The presentation of death in L. N. Tolstoy's prose.
No full textThis study treats in detail one of the significant themes of world literature in the narratives of the Russian writer L. N. Tolstoy. The theme of death, its modalities, motifs and related aspects, occur frequently in all of Tolstoy's artistic and philosophical writings. He presents this theme in connection with other dominant themes such as appearance and reality, falsity and truth, the attempts and failures to materialize individuals' objectives, all in various contexts of life--both private and public, and especially military life. The selection of themes such as sexuality, violence, or the transgression of moral laws, also affects the presentation of the theme of death. Instead of focusing on one pair of dominant semantic fields, Tolstoy (in the majority of his narratives) connects several of them equally. There are very few of his works in which one semantic field dominates. In accordance with Realist poetics, Tolstoy presents the theme of death directly; references to death on an allegorical or symbolic level occur in only a few of his narratives. In his early works, Tolstoy varies not only the fundamental modalities, but also the basic modes of violent and natural death. The presentation of a theme in a narrative differs depending on the length of the narrative. In his shorter prose fiction, Tolstoy concentrates the theme of death into specific passages, while its presentation in the longer narratives is distributed throughout the texts. In presenting the various characters, his narrators reveal their philosophies of life, which are particularly apparent in the borderline situation of death and dying. Members of different social classes display, as a rule, contrasting philosophies in revealing their attitudes and reactions--a trend which is again noticeable both in Tolstoy's major prose and in his late narratives. The author's focus on introspection (although in his early prose members of the lower classes are excluded from this technique) continues to play an important role in his late work as well. The author uses typical narrative devices such as anticipation, retrospection, association and paradox in the depiction of this complex theme as he attempts to 'de-romanticize', 'de-sensationalize' and 'de-dramatize' this topic. Despite the general tendency to omit the actual moment of death, there are a few works in which the horror of violent death shocks the reader. As for artistic development in presenting this theme, Tolstoy continues to employ a basic stock of devices and techniques already manifest in his early works

Alexey Feofilaktovich Pisemsky as dramatist
No full textIf an artist were to reproduce on canvas Pisemsky's Muse, from the evidence of the scattered "objective detailed"
analyses of his critics, the Muse would definitely be the ugliest thing that any author could choose for his "inspirational" source.
The purpose of this study is to illustrate the unfair
position accorded Pisemsky in Russian dramaturgy and to assign him a proper place in Russian drama by fresh evaluation of his abilities as the dramatist.
The Introduction suggests the possible reasons for which Pisemsky was placed in an oblivion. It also argues that the scepticism, which penetrated some of his works, even if it were somewhat peculiar to him in nature, was definitely aroused by the confusing multi-party Russia of the 1860's and 1870's. Chapter One retraces the more important themes in Russian drama in an attempt to place Pisemsky in the tradition.
Chapter Two is a detailed analysis of the lingering critical attitudes toward Pisemsky which claim that his works lacked the revolutionary zeal for improvement of Russia, and that he was not a playwright but an author of
pamphlets.
In Chapter Three an attempt is made to define the main aspects of Pisemsky's art through his letters and views implicit in his plays. It is also suggested in this Chapter that Pisemsky's plays were revolutionary in their own way, and that they were not directed at the "yawning space", but, to people, directed with harsh rebuke, yet with sincere hope in an eventually brighter future. Chapter Four and the Conclusion are devoted to the analyses of his plays in an effort to show that many of them, in their theme, structure, form and other traditional elements of drama, indeed secure him much better place in Russian dramaturgy than hitherto given him.Arts, Faculty ofCentral, Eastern, and Northern European Studies, Department ofGraduat

A hodoscope calorimeter for high enegy hadrons: ihep-iisn-lapp collaboration.
No full textA total absorption hodoscope calorimeter is described. It allows the simultaneous measurement of the energy of the incident hadrons as well as their coordinates with a precision of 1 cm for hadron energies of tens of GeV and higher. The behavior of the calorimeter is studied with incident pions, kaons, antiprotons and electrons.SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
A New Way to Model Periodontitis in Laboratory Animals
No full textThe prevalence of periodontal diseases is increasing, tends to increase with age and is considered as one of the main causes of tooth loss. To assess the effectiveness of new methods of treatment of periodontal diseases, studies on laboratory animals can be promising. The aim of the study: to develop a new method of accelerated modeling of experimental periodontitis on laboratory animals. Material and methods. The study was carried out on 22 female rats. A wire ligature was applied to the cervical area of the incisors of the animals in an eight-shaped manner. Plaque obtained from a patient with periodontitis was placed under the wire, and nicotine and ethyl alcohol solutions were injected under the gingival mucosa. A complex index has been proposed to assess inflammation. At the end of the experiment the animals were euthanized, their jaws were dissected into dentoalveolar blocks and further descriptive histologic analysis was performed. Results. On the second day the gingiva of the rats acquired a cyanotic-pink color, on the fourth day the consistency of the gingiva became friable, mobility appeared in the lower incisors. Complex index of inflammation in animals of the main group: before the study—9, on the 7th day—195. Gingival preparations showed signs of exudative inflammation. In alveolar processes—irreversible resorption of bone structures. The difference of indicators in animals before and after the experiment was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The new experimental model of periodontitis is reproduced in a short period of time, provides intensive development of inflammation, leads to disruption of the integrity of epithelial and connective tissue attachment, destruction of alveolar bone
Studies of the reaction π-p→η′π0n at 38 and 100 GeV/c
No full textThe production of η′π0 system in π-p charge-exchange interactions at π- momenta 38 GeV/c and 100 GeV/c has been studied. The 2γ and ηπ0π0 decay modes of η′ leading to 4γ and 8γ final states respectively have been detected. No statistically significant peak is observed in the η′π0 mass spectrum in the range of 1.2 GeV÷2.1 GeV. An upper limit of 6·10-3 has been established for the a20(1320)→η′π0 branching ratio. © 1992 Springer-Verlag.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
