The Terraces of the Anti-Atlas: From Abandonment to the Risk of Degradation of a Landscape Heritage
Authors: Sabir Mohamed
Published: February 2021

The Anti-Atlas is subject to an intense rural exodus. The agricultural terraces built for several centuries have been abandoned. They are gradually deteriorating. The risks of runoff and erosion are becoming significant. The objective was to study the effect of the abandonment of terraces on the risks of runoff and erosion in the territory of two villages, Tizerkine and Timzemzit. After the characterization of the soil surface conditions, the extent of erosion and the risk of runoff were qualified according to the age of abandonment. Erosion was assessed by estimating the “soil surface factor” (PAP/CAR method) and infiltration by the double ring method. The abandonment of the terraces has led to a reduction in the plant cover of the soil surface and its opening and to enhancing its compaction. The risk of runoff is high. A year of abandonment reduced the infiltration from 301.8 mm/h (SD: 105.8 mm/h) to 129.6 mm/h (SD: 28.9 mm/h). Furthermore, 5 years of abandonment reduced it to 62.9 mm/h (SD: 14.9 mm/h). The walls of the terraces are gradually being destroyed with an increasing age of abandonment. More than half (57%) of the terraced slope surface has suffered moderate to high water erosion. More than 11% of the surfaces are severely degraded after 20 years of abandonment. The heritage made up of these managed slopes is being lost. Particular attention must be paid to these landscapes in order to better rehabilitate and develop them.
Numerical Evaluation of Fractional Vertical Soil Water Flow Equations
Authors: Ercan Ali , Kavvas M.
Published: February 2021

Significant deviations from standard Boltzmann scaling, which corresponds to normal or Fickian diffusion, have been observed in the literature for water movement in porous media. However, as demonstrated by various researchers, the widely used conventional Richards equation cannot mimic anomalous diffusion and ignores the features of natural soils which are heterogeneous. Within this framework, governing equations of transient water flow in porous media in fractional time and multi-dimensional fractional soil space in anisotropic media were recently introduced by the authors by coupling Brooks–Corey constitutive relationships with the fractional continuity and motion equations. In this study, instead of utilizing Brooks–Corey relationships, empirical expressions, obtained by least square fits through hydraulic measurements, were utilized to show the suitability of the proposed fractional approach with other constitutive hydraulic relations in the literature. Next, a finite difference numerical method was proposed to solve the fractional governing equations. The applicability of the proposed fractional governing equations was investigated numerically in comparison to their conventional counterparts. In practice, cumulative infiltration values are observed to deviate from conventional infiltration approximation, or the wetting front through time may not be consistent with the traditional estimates of Richards equation. In such cases, fractional governing equations may be a better alternative for mimicking the physical process as they can capture sub-, super-, and normal-diffusive soil water flow processes during infiltration.

The acquisition of reliable and accurate data to assess environmental changes over large spatial scales is one of the main limitations to determine the impact of eutrophication, and the effectiveness of management strategies in coastal systems. Here, we used a continuous in situ Chl-a fluorometry sensor and L8/OLI satellite data to develop an algorithm and map Chl-a spatial distribution to assess the impact of freshwater diversions and associated high nutrient loading rates in the Barataria Basin (BB) complex, a coastal system in the northern Gulf of Mexico. We collected water quality samples at 24 sampling stations and high-frequency continuous fluorometry in situ [Chl-a] data along a ~87 km transect from 2019–2020. Field [Chl-a] values were highly correlated (r = 0.86; p < 0.0001) with continuous in situ [Chl-a] fluorometry values. These continuous in situ [Chl-a] values were significantly related to a surface reflectance ratio ([B1 + B4]/B3) estimated using L8/OLI data (exponential model; R2 = 0.46; RMSE = 4.8, p < 0.0001). The statistical model replicated [Chl-a] spatial patterns across the BB complex. This work shows the utility of high-frequency continuous Chl-a fluorometry sampling coupled with L8/OLI image analysis to increase the frequency and number of field data sets to assess water quality conditions at large spatial scales in highly dynamic deltaic regions.
FILM AS IDENTIFICATION EXPERIENCE. DESIGN OF OTHER WORLDS IN A SCI-FI MOVIE
Authors: Konfederat O.
Published: February 2021

In terms of the multicultural modern world, the question of identity is especially actual. Visual arts and cultural practices have very good opportunities for creating spatial-plastic environments that stimulate the viewer's identification processes through the sensory-emotional and cognitive mastering of these images-environments. The object of research is the modeling of plastic media in sci-fi movies of the 1970-80s. Research methods was the disposition adopted in visualistics (verbalization of a visible object), phenomenological reduction of a visual image to a subject-plastic referent, and hermeneutics. As a result of the study, it was determinrd that the subject-plastic (design) environment of the visual image is a sensually perceived model of cultural identity offered by the movie. In the process of comparing oneself to this model, the viewer experiences an identification experience.

za sv. Franju Asiškoga i njegov spontani pristup prirodi. To je potvrdila i
Katolička Crkva kada ga je 29. studenog 1979. proglasila zaštitnikom djelatnika
ekologije. Sv. Franjo bio je kao svetac poznat po svojoj jedinstvenoj

Can the Use of Health Insurance Claim Data Benefit the Risk-Based Supervision of General Practitioner Practices? An Exploratory Study in the Netherlands
Authors: Kool Rudolf Bertijn , Akkermans Reinier Peter , Borghans Ine , Brouwers Corline , Ranke Sander
Published: February 2021

Background: The Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate has organized a study investigating whether there are benefits to using claim data in the risk-based supervision of general practitioner (GP) practices. Methods: We identified and selected signals of risks based on interviews with experts. Next, we selected 3 indicators that could be measured in the claim database. These were: the expected and actual costs of the GP practice; the percentage of reserve antibiotics prescribed; and the percentage of patients undergoing an emergency admission during the weekend. We corrected the scores of the GP practices based on their casemix and identified practices with the most unfavorable scores, ‘red flags,’ in 2015, or the trend between 2013-2015. Finally, we analysed the data of GP practices already identified as delivering substandard care by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate and calculated the sensitivity and specificity of using the indicators to identify poor performing GP practices. Results: By combining the 3 indicators, we identified 1 GP practice with 3 red flags and 24 GP practices with 2 red flags. The a priori chance of identifying a GP practice that shows substandard care is 0.3%. Using the indicators, this improved to 1.0%. The sensitivity was 26.7%, the specificity was 92.8%. Conclusion: The Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate might use claim data to calculate indicators on costs, the prescribing of reserve antibiotics and emergency admissions during the weekend, when setting priorities for its visits to GP practices. Visiting more GP practices by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate, and identifying substandard care, is necessary to validate the use of these indicators.
The Practice of Power by Regional Managers in the Implementation of an Indigenous Peoples Health Policy in the Philippines
Authors: Guinaran Ryan C. , Alupias Erlinda B. , Gilson Lucy
Published: February 2021

Background: Indigenous peoples are among the most marginalized groups in society. In the Philippines, a new policy aimed at ensuring equity and culture-sensitivity of health services for this population was introduced. The study aimed to determine how subnational health managers exercised power and with what consequences for how implementation unfolded. Power is manifested in the perception, decision and action of health system actors. The study also delved into the sources of power that health managers drew on and their reasons for exercising power. Methods: The study was a qualitative case study employing in-depth semi-structured interviews with 26 health managers from the case region and analysis of 15 relevant documents. Data from both sources were thematically analyzed following the framework method. In the analysis and interpretation of data on power, VeneKlasen and Miller’s categorization of the sources and expressions of power and Gilson, Schneider and Orgill’s categorization of the sources and reasons for exercising power were utilized. Results: Key managers in the case region perceived the implementation of the new Indigenous health policy as limited and weakly integrated into health operations. The forms of power exercised by actors in key administrative interfaces were greatly influenced by organizational context and perceived weak leadership and their practices of power hindered policy implementation. However, some positive experiences showed that personal commitment and motivation rooted in one’s indigeneity enabled program managers to mobilize their discretionary power to support policy implementation. Conclusion: The way power is exercised by policy actors at key interfaces influences the implementation and uptake of the Indigenous policy by the health system. Middle managers are strategic actors in translating central directions to operational action down to frontlines. Indigenous program managers are most likely to support an Indigenous health policy but personal and organizational factors can also override this inclination.
THE ROLE OF FACEBOOK IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN MOROCCO
Authors: Harrizi Meriem , Salim Amine
Published: February 2021

The study investigates the factors that inspire Moroccans to engage in both online and offline civic efforts. The inquiry targeted demographics, frequency of Facebook use, the influence of online engagement on participation in real life and the main motivations behind Moroccan civic engagement online. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were adopted to collect and analyze both primary and secondary data. An online survey was administered to (n=277) participants through Facebook targeting the general public of Moroccan Facebook users to collect primary data. Secondary data was collected via semi-structured interviews with (n=3) social activists to provide a comprehensive view of both normal citizens and people who can be considered specialists in the field. The findings revealed the extent to which Moroccans’ usage of Facebook influences their engagement both online and offline, indicating that social media use for civic purposes is significantly related to offline participation. Despite that, higher levels of the so-called “slacktivism” behaviors dominate Moroccans’ civic activities performed on Facebook. Findings in general support the fact that Facebook plays a significant role in the development of civic engagement in Morocco.

Published: February 2021

The present study aims at investigating the impact of modernity on the youth culture. Generally, regarding the discernible changes in youth lifestyle, thought, attitudes, and language, it turned out to be paramount to query the driving forces responsible for such changes. Accordingly, this study is intended to inspect three significant issues connected with the topic at stake. First, it reveals how the status of females has changed as reflected in different feminine discursive practices, as well as some differences in the linguistic choices of young males and females and some of their implications. Second, it highlights the role of education in the empowerment of youth and the improvement of their attitudes towards their society. Lastly, it scrutinizes the impact of different social media on youth in the Moroccan context. In order for the study to have a sense of authenticity, a bundle of data was collated and studied in the light of the topic in question.

В статье рассматриваются предпосылки, приведшие к открытию в Екатеринодаре (ныне - Краснодар) отделения ИРМО (1900), возобновлению его деятельности после прекращения работы в связи с финансовыми трудностями (1905) и избранию в 1907 году шести выдающихся русских музыкантов - Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, М. А. Балакирева, Ц. А. Кюи, Э. Ф. Направника, А. К. Глазунова и С. В. Рахманинова - его почетными членами. Это событие широкой огласке не предавалось и упоминалось только в официальных изданиях ИРМО. В основу исследования легли документы из фондохранилищ Отдела рукописей Российской национальной библиотеки, Центрального государственного исторического архива Санкт-Петербурга, Государственного архива Краснодарского края, а также материалы центральной и региональной периодической печати начала ХХ века. В статье представлены ответные благодарственные письма Римского-Корсакова, Балакирева, Кюи и Направника и грамота на звание почетного члена отделения Кюи; впервые публикуются их факсимиле. В настоящее время ответные письма выдающихся русских музыкантов хранятся в Государственном архиве Краснодарского края, куда поступили из Краснодарского музыкального училища. Не оформленные соответствующим образом, они на протяжении более трех десятилетий находятся в одном из сейфов и являются недоступными. Их факсимиле, представленные в статье, воспроизводятся с копий из личного архива автора, сделанных в 1981 году.

The article examines the preconditions that led to the opening of the IRMO branch in Ekaterinodar (now Krasnodar) (1900), the resumption of its activities after the termination of work due to financial difficulties (1905) and the election in 1907 of six outstanding Russian musicians-Ri msky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Cui, Napravnik, Glazunov and Rachmaninov as its honorary members. This fact was not widely publicized and were mentioned only in the official documents of the IRMO. The study is based on documents from the depositories of the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg, the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory, as well as materials from the central and regional periodicals of the early 20 century. The article presents letters of thanks from Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Cui and Napravnik and Cui's certificate for the title of honorary member of the branch and for the first time reproduces facsimiles of these historical sources. At present, the letters of reply from outstanding Russian musicians are kept in the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory, where they were received from the Krasnodar Music School. Not properly executed, these documents have been stored in one of the safes for more than three decades and are not available. The facsimiles of the documents presented in the article are reproduced from copies from the author's personal archive, made in 1981.
“L'ecume des jours”: From the Novel to the Opera Libretto
Authors: Словохотова Вероника Юрьевна
Published: February 2021

Статья посвящена сравнительному анализу либретто оперы Эдисона Денисова «Пена дней» и одноименного романа Бориса Виана. Автор предпринимает попытку восстановить процесс создания оперного текста и проследить, как эпическое произведение, исполненное гротескно-фантастических элементов, трансформировалось в лирическую драму. На материале двух вариантов либретто и трех режиссерских постановок показано, что главной героиней оперы является джазовая композиция Дюка Эллингтона «Хлоя», а центральной проблемой - взаимоотношение художника и искусства в мире, где человеческая жизнь обесценена. Отказываясь в последних картинах от псевдокарнавальной поэтики романа, композитор противопоставляет виановской насмешке над инфантильными обитателями своей вселенной идею вечной светоносной красоты.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the libretto of Edison Denisov's opera “Froth on the Daydream” and the novel of the same name by Boris Vian. The author makes an attempt to restore the process of creating an opera text and to trace how an epic work full of grotesque-fantastic elements was transformed into a lyrical drama. Based on the material of two versions of the libretto and three directorial productions, it is shown in the study that Duke Ellington's jazz composition “Chloe” is the main character of the opera, and the central problem is the relationship between the artist and art in a world where human life is worthless. Refusing in the last pictures from the pseudo-carnival poetics of the novel, the composer contrasts the Vianian mockery of the infantile inhabitants of his universe with the idea of eternal luminous beauty that is unable to die.

Статья посвящена особенностям уникальной художественной системы итальянского композитора Лучано Берио (1925-2003) под названием музыкальная фонология, представленной на примере сочинения «Visage» (1961). В 1950-х годах Берио и его коллеги по электроакустической студии Studio di Fonologia Musicale были увлечены фонологией как разделом лингвистики, опираясь на фундаментальный труд Н. С. Трубецкого «Основы фонологии». Основные аспекты данной книги Берио творчески интегрировал в сочинения для голоса и постепенно выработал новый подход к единству слова и музыкального звука.

The article is devoted to the features of the unique artistic system of the Italian composer Luciano Berio (1925-2003) called musical phonology, presented on the example of the composition “Visage” (1961). In the 1950s, Berio and his colleagues at the electroacoustic studio Studio di Fonologia Musicale were interested about phonology as a branch of linguistics, based on the fundamental work of N. S. Trubetskoy “Fundamentals of phonology.” The main aspects of this book Berio creatively embodied in compositions for voice and gradually developed in his work a new approach to the unity of words and musical sound.

Published: February 2021

The complex of macromicroscopic methods has revealed the features of the sulci structure of the brain’s occipital lobe medial surface. Macromicroscopic, morphometric, topographic and anatomical, statistical and mathematical analysis were used. The sulci of the medial surface of the brain's occipital lobe are classified into permanent, typical and non-permanent. The complex of anatomical structures of the medial surface of the brain's occipital lobe includes the parietooccipital sulcus, calcarine sulcus, cuneus, calcarine spur, additional sulci. The parietooccipital and calcarine sulci are divided into segments: posterior (distal process), anterior (proximal process), common (common area). The parietooccipital sulcus is connected to the anterior end of the calcarine sulcus at 98,5 %. The length of the parietooccipital sulcus is min 16,0 mm and max 58 mm, M=35,8 mm, depth is min 9,0 mm and max 43,0 mm, M=24,3 mm. It was found that in 35 % of cases, the posterior end of the calcarine sulcus does not reach the apex (angle) of the occipital lobe of the brain by min 2,0 mm and max 14,0 mm, M=7,8 mm. In 43 % the posterior end of the calcarine sulcus bifurcates. The distance between the posterior end of the calcarine sulcus and the upper end of the parietooccipital sulcus is min 18,0 mm and max 64,0 mm, M=39,8 mm. The length of the calcarine sulcus is min 37 mm and max 79 mm, M=54 mm. The depth of the anterior part of the calcarine sulcus is min 8,0 mm and max 36,0 mm, M=20,7 mm; the depth of the posterior part is min 5,0 mm and max 22,0 mm, M=12,8 mm.
Morphological changes in the walls of varicose veins of the lower extremities during minimally invasive surgical treatment
Authors: Cherkasheninov E.G.
Published: February 2021

The vein wall was investigated in the treatment of patients with varicose veins by endovenous laser and radiofrequency ablation. Fragments of removed veins with varicose veins served as material for pathomorphological research. The following histological staining methods were used: hematoxylin and eosin, van Gieson’s picrofuchsin with additional staining on elastica, according to Mallory. It has been shown, that with varicose veins of the lower extremities, pronounced irreversible morphological changes develop in the vein wall in the form of damage to endothelial cells, hypertrophy of all layers of the vein wall, total development of connective tissue in it with impaired collagen structure both in the basement membrane of endothelial cells and in muscle and elastic layers. Changes in the structure of collagen in the vein wall can be traced in all studied groups, which seems possible, since the treatment with minimally invasive methods is carried out against the background of already altered venous trunks. At the same time, injuries in the vein wall are most pronounced when using endovenous laser coagulation of veins and are accompanied by frequent pain in the postoperative period. The latter is confirmed by morphological changes in the form of total necrosis of the vein wall with necrosis and complete desquamation of the endothelium into the lumen of the vessel. Damage to the wall of the vein of the lower extremities, altered by a chronic current process with varicose veins, including its endothelium and all layers, is minimized when using radiofrequency ablation. Accordingly, cicatrization of surrounding fabrics in the zone of action of radiofrequency ablation will pass in more short spaces and with a favourable end for a patient, that it is confirmed by the less number of paresthesias and sickliness on motion a vein in a postoperative period.
Clinical typology and mechanisms of psychogenesis of states of psychological maladaptation of internship doctors
Authors: Vyun V.V.
Published: February 2021

A comprehensive examination of 213 interns of both sexes was carried out. A system of psychotherapeutic correction of maladaptive states and psycho-preventive support of interns during the period of professional training has been developed. Levels of adaptation of internship doctors for professional activity were emphasized: high (14,1 %), average (20,2 %) and low level (65,7 %). It was described the asthenical (25,8 % of men and 22,5 % of women), hypersthenic (20,6 % of men and 23,2 % of women), anxiodepressive (11,3 % and 20,6 % respectively), psychosomatic (14,5 % of men and 18,1 % of women), asthenic-apathetical (12,3 % and 11,2 % respectively) and addictive (15,5 % of men and 4,4 % of women) variants of maladaptive reactions among the internship doctors. The developed model of the formation of disorders of adaptation of internship doctors is presented by a complex of pathogenic factors. It was established that the basis for the formation of maladaptive reactions among the internship doctors is the presence of somatic pathology, craniocerebral injury and neuroinfection in the anamnesis and the tendency to addictive behavior. Prognostically important factors in the formation of adaptation disorders are conflicts of family and professional relations, disturbing suspiciousness, low communicativeness, difficult working conditions, lack of positive emotions, awareness of inadequate level of competence, low level of motivation, and imperfectiveness of mechanisms of psychological protection. Triggers for the development of maladaptive states are the high level of professional stress, depletion of adaptation, prolonged mental stress, frustration of significant basic needs, and high rates of clinical scale of anxiety and depression HDRS. An individualized three-stage system of medical and psychological support during the professional training period, which involves the application of complex psychodiagnostic, psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational and psychoprophylactic influences, has been developed and tested.
Assessment of psychosocial support in the family with cancer patient
Authors: Krivonis T.G.
Published: February 2021

Oncology patients experience high levels of stress both physically and psychologically, which can cause a lack of personal psychological resources. Psychosocial help is able to compensate the lack and be the basis for the recovery of patients in the future. On the base of informed consent, 286 cancer patients examined: 174 women and 114 men. Patients examined at different stages of the treatment process, namely, 78 women and 51 men were examined at the first episode of the disease, and 96 women and 63 men were examined after return of the disease or its relapse. Methods FACES-3, MSPSS were used in the study. It was shown, that in general women evaluated their own psychosocial resource more positively than men. The main source of support for patients, especially women, was family in comparison to significant others and friends. Families with a sufficient level of family adaptability characterized by high levels of psychosocial support, whereas impaired family functioning resulted in reduced external resources. Psychosocial help is an important component of complex psychological help for patients with cancer. The development of medical-psychological help measures should take into account the actual level of psychosocial support in patient and his / her perception by the participants of the treatment.
Types of interaction in the triad mother–child–father at the threat of preterm birth at the last trimester of pregnancy and after the birth as a criterion of differentiation of the measures of their medical-psychological support
Authors: Markova M. , Grinko N.
Published: February 2021

The study involved 150 women at 23–37 weeks of pregnancy: 120 women with the threat of premature birth (main group, MG), 30 women with the physiological course of pregnancy (comparison group, CG) and their husbands. The types of interaction in the mother–child–father triad with the threat of premature birth and after childbirth have been studied. A psychodiagnostic study revealed a reliably high level of the average value of reactive and personal anxiety in women with MG. The average indicator of the level of depression is higher in the MG, where there are cases of subdepressive state and severe depression, in the CG the latter was not revealed. According to the Cranley scale, at the first stage of the study, the level of attachment to the fetus in women from MG was (71,0±1,0) points (attachment disorder), in women from CG was (51,0±2,0) points (sufficient level of attachment), p<0,05. With the help of the «Pregnant Attitude Test», the prevailing type of woman’s attitude to her unborn child was determined in terms of the course of pregnancy. It was found that in 20,8 % of women, the euphoric type predominates, 9,17 % had the optimal type, 9,17 % had hyponosognosic type, 2,5 % had anxious type, 3,33 % had depressive type. In 26,7 % of women, CG has the optimal type. There are no other types of attitudes towards pregnancy. In women with MG, disorientation prevails at all stages of the examination (41–46 people), the dependent type (35–36), autonomous (23–29), and avoidance of proximity much less often was (14–16), in women with CG, the autonomous type dominates (10–13), dependent type (8–10), and avoidance of proximity (4–9) little less often were and disorientation (3–4) much less often was. At each stage of the survey, the level of social support in the MG is reduced relative to that in the CG. It is noted that in both groups the level of social support on two scales such as the support of colleagues at work and public organizations is reduced.
Optimization of the treatment of polyomaviruse infection in patients after kidney transplantation
Authors: Zheleznikova M.O.
Published: February 2021

Immunosuppressive therapy is considered to be one of the main risk factors for replication of BK and JC polyomaviruses after kidney transplantation. The effective treatment regimens for dysfunction of the kidney transplantation have been studied in patients with chronic kidney disease V stage with polyomavirus infection. 97 patients with transplanted kidneys during the first year after transplantation were examined. The frequency of detection of BK and JC viruria, JC viruria and viremia was 5 (16.13 %). The frequency of BK viruria was 10 (32.26 %), isolated JC viruria – 2 (6.45 %) and ВК viruria – 1 (3.23 %), simultaneous detection of the JC і ВК viruses was observed in 3 (9.68 %). There are 12 patients with persistant ВК viruria and viremia who need to change immunosuppressive therapy. The median time to detection of persistant BK-viruria and viremia after transplantation in patients with tacrolimus was (12.29±7.16) weeks, in patients with cyclosporine was (12.29±7.16) weeks. The period for elimination of polyomavirus in patients with cyclosporine and mycophenolates included (13.00±5.13) weeks, and in patients with cyclosporine and everolimus included (7.00±2.58) weeks. This investigation revealed different patterns of the treatment of kidney transplant dysfunction caused by BK-polyomavirus infection. The first step in the treatment of BKV infection is reduction in immunosuppression. In this study, we did conversion from tacrolimus to cyclosporine or conversion from mycophenolates to everolimus with restriction of cyclosporine doses. The last strategy showed better results because period for elimination of polyomavirus was shorter.
Determination of The Critical Success Factors in Disaster Management Through The Text Mining Assisted Ahp Approach
Authors: Cebeci Halil İbrahim , Korkut Yasemin
Published: February 2021

In the academic field and as well as the application field, substantial attention has been drawn to coping with disasters. Since natural dangers causing a large proportion of disasters cannot be avoided, attempts to combat disasters have centered on preventing hazards from evolving into disasters through measures and restructuring works taken before, during, and after the disaster. There are many players involved in the disaster management process and many factors are influential in the effectiveness of this process. Among these factors, deciding the critical ones offers significant advantages, particularly in terms of practical studies. Concentrating on a single stakeholder in deciding the factors crucial to the success of this management structure, which has many stakeholders, can cause to ignoring the significant viewpoints of other stakeholder groups. Accordingly, for the evaluation of several success factors achieved as a result of a thorough and systematic literature review, the purpose of our study is to develop a common critical success factor model that will represent both the viewpoints of operational experts and academic experts, who constitute the stakeholders of this domain. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized to determine the opinions of field experts while the text mining method was used to determine the perspectives of academics. In the study, therefore, a new AHP model assisted by text mining is introduced. Socio-cultural factors were brought to light by the analysis results of the suggested model. It has been determined by the results of the study that these two perspectives are overlapped largely in the organizational field and relatively in socio-cultural, environmental, and legal fields.

Published: February 2021

En esta práctica se procederá a la determinación de la solubilidad a temperatura ambiente de dos sales (NaCl y KNO3), usando agua como disolvente. De esta forma, se constatará que la solubilidad de las sustancias depende de la naturaleza de dicha sustancia. Así mismo, se repetirá la determinación de la solubilidad de las mismas sales, pero esta vez subiendo el sistema a 70ºC, de forma que se demostrará que la solubilidad de una sustancia dada depende también de la temperatura.

En esta práctica se trabaja con el concepto de solubilidad, que se define como la cantidad máxima de un soluto que puede disolverse en 100 ml de un disolvente. Esta propiedad depende tanto de la naturaleza del soluto y del disolvente, así como de la temperatura. Para observar este hecho, se comparará la solubilidad de dos solutos distintos a temperatura ambiente y a 90ºC. Para ello, se determinará, usando una bureta, el volumen de agua (que se fija como disolvente) necesario para disolver 2 g del soluto. Con este dato, basta con establecer una relación para determinar la cantidad de soluto que se disolverían en 100 ml de agua. Asimismo, se observará que el valor de solubilidad es distinto para cada soluto y cada valor de temperatura.

Published: February 2021

The colonisation of Australia, at the end of the eighteenth century, coincided with the birth of (physical) anthropology. In Germany, it was the Enlightenment naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach who began to utilise human skulls as scientific evidence for his hypotheses on human diversity and origin. He assigned selected skulls to be representative of each of his five human ‘varieties’. Due to this very fact, Blumenbach’s own historiographical representation is ambiguous – he has been depicted as both the forerunner of race sciences that were to follow in the 1900s and the humanist and universalist defender of human unity and universal value in the times of slavery. This article discusses how Blumenbach throughout his writing on humanity incorporated his notion of Indigenous Australians. In 1775, he outlined a sequence of human skulls, including those of ‘New Hollanders’, long before he began to assemble his (in)famous skull collection. Roughly fifteen years later, he obtained the skulls of two Indigenous Australian men which then represented the ‘black race’ of his diversified South Pacific ‘Malay variety’. The ‘Neuholländer’ in Blumenbach’s work, arguably, also reflects the tension inherent in his aim to scientifically prove humanity’s unity on the basis of its diversity.

We examined how children (n=448) who met research criteria for separate vs. co-occurring DLD and dyslexia performed on school-based measures of academic functioning in reading and math between second and fourth grades. Growth curve models were used to examine the overall form of growth and differences between groups. Children with DLD and/or dyslexia in second grade showed early and persistent deficits on school-administered measures of reading and math. In second grade, children with typical development (TD) scored significantly higher than all other groups, children with DLD+dyslexia scored significantly lower than all other groups, and children with dyslexia-only and DLD-only did not differ from each other. Only small differences in growth rates were observed, and gaps in second grade did not close. Few children (20-27%) meeting research criteria for dyslexia and/or DLD had received specialized support services. Children with DLD only received services at less than half the rate of the dyslexia groups, despite similar levels of academic performance. Evidence of significant and persistent functional impacts on academic achievement support the validity of standard research criteria for dyslexia and DLD. Low rates of reported support services in these children —especially those with DLD-only— highlight the need to raise awareness of these disorders.

A pesquisa procurou analisar em que medida as novas tecnologias refletem na abordagem de diretrizes alternativas para a atuação do Administrador Judicial a partir do Projeto de Lei n. 10.220/2018, no que tange a publicidade dos atos recuperacionais e falimentares. Por meio da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica e em sites, analisou-se as modificações causadas na sociedade pelo uso da internet, o que surte efeitos inclusive no mundo jurídico. Com um olhar para o Direito Empresarial, abordou-se questões conceituais sobre Recuperação e Falências de empresas, enfatizando a figura do Administrador Judicial e sua atuação. Por meio do método de abordagem dedutivo, partiuse uma análise geral da influência do uso da internet na sociedade contemporânea e das obrigações do Administrador Judicial na perspectiva da Lei n.11.101/2005 até adentrar na proposta do Projeto de Lei n. 10.220/2018, no que tange à imposição ao Administrador Judicial de manutenção de um sítio eletrônico para conferir maior publicidade aos atos processuais. Empregando o método de procedimento monográfico, analisou-se a atuação de Administradores Judiciais das cidades de Santa Maria - RS e Porto Alegre - RS. Verificou-se que grande parte dos Administradores Judiciais mantém um sítio eletrônico com as principais informações e peças processuais, todavia, alguns apresentam acesso restrito às tais informações. Concluiu-se que as propostas de alterações do Projeto de Lei n. 10.220/2018 no sentido de utilizar as redes de internet para conferir maior publicidade e acesso aos processos falimentares e recuperacionais, consistirão em alterações positivas caso implementadas.
Bohdan Osadczuk jako rzecznik europejskiego dialogu cywilizacyjnego

Published: February 2021

The life and activity of the publicist, journalist and researcher Bohdan Osadchuk is a meaningful example of activities for the inter-civilisation dialogue. He was born in Galicia, which belonged to the Second Polish Republic, and he always treated Polish and Ukrainian cultures as his own. Osadchuk’s efforts to strengthen Polish-Ukrainian relations and understanding, as well as his cooperation with Jerzy Giedroyc, editor-in-chief of the Paris-based journal Kultura [Culture], which was unique in terms of content and influence, were of particular importance. The author of this article has collected and analysed little-known and so far undiscovered facts and previously unavailable archival documents. Bohdan Osadchuk grew up in a multicultural environment. Professing liberal values, he condemned all chauvinism. He managed to combine the identity of a Ukrainian emigrant with that of a European democrat. For seventy years, he lived in Berlin (1941–2011), where he graduated from the university and became recognised as a journalist Alexander Korab. He was known under this pseudonym to readers of German newspapers and the oldest Swiss daily newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung for decades. For over half a century, he wrote for this authoritative newspaper about the events in the Soviet Union, Poland, Ukraine and the countries of the socialist bloc. Moreover, when actively cooperating with German radio and television, he introduced Polish and Ukrainian issues to the media discourse. The communist special services of the People’s Republic of Poland and the Soviet Union hunted Bohdan Osadchuk, watched him and tried to recruit him. But he was playing his own game and was not fooled. This article also describes Osadchuk’s scientific achievements that he gained as a professor at the Free University of Berlin (Freie Universität Berlin) and the Ukrainian Free University in Munich, as well as the author of fundamental publications. Moreover, the circumstances of the last years of Osadchuk’s life, which ended in Poland, are presented for the first time.

Alginates extracted from brown seaweed have a variety of prospective applications such as thickeners, stabilizers, or restructuring agents. Due to its properties as a natural polysaccharide, alginate is very potential to be used as edible films for food packaging purposes. Edible films are developed for food protection being excellent barriers to gases but not to moisture. Incorporation of antimicrobial agents into edible film formulation can extend product shelf life and reduce the risk of pathogenic bacterial growth on food. Therefore, this study was aimed to develop an alginate based antibacterial edible film. Antibacterial agent extracted from lemongrass leaves using ethanol was employed. The study was conducted by varying the addition levels of lemongrass ethanol extract to the alginate based edible films, i.e. 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%. Before being added to the alginate based edible films, the lemongrass ethanol extract was investigated for its antibacterial activity. The edible films obtained were analyzed in terms of physical, mechanical and chemical and microbiological parameters, including thickness, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), brightness, tensile strength, elongation, moisture content, water solubility and antibacterial activity. Results showed that the higher addition levels of lemongrass ethanol extract tended to produce alginate based edible films with lower WVTR and brightness value as well as higher elongation, moisture content and water solubility. Edible film added with lemongrass ethanol extract resulted in this study demonstrated antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The addition of lemongrass alcohol extract at 0.5% was considered as a recommended concentration level for producing alginate based antibacterial edible films.

In multistoreyed RCC framed buildings, critical damages are due to seismic ground excitations, which cause catastrophic failuresat the weaker locations. Buildings with two types of structural irregularities namely diaphragm discontinuity and open ground story are considered. Assessment of seismic vulnerability of these buildings is done by using Nonlinear Static Pushover Analysis (NSPA). Performance Based Seismic Design of masonry infilled RCC buildings with two different shape of openings in the diaphragm is considered here with Design Basis Earthquake(DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake(MCE) where by selecting appropriate performance criteria in terms of Inter-story drift ratio(IDR) and Inelastic displacement demand ratio(IDDR) are critically observed. The Equivalent Linearization Procedure of Pushover analysis presented in FEMA 440, which is a modification of Capacity Spectrum Method based on ATC-40 guidelines, is performed in ETABS-2016 to study the performance of R.C.C. buildings with diaphragm discontinuity, designed as per IS-1893-2016.

“Digital India” scheme announced by current administration initially had many detractors. But with its finger on the correct pulse of Young, Emergent India, much facilitations were provided with the sole aim to bridge technology with the masses. Hence today smart phones, laptops and computers have become house-hold names even in previously inaccessible areas. But on the down-side we also see a severe increase in crimes committed using computers and internet. Technology is an ever-changing phenomenon. It keeps changing, updating and even reviving itself. Crime has parallelly evolved with the evolution of newer technologies and high-end equipments and tool. With the metamorphosis of criminal-activities from physical world to digital realm, a perpetrator can easily plan, execute and accomplish a crime without being actually physically present at the site of crime, thus making it difficult for investigators, law enforcement officials and traditional legal systems completely depending on physical evidence to recognize the real culprit or to determine guilt and decide the degree of punishment. Using a desktop system or a laptop or even a Smartphone, the criminal can exploit the power of internet, Bluetooth ,Wi-Fi technologies , 4G data-transfer speeds and web-servers to execute an unlawful act sitting miles away from the place where the actual crime happens thereafter leaving absolutely no physical trail of the execution of the offence. Under these conditions, it becomes imperative to utilize digital footprints as they are the only way to determine the factuality of execution of an unlawful act and to identify the real culprit. As the guiding principle of IPC goes "Innocent until proven guilty", digital footprints have to be given their rightful due in the existing Judicial system to help in confirming execution of an unlawful act, detecting the actual culprit and determining the amount of punishment. This paper attempts to highlight the significance of digital footprints and usage of the same by the existing Justice Systems to corroborate, attest and substantiate the execution of an unlawful act.
