scholarly journals The Concept of “Besporyadok” (“Disorder”) in Dostoevsky’s Novel The Adolescent

The article is dedicated to the reconstruction of the concept of “besporyadok” (“disorder”) in the novel The Adolescent, considering the distinction between the intentions of the actual author and the hero-creator. The complex structure of the author’s concept is reconstructed using Dostoevsky’s workbooks for February 1874 – November 1875, and the key element of it is stated to be the “internal disorder” that occurs when a person’s soul is poisoned with devilry. It is argued that this type of besporyadok (“disorder”), correlated by Dostoevsky with the phenomenon of bezobrazie (“ugliness”), serves as a source and catalyst for “family disorder”, “secular disorder”, and “general disorder”. The adolescent, illustrating all the listed facets of the author’s concept, naturally focuses on comprehending the “internal disorder”, which at the end of his “Notes” acquires the concept-name of “bezobrazie”. The gradual “deployment” of this concept by Arkady Dolgoruky sets the dynamics of the narrative, reflects the ongoing process of samovidelka (“self-creation”), based on the movement of the hero from the feeling of bezobrazie (“ugliness”) to the beginning of his consciousness. It is argued that Dostoevsky’s perception of besporyadok (“disorder”) and besovstvo (“devilry”) as related phenomena provoking general decomposition, an increase of the chaos in the macro and microcosm, and thirst for self-destruction, does not predetermine a constantly negative modality in their artistic embodiment. In the light of the “realism in the highest sense”, the manifestations of besporyadok (“disorder”) are often seen by Dostoevsky as an impulse for renewal, purification, and transformation. Arkady Dolgoruky, due to his age and spiritual weakness, is deprived of the opportunity to perceive bezobrazie (ugliness) in such an expanded focus, therefore in his conceptosphere this unit is not ambivalent in itself, but is a negative element opposed to blagoobrazie (goodness).

This article proposes to study the pre-textual germinal documents and those that allow us to identify the most representative work settings of the production process of the novel Boquitas pintadasby the Argentinian writer Manuel Puig. These materials explain unfinished decisions for formalizing and sharping a reasoned plan of production, as opposed to an improvised writing. They also allow identifying certain habits in the literary production mode initiated in this plan and sustained in the rest of the author's narrative production. The article also proposes focusing on two central aspects which Puig attends from the beginning of his planning: the articulation between the plot and the complex structure of the novel.

TNXB-related classical-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (TNXB-clEDS) is an ultrarare type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome due to biallelic null variants in TNXB, encoding tenascin-X. Less than 30 individuals have been reported to date, mostly of Dutch origin and showing a phenotype resembling classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome without atrophic scarring. TNXB-clEDS is likely underdiagnosed due to the complex structure of the TNXB locus, a fact that complicates diagnostic molecular testing. Here, we report two unrelated Italian women with TNXB-clEDS due to compound heterozygosity for null alleles in TNXB. Both presented soft and hyperextensible skin, generalized joint hypermobility and related musculoskeletal complications, and chronic constipation. In addition, individual 1 showed progressive finger contractures and shortened metatarsals, while individual 2 manifested recurrent subconjunctival hemorrhages and an event of spontaneous rupture of the brachial vein. Molecular testing found the two previously unreported c.8278C > T p.(Gln2760*) and the c.(2358 + 1_2359 − 1)_(2779 + 1_2780 − 1)del variants in Individual 1, and the novel c.1150dupG p.(Glu384Glyfs*57) and the recurrent c.11435_11524+30del variants in Individual 2. mRNA analysis confirmed that the c.(2358 + 1_2359 − 1)_(2779 + 1_2780 − 1)del variant causes a frameshift leading to a predicted truncated protein [p.(Thr787Glyfs*40)]. This study refines the phenotype recently delineated in association with biallelic null alleles in TNXB, and adds three novel variants to its mutational repertoire. Unusual digital anomalies seem confirmed as possibly peculiar of TNXB-clEDS, while vascular fragility could be more than a chance association also in this Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type.

Metal complexes containing diimine ligands such as 1,10-phenanthroline and bipyridine are very important and widely used in analytical chemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry, ring-opening metathesis polymerization and biochemistry. 1,10-phenanthroline, which is the parent for important class chelating agents, has been widely used in the construction of supramolecular architectures. Lots of phenanthroline and its derivatives complex have been synthesized and reported. In the paper, a novel Mn and 3,4,6,7-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline complex [Mn(C16H16N2)2] •Cl2 has been synthesized from a solution reaction and the crystal structure has been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Mn(C16H16N2)2] •Cl2, Orthorhombic, Pnna. a = 8.8376(8)Å b = 18.3630(17)Å c = 18.0159(18)Å α=β=γ=90°. V= 2923.7(5)Å3. Z=4. Rgt(F) = 0.0341, wRref(F2) = 0.0958. T= 273(2) K.

AbstractTemporal graphs are structures which model relational data between entities that change over time. Due to the complex structure of data, mining statistically significant temporal subgraphs, also known as temporal motifs, is a challenging task. In this work, we present an efficient technique for extracting temporal motifs in temporal networks. Our method is based on the novel notion of egocentric temporal neighborhoods, namely multi-layer structures centered on an ego node. Each temporal layer of the structure consists of the first-order neighborhood of the ego node, and corresponding nodes in sequential layers are connected by an edge. The strength of this approach lies in the possibility of encoding these structures into a unique bit vector, thus bypassing the problem of graph isomorphism in searching for temporal motifs. This allows our algorithm to mine substantially larger motifs with respect to alternative approaches. Furthermore, by bringing the focus on the temporal dynamics of the interactions of a specific node, our model allows to mine temporal motifs which are visibly interpretable. Experiments on a number of complex networks of social interactions confirm the advantage of the proposed approach over alternative non-egocentric solutions. The egocentric procedure is indeed more efficient in revealing similarities and discrepancies among different social environments, independently of the different technologies used to collect data, which instead affect standard non-egocentric measures.

(Parsons) defines the social system, of several definitions, and perhaps the clearest one is the one in which he believes that the social system is composed of two or more actors (individuals), each of whom occupies a distinct social position or and plays a distinct role, as it is an organized pattern that governs relations between individuals Or a network of interactive relationships that organizes their rights and duties towards each other, as it is a framework of common standards or values, as well as it includes different types of symbols and different cultural issues. While the novel is a very complex structure, and it is difficult to imagine that it was born with an individual invention and without a basis in the social life of the group, it is not possible to imagine that this complex form has no similarity or dialectical relationship between it and the social life of the heroes, this literary form depicts the daily relationship of people. And their different relationships with the society in which they live, the novel as seen by (René Girard) is what reveals the truth about man and reveals the inauthenticity of the human being. And if we know that some see that the literary creator is no less important than the social world, but that he surpasses him in many stages due to his delicate sensitivity and his ability to capture the parts of social life, the anatomy of individuals’ psyche, and to track the stages of social change and their implications for values and behavior And the directives, to what extent was the social system in Iraq able to maintain its social patterns, and what led to the collapse of that coherent system of social systems? And how was the Iraqi novel able to reverse this collapse in all its details? All this we will review in this research, which will be taken from novels published after 2003, material for it, and these narrations are: 1. The novel: Death in the Cherry Field.by the novelist Azhar Gerges. 2. The novel: The Killers, by the novelist Dia al-Khalidi. 3. The novel: the name on the soles, of the novelist Dia Jebili

The article discusses the response of I.S. Turgenev to the novel by G. Eliot “The Mill on the Floss” in the context of Turgenev’s novel aesthetics. An attempt is made to systematize the writer’s views on the novel genre: giving preference to the social, Dickensian-Georgesandian type of the novel, the writer does not consider it of the same kind and singles out both the indisputable genre peaks (G. Flaubert, L.N. Tolstoy, G. de Maupassant) and indisputable failures (O. de Balzac, E. Zola). From this point of view, Turgenev’s perception of G. Eliot’s novel poetics is analyzed. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the novel under consideration is the closest one for Turgenev structurally and ideologically. “The Mill on the Floss” appears to be the writer’s least typical novel, with a tragic denouement, predetermined by the love conflict, and the force of nature, and with a heroine who is very different from her environment and therefore doomed under existing circumstances. The fate of Maggie and the structure of her image are consonant with Turgenev’s search for the hero, but later the artistic searches of both writers diverge: G. Eliot becomes interested in a more complex structure, in which there is room for the evolution of the hero, his (or her) overcoming the framework set by his upbringing or environment, and the ability to move on. Here lies the fundamental difference between her poetics and the poetics of Turgenev.

Two new nitrato complexes of zinc and nickel with 1,4,8,11-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc), have been synthesized and characterized. The IR spectral peaks showed that the coordinated and ionic nitrate ions are in agreement with the formula proposed by elemental analysis. Conductometric titrations predicted methanol to be a convenient solvent for synthesis and revealed the stoichiometry of the complexes, while molar electrical conductivities indicated a 1 : 3 complex electrolyte type for the zinc complex, and a 1 : 2 complex electrolyte type for the nickel complex. The optimized complex structure was obtained by molecular modeling and density functional theory calculations. The biological activity of the novel complexes was examined by screening eight different bacterial strains and two cancer cell lines. The zinc complex showed better antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains, while the complexes did not show significance antiproliferative activity toward cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.
