Vdovychenko, Heorhii. "MODERN UKRAINIAN PHILOSOPHICAL SINOLOGY AT THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF UKRAINE: CLASSIC AND INNOVATIVE WAYS TO THE ORIGINS". Bulletin of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Philosophy, n. 9 (2023): 5–12. http://dx.doi.org/10.17721/2523-4064.2023/9-1/15.

B a c k g r o u n d . According to the genre characteristics, the article is a form of publicizing analytical conclusions from the experience of research in the field of the philosophical Chinese studies at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine from 1991 to the present day. The material for understanding was supplied from the environment of scientific professional activity of prominent figures of Ukrainian philosophical Sinology from the H. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the NAS of Ukraine and the A. Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies of the NAS of Ukraine. The scientific achievements of academic Sinologists, who are leading researchers of Chinese philosophical education, science and culture from the archaic to modern times, are highlighted. They are, namely: V. Kiktenko, V. Pyrohiv, V. Hamianin, S. Kapranov, Y. Hobova and A. Usyk. M e t h o d s . The article uses an analytical approach based on the study of historical and philosophical sources. The methodological basis of the research is the main methods of historical and philosophical science: problem-categorical analysis, socio-cultural analysis and biographical analysis. At the same time, the methods of situational and contextual analysis of scientific texts are applied. R e s u l t s . Four conditional thematic vectors of the progress of academic philosophical Sinology in modern Ukraine are classified, namely the study of: 1. the history of ancient Chinese philosophy, especially Confucianism; 2. the history of Chinese philosophy in the 19th – early 21st centuries; 3) the history of Ukrainian Sinology in the 18th – early 21st centuries; 4. the history of modern foreign Sinology. The director of the A. Krymskyi Institute of Oriental Studies of the NAS of Ukraine and the head of the Ukrainian Association of Sinologists V. Kiktenko very effectively studies all these vectors, especially the last three of them. His colleagues at the institute V. Pyrohiv, V. Hamianin and Y. Hobova mainly research the first of these vectors, and primarily the history of Confucianism. Employees of the H. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the NAS of Ukraine S. Kapranov and A. Usyk are also focused scientific attention on the history of Confucianism, in particular, the second of them studies social ethics and anthropology of Confucius. C o n c l u s i o n s . As a result it was established that modern domestic philosophical academic Sinology is a qualitatively new and innovative direction of Oriental studies in independent Ukraine. This discipline was formed as a result of the two-century progress of Ukrainian Chinese studies from the era of Hetmanshina until now. V. Kiktenko and his colleagues have made a significant and already internationally recognized contribution to the study of both the classical philosophical schools of Ancient China and their ideological heirs, in particular, the leaders of the PRC and the CCP from Deng Xiaoping to Xi Jinping during these thirty years. V. Kiktenko also laid the foundations for the study both of the history of Ukrainian Chinese studies and of modern foreign, primarily Western European and North American, Sinology.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The editions of Arnaut’s sestina and the history of its study reflect the general trend: both its editors and researchers endow trobadours’ lyrics with an elevated meaning. This is also noticeable when referring to their other poems; however, this tendency can be traced especially clearly in the case of sestina. In the early manuscripts A, B and S (13th century) its text is obscene: the key words-rhymes “cambra” (room) and “verja” (branch) have the meaning of obscene euphemisms, and the tornada itself frankly expresses the poet’s hope for a carnal union with his beloved. This variant of tornada seems to us a possible author’s ending of the poem, since it corresponds to its other verses. In addition, we believe that by singing the carnal and “close” love Arnaut argues with the famous song of love from afar by Jaufre Rudel. In the later manuscripts, the obscene sense of tornada became more obscure, and in the two of them — U (turn of the 13th–14th centuries) and C (15th century) — obvious is the intention of the scribes to put accent on the beauty of the poem rather than its content. In the editions of 19th–21st centuries the sense of the sestina and of its tornada has continued to be transformed in the same direction.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article deals with the phenomenon of border in changing historical reality of two distant territories, that is important today due to the increasing interest in “border studies” as a new interdisciplinary scientific field that combines history, geography, political science and philological research at the turn of 21st century. The study involves folklore and literary works, the plots of which are localized on the borders between Russia and China: the South-East of Siberia and the Far East (Transbaikalia), the USA and Mexico: the U. S. South-West (New Mexico, Texas, California). The purpose of the article is to identify typological convergence and differences in the artistic depiction of these boundary loci in the context of their historical development. The methodological basis of the research is made up of works devoted to the geocultural and geopoetic aspects of literary studies. The article uses cultural and historical, comparative and typological, structural and semiotic methods and axiological text analysis. It is confirmed that essential geopoetic principle of the Russian-Chinese and Mexican-American borderland texts is antithesis built on the opposition of “friend/foe”. It was revealed that folklore and literary texts demonstrate convergences in the geopoetic image of the border: boundless space considered basic element of imagery and a certain type of strong and active “border hero”. Differences in the depiction of the images result from the peculiarities of the historical process and, accordingly, the different value priorities. Prospects for the research can be associated with the expansion of the “border studies” field by means of history and philology integration.

S obzirom na porast oružanog nasilja na samome početku 2000-ih godina, hrvatsko je Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova 2007. godine u suradnji s Programom Ujedinjenih naroda za razvoj (UNDP-om) pokrenulo nacionalnu strategiju razoružanja koja je uključivala programe dobrovoljnog prikupljanja oružja, zakonsku amnestiju i kampanje s ciljem podizanja svijesti građana. Od početka primjene ove strategije prošlo je 10 godina te se u radu istražuje kako se strategija razvijala, nastoji se procijeniti njezin učinak te ispitati koliko je strategija relevantna i kakvi su učinci njenih komponenti. Autori analiziraju kontekst primjene strategije i važeće politike u državi te su primijenili nekoliko indikatora kako bi procijenili učinak i rezultate programa. Glavni je zaključak rada da je provedba programa dobrovoljnog prikupljanja oružja pod nazivom „Citizen Alert“ i „Disarmament for Development“, primjena zakonske amnestije i provedba kampanje za podizanje svijesti pod nazivom „Manje oružja – manje tragedija“ imala sveukupan pozitivan učinak na sigurnosnu situaciju u Hrvatskoj. S jedne strane provedba svih ovih aktivnosti pripomogla je znatnom i postojanom padu stope kriminala i nasilja, dok je s druge strane rezultirala prikupljanjem velikih količina malog i lakog oružja, streljiva i eksploziva. Autori nisu utvrdili negativne učinke ili posljedice primjene programa. Ipak, učinak programa na stopu oružanog nasilja ne može se promatrati izdvojen iz šireg konteksta jer su se istodobno odvijale strukturne reforme i događale opsežne promjene politika. Sve je to trajalo dulje od jednog desetljeća i utjecalo na više područja, uključujući oružane snage, policiju i pravosudne ustanove. Učinak tako dalekosežnih reformi u sve naprednijem socioekonomskom okružju ne smije se podcijeniti, no pretpostavlja se da u kombinaciji s moćnom strategijom razoružanja predstavljaju nesumnjiv dodatni uspjeh.

Istraživanje analizira ubrzanje povijesti kojem prisustvujemo u našem vremenu, a koje je bjelodano s izbijanjem rata u Ukrajini, bivajući u proteklim godinama vidljivo i u nizu drugih događaja i kriza, kakvi se u ovako značajnom intenzitetu i frekventnosti nisu događali još od vremena završetka Drugoga svjetskog rata. Razmatrajući rat u Ukrajini i krize koje su mu prethodile osporava se teza historičara Erica Hobsbawma da se »kratko« 20. stoljeće koje je trajalo od Prvoga svjetskog rata »kao doba ekstrema« završilo padom »komunizma« i Berlinskog zida, nakon čega smo ušli u 21. stoljeće. Nasuprot ovoj tezi, kao i nasuprot poznatoj tezi o »kraju povijesti«, rad iznosi tezu da »politički« još uvijek živimo u 20. stoljeću, s obzirom na to da u našem vremenu i dalje postoje napetosti među velikim silama slične onima koje su obilježile i 20. stoljeće i koje općenito obilježavaju moderni svijet od Westfalskog mira u 17. stoljeću naovamo. Ovu općenitu tezu rad obrazlaže promatrajući u najosnovnijim crtama dijalektiku moderne europske i svjetske povijesti i zaključujući da ne samo što »politički« još uvijek živimo u »dugom« 20. stoljeću već još uvijek živimo i u »najdužem« westfalskom klasičnom modernom vijeku koji neprekidno traje tri i pol stoljeća u uvijek istim dijalektičkim proturječjima svjetske politike. Naposljetku, rad razmatra i zada- ću filozofije u vremenu tzv. »ubrzanja povijesti« kakvo je naše te zaključuje kako je filozofija upravo u ovakvim vremenima, hoće li se potvrditi kao znanost, dužna ponuditi jednu svježu i kreativnu »filozofiju povijesti« koja bi objasnila tijek aktualnih međunarodnih događaja.

Background. The article focuses on articulating the role of chromatic button accordion in the modern sociocultural system of Ukrainian musical art, based on the case of one leading school established in 1951 on the basis of Kharkiv National Kotlyarevskyj University of Arts. Objectives. The objective of the article is to provide an analysis of Kharkiv regional accordion school (since the second half of the 20th century to the present day), as well as its personalities using as an example five generations of performersteachers. Methodology of the study includes researching of the history and practice of performing chromatic button accordion (the fundamental works of M. Imkhanycjkyj, U. Loshkova, I. Snjedkov, A. Mirek, А. Stashevskyj) Results. After the invention of the chromatic button accordion a little over 100 years ago, it went from a primitive musical instrument satisfying everyday needs to one recognized on the professional concert stage. The status of the instrument has been changing hand in hand with its improvement and the creation of original repertoire. Now the chromatic button accordion is on par with other academic instruments recognized worldwide. Currently there are four chromatic button accordion schools in Ukraine - in Kyiv, Odessa, Lviv and Kharkiv. Kharkiv has been viewed as a regional center of development of the chromatic button accordion performing since early 20-ies of the 20th century. However, the original “Kharkiv school of performing” was fully established with the opening of the chromatic button accordion class at the orchestra department of the University in 1951. This event became final in the formation of the system of professional chromatic button accordionists and teachers preparation. It is as follows: music school, music college, conservatory. The founder of the chromatic button accordion class was L. M. Horenko (1925- 1989). Volodymyr Yakovych Podgornyj (1928-2010), an outstanding performer, composer and teacher, played the key role in the formation of Kharkiv original chromatic button accordion school. His unique compositional and performing style dramatically changed the teaching methodology, performance priorities, approaches to transcription and translation of works for an chromatic button accordion, the “harmonic mindset”. Volodymyr Yakovych contributed greatly to the creation of original chromatic button accordion repertoire which surpassed existing samples in its quality, giving a new direction to the chromatic button accordion development not only in Kharkiv, Ukraine but also abroad. Thus, L. M. Horenko and V. Y. Podgornyj became the first generation of chromatic button accordion teachers in Kharkiv National Kotlyarevskyj University of Arts. The second generation of teachers at the department including Podgornyj’s students O. I. Nasarenko and A. P. Ghaidenko used to uphold these principles, but they also brought additional details generally related to their inherent features of character. The representatives of the third generation at the department - professors O. V. Mishhenko and I. I. Snjedkov brought innovative characteristics to the general terms of the performing school. They have been known to pay attention to the logic of dramatic development, conciseness of musical forms, technical perfection, academicism, the balance of the emotional and rational performance components, the perfection of small intonation pieces. The fourth generation includes Andrij Ghetman who`d been working since 1995 to 2007, and Andrij Strilets who started his career in 1998. They both were students of Kharkiv chromatic button accordion school taught by Professor I. I. Snjedkov. Following general principles of “Podgornyj school”, those personalities deviate significantly from the original source. A. Ghetman’s performing is characterized by specific academicism both in the quality of performing and in selecting a concert repertoire. A. Strilets distinguishes by advanced orchestral thinking, focused work with the viewer, attention to a musical phrase structure, expressiveness and emotional completeness of performance. The fifth generation consists of Dmytro Zharikov (a soloist of the regional Philharmonic society) who has received a Master’s degree at Rostov Academy of Music named after. S. V. Rakhmaninov under the direction of the world-famous accordion player Yurij Shyshkin and Yurij Djjachenko (a student of O. I. Nasarenko) who teaches the conducting course. They have worked at the department since 2015. Conclusion. The modern chromatic button accordion through developing in the plane of professional instrumental performing, repeats the path of other famous academic musical instruments. Moreover, Kharkiv regional accordion school, being one of the leading development centers of the chromatic button accordion in Ukraine, has entered the value system of the 21st century culture. Its development and increasing authority in the world arena are related to: 1) the further integration into the extensive network of European music universities; 2) experience exchange not only at the level of teaching methods, but also through the introduction of exchange programs with students from leading conservatories of different countries worldwide; 3) the creation of the conditions for the training of a certain unification specialists according to the existing genre and stylistic directions of performance on chromatic button accordion; 4) the orientation on the implementation of all the advanced instruments constructive capabilities (sound production and strokes) and timbral coloring; 5) the search for forms of the chromatic button accordion (as an academic instrument) creative synthesis: from established forms of ensembles (such as strings or wind) to modern theatrical, vocal and dance performances, music and light show.

The author analyzes the geopolitical restoration of Russia during the first two decades of the 21st century. The starting point is that liberalism and globalism have been trying for four decades to remove all forms of geopolitical differences from the public, societal and political sphere, i.e. all cultural, national, religious, ideological, state variances. This was labelled the end of history. However, despite this, for the last 20 years we have witnessed a return of history. The author shows that the return of history is reflected in the return of Russia to the world stage not only as a great power, but by a general geopolitical renewal in Russia itself. The paper gives three descriptions and analyses of that return. First, the paper analyzes the character of the new Russia. The geopolitical identity and certain geopolitical practices of Russia are examined. Second, the ideological character of the Russian return is considered, which as such represents an alternative to Western liberalism and globalization. Third, the doctrinal determinants of the security and military dimensions of Russia's geopolitics are analyzed.

On December 1, 2000 a new administration took over the presidency of MeÌ xico. This event was especially anticipated because the new president, Vicente Fox, was coming from a different party than the PRI, the old official party. The arrival of President Fox brought important changes in the way of governing; with the moral obligation to be different, since the beginning of his administration one of the main goals was incline to pursue a more dynamic participation by Mexico in the political issues of the world. This was to be accomplished by taking up several measures that included enhancing economic trade with the United States and other nations, world summits in Mexico, improvement of human rights and others. Among those plans one attracted special attention when Mexico asked for a seat as a non-permanent member in the UN Security Council for the period 2002-2003 the third time in Mexican history. There were divided opinions on the subject because Mexico would be directly involved in UN decisions concerning internal situations of other countries, something that goes against the foreign policy principles of MeÌ xico. Eventually this discussion opened doors for other topics; one of them was the possibility of Mexico participating actively in peacekeeping operations by sending troops overseas; this initiated a biter debate in the political sphere. This study analyzes Mexican Foreign Policy and the historical perspective of the foreign principles stated in the Mexican Constitution[alpha]s article 89, followed by a discussion of their influence and interpretation in the politicalmilitary environment before and during the administration of President Fox. The study includes the analysis includes the new social and political scenario that MeÌ xico is facing in order to determine the odds and obstacles when dealing with military participation overseas. As MeÌ xico takes its place in the community of nations, the country[alpha]s leadership needs to search for possible options and test whether the new Mexican political apparatus has the flexibility to address current threats and requirements for international security. An analysis on the capabilities of the Mexican Armed Forces is also necessary in order to determine their capacity to execute multinational operations. Finally bring out the real benefits and/or risks from getting Mexico involved in these kinds of operations are identified.

Dudreuil, Lucie. "Revendications sociolinguistiques et identitaires de la population caribéenne au Costa Rica". Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016BOR30012.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Tout au long du XIXe siècle, le Costa Rica a construit son identité nationale sur l’idée de « pureté et de blancheur de la race costaricienne ». C’est dans ce paradigme identitaire qu’une population afro-caribéenne provenant majoritairement de la Jamaïque est arrivée sur la côte caribéenne pour travailler à la construction du chemin de fer et dans les plantations bananières à partir des années 1870. Cette population « noire », qui ne parlait pas l’espagnol, mais l’anglais et un créole à base d’anglais, constituait « un obstacle » au projet d’identité nationale. L’année 2015 marque un tournant, car le Costa Rica vient de se redéfinir comme une « République […] multiethnique et pluriculturelle » par un amendement constitutionnel de l’article premier. Cette thèse retrace le processus complexe d’intégration de la population afro-caribéenne au Costa Rica de 1870 à 2015 et défend l’idée qu’une reconfiguration du paradigme de l’identité nationale costaricienne s’est amorcée depuis la zone la plus périphérique du Costa Rica (la province de Limon) et en grande partie par le biais des revendications sociolinguistiques et identitaires de la population caribéenne. En effet, la politique linguistique concernant l’espagnol et les langues indigènes centrées sur la relation du citoyen à la langue officielle est contrariée par la pratique fortement ancrée du créole de Limon dans la Caraïbe costaricienne. L’apport théorique des linguistes Robert Le Page et Andrée Tabouret-Keller qui ont mis en évidence comment les choix langagiers constituent des « actes d’identités » par lesquels les locuteurs exposent discursivement leur identité personnelle, leurs affiliations à certains groupes et leurs aspirations à certains rôles sociaux a retenu notre attention pour montrer que l’utilisation du créole de Limon avec ses concepts et ses symboles propres dans le contexte plurilinguistique et diglossique de la Caraïbe costaricienne révèle des positionnements identitaires favorisant une reconfiguration de l’identité nationale. En 2010, l’UNESCO a classé le créole de Limon dans son Atlas des langues du monde en danger. Existe-t-il une campagne de revitalisation au Costa Rica ? Dans une perspective intersémiotique de l’étude des reconfigurations identitaires, la littérature et les arts de la Caraïbe costaricienne ont été envisagés comme des espaces privilégiés de représentation des identités plurielles et plurilingues et d’expression des revendications sociolinguistiques et identitaires de la population caribéenneThroughout the 20th century, Costa Rica built its own national identity on the “purity and whiteness” of the Costa Rican race. This is the identity paradigm in which the Jamaican population found itself upon arriving on the Caribbean coast in 1870 in order to work on the construction of railways and the banana plantations. This black, non-Spanish-speaking community was a barrier to the Costa Rican national identity project. However, the year 2015, marked a turning point. In virtue of an amendment to the first article of the Constitution, Costa Rica redefined itself as a “multiethnic, multicultural Republic”. This thesis retraces the complex process of integration undergone by the Costa Rican Afro-Caribbean community from 1870 to 2015. This study claims that the existence of this recent reconfiguration of the Costa Rican identity paradigm was in part fostered by one of the country’s most peripheral areas: Limon. The works of linguists such as Robert Le Page and André Tabouret-Keller have proven that linguistic choices can be considered as “identity claims or acts” by means of which a given speaker demonstrates his identity, his background and his aspirations. The people from Limon, by means of their sociolinguistic and identity claims, have thus helped start the aforementioned process of reconfiguration. The well-established use of Creole English clashes with the government’s official policy regarding the use of the official language of Spanish and the indigenous languages. Even though Creole English is spoken in Limon, in 2010 UNESCO classified it in its Atlas of the World’s Endangered Languages. Is there thus a campaign of revitalization in Costa Rica concerning Creole English? In an attempt to analyze the changing identity paradigm from an intersemiotic perspective, this study has chosen to focus on Caribbean literature and art as they both represent powerful mediums through which the expression of the Caribbean identity is portrayed and claimed

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis deals with the representation of the body and space in the
theatre of Bernard-Marie Koltes and Helene Cixous. From the theoretical point of
view, it looks at transition in French theatre from a modern to a postmodern
predicament, from a discursive to a corporeal theatre. It then looks at the ways
postmodern culture maps, configures, disciplines, and violates the body,
particularly through the relationship of the new textuality to its stage
manifestations. Textually, it analizes three plays by each playwright. The
juxtaposition of the works of Koltes and Cixous allows for an in depth look at the
theatre of the 1970's and 80's in France, a period marked by theatrical
decentralisation and experimentation. Both favoured a strong tie to theatre
practice while developing a close relationship with a theatre director: Patrice
Chereau, in the case of Koltes, and Ariane Mnouchkine, in the case of Cixous.
Aside from looking at the relationship with theatre practitioners, this thesis
examines a number of aesthetic and political affinities which bring Koltes and
Cixous together, such as redefining a postmodern mythology and a political role
for theatre. Unlike many postmodernist theatre practices that try to evade political
commitment, both Cixous and Koltes are preoccupied with the resistance to a
nihilistic discourse, and propose an evolving and corporeal stage presence
inscribed in a pluralistic space of representation. For Koltes, the body on the stage
resists symbolic categorization in Combat de negre et de chiens (1979), it then
becomes related to spatial reality outside language in Quai ouest (1985), and
finally the corporeal body is culturally and ideologically mapped in Le Retour au
desert (1988). This triple dimension is also reflected in the work of Cixous, for
whom the theatre is a space of feminist praxis. First, the space of representation,
through the subversive performativity of the body, questions the premises of the
psychoanalytic gaze in Portrait de Dora (1976), then classical mythology is
rewritten to disrupt patriarcal discourse in Le Nom d'Oedipe: chant du corps
interdit (1978), and a post-colonial role for theatre is redefined in order to question
the historical subject in L'Indiade ou l'lnde de leurs reves (1987).
Finally, this thesis looks at the ways both Koltes and Cixous join in with
postmodernism in declaring the impossibility of grand-narrative, while trying to
show how identity cannot be based on essentialist categories of race, gender,
ethnicity, or sexual orientation, but on the performance of all these various
categories as they intersect in the performing body.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
At the turn of the twentieth century, Russian writer Zinaida Gippius postulated a radical repudiation of the notions of biologically determined gender and sexuality. An active participant in the Russian religious renaissance of the period, she combined this repudiation with a critique of Orthodox asceticism, formulating in the process a doctrine of ‘holy flesh’. After 1905, she transformed her philosophies into a utopian project for religious revolution, based on the twin principles of sexual freedom and gender equality. This thesis examines the ways in which Gippius used these ideas to resist patriarchal norms, problematising traditional narratives of Russian history, which confine such resistance to bourgeois and socialist feminism, both of which Gippius eschewed

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The aim of this research entitled Narrative Strategies in Selected Amharic Novels from 2000 until 2010 was to shed light on the relationship among form, meaning (content) and social milieuin establishing the textual and contextual features of fictional narratives. It mainly contends that it is possible to unravel the textual and contextual qualities of fictional narratives by studying form as a narrative strategy. In this research, form, when understood as a narrative strategy, is not only considered as a textual construct which motivates textual meaning but also regarded as a product of the social milieu from which the text emerges. Having this conception, form as a narrative strategy is investigated in selected Amharic novels published from 2000 until 2010 in view of expounding the artistic and thematic features of contemporary Amharic novels, endeavouring to fill the knowledge gap in Amharic literary scholarship about their literary features. The present research applies narratological approaches that range from classical to post-classical
narratology. However, it dominantly uses post-classical conceptions of narratology as guidelines for its discussion. The dissertation comprises six chapters. The first one is an introductory chapter in which the research problems, goals and assumptions are explicated. Chapter two deals with the theoretical framework where the theoretical insight the research utilizes as a guideline is outlined and methodological issues are specified. The following three chapters focus on the analysis. In the third chapter, story is investigated as a narrative strategy in Yeburqa Zemeta (Burka’s Silence) (2000); in the fourth one, focalization is treated as a narrative strategy in Gerač.a Qač.eloč (Grey
Bells) (2005), and in the fifth chapter, characterization is studied as a narrative strategy in
Dèrtogada (Dertogada) (2010). The dissertation concludes with a chapter in which independent findings in the three analysis chapters are summed up and generalizations on the textual and contextual features of the present day Amharic novels are made.Afrikaans & Theory of Literature

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Nosferatu (1922) has a complex history, and the musical accompaniment for the atmospheric silent vampire film is no different: it was originally scored for a live orchestra by Hans Erdmann but, like most copies of the film, the complete score was lost and, in fact, may have been performed in its entirety only once, at the film’s premiere. The film refused to staydead; restorations and reprints, authorized and bootleg, abound, and musical artists, perhaps inspired by its full title, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, continue to score the film regularly for both live screenings and home video release.This essay will consider some significant trends in scoring Nosferatu for home video and live screenings over the last 20-some years and the reasons for these scores beyond simply providing sound to fill silence: What are the general categories of scores and soundtracks, and where do they fit into the tradition of film scoring? Why are there so many scores and soundtracks? That is, what motivates each composer or arranger? Finally, what does each score bring to the film that was previously lacking? Taking musicologist Kendra Preston Leonard’s claims about the relationships between silent film scores, ‘the different philosophical approaches to scoring a film’, and ‘cultural factors of theperiod’ as a foundation, I will examine recent Nosferatu scores to consider ‘ways in which this music comment[s] on the values and tastes of the time’ (Leonard 2016: 275).

Reviewing the history of clinical educational curricula reveals enormous change and progress through successive antiquity up-to the current 21th century. Surely, there are stable fundamental criteria which are pillars in designing any curriculum; however there are torrential inevitable reforms which are important in filling the changeable gaps and fulfilling the ecological and temporal aspects. Over the last 20th century, numerous new paradigms for curricula reforms were constructed to adapt ebullient millennium needs, interactive pedagogical approaches and psychological/sociological learning theories. These reforms fostered clinical practice, integrating core competencies and reflection on designing, and achieving clinical curricula depending on outcome-based models such as clinical competences milestones. On the other hand, systematic approach of Kern′s framework adopts curriculum development through six consecutive interlinked and intersected steps which are refined to eight steps later. Moreover, taking contextual factors into account during curricula planning was evolved in other models such as PRISMS model. Despite all these pearly efforts, there are still caveats about inclusive gaps negligence between education process and overall health system. 3P-6Cs toolkit is deemed a recent novel paradigm that enrolls this role of health systems in clinical training during curricula design.

<em>Abstract</em>.—How paddlefish <em>Polyodon spathula </em>early-life history dynamics affect recruitment is relatively unknown. We quantified factors affecting age-0 paddlefish abundance, hatch time, growth, and survival in an unimpounded reach of the Mississippi River during 2000–2008. We trawled several habitats, collecting 2,074 age-0 paddlefish from 10 to 170 mm total length. Paddlefish hatch timing varied across years (30–60 d), generally commencing in the middle of April and ending in June when a threshold water temperature was reached and river stage variability increased. Correspondingly, an analysis of covariance revealed a strong interaction between year and habitat for catch per unit effort in the small (10–50 mm) (<em>P </em>= 0.025) and medium (51–100 mm) (<em>P </em>= 0.040) size-classes, indicating that habitat preferences were likely influenced by year. However, no relations between these variables in the large size-class (>100 mm) existed (<em>P </em>= 0.88). Age-0 paddlefish growth rates differed among years (i.e., 1.87–3.31 mm/d) and were positively related to water temperature (<em>r </em>= 0.64; <em>P </em>= 0.083). Mortality rates varied by year (range = –0.26 to –0.57) and were positively correlated with the number of days water temperature was below 28°C during April 15 through July 15 (<em>r </em>= 0.67, <em>P </em>= 0.070). Water temperature and river stage variability may regulate early-life dynamics of paddlefish. Early-life history dynamics are likely interrelated with habitat conditions present in the river. The highest catch rates of young paddlefish were on the main channel side and side channel of islands, suggesting that these habitats are important to paddlefish. Within these habitats, paddlefish frequently occupied moderate velocities (i.e., 0.4–0.6 m/s), moderate depths (i.e., 3–5 m), and sand substrate.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
<em>Abstract</em>.—Paddlefish <em>Polyodon spathula </em>are among the largest and longest lived of the freshwater fishes (e.g., more than 2.2 m long; 72 kg; 30 years old) and can be distinguished by the presence of a large mouth and a long, paddle-shaped snout. Smooth skin, small eyes, a large, tapering operculum flap, bluish- gray to black coloration dorsally, and a deeply forked heterocercal caudal fin all serve to distinguish paddlefish from other species. Paddlefish become sexually mature and spawn at a later age than many other freshwater fishes; males mature at an earlier age than females, but maturity varies by latitude. Male paddlefish typically spawn each year, but spawning periodicity may be variable for females. Paddlefish spawn over gravel or other hard surfaces and require specific photoperiod, water temperature, and water flow for successful spawning. Paddlefish are relatively fecund (9,000–26,000 eggs per kilogram of body weight); mature eggs range from about 2.0–4.0 mm in diameter, and time from egg fertilization to hatching is directly related to water temperature. Optimum temperature for hatching is about 18_C. Newly hatched larvae average about 8.5 mm total length (TL) and are passive drifters until they are about 17 mm long when the yolk sac has been absorbed and the larvae begin active feeding on zooplankton and insects. Paddlefish complete fin ray development at 145–160 mm TL; at this size, they are considered juveniles and are similar in appearance to adults. Few paddlefish reach the maximum known age; instead, the median age for most populations is 5–8 years and maximum age is 14–18 years. Paddlefish growth seems to be directly related to the length of the growing season and food abundance. Generally, paddlefish length increases rapidly for about the first 5 years. After 5 years, paddlefish weight increases rapidly and may double during this time. Paddlefish feed primarily on zooplankton but occasionally consume small insects, insect larvae, and small fish. Traditionally, paddlefish inhabited slow-moving waters of side channels and river-lakes. In regulated rivers, paddlefish congregate where current velocities are reduced. In large rivers, paddlefish tend to congregate in the deep waters, usually selecting areas with depths greater than 3 m and current velocities less than 0.5 m/s. Further, paddlefish are highly mobile and make extensive movements within a system. Most of this movement is random, but paddlefish also make extensive nonrandom movements in spring during upstream migration to spawning areas. Some aspects of paddlefish life history and biology make them highly vulnerable to human activities. High prices for paddlefish roe or flesh periodically have stimulated fishing pressure and overexploitation followed by rapid declines in some populations. Dredging, flow manipulation, and the construction of dams have altered much of the traditional paddlefish habitat. Increasing levels of recreational and commercial boat traffic may also contribute to the mortality of paddlefish. Understanding and considering paddlefish biology and ecology can contribute to scientifically sound stewardship of all paddlefish populations, whether management is for conserving healthy populations or restoring decimated stocks.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Gazing down on the field of historical geography from a lofty vantage point, the most obvious conclusion one can draw is that it is alive and well. Despite gloomy forecasts in the 1980s (Wyckoff and Hausladen 1985), the number of significant titles published in recent years and the consistency of historical geographic scholarship testifies to the vitality of this subdiscipline. Johns Hopkins, along with Texas, California, Chicago, and other university presses have released handsome and important contributions. Recently, the second and third volumes of the highly regarded Historical Atlas of Canada (Harris and Mathews 1987–93) have appeared; and Thomas McIlwraith and Edward Muller (2001) have revised the standard 1980s text on North American historical geography. The Journal of Historical Geography has a healthy backlog of manuscripts; The Geographical Review regularly features work from specialty group members; and Historical Geography has grown in size and substance. Although the number of academic job listings for historical geography may never challenge the opportunities in GIS, a sizable and energetic corps of practitioners is hard at work, whatever their individual job titles. The decade that has elapsed since Earle et al.’s (1989) review of the field (see also Conzen, Rumney, and Wynn 1993) has been particularly productive for historical geographers in terms of theory and approach. Studies framed by colonialism, capitalist development, postmodernism, feminism, and environmental history are all inherently interdisciplinary and add to the complex intellectual current in which historical geography finds itself. This diversity poses a particular problem for the authors of a chapter with panoramic intent. Like a bird’seye view of a nineteenth-century city, the most prominent structures, or themes, stand out in the foreground. Common dwellings, or the vast body of supporting literature, blend into a less distinct background pattern. Outstanding singular efforts rise like spires above the cluttered landscape. This chapter hopes to call attention to the scholarship found both along the main thoroughfares and the back streets in the bird’s-eye view, while also pointing out unique contributions. Anne Mosher’s (1999) outline of several major trends in historical geography scholarship provides the framework for this chapter.

Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.22455/978-5-9208-0676-5-267-284.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The article examines the “farm philosophy” of the Ukrainian writer and scientist P.A. Kulish (1819–1897) as a complex synthesis of Rousseau`s ideas, romantic aesthetics, populist ideology and Christian views. In a number of features, it is a kind of analogue of the Great Russian “estate culture” of the late 18th — early 20th centuries. “Farm philosophy” is ambiguously related to the life of the writer on his own farm Zarog in the Luben region on the territory of Malorossia in the 1850s. The reality of everyday life and relations with the serfs are, on the one hand, in contradiction with the provisions of his “farm philosophy”, on the other hand, they are the practical experience on which the writer developed these ideas. The ideas of the Kulish “farm philosophy” are not only a religious and philosophical substantiation of the positive sociocultural meaning of the farm in the history of the Ukrainian people, its language and literature, but also a kind of historiosophical program for the development of the Ukrainian nation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The story of General Patton at the Battle of the Bulge is an excellent example of a story with a message that can be applied to our climate crisis. Our climate crisis is the defining problem for human society in the 21st century. Although the current situation is chaotic, as in this story, several positive paths are now clear enough to allow useful plans for a worldwide effort. One alternative to fear is to build a vision of a viable future through stories. Stories have a long history of being a common tool for building unified societal efforts. The stories that society now needs require both a science-based background and believable characters in effective action on our climate crisis. The elements used to build stories, first the background and then the plot, are called beats. The background beats developed here include sea level rise, no-till farming, population peaking, and technology innovation for the period 2020 to 2100. These beats should enable fiction writers to place stories and characters in a world of action on our climate crisis.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The chapter presents an overview of Danish working-class literary history. The initial sections outline the established narrative of the tradition from the late 19th century to the early 1980s, whereas the closing parts poses the question: Does a contemporary Danish working-class literature exist? The backdrop of this question is the decline of scholarly interest in working-class literature since the 1980’s which has left the tradition’s trajectory over the last four decades generally unexplored. The chapter argues that contemporary Danish literature contains a multifaceted list of works for a 21st century working-class literature. However, even the limited number of recent studies addressing the possible connection between this body of works and the tradition present no univocal assessment of the current state of Danish working-class literature. The varied interpretations, the chapter argues, are a result of an inherent challenge in the research field: that of defining working-class literature. Thus, the exploration of the history of Danish working-class literature – focusing on the construction of the tradition – exposes it as a contested field and highlights the different conceptualizations of the term.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Leaders in the 21st Century face a complexity of issues greater than ever before. With ever increasing globalization and change, leaders must navigate the complexity of todays' issues and have the ability to strategically provide purpose and direction for the future. As organizations struggle to meet these challenges in the future, they must have processes in place that develop the leaders needed for their organization. This chapter will look at leader development as a lifelong learning process using the United States Army as the organization model. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of the leader development process used by the U. S. Army, how they raise strategic leaders, and relate those practices to organizations external to a military organization. It is a call to action for organizations to look inward to ‘build their bench strength', and begin the process of leader development by creating a leader development strategy, understanding leader requirements specific for their organization and developing a leader development program that will prepare leaders for the challenges of the future.

Two primary topics are addressed in this paper: 1. A brief record of the evolution of U. S. Navy (USN) gas turbine qualification and testing requirements that helped produce the successful engines now in service and 2. Examination of these requirements in light of current and projected defense budgets resulting from changes in the world over the past twenty-five years. The paper proposes changes in the current methods the USN employs in qualifying its gas turbines for surface ship applications. The proposed alternate methods consider commercial testing and service experience as well as testing based on MIL-E-17341 requirements. Finally, the marine gas turbine community is invited to begin a dialogue on the feasibility of these alternate methods.

Urokinase was discovered in the late nineteenth century, as an enzymatic principle in urine, that initiates the dissolution of blood clots. The basis of this phenomenon was recognized more than fifty years ago as the activation of plasminogen, the precursor of a tryptic protease, then known as profibrinolysin. Despite this long history, detailed data on the biochemistry of plasminogen activation have only become available recently. Urokinase (now designated urokinase-type plasminogen activator : u-PA) is synthesized and secreted as a single chain polypeptide (Mr-: 53,000) by many cell types. Single chain u-PA (scu-PA) is with equal justification called prourokinase (pro-u-PA), notwithstanding its low catalytic activity for synthetic peptide substrates and plasminogen, as most proenzymes of proteases display a certain degree of activity. The structure of pro-u-PA has been elucidated by protein and cDNA sequencing. It consists of three domains, exhibiting characteristic homology to other proteins: a serine protease domain, homologous to trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase; a kringle domain, likewise found in prothrombin, plasminogen, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and Factor XII; and an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, found in many other proteins, including certain clotting factors. Pro-u-PA is activated by the cleavage of its LYS158-Ile159 h1 bY either plasmin or kallikrein. This cleavage leads to a high increase of Kcat values with respect to both plasminogen and synthetic peptide substrates, but apparently to a reduction of its affinity to plasminogen. Thrartoin inactivates pro-u-PA irreversibly by the cleavage of the Arg156-Phe157 bond. U-PA but not pro-u-PA rapidly forms ccnplexes with plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAI)-l and PAI-2: second order rate constants Kass are respectively > 107 and 0.9xl06 (M-11sec-1). Unknown enzymes process pro-u-PA and u-PA to low molecular weight (LMW) pro-u-PA and LMW u-PA (Mr: 33,000) by cutting off a fragment consisting of the kr ingle and the EGF—like region. Pro—u—PA mediated plasminogen activation is fibrin dependent in vivo, and to a certain degree in vitro. Hie biochemical basis of this fibrin specificity is at present uncertain, although there are reports indicating that it may require polyvalent cations. Through its EGF-like region HMW pro-u-PA and HMW u-PA are capable of binding to specific membrane protein receptors which are found on many cells. Thus, u-PA activity may be restricted to the cell surface. According to a recent report, binding of u—PA to the receptor may also mediate signal transduction in auto- or paracrine growth control. In cells permissive for the respective pathways, pro-u-PA gene transcription is stimulated by mechanisms of signal transduction, that include the cAMP, the tyrosine specific kinase and the protein kinase C dependent pathways. Glucocorticoid hormones downregulate pro-u-PA gene transcription in cells where the gene is canstitutively expressed. Although different cells vary greatly in their response to agents that stimulate urokinase biosynthesis, growth factors and other mitogens are in many cases effective inducers. Significantly elevated levels of u-PA are also found in many malignant tissues. These findings and many others suggest that plasminogen activation by u-PA provides localized extracellular matrix degradation which is required for invasive growth, cell migration and other forms of tissue remodelling. Fibrin represents in this view only a variant of an extracellular matrix, which is provided through the clotting system in the case of an emergency.

While the opportunities offered by technology to people were very limited in the period before 2000, information technology, which is used as a universal means of progress today, has become an indispensable element of the globalizing world by making it easier to access scientific information. With the increasing level of digitalization, there has been a rapid transformation in technology and it has become extremely difficult to keep up with this transformation. In the 21st century, which is accepted as the digital age, the developments in technology have made human life easier on the one hand, and on the other hand have caused the society to become dependent on technology. In the century we have been living in, international economic organizations have rapidly adapted to the developments in technology and the transformation process and have effectively used the advantages provided by technology to themselves. It is seen that international organizations, especially after the Second World War, have taken on extremely important tasks in terms of shaping international markets. Especially in meeting the funding needs of the international market, international economic organizations play an important role. Along with globalization, some international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been significantly affected by recent rapid technological developments. In this context, thanks to the developments in technology, international financial institutions have had the opportunity to transfer the financial resources under their control to the countries or unions in need easily and quickly. Due to this importance, developments in technology are closely monitored by international economic organizations. With this study, it is aimed to examine the development of international economic organizations in the digitalization process and to evaluate the impact of digitalization on the success of international economic organizations by clarifying both positive and negative aspects by data analysis method

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper uncovers an alternative postwar architectural project on the city—British town centres of the 1960’s, and an accompanying overlooked architectural discourse. A new examination of this lost typology works to recuperate the town centre, including its specific history and projects, into a broader architectural discourse related to the city. In the late 1940’s, English towns and cities were dotted with urban voids created by an assortment of causes: from planned urban razing, post-war economic hardship, and most notably a result of World War II bombing raids. These voids had once been a rich fabric of diverse urban programs includ¬ing an assortment of storefront shopping, offices spaces, schools, restaurants, cafes, and housing. Town centre proj¬ects in the 1960’s provided a new architectural typology that was packed with these programs, perfect for refilling these devastated voids. They were built within a perfect storm of conditions: a shift in land-use policy away from early postwar rebuilding efforts focused on schools and housing and towards commercial development; the availability of newly acquired disposable incomes in a domestic postwar economy; and an economic boom that involved relationships between developers and architects, both eager to invest in speculative projects that experimented with new methods for rebuilding these city centres. Town centres were characterized by their scale—larger than a single building but smaller than a city—making them distinctly different than masterplans, megastructures, and urban plans. In terms of form and program, town centres could be described as miniature cities, comprised of a mix¬ture of uses housed in aggregated yet unified forms. Given their programmatic characteristics and their scale, town centres were distinctly contextual and were always inserted into these existing city voids. The goal of these projects was to supplement, never supplant, existing economic, cultural, and morphological urban systems, while many times fitting nicely within single urban blocks. This paper will feature case studies by the most prolific town centre builder of England from the 1960’s, Owen Luder, will explore how he subverted mainstream discourse on the city from this time period, and in turn, provide new design methodologies for the 21st century city. It will also relate him to a legacy of town centre projects in England, and insert this typology within 20th century architectural dis¬course on the city.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Contemporary Russian socio-cultural, cultural and philosophical, socio psychological, artistic and aesthetic practices actualize the Russian tradition of rejection, criticism, undisguised hatred and fear of power. Today, however, power has ceased to be a subject of one-dimensional denial or condemnation, becoming the subject of an interdisciplinary scientific discourse that integrates cultural studies, philosophy, social psychology, semiotics, art criticism and history (history of culture). The article provides theoretical substantiation and empirical support for the two facets of notions of power. The first facet is the unique, not only political, but also mental determinant of the problem of power in Russia, a kind of reflection of modus vivendi. The second facet is the artistic and image-based determinant of problem of power in Russia designated as artis imago. Theoretical grounds for solving these problems are found in F. Nietzsche’s perceptions of the binary “potentate-mass” opposition, G. Le Bon’s of the “leader”, K.-G. Jung’s of mechanisms of human motivation for power. The paper dwells on the “semiosis of power” in the focus of thoughts by A. F. Losev, P. A. Sorokin, R. Barthes. Based on S. Freud’s views of the unconscious and G. V. Plekhanov’s and J. Maritain’s views of the totalitarian power, we substantiate the concept of “the imperial unconscious”. The paper focuses on the importance of the freedom motif in art (D. Diderot and V. G. Belinsky as theorists, S. Y. Yursky as an art practitioner). Power as a subject of influence and object of analysis by Russian creators is studied on the material of perceptions and creative experience of A. S. Pushkin (in the context of works devoted to Russian “impostors” by numerous authors). Special attention is paid to the early twenty-first century television series on Soviet rulers (Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Furtseva). The conclusion is made on the relevance of Pushkin’s remark about “living power” “hated by the rabble” for contemporary Russia.

Architectural education, in the past had a grounding in a strict apprentice or pupillage method of training architects. The apprentice was someone who worked or trained under a master that transferred skill through a “hands on” approach. Architecture was regarded as one of the arts and there was no formal training to qualify one as an architect. It was through the acclaimed Vitruvius that the architectural profession was born. Vitruvius had published “Ten Books on Architecture” that led to an attempt to summarize professional knowledge of architecture and in doing so became the first recognizable architect. The architectural profession spread throughout Europe in the mid-16th century and the builder and architect became two distinct characters. Although architecture had become a profession, it wasn’t up until the late 17th century that architecture became an academic pursuit through an institutionalized educational system known as École des Beaux Arts, however the pursuit of a strict academic scholar was not the focus. At the beginning of the 1800’s, The University of Berlin in Germany forged the fundamental research and scholarly pursuit. Architecture, like the professions of medicine, law etc. became a system of academic pursuit where professors concentrated deeply on academics first and professional work second. It is through the lens of history we can decipher how architecture became an academic discipline almost de-voiding it of its vocational nature. In its current standing, various universities place a high emphasis on research output from their academic staff. Presently, architecture schools in South Africa recruit lecturers on their academic profiles, rather than their vocational experience. The approach of which has devalued the input of industry into education. It has been noted that there has been an increase in an academic pursuit rather than a professional one for the lecturers that teach architecture. This research explores the views of academics on architectural education, teaching methods and the importance of practice at South African universities. The authors of this research provide an auto-ethnographic insight into their invaluable experience of being academics at two large Universities in South Africa and concurrently run successful practices. The research makes use of a mixed method approach of secondary data from literature and semi-structured interviews posed to academics. Initial findings reveal that academics are pushing the industry to play a part in the education of architects; however, the extent must be determined. If industry plays a role in the education of architects, what factors are considered and how does this inter-twine with the academic nature of training? What strategies are academics employing to make sure students are vocationally well trained and academically capable? Another important question to ask is what qualities make an academic architect in the 21st century?

Abstract From the Acheulean stone tools in prehistory first made by the homo ergaster around 250.000 BCE (V. Smil, 2017) to the wooden plows in Mesopotamia enabling first steps to enabling machine-assisted agriculture around 4.000 BCE (V. Smil, 2017) and then the scaling of waterwheels in Greece and Rome civilizations from 100 BCE to 600 CE (V. Smil, 2017) along with following developments of windmills and blast furnaces that preceded the revolutions of steam, mechanical, combustion and electrical machines in recent history, there is one common aspect that has remained true across all civilizations: how humans interact with machines for greater efficiency, effectiveness and ultimately better quality of life. The arrival of information technology in the 20th century transformed that interaction in many ways, starting with a dream of a small shop in Redmond, WA, which vision at its foundation in 1974 was to have a personal computer in every single household of the world and later a company from California bringing mobile phones into everyone's hands, to name a few examples out of many. This citizen-based change quickly expanded to industrial operations and machines that used to be "dumb" for ages suddenly start speaking and telling humans how they feel through basic arrangements of measurement sensors, data historians and visualization technologies. At the moment of development of this paper we are at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century and looking back and reflecting on what has been the most significant development during this period affecting human-machine interaction, it is the author's belief that it is in the field of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the theory and development of computer systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages (H.A. Simon, 1996). The goal of AI is to create machines that can perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. (S. Russell et al., 2016) The power of cognitive and machine learning services, together with rapid advancements in robotics and autonomous systems, will significantly change the way humans interact with machines and subsequently drive impact inflection points on productivity and efficiency. Within the artificial intelligence realm, probably one of the most exciting technological developments of today lies around generative AI, which could be briefly defined as a form of artificial intelligence in which models are trained to generate new original content based on natural language input (learn.microsoft.com). This paper focuses on how artificial intelligence in general and particularly generative AI could transform the human-machine interaction in the oil and gas industry, covering specific examples in the fields of artificial lift and power generation.
