Authors: Roliak Angelina , Matiienko Olena , Manzhos Elvira , Shamanska Olena , Burlaka Nelya
Published: November 2021

In postmodern area, flexible and innovative management should become an integral part of the European education system as every knowledge-based society demands to educate high-quality specialists. The present research combines two dimensions: structural and administrative, including a dual fringe of both management and teacher education environments in the Nordic democratic space. The article offers a comparative analysis of the structural model, administrative principles, and new management initiatives in teacher professional training within the tertiary education system of neo-liberal Denmark. The Danish context is the most essential because this country has gained a unique experience in creating an effective system of self-governing teacher education institutions existing on a relevant background of centralized and decentralized management principles. The methodological contribution of this research is based on a case study approach that includes methods of qualitative analysis, critical induction, information reinterpretation, and generalization. Neo-liberal management initiatives of the Danish democratic state aimed at improving pedagogical education after postmodern period are considered to be a part of the response to the ongoing need for high-quality professional training of teachers based on a solid foundation of autonomy and effective innovative practices.

Control plays an important role in ensuring the efficient use of funds, both public and business sectors of the economy. The purpose of the article is to consider the role of the State Audit Service of Ukraine in the implementation of financial state control. The study is based on the analysis of reports of the State Audit office of Ukraine on the results of state financial audits of health care institutions, which last took place in 2019. The analysis of the reports of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine allowed to establish the effectiveness of the state financial audit at the national level during last three years. The article provides answers to the following questions: i) what tasks are performed by the State Audit office of Ukraine; ii) features of external and internal audit of public sector entities in Ukraine; iii) the effectiveness of internal audit at the national level on the basis of state financial audits; iv) problematic issues of internal audit development on the example of health care institutions; v) the main directions of development of the state internal audit in Ukraine.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of the study is to form an information model of material, technical and financial resources in construction, based on identifying and taking into account the existing initial conditions and developing proposals for their improvement at the level of accounting and management by improving the documentation process. The article examines the relationship between material, technical and financial resources in housing construction. It is proposed to consider the information resource as the main resource, because it has an impact on the formation of all other resources, and therefore, in fact, manages them. This gives rise to new types of resources that are somewhat changing the pace and direction of governance and the global economy as a whole. The potential possibility of the working population of Ukraine to purchase housing by making two hypotheses is calculated. The first hypothesis concerns the ability of the working population to save money from wages, if the working person can live according to the subsistence level. The second hypothesis calls into question the first. At the junction of these hypotheses, appropriate conclusions are formed regarding the improvement of sources of financing for housing construction. Due to the study of problematic aspects of housing construction, a model of material, technical and financial resources in the context of digitalization has been formed. The derivative conditions of such resources are singled out here, namely: assistance in the restoration of natural resources; search for alternative resources; saving time; optimization of material costs; the emergence of a new type of currency; speed of calculations. Based on their research, it is proposed to improve financial and management accounting for the formation of new synthetic and analytical accounts, internal and intermediate management documents and the methodology of financial accounting.

Published: November 2021

The digital transformation is now a reality in Moldova, as Moldova has begun to transfer social, legal, and civil service delivery online. Sped-up digitalization can be expected to create new business models and opportunities for digital jumping in traditional industries. The Coronavirus crisis has highlighted the need for support and investments in digital transformation and effective digital governance, especially to guarantee the continuity and delivery of core government functions. The digital transformation is changing not just business models but the methods of production and distribution and the industry's competitiveness. Further analysis has been made to generate specific steps/recommendations regarding the digitization of the Moldova industry. The interview with experts who work closely in digitalization or competitiveness was done, and the SWOT analysis was done. Based on the research made, the recommendations for Moldova were prepared and presented in this article.
Cities, Information, and the Epigraphic Habit: Re-evaluating the Links between the Numbers of Inscriptions and the Sizes of Sites - Dataset
Authors: Hanson J. W.
Published: November 2021

Among classical scholars there is a widespread assumption that there is no relationship between the sizes of communities and their epigraphic output. In this article, I offer a new model, which suggests two hypotheses for how inscriptions increase with population, depending on whether they can be regarded as a form of infrastructure or a measure of wealth or disposable income. I show that, despite the variation between sites, there is nonetheless a consistent relationship between the numbers of inscriptions and the estimated populations of sites. The numbers of inscriptions increase slower than the estimated populations of sites, however, suggesting that they acted as a form of information infrastructure. This has important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms for transmitting information in ancient contexts, suggesting several avenues for future research.

Published: November 2021

Tracking and quantifying the abundance and location of cells in the developing brain is essential in neuroscience research, enabling a greater understanding of mechanisms underlying nervous system morphogenesis. Widely used experimental methods to quantify cells labeled with fluorescent markers, such as immunohistochemistry (IHC),in situhybridization, and expression of transgenes via stable lines or transientin uteroelectroporations (IUEs), depend on accurate and consistent quantification of images. Current methods to quantify fluorescently-labeled cells rely on labor-intensive manual counting approaches, such as the Fiji pluginCell Counter, which requires custom macros to enable higher-throughput analyses. Here, we present RapID Cell Counter, a semi-automated cell-counting tool with an easy-to-implement graphical user interface (GUI), which facilitates quick and consistent quantifications of cell density within user-defined boundaries that can be divided into equally-partitioned segments. Compared with the standard manual counting approach, we show that RapID matched accuracy and consistency and only required ∼10% of user time relative to manual counting methods, when quantifying the distribution of fluorescently-labeled neurons in mouse IUE experiments. Using RapID, we recapitulated previously published work focusing on two genes,SRGAP2andCUL5, important for projection neuron (PN) migration in the neocortex and used it to quantify PN displacement in a mouse knock-out model ofRBX2. Moreover, RapID is capable of quantifying other cell types in the brain with complex cell morphologies, including astrocytes and dopaminergic neurons. We propose RapID as an efficient method for neuroscience researchers to process fluorescently-labeled brain images in a consistent, accurate, and mid-throughput manner.
Monism and the Religion of Science
Authors: Storm Jason Ānanda Josephson
Published: November 2021

Monism was not just a philosophical outlook, but also an early twentieth-century new religious movement. Founded by the internationally renowned evolutionary theorist Ernst Haeckel, it was supposed to be a “Religion of Science” that repudiated matter-mind dualism in favor of reverence for a divinized Mother Nature. This article traces the genesis of the German Monist League and how it was transplanted to the United States by the publisher, Paul Carus. Although readers of this journal are likely to know about new religions that embrace “pseudoscience,” the surprise is that Monism had followers with significant scientific renown including multiple Nobel Prize-winning scientists, famous philosophers of science, and even a celebrated sociologist. Scholars of secularism or science and religion will want to know about how Haeckel and his followers constructed a hybrid Scientific Faith or Secular Church that this article demonstrates went on to provide the foundation for professionalizing American philosophy.
Detecting development scenarios of dynamic events in electric power networks smart-grid Part1 “Method”
Authors: Sivokobylenko Vitaliy Fedorovich , Nikiforov Andrey Рetrovich , Zhuravlov Ivan Vadimovich
Published: November 2021

A method for constructing a semantic S-detector for the senior hierarchical level of pattern recognition in dynamic objects is proposed. The S-detection method is based on a uniform synthesis of all hierarchically subordinate detectors and information preparation schemes, based on the tasks of the upper hierarchical level of recognition of scenarios for the development of processes in an object. The method can be used to solve problems of relay protection, emergency control automation, to identify rare events in impulse, short-term input signals when implementing the concept of developing of electric power smart-grid. The synthesis of the S-detector of scenarios for the development of transient processes was the result of the development of a structural-information SI-method for processing information components. A mathematical SI-model is presented that allows you to control the mutual correspondence of the structure of the formation tree in the object and the device recognition tree. The task is to improve the stability of the device recognition algorithm. The Part 1 describes the theoretical provisions of the application of the recognition method. It is proposed to unify the trees for generating recognition scenarios in the industry, similar to the IEEE high-voltage network diagrams. The S-detector algorithm based on the formation of a semantic signal and on the selective search for the required amount of information for automatic decision-making is presented. The facts of the appearance of elementary information events in the input signals of the detector are controlled by Ξ,H-selectivity windows, which are sequentially opened depending on the previous development of events. The block diagram of the S-detector of the scenario is presented, which can be synchronous, multichannel, with a high signal processing speed, without losing rapidly changing information when slow and infraslow information is detected. Combines useful properties of instantaneous and inertial detection algorithms. The output of the S-detector is a series of responses with different weights. This allows elementary detectors to be combined into sequential chains at different hierarchical levels of recognition. Part 2 provides an example of the application of the scenario detection method to solve the problem of increasing the stability of the operation of a selective protection relay against single-phase earth faults based on medium-frequency signals in 6-35 kV networks with an arc suppression Petersen’scoil. The results of modellingthe operation of the S-detector algorithm on the signals of real emergency files recorded by high-frequency recorders of transient processes in the network are presented.

Authors: Berezsky Oleh M. , Liashchynskyi Petro B.
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes and compares the architectures of generativeadversarialnetworks. These networks are based on convolu-tional neural networks that are widely used for classification problems. Convolutional networks require a lot of training data to achieve the desired accuracy. Generativeadversarialnetworks are used for the synthesis of biomedical images in this work. Biomedi-cal images are widely used in medicine, especially in oncology. For diagnosis in oncology biomedical images are divided into three classes: cytological, histological, and immunohistochemical. Initial samples of biomedical images are very small. Getting trainingimages is a challenging and expensive process. A cytological training datasetwas used for the experiments. The article considers the most common architectures of generative adversarialnetworks suchas Deep Convolutional GAN (DCGAN), Wasserstein GAN (WGAN),Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP), Boundary-seeking GAN (BGAN), Boundary equilibrium GAN (BEGAN). A typical GAN network architecture consists of a generator and discriminator. The generator and discriminator are based on the CNN network architecture.The algorithm of deep learning for image synthesis with the help ofgenerativeadversarialnet-worksis analyzed in the work. During the experiments, the following problems were solved. To increase the initial number of train-ingdata to the datasetapplied a set of affine transformations: mapping, paralleltransfer, shift, scaling, etc. Each of the architectures was trainedfor a certain numberof iterations. The selected architectures were compared by the training timeand image quality based on FID(FreshetInception Distance)metric. The experiments were implemented in Python language.Pytorch was used as a machine learning framework. Based on the used softwarea prototype software module for the synthesis of cytological imageswas developed. Synthesis of cytological images was performed on the basis of DCGAN, WGAN, WGAN-GP, BGAN, BEGAN architectures. Goog-le's online environment called Collaboratory was used for the experimentsusing NvidiaTesla K80 graphics processor.
La movilización militar en Navarra durante el reinado de Carlos II (1665-1700): fueros, servicios y milicias
Authors: Rodríguez Hernandez Antonio José
Published: November 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la movilización militar en Navarra, atendiendo a la importancia de los sistemas de movilización forales, la participación de las milicias, los servicios de tropas concedidos por las Cortes y el reclutamiento de voluntarios para incorporarse a otros ejércitos. La investigación se fundamenta en fuentes inéditas que se conservan tanto en los archivos nacionales como en los regionales. Gracias a esas fuentes se han reconstruido todos los procesos de movilización militar del periodo para analizar sus dinámicas, problemas y métodos. El hilo conductor es el análisis pormenorizado de los diversos sistemas de movilización militar presentes en Navarra durante el siglo XVII –tanto los amparados por los fueros, como los que quedaban al margen–, ya fueran controlados por la Diputación del Reino o los virreyes. Con ello se pretende comprender el encaje de Navarra en el sistema defensivo de la monarquía, su aportación humana, y sus repercusiones sobre la población.

Authors: Wang JinRong , Sathiyaraj T. , O’Regan Donal
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we study the relative controllability of a fractional stochastic system with pure delay in finite  dimensional stochastic spaces. A set of sufficient conditions is obtained for relative exact controllability using fixed point theory, fractional calculus (including fractional delayed linear operators and Grammian matrices) and local assumptions on nonlinear terms. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our theory.

Authors: Kurdachenko L.A. , Pypka A.A. , Subbotin I.Ya.
Published: November 2021

The subalgebra A of a Leibniz algebra L is self-idealizing in L, if A = IL (A) . In this paper we study the structure of Leibniz algebras, whose subalgebras are either ideals or self-idealizing. More precisely, we obtain a description of such Leibniz algebras for the cases where the locally nilpotent radical is Abelian non-cyclic, non-Abelian noncyclic, and cyclic of dimension 2.
Течія неньютонівської рідини в екструзійному апараті для тривимірного друку

Published: November 2021

Математичні моделі екструдування показують, що під час течії високов’язких рідин в процесі тривимірного друкування виникає проблема нагріву робочого середовища. Вона полягає в тому, що під час подачі матеріалу включається механізм дисипації механічної енергії в теплову, що зумовлює перегрів рідини. У свою чергу це може призводити до невідповідності форм одержуваного виробу. Для стійкого формування необхідно, щоб матеріал, що подається, оплавлявся біля стінок апарата. Перегрів має бути мінімальним, щоб,виходячи з насадка, матеріал міг швидко застигнути, бажано без додаткових обдувних пристроїв. У цій статті розглядається задача про рух полімерної маси в каналі з підігрівом з метою визначення необхідних умов виконання такої операції, виходячи з певних геометричних форм екструдера. Як модельна рідина використовується непружне середовище із в’язкістю, що залежить від температури та градієнтів швидкостей. Це досить широко використовуваний у практичних розрахунках клас неньютонівських модельних рідин для визначення параметрів течії полімерів і передбачення певних властивостей одержуваних виробів. Нехтування пружними властивостями полімерів часто є виправданим у зв’язку з незначністю проявів цих властивостей або з чіткою локалізацією цих ефектів. Для розв’язання задачі, сформульованої в рамках теорії вузького каналу, використовується метод смуг, в межах яких температура приймається постійною, тобто незалежною від поперечної координати. Це дає можливість покласти в основу розв’язання відомі аналітичні вирази для швидкостей з подальшим уточненням їх, у зв’язку зі складною залежністю в’язкості від градієнтів швидкості. Уточнюючи на кожному кроці динамічні параметри течії з попереднього кроку, можна чисельно отримати досить стійкі гладкі розв’язки. Розрахунки були проведені для неньютонівської рідини, близької за своїми властивостями до полімеру АБС-3А. Розрахунки показали, що властивість псевдопластичності, яка притаманна цьому полімеру, відіграє важливу роль у процесі екструдування. Завдяки тому, що зі збільшенням поперечного градієнта поздовжньої швидкості в’язкість цього полімеру значно падає, величина дисипації механічної енергії теж падає, тобто зменшується теплова енергія, що виділяється під час дисипації. Це в свою чергу призводить до меншого нагрівання полімерного матеріалу, що рухається. Отже, виходячи з геометричних розмірів апарата, можна моделювати течію полімерної рідини та підбирати параметри формування і температури рідини на виході з апарата.

Authors: Morin Haley , Worsley Diana , Zhang Xuemei , Faerber Jennifer , Pettit Amy R. , Kenyon Chén C. , Doupnik Stephanie K.
Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVES

Depression and anxiety are common in children with asthma, and asthma hospitalization is an underused opportunity to identify mental health concerns. We assessed depression and anxiety symptoms during asthma hospitalization and 1 to 2 months post discharge.

METHODS

This prospective cohort study included children aged 7 to 17 years who were hospitalized for asthma exacerbation. Participants completed the self-report PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) depression and anxiety symptom scales (T score mean = 50, SD = 10) during hospitalization and 1 to 2 months after discharge. Higher scores indicate more symptoms and/or greater severity. We compared patients’ scores during hospitalization and at follow-up using paired t tests and examined individual patients’ depression and anxiety symptom trajectories using a Sankey diagram.

RESULTS

Among 96 participants who completed the study, 53% had elevated symptoms of depression, anxiety, or both either during hospitalization or after discharge. During hospitalization, 38% had elevated depression symptoms and 45% had elevated anxiety symptoms. At postdischarge follow-up, 18% had elevated depression symptoms and 20% had elevated anxiety symptoms. We observed all possible symptom trajectories: symptoms during hospitalization that persisted (especially if both depression and anxiety symptoms were present), symptoms that resolved, and symptoms that were present at follow-up only.

CONCLUSIONS

Just more than half of youth hospitalized for asthma exacerbation experienced depression and/or anxiety symptoms during hospitalization or at follow-up. Patients who had both depression and anxiety symptoms during hospitalization were the most likely to have persistent symptoms at follow-up. Screening at both time points may be useful to identify mental health symptoms.
An Interdisciplinary Hospital-Based Committee to Improve Pediatric Bereavement Care
Authors: Goldberg Jessica M. , Duplechain Anne C. , Fraser Camille E. , Boles Jessika C.
Published: November 2021

Although frequently overshadowed by adult mortality rates and bereavement care needs, the death of a child can significantly jeopardize the physical, psychosocial, and emotional health of surviving parents, caregivers, and family members. Unfortunately, researchers have only recently begun to explore the trajectory of pediatric bereavement care needs. As an ongoing public health concern, health care institutions and related organizations must partner with interdisciplinary care providers and bereaved families to design effective and sustainable bereavement supports in their communities. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to describe the development and accomplishments of an interdisciplinary bereavement committee at a children’s hospital within an academic medical center. By relying on available empirical evidence and close collaboration with bereaved parent members, this effort has generated sizeable practice improvements and new service offerings within the organization, local community, and the individual patients and families the institution serves.

OBJECTIVES

The health care system faces ongoing challenges due to low-value care. Building on the first pediatric hospital medicine contribution to the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation Choosing Wisely Campaign, a working group was convened to identify additional priorities for improving health care value for hospitalized children.

METHODS

A study team composed of nominees from national pediatric medical professional societies was convened, including pediatric hospitalists with expertise in clinical care, hospital leadership, and research. The study team surveyed national pediatric hospitalist LISTSERVs for suggestions, condensed similar responses, and performed a literature search of articles published in the previous 10 years. Using a modified Delphi process, the team completed a series of structured ratings of feasibility and validity and facilitated group discussion. The sum of final mean validity and feasibility scores was used to identify the 5 highest priority recommendations.

RESULTS

Two hundred seven respondents suggested 397 preliminary recommendations, yielding 74 unique recommendations that underwent evidence review and rating. The 5 highest-scoring recommendations had a focus on the following aspects of hospital care: (1) length of intravenous antibiotic therapy before transition to oral antibiotics, (2) length of stay for febrile infants evaluated for serious bacterial infection, (3) phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, (4) antibiotic therapy for community-acquired pneumonia, and (5) initiation of intravenous antibiotics in infants with maternal risk factors for sepsis.

CONCLUSIONS

We propose that pediatric hospitalists can use this list to prioritize quality improvement and scholarly work focused on improving the value and quality of patient care for hospitalized children.
Update on Juvenile Spondyloarthritis
Authors: Aeder Lita , Onel Karen B.
Published: November 2021

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a blanket term encompassing entities such as enthesitis-related arthritis, nonradiographic axial SpA, and ankylosing spondylitis. These diseases share many clinical features, including a predilection for inflammation of the entheses and the sacroiliac joints. The nomenclature is based on the evolution of the classification of the disease and the age of the patient. SpA has a prevalence of approximately 1% of the population of the United States, with 10% to 20% of patients experiencing the onset during childhood. Children with onset of arthritis before age 16 years are classified as having juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Children with enthesitis and/or sacroiliitis are further classified as belonging to the enthesitis-related arthritis subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The initial manifestations can be subtle and will usually include a peripheral pattern of arthritis and enthesitis. It may take several years for axial disease to develop in children. Except for an association with the human leukocyte antigen (HLA-B27) serotype, there are no laboratory markers for the disease, and the radiographic findings are often negative. A careful clinical evaluation for evidence of inflammation in the entheses and the joints and a search for comorbidities are required. Magnetic resonance imaging facilitates the early detection of sacroiliitis, an important feature that may be clinically silent. Because recent studies indicate that earlier introduction of therapy can help achieve better outcomes, rapid identification and treatment of children with SpA is essential.
Distribution of test statistics under parameter uncertainty for time series data: an application to testing skewness, kurtosis and normality
Authors: BERA Anil , DOĞAN Osman , TASPİNAR Suleyman
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we provide a general result under some high level assumptions that shows how to account for the parameter uncertainty problem in test statistics formulated with the quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimator. We use our general result to develop various test statistics for testing skewness, kurtosis and normality for time series data. We show that the asymptotic distributions of our test statistics coincide with the asymptotic distributions of some tests suggested in the literature. Thus, our general result provides a unified approach for test statistics formulated with the QML estimator for time series data.
The Chemical Composition of the Medieval Mirrors from Golden Horde Time Settlements
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology, RAS, Kovaleva Kseniya
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The paper discussed the results of the study concerning the chemical composition of 16 mirrors from the Golden Horde period originating from the settlements Selitrennoe, Vodyanskoe, Uvekskoe Khmelevskoe I, Shirokiy Buerak and stored in the State Historical Museum (Moscow) and Saratov Regional Museum of Local Lore (Saratov). Method. The visual inspection of the items was carried out using the traceology method, XRF and SEM/EDS were used as a method of determining the elemental composition. To compare the results, data on the chemical composition of mirrors originating from other medieval sites in Eastern Europe were used. Analysis and Results. All but one mirror, made with a stone casting mold, were cast using the impression method. Some of the mirrors show traces of post-casting processing. Several types of alloys have been identified. Most of the mirrors were made of tin-lead bronze (7 items) with an increased (more than 20 %) tin content, which correlates with the results obtained on samples from other settlements of the pre-Horde and Horde times. Other large groups are mirrors made from multicomponent (3 items) and tin bronze (4 items). One mirror each is made of tin brass and lead bronze with the addition of arsenic. Mirrors with arsenic in their composition are also known from other samples from a nomadic cemetery of the Golden Horde period and settlement monuments, which indicates a sufficiently active existence of a more archaic metal in the 14th century.
Discussion About the Book by Krausz Tamás “The Fate of Ideas During the USSR History and After...”

Published: November 2021

N.E. Vashkau in the essay “On the way to the dialogue of national historiographies” notes the importance of historical memory, interaction within the framework of the intercultural dialogue of historiographies. A.A. German, in solidarity with some of T. Kraus’ views on the historical memory of the Second World War, starts a polemic with him on a number of problems related to the theory, history and practice of the creation, development and fall of Soviet state socialism. T.B. Ivanova (section “Historical memory forecasting the future”) focuses on self-government as an instrument of social emancipation as a direction to develop the social structure, which T. Kraus pays special attention to in theory and political activity. The author pays attention to the wide information and evidence base offered by T. Kraus to prove the value of this idea every time for the next social reconstruction. E.F. Krinko in the section “Soviet history in a Marxist reading: Tamas Kraus on revolution, socialism, war and other issues” notes that the publication of the book provides us with a deep understanding about the Hungarian historian views basing on the denial of capitalism with its ideals of individualism and private property and commitment to the socialist idea. He emphasizes that T. Kraus rejects both the application of the theory of totalitarianism to Soviet history due to its limited research potential, and the apologetics of Soviet man and state socialism. S.G. Sidorov focused on the second section of T. Kraus’ book “War and Genocide. Historical facts and the politics of memory”, in which the author gives answers to important questions: who is responsible for the war; whether it is possible to compare the Nazi Germany with the USSR as well as GULAG and Auschwitz; who is guilty of civilians genocide and others. Sidorov has come to the conclusion that the application of “his methodological conviction – the third way” actually led the author to estimates that are close to many ones given by modern Russian historians, and allowed him to reasonably and fairly criticize the views on World War II, the Soviet period of Russian history prevailing today in Hungary and in the West.
Confessional Regional Studies: Directions and Approaches in Research
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics, Balabeykina Olga , Dmitriev Anton ,   Saint-Petersburg State University of Economics
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The article analyzes the subject-thematic content of modern scientific domestic and foreign works, the field of study of which is religion in countries and regions. The article deals with theoretical issues related to an integrated approach to regional studies in the development and functioning of the confessional space. Methods and materials. Statistical methods of data processing were applied, as well as the visualization of statistical data reflecting the functioning of the structural elements of the geo-confessional space. Analysis. Based on the specifics of the subject area, it is proposed to identify such thematic areas: historical-cultural, spatial (chorological), political-legal, socio-economic. A brief description of each of the designated areas is given. Within the framework of the spatial direction, the essence of two approaches is separately reflected: the institutionalterritorial and the religious-landscape. The necessity of using the scientific and factual basis of each of the selected areas for conducting a comprehensive study of the confessional space is indicated. Attention is paid to the use of scientific tools in comprehensive regional-confessional studies. Results. The importance of expanding the range of mathematical and statistical methods adopted in regional studies is indicated, since the results of calculating the coefficients of unevenness, advantages, etc. are the evidence base for identifying regional differences in the placement of religious infrastructure, etc. and can be applied in scientific works in all regional and confessional areas. For clarity, the provisions presented in the article are illustrated with examples related to elements of the confessional space of different regions and countries. The most promising for further development in the field of regional-confessional research, as the least studied, the authors call the political-legal and socio-economic directions, while maintaining the importance of historical and cultural as well as spatial in the meaning of independent research, and as a basis for a comprehensive one.
The Conflicts Among Religious Orders of Christianity in China During the 17th and 18th Centuries
Authors:   The University of Da Nang, University of Science and Education, Truong Anh
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The article studies the conflicts between the Spanish Mendicant Orders (Dominican Order, Franciscan Order, etc.) as well as the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris with Portuguese Society of Jesus, which took place during the 17th and 18th centuries in China. Methods and materials. To study this issue, the author used the original historical materials recorded by Western missionaries working in China during the 17th and 18th centuries and research works by Chinese and international scholars related to the Chinese Rites Controversy as well as the process of introduction and development of Christianity in this country during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author combines two main research methods of History Science (historical and logical methods) with other research methods (systemic approach, analysis, synthesis, comparison, etc.) to complete the study of this issue. Analysis. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the struggle for faith of the peoples in the Far East, especially China, became the desirable goal of religious orders of Christianity. Therefore, during this period, Western missionaries belonging to various religious orders of Christianity, such as the Society of Jesus, Mendicant Orders, Society of Foreign Missions of Paris, etc., gradually entered this country. In the course of evangelization, the struggle for influence as well as the right to manage missionary affairs in China at that time created conflicts among Christian religious orders. It is manifested in the form of a debate about Chinese rituals. In fact, these conflicts not only caused great losses to the missionary career of contemporary Christian religious orders taking place in China but also made the relationship between China’s ruling authorities and The Holy See became very tense. Results. Based on the study of the conflicts among religious orders of Christianity in China during the 17th and 18th centuries, the article clarifies characteristics, the root and direct causes leading to this phenomenon, making a certain contribution to the study of the relationship among religious orders in the process of introduction and development of Christianity in China in particular and the history of East-West cultural exchange in this country in general in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Os Serviços de Apoio para Estudantes com Deficiência nas universidades desempenham um papel importante no fornecimento de apoio direto e indireto para esses estudantes. Este artigo apresenta as perspectivas dos Coordenadores dos Serviços de Apoio no que diz respeito à prestação de serviços a estudantes com esta condição, descrevendo as suas características, dificuldades e desafios. Os dados foram coletados em 62 instituições universitárias públicas do Brasil e de Portugal por meio de questionário desenvolvido para esse fim. Apesar das demandas enfrentadas pelos Serviços de Apoio para Estudantes com Deficiência, os sinais de bom progresso no apoio a estes estudantes estão aumentando. Embora os serviços desempenhem um papel importante, uma autonomia mínima e dificuldades significativas permanecem em vários domínios de gestão e intervenção. São discutidas as mudanças e adaptações necessárias no apoio a estes estudantes nas universidades, considerando as consequências significativas da inclusão e do sucesso para os estudantes com deficiência. Políticas inclusivas baseadas na equidade e igualdade de oportunidades e mais recursos são necessários para garantir os direitos de todos os estudantes no Ensino Superior.

Abstract The American Barn Owl (Tyto furcata) lives in urban, periurban and wild environments and feeds mainly on small rodents, meaning it has great importance in the biological control of pests. The aim of this work was to describe the reproductive, parental and eating habits of a pair of American barn owls naturally living outside a residence in the urban area of the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. A wood box was installed on an outside wall of the home, monitored by a video camera. A spreadsheet was created to keep track of the observations recorded. The female laid four eggs, and after an incubation period of 30-32 days all the eggs hatched, but only two chicks survived after cannibalism among the chicks. Initially, the male provided the food to the chicks and the female remained in the nest caring for the brood. After approximately a month, the female also began to leave the nest and return with prey, which was offered to the chicks, with the male also continuing this behavior. The chicks left the nest in September, 2017. The data obtained show the existence of cooperation and division of tasks between male and female owls during the reproductive period.

Resumo Contexto O ultrassom contrastado por microbolhas (CMUS) é uma modalidade diagnóstica de acurácia bem demonstrada por estudos internacionais para seguimento de reparo endovascular do aneurisma de aorta abdominal (EVAR). Não existem, no entanto, estudos nacionais focados nesse método de seguimento. Objetivos O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a experiência inicial com CMUS em um hospital terciário, traçando uma comparação dos achados do CMUS com o ultrassom Doppler convencional (USGD), com o intuito de verificar se a adição de contraste ao protocolo padrão de controle ultrassonográfico incorreu alteração nos achados. Métodos Entre 2015 e 2017, 21 pacientes em seguimento de EVAR foram submetidos ao USGD seguido de CMUS. Foram avaliados os achados de exame referentes à identificação de complicações, bem como à capacidade de identificação da origem da endofuga. Resultados Entre os 21 casos avaliados, 10 complicações foram evidenciadas no total: sete pacientes apresentaram endofuga (33,3%); dois pacientes apresentaram estenose em ramo de endoprótese (9,52%); e um paciente apresentou dissecção em artéria ilíaca externa (4,76%). Em 21 pacientes avaliados, o uso combinado dos métodos identificou 10 casos de complicações pós-EVAR. Em seis dos sete casos de endofugas (85,71%), o uso dos métodos combinados foi capaz de identificar a origem. O USGD isolado falhou na identificação da endofuga em dois casos (28,5%), identificando achados duvidosos em outros dois casos (28,5%), que obtiveram definição diagnóstica após associação do CMUS. Conclusões O CMUS é uma técnica de fácil execução, a qual adiciona subsídios ao seguimento de EVAR infrarrenal.

ABSTRACT: A reticular diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital or acquired alteration resulting from protrusion of the reticulum into the thoracic cavity. In ruminants, lesions to the diaphragmatic muscle, due to penetration of sharp metallic objects, is the most common cause of this disease. Therefore, given the low number of reports on this disease in the bovine species, the current study aims to describe the clinical, laboratory, and anatomopathological findings, with special emphasis on the ultrasound diagnosis of five cattle with reticular diaphragmatic hernia. The laboratory data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, and clinical, ultrasound, and pathological findings were evaluated using descriptive statistics. Clinically the animals exhibited varying degrees of dehydration, abdominal distension, tympany, and alterations in ruminal motility, in addition to cardiorespiratory alterations such as murmur, dyspnea, and muffling of lung sounds. The laboratory examination showed neutrophilic leukocytosis and hyperfibrinogenemia. The ultrasonographic images demonstrated reticulum inside the thoracic cavity adjacent to the lung and heart, although no reticular motility was observed. The pathological lesions confirmed the findings of the ultrasound exams. Thus, the current study demonstrated that ultrasonography was efficient in diagnosing reticular diaphragmatic hernia in the bovine species.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the occurrence of the factors associated with: (1) suspected infection by the virus that causes COVID-19; (2) absenteeism at work due to suspected infection or diagnosis of infection by the virus that causes COVID-19; and (3) performance of tests for the screening of infection by the virus that causes COVID-19 among Nursing professionals. Method: a cross-sectional study conducted with 890 nurses in June and July 2020. The associations between the outcomes and the other variables were explored using Poisson regression models with robust variance estimators. Results: occurrence of the outcomes was (1) 35.5%, (2) 16.2% and (3) 38.2%, respectively. For suspected infection, associations were observed with assessment of the working conditions as deficient (RR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.21-1.99) and with lack of Personal Protective Equipment (RR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.06-1.51). Absenteeism at work was associated with the adoption of moderate social distancing (RR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.00-2.21). To perform the screening tests, the associations with links to outpatient (RR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.52-4.01) and hospital (RR: 2.49; 95% CI: 1.60-3.89) services stood out, in addition to direct contact with patients with confirmed COVID-19 diagnoses (RR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.33-2.05). Conclusion: despite the high occurrence of suspected infection and a considerable incidence of absenteeism at work among professionals from the various services under study, disparity in access to the screening tests was evidenced, especially with regard to the professionals who work in Primary Care.

ABSTRACT The present case report describes a modified technique of coronectomy for mandibular third molar with association of Platelet-Rich Fibrin Graft (PRF). The panoramic radiograph showed proximity of the roots of the vertical positioned 48 tooth with the superior wall of the mandibular canal, since the erasure of the superior cortical of the mandibular canal was observed. Due to the risk of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve, the technique of coronectomy was chosen. After the realized the coronectomy, in order to promote the regeneration of soft and hard tissues and also to prevent pulp changes that could lead to pain, pulp necrosis and infection, the PRF graft was used to fill the surgical defect formed by removal of the crown. Good healing evolution was observed and after 12 months of clinical and radiographic follow-up there was complete bone formation in the area where the crown was removed and no complications were observed.
