The Ethnomental Components of F.M. Dostoevsky’s Works

Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to identify the originality and ideological functional status of the ethnomental component in the works of F. Dostoevsky. Methods: The work integrates a complex of modern approaches and methods, mainly focusing on the ideas and principles of the traditional, cultural and historical method, which demonstrates the general cultural, sociological, and psychological aspects of the study of Dostoevsky’s literary heritage. The typological method has contributed to the literary clarification of the ethnomental components in fiction and journalism of the writer. The narratological approach is used to analyze the narrative structure of Dostoevsky’s works, the correlation of the writer’s and other people’s speech, to identify various points of views on the problem, and to establish the ambiguity of the writer’s position. The contextual analysis allowed analyzing the images of characters, first, within the local context and, second, within the macrocontext, which includes other literary sources, appropriate comparisons and build a verification model of the study. Main results: The analysis of the writer’s life, his philosophy of life, sacrifices, social ambivalence, predisposition to reflection, etc. suggests the presence of certain mental foundations. The main ideas, attitudes, spiritual discoveries of the artistic worlds created by the writer are determined by the ethnomental basis of his worldview. This makes it possible to determine and understand the originality and uniqueness of Dostoevsky in the context of Russian literature. Application of the study: The conclusions of the study can serve as the basis for an accurate idea of the correlation of the writer’s worldview and his work. The materials and conclusions of the study can be used in university courses on the history of Russian literature, in special courses and special seminars on the works of Dostoevsky, for term papers, graduation papers, and dissertations. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the ethnic component in the ideological and artistic system of Dostoevsky who was a Pochvennik writer (i. e. belonged to the Pochvennichestvo movement) was first considered in the context and through the prism of both the life experience of the writer himself and the general anthropological orientation of the writer as well as his understanding of human nature. This study provides not only the opportunity to analyze the ethnic identity of Russian literature but also to trace the influence of the ethnic mentality of Dostoevsky on his worldview embodied in his fiction.
DETERMINANTS OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CREATION IN RETAIL INDUSTRY

Retailing is one of the channel structure which has distributed goods and services to the consumers all over the world. In the past few years, Malaysian retailing maintained a positive performance despite softening economic conditions. This scenario has reduced spending confidence among lower-income consumers, higher-income consumers seemed to be unaffected as many to continue to indulge in luxury purchases. Moreover, major retailers have sped up the expansion of new outlets and act aggressively in their marketing strategies to ensure they can stimulate demand and encourage people to spend. However, during the year 2016, modern retailers saw more intense competition and faced huge declines in their performance. According to Retail Group Malaysia, they have downgraded Malaysia’s 2016 retail sales growth to 3% from 3.5%, after third quarters on year 1.9% sales rise came in below market forecast. The report also stated that, year 2017 will be a challenging year for the country’s retailers, as consumers contended with costlier goods and services amid a weaker ringgit. Therefore, customer experience will play an importance role in this situation whereby it will provide a great experience to the consumers while they are shopping in the retail store. Thus, the purpose of this research is to examine the drivers (service interface, retail atmosphere, assortments) which influence customer experience creation in retail industry in Malaysia. Due to this, retailers in Malaysia need to ensure they can provide a great experience to the consumers rather than focus on their marketing strategies because with a great experience consumer gain from retailers, then it will contribute huge numbers in their sales performance as before.
Point of View Research Accounting and Auditing

The aim of this study is to analyze and examine the effect of the planned behavior theory consisting of variables of (attitude, subjective standards, behavior control) and tax knowledge on taxpayer intention compliance as a mediating variable. To explain the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, this study is a type of quantitative research with a correlational model. An individual taxpayer is the study object. There are 100 taxpayers who are calculated using the Slovin method for the number of samples. The data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed to respondents in this study. The findings showed that attitudes, subjective standards, behavioral control, and tax knowledge directly had a positive and significant impact on taxpayer compliance. The intention directly impacts taxpayer compliance positively and significantly. Attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and tax understanding have a positive and important impact on taxpayer compliance through intentional control.
The invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a less suitable host for parasitism than resident species

V. Romero, T. Zaviezo, and A.A. Grez. 2020. The invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a less suitable host for parasitism than resident species. Int. J. Agric. Nat. Resour. 312-323. Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) has invaded most continents in the world, including South America. In Chile, it became invasive after 2010, turning into a dominant species in coccinellid guilds in alfalfa crops, where it coexists with the introduced species Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) and the native species Eriopis chilensis Hofmann, the populations of which declined after the invasion of H. axyridis. One of the mechanisms attributed to the success of invasive species is the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), which predicts that natural enemies will have a lesser impact on the invasive species in the newly invaded areas than on resident species. Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a cosmopolitan parasitoid of coccinellids, which vary in their suitability to parasitism according to species and location. The present study evaluated whether H. axyridis is a less suitable host than H. variegata and E. chilensis for D. coccinellae by assessing each step in the parasitism process, from oviposition to adult emergence in field and laboratory conditions. In the field, successful parasitism in H. axyridis (7%) was significantly lower than in H. variegata (33%) and E. chilensis (36%). H. axyridis was also the only species in which failed parasitoid larval development was greater than successful parasitism (adult emergence). In the laboratory, D. coccinellae never successfully oviposited in H. axyridis, while it did in the other two species. These results suggest that in Chile, H. axyridis is a less suitable host than the resident species for D. coccinellae. This mechanism, among others, may explain the dominance of this species in this early stage of invasion.
Influence of Succession Planning Practices on Performance of Local Non-governmental Organizations in Kenya

Succession planning in the recent past has received more attention not only as a concern for the management of human resources, but also as institutional strategic management component for ensuring performance and growth. The purpose of this study therefore was to establish the succession planning practices on performance of non-governmental organizations in Kenya. The study was motivated by recent collapse in non-governmental organizations in Kenya owing to leadership wrangles after the exit of key officials. A correlational research design was adopted for the study. The data was obtained from the council of NGOs in Kenya. The target population consisted of ten local non-governmental organizations located within Nairobi County. The unit of analysis was the employees working with these Non-governmental organizations. A sample of employees was drawn from the population. The study used purposive and stratified sampling to sample ten non-governmental organizations from which simple random sampling was used to get the sample size. The main instrument for collecting primary data was a questionnaire. Each participating organization filled 10 questionnaires. The statistical analysis included; descriptive statistics and inferential statistics to determine the strength of a relationship between variables to establish the strength of association between dependent and independent variables.
Futurology of Multi-Criteria Decision Making Techniques Using Philosophical Assumptions of Paradigms in Scenario Writing

There are many opportunities and threats in the decision-making environment for managers, and an organization must use research and information systems to change, monitor, and anticipate this environment. Futurism reflects how tomorrow reality gives birth to tomorrow's reality is. The purpose of this research; Analyzing the role of futures studies in the existing patterns of critical factors of multi-criteria decision-making techniques in operations research using the philosophical assumptions of the classical and critical paradigms and finally determining the appropriate strategy based on these components, to increase success and life expectancy. The present study intends to formulate exploratory scenarios of this knowledge by using the critical uncertainty approach. To develop credible scenarios of knowledge of decision techniques, the opinions of 15 experts in this field were collected using the fuzzy Delphi approach and through the critical uncertainty questionnaire. After extracting the most important uncertainties, plausible scenarios of decision-making techniques were determined with the help of experts. According to the results obtained from the opinion of experts from the critical uncertainty questionnaire, four research uncertainties were identified, identified and the scenario design criteria were used. Each of the four cases, which includes low attention to social issues versus high attention to social issues, low attention to ethical models versus high attention to ethical models, low attention to soft approaches versus high attention to soft approaches, Low attention to complex issues versus high attention to complex issues indicates a specific dual situation in the future. Each of these dual situations indicates uncertainty about the future of multi-criteria decision making. Based on these uncertainties, three scenarios were identified. These scenarios include Achilles heel, phoenix, and heel. Also, semi-structured interviews with the theme analysis approach were used, and the philosophy of past and future approaches in this field was reviewed and critiqued.
Larger offspring associated with lower temperatures across species of Microporella, a widespread colonial invertebrate

Among life history traits, offspring size has one of the most direct impacts on fitness, influencing growth, recruitment and survival of the individual, therefore affecting population, and ultimately macroevolutionary outcomes. Despite its ecological and evolutionary importance, little is known about how offspring size varies in lineages over macroevolutionary timescales, especially for colonial organisms. Here, we use the cheilostome bryozoan genus Microporella to investigate variation in offspring size over the history of the lineage. The genus Micro porella is species-rich, cosmopolitan, has a calcified skeleton (and is hence readily preserved in the fossil record), and is a brooder. The brood structure (ovicell) reliably re flects the space occupied by a larva and hence ovicell size is a good proxy for offspring size. Using a suite of biotic and abiotic factors, we ask what best explains offspring/larval size variation in contemporary and fossil species of Microporella, and how offspring/larval size changes through the millions of years of the history of the lineage. We find that offspring size is affected by a combination of module size and water temperature (or latitude when fossil species are included), while fecundity and levels of nutrients have a weak to no effect on this life history trait. Among Microporella species, descendant species are statistically more likely to have larger offspring than their putative ancestors, with the size difference between species pairs little explained by temporal latitudinal shifts. Our results suggest that both contemporary ecological controls and historical considerations are important in understanding life history trait evolution.
Effectiveness of an Open Access Scheduling System in a Community Mental Health Center

Open Access Schedule (OAS) systems are a new way to schedule patient appointment in an outpatient medical setting. In theory these systems will provide many benefits that are not seen in a traditional scheduling model, such as decreased wait times to see a provider and more provider flexibility. However, little research has been done to examine how effective these systems are once they are put into practice, particularly in the mental health setting. The purpose of this project was to examine a recently implemented open access scheduling system in a community mental health center in rural Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. A retrospective analysis was done of no-show and cancellation rates in the clinics, as well as provider productivity for the company. There also was an online survey completed by providers at the community mental health center to examine their perception of the OAS system. The results showed that there was some decrease in the no-show and cancellation rates in the clinics, and there was more consistent improvement in the cancellation rates. Provider productivity did somewhat improve, but there was not enough information to see if this change would be something sustained long term. And finally the provider perception of the OAS system was overall negative in regards to how the providers felt the OAS system affected their job, but there was one positive aspect of the system, that providers could request time off work with shorter notice. The limitations of the study were due to the fact that the time frame of study was short and the data was not statistically analyzed to control for outside factors, such as provider turnover. Overall, this study will add to the limited body of knowledge on the use of OAS systems in practice and provide information about their use in community mental health clinics.

Framework-based Arithmetic Datapath Generation to Explore Parallel Binary Multipliers

Arithmetic modules usually have a significant impact on performance, circuit area, energy, and power in digital circuits of DSP (Digital Signal Processing). Exploring implementation trade-offs in these circuits is of utmost importance in low-power and low-cost devices such as sensors in IoT devices which often have stringent requirements. Multipliers are of particular concern due to their ubiquitous use in DSP algorithms and their inherent implementation complexity. This work proposes a framework to efficiently generalize and explore different compositions of arithmetic operators with an emphasis on parallel binary multipliers, guiding the designer through the micro-architecture development. Several partial product encoders were combined with multiple compression trees to generate multipliers that were synthesized in a commercial 65 nm to obtain area, power, and timing results.
Parametric optimization of steel structures based on gradient projection method

The main research goal is the development of a numerical methodology for solving parametric optimization problems of steel structures with orientation on software implementation in a computer-aided design system. The paper has proposed a new mathematical model for parametric optimization problems of steel structures. The design variable vector includes geometrical parameters of the structure (node coordinates), cross-sectional dimensions of the structural members, as well as initial pre-stressing forces introduced into the specified redundant members of the structure. The system of constraints covers load-carrying capacities constraints formulated for all design sections of structural members of the steel structure subjected to all ultimate load case combinations. The displacements constraints formulated for the specified nodes of the steel structure subjected to all serviceability load case combinations have been also included into the system of constraints. The method of the objective function gradient projection onto the active constraints surface with simultaneous correction of the constraints violations has been used for solving the parametric optimization problem. A numerical algorithm for solving the formulated parametric optimization problems of steel structures has been developed in the paper. The comparison of the optimization results of truss structures presented by the paper confirms the validity of the optimum solutions obtained using the proposed numerical methodology.
The Use of Herbal Medicines by Cancer Patients in Contemporary African Settings: A Scoping Review

BACKGROUND: Patients in Africa frequently utilize medicinal herbs at large. Nonetheless, to date, there is a lack of data on concurrent use of herbs with conventional cancer therapies. This scoping review aimed to describe the use of medicinal herbs and their derived products by cancer patients in contemporary African settings. METHODS: We identified relevant articles to date using a manual library search (PubMed), Embase Medline, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) for articles with information on medicinal plants with potential anti-cancer therapeutic properties in Central, Eastern, and Western Africa. We assessed 122 articles based on titles and abstracts, and 28 articles based on full text. Fourteen research articles fulfilled preset eligibility criteria. RESULTS: The median prevalence of herbal and complementary medicine (H&CM) use in our contemporary Africa settings was 60.0% (range: 13–80%). Median percent disclosure of H&CM use to attending healthcare professionals was low at 26% (range: 10.3– 78.8%). H&CM used by cancer patients included herbs, healing prayers, and massage. Reported reasons for the use of H&CMs include i) the strong desire to get rid of cancer symptoms, especially pain, and the need to improve physical and psychological well-being. There were limited data on safety and risk profiles of H&CM among cancer patients in our African settings. CONCLUSION: Herbal and complementary medicines are frequently in use among cancer patients undergoing conventional cancer treatments. Healthcare professionals caring for cancer patients ought to inquire and communicate effectively regarding the use of H&CM to minimize the risks of side effects from concurrent use of H&CM and biomedicines. H&CMs could give enormous opportunities for cancer and noncommunicable disease therapies, especially now that Africa's cancer burden is overwhelming. From the preceding, therefore, the benefit of H&CM is fundamental in the preservation of threatens species and traditional knowledge. Consequently, a balanced approach and a mutually beneficial partnership between traditional medicine and Bio-medicine must be found by local and global health politics.
The tourist experience in the digital era: the case of Italian millennials

Purpose of the paper: The digital revolution is producing several economic and societal changes. The tourism sector, which is characterized by products with high information content and intangible value, is one of the main industries involved in these changes on both the supply side and the demand side. This paper examines how digital technologies impact tourists’ consumption experiences throughout the entire customer travel journey (planning, booking, experiencing, and sharing), with a special focus on millennials. Methodology: On an empirical level, this research study aimed to describe the tourism-related buying and consumption behaviors of a sample of approximately 700 Italian consumers. Results: The results of this empirical study highlighted that new technologies are used in all stages of the digital customer journey. Most of the respondents were experts in travel planning through digital technologies. The smartphone is mainly used by younger millennials, while the computer is mainly used by older millennials. With respect to social media, millennials prefer Instagram and Facebook for sharing content during and after trips. Research limitations: This research study focused on the center of Italy, and the sample was not representative. Another limitation of this study was that the sample was made up of students, who do not have secure jobs and mainly depend on their parents’ incomes. Practical implications: The practical implications that emerged from this study specifically related to attracting and retaining tourists and increasing their overall customer experience. Originality of the paper: This study contributes to deepen the knowledge of millennials’ behaviors as tourists.
Psychosocial Interventions to Improve Psychological Distress of Informal Caregivers of Cancer Patients: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of psychosocial interventions designed to improve the psychological distress of informal caregivers of cancer patients compared with usual care. Methods: Nine relevant databases were searched from inception to November 2020. We included randomized controlled trials focused on comparing psychosocial interventions delivered to informal cancer caregivers with usual care. Study quality was evaluated with the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool, and meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager statistical software. Results: Fifteen studies involving 1006 participants met the inclusion criteria, and several kinds of psychosocial interventions were applied to either cancer caregivers or patient-caregiver dyads. Compared to usual care, psychosocial interventions manifested positive, significant results in depression (SMD=-0.47, 95%CI -0.71 to -0.24, P<0.001) and anxiety (SMD=-0.50, 95%CI -0.91 to -0.09, P=0.02). And the psychosocial interventions have no significant effect on general psychological distress (SMD=-0.25, 95%CI -0.54 to 0.05, P=0.10) and subjective burden (SMD=-0.06, 95%CI -0.26 to 0.14, P=0.55) of cancer caregivers. Conclusion: Psychosocial interventions designed for cancer caregivers can effectively reduce depression and anxiety, while no significant results were found in general distress and subjective burden of cancer caregivers. More studies with stronger methodological designs and larger samples are still needed in the future.
