Методом масс-спектрометрии произведен химический анализ почв на территории селения Ниж- ний Унал в Северной Осетии. Было выявлено 50 элементов, но основное внимание было уделено содержанию элементов трех основных классов гигиенической опасности. Было выявлено, что в группе веществ гигиенической опасности первого класса содержание свинца в пробах в среднем превышает предельно допустимые концентрации (ПДК) в 3,3 раза цинка в 6,8 раза кадмия в 2,3 раза мышьяка в 4 раза содержание ртути было ниже ПДК в 4,1 раза. В группе веществ гигиенической опасности второго класса очевидно превышение содержания кобальта в 3,3 раза. Концентрация меди, никеля, молибдена и хрома была значительно ниже ПДК. Проведенное исследование указывает на то, что в почве селения Нижний Унал содержание тяжелых металлов в ряде случаев превышало установленные нормы ПДК.

The objective of this paper is to obtain an upper bound (not sharp) to the third order Hankel determinant for certain subclass of multivalent (p-valent) analytic functions, defined in the open unit disc E. Using the Toeplitz determinants, we may estimate the Hankel determinant of third kind for the normalized multivalent analytic functions belongng to this subclass. But, using the technique adopted by Zaprawa 1, i. e., grouping the suitable terms in order to apply Lemmas due to Hayami 2, Livingston 3 and Pommerenke 4, we observe that, the bound estimated by the method adopted by Zaprawa is more refined than using upon applying the Toeplitz determinants.
Replacing Sub - Therapeutic Antibiotics in Feed with Consumer Acceptable Performance Enhancers
Authors: Connolly A
Published: August 2021

Since introduction in the late 1940s, the role of antibiotics in animal production has changed. Originally a means of combating illnesses and maintaining the health of flocks and herds, it was soon recognized that antibiotics could drastically increase productivity and financial return through enhanced and expedited weight gain. Since then criticism has been leveled at the use of antibiotics at sub - therapeutic levels to promote growth and feed conversion efficiency. Although the recent demonstration that plasmid genes encoding for resistance are present in the environ ment and feces of swine and in carcasses there has been little evidence other than point - of - sale surveys that livestock are contributing to emerging drug resistance among bacterial pathogens affecting humans. Irrespective of the lack of firm scientific evi dence that the use of antibiotics in intensive livestock production is directly contributing to drug resistance in hospital and community settings there is a wide perception among consumers that lax regulation over sub - therapeutic administration to food an imals is deleterious to public health. Accordingly use of antibiotics for performance enhancement was banned in the EU in 2006 and in the US effective January 2017. Administration of antibiotics for therapy or prophylaxis is now strictly regulated in the E U and the U.S and subject to veterinary prescription applying Prudent Use Principles. Multiple stakeholders must be considered as food production responds to new legislation and rules to limit antibiotic use by farmers, producers, consumers, the medical pr ofession and veterinarians. This paper identifies possible replacement modalities that are acceptable to consumers and the food industry without detrimental effects on animal health and performance. The five criteria producers should consider before adopti ng alternatives to antibiotics are reviewed. Alternatives include but are not limited to probiotics, prebiotics, short and medium chain fatty ac ids, enzyme feed supplements, essential oils and botanicals. The paper stresses that no single additive will rep lace the declining benefits of sub - therapeutic administration of antibiotics. It will be necessary in the future to create programs with a holistic approach to replacement of antibiotics in conformity with EU and U.S. restrictions. Accordingly greater atte ntion should be applied to management, control of immunosuppressive viruses and protozoal parasites, nutrition and the selection of suitable genetic strains to achieve sustainable and safe production of livestock.

Delirium is often associated with factors that worsen the condition and prognosis of a person's health. The Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire Indonesia version (KICK) is a questionnaire that quantifies the cognitive reserve (CR) into a single index. This study aims to obtain an instrument to assess CR, namely KICK, and test its validity and reliability and finding the role of CR in geriatric delirium cases. The study was conducted in the integrated geriatric outpatient and acute geriatric inpatient of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital on June 2019 to September 2019, by validity testing and case control study in geriatric delirium cases to 33 subjects with delirium and 33 controls. Content validity test was carried out through a panel test with the conclusion that KICK is relevant for use as an instrument to examine CR. The construct validity of the three variables showed significant correlation with total score with p-value <0,001). Reliability test showed Cronbach’s Alpha of 0,688. Significant differences in CR score of delirium versus control (p<0,01) with OR 9 (95% CI 2.86 to 28.22).KICK is valid and reliable to measure CR of Indonesian elderly and patients with low CR score have a higher chance of developing delirium.

Authors: Илакавичус Марина Римантасовна
Published: August 2021

Предлагаемый обзор проблем внедрения целевой модели наставничества и их решений основан на анализе пилотного этапа в Санкт-Петербурге. Раскрыта основная методологическая и методическая коллизия внедрения. Она состоит в интерпретации наставничества, сущностно относящегося к неформальному образованию как технологии, что определяет риск формализации процесса. Выявлены риски упрощенного понимания педагогическим сообществом идейной основы целевой модели, а также неосведомленности общественности региона о данном проекте. Описаны варианты преодоления проблем формирования баз, наставляемых и наставников, дефицита ресурсов, обеспечения экологичности взаимодействия в наставнической паре или группе. Предложена стратегия оперативного решения проблем в диалоговом пространстве обсуждения новационного и традиционного подходов к организации наставничества.

The review of the problems and their solutions offered in the article was created by the author based on the analysis of the pilot stage of the implementation of the target mentoring model in St. Petersburg.
The interpretation of mentoring of educational interaction, which is essentially informal as technology, raises a set of problems. They can be solved in the strategy of dialogue between supporters of innovations and traditions. This will help preserve the constructive systems of educational institutions and set a benchmark for their development.
The problem of a simplified understanding by the pedagogical community of the ideological basis of the target model, lack of awareness of this project by the public in the region can be solved if the project is preceded by a wide information and educational campaign. To overcome the problem of forming the bases of mentors and mentors, real educational work and a revision of the strategy of forming a partner network are necessary. The development of networks at the level of the administrative district will make it possible to overcome the acute shortage of resources accompanying the implementation. Ensuring the environmental friendliness of interaction in a mentoring couple or group requires the mentor of the mentoring program in the institution to master the basics of non-formal education, adult education.

Published: August 2021

Michel Psellos, Public Administrator and Manager of His Own Fortune. Michael Psellos had a brilliant career as a bureaucrat and advisor for numerous emperors. Thanks to the positions he occupied, he established a network. His activities increased considerably, but it seems that he was not satisfied with the administration of his personal fortune and that he did not leave a considerable inheritance. He lost a considerable sum because of a court case and because of a theft due to his negligence. His fortune consisted mainly of lifetime possessions and depended on imperial fortune which he did not retain until the end of his life. This weakness explains why he did not manage to establish an enduring fortune and why his successors were impoverished.

Background: Breastfeeding is fundamental to the health and development of children and important for the health of their mothers. Correct information, timely initiation and duration of Breastfeeding, family support and weaning practices are important aspects. Health care professionals play a critical role in influencing decisions about feeding practices among mothers and families. Methodology: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in rural area of Haryana over a period of 12 months commencing from March 2019. Multistage sampling technique was used to enroll 200 infants aged 6-11 completed months and their mothers who were willing to participate in the study. Appropriate statistical tests were used in form of percentages, chi square and logistic regression. Result: Mothers receiving 3, 4 and > 4 antenatal check-ups were 1.6, 2.7 and 2.1 times more likely to get ANC counselling in comparison to women with single antenatal check-up done. Women’s literacy played a significant role in receiving antenatal counselling (p=0.035). Infant feeding practices like giving colostrum, starting feeding within 1 hour of delivery, burping after feed, exclusive breastfeeding for 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months etc were followed more among educated mothers and those given antenatal breastfeeding counselling but the association was statistically non-significant. Conclusion: This study concludes that antenatal breastfeeding counseling is very useful for exclusive Breastfeeding and for improving infant breastfeeding practices.

Organizational activities are influenced by buildings that function as corporate facilities in the Kota Tua area along the Kali Besar corridor, both in the East and West. Apart from the potential for the surrounding buildings in the big river, the open corridor space has not been optimally utilized. Particular problems in the research location, both physical and non-physical, require revitalization. The purpose of this study is to determine the public perceptions of the functions of the activity spaces on the pedestrian path towards the Kali Besar corridor landscape. This investigation employs a qualitative and descriptive model, where the relevant data are obtained using questionnaires. The forms are distributed to various site users with distinct activities, official responsibilities, recreational and commercial interests. Subsequently, the resulting data are carefully analyzed and grouped, before representing the outcomes in tables and graphs. The results show that the user's perception of the Kali Besar corridor landscape is relatively valuable, as evidenced by the responses to the revitalization efforts from 96% of the total respondents. Furthermore, the majority of the visitors were known to support the site restructuring by considering users’ interests.
INTERIOR AS EXTERIOR AND LANDSCAPE CONNECTOR

Published: August 2021

Interior is a space that is related to the outer and surrounding spaces. This space is also very close to the needs and complexities of human life. Now, the meaning and practice of interior design is not limited to fill or decoration within the physical boundaries that have been formed by architecture. This writing aims to change the general perception and view of interior science, namely as a science that bridges the inner space (interior) with the outer space (architecture and landscape) which also connects humans and their environment. This paper is the result of qualitative research using literature methods and case studies. The results of the discussion refer to several examples of interior and exterior processing (architecture and landscapes) that can be used in design practice with interior concepts as a liaison, namely by physically and conceptually manipulating space, the scope of interior design becomes a science that has a very important role to fulfill human needs. physically and psychologically.
“I Do not Believe in Anarchy.” To the Question of the Ideological Foundations of Egor Letov’s Works
Authors: Martynov M. Yu.
Published: August 2021

The name of Egor Letov (1964–2008), one of the most famous Russian punks today, has a stable association with anarchism in the mass consciousness, with a protest against any form of power. Some of Letov’s texts and phrases (for example, “Kill the state in yourself!”) have acquired the character of precedent – they are identified and function as anarchist texts without necessarily referring to the original source. At the same time, there are elements in Letov’s works that are difficult to reconcile with an anarchist worldview, and in general, Letov’s anarchism is not obvious. For example, the theme of death, which is one of the key themes in Letov’s works, is hardly associated with anarchism, which takes the side of life. The main purpose of the article is to clarify Letov’s attitude to anarchism, to show the role and place of the anarchist worldview in his works. The author concludes that Letov’s works is either not anarchist enough (a turn towards nationalist views) or, on the contrary, too anarchist (a form of total protest). This situation is conditioned by structural peculiarities of anarchist theory. Classical anarchism has a Manichaean structure (S. Newman), as subject and power in it are clearly separated. Letov’s creativity is not anarchist in this Manichaean sense, which requires unambiguity and clarity of its elements. Despite the evasion of Manichaean binaryism, Letov’s texts are able to keep the link with anarchism. Letov’s anarchism has broader grounds and expresses a total protest against reality, which condenses freedom into a conventional communication framework, makes it predictable, and protects it from waste.

Marina Tsvetaeva and Anatoly Steiger: A Novel in Letters (Reconstruction Attempt)
Authors: Proskurina E. N. , Proskurina-Yanovich P. V.
Published: August 2021

The article proposes a reconstruction of M. Tsvetaeva’s epistolary novel with the young emigrant A. Steiger. The dynamics of their relationship is traced, where there is a tie, movement to the culmination and completion: a break. The characteristic features of Tsvetaeva’s letters are shown: nervous style, expression. The differences of this novel in letters from the epistolary “triangle” of Tsvetaevа – Rilke – Pasternak are revealed. If the dialogue between them is the relationship of equal poets, then in relation to Steiger Tsvetaeva appears as a protective mother. A specific set of Tsvetaevа’s motives is revealed, where the main thing is love for the inaccessible, unrealizable. In general, the correspondence with Shteiger reinforces a virtual plot common for Tsvetaeva’s letters. In it, the main role is assigned to her lyrical perception of another – his “re-creation” for himself, ascension to the romantic ideal and rejection of the original person, leading to disappointment and rupture.

Semiopoesis: Formation of Meaning in Molecular Genetics and Biosemiotics
Authors: Zolyan S. T.
Published: August 2021

The article develops the idea of Yu. S. Stepanov (1971) that meaning is not an exclusive property of sign systems used by man, and it is present in biosystems. We consider it as one of the specific forms of manifestation of autopoiesis, namely, establishing interconnections between two systems, one of which is used for the other, either a plane of expression or a plane of content. This specification concerning the genetic code has already been named as codopoiesis (M. Barbieri, 2012). We introduce the new term, “semiopoiesis”, since it relies upon sign systems in general. From this point of view, the genetic code’s evolution can be viewed as a process of semiopoiesis – semiosis in its emerging. The increasing complexity of the organization leads to the autonomy of information and semiotic principles. Semiopoiesis, a complex of recursive self-referential operations of a semiotic system, becomes a form of the bio-world's dynamic organization when categories of meaning and purpose appear and become defining in it.
Poetics of shamanic text dedicated to the deity Altai-Kudai, in the recording of A.V. Anokhin
Authors: Oinotkinova N. R.
Published: August 2021

The paper is devoted to identifying the compositional and semantic features of the shamanic text recorded by A. V. Anokhin in 1910 from the Tuba shaman Balandi. The analysis showed the text to consistently reflect all the ritual actions characteristic of the shaman rite. The main actions are invoking deities and host spirits, sacrifices to deities and master spirits of the Middle World, and sprinkling of the Ot-Ene, home spirit of fire. The ceremony had a family and household character, with the main purpose being to ask for grace for one family. The cult of mountains, worship of the deities and spirits of the Middle World reflected in the rite (Altai-Kudai ‘Altai-God’, Jayik ‘Dyayik (Idol Creator)’, Ot-Ene ‘Fire-Mother’) indicate the involvement of the performer of this ritual text in the South Altai tradition of shamanism. The appeal to the deity Altai-Kudai testifies to the fact that already at the beginning of the twen- tieth century, the Altaians formed a monotheistic image of a single deity. The key mythologeme in the text is the shaman’s journey to the top of the ridge inhabited by the deity Altai-Kudai who gives grace, happiness, and prosperity to the souls of cattle and children. The analyzed shamanic text is distinguished by a high solemn style. The poetic form of the shamanic text provides maximum expressiveness and ultimate emotional and semantic richness. Its syllabic structure varies from seven to twelve syllables. The ritual structure consists of three-day actions with sacrifice to the spirits-masters of the sacred mountains.

Congenital anterior radial head dislocation with valgus deformity: A case report
Authors: Gupta Neeti , Gala Foram , Bharati Alpa
Published: August 2021

Congenital radial head dislocation is a rare anomaly of the pediatric musculoskeletal system. The most common type is posterior, with anterior and lateral dislocations being less common. Unilateral cases are even more uncommon and were earlier thought to be non-existent. Our case report describes a young girl with unilateral congenital anterior radial head dislocation with progressive development of cubitus valgus deformity, which is a very rare occurrence. On reviewing literature, only few such cases have been described. Our patient also had a history of developmental dysplasia of hip and a congenital intra-hepatic porto-systemic shunt, which in addition to the morphological appearances of the radial head and capitellum, suggested a congenital etiology.

Published: August 2021

Objectives:

Vascular stiffness due to ageing assessed by alteration in mean arterial blood pressure, brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (b-f PWV/c-f PWV) and brachial and ankle arterial stiffness index (ASI). The present study aimed to determine the influence of ageing on vascular health and its relation to oxygen sensing protein that is, erythropoietin (EPO), in both genders (men and women).

Materials and Methods:

Randomly selected 204 healthy participants involving men and women between 20 and 95 years among the general population of city. The total sample size was split into six groups from Group I to VI, each containing 17 men participants and 17 women participants. We determined PWV [brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral (PWV)] and ASI (brachial ASI and ankle ASI) by using periscope and estimated serum erythropoietin (Epo) by ELISA method and implemented a one-way ANOVA post hoc test for statistical analysis by using SPSS software version 23.

Results:

Decreased serum EPO with increased vascular parameters such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), PWV and ASI observed in Group 5 and 6 of both genders.

Conclusion:

We conclude that ageing influences PWV, ASI, MAP and EPO in men and women participants.

Case Description:

We managed a middle-aged woman who presented with recurrent seizures and brain MRI revealed left frontal cystic parasagittal tumor with mural nodule. She had left frontal awake craniotomy and gross total tumor excision. Histology confirmed meningothelial meningioma.

Conclusion:

Cystic meningioma is rare but should be high in differentials of cystic intracranial tumor with dural based nodules. Awake craniotomy is possible for the excision of parasagittal tumor most especially when it is frontal in location.

A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic, nonhealing wound that occurs in approximately 15% to 25% of patients with diabetes, and amputation is necessary in approximately 5% to 24% of these patients. Medicinal plants have demonstrated promising wound healing activities in animal models of DFUs as well as in clinical studies. These plants, which are described as medicinal in different regions of the world, are not considered to be standard medicinal treatments in Western medicine at this time. Some medicinal products, such as bromelain—an herbal protease currently used for enzymatic debridement of wounds—have been obtained from plants, showing the important role of these natural products as sources of wound healing agents. This paper aims to review clinical studies on the effects of medicinal plants in patients with DFUs based on the improvement of local and systemic parameters related to wound healing. Electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies from inception through May 2019 using the keywords “diabetic foot ulcer” and “plant,” “phytochemical,” “extract,” or “herb.” Inclusion criteria were controlled or before-after clinical studies with English-language full-text in which topical or systemic herbal preparations for DFUs were evaluated by considering outcomes such as reduction of wound healing time and wound area, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and number of cases requiring amputation. Studies on non-herbal materials and human studies other than clinical trials were excluded. Fourteen studies were included in the present review. Herbal medicines were administered as add-on therapy to standard wound care in the form of topical (cream, gel, oil) or systemic (capsule, decoction, injection) preparations. Parameters such as ulcer width and depth, phagocytic function, tumor necrosis factor α level, epithelialization, vascularization, and wound closure were evaluated in clinical trials, several of which were significantly improved in patients compared with their baseline values or control group. Per the studies included in this review, medicinal plants can be recommended as promising adjuvant therapies to conventional wound care to accelerate wound healing in patients with DFUs.

THE INTEGRATION OF EXPERIENTIAL TECHNIQUES IN ADULT EDUCATION AND THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR ADOPTION
Authors: Angeliki Gogola , Loukas Moustakas
Published: August 2021

The present research is a quantitative approach to the experiential learning provided in adult education. It focuses on the investigation of the experiential teaching techniques adopted and applied by adult educators at Vocational Training Institutes (VTI), based on their individual and work characteristics. The sample consisted of 317 instructors of public and private VTI, which was a product of inventory sampling, and was conducted at national level. A standard questionnaire, that was prepared for the needs of this research was used as a research tool. The results of the research are presented through descriptive, but also inductive statistical methods and confirm that adult educators use a variety of experiential teaching techniques in their work, with some of them being more preferred than others that seem to be less popular. In addition, the individual-work characteristics of educators affect, in some cases, the degree and intensity with which they utilize some experiential techniques, during the teaching process.
FACTORS THAT MOTIVATE OR OBSTACLE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION: OPINIONS OF GENERAL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS
Authors: Loukas Moustakas , Mania Phaedra
Published: August 2021

The present study attempts to investigate the views of general and special education teachers regarding those factors that motivate and hinder the implementation of Environmental Education (E.E.) in the context of Special Education (S.E.). It is a quantitative research for the needs of which a questionnaire was created based on the theoretical framework of the study in order to be given to teachers on the island of Rhodes. From the analysis of the results it was found that the main factors that can motivate the implementation of the E.E. in the context of S.E. is the willingness of teachers to implement innovative programs (such as E.E.), the benefits arising from the implementation of E.E. to the students with special educational needs and/or disabilities, the personal interest of the teachers in E.E., their environmental education, the acquisition of knowledge about environmental issues and the adequate training of the teachers in subjects of P. Ε. and E.A. On the other hand, the most important factors that can hinder its implementation are the lack of time/inflexibility of the program, the bureaucratic process for the approval of the program, the lack of material and technical equipment, the lack of training of teachers in the subject of E.E. and the workload of teachers.
The geometry vs. the algebra of meaning
Authors: Žanić Joško
Published: August 2021

In this
paper Gärdenfors’s geometric approach to meaning in natural language is
compared to Jackendoff's algebraic one, and this is done against the backdrop
of formal semantics. Ultimately, the paper tries to show that Jackendoff's
framework is to be preferred to all others. The paper proceeds as follows. In
Section 2, the common theoretical commitments of Gärdenfors and Jackendoff
are outlined, and it is attempted to argue briefly that they are on the right
track. In Section 3, the basics of the two frameworks to be compared are laid
out, and it is assessed how they deal with some central issues in semantic
theory, namely reference and truth, lexical decomposition, and compositionality.
In Section 4, we get into the nitty-gritty of how Gärdenfors and Jackendoff
actually proceed in semantic analysis, using an example of a noun and a verb
(embedded in a sentence). In Section 5, the merits of Gärdenfors's empiricism
when it comes to word learning and concept acquisition are assessed and
compared to the moderate nativism of Jackendoff, and it is argued that
Jackendoff's nativism is to be preferred. In the sixth section, the semantic
internalism common to both frameworks is commented on.

Background

Progress in reducing malaria incidence and deaths has stalled, in part due to limited access to quality malaria testing and treatment amongst rural populations. This time-series analysis aims to describe changes in rural malaria diagnosis and treatment before and during the rollout of Liberia’s National Community Health Assistant (CHA) program. It also explores how malaria service delivery changed during the COVID-19 epidemic.

Methods

Malaria diagnosis and treatment data from 315 rural health facility catchments supported by Liberia’s National CHA Program were collected from Liberia’s Health Management Information System and analyzed. Trends in malaria service delivery coverage and quality were assessed between January 2011 and December 2020.

Results

By 2020, four years after the program’s introduction, Liberia’s Community Health Assistants diagnosed 50% of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) or microscopy-confirmed malaria cases and carried out 51% of malaria treatments amongst children under age five in rural areas where CHAs were present. Furthermore, the percentage of malaria diagnoses that were confirmed by microscopy or RDT increased from 71% prior to the program to 95% in 2020. These results were effectively sustained in rural and remote communities during COVID-19 in 2020.

Conclusions

The introduction of Liberia’s CHA program was associated with improvements in the quality of malaria diagnoses and contributed to treating a significant share of the malaria burden amongst children under age five in remote rural communities across Liberia, and these improvements were sustained during COVID-19. Investments made in rural community health systems can be leveraged by policy makers to strengthen malaria diagnosis, treatment and control, especially in the age of COVID-19.
