INTRODUCTION Our long-term experience of efficient physical methods application in medical rehabilitation and cosmetology, numerous researches conducted in the leading scientific centers of the world, on the determination of magnetic fields action mechanism, an optical stream, electric currents and ultrasonic fluctuations on biological tissue. All these investigations have stimulated the development of recent trends in a hardware cosmetology and the creation of high-performance technologies of facial and body care, for the purpose of delay of the aging processes in a human body and providing their attractive esthetic look. In the technologies developed by us, there are three principles. Firstly: a systemic many-level approach to the definition of the main influence zones, while setting procedure. Secondly: physiologically reasonable choice of physical factors, for restitution of work on biological systems of a human body. Thirdly: physiologically reasonable resonance principle of a parameters choice is a form of a signal, its amplitude or power, frequency of modulation or duration of an impulse, spectral range and others. Today it is hard to find at least one expert, who is working in a cosmetology and would call into question high performance of the application of a machine cosmetology in the fight for beauty, a retardation of aging and preservations of youth. The hardware cosmetology gives the chance not only to improve the appearance of the skin but also to restore the natural mechanism of work of the functional systems responsible for the skin, fat deposits and muscular tissue. For the achievement of optimal result on the care of person, neck and “decollete” zone of at implementation of procedures with the use of vehicle methods the observance of the next basic stages needed: Cleaning and deintoxication skin and organism on the whole. An improvement of microcirculation of liquid is in the zone of influence. An improvement of innervation of the skin is within the area of influence. Stimulation of exchange processes is in a skin and muscles (functional systems related to them), improvement of their feed and satiation water. Protection of skin from external influences using masks and creams. In case of physical factors application in cosmetology it is necessary to observe next basic principles: Physiology - procedure choice determined by the state of the skin, problems with her normal functioning, task and expected result that you want to get, presence of vehicle facilities, that provides influence the set physical factor with parameters optimal for normalization of the function of the certain physiological system. Adequacy of influence is a choice of a physical factor and methodology of realization of procedure must correspond to adaptation possibilities of the organism of the client. Complexity and system of vehicle cosmetology - a procedural complex must provide affecting different systems of the organism. To envisage not only local but also reflex affecting internal organs, the aesthetic state of skin and muscles of the face of client depends on work of that. Early use - reasonable application of physical factors in the early stages considerably improves results and abbreviates a number of procedures. Sequence - the variety of application of procedures it is necessary to choose, taking into account the pre-arranged effect, synergism, at the action of different physical factors and results of previous procedures. Periodicity - depending on the state of the skin and her rehabilitation potential originally conducted 5-15 procedures. Procedures, as a rule, are conducted 2-3 times per a week. An interruption between procedures must be about 2-4 weeks. Subsequent "supporting" procedures conducted 3-5 one time per a month. Optimal dosages - appointing duration of manipulation to take into account the criteria of power/dose/effect and physiological features of work of the organism. The dynamic quality of the use - to avoid getting of organism used to influence, during all course it is necessary to change the parameters of the recipe of procedures depending on the physiological features of the zone of procedure and her reaction on a physical factor. Individual approach - it is desirable to take into account biological rhythms, type of skin, her state, sexual and age-related features of clients while setting procedures. It is crucial to consider the psychosomatic state of client and presence of syndrome of the hidden depression or chronic tiredness while drafting the program of face care. Psychosomatic correction - often it is enough customers with the syndromes of the hidden depression or chronic tiredness are present; it reduces the efficiency of the conducted procedures considerably. For indemnification of it providing the maximal comfort level of realization of procedures and application is needed in the complex program of physical factors and modes, offering indemnification of the hidden depression and decline of the degree of the syndrome of chronic tiredness. Relaxation - the deeper relaxation for a client, the more efficient procedure. Optimal is a variant when a client sleeps during the procedure. Decrease of negative indications level - before the beginning of procedures and after every cleaning procedure, it is necessary to execute cleaning of facial skin alkaline solutions (Ph no less than 5,5), to execute the massage of zone of venous outflow (from a mastoid to the connected zone) in the flow of 1-2 minutes from every side and in every 30-40 minutes of work with a customer, to execute the easy massage of lymph nodes of person in a flow 0,5 - 1 minutes from every side. Care of person with the use of the techniques and vehicles, worked out by a firm "Мединтех" (Medintech), are the newest technologies of effective work in cosmetology. In combination with hand methodologies and individually neat cosmetic vehicle, procedures allow reaching staggering results.Chuhraev N., Zukow W., Samosiuk N., Chuhraeva E., Tereshchenko A., Gunko M., Unichenko A., Paramonova A.

    Pharmacologically controlled, discontinuous GDNF gene therapy restores motor function in a rat model of Parkinson's disease

    Neurotrophic factors have raised hopes to be able to cure symptoms and to prevent progressive neurodegeneration in devastating neurological diseases. Gene therapy by means of viral vectors can overcome the hurdle of targeted delivery, but its current configuration is irreversible and thus much less controllable than that of classical pharmacotherapies. We thus aimed at developing a strategy allowing for both curative and controllable neurotrophic factor expression. Therefore, the short-term, intermittent and reversible expression of a neutrophic factor was evaluated for therapeutic efficacy in a slowly progressive animal model of Parkinson's disease (PD). We demonstrate that short-term induced expression of glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is sufficient to provide i) substantial protection of nigral dopaminergic neurons from degeneration and ii) restoration of dopamine supply and motor behaviour in the partial striatal 6-OHDA model PD. These neurorestorative effects of GDNF lasted several weeks beyond the time of its expression. Later on, therapeutic efficacy ceased, but was restored by a second short induction of GDNF expression, demonstrating that monthly application of the inducing drug mifepristone was sufficient to maintain neuroprotective and neurorestorative GDNF levels. These findings suggest that forthcoming gene therapies for PD or other neurodegenerative disorders can be designed in a way that low frequency application of an approved drug can provide controllable and therapeutically efficient levels of GDNF or other neurotrophic factors. Neurotrophic factor expression can be withdrawn in case of off-target effects or sufficient clinical benefit, a feature that may eventually increase the acceptance of gene therapy for less advanced patients, which may profit better from such approaches.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Man eller mus? : En studie i representationer av maskulinitet och dandyism i Alexander Golovins porträtt av Mikhail Tereshchenko.

    No full text
    The purpose of this study is to analyze the representation of masculinity of Mikhail Tereshchenko as painted by Alexander Golovin at the beginning of the 20’th century, and to connect masculinity to the values of dandyism. An iconological analysis, in the style of Erwin Panofsky, and literary research resulted in various findings. Dandyism could partly be seen as a reaction against the normative masculinity, or hegemonic masculinity stated by R.W. Connell. Both Tereshchenko and Golovin were in their everyday life surrounded by highly regarded dandies and it is likely that they were influenced by the sprezzatura, esthetics and values of dandyism. The portrait reveals the wealth and status of Tereshchenko through the clothing and artefacts visible in the painting. These objects correspond with the importance of the ‘detail’ in dandyism. Golovin and Mir Iskusstva is a great example of how artists as a social group nourished dandyism in ways other than outer appearance.

    Детальні студії над науковою спадщиною Олександра Терещенка (1806–1865) у cфері етнології дали можливість авторці статті виявити матеріал, що підтверджує зацікавлення вченого феноменом духовної пісні в українській усній традиції. Власне, увага до духовної пісні, до різних рівнів її функціонування у багатотомному дослідженні О. Терещенка «Бытъ русскаго народа», виданому 1848 року, простежується лише на українському ґрунті. Метою статті є систематизація цього матеріалу на тлі інших записів і прижиттєвих публікацій дослідника, а також публікацій пізнішого часу. У статті застосовуються методи, традиційні для історії української фольклористики: насамперед історичний, порівняльний, описовий, що зумовлено специфікою статті, епізодично використано структурно-типологічний і герменевтичний методи. Новизна й актуальність статті випливають з того, що народознавчі праці Олександра Терещенка вивчалися мало, а це сприяло використанню його записів та ширших напрацювань у недостатньо чесний спосіб. Попри те, проблематика дослідження української народної духовної пісні на сучасному етапі українознавчих студій набуває особливої гостроти у зв’язку з тим, що вивчення цього фольклорного різновиду тривалий період гальмувалося несприятливими суспільно-політичними чинниками. Терещенкові записи й спостереження в контексті досліджень духовних пісень тут розглянуті вперше, що дає підставу зробити висновок про неперехідне значення його записів та спостережень для різнобічного пізнання й осмислення природи духовних пісень і особливостей їх функціонування. Серед іншого треба наголосити на безсумнівній цінності найдавніших публікацій популярних творів, виразних свідченнях пошанування окремих святих, майстерних описах середовищ, які сприяли вихованню виконавців, слухачів та популяризаторів української духовної пісні.Detailed studies of the scientific heritage of Alexander Tereshchenko (1806–1865) in the field of ethnology allowed the author of the article to identify the material confirming the scientist's interest in the phenomenon of a spiritual song in the Ukrainian oral tradition. It is worth noting that attention to the spiritual song to the different levels of its functioning in a multi-volume study of A. Tereshchenko "Way of life of the Russian people", published in 1848, can be traced only on Ukrainian ground. The purpose of the article is to systematize this material according to other records and lifetime publications of the researcher, as well as publications of later times. The article uses methods traditional for the history of Ukrainian Folklore Studies: primarily historical, comparative, descriptive, due to the specifics of the article, occasionally were used structuraltypo-logical and hermeneutic methods. The novelty and relevance of the article stem from the fact that the ethnographic works of Oleksandr Tereshchenko have been little studied, and this fact has contributed to the use of his records and broader elaborations in an insufficiently honest way. Nevertheless, studying of Ukrainian folk spiritual songs at the present stage of Ukrainian studies becomes particularly acute because investigating this folk variety has been hampered for a long time by adverse sociopolitical factors. Tereshchenko's records and observations in the context of research of spiritual songs are considered here for the first time, giving grounds to conclude about the intransitive significance of his records and observations for versatile cognition and comprehension of the nature of spiritual songs and features of their functioning. Among other things, it is necessary to emphasize the undoubted value of the oldest publications of popular works, the clear evidence of respect for individual saints, the masterful descriptions of environments that contributed to the education of performers, listeners and promoters of Ukrainian spiritual song

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
