This paper presents data on the content of plastid pigments, the photosynthetic intensity and the assimilation number in Polytrichum commune Hedw. shoots of different ages in the Khibiny forest belt (PABGI, 67°38׳48״N, 33°38׳51״E) are presented. The concentration of chlorophylls changes seasonally: in this year’s shoots — gradually increases, reaching the highest value by fall; in the last year’s shoots — increases by the middle of the active vegetation period and does not change until the onset of cold weather. After overwintering, the pigment content in the shoots was 21 % lower. During the active vegetation period, the photosynthetic intensity in this year’s shoots is in 1,6 times higher than in the last year’s shoots. In autumn, the photosynthetic activity of the last year’s shoots is 2 times lower than in this year’s shoots. During the active vegetation period, the сhlorophyll’s efficiency is higher in this year’s shoots. Chlorophyll’s efficiency (assimilation number) in P. commune shoots of different ages in early spring is in 2 times higher than in fall.

Published: January 2022

The results of studying the number of microorganisms in the air above various species of aromatic plants, elements of flower bed and landscaping in the VILAR botanical garden are presented. It is shown that there are less microorganisms in the air above a flower bed created from aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants than in the air above the lawn by 1,4 times, and by 1,7–2,5 times than above the dirt and asphalt paths. The greatest antimicrobial effect was observed for Hyssopus officinalis L., Origanum vulgare L., Thymus serpyllum L. Due to the lack of specially trained personnel, mainly passive garden therapy is carried out.

“DESTRUCTION” AND “CREATION” CONCEPTIONS IN GAFUR KULAKHMETOV’S PLAYS
Authors: Шарипова Алсу Самигулловна , Шамсутова Алсу Атласовна
Published: January 2022

В статье предпринята попытка выявить идейно-эстетические особенности концепций «разрушение» и «созидание» в художественной картине мира татарского драматурга начала ХХ века Гафура Кулахметова. В работе применен герменевтический подход к анализу художественных явлений, а при изучении эпохи и личности драматурга - историко-культурный метод. Исследование выполнено на материале двух пьес Гафура Кулахметова - «Две мысли» и «Молодая жизнь». Изучение художественного воплощения этих концепций производится на основе анализа психологического и аналитического характера монологов и диалогов, метафорических образов, душевного состояния героев. Исследование показало, что проявление в татарской драматургии начала ХХ века сюжетов разрушения - это результат социально-политического влияния. Обнаруженные в тексте пьес Гафура Кулахметова элементы «драматургии масс» послужили для авторов основой для постановки проблемы взаимосвязи и взаимовлияния концепций «нового типа» человека и «разрушения-созидания», что и составляет новизну данного исследования. В ходе работы было выявлено, что художественно-эстетические мотивы «разрушения» и «созидания» являются важными категориями в картине мира татарского народа, носят исторический характер. Драматург в определенной степени призывает серьезно задуматься об их последствиях для продолжения жизни и развития общества. Авторами постулирована возможность расширения изучения концепций «разрушения» и «созидания» в творчестве других татарских писателей начала ХХ столетия.

This article focuses on the ideological and aesthetic features of the concepts “destruction” and “creation” in the Tatar playwright Gafur Kulakhmetov’s works. The authors employed hermeneutic approach to the analysis of literature phenomena, and historical-cultural method for investigation of the epoch and personality of the playwright. The study is performed on the two plays: “Two Thoughts” and “Young Life”. The study of the embodiment of these concepts is based on the analysis of the psychological and analytical monologues and dialogues, metaphorical images, and the psychological state of the characters. The study revealed that the manifestation of the “destruction” concept is the result of socio-political influence. The new elements of “drama for the masses” discovered in Gafur Kulakhmetov’s playsserved the basis for posing the problem of interconnection and mutual influence of the “new type” people concept and antagonism between “destruction” and “creation”, makes the current work relevant The study revealed that the artistic and aesthetic motives of “destruction” and “creation” are important categories in the world picture of the Tatar people. The playwright urges serious reflection on the consequences of destruction for the continuation of life and for the society development. The authors suggest further research onexpanding the study of the concepts “destruction” and “creation” in other Tatar writers’ works at the beginning of the 20th century.

We present an analysis of the first 20 second cadence light curves obtained by the TESS space telescope during its extended mission. We find improved precision of 20 second data compared to 2 minute data for bright stars when binned to the same cadence (≈10%–25% better for T ≲ 8 mag, reaching equal precision at T ≈ 13 mag), consistent with pre-flight expectations based on differences in cosmic-ray mitigation algorithms. We present two results enabled by this improvement. First, we use 20 second data to detect oscillations in three solar analogs (γ Pav, ζ Tuc, and π Men) and use asteroseismology to measure their radii, masses, densities, and ages to ≈1%, ≈3%, ≈1%, and ≈20% respectively, including systematic errors. Combining our asteroseismic ages with chromospheric activity measurements, we find evidence that the spread in the activity–age relation is linked to stellar mass and thus the depth of the convection zone. Second, we combine 20 second data and published radial velocities to recharacterize π Men c, which is now the closest transiting exoplanet for which detailed asteroseismology of the host star is possible. We show that π Men c is located at the upper edge of the planet radius valley for its orbital period, confirming that it has likely retained a volatile atmosphere and that the “asteroseismic radius valley” remains devoid of planets. Our analysis favors a low eccentricity for π Men c (<0.1 at 68% confidence), suggesting efficient tidal dissipation (Q/k
2,1 ≲ 2400) if it formed via high-eccentricity migration. Combined, these early results demonstrate the strong potential of TESS 20 second cadence data for stellar astrophysics and exoplanet science.
Dispossessing Animism: Zong! And Spiritual Baptism
Authors: Dickinson Philip
Published: January 2022

This essay intervenes in the emerging discussions around animism by situating animism within the ongoing projects of colonial bio- and necropolitics. While 'animism' is often taken to denote pre- or anti- or counter-modern cosmologies that promise an alternative to the ontologies that
sustain colonial violence, it has been recognised that there are in fact a variety of ways in which animism is 'built in' to modernity, and in which modernity itself is constituted as animistic. This essay pulls this recognition in a new direction by developing a theory of the 'distribution
of the animate', describing a system of animist perception and expression by which different kinds of bodies, beings and forces are positioned and differentiated. This theory allows me to explore a shared zone in which the apparently relentless materialism of colonial biopolitics and the supposedly
spiritual orientation of animism meet, collide and intertwine. This zone appears in this essay in a range of moments and modes, including the 'word' of possession in new world conquest, the anthropological invention of animism itself, the anticolonial resistance and spirit possession of the
Hauka, the transubstantiative magic of chattelisation and, via an extended close reading, the text and performance of Marlene NourbeSe Philip's long poem, Zong!. I show that animism is not really the other to colonial modernity: to say this is to buy into a foundational colonial myth.
Instead, what is at stake in the theoretical construct of animism are the qualities that distinguish one kind of life from another. The colonial systems for knowing the other (enshrined in anthropology) and dominating the other (exemplified by biopolitics) invent, recruit and disavow
animism in order to naturalise the denial of personhood to colonialism's others. My argument is that for animism to escape these systems of possession it has to become something other than animism, by affirming a dispossession (rather than distribution) of animacy. I locate this dispossession
in the sound and performance of Zong! and associate it with the poem's refusal of more familiar literary projects that try to reclaim and restore voice and personhood.
Due-window assignment scheduling with past-sequence-dependent setup times

Published: January 2022

This article investigates the due-window assignment scheduling problem with setup times on a single machine, where setup times of jobs are past-sequence-dependent. Under common, slack and unrestricted due-window assignment methods, the goal is to determine the optimal job sequence and due-window such that the cost function (i.e., the weighted sum of earliness and tardiness, number of early and tardy jobs, due-window starting time and size) is minimized. We solve the problem optimally by introducing a polynomial time algorithm. An extension to the problem with learning and deterioration effects is also studied.
Effect of travel restrictions, contact tracing and vaccination on control of emerging infectious diseases: transmission of COVID-19 as a case study

Patch models can better reflect the impact of spatial heterogeneity and population mobility on disease transmission. While, there is relatively little work on using patch models to study the role of travel restrictions, contact tracing and vaccination in COVID-19 epidemic. In this paper, based on COVID-19 epidemic propagation and diffusion mechanism, we establish a dynamic model of disease spread among two patches in which Wuhan is regarded as one patch and the rest of Mainland China (outside Wuhan) as the other patch. The existence of the final size is proved theoretically and some model parameters are estimated by using the reported confirmed cases. The results show that travel restrictions greatly reduce the number of confirmed cases in Mainland China, and the earlier enforced, the fewer confirmed cases. However, it is impossible to bring the COVID-19 epidemic under control and lift travel restrictions on April 8, 2020 by imposing travel restrictions alone, the same is true for contact tracing. While, the disease can always be controlled if the protection rate of herd immunity is high enough and the corresponding critical threshold is given. Therefore, in order to quickly control the spread of the emerging infectious disease (such as COVID-19), it is necessary to combine a variety of control measures and develop vaccines and therapeutic drugs as soon as possible.
Modelling of a seasonally perturbed competitive three species impulsive system

The population of biological species in the ecosystem is known sensitive to the periodic fluctuations of seasonal change, food resources and climatic conditions. Research in the ecological management discipline conventionally models the behavior of such dynamic systems through specific impulsive response functions, but the results of such research are applicable only when the environments conform exactly to the conditions as defined by the specific response functions that have been implemented for specific scenarios. This means that the application of previous work may be somewhat limited. Moreover, the intra and inter competitions among species have been seldom studied for modelling the prey-predator ecosystem. To fill in the gaps this paper models the delicate balance of two-prey and one-predator system by addressing three main areas of: ⅰ) instead of using the specific impulse response this work models the ecosystem through a more general response function; ⅱ) to include the effects due to the competition between species and ⅲ) the system is subjected to the influences of seasonal factors. The seasonal factor has been implemented here in terms of periodic functions to represent the growth rates of predators. The sufficient condition for the local and global asymptotic stability of the prey-free periodic solution and the permanence of the system have been subsequently obtained by using the Comparison techniques and the Floquet theorems. Finally, the correctness of developed theories is verified by numerical simulation, and the corresponding biological explanation is given.
The Impact of Serious Game on the Nursing Students' Learning, Behavioral Engagement, and Motivation
Authors: EL Machtani EL Idrissi Wissam , Chemsi Ghizlane , EL Kababi Khadija , Radid Mohamed
Published: January 2022

Digital game-based learning is a ludic approach that has evolved through the development of information and communication technologies (ICT), making the learner an active participant in the virtual learning environment instead of a mere observer. It is an electronic simulation tool suitable for improving learning efficiency as well as learner engagement and motivation. The integration of this educational technology in the teaching and learning process can contribute to the construction of knowledge, the development of new skills and attitudes among students.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of serious game on the learning, behavioral engagement, and motivation of nursing students. To do this, we first conducted a study with a sample of 58 polyvalent nursing students divided into two groups; one experimental and the other as a control. Both groups benefited from the same content taught at a distance, however, the experimental group benefited from an online serious game after the course. By comparing the summative scores of the two groups using the Student's t-test, the results show that the serious game improved the students' clinical knowledge of pediatric nursing (t= -2.706,p=0.009). However, it did not have an effect on clinical skills (t= -0.373, p=0.711). As a second step, we have studied the impact of the game on the learners' behavioral engagement based on the analysis of the digital traces of the students' work. Meanwhile, the motivation is analyzed using a questionnaire developed from the ARCS scale of Killer (2010), which is distributed to the experimental group. By comparing the means and deviation standards, the results show that the students give the satisfaction factor the highest score (4.71±0.34) followed by the relevance, attention, and confidence factors.

To obtain reliable results, however, it is necessary to repeat the serious game experience in several nursing modules. In addition, the impact of combining serious game with simulation on the learning of nursing students should be studied.
Evolution of the criminological profile of the Islamic terrorist. The European response for the prevention of the new jihadist criminal
Authors: Campioni Maria , Mastronardi Vincenzo M.
Published: January 2022

The threat of the new century brings the face of men and women, driven to subversion by an extreme idea, because of misinterpretation. They are an army fighting an asymmetrical conflict at while international relations have changed. Jihad, which is why Al Qaeda has shed blood for years, has now evolved, adapting itself to society, instrumentalizing the religious concept, the cornerstone of Islamist values. But who is the criminal you are looking for? How does he move? And how recognize him? These questions have been answered by analyzing the jihadist profiles, already available and the events of the last few years in order to have medium-long term projections. Fulcrum of the evolution of the jihadist soldier is the birth of the Isis and the media propaganda. The greatest attention is paid to the younger ones, as they are more influential on virtual platforms and migration flows. Europe recognizes the risk of radicalization on its territory, already victim of numerous attacks, and although it does not yet have a common governance of action against this threat, it has adopted prevention plans consisting of integration, information, re-education and democracy. From Italy comes the scientific study, operating on three levels, which suggests the method of action for an effective prevention. The objective is to make more fluent cooperation between criminology and counteraction by the combination of the elements of this paper.
Forensic linguistics. Reality Monitoring and Criteria Based Content Analysis (CBCA): comparison between methods
Authors: Mastronardi Vincenzo M. , De Vincentis Monica
Published: January 2022

Forensic linguistics is about the analysis of written, oral or non-verbal language in the legal field. For this purpose it employs tools finalised to the quantification and qualification of information. Among those we find Reality Monitoring, that discriminates between internal and external memories; Criteria Based Content Analysis, which uses nineteen criteria to verify the authenticity of a speech; Statement Validity Analysis; Scientific Content Analysis; Step Wise Interview. The comparison between these disciplines (and an overview on those) is preceded by important observations about cognitive and mnemonic processes and the role of the interviewer in the collection of testimony.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in medicine
Authors: Mastronardi Vincenzo M. , De Vincentis Monica
Published: January 2022

TMS, that stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an innovative therapy based on electromagnetic stimulation of the nervous system. Although initially invented for neuropsychiatric pathologies, recent studies have proven it to be applicable to other areas of medicine as well, including oncology. It is now since 1971 that Vincenzo Mastronardi dedicates to research about the potential presence of electromagnetic messages in healthy organs (as all organs send electric and electromagnetic waves: skin, liver, kidneys, brain, prostate, etc.). Recording said messages and entering them with peculiar vehicular strategies in a more receptive organic state, like electromagnetic fields, clinic hypnosis, electrosleep, etc., it could be possible to contribute to the organ’s recovery. Nowadays, evolved studies have taken their first steps from this assumption. The modern uses of electromagnetic waves employed in the clinical field in multiple universities and hospitals are going to be briefly resumed here.

Published: January 2022

The clinical epidemiology of adults admitted with reduced level of consciousness (LOC) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the impact of HIV infection on the risk of mortality in this population is unknown. We secondarily analyzed data from a cohort study that enrolled 359 consecutive adults with reduced LOC presenting to Mbarara Regional Hospital in Uganda with the aim of comparing the prognostic utility of the Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) score to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Score. For this analysis, we included 336 individuals with known HIV serostatus, obtaining clinical, laboratory, and follow-up data. We recorded investigations and treatments deemed critical by clinicians for patient care but were unavailable. We computed mortality rates and used logistic regression to determine predictors of 30-day mortality. The median GCS was 10. Persons living with HIV infection (PLWH) accounted for 97 of 336 (29%) of the cohort. The 30-day mortality rate in the total cohort was 148 of 329 (45%), and this was significantly higher in PLWH (57% versus 40%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.39: 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31–4.35, P = 0.0046). Other predictors of mortality were presence of any unmet clinical need (aOR 1.72; 95% CIL 1.04–2.84, P = 0.0346), anemia (aOR 1.68; 95% CI: 1.01–2.81, P = 0.047), and admission FOUR score < 12 [aOR 4.26; 95% CI: 2.36–7.7, P < 0.0001). Presentation with reduced LOC in Uganda is associated with high mortality rates, with worse outcomes in PLWH. Improvement of existing acute care services is likely to improve outcomes.
Coping, Social Support, and Caregiver Well-Being With Families Living With SCI: A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Ryerson Espino Susan L. , O’Rourke Kerry , Kelly Erin H. , January Alicia M. , Vogel Lawrence C.

Objectives:

To explore coping, problem solving, social support, and well-being among family caregivers of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods:

This was a mixed methods study (qualitative interviews and standardized surveys) with a diverse sample of 39 adults with SCI and their caregivers from four rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, including one Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital. Cluster analysis was used to explore whether distinct profiles of caregivers could be identified, and it was used in conjunction with qualitative data to explore patterns in well-being. Measures of well-being included leisure time satisfaction, social integration, anxiety, depression, physical health complaints, caregiver burden, and quality of life.

Results:

The importance of individual and extra-individual resources, namely coping and social support, emerged from early qualitative analyses and guided subsequent mixed methods examination of the data. A cluster analysis yielded three caregiver profiles: (1) effective problem solvers with moderate satisfaction with social support, (2) mixed problem solvers with stronger negative orientations and mixed satisfaction with social support, and (3) low endorsers overall. Profiles helped us explore patterns across our data set and efficiently identify differences in caregiver social support, coping, well-being, and unmet needs.

Conclusion:

Data echo the need for multimodal interventions aimed at skill development, respite options, and screening, support, information, and referral around mental health and burden. SCI care and rehabilitation programs should consider incorporating strategies for bolstering effective caregiver problem-solving skills, reducing negativity and ambivalence, and enhancing social support.
SmartPLS mediation moderation model: Integrated the entrepreneurial performance of textile-based small-medium enterprises
Authors:   Jiangsu University, China, Ashraf Sheikh Farhan

The core purpose of this study is to explore the effects of knowledge management practices and the dynamic capabilities of entrepreneurs on the entrepreneurial performance of small-medium enterprises (SMEs). This study gathered the required information using a structured survey from textile-based small-medium enterprises and applied a structural equation model to analyze 486 valid responses from Pakistan. The empirical results show that knowledge management practices, such as knowledge sharing behavior, innovative capacity, and absorptive capacity, are significantly correlated with developing entrepreneurs’ dynamic capability, thus improving their performance. At the same time, this study also confirms that opportunity recognition positively affects the relationship between the dynamic capability and entrepreneurial performance of SMEs. In addition, the findings of this study guide business practitioners and policymakers in strategy formulation envisioned to encourage entrepreneurs who contribute to the country’s sustainable economic growth. This study contributes to the existing literature of knowledge management practices with knowledge sharing behavior, innovative capacity, absorptive capacity, and more intended to involve the role of opportunity recognition.
FRINGES OF THE NARRATOURBOLOGICAL BELGRADE: DETECTIVE FICTION AND THE SWERVE AWAY FROM THE URBAN
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Bubanja Nikola
Published: January 2022

Narratourbological mapping foregoes the idea of the literary as nostalgically turned towards the natural and away from the industrial in favour of the idea of the literary as historically moving toward the urban, and participating in its construal. Detective fiction, at the same time, appears a genre inherently urban, from the early modern, to the contemporary instances (from the prototypical Dupin to Auster’s Quinn). Mapping and accordingly analysing Christie’s popular detective’s short stopover at Belgrade and its context, however, allows an opportunity for reading it as gesturing away from the urban. The plotted line of movement of Christie’s fiction, though connecting urban entities, takes centre stage, drawing away from its subservient construing points. The scarce, short urban stopovers are exposed as representations not of the urban, but of leaving the urban. The excluded urban is argued to have been relegated to the role of quasi-retarding devices (foreshadowed or hind sighted) images and counterpoints of the fiction’s ‘grand arrest’ – the fatal (and final) stop containing both the crime and its solving, outside of the urban.
ZNACI PESNIČKOG KONCEPTA U RANIM ESEJIMA MIODRAGA PAVLOVIĆA
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Despić Đorđe M.
Published: January 2022

On the example of a few essays from the first essay collection The Deadlines of Poetry (orig. Rokovi poezije) by Miodrag Pavlović, the paper tries to signify the indications of a future poetic principle. An analytical overview of their reading and interpretation of William Butler Yeats’s and Vasko Popa’s poetries, as well as certain theoretical and fundamental reconsideration of the literature work and poetic forms, indicate important early archi-textual traces of Pavlović’s poetic concept. Within the context of Pavlović’s opus, the paper aspires to emphasize evident correspondence occurring between an essay level and a poetic level of his work, i.e. artistic implications of his critic-essay insights. This kind of observed congruence between his essayistic and poetic plan is featured at the level of the essayistic point of view and experience of the poetic art especially, as an effort toward enclosing the whole human experience, which will later be incarnated in Pavlović’s very poetry through topics of various civilizational intersections, which are given in an epic range from ancient and biblical spheres to pagan and Christian worlds.
„KAD BIH BIO ISTORIČAR“: VULKANI I ISTORIJA U ROMANU „KOD HIPERBOREJACA“ MILOŠA CRNjANSKOG
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Nikolić Časlav V.
Published: January 2022

When we repeat the question of Wilhelm Dilthey about the possibility of historical cog- nition with Peter Sloterdijk, our interpretation will shed light on the perspective of the heroes in the novel At Hyperboreans by Miloš Crnjanski. This hero thinks of himself as a historian by taking into account what preceded written history. What precedes official history is not only what has not been recorded in human existence, but above all those values ​​that establish our planet. The comprehensive historical opinion about Italy and Rome, as Crnjanski examines in fiction, also implies a geological understanding of the Italian peninsula. Insights into the genesis of the soil can be seen in what shapes the conditions in which culture is created. That is why Crnjanski says that volcanoes define the beginning of Italian civilization. When the story of the beginning becomes the story of volcanoes, the narrative transforms historical thinking. From the historical, anthropogonic and polytygonic consciousness, that opinion opens to cos- mogonic phenomena. In this paper, narrative and symbolic aspects of the geological drama of our world are examined as elements of the apocalyptic image of Rome before the beginning of the Second World War.
SUSRET STVARALAČKIH IMAGINACIJA JERONIMA BOŠA I NOVICE TADIĆA
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Mladenović Jelena S.
Published: January 2022

The famous Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450 – 1516) and the contemporary Serbian poet Novica Tadić (1949 – 2011) are related through the most significant characteristics of their works – the presence of the creative imagination which made similar apocalyptic scenes and diabolical characters both on canvas and on paper. Using transmedial theories, we can see the transmission of the painting techniques in shaping of Tadic’s descriptive narratives. This painter whose work belongs to the High Renaissance and Mannerism made, with his grotesquely shaped half-human, half-animal and half-demon beings, an arc from “the autumn of the Middle Ages” and the upcoming Renaissance to the Baroque. Five centuries later, his metaphors, inter- preted in many ways, receive an epitome in the poetic images of Tadić’s hellish bestiary, contin- uing an intriguing dialogue with religion. Guided by Guy Scarpetta’s theoretical assumption of “the return of the Baroque”, in this paper we will try to show that those two artists are more associated with the tendency to represent the reality as an illusion, and to create an impression of unreality of the real world, than with the similarity of their images.
AVANGARDNI MANIFESTI I UBRZANjE KNjIŽEVNOSTI
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Bošković Dragan
Published: January 2022

The paper explores the phenomenon of speed in literature as radically represented within the framework of avant-garde texts. The modernist acceleration of literature is immanent in the poetics of manifestos: their programmatic insistence on acceleration, their (meta)dis- cursive character, simultaneous production of narrative and poetic syntax, and questioning the possibility of writing. Such fourfold functioning of avant-garde discourse (producing the discourse and commenting on it, programmatic narration and pure narration), comparative to a four-stroke engine operation cycle, singularly dynamizes, accelerates both the manifesto discourse and the fictitious-poetic narration, therefore vigorously “revving the engine” of lit- erature. This is what the paper wants, to speak up about the speed of literature, about the avant-garde and modernist acceleration.
