Kamil Kilani’s Adaptation of Shakespeare in Arabic Children’s Literature: Acculturation Versus Enculturation
Authors: Omar Lamis Ismail
Published: December 2021

Children’s literature is a young literary genre which is guided by a complex set of motivational, cognitive and metacognitive considerations. In the Arab world, children’s literature emerged in tandem with the modern translation movement but has started to prosper as an independent literary form only recently. Translating for children is an arduous task with myriad challenges on the linguistic, sociocultural and educational levels. This paper aims to research Kamil Kilani’s Arabic adaptation of King Lear as a model to translate for children. Kilani’s translations are significant because they are adapted in a way which responds to the needs of children without simplifying the lexical and stylistic components of the source texts or compromising their cultural content. The paper adopts a descriptive methodology supporting the main argument with comparative examples from the source text and the target text. The analysis shows that Kilani’s adaptation revolutionized the source text’s form and structure, while preserving its conceptual content, language level and style exquisitely. The results suggest that translating for children does not have to embrace cultural adaptation strategies and can instead embrace a model of acculturation between the source text cultural content and the target text readers.

Published: December 2021

Preparing good and skillful human resources in language learning is avoidable, particularly for the country like Indonesia which is still a developing one. The intent of this qualitative study in the case study tradition was used to explore what the academic factors that made EFL student teachers as future human resources feel stressed in English language learning at one public university in Jambi, Sumatra, Indonesia. We adopted a qualitative case study approach. Using a convenience case strategy, we interviewed EFL student teachers. The primary data for our study were collected through the face-to-face interviews. The interviews were conducted in English, audio-taped, and directly transcribed verbatim. The interviews data were analyzed through reading line by line all the transcriptions to find major themes. We found eight salient and interweaved themes led EFL student teachers as future human resources feel stressed in English language learning  including (1) internal and external factors of choosing English as a major,(2) pleasure and displeasure feeling in studying English in university, (3) positive and negative responses to the lecturers in studying English, (4) positive and negative influences of friends in English major, (5) feeling about academic activities (credits, assignments, subjects and examinations) (6) feeling about discussion or presentations, (7) the most pressure or stress issue during the learning processes, and (8) dealing  with the stressors. The findings of this study shed light on our understanding of the academic factors that made EFL student teachers as future human resources feel stressed in English language learning.
An Interpretation of the Play After the Fall Based on Role- and -Value Cognitive Concept
Authors: Fang Ying
Published: December 2021

The paper aims to interpret Arthur Miller’s stream-of-consciousness play text, After the Fall, from the perspective of the cognitive concept of evolving reference, namely “role and values”. The results of the study are as follows: 1. Mutual across-time-and-space contextual embedment or entanglement is the distinctive feature of stream-of-consciousness play text, which makes it possible to present synchronically what has happened diachronically, so that the various values generated by role switching over the past years are accessible in a while. 2. This feature in turn makes characterization more natural, true-to-life, vivid and substantial, revealing not only the different aspects of the protagonist’s disposition but also the shaping process involved. 3. Despite the seemingly disordered contextual entanglement, the values through role switching are implicitly linked by the cause-effect logical relationship, which ensures the textual coherence of the play.

Published: December 2021

El Parque Cueva de los Guácharos fue el primer parque nacional declarado en Colombia y, a pesar de su estratégica ubicación, poco se ha publicado sobre la biodiversidad del parque. Este estudio exploró la diversidad de los ensamblajes de aves en diferentes tipos de bosques (andinos, subandinos mixtos y subandinos de roble negro) y el estado de sucesión, que incluye bosques subandinos primarios y secundarios. Para ello, se realizaron puntos de conteo a lo largo de transectos, durante 382 días, entre los años 2005 y 2009. En este muestreo se reportan 202 especies de aves, representando 39 familias. Las comunidades de aves de los bosques subandinos presentaron mayor diversidad y similitud entre sí, independiente de su estado sucesional. La composición fue diferente en los bosques andinos (dominados por roble blanco, Quercus humboldtii) y de roble negro (dominados por Colombobalanus excelsa, Wettinia fascicularis y Motudaea colombiana). Por ejemplo, la especie dominante en los bosques andinos fue Colaptes rivolii y en los bosques de roble negro fue Zimmerius chrysops. Para los bosques subandinos, tanto primarios como secundarios, se compartieron varias especies en la lista de las más frecuentes: Henicorhina leucophrys, Rupicola peruvianus, Ocreatus underwoodii, Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster y Cyanocorax yncas. Este estudio resalta la alta diversidad de los bosques subandinos, incluyendo bosques secundarios cercanos a bosques primarios protegidos. Esperamos que este trabajo sirva de base para el monitoreo futuro de comunidades de avifauna en el parque.

Published: December 2021

This article presents the investigation, analysis, and results of the intake gate closure of two vertical fixed-wheel gates at the hydroelectric project Ituango in Colombia (2400 MW) under free- flow conditions. This atypical operation was considered successful notwithstanding adverse conditions, and therefore, it can be classified as a unique operation in the field of hydraulic gates. In this article, some relevant parameters, such as the hydraulic force of the servomotor during the operation of the gate, were measured before and after the operation and analyzed, and the results were presented. A new chart is proposed for the downpull coefficient based on the collected data, which could be implemented in the closure of gates against the free flow. Considering the abovementioned factors, the authors propose some recommendations and present drawn conclusions contributing to state of the art on design, manufacturing, and operation of this type of hydraulic gates and structures for large and small dams under adverse and extreme conditions.
An Analysis and Commentary on Riddah in Malaysia
Authors: Ong Guan Boon , Rosli Zuhair
Published: December 2021

Riddah originally from the Arabic language Al-Riddah means apostasy while in Malaysia it is commonly referred to as murtad. Riddah is part of the hudud offences whereby the punishments are clearly spelt out by Al-Quran and Hadith which cannot be added and deducted, or altered because it has been determined by Allah. For riddah, most of the Islamists jurists hold on to ahad hadith (a single hadith) which is still disputed as a basis of law but most of them agreed that only when an apostate act against Islam then he or she must be killed. In the practical aspect, application of Islamic law in Malaysia is predominantly derived from statute and even for the riddah punishment the Syariah Court can only impose a punishment not more than 3 years of imprisonment, fine not more than RM5,000 and whipping not more than 6 strokes which is in stark contrast with the punishment agreed upon by Islamists jurists. Apart from this sentencing power, other issues surrounding riddah will be discussed in depth in this article with the aim to find the best practise which is acceptable for the whole of Malaysia.
Orang Asli di Kawasan Lindungan: Kedudukannya dari Segi Perundangan di Malaysia
Authors: Azaldin Nur Aqilah , Wook Izawati , Yaakob Adzidah
Published: December 2021

Litupan hutan hujan tropika di Malaysia kebanyakannya telah diwartakan sebagai kawasan lindungan. Kawasan lindungan yang dimaksudkan adalah seperti rizab hutan simpan, rizab lindungan hidupan liar, taman negara dan taman negeri yang sangat kaya dengan pelbagai spesis flora dan fauna. Orang Asli yang menghuni sebahagian dari kawasan lindungan ini amat bergantung kepada kelangsungan sumber hutan. Artikel ini menganalisis kedudukan Orang Asli di dalam kawasan lindungan dari segi perundangan serta mengkaji isu-isu berbangkit yang melibatkan Orang Asli di kawasan lindungan di Malaysia. Metodologi yang digunapakai bagi tujuan penulisan ini adalah kaedah doktrinal undang-undang dan kajian teks iaitu dengan meneliti undang-undang statut berkaitan serta kajian-kajian terdahulu berkenaan kedudukan dan hak Orang Asli di dalam kawasan lindungan.Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat perundangan yang digubal memperuntukkan hak kepenggunaan masyarakat Orang Asli terhadap alam semulajadi di kawasan itu disebabkan oleh kebergantungan masyarakat ini terhadap sumber semulajadi dari kawasan lindungan. Namun begitu, kebanyakan perundangan yang digubal tidak mengiktiraf secara eksplisit akan kedudukan masyarakat Orang Asli di dalam kawasan lindungan tersebut. Peruntukan ini juga bahkan mengehadkan dan mengurangkan hak penggunaan masyarakat tersebut tanpa mencadangkan atau mendatangkan satu alternatif yang lain bagi membantu mereka. Terdapat juga kemungkinan perundangan tersebut dibuat tanpa mengambil kira pandangan dari pihak yang berkepentingan. Kelemahan dalam mengiktiraf kedudukan dan hak masyarakat Orang Asli di kawasan lindungan hakikatnya menyumbang kepada kegagalan sistem pemuliharaan dan pemeliharaan biodiversiti. Hal ini kerana proses pemeliharaan dan pemuliharaan alam semulajadi tidak dapat tidak harus melibatkan masyarakat Orang Asli.
The Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons in Nigeria: Corruption a Major Challenge
Authors: Malami Salisu , Abdullah Nor Anita , Mohamed Yusoff Zuryati
Published: December 2021

The proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) is gradually and perilously becoming a transnational organized crime. In Nigeria, this peril assumed its delicate stage with incessant killings by Boko Haram insurgents, herdsmen-farmers clashes, kidnappings, communal and religious crisis, and armed robbery. The drift of this threat is the availability of weapons that are trafficked through Nigeria’s porous borders. Regulating the proliferation of small arms and light weapons has been challenged by several factors such as border porosity, inadequate personnel, lack of equipment, lack of data, weak enforcement, stockpile management, local arms manufacturers. Corruption takes center stage and is the focus of this paper. Corruption directly or indirectly is related to other challenges. The paper recommends that corruption must be addressed if all legal and institutional measures for border security and curtailing the spread of weapons in Nigeria are to achieve their objectives.
Estimation of the Accuracy of a Control System with a Fuzzy PID Controller Based on the Approximation of the Static Characteristic of the Controller
Authors: Bykovtsev Y. A. , Lokhin V. M.
Published: December 2021

The problem of estimating the accuracy of an automatic control system with a fuzzy PID controller is solved. To describe a fuzzy controller, its static characteristic is used, which is approximated by two piecewise-linear and one piecewise-constant sections. This approach makes it possible to study the system as a linear one at each section of the approximated characteristic, and accordingly develop the calculation methods known in control engineering, taking into account the features of the system under consideration. In the article, to calculate the error in the steady state, the theorem on the final value of the original is used. For two different types of second-order control objects — static and astatic — on the basis of this theorem, analytical expressions are obtained that relate the accuracy of the control system with the values of the target and disturbance with a different structure of the controller (P-, PI-, PD-). When conducting experimental studies, the fuzzy PID controller was compared with a linear one tuned by the method of the maximum stability. Research results show that a fuzzy controller ensures the accuracy of the control system is not worse than a linear one, while increasing the dynamics of the system. The analytical expressions presented in the article make it possible to assess the accuracy of a control system with a fuzzy controller and can be used as a technique for adjusting the controller based on the accuracy requirements.
Nonparametric Method for Predicting the Trajectory of an Actively Maneuvering Vessel for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Landing
Authors: Kosyanchuk V. V. , Zybin E. Yu. , Glasov V. V. , Tan L.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the development of algorithms for predicting the trajectory of maneuvering objects based on nonparametric systems theory. The analysis of uncertainties affecting the modeling of the movement maneuvering water objects is presented. An overview of parametric, nonparametric and combined methods for predicting maneuvering water objects trajectory is given. The problem of high-precision autonomous control of the landing unmanned aerial vehicles on the landing vessel in the conditions of its irregular movement caused by meteorological conditions and active maneuvering is being solved. The method for predicting the trajectory of a vessel’s movement based on solving direct problems of dynamics using nonparametric systems theory is proposed. The advantages of the proposed method are that it’s not affected by model errors, due to the fact that it is based only on a retrospective analysis of several consecutive values of the spatial vessel coordinates. The proposed method differs from similar nonparametric methods in that it does not require statistical calculations, own training, or time-consuming tuning. The method does not imply the solution of identification model parameters, state and control actions problems and can be applied with any unknown linearizable input control actions, including when the model of the vessel’s motion dynamics is not identifiable. The results of numerical modeling for solution the problem of predicting the trajectory of an actively maneuvering small-sized landing vessel using a full nonlinear dynamic model with six degrees of freedom are presented. The studies carried out confirm the efficiency, adequacy and very fast adjustment of the developed method under conditions of complete parametric and nonparametric uncertainty. The proposed method can be used to predict the trajectory of any vehicle under the condition of linearizability of its model and control signals over the observed time interval.
UNIVERSITY COMPETITIVENESS INDICATORS
Authors: Kalenuk I.S. , Kuznetsova N.B.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the conceptual issues of university leadership formation and ensuring the competitiveness of universities. It is determined that educational leadership is becoming an integral part of the competitiveness of the countries in the world in the context of modern globalization. Ensuring university leadership requires new management approaches, guidelines and mechanisms in the context of global transformations. The factors that cause changes in approaches to strategic management of universities, which require constant monitoring of their strategy, change of vision and most importantly, assessment of the effectiveness of achieving strategic objectives. With the help of the systemic-structural analysis, the essence and basic indicators of a modern university competitiveness at different levels (regional, national, global) are determined. It is pointed out that the main effective tool for assessing the competitive position of universities, in particular as educational leaders, is a balanced scorecard. A model of a balanced scorecard of the university with a set of key indicators is introduced in four blocks, including finance, staff, customers (service customers) and internal processes. With the help of comparative analysis, each component is characterized and studied, which enables to identify the main factors that hinder the achievement of leadership positions by universities, in particular at the national level. The generalized results of the analysis are reflected in the formed matrix of the balanced scorecards according to key indicators in the context of providing competitive advantages and gaining leadership positions at the national and global levels. The offered scorecard clearly demonstrates the existing results and challenges in achieving leadership positions by universities at the national level, which will allow them to adjust and effectively develop strategic directions in the future, securing sustainable competitive advantages and leadership in the global market of educational services.
From Tale to Tail: Unwinding the Twisted Life Story of PIG 05049
Authors: Vanden Eynde Maarten
Published: December 2021

Pig 05049 is a book and research project by Dutch designer Christien Meindertsma that chronicles the many consumer products that were made from a pig called 05049. The book offers an insightful look into how this one animal, a single source, provides raw material for a vast number of everyday objects. Meindertsma’s clinical presentation of each laboriously researched object, page by page, organised by body part, follows the progress of the dissection of Pig 05049 and the subsequent use of each part. Some products, she found, are expected and familiar, whilst other diverge dramatically: ammunition, medicine, photo paper, cigarettes, conditioner, and bio diesel. PIG 05049 is currently in its 5th edition. The book won the Dutch Design Award in 2008 and the Index award in 2009 in the category Play. The article is a lightly edited transcript of a conversation between Commodity Frontiers editor, Maarten Vanden Eynde and Christien Meinderstma in September 2021.
Livestock Frontiers
Authors: Schneider Mindi , Coghe Samuël
Published: December 2021

The word livestock itself suggests the reduction of animals as living things to animals as economic goods. Disaggregating the term into its component parts—live and stock—also suggest the difficulty of rendering things that are alive into things that are stocked, especially on large or predicable scales. The be alive is biological; living things breathe, eat, defecate, move, sleep, grow, reproduce, connect with others, get sick, die. To be stock, on the other hand, is economic; stocks are things held and exchanged. In capitalist relations specifically, livestock (and livestock parts) are owned, quantified, rationalized, commodified, specialized, simplified, contracted, accumulated, speculated upon, traded, sold.

 

Ongoing attempts to make living things into stocks, or commodities, are rife with contradictions and impossibilities. Fundamentally, biological bodies are barriers to accumulation. The unruliness of living stocks—including their biological needs, the time they take to grow and mature, their propensities toward genetic diversity, and their vulnerabilities in environments where diversity is strictly denied—make them particularly difficult to standardize and simplify for the market. Just as Karl Polanyi (1944) unveiled the fiction of land, labor, and money as commodities, animals must join this list.

Produk pemutih pakaian So Klin merupakan pemutih pakaian yang mempromosikan produknya melalui beragam macam media, salah satunya media televisi. So Klin Pemutih ini membuktikan bahwa setiap pakaian putih dicuci menggunakan pemutih untuk menghilangkan noda membandel, namun persoalan mencuci pakaian kerap kali dilakukan oleh perempuan atau ibu rumah tangga, serta perempuan yang mengenakan pakaian dan hijab yang serba putih distereotipekan sebagai kaum muslimah. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan baju putih tertutup yang dikenakan oleh umat muslim saat hari Raya Idul Fitri pada iklan So Klin Pemutih versi “Ramadhan”. Melalui metode semiotik ditemukan bahwa Pada hari Raya Idul Fitri perempuan muslim banyak yang mengenakan pakaian serba putih, hal ini dimaknai warna putih melambangkan kesucian dan orang muslim pada saat hari Raya Raya Idul Fitri identik dengan kembali ke fitri atau suci kembali. Maka penelitian ini hanya akan berfokus membahas mengenai stereotype peran ibu rumah tangga dalam iklan So Klin Pemutih versi Ramadhan.
Peran Profitabilitas dan Dividen terhadap Struktur Modal Menggunakan Firms Size sebagai Pemoderasi pada Bisnis Keluarga
Authors: Alamsyair Serafina , Sambuaga Elfina Astrella
Published: December 2021

Latar Belakang: Perusahaan keluarga di Indonesia memberikan kontribusi yang cukup signifikan dalam perekonomian. Dengan mengedepankan pola dinasti, perusahaan keluarga tentu saja akan lebih berhati-hati dalam memilih pendanaan perusahaan. Keputusan perusahaan keluarga terhadap struktur finansial perusahaan pun mendatangkan ketertarikan untuk dibahas.Tujuan: Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk membuktikan bahwa terdapat efek profitabilitas dan dividend yang turut dipertimbangkan dalam perusahaan keluarga, ketika diperhadapkan dengan keputusan dalam menentukan struktur kapital perusahaan. Namun, adanya perbedaan ukuran perusahaan dapat juga dipertimbangkan sebagai moderasi dalam menguji keterkaitan antara efek profitabilitas dan dividen terhadap kebijakan struktur modal perusahaan keluarga.Metode Penelitian: Bisnis dinasti memang tidak mudah, untuk itu pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini berfokus pada data yang tersedia di BEI periode 2015 hingga 2019 tanpa sektor finansial. Pemilihan data yang digunakan melibatkan non-probability purposive sampling tipe judgement sampling. Bertitik tolak dari kriteria yang telah ditentukan maka sampel dalam penelitian ini berhasil menyaring 45 perusahaan keluarga.Hasil Penelitian: Pada pengujian model pertama, profitabilitas tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap variabel struktur kapital, sebagai akibatnya tidak sinkron dengan hipotesis penelitian. Sementara itu, pada pengujian model dua, profitabilitas berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap struktur kapital, sehingga tidak sinkron dengan hipotesis penelitian.Keterbatasan Penelitian: Penelitian ini hanya memakai kriteria perusahaan keluarga serta tidak melibatkan efektivitas tata kelola perusahaan dalam penelitian ini.Keaslian/Novelty Penelitian: Penelitian ini berkontribusi untuk penelitian serupa terkait struktur modal pada perusahaan keluarga yang saat ini masih terdapat inkonsistensi pada hasil penelitian terdahulu.

Authors: Vernando Andreas , Ainy Rintan Nuzul
Published: December 2021

Latar Belakang:Hasil penelitian sebelumnya terkait hubungan antara koneksi politik dan kualitas audit masih inkonklusif. Penelitian sebelumnya telah menyediakan bukti empiris bahwa perusahaan yang terkoneksi politik berhubungan negatif terhadap kualitas audit (Habib et al., 2017a; Cheng et al., 2015), tetapi studi lainnya menemukan bahwa perusahaan yang terkoneksi politik berhubungan positif terhadap kualitas audit (Armadiyanti Iswati, 2019; Guedhami et al., 2013; Harymawan Nowland, 2016).Tujuan:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji manajemen laba dalam memoderasi hubungan antara koneksi politik dan kualitas audit.Metode Penelitian:Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel sejumlah 895 observasi di seluruh perusahaan nonfinansial yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia dan menggunakan regresi logistik.Hasil Penelitian:Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif antara koneksi politik dan kualitas audit. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa perusahaan yang terkoneksi politik memberikan sinyal positif kepada partisipan pasar bahwa perusahaan telah dikelola dengan lebih akuntabel dan transparan. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa manajemen laba memoderasi hubungan koneksi politik dan kualitas audit. Ketika melakukan manajemen laba, perusahaan yang terkoneksi politik memilih auditor tidak berkualitas dalam rangka untuk menutupi praktik manajemen labanya tersebut.Keterbatasan Penelitian:Karena kesulitan untuk mengumpulkan data terkait variabel koneksi politik di laporan tahunan, penelitian ini hanya mampu melakukan observasi perusahaan nonfinansial selama 2017-2018. Keaslian/Novetly Penelitian:Penelitian ini memperluas penelitian Habib et al. (2017a) dengan menggunakan variabel manajemen laba sebagai faktor pemoderasi dan menggunakan perspektif yang berbeda dari penelitian Armadiyanti dan Iswati (2019) terkait koneksi politik diduga berhubungan positif terhadap kualitas audit.

Authors: Adistii Dinda , Susilowati Dewi , Ulfah Permata
Published: December 2021

Latar Belakang: Data Badan Wakaf Indonesia (BWI) tahun 2019 menunjukkan bahwa negara Indonesia memiliki potensi aset wakaf per tahun mencapai Rp 2.000 triliun dengan luas tanah wakaf mencapai 420 ribu hektare. Sementara potensi wakaf uang di Indonesia dalam setahun mencapai Rp 77 triliun namun pengumpulan yang terealisasi hanya sebesar Rp 185 miliar atau hanya 0,24% dari potensinya. Rendahnya realisasi potensi wakaf uang juga mencerminkan rendahnya minat masyarakat yang tentunya disebabkan oleh berbagai macam faktor. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti lebih lanjut faktor-faktor yang diduga berpengaruh terhadap minat berwakaf uang.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan memprediksi pengaruh religiusitas dan literasi wakaf terhadap minat berwakaf uang serta menganalisis dan memprediksi peran akuntabilitas dalam memoderasi pengaruh religiusitas dan literasi wakaf terhadap minat berwakaf uang.Metode Penelitian: Populasi pada penelitian ini ialah anggota grup WaCIDS dan NoCAFE Unsoed, dengan pemilihan sampel dilakukan menggunakan metode convenience sampling, sehingga diperoleh sampel 100 responden. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis regresi linear berganda dan analisis regresi moderasi.Hasil Penelitian: Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Religiusitas berpengaruh positif terhadap minat berwakaf uang; (2) Literasi wakaf berpengaruh positif terhadap minat berwakaf uang; (3) Akuntabilitas tidak dapat memoderasi hubungan antara religiusitas dengan minat berwakaf uang; (4) Akuntabilitas dapat memoderasi hubungan antara literasi wakaf dengan minat berwakaf uang.Keterbatasan Penelitian: Penelitian ini memiliki beberapa keterbatasan, yaitu: (1) Penelitian ini dilakukan pada dua grup diskusi wakaf yaitu WaCIDS dan NoCAFE yang anggotanya sudah mengenal wakaf, (2) Penelitian ini hanya berfokus pada wakaf uang. Berdasarkan keterbatasan tersebut, penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat meneliti minat berwakaf uang pada masyarakat umum sehingga bisa merepresentasikan minat berwakaf uang secara umum. Dan penelitian selanjutnya diharapkan dapat meneliti minat berwakaf jenis lain seperti cash waqf link sukuk, wakaf hewan, dan lainnya.Keaslian/Novelty Penelitian: Penelitian terkait wakaf masih terus berkembang, khususnya tentang wakaf uang. Dan penelitian ini memberikan diskusi baru dengan menggunakan variabel dan indikator yang berbeda dari penelitian terdahulu.

Published: December 2021

Background: Worldwide, gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related fatalities, after lung cancer. Identifying stomach cancer without relying entirely on histopathology is critical. The Silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR's) reflect the aggressiveness of the tumor, according to the study. To establish the effectiveness of these approaches in detecting stomach cancer, the present study was done in order to test their efficacy. The aim of the study was to observe expression of AgNOR in histopathologically diagnosed gastric carcinoma patients.Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out in the department of pathology, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2019. A total of 60 adults who were histopathologically diagnosed patients with gastric carcinoma in gastric endoscopic biopsies and resected samples.Results: More than one-third of the patients (38.3%) belonged to the age group of 61-70 years. The age range of the participants was 40-82. 55% were male and 45% were female, 63.3% of the cancers were in the pylorus region, 33.3% were in the body and 3.3% were in the cardiac end. 80% of the GC were intestinal type and 20% were of diffuse type. 50% of the cancers were moderately differentiated, 36.67% were poorly differentiated, and 13.33% were well differentiated. The association between histopathological grading of gastric carcinoma and AgNOR was statistically significant.Conclusions: The growth of the tumor is highly variable. The AgNOR stain is also a good marker to detect the proliferation of tumor cells.

Published: December 2021

Breast malignancies are one of the commonest malignancies in Indian women. Increasing urbanization is attributed to raise of breast cancers and have surpassed cervix cancer in recent times and are now ranked top in some metros. FNA is used as an important diagnostic tool as a part of triple assessment. The application of the IAC Yokohama system in breast cytology improves the reporting and also allows the calculation of risk of malignancy (ROM).

The main aim of the study is to; 1. Apply the IAC Yokohama system for the diagnostic; 2. assessment and subsequent categorization of FNA samples and correlate them with histopathology examination (HPE); 3. calculate ROM; 4. Calculate p-value.

A total of 305 samples received were diagnosed and classified according to the IAC Yokohama system. The study was conducted over a period of 2 yrs retrospectively from June 2019 to May 2021. For the 305 FNA samples received, HPE correlation was made and statistical parameters, ROM , p-value were calculated.

305 FNA samples were obtained and categorized according to the IAC Yokohama system. They were categorized and the percentage of incidence noted as 1. Insufficient - 6.89%, 2.Benign - 72.46%, 3.Atypical probably benign - 3.28%, 4. Suspicious - 3.28%, 5. Malignant - 14.09%. ROM was also calculated. The distribution of cases in percentage as per categories are: category 1 – 0%, category 2 - 2%, category 3 – 0%, category 4- , 42.86% category 5- 100%. For 305 FNA samples reported 95 cases received for HPE and subsequently cyto – histopathological correlation was made and statistical parameters were calculated. Compiled statistics showed sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 93.54%, NPV of 100%, PPV of 89.19% and diagnostic accuracy at 95.78%. The p-value for the present study is 0.0001 which is very significant.

Application of the IAC Yokohama system of reporting breast cytopathology helps in better categorization of FNA samples and it improves the efficacy of cytopathologist. It gives better clarity to the clinicians in the management of the patient and can reduce unnecessary surgeries.
Evaluation of renal biopsies in various kidney diseases with reference to staining
Authors: Pandey Kaushlendra Kumar , Delphine Silvia CR Wilma , Pandey Aparna , Agarwal Asha
Published: December 2021

Renal diseases of different origin and nature may produce essentially similar disturbances of renal functions and may have clinical similarities and hence there was a need to classify renal diseases more scientifically. The basic approach was to correlate clinical signs and symptoms with histological changes in the tissue, using both simple and special staining techniques so as to reach to a definitive diagnosis.

The present study was conducted on renal biopsy referred to pathology department. Criteria for successful biopsy were as follows-Adequate biopsy sample size, correct processing of specimen, informed interpretation and issue of an accurate report.

A total of 29 renal biopsies were examined. In minimal change disease, only in 4 patients the glomerulus was sclerosed. Membranous glomerulonephritis comprised of the maximum number of cases (9/30). Total of 3 cases of renal biopsies revealed amyloidosis. Focal amyloid deposits with deposits either near the hilum or perivascular areas were found in 33.3% of cases, while extensive amyloid deposits were found in 33.3% of the cases.

It is necessary to determine both the type of renal disease and the cause of the primary disorder in order to make the diagnosis and various staining techniques play a very helpful role. The likelihood that the biopsy specimen accurately reflects the type and severity of the underlying disease is directly related to both the diffuseness of the disease process and the amount of tissue examined.

Published: December 2021

Xanthomatous meningioma is a WHO grade I metaplastic meningioma where neoplastic cells contain lipid-filled vacuolated cytoplasm. The origin of xanthomatous meningiomas is believed to be from meningothelial cells but diagnosis remains difficult because of their close resemblance with the histiocytes. Peculiar radiographic features may aid in diagnosis, however, definitive diagnosis requires immunohistochemical staining. We report a case of 43-year-old male with sphenoid wing meningioma revealing xanthomatous changes and received treatment as grade 1 meningioma. Though the exact pathophysiology remains unknown, we believe focal or gross metaplastic changes lead to transformation of tumor cells into the xanthomatous subtype. Authors discuss this interesting a rare histologic variant with discussion of the relevant literature.

Authors: Aleksandrov Y. B. , Nguyen T. D. , Mingazov B. G.
Published: December 2021

The article proposes a method for designing combustion chambers for gas turbine engines based on a combination of the use of calculations in a one-dimensional and three-dimensional formulation of the problem. This technique allows you to quickly design at the initial stage of creating and development of the existing combustion chambers using simplified calculation algorithms. At the final stage, detailed calculations are carried out using three-dimensional numerical calculations. The method includes hydraulic calculations, on the basis of which the distribution of the air flow passing through the main elements of the combustion chamber is determined. Then, the mixing of the gas flow downstream of the flame tube head and the air passing through the holes in the flame tube is determined. The mixing quality determines the distribution of local mixture compositions along the length of the flame tube. The calculation of the combustion process is carried out with the determination of the combustion efficiency, temperature, concentrations of harmful substances and other parameters. The proposed method is tested drawing on the example of a combustion chamber of the cannular type. The results of numerical calculations, experimental data and values obtained using the proposed method for various operating modes of the engine are compared.
Peculiarities of consideration of domestic violence cases by a jury: problems and perspectives
Authors: Beryoza Z. M.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the question of the optimal composition of the court for resolving domestic violence cases as a means to ensure more effective protection of victims of family violence and an appropriate legal response to this phenomenon. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of consideration of such cases by the jury. The author attempts to observe the advantages and disadvantages of this type of legal proceedings in domestic violence cases, taking into account the peculiarities of the procedural form itself, as well as the substantive legal characteristics of crimes committed in the domestic context. The analysis was conducted through the prism of the criteria of the courts impartiality, the specifics of evidentiary process and of the judicial review of the final judgments rendered in such cases. As a result, it was concluded that, although the features of the procedural form in question impose certain restrictions on the participants in criminal proceedings, the consideration of domestic violence cases by a jury, as an alternative to a professional judge, has undoubted advantages and prospects for its more common use.
Transformation of legal regulation of public relations in the context of the pandemic
Authors: Smirnova M. G.
Published: December 2021

The article examines the problems of legal regulation of the activities of legal entities and relations. The main characteristics of legal regulation, such as the subject, method, methods and types of legal regulation, are analyzed. Currently, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the legal regulation of public relations is undergoing serious transformational changes. A significant change in the subject of legal regulation, due to the creation of a situation of serious threat to public health, forced the legislator to introduce restrictions on the fundamental rights and freedoms of legal entities, as well as to the preferential use of prohibitions and positive obligations as ways to regulate public relations. In this regard, the permissive type of legal regulation of public relations begins to dominate, which is based on the principle of everything is prohibited, except what is directly permitted by law. The above clearly indicates a clear transformation of legal regulation.
Receipt of illegal remuneration by an ex-officer: law, theory, practice
Authors: Ivanchin A. V.
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the issues of criminal-legal assessment of situations when an official for a specified remuneration performs the necessary actions (inaction) in the service, and the remuneration itself is received after the loss of the officials status (deferred bribe). The author criticizes the established judicial practice of qualifying such cases as the final receipt and giving of a bribe, since it directly violates the provisions of Articles 3, 8, 29, 290, 291 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If the recipient of the remuneration is not an official, then his act cant be qualified as a completed bribe-taking by an official by virtue of the law. The article proves that the only correct variant of the criminal-legal assessment of the offense in such cases is the imputation for the ex-official the preparation for receiving a bribe under Article 290 of the Criminal Code with reference to Part 1 of Article 30 of the Criminal Code. Equally, in the actions of the bribe-giver in the analyzed situation from the standpoint of the current version of the criminal law, the author sees only a conspiracy with an official to give-receive a bribe, that is, preparation for giving a bribe, qualified under Article 291 of the Criminal Code with reference to Part 1 of Article 30 of the Criminal Code. In conclusion, it is stated that the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has an obvious gap in investigated part, which requires elimination by amending the criminal law (after a thorough and balanced discussion of their draft).
Prosecutor’s supervision in the field of transport security
Authors: Bezverkhov A. G. , Yudin A. V.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the issues of prosecutors supervision in the field of transport security from the standpoint of an integrated approach. The material was prepared in the wake of the All-Russian research and practical conference held on May 14, 2021, dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the Russian prosecutors office. Transport security as a subject of prosecutors supervision covers a variety of areas of relations related to administrative, criminal, civil and procedural branches of law. Railway, water and air communication is subject not only to special socio-economic laws, but also requires special legal regimes dictated by the significant remoteness and dynamics of the subjects under supervision, the increased risk of harm to legally protected relations, the need for constant and uninterrupted functioning of transport facilities, the importance of the transport segment for the entire economic life of the country. All this determines the need for very prompt and at the same time balanced supervisory decisions, which is possible due to the close cooperation of science and practice.
A Polish Adaptation and Validation of the Positive–Negative Relationship Quality (PN-RQ) Scale
Authors: Papińska Anna , Kuncewicz Dariusz
Published: December 2021

The Positive–Negative Relationship Quality (PN-RQ) scale is used to test the quality of close relationships, taking into account their positive and negative dimensions. The aim of our study was to check the factor structure and criterion validity of the Polish version of this scale, and the possibilities offered by two-dimensional estimation of relationship quality. The validation study involved 740 people (369 female and 371 male) who were in romantic relationships. In addition to the PN-RQ scale, the respondents completed two other relationship quality measures: the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) attachment questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the bi-factor model is suitable for the multidimensional nature of PN-RQ. The results showed the following: high internal consistency of the subscales and the entire scale; compliance with the results obtained with RAS; the possibility of a nuanced assessment of the quality of close relationships, also taking into account the unique differences that arise as a result of anxious or avoidant attachment. The Polish version of the PN-RQ scale is characterized by good psychometric properties and measurement sensitivity; it could be useful in both research and clinical diagnostics.
