Authors:   Kostroma State University, Galinskaya Oksana Yu.
Published: March 2022

The Kostroma and Yaroslavl provinces, which were part of the Central Industrial Region, were distinguished by high rates of industrial development. The modernization processes of the post-reform period were accompanied by positive dynamics of the urban population. The growth of provincial centers revealed the limitations of the housing that existed in the city, and became one of the factors in the formation of the housing market. One of the consequences of the discrepancy between the number of residential premises and the increased demand for housing was the spread of epidemic diseases due to overcrowding in cities. The article discusses the main activities of city public administrations to participate in solving the housing issue, the emergence of which refers the end of XIX – early XX centuries.
A Postura de Trânsito aprovada pela Assembleia Municipal de Maputo à luz dos princípios do direito
Authors: Banze Zélio Ivan
Published: March 2022

O presente trabalho de pesquisa parte de duas premissas, a primeira é de que os actos normativos são uma das formas de manifestação do poder de polícia e a segunda é de que um dos limites do poder de polícia são os princípios do direito. A partir destes dois pressupostos faz uma análise da Postura de Trânsito vigente no Município de Maputo à luz dos princípios da presunção de inocência, do contraditório e da proporcionalidade. A análise é feita através de uma abordagem qualitativa recorrendo a consulta bibliográfica e legislativa. A consulta bibliográfica, foi constituída por doutrina brasileira, portuguesa e a legislativa que resultou na análise de legislação Moçambicana, Portuguesa e de dois Acórdãos Brasileiros. Como resultado, a pesquisa concluiu que a Postura de Trânsito vigente no Município de Maputo viola o princípio da presunção de inocência pelo facto de, constatada a infracção por parte do Agente da Polícia Municipal, que consiste no estacionamento em lugar proibido, o cidadão é presumidamente considerado culpado e obrigado a pagar imediatamente a multa, sob pena de ver sua viatura removida, sem espaço para abertura de um processo de averiguação. A norma ainda viola o princípio do contraditório pois, não se dá ao cidadão a oportunidade de contradizer e também viola o princípio da proporcionalidade, pois, nota-se uma grande desproporcionalidade entre ausência da presunção de inocência e do direito do contraditório na esfera jurídica do cidadão e o fim público que se pretende atingir com estas medidas. A falta de previsão legal de fiscalização das posturas municipais pelo órgão que tutela o Município de Maputo contribui para estas limitações legais exageradas.
A Protecção no Emprego Doméstico: Estudo Sobre a Cidade e Província do Maputo
Authors: Come Lúcia
Published: March 2022

A presente pesquisa teve um objectivo fundamental: avaliar o catálogo dos direitos dos trabalhadores domésticos em Moçambique, assim como a sua implementação, quer internamente, quer no contexto internacional e regional. O trabalho tenciona demonstrar as limitações do Decreto No. 40/2008, de 26 de Novembro, em consideração das vicissitudes dos trabalhadores domésticos em termos jurídicos em Moçambique, assim como encontrar mecanismos para procurar soluções favoráveis a tais trabalhadores. O baixo nível de formação dos trabalhadores domésticos, associado à carência de conhecimento do regime legal que regulamenta o trabalho doméstico, quer do lado dos trabalhadores, quer dos empregadores, constitui uma das causas de discriminação contra esta classe de trabalhadores em Moçambique. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida mediante uma abordagem qualitativa, em que vários instrumentos legais foram analisados, coerentemente com os aspectos práticos verificados no terreno. O método bibliográfico e indutivo também não deve ser esquecido, pois ele representou um elemento extremamente relevante para se tomar um posicionamento com relação aos resultados alcançados. Como resultado, o trabalho mostrou que a República de Moçambique não apresenta condições favoráveis para os trabalhadores domésticos. Com efeito, eles enfrentam grandes dificuldades, como salários baixos, arbitrariedades, discriminação ou também falta de respeito e consideração, que mina seus direitos pessoais. Finalmente, foi possível verificar que Moçambique é um dos poucos países na região que não tem aderido, ou seja, não tem ratificado a Convenção ILO 189, relativa ao trabalho doméstico.

Authors: Melian Denisa Maria , Dumitrache Andreea , Stancu Stelian , Nastu Alexandra
Published: March 2022

Telecommunications is one of the most dynamic sectors in the market, where the customer base is an important pawn in receive safe revenues, so is important to focus attention is paid to maintaining them with an active status. Migrating customers from one network to another varies among telecommunication companies depending on different factors such as call quality, pricing plan, minute consumption, data, sms facilities, customer billing issues, etc. Determining an effective predictive model helps detect early warning signals when churn occurs and assigns to each customer a score called “churn score” that indicates the likelihood that the individual might migrate to another network over a predefined time period. To this extent, the present paper uses more than 10k customers sample of a telecommunication company and tries to analyse the churn behavior. The aim of the paper is both to test the efficiency and performance of the most commonly used data mining techniques to predict the churn behavior and to underline the main indicators that can be used when conducting such analyses. Knowing the magnitude of the churn phenomenon, the company can prevent the instability that is going to occur by applying a series of measure in order to increase the retention of the current customers.
European Experience of Decentralization in a Civil Society in the Postmodern Era
Authors: Babarykina Nadiia , Venger Olga , Sergiіenko Tetiana , Gotsuliak Volodymyr , Marmilova Olha
Published: March 2022

In the postmodern era, European political philosophy has introduced several concepts. These concepts have ideologically prepared Western countries for decentralization reform. Being still “in process”, reflection on the proper structure of postmodern society is marked by ambiguous and often contradictory ideas. The very view on the state as a de-hierarchical, rhizomorphic and horizontal phenomenon presupposes numerous ways of reforming it. Throughout their histories, European countries have shifted from confrontations, hostilities and rivalries towards new mechanisms of fruitful relationships between civil society and state institutions. Nowadays, many aspects are influencing the elaboration and implementation of strategies on civil society development in different countries. These aspects include the following: different starting conditions; the presence or absence of basic principles of public space development; the possibility of fulfilling civic practices’ potential; the level of political participation. West European countries have managed to create a viable structure to support the development of civil society, as well as maintain a stable dialogue between it and the state. However, the process is still on: effective practices of interaction between them are being developed; conditions for more effective cooperation are being improved; new financial instruments are being created and implemented. All Central and East European countries have a common understanding of civil society as one of the most important actors in developing cooperation with the government. At the same time, they should be able to solve existing essential problems, such as low awareness about global development problems and the population’s unreadiness to meet the immediate objectives of civil society development.
The Universe as an Aesthetic Symbolism of Postmodernity
Authors: Kostiuchkov Serhii , Shaposhnykova Iryna , Yurina Yulia , Forostian Anatolii , Kuznetsov Serhii
Published: March 2022

The article reveals the philosophical, worldview, aesthetically-axiological aspects of considering the universe as a symbolic phenomenon of the postmodern era. It is emphasized that the analysis of beauty, as the basic category of aesthetics, needs to find out its aggregate nature, depending on the individual and social semantic characteristics of reality. One of the key points of such an analysis is its metaphysical problematic – the direct emergence of constructive emotion into the realm of the transcendental, namely, the view of Man from the Universe from the standpoint of eternity. The timeliness and necessity of considering the problem of the symbolic context of the universe is obvious in the context of the third millennium, the realities of which call into question the very fact of conservation of wildlife on Earth. In the minds of assimilating the finality of the earthly boot, its primarity of progressive stochasticity, in the midst of the amplification of the eschatological context, the people of the era of postmodernity are demonstrating the development of the fastflowing, hardened nonsense. In the philosophical tradition, the symbol is the role of a pure "selfness", not tied to the powerful moment of the object: the symbolic picture does not reflect reality, as it is - the symbol of knowing the "refair" in the sphere of the virtual. It is proved that for the modern man the Universe is the object of not only scientific, technological, but also philosophical, cultural studies, it synthesizes for the unity of the object of scientific interest, a symbol of aesthetic pleasure and a source of formation of appropriate images and archetypes.
Universal “Music” in the Prose of the Postmodern Era
Authors: Musiy Valentina , Malynovskyi Artur , Mizinkina Olena , Tombulatova Iraida
Published: March 2022

The article focuses on the prose works of several modern writers (Paola Capriolo, Chuck Palahniuk, Olga Tokarchuk, Andrei Lyubka, Goran Tribuson, Roman Kofman). All these works are united by the image of the musician and the motive of listening to the music. Thus, the music in the article is considered as an universal.First of all - problems of life and death, the main values of life, the opposition “sacred - infernal”. The purpose of the article is to investigate how the era of postmodern influenced the author's concept of music. In each of the works the form of the narrative is subjective. As a rule, the reader gets acquainted with the act of self-reflection of the personage who is looking for a way out of the mazes of everyday life. Therefore, the impression of an author's absence is created. However, the picture of the personage’s inner life at the moment of experiencing his encounter with music helps to understand what the author's conception of the world is like. In each of the works - the tragic idea of the world as chaos, the unpredictability of reality dominates, so death is perceived as liberation. And on the boundary between “here” and “there”, “life” and “death” the person is accompanied by music. The authors of the article draw on such categories of narratology as the “point of view”, the “subject plan”, “elf-reflection”, as well as on analysis of the structure of the discourse and the structure of the narrative in it.
Totalitarian and Democratic Rhetoric as an Indicator of the Relations of Power in the Contemporary Information Society
Authors: Prepotenska Maryna , Pronoza Inna , Naumkina Svitlana , Khlivniuk Tetiana , Marmilova Olha , Patlaichuk Oksana
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to study of totalitarian and democratic types of rhetoric. The classical dichotomy of rhetorical influence has been discovered: monologic use of rhetoric as a verbal weapon through propaganda, demagoguery, populism, creation of the image of an enemy, division of society (totalitarian type of rhetoric) and dialogical use of rhetoric as consolidating communication, truth-seeking, social consent and understanding (democratic type of rhetoric). It is shown that the trigger of democratic and totalitarian regimes is the existential of freedom.
The active influence of the postmodern rhetoric of the information age in its performativity in the acquisition of snack culture is determined, which significantly strengthens the manipulative strategies. Totalitarian tendencies of digital rhetoric are found in information warfare technologies (network trolling, mobbing, hype, hatering, holy waring, click-baiting, sockpuppeting), in the processes of censorship, ambivalence and negativism of information, spreading fake news, igniting conflicts in mass media. Militarization of vocabulary and spread of obscene language in ordinary communication as factors of compensatory aggression of the population, the danger of excessive information transparency of people’s private lives are noted. Democratism of the digital rhetoric is manifested in such phenomena as the direct creation of e-democracy, access of citizens to e-voting, e-services, e-petitions, overcoming digital inequality, the ability to communicate with officials and public officers live on TV and radio, in social networks. Democratic principles of rhetoric, especially in Ukraine as a state of “transitional democracy” should be supported by quality education, fostering critical thinking and activity of civil society.
The Semiotic Approach to Literary Translation

Published: March 2022

The current study aims to make an overall semiotic analysis of translation strategies used to reproduce the imagery and relevant cultural features in John Fowles’ “The Collector.” Regarding literary translation as a cross-cultural dialogue aimed to achieve both artistic and aesthetic effects contributes much to analyzing the semiotic features of the translated discourse and deciphering the relevant socio-cultural information decoded in the source language text. Therefore, it has been decided that translation is a communicative act that facilitates the transfer of meaning in a cross-cultural perspective and focuses on reproducing the source language semiosphere. The semiotic approach is well-established in translation studies with the subtlety of methods and criteria. Therefore, it was considered that the analysis of lexico-semantic, grammatical and stylistic translation strategies would usefully supplement and extend the scope of literary text research. In the current study, comparing the source and target language texts has shown that the translator employs various translation transformations to transmit the author’s pragmatic intent and socially relevant information in the target language.
Życie rodzinne w czasach niepewności – wyzwania i dylematy
Authors: Taranowicz Iwona
Published: March 2022

Celem artykułu jest krótkie przedstawienie społecznych warunków tworzenia współczesnej rodziny. Podstawą jej istnienia jest samospełnienie emocjonalne jej członków. Wielość wzorów życia rodzinnego, niejasność scenariuszy ról, niestabilność źródeł utrzymania, kontraktowy charakter więzi rodzinnej nie ułatwiają jednostkom realizacji tego celu. Zmuszone do ciągłego rozstrzygania dylematów związanych z koniecznością dokonywania wyborów, jednostki znajdują się w sytuacji swoiście anomicznej. Nie tylko związek partnerski czy rodzicielstwo wiążą się z podjęciem decyzji, ale cały porządek codziennego życia jest efektem stałych wyborów i negocjacji. Realizacja niektórych, spośród wielu oferowanych przez rynek i systemy eksperckie, schematów działania przesądza nie tylko o kształcie jednostkowego życia rodzinnego i formie rodziny, lecz także o ich, przynajmniej czasowej, instytucjonalizacji, wpływając, tym samym, na całość życia społecznego.
Być krewnym. Znaczenie pokrewieństwa w wewnętrznych kręgach sieci społecznych
Authors: Przybył Iwona
Published: March 2022

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań empirycznych na temat obecności krewnych w sieciach społecznych kobiet i mężczyzn w trzech fazach życia: wczesnego dorosłego, dorosłego w średnim wieku i młodszego seniora oraz sposobów postrzegania więzi z krewnymi. Badania były prowadzone w 2021 roku na próbie 109 osób w wieku 20–69 lat. Analiza pokazała, że morfologia wewnętrznych kręgów sieci społecznej jest uzależniona od płci oraz fazy życia, nie od biograficznej dostępności krewnych. Życie rodzinne jest zorganizowane i skupione wokół kobiet i krewnych pochodzących ze strony matki. Więzi z krewnymi są postrzegane raczej jako źródło zasobów, trwałości, wsparcia, otwartości komunikacyjnej, norm, wartości i tożsamości, niż jako przestrzeń opresji.
Nieoczekiwana zmiana miejsc... Opieka nad osobą z chorobą neurodegeneracyjną w biografiach opiekunów rodzinnych osób z chorobą Alzheimera
Authors: Szluz Beata
Published: March 2022

Opieka nad osobą z chorobą Alzheimera jest nie tylko wyczerpująca fizycznie i emocjonalnie, ale może też wiązać się z wysokimi kosztami finansowymi. Problem ten nabiera szczególnego znaczenia w obliczu procesu starzenia się jednostki i społeczeństwa oraz rosnącej liczby osób z chorobą Alzheimera. Opieka nad osobą z alzheimerem naraża opiekunów na wysokie ryzyko obniżenia jakości życia, szczególnie dotyczy to opiekunów rodzinnych, którzy są emocjonalnie związani z pacjentem. Celem było rozpoznanie i przedstawienie ich społecznego świata na podstawie narracji będącej subiektywną rekonstrukcją ich historii życia. Do badań wykorzystano autobiograficzny wywiad narracyjny, zaproponowany przez F. Schütza, który opracował metodę jako spójną koncepcję badań biograficznych. Zebrany materiał empiryczny (50 wywiadów) został poddany analizie, umożliwiając udzielenie odpowiedzi na postawione pytania i sformułowanie wniosków, co pozwoliło na wzbogacenie posiadanej wiedzy o jakościowy aspekt analizy.

„Pomieszany świat” dzieciństwa Johna Maxwella Coetzee. Pisarstwo autobiograficzne jako przedmiot zainteresowania antropologa kultury
Authors: Rzepkowska Aleksandra
Published: March 2022

Przedmiotem zainteresowania są w prezentowanym tekście wspomnienia wybitnego południowoafrykańskiego pisarza – Johna Maxwella Coetzee – zatytułowane Chłopięce lata. Sceny z prowincjonalnego życia. Lektura wybranego tekstu stanowi dla autorki pretekst, by zastanowić się nad tym, jak zapisywany jest w narracji autobiograficznej proces tworzenia własnej tożsamości, kształtowania własnego Ja, jaki jest wpływ dziedzictwa rodzinnego oraz otoczenia społecznego na los człowieka, a także, jakie obrazy dzieciństwa wyłaniają się z badanej opowieści oraz na ile są one zgodne z ugruntowanymi kulturowo wyobrażeniami tego okresu życia. Tym, czego autorka poszukuje w opowieści Coetzee i za czym podąża, nie jest jednak prawda faktów, ale tak zwana prawda narracyjna, powiązana z kategorią tożsamości narracyjnej, czyli wyobrażenia podmiotu o samym sobie, które to wyobrażenie podmiot ujawnia i udostępnia innym w formie autonarracji. Z uwagi na właściwe językowi oraz ludzkiej pamięci ograniczenia nikt nie jest bowiem w stanie dokonać wiernego odtworzenia własnej biografii, jest zdolny jedynie odsłonić jej aktualne wyobrażenie.

Background: Microelements are essential for the reproduction of goats; short-term energy supplementation also improves the estrus and ovulatory response to estrus synchronization. The influence of supplementation of cantaloupe leftover and/or copper sulphate on the reproductive response of anovulatory adult goats on rangeland was evaluated. Methods: Sixty-seven mixed-breed adult goats were divided into four experimental groups: Control (C, n=16), without cantaloupe or Cu supplementation; Copper group (Cu, n=17), supplemented with 1 mL of copper sulphate at 2.5%; Cantaloupe group (Ca, n=17), supplemented with 200 g of Cucumis melo and Cu and cantaloupe group (Ca-Cu, n=17), supplemented with 1 mL of copper sulphate+200 g of Cucumis melo. Estrus of goats was synchronized and fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) was applied. Result: There was an increase in ovulation rate for the Ca-Cu goats when compared to C (1.93 vs 1.46, respectively). Also, embryo losses decreased for Ca-Cu goats compared to C, Cu and Ca (13 vs. 42.33%, p less than 0.05). It was concluded that the combined supplementation of cantaloupe leftovers and Cu could be an alternative to increase the ovulation rate and decrease embryo losses, a frequent reproductive problem in goats on rangeland.

Authors: Chai Zachary Farouk , Rosman Norhidayu Binti , Basri Mohd Fazri Bin
Published: March 2022

Vocabulary is considered as an essential component of language teaching and learning, and its mastery is significant for all language learners. The process of learning vocabulary is sometimes referred to as vocabulary acquisition. In light of this, teachers need to conduct appropriate and enjoyable activities when teaching vocabulary. Effective techniques and interesting vocabulary materials are imperative especially for primary school ESL learners. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of employing word recognition instruction and visual aids in teaching action verbs to primary school learners in one of the primary schools in Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia. The overall number of participants in the research was 50, and they represented a mixed abilities group of learners. They were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups of 25. The experimental group used word recognition instruction and visual aids to learn new vocabulary (action verbs), while the control group used traditional memorisation instruction to learn the same vocabulary. Following these instructions, the two groups were evaluated (Post-test). The study's findings indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group. Additionally, it recommends that English language teachers consider word recognition instruction and visual aids as successful vocabulary teaching strategies.

Pertinencia y calidad de la educación médica ante la pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Muñoz-Cano Juan Manuel
Published: March 2022

Introducción. El discurso de calidad para la educación se centra en el enfoque de competitividad que resulta en homogenización y rigidez de los procesos escolares. Este enfoque pasa por alto la pertinencia de la institución y su participación para la promover la equidad social a partir del intercambio de pedagogía y saberes. A causa de la sindemia entre Covid-19 y las enfermedades no transmisibles fue necesario transitar al trabajo escolar en línea. Por ello el objetivo de esta revisión es analizar ese discurso y las alternativas posibles con la inclusión del enfoque de equidad y la pertinencia. Metodología. Se analizaron las características del currículo de formación de médicos y las necesidades del contexto social y al sistema nacional de salud. Resultados. La educación médica no contribuye a afrontar los problemas de salud pública. Son necesarios cambios curriculares para construir capacidades para el aprendizaje autónomo y permanente, necesarios la formación de profesionales capaces de responder a las necesidades de los diversos grupos de la población. También se requieren modificaciones en las pedagogías para la apropiación de las herramientas tecnológicas que permitan actividades en línea. Conclusiones. Es necesario aumentar la reflexión pedagógica en el diseño de propuestas de formación para trascender las cuestiones disciplinares y técnicas.

El presente trabajo de investigación surgió a partir del problema entorno a la baja calidad en la producción de textos escritos que presentan los alumnos de una escuela pública de educación básica del Estado de Tabasco, México. Donde, a partir de un diagnóstico inicial, se encontró que las ideas que tratan de comunicar de manera escrita no se logran comprender, el vocabulario que utilizan es escaso, uso deficiente de las reglas ortográficas y de los signos de puntuación en sus redacciones, lo que afecta su proceso de aprendizaje. A partir de este diagnóstico se diseñó e implementó una estrategia didáctica a partir de talleres, que contribuyeran al mejoramiento de la producción escrita de los estudiantes. El acercamiento empírico de la investigación se realizó bajo en paradigma cualitativo, con un enfoque socio-crítico, el tipo de investigación fue la investigación-acción. Los instrumentos de recolección de la información fueron una prueba estandarizada acompañada de una rúbrica que midió la habilidad comunicativa escrita y un cuestionario para los padres de familia. Los informantes clave fueron 28 alumnos con igual número de padres. Dentro de los hallazgos más significativos se encontró que al contrastar las pruebas de habilidades escritas aplicadas a los estudiantes antes y al termino del taller, se demostró que todas las deficiencias detectadas en la fase del diagnóstico lograron superarlas.
Otro de los hallazgos más notorio fue el perfeccionamiento en su escritura, ya que antes del taller tenían una caligrafía muy mala y en sus producciones se pudo notar como fueron mejorando.
Los alumnos lograron ser autónomos durante el proceso de creación y redacción de sus cuentos, así como interesados en realizar bien sus escritos.

Authors: Lara-Subiabre Brenda Angélica , Castillo-Mardones Pamela
Published: March 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la valoración y percepción de una experiencia formativa en indagación de estudiantes de pedagogía desde la mirada de la identidad docente. Se aplicó una encuesta a 11 profesores en formación de una universidad pública al sur de Chile. Los que se encontraban aplicando el modelo Educational Design Research en su practicum, a la vez que estaban siendo formados en talleres. Los resultados fueron analizados utilizando métodos mixtos e informan que valoran positivamente la mayoría de las actividades de aprendizaje realizadas durante la formación. Manifiestan mayor valoración por la aplicación de técnicas para recolectar información en el contexto escolar y menos por la revisión de literatura. Consideran que los talleres aportaron al desarrollo de habilidades informaciones, a pesar de que igual reconocen estas habilidades como una de sus mayores dificultades. La revisión de literatura es lo que perciben menos representativo de su identidad docente y tienen más valoración por las ideas que provienen de voces de personas cercanas, que por referentes teóricos. Se concluye que los participantes se posicionan desde una identidad docente levemente contrariados con la indagación, por una parte valoran ciertas actividades asociadas a ellas, pero también experimentan tensiones, principalmente en relación con el uso de literatura.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Studies updating the evidence in advanced maternal age as an independent factor of obstetric risk are needed. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ≥ 35-years-old pregnant women who give birth in a Spanish hospital in Northwestern Spain, and to describe the incidence of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.Material and Methods: Retrospective follow-up observational study including women ≥ 20 years-old who gave birth over one year (n = 1378). Data were collected from medical records, including socio-demographic characteristics, comorbidities, gestational conditions, variables related with the delivery and perinatal outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association of advanced maternal age with obstetric and perinatal outcomes.Results: Forty-two percent of pregnant women were ≥ 35 years old. In the multivariable analysis, advanced maternal age was associated with the likelihood of gestational diabetes (OR = 1.84; 95% CI = 1.10 - 3.07), hypothyroidism (OR = 2.11; 95% CI = 1.17 - 3.80), lower probability of an eutocic delivery (OR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.56 - 0.98), and a hospital admission > four days (OR = 2.91; 95% CI = 1.95 - 4.35). An association with the rate of C-sections was not found (OR = 1.24; 95% CI = 0.89 - 1.72).Conclusion: A high prevalence of pregnant women of advanced maternal age was confirmed. There was a higher rate of comorbidities and longer hospital admissions in older women but not a higher rate of higher C-sections and other complications.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), an aggressive tumor originating from both intra- and extra-hepatic biliary cells, represents an unmet need in liver oncology, as treatment remains largely unsatisfactory. A typical feature of CCA is the presence of a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of neoplastic cells, a rich inflammatory infiltrate, and cancer-associated fibroblasts and desmoplastic matrix that makes it extremely chemoresistant to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs. In this review, we describe the cell populations within the TME, in particular those involved in the innate and adaptive immune response and how they interact with tumor cells and with matrix proteins. The TME is crucial for CCA to mount an immune escape response and is the battlefield where molecularly targeted therapies and immune therapy, particularly in combination, may actually prove their therapeutic value.

The Blowing Snow Hazard Assessment and Risk Prediction model : a Python based downscaling and risk prediction for snow surface erodibility and probability of blowing snow
Authors: Letcher Theodore , LeGrand Sandra , Polashenski Christopher
Published: March 2022

Blowing snow is an extreme terrain hazard causing intermittent severe reductions in ground visibility and snow drifting. These hazards pose significant risk to operations in snow-covered regions. While many ingredients-based forecasting methods can be employed to predict where blowing snow is likely to occur, there are currently no physically based tools to predict blowing snow from a weather forecast. However, there are several different process models that simulate the transport of snow over short distances that can be adapted into a terrain forecasting tool. This report documents a downscaling and blowing-snow prediction tool that leverages existing frameworks for snow erodibility, lateral snow transport, and visibility, and applies these frameworks for terrain prediction. This tool is designed to work with standard numerical weather model output and user-specified geographic models to generate spatially variable forecasts of snow erodibility, blowing snow probability, and deterministic blowing-snow visibility near the ground. Critically, this tool aims to account for the history of the snow surface as it relates to erodibility, which further refines the blowing-snow risk output. Qualitative evaluations of this tool suggest that it can provide more precise forecasts of blowing snow. Critically, this tool can aid in mission planning by downscaling high-resolution gridded weather forecast data using even higher resolution terrain dataset, to make physically based predictions of blowing snow.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has a dismal prognosis and hypoxia plays a key role in metastasis and proliferation of ESCC. Thus, we aimed to develop a hypoxia-based gene signature to assist in the diagnosis and prognosis. We performed consensus clustering analysis based on differentially expressed hypoxia related genes (HRGs) acquired from the GSE53625 dataset and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and used weighted gene co-expression network analysis to filter out candidate modules which were then intersected with differentially expressed genes from clustered subgroups to obtain HRGs. The HRGs were used for stepAIC algorithm to construct risk score models and validated in TCGA database. Independent prognostic factors after univariate and multivariate COX analyses were used to construct the prognostic nomogram. Immunohistochemical were used to detect protein expression levels of relevant genes. And the relationship between risk scores and tumor microenvironment was explored. A hypoxia risk model containing 6 genes (PNPLA1, CARD18, IL-18, SLC37A2, ADAMTS18 and FAM83C) was constructed by screening key HRGs. Poorer prognosis in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group. And Cox regression analysis showed that risk score was independent prognostic factors. Nomogram based on risk scores could well predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. P53, Wnt, and hypoxia signaling pathways may be some regulatory mechanisms of hypoxia associated with tumor microenvironment. In addition, we confirmed the high expression of BGN and low expression of IL-18 in ESCC tissues. Our study determined the prognostic value of a 6-hypoxia gene signature and a prognostic model, providing potential prognostic predictors and therapeutic targets for ESCC.

Dominica was hit hard by Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 storm when it passed over the island on September 18, 2017. This study aims to characterise the dynamics associated with this extreme event and their consequences in the medium term on the morphology and the coastal structures of this caribbean island nation. Based on a multi-site approach (9 sites), this study uses varied data (satellite and aerial images, databases, reports, numerical modelling) and the validation thereof via qualitative observations and topo-morphological surveys carried out in the field 18 months after the hurricane. The high-resolution modelling of the hydrometeorological conditions during the hurricane, the monitoring of the changes in the shoreline, and the field observations brought to light the prevalence of fluvio-sedimentary hazards (torrential flooding, ground movements) over marine hazards (marine flooding, storm swell) in the modification of the coastal landscapes. Phenomena of massive sediment discharge caused considerable damage to the buildings located in low-lying areas and flood plains and to road infrastructure, which hindered access to certain sectors of the island in the post-storm phase for a significant period of time. The more-limited damage of marine origin was exacerbated by the artificialisation of the coast and the establishment of a permanent shoreline. We demonstrate that the impact model for Hurricane Maria for the coastal areas of Dominica is the result of a combination of natural factors with a particular exposure and vulnerability of coastal populations and structures to hydrometeorological risks.

Published: March 2022

A three-dimensional conjugate tooth surface design method of Harmonic drive with a double-circular-arc tooth profile is proposed. The radial deformation function of the flexspline (FS) obtained by FEA is introduced into the kinematics model, and the optimization of the overlapping conjugate tooth profile is completed by analyzing the FS tooth enveloping process. Considering the hobbing process, the three-dimensional machinable tooth surface of FS is obtained. Considering the coning deformation of the FS, the multi-section assembly and meshing motion simulation of machinable tooth surface are carried out. Finite element method is used to analyze and compare the loaded contact characteristics. Results show that the proposed design method can obtain an internal gear pair composed of a circular spline with a spur gear tooth surface and a FS with a machinable tooth surface. Under the rated torque, 24% of the FS teeth are engaged in meshing, and more than 4/5 of the tooth surface in the axial direction carries the load. The contact patterns, maximum contact pressure and transmission error of the machinable tooth surface are 227.2%, 40.67%, and 71.24% of the spur gear tooth surface respectively, showing excellent transmission performance.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a neoplasm of the head and neck, has high incidence and mortality rates in East and Southeast Asia. Evodia rutaecarpa is a tree that is native to Korea and China, and its fruit (hereafter referred to as Evodia) exhibits remarkable antitumor properties. However, little is known about its mechanism of action in NPC. In this study, we employed network pharmacology to identify targets of active Evodia compounds in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and generate an interaction network.Methods: The active ingredients of Evodia and targets in NPC were obtained from multiple databases, and an interaction network was constructed via the Cytoscape and STRING databases. The key biological processes and signaling pathways were predicted using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses. Molecular docking technology was used to identify the affinity and activity of target genes, and The Cancer Genome Atlas and Human Protein Atlas databases were used to analyze differential expression. Cell Counting Kit (CCK)-8 and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) dual-fluorescence staining were used for experimental verification.Results: Active Evodia compounds included quercetin, isorhamnetin, and evodiamine, and important NPC targets included MAPK14, AKT1, RELA, MAPK1, JUN, and p53, which were enriched in lipid and atherosclerosis signaling pathways. Additionally, we verified the high affinity and activity of the active compounds through molecular docking, and the target proteins were verified using immunohistochemistry and differential expression analyses. Furthermore, CCK-8 assays and Annexin V-FITC/PI dual-fluorescence staining showed that isorhamnetin inhibited the proliferation of NPC cells and induced apoptosis.Conclusion: Our results identified the molecular mechanisms of Evodia and demonstrated its ability to alter the proliferation and apoptosis of NPC cells through multiple targets and pathways, thereby providing evidence for clinical application of Evodia.
