“THE GORBACHEV PHENOMENON”: THE COLLAPSE OF THE USSR THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE NEW POLITICAL ECONOMY
Authors: Orekhovsky P. А.
Published: October 2022

The tools of the new political economy are rarely used in the analysis of the problems of the Soviet economy. A homogeneous society without class contradictions, with a quota socialist electoral system, and the absolute dominance of one ruling party formally contradicts the basic premises of this toolkit. At present time most researchers agree, that Soviet society was heterogeneous (some scientists even attribute class contradictions to it), but do not go any further. This progress is contradicted by the idea of the USSR as an ideocratic state, based on the civil religion of Marxism-Leninism. But the latter explains the stability of the political regime, not its collapse. The new political economy makes it possible to notice that the USSR was a formal confederation, which became a reality when party influence was neutralized, as well as a corporate state, within which there was a sharp political struggle for resources. These relations were masked by the myth of public property, which was socialist state property. As it seemed to Soviet theoreticians, a single national economic complex was indivisible. The rupture of economic ties was not beneficial to both enterprises and national elites. Nevertheless, the Soviet conditions made the orientation towards obtaining the maximum of centralized investments with the subsequent withdrawal of the republic from the single economic space quite rational. Institutional conditions, within which the institutions that protect the state from disintegration are neutralized, are periodically encountered in situations of power transit. The «Gorbachev Phenomenon» is a situation in which there is a paralysis of power associated with sharp contradictions within the ruling coalition. In such a situation, the private interests of small groups become politically legitimate, and it is almost impossible to stop the collapse of the state.
Role of the CSTO in Promotion of Collective Security
Authors: Chufrin G. I.
Published: October 2022

This article presented to the attention of readers is dedicated to the analysis of history, present condition and development prospects of inter-state relations on national and regional security between former Soviet republics, now new sovereign Eurasian states, as well as to the examination of organization forms of such relations. Having formulated basic principles of cooperation on these issues and underlying the need of collective and coordinated activities against threats to their security and stability in new geopolitical realities stipulated by the collapse of the USSR nine post-Soviet states concluded the Collective Security Treaty which came into force in 1994. Five years later, in April 1999, presidents of six these countries, namely Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan, signed the protocol on prolongation of the Collective Security Treaty for the next five years while Azerbaijan, Georgia and Uzbekistan refused to extend their membership in the Treaty and left it. It happened since due to a number of various domestic and external reasons the formation of national statehood of new sovereign states began to differ substantially from each other as to their strategic goals, aspirations and orientations which subsequently caused serious changes in their approaches to building relations with their foreign partners in bilateral and multilateral forms. In this connection in May 2002 those countries that retained their membership in the Collective Security Treaty decided to reorganize it into a new alliance with a higher degree of integration of its members in order to increase its role in promoting national and regional security – the Collective Security Treaty Organization. The present article examines basic events connected with the Collective Security Treaty Organization formation over the next 20 years, evolution of its goals and tasks, as well as requirements of making concrete directions of its activities more precise because of fundamental changes in the international environment. In the course of the undertaken analysis most important achievements of the Collective Security Treaty Organization during these years were singled out as well as concrete shortcomings in its activities were noted. Also, alternative variants of further development of this international security organization including those that may exceed the post-Soviet space were mentioned.

Authors: Сладкова Юлия Д.
Published: October 2022

Опираясь на периодизацию Л. С. Выготского, в статье проводится анализ шести основных кризисов детского возраста (кризис новорожденности, кризис одного года, кризис трёх лет, кризис семи лет, кризис тринадцати лет, кризис семнадцати лет). В данной статье впервые рассмотрены все шесть детских кризисов и даны рекомендации по их благополучному преодолению. Во введении автором раскрыта сущность детских кризисов, они описаны как особые этапы развития ребёнка.

В «Теоретическом обосновании» рассмотрены особенности детских кризисов согласно мнению разных авторов, раскрыто определение понятия «кризис».

Также в статье выделены факторы возникновения кризисов и формы их протекания. Для каждого возрастного кризиса подробно описаны новообразования и способы положительного преодоления критического периода. Затронуты положительные и отрицательные стороны прохождения кризисов ребёнком. Автором раскрываются три основных взаимосвязанных между собой вида отношений к окружающей действительности – отношение к самому себе, к другим людям и к предметному миру. Подробно раскрывается проблема влияния кризисов детского развития на взаимодействие с окружающими людьми.  Раскрыты особенности и стили взаимодействия воспитателя и воспитанника, описаны формы взаимодействия родителей и педагогов с ребёнком. Акцент ставится на взаимодействии ребёнка не только совместно с родителями, но также и с воспитателями и учителями. Автором раскрыты формы взаимодействия воспитателя (педагога) и ребёнка для преодоления кризисных явлений в его развитии.

В разделе «Заключение» раскрывается важность совместной помощи (родителей и педагогов) ребёнку, которая способствует благополучному протеканию трудных периодов развития. Именно комплексная работа родителей, воспитателей/педагогов способна не оттолкнуть ребёнка, а наоборот, помочь ему в успешном разрешении кризисных ситуаций; для ребёнка такие моменты являются значимыми, а их успешное прохождение будет способствовать развитию эмоциональной устойчивости, открытости и эмпатии.
Завышенные ожидания семьи как фактор формирования синдрома отложенной жизни
Authors: Найденова Елизавета В.
Published: October 2022

В статье рассмотрен вопрос причин возникновения синдрома отложенной жизни. Основное внимание в работе акцентируется на завышенных ожиданиях семьи как факторе формирования сценария и невроза отложенной жизни. Актуальность работы обуславливается широким распространением обозреваемого феномена. Новизна работы заключается в том, что представлен новый взгляд на проблему происхождения синдрома отложенной жизни. В работе впервые затрагивается вопрос возможности связи между уровнем родительских ожиданий от ребенка и формированием у него сценария отложенной жизни. Во введении автор приводит актуальность исследования, которая продиктована распространением синдрома отложенной жизни, его влиянием на жизнь людей и популяризацией данной темы в СМИ. Также приводится аналитический обзор различных подходов к вопросам синдрома отложенной жизни, жизненным сценариям и их происхождениям. Для исследования было проанкетировано 100 человек в возрасте от 18 до 65 лет. Такой выбор эмпирического объекта был сделан в связи с представлением о данной группе, как о личностях, сформировавших свои жизненные цели, планы и ценности, способные оценивать оказанное на них родительское влияние. В разделе «Методы» обозначены основные способы анализа как теоретических, так и эмпирических данных. Результаты исследования показывают связи между синдромом отложенной жизни и уровнем ожиданий семьи. В разделе «Обсуждение результатов» автор отмечает, что в семьях, в которых детям часто ставятся труднодостижимые цели особенно мотивируя их свершением желаний, важных для самих детей, есть основа для формирования и закрепления у ребенка сценария отложенной жизни. В более осознанном возрасте человек либо продолжает так же, как его приучили в детстве, откладывать удовлетворение каких-то потребностей на период после достижения глобальной цели, либо продолжит стремиться к целям, поставленным из вне.

Authors: Skrobach Nadiia , Shapoval Oksana , Vyshyvanyuk Vira , Petryna Vitalii
Published: October 2022

The needs of Ukraine’s economic development require the creation of new, innovative technologies that take into account changes in the social and spiritual life of young people, the need to form a harmonious personality and optimize the learning process. New pedagogical technologies are aimed primarily at “providing conditions for self-realization of student’s essential capabilities in various kinds of theoretical and practical activities, in dynamic life in the new market conditions”.

An essential feature of modern innovation processes in the field of education and upbringing is their technologization – a strict compliance with the content and sequence of stages of innovation implementation.

The difference between technology and methodology is a fundamental issue for modern pedagogics. Technology and methodology are distinguished by two main points: the guarantee of the final outcome and planning of the future educational process.

The varieties of personality-centered pedagogical technologies include personality developmental teaching, productive teaching, personalized teaching and technology of higher labor, self-development, technology of humanism.

Analyzing the features of higher pedagogical education technologization, the attention should be paid to an increase in the need for the use of new information technologies in the training of new generation specialists for modern educational systems. New information technologies (NIT) are defined as a set of methods and technological means of collecting, organizing, storing, processing, transmitting and presenting information that increases people’s knowledge and develops their capabilities to manage technological and social problems.

Pedagogical technology is interpreted according to three aspects: the scientific aspect (pedagogical technology as a component of pedagogical science that creates pedagogical processes in pedagogical systems); procedural and descriptive aspect (description, process algorithm, a set of goals, content of methods and means to achieve guaranteed results according to the goal); procedural and effectual aspect (implementation of the technological process, functioning of all personal tools).
Changes in the Oral Microbiocenosis in the Process of Different Adhesive Agents Use for Fixation of Complete Removable Laminar Dentures
Authors: Redushko Yuriy , Kutsyk Roman
Published: October 2022

The use of adhesives to improve the fixation of complete removable laminar dentures, along with numerous benefits for the patient, creates additional risks of imbalance in some representatives of the oral microflora and, consequently, may cause or maintain the development of prosthetic stomatitis and worsen oral hygiene. Therefore, it is important to study the prevention of disorders of the normobiocenosis of the oral cavity due to the differentiated choice of adhesives based on their antimicrobial activity. The study represents the peculiarities of changes in the oral normomicrobiocenosis in the process of the prescribed adhesives’ use for fixing complete removable laminar dentures.

The aim of the study – is to study the changes in the oral microbiocenosis in the process of adhesives use for fixing complete removable laminar dentures and to assess the effectiveness of their choice based on the results.

Materials and methods of the study. There were examined 120 people, who used full removable laminar dentures, 90 of them used adhesive means prescribed by a dentist for three weeks to improve fixation. All patients were sampled for bacteriological examination. Based on the analysis of culture results for microorganisms in each Group, the constancy index was determined – sowing frequency in percent and population level – colonization mass in lg CFU/ml.

Results of the study. In comparison with persons who did not use adhesives to improve the fixation of removable dentures and data before the study it was determined that the adhesive “Corega” had a preservative effect on the normoflora, reduced the population level of pathogenic coccal microflora, yeasts; adhesive “Laсalut” had an inhibitive effect on all representatives of the normal microflora, reduced sowing frequency and population level of β-hemolytic streptococci, but did not affect the pathogenic activity of Staphylococcus aureus, yeasts and gram-negative bacteria; adhesive “Protefix” had a suppressive effect on the normoflora, did not affect the population level of pathogenic microorganisms and even increased the massiveness of colonization by gram-negative bacteria.

Conclusions. Taking into account the determined changes in the oral microbiocenosis in persons who used adhesives to improve the fixation of complete removable laminar dentures, we can talk about the effectiveness of the adhesive “Сorega” for long-term use in the absence of complications in prosthetic bed tissues and with proper hygienic care of the oral cavity; adhesives “Laсalut” and “Protefix” in patients with existing dysbiotic disorders and with subsequent control of the impact on the resident microflora of the oral cavity.
Changes in the Metabolism of Nitric Oxide, Hydrogen Sulfide of the Oral Fluid Taking into Account Age and Dental Status
Authors: Barabash Oleh , Voronych-Semchenko Nataliia , Kryvenkyi Taras
Published: October 2022

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the prevalence of dental pathology, its complicated course in senior age and the search for the age-associated metabolic markers of oral fluid.

Objective. The aim of the study is: to determine the age peculiarities of the content of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide metabolism in the oral fluid of patients, taking into account their dental status.

Materials and Methods. Indicators of nitric oxide metabolism, L-arginine/arginase, hydrogen sulfide content in oral fluid, dental status of different aged people under conditions of intact dentitions, their defects and against the background of correction with different types of dentures, were studied.

Results. It was determined that with age, changes in oral fluid are characterized by an increase in nitrite ion, the amount of nitrites and nitrates, increasing the formation of peroxynitrite against the background of lower levels of L-arginine and hydrogen sulfide, inhibition of arginase activity. The results obtained are confirmed by the presence of close correlations between the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and peroxynitrite (reverse, strong), caries intensity and: the total level of nitrites and nitrates (direct, strong), peroxynitrite content (direct, medium strength).

Conclusion. The studied biomarkers of oral fluid depend more on age, hygienic condition of the oral cavity, intensity of dental caries and defects of dentitions than types of dentures. Therefore, age-related changes in the biochemical composition of oral fluid, metabolic, somatic, comorbid pathologies are likely to be a trigger for structural-functional disorders of the dental-maxillofacial system.

Authors: Kupnovytska Iryna , Mykula Yuliia
Published: October 2022

Cardiac diseases, especially chronic heart failure which, according to the World Health Organization, affects 1.5-2% of the global population, are the number one cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, including Ukraine. Chronic heart failure is often accompanied by endocrine disorders, especially hypothyroidism, the diagnosis of which has increased over the past 10 years, and which facilitates the rapid progression of heart failure due to reduced metabolic processes and altered lipid metabolism.

          The objective of the research was to study clinical manifestations, lipid metabolism indicators and their relationship in patients with chronic heart failure of ischemic genesis and coexisting primary hypothyroidism.

          Materials and Methods. 73 patients with the average age of 55.92±2.66 years were examined. They were divided into 2 groups: Group I included 38 patients with chronic heart failure and coexisting hypothyroidism; Group II comprised 35 heart failure patients without hypothyroidism. The clinical course of chronic heart failure itself and chronic heart failure with coexisting hypothyroidism was studied, the patients’ quality of life was evaluated, the myocardial function was studied by means of the 6-minute walk test, the indicators of lipid profile were analyzed by determining the serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. To assess thyroid function, thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroxine levels were determined by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.

               Results and Discussion. The clinical course and quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure and coexisting hypothyroidism were worse as compared to patients without hypothyroidism. The serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol differed between both groups of patients (p<0.05).

          Conclusions. Blood lipid profile was more significantly impaired in the patients with chronic heart failure of ischemic genesis and coexisting primary hypothyroidism that could result in the rapid progression of chronic heart failure, a more severe clinical course, and more frequent complications.        The quality of life was higher in patients with heart failure without hypothyroidism and their condition was significantly better.
A critique of physicalist interpretation of human intellect. Aristotelian and Thomistic approach
Authors: Rowan Anna M.
Published: October 2022

The dissertation focuses on the arguments for the non-physical nature of the intellect through the works of Aristotle and Aquinas. The goal of this work is to show that the methods, concepts, and distinctions used in Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ arguments continue to be a solid foundation for the understanding of the intellect and its acts. Selected arguments for the immateriality of the intellect by contemporary philosophers, and analysis of the role of the observer in quantum phenomena, demonstrate how Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ ideas continue to be used in present-day arguments for the non-physical nature of the human intellect and thus confirm the enduring value of their insights. I suggest that, in contrast to physicalist interpretations of the human mind, Aristotle’s method of inquiry, augmented by Aquinas, is more suitable to study a human being in his entirety and especially the human intellect. The approach comprises a detailed interpretation and discussion within the system of Aristotle’s and Aquinas’ primary works in translation, as well as selected works of contemporary scholars.

Despite the increase in use and interest in mobile devices by older adults, to date, there is still limited research carried out to better understand older adults’ usage and needs as they relate to such devices. As such, this research examined the use of two types of mobile devices, smartphones, and tablets, by older adults (i.e., age 65+), as well as the use of a new interface, developed for research purposes, called “PhonAge”. This study was exploratory, and utilizes frequency data and tables, in order to get a sense of older adults’ usage patterns with this interface. Specifically, this research focused on older adults’ use of the different features and functions of both the PhonAge interface as well as older adults’ usage of the smartphones and tablets themselves.
An Empirical Study on the Communication and Usage Psychology of Emoji in Wechat
Authors: Liu Han , Gao Biao , Wang Xingxing
Published: October 2022

As an indispensable active atmosphere and meaningful emotional expression in social media, emojis describe the emotions of users in specific situations in a funny, humorous, euphemistic, and implicit form and attract users to use them consciously or unconsciously with their quick and convenient features. Currently, the research on the psychology of emoji usage is mostly from the perspective of users, while neglecting the essential attributes of emojis. The purpose of this study was to investigate and summarize the multi-dimensional factors that affect the communication and usage of emojis and to elucidate the influence of the essential attributes of emojis on their use. This study took the users of WeChat (the most widely used instant messaging app in China) as the research object. Data were collected utilizing semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. SPSS 25.0 software was applied to conduct exploratory factor analysis on relevant data to explore and summarize several dimensions of WeChat users’ emoji communication and usage psychology. The results showed that gender, age, education, and occupation were important factors affecting the usage and communication of emojis. The psychology of emoji usage had multi-dimensional characteristics and according to the self-determination theory, it could be divided into internal and external factors. The internal factors included information, efficiency, and entertainment, and the external factors included communicativeness, culture, image, fuzziness, and context. Notably, the influence of fuzziness on the psychology of emoji usage has described the critical role of the essential attributes of emojis, which complemented the neglect of the fuzziness of emoji in previous studies, which might provide a direction for the design of emojis.

STUDY OF RESISTANCE TO FIRST-LINE DRUGS IN MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE TUBERCULOSIS SUSPECTS FROM SPUTUM SAMPLES BY GOLD STANDARD – STANDARD ECONOMIC VARIANT 1% PROPORTION METHOD IN NORTH COASTAL ANDHRA PRADESH
Authors: Mohan Nitin , Jyothi Padmaja Indugula , Dusi Ratna Harika , Suresh Kancharla
Published: October 2022

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to culture Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum samples of multidrug resistance (MDR) suspects on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) media, to test for susceptibility and resistance to first-line antitubercular drugs rifampicin (RMP), isoniazid (INH), streptomycin (SM), and ethambutol (EMB) by conventional DST on LJ media by standard economic variant proportion (1%) method and to calculate the rate of MDR and pattern of drug resistance in MDR tuberculosis (MDR-TB) suspects.
Methods: A prospective, laboratory-based study was done on a total of 80 samples from cases of suspected pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB. Identification of culture isolates as M. tuberculosis was done by susceptibility to p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNB), niacin test, and catalase activity at 68°C/pH 7. Drug sensitivity testing (DST) of M. tuberculosis cultures on LJ medium for drugs was performed by a standard economic variant of the 1% proportion method.
Results: Among MDR suspects, the maximum is in the age group of 45–60 years (35%) with a mean age of 42.75±15.93 years. The sex ratio of male to female is 2:1. Out of 80 samples, 36 samples (45%) were graded 1+, 31 samples (38.7%) 2+, and 13 samples (16.3%) 3+. All 80 sputum samples showed growth on LJ media within 8 weeks. When colonies obtained on LJ medium were subjected to biochemical tests for identification, all were positive for M. tuberculosis. Out of 80 M. tuberculosis isolates tested for sensitivity against first-line drugs (except pyrazinamide), 45 (56.3%) were found to be sensitive to all four drugs (INH, RMP, EMB, and SM), and 35 (43.7%) were resistant to at least one drug. Nine isolates (11.3%) showed resistance to a single drug (monoresistance). The various MDR patterns were INH+RMP seen in 6 strains (7.5%) and INH+RMP+SM seen in 4 strains (5%).
Conclusion: Drug resistance trends must be closely monitored to evaluate the efficiency of existing therapies and their effect on pulmonary tuberculosis epidemic. To design the new drug regulations, more extensive data on drug sensitivity with standardized testing protocols which is quality assured are required.

AÇÕES PARA A PROMOÇÃO DA RELAÇÃO ESCOLA-FAMÍLIA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Domeni Sonia Maria Avancini , Cericato Itale Luciane
Published: October 2022

O estudo tem por objetivo identificar as ações realizadas por uma escola de educação infantil para construir relações de proximidade com as famílias, buscando contribuir tanto com elementos que permitam a melhor compreensão do fenômeno quanto com a superação de questões que envolvem o cotidiano da gestão das escolas de educação infantil no que se refere ao relacionamento escola-família. Os dados foram coletados por entrevista semiestruturada com a gestora de uma escola pública localizada no município de São Bernardo do Campo e tratados de modo qualitativo por meio do procedimento da análise de prosa (André, 1983), com o referencial dos estudos desenvolvidos na literatura educacional sobre o tema. As evidências encontradas indicam que a escola pesquisada possui ações para a promoção de uma aproximação com as famílias; contudo, essas iniciativas se empobrecem quando assumem o caráter de orientação aos pais sobre como respeitar ou se adaptar as regras e rotinas estipuladas pela instituição. Resistências a essa relação foram identificadas por parte das famílias e dos professores, motivo pelo qual se recomenda a realização de investigações futuras que se preocupem em ouvir as vozes desses sujeitos. As conclusões remetem ao investimento em formas que aprimorem processos formativos docentes em nível continuado e a comunicação entre os diferentes atores envolvidos na comunidade escolar, para facilitar que a relação entre escola e família seja de parceria e tenha a criança como foco.
IDENTIFICAÇÃO POLÍTICA E SIGNIFICAÇÃO DA EXPERIÊNCIA ESCOLAR:
Authors: Ramos da Silva Mariana de Lourdes , Carvalho Teixeira Mariana
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo apresenta parte das análises realizadas na pesquisa de Mestrado em Educação, realizada entre 2017 e 2020, cujo objetivo foi examinar se e como a decisão de revelar ou ocultar a própria sexualidade no ambiente de trabalho influencia na construção da identidade profissional de professores e professoras homossexuais do ensino básico. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com a realização de entrevistas com oito professores atuantes na rede estadual de ensino paulista. Neste trabalho, apresenta-se a terceira categoria de análise desenvolvida na pesquisa citada, chamada “Identificações políticas e significação da experiência escolar”, que explora o tema da política em diferentes perspectivas: as vivências e percepções sobre a militância (no segmento LGBT+ e outros) e as percepções sobre a homossexualidade e/ou identidade LGBT+ enquanto identidade política. O ponto contrastante entre aqueles/as que revelam e aqueles/as que não revelam a própria sexualidade no ambiente de trabalho se dá principalmente quando a identidade do/a professor/a homossexual passa a participar do potencial de significação política das experiências escolares.

O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a experiência resultante da atuação em três edições do Programa Expedição do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Sul de Minas Gerais (IFSULDEMINAS), em que desenvolvemos atividades extensionistas na cidade de Espírito Santo do Dourado-MG, nos anos de 2017 a 2019. No âmbito deste programa, tivemos contato com os dilemas socioculturais enfrentados pela comunidade advinda do processo migratório que ocorre no município, onde há um fluxo intenso de famílias das regiões Norte e Nordeste, as quais têm sido atraídas por oferta de trabalho em lavouras de morango e se deslocado para o município. Mesmo não constando nas demandas que o município apresentou ao programa, ao identificarmos este fenômeno, direcionamos nossas ações com o objetivo de contribuir com aquela comunidade na compreensão das diferenças culturais como elementos agregadores àquela sociedade, utilizando-se de metodologias de educação popular em interlocução com a perspectiva decolonial, em que, orientados pela interculturalidade crítica, buscamos desenvolver as ações extensionistas para se conduzir uma interlocução com a comunidade na busca por contribuir para a difusão da valorização da diversidade, do pluralismo e do princípio inclusivo. Nesse cenário, obtivemos adesão da comunidade local e apoio da gestão municipal, o que possibilitou que retornássemos nos dois anos seguintes contribuindo para que se desenvolvesse um trabalho continuado.

Abstract: The idea proposed in this project is depends on the current situation which all are facing and surviving our single day in a hope that all things will come to end very soon. All are saying that the pandemic is the only reason for all the disasters but that’s not the case there are n numbers of such reasons and one of them is Air pollution. All can easily see how the environment qualities are depleting day by day but we ignore the situations and just let them on their condition, but unless we step by ourselves into it and try to push it all the way possible that situations can’t be get good for us. Air is the important factor in the living things daily life but the quality now a days is so worse that many of us have some ill effects and side effects of the environment. To control and maintain the quality of air many agencies in India are working on it and try to find the easy solutions that can be adapted by the society easily. So in the honour of all such agencies we decided to put some efforts and our time to find the solution and try to have something from our side that can help mankind in such bizarre situation. Air quality monitoring is the important and yet to be fully discovered topic in this area, and also trying to implement the following project that may help to tract down and list down some measures that can be taken in future for better quality air.

Abstract: Super plasticizer has played a significant part in the recent issues of stability, particle suspension, particle segregation, flow properties, and cohesiveness in concrete. This study looked at how self-compacting concrete's characteristics and workability were affected by super plasticizer (SCC). Super plasticizers Conplast Conplast SP 430 is employed in the current investigation with concrete grades M30 and M40. Fresh concrete was used for the workability slump, compressive strength, and flexural strength test. On the hardened concrete, a test for compressive strength was performed. While every mix was acceptable, the one containing Conplast SP 430 had the best workability, compressive strength, and flexural strength. In the present investigation, it is show, how the cement content decreased by 23% and increasing compressive strength, flexural strength and reduced water –cement ratio also.

El crecimiento de los árboles es variable ya que depende del patrimonio genético del individuo, su entorno, de la etapa de desarrollo y la acción del hombre. El objetivo del presente ensayo es presentar una revisión actualizada e integral del estado del arte sobre crecimiento y rendimiento de las plantaciones forestales, con el cual se identifican las investigaciones realizadas y aspectos que faltan por conocer. La superficie forestal plantada a nivel mundial se incrementó considerablemente entre 1990 y 2015 de 167.5 a 277.9 M ha, en el año 2012 a nivel mundial 46.3% de la madera en rollo industrial procedió de plantaciones forestales. En años recientes ha aumentado el interés por conocer los efectos del ambiente sobre las propiedades de la madera; la productividad de las plantaciones forestales está en función del suministro, captura y eficiencia en el uso de los recursos; varios rasgos diferentes pueden modificarse a través del mejoramiento genético, como un crecimiento más vigoroso, resistencia a plagas o enfermedades o la calidad del producto. Resulta indispensable conocer la biología de las especies a establecer en plantaciones y las características agroecológicas del área a plantar, además de definir los objetivos de destino de la producción. Las investigaciones deben proporcionar una comprensión más completa sobre los procesos fisiológicos, la eficiencia del uso de recursos que controlan el desarrollo de la madera y sobre mejoramiento genético.

Imam Al-Qaffāl al-Shāshi was an eminent scholar of the Shafi’i school of fiqh who emphasised on the field of reasoning (ta’lil) and the identification of the wisdom in Islamic jurisprudence. His work “Maḥāsin al-Sharī’ah” contains myriad exposition on the wisdom of rulings, including those considered irrelevant and conjectural. This article discusses the method of exposition employed by Imam Al-Qaffāl in his book. This article is crucial, as accurate knowledge in the wisdom of legislation has a significant relationship with the acceptance of a ruling. It will enhance the certainty and assurance of a Muslim, leading to more openness in the acceptance and adherence to Islamic sharia. This article aims to expose in detail the methods used by Imam Al-Qaffāl in his work. The researcher used the method of descriptive research and analysis for the study. All data in “ Maḥāsin al-Sharī’ah “ related to reasoning (ta’lil) and wisdom of legislation were collected and analysed thematically. The study found that Imam Al-Qaffāl al-Shāshi built his thoughts in the process of the identification of wisdom based on six methods which include employing evidence from the Holy Quran, hadiths, Ijma’, Fatāwa of Sahābah, logical thinking, and the agreement of Islamic scholars before him.
The Fiqhi Thought of Price Volatility in Crypto Asset
Authors: Mohd Noh Mohd Shahid
Published: October 2022

Cryptocurrency gains the popularity among digital investors almost in a decade. Starting with bitcoin or BTC as a pioneer coin in the crypto market, today there are more than five thousand different coins are being traded at every second worldwide. The acceptance among giant companies and countries had shown positive trend that this new asset class might have a bright future. Replacing fiat currency as main currency is a possible even there are too many hurdles and challenges to be solved but to be treated as an investment mode could be accepted in today’s situation. This paper aims to seek a clarification on how Shariah ruling in trading crypto asset, is it Shariah compliant? or at least Shariah-friendly especially when the digital asset always been criticized for being too volatile in their prices that deemed as gharar. As a result, cryptocurrency in general is a legal asset to be traded from Shariah view even it vulnerable to price volatility due to clarity of the transaction, market factors that create the prices and for security purposes. Besides, the trade does not contain any riba element, gharar and maysir also involve in prohibited business.
White/acoustic infrastructure: a crucial tool for the transition to an environmentally sustainable future in urban areas: The case of Paris La Defense, a modern district in dissonance
Authors: Sara El Samman
Published: October 2022

The national lockdown due to COVID-19 abruptly cut down on human activity in cities, and enabled urban dwellers to notice nature’s comeback through birdsong: It has shown that today’s urban environment is in acoustic imbalance.
My research aims to provide an overview on how soundscapes fit into the landscape design process, and to explore the notion of white/sonic infrastructure in order to give a tangible tool for landscape architects to read landscapes with their ears and design acoustically sensible places for all living beings. Sound informs the design process not simply by reducing unwanted noise but by encouraging a sound-considered city design approach. This adopted strategy would entail the extraction and reinterpretation of sonic cues as blueprints for the reshaping of the space and the transformation of the soundscape experience for users and nature alike.
The paper applies all of its findings on Paris La Defense, the biggest business district in Europe, who’s current morphology, within the ring of noise that is the “Boulevard circulaire”, dissociates it from its territory creating acoustic and physical discontinuities.
A study of the flows that animate the site along with its morphology helped me extract the multiple sonotopes (sonic biotopes) that shape the acoustic space of the district. Sound maps were created and a white infrastructure strategy was furthermore developed.
The article develops an elaborate method that could help translate a soundscape vision into concrete landscape design actions and proposes an approach to sonic continuities on large and local scales.
White infrastructure affords the additional dimension necessary to conceive the landscape and to create space for the non-human, for the human, and for the dialogue between them. The notion of eco-acoustic design contributes to shaping a non-anthropocentric city that is considerate of all living things and therefore is crucial to designing ecological urban ecosystems.
Managing Acute Intermediate Risk Pulmonary Thromboembolism in a Patient Who Developed Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia: Review of Current Guidelines and Literature
Authors: Asllanaj Blerina , benge Elizabeth , Bhatia Sapna , McWhorter Yi
Published: October 2022

Mortality rates for pulmonary embolism differ significantly, indicating
a need for escalated management. Treatment options include systemic
anticoagulation, catheter-directed thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy and
surgical thrombectomy. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia is a severe
complication as a result of any form of heparin which limits
pharmacologic therapy with thrombolytics and anticoagulation.
Fatigue crack growth modelling considering a hybrid propagation strategy
Authors: Sérgio E.R. , Antunes Fernando , Neto Diogo
Published: October 2022

Fatigue results from the occurrence of several damage mechanisms and
their interactions. The cyclic plastic strain and damage accumulation at
the crack tip are widely pointed as the main agents behind FCG. In this
work, the authors propose the prediction of FCG through a node release
numerical model that offers several possibilities regarding the
modelling of the mechanisms behind fatigue. A hybrid propagation method
is presented where both cumulative plastic strain and porous damage
represent parallel propagation criteria. Accordingly, the node is
released once either a critical plastic strain or a critical porosity,
at the crack tip, is reached. The Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN)
damage model is employed to predict porous damage evolution through the
processes of nucleation and growth of microvoids. The model is validated
through comparison with experimental data. Finally, the interactions
between plastic strain, porous damage, crack closure and stress
triaxiality are accessed.
