“Fact is everybody’s truth; Fiction is nobody’s truth; Myth is somebody’s truth.” The present paper is about myths and its subsistence till now. Myths have fed the imaginations and souls of humans for thousands of years. It has shown us fascinating heritage of gods, heroes, epic adventures, spooky stories and things that would make an individual question about science. In this article, few concepts have been explored such as, ‘myths- its origin ,the actual account in history, its major role in today’s society, speculation of urban myths and its popularity, famous mythologies, and all its impact on the present society.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for COVID-19 Disease.
Authors: Stricker Raphael B. , Fesler Melissa
Published: May 2020

As we approach June 2020, more than five million people worldwide have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and more than 300,000 have died of COVID-19 disease. International economies remain at a standstill, and social isolation based on palpable fear of death remains the order of the day. The United States and other countries are moving toward resuming work activities and social interaction to boost economic recovery. While this makes financial sense, from a medical perspective our population may suffer severe losses in the absence of a viable prophylaxis strategy for SARS-CoV-2. Herein we present a plan to address this problem.

AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE OF A CITY: A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY FOR ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT
Authors: Dulcie J. Safrin Rex , Suhitha Jala
Published: May 2020

Sustainability has been accelerating around the globe due to the urbantransformation for economic advancement. Areas of urban development, be it thetransition from rural to urban or the land uses at urban/rural edge, require bettersustainable designing from both urban and rural perspective to shape, manage andpreserve the ecosystems people depend on.Although the enhancement of architectural quality has been traditionallyconsidered for ages, still a number of urban governments and political elites begin toacknowledge the link between sustainability and economy. One needs to recognizethat an improved development can contribute to local economic regeneration. A reimagined attempt towards it can attract investment and act as a catalyst for economicrejuvenation.It is important how a city cultivates a new image of urban development that playsa crucial role in the transformation of the city as a service –based urban economy. Acity’s sustainable urban development is not simply an expression of broader economicand socio-cultural changes, but plays a major role in shaping the external andinternal image of the city.This Study aims to look at economic growth from the perspective of sustainability.This research studies the economic growth at regional level and the sustainable urbanfactors that influence it. It also studies those technologies that better linksustainability and economic growth. This research concludes by assessing the role ofsustainability in economic generation and how it can potentially make a positivecontribution to the rejuvenation of a local economy
The End of Ownership
Authors: Perzanowski Aaron , Schultz Jason
Published: May 2020

If you buy a book at the bookstore, you own it. You can take it home, scribble in the margins, put in on the shelf, lend it to a friend, sell it at a garage sale. But is the same thing true for the ebooks or other digital goods you buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don't own those purchases, you merely license them. That means your ebook vendor can delete the book from your device without warning or explanation—as Amazon deleted Orwell's 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers several years ago. These readers thought they owned their copies of 1984. Until, it turned out, they didn't. In The End of Ownership, Aaron Perzanowski and Jason Schultz explore how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and make an argument for the benefits of personal property.Of course, ebooks, cloud storage, streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience and flexibility. But, Perzanowski and Schultz warn, consumers should be aware of the tradeoffs involving user constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of private property are clear, but few people manage to read their end user agreements. Perzanowski and Schultz argue that introducing aspects of private property and ownership into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and economic benefits. But, most important, it would affirm our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it can also empower us.
Consumer Perceptions of the Right to Repair
Authors: Perzanowski Aaron
Published: May 2020

Device makers from Apple to John Deere have adopted strategies to thwart the repair of the products they sell. In response, state legislatures across the country are considering bills that would require firms to share replacement parts, tools, software updates, and documentation with independent repair shops and consumers. Beyond those legislative proposals, the policy battle over repair extends to courts, administrative agencies, and even presidential campaigns. In part, the repair debate turns on two very different conceptions of consumer attitudes and expectations. Do consumers prefer the convenience and simplicity of replacing their devices when something goes wrong? Or do they expect and value the ability to repair the things they own? This Article presents the results of a nationwide survey of consumers of electronic devices and explores its implications for the burgeoning right to repair movement.
Applying desistance principles to improve wellbeing and prevent child sexual abuse among minor-attracted persons
Authors: Lievesley Rebecca , Harper Craig A.
Published: May 2020

The prevention of sexual abuse among people with sexual attractions to minors is a field of study that is growing in both size and importance. While there is an increasing amount of research into this topic, particularly in relation to the stigmatisation of minor-attracted persons (MAPs) and the barriers to them seeking help, there is currently no theoretical framework within which to consider this prevention landscape. In this paper, we suggest that an extension of Göbbels, Ward, and Willis’ (2012) integrative theory of desistance from sexual offending could fill this gap in the literature. We explore what the aims of ‘prevention’ initiatives could, or perhaps should, be, before exploring how an extension and adaptation of the desistance framework could provide a framework for working with MAPs in their journey for sound mental health and, ultimately, the prevention of sexual offending.
Challenges of infant language acquisition in bilingual environments
Authors: Byers-Heinlein Krista
Published: May 2020

Many infants around the world grow up bilingual, learning two languages simultaneously from birth. What are these early bilingual environments like, and how do infants successfully navigate them? In this paper, I first describe the variety of ways that bilingual infants can encounter two languages during their early development. I then review how infants surmount unique challenges that they face during bilingual language acquisition. These include detecting and processing language switches, learning two sets of sounds and words, separating the languages, and processing speech in language-specific ways. I conclude by elucidating some of the most pressing methodological challenges in infant bilingualism research. I argue that Open Science approaches such as data sharing and large-scale collaborations will be essential to progress in our understanding of bilingualism in infancy.

Temporal experience modifies future thoughts: Manipulation of Libet’s W influences difficulty assessment during a decision-making task
Authors: Isham Eve
Published: May 2020

Past studies have employed the subjective experience of decision time (Libet’s W) as an index of consciousness, marking the moment at which the agent first becomes aware of a decision. In the current study, we examined whether the temporal experience of W affects subsequent experience related to the action. Specifically, we tested whether W influenced the perception of difficulty in a decision-making task, hypothesizing that temporal awareness of W might influence the sense of difficulty. Consistent with our predictions, when W was perceived as early or late, participants subsequently rated the decision difficulty to be easy or difficult, respectively (Exp.1). Further investigation showed that perceived difficulty, however, did not influence W (Exp.2). Together, our findings suggest a unidirectional relationship such that W plays a role in the metacognition of difficulty evaluation. The results imply that subjective temporal experience of decision time modifies the consequential sense of difficulty.

A comprehensive description of elastic scattering angular distributions for eight different density distribution of 32S nucleus
Authors: Ulucay T. , Aygun M.
Published: May 2020

The elastic scattering angular distributions of 32S projectile by 12C, 27Al, 40Ca, 48Ca, 48Ti, 58Ni, 63Cu, 64Ni, 76Ge, 96Mo and 100Mo targets over the energy range 83.3 - 180 MeV are analyzed in the framework of the double folding model based on the optical model. The real part of the optical model potential is obtained by using double folding model for eight different density distributions of 32S which consist of Ngo, SP, 2pF, G1, G2, S, 3pF, and HFB. The imaginary part of the optical model potential is accepted as the Woods-Saxon (WS) potential. The theoretical results successfully reproduce the experimental data over both a wide energy and a wide target nucleus. Finally, simple and useful formulas which predict imaginary potential depths of each density are derived based on the elastic scattering results.
Super dense coding in one-axis twisting model
Authors: Ahadpour S. , Mirmasoudi F.
Published: May 2020

We study thermal dense coding in a two-spin model under an external magnetic eld. Its depen-dencies on magnetic eld, strength of the spin squeezing and temperature are presented in detail.Our main goal now is to study how we can increase the thermal dense coding capacity in the presenceof magnetic eld, strength of the spin squeezing and temperature. It shows that the dense codingtend to valid value by setting the value of the input quantum correlations. Our most importantmotive for this study is to examine the relationship between the thermal properties of super quan-tum discord (SQD) and dense coding. The results show that the thermal properties of the SQD onour channel enable us to determine when and under what conditions the system is suitable for validdense coding. Our proposals could be lead to that this scheme is efficient for quantum informationprocessing.
Governing the Soul, Governing the Text: Foucault, May 68, and the Fall of the Sovereign
Authors: Zamora Daniel
Published: May 2020

This article explores the impact of the events of 1968 on Michel Foucault’s thought. It argues that, shortly after the events, his criticism of the notion of the author took on a political importance. The ‘death of the author’ now meant the ‘birth’ of the reader, of a subject who could ‘experiment’ with the text and create new meanings. This dimension is crucial because it makes clear that his ‘turn’ to the subject happened earlier than we thought. Moreover, by the late seventies, his analysis of the text constituted an intellectual framework for thinking about the subject itself, increasingly thinking of it as a text in itself: as something to be invented, rather than ‘interpreted’. Foucault’s perspective would strongly oppose older models of textual interpretation and of left politics, putting experimentation, by the subject at the center of new ways of constituting the self.
The Neoconservative Moment in France: Raymond Aron, the United States, and the 1970s
Authors: Steinmetz-Jenkins Daniel
Published: May 2020

This article tries to place the liberal thought of Raymond Aron during the 1970s in a transatlantic context. Doing so, it argues, allows for a better understanding of Aron’s liberalism during the so-called French liberal revival that occurred during this decade. Aron, it shows, was critical of much of the turn to liberalism during this time in France, and in particular the appeal that international human rights had for former French Marxists turned liberals. The paper shows that Aron’s critique of various elements of the French liberal revival only really make sense in light of his fears concerning US political and military decline due to the Vietnam War, economic inflation, the SALT treaty discussions, and perceived Soviet military advantages facilitated by the turn to a foreign policy of détente in the United States. These developments, signaled to Aron, the expansion of Soviet economic and political hegemony into Western Europe. Given these concerns, the trajectory of Aron’s thought took a decidedly neoconservative turn during the 1970s, much like the thought of his neoconservative allies in the United States whom remained uncompromising in their Cold War liberal commitments to containing Communism.
L’utilitarisme en France
Authors: Bozzo-Rey Malik
Published: May 2020

Il est indéniable que travail de Catherine Audard, notamment d’édition et de traduction, a joué en France un rôle important dans la diffusion et la visibilité de la pensée utilitariste, notamment classique. À ce titre, la réédition de La formation du radicalisme philosophique d’Elie Halévy et la publication de l’ Anthologie historique et critique de l’utilitarisme nous semblent particulièrement intéressantes car elles présentent l’utilitarisme comme une philosophie dont les thèses doivent être profondément analysées et qu’il n’est ni possible ni souhaitable de rejeter sans autre forme de procès. En soulignant les apports mais aussi les paradoxes de la pensée utilitariste ainsi que ses évolutions, ces ouvrages gagneraient à être redécouverts – et retravaillés – tant ils permettent de mettre en perspective la manière dont l’utilitarisme est aujourd’hui convoqué parfois (souvent) sans précaution dans des stratégies argumentatives. À ce titre l’exemple des nudges et de la manière dont leurs défenseurs cherchent à légitimer leur utilisation nous paraît représentative.

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as condições de trabalho de docentes atuantes no Ensino Médio a partir de dados de um survey (realizado em 2009 e de domínio público) sobre a docência na Educação Básica em sete estados: ES, GO, MG, PA, PR, RN e SC. O referido survey constituiu na realização de mais de nove mil entrevistas, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário estruturado, porém, o presente artigo analisa dados específicos de um quantitativo de 1.805 sujeitos. Esses foram selecionados – considerando o cômputo geral – a partir dos seguintes critérios: atuavam como professoras(es), prioritariamente, no Ensino Médio ou concomitantemente no Ensino Fundamental. As variáveis selecionadas dos questionários estão atreladas a um dos conceitos mobilizados por este artigo – condições de trabalho – desse modo, foram elencadas aquelas que informassem os atributos sociais, a situação funcional, a formação (inicial e continuada), a carreira e as perspectivas futuras quanto à profissão docente. Entre as várias constatações, destacam-se a predominância do sexo feminino, com mulheres que desenvolvem tarefas domésticas concomitantemente à docência, indicando uma sobrecarga de trabalho, e a concentração de docentes nas faixas etárias mais elevadas, endossando o fenômeno de envelhecimento da profissão. E que a valorização da profissão, sob a ótica dos sujeitos, dar-se-á pela conjugação entre remuneração, carreira, condições de trabalho e formação continuada.

Medicosocial Study on the Influence of Indigenous Knowledge on Perception of Disease Status: Using a Cardiovascular Disease as a Model
Authors: Ezika Ejiofor Augustine
Published: May 2020

Objective: Cultural beliefs may shape understanding of disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in prevalence in urban Nigerian communities; hence, the aim of this research is to explore spiritual views in this context. Material and Methods: This study employed convenience sampling to recruit 50 participants via word of mouth, posters, handbills and community networks. The author drew from his indigenous knowledge to design tools in collaboration with stakeholders, including the community members, faith leaders and leaders in community healthcare practice; to investigate and explore the views of an urban community members in Nigeria on their indigenous beliefs about factors that contribute to CVD. Results: The views that emerged in exploring perceived spiritual factors that contribute to CVD were organised into two preceptions, namely: spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by humans and spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by non-humans. The perceived spiritually inflicted diseases influenced by humans are through witchery and sorcery. The perceived spiritual inflicted diseases influenced by non-humans are through Satan, deities, and God. Spiritually inflicted diseases are perceived to be transmitted through pets, such as domestic cats, birds like owls, bats and objects. Perceived spiritually inflicted diseases can only be healed through spiritual means. Conclusion: In a well-educated, ethnically diverse urban setting the view that spiritual factors have an impact on health and disease is prevalent. Since this may have an impact on healthcare choices, it should be accommodated for in public health planning, and further explored through community-based participatory research.
Chronic Illnesses and Student Academic Performance
Authors: Thongseiratch Therdpong , Chandeying Nutthaporn
Published: May 2020

Innovations in healthcare have improved survival in children with illnesses previously considered fatal. Chronic illnesses in school-age children are increasing significantly, and these children are at higher risk for school problems than their healthy peers. To review the state of research on the impact of chronic illnesses on student academic performance, we reviewed original studies that investigated the relationship of child development, cognitive abilities, and academic achievement with common chronic illnesses. Research reveals evidence that chronic illnesses have both direct (educational impacts) and indirect (social and psychological impacts) impacts on education. Specifically, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes mellitus, cancer, congenital heart diseases, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection affect student achievement and some specific areas of cognitive ability. Success at school for the chronically ill student requires the coordinated efforts of educators, parents, students, and medical professionals. This review also proposes ways to assess and assist children with chronic illnesses in different educational settings. Hospital schooling, homebound instruction, and school-based interventions are examined. The critical aspects of each educational service are discussed with recommendations for educators and healthcare practitioners.

Authors: Rozhkova I.S.
Published: May 2020

Under experimental intoxication, age-related features of the ultradian rhythms of the total protein, albumin in the tissue of the lymph nodes are considered. Using the chronobiological approach and the biochemical research method, a comparison was made of the rhythmic activity of total protein and albumin in the tissue of the lymph nodes in ontogenesis, with chronic exposure to sulfur-containing natural gas and against the background of the introduction of a complex of antioxidants. The revealed fluctuations in the content of total protein and albumin can be characterized as ultradian with periods from 20 - 40 to 60 minutes. The experiment established a higher level of lipid peroxidation products in young and old rats, in comparison with a group of mature animals. The experiments showed that the introduction of a complex of antioxidants restores the weakened function of the lymph nodes, leading to a decrease in the level of free radical processes in all age groups, but with a more pronounced effect in young animals. The obtained experimental data indicate a decrease in the stability of the tissue of the lymph nodes with age and the depletion of the antioxidant system

Published: May 2020

The article presents the results of a study on the effectiveness of vindeburnol, a structural analogue of the cerebral vasodilator vincamine, in the model of multiple sclerosis. The drug was injected subcutaneously in rats after modeling experimental allergic encephalomyelitis at a dose of 20 μg/kg, from the first manifestation of a neurological deficit over the next 10 days. In the somatosensory cortex of animals, the activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, as well as the expression level of the SOD1, GPX4, GPX6 and GSR genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction were studied. It was found that vindeburnol does not affect the expression of the SOD1 gene, as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase, while increasing the expression of the GPS4, GPS6 and GRS genes, which determines the increased activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in rats in the model of multiple sclerosis.

One of the important foundations of any society is the education provided by the universities to the students. ¬There are various levels of educational institutions from IV league to ordinary colleges. ¬The gradation of these institutions is very informal and need proper mechanism to assess them and improve their standards. ¬There are national bodies’ setup in our country for the purpose of assessment of quality assurance such as HEC and PEC but many of the institutions; they do not go for external audit of the process implemented within the institution. ¬is research aims to assess the processes in renowned institutions, measure their level of maturity for improvement where feasible. In this research paper three models have been presented; Documented Model, Actual Model and Proposed Model. ¬e “Admission Processes” of two renowned institutions have been chosen for the purpose of assessment. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) has been used to measure the maturity level of the Actual Model. Weaknesses in Actual Models were identified and solutions have been proposed to upgrade the institutions’ Admission Process Level. The main focus of this research is on the existing “Admission Processes” within the institutions and how to improve them using CMMI. Our analysis shows that proposed model with CMMI level-3 removes the major weaknesses and upgrade the institutions’ Admission Process Level. Analysis shows that after mapping Admission Process of Educational Institution-1 and Educational Institution-2 onto the process areas of Capability Maturity Model Integration it has been found that Maturity Level of Educational Institute-1 is 32.04% and Maturity Level of Educational Institution-2 is 39.54%. Maturity Levels of both Institutions are near to Maturity Level 2. Model has been proposed with Maturity Level 3 for both institutions which is graded as good and rated at 60%. After the practical implementation of proposed model, the Maturity Level can be further improved to 4 and 5, which are graded as excellent and ideal respectively.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the fastest growing technology, as many IoT devices are communicating via RFID technology. During the interaction among RFID reader and tag, collision happens in different ways like tag-to-tag, reader-to-reader and reader-to-tag collisions. Several anti-collision techniques are presented to resolve the collision issue. The RFID reader is like a physical sensor; thus, this study shows how the context-aware process is used in the reader and tag interaction. Furthermore, the authors have discussed the context of RFID anti-collision protocol by analyzing how a reader reads a tag and detects collision from a context-aware perspective. This study examines the method of working of anti-collision techniques from a context-aware perspective. The study gives a brief overview of how an anti-collision technique is working in RFID reader and tag communication. The core focus of this study is to compare anti-collision techniques and examine from a context-aware perspective. In this paper, RFID reader and tag communication is mapped with a context-aware cycle. By examining anti-collision techniques as an outcome, efforts have been made in this paper to determine which anti-collision technique is working better from a context-aware perspective. As per our findings, the discontinuous collision bit mapping algorithm (DCCMA) is a better approach as compared to other anti-collision techniques. Through this paper, we have found out that (DCCMA) anti-collision technique is better from a context-aware perspective.

W poszukiwaniu utraconej metody, czyli Włodzimierz Sołowjow a idea sofijna w nowej książce Henriecke Stahl „Sophia im Denken Vladimir Solov’evs. Eine Ästhetische Rekonstruktion”
Authors: Kotin Andriej
Published: May 2020

The article is based upon Henriecke Stahl’s newest monograph under the title “Sophia im Denken Vladimir Solov’evs. Eine asthetische Rekonstruktion”. The author’s precise analysis focuses on the metamorphosis of the Sophia-idea in both Solovyov’s philosophy and poetry. The following review discusses the most important aspects of Stahl‘s book as well as the semantic peculiarity of her methodology. Other significant and meaningful elements are various frames of reference between Solovyov and German philosophers (Kant, Hegel, Schelling) and mystics (Jacob Bohme) and Eastern Orthodox thinkers, especially those of the hesychast spiritual tradition (Gregory Palamas, [Pseudo-]Dionisys the Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor).
IMPROVEMENT OF METAL BRIDGE ROADWAY STRUCTURE DEPENDING ON DECK PAVEMENT OPERATING BEHAVIOR
Authors: Polyakov S. Yu.
Published: May 2020

The bridge pavement perceives millions of live load application cycles during its service life. Therefore, fatigue defects often occur in asphalt. These defects are associated with insufficient fatigue strength, for example, top-bottom cracks that appear after several years of operation and grow from top to bottom. These cracks cause more serious defects. It is necessary to prevent their occurrence.

The purpose of this article is to increase the asphalt service life on bridge superstructures by developing the pavement design method. To achieve this goal, the pavement fatigue strength is analyzed. Firstly, asphalt stress-strain state is determined under the heavy load. Secondly, a safe stress level is prescribed. At this stress level, asphalt receives the required load cycles without failure. A significant increase in the orthotropic steel deck stiffness is determined to be necessary.

The practical significance is the analysis of several ways to reduce asphalt stresses to the required level. The effectiveness of these methods is evaluated. New problems are identified that will enable the development of the computation method for the bridge pavement and its practical applications.

The originally includes the pavement fatigue strength analysis on road bridges with regard to the temperature influence on the asphalt fatigue strength.
MERCHANTS IN DEVELOMPENT OF SIBERIAN CITIES IN THE 19-20th CENTURES (THE TYUMEN AND TOBOLSK CASE STUDIES)
Authors: Gaiduk M. Yu. , Sitnikova E. V.
Published: May 2020

The article covers historical and cultural heritage of Tyumen and Tobolsk, which are the capitals of the Tobolsk region. Historical cities of Siberia have rich historical, cultural and architectural heritage. 

The aim of this work is to assess the role of merchantry in the architectural image of West Siberian cities such as Tyumen and Tobolsk.

The novelty lies in a full analysis of historical buildings of Tyumen and Tobolsk, identification of the role of local merchantry in establishing their architectural image and preservation of historical and architectural heritage.

The scientific methods include a complex scientific analysis of historical archives and of bibliographical sources, a systems and architectural analyses of the research findings. Practically, the research results can be used in preparation of lectures, papers and essays on the history of the Siberian architecture.

The work is based on theories and methods of historians and architects, and the full-scale experiment carried out by the authors in the years 2013−2019.

It is shown that merchant buildings are extremely valuable. The majority of the assessed buildings are historical and architectural monuments of the local and federal significance. Buildings financed from merchant’s funds preserve knowledge about the history of towns, urban planning culture of the region, development of architectural styles, social and economic standards of the West Siberian cities late in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

OBJECTIVE

The incidence of deformational brachycephaly has risen since the “Back to Sleep” movement in 1992 by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Brachycephaly prevalence and understanding the dynamic nature of the pediatric skull have not been explored in relation to the cranial index (CI). The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of brachycephaly, via the CI, with respect to time.

METHODS

The authors conducted a retrospective review of 1499 patients ≤ 19 years of age who presented for trauma evaluation with a negative CT scan for trauma (absence of bleed) in 2018. The CI was calculated using CT at the lateral-most point of the parietal bone (cephalic width), and the distance from the glabella to the opisthocranion (cephalic length). Brachycephaly was defined as a CI ≥ 90%.

RESULTS

The mean CI was 82.6, with an average patient age of 6.8 years. The prevalence of deformational brachycephaly steadily decreased from 27% to 4% from birth to > 2 years of life. The mean CI was statistically different between ages < 12 months, 12–24 months, and > 24 months (F[2,1496] = 124.058, p < 0.0005). A simple linear regression was calculated to predict the CI based on age; the CI was found to decrease by 0.038 each month. A significant regression equation was found (F[1,1497] = 296.846, p < 0.0005), with an R2 of 0.140.

CONCLUSIONS

The incidence of deformational brachycephaly is common in infants but decreases as the child progresses through early childhood. Clinicians can expect a significant decrease in mean CI at 12 and 24 months. Additionally, these regression models show that clinicians can expect continued improvement throughout childhood.
