In all cases, a slight microanisometropia was observed along the cylindrical component ofthe squinting eye.Conclusion:Our three examples show how a slight degree of ametropia can cause a deviation of the eyeball. Therefore, case-by-case analysis can be more informative than large statistical studies. Thus, it is appropriate to evaluate eachcase from these new perspectives. The timely elimination of a small degree of anisometropia in the astigmatic or spherical components can lead to the restoration of the symmetrical position of the eyes","PeriodicalId":439540,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Number 1","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124256958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison is made between changes in the vitreous body with age and the aging of somatic cells. Methods: A review of the literature and hypotheses. Results(Hypothesis): With age, the amount of hyaluronic acid and microfibrils decreases and the volume of “empty space” increases, leading to the collapse of the vitreous body and a complete detachment. Let us imagine the vitreous body as a giant cell with a central nucleus. The cytoskeleton permeates the entire cell. The cytoskeleton provides a structural framework for the cell, serving as a framework that determines cell shape and the general organization of the cytoplasm. Importantly, the cytoskeleton is much less rigid and permanent than its name implies. We see the same thing in the microfibrils of the vitreous body.Conclusion:With age, the density of the fibrillarstructure of the vitreous body decreases. This structure is apparently, is an evolutionary intracellular formation that formed as a result of the apoptosis of the mesenchymal cells that form the primary vitreous body. An analogy is drawn between the loss of the density of fibrils of the vitreous body and the density of the cytoskeleton of asomatic cell. The loss of the cytoskeleton of a cell is a fatal process that cannot be stopped. The cytoskeleton cannot hold the nucleus in the center of the cell, whichis why the nucleiof theoldercells are not in the center, but are shifted to the periphery.","PeriodicalId":439540,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Number 1","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129857516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay looks at examples of food and agriculture related propaganda issued by the North Korean government within the context of its statements on gender and the circumstances arising from the food shortages of the past two decades. I argue that the regime’s manipulation of signs reveals deeply patriarchal attitudes that have legitimized the domination of women and land in addition to facilitating a denial of internal conflict and disorder. A s a subject of documentary and journalistic coverage, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is often portrayed as a country beyond rationalization, of energies squanderedon spectacle while the majority of its citizens lead lives of hidden hardship. Images disseminated by the North Korean regime of Pyongyang’s towering monuments or highly choreographed mass games are interpreted in the West with the implicit understanding that they are merely a cover for the consequences that decades of reckless totalitarian governance and extreme cultural, political, and economic isolation have wrought on the country. As amusing as these representations may seem to us for their inability to comprehend their own irony, it is also necessary to remember that propaganda is not merely a defense mechanism or a means of deflecting scrutiny. It also gives legible form to abstract political ideology and sets utopian imperatives for a targeted citizenry. Propaganda in the DPRK may not reflect the living conditions of most North Koreans, but it does create a space in which to conceive of the nation beyond the actualities of everyday life, giving ideological justification to unacknowledged problems such as hunger and impoverishment. 1 It has been argued that the North Korean regime, founded by Kim Il-sung and continued by his hereditary successors Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un, has managed to hold on to its leadership precisely because of its success in implementing mechanisms of control over both its own citizens and in the nation’s representation abroad: “restrictive social policies; manipulation of ideas and information; use of force; co-optation; manipulation of foreign governments; and institutional coup-proofing” (Byman and Lind 45). These strategies have helped to sustain the Kims’ continued rule despite the humanitarian crises that have afflicted the nation and raised the threat of collapse or revolt. The DPRK’s ongoing food shortages and problems of chronic malnutrition have presented an internal challenge to national security, with the devastating famine of the mid-1990s representing the apex of this turmoil. The North Korean government has generally responded to and discussed the food problem by downplaying its severity through euphemism, referring to t","PeriodicalId":439540,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Number 1","volume":"111 3S 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127284963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
