The FAITH Concept and Religious Discourse: Media Influence
Authors: Kozlova Elena Anatol’evna , Gremitskaya Mariya Vladimirovna
Published: January 2023

The paper examines the relationship between the mass media and religion, as well as the features of religious discourse and its basic concepts. The Russian religious media discourse is analysed in more detail, its main genres are currently sermon, solemn speech, lecture, interview, author’s programme and its main concept around which various national scripts are built is the FAITH concept. The aim of the study is to identify the characteristics of basic concepts, as well as the semantic load of the FAITH concept in various types of religious discourse, including media discourse. The scientific novelty of the study lies in considering in a systematic manner the FAITH concept in religious media discourse and identifying differences from its explication in other types of religious discourse (biblical, patristic), as well as in the mass national everyday consciousness. As a result, it has been proved that the FAITH concept (belief in the existence of God) in biblical and patristic discourses is a basic value, but it is presented as an axiom in contrast to the Russian religious media discourse. The lack of coalescence of the FAITH concept with the RELIGION concept in the Russian language consciousness has been revealed. The connotative semes of the FAITH concept are expressed in the Russian Orthodox media discourse through such oppositions as LOVE - HATE, FASTING - DIET, WISDOM - RATIONAL MIND etc.
Sentence Analysis as a Means of Training Students for Completing Grammatical and Punctuation Tasks of the All-Russian Test Work, the Basic State Examination and the Unified State Examination in the Russian Language

Published: January 2023

The research aims to substantiate the need for the systematic teaching of sentence analysis to schoolchildren, which is the main tool for completing grammatical and punctuation tasks in test works of different levels. The paper analyses and summarises tasks of various types involving sentence analysis that students have to complete when writing test and examination works. The research is novel in that it represents the first attempt to determine the primary role of sentence analysis in training students to complete grammatical and punctuation tasks within the framework of the All-Russian Test Work (VPR), the Basic State Examination (OGE) and the Unified State Examination (EGE) in the Russian language. In the school practice of teaching Russian, there is a noticeable gap between studying the curriculum material and training for examinations. This means that the requirements for the completion of examination and test works should be taken into account when planning the content aspects of the lessons. In this regard, the researchers consider sentence analysis not only as a result of knowledge summarisation in the field of grammar, but also as a source of formation of this knowledge. A systematic approach to analysing the tasks of the All-Russian Test Work, the Basic State Examination and the Unified State Examination in the Russian language will help the teacher to organise a systematic work on training students for the final tests and correlate the examination requirements with the requirements for studying the curriculum material. The research findings make it possible to elaborate methodological recommendations for teachers for working on sentence analysis in Russian language classes at school, contributing to better training of schoolchildren for passing examination tests.
Features of Storytelling in the Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop Role-Playing Game
Authors: Nefedova Olga Igorevna
Published: January 2023

The research aims to determine the features of storytelling of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game. The paper is novel in that it is the first to consider both storytelling and tabletop role-playing games through the lens of cognitive literary studies. Modern storytelling has many features of mythological-folklore communication along with the influence of written culture, which is reflected in the process of constructing a narrative in tabletop role-playing games. This process occurs simultaneously in several interconnected frames (game, narrative, social and dramatic) in the process of player communication. The players see themselves as a player, a player character and a person at the same time and interact in all the frames at once in their own way of describing and bringing the setting to life. Mythological-folklore and fantasy clichés are widely used in the game, but its uniqueness is maintained due to the very process of collaboration - prepared written text elements and oral improvisation are involved. From the viewpoint of the plot, the games are a series of quests with a non-linear chronology within a multiverse and a narrative emerges from a constant discussion of the rules, roles and boundaries of game reality. As a result, it has been proved that storytelling in the studied tabletop role-playing game is carried out through the creation of a blend of mental spaces and frames, where players experience a liminal state and transformation with the help of verbal interactive experience.
«Купи-Продай» and Other Deverbal Nicknames of the Dialects of the Nizhny Novgorod Oka-Volga-Sura Interfluve
Authors: Guznova Alena Vyacheslavovna
Published: January 2023

The aim of the research is to identify the features of deverbal nicknames functioning in the dialects of the Nizhny Novgorod Oka-Volga-Sura interfluve. The paper discusses the features of nicknames formed from verb forms, including phrases, combinations of words and sentences containing them. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that deverbal nicknames have not been sufficiently studied, there are no works devoted to their consideration, analysis and identification of their characteristic features. It is the first time that a comparison of deverbal nicknames with depredicative names has been given, the ratio of the characterising component of a nickname naming unit with names of states and names of properties has been determined. The research describes the metaphorical, metonymic and associative principles of naming for deverbal naming, the non-expanded and expanded ways of naming, determines the derivational base for each of them. Special attention is paid to the role of the imperative mood in nickname naming. The most presented types of naming are revealed, the ways of formation of deverbal nickname naming units are analysed. As a result, the features peculiar to deverbal nicknames in the dialects of the Nizhny Novgorod Oka-Volga-Sura interfluve have been identified, their characterising and instructive roles have been determined.
Focalisation of the Theme of Death in A. P. Chekhov’s Creative Work: “Late-Blooming Flowers” (1882), “The Death of a Government Clerk” (1883), “Gusev” (1890) and “Rothschild’s Violin” (1894)

The aim of the study is to determine the features of focalisation in A. P. Chekhov’s works of the 1880s-1890s devoted to the theme of death: “Late-Blooming Flowers” (1882), “The Death of a Government Clerk” (1883), “Gusev” (1890) and “Rothschild’s Violin” (1894). The paper is novel in that it is the first to carry out a systematic comparative analysis of Chekhov’s short stories of the second half of the 1880s-1890s devoted to the theme of death, as well as in the fact that the analysis was conducted taking into account focalisation issues, which is also being undertaken for the first time in relation to these works. As a result, the following has been proved: in all the short stories, it is shown that indifference, remoteness lead either to one’s own death or to the death of another person, which determined the importance of focalisation of the theme of death, the question of the “configuration of viewpoints” of the characters, the narrator, the author and finally the reader.

3D geometric moment invariants from the point of view of the classical invariant theory
Authors: Bedratyuk L. P. , Bedratyuk A. I.
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is to clear up the problem of the connection between the 3D geometric moments invariants and the invariant theory, considering a problem of describing of the 3D geometric moments invariants as a problem of the classical invariant theory.Using the remarkable fact that the complex groups $SO(3,\mathbb{C})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ are locally isomorphic, we reduced the problem of deriving 3D geometric moments invariants to the well-known problem of the classical invariant theory.

We give a precise statement of the 3D geometric invariant moments computation, intro\-ducing the notions of the algebras of simultaneous 3D geometric moment invariants, and prove that they are isomorphic to the algebras of joint $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$-invariants of several binary forms. To simplify the calculating of the invariants we proceed from an action of Lie group $SO(3,\mathbb{C})$ to equivalent action of the complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. The author hopes that the results will be useful to the researchers in thefields of image analysis and pattern recognition.
A domain free of the zeros of the partial theta function
Authors: Kostov V.
Published: January 2023

The partial theta function is the sum of the series \medskip\centerline{$\displaystyle\theta (q,x):=\sum\nolimits _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$,}\medskip\noi where $q$is a real or complex parameter ($|q|<1$). Its name is due to similaritieswith the formula for the Jacobi theta function$\Theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=-\infty}^{\infty}q^{j^2}x^j$. The function $\theta$ has been considered in Ramanujan's lost notebook. Itfinds applicationsin several domains, such as Ramanujan type$q$-series, the theory of (mock) modular forms, asymptotic analysis, statistical physics, combinatorics and most recently in the study of section-hyperbolic polynomials,i.~e. real polynomials with all coefficients positive,with all roots real negative and all whose sections (i.~e. truncations)are also real-rooted.For each $q$ fixed,$\theta$ is an entire function of order $0$ in the variable~$x$. When$q$ is real and $q\in (0,0.3092\ldots )$, $\theta (q,.)$ is a function of theLaguerre-P\'olyaclass $\mathcal{L-P}I$. More generally, for $q \in (0,1)$, the function $\theta (q,.)$ is the product of a realpolynomialwithout real zeros and a function of the class $\mathcal{L-P}I$. Thus it isan entire function withinfinitely-many negative, with no positive and with finitely-many complexconjugate zeros. The latter are known to belongto an explicitly defined compact domain containing $0$ andindependent of $q$ while the negative zeros tend to infinity as ageometric progression with ratio $1/q$. A similar result is true for$q\in (-1,0)$ when there are also infinitely-many positive zeros.We consider thequestion how close to the origin the zeros of the function $\theta$ can be.In the generalcase when $q$ is complex it is truethat their moduli are always larger than $1/2|q|$. We consider the case when $q$ is real and prove that for any $q\in (0,1)$,the function $\theta (q,.)$ has no zeros on the set $$\displaystyle \{x\in\mathbb{C}\colon |x|\leq 3\} \cap \{x\in\mathbb{C}\colon {\rm Re} x\leq 0\}\cap \{x\in\mathbb{C}\colon |{\rm Im} x|\leq 3/\sqrt{2}\}$$which containsthe closure left unit half-disk and is more than $7$ times larger than it.It is unlikely this result to hold true for the whole of the lefthalf-disk of radius~$3$. Similar domains do not exist for $q\in (0,1)$, Re$x\geq 0$, for$q\in (-1,0)$, Re$x\geq 0$ and for $q\in (-1,0)$, Re$x\leq 0$. We show alsothat for $q\in (0,1)$, the function $\theta (q,.)$ has no real zeros $\geq -5$ (but one can find zeros larger than $-7.51$).
On compact classes of solutions of Dirichlet problem in simply connected domains
Authors: Dovhopiatyi O. , Sevost'yanov E.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted tocompactness of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the Beltramiequation in some simply connected domain. In terms of prime ends, wehave proved corresponding results for the case when the maximaldilatations of these solutions satisfy certain integral constraints.The first section is devoted to a presentation of well-knowndefinitions that are necessary for the formulation of the mainresults. In particular, here we have given a definition of a primeend corresponding to N\"{a}kki's concept. The research tool that wasused to establish the main results is the method of moduli forfamilies of paths. In this regard, in the second section we studymappings that satisfy upper bounds for the distortion of themodulus, and in the third section, similar lower bounds. The mainresults of these two sections include the equicontinuity of thefamilies of mappings indicated above, which is obtained underintegral restrictions on those characteristics. The proof of themain theorem is done in the fourth section and is based on thewell-known Stoilow factorization theorem. According to this, an opendiscrete solution of the Dirichlet problem for the Beltrami equationis a composition of some homeomorphism and an analytic function. Inturn, the family of these homeomorphisms is equicontinuous(Section~2). At the same time, the equicontinuity of the family ofcorresponding analytic functions in composition with some(auxiliary) homeomorphisms reduces to using the Schwartz formula, aswell as the equicontinuity of the family of corresponding inversehomeomorphisms (Section~3).
IMPROVEMENTS AFTER PATIENT-SPECIFIC ADAPTIVE DYNAMIC CYCLING IN PARKINSON'S DISEASE

BACKGROUND

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by symptoms of bradykinesia, tremor, and muscle rigidity. Previous studies have shown that high cadence dynamic cycling promotes significant improvement in PD motor symptoms. This improvement is attributed to a higher entropy (variability) of cadence during dynamic cycling. However, it is not clear how entropy of cadence and level of effort can be utilized to develop individualized exercise prescriptions for individuals with PD, as well as how patient specific adaptive dynamic cycling impacts motor function and mobility in individuals with PD. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an individualized exercise paradigm by manipulating entropy of cadence and level of effort and also examine the effects on motor function and mobility in PD.

METHODS/DESIGN

11 individuals diagnosed with idiopathic PD were randomized into either the patient-specific adaptive dynamic cycling (PSADC) or an active control (AC) group. The dynamic cycle resistance settings were optimized for each individual in the PSADC group, while settings remained constant in the AC group. Each group completed 12 sessions over the course of 4 weeks. Motor function and mobility were measured at baseline and after 12 exercise sessions using the clinical and Kinesia One Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Motor III (UPDRS Motor III) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG). The UPDRS Motor III is the gold standard measurement of PD symptom severity. TUG is a mobility assessment that is highly correlated to overall functional mobility. Outcome measures were compared using repeated measures ANOVA, as well as paired samples and independent samples t-tests.

RESULTS

Individuals in the PSADC group saw significant improvements UPDRS Motor III score (Pre: 43.33, Post: 36.67; p=0.040), Kinesia One UPDRS Motor III score (Pre: 25.142, Post 23.833; p = 0.017), and TUG completion time (Pre: 12.37s, Post: 9.99s; p=0.036) from baseline to follow up. Individuals in the AC group did not significantly improve motor function (Pre: 28.60, Post: 29.60) or mobility (Pre: 11.23s, Post: 10.85s).

CONCLUSIONS

PSADC is associated with significant improvements in motor function and mobility in individuals with PD. Future studies will consider developing machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms to provide accurate and valid exercise prescriptions to be utilized in the clinical rehabilitation for individuals with PD.

Homo sapiens' birth and ProgRetrogProg evolution by DNA's extreme climate-induced rearrangement
Authors: ÇAKIR Şahin
Published: January 2023

Homo sapiens' birth time is somewhere between 2 million and 100 thousand years but still blurry. NEW PARADIGM: There is sufficient evidence that the glacial maximum ~140 ka largely wiped Pre-Sapiens out (incl. Pseudo-Neanderthals and Pseudo-Denisovans) but a small population macroevolutionary progressed into Sapiens in the Levant, and REAL moderns, REAL Neanderthals, and REAL Denisovans originated from this new population. In other words, the common ancestral population was NOT in Africa before 500 ka but in the Levant ~140 ka. In this case, it is invalid to classify pre-140 ka DNAs as Neanderthal or Denisovan using the chimp genome plus the 400 ka old genomes from Sima de los Huesos. In New Paradigm, post-Sapiens archaics are genomically modern, not archaic (incl. REAL Neanderthals, REAL Denisovans, Eyasi 1-like Africans but except the latest Erectus from Java). An unknown evolutionary mechanism caused both their appearance and disappearance: The relative increase and decrease of the negative (retrogressive) dominance in their DNA. If so, New Paradigm's prediction is correct: there is a never-ending struggle for dominance in DNA between the two opposing forces, and this seems to be the driving force of ProgRetrogProg evolution.

Are Nonhuman Animals Averse to Inequity? A Meta-Analysis [Pre-Print]
Authors: Ritov Oded , Völter Christoph , Raihani Nichola , Engelmann Jan
Published: January 2023

Inequity aversion, a negative response to receiving less (or more) than others, is a key building block of the human sense of fairness. While some theorize that inequity aversion is widespread across the animal kingdom (shared by species as diverse as crows, mice, dogs, chimpanzees and humans), others believe that it is an exclusively human evolutionary adaptation to the selective pressures of cooperation among nonkin. Essential to this theoretical debate is the empirical question of whether nonhuman animals are averse toward unequal distributions of resources. Over the past two decades, researchers have reported that species across a wide range of taxa object to unequal treatment. These results, however, have been questioned on both conceptual and empirical grounds. In the largest empirical investigation of inequity aversion in nonhuman animals conducted to date, we synthesize the data from 23 papers, covering 60,430 observations of 18 species. We find no evidence for inequity aversion in nonhuman animals. Alternative interpretations of the data and implications for the evolution of fairness are discussed.
Climate Worry: Associations with Functional Impairment, Pro-Environmental Behaviors and Perceived Need for Support
Authors: Lenhard Fabian , Fernández de la Cruz Lorena , Wahlund Tove , Andersson Erik , Ahlen Johan , Nerini Francesco Fuso , Akay Haluk , Mataix-Cols David
Published: January 2023

Background: A large proportion of individuals experience functional impairment in everyday life due to climate worry. However, the current understanding of this functional impairment is limited by the use of suboptimal measures. Furthermore, it is not known whether functional impairment due to climate worry affects pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) or whether individuals who experience such impairment perceive a need for support. The aims of the current study were 1) to extend previous research using an established measure of functional impairment (the Work and Social Adjustment Scale, WSAS), 2) to explore the associations between climate worry, functional impairment, and PEBs, and 3) to describe the characteristics and the perceived need for support of individuals with functional impairment due to climate worry.Methods: A cross-sectional survey targeting adult individuals who experience climate worry. Participants were recruited nationally in Sweden between September and October 2022. The survey included measures of climate worry severity, climate worry frequency, functional impairment, PEBs, depressive symptoms, sleep problems, and questions related to perceived need for support.Results: A total of 1221 adults (75% women, mean age 46.3 years) were included in the analyses. Multivariate structural equation modeling revealed that climate worry severity and frequency were significantly associated with PEBs (β=.34 and β=.45, respectively). Climate worry frequency was associated with functional impairment (β=.41). Functional impairment was only marginally associated with PEBs (β=.05). Approximately 40% of the sample (n=484) reported a high frequency and high severity of climate worry. Among these, one-third (n=153) scored above the cutoff for significant impairment on the WSAS. Individuals in this group (high severity and frequency of climate worry as well as significant functional impairment) were more likely to experience depressed mood and sleep problems and were more interested in receiving support, specifically concerning strategies for worry management and sustainable behavior change. Conclusions: Using an established measure of functional impairment, we found an association of climate worry with functional impairment and PEBs. However, impairment did not interfere with PEBs. Importantly, as there is a perceived need for support in individuals with impairment due to climate worry, interventions targeting this specific subgroup should be developed.

Published: January 2023

This paper aims to list the odonates fauna associated with rice fields and to study their behaviour in Sunwal, Central Nepal. Research was conducted from June to November 2019 in a rice field by establishing three study plots of (50×50) m2 each. A total of 33 odonata species (11 damselflies and 22 dragonflies) from six families were recorded. Six of them were sporadic, while the rest were common. Territorial behaviour of Odonates was observed and the reproductive behavior of 11 species was thoroughly investigated. The copulatory period varied between species, ranging from two seconds to 49 minutes. Females attempted to mate up to three times. The second and third mating were both brief. Homing behaviour was observed in single species - Orthetrum sabina. In this research, we noticed odonates to be predatory as well as prey species.
Floristic composition of bryophytes in disturbed habitats of two different elevations in Chandragiri Hill, central Nepal
Authors: Khati Sudeep , Pant Deepak Raj , Joshi Giri Prasad
Published: January 2023

Bryophytes are small, photosynthetic plants, capable of growing on variety of habitats, so are pioneer of ecological succession. In Nepal bryophytes have been studied floristically in different parts of the country, but the impact of disturbance on floristic composition was lacking. Therefore, present study aimed to determine floristic composition of bryophytes especially on disturbed habitat generated by recently established Cable Car facility in Chandragiri hill, Kathmandu. The study area, highly disturbed at the base (1550-1600 m asl) and top of the hill (2400-2450 m asl), were selected for the collection of bryophytes. Altogether, 17 species of bryophytes including 5 liverworts, 11 mosses and 1 hornwort were recorded from the disturbed habitats. Among the 5 classes, Bryopsida was the most dominant class followed by the class Marchantiopsida, Polytrichopsida, Jungermanniopsida and Anthocerotopsida. Impact of elevation on diversity of bryophytes was observed in both sites of disturbed habitats. The diversity of bryophyte was found higher (13 species) at the base of the hill as compared to the top (8 species). Among the 17 species of bryophytes, 5 taxa (Aerobryidium filamentosum, Anomobryum auratum, Atrichum undulatum var. subserratum, Chiloscyphus profundus and Plagiomnium ellipticum) that have not been enumerated from the study site so far were also documented.

Published: January 2023

Shortages of school counselors and other school mental health providers have presented ongoing concerns about meeting the mental health needs of students before, during, and following the COVID-19 global pandemic. During school closure due to COVID-19, school mental health professionals faced a variety of new challenges and stressors, presenting additional concerns that may be important to address for their recruitment and retention. To provide insight into the ways school principals can best support school-based mental health supports and services, this study aimed to understand the perspectives of school mental health professionals regarding principals’ leadership and support of positive workplace conditions during remote school operations due to COVID-19. Following a sequential mixed-methods design, this study included both quantitative and qualitative analyses, drawing on surveys completed by 74 school mental health professionals in a southeastern US state and in-depth interviews completed with a subsample of these professionals ( n = 14). Results of regression analyses suggested that positive perceptions of leadership and working conditions prior to school closures (measured retrospectively) were significantly associated with positive perceptions of leadership and conditions during remote/hybrid schooling. Results also suggested that principal support during remote/hybrid operations was positively associated with positive perceptions of working conditions. Findings from qualitative analyses indicated that many participants experienced supportive leadership practices from principals and cooperative team efforts among leaders and staff. Many participants also described challenges related to resources and service delivery. By positively cultivating and maintaining leadership and working conditions during school closures and other periods of stress and uncertainty, school leaders can help support the school professionals providing supports and services to some of our most vulnerable youth.

(Trans)disciplinaridade e campo acadêmico: apontamentos epistemológicos e pensamento complexo na fundamentação e institucionalização dos estudos comunicacionais
Authors: Krambeck Rafael Soares
Published: January 2023

Embora haja uma certa convergência e sobreposição de conteúdos e metodologias, quando buscamos caracterizar os estudos da Comunicação, ainda há uma certa sombra que nebula os limites e eixos do campo. Tal característica tem na origem e no desenvolvimento dos estudos uma grande influência visto os intensos fluxos e diálogos com áreas afins que, por vezes, embaralha tentativas disciplinares. No presente texto trago reflexões sobre o tema, para perceber criticamente a disciplinarização das ciências humanas e sociais e adotar o pensamento complexo enquanto paradigma histórico e epistemológico das Ciências da Comunicação. Faço isso a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica de autores que trazem diferentes perspectivas quanto à origem do campo (TÉTU, 2002; PROULX, 2014; BOURE, 2015; RÜDIGER, 2019) e, posteriormente, apresento alternativas possíveis (FERREIRA, 2004; LOPES, 2007; BRAGA, 2008; SODRÉ, 2013) para pensar o campo sem recair em armadilhas de buscar determinações definitivas e binárias e se adote uma visão mais sistêmica da constelação cooperativa e dialética que configura a área, considerando sua multiplicidade e complexidade.

Para que tais mudanças ocorram, é imprescindível a escrita de testes automáticos que validem se o comportamento anterior à alteração continua sendo plausível após. Visto isso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar a importância dos testes de unidade no desenvolvimento de software e como o princípio da inversão de controle e da injeção de dependência viabilizam a escrita dos cenários de testes e suas respectivas implementações. Para isso foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica, bem como, exemplos empíricos através do desenvolvimento de códigos pelo autor. Com isso, pode-se observar que a ausência da aplicação do princípio de inversão de dependência e injeção de dependência torna inviável a realização do teste de unidade além de atingir um alto acoplamento no código. Concluiu-se, portanto, que com a utilização de tais princípios é possível garantir um desenvolvimento livre de dependências, com boa legibilidade, alta qualidade, e coesão em seu processamento atual e futuro, tornando o teste de unidade uma prática factível no que tange o desenvolvimento de software.

Published: January 2023

A agricultura passou por muitas fases, do desenvolvimento urbano, até o desflorestamento, por meio do uso exacerbado de produtos químicos e atividades humanas, estas que trouxeram como principais consequências as ameaças contra biodiversidade, impactando de forma negativa especialmente quando falamos sobre a população de polinizadores, das quais passaram a não encontrar recursos suficientes para se alimentarem e aninharem. Sendo de grande importância ressaltar que a polinização é um processo natural e mecânico. Onde as abelhas são os agentes polinizadores essenciais e indispensáveis, à vista disso a preservação de sua espécie é de grande importância, fato este que não tem acontecido nos últimos tempos gerando grande preocupação ambiental. Com isso o objetivo deste estudo é evidenciar a importância das abelhas no processo de polinização, demonstrando as causas da morte desses insetos e seus impactos negativos para a agricultura. Este artigo traz uma revisão narrativa de literatura com consultas em artigos e documentos que trazem o tema deste estudo como foco. A literatura deixa claro que as abelhas indicam qualidade ambiental e a perda deste inseto representa eminente ameaça à saúde dos ecossistemas existentes. É preciso que estratégias sejam criadas para evitar que a perda das abelhas se torne uma ameaça.

In this work we study how the presence of social groups affects emergency evacuations. This investigation was carried out in the context of the Social Force Model (SFM). We added an attractive force to the SFM, which accounts for the affective feelings that the members of social groups share (colleagues, friends, couples, etc.). We calibrated this force using experimental data, in order to simulate emergency evacuations. We observe that the evacuation time is considerably worsened when attractive feelings are taken into account. Therefore, we conclude that this kind of collective behavior should be included in pedestrian dynamics models.

Background & Introduction: Dengue viral infection is a Global health problem. In the absence of vaccine and anti-viral, early diagnosis and management harbors great significant. Therefore the current systematic review was planned to identify the most accurate diagnostic modality for acute infection. Objective: To compare the efficacy of various lab diagnostic tests for confirming acute dengue viral infection against 04 serotypes. Methodology: This systematic review was carried out by following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Final sample size was 07 (N). However it was extracted by narrowing down 24 (n) studies by four steps i.e identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion criteria. Latest published researches form last five years were included by using various search engines e.g Pubmed, Pakmedinet, Cochrane data base, Google scholar and open google search. Results: Out of 07(N) studies, three (n=04) strongly supported that diagnostic efficacy was highest for RT – PCR followed by NS1 Ag ELISA and than IgM ELISA. One (n=01) study emphasized single-tag hybridization-printed array strip (STH-PAS), a most accurate rapid diagnostic test. In one more study rapid diagnostic test (RDTs) was correlated with the economical burden for surveillance system. Conclusion: It is concluded that diagnostic accuracy from highest to lowest is for RTPCR > NS1 ELISA>IgM ELISA

Worldwide, one in eight deaths is due to cancer. Projections based on the GLOBOCAN 2012 estimates predict a substantive increase new cancer cases per year by 2035 in developing countries if preventive measures are not widely applied. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of lives could be saved each year if countries made use of existing knowledge and the best cost-effective methods to prevent and treat cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to estimate a provisional budget against cancer in low and middle incomes countries, according the GNI-PPP, the cancer incidence and the number of populations. Economically country classification is determining with the Gross national income (GNI), per capita, Purchasing power parity (PPP), according the administrations of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Cancer incidence data presented are based on the most recent data available at IARC. However, population compares estimates from the US Bureau of the Census. The provisional budget is establishing among the guidelines developed by WHO for regional and national cancer control programs according to national economic development. Provisional budget against cancer is estimated to 10,291,503 (thousands of U.S $) for a population of 375,495,344 persons in Oceania.
