Smartphone Addiction and Personality: Review of International Research
Authors: Sheinov Viktor P.
Published: April 2021

Mobile phones are perhaps the most popular digital devices that accompany us all the time. Smartphones certainly provide us with many conveniences but at the same time these devices are the reason why many users develop a pathological condition known as nomophobia or smartphone addiction, i. e., fear of losing phone contact or being away from network coverage. Many people, especially teenagers and children, cannot imagine their life without smartphones and try never to part with them. Phone addicts, due to the fact that their attention is constantly riveted to the smartphone screen, cannot efficiently study, do work thoughtfully and productively, establish relationships with others and, in general, live a full-fledged life. Smartphone addiction is a new phenomenon, one of the most widespread non-medical addictions, which in its scale has already left behind Internet addiction and addiction to gambling, forming a dangerous conglomerate with them. Numerous studies show that smartphone addiction has a detrimental effect on many important aspects of modern life. The purpose of this article is to provide an analytical review of international studies on the relationship between smartphone addiction and psychological and socio-psychological characteristics of personality. The choice of international studies as the initial data for the analysis was made due to the fact that it was in them (much earlier than in Russian ones) that the largest number of empirical results were obtained, which are of significant theoretical and practical interest. The number of Russian studies on this topic is much smaller, while many of them were carried out on small samples or were only discussions of international research results. Thus, it can be stated that the extensive information accumulated by international researcher on the dependence on smartphones is used insufficiently in Russian scientific community. The smartphone addiction is positively associated with such negative factors as depression, anxiety, stress, decreased self-esteem and self-control, sleep and health problems, low quality of life and dissatisfaction with it, family problems, poor school performance and the danger of becoming a victim of cyberbullying. Much higher smartphone addiction is typical of younger users. Assessments of smartphone dependence are positively correlated with being female, with smoking and consuming alcohol. A serious obstacle to relevant Russian research was the lack of Russian-language measuring instruments. To eliminate this obstacle, the author adapted and validated The Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) by M. Kwon et al. for the Russian-speaking society, and developed a reliable and valid Short Version of the Smartphone Addiction Questionnaire. In Russian studies on smartphone addiction, the results obtained on international samples can serve as basis for working hypotheses as well as initial data in cross-cultural research.

Published: April 2021

The research considers the problem of regulatory resources of the personal life plans in uncertain and unpredictable situations on the material of the COVID-19 pandemic spread in the world and in Russia. The study was conducted during a lockdown in Russia, in an online format, with the help of the Tilda Publishing block website builder and the Google Forms survey administration software. The study sample included 165 respondents aged 16 to 56 years. The Self-regulation Profile Questionnaire - SRPQM 2020 , The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, CES-D , and the authors questionnaire which includes a number of questions related to personal life plans and professional/educational curriculum were used for diagnose. The study results demonstrated that the higher conscious self-regulation development is associated with the higher person's clarity and understanding of the future plans, the more stable career path (including professional and educational goals), and the less actual depressive symptoms. And vice versa: the low level of the conscious self-regulation development correlates with the difficulties with considering the life plans, the fickleness of professional and educational goals, being affected by external factors, and with the pronounced actual manifestations of depression. The data obtained contribute to the development of ideas about the conscious self-regulation phenomenon and human regulatory resources ensuring stability of the personal life plans in situations of uncertainty and serving as a buffer that softens the impact of external stress factors and neutralizes their possible negative consequences.

Authors: Polyakov Nikita A. , Yarkina Natalia V. , Samouylov Konstantin E.
Published: April 2021

Efficient allocation of radio access network (RAN) resources remains an important challenge with the introduction of 5G networks. RAN virtualization and division into logical subnetworks - slices - puts this task into a new perspective. In the paper we present a software tool based on the OMNeT++ platform and developed for performance analysis of a network slicing policy with SLA-based slice performance isolation. The tool is designed using the object-oriented approach, which provides flexibility and extensibility of the simulation model. The paper briefly presents the slicing policy under study and focuses on the simulators architecture and design. Numerical results are provided for illustration.
Levels of anxiety and coping with stress in healthcare workers during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
Authors: DENİZ ÖZTURAN Deniz , KELEŞ ŞAHİN Asena
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate anxiety levels and stress coping strategies of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: Data were collected with an online survey using SurveyMonkey application. The research population comprised doctors and other medical staff living in different provinces in Turkey. The online surveys were completed by 354 healthcare workers. Demographic characteristics, severity of clinical anxiety symptoms and coping attitudes of the participants were analyzed. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Stress Coping Strategies Scale were used.Results: The BAI scores of doctors were lower than those of the other healthcare workers (p = 0.037). When compared in terms of depression categories, the two groups were found to be similar (p = 0.060). The levels of coping with stress were similar. The BAI scores of women were significantly higher (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Healthcare workers were observed to mostly develop positive coping attitudes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study suggest that the stress caused by the outbreak involves excessive load on healthcare workers psychologically.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: The aim of the current study was to determine the self-efficacy and the medical adherence levels of the patients with type 2 diabetes and related factors in primary care.Methods: This was a descriptive study which was conducted in a family health center in Istanbul between February 2020 and May 2020. Information was collected from the patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. A sociodemographic questionnaire form, Self-Efficacy Scale and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale were applied to participants face-to-face. Results: Two hundred and seven patients were included. Mean age of the participants was 59.05±10.74 years. Sixty percent of them were women, 85.0% were over 50 years, 69.9% had an additional disease, about half of them were diagnosed with diabetes for 10 years or more. It was found that individuals with diabetes had a median self-efficacy score of 72(64-79). The self-efficacy scores were higher in patients with normal BMI, those without additional disease and those with high physical activity level (p=0.004, p= 0.038, p=0.002 respectively). The medication adherence level was found medium in 174 (84.1%) of the patients. As the age increased medication adherence also tended to increase, and the adherence of people with normal BMI was higher (p=0.019 and p= 0.026 respectively).Conclusion: The self-efficacy and medical adherence of the diabetic patients participated in the current study were found to be at medium levels. It is understood that steps are needed to improve patients' self-efficacy levels and to increase their compliance with treatment.
EXERCÍCIOS ESPIRITUAIS E REGIMES ATENCIONAIS FRAGMENTÁRIOS
Authors: Gonçalves de Lima Caio Vinícius
Published: April 2021

O objetivo do presente artigo é, a partir da concepção grega de Prosokhé (atenção) como veículo da ascese, conceito explorado por Pierre Hadot em seu livro “Exercícios Espirituais: de Sócrates a Foucault”, tentar traçar a relação entre as práticas dos Exercícios Espirituais e a formação estética da afetividade e das faculdades mentais (pensamento, memória e atenção). Investiga-se como a escola formal contemporânea, em sua interrelação com o mundo, especificamente o mundo do trabalho, contribui para a formação dos regimes atencionais, o que se buscará evidenciar pela exposição de normas, práticas e estatísticas próprias do universo educacional. O método de exposição e arguição ora utilizado é pautado na exploração dos conceitos apresentados e sua relação com os fatos históricos.
POSICIONAMENTO AXIOLÓGICO DAS CONCEPÇÕES DE DIVULGAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA
Authors: Fetter Giselle Liana
Published: April 2021

A divulgação científica tem recebido interesse de muitos pesquisadores da Linguística, que a estudam a partir de diferentes teorias. No Brasil, vários trabalhos dessa área apresentam os argumentos de que os cientistas veem esses gêneros como “distorção” do discurso científico, mas não demonstram dados que comprovem tal afirmação. Assim, este trabalho busca investigar as concepções de divulgação científica com base nos preceitos do Círculo de Bakhtin, analisando o discurso de dois artigos publicados em periódicos científicos no Brasil. Ao considerar a perspectiva do cientista, pode-se compreender se a visão dominante da ciência seria uma realidade na divulgação científica desse país e incentivar, ainda mais, o protagonismo das universidades na produção desses gêneros do discurso.
APROXIMAÇÕES ENTRE UNIVERSIDADE E ESCOLA: RACISMO EM DISCUSSÃO

Published: April 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as experiências do 7° Ciclo de Cinema e Diversidade, em duas Escolas Municipais do Rio de Janeiro, uma localizada na Zona Norte e outra na Zona Sul da cidade, em turmas do 8º e 9º ano, com o tema Racismo. Apoiando-se numa perspectiva ampla da inclusão, baseamos esta ação extensionista na reflexão sobre assuntos atuais que são negligenciados, mas que devem ser abordados de maneira dialógica nas escolas. A partir dos relatos dos estudantes, percebemos que a luta coletiva por uma educação antirracista é fundamental e só será efetivada se, no lugar de silenciamentos, omissões, opressões e dores, promovermos ações pedagógicas inclusivas, reflexivas e participativas, para que os privilégios sejam repensados e os preconceitos sejam eliminados.

Published: April 2021

O presente artigo pautou-se na questão: como vem se organizando o campo da educação especial na perspectiva da inclusão em educação à luz da proposta de “atualização” por parte do governo federal brasileiro, da Política Nacional da Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva? Apresentamos um breve panorama do campo da educação especial, seguido da discussão sobre políticas nacionais e internacionais que embasam essa modalidade de ensino. Discutimos que as propostas com relação à atualização da atual PNEEPEI, apresentam-se como um retrocesso para o campo da inclusão em educação, tendo em vista a ausência de diálogo e participação da sociedade em sua elaboração. Além disso, foram apontados alguns desafios para a formação de professores para esse campo.Palavras-chaves: Educação Especial. Inclusão em Educação. Políticas de Inclusão.

Published: April 2021

Este ensaio é uma análise fílmica de “Quem foi que disse: sobre a vida e o viver”, primeiro de uma série de filmes do diretor Luiz Antonio Botelho Andrade. Para tanto é estabelecida a categoria de análise “cinema aula”, a qual define o cinema do diretor como uma experiência de prática-teórica de construção-reconstrução-celebração do objeto de conhecimento no fazer cinema. Assim, o filme é compreendido na sua ontologia (é uma investigação de um tema de interesse), epistemologia (trabalha os elementos do problema para que eles exponham o que guardam) e pedagogia (constitui uma experiência coletiva de construção-reconstrução-celebração do conhecimento).

O PRINCÍPIO EDUCATIVO DO TRABALHO NA FORMAÇÃO HUMANA: UNA SPACCATURA STORICA
Authors: Nosella Paolo
Published: April 2021

O texto comprova a afirmação de Pasolini: “A ‘esquerda’ é objetivamente dividida por uma grande spaccatura [divisão] histórica que separa os defensores da cultura humanista dos defensores da subcultura tecnológica”. Pasolini traduz a proposta de Gramsci para o contexto social da segunda metade do século XX, afirmando que só uma “cultura extrema” libertará o proletariado (o lumpemproletariado, os subalternos, o povaréu, a ralé) de sua “extrema” opressão. O trabalho como princípio educativo refere-se à história em movimento, articulando dois lados complementares: o econômico e o político.

HISTÓRIA, MEMÓRIA E EDUCAÇÃO DOS REMANESCENTES QUILOMBOLAS DE BOA ESPERANÇA - PARÁ
Authors: Pinto Benedita Celeste de Moraes , De Pinho Vilma Aparecida , Grando Beleni Saléte
Published: April 2021

O estudo analisa como tem ocorrido o processo educativo na povoação remanescente de quilombolas de Boa Esperança, norte da Amazônia, tendo como base as narrativas partilhadas por seus moradores. A partir de uma abordagem de cunho qualitativo, baseada em estudos etnográficos, coleta e análise de relatos orais e histórias de vida, a pesquisa permitiu inferir que, no que tange aos desdobramentos da lei 11.645/2008, os elementos culturais da referida povoação não perpassam as práticas escolares, tão pouco nas relações que se estabelecem dentro e fora do espaço escolar, não havendo, assim, articulação entre cultura local e o processo educacional.

“MULHERES DOS ESCOMBROS”: A CONDIÇÃO DAS MULHERES PERIFÉRICAS EM TEMPOS DE CATÁSTROFES
Authors: Nunes Gonçalves Scheilla
Published: April 2021

A pesquisa procura estabelecer nexos entre o atual aumento da violência sexista e os fundamentos constitutivos do patriarcado capitalista. Parte da compreensão do fenômeno histórico da caça às bruxas como crime fundador das particularidades do patriarcado na modernidade e objetiva contribuir para uma crítica da lógica destrutiva da abstração real própria da sociedade produtora de mercadorias que subjuga o concreto-sensível e forja o “progresso” através das promessas de uma ciência universal dominadora e androcêntrica. Busca articular uma teoria da crise do patriarcado capitalista, ancorada na crítica do valor-dissociação, com a apreensão das expressões do colapso da modernização na periferia do capitalismo, problematizando as hierarquias sociais que definem os que ficam à sombra do valor. Pretende pensar a violência sexista, o racismo e a criminalização da pobreza na condição das mulheres periféricas em tempos de catástrofes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa teórica que busca demonstrar a relevância de superar elaborações imediatistas, centradas na lógica da identidade com esta forma social, para empreender uma crítica radical do tempo presente à altura do aprofundamento da barbárie que ele evidencia. Argumenta, portanto, que o enfrentamento da violência sexista (e também racista) na atualidade, tende a ser inócuo na medida em que se mantiver restrito aos termos da reafirmação de suas estruturas constitutivas – que diante do colapso em curso se mantêm ao mesmo tempo em que explicitamente desmoronam.
A RELAÇÃO ENTRE MOVIMENTO FEMINISTA E PARTIDOS POLÍTICOS NO BRASIL NO CONTEXTO DE ACIRRAMENTO DA CRISE CAPITALISTA, 2008-2017
Authors: Barbosa da Silva Pereira Célia
Published: April 2021

Este estudo analisa como tem se expressado a relação entre movimentos feministas e partidos políticos de esquerda no Brasil, no período entre 2008 a 2017, contexto de acirramento da crise capitalista mundial. A partir de um estudo de caso sobre a forma como essa relação tem sido construída por três movimentos feministas de expressão nacional, quais sejam: a Marcha Mundial das Mulheres (MMM), a Articulação de Mulheres Brasileiras (AMB) e o Movimento de Mulheres Camponesas (MMM), apontamos tendências contemporâneas apresentadas pelos movimentos feministas sobre suas relações políticas com os partidos de esquerda. Nossa hipótese era de que, no contexto de acirramento da crise capitalista, a relação entre movimentos sociais e partidos políticos do campo da esquerda estaria se fortalecendo, no sentido de uma maior aproximação indicando organicidade. Assim, tendo em vista as particularidades do cenário nacional, propomos a tese de que, no Brasil, a relação atual entre movimentos feministas e partidos políticos de esquerda sinaliza uma relação de novo tipo, baseada na compreensão dos movimentos sociais de que são sujeitos políticos e cumprem a mesma função dos partidos no direcionamento da luta política da classe trabalhadora. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa utilizou-se de: levantamento bibliográfico para a construção do referencial teórico e compreensão histórica do objeto de estudo; pesquisa documental realizada em sites da MMM, da AMB e do MMC e entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com quatorze militantes de referência para esses movimentos, para coleta de dados; e análise do discurso para compreensão dos dados. Os resultados apontam para a sustentação da tese. Os movimentos estudados no contexto da crise capitalista aproximaram-se mais de partidos políticos do campo da esquerda, estabelecendo uma relação de organicidade, principalmente com a Consulta Popular e o Partido dos Trabalhadores. Essa relação é fundamentada na compreensão de que a transformação social só poderá ser levada a cabo por meio de luta antissistêmica que articule as dimensões do gênero/sexo, da raça/etnia e da classe. O mote “sem feminismo não haverá socialismo” indica o entendimento desses movimentos de que uma sociedade mais igualitária deve se alicerçar na luta pela emancipação da classe trabalhadora, mas também atentar para as especificidades da emancipação da mulher.

Irritable Bowel and Bacterial Overgrowth Syndromes: a Bacterial Link Hypothesis of Functional Disease
Authors: Ivashkin K. V. , Grechishnikova V. R. , Reshetova M. S. , Ivashkin V. T.
Published: April 2021

Aim. Assessment of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth syndrome (SIBO) interlinkage.

Key points. SIBO may represent a "peripheral" mechanism of IBS, aside to nonspecific inflammation, increased epithelial permeability and local immune system activation. In various assays, the SIBO rate in IBS patients was 4-46% vs. 0-13% in an intact cohort. A limited diagnosability of SIBO obscures the SIBO-IBS causal interplay. Impaired motility in IBS may predispose to the SIBO development. Proinflammatory cytokines and mediators in SIBO, in turn, provoke visceral hypersensitivity and intense motility, the key IBS factors. Both conditions relate to qualitative and quantitative changes in microbiota, which warrants the application of probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains.

Conclusion. Further research into the SIBO-IBS interface is required for developing optimal probiotic-based therapies.
Changes in streamflow regimes and their response to different soil and water conservation measures in Loess Plateau watersheds
Authors: Zhang Shuyu , Zhao Guangju , Mu Xingmin , Tian Peng
Published: April 2021

Investigating the changes in streamflow regimes is useful for
understanding the mechanisms associated with hydrological processes in
different watersheds and for providing information to facilitate water
resources management. In this study, we selected three watersheds, i.e.,
Sandu River, Hulu River, and Dali River on the Loess Plateau, to examine
the changes in the streamflow regimes and to determine their responses
to different soil and water conservation measures (terracing,
afforestation, and damming). The daily runoff was collected continuously
by three hydrological gauges close to the outlets of the three
watersheds from 1965 to 2016. The eco-surplus, eco-deficit, and degree
of hydrological change were assessed to detect hydrological alterations.
The Budyko water balance equation was applied to estimate the potential
impacts of climate change and human activities on the hydrological
regime changes. Significant decreasing trends (P < 0.05) were
detected in the annual streamflow in the Sandu and Dali River
watersheds, but not in the Hulu River watershed where afforestation
dominated. The annual eco-surplus levels were low and they decreased
slightly at three stations, whereas the eco-deficit exhibited dramatic
increasing trends in the Sandu and Dali River watersheds. In the Sandu
River watershed (dominated by terraces), the runoff exhibited the most
significant reduction and the eco-deficit was the highest among the
three watersheds. The integral degrees of hydrological change were
higher in the Sandu River watershed than the other two watersheds,
thereby suggesting substantial variations in the magnitude, duration,
frequency, timing, and rate of change in the daily streamflow. In the
Dali River watershed (dominated by damming), the changes in the extreme
flow were characterized by a decreasing number appearing in high flow.
In these watersheds, human activities accounted for 74.1% and 91.78%
of the runoff reductions, respectively. In the Hulu River watershed
(dominated by afforestation), the annual runoff exhibited an
insignificant decreasing trend but with a significant increase in the
low flow duration. Rainfall changes accounted for 64.30% of the runoff
reduction.
Advancing Efficient and Timely Community Access to SARS-CoV-2 Serology Testing in Europe: a Multi-stakeholder Consensus
Authors: Cantón Rafael , Delaugerre Constance , Jallow Wame , Liebert Uwe Gerd , Villegas Julieta
Published: April 2021

Background: Currently there is no clear consensus on the use,
value, benefits, and impact of serology testing as part of a
comprehensive SARS-CoV-2 testing strategy. The lack of clarity on the
use of this strategy in policies and guidelines may have serious
implications on the efforts to curb the pandemic. The aim of this paper
is to elaborate an experts and community consensus on the use of
serology testing as an effective method to respond to and mitigate the
impact of the pandemic. The recommendations herein can help build
community awareness and guide advocacy strategies.

Methods: A desk review was conducted to inform a working
document that was subject to a multistage process of validation and
feedback by a group of renowned experts. The multi-stakeholder group of
experts, representing the European and international levels, convened to
inform and validate the recommendations.

Results: The consensus offered eight policy recommendations
organized in two main themes. The first group of recommendations
provides guidance on the role and value of serology testing to contain
and understand the COVID-19 pandemic. The second group targets health
system strengthening aspects necessary to support the appropriate
delivery of serology testing.

Conclusions: Recommendations seek to indicate how SARS-CoV-2
serology testing may positively impact national health systems, country
economies and local communities. The pertinence of the recommendations
is to communities in Europe, and beyond, and relevant to multiple
stakeholders. Given the rapidly changing scenario, this set of
recommendations should be considered a live document.

The articulation of humanism is a recurrent theme in various Chinese
literature and arts over the history. One of such well-known cases is
the classic novel Journey to the West (Xi you ji) dates from the 16 th
Century which stresses the issues of freedom, fighting with the
authorities, the loss of belief, and the importance of self-direction.
Various adapted versions from this novel popular over since then which
hinted strong desire to humanism expression under China’s tight central
governance. The recent interpretation of nationwide impacted products is
an online novel The Wu Kong’s Biography (Wukong zhuan, written by Zeng
Yu, pseudonym Jin Hezai, 2000) which adding the ambitions to challenge
the authorities, an imaginary compensation of the young people in China
(Liao, 2017). The great popularity of the novel leads to the release of
its film version Wu Kong in 2017. Even the theme song of this movie
“Equaling Heaven” (music and sung by Hua Chenyu, lyrics by Jin Hezai)
brings a real hit in Chinese popular music scene. It was performed by
Tibetan singer Zahi Bingzuo, the 2017 winner of The Voice of China in
his final song-battle in that show (Qian, 2017: 57-8) and then Hua
Chenyu in the TV talent show Singer (Geshou) in 2018. The humanism
articulation of the song, same as in the novels and movie, shown well in
the song: When I were young and wild, were worthy of it, who would give
me a belief? …I could still smile before dawn… ignore the
fate decided by the god and I would say the fate follows my heart. 1
Humanist articulations are part of a trend in Chinese pop song that
dates back to the 1980s, when that genre first reappeared as an
indigenous entertainment genre within China itself. As a transitional
phrase during which multiple pre-existing and newly emerging social

Characterizations of special clean elements and applications
Authors: Mary Xavier , Patrício Pedro
Published: April 2021

We prove that special clean decompositions of a given element of a ring are
in one-to-one correspondence with the set of solutions of a simple equation
in a corner ring. We then derive ?constructive? proofs that in many rings,
regular elements are special clean by solving this equation in specific
cases. Other applications, such as uniqueness of decompositions, are given.
Many examples of special clean decompositions of 2-2 matrices found by this
methodology are also presented.
Overcoming methodological dogmatism in social sciences: Triangulation, multimethod, and mixed methods
Authors: Vidicki Vladan , Stojsin Snezana
Published: April 2021

For the longest time, quantitative and qualitative methods have been
considered opposing and mutually exclusive categories within the methodology
of social science. This is best showcased by the conflicts arising between
the proponents of these differing approaches - conflicts that are often
characterized by an air of methodological dogmatism. The term
?methodological dogmatism? refers to the conviction of researchers in the
superiority of their own approach, while delegitimizing any other. The main
purpose of this paper is to outline the contemporary theoretical possibities
of overcoming said dogmatism, and the three most prevalent approaches
(triangulation, multimethod and mixed methods) will be presented
accordingly. The goal is to identify the continuity of the ideas referring
to the integration of qualitative and quantitative methodology, as well as
to highlight the characterstics, advantages and drawbacks of each method.
The paper concludes that the choice of method should be based on the nature
of the research problem at hand, and that the combining of methods can serve
as a useful tool for understanding and encompassing the full complexity of
phenomena which are at the heart of social research.
The impact of intergroup emotions on reconciliation
Authors: Jevtic Milos
Published: April 2021

In this article, the author is illustrating the importance of emotions in
establishing better intergroup relations. Specifically, intergroup emotions
(based on the individual?s identification with the group) have the potential
to end, but also to stimulate intergroup conflict. The first part of the
article is focused on theoretical foundations of intergroup emotions. In the
second part of the article, specific conflict-related emotions are examined,
followed by illustrations of emotional regulation models regarding
facilitation of intergroup reconciliation. In the end, broader factors that
influence intergroup emotions are taken into consideration, with an emphasis
on consequences regarding political action.
Tom Jones : A Subaltern Critique
Authors: Sharma Dr. Shreeja Tripathi
Published: April 2021

Henry Feilding’s Tom Jones offers a picture of  English society during the imperial times through a thought-provoking scrutiny of the marginalised voices and indirectly subverts the imperial authority of oppression. Fielding’s defining work which notably laid the foundation of the English novel has often been implored for nuances of morality and sin.

This research paper explores the novel as a prelude to the postmodern  subaltern voice against the dominion of the social and economically elite through the emancipatory empowerment of the roguish foundling hero of the picaresque tradition: Tom Jones.  The paper seeks to establish the relevance of Tom Jones for the  readers of the so- called Third World, as it offers a glimpse into the subaltern aspects of identity of the coloniser. In this context, this paper evaluates the narrative of Fielding’s Tom Jones with reference to two key concerns: exposition of the oppressive power structure and revelation of marginalised oppressed.

This social distancing has disrupted several activities in various fields, especially in the field of education. The paper done refers to 10 current articles in 2020 that discuss current problems, with the COVID-19 impact of online learning using Systematic Literature Review method. The review process of these 10 articles was classified into 3 sub-topic groups. Based on the studies that had been carried out, the result of online learning in the COVID-19 pandemic era has greatly accelerated the growth of online learning which eases the teaching and learning process. However, if it is judged by the changes in the students’ attitudes, the system shows more of negative sides. Therefore, there should be an evaluation related to the online learning by the government.Keywords: Covid-19, online learning, Systematic Literature Review (SLR)

In this paper, the main sources of available drinking water and the spatial distribution of medicinal waters in the Tuzla Canton are analyzed. The focus of the paper is on the use of available drinking water and the exploitation of medicinal waters in this area. The paper describes the available quantities of drinking water, water needs and potential available quantities in the municipalities of Tuzla Canton. The conducted research indicates a lack of drinking water in this area. In order to improve the water supply of the population with drinking water in this area, it was pointed out that longterm systemic solution to the problem of drinking water shortage must be considered. Exploitation and use of medicinal water for tourist and medical purposes is done on a smaller scale. For the adequate application of medicinal waters in the work, it was also pointed out that it is necessary to improve the material basis, which primarily refers to the accommodation facilities and medical equipment in spas. The paper presents theoretical and practical research of spatial distribution of water resources and their use. The analysis of water resources presents their economic value and proposes guidelines for further use and protection.

A large number of floodplains got lost due to settlements, infrastructure and agriculture. The reconnection of floodplains plays a significant role considering water retention potential and other aspects such as biodiversity conservation, improvement of water status and river morphology. The delineation and evaluation of potential floodplains and their reconnection capacity require the consideration of the multiple parameters to characterize the effectiveness of floodplains in terms of hydrology/hydraulics, ecology and sociology. In order to delineate floodable area within the lower part of the Desnatui river an unsteady 1D hydrodynamic model has been built up and calibrated, using HEC-RAS software. The Floodplain Evaluation Matrix tool has been applied taking into account the following categories of parameters: hydrology (peak reduction ΔQ, flood wave translation Δt), hydraulics (water level Δh), ecology (connectivity of floodplain water bodies, existence of protected species) and socio-economics (potentially affected buildings, land use). The results showed that identified floodplain areas have high demand for restoration.
