La ciencia se topa a veces con manifestaciones naturales de cábalas numéricas que ponen a prueba nuestro escepticismo intrínseco. La sucesión de Fibonacci es una de las más conocidas, pero hay otras no menos intrigantes como la que hoy nos ocupa, capaz de explicar el reparto desigual de elementos dentro de conjuntos biológicos y de otras índoles. Como en episodios anteriores, exploraremos algunas orillas del asunto con ayuda de R y así aprendemos un poco más de este lenguaje a la vez que nos maravillamos con las sospechosas coincidencias entre numerología y biología.
The problems of rationalization of diagnostic test of machines
Authors: Rzeźnik Czesław , Molińska Anna
Published: June 2023

The paper presents the method of rationalization of diagnostic test of machines, using the level of informative entropy about their technical state. According to the theory of information, the larger the differentiation of the probabilities of damage of individual parts of a machine, the smaller the informative entropy. In such a case we need less information from diagnostic tests to qualify the technical state of machine. This fact was used in differentiating the probabilities of damage of parts based on information about their exploitation. A suitable order of checks was proposed, which allows an essential decrease of the expenditures of diagnostic tests of machines.

Authors: Rzeźnik Czesław , Rybacki Piotr
Published: June 2023

Ważnym kryterium oceny maszyn rolniczych staje się zagrożenie, jakie stwarzają one dla środowiska po zakończeniu eksploatacji. Ogólnie akceptowanym sposobem zagospodarowania tych maszyn jest recykling, który minimalizuje ich negatywny wpływ na środowisko. O podatności maszyny na recykling należy myśleć już w procesie konstrukcji. Do wartościowania podatności na recykling stosowane są różne metody. W pracy wykonano ocenę podatności maszyn na recykling, korzystając z metody strukturalnej. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że ocena metodą strukturalną jest bardziej adekwatna w porównaniu z metodą masową.

Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVE

To compare malignancy rates of canine mammary gland tumors diagnosed incidentally and nonincidentally.

ANIMALS

96 female dogs from which mammary gland tumors were removed.

METHODS

Medical records of all female dogs from which mammary gland tumors were removed at a privately owned referral institution between 2018 and 2021 were reviewed. Data were obtained on signalment for each dog, histopathologic results for each tumor, and the primary reason for each dog’s presentation to the hospital. The proportion of malignant tumors was compared between dogs that were presented with nonincidental MGTs and dogs that were presented for a different primary condition and had incidental MGTs found on examination.

RESULTS

A total of 195 tumors were removed from the 96 dogs in this study. In dogs with incidental MGTs, 82 of 88 (93%) tumors were benign and 6 of 88 (7%) were malignant. In dogs with nonincidental MGTs, 75 of 107 (70%) tumors were benign and 32 of 107 (30%) were malignant. Nonincidental MGTs were significantly (OR, 5.83; 95% CI, 2.31 to 14.73; P = .001) more likely to be malignant compared with incidental MGTs. Dogs with nonincidental MGTs were 6.84 times as likely to have a malignant MGT removed compared with dogs with incidental MGTs (OR, 6.84; 95% CI, 2.47 to 18.94; P < .001). The likelihood of malignancy increased by 5% for each 1-kg increase in body weight (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.09; P = .013). Larger tumors were more likely to be malignant than smaller tumors (P = .001).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Most incidentally diagnosed MGTs are benign and allow for a good prognosis after excision. Small dogs and dogs with MGTs < 3 cm in diameter are the least likely to have a malignancy.
Antibiograms as one-health tools for antimicrobial stewardship: California’s experience with livestock antibiogram development
Authors: Lorenz Catherine , Silva Marissa , Frey Erin , Fritz Heather , Marshall Edith
Published: June 2023

Antibiograms are collections of antimicrobial susceptibility data for a particular bacterial organism and host species. Antibiograms are important tools for antimicrobial stewardship, as they may be used to guide empiric antimicrobial therapy and assess trends in antimicrobial resistance, maximizing treatment success and preserving the efficacy of currently available pharmaceuticals. Targeted use of antimicrobials is critically important to minimize the spread of antimicrobial resistance, which may be conveyed between animals and humans directly but may also be spread through the environment and ecological niches, such as soil, water, and wildlife reservoirs. To effectively utilize antibiograms as part of a comprehensive antimicrobial stewardship plan, veterinarians need to know data characteristics, including the source population, body site (when possible), and number of isolates included, in addition to the animal species and bacterial organisms for which each breakpoint was developed. Although widely used in human health systems, antibiograms are not often available in veterinary medicine. This paper describes antibiogram creation and use, discusses antibiogram development by US veterinary diagnostic laboratories, and shares California’s process to create and promote livestock antibiograms. The companion Currents in One Health article by Burbick et al, AJVR, September 2023, addresses the benefits and challenges associated with developing veterinary antibiograms.

Authors: Kadi Fatih , Akin Alper Tunga , Usta Ziya
Published: June 2023

Mass movements resulting from landslides cause significant losses in terms of lives and property. Periodic observations of these movements using geodetic measurement techniques help to prevent these losses. Network-RTK measurement technique produces real-time location with centimeter accuracy, based on phase observations using a network of reference stations. In this study, the paleo-landslide area in the Işıklar location of Trabzon province, Esiroğlu district, Turkey, was chosen as the application area. This study aims to measure the application area between 2019 and 2021, using the Network-RTK technique to determine the mass movements. Additionally, there is a rock block in an area with a steep slope. The possible movement of this rock block is a threat to infrastructure facilities, residential areas, agricultural areas, and life safety if the mass movement continues. Within this scope, the potential movement scenarios of the block were produced using RocPro3D software and UAV photogrammetry. Scenarios following an ongoing mass movements in the region triggering another mass movement are discussed. In the light of the results obtained, mass movements in the vertical direction of up to 28 cm were detected in the area where the rock block is located in the last 2 years. The periodic continuation of mass movements in the study area, declared a disaster-prone area, confirms the importance of the rock block in the region. In another phase of the study, possible movement scenarios of the rock block were examined using a rockfall analysis. In this context, with the help of an unmanned aerial vehicle, a digital elevation model and orthophoto map of the region where the rock block is likely to move was produced and a base map to be used in rockfall analysis was obtained. As a result of the rockfall analysis, maps showing the speed, energy, spread, possible impacts, and stopping points were produced. With the examination of these maps, it has been determined that residential areas, agricultural areas, and infrastructure facilities in the study area may be significantly damaged.
Influence of reference stations on the stability of the geodetic control network during deformation determination in the area of Kadzielnia in Kielce
Authors: Krawczyk Karol
Published: June 2023

Observations of land surface deformation are one of the important tasks of surveying, especially in landslide areas. They concern the determination in time of the magnitude of the deformation, on the basis of a stable reference system based on a geodetic control points. The whole measurement process can be divided into two parts. One part concerns the observation of reference points (geodetic control points) and the other the observation of the object itself. In the first, in addition to classical methods, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) techniques based on reference stations are used. In the second, common observation methods such as laser scanning or photogrammetric methods using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are used. These observations are carried out in a specific time period in relation to the aforementioned geodetic control points. An area such as Kadzielnia in Kielce is covered by a long-term observation programme. A key element is the survey of the constancy of the geodetic control points, which are located in the epicentre of the survey. The survey of the constancy of the control points at Kadzielnia was based on a static method using SmartNet stations. Taking into account the fact that reference stations are treated as error-free reference points and that they operate 24 hours a day, it was decided to study the variability of their position over a longer period of time, as well as to determine the influence on the geodetic control points and to observe the deformation of the object during the measurement cycles.

As the competition became intense and markets get globalized after 1990s, difficulties also increased created by delivering a product and a service to the correct place at the right time with the lowest cost. Enterprises understood that increasing the efficiency within an organization is not sufficient on its own against these increasing difficulties, instead, all supply chains should be competitive. Today, the supply chain became a preliminary condition for enterprises to remain competitive in the global race. Upon examining research performed regarding the supply chain, it is seen that a major part of the related literature focuses on generally the service industry and especially the manufacturing industry by making few references to the tourism industry. In this study which is based on the literature screening, the concept of the supply chain, its structures, and the benefits of creating supply chains moreover the concept of supply chains in the tourism industry, its structure and cooperation have been covered and the importance of supply chain in the tourism industry has been tried to be emphasized.

Children’s blogs are becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon in what could be seen as a contemporary space for communication over age boundaries. This article is an attempt to shed light on the importance of an intersectional approach in the analysis of childhood constructions in social media. On the basis of a fictional child blog made up by Plan Norway, as part of a controversial campaign against child marriage, this article focuses on age, but also, gender, sexuality and ethnicity as main social variables in the process of constructing “Another” Scandinavian child portrait. An exhibitional approach involving both text and visuality is used in an extended discussion of online constructions of childhood. Children’s blogs are presented as a “glocal” arena with huge social and political potential regarding one of today’s strongest discourses of childhood: the discourse of the competent but vulnerable child.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between preoperative myocardial perfusion data (obtained by SPECT) with transit time blood flow characteristics in left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) grafts in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Methods. The study group consisted of 57 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Intraoperative transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) of LIMA-LAD grafts were performed in all patients. All patients were also examined with preoperative stress and rest myocardial perfusion SPECT with 99m Tc-MIBI. Anastomotic patency was considered satisfactory with a normal waveform of blood flow, diastolic-dominant blood filling, and a mean flow value greater than 11.5 ml/min.

Results. All 57 patients with LIMA-LAD grafts were divided into two groups; those with graft satisfactory patency (n = 40) and those with unsatisfactory patency (n = 17) as determined by TTFM. We found differences among these groups in values of global summed rest score (20.7 ± 7.5 vs. 29.8 ± 4.0; p = 0.002), global total perfusion deficit (TPD) at rest (32.0 ± 11.4 vs. 43.0 ± 7.2; p = 0.01), and regional TPD at rest in the LAD territory (20.7 ± 7.5 vs. 29.8 ± 4.0; p = 0.002). Additionally, the flow characteristics were different in patients with and without surgical left ventricle reconstruction (Q (ml/min): 17 (11.5, 40.8) vs. 47 (25, 69.5), p = 0.013; PI: 3.9 (3.2, 7.4) vs. 2.4 (2.0, 3.6), p = 0.001; DF (%): 63.5 (44.5, 70.8) vs. 74 (66.0, 79.7), p = 0.019). TPD at rest was the best predictor of the LIMA-LAD graft satisfactory: area under curve = 0.771, cut-off value = 26.85 with 83.3% sensitivity and 78.1% specificity.

Conclusions. Preoperative myocardial perfusion characteristics are associated with blood flow in LIMA-LAD graft in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. TPD at rest (assessed globally and in the LAD region) as well as global SRS value are potential predictors of early graft failure.

Purpose. To evaluate a two-stage approach to surgical treatment of patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma based on micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) and phacoemulsification. Material and methods. The results of surgical treatment of 34 patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma with non-dispersed intraocular pressure (IOP) were analyzed. A safer sequential surgery was chosen: at the first stage, MP-TSCPC was performed, at the second – cataract phacoemulsification. Results. After MP-TSCPC, the hypotensive effect was achieved in all 34 patients: IOP at the moderate stage was 14.6±1,4 mm Hg, at the advanced stage – 15.8±2,2 mm Hg. 1 month after surgery. Carrying out the second stage – phacoemulsification of cataracts 2–4 weeks after MP-TSCPC allowed to avoid reactive hypertension and achieve high functional results. IOP from the first day was 13.8±1,0 mm Hg in patients with moderate stage and 14.9±3,1 mm Hg in patients with advanced stage and remained compensated for 3 months after surgery. Visual acuity 3 months after surgery was 0.85±0.05 in patients with moderate and 0.73±0.05 with advanced stage. Anti-inflammatory prevention based on 0.1% fluorometholone acetate solution, considering the minimal effect on the IOP of the operated eye, showed promising advantages over other glucocorticoids for patients with glaucoma and cataracts. Conclusion. Sequential surgery with MP-TSCPC at the first stage and following phacoemulsification (against the background of stabilized IOP) is characterized by high functional results and minimal risk of complications in patients with comorbid pathology. Anti-inflammatory prevention based on 0.1% fluorometholone acetate solution, considering the minimal effect on IOP of the operated eye, has promising advantages for patients with glaucoma and cataracts.

Purpose. To evaluate early and long-term functional and anatomic results of surgical treatment of lacrimal pathways obstruction (LPO) in children with endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) method using ultrasound bone tissue dissector for the formation of nasolacrimal anastomosis. Material and methods. Surgical treatment of recurrent dacryocystitis of newborn (DN) after repeated unsuccessful «blind»lacrimal pathways probing in children with nasolacrimal duct obstruction, including cases of congenital nasolacrimal duct atresia. Bone «window» of the nasolacrimal anastomosis during endoscopic EDCR was formed using SONOCA 185 piezoelectric ultrasound dissector. In total, 14 children, 8 girls and 6 boys aged from 3 to 11 years (mean, 6 years) were operated with follow-up period of 6 months. Results. It was found that in all the children an adequate nasolacrimal anastomosis was formed without significant bleeding episodes both intraoperatively and in the early post-op period. No cases of destruction of the medial wall of the lacrimal sac were marked. Functional success was achieved in 92.8% (13 of14 cases). In 7.2% (1 of 14cases) there was a postoperative granuloma of the mucous in the rhinostoma region which was a partial obstacle for tear flow. Conclusions. Controlled low temperature process of nasal bones ultrasound dissection during EDCR in children allows formation of an adequate bone «window»and, therefore, a valuable nasolacrimal anastomosis in narrow nasal passages, makes the surgical procedure much easier and quicker, enables better healing of soft tissues in a shorter period.

Relevance. Frontalis suspension is used in patients with severe upper eyelid ptosis. Despite the long history of the operation and multiple modifications, none of them gives a lifelong result. The use of suspensions sling materials that grow into tissue increases the surgical trauma during their removal if correction is necessary or recurrence of ptosis. Thus, the task is to choose a method of frontalis suspension, that would be easy to perform have an excellent result. Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness, execution simplicity and reliability of the frontalis suspension using the «sliding eight» technique with polypropylene suture in patients with severe upper eyelid ptosis. Material and methods. A retrospective study of 84 patients (110 eyelids) with severe ptosis of upper eyelid. A frontalis suspension surgery for removing upper eyelid with the use of 4/0 polypropylene suture was performed in he all patients. The threads were passed into the thickness of the eyelids and brows through previously made skins incisions. The patients were divided into 3 groups: in the first group (25 patients) we used polypropylene frontalis suspension with two needles of the pentagon suspension designs, in the second group (28 patients) we used two polypropylene sutures in the form of two rectangles, in the third group (31 patients) we used the «sliding eight» technique. Results. In the first group, in 5 cases there was a deformation of the upper eyelid contour, in 2 cases a recurrence of ptosis was diagnosed. In the second group, the deformation of the upper eyelid contour was in 4 cases, and a recurrence of ptosis also developed in 2 patients. In the third group, we did not notice any deformation of the upper eyelid contour and palpebral folds. In two cases, recurrent ptosis was diagnosed. The operation time in the first group of patients was 30.21±5.048 min, in the second group – 32.97±3.68 min, in the third – 26.5±3.03 min. The duration of the operation was statistically significantly different between groups 1 and 3 and groups 2 and 3. Conclusion. Surgical treatment of severe ptosis of upper eyelid using the «sliding eight» technique has shown its effectiveness, ease of execution and reliability. This elegant technique minimizes postoperative complications in the form of asymmetry in the position of the upper eyelid, is easy to perform, leaves virtually no scarring, and can be repeated without significant surgical trauma.

Purpose. To analyze the literature on the main aspects of etiology, pathogenesis of secondary glaucoma in tumor diseases of visual organs. Material and methods. PubMed, Scopus and eLIBRARY databases for the period up to 2022 were used for article selection, and the following keywords were used in the mesh: secondary glaucoma, tumor, neovascularization, pigment dispersion (and the same phrases in Russian). Results. The literature review presents various pathological mechanisms of developing secondary glaucoma. The reasons of decreased outflow of intraocular fluid of drainage and embedded (uveoscleral) pathways, lead to the increase of intraocular pressure in neoplastic glaucoma and depend on the type of eye tumor, its localization and size. This determines the necessity for a differentiated approach to the treatment of patients with secondary glaucoma and the development of pathogenetically oriented methods of treatment. Conclusion. Almost all of the intraocular tumors can potentially lead to increase of intraocular pressure. The pathomechanisms of neoplastic glaucoma are very diverse, but the leading ones are blocking of the anterior chamber angle drainage zone by tumor, neovascularization of the anterior chamber angle structures and anterior iris-lens diaphragm displacement. In all cases, the increase in intraocular pressure is associated with the violation of aqueous humor outflow through the main drainage paths of the eye. Currently, secondary glaucoma is not given enough attention, but this problem is extremely relevant in ophthalmology. Key words: secondary glaucoma, tumor, neovascular, pigment dispersion

Published: June 2023

Point-of-care tests play an important role in serological diagnostics of infectious diseases and post-vaccination immunity monitoring, including COVID-19. Currently, lateral flow tests dominate in this area and show good analytical performance. However, studies to improve the effectiveness of such tests remain important. In comparison with lateral flow tests, vertical flow immunoassays allow for a reduction in assay duration and the influence of the hook effect. Additionally, the use of carbon black nanoparticles (CNP) as a color label can provide a lower detection limit (LOD) compared to conventional colloidal gold. Therefore, we have developed a vertical flow immunoassay for the detection of IgG against SARS-CoV-2 Spike-protein in human serum samples by applying a conjugate of CNP with anti-human IgG mouse monoclonal antibodies (CNP@MAb). The vertical flow assay device consists of a plastic cassette with a hole on its top containing a nitrocellulose membrane coated with Spike-protein and an absorbent pad. The serum sample, washing buffer, and CNP@MAb flow vertically through the nitrocellulose membrane and absorbent pads, reducing the assay time and simplifying the procedure. In positive samples, the interaction of CNP@MAb with anti-spike antibodies leads to the appearance of black spots, which can be visually detected. The developed method allows for rapid visual detection (5-7 minutes) of IgG vs Spike-protein with a LOD of 7.81 BAU/mL. It has been shown that an untrained operator can perform the assay and visually evaluate its results. Thus, the presented assay can be used in the further development of test systems for the serological diagnostics of COVID-19 or post-vaccination immunity monitoring.
Dual Photosensitizer Cycles Working Synergistically in a C(sp)-C(sp3) Cross-Coupling Reaction

Published: June 2023

To assess the value and reactivity of new photocatalysts (PCs), their performance should be evaluated in one or more established reactions and benchmarked against the performance using known PCs. Here, we evaluated our recently developed PC, pDTCz-DPmS, in a C(sp)-C(sp3) cross-coupling reaction that had been documented in the literature. Previous findings indicated this reaction could not proceed in the absence of PC; however, under our conditions this was not the case. Without PC, a moderate product yield was obtained, while this yield increased significantly upon addition of pDTCz-DPmS. UV-Vis absorption studies indicated that the Hantzsch ester (HE) additive was acting as a competitive absorber of the light from the excitation source, and quenching studies confirmed that the HE was quenched by the radical precursor, N-(acyloxy)phthalimide. Mechanistic investigations established that two parallel photosensitization pathways were in operation; a reductive quenching photocatalytic pathway (using pDTCz-DPmS) and a sacrificial photoreductant pathway (employing HE). These pathways work synergistically to enhance the yield of target product.

Они охарактеризованы ИК-спектрами, данными термогравиметрического и элементного анализа, данными порошковой рентгеновской дифракции, также для них записаны спектры люминесценции.
Reorienting the Gaze: Monstrous Bodies in Remediations of Frankenstein
Authors:   Universidad de Salamanca, Borham-Puyal Miriam
Published: June 2023

Visual adaptations of the Frankenstein myth highlight the role ocularcentrism and scopic power play. By engaging with the concept of the gaze, this paper analyzes remediations of Mary Shelley’s masterpiece and discusses how visual narratives frame potentially monstrous bodies in order to assimilate or question traditional privileged visions and their construction of otherness, as well as to (re) orient spectators towards recognition of or detachment from the onscreen monster. It will address particularly relevant examples: Edison’s Frankenstein, the YouTube series Frankenstein M.D., Whale’s and Branagh’s iconic remediations, as well as the less known Murders of the Rue Morgue and Frankenhooker. Ultimately, this work will vindicate the role of remediations as an arena within which contemporary imaginaries regarding otherness and who holds the visual and narrative power are either legitimized or challenged.
Science Fiction Re-Visioned: Posthuman Gothic in Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams
Authors:   Universidad Católica de Valencia San Vicente Mártir, Mitchell Paul
Published: June 2023

In this essay, I analyse two episodes from the recent television series, Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams. I contend that, by adapting Philip K. Dick’s short stories from the 1950s for the screen, the creators of “Impossible Planet” and “The Commuter” offer an important new perspective from which to appreciate the value of his early fiction, which is too often dismissed by critics as juvenilia. Moreover, by re-visioning Dick’s work as posthuman Gothic narratives, the episodes refract long-standing Gothic anxieties about alterity and (post)human existence through a lens that is more often associated with science fiction. This hybridization is instrumental to Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams’ interrogation of the paradigmatic binaries between life/death, interiority/exteriority and reality/virtuality. In my analysis, I use Rosi Braidotti’s theory of posthuman death, as well as Roger Luckhurst’s concept of Weird zones, to illuminate how Electric Dreams explores some of the existential issues that arise from human-technological imbrication.
What’s in a voice? Quantifying the Narrating Instance in Rachel Kushner’s The Mars Room
Authors:   Università di Verona, Demichelis Serena
Published: June 2023

This paper aims at reconsidering aspects raised by criticism of Rachel Kushner’s The Mars Room (2018). While almost universally praised for its contents, the novel has been met with a more diverse response as far as its stylistic and narrative structures are concerned. By adopting a double methodology, grounded in traditional close reading and quantitative tools derived from corpus stylistics, this analysis addresses the issue of voice and perspective in Kushner’s novel in order to show how ultimately traditional their use is. These findings thus clash with previous views on The Mars Room, and they confirm the more aprioristically identifiable impact certain narratological features (such as focalization) tend to have on style when compared to broader notions like that of voice, which intrinsically involves a broader ‘field of action’ and is thus more problematic when it comes to quantification.
«Denglisch» as a Product of Globalized “Hybridization” of German
Authors: Mizin Kostiantyn , Kolesnyk Oleksandr
Published: June 2023

This article addresses the phenomenon of Denglisch (namely English borrowings in present-day German) as a systemic "hybrid" factor in the development of the modern literary German language. Denglisch is believed to reflect the general tendency in the neology of the modern languages as well as dynamic mutations in their normative structures, impacted by globalized phenomena and processes of technological, cultural, ecological, linguistic and communicative nature. Denglisch demonstrates, on the one hand, the open character of a language system capable of modifying/updating itself. On the other hand, intensive penetration of English language signs into the German language systems causes "hybridization" of the latter. Intensive transformations observed within a relatively short period are understood as systemic mutations, mostly determined by the system’s structural and functional auto-optimization. Optimization driven by the principles of open systems’ saving energy and resources unfolds as reduction of systems’ basic surface and deep structures. Furthermore, intensive use of the optimized English verbal constructs, incorporated into the systems of various languages, German in particular, lead to the simplification of cognitive procedures and the gradual unification of linguistic cultures. Therefore, the English language may eventually turn into a planetary "common speech", while the national specific features of the German language are most likely to undergo further reduction.
EU ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION: MITIGATION OF DIRECTIVE ILLOCUTIONARY FORCE
Authors: Сніцар Валентина
Published: June 2023

This article discusses the illocutionary underpinning of varying degrees of legal force of an international document, derived from the conflict between its genre and institutional nature as an act of hard law and the sphere of environmental relations associated with soft law. The purpose of the article is to identify the types of hedging and mitigation of directive speech acts in the text of binding international law, and their impact on the degree of legal force of the document. Despite the predominance of directive speech acts that correspond to the obligative deontic modality of the document in accordance with the genre and institutional strategy of mandatory prescriptions, most of the acts are presented in indirect, hedged and mitigated versions with varying degrees of deintensification of the directive illocutionary force. The mitigation of coercion contributes to the discursive strategy of consensus and solidarity in such a sensitive area of international law as environmental legislation. The study revealed that the weakening of the intensity of directive illocutionary force is achieved by employing a number of mitigating and structural devices. The unconditional validity of legal force is reduced through hedging of explicit directives by introducing the parenthetical constructions in the propositional part of the act to refer to the circumstances, i.e. to the varying interests and needs of the states that can be taken into account during the implementation of the document. In addition to hedging, mitigation of explicit directive acts is achieved through bushes – the lexemes with the semes denoting an intention to act or a deliberation process instead of actions themselves that blur the propositional or denotative scope of statements, thus influencing the categoricity of the legal norm and, indirectly, its level of obligatoriness. The next type of directive action modifications affecting the mitigation of the directive illocutionary force is achieved through structural transformations of the directive act, whereby the designation of the states as subjects of the directive action is omitted and the position of the phrasal subject is occupied by the nomination of an object or a prescription purpose in combination with a binding verb. As a result, the utterance loses its performative-illocutionary part, which significantly affects the decrease in the degree of strength of the directive illocutionary force.
Integrating Agile Software Development Practice in a Classroom Setting
Authors: J Kampa Anthony , Bakke Christine
Published: June 2023

Aim/Purpose .
This paper explores how best to implement Agile style courses into university curriculum. It is a starting point for teachers who are unsure how to structure their classes in an Agile way.

Background.
This paper explores the researcher’s experiences with Agile in the classroom, outside the classroom and in a professional setting. Recommendations are made on how to best introduce students to Agile concepts and prepare them for their careers.

Methodology.
This paper is an exploratory case study in determining whether or not students are properly equipped for their careers. Information was gathered through a qualitative interview administered virtually. The sample is taken from students who are recent graduates from public universities in the Midwest.

Contribution.
This study provides tangible and practical suggestions to best utilize Agile methodologies in an academic setting.

Findings.
A project-based learning class taught using the agile methodology would provide a beneficial and flexible class for students no matter where their careers take them. This style of class can be offered to any level of undergraduate student but more advanced students will likely get more out of it. Advanced students should be encouraged to work across disciplines to foster communication skills and provide valuable experience working with non-developers.

Recommendations for Practitioners.
Agile is not a silver bullet. Not all classes will be a good fit for this style of teaching. Practitioners should consider a blend of classes with different teaching styles.

Recommendations for Researchers.
Researchers are encouraged to explore different methodologies for including Agile development into a classroom environment.

Impact on Society.
This study will help to better prepare the next generation of software developers for eventual careers.

Future Research.
Practitioners and researchers can expand on this study by exploring a multi-year study following students who had Agile curriculum and students who received traditional class methods as they graduate and join the workforce. Researchers can explore other methods of implementing Agile in the classroom to further refine suggestions provided in this paper.
