Published: August 2021

The content of the article was determined by the problem of positive worldview formation of teenage schoolchildren as a predictor of a safe educational environment. The lack of qualitative characteristics of the educational environment and, in particular, its safety presupposes great difficulties in the personal development of schoolchildren during the period of maturation. Improving the level of psychological safety and psychological culture in the socio-cultural space is a preventative means of maintaining personal mental health. The early providing of purposeful psychological aid based on the principles of humanity and pragmatism determines the change in the mental reality of a person and limits the identification of psychopathological symptoms of development. The research was conducted on the basis of comprehensive schools of Kryvyi Rih city (Ukraine). To accomplish the task a comparative method of research organization (a cross section of data in different age groups of schoolchildren of the sample) was used. The methods employed in the research were designed to measure happiness in general, to estimate peculiarities of behavioral reactions in situations of uncertainty, to identify stress factors as positive worldview, confidence and constructive activity. For deeper analysis of the obtained data and revealing of dependence between indicators of worldview trends and the age of respondents a correlation analysis was carried out. The received data can be a basis for further research work in peculiarities of strategies of behavior of teenage schoolchildren.

Published: August 2021

The article considers the structural optimization results for the process of mechanic removing inside flash during the production of longitudinal electric-welded pipes with a diameter of 60.3 ... 89.0 mm. Mechanical processing was performed with a pipe electric welding unit, designed for the manufacture of pipes with a diameter of 60.0 ... 178.0 mm, using various cutting tools and grades of hard alloys. The influence of the parameters of chip formation and cutting forces on the quality of inside flash removing in a longitudinal electric-welded pipe is found. The experiments were carried out using both the basic and experimental geometry of the cutting tool. The dependence of the tool durability at the operation of flash removing on the hardness of the alloy and the wear resistance of the coating has been studied. The analysis of the results of the study of annular inserts made of a three-carbide hard alloy with a multilayer wear-resistant coating showed the possibility of reducing the consumption of cutting tools and emergency stops of the mill, improving the quality of processing and the rate of yield.

ЮВЕНАЛЬНЫЕ ФОБИИ ПОСТАПОКАЛИПТИЧЕСКОЙ ВЛАСТИ: МОРАЛЬНАЯ ДЕВОЛЮЦИЯ ЛИЧНОСТИ В ЖЕРНОВАХ БИОПОЛИТИКИ
Authors: Маленко Сергей Анатольевич , Некита Андрей Григорьевич
Published: August 2021

Актуальность. Антропологический кризис, в который ввергнута современная цивилизация, задает новые стандарты интерпретации противоречий между поколениями и диктует сценарии их визуализации. Данный конфликт приобретает политико-идеологическое звучание, что требует гуманитарной экспертизы этой ситуации и формирования корпуса рекомендаций по минимизации негативных последствий. Цель: на примере голливудской франшизы о «Дивергенте» проанализировать стратегии формирования постапокалиптического социального пространства и принципы деформации межпоколенческой коммуникации. Методы: авторы опираются на междисциплинарный комплекс семиотического, феноменологического и психоаналитического методов, позволяющий всесторонне проанализировать биополитические и идеологические стратегии постапокалиптической власти.  Результаты: укрепление институтов власти будущего осуществляется посредством насаждения тоталитарной, иерархической системы, каждый уровень которой выполняет предписанную моральную миссию, что позволяет придавать ее официальным и повседневным функциям высшие сакральные и антропологические смыслы. Эффективность существования фракционной системы постапокалиптического будущего обеспечивается за счет создания жесткого механизма социализации, призванного формировать и канонизировать стандартизированные моральные добродетели. Функционированию подобного отлаженного механизма препятствуют дивергенты – индивиды, обладающие всеми фракционными способностями одновременно. Их универсальность подрывает стабильность антиутопического социума, что обуславливает стремление власти к физическому устранению дивергентов из социального пространства. Государственному порядку противопоставлена внесистемная оппозиция инсургентов – девиантов, стремящихся уничтожить фракционную детерминацию. Демонстративная борьба фракционного социума с инсургентами является его системной функцией, укрепляющей позиции власти, которая выступает закономерным результатом теневых экспериментов над обществом. Выводы: использование технологий профессиональной сегрегации становится ведущей биополитической, коммунитарной стратегией постапокалиптической тоталитарной власти.

Play therapy in the prevention of behavioural disorders of school-aged children
Authors: Maras Andrej
Published: August 2021

The main goal of this research was to identify and understand the effects of play therapy on the prevention of behavioural disorders of younger school-aged children. A semi-structured interview was used as the data collection method with 17 open-ended questions. The study participants were seven parents whose children were involved in play therapy treatment for at least 3 months. It has been shown that play therapy is an effective medium in empathy development, more successful emotion management, encouragement of non-violent communication and reduction in aggressive behaviour. It can be concluded that the effectiveness of play therapy in the prevention of behavioural disorders significantly depends on the involvement of parents in treatment and the relationship between a therapist and a child. This research certainly serves as a basis for further research that will recognise the importance of therapeutic play in solving emotional and/or behavioural difficulties of children and youth.

Published: August 2021

Un fenómeno que evidencia la rururbanización es el de la segunda residencia, considerada una forma de urbanización del campo, por lo que se constituye en un instrumento de difusión y dispersión de la ciudad sobre el espacio rural. Las nuevas periferias metropolitanas aparecen como los territorios modelo de la ciudad dispersa, con una discontinuidad espacial marcada, conformados por piezas separadas físicamente, pero integradas por medio de redes. Allí se diluyen los principios de proximidad y contigüidad, y opera la lógica de la organización en red, donde priman conexidad y conectividad.Palabras cave: Fragmentación,Rururbanización, Segunda residencia.

Asbtract A phenomenon that shows the rural-urbanization is the second home or second residence, considered a form of urbanization of the countryside, which becomes a tool for the dissemination and spread out of the city over the countryside. The new metropolitan peripheries appear as the territories of the dispersed city model, with a marked spatial discontinuity,comprised of physically separate parts but integrated through networks. There, the principles of proximity and contiguity are diluted, and the logic of network organization operates whereindustry connectedness and connectivity are of primary  mportance.

Our article tackles the subject of the creation of the adjectives in French language in recent years. The questions that have arisen in the course of the investigation concern the vitality of the category of adjectives compared to other parts of speech, as well as the most frequent ways in which adjective neologisms have emerged in recent years. We also ask if the very significant influence of English language on the newest French lexis is also evident in case of adjectives, and finally whether the analysis of neologisms within this category enables to limit the field of study to Romance languages only.

Authors: Mitchell Peter J. , Andrakhanov Andrey A. , Trusov Egor V.
Published: August 2021

World War One had an impact not only the development of international relations throughout the 20th century, but also led to the creation of air forces of different countries. More than 30 countries participated in the First World War. The British Empire, which fought on the side of the Entente, was one of them. During the First World War, the importance of the Air Force increased. It played a decisive role in gaining dominance amidst the aerospace. Aviation, which tasks included aerial reconnaissance and bomb attacks, evolved significantly. A huge number of new experimental military equipment have appeared. All of this produced a huge number of military slang terms. In this study, we will examine the slang terms that appeared in the slang of the British Air Force during the First World War, classify them and make a conclusion about the influence of the First World War on the development of military slang terms. During the training of specialists in the linguistic support of military activity, the topic of military slang remains understudied, which is why interpreters have difficulties in translating slang units. Therefore, the studying of this phenomenon can improve the skills of military interpreters and allow them to avoid major mistakes in their professional activity.
Provisions situation in the Tambov Governorate in the early 1918
Authors: Averin Nikita V.
Published: August 2021

We examine the provisions situation in the early 1918 in the producing regions of Russia using materials from the Tambov Governorate. Published documents indicate a strong rise in prices for consumer goods, the population was concerned about high prices for food. The provisions problem was clearly taking on political overtones. The Bolsheviks who came to power did not only impose power, proceeding from their political and economic preferences, starting socialist transformations and fighting the remnants of the old organs of power. All this is shown in pub-lished sources on the peasant movement that swept the province, as well as in memoirs, witnesses of all those problems associated with food and the deterioration of the political and economic situation in the city and the governorate as a whole. In particular, the Soviet power immediately faced huge provisions problems, both inherited and generated by their own requisitions, as well as with the peasant protest movement. The peasant movement itself, caused by hunger and chaos, in the future will play a huge role in the policies pursued by the Bolsheviks. Documents and memoirs can serve in the study of the state of the population in the specified period.

Authors: Stepanova Natalia A.
Published: August 2021

We consider the main principles of constructivism (taking into account and developing the cognitive interests of students, encouraging mutual learning and activating peers as sources of learning), which underlie modern pedagogy and linguodidactics,. A comparison of a traditional lesson and a lesson based on the principles of constructivism is carried out, it is shown how the es-sence of assessment and the attitude towards it change at the present stage of development of education and in theory. Particular attention is paid to the problem of formative assessment, in particular, its specifics are discussed at different stages of teaching and the roles that are assigned in it to participants in the educational process – teacher, student and classmates. The definition of formative assessment is clarified and its various aspects are considered: the involvement of students in the process of goal-setting, self- and mutual control; the quality of the questions used by the teacher in the classroom and the quality of the feedback; subsequent use of the results of the final control for teaching purposes. The functions of formative assessment are revealed. The levels of formative assessment (low, medium and high) are analyzed, the choice of which depends on the learning context. The relevance of formative assessment to educational results with an emphasis on the development of subject and meta-subject skills in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard of General Secondary Education is demonstrated.

We present an overview of traditional and modern methods used in teaching children a foreign language at an early age. Feasibility of earlier foreign language competence development and need for training specialists with a narrow focus in foreign language teaching in the preschool education system are justified. We describe the age and psychological characteristics of younger learners. The categories of learners are characterized depending on the type of information perception: visual learners, aural learners, verbal learners, physical learners, logical learners, social learners and solitary learners. The factors motivating them to learn are substantiated, including a foreign language acquisition. The authors describe the methods and techniques that are commonly used in teaching English, such as Total Physical Response, the Natural Approach, Audiolingual Method, Communicative Method, CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning).

We investigated the possibility of activating private forest management through business cooperation within 'forest lease' and 'forest management' business models between private forest owners (PFOs) and forest service providers. By surveying PFOs (n = 205) and forest service providers (n = 14), we found that the willingness to engage in business cooperation in both proposed business models is higher among forest service providers than PFOs. In addition, we found that business cooperation within the proposed business models is feasible because the level of cooperation of PFOs with forest service providers over a 10-year period is satisfactory, and the proposed terms and conditions governing the business relationship and basic contract obligations of the contracting parties have proven to be appropriate for both business partners. In order to establish business cooperation, it is first necessary to promote business cooperation at the local level and to establish business relations between potential partners.

A Data Processing Method Based on Sequence Labelling and Syntactic Analysis for Extracting New Sentiment Words from Product Reviews
Authors: Zhang Shunxiang , Xu Han qing , Zhu Guang li , Chen Xiang , Li Kuang Ching
Published: August 2021

New sentiment words in product reviews are valuable resources that are directly close to users. The data processing of new sentiment word extraction can provide information service better for users, and provide theoretical support for the related research of edge computing. Traditional methods for extracting new sentiment words generally ignored the context and syntactic information, which leads to the low accuracy and recall rate in the process of extracting new sentiment words. To tackle the mentioned issue, we proposed a data processing method based on sequence labeling and syntactic analysis for extracting new sentiment words from product reviews. Firstly, the probability that the new word is a sentiment word is calculated through the location rules derived from the sequence labeling result, and the candidate set of new sentiment words is obtained according to the probability. Then, the candidate set of new sentiment words is supplemented with the method of matching appositive words based on edit distance. Finally, the final set of new sentiment words is collected through fine-grained filtering, including the calculation of Point Mutual Information (PMI) and difference coefficient of positive and negative corpus (DC-PNC). The experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of new sentiment words extracted by the proposed method which can obviously improve the accuracy and recall rate of sentiment analysis.

Authors: Sattari Shima , Vaezi Gholamhasan , Shahidi Siamak , Hojati Vida , Komaki Alireza
Published: August 2021

Background: In neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), learning and memory, and neural plasticity are impaired. Vitamin C (Vit C), as an antioxidant, protects tissues against oxidative stress. In this study, the neuroprotection and the effectiveness of Vit C in the prevention and treatment of AD in a rat model of AD induced by intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of amyloid-beta (Aβ) were studied using behavioral tests and electrophysiological methods. Methods: 50 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n=10 rats /group): Control, Sham, AD, Vit C, and AD+Vit C. After treatment (2 months), animals were assessed by learning and memory tests, including the new object recognition (NOR), passive avoidance learning (PAL), and Morris water maze (MWM) tests. Then, using the electrophysiological method, synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus was assessed and Vit C effects on long-term potentiation (LTP) were examined.Results: ICV injection of Aβ to the AD group reduced memory in the NOR, PAL, and MWM behavioral tests. Also, Vit C reduced learning and memory impairment due to Aβ injection in rats. Aβ caused the inhibition of LTP in dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells by reducing the slope of the excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) and the amplitude of the population spike (PS) in the AD group. Conclusions: These results showed that Vit C reduced the impairment in synaptic plasticity induced by Aβ in DG of the hippocampus. Vit C supplementation through its antioxidant properties can improve the impaired synaptic plasticity and memory induced by Aβ and can be applied as a neuroprotective agent.

Published: August 2021

Background

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic not only threats physical health, but also affects the mental health of people. Yet, health consequences of the pandemic do not affect all members of society equally. We, therefore, assessed the mental health burden of individuals who are at increased risk of severe illness from Covid-19 compared to individuals who are at low risk of severe illness during the first lockdown in Germany. Furthermore, we investigated variables mediating the effect of being an individual at increased risk of serve illness on depression.
Methods

Adult German residents (n = 2.369) provided responses to a cross-sectional online survey about risk factors for an increased risk of severe illness from Covid-19 and various aspects of mental health during the first Covid-19 lockdown in Germany. Standardized and validated self-report measures (e.g. PHQ-9, GAD-7) were used using Mann-Whitney U-tests as well as regression and mediation analyses.
Results

The results clearly show that the mental health burden is higher among persons at increased risk of severe illness from Covid-19 compared to persons at low risk of severe illness from Covid-19. Moreover, our findings indicate that individuals at increased risk of severe illness are more worried about their health during the pandemic and may therefore respond with social withdrawal to protect themselves and, consequently, experience higher levels of loneliness, which in turn has an impact on depressive symptoms.
Conclusions

Individuals at increased risk of severe illness have an increased need for psychosocial support during times of lockdown. Future public health policies should pay special attention to these individuals and support them by targeted offers. More research, however, is needed on possible long-term consequences of social distancing on mental health.

Background: Medications currently recommended for the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) usually decrease the severity of the symptoms by 20–30%, and 40–60% of OCD patients do not achieve satisfactory treatment. In this study, the main objective was to investigate the effectiveness of memantine, which is a non-competitive N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, as an adjunct therapy to sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), to improve severity of symptoms and cognitive function among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Methods: 70 patients who based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) criteria were diagnosed with OCD, and had a Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) score of more than 21, were recruited in a placebo controlled, double-blinded, parallel-group, clinical trial of 12 weeks to receive either memantine (10 mg twice daily) and sertraline (100 mg daily initially followed by 200 mg daily after week 4) or placebo and sertraline. The primary outcome was OCD symptoms measured by the Y-BOCS, moreover, the executive function and the cognition of participants was measured by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).Results: Y-BOCS score in total, obsession and compulsion subscales significantly dropped in both groups; however, there was not a significant difference between them. In comparison of cognition, memantine group showed a greater response in number of categories subscale in the WCST (p value<0.001). No major adverse effects were observed in any of the groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a probable effect of memantine as adjuvant therapy to sertraline on cognitive function of patients with OCD as well as its safety and tolerability in comparison with placebo. Nevertheless, the current results don`t support the efficacy of memantine as an adjunctive agent to sertraline for improving severity of symptoms among patients with OCD.Trial registration: The trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials on 2019-10-04 (www.irct.ir; IRCT ID: IRCT20170123032145N4).

Objective
If Rajasthan, India was a country, it would rank 148th out of 192 for maternal mortality. Early identification of high-risk pregnant women, timely referral care, early intervention and delivery planning are key factors in reducing maternal mortality. To our knowledge, this is the first study to qualitatively assess the barriers and facilitators to uptake of referral services amongst high-risk pregnant women in rural Rajasthan.
Methods
Active pregnant women tracked digitally through the Khushi Baby platform in Udaipur, Rajasthan were considered from the sample frame. Pregnant women who had either severe hypertension or moderate/severe anemia were considered for inclusion. A purposive sample was approached to ensure a diversity of perspectives. In-depth individual interviews were conducted in the local dialect, Mewari. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and used for thematic generation, and organized as per the analytical framework described in the socio-ecological model.
Results
19 high risk pregnant women of low socioeconomic backgrounds across 15 villages were interviewed. Barriers to referral care included lack of transportation, household responsibilities, and limited awareness, education, and social support. The most prominent barrier was lack of accompaniment to the referral center by a family member or health worker. Facilitators included available husbands, engaged heath workers, supportive neighbors, and other female family members who shared past experiences. Social support through accompaniment was noted to have the ability to overcome barriers.
Conclusions
Social support at the interpersonal and community level is key to overcoming referral care barriers faced by high-risk pregnant women in rural Rajasthan. Completion of antenatal referral care visits is essential to improvement in maternal and child health outcomes. A multi-faceted approach is needed to improve referral care completion for maternal health in rural Rajasthan. The following interventions are likely to be effective: a) targeted awareness campaigns for ambulance availability for high-risk conditions; b) digital tools to improve planning and coordination among health workers; c) inclusion of screening indicators for social isolation as a risk factor; and d) incentivization of beneficiaries for referral completion. We are in the process of sharing these findings with the district and state government of Rajasthan.

BackgroundHemodialysis patients are among high-risk groups for COVID-19. Africa is the continent with the lowest number of cases in the general population but we have little information about the disease burden in dialysis patients. Objectives:This study aimed to describe the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the hemodialysis population of Senegal.Patients and methodsWe conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey, between June and September 2020 involving 10 public dialysis units randomly selected in eight regions of Senegal. After seeking their consent, we included 303 patients aged ≥18 years and hemodialysis for ≥3 months. Clinical symptoms and biological parameters were collected from medical records. Patients’ blood samples were tested with Abbott SARS-CoV-2 Ig G assay using an Architect system. Statistical tests were performed with STATA 20.ResultsSeroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was 21.1% (95% CI= 16.7%-26.1%). We noticed a wide variability in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence between regions ranging from 5.6% to 51.7%. Among the 38 patients who underwent nasal swab testing, only six patients had a PCR-confirmed infection and all of them did seroconvert. Suggestive clinical symptoms were reported by 28.1% of seropositive patients and the majority of them presented asymptomatic disease. After multivariate analysis, a previous contact with a confirmed case and living in a high population density region were associated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.ConclusionThis study presents to our knowledge the first seroprevalence data in African hemodialysis patients. Compared to data from other continents, we found a higher proportion of patients with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies but a lower lethality rate.

Background: Brexpiprazole and aripiprazole are atypical antipsychotics that act as partial agonists at the dopamine D2 receptor. No head-to-head trial comparing brexpiprazole and aripiprazole in the treatment of schizophrenia is available. Here, we carry out a systematic review and comparison of the efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole and aripiprazole in schizophrenia treatment.Methods: We employed an indirect meta-analysis to determine effect sizes from randomised placebo-controlled trials with brexpiprazole and aripiprazole in the acute treatment of schizophrenia. We compared responder rates, incidences of adverse events and serious adverse events, the number needed to treat (NNT) for response, number needed to harm (NNH) for adverse events or treatment discontinuation, and likelihood to be helped or harmed (LHH) as efficacy and safety indices of the two drugs. Results: Five studies for each drug were included in the analysis. Similar risk differences vs. placebo were observed for responder rates under brexpiprazole (10.2%, p = 0.0015) and aripiprazole (10.3%, p = 0.0003). Higher incidences of adverse events and serious adverse events were seen under aripiprazole compared with brexpiprazole, however, the risk differences were not statistically significant. The NNT for response was 11 for both substances. For brexpiprazole compared with placebo, we did not find an increase of adverse events (NNH = 27, not significant), however, we found an increased number of adverse events for aripiprazole versus placebo (NNH = 17, p < 0.05). For both drugs, benefits were encountered more often than harms, with an LHH for any adverse event of 2.41 for brexpiprazole and 1.56 for aripiprazole, respectively. Conclusions: The likelihood to be helped rather than harmed was greater with brexpiprazole compared to aripiprazole for the total rate of adverse events (ratio of brexpiprazole LHH/aripiprazole LHH = 1.54).
