Polish music press in the face of systemic change in 1989 as an example of cultural transformation in post-communist countries
Authors: Tyszka Konrad , Jagosz Michał
Published: January 2021

The systemic transformation has significantly increased and diversified the music press market. Liquidation of the monopoly, privatization, censorship abolition and media pluralism are just some of the factors that contributed to shaping new cultural policy in Poland. The research material used for this paper’s analytical purposes consists of Polish music magazines; based on a query covering over 110 journals being published since 1946 to the present, a historical and comparative analysis was made. It allowed to determine what new solutions the publishers started to put into practice to make their magazines more attractive. Moreover, it showed a clear fragmentation of the market. After ’89, popular music magazines began to prevail; there are also many specialist journals devoted to a specific topic. A look at cultural transformation from the perspective of the music press is therefore an innovative idea, combining knowledge from the borderline of musicology, cultural studies, and press studies.
Cognitive approach to the theory of abbreviation
Authors: Bychkova Tatyana
Published: January 2021

The formation of abbreviations is explained mainly by the action of two factors: extralinguistic and intralinguistic. Extralinguistic factors include social transformations, scientific and technological progress, and interethnic changes. Being qualitative in nature, they are characterized by dialectical dynamics. Intralinguistic factors should be understood as the effect of internal laws that determine the evolution of language. In language there is a dialectical struggle of opposites, which determines its self-development. These opposites can be called language antinomies, each identity is the key to the stability of the system, the specific resolution of any of these opposites generates new collisions, new contradictions in the language (in principle-of the same order) and, consequently, their final resolution is impossible: they are a constant stimulus for the internal development of the language. The stimulus to abbreviate lies with the speaker, who has full knowledge of information, in the process of communication and unilaterally seeks to reduce multi-component and cumbersome terms represented by long words, complex words and phrases. Language signs are replaced with codes by communicants, and familiar words are shortened.
Particularities of defense in judicial rhetoric
Authors: Korobova Ekaterina
Published: January 2021

The article examines the linguistic particularities of defense in judicial rhetoric that have not considerably changed since Antiquity. As at present the interest in judicial rhetoric has increased, it is necessary to carry out its comprehensive analysis with the consideration of its modern modifications. In the course of history, judicial rhetoric has preserved its main rules to be used in Modern Times by Western culture advocates for defense purposes. Special attention is paid to stylistic devices, phonetic means and linguistic features to discern that are most frequently used by the advocates in their defense speeches. As stylistic devices are the best means of persuasion of the jurors and public in court, they are indispensable in advocates’ defense speeches and are the focus of the given paper. As the advocates’ defense speeches concentrate mainly on persuasion and thus with emotions rather than reason the author focuses on the expressive language means.
Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome: Narration and psychosis
Authors: Dimkov Petar
Published: January 2021

Interpretation by means of retelling a story is an ordinary event in human life. However, under abnormal circumstances, e. g. delusions of the narrator, this process is altered and even distorted to various degrees in both qualitative and quantitative aspects. In such cases, the assumption of misrepresentation of the actual story emerges as most striking as it is in contradiction with the objective reality. In the current paper, I will focus on the discourse features in the narratives of patients with the Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome since it provides some of the best cases that serve to support the main focus of my search, i.e. establishing to what degree we can believe the subjective interpretative narratives of mentally ill patients. This perspective, on its own, has given rise to some doubts in psychiatry as objective science. Our hypothesis is that there are clear-cut features of delusion, which can be outlined by linguistic analysis irrespective of the cultural belonging of the patient and described following the method of the omnipotence of language as a tool of semiotics. For our purpose, additional aspects of the problem will be developed in detail, such as the semantic levels in narration in general and outlined concepts of schizophrenia and delusion transparent in discourse carried out in any language.
Nietzsche and the search of new values
Authors: Valchev Valeri
Published: January 2021

The aim of the present study is to analyze and present Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas about the role of values in philosophy and their reassessment. Over a period of time, Nietzsche's ideas regained popularity and brought back to the fore the topicality they had never lost. Speaking of F. Nietzsche and his ideas, we cannot fail to mention the concepts of revaluation, superman, Christianity and God. The other characteristic of F. Nietzsche is his aphoristic and metaphorical style, which is sometimes condemned and denied, sometimes supported and welcomed. Nietzsche's aspiration is to go beyond the masses, to search for the new and different in the projection of modern man - as a reappraisal of values and a search for new values. The other goal of the study is to show the similarities and differences of Nietzsche's thought with "dissenting" philosophers. There is a huge amount of literature on the subject, but for the present study, the works of F. Nietzsche will be used in the first place.

Generalized Linear Mixed Model Analysis of Acute Respiratory Infection Data on Children
Authors: Yulita Tiyas , Widayanti Tika
Published: January 2021

Statistical modeling often involves data which has a distribution of the exponential family. Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was developed to model these data by using a link function between the mean of the response variable and the linear form of the predictor variable. If the data of the response variable comes from several census blocks that are taken randomly, then the diversity between census blocks should not be ignored because it can increase bias. The Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) is a method that can capture a variety of random effects. However, it does not rule out if there are many predictor variables involved in the model and we use GLMMLasso as a combination method of GLMM and Lasso to shrink the parameter coefficients to zero, it is used to reduce the variance. In this study, a simulation was conducted to GLMMLasso use different numbers of predictor variables and different values of shrinkage coefficients to determine which shrinkage coefficient values have a minimum bias on parameter prediction. Acute Respiratory Infection (API) data on children in Jakarta is used to know the factors that could cause increased cases. The simulation result is the shrinkage coefficient which produces a minimum bias is 30, and the R2 value of data analysis on the model is 99.24%

Published: January 2021

The objective of the present study was to assess the water quality of canal (man-made lotic waterbody) and ponds (man-made lentic waterbodies) present in Narmada Canal Command Area (NCCA) spread over four districts of Saurashtra region of Gujarat State, viz. Bhavnagar, Botad, Morbi, Surendranagar districts. Values of important physico-chemical parameters of water quality were determined through in situ and ex situ methods. Average values of parameters like pH (8.51), temperature (27.91 °C), electrical conductivity (6.32 ms/cm), TDS (559.18 ppm) turbidity (147.95 NTU), salinity (3.17 ppt) and phosphates (3.41mg/l) were found to be higher for pond waters, whereas the average values of DO (6.09 mg/l), total hardness (308.00 mg/l) and nitrates (2.37 mg/l) were found to be higher for the canal waters in the NCCA in the four districts. The study revealed that water quality of canals in the four districts was suitable for flora and fauna. For some ponds (n = 6) in Bhavnagar, Surendranagar and Morbi districts, the majority of water quality parameters, viz. pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, TDS, turbidity, salinity and phosphates had high values which might be undesirable from the view point of existence of some aquatic organisms. But as the values of these parameters for canal waters were lower and suitable for aquatic organisms, it is very likely that in the long run, the values of these water quality parameters of such ponds will become suitable for aquatic biota under the influence of long-term mixing of pond waters with canal waters having lower values of these parameters.

Food Security and Renewable Energy : Insights
Authors: Asamoah Eric Owusu
Published: January 2021

The world’s increasing population together with the amount of calories needed to meet dietary requirements has intensified food security concerns. As a result, the world’s energy demand has correspondingly risen mainly due to the preference for sophisticated food production-(usually energy–demanding), as well as mechanization of the food supply chain. Renewable energy has been pivotal in meeting the above demands by means of energy for food processing, storage and transport.

The surge in food prices has gained widespread consideration. Many factors such as cost of farm inputs, climatic patterns and land tenure systems account for the food price increases observed in recent decades. There is also common knowledge that renewable energy particularly –bioenergy as being a cause of the above. The quest for a safer energy against conventional fossil fuels has made first generation biofuels the go-to option resulting in competition for resources that would have otherwise been used to produce food or consumed as food. Hence the food price increments.

Bioenergy production may have a variable effect on food prices. Whereas the cultivation of first generation bioenergy crops can increase prices, it could also be the catalyst to induce investment in agriculture to increase crop yields that would ultimately stabilize prices. In the situation where resources for staple crops are shifted to   bioenergy feedstock, staple food prices would soar due to shortages. This suggests many people are likely to remain in perpetual hunger unless crops yields are enough to meet the dimensions of food security –availability, access, utilization and stability.

Food security and bioenergy have positive synergies as stated earlier. For example, while higher prices may boost local economies, bioenergy could strengthen food availability, access, utilization and stability to ensure food security. Additionally, bioenergy could mitigate energy deficiencies especially in the countryside. Proper management would be essential to ensure bioenergy production does not occur at the detriment of local livelihoods –notably food production and its consumption.

Authors: Chaudhary Arun Kumar , Kumar Vijay
Published: January 2021

In the presented work, a continuous distribution consisting of three-parameters is proposed for life-time data called new exponentiated distribution. The discussion of some of the distribution’s statistical as well as mathematical properties, including the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF), Probability Density function (PDF), quantile function, survival function, hazard rate function, kurtosis measures and skewness, is conducted. The estimation of the presented distribution’s model parameters is performed using the techniques of Cramer-Von-Mises estimation (CVME), least-square estimation (LSE), and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The evaluation of the proposed distribution’s goodness of fit is performed through its fitting in comparison with some of the other existing life-time models with the help of a real data set.

Published: January 2021

Objective: to characterize household units for sheep production at three localities in the Santa Rita Tlahuapan municipality, Puebla.
Design/methodology/approach: semi-structured interviews conducted with 38 producers. Variables of the producer profile, crop production and herd management were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and variance analysis.
Results: four groups of producers were identified; most of them (92%) were classified as small producers, with 24 to 36sheep and low production of crop forage. The producer’s average age was 55 years, with an average family size of four.Economic savings is the main objective for this production and family labor is used exclusively in sheep farming activities.The animals are housed in rustic pens, with no difference in their age, sex or physiological stage. Their main food source is pastures forage and cultivation areas; mostly supplemented (92%) with mineral blocks and common salt.
Limitations/Implications: the lack of producer records and social mistrust to some degree to provide information.
Findings/conclusions: the assessed productive units are for subsistence, having sheep farming as a secondary activity, with low productive parameters. The poor housing practices, the scarcity of own grazing lands, and the animal’s nutritional stress are identified as the main factors that stagnate sheep farming in the study area.

Published: January 2021

The processes of globalization of international trade involve the unhindered movement of resources and goods, which is objectively impossible to carry out without maritime transport. Currently, maritime transport provides sustainable foreign economic transport and production relations between individual countries. Sea transportation occupies about 80% of the world’s cargo turnover, and this percentage increases every year. Sea transportation is the most efficient, reliable and economical way of international transportation of most goods. Corporate social responsibility is an integral part of sustainable development of maritime cargo transportation companies and includes care for the environment, labor rights and human rights, business ethics. In 2018, a strategy directed towards reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions from vessels by 2050 by at least 50% of the total volume compared to 2008 was adopted. The article proposes methods for calculating tracking indicators of the sea transport energy efficiency, basic elements of planning the energy efficiency management of the vessel are allocated. The sustainable development strategy of the Danish company Maersk, specializing in maritime freight transportation and port terminal maintenance, envisages four areas - climate change, inclusive trade, food loss and ship recycling. The Maersk’s partners are international organizations that contribute to the implementation of the UN sustainable development strategy. Since 2019 Maersk reports a 42% reduction in relative CO2 emissions compared to 2008. The company plans to jointly develop carbon dioxide fuel types and sustainable fuel solutions with energy suppliers, as well as with technology developers, researchers, investors and other transportation companies and logistics providers. Thus, Maersk is gradually demonstrating a global commitment to the ecologically sustainable logistics in line with its commitment to reducing carbon emissions across the supply chain. Maersk has taken the initiative to abandon the use of fossil fuels and has set a global goal of achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050 in the performance of all its operations.

Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, K. Y. K. Y.
Published: January 2021

The transformation processes that take place in each sphere of the socio-economic system lead to certain changes in the structure and condition of its individual components, which are characterized by the appropriate level of innovation, technology, creativity, etc. compared to the basic state of the system. A succession of such mutually determined changes leads to the cyclicality of transformational processes, the implementation of which at different levels of the economic system provides the an-order-higher results in terms of technical and technological, innovative, intellectual, etc. characterizations, which is the basis of neo-technological reproduction. In the context of neo-technological reproduction, the efficiency of the enterprises’ functioning is ensured by the effectiveness of their diversification-integration development, which ensures optimal implementation of the business processes of the enterprise through the rationalization of the necessary resources and opportunities for their development and implementation by their own and/or third-party forces of the attractive stakeholders. Since the efficiency of any process depends on the rational mechanism for its management (which will ensure optimal and effective implementation of it, aimed at maximizing the achievement of the set goals), then, accordingly, the article is aimed at forming a causal-demerminated management mechanism for diversifying-integrating development of enterprise in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction. The necessity of forming a causal-determinated mechanism for management of diversification-integration development of enterprise in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction is substantiated. The components of this mechanism are outlined, the aggregate interconnected implementation of which, within the framework of the selected specific management functions, ensures the efficiency of managerial decision-making, taking into account the conditions of neo-technological reproduction. A more detailed examination of peculiarities of the motivational mechanism as a general one within the structure of the integrated mechanism of management of diversification-integration development of enterprise in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction is carried out. It is proved that the use of the causal-determinated mechanism will ensure the formation of an optimally effective configuration of the main subsystems of the enterprise’s functioning and the processes of creating an additional effect, which will lead to the formation of the appropriate competitive advantages of the enterprise necessary for the sustainability of its activities in the conditions of neo-technological reproduction.

Published: January 2021

Recently, competition has been rapidly increasing in the IT sphere, so a competently constructed system of communications with stakeholders becomes a very important advantage for companies. Depending on the size of the company, the type of business and the scale of activity for each group, it is necessary to choose an individual approach to interaction. The article is concerned with a comprehensive study of the problems of processes of developing corporate communications with stakeholders of IT-industry enterprises. The main groups for external and internal types of stakeholders for the companies in the IT sphere, features of interaction and developing corporate communications with them are examined. To implement positive strategic changes in staff management, it is important to take into account both the interests and contradictions of stakeholders. In practical activity, the interests of almost all groups of staff are most often in contradiction with the interests of management and owners. Hence the elaboration of problems of increasing interest and leveling contradictions becomes significant aspects of cooperation of all stakeholders, despite the different conditions and countries of business operation. It is necessary to interact with stakeholders based on the company’s strategy and competently build an understandable communication strategy with them. The publication involves determining the points of interaction and coincidence of the interests of all participants in the management and development processes. The proposed algorithm for determining and adopting effective strategic changes in communication management can be used in the foreign market. The efficiency of the organization depends on how well the interaction with stakeholders is built. Interaction with stakeholders helps the organization to increase social capital, minimize non-financial risks, and identify new opportunities for the company’s development.

Authors: Sanchez-Gutierrez Fredd Oliver
Published: January 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN. La crisis inducida por la pandemia de COVID-19 no solo ha desequilibrado el sistema de salud, también ha perturbado la dinámica global de generación de residuos, al punto, de modificar la composición y cantidad de desechos. Entre ellos, la generación a niveles insostenibles de residuos sanitarios, siendo los equipos de protección personal (EPP) como las mascarillas, los de mayor proporción. Así como, el aumento desmedido en la generación de residuos de envases de plástico y plásticos de un solo uso, como resultado de las compras en línea. Los que, sumados al sistema deficiente de gestión de residuos existente antes de la pandemia, amenaza con exacerbar aún más los problemas ambientales y de salud, especialmente en países en desarrollo. OBJETIVO. Identificar los principales desafíos globales, que supone el cambio en la dinámica de la generación de residuos, además de explorar soluciones innovadoras para su manejo pos pandémico y modificaciones viables en las prácticas existentes. MÉTODO. Mediante la técnica de análisis documental se recolectó información primaria, se sistematizó en fichas de registro de datos y se identificaron los principales retos que supone el cambio en la dinámica de la generación de residuos. RESULTADOS. La pandemia de COVID-19, viene generando una inmensa cantidad de desechos sanitarios y plásticos, que sumado a factores como el modelo de desarrollo y los patrones de producción y consumo, supone un enorme reto global para establecer un sistema de gestión de residuos sostenible pospandemia. DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. El cambio en la dinámica de la generación de desechos sanitarios y plásticos durante el COVID-19, ha agravado los problemas de la gestión de residuos sólidos. Por tanto, modificar las prácticas existentes y adoptar un sistema de gestión de residuos más eficiente, inclusivo y sostenible, son retos sustanciales que deben abordarse con suma urgencia para evitar efectos adversos en la salud y el ambiente.

Introducción: Aunque el SDN se originó en el mundo académico, los REN académicos no han implementado ampliamente SDN en su red de producción, SDN nos da un nuevo rumbo arquitectónico que permite a la red ser controlada de manera inteligente y central, también permite ser programada, utilizando aplicaciones de software. Lo cual contribuye a que los operadores administren toda la red de manera eficiente, integral y constante, independientemente de la tecnología de red subyacente. Objetivo: Determinar los parámetros para aplicar SDN correctamente en infraestructura de redes educativas Método: Para poder contestar la pregunta de investigación planteada, se planifica un proceso metodológico dividido en 2 etapas: Análisis teórico y Análisis de los factores que influyen al aplicar SDN en redes educativas. Resultado: Se presentan una perspectiva basada en los servicios de los usuarios de las redes de comunicaciones de universidades, y a su vez en base a la investigación se proponen factores relacionados con SDN al implementar este tipo de redes. Conclusiones Los factores que se añaden al diseño de infraestructura de telecomunicaciones al aplicar a una red universitaria son: Gestión automatizada de la red. Gestión de actualizaciones de la red. Lenguaje de políticas de red. Seguridad. Eficiencia energética. Virtualización de redes. Controladores SDN distribuidos. Medidas de red, Calidad de servicio y calidad de la experiencia del usuario QoE. Dispositivos IoT, en la universidad inteligente, Seguridad de la red.

We evaluated performance, nutrient balance, nitrogen balance, and serum parameters in pigs in the nursery phase raised in environmental conditions above the thermoneutral zone that were fed with diets containing various levels of crude protein (CP). A total of 15 barrows (22.75 ± 1.58 kg) were housed in metabolism pens and distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments: 15.5%, 18.3%, and 21.0% of CP, designated T15, T18, and T21, respectively. There was a gradual increase of temperature over the first three days from 25 to 29.1 ± 2.3 °C. From d18 to d20 of the experiment, pigs received the same diet (18% CP) and thermoneutral conditions were reestablished (22.9 ± 1.9 ºC). There were higher values of urinary, excreted, and absorbed nitrogen in T21, followed by T18 and T15. Blood urea levels were higher in treatments with higher protein levels. On d4 (adaptation period), cholesterol levels were higher in the T15 group than in the T21 group, antioxidant power of iron reduction values were lower in the T18 group than the T21 group. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) on day 16 were higher in the T15 group, associated with the accumulation of heat stress and lower CP diets. Similar results were obtained for T18 with higher AOPP values on d16 than on d8 and d12. However, there were greater AOPP values in the T21 group on d20 (when the CP level was reduced to 18%) than on d8. Amino acid supplementation and reduction of CP in the diet to levels of 15.5% in piglets raised above the thermoneutral zone improved the use of CP. Furthermore, 15.5% of CP in the diet reduced the excretion of urinary nitrogen. The N-retention was not affected by dietary CP level, using the ideal protein concept. The use of 21%-CP in the diet efficiently avoided exacerbation of protein oxidation for pigs raised above thermoneutrality.

O presente estudo objetivou apreender as representações sociais dos alunos e professores da educação básica do Município de Guarabira/PB no que diz respeito à inclusão da disciplina Libras nas escolas. Como aporte teórico optou-se pela teoria das representações sociais, por permitir compreender como os sujeitos sociais concebem acontecimentos do cotidiano - informações, sentimentos e experiências sociais - relacionados à área da surdez. Como suporte metodológico foi realizado uma pesquisa de campo, de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa composta por uma amostra não-probabilística e de conveniência, formada por 50 sujeitos, sendo 22 alunos do curso de pedagogia e 18 professores da educação básica realizada em escolas pública e privada. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se um questionário sócio demográfico e a técnica da Associação Livre de Palavras cujos estímulos indutores foram: surdo; libras; inclusão social do surdo; inclusão da disciplina de libras na escola. Os dados provenientes da associação livre foram processados e analisados pelo software Tri-Deux-Mots, por meio da análise fatorial de correspondência. O estímulo “Libras” foi representado como: “algo produzido pelas mãos”, uma “linguagem de sinais”, que proporciona “ensino e ajuda”, sendo, portanto, uma “linguagem gestual”. Os resultados apontaram a relevância do estudo das representações sociais no que tange sua importância e obrigatoriedade no aprendizado da Libras. Proporcionou uma melhor compreensão na urgência de debates e discussões sobre a valorização e popularização para a sociedade, bem como na capacitação e ampliação didático-pedagógico enquanto ferramenta de ensino e aprendizagem no universo pesquisado.
