Published: December 2020

The tourism industry is an important element of the socio-economic development of the regions of our state at the present stage. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the priority areas for the implementation of the tourist potential in the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the prospects for achieving the target indicators of increasing internal and incoming flows in the regions of Russia. The authors structured the main problems and barriers to the development of tourism in Russia. Attention is focused on the development of automobile tourism and the need to create conditions for this, including legal support tools, the development of service infrastructure, concessional lending, the development of special routes and accompanied by communication support in the mass media. As a result of the study, it was found that with the approval of the national project "Tourism and the hospitality industry" and the separation of the Federal Agency for Tourism into an independent executive body with the necessary powers in the field of regulation and development of tourism, the tourism industry has acquired a strategic character. In this regard, it is necessary to link the priority tasks of the Strategy with the provisions of the national project and regional programs for tourism development.
SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ADAPTATION OF PERSONNEL AS A FACTOR IN THE EFFICIENCY OF ORGANIZATIONAL INTERACTION
Authors:   Saint Petersburg University of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia, ASTAFICHEVA E.Y.
Published: December 2020

The purpose of the study: analysis of the mechanism of socio-psychological adaptation of personnel as a factor in ensuring the effectiveness of organizational interaction in corporations. The subject of research: corporate relations that develop in the process of social and psychological adaptation of personnel. Social and psychological adaptation of personnel requires special, organizationally separate attention of corporate management. The personnel adaptation process should not be "let loose" or be mixed with the professional adaptation of workers. The management of the corporation must have a planned program of action specifically aimed at ensuring the social and psychological adaptation of personnel to changes. As a result of the study, it was substantiated that socio-psychological adaptation as an institution of organizational behavior has an internal structure, the most significant components of which are the adaptation of “newcomers”, their “entry into the team”; development by employees of new job duties due to internal corporate changes; staff getting used to the new conditions of the corporation.

CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE POLITICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION 2020 (EXPERIENCE OF EXPERT ASSESSMENTS)
Authors:   Voronezh State University, GLUKHOVA A.V. , SHCHEGLOVA D.V. ,   Higher School of Economics
Published: December 2020

The purpose of the article is to study the conditions and consequences of reforming the political system by adjusting the Constitution as its political and legal basis. The research methodology in solving the assigned tasks is the political, legal and legal approaches in the interpretation of the legality and legitimacy of the decisions made; systemic, communicative and conflictological approaches in assessing the transformation of the political and legal foundations of the political regime. An all-Russian expert survey was conducted (70 experts, 25 cities of the Russian Federation), which made it possible to assess the content of the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in terms of the emergence of risks to the stability of the political system. As a result of the performed political science analysis, the attitude of experts to the content and procedure for amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation was revealed. According to experts, the most illegal are (in descending order): "zeroing" of presidential terms; popular vote; form of amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Among those who consider the amendments to be legal, there are more representatives of two age cohorts: up to 40 years old and over 64 years old, although negative assessments remain dominant in this case. Middle-aged people are more critical. The scientific degree (doctors / candidates of science), as well as the field of professional activity (lawyers / non-lawyers) practically do not differ in assessing the legal nature of the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation (with the exception of certain points).

HISTORIAN AND PHILOSOPHER M.S. VOSLENSKY ABOUT THE RULING CLASS OF THE SOVIET SOCIETY
Authors:   Orel State University named after I.S. Turgenev, GORLOV A.V.
Published: December 2020

The purpose of the article is to analyze M.S. Voslensky’s historical and philosophical views, summa-rized in his work “Nomenclature. The dominant class of the Soviet Union”. In this work, Voslensky using the Marxist class analysis demonstrates the antagonistic nature of the Soviet society. The author of the article agrees with Voslensky’s thesis that the ruling class in the Soviet society was not the bureaucracy. The article illustrates that he mistakenly describes the origin of the Soviet nomen-clature in the framework of his artificially created conspiracy theory, according to which the nomen-clature members are feudal lords who seek to stop capitalist development. The author suggests that the basis of the historical groundlessness of Voslensky’s views is the false interpretation of capital-ism as a social system under which the liberal (classically interpreted) bourgeoisie dominates. That is why Voslensky desires to show that the Soviet ruling class is not bourgeois. According to the au-thor of the article, Voslensky was mistaken, because he did not see that not the liberal but the state bourgeoisie dominated in the Soviet society.

SOBREPESO, OBESIDADE E HIPERTENSÃO ARTERIAL SISTÊMICA EM IDOSOS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Dos Santos Raquel , Santos Barbosa Rafael , Assis Lozado Yasmin , Da Silva Caires Sabrina , Dos Santos Lucas
Published: December 2020

O envelhecimento é composto por alterações morfológicas, a exemplo do acúmulo excessivo de gordura, que torna o idoso mais propenso ao acometimento de comorbidades, como a Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS), que, por sua vez, proporciona maior risco para desfechos desfavoráveis à saúde. Assim, o presente estudo objetiva averiguar a associação entre sobrepeso/obesidade e HAS em idosos. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, realizada nas bases de dados Latina- Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde e Scientific Electronic Library Online. Verificou-se 470 manuscritos científicos. Deste, quatro foram selecionados à revisão. As populações estudadas variaram de 477 a 963 idosos, com média de idade entre 65,0 ±9,0 e 73,0 ±8,9 anos.  As prevalências de sobrepeso/obesidade oscilaram entre 34,2 e 77,4%, enquanto as de hipertensão arterial, de 62,8 a 76,8%. Observou-se, em um dos estudos, que os idosos obesos apresentaram 3,85 vezes mais chances de serem hipertensos, quando comparados aos eutróficos. Outro estudo mostrou que as idosas e os idosos hipertensos, possuíam, respectivamente, em média, um índice de massa corporal 3,22 e 2,27 kg/m2 maior que os não hipertensos. Ademais, observou-se entre os idosos obesos, uma prevalência de hipertensão 40% maior que a entre os com peso normal. Averiguou-se elevadas prevalências de hipertensão arterial e sobrepeso/obesidade, bem como associações entre estas condições nos idosos avaliados. Assim, torna-se imprescindível a adoção de ações de vigilância à saúde, como o monitoramento do estado nutricional, a fim de se triar os idosos com maior vulnerabilidade à HAS e suas possíveis complicações.

Published: December 2020

Saline-alkali soils are widely distributed in China, affecting plant
growth and sustainable development of ecosystems. This study
characterized the effects of planting Melia azedarach L. on chemical
properties and microbial communities in saline-alkali soils [bare
(CK), bulk (BS) and rhizosphere soil (RS)]. Compared with the bare
soil, planting Melia azedarach L. lowered salt content and
concentrations of extractable Na, K, Ca, Mg and Cl-, but significantly
increased organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available
phosphorus, soil urease activity and alkaline phosphatase activity in
the rhizosphere soil. High-throughput sequencing results indicated that
bacterial richness and diversity decreased in the order
RS>BS>CK. The richness of fungi was ranked
RS>CK>BS, and their diversity decreased in the
order CK>RS>BS. The three dominant bacterial
phyla were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes, and the
three dominant fungal phyla were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and
Glomeromycota. Redundancy analysis indicated that total phosphorus
concentration and alkaline phosphatase activity significantly influenced
bacterial diversity, whereas soil Ca and Mg concentrations were closely
related to the fungal community diversity. In conclusion, planting Melia
azedarach L. improved soil properties, increased the diversity and
richness of soil microbial communities, and thus ameliorated the
saline-alkali soil.

Mapping and monitoring the Trees outside Forests (ToF) is gaining
significance in the scientific community as they provide critical
ecosystem services such as protecting soil and water resources, wildlife
habitat, energy efficiency etc. Also, quantifying ToF can provide useful
information on emissions estimation in the Agriculture, Forests, and
Other Land Use (AFOLU) category of the Intergovernmental Panel for
Climate Change (IPCC). Despite the importance of quantifying ToF, very
few studies have attempted to quantify them in India’s natural resource
inventory programs. In this study, we focus on Haryana state, India, to
map ToF using very high-resolution (VHR) Indian Remote Sensing (IRS)
satellite data. Haryana’s landscape is highly interspersed with
croplands and ToF, thus providing a challenging environment to test VHR
satellite data’s ability to quantify the diversified landscape
structure. We specifically used Cartosat-1 panchromatic (2.5m) and
Multispectral LISS IV (5.8m) datasets to quantify the vegetation and
build a much-needed database on ToF. We used a novel classification
scheme based on the geometry, i.e., point, polygon, or polygon
formations, to quantify ToF at 1:10,000 scale. Our results suggest ToF
with the point, area, and linear block formations of about 2,774,531,
20.51, and 128.83 sq. km, respectively, accounting for
~3.38% of the total study area . Our study highlights
the usefulness of VHR satellite data and fused imagery to quantify ToF
in highly diverse landscapes, with the case study in Haryana State,
India. The results will help address vital ecosystem services from ToF,
including greenhouse gas emissions quantification from the AFOLU
category.

Introduction: An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the
most reliable therapeutic device for preventing sudden cardiac death in
patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). Regarding the
effectiveness of the ICD, targeted VT is defined based on the
tachyarrhythmia cycle length. However, variation of the RR interval
variability of VTs does occur. A few studies reported on VT
characteristics and effects of ICD therapy according to RR interval
variability. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics
of VTs and effects of ICD therapy according to RR interval variability.
Methods: We analyzed 821 VT episodes in 69 of 185 patients treated with
ICDs or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators. VTs were
classified as regular or irregular based on RR interval variability. We
evaluated successful termination using anti-tachycardia pacing
(ATP)/shock therapy, spontaneous termination, and acceleration between
regular and irregular VTs. Reproducibility of the RR interval
variability in one VT episode and within an individual with recurrent VT
episodes was evaluated. Results: Regular VT was significantly more
successfully terminated than irregular VT by ATP therapy. There was no
significant difference in shock therapy or VT acceleration, irrespective
of the variability of the VT cycle length. Spontaneous termination of VT
occurred significantly more often in irregular than in regular VT.
Reproducibility of RR interval variability in an episode and individual
was 89% and 73%, respectively. Conclusion: ATP therapy showed greater
effectiveness for regular than for irregular VT. Spontaneous termination
was more common in irregular than in regular VT. RR interval variability
of VTs is reproducible.
Modeling the Influence of the Composition of Refractory Elements on the Heat Resistance of Nickel Alloys by a Deep Learning Artificial Neural Network
Authors: TARASOV Dmitry , Milder Oleg , Tiagunov Andrei
Published: December 2020

Nickel alloys are widely used in the production of gas turbine parts.
The alloys show resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation under
severe long-term stress and high temperatures. One of the major
mechanical properties of the alloys is the high-temperature rupture
strength, which is measured after a specimen is heated to a certain
temperature and held for a certain time considering deformation.
Determining the influence of certain elements on the properties of an
alloy is a complex scientific and engineering problem that affects the
time and cost of developing new materials. Simulation is a great chance
to cut costs. In this paper, we predict a high-temperature strength
based on the composition of refractory elements in alloys using a deep
learning artificial neural network. We build the model based on prior
knowledge of the composition of the alloys, information on the role of
alloying elements, type of crystallization, test temperature and time,
and the tensile strength. Successful simulation results show the
applicability of this method in practice.

Authors: Güngör SERAP , Tosun Betul , Unal Nursemin , Dusak Ismail
Published: December 2020

Aim: Dyspnea, a common symptom of novel coronavirus, can negatively
affect sleep quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
relationship between dyspnea severity and sleep quality in patients with
COVID-19. Study Design: A cross-sectional design was used. Methods:
Using the researcher’s mobile phone, data were collected via an online
questionnaire from patients (n=100) who agreed to participate in the
study. The data-collection form comprised three parts: a patient
descriptive information form, the Dyspnea–12 Questionnaire, and the
Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire. Results: The mean age of
patients was 46.39±12.61 years and 66.0% were male. Patients who were
treated in the intensive care unit, had bachelor’s degree or more and
patients with comorbid diseases had low mean scores from the RCSQ and
high mean scores from the Dyspnea–12 Questionnaire (p<0.001,
p<0.001; p=0.047, p<0.001;p<0.001,
p<0.00,1,respectively).Patients who not receiving oxygen
therapy had higher RCSQ mean scores and lower Dyspnea–12 Questionnaire
scores (p<0.001, p<0.001; p<0.001,
p<0.001, respectively). There was a strong negative
relationship between the total scores obtained from the
Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and the Dyspnea–12
Questionnaire(r= -701, p<.001). Conclusions: Sleep quality is
affected by dyspnea severity in patients with COVID-19. Sleep quality
and dyspnea severity are also influenced by quite different factors, and
these should be addressed and eliminated by nurses as part of a holistic
approach. The results of this study will help nurses, especially those
providing treatment and care for patients with COVID-19, to identify the
factors affecting dyspnea and sleep quality and to plan, implement, and
evaluate nursing interventions that will reduce their workload.

Authors: Maughan Elizabeth , Rotman Anthony , Rouhani Maral , Thong Gerard , Poncia James , Myatt John , Yaghchi Chadwan Al , Sandhu Gurpreet
Published: December 2020

Abstract Objectives: In most cases, suspension laryngoscopy (SL) is
efficient, bloodless and with minimal post-procedure discomfort. We
aimed to identify predictive patient factors for acceptable surgical
views at SL as well as quantify our tertiary airway unit’s complication
rates. Design: Prospective cohort study of 150 consecutive
microlaryngoscopy procedures involving SL over an 8-month period between
November 2019 and July 2020. Patients were assessed pre-operatively for
pre-existing oral, temporomandibular, dental, pharyngeal or laryngeal
pathology, interincisor distance and qualitative gross limitations to
neck extension and forward head posture. Intraoperatively, the
laryngoscopic view was graded by anesthetic and surgical teams, and
complications were recorded on patient interview in recovery. Setting:
Tertiary adult airway service for predominantly benign pathology.
Results: Adequate surgical views were obtained in 149/150 procedures.
BMI and limitations to chin and neck movement had mild positive
correlations with more difficult views in their own rights, but did not
correlate with a statistically significant increase in complications.
There was a negative correlation between age and interincisor gap
(p=0.014), and wider mouth opening correlated with a lower incidence of
sore throat (p=0.023). Macroglossia showed a statistically significant
positive correlation with tongue symptoms (p=1.611x10-8). Conclusion: In
the context of an experienced airway unit with a high caseload of
predominantly benign pathology, SL is very effective and safe with low
associated morbidity and no mortality. Patient-reported neck and chin
movement were found to correlate well with the surgical view obtained.
The most common complication of SL is temporary sore throat and there
remain recognized risks of temporary tongue and dental symptoms.

Authors: Tripp Connor , Gehi Anil , Rosman Lindsey , Anthony Scarlett , Sears Samuel
Published: December 2020

Abstract Background: The patient experience of atrial fibrillation (AF)
involves several daily self-care behaviors and ongoing confidence to
manage their condition. Currently, no standardized self-report measure
of AF patient confidence exists. The purpose of this study is to
establish the reliability and validity of a newly developed confidence
in AF management measure. Methods: This study provides preliminary
analysis of the Confidence in Atrial FibriLlation Management (CALM)
scale, which was rationally developed to measure patient confidence
related to self-management of AF. The scale was provided to a sample of
AF patients N=120, (59% male) electronically through a patient
education platform. Principle components analysis (PCA) and Cronbach’s
alpha were employed to provide preliminary assessment of the validity
and reliability of the measure. Results: PCA identified a four-factor
solution. Internal consistency of the CALM was considered excellent with
Cronbach’s α = .910. Additional PCA confirmed the value of a single
factor solution to produce a total confidence score for improved utility
and ease of clinical interpretation. Conclusions: Initial assessment of
a novel scale measuring patient confidence in managing AF provided
promising reliability and validity. Patient confidence in
self-management of AF may prove useful as a key marker and endpoint of
the patient experience beyond QOL.

Introduction: There are limited data describing the experience of index
radiofrequency (RF) vs. cryoballoon (CB) ablation for atrial
fibrillation (AF) among elderly patients in the United States. Methods:
We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients > 75
years of age undergoing index AF ablation between January 2010 and March
2019 at our center. Major complications and efficacy, defined as freedom
from any atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) lasting ≥30 seconds after one year
of follow-up, were assessed in patients with index RF vs. CB ablation.
Predictors of ATA recurrence at 1 year follow-up were also evaluated.
Results: In our cohort of 194 patients, the mean age was 78 ± 3.1 years,
58.2% were men, and 39.4% had persistent AF. The mean left atrial (LA)
diameter was 4.5 ± 0.7, while the mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 3.5 ± 1.2.
The majority (n=149, 76.8%) underwent RF ablation. The incidence of
complications was similar in the two sub-groups (RF: 1.3% vs. CB:
2.2%, p=0.67). No significant difference in success rate at 1-year
follow-up was found between patients receiving RF vs. CB ablation
(59.7% vs. 66.7%, p=0.68). In a multivariable model adjusting for the
relevant covariates only LA size [HR=1.64, CI: 1.15-2.34,
p<0.01] was independently associated with ATA recurrence at
1year follow-up. Conclusion: In our cohort of elderly patients
undergoing index CA for AF, RF ablation was the predominant modality
with similar safety and efficacy relative to CB ablation. LA size was a
significant predictor of ATA recurrence at 1year independent of index
ablation modality.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer la cantidad y la frecuencia con que las personas de Arandas en la región de los Altos de Jalisco emplean los vasos desechables para luego saber qué tan dispuestas están en utilizar vasos comestibles elaborados con gelatina natural. Al respecto, vale comentar que estos no solo pueden ser nutritivos para quienes los consuman (pues la gelatina es un nutriente fortificante creada a partir de la piel y el hueso de cerdos y vacas), sino que también se podrían degradar en pocos días o ser ingeridos por los animales. Para recabar la información se empleó una encuesta constituida por seis interrogantes, la cual fue aplicada a 31 personas por vía telefónica y a otras 345 de manera personal (en ambos casos se aplicaron a jóvenes y adultos). Los resultados demuestran que los pobladores de esa localidad usan considerablemente vasos de plásticos en los distintos eventos que se realizan cada semana, los cuales son más numerosos en las fiestas patronales o de fin de año. Aun así, estas personas estarían dispuestas a cambiar estos hábitos, aunque para ello se deben tomar medidas que no afecten a las empresas de esa zona, las cuales trabajan principalmente con plásticos y generan un alto porcentajes de empleos.

The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly affected all social structures of life, from denominations, socio-culture, tourism and even education. In this condition, almost all activities are carried out from home, including school from home, where at the tertiary level there is one course that must be done directly in the community, namely KKN. Then the solution is online KKN. The program implemented is data collection on various matters related to Covid-19 and education on the prevention of Covid-19. The approach is carried out through social media, namely Whatsapp to the local government to collect data and social media Facebook or Youtube for the publication of activities for making Covid-19 prevention media in the form of posters, infographics and videos. Involving several partners, namely Madrasah Teachers for the socialization of PPE in the form of masks and MTs Teachers for making learning videos. Another program is the creation of an application containing Covid-19 explanations for elementary school students named CO.AP (Covid Application).

Published: December 2020

There are at least two factors that trigger problems in the Qur`an learning in the industrial era 4.0: the rejection of changes that occur in educators and acceptance of changes, but the available technological infrastructure cannot support learning of the Qur`an into the realm of education in the era industry 4.0. This resulted in failure in learning the Qur`an. The manifestations of this failure are in the form of unsuccessful character building for students to have Qur`anic characters, fading love of students for the Qur`an, loss of students' polite behavior, and limited material received only limited to cognitive knowledge without performance abilities. By using the descriptive-explorative method, this paper produces findings that the problems of learning the Qur`an in the industrial era, namely: the use of the Qur`an learning method which is monotonous, the learning strategy of the Qur`an is not yet right, the lack of facilities. infrastructure that supports learning Qur`an, there has not been any transformation and innovation of the Qur`an learning that takes advantage of technological sophistication, the lack of professional educators, and lack of support from the environment for the realization of a triple education center.

This study aims to explain some material descriptions of fiqh siyasah covering four things, namely an explanation of the theory of fiqh siyasah in madrasas and schools, factors of fiqh siyasah, the urgency of fiqh siyasah in madrasas and schools and implementation of fiqh siyasah in madras and schools. Therefore, this study explores the theory of fiqh siyasah in madras and schools. The author describes the concept of fiqh siyasah in science, which discusses matters for the affairs of the State. The people of various forms of regulations, laws, and policies. That have been made by leaders who agree with or are in line with the basic teachings of the Sharia in order to realize the benefit of the people. In its implementation, the concept of fiqh can be seen in madrasas so that a comprehensive level of inculcating these fiqh values can be achieved. Therefore, this is very important to be taught to average students. If at the previous school level, students were only required to be able to understand the existing doctrines in fiqh. According to one or more schools, then in this madrasas an understanding of a difference of opinion or view in the prediction of fiqh learning is given. In addition, students must also be able to implement the science of fiqh. In everyday life so that, this becomes a form so that the goals of Islamic education are achieved.

Honey, the sweet, nutritious substance produced by honeybees, is of good nutritional and medicinal importance to consumers. The present study aimed at comparing the nutritional compositions of pure and adulterated honey samples collected directly from the honey beekeepers from Kano South Senatorial District of Kano State, Nigeria. For this purpose, a total of three samples each were randomly collected from three randomly selected local governments of the Senatorial District and analyzed for some nutritional values. Similarly, an adulterated honey sample was randomly collected from each of the three local governments. The mean nutritional values obtained for the pure sample were as follows: Moisture content (17.69-18.02%); crude fat (0.89-1.29%); crude protein (0.02-0.13%); ash content (0.44-0.51%); carbohydrate content (80.16-80.75%); energy values (1386.613-1396.157 KJ/100 g). While the adulterated honey sample recorded the following results: Moisture content (24.01%); crude fat (0.94%); crude protein (1.26%); ash content (2.64%); carbohydrate content (71.15%); energy values (1247.847 KJ/100 g). These results indicate that the pure honey sample analyzed are of good quality, as such could be used for both nutritional and medicinal purposes, having met the international honey standards. On the other hand, the adulterated honeys should always be used with care since they usually fall below the international honey standards.

Published: December 2020

In this article, we describe the synthesis of two new triheterocyclic regioisomers, named 4-({4-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}methyl)-4-ethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole and 4-({5-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl}methyl)-4-ethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole. The action of 1-(propargyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole on 4-(azidomethyl)-4-ethyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole, in a very small quantity of toluene, led after 48 hours at 120 °C to two regioisomers with an overall yield of 90%. The allocation of structures to these two regioisomers was carried out based on a comparative spectroscopic study using 1D NMR of the proton and carbon 13, as well as based on data from the literature concerning the cycloaddition reaction.
