Authors: Baranwal Tanya
Published: April 2022

This paper aims to present a perfect way of building pragmatic competence within the youths and even youngsters using movies. Beginning with the definition of pragmatics, 'which is dealing with the problems practically in specific situation' then, relating the term with communicative
competence, this paper describes the busy life of the people living in the society. Today's world is so obsessed with their own works which has made their life busy very much. And this busyness does not allow them to work on their pragmatic skills. We are lucky enough that, modern technologies
such as television and phone, have provided us a wonderful and profitable option of movies, which can prove to be the best sources of building of pragmatic competence through narration by watching movies. Further this paper presents various movies and their precise moral values that teach
pragmatic skills; helps understanding the context and intent of speakers' sentences because many of them are ambiguous in nature; politeness and pragmatic competence; how pragmatism can be used and practiced in engineering. Based on all these, finally, this paper concludes with some good facts
relating the advantages of pragmatic skills in our day to day lives.
Bilingualism & Multilingualism: A New Perspective to Language Learning
Authors: Nandi Surupi
Published: April 2022

As perception begins to increase in a child, early language acquisition seems much like a natural process. From broken sounds to fumbling words, and then to sentences, a kid finally learns how to express his thoughts and emotions. With time, curiosity grows and a person stumbles upon
new languages around him. As he starts exploring the world around him, he realizes that he is not only becoming proficient at another language but is also starting to learn about various other cultures. Globalization has played a major part in connecting people across the world. Before globalization,
the exchange of language, culture, education, facilities, and thoughts in general, were never so prevalent. With Globalization at full speed, multilingualism has made a huge impact on a person's well-being. Multilingual people tend to be more open to what the world has to offer. They tend
to have a more positive outlook of their surroundings, are free from prejudices, and are able to accept people, culture, and traditions as beautiful happenings on earth.
Aggregation of morpholinium surfactants with amino alcohols as additives: a close look
Authors: Pavlov Rais V , Valeeva Farida G , Gaynanova Gulnara A , Kuznetsov Denis M , Zakharova Lucia Ya
Published: April 2022

Mono-, di- and triethanolamine in combination with methylmorpholinium and hydroxyethylmorpholinium surfactants were investigated for their aggregation and solubilizing properties. A co-operative behavior of the solubilization by mixed surfactant–ethanolamine systems is described. Ethanolamines strongly affect pH and lead to Orange OT phenolic group deprotonation and subsequent increase in aqueous/micellar solubility. The morpholinium surfactant micelles reduce the pK a of the Orange OT phenolic group, enabling its deprotonation at the earlier stages of medium alkalinization. The obtained surfactant–ethanolamine mixtures can solubilize very large amounts of hydrophobic dye, which can then be triggered to precipitate through acidification.

The Relationship between Transparency and Administrative Liability in Comparative Law
Authors:   University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Department of Law, Caserta, Italy, De Falko Vincenzo
Published: April 2022

The author considers the interrelationship between the legislative formalization of administrative responsibility and the acceptance or non-acceptance of the ethical and legal principle of transparency of power, understood as free access to information. The universality of the right to information is substantiated. The paper shows the transition of the legislation of various countries from the principle of secrecy of any information at the disposal of state bodies to the principle of transparency, considered as freedom of search, receipt and dissemination of information. This transition is shown in dynamics as going through several stages. The author considers various models of administrative responsibility adopted in various jurisdictions, mainly in European countries, in comparison with the American model. Their mutual influence is also taken into consideration. Much attention is paid to the need for the correct application of the principle of transparency. It is noted that the declarations underlying the new rules adopted recently cannot give real innovative effects if the reforms are not accompanied by changes in organizational structures and additional financial investments. At the same time, the completeness of the transition from the secrecy regime to the principle of transparency is determined by the legal traditions that have developed in different countries.
Characteristic Features of the Dutch Enlightenment at the end of the 18th Century
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Russian Federation, Makarova Nina
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the characteristic features of the Dutch Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century. During this period, a movement of "patriots" appeared in the Republic of the United Provinces, who in their activities paid great attention to the education of the people, as well as to the school reform and children education. Educational societies and social clubs were formed, uniting people of different social background, engaged in the discussion of pressing socio-political issues. Under the influence of the pan-European Enlightenment movement, such authors as Jan Floris Martinet appeared in Holland, who promoted teaching children the natural sciences and humanities not in the form of traditional lectures in the classroom, but in the form of a conversation between a teacher and a student during an excursion or travel. Of particular importance to the Dutch enlighteners was the experience and writings of German philanthropists, who founded new schools in Germany - philanthropinums. A characteristic feature of the Dutch Enlightenment was the emphasis on family education in the formation of modern man. This was reflected, in particular, in the work of the poet Hieronymus van Alphen, as well as in the increased interest in women's education during this period.

Objective: To evaluate radiological findings on initial screening of the patients who had chest computed tomography (CT) with the pre-diagnosis of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

Material and Methods: Chest CT images of 90 patients with a pre-diagnosis of COVID-19 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, symptoms, and comorbid conditions of the patients were recorded. The chest CT findings on initial screening and follow-up were analyzed.

Results: The chest CT findings on the initial screening of the patients with a pre-diagnosis of COVID-19 included ground-glass opacities (GGOs) (59%), consolidation (34%), crazy-paving pattern (5%), air bronchogram (18%), vascular dilation (6%), bronchiectasis-bronchial wall thickening (7%), air bubble (7%), subpleural line (10%), halo sign (5%), nodule with irregular borders (9%) and reverse halo sign (%4). The predominant findings in the follow-up CT images included newly developing consolidations in the progression stage, GGOs converting to consolidations, bilateral pleural effusion, traction bronchiectasis, and hilar lymphadenopathy. In the regressed cases, it was observed that the consolidation we observed in the first CT imaging turned into GGOs.

Conclusion: Ground-glass opacities were the most common finding in initial screening thorax CT scans of patients with pre-diagnosis of COVID-19. An increase in the ground-glass densities or consolidation areas identified upon initial examination, bilateral pleural effusion, traction bronchiectasis, and hilar lymphadenopathies were observed in the progression stage
Multivariate Analysis in Group Pursuit Problems
Authors: Dubanov A. A.
Published: April 2022

The problem of group pursuit, in which the pursuers need to achieve their goals at the same time, is considered. The proposed pursuit model is based on the fact that the pursuer tries to follow the predicted trajectory. The predicted trajectory of movement is built at each moment of time. Such a trajectory is a composite curve subject to curvature constraints. The time to reach the goal of each pursuer depends on the speed of movement and the minimum radius of curvature of the trajectory. A multivariate analysis of the velocity modules and the minimum radii of curvature of the trajectories of each of the pursuers was carried out to simultaneously achieve their goals.

A group method of manufacturing quartz sensing elements of MEMS Q-flex type accelerometers is known, which is based on sequential liquid and plasma chemical etching in fluorinated plasma. In order to reduce the defects of the final products, labor costs for their manufacture and to obtain a rectangular etching profile of through holes in the section of the sensing element, an alternative technology for forming holes has been developed. The technology is thus the laser radiation pretreatment of fused silica glass with ultrashort pulse duration (about hundreds of femtoseconds) for the entire thickness of the substrate and subsequent liquid etching holes. The conducted studies revealed a local increase in the etching rate of irradiated section of fused silica glass during liquid etching with hydrofluoric acid or alkaline solution. The influence of the etching solution concentration on the change in the etching rate and the roughness of quartz is analyzed. The technology is universal and it can be used for high-precision volumetric processing of product formed from fused silica glass up to 4 mm thick.

Negotiating the “Maze”: SEN and the Transition From Lower Secondary Education in Austria
Authors: Pessl Gabriele , Steiner Mario
Published: April 2022

Austrian students with special educational needs (SEN) face many obstacles in the transition from lower to upper secondary education. Using administrative data from national statistics, we analyse the trajectories of these students focusing on two questions: First, what is the impact of the former setting on further pathways for students from special schools compared with mainstream schooling? Second, can low‐threshold training or apprenticeship projects (the “transition system”) compensate for educational disadvantages in former school careers and serve as a “second chance” or do they reinforce exclusionary practices by perpetuating “special tracks”? Regarding the first question, our research findings confirm those from several studies conducted in other German‐speaking countries that show advantages for graduates from mainstream education compared to those from special schools, as they face a lower risk of institutional exclusion. In respect of the second question, at first glance, our findings differ from prior research results. Participating in the transition system is associated with a slight increase in participation in upper secondary education, some increase in employment, and an important reduction concerning inactivity. As revealed by a regression analysis controlling for socio‐demographic characteristics, participation in this system has a distinct integrative influence. We conclude by hypothesising that this is due to the structure of the Austrian transition system offering pathways back to mainstream educational systems and formally recognised educational qualifications.

The basic qualitative characteristics and quantitative parameters of these objects are clarified, examples of their successful spatial strategizing, as well as the substantive implementation of planning, forecasting and urban planning decisions that took place in the Baltic region countries are given. The specifics of the process of "urban-regional construction" are revealed. The predominant forms of spatial co-organization of typologically differentiated urbanized regions are revealed. A model of designing an innovative structure of urbanized settlement based on the St. Petersburg agglomeration is proposed.
Proposals for territorial planning of the desert region of Syria
Authors: Alsus Makhammad M. , Scherbina Elena V.
Published: April 2022

The restoration of the territories of Syria, destroyed as a result of the crisis and the war of 2011, determines the need to develop proposals for territorial planning as the basis for the implementation of urban development activities in the regions. Based on the systematization of the processes occurring in the "Region" system, proposals were formulated for the territorial planning of the Desert Region of the SAR, which has a significant territorial resource. Based on the concept of sustainable development, the expediency of developing the energy industry based on renewable energy sources of the sun and wind as biospherically compatible, having a lower impact on the environment in comparison with power plants operating on other types of fuel (coal, oil, gas) is shown. Approximate estimates of the theoretical potential of solar and wind energy on the territory of the Desert Region are given, based on data from the Global sun Atlas and Global Wind Atlas. The determination of territories promising for the placement of wind and solar power plants was carried out taking into account the existing land use by sequentially excluding already occupied sites using Openmaps software. Proposals for the territorial planning of the Desert region are formulated, justifying the location of new energy facilities in the region, ensuring economic growth and allowing a balanced use of natural potential.
"Vertical city" as the basis of the concept of dynamic vertical urbanism
Authors: Veretennikov Dmitrii B. , Kozlova Marina A.
Published: April 2022

The article raises the question of the need to create a comfortable living environment in modern megalopolises by building "vertical cities", since multifunctional complexes are an effective and rational means of increasing the density of urban development and the environment as a whole, while simultaneously creating its multi-level per unit area of ​​the urban area. The article presents some examples of foreign experience in the construction of multi-level urban complexes. Attention is drawn to the fact that the concept of "vertical city" is not limited only to indicators of the height of buildings, but also demonstrates the ability to adapt in response to urban transformations. The concept of dynamic vertical urbanism is proposed, the basis of which is the constant vertical transformation of the city through the use of modern design and construction technologies.

Main Models of Medical and Psychological Work for Prevention of Repeated Drunk Driving (International Experience)
Authors: Bedina I.A. , Burtsev A.A. , Kochetova T.V.
Published: April 2022

The article analyses foreign scientific data and looks into the medical and psychological aspect of modern system of prevention of recurring crimes arising from drunk driving. Eco-nomically developed countries are shown to have obligatory medical and psychological in-terventions as part of their process of re-authorization to drive, and the scale and duration of such interventions depend on the legal framework of a particular state. Generalization of the material studied by the authors of the article led to formulation of a few organizational work models for medical practitioners and psychologists to help them prevent recurring drunk driving. The first model suggests that preventive measures are only aimed to raise of-fending drivers’ awareness of alcohol and drug addiction. The second model demands that the authorities assess the mental health and psychological preparedness for safe driving in offending drivers. The compulsory therapeutic and rehabilitation measures for persons ad-dicted to psychoactive substances in these countries are not included in drunk driving pre-vention system. The third model involves extended and long-term therapeutic and rehabili-tation programs for persons who indulged in drunk driving. Such programs include reveal-ing one’s unconscious motivations along with subsequent transformation of one’s former convictions and customary behavioral patterns. The authors believe that the "extended out-come" of these programs can be seen as an advantage of this model, since overcoming one’s addiction has a positive impact on all social aspects of one’s life activity. The authors point out the social and economical effectiveness of the models under discussion and sub-stantiate their applicability in the domestic system of recurrent drunk driving prevention.

The work is focused on revealing psychological characteristics of pregnant women con-demned to prison sentence. Among other things, we studied their attitudes towards their pregnancy, the coming child, mother’s role and motherhood in general. The materials pre-sented are from an empirical study we carried out in 2020 on a sample of 72 pregnant women serving their prison sentences in penal colonies and open prisons of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Social and demographic as well as criminological parame-ters were studied along with their relationship with characteristics found through psycho-logical methodologies. A questionnaire was used which reflected the respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics. The data related to their criminal-law and correctional charac-teristics were filled in by the personnel in the questionnaire Characteristics of Convicted Pregnant Women. The psychological aspect was studied using the following: 1) Maternal-Foetal Attachment Scale by J. T. Condon; 2) Test of a Pregnant Woman’s Attitudes by I.V. Dobryakov; 3) Methodology for Diagnostics of Psychic States by H.J. Eysenck; 4) My Pregnancy questionnaire; 5) “My Child and I” drawing test by G.G. Filippova. As the re-sults of the study suggest, a pregnant woman can be put into one of three groups needing a specific approach for their prenatal preparation.

Authors: Al-Zamil Mustafa Kh. , Kulikova Natalia G. , Vasilieva Ekaterina S. , Elfimov Mikhail A.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: Allodynia, hyperalgesia, and positive sensory symptoms are the main symptoms of neuropathic pain. Studying these symptoms and their dynamics in the treatment of neuropathic pain broadens our understanding of neuropathic pain and how it can be treated.
AIMS: To study the effect of different TENS modalities on allodynia in patients with severe neuropathic pain syndrome developed against the background of diabetic distal polyneuropathy of the lower extremities.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 75 patients with allodynia on the background of distal polyneuropathy of the lower extremities (DPLE) were treated with pharmacotherapy (n=26), high-frequency TENS (n=25), and low-frequency TENS (n=24).
RESULTS: Immediately after treatment, we observed a more pronounced decrease in allodynia after the application of high-frequency TENS (by 72.2%) and low-frequency TENS (by 61.1%). Moreover, in the control group, the regression of allodynia averaged 28.6%. At the 2nd month of the long-term period, the severity of allodynia continued to decrease more rapidly against the background of high-frequency TENS (26.7%) than after low-frequency TENS (19%) and remained without significant dynamics against the background of pharmacotherapy.
CONCLUSION: The use of TENS 1.3 times enhances the therapeutic effect of pharmacotherapy in treatment of neuropathic pain in patients with diabetic DPLE. High-frequency TENS is more effective than low-frequency TENS in the treatment of allodynia by 18.2% immediately after treatment and by 40% at the end of the 2nd long-term period. By the 6th month of the long-term period, the results of treatment in both groups did not differ significantly.

Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment of scarring of the skin is reduced in patients with impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and the use of drinking mineral water is proposed for their correction of metabolic reactions, but the long-term results of using this technology have not been studied.
AIMS: To study the long-term results of treatment of patients with scarring of the skin after the use of photothermolysis, fermencol ultraphonophoresis and internal intake of mineral water, taking into account the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We observed 120 patients with scarring of the skin, 60 of them with metabolic syndrome. The patients were randomly selected into 2 groups: with and without metabolic syndrome, each of which was further subdivided into 2 subgroups according to the treatment method: the first was standard therapy, fractional photothermolysis, fermencol ultraphonophoresis, the second was a similar complex supplemented with internal intake of Essentuki No. 17 mineral water. Glucose, insulin, body mass index, malondialdehyde were determined in the blood of all patients
RESULTS: It was found that in patients with metabolic syndrome, the duration of maintaining the achieved therapeutic effects decreases after 6 months of observation, whereas against the background of taking mineral water, this period is extended by 34 months. An additional course of mineral water to physiotherapy treatment effectively corrects metabolic reactions and helps to reduce insulin resistance.
CONCLUSION: The use of drinking mineral waters, which have a pronounced activating effect on the insulin regulation of metabolic reactions by reducing resistance to this hormone, allows you to maintain favorable changes in metabolism and energy for at least six months, which contributes to the consolidation of the therapeutic effects of complex physiotherapy and to a certain extent has a preventive potential.

Blood transfusion in the clinic of children's diseases
Authors: Basyr F. X.
Published: April 2022

Blood transfusion for adults is widely used, and there is a lot of data in the Soviet medical literature that comprehensively covers this issue. Unfortunately, we are still lagging behind in the matter of blood transfusions to children. Meanwhile, for a child, especially for a young child, adult blood transfusion is a powerful therapeutic tool. The blood of an adult gives the child not only the missing red blood cells, but also immune bodies, with which the adult is in most cases richer than the child. Therefore, each blood transfusion of an adult to a child can be considered as a kind of immunotransfusion.

It would not be a mistake if we say that the treatment of fibroids and menopausal bleeding was a touchstone in the development of all deep radiotherapy. It has been more than 30 years since this method of treating fibroids and menopausal bleeding has been successfully used, and yet, unfortunately, the majority of our gynecologists are still very little familiar with the clinic of radiotherapy of fibroids.
Some features of the interpretation of radiographs of the human temporomandibular joint
Authors: Nasibullin G. G.
Published: April 2022

A change in the relative position of the elements of the temporomandibular joint, depending on the functional displacements of the lower jaw, can be mistakenly interpreted as subluxation and dislocation of the joint heads. An important condition that helps to avoid diagnostic errors in X-ray examination is the correct position of the patient's lower jaw at the time of exposure. Obtaining identical radiographs of the temporomandibular joint is achieved using a craniostat that unifies the styling.

Authors: Arkhipova G. R. , Fedorov R. V. , Valeev M. R.
Published: April 2022

65 children with sepsis at the age of 1 month and older were examined. up to a year. It was found that the indicators of immunity in patients, even in the first months of life, are higher than in healthy people. The activity of intracellular enzymes and immunoglobulins M and G increased significantly, especially in septicemia; in patients with the first three months of life and in the toxico-dystrophic phase of the disease, they were somewhat lower. The data obtained indicate a sufficient activity of the child's immunity in case of septic infection.

Published: April 2022

Analysis of the immediate results of cystectomy in 159 patients showed that, in order to prevent peritonitis after cystectomy with ureterocoloanastomosis, it is advisable to combine intraoperative novocaine blockade of the nervous intermesenteric tract with ureter transplantation into the sigmoid part of the intestine below the sacro-lumbar joint or into the rectum, the rectum. In operations of bladder replacement with an intestinal graft (122 patients), a double-row uretero-intestinal anastomosis and suprapubic drainage of the intestinal reservoir are recommended. This significantly reduces the possibility of developing urinary peritonitis.

About the doctor's attitude to euthanasia
Authors: Shamov I. A.
Published: April 2022

The issue of euthanasia - the acceleration of the death of a patient in a terminal state, at the request of the patient or his relatives - is one of the most difficult issues of medical morality and medical duty. Modern moral and legal considerations reject the possibility of euthanasia. The doctor must, with all the means at his disposal, fight for the patient's life until his last heartbeat. Practice confirms these theses at every step, because what seemed incurable yesterday is already amenable to treatment today. Particularly striking evidence of the inadmissibility of euthanasia are the successes of reanimatology in recent years.
