Lengthy Prison Term as a Psychological Issue in the Penal System of the Russian Federation
Authors: SUSLOV YURII E.
Published: May 2021

Introduction: the paper analyzes scientific data related to the definition of the phenomenon “lengthy prison term” and demonstrates a relative and conditional nature of this phenomenon. Available scientific research findings in this area suggest that the duration of serving a sentence is an exclusively subjective measure for various criminals. Goal: to identify the impact of the length of prison sentences on convicts in the context of their reformation. Methods: we use general scientific research methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization). The work is based on the results derived from the analysis of relevant foreign and domestic studies. Results: by analyzing the influence of specific features inherent in correctional institutions, we reveal the following inconsistency: custodial sentences and lengthy prison terms contribute to the adaptation of convicts to prison conditions, development of negative changes in their personality, destructive conduct, etc. In addition, prolonged stay in a correctional institution reduces the impact of major means of reformation such as prison regime, educational work, and socially useful work. Conclusions: when determining the length of prison term, it is necessary to proceed not so much from the nature and degree of public danger of the act, but from individual features of the criminal’s personality, their social environment, and the motive for the crime committed. It is necessary to abandon the quantitative approach to determining the mea sure of punishment expressed in the length of the prison term.
Key words: lengthy prison term; serving a sentence; correctional institutions; crime; convicts; reformation; punishment; penal system of the Russian Federation; isolation conditions.

Authors: BEHREM Sedat
Published: May 2021

Small ruminants are important contributors of food supply chains throughout the world. In this study, characterization of distributions of birth weight, weaning weight, average daily gain and Kleiber ratio as well as estimation of effects of certain environmental factors on these traits were aimed in Akkaraman sheep raised around Çankırı province. For this purpose, the linear mixed model was fitted to estimate the effect of factors and to obtain the least square means for the traits. The effect of all studied fixed factors on birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily weight gain (ADWG) and Kleiber ratio (KR) were found to be significant. The male lambs have more BW and WW than female lambs. The least square mean of ADWG for female lambs was found higher than male lambs. Additionally, the least square mean of the pre-weaning growth traits of single-born lambs were found to be higher than that of twin-born lambs. The birth weights of lambs born in January and February were higher than March. In general, the study reported that pre-weaning growth traits were affected by several environmental factors, which can be used for herd management practices aiming for higher productivity in Akkaraman sheep.

The freezing and storage of the sperm are used cryopreservation of germplasm in livestock breeding, genetic improvement of indigenous species, preservation of rare races, successful tolerance to environmental changes and international germplasm exchanges. Both the freezing and thawing process causes large changes in the volume of the cell fluid. Spermatozoon removes most of its cytoplasm at differentiation stages and lacks the cytoplasmic component that contains antioxidants that counteract the harmful effect of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. Therefore, the sensitivity of spermatozoa to lipid peroxidation increases during the freezing and thawing of the sperm, which creates a significant mechanical stress on the cell membrane. Oxidative stress is caused by oxygen and oxygen-derived oxidants, commonly known as ROS, and is known as an imbalance between the ability of biological systems to easily detoxify or repair damaged reagents. Uncontrolled ROS production, which exceeds the antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma, causes oxidative stress that is harmful to spermatozoa. All cellular components, including lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and sugars, are potential targets of oxidative stress. Antioxidants control the chemical degradation of the substrate caused by oxidation, neutralizing free radicals, thereby it is used to minimize the risk of damage to spermatozoa during cryopreservation.
Re-entry Policy Implementation Effectiveness
Authors: Muyunda Gift
Published: May 2021

The overall purpose of this study was from an educational management perspective to explore the effectiveness of the re-entry policy implementation in public schools in Lusaka District, Zambia, and highlight the missing links between the stipulated re-entry policy of 1997 and the actual practice on the ground in terms of its implementation in secondary schools. This study was qualitative and employed a case study approach, and standard open-ended interviews were used to obtain data from the district education officers, headteachers, teachers, and parents to teen mothers. The study's findings imply that the re-entry policy implementation in the selected secondary schools is not practical to a high degree. The study findings further indicated that the policy is silent, and there is no awareness of the policy in secondary schools due to unclear policy goals and objectives. The study findings also indicated no sense of ownership of the policy by stakeholders responsible for implementing the policy. Further, the study concluded that secondary schools' policy implementation is not practical because there are no clear stated objectives, implementation and monitoring strategies, financial, human, and legal resources. Hence, this study recommended that the Ministry of General Education redesign the policy, including all stakeholders in the formulation process, and clearly state its goals and objectives to ensure future successful implementation.
On Women of Rido: A Film Analysis of “Women of The Weeping River” by Sheron Dayoc (2016) Through the Lens of Hamm-Ehsani, Wang, Feldman, and Hsu
Authors:   De La Salle University Senior High School Department, Jacinto Daniela Regina V.
Published: May 2021

Several films today include the narratives of Muslim communities. Due to the vast array of movies on the subject, Muslim communities’ representation has opened many representations and interpretations, whether positive or negative. The independent film “Women of the Weeping River” (WOTWR), by Sheron Dayoc, is one of the many indie films in the Philippines that includes the Muslim community. Using the lenses of Stuart Hall (1997) “Theory of Representation,” the researchers focused on how producers utilize elements of the film in crafting their representations towards cultural groups. This study focuses on this film to elaborate the potential of independent cinema in terms of minorities and highlight social issues. In the case of WOTWR, the study also emphasizes how the Muslim community throughout the film also portrays Islamic women and the film’s influence regarding the formation of viewers’ perspectives towards the selected cultural group. Through an analysis of WOTWR, this study also aims to discuss how indie films can break away and are capable of breaking away and alluding to mainstream cinema milestones. Several frameworks like Yihan Wang’s “Ethnic Boundary and Literature/Image Representation,” Mark B. Feldman and Hsuan L. Hsu’s “Introduction: Race, Environment, and Representation,” and Karin Hamm-Ehsani’s “Intersections: Issues of National, Ethnic, and Sexual Identity in Kutlug Ataman’s Berlin Film Lola und Bilidikid,” were utilized in close reading, providing the reader with several perspectives. The study proved that independent film such as WOTWR is a powerful tool when it comes to representation because of having the privilege of autonomy.

Learning second language is a challenging task if the learning is concerned with the vocabulary, grammar, and other skills of L2. The teachers try hard to help and guide the learners to improve the learning process. Globally the same problem exists about the L2. Pakistan is country where L2 learning is difficult for both teachers and students. The results of this study show the same problem and the main reason are the traditional methodologies which are used for teaching. The researcher has selected educational games through the teachers of intermediate level of Sargodha, Pakistan in which they teach English as a subject. The hypotheses show that teaching through games can be more effective. Through quantitative procedure data has been collected from teachers who are teaching English at the elementary level. The research shows the process of using language games and the help which pupils may receive from games. The results of the research show that using games for language teaching are effective for learning vocabulary. However, games should be integrated with proper guideline because difficulties are shown in the research findings such as noise and disturbance in the classroom. It has resulted that language games are effective for learning L2 and teachers should need to integrate language games with other activities in the classroom because students are motivated and learn the language effectively.

Published: May 2021

This study measures the economic impacts and constraints of parental imprisonment over the left-behind children in the District Lower Dir in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The data is collected through the interview schedule prepared in accordance with the Sekaran table (2003) of the standard sample size using the Chi-square test. The findings of the study show a highly significant association between parental imprisonment and their children having difficulty managed their expenses. Similarly, results show a significant association between parental imprisonment and their children’s interest in cellular phones and luxurious equipment and facilities. Additionally, the analysis shows that due to lack of proper supervision, there is a significant association between parental imprisonment and their children’s misuse of the daily expenses of the household. Likewise, the data shows a highly significant association of these children with a lazy attitude toward income generation for the livelihood of their family. Similarly, the assessment shows a significant association of these children having produced economic needs in an illegal method. Furthermore, a highly significant association is found in children of imprisoned parents having a financial background from the middle class thus waste a lot of money in parties and other gatherings with friends.

Published: May 2021

Objective – to study the complications of open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) in patients who underwent this surgery in the V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology.Materials and methods. The study included 43 patients (46 knee joints) with primary and secondary OA of the knee of I–III stages, who underwent OWHTO in the period from 2005 to 2019. The operation was performed according to the standard technique using short spacer plates (Puddu I (5 times) and II generation (24 times), Osteomed (17 times)) and bone grafting. The identified OWHTO specific complications were divided into those related to the osteotomy, fixation, and bone grafting. To assess the result, we studied the change in pain according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), as well as the functional and objective state of the knee according to the Knee Society Score (KSS) before surgery, after 3 months and 1 year after surgery.Results. In 15 (32.7%) cases have been diagnosed 26 complications. Of these, 21 (81.0%) were associated with fixation, 2 (7.7%) with the osteotomy 2 (7.7%) with bone grafting of the osteotomy gap, and 1 (3.6%) a local complication. Patients without complications had a statistically significantly better decrease in pain intensity according to VAS (p=0.0005), and an improvement in the total score of KSS (p=0.0023) one year after surgery. Outcomes were also better in patients without complications: 96.7% excellent and good results versus 60.0% in patients with complications one year after OWHTO. In total, we had 43.5% excellent, 41.3% good and 15.2% satisfactory results one year after surgery.Conclusions. OWHTO is a highly effective method of surgical treatment of the osteoarthritis of the knee, which allows to obtain an excellent and good treatment result in 84.8% of cases one year after surgery. Performing OWHTO with fixing the height of the osteotomy gap using short spacer plates and bone grafting in 32.7% of cases is associated with the development of complications. To improve the results of OWHTO, it is necessary to improve the surgical technique and fixator.

Homens, masculinidades e saúde: uma reflexão de gênero na perspectiva histórica
Authors: Pinheiro Thiago Félix , Couto Márcia Thereza
Published: May 2021

Historicamente, a forma de conceber homens e mulheres na cultura ocidental foi marcada por diferenças e desigualdades tanto conceituais quanto sociais e políticas. Nesse percurso, as mulheres foram submetidas à opressão social e a um processo de medicalização de seu corpo e sexualidade. Em reação, o movimento feminista protestou contra tal submissão e, no intuito de construir uma concepção crítica do feminino, lançou mão da abordagem de gênero como categoria capaz de abranger as características que as concepções de sexo não davam conta. Os homens, por sua vez, permaneceram a maior parte do tempo como o parâmetro normativo de um “modelo natural” e só nas últimas décadas passaram a ser abordados em suas especificidades, sob a ótica de gênero e da construção das masculinidades. O lugar do masculino, portanto, apresenta paradoxos relacionados ao espaço socialmente privilegiado, ao lugar que ocupa na produção de conhecimento em saúde e à atenção que recebe na assistência.

Um tratamento de choque: a aplicação da malarioterapia no Hospital do Juquery (1925 – 1940)
Authors: Tarelow Gustavo Querodia
Published: May 2021

O presente trabalho analisa o processo de consolidação da Malarioterapia como uma terapêutica específica e legitimada, conferindo maior credibilidade à Psiquiatria que, no período em questão, buscava a sua consolidação entre as práticas médicas. Para tanto, busca traçar um quadro geral sobre a Psiquiatria paulista e sobre as intervenções terapêuticas que eram aplicadas nos pacientes do Hospital do Juquery, para, desta forma, elucidar as razões que levaram os psiquiatras, sobretudo o diretor daquele estabelecimento, Dr. A.C. Pacheco e Silva, a optar pelo uso deste método, incipiente até então. Assim, demonstra que o modelo de intervenção inaugurado pela Malarioterapia, ou seja, a do “choque humoral”, se tornou a base para as terapias desenvolvidas posteriormente, conhecidas como “terapias biológicas”, como a convulsoterapia e os comas induzidos, por exemplo.

Authors: Mishra Anjay Kumar , Kandel Deepak Raj , Aithal P. S.
Published: May 2021

Purpose: Banking in Nepal is under the process of being systematized. Foreign aid is believed as key component for development in Nepal. This study aims to assess the impact, contribution and relationship of size, loans and deposit, inflation and capital on the profitability of the banks.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary data from 2013 to 2019 from seven commercial banks along with the survey as primary data were collected. The correlation and regression along with ratio analysis have been used to assure a contributory association among return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and net interest margin (NIM).
Findings/Result: The size of banks is in increasing trend. The decreasing trend of standard deviation showed that the size of Nepalese commercial banks has lower variation in the use of total assets as the year increases. There is a negative relation between ROA and ROE with loan ratio, deposit ratio and capital ratio, while there is positive relation with bank size and inflation. However, in case of NIM, bank size, loan ratio, deposit ratio and inflation exhibit a positive relation while the capital ratio shows the negative relationship with NIM. Majority of the respondents feel that the publication of financial reports is one of the major influencing factors of bank profitability.
Originality/Value: It is an empirical research to signify the contribution of Bank Size, Loan
Ration, Deposit Ratio, Capital Ratio and Inflation as determinants of Profitability.
Paper Type: Analytical Business Research.

MONITORING OF CONSUMER SATISFACTION OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN THE SYSTEM OF THE ADDITIONAL ADULT EDUCATION
Authors: Mikhailova Natalya
Published: May 2021

Consumer orientation is an important aspect of creating and functioning of quality management system of the educational establishment. However, monitoring of consumer satisfaction in the system of the additional adult education requires certain conceptual and technological development projects. A synthesizing of existing approaches for monitoring allowed us to make the model approximation of monitoring consumer satisfaction of educational services of the Institute for Professional Skills Upgrading and Retraining. It determines aim and functions of the monitoring, its object and subjects, the content, structure, etc. Then content monitoring is determined on the basis of several criteria and indicators for evaluating consumer satisfaction, characterizing consumer perception of the Institute. Monitoring of listeners of training satisfaction, courses for skills upgrading for managers and professionals, the training courses (including working trades), as well as employers is included to the structure. Diagnostic materials are developed for each type of monitoring. Questionnaires contain questions assessed by nominal and point scale. We have identified six stages in the developed technology of monitoring and consumer satisfaction evaluations of educational services of the Institute: organizational-preparatory, questionnaires, and analysis of incoming documents, data processing, analytical, synthesis, reflective. The automation of the procedure of monitoring has allowed to reduce time and efforts. The program «Questionnaire» was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. The examples of the analysis of monitoring results (dynamics of motives, reasons for satisfaction specialty retraining, choice of the most effective forms of organization of educational work and other; 2005-2011; 826 respondents) reflect the possible impact of monitoring on the management of educational process in the system of additional adult education.
Key words: adult education, educational services, monitoring of consumer satisfaction, con-tent monitoring, technology of monitoring, analysis of monitoring results.

SCIENCE ON SCIENCE IN LITHUANIA: INTRODUCING A MONOGRAPH „SCIENTOMETRICS“ BY ONA VOVERIENĖ
Authors: Railienė Birutė
Published: May 2021

The topic of citation, input by country and other scientometrical indicators are widely discussed by Lithuanian scholars, though academic librarians still recall the questions about impact factors and “which are THE journals” to send the articles to, and so to obtain the required scores for the scientific certification. The scientometrical ideas become more popu-lar in Lithuania when “Social functions of science” (1939) by John Desmond Bernal (1901–1970) in 1965 and one year later – a “Little science. Big science” (1963) by Derek John de Solla Price (1922–1983) were translated to Russian language (they were almost unavailable in the original language for scholars in Soviet Union). These world famous monographs were followed by other monographs in scientometrics by soviet scholars, subject of scientometrics discussed at conferences and journal articles. “Scientometrics” was the first article (1969) published in a popular journal Mokslas ir technika by Stasys Poškus. The role of Lithuanian institute of Information science and the board of “Kibernetics” at the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences were outstanding in this field during early 60’ies. Lithuanian scholars were inves-tigating citation impact on science development and information service, information theo-ry, connection between scientometrics and history of science, etc.
The scientific school of scientometricians in Lithuania was raised by Ona Voverienė, a famous professor of Vilnius University. O. Voverienė worked as an information officer at the company of chemical industry, investigated information theory, extended the investiga-tion of scientific communities in Lithuania. The science on science policy, main achieve-ments and personal structure of Lithuanian scholarship were presented in a trilogy: “Biblio-mertrija” (Bibliometrics, 1999), “Mokslinės mokyklos Lietuvoje” (Scientific schools in Lith-uanian, with co-authors, 2002) and “Žymieji 20-jojo amžiaus Lietuvos mokslininkai” (Fa-mous Lithuanian scholars in 20th century, 2009). O. Voverienė encouraged a “Bibliometrical seminar” for problems of information theory and bibliometrical investigations (1999–2001 at the Wrobelwski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences), though professor’s idea to establish a centre for Scientometrics is still unaccomplished.
The history of scientometrics (the former term „science on science“ is considered as outdated in the scholarly writings in English language, though in some other languages it is still well accepted) from both historical and regional perspective is presented in the latest monograph „Mokslotyra“* (2013) by professor Ona Voverienė. The contents cover devel-opment of scientometrics in East Europe and Lithuania, theory and methodology are doc-umented using the literature analysis.

Published: May 2021

Bangladesh is one of the largest tobacco users in the world being troubled by smoking related issues. In this paper we consider a compartmental mathematical model of smoking in which the population is divided into five compartments: susceptible, expose, smokers, temporary quitters and permanent quitters described by ordinary differential equations. We study by including the conversion rate from light smoker to permanent quit smokers. The basic reproduction number R0 has been derived and then we found two euilibria of the model one of them is smoking-free and other of them is smoking-present. We establish the positivity, boundedness of the solutions and perform stability analysis of the model. To decrease the smoking propensity in Bangladesh we perform numerical simulation for various estimations of parameters which offer understanding to give up smoking and how they influence the smoker and exposed class. This model gives us legitimate thought regarding the explanations for the spread of smoking in Bangladesh.

The relationship between the learning styles and academic performance was correlated as well as the relationship between motivation to learn and academic performance. The findings of the study served as bases for a proposed plan. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational design using the quantitative approach of research. It described, measured and interpreted the gathered data to provide answer to the sub problem. The method showed a descriptive task presenting the level of learning styles, motivation to learn and how the two affect the academic performance of the pupils. The result involved varied information regarding the present situations in the class. This also surveyed and assessed the data collected to come up with programs that are vital to the educational needs of the new generations of pupils. The study primarily involved the Grade Five pupils with different learning styles, motivation to learn and academic performance. The participants were the thirty seven (37) pupils of Juaton Elementary School that were under the advisory of the researcher. Purposive sampling was used to determine the target respondents in schools. The Grade Five pupils scored very high in visual and auditory learning styles while low in verbal and kinaesthetic learning styles. The overall mean of the four learning styles is high. The mean of their level of motivation is high. Their academic performance is satisfactory.

The Philippines is prone typhoons due to its geographical location. The municipalities of Los Baños and Bay in the province of Laguna are highly flood-prone due to their proximity to Laguna de Bay or Laguna Lake. Large areas of Bay fall within the watersheds of Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR) which are tributaries to the lake. The back flow of water into the trubutaries during heavy rainfall can cause flooding and result to socio-economic and physical impacts. The study aims to: determine the association of typhoon awareness, mitigation practices, and resilience practices with the socio-economic and socio-demographic profile of Barangay (village) Santo Domingo residents; generate a Flood Susceptibility Map, map the designated evacuation sites using Geographic Information System (GIS); and provide recommendations to promote awareness and reduce the impacts of typhoon. Ninety-six households were selected randomly based on the sampling design with 95% confidentiality. Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and Socio-economic surveys (SES) were also conducted. STATA ver. 12 and Fisher’s exact test were used to evaluate the significance of the socio-economic and socio-demographic components in relationship to awareness, mitigation, and resilience. Barangay Santo Domingo has high level of awareness (0.9647), high level of mitigation practices (0.8303) and high level of resilience (0.8842). The monthly income of respondents has a strong correlation with mitigation practices while house ownership signifies moderate association to resilience practices. Chi-square test of independence showed that there is no significant difference among the puroks (zones within the barangay). Based on the generated Flood Susceptibility Map, majority of the land area (197.23 hectares) of Barangay Santo Domingo belongs to the high susceptibility category which led to the identification of six evacuation sites. Awareness is necessary for disaster preparedness. Effective planning and management are essential to increase awareness and reduce the detrimental effects of flooding.

The numbers of road accidents are increasing worldwide day by day and most of them are due to human errors including rash driving, carelessness and mishandling. Also the traffic is a big problem in the world. This problem can only be handled by driver less car. The motive is to develop a robo-car that drives without a driver on lanes. It should follow the lane lines on particular track and turn according to the lane. It should contain feature to turn left and right and must take U-turn after detecting end of lane. This can be done by constructing a set of hardware that enables image processing. Algorithms are applied on the fly i.e. image processing is done on real time data. The pollution caused by traffic is enormous and environment is affected adversely. The pollutants release by cars is very minute. The traffic and pollution affect us badly and waste our time and it is very inconvenient. Thus we need an cheap and convenient alternative in order to decrease this risk.

The main purpose of the study was to determine the extent of adoption of four crops cultivation pattern by the farmers, to determine the factors influenced by the farmers in adopting four crops cultivation pattern and to explore the relationships between nine selected characteristics of the farmers with their adoption of four crops cultivation pattern. Data were collected from a sample of 104 farmers (out of 400) selected by simple random sampling procedure from Baragoan and Nargun union under Thakurgaon Sadar upazila of Thakurgaon district. A pretested and structured interview schedule was used to collect data from the respondents during 15 September to 15 October, 2016. The highest proportion (75.0 percent) of the farmers had medium adoption of four crops cultivation pattern, while 23.1 and 1.9 percent of them had high and low adoption of four crops cultivation pattern respectively. The major factor influenced the farmers were “four crop cultivation is profitable’’, followed by “four crop cultivation is very important for food security.’’ Government subsidies are available when faced with the loss of crops, timely receipt of NGO loans and provides food for cattle had ranked last three positions. Correlation analyses indicated that among nine selected characteristics education, annual income, training received, organizational participation, extension media contact and agricultural knowledge had positive significant relationships with their adoption of four crops cultivation pattern. However, age, family size, and farm size of the farmers had no significant relationships with their adoption of four crops cultivation pattern.
