SOCIAL NETWORKS AS A MODERN CHANNEL OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS: COMPARATIVE CONTENT ANALYSIS OF PUBLICATIONS IN RUSSIAN AND FOREIGN SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINES (2020–2021)
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University ", Miletsky Vladimir ,   LETI",   Saint Petersburg State University, Pisareva Alexandra ,   Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI"
Published: January 2022

Social networking sites as a new, modern channel of political communications have been the subject of interest of researchers for the last several years. The acceleration of digitalization of all spheres of life, including political, was largely provoked by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The article presents a comparative content analysis of publications on this topic in Russian and foreign scientific journals. It is established that the interest in the problem among domestic and foreign scientists is approximately equal. At the same time, it was found that the angles of view of scientists differ: for example, Russian authors are more interested in considering the influence of social networks on the behavior of ordinary users than politicians and government officials, like their foreign colleagues. In addition, there are terminological and methodological differences that allow us to say that in our country the study of social networks is still in the process of formation and development.

The reverse motion illusion in random dot motion displays and implications for understanding development
Authors: Manning Catherine , Meier Kimberly , Giaschi Deborah
Published: January 2022

Across two independent developmental labs, we have been puzzled by the observation that a small proportion of our child and adult participants consistently report perceiving motion in the direction opposite to that presented in random dot motion displays, sometimes even when the motion is at 100% coherence. In this review, we first draw together existing reports of misperceptions of motion direction in random dot displays across observers in a small percentage of trials, before reporting evidence of consistent reverse motion perception in a minority of observers, including previously unreported observations from our own studies of visual development. We consider possible explanations for this reverse motion illusion, including motion induction, motion energy, correspondence noise and spatial undersampling. However, more work is required to understand the individual differences relating to this percept. We suggest that errors in perceived motion direction are likely to be more widespread than can be currently gleaned from the literature and explain why systematic study is needed, especially in children. Finally, we list some remaining open questions and call for collaborative efforts to document this phenomenon and stimulate future investigation.
Hidden Demographics Barriers of the Economic Growth: A Psychometric Approach
Authors: Bundala Ntogwa N.
Published: January 2022

This paper examined the hidden demographic barriers of economic growth. The study used a cross-sectional survey researches design. The primary data were collected by using a psychometric scale from 211 individuals who were randomly sampled from the Mwanza and Kagera regions in Tanzania. The data were linearly analysed by the weighted least squares (WLS) and Analysis weighted- automatic linear modelling (AW-ALM), and non-linearly analysed by Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and neural network analysis (NNA). The study found that the main hidden demographic barrier to economic growth is the negative subjective well-being of an individual’s current age and education level. Moreover, the GMM revealed that there is no significant data or regional clusters or classes in the study population. Furthermore, NNA evidenced the most effective predictor of economic growth is age, followed by education. The study concluded that the most hidden demographic factors that hinder economic growth are negative perceptions of an individual on his/her current age and level of education, not the age maturity, and education level. Operationally or practically, the paper implicates several socio-economical policies, mostly the national aging policy (NAP), the National Education and Training policy (NETP), the National Employment Policy (NEP), and regulations /laws on national social security funds schemes at national, regional and global levels. Therefore, the paper recommended that government and other education stakeholders increase the policy commitment on the mathematics, science, and technology subjects to be compulsory for primary and secondary schools, and the extension of the retirement age from 60 years (voluntary) to 65 years (compulsory)

Triamcinolone Acetonide
Authors: Akbani Idris
Published: January 2022

Introduction

A chalazion is a common non-effective granuloma of the meibomian glands of eyelids. They are commonly found on the tarsal conjunctival surface and the eyelid margins. It may be ignored by the patients until it reaches a considerable size. Recently the use of intralesional corticosteroids has shown promising results. We in the present study tried to evaluate the outcomes of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection in the management of Chalazion.

Methods

The current study was carried on Patients with chalazion attending Ophthalmology OPD of Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, [RIMS], Adilabad. Successive patients with small multiple marginal chalazia were included. Patients were selected based on the amenability of treatment with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections.

A chalazion is a common non-infective granuloma of the meibomian glands of eyelids. They are commonly found on the tarsal conjunctival surface and the eyelid margins. It may be ignored by the patients until it reaches a considerable size. Recently the use of intralesional corticosteroids has shown promising results. We in the present study tried to evaluate the outcomes of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection in the management of Chalazion.

Results

Group I with very small-sized chalazia< 5 mm out of n=22 included in Group I resolution after one week following treatment was found in 72.72%. Resolution following repeated injection after one week was found in 18.18%. In group II (chalazia size 5-7 mm) out of n=28 cases, 46.24% resolved after first injection and 39.28% cases resolved after the second injection and no resolution was found in 14.28% cases after one month.

Conclusion

Patients with small chalazia who are not amenable to incision and curettage intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection appear to be a better option. Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections were found to be effective in resolving acute and sub-acute chalazia of soft to firm consistency irrespective of their duration.

Authors: Suvvari Tarun , Kandi Venkataramana , Salibindla Divya Bala A M R , Kutikuppala Simhachalam , Tsagkaris Christos , Modala Venkata Narayana Nithish
Published: January 2022

Background

COVID-19 vaccines provide concrete hope of mitigating the spread of the virus and enabling countries worldwide to resume financial and social activities disrupted by the pandemic. Several COVID 19 vaccines have already received approval from regulatory bodies across the world, the vaccine roll out has started and many countries are implementing mass vaccination campaigns. This study aims to evaluate the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines and its predictors, along with the attitudes towards the vaccines among the general population of South India.

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted as an online survey during December 2020 and January 2021. A Self-administered pre-tested questionnaire was used for the survey. Excel 2019 and SPPS 24 were used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics were used, and a Chi-square test was performed.

Results

A total of 686 people have participated in this study, with a mean age of 30.4 years. 30.9% of study participants have already been infected with COVID-19. 76.2% responded 'yes' for accepting the COVID-19 vaccine, 69% responded to prefer 'routine' administration of the vaccine, and 50.1% were likely to take the COVID-19 vaccine 'as soon as possible' once available.

Conclusion

Public health authorities and policymakers need to streamline systematic interventions and awareness campaigns to improve the acceptance of COVID 19 vaccines and reduce vaccine hesitancy levels. Vaccination strategy should be targeted at the specific needs and attitudes of the concerned population. Reviving the trust in the vaccination procedures and outcomes and offering transparent information regarding the vaccines' efficacy and safety seem to be particularly importance for the population of our study.

Prioritized Muirhead Mean Aggregation Operators under the Complex Single-Valued Neutrosophic Settings and Their Application in Multi-Attribute Decision-Making
Authors: Mahmood Tahir , Ali Zeeshan
Published: January 2022

Two critical tasks in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) are to describe criterion values and to aggregate the described information to generate a ranking of alternatives. A flexible and superior tool for the first task is complex single-valued neutrosophic (CSVN) setting, and a powerful device for the subsequent assignment is aggregation operator. Up until this point, almost 30 diverse aggregation operators of CSVN have been introduced. Every operator has its unmistakable qualities and can function admirably for explicit reasons. Notwithstanding, there is not yet an operator that can give helpful consensus and adaptability in conglomerating rule esteems, managing the heterogeneous interrelationships among models, and decreasing the impact of outrageous basis esteems. In genuine decision-making interaction, there are cases that the interrelationships of contentions do not exist in each one of the contentions, however, in piece of the contentions. Subsequently, there is a need to parcel the contentions into various parts. For this, the technique of prioritized Muirhead mean (PMM) aggregation operator is massive, dominant, and more flexible to investigate the interrelationships between any numbers of objects. The goal of this study is to initiate the CSVN setting and to determine their important algebraic laws. Moreover, to provide such an aggregation operator, the principle of CSVN PMM (CSVNPMM) operator and CSVN prioritized dual Muirhead mean (CSVNPDMM) operator is elaborated, and their particular cases are discussed. Further, based on these operators, we presented a new method to deal with the MADM problems under the fuzzy environment. Finally, we used some practical examples to illustrate the validity and superiority of the proposed method by comparing with other existing methods.

Published: January 2022

Modern scientific and technological progress makes the use of information, communication, and digital technologies an attribute of any business’s functioning and people’s lives. COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to widespread quarantine restrictions, has necessitated an accelerated transition to digital remote access services. In this regard, the authors have investigated the development and spread of digital technologies in Ukraine to implement e-government policy. To assess the realities and determine the prospects of becoming a “state in a smartphone”, the authors have conducted a SWOT analysis of electronic public services. The analysis allowed to identify the advantages and threats of e-government at the present stage and outline the strategies for developing Ukrainian digitalisation. In the state as a service, digital changes are taking place in many industries and spheres, so the authors have identified key components of the digital state, including cybersecurity, e-government, smart cities, digital skills, e-court, e-health care, e-transport, and the Internet. These components are closely linked to e-democracy, e-business, and e-education. In Ukraine, there is a unique state web portal of electronic services, “Diia”, which provides access to dozens of electronic state services. Therefore, the authors have studied the purpose, features of use, opportunities, and difficulties of the portal and mobile application “Diia”. In the usage part, the authors have considered the specifics of authorisation on the portal through the file media of the digital signature and built the appropriate algorithm of actions. Along with the potential risks, modern information technologies provide many opportunities for their users. Finally, the study allowed to outline the prospects for the digitalisation of the Ukrainian state in modern realities

Published: January 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a central nervous system neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the motor system, decreasing motor coordination, balance and generating tremors, and a progressive loss of everyday mobility, including walking. This study was conducted to verify the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on balance, motor control, and the quality of life in Parkinson’s disease patients. The patient received three treatments consisting of 10 sessions of 20 minutes each and a one-week interval between treatments. Active stimulation was applied on the primary motor cortex (M1), the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (D Sham-tDCS. DLPFC stimulation produced the best improvements in terms of motor control, balance, gait, and overall PD symptoms, as evaluated by different scales and questionnaires. As a result, active stimulation of the DLPFC produced superior outcomes and may contribute to treating Parkinson’s disease.
To harass or to respect: the economy of male persistence despite female refusal in a damselfly with scramble mate competition
Authors: Xu Mingzi , Fincke Ola M.
Published: January 2022

In sexual conflict, males are often thought to gain fitness benefits from harassing females over mating. Yet when harassment itself incurs costs to males and if alternative, receptive females are available in a local population, theory predicts that when confronted with a female refusal, a male’s choice of persisting or retreating is determined in part by the likelihood of achieving a mating. We tested that prediction in the damselfly Enallagma hageni, whose males compete by intense scramble competition, resulting in widespread mating harassment toward females, which have a high level of control over mating. Using captive individuals of E. hageni in outdoor insectaries, we quantified male persistence in mating after refusals by pre- and post-oviposition focal females whose egg content we quantified after observations. We documented a novel, context-dependent head-turning refusal signal of sexual non-receptivity, most often displayed in tandem pairs by post-oviposition females that typically carried few mature eggs for males to fertilize. Male persistence was less likely to result in mating with post-oviposition females compared with pre-oviposition females carrying a clutch of mature eggs. Accordingly, males were less likely to persist following refusal signals given by post-oviposition females, supporting the theoretical prediction. Compared with a refusal signal known as wing spread, head-turning was significantly more effective in deterring harassing males. Our results suggest that despite on-going sexual conflict over mating, cooperation benefits both sexes when females use the honest signal of non-receptivity because they carry few mature eggs that males could fertilize.

Recruiting Competent Teachers in South Africa for a Sustainable Future: The Role of School Governing Bodies
Authors: Mngomezulu Mfanawenkosi , Lawrence Kehinde , Mabusela Maria
Published: January 2022

Given the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2030 agenda, several countries have introduced various initiatives and reforms towards attracting and recruiting competent teachers to empower the next generation so that they can face global challenges and transform and sustain the development of society through education that is inclusive, equitable, of quality, and life-long. This study is, therefore, concerned with the role of school governing bodies to recruit competent teachers for a sustainable future. The study is grounded within the interpretative paradigm using a case study approach for data collection from a small sample consisting of ten school governing Bodies (SGBs) in uMkhanyakude District. The findings from this study establish that SGB members perform supervisory duties, prepare interviews, and conduct marking and selection as well as recommending staff. However, members of the SGB were not aware of the qualities required of competent teachers for a sustainable future. Furthermore, the study indicated that external influences and a shortage of qualified teachers are the major challenges encountered by members of SGBs in the process of recruiting competent teachers. The study concludes that the role of SGBs is significant and should not be downplayed if sustainable education that can transform our world is to become a reality.

Published: January 2022

Abstract. The European Space Agency (ESA) Earth Explorer Mission Aeolus was launched in August 2018, carrying the first Doppler wind lidar in space. Its primary payload, the Atmospheric LAser Doppler INstrument (ALADIN), is an ultraviolet (UV) high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) measuring atmospheric backscatter from air molecules and particles in two separate channels. The primary mission product is globally distributed line-of-sight wind profile observations in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. Atmospheric optical properties are provided as a spin-off product. Being an HSRL, Aeolus is able to independently measure the particle extinction coefficients, co-polarized particle backscatter coefficients and the co-polarized lidar ratio (the cross-polarized return signal is not measured). This way, the retrieval is independent of a priori lidar ratio information. The optical properties are retrieved using the standard correct algorithm (SCA), which is an algebraic inversion scheme and therefore sensitive to measurement noise. In this work, we reformulate the SCA into a physically constrained maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) problem and demonstrate a predominantly positive impact and considerable noise suppression capabilities. These improvements originate from the use of all available information by the MLE in conjunction with the expected physical bounds concerning positivity and the expected range of the lidar ratio. To consolidate and to illustrate the improvements, the new MLE algorithm is evaluated against the SCA on end-to-end simulations of two homogeneous scenes and for real Aeolus data collocated with measurements by a ground-based lidar and the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite. The largest improvements were seen in the retrieval precision of the extinction coefficients and lidar ratio ranging up to 1 order of magnitude or more in some cases due to effective noise dampening. In real data cases, the increased precision of MLE with respect to the SCA is demonstrated by increased horizontal homogeneity and better agreement with the ground truth, though proper uncertainty estimation of MLE results is challenged by the constraints, and the accuracy of MLE and SCA retrievals can depend on calibration errors, which have not been considered.
Sounding of sporadic E layers from CSES radio occultation and comparing with ionosonde measurements
Authors: Gan Chengkun , Hu Jiayu , Luo Xiaomin , Xiong Chao , Gu Shengfeng
Published: January 2022

Abstract. GNSS radio occultation (RO) plays an important role in ionospheric electron density inversion and sounding of sporadic E layers. As the China's first electromagnetic satellite, China Seismo Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) has collected the RO data from both GPS and BDS-2 satellites since March 2018. In this study, we extracted the carrier to noise density ratio (CNR) data of CSES and calculated the standard deviation of normalized CNR. A new criterion is developed to determine the Es events, that is when the mean value of the absolute value of the difference between the normalized CNR is greater than 3 times of the standard deviation. The statistics show that sporadic E layers have strong seasonal variations with highest occurrence rates in summer season at middle latitudes. It is also found that the occurrence height of Es is mainly located at 90–110 km, and the period of local time 15:00–18:00 is the high incidence period of Es. In addition, the geometric altitudes of a sporadic E layer detected in CSES radio occultation profiles and the virtual heights of a sporadic E layer obtained by the Wuhan Zuo Ling Tai (ZLT) ionosonde show four different space-time matching criterions. Our results reveal that there is a good agreement between both parameters which is reflected in the significant correlation.

Abstract. Researchers in computer vision and machine learning are becoming increasingly interested in image semantic segmentation. Many methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been proposed and have made considerable progress in the building extraction mission. This other methods can result in suboptimal segmentation outcomes. Recently, to extract buildings with a great precision, we propose a model which can recognize all the buildings and present them in mask with white and the other classes in black. This developed network, which is based on U-Net, will boost the model's sensitivity. This paper provides a deep learning approach for building detection on satellite imagery applied in Casablanca city, Firstly, to begin we describe the terminology of this field. Next, the main datasets exposed in this project which’s 1000 satellite imagery. Then, we train the model UNET for 25 epochs on the training and validation datasets and testing the pretrained weight model with some unseen satellite images. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed model offers good performance obtained as a binary mask that extract all the buildings in the region of Casablanca with a higher accuracy and entirety to achieve an average F1 score on test data of 0.91.

Abstract. Population data, despite their significance, are often missing or difficult to access, especially in cities/regencies not belonging to the metropolitan areas or centers of various human activities. This hinders practices that are contingent on their availability. In this study, population estimation was carried out using nighttime light imagery generated by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument. The variable illuminated area was integrated with the population data using linear regression based on an allometric formula so as to produce a regression value, correlation coefficient (r), and coefficient of determination (r2). The average r2 between the illuminated area and the total population was 0.86, indicating a strong correlation between the two variables. Validation using samples of population estimates from three different years yielded an average error of 73% for each city and 7% for the entire study area. The estimation results for the number of residents per city/regency cannot be used as population data due to the high percent error, but for the population on a larger regional scale, in this case, the island of Java, they have a much smaller percent error and can be used as an initial picture of the total population.

Abstract. During the last years, Morocco’s Environmental, Social and Touristic perspectives has improved significantly, but it remains one of the biggest challenges for Mohammedia city. The purpose of this study is to locate an optimal site for the construction of a new Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) in order to help the environment, to select an appropriate site for the construction of a new School that will benefit the social needs of the city and to create a suitable tour plan of touristic sites for tourism. It was carried out by using Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Global Positioning System (GPS) devices, Digital cameras and Multi- criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA).Throughout the process, the used data for both WWTP and School selection include the remote sensing data of multi spectral satellite imageries and the digital elevation model combined with vector data of land use (LU) layers, and for Tour creation the used data include collected photographs and GPS data from the site. According to MCDA, the results presents an optimal site with an area of 48283,02 m2 for a new WWTP, a suitable area with an area of 3200 m² for a new School and a city tour for tourists with a distance of 27 km.

Abstract. Rapid changes of glacial lakes are among the most visible indicators of global warming in glacierized areas around the world. The general trend is that the area and number of glacial lakes increase significantly in high mountain areas and polar latitudes. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the current state of glacial lakes in the High Arctic. This study aims to address this issue by providing the first glacial lake inventory from Svalbard, with focus on the genesis and evolution of glacial lakes since the end of the Little Ice Age. We use aerial photographs and topographic data from 1936 to 2012 and satellite imagery from 2013 to 2020. The inventory includes the development of 566 glacial lakes (total area of 145.91 km2) that were in direct contact with glaciers in 2008–2012. From the 1990s to the end of the 2000s, the total glacial lake area increased by nearly a factor of six. A decrease in the number of lakes between 2012 and 2020 is related to two main processes: the drainage of 197 lakes and the merger of smaller reservoirs into larger ones. The changes of glacial lakes show how climate change in the High Arctic affect proglacial geomorphology by enhanced formation of glacial lakes, leading to higher risks associated with glacier lake outburst floods in Svalbard.
Limitação da cognição da impugnação ao cumprimento de sentença arbitral estrangeira homologada
Authors: Leitão Danielli
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho apresenta o percurso pelo qual a sentença arbitral estrangeira precisa percorrer para ser reconhecida e executada no Brasil. O Brasil é país signatário da Convenção Internacional de Nova Iorque de 1958, diploma que trata do reconhecimento e execução de sentença arbitral estrangeira, tendo a ratificado em 2002. O reconhecimento da sentença arbitral estrangeira no Brasil se dá após processo de homologação pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça, consoante regramento que será comentado no presente artigo. O Juízo homologante realiza juízo de delibação, decidindo aspectos de validade do procedimento e título estrangeiro, não se admitindo, regra geral, análise do mérito arbitrado. Uma vez homologada a sentença arbitral estrangeira, sua execução dá-se por meio de um pedido de cumprimento de sentença, perante a Justiça Federal de primeira instância, instruído por carta de sentença. Nos cumprimentos de sentenças nacionais, o executado possui limitação das matérias de defesa oponíveis. No presente trabalho verificaremos se há ampliação nessa restrição à defesa do executado, por se tratar de um cumprimento de sentença arbitral estrangeira homologada, no qual a validade do título e do processo arbitral que o originou já foi analisada e decidida pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça.
The Brazilian Center for Arbitration and Mediation (CBMA) as an appellate sports arbitration institution
Authors: Schmidt Gustavo , Ribeiro Natália , Ferreira Daniel
Published: January 2022

This paper aims to demonstrate sports arbitration in practice in the Brazilian Center for Mediation and Arbitration (CBMA). For this, we will use an empirical approach, that is, based on practical cases from the National Chamber of Dispute Resolution (CNRD) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The methodological approach is thematic and chronological. We will only address sports arbitration appeals related to Brazilian football since 2017, when the CBMA became a CNRD arbitral appeal institution. The analysis criteria are straightforward: the rules of sports arbitration appeal procedure, operation, and data collected from the cases. Through these criteria and qualitative and quantitative methodology, we will reach our conclusions.
‘The gun went off’: teaching the writing of violence
Authors: Kissane Andy
Published: January 2022

This essay canvasses a range of literary approaches to the writing of violence in fiction. It analyses practical modes of writing violence in contemporary novels: violence from the perspective of a witness or victim; the creation of psychic distance; focalisation through a ‘less-violent’ character; and violence as allegory. It also discusses the implications of violent student writing for the classroom in the context of authorial responsibility, cultural studies and the potential scope and function of the writing workshop.
Intimacy collapse: Temporality, pleasure, and embodiment in gay hook-up app use
Authors: Møller Kristian
Published: January 2022

This article maps key tensions in contemporary, mediatized gay male sexual culture by focusing on hook-up app use. Based on data generated through a situated and visual interview technique, the paper gather experiences from hook-up app users in the U.K. Concerned with how understandings and usage of hook-up apps are bound up with normative evaluations of their ability to produce “good” intimacy, I suggest integrating analysis of practice and infrastructural capacities with critical intimacy theory. This is captured in the concept intimacy collapse of which I examine three types: one between immediacy and foresight, another between organic and representational pleasure objects, and a third between personal and social acts of looking. The analysis demonstrates that intimacy collapses in hook-up apps produce new (in)visibilities, anxieties and opportunities that are distributed unevenly across the disparate online cultures and identities that make up gay culture.
