CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF PERIODIZATION OF THE HISTORICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PHENOMENON
Authors: Semenovska
Published: December 2020

Based on the analysis of the achievements of the classical and modern philosophical, psychological and pedagogical knowledge, theoretical and methodological foundations for substantiating the periodization of the historical and pedagogical phenomenon are determined. In this regard, the general scientific, pedagogical and historical-pedagogical approaches have been characterized, their importance has been proved to ensure the narrative nature of the study, the unity and continuity of the historical-pedagogical process.It is proved that the periodization of historical and pedagogical phenomena is one of the most complex, complex and multilevel problems of scientific knowledge. Periodization requires a thorough study of the object of study, data related to the pedagogy of science, a developed scientific and methodological worldview of the researcher. Analysis of the state of periodization of historical and pedagogical phenomena will identify the most typical shortcomings in the implementation of this scientific task, so to create conditions for further development of methodological foundations of historical and pedagogical science.The article states that classical and modern philosophical teachings are reflected in general and specific scientific methodologies of historical and pedagogical research, the main provisions of which are interdependent and interact with each other. This approach ensures the objectivity and narrative of scientific research, which is aimed at justifying the periodization of the historical and pedagogical phenomenon. Analysis of the methodological foundations of the problem allows us to conclude that their specificity is a combination of the doctrine of cognitive and practical methods. Therefore, the definition of theoretical and methodological principles of studying periodization is not only a means of achieving a high level of generalization, but also a tool for the practical transformation of pedagogical reality on a scientific basis.

Key words: period ization, historical and pedagogical phenomenon, development, scientific approaches, philosophical doctrine.

Notas sobre o Hospital como Dispositivo Biopolítico em Foucault
Authors: De Soveral Gomes da Costa Mariana
Published: December 2020

Na obra de Michel Foucault, a instituição hospital constitui-se como um dispositivo biopolítico exemplar do nexo entre saber e poder. Esta comunicação abordará o laço entre medicalização do hospital e a hospitalização da medicina. No final do séc. XVIII, ao mesmo tempo que o hospital passa de morredouro a máquina de curar, a medicina deixa de ser uma técnica geral de saúde para se assumir como prática clínica. O devir-ciência da medicina tem como correlato uma organização do espaço hospitalar caracterizada por uma distribuição espacial dos elementos, desde a arquitectura ao interior hospitalar, cujo critério é a optimização dos processos e dos resultados – o controlo da doença e a maximização da vida. Por outro lado, a tomada de poder pelo médico que Foucault aí denota pode também dar a ver o modo como o médico, no topo da hierarquia hospitalar, é afinal assujeitado pelo poder que representa.

Authors: Xu Yang , Qiu Ting Ting
Published: December 2020

With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for health monitoring and exercise detection is increasing. It is of great significance to study human activity recognition methods that are different from traditional feature extraction methods. This article uses convolutional neural network algorithms in deep learning to automatically extract features of activities related to human life. It uses a stochastic gradient descent algorithm to optimize the parameters of the convolutional neural network. The trained network model is compressed on STM32CubeMX-AI. Finally, this article introduces the use of neural networks on embedded devices to recognize six human activities of daily life, such as sitting, standing, walking, jogging, upstairs and downstairs. The acceleration sensor related to human activity information is used to obtain the relevant characteristics of the activity, thereby solving the human activity recognition (HAR) problem. The network structure of the constructed CNN model is shown in Figure 1, including an input layer, two convolutional layers and two pooling layers. After comparing the average accuracy of each set of experiments and the test set of the best model obtained from it, the best model is then selected.

CORPORATE SOCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIP IN BANKS: SUB-INDUSTRY AND CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Daszyńska-Żygadło Karolina , Słoński Tomasz , Dziadkowiec Anna
Published: December 2020

The aim of the paper is to reveal how corporate social performance (CSP) affects market value and earnings capabilities of companies from banking industry: Banking Services and Investment Banking & Investment Services sub-industries in particular. For Banking Services, the research was extended to a link between corporate social performance and corporate financial performance (CSP-CFP) by classifying institutions into clusters based on a type of culture which dominates in a bank’s country of origin. Regression analysis was run on a unique dataset, which comprehensively captures the contextuality of CSP, measured with corporate governance, environmental and social characteristics. This research uses Refinitiv database of ESG Scores as CSP proxy for banks from all over the world in the period of 2009–2016. The results confirm that environmental performance and social performance have negative impact on CFP in banks and partly confirmed that governance performance has a positive impact on their CFP. This research proves that banks’ CSP performance and the CSP-CFP relationship differs with regard to the type of bank operations as well as the associated culture. This is an important conclusion for investors seeking to increase value of their holdings and bank management who wants to foster bank’s profitability through CSP-related decisions.

Globalization, technological development and a dynamic business environment influence the change of customer information demands. It becomes vital for organizations to find out the customer demand change and discover technological solutions to satisfy these demands. One of these technologies is augmented reality, which connects real and digital environments by expanding it with digitally coded information which is decoded by using a specific device. As this type of technology enables the changing information needs of customers to be met faster, organizations are increasingly using these technological solutions to achieve a variety of purposes: to position products innovatively, increase product awareness, create added value for the customer, increase sales. However, organizations often face the challenge of evaluating commercial augmented reality mobile applications in user experience. A two-case study has been selected to evaluate the user experience of augmented reality commercial mobile applications and provide recommendations for their development to address this issue. In this research, such methods as scoping scientific literature review, expert evaluation, and user experience questionnaire method were used. The study has identified the main factors influencing the positive user experience: the explicit purpose of the application, easy to use and learn, smooth operation, imaginative information presentation, and interactivity.
Анализа на мајчинските и акушерските фактори за ризик за прематурна ретинопатија кај прематуруси чија тежина е над 1500г и гестациска возраст над 30 недели
Authors: Isjanovski Igor , Isjanovski Viktor
Published: December 2020

Прематурната ретинопатија  (РОП) е главна причина за слепило кај предвремено родените бебиња. Инциденцата на РОП се зголемува во земјите во развој  и се должи на зголемување на преживување на предвремено родените деца. Прематурната ретинопaтија (РОП) е сериозна компликација кај предвремено родени деца која може да доведе до слепило, освен ако се дијагностицира и се третира рано. Цел на оваа студија е да се проучат  мајчините и акушерските фактори на ризик за РОП. Материјал и методи: Истражувањето преставува аналитичка  “Case control” студија во периодот 2015-2016г. Во студијата се вклучени  163 предвреме родени деца кои не ги исполнуваат критериумите на Американската академија за офталмологија (ААО), со родилна тежина се  над 1500 г и гестациска старост над 30 недела. Мајките се поделени во две групи во однос на новородените со РОП и без. За оставрување на целите се користеше дводелен анкетен прашалник, првиот дел од прашалникот се однесува на прашања за мајката. Резултати: ИВФ (ин витро фертилизациа) ја зголемува веројатноста за РОП повеќе од два пати OR=2.1256 (1.1133-4.0585). Како независни фактори  мултипната бременост ја зголемува веројатноста за РОП за два и пол пати. Прееклампсијата делува протективно, ја намалува веројатноста за настанување на РОП. Начинот на породување, возраста на мајката, број на бремености, број на раѓања, консумирање на алкохол, пушење, наркотици не претставувaат ризик фактори. Треба да се обрне големо внимание на дефинирањето на ризик факторите, нивната комплексност, развојот и прогресијата на прематурната ретинопатија и нејзината превенција  кои се само еден дел од прашањата со кој се соочуваат офталмолозите и неонатолозитe во текот на  својата работа. Во студијата се потврдија истите ризик факори кои се регистрираат на кај прематурусите според ААО (родилна тежина под 1500 г и под 30-та гестациска недела). Заклучок: протоколите за скрининг на РОП да се модифицираат, покрај инклузионите критериуми на ААО да се вклучат и прематуруси според препораката на неонатолозите за зголемен ризик за развој на прематурна ретинопатија, а се со родилна тежина над 1500 г и над 30-та гестациска недела.
Perinatal outcome in context of the social determinants of health
Authors: Zisovska Elizabeta
Published: December 2020

The importance of recognition of the social determinants and the degree to which they influence the perinatal health is of utmost significance for the reproductive epidemiology and therefore they are important causes of the health inequalities within and between the countries.  These facts have implied the aims of this study, to evaluate four frequent social determinants (level of education, employment status, parity and antenatal controls) and their influence on the two adverse perinatal outcomes – preterm/near term newborn of 35-37 gestational weeks, and small for gestational age baby (SGA). The research is a part of very extensive study, and by design it was prospective cohort study during which validated Questionnaire was used and extracted data from the maternal and neonatal history. As very relevant, the statistical parameters Relative Risk and Numbers Needed to Treat (NNT) were used for risk analysis. The Results have shown strong influence of the maternal education on the both perinatal outcomes. The Relative risk for preterm delivery in 35-37th gestational week in mother of uneducated mother is 14,963 (95%CI 4,54-49,27) compared to mother of academic level of education; the relative risk for SAG newborn is 3,204 (95%CI 2,12-4,84); in unemployed mother, the relative risk for preterm delivery is 4,585 of that in mother of academic level (95%CI 2,27-9,28), whereas for SGA baby is 4,799 (95%CI 3,17-7,26). No antenatal control in pregnancy is high risk for bad outcome, but in this study the Relative risk for preterm delivery was 1,293 (95%CI 0,67-2,47), and for SGA babies it was very low compared to full control in pregnancy, and was 1,041 (95%CI 0,84-1,29).
According to these findings, it is obvious that the understanding of the social determinants of health priorities are the first and the most important step towards their gradual reduction, and this action is an entry point for global action to reach the health goals. Therefore, it is recommended such types of research studies to be conducted in extensive sample size, considering as much as possible social determinants, and performing multivariate analysis, in order to get higher statistical significance, which will help in creating strategies and activities for reduction of the most influential social determinants and improvement of the perinatal outcome of the newborns.
Comparative analysis of materiovigilance systems of Macedonia, USА, EU, Japan and China and their role in public health
Authors: Kokolanski Vlatko , Trajkovikj -Jolevska Suzana , Isjanovska Rozalinda , Ivanovski Kiro , Dirjanska Katarina
Published: December 2020

Materiovigilance is a system applied for the purpose of detecting, gathering, monitoring, assessing and responding to new data on safety of medicinal products and related to the use of medical device related to possible incidents during use. The aim of this paper was to show the characteristics of the system of materiovigilance in the Republic of Macedonia compared to four other jurisdictions (US, EU, Japan and China), the recognition of the advantages and disadvantages of the systems and their impact on public health. Material and methods: For the realization of the aim of the study, we conducted an analysis of data published on the web pages of regulatory authorities related to the existing legal framework and review of the literature available on the network for scientists and researchers ResearchGate. General dialectical method as well as legal methods (dogmatic and normative method) were used in this study in order to determine the content, the meaning and the importance of the legal norms which regulate the system of materiovigilance. Results: The five systems of materiovigilance have several features that include monitoring of adverse events caused by medical device that have been granted a marketing authorization. Globally, these systems provide different, shared responsibility of all stakeholders. Thus, the scope of responsibilities of producers is significantly higher in Japan and China, opposed to the EU and Macedonia, where the responsibility is passed on to distributors, health professionals and other for-profit entities. United States is in the middle between these two extreme systems of materiovigilance, where the FDA has the responsibility to protect the public health forecasting responsibilities to the industry. Conclusion: There are significant variations in the regulation system of materiovigilance in the Republic of Macedonia and the analyzed legal systems. To date, there is no empirical evidence that one system is better than another, but it is indisputable that each system has its advantages and disadvantages regarding the protection of public health. Within the analyzed systems of materiovigilance three best practices can be seen that contribute to the improvement of public health: transparency, repeating the examination of medical device and central versus local control.
Systematic review and comparative analysis of current methodological approach for risk assessment of “Ohis Plant Skopje”
Authors: Kosteska Sandra , Gjorgjev Dragan
Published: December 2020

Considering complicity in ecological health and social aspects of industrial contaminated sites (ICSs), the methodologies and approaches of health impact assessments are very heterogeneous. ICSHNet together with WHO recommend two main methodological approaches: health risk assessments and epidemiological studies. Some countries have necessary experience for impact assessment of ICSs, but others have limited resources and less intensity studies. In the Republic of North Macedonia, 16 ICSs are identified, but one of them, lindane dumpsite in OHIS Plant is characterized as the most ecological and public health risk. The general aim: Systematic review of literature data about methodological approaches for health risk assessment of ICSs on international and national level in order to make comparative analysis of current methodological approaches in the Republic of North Macedonia using the case study of ICS OHIS PLANT SKOPJE. Material and methods: The review of scientific and grey literature was performed. The selected scientific studies were searched in the PubMed and Medline databases from 2000-2017, in English and Macedonian. The selected studies and data were analyzed by required information for identification of hazards, exposure assessment and risk characterization. Additionally, the review was performed on published reports of risk assessment of OHIS Plant. Results: A total of 14 original papers were investigated. Continuous monitoring systems for gathering environmental data related to ICSs were used only in two cases and in other studies the concentrations of contaminants in the source were calculated or several ad hoc monitoring campaigns were performed. Exposure assessment was conducted according to qualitative definition for the presence/absence of a source, distance to a source and biomonitoring in the study. Mortality, cancer incidence, congenital abnormalities and hospitalizations were used health data. The study of risk assessment of OHIS Plant has ecological design and indirect quantitative exposure assessment model was used. Conclusion: All investigated studies used three main methodological approaches for exposure assessment: measurement of hazard concentration, distance from source and biomonitoring. Comparable, conducted risk assessment of OHIS Plant follows the recommendations of US EPA and ATSDR with weakness of no existing continual monitoring process and also deficiency of health data and this is the reason for limitation of health impact assessment and setting up EPHT or other public health surveillance system.

Knowledge about the distribution of living organisms on Earth is very important for many areas of biological science and understanding of the surrounding world. However, much of the existing distributional data are scattered throughout a multitude of sources, such as taxonomic publications, checklists and natural history collections and often, bringing them together is difficult. A very successful attempt to solve this problem is the GBIF project, which allows a huge number of researchers to publish data in one place in a single standard. Our dataset represents a significant addition to the occurrences of amphibians in the Volga, Don riverine basins and adjacent territories.

The dataset contains up-to-date information on amphibian occurrences in the Volga river basin and adjacent territories, located for the most part on the Russian plain of European Russia. The dataset is based on our own studies that were conducted in the years 1996-2020. The dataset consists of 5,030 incident records, all linked to geographical coordinates. A total of 13 amphibian species belonging to nine genera and six families have been registered within the studied territory, although the distribution of amphibian species in this region of Russia has not yet been fully studied. This is especially relevant with the spread of cryptic species that can only be identified using molecular genetic research methods.

The main purpose of publishing a database is to make our data available in the global biodiversity system to a wide range of users. The data can be used by researchers, as well as helping the authorities to manage their territory more efficiently.

All occurrences are published in GBIF for the first time. Most of the data are stored in field diaries and we would like to make it available to everyone by adding it in the global biodiversity database (GBIF).

Nesting ecology of the Pacific cicada killer, Sphecius convallis Patton (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae), in the Sonoran Desert
Authors: Coelho Joseph R. , Hastings Jon M. , Holliday Charles W.
Published: December 2020

Factors affecting the ecology of a large population of Pacific cicada killers (Sphecius convallis) occupying a field of mine tailings in Ruby, AZ, were examined. Burrows were quite dense in certain areas around the periphery of the mine tailings, but were dispersed randomly within these areas. Approximately 1600 females (based on burrow counts) and 2500 males (based on mark-recapture) were recorded, yielding a total population estimate of 5000–6000 adults. Female wasps were able to dig much more rapidly in the mine tailings than their congeners S. speciosus in soils from PA, suggesting that the habitat suitability was a large factor in this robust population. Provisioning rate was comparatively slow, however, suggesting that cicada abundance in that year was not a contributor to the high population density. The presence of a sap-producing tree may have eased the energetic and thermoregulatory demands of the wasps. Although excavations revealed that the number of burrows and cells could easily maintain the population size, the lack of cicadas probably resulted instead in a population crash the following season.

Published: December 2020

Ecosystems under ecological restoration should be monitored in order to investigate if the ecosystem is being functionally recovered, especially in highly vulnerable biodiversity hotspots like Andean forests. Here we sampled Hymenoptera families in four Andean forest reserves above 1800 masl from Southern Ecuador, in three conservation levels in each forest: low (degraded), medium (10–15 years of recovery) and high (well-conserved forest). All Hymenoptera families were classified into four functional groups: predators, herbivores, pollinators and parasitoids. A total of 32 hymenopteran families were collected, with parasitoids clearly dominating in the samples. Family assemblages were not statistically different, neither in abundance nor family richness. Assemblages were more similar between them in the high and medium areas than in low conservation areas, where assemblages were very variable and showed a higher functional diversity in two of the reserves. The low presence of pollinators may be due to the high humidity during the sampling and the sampling method. Although some results are promising for the restoring trajectory, especially for parasitoids, we should keep in mind that this is at family level, so it would be interesting to know if these patterns persist at lower taxonomic levels.

Neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease among them, set challenges to modern societies both in terms of premature deaths and resources spent on treatment of the diseases. At that, preventive care and early diagnostics in particular are potential directions towards higher economic efficiency of healthcare interventions in this area. Authors of this paper suggest a modification of the cost-utility approach to evaluate economic efficiency of an early diagnostics at the presymptomatic (prodromal) stage of PD, when its symptoms do not appear clinically yet. Such diagnostics, in combination with neuroprotective therapy for persons at high risk of PD, allows postponing its development until later years, and thereby ensuring an improvement in the quality of life of the population, as well as saving resources of the healthcare system and society as a whole. The authors rely on the diagnostic approach proposed by the research group headed by M. Ugryumov, which is currently at the stage of laboratory testing. Its implementation potentially leads to savings in both direct and indirect costs for PD treatment compared to the traditional approach, but increases testing costs, and also requires the development of new neuroprotective therapy for identified risk groups. The authors propose a modification of the cost-benefit assessment procedure to take into account the uncertainty associated with the lack of a final understanding of the scope and composition of the testing group at the preclinical stage. The condition for the economic efficiency of the preclinical diagnostic method in the developed procedure is the minimum permissible probability of detecting an increased risk of PD in the test group. To test their algorithm, the authors carry out calculations basing on the Russian data.

Introduction: The relevance of the issue of increasing stress resistance is due to a significant deterioration in the mental health of the population caused by the special conditions of the disease control and prevention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, the decisive role in the severity of clinico-physiological manifestations of maladjustment to stress is assigned to magnesium ions.

The aim of the work was to study the magnesium importance in the body coping mechanisms under stress for the pathogenetic substantiation of the magnesium correction in an unfavorable situation of disease control and prevention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods: The theoretical basis of this scientific and analytical review was an analysis of modern Russian and foreign literature data posted on the electronic portals MEDLINE, PubMed-NCBI, Scientific Electronic Library eLIBRARY.RU, Google Academy, and CyberLeninka.

Results and discussion: It was shown that the total magnesium level in the body plays the indicator role of the body functional reserves. Acute and chronic stresses significantly increase the magnesium consumption and cause a decrease in its body content. Magnesium deficiency is one of the main pathogenetic mechanisms of reducing stress resistance and adaptive body reserves. Arising during the COVID-19 pandemic, increased nervous and emotional tension, the lack of emotional comfort and balance can lead to the onset or deterioration of magnesium deficiency, which manifests itself in mental burnout and depletion of adaptive capacities. The inability to synthesize magnesium in the body necessitates including foodstuffs high in magnesium in the population diet during this period. The appointment of magnesium preparations is pathogenetically justified with moderate and severe magnesium deficiency. This therapy should take into account the major concomitant diseases, severity of magnesium deficiency, and a patient’s age.

Conclusion: magnesium correction, carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic, will contribute to increasing stress resistance, preventing mental diseases and improving the population’s life quality.
Planification stratégique d’une Unité d’accueil et de support aux familles d’enfants atteints d’handicap : analyse d’une démarche participative porteuse de solidarités

Published: December 2020

Adhérant à la nécessité de consolider son partenariat avec les familles, une institution sociale libanaise s’est proposée d’instaurer une nouvelle Unité d’accueil et de support aux familles des enfants atteints d’handicap pris en charge par deux de ses secteurs spécialisés. Tenant à fonder l’élaboration du plan stratégique de l’éventuelle structure sur l’implication profonde des familles, cette institution sollicite l’École libanaise de formation sociale (ELFS) de l’Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth comme établissement de formation et de recherche pour lui fournir le support scientifique nécessaire à l’exécution de cette démarche. Une étude des besoins suivie par une analyse stratégique donnant lieu au plan escompté a été effectuée sous la direction scientifique d’une enseignante-chercheure de l’ELFS. Le présent article restitue les stratégies méthodologiques privilégiées, s’insérant principalement dans une approche participative, et analyse l’expérience menée en dégageant différents types de solidarité relevant de trois ordres : lien famille-institution, lien intra-institutionnel et lien université-institution sociale.
« Ton visage me plaît pas et c’est quoi le problème ?! » Usage du Projet éducatif individualisé dans l’Aide à la jeunesse et problématisation de la relation : quels enjeux pour l’aide spécialisée ?
Authors: Dormont Thomas , Guissard Michel , Peto Danièle
Published: December 2020

L’Aide à la jeunesse en Belgique francophone fournit une aide dite spécialisée aux jeunes en difficulté. Son intervention commence par la reconnaissance d’un problème nécessitant l’appui de services spécialisés composés en grande majorité par des éducateurs. Si quelques catégories de problèmes continuent à être utilisées (comme la maltraitance, la négligence, etc.), ces grandes divisions perdent du terrain face à l’individualisation de la prise en charge. Pareille conception suppose un accompagnement individualisé, qui trouve sa principale source de légitimité dans la formulation de la problématique. Afin de s’assurer de l’effectuation d’une telle pratique dans les équipes, l’administration de l’Aide à la jeunesse implémente un outil méthodologique intitulé « Projet éducatif individualisé ». Ce dernier engage les professionnels à formaliser une problématique pour chaque jeune, à définir des objectifs concrets et enfin à évaluer son action. Par conséquent, la manière dont les équipes s’y prennent pour poser le problème devient un enjeu majeur pour l’aide spécialisée.

Published: December 2020

Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are used to extend life expectancy for patients with advanced heart failure. Approximately 102 hospitals nationwide have a VAD program, but the majority implant only a small number of devices each year. This low-volume and high-acuity patient population can create concerns for maintaining nursing knowledge skill levels. Nursing staff from a step-down telemetry floor in a large urban hospital completed an Individual Readiness Assessment Test to assess their knowledge and accuracy in the care of mechanical circulatory support patients using the Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique. The nurses were then assigned to small groups and worked as a team to complete the same test known as the Group Readiness Assessment Test. Study results suggest that team-based learning was effective in increasing knowledge of mechanical circulatory support.

Dynamic transitions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation with third-order dispersion
Authors: Li Kevin
Published: December 2020

The Swift-Hohenberg equation is ubiquitous in the study of bistable dynamics. In this paper, we study the dynamic transitions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation with a third-order dispersion term in one spacial dimension with a periodic boundary condition. As a control parameter crosses a critical value, the trivial stable equilibrium solution will lose its stability, and undergoes a dynamic transition to a new physical state, described by a local attractor. The main result of this paper is to fully characterize the type and detailed structure of the transition using dynamic transition theory [7]. In particular, employing techniques from center manifold theory, we reduce this infinite dimensional problem to a finite one since the space on which the exchange of stability occurs is finite dimensional. The problem then reduces to analysis of single or double Hopf bifurcations, and we completely classify the possible phase changes depending on the dispersion for every spacial period.
Revisiting of the BT-inverse of matrices
Authors: Jiang Wanlin ,   School of Mathematics and Statistics, Hubei Normal University, Huangshi, 435002, China, Zuo Kezheng
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we discuss different characteristics of the BT-inverse of a square matrix introduced by Baksalary and Trenkler [On a generalized core inverse, Appl. Math. Comput., 236 (2014), 450-457]. While the BT-inverse is defined by a expression, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix to be the BT-inverse. Then we give a canonical form of BT-inverse and investigate the relationships between BT-inverse and other generalized inverses by Core-EP decomposition. Some properties of BT-inverse concerned with some classes of special matrix are identified by Core-EP decomposition. Furthermore new representations of BT-inverse are given by the maximal classes of matrices.

In this article, we study the weighted Lane-Emden equation

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} {\rm div}_{G}\big(\omega_{1}(z)|\nabla_{G}u|^{p-2}\nabla_{G}u\big) = \omega_{2}(z)|u|^{q-1}u, \ z = (x, y)\in \mathbb{R}^{N} = \mathbb{R}^{N_{1}}\times\mathbb{R}^{N_{2}}, \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where $ N = N_{1}+N_{2}\geq2, $ $ p\geq2 $ and $ q > p-1 $, while $ \omega_{i}(z)\in L^{1}_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R}^{N})\setminus\{0\}(i = 1, 2) $ are nonnegative functions satisfying $ \omega_{1}(z)\leq C\|z\|_{G}^{\theta} $ and $ \omega_{2}(z)\geq C'\|z\|_{G}^{d} $ for large $ \|z\|_{G} $ with $ d > \theta-p. $ Here $ \alpha\geq0 $ and $ \|z\|_{G} = (|x|^{2(1+\alpha)}+|y|^{2})^{\frac{1}{2(1+\alpha)}}. $ $ \rm div_{G} $ (resp., $ \nabla_{G} $) is Grushin divergence (resp., Grushin gradient). We prove that stable weak solutions to the equation must be zero under various assumptions on $ d, \theta, p, q $ and $ N_{\alpha} = N_{1}+(1+\alpha)N_{2} $.
