages of these migrations ultimately brought some of the nomads to Danubian Europe and the Hungarian Plain.

Full textAbstract:
The author of this article analyzes how Soviet national policy and Jewish culture’s lack of legitimacy impacted the career paths of Jewish writers living in Lithuania and their relationship with the Lithuanian literary field. The article examines the careers of five Jewish writers – Hiršas Ošerovičius, Jokūbas Josadė, Ichokas Meras, Mykolas Sluckis, and Grigorijus Kanovičius – and their different relationships to the Lithuanian literary field. The author applies an interdisciplinary approach, examining these writers’ strategies within the contexts of Soviet ethnic policy and national processes. Building on previous studies, the article opens up a broader perspective on Jewish writers’ options, constraints, and choices both within Lithuania and at the union level.These examples of Soviet-era Jewish writers’ career paths reflect the considerable tensions felt by writers not belonging to the dominant culture when experiencing Soviet ethnopolitics. Writers experiencing a lack of cultural legitimacy had to maneuver: they had to blend into the Lithuanian literary field, participate in it episodically, or be involved in several literary fields simultaneously. It is possible to single out writers’ participation only within the Lithuanian literary field (Meras, Sluckis); their totally or partially articulated strategies of assimilation; their participation within the Lithuanian literary field and within rather fragmented “islands” of Yiddish literature (Josadė, Ošerovičius); as well as (drawing increasingly on the thematics of Jewish history) their active maneuvering between the Lithuanian and Russian literary fields (Kanovičius), which offered artists greater possibilities for recognition. Kanovičius’s model of the Jewish writer/artist’s participation in the empire is the most marked embodiment of the Soviet-era Jewish intellectual’s multi-layered identity.

The European Union is facing the highest natural gas prices in 15 years, owing largely to an upward trend in electricity prices, which is also on an uphill curve. However, the rise in electricity and natural gas prices is a widespread phenomenon that is being felt not only in Europe but also globally, as economic activity resumes and energy consumption returns to prepandemic levels. Consequently, this paper investigates how COVID-19 influenced the Romanian energy market. To accomplish our goal, we used daily data for variables and market indices that characterize COVID-19 and the energy market from July 1 to December 21, 2021. The results of the GARCH (1, 1) model estimation show that the major performer in Romania’s energy allocation and supply market had the highest conditional variance. In addition, the ARDL model was chosen because of the variable integration mix (order 0 and 1), as well as the VAR and the Granger causality framework. The empirical results of ARDL models provide the first conclusion of the analysis, indicating that the number of short-term connections was greater than long-term connections, which is also explained by the presence of short episodes of high volatility recorded in the investigated time interval. Another conclusion drawn from this study is that COVID-19 cases registered in Europe and around the world have made a significant contribution to explaining the evolution of the energy market, owing to the large number of cases registered in these regions and the level of contagion transmitted from these markets to the energy market. Furthermore, based on the Granger causality test results, only one-way causal relationships were identified from the variables that capture the evolution of the COVID-9 pandemic to the yields of Romanian energy companies. The novelty of this article is the examination of the impact of COVID-19 on the energy market throughout the fourth wave of coronavirus using the GARCH framework, the ARDL model, which allows for the capture of both short- and long-term reactions, the variance decomposition, and the Granger causality test. Because of the ongoing changes in the pandemic’s evolution, additional research on this topic is undoubtedly on the horizon in the near future.

The economic crisis of recent years has inevitably led to an increase in unemployment due to the decline in the economic power of the labor market. As a consequence, discomfort and consequently a decrease in quality of life is spotted in the wider work environment, which depends on both endogenous and exogenous factors. The impact of the economic crisis on the job satisfaction of nursing staff in the Region of Achaia. The present study has looked into factors such as salary, labor relations, supervision, potential earnings, the general work environment and the communication context. The Paul Spector Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) was used, consisting of a 6-step scale from full agreement of the respondent to complete discrepancy. The sample size was 100 persons, the majority of which completed the questionnaire electronically, except from nine individuals who completed the questionnaire by hand. Quantitative data analysis was used in a randomized experimental design regarding descriptive and inductive statistics. The majority of the respondents were mainly females (87%). The 25-35 years old age group was the main age group of the respondents. Regarding the question about their remuneration, 50% of respondents described it as unfair with regards to their work, which was in line with the 39% of those who generally felt that their work was not well appreciated. Furthermore, the majority of the sample felt less likely to be promoted. The conclusions drawn from the study showed that the job satisfaction of the nursing staff in the Achaia Region has been negatively affected by the economic crisis. Significant reference was made by respondents to their salary, as they believed that they should be modified to reflect a fairer recognition of the difficulty and importance of their work, and to enhance the sense of collaboration and coexistence through more efficient communication.

Turkey is about to start accession negotiations with the European Union. The question of whether Turkey qualified as a European country in terms of history and culture, was put on the European agenda by conservative European politicians in the mid-1990s and seemed to have been solved in Turkey's favour at the Helsinki summit of 1999, but it was hotly debated again throughout 2004. At the same time, a parallel debate developed among those who accepted Turkey's European credentials in principle (or felt they had to accept them). This was the debate about Turkey's state of preparedness and the degree to which the country fulfilled the so-called ‘Copenhagen Criteria’, which stipulated that candidates for membership of the EU should have a stable democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and a functioning market economy. In the end, as we know, the attempts of the ‘fundamentalist’ opposition to Turkey's candidature on the part of people like former Eurocommissioner Bolkestein, German CDU/CSU leaders Merkel and Stoiber or ex-president Giscard d'Estaing failed. Turkey's progress towards fulfilment of the Copenhagen Criteria was deemed sufficient by the European Commission, and on 17 December 2004 the momentous decision to start the accession process was taken unanimously at the summit in The Hague.Interest in the question of Turkey's candidature has meant that an extraordinary number of studies, reports, papers have appeared, analysing the current situation and drawing scenarios for the future. The authors of this Focus have not intended to add to this, or to investigate the chequered history of Turkish-European relations since the signing of the accession treaty in 1963.

Dilip Roy is a country head at Itsun Heavy Industry (India) Pvt. Ltd. (IHIIPL) in Delhi, India. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Itsun China, a leading private sector construction equipment company. Dilip graduated as a mechanical engineer with reputed National Science Talent Search Scholarship, started his career as a Graduate Trainee Engineer and became a Vice President in another company before he joined IHIIPL as a country head. Hu, the representative of Itsun China in India was exploring the Indian market and he ended up offering a job to Dilip after a series of interactions concerning the Indian Construction Equipment Industry. This was the first opportunity for Dilip to head an entire company. He knew the industry thoroughly and felt excited that finally his ambition was at the verge of fulfillment. When Dilip joined, IHIPL had yet to be incorporated though some business activities had started. Dilip's time at IHIIPL is dotted with problem after problem. The key problems encountered were confusion about reporting relationships, unresponsive head office with its unilateral decisions, and unprofessional and incompetent colleagues. Dilip had taken steps to address most of the company's problems: developing local solutions, drawing on personal resources, and hiring new staff. The business was growing fast on the back of increasing demand. Subsequently, Dilip realized that he was not considered trustworthy by the head office and was not involved in major decisions. His initial perception about his job and IHIIPL changed. Even though he was later given the certificate of honor with an invitation to attend the award ceremony in China, he left the company. This case is useful for examining the issues of cross-cultural management and leadership.

The research objective was to qualitatively analyze the effect of technological progress on economic growth, as well as the positive and negative impacts of technological developments on the economy. The research model used is a qualitative research method, namely research based on theories contained in the literature, more in the nature of descriptive and narrative descriptions. The theoretical foundation is used as a guide.

 The research results show that technology is very influential on the economy of a country. The economy is measured by Economic Growth or the value of GDP and GDP per capita. Developed countries (America, China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Singapore) with their modern technology, their economic growth rate is always positive and stable, although it can experience negative growth, the growth gap is not too big. GDP per capita is very high. Likewise, poor and underdeveloped countries (African continent) have started to catch up by starting to make business innovations using modern technologies. The impact felt by their economy began to move up, marked by high economic growth (YoY GDP), GDP per capita also started to move up.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Subjective age (SA) has been found to be a biopsychosocial marker of aging, yet little is known about factors that influence SA development. This study examined factors influencing SA using longitudinal data of community-dwelling older Japanese. Methods: Data drawn from the Kusatsu Longitudinal Study were collected during annual health check-ups in 2017 and 2018 from participants (aged 65-95) who completed all the measurement items used for this analysis (N=981). SA was indexed by asking participants to specify in years how old they felt. Proportional discrepancy scores ((subjective age - chronological age)/chronological age ×100) were calculated to indicate younger or older SAs and used as a dependent variable. As influencing factors of SA, chronological age, sex, years of schooling, history of smoking, cognitive function (using MMSE scores, range 14-30 at baseline), depressive symptoms, physical function (gait speed), and social function (employment status) were examined. Analyses were performed with random-effects GLS regression models. Results: Significant partial regression coefficients were found for cognitive function (0.48%, CI: 0.18, 0.79), years of schooling (-0.42%, CI: -0.69, -0.15), depressive symptoms (0.32%, CI: 0.11, 0.53), and chronological age (-0.18%, CI: -0.30, -0.68). Implications: This study found that older age and longer years of schooling were associated with younger SA, while better cognition and depressive symptoms were linked to older SA. Better cognition being associated with older SA was inconsistent with existing studies. This may be due in part to the association of better cognition and the level of satisfaction influenced by awareness of age-related physical/social changes.

Over the past two decades, young people have faced increasing social and economic instability. Before the world had fully recovered from the tremendous effects of the global financial crisis of 2007-08, it was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the effects of such crises being felt unevenly, what are the implications of these challenging times for the educational and professional aspirations of young people in vulnerable situations? To investigate, this paper draws on the lived experiences of young people (15-24 years old) in Portugal, ranging from early leavers from education and training to students currently enrolled both in mainstream schools and other educational institutions. The qualitative data used are drawn from two distinct research projects. By combining these two data sets, we have expanded our understanding of the impact of these crises on young people’s aspirations and educational trajectories. The findings indicate that, within the framework of successive economic, political and social crises, pre-existing situations of social vulnerability tend to intensify and may lead to disengagement from school, and even dropping out. Often, the need to help support their families leads many young people to enter a competitive and highly precarious labour market. This article renders visible the impact that structural and systemic factors – intrinsically linked to issues of inequality and social injustice – can have on the educational aspirations and trajectories of young people in a society in which ‘being in crisis’ has somehow become the new norm.

Full textAbstract:
In Ghana, sesame is cultivated in some districts of northern Ghana. Genotypes cultivated are land races that are low yielding leading to decline in production. There is the need for improvement of these land races to generate high yielding cultivars. Characterization of genetic diversity of the sesame land races will be of great value in assisting in parental lines selection for sesame breeding programmes in Ghana. Twenty-five sesame land races were collected from five districts in northern Ghana noted for sesame cultivation. Seeds collected were planted in three replicates in randomized complete block design and were evaluated for a number of morphological characters. Data collected were subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and a dendrogram showing similarity between the accessions were drawn. Data on number of capsules per plant, number of seeds per capsule, and plant height at flowering were subjected to analysis of variance using GenStat Discovery Edition 4. Molecular genetic diversity was assessed by using thirty eight SSR markers widely distributed across sesame genome to characterize the materials. Twenty-one out of the 38 primers were polymorphic. Cluster analyses using the Euclidean similarity test and a complete link clustering method were used to make a dendrogram out of the morphological data. Analysis of variance showed that capsule number was significantly different; a range of 54.9 and 146.7 was produced. The number of seeds per capsule varied significantly and the variation between highest and lowest accession in seed production was 33%. Plant height was also significantly different ranging from 60.6 to 94.1 cm. Using morphological traits the accessions clustered into two major groups and two minor groups and variation among accessions were 10-61%. On the other hand, SSR marker-based dendrogram revealed five major and two minor groups. It showed that variation among the accessions was low, 10-20%. Heterozygosity was 0.52, total alleles produced were 410, and average allele per locus was 19.52. Six accessions, C3, C4, S5, W1, W3, and W5 fell in five different clusters in the SSR dendrogram and in six clusters in the morphomolecular based dendrogram. These accessions were noted for high capsule number per plant and seeds number per capsule and are recommended for consideration as potential parental lines for breeding programme for high yield.

Abstract This paper is a reconstruction of postglacial relative sea level change and shoreline delevelling in southern Eureka Sound, High Arctic Canada. Postglacial emergence of up to 150 m is recorded in this area by raised marine deltas, beaches and washing limits that date from the early Holocene. Marine limit is metachronous and formed successively with glacier retreat. Marked contrasts in the form of relative sea level curves and rate of initial emergence are recorded from the study area. In Blind Fiord, relative sea level fell continuously following deglaciation. Initial emergence was characterised by rates of ≥ 5 m/century. This contrasts with curves from Starfish and Irene bays, where the rate of initial emergence was ≤ 1 m/century. Isobases drawn on the 8.5 ka shoreline for greater Eureka Sound demonstrate that a cell of highest emergence (≥ 130 m asl) extends along the length of the channel, and closes in the vicinity of the entrance to Norwegian Bay. This pattern confirms a distinct loading centre over Eureka Sound during the Last Glacial Maximum, and is compatible with independent glacial geological evidence indicating that the thickest ice was centred over the channel during the Late Wisconsinan.

Full textAbstract:
Historical research on intermarriage has overlooked how distinctive patterns of ethnic settlement shape partner choice and assumed that the mate selection process operated the same way for men and women. This study utilizes a sample of young married adults drawn from the 1910 Census IPUMS to examine 1) whether ethnic variation in partner choice was shaped by differences in group concentration and distribution and 2) if factors shaping outmarriage were gendered. About one fifth of young married Americans had spouses of a different ethnic background in 1910, though there was considerable ethnic variation in outmarriage propensities. Barriers to intermarriage fell at different rates, depending upon ethnic group, sex, and region of settlement; they were weakest for first- and second-generation English men. Structural factors such as group size operated differently for men and women; while larger group representation increased men's odds of outmarriage to both native stock and other white ethnic wives, women from the ethnic groups with the largest presence were significantly more likely to wed fellow ethnics than the native stock. Ultimately, even if they resided in the same location, the marriage market operated in different ways for ethnic women and men in search of mates.

Full textAbstract:
In October 1970, amidst jubilant celebrations at St Peter's in Rome, Pope Paul VI canonised forty English and Welsh martyrs as saints. Auberon Waugh called it ‘the biggest moment for English Catholicism since Catholic emancipation in 1829’. It marked the culmination of a long campaign which had begun in earnest in the mid-nineteenth century under Cardinals Wiseman and Manning, shortly after the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy. By 1935 nearly two hundred Reformation martyrs had been beatified, but only two of these had been canonised, John Fisher and Thomas More—the first Englishmen to be made saints since John of Bridlington in 1401. After the hiatus of the Second World War, the cause was revived in 1960 seeking the canonisation of another forty English martyrs. All were Roman Catholics executed under the Tudor and Stuart monarchs or the Puritan Commonwealth, ranging from Carthusian monks who fell foul in 1535 of Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy, to seminary priests who were caught up in the ‘Popish Plot’ against Charles II in 1679. All but six of the forty had been hung, drawn and quartered, many of them on the gallows at Tyburn.

Abstract The national and the popular have been an intertwined and ever-thorny topic of the relationship in cinema. So what is “national cinema?” How can national character be expressed in the cinema? When looking at, for example, the history of Brazilian cinema critics rarely felt the need to the question of what constituted a “Brazilian” film; perhaps, it seemed obvious, not worth discussing. As in so many cultures in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the cinema began as something imported for many decades, something brought to the country by foreigners. Turkey also has its own problematic relationship to colonialism: the encounter with the West is not the imposition of something external, but the liberation of something that was always internal. In Chinese culture, the cinema itself was seen as a modernizing element with far less historical baggage than any of the traditional artistic disciplines. The term popular, as in popular cinema, has its true force, perhaps, in its blurred contours and cultural contradictions; in the supposed opposition of two paradigms, one based on the market, the other drawn from anthropology. One can define the popular simply by focusing on the commercial success of individual works or by studying those things that claim for themselves or are claimed to be expressions of the thoughts, values and the feelings of the “people,” however defined. Many of the formulations of popular cinema, however construed, often imagine it as a kind of alternative practice to some kind of other, official or better produced cinema—popular cinema as oppositional cinema. The films offered a free zone, a space in which “official” or promoted values could be questioned or even refused. Yet in the end, they truly do not dislodge that imposed modernization; instead, they offer examples of how one can accommodate oneself to it.

116 Background: Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) with a GnRH agonist is the foundational systemic therapy for prostate cancer but causes gain of fat mass, loss of muscle mass, adverse changes in serum lipid profile, and a decline in insulin sensitivity. It is unknown whether ADT causes a broader pattern of metabolic alterations. In order to better characterize the metabolic effects of ADT, we measured changes in plasma metabolomic profile during the first 3 months of ADT. Methods: Fasting plasma samples were drawn from 36 subjects at baseline and after 3 months (range: 71-112 days) of GnRH agonist therapy. Metabolomic analyses were performed by Metabolon, Inc (Durham, NC). Extracted samples were split into equal parts for analysis on the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry platforms. Matched pairs t-test was used to identify biochemicals that differed between baseline and month 3. Results: Of the 504 identified metabolites, 88 changed significantly (p<0.05) from baseline to 3 months. Consistent changes in biochemicals were grouped as follows: (a) Multiple steroids were lower at 3 months, consistent with the effect of therapy on gonadal androgen synthesis. (b) Markers of lipid beta-oxidation (acetyl-carnitines and ketone bodies) and omega-oxidation were lower at 3 months. (c) Two previously-identified biomarkers of insulin resistance (2-hydroxybutyrate and branch chain keto-acid dehydrogenase complex products) were lower at 3 months. (d) Most bile acids and their metabolites were higher during treatment. Cholesterol levels changed very little (1.06 fold change, P = 0.029). Conclusions: Unbiased metabolomic analyses on fasting plasma samples from men receiving GnRH agonist therapy revealed expected, unexpected, and novel results. Steroid levels fell, consistent with the effects of ADT. Biomarkers of lipid metabolism and insulin resistance also fell, unexpected results given that ADT has previously been shown to decrease insulin sensitivity. Finally, we observed evidence of increased levels of bile acids and bile acid metabolites. Further investigation of this novel finding is warranted.

Que a arte funciona como instrumento de expressão e intervenção para a promoção da saúde e qualidade de vida, abrangendo as mais diversas linguagens, é inegável. C. G. Jung, importante psiquiatra suíço (psicologia analítica), afirmou em 1920 que, a arte é a expressão mais pura que para a demonstração do inconsciente de uma pessoa. Diante disso, partindo do conceito de “Arteterapia” da Psicologia, a ideia do projeto de extensão ARTErapia foi estabelecer uma rede para a realização de atividades, que envolviam a criatividade em diferentes vertentes da arte, por uma equipe multidisciplinar; contando com profissionais docentes e pesquisadores, contribuindo com atividades distintas das que costumavam desenvolver; além de profissionais da área de psicologia, artistas, fotógrafos, estudantes, entre outros, que em comum sentiram a necessidade de colaborar de alguma forma durante a pandemia da COVID-19. As atividades englobaram as artes tradicionais e digitais, desenvolvidas com o suporte em ferramentas digitais de web conferência. O público total alcançado pelo projeto foi de 428 pessoas, numa faixa etária entre 18 e 55 anos, sendo metade dos participantes estudantes universitários e o restante, pessoas da comunidade interessadas nos temas abordado. Foram organizados um total de 19 eventos, incluindo os temas fotografia, psicologia, mercado de trabalho, desenho; música; xilogravura; pintura e cerâmica. Maiores participações foram observadas para os eventos que abordaram o desenho e a fotografia. Os eventos foram realizados, com a participação do público universitário, bem como do público em geral, interessado em dialogar, aprender ou aperfeiçoar seu conhecimento sobre algo novo, colaborando assim para proporcionar, melhores condições de saúde mental e aproximando a universidade da comunidade, além de promover informação e capacitação de forma gratuita.

 Arterapia: Artistic activities development network to minimize the effects of the covid-19 pandemic
 Abstract: Art works as an instrument of expression and intervention for promoting health and quality of life, covering the most diverse languages. C. G. Jung, an influential Swiss psychiatrist (analytical psychology), stated in 1920 that art is the purest expression for the demonstration of the unconscious of each one. Therefore, based on the psychological concept of "Art Therapy," the main idea of the ARTErapia Extension Project was to establish a network for carrying out activities that involved creativity in different aspects of art. The multidisciplinary team included professors and researchers that contributed with activities different from those they usually develop, in addition to psychology professionals, artists, photographers, and students, among others, who, in joint, felt the need to collaborate in some way during the isolation period of the pandemic. The activities included traditional and digital arts developed with digital web conferencing tools. The total audience reached by the project was 428 people aged between 18 and 55 years. Half of the participants were university students, and the rest were community members. There were 19 events, including photography, psychology, labor market, drawing; music; woodcut; painting, and ceramics. Greater participation was observed for events about drawing and photography. The events were accomplished, with the participation of the university public, as well as the general public, interested in dialoguing, learning, or improving their knowledge about something new, thus collaborating to provide best mental health conditions and bringing the university closer to the community, in addition to promoting free information and training.

In recent years, an increase in the incidence of Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease (LD)) has been noted in the world, which causes the need for constant epidemic and clinical alertness. The causative agent of LD is Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete, transmitting agents are Ixodes ricinus mites. Migratory erythema appears at the site of mite suction, which is a marker of cutaneous manifestation of LD — an early localized (І) stage of the disease. In the presence of migratory erythema, the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis is not difficult, but in the absence of the information about tick inoculation, the diagnosis is difficult. Timely detection and treatment of LD is important to prevent chronic disease, its progression with multiorgan lesions and complications, one of which is Borrelious lymphocytoma which refers to pathognomonic cutaneous manifestations of LD as a sign of dissemination (II or III) stage.Borreliosis lymphocytoma is diagnosed by positive serological tests — detection of antibodies to B. burgdorferi. The localization of borreliosis lymphocytoma — ear lobes, areolas of the nipples of the mammary glands, axillary cavities, occiput, scrotum, rear feet — is of decisive importance for the diagnosis. Treatment of both migratory erythema and borreliosis lymphocytoma consists of antibiotics. A rare case of borreliosis lymphocytoma is described in a patient with the disease duration of more than 15 years with the localization of the pathological process on the skin of the left ear in the area of the lobe and around it. The treatment plan was drawn up in two directions: the first included antibiotics and a synthetic drug that inhibited the activity of T lymphocytes without affecting B lymphocytes; the second one included pathogenetic drugs that increase the production of antibodies, reduce the manifestations of secondary immunodeficiency and have an anti-inflammatory effect. The pictures of the patient in dynamics are presented as she recovers. After the therapy, the patient achieved clinical recovery.

Addressing the problem is not accidental. 2021 marked the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, which is rightly considered as one of the most important social phenomena, requiring especially consolidation and solidarity from the state and its citizens in order to achieve victory over the enemy. This article examines some aspects of the development of events in 1941 1945. The forms and methods of the formation of patriotism attitudes in the multinational community are analyzed, and certain controversial issues are identified and analyzed. Attention is drawn to the existing assessments of the events associated with the war. Patriotism finds its true manifestation in the conditions of the highest ethnic mobility. This period was also characterized by a special patriotism. All these factors were characteristic of backgammon in our country. Under these conditions, the party and Soviet authorities also played a significant organizing role. Many peoples' efforts were subordinated to the achievement of victories over the fascists. The sacrificial feat of the peoples was highly appreciated by the political and military leadership of the country. At the same time, special attention was paid to the issue of participation in achieving victory over the enemy not only representatives of the titular peoples, but also of many ethnic minorities. As you know, a part of the war was a partisan movement, in which not only the soldiers of the Red Army, but also the local population of a significant part of the country's regions, and especially on the territory of which military battles took place, took part.

The paper continues a series of publications of female nude figurines from the Ancient Egyptian collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. It deals with two unusual handmade clay figurines of the late Middle Kingdom and the early New Kingdom (I, 1a 5889, I, 1a 7076) which are examined in the context of other figurines of this type. Their iconography is characterized by a disproportionate head with discoid headdress, broad shoulders, small breasts, arms stretched along body, slim waist, broad hips, marked enlarged pubic triangle, navel, dimples above the buttocks, prominent rounded buttocks, long legs, poorly developed hand and feet. The face has generalized features: large carelessly drawn eyes without pupils, a protruding beak-shaped nose, pierced ears. Special attention is paid to hairstyles and jewelry. The headdress consists of a a convex disk pierced with three to six holes which likely held linen threads imitating hair with clay, mud, faience beads, shells. As for the jewelry, the figurines usually depicted: a ribbon/fillet on the forehead surrounding a convex disk, incised girdles, incised bracelets on the hands, incised body chains, one-, two-and less often three-partite modelled necklaces with or without patterns, incised necklaces of one or more rows of dots, rarely earrings in the ears. The article considers the issues of the figurines origin and the influence of Nubian and Middle Eastern cultures on their emergence. The authors conclude that despite the possible impact of other cultures the clay figurines in question were centrally produced in the Nile Valley and were close in their iconography and meaning to other female images of Ancient Egypt.

Full textAbstract:
Both short term fasting and administration of high doses of glucocorticoids lead to marked suppression of serum TSH levels in healthy subjects. However, it is not known whether the more mild serum cortisol elevations seen during fasting can account for fasting-induced TSH suppression. To study this question, eight healthy subjects each underwent three 2-day studies: 1) baseline (ad libitum diet), 2) fasting (56 h of total caloric deprivation), 3) hydrocortisone (HC) infusions at a dose and pulsatile pattern that reproduced cortisol levels measured during each subject’s fasting study. Subjects required 34–46 mg HC/24 h to achieve these cortisol levels. During each study, blood samples were drawn every 15 min during the final 24 h for serum cortisol and TSH levels. A TRH stimulation test was performed at the end of each study. By design, fasting and HC infusions induced similar mild increases in 24-h serum cortisol levels (32% over baseline), with the most significant increases seen between 1400–0200 h. Fasting decreased 24-h mean and pulsatile TSH levels 65% from baseline, whereas HC infusions decreased mean and pulsatile TSH levels 51% from baseline. Daytime (0800–0200 h) TSH levels were identical in the two studies, whereas nocturnal (0200–0800 h) TSH levels during HC infusions fell midway between baseline and fasting studies. Serum total T3 and TSH responses to TRH were decreased to a similar degree by fasting or HC infusions. These results suggest that mild elevations in endogenous cortisol levels may mediate at least in part fasting-induced changes in TSH secretion and thyroid hormone levels. In addition, these data show that near-physiological doses of HC and resulting changes in serum cortisol levels within the normal range can cause significant decreases in serum TSH levels.

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are at risk for 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency due to effluent loss in addition to traditional risk factors. Objectives To measure 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency in prevalent PD patients, to evaluate a replacement dose, and to determine the effects of correction. Methods 25(OH) vitamin D levels were drawn on prevalent PD patients. Patients deficient in 25(OH) vitamin D were given ergocalciferol, 50 000 IU orally once per week for 4 weeks. Patients scored muscle weakness, bone pain, and fatigue on a scale of 0 (none) to 5 (severe). Serum calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25(OH) vitamin D, and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D levels were obtained before and after treatment. Results 25(OH) vitamin D levels were measured in 29 PD patients. Deficiency (<15 ng/mL) was found in 28/29 (97%); 25/29 (86%) had undetectable levels (<7 ng/mL). One course of ergocalciferol corrected the deficiency in all but 1 patient, who required a second course. Scores for muscle weakness and bone pain fell from pre- to posttreatment ( p < 0.001). 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D levels rose post ergocalciferol (from 20 to 26 pg/mL, n = 20, p = 0.09). Serum calcium, phosphate, and PTH levels did not change with ergocalciferol. Conclusions Most PD patients had marked 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency, which was readily and safely corrected with one course of 50000 IU ergocalciferol, having no effect on serum calcium, phosphorus, or PTH, but complaints of muscle weakness and bone pain decreased. A prospective, placebo-controlled double-blinded study is needed to determine whether replacement of 25(OH) vitamin D is beneficial in PD patients.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the consideration of the current situation in Ukraine and the problem of choosing directions for the restoration and reconstruction of cities after the end of the Russian invasion. It is noted that as a result of the actions of the troops of the Russian Federation, up to 90% of the buildings of most Ukrainian cities and settlements that fell into the occupation zone were lost. This determines the search for ways of their future reconstruction, for which it is proposed to conduct an analysis of the stages of the historical formation of the territory of cities during the 20th - early 21st centuries. Each stage is characterized from the point of view of the political and economic situation and the main directions of architectural and urban planning activities. The factors that influenced the emergence of new stages in the state during the Soviet era have been clarified. The main role in the power structure of the Communist Party, whose political decisions were clearly determined by the actions of specialists in the architectural, urban planning and construction industry, was noted. It is noted that after the establishment of the country's independence, Ukraine's transition to market conditions, changes in the formation of urban space took place. A comparison of directions and methods of restoration and reconstruction of cities after World War II in the USSR and Europe was made, and conclusions were drawn about the opposite approaches: in the USSR, the party-command approach that ignored the opinion of the people dominated, on the contrary, in the democratic states of Europe the examples of urban restoration showed respect for the person, his location, the variety of architectural means, methods, and methods of reconstruction. Therefore, the choice of directions for the further formation of urban space in Independent Ukraine will depend on its orientation in social and political life.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosing bloodstream infections and a vital part of the work-up in systemic infections. However, contamination of blood cultures represents a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system with increased hospital length of stay, unnecessary antibiotics, and financial cost. The data discussed here offer insight into blood culture contamination rates before and through the COVID-19 pandemic at a community hospital and the processes that were affected by the pandemic. Methods Blood culture contaminations were determined by using the number of sets of blood cultures with growth and the presence of an organism from the National Healthcare Safety Network's (NHSN) commensal organism. Contamination rates were evaluated by status as a standard unit or a COVID-19 isolation unit in either the emergency department (ED) or inpatient floor units. The identified four groups had different processes for drawing blood cultures, particularly in terms of training of staff in use of diversion devices. The electronic medical record was used to track contaminations and the use of diversion devices in the different units. Results The inpatient COVID units were consistently elevated above the other units and the institutional contaminant goal of 2.25%, ranging from 9.6% to 13.3% from 4/2020-9/2020. Those units were the primary driver of the increase in overall contamination rates. COVID ED nursing staff (that had previously undergone training in the use of diversion devices) used diversion devices to draw 51 of 133 (38.3%) cultures compared to only 15 of 84 (17.9%) on the COVID inpatient units. Figure 1. Comparison of contamination rates in the ED vs the inpatient units from all campuses from September 2019 through September 2020. The blue line represents the hospital goal of 2.25% contamination rate. Solid lines represent total contamination rates including COVID isolation units whereas dotted lines represent units excluding COVID isolation units. Figure 2. Comparison of the non-COVID vs COVID isolation units in the emergency department and inpatient units. The red line represents the hospital goal of less than 2.25% for blood culture contamination rate. Table of Contaminants vs. Total Collected Blood Cultures in Each Unit by Month Figure 3. Raw data from Figure 2. Total blood culture contaminations from each unit by month compared to total blood culture collections from each unit by month. Conclusion Evaluation revealed that nursing staff with less training in blood culture collection, particularly the use of diversion devices, were the primary staff collecting blood cultures in the inpatient COVID units. The difference in training is felt to be the primary driver of the increase in contaminants in the inpatient COVID units. The marked increase in contaminations highlights the difficulties of maintaining quality control processes during an evolving pandemic and the importance of ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care. These findings demonstrate the importance of training and routine use of procedures to reduce contaminations even during. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Summary. The defined issue is the new angle to study Petro Kholodnyi Sr. heritage, that allows to research the thematic interest features and style synthesis specific to artist`s original language, where we can trace the modernist style, symbolism, byzantine style and impressionism echoes. It was observed an important group of artwork by Kholodnyi Sr. in the article. Together with the sacral heritage, they have played a significant role in the reviving of the Ukrainian national art in the first part of XX century - the compositions on the folk themes. The comprehensive review of the folk poetics in creative work by Petro Kholodnyi Sr., is lightened in context of the current historical and art-cultural realities of the defined period, that allowed to distinguish the characteristic, typical and novel features in creating, by Petro Kholodnyi Sr., the Ukrainian national art through appealing to the folk poetics. It was marked, that Petro Kholodnyi Sr. engagement in folklore was natural in context of two essential interdependent tendencies of that period: the idea of the “national reviving” in the Ukrainian culture in the first part of XX century, among the characteristic features of which – appealing to folklore as the field of the national spirit preserving and “tradition discovery”. It is defined the peculiarities of trendsetting technical performance and ideological-stylistic understanding and rendering of the folk poetics in the visual form, that expanded the idea of this source interpretation abilities in form and sense aspects of that period art searches context. Methods. For holistic analysis, author applied the following methods: form and style analysis to explore the art peculiarities of the artwork, on the Ukrainian folklore motives, by Petro Kholodnyi Sr.; comparative style analysis to detect the features of artist creation manner and its change according to certain one or other ideological-sensitive or emotional message, and to distinguish the differences, between comprehension and visual implementation of the folk poetics in Kholodnyi Sr. creative work in comparison with Russian artists, who, in their creative activities, appealed to the folk well-springs. Results. Through folk poetics, which he felt delicately, Kholodnyi Sr. propagates the most current messages of “national reviving” in early XX century. In particular, the Ukrainian national history pages he exposes via appealing to such source of its study as ballad (thought) (“The thought of the Black sea windstorm”), that added some folk-poetic colours to the theme; also he refers to one of the most famous ancient Rus literature memorials of the late XII century – “The Lay of Igor’s Campaign”, which is saturated with Slavic folk poetry motives. In compositions created by these sources, Kholodnyi Sr. not so much emphasized the ballad subject illustrations or historical annals context as the poetic highness. So there is in his artwork, even on historic themes, a strong, musical in its harmonic melody, rhythm of colourful spots and lines. That’s the important individuality of his creations. The same powerful national poetics we can also feel in his creative works on Ukrainian tales, corals and songs motives, where the emphasis is put on enlarging the emotional-sensitivity edge, but not on the external plot, that we can see in such works as “Oh, there is rye on a field”, “Ivasyk and witch” and “The tale of a girl and a peacock”. Poetry and subjective-emotional components of two last creations point out on the affinity to symbolic-modern worldview, where the reality and tale are mixed at the moment. In his works on folk themes, he combined the style trends early XX century with the national painting traditions. Particularly “The Tale of a girl and a Peacock” corresponds by style to plastic language of modern with its emphasized decorativeness, softness of lines and clear lineal drawing, but in composition “Oh, there is rye on a field” we can see the signs of late modern which includes into its art language the method of stylization one or other famous historical pattern, in this case - byzantinism. Both art work performed in discovered by artist tempera technique which allowed to get that colour tints that enchanted in the ancient Galician icons. So these paintings possess you by delicately harmonized tincture which together with folk motive, its subject and ethnographic details, like heroes’ cloths, creates the folk-national sound of composition.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) has been considered for years as a slowly progressive invasion of phenotypically homogeneous, monoclonal B cells that divide rarely and accumulate because of a primary apoptotic defect. Recent studies are clarifying that the leukemic clone can be comprised of subpopulations of cells expressing different surface markers suggestive of intraclonal diversity. Indeed, it is now widely accepted that activation signals (i.e., antigenic stimulation, interaction with accessory cells, cytokines) can push B-CLL cells into the cell cycle or rescue them from apoptosis. Unanswered questions are whether all or only a subset of cells in the clone participates in these proliferative events and to what extent those cells that have divided can be identified. We have tried to answer this by labeling those cells that divide in vivo with the non-radioactive stable isotope deuterium (2H) in the form of deuterated water. Nine B-CLL patients with leukemic clones comprising 1.7 – 97.8% CD38+ cells drank daily, for 12 weeks, an aliquot of 2H2O. CD19+CD5+CD38+ and CD19+CD5+CD38− cells were isolated from PBMC drawn after 8 weeks (labeling period) and 24 weeks (washout period) and the incorporation of 2H into equal amounts of genomic DNA was measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. At week 8, the mean 2H enrichment in the CD38+ population was higher than in the CD38− fraction (0.862 ± 0.24 vs. 0.445 ± 0.13; P = 0.034). Enhanced 2H enrichment in the CD38+ population was detected in every patient with CD38+/CD38− ratios ranging from 1.15 to 5.58. In 4 patients, the CD38+/CD38− ratio was above 2.0. In contrast, at week 24, 12 weeks after the cessation of 2H2O intake, 2H enrichment in DNA in the CD38+ vs. the CD38− population had changed. In 7 of 9 patients, the CD38+/CD38− enhancement ratios diminished, remaining essentially constant for the other 2 patients. The difference of CD38+/CD38− mean ratios at week 8 and week 24 was significant (2.254 ± 0.12 vs. 1.124 ± 0.13; P = 0.035). Moreover, the incorporation of 2H into CD38+ cells fell in 6 of 9 patients, with reciprocal increases in label incorporation in the CD38− cells for 8 of 9 patients. Thus, the differences in 2H incorporation into DNA at weeks 8 and 24 suggest either that the life spans of the two subpopulations differ (i.e., CD38+ cells may be shorter lived) or that expression of CD38 may be a dynamic process in vivo changing from positive to negative in individual cells over time after replication. These in vivo findings indicate that, within the same B-CLL patient, the leukemic subpopulation that expresses CD38 contains more cells that have recently undergone cell division than the CD38− subpopulation. This may relate to the clinical correlation of CD38 expression with poor clinical outcome. The 2H2O labeling technique provides a safe in vivo method to further fractionate the proliferative leukemic compartment as a means to better understand the pathophysiology of B-CLL and possibly provide an important target for therapy.

AbstractBesides several paintings and drawings, the Amsterdam artist Philip Ticdcman (1657-1705) left two notebooks. This study is devoted to one of them, which is kept in the Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam. In this document Tiedeman kept a record of the commissions he received between 1694 and 1697, often adding a brief description of the work, a hastily scribbled sketch and the customer's name. As well as these purely businesslike data, the artist also jotted down some extremely frank observations about himself and various people of his acquaintance. All this information enables us to form a more complete picture of Tiedeman, notably with regard to his ideas about art, his activities, his patrons and his person. As Houbraken tells us in his Groote Schouburgh, the teachers of the Hamburg-born artist were Nicolaes de Raes and Gerard de Lairesse. Tiedeman's studies with De Lairesse, which probably took place between about 1680 and 1683, with a follow-up in 1695, had a decisive influence on his artistic development. His notebook contains a variety of theoretical observations which echo De Lairesse's ideas as recorded in the Groot Schilderboek and the Grondlegginge ter Teekenkonst. In Tiedeman's opinion for instance, nature (nutura), art (ars) and practice (exercitatio) arc necessary for the making of a complete artist. He also thought that the painter should be a scholar, a pictor doctus. Tiedeman evidently cast himself in this role, judging by the marked attention his notebook pays to various iconographical and historical sources, including the Bible, Ripa's Iconologia, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Ovid's Metamorphoses. Although Tiedeman felt that artistic creation was largely an intellectual pursuit, this does not imply that he was inventive in devising his allegories. Studying the designs in his notebook, we see that his approach, in common with that of so many others, did not display great erudition: instead of gathering his information from different iconographical and historical works, he relied chiefly on Ripa's Iconologia. Tiedeman was influenced not only by his teacher's De Lairesse ideas but by his work as well. The commissions he recorded in his book show that he, too, painted ceilings and rooms and designed decorations for a wide range of objects such as fans, maps, carriages, fences, title-pages, wedding medals and tea-trays. His choice of subject-matter - he produced quite a lot of allegorical and mythological work - was entirely in keeping with the standards of his day. There was thus no lack of orders, most of which, as in the case of his teacher, came from private Amsterdam citizens. Among his patrons were wealthy merchants, many of whom were Baptists, as well as Amsterdam publishers, print and map sellers. Tiedeman's notebook is one of the few surviving seventeenth-century documents to provide a picture of the patron-artist relationship. It seems that the artist often had to cater to his customer's wishes. The information contained in the book not only gives us an idea of Tiedeman the artist but of the man himself. He did after all entrust fairly confidential information to his notebook. He emerges as a hard-working and in particular an arrogant man who nonetheless was acutely conscious of his own frustrations and deficiencies. He presents himself not only as a man burdened by his physical appearance and mental weakness, but also as the artist who, in his own words, 'by dint of constant diligence' and 'with Gods's help' had ensured that his work could be 'placed alongside the best of [his] age.' One wonders whether Tiedeman's notes were meant for his eyes only, or for others. Nothing suggests that the book was ever read by anyone else. but if not for other readers, why did he write it at all? Well, the notebook acted as an aide-mémoire to Tiedeman in his work. It was a means of letting off steam in trying circumstances, and gave him an opportunity to confess his own mistakes. Finally, as stated above, Tiedeman's work was much in demand, but little has survived. A pity, for Tiedeman's notebook would have greater appeal if we could see the final results of the concepts he jotted down in it. None of this detracts from the importance of the notebook in the Rijksprentenkabinet for affording us a glimpse of the daily round of an Amsterdam artist in the last quarter of the seventeenth century.

The beginning of the economic crisis in our country, the emergence of new elements against state security, led to the adoption in the year 1929 of the Lawfor the organization of the general state police and the Law on the organization of the rural gendarmerie. The role of policemen and gendares has intensified, both as activity and accountability. The mission of the two institutions was to ensure the maintenance of public order and security, enforcement of laws in urban and rural areas. In their jurisdiction they had: prevention of crime, investigation and prosecution of all offences provided by civil, military law, gathering of information on state security and reporting to the upper management. Regarding the police-gendarmerie relationship, very important were the Instructions of July 1930 to establish service links between the two institutions, drawn up by the General Inspectorate of Gendarmerie and approved by the Ministry of Interior. Close collaboration had to be in the interest of the service, order and public safety, without regard to other aspects. A good collaboration existed with the other local authorities. At the level of the Buzau county was constituted in the year 1931 the Administrative Cooperation Council, of which were part: the county prefect, the Chief of Police, the commander of the Legion of Gendarme, the commander of the Garrison. In the meetings were discussed the most important problems in Buzau County, as well as the measures taken. Police and gendarmerie reports record certain special events in Buzau County, such as: theft, insults, scandals, beatings, injuries, suicides, murders, accidents, fires, prunings, epidemics, disappearances, desertion, vagrancy. Measures were taken to prevent railroad attacks in order to ensure peace and public safety around the elections in order to prevent any acts of brutality on voters or supporters of one party or another. Among the powers of police and gendarmerie are the control of foreigners from towns and villages, their activity being closely supervised, and suspicious personswere banished from the country. They were checking even the Romanian citizens coming to the area, asking for information about their past from the policies of the cities where they had their last home. Police and gendarmerie received clear orders regarding the actions they had to undertake if the Communists attempted to provoke revolutionary movements and attacks against the authorities. At the same time, they informed the upper management about all meetings, congresses, meetings held in the village and the city. They reported information on how the events were, the number of participants, the people taking the floor.A number of documents deal with the legionary problem, the work carried out by the “Everything for the country“. We find that the police and gendarmerie authorities have taken repressive measures against the Legion organization. There have been searches at the home of the heads and members of the legionaries, they have confiscated weapons and various brochures, manifests. Some have been arrested, brought to military courts or been established as forced residence in other counties. Very important are the reports on the state of mind of the population, which include aspects relating to economic, social, political, minorities and religious sects. It was recorded the general dissatisfaction of the population due to the expensive clothing, footwear and food, felt in all social layers, but especially among the retired. About the minority population we learn that it consisted of: Hungarians, Bulgarians, Russians, Germans, Serbs, Polons, Turks, Greeks, Italians, Armenians, Albanians, Austrians. Among them there were people suspected of espionage. Police officers in collaboration with the Gendares played an important role in the withdrawal, control and supervision of refugees from Bessarabia and Northen Bukovina in the year 1940. For their verification, they were asked for maximum attention, some of whom may have been sent as spies. Research and supervision were difficult because of the large number of refugees and that some of them did not respect the home settlements fixed. By studying the archive documents I wanted to highlight the collaborative relations between the two structures, the cooperation missions, the formation of mixed patrols, the raids, the way to act according to the events that marked the history of Romanians.
