В статье обсуждаются вопросы вероятной зависимости действий специалиста, работающего с пациентами гериатрического профиля, от возрастных, гендерных и иных характеристик данного специалиста. Такой, на первый взгляд, нетрадиционный подход к научным исследованиям в области геронтологии и гериатрии выявляет отчетливые различия в ряде аспектов клинического мышления и следования клиническим рекомендациям у врачей разного возраста, пола, при разном состоянии их собственного здоровья. На основе анкетирования 126 врачей и анализа 2 394 их мнений получены результаты, свидетельствующие об определенном консерватизме врачей старше 50 лет, особенно мужчин, имеющих большой клинический опыт. Обсуждаются случаи так называемого самоэйджизма пожилого специалиста, использующего в своих профессиональных действиях результаты диагностики и лечения той возраст-ассоциированной патологии, которой страдает он сам. Предлагается в процессе повышения квалификации или профессиональной переподготовки врачей-гериатров учитывать их возраст, пол и состояние здоровья, а также сопровождать занятия обязательным определением биологического возраста самого специалиста.

The article discusses the probable dependence of the actions of a specialist working with geriatric patients on the age, gender, and other characteristics of this specialist. This seemingly unconventional approach to research in the field of gerontology and geriatrics reveals distinct differences in a number of aspects of clinical thinking and following clinical recommendations in doctors of different ages, genders, and in different states of their own health. On the basis of a survey of 126 doctors and an analysis of 2 394 of their opinions, the results were obtained, indicating a certain conservatism of doctors over the age of 50, especially men with extensive clinical experience. The article discusses cases of so-called self-ageism of an elderly specialist who uses in his professional actions the results of diagnosis and treatment of the age-associated pathology that he himself suffers from. It is proposed in the process of continuing education or professional training of geriatricians to take into account their age, sex and health status, as well as accompany classes mandatory determination of the biological age of the specialist.
SUCESSÃO NA UNIÃO ESTÁVEL: A INCONSTITUCIONALIDADE DO ARTIGO 1.790 DO CÓDIGO CIVIL
Authors: Laia Silvano Estefany
Published: September 2021

This scientific article aims to demonstrate, through an exploration of the types of family formation in Brazil, the succession rules related to spouses and partners. The discussion consists in the fact that the constitutional legislator has equalized both institutions before the law, attributing to the stable union the position of a family entity, which, mistakenly, is contradicted by the infraconstitutional legislation, regarding, mainly, the regulation of inheritance rights. of companions. Thus, this scientific article will be based on a comparison between the institutes of stable union and marriage, in addition to highlighting doctrinal positions and jurisprudence on the subject, in addition to differentiating each type of family entity. It is common knowledge that there is a hierarchy in the legal system between legal institutes, in which infraconstitutional laws must be in accordance with the Greater Law. However, the Civil Code of 2002 tried to contradict several contemporary constitutional elements of the concept of family, considering that in its article 1790, it regulated the succession of the partner in an unconstitutional way, unfairly supporting the relationships of affection foreseen in the current family. , giving preference to biological ties, contrary to the current understanding of family.

MOTIVAÇÃO DOS SERVIDORES DA PREVIDÊNCIA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO
Authors: Serafim Teixeira Bruna
Published: September 2021

The motivation for the public service of civil servants is an essential factor for the pursuit of public ends with a view to guaranteeing social welfare, the ultimate objective of the State. In this context, public servants are inserted as guarantors of this purpose, and the motivating factors and those that generate dissatisfaction must be constantly analyzed by the decisionmaking managers of the Administration bodies. Based on the study by Perry (1996), adapted for the Brazilian scenario in an unprecedented study carried out by Moraes (2017), the Public Service Motivation (PSM) scale was used to measure the motivation for the public service of the civil servants of the social security agency of the State of São Paulo, as well as analyzing, by the quantitative method, motivating factors, as well as causes of dissatisfaction, relevant to the provision of public service. It was found that factors such as salary and difficulty in career progression are causes that, in addition to generating dissatisfaction, are capable of affecting motivation, which prevails among civil servants at the beginning of their careers and in technical positions, with less autonomy, responsibility and education level. In this sense, it is necessary to adopt measures capable of supplying or minimizing such effects in order to increase the levels of motivation and satisfaction for the public service, which are able to increase the effectiveness and productivity in the provision of the public service. Measures such as a fairer and more attractive career progression plan, greater autonomy and power to participate in decision-making can favor this scenario.

Automatic Image Caption Generation is one of the core problems in the field of Deep Learning. Data Augmentation is a technique which helps in increasing the amount of data at hand and this is done by augmenting the training data using various techniques like flipping, rotating, Zooming, Brightening, etc. In this work, we create an Image Captioning model and check its robustness on all the major types of Image Augmentation techniques. The results show the fuzziness of the model while working with the same image but a different augmentation technique and because of this, a different caption is produced every time a different data augmentation technique is employed. We also show the change in the performance of the model after applying these augmentation techniques. Flickr8k dataset is used for this study along with BLEU score as the evaluation metric for the image captioning model.
The Birthday of Boris Godunov
Authors: Uspenskij Fyodor Borisovich , Litvina Anna Felikovna
Published: September 2021

The life story of Tsar Boris Godunov, one of the most intriguing characters of Late Medieval Rus’, is still surrounded by unsolved enigmas, obscure gaps, and omissions. The date of his birth is to yet be verified and introduced into scholarly discourse. This paper presents evidence that, if interpreted appropriately, we argue it enables us to estimate Godunov’s  birthday. Accurate dating is important for many reasons, for instance it helps us to contextualize and broaden our understanding of everyday life at the ruling house, the cult of personal patron saints, and aristocratic naming conventions in Rus’ between the 14th and the 17thcenturies.

Published: September 2021

We recently organized the first edition of Substantia Short Talks to discuss some hot topics within the community of our journal. It was a recorded online event, that took place online on July 1, 2021, at 4 pm CEST.
In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic that forced us to restrain or limit our social and cultural activities, we thought to offer a lively cultural happening to strengthen our interactions and to ponder on some remarkable issues that affect our lives as scientists and citizens in a globalized world.
Examples that came up to our minds were quite some. Just to mention a few: the protection of intellectual property and the worldwide distribution of life-saving drugs (e.g. the anti-Covid vaccines) at very low costs; the relationship between science and politics, i.e. Black Lives Matter and the harsh debate between some international scientific journals and publishers; or the denial of freedom and democracy and even the lack of scientific dissemination in some countries, and so forth.

Published: September 2021

Technological advancement in the rapidly changing world of work demands its use in every field, including education. In the current scenario, online education is the new normal. Therefore, future teachers should be aware of multiple instructional strategies and suitable ways of using technology to assist in the development of 21st-century skills in learners. Keeping this fact into consideration, this study aims to explore the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers regarding online teaching. The technological pedagogical content knowledge framework was employed to understand and describe the self-efficacy beliefs of teachers for effective pedagogical practice in a technology-enhanced learning environment. Through the use of phenomenological case study design, this research investigates the self-efficacy level, understanding, and expectations of futureteachers regarding effective online teaching. Koehler and Mishra’s TPACK framework and Bandura’s self-efficacy theory were used as the conceptual underpinnings of semi-structured interviews conducted with five pre-service teachers enrolled in a teacher education program. The study found a high level of self-efficacy perceived by pre-service teachers. Also, pre-service teachers were confident in using the TPACK framework for online teaching. The study suggests the use of technology-based materials in the courses of teacher education related to technology integration for enhancing self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers regarding online teaching.

The study was carried out using quantitative research methodology with survey method of research and data collection. A total of n= 126 students, faculty members and administrative staff members (48 students, 48 faculty members and 30 administrative staff members) participated in this study. The sample was drawn through a multi-stage sampling design. Data was collected through close-ended, self-reported five-option Likert scale type questionnaire adopted with minor modifications from Zeqiri and Alija (2016). Analysis of collected data was carried out through SPSS V 24. Samples were contacted through consent letters and emails. Allpossible ways of legal and ethical considerations were part of the study. The analysis of data showed that the organisational culture of universities is a combination of Hofstede’s proposed dimensions of organizational culture.Universities tend to be effective and sustainable in their approaches but this is not so accros the country in the context of higher education teaching and non-teaching faculty members. Organizational culture of universities have inexperience dominance and the culture has openness towards newcomers. Rigidness towards deadlines is also an attribute of universities’ organizational culture, but there are few relaxations and comforts in working enviornments as well. Universities are contributing in a positive way towards society andhave realistice and pragmatic approach towards teaching and reearch. This study recommends a valueable consideration of employees’ personal needs and problems. The study also suggests that middle managers (Deans, Head of Departments) should be trained in human pschychology and human resources management.

Authors:   Department of Building, Abia State University, Uturu, Nigeria, Madukwe Emeka R , Igbo Evelyn N
Published: September 2021

This study examines the understanding of scholars towards environmental challenges, as well as the connection between the environmental challenges, approaches and comportments in South-Eastern Nigeria. The Correlational Coefficient Analytical Technique (CCAT) was adopted in this study to ascertain the extent to which the three key variables (environmental understanding, approach and comportment), do correlate with one another and their possible effects on the sampled student population. Data was also elicited via environmental understanding test, environmental approach scale and environmental comportments scale. Furthermore, descriptive statistics and independent t-test were employed. The study among other things showed that environmental understanding did not have a higher correlation with environmental comportments (r = 0.21) than with environmental approaches (r = 0.46). However, environmental comportments were found to influence environmental approaches, by having a significantly stronger correlation (r=0.46) than environmental understanding (r = 0.21). The study, therefore, indicated a statistically positive correlation between the environmental understanding, approach and comportments on the surveyed environmental issues. Therefore, the environmental approach has a moderate relationship with the environmental understanding and comportments, although the relationship between the environmental understanding and comportments seems to be weak. The study, therefore, concluded that environmental understanding, approaches and comportments of participants do not have a significant difference. There is, therefore, the need to review extant curriculum to inquire into extant teaching practices with the hope to facilitate a clear-cut teaching approach geared towards sensitizing the students on the realities of environmental challenges, their consequences and measures to ameliorate, or at most, abating them. Keywords: Environmental understanding, environmental enlightenment, environmental challenges, environmental approaches, environmental comportment.
Ярмарок – торг – обмін як фрейм просторового пограниччя (М. Гоголь – Г. Квітка-Основ’яненко)
Authors: Malinowski Artur
Published: September 2021

A fair – a successful demonstration form of the translation of social experience, tradition, customary rules in the form of collective action. This is an all-public action with the representation of the symbolic series of culture, era, and society.Given the honourable place of the fair in the works of M. Gogol, V. Narizhniy, M. Pogodin, G. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, E. Grebinki, V. Sollogub, etc., it seems expedient to emphasize the modernity of its nature, a radical change in relations between the subject and the object, or between the subject and the predicate, that is, the statement about this subject, its semantic definition. In other words, denotation gives way to a more virtual, fictitious relationship between the participants (subjects) of the fair and its objects.The gallery of fairs is opened with an embodiment of a two-vector-oriented culture by M. Gogol. In his “Sorochinsky Fair” (1831), he allegedly programmed the further reception of this image, and his primacy, the authority of all recognized.

Indeed, Gogol creates the fair primarily not in the plane of the narrative, but as a field for experiment, a space of various communicative discourses of pragmatic orientation. Therefore, a literary, verbal-mimetic expression serves here as a powerful tool for constructing a spectacular dramatic action with many acts, scenes and microscales, genre pictures and anecdotal inserts. The effect of suggestive suggestion, literally the modelling of juicy images, facilitates a meeting of human life with the world through experience, communication, knowledge and the discovery of unfamiliar spheres.

Published: September 2021

The oil price has fallen significantly from its peak at $128.14 per barrel in March 2012, reaching a low of $29 in February 2016. Kuwait depends mainly on oil revenue to finance infrastructure governmental projects. Oil price decline has a direct impact on economic and capital expenditure in the construction industry’s resources in Kuwait, specifically construction material. This research investigates the effect of changes in oil prices over range from 2007-2017 on the construction industry in Kuwait. Different types of data regarding global economic data, construction materials, and awarded contracts during the study period were gathered and analyzed. A set of statistical and correlation analysis are performed. The study revealed that many construction materials are affected by oil price in Kuwait. The GDP is highly affected by oil price drop; this implies that there is a limited result of government plans to divers governmental finance. A regression model is proposed to forecast the construction cost per square meter in Kuwaiti dinar based on study variables. The study results can be used to evaluate the effect of oil price drop in similar construction environments such as Gulf countries and to predict construction costs changes due to oil price decline.

Published: September 2021

A medical emergency, no matter where it happens, demands immediate treatment. When it occurs in a dental set-up, it is expected of Dentist and his/her staff to have the basic knowledge to recognize, assess and manage a potentially life-threatening situation until the patient can be transported to a medical facility. For that, the staff in the clinic should be well trained to act accordingly in different types of medical emergencies that can occur at any given time. A mock drill can also be organized for their training purpose. This review article deals with different kinds of medical emergencies that can occur in a dental set-up and how that can be recognized and managed.
The Dual Journey: Traveling On-site and Online
Authors: Magasic Michelangelo
Published: September 2021

Travel is increasingly imagined as a sociotechnical practice wherein ICTs are integrated with experience. In this context, in addition to the movement of the traveler within and between places, and encounters with peoples, cultures, and landscapes, the activity of travel is constituted
within various forms of online interactions. Emphasizing this point, emerging industry and theoretical paradigms such as "smart tourism" propose the use of social media and digital devices as ubiquitous and essential to the future of tourism. This article uses the theoretical concept of mediatization—the
integration and influence of media forms within social practice—to explore how the embeddedness of ICTs influences tourism, focusing on the avatar of online communication in particular. ICTs bridge distances in time and space, support the construction of personal identity and community,
and channel the data flows permitting informationization, with these characteristics likewise being reflected in the textures of contemporary tourism. Tourists' use of ICTs is conceptualized through the model of the "dual journey," a vision of hybridized travel in which online and physical
spheres are interwoven in the construction and consumption of tourist experience. The purpose of this conceptual investigation is not only to consider the intensification of communication within tourism but also to highlight the ways in which tourists' communicative practices are enfolded
within, and become, tourism.

Published: September 2021

A biosimilar is the new emerging drug product of the sector of Biologics that comes under speedily evolving area of pharmaceutical industry. It is the generic substitute for original research-based drugs. Since the Biologics are produced by a variety of products more commonly including cells extracted from humans, animals, microorganisms which varies phenotypically therefore they are “similar but not same” to the original product. Being a new product, it produces several challenges in the market including its regulation guidelines, production efficiency, quality management, and safety factors etc. The quality of these products along with its effectiveness and reduced costs are making them more and more popular. Different research is still being going on for enhancing the efficacy of biosimilars due to its more and more usage in the market. Several countries have developed their separate norms for the production and clinical usage of these biosimilars constituting Canada, Japan, Korea, and United States of America etc. The more biologics grab the attention of the eminent scientists for better innovations, the less marketing approval it gets. To enhance such a situation U S Congress passed the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation act 2009 and US FDA allowed “abbreviated pathway” for their approval and India being the most suited manufacturing area has also prepared certain guidelines stated as “Draft Guidelines on Similar Biologics” which were announced in June 2012, by Department of Biotechnology at Boston bio. The regulatory environment for biosimilars continues to evolve, both in recognition of advances in technology/ analytical methods and the availability of new targets for biosimilar development. With the advent of such efforts biosimilars are trying to surround the market. The demanding sector of biosimilars reveals the challenging gateway towards the nanomedicines also which shows that with the advancing biotechnology after these biosimilars, we are heading towards other newly biologically derived products.

Published: September 2021

Immigration from one location to another in search for a better life has been an ongoing
human process. The process, as a matter of fact, began before the WWI and it continues till
now. It was dramatically increased during the era of the wars. Early immigrations involved
unskilled and illiterate people whose common labor was peddling. Peddling vastly enabled
immigrants assimilate into American multi-cultures. It is the base on which the history of
Arab American is documented. The paper is aimed to discuss the concept of immigration
first, investigating the three distinctive waves of Arab immigrants to the United States,
focusing on early migrations and early American cultures, the act of peddling, and how Arab
immigrants assimilated to the American society. The study will answer the questions: How
did Alixa Naff become American? What experience did she lead? And how did she affect the
society of Arab Americans? The study originally depended on Naff's Collections which is a

The article considers the information and technical aspects of an innovative autonomous integrated power plant management, including alternative energy sources and a diesel generator set, as well as controlled inverters that provide energy supply to consumers of various priority categories, which can be used in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation. The main aspects of creating innovative systems are considered and it is determined that the creation of integrated energy systems requires a significant deepening of cooperation between national producers in order to ensure the scalability of integrated energy systems by ensuring the unity of information means of data exchange between individual modules and the control system. It is shown that a specific requirement for control systems of complex power plants is the requirement of high autonomy, including the ability to provide consumers with electricity under variable environmental conditions without direct intervention of operational personnel. The article substantiates the division of the information and algorithmic support of the control system of a complex power plant into two modules – analytical and control. For the analytical module, an algorithm is proposed that ensures the development of control solutions in a complex energy system, ensuring the stability of energy supply to the most important consumers. At the same time, the algorithm provides an increase in the reliability of the energy storage device based on Li-Ion batteries used in the system not only by eliminating excessive charge and deep discharge, but also by reducing the number of charge/discharge cycles. The solution of system autonomy problem is provided by a multivariate algorithm for predicting weather conditions using statistical data and methods for analyzing fuzzy time series. The intelligent control algorithm was implemented in C++, the weather forecasting algorithms were implemented in Python using the ANFIS library.

For the oil spill emergency response, a ship system for supplying an active substance to the contaminated zone has been proposed. Various chemical compounds and substances, microorganisms can be used as active substances. To collect most of the oil spill, it was proposed to use a thermally split graphite sorbent. Its supply to the contaminated zone should be carried out in the form of a pulp. One of the key elements of the system is a mixer for introducing the sorbent into the water flow. This article presents the results of three stages of the study of the influence of the geometric parameters of the jet mixer on the average volumetric content of the sorbent in the pulp, the shape of the nozzle and flow of the working fluid. The necessity of mandatory use of a arch destruction device in a bunker with a light sorbent is noted.

Background. Nowadays the newest method of nutrition in patients with head and neck carcinomas is the use of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Aim. Since 2012 we have actively implemented the use of Nutrison administered on PEG before and after the surgical removal of laryngeal or pharyngolaryngeal carcinomas. Material and method. We conducted a prospective descriptive study on 54 cases that benefited from prophylactic PEG placement. Results. Among the cases included in our study 28 underwent total laryngectomy with bilateral removal of lymph nodes, 23 patients required pharyngo-laryngectomy, 2 cases presented invading tonsilar carcinomas and 1 case with esophageal neoplasm received PEG for palliative purpose. Conclusions. The use of PEG is cost efficient lowering the number of in hospital stay days, permits the treatment of complex cases with multiple comorbidities and actively prevents the development of pharyngocutaneous fistulae.

Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of upper respiratory airways which appear during sleep and lead to the decrease of oxygen saturation and numerous awakenings. The symptomatology in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea is very different from the adult type in many aspects. The gold standard examination for diagnosis and evaluation of severity is polysomnography. The authors present their experience in the surgical tratament of children with obstructive sleep apnea. It is outlined a group of patient enrolled during a period of 5 years (2010-2014) who had their tonsils reduced through coblation and radiofrequency techniques.

Most foreign bodies ingested or impacted food boluses in the esophagus pass spontaneously to the stomach without requiring an intervention of extracting them. However, in 10-20% of cases, it is necessary to intervene endoscopic to extract the foreign body and, in very rare cases, about 1% surgical intervention for the extraction of the esophageal body is demanded. Sensitive categories for the foreign esophageal bodies are firstly children and rarely the adults. Foreign esophageal bodies are more common in children than in adults, and it is one of the pediatric otorhinolaryngology emergencies. The authors present the case of a 14 years old patient, at whom the esophagoscopy under general anesthesia, which was imperious, has detected a rare vegetal esophageal foreign body.

Objective. To evaluate the present state of cleft palate surgical treatment based on clinical studies after an extensive research of medical literature. Methods. The research was made in PubMed database between 2007-2014 taking in consideration surgical treatment of cleft palate and eliminating case reports, case series and reviews. Results. There was 1,677 articles with relevance for cleft palate surgical treatment and after applying exclusion criteria were retained 43 – 29 retrospective studies and 14 prospective. Conclusion. There isn’t a protocol treatment recognized by all the cleft palate centers, existing a variety of ways to manage this malformation. There are few studies that adress treatment of cleft palate and in particular the surgical treatment of this disease and of these many are retrospective studies. This review reinforces the importance of performing prospective studies with long-term outcomes to elucidate the effect of each protocol for obtaining optimal results.
