Authors: Zhao Jiangyong , Liang Kun , Hao Yanan
Published: November 2021

The new curriculum reform defines the all-round development of students as the main goal of English teaching. This paper applied the theory of multiple intelligences to English teaching, and evaluated the effect of English teaching based on this theory. Firstly, a survey was conducted in the colleges of a Chinese province, the current state of college English teaching was analyzed, and the results revealed a few problems in college English teaching, such as the lack of diversity in teaching modes and effects, and the weak interest of students in English learning. Based on the survey results, the authors specified the flow of English teaching design and the evaluation system of teaching effect, drawing on the theory of multiple intelligences. Then, an empirical analysis was carried out to comparatively examine our evaluation method for English teaching effect. The results indicated that our method can practically and effectively enhance students’ interest and motivation for English learning, and improve the quality of English teaching. The research results provided a reference for the reform of college English teaching and the all-round development of students.

Published: November 2021

Arabic printed script segmentation and recognition techniques change from font to other i.e. each font has particular properties calligraphic and structural which differ with other. Majority of segmentation system suffer in word or sub word segmentation into characters because they consider one algorithm to segment all kind of Arabic printed font, style and size. The goal of this work is to prepare a system of word or sub word Optical Font Arabic Recognition (OFAR) for different font size and style of Arabic printed script, in order to integrate it in global Arabic Optical Character Recognition (AOCR) to choose preferred and good segmentation algorithm. APTI database was used to extract last ten pixels for each word or sub word to build new database of last 10 pixels for each word; OFAR is based upon this new database and our extraction approach called Pixels Continuity (PC) algorithm in different matrix direction and some histogram statistics to extract 20 features. Three KNN classifiers with K=5 and three different distances using Cityblock, Euclidean and Correlation based upon majority-vote are used to evaluate the system robustness. This classifier is compared in the first time with Back propagation Neural Network and Steerable Pyramid (SP) algorithm to re cognize three font families, then in the second time with Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to recognize font and size. The average recognition results obtained was 99.55% about font and size and 98.17% for font, size and style recognition.

A Província em festa : celebrações e poderes simbólicos na visita de sua Majestade Imperial à Parahyba do Norte – 1859
Authors: Oliveira Carla Mary S. , Cury Cláudia Engler
Published: November 2021

Uma marcante característica da biografia de D. Pedro II foi seu gosto pelas viagens, tanto dentro de seus domínios como também por terras estrangeiras. Quando viajava pelas províncias brasileiras, no entanto, produzia-se, quanto mais periféricas eram, uma situação de exceção para seus súditos. Essa suspensão da vida corriqueira – motivada pela visita imperial – dava ocasião a celebrações que enalteciam Sua Majestade e reforçavam, didaticamente, os lugares de poder e seu simbolismo nas relações sociais locais. Não foi diferente quando o imperador esteve na Parahyba do Norte, entre 24 e 30 de dezembro de 1859, vindo de dois meses partilhados entre a Bahia e Pernambuco e antes de voltar à Corte, passando por Alagoas, Sergipe e Espírito Santo. Pretendemos analisar as celebrações promovidas durante a visita de Pedro II e sua comitiva à Parahyba, tentando compreender os poderes simbólicos e as estratégias de reafirmação engendradas pela elite local frente à plebe miúda.

Este artigo analisa os “Faustos Reais’ ocorridos na Missão de São Borja em novembro de 1760 em comemoração à chegada ao trono de Carlos III da Espanha. Buscamos através deste episódio, contextualizando-o e avaliando-o em seus significados rituais e simbólicos, discutir as importantes reorientações experimentadas pelas comunidades das reduções jesuítico-guaranis na segunda metade do século XVIII. Nos importa particularmente avaliar de que forma os eventos festivos revelam as novas circunstâncias de poder e autoridade que se afirmam nestes pueblos de índios na conjuntura da crise instalada a partir do Tratado de Madrid (1750) e da Guerra Guaranítica (1753-1756).
Dinâmicas Culturais Etnogênicas em Performances Identitárias : a festa dos Chiquitano
Authors: Rocha Leandro Mendes , Capel Heloisa Selma Fernandes
Published: November 2021

Este artigo explora as composições culturais híbridas dos Chiquitano, povo indígena da região fronteiriça entre Brasil e Bolívia, consubstanciadas em uma festa etnogênica, a Festa de inauguração do Memorial Espírito Santo dos Chiquitano, na qual processos identitários contemporâneos são reconhecidos e agenciados. Para tanto, inspira-se nas concepções dinâmicas da cultura advindas dos estudos culturais e dos estudos da performance, compreendendo a festa como ato cênico privilegiado, em que tradições são reatualizadas e reconhecidas em um espaço tempo liminar e situacional, bases cognitivas de um saber que envolve corpos em movimento e ação no espaço intercultural. São intencionalidades fantasmáticas em jogo que envolvem o ato performático agenciador e o historiador cultural, pesquisador participante.

Mediterranean Diet, Lifestyle and Quality of Life in Sardinian Patients Affected with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Authors: Velluzzi Fernanda , Anedda Jasmine , Pisanu Silvia , Dell'Antonia Massimo , Deledda Andrea , Boi Alessandro , Ferreli Caterina , Atzori Laura
Published: November 2021

Background

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a strong negative impact on physical and psychological health. Obesity, especially visceral adiposity, but also smoking or unhealthy nutritional habits, have been reported to be significantly associated with hidradenitis suppurativa.

Design and methods

Case-control study in 35 patients of both sexes affected with hidradenitis suppurativa, and 35 healthy subjects matched for sex, age, and geographic origin (Sardinia, Italy).

Results

Several anthropometric measures (body mass index, waist circumference, body composition), lifestyle (Mediterranean diet adherence, and physical activity level), and the perceived physical and mental health status were evaluated in case and controls. Hidradenitis patients showed significantly higher values of body mass index, waist circumference, body composition, fat mass, and lower values of physical and mental health status compared to controls, while both groups showed a similar moderate physical activity level which can be assumed to counteract the negative effects of obesity or poor nutritional pattern in hidradenitis patients. However, none of the evaluated variables were correlated with the severity of the disease, assessed by means of the Hurley stage system or the Sartorius score. Instead, the Sartorius score showed a positive correlation with the duration of hidradenitis, mainly imputable to the diagnostic delay and the consequent long lasting inflammatory status.

Conclusions

Although nutritional factors and lifestyle can be important and modifiable factors in the hidradenitis suppurativa course, the detrimental effect of chronic inflammation and delayed management are clearly prevalent and heavily influence the disease burden.
Does goitre size and delayed surgical intervention adversely affect surgical outcome? A multi-centric experience on thyroidectomy
Authors: Veetil Pradeep Puthen , Panchangam Ramakanth Bhargav
Published: November 2021

Background:

Patients with Grade 2 goiters are followed up nonoperatively. Surgical anatomy is altered as nodules/goiter increases to Grade 3. The aim of the study was to analyze the results of thyroidectomy on Grade 2 versus Grade 3 goiter in terms of intra-operative surgical difficulty and surgical outcomes.

Materials and Methods:

Multi-centric cross-sectional analytical study. Retrospective analysis of the operative records of the patients undergoing transcervical total thyroidectomy (TT) from 2010 to 2019, satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Based on goiter size, patients were grouped as Group A and B. The important surgical landmarks and surgical outcomes were compared.

Results:

Of 2825 cases included, 1697 patients had Grade 2 and 1128 had Grade 3 goiter. In Group A, 1325 underwent TT and 372 underwent hermithyroidectomy (HT). In Group B, 965 had TT and 163 had HT. Group B patients were older and had a longer duration of goiter. In Group A, 3022 recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLN), 3022 external branches of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) and 6044 parathyroid positions, and in Group B, 2093 RLNs, 2093 EBSLNs, and 4186 parathyroid positions were analyzed. Group B had more incidences of “Type C” relationship between RLN and ligament of Berry. EBSLN was Type II in 62% of Group B and 25.5% of Group A. Tubercle of Zuckerkandl was Grade 2/3 in Group B. Group B had longer cervical incisions, more parathyroid auto-transplantation, increased flap edema, seroma, voice change, temporary RLN palsy and hypoparathyroidism.

Conclusion:

Early surgery at grade 2 before it progresses to grade 3 goiter appears to have better surgical outcome.

Нелинейность функций над конечными полями
Authors: Ryabov Vladimir Gennadievich
Published: November 2021

Нелинейность и аддитивная нелинейность функции определяются как расстояния Хэмминга до множества всех аффинных отображений и множества всех отображений, имеющих нетривиальные аддитивные трансляторы, соответственно. На основе выявленной связи параметров нелинейности с коэффициентами Фурье характеров функции найдены удобные формулы для вычисления нелинейности для практически значимых классов функций над произвольным конечным полем. В случае поля четной характеристики в терминах коэффициентов автокорреляции получены аналогичные результаты для аддитивной нелинейности. Полученные формулы позволили определить конкретные классы функций с максимально возможной и высокой нелинейностью и аддитивной нелинейностью.
О реализации некоторых систем элементарных конъюнкций в классе разделительных контактных схем
Authors: Krasulina Elena Gennad'evna
Published: November 2021

Показано, что система элементарных конъюнкций $\Omega_{n,2^k} = {K_0, . . . ,K_{2^{k} -1}}$, каждая из которых существенно зависит от $n$ переменных и соответствует некоторому кодовому слову линейного $(n, k)$-кода, может быть реализована разделительной контактной схемой со сложностью, не превосходящей $2^{k+1} + 4k(n - k) - 2$. Показано также, что если контактный $(1, 2^k)$-полюсник является разделительным и реализует систему элементарных конъюнкций $\Omega_{n,2^k}$, то число контактов в нем не меньше $2^{k+1} - 2$.
Многомерные последовательности Кронекера с малым числом длин промежутков
Authors: Weiss Christian
Published: November 2021

В последнее время обобщения классической теоремы о трех промежутках на многомерный случай привлекают много внимания. В частности, были получены верхние оценки для числа минимальных расстояний до ближайшего соседа в евклидовой и максимальной метриках. Было доказано, что в общем многомерном случае максимальное возможное число различных длин промежутков достигается для любой субэкспоненциальной последовательности. Здесь получено «зеркальное» утверждение для размерностей $d \in \{ 2, 3 \}$: построены последовательности Кронекера с удивительно малым числом различных расстояний до ближайшего соседа для бесконечно многих значений $N \in \mathbb{N}$ их длин. Доказательства основаны на свойствах цепных дробей.

Authors: Reshmin Sergey Alexandrovich
Published: November 2021

Рассматривается плоская задача об управляемом вращении колеса с невесомой шиной. Колесо расположено на неподвижном основании и снабжено амортизатором, ограничивающим вертикальные колебания. Горизонтальные перемещения оси вращения колеса ради простоты не допускаются. Требуется максимизировать среднюю силу тяги на достаточно длительном интервале времени при помощи подаваемого на ось вращения ограниченного управляющего момента. Составлена нелинейная математическая модель системы. При этом шина моделируется твердым полым невесомым цилиндром, соединенным с колесным диском многочисленными невесомыми пружинами, которые находятся в преднатяженном состоянии. Выведены уравнения движения с использованием условия квазистатики. Проанализирована динамика процесса, и произведен анализ максимальной силы тяги.
Реализация гомеоморфизмов поверхностей алгебраически конечного порядка диффеоморфизмами Морса-Смейла с ориентируемым гетероклиническим пересечением
Authors: Grines Vyacheslav Zigmuntovich , Morozov Andrei Igorevich , Pochinka Olga Vital'evna
Published: November 2021

Согласно классификации Тeрстона множество гомотопических классов гомеоморфизмов замкнутых ориентируемых поверхностей отрицательной кривизны разбивается на четыре непересекающихся подмножества $T_1$, $T_2$, $T_3$, $T_4$. Гомотопический класс из каждого подмножества характеризуется существованием в нем гомеоморфизма (канонической формы Тeрстона), имеющего в точности один из следующих типов соответственно: периодический гомеоморфизм, приводимый непериодический гомеоморфизм алгебраически конечного порядка, приводимый гомеоморфизм, не являющийся гомеоморфизмом алгебраически конечного порядка, псевдоаносовский гомеоморфизм. Канонические формы Тeрстона не являются структурно устойчивыми диффеоморфизмами. Поэтому естественно возникает задача построения простейших (в определенном смысле) структурно устойчивых диффеоморфизмов в каждом гомотопическом классе. А.Н. Безденежных и В.З. Гринес построили градиентно-подобный диффеоморфизм в каждом гомотопическом классе из $T_1$. А.Ю. Жиров и Р.В. Плыкин анонсировали метод построения структурно устойчивого диффеоморфизма в каждом гомотопическом классе из $T_4$. Неблуждающее множество этого диффеоморфизма состоит из конечного числа источниковых орбит и единственного одномерного аттрактора. В настоящей работе описано построение структурно устойчивого диффеоморфизма в каждом гомотопическом классе из $T_2$. Построенный представитель является диффеоморфизмом Морса-Смейла с ориентируемым гетероклиническим пересечением.

Ifá Guiding Principles in Pre-Marital Counselling Towards a Happy Family
Authors: Gabriel Akinola Segun
Published: November 2021

The high rate of divorce among both young and older couples is on an increase with several unhappy families living in frustration and uncertainty. This is tied to their unpreparedness before going into marriage and their incompatibility as destiny may not permit the union of both couples in the first place. Though, physical or psychological counselling are important these have not proved effective enough to solve marital problems. The spiritual dimension of views, the unseen, as a way of guidance before going into marriage has becomes imperative in solving marital situations that have atrophied the family settings and the society at large. It is on this basis, that the essence of Ifa divination in enquiring into the fate of a couple coming together as one in holy matrimony cannot be undervalued. In other words, it is a structural foundation towards building a happy marriage. The Christian Orthodox worldview on counselling is also touched upon as a means of comparison with the oldest Christian denomination. The spiritual compatibility of the couple is important, and far more than the
physical understanding of blood group genotype, temperament, sexual compatibility, communication skill etc. This paper, therefore, aims at establishing the place of Ifa divination in a couple’s pre-marital counselling, as an important requirement before going into marriage. Twenty (20) Ifa priests were interviewed across southwestern Nigeria. Collections of information were content analysed, resulting in a recommendation for spiritual enquiries into the compatibility of couples before going into marriage

A discussão da biodiversidade é um assunto bastante importante para ser debatido. Uma alternativa para essas discussões são os espaços escolares e a utilização de aulas práticas, para contextualização dos conteúdos trabalhados em sala de aula. Os zoológicos são ambientes com grande potencial para serem utilizados com esse fim, pois nesse ambiente podemos encontrar espécies raras ou ameaçadas, promovendo assim o desenvolvimento do pensamento ecológico. Com isso, este trabalho busca desenvolver a importância da biodiversidade amazônica com a utilização de uma sequência didática a partir de uma visita de campo no Zoológico CIGS. Nesta atividade participaram 159 alunos do 7 ano do Ensino Fundamental - Anos finais. Os alunos utilizaram uma ficha de coleta desenvolvida para a atividade, e  após a coleta de dados, foram analisados pelos alunos em sala de aula, compartilhando com os grupos e contextualização com a mediação da professora e por fim os alunos concluíram com a importância de preservar a biodiversidade amazônica.

Published: November 2021

Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML) is a clonal hematopoietic disorder that usually occurs in early childhood, characterized by hyperactivation of the RAS signaling pathway. About 90% of patients have mutations in 1 of 5 genes (PTPN11, NRAS, KRAS, NF1, CBL) that define genetically and clinically distinct subtypes of the disease, with a highly variable clinical course. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the therapy of choice for most patients with JMML, although children with CBL mutations and few of those with N-RAS mutations may have spontaneous resolution of hematologic abnormalities. The results of HSCT in patients with JMML have progressively improved over time, but relapse is still an important cause of treatment failure.

PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF RELAPSE OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA AND MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME AFTER ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC CELL TRANSPLANTATION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS
Authors: Tavares Rita de Cassia Barbosa , PELEGRINA POLLIANY ROBERTA DORINI
Published: November 2021

The best way to manage acute leukemia relapse after HCT is to prevent it, buying time for GVL with immunomodulation and, if no GVHD between days +60 and + 90, prophylactic DLI can be indicate for very high or high risk patients. Short-term low dose of cyclosporine or methotrexate can add safety to pro-DLI, particularly after mismatched or unrelated transplantation. Maintenance with imatinib or dastinib, recommended for Ph-positive ALL, with sorafenib, for FLT3-ITD AML, or azacitidine, for myelodysplastic syndrome patients, can be effective in reducing relapse rates. However, target agent maintenance can add toxicity, depends on patient adherence and demands physician experience to know when is safe to start, how adjust the dose according individual tolerance after transplant and to detect undesirable drug interactions. The second step to avoid hematological relapse is preemptive approach guided by measurable residual disease or mixed chimerism. In patients off immunosuppression, chemotherapy followed by DLI is a useful strategy, and if no response, interferon alpha can be associated to enhance GVL. Target-specific agents can be start at this point either. After relapse, antigen-directed therapy with blinatumumab for CD19 ALL, inotuzumab for CD22 ALL are excellent options to induce MRD negativity and facilitate HCT. Disadvantages of new immunotherapies are: high incidence of VOD with inotuzumab and gemtuzumab; lower response in patients with high leukemia burden or concurrent extramedullary relapse; necessity of consolidation with HCT after a bridging therapy with BiTE and probably with CAR-T cell therapy also. It is important to realize that if remission after chemotherapy is associated with the development of GVHD, then there may be limited benefit (and possibly harm) in consolidating with any kind of cellular therapy. However, for patients who achieved remission without GVHD, either DLI or second transplant can be recommend. Further studies are necessary to determine at which point each strategy might yield the best results.

Son numerosos los estudios críticos que señalan el cambio radical que experimenta Helena en el transcurso de la obra. Quienes opinan que constituye una incoherencia inaceptable el contraste entre una Helena doliente y pasiva en la primera mitad de la obra y una Helena activa y urdidora de un plan de huida en la segunda, orientan su estudio de la caracterización a determinar el tipo de persona encarnado por Helena, es decir, en el tipo de persona que ella es, y de ahí que señalen negativamente esa discordancia en su caracterización. Sin embargo, este cambio en el personaje principal no es el foco de todos los problemas de interpretación de esta tragedia euripídea: la crítica moderna ha etiquetado de modo diverso, en primer lugar, la inclusión de elementos cómicos dentro de una pieza dramática. En segundo lugar, la conexión o no de la pieza con el clima político y militar de la época y, como consecuencia, su consideración de tragedia pacifista. En tercer lugar el papel esencial del elemento divino en una tragedia que aparenta la crisis o ruptura con él. Por último, la valoración del sustrato filosófico sobre el que Eurípides ha construido la obra. En este trabajo intentaremos arrojar cierta luz sobre estas cuatro cuestiones, sin perder de vista la relación de género establecida por la heroína y por un personaje central a la par que complejo dentro de esta tragedia: el coro. De gran repercusión es la crítica vertida hacia la lírica de este grupo de mujeres griegas cautivas en una tierra extranjera y queremos con nuestro trabajo destacar la centralidad del coro como personaje en la acción dramática, que, junto con Helena, sufre un progresivo desarrollo en su identidad y hace de esta obra una obra maestra del autor.

Introduction: Inappropriate attendances (IAs) to emergency departments (ED) create an unnecessary
strain on healthcare systems. With decreased ED attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study
postulates that there are less IAs compared to before the pandemic and identifies factors associated
with IAs.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 29,267 patient presentations to a healthcare cluster
in Singapore from 7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020, and 36,370 patients within a corresponding period
in 2019. This time frame coincided with local COVID-19 lockdown measures. IAs were defined as
patient presentations with no investigations required, with patients eventually discharged from the ED.
IAs in the 2020 period during the pandemic were compared with 2019. Multivariable logistic regression
was performed to identify factors associated with IAs.
Results: There was a decrease in daily IAs in 2020 compared to 2019 (9.91±3.06 versus 24.96±5.92,
P<0.001). IAs were more likely with self-referrals (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.58, 95% confidence
interval [CI] 1.50–1.66) and walk-ins (aOR 4.96, 95% CI 4.59–5.36), and those diagnosed with
non-specific headache (aOR 2.08, 95% CI 1.85–2.34), or non-specific low back pain (aOR 1.28, 95%
CI 1.15–1.42). IAs were less likely in 2020 compared to 2019 (aOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.65–0.71) and older
patients (aOR 0.79 each 10 years, 95% CI 0.78–0.80).
Conclusion: ED IAs decreased during COVID-19. The pandemic has provided a unique opportunity
to examine factors associated with IAs.

This research was conducted with the aim of: (1) to determine whether firm characteristics and corporate governance affect tax avoidance in mining companies in Indonesia, and (2) to determine whether corporate governance moderates the relationship between firm characteristics and tax avoidance. The research sample is all mining companieslisted on the IDX forthe period 2015 to 2018, totally 156 observations. From 156 observations, 84 observations can be analyzed. This research data is secondary data in the form of mining company Annual Reports obtained from the official website of the IDX, namely www.idx.co.id and the official websites of the respective companies. Data analysis to test data normality used the Kolmogorov Smirnov test. Hypothesis testing uses moderated regression analysis (MRA) with SPSS. The result of the analysis shows that firm characteristics consisting of leverage and ROE have an effect on tax avoidance, while company size has no effect on tax avoidance. Another result is that CG as measured by the proportion of independent commissioners does not moderate the relationship between firm characteristics and tax avoidance.

Win At Any Cost: Examining Personality Correlates of Achievement in Adolescent Athletes
Authors: Park Winston , Herman Matthew
Published: November 2021

Achievement in sports is often attributed to being highly competitive or doing “whatever it takes” to win as opposed to being agreeable. The current consensus is that these traits, manifested as hypercompetitiveness, Machiavellianism, and agreeableness, tend to be highly related within adult populations and athletes. Machiavellianism, the “whatever it takes' ' attribute and hypercompetitiveness have been found to be positively correlated with one another while both are negatively correlated with agreeableness. Previous studies have failed to examine the same phenomenon in individual-sport adolescent athlete populations, in addition to how these trends may influence athletic achievement. In this study, a random sampling of an adolescent athlete population was given a battery of personality scales: The Hypercompetitive Attitude Scale, the MACH-IV, and an IPIP Agreeableness Measure. The participants’ highest national rankings in their sport were also examined. Previous findings in adult populations were replicated in this study, as Machiavellianism and hypercompetitiveness were found to have a strong negative correlation with agreeableness(r= -0.678, p= 0.000039, and r= -0.690, p= 0.000025, respectively). Machiavellianism displayed a moderate, positive correlation with hypercompetitiveness(r= 0.496, p= 0.005312). However, the differences in Machiavellianism and hypercompetitiveness between those who had achieved a rank of at least top 15 in the country and other participants were not found to be statistically significant. These results show that athletic achievement in adolescents was not significantly affected by the personality traits of Machiavellianism and hypercompetitiveness. Additional research is needed to discover what personality traits constitute a champion.
Trends in Clinical Trial Registration in Dentistry: An Analysis of Registered Clinical Trials in the Clinical Research Information Service from 2013 to 2021 in South Korea
Authors: Lee Hye In , Yoon Young-Ran
Published: November 2021

The Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS) in South Korea provides a clinical trial registry platform in which all clinical trials should be mandatorily and prospectively registered. However, to date, the registration status of clinical trials in the field of dentistry has not been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to provide an overview of the methodological design and trends of the registered clinical trials over a period of nine years. Information about registered clinical trials in the field of dentistry from the CRIS was comprehensively collected from 2013 to 2021. The details assessed from the collected trials include: type of sponsors, recruitment status, study design, randomization, allocation concealment, single or multi-centric, retrospective or prospective registration, and publication status. A total of 65 registered clinical trials were identified. The number of clinical trials in dentistry in South Korea was found to be less; however, an increasing trend was observed in the recent three years. A majority of the trials were interventional (81.5%), single-centered (86.2%), and conducted on patients (81.5%) and in private hospitals (55.4%). A considerable number of trials had an unclear phase, were retrospectively registered, and rarely published. Regarding the quality, most trials have inadequately reported the method of randomization and allocation concealment. The number of clinical trials in dentistry is still low in South Korea, and most of them were registered retrospectively. A poor-quality reporting of methods at several specific areas was observed. It is necessary for dental investigators to raise awareness of the need to register clinical trials.

This essay examines the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the United States and recommends new and improved strategies for future pandemics accordingly. The purpose of this project is to explore pandemic measures taken by the United States administration and to analyze the efficacy of each. However, in order to better understand the nature of the virus, the essay also explores possible origins of the virus, its structure, and how it is transmitted. Statistics regarding the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e. the number of total deaths and infections) were then collected from various sources which include the CDC, NIH, and the WHO. After this data was analyzed, it was apparent that the exponential growth of new cases and deaths each day during the beginning of the pandemic could have been prevented by stricter protocols. In the event of a similar pandemic in the future, the recommended protocols in this essay are potential strategies to avoid another pandemic as deadly as the current COVID-19 pandemic.
RESULTS OF MONITORING OF KALANOID COPEPODS EURYTEMORA LACUSTRIS (РОРРЕ, 1887) POPULATION STATE IN LAKE VECHELIE
Authors: Litvinova A. G. , Vezhnavets V. V.
Published: November 2021

Тhe spatial distribution of E. lacustris in the lake depends on the temperature and concentration of dissolved oxygen. Most of the individuals inhabit water layers 12–19 meters – the zone below thermocline. The water tempera-ture in these horizons remains constantly low (4,5–6,7 °С). Average content of dissolved oxygen in hypolimnion varies with 3,0–7,1 mg/l. When the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the hypolimnion layers increases, crustacean popula-tion concentrates more deeply.

The population density of E. lacustris in lake Vechelye in different years of research consisted 584–2877 indi-viduals per m3. Although the temperature, transparency and concentration of oxygen in the water of lake Vechelye stay favorable for the species and characteristic of mesotrophic lakes, E. lacustris tends to reduce the number of its popula-tion.
