В. Липинський про бюрократію ("Листи до братів-хліборобів"): до проблеми визначення теоретичного підґрунтя поглядів

Розглянуто формування поглядів В. Липинського на бюрократію під впливом ідей Ж. Сореля, Р. Міхельса, К. Маркса, А. де Токвіля. Стверджено, що основу його поглядів становлять ідеї про бюрократію, запозичені у Ж. Сореля та Р. Міхельса. Підкреслено, що під час розгляду проблеми бюрократії вітчизняний мислитель не звертався до ідей М. Вебера.Deals with the formation of attitudes of Viacheslav Lypynsky on bureaucracy under the influence of Georges Sorel, Robert Michels, Karl Marx, Alexis de Tocqueville. It is alleged that his views were based on ideas of the bureaucracy borrowed from Georges Sorel and Robert Michels. Emphasizing that, in considering the problem of bureaucracy Ukrainian thinker did not approach the ideas of Max Weber

Tumor-related neurocognitive dysfunction in patients with diffuse glioma: a systematic review of neurocognitive functioning prior to anti-tumor treatment.

Deficits in neurocognitive functioning (NCF) frequently occur in glioma patients. Both treatment and the tumor itself contribute to these deficits. Data about the role of the tumor are scarce, because NCF has mostly been studied postoperatively. We aimed to summarize data on pre-treatment NCF in glioma patients and to determine the overall and domain-specific prevalence of neurocognitive dysfunction. We searched PubMed and Embase according to PRISMA-P protocol for studies that evaluated pre-treatment NCF in glioma patients (1995-November 2016) and extracted information about NCF. We performed analysis of data for two main outcome measures; mean cognitive functioning of the study sample (at group level) and the percentage of impaired patients (at individual level). We included 23 studies. Most studies were small observational prospective cohort studies. In 11 (47.5%) studies, patient selection was based on tumor location. NCF was analyzed at the group level in 14 studies, of which 13 (92.9%) found decreased NCF at group level, compared to normative data or matched controls. The proportion of individuals with decreased NCF was reported in 15 studies. NCF was impaired (in any domain) in 62.6% of the individuals (median; interquartile range 31.0-79.0). Cognitive impairments were more common in patients with high-grade glioma than with low-grade glioma (OR 2.50; 95% CI 1.71-3.66). Cognitive impairment occurs in the majority of treatment-naive glioma patients, suggesting that neurocognitive dysfunction is related to the tumor. However, the literature about pre-treatment NCF in glioma patients is characterized by small-scale studies and strong heterogeneity in patient selection, resulting in high risk of bias

Memory for novel and familiar environments relies on the hippocampus : A case study on a patient with a right anteromesial temporal lobectomy

While the hippocampus has been ascribed a prominent role in navigation ability, it is still a subject of debate whether it contributes to learning novel environments only or to remembering familiar environments as well. We attempt to shed light on this issue by reporting on a patient who developed complaints of severe difficulties with navigation after she underwent a right anteromesial temporal lobectomy. A standard neuropsychological assessment revealed only a visuospatial working memory deficit. Clear evidence for problems with novel environments were found on a virtual route learning test. Two real-world tests were used to investigate her ability to recall familiar environments. The first test was based on the area she grew up in (and still visits regularly) and the second test concerned her current place of residence which she never visited prior to the surgery. While her landmark recognition in general was accurate, she showed notable difficulties with indicating their locations on a map and with giving accurate route descriptions between them for both real-world environments. This pattern of findings suggests that the hippocampus is not only important for navigation in novel environments, but also for familiar environments learned long ago

Dissociations between Spatial and Temporal Order Memory : A Neuropsychological Patient Study

OBJECTIVES: In complex real life situations, memories for temporal and spatial information are naturally linked since sequential events coincide in time and space. Whether this connection is inseparable or instead whether these processes are functionally dissociable was investigated in this patient study. METHODS: Spatial object-location and temporal order memory tasks were administered to 36 stroke patients and 44 healthy control participants. RESULTS: On group level, patients with a stroke in the left hemisphere performed worse on temporal order memory, compared to the control participants. On individual level, using a multiple case-study approach, a clear pattern of dissociations was found between memory for temporal and for spatial features. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that location and temporal order memory contain functionally separable processes. This adds to our understanding of how context information is processed in human memory. (JINS, 2017, 23, 421-430)

Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Relationship With Psychological Symptoms and Personality Characteristics

Background and Purpose-Many patients who survive an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage experience decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Physical factors have been identified as determinants of HRQoL. We describe long-term HRQoL and assessed whether psychological symptoms and personality characteristics determine HRQoL after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methods-In a cross-sectional study in 141 patients living independently in the community 2 to 4 years after subarachnoid hemorrhage, we assessed whether HRQoL, evaluated by the Stroke Specific Quality of Life scale, was related to psychological symptoms (mood disorders, fatigue, and cognitive complaints), personality characteristics (neuroticism and passive coping style), demographic characteristics, and subarachnoid hemorrhage disease characteristics. Results-Best Stroke Specific Quality of Life scale scores were found in the physical domain and worst in the emotional and social domains. Thirty-two percent reported anxiety, 23% depression, and 67% fatigue. Mood (beta between -0.42 and -0.18), fatigue (beta between -0.40 and -0.24), and cognitive complaints (beta between -0.46 and -0.16) were strongly associated with Stroke Specific Quality of Life scale scores in multivariate regression analyses. Conclusion-Depression, anxiety, and fatigue were present in a substantial proportion of patients and were strongly related to decreased HRQoL. These symptoms identified are helpful to tailor rehabilitation to the needs of patients in the chronic phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage. (Stroke. 2009;40:1526-1529.

Shared and distinct anatomical correlates of semantic and phonemic fluency revealed by lesion-symptom mapping in patients with ischemic stroke

Semantic and phonemic fluency tasks are frequently used to test executive functioning, speed and attention, and access to the mental lexicon. In semantic fluency tasks, subjects are required to generate words belonging to a category (e.g., animals) within a limited time window, whereas in phonemic fluency tasks subjects have to generate words starting with a given letter. Anatomical correlates of semantic and phonemic fluency are currently assumed to overlap in left frontal structures, reflecting shared executive processes, and to be distinct in left temporal and right frontal structures, reflecting involvement of distinct memory processes and search strategies. Definite evidence for this assumption is lacking. To further establish the anatomical correlates of semantic and phonemic fluency, we applied assumption-free voxel-based and region-of-interest-based lesion-symptom mapping in 93 patients with ischemic stroke. Fluency was assessed by asking patients to name animals (semantic), and words starting with the letter N and A (phonemic). Our findings indicate that anatomical correlates of semantic and phonemic fluency overlap in the left inferior frontal gyrus and insula, reflecting shared underlying cognitive processes. Phonemic fluency additionally draws on the left rolandic operculum, which might reflect a search through phonological memory, and the middle frontal gyrus. Semantic fluency additionally draws on left medial temporal regions, probably reflecting a search through semantic memory, and the right inferior frontal gyrus, which might reflect the application of a visuospatial mental imagery strategy in semantic fluency. These findings establish shared and distinct anatomical correlates of semantic and phonemic fluency
