The reception of H.C. Andersen in Russia

The article deals with some aspects of Hans Christian Andersen’s reception in Russia and primarily with translation of his fairy tales. Anna and Peter Hansen’s translations made in the end of the 19th century are still the ones mostly published. The reception of Н.С. Andersen’s fairy tales has been changing depending on the epoch and its demands, but we argue that there is kind of an “invariant core” in different versions of translations. We present both extra-linguistic and linguistic approaches to reception and analyze Hans Christian Andersen translations in Russia in the context of literary reception and on the ground of documents dating back to the Soviet epoch, critical articles about the children’s literature in the Soviet Union as well as on the ground of the comparative analysis of translations of his fairy tales published after the revolution of 1917. We argue that the issue of changes in H.C. Andersen’s texts in the Soviet Union is closely related to the history of self-censorship. The paper also investigates specific features of translation, which are essential elements in a text reception, as well as peculiarities of different translation methods used by Anna Hansen and modern translators

Compounding in Danish

Compounding is a major word formation process in Danish. Approaches currently important for examining Danish compounds are outlined, mostly based on two-constituent N+N compounds. We argue that compounding has both specific and universal features in different languages. Different types of compounds in Danish are discussed with focus on elliptical compounds, without direct semantic relations between the components. This comprehensive approach has proved useful as compounds in Danish differ considerably in semantic relations between the components. The experiment shows that for some groups of “popular” words, analogy plays a great role in the creation and interpretation of novel compounds

It Won\u27t Happen To Me! : Self-Disclosure in Online Social Networks

Despite the considerable amount of self-disclosure in Online Social Networks (OSN), the motivation behind this phenomenon is still little understood. Building on the Privacy Calculus theory, this study fills this gap by taking a closer look at the factors behind individual self-disclosure decisions. In a Structural Equation Model with 237 subjects we find Perceived Enjoyment and Privacy Concerns to be significant determinants of information revelation. We confirm that the privacy concerns of OSN users are primarily determined by the perceived likelihood of a privacy violation and much less by the expected damage. These insights provide a solid basis for OSN providers and policy-makers in their effort to ensure healthy disclosure levels that are based on objective rationale rather than subjective misconceptions

Leveraging Trust and Privacy Concerns in Online Social Networks: an Empirical Study

Unprecedented success of Online Social Networks, such as Facebook, has been recently overshadowed by the privacy risks they imply. Weary of privacy concerns and unable to construct their identity in the desired way, users may restrict or even terminate their platform activities. Even though this means a considerable business risk for these platforms, so far there have been no studies on how to enable social network providers to address these problems. This study fills this gap by adopting a fairness perspective to analyze related measures at the disposal of the provider. In a Structural Equation Model with 237 subjects we find that ensuring interactional and procedural justice are two important strategies to support user participation on the platform

Prune belly syndrome: A mini-review and case report

Prune belly syndrome is a multisystem disease that is clinically manifested by a combination of hypoplasia of the abdominal muscles, bilateral cryptorchidism, and congenital anomalies of the urinary system of varying severity. The prognosis for patients with Prune belly syndrome is mainly determined by the extent of renal parenchyma dysplasia. An interdisciplinary approach involving urologists, nephrologists, surgeons, endocrinologists and other specialists allows us to improve urodynamics, to achieve stable remission of chronic obstructive pyelonephritis to perform kidney transplantation in childhood with a good result. The article provides a mini-review of the current state of the art in etiopathogenesis, classification, diagnosis and criteria for differentiating patients according to the severity of manifestations. A clinical report of a patient with Prune belly syndrome, which was diagnosed at the age of 7 months. Who developed bilateral refluxing ureterohydronephrosis on the background of severe dysplasia of the renal parenchyma. Staged surgical correction of bilateral refluxing ureterohydronephrosis and orchiopexy at the age of 1 to 3 years was carried out. However, the loss of kidney function caused transplantation at the age of 11 years. The follow-up of this patient to the age of 15 years was presented and an evaluation of the results was discussed

Pathophysiological mechanisms of renal damage in obstructive uropathies as potential therapeutic targets: A literature review

Obstructive uropathies are a group of conditions characterized by urinary tract blockages, leading to impaired urine flow and renal damage. This comprehensive literature review aims to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying renal damage in obstructive uropathies and identify potential therapeutic targets for intervention. The review synthesizes current knowledge from a wide range of studies and provides an overview of the complex cellular and molecular processes involved in renal damage progression, including hemodynamic alterations, oxidative stress, interstitial inflammation, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Key players in the pathogenesis of renal damage, such as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, reactive oxygen species, immune cells, and fibrogenic factors, are discussed in detail. Furthermore, potential therapeutic targets, including renin-angiotensin inhibitors, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and antifibrotic strategies, are identified based on preclinical and experimental studies. Additionally, emerging therapeutic modalities like mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs are explored for their potential in attenuating renal damage and promoting tissue repair. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms and identifying potential therapeutic targets is crucial for the development of effective interventions to mitigate renal damage in obstructive uropathies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Further research and clinical trials are needed to translate these promising findings into clinical practice and address the unmet therapeutic needs in this patient populatio
