SOMATIC CULTURAL CODE AND ITS ROLE IN THE CHINESE LINGUISTIC WORLDVIEW (BASED ON THE CONCEPTS OF “FACE” AND “HEART”)
Authors: Daulet Fatimabibi , Zeinolla Saule , Omarova Madina , Smagulova Kulshat , Orazakynkyzy Farida , Anuar Saule
Published: September 2019

Purpose of the study: The study aims to describe the notion of somatic cultural code. The research pursues several objectives, such as: to describe the concepts of the linguistic worldview, the image of the world, the cultural code; to identify and systematize the somatic code of the Chinese language; to describe the lingua cognitive and linguacultural properties of the selected somatic concepts; to study the role of somatic components in lexical units; to investigate and describe the denotative meaning, functional-stylistic and emotional-expressive connotations.

Methodology: The author employs the descriptive-representative method to isolate and describe the key Chinese cultural somas. Besides, the conceptual analysis method was used to determine the frequency of somatic metonymy and its influence on linguistic worldview. The material of the study consists of 3,000 examples of somatic concepts.

Main Findings: The article offers an analysis of somatic cultural code and its role in the Chinese cultural and linguistic worldview. The research was conducted on the material of Chinese lexical and phraseological units. Despite the growing interest of modern linguistics in somatic cultural models, and in particular, in somatic metaphors, there are only a few studies on the lexico-semantic aspects of the Chinese language.

Applications of this study: The concepts of face and heart are primary elements of the Chinese cultural somatic code with its system of associations, images, and symbols. As part of the traditional linguistic worldview they shape mentality, character, traditions, and stereotypes. As practical and axiological means, they are embedded in the language and consciousness of native Chinese speakers.

Novelty/Originality of this study: It is one of the first studies of the Chinese somatic cultural code and its national and cultural specificity.
A SOCIOLINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF DIGLOSSIC CODE-SWITCHING IN RELIGIOUS DISCOURSE BY PREACHERS OF FRIDAY SERMONS IN JORDAN
Authors: Al-Haj Eid Dr. Omar Abdullah
Published: September 2019

Purpose: The study aimed to examine the phenomenon of diglossic code-switching in religious discourse used by preachers of Friday mosques in Jordan when they deliver their Friday sermon. 

Methodology: To achieve the study objective, the researcher recorded (21) Friday sermons from three different geographical locations: cities, villages, and plains. The study primarily investigated the types of functions, the forms of code-switching and subject matters that make Friday preachers code-switch from high variety to low variety. A descriptive analysis was performed by the researcher.

Main Findings: The study reveals that diglossic code-switching is purposeful and functional serving ten sociolinguistic functions such as clarity and simplicity, giving directions, warnings, etc. The analysis also reveals that Arabic consists of high variety (standard) and low variety (nonstandard). Even though high variety is much better and is frequently used in official settings, there are instances in which low variety is used because high variety does not meet Arabic speakers' daily- life communication. The study also concludes Arabic is not a pigeonholed variety as Ferguson's claimed.  Therefore, Friday preachers vacillate from high to low variety to serve certain sociolinguistic functions. The research results also found three forms of code-switching: extra- sentential or tag-Switching, inter-sentential and intra-sentential. Extra-sentential was the most frequently used in the study.

Implication: This paper can be useful to a better understanding of the phenomenon of diglossic code-switching in the religious discourse in sociolinguistics in general and in particular studying the linguistic features of cod-switching in the religious discourse in the Arab world.

Novelty: No studies were conducted on diglossic code-switching in the religious discourse by Friday sermons not only in Jordan even in the Middle East.
Results of a hemostatic agent to potentiate ischemia-induced skin flap necrosis in an experimental rat model
Authors: AKBULUT Aylin , GURSOY Koray , YUMUSAK Nihat , KOCA Gokhan , KORKMAZ Meliha
Published: September 2019

Aim:
The
uses of plant based hemostatic agents are increasing
for obtaining operative field hemostasis. However, their effects on
vascularly challenged tissue is not known. The aim of this study was
to investigate the effect, if any, of plant-based hemostatic agent,
Ankaferd (ABS) on flap viability in a rat model.

Material
and Methods: Twenty
rats underwent McFarlane flaps under
general anesthesia.
Ten rats in Group I received no other treatment. Ten rats in Group II
received ABS to the underside of flaps. Viable
flap area was determined in scintigraphic images and percentage of
viable flap area pixel size to the total flap area pixel size was
calculated.
Additionally all flap areas were digitally photographed and underwent
histopathologic evaluation.
Results:
Scintigraphic
analysis has shown limited viability at proximal pedicle zone of flap
in Group II compared to Group I. The mean area of flap survival
percentage was calculated in
Group I and in Group II was as
follows respectively 56.33
±9.94%,
26.27±7.05%.
Differences between groups were statistically significant (p<0.001).
Similarly, Group II has shown significantly
smaller area of viable tissue percentage compared to Group I
(26.81±5.55%,
versus 59.66±12.04%,
p<0.001)
by digital photographic analysis. Histopathologic results were
significantly high in Group II compared to Group I (p<0.001)
whereas neovascularization was significantly low in Group II
compared to Group I (p<0.001).

Conclusion:
Despite
its efficacy in surgical hemostasis,
ABS use is
associated with an increased incidence of distal tip necrosis in
dorsal rat skin flaps. Therefore ABS use in marginally perfused
tissues particularly in random skin flaps should be cautious.
Green manures in agriculture: A review
Authors: Saini Pradip Kumar , Yadav R. K. , Yadav G. C.
Published: September 2019

Restoration of soil fertility of arable land is a great challenge in the developing and populous countries like India. The country witnessed the benefits Green Revolution Technologies (GRTs) in boosting of grain yield and the after effect of GRTs during past few decades in terms of deterioration of soil fertility and land degradation, loss of soil flora and fauna, genetic erosion, ecological unbalance, yield plateauing and associated insecurity in livelihood of the farmers. Now maintenance of soil fertility and sustainability of agriculture production are of important concerns. Green manuring can play an important role in this regard as it showed versatile impacts like improvement of soil physico-chemical and biological properties and fertility, nutrient supply to succeeding crops, checking erosion and plant protection. The previous research activities on various aspects of green manures were reviewed here in favour of evergreen agriculture for the future.
Effect of vinasse (spentwash) on quality of soil and sugarcane- A review
Authors: Goyal Vishal , Meena M. R. , Kumar Sukhdev
Published: September 2019

Vinasse produced by fermentation of molasses has to be paid particular attention due to its potentially huge impacts. The chemical composition of vinasse differs depending upon the soil, sugarcane variety, harvesting method and industrial method of ethanol production. For obvious reasons, as per the Indian Law, there are restrictions on its disposal in water bodies. Detailed and extensive studies and field experiments on soil and crop mostly show that vinasse is excellent manure which not only positively affects the physico-chemical properties of the soil but also helps in increasing the sugarcane yield. But due to some objectionable characteristics (low pH, high biochemical oxygen demand etc.), its judicious use is essential.
The current state of trout farming in Himachal Pradesh and its potential for future expansion
Authors: Sharma Madhu
Published: September 2019

In the Himalayan states of India, the mountainous region is rich in abundant oxygen, fresh water, which is highly suitable for the cultivation of rainbow trout. Himachal Pradesh is a state with many streams and reservoirs and has a large capacity of fish production. Estimated fishery, water resources of the state are about 3000 km, out of which 600 km of cold water streams are suitable for trout cultivation, which can be used for culturing trout. Trout is a cold water fish that grows well in water temperature from 5 oC to 15oC. There are approximately 762 trout forms, including seven run by the government in the state, which are mainly in Kullu, Chamba, Shimla, Kinnaur and Mandi districts. Out of the five zones, there are vast possibilities of producing high prized fish trout in Zone 1 and 2 of Himachal Pradesh. The total production of trout in the state was 0.54 tonnes in 1996-97 and increased to 25 tonnes in 2005-06, compared to 456.73 MT in 2017-2018. Availability of technical information on trout cultivation, breeding and artificial diet has helped tremendously in promoting the aquaculture of trout in the state. Extension and development efforts of rainbow trout production have led to an overall increase in the production of trout fish, but still there is a big difference between the actual and potential trout production. This paper has reviewed its ability to produce trout, present status and future expansion in Himachal Pradesh.

Published: September 2019

It is a well-known fact that it is not all possible to avoid droughts, but droughts can be managed to minimise the hardships of the local population. For this purpose, understanding of the supply-demand scenario is of utmost importance to understand the overall hydrology and planning needs of any watershed. It is in this direction, the comprehensive water balance analysis has been performed for the Sajnam watershed in Lalitpur district of Bundelkhand which is susceptible to regular and continuous droughts. The detailed water balance has been carried out after identification of important components and their quantification using the advance tools of Remote Sensing and GIS alongwith standard estimation techniques of individual components. It was observed that the runoff at the outlet of Sajnam basin is influenced by the water storage in the irrigation project located on the main river. The higher surface runoff of 668.53 MCM, 406.17 MCM, 343.46 MCM and 214.00 MCM is generated only during 2013-14, 2008-09, 2012-13 and 2010-11 respectively. During the remaining years, the runoff varied between 89.35 MCM and 209.81 MCM. Efforts can be initiated towards exploring the possibility of more water harvesting structures onthe lower order tributaries as well as artificial recharge measures depending on the hydro-geology of the watershed..

Published: September 2019

Uttarakhand is first and foremost an agricultural state and its share in the country’s total GDP is very small. More than half per cent of the population of Uttarakhand depend on agriculture for their livelihood. This emphasised the need for innovative approaches for agricultural development in the hilly region of the state. Majority of hill women are engaged in vegetable cultivation. Hill women were suffering from various problems due to lack of knowledge, information and education on various aspects. Thus, dissemination of information and education on various new aspects is necessary to empower the hill women. Present investigation was conducted in four villages viz; Koan, Baldiyakhan, Devidhura and Aadukhan of Nainital District of Uttarakhand. Result revealed that majority of respondents fall in middle age and belonged to General caste and can read and write. All the respondents have Mobile phone and television. Majority of respondents take the farming related information from neighbour followed by Input Dealer.
Assessment of sedimentation in kharkhara reservoir using digital image processing techniques
Authors: Jaiswal Kumar , Rai Anoop Kumar , Galkate Ravi , Nayak T. R.
Published: September 2019

Dams or reservoirs have proven to be very beneficial for the sustained development of human beings since its evolution. The usefulness of dam depends upon its capacity to store water. Sedimentation is a process which involves deposition of silt carried by flowing water from erosion of soil of upstream catchment area. Sedimentation has proven to be very detrimental for the capacity of dams or reservoirs. Sedimentation results in huge loss of storage capacity of dams or reservoirs thus reducing its life. Many methods have developed to measure the reservoir sedimentation like hydrographic survey, inflow-outflow approaches, remote sensing method etc. Out of these, remote sensing method is widely used as it is very simple and involves very less human survey thus reducing the chances of error. In remote sensing method, revised water spread area at different levels of reservoir is calculated and used for computation of loss of capacities between these levels. The present study has been carried out on Kharkhara reservoirs situated in Chhattisgarh state. Multi–date satellite data of IRS-P6, LISS-III is used for Kharkhara dam to estimate revised capacity. The normalized difference water index (NDWI), band ratioing technique (BRT) and false color composite (FCC) along with field truth verification were used to differentiate water pixels from rest of image. As the revised water spread at dead storage and full reservoir levels were not available, best –fit curve has been used to get revised spreads on these levels. From the analysis, it has been observed that Kharkhara reservoir has lost 8.41 MCM of gross storage against its total capacity of 169.54 MCM during 50 years(1967-2017). The average rate of sedimentation in Kharkhara reservoir is 16.82 Ha-m per year.
Effect of harvesting stage, storage and processing on nutritional and industrial quality of wheat
Authors: Gupta Om Prakash , Pandey Vanita , Narwal Sneh , Sharma Pradeep , Singh Sanjay Kumar , Reddy Gopal K. , Ram Sewa , Singh G. P.
Published: September 2019

To meet the energy need of the ever growing world’s population, wheat is the second most widely gowned cereal after rice in the world. Nutritional deterioration starts right from the field before harvesting the crops to the storage and the final consumption (processing loss). The importance of wheat is mainly due to the fact that its grain can be processed into various end products like flour, semolina, and other bakery products. The quality of these products is directly proportional to preserving the nutrient density of wheat while processing. The wheat grain contains 2-3% germ, 13-17% bran and 80-85% mealy endosperm. The wheat bran is mainly rich in fiber (53%), vitamin B complex and minerals which are lost from the starchy endosperm during the first stage of milling. The endosperm mainly contains energy-yielding starch. The germ lies at one end of the grain which is rich in proteins (25%) and lipids (8-13%). Therefore, understanding the proper stage of grain harvesting, storage and processing would save the nutritional values of the grains.

This paper presents a study concerning the possibility to choose the right symbol for a logo. For a designer, it is a very hard work to see what symbol is necessary to represent the identity of a company. Our study realised on thousands of logos to understand what message can be conveyed only by a sign/symbol. Also, we have realised that it is not necessary that the symbol be in the field of activity of the company but, it has to be an expressive one for it. The directions of the study were focused to identify the activities for which it is necessary to have an adequate graphic representation and to assure a database concerning symbols used, especially for some activities.

National Estonian-language tests: What is measured in text comprehension tasks?
Authors: Karbla Triinu , Uibu Krista , Mannamaa Mairi
Published: September 2019

Text comprehension includes different components to create a coherent whole. The comprehension tasks of the national Estonian-language tests for Grades 3, 6 and 9 (10-, 13- and 16-year-old students) were analysed to find out the similarity in the distribution of tasks at different comprehension levels for the same grade in consecutive years and if the text comprehension levels in the tests for different grades changed. Deductive content and descriptive analyses were used to find out how comprehension was measured in the national Estonian-language tests. We found that there was no consistency in the tests for the same grade in different years. Additionally, in most cases, the studentsâ€™ cognitive growth was not considered: the tests for younger students included more inferential and evaluative level tasks than the tests for older students. Although it is important to improve comprehension skills at every level, the emphasis in tests should move from literal to inferential and evaluative tasks in the older age group.

Keywords: Text comprehension levels, text comprehension components, national tests, text comprehension tasks, primary school.
Off-campus informal learning spaces selection: A Bangkok private university case study
Authors: Vanichvatana Sonthya
Published: September 2019

Informal learning spaces (ILS) include both inside and outside library spaces and universityâ€™s borderline. A university has its duty to provide classrooms and other supporting spaces for formal and informal learning. Nevertheless, the arrangement of such spaces might not logically and functionally match learning preferences and behaviours of students, who are prime users. The deficiency of on-campus ILS might drive students to use off-campus ILS. The understanding of why students select offcampus ILS can reflect any absence and inadequacy of on-campus ILS. The objective was to study where and why undergraduate students of business school select off-campus ILS. This research used students of a Bangkok private university as a case study. The research method was through quantitative analysis and descriptive data analysis, using questionnaire surveys conducted during March 2018. Students with any levels of grade point averages and undergraduate levels had similar preferences for using and not using off-campus ILS. Keywords: Informal learning, learning spaces, ILS, HEI, off-campus, Bangkok.

Facebook use by people with learning disabilities: The case for facilitated, guided autonomy
Authors: Williams Peter
Published: September 2019

Facebook is a worldwide phenomenon. However, for people with learning disabilities, the platform presents many challenges. These relate to social skills, self-expression and avoiding exploitation or other hurtful experiences. This study explores factors relating to Facebook use or abstinence by this cohort; how these may be influenced by their learning disabilities, and how supporters can help mitigate any difficulties or barriers. In-depth interviews (n = 115) and observations of usage were conducted. The findings revealed that themes elicited centred around passive consumption of content, supporter controls, virtual connectivity, vicarious enjoyment and aspects concerning the projection of self. Factors related to non-use included a lack of knowledge or access to the platform. A case is made for supporters practicing â€˜facilitated, guided autonomyâ€™ by working with those whom they support to help evaluate â€˜friendâ€™ requests, compose posts and generally, emphasising their subservience to those whom they support, act as â€˜Facebook assistantsâ€™.

Aspectos controversiales de las obligaciones surgidas del contrato de leasing ante la ausencia de una normativa especial
Authors: Arias-Barreto Gabriel
Published: September 2019

la atipicidad del contrato de leasing, enfrenta a sus partes a distintas situaciones que carecen de seguridad jurídica, que quizá por su naturaleza contractual invita a ejercicios de interpretación que pueden resultar desafortunados para la adecuada materialización del contrato. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en develar varias de sus vicisitudes generadas ante la ausencia de normativa, de tal forma que se provoque en el lector una reflexión acerca de la necesidad o no de regular este atípico contrato. La metodología empleada radicó en la revisión de jurisprudencia, doctrina, diferentes conceptos emitidos por entidades administrativas e inclusive la experiencia práctica de quienes operan con estos contratos. Como resultado, se sugiere la creación de una disposición normativa que de forma ágil resuelva los supuestos de hecho generando consecuencias que quizá sin ella no resultarían lógicas.
Prevalence of Drug Use Among the Working Population as a Form of Disadaptation Process. Part I
Authors: Pozdnyakova Margarita E. , Bruno Viktoria V.
Published: September 2019

The article is devoted to the study of the spread of drug use among the working population. On the basis of materials of quantitative and qualitative research of the deviant behavior sector of sociology from the Institute of Sociology of the Federal Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and also reviews of domestic and foreign research, the situation with involvement of workers of various professional groups in drug addiction is analyzed. In the first part of the article, the features of the use of psychoactive substances among workers of hazardous industry-related enterprises, the construction industry, medical workers and lawyers are considered, and the main risk factors influencing the use of psychoactive substances are revealed. It is demonstrated that among the workers of hazardous industry-related enterprises and builders, the introduction to drug use is the chosen adaptation strategy of overcoming difficulties and hard working conditions. The main risk factors for health care providers are the availability of psychoactive substances and a high level of readiness to experiment with them. Among the professional group of lawyers, a high level of stigmatization of substance use disorders has been identified, which significantly underestimates the actual rates of consumption.
Classification of Communicative Strategies in the Implementation of Management Decisions
Authors: Shilova Valentina A.
Published: September 2019

The article outlines the main theoretical and methodological approaches to the definition and study of subjective well-being. Based on the results of an empirical study (analysis of focused group discussions), the author of the article identifies and describes eight ideal typical subjective models of wellbeing, typical for residents of megalopolises and big cities of Russia, men and women aged 23 – 28 years and 38 – 45 years old, employees having permanent employment, with secondary and higher education, and different levels of material wealth. It’s about «ideal types» in the interpretation of Max Weber, that is, not existing in reality, but presented by respondents as some ideal situation of well-being.

In the first model of «balance of all important vital components», well-being consists in a harmonious combination of all important aspects of human life. In the second model of the «meaning of well-being in the family», the family is the goal and meaning of life. The third model «well-being as freedom» is based on the paramount importance of free time. In the fourth model of material wealth, well-being is primarily money. The fifth model «the meaning of well-being in work and career growth» focuses on career advancement, and the sixth model «the meaning of well-being in personal development, life experience and public acknowledgement» is a feeling of self-sufficiency. The seventh model of «well-being as happiness and spiritual harmony» brings to the fore the state of joy in life. In the eighth model «well-being as the prospect of a successful future, stability and certainty» the main prospects for the future.

The author concludes that the idea of employees about their own ill-being and the ill-being of others is built in the process of correlating their own or the proposed life situation with the subjective ideal model of well-being that they adhere to, and depends on the degree to which the ideal presentation corresponds to real events.
Adolescents of the 1990s and Today: Perceptions of Environmental Issues
Authors: Ivanova Larisa Yu.
Published: September 2019

The article is devoted to the dynamics of the attitude of adolescents to environmental problems. Relevance of the article is determined by the prospect of active influence of the younger generation on the environment in the near future. The attitude of teenagers in 1996 and 2017 to the possibility of economic growth and improvement of the well-being of Russians due to environmental degradation, as well as their concern about environmental problems (air and water pollution, deforestation, etc.) is analyzed. A comparison of the data from two surveys on “Adolescent health and the environment” in 1996 and 2017 showed that despite the deepening environmental crisis, the proportion of adolescents had almost doubled over the past two decades (13.1% in 1996, compared to 24.1% in 2017) of those who fully or partially agreed with the prospect of Russia’s economic growth due to environmental pollution, by 9.4% of those who agreed that the welfare of the people should be improved to the detriment of it; in addition, the share of adolescents who expressed serious concern about environmental problems has decreased, and the participation of respondents in environmental movements remains at a low level. There is also a positive trend: over two decades, the proportion of those who never litter the streets or nature has almost tripled. The article also considers data of all-Russian adult population surveys, which show that in comparison with the 1990s, the anxiety of Russians about environmental problems in their places of residence has decreased. In some questions, young people are more complacent than the older generation, although there is no basis for this. In the West, schoolchildren are active in the fight against global warming. The mass of the movement suggests the impact of this activity from school environmental education and education for sustainable development, which is given insufficient attention in Russia.
Cultural capital and public relations
Authors: Manterys Alexander
Published: September 2019

This article focuses on problems with correlating a value system to human activity. The author approaches analyzing this issue in terms of cultural capital. Subject to examination is the key component of social order, which can be described as “developing relations of the highest and lowest order”, as orientation towards oneself of one’s community in a social group or network. This work attempts to define what social capital consists of in terms of privileged and legitimized cultural practices. Presumably a culture of common values bears self-worth if it can be materialized within the boundaries of various types of relations. This allows for predicting trends of change in interpersonal relationships, by means of generalizing the results and conducting comparative analysis. Highlighted is the fact that such analysis makes sense if it were to be conducted in terms of cultural capital. As such, a special role is assigned to cultural competence. The ability and/or skills in practically using cultural achievements under certain conditions, with the goal of converting them into other types of capital later down the line, are especially valuable. Also noted is the fact that an understanding of cultural capital, as well as its transformations, is vital for analyzing actual practices which reflect the processes of the “achievements, approval or rejection, reproduction or transformation” dynamic. The author confirms the conclusion which had already been drawn by foreign scientists who are well-known in this field of knowledge, namely that there exists a certain pattern: either society brings forth specific channels for the flow of class cultures with their impenetrable boundaries, their peculiar and somewhat autonomous standards of purpose (of taste), or a dilution of class distinctions occurs. This inevitably has an effect on the decline of the role of cultural capital, and therefore on belonging to the elite. A hypothesis is brought forth about the need to define a person’s place within social networks, their affiliation with those who are typically considered to be members of “exclusive cultures”. Otherwise a connection to such networks implies the “lowest level of cultural competence” and an unfavorable place in the social hierarchy.
The population dynamic in Russian municipal formations from 2010 to 2018
Authors: Patsiorkovskiy Valery V. , Simagin Yuriy A. , Murtuzalieva Dzhamilya D.
Published: September 2019

During the period from the end of 2010 and up to the beginning of 2018, after a long pause, we saw an increase in the population of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, on most of the country’s territory the population has not ceased to decline in recent years. This is very apparent when analyzing the demographic situation on the level of first order municipalities – city districts and municipal areas. Indexes of natural population growth during recent years have exceeded values from the first decade of the 21st century. However, in 80% of municipalities a negative dynamic is evident compared to 2010, primarily due to natural decline. Natural decline is often accompanied by a negative balance in the migratory flow of the population. As a result, depopulation in certain cases reaches catastrophic proportions – at over 2% each year. This article examines peculiarities in the differentiation of natural population increase and migratory flow of Russia’s population by city district, municipal area, and broken down by territory (as in by federal district). It was revealed that negative trends are more inherent to municipal areas than they are to city districts. The most complicated situation with indexes of death rate and birthrate can be observed in municipalities of the Central, North-West and Privolzhsky Federal Districts. Mostly due to an intense migratory outflow, the population is decreasing in many municipal formations of the Far Eastern Federal District. As was the case in previous decades, the most favorable demographic situation can be observed in the North Caucasian Federal District. Meanwhile its municipal formations are gradually approaching the rest of Russia in terms of population birthrate and death rate indexes. Though this trend is of ambiguous nature, since, on the one hand, it evens out the excessive interregional socio-economic differentiation we see in Russia, while on the other it has a negative effect on the country’s demographic development in general. The migratory outflow of the population from the majority of North Caucasian municipal formations narrows the foundation for this region’s demographic development in the future.
Interethnic and interreligious unity among Crimea college students
Authors: Yarmak Olga V. , Nelina Larissa P. , Yarmak Veronika E.
Published: September 2019

The Crimea and Sevastopol are considered to be multinational regions, and within them – especially in the Crimea region – such an issue as interethnic and interreligious accord has been relevant at various points in history. With new subjects having joined the Russian Federation, this issue has not become any less relevant. On the contrary, due to new challenges of the modern world, such as extremism and terrorism, this issue has acquired new aspects. On the one hand, there exists the internal matter of the Crimean Tatars in the Crimea and Sevastopol, which needs to be examined within the context of starting an interethnic and inter-confessional dialog, while on the other hand the presence of external challenges prompts to consider developing interethnic and inter-confessional accord among the youth, primarily among college students, them being the most well-organized youth group. In light of this fact, the study conducted in 2017-2019 with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research within the framework of research project number 17-06-00440/19 and titled “Interethnic and interreligious unity among Crimea and Sevastopol college students: monitoring and analyzing the development level” allows to determine mechanisms for achieving such unity. According to the authors of this work, interethnic unity includes ethnic attitudes, willingness to partake in interethnic contact, which, among other things, develops national and territorial identity. The value component was examined during the course of empirical analysis: traditional values are in fact present in students’ consciousness; professional growth and self-fulfillment were identified as being important, while values attributed to general religious and ethnic interests were deemed insignificant. Also observed were deviations in the process of identity development among young Ukrainians. Observed within this youth group was a low degree of satisfaction with social provisions, the importance of such values as freedom, independence and religious unity; they feel that they belong to their own Ukrainian culture, which differs from Russian culture; for the most part Ukrainians assume that the Russian government cannot effectively protect their sovereignty. The results of this study allowed for determining the structural elements of interethnic and inter-confessional unity within various ethnic youth groups, with regards to components of young people’s national, territorial and cultural identity. The process of developing interethnic and inter-confessional unity within various ethnic groups of Crimea’s youth should be based on principles of regional patriotism, on creating common cultural codes, developing a positive image of Russia, enhancing young people’s economic and social standing, creating opportunity for professional growth together with social lifts, consolidating young people based on generational interests aimed at self-expression and self-fulfillment.
What is happening within the social structure of Russian society? Reviewing Zh. Toschenko’s study “The precariat: from the proto-class to a new class”
Authors: Shirokalova Galina S.
Published: September 2019

This peer-reviewed monograph, written by Zh. T. Toschenko and titled “The precariat: from the proto-class to a new class”, analyzes certain factors in the emergence of a new social community – the precariat. A critical analysis of contemporary studies on shifts in social structure is conducted by Russian and foreign authors, which allows for identifying certain specific phenomena and trends. Specified are parameters of the expansion of unconventional forms of employment, the relativity of one’s specialty, the incommensurability of work performed and one’s education and qualification, which produces alternative self-assessments and achievement practices. A lack of a layer of “economic security” and social guarantees for a considerable portion of the population extends the boundaries of this social community, while liberal policy exacerbates the unstable situation. The factual basis of this monograph is so comprehensive that it can serve as a sort of encyclopedia of contemporary labor relations in Russia.

This article explores the humanization of contemporary nursing practice. While the biomedical view considers persons as the composite of parts, thereby supporting the traditional nursing process of prescribing and predicting in order to fix or complete persons, nursing as a reflective practice within the unitary-transformative paradigm instead fosters the wholeness of persons as always complete considering them whole beings. Nursing within a human science perspective is the appreciation of persons as co-actors and experts in their own care. The application of “humanization of caring” process of nursing is illustrated as a transformative model of practice.

Introduction: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that has the potency to become chronic infection and cause serious complications such as liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. One of the tools in diagnosing hepatitis B or cirrhosis and predicting the prognosis is aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the profile of APRI among cirrhotic patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).Method: This research was a descriptive observational study. The number of samples was 35 cirrhotic patients with positive HBsAg in RSUD Dr. Soetomo Surabaya from January-December 2017.Results: The majority of cirrhotic patients had >1,5 APRI score (48,57%). The most prevalent APRI score in Child A patients for first classification was 0,5 – 1,5 (5,71%) while for second classification was 0,7 – 1,5 (5,71%). The most prevalent APRI score in Child B patients for first classification was 0,5 – 1,5 (17,14%) while for second classification was 0,7 – 1,5 (11,43%). Most of Child C patients had >1,5 APRI score (22,86%). The majority of malignant degeneration patients also had >1,5 APRI score (14,29%).Conclusion: The majority of cirrhotic patients had >1,5 APRI score. In cirrhotic patients with Child A or B classification, the increase of APRI score was not as much as those with Child C or malignant degeneration classification.Keywords: Hepatitis B, cirrhosis, liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, APRI

Introduction: In Indonesia, there has been a 10% increase in the span of five years for exclusive breastfeeding, however this is still far from the national target. One of the factors that can cause low rates of national exclusive breastfeeding is that not all babies have received an early initiation of breastfeeding. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the work area of Wiyung Public Health Center, Surabaya. Methods: This study was a quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The study used a questionnaire as the research instrument given to 30 respondents, namely mothers who had 7-12 month old babies in the work area of Wiyung Public Health Center, Surabaya. Results: The percentage of early initiation of breastfeeding in babies aged 7-12 months was 53.33% meanwhile the percentage of exclusive was 73.33%. Using Chi Square Fisher Exact Test, it was found that there is no relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the working area of the Wiyung Public Health Center in Surabaya. (The value of p = 0.574 with a value of α = 0.05, p>α). Conclusion: The early initiation of breastfeeding is not the only factor influencing exclusive breastfeeding for babies aged 7-12 months in the work area of the Wiyung Public Health Center in Surabaya. Further research is needed on other factors that can relate to and influence exclusive breastfeeding.
