INCREASING THE RIGIDITY OF THE SELF-CENTERING DEVICES OF LATHES
Authors: Seregin A. , Nikitina I. , Krylova S.
Published: March 2021

Increasing the rigidity of universal self-centering devices is one of the topical trends in the design of machine tooling. Calculation of the load distribution between the turns and teeth of a spiral rack and pinion mechanism is a complex engineering problem. When working on the article, it was revealed that an adjacent pair of turns and teeth that are in engagement does not always coincide with a geometrical adjacent pair due to the error in the execution of turns and teeth along the pitch and profile. This is based on experimental data and the proposition that errors in the pitch and profile of the spiral determine the nature of the working pressures in the engagement of the turns and teeth. The article discusses technical solutions in which the rigidity of self-centering devices increases without significant structural changes due to the establishment of the correspondence of the algorithm for changing the elastic properties of parts of the spiral-rack mechanism to the algorithm for changing the load between the bearing elements. Constructive solutions based on the implementation of elastic displacement of the first most loaded turn are proposed, which allows to reduce the interference between the tooth of the cam rack and the turn of the disk spiral. This circumstance contributes to the redistribution of the load in the engagement of the bearing elements of the spiral-rack mechanism. The tests of the developed structures were carried out, which gave positive results.
Language Learning Strategies Used in English Writing by Thai Undergraduate Students
Authors: Pongsukvajchakul Patsara
Published: March 2021

This research investigated language learning strategies used in English writing by 100 Thai undergraduate students. It analyzed differences in the use of language learning strategies in English writing in the second semester of the 2019 academic year at Kasetsart University in Chonburi, Thailand. The research instrument was a 50-item questionnaire adapted from Oxford’s strategy inventory for language learning (SILL). Data on language learning strategies used in English writing were examined using descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, percentage and standard deviation). Differences in the use of language learning strategies in English writing were analyzed by t-test and F-test. The results indicated that primarily, students used social strategies, followed by memory strategies, compensatory strategies, metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies and affective strategies in English writing, respectively. Significant differences in the use of language learning strategies in English writing were found on students’ field of study, year of study and writing frequency, except gender, age and English point.

Authors: Bhat Bilal Ahmad
Published: March 2021

India, one of the fast growing and developing nations of the world, is doing well in growth, but it is not up to the mark in some fields. In science and technology, it is doing at par with other developed nations, and markable achievements are being touched. But in health or human growth, most of the population is not clear about the importance of health and human potentials. Many portions of the population are not aware of the positive aspects of human beings that can help them to flourish. The study has been done to find the psychological well-being of academic achievement and gender. For the study, a sample of 519 senior secondary school students from different senior secondary schools of Kulgam and Anantnag districts of Kashmir valley were selected. The sample was drawn by using a multi-stage stratified sampling technique. The tools of data collection were Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) developed by Dr. Devendra Singh Sisodia and Ms. Pooja Choudhary (2012) and academic achievement as the marks obtained by senior secondary school students in the board examination conducted by JKBOSE. The data obtained from these students were then analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques with the help of SPSS version 22. The paper also makes some suggestions, keeping the findings of the study in mind to enhance the psychological well-being of our budding human resource.

After the earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction on 28 September 2018, the condition of the five-story building was damaged, but it is still inhabited by dozens of families. This paper seeks to explore the attitude of the Palu City Government-Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), residents, and parties outside the government and outside the residents regarding the use of these flats after the earthquake. The research was conducted qualitatively. Primary data were collected from direct observation and interviews and sources of mass media coverage also complement the secondary data needs. Borrowing Robert K Merton's structural functionalism theory, this research finds a condition if after a disaster, residents strengthen their institutions by building consensus or mutual agreement. Meanwhile, the City Government of Palu, although stated that they prohibited them from returning to the apartment, they have not been able to provide a more feasible housing solution after the earthquake. Ironically, members of the DPRD, as partners of the mayor in the government in Palu City, do not yet know about this condition.

Published: March 2021

Adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare inammatory disease characterized by fever, arthralgia, rash, sore throat, lymphadenopathy,
hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly. It is a rare cause of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) and should be considered once the more common
infectious, rheumatological and malignant causes have been excluded. This is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. Yamaguchi criteria can be used for
diagnosis. Patients of AOSD show an excellent response to Non-steroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSAIDs), however some may not have a
sustained effect, in which case glucocorticoids have to be considered. Here’s a case of a young male patient who was evaluated for the cause of
pyrexia of unknown origin.
Interior Void Classification in Liquid Metal using Multi-Frequency Magnetic Induction Tomography with a Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Muttakin Imamul , Soleimani Manuchehr
Published: March 2021

Identification of gas
bubble, void detection and porosity estimation are important factors in many
liquid metal processes. In steel casting, the importance of flow condition and
phase distribution in crucial parts, such as submerged entry nozzle (SEN) and
mould raises the needs to observe the phenomena. Cross-section of flow shapes
can be visualised using the magnetic induction tomography (MIT) technique.
However, the inversion procedure in the image reconstruction has either limited
resolution or complex computation degrading its real-time capability.
Additionally, in some cases, the actual image may not be essential whereas the
void fraction or porosity needs to be estimated. This work proposes an interior
void classifier based on multi-frequency mutual induction measurements with
eutectic alloy GaInSn as a cold liquid metal model contained in a 3D printed
plastic miniature of an SEN. The sensors consist of eight coils arranged in a
circle encapsulating the column, providing combinatorial detection on
conductive surface and depth. The datasets are induced voltage collections of
several non-metallic inclusions (NMI) patterns in liquid metal static test and
used to train a machine learning model. The model architectures are a fully
connected neural network (FCNN) for 1D; and a convolutional neural network
(CNN) for 2D data. The classifier using 1D data has been trained to
approximately 86% accuracy on this dataset. CNN classification using
multi-dimensional data with more classes produces 96% of test accuracy. Refined
with representative flow scenarios, the trained model could be deployed for an
intelligent online control system of the liquid metal process.

The study examined perception of Accounting Educators and Practitioners towards the practices of creative accounting. The study adopted descriptive research of a survey type. The population of the study comprises 187 Accounting Educators (academic staff) and practitioners at Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti and Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti. The sample of the study was 60 respondents selected using a purposive random sampling technique. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Face validity of the instrument was ensured by the experts in the Department of Accounting. The reliability of the instrument was determined through a pilot-test conducted on the instrument. The reliability coefficient of 0.85 was obtained using the Cronbach alpha coefficient. The research questions were answered using mean scores and standard deviation and ANOVA test was used to test the hypotheses formulated at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that practices of creative accounting affect all the characteristics of accounting information as well as users' investment decisions and the integrity of the practitioners. In conclusion, accounting educators and practitioners indicated that creative accounting negatively affect the accounting information and the profession. Therefore, the study recommended that accounting bodies should take strict measures to curb creative accounting practices among accounting practitioners, to restore integrity and users' confidence in accounting information. Also, a monitoring group should be in place to check the draft of accounting information prepared by any organization this would be required to prepare a financial statement before being finally published for public consumption.

Published: March 2021

Nuestra línea de investigación en 17 años, ha sido la Calidad Total y sus problemáticas en Pymes de Córdoba. Hasta ahora, no habíamos estudiado el concepto de Calidad de Vida Laboral (CVL). Este proyecto forma parte de uno mayor que integra el Programa Retos Poblacionales Actuales, donde hemos incluido la CVL, pues entendemos que un reto poblacional actual es estudiar los factores que la afectan: desempleo, subempleo, precarización laboral, crisis económica, cuestiones de género que no han sido superadas en años, preconceptos sobre la menor capacidad de decisión femenina frente a la masculina, entre otros. En estos últimos meses, un factor adicional, impensado y grave, como es la cuarentena por el Covid-19, ha venido a complejizar aún más el trabajo de las personas y por ende a este concepto. El estudio de la CVL es un campo joven, donde los autores no acuerdan idénticas dimensiones y variables para su medición. Como primera etapa, hemos comparado estudios actualizados y agregamos factores por impacto de la Calidad Total y de la cuarentena por Covid-19, para construir un modelo superador útil para la toma de decisiones y un cuestionario, el que hemos probado en algunas organizaciones.

Published: March 2021

Two types of fullerene C60 water dispersions were investigated by a small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. As a result, structural parameters of fullerene aggregates were obtained. The water dispersions were obtained by the solvent-exchange technique and by huge dilution of initial C60/Nmethylpyrrolidone solution. The structure organization of water dispersions is considered in respect to their technique preparation. It was shown that fullerene aggregates were characterized by highly polydispersity in size for all dispersions. In the case of son/nC60 dispersion it was found that fullerenes formed aggregates with a dense nucleus (namely a surface fractal) with a radius of 58 ± 1 nm and a fractal dimension of 2.3. In turn, the nmp/nC60 system was characterized by the branched aggregates with fractal dimension 1.5 and bimodal particle size distribution.
СASPIAN SEA: ASPECTS OF SUBSOIL USE AND GEOPOLITICAL ISSUES
Authors: Akhmadiyev A. K. , Brylov D. S.
Published: March 2021

Consideration of the issue of the legal status of the Caspian Sea seems very relevant both from the social and political point of view and from the point of view of the organization of subsoil use. Today, the Caspian hydrocarbon reserves are estimated at about 3% of the total world reserves, which makes this region a place of attraction for many subsoil users, as well as a place of clash of private and public, as well as interstate interests. It is the study of interrelations and mutual influences of socio-economic and mineral components in this region that is most important for understanding the system of relations in the region and their forecasts. The aim is to analyze retrospectively the formation of common rules of relations in the Caspian region and determine the role of the mineral factor in them. The basis for writing the article was a review and comparison of publicly available domestic and foreign literary sources concerning both the question of the right status of the Caspian Sea and the features of subsoil use in the Caspian Sea, as well as a critical analysis of regulations. The sources were sampled taking into account the time period from 2000 to 2020. Among the features of subsoil use in the Caspian Sea were identified and described physical-geographical, primarily climatic, geological, engineering-geological and ecological features. When considering the chronology of the solution of the «Caspian issue», close attention was paid to the characteristics of the Caspian summits and the main events associated with the intensification of subsoil use in the Caspian Sea. In particular, the events related to the laying of oil pipelines by Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, the participation of large energy companies in the development of fields, the contradictions that have arisen between countries on the basis of subsoil use were considered. In addition, the key provisions of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea adopted in 2018 were considered. The main thing that the retrospective analysis has shown is that the role of the mineral factor in the formation of relations in the Caspian region is enormous. It can be considered one of the main reasons for long, hesitant steps (which took more than 20 years) on the way to solving the issue of the legal status of the Caspian Sea. At the same time, it should be recognized that even the adopted Convention on the legal status of the Caspian Sea has not been able to fully resolve the problem of subsoil use in this region, which gives an impulse to search for new ideas in solving this problem

Factors Influencing the Outcome of Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Patients With Five or More Brain Metastases
Authors: Hamel-Perreault E. , Mathieu D. , Masson-Cote L.
Published: March 2021

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for patients with 5 or more brain metastases (BMets) is a matter of debate. We report our results with that approach and the factors influencing outcome. Methods: In the 103 patients who underwent SRS for the treatment of 5 or more BMets, primary histology was non-small-cell lung cancer (57% of patients). All patients were grouped by Karnofsky performance status and recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) classification. In our cohort, 72% of patients had uncontrolled extracranial disease, and 28% had stable or responding systemic disease. Previous irradiation for 1–4 BMets had been given to 56 patients (54%). The mean number of treated BMets was 7 (range: 5–19), and the median cumulative BMets volume was 2 cm3 (range: 0.06–28 cm3). Results: Multivariate analyses showed that stable extracranial disease (p < 0.001) and RPA (p = 0.022) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Moreover, a cumulative treated BMets volume of less than 6 cm3 (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.54; p = 0.006; 95% confidence interval: 1.30 to 4.99) was associated with better OS. The total number of BMets had no effect on survival (p = 0.206). No variable was found to be predictive of local control. The RPA was significant (p = 0.027) in terms of distant recurrence. Conclusions: Our study suggests that SRS is a reasonable option for the management of patients with 5 or more BMets, especially with a cumulative treatment volume of less than 6 cm3.
Update on Systemic Therapy for Advanced Soft-Tissue Sarcoma
Authors: Smrke A. , Wang Y. , Simmons C.
Published: March 2021

Background: Soft-tissue sarcoma (sts) represents a rare group of mesenchymal neoplasms comprising more than 50 heterogeneous subtypes. Great efforts have been made to increase the understanding of the treatment of advanced sts (unresectable or metastatic disease). We set out to determine whether outcomes for patients with advanced sts have improved over time and to assess the current evidence for systemic therapy. Methods: In a scoping review, we evaluated the contemporary evidence for systemic treatment of advanced sts in adults (>18 years of age). Phase i, ii, and iii studies of systemic therapy for advanced sts published in the English language were included. After abstract and full-text review of seventy-seven studies, sixty-two trials met the inclusion criteria. Results: The number of clinical trials conducted and published in advanced sts has increased over the last 30 years. Although median overall survival has increased, attempts at improving first-line therapy through dose intensification, doublet chemotherapy, or alternative backbones have not been successful. The optimal therapy beyond anthracyclines remains a challenge, especially given the heterogeneity that grouping multiple sts subtypes within clinical trials creates. However, increasing numbers of agents are being studied, and several studies had shown isolated benefit in progression-free or overall survival. Summary: First-line systemic therapy with an anthracycline remains the standard of care for advanced sts. However, choice of subsequent therapy beyond anthracyclines remains challenging. Novel systemic therapies, use of molecular diagnostics to direct therapy, subtype-specific trials, and learnings from real-world retrospective data are all important for improving outcomes in patients with advanced sts.
The Importance of Humour in Oncology: A Survey of Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy

Published: March 2021

Background: Humour has long been considered an important coping tool for patients with cancer, but published quantitative data about its significance are limited. The purpose of our study was to survey patients with cancer undergoing radiotherapy regarding their opinions about the use of humour in their care. Methods: An anonymous 35-item questionnaire evaluating the patient experience, including the value of humour, was developed by an interdisciplinary team of health care providers (HCPS) working within the Radiation Medicine program. This anonymous, voluntary, paper-based survey for self-completion required approximately 10 minutes to finish and was administered during the fall of 2018 and the spring of 2019. Results: For the 199 patients who completed the survey [108 women, 89 men (2 respondents did not specify)], median age was 68 years. That group represents approximately 30%–35% of the patients on treatment during the study period. Almost all respondents (86%) indicated that, during their visits to the cancer centre, it was “somewhat important” or “very important” for health care providers (HCPS) to use appropriate humour, and 61% of respondents indicated using humour “frequently” or “always” when dealing with their individual cancers. Most respondents (79%) said that humour decreased anxiety, and 86% indicated that laughing was considered “somewhat important” or “very important.” Approximately 4% of respondents even listed “sense of humour” as being the most important quality that they looked for in their interactions with their HCPS. Conclusions: Cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy clearly view humour as being important for coping and dealing with their disease, and oncology HCPS should routinely consider incorporating the use of appropriate humour into the care that they provide.

Authors: Seung S.J. , Hurry M. , Walton R.N. , Evans W.K.
Published: March 2021

Background: The management of unresectable stage iii non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is complex and best determined through multidisciplinary consultation. A longitudinal, population-level study was carried out to describe the management approach and outcomes of treatment in the real-world setting in Ontario. Methods: Individuals diagnosed with nsclc between 1 April 2010 and 31 March 2015 were identified in the Ontario Cancer Registry. Unresectable disease was defined as no surgery reported within 3 months of diagnosis. Initial treatments included radiotherapy (RT, curative or palliative), chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemoradiation [CRT, concurrent (cCRT) or sequential (sCRT)]. Survival was calculated from diagnosis with stage III disease to death or last follow-up. Results: Of the 24,729 individuals diagnosed with nsclc, 5243 (21.2%) had stage iii disease, with most of the latter group (4542, 86.6%) having unresectable disease. Median age was 70 years, and 54.2% were men. The frequency of first-line treatment was cCRT, 22.1%; palliative rt, 21.0%; curative rt, 19.6%; no treatment, 19.6%; chemotherapy alone, 11.6%; sCRT, 5.4%; and targeted therapy, 0.7%. Median overall survival (mOS) was 14.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 13.6 months to 14.7 months], with the longest survival observed in patients who received targeted therapy (mOS: 34.7 months; 95% CI: 21.4 months to 51.2 months), and the poorest, in those receiving no cancer treatment (mOS: 5.9 months; 95% CI: 5.0 months to 6.4 months). The mOS in patients receiving cCRT was 23.6 months (95% CI: 21.4 months to 25.6 months). Conclusions: Guideline-recommended cCRT is undertaken in only a small proportion of patients with unresectable NSCLC in Ontario. The reasons for low uptake of that recommendation are only partly understood.
Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Wait Times in Specialized Diagnostic Units Compared with Usual Care: A Population-Based Study
Authors: Webber C. , Whitehead M. , Eisen A. , Holloway C.M.B. , Groome P.A.
Published: March 2021

Background：Breast assessment sites (bass) were developed to provide expedited and coordinated care for patients being evaluated for breast cancer (bca) in Ontario. We compared the diagnostic and treatment intervals for patients diagnosed at a bas and for those diagnosed through a usual care (uc) route. Methods: This population-based, cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed with bca in Ontario during 2007–2015 used linked administrative data. “Diagnostic interval” was the time from the earliest cancer-related health care encounter before diagnosis to diagnosis; “treatment interval” was the time from diagnosis to treatment. Diagnosis at a (bas was determined from the patient’s biopsy and mammography institutions. Interval lengths for the (bas and uc groups were compared using multivariable quantile regression, stratified by detection method. Results: The diagnostic interval was shorter for patients who were (bas-diagnosed than for those who were uc-diagnosed, with adjusted median differences of −4.0 days [95% confidence interval (ci): −3.2 days to −4.9 days] for symptomatic patients and −5.4 days (95% ci: −4.7 days to −6.1 days) for screen-detected patients. That association was modified by stage at diagnosis, with larger differences in patients with early-stage cancers. In contrast, the treatment interval was longer in patients who were (bas-diagnosed than in those who were uc-diagnosed, with adjusted median differences of 4.2 days (95% ci: 3.8 days to 4.7 days) for symptomatic patients and 4.2 days (95% ci: 3.7 days to 4.8 days) for screen-detected patients. Conclusions: Diagnosis of bca through a (bas was associated with a shorter diagnostic interval, but a longer treatment interval. Although efficiencies in the diagnostic interval might help to reduce distress experienced by patients, the longer treatment intervals for patients who are (bas-diagnosed remain a cause for concern.
Pharmacoeconomic analysis of the choice of antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia by physicians and final year medical students
Authors: Deriushkin V. G. , Gatsura S. V.
Published: March 2021

The authors of the article conduct a pharmacoeconomic analysis of antimicrobial agents (AMA) prescriptions based on a survey of graduates of the medical faculty of a medical university and outpatient healthcare practitioners in Moscow. In addition to the pharmacoepidemiological part, the article also contains a pharmacoeconomic aspect to obtain a more complete picture, reflecting the choice of drugs not only in primary healthcare, but also among graduates of the medical faculty, who can potentially become its members without preliminary training in medical residency.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative pharmacoeconomic analysis of the AMA choice in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia based on the data of a survey of general practitioners, district physicians and graduates of the medical faculty.

Methodology. The 206 physicians took part in the anonymous voluntary survey.

Results. 177 (85.9 %) of surveyed doctors were women and 62 (14.1 %) were men who made up Group 1. The average age of the surveyed doctors was 47.8±13.3 years, the average medical experience was 21.4±13.4 years. Group 2 consisted of 240 students, of which 178 were women (74.17 %) and 62 were men (25.83 %). The average age of the respondents in the group 2 was 24.8±3.3 years. When calculating the average cost of a treatment course of community-acquired pneumonia, depending on the structure of prescriptions, the value in Group 1 amounted to 420.82 rubles and 367.44 rubles in Group 2, while the share of costs for aminopenicillin drugs directly recommended for prescription to treat community-acquired pneumonia amounted to 8.35 and 4.97 %, respectively. Despite the current recommendations, respondents prefer to choose second-line AMAs, which are more expensive drugs. Respondents in both groups underestimate the first-line drugs that meet the current recommendations, namely aminopenicillins. Despite their low cost and ease of use in an outpatient setting, the frequency of their prescription remains low. The authors believe that more attention should be paid to the problem of rational use of antimicrobial agents. This problem can be solved through educational interventions at all levels of education, which can change the picture of drugs prescriptions in future, will allow practitioners and graduates of medical faculties to refer more often to clinical guidelines and patient treatment protocols. Comprehensive measures in this direction can not only positively affect the quality of medical care, but also reduce antibiotic resistance in the outpatient setting.

Open-air museums have been a part of the European museology for about one and a half century and it has been an architectural object that has been the main and defining element of this type of museum since the beginning. However, the importance of the buildings varies not only with the specific state of the society and of the relevant field, but also with the current state of museum institutions. Accordingly, the approach to the very matter of buildings and their craftsmanship is also varying. Possible reconstructive construction works are influenced not so much by finances as by the insufficient methodological base, the lack of qualified museum specialists, and especially by the lack of quality craftsmen. The importance of buildings is also determined by the primary mission of the open-air museums, which are ideally a comprehensive reconstruction of the historic environment, where the building can become, despite its importance, only one of the elements. It is on the construction objects where a number of values are preserved, represented by specific details both on the material and intangible (technological) level. Very important is also the role of an open-air museum as a model, an authority for many private owners of the heritage monuments.
