Ревизия классики украинской зарубежной лингвистики: гендерная проблематика в системе взглядов Юрия Шевелева (на материале статьи Über die Besonderheiten der Sprache der Frauen)
Authors: Kosmeda Tetyana
Published: December 2022

It is typical of the modern linguistic study to reconsider the classical heritage, which makes it possible to observe the dynamics of linguistic processes and the movement vector of scientific thought, as well as to track the problems that still need to be solved nowadays. Such problems include linguistic genderology issues, in particular the description of female speech. In this regard, the little-known German-language research of Yuri Sherekh (Shevelev) Über die Besonderheiten der Sprache der Frauen (1952), which outlines the specificity of female speech at almost all language levels, appears to be of great value. This piece of research remains relevant since it makes it possible to compare the female speech features from different historical periods as well as to rethink the data on the manifestation of conservatism, archaism, negative attitude towards assimilation processes, etc. in female speech, to see the dynamics of the female linguistic worldview and the development of femininity. It seems reasonable enough to state that Shevelev laid the foundation for: 1) a comparative study of gender issues based on the Slavic languages; 2) historical and dialectal gender linguistics of the Ukrainian language; 3) national Ukrainian linguistic genderology, manifested at the level of national linguistic consciousness; 4) the study of gender opposing linguistic worldviews; 5) considering the level manifestation of gender characteristics in linguistic systems.
Actual problems of contrastive grammar in the focus of pragmalinguistics
Authors: Kovtun Oksana
Published: December 2022

The term contrastive grammar is still ambiguous. In this paper we trace the unjustified synonymy of terms (confrontative grammar, comparative grammar, contrastive grammar) which lead to controversy among linguists and we attempt to introduce appropriate clarifications to explain the phenomenon. We can state that this linguistic direction is quite new, and its metalanguage is still in the process of development and formation. When studying contrastive grammar in the modern scientific functional-communicative paradigm, the focus of attention is directed to the issues of pragmalinguistics, that is the research, in addition to the actual meanings, of the semantics of linguistic units for designating objects of the environment, also the speech-thinking activity of speakers who use these units and listeners who interpret them; the possible situations of their application; the study of “language in context”; language research, taking into account the goal that is planned to be achieved in the communication process; the wide multidimensionality of the interpretation of the statement; the study of interactive means, taking into account grammatical meanings. The main category of pragmalinguistics is the category of evaluation, and therefore, the issue of contrastive grammar and contrastive description of languages is important to consider in the focus of the paradigm of the category of evaluation; in particular, this concerns the manifestation of each grammatical category.
Emocjonalne przymiotniki w języku polskim i rosyjskim. Paralele i kontrasty
Authors: Orzechowska Joanna
Published: December 2022

A new type of dictionary – a psychological linguistic dictionary was compiled as a result of analyzing 15918 Russian adjectives from the perspective of their relationship with emotions originating in reference to various senses. The dictionary contains information on “the emotional load” of these adjectives, that is how pleasant or how unpleasant emotions a given adjective evokes. The analyzed lexemes were assessed by respondents on the scale of emotions: slightly (un)pleasant – moderately (un)pleasant – very (un)pleasant, which was marked with an appropriate number of pluses or minuses. Although it is believed that representatives of different cultures experience universal emotions, their quality and intensity hidden behind particular linguistic units can diverge for different cultural linguistic communities. Emotions are conditioned socially, culturally and historically; they play an important role in international communication. Thus, when they are incompetently and mistakenly interpreted, this can disturb dialogue between various cultures and even lead to conflicts. In the article, considering equivalents mięsny/мясной and other counterparts, it can be said that not all the examples have a parallel emotional value. Despite the genealogical relationship between the languages and cultures in question, emotive contrasts are not rare. This leads to considering a significant issue of emotive adequacy of dictionary equivalents, which has to be addressed by translators and language teachers.

Осуществление юнгианской идеи русских как интуитивных интровертов в современной литературной фантастике
Authors: Radosz Joanna
Published: December 2022

The paper aims at investigating the demonstration of Russian intuition in the contemporary Russian speculative fiction. The research thesis is that the Russians, both presented in literature and within the frames of the national character studies, manifest themselves as the intuitive introvert type according to Carl Gustav Jung’s classification. For validating the thesis, as far as the proposed literary works are concerned, one should use the instruments offered by cultural literary criticism along with the support of non-literary disciplines, such as intercultural communication and ethnopsychology. Moreover, one should consider also notes on Russian national character taken by Jung himself as well as studies on the sociocultural aspect of the analysed works. A wide range of methods and perspectives allows deep research of the “feeling – intuitive” Jungian scale as manifested within literary characters representing the Russian element (also called Russianness) in the selected works, which belong to the most significant and/or popular pieces of contemporary speculative fiction in Russia.
О гибридном словосложении в русском языке в эпоху глобализации
Authors: Koriakowcewa Elena
Published: December 2022

The article describes in detail some derivational elements involved in the process of agglutination occurring in word-formation system of modern Russian, analyzing semantic and functional characteristics of these word-building elements. The comprehensive analysis of the collected hybrid derivatives shows that globalization and the Anglo-American ‘linguistic hegemony’ increased the productivity of international morphemes, penetrating into the Russian word-formation system through the mass media. Modern Russian language has been undergoing noticeable changes in word-formation models and in the inventory of actively productive derivational affixes. The following processes are noticeable: 1) resemantization and activation of international affixes; 2) development of new hybrid derivative models; 3) creation with the help of morphemes abstracted from composites new formally and semantically condensed nouns, which allows to notice an agglutination’s tendency.
Инновации в русскоязычном публичном дискурсе (на материале обсуждения важнейших событий 2020–2021 гг. в электронных СМИ)
Authors: Kapela Ewa
Published: December 2022

The article describes the new words that appeared in the Russian language public discourse. They are connected with three political events that caused a wide public outcry: the All-Russian vote on the approval of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, protests in support of Sergei Furgal, the detained governor of the Khabarovsk Krai, and the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The research material was collected from online media from January 2020 to September 2021. It includes neologisms, neosemantisms, and new phrases, many of which are occasional. In the collected material there are innovations formed according to standard derivational models and words and phrases representing the product of wordplay, including lexical blends. The considered innovations, being a manifestation of democratization and carnivalization of public communication, perform not only a nominative function. Due to their novelty, unusualness, and expressiveness, they have an evaluative potential. These innovations often become a linguistic means of speech aggression. In addition, they reflect the current social and political events of concern to the society and the attitude of the linguistic community to what is happening.The considered innovations, being a manifestation of democratization and carnivalization of public communication, perform not only a nominative function.

Published: December 2022

This article presents an overview of the ARC Linkage Project “Archiving Australian Media Arts: Towards a method and a national collection,” which addresses the challenges of preserving digital media artworks that are stored on obsolete media and that require legacy computer environments to access. It lays out the challenges facing digital media arts, articulates the significance of the deposit of local media art organisation archives into the custody of major, jurisdictionally-appropriate cultural institutions, and details the selection of case studies for research from these organisations’ archives and other existing digital media art collections in our partner organisations’ custody. Case studies consist of the ANAT archive (formerly the Australian Network for Art and Technology), floppy disks from the Stan Ostoja-Kotkowski archive, Experimenta Media Art’s exhibition “Virtualities” (1995), dLux media art’s exhibition “Matinaze 97” (1997), and the Griffith University Art Museum’s collection of interactive CD-ROMs. The article reports on progress to date against two of the project’s aims, outlines the collective benefits to partners and to researchers of artworks and other materials from these archives being available, and indicates that access to born digital materials should improve in the near future with digital emulation infrastructure set to be built.
Infrared simulation of aircraft rear fuselage based on a coupled CFD method
Authors: Zhou Yue , Wu Jie , He Wei , Ma Jing , Qi Pengcheng , Li Liang
Published: December 2022

As an inner heat source, the propulsion system of aircraft obviously influences the rear fuselage thermal status and thus produced infrared signature. In this paper, a coupled flow-heat simulation method is established to calculate the inner and outer flow fields of a realistic aircraft exhaust system. Considering multi heat transfer modes and fluid-solid thermal interactions, the method is examined by available experimental data. Different nozzle layouts are then provided to analyse the influence of inner hot parts including combustion gas and solid walls on the outer fuselage temperature changes. Thermal radiation is individually researched and analysed since radiation flux heats the outer fuselage skin significantly, especially in the cold convection channel. The simulation results indicate that the appearance of intermediate shield device effectively suppresses the outer fuselage temperature-rise and therefore resulting infrared signatures. In comparison, the exhaust system equipped with intermediate shield could decrease outer fuselage infrared signatures by 69 and 40% for 3–5 μm band and 8–12 μm band, respectively.
THE ‘FAMILY, LAND AND GOD’ TRIANGLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT: THE OFFER OF A SOCIAL READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
Authors: Dišlers Guntis
Published: December 2022

The affiliation of the family with the land, ownership rights as necessary for a sufficient means of existence on one hand, and God’s blessings on the other, is a founding triangle constituting the basic principles of every ancient society. The triangle is also described in the Old Testament, the first part of the Bible. For many centuries, the ‘nation-land-God’ triangle has been an undisputed foundation for the sustainability of every society. The ancient intuition foresaw the inalienable constituents of society as still being worth remembering for modern man. However, in the 21st century, all three constituents could be described and named differently. Our reflections go far beyond the ancient book (or rather, collection of 39 books) composed more than 2,000 years ago for the needs of society in Ancient Israel. The house, the household, was the key concept for both the family, posterity and economics in Biblical times, and so it is today. We tend to think that family ties and economic relationships are separate concepts, but they are made by affiliation with the land, and changes in relations between the three elements have a deep impact on the stability of the nation, with far-reaching consequences.

Authors: Tolutienė Gitana
Published: December 2022

The significance and novelty of the paper is the fact that the study unveils the expression of positive emotionality in the work environment of health-care professionals, with a view to linking the phenomenon to other relevant social phenomena, such as job satisfaction and self-esteem. The article analyses the concept of positive emotionality, its significance, factors leading to the expression of positive emotionality, its relationship with activities performed with satisfaction, self-awareness and self-esteem, motivation, etc. The research shows that the expression of positive emotionality of health-care professionals increases their job satisfaction, as there is a direct correlation between the two. The expression of positive emotionality also has a beneficial impact on health-care professionals’ self-esteem. The research has verified that maturity, career success and self-esteem increase positive emotionality. Although job satisfaction among health-care professionals is moderate, the direct link between their job satisfaction and motivation shows that the more motivated the employees are, the more satisfied they are with their job, with the opportunity to work in their chosen profession, and with the performance of activities that reflect their abilities, skills and competences.

The article analyses the situation of access to help for women who have experienced sexual abuse in the family environment, and identifies the problems they face after experiencing sexual abuse in a close relationship. The problem of violence against women in Lithuania was raised relatively recently, only after the restoration of independence. The first studies were carried out in the 1990s, but the public did not realise the extent of the problem until much later, and it was only in 2011 when the Law on Protection against Violence in a Close Environment was adopted, which was the start of systematic state support for victims of violence. It is only in recent years that we have started to talk about the problem of violence in specific groups, such as sexual violence in a close relationship. It has also been noted that one type of violence, physical violence, dominates in both research and anti-violence practice, while sexual violence is perhaps the most silent, both within the family environment and outside it. The aim of this article is to highlight the problems faced by women experiencing sexual violence in a close relationship, and the possibilities for accessing help.
Erythrocyte Membrane Resistance Of Actively Smoking Donors In Leukoreduced Packed Red Blood Cells During Storage: Focus On Oxidative Stress
Authors: Astarini Dian Eko , Jusman Sri Widia A. , Chunaeini Saptuti
Published: December 2022

Background — Leukoreduced (with removed white blood cells) packed red blood cells (PRC) are commonly for blood transfusions to reduce post-transfusion effects. The number of active smokers in Indonesia is relatively high; consequently, many of them could be blood donors since no regulations are set to rule them out. However, leukoreduced PRC in active smokers are highly risky as they may undergo erythrocyte membrane damage caused by oxidative stress, which hinders fighting the free radicals generated by smoking. Objective — Our study examined the impact of oxidative stress on membrane resistance of leukoreduced PRC, produced from actively smoking donors, during its storage. Material and Methods − The study was descriptive and cross-sectional in its design. It examined 12 nonsmoking (NS), 12 lightly smoking (LS), and 12 moderately smoking (MS) donors. Leukoreduced PRC produced from donors was separated into three groups: NS, LS, and MS. We performed assessments of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) activity, and osmotic fragility test (OFT) on days 0 through day 35 of storage (D0-D35). We used nonparametric statistical tests (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney). We assumed that p<0.05 implied statistically significant difference. Results — The Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated differences on D0, D7, D14, D21, D28, and D35 between all three groups in MDA, SOD, and OFT, with p < 0.05. This study showed that leukoreduced PRC storage increased oxidative stress. The highest oxidative stress occurred in the MS group. Conclusion — Erythrocyte membrane fragility and resistance correlated with oxidative stress. Blood components of leukoreduced PRC produced from moderate smokers should be banned for repeated transfusions.

Rationale — The impact of metabolic pathway intermediates on biological processes and cell viability is a topic of fundamental research: functional potential of low-molecular weight biologically active compounds as regulators of metabolic processes, signal molecules, transmitters of intra- and intercellular signals are of special interest; however, this field remains poorly studied. Objective — To perform computer modeling of oxaloacetate biological activity and to evaluate its effect on human dermal fibroblast culture. Material and Methods — We predicted biological activity of oxaloacetate using in silico methods. The obtained data demonstrated that oxaloacetate could influence proliferative properties and cell culture viability of dermal fibroblasts. We studied metabolic parameters and enzymatic activity in supernatant and cell culture lysate. Cell viability was assessed via methyl tetrazolium test (MTT). Results — We established that oxaloacetate had a stimulating effect on human dermal fibroblast culture. Conclusion — Our results demonstrated the stimulating role of oxaloacetate in the form of changes in the level of metabolites and activity of enzymes, such as gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (p=0.0019) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (p<0.0001). We also established that oxaloacetate increased the percentage of viable cells, compared with the control (p=0.028).

Authors: Sheptulin Vladimir A. , Grusha Yaroslav O.
Published: December 2022

The increase in the frequency and popularity of aesthetic filler injections is accompanied by a high risk of complications, including ophthalmological sequalae. Of these, loss of vision is considered the most dangerous and, in most cases, irreversible. We present a case report of a patient who experienced acute vision loss due to suspected partial occlusion of the ophthalmic artery following nonsurgical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid filler injection. It differs from others in that treatment in the form of a combination of multiple subcutaneous hyaluronidase injections into the periocular region, a single retrobulbar injection of hyaluronidase, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy led to a significant recovery of ophthalmic symptoms with only residual visual field defects remaining.

Published: December 2022

Objective — To examine associations between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) score a population sample of southwestern Siberia. Methods — From the sample of 1,620 people the final analysis included 1,316 participants 25 to 64 years of age who were enrolled in an observational cross-sectional study, Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Risk Factors in the Russian Federation (ESSE-RF). Study participants were split among two groups: Group 1 with CAVI≥9.0 (n=128) and Group 2 with CAVI<9.0 (n=1,188). Prevalence of coronary artery calcification in both groups was analyzed via the Agatston method. We compared main demographic and clinical data between the groups, as well as CAC scores. Results — Elevated CAVI (≥9.0) was present in 9.7% of people included in a population sample from southwestern Siberia, and coronary artery calcification was found in 33.5% of the sample. While similar rates of minimum, mild, moderate and severe CAC score were observed in the participants with elevated and normal CAVI values, CAVI as a continuous variable was statistically significantly associated with moderate and severe CAC scores (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06-1.37, p=0.004). CAC score values were higher in individuals at the age of ≥50 years with pathological CAVI values (116±489 vs. 75±425 in normal CAVI, p=0.035), but not in patients under the age of 50 years (64±227 and 85±475, p=0.343). Conclusion — CAVI could possibly be used as a feasible marker before assessing the CAC score in some asymptomatic Caucasian subjects, but identifying the most appropriate methods and participants, whom it could be clearly applicable to, requires further studying.

Kounis syndrome risk factors, pathophysiology, and management
Authors: Bereda Gudisa
Published: December 2022

The combination of acute coronary syndromes, illnesses associated with mast cell activation, interconnected and interacting inflammatory cells, allergic or hypersensitive reactions, and anaphylactic or anaphylactoid episodes is known as the Kounis syndrome. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, alclofenac, diclofenac, and naproxen) are the most frequently observed medications that cause Kounis syndrome, followed by antibiotics like ampicillin, azithromycin, ampicillin/sulfactam, amoxicillin, amikacin, cefazolin, cefoxitin, cefuroxime, cephradine, cinoxacin, lincomycin, penicillin, cefopera (5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, carboplatin, denileukin, interferons, paclitaxel, vinca alkaloids). There are three main types of Kounis syndrome: type 1 is allergic vasospastic angina, which is caused by endothelial dysfunction and is one of the causes of non-obstructive myocardial infarction; type 2 is allergic myocardial infarction; and type 3 is allergic stent thrombosis with an occluding thrombus (subtype a) or stent restenosis (subtype b). The first step in treating Kounis syndrome is to stop the allergic reaction, then use medicinal or interventional methods to stabilize the coronary arteries. Strong immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids play a significant part in the management of allergic responses. Kounis syndrome is treated with intravenous corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, at a dosage of 5 mg/kg/day.
Etiology, pathophysiology, and management of Allergic Asthma in Children’s
Authors: Kumar Raj , Kumar Mavi Anil
Published: December 2022

Many young toddlers experience frequent chest discomfort, wheezing, and coughing. Before the age of six, one-third of preschoolers experience these symptoms, yet only 40% of these wheezing preschoolers go on to develop asthma. The majority of youngsters in older school-aged children suffer asthma. Controlling asthma affects quality of life. Only a small portion of patients who receive asthma therapy succeed in controlling their condition. Even if co-morbidities, an erroneous diagnosis, or subpar inhaling technique could be to blame, non-adherence is frequently the main factor in therapy failures. Non-pharmacological interventions focus on avoiding cigarette smoke and avoiding allergens when a child is allergic. The GINA and the British Guideline for the Therapy of Asthma are two international standards for pharmacological management.

The article presents the experimental parameter evaluation results of the electronic documents marking algorithm, based on interword distances shifting. The developed marking algorithm is designed to increase the security of electronic documents containing textual information from leakage through channels caused by printing, scanning or photographing, followed by sending the generated image. The algorithm analyzed parameters are such characteristics as embedding capacity, invisibility, undetectability, extractability and robustness. In the course of embedding capacity estimation of the developed algorithm, analytical expressions are given that make it possible to calculate the maximum achievable embedding capacity value. The obtained quantitative estimates and the experiments carried out made it possible to substantiate the admissible values choice of the embedded marker. To determine the embedded information invisibility in the source document, an invisibility and undetectability assessment of the embedded marker was carried out. During the expert evaluation, the developed algorithm invisibility to visual analysis was substantiated, as well as the absence of significant statistical deviations in the distribution of the analyzed parameters in the process of assessing the resistance of the developed marking algorithm to the potentially best steganographic analysis method. The quantitative extractability of the developed marking algorithm was carried out by assessing the extraction accuracy. The analysis performed showed accuracy high values of marker extraction from scanned images, which makes it possible to reliably extract embedded data, as well as determine directions for improving the extraction accuracy from photographed images. In the assessing process the stability of the developed marking algorithm to the transformations implementation and distortions introduction, the main robustness parameters of the developed marking algorithm to the printing, scanning and photographing processes are determined. Conclusions are formulated on the using possibility the developed marking algorithm and directions for further researches are identified.

Published: December 2022

In recent years, due to significant changes in the labor market, companies have become more likely to face various problems when searching and selecting candidates. The main reason for these problems is that the existing Internet resources for finding candidates do not allow you to find a specialist with the required set of competencies and fully evaluate his experience, skills, achievements and personal characteristics. As a result, it becomes necessary to create a service for finding exclusive specialists. Most of these specialists do not have a resume in the public domain, are not looking for a job, but are ready to consider interesting offers. As a result, this work is devoted to the study of the possibility of finding specialists with unique competencies on the Internet based on the analysis of their digital footprint. The hypothesis is that it is possible to get a complete profile of a unique specialist if you collect, combine and analyze data from various sources. In the course of this work, the possibilities provided by open data sources on the Internet were analyzed, as well as the scientometric indicators of a specialist and the parameters of his reliability were determined. An algorithm for searching for the required specialists based on these data has been compiled, an automated system implementing this search has been designed, developed and tested.
Methods and techniques to automatic entity linking in Russian
Authors: Mezentseva Anastasia Alekseevna , Bruches Elena Pavlovna , Batura Tatiana Viktorovna
Published: December 2022

Nowadays, there is a growing interest in solving NLP tasks using external knowledge storage, for example, in information retrieval, question-answering systems, dialogue systems, etc. Thus it is important to establish relations between entities in the processed text and a knowledge base. This article is devoted to entity linking, where Wikidata is used as an external knowledge base. We consider scientific terms in Russian as entities. Traditional entity linking system has three stages: entity recognition, candidates (from knowledge base) generation, and candidate ranking. Our system takes raw text with the defined terms in it as input. To generate candidates we use string match between terms in the input text and entities from Wikidata. The candidate ranking stage is the most complicated one because it requires semantic information. Several experiments for the candidate ranking stage with different models were conducted, including the approach based on cosine similarity, classical machine learning algorithms, and neural networks. Also, we extended the RUSERRC dataset, adding manually annotated data for model training. The results showed that the approach based on cosine similarity leads to better results compared to others and doesn’t require manually annotated data. The dataset and system are open-sourced and available for other researchers.
Requirements and architecture design for cloud PaaS orchestrator
Authors: Lazarev Nikita , Borisenko Oleg
Published: December 2022

Cloud technologies provide abilities for simple and reliable scaling of resources, due to which they have become widespread. The task of managing distributed services in a cloud environment is especially relevant today. Special programs are used for that purpose named “orchestrators” which implement the functions of lifecycle management for applications. However, the existing solutions have many limitations and are not applicable in the general case. Also there is no single standard or protocol for interaction with such tools which requires adaptation of programs for each particular case. The main objectives of this paper are to identify the requirements for a platform-level cloud computing (PaaS) orchestrator, as well as to propose flexible architecture patterns for such tools.

Published: December 2022

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, which can be treated only with early detection of the disease. The article discusses the existing algorithms and methods of visual diagnosis of melanoma. The systems of automatic diagnosis of dermatoscopic images and the methods used by them are also considered. The article considers the limitations hindering the development of automatic diagnosis systems: the lack of relevant domestic data sets that allow training artificial intelligence models, insufficient level of patient metadata accounting, low coverage of the population for the presence of melanoma during routine examinations. A variant of building a decision support system by general practitioners in the analysis of dermatoscopic images of the skin is proposed.

Detection of erroneous usage of synchronization monitor in С# via static analysis
Authors: Ragozina Polina Ilyinichna , Ignatyev Valery Nikolayevich
Published: December 2022

The paper describes static analysis algorithms aimed at finding three types of errors related to the concept of a synchronizing monitor: redefinition of a variable of mutually exclusive locking inside a critical section; use of an incorrect variable type when entering the monitor; blocking involving an object that has methods that use a reference to an instance (this) to lock. Developed algorithms rely on symbolic execution technology and involve interprocedural analysis via summary of functions, which ensures scalability, field-, context-, and flow-sensivity. Proposed methods were implemented in the infrastructure of a static analyzer in the form of three separate detectors. Testing on the set of open source projects revealed 23 errors and the true positive ratio of 88.5% was obtained, while the time consumption only made up from 0.1 to 0.7% of the total analysis time. The errors that these detectors were designed to find are difficult to detect by testing or dynamic analysis because of their multithreading nature. At the same time, it is necessary to find them: just one such defect can lead to incorrectness of the program and even make it vulnerable to intruders.
Ancient Lagash. Current Research and Future Trajectories
Authors: Polcaro Andrea
Published: December 2022

The State of Lagash was one of the major political powers in the Sumerian world of the 3rd millennium BC, with archaeological attestations at least since the 5th millennium BC. Located in present-day southern Iraq, this State incorporated three main cities: Girsu (Tello), Lagash (Tell al-Hiba), and Nigin (Tell Zurghul).

Este trabalho apresenta um relato de experiência envolvendo o jogo Avançando com o Resto, desenvolvido com alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública da cidade de Formiga (MG). A literatura estudada aponta que o uso de jogos nas aulas tende a chamar a atenção, motivar, despertar a curiosidade e a colocar os alunos no centro do processo de aprendizagem. A atividade teve como objetivos trabalhar o cálculo mental, operação de divisão e exercitar a tabuada de uma maneira possivelmente mais eficaz e interessante, além de tentar despertar a motivação para a aprendizagem e o espírito de cooperação e socialização e, ainda, oportunizar a experiência docente com jogos enquanto ainda em formação inicial. Os resultados mostraram que o uso do jogo possibilitou um trabalho lúdico. Além disso, também foram estimuladas a motivação dos alunos para a aprendizagem, a participação ativa durante o desenvolvimento da atividade, a socialização entre os colegas e a mudança na postura do docente que, de detentor do conhecimento passou a mediador da aprendizagem dos alunos. Por fim, oportunizou a mobilização dos saberes advindos da formação profissional para o magistério e a mobilização dos saberes experienciais.

The targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani: A case study through the lens of jus ad bellum
Authors: Kelemen Bence Kis , Kiss Mátyás
Published: December 2022

At dawn on 3 January 2020 local time, the United States targeted and killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, which it claimed was an exercise of its right to self-defense. In this analysis, we will examine this operation through the system of jus contra bellum. The airstrike was conducted against a military official of a state, which differs from ‘traditional’ targeted killings, that mostly target members of non-state actors. We will pay particular attention to the antecedents of the attack, as well as the legal reasoning of the United States and the reactions of the international community. The case study will use a critical approach to analyze the claims made in support of the exercise of the US right of self-defense, in particular their lex lata justification. The study concludes that the targeted killing of General Soleimani was unquestionably illegal under the jus ad bellum regime of international law, as the United States was not the victim of an armed attack prior to the operation.
Children's use of social information from multiple models: Cognitive capacities underlying population size effects on cumulative culture

Published: December 2022

Population size has been proposed to promote cumulative culture in humans. Experimental evidence from adult humans suggests that one explanatory mechanism might involve combining beneficial information from multiple models. However, it is possible that such combinatory social learning requires cognitive capacities restricted to adult humans. In our task, children aged 5–10 were exposed to two models who consecutively searched a 3×3 array for rewards. Models revealed different correct and incorrect reward locations. This information could be used by the child to maximise their own score on the same task. We were interested in children's ability to select rewarded locations, and avoid unrewarded ones, revealed by both models. We also manipulated the spatial and temporal displacement of the information available. Results showed that the youngest children were unable to fully benefit from the additional information provided by the two models under spatial and/or temporal displacement. Such displacement likely applies in most real-world cases of cumulative culture therefore our result may offer insight into the constraints on cumulative culture in nonhumans.

The aim: to analyze the diagnostic informativeness of biochemical markers of connective tissue in the blood of dogs with babesiosis.
Materials and methods. German Shepherd (n=7), Labrador Retriever (n=3) and Rottweiler (n=2) dogs aged 1 to 5 years and diagnosed with babesiosis were studied. As a control group, clinically healthy dogs were used, which came to the veterinary clinic for a preventive examination, the age of the animals was from 1 to 5 years (n=10). The animals were examined according to the following scheme: collection of anamnestic data, clinical examination according to generally accepted methods, general and biochemical blood analysis, urine examination. Glycoproteins in blood serum were determined according to Shteinberg – Dotsenko, sialic acids – according to the Hess method, chondroitin sulfates – Nemeth–Csoka in the modification of L.I. Slutsky.
Results. The biochemical examination of the blood revealed the presence of acute cytolytic syndrome and cholestasis in the animal's body. Cholestasis in sick animals was characterized by an increase in the content of bilirubin and the activity of alkaline phosphatase, as well as an increase in the content of β-lipoproteins. The increase in the content of total bilirubin in the blood was obviously due mainly to its unconjugated fraction, since intravascular hemolysis took place. In the blood serum of patients with babesiosis in dogs, there was an increase in the content of markers of connective tissue metabolism – glycoproteins by 1.63, sialic acids – by 1.36, and chondroitin sulfates by 1.8 times, respectively.
Conclusions. Glycoproteins have "acute phase proteins" in their composition, which are indicators for assessing the degree of the inflammatory process in the body of dogs with babesiosis. Sialic acids are components of sialoproteins, which are also markers of the inflammatory process and destructive changes in the body. An increase in the content of chondroitin sulfates in the blood during babesiosis indicates the development of a compensatory reaction, associated with the action of toxic hemolysis products on the endothelium of blood vessels. Thus, the increased content of biochemical markers of connective tissue in the blood of dogs with babesiosis indicates the presence of a systemic inflammatory-protective reaction in animals, which makes it possible to recommend them for assessing the acute phase of the inflammatory process in the body and protecting blood vessels from damage due to toxic hemolysis
Descriptors of sound insulation of building structures in residential buildings in Ukraine and Europe

Published: December 2022

The object of the research is the descriptors (indices/parameters) of sound insulation of construction structures of residential buildings.
The work presents a brief overview of modern generally accepted construction technologies in Eastern Europe. The most common sources of noise and the consequences of their impact on people's health and life have been studied. An analysis of the levels of airborne sound insulation indicators of building structures in European countries and Ukraine was carried out. Partitions for standard types of housing (private houses, townhouses, multi-story residential buildings) are considered. As a result, a great diversity of sound insulation requirements in different European countries was shown. And this leads to an imbalance and worsens the quality of connections in the construction sector, due to possible confusion and can cause certain problems in trade and exchange of experience. It is also shown that the difference between the numerical indicators of the sound insulation levels of air noise is not entirely appropriate within the EU, since the subjective indicators of the sound insulation of the population have approximately the same data. Comfortable conditions for people from different countries should be the same. Examples of descriptors of air noise sound insulation indicators of 35 European countries are given. Numerical norms of sound insulation levels of EU countries are detailed. General characteristics and differences between states are highlighted.
The paper also examines the diversity of housing types and the relationship between detached, semi-detached (terrace/terraced) and multi-apartment buildings in many countries. This allows for some approximations to calculate the number of neighbors in these countries with adjoining walls and floors in attached housing. Having data on European countries, a conclusion was made with similar characteristics used in Ukraine. On the basis of the obtained data, the strengths and weaknesses of the Ukrainian noise protection regulations were determined, which consist in a small variety of modern types of housing, taken into account in the building regulations, and in a relatively low general level of requirements for sound insulation of building structures. Finally, the quality of life aspect of building occupants and the importance of good design, construction and control are discussed. We hope that the work gained will be used to achieve the goal of creating European-level housing. The already mentioned topic will be of interest to noise and sound insulation specialists, acoustic engineers, ecologists, urban planners and city planners.
