Ревность, спор о социальном статусе, личная неприязнь между обеими героинями выливаются в жестокую ссору у ворот Вормского собора. В этой ключевой сцене одна героиня обвиняет другую в якобы имевшей место добрачной потере девственности и предъявляет сопернице пояс в качестве доказательства. Острый, напряженный конфликт характеров и воль, обрисованный в этой сцене, с давних пор интересовал деятелей искусства. Сцена «ссора королев» послужила сюжетом многочисленных художественных произведений. В настоящей статье рассматриваются особенности визуализации героинь, их тел, одежды, внешнего облика в произведениях литературы, изящного искусства и кинематографа. Статья насыщена иллюстрациями и образными примерами.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47290770","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}

Анализируя важность журнала, автор показывает, как, казалось бы, банальная идея журнала с фотографиями обнаженных красавиц превратилась в весьма успешный коммерческий и культурный проект, оказавший огромное влияние на американское общество, да и на многие страны мира. По сути, Playboy превратился в «мягкую силу» способную генерировать новые ценности и транслировать их не только в американское общество, но и в культурный ландшафт других стран. В качестве иллюстрации этого влияния были взяты международные франшизы журнала Playboy, выходящие в других странах. Для наглядности были выбраны две версии журнала: в Бразилии и на Филиппинах. Анализ контента этих франшизных версий показывает, что в них удивительным образом сочетались традиции, заложенные основателем «Плейбоя» Хью Хефнером, и национальные стереотипы. Вместе с тем, в этом симбиозе во многом превалировали именно американские паттерны. Особенно заметно это отразилось на выборе расового типа моделей, их цвета кожи и т.д.. Кроме этого, журнал привносил в эти страны и новые системы гендерных отношений. Все это стало возможным благодаря тому, что редакция журнала создала уникальный продукт, ставший одним из неотъемлемых символов ХХ в.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41648283","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}

Анализ социальных мутаций и культурных трансформаций визуализации и актуализации грузинского национального / этнического тела и телесности в дискурсе национализма является основой целью статьи. Методологически автор использует положения и идеи, предложенные в междисциплинарных исследованиях национализма. Национальное тело определяется и анализируется как одна из изобретенных традиций грузинского национализма в контекстах модернизации и трансформации интеллектуального дискурса от модерной культуры к массовой культуре общества потребления. Предполагается, что интеллектуалы использовали телесность для актуализации этнической и культурной грузинской идентичности, подчеркивая уникальность грузинской идентичности. Анализируются проблемы сочетания и сосуществования гражданского и этнического национализма в визуализации телесности. Автор изучает, как грузинское «тело» стало политическим фактором, формой визуализации этничности и принципов политического национализма, включая концепты гражданства и лояльности, а также нации как воображаемого политического сообщества граждан с устойчивыми этническими основаниями.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45838167","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}

Being married, having children, living with family and higher income were associated with better psychological outcomes. Perceived lack of personal protective equipment, inadequate support from hospital authorities, greater discrimination, and lack of training to cope with the situation predicted poor mental health outcomes, and non-frontline HCWs were more likely to hold such perceptions.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusion\u0000Addressing factors leading to negative psychological outcomes in HCWs should be a key concern during this pandemic.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39784644","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}

Residents often experience problems in their residential buildings every year, such as cracks in floors, walls, columns, and beams. Several methods can be used to improve expansive soil, including physical and mechanical stabilization. In this study, lime and cement were used as physical stabilizers. On the other hand, sand is used as a mechanical stabilizer. Physical and mechanical parameters will be observed in the stabilization process. Based on the three stabilizers, a 5% cement mixture can be the best alternative. Cement stabilizers can increase the maximum dry volume weight, reduce the rate of soil swelling, and change natural soils' classification from high plasticity clay to silty sand.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47679439","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}

Pekerjaan menggunakan aplikasi tersebut memakan lebih banyak waktu karena dari masing-masing aplikasi tersebut harus dikerjakan secara manual. Hal ini berbeda dengan BIM yang antar aplikasinya dapat terintegerasi satu sama lain, sehingga dapat mempercepat proses pekerjaan yang akan menyingkat waktu dan juga membuat sumber daya manusia menjadi lebih sedikit. Dalam penelitian ini akan dijelaskan apa saja perbedaan jelas proses perencaan konstruksi khususnya saat pembuatan metode kerja dan shopdrawing yang ditinjau dari segi biaya, mutu, waktu.

It has several entities, namely the idiopathic RPF (IRPF), secondary RPF and Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). The role of a gynaecologist in the management of retroperitoneal fibrosis is highlighted in this case of a parametrial tumour causing retroperitoneal fibrosis and hence leading to hydronephrosis and hydroureter as a consequence. A 49-year-old woman presenting with a symptom cluster suggestive of acute pyelonephritis was found to have reduced eGFR. Elevated levels of inflammatory markers indicated an inflammatory nature of the disease, in addition to a normochromic anaemia that could be due to chronic inflammation itself. CECT Neck, Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis revealed mild hydronephrosis with a distal narrowing and a retroperitoneal confluent mass. Investigations led to suspect an invasive left ovarian malignancy or an endometriotic nodule with ureteric compression, which was later thought to be unlikely with a normal CA-125 level. To obtain a better understanding, a cysto-ureteroscopy was performed where she was found to have an obstruction. Although stent placement is a reasonable temporary mode of symptom relief, this was proven unsuccessful. Surgical management was opted for considering the severity of her symptoms and the course of time it would take for medical management to take effect. In addition, laparoscopy would aid in the exclusion of other pelvic pathologies under direct vision and treat any if found concurrently. Consequently, a laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, left sided ureterolysis with careful resection of the densely adhered tumour surrounding the left cysto-ureteric junction was performed, followed by retrograde ureteric stenting. Histology revealed retro-peritoneal fibrosis, and further immunohistochemistry pointed towards a diagnosis of IgG4 related sclerosing disease. This was also supported by elevated levels of IgG, especially the IgG4 component. Disseminated RPF was subsequently excluded by CECT. Following surgery, she was started on high dose corticosteroids and the stent was left in place for six weeks. She is being kept on a maintenance dose of low dose corticosteroids without disease relapse. Regular follow-up with inflammatory markers, serum IgG4 levels and imaging demonstrate adequate response to corticosteroid therapy.","PeriodicalId":9777,"journal":{"name":"Ceylon Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39786217","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}
