ПОЕТИЗМ ЯК ФЕНОМЕН ЧЕСЬКОГО ЛІТЕРАТУРНОГО АВАНГАРДУ 1920-Х РОКІВ

The article deals with poetism, a unique Czech avant-garde movement of the 1920s. The author outlines the origins of poetism, especially the history of the group Devětsil which formed the core of the movement, and describes the links between poetism and other avant-garde groups, such as cubism, Dadaism, constructivism, surrealism, proletarian literature etc. The paper also singles out the national sources and specific features of poetism (i.e. its synthetic nature, its particular role in the history of Czech literature, and a positive attitude towards empirical reality) and is concluded with short profiles of the movement’s principal writers (Vítězslav Nezval, Jaroslav Seifert, Konstantin Biebl, Vladislav Vančura).Стаття присвячена поетизмові – унікальній чеській авангардній течії 1920-х років. Розглянуто історію постання цієї течії та угруповання “Дев’єтсил”, яке було осередком поетистів. Проаналізовано зв’язки поетизму з іншими авангардними напрямками: кубізмом, дадаїзмом, конструктивізмом, сюрреалізмом, пролетарською літературою, а також національні джерела цієї авангардної течії. Виокремлено специфічні ознаки поетизму: здатність синтезувати різнітенденції мистецтва, особлива роль в історії чеської літератури, позитивне ставлення до світу.

Intraperitoneal drain placement and outcomes after elective colorectal surgery: international matched, prospective, cohort study

Despite current guidelines, intraperitoneal drain placement after elective colorectal surgery remains widespread. Drains were not associated with earlier detection of intraperitoneal collections, but were associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased risk of surgical-site infections.Background Many surgeons routinely place intraperitoneal drains after elective colorectal surgery. However, enhanced recovery after surgery guidelines recommend against their routine use owing to a lack of clear clinical benefit. This study aimed to describe international variation in intraperitoneal drain placement and the safety of this practice. Methods COMPASS (COMPlicAted intra-abdominal collectionS after colorectal Surgery) was a prospective, international, cohort study which enrolled consecutive adults undergoing elective colorectal surgery (February to March 2020). The primary outcome was the rate of intraperitoneal drain placement. Secondary outcomes included: rate and time to diagnosis of postoperative intraperitoneal collections; rate of surgical site infections (SSIs); time to discharge; and 30-day major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade at least III). After propensity score matching, multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to estimate the independent association of the secondary outcomes with drain placement. Results Overall, 1805 patients from 22 countries were included (798 women, 44.2 per cent; median age 67.0 years). The drain insertion rate was 51.9 per cent (937 patients). After matching, drains were not associated with reduced rates (odds ratio (OR) 1.33, 95 per cent c.i. 0.79 to 2.23; P = 0.287) or earlier detection (hazard ratio (HR) 0.87, 0.33 to 2.31; P = 0.780) of collections. Although not associated with worse major postoperative complications (OR 1.09, 0.68 to 1.75; P = 0.709), drains were associated with delayed hospital discharge (HR 0.58, 0.52 to 0.66; P < 0.001) and an increased risk of SSIs (OR 2.47, 1.50 to 4.05; P < 0.001). Conclusion Intraperitoneal drain placement after elective colorectal surgery is not associated with earlier detection of postoperative collections, but prolongs hospital stay and increases SSI risk

Effects of hospital facilities on patient outcomes after cancer surgery: an international, prospective, observational study

Background Early death after cancer surgery is higher in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) compared with in high-income countries, yet the impact of facility characteristics on early postoperative outcomes is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the association between hospital infrastructure, resource availability, and processes on early outcomes after cancer surgery worldwide.Methods A multimethods analysis was performed as part of the GlobalSurg 3 study-a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study of patients who had surgery for breast, colorectal, or gastric cancer. The primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and 30-day major complication rates. Potentially beneficial hospital facilities were identified by variable selection to select those associated with 30-day mortality. Adjusted outcomes were determined using generalised estimating equations to account for patient characteristics and country-income group, with population stratification by hospital.Findings Between April 1, 2018, and April 23, 2019, facility-level data were collected for 9685 patients across 238 hospitals in 66 countries (91 hospitals in 20 high-income countries; 57 hospitals in 19 upper-middle-income countries; and 90 hospitals in 27 low-income to lower-middle-income countries). The availability of five hospital facilities was inversely associated with mortality: ultrasound, CT scanner, critical care unit, opioid analgesia, and oncologist. After adjustment for case-mix and country income group, hospitals with three or fewer of these facilities (62 hospitals, 1294 patients) had higher mortality compared with those with four or five (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.85 [95% CI 2.58-5.75]; p<0.0001), with excess mortality predominantly explained by a limited capacity to rescue following the development of major complications (63.0% vs 82.7%; OR 0.35 [0.23-0.53]; p<0.0001). Across LMICs, improvements in hospital facilities would prevent one to three deaths for every 100 patients undergoing surgery for cancer.Interpretation Hospitals with higher levels of infrastructure and resources have better outcomes after cancer surgery, independent of country income. Without urgent strengthening of hospital infrastructure and resources, the reductions in cancer-associated mortality associated with improved access will not be realised

Лист у мережі інтернет як новий тип документа: морально-етичний та діловий аспект

Humanity has always been in the communicative process, which can be divided into global categories — verbal, non-verbal and virtual. Each of them has its own history and component.Correspondence can be considered as communication in the verbal-virtual space. This accessory is due to different means: the outer layout of the letter (images, framing, calligraphy and other aesthetic tools); culture of text presentation (linguistic literacy, observance of moral and ethical norms in the text); material on which the letters are written; its technical and other means by which transmission of letters is carried out.Letters’ texts practically do not differ from verbal communication. After all, letters have almost all the same features that are inherent to the culture of speaking. It is worth mentioning only the difference that is not «present» at the same time and culture of (or its lack) listening. The latter works when the letter is read. All this is typical as for traditional correspondence, and through various technical means on the Internet.Internet correspondence has the same qualities as traditional one with only the latest features: instead of paper — screen on which the page / file is formatted appropriately, its decoration with desirable font configurations, other internet-resources and personal ones possibilities. Everything else is technical-technological possibilities: sending, delivery, saving. Delivery is carried out around the clock in a few seconds to any corner of the planet where there is a network coverage.Efficiency, convenience and intensity of correspondence largely diverts to the background or at all alleviates the moral and ethical norms and traditions of communication, communication culture in general, distinguishing only the exchange of information in the form of letter or simply attached letter, a document that is already a norm for active Internet users.Internet correspondence is an integral part of business, private correspondence, and cultural competence in general, which today nearly completely replaced traditional correspondence.In the article the author makes a comparative characteristic between traditional (paper) correspondence and correspondence on the Internet. Describes established and distinctive components. However, it basically pays attention primarily to the moral and ethical component, and then to the business aspect of any correspondence, especially the influence of relationships in communication processes.Людство завжди було в комунікативному процесі, який можна розділити на глобальні категорії — вербальну, невербальну, віртуальну. Кожна із них має свою історію і складову.Листування можна розглядати як спілкування у вербально-віртуальному прос­торі. Ця приналежність обумовлена різними засобами: зовнішнє оформлення листа (малюнки, обрамлення, каліграфія та інші естетичні інструменти); культура подання тексту (мовна грамотність, дотримання морально-етичних норм у викладі тексту); матеріал, на якому написані листи; його технічні та інші засоби, за допомогою яких відбувається передавання листів.Тексти листів практично не відрізняються від вербального спілкування. Адже йому так само властиві практично всі ті ж особливості, які притаманні культурі говоріння. Лише варто відзначити ту різницю, що одномоментно не «присутня» й культура (чи її відсутність) слухання.Інтернет-листуванню притаманні ті ж властивості, що й традиційному, лише з новітніми особливостями: замість паперу — екран, на якому формується відповідного формату сторінка/файл, її оздоблення бажаною конфігураціє шрифта, іншими можливостями інтернет-ресурсів і особистих. Все інше — технічно-технологічні можливості: відправка, доставка, зберігання.Оперативність, зручність та інтенсивність листування у значній мірі відсторонює на другий план або й зовсім нівелює морально-етичні норми й традиції спілкування, культуру спілкування в цілому, виокремлюючи тільки обмін інформацією у вигляді листа чи просто прикріпленого листа, документа, що стає вже нормою для активних користувачів Інтернету.Інтернет-листування є невід’ємною складовою як ділового, приватного листування, так і культурної компетентності в цілому, яке на сьогодні майже повністю витіснило традиційне листування.У статті автор робить порівняльну характеристику між традиційним (паперовим) листуванням і листуванням у мережі Інтернет. Описує усталені й відмінні їх компоненти. Однак у своїй основі звертає увагу насамперед на морально-етичну складову, а потім уже й на діловий аспект будь-якого листування, особливо на вплив стосунків у комунікаційних процесах

Micropachyiulus caucasicus Vagalinski & Evsyukov & Chumachenko & Zabiyaka 2023, sp. nov.

Micropachyiulus caucasicus sp. nov. Figs 1D, E, 5–7 Material examined (ZMUM). Holotype: ♂, Russia, Krasnodar Province, Khosta, Caucasian Nature Reserve, Taxus & Buxus grove, soil (0–15 cm), 25.III.2016, Y. Chumachenko leg. Paratypes: 5 ♂♂ (two unbroken, three in 2 or more pieces; head, leg-pair 1 and gonopods of one prepared for SEM; head, gonopods and most of body of another prepared for SEM), 9 ♀♀ (7 unbroken, one in 3 pieces, another in 2 pieces, both with dissected vulvae), same collecting data as for holotype. Diagnosis. A species of Micropachyiulus with ommatidia. Most similar to Micropachyiulus filiformis sp. nov., both being characterized by a very long and thin solenomere of the opisthomere, without apical bulge or projection, a minute, spike-like outgrowth of the mesomeral process, and an opisthomeral posterior lamella expanding in a mesal ridge partly concealing the distal section of the sperm channel. Differs from M. filiformis sp. nov. by a bulging vs. flat anterior surface of the opisthomere, by the posterior lamella being smooth vs. overgrown with setiform filaments, by the promere gradually narrowing towards apex, vs. abruptly constricting in the middle, by the longer and more roughly serrated distal ridge of the latter, as well as by the shape of male legs 1: without tarsal remnants vs. the latter present as micropapillate bulges, and with slender vs. broad, flattened tibial outgrowths. Also resembles M. paucioculatus by the very long solenomere of the opisthomere, but differs clearly from it by the solenomere lacking an apical bulge or projection and by the minute, spike-like (vs. well-developed, slender) outgrowth of the mesomeral process. Etymology. After its provenance from the Caucasus region. Adjective. Description. Measurements: Holotype with BRF 40 + 1 + T, L = 7 mm, H = 0.55 mm; paratype ♂♂ with BRF 35–39 + 1–2 + T, L = 6–7 mm, H = 0.47–0.5 mm; paratype ♀♀ with BRF 33–42 + 1–3 + T, L = 5–9 mm, H = 0.5–0.52 mm.

Antennae (Fig. 5A) 1.5 times as long as head in males and 1.4 times in females; antennomere 5 ≥ 2> 4> 3> 6; 5 ca 1.5 times as long as broad and ca 1.6 times as broad as 2; size and distribution of sensilla as in M. paucioculatus. Mandibular stipites in males not expanded. Labrum tridentate. Gnathochilarium with 3 long distal setae on each stipes, proximal parts completely non-setose, stipital palps as in M. paucioculatus; promentum rather small, separating lamellae linguales in ca their proximal 1/3, the latter each bearing three more or less equally spaced setae in a row. Trunk and legs: Collum completely smooth. Body rings (Fig. 5C) insignificantly vaulted. Prozonae completely smooth, except for their anteriormost sections (normally covered by the preceding ring’s metazona) having finely reticulated texture. Metazonae shallowly and rather sparsely striated, striation becoming deeper and denser ventrally, dorsally and laterally not crossing entire length of metazona; metazonal setae rather short, mostly fallen off. Ozopores (oz in Fig. 5C) set tightly behind pro-metazonal suture in more anterior rings, and somewhat further back (up to 2 x their diameter) in more posterior rings. Walking legs relatively short: ML ca 0.7 times as long as H in males and 0.6 times in females. Tarsus of ML ca 1.5 times as long as tibia and ca 2.3 times as long as apical claw. Accessory claws absent from all legs in both sexes. Telson: Pre-anal ring sparsely but evenly covered with long setae. Epiproct relatively long (nearly reaching level of tip of longest paraproctal setae), straight to slightly bent ventrad, wedge-like, ending with a fine, sharply pointed hyaline tip (often broken off). Hypoproct of same shape as in M. paucioculatus; ventrally with two submarginal setae. Pilosity on paraprocts of moderate density, without distinct row of shorter setae along posterior margins. Male sexual characters: Legs 1 (Fig. 5D) 3-segmented hooks oriented (almost) completely mesad, and (sometimes) slightly anteriad; tibial outgrowth rather slender, tarsal remnant indistinct or absent; the distal podomere baso-mesally with a verrucose hump (h). Leg-pair 2 (Fig. 7A) considerably ticker and slightly longer than following legs. Ventral adhesive pads altogether absent. Flanges of pleurotergum 7 (Fig. 7C) ventrally forming rather narrow shovel-like lobes originating at the border zone between pro- and metazona, directed ventro-mesad. Gonopods (Figs 6, 7D) in situ mostly concealed in gonopodal sinus. Promere (Fig. 6B and P in Figs 6A, D, 7D) relatively slender, slightly overreaching opisthomere, gently sigmoid in anterior or posterior views, gradually narrowing towards a rounded apex directed somewhat mesad; mesal ridge (mr) well-developed, roughly pyramidal, with a pointed tip, mesally bearing several very short setiform filaments; lateral ridge (lr) short and rather weakly pronounced; distal ridge (dr) large and strongly pronounced, marginally densely denticulate; median groove indistinct. Opisthomere (Fig. 6C, E, and O in Figs 6A, D, 7D) stouter than in M. paucioculatus, very slightly sigmoid in lateral and mesal views, antero-basally somewhat bulging; mesomeral process (m) weakly pronounced, lamellar, completely undivided from the opisthomere, apically forming a minute spike-like outgrowth (mp) directed anteriad or baso-anteriad; posterior lamella (l) well-developed, expanding in a large mesal crest concealing distal section of sperm channel (sc); setiform filaments absent; solenomere (s) long and very fine, thread-like/flagelliform. Female sexual characters: Leg-pairs 1 (significantly) and 2 (slightly) ticker and somewhat shorter than following pairs. Vulva (Fig. 7E) stout, somewhat compressed on sides, roughly conical in side view; median field (mf) deeply concave, elongate, extending proximally to almost mid-height of bursa; operculum (op) higher than bursa, broad, with a concave apical margin, apical corners extended into hyaline protrusions, mesal one larger than lateral one; two smaller and tapering protrusions present apically on bursa; each bursal valve bearing two distal setae, operculum non-setose. RS composed of a narrow, somewhat folded central tube (ct) ending in an ovoid central ampulla (ca), and a posterior tube (pt) of similar length and gauge as the central tube, ending in a piriform posterior ampulla (pa) of similar size as the central one.
