Authors: Xu Yazhou , Chen Yuxiang , Zhao Zhendong , Xu Shichao
Published: May 2021

Soybean-oil rosin-based polyester (SRP) has many uses in papermaking, but its performance as an internal sizing agent differs depending on the circumstances. In this study, a comprehensive laboratory approach was used to investigate the process variables affecting SRP application. Five levels of SRP (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%), five levels of aluminum sulfate (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%), and five levels of cationic polyacrylamide (0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, and 0.25%) were considered to determine the best process variables within a pH range of 5.0 to 9.0. Aspects that were considered included the mechanical properties (tensile, burst, and tear indices), water resistance (Cobb test, dynamic c9197ontact angle test, and scanning electron microscopy), and chemical usage (economical and environmentally friendly procedures). The optimum conditions based on these factors were 1.0% SRP, 1.0% aluminum sulfate, and 0.15% cationic polyacrylamide levels at a pH of 7.0. The results showed that in the optimal sizing system, 15% calcium carbonate can be tolerated.
The case for urban and reclaimed wood in the circular economy
Authors: Pitti Anna R. , Espinoza Omar , Smith Robert
Published: May 2021

Circular economy production, or upcycling of traditional waste products, has evolved in alignment with consumer driven accountability and demand for environmentally friendly alternatives. In recent years, industries have emerged to upcycle materials for value-added production. This paper presents case study interview results used to gather information about current marketing practices within the urban and reclaimed wood industries, which upcycles trees felled in urban areas and wood generated through construction and demolition. Firms reported entering the industry for a variety of reasons, most frequently surrounding intangible raw material and product attributes. Interviewees reported generating primarily made-to-order products, made-to-stock furniture, mantels, slabs, lumber, beams, flooring, millwork, and other products priced largely in line with their competition. Promotion consisted primarily of word of mouth, company webpages, social media, and event participation, such as craft fairs or trade shows. Firms relayed messages of sustainability, local production, quality, and emotional value. Companies primarily participate in direct, retail, or online sales, which have become increasingly prevalent. This paper outlines opportunities to explore, as well as barriers to overcome through examination of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats present in the internal and external environments of the urban and reclaimed wood industries.

Enteroviruses are a frequent source of infection and among the most common central nervous system viral pathogens. Enteroviruses – in particular, the Coxsackie B viruses – are a known cause of myocarditis. Rituximab is a genetically engineered chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. Many reports in the literature suggest a higher risk of infection following repeated rituximab therapy, including viral infection. However, observations of enterovirus-related myocarditis in the context of rituximab treatment are scarce. The authors describe the case of a patient with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder who developed severe and fatal enterovirus-related myocarditis after rituximab therapy with a difficult differential diagnosis of autoimmune or giant-cell myocarditis. This case highlights the importance of complete diagnostic workup in difficult cases of myocarditis, including endomyocardial biopsies.
HEAT-RESISTANT CONCRETE BASED ON ORTHOPHOSPHORIC ACID, WASTE OF NON-FERROUS METALLURGY AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Authors: Abdrakhimov V. Z , Abdrakhimov E. S
Published: May 2021

Currently, as numerous studies show, raw natural resources are running out, so it is necessary to involve in the production turnover of industrial waste for the manufacture of heat-resistant concrete. At the same time, the costs of geological exploration, construction and operation of quarries are excluded, and significant land plots are freed from the impact of negative anthropogenic factors. Multi-tonnage waste of non-ferrous metallurgy-ferrite-calcium slag containing 50-51 % Fe2O3, was used as an iron-containing filler for the production of heat-resistant concretes. Ferrite-calcium slag is a man-made raw material (production waste) of processing copper-zinc concentrates, obtained by slow cooling of the material to complete scattering, light yellow in color and resembling fine sand. The trivalent iron oxide Fe2O3 contained in the slag reacts very slowly with orthophosphoric acid H3PO4 at normal temperature; therefore, it is necessary to heat the mixture to 70 °C, since its own heat is not released by the reaction. A, the ferrous iron oxide FeO contained in the slag, as well as Fe(OH)3 hydroxide, on the contrary, reacts with the acid vigorously, releasing a significant amount of heat, so the binder dough begins to set after 2 minutes at a temperature of 20 °C due to significant heat release. Chemical industry waste - the spent IM-2201 catalyst was used as an aluminum-containing raw material and is a fine powder with a specific surface area of up to 8000 cm2/g and a fire resistance of up to 2000 oС. Studies have shown that due to the use of orthophosphoric acid as a binder, it is possible to dispose of up to 80-90 % of non-ferrous metallurgy and chemical industry waste and at the same time obtain heat-resistant concretes with high physical and mechanical properties.

Background: Styloid process (SP) is a needle shaped projection of the temporal bone, which lies in close proximity to several important anatomical structures of the head and neck. It attracts the attention of anatomists, otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons, as an abnormally long SP is linked with a clinical condition known as Eagle Syndrome. There are numerous studies in the literature investigating morphometric characteristics of SP, including its length in different populations. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of SP elongation in Greek population and to construct an epidemiologic map showing the incidence of SP elongation across different regions of Greek territory. Materials and methods: Two hundred and nine skulls retrieved from cemeteries across Greece were meticulously examined. Ninety-four male skulls and one-hundred and fifteen females, all of Hellenic origin. SP length was measured from the lowest inner point of the surface between the SP and the stylomastoid foramen to its tip, utilizing a digital caliper and a steel wire. Data from this study were statistically analyzed and combined with data from other studies in Greek population in order to construct a detailed epidemiologic map. Results: The mean length was 27.26 ± 5.89 mm for the left and 27.84 ± 6.31 mm for the right SP. In males 36.4% of the left and 37.8% of the right SP were elongated. In females the incidence of SP elongation was 14.3% and 15.5% for left and right side respectively. Statistically significant association was observed between gender and SP length but not between age and SP length. Conclusion: This study enriches the literature by adding information about elongated SP incidence in Greek population. It reviews the existing studies about SP length in Greeks and presents an epidemiologic map showing the incidence of SP elongation across different regions in Greece. KEY WORDS: Skull, Eagle syndrome, Hellenic population, Elongated Styloid Process.

KHILCHEVSKYI V.K. CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER RESOURCES OF UKRAINE BASED ON THE DATABASE OF THE GLOBAL INFORMATION SYSTEM FAO AQUASTAT
Authors: Khilchevskyi V.K.
Published: May 2021

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN FAO) has the most advanced information on water resources in all countries of the world, since the share of the agriculture sector in world water use is 70%. It operates the FAO Global Information System on Water and Agriculture (abbreviated as FAO Aquastat). The data contained in this database comes from the relevant government bodies of the countries of the world (reports, publications, official websites), from information bases of other UN agencies or international organizations (UN WHO – World Health Organization; UN FPA – United Nations Population Fund; ICOLD – International Commission on Large Dams) or obtained by modeling. The Water Resources section of the FAO global information system contains about 40 indicators. The database is filled with the average values of indicators for the segments of years: 1988-1992; 1993-1997; 1998-2002; 2003-2007; 20008-2012; 2013-2017.
The assessment of water resources carried out in the article based on the database of the global information system FAO Aquastat (1988-2017). showed the following results in Ukraine: internal river flow – 50.1 km3; inflow from adjacent territories – 120.2 km3; total river runoff – 170.3 km3; available groundwater reserves – 5 km3; internal renewable water resources – 55.1 km3; total renewable water resources – 175.3 km3.
In terms of total renewable water resources per person (3964 m3/person/year) among 50 European countries as of 2017, Ukraine ranked 27th. In terms of internal renewable water resources per person (1246 m3/person/year), Ukraine ranked 37th in Europe. In terms of total renewable water resources (175.3 km3), Ukraine ranked 6th in Europe. In terms of the volume of internal renewable water resources (55.1 km3), Ukraine ranked 14th. Ukraine has a high coefficient of external dependence of water resources (Кз = 66.8%), which characterizes the share of total renewable water resources formed outside the country in adjacent territories – 9th place in Europe.
The data on the components of water resources in Ukraine, which are given in FAO Aquastat, differ from the data published in Ukrainian sources. It is necessary to pay special attention to this methodological problem in the scientific and expert environment, as well as among officials in our country – the State Agency for Water Resources of Ukraine, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. Indeed, with the course towards European integration, there can be no difference in information for internal and external use.
AGE OF MIDAS: NEW WORLD ORDER
Authors: Teleshun Iaroslav
Published: May 2021

Corruption is an unchanging and “faithful” companion of the humanity accompanying it since ancient times. And like any product of mankind, it isn’t a static phenomenon and develops in parallel with the complication of human relations. With the globalization the corruption has transformed and acquired new features that make it possible to classify it likes “global corruption”. We assume that in today’s world, global corruption is a stabilizing mechanism of the modern model of world order and a safeguard against the destruction of non-viable forms of human coexistence. There are three main reasons for the inequality of income distribution in the world: 1) the existence of so-called “tax havens” – offshore zones that allow large-cap owners to avoid paying taxes; 2) inefficiency or unwillingness of national governments and the world community in regulating this issue; 3) the systematic business and politics interpenetration and the emergence of the newest phenomenon – the so-called “global corruption”. We argue that in such case post-Soviet States (including Ukraine and Russia) become a source and a “transit hub” for global corruption. Under the condition of systemic institutional instability existence, financial-industrial groups are losing exclusively economic features and getting new features, which allow them to be classified as financial-political groups. For such kind of corporate groups is typical the combination of economic, political, social and administrative components for the realization their private interests. We propose two development scenarios of corruption interconnection between financial-industrial groups and public authorities in States with unstable institutional environment: 1) complete subordination of political and economic activities of financial-industrial groups to the will of the State – “occupation of business” (for example in the Russian Federation); 2) “seizure of power” by financial-industrial groups and their further transformation into financial-political groups (for example in Ukraine). We are convinced that in such circumstances corruption can be used by some Sates as an effective tool for the political process’ influence of other countries.
DIALECTICS OF FORMING THE AXIOLOGICAL PLATFORM OF THE PERSONALITY IN THE PEDAGOGICAL PROCESS
Authors: Bidenko Yevhen
Published: May 2021

The process of forming values in the education system takes place in the field of freedom of choice by the subject of the value system which they perceive as being their own and corresponding to their worldview and life priorities. Forming personal values is directly or indirectly influenced by the understanding (and awareness) of a person (a child, pupil or student) of the meaning and role of the values in the process of comparing them with historic realities, the present and vision of the perspectives for development. The latter is formed by culture, education and upbringing. The school plays the primary role in forming the value palette in a personality. Without underestimating the physical and mathematical or natural and geographical cycles of subjects, we note that the current values are formed primarily through the cycle of socio-humanities, the leading among which are literature, philosophy and history. This is where examples of the realization of values of various nature are directly considered, and students draw certain conclusions about the moral or immoral behavior of the character in a piece, patriotic or unpatriotic actions of a historical figure, etc. At the same time, forming the values in the education system cannot occur apart from general social processes and trends, which in turn form a demand for a particular education system and probable influences of hereditary structures, collective unconscious and intellectual, moral, emotional and social development.
The purpose of the article is to determine the principles of the axiological platform of the personality in the pedagogical process. The results of the research. Self-development of values in the pedagogical process is one of the ways of forming the personality and an important basis for self-realization and self-actualization of the personality in the social environment. Teaching and self-developing the values in the pedagogical process promotes the development of all subjects and objects of educational activity, increases the degree of their spirituality, and it enriches the means of self-expression.

Published: May 2021

The aim of this review is to analyze the publications on the impact of COVID-19 on the virtual work of teachers in relation to work, socio-family and mental health. To review the literature, 32 articles were examined in the following databases: Scopus, EBSCO and Scielo; in English and Spanish, between 2020-2021. The search terms were: "teachers AND Covid-19", "impact of Covid-19 on teachers", "mental health AND teachers", "stress AND COVID-19", "family AND COVID-19". In addition, for the analysis of the results, 14 articles were considered and organized in a data matrix considering the aspects: work life, socio-family and mental health of teachers; framed in the COVID-19 context. As a result, in one study, 36.1% of teachers indicated that they were moderately satisfied with their work because they were not prepared to take on virtual education. Likewise, other authors found that levels of stress and distress were increasing, reaching very serious levels. Consequently, studies carried out on the impact of COVID-19 on teachers' work show that it has significantly affected their daily educational work, but that teachers have found coping strategies to deal with this new social and pedagogical dynamic.

Pattern generalization is an important aspect of mathematics contained in every topic in teaching. This study aims to investigate middle school students’ generalization of number patterns based on learning style. Descriptive qualitative, portraying or describing the events that are the center of attention (problem-solving abilities, student learning styles) qualitatively.This study explored 4 participants (12 to 13 years old) with their constructed number pattern they had generalized during individual task-based interviews. Questions that include indicators of the problem solving process in terms of student learning styles, and interviews. The data analysis used was namely data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. We found that students who are converger, diverger, accommodator, and assimilator understands the problem by knowing what is known and asked and explains the problem with their own sentences. The converger and assimilator students look back without checking the counts involved, the diverger students do not see other alternative solutions and do not check the counts involved, accommodator students consider that the solutions obtained are logical, ask themselves whether the question has been answered, check the counts that are done, reread the question, and use other alternative solutions. The implication of this study indicated that students of the type of converger, diverger, accommodator, and assimilator are able to solve problems through the stages of implementing plans by interpreting problems in mathematical form, implementing strategies during the process and counting takes place. Based on several studies on pattern generalization, there have not been researchers who have revealed the number pattern generalization of high school students based on learning styles.

Por primera vez, en la Constitución de 1991 se reconocieron los derechos que le asisten a los pueblos indígenas, derechos que por muchos años les fueron desconocidos y hasta negados. No obstante, plasmar estos derechos en diferentes artículos de la Constitución no fue suficiente, pues continuaron siendo menoscabados. Fue a partir de diferentes acciones constitucionales e internacionales que se logró la reivindicación y la protección de los derechos de estas comunidades, ante las continuas vulneraciones y agresiones. Desde la propia interpretación de la Constitución y de la aplicación de las sentencias proferidas por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH), el libro muestra cómo la Corte Constitucional ha interpretado, dogmatizado y protegido los derechos de los pueblos indígenas. Se identifica en este proceso que no siempre se puede estandarizar la interpretación y la protección de los mismos, por el contrario, es necesario examinar cada caso en particular. Es por lo anterior que el texto muestra el ejercicio hermenéutico, analítico e interpretativo que realiza la Corte Constitucional frente a las exigencias de la protección de los derechos fundamentales derivados de la autodeterminación de los pueblos ancestrales, miembros de las diferentes comunidades indígenas. En algunos casos, la Corte apoya sus decisiones en las decisiones de la Corte IDDH.

Published: May 2021

Haberlea rhodopensis is a paleolithic tertiary relict species that belongs to the unique group of resurrection plants sharing remarkable tolerance to desiccation. When exposed to severe drought stress, this species shows an ability to maintain structural integrity of its deactivated photosynthetic apparatus, which easily reactivates upon rehydration. In addition to its homoiochlorophyllous nature, the resurrection capability of H. rhodopensis is of particular importance to the global climate change mitigation. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed the mitochondrial (mt) genome of H. rhodopensis for the first time. The master circle has a typical circular structure of 484 138 bp in length with a 44.1% GC content in total. The mt genome of H. rhodopensis contains 59 genes in total, including 35 protein-coding, 21 tRNAs, and 3 rRNAs genes. 7 tandem repeats and 85 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are distributed throughout the mt genome. The alignment of 20 plant mt genomes confirms the phylogenetic position of H. rhodopensis in the Lamiales order. Our comprehensive analysis of the complete mt genome of H. rhodopensis is a significant addition to the limited database of organelle genomes of resurrection species. Comparative and phylogenetic analysis provides valuable information for a better understanding of mitochondrial molecular evolution in plants.
NEW BOOKS ON THOMAS BERNHARD
Authors: Kotelevskaya Vera V.
Published: May 2021

The paper is a review of three books on the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard (1931–1989), Georg Büchner Prize and Medici Prize winner, one of the most provocative 20th century “classic” writers. The year 2021 is marked with his 90th birthday. Three German biographies of Bernhard, different in genre, evaluative approach, and media form, are of special interest. They are the encyclopedic guide “Thomas Bernhard: Life, work, and influence” (2018), the memoirs of his half-brother (physician) and a heir P. Fabian “A life at Thomas Bernhard’s side. A report” (2021), and the graphic novel biography of the Austrian designer N. Mahler, “Thomas Bernhard: The incorrect biography” (2021). These books, from the guide that systemizes the results of many years of research on the writer, to the comics that offers a travesty biography of a “saint” of a literary world, confirm the canonization of the German literature enfant terrible and demonstrate the inclusion of Bernhard’s poetics in the world literary process, including the sphere of mass literature.
GERMAN RECEPTION OF MODERN MIGRANT PROSE OF THE AUTHORS FROM THE FORMER USSR
Authors: Anokhina Anastasia A.
Published: May 2021

The literature of migrant authors from the former USSR became popular in the German literary market not only within the framework of the well-known international phenomenon of “new immigrant chic”, but also due to the specific character of German literary market, which is characterized by the demand for “narrative lightness” of modern literature. The main aspects of the promotion of writers on the literary scene in Germany are the role of the literary publisher in choosing marketing strategies for authors, the self-positioning of writers, and the interest of the readers in a biography that is exotic for German-speaking society. The interaction between different generations of migrant writers, the lack of success of migrant prose from the former Soviet Union in the Russian literary market as well as the current trend towards publishers’ creating a feigned image of the migrant writer with Russian roots are particularly relevant topics in this discussion.
Derivatives in accounting
Authors: Czajkowska Katarzyna , Obrzeżgiewicz Dawid
Published: May 2021

One type of financial instruments are derivatives whose price depends on the value of the underlying instrument. There are two different approaches to accounting of derivatives: general model—in which derivatives are presented as assets or financial liabilities, measured at fair value and referred to the financial result, and hedge accounting—which requires symmetrical recognition of changes in the value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument. Information on derivatives is presented in the financial statements. The derivative is reflected in the balance sheet of the entity that is a party to a given contract, while the result obtained on the derivative contract is presented in the profit and loss statement.
Indonesia y su proceso de consolidación como potencia media bajo el periodo presidencial de Joko Widodo (2014-2017) (2017-2019)
Authors: Molina Cortes Laura Daniela
Published: May 2021

La multipolaridad del sistema internacional se ha visto reflejada por el surgimiento de nuevos poderes que buscan generar influencia y aspiran a cumplir un rol mucho más activo dentro del sistema internacional, socavando el dominio y posicionamiento de algunas potencias occidentales. Indonesia es un claro ejemplo debido a que desde su nacimiento pasó por diversos cambios, en donde experimentó varias crisis y tiempos prósperos que le ayudaron a crecer como Estado, y desde un inicio plantearse la idea de obtener un papel destacado a nivel mundial. En su proceso de poder consolidarse como potencia media ha implementado una clara estrategia diplomática, enfocada en demostrar su potencial, influencia y credibilidad frente a los demás. Esta estrategia hace alusión al Eje Marítimo Global, implementado por Joko Widodo, una visión marítima que ha destacado la posición geoestratégica de Indonesia, la cual la hace merecedora de grandes beneficios tanto económicos como comerciales. Además, ha incentivado el interés en participar activamente de los asuntos regionales haciéndole frente a diversos fenómenos, y la importancia de mantener buenas relaciones con sus vecinos y con las grandes potencias. Estos factores, sin lugar a duda, juegan un papel importante para reafirmar su rol e influencia dentro del sistema internacional. Sin embargo, existen dificultades de seguridad interna y externa que necesitan ser abordadas para que no se vuelvan un obstáculo dentro de su proceso de consolidación como potencia media (Pavez & Rosales, 2016).
Um estudo sobre o responder relacional de comparação com base na aceitação de substâncias psicoativas utilizando o IRAP

Published: May 2021

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar, por meio do Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), a existência de um responder relacional de comparação com base na aceitação de substâncias psicoativas. Esperava-se que, mesmo pessoas que nunca consumiram tais substâncias, pudessem desenvolver uma ordem de aceitação semelhante à ordem de consumo dessas drogas no Brasil (i.e., álcool mais aceitável que o tabaco, tabaco mais aceitável que a maconha e maconha mais aceitável que a cocaína). Estudantes universitários com baixos níveis de consumo de álcool e sem história prévia de uso de tabaco, maconha e cocaína participaram do estudo. Os participantes preencheram quatro escalas Likert para aferir a aceitação de cada substância psicoativa e responderam a um IRAP programado para avaliar o responder relacional de comparação entre as quatro substâncias psicoativas mencionadas anteriormente. Nossos resultados não confirmaram a hipótese de que a ordem de aceitação das substâncias psicoativas seguiria a ordem de prevalência de uso destas substâncias. Em uma análise post hoc, somente os resultados do IRAP serviram para diferenciar participantes com e sem experiência prévia com álcool. São realizadas considerações a respeito da relação entre atitudes específicas sobre substâncias psicoativas e seu uso, bem como sobre a programação dos estímulos no IRAP e suas limitações para avaliar o responder relacional de comparação.
Effects of coherence on speaker preference and rule-following
Authors: Bianchi Paulo H. , Perez William F. , Harte Colin , Barnes-Holmes Dermot

Rule-following is affected by multiple variables. A relevant aspect of rules regards whether they “make sense”, that is, the extent to which the instruction coheres with previously reinforced patterns of relational responding. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of relational coherence upon rule-following. After mastering a particular set of conditional relations (e.g., A1B1, A2B2), the participants were exposed to two speakers, one of which would “state” relations that cohered (e.g., A1B1, A2B2) with the participant’s previous relational training and the other that would present relations that were incoherent (e.g., A1B2, A2B1). Then, rule-following was measured in a preference test in which the participant would have to choose which of the two speakers would provide instructions in each test trial. Results show that the participants preferred the coherent speaker to provide instructions and followed the rules presented by that speaker throughout the test. Coherence is discussed as a critical aspect of rule following and preference for particular narratives.
Healthy selfing: Theoretically optimal environments for the development of tacting and deictic relational responding
Authors: Stapleton Alison , McHugh Louise
Published: May 2021

From a relational frame theory perspective, our sense of self is a by-product of language that arises from transformation of stimulus functions through relational framing of our own responding. In this way, selfing is an important action that allows us to clarify our needs, wants, and what matters to us. Tacting and deictic relational responding are two processes that are instrumental to the development of a healthy selfing repertoire. This paper provides an overview of tacting and deictic relational responding in accordance with relational frame theory in addition to features of an optimal environment for shaping these processes. In terms of tacting, it is important to consider learning environment sensitivity, consequence availability, the individual’s experience, and to facilitate rich discussions of private events. In terms of deictic relational responding, it is important to provide frequent interactions that contain multiple exemplars of distinctions between self and others in addition to rich discussions of private events while also tailoring to the individual when drawing from training protocols. We conclude with a brief overview of the current evidence base regarding the identified features.
