Published: December 2020

1)Human perceptions of nature, once the domain of the social sciences, are now an important part of environmental research. However, the data and tools to tackle this research are lacking or are difficult to apply. 2)Here, we present a collection of text classifier models to identify text relevant to the broad topics of hunting and nature, describing whether opinions are pro- or against-hunting, or show interest, concern, or dislike of nature. The methods also include a biographical classification – describing whether the author of the text is a person, nature expert, nature organisation, or ‘Other’. The classifiers were developed using an extensive social media dataset, and are designed to support qualitative analysis of big data (especially from Twitter). 3)The classifiers accurately identified biographies, text related to hunting and nature, and the stance towards hunting and nature (weighted F-scores: 0.79 - 0.99; 1 indicates perfect accuracy). 4)These classifiers, alongside an array of other text processing and analysis functions, are presented in the form of an R package classecol. classecol also acts as a proof of concept that nature related text classifiers can be developed with high accuracy.
Metaphors with Implicit Negation in Modern English and Ukrainian: Сognitive and Linguodidactic Aspects
Authors: BAHAN Myroslava , VALIUKH Zoia , Muntian Oleksandr
Published: December 2020

This article focuses on the cross-linguistic cognitive study of English and Ukrainian metaphors with implicit negation. The paper aims to prove that some metaphors imply the meaning of negation in the dialogues and monologues and to identify the common and divergent parameters of the cognitive-figurative realization of negation in English and Ukrainian. The investigation is grounded on the methods of comparative analysis, conceptual analysis, contextual analysis, and analysis of the dictionary definitions. The study of communicative-pragmatic features of the use of metaphors reveals that they perform the objecting function in the media. Still, they differ from specialized grammatical means of negation in the emotional and associative background, dependence on the context, and vast opportunities of the interpretation. The obtained results indicate that in both languages, metaphors with the implicit negation are connected to the verbalization of the same nine basic concepts: UNTRUTH, INVALIDITY, FAILURE, INEFFICACIOUSACY, RELUCTANCE, UNCERTAINTY, USELESSNESS, INACTION, ABSENCE OF PROSPECT. The study found that often such metaphors are the result of transferring close or similar domains. The authors conclude that English and Ukrainian, despite the fundamental differences in the grammatical realization of the negation, are very similar in the ways of formation the metaphors with the negative meaning. The paper gives some methodological recommendations for a more effective study of the metaphors with implicit negation in the higher educational institutions.

Authors: Koknova Tetiana , Kharchenko Serhii , Bilyk Nadia , Sechka Svitlana
Published: December 2020

Ukrainian Universities today encourage the principles of competency-based education in higher education, but the study of literature generally seems to discourage this process in a more theoretical way. The research reported here is a part of a more extensive doctoral study that aims to examine the process of competency-based education of English as Second Language teachers in Ukraine. This paper seeks to answer the following questions: could one apply the principles of competency-based education to create an appropriate educational environment for prospective English as Second Language teachers; would it improve the way to design the programs for their professional training and advance the language teaching process in Ukrainian Universities? This article reports on an investigation associated with the implementation of a pedagogical experiment that proves the effectiveness of the specially modeled educational environment created to design the training programs for prospective English as second language teachers within competency-based education at Taras Shevchenko National University and Donbas State Pedagogical University. This paper contains the comparative analysis of two Philology Master students groups to discover whether the traditional educational environment or competency-based one produces a better educational effect on the language teaching process. This study employs a mixed-method resulting in qualitative and quantitative data. The paper concludes by presenting recommendations for Ukrainian Universities, which major in training prospective English as Second Language teachers. Moreover, future research related to applying this educational model for students in different grades is still a potential area to be studied further.
First Time Around: Local Conditions and Multi-dimensional Integration of Refugees
Authors: Aksoy Cevat Giray , Poutvaara Panu , Schikora Felicitas
Published: December 2020

We study the causal effect of local labor market conditions and attitudes towards immigrants at the time of arrival on refugees’ multi-dimensional integration outcomes (economic, linguistic, navigational, political, psychological, and social). Using a unique dataset on refugees, we leverage a centralized allocation policy in Germany where refugees were exogenously assigned to live in specific counties. We find that high initial local unemployment negatively affects refugees’ economic and social integration: they are less likely to be in education or employment and they earn less. We also show that favorable attitudes towards immigrants promote refugees’ economic and social integration. The results suggest that attitudes toward immigrants are as important as local unemployment rates in shaping refugees’ integration outcomes. Using a machine learning classifier algorithm, we find that our results are driven by older people and those with secondary or tertiary education. Our findings highlight the importance of both initial economic and social conditions for facilitating refugee integration, and have implications for the design of centralized allocation policies.
Mobilization and demobilization in a network political protest
Authors: Sokolov Alexander , Palagicheva Asya
Published: December 2020

The article considers the essence and approaches to understanding network political protest. Traditional forms of collective action are changing under the influence of information and communication technologies. The network paradigm focuses on the position of the individual in the social space, the degree of his involvement in the communication space, the ability to control and regulate the intensity of the information flow. Network structures are more flexible and adaptive, more in line with the new reality. Special and main principles of the network structure of political protest are revealed. The article also presents definitions of political mobilization and demobilization. These processes Express the rivalry of the conflicting parties-the state and society, where the support of the broad masses of the population is an important category. Based on the data of the monitoring study, the features of the development of civil protest activism and the use of mobilization technologies were identified. ICTs have a significant impact on their formation and transformation. The state, reacting to forms of real and virtual activity, formulates a counteraction strategy. It is expressed in the use of technologies for the demobilization of citizens, which are also undergoing changes in the era of digitalization

Authors: Putra Bayu Arsiadhi , Max Jonathan Irene Sartika Dewi , Vivian Yofi Irvan
Published: December 2020

Traditional music is an expression of hereditary culture that is owned by certain ethnic groups. The young Dayak Bahau generation is committed to preserving traditional music even though they have experienced modern life and live in big cities. However, conservation efforts are always carried out in monotonous ways, resulting in various obstacles that are beyond the control of this ethnic group. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out empowerment activities so that the maintenance and preservation of traditional music can be sustainable. An understanding of the dangers of traditional music extinction is needed, the factors causing extinction and maintenance strategies. This service provides training to the young Dayak Bahau generation in exploring challenges and opportunities for the sustainability of traditional music. Assistance is also carried out in revitalizing traditional arts that are threatened with extinction. This knowledge and skills make traditional music more preserved with an approach that emphasizes the decisions of traditional music owners.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Magnetic resonance morphologic features are widely used in characterising gliomas for predicting grades and thereby aiding in preoperative management planning. We aim to find out if Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) morphologic characters and quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements can predict genetic subtypes of high-grade gliomas.

Methods and Materials: Preoperative MRI examinations of histopathologically proven gliomas were retrospectively studied for qualitative tumor characteristics, including location, extent, cortical involvement, margin sharpness, cystic component, mineralization or hemorrhage, and contrast enhancement. Quantitative diffusion metrics were also assessed. Chi-square test, students t-test and multivariate regression analysis were used to evaluate the relationship between MRI features and Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH) mutational status.

Results: The final study population included 23 patients (sixteen males and seven females, mean age 40 years ± 14.4, age range 13–66 years). Nine tumors were IDH mutant and fourteen were IDH wild type. IDH wild-type tumors showed patchy to diffuse diffusion restriction and a lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) compared to IDH mutant types. T2/FLAIR high signal and maximum ADC values were associated with IDH mutational status. Contrast enhancement, hemorrhage and necrosis were significantly higher in IDH wild type gliomas. There was no statistical difference in the age, gender, tumor burden, location, site and edema between the IDH-mutant and wild-type tumors.

Conclusions: Magnetic resonance morphometric parameters that include T2/FLAIR signal character, contrast enhancement pattern, hemorrhage and necrosis and quantitative mean ADC /normalized ADC can support preoperatively the distinction of genetic subtypes of gliomas.

Commentary/Letter to the Editor of the Global Clinical Engineering Journal

Dear Editor,
It is clear that potential COVID pandemics will be recurring events and the use of PPE is basic and vital.  Everyone will need such simple devices to protect themselves and others.  The consequence of no PPE protection could be disastrous for global health! 
Stockpiling PPE is not for everyone.  Healthcare facilities in low resources countries have limited PPE supplies.  Furthermore, transportation and distribution across the country are problems, particularly in rural areas.  Home-made PPE is the most practical solution but this needs effective global efforts to educate and guide global populations. 
In the past 3 months, the IFMBE/CED, in collaboration with WHO and different professionals, has conducted an excellent series of webinars to inform the world about medical devices in combating the Covid-19 pandemic bringing invaluable information for global healthcare.  We wonder if IFMBE/CED would pioneer another important initiative to advocate, and together with WHO, to co-ordinate the resources from different organizations and individual professionals to compose a manual on home-made PPE’s with basic knowledge on cleaning and sterilization so that laypersons can make PPE to protect themselves and others.  A highly successful public health education publication “Where there is no doctors” [1] is an example.
Preventing SARS and other flu disease is a global problem currently relies mainly on isolated and scattered national solutions.  It is urgent that international organizations such as IFMBE and WHO provide trusted advice to countries worldwide to create a global protection-sensitive culture against pandemics.

Os medicamentos são de grande importância para a sociedade devido a melhora da qualidade de vida, porém o descarte incorreto destes tem prejudicado o meio ambiente em grande escala. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os conhecimentos sobre o descarte correto dos medicamentos, detectar os impactos no meio ambiente e identificar se farmácias e drogarias realizam a coleta de medicamentos da comunidade. A metodologia utilizada consistiu no levantamento bibliográfico e duas pesquisas de campo, buscando informações sociais através de pessoas residentes da cidade de São Paulo e Grande São Paulo e aplicação de questionários em farmácias e drogarias das mesmas regiões. Os resultados mostram que dos 490 entrevistados, 55% não possuíam o conhecimento sobre o descarte correto, e 265 pessoas realizavam o descarte em lixo doméstico totalizando 54,1%. A pesquisa realizada em 94 estabelecimentos revelou que 73,4% não realizam a coleta de medicamentos provenientes da população, a maioria devido ao alto custo. Podemos evidenciar que houve um aparentemente crescimento do conhecimento da população em relação a pesquisas feitas anteriormente sobre o descarte correto de medicamentos. Conclui-se que a conscientização e a participação da população e dos profissionais de saúde são imprescindíveis para minimizar os impactos acarretados devido ao descarte incorreto dos medicamentos, além de uma legislação mais rigorosa.

Application of the modifications of the radiocarbon method are presented that allowed accurate dating of archaeological sites of the 1st millennium AD. The use of wiggle-match dating on tree rings from the excavations of the settlement of Gnezdovo on the upper Dnieper made it possible to date the foundation of the settlement to the end of the 8th century AD, a century older than previously existing ideas. Identification in tree rings of the AD 775 solar proton event («Miyake event») made it possible to date the construction of the walls of the ancient Uigur complex Por-Bajin with an accuracy of up to a year, and in combination with dendrochronological data – up to the season: summer AD 777, over a quarter of century younger than the previously accepted date (AD 750). Together with the historical context, this helped to confirm the hypothesis that the building has a cult purpose rather than a fortification (a Manichean monastery).

In Russian archaeology radiocarbon dating is used in very rare cases when antiquities from historical periods are studied based on coin finds and historical sources which have their own historical chronology. However, this arrangement does not always work, as some graves do not contain items that can be dated to a narrow time span while a great number of graves often have no funerary offerings at all. The State Historical Museum in Moscow houses archaeological materials from the Phanagoria necropolis excavated in 1936. Phanagoria is is the largest city of the Classical period and the early medieval period (540 BC–10th century). The collection from the necropolis excavations has preserved organic carbon-containing finds from grave 21 (the wood served to make a coffin – juniper, and sea algae). These materials were selected for AMS-dating. The following results were obtained: wood: 342–420 calAD, sea algae – 132–241 calAD. Of particular interest is the impression of the coin of the Roman Emperor Valens (364–378) found in this grave. The AMS-date of the coffin wood fully confirms the traditional archaeological dating of the finds whereas the coin offers an opportunity to narrow down the timeline of the grave to several decades (375–420). The older age of sea algae is caused by a marine reservoir effect which must be taken into account during the verification of the radiocarbon age of the consumers the food intake of which probably included algae.

Published: December 2020

The article describes the life and work of Vladimir Klavdievich Arsen’ev in the context of the development of settler colonial project in the Far East. The article argues that Arsen’ev, a military officer and a self-taught geographer and ethnographer, shared in a political ecology, which combined “defense” of native peoples and the nature of the Russian Far East with racialized views of Chinese and Korean immigrants. This political ecology, in particular, led Arsen’ev to take part in military operations designed to cleanse remote parts of the Ussuri region of the Chinese and to develop administrative proposals on the governance of native peoples, which foreshadowed Soviet projects.

Rejowinangun Market which is located in the heart of Magelang City is one of the traditional markets that has historical attachment to the socio-economic development of the people of Magelang City. The inability of traditional markets to compete with modern markets is a problem that must be resolved immediately. One example of a problem that occurs in business management is the lack of use of online media to market goods in the market. Market schools for traders are implemented to provide solutions to these problems so as to improve the ability of traders in terms of business management and can market goods through online media, so that transactions between sellers and buyers can occur directly (in the market) and indirectly (online store) . Community empowerment through the Participatory Rural Apraissal (PRA) model is very effective in helping market traders improve competitiveness with modern markets. The results of this market school show that the implementation of business management for traders has a significant influence in increasing business profits, increasing market competitiveness by optimizing online stores for market traders 'products, and increasing the marketing mix of market traders' products.

Homogenization of a non-homogeneous heat conducting fluid
Authors: Feireisl Eduard , Lu Yong , Sun Yongzhong
Published: December 2020

We consider a non–homogeneous incompressible and heat conducting fluid confined to a 3D domain perforated by tiny holes. The ratio of the diameter of the holes and their mutual distance is critical, the former being equal to [Formula: see text], the latter proportional to ε, where ε is a small parameter. We identify the asymptotic limit for [Formula: see text], in which the momentum equation contains a friction term of Brinkman type determined uniquely by the viscosity and geometric properties of the perforation. Besides the inhomogeneity of the fluid, we allow the viscosity and the heat conductivity coefficient to depend on the temperature, where the latter is determined via the Fourier law with homogenized (oscillatory) heat conductivity coefficient that is different for the fluid and the solid holes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result in the critical case for the inhomogenous heat–conducting fluid.

The Laplacian on M is unitarily equivalent to a direct sum of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with compactly supported potentials on the half-line. We prove

Asymptotics of counting function of resonances at large radius. The rotation radius is uniquely determined by its eigenvalues and resonances. There exists an algorithm to recover the rotation radius from its eigenvalues and resonances.

The proof is based on some non-linear real analytic isomorphism between two Hilbert spaces.

BACKGROUND: Virtual reality training is commonly used for balance problems in neurological conditions with the use of visual and auditory biofeedback. The knowledge about the effective implementation of this training in chronic low back pain is lacking. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to find the radiological and biochemical effects of virtual reality training in football players with chronic low back pain. METHODS: A randomized, single-blinded controlled study was conducted on 36 participants. The first group received virtual reality training (VRT; n= 12), the second group received combined physical rehabilitation (CPR; n= 12), and the third group (control group; n= 12) received conventional training exercises for four weeks. Radiological (muscle cross-sectional area and muscle thickness) and biochemical (CRP, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6) values were measured at baseline and after four weeks. RESULTS: Four weeks following training, the VRT group showed more significant changes in the muscle cross-sectional area than the CPR and control groups (p⩽ 0.001). Biochemical measures such as CRP, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6 also showed significant improvement in the VRT group compared to the other two groups (p⩽ 0.001). CONCLUSION: The results show that virtual reality training has positive effects on the radiological and biochemical aspects in university football players with chronic low back pain.

OBJECTIVE:

the present work proposed to extract Locust Bean Gum (LBG) from Algerian carob fruits, evaluate physicochemical and rheological properties (solubility). It aimed also to develop different formulations of strawberry jams with a mixture of LBG and pectin in order to obtain a product with a high sensory acceptance.

METHODS:

the physicochemical characteristics of LBG were assessed. The impact of temperature on solubility was also studied. The physical and the sensory profile and acceptance of five Jams were evaluated.

RESULTS:

composition results revealed that LBG presented a high level of carbohydrate but low concentrations of fat and ash. The LBG was partially cold-water-soluble (∼62% at 25°C) and needed heating to reach a higher solubility value (∼89% at 80 °C). Overall, the sensorial acceptances decreased in jams J3 which was formulated with 100% pectin and commercial one (J5). The external preference map explained that most consumers were located to the right side of the map providing evidence that most samples appreciated were J4 and J2 (rate of 80–100%).

CONCLUSION:

In this investigation, the LBG was used successfully in the strawberry jam’s formulation.
Family functioning guidelines for the care of people with spina bifida
Authors: Kritikos Tessa K. , Holmbeck Grayson N.
Published: December 2020

Research supports a resilience-disruption model of family functioning in families with a child with spina bifida. Guidelines are warranted to both minimize disruption to the family system and maximize family resilience and adaptation to multiple spina bifida-related and normative stressors. This article discusses the spina bifida family functioning guidelines from the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida, and reviews evidence-based directions with the intention of helping individuals with spina bifida achieve optimal mental health throughout their lifespan. Guidelines address clinical questions pertaining to the impact of having a child with spina bifida on family functioning, resilience and vulnerability factors, parenting behaviors that may facilitate adaptive child outcomes, and appropriate interventions or approaches to promote family functioning. Gaps in the research and future directions are discussed.

Published: December 2020

While the neuropsychological profile for individuals with Spina Bifida (SB) can vary, often certain patterns of strengths and weaknesses are evident across the lifespan. Understanding variability related to neural structure, genetics, ethnicity, and the environment is key to understanding individual differences in outcomes and can be vital in planning interventions and tracking progress. This article outlines the SB Guideline for the Neuropsychological Care of People with Spina Bifida from the 2018 Spina Bifida Association’s Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida and acknowledges that further research in SB neurocognitive profiles is warranted.
Participation based intervention with acquired brain injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ahn Si-nae
Published: December 2020

Background:

Continued long-term rehabilitation programs with acquired brain injury are important for their participation in meaningful daily activities.

Objective:

This paper investigated the participation-based interventions on outcomes in patients with acquired brain injury.

Methods:

A systematic review and meta-analysis search for randomized control trials published between 1998 and 2019 using PubMed, CINAHL, and MEDLINE was performed. Nine studies were selected and analyzed for systematic review. Five studies analyzed the effectiveness of participation-based intervention using meta-analysis and assessed the level of evidence of qualitative studies.

Results:

A total of 843 publications were searched. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria and were of high quality. The effective score for improving participation following participation-based interventions in persons with acquired brain injury was 0.32 and significant in this study ( p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that, in persons with acquired brain injury, participation-based interventions are essential for community living.
Toward more user-centric data access solutions: Producing synthetic data of high analytical value by data synthesis1
Authors: Sallier Kenza
Published: December 2020

Under the Modernization programme Statistics Canada has recently undertaken, the Agency is to put forward data access solutions that present greater analytical value to Canadians while maintaining its core values of protecting confidentiality of respondents’ information. One avenue currently explored is Data Synthesis as a means of delivering synthetic data with high analytical value to users. At the time of writing, Statistics Canada has publicly released synthetic versions of two different datasets related to census, mortality and cancer information. In both cases, synthetic data were generated using the R package synthpop. This paper describes the use of Data Synthesis as a proof of concept for modernizing Statistics Canada’s data access solutions.
LiteRate: A Shiny R app for improving data literacy in Indonesia1

The longer a decision-maker has to wait for the statistics, the less useful they are likely to be. This statement is not only related to how fast the data is available, but also how fast the data can be understood. As the leading portal in presenting trusted data in Indonesia, the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) website provides complete data that covers various areas, subjects, and domains. However, the visualization of these data seems to be lagging. These data are presented in the form of tables and static graphs that are monotonous and the lack of interactivity discourages users from exploring the data more. To tackle this gap, we developed liteRate which is an interactive web-based visualization/exploration tool that is based on the Shiny R. LiteRate aims to improve the public’s ability to understand the online data of the BPS’ by utilizing web scraping and headless browsers to produce ready-to-visualize data frames. Effective visualization techniques will empower users to quickly gain insight, see patterns, correlation, outliers, and view statistics across topics and areas. LiteRate hopes to increase statistical literacy in Indonesia as BPS continues to generate statistics that leave no one behind.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the main causes of fatal income and disability in most developed countries. Disability due to IS is primarily caused by motor (paresis, ataxia), cognitive and emotional disorders. Post-stroke depression and dementia are associated not only with low compliance to rehabilitation measures and their low efficacy, but also with an increased risk of repeated episodes of acute brain and coronary ischemia, and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Correction of post-stroke disorders is a complex process; its effectiveness is ensured by timely detection of disorders, early treatment onset, and combined use of medications and non-medications. The article discusses methods to the treatment of patients who have experienced IS, receiving choline alfoscerate. The results of drug administration in both acute and longterm IS were analyzed. Improvement of motor, cognitive and emotional functions was noted. Good tolerability of the drug and the possibility of its simultaneous use with other drugs were emphasized. KEYWORDS: ischemic stroke, post-stroke depression, post-stroke cognitive impairment, hemiparesis, neurometabolic drugs, choline alfoscerate, treatment, rehabilitation.
