Abstract Introduction: There is little data in the literature on acute kidney injury (AKI) in Covid-19 cases, although relevant in clinical practice in the ICU, especially in Brazil. Our goal was to identify the incidence of AKI, predictive factors and impact on hospital mortality. Method: Retrospective cohort of patients with Covid-19 admitted to the ICU. AKI was defined according to KDIGO criteria. Data was collected from electronic medical records between March 17 and April 26. Results: Of the 102 patients, 55.9% progressed with AKI, and the majority (66.7%) was classified as stage 3. Multivariate logistic regression showed age (RC 1.101; 95% CI 1.026 - 1.181; p = 0.0070), estimated glomerular filtration rate - eGFR (RC 1.127; 95% CI 1.022 - 1.243; p = 0.0170) and hypertension (RC 3.212; 95% CI 1.065 - 9.690; p = 0.0380) as independent predictors of AKI. Twenty-three patients died. In the group without kidney injury, there were 8.9% deaths, while in the group with AKI, 33.3% of patients died (RR 5.125; 95% CI 1.598 - 16.431; p = 0.0060). The average survival, in days, was higher in the group without AKI. Cox multivariate analysis showed age (RR 1.054; 95% CI 1.014 - 1.095; p = 0.0080) and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (RR 8.953; 95% CI 1.128 - 71.048; p = 0.0380) as predictors of hospital mortality. Conclusion: We found a high incidence of AKI; and as predictive factors for its occurrence: age, eGFR and hypertension. AKI was associated with higher hospital mortality.
A visão afirmativa de Nietzsche na Segunda Consideração Extemporânea
Authors: Jensen Anthony K.
Published: February 2021

Resumo: A Segunda consideração extemporânea geralmente é tida em conta por filósofos e historiadores, em razão de sua crítica ao que Nietzsche classifica como “doença histórica”, (“historische Krankheit”). Isso por uma boa razão: a crítica de Nietzsche tem como alvo não apenas a famosa tríade composta por historiadores monumentais, antiquários e críticos, mas também suas modalidades contemporâneas em historiografia e teleologia científicas. O que frequentes vezes é desconsiderado é que o próprio Nietzsche expõe - ainda que numa retórica altamente estilizada - uma concepção afirmativa da história. Essa concepção, como eu proponho, faz o leitor retornar ao enunciado que inaugura o livro, qual seja, o Ceterum Censeo, de Goethe. A demanda de Nietzsche de que a história serve à vida é uma nova aplicação da teoria de Goethe do crescimento morfológico como consequência de forças polares concorrentes para o reino da história. Uma vez que Goethe tinha os organismos vivos como a crescer por meio de forças em concorrência, também Nietzsche entendia que os indivíduos e culturas cresciam por meio de uma história considerada, acima de tudo, uma espécie de arena competitiva em que se expressam impulsos antagonistas.
Filosofia, história, genealogia
Authors: Binoche Bertrand
Published: February 2021

Resumo: Neste artigo, procura-se evidenciar que a genealogia nietzschiana representa um conceito novo para a história da filosofia, que ela não deve ser confundida com a “filosofia histórica” de Humano, demasiado humano, mantendo antes uma identificação não utilitarista da história e da filosofia. Com isso, a genealogia dá origem a um tipo original de narrativa em que Nietzsche finalmente resolve satisfatoriamente uma de suas preocupações mais antigas, na medida em que a genealogia celebra o casamento da especulação e do empirismo à igual distância da história dos historiadores, das filosofias da história e da pseudo-história dos empiristas.
Filosofia do direito em perspectiva genealógica
Authors: Gonçalves Luiz Felipe Xavier
Published: February 2021

Resumo: Neste artigo, investigamos a concepção nietzschiana para a “filosofia do direito”. Assim, apresentamos a hipótese de que o autor possui uma conceituação heterodoxa acerca da filosofia do direito, podendo ser entendida numa perspectiva genealógica. Para coloca-la à prova, analisamos um fragmento póstumo de 1883 em três momentos: incialmente, apresentamos a crítica nietzschiana à filosofia do direito de Rudolf von Jhering. Em um segundo momento, indicamos que Nietzsche sinaliza uma perspectiva genealógica como novo método para ela. Por fim, apresentamos o que ele entende como um exemplo de erro interpretativo dos filósofos do direito: a significação da punição.
Uma perspectiva nietzschiana sobre liberdade e necessidade
Authors: Barrenechea Miguel Angel de
Published: February 2021

Resumo: Abordamos a interpretação nietzschiana sobre “liberdade” e “necessidade” e como o filósofo contesta noções da tradição, vinculadas a essa problemática: “causa e efeito”, “sujeito”, “vontade”, etc. Ele assinala como esses conceitos seriam construtos antropomórficos que não conseguem desvendar as ações geridas apenas pela dinâmica da vontade de potência. Mostramos que Nietzsche, mesmo com sua crítica aos conceitos da tradição, continua empregando noções como “fatalidade”, “necessidade”, que parecem reeditar uma conceituação antropomórfica. Indicamos como ele ultrapassa objeções passíveis de serem feitas a um pensamento oscilante, que parece negar e afirmar a liberdade. Concordamos com intérpretes que destacam como seu estilo suscita deliberadamente paradoxos e aporias, já que seu objetivo, antes que estabelecer uma doutrina ou uma teoria consolidada, visa instigar novas reflexões e experiências de pensamento sobre o agir do homem.
Natureza, caos e transformação: para uma antropologia filosófica transformadora
Authors: Lemm Vanessa
Published: February 2021

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é esboçar os traços de uma antropologia nietzschiana que sustente um processo de transformação humana. Na primeira parte, antropologia literária, argumento que sua antropologia resgata a noção grega arcaica da natureza como arte ou cultura. Na segunda parte, antropologia científica, apresento o método científico de Nietzsche e de Freud em sua aproximação filosófica da questão da natureza. Na terceira e última parte, antropologia transformadora, discuto o desafio da renaturalização do ser humano, isto é, compreender não apenas o que somos como seres humanos, mas também do que podemos nos tornar, questão que ilustro apelando para a ideia do “além-do-homem” de Nietzsche.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between grain yield and production costs of flood-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in order to determine the yield range that maximizes the profit of farmers. There are estimations pointing out that the yield range that maximizes the profit for farmers is about 75 and 85% of the yield potential; however, this still needs to be validated for irrigated rice in Brazil. To validate these values, a technical and economic monitoring was carried out for eight farmers of irrigated rice, whose production costs were measured and compared with the mean yield and the percentage of potential yield achieved. To determine the potential yield of each crop, SimulArroz, a process-based model developed for the simulation of rice growth and yield in the South of Brazil, was used. The grain yield achieved by the farmers ranged from 6.3 to 11.0 Mg ha-1 (48 to 83% of the potential yield), costs ranged from R$4,197.00 ha-1 to R$6,227.00 ha-1, and profit ranged from R$-52.00 ha-1 to R$3,599.00 ha-1. Farmers who reach between 69 and 83% of yield potential achieve the highest profitability. The investment planning based on the yield potential calculated by the SimulArroz model can be efficiently adopted for irrigated rice crops.
Classifier Chains: A Review and Perspectives
Authors: Read Jesse , Pfahringer Bernhard , Holmes Geoffrey , Frank Eibe
Published: February 2021

The family of methods collectively known as classifier chains has become a popular approach to multi-label learning problems. This approach involves chaining together off-the-shelf binary classifiers in a directed structure, such that individual label predictions become features for other classifiers. Such methods have proved flexible and effective and have obtained state-of-the-art empirical performance across many datasets and multi-label evaluation metrics. This performance led to further studies of the underlying mechanism and efficacy, and investigation into how it could be improved. In the recent decade, numerous studies have explored the theoretical underpinnings of classifier chains, and many improvements have been made to the training and inference procedures, such that this method remains among the best options for multi-label learning. Given this past and ongoing interest, which covers a broad range of applications and research themes, the goal of this work is to provide a review of classifier chains, a survey of the techniques and extensions provided in the literature, as well as perspectives for this approach in the domain of multi-label classification in the future. We conclude positively, with a number of recommendations for researchers and practitioners, as well as outlining key issues for future research.

Authors: Polyakova Nina , Zaleshin Vitalii , Polyakov Vladimir
Published: February 2021

The authors of the article consider such essential issue as studies of the comfort of the urban environment in Russian cities and also conduct a review of the studies in Russia and of the official solutions to the problem. The issues of conformity of the researchers’ findings and of the projects approved by the federal government with the me­thodological and practical requirements of comfort evaluation are also discussed. Among these requirements, there is social and economic importance (assignment), the status of the criterion «urban environment comfort» as well as completeness, structure and validity of the indices. The authors’ method of diagnosing the comfort of the urban environment with the use of the integrated approach is substantiated. This approach is based on the concept of place marketing. The algorithm of developing methods of evaluation of the comfort of the urban environment is given. This algorithm includes development of factors which determine the state of the urban environment; development of a system of criteria (aggregated into five groups), specifying the content of the factors and reflecting a significant number of residents' requirements, and identification of evaluation intervals for each criterion. The authors present the results of the assessment of the developed method which allow them to consider it feasible. This means that it can be used to obtain quantitative evaluation of the comfort of the urban environment as a whole and of its separate aspects.

Published: February 2021

Biological aggregations, in particular photogranules, can be found in different environments as one of the forms of existence of microorganisms, algae and small invertebrates. As far as they are systems, in which multiple ecological functions are performed by different elements simultaneously, they are considered a promising means for use in wastewater treatment. This paper provides description and composition of photogranules for the first time discovered in mass, 2,5 m away from the water edge in Listvennichnyi Bay of Lake Baikal in October 2015. The photogranules were maroon, free-floating, with a diameter of 0,5 to 1,5 cm, and were not hollow. Their main component was radially divergent filaments of oscillatorian cyanobacteria dominated by the members of the genus Symplocastrum. Photogranules with a diameter of less than 1 cm contained a large number of filaments of Spirogyra sp. ster., which in recent years have become widespread in the littoral of Lake Baikal and in the Angara River. In addition, there were fragments of numerous filamentous green algae, as well as diatom cells with Didymosphenia spp. dominance. The identified taxa are typical for the stony littoral zone of the lake at the depths from 0 to 3 m. Photogranulation in Baikal may be the result of overproduction of bottom communities of algae and cyanobacteria under conditions of increased anthropogenic load in the shallow water zone. Probably, photogranules can act as one of the mechanisms that perform the functions of natural self-purification in Baikal.
Dynamic Model of Optimal Allocation of an Individual's Wealth
Authors: Antipina Natalya
Published: February 2021

Currently, numerous studies have been undertaken to examine the influence of external and internal factors on the process of accumulation of individuals’ savings and also the ratio between the population’s savings and the rate of economic growth. This notwithstanding, economic theory does not have a unanimous point of view on this issue. Moreover, Russian economic literature pays little attention to the issue of activation of investment potential of the population and to quantitative evaluation of its savings. Hence, the issue of optimal allocation of an individuals’ wealth between consumption and savings is essential and can be taken in consideration when using savings for investment. The interest in solving this kind of problems helps fill the gap in the theory researching population’s savings and allows scholars to develop a number of directions for new additional research, in particular, for investigation of mathematical models which formalize economic problems of consumption theory. In the article, the author suggests a dynamic model of optimal allocation of an individual’s wealth with some modifications and also a qualitative analysis of the basic model with the help of the optimal control theory. The results of the research are interpreted from the economic perspective. Recommendations for optimal allocation of an individual’s wealth according to the value of the model parameters are given.

Authors: Trofimov Yevgeny
Published: February 2021

The author analyzes contemporary characteristics of migration processes in the post-Soviet territory. Factors which explain the dynamics of migration gain of Russias population due to former Soviet Republics and the ones which lead to increased ethnic tensions are considered. Such post-Soviet phenomenon as xenophobia is highlighted. It can be observed in the majority of former republics of the USSR. The author draws a conclusion that international migration is becoming a specific indicator which characterizes attractiveness of a country. The article discusses some issues which concern peculiarities of migrants employment and their discrimination in the labor market. It is mentioned that most migrants come to Russia from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The author substantiates that the dissolution of the Soviet Union sharply intensified migration processes between the former republics. These processes are characterized by, to some extent, fast cyclic changes.

Published: February 2021

The demographic crisis in recent decades is one of the most acute problems in Russia and it poses a significant threat to the economic security of Siberian regions. Here the natural population decline is combined with intensive migration outflows. The decrease in the working-age population directly affects the economic indicators of the regions. The analysis of modern methods for assessing the economic security of regions showed insufficient attention on the part of researchers to demographic indicators. The article examines the economic security of the Irkutsk region from the point of view of assessing the social component, or rather the demographic indicators, it also identifies the main trends and current reasons for the decline in population. The authors pay special attention to the study of the nature, causes and consequences of migration. The correlation interdependence of the gross regional product and the demographic indicators is calculated. A forecast of the state of economic security of the Irkutsk region based on the indicated demographic trends is made.

Authors: Чуканов Сергей Николаевич
Published: February 2021

ВВ криптографических системах шифрования информации используются гиперкомплексные числа: кватернионы и октонионы. В качестве ключа применяется кватернион, который производит вращения группы выборок информации. Кватернионы и бикватернионы являются частными случаями геометрической алгебры Клиффорда. Использование векторов и мультивекторов геометрической алгебры для шифрования информации позволяет расширить разнообразие этих векторов. Для шифрования информации, представленной совокупностью векторов геометрической алгебры, эти векторы умножаются на мультивектора, которые осуществляют операцию ротор (rotor). В качестве ключа используется мультивектор (ротор). Для дешифрования информации применяется операция, которая соответствует обратному ротору. Алгоритмы геометрической алгебры повышают безопасность шифрования информации за счет повышения размерности алгебры. Для повышения производительности шифрования предлагается коэффициенты информационного вектора и мультивектора вращения выбирать из поля Z256. Предлагается вектор информации с коэффициентами из Z256 складывать со случайным вектором с коэффициентами из Z256 и считать эти коэффициенты ключами шифрования. Приведены базисные векторы применяемых геометрических алгебр и таблицы геометрических произведений базисных векторов.
A cognitive computing conceptual model for agile e-government design
Authors: Agbozo Ebenezer , Medvedev Alexander N.
Published: February 2021

Studies have linked e-government failures (primarily its adoption and development) to factors such as design shortcomings and design-reality gaps. With the increased availability of big data and analytical techniques, government agencies must leverage data-driven models in the design and implementation of electronic government (e-government) or digital government solutions. By doing so, minimizing design-reality gap problems and design shortcomings is attainable. Backed by stakeholder theory and the Agile design methodology, this study proposes a cognitive computing framework as an efficient approach to the design of public sector electronic services (e-services) so as to obtain value. Cognitive computing was deemed appropriate for inclusion into the Agile methodology for e-government design because of its rapid frequency of expansion of data for which the human mind is limited in analytical ability as well as the desire by policy makers to reduce burdens and cost against the desire for more tailored solutions. With respect to research, cognitive computing models present a novel means of implementing human-centric and data-driven processes into practical domains of discourse and these models have yet to be integrated into the e-government sphere. By applying design thinking, the proposed model is built and tested in the UPPAAL model-checking software by applying the principle of finite state deterministic automatons. Theoretical and practical contributions are made to the fields of e-government, Agile methodology, and quality service delivery. Future research recommendations for expansion and building evaluation metrics are also indicated in the study.
Гибридные методы решения задач удовлетворения нечисловых ограничений с использованием специализированных таблиц
Authors: Зуенко Александр Анатольевич
Published: February 2021

Для повышения эффективности представления и обработки качественных зависимостей предметной области в рамках технологии программирования в ограничениях, в статье предлагается использовать специализированные табличные структуры: C- и D-системы. С точки зрения технологии программирования в ограничениях данные структуры могут быть отнесены к такому классу глобальных ограничений как compressed таблицы. Впервые разработаны гибридные методы решения задач удовлетворения нечисловых ограничений, формализованных с помощью предлагаемых C- и D-систем. Отличительной чертой авторских методов является то, что они не используют стратегий поиска в глубину с возвратами, приводящих к экспоненциальному росту времени выполнения вычислительных процедур при росте размерности задачи. Первый из предложенных гибридных методов интегрирует авторские методы распространения нечисловых ограничений с существующими алгоритмами структурной декомпозиции графа ограничений. В результате декомпозиции задача разбивается на подзадачи, граф ограничений каждой из которых представляет собой дерево. В этом случае подзадачи решаются за полиномиальное время с помощью авторских алгоритмов распространения нечисловых ограничений. Метод хорошо подходит для ситуации, когда имеется серия задач с одной и той же структурой графа ограничений, например при анализе типовых запросов к хранилищам данных. Второй из разработанных гибридных методов интегрирует следующие компоненты: авторские методы распространения нечисловых ограничений для сокращения размерности пространства поиска; метод локального поиска на частичных присваиваниях для быстрого выхода из подпространств, не содержащих решение; поиск с запретами (tabu search) для избегания повторного прохождения уже исследованных состояний. Он предназначен для ситуаций, когда требуется найти решение на основе больших объемом информации, но при этом отсутствуют априорные сведения о структуре графа задачи удовлетворения ограничений.

Authors: Ersa Lanang Sanjaya, Stefani Virlia Jimmy Ellya Kurniawan,
Published: February 2021

Several studies have shown that entrepreneurial orientation in high school students can predict career choices as businessmen in the future. However, not many studies have developed a measurement instrument for entrepreneurial orientation in high school students in one solid variable construct. This study aims to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and norming on a scale that was previously explored. A survey of 646 high school students was conducted in six large cities throughout the provinces on Java Island, Indonesia. The results of this research confirmed that the construct of entrepreneurial orientation in high school students has three dimensions: innovativeness, risky proactiveness and competitiveness. The study also produced a norm index for junior and senior high school students. This scale will be useful in mapping the level of student’s entrepreneurial orientation and assist high school management bodies to prepare programs that are more suitable to developing entrepreneurial behavior in students.

Self Actualization According to Bediuzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960) in Risale-I Nur
Authors: Et al. Abdul Gaffar
Published: February 2021

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi is one of the thinkers and reformers from Turkey who emerged as a figure of Sufism, the savior of faith and Islam in the 19th century. This research found a formulation of the self-actualization process that was different from the concepts of other scientists. According to Said Nursi, humans' self-concept consists of several natures: the rabbani nature, the nafsani nature, the spiritual nature, the physical nature, the tafakkur nature, and the tadhabbur nature. Some of these natures depend on the characteristics of the human soul journey, which cannot be separated from the fulfillment of worldly and spiritual needs and the ultimate need in the form of spirituality. Said Nursi's self-actualization positions as one of the alternative thinking frameworks based on the Koran, which goes through a four-step self-actualization process: through devotion to Allah by burying arrogance (abdun wa al-faqr), through the light of faith in God, through manifesting Asma-ul-Husna (Names of Allah) reflected in oneself, and by following the path of the Qur'an as the path of nature. Even Said Nursi repeatedly emphasized that every human being actually has the potential in the form of intrinsic faculties residing in his heart, soul, and intellect. Those popularly known as Al-Tafakkur, Tadhabbur, Al-'Ajz, Al-Fāqr, and Al-Shāfaqah are called spiritual innovations that lead to the development of tauhid to shape character and behavior towards perfect humans (Inshan Al-Kamil).

Published: February 2021

The study examines the social and psychological impact of the COVID -19 pandemic on university students in a number of variables related to daily activities, family relations, university student relations and psychological health. The study aimed to find out the effect of closure during the spread of COVID -19 on the psychological and social aspects of university students. The study was conducted from 1-26 November and a questionnaire was developed that was completed online using the Google Forms platform in order to reach the largest possible number of students. A random sample of students from the University of Blida 2 in Algeria was selected in the Faculties of Humanities and Economics, taking into account homogeneity. And the disparity in the university community. The sample size was 132 students.

The most important results of the study can be summed up in that there are no significant differences in the social and psychological impact of COVID -19 on students who were infected with the virus and who were not infected with regard to variables of daily activity and university relations, but we find that the closure has affected family relations and the mental health of people with Corona virus.
The Relationship between Learning Motivation and Demographic, Socio-Emotional Aspects among Arab Minority Preservice Teachers in Israel
Authors: Zubeidat Ihab Dallasheh Waleed,
Published: February 2021

Learning motivation means driving influences from internal (intrinsic) or external (extrinsic) forces that give learners power to learn effectively, implicating processes of learning engagement. This study examines the differences in learning motivation levels among preservice teachers in the Arab minority in Israel according to demographic and socio-emotional aspects, and the relationships between level of learning motivation and various socio-emotional characteristics. 543 Arab minority students of education (with different majors) were chosen by means of random cluster sampling, and were asked to fill out questionnaires. The findings indicated significant differences in the level of the students' learning motivation for only two demographic variables: study program and specialization. Significant negative relationships were found between learning motivation and depression and social anxiety, and significant positive relationships were found between learning motivation and perceived social and family support and self-esteem. Multiple regression results revealed that the most significant factors that explained the variance of learning motivation among Arab minority preservice teachers were perceived social and family support (13.5%), followed by social anxiety (1.9%), and self-esteem (1.1%). These findings contribute to the understanding of the nature of the relationship between learning motivation and other demographic and socio-emotional aspects of preservice teachers from Israeli Arab society.

Published: February 2021

Nowadays the presence of noises in the extracted image is a major constrain in the Image Processing environment. An ultimate goal of this paper is to optimize the watermark image using particle swarm optimization. Earlier, the research focused on the video watermarking process where the watermark image is embedded into the video as invisible and can be sent to the receiver side for an extraction. While at the extraction stage, the image what embedded was not been retrieved at the receiver side due to the presence of various noises and occurance of errors in the medium. Hence while comparing the extracted image with the original image, the accuracy was poor and non reconstructable. So this paper serves solution for the above said problem using Particle Swarm Optimization Technique. As the end, the extracted image can be reconstructed to the maximum extent as equal to the input image. This scheme can be widely used in the Medical Imaging application, Defence, etc.
Methodological Foundations of the Problem of Parts of Speech in Linguistics
Authors: Et al. Dilfuza Sayidmahamadzhanovna Saiidyrakhimova
Published: February 2021

Morphology is directly different from other levels of the language. This is due to the fact that word groups and their specific grammatical categories are the most important issues in the formation of speech. Therefore, the morphological units of the language have been of interest to linguists from the very beginning of linguistics, and even now the study of issues related to the problems of morphology, as well as extensive scientific analysis in the morphological aspect, continues on the basis of new paradigms of the language.

Given this, this article is devoted to the study of parts of speech in linguistics, which is one of the most pressing problems of modern general linguistics. It examines the extralinguistic and intralinguistic foundations of the formation of adverbs in the languages ​​we study. When studying and analyzing these issues, we used methods of comparison, description, as well as thematic analysis.
