Authors: Verdi Davide , Yang Shanshan , Soh Norman , Tay Grace , Patran Alin
Published: April 2022

In this paper, preliminary results on the feasibility of reusing unmelted feedstock material in powder-blown laser Directed Energy Deposition are reported. The environmental impact assessment and sustainability aspects of laser Directed Energy Deposition are also illustrated. Inconel 625 powder was used and cuboids samples were deposited on stainless steel 316 substrate. The unmelted powder was collected and characterized and then reused four times to build samples for five cycles of deposition, without the addition of more virgin powder. Promising results toward the adoption of powder reuse in laser Directed Energy Deposition processes, in terms of powder physical and chemical characteristics, were obtained. The environmental impact analysis highlighted that powder reuse will generate significant savings that will contribute to the sustainability of the laser Directed Energy Deposition process.
Considerations for Use of Published AM Data for Aircraft Certification
Authors: Ashforth Cindy , Ilcewicz Larry
Published: April 2022

This paper compares and contrasts how design values required by federal aviation regulations have been developed and used for both metallic and composite structure, and it discusses how those methods may be applied to additively manufactured materials. Traditional metallic aircraft structures have a long history of standardization where metallic alloys have public databases of properties that are independent of the metallic material producer. These materials may, by and large, be considered homogeneous and isotropic, leading to simplified theoretical solutions for strength and stiffness that have been further matured over the years into solutions for common aircraft design elements. By contrast, composite materials have published databases of properties for lamina or laminates that are tied to a single proprietary material formulation consolidated and cured/solidified under a single specific procedure. The database is therefore limited to those material and process details, and it is not universally applicable to other materials or similar processes. Due to the complexity of the structures, there are no fundamental solutions that can apply these simple properties to predict the strength and damage tolerance of full‐scale structures without additional levels of empiricism. To address that, composite designers develop unique semiempirical databases at more complex scales of the building block that, again, are only applicable to their specific design details. This paper discusses considerations to help designers determine if the method used for traditional metallic materials, the method used for composites, or a hybrid thereof, is appropriate for their additively manufactured (AM) application.
Conversion of In-Process Optical and Thermal Data into a Single 3D File Representing Printing Process in Powder Bed Fusion
Authors: Zhang Xuan , Nguyen Ngoc-Vu , Tran Tuan
Published: April 2022

Rapid development of additive manufacturing technologies leads to an increasing demand for quality control of printed parts. While in-process monitoring systems and posttesting technologies have been developed to inspect the part quality, there is not yet a well-established method that specifies the procedures and requirements to convert the extracted in-process layer-wise information into a single three-dimensional (3D) file for quality evaluation and control. In this study, an off-axial imaging system utilizing optical and thermal cameras is deployed to acquire in-process optical and thermal images of the powder bed fusion process. Image registration and analyses are then performed on the acquired images to extract the in-process layer-wise data (e.g., coordinates, gray value, and temperature) associated with the printing process. Based on a comparison of file formats commonly used in industrial software, the Extensible Markup Language file format was selected, which is specified by post-processing software, and further propose procedures for constructing a single 3D file from the in-process data to represent the printing process and evaluate the printing quality. This work provides guidelines for conversion of in-process data into 3D files and contributes to in-process monitoring and quality control of additively manufactured parts.
Effects of β-carotene on glucose metabolism dysfunction in humans and type 2 diabetic rats
Authors: Wu Jianjun , Zhou Yinan , Hu Hanqing , Yang Dawei , Yang Fan
Published: April 2022

Background

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common chronic disease that is strongly associated with cardiovascular risk. Long-term high blood glucose levels may induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cardiac dysfunction and suppress fetal cardiomyocyte proliferation. Recent epidemiological studies have shown a link between antioxidant carotenoids and T2DM, but a comprehensive longitudinal study of this association has not yet been conducted.

Methods

We included participants with biological measurements for both serum cis-β-carotene and fasting glucose from NHANES (2001–2006). We divided the participants into quartiles according to serum cis-β-carotene levels and determined the association between these levels and glucose metabolism by using multivariable regression models adjusted for confounding factors. The mechanism through which β-carotene levels regulate plasma glucose levels was further investigated in vivo and in vitro. In addition, we performed a preliminary exploration of the effects of β-carotene on diabetic rats and primary cardiomyocytes.

Results

Higher cis-β-carotene (quartile 4) was associated with higher LDL-cholesterol levels but lower fasting blood glucose levels. However, T2DM rats subjected to β-carotene treatment showed diminished total triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol, and their β-carotene levels were associated with better cardiac function than that in the T2DM group (P<0.05). Moreover, β-carotene was found to be an important protective factor improving cardiac and mitochondrial function in diabetes. At non-cytotoxic doses, β-carotene clearly improved glucose uptake in insulin-resistant cells. Treatment with β-carotene increased GLUT4 and p-Akt expression, and attenuated the phosphorylation of IRS-1. Our data demonstrated that β-carotene improved cardiac mitochondria biogenesis in diabetes due to activation of PGC-1β.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that β-carotene can be used to treat metabolic disorders through inhibition of the insulin-resistance pathway in diabetes.
Biofilm formation in cutaneous wounds and its behavior in the face of interventions: an integrative review
Authors: Borges Eline Lima , Spira Josimare Aparecida Otoni , Amorim Gilmara Lopes , Coelho Ana Carolina Silva Martins
Published: April 2022

Objective: to identify in the literature the biofilm formation and its behavior when faced with interventions in cutaneous wounds. Methods: an integrative review, carried out in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, EMBASE, Scopus, The Cochrane Library Collaboration, MEDLINE/PubMed and Science Direct databases, without temporal delimitation. Nineteen studies were selected. The information was evaluated descriptively, comparing it with the pertinent findings. Results: the sample studies were published in English and included three types of biofilm research: two clinical, six in vitro and 11 in vivo (animal). Three themes were included: biofilm model creation (n=4), biofilm assessment (n=3), biofilm behavior before interventions for its management (n=12). Conclusion: the detrimental effects of biofilm on wound healing have been confirmed. Several interventions were able to reduce and eliminate biofilm in in vitro and in vivo models. Contributions to practice: it was found that clinical evaluation of the lesion does not allow the identification of biofilm, even when present; it is below the surface of the lesion. This finding raises reflection on the part of nurses regarding the interventions adopted for the removal of biofilm.
Development and validation of a direct PCR based assay for the detection of Colletotrichum species on chili seeds
Authors: Dhiman Shiwali , Kumari Nidhi , Badiyal Anila , Sharma Vivek , Sharma Prem Nath
Published: April 2022

An investigation was executed to detect Colletotrichum truncatum (synonymous C. capsici) and C. coccodes in solo or as a disease complex through direct PCR (dPCR) in anthracnose-infected chili seeds. Direct PCR was performed with C. coccodes and C. truncatum-specific
markers and Tris-EDTA buffer aliquots (obtained from infected seeds soaked up to five hours) as source of template DNA. This method efficiently and specifically detected the respective species in seeds with minimum 2.5% infection, yielding species-specific ∼500 bp (C. truncatum)
and ∼340 bp (C. coccodes) fragments without any non-specific amplification with other mycoflora. Further, the seeds used in the experiment were tested for their germination efficiency along with a complete set of dried seeds as control. Among the soaked seeds, germination frequency
ranged between 50 (infected seeds) to 100% (healthy seeds) without any significant loss in germination, confirming the sustainability of the current protocol. We recommend the use of direct PCR from soaked seeds without prior DNA extraction as a cost-effective and quick method for detecting
the pathogen directly from infected seeds in fields.
Stomorija – Miri (Kaštel Novi), primjer prostornih relacija unutar naselja u kasnoj Antici i srednjem vijeku
Authors: Burić Tonči
Published: April 2022

Autor u radu dokazuje postojanje dvije različite koncepcije prostorne artikulacije agrarnih naselja u Kaštelima u kasnoj antici i srednjem vijeku. Obje su nastale u kompleksima rustičnih vila koje su organizirane tijekom kasne antike na temeljima ranorimskih vila. Od ranorimskih se razlikuju po veličini posjeda koji im pripada, a fizički po znatno većoj očuvanosti arhitektonskih ostataka, jer su te vile ostale u funkciji i u srednjovjekovnoj epohi. U svakoj od njih u pravilu je najkasnije u 6. st. podignut i kršćanski sakralni objekt u procesu kristijanizacije pagusa u salonitanskom ageru. U prvoj i nešto brojnijoj verziji prostorne artikulacije u okviru kasnoantičkog veleposjeda (villa rustica) kršćanska bogomolja je podignuta u sklopu stambeno-gospodarskog središta vile (Sv. Marta – Stombrate, Sv. Kuzma i Damjan – Dolac u Kaštel Gomilici), a u drugoj je stambeno-gospodarski kompleks udaljen od sakralnoga objekta za oko 1 km (Miri – Stomorija u Kaštel Novom). Dok je prva verzija uobičajena diljem provincije Dalmacije ona u slučaju Miri – Stomorija je po svemu sudeći izuzetak uvjetovan lokalnim datostima terena. U oba slučaja ti kasnoantički kompleksi prerastaju u srednjovjekovne vladarske posjede (curtes, predia), a potom u srednjovjekovna sela.

Reducing Pediatric Unplanned Extubation Across Multiple ICUs Using Quality Improvement
Authors: Melton Kristin , Ryan Caitlin , Saunders Angela , Zix Julie
Published: April 2022

OBJECTIVES

Unplanned extubation (UE) in pediatric patients can result in significant harm or mortality. In our institution, efforts to reduce UE in the ICU were siloed and learnings were not shared. Our goal was to implement shared initiatives across ICUs in a pediatric institution using quality improvement methodology, with the global aim of reducing serious harm caused by UEs.

METHODS

The study was conducted as a single-center prospective quality improvement initiative in the pediatric, neonatal, and cardiac ICUs of a large, freestanding academic pediatric hospital. Using the model for improvement and plan–do–study–act cycles, our multidisciplinary team implemented multiple interventions to reduce UEs. The primary measure monitored was the monthly UE rate, defined as the number of UEs per 100 ventilator days, which was tracked over time using statistical control charts.

RESULTS

The overall monthly institutional UE rate was reduced from 1.22 UE per 100 ventilator days to 0.2 UE per 100 ventilator days, representing an 84% improvement in rate and reduction of harm. Sixteen percent to 21% of UEs required additional resources because of a difficult airway, and 10% to 22% of UEs resulted in cardiovascular collapse requiring resuscitation.

CONCLUSIONS

Significant harm is associated with UEs in pediatric patients. We implemented a bundle for UE reduction across all ICU populations in a pediatric hospital and significantly reduced the rate of UE within our institution and within each individual unit. Allowing variation for implementation of interventions by unit, although targeting a common goal, contributed to overall success and sustainability.
Симптоми, поширення та шкодочинність туберкульозу Fraxinus excelsior L. (збудник – Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi (Smith 1908) Young et al.)
Authors: Kulbanska Ivanna
Published: April 2022

Останніми роками спостережено епіфітотійне всихання багатьох видів лісових деревних рослин як в Україні, так і в інших країнах, яке має динамічний характер і тенденцію до зростання. У глибокій патології цього явища поза увагою залишилися фітопатогенні бактерії, які володіють високою енергією розмноження і здатні проникати в рослину як ззовні, так і спричиняти патологічний процес як вітальні облігати.

Найбільш поширеним і шкодочинним захворюванням Fraxinus excelsior L. є туберкульоз. Туберкульоз завдає більшою мірою економічних, ніж екологічних збитків. Збудник хвороби – фітопатогенна бактерія Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi – уражує як стовбури, гілки та пагони, так і суцвіття ясена. З туберкульозної патології, як супутню міко- і мікробіоту, ізольовано бактерії Pseudomonas sp., P. fluorescens, P. syringae, Erwinia herbicola, E. horticola, Xanthomonas sp. та мікроміцети Cladosporium cladosporiodes, Ulocladium botrytis, Mycelia sterilia (dark), Mycelia sterilia (orange), Fusarium heterosporum, Fusarium sp., Acremonium strictum, Cylindrocarpon didymum тощо.

У патогенезі хвороби виділено п’ять етапів (фаз) її розвитку та наведено основні симптоматичні характеристики уражень, що дає змогу вчасно розпізнати уражене дерево для кожної вікової групи насаджень. Удосконалено методи діагностики бактеріальних хвороб Fraxinus excelsior. Виявлено пряму залежність поширення туберкульозу від частки ясена у складі насаджень різних вікових груп.  

Показано, що патологія Fraxinus excelsior – явище багатогранне із взаємопов'язаними процесами інфекційного та неінфекційного характеру.
Наукові засади створення навчально-виробничого стаціонару "Борщовичі"
Authors: Lavnyy Vasyl , Vytseha Ruslan , Kravchuk Rostyslav , Spathelf Peter
Published: April 2022

У лісовому фонді ДП "Львівське лісове господарство" створено навчально-виробничий стаціонар "Борщовичі", щоб дослідити різні способи господарювання у соснових деревостанах. Запропоновано схему розміщення секцій у сосновому деревостані свіжого  грабово-дубово-соснового сугруду віком 19 років з різними варіантами інтенсивності та методів рубок догляду. Зокрема, рівномірно по площі таксаційного виділу закладено п’ять секцій розміром 50 × 80 м з 15-метровими буферними зонами між ними. Виконано нумерацію та вимірювання таксаційних показників усіх ростучих дерев діаметром 6,1 см і більше на висоті 1,3 м на кожній секції. Загалом обліковано 5416 дерев, з яких 4870 особин становить Pinus sylvestris L. Встановлено лісівничо-таксаційні показники деревостанів на кожній секції, обґрунтовано організаційно-технічні показники прочищення на кожній із секцій. При цьому перша секція є контрольною, на якій жодних лісівничих заходів не запроєктовано. Виконано розрахунок кількості дерев, відведених у рубку, об’єм яких забезпечує відповідну інтенсивність рубки (20% ‒ на другій і четвертій, 40% ‒ на третій і п’ятій секціях). На другій секції запроєктовано проведення рубки догляду низовим методом, для чого було відібрано і призначено в рубку 349 дерев сосни звичайної, здебільшого відсталих у рості; на третій секції у рубку призначено 440 дерев, з яких 363 дерева сосни звичайної; на четвертій секції у рубку призначено 183 дерева, з яких 167 дерев сосни звичайної і на п’ятій секції у рубку призначено 298 дерев, з яких 223 дерева сосни звичайної. У натурі виконано підбір таких дерев залежно від їх стану, класу Крафта, категорії технічної придатності та методу рубки (низовий – на другій і третій секціях; верховий – на четвертій і п’ятій секціях). Розраховано динаміку лісівничо-таксаційних показників деревостанів кожної секції до та після рубки. Встановлено, що проведення рубки низовим методом несуттєво впливає на зміну лісівничо-таксаційних показників деревостану, зокрема на середній діаметр та середню висоту. Натомість значно більший вплив та різницю у таксаційних показниках зумовлює проведення рубки верховим методом. Із сукупності залишених дерев виділено дерева майбутнього (65-72 шт. на кожній секції) головних деревних видів (здебільшого ‒ Pinus sylvestris L, рідше ‒ Quercus robur L.), частка об’ємів яких становить 9,5-12,0% від загального запасу деревостану.
Вплив Betula pendula Roth. на таксаційні показники Pinus sylvestris L. у лісових культурах свіжого бору Західного Полісся
Authors: Debryniuk Iurii , Myklush Yuriy
Published: April 2022

У напрямі підвищення продуктивності та стійкості лісів у конкретних умовах особливого значення набувають заходи з поліпшення лісорослинних умов та ефективного використання потенційної родючості грунту. Підвищення грунтової родючості можна досягти через відповідний добір деревних порід у вирощуваних насадженнях і забезпечення їхнього складу, близького до оптимального. Тому актуальним питанням є встановлення раціональних схем і способів змішування під час створення лісових культур за участю Pinus sylvestris L. та Betula pendula Roth. у бідному типі лісорослинних умов, за яких хвойний вид відзначався би високою продуктивністю і стійкістю, використовуючи грунтополіпшуючий вплив берези повислої.

Мета роботи полягала у встановленні впливу дерев окремого ряду Betula pendula на середні висоту і діаметр дерев Pinus sylvestris у 6-рядній кулісі за окремими рядами, у визначенні оптимальної кількості рядів у кулісі сосни за певної ширини міжрядь, на які поширювався би позитивний вплив берези.  

Сосна звичайна в умовах свіжих борів внаслідок бідності лісорослинних умов не може нагромаджувати високих запасів стовбурової деревини, зростаючи за ІІІ класом бонітету. Винятком є борові типи, ближчі за лісорослинним ефектом до суборів, або за близькою до оптимальної участю берези в складі, де сосна може рости за ІІ класом бонітету.

Встановлено, що в умовах свіжого соснового бору вплив берези повислої на ріст сосни звичайної позитивний. Основну роль відіграють прийнята схема змішування, ширина міжрядь та кількість рядів сосни у кулісі, від чого залежить відстань поширення позитивного впливу берези на хвойну породу.

В умовах А2 за 2-метрової ширини міжрядь позитивний вплив берези поширюється на чотири ряди сосни, тобто при запровадженні схеми змішування 1р.Бп 4р.Сз. При цьому ширина куліси сягає 10 м. З урахуванням відстані, на яку поширюється позитивний вплив берези, за 1,5-метрової ширини міжрядь рекомендована схема змішування матиме наступний вигляд – 1р.Бп 6р.Сз.

Published: April 2022

Розроблені на основі середніх значень діаметра, висоти та відносної повноти букових деревостанів моделі адекватно описують залежність компонентів надземної фітомаси дерев бука лісового в типах лісорослинних умов С3 та D3. Показники загальної біопродуктивності у досліджуваних типах лісорослинних умов мають близькі значення, але істотно відрізняються структурою компонентів надземної фітомаси стовбурів деревостану. Встановлено, що модальні букові деревостани у властивих їм типах лісу в ТЛУ D3 незначно переважають аналогічні в ТЛУ С3 за такими таксаційними показниками деревостанів, як середня висота, середній діаметр, сума площ поперечного перетину, загальний запас деревини. Також виявлено, що в ТЛУ D3 вищі значення притаманні фітомасі стовбура та фітомасі стовбура у корі. Сумарні значення фітомаси гілок у корі у ТЛУ D3 є вищими, порівняно із  ТЛУ C3,  у віці 1-20 років, а від 21 до 100 років вищі значення виявлено у ТЛУ C3. З’ясовано, що загальна біопродуктивність до 70 років є вищою у ТЛУ D3. Загальна надземна стовбурова фітомаса букових деревостанів на досліджуваній території становить 24592775 т, зокрема найбільшу частку становлять середньовікові деревостани – 51,2% . Зважаючи на нерівномірний розподіл площ деревостанів за групами віку, зі зростанням віку деревостану збільшується їхня відносна частка у загальній біопродуктивності. Найбільшу частку у загальній біопродуктивності надземної частини дерева становить фітомаса стовбура (74,1%), гілок (17,5%), кори стовбура (3,9%), листя (3,4%) та кора гілок (1,1%). У розрізі вікових груп фітомаса стовбура зі збільшенням віку деревостану зростає. Так само збільшується значення частки стовбура у корі – від 73,5 до 78,9%. Частка гілок у корі з віком, навпаки, зменшується – від 22,4 до 17,9%.

Written communicative expertise
Authors: Skopal Dana P.
Published: April 2022

Good communication skills are seen as a requirement for many professions and form part of a professional's expertise. Focusing on writing skills, this paper draws on research into the production and reception of public information documents (PIDs) in Australia. To triangulate data from three sources, a multi-perspective framework was adopted. First, the document writers in the organisations were interviewed, and second, the PIDs’ reception was explored through readability testing with members of the public. The third perspective involved analysing the semiotic resource, the published PIDs themselves. Research data revealed that organisational authors adopted specific writing processes and understood that their documents targeted a diverse audience. However, although the content of the documents was accurate, most reader-participants did not find them easy to understand. Building on these preliminary findings, this paper investigates the context and processes of professional writing in the workplace and related connections to the concept of written communicative expertise. I link my findings to issues encountered in my work as a communication consultant. These links highlight the importance of fostering connections between linguists, content area experts and managers in organisations to improve our understanding and training in the skillsets that lead to written communicative expertise.
The Potential of Fluorescence Imaging to Distinguish Insect Pest and Non-pest Species
Authors: Shortall Chris R. , Perryman Sarah A. M. , Halsey Kirstie , West Jon S.
Published: April 2022

Studying the presence and movement of insects is important in biological research for practical purposes regarding control of pests and environmental monitoring. Detection of insects by conventional trapping (e.g. the Rothamsted Insect Survey) and tracking technologies (e.g. the Rothamsted
Radar Entomology Unit) have been effective for monitoring and forecasting pest migration but often require significant investment in capital costs and/or staff time. Insect detection using imaging of natural fluorescence (without additional fluorescent dyes) has been considered less, and much
of the work on natural fluorescence in the animal world has been on marine organisms. Work on terrestrial arthropods has been more limited and restricted primarily to non-insect arthropods. Very early work on the distribution of fluorescent pigments in butterflies was demonstrated using long
wave mercury vapour lamps followed by more work in the 1950s on butterflies, arthropods; including beetles, spiders and millipedes, cockroaches and eggs of Orthoptera. These studies often involved qualitative approaches; dissecting the animals and investigating internal organs and fluids for
fluorescence as well as whole body studies. More recent studies have included quantitative work on butterflies and pest insects plus fluorescence studies in damselflies, moths, millipedes, bees and spiders. Fluorescence in juvenile stages is a property used for detection of flies and beetles
in food stuffs. The vast majority of insects, however, have not been investigated for fluorescence and even in those taxa that have been studied, e.g. butterflies, the dataset is incomplete. The easiest way to observe fluorescence is to illuminate a subject with a known waveband of light in
otherwise darkness and view or record an image via a filter that blocks the wavelength of the illuminating light. Any light viewed or captured at a different wavelength to the illumination, must have been produced by fluorescence. In contrast, some living organisms themselves can produce light
or luminescence by internal chemical means. This work aimed to look at the potential of using natural fluorescence to detect and identify insects, particularly pests.
Integrated Pest Management in Action – Derogation for Use of the Neonicotinoid, Thiamethoxam in Sugar Beet in 2022
Authors: Dewar Alan M.
Published: April 2022

In his days as an employed person the author, working as an entomologist at Broom's Barn Sugar Beet Research Centre (1984–2006), his job was to assess the efficacy of the various neonicotinoid seed treatments that were coming through development from various companies. Subsequently
the best of these, imidacloprid initially, followed a few years later by clothianidin and thiamethoxam, were registered for use in sugar beet, and they revolutionised pest control in that crop in the UK and across Europe. They displaced older chemicals such as the carbamate granules aldicarb,
benfuracarb, carbofuran and furathiocarb; they displaced even older sprays such as the organochlorine, gamma HCH. They reduced the need for sprays to control aphids and other early season foliar pests such as leaf miners (Pegomya betae). Neonicotinoids effectively did him out of a job
in the end, and his team was disbanded in 2006. However, he is not bitter. They helped the sugar beet industry take control of the myriad of pests that affected this vulnerable crop, and I felt it was a job well done. During the time that we were assessing these novel treatments, He tried
very hard to persuade the sugar beet industry to consider an IPM approach to their use, partly because he was worried that the widespread use of the active ingredients as insurance treatments might result in selection for resistance in the targeted pests, especially the aphids. He even produced
a model to support the approach, which would have allowed forecasts to be made as early as mid-February. Unfortunately, the powers that be at the time did not agree with him, and proceeded to introduce the seed treatments without consideration of need. Back then, the seed treatment process
required the seed to be treated in December, or January at the latest, before any accurate forecast could be made, especially for control of aphids. The sugar beet crop back then was also grown on over 200,000 ha, double the hectarage of today. The decrease in area grown in the UK was due
to changes in the EU sugar regime, that resulted in reduced prices, and greater competition from other crops, which gave and still give higher returns. How times change. Here we are 20 years later with better seed treatment technology in place that allows precisely what we were trying to do
back in the 1990s, namely to make treated seed available only if the forecast for national virus yellows infection is above an acceptable threshold for use. He thinks it is ironical that it took an epidemic of virus yellows in 2020 to persuade the sugar beet industry that this could and should
be done, and that neonicotinoids could be employed using IPM principles. Thankfully the government has agreed that this is an acceptable practice with a banned chemical when effective alternatives are not available.

ABSTRACT: Dog bite is one of the major public health problems involving people worldwide. Although, several studies have investigated this phenomenon in different countries, little information about the incidence of dog bite episodes in Italy is available. We analysed data about dog biting events between 2010 and 2019 provided by the CRIUV, the Regional Reference Centre for Veterinary Urban Hygiene in the largest city of Southern Italy, namely. Naples. We observed severe and profound inconsistencies in the data collection that reveal structural and significant weaknesses of the current data collection system. Given the multifactorial nature of dog bite, we highlight the need to improve the gathering of all the information related to the factors affecting the occurrence of biting episodes for an accurate assessment of the biting phenomenon.

В статье рассмотрены проблемы охраны интеллектуальной собственности в социальных сетях и на стриминговых платформах, а также поднимаются вопросы защиты интеллектуальных прав пользователей информационных ресурсов. Автор исследует потенциал диджитал-компаний как субъектов саморегулируемого цифрового пространства в снижении уровня нарушений интересов правообладателей результатов интеллектуальной деятельности, размещаемых в интернете. Цель данного исследования — поиск эффективного механизма регулирования, существующего внутри социальных сетей и стриминговых платформ, порядка рассмотрения обращений пользователей по поводу неправомерного использования интеллектуальной собственности третьими лицами. В этой связи автор анализирует действующее законодательство на предмет существования основы легальности и легитимности мер, принимаемых информационными площадками в качестве мер пресечения нарушений интересов правообладателей и наложения мер ответственности на лиц, осуществляющих неправомерные посягательства.

В результате исследования автор приходит к выводу, что для надлежащего функционирования механизма рассмотрения администраторами информационных платформ обращений пользователей необходимо разработать специальные нормы, требующие от IT-компаний следования стандартам и принципам процессуального характера.
ОСОБЕННОСТИ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ ОБЪЕКТОВ ИЗО И ФОТОГРАФИЙ В СМИ, СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ СЕТЯХ И ИНЫХ ИСТОЧНИКАХ РАСПРОСТРАНЕНИЯ ИНФОРМАЦИИ

Сегодня кажется совершенно обыденным делать фотографии исторических памятников, городских скульптур, художественных картин в музеях. Все перечисленные произведения относятся к объектам изобразительного искусства. Вместе с тем мало кто задумывается, насколько правомерно впоследствии использовать снятые фотографии: можно ли их размещать в социальных сетях на своих персональных страницах? Допустимо ли печатать такие фотографии в средствах массовой информации? Можно ли производить на основе этих снимков товары широкого потребления (футболки, брелоки, значки, открытки и т. п.) и т. д.?  

Как выясняется, с точки зрения действующего законодательства все не так просто. В последнее время отмечается возросшее количество судебных дел по данной проблематике. Этот вопрос стал предметом обсуждения на одном из заседаний Научно-консультационного совета Суда по интеллектуальным правам [1, c. 11].

Некоторым странам известен такой режим свободного использования произведений ИЗО, как panorama exception, или freedom of panorama, который предполагает бездоговорное использование произведений ИЗО, т.е. без разрешения авторов (правообладателей), которые постоянно находятся в общественных местах.

Гражданский кодекс РФ также предусматривает свободное использование произведений ИЗО, которые открыто расположены в общественных местах: парки, улицы, музеи и т. д. Вместе с тем свободное использование путем воспроизведения и распространения, в том числе на фотографии, возможно лишь при соблюдении определенных условий. В противном случае пользователю необходимо обращаться за разрешением к правообладателю.

Кроме того, в случаях если объект, в котором выражено произведение ИЗО (картина, скульптура, гравюра и т.п.), принадлежит на праве собственности музею, включен в состав Музейного фонда Российской Федерации и находится в музеях Российской Федерации, также необходимо запрашивать разрешение у музея. Несоблюдение этих требований приводит к нарушению прав как правообладателей, так и музеев.

В статье проанализированы особенности воспроизведения и распространения произведений ИЗО в СМИ, социальных сетях и иных источниках распространения информации в соответствии с законодательством Российской Федерации. Рассмотрены подходы к свободному использованию произведений в некоторых иностранных юрисдикциях.
Malaysian Nature Education in Pre-school (MyNEPS) Intervention: Pre And Post Assessment
Authors: Mohd Taib Farah Shafawati
Published: April 2022

Malaysian Nature Education in Preschool (MyNEPs) is an initiative to incorporate nature education in the preschool syllabus. It involves learning and hands-on practice in a natural environment setting on five nature elements (climate, flora, fauna, insects, and microbes). This research aims to assess the efficacy of the MyNEPs module towards preschool children through pre-, intervention, and post-assessment. This research adopted an experimental ISSN : 1985-5826 AJTLHE Vol.13, No.1, June 2021, 41-59 42 research design using quantitative approaches. A total of 29 preschool children from Bangi, Selangor were involved in this study. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics involving normality tests and paired sample t-test. The data normality was measured using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the result indicated that the data is normally distributed where p=0.072 > 0.05. The overall t-test result shows significant differences (p=0.006) between pre- and post-achievement, with the total mean of post-test was higher with 35.90 than pre-test achievement with 33.59. This result indicated that this module significantly contributes to children's performance on nature prior to the intervention program. As a result, this study shows that the nature education program proposed has improved preschool children's knowledge of the natural environment. Nature education is essential to enhance creativity, problem-solving, and cognitive abilities, thus improving academic performance and setting a strong foundation for science and technology. Therefore, it is suggested that the MyNEPs module should be applied to all preschools premises in Malaysia. Keywords: Assessment, intervention, MyNEPs, Nature education, preschools

Active learning commonly entails learning techniques that engage students in the learning process. Two important elements of active learning are student activity and student engagement. The objective of this paper is to establish the effectiveness of an Active Learning framework based on multiple approaches to increase student engagement. This research utilizes three techniques that were blended together to optimize the effect of the three important elements of active learning, which are Bring Your Own Device Learning (BYODL), Project Based Learning (PPBL) and Gamification Learning (GL). At the start of the PPBL active learning process, students were grouped in five to six team members and each group was given a specific project to be submitted towards the end of the semester. All assignments were uploaded in the I-Folio system for easy references. For the purpose of continuous BYODL and GL learning, students were given online attendance with QR code scan and questions from previous lessons via Google form at the beginning of each lesson to promote active learning. During the lesson, students were given short quizzes via Kahoot application and PBL question with snapshot answers via Google form and I-Folio assignment system. The results show that these techniques were found to be effective in increasing students’ engagement and involvement in active learning. In conclusion, the framework that blends three approaches together has effectively optimized active learning with more than 90% students’ engagement rate and have proven to be constructive to boost students’ engagement and involvement in active learning.
The First Edition of “The Justification of Good” (1897): the Responses by Contemporaries. Part One
Authors: Mezhuev B.V.
Published: April 2022

This article presents the first historiographical attempt to examine and analyze systematically all the newspaper and journal responses to the first edition of the basic treatise on the moral philosophy by Vl. Soloviev – The Justification of Good (1897). The first part of the article examines the positive reviews of the book that were submitted or published by the closest friends of the philosopher, supposedly, at his personal request. The analysis of the responses allows us to conclude that The Justification of Good was generally received by the Russian readership unfavorably. The reason for this was a problem of assigning the philosopher to one or another camp of Russian thought. Vl. Soloviev’s moral metaphysics and especially his socio-political views did not satisfy either liberals or conservatives, much less representatives of the radical left movements in social thought. The article notes that among the closest friends of Vl. Soloviev who gave a positive review of this treatise only E.L. Radlov was ready to accept the philosophical conception contained in The Justification of Good and support Soloviev in his polemic with the ethical views of Leo Tolstoy. Additionally, an examination of the positive reviews of The Justification of the Good is also important, because their authors as Soloviev’s friends could interpret some of the most difficult theses of the book based on the explanation given by the philosopher himself. It is possible to suppose that in preparing to publish his new philosophical work Vl. Soloviev expected that the first sympathetic reviews would contribute to a correct perception of his moral philosophy in Russian society.
Dante’s and Solovyov’s Apocalyptic Images as Stylistic Counterpoints in the Era of Change
Authors: Volkov Y.K.
Published: April 2022

Following the example of Dante’s apocalyptic images in the “Divine Comedy” and Vladimir Solovyov’s “A Short Story of Antichrist”, this article takes into consideration the ideological and artistic elements of the counterpoint – the latter being meant as a simultaneous confrontation and combination of styles from different historical epochs. For this purpose, a given stylistic version of the cross-cultural method is adopted. As a result of it, the author demonstrates that the “Divine Comedy” belongs to the Italian proto-Renaissance style, in which, along with the traditions of medieval culture, the stylistic features of Renaissance and Modern times are forming. The conclusion is that the authorial style of Dante’s eschatology is the style of the prophet and judge of humanity who proclaims the continuation of its eternal life. In the same way, the authorial strategy of Solovyov’s last work may be also attributed to a stylization of the prophetic genre that was typical of the Russian culture of the late 19th and early 20th century. Despite all this, Solovyov’s apocalyptic images do not have a clearly formulated idea concerning the coming salvation – which should be mandatory for the Christian eschatology, – but they only formulate in a new way a prediction regarding the inevitable continuation of great wars, coups and civil strives on the path leading to the end of history. In this transitional stage full of malice, lies and deceit, only the traditional Christian ideal of unselfish love and spiritual unity, which Solovyov employs within the framework of a new artistic style, is endowed with the ability to preserve its timeless value. The overall result of the comparison of the historical style of John’s Revelation with the two subsequent stylizations of apocalyptic images is a confirmation of the existence of a cultural self-development that manifests itself in the iconic works of the era of change.
Ideas of Conventionalism in Russian Science and Philosophy
Authors: Karavaev E.F. , Kolomiytsev S.Y.
Published: April 2022

The paper examines the conventionalism that arose within the framework of the second positivism in European philosophy at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, in connection with Russian science and philosophy. Despite its being popular and developed mainly in Western philosophy, we demonstrate that its ideas were also reflected in Russian culture. Moreover, we argue that it was the achievements of Russian mathematicians that influenced the emergence of this direction in European philosophy. To determine the place of conventionalism in Russian culture, the works of such scientists, philosophers and historians of science as A. Poincaré, N.V. Efimov, G.V. Florovsky, P.S. Yushkevich and others were used. The article also provides an overview of their main works and ideas. The analysis also deals with the influence of ideological and political factors on the development of philosophy in the XX century in Russia and the USSR. It is shown that the achievements of Russian mathematicians had a significant influence on the emergence of conventionalism, and the ideas of conventionalism, in turn, were reflected in the concepts of Russian thinkers concerning the philosophy of science and the philosophy of history. Thus, N.I. Lobachevsky can be called a harbinger of mathematical conventionalism, some ideas of P.S. Yushkevich and A.A. Bogdanov can be referred to natural-scientific conventionalism, and some ideas of G.V. Florovsky can be called historical conventionalism. We conclude that Russian science, firstly, was one of the reasons for the emergence of conventionalism in Europe, and secondly, Russian philosophy adopted and applied some of its ideas, in particular, concerning the impossibility of complete knowledge of the world or the relativity of ways of expressing truth, which remain relevant today.
The Work of Charles Baudelaire in the Scientific Heritage of I.S. Prikhodko
Authors: Maksimov M.V.
Published: April 2022

The following essay examines the understanding and interpretation of Charles Baudelaire’s works in those of Irina Stepanovna Prikhodko. An analysis is given of the main stages in the investigations of the poet’s work. Accordingly, we look at how V.Ya. Bryusov and A.A. Blok received Baudelaire’s legacy; the understanding of the philosophical and aesthetic principles involved as well as the sources of Baudelaire’s poetic inspiration. The special attention of I.S. Prikhodko to Dante’s work and his Divine Comedy as the primary source of Baudelaire’s world view is also emphasized. An analysis is also given of the assessments of the poet’s work by writers and critics in the past in addition to contemporary foreign and Russian investigators. This essay also notes I.S. Prikhodko’s view of the least studied aspects of Baudelaire’s literary corpus and, in particular, the irrational principle in his work
