Peircean semiosis as the process for the making of meaning
Authors: Jappy Tony
Published: February 2022

One domain in which one would expect to find enlightenment concerning the nature of meaning is the pragmatism of C. S. Peirce and, in particular, the various versions of the pragmatic maxim that he refined over the years. For the maxim was, he claimed in a late text, really nothing more than a sort of protocol for determining the meaning of “hard words.” However, at the same time, Peirce saw the communication of meaning as a process that necessarily involved signs, thereby placing the onus of meaning-making within the scope of semiotics. The paper begins by examining the possible contributions to our understanding of the nature of meaning provided by Peirce’s pragmatism and the well-known ten-class classificatory system of 1903 derived from his theory of universal phenomenological categories. However, finding that both present structural limitations for such a study, the paper proceeds to develop the hexadic, 28-class sign-system of 1908 – based, in this case, on three modal universes of existence – and the process of semiosis in order to show how a neo-Peircean conception of semiosis enables the researcher not only to demonstrate the way meaning is communicated but also to hypothesize the way meaning is made through mediatization.

Context

The measurement of parathyroid hormone(PTH) in situ (PTHis) by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has been proposed as a tool to preoperatively help localize parathyroid glands detected on ultrasound. However, the accuracy of PTHis is highly variable according to the few available studies.

Aim

We aimed to develop and validate the PTHis procedure and assessed the performance of PTHis in a large series of patients with hyperparathyroidism and/or undetermined cervical lesions.

Patients and methods

The technique set-up consisted of PTHis measurement in thyroid samples from patients with thyroid nodules and patients with high circulating PTH levels (tertiary hyperparathyroidism). Consecutive patients were recruited at one tertiary referral centre from 2017 to 2020 and submitted to ultrasound-guided FNA-PTHis determination.

Results

During the method set-up, we obtained undetectable PTHis levels in all non-parathyroid tissues after sample dilutions. PTHis was higher in patients with hyperparathyroidism (n = 145; 1817 ± 3739 ng/L; range: <4.6–31 140) than in those with thyroid or undetermined cervical lesions (n= 34; <4.6 ng/mL; P  < 0.0001). When evaluating PTHis performance in histologically proven samples (158 lesions from 121 patients), PTHis was detectable in 85/97 parathyroid lesions (87%; range: 22–31;140 ng/L) and undetectable in all non-parathyroid lesions (n = 61; P  < 0.0001). The specificity and positive predictive value were 100%, and the sensitivity was 87.6%. False-negative lesions (n= 12) were smaller (9.4 ± 5.9 mm) and more often consisted of hyperplasias (75%) than true-positive lesions (16.1 ± 8.4 mm and 33%, P = 0.009 and P = 0.0089, respectively). The method was safe and well tolerated. Four educational cases are also provided.

Conclusions

PTHis determination is a safe and well-tolerated procedure that enhances the specificity of ultrasound-detected lesions. If accurately set-up, it confirms the parathyroid origin of uncharacterized cervical lesions.

Досліджено магнітні властивості одноосьового синглетного магнетика з тензорними взаємодіями. Розглянуто випадок, коли значення атомного спіну дорівнює одиниці S = 1, а зовнішнє магнітне поле спрямоване уздовж осі симетрії кристала. У координатах температура – поле побудовано діаграму стабільності й метастабільності квадрупольної (КФ) і феромагнітної (ФМФ) фаз, на якій є дві області метастабільності. В одній із них КФ стабільна, а ФМФ – метастабільна, в іншій – реалізується протилежна ситуація. Побудовано польову залежність намагніченості, яка має "гістерезисний" вигляд. При нульовій температурі визначено аналітичну залежність енергії перемагнічування від параметрів гамільтоніана системи.
Вплив одновісного тиску на низькочастотну дисперсію діелектричної проникності у високоомних кристалах GaSe
Authors: Стахіра Й.М. , Флюнт О.Є. , Фіяла Я.М.
Published: February 2022

Проведено дослідження низькочастотної діелектричної проникності високоомних кристалів GaSe на частотах до 100 кГц з використанням блокуючих для носіїв електричного заряду (ізолюючих) контактів. Вимірювання проводили при прикладанні до зразка невеликого одновісного тиску в межах до 2,4 · 105 Па вздовж осі c, нормальної до площини шарів кристала. Встановлено, що діелектричний спектр високоомних кристалів GaSe з блокуючими електродами підлягаєуніверсальному степеневому закону ~ωn–1, де ω – кутова частота, n ≈ 0,8, який раніше спостерігали на високоомних зразках з контактами з наплавленого індію. Однакова форма діелектричного спектра на кристалах з різними типами контактів (омічними та блокуючими) підтверджує об'ємний характер спостережуваного явища поляризації, яке пов'язується з стрибкоподібним переміщенням квазілокалізованих носіїв електричного заряду. Встановлено, що діелектрична проникність лінійно зростає з величиною прикладеного одновісного тиску з коефіцієнтом Δϵ/(ϵΔp) = 8 · 10–7 Па–1. Спостерігається незначне збільшення показника степеня 1 – n при збільшенні тиску, що приводить до посилення дисперсії діелектричної проникності. Значна залежність низькочастотної діелектричної проникності від одновісного тиску в високоомних кристалах GaSe пов'язується з формуванням утворень диполів, обертання яких еквівалентні стрибкам локалізованих носіїв електричного заряду.
Suppression of Oscillations by Lévy Noise
Authors: Olemskoi A.I. , Borysov S.S. , Shuda I.A.
Published: February 2022

We find the analytic solution of a pair of stochastic equations with arbitrary forces and multiplicative Lévy noises in a steady-state nonequilibrium case. This solution shows that Lévy flights always suppress a quasiperiodic motion related to the limit cycle. We prove that such suppression is caused by that the Lévy variation ∆L ~ (∆t)1/α with the exponent α < 2 is always negligible in comparison with the Gaussian variation ∆W ~ (∆t)1/2 in the ∆t → 0 limit.

Sine-cosine optimization approach applied to the parametric estimation in single-phase transformers by considering voltage and current measures
Authors: Bocanegra Sara Yulieth , Danilo Montoya Oscar , Molina Alexander
Published: February 2022

In this article, a combinatorial optimization approach for estimating the electrical parameters in single-phase distribution transformers by considering voltage and current measures is presented. A nonlinear programming model was formulated to represent the parametric estimation problem. This mathematical optimization model was developed by applying Kirchhoff’s laws to the equivalent electric circuit of the transformer. To solve the NLP model is employed the sine-cosine algorithm, which corresponds to a combinatorial optimization methodology from the family of metaheuristics that has the ability for finding good solutions with minimum computational requirements, easily implementable at any programming language. Numerical results show that the parametric estimation in the transformers using the proposed NLP model represents the electrical behavior of these devices adequately, considering different load scenarios. All the simulations were carried out using MATLAB software and compared with the GAMS optimization package.
Evaluation of indicators for vehicle penetration routes in the Brazilian transport sector
Authors: Baptista Luiz Bernardo
Published: February 2022

Climate change is upon us. The exponential use of fossil fuels for over two centuries is changing the world as we know it. An energy transition towards a greener world is needed and it may entail the decarbonization of several sectors, such as the passenger transport sector. This work aims to evaluate the role of four vehicle technologies, based on six vehicle penetration scenarios. This assessment is made using the comparison of three indicators for these scenarios, energy consumption, water consumption, and required infrastructural change. It was found that a pure battery-electric fleet would require the least amount of energy in 2050. There is also the issue with the loss of jobs in the sugar and alcohol sector, which can be reduced in this scenario of a battery electric vehicle fleet. The opportunities to maintain ethanol production as an energy vector in the transport sector are apparent.

Published: February 2022

This study identifies the most valued factors for potential bicycle users on work trips and evaluate the impact of implementing different strategies to improve bicycle use. We applied an online stated-preference survey from 127 Companhia Riograndense de Saneamento (CORSAN) employees in Porto Alegre (Brazil). Then, we formulated hybrid ordered logit models to estimate the probability of bicycle use under different hypothetical scenarios. The results showed that locker rooms, bicycle parking, bike-sharing systems (bike loaner programs run by the company), training for employees in bicycle use and the presence of bike paths for access to CORSAN all encourage bicycle use. The availability of locker rooms proved to be the most important variable. The joint implementation of locker rooms, bicycle parking and bike-sharing systems (loaner programs) would increase demand by 66%. The strategies discussed in this article can easily be adapted to other contexts where there is a desire to increase shared bicycle commuting to workplaces.

Background: Non-genital warts are a very common and benign skin disease caused by low-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. Common warts, flat warts, and plantar warts are common clinical manifestations of non-genital warts and are caused by many different types of HPV. Data on the prevalence or incidence of non-genital warts in Bali is still very limited. Therefore, it is important to identify the incidence and prevalence as a reference for conducting further studies on non-genital warts cases. This research studied the incidence, distribution, and characteristics of non-genital warts at Mangusada Badung General Hospital.Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional retrospective study, using secondary data from outpatient clinic's patient register book and medical records in a period of 1 year, from January 1 - December 31 2019. Variables that included are types of non-genital warts, age and sex. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18 for Windows.Results: The number of patients in this research was 3086. The incidence of non-genital warts was 88 cases (2.85%). Common wart was the most frequent findings, with 82 cases (93.2%) and flat wart with 6 cases (6.8%). Non-genital warts frequency was highest among age 11-20, with 31 cases (35.2%). Based on sex, non-genital warts are more frequent in males than females (56.8% vs. 43.2%). The most frequent non-genital warts cases in the male population occur at age 11-20 (20 cases), while in female populations, 11-20 and 21-30 share the same incidence of non-genital warts (11 cases).Conclusion: Non-genital warts most likely to affect a male compare to the female population. It tends to occur more frequently in children and young adults. The common wart is the most frequent findings in non-genital warts.

Authors: Wirawan Yustinus Rurie , Tansil Christophoroes Jonathan
Published: February 2022

Background: Empyema is a condition that can be treated depending on the etiology of the empyema and the phase of empyema development. Open thoracotomy surgery is a conventional technique commonly used in empyema that has greater risk and more extended postoperative hospital stay. This case series aims to evaluate Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) to shorten postoperative hospital stay and lower the risk during the surgery.Case Presentation: We describe a case series of empyema in five patients, each with a different presentation, clinical course, and outcome. All of our patients were performed VATS procedures under General Anesthesia and evaluated for postoperative hospital stays and complications that occur after the surgery. Most of the patients experienced tolerable pain on the site of surgery and only need 3 â€“ 4 days post-operation hospital stays after VATS before being discharged. Only one patient with a poor prognosis after VATS in this case series caused the patient to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and using a mechanical ventilator.Conclusion: In this case series, VATS has a promising result for the patient and can become a choice of treatment for empyema.

Introduction: Oncom is a processed soybean that contains isoflavone compounds. The types of isoflavones found in soybeans and their dairy products are daidzein and genistein which have an estrogenic effect on animals' reproductive performance. This study aimed to determine the effect of oncom extract on productive age white rats (Rattus norvegicus) estrogen levels.Methods: This research is an experimental study with a randomized posttest control group design. We used 21 samples divided into three groups. First group was control without being given oncom extract. The second group was given a black oncom extract dose of 0.005 g/g BB. The third group was given red oncom extract of dose 0.005 g/g body weight. Serum collection for estrogen hormone level measurement was collected on day 14 after administration of oncom extract. Data then analyzed to determine the normality and homogeneity. ANOVA test was used to compare the means between groups. P<0.05 was significant.Result: We found in the control group with the lowest estrogen level mean (16.70Â±0.581) than the experimental groups. The ANOVA analysis results showed that oncom extract significantly increase estrogen levels of productive age white rats (p<0.05).Conclusion: Oncom extract can increase the estrogen level in productive age white rats. However, the estrogen levels between red oncom and black oncom showed an insignificant difference.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease that has a high prevalence in the world. The development of plants with medicinal potential is an alternative to control blood sugar levels in T2DM disease, such as avocado (Persea americana). Persea americana seeds contain secondary metabolites that have anti-diabetic activity, but their bioavailability is low.Aim: This study aims to review various secondary metabolites in Persea americana seeds that can reduce blood glucose levels in ?-amylase pathway along with the type of potential encapsulation as a delivery system.Review: Secondary metabolites contained in Persea americana seeds which have activity as anti-diabetic are tannin, quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, saponin, triterpenoid, and alkaloid. Each of them has several mechanisms in diabetes, but their role as ?-amylase inhibitor on T2DM be in focus. There are various types of encapsulation that are known to be able to serve as a delivery system for these secondary metabolites. Those encapsulations are SNEDDS, chitosan-alginate nanoparticle, PLGA nanoparticle, lipid carrier, liposome, and polysaccharide-based enteric-coated nanoparticle. All of them showed good results in improving bioavailability.Conclusion: It is known that various secondary metabolites found in Persea americana seeds influence reducing blood glucose levels notably in the ?-amylase pathway. The low bioavailability of secondary metabolites can be improved by several forms of potential encapsulation. Therefore, herbal substances as adjuvant therapy in T2DM might be a viable management option.

The Hindu Religion and War
Authors: Bakker Hans
Published: February 2022

This chapter discusses the principle of ahimsâ, ‘not killing,’ which had originally little or nothing to do with how warfare was conducted and conceived in Hindu society. War was endemic in South Asia and seen as the right and duty of the Hindu king. Warfare was regulated by some rules, which were humane in some respects. Battle was sometimes conceived of as a form of ritual, in which the soldiers were the sacrificial victims.

This chapter considers some of the principal ways in which size is manipulated in Indian Art and some of the main reasons for which it is done. Indian Art is largely unconcerned with providing an accurate visual account of the world of space and time and matter. Rather it seeks to evoke a sense of the transcendent Reality which lies behind it.
The Principle of Equivalence and the Interiorization of Ritual: The “End” of Ritual?
Authors: Jamison Stephanie
Published: February 2022

Stephanie Jamison’s contribution undertakes to think along with sacrifice and its performative and intellectual expressions. She thus challenges the view of interiorization as the resultant idea of an end of sacrifice as exterior performance. By clarifying these aspects Jamison points to instances of ritual speculation, for example the famous hymn of Puruṣa, the cosmic man, and the theme of interiorizing ritual in the earliest Vedic texts. The changes depicted apparently have more to do with what she labels “ritual inflation” rather than with the “death of ritual.” By describing the complex activity of equating and substituting the cosmic and the mundane, in both the early and later Vedic texts, she emphasizes the centrality of sacrifice within Indian intellectual endeavours, both past and present.

Published: February 2022

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has many health benefits; however, drinking of VCO directly is still uncommon. In order to overcome this problem, microencapsulation can be one of the solutions. Unfortunately, emulsion is an unstable system and rapidly separates into two layers. Therefore, in this study, we carried out the explanatory research of microencapsulation process with descriptive analysis. It comprised two emulsion treatments, using homogenization method, and three drying techniques, to determine the effect of Pickering emulsion with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and different drying techniques on the characteristics of VCO powder (before drying: creaming index and emulsion droplet size; and after drying: drying yield, color intensity, moisture content, particle morphology, microencapsulation efficiency, peroxide value, rehydration particle size, and dissolving time). The results demonstrated that all emulsion treatments did not depict any emulsion instability up to 21 days of storage, and the obtained VCO powders had different characteristics. The highest microencapsulation efficiency was 33.49±1.59%, obtained from the emulsion using Tween 80 and MCC by spray drying, and the lowest peroxide value was 0.464±0.084 mEq O2/kg, obtained from the emulsion using Tween 80 and MCC by vacuum drying. The future application of this study is expected to produce VCO powder that can improve the ease handling of VCO and also commercialize for being used as a non-dairy creamer.

La libertad como derecho fundamental que es, tiene sustento normativo en la Constitución de 1991 y respaldo en diferentes Tratados Internacionales suscritos en materia de Derechos Humanos. Este derecho, no es absoluto, y puede ser restringido, aún en tiempos de paz, en la medida en que se satisfagan una serie de requisitos legales a efectos de alcanzar una finalidad constitucionalmente legítima. Sin embargo, la privación de la libertad es una situación excepcional que se encuentra sometida al principio de reserva judicial, lo cual implica que solo un juez podría ordenar la limitación de ese derecho. Para desarrollar el tema planteado se fijó el siguiente objetivo: Analizar la figura jurídica de la captura excepcional por orden de lafiscalía como limitante a la libertad, en el marco del sistema penal acusatorio. Para cumplir conel objetivo planteado se implementó una investigación de tipo cualitativo, estudiando y describiendolas relaciones normativas y doctrinales en torno a los fundamentos y efectos de la captura excepcional, a través de un estudio descriptivo documental, que pretende interpretar los textos legales, jurisprudenciales y doctrinales frente al objeto de estudio para precisar su verdadero sentido. El estudio permite comprender que la captura excepcional introducida en la legislación procesal penal, no es deseable dentro un sistema que se presume acusatorio, pese a las exigencias dadas por la Corte Constitucional al declararla exequible, lo cual, en todo caso, desborda los roles propios de quienes intervienen en el proceso penal, especialmente el de la fiscalía como ente acusador.

A Programmable DNA Roadblock System Using dCas9 and Multivalent Target Sites v2
Authors: not provided priceal , not provided ekmatozel , not provided parzialest
Published: February 2022

A protein roadblock forms when a protein binds DNA and hinders translocation of other DNA binding proteins. These roadblocks can have significant effects on gene expression and regulation as well as DNA binding. Experimental methods for studying the effects of such roadblocks often target endogenous sites or introduce non-variable specific sites into DNAs to create binding sites for artificially introduced protein roadblocks. In this work, we describe a method to create programmable roadblocks using dCas9, a cleavage deficient mutant of the CRISPR effector nuclease Cas9. The programmability allows us to custom design target sites in a synthetic gene intended for in vitro studies. These target sites can be coded with multivalency—in our case, internal restriction sites which can be used in validation studies to verify complete binding of the roadblock. We provide full protocols and sequences and demonstrate how to use the internal restriction sites to verify complete binding of the roadblock. We also provide example results of the effect of DNA roadblocks on the translocation of the restriction endonuclease NdeI, which searches for its cognate site using one dimensional diffusion along DNA.

Application of Patent Analytics When Working with Innovative Projects in Technical Universities (In Russ.)
Authors:   ITMO University, Nikolaev A.S. , Kirillov N.N. ,   ITMO University
Published: February 2022

The article analyzes the role of such patent analytics tools as «patent landscape» and «determination of the state of the art in the preparation of application documents for registration of patent law objects» in the implementation of innovative projects of technical universities. The assessment of the patentability of new technical solutions developed during the implementation of an innovative project is one of the main tasks of patent analytics for the protection of these solutions as objects of intellectual property. The article presents the results of the practical application of the above-mentioned patent analytics tools in the field of creating mobile collapsible coatings for temporary roads and parking lots. Based on the theoretical provisions of patent analytics, the authors analyzed the patent landscape of 153 patents of the Russian Federation relevant in this field of technology and developed new technical solutions for the creation of mobile collapsible coatings based on interconnected elements protected by four patents of the Russian Federation.

Published: February 2022

The article explores the possibility of assessing the level of competence of a production and engineering organization in project management. The company analyzed in the article has a typical organizational structure for its field of activity, therefore, the proposed methodology for assessing the competence of the organization can be adapted and used by other production and engineering organizations. The generalizations and systematization of various models carried out by the authors are the basis for the development of a method for assessing the competence of an organization in the field of project management. The study is practice-oriented and is based on the use of data from a manufacturing and engineering company. The method of diagnostics and development of the competence of the organization in the field of project management has been developed, which can be used in accordance with the specifics of the activity of a specific organization.
Copyright Protection vs Free Movement of Goods within the Internal Market of the EU
Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Kocev L.
Published: February 2022

The article is about identification of statistical patterns in the field of trademarks and service marksregistration. To identify patterns, official statistical data provided in the relevant state collections were used. The analysis of dynamic changes in the certificates and the filled applications allowed us to indicate positive conclusions about the intellectual property registration in Russia. The article also provided the hypothesis of the dependency between the number of organizations in a certain region and the number of registered trademarks and service marks. It was concluded that the hypothesis put forward about the presence of a possible dependence between the number of organizations in a certain region and the number of registered trademarks and service marks was partially confirmed. There really is a pattern, that is, with an increase in the number of organizations in a certain region, the number of registered trademarks and service marks increased, but it was not possible to build a clear mathematical model of dependence.
THE MINDSET BEHIND THE SILENT DISCRIMINATORY AND RETALIATORY CONSPIRACY OF CONSTRUCTIVE DISCHARGE
Authors:   Mount Saint Mary's University, Reams Lester C.
Published: February 2022

Over the years employees have faced situations when their actions that previously received praise, were now seen as disruptive. Performance standards and reviews have changed so that the employee is under-performing. Colleagues that were once supportive become distant, critical or avoid interaction. Because of these changes the employee makes the decision to leave because of the intolerable working conditions, allowing management to conclude that the employee was at fault. This article analyzes the business mindset of upper management that engages in the silent discriminatory and retaliatory conspiracy of constructive discharge. Psychological, cognitive, legal and economic factors involved are analyzed with the use of grounded theory, case studies, legal and managerial analysis. Based on the discussion of legal and workplace environment, the author formulates recommendations for business and public institutions to implement.
MUNICIPAL OPEN PUBLIC SPACES (HUBS) AS INNOVATIVE TOOLS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL DEMOCRACY (THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITY OF KYIV)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Ruban Dmytro
Published: February 2022

The questions of the emergence and development of open public spaces, their role in the world democracy development and the process of their transformation into modern multifunctional platforms for the development of civil society and communications are studied. The Ukrainian experience of creating open public spaces (hubs) and the concept of their activity in such cities as Lviv and Vinnitsa were analyzed. The process of creation and development of open public spaces (hubs) in Kyiv and their technical equipment are studied. There is a detailed description of the concept and directions of activities realized on the basis of hubs in Kyiv in the context of different target audiences. In article there are examples of events held on the basis of municipal open public spaces. The author discribes down the process of organizing digital communications between city authorities and civil society institutions as the main direction of further development of the non-governmental sector, through the creation of unified portals, providing services for NGOs. The principles of using the portal by civil society institutions are described in detail. The article pays special attention to the rules of use of the established municipal open public spaces in order to maintain the balance between all potential users and not to politicize such public participation tool as open public spaces (hubs). It is concluded that, over time, new public spaces (hubs) should become the centers of the social life of micro-communities and ensure the development and improvement of direct communication between the city authorities and residents in order to develop a democratic society.
INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS IN UKRAINE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF MINISTRIES)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Solovіov Serhii
Published: February 2022

The introduction of strategic communications into public administration practices has acquired a legal basis as a result of the launch of the Strategic Communications Partnership between the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and the NATO International Staff. Promoting a culture of strategic communication at the institutional level was stated in that document. The relevance of the study of the dynamics of institutionalization of strategic communications can be explained by the need to address the problem of increasing public confidence in national strategies and activities of public authorities. The purpose of the article is to identify the dynamics of the process of institutionalization of strategic communications in central government on the example of ministries. The methodology is based on the analysis of empirical data obtained in the form of ministries' responses to information requests in 2016, 2018, 2020. The subject of the request is the presence or absence in the authority of a structural unit and/or official whose activities are related to the planning or implementation of strategic communications. The article outlines the dynamics of institutionalization of strategic communications on the example of the initiation and transformation of relevant structural units and/or positions in this area. The dynamic indicates, in particular, a decrease in the level of institutionalization in 2020 compared to 2018. The change in the number of ministries has made it impossible to express this dynamic in absolute terms. In this regard, the institutionalization ratio is proposed as the ratio of the number of ministries with the relevant structural units to the total number of ministries at the time of the study. It was found that activities in the field of strategic communications in most ministries are carried out by units that also have the function of performing other tasks in the field of information and communication activities.
