The reading data from the sensor and also the RTC will be forwarded by the microcontroller to the server to be displayed to the user. This system is automated with actuators in the form of aerators and motors, so that feeding and adding oxygen levels to the pond will be automatically carried out by the microcontroller. The results of this study indicate the system can work, temperature data, oxygen levels, pH can be monitored through the server and feeding can also be done.
Linking pollinator occurrence in field margins to pollinator visitation to a mass-flowering crop
Authors: Toivonen Marjaana , Herzon Irina , Toikkanen Jenni , Kuussaari Mikko
Published: July 2021

Uncultivated field margins are important refugia for pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes. However, the spill-over of pollination services from field margins to adjacent crops is poorly understood. This study (i) examined the effects of landscape heterogeneity on pollinator occurrence in permanent field margins and pollinator visitation to adjacent mass-flowering turnip rape (Brassica rapa ssp. oleifera) in boreal agricultural landscapes, and (ii) tested whether pollinator abundance and species richness in field margins predict abundance and species richness of crop visitors. Pollinators visiting the crop were more affected by landscape heterogeneity than pollinators in adjacent margins. Species richness, total abundance, and the abundance of syrphid flies visiting the crop increased with increasing landscape heterogeneity, whereas, in field margins, landscape heterogeneity had little effect on pollinators. In field-dominated homogeneous landscapes, wild pollinators rarely visited the crop even if they occurred in adjacent margins, whereas in heterogeneous landscapes, differences between the two habitats were smaller. Total pollinator abundance and species richness in field margins were poor predictors of pollinator visitation to adjacent crop. However, high abundances of honeybees and bumblebees in margins were related to high numbers of crop visitors from these taxa. Our results suggest that, while uncultivated field margins help pollinators persist in boreal agricultural landscapes, they do not always result in enhanced pollinator visitation to the adjacent crop. More studies quantifying pollination service delivery from semi-natural habitats to crops in different landscape settings will help develop management approaches to support crop pollination.

Advances in Conceptual Ship Design Accounting for the Risk of Environmental Pollution
Authors: Garbatov Yordan , Georgiev Petar Georgiev
Published: July 2021

The present paper provides a thorough analysis of the prerequisites in adopting a new paradigm in the conceptual ship design accounting for the environmental pollution driven by maritime transportations. A survey of presently issued IMO environmental requirements outlines the framework within ship design solutions. Identified and carefully examined are several competing optimal design solutions, based on the energy efficiency design index introduced for shipbuilding, operation cost, and the resale costs at the end of the service life, which are used as input variables in a risk-based analysis. Reviewed are the immediate steps taken in the risk-based conceptual ship design to minimise the risk of environmental pollution while considering the life cycle assessment and energy efficiency of the ship propulsion system. Brought forth in the current paper are the results of a study into the concept design of series of containerships operating in the Black Sea for transporting 20, 40 and 45-foot containers aimed at identifying the main dimensions, capacity, visibility, freeboard, stability, bow, and stern design, propulsion complex and propeller design, control and manoeuvrability, seakeeping, energy efficiency design index, capital, and operational expenditures, that leads to the required fright rate for the ships in the range of 4,000 to 14,000 DWT. Accordingly, a bulk carrier’s risk-based concept ship design methodology is employed for the ship life cycle assessment and energy efficiency in pursuance of the optimal design solution in reference to the energy efficiency design index as most applicable to shipbuilding, operation, and resale costs at the end of the service life, and used as input variables in the risk estimate.

Published: July 2021

Rewarding system and reinforcement have often been used in language teaching, and they have been used to help improve students’ academic achievements, and learning competition and control desirable behaviours in the English learning classroom. This exploratory study investigates students’ perceptions of the use of rewards in the classroom for enhancing behaviours and self-development. Participants were 29 mattayom 5 high school students (Grade 11) who studied a fundamental English course in Samut Sakhon Province on the outskirts of Bangkok.  The rewarding system was then designed to be used during the 12-week sessions. The course was divided into 3 phases, and each phase lasted for 4 weeks. No rewards were given to students in the first phase, and all rewards were given in the second and third phases. At the end of week 4, 8 and 12, participants were required to write reflective journals to examine their perceptions toward the use of rewards. The journals were analysed via thematic content analysis. The findings revealed that receiving rewards influenced students’ positive emotions - enjoyment, excitement, relaxation and engagement. The findings also showed that they were highly satisfied with the use of rewards which enhanced their self-development since a teacher used them as external goals. Rewards were used as positive reinforcement for learning behaviour. The use of rewards was also used to build more powerful activities in the classroom.

Authors: Avrunin Oleg , Trubitcin Alexey , Klymenko Viktoriia
Published: July 2021

The subject of the research is the development of a method for prognostic assessment of the condition of patients with atopic dermatitis at different stages of the disease. The goal of the work is to study the informativeness of immunological indicators and data from dermatoscopic examinations in order to expand the possibilities of prognostic objectification of methods for assessing the condition of patients with atopic dermatitis with varying degrees of severity of the disease. The task of the work includes objectifying the blurring of assessment standards when analyzing the transition from one stage of the disease to another. Methods. The solution to this problem is possible when assessing the possibility of using models of parametric recognition (discrimination) using indicators of immunoglobulins in blood serum and indicators of immunograms, as well as color characteristics of skin areas based on the analysis of dermatoscopic images at various degrees of severity of the disease. Result. In the course of the study, the analysis of the color characteristics of the skin showed that when immunological blood parameters are added to the discrimination model, the probability of an error in making prognostic decisions significantly decreases. Predictive assessment of the condition of a patient with atopic dermatitis only by the color characteristics of the skin makes it possible to control this pathology with a higher degree of probability, which makes it possible to use the digital dermatoscopy method independently for express objectification of the condition of a patient with atopic dermatitis without waiting for the data of immunological analyzes. When a new patient appears, the above indicators are calculated for him and the normalized Euclidean distances to the center of the clusters corresponding to the studied pathologies are calculated. The calculated distances can be ranked and the probabilities of correspondence of the given case to specific pathologies can be determined. Conclusions. The prospect of further work is to substantiate the metrological characteristics of the method to eliminate possible systematic errors associated with the method of obtaining optical information.

Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that Aflatuni’s novel is for the first time subjected to a mytho-poetical analysis with a view to reveal its religious and philosophical meaning. The research findings are as follows: the author identifies elements of neo-mythological poetics, discovers specificity of eschatological problematics, reveals the main idea of the novel - everybody, regardless of nationality and faith, can achieve moral ideal, it’s a difficult path of spiritual purification.

Authors: Pershutin Sergey Valeryevich , Diudiakova Svetlana Vladimirovna , Lazarevich Svetlana Valeryevna
Published: July 2021

The article considers the problem of using the TED Talks technology to teach emotive vocabulary to non-linguistic students. The paper describes strategies and techniques to teach emotive vocabulary on the basis of TED Talks. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the authors for the first time classify strategies and techniques to teach emotive vocabulary on the basis of the TED Talks platform containing truly emotive monologic statements of different sociocultural communities’ representatives. The findings indicate that these strategies and techniques help to increase students’ ability to recognize and perceive other peoples’ emotions, to express their own emotions using special vocabulary, which, in its turn, helps to avoid numerous difficulties arising in the process of intercultural communication.
Functional-Pragmatic Peculiarities and Idiomatic Semantics of the English Neologisms - Computer Terms
Authors: Husnullina Yuliya Arsenovna
Published: July 2021

The paper aims to reveal functional-pragmatic peculiarities of the English neologisms - computer terms. The article considers multifunctional nature of terms-neologisms, which is due to multi-functionality of the computing terminological system. The author identifies functional specificity of idiomatic neologisms - computer terms, reveals their functions (identifying, definitional, descriptive, mnemotechnical, etc.) in the process of nomination, which constitutes scientific originality of the study. As a result, it is proved that idiomatic neologisms-terms are most often formed by metaphorization based on similarity of form, size, nature and functions. Many computer terms are formed as a result of metaphorical extension.
Final Particles. Distinction between Final, Modal and Discursive Particles in the German Language
Authors: Ivanov Vladimir Dmitrievich
Published: July 2021

The study aims to define final particles as an independent class of words and to identify their specific nature. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the notion of final particles is clarified; it is the first time that specific nature of final particles as a separate class of words with its particular grammatical properties is determined; the paper is the first to consider criteria for distinguishing between final, modal and discursive particles in the German language. It is shown that differences between these groups of words are associated with the position in the sentence structure, intonation, semantic features. It is also the first time that description of semantic, syntactic and functional features of final particles in the dialogue is considered. As a result, it is proved that final particles are a separate class of words displaying particular properties and performing various functions in the course of communication.
Crash Analysis and Size Optimization of a Vehicle’s Front Bumper System
Authors: AŞKAR Muhammed Talha , ERMİŞ Kemal
Published: July 2021

Bumper beams and crash boxes are structural vehicle elements that have very critical functions during frontal collisions. This study examined the energy ab-sorbed by the front bumper system and the reaction forces to the cage structure representing the vehicle cabin frame during a full frontal crash against a rigid wall. For this purpose, 25 different crash analyses were conducted using the ANSYS software by changing the sheet thickness values of the bumper beam (t1) and crash boxes-frontal crash rails (t2) that make up the front bumper system. The internal energy (absorbed energy) of the front bumper elements from the analysis results and the reaction forces acting on the representative cage struc-ture in the opposite direction to the movement were examined. When the ob-tained data were interpreted according to variable thickness, it was observed that the variable t2 significantly affected both the absorbed energy and reaction force results, while the variable t1 did not have a significant effect on the results. Based on this, the thickness value t2 was determined as the design variable of the size optimization problem. When the optimization problem established with the reac-tion force and absorbed energy constraint functions was solved, the optimal t2 thickness value with the highest absorbed energy / peak reaction force ratio was found.
Guillain – Barré syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection
Authors: Tsoma E. I.
Published: July 2021

Neurological manifestations of COVID‑19 infection are caused by its effects on CNS (headache, dizziness, disturbance of consciousness, convulsions, etc.) and PNS (anosmia, ageusia, visual impairment, radiculo‑ and neuropathy). Guillain – Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disease associated with damage to the peripheral nervous system. 40 — 70 % of cases are associated with a previous infection: cytomegalovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Campylobacter jejuni etc. The clinical characteristics of this condition are progressive muscle weakness, reduction or loss of tendon reflexes (hyporeflexia and areflexia), paresthesias, paresis of the cranial nerves. The diagnosis is based on clinical data, cerebrospinal fluid analysis (protein level, cytosis, antigangliosid antibodies), as well as electroneuromyography. Most patients with Guillain – Barré syndrome totally recover. However, the most dangerous and severe complication of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is paralysis of the respiratory muscles. About a quarter of patients require urgent treatment at intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation and/or tracheostomy. Mortality in Guillain – Barré syndrome can reach to 10 %. There have been several reports of COVID‑19‑related GBS in the world scientific medical literature during the last year, but more information about this association and its implications is still missing. The aim of this report was to analyze the available information about cases of Guillain – Barré syndrome associated with COVID‑19 infection, to compare different variants of this condition and to share our own experience in clinical management of such patient.

Authors: DOS SANTOS RODRIGUES FABIANO ROSA
Published: July 2021

No ensino fundamental, na 1ª série, a criança tem a possibilidade de se expressar e comunicar através de seus movimentos. É importante que a criança pequena conheça suas próprias possibilidades expressivas, e também aprenda progressivamente, a identificação, as expressões dos outros, ampliando sua comunicação. A musica é a linguagem que se traduz em formas sonoras capazes de expressar e comunicar sensações, sentimentos e pensamentos, por meio da organização e relacionamento expressivo entre o som e silêncio. A música está presente em todas as culturas e em diversas situações. É uma das formas importantes de expressão humana. A educação musical proporciona a vivência da linguagem musical como um dos meios de representação do saber construído pela interação intelectual e afetiva da criança com o meio ambiente. Palavras - chave: música; pensamento; interação; expressão.
