The purpose of this research is to study the effect of mixing pertalite fuel with methanol on torque, power, and fuel consumption, as well as to study the effect of mixing pertalite fuel with methanol on vehicle exhaust emissions and determine the mixture of pertalite and methanol that produces the best engine performance. Fuel variations pertalite, pertalite methanol 5% (M5), pertalite methanol 10% (M10), pertalite methanol 15% (M15), pertalite methanol 20% (M20). This test is carried out with dynotest testing which aims to determine the value of torque and power. Fuel consumption testing was carried out using the road test method, while testing exhaust emissions using Gaz Analyzer. In testing using dynotest, it can be seen that the addition of methanol makes the torque value produced greater, the highest torque value is produced by M20 fuel which is 22.37 Nm. The highest power value is produced by M20 fuel, which is 13.2 Hp. The results of fuel consumption testing with the road test method using pertalite, M5, M10, M15, M20 fuels with the same amount of fuel, namely 250 ml, show that M20 fuel produces the least fuel consumption value of 0.018 l/km with the longest mileage compared to other fuels, namely 13.2 km. The results of HC, CO and CO₂ exhaust emissions testing show that M20 fuel produces the least HC, CO and CO₂ exhaust emissions compared to other fuels.

ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ И ОФИЦИАЛЬНЫЙ ЯЗЫКИ В КИРГИЗСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКЕ: ИМПЕРАТИВНЫЕ МЕРЫ И СОЦИАЛЬНАЯ МОТИВАЦИЯ
Authors: Светлана Юрьевна Камышева
Published: August 2024

В статье рассматривается вопрос о содержании и основных направлениях языковой политики в Киргизской Республике, взаимодействии государственного (киргизского) и официального (русского) языков, роли, месте и функционировании русского языка в социокультурном и образовательном пространстве страны. Объектом исследования являются меры языкового регулирования, проводимые в отношении государственного и официального языков. Проводится мысль, что императивные меры к процессам языкового регулирования нередко приводят к субъективному выбору решений, усложняют отношения между языками. Между тем важное место в характеристике языковой ситуации и определении основ языковой политики в Киргизской Республике занимает фактор социальной мотивации и учет приоритетов в выборе личностью языка образования и профессиональной деятельности. Функциональная значимость малых языков возрастает, когда они активно взаимодействуют с мировыми языками. Для киргизского таким привычным и традиционным партнером взаимодействия является русский язык, благодаря которому и в настоящее время происходит активное пополнение его ресурсов лексическими единицами, обозначающими ценности мировой цивилизации, а билингвизм граждан Кыргызстана, открывая новые «окна возможностей», становится основным фактором формирования креативной и конкурентоспособной языковой личности.
SCANDINAVIAN LOANWORDS IN IRISH IN THE SHIPBUILDING AREA: ANCHOR, SAIL, BOARD (MOTIVATION AND FURTHER SEMANTIC DEVELOPMENT)
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mikhailova Tatyana
Published: August 2024

A limited number of Scandinavian loanwords in Irish represent a group of motivated borrowings connected with cultural influence, including trade, fishing, weaponry, markets, dress, and shipbuilding. The direct sources of these loanwords could also be of Anglo-Saxon origin, reflecting the cultural and social impact on the Irish language. Some terms have Latin origin and even more have parallels in other Celtic languages. In some cases, the presence of lexical doublets is observed. Later, they are distributed according to dialect zones or disappear from language use. The paper concentrates on three lexemes representing complex and controversial cases. The Irish terms accaire, séol, and bord could have been borrowed from Scandinavian language regions, but at the same time might have come from other sources. Their semantic development represents non-standard cases, due to the specific Irish point of view. The anchor designation in Irish is known from the VII—VIII century and represents a Latin borrowing — ingor. It is mainly used to denote something that morally attracts a person, not always in a positive sense. Subsequently, it merges with a Scandinavian loanword in a hybrid form ancaire. The lexeme séol denotes sail but also signifies the semantic transition from cloth, coverlet to bed. The etymology is disputable, and it may have an autochthonous origin. The noun bord is found in relatively later texts. Its origin is debated (whether it is a Scandinavian loan or an Old English borrowing), and following the pattern seen in the English language, it evolves to mean table, and from there, the semantic extension to division, department occurs (cf. Russian stolonachalnik).
EMPIRICAL METHODS OF SELECTING AND ANALYZING DATA FOR A PHRASEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY
Authors:   Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dobrovolskij Dmitrij ,   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Krotova Elena ,   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: August 2024

The article discusses methods of data selection and analysis in the new lexicographic ‘Modern German Phraseology: German-Russian Corpus Dictionary’, currently being prepared for public release. Previously, when choosing lexical entries for a dictionary, lexicographers were guided mainly by their intuition, occasionally resorting to traditional methods of empirical data collection such as surveys and observation of the native speakers’ discourse. With the widespread availability of electronic corpora, an additional method has emerged which facilitates assessment and analysis of linguistic units in use. To achieve adequate results when working with a corpus, it is crucial to decide to what extent it is advisable to use a parallel corpus. If it is not representative, we have to identify monolingual corpora that are most suitable as a source of data and lexicographically significant information for a given type of dictionary. The central question is: what exactly does the lexicographer expect from utilizing corpus data; what information about the structure and functioning of the described expressions, which cannot be obtained by any other means, should the corpus provide? The article shows how addressing the corpus allows the systematic selection of idioms based on criteria significant for the phraseological dictionary, a thorough analysis of the semantic structure of a given expression, including its polysemy and cross-linguistic equivalence.

This study investigates the influence of social support during primary years on the development of social competence in tertiary education. Recognizing the pivotal role of early experiences in shaping lifelong outcomes, the researchers draw upon extensive research to investigate the nuanced relationships that unfold across these critical stages of human development. Hence, this study aims to probe the relationship between social support during the primary years and self-competence among the randomly selected tertiary students of a private sectarian University in Cebu City, Philippines through a descriptive correlational study. Data were gathered online and face to face using valid and reliable 4-point adapted Likert-type survey questionnaires. Results revealed that both social support (x̄ = 3.14, SD = 0.87) and social competence (x̄ = 2.84, SD = 0.76) were described as high. Pearson's r correlation was also found to be significant, r(180) = 0.17, p = .02177, p<0.5, thus rejecting the null hypothesis and concluding that there is a relatively weak positive correlation (r = 0.17) between the levels of self-confidence and self-efficacy among the students while engaging in online learning.  In essence, the findings imply that students perceiving elevated levels of social support during their formative years are likely to exhibit heightened social competence later in life. This study recommends that future research endeavors adopt an extended timeframe; tracking participants from primary through tertiary education as such, an approach would provide insights into how these factors evolve and exert lasting effects.

Authors: Matondora L , Mutandavari M , Mupini B
Published: August 2024

Hospital readmissions introduce a significant challenge in healthcare, leading to increased costs, reduced patient outcomes, and strained healthcare systems. Accurately predicting the risk of hospital readmission is crucial for implementing targeted interventions and improving patient care. This study investigates the use of natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically the ClinicalBERT model, to predict the risk of hospital readmission using the first 3-5 days of clinical notes, excluding discharge notes. We compare the performance of ClinicalBERT to other machine learning models, including logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost, to identify the most effective approach for this task. This study highlights the potential of leveraging deep learning-based NLP models in the clinical domain to improve patient care and reduce the burden of hospital readmissions, even when utilizing only the initial clinical notes from a patient's hospitalization. It can also provide information early to allow Clinicians to intervene in patients who are at high risk. The results demonstrate that the ClinicalBERT model outperforms the other techniques, achieving higher accuracy, F1-score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. This study highlights the potential of leveraging deep learning- based NLP models in the clinical domain to improve patient care and reduce the burden of hospital readmissions.

Authors: BENCHINE Amal , LOUKILI Najwa , MAAKOUL Rachid , BARGACH Samir
Published: August 2024

Background: Molluscum pendulum (MP), also known as soft fibroma, is a benign fibrous cutaneous tumor arising from mesodermal tissue. While generally small and painless, MP can become unsightly and uncomfortable as it enlarges. Giant molluscum pendulum of the vulva, a rare variant of MP, presents unique clinical challenges. The aim of this study is to present and analyze a rare case of giant molluscum pendulum (MP) of the vulva, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment outcomes.  Case Presentation: We report a 51-year-old female with a progressively enlarging perineal mass over 3 years. Physical examination revealed a pedunculated mass on the left labia majora, measuring 55 x 30cm, soft, painless, and mobile. Surgical excision under general anesthesia was performed, and the resected specimen weighed 850 grams with a diameter of 5 x 3 cm. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of giant vulvar molluscum pendulum. The surgical margins were clear, and the patient experienced a favorable recovery with no recurrence during a one- year follow-up.  Discussion: Molluscum pendulum is a benign pedunculated skin tumor commonly found in flexion areas but rarely on the vulva. Giant vulvar molluscum pendulum is characterized by significant growth and can be mistaken for other vulvar conditions, including Bartholin’s cysts and lipomas. Accurate diagnosis through histopathological examination is crucial. While the large size of the tumor is usually benign, potential malignancy must be considered. Surgical excision remains the most effective treatment, with further management reserved for malignant cases.  Conclusion: Giant molluscum pendulum of the vulva is a rare benign tumor that can grow substantially. Accurate diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential for managing this condition effectively and preventing recurrence.

This research investigates the detrimental impact of bad governance, characterized by corruption, nepotism, and lawlessness, on achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It argues that bad governance diverts resources, weakens institutions, and hinders progress on critical areas like poverty reduction, environmental protection, and social justice. The study employs a multi-faceted approach, analyzing the specific ways bad governance hinders SDGs, exploring successful case studies, and identifying key factors that contribute to good governance. The research findings hold significant value for policymakers, civil society organizations (CSOs), and international development agencies. By understanding these challenges, stakeholders can design targeted interventions, advocate for good governance reforms, and foster a more sustainable future. Ultimately, the study concludes that overcoming bad governance requires a collective effort and a commitment to transparency, accountability, and public participation. This paves the way for achieving the SDGs and creating a more just and sustainable world.

Published: August 2024

We derive asymptotic expansions of the large zeros of the Coulomb wave functions and for those of their derivatives. The new expansions have the same form as the McMahon expansions of the zeros of the Bessel functions and reduce to them when a parameter is equal to zero. Numerical tests are provided to demonstrate the accuracy of the expansions.

The Malay Peninsula has traditionally been considered to harbour a diverse land-snail fauna, both in terms of a high species richness and a wide variety of conchological traits, especially within the limacoid land snails. A recent survey along the Malay Peninsula of southern Thailand discovered an overlooked limacoid taxon “Trochomorpha” sculpticarina Martens, 1883, previously assigned to genus Trochomorpha of the Trochomorphidae. This genus is herein described as Janbinmorphagen. nov. based on comparative studies of shell morphology, external features, genital anatomy and radular morphology, as well as analyses of partial sequences of two mitochondrial markers, COI and 16S rRNA, and of one nuclear marker, 28S rRNA. This new genus is characterised by a combination of distinct morphological and anatomical features. The most distinguishing features are a depressed trochiform shell with a keeled last whorl, gametolytic organ without a duct, gametolytic sac with two lobes, and proximal epiphallus encircled with a thick sheath and attached by the penial retractor muscle. In addition, an analysis of the differentiation in mitochondrial and nuclear markers confirmed that this new genus, first recognised by morphology, is also genetically distinct. The molecular data also confirm that J. sculpticarinacomb. nov. is a member of the Ariophantidae and has a close evolutionary relationship to Hemiplecta and Maelamaodiscus.

This study examines the effect of audit committees on corporate social performance. Using a sample of Indian firms for the 2008–2021 period, we find that the firm's corporate social performance is significantly higher in the presence of an audit committee. This relationship is stronger when the audit committee consists of more directors. Our results support the resource dependence theory, which indicates that the members of each committee on the board provide various resources to the firms in the form of their skills and expertise. Our study has an implication for the regulators that more transparency should be required in the audit committee to ensure better corporate governance.

The textile industries, while important to employment and economic growth, also contribute to environmental damage. However, adopting a 'closed loop' production and supply chain model minimises environmental risks. Moreover, a circular framework in the textile sector will pace the path towards sustainability. So, the study explored sustainable production practices in the textile manufacturing units in Kerala based on the priority selections made by the manufacturers. The Fuzzy analytical hierarchy procedure application on the data gathered from 300 sample units from five cities of Kerala revealed that though the industries have consistent circular economic potentials, the majority exhibit inconsistency in their decisions to follow the sustainable production models.
