The concept of agile governance or called government that is agile, agile or fast has started to be discussed recently. Agile Governance increasingly has a strategic value in the midst of the condition of the Indonesian state which has been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic since 2020. The highest spike in Covid-19 cases in Kampar Regency occurred in August 2021 since the establishment of Covid-19 as a pandemic on March 31 2020. The purpose of this research is to find out how Agile Governance is implemented in efforts to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic carried out by the Health Service Kampar Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method with an explanatory approach. Researchers conducted data analysis based on the Agile Governance concept of Shah and Stephens’s theory. The research was conducted at the Kampar District Health Office in 2021. The results of this study indicate that the Health Office has implemented Agile Governance in an effort to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic in accordance with the applicable technical guidelines and standard operating procedures, but public distrust of Covid-19 has become obstacles for the Health Office in handling and providing services to the community in the Kampar Regency area.
Knockdown of TRIM8 alleviates dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway
Authors: Ting Qiu  , Lv Yifei , Lu Niu  , Yu Zhang
Published: January 2023

Background: Although TRIpartite Motif containing 8 (TRIM8) gene plays an important role in a number of biological processes, such as inflammation, its function and mechanism in ulcer-ative colitis (UC) remain unknown.
Methods: The UC model was established by feeding mice with 3.5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The animals were divided into the following four groups: control group, DSS group, DSS+short hairpin (sh)-NC group, and DSS+sh-TRIM8 group. Changes in body weight and disease activity index (DAI) score of mice in all the groups were recorded for 7 days. The animals were executed at the end of the experiment, and the expression of TRIM8 in colon tissue was detected by polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assays. The length of colon was measured, and the histopathological changes in mice colon were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression of pro-inflammatory factors in mice serum and colonic tissue homogenate was detected by enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay. The expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway-related proteins in colonic tissues was detected by Western-blot analysis.
Results: TRIM8 was highly expressed in the colonic tissues of UC mice. Knockdown of TRIM8 improved DSS-induced weight loss, increased DAI score, shortened colon length, and alleviated colonic injury and inflammation in mice. Western-blot experiments showed that knockdown of TRIM8 inhibited DSS-induced phosphorylation of p65 and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha (IκBα) protein but increased IκBα expression.
Conclusion: Knockdown of TRIM8 inhibits UC injury and inflammatory response caused by DSS. This could be related to the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway by TRIM8 protein.

Scientific innovative factors of development of industry of the regions of Russia and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemics on them: strategic aspects
Authors: Wang Yushan
Published: January 2023

Saturation of the economic development with innovation makes it strategically sustainable and provides the opportunity for efficient long-term management of economic growth. The COVID pandemic has triggered the transformations of business models, the process of their digitalization and innovative changes. The article deals with the changes of indicators of scientific innovative development of Russia and its regions during the first year of pandemic (2020) in the context of general indicators of economic and industrial growth and implementation of strategic priorities of scientific innovative spatial and regional development of Russia, connected with support of sustainable innovation system development in the regions as well as in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The author points out that the pandemic has not become a crisis impulse for increasing the intensity of scientific studies but it has resulted in growing expenses on innovation in the regions – the largest scientific innovative centers of the country where the main potential of this area is concentrated. Reducing the number of publications during the pandemic is characteristic for Russia, which can be connected with decrease in the scientific activity in the country. At the same time in the USA and, even at a larger scale, in China, the intensity of scientific research has been growing. At the same time, the scientific potential of Russia is highly aggregated in the largest cities, primarily in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where the life standard is significantly higher than that of the regions. The share of the organizations of regional subordination directly involved in the problems of the regions is extremely small. The pandemic has reinforced the tendency of centralization of the resource support and the research and development activity, especially in Moscow. This has become a challenge for the implementation of the strategy of regional scientific innovative systems’ growth essential for successful spatial development of Russia.
Economic assessment of industrial development of the oil and gas region by return on assets of organizations and profitability of products
Authors: Beilin I. L.
Published: January 2023

On the basis of the analysis and modelling of the return on assets of regional organizations and the profitability of the goods, products, works and services sold by them the author of the article has developed a new methodological approach to interregional industrial interaction of oil and gas regions. The predominating production factors of oil and gas regions including the volume of the shipped own products, works and services completed on their own, and indexes of industrial production by the type of economic activity (“Mining” and “Manufacturing”) are chosen as the relevant parameters of the study. The structure of the volume of the shipped products (works, services) by type of economic activity “Mining” is represented by coal mining, oil and natural gas extraction, metal ore extraction, mining of other minerals and by providing corresponding services. As for the shipped goods and products, as well as works and services within the “Manufacturing” segment, the author chose coke and petroleum products; rubber and plastic products, chemicals and products, medicines and materials, other non-metallic mineral products, machinery and equipment, vehicles. A comprehensive clustering of oil and gas regions has been carried out according to the profitability of the assets of organizations, as well as the profitability of products, goods, works and services of the types of economic activity “Mining” and “Manufacturing”. As a result, the variants of industrial interregional integration formed may serve as the solution of the problem of low return on assets (and even negative in the case of the Orenburg region and the Samara region) due to the synergistic effects of reducing capital intensity and increasing the net financial result of the manufacturing organizations. It has been stated that the main direction for improving state programs in the management of innovative industrial development of oil and gas regions is indicative stimulation of return on assets of the manufacturing organizations.
Sequestration and use of carbon dioxide: the essence of technology and approaches to the classification of the projects
Authors: Cherepovitsyna A. A. , Dorozhkina I. P. , Kostyleva V. N.
Published: January 2023

Currently, increasing the mass of carbon dioxide emissions is regarded as the main factor of increasing the greenhouse effect that is considered by the scientists to be the cause of the global warming. The problem has stimulated the development and implementation of various options of decarbonization including the sequestration technology (CCS – capture and storage) and carbon dioxide utilization (CC(U)S technology – carbon capture, utilization and storage). The technologies are aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions by capturing the gas at the industrial premises (rarely from the atmosphere) and can be regarded as complementary and crucially essential for achieving carbon neutrality as they allow avoiding radical transformations of energy and industrial processes. The study is directed towards analyzing the world experience and the essence of CC(U)S initiatives to develop complex classification of sequestration projects and use of CO2 to systematize the existing knowledge and practical aspects on the subject. The authors suggest a variant of complex classification of the projects that involves grouping the features by basic, technological and organizational and economic characteristics and identifying different types of projects according to the suggested features. In order to test the classification the authors introduce a classification profile on the existing CC(U)S projects implemented in the USA, the UK and China. The findings can be used for planning the activities in the area of development of sequestration and carbon dioxide utilization technologies in Russia, for making decisions on these initiatives including those regarding financing and support of such projects at the government level.
Biohydrogen Production in Microbial Electrolysis Cell Operating on Designed Consortium of Denitrifying Bacteria
Authors: Ekadewi Putty , Arbianti Rita , Gomez Cristina , Utami Tania Surya
Published: January 2023

Research background. This study provides insight into the use of a designed microbial community to produce biohydrogen in simple, single-chamber microbial electrolysis cells (MECs). The ability of MECs to stably produce biohydrogen relies heavily on the setup and microorganisms working inside the system. Despite having the most straightforward configuration and effectively avoiding costly membranes, single-chamber MECs are prone to competing metabolic pathways. We present in this study one possible way of avoiding this problem using characteristically defined, designed microbial consortium. Here, we compare the performance of MECs inoculated with a designed consortium to MECs operating with a naturally occurring soil consortium.
Experimental approach. We adapted a cost-effective and simple single-chamber MEC design. The MEC was gastight, 100 mL in volume, and equipped with continuous monitoring for electrical output using a digital multimeter. Microorganisms were sourced from Indonesian environmental samples, either as denitrifying bacterial isolates grouped as a designed consortium or natural soil microbiome used in its entirety. The designed consortium consisted of five species from the Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter genera. The headspace gas profile was monitored periodically with a gas chromatograph. At the end of the culture, the composition of the natural soil consortium was characterized by next generation sequencing and the growth of the bacteria on the surface of the anodes by field emission scanning electron microscopy.
Results and conclusions. We found that MEC using a designed consortium presented a better H2 production profile, with the ability of the system to maintain headspace H2 concentration relatively stable for a long time after reaching stationary growth period. In contrast, MECs inoculated with soil microbiome exhibited a strong decline in headspace H2 profile within the same time frame.
Novelty and scientific contribution. This work utilizes a designed, denitrifying bacterial consortium isolated from Indonesian environmental samples that can survive in a nitrate-rich environment. Here we propose using a designed consortium as a biological approach to avoid methanogenesis in MECs, as a simple and environmentally friendly alternative to current chemical/physical methods. Our findings offer an alternative solution to avoid the problem of H2 loss in single-chamber MECs along with optimizing biohydrogen production through bioelectrochemical routes.
History, Literary Re-Historicization and the Aftermath of War in Chinua Achebe’s There Was a Country and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun
Authors: Ngwaba Ijeoma Ann
Published: January 2023

This article examines how Chinua Achebe’s memoir There Was a Country and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Half of a Yellow Sun, respectively, narrates and re-historicizes the Biafran War (1967-1970). More specifically, this article highlights the different ways in which each author questions the Nigerian Federal Government’s countenancing or active supports of ethnic rivalry and marginalization in relation to the Eastern part of the country which is the major cause of the war as stipulated by both authors. While Achebe’s book, his final one, is a memoir and Adichie’s is a novel, their views on this and other aspects of the war have much in common, and this connection is only one of the many between the two Igbo-born authors. The present discussion also establishes the connection between Achebe’s memoir on the Biafra war and Adichie’s literary re-historizing of the Nigerian nation and the Biafra War. Paramount in both Achebe’s and Adichie’s treatment of this war is the foregrounding and condemnation of the human brutality that led and defined the war. This paper posits that war is not necessary for any form of correction or peace and should not be used as a measure to effect changes in any society. It rather causes psychological trauma for those involved, and those who witnessed it are left with horrifying reminiscences which are derived from trauma. The paper concludes that these can be avoided and war should be discouraged at all cost.

Published: January 2023

This study aims at examining the effectiveness of motivational strategies in promoting the reading performance of Saudi female students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed. Two university EFL classes were randomly selected. One class, the experimental group, was taught reading through motivational strategies. Another class, the control group, had regular reading instruction. Results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the post-test in overall reading performance as well as in each reading skill after the implementation of the teaching strategy based on motivational strategies. It can be concluded that motivation is vital in learning EFL reading comprehension through making students positive and enthusiastic in their classrooms. Teaching motivational strategies should have its place in Saudi EFL reading classes. EFL teachers should devote sufficient time and make their efforts to exploit these strategies with their different types.
Online Collocation Dictionary in L2 Writing: How Learners Use and Perceive Its Effectiveness
Authors: Cao Dung Thi Phuong
Published: January 2023

This study examined how Vietnamese advanced language learners used and perceived the effectiveness of the Oxford online collocation dictionary as a supportive tool in their L2 writing. Eighty-one English major students were asked to do a writing task and were encouraged to use this dictionary to search for collocations that they want. Their use of the dictionary to look-up collocations while doing the writing was observed by using the recording sheets. Immediately after completing the writing, the participants were asked to do the questionnaires. Eight of the participants were then invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. The results of the recording sheets showed that learners approach the dictionary for help with collocations of adjective-noun and verb-noun grammatical patterns most frequently. They made very limited use of the dictionary to look-up collocations of noun-noun and adverb-adjective pattern. The results of the questionnaires and thematic analysis revealed that learners are very positive towards the use of the dictionary. However, non-plentiful content, lack of pronunciation and suggestions of look-up words are drawbacks and are expected to be improved.
Grammaticalization of Transfer Verbs in Mandarin Chinese
Authors: Yin Hui
Published: January 2023

In Mandarin Chinese, historical changes in serial verb constructions have played an important role in the development of grammaticalization. In traditional analyses, few studies have been conducted to investigate connections between the lexical use and grammatical use of a given item (Yin, 2004). The case/voice markers in Mandarin have not been systematically investigated. This study seeks to fill these gaps and systematically investigates grammaticalization of typical Mandarin case/voice markers. The results of the study show that typical case/voice markers in Mandarin have been derived from transfer verbs and that the grammaticalization of Mandarin transfer verbs is not totally random, but motivated. Transfer verbs typically reflect human interactions and manipulations with physical objects, and thus, they can be good candidates to be utilized to indicate interactive relations. It is argued that employing transfer verbs as case/voice markers is motivated by the concepts of motion and transitivity as well (Yin, 2004). The paper demonstrates that in grammaticalization the semantics of lexical items is bleached; however, traces of their original meanings are retained. The study indicates that grammaticalization is a matter of degree and that case/voice markers developed from Mandarin transfer verbs display a continuum along the path of grammaticalization.

Authors: Wakkai Hosanna Hussaini , Mahfoodh Omer Hassan Ali
Published: January 2023

Test of Orals is an aspect of English Language, a requisite subject for Nigerian secondary school students to pass at a credit level before gaining admission for university education. However, increasing failure in the performance of the Nigerian secondary students in the English Language has been attributed to the consistent poor performance in the aspect of Test of Orals. Consequently, this mixed-methods research examined the effect of the discussion method of teaching on the Nigerian secondary students’ performances in the Test of Orals. An intact class of 24 students were pretested, and then posttested after an intervention. Students’ performances in the pretest and posttest were quantitatively analysed via paired sample t-test. This was followed by collecting qualitative data from the tested students by interview on how they perceive the effect of the discussion method of teaching. While the quantitative result generally revealed that the discussion method of teaching was effective in improving the students’ performances in the ‘Test of Orals’, the qualitative result revealed that the intervention programme was effective as it made the English Language course interesting. Thus, it is recommended that discussion method of teaching can be used to help students improve their performances in ‘Test of Orals.

Authors: Kitila Fantahun , Ali Sherif , Bekele Ebissa
Published: January 2023

This study's major goal was to determine whether or not teaching writing using integrated skills enhances students' writing as compared to instruction that is not integrated. Two sections of grade eleven from Sekela secondary school were used as the experimental and control groups in the study. Students in Section C were given writing lessons that were integrated and assigned to the experiment group. While students in section D, which served as a comparison group, were ready to study the usual writing lessons and exercises found in the student textbook. The primary tools used to gather information for the study were written tests. The study employed a pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental approach, with 96 English students divided into an experimental group of 48 and a control group of 48. Two groups each received pre-and post-tests before and after the intervention. An independent t-test was employed to compare the data. The results of descriptive and inferential tests were examined in order to determine whether there was a quantitatively significant difference in writing performance between the two groups. The results of the study showed that students who received writing instruction in an integrated fashion outperformed those who received it in a traditional manner in terms of writing performance.

The first provides a general account of the linguistic profile of Algeria coupled with a historical context of the Berber language and Algerian Arabic. In order to develop a deeper understanding of the present issue, the second section is devoted to the Berber language planning, and the socio-political context of its recognition as the second official language alongside Arabic. In accordance with Hornberger’s (2006) Integrative Framework, the study provides a critical examination of the Berber language planning process, i.e., corpus and acquisition planning, and explores the challenges language planners are facing.
Phonological Interference of Indonesian Consonants Into Korean
Authors: Adinda Rurani , Lukman  , Said Ikhwan M. , Gusnawaty
Published: January 2023

Learning Korean as a foreign language requires accurate pronunciation. Korean language has 3 characteristics of consonants, namely basic consonants, fortic consonants, and aspirate consonants. This study aims to describe the phonological interference of consonants that occurs from Indonesian to Korean. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method to find out what phonological transfers are found when Indonesian speakers pronounce words with three types of consonants in Korean. The subjects of this study were 5 Indonesian speakers who studied Korean. The five subjects were given a short story containing words with various consonants to read, and their voices were recorded. Analysis of the data showed that there were differences in the pronunciation of some Korean and Indonesian consonants in the phonological transfer when Korean was spoken by Indonesian speakers. There are 3 weak affirmative consonants in Korean /ㅈ j /, strong affirmative /ㅉc'/ and aspirational affirmative /ㅊ t h /, while in Indonesian there are 2 affirmative consonants, namely voiceless consonants /c/ and affirmative consonants /j/. This causes interference in the pronunciation of Korean by Indonesians. This research leads to the conclusion that factors causing mispronunciation include the application of Indonesian pronunciation rules when pronouncing Korean, because the sound of Korean phonemes are equated with similar Indonesian phonemes, and the lack of student training.
Unawareness of Common Errors in English and Its Impact on Human vs. Machine Translation Into Arabic
Authors: Al-Badrany Yasir Y.
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the rate of unawareness of common errors in English and its impact on human vs. machine translation into Arabic. It analyzes the reaction of human and machine translators when encountering English sentences with common errors, and its impact on translation process. Translators are readers in the first place, they have to comprehend what they read in the SL in order to convey it in the TL. In order for the ST message to be correctly conveyed into the TL, detecting errors and correcting them before translating is a necessity. The study is conducted through presenting 40 SL texts and evaluating their 680 TL texts translated by 14 MA students of translation and 3 online machine translators. Results show that the rate of unawareness of common errors is 51% for human translators and 79% for machine translators.
A Cartographic Analysis of Subject Status in Root SV(O) and VS(O) Orders in Algerian Arabic
Authors: Bourzeg Meymouna , Yasin Ayman
Published: January 2023

This paper investigates word order derivation in root clauses in Algerian Arabic (AA) with a focus on preverbal and postverbal constituents. The data is collected from audio typed recordings of natural ongoing speeches of 40 Algerian informants. Four cartographic frameworks are applied: Rizzi’s (1997) Split-CP system, Frascarelli and Hinterhölzl’s (2007) topic typology, Kiss’s (1998) contrastive-information focus dichotomy and Belletti’s (2004, 2005) model of the low periphery. Empirical evidence shows that preverbal elements can have three readings: genuine subject reading, topic reading, or focus reading. Unlike Rizzi (1997) who assumes that topic is a unique category, and in line with Frascarelli and Hinterhölzl’s (2007), three kinds of topics are licensed in the AA left periphery: non-recursive aboutness topic, recursive familiar topics and non-recursive contrastive topic. AA left periphery hosts only contrastive focus, and informational focus occurs in lower positions. Empirical evidence also shows that AA manifest a low IP area containing low topic and low focus. Different arguments are used to support this view: the behavior of the copula ‘ka:na’, floating quantifier and the behavior of the exclusive particle ‘bark’.
Code-Mixing and Second Language Acquisition on Social Media by Digital Native Indonesian Children
Authors: Rustan Edhy , Ajiegoena Andi Muhammad
Published: January 2023

The aims of this study are to (1) explain the forms of mixed-use of L1 to L2 codes in social media posts, (2) explain the factors that cause the use of L1 to L2 mixed codes and (3) describe language mastery. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Data in code-mixing was obtained from secondary data, namely written posts with COVID-19 content on social media, Facebook and Twitter. A mixture of L1 and L2 codes in postings on social media includes words and phrases manifested in congruent insertion, change, and lexicalisation forms. The influencing factors are divided into (1) speaker factors, such as showing off, prestige, and language skills, and (2) linguistic factors, such as popular terms, topics, modes, speech partners, time and place/location. With the emergence of various terms related to COVID-19, the mastery of a second language for digital natives, in this case, English, is increasing. Although the use of code-mixing, there are some errors in writing, sentence structure, and cohesion, digital natives can master L2 through code-mixing, including accuracy of word writing, word selection, syntactic structure, cohesion, and coherence in the sentence.

Published: January 2023

This study assessed the effects of sprouting and fermentation on total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant property of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). Pearl millet and sorghum were subjected to the treatment of sprouting and fermentation for 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h. After each of the treatments, the samples were oven-dried at 60 oC for 24 h and milled into fine flour of 0.05 mm in size. The total phenolic content, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacities were quantified using standard methods. The results of the study revealed that sprouting significantly (p<0.05) increased the total phenolic, total flavonoid and antioxidant capacities of pearl millet and sorghum. However, sprouting time significantly (p<0.05) reduced the total phenolic content of pearl millet. A similar trend of increment was observed in fermentation where there was a significant (p<0.05) increase in the total phenolic, total flavonoid, reducing the power and antioxidant capacities of pearl millet and sorghum with an increase in fermentation time. Therefore, the results of this study revealed that the two bioprocesses (sprouting and fermentation) significantly increased the total phenolic, total flavonoid and antioxidant capacities of pearl millet and sorghum. However, pearl millet exhibited reduced TPC with an increase in sprouting time.

Markonimy jako operatory taksonomiczne w terminologii (chremat)onomastycznej
Authors: Gałkowski Artur
Published: January 2023

Both the general theory of proper names and the individual sub-disciplines of onomastics use terminology appropriate to their research objectives and methodology. The basic scientific terms in onomastics, starting with proper name/onym, can be regarded as taxonomic operators, which allow the ordering of onomastic facts. The need for appropriate research terminology is also met in one of the youngest branches of nomenclature, i.e. chrematonomastics. The set of taxonomic operators in the field of chrematonymy includes the term markonym ‘brand name’ identified with marketing chrematonym and confronted with other terminological concepts such as firmonym, logonym or ergonym and pragmatonym, and, finally, descriptively included trade name or trademark. The markonym is recognised as the universal taxonomic operator of business naming, referring to both company and product/service names. The content and scope of the markonym relates to the broad idea of a brand, remaining a linguistic structure that focuses interdisciplinary, especially communicative and marketing properties.
O používaní základných hydronomastických termínov a možnostiach ich zosúladenia
Authors: Hladký Juraj
Published: January 2023

The development of onomastic theory in national and international contexts brings new impulses and pressures on the existing terminological system, including the unequal use of specific terms and the relationships between them. In Slavic hydronomastics, both established national and international terms are used, and others are continually emerging, with some in competition with existing ones. In order for the terminological system to fulfil its tasks, the long-term goal should be to harmonize it in both national and international contexts. In this paper, we discuss the development and status of hydronomastic terminology in the Slavic context. We propose and justify possibilities for the functional elimination of hierarchical and definitional disproportions of the terms of marine and oceanic toponymy, namely oceanonym, pelagonym, talasonym, bationym. In Slavic onomastics, the names of inland water objects are divided into potamonyms, limnonyms and helonyms (formerly also baltonyms). The creation and use of synonymous terms to existing established terms (*paludonym to helonym) may be considered inappropriate. Only time will reveal the usefulness of other emerging hydronomastic terms (*krenonym, *glacionym, etc.) and the functionality of their inclusion in the terminological system. The term microhydronym as a type of microtoponym in some national onomastics covers the names of smaller standing and flowing waters (in Ukrainian onomastics, the term only refers to smaller standing waters), and it is used especially in East Slavic and partly also in South Slavic onomastics. However, such an understanding does not conflict with the above classification of hydronyms according to object types. The question remains whether the principles of creating an onomastic terminological system are current and if there is also a desire to harmonize onomastic terminology in the international context.
Dolnoserbske mjenja | Niedersorbische Namen – serwis internetowy poświęcony dolnołużyckim nazwom własnym: Popularyzacja wiedzy na temat języka mniejszościowego w dwujęzycznym środowisku
Authors: Szczepańska Joanna
Published: January 2023

In 2020, a decision was made at the Sorbian Institute to upgrade the dolnoserbski.de | niedersorbisch.de website with an additional section dedicated to the study of proper names in the Lower Sorbian language. Based on the former studies conducted at the Institute, the new section organises the onomastic material in a highly convenient, hypertextual form. Bearing in mind the multicultural context of the project, the Institute had to address several issues concerning, for example, the functional relationship between the Sorbian and German variants of a proper name, spelling standardisation (e.g. surnames), the lack of compatible word-formation processes, or a multilingual user interface. Additionally, the Institute intends to upgrade the resources of the section with exonyms and other types of onyms. However, due to the geopolitical conditions in Lusatia and the complicated nature of the relationship between the Lower Sorbian language with German and the Upper Sorbian language, this is a highly challenging task. Name research in the Lower Sorbian text corpus is also planned.
W sprawie pruskich nazw na Mazowszu (na marginesie artykułu Leszka Bednarczuka)
Authors: Kowalczyk-Heyman Elżbieta
Published: January 2023

This contribution discusses Mazovian water and place names which are considered by some toponomasticians to be of Prussian origin. Using several examples, it is shown that this conclusion was drawn on the basis of outdated literature on the subject and disregarding more recent publications, with the oldest attestations of names (Narew, Wkra, Puszów Las and Puzów Stok) were not included in the considerations, nor were attestations referring to other topographical objects (Miedzna) assigned to them. Other names with an evidently Baltic basis were omitted (e.g. the first element in the name Kiejstutów Bród). Some of the discussed names in terms of their structure are Polish names with Polish appellatives as their basis (Rapaty, Kolno), the bases of others are names included in the oldest European naming layer, which may have functioned in both Slavic and Baltic languages.

Bilgiye dayalı arıza teşhis yöntemleri, sırasıyla model tabanlı ve sinyal tabanlı teşhis yöntemlerinde gerekli olan kesin model ve sinyal kalıplarına ihtiyaç duymadıkları için daha fazla tercih edilir hale gelmiştir. Makine öğrenimi teknikleri, ham sinyallerden sağlık durumlarına bilgileri eşleyerek arıza teşhisinde dikkate değer sonuçlar sağlamaktadır. Ancak makine öğrenimi yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı diğer endüstriyel uygulamalarda olduğu gibi kötü niyetli saldırılara karşı zafiyetleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada erişime açık CWRU rulman sağlık durumu veri kümesindeki 10 farklı sağlık durumunu içeren titreşim sinyalleri 2B görüntülere çevrilmiş ve görüntülerin sınıflandırılması için kullanılan derin artık öğrenme (DRL) ağ modeline beyaz kutu çekişmeli saldırılarından Hızlı Gradyan İşareti Yöntemi (FGSM), Temel Yinelemeli Yöntem (BIM), İzdüşürülen Gradyan İniş (PGD) ve Carlini ve Wagner (CW) saldırıları uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan çekişmeli makine öğrenmesi saldırılarının etkisini incelemek için DRL modelinin dayanıklılığı analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre uygulanan çekişmeli saldırılar DRL modelini kandırarak yanlış sonuç üretmesine yol açmış ve rulman arıza teşhis sınıflandırma doğruluğunu düşürmüştür. 2B görüntülere oldukça küçük bir pertürbasyon eklenmesi sonucu %99.98 olan sınıflandırma doğruluğu FGSM, BIM, PGD, ve CW saldırı yöntemleri ile sırasıyla %68.38, %61.75, %61.88 ve %63.31 değerine düşmüştür. Ulaşılan sonuçlar kullanılan çekişmeli makine öğrenmesi saldırı yöntemlerinin rulman arıza teşhis sınıflandırma doğruluğunu düşürmesi için büyük potansiyele sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.

INTRODUCTION: On the basis of competent statistical materials updated in accordance with the All-Russian Classifier of Types of Economic Activity (ARCoToEA 2) and ICD-10, a retrospective analysis of occupational morbidity in different types of economic activity and professional cohorts of the industrial sector of the Saratov region in 20092019 was carried out by generally accepted methods.
AIM: This a comprehensive analysis of current trends and trends in the prevalence, dynamics and nosology of occupational morbidity of workers in the industrial sector in the context of types of economic activity on the example of the Saratov region.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The information base of the study was presented by statistical materials of Rosstat, the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Saratov Region and the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Saratov Region, updated by us in accordance with ARCoToEA 2 (version OK 029-2014). A retrospective epidemiological statistical analysis of occupational morbidity for the period from 2009 to 2019 was carried out.
RESULTS: During the analyzed period, the number of people employed in the industrial sector of the regions economy decreased by 17.5% from 380.3 (2009) to 313.7 (2019), while the level of primary occupational morbidity decreased by 2.7 times from 0.68 to 0.25 per 10,000 workers against the background of an increase in the share of workers in harmful working conditions in the extraction of minerals (+27.9 percentage points), in construction (+16.8 percentage points) and manufacturing industries (+11.5 percentage points). The main risk factors for occupational morbidity were physical effects (noise, general and local vibration), pollution of the respiratory zone with industrial aerosols, and the severity of the labor process. The nosological structure of the accumulated occupational morbidity was mainly represented by sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) 48.7%, vibration sickness (VS) 15.4%, radiculopathy 9.6% and chronic dusty non-obstructive bronchitis (CDNB) 7.7%. Workers in manufacturing industries were mainly identified by SHL (32.4%), VS (17.2%), CDNB (12.4%); transport workers SHL (77.2%), radiculopathy (10.9%), VS (7.9%); those employed in oil and gas production SHL (35.7%), VS (28.6%), radiculopathy (17.9%); in construction VS (22.2%), SHL (18.5%), radiculopathy (18.5%).
CONCLUSION: The results of the identification of deterministic nosologies of the occupational morbidity, characteristic of certain sectors of the economy and professional cohorts, should form associative diagnostic alertness during regulated medical examinations and serve as a scientific basis for the development of targeted regional programs to promote health in the workplace.
