Vaginal and tumor microbiomes in gynecologic cancers
Authors: Han Mengzhen , Wang Na , Han Wenjie , Ban Meng , Sun Tao , Xu Junnan
Published: May 2022

The vagina links the organs where gynecologic tumors are located to the
outside world. A healthy acidic vaginal environment relies on
lactobacilli; a dysregulated vaginal flora is associated with the
occurrence, unsatisfactory treatment and poor prognosis of gynecologic
malignancies. Using microbial markers to screen the difficult-to-detect
characteristics of early tumors may play a key role in prolonging the
survival of cancer patients. The discovery of microbes within tumor has
led to the consideration of the immunological relevance of internal
microorganisms to tumors. This article aims to review the relevance of
microorganisms within the above two environments to gynecologic
malignancies.

Background Childhood cancer survivors face late health problems; despite
advances in research, details on risk remain unclear. We describe the
methodological aspects of the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
(DCCSS) cross-sectional clinical study (LATER 2 study). Procedure From
the multi-center DCCSS LATER cohort of 6,165 five-year survivors
diagnosed 1963-2001, we invited 4,735 eligible in 2016, as well as
siblings and parents of survivors. Gaps in evidence identified during
development of surveillance guidelines were translated into clinical
research questions for 16 outcome-specific sub-projects. The regular
care visit to the LATER outpatient clinic forms the backbone of outcome
assessment complemented with research-defined measurements (physical
examination, diagnostic tests, questionnaires). Furthermore,
blood/saliva samples were taken for DNA extraction. Results In total,
2519 (53.2%) survivors participated in the LATER 2 study. Of those
participating survivors, 49.3% was female. Median time since childhood
cancer diagnosis was 26.9 years (range 14.8 to 54.7 years) and median
attained age was 34.4 years (range 15.4 to 66.6 years). Conclusions The
high-quality data generated in the LATER 2 study will provide valuable
insights into risks of and risk factors for clinical and (psychosocial)
health outcomes and factors for early recognition of (psychosocial)
health outcomes in long-term childhood cancer survivors. This will
contribute to fill in important gaps in knowledge and improve the
quality of life and care for childhood cancer survivors.

Authors: Wang Peter , You Kui , Ong Yoon Hun , Yeoh Joe Ning , Ong Jerica , Truong Anh Thanh Lan , Blasiak Agata , Chow Edward Kai-Hua , Ho Dean
Published: May 2022

The substantial increase in global population and climate change, among
other factors have led to global food security and supply chain
challenges. The United Nations has laid out an agenda to sustainably
achieve zero hunger by 2030 as one of its sustainable development goals.
However, sustainably achieving improved food yield has become a
challenge as excessive use of fertilizers has also led to adverse
environmental impact. To address the aforementioned challenges, WisDM
Green, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform that aims to
pinpoint and prioritize compound (e.g. biostimulants) combinations in
peat moss, is harnessed to sustainably improve the yield of Amaranthus
cruentus (red spinach). In this proof-of-concept study, from a pool of 8
compounds, WisDM Green-pinpointed combinations
(6-Benzylaminopurine/Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Iron (III) and
Humic Acid/Seaweed Extract) achieve 26.34±15.80 and 33.59±14.60 increase
in %Yield, respectively. The study also indicates that compound
combinations may exhibit concentration-dependent synergies and thus,
properly adjusting the concentration ratios of combinations may further
improve plant yield in the context of sustainable farming.

Escala de comportamento em isolamento social (CIS-18)
Authors: Freire Denilson Aparecida Leite
Published: May 2022

O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi estruturar, aplicar e validar um instrumento de investigação que avaliasse os impactos do isolamento social no comportamento das pessoas. Estruturou-se uma medida de avaliação, baseando-se em outros instrumentos já validados nacional e internacionalmente e que culminou na escala de Comportamento em Isolamento Social (CIS-18). Foram investigados 966 indivíduos e por meio da modelagem de equações estruturais, foi constatada que a escala atende aos critérios de qualidade, consistência, relevância e predição, podendo ser reaplicada. A análise indicou que quanto maior o sentimento de solidão, maiores serão os níveis de estresse, ansiedade e depressão, durante o isolamento social. E, ainda que, quanto menor o sentimento de solidão, maior será a estratégia de autodefesa do pesquisado e, consequentemente, maior a esperança em relação ao futuro. Sugere-se que a escala seja utilizada correlacionando-a a outros construtos, visando analisar os impactos do isolamento social nas pessoas e nas organizações.

Parenthood and labour market outcomes in Serbia
Authors: Lebedinski Lara , Vladisavljevic Marko
Published: May 2022

Using the Labour Force Survey data for the period 2014 to 2018 for Serbia,
this paper explores the effect of parenthood on the labour market
trajectories of parents, the so-called ?parenthood penalty?. We find that
mothers are less likely than non-mothers to be active in the labour market
when their children are very young, but this effect is transitory, and
mothers of older children are actually more likely to be active than
non-mothers. Similarly, we observe that mothers of small children are less
likely to work overtime than non-mothers, but also that both parents of
older children are more likely to engage in overtime work than men and women
without children. We find a motherhood penalty in terms of hourly wages for
mothers with younger children, but the penalty is not significant as
children become older. By contrast, fathers are more likely to be active
than non-fathers. We do not find an effect of fatherhood on hours worked or
hourly wages. Overall, our results suggest that the motherhood penalty is
present in Serbia in the early stages when children are young, but
motherhood does not seem to have lasting effects on the labour market
participation, hours worked, or wage rates of mothers. We do not find
evidence of a fatherhood bonus, but we find that fathers are more likely to
be active than non-fathers.
Is urbanisation sans infrastructure a myth? Evidence from India
Authors: Arora Rochna , Kaur Baljit
Published: May 2022

This study examines the determinants of urbanisation in Indian states with
special emphasis on infrastructure and infrastructure investment, using data
on 17 Indian states for 1991 to 2017. The fixed effects regression model
shows that physical infrastructure is an important determinant in high
income states, while social infrastructure is important in high-income and
low-income states (where the magnitude is negative). Electricity consumption
and teledensity positively affect urbanisation in high- and low-income
states, while the infant mortality rate in high-income states and the
enrolment ratio in low-income states affect urbanisation negatively. The
supply-led inverted-U hypothesis of infrastructure- investment-led
urbanisation is only disproven for middle-income states while applying
strongly in all other cases, particularly low-income states. Hence, the
impact of infrastructure on urbanisation differs across states not only by
type of infrastructure but also by the state?s income category.

The article is devoted to the development and research of the pyrocompositions based on the ammonium nitrate for safe destruction of the concrete blocks. Ammonium nitrate was chosen as the oxidizer for the pyrocompositions. The choice is primarily due to its low cost and low sensitivity to the mechanical and detonation effects. In addition, ammonium nitrate has a significantly lower content of harmful compounds in combustion products compared to the analogues. Waste polyethylene was used as a fuel. Its use contributes to arranging processing of the synthetic waste, which occupies vast areas and pollutes the environment Based on the research results, the pyrocomposition was developed from 91 % of ammonium nitrate, and 9 % of polyethylene. Composition can be used for directed destruction of the concrete blocks or rocks of medium strength with a coefficient of 3.5–4 on the Protodyakonov scale. Thermodynamic characteristics were studied related to the combustion processes of a binary mixture of ammonium nitrate and polyethylene. It is established that the maximum combustion temperature and gas density are achieved when the stoichiometry is observed. Using thermodynamic modeling in the TDS program, the gas composition of the reaction products was calculated. The main components are carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen. Poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are practically absent. Field experiments on destruction of the concrete blocks were carried out. Performed studies and practical tests showed high efficiency and safety of the use of the developed pyrotechnical compositions.

Ensuring safety during work at height is the most important task in the context of the development of a modern construction complex. Falling from a height occupies one of the first places in terms of the number of victims among all the traumatic factors, based on the statistical data, and its share among other traumatic factors is 28 %. Works at height include construction works, in which there are risks associated with a possible fall of an employee from the height of more than 1.8 m. The employer is obliged to ensure the implementation of measures to reduce injuries at the construction site in accordance with the current legislation. Protective measures when working at height include personal and collective protective equipment, including the use of anchor lines on the building roofs. The article provides for a comparative analysis of five options for the installation of anchor lines suitable for wooden, concrete, metal, and green roofs. For the analysis, a flexible anchor line using a metal cable, a rigid anchor line on high supports, a rigid anchor line on low supports, a flexible anchor line with weights for use on the roofs with landscaping and a flexible anchor line with supports were selected. All the selected anchor line systems comply with the international safety requirements and can be used by one or more workers. The advantages of each system of the anchor lines are revealed, a wide variety of roofing materials are considered: metal seam, made of polyvinyl chloride, with oriented strand board and thermoplastic polyolefin reinforced membrane, which is a high-tech polymer roofing material. All the anchor lines have a variability in terms of the shape and can be used on the roofs of any configurations in the building design without additional efforts and search for the complex solutions on the part of the designer.

When developing coal deposit, the coal dust is formed. Mixing with the atmosphere of the mine workings, it forms the dust-gas-air mixtures that are prone to chemical reactions in various forms. As a rule, such mixtures are neutralized in the dust source area. However, in the coal mines the danger remains related to the normal combustion turning into the detonation of the coal dust. It can be both in the composition of the dust-gas-air mixture, and in the form of the settled layers suspended in the atmosphere of the workings by a methane explosion. In this case there is a risk of a multiple increase in the explosion power due to the ignition of the coal particles as and when the burning spreads through the working. Coal particles burning is considered as a stationary process. However, under certain conditions it becomes necessary to consider accounting the non-stationarity of its flow. This circumstance significantly complicates the consideration of the burning process. Quasi-stationary problem that considers the change in the concentration fields of the reacting gas around a coal particle at different time intervals is studied in the article. The formulas are obtained for determining the concentrations of the reacting gas in the vicinity of the burning coal particle and on its surface. Based on the law of mass conservation of the substances involved in the burning reaction, the formula was found for calculating the radius of the burning coal particle over time. The formula is also derived for determining the complete burning time of the coal particle. The graphs are constructed concerning the dependences of the coal particle burnout time on the number of its parameters. The concentration fields of the reacting gas around the coal particle at various stages of its burning are revealed.

The experimental data is presented in the article concerning the impact sensitivity of mixtures of ocfol-3,5 (octogen) with various metal oxides (Fe2O3, V2O5, TiO2, particle size is 1–2 µm). The experiment was carried out by the method of critical pressures using a tensometric technique. As a result obtained are the dependences of the critical pressure of octogen mixtures initiation with metal oxides on the mass content of the latter. For the mixture of octogen + Fe2O3, significant sensitization of the base explosive was noted at an additive concentration of 30 %. With an increase of the iron oxide content in the mixture, a gradual decrease in its impact sensitivity is observed. When considering a mixture of octogen + V2O5, the similarity of the process with that observed when using iron (III) oxide in a mixture was shown, however, the quantitative indicators still differ slightly. With an increase in the concentration of V2O5 to 50 %, a sharp jump in the critical pressure of initiation is noticeable, which was not observed when the iron oxide was involved. Starting already from this fraction, the additive does not have a sensitizing effect on the base explosive. When considering the mixture of octogen + TiO2, its qualitative difference from the other two mixtures was noticed. In the area of low concentrations, the effect of dioxide on the sensitivity of the explosive is almost imperceptible. With a further increase in the mass fraction of titanium oxide in the mixture, a sharp sensitization is observed, in which the clear minimum was not found, and the concentration, at which a decrease in the sensitivity of the mixture would be observed, was not determined either. Minimum critical pressure for initiating an explosive reaction for Fe2O3 and V2O5 is in the range of mass fractions of 10–15 %, and is equal to 0.46 and 0.52 GPa, respectively. For mixtures of octogen + TiO2, this minimum is expressed dimly, and is equal to 0.55 GPa.

Analysis of the causes of industrial injuries at the enterprises of the Russian Federation over the past 20 years shows that organizational causes remain dominant in the overall structure of the causes of injuries with severe consequences. They are based on the human factor when the actions of the employee himself leading to negative events are primarily due to the low level of his competencies in the field of occupational safety. In September 2022, as part of the reform of the regulatory legal framework in the field of occupational safety training, regulatory legal acts approved by the Government of the Russian Federation defining a new procedure for occupational safety training will come into force. New requirements were developed considering risk-oriented approach, they are based on the current trends in the occupational safety training and are harmonized with the international understanding of the occupational safety training outside of education. Competencies in the field of occupational safety are formed in various areas, broken down into individual programs considering the availability and levels of the occupational risks, which are assessed by the employer within the framework of the relevant procedure of the occupational safety management system. The requirements of new documents are analyzed in terms of conducting briefings, internships at the workplace, training in the occupational safety requirements, including the new types of training in first aid to the victim and the use of personal protective equipment by the employees, as well as in terms of organizing knowledge testing of the occupational safety requirements. In addition, the changes in the rules of accreditation and in the requirements for accredited organizations for training in the field of occupational safety are considered.

This research aims to describe the use of foreign languages on billboards in Surakarta. This research was a single case study obtained from the objective data of billboards along Slamet Riyadi Street Surakarta. The data sources were from the commercial billboards considering several criteria that have been determined in which the billboards should not be owned by either district government or individual,  for campaign purposes, made in 2018, and so on. Those billboards are billboard from Gofood, McDonald's, and Samsung Galaxy Note9. Subsequently, effective data were obtained through observation and interview from informants in readability process. Manifestation of billboard as a form of discourse generates meaning based on critical discourse analysis approach. In addition to the function of billboard as marketing aspect of the company, it also functions to deliver important information, knowledge, and educative information for the readers. This research results show that the readability, meaning, and function of foreign languages assumption on advertisement of billboard are different from the marketing concept. Nonetheless, an emergence of foreign languages provides space for the readers to learn the vocabulary in facing globalization era. Moreover, it also reminds us not to forget the existing culture in Surakarta.

Published: May 2022

In cartoons, meanings and messages are generated either through two semiotic modes that are verbal and visual or solely through visual modes. Interaction between language and cartoon images is often regarded as a straightforward and easy-to-process way to convey a message. This study aims to show that the meaning and cartoon messages are not always easy to understand, therefore readers should observe the language and visual information of each cartoon. This study is aimed at identifying the linguistic modes and the visual modes in the cartoons to convey the meaning and the explicit message or implied message. For this purpose, two theories are adopted;  Systemic  Functional Linguistics Theory by Halliday (1994) to analyze linguistic modes and multimodal approach by Kress and Van Leeuwen (1996, 2006) to analyze visual modes or images in cartoons. The research data was obtained from Usik-Usik cartoon book (Cynical Collection of the World of Education). The findings indicate that language text is a linguistic modes that acts as an effective multimodal element and complement the visual modes in the cartoon work.  Furthermore, the findings of the study also show that the role of linguistic modes is to provide the context in the cartoon work as additional information so that the reader can understand the messages to be communicated more clearly.

Published: May 2022

Acculturation in families with parents having different cultures is a fascinating phenomenon. It is a worth investigating issue to be seen from type of intercultural marriage the family chooses and how children adapt to their parents’ different backgrounds.  This study aims at analyzing types of intercultural marriage taking place in Denpasar, the capital city of Bali province, Indonesia and investigating how the children from these families face the acculturation process. Twenty children in Denpasar city, Bali experiencing intercultural marriage were involved in the research. They were observed and interviewed to identify how acculturation takes place in their family. The study reveals that in the sense of acculturation as a process of adjustment and adaptation, it occurs in four types of intercultural marriage, namely (1) submission/immersion (being submitted to one), (2) obliteration (adopting new language and culture), (3) compromise (maintenance with limitations), and (4) consensus (full maintenance). Each type of intercultural marriage is supportively adopted in the families that give the opportunity for the children to live harmoniously despite the different backgrounds and cultures their parents have.
PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEARNERS’ TRADITIONAL LITERACIES THROUGH DIGITAL STORYTELLING
Authors: Syam Andi Tenrisanna
Published: May 2022

Learners frequently have problems comprehend the texts and arrange sentences to become good paragraphs. To address this issue, digital storytelling may be utilized as a technique to aid learners' reading and writing skill. The author aimed at finding out whether or not digital storytelling increases the learners’ reading and writing skills. The author employed a quasi-experimental design. The 80 learners of sharia banking study program at IAIN Palopo participated in this research. The instruments of this research were reading tests and writing essays. Reading test consisted of 30 numbers; meanwhile writing test consisted of one number. The test had two parts: an initial test and a final test. To measure the significance difference on the learners’ achievement in the two-class, the average, standard deviation, and t-test was computed. A significant difference was found when the two means were compared (82.50 57.05); the experimental class average improved after the treatment was implemented. Nevertheless, the learners in control class showed no improvement. Prior to the treatment, the learners in both classes exhibited equivalent writing skill. On the other hand, they had different achievement after being treated. Furthermore, whereas the experimental class experienced a change, the control class did not. Then, the author asserted that digital storytelling can increase the learners’ reading and writing skills. The author hopes findings of this research can be valuable resources for the learners, the lecturers, and the future researchers.

The use of information and communication technology has become a necessity for people to search for information and information published in 3-dimensional e-book media, which has been widely used in information retrieval. This paper aims to determine the use of 3-dimensional e-Books produced by the Directorate of Repository, Multimedia, and Scientific Publishing-National Information Research Agency. The method used in this research is the Google Analytics method, an application that provides information on the results of data collection (data mining) using the web using page tag techniques. With Google Analytics, the collected data related to acquisition and user behavior on the web can be analyzed to be used as a goal, reference, and reliable data. The results showed that there were 304 (three hundred and four) titles of 3-dimensional E-Books produced, which were grouped into 12 categories. Users of 3-dimensional E-Books are spread across 12 (twelve) countries. The two countries that use the most are Indonesia, with 2,718 users (94.05%), followed by America with 72 users (2.49%). Meanwhile, the two most widely used 3-dimensional e-book categories were the tourism category with 625 (31.2%) and animal husbandry and agriculture 421 (21.0%). Considering that users of this 3-dimensional e-book are scattered in various countries, it is recommended that the production of this 3-dimensional e-book can be continued.

The Max Born Symmetry Topples the Many-Worlds Theory
Authors: Boyd Jeffrey H.
Published: May 2022

All “interpretations” of Quantum Mechanics (QM) are predicated on the assumption that quantum mathematics is correct. We disagree. The Born rule implies that nature may have a hidden symmetry: |+ψ|2 = |–ψ|2 = probability. If nature uses –ψ then physicists would not recognize that their math is 100% wrong. This hypothesis could explain the mystery that quantum math appears to be the most accurate and productive mathematics humans ever possessed, the source of our high-tech economy, yet scientists cannot agree on what the quantum world is like: does it exist, are there infinitely many worlds, etc. If we change our wave-function from +ψ to –ψ, that will mean that quantum particles follow zero-energy “Elementary Waves” backwards. This symmetry does not conform to Noether’s Theorem because it does not involve physical space, rather an error in the human imagination. Wave-function collapse no longer occurs when a quantum particle is observed. It occurs when a free particle is emitted: when the particle selects which in-coming Elementary Wave to follow backwards. This undermines the foundations of the many-worlds theory. A superposition of states collapses as a particle is emitted, becoming only one state, located in only one world, not many.
Type (Method/Approach): No one previously recognized the Born rule could hide a “Born Symmetry”: |+ψ|2 ≡ |–ψ|2. If so, it would be so immense, pervasive, insidious, and invisible that it could explain all quantum “weirdness” even though quantum math is the most accurate and productive science ever.

Published: May 2022

Two new species of oribatid mites, Ghilarovizetes labaheensis sp. nov. and Ghilarovizetes sichuanensis sp. nov. are described from China based on adult morphology. Ghilarovizetes labaheensis sp. nov. is characterized by rounded rostrum, lamella short and wide, tutorium narrow and concave medially, notogastral setae short-size as long as bothridial setae and four pairs of notogastral porose areas. The adult instar of Ghilarovizetes sichuanensis sp. nov. has large body size, rostrum concave medially, lamella long and narrow, notogastral setae minute and five pairs of notogastral porose areas (porose areas A1 divided into two parts).
Poland and global value chains at the beginning of the 21st century – An opportunity or a threat?
Authors: Nacewska-Twardowska Aleksandra
Published: May 2022

This article aims to examine and present trade relations in global value chains (GVCs) and their impact on Polish trade, emphasizing Poland's ability to react to rapid changes in the global economy, as in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, the author proposed a two-stage study. The first stage focuses on analyzing selected indexes describing the Polish share and position in GVCs against the background of the European Union (EU) and OECD countries. The second stage is related to the analysis of the latest economic trade data and the reaction of Poland, the EU, and OECD to changes in international trade in 2020 and 2021 in the context of GVC. The study uses data from the OECD and WTO Trade in Value Added Database and the Eurostat Database. The relatively quick adaptation of Poland to the world's standards indicates great possibilities for adaptation of the Polish economy. The share of foreign value added in Polish exports was consistent with global trends. The export orientation of Polish production increased during the analyzed period, proving Poland's deep commitment to global production chains. Despite a similar decline in import and export in the first months of 2020, as in the OECD and the EU26, the growth dynamics in the following months were higher in Poland. Many industries in Poland are highly dependent on the smooth operation of GVCs. At the same time, the service sector is gaining importance, and its share in exports is systematically growing. The highly flexible nature of Poland's international trade allowed it to reduce the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its economy.
Deeming Damascus ’Safe’ : The Implications of the Paradigm Shift in Danish Asylum Policy and the Increased Focus on Return
Authors: Gade Nielsen Emma
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the intensified focus on return in Danish asylum policy, the so-called paradigm shift of 2019, and the changed approach to asylum claims made by Syrian nationals from the Damascus region. It does so by analyzing nine asylum cases assessed by the Refugee Appeals Board and material produced by Danish state actors using the discourse analysis of Laclau and Mouffe (1985) and ‘the toolbox of governmentality’ (Walters 2012). The aim of the study was to understand the tactics of legitimization regarding the decision to reject asylum protection to three Syrian nationals as well as mapping the structures that facilitated the decisions. The study concludes that discourses linking ‘refugee status’ to ‘temporariness’ and ‘return’, ‘asylum protection’ to ‘international obligations’, and ‘the refugee’ to an essentialist understanding of the term are fundamental in facilitating the decisions made in the cases. Furthermore, a governmental goal of ensuring the security of society underpins and works to sustain these discourses. The findings contribute to creating detailed knowledge about the Danish asylum system and the logic supporting the increased focus on return.
Music’s Impact on the Sexualization of Black Bodies: Examining Links Between Hip-Hop and Sexualization of Black Women
Authors: Otto Elizabeth A. , Kumar Shaina A. , DiLillo David
Published: May 2022

The pervasiveness of sexualization in Western societies is harmful to women, regardless of racial or ethnic identity. However, predictors of sexualization among Black women are understudied. To address this gap, we examined whether listening to and liking hip-hop music would each independently relate to the sexualization of Black women in everyday life, and if this relation unfolded through greater exposure to objectification of Black women in music. A sample of 215 college students completed self-report questionnaires that assessed preferences for liking and listening to hip-hop music, exposure to objectification of Black women in music, and biases toward sexualizing Black women in everyday life. Results revealed that more exposure to objectification of Black women in music mediated the relation between increased listening to hip-hop music and greater sexualization of Black women in everyday life, B = 0.08, SE = 0.03, 95% CI [0.03, 0.13]. Similarly, the link between liking hip-hop music and sexualization of Black women in everyday life was mediated by exposure to objectification of Black women in music, B = 0.09, SE = 0.03, 95% CI [0.04, 0.15]. Results provide an initial step in understanding how preferences toward hip-hop music and exposure to objectification of Black women in musiccontributes to sexualization of Black women. Future research should continue contributing to conversations that challenge the hypersexualization of Black women.
