Authors: Noor Nizami Ghazala , Sarfaraz Muhammad , Noor Nizami Dr. Shazia
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

To find out the prevalence and to highlight the risk factors of low back pain in home-based physical therapist.

STUDY DESIGN AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

A cross-sectional survey study with non-probability convenience sampling technique

STUDY SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS

200 physical therapists that were doing home patients in Karachi, either without or with their jobs were the part of this study. They were either self-employed or affiliated to different hospitals.

DATA COLLECTING TOOL AND DATA ANALYSIS

A questionnaire was used to collect data, which was adopted from Nordic questionnaire and other researches. The collected data was analyzed on SPSS 20.

RESULTS

93 % home-based physical therapists had experienced the work-related pain or discomfort in the last 12 months. Among them the low back is the highly affected site with prevalence of 81.5%. Their working status of job in physical therapy department or academics with home-based physical therapy had a significant difference in presence or absence of work related pain or discomfort.

CONCLUSION

This study shows that home-based physical therapists are more prone to develop work-related problems and had higher prevalence of work-related LBP. This may be due to more work load, lower bed height of home patients, poor ergonomics at homes of patients and poor posture of physical therapists.

Published: January 2021

The triad of symptoms seen in autism, comprising impaired social skills, verbal and non-verbal communication, and stereotypical behaviors, may be severe enough to have a debilitating effect on a child’s life which disturbs the child psychosocial behavior. This study discusses the usage of a low tech alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) system chosen for one such child (referred to as F.S.), having profound speech and language difficulties that interfered with her everyday communication, and hindered her participation in educational and social activities. AAC is one of the most recommendable and highly reliable tools to assess the children disability and the burden caused by it. AAC is a method of communication that utilizes all available modalities to help individuals with severe expressive language deficits. This AAC method was a (modified) picture exchange communication system (PECS), to maximize her current skills and introduce others.

Authors: Korsakova S. P. , Korsakov P. B.
Published: January 2021

An agrometeorological review of the 2019 climate seasons on the Southern coast of Crimea was performed based on observations from the Nikitsky garden agrometeorological station. A distinctive feature of the growing season from previous years was revealed - dry May, very hot droughty with dry wind August, warm, long and extremely dry autumn. At the beginning of the growing season in spring, the development of plants was close to the average long-term. The predominance of hot weather in the summer months accelerated their development and maturation by 15-30 days. Severe and very long air-soil drought depressingly affected the laying and development of generative structures in plants. Unsatisfactory water availability of plants caused their damage and, as a result, premature leaves defoliation. Heat availability in 2019 was significantly higher than the long-term average, but slightly lower than last year.
Flora of the natural monument «Cape Plaka» (Southern Coast of the Crimea): preliminary analysis
Authors: Ryff L. E.
Published: January 2021

As a result of long standing research, 116 species from 88 genera of 36 families of vascular plants have been registered on the territory of the “Cape Plaka” nature monument. A preliminary analysis of the systematic, geographic and biomorphological structure of the flora was carried out, which showed that it belongs to the flora of the Mediterranean type. A list of habitats of the Cape has been compiled according to the EUNIS habitat classification. It was found that six native plant species ( Asphodeline lutea , Avena barbata , Hedypnois rhagadioloides , Juniperus excelsa , Pistacia mutica , Rhus coriaria ) and five types of biotopes have a conservation status, which confirms the high conservation value of the territory. It is proposed to include two more rare taxa in the list of protected species in the Crimea: Fumaria petteri and Misopates orontium . High invasive activity of Cheiranthus cheiri and two representatives of the genus Opuntia was revealed. It is recommended to combine two natural monuments - “Cape Plaka” and “The Coastal Aquatic Complex at Cape Plaka” - into a single protected area.

Authors: Perminova Ya. A. , Reznikov O. N. , Bagrikova N. A.
Published: January 2021

The paper presents the results of some of the qualitative and quantitative parameters of Clematis flammula plants study. The plants have been naturalized in different phytocenotic conditions of the Southern Coast of Crimea. It has been found that in the studied plants most of the parameters of leaves and flowers are characterized by an average variability (10 <Cv <30). Plants also differ in the shape and dissection of the leaves. Low coefficient of variation (Cv, up to 10%) of a seed weight indicates an insignificant variability of this parameter.The parameter such as the length of the leaf petiole (Cv, 43-59%) is distinguished by a high variability.

Authors: Kostin S. Yu.
Published: January 2021

The paper presents the list of birds of the Cape Martyan Nature Reserve, compiled in accordance with the international concepts of the taxonomy and nomenclature of birds in North-Eastern Eurasia, with a species-specific characteristic of a phenological status and an ecological specificity. It was found that 179 species of the modern avifauna of the territorial-aquatic complex belong to 51 families and 19 orders. Six orders (Passeriformes, Charadriiformes, Anseriformes, Falconiformes, Ciconiiformes, Gruiformes) unite 149 species (or 83.3% of the reserve's avifauna). The main part of the fauna is a group of migratory birds (134 species, or 74.9%), which include transit migrants (78), nesting migrants (16) and species whose local populations are sedentary (4). 39 species nest, 88 winters, including 24 sedentary ones. On summer grounds 21 species were recorded, on migrations - 9 ones. In the ecological structure of the avifauna of the reserve dendrophils (40.2%) and limnophiles (38.5%) dominate, the share of sclerophils is 12.3%, campophiles - 7.8%. Analysis of the seasonal spectrum of the ecological structure showed that limnophiles (42.5%) and dendrophils (35.8%) predominate among migrants, 12.7 and 10.4% are among sclerophils and campophiles respectively. The structure of the wintering complex repeats the migration aspect, and in the nesting complex after dendrophils (64.1%), the second place is occupied by sclerophils (25.6%).
History of zoological research in the Crimean Nature Reserve: vertebrates
Authors: Kostin S. Yu. , Dulitsky A. I. , Sirotkina A. A.
Published: January 2021

The present work is a historical and biographical sketch of the formation and development of research in one of the first nature reserves in Russia. The article describes the main milestones in the study of vertebrates in the past and the stages of scientific research in the Crimean Nature Reserve in the XX-XXI centuries. It is shown that by 1925 the vertebrate fauna of the mountain Crimea was poorly studied, and the formation and operation of the biological station in the Crimean Reserve marked the beginning of comprehensive research not only in the mountains, but also in the steppe. The reorganization of the Reserve into a hunting Reserve in 1957 did not affect the level and scale of scientific research. In 1964-1968, a comprehensive theme on beechwood forests was completed, and in 1970-1974, a theme on birds and mammals of the Crimea was conducted as well. In 1974-1976 the work of the zoological group went to the international level in connection with the inclusion of Swan Islands in the number of the Ramsar Sites of the USSR. Since 1983, scientific research has been conducted under the program "Nature Records" within the boundaries of the reserve. In 1991, the institution was returned to the status of a nature reserve. Zoological research is carried out by full-time employees with the participation of scientists from various research centers working on international projects. After the reunification of the Crimea with Russia in 2014, the Crimean Reserve is undergoing a period of reorganization. And in September 2018 its mountain and forest part gets the status of a National Park. The “Swan Islands” ornithological branch becomes an independent nature reserve.

Authors: Korzhenevskaya Yu. V.
Published: January 2021

The bryophytes of the reserve are represented by 71 species: 3 liverworts and 68 leafy mosses. The greatest variety of mosses is typical for forests. Most mosses are epiphytes, which are associated with the trunks and bases of trees - 21,4%, on the soil - 19,7% and on a limestone rock. In the ecological structure of the bryoflora, the features can be traced, zonally determined by the features of the bryoflora of the southern regions with pronounced aridity features. The predominant life form is loose turf - 44.2%, the second position is occupied by dense turf mosses (31,1%). In relation to the degree of asubstrate moisture mesoxerophytes - 29,6% and mesophytes - 27,9% dominate. In relation to the degree of supply of the substrate with nutrients, oligomesotrophs - 37,7%, and mesotrophs - 32,7% are mostly represented. In relation to illumination helioscyophytes occupy a predominant position - 44,6%, in relation to the temperature factor mesotherms occupy a leading position - 50,8%, mesotrophs - 31,5%, mesoeutrophs - 17,4% and eutrophs - 12% are most prominent. The analysis of the spectrum of ecological-floristic strategies of bryophytes has shown a high proportion of species with strategies of colonists and shuttles. The bryological materials confirm the high scientific significance and nature conservation value of the reserve territory.

Las leyes de Ypres sobre la beneficiencia, introducción, texto latino y traducción
Authors: Zorroza  , Herrera García Rosa María
Published: January 2021

En la investigación realizada sobre La finalidad de los bienes: riqueza, pobreza y mendicidad en el siglo XVI, uno de los documentos que influye en cuál sea el modo de abordar la cuestión de la pobreza, la mendicidad y el vagabundeo son las ordenanzas de Ypres, un texto de difícil acceso y que determina una forma concreta de mirar la beneficencia: verla cada vez más como una cuestión social que pasa por un progresivo control del pobre limitando sus movimientos. El espíritu de Ypres, que no expresa –como se ha afirmado con frecuencia– una introducción del luteranismo, está presente en las reformas también municipales de Zamora (que son reiteradas en otras ciudades castellanas), y se hacen ley con la Instrucción de las leyes que hablan sobre pobres (1540). Es el detonante de una polémica sobre la mendicidad y la beneficencia entre Domingo de Soto y Juan de Robles (1545). Profundizar en el sentido de las leyes de Ypres, su contexto y su contenido, permite comprender mejor el sentido de la polémica y las posiciones que se tomarán en España en el s. XVI.

Science Represented in Newspapers in the Constitutional Monarchy and the 1st Republic. A Study in Faial Island, the Azores, Portugal
Authors: Serpa Sandro , Ferreira Carlos Miguel
Published: January 2021

This study aims to apprehend the representations of science published in two local newspapers (O Faialense and O Telégrafo) published in the periphery of Portugal (Faial Island, the Azores), in the last quarter of the 19th and early 20th century. For this purpose, the authors carried out a thematic and qualitative analysis of the news collected in these two newspapers. Results allow concluding that, while Positivism is considered one of the main currents of thought justifying the rise of the republican logic, which culminated in the revolution that deposed the constitutional monarchy regime and implemented the republican regime in 1910 in Portugal, the research carried out shows a growing appreciation and visibility of the importance ascribed to both science and technology, without, however, any explicit association with political ideologies. This may be due to the type of search carried out and the editorial lines of the two newspapers, as well as – or also – to their peripheral geographical location concerning the propagation of these ideas.

Authors: Hiep Tran Xuan , Binh Nguyen Tuan , Bao Tran Thai
Published: January 2021

India and Myanmar are two neighboring countries have a traditional, close and longstanding relationship. Through many vicissitudes and fluctuations of history, bilateral relations have been retained and developed since the Cold War to the present. In relations with Myanmar, India cannot ignore the Chinese factor. China is a “rising” power in Asia and a neighbor to both India and Myanmar. With the third largest area and largest population in the world, China has a very important influence on the diplomatic relations of the countries, including the relations between India and Myanmar. Considered as a strategic competitor of India in the 21st century, China has a great influence on the country in improving and developing relations with neighboring countries, including Myanmar. On the basis of the reference sources, this research’s aim is to analyze China’ role in India - Myanmar relations process in the years 1992 - 2014, thereby helping readers to recognize the great impact of the Chinese factor on the development of the relationship mentioned above. The scope of this research is the Chinese factor for India - Myanmar relations in the period when India implemented the “Look East” policy (1992 - 2014). The research shows that the factor’s impact on India - Myanmar relations in the aforementioned period is regular and takes place in many fields, with the focus on political - diplomacy, economic and security - defense. With the strategic importance of neighboring Myanmar, India cannot “forget” its Chinese strategic competitor in relations with Myanmar as well as other neighboring countries in the 21st century.

Conducting Law Pedagogy Using Virtual Classroom in the Era of COVID-19 Pandemic: Opportunities and Existing Obstacles
Authors: Odeku Kolawole Sola
Published: January 2021

Globally, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting the way of life, affecting not only humans’ health, but also the education sector and law pedagogy is no exception. In South Africa, before the COVID-19 pandemic, most pedagogies at the universities were being conducted face-to-face. The pandemic has inadvertently exposed the strengths and weaknesses of university in conducting pedagogies. Consequently, various educational institutions became creative, using their ICT staff to train teaching staff members on how to use various multi-modal technologies and devices to conduct pedagogy as face-to-face pedagogy is restricted. Law lecturers who pride themselves in conducting pedagogies through face-to-face were also coopted and retrained considering that most of the law lecturers are broadly conservatives and not technologically savvy. There is paucity of any scholarly information from law as a discipline hence, this paper fills the lacuna by looking at law pedagogy in the era of COVID-19 pandemic.

Reflections on Protolanguage: Evidence from Studies on Animal Communication
Authors: Jaber Aziz , Omari Osama , Abudalbuh Mujdey
Published: January 2021

The paper is a critique of the existence of protolanguage based on some personal reasoning given the findings of previous research. This paper focuses on the nature of semantic compositionality and its existence (and therefore manifestations) in animal communication systems as evidence of the existence of protolanguage. This compositional state that started to color human language has paved the way to hierarchical syntax and thus has helped in the emergence of a recursive, fully complex language. On the other hand, non-human animal communication systems, including those examined in this paper, have not managed to progress beyond the holophrastic state, and thus remained highly confined and unproductive. This is explicated by the observation that these systems do not employ discrete meaningful units that can be used recursively in different linguistic contexts, a necessary condition for a system of communication to be compositional. This is interesting in the study of language evolution as it could suggest that human language could not have evolved from a rudimentary, intermediate stage called protolanguage. Speculating about the existence of protolanguage subsumes convergent evolution (e.g. songbirds). The lack of semantic compositionality in non-human communication system suggests that convergent evolution is hard to prove, which puts the existence of protolanguage on the line. This thesis is, however, far from being established and requires a lot of further research to prove its validity.

Authors: Bregu Edit , Faniko Irvin
Published: January 2021

Before starting the First Balkan War, the Great Powers were not prepared for a quick victory of the young Balkan allies against an old empire, as it was until 1912 the Great Ottoman Empire. At the Ambassadors Conference in London, Austro-Hungary argued that the involvement of Shkodra City was essential to the economy of the new Albanian state. Meanwhile Russia did not open the way for solving the Shkodra problem, Russian diplomats thought how to satisfy Serbia's ambitions in Northeast Albania, respectively in Kosovo Beyond those considerations of a political character, on 8 October 1912, was the youngest member of the Balkan Alliance, the Shkodra northern neighbor, Montenegro, that rushed to launch military actions, thus opening the first campaign of the First Balkan War. The Montenegrin military assault, as its main strategic objective in this war, was precisely the occupation and annexation of the historic city of Shkodra, a city with a big economic and cultural importance for the Albanian people and territory.
