Plant parasitic nematodes associated with cassava cultivation in Cote dIvoire have received very little public attention. This study aimsat updating information on nematodes associated with cassava. Surveys were carried out in cassava fieldsin five localities spread over two agroecological zones so as to collect cassava soil and root samples. The nematodes were extracted, identified, quantified and their distributionmapped. Sixteen nematode genera were extracted from cultivation soils, six of which includingGracilacus, Helicotylenchus, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Radopholus and Tylenchulus were extracted from cassava roots. Gracilacus and Meloidogyne were extracted from cassava roots from all localities. Local and improved cassava varieties were infected with nematodes. Gracilacus was mainly extracted from cassava roots in Adzope, Agboville and Dabou at frequencies ranging from 48.43 to 56.58%. Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus were the main nematodes extracted from cultivation soils in Gagnoa (46.81%) and Yamoussoukro (78.15%) respectively. The numbers of Gracilacus in Adzope, Agboville and Dabou, Meloidogyne in Agboville, Dabou and Gagnoa, Pratylenchus in Dabou and Yamoussoukro and Radopholus in Adzope increased in cultivation soils with the age of cassava plants.
DIREITO À MORTE DIGNA
Authors: Friede Reis
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como objeto de discussão “o direito à morte digna”. Busca refletir acerca de questões culturais da sociedade brasileira, herdadas do pensamento ocidental judaico-cristão, vistas como entrave ao avanço social e jurídico de temas considerados tabu, como a morte. Mostra que o Direito à vida é um direito fundamental, mas não é um direito absoluto, posto que nenhum direito o é ou pode ser assim considerado. Por fim, defende a ideia de que a vida pertence a cada um de nós, não ao Estado, não à sociedade e, como o Estado brasileiro é laico, não há como, logicamente, sustentar a tese de que ninguém teria o direito de dispor da própria vida. A conclusão é que assim como ninguém pode ser condenado a morrer, também não pode ser condenado a viver uma existência sem sentido.

Published: December 2020

O leão (Panthera leo) é um felídeo que faz parte de coleções em cativeiro, por isso esta espécie apresenta grande ocorrência de doenças da cavidade oral devido a traumas e doença periodontal. A restauração de dentes endodonticamente tratados, com ampla destruição coronária, sempre representou grande desafio para a Odontologia Veterinária, principalmente no que tange a odontologia de animais selvagens. Ainda não existe um pino pré-fabricado com material e técnica que supra todos os casos e substitua em definitivo os núcleos metálicos fundidos. As lesões traumáticas geralmente ocorrem em decorrência de captura e/ou contenção física, comportamentos agressivos ou comportamentos de morder grades ou outros elementos dos recintos. Quando nos deparamos com um elemento dental com grande destruição coronária e tratado endodônticamente, opta-se sempre por um tratamento que possa preservar este elemento. Atualmente, o fator estético é requisito de grande importância na Odontologia Veterinária, com o aumento crescente de próteses tipo metal free, principalmente em animais selvagens mantidos em exposição em zoológicos. Para preservação do dente e restabelecer a estética e a função, a coroa de núcleo metálico fundido de fundo sobre uma camada de cerâmica pura é uma excelente escolha levando em consideração o custo benefício. Este artigo relata a realização de endodontia com reconstrução do elemento dentário tratado com a utilização de Coroa Endocrown de metalocerâmica em uma fêmea cativa adulta de P. leo, submetida a anestesia dissociativa pela associação de tiletamina, zolazepam, detomidina e atropina, em doses calculadas por meio de extrapolação alométrica interespecífica.

Published: December 2020

This work is devoted to the study of the mechanical properties of porous ceramics based on diatomite. Based on the morphological analysis of the studied samples, the porous structure of ceramics (morphology and average pore diameter) was analyzed and the numerical value of the porosity of the samples (35...50%) was determined. The values of the static (70...115 GPa) and dynamic elastic modulus of the samples (37...50 GPa) were measured experimentally. The dependence of the dynamic modulus of porous diatomite ceramics on porosity is studied: the elastic modulus decreases with increasing porosity of the material. A decrease in the porosity of the material after deformation was also found. The formation of diatomite filaments after deformation of samples by compression at a rate of no more than 8 * 10-4 s-1 was detected.

Published: December 2020

The paper considers two algorithms for calculating the neutron yield of the Globus-M2 tokamak for the case of anisotropic ion distribution functions. Such calculations are necessary to estimate the flux of neutrons produced as a result of the interaction between fast particles (deuterons) arising from the neutral beam injection. The first algorithm is the calculation of a six-dimensional integral in the velocity space, and the second uses the expansion of the ion distribution function in terms of Legendre polynomials, which allows one to reduce the dimension of integration. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the algorithms are discussed and the results obtained using them are compared.

Published: December 2020

Background

Diabetes affects more than 30 million patients across the United States. With such a large disease burden, even a small error in classification can be significant. Currently billing codes, assigned at the time of a medical encounter, are the “gold standard” reflecting the actual diseases present in an individual, and thus in aggregate reflect disease prevalence in the population. These codes are generated by highly trained coders and by health care providers but are not always accurate.

Objective

This work provides a scalable deep learning methodology to more accurately classify individuals with diabetes across multiple health care systems.

Methods

We leveraged a long short-term memory-dense neural network (LSTM-DNN) model to identify patients with or without diabetes using data from 5 acute care facilities with 187,187 patients and 275,407 encounters, incorporating data elements including laboratory test results, diagnostic/procedure codes, medications, demographic data, and admission information. Furthermore, a blinded physician panel reviewed discordant cases, providing an estimate of the total impact on the population.

Results

When predicting the documented diagnosis of diabetes, our model achieved an 84% F1 score, 96% area under the curve–receiver operating characteristic curve, and 91% average precision on a heterogeneous data set from 5 distinct health facilities. However, in 81% of cases where the model disagreed with the documented phenotype, a blinded physician panel agreed with the model. Taken together, this suggests that 4.3% of our studied population have either missing or improper diabetes diagnosis.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates that deep learning methods can improve clinical phenotyping even when patient data are noisy, sparse, and heterogeneous.

The Phenomenon of Conversion from Orthodoxy to the Armenian Faith in the Russian Empire in the 19th - early 20th Century
Authors: Blokhin Vladimir S.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes why and how persons of the Orthodox confession converted to the Armenian faith in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russian Empire. This phenomenon is linked to the practice of mixed marriages between persons belonging to the Orthodox and Armenian confessions. While the status of non-Orthodox Christian confessions in Russia during the synodal period has received a good amount of scholarly attention, not much research has been devoted to the conversion from Orthodoxy to the Armenian faith, and to the issue of marriages between persons belonging to these faiths. The present paper identifies the motives and circumstances of religious conversions and the peculiarities of mixed marriages. It does so on the basis of unpublished documents from the funds of the National Archive of the Republic of Armenia. Equally new is the authors suggestion to consider these phenomena as an integral component in the history of Russian-Armenian church relations in the period 1828-1917. Until 1905, the regulations of the Orthodox Church demanded that after the conduction of an interreligious marriage, both spouses continued to practice their respective faiths, and their children were baptized in Orthodoxy. This is reflected in the metric books of the Erivan Pokrovsky Orthodox Cathedral (1880-1885). The analysis of archival documents allows us to conclude that after 1905, most of the conversions from Orthodoxy to the Armenian faith were performed by women who intended to marry men of the Armenian confession. The reason for this phenomenon is that interreligious marriages and the baptism of children born from mixed couples was still in the competence of the Russian Orthodox Church. Only if both partners belonged to the Armenian faith, the wedding could take place in the Armenian Church, and their children were brought up in the Armenian faith. In addition to matrimonial reasons, the article underlines some other important motives behind conversions from Orthodoxy to the Armenian confession.
Creation of a New Industrial Area in the Ulyanovsk District of the Middle Volga Region during the Great Patriotic War in 1941-1943
Authors: Khapaev Evgeniy A.
Published: December 2020

The presented article shows huge, multifaceted work, which in one of the most important economic districts of the country was carried out by local authorities, directors of large industrial enterprises, public organizations on restructuring into military form of industry of a separate region - Ulyanovsky district of the Middle Volga region. The presented materials help to reveal those mechanisms and organizational reserves, the correct use of which within two years allowed to create the most powerful production cluster in the territory of the deaf, located in the Russian hinterland of the mainly agricultural area. The subsequent work of the newly created Ulyanovsky Industrial District allowed not only to create the most powerful scientific and production center, but also to turn one of the numerous agrarian districts of vast Russia into a regional center. The materials of the article will make it possible to present visually the difficulties that have been overcome by the organizers of new industrial industries, many of which have been evacuated from the western regions of the country, in the face of an acute shortage of workers, production space, electricity and rolling stock. The work of workers, engineering and technical personnel, who in the face of constant disruptions in the supply of the most necessary, semi-hungry existence, acute shortage of housing showed miracles of labour heroic, is shown. It is told about difficult labor weekdays of defense enterprises, examples are given when workers, working in conditions of lush frost, under the open air not only performed, but also exceeded production plans. A huge contribution was made by factory and university science, when scientists and manufacturing inventors could within a few weeks develop a completely new design of a small-scale engine, a new generator, introduce such innovations into the production process, which allowed to significantly increase productivity. The authors also tried to show the restructuring of enterprises already existing in the Ulyanovsky district. They also managed to adapt quickly to difficult military conditions, so improving the production process, which eventually allowed to increase productivity and output volumes of final products. The effectively organized production and educational process allowed enterprises to organize a labor rise among employees, to create an atmosphere that allowed to mobilize rear workers for serious labor achievements. No industrial enterprise allowed any sabotage, provocation by enemy agents, and serious production accident throughout the war.

Impact of labor migrants from Tajikistan on the economic security of the Russian Federation
Authors: Rakhmonov Abubakr Kh. , Manshin Roman V.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the problems of the influence of migration flows from Tajikistan on the economic security of Russia, the contribution of Tajik labor migrants to the economy of the Russian Federation, the role of remittances and the consequences of Tajik labor migrants for the financial sector of the Russian Federation, as well as the reasons for the reorientation of Tajik labor migrants from Russia to other foreign countries. With the development of the economy, Russia has become a major migration center, a capacious labor market. With a low birth and a high mortality rates, Russia, like most European countries, needs a positive migration growth, an effective mechanism for attracting labor. As in other countries, the boundaries of migration capacity are determined by factors: trends and prospects for economic development, the situation on the labor market, and the availability of social infrastructure. The migration attractiveness of a country determines the level of migration flows to Russia. The Republic of Tajikistan is currently the second country after Uzbekistan that provides Russia with labor migrants. Tajik migrants have a big influence on the economy, financial sphere, as well as on other spheres of activity of the Russian Federation. Every year Tajik labor migrants make a big contribution to the Russian economy.

Authors: Chernikov Sergey Yu. , Akhmetova Zauresh B.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with practical aspects of the implementation of cooperation between the CSTO countries in the production and supply of trucks as dual-use goods. The current macroeconomic situation of the countries participating in the agreement in terms of opportunities for self-production of these goods is considered. It shows the key brands and manufacturers that provide the markets of the CSTO countries with freight trucks, as well as the situation with production capabilities, and the current difficulties of finding a balance between efficiency, price and diversification in their fleet of civil and military vehicles. The research reveals a fairly stable position of Russian producers both on the national market and on the markets of the countries under consideration. At the same time, the study points out one of the key difficulties in the near-term prospects of the CSTO truck markets - the growing influence and dependence on China at both the macro and micro levels.
Style Dominants of Didar Amantay Prose
Authors: Kalieva Almira K.
Published: December 2020

The intensive development of information technologies, web resources and literature, Internet portals and Internet publications dictate the demand for small-scale prose genres. New literary trends are reflected in Kazakh national prose in the books of the writer, publicist, screenwriter Didar Amantay. The ecology of consciousness, the modern life of the city, the philosophical issues of life are the current topics of his prose and essay writing. As a representative of postmodernism and poststructuralism, Amantay combines elements of different styles and trends of the past in his work, often with an ironic effect, develops a philosophical direction and a critical analysis of culture and society. A characteristic feature of his style of narration is that the writer freely moves from the comparison of images and motives in the national literatures of the world to the analysis of the Kazakh one, addressing his works of art to an exquisite, intellectual reader.

Numerical modeling of laser ablation of materials
Authors: Amirkhanov Ilkizar V. , Sarker Nil R. , Sarkhadov Ibrohim
Published: December 2020

In this paper, we report a numerical simulation of laser ablation of a material by ultrashort laser pulses. The thermal mechanism of laser ablation is described in terms of a one-dimensional nonstationary heat conduction equation in a coordinate system associated with a moving evaporation front. The laser action is taken into account through the functions of the source in the thermal conductivity equation that determine the coordinate and time dependence of the laser source. For a given dose of irradiation of the sample, the profiles of the sample temperature at different times, the dynamics of the displacement of the sample boundary due to evaporation, the velocity of this boundary, and the temperature of the sample at the moving boundary are obtained. The dependence of the maximum temperature on the sample surface and the thickness of the ablation layer on the radiation dose of the incident laser pulse is obtained. Numerical calculations were performed using the finite difference method. The obtained results agree with the results of other works obtained by their authors.

Den analytiske etikk og taylorismens ånd? HR-analyse som ledelseskonsept
Authors: Stensli Hans Olav
Published: December 2020

Denne artikkelen diskuterer hovedelementer i ledelseskonseptet HR-analyse (HR-A). Vi undersøker hvordan HR-A kan forstås som en faglig diskurs, og hvordan denne er relatert til allerede etablerte diskurser i HRM-feltet. Tilfører HR-analyse nye element til diskurser om ledelse, eller er den først og fremst innleiret i allerede etablerte faglige synsmåter og posisjoner? Ledelseskonsepter kan ha store praktiske konsekvenser i arbeidslivet (Madsen, 2017, s. 181). Vi vil gjennom en innholdsanalyse vise, at HR-analyse som ledelseskonsept kan innebære utfordringer for virksomheter som ønsker å implementere det.
Revealing the Surge Phenomena Contribution of the Heavy Metals Inflow to the River Don Delta
Authors: Sheverdyaev I. V. ,   Federal Research Centre the Southern Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation, Kleschenkov A.

Purpose. The aim of the study is to evaluate the surge phenomena effect on the heavy metals inflow to the Don Delta based on the archival and expedition data analysis, as well as using mathematical modeling. Methods and Results. To achieve the purpose, the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) mathematical hydrodynamic model and the original model of the heavy metal compounds’ transfer and transformation in the Don Delta, developed by S. V. Berdnikov were applied. The models included the irregular grid for the Don Delta region with the average resolution 100 × 100 m. The grid cells were grouped into the compartments according to the hydrological principle. Twelve scenarios of dynamics of the suspended solids, and the dissolved and suspended forms of Ni, Cu, Pb and Cd were calculated for the surges of various intensity under the conditions of variable water content and seasonal dynamics of near-water vegetation. In accordance with the scenarios, the graphs showing the changes in the suspended matter content and accumulation, and the maps of the deposited substance distribution resulted from the surges in the delta were constructed. During two days the calculations for which include the surges of varying repeatability and the variable water content, about 0.3–3 t of nickel compounds, 0.1–1.8 t of copper compounds, 0.2–1.8 t of lead compounds and 0.01–0.04 t of cadmium ones deposit in Don. The obtained results made it possible to reveal two regions where the increased accumulation of the precipitated suspended matter and the heightened concentrations of the heavy metal dissolved forms were observed: the interfluve of the Don shipping channel, and the systems of the Kalancha and Kuterma river branches. Conclusions. As for their influence upon formation of the flow of the heavy metal suspended forms, the surge phenomena surpass the river flow. The suspended matter concentration in the Taganrog Bay waters during the surges is the governing factor for the heavy metals inflow to the Don Delta. At the same time, the regions characterized by the highest suspended solids sedimentation and the increased concentrations of the heavy metal dissolved forms are the closest to the Taganrog Bay areas covered by reed vegetation.

The paper deals with assessing an impact of wind climate change on the wind energy potential of the Azov and Black Sea coast region. A lower estimate of operating time for wind power installation and a potential annual energy output for the region are given for the case of Vestas V117-4.2MW. Calculation has been performed of a long-term mean wind speed for two adjacent climatic periods (1954–1983 and 1984–2013) based on data from meteorological stations of the Black and Azov Sea region. The results show a decrease in wind speed at all meteorological stations except for Novorossiysk. The wind climate change is confirmed by comparing two adjoined 30-year periods and by estimating linear trends of the mean annual wind speed for the period 1954–2013, which are negative and significant for almost all meteorological stations in the region (α = 1 %). The trend values were estimated by the nonparametric method of robust linear smoothing using the Theil – Sen function. In the present study, the uncertainty of wind energy resource induced by a gradual wind climate change is estimated for perspective planning of this branch of energy sector. Despite the observed trends in the wind regime, average wind speeds in the Azov and Black Sea region are sufficient for planning the location of wind power plants.

Melhorar o gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos no Brasil é fundamental para um bom desenvolvimento social, ambiental e econômico. Assim, os instrumentos de gestão como o enquadramento dos corpos d’água visam colaborar com a manutenção da qualidade desse recurso. Visando melhorar a gestão do recurso hídrico na região Norte brasileira, objetivou-se nesse trabalho levantar informações da etapa de diagnóstico para o enquadramento do Igarapé Nazaré, localizado no Estado de Rondônia, gerando subsídios para o enquadramento. Para alcançar os objetivos aplicou-se métodos indiretos de análise da paisagem a partir do processamento de imagens de sensoriamento remoto em um SIG, e também métodos diretos como visitas periódicas na microbacia. Através dos resultados, foi possível identificar o processo histórico do uso e ocupação da microbacia chegando a 2019 com 84% do seu território antropizado, sendo seu principal uso a pecuária ocupando 69% da área. Identificou-se grandes fontes de poluição pontuais como indústrias frigorificas (5) e o crescimento da piscicultura na última década (205 sistemas identificados) que pode estar lançando grandes cargas de nutrientes através dos efluentes gerados. Em conjunto, observou-se um crescimento constante do ambiente urbano na microbacia (10,5%/2019) durante todos os anos analisados, gerando uma maior carga de efluente doméstico sobre a bacia.

A certain class of statistical probability convergence and its applications to approximation theorems
Authors: Srivastava H.M. , Jena Bidu , Paikray Susanta
Published: December 2020

In the present work, we introduce and study the notion of statistical probability convergence for sequences of random variables as well as the concept of statistical convergence for sequences of real numbers, which are defined over a Banach space via deferred weighted summability mean. We first establish a theorem presenting a connection between them. Based upon our proposed methods, we then prove a new Korovkin-type approximation theorem with periodic test functions for a sequence of random variables on a Banach space and demonstrate that our theorem effectively extends and improves most (if not all) of the previously existing results (in statistical versions). We also estimate the rate of deferred weighted statistical probability convergence and accordingly establish a new result. Finally, an illustrative example is presented here by means of the generalized Fej?r convolution operators of a sequence of random variables in order to demonstrate that our established theorem is stronger than its traditional and statistical versions.

There are various seed priming methods such as hydro priming, osmo priming, solid matrix priming, hormo-priming, chemo-priming, nutri-priming and biopriming being useful for enhancing the seed germination, seedling vigour and to overcome abiotic stress. Moreover to these advantages, of all priming methods only biopriming method gives an extra advantage of biotic stress management and thus gain special attention. Solubilisation or mobilization of soil macro and micronutrients, siderophore production, induction of plant growth promoting activities, induction of useful biochemicals, phytoalexin and defense-related enzymes and induced systemic resistance are the mechanisms involved in seed biopriming. Range of fungal or bacterial bio agents viz., Azotobacter, Rhizobium, Arthrobacter, Agrobacterium, Azospirillum, Enterobacter, Streptomyces, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Klebsiella, PSB, Pseudomonas fluorescence, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum and Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorhiza, whether they are biofertilizer or biopesticide, may be useful as biopriming agents. Seed biopriming is useful in almost all the crops over the globe and is an eco-friendly substitute to chemical fungicides.
The moderating role of openness to experience: Influence of nostalgia on purchase intention
Authors: Putra Rahmat Eka , Fariz Muhammad
Published: December 2020

This study proposes and tests an interactional model of purchase intention where openness to experience serves as a core construct between nostalgia and purchase intention. Based on Identity Social Theory and the Big Five Model of personality traits, nostalgia and openness to experience are proposed as contextual and individual variables that are interrelated in this process. The interaction between openness to experience and nostalgia leads to buying intention behavior. In general, this model needs a moderation process where openness to experience is a crucial factor to transform the contextual resource into purchase intention behavior. The hypotheses are examined using structural Equation Modelling, based on data obtained from a self-administered survey of 273 respondents. We discuss the implication, both theoretical and practical in this study.Keywords: Nostlagia, Openness To Experience, purchase Intention, Social Identification Theory.

Campana Brothers’ strategies and procedures in practices in the discipline of Furniture Design
Authors: Pereira Marcus Vinicius , Mesquita Cristiane F.
Published: December 2020

This research problematizes design issues involving articulations between creative methodologies (BAXTER, 2011; LOBACH, 2001; MUNARI, 2015) and creative processes (DELEUZE, 1987). Therefore, some procedures adopted by contemporary artists shall be used as resources, such as appropriation, displacement and reinvention. This here investigation aims to offer a theoretical basis for the practices presented in the course of interior design, more specifically in the discipline of furniture design, in the form of creative workshops for the development of projects.
One of the ways to present these practices and workshops is based on the adoption of such strategies by designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, founders of the Campana brand and acknowledged in the domestic environment and abroad as well since the 1980s. In their pieces, these professionals incorporate the concepts of transformation, reinvention, appropriation and displacement.
Their broad portfolio brings together proposals ranging from handicrafts to industry, as they incorporate concepts of reuse, as well as connections between art and sustainability. Among the unusual materials and procedures they adopt, there are PVC hoses transformed into the finish / coating of an armchair named Anemone, in allusion to the tentacles of the aquatic plant. There are also stuffed animals, fabric dolls and bubble wrap, which are displaced from their everyday / functional use to form the Banquet Armchair – which mocks the countless plush animals that materialize the seat; – the Multitude Armchair – in reference to the agglomeration of cloth dolls that cover it –; and the Bubble-Plastic Chair, whose back and seat are made of the material that would normally pack it. There are also wooden slats functionally destined to the packaging of fruit and vegetables at street fairs, appropriated by the designers for the construction of design objects such as the Favela Chair, evidenced by the disorganization in the shape and sizes of the slats used.
This practical approach that reaches across design and art differs from rationalist design methodologies. These are practices that seek to contribute to the expansion of the reference repertoire, in addition to stimulating creative processes impregnated with critical thinking, posing questions about the functional and commercial meaning of objects, in addition to the possibility of assigning new significations and poetics to whatever is being projected. It is also worth mentioning that in the current scenario of crisis and value assessment that have been crossing the prevailing modes of production since the industrial era, the need to question creative and productive fields has been gaining strength, always with a view to generating critical reflections and promoting results of social relevance.
City, Media and Pandemic Stress
Authors: Dimitricheva Olga Ivanovna , Savchenko Irina Aleksandrovna , Pikunov Oleg Igorevich
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with the modern metropolis, which, with all the advantages of living in a big city, is a source and catalyst of stress. The authors empha-size that in times of crisis, including epidemics, stress is on the rise. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the urban population is under pressure from mass media, which, instead of giving an ade-quate assessment of what is happening, in pursuit of ratings, often inflame the situation. However, not all people react equally to “frightening” media con-tent. Building on the ideas of J. Rotter and R. Laza-rus, the authors show how different personality types respond to pandemic-related threats and how these types are susceptible to information shock. It is concluded that optimistic worldview, intelligence, altruism, volunteering, charity are becoming particu-larly relevant at present.
