Federación Nacional de Personas Sordas del Ecuador (FENASEC) y Vicepresidencia de la República del Ecuador. (2010). Glosario básico de lengua de señas ecuatoriana. Ecuador
Authors: Bardales Sihue Rosa Milagros
Published: September 2024

Es necesario destacar que las lenguas de señas, en tanto presentan diferencias de acuerdo con el país en el que se desarrollan, son empleadas para realizar diversas funciones como «la organización del pensamiento, [...] la expresión de las emociones con todo detalle, [...] la creación de conocimiento y [...] la comunicación, con la misma facilidad y eficiencia con la que cualquier usuario de una lengua oral utiliza la suya» (Rodríguez-Mondoñedo, 2017, como se citó en Arnaiz, 2019, p. 15). Sin embargo, es sabido que en diferentes partes del mundo se crean mitos e ideas equivocadas en torno a sus hablantes y a la lengua en sí. En consecuencia, la comunidad sorda y/o las personas signantes ven afectada la garantización de sus derechos y vulnerado el desarrollo pleno de su cotidianidad.
Juozas Jurginis' Solution to kaimynai Problem
Authors: Gudavičius Edvardas
Published: September 2024

K. Jablonskis stellte zum ersten Mal eine Frage über die Kategorie der sogenannten Heimnachbarn - der Fronbauern, welche im 14.-16. Jb. ihre eigene Wirtschaft auf dem Boden des Herrn besaßen. J. Jurginis setzte diese Forschung fort. Er hat festgestellt:

Die Schicht der Heimnachbarn entstand im 13.-14. Jb. aus den Freibauern einer Dorfgemeinde, welche ihre Alodialhufen verloren hatten.
Die Heimnachbarn verpfändeten sich den Kriegergutsbesitzern als Leibeigene und wohnten in seiner Nachbarschaft.
Die Hauptpflicht der Heimnachbarn war der Frondienst.
Dem Gewohnheitsrecht nach waren die Heimnachbarn die Leute (die Freien, d.h. nicht die Sklaven). Sie dürfen aber ihren Herrn nicht verlassen.
Als die Bauernschaft im 16. Jb. endgültig in die Leibeigenschaft fiel, verschmolzen die Heimnachbarn mit ihr.
Ideological and Historiographic Influences on the Popularization of the History on the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. An Analysis of the Lithuanian Documentary Discourse (1998-2007)
Authors: Šermukšnytė Rūta
Published: September 2024

The article explains ideological and historiographic influences on the popularization of the history of the Lithuanian Grand Duchy within the discourse of Lithuanian documentary film and television from 1988 to 2007. The problem of the study arises from the unclear relationship between the ideological goals of national mobilization and the orientation documentarians set for themselves during the period of Rebirth, and the task of publishing scientific research, considered one of the essential functions of documentaries. The article uses specific film and TV examples to support two assertions: (1) The ideological intentions of film and TV authors give priority to explanations of the past influenced by the ideology of nationalism; (2) The preference among film and TV authors for critical Lithuanian historiography in terms of nationalist interpretations is associated with the goals they have set for themselves of revising concepts of the past that have taken hold in society.

Phase Diagrams of a Relativistic Self-Interacting Boson System
Authors: Gnatovskyy V. , Anchishkin D. , Zhuravel D. , Karpenko V.
Published: September 2024

Within the Canonical Ensemble, we investigate a system of interacting relativistic bosons at finite temperatures and finite isospin densities in a mean-field approach. The mean field contains both attractive and repulsive terms. Temperature and isospin density dependences of thermodynamic quantities are obtained. It is shown that, in the case of attraction between particles in a bosonic system, a liquid-gas phase transition develops against the background of the Bose–Einstein condensate. The corresponding phase diagrams are given. We explain the reasons for why the presence of a Bose condensate significantly increases the critical temperature of the liquid-gas phase transition compared to that obtained for the same system within the framework of Boltzmann statistics. Our results may have implications for the interpretation of experimental data, in particular, how sensitive the critical point of the mixed phase is to the presence of the Bose–Einstein condensate.

Published: September 2024

AbstractFive isolates of endophytic bacteria from the roots of klutuk and ambon banana plants produce indole acetic acid (IAA) hormone. However, the evidence of its potential as Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) has not been observed. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of bacterial isolate to increase the growth of rice and maize plants. The growth rates of bacterial isolates were measured before the inoculation into the plant root. The root inoculation was performed following a complete randomized design. Root inoculation was carried out using 5 isolates of endophytic bacteria in rice and maize plant seedlings, and the process was repeated 15 times (n=15). The growth of rice and maize plants was monitored from 1st day after planting (dap) to the 14th dap. The collected data were analyzed by student t-test with a significant level of 5% (a= 0.05). The results showed that the logarithmic phase of all isolates was reached at 4 to 16 hours and K10, K25, K35, K111, and A41 isolates increased the height of plants while the K111 isolate can significantly increase the plant height compared to the control. This experiment revealed that the endophytic bacteria from banana plants increase the rice and maize plant’s growth.AbstrakLima isolat bakteri menghasilkan hormon indole acetic acid (IAA) yang berpotensi memacu pertumbuhan tanaman.

The European response to Russian disinformation in the context of the war in Ukraine
Authors: Bayer Judit
Published: September 2024

Disinformation and propaganda directed at foreign countries is an important tool in Russia's geopolitical power ambitions, including its war against Ukraine. The European Union and individual nation states, both inside and outside the Union, have developed complex responses to this multifaceted phenomenon. This article focuses on just one of them: the EU embargo on the RT television channel. It will review media analyses of RT, some of the legal action taken against it, and analyse the background and rationale behind the EU's blocking regulation. It points out that, while international media law literature has examined the issue from the perspective of freedom of expression, the European Union has treated the channel as a political weapon. The article argues that democracies need to take decisive action to defend their structures, and that this may require unconventional measures in times of disruption to the international order.
War shock and the economy
Authors: Halmai Péter
Published: September 2024

The main features of war shock are substantially different from those of the preceding COVID-19 shock. The EU economy is showing important elements of resilience. The existing structural forces and adaptive capacity of the EU economy are clear indications that it is capable of transformation and avoiding recession.

The dynamics of the war is also crucial in terms of economic impacts. There are still many uncertainties about the future course of the war and its ramifications. The fundamental question is whether the war is heading in the direction of escalation or de-escalation. Unless the war spreads beyond Ukraine and the conventional means of warfare, its global economic consequences may be limited after the initial shock. New adjustment processes in the field of green and digital transition can be set in motion in parallel with the suffering and turmoil of war shock. New market players could emerge in the energy markets.

The prolonged war continues to challenge the Ukrainian economy, but it can remain viable with massive external support. The Russian economy could suffer serious erosion, with its comparative advantage being wasted.

There is a real threat of deglobalisation and the emergence of a fragmented world economy, but the counteracting factors appear to be much stronger. However, the prolonged war continues to pose major and unpredictable threats to the countries affected directly and indirectly, to Europe and to the world economy.
Pragmatic ellipsis and its pragmatic consequences
Authors: Chen Yifan , Hu Xuhui
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on the chunk ye shi (literally “also be”) in Chinese. Ye is a contrastive focus marker, yet in some ye shi sentences, there is no overt alternative for contrast. Besides, these sentences carry specific pragmatic implicatures. We propose that these sentences do not form a challenge to ye’s status as a contrastive focus marker. Ye has two core properties: (1) it presupposes the existence of alternatives to contrast with the focus it marks; (2) it implicates a sense of counter-expectation when marking the focus. These two properties can account for all uses of ye shi, including their specific implicatures. Moreover, these two properties are assumed to be shared by ye-type contrastive focus markers cross-linguistically. The alternative evoked by ye shi can be elided through a mechanism named by us as pragmatic ellipsis. It differs from the traditional syntactic ellipsis. The way how ye shi obtains the pragmatic ellipsis use reflects a syntax-to-pragmatics way of grammaticalisation, challenging the unidirectionality hypothesis proposed by Hopper and Traugott (1993).

One of the possible ways to improve it could be the creation of a museum of Jewish culture in Samarkand, which would meet modern standards and act as a center of tolerance and a place for the study and development of the disappearing culture. The survey helps to define the parameters of the museum concept more precisely and to make the first steps towards the formation of the museum community.
CLIMATIZANDO TUDO: DO AMBIENTALISMO AO MUNDO JURÍDICO, VELHAS E NOVAS ESTRATÉGIAS DE PODER NOS CONFLITOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS
Authors: Losekann Cristiana , De Sousa Castro Ana Carolina
Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho procura compreender as transformações do ambientalismo no Brasil, com foco na inserção do tema das mudanças climáticas nessa agenda e no papel do campo jurídico na construção de enquadramentos climáticos. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, utilizou entrevistas com 59 ambientalistas e juristas, além da análise de 99 processos judiciais, extraídos de dois bancos de dados sobre litígios climáticos: o banco JUMA da PUC-RJ e o JusClima2030 do Conselho Nacional de Justiça. O uso de uma abordagem multimétodos permitiu uma compreensão mais abrangente das estratégias e dos enquadramentos jurídicos desenvolvidos. Os resultados apontam para o surgimento de uma nova dinâmica de atuação jurídica, onde a sociedade civil e os partidos políticos ganham protagonismo, competindo com os atores tradicionais, como o Ministério Público e o IBAMA. A pesquisa também revela que o desmatamento e a mudança de uso da terra são os principais temas dos litígios climáticos no Brasil, refletindo o perfil de emissões do país. Além disso, observou-se que a participação de empresas em litígios climáticos é cada vez mais frequente, especialmente em setores como petróleo, gás natural e mineração. As conclusões sugerem que a expansão dos litígios climáticos está diretamente ligada ao contexto político e ao financiamento desses litígios.
Determination of orthodontic anomaly patterns in patients in the Thrace region and assessment of the relationship between orthodontic anomalies and DMFT indices: a retrospective study
Authors: Uzunçıbuk Hande , Tekbaş Atay Meltem
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental and skeletal anomalies that could be a cause of malocclusion and their relationship with caries distribution in the western region of Türkiye.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: A retrospective study was conducted with 1815 digital panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs taken from patients, age ranging between 6 and 47 years, who applied for orthodontic treatment. The lateral cephalometric radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and dental records were reviewed according to skeletal anomaly, dental malocclusion (Angle classification), and decay-missing- filling teeth (DMFT) index. Kruskal Wallis test was used in intergroup comparisons of variables that did not show normal distribution, and Dunn’s multiple comparison test was used in subgroup comparisons. The chi-square test and Yates correction were used in comparisons of qualitative data.
RESULTS: The mean DMFT of the dental Class I malocclusion group was statistically and significantly lower than Class II division 1 and Class III malocclusion groups (p < 0.05). The mean DMFT index of Class II subdivision malocclusion group was statistically and significantly lower than that of Class III malocclusion group (p < 0.05). The DMFT index was significantly lower in the skeletal
Class I group compared to the skeletal Class II and Class III anomaly groups (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: There is a correlation between DMFT indices and dental malocclusions as well as skeletal anomalies. By correcting dental malocclusions and skeletal anomalies with orthodontic treatment and providing ideal occlusion, it becomes easier for patients to maintain oral hygiene and DMFT indices might decrease.
Considerações sobre a paisagem sociocultural e ambiental do Rio Jaú
Authors: Lyra Anna Maria Galvão Carneiro , Constantino Norma Regina Truppel
Published: September 2024

Despite fundamental roles of rivers in the history and evolution of urban centers, city design has often disregarded water networks in the midst of accelerated urban expansion. The lack of connection between rivers and the urban landscape has over time contributed to the exacerbation of socio-environmental problems. This research aims at understanding the relationship between the Jaú River and Jaú’s cityscape through the following perspectives proposed by Jean-Marc Besse (2014): historical, sociocultural and socio-environmental landscapes. The river landscape of Jaú is characterized based on information taken from scientific and documentary sources (textual, iconographic and cartographic). The results of analysis are then presented to systematically characterize challenges to landscape planning in this case study. This research pertains to the contemporary effort aiming at understanding landscapes by analyzing historical and current perspectives allowing us to restore connections between a city and its natural environment. In conclusion, it is argued that the neglect of the Jaú River valley throughout urban expansion contributed to the disconnection between the river landscape, the city and its inhabitants’ daily lives. As an alternative, we propose a landscape planning process that integrates the river’s environmental and social dimensions.

Uncertainty Response Scale: The Assessment Tool for Adolescent Interaction with Multidimensional Stress
Authors: Odintsova M.A. , Radchikova N.P. , Sorokova M.G.
Published: September 2024

The adaptation of the Uncertainty Response Scale (URS) aimed at studying the ways in which adolescents interact with uncertainty stress situations is described. The scale contains 25 questions and includes three subscales: “Emotional uncertainty,” “Cognitive uncertainty,” and “Desire for change”. The questionnaire has good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha for scales 0.85-0.93; CFI=0.93; TLI=0.92; RMSEA=0.060 [0.057; 0.062]; SRMR=0.06) in a sample of adolescents from different regions of the Russian Federation (N=1718; age from 12 to 18 years; average age 14±1 years; 53.8% female). The URS validity is confirmed by the expected correlations with the scales of the “Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale” and “Multidimensional School Engagement Scale”. The validity is also supported by the fact that the URS allows to differentiate respondents in different stressful situations: if a teenager finds himself in a maximally stressful situation, emotional reactions to uncertainty increase, while cognitive reactions to uncertainty are quite stable, and readiness for change decreases. The “Response to Uncertainty Scale” can be used to conduct large-scale longitudinal studies, studies of adolescents from different groups, including vulnerable groups, as well as individual studies to build subsequent practice of psychological assistance.

The definition of the budgetary procedure is given and, based on the powers of the internal state financial control body, the budgetary procedures within which control monitoring is carried out are specified. The subject of control monitoring has been defined, which is to ensure that the object of control complies with the rules of accounting, preparation and provision of accounting (financial) statements, fulfillment of the terms of contracts (agreements) for the provision of budgetary funds, provision of reports on the implementation of state programs and government assignments, etc. The implementation of the powers to conduct control monitoring is carried out through operational and proactive interaction between the objects of control and the Federal Treasury through automated (information) systems, which allows you to receive real-time data on the use of financial resources and form a motivational opinion on the need to adjust the financial and economic activities of the object of control.
Legal regulation of liability for failure to fulfill a state or municipal task of an institution
Authors: Yagovkina V. A.
Published: September 2024

The article, based on the results of the research conducted by the author, identifies the basic requirements for the formation of state and municipal tasks of state (municipal) institutions, and also analyzes the regulations that consolidate them and influence the assessment by budget control authorities of compliance with the procedure for the formation and execution of state and municipal tasks. The features of the legal regulation of the formation of the task and the requirements for it are analyzed, related to the level of public legal education — the founder and the sectoral characteristics of the activities of the institution itself. It is stated that the values of performance indicators and acceptable deviations from their achievement are not always the same for similar or analogous services in different industries, which should be taken into account when determining whether a violation has occurred. The author examines the legal basis for holding people accountable for violations related to the formation and execution of an assignment, including its financing from the budget. Based on an analysis of legal norms and judicial practice, some features of the approaches of control bodies and courts to assessing such violations are highlighted.

Published: September 2024

The article is concerned with the application of tax benefits established for organisations in the field of information technology. The article analyses the conditions for the application of manoeuvre benefits in the IT industry. For the purposes of the research, the authors consider topical problems related to the qualification of certain types of revenue in the income from the IT activities. In addition, the authors formulated a proposal to improve the legislation in this area.

It is pointed out that income from IT activities does not include income received from the use of computer programmes and databases connected with the receipt of banking and financial services. However, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain a precise definition of the concept of “financial service” and there is no concept of “banking service” at all.

Evaluation of Performance Indicator Development: A Study at The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Republic of Indonesia
Authors: Andari Nestri Retno , Akbar Rusdi
Published: September 2024

Research aims: This study evaluates the development of performance indicators using the performance blueprint analysis tool and determines the institutional factors that play a role in the development of performance indicators.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative research with a case study approach was conducted at the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Research findings: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' performance indicator development has applied the principle of logical flow so that the programs and activities set have supported the strategic goals. In addition, most of the performance indicators include results and quality-oriented. However, weak documentation means that the logic flow is not well illustrated. This research captures the phenomena of isomorphism (coercive, mimetic, and normative), institutional logic, and institutional entrepreneurship in the performance measurement system (including the development of performance indicators) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In addition, 15 institutional factors play a role in the development of performance indicators in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, namely external parties, institutional idealism, initiation, efforts (related to accountability and performance indicator development), human resources, mindset, documentation, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), leadership commitment, logical framework principles, the role of stakeholders, business processes, reward and punishment, training, and information systems.
Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research complements knowledge related to evaluating the development of performance indicators with performance blueprint analysis and institutional factors that play a role in the development of performance indicators, as well as knowledge about the phenomenon of institutional isomorphism, logic and entrepreneurship in government agencies.
Practitioner/Policy implication: Ministries/agencies and regulatory agencies can use the performance blueprint analysis tool so that they can develop appropriate indicators and support policy making.
Research limitation/Implication: The research focused only on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so the results do not reflect the development of performance indicators in other government agencies. In addition, the interviews did not take the point of view of external parties who have a relationship with the development of performance indicators of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

METHODS: Two procedures were proposed: defining the fovea and segmenting the choroid. Fovea localization from B-scan OCT image sequence with three-dimensional reconstruction (LocBscan-3D) predicted fovea location using central foveal depression features, and fovea localization from two-dimensional en-face OCT (LocEN-2D) used a mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) model for optic disc detection, and determined the fovea location based on optic disc relative position. Choroid segmentation also employed Mask R-CNN.
RESULTS: For 53 eyes in 28 healthy subjects, LocBscan-3D’s mean difference between manual and predicted fovea locations was 170.0 μm, LocEN-2D yielded 675.9 μm. LocEN-2D performed better in non-high myopia group (P=0.02). SFCT measurements from Mask R-CNN aligned with manual values.
CONCLUSION: Our models accurately predict SFCT in OCT images. LocBscan-3D excels in precise fovea localization even with high myopia. LocEN-2D shows high detection rates but lower accuracy especially in the high myopia group. Combining both models offers a robust SFCT assessment approach, promising efficiency and accuracy for large-scale studies and clinical use.

AIM: To evaluate if topical use of αB-crystallin mini-peptides supports corneal healing following flap surgery.
METHODS: Cultured corneal cells were treated with fluorescent tagged αB-crystallin mini-peptides to assess its internalization. Cultured corneal cells pre-treated with or without the mini-peptides were exposed to H2O2 and cell viability was examined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Elongation of neurites of cultured trigeminal neurones was examined following treatment either with αB-crystallin mini-peptides or protein. Cultured trigeminal neurones were pre-treated either with αB-crystallin mini-peptides or crystallin protein and exposed to H2O2 and presence of beading in the dendrites and axons was assessed. Corneal flap surgery was conducted on rabbit cornea and treated topically either with αB-crystallin peptide (0.5 mg/mL thrice daily for 14d) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Corneal healing was evaluated under slit-lamp biomicroscope, mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines were assessed and the corneas were evaluated by histopathology.
RESULTS: Internalization of αB-crystallin mini-peptides was ascertained by the detection of fluorescence within the corneal cells. The MTT assay revealed that treatment with αB-crystallin mini-peptide reduced cell death induced by H2O2 treatment. The mini-peptides did not influence the elongation of trigeminal neurites, but significantly (P<0.05) reduced beading in the neurites. In rabbit eye, the treated corneas showed reduced hyper-reflective zones (P<0.05) and suppression in the expression of inflammatory cytokines. Histopathological examination also revealed reduction of inflammatory response in treated corneas.
CONCLUSION: The αB-crystallin mini-peptides restrict the damage to corneal cells and neurons and aids in corneal healing.

AIM: To investigate the effect of using base-out prisms on nystagmus, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with albinism.
METHODS: In this interventional study, patients with albinism who had nystagmus were enrolled. A comprehensive eye exam was conducted, which included refraction, assessment of far and near vision acuity, and contrast sensitivity measurements. To check for the nystagmus, a videonystagmography was used. The tests were carried out in three modes: without any correction, with optical correction, and with correction using base-out prisms in three different powers, including 4, 6, and 8 prism diopters.
RESULTS: Totally 23 patients with average age of 28.65±12.13 were examined. It was found that the use of optical correction and optical correction with prisms resulted in a statistically significant improvement in both far (at least: P<0.006) and near visual acuity (at least: P<0.001 except for prism 8; P<0.02). In addition, contrast sensitivity significantly improved at all low and medium frequencies except for correction with prism 8 in frequency 1.5 (at least: P<0.01 except for prism 4, frequency 6; P=0.04). no significant improvement was observed in the evaluation of nystagmus characteristics.
CONCLUSION: Optical correction with a prism can improve visual acuity and some spatial frequencies, but failed to improve nystagmus parameters.

AIM: To describe the distribution of ocular biometrics and to evaluate its associations with refractive error and to assess the contribution from ocular parameters to refractive error among Chinese myopic children.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study evaluated subjects aged 8-12y. Keratometry, ocular biometry, and cycloplegic autorefraction were performed on each subject. Spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and ocular biometrics were assessed as a function of age and gender. The Pearson correlation analysis between SER and ocular biometrics was carried out. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the association between SER and ocular parameters.
RESULTS: A total of 689 out of 735 participants (321 boys, 48.1%) were analyzed, with a mean SER of -2.98±1.47 diopter (D). Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal radius of curvature (CR), horizontal visible iris diameter (HVID), central corneal thickness (CCT) and lens power (LP) showed normal distribution. The AL, AL/CR ratio, ACD and CR increased from 8 to 12y of age, while SER and LP decreased, HVID and CCT remained stable. There was no difference in gender. SER decreased by 0.929 D for every 1 mm increase in AL and decreased by 1.144 D for every 0.1 increase in AL/CR ratio. The Pearson correlation coefficient between SER and AL was -0.538 (P<0.01) and -0.747 (P<0.01) between SER and AL/CR ratio. For the SER variance, AL explained 29.0%, AL/CR ratio explained 55.7%, while AL, CR, ACD and LP explained 99.3% after adjusting for age and gender.
CONCLUSION: The AL, CR, ACD and LP are the most important determinants of myopic refractive error during myopia progression.

AIM: To synthesize the current body of research regarding the diurnal variations in intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal biomechanical and morphological parameters, highlighting their significance in various eye conditions.
METHODS: A comprehensive review of studies on the diurnal variations of IOP and corneal parameters was conducted. Tonometry findings from various studies were assessed, including the Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and non-contact tonometers. Data on the variations in central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal curvature, and corneal biomechanics measured by the Ocular Response Analyzer system across different population groups was extracted and analyzed.
RESULTS: In both healthy subjects and those with Fuchs dystrophy, IOP and CCT demonstrate marked diurnal declines. GAT remains the gold standard for tonometry, with the highest reliability. However, its measurements are influenced by CCT. Keratoconus patients and those with pseudoexfoliation showed significant diurnal variations in IOP. The biomechanical parameters, especially corneal hysteresis (CH) and the corneal resistance factor (CRF), largely remain stable throughout the day for most of eye conditions, with some exceptions. Notably, the corneal morphology diurnal variation, particularly curvature, yielded mixed conclusions across studies.
CONCLUSION: Circadian rhythms significantly influence various corneal parameters, most notably IOP and CCT. Further studies should emphasize standardized approaches larger sample sizes, and delve deeper into less-explored areas, such as the effects of orthokeratology lenses on diurnal biomechanical shifts.
