Abstract Invasive species impact native wildlife in several ways, as they compete for resources and may transmit their specific pathogens. However, the potential consequences of co-introduced parasites are not fully understood. While the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) was introduced in Chile about a century ago, no data are available regarding its parasites. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the parasitic fauna of this avian invader and to determine whether there are co-introduced/co-invasive parasites shared with native birds. One hundred and eight birds were collected from three different localities in the Ñuble region of Chile, and a complete parasitic necropsy was performed in the laboratory. Twenty-three (21.3%) were parasitized by six arthropod species and four (3.7%) were parasitized by two helminth species. Four out of eight taxa are reported for the first time in Chile; among them, three arthropod parasites and the tapeworm, Anonchotaenia globate, are considered as co-introduced parasites. Only A. globata is a potential co-invasive parasite given its low degree specificity in terms of its definitive hosts. Future research should examine whether additional co-introduced/co-invasive parasites have been brought by the house sparrow, and what their potential consequences might be on the health of native birds in Chile.

Durability aspects and mechanical strength of mortars containing glass powder and slag
Authors: Elbahi Boubakeur seddik , Zeghichi Leila
Published: August 2021

The combination of glass powder (GP) with pozzolanic additions to replace clinker can develop new types of binders (ternary cement) with improved physical and mechanical properties, thereby enabling a reduction in consumption of clinker and natural resources, and the minimisation of the carbon dioxide emissions. In this context, the present work is an attempt to study the influence of GP with two different specific surface areas (Blaine) GP30 = 300 m2/kg and GP45 = 450 m2/kg, combined with slag, on the mechanical behaviour and durability of mortars. The mechanical properties were investigated using compressive and flexural strength tests. Aspects related to durability were examined as well by water-accessible porosity, capillary absorption and sorptivity tests. The replacement rate of cement by GP varied from 10 to 20% and the proportion of slag was fixed at 10%. The results showed that a binary mortar made with 20% GP45 replacement showed increases in 90 day compressive strength, while ternary mortar with 20% GP45 + 10% slag replacement gave the best result. The same trend is also valid for durability properties examined in this study. The combined use of GP and slag at 30% replacement levels seemed to perform better compared with using GP alone.

Published: August 2021

Nanoparticles encapsulating different kinds of therapeutic drugs are promising drug delivery systems for controlling release and targeting tumor cells. Chitosan nanoparticles made by polyelectrolyte complexation were designed as drug carriers using doxorubicin (DOX)/5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as hydrophobic/hydrophilic model drugs. The sizes of nanoparticles were 235 ± 13 and 177 ± 7 nm with narrow distributions. The effects of the initial drug amount and pH of the medium on drug-controlled release properties were evaluated, the model-fitting results and release mechanisms were analyzed as well. For 5-FU-loaded chitosan nanoparticles, the controlled-release effect was superior to that of DOX, indicating that the polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles were more suitable for hydrophilic drugs, particularly for negatively charged or electrically neutral drugs. Moreover, the release behaviors conformed with the first-order kinetic model, indicating that the nanoparticles were mainly released by diffusion during the drug release process; the system could also be fitted using the Higuchi model, showing that the entire drug release process was dominated by diffusion and supplemented by gradual dissolution. In all, the results suggested that chitosan nanoparticles made by polyelectrolyte complexation can be launched as a smart drug delivery system for cancer treatments.
Is There Any Rationale for Detecting Hormone Receptor/HER2 Status with Rebiopsy Without Progression Upfront Metastatic Breast Cancer? with 2 Cases
Authors: BB Duman , T Cil
Published: August 2021

Alteration of biomarkers is well-documented in breast cancer at locoregional recurrence or metastasis attributed to tumor heterogeneity and change in biology. There is some data about discordance between primary and metastatic sites. At the same time hormone, receptor status can change after neoadjuvant treatment and at the time of recurrence. Metastatic breast cancer without progression or recurrence after the targeted chemotherapy combination for planning maintenance therapy in Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression positive hormone receptors positive or triple-negative patient after chemotherapy. In guidelines, the time of rebiopsy has no exact time, if the time of biopsy is usually after the progression of the tumor. We presented cases in which we detected different hormone receptor statuses from the beginning without progression and before deciding on maintenance therapy. This subject is important for deciding therapy in the aspect of heterogeneous tumors like breast cancer. The important decision of rebiopsy time is debate. In this aspect, these two cases are important examples for these kinds of patients tumor heterogeneity in breast cancer is one of the most widely known entities. We found that two patients, one of whom was estrogen progesterone receptor negative HER2 3 (+++) at the time of diagnosis and the other who was triple negative at the time of diagnosis, had positive hormone receptors in the re-biopsies without progression. We aimed to discuss the tumor heterogeneity and timing of rebiopsy in breast cancer in the light of two cases.

Despite the best efforts of programmers to create high-quality software, some errors inevitably escape even the most rigorous testing process and are first encountered by end users of the software. When this happens, developers need to quickly understand the reasons for the errors that occurred and eliminate them. Back in 1951, at the dawn of modern computing, Stanley Gill wrote that special attention should be paid to those errors that occur after the program is started, and lead to its termination. Gill is considered the founder of the so-called postmortem debugging, when a program or system is modified to record its state at the time of failure, so that the programmer can later understand what happened and why such a situation occurred. Since then, postmortem debugging technology has been used in many different systems, including all major general-purpose operating systems (OS), as well as specialized OS such as embedded systems and real-time systems. To ensure the high level of reliability expected from such critical systems, it is necessary, on the one hand, to implement the possibility of rapid recovery of the system or its part after a failure. On the other hand, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for storing as much information as possible after each failure, so that the cause of its occurrence can be determined later. To understand the real potential of postmortem debugging tools, we will first consider the current state of debugging methods and the role of postmortem analysis tools, as well as the requirements for postmortem debugging tools for critical systems. Next, we will describe the mechanism of postmortem debugging implemented by the authors in the RTOS Baget and formulate tasks for further development.

The article presents a description of a software package for calculating displacement rates and detecting displacements of the earths surface over areas of intensive coal mining. The complex is built on the basis of the microservice architecture Docker Swarm in integration with the system of massively parallel execution of tasks Apache Spark, as a high-level tool for organizing container-type computations with orchestration of hardware resources. In the software package, the container is used as an element of the sequence of calculation stages of the mathematical model of interferometric processing, presented in the form of a managed service. The service itself is built on the basis of a microkernel of the specified operating system, with support for multitasking of process identifiers and network protocols. Due to the use of containerization of executor objects, the independence of calculations is achieved both within one pool of jobs and between different pools initialized in multi-user mode. The use of the cluster resource manage­ment system and YARN job scheduling made it possible to abstract all the computing resources of the cluster from the specific launch of jobs and to provide dispatching of distributed processing applications. The use in the program code based on the Sentinel-1 Toolbox of the possibility of storing the intermediate results of the operation of procedures in the schemes for calculating the displacement rates makes it possible to carry out calculations with various parameters, and parallelization provides a reduction in the calculation time in comparison with commercial software products. The combination of Docker Swarm and Apache Spark technologies in one software package made it possible to implement the idea of a high-performance computing system based on open source software and cross-platform programming languages Java and Python using low-budget hardware blocks, including those made in Russia.
Improving the Efficiency of Calculating B-splines in parallel Programming Tasks
Authors:   Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute, Zhukovsky, 140181, Russian Federation, Nikolaev P. M.
Published: August 2021

The use of parallel computing tools can significantly reduce the execution time of calculations in many engineer­ing tasks. One of the main difficulties in the development of multithreaded programs remains the organization of simultaneous access from different threads to shared data. The most common solution to this problem is to use locking facilities when accessing shared data. There are a number of tasks where data sharing is not needed, but you need to synchronize access to a limited resource, such as a temporary buffer. In such tasks, there is no data exchange between different threads, but there is an object that at a given time can be used by the code of only one thread. One such task is calculating the value of a B-spline. The software implementation of the functions for calculating B-splines, performed according to classical algorithms, requires the use of blocking objects when accessing the common array of intermediate data from different threads. This reduces the degree of parallelism and reduces the efficiency of computational programs using B-splines running on multiprocessor computing systems. The article discusses a way to improve the efficiency of calculating B-splines in parallel programming tasks by eliminating locks when accessing general modified data. A soft­ware implementation is presented in the form of a C++ class template, which provides placement of a temporary array used for calculating a B-spline into a local buffer of a given size with the possibility of increasing it if necessary. Using the developed template in conjunction with the threadlocal qualifier reduces the number of requests for increasing the buffer for high degree B-splines (larger than the initially specified buffer size). It is also possible to implement this scheme using the std::vector template of the C++ STL Standard Library. The results of the application of the developed class when calculating the values of B-splines in a multithreaded environment, showing a reduction in the calculation time in proportion to an increase in the number of computational processors, are presented. The methods of specifying arrays for storing intermediate calculation results considered in this article can be used in other parallel programming tasks.

Published: August 2021

Dysmenorrhoea and intermenstrual pelvic pain are the most common symptoms of clinical manifestations of adenomyosis, which significantly impair the quality of women’s life. Adequate and long-term pain correction and alternative therapeutic approaches became extremely important for patients with adenomyosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research objective: to examine the clinical efficacy of nitric oxide donor (L-arginine) in the complex treatment of pelvic pain syndrome associated with adenomyosis.Materials and methods. The study included 63 women diagnosed with adenomyosis. Patients were divided into 2 groups by simple randomization: I (D) group (n = 31) received dydrogesterone 30 mg from 5 to 25 days of the menstrual cycle, II (D+T) group (n = 32) in addition to dydrogesterone received a nitric oxide donor L-arginine (Тivortin) according to the scheme. Pelvic pain was assessed before treatment with a Visual Analogue Scale and a McGill Pain Questionnaire, and an assessment of the overall pain impact on women's well-being was based on the SF-36 Health Status Survey. The effectiveness of pelvic pain therapy was assessed after the first and third months of treatment, as well as three months after the end of therapy with the above methods.Results. Researchers achieved a therapeutic effect in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain in both study groups, but in group II (D + T) after 3 months of treatment there was a significant reduction in pelvic pain, while patients of the standard therapy group have prolonged progestogen intake. There was a further improvement in the clinical condition in group I (D) after 6 months of follow-up, as well as no recurrence of pain in group II (D + T).Conclusions. The results of study demonstrate a significant effect of Tivortin as part of complex therapy on the rate of achievement and duration of therapeutic effect in the treatment of pelvic pain associated with adenomyosis.
CVD-COMPOSITES AND SALINE SOLUTIONS-MELTS: SIMILARITY AND DIFFERENCES
Authors: Zinchenko V.F. , Menchuk V.V.
Published: August 2021

The general features and specific peculiarities of the thermodynamics of the processes occurring during the evaporation of CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) – composites based on germanium – metal chalcogenide systems and dissolution of poorly soluble compounds in salt melts are considered. The essence of both processes consists in the occurrence of exchange reactions between the initial components with the formation of highly volatile substances in the first case and highly soluble compounds in the second. Both processes are endothermic in their thermochemical essence, and their course is facilitated by the entropy component, the role of which increases with increasing temperature, deepening of the vacuum in the case of CVD composites, and dilution of the saline solution – melt. The peculiarities due to the difference between vacuum and salt melt in nature have also been established. If the interaction of molecules in a rarefied molecular vapor of evaporation products can be practically neglected, then in a salt solution-melt, as in a highly concentrated system, secondary reactions of complexation of ions and molecules of the dissolved compound and the main ions of the melt are characteristic. The latter factor significantly affects the solubility in the salt melt due to the shift in equilibrium. Kinetic factors, which differ significantly in both processes, are essential in the reverse reactions of condensation of a CVD‑composite vapor on a substrate and in the deposition of crystals during the crystallization of a solute from a salt melt. Due to the much higher rate of vapor condensation on the substrate, more significant vapor saturation is achieved and, accordingly, the nucleation rate than during crystallization of the salt melt. Therefore, the probability of nanostructuring or complete amorphization of a coating obtained from a CVD‑composite is much higher than for a salt solution-melt, in which the ability to form nanostructures is more limited.
A Bloody Solidarity: Nguyen Thai Binh and the Vietnamese Antiwar Movement in the Long Sixties
Authors: Tran Ann
Published: August 2021

This paper uncovers the history of antiwar activist Nguyen Thai Binh and the birth of the Union of Vietnamese after his death. As a former student at the University of Washington, Seattle, Binh participated in numerous antiwar protests against the U.S. military and imperialist government. On July 2, 1972, he hijacked Pan Am Flight 841 headed to Tan Son Nhut airport to protest American bombings of North Vietnam, but was assassinated in the attempt. Amidst the broiling anti-war movements of the 1960s and early 1970s, the Union of Vietnamese was the only group of Vietnamese in America to organize against the war following Binh’s death, suggesting the unique positionality of Vietnamese students and early immigrants among other marginalized groups in their struggles for liberation. In this paper, I reference the works of scholars Karen Ishizuka and Sylvia Shin Huey Chong to compare different methodological approaches to writing about the Asian American antiwar movement. Their texts frame my discussions of the invisibility of the Vietnamese antiwar narrative, the cross-cultural alliances that formed from political convergences, and the orientalist perception of the Vietnamese body. Thus, I argue that Nguyen Thai Binh’s activism and the Union of Vietnamese demonstrate a departure from the predominantly non-Vietnamese antiwar historiography. Through my analysis of letters, pamphlets, and government documents, I consider the ways in which Binh’s fatal devotion to ending American brutality in Vietnam and the Vietnamese antiwar movement both challenge American perceptions of race and ethnicity and critique the violent militarism of the war in Vietnam.
On Integral Metrics and Trajectory Classification
Authors: Vernor Lilly
Published: August 2021

In this project, we explore distance in the context of metrics. More specifically, we take a look at an integral metric that is used to determine the distance between sets. The motivation behind this project is to determine that the integral metric we use is meaningful in the context of our data set. The data set we useconsists of trajectories of cars along a portion of the I5 highway. Through training, testing, and evaluating this model on the data set, we can reach conclusions on the structure of the data and the success of this integral metric in terms of a classifier. In the end, we can both determine whether or not this integral metric fits with the data set chosen and explore other areas where the metric could possibly succeed or where it might fail.
Written Language of Children with Specific Language Impairment
Authors: Nallamala Kavi
Published: August 2021

Writing is an important academically and socially related language skill. However, few researchers have analyzed the written language samples of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). It is unknown if children with SLI produce different types of written language errors than children with typical language (TL). The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of the writing patterns of children with Specific Language Impairment. Specifically, this study analyzed the morphosyntactic and syntactic errors that children with SLI make and if they differ from the errors made by children with TL. Writing samples of children ages 7 to 10 were collected. The SLI group was determined by norm-referenced language assessments such as the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals – Fourth Edition. These samples were coded for errors based on a coding manual created by the authors of this study. Results revealed that children with SLI make more overall errors in complex sentences than children with TL. The errors made by children with SLI were syntactic word level errors, such as the addition or omission of one word. However, there was not a significant difference between the morphological errors made in writing samples of children with SLI and children with TL. The large age range of children within our SLI group may have impacted our conclusion that morphosyntax may not be a critical marker of SLI in children.

​Acknowledging Women’s When Gender Diversity in Foxnut Cultivation Makes More Productive
Authors: Shimran Khushboo , Choudhary Renu
Published: August 2021

Foxnut (Euryale ferox) is considered an aquatic cash crop in India. It is one of the important states of India for the production of makhana. It is cultivated in several districts in North Bihar, where it is the main support for the livelihood of the poor people. Foxnut is mainly cultivated and processed by the fishing community. Studies on women in makhana production conducted in India and other countries concluded that women contribute far more to the production and processing. The involvements of women in growing foxnuts are impoverished and backward. Women with whole family members are occupied for generations and have acquired unique skills in processing which determines the quality of Makhana pop. Women also perform numerous labor-intensive activities such as weeding, collections, cleaning, drying, gradation, roasting, frying, popping, rubbing, storage and transportation. They also engaged in trading of guris and makhana pop and wages laborers for support in family income and livelihood.

Kanser, tüm dünyada sıklıkla görülen, bireyi hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik olarak etkileyebilen yaşamı tehdit edici bir hastalıktır. Kanser tanısı konulmasından yaşamın sonuna kadar olan ve sağkalım sürecini de içeren kanser yaşantısında, kanserin geri dönebileceğine veya ilerleyebileceğine dair endişeyi ifade eden nüks korkusu, bireylerin ve bakım verenlerinin en sık karşı karşıya kaldığı psikolojik sorunlardan biridir. Nüks korkusu klinik düzeye ulaştığında, bireyler ve bakım verenler üzerinde yaşam kalitesinde azalma, işlevsellikte bozulma, rol performansında yetersizlik gibi olumsuz etkiler oluşturabilmektedir. Bu süreçte bireyin farkındalık düzeyini oldukça artıran üstbiliş kavramı, bireyin algılamaları ve yorumlamalarının yanı sıra hastalık sürecinden olumlu ya da olumsuz etkilenme olasılığını etkileyebilmektedir. Ayrıca ruh sağlığında koruyucu ve geliştirici bir faktör olan psikolojik sağlamlık kavramı da bu süreçte kişinin süreçten daha az zarar görmesini sağlayabilmekte ve iyi oluşluğunu artırabilmektedir. Bu sayede birey baş etme sistemlerini daha etkin kullanabilmekte ve süreci daha iyi yönetebilmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, kanser sürecinde bireyin süreçten en az düzeyde zarar görmesini ve iyi oluşluğunu sağlamak üzere incelenmesi gereken üstbilişler, psikolojik sağlamlık ve nüks korkusu kavramlarının kanser süreci ile ilişkisinin açıklanması ve sürece etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir.

Accompanying the Path of Maternity: The Life History of a Colombian Doula
Authors: Suárez-Baquero Daniel F. M. , Champion Jane Dimmitt
Published: August 2021

Doulas have fundamentally improved the health-care experience of pregnant women internationally. Women who recognize the importance of not being alone during pregnancy have embraced this role for centuries. However, less is known about doulas practicing in countries experiencing health inequities like Colombia. Miller's methodology and Atkinson's interview domain was used to answer the question “What life experiences led a Colombian woman to become a doula?” A central theme emerged, “A calling from within: Growing up to accompany the transition from woman to mother.” The path to becoming a doula evolved from life experiences involving health inequities, and a sense of femininity, maternity, and the women's role in rural Colombia.
Perinatal Nurses Respond to Shared Decision-Making Education: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Furr Ashley , Brackney Dana E. , Turpin Rebecca L.
Published: August 2021

Women describe a loss of autonomy during childbirth as a contributing factor to labor dissatisfaction. Shared decision-making with choice, option, and decision talk may improve satisfaction. Nurses (n = 29) received education on supporting women's autonomy with a standardized communication tool (SUPPORT) to facilitate shared decision-making and create an evolving birth plan. This quasi-experimental pre-/post-test design evaluated participant responses to the education module. Participants supported the use of the SUPPORT tool for shared decision-making and developing evolving birth plans. Most recommended initiation between 13- and 26-weeks' gestation. Nurses' willingness to advocate for women's autonomy increased significantly after education (p = .022). Shared decision-making with standardized perinatal communication may support a woman's perinatal education and her satisfaction with labor.

Optimization of the Main Landing Gear Structure of LSU-02NGLD
Authors: Wandono Fajar Ari
Published: August 2021

The mass of the landing gear structure becomes an important aspect of the total mass of the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). Therefore, many efforts have been made to reduce the mass of the landing gear by performing structural optimization. Reducing the mass of the landing gear structure can be used as a substitute to increase the payload on the UAV. The landing gear structure in this paper is the main landing gear of LSU-02NGLD (LAPAN Surveillance UAV series 02 New Generation Low Drag). LSU-02NGLD is a UAV that has 2.9 m of wingspan with a total mass of 21 kg. This paper aims to optimize the main landing gear structure so that optimization can reduce the mass. The optimization was carried out using the finite element software by modeling the main landing gear structure as a 1D beam element. There were 9 beam elements in the main landing gear structure model. The cross-sectional width (w) and the cross-sectional height (h) for each element were used as design variables. The objective of the optimization was to minimize the mass while maintaining maximum bending stress not greater than 20 MPa, displacement in y-direction not greater than 1 mm, and displacement in z-direction not greater than 0.1 mm. The optimization result showed that the mass reduction of the main landing gear structure was 50%, with all constraints fulfilled.

Introduction: Organic solvents are chemicals that are often used by the printing industry and contain Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene which are toxic to humans. Chemicals that contain organic solvents are ink, glue, and others. Workers who are regularly exposed to organic solvents can have health complaints. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between workers’ characteristics and health complaints due to exposure to organic solvents in the Sidoarjo offset printing. Methods: This research was an observational study with cross sectional design. Population in this research was 30 workers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling and from the calculation results were obtained 24 respondents. This study had an independent variable, which was workers’ characteristics consisting of age, smoking habits, and work tenure. The dependent variable was health complaints of printing workers. Data collection used questionnaires and interviews. The research data were analyzed using fisher’s exact test to show the correlation between workers’ characteristics and health complaints. Results: The result of the analysis test found that there was no correlation between age (p=0.386) and smoking habits (p=0.376) with health complaints of workers. Moreover, the analysis test showed that work tenure variable had a correlation with health complaints of workers (p=0.041). Conclusion: A factor related to health complaints of workers was work tenure.Keywords: health complaints, organic solvents, worker characteristics

Introduction: Fire cases increase in residential buildings because short circuits, at dormitories are mostly affected by human factors. X university dormitory building is a place for 24 hours of students’ activities with a lot of electricity consumption, bad behavior; overpowering extensions, and many flammable objects such as paper and furniture. Research objectives are to investigate the appropriateness and mapping needs of fire protection systems with regulations. Methods: The research is a semi quantitative analysis. Primary data is conducted with observations by using a checklist form that refers to the regulations and results of managers' interviews. The obtained data are categorized into good with suitability >79-100%, moderate ≥60%-79% and poor <60%. Result: The appropriateness of the active fire protection system is under 60% or in the poor category. The appropriateness of the fire extinguisher is 47.77%, the hydrant is 58.75%, the alarm is 18.75% and the heat detector is 35.90%. There is no sprinkler installation in the dormitory building and no commitment from the top management regarding occupational safety and health. Fire extinguisher’s need is 10 tubes per floor, the number of hydrants have been fulfilled, alarm requires an additional 1 unit on each floor and a heat detector requires a total of 114 units. Conclusion: The active fire protection system is still under 60% (poor category) and no maintenances. Based on the aforementioned mapping results, it needs to add the number of piece equipment according to the regulations and maintenance efforts.Keywords: active fire protection system, dormitory, mapping
Numerical Analysis for Predicting the Performance of Wave Observation Buoy: Dynamic Analysis under Regular Wave

Published: August 2021

The prediction of the performance of a wave observation buoy is very important to acquire both in-situ security and good observation quality. In the present study, a numerical method was set up to analyze the dynamic interaction of a spherical buoy with its single point mooring line subject to regular wave conditions. The method was applied to the condition of an existing hydraulic experiment, producing results that are well compatible with experimental results within the limited accuracy of the available data. It was argued that some discrepancies between the numerical and experimental results might be due to the uncertainties of the wave exciting forces acting on the buoy and the experimental conditions of mooring line. The method was finally applied to demonstrate two practical issues related to in-situ wave height measurements; the effect of buoy size on resulting heave motion and the aspect of the numerical integration of heave acceleration to get wave profile.

The purpose of the study was to identify and synthesise the interventions used to build the strategies for organising and managing research at universities that can be feasible in Ukraine. To achieve this purpose we provided a descriptive profile of the interventions and strategies used at universities to organise and manage research, rather than the detailed examination of substantive research results. The method of descriptive content analysis was applied to analyse empirical, experimental, review, conceptual, and commentary sources revealing strategies of organising and managing research at universities. The growth and corporate type strategies are dominant at universities, particularly in the USA and EU. The universities mainly seek cost-effective research opportunities that can help the institutions build a strong international brand. The policy of institutional strategic research management aimed at cooperation in research with other sectors seems to be the most feasible and appropriate for the Ukrainian research management context. Creating project management communities was found to be the second most feasible and appropriate strategy of organising and managing the university research in Ukraine. Financial criterion dominates in assessing the interventions for building a strategy of organising and managing research at universities. The university research can be stimulated at the state level through a demand-oriented reform that is aimed at reshaping the management of personnel, talent selection system, and personnel assessment.
PROCEDURES FOR ASSESSING COGNITIVE SKILLS OF PROSPECTIVE LANGUAGE TEACHERS
Authors: Sverdlova Iryna
Published: August 2021

The purpose of the research was to find out how the procedures for measuring students’ cognitive skills could be incorporated into the university course Language Teaching Methodology. The study was organised within a framework of Anderson’s theory of cognitive skills development and Glaser’s taxonomy of dimensions for assessing achievement. We developed the instrument, which encompassed two empirical questionnaires for treatment groups. Both questionnaires comprised an equal number of tasks but differed in the content of procedures for measuring knowledge acquisition and structure as one of the dimensions of cognitive assessment. Empirical Questionnaire 1, based on a traditional approach to assessment, included multiple-choice questions related to the lecture material. Empirical Questionnaire 2 comprised both traditional and unconventional measures, such as a SVT test; constructed and conversation-based responses; simple and high order rule tasks. Thirty-four third-year students of the Department of Foreign Languages, V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University participated in three-stage research-oriented teaching, which lasted ten weeks. Both qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods were employed for the evaluation of learning outcomes. After final testing, we compared the results obtained from the students. The group mean difference (EG vs. CG) was 0.12 points, 95% confidence interval (0.07 - 0.17), two-sample t-test p < 0.0001. Findings suggest that cognitive skills assessment considerably affects and improves student learning. The implications relate to final grades assessment and curriculum design and contribute to expanded uses for cognitive skills testing.
AMDV Vaccine: Challenges and Perspectives

Published: August 2021

Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) is known to cause the most significant disease in the mink industry. It is globally widespread and manifested as a deadly plasmacytosis and hyperglobulinemia. So far, measures to control viral spread have been limited to manual serological testing for AMDV-positive mink. Further, due to the persistent nature of this virus, attempts to eradicate Aleutian disease (AD) have largely failed. Therefore, effective strategies to control viral spread are of crucial importance for wildlife protection. One potentially key tool in the fight against this disease is by immunization of mink against AMDV. Throughout many years, several researchers have tried to develop AMDV vaccines and demonstrated varying degrees of protection in mink by those vaccines. Despite these attempts, there are currently no vaccines available against AMDV, allowing the continuation of the spread of Aleutian disease. Herein, we summarize previous AMDV immunization attempts in mink as well as other preventative measures with the purpose to shed light on future studies designing such a potentially crucial preventative tool against Aleutian disease.

The main aim of the study is to investigate the American trade policy between protectionism and economic dumping for the period 2011-2021. The trade war between the United States of America and China is a serious issue in terms of international economic relations, which has negative effects on the global economy, especially those related to the low rates of international trade. Accordingly, the return of economic and trade relations between the two countries to their previous state will have positive effects on the developing oil economies, including the increase in oil prices in global markets. The increase in oil prices will lead to an increase in the trade exchange of Iraq with the countries worldwide, given that its economy is among the developing oil-dependent economies that depend on oil as the main source of its revenues. Likewise, it is in the economic interest of Iraq that China becomes the first trading partner after the value of trade exchange between the two countries reached 30 billion dollars in 2020, and the same is true for the United States of America, the second trading partner, as the value of trade exchange between the two countries amounted to 13.1 billion dollars in 2020.
