«Memoirs for the Training of the Dauphin» of Louis XIV: Historical Document and «Pedagogical Tools»
Authors: Korchagina Nataliya V.
Published: April 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the literary heritage of king Louis XIV. Analyzing the "Memoirs for the education of the Dauphin", "Reflections on the craft of the king" and "Advice to the Duke of Anjou" of Louis XIV, the author presents them as "pedagogical tools" of the monarch, classifying the contents of the memoir works of the king on several conventional subject headings: 1) opinion about the place of the ruler in society, about the difficulties of "king’s metier ", about the authority of the Royal power; 2) tips for building relationships with people who are in submission; 3) reflections on work and motivation for it, about diligence, perseverance and discipline; 4) General remarks about the idea of a person about himself, about moral values. For each of the headings, quotes in the original author's translation into Russian are selected, the justification of their expediency in modern socio-cultural conditions is given. The relevance of the ideas expressed by Louis XIV in his literary heritage is confirmed by their similarity to the well-known educational concepts of recent time.
Definition of acceptable parameters of defects in basic details of forging and press machines
Authors: Kornilova Anna V. , Zaya Kyaw
Published: April 2020

In the Soviet Union, a unique worldwide industry was created for the serial production of forging equipment. Currently, even these machines that have served their design life are in working or maintainable condition. This has led to the fact that there is now a large market for the secondary sale of such machines, including in the countries of Southeast Asia and India. However, with the secondary sale of such equipment, some inevitable damage builds up in the basic parts. In addition, the first copies of such models, put up for secondary sale, were produced at a time when non-destructive testing methods were not developed. Some defects could be undetected. When buying a machine dismantle, transport, install and test. Cases were recorded when defects were strained during installation and testing in the base parts, which made it difficult or impossible to use such equipment. Sometimes this type of equipment (during modernization) is used to carry out technological operations that require more power than previously declared. Therefore, when buying/selling (or upgrading), it is necessary to draw up cards of permissible defects, which, when superimposed on the cards of the detected defects, will allow to reject/determine the remaining life/limit the technological strength of the crank machine so that defects during further operation are not affectted and do not lead to emergency situation. The methodology for determining the permissible parameters of subsurface elliptical cracks is shown on the example of a press bed KD2130 (BZMP).
Significance of pathogenicity factors in initiation of immune response in Helicobacter pylori infection
Authors: Matveeva L. V. , Kapkaeva R. H. , Chudajkin A. N. , Novikova L. V.
Published: April 2020

Helicobacter pylori is a unique microorganism capable of long-term colonization of the gastric mucosa, induction of the inflammatory process, antigenic mimicry and immune evasia. Flagella proteins, adhesins, invasive and aggressive enzymes, cytotoxin-associated protein, vacuolating cytotoxin can have a damaging effect on stomach epithelial cells. Recognition of molecular patterns of Helicobacter pylori by stomach cell receptors initiates activation of adapter proteins, protein kinases and transcription factors, leading to the production of proinflammatory cytokines, infiltration by neutrophilic granulocytes, absorption and killing of microorganisms by phagocytes with presentation of antigens to lymphocytes, while the activity and completeness of phagocytosis remain at a low level. Activation of CD8+-, CD16+- lymphocytes is accompanied by cytotoxic effect on both Helicobacter pylori and epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. Weak immunogenicity of Helicobacter pylori antigens limits the production of anti-Helicobacter antibodies. Thus, activation of immune factors, in most cases, does not lead to complete elimination of the pathogen, but can aggravate the pathomorphological changes of the gastric epithelium.

Published: April 2020

The vascular factor is one of the leading pathogenesis factors in the formation of ankle joint osteoarthritis. Dystrophic and sclerotic changes in the joint tissues develop as a result of blood flow decrease. These mechanisms understanding will allow to plan treatment and rehabilitation measures, as well as predict and prevent complications. The purpose of the work is to study hemodynamic parameters in the main lower leg arteries of the in patients in follow-up period of mild ankle joint osteoarthritis. Two groups of patients were examined. The first group - 82 patients with mild ankle joint osteoarthritis in the follow-up period (10 years) and the second group - control (healthy) group of 58 people without ankle joint osteoarthritis. Duplex scan of the main lower leg arteries was performed to all the patients. The state of arteries and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated. Excell and STATISTICA 10.0 programs were used for statistical data processing. In patients with follow-up of mild ankle joint osteoarthritis, the diameter of the arteries did not differ from the control group. In patients with mild ankle joint osteoarthritis the thickness of the Intima-media complex in the lower leg arteries and walls pulsation were significantly higher than those in patients of the control group (p <0.05). Analysis of hemodynamic parameters in patients with ankle joint osteoarthritis revealed an increase in the linear velocity of blood flow with a further tendency to normalization and even decrease in the follow-up compared with the control group. Signs of perfusion difficulty that accompanied the development of high blood pressure syndrome in the lower leg arteries were observed in 122 (67.0%) patients, and the signs of perfusion difficulty were bilateral in most of the cases (86.9%). Stenosis, deformation and arteries tortuosity were noted in 22% of patients with ankle joint osteoarthritis. Thus, mild ankle joint osteoarthritis is accompanied by blood flow changes in the form of inadequate perfusion and high-pressure syndrome in the lower leg arteries, which can cause secondary injuries and requires higher attention when selecting treatment and rehabilitation actions.

Dynamic and quantitative Sensitivity analysis on the efficient development of tight oil
Authors: BAİ Jie , LİU Huiqing , WANG Jing , XİE Ling , Lİ Xueping
Published: April 2020

The aim of this paper is to present dynamic and quantitative
sensitivity analysis for the tight oil development with horizontal fracturing
well. And a set of correlations predict the oil production and effective swept
scope are built   correspondingly.

In this paper, a group of orthogonal schemes were designed and
simulated with the CMG IMEX Simulator. And 11 parameters are filtered after
extensive investigation of typical characteristics of tight oil in China and
abroad. The parameters include reservoir characteristics, threshold pressure
gradient and stress sensitive effect, fracturing parameters etc. And analysing
each five years’ simulation results including cumulative production, oil
recovery and effective flow area.

The analysis result
shows that the initial reservoir pressure and well bottom hole pressure, which
decides whether the energy is sufficient to drive oil flow, is the most
significant factor to influence the tight oil cumulative production. Secondly,
reservoir thickness and porosity influence whether the reservoir oil is rich.
However, for the oil recovery, the contribution of fracturing is more
essential, which directly determines whether it has industrial oil production.
In addition, threshold pressure gradient and stress sensitivity, the distinct
seepage characteristics between tight oil and traditional reservoirs, will
further exacerbate the ultra-low permeability and seepage process. The most
immediate effect is that the swept scope range becomes smaller. In addition, a
series mathematical model are also established for the development effect
estimation through the use of multivariate regression, Through data validation,
the quantitative model error ranges 5.45% from 9.29%.

Published: April 2020

Quality plays a key role in
the marketing of vegetables and fruits. There is a reason that the agricultural
products you see in the store usually aren’t rotten. Someone at a sorting
facility has already looked over all the products coming in from the fields,
and taken out the spoiled ones. This method does not exactly meet the standards
of quality and it causes time and labour force loss. Moreover, it has seen that
the use of conveyor belt systems are increasing rapidly in today’s industry.
These systems, designed to meet the developing needs of the industry, are used
to categorize objects with different characteristics. This research was
conducted to develop a system for detecting the rottenness on apples on a
conveyor belt using image processing techniques, PLC and OPC server.
Morphological image processing techniques were used for detecting spots or
rottenness emerged on apples and Matlab software was used for image processing.
Image processing algorithm developed to detect the characteristics of the apples.
Overall conveyor belt system was controlled by PLC. OPC server was used for
communication between image processing part and controller part. In this study;
image processing algorithm, OPC server and PLC algorithm were tested in real
time and results were studied.

Decreasing the Cogging Torque using Virtual Positive Impedance Based Active Damping Control Method for PMSMs
Authors: AKSÖZ Ahmet , SAYGIN Ali
Published: April 2020

In this paper, active
damping control based virtual positive impedance for a PMSM driver is proposed.
The proposed model is assumed to achieve the better motor current with a better
harmonic response. 6 switches can be employed in the design of the driver to
obtain high performance with a simultaneous reduction in the motor current
harmonics and thus the torque ripple of PMSM. However, the reduction of input
current harmonics is very important to operate the PMSM with less cogging
torque. The proposed concept offers a significant decreasing in harmonics.
Thus, the effect of VPI on the cogging torque can be understood. The inverter
with a Field Oriented Control (FOC) method operates in 3-phase and 20 kHz
switching frequency. The PMSM motor is fed by the inverter. The VPI based
active damping control for the motor drive is discussed to confirm the
performance of the proposed method. The simulation results based on MATLAB are
provided to validate the proposed control strategy.
Numerical simulation study on the bottom-water invasion in the carbonate gas reservoir with high angle fractures and high permeability zones
Authors: ZHANG Shuang , LIU Huiqing , BAI Jie
Published: April 2020

Numerical simulation of carbonate gas reservoir with bottom-water is still a challenging issue, due to the presence of nature conductive fractures. When the water invades into the gas well, the permeability of gas phase decreases sharply. The high angle fractures and high permeability zones have a serious impact on the production performance of the gas wells. The characteristic of the water invasion was unpredictable in conventional dynamic analysis.In fractured carbonate reservoir, the geometric shapes of the angled fracture are difficult to be described using commercial numerical simulation software. The method that calculating the pseudo relative permeability of the grid block containing high angle fracture was utilized in this paper. Through this method, the rapid water advancement in the conductive fracture was accurately tracked without modifying the grid geometry, and the influence of the conductive fracture to the water breakthrough phenomenon was studied by using the IMEX module in CMG. The results show that the water invasion intensity depends on the conductivity of fracture, and the higher the conductivity is, the shorter the water breakthrough time is. The breakthrough time of water is affected by the angle of the fracture, the relative horizontal distance, the length of the fracture, the production rate and the type of water invasion. According to the characteristic curve, the type of water invasion can be quickly distinguished, which provides a basis for further study on the enhanced recovery of the fractured carbonate gas reservoir with water.

Published: April 2020

Nowadays, a considerable part of the energy need is provided from non-renewable energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas. Although fossil fuels are formed in long periods, especially these days they are consumed very rapidly. Therefore, the investigations on renewable energy sources, which can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels are increasing with each passing day. Recently, in order to increase heat transfer in the ground heat exchanger, the applications of moistening the soil are existing in the literature. In this research study, the effects of process fluid on heat transfer were investigated comparatively in a wet-soil source heat exchanger. The contribution to the thermal efficiency of air and water as a process fluid was examined. In this study, it is aimed to reduce energy costs. It has been determined that it will make a significant contribution to energy saving in energy-efficient smart buildings.

О значениях гипергеометрических функций
Authors: Иванков Павел Леонидович
Published: April 2020

При изучении арифметических свойств значений обобщенных гипергеометрических функций часто применяют известный в теории трансцендентных чисел метод Зигеля. Наиболее общие результаты в данной области были получены именно этим методом. Однако возможности метода Зигеля в случае гипергеометрических функций с иррациональнымипараметрами ограничены. Это связано с тем, что такие гипергеометрические функции не являются E-функциями, и по этой причине построить линейную приближающую форму свысоким порядком нуля с помощью принципа Дирихле здесь не удается. При рассмотрении задач, связанных с исследованием арифметической природы значений гипергеометрических функций с иррациональными параметрами, в некоторых случаях можно применить метод, основанный на эффективном построении линейной приближающей формы, но возможности этого метода также ограничены из-за того, что слишком общие эффективные конструкции отсутствуют. Трудности имеются также и в тех случаях, когда такие конструкции известны. Особенности этих конструкций таковы, что часто не удается реализовать арифметическую часть метода.

Поэтому представляют интерес ситуации, когда можно провести требуемое исследование, опираясь на особые свойства конкретных гипергеометрических функций. Иногдаудается так подобрать параметры исследуемых функций, что можно преодолеть те трудности, которые возникают в общем случае. В настоящей работе рассматривается гипергеометрическая функция специального вида и ее производные. С помощью эффективной конструкции удалось не только доказать линейную независимость значений этих функций над некоторым мнимым квадратичным полем, но и получить соответствующий количественный результат в виде оценки модуля линейной формы от указанных значений.

Published: April 2020

Estudos científicos apontam um crescimento na criação de micro e pequenas empresas nas últimas três décadas no Brasil, devido, principalmente, a redução de empregos formais e a crescente competitividade decorrente das mudanças econômicas e tecnológicas. Tais mudanças refletem em iniciativas empreendedoras como estratégia para atender novas demandas de bens e serviços. Além disso, essas iniciativas empreendedoras contribuem para a movimentação da economia das regiões onde estão inseridas, pois mesmo sendo empresas de pequeno porte somam a maior parte dos rendimentos dos municípios brasileiros. Diante disso, este estudo tem o objetivo geral de analisar, a partir de gestores de micro e pequenas empresas, quais características consolidam seus negócios no mercado. Para atender ao objetivo geral, foram definidos os objetivos específicos, que são: (i) averiguar as características que constituem os gestores que consolidam negócios; e (ii) detectar facilidades e dificuldades para gerir micro e pequenas empresas. A base teórica que sustenta o estudo está apoiada em temas afins a gestão de micro e pequenas empresas. Mediante pesquisa qualitativa e estudo de casos múltiplos, realizou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco gestores de micro e pequenas empresas, de cinco diferentes cidades e diferentes ramos de atuação do Vale do Taquari/RS.

SALTy Citizens: Which State and Local Taxes Contribute to State-to-State Migration?
Authors: Hageman Amy M. , Robb Sean W. G. , Schwebke Jason M.
Published: April 2020

State and local governments depend heavily on revenue generated from state and local taxes (SALTs). Migration between states occurs for many non-tax reasons, but prior research suggests tax-related factors may play an important role. Even so, the specific SALTs motivating state-to-state migration remain unclear given mixed and inconclusive results of prior studies. This study examines state and local tax variables individually and then jointly, and controls for important economic and noneconomic factors to determine which SALTs matter to residents when making relocation decisions. Using data collected from multiple sources for 2008 to 2015, results indicate overall state and local tax burden, individual income taxes, select sales taxes, and property taxes are all significantly and negatively associated with taxpayer migration. Further, select sales taxes and property taxes seem to be most significantly associated with migration. We also provide some intuition related to the economic impact associated with net migration.
Praksisnær undervisning – en forutsetning for innovasjon og entreprenørskap!
Authors: Tvete Ingrid
Published: April 2020

In this chapter I examine the importance of the concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation in an educational context. The aim of the chapter is to show that entrepreneurship and innovation are not only political superlatives, but also useful approaches to a more practice-oriented teaching in higher education. Practice-oriented teaching is teaching with a clear applied orientation, and I examine how entrepreneurial perspectives and forms of teaching can contribute to this applied orientation through examples, among other things, from the innovation methods we find in ‘Liberating Structures’. The intention of the examples is to demonstrate that entrepreneurship and innovation are useful and simple tools when it comes to facilitating teaching situations where the students must connect theory and practice.
Boyer and Knorr-Cetina’s thoughts on knowledge are briefly referenced to support the notion that the students need expertise in how social structures and knowledge development influence each other reciprocally. This is seen in the context of political governance documents and especially Nordic literature on entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial teaching methods and practice-oriented teaching are then linked to a situational and contextual learning perspective, and I argue that entrepreneurship and innovation are inextricably linked to practice-oriented teaching. I conclude that through entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education we can facilitate a practice-oriented learning where the student learns situationally, without necessarily being in a practical situation.
Psykologisk kontrakt med studenter i høyere utdanning

Published: April 2020

In this article, we present how a shared psychological contract was negotiated with students at the Practical Pedagogical Education for Vocational Teachers (PPU-Y) at the beginning of the program, autumn 2016. A modified version of the nominal group technique (NGT) was used in groups and in whole class negotiations. General themes representing the individual students as well as common expectations of the role of the teacher and their own role as students were identified.
The findings show that the students have a high degree of relational expectations to the teacher, expect structure and predictability in the study, and expect relevance between education and objectives of education and that individual expectations to the teacher and the negotiated psychological contract in class are relatively similar.
PATENT DOCUMENTATION AS A SOURCE OF INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Melo Paulo , Maravilhas Sérgio
Published: April 2020

Patent documentation may help provide growth of innovativeness and development of clean technologies.Technology transfer via patent documentations has fostered and revealed itself of high economic importance because of the ability to leverage innovativeness more quickly with low cost and low use of resources and efforts. However, organizations still don’t ́ seem to take the advantage and monetize their full potential relatedwith the use of patent information that could stimulate more innovation resulting in greater economic growth.This paper presents that a coherent and effective use of patent information from existing R&D activities with operational application may contribute more efficiently to solve problems and to foster innovation through the creation of new products, services and processes with sustainability and social responsibility. The use ofunexploited inventions and the formulation of new products based on successful R&D experiences may be adapted to create sustainable solutions, attend new global needs, generate new jobs, and protect natural resources and the environment as a whole.

The development of brain-computer interfaces based on the use of EEG sensorimotor rhythms reactivity parameters and designed for the rehabilitation of people (including children) with impaired motor functions is currently relevant. The study was aimed to analyse the EEG μ-rhythm in the individual frequency range in children during imitation of biological and non-biological motion. EEG was recorded at frontal, central and parietal cortical regions in 136 normally developing right-handed children aged 4–15, at rest and during the execution and imitation of movements using the computer mouse. When the children moved the computer mouse on their own (F1, 132 = 31.17; p < 0.001) and executed the concentric moving of the coloured circle (F1, 132 = 90.34; p < 0.001), the μ-rhythm desynchronization developed in the frontal, central and parietal neocortical regions. The μ-rhythm synchronization was detected during the non-biologocal motion imitation (F1, 132 = 12.65; p < 0.001), compared to the task on the autonomous movement execution. The μ-rhythm desynchronization was observed during the biologocal motion imitation in relation to autonomous movement execution (F1, 132 = 9.58; p = 0.002). The described effects had their own features in the groups of children aged 4–6, 7–9, 10–12 and 13–15. The study results demonstrate the desirability of taking into account the μ-rhythm reactivity age-related features and the visual stimuli nature when developing software for the brain-computer interfaces.
Evaluation of serum cortisol concentration as a prognostic indicator for nonsurvival to hospital discharge in critically ill dogs
Authors: Swales Harry , Batchelor Daniel J. , O'Connell Erin M.
Published: April 2020

OBJECTIVE

To investigate whether serum cortisol (SC) concentration is a useful prognostic indicator for survival versus nonsurvival to hospital discharge in critically ill dogs.

ANIMALS

229 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES

Medical records were retrospectively reviewed to identify critically ill dogs that were hospitalized between January 2010 and May 2018 and that had SC concentrations measured ≤ 3 days after admission. Results for SC concentrations were compared for dogs grouped by survival versus nonsurvival to hospital discharge, with versus without sepsis, and other variables of interest. The predictive value of SC concentration for nonsurvival to hospital discharge was assessed (OR, sensitivity, and specificity) for cutoffs determined from a ROC curve or reference limit.

RESULTS

Median SC concentration was higher in dogs that did not survive to hospital discharge (8.5 μg/dL; interquartile [25th to 75th percentile] range, 4.8 to 11.8 μg/dL), compared with concentration in those that were discharged alive (4.5 μg/dL; interquartile range, 2.5 to 6.9 μg/dL). The area under the ROC curve was 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.64 to 0.81) for SC concentration predicting nonsurvival. The calculated optimum cutoff of SC concentration was 7.6 μg/dL, at which the OR, sensitivity, and specificity for nonsurvival were 5.4 (95% CI, 2.7 to 10.9), 58%, and 80%, respectively. Alternatively, when the upper reference limit for SC concentration (5.8 μg/dL) was used as the cutoff, the OR, sensitivity, and specificity for nonsurvival were 3.6 (95% CI, 1.8 to 7.1), 67%, and 64%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated that SC concentration could be used as part of an overall assessment of prognosis in critically ill dogs.
Artificial intelligence and the management transformation

Published: April 2020

Subject. The article discusses how management transforms as artificial intelligence gets more important in governance, production and social life.
Objectives. We identify and substantiate trends in management transformation as artificial intelligence evolves and gets more important in governance, production and social life. The article also provides our suggestions for management and training of managers dealing with artificial intelligence.
Methods. The study employs methods of logic research, analysis and synthesis through the systems and creative approach, methodology of technological waves.
Results. We analyzed the scope of management as is and found that threats and global challenges escalate due to the advent of artificial intelligence. We provide the rationale for recognizing the strategic culture as the self-organizing system of business process integration. We suggest and substantiate the concept of soft power with reference to strategic culture, which should be raised, inter alia, through the scientific school of conflict studies. We give our recommendations on how management and training of managers should be improved in dealing with artificial intelligence as it evolves. The novelty hereof is that we trace trends in management transformation as the role of artificial intelligence evolves and growth in governance, production and social life.
Conclusions and Relevance. Generic solutions are not very effective for the Russian management practice during the transition to the sixth and seventh waves of innovation. Any programming product represents artificial intelligence, which simulates a personality very well, though unable to substitute a manager in motivating, governing and interacting with people.
Strategic threats to energy security as risks of quality of people's life
Authors: Loktionov V.I.
Published: April 2020

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life.
Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life.
Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis.
Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security.
Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.

Subject. The article discusses the infrastructure policy of Turkey in terms of economic and national security.
Objectives. The article represents my own research into the foreign trade aspect of Turkey’s infrastructure policy for purposes of the Istanbul Canal project now. I evaluate the future, risks and threats to the alternative project instead of the Bosphorus, its role in the economic and national security of Turkey.
Methods. I applied methods of logic, situational and economic analysis.
Results. The Strategy 2023, the Turkish development program, includes 30 major infrastructure projects. The Istanbul Canal is on the list of significant achievements for a 100 years span of the Turkish Republic. Therefore, the country will do its best to implement it.
Conclusions and Relevance. The Turkish authorities are about to launch a hallmark construction project in its history. Environmentalists claim that the canal will shatter the balance of the seas. However, there are some other challenges and threats, which, inter alia, influence strategic interests of Russia. Turkey intends to settle in the international market. The Istanbul Canal project is of strategic importance due to its high profitability and strategic pursuits, economic and national security of Turkey.
Improvement of methodological base on identification of tax expenditures
Authors: Popova Evgeniya Mikhailovna , Guseinova Guzel Mukhtarovna
Published: April 2020

The concept of tax expenditure is gradually being implemented into the budget process in the Russian Federation, which justifies the relevance of this research. Russia uses the legislative approach towards identification of tax spending, which has a weak theoretical-methodological base. There is currently no precise criterion for allocation of tax expenditures, while the definition formulated by the Article 6 of the Budgetary Code of the Russian Federation further complicates their identification. Thus, there is an objective need for development of more comprehensive approach towards identification of tax expenditures from the theoretical perspective. The study of foreign practice allowed concluding that qualification of the tax norm, as a tax expenditure is a rather debatable question. The novelty and scientific-practical importance of the conducted research consists in the proposed interpretation of tax expenditures and tax incentives, which reflects their main attribute consisting in divergence from the fundamental principles of taxation, and ensures accord with the concepts used in the budgetary legislation. The authors develop an algorithm for identifying tax expenditures, based on solution of the task on determination of adherence of the content of tax norm to the key elements of the mechanism of functionality of a tax incentive.
Standard Behavior under Legal Control: A Behavioristic Approach
Authors: Sergeev V. N.
Published: April 2020

The standard behavior based on the so-called legal type of control is considered. The mechanisms of modeling of required behavior through standard rules, ways of increasing its probability, tools of transfer of behavior in various situations are analyzed. The distinction of patterns of individual behavior, as well as its social forms facilitating the cumulative effect is made. The standard rules prescribe a order of actions in any situation. The standard regulation of behavior structurally reproduces the model of control of behavior due to existing consequences (i.e. includes guideline of conditions, expected behavior and its result) and can be analyzed with the help of the so-called ABC-scheme or formula SD-R-C. It is indicated the functional role of the rule in the type of operation behavior. Moreover, it is mentioned the complexity of rule-governed behavior identification in the line of other behavior acts. The analysis of rule essence is paid a lot of attention to.
Cultural dermatoses: Turmeric allergy (mangalsutra dermatitis and kumkum dermatitis) – A case report
Authors: Chembolli Lakshmi
Published: April 2020

Customs and traditional practices may predispose to the development of dermatitis in unusual sites and patterns. The mangalsutra (thali) or holy thread is tied by the Hindu groom around the bride’s neck and is a mark of her marital status, comparable to the wedding ring in the west. The thread is smeared with turmeric before the ceremony. Turmeric is considered auspicious and plays an important role in Hindu ceremonies. Although dermatitis to turmeric in kumkum is reported, its presentation as a mangalsutra dermatitis does not find mention. The patient who developed dermatitis with pigmentation over the contact sites of mangalsutra and over the forehead (corresponding to the bindi) is presented.

Erythroderma or exfoliative dermatitis is a potentially fatal condition with myriad etiologies. Identifying the cause is essential for proper treatment. Dermatophytosis is an unusual cause of erythroderma. The use of topical steroids can alter the clinical picture of dermatophytosis. It can cause temporary symptomatic relief followed by an exacerbation. In this article, we describe a case of exfoliative dermatitis due to dermatophytosis which posed a diagnostic difficulty due to the application of topical steroids.
