Automatic detection of Parkinson's disease from components of modulators in speech signals
Authors: Sarria Paja Milton Orlando
Published: September 2021

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. This disorder mainly affects older adults at a rate of about 2%, and about 89% of people diagnosed with PD also develop speech disorders. This has led scientific community to research information embedded in speech signal from Parkinson's patients, which has allowed not only a diagnosis of the pathology but also a follow-up of its evolution. In recent years, a large number of studies have focused on the automatic detection of pathologies related to the voice, in order to make objective evaluations of the voice in a non-invasive manner. In cases where the pathology primarily affects the vibratory patterns of vocal folds such as Parkinson's, the analyses typically performed are sustained over vowel pronunciations. In this article, it is proposed to use information from slow and rapid variations in speech signals, also known as modulating components, combined with an effective dimensionality reduction reduction approach that will be used as input to the classification system. The proposed approach achieves classification rates higher than 88%, surpassing the classical approach based on mel cepstrals coefficients (MFCC). The results show that the information extracted from slow varying components is highly discriminative for the task at hand, and could support assisted diagnosis systems for PD.

Published: September 2021

The study considers the prospects for the legal regulation of public and private digital platforms. Digital platforms have replaced linear businesses and changed economic principles. The transition to digital technologies in the economy, business, and society substantiates the need for their legal regulation. The study aims at considering the legal status of public and private digital platforms, developing a new conceptual framework, determining the key features of digital platforms, and analyzing the prospects for developing legal regulation in this area. The paper compared management contexts in the public and commercial sectors. With the help of the generalization method, criteria for a new classification of digital platforms were proposed. The article used such methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction. The study represents a new definition of digital platforms, classifies them, and concludes that the introduction of special regulation of public and private digital platforms might require preliminary approbation, for example, in the form of an experimental legal regime. To ensure the comprehensive regulation of the activities of digital platforms, it is necessary to adopt international concepts that would allow creating uniform terms and principles. At the same time, regulation should consider the specifics of the existing regulation. On the one hand, it will be based on the dispositive method; on the other hand, it will be built over the imperative method.

The Exploration of Capacitive Effects of XLPE Cables in Medium Voltage Distribution Systems
Authors: BİLGİÇ Salih , BARDAK Cemile
Published: September 2021

Cross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLPE) type underground power cables used in medium and low voltage distribution systems bring out a reactive effect with capacitive character due to the constructional properties of XLPE cables. If this effect is not eliminated, it causes negative influences on losses, cost, and capacity. Therefore, this study focuses on the capacitive effects of XLPE type underground cables and the appropriate compensation systems to overcome the issue on a medium voltage distribution system with 5500 m-length. The measurements taken from a medium voltage substation have been compared to corresponding simulation results. As a result, a very successful match between simulation and measurements has been achieved. Furthermore, a series of suggestions for establishing appropriate compensation has been presented, which is expected to serve the more efficient transmission and distribution of energy. Since the need for more energy and the amount of utilization are increasing, it is compulsory to carry out the works to decrease the loss rate of the transmission and distribution of energy.

Published: September 2021

Tuberculosis is one of the major causes of death worldwide, millions of people have been infected with pulmonary tuberculosis and over 95% of tuberculosis deaths occur in low and middle income countries as per World Health Organization report. The study assessed the performance of Ziehl Neelsen technique and GeneXpert used for diagnosis of Pulmonary tuberculosis in Uasin Gishu county health facilities, Kenya, between November 2019 and February 2020. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three selected health facilities and a total of 104 participants were enrolled into the study. Sputum samples from suspected tuberculosis patients were tested using Ziehl Neelsen technique, GeneXpert and culture method was used as gold standard. Performance of the tests was done by considering their sensitivity, specificity, predictive values. The results indicated that among the 104 sputum samples tested Ziehl Neelseen technique used detected 23(22.1%) bacilli from spot samples and 33(31.7%) bacilli from morning sputum samples. GeneXpert test detected 49 (47.1%) bacilli. The results also revealed that there was significant difference between Ziehl Neelsen technique using spot samples and GeneXpert and culture test (p-value< 0.05) and Ziehl Neelsen technique using morning test done with culture test had no significant difference (p-value>0.05). Performance of tests should be done accurately for proper diagnosis of TB, GeneXpert should always be used since its sensitivity is high and also detects Rifampicin resistance. Also, Performance of tests should be done using standard procedures to avoid errors in the test results.
Species distribution and antibiogram of coagulase negative Staphylococci isolated from various clinical specimens in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Chikkaraddi Uma , Nandihal Namratha W
Published: September 2021

Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) are common inhabitants of skin and mucous membrane, may act as pathogens causing fatal infections especially in immunocompromised patients. CoNS mainly cause infections involving biofilm on implanted biomaterials. Increase in antimicrobial resistance causes difficulties to treat life threatening infections. Despite their growing importance, their speciation is rarely done. Therefore, the present study is undertaken to identify CoNS to the species level and to know their antibiotic susceptibility pattern along with rate of MRCoNS.

250 isolates from various clinical specimens were considered in this study. The isolates were identified by colony morphology, Gram staining, catalase, slide and tube coagulase test. Speciation was done by Novobiocin resistance, urease activity, ornithine decarboxylase, pyrrolidonylarylamidase and aerobic acid production from mannose. The antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by Kirby-Bauer's disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines.

Among 250 CoNS isolates, commonest species identified was (59.2%) followed by (19.6%) and (12.4%). They were commonly isolated in the age group 21 to 30 years (26.8%) and among males(58%). Total of 33.2% were isolated from pus followed by blood(21.6%). Majority species expressed resistance towards nalidixic acid(97.2%) followed by Penicillin(94%), 74.4% to Amoxicillin-Clavulanic acid and 66.4% to Cotrimoxazole. All the isolates were sensitive to Vancomycin. Methicillin resistance among CoNS was 73.2%.

: The increased recognition of pathogenic potential in CoNS and emergence of drug resistance among them demonstrates the need to adopt simple laboratory methods to identify the species and determine the antibiotic resistant patterns to help the clinicians in treating the infections caused by CoNS.

It is more common in the immunocompromised patients and mainly seen in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), post-renal transplant (PRT) patients and immunocompromised children (IC). Diagnostic microscopy for the oocysts of the parasite is less sensitive, requiring examination of multiple stool samples. Here we developed a new single run polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection of and it was used to know the hospital based prevalence of cyclosporiasis.

A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2016 to October 2020 in a tertiary care teaching hospital. A new single run amplification PCR-based diagnostic assay was developed for . Stool samples were collected from 121 PLHA, 135 PRT and 79 immunocompromised children (IC) other than PLHA and PRT. All stool samples were examined for the presence of oocysts as well as tested with new PCR assay.

Modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining of the concentrated stool smear did not reveal oocysts of species in any stool specimen. However, new PCR assay detected in 2 stool specimens – one from a PLHA patient and another from a PRT patient, giving a prevalence of 0.6% (2/335), 0.8% (1/121) in PLHA and 0.7% (1/135) in PRT. It was not detected in IC.

Cyclosporiasis is infrequent in southern part of India. The new single run PCR assay developed by us is simple and cost effective molecular assay for the detection of .

Africa Begins at the Pyrenees? The Experience of Cross-Cultural Contact of British Soldiers in Andalusia 1810—1812
Authors: Kosykh Tatiana
Published: September 2021

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a presentation which was dominated in Britain about romantic Andalusia, which has hidden Islamic heritage of past centuries, and only the most courageous traveler can decide to take in a journey to it. With the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars and the Pyrenean campaign of the French army, everything had changed, and British soldiers became “travelers in red uniforms”. Some of them visited occupied by the French troops Andalusia in 1810—1812. This article attempts to view Andalusia as a “frontier” between Europe and Africa and to reconstruct the image of southwestern Spain in the narratives of British participants of military operations on the Iberian Peninsula. The author analyzes the peculiarities of the relationship of British officers with local inhabitants, as well as with soldiers of the enemy army, the French and the Poles, and reveals the specificity of the British perception of allies and enemies in Andalusia the context of the Spanish War of Independence.
The Country of “Yellow Lord”: Russia in the Context of the Perception of Europe by the Population of Arabic Mediterranean in the Early Modern Time
Authors: Kobishchanov Taras
Published: September 2021

The evolution of the identification of imaginary communities, including through group oppositions ‘Friend-Foe’, is one of the least studied phenomena of the historical process. The Muslim-Christian look at each other across the Mediterranean provides an extensive field of research in this regard. In recent decades the scientists prefer to talk about the Mediterranean World as a single space that not only divides but connects the Arab-Muslim and Eastern- and Western-European civilizations. This point of view stands up to the still popular binary oppositions as “East vs. West” or “Christian world vs. Muslim world”. The simplicity of such approach considering the humanity to be divided to culturally incompatible and religiously hostile civilizations is proved in particular by numerous connections between the inhabitants of Europe and the Middle East at the early Modern times. Russia has entered into the close cooperation with the Arab world in the 16th — 18th centuries: first through pilgrim-ages and inter-Orthodox contacts, and in the Catherine epoch by organizing the military invasion of the region. The presented article is about how different groups of Arabs, — Muslims and Christians, people of religion and secular rulers, — were perceiving Europe in general and Russia in particular at the early Modern times.
The Jewish Community of Late Byzantine Thessalonica: the Problem of Determining Its Status
Authors: Zhigalova Natalia
Published: September 2021

In this article, the author turns to an examination of the status of the Jewish community in Thessalonica in the late Byzantine period. The author concludes that both in the Byzantine era and during the Venetian rule in Thessalonica, the Jewish community of the city was subjected to numerous restrictions and prohibitions on the part of the official authorities. The reason for this was the initial isolation of the community, as well as the fact that the Jews, in contrast to the rest of the townspeople, owned vast financial resources and rented trading floors, ousting local entrepreneurs from there. The Jewish community in Thessalonica, quite numerous by the standards of contemporaries, in the XIV and XV centuries was in a state of permanent conflict with the church authorities of the city and, probably, had some influence on the communities of Judaizing Christians.
Propaganda Activities of the Norwegian Authorities in the Crisis Situation of the Early 20th Century: Fridtjof Nansen and Sven Hedin
Authors: Sadova Lyudmila
Published: September 2021

This article examines the process of including representatives of the scientific and academic circles of Norway and Sweden — famous travelers and researchers Fridtjof Nansen and Sven Hedin — in the political struggle and propaganda activities. In the 19th — early 20th centuries, the scientist became a media personality, whose international and national authority gives him a new status of a national hero, includes him in the political struggle. The status and fame of the Swedish and Norwegian travelers were almost equal, as well as their weight in the international scientific community. Thats why their figures were used by the authorities of Sweden and Norway in a polemical discussion on the pages of the British press in 1905, defending their own positions in the Swedish-Norwegian conflict. The main source is the publications of F. Nansen and S. Hedin in “The Times”. The purpose of this work is to analyze their articles, identify the main discussion topics and the argumentation used. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the publication activity of F. Nansen in the British press was essentially an unofficial diplomacy, the main task of which was to enlist the support of the British public and the authorities, to bring the Swedish-Norwegian contradictions from the status of a “private matter” to the international arena. Swedish propaganda, in fact, was defensive and exculpatory in nature, the main “trump card” of which was the factor of the “Russian threat”.
At the Sources of Norway’s Foreign Policy Orientation: the Part Played by the November Treaty of 1855
Authors: Nielsen Jens Petter
Published: September 2021

This article deals with the background for the November treaty of 1855 between Great Britain and France on the one hand, and the United kingdoms of Sweden and Norway on the other. The November treaty explicitly pointed to Russia as a potential aggressor against Norway and Sweden and offered these states protection by the two Western Powers. The author elucidates the prerequisites for the conclusion of the treaty, and its role as a first step in Norway’s orientation between East and West — and a foreboding of independent Norway’s foreign policy (from 1905).

Based on archival documents from the Lithuanian and Russian archives, as well as taking advantage of the latest works of historians, the article presents a polemical view of some aspects of the history of the 20th century, relevant for Lithuania and Russia. These are the problems of the red terror, world revolution, propaganda, as well as the preconditions for peace between Lithuania and Russia. The author emphasizes that the peace treaty between Russia and Lithuania not only allowed the two states to build bilateral relations on the basis of peaceful cooperation, but also became one of the treaties that Soviet Russia concluded for possible peaceful and smooth relations with Europe, including the mediation of Lithuania.
How a Big Strategy Led to the Emergence of a Small State: the Example оf Estonia
Authors: Mezhevich Nikolay M.
Published: September 2021

Strategies for moving towards independence are always of scientific interest, which naturally increases in cases where we are talking about a whole sequence of gains and losses of independence. In relation to Estonia, the relevance is due to the fact that the Republic of Estonia is our neighbor, the quality of relations with which is far from ideal. From the beginning of the 20th century until the signing of the Tartu Peace Treaty in 1920, the most complex political processes took place on the territory of the future Estonia, with the participation of a significant number of actors, not one of whom was not interested in Estonian independence. Why, in the first two twenties, Estonia became independent quite unexpectedly, not only for Berlin and Petrograd, but also for Tallinn itself.

Abstract:

Depression is one of the most common neuropsychiatric complications of HIV disease, and this leads to worse HIV-related health outcomes. With 350 million people affected worldwide, rates of depression are roughly two times greater in people living with HIV than in the general population.

Objective: Determine prevalence of depression in patients attending Comprehensive Care Centre Shifa international Hospital, Islamabad

Design: Descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study. 

Settings: Shifa international Hospital, Islamabad Comprehensive Care Centre,

Methods: This data is from a bigger study ‘prevalence of alcohol use disorders and depression in patients attending Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC). The study population consisted of PLWHA attending the CCC. Two hundred and seventy-two (N=272) participants from CCC attendants were recruited. All consenting male and female aged 18-65 years were interviewed using the researcher’s designed questioner to collect their socio-demographic characteristics. Fully completed questionnaires were entered into excel sheets and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20. 

Results: The overall prevalence of depression was 23.8%, with mild depression at 9.7%, moderate depression at 10.4% and severe depression accounting for 3.7%, respectively. Depression was associated with alcohol use (p=0.024). A significant difference between depression and age where depression levels worsens as age advances; respondents in age category of 18-21 years had less or no depression compared to those in the age category of 33 years and above. We found an association between depression and employment. Those laid-off work (1/3), and the retired (15%) had more depression compared to the employed (11%) or self-employed 6%, with a P value of 0.55 (borderline). On multivariate analysis severity of depression (OR=5.5, 95% CI of OR [2.1 –14.3], p<0.0001) was associated with male gender (OR=10, 95% CI of OR [3.6 –28.3], p<0.0001).

Conclusion: The study findings indicate a high prevalence of depressive symptoms in patients attending the CCC. There is need to set-up appropriate interventions and strategies to reduce the prevalence of mental health disorders into routine HIV clinical care and support.
Note on the Intuitionistic Logic of False Belief
Authors: Witczak Tomasz
Published: September 2021

In this paper we analyse logic of false belief in the intuitionistic setting. This logic, studied in its classical version by Steinsvold, Fan, Gilbert and Venturi, describes the following situation: a formula $\varphi$ is not satisfied in a given world, but we still believe in it (or we think that it should be accepted). Another interpretations are also possible: e.g. that we do not accept $\varphi$ but it is imposed on us by a kind of council or advisory board. From the mathematical point of view, the idea is expressed by an adequate form of modal operator $\mathsf{W}$ which is interpreted in relational frames with neighborhoods. We discuss monotonicity of forcing, soundness, completeness and several other issues. Finally, we mention the fact that it is possible to investigate intuitionistic logics of unknown truths.

O inimigo objetivo em distopias pós-11 de Setembro: uma análise de Holy Terror: Terror Sagrado e Jogos Vorazes
Authors: De Souza Monique Heloísa , Quevedo Murilo Ariel De Araujo
Published: September 2021

A literatura distópica da terceira onda é fortemente influenciada pelos eventos do 11 de Setembro de 2001. Todavia, diferentemente dos anteriores, os materiais que compõem a terceira onda da ficção científica são, em sua grande maioria, produtos de cultura de massa, protagonizados por jovens adultos. Para essa leitura, analisamos duas obras contemporâneas que apresentam as características da terceira onda da ficção científica. De um lado, a trilogia Jogos Vorazes, que se passa em um cenário distópico e é protagonizada por uma adolescente. De outro, o quadrinho de Frank Miller, Holy Terror, protagonizado por adultos em uma Nova Iorque alternativa no 11 de Setembro. As duas obras são unidas pelo conceito arendtiano do inimigo objetivo. No entanto, averiguamos que elas apresentam faces diferentes da teoria de Arendt (2013), de um inimigo que pode ser interno ou externo, mas que são potencializadas pela efervescência do nacionalismo estadunidense.
Nomeações e significações da homossexualidade masculina: um ensaio sobre homofobia pela ótica da Teoria das Representações Sociais
Authors: Mendes Augusto César Cardoso , Ribeiro Luiz Paulo
Published: September 2021

A violência homofóbica tem se caracterizado como um problema social. Essa forma de violência pode se caracterizar na forma de xingamentos, nomeações ofensivas e que expressem desqualificação. Neste estudo, nos debruçamos sobre as nomeações que homossexuais masculinos (homens gays) recebem socialmente, com ênfase na nomeação “viado”. Para esta análise, acionamos a Teoria das Representações Sociais para compreender a aplicação dessas expressões frente as questões históricas, nas quais é comum encontrar fatos que dizem respeito a desvalorização e violência para com os sujeitos não heteroafetivos e não cisgêneros. A construção teórica do texto foi baseada em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, que teve como finalidade reunir outras produções científicas que já tangenciaram a temática. O trabalho evidenciou que algumas representações sociais sobre a homossexualidade podem favorecer a homofobia
Memorial Chico Science: o Manguebeat como patrimônio cultural da cidade do Recife
Authors: Oliveira Esdras Lima
Published: September 2021

O Manguebeat, cena cultural dos anos 1990 que teve certa repercussão nacional e internacional, tornou-se a partir dos anos 2000, especialmente com a chegada do Partido dos Trabalhadores ao poder na cidade, parte importante do discurso cultural na capital pernambucana. Dessa maneira, uma série de políticas públicas passaram a usar o legado simbólico da cena na construção de lugares de memória e de símbolos para a cidade, em um movimento precoce de construção de uma seleção de ícones que passou por um processo de patrimonialização. Devido a esse contexto, o Memorial Chico Science (MSC), hoje fechado por conta da pandemia de COVID-19, foi construído em homenagem ao cantor e principal nome da cena, morto em 1997, como espaço não apenas de memória, mas de construção cultural a partir dos preceitos postos pelas bandas na já distante década de 1990.
Expanded Universes in Science Fiction: A Matter of Integration
Authors: Baby Gomes Arthur Maia , Indrusiak Elaine Barros
Published: September 2021

Still lacking theoretical definitions, expanded universes are an artistic phenomenon often seen in science fiction literature as well as in narratives in other media. This text proposes a mechanism to explain how these universes come into being. For this, we analyze a series of cases such as Robert A. Heinlen’s Future History, Ursula K. Le Guin’s Hainish Cycle, George R. R. Martin’s Thousand Worlds, Joanna Russ’ Whileaway, and transmedia examples such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Borrowing from Tamar Yacobi’s concept of mechanisms of integration – ways in which the reader makes sense of inconsistencies or oddities in a narrative – we argue that the explanation that two or more independent stories are set in a common universe is a hypothesis generated by the reader to integrate coincidences between these stories
Entre distopia, realismo mágico e ficção científica: o problema do gênero no roteiro cinematográfico não filmado inédito de A hora dos ruminantes
Authors: De Mello Marcelo Cordeiro
Published: September 2021

Este artigo apresenta ao leitor o projeto cinematográfico não filmado de A hora dos ruminantes, de 1967, adaptado da obra homônima do escritor José J. Veiga pelo cineasta Luiz Sergio Person e o crítico de cinema e roteirista Jean-Claude Bernardet. Discutimos o problema do gênero a partir da relação com o tema da distopia, e analisamos a relação de A hora dos ruminantes com dois gêneros artísticos: a ficção científica e o realismo mágico. A partir dessa discussão, e da análise de documentos inéditos sobre o projeto cinematográfico, levantamos a hipótese de que A hora dos ruminantes poderia ter inaugurado um novo gênero cinematográfico híbrido.
The aircraft engines in the land vehicles
Authors: Walentynowicz Jerzy
Published: September 2021

The examples of the applications of the aircraft engines to propulsion of the heavy armored land vehicles are presented in this paper. They provide the power necessary for high mobility of these land vehicles, which have a weight much greater than trucks. These engines were mass produced and thus were readily available. It was easier to repair damaged engines, too. Both spark-ignition and compression-ignition piston engines as well as turbocharged engines were used to propulsion of the armored vehicles. General solutions of the dual-purpose engines for the vehicles during the First and Second World War as well as the engines used nowadays are presented. Attention is also given to the specific solutions of these engine assemblies. Their basic technical and operational parameters are described. The implications of adapting aircraft engines to land vehicles were analyzed.

Authors: Fernandes Joana , Fontes Liliana , Coimbra Isabel , Paiva José Artur
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Long-term health impairments are often experienced among survivors of critical illness, which may have a negative impact on their quality of life. The aim of this study was to characterize COVID-19 survivors of critical illness and to evaluate health-related quality of life and disability following hospital discharge.Material and Methods: This is a retrospective case-series study that included COVID-19 survivors admitted to the Intensive Care Medicine Department of a University Hospital. Follow-up evaluation was performed between the 30th and the 90th day after discharge. Quality of life was explored using the five-level version of the EQ-5D instrument (EQ-5D-5L) and functionality using the 12-question World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0).Results: Forty-five survivors were enrolled, 28 (62.2%) men, median age 63.0 years. The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire showed moderate to extreme problems in some dimension in 29 patients (64.4%): mobility in six (13.3%), self-care in seven (13.3%), usual activities in 23 (51.1%), pain/discomfort in 14 (31.1%) and anxiety/depression in 17 (37.8%). When using the 12-question WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire, moderate to extreme disability was reported in some question in 37 patients (82.2%): 19 (42.2%) in standing for long periods, 18 (40.0%) in long-distance walking; 14 (31.1%) on taking care of household responsibilities and 17 (37.8%) in their day-to-day work; 23 (51.1%) felt emotionally affected by their health problems.Discussion: Based on COVID-19 survivors-reported outcomes after critical illness, mobility, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression were the main problems that persisted one to three months after hospital discharge.Conclusion: An organized follow-up structure is crucial to improve health-related quality of life in critical COVID-19 survivors.

Imagining national belief through art
Authors: Langer Johnni
Published: September 2021

This article analyzes the painting Nordisk offerscene fra den Odinske periode (Nordic sacrificial scene from the period of Odin), created by the Danish painter Johan Ludvig Gebhard Lund (1777-1867) in 1831 and which presents a theme regarding Old Norse religion and the Vikings. We have made use of Ernest Gombrich's schemata theory and the studies of reception by Margaret Clunies Ross. Our main perspective is that Lund's work was related to both Danish nationalist romanticism and to a perspective of history and art in which the ancient religious forms and idealized representations of the Vikings played a major role in shaping social and cultural identities of his time.
