Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Golovina S. G.
Published: December 2021

The article considers the development of the architectural and structural system of buildings in St. Petersburg during the reign of the Empress Anna Ioannovna. During this period, there were worked out space-planning and design solutions, which were successfully and almost invariably used throughout the XVIII - XIX centuries. Vaulted passageways in the main street buildings leading to the inner courtyard, rafter roof structures over cold not heated attics, unique designs of spires and tiered completions of temples - these are some of the constructive developments of this era. Generalizing the experience of the structures` development allows appreciating the evolution of construction skills, identifying and preserving the historical structural elements of the buildings of the city center.

The paper presents the results of testing the slab of formwork-free molding (PB slab) for strength, as well as numerical study of the finite element model of this slab. It is shown that with an angular cutout in the PB slab, its load bearing capacity decreases and the nature of fracture changes. Partial compensation for the load-bearing capacity reduction of the slab with such a cutout can be achieved by reducing the pre-stressing reinforcement value of reinforcement rods cut off during the formation of the cutout, or by redistributing the reinforcement along the cross-section of the slab.

The article presents the experience of constructing buildings on surface foundations in winter season. Within the frames of the investigation, there were evaluated temperatures in the base composed of heaving soils, as well as foundation displacements during the winter period. There have been were performed calculations of temperature fields and soil heaving deformation using the Termoground program. It is shown that despite the relatively big depth of the base soil freezing, the maximum displacements of the foundations did not exceed 7 mm, which is quite acceptable for a frame building.
The Only Known Text from Bala, an Extinct Tungusic Language
Authors: Hölzl Andreas
Published: December 2021

Bala (bala1242) is an extinct Tungusic language formerly spoken in and around the Zhangguangcai mountain range in Northeast China. The language is only fragmentarily recorded. This study analyzes a song that is the only known text of this language and was written with the help of Chinese characters. The language of the song is close to Manchu dialects but exhibits clear signs of a mixture with a more archaic variety. The underlying language is probably from a higher register of Bala that is strongly influenced by Manchu but at the same time preserves several unique characteristics, such as an intervocalic -g- in dege(ng) 德更 ‘high’ (Manchu den).

The problem of waste management is acute in the Russian Federation. Not enough attention is paid to the systematic studies of their composition and properties. The purpose of the work is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of data on waste generated, to select models for predicting their mass, composition, and properties, to substantiate the feasibility of using exergetic analysis to assess safety and make informed decisions on the management of solid municipal waste management. To predict the volume of waste generation, the following were used: an integrated autoregression model — a moving average and exponential smoothing models. The study of changes in the composition and properties of the municipal solid waste, the choice of technology and the assessment of safety in waste management were carried out using the exergetic method. Its advantages are determined by the possibility of conducting a comprehensive energy-ecological assessment and determining the fire hazard of waste and the processes of handling them. The application of the Holt-Winters model for predicting the mass of the generated waste is substantiated. The analysis of changes in the morphological composition of waste, their distribution by types of economic activity is carried out. The values of chemical exergy of municipal solid waste are determined, and a forecast of its further growth is constructed. The dependences of chemical exergy on the heat of combustion of waste are found. It is determined that it is advisable to consider chemical exergy as a heat engineering characteristic and an indicator of fire and environmental hazard of waste. It is proved that the exergetic efficiency of the incineration process is higher than that of composting and burial. Transportation of garbage from the large cities by road and rail transport for subsequent disposal and recycling can be considered as a forced temporary measure during the development of the branch of industry and the formation of a waste management culture. For the application of the exergy method in the system for ensuring safety when handling solid municipal waste, a data mining system was developed. It is advisable to use the obtained results for the development of safety requirements for the management of production and consumption waste in the Russian Federation.

The results are presented concerning improving the thermostatic method for studying the chemical compatibility of modern industrial emulsion explosives based on the ammonium nitrate with surrounding materials, the increased reactivity of which can lead to spontaneous ignition and even explosion. An assessment of the compatibility of emulsion explosives with sulphide ores was conducted using an original thermocouple methodology developed at the D. Mendeleyev University of Chemical Technology of Russia, fixation of the thermal effects of the interaction of shell-free explosives based on the ammonium nitrate with sulfide minerals. Improved thermocouple method allows to determine chemical compatibility of the industrial explosives with the reactive rocks. It is distinguished by the possibility of continuous recording of the thermocouple measurements during tests using an oscilloscope and combines the reliability of the results with small laboratory weights of the test samples (no more than 20 g, which ensures safety testing). Temperature measurement accuracy is ± 2 °С. It is concluded that the method used is able to identify the cases of the most dangerous interaction from the practice point of view using the emulsion explosives when the pyrite content in the ore exceeds 85 %. The results of experiments on the applicability of thermocouple measurements to testing low-activity rocks, highly reactive pyrite ores, mixed sulfide ores of medium activity, as well as on the identification of the main regularities of heat release during the interaction of emulsion explosives with the sulfide ores are considered.

Published: December 2021

The research of the mode of deformation of the “femur - fixation device” system is done for intramedullary nailing of the distal end fractures of the femur (fracture A1 in AO classification) by the finite element method. The models differ by their distance between the plane of fracture and the articular surface of the femur: model 1 – the plane of the fracture is 5 cm from the articular surface of the femur; model 2 – the plane of the fracture is 6,5 cm from it; model 3 – theplane of the fracture is 8 cm from the articular surface of the femur. The received results convincingly demonstrate the advantage, both in terms of strength and stiffness, of the connection formed by intramedullary nailing on the distance of 8cm (model 3).

Published: December 2021

One of the important challenges that our society faces as a whole and medicine in particular is the formation and development of prenatal culture (or parenthood culture) which will help to raise a generation which treats the childbirth as natural and joyous event in their lives. Childbirth is an expected, mysterious and unforgettable stage of life for each woman. Pain will be soon forgotten – it’s the woman’s nature and the sole moment of the birth of a little wonder will remainin her memory. For the labour to be normal, we should pay special attention to psychological preparation of the pregnant woman. The article deals with the problems of the woman’s attitude to her pregnancy, to the labour and delivery. These data could be used in maternity and paternity schools while developing the curriculum.

A Framework Enabling Real-time Multi-user Collaborative Workflow in 3D Digital Content Creation Software
Authors: Martinez Swann , Chen Chu-Yin
Published: December 2021

This paper reports on a graph-based approach to enable real-time update of 3D shared elements over the network between multiple artists working simultaneously on the same 3D scene. It presents an experimental framework for exploring real-time collaboration in Digital Content Creation such as animation. The framework combines a push- pull network architecture and data translation protocol with hybrid command/data replication mechanisms. This enables the synchronization of object components and hierarchy between multiple instances of the same Digital Content Creation application in a non-destructive way. Conflicts between users are prevented with a strong right management system. We demonstrate the interest of such an approach by means of an application example in Blender and discuss collaborative experimental sessions outcomes over a Local Area Network and through the Internet.

Authors:   Faculty of Accountancy, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, Rodzi Nur Amira , Ismail Aida Hazlin ,   Faculty of Accountancy, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia
Published: December 2021

Audit quality has been addressed and is being discussed globally, throughout the years. The Enron Corporation and WorldCom cases have affected the reputation of the audit profession. The credibility of auditors also has become more questionable as the auditors' function in identifying mistakes and fraud is being debated by the public. However, the issue of audit quality has only focused on big firms only. There is shortage of studies that focussed on audit quality in small and medium audit firms. In line with this issue, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between top management support, auditor’s experience and auditor’s accountability on audit quality amongst small-medium audit firms in Malaysia. By employing the Attribution Theory, the study utilised purposive sampling. The data used in this study was primary data obtained through questionnaires from external auditors in small and medium sized audit firms around Klang Valley. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed and the number of usable questionnaires was 81. Findings indicate that auditor’s experience and auditor’s accountability have a significant effect on audit quality. This research thus contributes to standard setters, regulators, policymakers and other audit firms by providing evidence with regard to the determinants of audit quality judgment in Malaysian small and medium audit firms. Keywords: audit quality, small and medium audit firms, audit judgments, accountability, audit experience
The Influence of Humor Styles on the Level of Academic Self-C Concept (ASC)
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Raboca Horia Mihai , Cotoranu Daniela ,   Babes-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca
Published: December 2021

The use of humor by teachers can have a positive effect on improving the level of academic self concept and implicitly on motivation and academic results. The present research aimed to investigate to what extent the humor styles practiced by teachers influence the level of academic self-concept (ASC) of students. A number of 117 students who were enrolled in the master's programs in the field of public administration within the Faculty of Political, Administrative and Communication Sciences (FSPAC), Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca answered a questionnaire. Our research shows that there is a link between the humor styles practiced by teachers and the level of ASC of students. Also, the findings indicate that the use of humor in the educational process can play a greate role, namely it can increase or decrease the level of ASC among students. In this sense, although the influence of students' humor styles on the ASC level of students is relatively weak, the connection is still significant.

Efectos reales de impulsos tecnológicos: el caso de Puerto Rico
Authors: Alemar Emanuelle A. , Rodríguez Carlos A.
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo estudia los efectos de impulsos tecnológicos reflejados en cambios anticipados y no anticipados en la productividad factorial total sobre las fluctuaciones macroeconómicas en Puerto Rico. Con estos fines, se emplean técnicas bayesianas para estimar los parámetros del proceso tecnológico de un modelo de equilibrio general dinámico y estocástico de la familia de modelos de Ciclos Económicos Reales de Hansen (1985) con datos macroeconómicos de Puerto Rico. Se halla que los impulsos tecnológicos en la Isla tienen efectos amplificadores sobre la producción y las horas de trabajo, pues impulsos de pequeña o moderada magnitud resultan en fluctuaciones de mayor magnitud en estas variables. Por otro lado, se estima que el paso del Huracán María resultó en una reducción de 4.2 puntos porcentuales en la productividad factorial total en el cuarto trimestre de 2017, el cual está asociado con contracciones de hasta 9 puntos porcentuales en la producción y de 7 puntos porcentuales en las horas de trabajo en el mismo periodo.

Nuestro país ha incluido en décadas recientes el reconocimiento constitucional de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas y se han establecido una serie de políticas públicas con el objetivo de alojar las demandas y necesidades de las comunidades. Sin embargo, la pandemia ha dejado en evidencia la urgencia de garantizar derechos mínimos para el cuidado de la salud. Las diferentes comunidades se han sostenido desde sus saberes ancestrales y desde diferentes formas de organización y resistencia, pero las deudas históricas han generado situaciones de mayor vulnerabilidad en comparación con otras poblaciones.
Pyhän Franciscuksen jalanjäljissä – Papit muistisairaiden ihmisten uskonnollisuuden tukena hoivakodeissa
Authors: Pirhonen Jari
Published: December 2021

Muistisairaudet yleistyvät Suomessa väestön ikääntyessä. Hoivakotien asukkaista jo nyt valtaosalla on diagnostisoitu muistisairaus. Perustuslaki takaa kaikille oikeuden ilmaista ja harjoittaa omaa uskontoaan, mutta miten oikeus taataan silloin, kun ihminen ei sairautensa vuoksi edes muista aina olevansa uskossa? Artikkelissa tutkin, millaisin keinoin evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon papit tukevat vaikeasti muistisairaiden ihmisten uskonnollisuutta hoivakodeissa. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kymmenestä papin teemahaastattelusta. Olen analysoinut aineistoa sekä aineistolähtöisen että teoriaohjaavan sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenä toimii vammaisuuden teologia. Tulosten mukaan muistisairaiden ihmisten uskonnollisuutta tuetaan mahdollistamalla kirkollisiin tilaisuuksiin osallistuminen erityisesti hartauksissa ja tarjoamalla mahdollisuuksia henkilökohtaisiin kohtaamisiin papin kanssa. Muistisairaiden uskonnollisuuden tukemisessa pappeja auttaa sukupolvitaju eli ymmärrys parhaillaan hoivakodeissa asuvien ihmisten sukupolvikokemuksista. Papin näkyvillä ja saatavilla oleminen hoivakodissa on myös tärkeä työkalu muistisairaiden asukkaiden uskonnollisuuden tukemisessa. Artikkeli osoittaa, että uskonnollisuutta voidaan tukea vielä silloinkin, kun ihminen on muistisairautensa vuoksi jo sanallisen kommunikaation ulottumattomissa.
Biodiversity Economy and conservation territorialization: a pyrrhic strategy in Kwazulu-Natal
Authors: Nel Adrian
Published: December 2021

Post-apartheid Kwazulu-Natal is in the midst of ecological and social crises related to land ownership, resource control, minerals extraction, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. The environs of the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi National Park are a violent environment, where the immediate violence of an anti-poaching 'war' waged over fears of Rhinoceros extinction, is counter-posed to the slow violence permeating the lives of marginal rural residents affected by the externalities of coal mining. A range of struggles are waged against these challenges, but a hegemonic 'Biodiversity Economy' intervention has arisen, attended by projects aimed at territorializing conservation space and multiple-win scenarios. Based on four years of intermittent research in the area, this article critiques the territorialization of conservation, project outcomes, and commercialization efforts within the Umfozi Biodiversity Economy Node (UBEN). I contend that a biodiversity economy nodal approach extends neoliberal conservation strategies, and functions as a spatial aggregator to reterritorialize conservation land use over space and time. However, the findings suggest that, despite years of energy and investment there have only been limited individual successes in the UBEN, and a range of frustrations, compounded by COVID-19 complications. The analysis also highlights further costs and externalities of the initiative: as the UBEN exacerbates underlying tensions in Kwazulu-Natal's uneven conservation geography, and it aligns with problematic and often unrepresentative traditional authority structures and related accumulation networks. It is also complicit with the production of sacrificial spaces at the conservation-extraction nexus.In this context, I argue the UBEN is pyrrhic; that is, an outcome or goal strived for/achieved at too little reward and too high a cost. The article extends political-ecological critique of neoliberal conservation and the green economy to incorporate the framing and implementation of biodiversity economy nodal approaches – and their uneven and pyrrhic effects – in contested, crisis-ridden conservation contexts.

Mindfulness Training's Effect of Pain Outcomes in Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Review
Authors: Cruze Elizabeth , Games Kenneth
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Athletic trainers frequently address and treat musculoskeletal pain (MSK). Complementary and alternative techniques for treating pain are becoming more widely accepted and utilized in clinical practice. Mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is a meditation-based program that is designed to help patients learn to feel things in a non-judgmental way. Previous systematic reviews on mindfulness training have focused a range of conditions including IBS, fibromyalgia, and migraines. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine if the literature supports the use of MBSR as an intervention for MSK pain. Methods: We completed a systematic review utilizing PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria were English language, human subjects, peer reviewed, randomized controlled trial, mindfulness training as an intervention, and MSK pain as an outcome measure. An electronic search was conducted using the single phrase “mindfulness training and musculoskeletal pain”. PubMed, Cochran Database, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar were searched. Articles were first eliminated by title, and then by abstract contents. Remaining articles were given a full review and articles not meeting inclusion criteria were eliminated. Articles were assessed using the PEDRO scale with a cutoff score of 6 used to determine inclusion in the systematic review. Final analysis included 19 articles. Results: Study populations included patients diagnosed with cancer, nonspecific low back pain, chronic MSK pain, chronic tension headache, Gulf War illness, upper extremity injury, and one study employed healthy subjects and used experimentally induced pain. Intervention lengths ranged from single day to 10 weeks. Of the 19 studies in the analysis, nine of them indicated statistically significant results in favor of the meditation group for pain outcomes. Other studies noted improvement in the meditation group, but results did not reach statistically significant levels. Conclusion: MBSR has the potential to provide a beneficial effect in the treatment of MSK pain. The results of this systematic review indicate that the benefits of MBSR treatment may depend on the specific patient population and type of MSK pain. Further research is needed, but the systematic review suggests that MBSR may be an effective tool as part of a larger, complementary, and patient-centered care plan.

O tema deste estudo é o manejo dos sintomas de ansiedade social vivenciados por crianças em psicoterapia individual, que se demonstraram como entraves para o andamento do tratamento. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em descrever as estratégias utilizadas em cinco atendimentos de psicoterapia breve focal, com base na abordagem cognitivo-comportamental, com crianças de 8 a 13 anos que apresentaram os sintomas durante as sessões em um serviço-escola da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre/RS. A metodologia utilizada foi o delineamento qualitativo descritivo e os cuidados éticos foram devidamente respeitados. Como resultados desse estudo serão apresentadas alternativas de intervenção utilizadas para o manejo clínico destes pacientes. Houve semelhanças e diferenças entre as técnicas utilizadas. E algumas delas foram: postura terapêutica de valorização das preferências do paciente e utilização de tais interesses no processo psicoterápico, orientação de pais com foco em gerar um ambiente seguro que favorecesse a expressão do paciente, utilização de atividades lúdicas como estratégias de mudança do foco para facilitação do diálogo e para psicoeducação das emoções e a autorrevelação. Nos casos estudados, os sintomas de ansiedade social se manifestaram no ambiente terapêutico dificultando a interação com o paciente e o avanço da psicoterapia. Estratégias como estas demonstraram-se funcionais e efetivas, quando adaptadas individualmente, de modo que favoreceram o avanço do processo psicoterápico. No entanto, destaca-se que a sensibilidade dos terapeutas foi fundamental para perceber a necessidade de cada paciente e flexibilizar o uso das técnicas.
ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ВПЛИВУ ТЕМПЕРАТУРИ НА ЗМІНУ РОЗМІРУ КОНТРОЛЬНИХ ЛІНІЙОК ІЗ ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ ІНДИКАТОРА ГОДИННИКОВОГО ТИПУ

Актуальність теми дослідження. Вимірювання малих переміщень є важливим завданням інженерної геодезії. Виміри з похибкою діапазону 0,001–0,1 мм називають технічними. Для виконання таких вимірювань розробляють спеціальне обладнання та методики роботи на ньому. Контрольні лінійки та взірцеві міри використовують для метрологічної повірки обладнання. Найбільше на зміну розміру виробу впливає температура. Розробка методів для високоточної фіксації малих переміщень від зміни температури є актуальним завданням. Постановка проблеми. Виміряти мале переміщення з високою точністю дуже складно. Для цього використовують інтерферометри. Запропонувати новий високоточний метод вимірювання малих переміщень. Дослідити можливість використання пропонованого методу для визначення лінійного розширення контрольних лінійок. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Розглянуто публікації у відкритому доступі щодо лінійного розширення матеріалу, приладів та методів фіксації малих переміщень. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Використання індикаторів годинникового типу замість інтерферометрів. Дослідження зміни розміру контрольних лінійок у разі зміни температури. Перевірка формул температурного лінійного розширення для конкретного досліджуваного взірця. Мета статті. Дослідити зміну довжини контрольних лінійок від температури з використанням індикаторів годинникового типу. Виклад основного матеріалу. Використання індикаторів годинникового типу дає змогу відслідковувати зміну розміру контрольних лінійок у разі зміни температури і, у свою чергу, дає можливість перевірки формули температурного лінійного розширення для конкретного досліджуваного взірця, а не тільки фіксувати розмір. Також нами встановлено, що швидка зміна температури, більше ніж на 1,50 до десяти хвилин, викликає нелінійну зміну довжини досліджуваних взірців. Цей факт необхідно враховувати під час вимірювань контрольними лінійками в польових умовах при різких перепадах температури. Обчислені коефіцієнти кореляції зміни розміру від температури та зміни розміру в часі під впливом температури. Для контролю одержаних результатів було визначено зміну довжини контрольних лінійок з використанням лазерного інтерферометра. Зі зміною температури у 8.50 С контрольний метр змінив свій розмір на 0,18 та 0,16 мм (відповідно лазерний інтерферометр і індикатор годинникового типу). Висновки відповідно до статті. Запропоновано методику визначення малих переміщень використовуючи індикатор годинникового типу. Встановлено коефіцієнти кореляції зміни величини в часі під впливом зміни температури. Уточнено коефіцієнти лінійного розширення для латуні та сталі. Практична цінність проведених досліджень у тому, що запропонована методика дозволяє проводити метрологічну перевірку (позачергову, біжучу) еталонів довжини без застосування класичних еталонів таких, як лазерні інтерферометри.
