A corpus-based study of embellishment in translations of the Newbery Medal Awards

Embellishment is a stylistic feature of translated children’s literature. In recent years, children’s reading choices and experiences have been truly thought highly of and, today, the idea that lexical enrichment is good for children ––either for their writing or reading experience–– is prevailing among children’s literature translators and book editors. With this in mind, a small corpus composed of translations of the Newbery Medal Awards was built to figure out whether the phenomenon of embellishment exists in English-Chinese translations of children’s literature and, if so, what are the motivations for it. The corpus includes six books selected on four criteria. The study suggests that embellishment is a typical feature of selected translations of the Newbery Awards and that it can be related to both book editing and the translator’s own choices.

Путь к читателю: Ф. Сологуб и его первые книги

The study looks at the period of F. Sologub's entry into literature, especially the time of the first book editions (“Poems. Book One”, “Heavy dreams”, “Shadows. Stories and poems”). The process of forming the literary reputation of F. Sologub in 1896–1898 was chosen as the subject of consideration. The history of the publication of the first collection of poems as one of the most significant moments of literary biography reflects the orientation towards a particular audience and allows us to assess the vector of perception of creativity which is given to criticism by the writer himself. The revealed archival materials and the bibliographic searches carried out make it possible to more fully evaluate the perception of the first collection of F. Sologub, as well as the participation and role of the writer in distributing books and popularizing his name in the periodicals. Having published the first collection of poems, Sologub sent out copies through Russian editorial offices of magazines and newspapers for review. According to the list of periodicals, it may be assumed that the writer targeted the provincial reader. However, Sologub did not receive the expected response, because he was identified as a representative of the emerging decadent trend, which was attacked in 1895 after the publication of the “Russian Symbolists” collection.

The Cambridge Centenary Ulysses: The 1922 Text with Essays and Notes

The first Lithuanian geography books

The abundance of literary sources issued in the XIX and XX century and their analysis showed quick development of sciences of the nature during that period and it affected a quick growth of edition of Lithuanian books. Much attention was paid to geographical books. The following persons deserved to the Lithuanian culture contributed to their edition: S. Matulaitis, J. Adomaitis-Šernas, P. Vileišis, J. Biliūnas etc. They translated the works of foreign scientists or wrote according to their editions. The following scientists should be mentioned: A. Geikie, H. N. Hutchinson, M. Brzezinski, F. Piotrowski etc. The first Lithuanian geological editions were issued in a big run and were reissued. The books were mostly printed abroad: in Tilsit, Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. Keywords: Lithuanian press ban, geographical books, book publishing.

Систематическое положение, статус, распространение и численность шахина в Казахстане

The article analyses information about the distribution of the Red-Naped Shaheen (Falco peregrinus babylonicus) in Kazakhstan from the 19th century to the present. Based on these data, the boundaries of the breeding range were drawn and expert estimates of abundance were obtained. The article also discusses the systematic position of the Red-Naped Shaheen. It proposes that it be considered a subspecies of the peregrine falcon in the new edition of the Red Data Book of Kazakhstan.

Предварительные результаты мониторинга гнездовых участков стервятника в Армении в 2021 и 2023 годах

The Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) is one of the four breeding vulture species in Armenia. The most recent information on the status of the Egyptian Vulture population in Armenia can be found in the latest edition of the Red Data Book of the Republic of Armenia (2010), which reports the presence of 40–60 breeding pairs, including 10 in protected areas of Armenia. Previously published studies conducted from 1973 to 1994 (particularly in 1975–1977 and 1981–1989) confirmed the presence of only 3 breeding pairs, but it was assumed that there should be 40–50 breeding pairs, mainly in the Bazum, Pambak, Areguni, Geghama, Vardenis and Zangezur mountain ranges. Additionally, 7 active nests were reported during the 1960–1995 field observations at Kapan, Byurakan, Garni, Noratoos, Vedi, Shamoot and near Yerevan. Although the reproductive success of the reported 40–60 breeding pairs has never been verified, this number of pairs was assumed to be accurate based on vulture abundance counts. The lack of up-todate data, as well as frequent sightings of abandoned nests during our sporadic observations in previous years, highlighted the need to assess the current population status of the Egyptian Vulture in Armenia in order to estimate the breeding success and population dynamics of the species, identify the main threats to the species, and develop appropriate conservation measures. Our research was conducted in 2021 and 2023 and aimed to estimate the current population status of the Egyptian Vulture in Armenia. The fieldwork was based on available data on breeding territories and maps of suitable nesting habitats produced using predictive modelling. Field studies were conducted from March to July 2021 and 2023 in Ararat (2021, 2023), Armavir (2021), Aragatsotn (2023), Kotayk (2021, 2023), Vayots Dzor (2023), Lori (2021, 2023), Shirak (2021), Gegharkunik (2023), Tavush (2021), and Syunik (2021) regions using a spotting scope, binoculars, and a drone. Preliminary results showed 6 active nests with 3 fledglings in the breeding territories checked in 2021 (1 nestling per nest in Lori, Tavush, and Vayots Dzor regions), and 3 active nests in the breeding territories checked in 2023, with 1 unsuccessful breeding in Vayots Dzor and 2 successful breedings in Vayots Dzor and Kotayk regions. A total of 12 abandoned nests were found, 5 in Tavush, Syunik, Lori, Ararat, and Vayots Dzor regions in 2021 and 7 in Lori, Vayots Dzor, Aragatsotn, Ararat, Kotayk, and Gegharkunik regions in 2023. In most of the cases, no adults were observed flying at the breeding territories with Lori, and Aragatsotn regions, 3 sightings of adults flying near abandoned nests were recorded. One of these nests was later confirmed to have had an unsuccessful breeding attempt. In addition, to study local and migratory movements, natal philopatry, and to identify the main threats to the species along its flyways, particularly in Armenia, we have started tagging Egyptian Vultures with Aquila satellite GPS/GSM transmitters in 2021. Until now we have successfully tagged 5 fledglings in Lori, Kotayk, and Vayots Dzor regions. In 2021, 1 individual was tagged in Lori region and migrated to Ethiopia (unfortunately, the connection with it was lost due to roaming termination in Ethiopia). In 2022, 2 siblings were tagged in Kotayk region. One of them crossed the Red Sea to Ethiopia (the connection with it was lost), and the other stayed in Yemen and is still being tracked. In 2023, 2 fledglings were tagged in Kotayk and Vayots Dzor regions. 1 case of fratricide was recorded in the nest in Lori region. We plan to monitor Egyptian Vulture nests regularly over the coming years to estimate population dynamics, breeding success, and to identify the main threats to the species so that specific conservation measures can be taken. The study was conducted as part of the “Birds of Prey Research and Conservation in Armenia” project, implemented by the Branch of the German Nature Protection Union (NABU) in the Republic of Armenia (NABU).

Hate Speech and Church Slavonic Literature: Towards the History of the Editing of Liturgical Books in Russia (19th–20th centuries)

The article describes the history of eliminating words and expressions which are offensive to non-Christians from liturgical books. It shows that the reasons for such corrections were primarily diplomatic and political in nature. Thus, harsh characteristics of sultans and other political figures were removed from the liturgical books addressed to the Slavs living on the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The reason for such editing was the discontent of the Ottoman Empire authorities. Similarly, the displeasure of the representatives of the St. Petersburg Armenian community prompted a softening of the anti-Armenian passages. Words and expressions belonging to the language of enmity were eliminated from church books. Words with the жид- root were removed, disrespectful and offensive characteristics of non-Christians were tempered. Such editing could have taken place hand in hand with the appearance of new liturgical texts which contained very harsh descriptions of non-Christians. Thus, a service to Gabriel of Bialystok composed at the beginning of the 20th century does not feature vocabulary with the жид- (zhid-)root, but clearly contains the «blood libel» topic. The rejection of pejorative linguistic characteristics is therefore no indication of a change in attitude towards dissidents and non-Christians.

On the presence of Cephalanthera caucasica (Orchidaceae) in Russia: rediscovery of a threatened orchid in the Republic of Dagestan

Cephalanthera caucasica had been reported previously from the Samur Forest in Dagestan (Russia), but that report was considered doubtful: a possible misidentification of supposed hybrids between C. damasonium and C. longifolia as C. caucasica was speculated. Moreover, this species was recently reduced to a synonym of C. kotschyana in the «Plants of the World Online» database. In the present study, we did not confirm the presence of C. caucasica in the Samur Forest, but it was revealed in a few localities in remnants of beech (Fagus orientalis) forests in Kaytagskiy district and Tabasaranskiy district in the Republic of Dagestan, Russia. Living plants were studied in the vicinity of the village Tatil where 40 flowering individuals were counted. A morphological study suggested that these plants belonged to typical C. caucasica, not to any hybrid. The synonymy of this species with C. kotschyana has also been rejected, because it contradicted to the «International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants» and, besides, was not properly reasoned. The lectotype of C. caucasica is designated in the present paper. The description of the species is provided with measurements of the main morphological parameters. Differences of C. caucasica and the related taxa are discussed. A key to the species of the genus Cephalanthera from the North Caucasus is provided. Cephalanthera caucasica is highly threatened in Russia, being estimated as Endangered taxon (EN B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii)), according to the IUCN categories and criteria. It should be included to the next editions of both national and regional Red Data Books.

Middle Knowledge in the Middle of the 17th Century

The year 2021 saw the publication of Sven K. Knebel’s new book on Middle Knowledge. It is an exceedingly important research publication which deserves scholarly attention. The book contains a long introduction (consisting of various studies) and an edition of the fourth book of the Irish Jesuit theologian Luke Wadding’s incomplete work on scholastic theology. This present review article first recapitulates the origins and historical significance of the doctrine of Middle Knowledge. Then Knebel’s book as well as the career of Luke Wadding are introduced. I then discuss the place of Wadding’s work in the Jesuit discourse of ‘concordia’ and its relation to Molinism. In the subsequent sections, I investigate various doctrines defended by Wadding. These include his view of disjunctive necessity, his variant of the doctrine known as ‘connectionism’, and his use of various kinds of distinctions in theology. The study concludes with a critical assessment of Knebel’s publication. Despite all praise, I disagree with Knebel’s all too pessimistic view of the research landscape: We will soon be pondering over why Early Modern scholasticism has received so much attention in recent scholarship, rather than why it did not do so in the past.

Prostate Pathology: What is New in the 2022 WHO Classification of Urinary and Male Genital Tumors?

In 2022, after a six-year interval, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has published the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Urinary and Male Genital Tumors, which provides a comprehensive update on tumor classification of the genitourinary system. This review article focuses on prostate carcinoma and underscores changes in the prostate chapter as well as those made across the entire series of the 5th edition of WHO Blue Books. Although no major alterations were made to this chapter, some of the most notable updates include restructure of contents and introduction of a new format; standardization of mitotic counts, genomic nomenclatures, and units of length; refined definition for the terms "variant", "subtype", and "histologic pattern"; reclassification of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)-like adenocarcinoma as a subtype of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma; and recognition of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostatic carcinoma as a distinct tumor type. Evolving and unsettled issues related to grading of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate and reporting of tertiary Gleason pattern, the definition and prognostic significance of cribriform growth pattern, and molecular pathology of prostate cancer will also be covered in this review.

Book Collection of the Vilnius Academy of Medicine and Surgery in the Funds of the NBUV: History of formation and problems of storage

In the research, on the basis of archival sources and involved normative documents of the Institute of Manuscripts and Book Editions of Library Collections and Historical Collections of the National Library of Ukraine named after. V. I. Vernadskyi, a brief essay on the establishment of the Vilnius Academy of Medicine and Surgery, as well as the work of prominent founders of this institution. First of all, the article deals with the largest sections of the library, analyses the quantitative and thematic composition of its publications. With the help of sources and special literature, Vilnius University (Principal School of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) is characterized as the largest and most prestigious institution in Europe in the 18th — 19th centuries, where such personalities as Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki and Czeslaw Milosz studied. Information on the establishment of the first library of the educational institution is also given, its reformation and book exchange with other libraries are traced. The gradual process of formation of the library of the Vilnius Academy of Medicine and Surgery and its connection with the Imperial University of St. Vladimir. As a result of the scientific search and review of publications, parts of the book collections of representatives of the Belarusian-Lithuanian Sapieha family and the Polish scientist-encyclopedist Jan Sniadetski were found. The quantitative and thematic composition of each book collection is studied separately. After researching and analyzing the quantitative and thematic composition of books from the Vilnius Academy of Medicine and Surgery, one of the largest and most prestigious institutions in Europe in the 18th — 19th centuries, we can conclude that this collection preserves a large number of unique ancient publications of great importance for studying medical science. for modern scientists. The study also presents material on the establishment of the first library of the school, traced its reformation and book exchange with other libraries. The gradual process of formation of the library of the Vilnius Academy of Medicine and Surgery and its connection with the Imperial University of St. Vladimir.

Book Editions of the All-Russian Population Census of 1897 as the First Experience of Large-scale Publication of Data in State Statistics. Source Study by Means of Cultural Analytics

The problem of studying the polygraphic image of the census of 1897 with the help of visual computer analysis of bindings and covers of 144 editions of its materials is considered. The idea of the study is based on the image editing technique proposed by Lev Manovich. Four variants of the census publication were identified, two of them were analyzed in detail — a collection of tray copies and simple editions without bindings. It is these “people's” publications that clearly show the scale of publication of government statistics materials, which the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had to face for the first time. The conclusion is made about the possibility of using the Inkscape vector graphics editor in matters when it is necessary to study the general and special in the design of historical documents of a printing publication.

Book Sources of the Text of Ivan Bunin’s Early Works

This article presents the first attempt to shed light on an important source study issue: the degree of Ivan Bunin’s participation in the preparation of book editions of his early works of 1887–1902. In the light of the work on the first academic Complete Works and Letters of Ivan Bunin, it is necessary to investigate this problem in its own right in order to determine which editions are ‘authorial’ and thus can be considered sources for the textual work with the writer’s early works, and which editions are not. Drawing on all the known evidence (correspondence, publishing contracts and agreements, biographical data of the writer), we have examined in detail the history of the publication of several books by Bunin (poetry and prose collections). The degree of N. D. Teleshov’s participation in the preparation for the publication of two books by Bunin was estimated (proofreading and signing the book into print). Non-author’s book editions of Bunin’s works, to which the author had no relation whatsoever, have been identified (therefore, they cannot be sources for the scholarly (critical) publication of the writer’s works).

Видавнича серія «Бібліотека Лемківщини» Юліана Тарновича (1936–1939)

In 1934, in the publishing concern of I. Tyktor “Ukrainian Press”, the editorial board of the biweekly “Nash Lemko” was formed, the first editor of which was Yulian Tarnovych, who later founded the “Library of Lemkivshchyna” publishing seria, which published and distributed books on Lemki subjects, in which the overarching idea was the idea of historical and mental unity of the Lemki people with Ukrainians from other regions, and hence the popularization of the Lemko region and the centuries-old cultural heritage of its inhabitants as a component of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. In the article, for the first time, all editions of the book seria “Library of Lemkivshchyna” of the magazine “Nash Lemko” 1936–1939 edited by Yu. Tarnovych were investigated, and the exact authorship of individual numbers stored in the departments of Ukrainian studies and rare books of the Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv and in the Scientific Library of LNU named after I. Franko, the factual content and thematic palette of the book editions of the seria were analyzed, their relevance at the time and today was proven, reviews and reviews of the book products of the seria were introduced into scientific circulation. Among the analyzed publications are books by eight authors, cultural figures of the Lemko region (Yu. Tarnovych under his own name and pseudonym Vsevolod Yaroslavych, R. Antonovych, I. Shevchyk-Lukavychenko, F. Kokovsky, V. Klish, O. Mysevych, I. Bugera, V. Hylak under a pseudonym Yeronim Anonim). The analysis of the factual content and subject matter of the book editions of the entire seria showed that, promoting the idea of Ukrainian national unity, they contributed to the formation of the Lemks’ understanding of the uni­queness of their traditional material and spiritual culture, national identity, revitalization of the social life of the region, were an important factor in the pat­riotic education of young people, introduced wide circles of the Ukrainian public of Galicia to the life and spiritual heritage of the westernmost branch of the Ukrainian people. Today, they are a valuable source not only for studying the publishing culture of the past, but also for the history of the development of Ukrainian ethnic identity in the Lemko lands.

Educational Tips for Students and Physiology Instructors Regarding Reabsorption of Kidney’s Proximal Tubule and Autoregulation: Different Perspectives of Medical and Postgraduate Students

The authors opinions in physiology books are different on some issues, and this mixes up the readers. The purpose of this article is to clarify the differences between two examples in renal physiology (the autoregulation and the reabsorption of the materials in the proximal tubule) to help better understand; therefore, this paper is especially beneficial for medical students. The latest editions of several physiology books are used in this study including Brenner and Rector›s "The Kidney", Seldin and Giebisch’s "The Kidney Physiology and Pathophysiology", Koeppen Stanton›s "Renal Physiology", Vander’s "Renal Physiology", Boron’s "Medical Physiology", Ganong’s "Review of Medical Physiology", Rose’s "Clinical Physiology of Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders", "Renal Pathophysiology: the Essentials" by Rennke and Denker, "Color Atlas of Physiology", "Renal Physiology: a Clinical Approach", and "Medical Physiology" by Guyton. It is concluded that the two above-said methods, in general, adopt similar approaches. However, there are some differences in terms of details that are explained and clarified in this study.

문고본 표지 레이아웃 구성 요소의 적절성에 관한 연구

This study investigated the components of the layout to be considered in order to increase readers' attention and what visual perception principle correlated with the book cover, which has the limitation of a small and limited paper. In previous studies, the top four books with high consistency between book content and cover layout were selected among the 15 coverings of the library, and an experimental survey was conducted on 100 college students majoring in design. As a result of conducting a correlation analysis between attention, layout components, and response results to the visual perception principle, Typography and Image of the cover of the document were the most influential. In particular, the visual perception principle showed that the proximity of typography and the continuity of images were highly correlated. Second, the cover of the library of steady sellers showed remarkably low attention. Based on the results of the study, it could be estimated that applying the visual perception principle to strategic designs that can enhance the attention of typography and images in book edition design would be effective, and suggestions for attempts to increase the attention of book cover through new cover designs such as steady sellers' redesign.

Construction of a simulation model for calculating the labor intensity of the pre-print process of manufacturing books with audio accompanying

The object of research is preprint processes for the manufacture of audiobooks. The analytical and experimental studies reported here are based on the application of the methodology for devising a simulation model for calculating the complexity of preprint processes in the production of printed books with sound applications. The basic assumption of the study is that the use of simulation will contribute to the improvement of calculations of the complexity of preprint processes for making audiobooks. This cannot be achieved without analyzing the factors influencing the convenience of perception of textual and sound information and establishing the objective function of mutual influence of the text of the publication and audio. A methodology has been proposed for calculating the complexity of the preprint process of making audiobooks based on the developed algorithm of the technological process, mathematical representation of the structural model, as well as its components. It is shown that the process of creating audio accompaniment is affected by the content of printed pages, font design parameters, the selected format of page assembly, and the presence of illustrations. Based on the obtained expert assessments, a hierarchical representation of factors influencing the convenience of information perception is built; the interaction of parameters at different technological stages is described. The dependence of the complexity of the process of making audiobooks on the volume of the book edition in the accounting and publishing sheets, the size and capacity of the font, as well as the speed of sound recording of the printed text, has been established. It is determined that with an increase in font capacity within 200...1000 thousand characters, the calculated labor intensity increases by 5 % to 20 %. The largest limits of changes in the complexity of creating an audio accompaniment are 9 %, at the stage of processing graphic information – 50 %

Comments on the article “Set of additions and changes to Check-list of the flora for the Republic of Buryatia between 2001 to 2020” about the flora of the Baikalsky Reserve

This article analyzes the materials of the “Set of additions and changes to the check-list of the flora of the Republic of Buryatia from 2001 to 2020”. Corrections and comments are given on 50 species of higher vascular plants, both erroneously cited as novelties, and, on the contrary, absent from the original publication, regarding the territory of the Baikalsky State Nature Reserve and its buffer zone. Two taxa amongst omitted in the source material are included in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation (Aconitum paskoi subsp. arcto-alpinum and Asplenium sajanense), and 10 species are alien for the flora of Buryatia (Achillea ptarmica, Alchemilla baltica, Atriplex sagittata, Carthamus tinctorius, Centaurea phrygia, Convolvulus inflata, Epilobium tetragonum, Persicaria maculosa, Setaria pumila, Sorghum halepense). Several plant species actually were firstly recorded for Buryatia earlier than the period from 2001 to 2020 or have been already known for this territory much earlier; Rhynchospora alba is one of such species, and it is included in the all the editions of the Red Data Books of the Republic of Buryatia. In some cases of references to early indications and herbarium collections, modern ideas about the taxonomy of groups and ranges of species are considered for clarification.
