Elton Reservoir slip
Authors: Coombs Matt , Povey Nathan , Brown David H.
Published: July 2022

Elton Reservoir was built between 1804 and 1808 to supply water to the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal. The canal is no longer open for boat traffic, but the reservoir does provide a sweetening flow. The reservoir is retained by a 600 m long embankment dam with a maximum height of 8.8 m, has a capacity of 923 000 m3 and a surface area of 22 hectares. Top water level in the reservoir is 87.70 mAOD (above ordnance datum). The Canal & River Trust (the Trust) is the reservoir owner. The reservoir has experienced a number of embankment slips in the past with the most recent being in 2012. The water level was subsequently reduced until repair works could be undertaken. A length of unlined spillway channel along the toe of the embankment suffering from erosion was repaired at the same time. The opportunity was taken to complete other remedial works including making the operation of the scour valve within the confined space of the outlet tunnel less onerous. This paper outlines the investigation works undertaken and the various options considered with respect to repairing the slip and providing embankment stabilisation, which led to the preferred solution of counterfort drains.
Mechanical and microstructural properties of iron tailings
Authors: Okewale Ismail Adeniyi , Grobler Hendrik
Published: July 2022

Due to the importance of their handling and the consequent negative impacts on humans and the environment as well as limited understanding of their mechanics, detailed investigations on the mechanical and microstructural properties of tailings are very crucial. Studying tailings is very important in the geotechnical engineering, engineering geology and geomechanics community worldwide because of the need for deeper and better understanding of their behaviour for safer design and construction of tailings dams. The following findings were obtained: (a) The grading characteristics are a function of the degree of sorting by sedimentation during discharge. (b) The fabrics of the iron tailings are heterogeneous and isotropic. (c) Chromium and copper are the significant heavy metals that can have adverse effects on human. (d) There are non-convergent curves and no unique normal compression lines. (e) The transitional mode of behaviour results from heterogeneous fabrics, which shows that the behaviour of iron tailings depends on the initial state. (f) The particles of iron tailings are angular, and the angularity of particle shapes increases slightly with vertical effective stresses. (g) The non-convergent behaviour cannot be attributed to preferential particle breakage.
Index tests for geosynthetic clay liners containing bentonite–polymer composites
Authors: Geng Weijuan , Salihoglu Hulya , Likos William J , Benson Craig H
Published: July 2022

The hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing bentonite–polymer composites (BPCs) is controlled by a pore clogging mechanism related to the swelling of sodium bentonite (NaB) granules and formation of polymer gel in the pore space. Three index testing procedures that are influenced by bentonite swelling and rheology of the polymer gel were evaluated in this study for screening BPC GCLs for hydraulic conductivity: viscosity, liquid limit by fall-cone penetration and active water content. Experiments were conducted using polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer, dry-blended mixtures of PAM and NaB and a BPC from a commercially available GCL. These materials were contacted with inorganic solutions representing leachates from a range of waste containment scenarios. For the BPC that was evaluated, hydraulic conductivities less than 10−10 m/s were obtained when the viscosity exceeded 220 mPa s and the active water content exceeded 300%. Hydraulic conductivities less than 10−11 m/s were achieved for viscosity exceeding 350 mPa s, fall-cone liquid limit exceeding 190 and active water content exceeding 300%. Additional testing is needed to assess the generality of these index tests and the identified thresholds when applied to other BPC GCLs and other permeant liquids.

influência da Governança Corporativa e dos mecanismos externos de controle no trade-off entre as estratégias de gerenciamento de resultados
Authors: Telles Rafael Scuizato , Moraes Romildo de Oliveira
Published: July 2022

O estudo teve por objetivo analisar a influência da governança corporativa (GC) e de mecanismos externos de controle no trade-off entre as estratégias de gerenciamento de resultados por accruals discricionários e por decisões operacionais. A amostra foi composta por 177 empresas listadas na B³. A governança corporativa foi investigada por meio do índice desenvolvido por Leal et al. (2015). O gerenciamento de resultados foi captado pelo modelo de Paulo (2007) no caso dos accruals discricionários, pelo modelo de Roychowdhury (2006) no caso das despesas operacionais e o teste de Vuong (1989) para o trade-off entre essas estratégias. O estudo amplia as investigações no âmbito do gerenciamento de resultados ao investigar se fatos endógenos (governança corporativa) e exógenos (mecanismos externos de controle) à empresa influenciam os gestores em suas opções por gerenciarem os resultados pelos accruals discricionários ou pelas decisões operacionais. Nos resultados, verificou-se que a governança corporativa e os mecanismos externos de controle influenciam no trade-off entre as estratégias de resultado. A presença destas variáveis levou os gestores a priorizarem a utilização do gerenciamento por meio dos accruals discricionários em detrimento do gerenciamento por meio das decisões operacionais. A pesquisa contribui com a literatura sobre gerenciamento de resultados ao detectar variáveis que influenciam nas decisões discricionárias dos gestores quanto a qual estratégia de gerenciamento utilizar, trazendo contribuições práticas ao sinalizar para os stakeholders que a governança e os mecanismos externos de controle são eficazes em seu papel de inibirem o gerenciamento de resultados.
Speaking with the voices of the dead: Sean Bonney, Arthur Rimbaud, Amiri Baraka and revolutionary poetics
Authors: Hampson Robert
Published: July 2022

The essay considers Sean Bonney's work in the period 2008-2014. It focuses on his PhD thesis on Amiri Baraka (completed in 2013) and the publications Baudelaire in English (2008) and Letters Against the Firmament (2015). The thesis explored tensions between aesthetic and political commitment in Baraka's work during the 1960s, a period of particular importance in Baraka's development, as it marked his shift from 'beatnik' bohemianism to black nationalism. The essay uses the thesis to examine Bonney's own exploration of the possibilities of a revolutionary poetics in this period. in the context of the political events of the time. It traces his attempts to dissolve bourgeois subjectivity and the transformation of the individual subject into a collective subjectivity through his engagement with Baudelaire and Rimbaud and his arrival at a militant poetics which aims to express 'complex, multiple ideas ... with a singular directness'.
‘No Simple Explanations’
Authors: Grundy David , Hilson Jeff
Published: July 2022

This editorial essay introduces the Sean Bonney special issue of the Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry. We begin by setting Bonney’s writing on plague and temporality in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic which in some ways it seemed to anticipate, arguing that ‘in 2020, reality, its landscapes, both internal and external, seemed to become a Sean Bonney poem’. We then outline the content of the special issue in more detail, offering summaries of the essays that follow, as well as the critical writing by Bonney and the bibliography of his work reprinted as part of the issue. A concluding section entitled ‘No Simple Explanations’ suggests the range of Bonney’s artistic and political interests and concerns, arguing that ‘[Bonney’s] work consistently challenged the borders and boundaries of what poetry might mean, whether in his late prose poems, or in his critical work’, and offering a comparative reading of Jayne Cortez’s poem ‘No Simple Explanations’, which, we argue, offers a mode of poetics that ‘draws out a genuinely social realism’. We end by suggesting that Bonney and Cortez ‘help us to think of a poetry that moves through grief, despair, and sorrow into new forms, new ways to think through the temporal urgency of this and any moment’.
Forecasting PM2.5 emissions in open-pit minesusing a functional link neural network optimized by various optimization algorithms
Authors: Bui X. -N. , Nguyen H. , Le Q. .-T. , Le T. N.
Published: July 2022

PM2.5 air pollution is not only a significant hazard to human health in everyday life but also a dangerous risk to workers operating in open-pit mines OPMs), especially open-pit coal mines (OPCMs). PM2.5 in OPCMs can cause lung-related (e.g., pneumoconiosis, lung cancer) and cardiovascular diseases due to exposure to airborne respirable dust over a long time. Therefore, the precise prediction of PM2.5 is of great importance in the mitigation of PM2.5 pollution and improving air quality at the workplace. This study investigated the meteorological conditions and PM2.5 emissions at an OPCM in Vietnam, in order to develop a novel intelligent model to predict PM2.5 emissions and pollution. We applied functional link neural network (FLNN) to predict PM2.5 pollution based on meteorological conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction and speed). Instead of using traditional algorithms, the Hunger Games Search (HGS) algorithm was used to train the FLNN model. The vital role of HGS in this study is to optimize the weights in the FLNN model, which was finally referred to as the HGS-FLNN model. We also considered three other hybrid models based on FLNN and metaheuristic algorithms, i.e., ABC (Artificial Bee Colony)-FLNN, GA (Genetic Algorithm)- FLNN, and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization)-FLNN to assess the feasibility of PM2.5 prediction in OPCMs and compare their results with those of the HGS-FLNN model. The study findings showed that HGS-FLNN was the best model with the highest accuracy (up to 94–95 % in average) to predict PM2.5 air pollution. Meanwhile, the accuracy of the other models ranged 87 % to 90 % only. The obtained results also indicated that HGS-FLNN was the most stable model with the lowest relative error (in the range of −0.3 to 0.5 %).

Low-intensity aerobic training combined with blood flow restriction v1
Authors: university Konkuk
Published: July 2022

Before performing low-intensity aerobic training combined with blood flow restriction (LABFR),10-mins of light jogging was performed as a warm-up. Afterwards, each participant wore an occlusion cuff belt (KAATSU NANO, KAATSU JAPAN, Tokyo, Japan) at the proximal end of the thigh. For LABFR, each participant repeated a pattern of 2 min running on a treadmill (HERA-9000, Health-One, Goyang, Republic of Korea) with the exercise intensity set to 40% VO2max, followed by 1 min passive rest, performing a total of 5 sets. The total time taken for exercise was 15 min. The pressure range during LABFR was set to 160 - 240 mmHg, because the use of LABFR with higher occlusion pressures (≥130 mmHg) has been shown to improve both the aerobic fitness and aerobic performance in young adults. The participants performed the LABFR three times a week for the period of 8 weeks. The control group performed the same protocol as the LABFR group without wearing the occlusion cuff belts for blood flow restriction.

Growing Childlessness and One‐Child Families in Slovakia in the Shadow of Fragile Pronatalism
Authors: Šprocha Branislav
Published: July 2022

The model of very low childlessness and the low prevalence of one‐child families was once important for Slovak society. The collapse of the Communist regime, however, led to many changes in reproductive behaviour. This article aims to analyse the development of cohort childlessness and the prevalence of one‐child families in Slovakia. Possible scenarios of childlessness and one‐child families are presented. The article tries to place the obtained results within a broader framework of social and gender inequalities, existing barriers to parenthood, and family policy settings in Slovakia. The results confirm that the onset of the postponement process, combined with limited recuperation, especially of second and further children among women born since the second half of the 1960s, has brought a quite substantial increase in the proportion of childless and “one‐child” women. The persistence of some social and gender differences and obstacles in reconciling work and family, which has only recently seen a response from family policy in Slovakia, was confirmed; however, the impact of these new tools on reproduction appears to be obscure.
Immunochemotherapy of refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma with high-dose consolidation and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation complicated by a new coronavirus infection

Published: July 2022

Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is one of the most treatable lymphoproliferative diseases with current chemotherapy regimens. The 5-year overall survival rate among patients after initial chemotherapy reaches 95 %, however, despite the significant success achieved, the problem of refractoriness/relapse remains very relevant. A standard approach to the treatment of refractory/recurrent Hodgkin's lymphoma among young patients with preserved general status and chemoresponsive to salvage therapy tumor is high-dose consolidation chemotherapy followed by transplantation of autologous hematopoietic stem cells. The intensification of chemotherapy regimens is highly difficult task for a doctor during the COVID-19 pandemic, which requires careful assessment of a risk-benefit ratio.

In current conditions, new targeted and immune drugs are used to overcome resistance and reduce toxicity among pretreated patients, which allows not only to improve the results of a treatment, but also to preserve the high quality of life among patients with extremely unfavorable prognosis.

We show our experience of using a checkpoint inhibitor in combination with a dose-intensive regimen of DHAP (dexamethasone, cytarabine, cisplatin) in the treatment of a refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma followed by high-dose consolidation chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, among patients complicated with a new coronavirus infection in the post-transplant period.
Hodgkin lymphoma in patient with primary immunodeficiency: clinical features and treatment approaches
Authors: Utesheva K. I. , Belyaeva E. S. , Valiev T. T. , Odzharova A. A.
Published: July 2022

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are genetically determined irreversible disorders of structure and/or functions of the immune system's cellular and humoral components, accompanied by frequent infectious diseases and contributing to the development of malignant neoplasms. Lymphomas are the most frequent oncological disease in PID patients: non-Hodgkin's lymphomas occur in 60 % of malignant neoplasms cases, Hodgkin lymphoma - in 20 %, leukemias - in 10 %, solid tumors - in 10 %. The risk of malignant lymphoproliferative diseases in PID patients amounts to 4-25 %, with the overall incidence of cancer 100-200 times higher than in immunocompetent population. Results of malignant neoplasms treatment in children with PID remain unsatisfactory due to the high rate of relapsed, refractory disease and anticancer therapy complications.

This paper presents a clinical case of Hodgkin lymphoma with atypical localization in a female PID patient. peculiarities of this case are eye socket soft tissue involvement, slow response to therapy, and a high rate of infectious complications.
PATRIOTISM AS A FACTOR IN POLITICAL AGENDA SETTING: INSTITUTIONAL AND IDEOLOGICAL GROUNDS
Authors:   Dnipro City Council, Filatov Borys
Published: July 2022

The article attempts to outline the issue of patriotism as a factor in the transformation of the institutional structure of politics. The special status of patriotism as an interdisciplinary scientific problem as a result of the events of the Revolution of Dignity and the armed struggle in eastern Ukraine is analyzed. The analysis Identification and differentiation of problems of the macropolitical agenda on the principles of patriotism is carried out. It is emphasized that the consideration of patriotism in the political sphere is determined by attempts to explain such phenomena as the global «ethnic renaissance», the sudden mobilization of citizens during mass protests, the spread of manipulation within political communications. A retrospective analysis showed that patriotism should be considered not only as an ideological and doctrinal system or system of political argumentation, but also as a phenomenon that realizes the change of trajectory and mode of functioning of specific political institutions and the system as a whole. It is substantiated that modern Ukraine is in the process of transformation, namely a change in the activities of political institutions, which is fixed in the legal dimension. It is proved that the patriotic perspective of public representation in foreign countries at the present stage, on the one hand, does not deny civil rights and freedoms, on the other hand, gives human rights activities a clear character of protection of Ukrainian interests. Understanding the protection of Ukraine’s independence has influenced the formation of political forces, the differentiation of the political community on the basis of the attitude to the future of Ukraine as a separate state. The effectiveness of democratic transformations in Ukraine is measured by international rating agencies, which show changes in the development of democratic political relations, their institutional support, in particular in the rule-making, which determines the parameters of political participation. One of the main tasks of forming the core of the patriotic electorate is to ensure the transmission of political values from one generation to another. In Ukrainian society, patriotism as a factor of electoral choice has its own characteristics associated with the requirements of protecting the specific pragmatic interests of social groups and individuals.
STATE POWER IDEA IN THEORIES OF CLASSICAL LIBERALISM FOUNDERS’ DISCOURSE
Authors:   H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University, Kuts Halyna
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the article is to identify the specifics of the coverage of state power issues in the basic theories of the classical liberalism founders (J. Locke, Ch.-L. de Montesquieu, A. Smith and others). Methods. In methodological terms, the article focuses on the use of research in various areas of political and ideological knowledge. The set of general and special methods of political science became the methodological basis of the article, which provided a comprehensive approach to the problem of identifying the specifics of coverage of state power in the basic theories of the classical liberalism founders. The methodological approach used to analyze the state power idea in the basic theories of the classical liberalism discourse founders, was the internalist version of the historical approach (St. Toulmin). Results. It is stated that the issue of natural human rights (to life, liberty and property) became the basis of the classical liberalism discourse: the equality of all people from birth was postulated, the inalienability of natural rights was substantiated (no one can deprive people of these rights or dispose of them). In the conceptions of the classical liberalism discourse founders, the emphasis was mainly on the idea of the importance of the state power, on the idea of the need for the existence of such an institution as the state. The existence of the state was justified by the need to protect and preserve natural human rights. However, the state is called to protect the privacy and freedom of action (within the law), it was also considered that the scope and sphere of its activities should be restricted by setting limits on the spread of state power (the credo of non-interference «laissez faire»). The establishment of such boundaries presupposes the contractual nature of the relationship between state power and the individual, which excludes all forms of paternalism.
THE END OF THE ARE OF PRODUCTION AND THE CHALLENGE OF INFORMATION POWER
Authors:   G.S. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Proleiev Sergii
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the transformations of the contemporary world. Their core is seen in the historical conclusion of the production era and industrial civilization one. Among the indicators of this phenomenon, there is a radical alternation in the structure of human life activity (in particular, a rapid decrease in the segment of the population within the industrial sphere), as well as the destruction of the «productive person» pattern as the cornerstone of human behavior and the value system. Simultaneously, the discourse of economic growth continues to dominate, which is increasingly inconsistent with reality. This is proved by its investigation in four theoretical projections: 1) the source of the idea of growth and the priority of productivity growth in general; 2) the conditions for reducing everything to the good and on this basis — the project of criticism of the economy quasi-universality; 3) the identification of a performative contradiction in the idea of economic growth based on the fact that there is the self-destruction of a person through economic growth; 4) criticism of utopias of the market and homo еconomicus, which are inseparable values of economic growth. It is stated that the end of production era means, at the same time, the actualization of the ambitious historical task of a person’s conversion to himself, to his nature and organic ability to live. Simultaneously, modern information absorbs a person. The effects of human dependence on information technologies are generalized in the concept of information power as one of the key features of the global world. Overcoming the challenge of information power is an important component for the further development of humanity.
REFERENDUM: THE INSTITUTE OF DEMOCRACY OR THE MEANS OF POLITICAL MANIPULATION?
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Shliakhtun Petro
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the study is to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the constitutional and legal institute of the referendum as a means of direct democracy. The political and legal method of research was used, which consists in the analysis of political and legal norms and political factors, that influences their formation and practical use. The main results and conclusions of the study. The institute of referendum as a system of constitutional and legal norms is analyzed from the point of view of both its democracy and the potential possibilities of its use as a means of political manipulation. The weaknesses of the institute of referendum are highlighted, examples of its use in Ukraine as a way to achieve opportunistic political goals are analyzed. Let us pay attention to the significant narrowing by the new Law of Ukraine «On an all-Ukrainian Referendum» of the rights and possibilities of the citizens of Ukraine to hold a referendum. It is concluded that in independent Ukraine the constitutional and legal institute of the referendum is used not so much for expression of the will of the Ukrainian people, also to directly solve the most important issues of state and public life, but as a way of political manipulation, achieving the political goals desired by the authorities.
Possibilities of using paravertebral blockade in laparoscopic kidney surgery
Authors: Lapkina Irina V. , Ovechkin Alexey M. , Alekseeva Tatyana M. , Slusarenko Roman I. , Bezrukov Evgenii A.
Published: July 2022

A main goal of modern anesthesiology is to reduce the bodys stress response to surgical aggression. This needs a multidisciplinary approach: surgeons reduce the invasiveness of surgery, and anesthesiologists use a multimodal approach in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. They combine general anesthesia with epidural anesthesia (EA), which has not only undeniable and proven advantages but also several disadvantages. An interesting alternative is paravertebral block (PVB), a compromise between neuroaxial (EA) and peripheral nerve block. PVB provides analgesic efficacy comparable to that of EA, but with significantly fewer complications and side effects. Many studies have described the widespread and successful use of PVB in thoracic surgery and endoscopic urology. However, the literature on the use of PVB in laparoscopic renal surgery anesthesia is extremely scarce. Thus, large multicenter studies are needed to determine the place of PVB in the anesthetic management of laparoscopic renal surgery.

This study aimed to analyze the registration of land rights based on inheritance and the legality of the heir certificates made by the headman and district head. The type of research used in this study was normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach—sources of data obtained from primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials.

Authors: Danna Chen
Published: July 2022

Language service in the sanitary crisis: theories and practices in Chinese context technological activities, into its definition. In the fight against the COVID-19 crisis, under the frameworkof “emergency linguistics”, Chinese linguists, digital developers and university students carried outlanguage supports in order to solve the communication problems between authorities, health workers,citizens and foreigners living in China. Specifically, they published manuals of Hubei dialects andinstructions in foreign languages and in basic Chinese on how to protect oneself in the pandemic;moreover, they collected information for the needy communities and cared about the internationalstudents’ psychological state. On the other hand, machine and human translation platforms and mobileapplications were created. However, we notice an inconsistency between the theoretical approachesto the term “language service” and the practices in the pandemic, which is why we suggest caution inthe development of new terms and in the integration of theories and practices.

When I say it’s fine, it is fine: Functions of Meishi-er (It’s fine) by Mandarin-speakers in conversations
Authors: Yuanyuan Li , Yansheng Mao
Published: July 2022

This study aims to investigate the Mandarin-speaker’s use of a frequently occurring responsive marker — Meishi-er (It’s fine) — when interacting in ordinary Chinese scenarios to examine how the use of this marker reflects the speaker’s communicative skills and the characteristics of the interaction. The data consisted of 261 segments of Mandarin conversations which were retrieved from Chinese TV dramas. The results show that Meishi-er is primarily used as a head act and occasionally as a supportive move in the speech act sequence. These uses indicate the collaborative or supportive stance adopted by the speaker, which can help him/her to establish and maintain relationships with his/her counterparts. Second, Meishi-er is primarily used in response to an expression of thanks or an apology, as an expression of consolation, as refusal and self-disclosure avoidance strategies, and a tool for terminating arguments in interpersonal communication, which reflect the speaker’s communicative and social competence. As a rapport-oriented backchannel, Meishi-er has been shown to be one of the preferred responses in communication. In addition, the Mandarin-speaker’s use of Meishi-er not only demonstrates the speaker’s need to cater for facework, but also reflects the particular nature of harmony-driven interaction in ordinary Chinese contexts.

In the case of the Chinese language, due to its peculiarities, most of the standard textbookcontinue to be based on the synthetic syllabus, which reflects the importance of language structure.How to achieve the balance between language structure and function is a question that must beconsidered and resolved within the teaching of Chinese and the compilation of textbooks. To achievethis integration of form and meaning in standard Chinese manuals, as well as the promotion of thestudent's communicative competence, the investigation intends use the task-based approach, whichfocuses on the meaning and use of language, as a complementary method to structuralist didacticstrategies. To exemplify the application of this method, the localized textbook Camino al Chino hasbeen taken as a model, which will address the way in which the task-based approach can be introducedin the presentation, practice and production phases in a standard manual.

Authors: SAĞLAM LİMAN Yağmur , ERATAŞ SÖNMEZ Filiz
Published: July 2022

In this study, it is aimed to explain the effects of trade wars, which are mostly caused by new protectionism practices, on the world economy. In this direction, an empirical model is created using the SVAR analysis for the period of 1990-2020. Application findings show that new protectionism tools and policies have permanent effects on world trade in the short term; however, these effects disappear in the long term. Trade wars have no winners. If the main goal, in the long run, is to increase welfare in the world economy, new protectionism practices, that have negative effects on world trade, should be avoided.
