Characters in Vasil Bykav's works
Get PDFThis bachelor thesis deals with literary analysis of characters in works of Belarusian writer Vasil Bykaŭ. Despite numerous translations, his works are not yet thoroughly researched in czech context. Primary this thesis is focused on contribution of the current narrative analysis which has been neglected. First chapter outlines Bykaŭ's works with emphasis on his approach to shaping the characters in the broader context of the main tendencies of Soviet war literature of the second half of the 20th century. The following chapter explains the most common procedures of the construction of Bykaŭ's characters and describes an analysis of other narrative categories which are essential for complete character modeling. The third chapter focuses on a brief typology of the characters appearing across Bykaŭ's works; in the centre of attention, there are the ways in which the author transforms and enriches the canonical index of socialist realism (war literature) characters
Biosynthesis of Salvia specialized metabolites and biotechnological approaches to increase their production
No full textAromatic Salvia species are particularly valuable for providing several bioactive compounds used as food additives, pigments, cosmetics, perfumes and fine chemicals. Within the Lamiaceae family, the Salvia genus, with more than 900 species, biosynthesizes a plethora of beneficial metabolites including terpenes, steroids and polyphenols. The whole plant can be considered a factory of bioactive compounds, but plant cell and tissue cultures are also an attractive sustainable alternative to cultivation. Salvia cell cultures can readily be initiated from different explants, including leaves, roots, stems, petioles, anthers and seedlings; however high metabolites accumulation in plant tissue and cell culture is a prerequisite for massive production of these bioactive compounds. In this chapter, the occurrence and tissue distribution of specialized metabolites in several Salvia species, especially flavonoids and diterpenoids, will be reviewed along with recent advances in the understanding of biosynthetic pathways as well as regulatory mechanisms leading to their biosynthesis. We will focus on the recent biotechnological approaches aimed at enhancing the final biomass and metabolite accumulation in Salvia cell and tissue cultures. Advances in metabolic engineering strategies will be also summarized, reporting relevant and successful results and potential pitfalls, in order to provide valuable perspectives for design and developing cell and tissue cultures as a reliable and standardized biomass platform for the extraction of Salvia bioactive metabolites
Soviet fiction on World War II and contemporary values: The case of Boris Vasil\u27ev
No full textWhen we study the history of the artistic portrayal of an historical event, such as World War II, we are really studying the changing perceptions of that event. These perceptions form the basis of cultural values, which in turn play a role in the formulation of national identity. This dissertation examines the work of one prominent Soviet war writer , Boris Vasil\u27ev, as the basis for a discussion of the literary portrayal of World War II in official Soviet fiction, and of how this theme operates in mass culture. Operating from the assumption that Vasil\u27ev is so popular because a broad spectrum of Soviet society can identify with the values embedded in his works, I suggest that we can ascertain those values by analyzing the intermedia transposition from fiction into film of the author\u27s two most famous works, sk10 sk25 sk30 sk35 and sk30 sk30 sk30. This analysis shows that the values are illuminated when we explore the boundaries between the different media versions: what remains the same when a work of fiction is transposed into film, and just as importantly, what changes occur (to insure that the same messages are conveyed in both versions), not so much in a technical sense, but through reorientation and reinterpretation. Also included in this dissertation is an overview of official Soviet fiction on World War II which serves as a contextual background for my discussion of Boris Vasil\u27ev. A representative work from each of the following periods is analyzed: 1939-43; 1943-47; 1947-Twentieth Party Conference in 1956; 1956-late 1960\u27s; 1970\u27s-early 1980\u27s; early 1980\u27s-present. The boundaries of these periods are more than just chronological and are determined largely by the tension between official Socialist Realist doctrine and the various approaches taken by writers to differing perceptions of the truth during the post-war years. It is in this context that I examine the history of the war theme in Soviet fiction in general, and the works of Boris Vasil\u27ev in particular
Dolomys nehringi Kretzoi 1959
No full textDolomys cf. nehringi Kretzoi, 1959 (Fig. 31A) MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 M3 (Ms41); LM3 = 2.02. DESCRIPTION M3 bears three salient angles on each side. Except BSA3, all are well developed. The BRA1 and LRA3 are deep and narrow. They persist as normal folds throughout the crown instead of being subject to reduction by insulation. The enamel is not differentiated. There are not dentine tracks. Number of roots is two. REMARKS According to size, the tooth is smaller than the respective molars of the type species of the genus, Dolomys milleri (Nehring, 1898) (Méhely 1914). On the other hand, it resembles Dolomys nehringi from Csarnóta-2 both in general size (although slightly smaller) and occlusal pattern, judging from the Kretzoi’s (1959: abb. 4) illustration. The molars of this species were however not described in detail by this author. This circumstance, as well as the scarce material from Muselievo (e.g., only one M3), makes the conclusive determination difficult.Published as part of Popov, Vasil V., 2004, Pliocene small mammals (Mammalia, Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, Rodentia) from Muselievo (North Bulgaria), pp. 403-491 in Geodiversitas 26 (3) on page 470, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.537719
The New Trend in the EU's Migration Policy: Is Externalization Any Better?
Get PDFThe highly dynamic security environment, characterized by numerous disturbances such as armed conflicts, civil wars, and political and social instability in various parts of the world, has led millions of people to flee their countries of origin - as of 2023, this number is 117,3 million. Against this background, the EU's migration policy has shifted from predominantly "open-door" during the 2014-2016 migration inflows to more restrictive measures to secure external borders. Part of these actions were the agreements with third countries as an alternative to effectively combatting irregular immigration. This paper aims to identify gaps in these EU agreements and suggest a more comprehensive approach. Comparative analysis, documentary analysis, and statistical data analysis were used in this respect
“POEMS ABOUT WAR” BY VASIL MAKHNO
No full textThe topic of war in the literature has probably not been foreign and
neglected on the example of any country, including the experience of
Ukraine. A lot of poems, short stories and novels were written about
the First and Second World Wars, and who would have thought that
the theme of war would take the leading place in modern Ukrainian
literature... As always, poetry reflected current painful issues and
described the reality seen through the eyes of different poets and
perceived by emotions.
Vasyl Makhno, a Ukrainian writer and publicist living in New York,
dedicated about twenty poems to this topic and even published “Poems
about War” in the form of a cycle.
Vasil Makhno’s poems about war attract the reader’s attention
by their titles: “War”, “To the Motherland”, “Exit”, “Shevchenko”, “From
Mariupol”, “Sadness Psalm”, “Bucha’s Psalm”, “Morning Doves’ Cooing”
are created about the current disaster in the homeland. Historical,
cultural or religious motifs are noticeable in the poems, and naturally,
each of them is distinguished by an abundance of artistic techniques
and intense emotional charge.
The author describes with documentary clarity the battle that
took place on the approaches to Mariupol, the despair of people, the
destroyed houses, at the same time he remembers Taras Shevchenko,
brings to life his monument, which stands proudly on a pedestal in front of the university in Kyiv and is a reliable source of Ukrainian bravery,
and portrays him as an ordinary soldier who will defend his homeland
with his chest and strengthen his back. in battle and tribulation. Bucha
calls it a city of pain and fear and asks: when will it all end? What will
happen in the coming months? Will the cities go up in fl ames again?
Where can you fi nd solace?
It should be noted that Vasyl Makhno’s poems are aimed at the
aestheticization of the issue of war, and from this point of view it will
probably play a signifi cant role in the history of Ukrainian literature.
This is poetry about death and life, good and evil, their intersection,
and once again confi rms that the more diffi cult the existence, the more
painful the current events, the more clear the infinite possibilities of
literature
