Authors: Amalia Firdha
Published: June 2022

ABSTRAKPengembangan potensi wisata di Kota Malang yang padat penduduk, salah satunya diwujudkan dengan mengembangkan konsep kampung tematik. Kampung Wisata Jodipan (KWJ) adalah salah satu dari 20 kampung tematik di Kota Malang yang berperan sebagai pemrakarsa lahirnya kampung tematik lainnya. Mengusung tema warna-warni, KWJ dibentuk berdasar ide dari sekelompok mahasiswa dengan menggandeng perusahaan cat PT Indana serta mendapat dukungan partisipasi aktif warga setempat. Kampung yang dahulu merupakan permukiman kumuh dan terancam penggusuran ini telah menjadi kampung dengan tampilan penuh warna. Perubahan yang kentara ini menjadi perhatian dan buah bibir masyarakat hingga perlahan menjadikannya salah satu objek wisata di Kota Malang. Kawasan permukiman yang telah bertambah fungsi menjadi area wisata sedikit banyak memengaruhi kehidupan sehari-hari warga dan berpotensi mengubah batas ruang personal warga. Guna mengetahui perubahan tersebut, dilakukan penelitian kualitatif dengan wawancara terhadap warga Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan yang telah menetap jauh sebelum dilakukan penambahan fungsi wisata. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan, didapati tiga fase perubahan persepsi ruang personal yang terbentuk seiring dengan fase-fase perubahan kondisi permukiman.Changes in Perception of Personal Space Residents of Jodipan Malang Tourism VillageABSTRACTThe development of tourism in Malang, which has a high density of urban population, was realized by developing the thematic tourism village concept. Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan (KWJ) is the first colourful-themed tourism village in Malang. KWJ was formed and initiated by a group of students. By cooperating with the paint company and the active participation of the local community, all parties involved together made the village which was once a slum and threatened with eviction become a village with an attractive colourful display. This noticeable change became the attention and the talk of the people until slowly making it one of the attractions in the city of Malang. The residential area has become a tourist area, and it possibly influences the daily lives of citizens. This condition has the potential to change the personal boundaries of residents. To know the change, a qualitative study was conducted by interviewing the residents of Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan who had settled long before the addition of the tourist function. From the interview-based research conducted, three phases of change in perception of personal space were found along with phases of changes in settlement conditions.
Intertextuality as a Rhetorical Device in American Politicians’ Inaugural Addresses: Functional-Linguistic Analysis
Authors: Svetonosova T. A.
Published: June 2022

The present article aims to identify stylistic figures, providing intertextual connections of American presidents’ inaugural addresses with other texts which are of great importance to the USA and the American nation. Stylistic figures are figurative and expressive means of connecting texts of the past with texts of the present. The stylistic figures “allusion”, “application”, “paraphrase”, and “citation” have been analysed in the inaugural addresses delivered by four American presidents (2001–2021) – George Bush Jr., Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joseph Biden. These stylistic figures determine intertextual contacts of the inaugural addresses with the texts which characterize the country’s historical and modern development – the United States Declaration of Independence, John Page’s letter to Thomas Jefferson, the Constitution of the United States, the past Presidents’ speeches, patriotic songs. Inaugural addresses form a well-established genre in political discourse, and this genre is aimed at integrating and inspiring the people as well as at performing and establishing President’s and his administration’s general policies. The analysis of the genre of the “inaugural address” is an integral part of political discourse research. Political discourse is perceived as a system of communication that has real and virtual measures. The analysis of stylistic figures which provide intertextual connections belongs to the study of the virtual measure of political discourse – its semiotic area. The analysis conducted in the article is based on political discourse research, intertextuality theory, critical discourse analysis theory as well as on practical papers on presidential communication. This article’s methodology includes methods of observation, deduction, induction, controlled sampling, and the method of discourse analysis. Having analyzed the inaugural addresses and having identified the stylistic figures which incorporate other texts into the inaugural addresses, the author concludes that, firstly, the ideas and principles formulated in the past and implemented in the country’s development concept are sacred and unshakeable, and secondly, these ideas and principles have a great impact on the American nation’s consolidation and integration.

Authors: Spirina Anastasiya Sergeevna
Published: June 2022

The subject of the work is the characteristic of network corruption and social trust in the Altai Territory. The analysis of social trust is based on the characteristics of generalized, institutional and particular trust. Network corruption is analyzed through the experience of the population using personal connections to solve their problems in seven areas: education, medicine, housing maintenance/repair services, social protection, police, work and obtaining registrations/various licenses. The purpose of the work is to characterize social trust and network corruption in the Altai Territory and to determine the presence/absence of differences in indicators of network corruption depending on the level of social trust. The research method was a questionnaire survey of the urban and rural population of the Altai Territory aged 18-70 years (n = 1200). To confirm the logic of statistical conclusions, a comparative analysis and analysis of conjugacy tables were carried out. The classification analysis method "classification trees" was also used. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the experience of using personal connections in education, social protection and in obtaining registrations / licenses differs depending on the place of residence of the population and the level of social trust. In particular, in the situation of using personal connections in the field of education, the territorial place of residence of the population, generalized and institutional trust are significant; in the sphere of the social protection system, generalized, institutional trust and the age of the population; when solving issues of obtaining registrations / licenses, particular trust and the place of residence of the population. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the role of social trust on the indicators of network corruption in regional society.
People With Knee Osteoarthritis Attending Physical Therapy Have Broad Education Needs and Prioritize Information About Surgery and Exercise: A Concept Mapping Study
Authors: Goff Anthony J. , Donaldson Alex , de Oliveira Silva Danilo , Crossley Kay M. , Barton Christian J.
Published: June 2022

Objectives

To (1) identify the education priorities of people with knee osteoarthritis, including perceived importance and confidence that a health care professional can address each, and (2) match priorities to education-specific content recommendations in knee osteoarthritis management guidelines.

Design

Concept mapping methodology.

Methods

Participants generated, sorted (based on themes), and rated (5-point Likert scales: importance and confidence) education priorities. Multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis of sorting data produced a cluster map with overarching domains. Priorities were matched against education-specific content recommendations in knee osteoarthritis guidelines.

Results

Participants (brainstorming, n = 43; sorting and rating, n = 24) generated 76 priorities. A 4-domain, 11-cluster map was the most useful representation of sorting data: (i) understanding treatment options (relationship of education and exercise with surgery, adjunct options, treatment decision making); (ii) exercise therapy (how to exercise, why exercise); (iii) understanding and managing the condition (symptom management, understanding symptoms, understanding the condition); and (4) surgical, medical, and dietary management (surgery, medications, diet and supplements). The “relationship of education and exercise with surgery” (3.88/5), “surgery” (3.86/5), and “how to exercise” (3.78/5) clusters were rated highest for importance. Few priorities identified by participants were clearly recommended as education-specific content recommendations in the American College of Rheumatology (3%, n = 2/76), European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (12%, n = 9/76), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (16%, n = 12/76), and Osteoarthritis Research Society International (1%, n = 1/76) guidelines.

Conclusion

People with knee osteoarthritis presenting to physical therapists have broad education needs and prioritize information about surgery and exercise. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(9):595–606. Epub: 17 June 2022. doi:10.2519/jospt.2022.11089

Authors: Varghese Neethu Helan , Nettiyath Venugopalan
Published: June 2022

Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is an uncommon X-linked genodermatosis, with an estimated prevalence at birth of 0.7/100,000, caused by mutations in the NEMO gene. Ectodermic and mesodermic origin of tissue is seen in this systemic disease including cutaneous tissue, teeth, eyes, and the central nervous system. Herein, we present a case of a female newborn with inflammatory vesiculopustular lesions all over the body. This baby also had ocular, and CNS manifestations as well. The importance of a detailed diagnostic workup for the newborns with pustular skin disease has been highlighted in this case. IP is a rare, x-linked dominant genodermatosis with the involvement of multiple organs. Dermatological abnormalities are the most prominent manifestation. The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings of skin lesion brain imaging and biopsy. The skin lesions do not require specific treatment and prognosis depend on other organ involvement.
Incidence of radiographic scoliosis in asymptomatic young Pakistani adults
Authors: Junaid Muhammad , Kishwar Jafri Syeda Kubra , Bukhari Syed Sarmad , Kulsoom Anisa
Published: June 2022

Background:

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common scoliotic deformity of young adults. Screening of AIS is performed as part of the routine preemployment examination for physically demanding positions. We attempted to establish the incidence of clinically overt scoliosis in an adolescent (16 years old) and young adult (21 years old) population.

Methods:

We clinically and radiographically (X-rays) evaluated 85 applicants for physically demanding jobs in two age groups: those 16 versus those 21 years of age. Cobb’s angles and kyphosis angles were measured for each group. These data were then categorized into three grades based on radiographically documented scoliotic curvatures.

Results:

Most 16 years old demonstrated normal Cobb’s angles (90.56%), but kyphosis angles of 20–30° (40.27%). For the 21 years old, most participants had normal Cobb’s angles (93.75%), but exhibited higher than normal kyphosis angles (50%).

Conclusion:

Most young adults ages 16–21 years applying for physically demanding work were “fit.” However, the incidence of kyphosis was higher among the 21 years old population. Such screening for idiopathic scoliosis should be more stringently performed in younger patients applying for physically demanding work.
Pneumocephalus after subcutaneous emphysema
Authors: Alharbi Ahoud , Khairy Sami , Alkhani Ahmed
Published: June 2022

Background:

Pneumocephalus is the presence of air in the intracranial cavity secondary to communication with the extracranial compartment. It occurs spontaneously, after trauma, or after a cranial surgery.

Case Description:

A 62-year-old female, a known case of diabetes mellitus, presented to our emergency department with a sudden thunderclap headache. She was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Twenty days later, she developed pneumonia and subsequently had a cardiac arrest. She was revived after 26 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. She developed pneumothorax requiring a chest tube insertion. After the first trial, she developed a diffuse subcutaneous emphysema, and the chest tube was reinserted. Afterward, she became unresponsive with dilated pupils. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain showed a diffuse subcutaneous emphysema reaching up to the face with air around the ventriculoperitoneal shunt distal catheter and extending through the burr hole to the ventricles causing pneumocephalus. There was no evidence of skull base fractures on brain CT. Unfortunately, the patient did not recover and passed away 3 days later.

Conclusion:

This report describes the presentation and radiological findings of an interesting case of pneumocephalus following iatrogenic diffuse subcutaneous emphysema. It aims to increase the emphasis on early anticipation of such rare complication after subcutaneous emphysema.

Araştırmanın verileri oransal örnekleme ile 66 üreticiden anket yöntemiyle derlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde işletmeler öncelikle sağmal hayvan sayısına göre üç gruba ayrılmıştır. 5 ve daha az sağmal hayvana sahip işletmeler I. grubu (23 işletme), 6-10 arasında sağmal hayvanı olan işletmeler II. grubu (26 işletme), 11 baş ve daha fazla sağmal hayvanı olan işletmeler ise III. grubu (17 işletme) oluşturmuştur. Veriler değerlendirilirken basit ortalamalar ve yüzde hesaplarından yararlanılmıştır. İncelenen işletmelerde üreticilerin hayvancılık desteklerine yönelik görüş, beklenti ve memnuniyetlerinin değerlendirilmesinde Likert ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, süt sığırcılığının daha iyi hale gelmesi için nasıl bir destekleme aracının kullanılması gerektiğinin belirlenmesinde Best-Worst analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada gruplar arası farklılık olup olmadığı istatistiksel olarak da test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, üreticilerin yaş ortalaması 43.56 yıl, eğitim süresi ortalaması ise 6.62 yıl olarak saptanmıştır. İşletmelerin ortalama arazi genişliği 141.30 dekardır. İşletmelerde ortalama 5.19 baş yerli inek, 7.94 baş kültür ineği, 8.29 baş melez inek bulunmakla beraber ortalama sağmal hayvan sayısı 7.14 baştır. Hayvan başına ortalama günlük süt verimi 15.58 kg’dır. Ortalama süt satış fiyatı 1.70 TL/kg’dır. İşletmelerin %82.3’ü yem bitkileri desteğinden, %85.5’i diğer hayvancılık desteklerinden yararlandığını belirtmiştir. Üreticiler desteklerin gelirlerini etkilediğini düşünmektedirler. Üreticilerin hayvancılık destekleri içinde en yeterli gördükleri destek buzağı desteğidir. Bununla birlikte, incelenen işletmelerin %77.3’ü hayvancılık destekleme politikalarını başarılı bulmadığını belirtmiştir. Süt sığırcılığına yönelik destekleme politikaları gözden geçirilmeli ve desteklerin AB’ndeki hayvancılık destekleme düzeylerine yükseltilmesi sağlanmalıdır.
Decidability of ALCP(D) for concrete domains with the EHD-property
Authors: Carapelle Claudia , Turhan Anni-Yasmin
Published: June 2022

Reasoning for Description logics with concrete domains and w.r.t. general TBoxes easily becomes undecidable. For particular, restricted concrete domains decidablity can be regained. We introduce a novel way to integrate a concrete domain D into the well-known description logic ALC, we call the resulting logic ALCP(D). We then identify sufficient conditions on D that guarantee decidability of the satisfiability problem, even in the presence of general TBoxes. In particular, we show decidability of ALCP(D) for several domains over the integers, for which decidability was open. More generally, this result holds for all negation-closed concrete domains with the EHD-property, which stands for the existence of a homomorphism is definable. Such technique has recently been used to show decidability of CTL with local constraints over the integers.
Approximately Solving Set Equations

Published: June 2022

Unification with constants modulo the theory ACUI of an associative (A), commutative (C) and idempotent (I) binary function symbol with a unit (U) corresponds to solving a very simple type of set equations. It is well-known that solvability of systems of such equations can be decided in polynomial time by reducing it to satisfiability of propositional Horn formulae. Here we introduce a modified version of this problem by no longer requiring all equations to be completely solved, but allowing for a certain number of violations of the equations. We introduce three different ways of counting the number of violations, and investigate the complexity of the respective decision problem, i.e., the problem of deciding whether there is an assignment that solves the system with at most l violations for a given threshold value l.
On the Complexity of Verifying Timed Golog Programs over Description Logic Actions (Extended Version)
Authors: Zarrieß Benjamin , Koopmann Patrick
Published: June 2022

Golog programs allow to model complex behaviour of agents by combining primitive actions defined in a Situation Calculus theory using imperative and non-deterministic programming language constructs. In general, verifying temporal properties of Golog programs is undecidable. One way to establish decidability is to restrict the logic used by the program to a Description Logic (DL), for which recently some complexity upper bounds for verification problem have been established. However, so far it was open whether these results are tight, and lightweight DLs such as EL have not been studied at all. Furthermore, these results only apply to a setting where actions do not consume time, and the properties to be verified only refer to the timeline in a qualitative way. In a lot of applications, this is an unrealistic assumption. In this work, we study the verification problem for timed Golog programs, in which actions can be assigned differing durations, and temporal properties are specified in a metric branching time logic. This allows to annotate temporal properties with time intervals over which they are evaluated, to specify for example that some property should hold for at least n time units, or should become specified within some specified time window. We establish tight complexity bounds of the verification problem for both expressive and lightweight DLs. Our lower bounds already apply to a very limited fragment of the verification problem, and close open complexity bounds for the non-metrical cases studied before.
Most specific consequences in the description logic EL
Authors: Kriegel Francesco
Published: June 2022

The notion of a most specific consequence with respect to some terminological box is introduced, conditions for its existence in the description logic EL and its variants are provided, and means for its computation are developed. Algebraic properties of most specific consequences are explored. Furthermore, several applications that make use of this new notion are proposed and, in particular, it is shown how given terminological knowledge can be incorporated in existing approaches for the axiomatization of observations. For instance, a procedure for an incremental learning of concept inclusions from sequences of interpretations is developed.
Joining implications in formal contexts and inductive learning in a Horn description logic (Extended Version)
Authors: Kriegel Francesco
Published: June 2022

A joining implication is a restricted form of an implication where it is explicitly specified which attributesmay occur in the premise and in the conclusion, respectively. A technique for sound and complete axiomatization of joining implications valid in a given formal context is provided. In particular, a canonical base for the joining implications valid in a given formal context is proposed, which enjoys the property of being of minimal cardinality among all such bases. Background knowledge in form of a set of valid joining implications can be incorporated. Furthermore, an application to inductive learning in a Horn description logic is proposed, that is, a procedure for sound and complete axiomatization of Horn-M concept inclusions from a given interpretation is developed. A complexity analysis shows that this procedure runs in deterministic exponential time.
Restricted Unification in the DL FL₀ (Extended Version)
Authors: Baader Franz , Gil Oliver Fernández , Rostamigiv Maryam
Published: June 2022

Unification in the Description Logic (DL) FL₀ is known to be ExpTimecomplete, and of unification type zero. We investigate in this paper whether a lower complexity of the unification problem can be achieved by either syntactically restricting the role depth of concepts or semantically restricting the length of role paths in interpretations. We show that the answer to this question depends on whether the number formulating such a restriction is encoded in unary or binary: for unary coding, the complexity drops from ExpTime to PSpace. As an auxiliary result, which is however also of interest in its own right, we prove a PSpace-completeness result for a depth-restricted version of the intersection emptiness problem for deterministic root-to-frontier tree automata. Finally, we show that the unification type of FL₀ improves from type zero to unitary (finitary) for unification without (with) constants in the restricted setting.
Two Ways of Explaining Negative Entailments in Description Logics Using Abduction (Extended Version)
Authors: Koopmann Patrick
Published: June 2022

We discuss two ways of using abduction to explain missing entailments from description logic knowledge bases, one more common, one more unusual, and then have a closer look at how current results/implementations on abduction could be used towards generating such explanations, and what still needs to be done.
Revisiting the Stereoselectivity in Organoborane Rearrangement

Published: June 2022

Hydroboration of 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene (A) and successive rearrangements yield not only tertiary alkylboranes but also primary and secondary ones. In addition, nontypical anti-addition products are detected, whose formation mechanism is not apparent. Herein, we revisit three mechanisms proposed in the literature: an elimination and readdition, an intramolecular process involving an intermediate π-complex, and an intramolecular migration. According to our computations, the formation of all products starts from the tertiary alkylborane obtained by hydroboration of olefin A. This alkylborane then undergoes a sequence of further retrohydroborations and hydroborations in a syn fashion. Interestingly, the conformational changes on the ring affect these transformations and decide the rearrangement mechanism. Free olefin intermediates are generated during these reactions, which are then rehydroborated from their opposite faces, explaining the formation of anti-addition products. Moreover, the temperature effect on the rearrangement reactions is also analyzed.

Published: June 2022

Aim. To compare the features of the course of the disease and the therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who meet the criteria of difficult-to-treat RA (D2T).
Materials and methods. The study included 505 RA patients (ACR/EULAR 2010). Rheumatologist experts discussed all patients, since the treatment of RA ware perceived as problematic and/or insufficient. All patients had at least one of the following signs: the activity of the disease is no lower than moderate; the inability to reduce the dose of glucocorticoids to low; rapid radiological progression; RA symptoms causing a decrease in quality of life. The D2T group included 35 patients with true inefficiency or intolerance of two or more of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs of different mechanism of action. The control group (K) included patients with RA who already had experience of taking at least one class of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs (n=291).
Results. On average, every 15 patients (7%) with RA met the EULAR criteria for D2T. The median age of patients in the D2T group was 45 years, which is less than in K (Me 54 [43; 62] years; p=0.046). The duration of RA in both groups was comparable. The severity of articular destruction in D2T was higher than in K (stage IV in 40% and 23%, respectively). Positivity for the RF and ACPA in D2T was less common than in K (60% and 85.9%; 60% and 76.6%, respectively). The presence of systemic manifestations of RA was more typical for K than for D2T (28.6% and 63%, p=0.0001). In the group of D2T patients, the number of previously taken DMARDs was higher than in K (p=0.002). Methotrexate was more often prescribed as the first DMARDs in both groups (in 62.9 and 65.7%, respectively). Initiation of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs therapy in D2T was more often performed by TNF-a inhibitors (OR 2.8; p=0.003) and co-stimulation blocker abatacept (OR 4.6; p=0.004), and in control by B-cell inhibitor rituximab (OR 6.9; p0.0001).
Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that in Russia, as well as abroad, the principle of RA treatment treat to target has not yet become widespread, and the development of adequate therapy takes too much time.

Aim. To evaluate the frequency of different body composition phenotypes, physical performance (PP) and their relationship with quality of life in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Materials and methods. The study included 157 women (average age 58.68.8 years) with RA. Clinical and laboratory examination, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, quality of life assessment according to the questionnaires EQ-5D (European Quality of Life Questionnaire), HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and RAID (Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease), determination of muscle strength and the PP of skeletal muscles were carried out.
Results. Osteoporotic, sarcopenic and osteosarcopenic phenotypes of body composition were identified in 27 (17%), 16 (10%) and 16 (10%) patients, respectively; 139 (88.5%) people had low muscle strength, and 96 (61.1%) had reduced PP. Quality of life according to the EQ-5D index and RAID, the severity of depression according to HADS in women with different phenotypes of body composition did not differ. Women with osteosarcopenic phenotype had worse indicators for EQ-5D-VAS (VAS visual analog scale), and patients with sarcopenic phenotype had more severe anxiety according to the HADS questionnaire compared to those with normal phenotype (p=0.014 and p=0.027, respectively). The quality of life according to all questionnaires was significantly worse in patients with reduced PP.
Conclusion. Pathological phenotypes of body composition were found in 37% of RA patients. A decrease in muscle strength was revealed in 88.5%, and a low PP in 61.1% of patients. The relationship between quality of life and body composition has not been established, at the same time quality of life associated with the PP of skeletal muscles.
