Investigating Issues in Computing Education: Usability Factors for the Use of an Operating System Among African American and Hispanic American High School Students
Authors: Estrada Gabriel , Dawson Maurice , Cárdenas-Haro Jose Antonio
Published: August 2019

African Americans and Hispanic Americans historically have been underrepresented in U.S. jobs in the fields of STEM in large part because of the usability of technology. In this research, the goal was to discover the usability factors relative to operating systems that may limit African Americans and Hispanic Americans from pursuit of computer science higher education. For the purpose of this study, “usability” refers to the “appropriateness of purpose.” Categorized by three factors, appropriateness of purpose can be defined as (i) the effectiveness of the users’ ability to complete tasks while using technology and the quality or output of those tasks, (ii) the efficiency and the level of resources used in performing tasks, and (iii) the satisfaction or users’ reaction to the use of technology (Brooke, 2014). This research examined quantitative analysis based on students’ routine computer task knowledge using a survey questionnaire and the SUS. The population included high school students responding to questions on common tasks and usability. A web survey was conducted to assess the measurement and understanding pattern demonstrated by the participants. The quantitative analysis of the computer usability included ANOVA, independent t-tests and orthogonal contrasts. The analysis of the SUS measured usability and learnability. The results of the data analysis showed that the combined African American and Hispanic group has a mean computer usability score that is significantly lower when compared with the other ethnicities and the SUS findings included the highest gap among this most underrepresented group in the STEM field.

Researching Baltic security challenges after the annexation of Crimea
Authors: Veebel Viljar
Published: August 2019

The article aims to provide an insight into academic and military studies that investigate security challenges in the Baltic region after the annexation of Crimea. To do this in a systematic way, numerous academic and military studies and analyses in this field are divided into six broad categories: literature on conventional threat scenarios in the Baltic region; studies on nuclear escalation scenarios; publications that describe Russian viewpoints in the current confrontation with the West; studies that discuss security policy and security perceptions of the Baltic countries and the national security models of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; studies on anti-access and area denial; and articles that analyse the dilemmas and challenges in association with understanding the essence of deterrence in the context of modern hybrid warfare and the build-up of a viable deterrence model in the Baltic region. In total, about 40 publications from the period between 2014 and 2019 are represented in this article. While some studies are already well known, others have undeservedly remained somewhat overlooked. This article attempts to correct this by highlighting and comparing the results of the most interesting and intriguing studies in this field. Through this, the author strived to maintain a balance between studies conducted both by military experts and by academics.
TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 Serum Concentrations as Diagnostic Biomarkers of Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression
Authors: Pertseva Natalia , Borysova Inna , Chub Daria
Published: August 2019

Background and aims: Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and vascular adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) have been proposed as promising biomarkers for multiple diseases. TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 are reported to be associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and end stage renal disease in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM).

Material and methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of circulating TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 and to assess their potential as a blood-based biomarker for DKD in T1DM and T2DM patients.

Results:. The study included 124 participants: 66 patients with T1DM, 58 with T2DM and 20 healthy controls. The diabetic patients were classified according to the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). First group - eGFR ≥90ml/min/1.73 m2 (n=39), second group eGFR 89-60 ml/min/1.73m2 (n=45), and third group eGFR 59-45 ml/min/1.73m2 (n=40). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of was used to evaluate blood TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 expression. It was found that there were higher TGF-β1 and VCAM-1 in all diabetic patients compared with healthy controls (P<0.05). TGF- β1 and VCAM-1 were higher in group with eGFR ≥90ml/min/1.73 m2 and gradually increased in the groups with eGFR89-60 ml/min/1.73m2 and eGFR 59-45 ml/min/1.73m2. TGF- β1 and VCAM-1 were less in T1DM, than T2DM in all study groups. Regression analysis revealed reverse associations between TGF- β1, VCAM-1 and eGFR (P<0.05). TGF- β1 and VCAM-1 correlated positively with albuminuria and negatively with renal function.

Conclusion: In discriminating overall patients from healthy subjects, ROC analysis revealed areas under the curve (AUCs) of 1,0 for TGF- β1 for T1DM and T2DM, VCAM-1 0,866 for T1DM, 0,923 for T2DM (P<0.001). The results suggested that blood-based TGF- β1 and VCAM-1 may serve as potential biomarkers for early detection of DKD.
Development of Predictive Models for Identifying Potential S100A9 Inhibitors Based on Machine Learning Methods
Authors: Lee Jihyeun , Kumar Surendra , Lee Sang-Yoon , Park Sung Jean , Kim Mi-hyun
Published: August 2019

S100A9 is a potential therapeutic target for various disease including prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. However, the sparsity of atomic level data such as protein-protein interaction of S100A9 with MD2/TLR4/CD147 makes rational drug design of S100A9 inhibitors more challengeable. Herein we firstly report predictive models of S100A9 inhibitory effect by applying machine learning classifiers on 2D-molecular descriptors. The models were optimized through feature selectors as well as classifiers to produce the top eight random forest models with robust predictability as well as high cost-effectiveness. Notably, the optimal feature sets were obtained after the reduction of 2798 features into dozens of features with the chopping of fingerprint bits. In addition, the high efficiency of compact feature sets allowed us to further screen a large-scale dataset (over 6,000,000 compounds) within a week. Through the consensus vote of the top models, 46 hits (hit rate = 0.000713%) were identified as potential S100A9 inhibitors. We expect that our models will facilitate the drug discovery process by providing high predictive power as well as cost-reduction ability and give insights into the design of the novel drugs targeting S100A9.

Kidney tumor detection and classification using image processing
Authors: Rohith V  , Simmi  , Ramya N
Published: August 2019

Kidney cancer is a disorder where the cells of the kidney become abnormal and develop into a tumor. It is also referred to as renal cell carcinoma. The detection of kidney tumor in the early stages is very important; it is said that different imaging techniques can help doctors to decide the cancer stage and determine the appropriate treatment method. The detection and diagnosis of kidney tumors are performed by scanning images of computed tomography. Most existing works in renal kidney cancer is detection and diagnosis of the existence or absence of tumor in the kidney and classify the tumor as harmless or malevolent. The fundamental goal of this paper is to propose a strategy that will characterize the type of cells present in the kidney tumor. This can be accomplished through methods like segmentation, feature extraction using GLCM and classification using multiSVM.

As redes editoriais do ILARI no Rio da Prata e a modernização das ciências sociais durante a Guerra Fria cultural latino-americana
Authors: Jannello Karina , Muniz Jr. Jose
Published: August 2019

O Instituto Latino-Americano de Relações Internacionais (ILARI), financiado pela Fundação Ford e vinculado ao controverso Congresso pela Liberdade da Cultura (CLC), estimulou desde seu início, em 1965, a renovação das ciências sociais na América Latina por meio de encontros e pesquisas, bem como da publicação da revista Aportes e de acordos com editoras locais – como Paidós e Jorge Álvares, de Buenos Aires, e Alfa, de Montevidéu. Este trabalho aborda as políticas editoriais do ILARI, que se transformaram em um canal de legitimação e promoção da figura do cientista social, cuja emergência deve ser compreendida no marco da Guerra Fria cultural, marcada pelos debates sobre as possíveis vias de desenvolvimento das sociedades periféricas. Essa figura, que acaba por suplantar a do ensaísta e disputa espaço com as do intelectual comprometido e do intelectual revolucionário, aparece legitimada por um discurso sobre a modernização, associado a uma produção “objetiva” de saberes.
A relação entre razão e história na modernidade
Authors: Couto Bruno Gontyjo do
Published: August 2019

Em meio a diferentes usos possíveis, o termo “modernidade” já foi empregado no sentido de designar a “mentalidade de uma época” que, dentre outras coisas, teria como uma de suas principais marcas a crença no conhecimento como forma de domínio da natureza e do fluxo histórico e, assim sendo, uma ferramenta de emancipação do homem. Trata-se de uma conjuntura na qual se pregava o triunfo da razão sobre o devir, uma forma de compreensão social crente na proeminência da razão sobre o mundo, sugerindo um nexo específico entre razão e história que aqui será problematizado. Posto isso, este ensaio pretende realizar um itinerário bibliográfico voltado para a apreensão dos saberes sociológicos que estiveram envolvidos com esse tema. Mais especificamente, objetiva realizar uma exegese a partir dos trabalhos de Georg Simmel, Max Weber e Norbert Elias, tomando esses trabalhos não só como modos de interpretação por meio dos quais o nexo entre razão e história tornou-se sociologicamente “inteligível”, mas, sobretudo, como modos de compreensão social que informam consciências e que, na medida em que o fazem, participam da constituição do mesmo nexo.

entulho e silêncio
Authors: Rodrigues Jéssyca Oliveira
Published: August 2019

A série denominada “entulho e silêncio” são retratos do lixo hospitalar, mas veja bem, não se trata da evidenciação de uma reciclagem dos detritos ou de sua transformação em algo belo ou sublime. Os objetos, bem como o próprio espaço, graças à plasticidade evidenciada pelas lentes da câmera, convertem-se em obras imagéticas nas quais a precariedade, o abandono e a feiura tornam-se capazes de focar o ser humano. A estratégia do choque é uma parte importante do processo, assim como o enlevo pelo qual só a arte é capaz de conduzir-nos. Aquele local do lixo hospitalar integra-se como parte de uma metonímia dos restos da sociedade e, ao rompemos a confortável segurança do lugar comum permitiremos à nossa mente pairar em ciclos de imersão e emersão nesta experiência.

É na densidade desse duplo silêncio que as coisas vistas podem finalmente ser ouvidas.....

e ouvidas apenas pelo fato de serem vistas.

The purpose of article writing is to find out the impact of modernization on lifestyle in some Muslim societies that have a tendency to ignore the parameters of religion (Islam) in terms of consuming a food / beverage, medicine, even cosmetics product. The research method used is library research. The result of the analysis is that anything consumed in an Islamic perspective has implications for mental health. this is where awareness is needed that when Allah SWT. has given signs about halal and haram for food or drink, so there is a wisdom behind the provisions of Allah. In the context of normative law in Indonesia, halal standardization has also been strengthened by the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 33 of 2014 concerning Guarantee of Halal Products as a whole to all levels of society. In addition, the Government has also formed a body called the Halal Product Guarantee Agency which has the duty to hold a Halal Product Guarantee. This shows that the Government is also very concerned about the needs of its citizens in meeting the consumption of all products with halal standards.

Evaluation of Local and Systemic Levels of Vitamin D3 and Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 After Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Authors: Ghalwash Dalia M. , Shaker Olfat G. , Mahmoud Enji A.
Published: August 2019

Background: Vitamin D is an important micronutrient possessing valuable and diverse biological effects that are related to periodontal disease pathogenesis. Vitamin D levels are regulated by fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) which is strongly associated with inflammation. The aim of the present study was to explore the relation of vitamin D and FGF23 with periodontal disease through the assessment of their levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum in periodontitis patients before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy and to compare those levels with healthy controls in order to identify any possible correlation between them. Methods: Serum and GCF samples were collected at baseline and 3 months after therapy to evaluate levels of vitamin D3 and FGF23 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in both study groups. Group I consisted of 15 controls who were systematically and periodontally healthy, while group II consisted of 15 subjects who were systematically healthy with stage II periodontitis. Results: A significant elevation in vitamin D3 levels in both GCF and serum were recorded 3 months after therapy with a 25.98% and 39.29% increase respectively. On the contrary, a significant reduction in mean values of FGF23 in both GCF and serum were found after treatment with a 49.75% and 39.28% decrease respectively. Conclusion: The results of the present investigation have shed light on a vital association of both FGF23 and vitamin D3 with periodontitis, where FGF23 is associated with periodontal inflammation and vitamin D3 is associated with periodontal health.
PERCEPTUAL SIGNS IN THE STRUCTURE OF DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS OF BEVERAGES (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF UKRAINIAN, RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES)
Authors: Zhuikova M. , Yodlovska A.
Published: August 2019

Particular attention in linguistics is given to ways of expressing a person’s sensory perception of the world and studying the means of linguistic actualization of this process by identifying the most typical linguistic structures and models. The perceptive sign is an important component of the interpretation, because a person gains knowledge about the world through his perception with the help of the senses. The article compares the verbal description of drinks in dictionaries of different languages, which includes the inserting of perceptual characteristics in the definition and the ratio of perceptual characteristics in the structure of definitions. We have investigated that a perceptual sign helps to identify more precisely the object being described and how it is presented in the dictionaries. The words from the thematic group “drinks” explode the sensory perceptions which are received through the perceptual channels of sensation (sight, taste, smell and hearing).

In our opinion, the study of the means of verbalization of perceptual features, as well as their status in the definitions of lexeme, is important because of the anthropocentric orientation of modern linguistics.
Storytelling in English-language anti-trafficking campaign: a cognitive perspective
Authors: Палійчук Е. О.
Published: August 2019

The paper focuses on verbal and cognitive aspects of “storytelling” used as a special technique in electronic media messages in the course of social campaigns against human trafficking aimed at raising awareness and competence across vulnerable categories of target audiences. Specifically, there was analysed the cognitive background of the narrative elements employed in the English-language media texts, with major actants of the “human trafficking” conceptual situation distinguished.

Based on the outcomes of preliminary groundwork, particularly, on mapping of the conceptual fields of the actants, there were established such properties of the “human trafficking” cognitive construal as iconicity, metaphoricity, visuality, and sensoriality.

The shaped narrative model activates its iconicity as a cognitive property in manifestation of the “cobweb-like” construal, with zooming on the image of “victim” as a main character, which is inside the “human trafficking” conceptual model marked with centripetal relations towards “victim” and interrelated links between the conceptual fields of other actants as participants of the situation.

Metaphoricity as a property of the said narrative model manifests in mapping of the biological and social domains based on similarity of their components. Therefore, “trafficker” correlates with the image of “spider” within the situation of human trafficking, whereas “victim” gets entrapped into its net”. The metaphors used in narrative components of a media message shape visual images which correlated with the “cobweb-lie” construal based on combinations of image-schemas.

Sensoriality as a cognitive property of the narrative model manifests through the vial narrative, where plot components reproduce the “cobweb-like construal” embedded therein. The visual representation of the “human trafficking” model is also enhanced due to tactile and aural images accompanying narration and realized at verbal level in media messages.

The outcome of the paper is establishment of a comprehensive narrative model specific to the objectives of raising awareness among vulnerable categories of target audience, with due account of the plot features within its scenario and cognitive properties that predetermine efficiency of the social campaign on the social concern in question.
Lexical-semantic means of expressing the attitude of the subject of speech to objective reality in the literary-critical discourse
Authors: Сташкевич І. А.
Published: August 2019

The article touches upon means of expressing the objectivity and subjectivity of evaluation in literary-critical discourse. We establish those nominative and communicative language items ranging from word to text that perform the function of evaluation expression and forming complex structures serving to convey additional axiological nuances. In our article, we relied on the structural components of evaluation: the subject of evaluation, that is, the person (or socium); object of evaluation — a thing or phenomenon; estimated predicate; the nature of the assessment (or the scale of assessment); estimated stereotype and assessment of motivation. We found out that the main function of the semantic-stylistic category of evaluation is the expression of the attitude of the subject of speech to the objective reality during the communication. Studing the lexical-semantic expression system in the literary-critical discourse and analyzing axiologically-tagged lexemes, we found out that all lexemes can be divided into two groups: with general and partial value. After a comprehensive analysis, an attempt is made to differentiate between the means of expressing objectivity and subjectivity represented by the author’s assessment.
“The ancient sad melody”: the formation of the “fin’amor” code in “The Romance of Tristan and Iseult”
Authors: Боговін О. В.
Published: August 2019

Under the code we understand the system of signs and rules of their ordering, characterized by interpretive stability for centuries, which is fixed in the texts of culture and retains the communicative potential. Therefore, the «fin’amor» code is somehow organized by the dominant characteristics of courtly aesthetics of the Middle Ages, which arose as a result of existence in medieval Europe of a legend about unhappy love known as «The Romance of Tristan and Iseult».

The purpose of our article is to clarify the essence and specifics of the quintessential fin’amor code as a theoretical and literary concept, semantically formed on the basis of medieval tales about Tristan and Iseult.

«The Romance of Tristan and Iseult» contains the formal elements of the 11th century love novel at all levels of the text. Fundamentally new element is the presence of specific internal conflict. The love of Tristan and Iseult is a mutual unhappy love — «fin’amor», the leading code of courtly culture. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the love-for-suffering, which corresponds the essence of Christian asceticism. An important aspect is the intensity of the feelings of Tristan and Iseult: their love is strong as death and even stronger than death.

The formation of the fin’amor courtly code in «The Romance of Tristan and Iseult» preceded a significant preparatory period, when the structural elements, scattered from different sources, gradually coalesced into a single system of signs, which in the 12 century within the courtier life of the higher aristocrats becomes a classical interpretation of the semantic shades, that is, the rules of ordering. The essence of this code is mutual unlucky love, and the specific signs are the emphasis on suffering and gravity to death. Transforming for centuries «fin’amor» cultural code retains interpretative stability and communicative potential. Adhere to the system of axiological dominants of one or another of the next era, entering into a dialogue, the «fin’amor» code accumulates each time a paradigm of the courtly aesthetics values, concentrated in «The Romance of Tristan and Iseult», «the ancient sad melodies» about love and death.
THE SYNTACTIC STATUS OF OBLIQUE SUBJECT IN GERMANIC LANGUAGES
Authors: Zinchenko H.
Published: August 2019

The article focuses on the approaches to defining and analysing the syntactic properties of oblique noun phrases in Germanic languages. Two contrasting viewpoints on the syntactic status of oblique subject-like NPs have been presented, and the following set of subjecthood tests that aim at distinguishing oblique subjects and objects has been reviewed: syntactic position, conjunction reduction, reflexivisation, raising, and pro-infinitive. Subjecthood tests do not prove to be utterly conclusive, which is determined by the language or the stage of its development.
