Epifanias Literárias: Poéticas de acontecimentos na cidade
Authors: Monteiro Ana Lucia
Published: November 2021

O espaço na cidade é um lugar extremamente revelador de um modo de vida dos citadinos, em seus aspectos culturais, sociais e políticos. Todas as coisas que acontecem sinalizam questões e ou tensões, que deixam marcas e ecoam sentimentos sobre a cidade que vivemos e a cidade que queremos. Assim, esse artigo propõe analisar algumas manifestações de escritas nos muros da cidade, designados por essa pesquisadora como Grafite Literário (GL). Os GLs são frases, poemas geralmente curtos, desenvolvidos em diferentes técnicas de impressão, cheios de significados e discursos, sejam eles políticos, poéticos e ou literários, uma verdadeira epifania na cidade. Procura-se identificar possíveis relações, transgressões e ou conflitos desses escritos na pele dos muros, nas suas mais variadas formas de expressão, abordando conceitos da arte urbana, arte e ativismo, poesia e suas relações com o estados de consciência do homem metropolitano, buscando uma visão transdisciplinar e epistemológica dos acontecimentos mais recentes, instaurados nas áreas públicas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, pelas fortes pressões sócio econômicas e políticas.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 11thMarch,2020. It was recommended to use standard Q COVID-19 Ag detection test as a point of care diagnostic assay for testing in the containment zones as well as hospitals in combination with the RT-PCR test.Medical students had been involved to carry out the Rapid Antigen Testing (R.A.T) Program.Objective: To evaluate perception of medical and paramedical students towards rapid antigen testing program (R.A.T.). Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted among Medical/Paramedical students of Ahmedabad, Gujarat participating in R.A.T. This program involved testing of people by standard Q COVID-19 Ag detection test. Patients who tested positive were isolated and counselled for further management. Feedback responses from the students were elicited regarding program effectiveness, utility and students’ satisfaction. Results: A total of 513 responses were recorded. 72.8% of the students perceived their communication skills to improve with patients. It helped 62.9% students to allay fear and apprehension regarding COVID.About77.8% of the students were extremely satisfied with the transport facility provided by the authorities. About 53% students were extremely satisfied with personal protective equipment. 36.6% students were extremely satisfied with remuneration. R.A.T. program invited intermediate rating with 34.8% students rating it as 7 or 8 on a scale of 0-10. Conclusion: Students reacted positively for the program and reported improvement in their communication skills. Most of the students were satisfied working at the community level during this pandemic and this program provided them unique chance to work at grassroots level. Undergraduate students for the first time were given individual responsibility as a health care worker in society. Hence, eliciting their perception and feedback was useful for all stakeholders.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Antenatal HIV counseling is an opportunity to educate HIV negative women to remain protected from infection. However, it needs to be optimized to achieve the desired effect. Objective: To evaluate the effect of reinforcement of key messages during the antenatal HIV counseling. Methods: In a PPTCT clinic 202 pregnant women who had already received pretest HIV counseling were assessed for retention in knowledge in four key domains of HIV knowledge using an 8 point scoring system (Non-Intervention group Score B). In another 200 newly recruited pregnant women, intervention was interactive group counseling, assessment (Intervention group Score A), personal reinforcement session and reassessment during post counseling (Intervention group Score B). Impact of intervention was determined by comparing the scores between and within groups using factorial and repeated measures ANOVA respectively. Results: Non-Intervention group Score B was 4.4 (SD± 1.7), compared to 6.5 (SD± 1.6) in Intervention group, where more than 80% answered all questions correctly in each domain. Women in Intervention group had a mean Score of more than 6/8 even when they returned beyond 3 weeks for post test counseling. Despite the intervention, educated women retained the knowledge better than uneducated counterparts. Conclusions: Intervention of key messages reinforcement improved comprehension and retention in knowledge, and sensitized participants for prompt collection of reports. Women with less education would require customized key messages delivery to help them comprehend the information. The 8 point scoring system used in this study can serve as in-house quality check for antenatal counseling in PPTCT clinics.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: In rabies endemic country like India, where every animal bite is potentially suspected as rabid animal bite the treatment should be started immediately. Objective: To study socio demographic profile, delay in seeking treatment and wound treatment at home among the animal bite cases. Method: Records of Animal bite cases from January-June 2016 were analyzed and 155 patients (12.5%) with animal bite were interviewed, after taking their informed verbal consent. Results: Total 1225 cases, 836 (68.2 %) were males and 389(31.8%) were females. Among them 1121 (91.5%) were category II bites and 558(45.6%) patients had missed one or more doses. There was statistically significant association between age groups and the doses missed and between gender and the doses missed. Among the 155 interviewed, 100(64.5%) were males and 55(35.5%) were females. About 90(58%) came to health facility within 24 hours of the bite. About 50 (32.3%) subjects missed to take the dose on scheduled date after taking the first dose. Only 61(39.4%) performed correct wound treatment at home. Association between action taken for wound treatment and gender was statistically significant. Association for delay in taking the next doses after the first dose and age group was statistically highly significant. Conclusion: Most cases of animal bite were dog bite cases. More than half reached the health facility within 24 hours. More than half treated the wound incorrectly at home.

On-line Studies of ESL at Pandemic
Authors: Topuria Ekaterine
Published: November 2021

The article under the headline On-line Studies of ESL at Pandemic, concerns the modern theory of connectivism by George Simens in the pandemic for teaching and learning English as a second language. As the changing world and learning circumstances show the era for fundamental knowledge has come to an end. The informal way for getting information on the issue rather than the knowledge appears to be more important. In the era of information not the existing knowledge matters as the ways for getting the information on the certain topic even then when you know nothing of the issue. The on-line world and technologies give a wonderful possibility for gaining the info from those who already are aware of the matter via the chat or comment on blogs or online articles. The need of informal ways of teaching and getting the information have become serious outcome for mastering the English in an authentic atmosphere and get the very recent information on the topic. Thus, to pass asynchronous way the subject enables the student not only to get the grade but the information with less effort on the issue and make his own English internet community.
ПРОФЕСІЙНА ПІДГОТОВКА СТУДЕНТІВ ДО ХУДОЖНЬО-КОНСТРУКТИВНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ З ДІТЬМИ ДОШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ ЗАСОБАМИ ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ ПРАКТИКИ
Authors: БОРИН Г. В.
Published: November 2021

У статті охарактеризовано особливості професійної підготовки студентів до художньо-конструктивної діяль- ності з дітьми дошкільного віку засобами педагогічної практики. Основну увагу зосереджено на тому, що резуль- тативність означеної підготовки залежить від організації практик у різновікових групах закладу дошкільної освіти. Здійснено аналіз методико-педагогічного аспекту підготовки майбутнього вихователя закладу дошкільної освіти до творчого розвитку дітей засобами художньої праці. Наголошено на тому, що зміст художно-конструктивної підготовки майбутніх педагогів містить такі основні компоненти: інтелектуально-змістовий (сформованість необ- хідних знань із основних і вибіркових навчальних дисциплін щодо роботи з дітьми в означеному руслі); органі- заційно-діяльнісний (сформованість належних умінь і навичок щодо художньо-конструктивної діяльності); цін- нісно-орієнтаційний (сформованість необхідних особистісних якостей, які забезпечують успішність в означеній професійній діяльності); мотиваційно-особистісний (освітні та професійні мотиви, що спонукають до належного засвоєння відповідних знань і набуття умінь та навичок щодо керівництва художньо-конструктивною діяльністю дітей). Чималу увагу зосереджено на тому, що під час підготовки майбутніх педагогів до проходження педагогіч- ної практики в означеному руслі значна роль належить організації освітнього процесу, в якому би студент висту- пав як суб’єкт, котрий усвідомлює цінність художно-конструктивного досвіду та його реалізації на практиці. Таку підготовку слід супроводжувати співвіднесенням індивідуальних можливостей і здібностей майбутнього педагога з вимогами змісту й умовами майбутньої професійної діяльності з погляду успішного її виконання. Неабияке зна- чення має побудова освітнього процесу на основі суб’єкт-суб’єктних відносин викладача зі студентами, що поля- гає у забезпеченні належних умов для реалізації потенційних можливостей майбутнього педагога, формуванні його творчої індивідуальності й особистісного розвитку.
The fish, it’s gone! The koi, I mean. Dislocations, movements, and afterthoughts: how are they expressed in Afrikaans? How do they differ from Dutch?
Authors: Lennox Luané
Published: November 2021

In this presentation, the left and right peripheries of Afrikaans, a West Germanic language indigenous to South Africa, will be examined. The focus of the presentation will be on the various types of constructions associated with the respective peripheries, as well as their underlying information structure and their specific roles in discourse. Afrikaans is a relatively young language, having developed from 17th century Dutch after Dutch settlers formed a colony and trading station at Cape Town in 1652 (Van Huyssteen et al., 2015; van Rensburg, 2019). Therefore, comparisons will be drawn to similar constructions in Dutch to demonstrate how the language has changed over the years yet continues to utilise equivalent constructions despite no longer having access to all the morphological processes of Dutch. Building on the basic assumptions of the Minimalist Programme, this paper draws heavily from Rizzi’s cartographic approach to the left periphery (1997). The Afrikaans-Dutch discussion will be built on de Vries’s series of work on Dutch’s A-bar syntax as well as recent studies on the information structure of the left and right peripheries of Germanic languages (de Vries, 2007, 2009; Kalbertodt et al, 2015; Ott de Vries, 2016).
Folk perceptions of language and creativity: figurative language and play
Authors: Skalicky Stephen
Published: November 2021

The relationship among creativity, humour, and figurative language is often taken for granted, with the assumption that figurative language is naturally also creative and also humorous. This assumption is not necessarily incorrect, as many scholars have drawn theoretical and empirical links among these three phenomena. Regardless of what the researchers say, what do we know about common, folk perceptions of creativity as they relate to figurative language, such as metaphor and sarcasm?

In this seminar, Stephen reports on a study designed to measure these perceptions. Participants provided self-ratings of creativity for their own language when compared to preconstructed responses containing different combinations of figurative language. Results from ordinal regression models demonstrate participants were less likely to selfrate their answers as more creative when comparing their answers to preconstructed responses containing figurative language, but only for specific metaphors or instances of sarcasm. Moreover, participants who made explicit attempts to include figurative language or play in their response were significantly more likely to self-rate their answers as more creative. These results suggest layperson perceptions of creativity are influenced by figurative language and language play, aligning well with the current scholarly literature.

Bioactive principles from the hyroalcoholic (50%) extract of Musa paradisiaca L. stem were isolated and characterized to evaluate antifertility activity in female albino rats. Oral acute toxicity study was done with crude extract for 24h. The hydro alcoholic extract of M. paradisiaca stem was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using gradient solvent system DCM: Eth, Mth: Eth and Mth., ten different fraction were collected. The yield of fraction Mu-HA- Mps was 580 mg, further fractionated for purification by using solvent DCM-MeOH (3:2) to yield compound Mu-HA-Mps (20.22 %w/w). Isolated compound Mu-HA-Mps was subjected to evaluation of its antifertility potential by antiovulatory and estrogenic activity. The isolated compound Mu-HA-Mps was found to exhibit significant antiovulatory and antiestrogenic activity at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight. Isolated compound Mu-HAMps was subjected to structure elucidation by UV, IR, NMR and MASS spectral analytical methods. The results of the present study provide evidence of anti-fertility activity of isolated compound Mu-HA-Mps as claimed in the traditional use. The hydroalcoholic extract of Musa paradisiaca L. furnished a compound whose structure was established as 4’-methoxy-7-hydroxyisoflavone on the basis of physical and spectral basis and could be a good source of drug for birth control.
DOMESTIC APIS AND INTERMEDIATES – THE NEED OF THE HOUR
Authors:   Associate Editor, Indian Drugs., Patani George
Published: November 2021

Dear Reader, As I write this editorial, some of the current events that we are faced with in the pharmaceutical industry in INDIA, bears greatly on my mind. The exponential rise in the cost of a large number of APIs is causing great anguish and stress for formulation manufacturers. The rise in the cost of these APIs or their intermediates sourced from China is attributed as the reason for this increase. As a result, a number of essential drugs are experiencing shortages in various parts of our country. The year 2015 was declared as the year of ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS (APIs) by the Department of Pharmaceuticals. While we still await the announcement of concessions based on the multiple representations made to the various ministries, the current crisis maybe a god sent opportunity for the domestic API manufacturers to restart manufacturing a number of the APIs that were uneconomical due to price pressures from APIs produced in China

The field of Computer Vision is a branch of science of the computers and systems of software in which one can visualize and as well as comprehend the images and scenes given in the input. This field is consisting of numerous aspects for example image recognition, the detection of objects, generation of images, image super-resolution and more others. Object detection is broadly utilized for the detection of faces, the detection of vehicles, counting of pedestrians on a certain street, images displayed on the web, security systems and cars with the feature of self-driving. This process also encompasses the precision of every technique for recognizing the objects. The detection of objects is a crucial task; however, it is also a very challenging vision task. It is an analytical subdivide of various applications such as searching of images, image auto-annotation or scene understanding and tracking of various objects.

Microsurgical vasovasostomy: An option for men with post vasectomy psychological distress
Authors: Elzanaty Saad
Published: November 2021

Vasectomy is a practical and straightforward approach to birth control. This paper presented a 31-year-old patient who desired to restore his fertility five years after being vasectomized. He met several obstacles. He developed severe psychological distress with symptoms of stress, anxiety, and aggression. He underwent microsurgical vasovasostomy, and vassal patency was confirmed by return of spermatozoa in semen samples 6 and 10 weeks after surgery, and symptoms of psychological distress disappeared. Preoperative vasectomy counseling should include information about vasectomy reversal. At the most, vasectomy reversal can be considered in selected men with psychological problems due to vasectomy. Microsurgical training should be offered to more urological surgeons, especially those who are interested in andrology.
Seasonal and continual wind speed modelling for the coastal urban city, Karachi
Authors: SADIQ NAEEM
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT.  Variation in wind speed not only indicates the strengthening or weakening of pressure systems but its role in wind farm in the vicinity of coastal area is also crucial. Probability distributions through time series of wind speed data serves foremost basic need for the said parameters. Exploratory data analysis revealed that for coastal city Karachi, maximum wind speed (~23 m/s) occurred during monsoon with its peak during postmonsoon with maximum deviation (~3.5 m/s). Mean / trimmed mean during spring and postmonsoon (~11.5 m/s) as well as in premonsoon and monsoon (~18.5 m/s) remain almost identical while minimum wind blowing during winter and postmonsoon are also identical (~6 m/s). Autumn and winter exhibits least standard deviations. Critical and statistical values have been compared for distribution modelling, while parametric values of different seasonal and continual distributions are also estimated. The study is supported by cumulative distribution functions and probability-probability plots. It is not uncommon to use Weibull distribution for wind speed modelling. By using daily data time series of wind speed for the coastal station Karachi, it has been explored that widely accepted Weibull distribution provides comparatively poor distribution results when compared to other more complicated models (i.e., Wakeby and generalized extreme value distributions]. It is found that annual and seasonal wind comes after the Wakeby distribution except premonsoon summer which follows the generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) for the city. No continual and / or seasonal wind speed follows the Weibull distribution, ultimately and / or more appropriately. The study may give some new insights for aviation and wind engineering purposes.
Crítica e curadoria como espaços de discussão da arte

Published: November 2021

O discurso da Crítica de Arte no campo das artes visuais não cessou de se transformar ao longo do tempo. Ademais da articulação já consagrada entre Crítica, Estética e História da Arte, ainda hoje, em constante processo de discussão pelos estudiosos da arte, vemos, também agora, a necessidade de pensar a crítica em articulação com outra realidade – a curadoria em sua tarefa de organizar exposições de arte. Este é, ao nosso entender, um lugar fundamental para pensar atualmente a práxis da crítica de arte, seus desafios, sua utilidade, sua especificidade, sua relação com a construção de conhecimento na sociedade contemporânea.

The Bulgarian men’s high school in Thessaloniki from the late 19th – to the early 20th century (A comparative analysis of educational goals and educational documentation).
Authors:   University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria, Arseniev Svetoslav
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on the role and the importance of the Bulgarian language as a foundation of the education process at the Bulgarian St. Cyril and St. Methodius Men’s High School. It discusses the historical factors which had an impact on Bulgarian education in Thessaloniki and studies the establishment and development of the Bulgarian High School in Thessaloniki as well as the role it played in educating teachers for the schools in Macedonia. The analysis focuses on the educational curricula adopted in the mid 1880s and is based on a comparison between the Men’s High School in Thessaloniki – as a representative school beyond the borders of the newly-liberated country – and the high schools in the Principality of Bulgaria. It also outlines the differences in the approaches to determining the number of Bulgarian language classes as well as the specifics of foreign language teaching at the High School in Thessaloniki and those in Bulgaria. Some attention has also been given to the textbooks and handbooks written by teachers from the school.

Published: November 2021

This article aims to bring together the critical voices that have accumulated around the work and the figure of the Slovak author Ján Ondruš. The study focuses on the disputes that have arisen among researchers. The confrontational approaches can be grouped around several issues that emerge from the texts of the Slovak poet. These issues are as follows: rewriting his own literary texts, his “schizoid” and “schizophrenic” conditions in light of which critics write about him, and “the fragmentation” of the lyrical subject in his texts. The article aims to summarize the main problems of writing about the author and his poetry and thus facilitate their potential literary-critical solution.

Authors: Zhang Baiping
Published: November 2021

China has been facing the dangerous dilemma of unbalanced regional development as the world does. With the coming of the two centenary goals, facing the peculiar difficulties and present conditions in Guizhou province, the central government of the People’s Republic of China made and implemented the catching-up strategy in Guizhou province in 2012. This paper regards implementing catching-up strategy in Guizhou province as a social quasi experiment, chooses 15 middle and western provinces or municipalities to compose control group, applies provincial panel data from 1998 to 2017, and uses synthetic control method to acquire a synthetic Guizhou province which is specified as a counterfactual condition of Guizhou after 2011 to study the economic effects of catching-up strategy quantitatively. The conclusion of positive econometric analysis indicates: from 2011 onward when implementing catching-up strategy, Guizhou Province’s growth rate of real GDP is higher than ‘the synthetic Guizhou’ by 1.4 percent to 3.4 percent. The paper asserts that in comparison with the universal strategy of regional development, practicing targeted catching-up strategy aiming at special region could realize surpassing speedily.
Civil Aviation Flight Safety: Pilot Properties Soft Computing
Authors: Plotnikov Nikolai
Published: November 2021

The commercial competition leads to aviation accidents. It forces airlines to reduce the cost of purchasing, leasing, and maintenance of aircraft. The air carrier saves on professional training of personnel, on an arbitrary increase in the workload standards, on the use of flight crews with minimal and untenable experience in chronic fatigue conditions. Theory and methods of the characteristics of specialists remain uncertain. Statistical data and expertise may be piecewise-defined, inaccurate, and inconsistent. To calculate the dependability of flight crews based on workload and experience, it is necessary to establish indicators and values of acceptable accuracy using fuzzy measures. It is proposed soft computing, statistical and expert methods for calculating the properties of a person and social groups in the management of dangerous professions. This makes it possible to calculate the dependability of the pilot properties with an assessment of flight safety risk levels for making management decisions. The results of the work are new standards for the workload of flight crews recommended for civil aviation. Results are obtained in qualitative methods for calculating efficiency, security, and risk states in the management of organizational objects as airlines. We obtained indicators for air transport risk management standards and decision-making tools. Calculated indicators of pilot dependability values are a model for developing the airline's strategy, for quantitative assessments of flight specialists, standardizing professional activities, and managing training costs.

Published: November 2021

An onboard monitoring system can measure features such as stress cycles counts and provide warnings due to slamming. Considering current technology trends there is the opportunity of incorporating machine learning methods into monitoring systems. A hull monitoring system has been developed and installed on a 111 m wave piercing catamaran (Hull 091) to remotely monitor the ship kinematics and hull structural responses. Parallel to that, an existing dataset of a similar vessel (Hull 061) was analysed using unsupervised and supervised learning models; these were found to be beneficial for the classification of bow entry events according to key kinematic parameters. A comparison of different algorithms including linear support vector machines, naïve Bayes and decision tree for the bow entry classification were conducted. In addition, using empirical probability distributions, the likelihood of wet-deck slamming was estimated given a vertical bow acceleration threshold of 1  in head seas, clustering the feature space with the approximate probabilities of 0.001, 0.030 and 0.25.
Leader Follower Formation Control for Underwater Transportation Using Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Authors: Rehman F U , Anderlini E , Thomas G
Published: November 2021

The successful ability to conduct underwater transportation using multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is important for the commercial sector to undertake precise underwater installations on large modules, whilst for the military sector it has the added advantage of improved secrecy for clandestine operations. The technical requirements are the stability of the payload and internal collision avoidance while keeping track of the desired trajectory considering the underwater effects. Here, a leader-follower formation control strategy was developed and implemented on the transportation system of AUVs. PID controllers were used for the vehicles and a linear feedback controller for maintaining the formation. A Kalman Filter (KF) was designed to estimate the full state of the leader under disturbance, noise and limited sensor readings. The results demonstrate that though the technical requirements are met, the thrust oscillations under disturbance and noise produce the undesired heading angles.
The Album De Colbert: The Image of Shipbuilding
Authors: Corradi M
Published: November 2021

The Album de Colbert compiled by an anonymous author in the second half of the seventeenth century is among the most important illustrated testimonies of the art of shipbuilding. Probably commissioned by Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Minister of Finance and Minister of the Navy of the kingdom of France, the Album was composed to make Louis XIV understand the complexity of shipbuilding. It was also made to support the creation of a navy with the ambition of being competitive with the Royal Navy and with the intent of modernising and expanding the French shipbuilding industry. The fifty plates that make up this illustrated treatise unravel the story of the construction of a first-rank 80-gun line vessel, from the laying of the keel to the launch. It is a unique document that has no contemporaries or precursors because it is not a didactic collection of boats, like the previous treaties that had a completely different methodological approach, more technical-descriptive than illustrative, but it wants to go beyond the scientific treatise. Its purpose was instead to measure itself with representation, showing through the strength of drawing and images the peculiar aspects of the reality of shipbuilding, using iconography as a means of transmitting knowledge related to the world of shipyards and shipbuilding in the 17th century.
Weighted Module Linear Regression Classifications for Partially-Occluded Face Recognition

Published: November 2021

Face images with partially-occluded areas create huge deteriorated problems for face recognition systems. Linear regression classification (LRC) is a simple and powerful approach for face recognition, of course, it cannot perform well under occlusion situations as well. By segmenting the face image into small subfaces, called modules, the LRC system could achieve some improvements by selecting the best non-occluded module for face classification. However, the recognition performance will be deteriorated due to the usage of the module, a small portion of the face image. We could further enhance the performance if we can properly identify the occluded modules and utilize all the non-occluded modules as many as possible. In this chapter, we first analyze the texture histogram (TH) of the module and then use the HT difference to measure its occlusion tendency. Thus, based on TH difference, we suggest a general concept of the weighted module face recognition to solve the occlusion problem. Thus, the weighted module linear regression classification method, called WMLRC-TH, is proposed for partially-occluded fact recognition. To evaluate the performances, the proposed WMLRC-TH method, which is tested on AR and FRGC2.0 face databases with several synthesized occlusions, is compared to the well-known face recognition methods and other robust face recognition methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the best performance for recognize occluded faces. Due to its simplicity in both training and testing phases, a face recognition system based on the WMLRC-TH method is realized on Android phones for fast recognition of occluded faces.
