This article shows how in I.S. Turgenev's story "Petushkov" the life of the protagonist changes: he turns from a noble officer into a miserable sick person. The work talks about the influence of female "demonic" forces on the fate of the lieutenant. An attempt is made to show the female image as a combination of several types of Turgenev's heroines. The development of the theme of a "little man" is shown not only as the embodiment of the Gogol tradition, but also as the author's interpretation of it.

As the Women’s Liberation Movement developed in the 1970s, women challenged society’s limited female representation as either the Madonna or the whore. Musicals in the 1970s, including Grease (1972), Chicago (1975) and Evita (1979), complicated the female image through the juxtaposition of feminine stereotypes in the heroine’s persona. With each of the shows centralizing the plot around analysing the contradictory feminine image, the women perform in both public and private settings, along with other characters critiquing their personas. From feminist protesters to the writings of Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan, Sandy, Roxie and Eva reflect the requests of contemporary women to display their gender as something beyond the perceived dichotomy of Madonna or whore in their music performances.

Mystirio sau, Sacrament, sau, Taine 2, de în ceale 7, Botezul și S[fân]t[ul] Mir (= MYS) is a liturgical handbook for priests printed in 1651 in Târgoviște (Wallachia) at the initiative of Metropolitan Stephen I. This book of small dimensions comprises an introductive guide of sacramental theology for two Sacraments of Christian initiation, namely the Holy Baptism and Holy Chrismation, together with the description of their ordo and other prebaptismal and postbaptismal rites, the Canons of the Apostles and Holy Fathers for the Sacrament of Baptism, the ordo when in extreme urgency occasion arises to give communion to a sick person, a prayer for one who has eaten something defiling and instructions for the confessor priest. Although the prayers, liturgical formulas and scripturistic lectures are printed in Slavonic, the teachings and the rubrics are translated into Romanian language. In this paper the author analyses the liturgical rites described in MYS and, comparing it with other contemporary liturgical documents, demonstrates that while some parts in MYS were taken from an Slavonic Euchologion printed at Câmpulung (Wallachia) in 1635, the primary source of this book is the Kievan Trebnik of Peter Mohyla (1646).

On the basis of observations on patients with African relapsing typhus the author expresses the following view on the history of development of spir. Duttoni in the body of the tick and in the organism of a sick person: spirochaetes entering the tick body together with the blood of a sick person lose their mobility and turn into granules, which are small lumps surrounded by a homogeneous mass; at some time they can be found in eggs in the ovary and in young larvae (nymphs).

This system of care rests on the solid foundation of a principle of human nature—the mothering instinct in women. This is not restricted in its operation to a woman's own offspring, but extends in a certain degree to all children as well, and often manifests itself in the most striking manner in those women who have no children of their own. Nor is it reserved for the helplessness of childhood alone, but it includes within the scope of its action the weakness of the sick person and the infirmity of the aged. As a consequence of this, a liking exists on the part of most women for sick-nursing, which in some amounts to an instinctive craving which must be gratified, and almost all for the same reason possess a natural aptitude in picking up the practical details of nursing and care which amounts in not a few to a species of genius. If we exclude the care of insane men from our view, it can be said that wherever we have weakness and suffering and the need of personal care, there women find an opportunity for the exercise of what is a natural vocation, there we find them acting as “ministering angels.”

The rural population of the province of Boeotia in Greece now makes considerable use of hospital care for childbirth and for serious illness.1 Both men and women, even those of the older generation, allow themselves to be hospitalized without objection, often, indeed quite willingly. This is a new phenomenon. It is a particularly interesting one because of the many psychological and practical obstacles in the way of the hospitalization of a Greek village patient. Traditionally, there has been a tendency to view hospitalization as a form of desertion of the sick person by the members of his family.2 Transportation to and from the villages to the provincial town in which the hospitals are located is difficult and expensive. Besides, doctors' bills and hospital costs themselves are quite high by local standards.

The twelfth century canon lawyer Gratian once wrote “Feed the man dying of hunger, because if you have not fed him you have killed him.” If Gratian were alive today, he might take a look at the current state of global health and say, “Succor the woman dying of disease, because if you have not helped her you have killed her.” Both of these statements express an ethical obligation: if I have food, and someone else who is hungry does not, I am obligated to share my food. Likewise, if I have medicine, and someone else who is sick does not, I am obligated to share my medicine.Unfortunately, with regard to medicines and other essential products, modern institutions of intellectual property often fail to enforce or even recognize such ethical obligations. In some ways, these institutions uphold an even harsher attitude toward intellectual property than other types of property. With food, even if the hungry person receives no bread, he is still permitted to produce his own. With medicines, medical technologies, and other types of goods that are protected by institutions of intellectual property, the law can and often does prevent the sick person from producing her own.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of femvertising as a marketing and communication strategy aimed at women, ideologically inspired by feminisms, destroying gender stereotypes. It is contrasted with advertisements that exploit the female image, sexualize women or show women in the context of only domestic work. Based on the works of E. Becker-Herbie, M. Mendenez, K. Linder, as well as I. Goffman, the article analyzes female gender displays in advertising for the Russian audience. The repertoire of analyzed gender representations in advertising demonstrates the content of femvertising: from a set of social problems that oppress women to a broadcast discourse of strength, independence, solidarity and self-confidence. The question that remains open is whether femvertising can sell as well as it can mobilize a new generation of forward thinking.
