Authors: Kotliar Oleksii , Mamenko Oleksii
Published: February 2020

It was proposed to use in the feeding of lactating sows from 2nd till 60th days of suckling period and their piglets from 15th till 75th days of life the combination of humate food additive (0,25 g / kg of mixed foods) with salt form of micro element in the quantity of 25 % of micro element deficit in sow ration (or respectively in piglet dry feeding) plus taste additive (saccharin) (0.2 g / kg of mixed foods). It was proposed to use the same feed additive (without taste additive) in rations of growing gilts from 4.5th till 7.5th month of living.Use of 4 micro elements (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn) sum in form of combyhumate with taste additive on the rations of lactating sows and their sucking and weaned piglets permits to decrease the quantity of additionally added micro elements in the rations in 5 times for Fe and in 4 times for Cu, Mn and Zn comparing with the sum of these micro elements in salt form with additional increasing at 95th day age, average data: number of piglets per farrowing by 0.8 piglet, survival ability by 11.2 %, piglet live mass by 3.2 %, live mass of farrowing by 13.0 %, sow milk productivity by 10.9 %, daily gains by 3.4 %. Use of 3 micro elements (Cu, Mn, Zn) sum in combyhumate form (without saccharin) in rations of 4.5th – 7.5th month age gilts permits to decrease the quantity of additionally added micro elements in the rations in 4 times comparing with the sum of these micro elements in salt form with additional increased at 8.5th month age: average live mass by 5.3 %, average daily gains by 10.4 %. After the 1st farrowing average reproductive parameters at 60th day age increased comparing with control: number of piglets/farrowing by 9.9 %, survival ability by 5.7 %, sow milk productivity by 8.5 %, live mass of farrowing by 11.7 %.

Published: February 2020

The analysis of literature sources shows that the type and material from which the packaging is made has an important place in the system of factors which influence on the storage of feed products and also prevents reducing the quality of raw materials and finished products. Therefore, the purpose of our research is the technological justification of changing the quality indexes of premix samples with salts of trace elements of different chemical nature in the process of storage.
For the solution of the tasks, common zootechnical and statistical methods of the research were used.
The use of premixes in feeding pigs is based on the fact that they should be used taking into account the biogeochemical properties of the region for which they are calculated.
Foods depending on regional properties have a special biochemical composition and excess or lack of individual substances should be offset by the composition of premix. Ignoring this provision necessarily leads to the inappropriate use of BAR, the misbalance of the diet in relation to the physiological needs and inefficiency of the industry. In turn, it requires the purchase and conservation of products for the period of use. Various chemical structures and structures of BAR during the storage process react differently and change qualitative indexes, which leads to a decrease in the productive activity of active substances.
It was determined that the humidity of premixes varied within the limits of 12.0-13.0 %, which exceeded the normative, but was not critical, the highest acidity had premix with sulfuric acid salts (6.9 units), the least - premix with lysates (5.7 unit). According to the results of the study, positive qualitative responses were found for the presence of vitamins A, D and B2, macro- and micronutrients: potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc, cobalt, iodine. The above facts of changes in the properties of premixes in the process of storage must be taken into account when providing technological bases for feeding pigs in order to obtain high gains and the quality of manufactured products.
Key words: premix, micro-and macro elements, combined fodders, fodder mixes, chelating compounds, feeding, using, pigs' livestock.
Postmodernism as a Theoretical Framework for Learner Autonomy Research
Authors: O’Leary Christine
Published: February 2020

The multidimensional nature of current conceptualisations of learner autonomy combined with the need to access both individual and social constructions presents both ontological and epistemological challenges when researching a pedagogy for learner autonomy. This paper will discuss the advantages and challenges to exploring the development of learner autonomy and its implication for practice from a postmodernist and social constructivist perspective, based on a qualitative case study of the development of advanced specialist and non-specialist foreign language learners and their teacher as a learner practitioner-researcher, in a large Higher Education Institution in England. It will show, in particular, how such methodology facilitates a dynamic research design, providing an opportunity to adapt and use existing theories whilst maintaining a strong emphasis on the learner’s ‘voices’. It will conclude with a set of recommendations together with the limitations of such an approach.

Flower Pollination Optimization Based PID Controller Tuning Scheme With Robust Stabilization of Gain Scheduled CSTR
Authors: Sudha T. , Subbulekshmi D.
Published: February 2020

In the area of chemical and control engineering, Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) has been deliberated as a most important topic in temperature process control and it is a extremely nonlinear process, which displays stability only in definite regions and unsteadiness in other regions. In this CSTR, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller has been used to minimize the Integral SquareError (ISE) by adjustment of control parameters like k_p,k_i and k_d.But, this conventional controller has high computational complexity, so to reduce this, the optimization based tool has been designed for PID and it was conceptually simple.Earlier, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization has been focused, but it was not guarantee for good fitness and global optimal solution. So to overcome this, here, Flower Pollination based Global Optimization Algorithm (FPGOA) with Gain scheduling based PID controller is proposed for CSTR. When a plant is exposing to big changes in its operational state, the Gain scheduling has been used. The FPGOA is used for tuning the parameters of PID controller for each region to reduce the ISE. The fuzzy gain scheduler has been combined with multiple local linear PID controllers to check the stability of loop for entire regions with various levels of temperatures. This scheduling is an exceptional form of fuzzy control, which customs linguistic rules and fuzzy perceptive to establish the controller factor transition strategy for the dynamic plant dependent on high changes in its operational state to improve the optimization. MATLAB results demonstrate that the feasibility of using the proposed PID controller compared than existing controller, and it shows the FPGOA attained better results, due to the effectual fitness and global optimal solution for the dynamical nonlinear control of CSTR. The response curves of these systems has been generated and compared with existing schemes.
An Optimal Cluster-Head Selection algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Khushboo Jain , Bhola Anoop
Published: February 2020

The energy utilization is one of the most common challenges in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), as frequent communication between the sensor nodes (SNs) results in huge energy drain. Moreover, optimization and load balancing within the WSN are the significant concern to grant intellect for the extensive period of network lifetime. As a matter of fact, many WSNs are deployed and operating outdoors is exposed to varying environmental conditions, which may further set grounds for severe performance degradation of such networks. Therefore, it is necessary to take into consideration the factors like radio signal strength in order to reduce the impact and to adapt to varying environmental conditions. Since clustering is a topological control technique to reduce the activity of SNs transceivers, it extensively increases overall system scalability and energy efficiency. It selects CH to manage the entire network to achieve longevity in WSN. In this paper, we present an optimal CH selection (OCHS) algorithm which is also based on environmental conditions to achieve energy efficiency and enhanced network lifetime. The originality of this work is that we have taken into consideration the received signal strength index (RSSI) of SNs from the base-station (BS). The OCHS algorithm mainly focuses on maximizing the network lifetime based on RSSI values and residual energy levels of SNs. TheOCHS algorithm is simulated on Cooja Simulator and its performance is compared with existing LEACH and HEED protocols. Simulation analysis and results proved that our OCHS algorithm can effectively enhance the network lifetime by two times and thus it is an energy-efficient way to choose a CH.

MEMAHAMI PUISI “IDUL FITRI” DENGAN TEORI TAKMILAH
Authors: Supriadi Asep
Published: February 2020

Kajian sastra islami dalam sastra Indonesia dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori sastra Islam belum banyak dilakukan. Penulis berpendapat bahwa teori-teori sastra Islam Melayu (Malaysia) dapat diaplikasikan untuk mengkaji sastra Islam Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah teori takmilah yang digagas oleh seorang pakar sastra Melayu bernama Shafie Abu Bakar. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan teori tersebut pada puisi “Idul Fitri” karya Sutardji Calzoum Bachri. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa puisi tersebut menggambarkan nilai-nilai keislaman dengan dimensi sufistik. Puisi itu menggambarkan perenungan eksistensi diri pada Tuhan. Penggambaran itu diperkuat dengan adanya kata-kata cahaya, cinta, salat, zikir, dan taubat dalam puisi tersebut. Kata-kata tersebut dalam istilah takmilah atau tasawuf disebut tafakur dan muhasabah. Dengan melakukan tafakur dan muhasabah, seorang sufi mengharapkan datangnya cahaya Tuhan. Dalam teori takmilah cahaya itu disebut nur ilahiah, artinya cahaya yang datang dari Tuhan. Seperti tampak dalam larik keenam pada bait keempat, “Kini biarkan aku menenggak arak cahayaMu”.

CREATION OF A SUSTAINABLE MODEL FOR BUILDING AND MAINTAINING A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES AND ENTREPRENEURS
Authors: Zunda Santa , Zeps Artūrs , Strode Solvita
Published: February 2020

Purpose – the article aims to analyse the best practices in industry-university collaboration and based on theoretical background and practical experiences of universities to provide a framework for building a sustainable industry-university collaboration model, which indicates processes and steps as well as an example of Riga Technical University on how to create and maintain such collaboration. Research question – how to structure the activities for setting up the collaboration with industry based on the desired collaboration intensity. Hypothesis – universities can effectively organise collaboration with industry if they understand what the specific achievable results they want to achieve are.

Research methodology – based on literature analysis, best practice and problems analysis of universities and Riga Technical University case analysis of university-industry collaboration, a model for improving collaboration with industry is proposed.

Findings – to establish an effective and productive university-industry collaboration university must apply a structured approach of communication and collaboration of all internal parties involved in the process, what can be done by using the SADI Model for Building a Relationship between Universities and Entrepreneurs. For successful implementation of the university’s strategy of collaboration with industry-university must define the achievable results for such collaboration and apply the SADI Model at the appropriate intensity level – basic, medium or high level.

Research limitations – such a model hasn’t been fully implemented, so the full spectrum of all activities and their performance hasn’t been tested yet, as the implementation of it requires the involvement of multiple university departments. As well a limited approbation of the model is done since it is tested within Riga Technical University.

Practical implications – the model can be used in different intensity levels according to the university’s strategical aims and desired achievable results from the collaboration with the industry. Originality/Value – the article supplements previous research done in the field of university-industry collaboration, providing an approach “SADI Model for Building a Relationship between Universities and Entrepreneurs” on how to structure and organise the collaboration with industry within the university as well as provides structured approach on how to define activities to be implemented by university based on the desired outcomes form such collaboration.
Teaching with the Nightingale Tracker Technology in Community-Based Nursing Education: A Pilot Study
Authors: Ndiwane Abraham
Published: February 2020

Changes in health care delivery are becoming increasingly focused on technology. Nursing students are often expected to travel long distances to suitable community sites for clinical experiences, which challenges nurse educators to design and implement instructional strategies to provide students with optimal clinical practice opportunities, while maintaining preceptor-student supervision and vital communication links. This article reports a pilot evaluation of the Nightingale Tracker system, which included both a server and an innovative, hand-held device designed to accommodate multiple forms of data input and allow timely communication between clinical faculty and students in community-based clinical settings. A sample of 5 nursing students reported that the Nightingale Tracker enhanced learning, particularly in performing and documenting physical assessments, data input and transmissions, and autonomous clinical practice.
What Do High School Guidance Counselors Really Think of Nursing?
Authors: Bolan Christine M. , Grainger Patricia
Published: February 2020

With the increasing nursing shortage, it is imperative that nursing programs attract and retain students who will be successful in becoming competent, caring practitioners. High school guidance counselors can influence the career choices of students. To do so, these professionals must have an accurate understanding of the attributes that will facilitate a career in nursing, as well as the changing roles of nurses. This study determined the current perceptions of high school guidance counselors regarding nursing. Overall, guidance counselors had realistic perceptions of nursing and identified personal and cognitive attributes of students that would promote success in nursing. However, nurses involved in the recruitment of students need to ensure that guidance counselors have more accurate perceptions of the changing role of nurses, opportunities for practice outside hospital settings, and the importance of problem-solving abilities and leadership skills for nurses.
A Comparison of Teaching Strategies: Lecture Notes Combined with Structured Group Discussion Versus Lecture Only
Authors: Johnson Jacqueline Patterson , Mighten Althea
Published: February 2020

In this study, we compared two teaching strategies: lecture notes combined with structured group discussion versus lecture only. We sought to help nurse educators identify the most effective teaching strategies for nursing students. We compared the examination scores of two groups of students who took a 3-credit medical-surgical nursing course. The control group (
N
= 88) received lecture only as the teaching method, whereas the experimental group (
N
= 81) received word-processed lecture notes along with structured group discussion. A one-tailed, independent sample
t
test was used to compare the mean examination scores of the two groups. The chi-square test was used to determine whether a significant difference existed between the course-passing rates of the two groups.

The results showed a statistically significant difference between the means of the experimental and control groups. However, no statistically significant difference existed between the course-passing rate of students in the experimental group and that of students in the control group. These results provide strong support for the use of lecture notes in conjunction with structured group discussion as a teaching strategy. We recommend replicating this study using samples from other courses, and conducting further studies that include students' NCLEX-RN

Authors: Walsh Sandra M. , Chang Catharina Y. , Schmidt Lee A. , Yoepp Jan H.
Published: February 2020

Undergraduate students often request “hands-on” research experience but seldom have the time and opportunity during a one-semester introductory course to participate in such a project. The purposes of this educational approach, implemented during a beginning research class for baccalaureate nursing students, were to provide an opportunity for students to participate in an experimental research study, and test the effect of a creative arts intervention on students' stress, anxiety, and emotions. Students designed, participated in, and analyzed the results of the project. The intervention significantly reduced stress and anxiety and increased positive emotions in this student population, while providing a creative research experience. For future use, the intervention may be helpful with a variety of vulnerable groups.
Teaching Health Assessment in the Virtual Classroom
Authors: Lashley Mary
Published: February 2020

Health assessment skills are vital to professional nursing practice. Health assessment has traditionally been taught using lecture, teacher-developed tests, practice and live demonstration, and interactive and computer-based learning materials. Rapid advances in information technology during the past decade have greatly expanded distance learning options in higher education. Although much nursing education now uses the Internet, there has been limited use of the Web to teach psychomotor and clinical skills. This article describes how online instruction can be integrated into a health assessment course to teach physical examination skills.

The development of instructional videos that can be digitally streamed onto the Web for ready and repeated access can also enhance online learning of technical and clinical skills. Student evaluation of this Web-enhanced course revealed that online assignments enabled them to pace their learning, thereby promoting greater flexibility and independence. Students were able to master the technical skills of working online with minimal difficulty and reported that working online was no more stressful than attending class. The most helpful aspect of the online course was the instructor-developed video that was digitally streamed online.
An Innovative Model for Nursing Scholarship
Authors: Stull Alison , Lantz Cheryl
Published: February 2020

Ernest Boyer made a significant contribution to the manner in which scholarship is envisioned by faculty with his 1990 publication,
Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate.
The National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission (NLNAC) incorporated Boyer's scholarship principles into its 2002 accreditation criteria for nursing education programs. This article describes a model of scholarship developed by nursing faculty practicing in an undergraduate setting in a non-research-intensive institution. The model stems from their collegial work on defining scholarship in a way that is both professionally and personally satisfying. In addition, the model is congruent with the NLNAC's vision regarding nursing faculty scholarship. The model, called “Pillars of Scholarship,” incorporates Boyer's four scholarship entities of discovery, application, integration, and teaching.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of three breeding systems on the organoleptic quality and the physico-chemical composition of kids goat meat. Were used thirty newborn baby goats of 3.35 kg ± 0.65 kg crossed Parda Alpina x Undefined Race (SPRD) submitted to three breeding systems: Traditional system-TS; Intensive Feeding System without Concentrate- IS and Intensive Feeding System with Concentrate- IS+C. When the goats reached 12 kg, the animals were slaughtered and chemical and physical analyzes were performed in the evaluation of the meat and sensorial. The experimental design was completely randomized, submitted to analysis of variance and compared by the Tukey test and Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsh at 5%. All analyzed variables were also submitted to Pearson correlation. The meat of the goats submitted to IS+C and IS presented higher intramuscular fat content and better flavor and aroma scores. A of Goats that used concentrated ration (TS and IS+C) showed a more intense red color in the meat than the animals that did not receive concentrate in their diets, besides presenting higher lipid contents in their composition, better scores for these two organoleptic characteristics. The chemical composition of goat meat in both breeding systems indicates that it is low in fat and high in moisture and therefore classified as very tender and juicy. The meat obtained from the IS+C, in general, presented better attributes than the others, believing it in the markets of meat of high quality.

Authors: Baneh Hasan , Ahmadpanah Javad , Mohammadi Yahya
Published: February 2020

This study was conducted to estimate genetic parameters and trends for reproduction traits using data collected at the breeding station of Iran-Black sheep during 1980 to 2004. The traits included in the analyses were litter size at birth (LSB) and weaning (LSW) and litter mean weight per lamb born (LMWLB) and weaned (LMWLW) as basic traits, and total litter weight at birth (TLWB) and weaning (TLWW) as composite traits. Direct heritability estimates for LSB, TLWB, LMWLB, LSW, TLWW and LMWLW were 0.11, 0.07, 0.33, 0.08, 0.09 and 0.11, respectively. The permanent environmental effects had significant impact on all traits and ranged from 0.05 to 0.16. Effect of service sire was highly significant (p < 0.01) for all traits except LMWLW. Estimates of genetic correlations ranged from -0.76 (LSB-LMWLB) to 0.98 (LSB-LSW). Phenotypic and environmental correlations were generally lower than those of genetic correlations. Environmental correlations ranged from -0.55 (LSW-LMWLW) to 0.99 (LSB-LSW). Also, the estimated correlation for the effect of service sire ranged from -0.77 (LMWLB-TLWW) to 0.96 (LSB-LSW and LSB-TLWW). The results suggest that selection based on TLWB could be more effective than the other traits to enhance reproductive performance in Iran-Black ewes.

Published: February 2020

The role of spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in biological control programmes has received less attention than that of insect natural enemies. The aim of this two-year study was to obtain descriptive data on spider spring field population structure and dynamics. The study was carried out in one insecticide-free and four organic apple orchards in southeastern France. Rolls and bands of corrugated cardboard near the ground and shoots infested with Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the tree canopy were used to sample spiders. Thirty-three spider species belonging to 14 families were identified from both sampling methods. Cheiracanthium mildei Koch (Araneae: Cheiracanthiidae) was clearly the predominant arboreal spider species in aphid-infested shoots (>57%). More than half of the spiders recorded in cardboard bands belonged to three species Drassodes pubescens (Thorell) (Araneae: Gnaphosidae), Pseudeuophrys erratica (Walckenaer) (Araneae: Salticidae), and Icius hamatus (Koch) (Araneae: Salticidae). Salticidae (39.9%) and Gnaphosidae (23.4%) families dominated significantly the spider assemblages observed in the cardboard rolls and were present on almost all sampling dates. However, in the two shelter types, the spider abundance curve clearly had a poly-modal shape. This may be due to the sequential arrival of some spider species or their dominance in a certain period of our study.
XIX Congresso Regionale FADOI Campania, Napoli, 5-6 marzo 2020
Authors: D'Avino Presidente: M.
Published: February 2020

Il XIX Congresso Regionale della FADOI Campania si terrà il 5 e il 6 marzo 2020 presso l’Auditorium dell’Ospedale Fatebenefratelli di Napoli. Il suo titolo è: “... anche in salita il cammino prosegue”, volto a sottolineare la tenacia delle Medicine Interne Ospedaliere nel volere continuare il loro percorso per migliorare la qualità dell’assistenza, anche tra le mille difficoltà sociali, organizzative, economiche, burocratiche e strutturali tra le quali si dibatte il nostro Sistema Sanitario Nazionale, specialmente nella nostra regione.

Anche quest’anno il XIX Congresso Regionale della FADOI Campania si concentra su aspetti clinici legati alla complessità, fragilità, cronicità, criticità dei pazienti ricoverati nei reparti di Medicina Interna. La sua struttura ricalca sostanzialmente quella dello scorso anno e che ci ha garantito un elevato profilo scientifico e una buona interattività con la platea. Nei due giorni di lavori congressuali il programma prevede quattro sessioni articolate su workshop, presentazione di casi clinici, circa dieci letture, due delle quali tratteranno “patologie rare”, perché l’Internista è lo specialista delle “diagnosi difficili” e che se esistono centri di riferimento per il trattamento di queste patologie, a tali centri queste patologie possono essere indirizzati solo se la diagnosi viene fatta. Questo è, appunto, il compito dell’Internista e, d’altra parte, se tali diagnosi vengono ipotizzate e poi realizzate

forse scopriremo che esse non sono poi “rare” come sembrano. Un’altra lettura sarà dedicata ai prodotti per il fumo a “rischio modificato”, argomento di grande attualità e sul quale è necessario fare conoscenza, per far sì che il fenomeno venga quantomeno gestito dai dottori e non dalla pubblicità delle grandi industrie. Sono previsti sei workshop che affronteranno argomenti di grande attualità, con un coordinatore che guiderà un team di esperti, ai quali verranno posti quesiti d’importante impatto clinico e gestionale, anche dall’uditorio. Vi sarà l’abituale tavola rotonda a quattro voci sulle ultime novità e sui punti di forza degli anticoagulanti orali diretti. In entrambe le giornate il congresso avrà inizio con una sessione di comunicazioni e sarà allestita anche una sessione poster,

in uno spazio dedicato in modo da poter dare ampio respiro anche ai poster. In contemporanea con il Congresso FADOI, nella giornata del 5 marzo si svolgerà il Congresso dell’Associazione Infermieristica ANIMO, con interventi dedicati alla gestione di tecniche infermieristiche (VAC Therapy, NIV, Stomie) che sono ormai quotidianamente

utilizzate nei reparti di Medicina Interna.

Application of CBNAAT (Xpert MTB/RIF assay) in new smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis patients
Authors: Chopra Vishal , Singh Virk Baljeet , Chopra Siddharth , Bansal Monika , Chungath Jain
Published: February 2020

Presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients whose sputum are detected to be smear negative for acid fast bacilli (AFB) present a significant challenge for a treating physician. Initiating these patients on anti tuberculous treatment (ATT) on empirical basis is not a good strategy as many were found to be sputum culture for tuberculosis negative on further evaluation according to many previous studies. In India due to resource limited settings and lack of knowledge about newest diagnostic modalities patients are often initiated only on the basis of characteristic clinical symptoms and chest radiographic abnormalities. This study was conducted to identify the advantage of application of sputum cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) in sputum AFB smear negative presumptive pulmonary TB patients. Our study concluded that clinical symptoms and radiological characteristics cannot differentiate TB patients from non-TB patients. Treating patients only on empirical basis would have resulted in unnecessary treatment of 41 patients.
Approaching the UCT problem via crossed products of the Razak–Jacelon algebra
Authors: Barlak Selçuk , Szabó Gábor
Published: February 2020

We show that the UCT problem for separable, nuclear C*-algebras relies only on whether the UCT holds for crossed products of certain finite cyclic group actions on the Razak–Jacelon algebra. This observation is analogous to and in fact recovers a characterization of the UCT problem in terms of finite group actions on the Cuntz algebra

\mathcal O_2

established in previous work by the authors. Although based on a similar approach, the new conceptual ingredients in the finite context are the recent advances in the classification of stably projectionless C*-algebras, as well as a known characterization of the UCT problem in terms of certain tracially AF C*-algebras due to Dadarlat.
Enclosure of the numerical range and resolvent estimates of non-selfadjoint operator functions
Authors: Torshage Axel
Published: February 2020

In this paper we discuss the relationship between the numerical range of an extensive class of unbounded operator functions and the joint numerical range of the operator coefficients. Furthermore, we derive methods on how to find estimates of the joint numerical range. Those estimates are used to obtain explicitly computable enclosures of the numerical range of the operator function and resolvent estimates. The enclosure and upper estimate of the norm of the resolvent are optimal given the estimate of the joint numerical range.

Точечная эквивалентность ОДУ второго порядка пятому уравнению Пенлеве с одним и двумя ненулевыми параметрами
Authors: Bagderina Yuliya Yur'evna
Published: February 2020

Рассматривается проблема эквивалентности скалярных обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений второго порядка относительно обратимых точечных преобразований. В случае уравнений Пенлеве для ее решения используются построенные ранее инварианты семейства уравнений с кубической нелинейностью правой части по первой производной. Получены условия точечной эквивалентности пятому уравнению Пенлеве, когда два или три его параметра равны нулю.
Where Do Lifelong Learning Cities in Korea Stand? – From the Perspective of a Learning Society Orientation
Authors: Park Sangok
Published: February 2020

The learning city aims for a just learning society, emphasising the subjective participation of citizens and providing them with equal learning opportunities. The purpose of the paper is to examine, through a literature review method, whether Korea’s lifelong learning cities have achieved the formation of a learning society. In Korea learning cities have led to the provision of more learning opportunities for citizens and improved the quality of education programmes. There also exists a movement for citizens to participate in the learning city project as citizen activists. However, it is not yet possible to assess that most learning cities are developed and built by citizens’ engagement. Moreover, there is even a tendency for inequality to be intensified in lifelong education. Therefore, Korea’s learning cities will need to further solidify their citizen-led perspective, including democratic decision-making and the free expression of opinions by citizens, in order to move toward a just learning society.
Philippines

Published: February 2020

Economic performance remains strong. Growth regained momentum in the second half of 2019 following a slowdown in the first half. The latter primarily reflected budgetary developments, with some temporary government underspending in the early part of the year. A decisive monetary policy tightening in response to the inflation spike and overheating risks in 2018, and weaker external demand also contributed. The structural reform momentum and infrastructure push remain strong.

At the time of the 2005 Review of the Fund’s Transparency Policy, the Executive Board requested
regular updates on trends in implementing the transparency policy. The tables in this report
provide an overview of recent developments, reflecting information on documents considered by
the Board in 2017 and updating the previous annual report on Key Trends. Deeper analysis of
these trends is undertaken in the context of periodic reviews of the Fund’s Transparency Policy.
Somalia

Published: February 2020

Somalia has an historic opportunity to turn the page on decades of conflict, fragility
and state fragmentation, and embark on a trajectory towards poverty reduction and
inclusive growth. For over two decades, Somalia has experienced protracted conflict and
fragility, the collapse of rule of law, institutions, basic public services and the social contract,
resulting in the impoverishment of millions. The 2012 Provisional Constitution established a
federal political structure, including a parliament, the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS)
and the Federal Member States (FMS). The sustained political, economic and institutional
reforms undertaken since 2016 have succeeded in rebuilding core state capabilities.
Queer Gender Performativity in Documentary Cinema: The Transgender Look of Italian Filmmaker Simone Cangelosi
Authors: Sánchez Espinosa Adelina , Calderón Sandoval Orianna
Published: February 2020

This article analyses the ways in which Italian filmmaker Simone Cangelosi enacts a queer countervisuality in his documentary films Dalla testa ai piedi (2007) and Una nobile rivoluzione (2014). The theoretical framework traces a genealogy from what has been termed as fe/male gazes up to what can be understood as transgender, queer and feminist gazes. Connections between the performative mode of representation, performative documentary cinema and gender performativity are also established. By means of a close reading of both films and an interview with the filmmaker, this paper argues that queer ways of seeing in documentary cinema cannot only depict existing realities but also put forward other ways of being, becoming and collectively enacting the right to appear.
“We Olaf”: Pro[(x-)NP] constructions in Icelandic and beyond
Authors: Sigurðsson Halldór Ármann , Wood Jim
Published: February 2020

This article discusses and analyzes an unusual construction in Icelandic, with a plural pronoun in the singular reading and a directly juxtaposed or annexed NP (or DP), where, for example, við Ólafur (literally “we.NOM Olaf.NOM”) means ‘Olaf and I’. We refer to this construction as Pro[NP]. Pro[NP] constructions have been reported for a handful of languages that lack a case system. Icelandic, in contrast, is a case language, and Pro[NP] in this language is case congruent: the pronoun and its NP/DP annex are always in the same case. No such language has to our knowledge ever been described in detail before; we provide the first in-depth investigation of case-congruent Pro[NP]. The article further compares the Icelandic construction to apparently similar constructions, including English we linguists and the Russian type of Pro[x-NP], as in my s Petej (literally “we.NOM with Peter.INSTR”), meaning ‘Peter and I’, showing that the Icelandic construction differs from these, despite having similar (but not identical) semantic properties. We propose that plural personal pronouns consist of two parts: a set of variables, {X, Y}, that determine the form of the pronoun, and an NP annex, which constrains the interpretation of the Y variable. Typically, the annex is phonetically silent (bare plural pronouns), but the Icelandic construction is unusual in that the annex is partly overt, thereby allowing a rare insight into the construction of plural personal pronouns.
