Correlation of the Religious and the Paranormal Beliefs to Personality
Authors: Dr. Malik Roshan Ara
Published: September 2020

Beliefs happen to be the most significant indicators of a person’s overall personality and provide us a window on his mental constructs. The study of the paranormal activities and phenomena has been riddled with controversy since its conception and previous researches revealed mixed and contradictory findings. The present study focuses to study correlation between Religious beliefs, paranormal beliefs and the personality factors across different religious groups, among individuals of different age groups and socio-economic status. Significant positive correlation was found between religiosity and paranormal beliefs as well as between religiosity and the traditional religious beliefs, psi and witchcraft subscales of the paranormal beliefs scale. Results also report a negative correlation between religious beliefs and the spiritualism, extraordinary-life-forms and precognition subscales of the paranormal beliefs scale. Neuroticism was found to be the only personality factor significantly predicting paranormal beliefs. Muslims scored higher on the traditional religious beliefs subscale in comparison with the Hindus. On the other hand, among the Hindus a higher degree of endorsement of witch-craft was observed. However, so far as the Christians are concerned no significant differences were observed either on global paranormal beliefs or any of the subscales of the paranormal beliefs. Socially marginal groups were found to be more susceptible to paranormal beliefs. They scored higher on psi, witchcraft, superstition, spiritualism, precognition as well as the total- paranormal beliefs scale.

Published: September 2020

Oral malignancies are a group of dangerous disease affecting the oral cavity. The subtypes of oral malignancies have distinctive aetiology, epidemiology and multi-year endurance rate. This retrospective study included subjects who reported to the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology in Saveetha Dental College from July 2019 - March 2020. Data on age, gender, lesion site, habit profile and diagnosis were recorded and analysed for Pearson’s chi-square correlation test between demographic data and oral malignancies. A total of 83 cases were included in the study in which 80 (96.3%) are carcinomas, and 3 (3.75%) are other malignancies. The correlation between the oral malignancy diagnosis and demographic data - age, gender, site and habit showed statistically insignificant (p>0.05) results with p-value = 0.802, 0.898, 0.07and 0.817 respectively. Our study demonstrated that predominance of oral malignancies was seen in the fifth - the seventh decade of life with more propensity towards the male population, and buccal mucosa was identified as the most common site. This study reflects the need to create awareness among the general population regarding the burden of disease and the possibility of preventing it.

Authors: Dhivyadharshini J  , Ezhilarasan  , Jayalakshmi Somasundaram
Published: September 2020

Oral diseases play a serious challenge to public health around the world. When left untreated, both the mouth and also the remaining the body would be adversely affected by oral diseases. Different treatment modalities are available for various dental diseases, but the most downside of those modern drug treatments are the frequent side effects related to their use. This has contributed to renewing interest in the development of novel plant-derived anti-infective natural compounds. Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory agent that occurs naturally, with different biological and medicinal properties. It has proven anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hepato-protective, immuno-stimulant, antiseptic, and anti-mutagenic properties. Due to these properties, it is especially useful in dentistry for the treatment of periodontal diseases and oral cancers. Turmeric can also be utilized in alternative treatments as a pit and fissure sealant, mouthwash and subgingival irrigant. Its gel form can even be used as a local drug delivery system. It is evaluated with a view to mitigate the human diseases, particularly in cancer and its potential to reduce cancer risk. Curcumin has only negligible side effects such as diarrhoea, diarrhoea, allergic skin reaction, gastric pain. The objective of this article is to review the efficacy and therapeutic properties of curcumin in maintaining oral health.
Ameliorating the collateral damage caused by collateral attack in administrative law
Authors: Knight Dean
Published: September 2020

Collateral attack is the indirect challenge of administrative decisions, instruments or actions in civil and criminal proceedings for the purpose of determining private rights. Collateral challenges are a common way litigants seek to contest actions of the executive or other public bodies, and represent a different mechanism for the courts to exercise their supervisory jurisdiction over administrative action. The New Zealand courts have adopted a straightforward approach to the doctrine of collateral attack, generally allowing such challenges. This paper explores the principles that underlie the doctrine of collateral attack and the potential difficulties that the doctrine creates. It is argued that the courts should take a more principled approach to determining whether collateral attack should be allowed in any individual case. A number of "touchstones" are proposed to ameliorate any collateral damage to administrative law's unique character while still ensuring that people are able to challenge the invalidity of administrative instruments, decisions or actions as and when they arise in civil and criminal proceedings
Граматичні особливості ідеостилю Лесі Українки: функції локатива у драмі-феєрії «Лісова пісня»
Authors: Масицька Тетяна , Мельник Ірина
Published: September 2020

The article deals with the analysis of the grammatical features of Lesya Ukrainka’s individual style. In the focus is the identification of the locative functions in the fairy-drama “The Forest Song”. Locative is defined as a component of the semantic-syntactic structure of a sentence, dependent on a verbal predicate that expresses varieties of spatial meaning. The article argues the notion of syntactic dependency applicability in the analysis of a sentence structure. The study has revealed that the predicates expressing the locative dependency have the correlated semantics in sentence constructions. In the semantic-syntactic structure of sentence constructions, predicates of static semantics, predicates of process, and predicates of action determine the locative’s components. The author lays emphasis on the semantic meanings of the locative's components. They are dependent on the predicates of static semantics, predicates of process, and predicates of action. In the sentence structures of the fairy-drama The Forest Song, most locatives' components express static location, the starting point of movement, a path of movement, and the destination point.  The semantic special features of syntactic units represent Lesya Ukrainka’s holistic worldview, indicate her individual style. The locative reflects the world around represented in spatial nominations. The explicit locative component has been recorded in the sentence constructions with predicates of static semantics as well as there are elliptical sentences with the implicit predicate of static semantics. The predicates of process and action predetermine explicit and implicit locative components. It was found that the locative is mainly represented by prepositional case forms. It turns out that the distinctive feature of all sentences with locative components is presence of prepositions as markers of locative dependency. The locative components are presented in two-member and one-member sentences, in elliptical and imperative sentence constructions.
Мовностилістичні засоби і прийоми підсилення експресії в романі Олександра Солженіцина “У колі першому”
Authors: Міняйло Наталія
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the expressive stylistic elements, which add dynamics to narrative description, highlight and emphasize the emotional or aesthetic content in the text of the novel “In the First Circle” by A. Solzhenitsyn. The analysis involves the identification of the main functions of the expressive features in the artistic text and interpretation of them in terms of the functional-stylistic method. The functional-stylistic method is used to study the linguistic means of expressiveness enhancement that characterize the story, in general, and the speech of the characters, in particular. The study has revealed such stylistic techniques and means as the use of phonographical means and dialect vocabulary, repetition, understatement, metaphorical constructions, ironic and paradoxical content, contrast, the unusual syntactic organization of text (exclamation and interrogative constructions, speech devices of impulsivity).

The unexpected transitions from one subject’s speech area to another are formally indicated by insertion words, parentheses, and subjective elements as traditional techniques to enhance expression. In the focus of a meticulous study are the examples of irony and paradox that make the reader not only observe the events and objects described but also analyze the mysterious formulas perceived in a different way by each reader. Semantic expressiveness is more related to the expression of the emotions of an individual character, conveyed in his internal monologues or external dialogues.

The case study of the article argues that stylistic devices and expressive means like the use of colloquial vocabulary, repetitions of words, understatement, metaphors, irony, paradox, contrast, exclamation, and interrogative structures make the whole artistic text more expressive and, particularly, the characters' speech.
Ідіома self-made man як концепт і символ американської культури: історичний і лінгвокультурний аспекти
Authors: Смалько Людмила , Панченко Вікторія
Published: September 2020

The article elucidates the phenomenon of a self-made man as an idiom, concept, and a symbol of the American culture. The meaning of the idiom is considered from the standpoint of its denotative and connotative meaning, including the historical background for its definition. The research into the nature of the concept of a self-made man is topical in the context of the growing interest of the cognitive linguistics and linguocultural studies in the axiological component of the linguistic picture of the world. The main purpose of the linguocultural studies is to disclose the mentality of the people and their cultural features via language units, and idioms, in particular.

The authors consider the concept of self-made man as a complex multilateral structure that includes not only conceptual issues, but also social, psychological, and cultural components. These components include associations, emotions, evaluation, and subconcepts of hard work, perseverance, legacy appropriate for the given culture. The scope of this research has been narrowed to the case study of Bruce Lee’s success as a vivid illustration of an archetype of a self-made man to confirm the theoretical framework of this paper. The material of the case study was the book by J. Little ‘The Warrior Within: The Philosophies of Bruce Lee’. The emphasis is laid on the component of hard work as an integral and the most fundamental aspect of the concept. The categories hard work and persistence manifested the highest frequency in verbal expressions in the discourse under study. The linguoculturological approach to the study of the issue provides clues to revealing the philosophical and cultural features of the self-made man concept. The key findings of the study offer ideas to explore the culturally specific features of the image of a self-made man at a cross-cultural level.
Indywidualizacja stylu w ukraińskich przekładach wierszy ks. Jana Twardowskiego (na przykładzie zbioru poetyckiego “Trzeba iść dalej...”)
Authors: Suchariewa Switłana , Jaruczyk Olga
Published: September 2020

The article considers the stylistic features of Fr. J. Twardowski’s poetic works and their equivalents in the Ukrainian translations. The case study of the issue is the bilingual poetic volume of  We must go on or a ladybug walk translated by T. Chernysh and S. Yermolenko. The issue of the value identity, present in the original and translations, is argued by determining the typological and individual features of translation transformations. The author analyzes the ways of using translation constructions, indicating the level of assimilating figurative language of the original poems in Ukrainian versions, with a focus on the metaphorization of life and nature, syntactic and punctuation specifics of the poems by Fr. J. Twardowsk. The study argues that a form of vers libre provides translators with new opportunities for transmitting the author’s symbols to the Ukrainian reader. The preservation of the inner rhythm of the poems, their melody, thoughtful structure, which is associated with the phenomenon of the concept of “image” have been emphasized.

The concept of “image” has become the starting point in the analysis of individual and typological lexical items and common semantic expressions. The compliance analysis (translation equivalence) allows better understanding of the original structures and facilitates the general vision of the reproduction correctness of the original communicative intentions in the translation. In addition, the work combines linguistic and stylistic approach with a general interpretive and cultural method, which allows identifying the individual style of the author and the degree of translator’s adaptation of them to the Ukrainian realities.

The key findings of the study manifest that the author’s most favored stylistic means and devices are: anaphora, obvious and hidden antonymy, metaphorical expressions, conveying the Polish realities in which he lived and worked, religious symbols, emotionality of the colloquial vocabulary, and dialogism of the style. The conclusion is that Twardowski’s poems in the book of poems “We must go on…” are translated into Ukrainian at a high professional level, there are many individual findings, although it is not the only possible way to reveal the author’s style. It is advisable to analyze stylistic features of the whole complex of Twardowski poetry translations into Ukrainian in future researches.
Гендерний вимір кінесики як домінанти невербальної комунікації у творчості Володимира Лиса
Authors: Левчук Ірина , Руденко Ірина
Published: September 2020

The article highlights the specific features of the kinesics means of communication in the novel by Volodymyr Lys Solo for Solomiya. The author distinguishes the basic categories of kinesics explication in the novel, namely facial expressions, gestures, body movements, postures. The author uses mainly verbs to pout, to twitch, to inflate, to cover, to whisper, to kiss, to put, to stir, to wipe, to rub, to bite, to chew for a detailed description of the kinesics parameters of nonverbalism expressed by kinemes of lips, mouth. Often, semiotically significant movements in a literary work are detailed by identifiers (adjectives and adverbs).

The study has revealed that the kinesics component of nonverbalism in the text is mostly actualized in the constructions with adapters of the upper body: head (ear, eye, pupil, forehead, cheek, nose, chin, tongue, tooth, hair, face, temple, forehead), neck, shoulder, chest, heart, belly, side, waist, nape, back, hand (elbow, wrist, fist, finger, palm, nail) and lower body: leg (thigh, knee, calf).

In the focus of attention is gender differentiation of components of kinesics in the literary text. Dominant are typical female gestures and poses: hands to the sides (demonstration of militant intentions, conflict), clap your hands (manifestation of joy), put the head on the shoulder (tenderness), blink the eyes (a sign of confusion), put a finger on the lips (call to silence), cover the mouth with a hand (restraint in the manifestation of the reactions), hide the face in a pillow or press a face against the pillow  (expressing shyness), wave the hips, beckon with a finger, scratch with a fingernail (display of flirtation, coquetry), stomp a foot (manifestation of dissatisfaction, aggression), bend the knees almost under the chin (protective posture), etc.

The author often uses different types of gestures and movements without adapters to describe the nonverbal communication of the characters: a) gestures of a tactile nature; b) gestures and movements caused by the inner state, as a fleeting expression of emotions; c) gestures to indicate a situationally forced action, etc. Verbalizing female kinetic behavior, V. Lisi uses gestures, movements, reactions of the metaphorical type.

The facial expression has clear gender features among the indicators of internal emotional states used by the author to portray the characters. Naturally, women are more likely to express their emotions and show them openly. In the analyzed text, such mimicry means of non-verbalisation as a smile is, definitely, gender differentiating.

Selection of the units of kinesics verbalization and the means of their imagery intensification in the literary text is predetermined by peculiarities of the psychological portrayal of characters and the theme of the work.

Published: September 2020

The Balai Kiyu Indigenous People are the Dayak indigenous people who have long occupied the Meratus mountain region in South Kalimantan. These indigenous people have problems that will threaten their existence. The problem is not internal, but external parties overshadowing communal well-being. This study aims to analyze the threats that will be faced by the Balai Kiyu Indigenous Peoples to their existence and is expected to represent the threats that will be faced by indigenous peoples along the Meratus mountains. Based on the research results obtained, the threat to the existence of the Indigenous Peoples Kiyu Centers among them is, first, the boundaries of indigenous territories so far that has not been authorized by the regional or central government, making them very vulnerable communities. Secondly, the highly educated generation slowly began to abandon local wisdom that had been running for decades from its negative effects. Third, the Omnibus Law Bill on the Labor Copyright Act will clarify that indigenous peoples in the future will only be named, because of the loss of communal ownership rights so far.

Fairy-tale worldview where animals possess human-like qualities represents individual-authorial understanding of the family as continuum integrating conceptual spheres “Human Being”, “Society”, “Nature”.
Specificity of Defence Attorney’s and Prosecutor’s Direct Verbal Influence on Jurors during Trial (by the Material of the English-Language Feature Films)
Authors: Ilyukhin Nikita Igorevich
Published: September 2020

The paper aims to prove that during a trial, a defence attorney and a prosecutor use the same communicative techniques to influence the jurors. The author describes the basic characteristics of the court discourse and identifies specificity of a lawyer’s communicative behaviour during proceedings. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the researcher for the first time analyses opening and concluding speeches of a defence attorney and a prosecutor by the material of the English-language feature films. The research findings are as follows: the author proves that at different levels of communication, a lawyer, exerting verbal influence on the jurors, uses different speech techniques that perform the suggestive function and allow bypassing the restrictions conditioned by specificity of the court discourse.

In autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily harbor dual functions by extruding pro-inflammatory mediators and exporting disease modifying anti-rheumatics drugs (DMARDs), hence contributing to diminished treatment response. Herein we determined the expression (mRNA/protein) and functional efflux activities of multiple selected ABC transporters in immune-effector cells of RA patients in relation to DMARD response. ABC transporter profiling included ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein), ABCC1-6/ABCC10-12 (multidrug resistance proteins 1-9) and ABCG2 (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein). Analyses were performed in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) obtained from 52 RA patients (DMARD-naïve and DMARD (non)-responders) and HC (n = 19) using PCR, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. Notwithstanding the large inter-patient variabilities, PBLs from RA patients displayed significantly higher mRNA levels of ABCC1 (2.1-fold), ABCC4 (1.6-fold) and ABCC10 (1.9-fold) compared with HC. Expression levels of ABCB1, ABCC1, ABCC4 and ABCC10 were significantly and positively correlated with each other. Furthermore, significantly increased ABCG2 mRNA (2.8-fold) and protein levels (2.4-fold) were observed in MDM from RA patients compared to HC. Additional analyses revealed that a 1.8-fold increased functional activity of ABCB1 in CD3+ cells in RA patients receiving DMARD treatment versus DMARD-naïve patients, was exclusively contributed by DMARD non-responders. Although up to 1.7-fold higher levels of MDR mRNA levels were noted in PBL of DMARD non-responders over DMARD responders, these differences were not statistically significant. Together, these results underscore the involvement of multiple ABC transporters in immune-competent cells in relation to RA and DMARD response.

Published: September 2020

Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men worldwide with an increasing incidence in most countries. The gold standard for diagnosis is Transrectal Ultrasonography-guided prostate biopsy. The quality of the biopsy is determined by parameters like the length of the biopsy core and the degree of fragmentation, affecting detection rate. SmartBx™ is a tool designed for the handling of prostate biopsy specimens and is intended for maximal tissue preservation. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the detection rate of prostate cancer using the new SmartBx™ tool. Patients and Methods: The study group had a biopsy using the SmartBx™ system and each biopsy core was applied into a cassette, which included two cores of biopsies which were then downloaded into a formalin-filled container. The control group included patients who underwent a Transrectal Ultrasonography-guided biopsy using the “standard” technique of biopsy collection. Data were collected prospectively in the study group, and retrospectively in the control group. Overall detection rate, and detection rate per core, were calculated and compared between the two groups. Results: The study included 600 patients, 300 in each group. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding baseline characteristics. The average core numbers obtained per patient were 13.0 ± 2.7 and 14.1 ± 4.4 (P = 0.001) in the SmartBx™ and control groups, respectively. The use of the SmartBx™ system resulted in 21.2% better tissue preservation than in the control group. The overall detection rate as well as the detection rate per core were higher in the study group. More Gleason score 4 + 3 (Grade Group III) were detected in the study group (44.1% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.01). Conclusions: The use of the SmartBx™ system yielded more biopsy tissue for diagnosis. It increased the detection rate per core and the detection of Gleason score 4 + 3 (Grade Group III) prostate cancer.

Authors: O'Dell Sean , Gormley Matthew J. , Schlieder Victoria , Klinger Tracey , DeHart Kathy , Kettlewell Paul J. , Rahm Alanna Kulchak
Published: September 2020

Abstract Background and Objectives: Despite efficacious treatments and evidence-based guidelines, youth coping with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) receive suboptimal care. Primary care clinicians (PCCs) are frontline providers of ADHD care; however, little is known about PCC perspectives regarding this care gap and how to effectively address it within health systems. We investigated PCC perspectives on determinants of pediatric ADHD care and considerations for improving adherence to evidence-based guidelines. Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 26 PCCs representing clinics within a health system on improving adherence to treatment guidelines for pediatric ADHD. Interview guides were based on the Pragmatic Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM) to elicit PCC views regarding determinants of current practices and suggestions to guide improvement efforts. We used thematic analysis to identify patterns of responding that were common across participants.Results: We identified 12 themes categorized into two broad domains: Status Quo of Pediatric ADHD Care and Supporting and Constraining Factors for Improvement Initiatives. PCCs identified several internal and external contextual factors as determinants of current practices. Of note, PCCs reported they face challenges at multiple steps in the care process, including mental health stigma, coordinating care across settings, clinical productivity pressures, access to behavioral health care, and insurance mandates regarding medications. PCCs recommended efficient continuing education trainings accompanied by improvements to the electronic health record to include validated screening tools and documentation templates.Conclusions: Future research triangulating these findings may help to more efficiently improve the quality of pediatric ADHD care in health systems.

Published: September 2020

Objectives: To describe the processes used to update the PRISMA 2009 statement for reporting systematic reviews, present results of a survey conducted to inform the update, summarise decisions made at the PRISMA update meeting, and describe and justify changes made to the guideline.Methods: We reviewed 60 documents with reporting guidance for systematic reviews to generate suggested modifications to the PRISMA 2009 statement. We invited 220 systematic review methodologists and journal editors to complete a survey about the suggested modifications. The results of these projects were discussed at a 21-member in-person meeting. Following the meeting, we drafted the PRISMA 2020 statement and refined it based on feedback from co-authors and a convenience sample of 15 systematic reviewers. Results: The review of 60 documents revealed that all topics addressed by the PRISMA 2009 statement could be modified. Of the 110 survey respondents, more than 66% recommended keeping six of the original checklist items as they were and modifying 15 of them using wording suggested by us. Attendees at the in-person meeting supported the revised wording for several items but suggested rewording for most to enhance clarity, and further refinements were made over six drafts of the guideline. Conclusions: The PRISMA 2020 statement consists of updated reporting guidance for systematic reviews. We hope that providing this detailed description of the development process will enhance the acceptance and uptake of the guideline and assist those developing and updating future reporting guidelines.

Authors: Dutta Sandip , Dasgupta Sagar , Chimata Geetha
Published: September 2020

Additive manufacturing is the buzz word these days and many companies are leaning on this technology to leap forward in un-chartered design space that promises to give better performance at impossible to reach design goals with the current manufacturing methods. This paper addresses recent developments that have occurred in Energy related businesses with the adoption of 3D printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM). It covers what and why of additive manufacturing; what constitutes energy and AM industry; current activities in AM for energy; AM for different energy sectors; AM processes; AM applications; selected patents in additive manufacturing associated with energy applications; and economic and financial aspects of AM in energy related industries. In this review paper it was noted that in-spite of phenomenal growth in AM, it seldom replaces traditional production methods due to associated constraints. Many companies are finding complimentary AM processes along with subtractive manufacturing techniques to meet the market demands. However, AM is particularly advantageous and attractive compared to traditional manufacturing methods for low volume complex geometry parts.

Formidable Male Facial Structures Influence Post-Conflict Reconciliation
Authors: Brown Mitch , Sacco Donald F. , Barbaro Nicole
Published: September 2020

Male facial structures are associated with men’s formidability. Those possessing a high facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) are perceived as especially formidable. Although such men would be perceived as interpersonally threatening, inclusion of such men in group living could prove advantageous in certain social contexts. Defeated men typically ingratiate themselves heavily with other men following physical conflict through post-conflict reconciliation, which could serve to strengthen coalitional bonds. We conducted two studies to identify how men expect post-conflict reconciliation to occur based on the presence of facial structures connoting formidability. Men indicated their expectations of displaying and receiving respect toward high- and low-fWHR men after imagining winning and losing in physical fights with them; Study 1 (N=238) only considered White opponents and Study 2 (N=303) compared Black and White opponents. Participants expected to display similar levels of respect toward high- and low-fWHR opponents but expected to receive less respect from high-fWHR targets (Studies 1 and 2), particularly if they were Black (Study 2). Findings provide initial evidence for how facial structures connoting formidability shape post-conflict reconciliation.

Self-focused attention has been shown to induce negative thoughts and affects. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that individual differences in proneness to shame and guilt moderate the effects of self-awareness priming on failure- and escape-thought accessibility. Using a priming procedure known to increase self-awareness, participants (N = 150) were briefly primed with their first names (33ms) before completing a lexical decision task with words related to success, failure or escape. As expected, first name priming facilitated identification of failure- and escape-related words, especially among individuals prone to self-conscious emotions. The present study suggests that self-awareness is aversive, especially among individuals prone to guilt and shame.
