Late Pleistocene horse Equus (Equus) ferus (Perissodactyla, Equidae) from the Cis-Baikal and Transbaikalia
Authors: Plasteeva N.A. , Klement’ev A.M.
Published: February 2022

The paper presents morphological examination of caballoid horse remains (Equus (Equus)) from the Baikal region. The study area stretches from Angara river basin up to western Transbaikalia. Fossil material was dated to the second half of the Late Pleistocene, from Kargin Interstadial to the Late Glacial. In all 18 upper and lower jaws, 34 isolated teeth, 37 metacarpal and 56 metatarsal bones were measured. Comparative analysis of horse remains from the Cis-Baikal area, Transbaikalia, and contemporaneous material from the south of Eastern Europe, the Ural Mountains, Western and North-Eastern Siberia revealed marked intraspecific variation in the Late Pleistocene horses. Observed size variation in skeletal elements reflects temporal and regional variation in horse body size. Multivariate analysis showed that despite the significant size variation between local populations, fossil horses were homogeneous in their morphology. Relative proportions of metacarpal and metatarsal bones remained constant through the Late Pleistocene. Horse remains from the Cis-Baikal area and Transbaikalia were attributed to Equus ferus – a circumpolar species in the Late Pleistocene. Przewalski’s horse (Equus przewalskii) differs from fossil horses by the relative proportions of the limb bones. Based on morphometric analysis we can conclude that E. przewalskii did not inhabit the Baikal region during the Late Pleistocene.
Social Interaction and Social Relations: A Sociological Analysis
Authors: Okumdi Muoghalu Caroline
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT This paper reviews critically the relevance of social interaction and social relations as the core foundation for all human endeavours, making it possible for people to live together in every existing society. This is with a view to give a clear understanding and to demonstrate its centrality in the existence of human societies and in the emergence of the discipline of sociology. The objective of this paper is to create an understanding of social interaction and social relations. The paper employed the symbolic interactionist perspective to review the components and types of social interaction, socialisation and how it has evolved over the years. The study reveals that social interaction and social relations are very important, and form an integral part of human societies and this is why stigmatisation and ostracism are very effective as tools of social control and regulation. The study also reveals that social interaction and social relations form both micro and macro sociological orientations and have evolved over time, and this evolution has been facilitated by advancement in technology and globalisation. The paper concludes that the development of human beings and their societies depends on social interactions and social relations. The study recommends that the turn that social interaction and social relations takes can determine the level of development because if, social interaction is chaotic, it will bring about confusion and conflict and there will be little or no development. But, if social interaction were that of cooperation, more development would be recorded by society

Published: February 2022

In this paper, we deal with unique solvability and numerical solution ofabsolute value equations (AVE),Ax−B|x|=b, (A,B∈Rn×n,b∈Rn).Under some weaker conditions, a simple proof is given for unique solvabilityof AVE. Furthermore, we demonstrate with an example that these results arereliable to detect unique solvability of AVE. These results are also extendedto unique solvability of standard and horizontal linear complementarity prob-lems. Finally, we suggest a Picard iterative method to compute an approx-imated solution of some uniquely solvable AVE problems where its globallylinear convergence is guaranteed via one of our weaker sufficient condition.

RIGHT OF PRE-EMPTION - HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   Transilvania University of Braşov, SAVU Vlad-Ionuț
Published: February 2022

In this scientific approach, we will focus on the historical dimension of the right of pre-emption. This paper is structured in three chapters highlighting the most important historical aspects underlying the right of pre-emption. Etymologically, pre-emption comes from the Latin words pre (before) and emptio (sale). The first notions of the right of protimis appear in Roman law, where property and inheritance are treated as religious derivations. The great French historian Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges (1830 - 1889), in his work Cité Antique (Ancient City), stated that property appears to be of divine origin.It belongs to a family, which includes the protective gods, the dead and the continuators of the family cult, i.e. those who are alive or those who will be born. Each individual of the family is considered a temporary possessor of the property with the obligation to pass these rights on to the descendants in order to continue the family's domestic cult.

This article aims to highlight the effects that The Beatles have had over generations, mainly on the lifestyle of people who listen to this type music specifically. This characteristic leads to the creation of musical identities, which can greatly reduce socio-cultural barriers, as well as language barriers between fans that reside in different socio-cultural contexts. Mainly, we propose to emphasize that, regardless of the cultural background in which people live, the status of being a Beatles fan, can be a way in which people can exponentially reduce socio-cultural barriers. By interacting with some special communities on different social media platforms, for example, they will develop a sense of belonging, they can shape their overall lifestyle and build a self-image that can sometimes, in certain circumstances, change the trajectory of their lives.

Published: February 2022

The safe and stable operation of power system is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood of the whole country. Blackouts are almost always caused by cascading failures. This paper first analyzes the global blackouts in the past 20 years, and points out that the scale and probability distribution of blackouts obey the power-law relationship. Secondly, it is concluded that transmission line fault, bus fault, large-scale power flow transfer and relay protection device misoperation are the main factors causing cascading failures. Then, the five stages of cascading failure evolution are analyzed, which are slow successive interruption process, fast successive interruption process, transient oscillation, avalanche blackout and long recovery. Finally, the research results of cascading failure at home and abroad in recent years are analyzed from three research points: small world network, topological network and two-layer coupling network.

Research on 1D-CNN Detection Methods of High-Speed Railway Catenary Dropper Faults Based on Acceleration Sensors
Authors: Gong Yansheng , Jing Wenfeng
Published: February 2022

Droppers are key components of high-speed railway overhead catenary systems, which are exposed to the external environment and are prone to breakage faults due to the impact of wind force and the pantograph on moving trains day after day. How to identify dropper breakage or relaxation faults through acceleration signals installed in the carrier cable and contact wire is a challenging problem. In this study, the experimental section of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway was simulated on the basis of the bow-network dynamic simulation model, in which the overhead catenary system was subjected to the force of pulsating wind alone or pulsating wind and the pantograph at the same time. In the experiment, we collected 10 channel signals from five acceleration sensors when two droppers were normal or broken. We established a 1D-CNN model of four categories and then determined the hyperparameters of the deep network structure and the important parameters of the network optimization scheme through the Bayesian optimization algorithm. Furthermore, we selected the lowest sensor number to identify dropper fracture faults by a large number of experiments according to mechanics principles. The experimental results show that the proposed methods have a higher identification accuracy rate, recall rate, and robustness than the traditional artificial feature extraction approaches. Therefore, the detection methods proposed provide an effective way to identify high-speed railway catenary dropper faults on the basis of acceleration sensors.

The Republic of Kazakhstan is a major wheat-producing and wheat-exporting country. Wheat is a grain which the most important source of food on earth. It contains 75-80% carbohydrates, 9-18% protein, fiber, many vitamins (especially B vitamins), calcium, iron, and many macro-and micro-nutrients. Fungal leaf diseases, such as leaf blotch caused by Septoria tritici and rust diseases caused by Puccinia graminis, Puccinia striiformis and Puccinia triticina are also a problem for spring wheat production. Despite the dry climate, the cultivation of susceptible varieties results in epidemics of leaf rust in one year out of four on average, affecting more than 1 million hectares, with estimated losses of up to 25-30 percent of yields. Salicylic acid and oxalic acids have the effects of promoting plant growth. We test whether they can positively impact wheat yield under disease conditions. Foliar seed application of Salicylic acid and oxalic acid on wheat cultivar leads to overall better performance of the plants and increases the yield significantly. Effect on wheat yield components of two substances (SA, and OA) in both ways such as seed treatment and foliar spray, believed to have growth-stimulating properties in plants. 0.2 mM OA and 0,5 mM SA+ 0,1 mM OA samples represented a good result in both seed treatment and foliar spray in all yield characteristics of Aray cultivars compaire to control. The results of this study will be useful to control fungal diseases of wheat.

Authors:   University of Genova, Khalid Zumama
Published: February 2022

Circular (circ) RNAs are non-coding closed RNA molecules. Studies of human tumors, including lung cancer, have shown a change in the expression profile of circrna. CircRNA can indirectly regulate gene expression by binding and inhibiting microRNA functions. Thanks to this mechanism, circRNAs can regulate proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis. In this review, we showed a brief description of the expression and function of circRNAs, as well as their roles in the development of lung cancer. We presented evidence that these molecules should be studied as useful biomarkers for radon-induced lung cancer.

In the article, flour from leguminous crops is offered as gluten-free flour for dietary nutrition of patients with celiac disease. For the nutrition of this category of people, it is necessary to use those crops and products from them that do not contain gluten. There is proposed a leguminous chickpea crop of the MIRAS 07 variety of domestic selection as an object of the study. The article presents microstructural data of microwave processed chickpeas of the Miras 07 variety. Studies were conducted on microwave processing of chickpeas of the MIRAS 07 variety for 3-5 minutes in comparison with a control untreated chickpea sample. Various flour samples were obtained from processed chickpea grain samples in order to prepare gluten-free products. Studies have been carried out to study the morphological structure and granulometric composition of the mercury film on a scanning electron microscope Quanta 200i 3D. The obtained microstructure sections indicate that in the chickpea flour of the MIRAS 07 variety, starch grains are mainly based on amylopectin, and in small amounts amylose, which confirms their high nutritional value. Starch particles of chickpea flour begin to break down with increasing temperature, which is very important in the process of dough production for flour confectionery products. The use of microwave processed chickpea flour in flour and confectionery production is preferable to unprocessed. Heat treatment of grain crops using a microwave can affect the basic biochemical parameters, especially carbohydrates, transforming them into easily digestible forms of starch.

A rendelkezésre álló vízkészletek kiszámítására több módszert is alkalmazhatunk, azonban a hatályos jogszabályok szerint az augusztusi 80%-ostartósságú vízhozam a mértékadó. A cikkben a szerző tíz vízfolyás különböző eljárással kiszámolt vízkészletét hasonlítja össze, majd vízmérlegeket készít a jövőbeli öntözési igények megbecslésével. Az eredmények elemzése után pedig javaslatokat tesz további eljárások és elemzések elvégzésére.

Background and Objectives: Social anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders. It presents with a persistent fear of one or more social or functional situations and is highly prevalent. This study aimed to investigate the predictive role of spiritual wellbeing in social anxiety. Methods: The method of research was descriptive correlational. The study population included all students of Al-Zahra University in the 2018-2019 academic year. The cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 290 samples. Data collection tools included social phobia inventory and spiritual wellbeing. A correlation and multivariate regression test was used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the dimensions of spiritual wellbeing have a negative relationship with social anxiety. Based on these results, the correlation coefficient (r=0.157) between the total score of spiritual wellbeing and social anxiety is significant (P<0.01). Also, the results showed that the spiritual wellbeing variable explains 10% of the changes in social anxiety. Conclusion: According to these findings, planning, and teaching to promote students’ spiritual wellbeing are essential in reducing their social anxiety.

Authors: Zhao Lihui , Yang Zihui
Published: February 2022

The classic Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) model cannot meet the needs of accurate decision-making under the new cost structure, and the time-driven activity-based costing can accurately and timely respond to rising overhead costs through accurate identification of time-related resource consumption. By relaxing the constraints of the CVP model, based on the time-driven activity-based costing method, this paper reclassifies and divides the cost behavior, constructs an extended CVP analysis model, and uses the operating data of Hunan Gongsheng Fengsheng Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd (GSFS) to conduct the empirical analysis. The results show that the extended model is reliable and effective.

Este artigo é resultado de um estudo de Psicologia com enfoque no comportamento dos indivíduos nomeados influenciadores digitais e seus seguidores. O problema norteador fixou-se na questão: o que leva sujeitos a serem suscetíveis às mudanças de seus comportamentos mediante o comando de alguém desconhecido? Assim, o objetivo geral se concentrou em como ocorre a atuação dos influencers nos espaços virtuais e seu impacto no comportamento dos indivíduos que os acompanham. As hipóteses tiveram o pressuposto de que os influenciadores necessitam criar e manter conceitos de felicidade; para isto suscitam formas de se expor, com isso, muitos indivíduos, na sociedade contemporânea, estão desenvolvendo doenças psíquicas, devido a essa necessidade de exposição. Como método, a pesquisa se fundamentou na observação e análises de seis influenciadoras brasileiras do gênero feminino, nas faixas etárias dos 20 aos 25 anos e dos 35 aos 40 anos, observando seus estilos de vida, assuntos abordados e os comentários produzidos pelos apoiadores e haters (expressão estrangeira que define usuários na internet que propagam discursos de ódio). Igualmente foi efetuada a revisão bibliográfica para a discussão teórica sob a luz de alguns estudiosos para compreender e explicar esse fenômeno. Como resultados e conclusões, percebeu-se que muitas influenciadoras, seguidores e até mesmo os haters estariam em simbiose com o narcisismo, o medo da exclusão, invisibilidade e a busca pela plena felicidade. Por outro lado, foi possível detectar que outras influenciadoras produzem informações de acréscimo social de forma útil e positiva.
Cuidador Informal: como são vistos pelos profissionais de saúde?
Authors: Mariano Graziela Pereira , Santos Irenilda Ângela dos
Published: February 2022

A saúde pública brasileira aponta para a necessidade de mudanças, que, entre outros fatores, dependem de uma atenção humanizada na perspectiva do cuidado integral da saúde dos internados e de seus cuidadores. Na saúde, deve-se considerar que a construção da relação entre sujeitos (paciente e cuidador) é um instrumento poderoso para que essa mudança ocorra. Este artigo tem como objetivo geral identificar a concepção dos profissionais do Hospital Universitário Júlio Muller quanto ao cuidado com a saúde do cuidador informal, para tanto o trabalho visa responder à seguinte pergunta problema: qual é a concepção de saúde e doença, sob a ótica dos profissionais de saúde, e as respectivas ações (ou atendimento) ofertadas por esses profissionais ao cuidador informal no período de internação do paciente? Como metodologia, foi utilizada a análise qualitativa, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com profissionais de saúde que atuam na clínica médica do HUJM. Parte-se da premissa de que o cuidador informal merece ser considerado como um membro integrante do processo de cuidados, em que seu bem-estar e promoção também sejam levados em consideração, assim como a prevenção de situações extremas requer, por parte dos profissionais de saúde, uma atenção particular, uma vez que deles também depende a recuperação dos pacientes internados. No entanto, da análise realizada no HUJM, foi possível constatar que existe uma falta de articulação entre o hospital e as possibilidades para a oferta de serviços de cuidador, que leva à necessidade de se rever questões de ordem estruturais e de comunicação entre o corpo hospitalar, os pacientes e os cuidadores.

Published: February 2022

This study investigates the effect of using Fume Silica (Aerosol 300) alone and together with crumb rubber (CR) in bitumen modification on the traditional and rheological properties of the binder and compares it to the SBS modified binder. Using the aerosol additive in the binder at the rates of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% were determined as the most convenient ratio and CR+aerosol modified binders were prepared per this ratio. The binders were subjected to the softening point, viscosity, frequency sweep, bending beam rheometer (BBR), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) tests in the context of the study. Besides, the optimum conditions were determined according to the response functions by designing an experiment with statistical regression according to the Response surface methodology (RSM). The results indicate that the optimum aerosol ratio is 1.5%. With the use of 1.5% aerosol in 6% CR modification per bitumen weight, it was found that (1) the softening point increases and the temperature sensitivity decrease in comparison to other binders, (2) the consistency of the binder increases, (3) the complex modulus values increase and become more resistant to rutting, (4) the low-temperature parameters enhance by performing more flexible behavior, (5) there may be physical changes in the structure even though there is no chemical reaction in the binder with the use of CR and aerosol additives, and (6) the experimental data and theoretical data obtained from the RSM method are consistent as per the statistical analysis.

The Umkehr observations over Kyiv (Ukraine) and Antarctic Peninsula areas were processed for the first time to retrieve and analyse the vertical distribution of ozone. The Umkehr observations have been pre-processed using the UMK92 software package proposed by the World Ozone and UV-radiation Data Centre (WOUDC). The set of the calculated vertical ozone profiles for Kyiv–Goloseyev station (2011–2020) and Akademik Vernadsky station (2005–2009) has been obtained. Analysis of ozone profiles observed with Dobson spectrophotometer D040 indicates that the maximum ozone concentration is located in the altitude range of 15–25 km with an average height of 19.8 ± 1.4 km. It corresponds to the layer of maximum ozone concentration in the mid-latitude stratosphere. The maximum ozone partial content in Dobson Units per the layers (DU/layer) with thickness of 5 km altitude for most of the years are of 60–80 DU/layer. There are also days with the maximum ozone content significantly larger than an average. A characteristic feature of the profiles is that the lower ozone content occur in summer and autumn months in the range of 60–75 DU/layer. The winter and spring profiles demonstrate higher ozone values at the maximum. To analyse the vertical profiles of ozone in Antarctic Peninsula area, we use Umkehr data from observations at the Akademik Vernadsky station with the Dobson D123 spectrophotometers in 2005–2009. The data processing and the calculation of the vertical ozone profiles was provided according to the methodology developed at the Kyiv–Goloseyev station. It is shown that the ozone profiles at the Akademik Vernadsky station vary in a wide range of values of the maximum ozone concentration from 40 to 110 DU/layer. Ozone content at maximum of vertical distribution was changing dramatically from day to day in the Antarctic region during the ozone hole period.
