Authors: E.G. Borisova , Kh. O. Yagmurov , A.F. Spesivets
Published: April 2022

Abstract. According to the World Health Organization, chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis remains an acute unresolved medical problem of the population and affects up to 20%. Such a large volume of patients stimulates the development of new treatment methods. In domestic and foreign literature, the possibilities of orthopedic treatment for chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis are presented only in separate works. In this case, the question is not about the rejection of prosthetics. It is necessary for chronic aphthous stomatitis to choose the appropriate design of the prosthesis, which will eliminate the possibility of injury to the oral mucosa and the occurrence of an allergic reaction. Rational prosthetics is possible and necessary in terms of preventing the occurrence of relapses of chronic stomatitis. According to many authors, when preparing the oral cavity for prosthetics with chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis, it is important to determine the amount of possible orthopedic care. There are recommendations for the elimination of possible traumatic factors, the correct restoration of the height of the lower face when providing orthopedic dental care to patients with chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis. To prevent exacerbations in preparation for dental procedures, researchers suggest treating the oral cavity with gels or solutions containing an anesthetic. In many literature sources, when prosthetics with removable lamellar dentures of extensive defects in the dentition or the complete absence of teeth, it is necessary to use two-layer bases made of colorless plastic with an elastic lining. Aim of the study: to analyze domestic and foreign literature on the issues of orthopedic treatment of patients suffering from chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Material and methods. An analysis of the literature on this issue was carried out, where a significant place is given to the importance of oral hygiene, weakening the toxic-allergic effect of polymers, improving the technology for manufacturing removable lamellar dentures, the use of magnetic therapy and low-intensity laser radiation. Conclusions. An analysis of the literature data and our own observations confirms the need for further study of the issue of providing qualified dental orthopedic care to patients with chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis and ways to accelerate adaptation to removable partial or full dentures in patients with this pathology.
A Novel Technique for Contrast Target Detection in Through-the-Wall Radar Images
Authors: Singh Akhilendra Pratap , Dwivedi Smrity , Jain Pradip Kumar
Published: April 2022

Through-the-wall radar images suffer from strong clutter due to the presence of dielectric walls and environmental noise. Several approaches have been explored to reduce clutter for detecting targets with similar dielectric constants. However, in real-time scenarios, targets may not have similar dielectric constants. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technique for detecting contrast targets—that is, targets with different dielectric constants behind a wall in the same scene. This paper proposes a novel technique that combines time gating and Gaussian mixture model based low-rank approximation to detect contrast targets present in the same scene. The proposed method was compared to existing clutter reduction techniques in terms of target-to-clutter ratio (TCR). The experimental results showed that the proposed approach yielded highest TCR (130.1).
Predicting Exchange Rate under UIRP Framework with Support Vector Regression
Authors: Khoa Bui Thanh , Huynh Tran Trong
Published: April 2022

This study aimed to forecast the exchange rate between the Vietnamese dong and the US dollar for the following month in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It used the Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm under the Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIRP) theoretical framework; the results are compared with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model and the Random Walk (RW) model under the rolling window method. The data included the VND/USD exchange rate, the bank interest rate for the 1-month term, and the 1-month T-bill from January 01, 2020, to September 11, 2021. The research discovered a linear link between the two nations' exchange rates and interest rate differentials. Interest rate differentials are input variables to forecast interest rate differentials. Furthermore, the connection between the exchange rate and interest rate differentials during this era does not support the UIRP hypothesis; hence, the error for OLS predictions remains large. The study provided a model to forecast future exchange rates by combining the UIRP theoretical framework and the SVR algorithm. The UIRP theoretical framework can anticipate exchange rate differentials using the input variable and the interest rates between two nations. Meanwhile, the SVR algorithm is a robust machine learning technique that enhances prediction accuracy. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-03-014 Full Text: PDF
Çeviride kadın izi: feminist çeviri stratejileri
Authors: ÇELİK Kübra
Published: April 2022

Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de feminist söylemin oluşumu ve gelişiminde edebî eserlerin ve çevirilerin önemli bir paya sahip olduğu düşünülür. Bu makalede Türkiye’de feminist söylemin gelişiminde etkili olduğu düşünülen feminist çeviri örneklerinde yer alan feminist çeviri stratejileri, Women’s Estate (1971) ve The Rights and Wrongs of Women (1976) başlıklı iki feminist eserin çevirilerinde yer alan yan metinler üzerinden ele alınacaktır. Bu bağlamda Juliet Mitchell tarafından yazılan Women’s Estate (1971) adlı eserin Türkiyedeki ilk kadın çeviri grubu Kadın Çevresi çevirmenleri Gülseli İnal, Gülnur Savran, Şirin Tekeli, Feraye Tınç, Şule Torun ve Yaprak Zihnioğlu tarafından yapılan Türkçe çevirisi Kadınlık Durumu (1985) ile Juliet Mitchell ve Ann Oakley tarafından derlenen The Rights and Wrongs of Women (1976) eserinin Fatmagül Berktay tarafından yapılan Türkçe çevirisi Kadın ve Eşitlik (1984, 1992, 1998)’de kullanılan feminist çeviri stratejileri irdelenecektir. Bu irdelemede Massardier-Kenney’in “Towards a Redefinition of Feminist Translation Practice” (1997) başlıklı makalesinde ortaya koyulan feminist çeviri stratejileri temel alınacaktır. Yapılan değerlendirme neticesinde bu eserlerin çevirmenlerince tercih edilen çeviri stratejilerinin Massardier-Kenney’in yukarıda adı geçen makalesinde yer alan feminist çeviri stratejileri ile benzer olduğu görülmüştür. Feminist söylemin gelişim aşamasında Batı edebiyatından Türkçeye kazandırılan bu eserlerde yer alan feminist çeviri stratejilerinin irdelenmesinin Türkiyedeki feminist harekete ve feminist çeviri pratiğine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: April 2022

There is strong scientific evidence that prenatal physical activity of moderate-to-high in-tensity is a prerequisite of the proper course of pregnancy, childbirth and fetus development. How-ever, to date little data have been available on high intensity interval training (HIIT) performed during pregnancy. Following the PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review aimed at: first, to characterize HIIT protocols used or planned to be implemented during pregnancy; second, to determine their training effects on participant’s health and obstetric outcomes. We included nine original works and three clinical trials in the analysis. The HIIT protocols substantially differed in terms of the training components (type, intensity, frequency, duration and progression) and the structure of intervals (intensity and time of workout and recovery intervals). Our most important finding is that performing HIIT during pregnancy is safe in terms of obstetric outcomes and well tolerated by pregnant participants, while providing them with the enjoyment of exercise. HIIT interventions either led to an improvement in selected maternal and fetal health parameters or had no impact. No adverse effects were observed. Pregnant women may benefit from HIIT programs in the same way as other populations. Evidence-based recommendations on prenatal HIIT should be developed and promoted worldwide among pregnant women, exercise and health professionals.

Authors: BOYANMIS Ayse Hazal , Akin Manolya
Published: April 2022

Introduction. The aim of this study was to understand the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) and plyometric training methods on the development of taekwondo technical kick force in active taekwondo athletes. Material and Method. 31 taekwondo athletes, aged between 15 and 18 years, voluntarily participated in the study. They were divided into the blood flow restriction, plyom-etric training and control groups. In addition to taekwondo training, blood flow restriction and plyometric training group were trained for 6 weeks. Technical strike force measurements were made with Herman Digital Trainer, placed on the Hasedo. The difference was examined by the paired sample t-test. Comparison of three groups was made with a use of the Friedman test. Re-sults. Statistically significant pre- and post-test differences were found in all technical impact strength values except Tolyochagi right leg in groups participating in BFR training. The difference in the right and left foot and palding kick, the right foot tolyochagi kick, and the right-left foot dwitchagi stroke was statistically significant only in the BFR training group. Conclusions. Con-sidering the effective development of the BFR method on technical strike force in Taekwondo athletes, it is thought that adding the BFR method to routine taekwondo training under the su-pervision of an expert will positively contribute to success.

Published: April 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the resulting discoloration through a combination of immersion times and different drying methods. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design arranged in a factorial experiment with four replications. The first factor was immersion time, i.e., no immersion; immersed for 24 hours; immersed for 48 hours; while the second factor was drying methods, including without drying; drying in direct sunlight; drying by smoking, and drying by roasting in the sand. The research data were processed using the SPSS program using one-way ANOVA analysis by design. The Tukey test on treatments that were significantly different at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that: 1). Canarium nut without drying (fresh) produces a color (L) with a higher brightness level compared to the color of canarium nut from drying, smoking, and roasting; 2). Immersion for up to 48 hours did not result in significant changes to the color component; and 3) the change in color components was relatively small among the three different drying methods, namely drying in direct sunlight, smoking, and roasting.
Reliability and Validity of the Mongolian version of affective touch questionnaire

Published: April 2022

Communication via the sense of touch has long been perceived as an important aspect of human development, social comfort, and well-being. Human somatosensory system has in fact two tactile sub-modalities, one providing the well-recognized discriminative touch input to the brain, and the second–the affective or emotional input. C-tactile system is hypothesized to represent the neurobiological substrate for affective and rewarding properties of touch. Lower relationship quality is associated with lower resilience to stressors and can lead to increased vulnerability to mental health disorders. Based on the existing work, we know that social touch can increase well-being and lower state-anxiety. Our goal was to prove content validity for the Mongolian version with the factor structure of the original English version of the TEAQ. We translated, and adapted TEAQ for Mongolian language version. Original TEAQ-117 items were used in the pilot study. In the present study, enrolled 204 participants, age varied between 18 and 57 years (26.9±8.8), 57.8% were female. Validated TEAQ-57 items English version was used, and Exploratory factor analysis confirmed 55 items with 6 component structure. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good consistency and homogeneity of the 6 factor structure of the TEAQ, and satisfactory model fit. Several subscales of the TEAQ revealed positive correlations on quality of life domains, in contrast negative correlations with anxiety and depression. In conclusion, analysed Mongolian version of the TEAQ-55 is a reliable and valid assessment tool of experiences and attitudes towards touch, and similar to component structure for different cultures (Validated British TEAQ-57, and TEAQ-37 RUS). We expected that Mongolian version of the TEAQ might be a helpful tool for screening mental health issues and researchers.
The Letter of Patriarch Dionysius of Constantinople to Novgorod (1467): Fate of the Slavic Translation
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Korogodina Maria V.
Published: April 2022

The Letter issued by the Patriarch Dionysius of Constantinople was sent to Novgorod in 1467 and affirmed Gregory Bulgarian as the only legal Kiev Metropolitan. It is known in two handwritten copies, glued into the same Gospel of 16th century. The research of these copies let us ascertain that one of them was written in 1460th and had the form of the document, not of the bookish copy. We can suppose that ambassadors had this Slavic version of the Letter with them in Lithuania. The Supplements include the text of the Letter according to the oldest copy with alternative readings according to the copy of 17th century.
A Witness of the Matrimonial Rituals from Old Novgorod. Inscription on a Bone from the 13th Century Excavated 2020
Authors: Bobrik Marina A. , Singkh Viktor K. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: April 2022

In the summer of 2020, a fragment of a cow's rib with a Cyrillic inscription was found at excavations in Novgorod. The place of the find is one of the richest boyar estates in the Lyudin quarter of medieval Novgorod. The time of the document hitting the ground is the last quarter of the 13th—the first twenty years of the 14th century. The inscription is fully preserved, it contains a whole readable message. The historical and cultural value of the find lies in the content of its compact inscription: it is unique evidence of a bride-price agreement. The terminology is of value: the bride, on whose behalf the text is written, and the groom (addressee) are designated not by their own names (Christian or pre-Christian), but by the images of the ritual folklore of the wedding — kuna ‘marten’ (she) and sobol’a ‘sable’ (he). The bride-price is no less interesting. The text communicates an idea of a dialogue between the two sides of the marriage ritual. The new evidence of the matrimonial rites and the associated oral-written communication expands our understanding of this sphere of medieval culture and allows us to correct some interpretations of the few birch bark letters on the topic of marriage.
Slavonic Quotations from Athanasius’ Orations against the Arians in Joseph Volotsky and Metropolitan Daniil
Authors:   Charles University, Lytvynenko Viacheslav V.
Published: April 2022

This article identifies a set of Slavonic passages from Athanasius’ Orations against the Arians quoted by Joseph Volotsky and Metropolitan Daniil in opposition to the heresy of Judaizers. These writers are two of the three men (the third one being Zinoviy Otenskiy who is examined in a separate study) that cited Athanasius’ work as originally written in Greek and translated to Slavonic in 907 (today preserved in ten manuscripts of Russian origin). This study is aimed at exploring the significance of this fact, and it also provides a transcription and analysis of all the quotations by comparing them with the text of the Orations in all known manuscripts.
Constraints on cooperation shape hierarchical vs distributed structure in human groups
Authors: Zefferman Matthew
Published: April 2022

Cooperation is ubiquitous in human organizations and it is often maintained by monitoring and punishment institutions. However, there is much variation in how these institutions are structured. Some organizations are distributed, with diffuse monitoring and collective punishment. Others are hierarchical with centralized tree-like systems of monitoring and punishment. Why are some organizations distributed and others hierarchical? Models of cooperation typically assume either distributed or hierarchical structures, but they rarely consider why these different structures exist. I explore this question with a games-on-networks model and find that distributed organizations are favored when punishment is expensive, but monitoring is cheap. Hierarchical organizations are favored when punishment is cheap and, for these organizations, the cost of monitoring limits supervisors' spans of control. These findings suggest a path to increasing social and organizational complexity in human history and provide insight into why large-scale distributed organizations are possible when technologies, like the internet, allow for extremely efficient monitoring.
Mutual Diffusion Coefficients from NMR Imaging
Authors: Bellaire Daniel , Münnemann Kerstin , Hasse Hans
Published: April 2022

In the present work, we use nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measurethe mutual diffusion coefficient of methane in toluene at 298 K. The concentrationfield obtained upon dissolving gaseous methane in liquid toluene wasmonitored with two-dimensional MRI. To cope with the low concentration ofmethane, a chemical shift-selective pulse sequence was employed. The diffusioncoefficient was determined from the resulting temporally and spatially resolvedconcentration data based on Fick’s second law. The resulting diffusion coefficientis in good agreement with reference data. We conclude that MRI experimentsare well-suited for quantitative studies of mutual diffusion in liquidmixtures, also in challenging applications as the one studied here.
Don’t Force It! Gradient Speech Categorization Calls for Continuous Categorization Tasks
Authors: Apfelbaum Keith S , Kutlu Ethan , McMurray Bob , Kapnoula Efthymia C
Published: April 2022

Research on speech categorization and phoneme recognition has relied heavily on tasks in which participants listen to stimuli from a speech continuum, and are asked to either classify each stimulus (identification) or discriminate between them (discrimination). Such tasks rest on assumptions about how perception maps onto discrete responses – assumptions that have not been thoroughly investigated. Here we identify critical challenges in the link between these tasks and theories of speech perception. In particular, we show that patterns that have traditionally been linked to categorical perception could arise despite continuous underlying perception; and that patterns that run counter to categorical perception could arise despite underlying categorical perception. We describe an alternative measure of speech perception using a Visual Analogue Scale that better differentiates between processes at play in speech perception, and review some recent findings that show how this task can be used to better inform our theories.
Low Research Data Availability in Educational Psychology Journals: No Indication of Effective Research Data Policies
Authors: Huff Markus , Bongartz Elke C.
Published: April 2022

Research data availability contributes to the transparency of the research process and the credibility of educational psychology research and science in general. Recently, there have been many initiatives to increase the availability and quality of research data. Many research institutions have adopted research data policies. This increased awareness might have raised the sharing of research data in empirical articles. To test this idea, we coded N = 1242 publications from six educational psychology journals and the psychological journal Cognition (as a baseline) published in 2018 and 2020. Research data availability was low (3.85% compared to 62.74% in Cognition) but has increased from 0.32% (2018) to 7.16% (2020). However, neither the data transparency level of the journal nor the existence of an official research data policy on the level of the corresponding author's institution was related to research data availability. We discuss the consequences of these findings for institutional research data management processes.

Meta-analytic Tests of Measurement Invariance of Internalizing and Externalizing Psychopathology Across Common Methodological Characteristics

Published: April 2022

Factor analytic models of common mental disorders have been hypothesized to be affected by various methodological features, which could undermine the assumption that Internalizing and Externalizing reflect part of the natural structure of psychopathology. In this study, we addressed this issue by testing whether and how methodological features affect the empirical structure of psychopathology using meta-analytic measurement invariance models of Internalizing and Externalizing across multiple sample characteristics. Published studies estimating factor analytic models from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnoses were screened. A total of 47 samples (N = 118,966) were included in the meta-analysis. Data were pooled into meta-analytic correlation matrices using random effects models that accounted for sampling variability. Multi-group confirmatory factor analytic models of Internalizing and Externalizing were fit to the pooled matrix of DSM diagnoses to test invariance of the structure, factor loadings, and factor covariance. Results supported partial or full invariance across (1) samples selected vs. not selected for psychopathology, (2) diagnoses defined by binary DSM thresholds vs. dimensional symptoms counts, and (3) diagnoses based on lifetime vs. current symptoms. Tentative analyses indicated non-invariance across samples that made diagnoses using hierarchical exclusion rules vs. those that did not. Our study suggests that the Internalizing and Externalizing structure is largely robust to common methodological characteristics thought to impact factor analytic models.
Circular Disruption: Concepts, Enablers and Ways Ahead
Authors: Kirchherr Julian , Ramos Tomás , Bauwens Thomas
Published: April 2022

The circular economy concept is widely celebrated among scholars and practitioners as an allegedly viable pathway towards sustainability. However, limited progress has been made thus far in implementing this concept. Indeed, scholarly research has oftentimes focused on barriers to circular economy implementation, but less about how to lead and practically implement the change to circular economy. The aim of this special issue is to shift the scholarly discourse towards investigating how circular economy implementation may work. Accordingly, we propose and develop the term 'circular disruption' throughout the nine papers that constitute this special issue. Circular disruption is about radically and rapidly reconfiguring the current socio-technical system towards a more sustainable model. Whereas a variety of stakeholders are likely needed for circular disruption to happen, the papers in the special issue at hand particularly explore the role of policymakers and businesses (incumbents, start-ups) as enablers. Furthermore, we explore digitization as possibly one of the most under-estimated ways ahead regarding sustainability. This special issue may contribute to provoking a fruitful debate on further accelerating the transition towards a circular economy.

Plantar fibroma is a benign but locally proliferative cause of heel pain with a high risk of recurrence with local recurrence and the risk of altering the mechanics of the foot. Various non-surgical management has been reported with varying efficacy and side effects. This article reports on a series of cases where the symptoms were controlled with the use of suitably modified orthotics aided by accurate siting of apertures with the use of ultrasonography scans of the lesions. Effective control of symptoms without side effects allowed the patients to return to their customary physical activity.

Objective: This paper explores the experiences of Clinical Exercise Physiologists (CEPs) and physicians participating in a pilot exercise referral program in Atlantic Canada. Additionally, the study aims to identify the barriers and facilitators that could impact broader integration of exercise professionals into primary healthcare teams. Design: Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with CEPs and physicians involved in the exercise referral program to explore their experiences with the exercise referral program. The Socio-Ecological Model was used to draft a list of interview topics for discussion. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Lichtman’s three Cs approach to qualitative analysis. Setting: Two urban family medicine clinics associated with an Atlantic Canadian university. Participants: Four CEPs and five family medicine physicians who participated in the exercise referral program. Results: Four main themes emerged from data generation: (1) the importance of CEP-led advocacy for exercise referral in healthcare, (2) gaps in training and regulation of CEPs, (3) the unclear role for exercise professionals within healthcare, and (4) policy and organizational changes required to improve exercise referral. Conclusion: Based on our results, to improve exercise counselling services, efforts should be made to improve the ability of CEPs to advocate for their role on healthcare teams, address issues related to CEP training and regulation in Canada, create a more clearly defined role for exercise professionals within healthcare, and improve exercise referral billing and coverage. To our knowledge, this is the first study to qualitatively investigate the integration of CEPs into primary healthcare teams in Canada and could help guide efforts to expand multidisciplinary healthcare moving forward.

Partners realize that the production of cultivated fish can still be increased, one of which is by monitoring water quality by providing aeration to maintain water health. Partners need a technological assistance that can improve the quality of results and production levels in a shorter time, and of course not incur large electricity costs from using this technology. This community service program activity is designed to solve partner problems. The proposal team provided a technology product called E-Ox Level, a proven technology to monitor pond water quality and control the aerator engine to keep it at optimum water quality standards. This technology is energy efficient, because it utilizes solar energy. This product can reduce operating costs and increase production yields. This program shows positive results. The results of its installation in the Budikdamber pond showed that the growth rate of fish length and weight was faster than the pond without the help of technology, and the mortality rate was recorded to be lower. These results are similar when the technological device is applied to larger biofloc ponds.

Kemuning Lor Village, Jember majority working as a farmer and animal breeders especially cattle. Recorded 15 people from a total number of cattle with a total of 32 cows. One cow usually produces 10-15 kg of manure per day. According to the survey we have conducted, 5 out of 10 residents of Kemuning Lor are not aware of the use of cow dung in biogas. Volunteer activities in Kemuning Lor aim to provide education to residents in overcoming the problem of cow dung to be processed into biogas to deal with environmental pollution problems. Desa Sadar Energi program was initiated in Kemuning Lor to raise awareness from cow dung into energy that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The implementation method consisted of pre-socialization interviews, socialization, and post-socialization interviews. There is a 72% increase in public understanding regarding the definition and use of biogas. Biogas with a digester volume of 9 m3 is equivalent to LPG of 4.14 kg. The processing of cow dung waste into biogas can reduce the cost of expenditure for household LPG so that it is more economical and the raw material, cow dung, which is abundant and sustainable, is very easy to reach by the society.

Examining the Process and Effects of Engaging Patients and Family in Health Service Evaluation: Results from a One-Year Prospective Intervention Study
Authors: Gilbert Nathalie , Cousins J. Bradley
Published: April 2022

Abstract: Research on program evaluation in the context of patient and family engagement is highly limited. Collaborative approaches to evaluation (CAE), with their emphasis on evaluators working in partnership with program community members, align well with patient- and family-centred care philosophy and hold great promise in leveraging desired outcomes. In this prospective intervention case study, we tracked a one-year collaborative initiative to engage health care providers, patients, and family members in improvement-oriented needs assessment activities. The findings illuminate the lived experiences of health-care staff, patients, and family members with the CAE process. We conclude with implications for ongoing research and practice.
