Authors: Bauer Paul l. , Wells Gary J. , Tholstrup David , Epperson James
Published: March 2021

Increasing energy prices are bringing about disruptive changes in the economy of the United States and the world. The economies of the developed world are dependent on fossil fuels for the manufacture and transportation of essentially all commodities. One example of disruptions is the movement of fresh fruit, such as peaches. The production of fresh peaches is concentrated in the far West and the Southeastern United States from where they are shipped by truck or rail to the main consuming centers in the Northeast and Mid-west. Peaches are a perennial crop for which adjustments to changing economic situations require a number of years. The objective of this analysis is to measure the short-run effects of increased transportation costs on the producers and consumers of fresh peaches in the United States. This analysis will be short-run in that a perfectly inelastic supply is assumed.

In 2019 there were 9 (nine) managers of drinking water from Sikumbang Springs. The management of the Sikumbang Spring water supply business is still carried out individually and traditionally means that the management carried out by the Sikumbang Spring entrepreneur is only limited to exploitation. Management does not include environmental preservation. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential and determine the sustainable management strategy of Sikumbang Springs in Pulau Sarak Village, Kampar District, Kampar Regency. The benefit gained from this research is the balance between environmental, economic and social aspects in managing Sikumbang Spring. and the community as water users / entrepreneurs get information on the potential of Sikumbang Springs in Pulau Sarak Village. Analysis of the projected population of each village in the Kampar subdistrict above can be calculated the number of residents who use clean water. The more accurate results of the largest population is at the end of the planned year, namely in 2029 with a total population of 50.732 people (10-year projection). The potential of Sikumbang Spring based on the value of its debit from March to December 2020 is 247.127.040 liters. The need for clean water for household needs (drinking and cooking water) in Kampar sub-district is 6,3 ((liters / day) / soul), so that the community's water demand in Kampar sub-district in 2019 is 310.697 liters / day. The average daily debit of Sikumbang Springs is 808.272 liters / day. The calculation of the average daily debit of Sikumbang Spring shows that the debit value of Sikumbang Spring exceeds the value of its needs. Therefore, Sikumbang Springs in the study area can be used as an alternative in meeting the water needs of the local community and communities outside Pulau Sarak Village. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis of the management of the Sikumbang Spring, the strategy that can be applied is an aggressive (development) strategy that is maximizing strengths and taking advantage of available opportunities, so as to minimize weaknesses and avoid threats. Sikumbang Spring management must optimize the main function of Sikumbang Spring as a source of clean water in meeting household water needs and improving its marketing system. The role of the community in maintaining and preserving the source of the Sikumbang Spring also needs to be enhanced.

Representación del cambio climático en YouTube: un análisis cuantitativo de los vídeos más populares
Authors: Muñoz-Pico Hilda Paola , León Anguiano Bienvenido , García Martínez Alberto Nahum
Published: March 2021

Este artículo examina si los contenidos de YouTube sobre el cambio climático contribuyen a que se generen nuevas propuestas de comunicación, con voces y enfoques distintos, lo que implicaría una mejor información de los ciudadanos y podría facilitar su implicación y participación en la toma de medidas necesarias para enfrentar el problema (decisiones de consumo, presión a los políticos para que adopten medidas, etc.), o si, por el contrario, se han amplificado las voces que, en general, predominan en los medios, como las de los políticos. Mediante un análisis de contenido, este estudio analiza la representación del cambio climático en los vídeos más populares en YouTube. Tras examinar una muestra de 288 vídeos difundidos durante el periodo octubre 2016-octubre 2017, se constata que los políticos, como el expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump, son las voces más citadas en las piezas de YouTube sobre cambio climático, seguidas de periodistas y científicos. Respecto de los productores de esos vídeos, los medios de comunicación ocupan un lugar privilegiado de popularidad. Incluso, parte de sus contenidos se reutilizan total o parcialmente por otros usuarios de la plataforma. La vocación principal de los mensajes es informativa, con un discurso enfocado, sobre todo, en las consecuencias del cambio climático en los países desarrollados. Los resultados del análisis de contenido también ponen de manifiesto que las informaciones que ayudan a entender los procesos en los que se inscriben los problemas ambientales quedan relegadas por la prominencia de la coyuntura política en los vídeos más populares sobre el cambio climático en YouTube. Entre las conclusiones de este estudio, destaca el predominio de políticos, funcionarios o exfuncionarios por encima de voces expertas, como los científicos, que conlleva el riesgo de una menor discusión social e implicación ciudadana en las acciones necesarias para enfrentar el cambio climático.

This paper makes contributions to work-life integration and career theory.
Food bank drive-through distribution during COVID-19: A reflective essay
Authors: Cavaliere Brittney , Drew Carson , Martin Katie
Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprece­dented surge in food insecurity and demand for free food. In response, Foodshare, the regional food bank serving Greater Hartford, Connecticut, created a drive-through distribution program to meet the immediate food needs of residents. Our team at Foodshare’s Institute for Hunger Research & Solutions conducted two surveys of people receiving food at the drive-through distribution to help inform Foodshare’s programming and response to the pandemic. Results show that 70% of households receiving food had never gone to a food pantry or other program to receive free food prior to COVID-19, and 67% said they come at least once a week. Additionally, 86% of guests are not going elsewhere to receive free food and only 37% know of other places to get free food. The majority of people receiving food at the drive-through distribution were people of color, who are those most affected by COVID-19 from both health and financial perspectives. From April to August 2020, Foodshare served an average of 1,500 households each day and more than 150,000 cars total at the drive-through distribution alone. Despite serving an immediate need for food, the drive-through model presents challenges, particu­larly during the New England winter with snow and freezing temperatures, and is an expensive endeavor. Foodshare and other food banks will need to pivot again from short-term pandemic assistance to longer-term approaches to create dignified, convenient, and sustainable access to healthy food for additional people struggling with food insecurity. Food banks can also leverage their extensive platforms of volunteers and donors to advocate for policy changes that will ensure eco­nomic stability and food security.
Risk Factors for the Acquisition of a blaNDM-5 Carbapenem-Resistant Escherichia coli in a Veterinary Hospital
Authors: Lavigne Sondra H. , Cole Stephen D. , Daidone Carolann , Rankin Shelley C.
Published: March 2021

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an urgent antibiotic resistant threat. Only sporadic reports of CRE in companion animals have been described. Our objective was to identify risk factors associated with the acquisition of a blaNDM-5 CR-Escherichia coli strain as part of an outbreak investigation at a tertiary veterinary hospital in the United States. A matched case–control study was conducted among companion animals admitted during July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019. The 15 identified blaNDM-5 CR-E coli cases were matched 1:2 with controls (culture negative for blaNDM-5 CR-E coli) based on species and number of days of hospitalization before bacterial culture sample collection. The association between exposure to various procedures and hospital services and the acquisition of blaNDM-5 CR-E. coli was assessed through conditional logistic regression. Case patients had significantly higher odds of exposure to the anesthesia service (odds ratio [OR] = 12.8, P = .017), the surgical service (OR = 4.0, P = .046), and to endotracheal intubation (OR = 10.0, P = .03). Veterinary hospitals should be aware of the potential for transmission of CRE via anesthetic and surgical procedures, especially those that require the placement of endotracheal tubes.

Published: March 2021

This chapter deals with heat transfer challenges in the microdomain. It focuses on practical issues regarding this matter when attempting the fabrication of small footprint thermoelectric generators (μTEGs). Thermoelectric devices are designed to bridge a heat source (e.g. hot surface) and a heat sink (e.g. ambient) assuring that a significant fraction of the available temperature difference is captured across the active thermoelectric materials. Coexistence of those contrasted temperatures in small devices is challenging. It requires careful decisions about the geometry and the intrinsic thermal properties of the materials involved. The geometrical challenges lead to micromachined architectures, which silicon technologies provide in a controlled way, but leading to fragile structures, too. In addition, extracting heat from small systems is problematic because of the high thermal resistance associated to heat exchanged by natural convection between the surrounding air and small bare surfaces. Forced convection or the application of a cold finger clearly shows the usefulness of assembling a heat exchanger in a way that is effective and compliant with the mechanical constraints of micromachined devices. Simulations and characterization of fabricated structures illustrate the effectiveness of this element integration and its impact on the trade-off between electrical and thermal behavior of the active materials in device performance.
Orthopedic Bone Drilling Robot ODRO: Basic Characteristics and Areas of Applications
Authors: Boiadjiev Tony , Boiadjiev George , Delchev Kamen , Chavdarov Ivan , Kastelov Roumen
Published: March 2021

The orthopedic manipulation “bone drilling” is the most executed one in the orthopedic surgery concerning the operative treatment of bone fractures. The drilling process is characterized by a number of input and output parameters. The most important input parameters are the feed rate [mm/s] and the drill speed [rpm]. They play significant role for the final result (the output parameters): thermal and mechanical damages of the bone tissue as well as hole quality. During the manual drilling these parameters are controlled by the surgeon on the base of his practical skills. But the optimal results of the manipulations can be assured only when the input parameters are under control during an automatic execution of the drilling process. This work presents the functional characteristics of the handheld robotized system ODRO (Orthopedic Drilling Robot) for automatic bone drilling. Some experimental results are also shown. A comparison is made between the similar systems which are known in the literature, some of which are available on the market. The application areas of ODRO in the orthopedic surgery practice are underlined.
Peritext of the Russian translation of William Hogarth’s Analysis of Beauty: a case study
Authors: Boyko Lyudmila B. , Chugueva Kristina S. , Gulina Alexandra K.
Published: March 2021

Translation of philosophical texts is a special challenge because of specific philosophical idiom and conceptual complexity of the narrative. It is not surprising that such translations are often accompanied by commentaries where the translator steps out of the shadows to justi­fy the translational decisions. This kind of supplementary text called the “translational peritext” is under study in this paper aiming to reveal the cognitive effort the translation process involves, and to explore the author-translator-reader relationship. The purpose of the article is to analyze paratextual elements in the translation of an essay on philosophical aes­thetics in search of answers to three main questions: What does the translator choose to com­ment on, and why? What is specific about the role and function of translational peritext in philosophical artistic discourse? How do the commented translational decisions affect, if at all, the reader’s understanding of the author’s stance? The problem of revealing the translator’s agency, his/her motivations and decision-making is investigated on the basis of the essay Analysis of Beauty by the celebrated 18th century English artist William Hogarth — an in­fluential philosophical treatise whose ideas have never lost their relevance. The paper starts with the brief account of the concept of paratext, its types and functions; it will then proceed to specificities of philosophical translation. In the main part of the article, the background information on the material under study precedes the analysis of the identified commented translational issues.
Literary communication: from semiotic models to a theory of linguistic aesthetics
Authors: Feshchenko Vladimir V.
Published: March 2021

The article explores literary communication as one of the types of linguistic communica­tion. The main objective is to develop a linguo-aesthetic model of literary communication based on the models of the sign, semiosis and communication adopted in linguistics, semiotics and poetics. The author employs semiotic methods of modelling the sign and communication, developed in the works of Frege, Peirce, Shpet, Mukařovsky, Jakobson, Lotman, Eco, Novikov, and Zolyan. The emphasis is laid on the models of the sign and the corresponding models of semiosis in relation to literary systems. The concept of literary communication is given a new definition; it refers to the interaction of the author as an artist and the reader (viewer, listen­er) through a message or an utterance as a work of art. A correlation is established between the structure of the literary sign and the structure of the act of literary communication. The linguo-aesthetic model of artistic communication reflects the correspondence between types of literary signs and elements of communication.
Translation of postmodern terminology in the philo- sophical works by M. Foucault, J. Baudrillard, and J. Derrida
Authors: Beley Maria A. , Fonova Eugenia G.
Published: March 2021

The article examines the specifics of the translation of postmodern philosophical termi-
nology. The authors explore Russian translations of the works of the modern French postmodernist philosophers Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Derrida. Postmodernism as a philosophical movement is based on the concept of radical plurality. It is characterised by the multiplicity of dimensions and types of analysis. The authors look into the problem of choosing strategies for the translation of postmodern terminology and analyse the dilemma translators have to face: how to manoeuvre between polysemy and ambiguity in the translation of philosophical terms. The article analyses the translation of Foucault’s seminal work Les Mots et les Choses (translated by Avtonomova and Vizgin). Special attention is paid to the problem of translation of the postmodern terms discourse and episteme. Another focus of research is the analysis of the translation of Baudrillard’s work Simulacres et Simulation (translated by Pechenkina). In the final part of the article, the authors analyse the peculiarities of the translation of Derrida's treatise into Russian.

The main purpose of this paper is to identify basic regularities of snow bank formation when using milling and rotary snow blowers. The study of the mechanism of snow bank formation was based on experimental investigations of the throwing machine rotor of the low-powered milling and rotary snow blower. Moistened sawdust was used as artificial snow. As the result of the conducted investigations, the nature of the snow bank formation has been determined and the regression equations for the distribution of the number of particles, total mass and average mass of individual particles of the material simulating one specific type of snow along the length of the snow bank have been obtained. The relative amount of the material transported by the rotor in relation to the total amount of material loaded into the rotor for the specified geometric and kinematic parameters of the rotor of the throwing machine has been found. The dependencies obtained make it possible to carry out simulation and visualization of snow bank formation during snow clearing operations, to choose the most rational parameters of the throwing machine of the milling and rotary snow blower, as well as to specify the strategy of snow clearing operations with the application of milling and rotary snow blowers.

This study highlights the importance of using real-life values of agricultural equipment in real financial statements in medium-sized enterprises. The authors have adopted the essence of nature related to the estimation of agricultural equipment, that is, he has stated that in the agricultural production of transition countries, agricultural equipment has been used for more than five decades. This was a key assumption adopted by the authors of this study. In addition, the presentation of realistic financial statements should include an account of the real value of agricultural equipment, which essentially leads to a periodic fair valuation of agricultural equipment available to agricultural producers in transition countries.

The movement of documentation as part of an implemented audit in the operations and management of an agricultural enterprise can contribute to improving the operation and management of an agricultural enterprise. This generally reduces the risk to the business of the agricultural enterprise. The movement of documentation within the company is done constantly. In this movement it is possible to make mistakes and omissions that will lead to worse business results of the company, which are essentially a consequence of poor internal factors of organization of work and business of top management. Therefore, the authors draw attention to the importance of establishing audit mechanisms that will contribute to improving the overall management of the agricultural enterprise, through better organization of the flow of documentation in the agricultural enterprise. The authors point out that their contribution in this paper is primarily focused on highlighting the importance of the movement of documentation within the company, which is the basis of audit monitoring and giving recommendations to the top management, who will then have the opportunity to make valid business decisions.

Despite national and international guidelines recommending inclusion of psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions as regular part of treatment for patients with psychosis spectrum disorders (PSD), outpatient psychiatric care in Southeastern Europe (SEE) is mostly limited to medication prescription. DIALOG+ is a recently developed technology-based, patient centered psychosocial intervention that provides an economically viable intervention for treatment and comprehensive evaluation of multiple life domains. Its effectiveness in a range of psychiatric disorders has been shown in several studies conducted in high-income countries. Before an ongoing study evaluating DIALOG+ implementation and effectiveness in developing SEE countries is completed, we aimed to explore general impressions of mental health clinicians towards such an intervention and to compare the duration of treatment as usual (TAU) with DIALOG+ enriched appointments of PSD outpatients. The attendees of the national professional educational symposium were presented with DIALOG+, after which they completed a short survey on their general impressions towards the intervention. To obtain the information regarding duration of psychiatric appointments for patients with PSD in Serbia, we used data from a currently ongoing randomized clinical trial where DIALOG+ is being tested for effectiveness. The impressions of the survey (n=110) from mostly psychiatrists and psychiatry residents towards the concept of this intervention were overwhelmingly positive. However, the question arose if TAU is being prolonged by DIALOG+ to the extent that might limit its implementation. Although significant difference in average session duration was observed between DIALOG+ and TAU (31.96±16.47 vs. 19.75±6.11 minutes, p<0.01), providing structured interventions and patient evaluation might be of additional benefit for long term care and quality of life of PSD patients. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first evaluation of the duration of psychiatric appointments for outpatients with PSD in Serbia. Present information could be useful for different stakeholders in education of MH workers and implementation of DIALOG+ in the local settings.

No modern studies of the natural course of depression have been done since the nineteen fourties of the last century. A large number of depressive episodes spontaneously remit. Because of this, some psychiatrists call for more use of a therapeutic approach called watchful waiting, especially for milder forms of depression. At the Institute of mental health in Belgrade, from November 2019 until November 2021, a study in watchful waiting will be done. In this paper the methodology of the planned study is described.
