Texas Resistance: Mexican American Studies and the Fight Against Whiteness and White Supremacy in K-12 at the Turn of the 21st Century
Authors: Puente Josué , Alvarez Stephanie
Published: September 2021

This essay recounts the efforts by various groups throughout Texas with a special emphasis on the Rio Grande Valley to implement Mexican American Studies at the turn of the twenty-first century. We offer a historical timeline of events that demonstrates how the Mexican American Studies course came into existence. We also detail the way in which some Mexican American Studies courses were implemented. In other cases, we describe the way different groups were able to offer professional development to teachers to help them incorporate more Mexican American Studies content in their non-Mexican American studies courses or provide the community with the resources on how to include Mexican American Studies at their school. The common theme throughout is an undeniable resistance and mobilization on the part of many, hundreds, of educators, students, and community members to ensure that the youth do not continue to receive a whitewashed education, to ensure that students receive a more accurate representation of history, culture, language, and literature. In essence, the essay details a very hard-fought battle against White supremacy in the schools at the turn of the twenty-first century in Texas in which Mexican American Studies emerged victorious many steps of the way.

The history and role of private military firms in the modern global politics
Authors: Veselov Yuriy Aleksandrovich
Published: September 2021

The article considers a topical modern phenomenon of international relations - the role of private military firms and their connection with the national interests of states, which is the object of this research. The author attempts to trace back the process of establishment of the modern form of private military firms and extend the periodization of this process. The author considers and generalizes the works of outstanding Russian researchers and military experts. This interdisciplinary research is at the nexus of political science, law, history and economics. The author gives special attention to specific publicly available information about the largest and the most influential private military firms and their incomes and the most controversial operations. The author believes that most modern private military firms are state-originated, have emerged as a result of privatization of state functions, and serve as an example of government outsourcing. Based on the analysis of the works of leading military experts, the author develops a specific classification of the phenomenon of private military firms, the pros and cons of their use by states and trans-national corporations, and specifies the main services private military firms offer. Special attention is given to the issue of “sovereign interests” in the use of private military firms. The author supposes that the research also explains the problem of underdevelopment of international legal basis regulating the activities of private military firms.

Przykłady łamania reguły zakonnej przez kanoników regularnych z Żagania w średniowieczu w świetle kroniki klasztornej
Authors: Witczak Zbigniew Krzysztof
Published: September 2021

Życie wewnętrzne w średniowiecznych klasztorach nie zawsze przebiegało w zgodzie z przyjętymi zasadami, które z założenia powinny być przecież rygorystycznie przestrzegane. Dotyczyło to zarówno braci, ojców, wyższych funkcyjnych klasztornych, a nawet samych opatów. Kronika klasztoru kanoników regularnych w Żaganiu dostarcza nam wielu przykładów łamania reguły zakonnej. Nadużywanie alkoholu, zbyt częste kontakty z kobietami czy nieposłuszeństwo wobec przełożonych – to tylko niektóre z problemów, z którymi borykali się żagańscy kanonicy. Wydaje się, że w takim zabytku dziejopisarstwa średniowiecznego pokazywane powinny być raczej pozytywne przykłady, które miały zachęcać do cnotliwego postępowania, a nie negatywne czyny, a nawet zbrodnie. Okazuje się jednak, że prezentacja tego, co złe, miała charakter dydaktyczny. Pokazywała czytającym, jak nie należy postępować, czego unikać, aby nie ściągnąć na siebie i cały konwent nieszczęść, oskarżeń albo gniewu – czy to braci, czy przełożonego konwentu. Informacje o grzechach i występkach pełniły również funkcję kontrastującą, podkreślając, jak wprowadzone reformy życia wewnętrznego przez dobrych opatów wpływały na zmiany w sposobie postępowania i życia całego konwentu. Dzięki zaprezentowaniu pozytywnych i negatywnych przykładów te pierwsze widzimy jako jeszcze lepsze, jeszcze godniejsze naśladowania i zapamiętania.
Dom przy via Cassia – mała Polska w Rzymie
Authors: Urbanowicz Beata
Published: September 2021

Polskę i Włochy łączy szczególna wspólnota religijna i kulturowa, którą przez wieki wzmacniali polscy pielgrzymi przybywający do Wiecznego Miasta. Dlatego też powstała pilna potrzeba utworzenia w Rzymie ośrodka dla przebywających tam Polaków i Polonii. W 1980 r. zakupiono dom przy via Cassia w rzymskiej dzielnicy Giustiniana, który rok później ofiarowano papieżowi Janowi Pawłowi II. Jak wynika z badań, Dom Polski w Rzymie stanowił i stanowi w pewnym sensie oazę polskości, skrawek polskiej ziemi poza Polską, miejsce dialogu naukowego, religijnego i kulturowego, gdzie popularyzuje się polskie dziedzictwo i ubogaca je o wartości humanistyczne i chrześcijańskie.
Z dziejów klasztoru franciszkanów w Górze na Śląsku
Authors: Karczewski Dariusz
Published: September 2021

W 1457 r. papież Kalikst III wydał na prośbę księcia cieszyńsko-głogowskiego Władysława zgodę na ufundowanie poza murami miasta Góra klasztoru i kościoła pw. Bożego Ciała. W bulli zapisano, że fundacja miała być przeznaczona dla franciszkanów-obserwantów (bernardynów). Ostatecznie jednak nowy konwent zasiedlili franciszkanie-minoryci. Była to ostatnia na średniowiecznych ziemiach polskich fundacja klasztorufranciszkańskiego. Klasztor w Górze należał pod względem organizacji zakonnej do kustodii gnieźnieńskiej w czesko-polskiej prowincji franciszkanów. Oficjalny dokument fundacyjny klasztoru książę wystawił w 1458 r. W 1462 r. papież Pius II zatwierdził fundację nowego domu zakonnego wraz z jego uposażeniem, powołując się na wcześniejszą zgodę biskupa wrocławskiego Piotra II Nowaka (1447–1456), władz miejskich Góry i miejscowego proboszcza. Konwent górowski najprawdopodobniej został obsadzony przez zakonników z Głogowa, za czym przemawiać może bliskość obu tych miast i podległość jednemu władcy. Inspirację tego dzieła przypisuje się górowskiemu bractwu Bożego Ciała. Klasztor zbudowano na przedmieściu, przy drodze do wsi Kajęcin. Jego uposażenie gospodarcze było bardzo skromne. Początkowo obejmowało tylko grunt na postawienie budynków, staw rybny i kawałek roli. Nieco rozszerzył je w 1468 r. książę cieszyńsko-głogowski Przemko II – brat fundatora i jego następca. W początku XVI w. klasztor podupadł i zaczął wyprzedawać sweposiadłości. Wskutek szerzącej się reformacji, ok. 1534 r. klasztor został całkowicie opuszczony przez zakonników, a jego majątek biskup wrocławski Jakub von Salza przekazał proboszczowi parafii pw. św. Katarzyny w Górze.
The Motifs of “Native” and “Other” in Modern Postcolonial Russian Prose
Authors: Maroshi V. V.
Published: September 2021

The article examines the role of the opposition of “one’s own” and “someone else’s” in modern Russian prose – in V. Rasputin’s novel “Ivan’s Daughter, Ivan’s Mother” (2003), A. Volos’ novels “Khurramabad” (2000), V. Medvedev’s “Zahhok” (2017) and V. Galaktionova’s “On the Island of Buyan” (2003). The actualization of this opposition is due to the traumatic effect of the post-Soviet reality both in Russia and on the national outskirts of the former USSR. The article also clarifies the features of the post-colonial situation for the post-Soviet world and uses the metaphor of colonization proposed by Habermas. In particular, the destruction of the social environment familiar to the characters under the onslaught of the “alien” has become one of the most noticeable plot-forming factors of modern prose. The xeno- phobia of Rasputin and Galaktionova extends not so much to other nations, but to everything “alien”, including foreign discursive practices, new things, and the totality of the Lebenswelt surrounding the protagonists. The characters of Rasputin’s story overcome alienation and self-alienation, undergo a crisis of “their” common world and “their” personal one. The village of Buyan, which is similar to an island in Galaktionova’s novel, is portrayed as a unique archaic place where only «friends» who do not accept “strangers” live. It preserves the communal id- yll and traditional austerity of morals. Postcolonial novels about the civil war in Tajikistan are united by the motifs of loss of the motherland for the Russian natives of the country who are forced to leave for Russia which is foreign for them (“Khurramabad”) or to flee to an even more hostile location – a rural village (“Zahhok”). However, the Tajik characters are also divided into “friends” and “strangers”. The hybrid ethnic and cultural identity of the characters that lies between “their own” and “alien” (the Russian and Tajik worlds respectively) is inherent to several of the most important characters of both novels and it creates a dangerous conflict for them. The resolution of conflicts and collisions in both novels is the characters’ attempt to migrate to a new space which leads to an increase in alienation.

Listener as Narrative Category in “The Orphan’s Tales” by Catherynne M. Valente
Authors: Makarova E. L.
Published: September 2021

Created in the form of “1001 Nights” “The Orphan’s Tales” by Catherynne M. Valente is filled with intertwined stories and plots. The article is devoted to the origin of a “story within a story” and its manifestation in the novel.

The need of transferring the sacred knowledge of myth was the reason of emergence of coherent narratives, which aimed to support and approve the human beings in the unknown world around them. By his storytelling the narrator asserts the right to exist, in the verbal way he reflects the cycle of natural phenomena. He states the threefold semantic equivalence: his divine embodiment as the protagonist, the related to this his actions and gestures (acts) and his story about himself and his deeds.

As a verbal sacrifice the story is offered to the god – the only listener who is able to understand and to accept it. This kind of tale keeps the signs of sacral. The intention to verbal concealing of the sacred was implemented in the structure of “story within a story”, or embedded stories.

When we highlight the listener as the separate category in storytelling, we can describe it in the following way. Listener is an equal participant of sacral narrating. Like the storyteller the listener carries out the function of co-creating – he duplicates the storyteller on the semantic level.

As for “The Orphan’s Tales”, the unique discourse of telling-listening as stated trough the numerous characters who tell and listen to each other. They carry out some particular functions: active listener; listener-transmitter; listener-composer.
Her Life through Their Eyes. Reflections on A. Korevanova’s Book “My Life” (1936), which Arose under the Influence of the Revised Edition “Her Life” (2020)
Authors: Veselkova N. V.
Published: September 2021

The article provides an experience of reflexive reading of the autobiographical book of the Ural “peasant – worker” Agrippina Korevanova “My Life”, published in 1936 by the Moscow publishing house “History of Plants”, using the method of analyzing the narrative through ‘four readings’, focusing attention step by step on the plot and the reader’s reaction, the narrator’s I and the voices of Others, on cultural contexts and social structures. Press responses, Korevanova’s correspondence with publishers and other archival materials are used as context. A special place in this large hypertext is occupied by the revised work within the educational student project of the Ural Federal University, published in 2020 under the title “Her Life”. It focuses on the relevance of trauma talk and Agrippina’s purely personal life story, which gives a basis for polemical discussion.

The peculiarity of the narrative, which at one time “did not give in” to such venerable editors as A. Tikhonov and M. Gorky, and which modern publishers are trying to eliminate, is the lack of coherence and consistency. According to the author of the article, this characteristic incoherence highlights the desire inherent in the construction of the text to combine the passive role of the heroine with her inexhaustible activity. The main and most interesting topic seems to be writing and, more broadly, mastery of the word. Korevanova struggled to enter the world of literature and it is in this field that the rejection of her auto heroine and her own are most dramatic: unrequited requests for help in “writing” (preserved in her archival fund), and difficult relations with the local writing community, and, finally, the multiple edits and shortenings that haunt the work today as well as in 1930s.
DEXMEDETOMIDINA – UMA NOVA OPÇíO PARA SEDAÇíO DE PACIENTES DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA ?
Authors: Oliveira Laura Cavalcanti de , Varotto Bruna Luiza Roim , Camilo Alice de Lima , Nápole Rita de Cássia d’Ottaviano , Antequera Reynaldo
Published: September 2021

Introdução: Dexmedetomidina é considerado um medicamento promissor utilizado para sedação nas mais variadas áreas de saúde. Considerada um agonista Î±-2 central, seu uso é seguro graças í  presença de depressão respiratória mí­nima. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre os efeitos da sedação com o uso de Dexmedetomidina em pacientes portadores do transtorno do espectro autista. Métodos: Para adequada análise, desenvolveu-se uma estratégia de revisão de literatura nas bases de dados Pubmed (MEDLINE), Scielo, Cochrane e Google Acadêmico. Foram incluí­dos artigos em inglês publicados entre 2008 e 2019. Resultados: Foram selecionados 9 artigos, os quais incluem relatos de casos, estudos prospectivos e retrospectivos, estudo comparativo e revisão de literatura. A Dexmedetomidina tem sido cada vez mais utilizada para sedação em pacientes com transtorno do espectro autista, principalmente devido í  falta de colaboração dos mesmos com os profissionais da saúde. Dentre os principais efeitos colaterais advindos de seu uso, destacam-se diminuição da frequência respiratória, assim como redução da pressão arterial. Seu uso tem sido benéfico pois fornece uma importante ausência de agitação, assim como combatividade ou raiva durante a fase de recuperação. Conclusão: A utilização da Dexmedetomidina é viável para a sedação de pacientes com transtorno do espectro autista desde que haja boa acessibilidade í  medicação. É imprescindí­vel que seja realizada uma ampla anamnese e monitorização contí­nua ao longo do procedimento.Palavras-chave: Dexmedetomidina; Transtorno do espectro autista; Sedação e Autismo.
Umiarkowana bezinteresowność. Sztuka i pieniądze w opiniach polskich artystów i artystek
Authors: Krajewski Marek , Frąckowiak Maciej
Published: September 2021

Jednym z najważniejszych mitów założycielskich nowoczesnej sztuki jest przekonanie, iż nie jest ona tworzona dla pieniędzy i by ją kreować artysta musi odrzucić zarabianie jako motyw popychający do jej tworzenia. Co więcej, jak sugerował Bourdieu, to właśnie zaprzeczenie ekonomicznym motywom tworzenia pozwalało artystom akumulować kapitał symboliczny, niezbędny dla uznania ich sztuki za istotną. W artykule konfrontujemy to modernistyczne przekonanie z ustaleniami poczynionymi w dwu niedawno realizowanych ogólnopolskich projektach badawczych, w których badanymi osobami byli twórcy i twórczynie w różnym wieku oraz na różnych etapach kariery. Celem analizy jest zrekonstruowanie stosunku artystów i artystek wobec pieniędzy i zarabiania w sztuce. Rozpatrujemy, jak stosunek ten wyraża się w sposobach myślenia o sztuce, priorytetach zawodowych, czynnikach przygotowujących do zawodu i mających wpływ na rozwój kariery, finansowaniu sztuki oraz głównych problemach artystów tworzących w Polsce. Na podstawie poczynionych ustaleń argumentujemy, iż tym, co definiuje sztukę jako osobną praktykę społeczną, jest dziś raczej realizm, etatyzm, umiarkowane wyrzeczenie oraz racjonalizowanie, a nie bezinteresowność, zaś modernistyczny mit tworzenia jako aktywności wolnej od merkantylnych motywacji wypierany jest przez dyskurs sztuki jako profesji, którego częścią jest też zagadnienie braku bezpieczeństwa socjalnego.
An assessment of the reliability of early warning models on the example of small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry and services sector
Authors: Pitera Rafał
Published: September 2021

Background: An assessment of the prognostic reliability of early warning models.

Research purpose: To determine which of the early warning models has the highest prognostic reliability.

Methods: Literature review and verification of selected early warning tools. Fourteen models were used in the study: eight discrimination models, five logit models, and one scoring model. The study was based on financial data from a sample of 120 entities, classified as small and medium-sized enterprises from the industry and services sector.1

Conclusions: The research results prove the effectiveness of early warning models in assessing the financial condition of enterprises. All models accurately diagnosed over 60% of the entities surveyed. The highest scores were achieved using the scoring model and discriminative models by Jagiełło. The results that show the percentage of accurate diagnoses will support the future selection of models on choosing the right tools to examine enterprises’ financial standing.
Government officials as a quasi-body of Polish state-owned companies
Authors: Postuła Igor , Wieczorek Agata
Published: September 2021

Background: State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), like other joint-stock companies, are determined by external and internal corporate governance mechanisms. In SOEs additionally operate a mechanism that is absent in private companies, i.e., supervision by government officials. The article analyses the impact that such supervision has on SOEs.

Research purpose: The article’s purpose is to demonstrate government officials’ impact on State- Owned Companies (SOCs) and identify its formal and informal determinants.

Methods: The research is multidisciplinary, comprising an analysis of legal regulations and a survey carried out among members of SOCs’ management and supervisory boards and officials of the Ministry of the Treasury who supervise those companies. The research sample encompassed the entire population, i.e., all Polish SOCs where the rights derived from shares are exercised by the Minister of the Treasury and all officials that supervise those companies.

Conclusions: The government officials are a quasi-body of SOCs and a unique corporate governance mechanism that not only supervises companies directly but also influences other corporate governance mechanisms. The administrative nature and political influence on government officials are an obstacle to ensuring the business efficiency of companies that are supposed to respond timely and adequately to specific market situations.
Dorobek piśmienniczy jednostek naukowych z grupy nauk prawnych w świetle oceny parametrycznej z roku 2017
Authors: Drogosz Jacek
Published: September 2021

Przedmiot badań: Proces ewaluacji jednostek naukowych poza ich oceną umożliwia dokona­nie przeglądu piśmiennictwa naukowego, opracowanie rankingów piśmiennictwa, a także oce­nę aktualnego dorobku w aspekcie kolejnej ewaluacji. W artykule zaprezentowano informacje o polskim dorobku piśmienniczym jednostek naukowych sklasyfikowanych jako jednostki z gru­py nauk prawnych. Tekst jest kontynuacją pracy, w której dokonano analizy dorobku jednostek ekonomicznych.

Cel badawczy: Celem badania jest wskazanie najpopularniejszych w dziedzinie nauk praw­nych czasopism, wydawnictw i konferencji naukowych oraz określenie ich znaczenia w kolej­nym procesie ewaluacji (2022). Dokonano porównania do analogicznych aspektów w naukach ekonomicznych. Zwrócono uwagę na zmiany w przepisach w latach 2020–2021. Pozwala to na wyciągnięcie wstępnych wniosków dotyczących realizacji polityki naukowej w zakresie nauk prawnych.

Metoda badawcza: Materiał opracowany został na podstawie danych z ankiet jednostek, które oceniane były w procesie parametryzacji w roku 2017. Stosując metody analityczne, wyodręb­niono informacje o dorobku piśmienniczym pracowników jednostek naukowych z dziedziny nauk prawnych. Dane o czasopismach, wydawnictwach i konferencjach zostały uszeregowane metodą rankingowania. Wzięto pod uwagę różnorodne zapisy danych przez sprawozdających, które to zapisy zostały ujednolicone na potrzeby artykułu. Identyczna metoda została zastosowana w opu­blikowanym wcześniej tekście dotyczącym nauk ekonomicznych.

Wyniki: Z analizy wynika, że część najcenniejszego dorobku piśmienniczego w badanej dys­cyplinie straci znaczenie w kolejnej ewaluacji. Jednak nauk prawnych dotyczy to w mniejszym stopniu niż ekonomicznych. Zwrócono uwagę na konieczność dostosowania się do nowych zasad ewaluacji w celu podniesienia znaczenia dorobku naukowego oraz śledzenia na bieżąco zmian w przepisach prawnych i zawartości wykazów ministerialnych. Wskazano, że reprezentatywność analizowanych publikacji w dorobku naukowym badanych dyscyplin jest tylko częściowa.

New antibiotics in the treatment of urinary tract infections
Authors: Wagenlehner F.M.
Published: September 2021

Antibiotics are very often prescribed for the indication urinary tract infections (UTIs). Therefore, UTIs are an important field for the development of antibiotic resistance. A number of new antibiotics have been tested for the indication complicated UTI / pyelonephritis. These are cephalosporins and carbapenems, in combination with new beta-lactamase inhibitors, cefiderocol as a new type of cephalosporin, plazomicin a new aminoglycoside, eravacycline a new tetracycline, and intravenous fosfomycin. Not all antibiotics are approved in Europe. Although the development of these new substances is promising, these new antibiotics should be used very carefully to avoid the development of new antibiotic resistance against these new substances.
Research of indicators of pro- and antioxidant system in spermoplasm in violation of fertility in men
Authors: Melenevsky O.D. , Chaika O.M. , Tretyakova O.V.
Published: September 2021

The article presents the study results of marker indicators of pro- and antioxidant spermoplasm systems among men of reproductive age with various types of infertility. It is shown that patients who were diagnosed with “secretory male infertility”, had the level of MDA content that was exceeding control indicators in 1.2 times (aЈ0,05) with simultaneous activation of SOD (in 132.2%, aЈ0,05) against the background of slight CAT activity decreasing. The SOD/CAT ratio increased in 1.44 times compared to the control, and the activity of GAOS enzymes was not significantly different from the control group. The condition of  pro- and antioxidant protection system can be classified as “activated” due to “SOD + CAT” link with imbalance in the system, which can lead to progression of cytotoxic effects.

The patients’ segmentation who were diagnosed with “excretory-toxic male infertility” into three subgroups by MDA content in spermoplasm made it possible to establish that the first subgroup was characterized by “compensatory activation” mainly of GAOS against the background of decreasing MDA content, in the second subgroup - indicators of the pro- and anti-radical protection system did not have reliable differences comparing with control results. The third subgroup showed increase of MDA content (66.1%, aЈ0,01) and activity decrease of all anti-radical protection systems. The state of pro- and antioxidant protection system in this subgroup can be classified as “oxidative stress.”

The indicators study of pro-antioxidant systems in spermoplasm among patients with various types of male infertility will allow to carry out pathogenetically justified prevention and correction of conditions, which are accompanied by development of oxidative stress.
Epidemiological features of chronic cystitis in the capital megapolis
Authors: Saidakova N.O. , Stus V.P. , Shulyak O.V. , Havva N.V. , Startseva L.M.
Published: September 2021

The paper presents the results of the analysis for 2008–2017 of the prevalence and incidence of chronic cystitis in the adult population of Kiev based on the data of state, sectoral statistical reports (F.F. No. 12, 20). Two five-year periods are highlighted, the justification for which was the well-known territorial changes in the country; the corresponding indicators served as a comparison, which made it possible to identify the features of the dynamics of the studied processes.

As a result of 10 years of observation, it was revealed that for the city of Kiev, which ranks second in the structure of the prevalence and incidence of chronic cystitis in Ukraine, a decrease in the number of registered patients (by 7.3%) with a simultaneous increase in newly diagnosed patients (by 15.6%; by 25.6% of men and 13.2% of women), in contrast to their overall growth in the country as a whole (by 0.4% and 2.8%, respectively). Prevalence rates (per 100 thousand) after an increase in the first five years are replaced by a decrease in the next period (621.2 to 687.9 versus 627.8 to 533.4). Among women, they were 3.5-4.8 times large; in 2017 – 862.8 versus 176.6 among men. The peculiarity of the incidence was manifested by its increase among women and men in 2013–2017 against the background of a decrease in the previous years; in 2017, the indicators per 100 thousand reached 88.5; among women – 127.2, men – 41.5.

The observed situation of an increase in the incidence of chronic cystitis among the adult population of the capital with a simultaneous decrease in the prevalence allows us to evaluate it as a result of the provided adequate specialized care and, at the same time, indicates the need to study the causes, negative factors, as the basis for the improvement and implementation of disease prevention.

Published: September 2021

Deformations of the coastal accumulative profile during a full storm cycle can be related both to the special aspects of individual storms and to seasonal cycles of wave activity. There is a concept of a “winter” and a “summer” type of coastal profile. The difference between these types of profiles is the isolation of the outer underwater berm in winter due to the transfer of sand material to depth and an increase of slopes in the surf zone in summer due to the transfer of sand material to the shore. In this case, the post-storm relief is determined by the character of the wave intensity reduction phase, i.e., the storm attenuation phase. The attenuation of the storm can be prolonged and accompanied by local peaks in wave heights, which will decrease gradually. In this case, the storm has a high potential for beach recovery and the underwater berm may shift toward the shore. In another case, storm attenuation can occur relatively quickly – the original profile is not recovered and at the end of the storm, the profile shape reflects the erosion in the peak phase. Relevant is the determination of the special features of the resulting deformations at the end of the storm cycle, in particular at the end of the storm attenuation phase. In this paper, the special features of storm deformations of the coastal sand profile, which were observed during field experiment on the Bulgarian coast and during monitoring observations on the Baltic Spit, are considered. In one case (the Bulgarian coast) it is a transition from the typical “summer” profile to the “winter” profile. In another case (Baltic Spit), a shift of the outer underwater berm toward the shore was revealed, which can be considered as a transition to the “summer” profile. It is revealed that the features of the storm attenuation stage in the two cases under consideration have specific differences. It is shown that transformations of the coastal profile, characterized as seasonal, can occur during the full cycle of a single storm event.
CONTENT OF SUSPENDED SUBSTANCES IN MACROPRIENT ESTUARIES OF THE WHITE AND BARENTS SEA RIVERS
Authors: Miskevich I. V. , Leshchev A. V.
Published: September 2021

The statistical characteristics of the content of suspended matter in the macrotidal estuaries of the Kuloi River with a lateral tributary of the Pocha, the Pyya River (White Sea) and the Chesha River in the Barents Sea. Their maximum values in the surface layers of estuarine waters due to the roiling of bottom sediments by tidal currents can reach a level of 500–4000 mg/l and even more. The typical range of fluctuations in the concentration of suspended matter in such river mouths will be 90–720 mg/l for taiga rivers and 200–1830 mg/l for tundra rivers. The higher turbidity of the estuarine waters of the tundra zone is associated with the degradation of its permafrost soils against the background of the observed climate warming. The relationship between suspended solids and salinity distribution at the mouths of small rivers may differ markedly from the conditions observed at the mouths of medium and large rivers.
OPTIMIZATION OF THE LENGTH OF THE TOWING CABLE IN THE OPERATIONAL MAGNETOMETRIC SEARCH OF UNDERWATER OBJECTS
Authors: Nersesov B. A.
Published: September 2021

One of the features of the creation of a new generation of marine magnetometry means is the requirement to increase the efficiency of the search for emergency underwater objects due to a reasonable reduction in the length of the magnetometer towing cable, which ensures a decrease in the length of the search tack. Traditionally, the length of the cablerope of a towed magnetometer is determined taking into account its sensitivity, as well as the magnetic characteristics of the vessel-tug and underwater object. At the same time, the stochastic nature of the search process is ignored, caused by random factors (the uncertain spatial position of the underwater object in the search strip, as well as the orientation noise of the measuring platform). A new approach to the algorithm for processing the statistical information of the magnetometric signals of the underwater object and the towing vehicle in the search bar makes it possible to determine the optimal length of the towing cable. In this case, the problem of minimizing the objective function of the dependence of two alternatives is solved: on the one hand, a decrease in the towing noise as the tow cable length increases, on the other, an increase in the orientation noise caused by the spatio-temporal oscillations of the magnetometer. In addition, the evaluation of the selection of the signal of the underwater object against the background of the towing vehicle interference in terms of the "statistical discrepancy of alternative hypotheses" – the Kullback divergence, makes it possible to optimize the length of the cable-rope with the given probabilistic values of the detection of the underwater object.

Published: September 2021

This paper examines the definition of the market and its types in terms of size and location. It is the agent in which commodities are exchanged and the processes of sale and purchase at various levels. The market developed during different time periods while malls are recently appeared to invade cities.

The research examines the bazaars in Islamic cities and their development and spread in the neighborhoods of cities. These bazaars were formed as part of the city's urban planning, its streets and buildings commensurate with the streets and buildings of the Islamic city. They developed in construction technology and architecture styles during various historical periods. They contain great architectural and construction elements and different sets of decorations and climate treatments, so that they have become unique architectural and construction museums.

A special social relationship is formed in bazaars between the seller and the buyer while the wanderer in these traditional markets enjoys the local products and the spirit of the place with its distinctive architectural work. These bazaars have been established near the Friday mosques, where shoppers visit them, and their importance has been proven over the centuries and will remain the ideal place for shopping in Islamic cities.
Engagement in PC-based, smartphone-based, and paper-based materials: Learning vocabulary through Chinese Stories
Authors: Wang Yijen
Published: September 2021

Various studies have discussed learners’ attitudes and achievement in CALL and MALL (Kiernan & Aizawa, 2004; Lu, 2008; Huang & Lin, 2011, but there has been little research into a combination of these with paper-based materials to date in terms of their attitudes and the factors leading to decisions about which to use. Research has suggested that learners show generally positive attitudes towards using technology for learning, but this is not necessarily reflected in actual usage (e.g., Stockwell, 2010), and there have been few studies that have looked at all three of these methods within a single study. Thus, this study investigated 70 Japanese learners of Chinese to examine their task engagement and attitudes toward PC-based, smartphone-based, and paper-based materials designed to supplement their learning outside the classroom, as well as to identify the potential reasons behind their choice of method. All of the materials were largely the same, but the materials on the website and mobile application included several interactive activities that were not possible to replicate with the paper-based materials. The study was carried out over an eight-week period in three classes, and the learners could choose which materials to use at any point throughout the period. Data collection included weekly, pre- and post- surveys, along with interviews to determine how they framed the activities as a supplement of their courses. The results revealed that learners made informed decisions about what materials they used, with which technological difficulties, learning strategies and conditions had varying effects on engagement and attitude.

Wind energy is one of the new renewable energy sources that can be used to generate electricity. The application of microgrids is expected to reduce the use of fossil fuels. PT PLN UP3B West Kalimantan has a greenfield type SST (Self Support Tower) communication tower with a height of 52 meters. This study aims to test the wind speed acquisition system in real-time on the SST tower. This research was conducted because there is no research on the design of the wind speed acquisition system on the SST Tower. Wind speed measurement data is obtained from the anemometer sensor mounted on the top of the SST Tower. The wind speed measurement data is sent to the MQTT broker and database using the MQTT protocol with the help of a microcontroller and communication media so that the measurement data can be monitored in real-time using the Grafana application either through local or public networks. The study was conducted from February 6 to 27, 2021. As a result, the wind speed data acquisition system managed to collect 5,501,689 wind speed measurement data stored in the database with an average wind speed of 3.03 m/s.

The ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from the decidua, chorionic tissue and amniotic membrane of the placenta to the self-renewal and the proliferation was investigated. Our results revealed that the number of colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) and the growth rate of MSCs were higher in the decidua and chorionic tissue compared to the amniotic membrane. Decidua MSCs and chorionic MSCs possessed a similar powerful proliferative potential and increased in 1010- fold in cultures for 3 months, that is 103 times more then the amniotic MSCs. The cumulative population doubling (PD) of placenta-derived MSCs was significantly higher at all passages then PD of bone marrow derived MSCs. The decidua and chorionic tissue of the placenta are ideal MSCs sources for cell based therapy.
