Naming for Sustainability: Interrogating the Efficacy and Sustainability of COVID-19 Metaphor and Nomenclature
Authors: Sibanda Jabulani
Published: December 2023

Language matters for sustainability, and diseases’ names and attendant terminology should serve language users’ extant and future needs. The currency and pandemic proportion of COVID-19, and the viral or pervasive use of its attendant vocabulary and metaphors, makes it an apt case for interrogating the sustainability of its nomenclature. This paper interrogates the efficacy and sustainability of COVID-19 related English vocabulary and metaphors among the Shona speaking people, as a microcosm of their efficacy and sustainability among Bantu African language speakers. The paper is framed by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which posits that language filters people’s reality and colors their attitudes and actions. By implication, unstainable and inefficacious language compromises an appreciation of one’s reality. Acknowledging that any linguistic inventiveness should serve a utilitarian rather than ornamental function, the paper interrogates the sustainability and efficacy of the ‘war’ metaphor and lexical innovations replete within the COVID-19 discourse. The paper analyzes efficacy regarding the terms and metaphor engendering the desired or intended effects and sustainability of the terms’ intelligibility, pronounceability, memorability, and translatability. The paper concludes that the selected English COVID-19 related terms engendered unintended thoughts and reactions within the language users, and that, owing to them being products of English lexical innovation, they defy translatability into, and intelligibility within, African languages; rendering the COVID-19 discourse exclusive and unsustainable.

Published: December 2023

As government partners, it is appropriate that Keujruen blang and agricultural extension workers as facilitators of the government in the agricultural sector must have the same meaning in agricultural practice activities. It aims to achieve the mission of national development embodied into food security priorities through sustainable agricultural agitation. Collaboration between extension workers and customary institutions can create effective agricultural practices to increase the income and standard of living of farming communities. The focus of this study is to analyze the meaning of agricultural practices owned by extension workers and customary institutions in Sukamakmur Aceh Besar sub-district by understanding the role of each actor. To analyze the meaning of agricultural practices for extension workers and customary institutions, this study uses the concept of hierarchy of meaning contained in the theory of Coordinated Management of Meaning (CMM). This research is presented with qualitative methods with ethnographic design. The place of research was conducted in Sukamakmur District, Aceh Besar. This research was conducted from March to September 2023 through several stages. The determination of informants is done purposively. The analysis used is Ethnograpic Content Ananlysis (ECA). Validity in this study was carried out using data triangulation. The results of the study explained that coordinating the meaning of agricultural practices between extension workers and traditional keujruen blang institutions can be assessed from the role of each actor. The coordination of the meaning of agricultural practices between keujruen blang and extension workers with CMM theory shows the similarity of the meaning of agricultural practices by extension workers and keujruen blang, namely realizing sustainable agriculture through the roles of each actor. The role of keujruen blang to realize sustainable agriculture is by maintaining customs in rice field activities, while the role of extension workers to realize sustainable agriculture is by focusing on organic farming.
KADIN İSTİHDAMI VE BOŞANMA İLİŞKİSİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: CEYLAN Servet , GÜRSOY Harun Barlas
Published: December 2023

Gelir düzeyi artan ekonomilerde değişimler daha hızlı gerçekleşmektedir. Kadınlar bugün iş hayatında daha fazla yer alabileceği pozisyonların var olmasıyla geleneksel iş bölümü ve uzmanlaşma rollerinin dışında daha fazla hareket etmektedir. Kadınlar çeşitli nedenlerle daha fazla çalışma hayatına katılmaktadır. Bunların başında aile bütçesine katkıda bulmak, sadece erkeğin geliri ile ev ekonomisini sağlayamamak gibi ekonomik nedenler gelmektedir. Ayrıca kadınların eğitim hayatında eskiye nazaran daha fazla yer almaları da bu sürecin sonunda iş hayatında yer almayı daha sık istemelerine neden olmuştur. Gelir düzeyindeki artışla ortaya çıkan bir diğer durum da aile birliğinin daha sık bozulmasıdır. Bu iki değişimin aynı anda olması araştırmacıları boşanma ile kadın istihdamı arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmaya yöneltmiştir. Bu araştırmalarda, kadınların çalışmasının boşanma sayısını arttırdığını, boşanan kadınların gelir kaybı nedeniyle çalışmaya başladığını ve/veya kadınların çalışmasının aile birliğini koruduğunu iddia eden alternatif yaklaşımlar mevcuttur.

Çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisinde kadın istihdamı ve boşanma arasındaki ilişki, 1989-2021 dönemi yıllık zaman serileri vasıtasıyla incelenmiştir. Engle-Granger (1987) testinden elde edilen bulgular iki değişken arasında uzun dönemli pozitif yönlü bir ilişkinin olduğunu göstermiştir. Nedensellik testlerinde ise boşanma oranlarından kadın istihdamına yönelik tek yönlü nedensel ilişki belirlenmiştir. Bulgular Türkiye’de boşanma oranı artışının kadın istihdamını arttırdığını göstermektedir.

ULTRASOUND SIGN «CALCIFICATION» OF NODULAR THYROID NEOPLASMS WHEN USING THE TI-RADS SYSTEM (CASE REPORT)
Authors: Timofeeva Lyubov A. , Stepanov Vladimir G. , Kleverova Lyudmila S.
Published: December 2023

The problem of improving the quality of early differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules remains relevant, since the number of patients with this pathology is steadily increasing. Obtaining reliable criteria for node malignancy is clinically significant for carrying out further therapeutic and diagnostic measures. In the case of detecting calcifications during ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland, the choice of tactics becomes more complicated, since today there is no unified understanding of the value of calcifications, and contradictions in their assessments persist. The aim is to demonstrate the complexity of differential diagnosis of nodular thyroid pathology using the clinical example. Results. The article presents a clinical case which is complex from a diagnostic point of view; it is a clinical case of nodular thyroid pathology in a patient aged 71 years. To make the diagnosis, a multiparametric ultrasound examination was performed in В-mode. Based on the results of multiparametric ultrasound examination, indications for a fine needle aspiration biopsy were determined and further management for the patient with nodular thyroid formation was determined. The results of the multiparametric ultrasound examination were ambiguous. In B-mode, the nodes were characterized by a hypoechogenic heterogeneous structure with multiple cystic cavities with intersections and microcalcifications. Taking into account these signs, the nodes were assessed as malignant (TI-RADS4). The patient underwent a fine needle aspiration biopsy, the results of which indicated goiter with signs of regressive changes (Bethesda II). The conclusion of the pathomorphological study indicated stromal calcinosis. Conclusions. Taking into account the ultrasound sign of "calicificates" made it possible to more accurately assess the nature of pathomorphological changes in the nodes in the right (TI-RADS4) and left (TI-RADS4) lobes of the thyroid gland, which was then confirmed by a pathomorphological study. Thus, multiparametric ultrasound remains the leading method in the diagnosis of nodular thyroid pathology.

Published: December 2023

The urgency of the problem associated with chickenpox lies in its widespread prevalence, high rates of morbidity and the risk of developing severe forms and complications leading to fatal outcomes. This disease is considered to be pediatric, but adults can also get infected with this infection, and the disease in adults has a more severe form. Many diseases change their course a little over time. The purpose is to present a case report describing an atypical course of chickenpox. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 23 case histories of patients diagnosed with chickenpox (typical course, mild and moderate severity) was carried out on the basis of LLC ""Doctor with You" Medical Center" of the Chuvash Republic of Cheboksary. One clinical case of an atypical course of the disease is described. Study results. During a retrospective analysis of 23 case histories of patients diagnosed with chickenpox, it was noted that 9 patients with uncomplicated form of the disease had a rash not only on the body, the scalp, but on their palms and feet as well. The above clinical case describes the onset of rash on the 2nd day of the disease in a girl aged 9 years. On the 3rd day of the disease, rash appeared on the palms and feet. The child was examined by a pediatrician on the 7th day of the disease at home. To confirm the diagnosis, in addition to general clinical tests, an enzyme immunoassay was administered to determine antibodies to varicella-zoster virus IgM and IgG. On the basis of complaints, epidemiological history, objective and laboratory data, the diagnosis was made: chickenpox, typical course, mild form. Symptomatic treatment was administered for the patient. Conclusions. According to the Clinical recommendations (treatment protocol) for providing medical care to children with chickenpox, rash on the palms and feet in chickenpox refers to a severe form of the disease, but currently such rash can be found in patients suffering from the mild form of the disease. The atypical nature of the rash is possible to be due to variability of the virus, which requires further study. Due to the fact that the disease remains one of the most widespread, it is necessary to consider the issue of including vaccination against chickenpox in the calendar of preventive vaccinations in the Russian Federation.

Published: December 2023

The study is designed to promote creating a balance between reforming the current legal framework and adopting new regulatory provisions; the balance between the interests of the society, business and the state in the field of developing artificial intelligence technologies and related areas. The purpose of the study is to single out the features characteristic for the current stage of forming the model of state regulation in the development of artificial intelligence technologies in the financial sector. Materials and methods. The main research method was a comparative analysis of the provisions of regulations, standards, recommendations and reviews, based on comparing a number of indicators in the development of artificial intelligence technologies in the financial sector. Study results. The deregulatory and conservative approaches to regulation are marked, the parameters of the model of state regulation in the development of artificial intelligence technologies in the financial sector are outlined, the goals and objects of regulation are named, the directions of practical rule-making and developing recommendations are formulated. Conclusions. The current stage of the forming the model of state regulation in the development of artificial intelligence technologies in the financial sector is characterized by an increased interest in the prospects for the use of these technologies, however, it should be borne in mind that these technologies accompany large-scale changes in the economic model, and their regulation should act as an offshoot of the regulating the economic model as a whole. The attempts to integrate the use of technology into the existing economic model will only direct their development along the streamlined path of formalism and will not allow to fully exploit their potential.
FEDERALISM IN THE LEGAL VIEWS OF S.A. KOTLYAREVSKY
Authors: Zakharchenko Olga V.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this work is to study the legal views of the Russian scientist, historian and lawyer Sergei Andreevich Kotlyarevsky on federalism and his interpretation of a federal state's forms, the possibility of its implementation in Russia. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the works of S.A. Kotlyarevsky were used as the main materials, allowing to identify his scientific views on the issue under study, as well as the results of the author's comprehensive study of the scientist's socio-political and scientific-pedagogical views. The principles of the study were historicism, comprehensive and objective analysis, and critical evaluation of the material. The methodological basis was a set of methods of scientific cognition. Along with the general scientific dialectical method of cognition, the author applied historical-legal and comparative-legal methods. Study results. It is shown that at the beginning of the XX century, one of the problems under development in the legal concept of S.A. Kotlyarevsky was the form of state structure. The main theoretical provisions on the nature and forms of power distribution in states are considered. It is revealed that, depending on the degree of independence of individual parts, the scientist determined the classification of unitary centralized and federal type states. At this, state legal entities are identified directly in the form of a federation, unions as permanent unions with the introduction of contractual provisions into their national law systems and international legal associations of independent states (confederations). The scientist's views determined the possibility of transition to a federal type of state structure in Russia. Conclusions. The theoretical provisions on federalism developed by S.A. Kotlyarevsky were a contribution to the development of the Russian legal science of the state and law. Various forms of state structure were identified based on the analysis of various types of power distribution in states. The main criterion for their structuring was the methods of decentralization of state power and the management system. In the legal views of the scientist, the federal structure presupposes ensuring independence and equality of the entities that were part of the federation. The federal type of state power organization was considered by him as one of the options for implementing the principles of the law-bound state.

Classroom management practices which teachers apply in their everyday practice are focused on creating positive environment which will enable students to effectively work and learn on a daily basis. Additionally, some practices familiar in the educational theory, known as methods of educational work, can have much bigger impact and contribute toward long-term changes related to student’s overall personal development. Their application influences on developing and strengthening some personal qualities like: positive beliefs and attitudes toward learning and personal improvement, self-control, self-discipline, diligence, responsibility, positive work habits etc. This paper examines the use of the methods of educational work, through the frequency of use of different approaches and strategies in teachers’ everyday classroom management practice, focusing on praise, reward, and training, as a part of the process of developing habits; inhibition and punishment in situation when negative behaviour occurs, and others. The sample includes 364 secondary school teachers in North Macedonia, with different length of working experience in the teaching profession. The application of these methods is seen as an important part of teachers’ practice, and due to this it should be considered as a necessary component of the initial teacher education, as well as teachers’ continuous professional development. The paper stresses the importance of teacher education in this domain, emphasizing that their appropriate or inappropriate use can lead either to long-term positive outcomes or to negative consequences.

Coiba National Park (PNC) is one of the most important marine protected areas in the Americas, as an essential part of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor. As a marine protected area, its main objective is biodiversity conservation, although nature-based tourism and nautical activities are allowed. This research focused on the application of the Coastal Scenery Evaluation System (CSES) method along the entire PNC coastline. Based on two field visits, covering more than 200 km of coastline, 42 beaches were identified and evaluated, the vast majority in highly natural conditions. Similarly, five beaches were analyzed for biological data associated with the diversity of coastal fauna, as a preliminary inventory. The result of the CSES fuzzy logic calculation classified 64% of the beaches in the two highest scenery grades, with only 3 beaches in class IV, and none in class V. Regarding the biological data, macroinvertebrates were mostly represented by 13 mollusks, 1 echinoderm and 1 crustacean. In addition to scientific results, the research identified those beaches with the potential to be certified as coastal scenery of heritage value. In conclusion, this evaluation will help guide nature-based tourism actions within the PNC, and will serve as a baseline for future monitoring of the impact that tourism activity may have on beach fauna and natural attributes.
Managing Identity and Access Management (IAM) in Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Authors:   USA, Talluri Sampath
Published: December 2023

Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a pivotal role within Amazon Web Services (AWS) by governing the utilization of cloud resources and enhancing the overall security of the AWS ecosystem. IAM allows AWS users to effectively manage resource access while ensuring a robust security framework. This exploration delves into the fundamental concepts that underpin IAM, shedding light on authentication and authorization processes, best practices, practical implementation scenarios, and the convergence of IAM and security, and provides a forward-looking perspective into emerging trends in the field. IAM's significance lies in its ability to control access for individual users and groups, roles, and policies, ensuring the principle of least privilege and minimizing security risks. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a key facet of IAM within AWS, offering an extra layer of security and identity verification. This enables organizations to fortify access control measures, safeguarding their AWS resources from potential threats. In addition to these foundational concepts, this exploration delves into practical implementations, elucidating how IAM can be leveraged to meet realworld security and compliance requirements. IAM's robust features enable users to define and manage access permissions with precision, catering to the specific needs of their organizations. Furthermore, this abstract introduces the IAM Query API, which provides a means to interact directly with AWS services. The IAM Query API supports GET and POST methods through APIs, offering developers and administrators a more streamlined approach to managing access to AWS resources. IAM is a linchpin in AWS security, ensuring that access to cloud resources is fine-tuned, well-protected, and compliant with best practices. The continued evolution of IAM, including integrating emerging technologies and security measures, promises to further enhance the security posture of AWS users and the cloud computing ecosystem.

Augustovy denáry typu Gaius/Lucius a intenzita výskytu ražeb julsko-klaudijské dynastie na Moravě
Authors: Zeman Tomáš
Published: December 2023

The first imperial dynasty significantly reformed the Roman coinage, the production of which was partly moved to the provinces closer to the Germanic regions. Due to the newly emerging settlement structure of the newly established provinces of Noricum and Pannonia as well as the irregular trade relations between them and the Kingdom of Vannius, the representation of coins from the first two thirds of the 1st century in Moravia is minimal (only 86 coins are currently available). Unfortunately, isolated surface finds without an archaeological context do not provide sufficient support for dating their deposition in the ground. Some of them could have been brought later, for example during Roman military operations in Barbaricum in the last third of the 2nd century or in Late Antiquity. Newly, the find collection in the central Danube region was extended by additional denarii of the Gaius/Lucius type (denarius and subaerat around Germanic settlement in Bzenec), which are otherwise mainly concentrated near the Varus’s battle in the Teutoburg Forest and in the Rhineland. What is also noteworthy is the dominance of asses from the Roman mint struck under the supervision of the college of three mint officials (tresviri monetales) among the bronze denominations of Augustus. The gold aurei, silver denarii, billon tetradrachms and aes asses of Nero are also a fairly representative set, whereas the coins of the emperors Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius have a meagre numerical representation.
Rozdělené páry? Identifikace a interpretace výskytu gombíků s identickou tepanou výzdobou z různých nálezových kontextů velkomoravské aglomerace Mikulčice–Kopčany

Spherical hollow buttons (in Czech gombíky, sgl. gombík) are garment accessories of the Great Moravian elites, which have been widely discussed over the past decades. Research into these artefacts, and particularly their chased decoration, has been ongoing for almost 70 years. The aim was to find analogies to their motifs and clarify their cultural origin. Research into decorative motifs is still justified if the questions it is supposed to answer are modified and a new methodology based on it is employed. The present paper deals with a detailed analysis of individual specimens, namely their ornamentation examined through visualisation based on digital models of spherical hollow buttons created by multi-image photogrammetry. The aim to use this method is to compare specimens with matching decorations, which were found in different graves within the Great Moravian centre of Mikulčice–Kopčany, and to define whether they could form a pair created intentionally by a single craftsman. In the conclusion, the results are confronted with the economic models hypothesised for 9th-century Moravia.

Obesity has long been recognized as a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, intriguing paradoxes such as the "obesity paradox" and the "fat but fit" phenomenon have been associated with it. The "fat but fit" paradigm suggests that overweight or obese individuals might face a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease if they possess high levels of physical fitness. In other words, higher fitness levels may mitigate the negative impact of obesity on cardiovascular risk, leading to a reduction in overall mortality due to CVD. The evidence surrounding this paradox is conflicting, highlighting the necessity for further research. The complex relationship between physical fitness, obesity, and cardiometabolic health is influenced by individual and environmental factors. Consequently, it becomes imperative to conduct more studies to comprehend this intricate interplay fully. To address this issue, it is important to focus on formulating strategies that promote the maintenance and enhancement of cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight and obese individuals. Moreover, including fitness evaluations in comprehensive risk stratification can significantly improve clinical decision-making.
