Authors: Owenvbiugie Robinson Osarumwense
Published: July 2021

The study assessed the influence of resilience skill for the survival of SMEs in Edo State. Two research questions guided the study, while research question two was hypothesized and tested. 236 respondents were used using a proportionate sampling technique from a population of 1117 business owners. This is 23.63% of the population. A descriptive survey was used. A reliability coefficient of 0.77 was obtained with the use of Cronbach alpha formula. Data were obtained with the aid of a questionnaire. The research question was answered with mean, while t-test for the hypothesis. From the result, it was discovered that resilience skill influences SMEs survival. The two groups of entrepreneurs used for the study did not show any significant difference in possession of resilience skill for SMEs survival. It was concluded that resilience skill is needed by entrepreneurs to a high extent. It was also concluded that males do not differ significantly from female entrepreneurs in possessing resilience skill for SMEs survival. Consequently, it was recommended that appraisal of SMEs operations should be on a consistent basis to check for lapses, make improvement and increase customers’ goodwill, among others.
The anticipation of working experiences among students from private institutes in Klang Valley: A qualitative perspective
Authors: Law Kyra , Kue Wei Xin
Published: July 2021

As university students are entering a competitive workforce, getting a desirable job has become more demanding. Many universities offer industrial training or internship placements in their degree programmes. Thus, this study provides a qualitative perspective of anticipation of working experiences among university students in Klang Valley. This study is carried out in the form of face-to-face semi-structured interviews with ten university students in Klang Valley. The contents are analyzed by its content and code in themes. The results show that the anticipations of working experiences among university students fall into a few categories which are; relevant education, purposes and importance of working experiences as well as the challenges faced in the workforce. This study closes the gap between workforce expectation and students’ impractical expectations as it gives university students a better insight about working experience especially during their studies so that they can pre-plan their future. Overall, this study can benefit future university students by improving their expected skills which will lead to higher employers’ satisfaction.

Creating an Event Volunteering Legacy: The 2014 Host City Volunteer Initiative
Authors: Rogerson Robert J. , Reid Fiona , Nicholson Rafaelle
Published: July 2021

This article examines why as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Glasgow Life failed to achieve its aspired legacy of promoting further volunteering by Host City Volunteers (HCVs) despite the implementation of best practice. This practice included providing dedicated funding
of a volunteer legacy program, supporting recruitment from groups generally underrepresented among regular volunteers, and the provision of a dedicated team to support HCVs before, during, and after the event. Drawing on research conducted at the time of the event and a follow up study 3 years
later, the article suggests that the absence of such legacy arose because, although highly motivated by the one-off prestigious event, the event volunteers were less motivated by other opportunities, many of those involved as event volunteers were already committed volunteers, and were reluctant
to take over responsibility for engaging with future volunteering opportunities. The article considers the wider implications for future event managers seeking to generate volunteering legacies as part of major events. In so doing, it underlines that despite the scheme being constructed around
the key characteristics of the much-lauded benchmark model of event volunteering associated with the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games volunteering legacies cannot be guaranteed. Even when there is success in engaging with people markedly different to the common type of event volunteer in
underrepresented communities, translating their enthusiasm into postevent volunteering is problematic.

Published: July 2021

Education is a necessity for everyone. Educational activities are activities that are very important in human life and cannot be separated from their lives. With education, human needs regarding change and development can be fulfilled. The mean score of the pre-test results was 71.73, while the mean value of the post-test results was 79.61. From these data it can be seen that the pre-test result value is lower than the post-test score, so it can be interpreted that there are differences in student learning outcomes before and after using image media in the learning process. the completeness of the pre-test result value is 46.15%, while the post-test result value is 80.76%. From this data, it can be seen that using image media can affect student learning outcomes. Then from the hypothesis testing using the Product Moment Correlation test and the Paired Sample T-test with the help of SPSS 20 software in the sig (2-tailed) section, it isknown that 0.000 <0.05 The condition is if r count is smaller than r table, then H0 is accepted. and Ha is rejected and vice versa if r count is greater than r table (r count> r table) then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In fact, r count (0.977) is greater than r table (0.404). Thus H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. As the basis for decision making in the Product Moment Correlation test and decision guidelines based on the probability value, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that image media can affect the improvement of learning outcomes in Arabic language material for class VII at MTs. Muhammadiyah 12Palirangan
Gas migration mechanisms from accumulation to surface
Authors: Clayton C. J. , Hay S. J.
Published: July 2021

The driving force for gas migration is buoyancy, aided in some cases by sediment overpressure gradients (pressures above hydrostatic). Resistance to migration is controlled by the-capillary entry pressure into the pore network of the overlying sediments, or by their resistance to fracturing. It can be shown that migration mechanisms vary with depth. Below the upper few hundred metres gas migrates by invading the pore network of the sediment whereas at shallower depths fracturing may occur preferentially. Thus even though gas appears to seep into the water column from fractures it will be more dispersed below the sediment surface. In addition, gas shows a tendency to "pond" in near surface sediments, which can be explained as a function of sediment compaction with depth and decreasing gas-water interfacial tension.
Approximate calculations of seal leakage rates are possible using a modified Darcy flow equation. For capillary failure of a mudstone seal at 3 km depth, gas fluxes are in the order of .0015 m3/m2/year at ambient pressure or 0.23 m3/m2/year at surface conditions. Flow rates from fractured seals depend on the amount of time the fracture remains open. They vary from a value similar to that for capillary failure if the fracture is open for an average of one minute per year, to five or six orders of magnitude faster. The calculated capillary failure fluxes are comparable to measured surface gas seepage fluxes.
Metaphorical Creativity in Road Signs
Authors: Голубкова Е.Е. , Таймур М.П.
Published: July 2021

В статье проводится анализ феномена креативности в дорожных знаках, содержащих мономодальные визуальные, мультимодальные вербально-визуальные или смешанные метафоры. Актуальность исследования механизма возникновения феномена смешанной метафоры на материале изображений дорожных знаков, в которых наблюдаются креативные целенаправленные девиации от прототипа весьма высока, поскольку уровень возникающего когнитивного диссонанса у водителей транспортных средств и пешеходов при взаимодействии с дорожными знаками напрямую влияет на уровень безопасности и комфортности дорожного движения и в идеале должен быть приближен к нулю. В задачи исследования входит поэтапный анализ проблемы формирования смысла подобных метафор и изучение факторов, которые могут способствовать успешности расшифровки их смысла. Целью работы является изучение когнитивных и прагматических особенностей функционирования метафоры в дорожных знаках. Результаты исследования показали, что когнитивный диссонанс, возникающий у реципиента при инференции значения преобразованных знаков, может быть уравновешен действием механизма когнитивного резонанса. Диссонанс полезен при использовании знаков в качестве арт-объектов / рекламы / выражения юмора / критики и недопустим в контексте реальной ситуации дорожного движения, так как это может приводить к дорожным происшествиям и другим нежелательным последствиям.

The article analyzes the phenomenon of creativity in road signs as possible carriers of monomodal visual, multimodal verbal-visual, or mixed metaphors. The relevance of the mechanism of the emergence of the phenomenon of mixed metaphor on the material of images of road signs, in which creative purposeful deviations from the prototype are observed, is very high, since the level of development of cognitive purposeful deviations from the prototype are observed, is very high, since the level of development of cognitive dissonance in vehicle drivers and pedestrians when interacting with road signs directly affects the level of safety and quality of road traffic, and ideally should be close to zero. The tasks of the study include similar meta-research and factors that can be successful in deciphering the meaning of such signs. The aim of the research is to study cognitive and pragmatic functions of metaphors in road signs. The results of the study showed that the cognitive dissonance that provides the recipient with the meaning of the transformed signs during inference, can be balanced by the mechanism of cognitive resonance. Dissonance is useful when using signs as art objects / advertising / humor / criticism, while it is unacceptable in the context of a real traffic situation, as it can lead to traffic accidents and other undesirable consequences.
Mechanisms of Intertextuality and Means of Rendering Them in Translation from Russian into Chinese (illustrated by excerpts from A.Chekhov’s works)
Authors: Запруднова А.А.
Published: July 2021

В статье интертекстуальные включения в ткани принимающего текста рассматриваются как когнитивно выделенные компоненты высказывания, неизбежно оказывающиеся в фокусе внимания адресата. В качестве основного механизма перспективизации интертекстуальных отсылок рассматривается когнитивная операция сопоставления, что позволяет автору видеть в интертекстуальных отсылках метафору. Материалом исследования служат насыщенные аллюзиями произведения А. П. Чехова. Автор классифицирует интертекстуальные включения в текстах А. П. Чехова на мифологические, библейские и литературные и оценивает возможность их сохранения при переводе на китайский язык.

The paper offers a comprehensive study of cognitive processes and conceptual operations underlying intertextual inclusions, which make them the figure in the ground of the receiving text, thus bringing them to the focus of the addressee’s attention. The author suggests that intertextual inclusions can be viewed as metaphorical expressions due to the common mechanism of identification being the basis of the two. To make the research more argumentative the author analyses intertextual allusions in A. Chekov’s works which serve as material for research. The studied examples are classified into allusions to mythological, bible and literary works. The author attempts to convey the meaning of the allusions under analysis into Chinese and studies the factors influencing the possibility of the translation process.

Comparative analysis of the anaesthesia management of gynecological operations between the normal period and COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: UYAR TÜRKYILMAZ Havva Esra , AYDIN GÜZEY Nihan
Published: July 2021

Aim

In the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV/SARS-CoV-2) disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic period, one of the major objectives of the anaesthesia team was providing quality care for patients whose procedures cannot (or can no longer) be postponed while limiting the risk of contamination of these patients and healthcare professionals. The aim of this study is to analyse and document the changes in anaesthesia management of gynecological operations in accordance with this objective during the pandemic period.

Methods

A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who had gynecological operation from 01.09.2019 to 31.12.2020. Anaesthetic management of gynecological operations corresponding to the pandemic process (After Pandemic Group) were compared with anaesthetic management of gynecological operations from the before the pandemic process (Before Pandemic Group) . Anaesthesia records of the patients were examined. The following parameters are recorded: Surgery type, indication of the surgery, urgency of the surgery and anaesthesia method performed, airway management of the patients, used medications for the anaesthesia management.

Results

There was an increment in the percentage of operations performed with regional anaesthesia after the start of the pandemic. There was a statistically significant decrement in the percentage of operations performed with laparoscopic technique after the start of the pandemic. There was an increment in the percentage of operations with oncologycal or suspected oncologycal indications after the start of the pandemic; there was no difference in the percentage of urgent surgeries while there was a decrement in the percentage of operations with elective indications.

Conclusion

By taking alterations and fluctations in community prevalence into consideration, decisions about cancellation of surgeries must be made dynamically. Possibility of COVID-19 infection must be considered in every patient. In anaesthesia management, regional anaesthesia methods may be considered in appropriate cases. Proper PPE must be used if airway manipulations are needed.

Published: July 2021

Aim: It is recommended that dysfunctional voiding diagnosis should made by the repeated uroflowmetry simultaneously pelvic floor electromyography (UF-EMG) + post void residual measurements. However, there is no evaluation system for UF-EMG parameters regarding the clinical diagnosis, follow up and treatment of these patients. In our study, we aimed to create a new grading system for the diagnosis of dysfunctional voiding by using UF-EMG parameters.

Materia and Method: We have retrospectively obtained UF-EMG and lower urinary tract symptom score results that performed to the children whom applied to our clinic with the symptoms of dysfunctional voiding between 2010 and 2015. A total of 856 reports were included into this retrospective cohort analysis. The proper 610 UF-EMG tests were graded according to our grading system. The UF-EMG grading system is divided into 4 grades: Grade 0: No EMG activity and normal uroflowmetry, Gradenon-EMG: Disturbed flow pattern with no EMG activity, Grade 1: EMG activity with no disturbed flow pattern, Grade 2: EMG activity with minimally disturbed flow pattern, Grade 3: EMG activity with moderately disturbed flow pattern, Grade 4: EMG activity with extremely disturbed flow pattern.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the demographic data of patient and control groups (p>0.05). According to grading system, day and nighttime incontinence were statistically significant increases as the grades increases (respectively, p
LBT Reveals Large Dust Particles and a High Mass-loss Rate for K2-22 b

Published: July 2021

The disintegrating planet candidate K2-22 b shows periodic and stochastic transits best explained by an escaping debris cloud. However, the mechanism that creates the debris cloud is unknown. The grain size of the debris as well as its sublimation rate can be helpful in understanding the environment that disintegrates the planet. Here, we present simultaneous photometry with the g band at 0.48 μm and K

S
band at 2.1 μm using the Large Binocular Telescope. During an event with very low dust activity, we put a new upper limit on the size of the planet of 0.71 R
⊕ or 4500 km. We also detected a medium depth transit that can be used to constrain the dust particle sizes. We find that the median particle size must be larger than about 0.5–1.0 μm, depending on the composition of the debris. This leads to a high mass-loss rate of about 3 × 108 kg s−1, which is consistent with hydrodynamic escape models. If they are produced by some alternate mechanism such as explosive volcanism, it would require extraordinary geological activity. Combining our upper limits on the planet size with the high mass-loss rate, we find a lifetime of the planet of less than 370 Myr. This drops to just 21 Myr when adopting the 0.02 M
⊕ mass predicted from hydrodynamical models.
Mass and Radius Relations of Quarkyonic Stars Using an Excluded-volume Model
Authors: Sen Srimoyee , Sivertsen Lars
Published: July 2021

Inspired by the excluded-volume model for isospin symmetric quarkyonic matter of Jeong et al., we construct an excluded-volume model for a charge-neutral quarkyonic phase whose hadronic sector contains only neutrons. We refer to this model as quarkyonic neutron matter. We compute the equation of state for this model and solve the Tolman–Oppenhermer–Volkoff equations to obtain mass and radius relations relevant for neutron stars. The most straightforward extension of the model for symmetric quarkyonic matter of Jeong et al. to quarkyonic neutron matter does not satisfy the mass–radius constraints from neutron star measurements. However, we show that by incorporating appropriate nuclear interactions in the excluded-volume model, one can produce mass–radius relations that lie within the constraints obtained from gravitational waves of binary neutron star mergers and maximum-mass measurements of neutron stars.
Raman-scattered O vi Features in the Symbiotic Nova RR Telescopii
Authors: Heo Jeong-Eun , Lee Hee-Won , Angeloni Rodolfo , Palma Tali , Mille Francesco Di
Published: July 2021

RR Telescopii (RR Tel) is an interacting binary system in which a hot white dwarf (WD) accretes matter from a Mira-type variable star via gravitational capture of its stellar wind. This symbiotic nova shows intense Raman-scattered O vi 1032 and 1038 features at 6825 and 7082 Å. We present high-resolution optical spectra of RR Tel taken in 2016 and 2017 with the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE) spectrograph at the Magellan-Clay telescope, Chile. We aim to study the stellar wind accretion in RR Tel from the profile analysis of Raman O vi features. With an asymmetric O vi disk model, we derive a representative Keplerian speed of >35 km s−1, and the corresponding scale <0.8 au. The best fit for the Raman profiles is obtained with a mass-loss rate of the Mira

∞ ∼ 20 km s−1. We compare the MIKE data with an archival spectrum taken in 2003 with the Fiber-fed Extended Range Optical Spectrograph at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope. It allows us to highlight the profile variation of the Raman O vi features, indicative of a change in the density distribution of the O vi disk in the last two decades. We also report the detection of O vi recombination lines at 3811 and 3834 Å, which are blended with other emission lines. Our profile decomposition suggests that the recombination of O vii takes place nearer to the WD than the O vi 1032 and 1038 emission region.

Two recent large data releases for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), called DR4 and DR5, are available for public access. These data include temperature and polarization maps that cover nearly half the sky at arcminute resolution in three frequency bands; lensing maps and component-separated maps covering ∼2100 deg2 of sky; derived power spectra and cosmological likelihoods; a catalog of over 4000 galaxy clusters; and supporting ancillary products including beam functions and masks. The data and products are described in a suite of ACT papers; here we provide a summary. In order to facilitate ease of access to these data, we present a set of Jupyter IPython notebooks developed to introduce users to DR4, DR5, and the tools needed to analyze these data. The data products (excluding simulations) and the set of notebooks are publicly available on the NASA Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis; simulation products are available on the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center.

We study the population properties of merging binary black holes in the second LIGO–Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog assuming they were all formed dynamically in gravitationally bound clusters. Using a phenomenological population model, we infer the mass and spin distribution of first-generation black holes, while self-consistently accounting for hierarchical mergers. Considering a range of cluster masses, we see compelling evidence for hierarchical mergers in clusters with escape velocities ≳100 km s−1. For our most probable cluster mass, we find that the catalog contains at least one second-generation merger with 99% credibility. We find that the hierarchical model is preferred over an alternative model with no hierarchical mergers (Bayes factor

) and that GW190521 is favored to contain two second-generation black holes with odds

, and GW190519, GW190602, GW190620, and GW190706 are mixed-generation binaries with

. However, our results depend strongly on the cluster escape velocity, with more modest evidence for hierarchical mergers when the escape velocity is ≲100 km s−1. Assuming that all binary black holes are formed dynamically in globular clusters with escape velocities on the order of tens of km s−1, GW190519 and GW190521 are favored to include a second-generation black hole with odds

In France, a ‘natural zone of ecological, faunistic or floristic value’ (Zone Naturelle d'Intérêt Écologique, Faunistique et Floristique - ZNIEFF) is a natural area regionally known for its remarkable ecological characteristics. The ZNIEFF inventory is a naturalist and scientific survey program launched in 1982 by the Ecology Ministry, with support from the French National Museum of Natural History (MNHN).

This paper describes the ZNIEFF national dataset, which comprises 1 013 25 synthesised data for various animal (38%), vegetal (59%) and fungus (2%) species in terrestrial and marine zones (the last download took place on 26 May 2020). A total of 19 842 sites throughout continental France as well as in the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, La Réunion, French Guiana, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) are included in the ZNIEFF dataset (last download: 26 May 2020). This dataset is now available in open access.

All data were collected by skilled naturalists using professional protocols over almost 40 years. They consist mainly of observations of rare, threatened or endemic species, all validated by regional experts. Data is updated twice a year after national validation. Some of the observed of species, the so-called ‘trigger species’ or ‘determinant’ species, are of central interest for a site to be considered a ZNIEFF (zone of high ecological value). This concerns more than 35 000 taxa, mainly angiosperms, insects, fungi, birds and fish.
Molecular Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant Receptor Binding Domain in Complex with ACE2 Receptor
Authors: Padilla-Sanchez Victor
Published: July 2021

COVID19 pandemic has disrupted our lives since December 2019 causing millions of infections and deaths worldwide. After more than a year we have vaccines that are effective in preventing the disease even though we are far from finished to vaccinate most of the population. Certain countries are doing better vaccinating people while others are far behind and if that is not enough new variants have appeared that put at risk our progress on defeating COVID19. The virus SARS-CoV-2 is mutating and many mutations change the spike glycoprotein which binds to the human receptor ACE2 sometimes making the virus more infectious and able to evade immunity. One virus variant of concern (VoC) is the one called delta which is becoming prevalent very quickly among new infections. The delta variant is a real threat for many people that are not vaccinated. Here I present molecular dynamics of the receptor binding domain in complex with its receptor ACE2 to shed light on the structural interactions that make this variant more dangerous.

Background/Aims: The effect of hyperammonemia on the mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis is well documented. However, little is known about the impact of hyperammonemia on mortality among intensive care unit patients without hepatic disease. We aimed to investigate factors associated with non-hepatic hyperammonemia among intensive care unit patients and to evaluate the factors related to the 7- and 90-day mortality.Methods: Between February 2016 and February 2020, 948 patients without hepatic disease who had 972 episodes of admission to the intensive care unit were retrospectively enrolled and classified as hyperammonemia grades 0 (≤ 80 µg/dL; 585 [60.2%]), 1 (≤ 160 µg/dL; 291 [29.9%]), 2 (≤ 240 µg/dL; 55 [5.7%]), and 3 (> 240 µg/dL; 41 [4.2%]). Factors associated with hyperammonemia and the 7- and 90-day mortality were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis and Cox regression analysis, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the 7- and 90-day mortality were constructed.Results: The independent risk factors for hyperammonemia were male sex (odds ratio, 1.517), age (0.984/year), acute brain failure (2.467), acute kidney injury (1.437), prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (2.272/unit), and albumin (0.694/g/dL). The 90-day mortality rate in the entire cohort was 24.3% and gradually increased with increasing hyperammonemia grade at admission (17.9%, 28.2%, 43.6%, and 61.0% in patients with grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Additionally, non-hepatic hyperammonemia was an independent predictor of the 90- day mortality in intensive care unit patients.Conclusions: Non-hepatic hyperammonemia is common (39.8%) and associated with the 90-day mortality among intensive care unit patients.
L’Église comme hétérotopie signifiante. Une forme ecclésiale possible pour un christianisme de la dé-coïncidence
Authors: Mathot Benoit
Published: July 2021

Le philosophe François Jullien ne cesse de déployer au fil de ses derniers ouvrages le concept de « dé-coïncidence ». Ce concept, dont il a lui-même magnifiquement sondé les interactions avec le christianisme, est extrêmement stimulant pour la théologie. Toutefois, se pose la question de la traduction ecclésiale de ce qui serait un christianisme de la dé-coïncidence. C’est ici que, selon Benoit Mathot , la compréhension de l’Église comme hétérotopie signifiante développée par le théologien Pierre Gisel peut servir de guide et d’aiguillon.
Inconscient, langage et symbolisme chez Henri Bois. I. Inconscient, subconscient et croyances
Authors: Randriamanantena Mino
Published: July 2021

Dans ce premier volet d’une étude consacrée à Henri Bois répartie dans deux numéros successifs de la revue, Mino Randriamanantena montre que la psychologie religieuse de Henri Bois hérite de Pierre Janet les notions de subconscient et d’inconscient. L’inconscient désigne chez ce dernier le fait que la conscience ne parvient pas à hiérarchiser les tendances psychiques enfouies dans le subconscient. En appliquant ces notions à l’expérience religieuse, Henri Bois distingue deux étapes. L’étape religieuse consiste dans le dialogue intérieur, situé au niveau du moi subliminal, entre l’Esprit divin et l’esprit humain. L’étape psychologique permet à cette expérience spirituelle du moi subliminal d’accéder à la conscience par la médiation des croyances religieuses.
Ariel contre Ariel : Es 29,1-7 LXX vs TM
Authors: Le Moigne Philippe
Published: July 2021

Le début du chapitre 29 d’Ésaïe évoque la ville d’Ariel, inconnue par ailleurs ; le toponyme est simplement translittéré dans la Septante. Philippe Le Moigne propose cependant de donner à ce terme, en grec, un sens différent de celui que l’on s’accorde à donner au mot hébreu.
