Nonlinear response of doubly curved sandwich panels with CNT-reinforced composite core and elastically restrained edges subjected to external pressure in thermal environments
Authors: Tung Hoang Van , Mai Dao Nhu , Long Vu Thanh
Published: December 2021

An analytical investigation on the nonlinear response of doubly curved panels constructed from homogeneous face sheets and carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) core and subjected to external pressure in thermal environments is presented in this paper. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are reinforced into the core layer through uniform or functionally graded distributions. The properties of constituents are assumed to be temperature dependent and effective properties of CNTRC are determined using an extended rule of mixture. Governing equations are established within the framework of first order shear deformation theory taking into account geometrical imperfection, von Kármán–Donnell nonlinearity, panel-foundation interaction and elasticity of tangential edge restraints. These equations are solved using approximate analytical solutions and Galerkin method for simply supported panels. The results reveal that load carrying capacity of sandwich panels is stronger when boundary edges are more rigorously restrained and face sheets are thicker. Furthermore, elevated temperature has deteriorative and beneficial influences on the load bearing capability of sandwich panels with movable and restrained edges, respectively.
İslam Öncesi Arap İnanç İkliminde Putçuluğun Toplumbilimselliği
Authors: DOĞAN Metin
Published: December 2021

Birçok toplum tarihsel süreç içerisinde inanç anlamında farklı eğilimlere sahip olmuştur. Bu makalenin amacı, İslam öncesi kabile ve klan yapılanması içerisindeki Arapların da içinde bulunduğu toplum tiplerinin farklı şekillerde ve zaman dilimlerinde totemizm, fetişizm, natürizm ve animizm gibi sistemleri tecrübe etmiş olup olmadıklarına genel hatlarıyla bakmaktır. Aynı şekilde İslam öncesi Arapları, kendilerini diğer toplum tiplerinden ayıran özellikleri ve kadim zamanlardan beri yaşadıkları hem tek ilahlı dinleri hem de putperestliği irdelemektir. Araştırmamızda İslam’a kadar son temsilcisi “haniflik” olan tek ilahlı din algısının, İslam öncesi Arapların dini tecrübelerine yaşam biçimlerini derinden etkileyecek kadar sirayet etmiş olduğu ve dolayısıyla İslam öncesi Arapların putperestliği Haniflikte olduğu gibi, hiç bir zaman tek ilahlı dinin dejenerasyonundan bağımsız olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Aynı zamanda Hanif de kadim ilahi dinlerin kaderini paylaşmış, cemaatleşme olgusu gerçekleşemeden, yani Hanif dini tecrübesi inananları tarafından sosyal boyutuyla paylaşılamadan putperestliğin baskısıyla karşı karşıya kalmıştır.

Fakat gerek pagan tapınışların gerekse Hanifliğin dini tecrübesine ilişkin tarihsel verilerin sınırlı olması problematik bir konu olarak araştırmanın zorluklarındandır. Çalışmamızda sorguladığımız diğer bir konu, Putperest Arapların putçuluklarının salt puta tapınan, ona kulluk gösterisini simgeleyen farklı ibadet biçimleri olarak görülemeyeceğidir. Nitekim bu putlar, başta “yüce varlık Allah” olmak üzere, cinleri, melekleri ve diğer soyut varlıkları da içine alan bir tanrılar panteonunun yeryüzündeki sembolleri olarak somutlaştırılmıştır. Aynı zamanda tanrısal varlıklar olmaları nedeniyle de onlardan, bir tanrıdan istenecek her tür görevi yerine getirmeleri beklenmiştir. Bu anlamda putlar işlevseldirler ve onlara günlük rutin işlerin yürümesinden bireysel ve sosyal gereksinimlerin karşılanmasına, şifa kaynağı olmalarından yüce varlıkla irtibat aracı olma fonksiyonlarına kadar her açıdan sorumluluk yüklenmiştir.
Media corrosiveness and materials resistance at presence of aggressive carbon dioxide
Authors: Kantyukov R. R. , Zapevalov D. N. , Vagapov R. K.
Published: December 2021

At the present stage of gas field development, the products of many mining facilities have increased content of corrosive CO2 . The corrosive effect of CO2 on steel equipment and pipelines is determined by the conditions of its use. CO2 has a potentially wide range of usage at oil and gas facilities for solving technological problems (during production, transportation, storage, etc.). Simulation tests and analysis were carried out to assess the corrosion effect of CO2 on typical steels (carbon, low-alloy and alloyed) used at field facilities. Gas production facilities demonstrate several corrosion formation zones: lower part of the pipe (when moisture accumulates) and top of the pipe (in case of moisture condensation). The authors have analyzed the main factors influencing the intensity of carbon dioxide corrosion processes at hydrocarbon production with CO2 , its storage and use for various technological purposes. The main mechanism for development of carbon dioxide corrosion is presence/condensation of moisture, which triggers the corrosion process, including the formation of local defects (pits, etc.). X-ray diffraction was used for the analysis of corrosion products formed on the steel surface, which can have different protective characteristics depending on the phase state (amorphous or crystalline).
Assessment of the impact of chemical pollution of ferrous metallurgy enterprises on forests using satellite photographs

Published: December 2021

The considered operating ferrous metallurgy enterprise uses three different technological modes of steel smelting, each of which is characterized by an individual composition of the ingredients of chemical pollutant emissions into the atmosphere affecting the state of the forest areas around this enterprise. Based on the decoding of satellite pixel photographs of forest areas, the technological mode with the least impact on forest areas was determined. It corresponds to the condition of the minimum area of ecological zones around the ferrous metallurgy enterprise. The authors propose an assessment of the impact of chemical pollution of ferrous metallurgy enterprises on forests in the form of areas of ecological zones of the state of forest vegetation and the volume of biomass in its various parts. The mosaic of ecological zones of forest areas is determined from their satellite pixel photographs using an original algorithm of “controlled cluster analysis”. The main recommendation for ferrous metallurgy enterprises to choose one of several alternative technological modes is as follows: the choice of technological mode should be based on a comparison of sizes of the areas of ecological zones. In this case, the technological mode with the smallest dimensions of the area is selected. Assessment of the damage caused by the chemical pollution of the plant to forest areas was determined by the area of ecological zones and the volume of biomass loss in forest areas in comparison with the background areas. The boundaries of ecological zones can be determined according to the “dose-effect” dependencies typical for the considered region.

Authors: Ivanov Yu. F. , Gromov V. E. , Konovalov S. V. , Shlyarova Yu. A. , Vorob'ev S. V.
Published: December 2021

The high-entropy alloy (HEA) of Al - Co - Cr - Fe - Ni system of nonequiatomic composition is obtained by the technology of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) in atmosphere of pure nitrogen. By the methods of modern physical materials science it is shown that in the initial state the alloy has dendritic structure indicating nonhomogeneous distribution of alloying elements. It is a multiphase material whose main phases are Al3NCr3C2 , (Ni, Co)3Al4 . Nonadimensional particles (Ni, Co)3Al4 of cubic shape are located along interfaces of submicron phases Al3Ni and Cr3C2 . The HEA irradiation by pulsed electron beams with energy density Es = 10 + 30 J/cm2, pulse duration of 50 is, frequency of 3 Hz and pulse number of 3 leads to high-velocity melting and subsequent crystallization of surface layer. If Es = 10 J/cm2, no failure of dendritic crystallization structure happens. Interdendritic spaces are enriched in chemical elements Al, Ni and Fe, and dendrites themselves - in chromium atoms. The most liquating element of the alloy is Al, the least one is Co. If Es = 20 J/cm2, a nanocrystalline structure is formed in the layer 15 inn thick in bulk of grains. Size of crystallization cells amounts to 100 - 200 nm, size of inclusions in cell junctions is 20 - 25 nm, and along cell boundaries it is 10 - 15 nm. Cells of high-velocity crystallization are enriched in Al and Ni. The Co atoms are homogeneously distributed along the surface layer volume. The most liquating element is Cr, the least liquating one is Co. The increase in energy density of electron beam to 30 J/cm2 doesn't lead to substantial (as compared to Es = 20 J/cm2 ) variations in surface layer structure. The irradiation mode (Es = 20 J/cm2, 50 is, 3 pulses, 0.3 Hz) is detected that allows formation of the surface layer with the highest level of homogeneity of chemical element distribution in the alloy.

Second Language Corner for Children’s House
Authors: Rosales Chavarria Romali
Published: December 2021

This work reports, from a qualitative research perspective, the development of an English Corner project for a preschool Children’s House classroom in central Mexico over the course of a 3-year period. It shows the transition of a language specialist over six consecutive periods of work, from a traditional understanding and practice of teaching English as a second language to young learners into a more comprehensive one of the Montessori Method. The analysis of my own practice is used to recover insights through a reflective process with the intention to develop a second language (L2) Montessori program for 3- to 6-year-olds that aligns better with Montessori pedagogy.  Variables such as instruction time, setting, group constitution, materials, and teaching and learning strategies allowed for certain aspects to arise as leading points of interest for the focus of the analysis and the methodological and pedagogical adaptations that followed each period. This paper is an attempt to fill the gap between the need to deliver a second language effectively in Montessori education and the lack of guidance for doing it the Montessori way; it is especially for practitioners who do not have a Montessori background but also for Montessori-trained teachers for whom more specific preparation would aid their practice. I also hope to stimulate further research in the field of second language acquisition and multilingualism in Montessori education at every level of education.
Designing the Montessori Coaching Tool Elementary Rubric for Early-Career Professional Development
Authors: Murray Angela , Daoust Carolyn , Mallett Jan
Published: December 2021

Becoming a competent Montessori Elementary guide is a complex process, so we are developing the Montessori Coaching Tool Elementary (MCT-EL) rubric to describe teaching-practice expectations for self-reflection and formative feedback during the critical early period in a teacher’s development. The purpose of this article is to share results from a small-scale, online survey collecting both qualitative and quantitative feedback on the rubric from experienced Montessori Elementary teacher educators. The rubric’s content was based on Maria Montessori’s writings and welldocumented Montessori practices, which we translated to specific teacher behaviors and developmental progressions. We wanted to gauge the MCT-EL rubric’s usefulness and appropriateness from the perspective of experts who have significant depth of experience mentoring new teachers. The rubric was not developed to be used for performance evaluation, promotion, or retention but rather for early-career Montessori teachers’ self-reflection. It provides a framework for coaching conversations between the early-career Montessori teacher and a Montessori mentor. Results from the study identified overall support for use of the MCT-EL rubric with developing teachers, along with specific recommendations for revisions, additions, and deletions. Using a thorough review of the data, we developed a refined MCT-EL rubric, which is provided in Appendix B and is available for use by interested practitioners in the field.
Poetics of literary dream in Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky’s novel “Sideline”
Authors:   Irkutsk State University, Lipina M. A.
Published: December 2021

The paper is dedicated to studying the oneiric text of S. Krzhizhanovsky’s novel “Sideline.” The topicality of the research is due to modern literary criticism interest in examining various aspects of artistic hypnology of Russian writers, as well as studying the works of “returned” authors, including S. Krzhizhanovsky. The realization specifics of the structural model of the literary dream in question can be presented as the following scheme: unconscious falling asleep – dream-journey – awakening by falling down. Different variants of artistic implementation of the main metaphors connected with dreaming are analyzed: “dream-life” in the image of briefcase-cushion and the image of “million-brained” dream of equality and brotherhood; “dream-death” in the image of the leader of a dream world, with the prevalence of thanatological vocabulary in the description of the city of dreams. The ways of imitating the space of real dreaming in the oneiric text of the novel are studied: awakening by falling, sudden muteness of characters, sudden change of location, etc. Also, the specifics of using the plot device of an unannounced dream is considered contributing to the illusion of “reality” of everything that happens to the character in the city of dreams. An attempt is made to consider the oneirotop of the novel in terms of classification by genre and function, plot and composition, images and esthetics and characters, as well as artistic functions of dreams in the literature (plot function, psychological function, idea, and symbolic function). The oneiric text of Krzhizhanosky’s novel “Sideline” is viewed as an artistic realization of the author’s original idea of the subconscious, dreamy origin of a communist utopia.
Game historiosophy of A. Ivanov: the violence of form and the rehabilitation of meaning (based on the novels “Psoglavtsy” and “Pishcheblok”)
Authors:   Irkutsk State University (Irkutsk, Russian Federation), Shtukkert M. L.
Published: December 2021

The paper analyzes the specificity of Ivanov’s historiosophy in two novels, “Psoglavtsy” and “Pishcheblok,” which are particularly interesting in this sense since in terms of genre, they do not correspond to the scale of historical issues as much as possible. These novels use the Gothic genre model, preserving the specifics of artistic space and type of hero. However, the generic Gothic time is replaced by historical time, experienced personally and subjectively. Meanwhile, a specific feature of Gothic time is retained, such as repetition, replaying a crisis moment of the past until the balance is restored. The author refuses a vector image of national history, forcing historical time to repeat itself in a cycle that resembles not only literary Gothic but also a computer game. It is not a question of bad infinity, but a game repetition, eventually leading to the “passage” of a crisis section of history. Thus, the struggle against genre form rehabilitates the content of national history. This principle also defines the history concept as a whole: A. Ivanov tends to see the historical process as including both the aggression of “form” (empire, state power, fate) and the defense of “content” (humanity revealed in individual choice), which, being opposed, are equally necessary for each other. Not only does the method based on the struggle and mutual necessity of form and content shape historiosophy in A. Ivanov’s novels, but it also organizes their artistic world. Ivanov’s game historiosophy is thus opposed to a postmodern game tending to destruct form and meaning.
Metaphorical expressives in Tuvan lexicography
Authors:   Tuvan Institute of Humanities and Applied Socio-Economic Research under the Government of the Republic of Tuva, Annai E. K.
Published: December 2021

Fixation and assignment of labels to specific semantic derivation cases, namely metaphorical expressives (expressive lexical units) in Tuvan dictionaries, are considered and compared with their Russian equivalents. The Russian language influence on the semantic structure of the Tuvan lexemes is observed. Metaphorical expressives are lexemes formed by metaphorical derivation resulting in new (figurative) meanings without changing the form. The number of such units in the colloquial speech was found to increase under the Russian language influence in recent decades. New formation models non-typical for Tuvan but common in Russian have appeared. Also, the calques of Russian expressives based on models absent in Tuvan were found: bash aaryy (lit.: head pain) → “person or problem causing emotional pain or frustration to the speaker” from Russian golovnaya bol’ with the same meaning. The analysis showed Tuvan dictionaries not to reflect this phenomenon sufficiently, i.e., word figurative meanings, namely metaphorical expressives, are not represented there broadly enough. It may be because the labels marking certain words’ usage areas, particularly the label razg. (colloquial speech) is used rather liberally since the stylistic differentiation process is still ongoing in standard Tuvan. While actively used in oral colloquial speech, most expressive meanings of polysemantic words revealed in the study are not found in Tuvan dictionaries. In Russian, there are special colloquial dictionaries, as well as regional dictionaries with stylistic labels. There are no such dictionaries in Tuvan, mostly due to its vague stylistic differentiation. However, the Tuvan language is still evolving, with dictionaries updated accordingly.
The mythological image of the owner of Altai: functions and semantics
Authors:   Institute of Philology SB RAS (Novosibirsk, Russian Federation), Dampilova L. S. , Yusha Zh. M. ,   Institute of Philology SB RAS
Published: December 2021

The paper describes the mythological image of the owner of Altai in the religious beliefs and ritual culture of the Turkic and Mongolian peoples. It has been revealed that the degree of preservation of the Altai cult is currently undergoing certain changes, depending on the area of residence of a particular people. The image the owner of Altai has similar mythological, symbolic, virtual, and real features in different peoples existing in a single historical and cultural context. In most of the texts, the dominant functions in his character are those that personify the owner of the land and all living things on it, the patron of wealth, the deity of fertility and procreation. He embodies the features of a heavenly divine being and traditional land masters, making him similar to the White Elder from the Mongolian cultural tradition. We have studied the features of the folklore text functioning in ritual practice, considered the ritual text structure, determined the stable motives of ritual texts addressed to the spirit-master of Altai, and characterized the ethnic specifics of the sacralization and deification of the Altai space in the traditions of the Turkic-Mongolian world. It should be noted that ritual and mythological contexts suggest that connotative semantics reveals the ancient origins of the primary denotation with the help of epithets determining the sacred character meaning. The verbal material analysis has revealed that in some cases, the primary denotative sign is lost or acquires a new mythological version over time.
Verbs of emotional state in counter-optative utterances
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation), Wang A.
Published: December 2021

The paper is focused on infinitive utterances (IU) expressing the meaning of undesirability, or counter-optative IU (Ne spuskat’sya by k dvorniku), with verbs of the lexical-semantic group (LSG) of emotional state (according to the classification by L. G. Babenko). Special attention is paid to the verb aspect, the temporal vector of the IU, and the presence of the potential seme of a negative evaluation of the denoted situation in the meaning of the verb. The selectivity of the syntactic model under consideration towards verbs of the LSG of emotional state is investigated. The following prerequisites for a verb of emotional state to be used in a counter-optative IU were determined: the presence of the potential seme of a negative evaluation of the denoted situation in the meaning of the verb, the imperfect aspect of the latter, and the future temporal perspective of the whole utterance. Also, counter-optative infinitive utterances were found to demonstrate quite a high degree of selectivity in using the words of LSG of emotional state. The results show that when selecting verbs to be the main component of counter-optative infinitive utterances, preference is given to imperfective verbs of emotional state. The future temporal perspective (the prospective and prospective-consequent temporal vector) is a condition that enables selecting the verbs of emotional state in counteroptative infinitive utterances. The factors contributing to the use of verbs of the LSG of emotional state in counter-optative infinitive utterances, or conversely, preventing their use, are to be studied further.
Absolute isolated phrases in Russian poetic speech from Kantemir to Lermontov
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University (Petrozavodsk, Russian Federation), Patroeva N. V.
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the analysis of the constructions with absolute (independent) isolated phrases extracted from the poetic texts of Russian poets of the Baroque, Classicism, Sentimentalism, and Romanticism. The use of an independent dangling participle was supported by the old Slavic tradition of the independent dative case and, already in the old Russian era, an independent dangling participle was often replaced by the construction with a frozen active participial inseparable nominative (adverbial participle), leading to more active absolute functioning of independent dangling participles. On the one hand, the history of independent isolations in Russian poetic speech from Kantemir to Lermontov demonstrates the scope of the language experiment on the “introduction” of syntactic Gallicisms of various types into the Russian speech – participial, adjective, substantive (in the form of applications and segments), pronominal ones. On the other hand, it shows a narrow timeframe of this entry of “agrammatic” (i.e., breaking the linear chain of traditional subordinating synthetic connections) elements into the language, as well as strong resistance to using non-Russian constructions. Experiments with absolute isolation are vivid evidence of the increasing tendency towards analytism in the evolution of the Russian literary language of the New Time and, at the same time, strong and victorious resistance to these tendencies on the part of a grammatical system protecting its traditional synthetic bases from the alien influence.
Conceptualization of sacrifice: discursive vectors of evaluation
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute (Moscow, Russian Federation), Karasik V. I. , Milovanova M. S. ,   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute (Moscow, Russian Federation)
Published: December 2021

The paper deals with understanding a sacrifice in linguistic consciousness. The idea of sacrifice reflects the interaction between man and a higher power. The essence of this notion is the objective and ways of implementing sacrifice and the general direction of its understanding corresponds to its rationalization and, consequently, desacralization. The research material was taken from Russian and English dictionaries, National corpora of the Russian and the English languages, collections of aphorisms. The verbal explanation of the concept “sacrifice” includes five components: 1) the subject who performs a sacral act; 2) the object of sacrifice, usually a living being; 3) the objective of the action – propitiation of a supreme force or demonstration of veneration and awe; 4) the cause of action – understanding of one’s sins and the divine greatness; 5) the mode of action – giving a certain object or a living being by means of its mortification to a God. Four typical sacrifice subjects may be identified: the supreme force, which may coincide with people or ideas, the victim, the actor, and the audience. The idea of sacrifice is closely connected to the ideas of worship, trial, and heroism. Discursive vectors of conceptualization of sacrifice emphasize its sacral, or heroic, or habitual meaning. The imaginative (figurative) aspect of sacrifice shows its necessity and approval in religious discourse and its critical understanding in everyday communication. The evaluative dimension of sacrifice, as presented in aphorisms, stresses its moral importance (especially in the case of self-sacrifice) and its disputability in other circumstances.

Authors:   Azerbaijan Tourism and Management University (Baku, Azerbaijan), Huseyn Arzu Alim , Sadiqova Ulker Ferhad ,   Azerbaijan Tourism and Management University (Baku, Azerbaijan)
Published: December 2021

One of the sectors most affected by the new coronavirus pandemic globally is the tourism sector. Due to the closure of the borders and the suspension of flights, in 2020, four times fewer foreigners and stateless persons visited Azerbaijan compared to 2019. In 2020, the turnover of mutual tourism services decreased by 4.3 times and there was a deficit as a result of the excess of imports over exports of tourism services. The crisis has caused serious economic losses not only in the tourism sector, but also in other related sectors. This study assesses the authors’ predictions about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector and the expected recovery period. Suggestions are made on the changes that will occur in the post-pandemic period and the level of Azerbaijan’s preparedness for it. The study aims to investigate the impact of coronavirus infection on the world economy and the country’s economy, to examine existing problems and current development scenarios. It is also necessary to explore the possibility of using alternative types of tourism during the post-pandemic period. The research methodology is comparative analysis, a systematic approach and statistical analysis. According to analytical results, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism was generalized and the implementation of the measures to be taken in the post-pandemic period for the tourism sector was justified. In order to eliminate the problems caused by the virus, it is necessary to apply a number of new travel rules in the tourism sector, which may apply to the visa regime, vaccinations, and insurance. The necessity to maintain physical distance can also change the organizational form of tourism, and tourism companies may have to switch from mass tourism to individual or small group travel. The State Program on the Restoration and Sustainable Development of the Territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan Liberated from Occupation for 2021–2025 project considers it expedient to give a special role to the development of tourism. In the study, the authors summarized the problems created by the pandemic in the tourism sector, analyzed various scenarios for the future development of tourism, made a number of proposals for travel companies in the post-pandemic period. The potential of alternative types of tourism was investigated and appropriate proposals were made for the development of tourism in the territories liberated from occupation.

Authors: Khoroshiltsev Mikhail I.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes shale gas production in the United States and calculates its economic efficiency. The development of shale gas production became possible due to the combination of tight reservoirs in a single technological process of drilling and hydraulic fracturing. A technological breakthrough in gas production made it economically attractive for investors (considering the prices of that period) to develop unconventional hydrocarbon deposits. At the same time, like any new industrial sector, the development of shale gas is associated with significant costs at various levels.

a study group and a control group using a random number table method. The patients in the control group used conventional nursing methods to treat and care for the patients, and the patients in the study group used hospice care measures and combined personalized nursing measures. The quality
of life and pain treatment effects of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were compared. Result Before treatment, the quality-of-life scores of the two groups of patients were low, and there was no statistical difference (P>0.05); After treatment, the quality of life of
the two groups of patients improved, but compared with the control group, the improvement was more obvious in the study group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In terms of pain treatment effect, the total effective rate of pain treatment in the study group was
87.5%, which was significantly better than the 62.5% in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Personalized nursing services and hospice care are conducive to improving the survival and treatment of elderly patients with advanced cancer, and
can be used as a clinical application program for the care of advanced cancer patients.

Shuwei Decoction itself has many functions, not only good for human body, but also has many biological functions. For functional dyspepsia rats, the distribution of connexin 43 protein and the repair and regeneration of interstitial cells of Cajal(RRICC) have different changes in
different treatment methods. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of Shuwei Decoction on the distribution of connexin 43 protein and the RRICC in rats with functional dyspepsia. In order to prove the specific effect of Shuwei Decoction on rats with functional dyspepsia, 50 rats
were selected as the research object, and the size of distribution area of Cx43 protein and the cell regeneration were observed. The speed of birth and repair, the distribution of Cx43 protein and the level of Cx43 protein were detected, and the statistical data were studied. The results show
that Shuwei decoction can promote the regeneration and formation of ICC, thus obtaining the structural integrity of ICC, improving the potential intestinal disorder and treating FD. Shuwei decoction has a strong effect on the RRICC, which is the result of the increase of the number of intercellular
stem cells, and the speed of cell repair and regeneration is increased by nearly 30%. On the basis of the distribution of Cx43 protein, the distribution area increased by 20% compared with the original basis. Therefore, Shuwei decoction has a great influence on the distribution of connexin
43 proteins and the RRICC in rats with functional dyspepsia.

Objectives: We investigated the dynamic changes in the impact of online peer support on individual behavior, using the online smoking cessation community as an example. Methods: This study included a longitudinal sample of 52 adolescents (aged 17-21) who volunteered to quit smoking
in an online smoking cessation community. We described an actor-based model for online friendship network-smoking cessation behavior co-evolution, using social network dynamic analysis to study the interaction between learners to explore the impact of online peer support on adolescent smoking
cessation behavior. Results: Three RSiena models exhibited high goodness of fit in the structural effect part (The estimated values of the three reciprocity effect parameters were 1.7067, 1.07384, and 1.07401, respectively). The estimated value of the in-degree effect parameter of smoking
cessation behavior influenced by network structure was 0.0934. Conclusions: Online peer support has a significant impact on the propensity for adolescents to select offline friends. The more online peers’ support, the better results of teenagers online smoking cessation. Online peer
support significantly affects the changes in individual behaviors.

Objectives: In this paper, the effects of tobacco on aerobic exercise ability and physical fitness recovery of college students were studied. Methods: University group sports intervention form: traditional characteristic project (basketball) + Taiji soft ball (R&D intervention
project). Exercise time: 3 times/week; Activity duration: 30min; Activity intensity: the heart rate is controlled at 120-140 beats/min. All the college students in the experimental group are students who have never smoked, and the college students in the control group are students who have
smoked for more than two years. The other conditions are the same. Results: The exercise time and endurance of experimental groups I and II were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the cardiopulmonary function was significantly lower than that of the control group. The
indexes of experimental group II changed significantly compared with experimental group I, and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: Cigarette smoke can significantly reduce the aerobic exercise ability and anti fatigue ability. The longer the smoking time, the more serious
the adverse effects. Therefore, tobacco smoke and nicotine will damage college students’ aerobic exercise ability and have a negative impact on the recovery of physical fitness after exercise.

Application of Fragmented Narrative in MG Music Animation—Taking Incognito as An Example
Authors: Tao Yijun , He Weilin
Published: December 2021

Fragmented narrative has the characteristics of postmodernism: no center, no depth, entertaining, and deconstructionist-center. It intersperses with the shots of text and pictures to change from montage to collage, which subverts the traditional audiovisual language with a strong
personality. However, although the music animation video has a lot to express, the short length limits the expression’s completeness. Therefore, it is necessary to express the key points through a fragmented narrative, while the combination of fragmented information can engage the audience.
Music animation, more conducive to publicity, combines short music videos and animations. It supplements the content that music cannot express with images. Incognito is an MG music animation produced around cyber-violence, which drives the picture narrative fragmentation with that of the music
narrative by organizing the pictures around the music. Meanwhile, the animation produced in MG format adopts MG animation’s flexibility, bringing new audiovisual enjoyment to the audience.
