Authors: Mihiretie Abinet
Published: November 2021

In this study an effort has been made to identify suitable sites for safe disposal. For proper identification and selection of appropriate sites for solid waste disposal careful and systematic procedures need to be adopted and followed. The main objective of this research was identified the suitable solid waste disposal site by using the GIS-based approaches in Debre markos town. The present study had considered various factors like road networks; rivers, soil, slope, altitude and land use/ land cover for selecting a suitable solid waste disposal site within the study area. The relative weights of the factor were estimated using AHP and factor maps were developed by using GIS spatial operations. The final weighted factor map produced an overall solid waste disposal suitability map. The solid waste disposal site suitability map was presented in four suitability index such as highly suitable, moderately suitable, low suitable and unsuitable. The result shows that around 21% area is highly suitable for solid waste disposal site, 25% is moderately suitable, 28% of study area has low suitable and 26% area is unsuitable for solid waste disposal site.

Authors: Njagi Shadrack , Lejju Julius , Nkurunungi John
Published: November 2021

Socioeconomic, political, and policy decisions by the government may influence the socioecological changes of the land use and land cover pattern for rangeland people over time. This paper examines the historical political, policy, and socioeconomic decisions that influenced land use and land cover changes in the former pastoral community in Sanga-Lake Mburo Rangeland Ecosystem in South Western Uganda. Data on historical events were documented from literature and supplemented by an opportunistic discussion with Sanga residents. Data on land use and cover change detection between 1987 and 2020 were provided by Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS images and from field observations. Images were processed using QGIS version 3.20.1 employing a semi-automatic classification plugin. Political decisions and government policies related to land tenure and reforms, socioeconomics, and demographic changes were noted as underlying drivers of land use and cover changes. The overall accuracies for classified maps of 1987 and 2020 were 80.36% and 89.81%, respectively. Notably, woodland cover in the protected area increased by 170.53% between 1987 and 2020, while built-up areas and farmland increased 1348.15% and 405.03%, respectively. In the same period, wetland cover in protected and unprotected decreased immensely by 46.06%. Bareland in the park decreased by 23%, while outside the park, it increased by 25.07%. This study concludes that land use and land cover change resulted from sociocultural changes, political and policy decisions on ranches, park management, and land tenure restructuring.

The article discusses the features and main stages of the formation of OFDM signals. Analytical models of signals with orthogonal frequency multiplexing in the time and frequency domains are presented in the absence and presence of a mismatch in the carrier frequency of the transmitter and receiver. The analysis of the models allowed us to identify the parameters that affect the frequency and phase spectrum of signals. The study was carried out and the dependences of the reception quality of OFDM signals (the ratio of signal power to the power of equivalent noise) on the normalized error of the carrier frequency estimation were obtained.

Un lance de dados para leer despacio: entre Stéphane Mallarmé y Herberto Helder
Authors: Mattar Marina Ribeiro
Published: November 2021

Este breve ensayo se propone comparar las imágenes del mar, del vacío y del juego en los poemas Para o leitor ler de/vagar de Herberto Helder (1930-2015) y Un lance de dados jamás abolirá el azar de Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898). Además del campo semántico que crea una especie de silencio en los poemas, nos interesa comprender de qué manera ese mutismo actúa en sus estructuras y cuáles son sus posibles significados. El análisis se apoya en los trabajos críticos de Martelo (2010) y Campos (2002).

IMPLEMENTASI METODE ANALYTICAL HIERARCY PROCESS (AHP) UNTUK ANALISIS FAKTOR KEAMANAN LAUT INDONESIA
Authors: Tamam Moh Badri , Hozairi Hozairi
Published: November 2021

Indonesia is an island nation consisting of 17,504 islands and has 81,290 kilometers of coast. Indonesia has 12 (twelve) law enforcement agencies at sea, the twelve institutions have carried out their duties and functions, but have not synergized, so that sea security is not only influenced by the number of institutions, but is influenced by many factors, namely: Political and legal factors, economic factors, security and security factors, socio-cultural factors, environmental factors, technological factors, so that Indonesia needs a marine security model to determine the factors that most influence Indonesian sea security using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP Method). For program calculations we use web programming. Research results: [1] Defense and security = 0.40, [2] Politics and law = 0.22, [3] Technology = 0.14, [4] Environment = 0.09, [5] Economics = 0, 06, [6] Social culture = 0.06. The sub-factor criteria that most influence each factor are as follows: [1] Defense and security = Expenditures (0.28), [2] Politics and law = Division of zones of sea areas (0.37), [3] Technology = Cyber ​​Attack (0.52), [4] Environment = Geographical condition of the disaster zone (0.44), nn [5] Economy = Indonesian economic growth (0.30), [6] Social culture = Maritime cultural awareness (0 , 44). So the factors and sub-factors that most influence on Indonesia's sea security are defense and security factors with the national defense expenditure expenditure sub-factor.
Resilienz durch Muße? Ethnografische Befunde zu einer ambivalenten Relation
Authors: Tauschek Markus
Published: November 2021

Resilience has recently become an expansive concept in political, economic and scientific fields. The normative and ideological dimensions underlying this concept and the resulting cultural effects have hardly been the subject of empirically grounded research in cultural studies so far, although resilience discourses have long been materialising in everyday and living environments. Using the example of courses that promise actors a life with more leisure, this article asks how ideas of resilience are communicated, made plausible and also critically negotiated in this specific field. To what extent is the increased attractiveness of the concept of leisure as a specific form of the qualification of temporal experience related to ideas of a resilient self? How are ideas of a fundamentally deficient self in need of optimisation expressed here and for which social problems are what kind of solutions being sought? The article assumes that both the concept of leisure and the concept of resilience co-create, on a discursive level, the problems, challenges and crises to which they respond.

Published: November 2021

Antenatal care is one of the most effective measures to reduce maternal mortality in Lower Middle-income Countries. The study aims to assess the utilization of antenatal care and related factors by breastfeeding mothers in Chitwan district of Nepal. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Bharatpur municipality in April 2020, among all women of the reproductive age group (15-49) who have had a birth child in the last 12 months before the survey date. A census sampling technique was used to select respondents. The vaccination period was two weeks. All the mothers who came to the vaccine center to vaccinate their children were the respondents of this study. The data were collected by using an interview schedule. The collected data were managed using SPSS Version 20. The study found that 84.31 percent of respondents attended more than four antenatal care utilization. The educational level of the respondents and the occupation of their partners were linked to the use of antenatal care. The number of pregnancies, the number of live births, the place of delivery, and the educational level and occupations of the birth attendees were also significantly linked to the use of antenatal care. Community mobilization and intensive use of community health workers are essential factors to improve the use of antenatal care.

Published: November 2021

Evidence shows that the seasonal migrants returned from India have been a source of COVID-19, which helped spread it across Nepal. This cross-sectional study, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM) model, that people's underlying believes in this case around COVID-19, is determined by a large extend their subsequent behaviors. This study aimed to examine the association between personal characteristics and perceived threats regarding COVID-19 among 384 seasonal migrants who had returned from India and were staying in a quarantine center in Surkhet, Nepal. A questionnaire was used with the help of three health workers working in the Quarantine Center. A five-point sequential grade Likert scale was constructed based on two HBM constructs, like 'perceived susceptibility' and ‘severity.' A score ≥ of 50% was designated as high, and ≤ 50% as a perceived low level of threat. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed to interpret the data using SPSS 20 version. Generally, participants regarded the threat of COVID-19 as low. The severity of COVID-19 was thought to be greater than the vulnerability of the subjects. Gender, age, caste, education, health status, and perceived susceptibility did not correlate with perceived susceptibility. However, the participants’ demographic characteristics were associated with their perceived level of severity. Therefore, this study calls for proper risk communication to people who returned from abroad, as this is essential in promoting protective behavior during a pandemic outbreak.

Authors: Kharel Ashok , Sedain Gopal , Shilpakar Sushil krishna , Sharma Mohan Raj
Published: November 2021

Background:To distinguish post-neurosurgical bacterial meningitis (PNBM) from aseptic meningitis is difficult. Inflammatory and biochemical cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) changes mimic those classically observed after CNS surgery. CSF lactate assay has therefore been proposed as a useful PNBM marker.
Objective:To determine the value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate level for the identification of bacterial meningitis following cranial surgery.
Methods:Between January 2016 and December 2016, a prospective clinical study was done in Department of Neurosurgery, in which all patients with clinical suspicion of PNBM were enrolled. Patients with clinical suspicion of bacterial meningitis BM were categorized, according to preset criteria, into 3 groups: (1) proven BM; (2) presumed BM, and (3) nonbacterial meningeal syndrome. CSF markers were plotted in a receiver operating curve (ROC) to evaluate their diagnostic accuracy.
Results:The study included 70 patients. We obtained 65 CSF samples from patients with clinical suspicion of BM by CSF analysis. 20 corresponded to proven BM, 7 to probable BM and 38 to excluded BM. Mean lactate in CSF was: 8.4 ±3.0 mmol /l for proven BM, 4.8 ± 0.99 mmol /l for probable BM and 2.08 ± 0.822 mmol/l for excluded BM (P < .001).
Conclusion: CSF lactate level has good predictive value to distinguish BM from aseptic meningitis with sensitivity of 90% and specificity: 87% at cut-off value: 4.0 mmol/l.

Black Square. On the extent of Gorky’s avant-gardism
Authors: Borisova L. V.
Published: November 2021

The article examines Gorky’s avant-garde legacy. The author compares thewriter’s metaphors with the imagery of futurists and discovers aSuprematist flavour of descriptions in Gorky’s works. Examined in detail is the use of defamiliarisation ( ostranenie). In Gorky’s earlier works, its eﬀect is diminished by the author’s comments on the technique. In the novel The Life of Klim Samgin [ Zhizn Klima Samgina], defamiliarisation features at its most accomplished level and becomes the organising principle of the narration. Theparticular relevance of defamiliarisation follows from Gorky’s natural tendency towards allegory. Defamiliarisation is analysed as a special case ofallegory (termed ‘a negative allegory’ by D. Chizhevsky). Gorky’s diﬀerences with the avant-garde movement were spiritual as much as artistic: a negative meaning of the ‘black square’ in his works proves it. The article shows how the image, unrelated to the famous painting but representing the philosophy favoured by Malevich, can be found in the collections Through Russia [Po Rusi] and Tales of Italy [ Skazki ob Italii], the autobiographic installment In the World [V lyudyakh], and in The Life of Klim Samgin.
Invitation to the ‘Enchanted city’
Authors: Skiperskikh A. V.
Published: November 2021

The article sets out to reconstruct the famous comment made by a Soviet intellectual Vladimir Turbin with regard to the cultural space of the city of Yelets. The literary critic’s reference to an ‘enchanted city,’ which appeared in the Ogonyok magazine aﬅer his trip to Yelets in 1967, had far-reaching consequences for the people of Yelets; it equipped them with an idea that became foundational for the city’s urban identity in the era of Russia’s democratisation. In the early 1990s, Turbin’s comment was quoted by the city’s intellectuals and rulers, who used the high praise of the city to achieve political legitimacy. Commemoration of Turbin becomes integrated into the city’s politics of memory, as illustrated by a few speciﬁc incidents. At the same time, the history of the comment that deﬁnes the place of Yelets in Russian culture remains largely unexplained. The author hypothesises about the reasons for Turbin’s fascination with Yelets. Along with connections to Rozanov and Bunin, it is likely that Yelets appealed to Turbin as an opportunity to expand the geography of his guest seminars, as well as to research his own ancestry.

FORMAL DESCRIPTIONS OF COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEMS AND SPECIFICATIONS OF SIMULATORS CONSTRUCTED BY MODELING LANGUAGES
Authors:   Donetsk National Technical University, Artem Liubymov , Volodymyr Svjatnyj
Published: November 2021

The concept of developing parallel modeling languages (PML) of complex dynamic systems (CDS) based on the analogy between the principles of operation of serial languages (SL) and MIMD parallelism provides for the purpose of "Functional element of the SL block diagram - MIMD process", which transforms the SL specifications of serial simulators (block diagrams) in the structure of virtual parallel simulators. Virtuality is due to the atypical for MIMD-systems "fine granulation" of the processes generated by this purpose and the connections between the processes, which must be appropriate to the connection schemes of the functional elements of SL simulators. The architecturally relevant implementation of a parallel simulator of any CDS is related to the form of its mathematical description and the corresponding Simulation model. CDS with concentrated parameters are described by systems of ordinary differential equations (ODE) of the first order, systems of equations of different orders, systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAE-Problem), and in network CDS there are sums of derivatives from different variables. CDS with distributed parameters are described by systems of differential equations in partial derivatives, so the development of Simulation-models is associated with the approximation of equations by spatial coordinates and the formation of ODE systems. For these forms of description Simulation-models and corresponding SL-specifications in the form of block diagrams of SL-elements are considered, which is the basis for construction of virtual MIMD-simulators of two possible levels of granulation of processes: the basic level " SL-element - process" provides MIMD-processes "Shallow granulation", in which there is uneven loading of processes and an unfavorable relationship between the volume of computational operations and data exchange operations between processes; The level "Group of SL-elements - process" corresponds to the stage of simulator development, in which the specifications use the composition of SL-elements according to a certain principle, for example, "One equation Simulation model - Group of SLelements to solve the equation - Coarse granulation process"
The unrecognized potential of pet cats for studying aging and age-related diseases
Authors:   Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA., Ladiges Warren
Published: November 2021

Old cats develop chronic diseases similar to diseases in older people. One-fourth of American households own cats, and almost half are more than 7 years old. Cats share the same environment and are exposed to many of the same chemical stresses. In addition, genomic diversity and population stratification are similar to that occurring in people. With these comparative features, the aging cat represents a geroscience model to investigate the pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions for aging. However, cats are generally not recognized as a translational model for aging research mainly because of the lack of knowledge and appreciation within the scientific community. In addition, cat owners are not aware of any research programs designed to enhance healthy aging in their pets because none exist. Much work is needed to inform and educate the scientific community as well as cat owners about the power of aging cats as a transformative model to investigate aging and age-related diseases that will benefit both human and feline health. Keywords: Aging cats, age-related diseases, healthy aging, geroscience
The relationship between GHG emissions and agricultural land productivity in the EU member states and Ukraine
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Faichuk Oleksandr
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the quantitative relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and agricultural land productivity in EU member states and Ukraine (a country that continues to integrate into the EU). The author made a comparative analysis of the productivity of agricultural land in EU member states, other leading players in the world agricultural market, Ukraine and the world average. The method of statistical grouping to determine the reason for the different productivity of agricultural land (the value of gross output per 1 hectare of agricultural land) in the EU member states and in Ukraine was used. The author identified the cause of high levels of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent) per hectare of agricultural land in the most developed EU countries by using the graphical method. Based on the calculated target level of greenhouse gas emissions per hectare of agricultural land in the EU until 2030, required by the European Green Deal, the probable threat to EU member states and Ukraine in terms of possible decline in agricultural production has been identified. By using the econometric method and the method of regression analysis, the author identified the existence of a positive and strong quantitative relationship between emissions of carbon dioxide equivalent and value of agricultural production per hectare of land in EU member states and Ukraine. The magnitude of the increasing of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions under condition of increasing the value of gross output per hectare of agricultural land by one euro is calculated. Based on the results of the study, the author concluded that there is a high probability of reducing the productivity of agricultural land in developed EU countries, if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to the level of the target value. The author also substantiated the practical lack of opportunity for less developed countries of the EU and Ukraine to increase the economic productivity of land, according to realize the requirements of the European Green Deal. Recommendations for avoiding a possible threat in agricultural production of the studied countries are summarized.

Published: November 2021

With growth and exponential globe trotter traveling of the human population, and many more conducive factors, the likelihood of merging and melting viruses capable of infecting humans in a cooperative fashion, has increased markedly. Hence, viruses that were limited to a particular region of the planet, or to certain population groups, have become capable of infecting humans on a pandemic scale. Some viruses not only can infect pregnant women, but also expand to the amniotic fluid and fetus. With this review, we will reflect upon some examples of known viral cooperations, as well as new ones that have the potential for compromising human health and survival of the fetus in utero.

Persistent high prevalence of smoking reflects a major failure of public health
Authors: cherukuri Sunitha
Published: November 2021

Patients with mental health and addiction disorders are the only core cigarette smokers left in the Western world as the number of smokers in the general population has declined dramatically over the last decades. Simultaneously there is a gap in life expectancy of more than 20 years between patients who have been in treatment for mental disorders and the rest of the population and this gap has not declined in the last two decades. Adding to this are new research findings that show that cigarette smoking has a detrimental effect also on mental health being a risk factor for depressive symptoms. There is therefore a need for concentrated action to curb the smoking epidemic among people with mental health and addiction disorders. There is limited research and guidelines on how to both prevent and cease smoking in this group. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the current literature of the size of the problem, how to handle smoking cessation both individually and at system level and on the prevention of smoking. The review confirms that the rate of smokers among patients with mental health and addiction disorders is huge with some figures pointing up to 80 % in specific groups. It also confirms that cigarette smoking is a strongly addictive making the success rates low, especially without aides like snooze and e-cigarettes. It also shows, however, that it is safe to create a smoking free environment in all mental health and addiction units which also might be beneficial to the patients in the long run.

Published: November 2021

Sand sieving is now considered one of the essential needs in the construction industry. Where businesses collaborate to find the best and highest-quality methods for extracting pure sand suitable for construction. These businesses always require high-quality machines to complete the process flawlessly. This is also to prove its market power and guarantee its products. This research talks about the various mechanisms for designing and manufacturing sand sieving. The sand sieving process expresses the filtering of sand from the rest of the components such as stones or gravel.
