Corrosion Protection of Epoxy-Coated Stainless Steel by Organic-Coating and Filler Materials
Authors: Kumar Singh Rajesh , Latiff Sabana , Kumar Thakur Manjay
Published: June 2022

Epoxy coating uses for the corrosion protection of stainless steel. Epoxy-coated stainless steel surface has possessed lots of porosities so pollutants and particulates materials are entered inside by osmosis and diffusion process. Pollutants like oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen, and oxides of sulphur form acids and they make hostile environment for base metal and epoxy polymer. These acids develop chemical reaction with epoxy-coated stainless steel. They develop corrosion cell with metal and start corrosion reaction. They can produce several forms corrosion like galvanic, pitting, stress, crevice, blistering and embrittlement. Epoxy polymer is shown swelling corrosion. Such types of pollutants are disintegrated metal and polymer and change their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Weather changes can affect the corrosion rate of materials because the compositions of corrosive substances increase or decrease temperatures of atmosphere, concentration of pollutants, moisture, humidity and acids. They initiate the corrosion of materials. The corrosion protection of epoxy-coated stainless steel was controlled by the application of synthesized decahydrobenzo [8] annulene-5, 10-disemicarbazone and this compound was nanocoated on the surface of epoxy-coated stainless steel. Nanocoating and filler materials were formed composite a thin barrier on the surface of epoxy-coated stainless steel and studied their action in corrosion in hostile environment. Nanocoating work can be completed by the use of nozzle spray and chemical vapor deposition. Thermal parameters like activation energy, heat of adsorption, free energy, enthalpy and entropy were used to study composite film formation. The corrosion rates of materials were calculated by gravimetric method. Surface coverage areas and coating efficiencies were obtained by the help of corrosion rate. Potentiostat used to determine corrosion potential, corrosion current and current density. Experimental observations indicated that composite film barrier was formed decahydrobenzo [8] annulene-5, 10-disemicarbazone and Tin which physical, chemical and mechanical properties did not change easily in ambient environment. Keywords: Hostile environment; corrosion; nanocoating; filler; thermal parameters; composite film barrier;

Authors: Javadian Alireza , Le Ferrand Hortense , E. Hebel Dirk , Saeidi Nazanin
Published: June 2022

Mycelium-bound composite materials are a new class of sustainable and affordable biocomposites that have been recently introduced into packaging, fashion, and architecture as alternative to traditional synthetic materials. In recent years extensive investigation and research studies have been dedicated to explore methods of production and processing as well as to find potential applications for mycelium-bound composite materials. However, application of this novel biocomposite within the construction industry has been limited to only small-scale prototypes and exhibition installations. The problems with low mechanical properties, high water absorption and lack of standard methods for production and testing of mycelium-bound composite materials remain as main challenges that need to be addressed when used as non-structural or semi-structural elements. This short review aims to display the potential of mycelium-bound composite materials for their use within the construction sector in the form of thermal and acoustic insulation as well as replacement for drywalls and tiles. This review summarizes the main available information with regards to the properties of mycelium-bound composites that have been used in construction sector while suggesting the direction for the future research and development on these biocomposites for their applications within the construction industry.
Relationship between Course Placement Criteria and Mathematics Achievement in an All-Boys Catholic School
Authors:   Spalding University, McCue Daniel
Published: June 2022

This study explored the mathematics course placement process for incoming students in an all-boys Catholic high school. The sequential nature of mathematics significantly impacts students’ opportunity to learn; moreover, the mathematics course taken by a student during ninth grade can have far-reaching effects. Previous studies have found that ninth-grade students enrolled in Geometry, rather than Algebra 1, have a greater chance of completing advanced mathematics courses and experiencing increased mathematics success. Thus, adequately prepared students should be placed in Geometry whenever possible. To aid this effort, this study investigated whether a relationship exists between course placement criteria and future mathematics achievement. The study sample was comprised of students who graduated from the subject high school between 2015 and 2019 (N = 1067). The placement criteria examined were Acuity Algebra Proficiency Test results, High School Placement Test mathematics scores, and eighth-grade teacher recommendations. ACT mathematics scores were used as measures of success; binary logistic regression was utilized to determine strength of association between placement criteria and future mathematics achievement. Results indicate that Acuity test performance is strongly associated with future mathematics achievement, while combinations of placement criteria are more effective than individual course placement measures. Implications for further research are discussed.

Published: June 2022

Catholic institutions of higher education are called to form citizens who fight against injustice, including persistent racial oppression. To do this, Catholic, public, and other private institutions must provide students opportunities to learn about and confront racism (Johnston, 2014). It is important that these institutions confront these issues because they employ faculty and staff who may experience systemic racism and can provide cultural knowledge to aid deconstructing racist ideologies. Undergraduate student evaluations of instructors or faculty, however, indicate discrimination against those perceived as non-white and with non-native English accents. This study focuses on one form of racism at a Catholic liberal arts college: bias against instructors who speak with a non-native English accent. This between-groups experimental study was guided by critical sociolinguistic theory and sociocultural theory to examine patterns in undergraduate engagement with material that varied only by instructor accent. Participants (n=98) completed a pre-assessment, a microlecture (randomized by accent), a post-assessment, and a microlecture evaluation. The study’s theoretical frameworks suggest that students would demonstrate bias against non-white presenters, despite the Catholic context and having no visual cues about the race or ethnicity of the presenter. Pre-and post-assessment results indicated that the microlecture had some limited effects on student learning regardless of instructor accent; however, instructors that were perceived as white had significantly higher ratings in terms of the student belief that they “showed enthusiasm about the subject matter” and that “watching this microlecture improved [their] score on the quiz.” These findings suggest continued work is needed to understand and confront issues of systemic racism in higher education.
Heterogeneity in Parental Priorities for What Children Should Learn in Schools and Potential Implications for the Future of Catholic Schools
Authors:   World Bank, Wodon Quentin ,   Loyola University New Orleans
Published: June 2022

Do parental priorities for what children should learn in school differ depending on the type of school chosen by parents? Does this, in turn, have potential implications for the future of Catholic schools in the United States? This article considers these questions in the context of the long-term decline in enrollment in U.S. Catholic schools. Specifically, the article considers three questions: 1) What are the priorities of parents for what their children should learn in school in the overall population? 2) Do these priorities differ between different groups of parents, including parents with children in Catholic schools and parents willing to consider Catholic schools for their children but not having enrolled their children in one? And 3) Are there individual parental characteristics associated with particular views about what children should learn in schools? Implications of the findings are discussed, specifically concerning targeted efforts to attract new students. The analysis is based on a market research survey implemented in 2017.
Influence of fitball aerobics on the development of individual coordinating abilities of girls 14–15 years old
Authors: Kyzmenko Irina , Ostrowski Andrzej , Zhuk Viacheslav
Published: June 2022

Purpose: to determine the change in the level of development of the dynamics of the coordination abilities of girls 14–15 years old under the influence of fitball aerobics exercises.

Material & Methods: the study was carried out on the basis of general secondary education in Kharkov. It was attended by 46 girls aged 14–15. The following methods were used in the course of the study: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics.

Results: the level of development of coordination abilities of girls aged 14–15 was assessed by such manifestations of coordination abilities as the ability for spatial orientation, the ability to assess and regulate the spatial and dynamic characteristics of movements, the ability to maintain static balance and the ability to adapt and restructure motor actions. A comparison of the indicators of the development of coordination abilities in the age aspect with the corresponding norms before and after the use of fitball aerobics exercises is presented. The results of the study indicate a trend towards an increase in the level of manifestation of coordination abilities after the experiment. The most significant increase was observed in the indicators of a jump with a turn: from 23,1% to 62,4% and the results of the Bondarevsky test: from 18.6% to 30.6%. Comparison of the indicators of coordination abilities in the age aspect showed that girls of 14 years old in most cases demonstrate higher results than girls of 15 years old. Comparison of the studied indicators with the relevant standards showed that the results correspond to the "average" level.

Conclusions: the dynamics of the results indicates the stability of the level of development of coordination abilities and the trend towards their improvement. This confirms the expediency of organizing fitball aerobics classes in the sports section of the school.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop the design of the e-learning concept through web-enhanced model for students at the Department of Arabic Education at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Research and Development (R&D) by using a 4-D model. The 4-D development model consists of four main stages, namely: Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. Data were collected through interview and distribution of questionnaire. After that, data analysis process was conducted in the form of both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The results of the study showed that the development of e-Learning in Arabic learning gave students a new experience / nuance in learning Arabic for 63.5%. In terms of human resources, there is still an assumption that the conventional learning model through face-to-face is still an easy means and at the same time pays attention to the emotional bond between educators and students. This study concludes that the use of e-Learning media is still new to learning Arabic, and therefore, literacy in digital media needs to be developed to make them more accustomed to using it. Moreover, there are still many shortcomings and complaints by students in using e-Learning media in Arabic learning, and therefore, it required lecturers to be more intensive in guiding them.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk pengembangan desain konsep e-learning dengan Model Web Enhanced pembelajaran bahasa Arab pada generasi Z yaitu Mahasiswa pada Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Arab di UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

Of pharmakon: Hallucination in Amerindian perspectivism and speculative materialism
Authors: Šatkauskas Ignas
Published: June 2022

Aims

The paper discusses the concepts of hallucination and psychedelic experience in philosophical and anthropological contexts, where these terms bring in presuppositions regarding body and soul, nature and culture.

Method

The discussion of the concepts is presented in the context of the debate between Viveiros de Castro's Amerindian perspectivism and Meillassoux's speculative materialism, where in the former the concepts have undergone an anthropological epoché in addressing the problematic presuppositions of unreality and in the latter hallucination and related concepts appear in a canonical western sense as imitations of the real.

Results

This debate appears to be closely related to the project of naturalization of spirituality. The critique also extends to concepts such as psychedelic and entheogen. In respect to certain indigenous concepts like kepigari of the Matsigenka, observed in anthropology (Shepard, 2018; Danowski, Viveiros de Castro, 2021) and by revisiting Derrida's Plato's Pharmacy (1981) we suggest that the philosopheme of pharmakon suits the role of proximity with indigenous thought for comparative analyses and offers a perspective for psychedelic philosophy.

Conclusions

The suggestion of considering psychedelics as an existential medicine (Letheby, 2017) could be interpreted as offering a pharmakon with ambiguous, indeterminate possibilities which would emphasize its theoretical soundness.

Published: June 2022

Background

Regular sport has favourable influence on the physical and mental state. Our aim was to analyse the relationship between regular sport activities, body parameters, cortisol level, perceived stress and the frequency of psychosomatic symptoms in male and female university students.

Methods

Subjects were university students (N = 200). They were divided in sporting (more than 7 h week−1: 56 males (sm), 50 females (sf)) and non-sporting (less than 3 h week−1: 44 males (nsm) and 50 females (nsf)) groups. Body composition was estimated by Inbody720-analyser. Stress levels were measured by (1) free cortisol level in saliva measured by using IBL-ELISA kits and (2) questionnaires about psychosomatic symptoms and perceived stress scale.

Results

There were significant subgroup’ differences in body composition (fat%:sm:12.1 ± 6.0 vs. nsm:17.9 ± 6.8; sf:20.8 ± 5.5 vs. nsf:25.4 ± 5.7; muscle%:sm:50.3 ± 3.6 vs. nsm:47.6 ± 3.9; sf:43.8 ± 3.2 vs. nsf:41.7 ± 3.3), and in stress level (total scores:sm:21.0 ± 5.7 vs. nsm:23.3 ± 7.2; sf:25.5 ± 7.0 vs. nsf:28.0 ± 9.7). There were gender differences in the psychosomatic symptoms' frequency (total scores: sm: 14.6 ± 6.3 vs. sf: 20.4 ± 7.4; nsm: 14.9 ± 6.1 vs. nsf: 19.6 ± 8.2). The sporting students had larger muscle, smaller fat percentages, and lower level of stress. Basic level of salivary cortisol revealed significant relation with physical activity: sporting students had lower level of cortisol. This relation was reflected in higher percentage of students with low level of cortisol in the physically active subgroups (s/ns males: 29% vs. 15%; s/ns females: 18% vs. 5%) and in the higher percentage of female students with high level of cortisol in the non-sporting subgroup (27% vs. 11%).

Conclusion

Regular sport activity is positively related with lower stress levels in university students.
1970s
Authors: Sturm Douglas
Published: June 2022

In its earliest iteration, the Bulletin (or The Council on the Study of Religion Bulletin as it was known then), was a central publication in the development of the burgeoning North American field. Its combination of the profession’s news and scholars’ critical reflections helped to usher in many of the frameworks within which contemporary scholars carry out their work. This 1976 piece by Douglas Sturm helps to contextualize the myriad considerations central to an institution’s health. We trust that today’s readers will see that though some of the acronyms and players have changed, many of the concerns remain.
Att leda med omsorg: fyra handledningsmetaforer i aktionsforskning
Authors: Bergmark Ulrika , Dahlbäck Ann-Charlotte , Hagström Anna-Karin , Viklund Sara
Published: June 2022

Intresset för praktiknära skolforskning är idag stort. Aktionsforskning är en populär form för samarbete mellan forskare och lärare där handledning är centralt. Syftet med denna studie är att problematisera handledning och handledarroller i aktionsforskningsprojekt. Som teoretisk grund ligger den amerikanska utbildningsfilosofen Nel Noddings omsorgsetik. Deltagarna i studien är en forskare och tre lärare som alla har erfarenheter av att leda aktionsforskningsprojekt genomförda inom kommunal skolverksamhet. Datainsamling har skett genom skriftliga reflektioner och kollegiala samtal om handledning och handledarroller. Analysen har utgått ifrån tematisk analys och domäninteraktionsmodell. I analysen framträder fyra handledningsmetaforer i aktionsforskning: trädgårdsmästaren, herden, läraren och brobyggaren. Alla rollerna kan praktiseras samtidigt och fingertoppskänsla avgör när en handledare går in i och ut ur olika roller. Slutsatsen är att omsorgsetik kan bidra till ökad förståelse för handledning som något situerat och relationellt, där ett symmetriskt förhållningssätt mellan handledare och handledd betonas. I handledning är det viktigt att inte behandla alla likadant, utan att i stället lära känna varandra som individer, ha tilltro till varandra och visa omsorg baserad på specifika behov. Handledarens roll omfattar att skapa förståelse för andras perspektiv samt att inbjuda till kommunikation och reflektion. Utifrån studiens resultat kan konstateras att de fyra metaforerna för handledarroller är användbara för att belysa komplexiteten i handledarroller och för att bidra till underlag för reflektion och omformulerande av stereotypa handledarroller.
Skolarisering och mantrat om tidiga insatser i utbildningen
Authors: Persson Sven , Ackesjö Helena , Lago Lina
Published: June 2022

Det råder konsensus mellan forskare och politiker om att tidiga insatser och reformer, riktade mot de yngre barnen i utbildningssystemet, är bland de viktigaste interventioner som ett samhälle kan vidta. Inriktningen på och konkretisering av de tidiga insatserna problematiseras emellertid sällan i policy. Utvecklingen kan karakteriseras som en pågående skolarisering av utbildning för de yngre barnen, det vill säga ett närmande till grundskolan och ett fjärmande från förskolan. Denna riktning har motiverats av ekonomiska, demokratiska och globala motiv. Syftet med denna essä är att problematisera skolariseringens konsekvenser och diskutera vad som händer då ”mantrat” om tidiga insatser konkretiseras till politiska reformer. Detta görs med exempel hämtade från den svenska förskoleklassen.
Local Centroids Structured Non-Negative Matrix Factorization
Authors: Gao Hongchang , Nie Feiping , Huang Heng
Published: June 2022

Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has attracted much attention and been widely used in real-world applications. As a clustering method, it fails to handle the case where data points lie in a complicated geometry structure. Existing methods adopt single global centroid for each cluster, failing to capture the manifold structure. In this paper, we propose a novel local centroids structured NMF to address this drawback. Instead of using single centroid for each cluster, we introduce multiple local centroids for individual cluster such that the manifold structure can be captured by the local centroids. Such a novel NMF method can improve the clustering performance effectively. Furthermore, a novel bipartite graph is incorporated to obtain the clustering indicator directly without any post process. Experiments on both toy datasets and real-world datasets have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Gözetleme Kapitalizmi Çağı: Gücün Yeni Sınırında İnsan Geleceği İçin Savaş
Authors: TALAY Ömür
Published: June 2022

Zuboff’a göre gözetim kapitalistlerine boyun eğmemek için gerçekleştirilecek olan direniş ilk bakışta oldukça basit: Eğer bu teknolojileri kullanmazsak ve verilerimizi teslim etmezsek sömürülmüyoruz. Ancak günümüz dijital çağında bu yöntem pek mümkün görünmüyor. Ayrıca Zuboff'un önerdiği gibi canavarı evcilleştirmek de çözüm değil. Ona göre canavarı yenmeli, evlerimizi, mahrem yerlerimizi geri almalı ve hayatlarımızı onun pençelerinden almalıyız. Ancak tüm bunları gerçekleştirmek için daha demokratik bir dijital ortam mı yaratılmalı yoksa direniş için işe önce kendimizden başlayarak okyanusta bir damla değil de dev bir dalga olmak için örgütlenmeli mi soruları giderek daha da tartışmalı hale geliyor.
THE PROSPECTS FOR THE LEX VALIDATIS DOCTRINE APPLICATION UNDER THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CLOSEST CONNECTION IN PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATIONA
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice (North Caucasian Branch), Novikova T. V.
Published: June 2022

Introduction: the lex validatis doctrine, based on the preferability of maintaining the validity of a contract, has been well-established in the jurisprudence of common law countries; instead of being justified by the concept of hypothetical will, it is now functioning in the field of the objective test of the closest connection. Thus, it is essential to fill the gap existing in the domestic science of private international law concerning the understanding of the ways of effective use of this doctrine in the mechanism of conflict-of-laws regulation in the Russian Federation. Purpose and objectives: the study aims to shape the understanding of the prospects and suggest ways of using the lex validatis doctrine within the framework of the principle of the closest connection in private international law of the Russian Federation. Methods: the methods used include a historical-legal method, which allows tracing the formation and prospects for the development of the lex validatis doctrine; a comparative legal method, which allows comparing developments in the field under study in common law countries and the Russian Federation; a systematic approach, which makes it possible to propose a coordinated system of ways of implementing the lex validatis doctrine in private international law of the Russian Federation. Results: we suggest using the lex validatis doctrine as one of the most important substantive legal factors for maintaining the substantive validity of a contract under the closest connection principle, which can perform various functions: as a general reserve connecting factor (Item 2 of Article 1186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), as a special connecting factor (Item 10 of Article 1211 and Item 1 of Article 1213 of the Civil Code), and as a corrective clause (Item 9 of Article 1211 of the Civil Code). Conclusion: despite the fact that the lex validatis doctrine is not directly enshrined in regulations, it can be implemented in private international law of the Russian Federation. It can be applied as a substantive legal factor complementing the evaluation of territorial ties when determining the law that is most closely related to the relationship (first of all, within the meaning of Item 2 of Article 1186 and Item 9 of Article 1211 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
CIVIL-LAW PROTECTION OF THE REPUTATION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FROM DEFAMATION
Authors:   Рeoples' Friendship University of Russia, Kuznetsov M. N. , Telnov A. V. ,   Рeoples' Friendship University of Russia
Published: June 2022

Introduction: in the context of recent multiple cases of defamation against the Russian Federation, the article analyzes the possibility of civil-law protection of Russia’s reputation and right to reputation. We discuss the possibility of applying the methods of civil-law protection of intangible benefits and personal non-property rights specified in the norms of Russian civil legislation to the protection of Russia’s reputation from defamation, taking into account the specific nature of this intangible benefit and Russia's personal non-property right to this benefit. Purpose: to analyze the current state of social relations associated with the need for civil-law protection of such a type of intangible benefits as reputation and the personal non-property right of the Russian Federation for this benefit, which arose due to the multiple cases of dissemination of false defamatory information concerning the Russian state. Methods: general scientific and special scientific methods were used, including theoretical, formal-legal, comparative-legal ones, method of analysis and synthesis. Results: the paper gives definitions of civil-law protection and safeguarding of the civil right of the Russian Federation to reputation; notes that civil-law protection of reputation should be carried out by means not prohibited by law, i.e. with the use of the appropriate form, means, and methods of protection; investigates the application of the methods of civil-law protection established in Russian civil legislation to the protection of Russia’s reputation from defamation, taking into account the specific nature of reputation as an intangible benefit that Russia possesses. Conclusions: it is essential to distinguish independent methods of civil-law protection of the reputation of the Russian Federation from defamation as this would make it possible to provide effective protection and hold liable for acts of defamation.
Nutrient utilization and growth performance of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fed varying levels of Composite Meal (CM) in replacement of fishmeal
Authors: Akinloye Emmanuel Ojewole , Emmanuel Olujimi Faturoti , Christianah Ihundu
Published: June 2022

This study evaluates the nutrient utilization and growth performance of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fed alternative animal protein composite meal for 42 days. The composite meal is composed of feather meal, blood meal, tilapia meal, and maggot meal each in a 25% proportion. Five isonitrogenous diets (T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5) containing 40% crude protein were formulated with the composite meal replacing fish meal at 0% control (T1), 25% (T2), 50% (T3), 75% (T4) and 100%(T5) respectively. The weight gain, protein intake, protein efficiency ratio, and specific growth rate in the 75% and 100% inclusion levels were not significantly different from the control diet. Fish survival ranged between 90-95% with the highest weight gain of 10.57g observed in the 100% inclusion level. The Feed conversion ratio varied between (1.17 and 1.37). The results from growth, feed utilization, and survival levels showed an overall good growth of the fish in the experimental diets, and this indicates that the composite meal is a potential replacement for fish meal in the diets of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings.

Static glucagon secretion analysis of isolated islets v1
Authors: Ghislain Julien
Published: June 2022

This protocol describes the steps to measure glucagon secretion in a static, 1-hour assay from isolated pancreatic islets. It is suitable for islets isolated from both rodents and humans. We routinely apply this protocol to assess alpha-cell function in response to low glucose concentrations and L-arginine but can be easily adapted to interrogate the response to a variety of secretagogues (eg. fatty acids, hormones). Briefly batches of 10 islets are pre-incubated in triplicate in KRB solution at 5.5 mM glucose twice for 20 min followed by incubation in 1 mM glucose with or without 10 mM L-arginine for 1 hour. Secreted glucagon is measured in the supernatant and intracellular glucagon content, after acid-alcohol extraction, by radioimmunoassay. This protocol is also suitable for assessing SST secretion, however we recommend increasing the islet number per well from 10 to at least 20 due to the relative lower levels of SST compared to glucagon.
Habitus formation and perceived academic norms of Hungarian communication scholars
Authors: Andrea Bajnok , Edina Kriskó , András Tari , Márton Demeter
Published: June 2022

Communication education has a long history in most Western societies, but its development dates back only a few decades in Central and Eastern Europe. Taking Hungary as a case study, this paper investigates how young communication scholars perceive the quality of their education, the norms of their academic field and their future career prospects. Building on 15 semi-structured interviews, our study found that young Hungarian academics perceive severe contradictions within the field of communication studies and, most importantly, contradictions between international and regional habitus and norms. The perceived struggle between international and regional norms and habitus forms an ambivalent field in which family background, international mobility, financial circumstances and future career plans play a more crucial role in habitus formation than formal education.
Homokpusztai fekete nyárasok a Tengelici-homokvidéken
Authors: Lendvai Gábor , Kevey Balázs
Published: June 2022

A Tengelici-homokvidék jellegzetes faji összetételű, fekete nyár uralta nyílt erdőfoltjai a kiskunsági borókás nyárasokhoz (Junipero-Populetum albae (Zólyomi ex Soó 1950) Szodfridt 1969) és pusztai tölgyesekhez (Populo canescenti-Quercetum roboris (Hargitai 1940) Borhidi in Borhidi et Kevey 1996) hasonló ökológiai helyzetben fordulnak elő. Az elemzésre alkalmas öt állomány fitoszociológiai vizsgálata szerint a Nagykőrösről és Bugacról származó referenciaanyaghoz viszonyítva jelentősen nagyobb arányban tartalmaznak évelő homokpusztai (Festucetea vaginatae), illetve száraz gyepi (Festuco-Brometea, Festucetalia valesiacae, Festucion rupicolae) fajokat, míg a réti (Molinio-Arrhenatheretea) és délkelet-európai száraz tölgyesek (Quercetea pubescentis-petraeae) karakterfajainak aránya alacsonyabb. A gyom jellegű (Chenopodio-Scleranthea) fajok és idegenhonos növények viszonylag magas aránya az állományok zavart jellegét jelzi. A bináris klaszter és főkoordináta elemzés eredményei szerint a tengelici állományok nagyjából azonos mértékben különböznek a nagykőrösi borókás nyárasoktól és pusztai tölgyesektől. Az eredményekből az a következtetés adódik, hogy a homoki sztyeperdők különböző típusairól jelenleg rendelkezésre álló felvételi anyag nem elegendő arra, hogy a fekete nyáras állományok szüntaxonómiai hovatartozását egyértelműen meg tudjuk határozni.
THE FEATURES OF FRAME INTERPRETATION IN TRANSLATION (on the material of ukrainian and crimeaan tatar languages)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, BONDARENKO Alina
Published: June 2022

The article reveals the meaning and structure of the concept of “frame” in modern linguistics, as well as outlines the main approaches to the classification of the frame in translation studies as an effective tool to explain the translation process. Later, this classification is used to analyze a number of examples taken from the story of M. Mathios “Armageddon has already taken place”, translated by Sh. Sati for the first Ukrainian-Crimean Tatar literary competition “Qırım İnciri” (“Crimean Fig”). The special conditions of formation of static and dynamic frames are investigated on examples in the article, and also advantages of use of frame translation for preservation of mental images of the people are shown. The article demonstrates the relevance of frame interpretation of a literary text from Ukrainian into Crimean Tatar as a means of solving problems that arise when translating mental images reflected in the culturally marked vocabulary of the original work into another language in different cultural environment. Finally, the article proves that the frame approach offers a solid theoretical basis for studying and preserving the mental images proposed by the author of the source text and reproduced by the translator, and provides a basis for studying the dynamic process underlying the ability to reproduce information with minimal distortion. Taking into account that frames represent static and dynamic phenomena, I have to admit that it works effectively to describe and explain the translator’s mental process. Translators, in terms of the semantics of frames, can be seen as creators who, operating on frames, seek to achieve cognitive equivalence.

Background: Despite the obvious advantages of transradial access and its widespread use, there are technical problems that force interventional surgeons to improve the methods of endovascular interventions. Aims: to analyze the effectiveness and safety of distal and traditional radial access for endovascular interventions. Methods: The study included 282 patients who underwent an endovascular intervention with distal radial access (DRA, 139 patients) or traditional radial access (TRA, 143 patients). The study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04211584. Results: The median diameter of the radial artery in its proximal part, i.e. at the site of TRA, was 2.5 mm [Q1; Q3: 2.27; 2.8], in the DRA group the median was 2.28 mm [Q1; Q3: 2.06; 3.56], p 0.0001. We noted statistically significant differences in the duration of puncture (p=0.0215), but not in the duration of the introducer insertion, catheterization of the coronary artery, fluoroscopy, the total time of intervention, the dose of ionizing radiation. In total, 28 complications developed (9.9% of 282): 14 in each of the groups in one year after the intervention. Two (0.7% of 282) patients developed bleeding [1 (0.7% of 139) DRA, 1 (0.7% of 143) TRA], 5 (1.8% of 282) radial artery dissection [2 (1.4% of 139) DRA, 3 (2.1% of 143) TRA], 9 (3.2% of 282) puncture failure [7 (5% of 139) DRA, 2 (1.4% of 143) TRA], 4 (1.4% of 282) radial artery perforation [2 (1.4% of 139) DRA, 2 (1.4% of 143) TRA], 7 (2.5% of 282) hematoma more than 5 cm [2 (1.4% of 139) DRA, 5 (3.5% of 143) TRA], 1 (0.4% of 282) radial artery thrombosis [(0.7% of 143) TRA]. The risk of complications did not depend on the type of access. Conclusions: Distal and traditional radial access do not differ in their efficiency and safety. At the same time, we noted a certain tendency to a longer puncture of the radial artery with distal radial access compared to the traditional one, which is due to the smaller diameter of the radial artery.

Authors: Dundua David P. , Khabazov Robert R. , Hricheva Nataly  A.
Published: June 2022

Background: Pericarditis, following pericardiotomy, is a well-known complication of cardiac surgery. The diagnosis of postpericardiotomy pericarditis (PP) is based on the electrocardiography (ECG) changes the ST segment elevation in combination with a depression of the PR interval. However, in some cases, the ECG changes are difficult to distinguish from the changes associated with ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. In such cases, the diagnosis of pericarditis is made by excluding acute coronary syndrome, for which additional expensive diagnostic tests are performed. Aims: the purpose of the study is to identify a pattern in the change in the PR interval, which is detected in patients with acute pericarditis who underwent pericardiotomy during coronary bypass surgery. Methods: The observational study included 47 patients after coronary bypass surgery. We compared ECG of two groups of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting 25 patients who demonstrated the ECG signs of acute pericarditis and 22 patients without those. Results: In most patients with PP after coronary bypass surgery, the characteristic ECG signs of acute pericarditis were accompanied by a transient shortening of the PR interval by 0.04 sec. Conclusion: The absence of such dynamics in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting without the ECG signs of pericarditis may indicate that a transient shortening of the PR interval may be an additional easily available ECG sign of acute PP.
ASMR as Example Narrowcasting and Its Audience: A Review on Turkish ASMR
Authors: BAYRAKTAR Recep
Published: June 2022

In the new media where there are many presentations and representations, the audience who are increasingly
fragmented, are integrated around different thematic areas, and more specific interests that affect their
mass characteristics. In this study, ASMR the phenomenon, which is among the popular contents of
YouTube, and has begun to gain a place in the mainstream media, is discussed as a new contextual category
that corresponds to the more specific interests of the audience and within the scope of narrowcasting.
The expansions that ASMR brings to both narrowcasting and fragmented audience are presented. In this
context, ASMR videos were observed by the netnography method during a year on YouTube, 8 Turkish
ASMR content creators/ASMRtists were interviewed with, and the audience comments in the three most
watched videos of these ASMRtists on YouTube were examined. Among the more significant findings of
the study are that the ASMR has 14 content categories in the context of narrowcasting, that the audience
who expect relaxation/therapy with ASMR make requests like an active content producer/prosumer, and
they need media mediation even so as to fall asleep.
Yeni Anlama-Yorumlama Yöntemleri Çerçevesinde Cihad Ayetleri: Mahmud Şeltut ve Modern Cihad Yorumu
Authors: ERASLAN Şule
Published: June 2022

İslâm’da cihâdın mahiyeti modern dönemde hakkında en çok tartışma yürütülen mevzulardandır. Gayr-ı müslim devletlerle Müslümanlar arasındaki ilişkilerin temelini savaş ahkâmının teşkil ettiğini vurgulayarak İslam’ın cihad anlayışını tenkit eden oryantalist fikir adamlarına karşı modern dönem Müslüman aydınlarının büyük çoğunluğu, Müslümanların gayr-ı müslim dünya ile ilişkilerinin barışçıl bir karakter arz ettiğini iddia etmişlerdir. Mahmud Şeltut cihad hakkındaki oryantalist iddialara cevap vermek için İslâm’da cihadın mahiyetine dair müstakil eser yazmış Mısır merkezli modern selefi hareketin önemli isimlerindendir. Sırf müdafaa savaşından ibaret bir cihad yorumunu benimsemiş gözüken Şeltut’un bu yönelişinin temelinde klasik anlama-yorumlama yöntemlerine yönelik muhalefet ve onlardan farklı yeni veya modern olarak isimlendirebileceğimiz bir metodolojik yaklaşım söz konusudur. Biz bu makale çerçevesinde Şeltut’un yeni anlama-yorumla yöntemini cihad ayetleri özelinde tetkike ve bu yeni metodolojik yaklaşımın nasları anlamak noktasındaki muhtemel problemlerine işaret etmeye gayret sarf edeceğiz.
Self-reported hearing loss, hearing aid use, and cognitive function among U.S. older adults
Authors: West Jessica S. , Smith Sherri L. , Dupre Matthew E.
Published: June 2022

There has been increasing attention to the role of hearing loss as a potentially modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. However, more nationally-representative studies are needed to understand the co-occurring changes in hearing loss and cognitive function in older adults over time, and how hearing aid use might influence this association. The purpose of this report is to examine how age-related changes in hearing loss and hearing aid use are associated with trajectories of cognitive function in a nationally-representative sample of U.S. older adults. We used 11 waves of longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) from 1998 to 2018 to examine changes in self-reported hearing loss, hearing aid use, and cognitive function in adults 65 and older by race and ethnicity. Results from mixed models showed that greater levels of hearing loss were associated with lower levels of cognitive function at age 65 in non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic older adults. We also found that the associations diminished across age in White and Black individuals; but remained persistent in Hispanic individuals. The use of hearing aids was not associated with cognitive function in Black older adults but appeared protective for White and Hispanic older adults. Overall, the findings from this report suggest that the timely identification of hearing loss and subsequent acquisition of hearing aids may be important considerations for reducing declines in cognitive function that manifests differently in U.S. population subgroups.

Two-dimensional basin modeling was carried out along regional profiles (sublatitudinal and submeridional). When modeling, the software package of Lomonosov Moscow State University was used. The models take into account the features of geological structure of the Riphean deposits of the Kama-Belsky aulacogene northern part and the Vendian-Paleozoic complexes that overlay it. Recent data on the features of region geology (taking into account the assessment of thickness of the eroded Riphean-Vendian deposits), as well as on the features of organic matter of the ancient Precambrian deposits were used. As a result, boundaries of the oil and gas window and geotemperature gradient were revealed. Main type of deposits according to the results of 2D basin modeling is anticlinal (reservoir-arch) and stratigraphically shielded. Data obtained testify, firstly, to two stages of hydrocarbon generation by the Riphean-Vendian oil source strata (the first stage occurs at the end of the Early Riphean, the second – at the Vendian-end of the Late Carboniferous), and, secondly, to prevailing share of the Riphean-Vendian complex of source strata in the formation of oil and gas content of sedimentary cover within the marginal zones of the Kama-Belsky aulacogen northern-northwestern part of the Volga-Ural oil and gas basin. Generation of hydrocarbons by source strata of the Riphean-Vendian and Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous continues to this day, however, it has rather an «inertial character».
