Health, the Outdoors and Safety
Authors: Ball David J. , Ball-King Laurence
Published: April 2021

While the public health benefits accruing from exposure to the outdoors, and especially the natural environment, have gained greater recognition, this has exposed rifts in thinking between those focusing on the pathology of injury and those pursuing a wider health agenda which recognizes the restorative potential of encounters with nature. In retrospect, the classification of injury as a public health issue in the mid-20th century triggered complex societal responses which generated unintended consequences affecting healthful activities. Responses generally aim to reduce or minimize the risk of injury and come in different forms, including formal and informal codes of practice, standards, management systems and regulation. Well-intentioned as these interventions may have been, the new emphasis on harm shifted attention away from what causes health and resulted in increasing control over activities, including those taking place outdoors. This article, which draws on long-term qualitative policy research, describes examples of these on-going tensions in the context of the public enjoyment of the outdoors. In conclusion, the situation presented is considered from a number of theoretical perspectives, and proposals are made for resolving the issues. These include improved communication between sectors and, on the technical side, the introduction of a compensatory decision process which enables policy makers to take account of both the health benefits and risks of exposure to the natural environment.

Published: April 2021

There is a broad consensus on the impact of teacher quality on students’ outcomes. However, the debate on how to evaluate the impact of teacher training on student improvement remains open. The evaluation of the impact of in-service teacher training, organized in a network for different schools, has been analyzed very little to date. Our research displays an innovative approach in this regard, through an In-Service Professional Development Program based upon scientific evidence and dialogic principles: The Pedagogical Gatherings “On Giant’s Shoulders”. We conducted a multilevel communicative study to analyze its impact upon students’ achievement and schools’ outcomes whose teachers taking part of the Gatherings. Our contribution provides an advancement in the analysis of educational impact in teacher training. We provide indicators to identify those training programs that improve educational outcomes, according to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 4: quality education for all.
Air Quality and Key Variables in High-Density Housing
Authors: Jia Beisi , Liu Sibei , Ng Michelle
Published: April 2021

The high-rise and high-density housing development in nearby industry relocations is a general urban sprawl phenomenon in fast-growing cities in Southern China. Aside from the low price, the improved air quality in the suburban area is always a reason for home buyers, but the consistent monitoring of air quality and knowledge about how to plan housing estates are lacking. This paper investigates the relationship between the housing morphology and the air quality in three housing estates in Shenzhen. This research utilizes on-site monitoring equipment to examine negative air ions (NAIs) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to examine the air flow. This study reveals the effect of the urban form on the concentration of NAIs and PM2.5 in spatial variation. A correlation study between the configuration variables of the urban form and the CFD air flow pattern helps to identify the key variables influencing the air quality. This study concludes that in housing estates with good air quality of surroundings, the building density has no remarkable effect. However, the footprint of buildings, the layout of podiums, the roughness length of the building, the distance between buildings, the open space aspect ratio and the mean building height may have a remarkable impact on the air flow and quality. These findings may encourage high-density housing development and provide planning guidance for the configuration of housing forms in Southern China and subtropical climate regions around the world.
A Concise Synthesis of a Methyl Ester 2-Resorcinarene: A Chair-Conformation Macrocycle
Authors: Reynolds Michael R. , Pick Fraser S. , Hayward John J. , Trant John F.
Published: April 2021

Anions are important hydrogen bond acceptors in a range of biological, chemical, environmental and medical molecular recognition processes. These interactions have been exploited for the design and synthesis of ditopic resorcinarenes as the hydrogen bond strength can be tuned through the modification of the substituent at the 2-position. However, many potentially useful compounds, especially those incorporating electron-withdrawing functionalities, have not been prepared due to the challenge of their synthesis: their incorporation slows resorcinarene formation that is accessed by electrophilic aromatic substitution. As part of our broader campaign to employ resorcinarenes as selective recognition elements, we need access to these specialized materials. In this article, we report a straightforward synthetic pathway for obtaining a 2-(carboxymethyl)-resorcinarene, and resorcinarene esters in general. We discuss the unusual conformation it adopts and propose that this arises from the electron-withdrawing nature of the ester substituents that renders them better hydrogen bond acceptors than the phenols, ensuring that each of them acts as a donor only. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that this conformation arises as a consequence of the unusual configurational isomerism of this compound and interruption of the archetypal hydrogen bonding by the ester functionality.
A Second Regularized Trace Formula for a Fourth Order Differential Operator
Authors: Gül Erdal , Ceyhan Aylan
Published: April 2021

In applications, many states given for a system can be expressed by orthonormal elements, called “state elements”, taken in a separable Hilbert space (called “state space”). The exact nature of the Hilbert space depends on the system; for example, the state space for position and momentum states is the space of square-integrable functions. The symmetries of a quantum system can be represented by a class of unitary operators that act in the Hilbert space. The operators called ladder operators have the effect of lowering or raising the energy of the state. In this paper, we study the spectral properties of a self-adjoint, fourth-order differential operator with a bounded operator coefficient and establish a second regularized trace formula for this operator.
Contiguous Loss for Motion-Based, Non-Aligned Image Deblurring
Authors: Niu Wenjia , Xia Kewen , Pan Yongke
Published: April 2021

In general dynamic scenes, blurring is the result of the motion of multiple objects, camera shaking or scene depth variations. As an inverse process, deblurring extracts a sharp video sequence from the information contained in one single blurry image—it is itself an ill-posed computer vision problem. To reconstruct these sharp frames, traditional methods aim to build several convolutional neural networks (CNN) to generate different frames, resulting in expensive computation. To vanquish this problem, an innovative framework which can generate several sharp frames based on one CNN model is proposed. The motion-based image is put into our framework and the spatio-temporal information is encoded via several convolutional and pooling layers, and the output of our model is several sharp frames. Moreover, a blurry image does not have one-to-one correspondence with any sharp video sequence, since different video sequences can create similar blurry images, so neither the traditional pixel2pixel nor perceptual loss is suitable for focusing on non-aligned data. To alleviate this problem and model the blurring process, a novel contiguous blurry loss function is proposed which focuses on measuring the loss of non-aligned data. Experimental results show that the proposed model combined with the contiguous blurry loss can generate sharp video sequences efficiently and perform better than state-of-the-art methods.

Development of Speech Recognition Systems in Emergency Call Centers
Authors: Valizada Alakbar , Akhundova Natavan , Rustamov Samir
Published: April 2021

In this paper, various methodologies of acoustic and language models, as well as labeling methods for automatic speech recognition for spoken dialogues in emergency call centers were investigated and comparatively analyzed. Because of the fact that dialogue speech in call centers has specific context and noisy, emotional environments, available speech recognition systems show poor performance. Therefore, in order to accurately recognize dialogue speeches, the main modules of speech recognition systems—language models and acoustic training methodologies—as well as symmetric data labeling approaches have been investigated and analyzed. To find an effective acoustic model for dialogue data, different types of Gaussian Mixture Model/Hidden Markov Model (GMM/HMM) and Deep Neural Network/Hidden Markov Model (DNN/HMM) methodologies were trained and compared. Additionally, effective language models for dialogue systems were defined based on extrinsic and intrinsic methods. Lastly, our suggested data labeling approaches with spelling correction are compared with common labeling methods resulting in outperforming the other methods with a notable percentage. Based on the results of the experiments, we determined that DNN/HMM for an acoustic model, trigram with Kneser–Ney discounting for a language model and using spelling correction before training data for a labeling method are effective configurations for dialogue speech recognition in emergency call centers. It should be noted that this research was conducted with two different types of datasets collected from emergency calls: the Dialogue dataset (27 h), which encapsulates call agents’ speech, and the Summary dataset (53 h), which contains voiced summaries of those dialogues describing emergency cases. Even though the speech taken from the emergency call center is in the Azerbaijani language, which belongs to the Turkic group of languages, our approaches are not tightly connected to specific language features. Hence, it is anticipated that suggested approaches can be applied to the other languages of the same group.

Published: April 2021

This study investigated asymmetry between lower extremities during the landing and takeoff phases of a vertical drop jump (VDJ) in adolescent athletes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and examined if performance was affected by reducing jump height. Thirty-three athletes who underwent ACLR and were referred for 3D biomechanical assessment before returning to play (mean age 15.9, SD 1.3 years; 16/33 female; mean time since surgery 7.4, SD 1.2 months) completed the VDJ while kinematics and kinetics were collected using motion capture. Lower extremity symmetry was compared between phases using paired t-tests. Jump height was calculated to measure performance. Asymmetries in ankle inversion, ankle adduction, knee adduction, hip adduction, hip adduction moment, and hip rotation moment were observed in both phases. Asymmetry was also observed in both phases for sagittal moments and power integrals at the knee and ankle and total power integral, with the magnitude of asymmetry being smaller during takeoff for power absorption/generation. Jump height was related to power generation integrals during takeoff but not to the asymmetry of power generation. Since asymmetries are translated from landing through takeoff, rehabilitation should address both phases to decrease injury risk and maximize performance after return to play.
Laser Assisted Dirac Electron in a Magnetized Annulus
Authors: Fiordilino Emilio
Published: April 2021

We study the behaviour of a charge bound on a graphene annulus under the assumption that the particle can be treated as a massless Dirac electron. The eigenstates and relative energy are found in closed analytical form. Subsequently, we consider a large annulus with radius ρ∈[5000,10,000]a0 in the presence of a static magnetic field orthogonal to its plane and again the eigenstates and eigenenergies of the Dirac electron are found in both analytical and numerical form. The possibility of designing filiform currents by controlling the orbital angular momentum and the magnetic field is shown. The currents can be of interest in optoelectronic devices that are controlled by electromagnetic radiation. Moreover, a small radial force acts upon the annulus with a stretching effect. A linearly polarized electromagnetic field propagating in the orthogonal direction is added; the time evolution of the operators show that the acceleration of the electron is proportional to the rate of change of the spin of the particle.

Savings in banks or any other financial institution will be a key factor in raising the capital of any economy in the world. It will boost the economic growth when there is a higher savings portfolio in an economy. As a developing country, Sri Lanka looks forward to expanding the economy through the financial system to invest in development programs to mitigate financial shortages. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka is the principal financial institution that controls and oversees the entire financial system of the country through a variety of banking and financial institutions. The Sri Lankan financial system can be categorized as the banking sector, the non-bank finance and leasing sector, key traders, the micro-credit sector and the money brokerage industry. The banking industry in the financial system plays a major role in attracting client’s savings into the economy. Savings can be regarded as income for one person as well as an investment for future benefits. In this paper concentrating mainly on the savings intention of young people or clients in the Licensed Specialized Banks and affecting the factors concerning their intention to save. This study will pay attention on the impact of factors on savings intention of young customers in the given population to identify which factors have more or less effects on each factor. Identifying the impact of each is important to generalize the results of research virtually into the actual working environment. This will be useful for policy-makers, decision-makers or banking strategists to implement new plans and even alter their vision statements.

У другу групу увійшли 35 новонароджених з сепсисом, у яких в одному з вказаних періодів вміст УДЧ в атмосферному періоді був менше 1,0.Результати. У дітей І групи відмічається певний дисбаланс маркерів системної запальної відповіді організму на інфекцію у вигляді суттєвого зниженняпротизапального Іл-10, а також підвищений вміст в сироватці крові пресепсина. Так, в І групі вміст пресепсину склав 907,1±198,2 пг/мл, а в групі порівняння 672,6 ±152,4 пг/мл (р>0,05). Вміст в сироватці крові імуноглобулінів А, G, M в підгрупах порівняння суттєво не відрізнявся.Висновок. Вміст в атмосферному повітрі ультрадрібних часточок розміром в 10-20 нм під час внутрішньоутробного розвитку плоду суттєво не впливаєна гестаційний термін, загальний характер інтенсивності терапії сепсису та тривалості його лікування в стаціонарі. Характерною особливістю у хворих основної групи можна вважати тенденцію до більш високого рівня вмісту в сироватці крові пресепсину при зниженому рівні вмісту протизапального інтерлейкіну-10.

Authors: Турова Людмила , Курченко Андрій
Published: April 2021

The study of immunogenetic markers associated with the development of complications of pregnancy and perinatal pathology in newborns is of great practical importance for the development of preventive measures and maintaining the health of the baby in the future. Numerous studies in recent years have shown that the presence of genetic predisposition to certain diseases is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications (habitual miscarriage, placental insufficiency, late toxicosis), which leads to the implementation of perinatal pathology in later life.

Authors: S. Rajeshwari , Buzurg S.K.
Published: April 2021

Think about the linear delay differential equation, \begin{equation}\label{1} y'(q) + \sum_{n=1}^{m} P_{n}(q) y(q-\tau_{n})=0,\quad q\geq q_{0}, \end{equation} where $P_{n}\in C([q_{0},\infty),R)$ and $\tau_{n}\geq0$ for $n=1,2,\ldots,m$. By investigating the oscillatory solutions of the linear delay differential equations, we offer new adequate condition for the asymptotic stability of the solutions of \eqref{1}. We also produce comparison result and stability of \eqref{1}.

ISSUES OF CONTINUITY OF APPROACHES TO URBAN IMPROVEMENT AND GREENING
Authors:   RAACS, Chistyakova S.B.
Published: April 2021

The article has been prepared on the basis of many years of research at the Central Scientific Research Institute of Urban Development in the 1970s and 1990s and later works, including those carried out at the Central Scientific Research Institute of Construction of the Ministry of Construction of Russia. The ecological prerequisites of urban planning and the principle of the formation of the natural-ecological frame of the territories of cities as a planning basis for their improvement and landscaping are considered. Taken into account studies of 2019-2020. Since the beginning of the new century, the professional environment has been discussing the negative trends of modern urban planning and urban improvement, accompanied by the loss of their individual appearance. This takes place in the conditions of a market economy and world processes of globalization, which in our subject area are usually called "urbanism". This situation is typical for most cities, and not only for megalopolises, but also for small historical cities. It is shown that excessive unification and depersonalization of the urban environment can be overcome by relying on the fundamental achievements of domestic science and practice. It is also necessary to use systemic, socially oriented and environmentally oriented approaches to the planning and improvement of cities with the formation of interconnected systems of natural and green areas. They should include historical buildings, architectural ensembles and architectural monuments, valuable natural landscapes, historical gardens and parks.
SEMANTICS AND FUNCTIONING OF DISCOURSE MARKER SORA IN KARACHAY-BALKAR LANGUAGE
Authors: Кошева Астра Шагабановна
Published: April 2021

Предлагаемая работа выполняется в рамках текущего исследовательского проекта, направленного на описание феномена эвиденциальности в карачаево-балкарском языке. Актуальность обусловлена отсутствием исследований дискурсивных маркеров как одного из распространенных средств выражения категории эвиденциальности в карачаево-балкарском языке. Цель исследования - определение семантики и функционального потенциала отдельно взятого дискурсивного маркера карачаево-балкарского языка. Объектом выступает многофункциональный дискурсив сора. Задачи исследования - выявить особенности семантики и синтаксического употребления данного дискурсивного маркера и описать его функции в предложении и тексте. Материалом послужил корпус примеров, содержащих языковые единицы исследуемого феномена, отобранные методом сплошной выборки. Установлено, что функциональный потенциал значений маркера сора гораздо шире его словарных дефиниций. Являясь транскатегориальной единицей языка, дискурсив сора демонстрирует следующие функциональные возможности: актуализация высказывания; выражение коммуникативных намерений говорящего; регулирование интеракции между коммуникантами; способность изменять первичные значения и функции в дискурсе; обеспечение когерентности дискурса в целом и демонстрация различных смысловых отношений, возникающих между компонентами текста. Анализ языкового материала также свидетельствует, что исследуемая лексема является средством выражения предположительной инференциальной семантики, основанной на логическом умозаключении.

The proposed work is performed as a part of an on-going research project aimed at description of evidentiality in Karachay-Balkhar language. The paper represents the study of semantics and functional variability of the most widely used discourse marker SORA. The functional properties of this marker are mentioned in dictionaries, grammars and number of specific studies, but they were not subjected to special analysis. The paper aims at bridging this gap. We identify that discourse marker sora is highly polyfunctional. Being a discourse marker with an expressive, conative or discourse structuring function sora presents a more increased pragmatic scope than those with a textual function operating at a more profound level of the discourse. The experimentally obtained data prove that sora is capable to perform a variety of communicative and pragmatic functions: reflecting the process of interaction between the author and the reader, conveying the author’s attitude to what has been said, expressing inferential meaning, based on logical reasoning and ensuring the text coherence. The results have shown that the topic is characterized by rich empirical detail and intriguing theoretical issues. The summarization of these issues can serve as a start for further reading and exploration. The study also contributes to the general theory of evidentiality.
Rural Health for Pregnant and Birthing People: Access and Advocacy
Authors: Smith Sunday , Corbett Erica
Published: April 2021

Midwifery care is a safe and cost-effective care model; producing excellent outcomes especially for vulnerable and isolated people due to its one-on-one continuity of care and family-centered model. Recent research studies have shown out of hospital birth to have numerous benefits; shorter labors and lower rates of interventions, without an increase in adverse outcomes. These outcomes are more reliable when midwifery care is fully supported and integrated into existing maternity care systems. There are significant barriers to the provision of equitable reproductive health care to pregnant and birthing people in rural and remote areas. This, in the context of the United States being the only country where maternal mortality rates are on the rise. Midwifery care has been proposed as a potential solution but the need for working models of such care exists. The article showcases a working and replicable midwifery care practice model; showing how it can function to address inequity by building collaborative partnerships with other providers to advocate on clients’ behalf and reduce vulnerability to health disparities. This has practice implications for maternity providers and policy makers, introducing how advocacy can help remove the systemic barriers affecting reproductive justice and care.
Direct and Moderating Effects of Sexual Minority Identity Dimensions on Mental Health
Authors: Fredrick Emma , Williams Stacey
Published: April 2021

Sexual minorities experience minority stress, which is associated with mental health disparities. However, specific dimensions of identity may buffer against these disparities. While research in other stigmatized populations has found evidence for direct and moderating effects of identity on mental health, limited research has examined these dimensions in sexual minorities. We explored the potential direct and moderating effects of identity dimensions with regards to sexual stigma and mental health. Findings from 209 lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals revealed higher centrality of sexual orientation identity and more positive private regard predicted lower psychological distress and more positive private regard predicted higher self-esteem. Additionally, centrality moderated the effect of public stigma, such that those who reported higher centrality did not report decrements to self-esteem in the face of public stigma to the extent of those with low centrality. Findings suggest centrality and private regard contribute to the psychological wellbeing of sexual minorities.
Is Fat Queer? Parallels between Weight Loss Surgery and Gender Transition
Authors: Merkel Jamey
Published: April 2021

Fatness can be considered queer through the lens of fat studies and queer theory. Fatness as queer is explored through looking at bariatric weight loss procedures as a way that fat people may “transition” from fat to thin, much like how transgender individuals transition medically and/or surgically from one perceived gender to another.
