Background:

Traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is a debilitating neurological condition often associated with lifelong disability. Despite this, there are limited data on pediatric tSCI epidemiology in the United States.

Objectives:

Our primary objective was to estimate tSCI hospitalization rates among children, including by age, sex, and race. Secondary objectives were to characterize tSCI hospitalizations and examine associations between sociodemographic characteristics and tSCI etiology.

Methods:

We used the 2016 Kids’ Inpatient Database to examine tSCI hospitalizations among children (<21 years). Descriptive statistics were used to report individual and care setting characteristics for initial tSCI hospitalizations. We used Census Bureau data to estimate tSCI hospitalization rates (number of pediatric tSCI hospitalizations / number of US children) and logistic regression modeling to assess associations between documented sociodemographic characteristics and injury etiology.

Results:

There were 1.48 tSCI admissions per 100,000 children; highest rates of hospitalization involved older (15–20 years), male, and Black children. Hospitalization involving male (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.43; 95% CI, 0.33–0.58) or Black (AOR 0.37; 95% CI, 0.25–0.55) children were less likely to involve a motor traffic accident. Hospitalizations of Black children were significantly more likely to have a diagnosis of tSCI resulting from a firearm incident (AOR 18.97; 95% CI, 11.50–31.28) or assault (AOR 11.76; 95% CI, 6.75–20.50) compared with hospitalizations of White children.

Conclusion:

Older, male, and Black children are disproportionately burdened by tSCI. Implementation of broad health policies over time may be most effective in reducing pediatric tSCI hospitalizations and preventable injuries.

Authors: Zebracki Kathy , Hwang Miriam , Vogel Lawrence C. , Mulcahey MJ , Varni James W.
Published: January 2022

Objectives:

The objective was to report on the initial measurement properties of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ (PedsQL™) Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Module in youth with SCI from the youth and parent perspectives.

Methods:

PedsQL™ SCI Module and PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales SF15 were completed in a multisite national study by 166 youth ages 8 to 25 years and 128 parents of youth ages 5 to 23 years. Data from the PedsQL™ Generic Core Scales were compared with an age- and sex-matched healthy control sample. Factor analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure of the items.

Results:

In addition to a Total Scale Score, nine unidimensional scales were derived measuring daily activities, mobility, bladder function, bowel function, pressure injury, pain interference, social participation, worry bladder bowel, and worry social. The PedsQL™ SCI Module evidenced excellent reliability for Total Scale Scores (youth self-report, α = 0.93; parent proxy-report, α = 0.93) and acceptable reliability for the nine individual scales (youth self-report, α = 0.71–0.83; parent proxy-report, α = 0.67–0.87). Intercorrelations with the Generic Core Scales supported construct validity with medium to large effect sizes (most ps < .001). Factor analysis supported the unidimensionality of the nine individual scales. PedsQL™ Generic Core Scales comparisons to healthy controls demonstrated significantly impaired generic health-related quality of life in youth with SCI with large effect sizes.

Conclusion:

The PedsQL™ SCI Module Scales demonstrated acceptable measurement properties and may be utilized as standardized scales to assess SCI-specific concerns and problems in clinical research and practice in youth with SCI.
Application of numerical modelling method for determination of underground mining’s impact on constructions in G9 coal storage at Mong Duong coal mine by using program UDEC2D
Authors: Pham Hung Duc , Mac Dung Tien Van ,   Faculty of Mining, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Vietnam  Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited, Vietnam
Published: January 2022

The coal extraction in longwall creates voids that destroy the natural stress balance in underground. This causes deformation and failure of rock and consequently damage of surface construction and environment. In Vietnam, surface construction damage caused by underground mining is quite common such as fan station at level +142 m Mao Khe coal mine, water burst at roadway level -60 m Thong Nhat coal mine, road crack near Yen Tu pagoda, or surface subsidence at Khe Cham coal preparator. Due to the displacement magnitude and nature of damaged constructions such as private house, industrial building or railway, a coal mine may need to stop production and suffers great economic loss. The East wing of L7 coal seam is medium in thickness and gentle-inclined in dip angle. It completely underlays the G9 storage at Mong Duong coal mine. According to the mining schedule, this seam is planned to be extracted by drilling-and-blasting method and be supported by self-moving hydraulic frame GK. This poses a safety risk to equipment operating in the storage. It is extremely necessary to find a reasonable mining solution to ensure the safety of G9 coal storage constructions and minimize the loss of resources for this L7 coal seam. In this paper, the author uses numerical modelling method to determine the impact of underground mining on surface constructions in G9 coal storage at Mong Duong coal mine.
Application of seismic attribute analysis in Lower Miocene reservoir characterization, northeast Bach Ho field, Vietnam

Published: January 2022

The Cuu Long basin is an Early Tertiary rift basin of southern Vietnam, and the most potential basin in the country with high productive for oil and gas. Special interest in the Lower Miocene reservoir in the Cuu Long basin is caused by the gradual depletion of unique oil-bearing in the fractured basement and the possibility of transferring production wells to overlying deposits in the terrigenous rocks of the sedimentary cover and entering new deposits into development. In recent years, seismic attributes analysis has emerged as an effective tool to predict ancient riverbeds where sand bodies may exist in nonstructural traps. Understanding the distribution of these sand bodies will be of great significance in the orientation of oil and gas exploration activities. The paper applied seismic attribute analysis method combined with artificial neural network (ANN) and well data to predict the distribution of sandstones reservoirs of Lower Miocene sediments in the Northeastern Bach Ho oil field. Seismic attributes selected as input for ANN training including Relative Acoustic Impedance, Root Mean Square, Sweetness. The attributes provide the most obvious opportunity to display geological features with varying seismic amplitude characteristics as well as predict lithofacies, petrology and the distribution of sand bodies. The research results have identified the potential reservoirs in the Northeastern area of Bach Ho field, which are deposited in the fluvial, marginal lacustrine and deltaic environments.
Using HLM to Determine a STEM Programs Impact on Middle School Academic Achievement
Authors: Chine Danielle R. , Larwin Karen H.
Published: January 2022

Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has become an increasingly popular multilevel method of analyzing data among nested datasets, in particular, the effect of specialized academic programming within schools. The purpose of this methodological study is to demonstrate the use of HLM to determine the effectiveness of STEM programming in an Ohio middle school. This longitudinal study analyzes potential moderators of gender, socioeconomic status, student race, and attendance rate along with state test scores to quantify achievement. HLM determined integrated STEM education had a significant, positive effect on achievement in math and science combined (students scoring 31.8 points higher on average) and science achievement (students scoring 38.2 points higher on average) compared to traditional education students, respectively. There were little to no interaction effects determined between STEM participation and student factors. This demonstrates HLM as a powerful statistical tool for quantifying the impact of academic programming on student achievement.
Narratives on the Beginning of the 1875-1878 Uprising in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the British Public Discourse
Authors: Radušić Edin
Published: January 2022

: In his noteworthy book Against Massacre, Humanitarian Interventions in the

Ottoman Empire 1815-1914 (2012), Davide Rodogno states that even prior to the Eastern

Crisis (1875-1878), the Ottoman Empire and Turks had been excluded from civilised

states and nations for several reasons (despotism, Islam, polygamy, slavery, impossibility

of reformation). Thereby, the Europeans have secured the position of being the only

ones determining the standards of civilisation: they decide how, where and when a nonEuropean country will access the family of civilised people. As a supplementary part of

orientalism, balkanism and ottomanism, as well as a justification to the implementation of

the “western” double standard, it was stereotypical to construct a negative image of Turks

that also included Muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the period of crisis, such was

the 1875-1878 Eastern Crisis, the British and other European public and political elite,

including Russia, had developed considerable anti-Turkish sentiments. In this paper, I

analysed and synthesised discourses about Bosnia and Herzegovina in the British public

space, from the beginning of the uprising in 1875, to the anti-Turkish campaign following

the Turkish crimes in Bulgaria in May 1876. The discourse on the uprising of the British

Consulate in Bosnia and the anti-Ottoman discourse of the British press in relation to

the uprising in Bosnia and Herzegovina appeared as especially important. The last one

appeared through several narratives: oppression as a way of rule, oppression as the cause

of the uprising, oppression and the Turkish crimes over Christians as an argument for a

humanitarian intervention and western (Austrian) occupational right.

Jezička anketa Zemaljskog muzeja u Sarajevu iz 1897. godine / The 1897 Linguistic Survey by the National Museum in Sarajevo
Authors: Halilović Senahid
Published: January 2022

The present paper analyses the first linguo-geographical research endeavour in Bosnia and Herzegovina which was conducted during the period when the first linguistic atlases in Europe were being compiled. The research was based on the survey conducted in 1897 by the National Museum in Sarajevo that collected data about Bosnian-Herzegovinian dialects by means of Rešetar’s Questions about the spoken language of the common people, the first dialect research-oriented questionnaire in the South Slavic region. The collected corpus on dialects was not accessible to researchers until the end of the 19th century. After this period, it was forgotten and, therefore, did not have a major impact on the development of Bosnian-Herzegovinian dialectology. It was only at the beginning of the 21st century that researchers started publishing books and research papers in which the material from individual questionnaires was used although the analysis of the whole collection as such remains incomplete until present-day. Nevertheless, data from 226 questionnaires allow for a reconstruction of the dialect map in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the end of the 19th century and a possibility to reconstruct the presence of certain linguistic phenomena. Notes of the researchers containing various pieces of information about the features of the spoken language examined and various observations on their variations carry a fundamental importance for the historical dialectology and language history. Due to unfavourable political circumstances, the survey of the National Museum did not result in an atlas of dialects and, therefore, was not a turning point from which Bosnian-Herzegovinian or Slavic linguistic geography studies would emerge. Still, it has preserved its value for the cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the first organised endeavour into researching spoken language of the common people in the Slavic South.
Uncovering Ideology in Inaugural Speeches of Trump and Biden / Inauguralni govori Trumpa i Bidena
Authors: Đelilbašić Mustafa
Published: January 2022

In this paper we will analyse the inaugural speeches of the two latest presidents of the United States of America, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The analysis will be based upon the Critical Discourse Analysis model of Norman Fairclough, whereas the methodology used to conduct the research will be based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. We will focus on the material processes because it is through them that concrete action is expressed. This is particularly relevant in inaugural speeches as newly-elected presidents see them as a perfect podium to present what they and their administration plan to do over the course of a four-year mandate. For the sake of the research, we formulated one research question and two hypotheses in order to highlight the ideological differences between the two presidents. In the paper we have answered the research question by establishing that we is the most common Actor of material processes. Also, we have proven the two hypotheses proposed. Namely, the difference in policy and ideology of Trump and Biden has been confirmed by an analysis of Goal in material processes, while the us vs. them dichotomy in Trump’s speech has also been proven. We have concluded that these linguistic differences of the two speeches point to a stark difference in ideology of Trump and Biden.

INTERCASTE MARRIAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF TORAJA: Towards Contextual Theology Of Intercaste Marriage In Toraja
Authors: Taruk Elim Wilsen
Published: January 2022

Intercaste marriage has been a perpetual problem faced by many, especially those who are coming from the hindus areas like India, where caste system has been part of the society. Hence, the term caste used here may not be familiar for the Toraja people, as in Toraja it is known as Tana’, a term that literally means stick or peg, actually used to mark a boundary in the rice field or of a land. However, it is also used metaphorically, that is to divide layers in society according to the appropriate level.[1] According to the Encyclopedia of Anthropology, the term caste comes from the Portugese casta (bread, lineage), and was coined by Portugese travellers to India in reference to the social, economic and religious systems they witnessed.[2] Meanwhile, according to Oxford Dictionary, the term refers to any of the Hindu social classes, a social system based on differences in family origin, rank, wealth, etc., Therefore, I insist to use it here for its parity when used in Toraja context (with its differences in society).
Estimation of Digestibility from In Vitro Rumen Fermentation Data in Some Forages of Puerto Rico
Authors: Arroyo-Aguilú José A.
Published: January 2022

Forty-two samples (seven from each grass) and six composite samples of Merker grass (Pennisetum purpureum), Guinea grass hybrid (Panicum maximum), and Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) were used in this study to evaluate the artificial rumen, or in vitro cellulose digestion, technique (1). These forage samples of known nutritive value (4), as determined in conventional digestion trials with cattle (3), were harvested at 49 to 55 and at 63 to 69 days of age at the Gurabo Substation farm. No relationship was found between ad libitum intake (R.I. or V.I.) and 12- and 24-hour I.V.C.D. Within-trial variability due to lag-time differences could probably account for this.  I.V.C.D. at 36 hours may be used as the best estimate of forage digestibility in terms of D.D.M. (r = 0.95), D.E. (r = 0.94), and T.D.N, (r = 0.94). Forty-eight-hour I.V.C.D. values could also be used as a predictor of forage digestibility in terms of D.D.M. (r = 0.87) and N.V.I, (r = 0.85). Nevertheless, the highest correlations were obtained with in vitro values at 36 hours. There was a tendency for correlation coefficients to increase up to 36-hour digestion periods with increasing fermentation rates. From the data in the present study, the regression equations to predict in vitro D.D.M. (Y), in vitro D.E. (Y), and in vitro T.D.N. (Y) from 36-hour I.V.C.D. (X) were Y = 12.84 + 1.23 X, Y = 1.801 X - 11.76, and Y = 17.79 + 0.906 X, respectively. Maximum cellulose digestion was apparently obtained at 60 hours for four of the six forages studied. When two inoculum donor animals were fed the same forage, no marked differences in 60- and 72-hour I.V.C.D. values were observed.
The Action Pattern of Sugarcane-Leaf Amylase
Authors: Alexander Alex G.
Published: January 2022

The action pattern of sugarcane leaf amylase was investigated by paper chromatographic techniques. The enzyme was extracted with water from lyophilized leaf tissues, and precipitated by ammonium sulfate between 48- and 60-percent saturation. Aliquots were removed from enzyme-starch digests and inactivated in boiling water at intervals ranging from 5 minutes to 72 hours. Samples were spotted on Whatman No. 1 filter paper, irrigated with butanol-pyridine-water (6:4:3, v/v), and products identified by the silver nitrate technique. The initial and only major product was glucose. No maltose was detected, and oligosaccharides appeared only under conditions of excessively high enzyme concentration or prolonged reaction period. Preparations which appeared to contain distinct amylases on the basis of solubility and pH optima produced only glucose. Substrates hydrolyzed included soluble potato starch, cornstarch, amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen. Glucose was the lone product in each instance. Inulin was not attacked. Maltose was not affected by the enzyme preparation. Glucose produced by enzyme action on starch remained stable. A secondary sugar was formed after invertase preparation was introduced into the digest. This possibly represents an epimerase action upon the newly liberated glucose, but evidence also supports maltose and possibly oligosaccharide synthesis from the glucose product. It was concluded that cane amylase is a glucosidase with very general substrate specificity. The action pattern is explained by random encounter of enzyme with substrate, specificity of action at polymer termini, and a nonspecific internal action dependant upon enzyme concentration and time.

Authors:   Samara State University of Economics, Vakhrameev Roman A.
Published: January 2022

Digital technologies today are already an objective reality, engrained into all spheres of life. This article raises the problem of analyzing the risks of digital transformation of the statistical database of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation due to the lack of reliable and objective information. The research is aimed at identifying risks, analyzing them, as well as giving recommendations for improving the safety of forming a statistical database of the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation in a new digital format. As a result of the research, through the use of general scientific and private methods of cognition, a system of risks, which the process of digital transformation of the statistical database of the agroindustrial complex of the Russian Federation is exposed, was formed and assessed. A list of recommendations was proposed for improving the safety of forming this kind of database. The advantage of the constructed system of risks is the identification of general and specific risks that are distinctive for supplying sphere, the sphere of agriculture and the sphere of processing agricultural products and its implementation of the agro-industrial complex in separately. The author concludes that it is necessary to strengthen actions to prevent negative consequences inherent for all spheres of the agro-industrial complex as a whole and for the supporting sphere especially.

Efficacy of using of the apparatus «Exobot» on the gait of a child with cerebral palsy
Authors: Tabe Evgeniya E. , Sharkov Sergei M.
Published: January 2022

Cerebral palsy is characterized by non-progressive brain damage but a progressive cascade of secondary diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The characteristic changes in the infantile cerebral palsy lead to dysfunction of the ankle, knee and hip joints, which affects the biomechanics of walking and leads to the pathological transformation. Purpose: to determine the effect of the Exobot simulator on the walking biomechanics of children with cerebral palsy. The review compares the normal and pathological biomechanics of walking in children with cerebral palsy, starting from the Amsterdam classification of pathological gait, which includes five types depending on the position of the knee joint and foot concerning the horizontal surface mid-support phase. Despite the child’s level with cerebral palsy according to the classification of global motor functions and the type of gait according to the Amsterdam classification, all children in the contact phase begin contact not from the heel but the forefoot. This entails a deterioration in the control of the trunk balance and an increase in the energy consumption for verticalization. The gait of a child with cerebral palsy in the Exobot simulator, due to the fixation of the foot, ankle joint and the system of carabiners and elastic rods, always begins from the heel. Thus, the correct step pattern and muscle memory are formed in a child with cerebral palsy. There is an improvement in the control over the balance on the part of the child, his motivation for motor development increases.

Program-target project as the most important aspect of public administration
Authors: Polishchuk Oksana
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of developing targeted programs and projects. The interrelation of the program-target management method with other management methods and its implementation at the regional level has been analyzed. When preparing targeted programs and projects, methodological errors are often made. In particular, the goal of solving the problem and the requirements for achieving it are not specifically formulated. This significantly complicates the assessment of the compliance of existing projects and program objectives, and also interferes with an objective perception of the current state of the solution to the problem. It is for this purpose that recommendations for further research have been provided.
BIOGRAFIJA I ŽIVOTNA PRIČA
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Vladušić Slobodan V.
Published: January 2022

In the first part of the text, we analyze the genre of biography. Our criticism of biography branches out into two directions: first, we argue that biography no longer reflects the connec- tion between the author’s biographical data and his/her work, which impacts the gradual sep- aration of biographical research from hermeneutics. As a result, this opens the possibility that in the future, a literary text can be neglected as the object of research. Biographical research could then shift its focus from the figure of an aesthetically relevant author to the figure of the author as a representative of a specific group. The second direction of our criticism deals with the fact that the biography genre deems all biographical data equally valuable. In order to solve both of the above-listed problems of writing biographies, we offer the genre of a life story in the text as a supplement to the genre of biography. A life story establishes a hierarchy of life experiences in order to determine which of these experiences have the status of meta-experi- ences which, further on, impact the author’s entire life, as well as his/her poetics. The second part of the text exemplifies the difference between biography and life story in Crnjanski, by relating the poetics of his poetry collection Lirika Itake [Lyrics of Ithaca] to his life story and the meta-experience of his father’s death.
OD KAMENA NIKOM NI KAMENA
Authors: Delić Lidija D.
Published: January 2022

As the basis of traditional architecture and geological composition of a large part of the Balkans, stone inevitably marked an epic picture of the world. In epics, stone is also a part of the burial rites, as a means of magical cursing and as an element of common practice (wearing a stone around the neck). However, its symbolic dimensions are much more involved. Due to a number of features suitable for metaphorical transfer – immobile, heavy, solid, cold, barren, inanimate, matter foreign to the human constitution – stone played an extremely important role in the conceptual framework of folklore. Practically every one of the above mentioned aspects has become a generator of oral formulas and idiomatics more widely. In religious nar- ratives motifs of miracles were connected to stone (water flowing from the stone), while in epics, cores of an ethnocultural model were accentuated by the motif of stone, such as the firmness of a given word or faith.

A method to linearize partial differential equations (PDEs) of heat diffusion and its initial with boundary conditions in a wide interval of temperature is presented. Thus, an analytical solution of the heat conduction problem was achieved in a virtual experiment performed in a lead wall with an ideally established configuration. For other arrangements where an analytical solution is not possible, simple standard programs can be used as an alternative to solve the linearized partial differential equations obtained with the proposed method. A sophisticated computer program as the standard gold method of COMSOL Multiphysics® was used for the evaluation of error of procedure. It was validated that the relative error of the analytical solution, in comparison to the digital simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics, can be found without the need to own and use the COMSOL Multiphysics program. For our configuration, the error is 1.16 % and focuses on the initial part of the process.
