All-pass phase shifting achieved by acoustic unidirectional guided resonances
Authors: Li Heyi , Miao Wenjie , Du Qiujiao , Peng Pai , Liu Fengming
Published: November 2023

Phase manipulation of sound is an important function for many acoustic applications. Here, we apply temporal coupled mode theory to demonstrate that sound all-pass phase shifting, which means that acoustic waves propagate with unit amplitude but have strong phase changes, can be achieved by utilizing acoustic unidirectional guided resonances (AUGRs). An oblique layered acoustic structure with inversion-symmetry is proposed to realize AUGRs that radiate only to one side of the structure. Full-wave simulations are employed to validate the theoretical analysis. With the strong phase-only resonances, our proposed acoustic structure can find applications in acoustic filtering and sensing.
Spelling and Punctuation Practice in London, Wellcome Library, MS 3731 (ff. 3r-43r, f. 125v)
Authors: Soriano-Jiménez Carlos
Published: November 2023

A large and growing body of literature has investigated the standardization process of the English language in the Late Modern English period (Auer 939–948, Percy 55–79, Tieken-Boon van Ostade 37–51), with various factors contributing to it, such as the printing press, spelling reforms, normative grammars and dictionaries. In the process of standardization, which “involves the suppression of the optional variability” in a language(Milroy and Milroy 6, original emphasis), prescriptivism played a crucial role, and it has been argued that, by the early eighteenth century, English spelling had become standardized and stable (Scragg 80). However, Tieken-Boon van Ostade points out that in the eighteenth century two spelling systems coexisted, i.e., a public and a private one (11). The present study provides additional evidence to the existing knowledge of the topic through the analysis of the spelling and punctuation system of the text in London, Wellcome Library, MS 3731, aneighteenth-century collection of medical instructions and cookery recipes. By means of the study of contractions, superscript letters, capitalization and line breaks, this article unveils new insights into the variability and characteristics of the spelling and punctuation system in this period. The findings provide valuable evidence and enrich our understanding of the broader standardization process in English historical linguistics.

Published: November 2023

Coronary artery stent infections are infrequent, but associated with a high mortality rate. Coronary stents were
inaugurated in 1987 but, only 16 cases of infection have been reported so far.We report a new case in a 53-year-old man
presented to our hospital with complaints of fatigue and weight loss for one month. He presented with chest pain one month ago at a local hospital
and upon investigation with a coronary angiogram was diagnosed to have signicant double vessel disease. Angioplasty was done coupled with
eluting stent in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the patient was discharged after a few days on oral medication.Blood culture
detected Pseudomonas aeruginosa and was treated with antibiotics to which the fever subsided. Current troponin I was elevated and ECGs
showed dynamic ST changes in anterior chest leads indicating a possible anterior myocardial involvement. Echocardiogram showed regional
wall motion abnormalities with mid, apical septum and anterior segment hyperkinesia and an ejection fraction of 40%. No vegetations or
pericardial effusion were seen, other vessels had no signicant ndings. Angiogram was done through the right radial artery which showed a
patent stent with a large aneurysm spanning over the proximal and middle zone of the stented segment. This was inferred to be possibly mycotic in
origin due to the 10 days history of pseudomonas infection after angioplasty. Another small aneurysm was seen distal to the stent on the LAD.
Cardiothoracic surgery opinion was taken and the patient underwent a successful bypass surgery.The patient is on regular follow-up.

Considera o domínio de produção científica dos bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa em Ciência da Informação, no Brasil, como objeto de análise sobre a transversalidade na produção e Organização do Conhecimento. Adota como fonte a Base histórica dos bolsistas de produtividade da Ciência da Informação e da sua produção (1974-2020).  Caracteriza esse domínio por meio da metodologia de Chen (2017), constituindo um corpus de 63 artigos sobre o tema, que se distribui entre 1996 e 2020. Como resultados, reconhecem-se contribuições abrangentes sobre conceitos, teorias e metodologias utilizadas pelos bolsistas de produtividade. O período de 2011 a 2020 foi o mais produtivo (89% do total de artigos), observando-se um crescimento significativo a partir de 2017. A produção foi publicada em 26 periódicos, dos quais quatro concentram 46% dos artigos. Os clusters de coocorrência temática e de autores referenciados sugerem o sentido da transversalidade da perspectiva dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento, de classificação, da recuperação da informação, bem como de suas relações com a teoria do conceito e a diplomacia arquivística, como um núcleo de pesquisa ativo dos pesquisadores em foco. Observa-se que assuntos não exclusivos de uma disciplina ou área do conhecimento específica são acolhidos plenamente nesta produção, atravessando-as e passando a enriquecê-las.

Published: November 2023

A catalogação é uma atividade usual na Musicologia, podendo ser considerada um indício da interdisciplinaridade com a Ciência da Informação. Dessa forma, este trabalho visa a explorar a catalogação na Musicologia e seus pontos de contato com a Organização da Informação. O corpus de análise é constituído por 38 dissertações e teses defendidas na Música e Artes, levantadas na BDTD e no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES. O mapeamento bibliométrico permitiu identificar que: a evolução temporal mostrou um pico de trabalhos defendidos em 2012; a maioria dos trabalhos é de mestrado e foi defendida na área de Música, sendo a UFMG a instituição de ensino com mais trabalhos realizados; a maior parte dos mesmos foi feita no Sudeste, tendo Carlos Alberto Figueiredo Pinto o orientador com o maior número de orientações; apenas dois membros de bancas de defesa possuem formação na área de CI; e os assuntos “catálogo” e “catalogação” ganham destaque dentre as palavras-chave. A Análise de Conteúdo revelou que os catálogos objetivam organizar para preservar a memória, reunir, disseminar, funcionar como ferramenta de pesquisa, além de fazer apreciação crítica e homenagear compositores. Percebe-se que esta pesquisa, por si só, não pode comprovar a interdisciplinaridade entre Ciência da Informação e Musicologia, pois se trata de um estudo exploratório. Mesmo assim, foi observada uma proximidade entre as áreas, pela apropriação da informação enquanto objeto de pesquisa

Published: November 2023

O dossiê reuni contribuições nos atravessamentos contemporâneos da tríade Direitos Humanos, Inclusão e Educação Especial.  Nessa perspectiva, os direitos humanos das pessoas com deficiência devem ser concretizados de modo a conjugar os princípios da igualdade e da diferença. Em outras palavras, é preciso articular os direitos humanos clássicos (que tomam a pessoa humana em sentido genérico, universal) e os direitos humanos contemporâneos (que se atentam às especificidades dos seres humanos, considerando os múltiplos processos de desigualdade e exclusão social). Trata-se de uma defesa ao acesso das pessoas com deficiência aos bens materiais e imateriais produzidos pela humanidade e, simultaneamente, o provimento de ações demandadas por suas particularidades.
JUSTIÇA SOCIAL COMO IGUALDADE DE ACESSO
Authors: PICCOLO Gustavo Martins
Published: November 2023

The present text is a theoretical essay created through a literary review, which aims to link the production of a fair society as directly related to the constitution of equal interactions between the most diverse subjects in the most varied spaces. This demand has as organizational assumption the embodiment of a radical critique of structural capacitism, which, through a process of naturalization of asymmetrical relationships, depersonalizes and deprives the experience of disability as of lesser value, a fact that ends up narrowing the development possibilities of subjects who live this experience. Undeniably, part of this marginalization is due to the exclusion of people with disabilities from political/public arenas, and it is precisely on this content that this article will develop its theses and antitheses, taking as a central assumption the idea that social justice and access will be achieved altering both the physical form of the world and the way in which it is sensed and perceived.

Published: November 2023

The right to accessibility for people with disabilities, in its various dimensions (urban planning, architecture, furniture design, transport, information and communication, among others), is guaranteed by the Brazilian legal system. Because of the normative provisions, the non-realization of this right caused the phenomenon of judicialization. In this sense, this article aims to analyze decisions of the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso do Sul State (TJMS) related to the right to accessibility for students with disabilities in public school transportation services and public school´s buildings in its territory. To this end, a documentary research was carried out on the TJMS website, with a selection and analysis of 20 Court decisions related to the theme. The results were presented through three analytical axes, with the characterization of the decisions and the synthesis of the understandings of the TJMS on the right to accessibility in buildings and school transportation services, in the state and municipal education systems. It is hoped that the study will contribute to publicizing the current position of the state Court of Justice on the protection of these rights and to discuss the possible repercussions of these decisions in the elaboration and implementation of public policies for school accessibility to assist students with disabilities.

The specialized literature records the growth of judicialization processes in the field of education. Given this panorama, this article reports a research whose objective was to investigate the judicialization of Special Education in a municipality at the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, based on the applicability of students' rights for their regular inclusion in education. The research has an analytical and explanatory character and was carried out through bibliographical and documentary research. Judicial decisions handed down in the municipality from 2009 to 2020 were analyzed. It was found that, despite the existence of several judicial decisions within the time frame, only three cases of request for intervention by the Judiciary Power were recorded. It was observed that, based on legal arguments, what really mattered for the intervention or not of the Judiciary was the verification of access to specialized educational assistance for the child, regardless of whether it was in the public or private network. It was concluded that, in the investigated period, there was a low level of judicialization regarding the inclusion of the Special Education Target Public and that the institutional offer of some form of specialized educational assistance was recognized, by the courts, as a service provided.

Introduction: Heavy chain disease (HCD) is characterized by the production of a truncated heavy chain monoclonal immunoglobulin lacking the corresponding light chains. The aim is to highlight the difficulties associated with the biological diagnosis of this pathology. Observation: Serum protein electrophoresis showed hypogammaglobulinemia with restricted gammaglobulin heterogeneity and a peak migrating into the beta-2 globulin zone. Immunofixation revealed a monoclonal band in the gamma heavy chain, with no correspondence with the Kappa or Lambda light chains. Conclusion: The observation we have presented reveals that the diagnosis of gamma heavy chain disease is delicate and relies on several techniques.

Staff motіvatіon as an element of bank actіvіty management
Authors: Harasymlyuk Mariya V. , Levytska Olha M. , Sayets Illya A.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the topical issue of increasing the effectiveness of managing the motivation of bank employees. The issue of improving the work organization of bank specialists is especially relevant in view of the systemic challenges of the financial sector of Ukraine caused by the long-term negative impact of quarantine restrictions and the war. The practice of motivating personnel in the commercial bank “Idea Bank” JSC, which has been operating on the domestic market since 1991, is analyzed. The article shows that qualified employees are the main resource of the bank, and the priority of personnel management is to increase the qualification level of specialists. It also emphasizes that the achievement of the planned efficiency requires the personal interest of the specialists in the achievement of the set goals, therefore the motivational systems should be coordinated with the bank’s development strategy and the motivational expectations of the staff. Recommendations on motivation management and the implementation of adequate motivation systems are developed to ensure an increase in the efficiency of staff work. A motivation technology based on a comprehensive assessment of key performance indicators is proposed, which allows for rational distribution of labor costs depending on the contribution of each specialist. The largest contribution to the bank’s financial result belongs to the branches of corporate and retail service. To identify the contribution of each specialist to the financial result, the centers of responsibility for income and profit are recommended to be allocated, and an indicative analysis within each position using transparent mechanisms for differentiating the evaluated indicators should be carried out. Classification of specialists into the groups “best employee”, “key employee”, “needs improvement”, and “candidate for dismissal” will allow to determine the level of material remuneration of specialists according to objective criteria and will contribute to the development of personnel. The application of the proposed methodology in the system of motivation of specialists in the retail sector of the bank will contribute to the prompt adjustment of the practice of managing personnel development and optimization of business processes.
Transformations in the industrial sector of Ukraine’s economy: regional dimension

Published: November 2023

Industry forms the basis of the economy of all developed European countries and Ukraine in particular, as it makes the largest contribution to commodity exports and innovations, ensuring the reproduction of all other sectors and the social sphere due to the mass production of means of production and consumer goods. The purpose of the article is to identify transformations in the industrial sector of the economy of the regions of Ukraine based on a comprehensive assessment of the activity and effectiveness of its functioning in the current period and in dynamics. The results of the calculations prove that industrial production is mainly concentrated in industrial regions, which also demonstrate the highest current level of product innovation and the greatest return on investment in innovation. These regions are characterized by the highest level of production and labor activity in terms of the volume of industrial products sold and labor productivity. At the same time, during 2011-2021, the industrial potential of Ivano-Frankivska, Kyivska, and Lvivska oblasts significantly increased. Vinnytska, Volynska, Donetska, and Ternopilska oblasts demonstrate the highest dynamics of capital investments in industry during this period, while the leaders in foreign direct investments are Kirovohradska, Poltavska, and Chernihivska oblasts. Lvivska, Kyivska, Odeska, Rivnenska, and Khmelnytska oblasts have achieved a noticeable increase in the values of product innovation indicators. However, in general, innovative activity in the industrial sector of Ukraine’s economy is very low. The majority of innovations were produced in Donetska oblast. The full-scale Russian armed aggression has accelerated the transformation processes that have been taking place in the industrial sector of the national economy over the last 10 years, namely the formation of new industrial centers in Ukraine, still small in scale, but with higher (compared to traditionally industrial regions) values and higher positive dynamics of individual indicators of production, labor, and investment activity of industrial enterprises. Such “new industrial” centers are located in the western and central regions, where the largest number of enterprises from the east have relocated.

Under the conditions of the decentralization reform, the budget equalization system in Ukraine underwent significant changes, which took place in terms of the transition from vertical equalization of expenditures to horizontal equalization of revenues. Today, a mixed budget equalization system is being formed in Ukraine, with an emphasis on horizontal equalization of revenues and the use of separate tools for vertical equalization of expenditures. The main problems of budget equalization in Ukraine include the insufficient amount of own revenues of local budgets, the high level of dependence of local budgets on transfers from the state budget, the insufficient justification of the procedure for calculating the tax capacity indicator, the low level of financial autonomy of communities, the lack of a clear division of powers between state authorities and local governments, transfer of powers to the level of local government without adequate financial support, significant differentiation of regions by the level of socio-economic development. The problem of restoring the district level of local government is in a “frozen” state. The budget equalization system of Ukraine should be improved in terms of creating equal financial opportunities for access to public services. In the medium- and long-term perspective, it is advisable to strengthen the role of expenditure equalization tools, supplement the representative tax system with a number of taxes (property tax, single tax, excise duty), create an independent agency for periodic analysis of the state of the budget equalization system and develop proposals for its reform, restore the practice of using agreements on interregional development, agreements on regional development, and programs for overcoming the depressed state of the territory. The new equalization system should be based on state service standards. With the transition to medium-term planning of local budgets, it is necessary to ensure the stability and predictability of the volume of transfers to local authorities and the transparency of the order of their distribution.

Published: November 2023

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary liver tumor. It develops in 90% of the cases on a chronic liver disease at the stage of cirrhosis. HCC is associated with a poor prognosis due to a frequent late diagnosis at advanced stages. The indications for treatment are guided according to the BCLC staging system, which takes into account tumor burden (number of nodules, size, vascular invasion and extrahepatic metastasis), liver function and performance status. Curative treatments are percutaneous ablation, surgical resection and liver transplantation. The expected overall survival is more than 5 years with theses treatments. Palliative treatments are composed of intra-arterial treatments (chemo and radioembolization) and systemic therapies (atezolizumab/bevacizumab, tyrosine kinase inhibitors). The overall survival depends on the tumoral response to these treatments and are around 30 months for intra-arterial treatments and 16 to 20 months for systemic treatments. Complications related to cirrhosis (variceal bleeding), to HCC itself (tumoral bleeding) or to HCC treatments can require management in intensive care unit. The discussion of transfer to intensive care unit should be based on tumor stage, expected life expectancy, reversibility of the complication, liver transplantation indication and patient’s comorbidities.
