СУПЕРЕЧНОСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНИХ ЗАСАД ПУБЛІЧНОЇ ГУМАНІТАРНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ДЕРЖАВИ
Authors: Meliakov A.
Published: August 2020

Доведено, що організаційний складник державної гуманітарної політики характеризується фрагментарністю та відчутною залежністю від політичної кон’юнктури. У 2019–2020 рр. низка інституцій гуманітарної сфери проіснували кілька місяців і виключно “на папері”. Показано, що рішення про утворення Державної служби з питань етнополітики та свободи совісті є своєчасним. Охарактеризовано негативний вплив на розвиток гуманітарних інституцій секвестру державного бюджету, спричиненого пандемією COVID-19. Доведено, що кадрова політика в гуманітарній сфері відзначається, з одного боку, високим рівнем інформаційної відкритості, з іншого – непослідовністю, конфліктогенністю тощо.

Published: August 2020

The demand for pets to fill affective family spaces, the increased economic capacity of social classes and the displacement of rural populations to cities are influencing factors in increasing pet acquisition. This cohabitation can trigger epidemiological factors that affect human health. For this reason, it is necessary to know the diseases that affect domestic cats that live with humans and determine if there are zoonotic infectious agents that inflict on human health. In the present study, 103 medical records of domestic cats attended in 2019 at the Veterinary Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Zootechnics were studied. This in order to categorize the most frequent diseases in the species. 71.84% of the cats examined were sick. 55.41% were males, while the age range with the highest frequency was 0-1 years. The most frequent category according to the VITAMIN D System was Inflamatory/infectious.

Published: August 2020

Objetivo: se presenta un estudio poblacional de deterioro cognitivo de un grupo de ancianos valorados en la comunidad en los cuales se determinó la prevalencia de deterioro cognitivo a través de la prueba del reloj. Material y métodos: se valoraron 803 ancianos que habitaban en comunidad, durante los meses de noviembre de 2011 a agosto de 2012, de distintas regiones del país. Se aplicaron formatos de registro y se procesaron en forma descriptiva. Resultados: los relojes evaluados por medio de los criterios de Cacho para detección de deterioro cognitivo, permitieron identificar que 40% de la población de ancianos incluidos en el estudio, presentaban un resultado sugestivo de deterioro cognitivo. El rango de edad más afectado por deterioro cognitivo, en el grupo de relojes calificados, se observó entre los 70 y 79 años (46.1%), seguido por los individuos entre los 80 y los 89 años (31.8%). El rango de edad entre 60 y 69 años mostró una prevalencia de deterioro cognitivo en 19.6%. El 57.6% de los ancianos con resultados sugestivos de deterioro cognitivo presentaban antecedente de hipertensión arterial. El 14.3% de los ancianos evaluados refirieron haber sido diagnosticado con diabetes mellitus, de los cuales 48.7% presentaron hallazgos subjetivos de deterioro cognitivo (17.4% del total de población con deterioro cognitivo). El antecedente de accidente cerebrovascular se observó en el 4.9% de la población, de los cuales 56% obtuvieron puntajes sugestivos de deterioro cognitivo. Conclusiones: con respecto a nuestro estudio, 40% de la población presentaba hallazgos sugestivos de deterioro cognitivo, además se logró evidenciar una importante prevalencia de deterioro cognitivo en factores de riesgo reportados en la literatura. También se observó que en todos los grupos evaluados los errores en la localización de las manecillas predominaron como el principal error en la realización de la prueba, seguido de las alteraciones en la presencia y secuencia de los números, mientras que la realización de la esfera fue la variable menos afectada en todos los grupos poblacionales. Se observó en el estudio que los resultados sugestivos de deterioro cognitivo presentaron una relación directa con el analfabetismo, el nivel educativo y la edad. Finalmente podemos sugerir que la prueba del reloj, en el contexto del anciano colombiano que habita en comunidad, constituye una herramienta útil para el tamizaje de la demencia en atención primaria y geriatría clínica.
Socio-cultural Factors Influencing the Incidence of Tuberculosis in Abuja-Leather Mining Camp, Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Taiwo Patricia. A. , Adewuyi Adewale R.
Published: August 2020

Tuberculosis (TB) is a global pandemic with Nigeria ranked among countries with a high burden of the disease. While some countries have succeeded in halving the prevalence rate, the situation is not the same for Nigeria. This study utilized a semistructured questionnaire administered on 394 randomly selected respondents. Twelve In-depth Interviews (IDIs) and four Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) were conducted. Respondents’ mean age was 35.0±10.4 years. Over 90.0% had heard of TB, while over 60.0% identified cough that last longer than 3 weeks and coughing out blood as symptoms of TB. Respondents acquired their knowledge of TB from radio, health workers, family, friends and colleagues. While there was poor knowledge of other symptoms of TB, less than half of the respondents had knowledge of how TB could be cured and prevented. More than half of the respondents identified smokers and alcoholics as people that can be infected with TB. Regression analysis showed that only sex, level of education and ethnicity had significant independent prediction on the knowledge of how TB is contracted (R=.329, R2=.108, F=5.551, P<.05). More than half of the respondents had a belief that tuberculosis is a punishment from gods/goddess, a hereditary disease, and a spiritual attack from the enemies. Study showed that smoking, talking, coughing and sneezing while working in group in the mining pits especially with an infected person increase TB spread. The study recommends public health education and enlightenment programmes to reduce the spread of TB in relevant communities.
Internal Party Democracy and the Imperative of Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
Authors: Godwin Daniel
Published: August 2020

Parties are regarded as sine qua non for the organization of modern democracies, as well as for democratic consolidation. The literature that explains Nigeria’s democracy since 1999 depicts infractions and instability in party politics. It is in this context that this paper maintains that the major threat to democratic consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic is the absent of Internal Party Democracy (IPD). The inability of political parties to manage their internal fuss usually results in cases of defections, which portends negative consequences for democratic consolidation in Nigeria. The paper explains and provides some internal governing structures for political parties as offered by Simba. Consequently, the study historically gave an illustration of political parties in the previous republics by showing how they were bereft of internal party democracy. The paper finally calls for an urgent alternative to this kind of party politics, while the current practice should be jettisoned.
Pentecostal Prosperity and the Political Economy of Contemporary Nigeria
Authors: Krinsky Sam
Published: August 2020

This paper attempts to unravel the various strands of the prosperity gospel, the belief that personal material abundance should necessarily accompany Christian righteousness, as preached and practised in Nigeria. It offers explanation for the popularity of the prosperity gospel by examining ways in which it both reflects and critiques some of the most pressing moral and ideological contradictions confronting many Nigerians. The data are collected in the city of Ibadan through interviews of key informants, informal conversations with pastors and lay adherents, observation of Pentecostal services, and review of published audio, video and written material.
Social Dialogue Under Globalization in Nigeria: Does Democracy Add Value?
Authors: Onyeonoru Ifeanyi P. , Kester Kehinde
Published: August 2020

Social dialogue as an aspect of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) is aimed at promoting industrial democracy by encouraging consensus building among social partners in the work place. The significance lies, among others, in minimising conflicts to enable harmonious industrial relations. This study utilized specific case illustrations to examine the inclination of the Nigerian government towards social dialogue in government-labour relations, with particular reference to the Obasanjo era 1999-2007— a period associated with the globalization of democracy. The cases
included the minimum wage award 2000, University Autonomy Bill, the price deregulation of the downstream oil sector and the Trade Union Amendment Bill 2004. It was found that the government exhibited a penchant for authoritarianism in spite of the globalization of democracy. This was evident in the incapacity of the Obasanjo government to engage the social partners in social dialogue as indicated by the cases reviewed. The study, however, highlighted the modest contribution to social dialogue made by the wider democratic structure. It was concluded that the government had limited capacity for consensus building, accommodation of opposition and negotiated outcomes in government-labour relations
The Challenges of National Integration in Nigeria
Authors: Nweke Joshua O.
Published: August 2020

This paper interrogates the challenges of national integration in Nigeria. Several policies and programmes of government like harmonized state structure, establishment of National Youths Service Corps Scheme, Federal Character Commission have not been able to achieve the goal of unifying the peoples of Nigeria. The question is, what are the factors responsible for lack of unity, tribalism, nepotism, electoral malpractices, anarchy and social disorganisation, which are the bane of the Nigerian soda-political structure today? This paper provides answers to this question. It exposes the intricacies of national integration and seeks to x-ray the factors which hinder the realization of the dream of national integration and their possible alternatives. The identified alternatives deal with how to achieve the objective of national integration in Nigeria.

Authors: Owumi Bernard E. , Jerome Patricia Awa
Published: August 2020

This paper attempts to unravel the underpinning factors that-account for the upsurge of human trafficking in Edo State, Nigeria. The discourse is hinged on the Mertonian concept of innovation which explains the circumvention of societal mainstream values and employed as a circuit and routes to achieving societies collectively subscribed goals. The aims and objectives of the study include: identifying the changes in family structures that predispose parents to trafficking their children; examining the changes in family values that predispose parents to trafficking; discussing the perception of parents about trafficking their children and finally explaining the reasons for the
persistence of human trafficking despite attempts to curb it. Focus group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interview methods were used in collecting data. The study revealed that parents are predisposed to trafficking their children due to poverty, unemployment, greed, ignorance, illiteracy, polygyny, distortion of social values, ‘dysfunctional families among others.
A REVIEW OF USE CASES FOR BLOCKCHAIN IN THE MORTGAGE AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRIES
Authors: Schepman Steve
Published: August 2020

This paper contains field research on problems in mortgage and real estate transactions and a technological solution proposal for these issues. Interviews were conducted on players in the mortgage and real estate industries in Saint Louis, Missouri. These interviews led to conversations revealing systematic issues and trends in certain processes of mortgages and real estate transactions. Furthermore, a survey of 40+ year old homeowners and mortgage customers was conducted using Survey Monkey, which asked questions relating to customer dissatisfaction, bottlenecks and customer opinions of the mortgage process. These responses gave insight on what issues mattered to mortgage customers the most. Some descriptive statistics were derived from the survey results to help interpret them. A proposal for a blockchain based mortgage assistant platform is made at the end of the paper, which explains how blockchain, OCR and chatbots can potentially solve problems found in the survey.
The effect of the media in times of political distrust: the case of European countries
Authors: Memoli Vincenzo
Published: August 2020

No study has yet explored the effect of all communication tools on political trust. Instead, studies on the media and their relationship with trust in political institutions have tended to focus on just a few types and have yielded contradictory results. This study aims to fill this gap, considering – on the one hand – television, the press and radio, and – on the other – the Internet and online social networks. Given that forms of media inevitably suffer from political choice as well as the political system, we analyse the effect of the media on public political trust. Based on pool data gathered by Eurobarometers (2014–2017) and multi-level regression techniques, it is possible to state that, of the various forms of media, the press and the Internet have a very significant effect on public political trust, as does media freedom.

Published: August 2020

Primary osteosarcoma (OS) of the uterus is a distinctly rare and aggressive disease with fewer than 20 cases reported worldwide. We describe a case of primary uterine OS with rapid development of pulmonary and brain metastasis in a 50-year-old woman. Histopathologic examination of the uterine tumor showed atypical spindle cells producing an osteoid matrix with calcification in keeping with OS. Despite initial response to doxorubicin and ifosfamide, the patient succumbed to brain metastases just 8 months from diagnosis. Whole genome sequencing was performed on tumor and blood samples to analyze genetic alterations in this highly aggressive tumor. A pathogenic somatic missense mutation resulting in substitution of glutamate for lysine at position 653 within the protein kinase domain of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRB) was found. The PDGF pathway is involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis, and it has been implicated in malignancy. Crucially, this pathogenic mutation may be amenable to PDGFR tyrosine kinase inhibition, representing a possible treatment approach in this rare sarcoma.
When Molecular-Targeted Agents Meet Immunotherapy: The Opportunities for Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Authors: Wainsztein Vanina E. , Chen Tom W.
Published: August 2020

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) account for less than 1% of adult cancers with a median overall survival of 12 months in the metastatic setting. Although chemotherapy remains the standard of treatment for advanced disease, molecular targeted agents (MTAs) and immunotherapies are under intensive investigation in STS. The success of MTAs comes mainly from antiangiogenic agents in various STS subtypes, from colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibitor in tenosynovial giant cell tumor and neurotrophic tropomyocin receptor kinase (NTRK) inhibitors while others, such as cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4 inhibitors, remain under evaluation. In advanced STS the activity of single-agent immunotherapy was not paradigm-changing as in other tumor types. A better understanding of tumor microenvironment, the immunogenic properties of MTAs, and finding an optimal treatment combination to improve patients outcomes became a central topic of research and discussion. Furthermore, the development and incorporation of transcriptomic profiling-based classification will allow identification, refined patient selection, and guided-treatment assignment. This article reviewed recent advances in STS treatment in MTAs and immunotherapy, strategies to overcome resistance, and outcomes of combination treatments in different STS subtypes. Promising preliminary results from combination strategies have shed light on STS treatment. The increasing understanding of this heterogeneous group of tumors and its microenvironment biology may help develop and guide treatment strategies with MTA and immunotherapies, alone or in combination, in a tailored way based on predictive and validated biomarkers and tumor molecular profiling in this new coming era.
Early Diagnosis and Treatment of a Small Gastric Stromal Tumor – A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: LT Binh , NV Mao , TV Huy , NH Tri , LT Khoan
Published: August 2020

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and the stomach is the most affected site. Clinical manifestation is erratic depending on the tumor’s location, size, histological type, and stage. Ultrasound is useful in detecting gastric intramural tumor whereas computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice in further evaluating tumor characteristics and expansion, treatment planning, and monitoring recurrence. Definite diagnosis of GISTs is based on the immunohistochemical study. Early diagnosis and complete surgical resection of the tumor yield good long-term outcomes. We present a case of a small gastric GIST which was early detected and treated and the patient has tumor-free during 8 years of follow-up.

Interpretasi Sufistik dalam Al-Qur’an
Authors: Syatori Ahmad
Published: August 2020

Kajian ilmiah ini di dalamnya memuat berbagai ulasan tentang sisi tasawuf dan corak pola pemikiran ijtihad para sufistik dalam memahami isi kandungan makna al-Qur'an secara ishari melalui pendekatan-pendekatan intuitif. Sebagaimana kita ketahui, bahwa tafsir adalah merupakan instrumen alat pengetahuan yang mengkaji dan membahas tentang berbagai maqasid (maksud dan tujuan) yang terkandung dalam al-Qur’an sesuai dengan batasan kemampuan manusia melalui metode penafsiran dengan berbagai disiplin ilmu tafsir. Oleh karena itulah, tafsir adalah salah satu ilmu ushuludin yang paling pokok dan utama serta memiliki kedudukan yang sangat tinggi di antara ilmu-ilmu ushuludin lainnya. Sebab, objek kajian pembahasannya adalah wahyu  Allah. Adanya corak penafsiran yang beraneka-ragam adalah sebagai bukti akan kebebasan dalam penafsiran al-Quran. Namun demikian, tentu tetap dalam batas-batas koridor pakem aturan disiplin ilmu tafsir. Dalam dunia tafsir, corak-corak tafsir yang ada dan dikenal selama ini adalah corak bahasa, corak filasafat- teologi, corak penafsiran ilmiah, corak fiqih-tasawuf dan corak sastra budaya kemasyarakatan serta corak-corak lainnya. Seiring dengan perkembangan tasawuf dan alirannya, para sufi juga ikut berperan serta dan berpartisipasi dalam memberikan sumbangan dan kontribusi terhadap nilai-nilai ajaran Islam yang ada. Mereka berusaha menafsirkan al-Qur’an sesuai dengan faham tasawuf yang mereka anut, yaitu dengan menggunakan metode tafsir secara khusus yang disebut tafsir ishari atau tafsir sufi.  Pada umumnya, para ahli tafsir dalam rangka menafsirkan al-Qur'an secara tekstual lebih cenderung pada pemahaman-penahaman makna secara tersurat. Akan tetapi berbeda dengan kelaziman penafsiran para sufistik, mereka di samping memahami sisi al-Qur'an dari segi tekstual, juga lebih menekankan pada pemahaman batiniyah secara tersirat.
Diagnostic efficacy and suitability of trans-thoracic ultrasonography for pleural fluid detection – The future non-invasive gold-standard?
Authors: Irfan Muhammad , Qureshi Abdul Rasheed , Ashraf Zeeshan , Ramzan Muhammad Amjad , Naeem Tehmina , Bilal Huma
Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT

Background: Conventionally Pleural effusions are suspected by history of pleuritis, evaluated by physical signs and multiple view radiography. Trans-thoracic pleural aspiration is done and aspirated pleural fluid is considered the gold-standard for pleural effusion. Chest sonography has the advantage of having high diagnostic efficacy over radiography for the detection of pleural effusion. Furthermore, ultrasonography is free from radiation hazards, inexpensive, readily available  and feasible for use in ICU, pregnant and pediatric patients. This study aims to explore the diagnostic accuracy of trans-thoracic ultrasonography for pleural fluid detection, which is free of such disadvantages. The objective is to determine the diagnostic efficacy of trans-thoracic ultrasound for detecting pleural effusion and also to assess its suitability for being a non-invasive gold-standard.  

Subject and Methods: This retrospective study of 4597 cases was conducted at pulmonology  OPD-Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital, Lahore from November 2016 to July 2018. Adult patients with clinical features suggesting pleural effusions were included while those where no suspicion of pleural effusion, patients < 14 years and pregnant ladies were excluded. Patients were subjected to chest x-ray PA and Lateral views and chest ultrasonography was done by a senior qualified radiologist in OPD. Ultrasound-guided pleural aspiration was done in OPD & fluid was sent for analysis. At least 10ml aspirated fluid was considered as diagnostic for pleural effusion. Patient files containing history, physical examination, x-ray reports, ultrasound reports, pleural aspiration notes and informed consent were retrieved, reviewed and findings were recorded in the preformed proforma. Results were tabulated and conclusion was drawn by statistical analysis.

Results: Out of 4597 cases, 4498 pleural effusion were manifested on CXR and only 2547(56.62%) pleural effusions were proved by ultrasound while 2050 (45.57%) cases were reported as no Pleural effusion. Chest sonography demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy 100 % each.

Conclusions: Trans-thoracic ultrasonography revealed an excellent efficacy that is why it can be considered as non-invasive gold standard for the detection of pleural effusion.

This new modality can detect LV dysfunction in severe rheumatic mitral regurgitation (MR) at earlier stages. The present study was conducted to compare tissue doppler derived peak systolic strain between patients with different severities of LV dysfunction in rheumatic severe MR and to look for the negative correlation between LV dysfunction and peak systolic strain.

Subjects and methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted from January 2017 to March 2018 at Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. Fifty healthy controls taken as group-I and 150 asymptomatic patients of rheumatic severe MR were divided into Group-II (with ejection fraction (EF) ≥60% and left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVESD) ≤40mm), Group-III (with EF≥ 60% and LVESD 41-50mm) and Group-IV (with EF <60%).Longitudinal peak systolic strain (PSS) of the groups were measured by tissue doppler imaging and compared. The correlation between systolic dysfunction and PSS was further studied.

Results: Out of 200 subjects, 91(45.5%) were male and 109 (54.5%) female. Mean age of study subjects was 31± 9.5 years. Moving from group-I to group-IV, mean LVESD increased from 23.3±2.4 to 49.3±3.0, mean LVEDD (left ventricle end diastolic dimension) increased from 46.4±3.4to 64.0±3.6, ejection fraction decreased from 63.6±2.1to45.7±6.7 and average PSS decreased from 17.8±0.53 to 8.31±0.52.Significant difference was found in average PSS between these groups (p<0.001).There was a significant (p<0.001)negative correlation (correlation coefficient = -0.968) between average PSS and LV dysfunction (i.e. group number).

Conclusion: Inrheumatic severe mitral regurgitation, tissue doppler derived peak systolic strain decreases with increase of LV dysfunction showing a significant negative correlation between the two.

ABSTRACT

Background: Hearing impairment during early life years have profound negative consequences on linguistic output, educational, psychosocial and physical functioning. Auditory perception plays a key role in the development of child. Severely hearing-impaired children receiving cochlear implant (CI) before the age of speech and language acquisition may enjoy their quality of life similar to their normally hearing peers. Considering the beneficial effects of CI on quality of life of hearing-impaired child, it is evident to properly investigate the similarity in life quality of children with CI and their normal hearing mates of same age group.

Patients and Method: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on parents of 50 children, who were allocated in two equal groups by purposive sampling. The questionnaire was administered by interviewing the parent participants using a validated quality of life questionnaire of Children for Parents and findings were compared with the responses from parents of normal hearing children. Responses from both the groups were analyzed by independent sample t-test.

Results: Parents of Cochlear Implanted children rated their children’s Health Related Quality of Life positively. All the sub domains showed the similar results except self-esteem. Findings suggest that normally hearing children had better self-esteem than CI children. No significant difference was found between overall Health Related Quality of Life of Cochlear Implanted children and their normally hearing peers.

Conclusion: Overall health related quality of life of children with cochlear implant is similar to that of normal hearing peers of same chronological age.

Навигационное обеспечение групповых операций морских робототехнических комплексов (МРК) предполагает одновременное (в рамках одного цикла работы навигационной системы) уточнение местоположения всех объектов МРК. Широко распространенная гидроакустическая навигационная система с длинной базой (ГАНС ДБ) не позволяет решить задачу, поскольку предполагает поочередную работу с объектами МРК. В работе рассмотрена задача обеспечения навигации объектов МРК при помощи разностно-дальномерной навигационной системы (РД НС). Исследованы два навигационных алгоритма, реализующих переборный и аналитический методы решения разностно-дальномерной задачи. Предложен метод применения РД НС с адаптивной конфигурацией для навигации объектов МРК в зоне акустической тени. Выполнены эксперименты, включающие компьютерное моделирование описанных алгоритмов и работу РД НС в натурных морских условиях, которые подтвердили работоспособность и необходимую точность разрабатываемой РД НС.

Navigation guidance support of group operations of marine robotic complexes (MRC) assumes simultaneous (in the frames of one navigation cycle) positioning of all the objects of MRC. Widely used long-baseline underwater acoustic navigation system (LBL UANS) is not able to solve this problem, as it works with objects of the MRC sequentially. This paper investigates the problem of navigation guidance support of the MRC objects using a hyperbolic navigation system (HB NS). Two navigation algorithms that implement direct-search and analytical methods for solving difference-angefinding tasks are studied. The method of implementing HB NS with adaptive configuration was proposed for navigating the MRC objects in the acoustic shadow zone. The designed HB NS has undergone several experiments, including computer modeling of described algorithms and full-scale sea trials of the entire system operation, and thus proved its working capacity and the required accuracy.

Использование буксируемого поверхностного модуля радиосвязи (ПМР) позволяет организовать высокоскоростной канал связи поста управления с автономным подводным роботом (АПР), а также значительно упростить его навигационное обеспечение. При этом возмущения от кабеля связи, действующие на АПР и ПМР, будут в значительной степени влиять на характеристики движения такой привязной системы. В работе методами компьютерного моделирования исследуются силовые воздействия кабеля связи на буксировке, а также их влияние на движение аппарата в установившихся режимах и по типовым траекториям маневрирования. Для установившихся значений глубины погружения и скорости хода АПР определена длина кабеля связи, обеспечивающая минимальное силовое воздействие от буксировки на аппарат. Предложена комплексная модель системы управления движением подводной привязной системы, учитывающая динамику АПР и кабеля связи. Разработана кинематическая модель поведения ПМР, определяющая его заглубление и гидродинамическое сопротивление при буксировке. Приведены результаты моделирования движения привязной системы по типовым траекториям, характерным для обзорно-поисковых АПР, которые позволяют оценить дополнительные требования к тяговым характеристикам движительно-рулевого комплекса аппарата, а также к необходимому запасу плавучести ПМР.

Utilization of the towed surface radiocommunication module (SRM) allows organizing a high-speed communication channel between the control station and autonomous underwater robot/autonomous underwater vehicle (AUR/AUV), as well as significantly simplify its navigation guidance support. Herewith, the disturbances from communication cable effects on AUV and SRM, and heavily influences the motion characteristics of such a tethered system. This paper studies force actions of communication wire on towage and its influence on vehicle motion along standard maneuvering trajectories in steady-state modes using computer modeling. The length of communication cable providing minimal force actions on the vehicle from towing was determined for steady values of submersion depth and movement speed of the AUV. The integrated model of the motion control system of the underwater tethered system was proposed taking into account the dynamic of AUV and communication cable. The kinematic model of SRM behavior was designed to determine its submersion depths and hydrodynamic resistance while being towed. Acquired and demonstrated results of the tethered system motion modeling along standard trajectories typical for search operations allow estimating additional requirements for thrust characteristics of the propulsion/steering unit of the vehicle, as well as the necessary buoyance reserve of the SRM.

COVID-19 shows an extremely rapid spreading pattern, classified as SARS-CoV-2, has become a worldwide health problem. Relating to biological characteristics of SARS-CoV-2, the new viral agent was comprehensively summarized in order to optimize the date research on this novel disease and make adequate therapeutic decisions. The structure of COVID-19 virus is partially similar to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV and to date, the origin is not clearly ruled out in detail. COVID-19 in general shows, without any adequate measurement, an exponential reproductive rate, an incubation of nearly 14 days. The clinical appearance and the pandemic spread of COVID-19 were very similar to earlier SARS epidemics. The occurrence of SARS-CoV-2; previously provisionally referred to as novel coronavirus 2019 or 2019-nCoV (COVID-19) in China in late 2019, has induced a global spreading and is a worldwide public health problem. At the end of January 2020, the World Health Organization described COVID-19 as the sixth international public health emergency. SARS-CoV-2 is similar to severe corona viruses similar to acute respiratory syndrome of bat origin, bat-SL-CoVZC45 and bat-SL-CoVZXC21. The transmission is based on by human-to-human transmission via droplets or direct contact or stool, whereas the infection seems to have an incubation period of up to 14 days and a reproduction rate of 2.24-3.58. In patients with SARS-CoV-2-induced pneumonia, fever was the prominent symptom in these patients followed by cough. Currently, stopping the rapid spreading of SARS-CoV-2 is the primary intervention in health care management. However, health authorities should continue to monitor the situation closely.

It is a well-established fact that the travel, hospitality, and leisure industry is heavily reliant on external financing to fund their fixed assets component. Thus, firms may increase or decrease their debt levels depending on their financing needs. We examine the association between
changes in leverage and economic performance of a firm and contend that changes in leverage contain information about the performance of firms and hence are value relevant. Using a sample of 164 listed US firms, we observe that change s in leverage are indeed value relevant. Additionally,
given that the level of capital intensity varies significantly within the various subsector groups in the industry, we also investigate the value effects of changes in leverage in the sub sectors.

Published: August 2020

В статье приводится описание закономерностей реализации эмотивов (лексические единицы, содержащие указания на эмоции в своей семантике) в англоязычном медийном тексте общественно-политической тематики. Показано, что, в отличие от сложившихся представлений, в англоязычном газетном/журнальном тексте общественно-политической тематики присутствует значительное количество лексических единиц, обозначающих эмоции и эмоциональные состояния. Проведенный анализ позволяет сделать вывод о том, что в изученном языковом материале присутствуют указания как на отрицательные, так и на положительные эмоции, а также эмоционально-интеллектуальные реакции и паралингвистические проявления, сопровождающие эмоции. Новым результатом проведенного исследования является демонстрация того, что эмотивы выполняют текстоформирующую функцию и реализуются в тексте в сочетании с другими элементами общего фрейма «эмоции». Эмотивы, зафиксированные в англоязычном газетном/журнальном тексте, могут быть классифицированы на основании принадлежности ядерным или периферийным участкам фрейма «эмоции» тех фреймовых структур, в которые они входят.

The aim of the article is to describe the patterns of realization of emotives (lexical units containing indications of emotions in their semantics) in the English-language media texts of social and political subject-matter. It is shown that there are a significant number of lexical units denoting emotions and emotional states in the English-language newspaper and magazine texts of social and political subject-matter. The analysis allows us to conclude that there are indications of both negative and positive emotions, as well as emotional and intellectual reactions and paralinguistic manifestations that accompany emotions in the studied language material. A new result of the study is a demonstration that emotives perform a text-forming function and are realized in combination with other elements of the general frame of “emotions”. Emotives in an English-language newspaper/magazine text can be classified on the basis of their relation to the nuclear or peripheral sections of the frame “emotions” of the frame structures in which they are included.
