Oscar — 2022: Hamaguchi Ryūsuke
No full textThe article is devoted to the work of the famous Japanese film director Hamaguchi Ryūsuke — a representative of the new generation of Japanese cinematographers. He is the winner of many prestigious awards of the international film festivals in Locarno, Cannes, etc. His film Drive My Car received the prize of the American Film Academy, Oscar — 2022, as the best foreign film. The film is unusual and interesting in many of its features, which are described in detail in this paper. But, first of all, the author draws attention to the fact that the plot of this picture is based on the eponymous story by the popular Japanese novelist Murakami Haruki. At the same time, the director borrowed a lot from the play “Uncle Vanya”, written by Russian classic A. P. Chekhov, whose influence is quite evident in all the director’s recent works. Another key figure who determined the main vector of creativity of Hamaguchi is Andrei Tarkovsky. The Japanese director owes his acquaintance with Tarkovsky’s films to his teacher — a master of modern Japanese cinema Kurosawa Kiyoshi. Thus, the Russian theme is one of the most interesting aspects of his work. At the same time, the author seeks to analyze in details other literary and cinematic origins of Hamaguchi’s directorial career and comes to the conclusion that his work is a complex but harmonious synthesis of Western and Japanese culture with the latter’s pronounced national traditions

Chemically Reactive Species In Liquids Generated By Atmospheric-Pressure Plasmas And Their Roles In Plasma Medicine

Such plasmas can serve as a powerful source of free radicals and/or chemically reactive species that arise from atoms and molecules of the ambient gas. Recently use of such plasmas for medical purposes has attracted much attention as they can be implemented in possible medical devices that can cause blood coagulation, heal wounds, facilitate angiogenesis, sterilize surgical devices as well as living tissues without harming healthy cells, and selectively inactivate cancer cells. Especially of interest among reactive species generated by atmospheric-pressure plasmas (APP) are reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that are generated in liquid phase. Since most living tissues and cells are immersed in liquids (such as blood or culture media), reactive species generated by APPs in the gas phase are transported to the liquid phase and possibly converted to different types of reactive species therein before causing some influence on the tissues or cells. In this study, the rate equations are solved to evaluate concentrations of various reactive species in pure water that are originated by plasma reactions in atmosphere and possible effects of such species (including ROS/RNS) on living tissues and cells are discussed
Baking soda ingestion and the effects on endurance cycling
No full textHave you ever experienced a burning sensation in your muscles when you are exercising? This sensation, as well as muscle fatigue, comes from increased hydrogen ions (H+) in the muscle cell, which inhibits the rate of muscle contraction and decreases performance. Sodium bicarbonate (SB) acts as a natural buffering agent to reduce H+ which delays fatigue and improves aerobic performance. Purpose: Determine whether SB has a positive correlation on sustained aerobic performance.
Hypothesis: Ingesting sodium bicarbonate 1-hour prior to the FTP cycling test will decrease sustained power output and increase distance covered. Conclusion: There is no statistical significant difference between SB ingestion and sustained power output, however, recreational athletes looking to improve aerobic performance may utilize SB to improve power output and delay fatigue.Not peer reviewedStudent Research Day Poster (2019
Bis(2,2&#8242;-bipyridine)(pyridin-2-olato)ruthenium(II) hexafluoridophosphate benzene hemisolvate
No full textIn the title compound, [Ru(C5H4NO)(C10H8N2)2]PF6&#183;0.5C6H6, the Ru2+ cation has a distorted octahedral RuN5O coordination environment. This complex is more distorted than the closely related ruthenium complex containing a pyridine-2-thiolate ligand [Santra et al. (1997). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1387&#8211;1393]. The distortion is caused by the difference in size between the O and S atoms. The benzene solvent molecule is situated on a twofold rotation axis
Validation of a phage-open reading frame typing kit for rapid identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) transmission in a tertiary hospital

However, phage-open reading frame typing (POT) has recently been developed. Here, we investigated whether POT would be useful to survey MRSA outbreaks and transmission. We therefore applied POT to 91 MRSA isolates detected in cultures from inpatients at our hospital between May and October 2014. Among the 91 isolates, 12 POT types comprising 38 isolated MRSA strains were considered as overlapping. Five of them were detected in different wards, whereas the remaining seven were found in the same ward, including the emergency department. Three of seven POT number 93-155-111 strains were detected in the surgical ward, and all of four POT number 93-157-61 strains were detected in the cardiosurgical ward. These data suggested that transmission of the MRSA strains with the same POT-types from the same wards was nosocomial, and that POT accurately and rapidly identified MRSA strains, which allowed effective control of infection and transmission. Keywords: MRSA, active surveillance, POT, nosocomial transmission
