Olga M. Davidson focuses on epic, especially the classical epic Shahnama, composed in the early eleventh century ce by the poet Ferdowsi, and on the relationship of this epic to other genres that are found embedded in it. Included among these other genres are forms of verbal art that were originally composed without the aid of writing, such as women's laments. Davidson explores the many ways in which the epic Shahnama incorporates oral poetic traditions in general. Surveying the current state of the art in oral poetic studies, she concentrates on applications of these studies to classical Persian prose as well as poetry. Of special interest is her critical analysis of both modern and ancient claims about the turning of prose into poetry. This second edition of the book contains an added chapter about "live" performances of the epic Shahnama.

Развитие технологии интерфейса мозг-компьютер-экзоскелет кисти (ИМКЭ) качественно улучшило реабилитацию в этом направлении. Целью данного исследования было изучить факторы, влияющие на двигательное восстановление верхней конечности у пациентов после инсульта на фоне применения технологии ИМКЭ. Исследовали 24 пациента (14 мужчин, 10 женщин) в возрасте от 51 до 62 лет с единичным очагом инсультной этиологии, супратенториальной локализации. В 11 (45,6%) случаях левополушарное поражение, в 13 (54,4%) случаях-правополушарное. Давность инсульта-4,0 (3,0; 12,0) месяца. Медиана МоСА-25,0 (23,0; 27,0). Курс занятий ИМКЭ включал 9,5 (8,0; 10,0) процедур. Выявлена значимая умеренная корреляция между успешностью моторного представления (MIQ-RS) и эффективностью взаимодействия пациентов с ИМКЭ кисти. Пациенты с высокими показателями MIQ-RS 47,5 (32,0; 54,0) достоверно лучше взаимодействовали с ИМКЭ 63,0 (54,0; 67,0), R = 0,67 (p < 0,05). У пациентов с высокими показателями MIQ-RS динамика двигательного восстановления была более выраженной: медиана ΔFugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) составила 14 (8,0; 16,0) баллов против группы пациентов с низкими показателями MIQ-RS, ΔFMA-10 (6,0; 13,0), но при этом не достигла статистически значимого уровня. Таким образом, выявлена взаимосвязь между способностью пациентов к моторному представлению (MIQ-RS) и эффективностью взаимодействия пациентов с ИМКЭ. Для выявления влияния этих факторов на динамику двигательного восстановления руки, вероятно, требуется продолжить исследование с большей выборкой.
