Published: April 2023

With the rapid development of the market economy, a large number of enterprises provide many jobs with different requirements. In the traditional application process, college students need to search the job requirements of each company one by one to match their own needs and conditions, which not only requires a lot of time and opportunity costs, but also has poor matching degree. This paper uses the recommendation and machine learning algorithms to match and optimise the job characteristics and needs according to the professional type, interest and specialty, employment area and personal preference of college students through the algorithm, and recommends suitable positions for college students to improve their success in application and increase their employment satisfaction rate.
The innovative path of diversified vocal music education reform in colleges and universities under the advanced educational concepts of China and the West
Authors: Hu Yan
Published: April 2023

In order to conform to the development of the times and effectively promote the reform of vocal music education in colleges and universities, this paper proposes an innovative path of diversified vocal music education reform in colleges and universities under the modern advanced educational concepts that are steadily gaining utilisation and popular acceptance in China and the West. In this paper, the passive collective behaviour of biology is introduced in the teacher stage in the basic TLBO algorithm, and then the feedback stage is added after the student stage to increase the effectiveness of students’ learning methods, maintain the diversity of students and make available a system the deployment of which would swiftly bring students with poor grades to the attention of teachers; to this end, the algorithm is made to perform a local fine search, and the optimisation accuracy of the algorithm and its global search ability are improved. Finally, based on the numerical simulation of the standard test set and compared with the existing optimised TLOB algorithm, it is concluded that 92% of the solutions in the ETLBO are dominated or not dominated by the solutions in the non-dominated solution set of the optimised TLBO, while only 2% of the solutions in the non-dominated solution set of the optimised ETLBO are dominated by the non-dominated solutions of the TLBO. Centralised solutions dominate or do not dominate each other. It is concluded that the optimised TLBO algorithm has the best solution ability and also has practical application significance.
The Language of the Public Spaces in Tanzanian Universities during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Lusekelo Amani , Alphonce Chrispina , Nyinondi Onesmo Simon
Published: April 2023

The language of public space in Tanzania is increasingly reported to be dominated by English in the bottom-up signage for maintaining the higher status quo. At the same time, the utility of Kiswahili predominates for the top-down signposts that aim to pass information to the public quickly. While the literature shows the utility of Kiswahili is skewed towards the communication intended message, the COVID-19 situation expanded this utility in the public universities in the country. The expression of statements that select Kiswahili words is primarily associated with a warning (e.g., tafadhari nawa mikono 'please wash hands') and safety (Tujilinde 'Let us protect ourselves). Therefore, English words are not featured in the signposts, except for the statement produced by manufacturers of the handwashing machines. Apart from texts, visual pictures are provided in the COVID-19 signposts to reinforce the text message.
Between Spanish Language and Multilingualism in Spain: The Radical Right Placement
Authors: Pajares Daniel Pinto
Published: April 2023

Since its irruption in Spanish public institutions in 2018, a new right-wing political party, Vox, has challenged the electoral spectrum of other parties under a nationalist form. This work justifies the classification of Vox within the so-called radical right based on the components of the party’s nativist and authoritarian positions. These premises are deployed in discourses on the Spanish language as the only linguistic axis capable of structuring the nation. Although similar arguments can be found in other right-wing, center-right, or center-left political parties in Spain, Vox explicitly shows its placement. Language policy in Spain fluctuates around two positions related to the legal nature of the official languages. On the one hand, Spanish is the official language of the State and is widely known by the population; on the other hand, linguistic officiality is shared with other languages in several regions. This legal and social situation implies that measures for the protection and promotion of regional languages are perceived as an attack on the vitality of Spanish. We propose an analysis of Vox’s discourse through three channels: first, the organic party documents, as the statutes or the electoral program; second, institutional and journalistic interventions of members with social significance; and third, the publications on Twitter of six relevant components of the party. This material reveals an attack on the linguistic policies of bilingual territories under the premise of Spanish as the common language that balances all citizens. Far from assuming a mere conjunction of particular political phenomena, Vox’s discourse articulates social loyalties, with a direct impact on the coexistence of people from different territories and speakers of different languages. Our purpose is, therefore, to unravel the ideological orientation and tone with which Vox transmits its discourse regarding the social relationship of minoritized languages in Spain with the most widespread language, Spanish.
Air Flow Analysis for Protective Clothing Ventilation Elements with and Without Constant Cross-Section Area Opening
Authors: Janushevskis A. , Vejanand S. Rajni , Gulevskis A.
Published: April 2023

In this paper a ventilation element is designed with the constant cross-sectional area of 3.14 mm2 with the outer ring, to study the efficiency of ventilation at three different inlet air velocities (2, 5 and 8 m/s). There are five different cases analysed in the study, in which four cases are with different coordinate values of outer ring and core while the fifth case is studied with ventilation element without outer ring. The results of all five cases are analysed and compared to see the efficiency of ventilation element design. These ventilation elements are attached at ventilation hole at the inner part of the protective jacket. The attached ventilation element increases mechanical strength of the clothing by covering ventilation hole and restricting direct access of insects to the body. Moreover, ventilation elements permit smooth flow of air inside jacket. The objective is to determine which element’s geometrical configuration results in the minimum flow energy losses in the cell flow channel from the inlet to the outlet, which are represented by the pressure difference. Flow energy losses increase with increasing pressure difference (ΔP), and the body cooling reduces if the flow is weakened or there is of lost energy. SolidWorks Flow Simulation is used to calculate the pressure, temperature, and heat flux for the simplified elliptical model of the human body with a protective jacket. The obtained results are compared and analysed to study the concept of constant cross-sectional area in the design of ventilation elements with and without outer ring. The pressure and temperature difference for each case are calculated for the comparison and the obtained results show that the element design without outer ring provides better overall results and less flow energy loss in the cell flow channel than that of element design with outer ring.

Published: April 2023

Hydrogen peroxide is present naturally in any living cell. Although hydrogen peroxide concentration in cell is strictly regulated during normal metabolism, several human diseases lead to increased hydrogen peroxide concentration in body fluids. It is beneficial to monitor hydrogen peroxide levels in human body for early disease diagnostics. This can be done by creation of electronic device, which will use electrochemical sensor in order to perform automated hydrogen peroxide concentration measurement in a sample. The aim of the research is to use printed circuit board (PCB) technology in order to create a replaceable electrochemical hydrogen peroxide sensor that could be cheaply mass-produced to enable further development of automated health diagnostics device.

Published: April 2023

Objectives

Risk stratification and prognosis prediction are critical for appropriate management of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV). Herein, we aim to develop and internally validate a prediction model specifically for long-term survival of patients with AAV.

Methods

We thoroughly reviewed the medical charts of patients with AAV admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1999 to July 2019. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator method and the COX proportional hazard regression was used to develop the prediction model. The Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curves and Brier scores were calculated to evaluate the model performance. The model was internally validated by bootstrap resampling methods.

Results

A total of 653 patients were included in the study, including 303 patients with microscopic polyangiitis, 245 patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis and 105 patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, respectively. During a median follow-up of 33 months (interquartile range 15–60 months), 120 deaths occurred. Age at admission, chest and cardiovascular involvement, serum creatinine grade, hemoglobin levels at baseline and AAV sub-types were selected as predictive parameters in the final model. The optimism-corrected C-index and integrated Brier score of our prediction model were 0.728 and 0.109. The calibration plots showed fine agreement between observed and predicted probability of all-cause death. The decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that in a wide range of threshold probabilities, our prediction model had higher net benefits compared with the revised five factor score (rFFSand) and the birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) system.

Conclusion

Our model performs well in predicting outcomes of AAV patients. Patients with moderate-to-high probability of death should be followed closely and personalized monitoring plan should be scheduled.

The Elusive Relationship of State Power and Societal Peace: Reflections on the Case of Kosovo
Authors: Cerkrezi Albana , Shehi Reina Zenelaj , Kabashi Festina
Published: April 2023

Twenty years ago, NATO’s intervention against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), taking place without the approval of the UN Security Council (UNSC), challenged the sovereignty and non-interference norms the UN had perceived as international peace and order, until that moment. While the military action served to question existing principles, it simultaneously examined the effectiveness of non-authorization. Moreover, the Kosovo case stimulated one of the most important UN reforms that transformed the concept of sovereignty from right to responsibility. Conceptually, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has largely advanced since then. The transformation shifted the attention from political to sociological peace making society, gender and victims of conflict at the focus of peacebuilding and peace sustaining processes. The juxtaposition of state and societal peace continues in post-conflict Kosovo with both approaches being intermingled: the security debate covers attempts for a peace-building agenda, whereas the formation of a national army is pursued.

Indonesia persistent episode of debt has been concerned by policymakers, researchers, and academicians. Due to continuous deficit experienced which create debt to carry out, issues on the fiscal policy of the imbalances in budget becomes important. The motivation of this study is due to the importance of knowing fiscal position since Indonesia has continuity budget deficit that accelerate high public debt. The increasing in public debt could affect decreasing fiscal space in development and could negatively affect economic growth. Debt has positive and negative effect on economic growth. Preventing negative effect of public debt on economic growth, so that the optimum debt should be identify to alert the fiscal position and can maintain economic growth. Using Debt Laffer Curve theory by using Fully Modified Least Square (FMOLS) found that the debt threshold in Indonesia is 33,55%. Since the empirical threshold is higher than current debt ratio, there is a tendency for government to increase debt until reach 33.55%. Moreover, policy maker needs to revise the existing debt threshold rule since the empirical and stated debt threshold is different.

Authors: Sudiarawan Kadek Agus , Martana Putu Ade Harriestha
Published: April 2023

This study aims to examine whether the current industrial relations court procedural law system is sufficiently ideal as a reference for the settlement of industrial relations disputes in Indonesia and to test the urgency of regulating independent procedural law in the Court of Indonesian Industrial Relations. This is a normative legal research with a statutory approach, a conceptual approach and comparative approach. The result shows that the industrial relation court procedural law system is not ideal enough to accommodate the development and complexity of disputes that occur in Indonesian labor today. Simple, quick and inexpensive way of settling dispute is difficult to occur when the procedural law that is enforced still adopts or is unable to escape from HIR, RBg, RV as civil procedural law (colonial product), which has a general character. The Industrial Relations Court as one of the Special Courts must be able to show its independent character, including in regulating procedural law. Comparative studies with the state of Thailand, Malaysia and Japan are used in this paper in order to illustrate the importance of the regulation concerning the Industrial Relations Court procedures. Changes to the procedural law of the Industrial Relation Court are urgent to do in order to provide an effective and efficient means of dispute resolution that is able to represent simple, quick and inexpensive principles according to the needs or demands of workers and employers today

Authors:   Bunin Yelets State University, Turko U.I.
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to an urgent topic of using gaming technologies during lessons of Russian as a foreign language. On the material of the analysis of articles of the Scientific Electronic Library eLibrary.Ru, the types of games used by teachers at the present stage of teaching Russian as a foreign language are revealed. Teachers note the expediency of turning to gaming tasks in the classroom, which have a motivational potential and help create comfortable conditions for learning a new language in the classroom. Thanks to the gaming moments, competitiveness, the attention of students switches from completing the learning task to achieving the game result. It is noted that learning a new language should take place in conditions corresponding to real communication. Among the various types of games in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language, teachers single out online games, grammar, phonetic, lexical, board and role-playing games, giving the greatest preference to the last two. The use of games is aimed at the formation of communicative, linguistic, sociocultural and professional competencies. Authentic sources (video clips, songs) are used as educational materials, showing models of communicative behavior that can be implemented in role-playing games. For the formation of socio-cultural competence, texts with a regional component are involved. The use of various types of games under the guidance of a teacher helps to diagnose gaps in knowledge by identifying errors and improve knowledge of Russian as a foreign language by correcting them. Teachers include board games in the educational process, but note that their implementation is associated with a number of difficulties, among which are the limited amount of game material, the difficulty of adapting to the required level of Russian as a foreign language. To facilitate language acquisition, online games are being developed that are popular with young people.
TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGE NARRATIVE THROUGH SCIENCE NEWS REPORTING
Authors:   Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Borodina T.Yu.
Published: April 2023

The purpose of studying a foreign language at a technical university is to provide students with the necessary skills and methods of communication in academic discourse, ensuring the adequacy of social and professional contacts. To achieve this goal, the teaching strategy of this discipline has shifted from traditional translations of texts in the specialty to the primacy of oral speech. Revision of pedagogical priorities has led to the need in updating information and educational resources and implementation of methods aimed at developing students` communicative skills by organizing different types of speech activity. The article discusses the method of creating foreign language narratives of a scientific and journalistic genre by using the latest research news. The author develops a step-by-step algorithm with the particular focus on identifying common and specific elements in the structure of news texts. The article presents a narrative analysis of the field-specific authentic news text that includes structuring the primary source of information into basic elements: those of an abstract, localization, complication, evaluation, and denouement. The preliminary division of the media text into elements allows students to create a framework structure and a basis for reporting back on the actual news stories. The linguodidactic potential held by professionally-oriented news narrative is established. The author believes that construction of narratives can contribute to the development of students` abilities to analyze, synthesize, evaluate and reflect on information. Learning a foreign language through news narratives allows engineering students to improve their creative and communicative skills. Teaching a foreign language using media sources, which highlight scientific and technological breakthroughs, forms educational and cognitive competence of engineering and technical profile students and stimulates their research activities.

Published: April 2023

Objectives: To assess compliance to outpatient follow-up after discharge from the second stage of the kangaroo method, and a rate of hospital readmission up to 30 days of corrected age. Methods: We ran a cross-sectional study with very low birth weight infants and/or children under 33 weeks of age born from January to December/2019 at the Januário Cicco Maternity School / Natal / RN. For data analysis we used the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney and the Fishers Exact tests. Results: Of the 100 newborns included in the study, 13 did not return for outpatient follow-up. Among the 87 (100%) newborns in a row, 6 (6.9%) were readmitted for anemia requiring transfusion; 2 (33.3%) for urinary tract infection; 1 had regurgitation (16,5%); and 1 (16.5%) was undetermined. Newborns with follow-up had higher birth weight, fewer days in mechanical conditions and frequency of grade 3 and 4 peri-intraventricular hemorrhage compared with the no follow-up group. Conclusion: An important number of high-risk newborns did not return for outpatient follow-up, thus being an alert for the team that organized patient discharge. The low rate of readmission, in the first month of corrected age suggests a good condition of the patients at discharge. However, a longer period of observation should be used since the studies showed higher rates of readmission in those assessed up to 12 months of the corrected age.

CONCLUSION: The South American prevalence of overweight was 17.8% and obesity was 13.2%. Meta-analysis showed high heterogeneity (I2>99%) probably due to the ethnic, cultural and methodological differences.
Optimization of Cathechin Extraction for Development of Liquid Hand Soap Made From Gambier
Authors: Syukri Daimon
Published: April 2023

This study has aimed to determine the potential use of catechins derived from gambier as an anti-microbial raw material in the manufacture of hand washing liquid soap. The study started from the purification process of catechins from gambier and continued with the addition of gambier to the soap formula looking for hand washing. In this study, there were some difficulties in obtaining catechin extracts that could dissolve in water due to the character of catechins that did not dissolve completely in water. Therefore, the optimization of the catechin extraction process is optimized first. The catechin extraction process was carried out in two ways, namely by using a homogenizer at a speed of 15000 rpm for 30 minutes and a reflux process with hot water (temperature 70 degrees Celsius) for one hour. It was found that the concentration of catechin dissolved in water both in the homogenizer and reflux results was relatively the same, therefore for the manufacture of hand washing liquid soap, the process with the reflux technique would be recommended because of the cheaper operational costs.

Introdução: a migrânea é responsável pelo impacto na funcionalidade e no sofrimento psicológico de indivíduos acometidos por essa condição. A gravidade dos sintomas migranosos e o tempo de exposição estão associados e dizem respeito à idade de início da migrânea e ao tratamento precoce. Objetivo: o objetivo deste artigo é verificar se há associação entre o tempo de exposição à migrânea e a prevalência de sintomas depressivos e ansiosos, bem como identificar a relação, direta ou indireta, do tempo de tratamento sobre sintomas de transtornos psiquiátricos e a diminuição do impacto da doença na vida dos pacientes. Método: esta pesquisa configura-se como um estudo descritivo transversal, realizado em uma unidade especializada em atendimento de pacientes com migrânea com uma amostra dividida em grupo controle, migrânea episódica e migrânea crônica. Resultados e conclusões: concluiu-se que os pacientes com migrânea, seja ela crônica (MC) ou episódica (ME), pareados em relação à idade atual, relataram período de início das cefaleias aproximado, mas possuem tempo de tratamento diferente (MC=15 meses e ME=34 meses). Além disso, o grupo com migrânea crônica apresentou maior carga da doença.
Coherent Structures and Pressure Fluctuations over an Airfoil Using Time-Resolved Measurements

This study focused on the unsteady behaviors of large-scale vortical structures and wall pressure fluctuations and their coupling mechanism on a low-Reynolds-number airfoil. Three incidence angles were chosen for comparison: [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] (representing two flow regimes, namely, the separation bubble formation and separation without subsequent reattachment). Simultaneous measurements of velocity fields and wall-pressure fluctuations were performed using a high-resolution time-resolved particle image velocimetry operating at 2 kHz and an array of flush-mounted microphones sampled at 10 kHz. The results provided a detailed description of the shear layer transition and the coherent structures development on the airfoil. The roll-up process, pairing process, spatial-temporal growth of the vortical structure, and vortex break-up were clarified through a long-period analysis. Spectral analysis demonstrated that vortical structures at the fundamental frequency were spatially and temporally localized and that their subharmonics were significantly enhanced. Frequency–wavenumber spectra revealed that the energy was dominantly concentrated along the convective ridge. With increasing incidence angle, the energy level of the inclined ridge increased, with a lower extension in the frequency domain and a higher dispersion in the wavenumber domain. The conditional averaging and quadrant analysis results demonstrated that strong events in the near-wall region were dominated by the sweep motion and ejection motion, which enhanced the interaction between the inner and outer layers. This also indicated the existence of a strong relationship between the wall-pressure peaks and turbulence production mechanisms.

Objetivo: Comparar a Síndrome de Taksotsubo (STT) com a Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA) no que tange a características clínicas, epidemiológicas, além de suas estratégias diagnósticas. Métodos: Este é um estudo de abordagem qualitativa e caráter descritivo, executado por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura. As bases de dados utilizadas foram o National Library of Medicine (PubMed), MEDLINE e LILACS. Aplicados os descritores: “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy”, “Diagnosis” e “Prevalence”, utilizando o operador “AND” entre as respectivas palavras. Resultados: Foram analisados 492, destes, 30 foram selecionados. Os pacientes apresentavam queixa de dor torácica, alterações no ECG, discreta elevação de biomarcadores e ausência de obstrução coronariana grave. Esta doença possui maior prevalência no sexo feminino após à menopausa. Os críterios de Mayo Clinic são utilizados para o diagnóstico da STT e podem ser úteis na diferenciação com outras doenças. Considerações finais: A STT configura-se como desafio diagnóstico, com reconhecimento dificultado pela sobreposição de sintomas e alterações de exames complementares comuns a outras condições, como a SCA. Porém, características epidemiológicas e escores diagnósticos podem ser determinantes para sua identificação.
Abordagem geral da doença de Parkinson
Authors: Gonçalves Isabela Godinho , Souza Maria Cristina Almeida de
Published: April 2023

Objetivo: Analisar as características da Doença de Parkinson (DP). Revisão bibliográfica: A DP é um distúrbio progressivo em que as células produtoras de dopamina localizadas na substância negra do cérebro degeneram. Esta afeta mais de 10 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo, e espera-se que esse número dobre até 2030, dado o envelhecimento da população mundial. A doença é caracterizada por um conjunto central de anormalidades de movimento (motoras) como lentidão de movimentos, rigidez muscular e tremores, bem como uma série de características não motoras, como constipação, ansiedade e demência. Considerações finais: A DP é a segunda doença neurodegenerativa mais comum com sintomas motores e não motores que causa comprometimento na qualidade de vida do paciente. Seu diagnóstico é clínico com base na tríade bradicinesia ou lentidão de movimento associada a tremor de repouso e/ou rigidez. O tratamento farmacológico é feito através da reposição de dopamina, mas não fornece cura e nem retarda a progressão da doença, agindo apenas nos seus sintomas, sendo feito a base dos medicamentos Carbidopa/Levodopa. Além disso, estratégias como medicina complementar e estímulo a atividade física são amplamente utilizados em associação a terapêutica farmacológica.

Objetivo: Analisar as características do delirium na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). Revisão bibliográfica: O delirium, uma forma de disfunção cerebral aguda, é um problema comum e complexo na (UTI), sendo caracterizado como uma perturbação que se desenvolve em um curto período de tempo, flutua e representa uma mudança aguda da atenção e consciência básicas. A incidência de delirium na UTI varia de 45 a 87% e a maior taxa de incidência é encontrada em pacientes de UTI submetidos à ventilação mecânica atingindo mais de 80%. O delirium pode se apresentar como estados hiperativos ou hipoativos e pode flutuar entre os dois como delirium misto. Considerações finais: O delirium é um grave problema na UTI e está associado a resultados adversos como maior mortalidade, maior tempo de internação, maiores custos e maior declínio cognitivo pós internação. Dessa forma, a prevenção e o tratamento do delirium perpassam pela identificação e eliminação dos fatores de risco potenciais e em intervenções não farmacológicas, sendo o tratamento aplicado de forma limitada no tempo e na menor dose possível para o manejo de sintomas altamente estressantes ou comportamento de alto risco.
