Abstract:
This paper aims to study the meanings of the heroine’s horse-faced mask in the story of Kaeo Na Ma. The two versions investigated here are the version composed by Prince Phuwanetnarinrit and that of the Ratcharoen written by Nai But and influenced by the former version. Since Prince Phuwanetnarinrit’s version firstly indicates that the heroine’s horse face can be removed, it is considered as a mask in this paper. Like other masks in Khon or masked drama, the horse face controls the behavior and personality of the wearer. This horse face not only signifies the heroine’s tomboyish manners as stated in other studies, but also communicates various hidden meanings complying with her other characteristics and behaviors. Five meanings are discussed here including the heroine’s unrefined behavior, self hiding, protective gear, ugliness and peculiarity, and masculinity. All of these meanings also exist in Thai sayings, in some literary works, and in the context of the story itself. This horse-faced mask enables the heroine to present her ‘self’ in three different guises and personalities, namely the character of a comedian in the figure of Nang Kaeo; a heroine in the figure of Nang Mani; and a hero in the figure of Manop, an unnamed man. Compared to the abstract meaning of wearing many masks at the same time, Nang Kaeo is very efficient in performing several duties at the same time. She takes good care of her family and society. It can be said that she is really the first warrior heroine in Thai literature and has much influence on other warrior heroines in Thai tales. Nonetheless, as beauty is a typical characteristic of Thai heroines, the hero in this story has to remove Nang Kaeo’s horse face before appointing her his queen — the act that proves the denial of an ugly heroine in Thai tales.

Abstract:
A girl as the title character rarely appeared in written in the 1920s young adult literature about the Russian Civil War. The article discusses the novella “Little Red Devils” (1923) by Pavel Blyakhin, in which a teenage girl Dunyasha becomes a participant in the Russian Civil War. The important feature of this text was the author’s attention to gender and national characteristics, which undoubtedly corresponded to the political agenda of the 1920s. Blyakhin creates an active heroine who in many respects matches the heroines of the Russian Civil War as they are portrayed in adult literature. A typical characteristic of such heroines is the appropriated masculinity along with the girl’s features. The presence of typologically similar characters contributed to the creation of a single field of children’s and adult literature about the Russian Civil War. Feminine traits are generally interpreted as positive, and the writer tries to combine them with the category of heroic. At the same time, Dunyasha is not much different from the title heroine of Lidiya Charskaya’s novel “Igor and Militsa” (1915). Blyakhin does not cancel the exploits of the heroine, unlike Charskaya who at the end of the novel remembers about “female destiny”, but fixes gender equality, which corresponds to the new gender order, and this is his innovation.

Full text
Abstract:
Focusing on Unakan, the heroine in male disguise in Bot lakhon nai reung Inao, this paper aims at studying the roles and significance of her character that reflect the outstanding image of a heroine in Thai literature. In the story, Butsaba, the heroine, is disguised by her divine ancestor, Patarakala, as a young man named Unakan. The study reveals that Unakan possesses the characteristics of both hero and heroine. By portraying the roles as parallel to Inao, the hero of the story, Unakan is a great warrior and a dignified hero who has irresistible charm to women. She also searches for the lost lover which is generally the role of a hero. These roles are usually found in many versions of the Panji romances. It reflects that the poet kept these outstanding roles of the Panji romances' heroines. Still, Unakan preserves the same characteristics as other heroines in the Thai literary convention. Unakan does not only have perfect beauty and conduct like other Thai ideal women, but she also represents an ideal wife. The character of Unakan has significance to literary aesthetics and values, to the criticism of women’s potential, and to Thai literary tradition.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of the study is to show that the prose works by the Tang dynasty writers reflected the new ethnotype of Chinese women, formed in the minds of the Chinese during this period. The study is original in that it is the first in Russian sinology to carry out a comparative analysis of female images in ancient and medieval Chinese literature. In the songs of the ancient Chinese poetic collection ‘Shijing’, the portrait included not only descriptions of women, but also a list of moral qualities and less often the behavior of the heroines, but did not touch upon their character traits. The authors of short stories of the Tang dynasty refuse to describe heroines’ appearance and expand the circle of female characters, adding celestials and foxes who take the form of a woman. The results have shown that in medieval literature, the description of a heroine’s appearance played an insignificant role and most often amounted to using the epithet ‘beauty’ without paying attention to the details adopted in archaic literature. The problem of the relationship between the descriptions of details in heroines’ portraits and their character traits and behavior is discussed. As a result, it has been proved that in the prose works under study, priority is given to the moral qualities of female characters, which indicates the influence of Confucian ideology on the authors during the period under consideration.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to the research of sacrifice as an important feature of A.N. Ostrovsky’s heroines. The detailed analysis of the heroine results in the suggestion of a new word. The word is “vyvedennostʼ” (productivity). It is the basic feature of the central character. The meaning of this word is based on the special heroine, who acts and lives in the real period of time. Her actions are influenced by the other people. Moreover, her dialogues make her unusual and not typical person for that period of time. The purpose of the article is to introduce the complex analysis of the heroines’ images in A.N. Ostrovsky’s works. This analysis builds a system of important aspects of all the ideas of the author’s works. The methods that suit for description are: structural-descriptive, descriptive-functional and comparative-historical methods. The research proves that women’s characters and their lives have become one of the most fundamental elements in the development of Russian literature, which reflects deep social problems of the Russian woman in the society of the XIX century.

Abstract:
Byron’s women characters have typically been seen as, in Hazlitt’s early observation, ‘yielding slaves’. My study re-examines that assumption, finding instead, across Byron’s career, an abiding concern with the active individuality of women, and, more especially, with the creation of a specifically female form of heroism. Recent critical attention has discussed women in Byron’s poetry in general, notably Nigel Leask (British Romantic Writers and the East: Anxieties of Empire, 2004) and Susan Wolfson (Borderlines: The Shiftings of Gender in British Romanticism, 2006), but Byronic female heroism has gone unstudied. Caroline Franklin’s sociologically couched work (Byron’s Heroines, 1992) is one of the few to tackle the heroine, but she understands the term merely as ‘female protagonist’: my interest, by contrast, is in the development of a specific, new kind of gendered heroism. Byron’s representation of women takes shape within a number of discrete but inter-related discourses. The thesis examines the manner in which Byron engaged with previous literary and historical representations of proscribed gender roles. I remain alert to the literary heritage of Byron’s representation of female heroism, which extends beyond his own socio-historical context. The thesis is organised within the three major influences: (i) contemporary writings on gender and women, and a consideration of how Byron has ‘resisted’ availability for feminist critique, this being a result of an insufficiently nuanced approach to his poetry; (ii) eighteenth-century writings on the Orient and Oceania, which examines the concepts of Orient and Other as central to the destabilization of fixed perimeters of gender spheres in Byron’s Turkish Tales; (iii) epic, which establishes Byron’s relationship with his literary predecessors as one of reformation and resistance before demonstrating how Byron’s particular form of heroism and epic was one way that he made room for the heroic female. The thesis concludes with a brief coda, which extends the parameters of the governing concerns of the thesis, gender and heroism, arguing that Don Juan becomes a formal realization of the gendered heroics of Byron’s poetic consciousness.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I examined three novels by African American science fiction novelist Octavia Butler: Kindred (1979), Parable of the Sower (1994), Parable of the Talents (1998) and Dawn (1987). I analyzed Butler's belief that society has become too firmly attached to old customs and belief systems, initiating destructive, self-defeating cycles in our history. She looks to African American females to take up leadership roles and exact radical change to ensure society's continued survival as well as progress, acceptance and autonomy within our communities. I also established Butler's significant contributions to the African American literary canon as she examines the history of African Americans and speculates on their necessary roles of shaping the future of society.

Himes, Amanda E. "Looking for comfort: heroines, readers, and Jane Austen's novels." Texas A&M University, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/4929.

Full text
Abstract:
Comfort—with its various connotations of physical ease, wealth, independence, and service—is an important concept to Jane Austen, who uses comfort in her novels to both affirm and challenge accepted women’s roles and status in her culture. In the late eighteenth century, new ideas of physical comfort emerged out of luxury along with a growing middle class, to become something both English people and foreigners identified with English culture. The perceived ability of the English to comfort well gave them a reason for national pride during a time of great anxieties about France’s cultural and military might, and Austen participates in her culture’s struggle to define itself against France. Austen’s “comfort” is the term she frequently associates with women, home, and Englishness in her works. Austen’s depiction of female protagonists engaged in the work of comforting solaces modern readers, who often long for the comfort, good manners, and leisure presented in the novels. Surveys of two sample groups, 139 members of the Jane Austen Society of North America and 40 members of the online Republic of Pemberley, elicit data confirming how current readers of Austen turn to her works for comfort during times of stress or depression. Although some readers describe using Austen’s novels as a form of escapism, others view their reading as instructive for dealing with human failings, for gaining perspective on personal difficulties, and for stimulating their intellects. Austen’s fiction grapples with disturbing possibilities, such as the liminal position of powerless single women at the mercy of the marriage market and fickle family wishes, as much as it provides comforting answers. Comforts (decent housing, love in marriage, social interaction) are such a powerful draw in Austen’s works because women’s discomfort is so visible, and for many, so likely. Thus, Austen’s comfort challenges as much as it reassures her audience.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent decades have seen an increase in feminist critiques of the works of Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872), and a growing awareness that these deal with contemporary issues around the social roles of women. This study builds on exsiting feminist-themed examinations of Grillparzer's works to show more fully how they fit into the context of calls for women's rights in nineteenth-century Austria. New interpretations of Grillparzer's heroines are made possible by considering the full spectrum of the author's intellectual interests and examining his dramas through the lenses suggested by his reading. Des Meeres und der Liebe Wellen is seen in the context of the Enlightenment, and Sappho and Libussa are analysed with reference to social contract theory. Contemporary feminist approaches are combined with Schiller's thought on stadial history, and with Grillparzer's analysis of Shakespeare's Macbeth, to give new insight into Das goldene Vließ and Die Jüdin von Toledo respectively. Consideration of the lives and works of Grillparzer's female friends provides the context for my analysis, and helps define the original nature of this thesis. While several earlier studies have argued for the influence of Grillparzer's romantic interests on the construction of his heroines, sufficient attention has not been given to these heroines in the context of the intellectual women Grillparzer knew. While I do not argue that Grillparzer's heroines were influenced by the authors and other prominent women he knew, examination of the lives and works of Caroline Pichler, Betty Paoli, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Sophie Schröder and others shows that Grillparzer was on friendly terms with intellectual women throughout his career, and that all of these women were to some degree critical of the contemporary social situation of women.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractAs embodiment plays a central role in Victorian novels exploring women’s journeys, the interdependence of health and travel comes expressly to light in Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady (1881) and Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891). In both novels, protagonists navigate possibilities and perils of motion while embarking on international voyages and rural wanderings. On the one hand, the mobility of Isabel Archer and Tess Durbeyfield merges a focus on the proliferation of transportation technology and medical tourism in Victorian society with depictions of movement as an enabler of female autonomy. On the other hand, the heroines’ exertions are contrasted against their family networks, male characters suffering from illness, and infant deaths intertwined with immobility. In this respect, the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty provides insight into the embodied enactment and somatic sensation of physical motion. Centred around three elements of movement, the ailing body, and maternity connecting James’s and Hardy’s publications, Natasha Anderson’s chapter examines Isabel and Tess navigating interdependencies of illness and mobility as the young women encounter freedoms and limitations of health in the familial sphere alongside gendered allowances of movement spanning physical activities and transnational travel.

Abstract:
“Depend on Heaven for food” (kao tian chi fan, 靠天吃飯) is a well-known Chinese proverb. The presumed author of this expression was Wen Kang (文康), his novel Legend of Heroes and Heroines (儿女英雄傳) Ernü Yingxiong Zhuan first published in late 1870s became very popular. The expression “depend on Heaven for food” is from the 33rd chapter of the novel. Yet, the image under the title Picture Depend on Heaven for Food (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) appeared earlier than novel: two stone steles dated 1813 with the same picture, but different commentary text. In the academician Vasyli M. Alekseev’s collection of Chinese popular prints nianhua there are several engravings on this subject, the explanations for which are in the notebooks of the Chinese xiansheng mentors V. M. Alekseev to his collections of folk art (St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, fund 820, inv. 1, files 473, 479a). And finally we can compare xiansheng comments to (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) with the essay on the same subject by Lu Xun in his Qie Jie Ting Essay Collection (雜文集: 且介亭雜文二 集, 1935).

Abstract:
The paper is devoted to the peculiarities of the man image in Japanese woman writer Okamoto Kanoko’s fiction. As a rule, the hero-lover (victim) has not the indispensable vitality and innate power. He is sickly or weak-minded. His fragility and passivity are contrasted with heroine’s (vampire) strength and assertiveness. The demonic motif is ubiquitous in Okamoto Kanoko’s stories. In other side, the man image is not a “lover”, but a “son”, which cult was set in her works. In certain cases heroine’s attitude to a hero leads to the erotic conflict.

Abstract:
In the center of the works studied, Tōkaidōchū hizakurige by Jippensha Ikku and Tōkaidō gojyūsantsugi by Okamoto Kanoko, lies a journey of the characters along the Tōkaidō road. Despite the fact that the two works are of different genres and are more than one hundred years apart from each other, the space of the Tōkaidō road is a common element for them, wherein the ways of expression of the chronotope of the road varies for both authors. The Tōkaidō road in Ikku’s work is a specific “anti- world” — a grotesque, carnival dimension, where sensuous pleasures and humor rule. The dimension here is discrete, the time in this chronotope is linear and “endless”. In Tōkaidō gojyūsantsugi, in opposite, amidst the Tōkaidō road, a “micro-world” of a heroine, a journey into the deepest layers of her soul is taking place. With the heroes of past and present, wandering along the road in reality and in fantasy, the heroine finally finds her own place in the changing world.

Abstract:
This paper explores how the film Rouge (1987) adapts and transforms traditional ghost narratives and how the cinematic anxiety of time is associated with the countdown temporality of Hong Kong in the 1980s. I argue that Rouge transforms two narrative structures of traditional Chinese literature — Caizi-jiaren (scholar-beauty) and the “historical ghost tale” — to foreground the particular temporality of Hong Kong. Firstly, the returning of the female ghost and her failure in pursuit of love intensifies the conflict between the modern linear time and the cosmological ghostly time and poignantly manifests the impossibility of a fifty-year unchanged commitment. Secondly, unlike traditional “historical ghost tales” in which ghosts were called back by traumas of the collapse of old dynasties, the revenant of the heroin in this film returns to the living world for the prearranged trauma of the future, due to the particular temporality of countdown Hong Kong has confronted since 1982. The countdown forced Hong Kong to enter a circular time and to experience the prearranged calamity in the future. Thus, I contend that this film rehearses a demise of Hong Kong, which exacerbates, rather than alleviates, the anxiety and pain associated with the traumatic experience.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is, through a clinical case, to review the literature on psychosis secondary to methadone withdrawal. Observation of the patient and consultation of the clinical file. Non-systematic literature review on methadone use, methadone discontinuation and dual pathology. A 47-year-old male, history of opioid and cannabinoid use disorder, currently in abstinence and under opioid substitution therapy with methadone. After abrupt discontinuation of methadone, he began presenting delusional ideas of jealousy and persecution with multiple delusional interpretations. A diagnosis of persistent delusional disorder was made, and he was medicated with long-term injectable aripiprazole. Methadone is a synthetic opioid agonist used to treat addictions to opioids, such as heroin. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) contributes to cessation or reduction of heroin use, reduced risk of HIV and hepatitis virus infections, decreased mortality, improved family and social relationships and employment status. Side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting, sweating, respiratory depression and prolongation of the QT interval. Other important consequences are precipitation of withdrawal symptoms with consequent relapse to heroin use and withdrawal from MMT. Methadone withdrawal leads to the classic symptoms of opiate withdrawal - abnormalities in vital signs, dilated pupils, agitation, irritability, insomnia, sneezing, nausea and vomiting. In a minority of cases, it can lead to the sudden onset of affective disorders and psychotic disorders. Although scarce, psychotic symptoms after opioid withdrawal have already been described in the literature. Opioids function not only as neurotransmitters, but also as neuromodulators that may be involved in the regulation of the dopaminergic system. An altered neuromodulation of the central opioid-dopamine systems due to long-term MTM may be related to psychotic pathogenesis. Considering the high prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with substance use disorder, it's important to pay attention and monitor any change in opioid medication, with close observation for possible psychotic symptoms.

Abstract:
In March 2016, the Assembly of the Republic of North Macedonia amended the Law on Control of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, giving the possibility for North Macedonia to join a growing number of countries that allow for the cultivation and exportation of medical cannabis. As a result, for the past five years it has been legal to grow cannabis for medical purposes, and to refine, extract and produce hemp seed and cannabis oil. Given the current economic unprofitability of cannabis production, primarily due to high production costs and uncertain marketing, many companies are idle, i.e., waiting for legal changes that will make it possible for them to export dried cannabis flowers. The purpose of this paper is to answer the following hypotheses: (1) Does the inability to achieve the required quality of cannabis imply a new draft Law on Control of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances? (2) Which are the positive versus the negative implications regarding the legal changes? (3) Determining the security implications, given that Macedonia is a transit point on the marijuana smuggling route from Albania and Kosovo to Turkey, where it is replaced by heroin, which is later sold to the Balkans and Western Europe. (4) Can the Government establish an effective system of control? For the purposes of this paper, a desk analysis of primary and secondary literature will be conducted as well as interviews with the relevant stakeholders. Key words: cannabis, heroin, Law, smuggling, routes, seizure

Abstract:
1.Objective: Dual diagnosis patients perpetrate crime more often than healthy individuals and is of great importance for forensic mental health services. However, in dual diagnosis patients, very little is known about factors explaining criminal behavior. This work aims to summarize the epidemiological and clinical approach of dual diagnosis patients, focusing on the Iberian Peninsula scope. Aditionaly, it aims to analyse the state of the art regarding associations between demographic and clinical factors and perpetration of crime in dual disorder patients. 2. Method: A non-systematic review of the literature is presented. Bibliographic selection was carried out through keyword research in MEDLINE and Google Scholar. 3. Results and conclusions: Perpetration of violence was independently associated with younger age, severity of alcohol use problems, lifetime trauma exposure, and higher manic symptom scores. The three drugs most commonly associated with the drugs–crime connection are heroin, crack and cocaine. A study conducted in penitentiary centers of the Interior in Spain found a high percentage of dual pathology (81.4%) In the portuguese largest security ward, in Coimbra, 40.5% of the sample had dual diagnosis disorders. Forensic units must take an integrated approach to addressing substance-use disorders. It is needed to consider not only the complexities of the substance misuse and the mental disorder, but also the offending behaviour that brought them into the forensic services. Also, social skills can effectively be improved in dual diagnosis patients. Further research is required to identify additional risk factors, such as individual substances of abuse, and establish a causal model leading to criminal perpetration.

Abstract:
In the last few decades, the southern route’s use for drug trafficking gained prominence as increased law enforcement and unrest in the Middle East made the traditional ‘Balkan route’ less viable. This southern route transports drugs, mainly heroin, from its production in Afghanistan to Pakistan or Iran, to eastern Africa – including Tanzania and Mozambique- and consequently to South Africa, after which it is moved to Europe (Aucoin, 2018; Otto &amp; Jernberg, 2020). Notable targets of trafficking via the southern route have been the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands (UNDOC, 2015). It is difficult to know for certain the quantities of drugs being trafficked through eastern Africa, but the literature puts it at up to 40 tonnes, with 5 of those staying behind, while the rest is transported overseas (Haysom et al., 2018a, 2018b). Due to various political and economic shifts, methamphetamines produced in Afghanistan recently also began to be trafficked alongside heroin shipments through the southern route, with recent estimates putting it at 50% of drugs being trafficked (Eligh, 2021). Most of the literature agrees that, in recent years, drug trafficking routes in eastern Africa have shifted due to political changes, but there is no evidence to suggest that the amount being trafficked have decreased.
