Authors: Jahan Nusrat , Khan Ashikur Rahman , Uddin Main , Rana Mahamudul Hasan
Published: January 2021

A single bidirectional link is used to allow communication between two devices in the device-todevice (D2D) communication system. D2D technology has to implement with the current cellular system. As both users D2D and cellular use the same licensed spectrum for transmission the chances of interferences increases. It is challenging for researchers to find out the proper mechanism to decrease interference and maximize performances. In this paper, we try to survey the challenges and their solutions to enable D2D communication in the cellular network with low interference. Here we describe the peer discover, mode selection process and interference management with power control and resource allocation. Finally, we can say that with proper power control, spectrum slicing and resource allocation we can mitigate co-tier and cross-tier interferences.
Correlation of the concepts of “Terrorism” and “International Terrorism” in International Law
Authors:   Crimean Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Simpheropol’, Russian Federation, Cherniadeva N.A.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. The problem of parallel use of two related terms in the legal documents of the UN system and other international organizations: “terrorism” and “international terrorism” is analyzed in the article. A clear understanding of the relationship of these terms is absent in the theory of international law. In addition, the distinctive features of “international terrorism” are not formulated in international legal instruments. Therefore, it is difficult to build a legal model of “international terrorism” and to distinguish it from related legal phenomena. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The author analyzes the doctrinal views of scientists in international law and the approaches related to the legal nature of terrorism and international terrorism, which are implemented in international legal documents. The task of defining the criteria for distinguishing terrorism and international terrorism in international law is posed in this article. The article presents a systematic study based on the methods used in legal science. The method of generalization plays a major role at the stage of research and evaluation of the concepts of “terrorism” and “international terrorism” in the universal anti-terrorist conventions. The method of ascent from the particular to the abstract will reveal the most common features inherent in the legal content of the term “international terrorism”. This method makes it possible to establish how “international terrorism” is understood in international legal instruments and the doctrine of international law. Also, the method of formal legal analysis is applied in the study. Results. The main scientific approaches to the correlation of the concepts of “terrorism” and “international terrorism” in international law are disclosed in the work. The author shows that all approaches fit into two models: supporters of the first distinguish these concepts and believe that international law should fight only against international terrorism; supporters of the second believe that international law should fight against any manifestations of terrorism. Discussion and Conclusion. The author formulates arguments in favor of establishing in international law a system of regulations aimed at combating a wide range of manifestations of terrorism.

Listener characteristics differentially affect self-reported and physiological measures of effort associated with two challenging listening conditions
Authors: Francis Alexander L. , Bent Tessa , Schumaker Jennifer , Love Jordan , Silbert Noah
Published: January 2021

Listeners vary in their ability to understand speech in adverse conditions. Differences in both cognitive and linguistic capacities play a role, but increasing evidence suggests that such factors may contribute differentially depending on the listening challenge. Here, we used multilevel modeling to evaluate contributions of individual differences in age, hearing thresholds, vocabulary, selective attention, working memory capacity, personality traits, and noise sensitivity to variability in measures of comprehension and listening effort in two listening conditions. A total of 35 participants completed a battery of cognitive and linguistic tests as well as a spoken story comprehension task using (1) native-accented English speech masked by speech-shaped noise and (2) nonnative accented English speech without masking. Masker levels were adjusted individually to ensure each participant would show (close to) equivalent word recognition performance across the two conditions. Dependent measures included comprehension tests results, self-rated effort, and electrodermal, cardiovascular, and facial electromyographic measures associated with listening effort. Results showed varied patterns of responsivity across different dependent measures as well as across listening conditions. In particular, results suggested that working memory capacity may play a greater role in the comprehension of nonnative accented speech than noise-masked speech, while hearing acuity and personality may have a stronger influence on physiological responses affected by demands of understanding speech in noise. Furthermore, electrodermal measures may be more strongly affected by affective response to noise-related interference while cardiovascular responses may be more strongly affected by demands on working memory and lexical access.

STUDYING THE WORKS OF F.M. DOSTOEVSKY IN A MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Федорова Е.А.
Published: January 2021

В статье предлагается система занятий, направленная на осуществление аксиологического подхода к творчеству Ф.М. Достоевского. В 8-м классе изучается повесть «Неточка Незванова», в 9-м классе происходит знакомство с одной сюжетной линией романа «Преступление и наказание» – историей семьи Мармеладовых. Обращение к Евангелию позволит понять тему Страшного суда, идею спасения и воскресения. В 10-м классе учащиеся знакомятся с понятием доминанты А.А. Ухтомского – направленности личности, что позволит объяснить Петербург Раскольникова, его теорию и его идеологическое преступление. Рассказ о Двойнике и Собеседнике (учение А.А. Ухтомского) поможет понять, почему происходит отторжение Раскольниковым Лужина и Свидригайлова, в которых он видит своего Двойника, и почему Раскольникову необходимо общение с Соней Мармеладовой, которая становится его Собеседником. Эпилог романа можно соотнести с «Записками из Мертвого дома» Ф.М. Достоевского, автобиографическим произведением. Завершить изучение творчества Достоевского предлагается программным рассказом «Сон смешного человека».

A system of classes aimed at implementing an axiological approach to the work of F.M. Dostoevsky is proposed. In the 8th grade, the story Netochka Nezvanova is studied, the story of the musician Efimov correlates with the gospel parable about talent. In the 9th grade there is an acquaintance with one storyline of the novel Crime and punishment – the history of the Marmaladov family. Turning to the gospel will help you understand the theme of the Last Judgment, the idea of salvation and resurrection. In the 10th grade familiarity with the concept of dominant by A.A. Ukhtomsky – the orientation of the personality – will help to explain Raskolnikov's Petersburg, his theory and his ideological crime. The story about the Double and the Interlocutor (the teachings of A.A. Ukhtomsky) will help you understand why Raskolnikov rejects Luzhin and Svidrigailov, in whom he sees his Double, and why Raskolnikov needs to communicate with Sonya Marmeladova, who becomes his Interlocutor. The epilogue of the novel can be correlated with The House of the Dead by F.M. Dostoevsky, an autobiographical work. To complete the study of Dostoevsky's work, you can use the program story «The Dream of a Ridiculous Man».
Distribution of cystoliths in the leaves of Acanthaceae and its effect on leaf surface anatomy
Authors: Gabel N.H. , Wise R.R. , Rogers G.K.
Published: January 2021

Cystoliths are large outgrowths of cell wall material and calcium carbonate with a silicon-containing stalk found in the leaves, stems and roots of only a handful of plant families. Each cystolith is contained within a cell called a lithocyst. In leaves, lithocysts may be found in the mesophyll or the epidermis. A study by Koch et al. (2009) reported unique, indented features on the surface of superamphiphilic Ruellia devosiana (Acanthaceae) leaves which the authors named ‘channel cells’. We report herein that such ‘channel cells’ in the Acanthaceae are actually lithocysts containing fully formed cystoliths in which only a portion of the lithocyst is exposed at the epidermis, forming a leaf epidermal impression. Intact leaves and isolated cystoliths from 28 Acanthaceae species (five in the non-cystolith clade and 23 in the cystolith clade) were examined using light and scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. All 23 members of the cystolith clade examined contained cystoliths within lithocysts, but not all showed leaf epidermal impressions. In four species, the lithocysts were in the leaf mesophyll, did not contact the leaf surface, and did not participate in leaf epidermal impression formation. The remaining 19 species had lithocysts in the epidermis and possessed leaf epidermal impressions of differing sizes, depths and morphologies.

The annual Double Eleven Global Carnival came to an end not long ago. Although the Double Eleven has just been founded for 11 years, it has become one of the most influential projects in the world with its amazing total sales and sales speed and its amazing influences. For 2020, compared with previous years, whether from the perspective of customer demand or the cash flow of the business itself, it seems to be unfavorable to the sales of Double Eleven. But unexpectedly, even though the economy of many enterprises in many countries has stagnated due to the pandemic, the volume of business this year has increased significantly. Moreover, the Double Eleven continued the style of previous years. It continued to expand overseas markets, and achieved win-win situation while cooperating with other countries. In fact, there are many factors behind such a seemingly strange phenomenon.
Escaping Outflows from Disintegrating Exoplanets: Day-side versus Night-side Escape
Authors: Kang Wanying , Ding Feng , Wordsworth Robin , Seager Sara
Published: January 2021

Ultrahot disintegrating exoplanets have been detected with tails trailing behind and/or shooting ahead of them. These tails are believed to be made of dust that are formed out of the supersonic escaping flow that emanated from the permanent day side. Conserving angular momentum, this day-side escape flux would lead the planet in orbit. In order to explain the trailing tails in observation, radiation pressure, a repulsive force pushing the escape flow away from the host star, is considered to be necessary. We here investigate whether escape could be deflected to head away from the host star by the pressure gradient force. We demonstrate in an idealized framework that escape flux from the night side can occur, and sometimes, can be even stronger than the escape from the day-side. The night-side escape infers that escape flow could trail behind the planet in orbit by virtue of angular momentum conservation even without radiation pressure. We also find analytical approximations for both day-side and night-side escape fluxes, which may be applied to study planetary evolution of disintegrating planets.

La laïcité est-elle une question théologique ?
Authors: Singer Christophe
Published: January 2021

Laïcité et théologie gagnent à questionner réciproquement leurs prétentions à produire un discours totalisant plutôt que de s’installer dans des postures d’ignorance, de repli ou de récupération. Christophe Singer interroge deux conceptions antagonistes de la laïcité, la laïcité téléologique de Henri Peña-Ruiz et la laïcité fonctionnelle de Charles Taylor et Jocelyn Maclure, du côté religieux de leurs discours respectifs d’émancipation ou de sauvegarde de l’identité et de la liberté humaines. La doctrine théologique de la justification par la foi offre un recadrage de ces deux concepts propre à favoriser un investissement dépassionné de la laïcité.
Bible hébraïque et pensée laïque, lointaines proximités et résonances atemporelles ?
Authors: Nocquet Dany
Published: January 2021

Aborder la thématique de la laïcité au regard de l’Ancien Testament présente le risque de l’anachronisme, c’est pourquoi Dany Nocquet aborde la thématique sous trois aspects qui peuvent faire écho à une compréhension laïque du monde. Le premier établit que l’Ancien Testament introduit une distanciation entre pouvoir politique et religion dans un univers culturel ou les pouvoirs royal et religieux sont intimement liés. Le second, en discussion avec Jan Assmann, montre comment certains passages travaillent le monothéisme yahwiste en l’ouvrant à une acceptation de croyances différentes. Le troisième souligne combien une partie de la pensée biblique révise la représentation exclusive d’Israël pour envisager une élection partagée et une accessibilité décloisonnée au divin.

La pensée de Whitehead bouscule et conduit à des attitudes existentielles jugées audacieuses. Le sujet humain s’y révèle expérience de passage. Habiter cette expérience développe une puissance responsable et cette entrée dans la précarité fait advenir. Comme le montre Dorothée Mariau , cette expérience fondamentale et fondatrice est éminemment religieuse : le sujet humain comme être-relié éprouve l’appel de Dieu. Il reste à éduquer au passage par la dépendance et l’exposition à l’altérité.
Regularity and stability analysis for semilinear generalized Rayleigh-Stokes equations
Authors: Lan Do
Published: January 2021

We study the generalized Rayleigh-Stokes problem involving a fractional derivative and nonlinear perturbation. Our aim is to analyze some sufficient conditions ensuring the global solvability, regularity and asymptotic stability of solutions. In particular, if the nonlinearity is Lipschitzian then the mild solution of the mentioned problem becomes a classical one and its convergence to equilibrium point is proved.

Published: January 2021

Verrucous hemangioma (VH) is an uncommon congenital vascular lesion that presents at birth or in early childhood. The clinical and histopathological resemblance to angiokeratoma and infantile hemangioma raises the question of it being a variant or a separate distinct entity. The authors take this opportunity of reporting a case of VH, occurring in a 14-year-old female for its rarity and the possibility of recurrence, if not diagnosed correctly and treated by wide excision followed by skin grafting.

Published: January 2021

Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) are widely used for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Although CCBs have gained mass acceptance and popularity among the medical fraternity, their effect on the oral cavity is often under-reported and rarely debated. This group of medication causes gingival enlargement in some patients, affecting normal practice of oral hygiene, masticatory functions, besides causing esthetic concerns. A severe case of gingival enlargement is presented in a 53-year-old female patient with a history of nifedipine use.

Background:

Patient counseling is an integral part of the pharmacy services provided in community pharmacies, and it can be used as a tool to determine the quality of health care. This study aimed to evaluate the community pharmacists' counseling services and determine patients' satisfaction toward these services.

Methodology:

This study was a descriptive, community-based cross-sectional study in the Sudanese population from March 2020 to June 2020. One thousand nine participants responded to the questionnaire. A convenience sampling method was used to collect the data. Data were collected using an online predesigned standardized questionnaire and then analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.

Results:

It was found that most of the participants (78.4%) were from urban areas. The majority of the participants (84.8%) completed their education until the university level, and 82% of the respondents were aged between 18 and 29 years. Females were 57.1%, and 50.5% of the participants work in the medical field. About 60% (59.9%) of them have never been asked if they had an allergy to certain drugs when they visited the pharmacy and 81.6% did not receive any information about what to do if they missed a dose, whereas 71.6% have never been told about the possible side effects of the drugs they are prescribed. The average score of satisfaction among the participants was 18.24 ± 3.953. It was found that 32.1% and 11.8% of the people involved in the study were satisfied and very satisfied with the pharmacist's counseling services, respectively.

Authors: Jain Sanjay N , Modi Tanvi , Varma Ravi U
Published: January 2021

Respiratory distress is one of the leading causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Factors such as gestational age at birth, pulmonary maturity, and congenital factors are peculiar to this demographic. Clinical evaluation accompanied by chest radiography is the standard protocol for evaluating the underlying causative factors. Knowledge of the radiographic appearances of various pathologies and associations with certain congenital factors is quintessential for radiologists and primary neonatal care providers to steer the management in the right direction.

Published: January 2021

Background

In-training examinations (ITEs) are intended for low-stakes, formative assessment of residents' knowledge, but are increasingly used for high-stake purposes, such as to predict board examination failures.

Objective

The aim of this review was to investigate the relationship between performance on ITEs and board examination performance across medical specialties.

Methods

A search of the literature for studies assessing the strength of the relationship between ITE and board examination performance from January 2000 to March 2019 was completed. Results were categorized based on the type of statistical analysis used to determine the relationship between ITE performance and board examination performance.

Results

Of 1407 articles initially identified, 89 articles underwent full-text review, and 32 articles were included in this review. There was a moderate-strong relationship between ITE and board examination performance, and ITE scores significantly predict board examination scores for the majority of studies. Performing well on an ITE predicts a passing outcome for the board examination, but there is less evidence that performing poorly on an ITE will result in failing the associated specialty board examination.

Conclusions

There is a moderate to strong correlation between ITE performance and subsequent performance on board examinations. That the predictive value for passing the board examination is stronger than the predictive value for failing calls into question the “common wisdom” that ITE scores can be used to identify “at risk” residents. The graduate medical education community should continue to exercise caution and restraint in using ITE scores for moderate to high-stakes decisions.
Exploring the long-term social and land management impacts on participants of the Entry Level Stewardship Scheme
Authors:   , Cusworth George
Published: January 2021

Agri-environment schemes (AESs) offer remuneration for land managers who implement environmental management techniques onto their farms. Participation is voluntary, and the schemes are designed to go beyond the agri-environmental management standards placed on farmers by other policies. Between 2005 and 2014, Environmental Stewardship (ES) was England’s main agri-environment scheme. It was itself split into two tiers – Higher Level Stewardship and Entry Level Stewardship (ELS). This research project assesses the long-term impacts of the ELS tier of ES and focusses on the social, attitudinal and behavioural features of the scheme’s extended impact. The data was collected through 40 in-depth interviews, 24 of which also had a longitudinal, repeat interview component. The interviews took place in two different case-studies with contrasting agricultural profiles (landscape characteristics, representation of different farm systems). An important element of the research relates to the long-term management changes that participation has effected – specifically whether the participants had elected to preserve the management practices promoted by their scheme contracts. Interviews were conducted with contract holders at the end of their involvement with ELS and then shortly after the termination of their contracts as a means of attending to this particular research objective. For many participants, the scheme’s intervention has functioned as a habit-breaking force and has catalysed the long-term adoption of the scheme practices, beyond the extent of the contract’s duration. The research also contributes to the sociological study of environmental attitudes represented in the agricultural industry. Bourdieu’s social theory, along with the good farmer concept, are used to help understand the non-economic capitals associated with the implementation of agri-environmental practices. A small but valuable literature exists that centres around a Bourdieusian analysis of agri-environmental behaviours and attitudes, and this project is adding to that lineage. Participation in the ELS scheme, along with other wider cultural and economic forces are changing the position that environmental management occupies in the psychologies of the farmers. In managing a farm, the absence – rather than the adoption – of environmental management practices emerged as the approach more likely to attract the criticism of other members of the farming community. The bad farmer concept is developed to help account for the criticism and distaste for environmentally negligent behaviour, and the motivational force this exerts on the manager’s decision-making processes.

Authors: Bhandari Pramila , Baral Mira
Published: January 2021

Background: Abuse of the elderly is a hidden problem in Nepalese community. Pokhara city is highly affected by urbanization, modernization and migration that predispose older adults to social isolation and financial difficulties increasing their risk to abuse. This study aims to fill the gap in the knowledge in the area of abuse of elderly in Pokhara city.Objectives: The major objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of caregiver abuse experienced by the older adults and find out the factors associated with the abuse. Method: A cross sectional study was used for the study. Convenience sampling technique was used and data was collected from 192 elderly above the age of 60 years residing a community of Pokhara-28, Kaski at their households using a structured interview schedule. Data was collected in June 2018, for a period of one month. Before data collection, informed written consent was taken from participants. The data was analyzed by using SPSS-16 and chi-square test was used as inferential statistics to determine the association between the elder abuse and selected variables.Result: We found out that 65.6% of the elderly experienced at least one abuse in the last 6 months. The most common forms of abuse were caregiver neglect (55.2%) and psychological abuse (38.5%). The elderly abuse was statistically significant with female sex (p=0.001), unmarried/widow/widower/separated/divorced (p=.021), illiterate (p=0.002), and among those having chronic illness (p=0.003). Conclusion: Almost 7 out of 10 elderly experienced abuse in the past 6 months. The most common form of abuse was caregiver neglect followed by psychological and financial abuse. Older adults who were females, unmarried/widowed/separated/divorced, illiterate and those having chronic disease were at higher risk for abuse.

Authors: Khatri Rose , Bishowkarma Kamal , Bhandari Tulsi Ram
Published: January 2021

Background: The need for a professionalized and highly skilled public health workforce is essential to improving and protecting the health of populations, especially in Nepal. This study aimed to explore: (i) the current trends in public health in Nepal and (ii) the opportunities and barriers to the professionalization of the sector.

Methods: We employed an exploratory qualitative research design and used a combination of semi-structured interviews with senior public health professionals and a small focus group discussion with more recently qualified public health practitioners in Nepal. A total of nine professional stakeholders were interviewed and five junior practitioners joined the focus group discussion. Data was collected via Skype due to COVID-19 restrictions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results: Four core themes emerged from the research: understanding the public health approach; health priorities; federalization and the impact on public health practice; professionalization and workforce development.

Conclusions: Political federalization and more recently COVID-19 have impacted the development, capacity, and employment of this often-neglected workforce. Public health graduates with their broad-ranging knowledge and skills are often overlooked in the health sector. This is related to a general lack of understanding of what public health is and what public health practitioners do amongst politicians and the general public.
Cloud Provisioning and Modeling of Internet of Things (IoT) Systems for Evaluating Big Data Uncertainties
Authors: Huang Yuji , K Aravindhan
Published: January 2021

The present cyber-physical schemes and the Internet of Things (IoT) schemes comprise of both complex and simple interactions defining the different sources of the IoT systems such as cloud information and the edge internet service centres. All the modeling frameworks have been established on the virtualization dimensions that include both the cloud and the edge structures. Apart from that, the systems deal with big data based on the connections of various forms of services and networks. In that case, various forms of data uncertainties are evident. These uncertainties include elasticity and actuation uncertainties. As a result, this leads to a number of challenges that affect the process of testing these uncertainties in the big data systems. Nonetheless, there is a research gap present to effectively model and design the precise infrastructure frameworks that handle the necessities for evaluating these emergent big data uncertainties. With that regard, this scholastic paper focusses on the techniques used to generate and determine the deployment configurations used in the process of evaluating both the cloud and IoT systems. In this research, the survey will consider the actual-world application for analysing and monitoring the transceiver frameworks.
