The article analyzes three pieces of Russian, Ukrainian and Polish contemporary literature on the subject of “the death in Venice”. The authors of the works, by referring to the literary tradition, consciously strengthen the myth of the "the city of death". In their interpretations this myth has two dimensions: the general and the individual. In the general dimension the vision of a dying beauty and fading power encourages reflection on the transitory nature of civilization. The individual dimension is based on the sense of identification of a dying character with a "dying" city, i.e. Venice.

In historical aspect, the skill is among the key categories in the realm of human practice, which are often an object of different researches – psychological, pedagogical, and last but not least methodological. This is a fact, because the skill is a vital term for the description of productivity of learning experience at least in two dimensions – personally fundamental, guaranteeing its effective functioning in different situations and personally pragmatic, as a multi-level transformation of the cognitive experience, for the completion of certain social roles and the necessary qualities of the subject for this. The skill is a blend between those two dimensions of productivity both in higher education and in secondary school. The reflective skills are a structural and functional part of the transformation of the cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor experience and as such are included in the individual educational reality of the subject, and to a higher degree it defines it. This is the reason why the constructive-prognostic analysis of the reflective skill in the area of Methodology is pointing at the answer of the questions: What is this, what is its structure, how does it get integrated in the system of skills, how does it form and develop. The answers of those questions are basis of its methodological decoding in the process of training teachers and students in Biology. All of this describes the territory of the methodological context of analysing the reflective skill.

There are those of us whose job seems always to be immediate problem-solving. We are like people frantically busy piling up rocks with the fleeting notion that perhaps they are building something. To Empower People: The Role of Mediating Structures in Public Policy by Peter Berger and Richard Neuhaus (American Enterprise Institute, 1977) offers a portrait in which resemblances can be seen between the haphazard rock pile and the city of good “mediating structures” there portrayed.Approaching the subject as a lawyer, the question at once comes to mind: Do we need mediating structures (family, church, voluntary association, neighborhood, racial and ethnic subgroups) in a society governed by the American Constitution? If the “mediating structures“ are thought to be necessary to protect the individual from the state, is that not precisely the function of the Constitution?

Occidental societies, according to certain visions of a postmodern future as reflected in literature and arts, are heading towards a dystopian decadent world order. It is inside this perspective that I place the following essay with the aim to analyse the representation of Postmodernism and Postmodernity in Bernard Cohen’s experimental work, Snowdome. This novel can be conceived as a complex portrayal of contemporary existence and life in the city. By means of three different narrations and two stories separated by the unstable boundary of time, Cohen depicts contemporary Sidney from a nightmarish present of noise that leads to the complete isolation of the subject in a near future. The novel emphasises the multiplicity of information in contemporary society and the way in which that information becomes a constant noise flooding the city. The individual is unable to grasp a bit of that “pure reality” outside the simulacrum offered by the media and by the terrifying museum. Sidney and Australia become, in Cohen’s work, a prolongation of contemporary North-American invasive culture, based on the power of the TV screen and the falsehood of simulacrum, whereas individuals are plunged into a new time-space dimension which is placed somewhere in a postmodern time.

The text concerns the subject of the disease in Ukrainian literature based on the novel by Maria Matios Sweet Darusia. The novel was published in 2003, has received many awards and is one of the most famous Ukrainian novels of the last decades. Many Ukrainian literary scholars have written about this novel, including Sofi a Filonenko, Jaroslaw Holoborodko, Nila Zborowska and Tamara Hundorowa. Maria Matios analyzes in Sweet Darusia an illness as a metaphor for social and cultural phenomena. In the fi rst part of my paper, I analyse the metaphor of a disease and dysfunction in Ukrainian literature. The second part of the text is about a disease as a consequence of the traumatic experience of the heroine, in which Maria Matios illustrates the problems of memory of the Ukrainian nation. Diseases, dysfunctions, and pathological states are quite popular motifs in the Ukrainian prose of the independence period. They appear, among others, in the texts of Yuri Andrukhovych, Stepan Procuik, Oksana Zabuzko, Yuri Gudz, and Yuri Izdryk. All mentioned authors combine a state of disease with the mental, political and economic condition of post-Soviet society. In Ukrainian prose, the disease is a posttraumatic symptom, manifested in both the individual plan – in the hero’s body and psyche – and also with a broader, over-individual dimension, allowing to diagnose the condition of post-totalitarian space residents. In the novel Sweet Darusia, physical suff ering and illness of the main character is an image of a historical trauma experienced by totalitarian society. The illness in this novel is the starting point for self-refl ection and the stimulus to construct new identifi cation, basing on what is individual, human, intimate but often painful and difficult to accept.

The article concerns the issue of common good in the activity of public administration. It is exactly the aspects of this “good” which have a direct influence on the motives behind administrative actions. It turns out that what is “common” can be understood as pertaining to entire society, but also in relation to individual interests. The public administration, although traditionally connected only to the public interest, also implements the good of the individual and this not only indirectly, as it has been noted in the literature of the subject so far, but also independently. Because the common good has its different aspects in the sense that it does not have to mean only values of a strictly general dimension. This may be significant for the definitional purpose to the very administration itself and testifies, at the same time, to the multidimensional nature of contemporary public administration. The considerations are developed with reference to potential relations of public interest and the individual one, in which the most important place is occupied by conflict of these interests.

Введение. Рассматривается образ Петербурга в лирике Ивана Елагина, одного из заметных представителей второй волны эмиграции. Цель – проследить развитие образа в его эволюции, зафиксировать «общие места» петербургской поэтики, вместе с тем отметить и личный вклад автора в разработку темы в условиях эмиграции. Материал и методы. Методология исследования предполагает интерпретацию поэтических текстов с опорой на теоретико-литературоведческие понятия (акмеизм, литературная традиция, поэзия диаспоры и метрополии и пр.). Автор статьи также придерживался сравнительно-исторического метода при анализе текстов, сопоставляя стихотворения, имеющие приметы одного поэтического течения, но «разнесенных» во времени. Результаты и обсуждение. Образ Петербурга в литературе русского зарубежья не раз становился предметом научных изысканий, но лирика Ивана Елагина еще не привлекала пристального внимания литературоведов в плане трактовки темы Петербурга с акмеистических позиций. Был рассмотрен ряд стихотворений поэта как яркий пример следования заветам акмеизма в условиях эмиграции, хотя в лирике Елагина не менее важен и авангардный элемент. Но в образе города на Неве поэт сознательно ориентируется на поэтику акмеизма, о чем говорят многочисленные аллюзии и тематические переклички со старшими акмеистами – Н. Гумилевым, А. Ахматовой, О. Мандельштамом. Заключение. Лирическое воплощение образа Петербурга у Ивана Елагина продиктовано его акмеистической ориентацией и желанием вписать свое имя в ряд собственных поэтических учителей-акмеистов. Петербург Елагина актуализирует общие для «петербургского текста» установки, но, кроме того, демонстрирует эмигрантскую специфику в трактовке образа Северной Пальмиры. Доминирующей чертой образа становится его мортальность, устремленность в «потустороннее», отражение в нем экзистенциальной тоски и ностальгии – извечных «спутников» поэта-изгнанника.Introduction. The article considers the image of St. Petersburg in the lyrics of Ivan Elagin, one of the prominent representatives of the second wave of emigration. The objectives of the study are: to trace the development of the image in its evolution, to fix the “common places” of St. Petersburg poetics, at the same time to note the author’s personal contribution to the development of the theme in conditions of emigration. Material and methods. The research methodology involves the interpretation of poetic texts based on theoretical and literary concepts (acmeism, literary tradition, poetry of the diaspora and the metropolis, etc.). Results and discussion. The image of St. Petersburg in the literature of the Russian abroad has repeatedly become the subject of scientific research, but the lyrics of Ivan Elagin have not yet attracted the close attention of literary scholars in interpreting the theme of St. Petersburg from acmeistic positions. We considered a number of his poems as a vivid example of following the precepts of acmeism in conditions of emigration, although the avant-garde element is no less important in the lyrics of Elagin. But in the image of the city on the Neva, the poet deliberately focuses on the poetics of acmeism, as evidenced by numerous allusions and thematic exchanges with senior acmeists – N. Gumilev, A. Akhmatova, O. Mandelstam. Conclusion. The lyrical embodiment of the image of St. Petersburg by Ivan Elagin is dictated by his acmeistic orientation and the desire to write his name in a line of his own poetic acmeist teachers. St. Petersburg of Ivan Elagin actualizes the general settings for the “St. Petersburg text”, but, in addition, demonstrates the emigrant specificity in interpreting the image of Northern Palmyra. The dominant feature of the image is its mortality, striving for “beyond”, the reflection in it of existential longing and nostalgia – the eternal “companions” of the exiled poet.

ABSTRACT Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy is an autosomal dominant inherited sensorimotor and autonomic polyneuropathy, which if untreated, leads to death in approximately 10 years. In Brazil, liver transplant and tafamidis are the only disease-modifying treatments available. This review consists of a consensus for the diagnosis, management and treatment for transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy from the Peripheral Neuropathy Scientific Department of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology. The first and last authors produced a draft summarizing the main views on the subject and emailed the text to 10 other specialists. Relevant literature on this subject was reviewed by each participant and used for the individual review of the whole text. Each participant was expected to review the text and send a feedback review by e-mail. Thereafter, the 12 panelists got together at the city of Fortaleza, discussed the controversial points, and reached a consensus for the final text.

Two experiments concerned with simultaneously abstracting information about different dimensions from the same display were carried out. In experiment 1 the subject was briefly shown a complex display containing coloured forms with three values of each dimension. Instead of identifying the individual items in the display (such as red triangle, blue square, etc), the subject was to abstract and report in any order the different dimensional values (e.g. red and blue for colour, and triangle and square for form). The results showed that the accuracy of performance was independent of the way in which two dimensions were combined, whether they were orthogonal, partially correlated, or completely correlated. The results showed that colour and form were processed independently and that the perception of one was not facilitated or interfered with by the presence of the other in the same display. In experiment 2 various numbers of values from each dimension were combined orthogonally within each display. The subject's task was the same as in the previous experiment except that the order of report of the two dimensions was specified for each subject. Suppose the dimension reported first is X, and that reported second is Y. The results showed that the number of X values not only detrimentally affected the accuracy of reporting the X values, it also reduced the accuracy of reporting Y owing to memory impairment. The number of Y values, on the other hand, affected only the report of Y values. The results were discussed in terms of a parallel-processing system which proposes no capacity limitation.

Abstract. The importance of various trait dimensions explaining positive global self-esteem has been the subject of numerous studies. While some have provided support for the importance of agency, others have highlighted the importance of communion. This discrepancy can be explained, if one takes into account that people define and value their self both in individual and in collective terms. Two studies ( N = 367 and N = 263) examined the extent to which competence (an aspect of agency), morality, and sociability (the aspects of communion) promote high self-esteem at the individual and the collective level. In both studies, competence was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the individual level, whereas morality was the strongest predictor of self-esteem at the collective level.
