Distribution of blood flow oscillation across the Doppler shift evaluated by the proposed approach with local pressure test.
No full text<p>A step-wise increase in local pressure is known to cause a gradual change in the parameters of capillary blood flow in the<br>
upper layers of the skin, and can also affect the measurement results of various optical methods. The impact of the procedure has several subsequent effects, such as mechanical compression of vessels, and neurological and metabolic compensating mechanisms like pressure-induced vasodilation, which maintain the homeostasis of the skin during moderate levels of external pressure and tissue hypoxia. To examine how those effects are translated to the blood flow registering in different ranges of the Doppler spectra, we have developed a 3D-printed pressure distribution tool compatible with the developed sensor which was used, and equipped with a set of weights. </p>
<p>During the main series of measurements, the weights were placed into the PDT in a step-wise manner to achieve the<br>
following values of pressure applied: 10 mmHg, 30 mmHg, 90 mmHg, 150 mmHg, 210 mmHg. At the end of the procedure, the load was reduced back to 30 mmHg. Experiments were conducted with the participation of 7 healthy volunteers with 10 min LDF recording for each step. To estimate the prominence of the observed effects and substantiate the measuring routing, several preliminary experiments were also conducted where the set of values of pressure was applied with a step-wise increase and then decrease with about 2 min of LDF recordings for each step.</p>

Romanticism and Realism in Pushkin's Evgenii Onegin
No full textAn analysis of Pushkin's novel Evgenii Onegin with the aim of showing that although superficially influenced by the romantic school, Pushkin may be considered the author of the first great example of realism in the field of the Russian novel. Contains a preface and five chapters. Chapter I discusses the terms realism and romanticism; Chapter II outlines the content of the novel as published by Pushkin; Chapter III discusses the chapters sketched by Pushkin but never published; in Chapter IV an attempt is made to separate the realistic from the romantic elements in the novel; Chapter V provides a summary of the most important findings.Master of Arts (MA
Evgenii Kharitonov and the Aesthetics of Sousveillance
No full textThis article analyzes the fiction of the Russian author Evgenii Kharitonov through the lens of Steve Mann’s (2013) theorization of “sousveillance” and Édouard Glissant’s (2010) conception of the right to opacity. As a gay man and dissident writer, Kharitonov was under observation by the KGB throughout his life, and his stories frequently confront the inherent violence of homophobic surveillance in the Soviet Union. However, this article demonstrates how Kharitonov actively resists Soviet surveillance by drawing attention to the performance of gay invisibility that it enforces and challenging the implicit conceptions of homosexuality that it entails. Through a close reading of several short stories from his collection, Under House Arrest [Pod domashnim arestom] (1998), I argue that Kharitonov’s stories use strategies of sousveillance to explore the opaque spaces where gay communities could exist outside the visibility and conceptual legibility of official surveillance

Pain medicine in fiction. Bekhterev's disease in Evgenii Litvak’s web novel “The Age of Glory and Hope”
No full textThe article provides an overview of pain medicine as a component of the art world of fiction. The semantic meaning of the disease (for example, tuberculosis, epilepsy, infectious diseases (plague), Bekhterev's disease) as one of the character's or author's characteristic (Lesya Ukrainka) is analyzed. A general analysis of the integrative connections between medicine and literature as humanities is offered. On the example of the web novel “The Age of Glory and Hope” by Evgenii Litvak, the course of Bekhterev's disease in the main character is reviewed, as well as the therapy proposed by the author in the work as opposed to the conventional medicine. It is noted that the state of pregnancy in which the main character of the novel is, contributes to the intensification of blood supply in the body, which can positively affect recovery. In particular, it is emphasized that in the modern informational space the user has access to special knowledge and professional sources, which allows to operate with specialized medical knowledge (at the erudition level) in the fiction, while being clear to the reader, which is one of the features of internet literature, which includes the web novel “The Age of Glory and Hope” by Evgenii Litvak

Institutional Gothic in the Novels of Vladimir Sharov and Evgenii Vodolazkin
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Taylor and Francis via the DOI in this recordVladimir Sharov (1952-2018) and Evgenii Vodolazkin (1964-) are among the most significant and influential writers of contemporary postmodern Russian fiction. This article argues that the subgenre of institutional Gothic – defined here as Gothic plots set in mental asylums, hospital wards, and other places of involuntary confinement – is an important structural and metafictional element in their novels. It also suggests that these authors’ use of the Gothic mode corresponds to the traditional function of Gothic narrative as a reaction to historical trauma. Each of the novels discussed here (Sharov’s Sled v sled (In His Footsteps, 1988), and Vodolazkin’s Aviator (The Aviator, 2016)) re-sites traditional European Gothic plots in analogous Soviet and post-Soviet institutional settings, including the clinic, the prison camp, and the mental asylum. For context, the article also discusses Gothic aspects of Sharov’s later novels Repetitsii (The Rehearsals, 1992) and Do i vo vremia (Before and During, 1993)
