Beyond Inclusion: Cultivating a Critical Sense of Belonging through Community-Engaged Research
Authors: Beckett Linnea K. , Lu Flora , Sabati Sheeva
Published: March 2022

A broad body of literature outlines the interventions to support underrepresented and minoritized students’ inclusion and sense of belonging into university contexts. In this paper, we explore how two first-generation students of color articulate a critical sense of belonging through their reflections as student researchers in the Apprenticeship in Community-Engaged Research or (H)ACER program at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). (H)ACER integrates community engagement, ethnographic sensibilities, critical race and decolonial theory, as well as women of color feminisms into a curriculum designed to train critical scholar-researchers. Through themes of feeling isolated on campus and returning ‘home’ in the garden, building comfort with academic theory, and navigating insider/outsider identities in campus/community contexts, we trace how the students developed an awareness of their positionality and made sense of their experiences of ‘belonging’, both within the campus and community contexts. Their narratives spark our deeper exploration into how critical approaches to community-engaged research may offer a pedagogy for supporting student sense of belonging that extends beyond inclusion, a promising vein of further research.

Published: March 2022

Cognitive-behavioral coping among teachers is an important issue of investigation due to the reported high prevalence of anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Whereas several studies have assessed COVID-19 awareness of individuals as a predictor of anxiety, the moderating role of awareness in anxiety and coping mechanisms remains unclear. The study primarily examined the nexus between awareness of COVID-19 and (a) anxiety and (b) coping strategies, including the interaction effect of COVID-19-related awareness in the link between anxiety and coping strategies among senior high school teachers. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted to conveniently select 184 teachers from senior high schools in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Questionnaires were administered to the participants and data were analyzed with means, standard deviation, Pearson correlation, and linear regression statistical procedures. Summarily, the results revealed a negative relationship between COVID-19 awareness and anxiety levels of teachers. COVID-19-related anxiety significantly predicted coping mechanisms of teachers. Further, COVID-19 awareness significantly moderated the relationship between anxiety and coping strategies adopted. These findings imply that the public health education and mass awareness campaign programs on COVID-19 could act as buffers against the spread of COVID-19, its associated comorbidities, and help improve the mental health of teachers. Promoting adaptation to COVID-19 through the use of functional management strategies such as active coping and emotional support should be encouraged in the Cape Coast Metropolis among teachers.
Poverty Risks after Relationship Dissolution and the Role of Children: A Contemporary Longitudinal Analysis of Seven OECD Countries
Authors: Thielemans Gert , Mortelmans Dimitri
Published: March 2022

The divorce literature has consistently found that—especially women—are negatively affected by relationship dissolution in terms of material wellbeing. There is, however, considerable debate on whether these effects are persistent or temporary. We use fixed effects models and control for the socioeconomic status of individuals who separated between 2011 and 2018 in seven countries for which large scale longitudinal data has recently been harmonized in the Comparative Panel File. We find that the transitory nature of the effect of relationship dissolution on poverty risks for women is similar across countries, but also for some men. We further focus on the role of children in the immediate changes in poverty risks after separation, and again find significant differences between countries. We discuss these findings in light of social policies adopted by these countries, more specifically child and spousal support schemes. We find no distinguishable differences in these support schemes that adequately explain the observed dissimilarities. The implications of this study for the future study of the association between relationship dissolution and poverty are discussed and future pathways are suggested.

Published: March 2022

В статье представлены результаты эксперимента, целью которого являлось изучение влияния применения различных схем тканевого биостимулятора на некоторые показатели клеточного иммунитета телок в возрасте 18 мес. Исследование проводилось в 2020—2022 годах в условиях сельхозпредприятия Алтайского края. По принципу аналогов сформировано 4 группы животных по 10 голов Приобского типа черно-пестрой породы. При подборе учитывали возраст (1 мес) и живую массу (51,3±1,48 кг). Продолжительность опыта составила 18 мес. Телкам контрольной группы ежемесячно подкожно вводили физиологический раствор, I и II опытных групп — тканевый биостимулятор, изготовленный из субпродуктов и боенских отходов пантовых оленей. Схема применения тканевого биостимулятора, использовавшаяся в дозе от 3 мл в 1—5 мес до 15 мл на 1 голову в 16—18 мес оказалась наиболее эффективной и способствовала увеличению в крови ремонтных телок 18-месячного возраста показателей спонтанного НСТ-теста на 11,8—17,2% (P≤0,001), стимулированного НСТ — на 10,1—16,1% (P≤0,001) и фагоцитарной активности нейтрофилов — на 1,8—5,2% (P≤0,05), в сравнении с аналогичными значениями в контрольной группе животных.

This paper discusses the experimental research findings on the effect of different dosing schedules of tissue bio-stimulant on some indices of cell immunity in heifers at the age of 18 months. The study was conducted from 2020 through 2022 at an agricultural enterprise of the Altai Region. Four groups of 10 comparable Black-Pied heifers of the Priobskiy type were formed. When selecting the animals, their age (1 month) and live weight (51.3 ± 1.48 kg) were taken into account. The experiment lasted 18 months. In the control group, physiological salt solution was injected subcutaneously on monthly basis; in the 1st and 2nd trial groups — the tissue bio-stimulant made from velvet antler deer slaughterhouse offal. The following dosing schedule of the tissue bio-stimulant proved to be the most effective: from 3 mL at the age of 1—5 months up to 15 mL per 1 head at the age of 16—18 months; this schedule contributed to increased values of spontaneous NBT test of the blood of 18-month-old replacement heifers by 11.8—17.2% (P ≤ 0.001), and those of induced NBT test — by 10.1—16.1% (P ≤ 0.001); and neutrophil phagocytic rate — by 1.8—5.2% (P ≤ 0.05) as compared to those ​​in the control group of animals.

The chlorophyll/carotenoid index (CCI) is increasingly used for remotely tracking the phenology of photosynthesis. However, CCI is restricted to few satellites incorporating the 531 nm band. This study reveals that the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) broadband green reflectance (band 4) is significantly correlated with this xanthophyll-sensitive narrowband (band 11) (

). GRVI and CCI performed similarly in extracting phenological metrics of the dates of the start and end of the season (EOS) when evaluated with gross primary production (GPP) measurements from eddy covariance towers. For EOS extraction of evergreen needleleaf forest, GRVI even overperformed solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence which is seen as a direct proxy of plant photosynthesis. This study opens the door for GPP and photosynthetic phenology monitoring from a wide set of sensors with broadbands in the green and red spectral regions.

Wear and Mechanical Behavior of ZA27 Alloy Reinforced with B4C Produced by Powder Metallurgy Method
Authors: YALÇIN Emre Deniz , ÇANAKÇI Aykut , ERDEMİR Fatih
Published: March 2022

In this study, ZA27 matrix alloy was reinforced with nano-sized B4C and its wear behavior and mechanical properties were investigated. The samples were produced using the powder metallurgy technique. The reinforcement ratio (0, 0.125, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3% by weight) the internal structure, morphology, and wear surfaces were investigated and by SEM analysis and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Wear tests were carried out in a dry friction environment using 1, 2, 5, and 10 N loads. The results showed that the increased B4C reinforcement increased the abrasion resistance of the composite samples, especially under 10 N load, the weight loss was 250 mg in the matrix material, while it was measured as 0.023 mg in the 3% B4C reinforced sample. As a result of this, while the B4C reinforcement increased, the weight losses decreased under all loads. Although, all the wear types changed from adhesive to abrasive wear when the adhesive wear mechanism was more dominant for ZA27 alloy and had a lot higher weight loss composites. Essentially, reinforcement with nano B4C particles changed the mechanism to abrasive wear. The increase in nano B4C content resulted in the changing of wear from two-body to three-body abrasion.
Official Ideology of the Autocracy in the 19th–Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Гольцов В.И.
Published: March 2022

В статье показано становление и развитие официальной идеологии российского самодержавия в XIX – начале XX вв. С этой целью проанализированы генезис и содержание ряда концепций в их историческом и идейно-политическом контексте – теории официальной народности С.С. Уварова, пореформенного консерватизма М.Н. Каткова и русского консервативного национализма К.П. Победоносцева. Рассмотрены общие черты данных теорий, в частности – охранительная трактовка русских национальных начал и русского народа, игнорирование внутренних причин освободительных идей и освободительного движения в России, антилиберализм, отрицательное отношение к конституционализму и демократии, использование церкви в качестве инструмента власти, ставка на традиционализм и казённый патриотизм. Предпринята попытка выяснить, насколько точно данные теории отражали российскую реальность, насколько доказательными они были. Делается вывод о том, что они были не только поверхностными и самоуспокоительными, но и весьма опасными, в первую очередь для самой самодержавной власти. Опираясь на них, российские правители часто принимали неадекватные обстановке решения, вставали на опасный путь изоляционизма и охранительности, что, в конечном счете, как ни парадоксально, лишь ускоряло то, что они пытались отодвинуть, а именно – революционные потрясения. Официальная идеология российского самодержавия не сумела выполнить задачу обеспечения эффективных условий его функционирования.

The study outlines the development of the official ideology of the Russian autocracy in the 19th–early 20th centuries. Therefore, the author examined the origins and contents of several doctrines and concepts in their historical, ideological and political context. These are Sergei Uvarov's Official Nationality doctrine, Mikhail Katkov's Post-Reform Conservatism and Konstantin Pobedonostsev's Russian Conservative Nationalism. These theories have a few common features, such as a rather conservative interpretation of Russian national identity and its origins, disregard for the internal causes of the liberation movement in Russia, anti-liberalism, rejection of constitutionalism and democracy, reliance on the church as an instrument of power and support for traditional values and hurrah-patriotism. The author attempted to determine how accurately these theories reflected Russian life and how credible they were. The study concluds that these doctrines were a shallow attempt of the authorities and elites to foster confidence in the existing regime. Moreover, these theories were also dangerous, first and foremost for the autocracy itself. Drawing upon these ideas, Russian rulers have often made poor decisions, adopting the dangerous course towards isolationism and conservatism, which only brought the demise of the regime even closer, stoking the flames of an inevitable revolution – something that the Empire desperately sought to avoid. The official ideological tenets of the Russian autocracy failed to accomplish its main task of ensuring the stability and efficiency of the regime.
Main Issue of the Submarine Forces of the Russian Empire
Authors: Поликарпов В.В.
Published: March 2022

В статье рассматривается развитие конструирования и изготовления двигателей подводных лодок, главным образом дизельных, получивших признание в качестве наиболее пригодных для подводного плавания. В литературе этот процесс освещен противоречиво. Материалы, характеризующие обстоятельства проектирования и производства дизелей на всех русских заводах, показывают, что машиностроение и металлургия страны испытывали затруднения технологического характера, не позволявшие удовлетворительно решить острейшую для действующего флота проблему. Сравнительные данные говорят о непреодоленном отставании Российской империи в подводном кораблестроении от Германии, Англии и США.

This study explores the evolution of submarine engine design and production, concerning itself primarily with diesel engines, which have been widely recognised as the best engine type for submarine propulsion. Secondary scholarly literature offers highly varied views on this process. Records and sources describing diesel engine designs and manufacturing at Russian factories indicate that the country's engineering and metallurgy industry were plagued by several technical and technological issues that prevented the problem from being solved. Comparative data suggest that submarine construction in the Russian Empire was lagging behind that of Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Abolition of Military Service Restrictions for Cossacks in April 1936: A Historical Background
Authors: Венков А.В.
Published: March 2022

В 1936 году, за несколько месяцев до принятия новой Конституции СССР, с казаков России были сняты ограничения по несению военной службы. Само это событие превратилось практически в многомесячный праздник и чествование нового советского колхозного казачества. В статье показано на примере прессы Азово-Черноморского края, где проживало 2/3 казаков России, как готовилось это мероприятие, какую идеологическую нагрузку возлагало на него власть. Показано, что военная составляющая события не была так значительна, как ее показывали. Главной задачей власти было показать, что казачество, которое весь XIX век было «брендом» России в Европе и которое одно давало белым армиям массовую силу во время гражданской войны, теперь смирилось с советской властью и обещает верно служить ей.

In 1936, just a few months before the adoption of the new Constitution of the Soviet Union, the authorities lifted all restrictions on military service from the Russian Cossacks. The event became a cause for a month-long celebration of the newly-formed Soviet Cossacks. The paper presents press reports from the Azov and the Black Sea Region, where two-thirds of Russian Cossacks lived to illustrate how this event was planned and organized, as well as what ideological message the government intended to convey. The author demonstrated that the military impact of the event was less significant than what the press suggested. The authorities tried to show that the Cossacks, who had been Russia's "trademark" in Europe throughout the 19th century and who had given the White Army a lot of support during the Civil War, now accepted the Soviet regime and pledged their allegiance to it.

In most modern years, the dimensions and materials of the blades of steam turbines have increased by raising the power of steam turbines. In preference to the wide-ranging application of turbo machinery and constant improvement of steam turbine blade materials and design techniques, steam turbine blade design and material behavior study technology have turned out to be a significant following in the line of investigation field. The optimized design and material behavior are the most significant factors limiting the efficiency of steam turbines, which is associated with the operating effectiveness of the steam turbines. On the other hand, because of the complicated form and the maximal effects of material behavior, it is not easy to predict and examine the behavior of the turbine blades for different geometrical shapes and materials by both the systematic method and an engineering generalization scheme. The forecasted finite element analysis method offers an efficient means to resolve those complicated project analysis and material behavior challenges. It can be utilized to establish the distribution of stress and heat flux in the entire blade geometry caused by the coupling effect of thermal stress distribution and axial loads on the blade structure. Attempts have been made to match the optimized blade thickness of the steam turbine by utilizing Finite Element Analysis.

Abstract Introduction. Compared to European countries, the level of road safety in Ukraine is extremely unsatisfactory due to high mortality and road traffic injuries. Improving road safety is one of the important social problems of our time, which is associated with the preservation of human life and health. Problem statement. The problem of road safety in Ukraine is well visible due to the number of dead and injured people on the roads. Road accidents cause huge social losses for citizens and place a heavy burden on the health care system and the economy as a whole. Reducing injuries from road accidents and saving people’s lives is one of the most important tasks for our country. Purpose. In the article the evaluation of safety level on roads of national importance will be conducted (according to certain indicators), which allows to make a conclusion about the compliance of the road network or individual sections of roads with traffic conditions and, accordingly, to decide on planning and prioritization of traffic safety measures. Materials and methods. The study used the method of statistical data processing for the analysis of roads by safety level. Results. The rating of highways according to the level of safety has been established to determine the priority of the road safety inspection in conditions of limited funding. Conclusions. According to the value of the weighted average coefficient of accident rate and severity of consequences of road accidents, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the general level of road safety. This allows to assess the level of safety on the road network as a whole in Ukraine and within a particular region, which helps to develop and implement measures to improve traffic safety on the most dangerous sections of roads. Key words: road, accident, road safety, traffic accidents, dead, road network rating, safety level, injured.
Airy function based model for 2-DEG charge and surface potential in N-polar Gallium Nitride heterostructures
Authors: Menokey Anuja , Ajoy Arvind
Published: March 2022

A systematic, analytical method to obtain the charge density and surface potential in an N-polar GaN/AlGaN heterostructure is presented. This method also provides the wave functions, sub-band energies, and band diagram. The model accounts for the greater leakage of the wave functions into the spacer and barrier layers in the N-polar structure as compared to the Ga-polar structure. The framework is based on the solution of Schrodinger-Poisson equations for an approximately triangular well potential with finite confinement, achieved using first-order perturbation theory. No fitting parameters are used. Results obtained using our model are in good agreement with numerical results (obtained using the finite difference method) for a wide range of bias conditions.
Deep Multi-Representation Learning for Data Clustering
Authors: Sadeghi Mohammadreza , Armanfard Narges
Published: March 2022

Deep clustering incorporates embedding into clustering in order to find a lower-dimensional space suitable for clustering task. Conventional deep clustering methods aim to obtain a single global embedding subspace (aka latent space) for all the data clusters. In contrast, in this paper, we propose a deep multi-representation learning (DML) framework for data clustering whereby each difficult to cluster data group is associated with its own distinct optimized latent space, and all the easy to cluster data groups are associated to a general common latent space. Autoencoders are employed for generating the cluster-specific and general latent spaces. To specialize each autoencoder in its associated data cluster(s), we propose a novel and effective loss function which consists of weighted reconstruction and clustering losses of the data points, where higher weights are assigned to the samples more probable to belong to the corresponding cluster(s). Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed DML framework and loss function outperform state-of-the-art clustering approaches. In addition, the results show that the DML method significantly outperforms the SOTA on imbalanced datasets as a result of assigning an individual latent space to the difficult clusters.

Background: Oral-mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (omSCC) is a substantially more aggressive disease that affects the oral mucosa, tongue, floor of mouth, and oropharynx, where it is estimated that between 18.6% and 44% of patients present with nodal disease depending on the subsite. As the lip is a site of anatomical overlap, primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lip (lip SCC) exhibits higher rates of nodal spread, mortality, and poor clinical outcome compared with cutaneous SCC. For patients with locally advanced OSCC, rapid advancements regarding the choice of induction chemotherapy regimen have been made. There is substantial evidence related to the advantage and superiority of three-drug combination of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Fluorouracil (TPF) over the doublet regime of Cisplatin and Fluorouracil (PF) used previously as induction chemotherapy (ICT). Case presentation: A 54 years Moroccan women old, who has been accusing, for more than a year, of a neglected painful tumefaction of the lower lip. The clinical examination finds a budding and ulcerous tumefaction of the lower lip and a biopsy of his lip lesion was scheduled. Histopathology report poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Assessment of extension showed bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and no distant locations. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the decision was to propose a conservative treatment, namely concurrent radio chemotherapy after induction chemotherapy made of the TPF protocol. The evaluation after 03 cycles of the protocol shows an almost complete disappearance of the apparent tumor with a good tolerance profile. Conclusion: Many analysis demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in locoregional recurrence amongst patients who received Induction chemotherpay despite that she has never provided an improvement to OS for OSCC patients. In the present case, chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil regimens is considered as an effective induction therapy ...

The Coronavirus situation has escorted to the closure of scholastic institutes all around the world. To not interrupt their students’ learning, educational stakeholders had retorted excellently to this challenge by switching to virtual learning and by improving their virtual learning environments (VLEs). Hence, the VLEs have particular characteristics that should be met to accommodate the students’ learning in a trustworthy and successful way. This study aimed to critically review the influential factors of learning in VLEs via a descriptive study. Findings revealed that teacher personality, student autonomy, ICT, and course design are factors related to motivation for learning in a VLE. These findings are considered valuable contributions for educational stakeholders to meet the students’ educational, psychological, social, and technological needs in VLEs which have replaced, in part or whole, the traditional educational systems in most of the educational institutions around the world.
Is Art as Valuable to Society as Science?
Authors: Shorkend Dr. Daniel
Published: March 2022

In this article, I argue in favor of the idea that art is as valuable, perhaps even more so than science in a given society. I base this on the principles that art is well appointed to teach morality; as an educational tool; to foster empathy; enabling abstract thought through form and play and governed by aesthetic principles, the precondition for knowledge as it were. I believe this is a timely and necessary argument to be made in an increasingly technocratic and materialistic society where philosophical speculation and art as “deep” are often overlooked. I also believe there is a dialectic between art and science in the first place so that it is not a matter of pitting such disciplines against each other as it were.

Different heavy salts accumulated in the soil causing the soil salinity and damage the biological processing occurring in plants such as photosynthesis and light reactions. Climate changes also promote the accumulation of heavy metals by promoting the chemicals substances in the leaves and roots cells that causing the chlorosis. Coal combustion release the large amount of mercury metals that acting as toxic for the plants. There is need to design the biological and mechanical processing the removal of salts and toxic wastes from surfaces in such a way that no eruptions of plant materials occur at the surfaces. Nanotechnology employed the nanoparticles to capture the toxic metals through biological and chemical process that is more reliable and less expensive. A large variety of nanoparticles in the form of nanobased graphene oxides, graphite oxides and CNT, mesoporous silica materials have been used for controlling the pollution caused by heavy metals. These nanoparticles are compatible for the plant growth by suppressing the crop diseases by acting directly on phytopathogens. Therefore, it is reliable for controlling the risk of environmental pollution caused by heavy metals.

Researchers in recent years are working on different approaches to the problem of bacteria resistant to antibiotics through drug modification. The synthesis of metal drug complexes are becoming more popular than their parent drugs because they possess modified pharmacological, toxicological and physiochemical properties. In this study, amoxicillin complexes of copper and zinc (II) ions were synthesized using standard method. The complexes were characterized for aqueous solubility, UV-visible spectral, acid stability, and thermal stability and in-vitro antimicrobial activities. The results of the physiochemical properties showed evidence of complex formation between the metals and the ligand. The acid and thermal stability of amoxicillin complexes showed high acid and thermal stability than its parent form. In-vitro antimicrobial activity of amoxicillin and its complexes form were studied against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results revealed that Amoxicillin complexes of copper (II) ions showed effective antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus than its pure form while Amoxicillin Zn2+ showed lower antibacterial activity when compared to its parent drug. This study suggests that transition metal complexes of amoxicillin modify the properties of the parent drug.

Introduction: Warthin like papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare variant that bears features similar to Warthin tumour of salivary gland. It shows papillary or follicular structures lined by oncocytic cells having typical nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma and marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate in the stroma. Case Report: A 60 year old lady presented in the ENT OPD with right sided neck swelling since 2 years. On examination the swelling was firm, non-tender, moving with deglutition and measured 4x3 cm. FNA smears of the swelling were highly cellular and comprised of cells arranged in papillary clusters. The cells were predominantly oncocytic and showed nuclear grooving and intranuclear inclusions. Cytological diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (Bethesda Category VI) was offered. Thyroidectomy specimen measured 6.5x5x3 cm and right lobe revealed gray tan tumor with numerous papillae and few cystic areas. Microscopy revealed a well circumscribed tumour, with tumour cells arranged in papillary architecture with presence of dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate in the stalks of papillae. The cells lining the papillae had abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and many of the cells showed nuclear grooving and intranuclear inclusions. Occasional psammoma bodies were also seen. The surrounding thyroid showed features of hashimoto’s thyroiditis. A final diagnosis of Warthin like variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma was given. Conclusion: Warthin like variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a distinct rare variant. It is associated with good prognosis when compared with other variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma, warranting a proper identification.
