In this work we investigate the quartz etching process using hydrofluoric acid for trapped charge dating (TCD) applications. It is done using material collected from an active sand mine in Bełchatów Nowy Świat, central Poland. Approximately 20 kg of material was collected and prepared using routine procedures that are applied in TCD laboratories. The material was sieved using 180–200 μm meshes, and the selected fraction was etched for various time intervals. Sieved samples were etched for durations from 0 min up to 180 min and measured with microscope image analysis (IA), laser diffraction (LD), and mass loss which were used to estimate the depths of etching. Our results show statistical data on how non-uniform the etching process is. We estimate this as a function of etching time from IA, LD and mass loss. In our investigation, mass loss measurements with the assumption of spherical grains correspond to the decrease of radius of ca. 0.151 ± 0.003 μm · min−1. In case of LD, a rough etch depth estimation corresponds to a range 0.06–0.18 μm · min−1 with median at 0.13 μm · min−1. Microscope IA gives a 0.03–0.09 μm · min−1 with a median at 0.05 μm · min−1. Moreover, quartz grains are fractured into smaller pieces while etching. It means that assumptions that are used in etch depth estimation from mass loss are not correct. They incorrect not only because grains are not spheres but also because the number of grains is not constant. Therefore, the etch depth estimated from mass loss might be overestimated. Using microscope IA we report etch depth ranges that might be used to roughly estimate the etch depth uncertainty.
Parsimonious process model of energy retrofit of buildings

Published: May 2022

Building information modelling (BIM) technology has been focusing on the creation, sharing and use of a comprehensive digital twin of the facility under construction or renovation. It is believed that a more comprehensive, structured and complete model would be better. The aim of this paper and the underlying research is to reaffirm the view that the essence of information is to inform the user and that the main purpose of information models is that they are informative – that they contain the necessary information. Parsimonious information is information that is necessary but as simple as possible. Our hypothesis is that in many cases simpler models could be more useful, as they do not introduce technological barriers with the usually involved low- and medium-level contractors. One such case is the energy retrofitting of existing buildings. Many public and residential buildings with poor energy performance are located all over the world, especially in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as in China. They are an efficient target for a significant improvement in their energy performance by improving the building envelope and openings. The paper presents an economical process model for the modernisation of existing buildings. This model provides a basis for a parsimonious product model, which is currently under development. The broader objective of the research presented is to examine cases where a heavy information model may not be necessary and where a detailed process definition – as described in the BIM implementation plan and related documents – would lead to over-specification that would limit the free dynamics of a workflow.

Studies showed that gratitude can be used as an approach to prevent adolescent mental health problems. The concept of gratitude that was used generally refered to a concept from Western culture or a concept applied to adults. This study aimed to explore the concept of gratitude in early adolescents using qualitative methods. Respondents consisted of 22 boys and 45 girls aged 12 to 15 years. The instrument used was open-ended questionnaire about the meanings, objects, forms of expression, along with the affective sides of gratitude. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The result of this study indicated that the concept of gratitude interpreted by early adolescents was represented by four major categories, namely thanking and praising God, accepting, enjoying, and appreciating. The object of gratitude were gifts of God, valuable objects, academic achievements, and social relations. Whereas expressions of gratitude were expressed by praying, verbalizing, worshiping God, developing oneself, and doing positive things to others. These finding showed that the concept of gratitude for early adolescents in Indonesia is closely related to divinity and morals but still intact with the characteristics of adolescent development.
Persepsi remaja terhadap perilaku emotional eating
Authors: Tittandi Nindya Alifia
Published: May 2022

Adolescence is a transitional period which is usually marked by significant emotional changes. Some teenagers still have difficulty coping with the emotions they are experiencing, so they choose to calm them down by eating. This can be known as emotional eating. However, many adolescents do not know and realize this behavior, which if done excessively can lead to overweight or even obesity. So through this research, we try to find out the extent of adolescent knowledge regarding emotional eating behavior. Our findings indicate that differences in school levels determine this knowledge, so that the provision of material related to eating disorders is not fully understood by adolescents. In fact, the prevention of obesity in adolescents is more effective if given since early adolescence, namely by including the curriculum in schools related to self-control and basic knowledge related to eating disorders and other disorders that generally begin to occur in adolescence.

Published: May 2022

Sekaa Teruna Teruni (STT) is one of the youth organizations in Bali. The achievement of the goals of STT is influenced by various factors, one of which is the participation of organizational members which can arise due to a sense of belonging and conformity. STT membership, which is generally voluntary, causes almost no pressure requiring STT members to be present and active in STT activities, but when viewed from the daily activities in STT, there is a tendency that men take more roles than women. This research is a quantitative study that aims to determine the relationship between a sense of belonging in an organization and conformity, with women's participation in the STT. Sampling was done by cluster random sampling with a total sample of 178 female members who attended STT in Badung, Tabanan, and Gianyar districts. The measuring instrument used in this study consists of three scales, namely, Participation in the STT scale, Sense of Belonging scale, and Conformity scale. The data analysis technique used in this research is multiple correlation test. Based on the analysis of the hypothesis test, the correlation coefficient value is 0.653 with F count as 65,118 and significance 0,000 (p<0,005) which indicates a relationship between a sense of belonging to the organization and conformity with women's participation in STT. The higher the sense of belonging to the organization and conformity, the higher the level of women's participation in STT.
"Interstitial Spaces and Sites of Struggle": Displacement, Identity, and Belonging in Contemporary French Accented Cinema
Authors: Petty Sheila
Published: May 2022

This essay focuses on three “accented cinema” films that creatively blend the autobiographical, performative, fictional, and documentary to interpret how identities are created at the intersection of displacement and belonging and are shaped by selective and multiple affinities to colonial cultures, ancestral cultures, and adopted host cultures. The films represent historical “moments” and follow a historical chronology, highlighting the permanency of being displaced and displacement in France, the said Republic of Equality. Watani: un monde sans mal (Watani: A World Without Evil, 1998) by Med Hondo depicts several racist incidents in Paris, including the Sans-Papiers Affair of 1996; La Marche (The Marchers, 2013) by Nabil Ben Yadir recreates the 1983 Marseilles to Paris “Marche Pour l’Egalité et Contre le Racisme”; and Paris Stalingrad (2019) by Hind Meddeb and Thim Naccachechronicles refugees struggling to make a home for themselves in street camps in the Stalingrad district of Paris.

Autoimmune haemolytic anemia is a rare but potentially catastrophic adverse event of im-mune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We present the case of a gentleman who presented with non-specific symptoms while undergoing adjuvant Nivolumab therapy after potential-ly curative surgery for gastroesophageal cancer. The patient’s haemoglobin deteriorated to 4.7 g/dl with no evidence of bleeding and serologic tests indicative of hemolysis. He re-ceived emergent massive RCC transfusion receiving 9 units of bloods in 1 night, and was commenced on high dose methylprednisolone. During subsequent weeks of inpatient care, the patient continued to received multiple daily red cell transfusions and had a total of 53 RCC transfusions during admission, along with high doses of steroids,4 doses of weekly Rituximab as well as 2 doses of IVIG.While he was discharged on day 38 of admission, he required a slow taper of steroids over 6 months. Immune related hemolytic anemias are a rare corollary of immune check point inhibitors. The cases of immune related AIHA docu-mented in the literature were treated with steroids, Rituximab and IVIG, which are also rec-ommended by guidelines for the treatment of immune related haemolytic anemias.

THE ROLE OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
Authors:   Academician Yuri Bugay International University of Science and Technology, Kotelevets Dmytro
Published: May 2022

Economic systems by their nature are complex objects of study, as their development depends on a significant number of factors, conditions for the functioning of their individual components, the peculiarities of the environment in which such systems develop. An important role in the development of such systems is played by their infrastructure, which is an integral part of the functioning of any system and, thus, also affects its development. The uniqueness of the infrastructure of the economic system is that its functioning is objective, necessary, and the infrastructure itself can often be considered as a separate integrated object of study, which includes a large number of subsystems of different nature.Within the article, the role of infrastructure in the development of economic systems is examined. This was done on the basis of studying the essence of the category "infrastructure", which was implemented through a thorough analysis of existing in the scientific literature conceptual approaches to the content of this definition. Systematization of such approaches, their analysis allowed to state the importance of infrastructure for the development of economic systems and the complexity of its study. Approaches to the use of the category "infrastructure" ineconomic research were also singled out, namely: consideration of infrastructure in the context of the functioning of another economic system; consideration of infrastructure in the context of the study of certain economic processes and areas that are common to sectors of the national economy; consideration of certain types of infrastructure in the context of research of other economic systems; consideration of infrastructure within separate spatial economic systems. Consideration of the essence of the category "infrastructure" allowed to distinguish it from the definition of "infrastructure" and point out two approaches to its consideration: static (infrastructure is a set of existing infrastructure that affects the development of certain types of economicsystems) and dynamic (process) formation of conditions for the development of certain types of infrastructure within the functioning of economic systems)

Objective

To investigate whether adding physical activity coaching and an activity monitor enhanced the effects of a group exercise program on pain intensity and disability for people with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Design

Randomized controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis, and blinding of participants and assessors.

Methods

One hundred sixty participants with chronic nonspecific low back pain who were aged between 18 and 60 years and seeking care at an outpatient physiotherapy clinic participated. Both groups received supervised group exercise therapy. The intervention group also received physical activity coaching sessions aimed at improving physical activity, and physical activity electronic feedback delivered by an activity monitor. The attention control group received modified approaches of coaching sessions and an activity monitor. Disability was measured using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (0–24), and pain intensity was measured using the 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (0–10). Linear mixed models were performed to test for differences between groups.

Results

There were no differences between groups for reductions in disability (mean difference [MD] = −0.5 out of 24 points; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −2.2, 1.1) and pain intensity (MD = −0.4 out of 10 points; 95% CI: −1.3, 0.5) at 3-month follow-up. There were no between-groups differences at 6- and 12-month follow-up assessments.

Conclusion

Adding targeted physical activity coaching and an activity monitor did not reduce pain intensity or disability more than an attention control approach in participants with chronic low back pain who were undertaking a group exercise program.

The article reveals the features of actualization of issues of wages at enterprises in Ukraine. It is stated that: the salary is a remuneration, which is usually calculated in cash equivalent, and which, according to the employment contract, the employer must pay the employee for the work he performed; salary consists of basic salary, additional salary, other incentive and compensation payments. It was found that the key functions that wages perform are the reproductive function, the stimulating function, the social function and the accounting and production function. It has been proved that it is advisable to consider the payroll fund in many aspects, for example, as an integral part of the expenses of enterprises, as a tool for managing the personnel of enterprises, as a motivational tool used to guide the plan of activities of enterprises, as a tool for generating supply and demand in the labor market. It is determined that the specifics of the organization of remuneration at the enterprise is aimed at strict observance of the terms of payment of wages, provided for by the provisions of the Collective Agreement, in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are to study of the features and improvement of the mechanism of legal regulation of wages in Ukraine.

Wet Oxidation as a Complementary Variant to Conventional Processes for Wastewater and Sewage Sludge Disposal
Authors: Seiler Anton
Published: May 2022

The basic principle of wet oxidation has been known for over 75 years; the first patent concerning this process dates back to 1912. Until the middle of the last century, wet oxidation was not used in the field of waste disposal, but only in the scope of chemical processes. In the fifties,
wet oxidation was used for the first time for cleaning wastewater and sewage sludges. However, for a long time, application possibilities were limited to technically less demanding corrosive wastewaters from domestic, slaughterhouse, paper factory sources etc. Since the beginning of
the eighties, this process has also been successfully implemented on highly corrosive process wastewaters derived from chemical production.
Impessoalidade, técnica e o cenário pós-pandêmico: perspectivas heideggerianas
Authors: Sueiro André Luiz , Santos Roger dos
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo discute, a partir da leitura de pensadores da história, para uma perspectiva heideggeriana, as possibilidades de aumento da impessoalidade no cenário pós-pandemia, apresentando uma problematização do aumento da tecnicização da vida por conta das (necessárias) medidas adotadas para o combate à pandemia. Com isso, se pretende discutir como alguns fenômenos atuais que levam à desumanização ou, mesmo, empobrecimento do ser, apontam numa direção de redução da autonomia e da constituição de um mundo totalmente administrado, o que claramente pode anular as potencialidades de escolha e ação do homem, em seu poder-ser mais próprio. Em contrapartida, ressaltam-se as perspectivas de Heidegger em torno do cultivo do pensar e do relacionamento criativo e poético como forma de cuidado humano.
The Epic Storyteller Zhusup Mamai
Authors: Субакожоева Чолпон Темирбековна
Published: May 2022

В мировой фольклористике огромное место занимает изучение выдающегося памятника устного народного творчества - киргизского героического эпоса «Манас». Эпос «Манас» - уникальное явление в фольклорном наследии народов мира. Самый длинный в мире эпос заменял бесписьменному народу на протяжении многих столетий и художественную литературу, и театр, и книгу по истории, воскрешающую прошлое. Эпос содержит свыше полумиллиона стихотворных строк. Основное содержание эпоса - подвиги богатыря Манаса во имя защиты киргизской земли от иноземных захватчиков. «Манас» бытовал не только среди жителей Киргизии, но и широко распространен в среде киргизов, проживающих в Китае. Эпос дошел до наших дней благодаря сказительскому искусству талантливых людей из народа, называемых манасчи. История донесла до наших дней имена более 100 сказителей эпоса. В Китае самым замечательным сказителем был Жусуп Мамай (1918-2014). Ему принадлежит наиболее полный и известный вариант эпоса, состоящий из восьми частей, который был издан в Китае в 18 томах. Данная статья посвящена этому выдающемуся сказителю эпоса «Манас», который стоит в одном ряду с великими киргизскими сказителями Токтогулом, Келдибеком, Балыком, Чоюке, Сагымбаем Орозбаковым, Саякбаем Каралаевым. В статье дана краткая характеристика древнейшего памятника устного творчества киргизского народа эпоса «Манас», рассмотрены жизнь и творчество великого манасчи Жусупа Мамая, знавшего не только классический вариант эпоса (трилогию «Манас», «Семетей», «Сейтек»), но и сберегшего и донесшего до нас историю последующих пяти поколений потомков Манаса.

An outstanding monument of oral folk art, the Kyrgyz heroic epic “Manas” occupies a major place in the study of world folklore. “Manas” is a unique phenomenon in the oral poetic tradition; the longest epic in the world, it replaced belles-lettres, theater, and history for an unlettered people. The epic contains over half a million lines of poetry. Its main content is the exploits of the hero Manas in protecting the Kyrgyz land from foreign invaders. “Manas” was popular not only among the residents of Kyrgyzstan, but was also widespread among the Kyrgyz living in China. The epic has come down to our day thanks to the art of talented storytellers from the folk called “manaschi.” History has preserved the names of more than 100 of these epic storytellers. In China, the most remarkable was the great manaschi Zhusup Mamai (1918-2014), who narrated the most complete and most famous version of the epic, consisting of eight parts, which was published in China in eighteen volumes. This article is dedicated to this outstanding storyteller, who stands on a par with other great Kyrgyz bards like Toktogul, Keldibek, Balyk, Choike, Sagymbai Orozbakov, and Sayakbai Karalaev. The article gives a brief description of the epic “Manas,” the oldest Kirghiz oral monument, and examines the life and work of Zhusup Mamai, who knew not only the classic version of the epic - the trilogy “Manas,” “Semetey,” and “Seitek” - but also preserved the story of five generations that descended from Manas.

Рассматриваются истоки этого сюжета, одна часть которого повторяет цепь персонажей еврейской пасхальной песни «Хад Гадья» (отголоски которой многочисленны в Европе), а другая восходит к индийской «Панчатантре» (сюжет попал в Европу благодаря басне Лафонтена). Отдельно рассматривается также роль муравья в мифологиях народов мира, где он, несмотря на свою малость, является носителем сверхъестественных качеств и обладает способностью легко переходить границу между мирами живых и мертвых, актуализируя таким образом особую тему «муравьиного пути». На основании анализа полученных данных, а также исторических фактов, имеющих отношение к месту записи фольклорного текста о муравье, делается вывод о том, что сюжет о путешествии муравья в Иерусалим неслучайно появился именно на территории Окситании и имеет отношение к историко-культурным реалиям местности, восходящим к эпохе Крестовых походов.

This article analyzes a Catalan folklore text of the cumulative type about the journey of an ant to Jerusalem, which is reflected in a fantastic trilogy about ants by the modern French writer Bernard Werber. It examines the origins of this plot. One part of it repeats the chain of characters from the Jewish Passover song “Had Gadya”; echoes of this plot are numerous in European culture. The other part derives from the Indian Panchatantra; this plot came to Europe thanks to La Fontaine’s fables. The author also considers the role of the ant in world mythology; here, despite its size, the ant may possess supernatural qualities and have the ability to cross between the worlds of the living and of the dead, thus actualizing the special theme of the “ant’s journey.” Based on the foregoing analysis as well as research about the place where the folklore text was recorded, the author concludes that the plot about the ant’s journey to Jerusalem did not appear on the territory of Occitania by accident and that it relates to the historical and cultural realities of the area, dating back to the era of the Crusades.

В статье рассмотрены распространенные в наше время в окрестностях Пекина и Тяньцзиня, а также на юге провинции Хэбэй представления о колонке (хуан-шу-лан, хуанъю, хуан пи-цзы) как мифологическом персонаже. Использованы полевые материалы и данные форумов и других интернет-ресурсов материкового Китая. Обладающего сверхъестественными способностями колонка часто включают в число «четырех великих семей» или «пяти священных животных», представления о которых распространились в Китае в XVII в. с воцарением маньчжурского дома Цин; однако в Хэбэе он сейчас по большей части воспринимается как самостоятельное божество. Иногда чудесного колонка описывают как обогатителя: так, он может в целом способствовать процветанию покровительствуемой семьи или непосредственно приносить в дом похищенные в других местах продукты. Чудесный колонок способен манипулировать людьми, вызывая истерическое расстройство или препятствуя запоздалому путнику найти дом в сумерках. Подобные способности могут приписывать и обычным колонкам, находя в таком случае для них паранаучные объяснения. К колонку обращаются за помощью при болезни или при необходимости узнать собственное будущее. Колонок также может вселяться в медиума-целителя или в обычного человека, в последнем случае становясь причиной его болезни. Последняя часть статьи посвящена рассказам о способах, с помощью которых чудесный колонок пытается обрести бессмертие

This article examines ideas about the weasel (huang-shu-lang, huangyou, huang pi-zi) as a mythological character that are widespread in our time in the vicinity of Beijing and Tianjin, as well as in the south of Hebei province. It makes use of field materials and data from forums as well as other Internet resources of mainland China. Having supernatural abilities, the weasel is often included among the “four great families” or “five sacred animals,” ideas about which spread in China in the seventeenth century with the accession of the Manchu house of Qing. However, in Hebei, it is now mostly perceived as an independent deity. Sometimes a wonderful weasel is described as an enricher: for example, it can contribute to the prosperity of its patronized family and bring it things stolen from other places. The wonderful weasel is able to manipulate people, causing hysterical disorder or preventing a tardy traveler from finding home at dusk. Similar abilities can be attributed to ordinary weasels, finding in this case parascientific explanations for them. The weasel is asked for help in case of illness or, if necessary, to find out one’s future. Weasels can also inhabit a medium-healer or an ordinary person, in the latter case becoming the cause of illness. The last part of the article describes stories about the ways in which wonderful weasels try to gain immortality.

Objectives: Prevalence of delirium is increased in patients with dementia. Monitoring of the severity of Delirium Superimposed on Dementia (DSD) may help to improve the quality of care in patients suffering from this condition. This proof-of-concept study aims to provide a first exploration of the reliability, validity and sensitivity to change of the Delirium-In-Dementia-Assessment-Scale (DIDAS), a 10-item nurses’ observation scale to be used as a tool to screen for symptoms and measure severity of DSD. Methods: A first cross sectional and repeated measurement study of the DIDAS was conducted in a closed psychogeriatric unit of a general psychiatric hospital. All patients admitted to this ward were enrolled in this study to assess DIDAS’ validity, reliability, discriminative power and ability to measure delirium severity. Results: 589 DIDAS questionnaires were completed in 17 patients yielding a high internal consistency (a = 0.86) for the total DIDAS scores. Mean day DIDAS scores were significantly higher in patients with DSD compared to patients without DSD (Cohen’s d 1.02). The effect size on item level ranged from Cohen’s d of 0.27 to 0.72. A statistically significant correlation (Spearman’s Rho 0.626) was found between the mean DIDAS score per patient per day and a Likert score for global clinical severity. Conclusion: The DIDAS seems a reliable instrument for nurses to measure severity of DSD and monitor the course of DSD severity over time.

Modification of electrodes with biomolecules is an essential first step for the development of biosensors. Conventionally, gold electrodes are used because of their ease of modification with thiolated biomolecules. However, carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) are gaining popularity for the development of cost-effective platforms, as they do not require precious metals for the work-ing electrode and are more consistent than most equivalent gold screen-printed electrodes. However, their universal modification with biomolecules remains a challenge; the majority of work to-date relies on non-specific amide bond formation to chemical handles on the electrode surface. By combining facile and consistent electrochemical modification to add an aniline handle to elec-trodes with a specific and biocompatible bioorthogonal oxidative coupling reaction, we can attach DNA and proteins to carbon electrodes. Importantly, for both proteins and DNA, the biomolecules maintain activity following coupling, ensuring that the DNA is in a biologically-relevant conformation and that proteins remain folded following coupling. We have further demonstrated the ability to generate self-assembled whole-cell films on these electrodes using DNA-directed immobilization to DNA-modified elec-trodes. This work provides an important platform for the modification of inexpensive carbon SPEs and is anticipated to be appli-cable to any carbon-based electrode material.

Novel ring-substituted octyl phenylcyanoacrylates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO2CH2(CH2)6CH3 (where R is 3-phenoxy, 4-phenoxy, 4-(4-bromophenoxy), 3-(4-chlorophenoxy), 2-(4-fluorophenoxy), 3-(4-methylphenoxy), 4-(4-methylphenoxy), 4-(4-nitrophenoxy), 3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy], 2-benzyloxy, 3-benzyloxy, 4-benzyloxy) were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The acrylates were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-substituted benzaldehydes and octyl cyanoacetate, and characterized by CHN analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The acrylates were copolymerized with styrene in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70C. The compositions of the copolymers were calculated from nitrogen analysis.
