The late period of Ivan Franko's artistic work is characterized by the presence of a number of stories that contain a naturalistic reproduction of Jewish themes. In such stories as «Pure Race», «In the Prison Hospital», «In the Carpentry», «In the Forge (From My Memories)» there are memories of the author about different stages of his life, which clearly distinguishes the Jewish theme revealed by naturalistic means.The story «Pure Race» demonstrates the collision in the life of an old Jew who found himself in a compartment of a train with representatives of other nationalities. The description of events in the compartment is presented with elements of naturalism – the use of factualism and a detailed description of events, the objectivity of the image. The story «In the prison hospital» has the following naturalistic features: the story tells about the stay in the hospital of two or three seriously ill people with a detailed description of the circumstances of their lives with factual accuracy. The story «In the Carpentry» contains a fragment from the life of a Jew, written by the author from his youthful memories and under the influence of a certain historical moment. The story describes the terrible murder of calves by a Jewish boy, with the fixation of all the details that convey all the burden of what was seen in the soul of the hero. The story «In the Forge (From my memories)» contains the author's childhood memories from his stay in the father's forge with the recording of all the small moments of his impressions. In the memoirs there is a naturalistic description with a detailed account of events in life of Boryslav.In the above stories, with the help of naturalistic means, the problems of Jewish life in Galicia are reproduced. Among the naturalistic features of the depiction of Jewish figures there are: factography, detailed description with fixation of all the details as a consequence of scientific accuracy, plausibility, objectivity of reproduction and unity in the depiction of natural and social factors, which together makes the reader their witness.

AbstractThis article re-evaluates the significance attributed to Hecataeus' encounter with the Theban priests described by Herodotus (2.143) by setting it against the evidence of Late Period Egyptian representations of the past. In the first part a critique is offered of various approaches Classicists have taken to this episode and its impact on Greek historiography. Classicists have generally imagined this as an encounter in which the young, dynamic and creative Greeks construct an image of the static, ossified and incredibly old culture of the Egyptians, a move which reveals deeper assumptions in the scholarly discourse on Greeks and ‘other’ cultures in the Mediterranean world. But the civilization that Herodotus confronted in his long excursus on Egypt was not an abstract, eternal Egypt. Rather, it was the Egypt of his own day, at a specific historical moment – a culture with a particular understanding of its own long history. The second part presents evidence of lengthy Late Period priestly genealogies, and more general archaizing tendencies. Remarkable examples survive of the sort of visual genealogy which would have impressed upon the travelling Greek historians the long continuum of the Egyptian past. These include statues with genealogical inscriptions and relief sculptures representing generations of priests succeeding to their fathers' office. These priestly evocations of a present firmly anchored in the Egyptian past are part of a wider pattern of cultivating links with the historical past in the Late Period of Egyptian history. Thus, it is not simply the marvel of a massive expanse of time which Herodotus encountered in Egypt, but a mediated cultural awareness of that time. The third part of the essay argues that Herodotus used this long human past presented by the Egyptian priests in order to criticize genealogical and mythical representations of the past and develop the notion of an historical past. On the basis of this example, the article concludes by urging a reconsideration of the scholarly paradigm for imagining the encounter between Greeks and ‘others’ in ethnographic discourse in order to recognize the agency of the Egyptian priests, and other non-Greek ‘informants’.

Scientific Accuracy

Every day scores of scientific articles are published that report on the results of studies examining the causes and treatments of diseases. Each of these articles usually has five sections: 1. Abstract: an overall summary of what the paper is about 2. Introduction: an explanation of what the problem is and why the present study may offer new insights 3. Methods: a detailed account of exactly what the investigators did, usually including a statistical section in which the authors explain what mathematical tools they used to decide if their results are meaningful 4. Results: the data collected during the study (full of numbers, tables, and figures) 5. Discussion: the conclusion, in which the scientists explain the significance of their findings, what shortcomings their study had, and what should be done next to further understanding of the field in question It is hoped that other biomedical scientists and clinicians will read as many of these papers as possible so that they can keep up- to-date on the newest information. We expect that our doctors are on the cutting edge of medical science. But of course no individual can approach reading all of these papers, even if he or she narrows the field down by reading only the most relevant topics. Furthermore, scientific papers generally do not make the most gripping reading. Although editors of scientific journals expect the papers they publish to conform to proper spelling, grammar, and syntax, they place a premium on conveying scientific accuracy, not on producing page-turners. So at the end of a long day in the laboratory or clinic, what parts of a paper do scientists and clinicians actually read? The first thing to be ignored is the Methods section. A typical Methods section is full of technical details about who or what the subjects of the study were, what measurements were made, how the data were collected and stored, how informed consent was obtained if human subjects were involved, and what kinds of statistical analyses were done. Of course, this is the most important part of the paper.

In the paper the results of the study of naturalism in the works of Stefan Kovaliv are presented. The problem of naturalism in the works of Ukrainian writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries remains poorly studied. Among them is Stefan Kovaliv, a Ukrainian writer and teacher who worked for more than forty years as the head of a large public school in Boryslav and left a creative legacy – stories about life in Boryslav. S. Kovaliv's work took place during the intensive development of the city of Boryslav – a major oil center of Galicia and the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, whose colony was this Ukrainian territory. S. Kovaliv wrote under the influence of Ivan Franko – the founder of naturalism in the Ukrainian literature. Therefore, it was necessary to study the features of the works of S. Kovaliv in the context of compliance with the stylistic features of naturalism. In his works, the writer portrayed Ukrainians who became victims of the capitalists, who deceitfully took away their peasants' land for oil production. These shocking cases of injustice, as well as the situation of the peasants in Boryslav, became the object of the writer's image. The manifestation of signs of naturalism in the stories «Deserter», «Roit's hole», «Five», «Consequences of feebleness» is analyzed. It is determined that the depicted events are motivated by a social factor, for which the writer used such naturalistic techniques as factography of the image, logging of events with detailed reproduction of their course in time, recording small details, using contrasting scenes to achieve feedback from the reader. These techniques achieve objectivity, close to scientific accuracy, and high plausibility of the image. The figures depicted in the stories have their own individual characteristics due to their origin: gullibility, ignorance, helplessness – inherent mainly in Ukrainian peasants, cunning, use of any situation to their advantage, criminal actions – capitalist entrepreneurs, irresponsibility, indifference – to local officials, whose origin is not defined. Racial characteristics of the heroes of the works are revealed, motivated and intensified mainly in the negative direction under the influence of the social environment at a particular historical moment in Boryslav, at the time of development of the oil industry. On the basis of the conducted analysis the belonging of the writer to naturalists who formed a basis of existence of this literary direction in Ukraine is defined.

Holography has been used as a way of artistic expression, but it has little presence in art events, neither in articles about holographic woks in specialized magazines are very common, although valuable creators have experienced it, since the catalán Salvador Dalí to the american Bruce Nauman.This text explorer the cause of this poor presence. It’s strange that something so attractive and visually rich (also simbolically) is not visible in our historical moment, characterized by the voracity of convert in artistic resource any possible element.After research about the development of holographyc on the field of art, I formed a hypothesis about the reasons of their limited presence: The lack of synergy between scientific institutions and those dedicated to art, the disinterest of the commissioners and the lack of information. It is not enough whit the objects that are produced by isolated artists in their studios, art is a system of relationships where the work is involved as an other element of a structure.

AbstractThis paper examines the actions of one Salvadorean priest – Padre David Rodríguez – in one parish – Tecoluca – to underscore the importance of religious leadership in the rise of El Salvador's contentious political movement that began in the early 1970s, when the guerrilla organisations were only just beginning to develop. Catholic leaders became engaged in promoting contentious politics, however, only after the Church had experienced an ideological conversion, commonly referred to as liberation theology. A focus on one priest, in one parish, allows for generalisation, since scores of priests, nuns and lay workers in El Salvador followed the same injustice frame and tactics that generated extensive political mobilisation throughout the country. While structural conditions, collective action and resource mobilisation are undoubtedly necessary, the case of religious leaders in El Salvador suggests that ideas and leadership are of vital importance for the rise of contentious politics at a particular historical moment.

Shared Intentionality

Abstract Tomasello frequently refers to joint commitment, but does not fully characterize it. In earlier publications, I have offered a detailed account of joint commitment, tying it to a sense that the parties form a “we,” and arguing that it grounds directed obligations and rights. Here I outline my understanding of joint commitment and its normative impact.

Canada's rate of suicide varies from province to province. The classical theory of suicide, which attempts to explain the social suicide rate, stems from Durkheim, who argued that low levels of social integration and regulation are associated with high rates of suicide. The present study explored whether social factors (divorce, marriage, and birth rates) do in fact predict suicide rates over time for each province (period studied: 1950-1990). The results showed a positive association between divorce rates and suicide rates, and a negative association between birth rates and suicide rates. Marriage rates showed no consistent association, an anomaly as compared to research from other nations.

Abstract. Illness perception is a concept that reflects patients' emotional and cognitive representations of disease. This study assessed the illness perception change during 6 months in 195 patients (33% women and 67% men) with acute coronary syndrome, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social factors. At baseline, more threatening illness perception was observed in women, persons aged 65 years or more, with poorer functional capacity (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV) and comorbidities ( p < .05). Type D personality was the only independent factor related to more threatening illness perception (βs = 0.207, p = .006). At follow-up it was found that only self-reported cardiovascular impairment plays the role in illness perception change (βs = 0.544, p < .001): patients without impairment reported decreasing threats of illness, while the ones with it had a similar perception of threat like at baseline. Other biological, psychological, and social factors were partly associated with illness perception after an acute cardiac event but not with perception change after 6 months.
