Video streaming has become very popular among game enthusiasts. Live streams of computer games, where there is the possibility of communi­cation, are developing as community meeting places; a number of social scientists are calling this a trend towards new online “third places”. To­day’s debate draws attention to the reproduction of a participation culture trough streaming, in the space of which everyone can express themselves creatively, share their opinion, experiences, and information. At the same time, there is a tendency towards the capitalist appropriation of streaming by media businesspersons who stimulate the monetization of participation. Investigating the “sociality of streaming”, the authors highlight the supplementation of the “Let’s Play” discourse with topics from the current agenda, understanding live streams as public media arenas. In the public arenas of computer game live streams, the dramatization and selection of global or local news information in a specific media format takes place. The article demonstrates this phenomenon using the example of the corona­virus, the most prominent topic of spring 2020. The pandemic vocabulary appears in different sections of Twitch game streams, such as titles, audio/ video content, and the chat. Banter and obscene vocabulary are charac­teristic of the game stream space, however, this is combined with charity fund-raising broadcasts in support of doctors. ­
Consensus and Power in Tabletop Role-playing Games
Authors:   Institute of Business and Design, Moscow, Russia, Podvalnyi M.A.
Published: December 2020

This article is dedicated to the issue of achieving consensus in tabletop role-playing games and also addresses the question of how exactly play­ers gain power over the interpretation of events within a tabletop RPG. A tabletop role-playing game presupposes that its participants constantly articulate statements which shift the current configuration of in-game elements and also play the role of being artistic descriptions of said shifts. The alternation and interplay of performative and descriptive statements, their convolution and also the fact that, in tabletop RPGs, unlike in the majority of the rest of the games known to humanity, the same words from natural languages are used both in order to produce a shift in abstract, symbolic structure of a game, and to artistically describe said shift, all lead to the situation where participants cannot tell a proper symbolic system of a given game from other symbolic systems which this game refers to. In this article, we propose an analytical model of a tabletop RPG which would make it possible to draw stricter borderlines between a given RPG’s fictional world and its inner symbolic structure. Furthermore, it would allow us to formulate a clearer question regarding the structures of power produced while playing an RPG, and what exactly players gain control over while playing it. Moreover, this model would enable us to explore in detail the processes of the individual and collective interpretation of events in a tabletop RPG, and classify facts within said interpretation in relation to whether they are held to be objectively or subjectively true.
MODELLING NONLINEAR RELATION BY USING RUNNING INTERVAL SMOOTHER, CONSTRAINED B-SPLINE SMOOTHING AND DIFFERENT QUANTILE ESTIMATORS
Authors: DİLBER Burak , ÖZDEMİR Abdullah
Published: December 2020

This paper compares the small-sample properties of two non-parametric regression methods, running interval smoother and constrained b-spline smoothing. The running interval smoother method deals with estimation of a conditional quantile (or a measure of location) using different estimators and here our focus is on Harrell-Davis and newly proposed NO quantile estimators. The constrained b-spline smoothing method uses the quantile regression estimator while obtaining conditional quantile estimates. Constrained b-spline smoothing and running interval smoother methods are compared with a simulation study by using theoretical distributions. Furthermore, the methods are examined graphically to understand how they can model the relationship between variables. Constrained b-spline smoothing and running interval smoother with NO estimator outperformed running interval smoother with Harrell-Davis estimator in terms of mean squared error.
Single nucleotide polymorphism rs7908486 of the TCF7L2 gene is highly associated with obesity in the Iraqi population
Authors: Mohammed Amera , Al-Thuwaini Tahreer , Al-Shuhaib Mohammed
Published: December 2020

This study was conducted to assess the possible association between polymorphisms of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene and obese Iraqi adults. DNA was obtained from 158 obese subjects and 142 controls. Two specific PCR fragments were designed to incorporate two highly frequent single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)s within TCF7L2, rs11196208 and rs7908486. Both amplified loci were genotyped by PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) followed by sequencing. Logistic regression analysis was performed to detect the association between both genetic variants and obesity. Concerning rs11196208-based amplicons, PCR-SSCP genotyping showed homogeneous banding patterns for all investigated samples. In contrast with rs11196208, three SSCP banding patterns in the rs7908486-based amplicons, GG, AG and AA, were observed. Individuals with the AA genotype showed significantly higher (P<0.05) body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and insulin values than those with either AG or GG genotypes. Association analysis revealed that individuals with the A allele exhibited a greater risk of obesity than individuals with the B allele. Data indicate that rs7908486 SNP exerted a tight association with obesity. The study suggests implementing TCF7L2 rs7908486-based genotyping in the early detection of obesity.

The use of computer-based virtual reality (VR) technologies in the educational process is continuously increasing for a variety of professional activities. Medical education is one of the examples, where such efforts are particularly visible. Today’s VR products provide the maximum immersion into a virtual environment and active interaction with their components. These VR products are becoming increasingly more popular, even in comparison with pseudo-3D simulators. VR facilitates the development of the abilities for precision work as much as mechanical skills. In emergency medical care, it is particularly important to practice the skills requiring specialized knowledge and abilities. In this work, we discuss VR-simulators built to practice the algorithm of emergency medical assistance in a maximally realistic environment.
The modern features of organization of the pedagogical and educational processes in medical universities
Authors: Medvedev N. V.
Published: December 2020

Modern requirements for training of highly qualified specialists at a medical university, who are ready for making independent decisions and continuous professional development, provide for the competent use of various pedagogical approaches and technologies for development of practical skills. To determine the preferred choice of the optimal training technology, we surveyed senior students of the medical university faculty of General Medicine. Graduate students assign a more important role to the content and practical significance of the training sessions, development of practical skills and analysis of clinical cases, while the 5th year students primarily pay attention to the illustrative component of the information provided, the use of role-playing simulation games. To ensure high quality professional training, a modern medical university teacher should give importance to individual approach to students and assess students’ achievements based on their portfolio.
The Role of Mediation in the Correction of Spiritual and Moral Values of a Person
Authors: Molchanova Natalya V.
Published: December 2020

The need to use mediation may arise when a person lacks their own potential to resolve a contradiction based on a mismatch of interests and moral values. However, often the success of mediation depends on working out such issues with the participants of the procedure. The main feature of the article's content is the author's attempt to correlate the mediation procedure in the framework of the restorative approach with the moral principles of behavior highlighted by D. V. Kolesov. It is emphasized that due to specially organized communication and understanding of the unifying role of universal (moral) values, the mediation procedure brings participants to an effective, constructive level of interaction.

To the genuine role of tourism in projects for environmental and economic areas of mountainous districts
Authors: Kalov R.O. , Toguzaev T.Kh.
Published: December 2020

Subject. Like any other industry, tourism has its own contradictions, which, if not comprehended, will inhibit the construction of the tourism and recreation sector, which would be adequate to available resources and prevent eliminating adverse effects of such natural management as much as possible.
Objectives. In this study, we contemplate on the role of the recreation sector in the socio-economic development of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic at a new crucial point of its history when a new owner assumes the office at AO Kurort Elbrus, the main mountainous tourist complex in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. We examine the nature of current drastic changes in the management of AO Kurort Elbrus, conduct the economic analysis of trends in the financing activity of the company for the recent five years, and make a preliminary forecast of possible implications of changes in the ownership of Kurort Elbrus.
Methods. We used the methods of statistical, predictive, logic analyses, and field study.
Results. Due to the quick change in the ownership structure of the main mountainous tourist center in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, it is necessary to revise current processes in terms of possible implications of the analyzable case for the republican economy. Current trends in the management of the tourist center cannot be definitely evaluated. Certainly, the possibility of new financial injections into the sector may seemingly contribute to the development. However, the fact that the would-be investor chose the upper reaches of the Baksan Valley as a target for investment will ignite the controversial reaction of the mountainous community.
Conclusions and Relevance. Currently, the region of Elbrus concentrates interests of legal private landlords and owners of tourist infrastructure, public property and specially protected natural areas. This is the land where contradictory functions of land overlap. The tourism authorities' decision to quickly change the owner in this environmentally and economically complicated area raise much doubt.

Published: December 2020

Subject. The article considers the investment activity in the regions of the Ural Federal District. Objectives. We analyze the impact of import substitution policy on investment activity by type of economic activity, using the regions of the Ural Federal District case. Methods. We employed methods of logic, statistical, and structural analysis. Results. We offer our own approach to the study of the impact of import substitution policy on the investment activity of regions. It rests on comparing the dynamics of Russian imports by major commodity group and the dynamics of investment in fixed assets by type of economic activity. The study revealed two trends. First, the development of substitute goods production. Second, the commodity sector development. It was found that in 2013–2019, investments in the sectors of mining and processing of mineral resources demonstrated faster growth. At the same time, investments in the production of import substituting goods did not show a stable positive dynamics. Thus, the enterprises of the Ural Federal District are more focused on the production of traditional export goods; the orientation of the import substitution policy to the domestic market and high-tech exports currently does not give the expected results and is local in nature. Conclusions. The results of the study can be used by Federal and regional authorities to assess the impact of import substitution policies on the investment activity of enterprises.
Analyzing the market valuations of the world's leading public oil and gas corporations
Authors: Shimko O.V.
Published: December 2020

Subject. This article explores the market valuation ratios of the twenty five leading public oil and gas companies between 2006 and 2018.
Objectives. The article aims to identify key trends in the changes in market valuations of the largest public oil and gas companies, and identify the factors that have caused these changes.
Methods. For the study, I used comparative, and financial and economic analyses, and generalization of materials of the companies' consolidated financial statements.
Results. The article shows certain changes in the main indicators of market valuation of the leading public oil and gas companies and identifies the main factors that contributed to these changes. It establishes that the most significant for comparison and valuation are ratios based on balance sheet values of assets and equity, and EBITDA, DACF and net income ratios are appropriate as auxiliary ratios. The article says that the exchange segment of the industry has increased the debt load, so instead of market capitalization as a component of the coefficients of this group, it is advisable to apply the company's value indicator.
Conclusions and Relevance. The article concludes that the market sentiments towards the stock market segment of the global oil and gas industry are getting impaired. This is quite natural against the background of falling profitability of most leading companies. The results of the study can be useful in evaluating, forecasting and developing measures to increase the market capitalization and value of public oil and gas companies.

STATE REGULATION OF BANKING ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE
Authors: Drachevska Olha
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of "state regulation", "state regulation of banking", "banking regulation" and the measures on which the state regulation of banking is based. An analysis of the scientific literature in various fields allows us to conclude that scholars ambiguously interpret the term "state regulation of banking." Most often, state regulation of banking is seen as a system of measures by which the state through authorized bodies regulates the activities of banks. The domestic legislator considers the concept of "banking regulation" as one of the functions of the National Bank of Ukraine, which is to create a system of norms governing the activities of banks, determine the general principles of banking, banking supervision, liability for violations of banking legislation. The main purpose of banking regulation is security and financial stability of the banking system, protection of the interests of depositors and creditors. The importance of state regulation of banking as an integral part of public policy is emphasized. Effective state regulation of banking activities should ensure stable and uninterrupted operation of the banking system, guarantee the provision of quality services by banks to depositors and borrowers and protect their interests. Preventive and protective measures on which the state regulation of banking activity in Ukraine is based are considered. Preventive measures should be implemented through the approval of mandatory regulations. The application of protective measures should provide protection against the already threatening situation for the bank. Attention is also paid to the forms in which state regulation of banks by the National Bank is carried out. Such forms are administrative regulation and indicative regulation.

Implementing Ethical Recruitment of Migrant Workers: Evidence from the Palm Oil Sector in Malaysia
Authors: Wahab Andika
Published: December 2020

Growing allegation of irregularities in the conduct of migrant workers’ recruitment drives global effort to eliminate unethical practices in the migration industry. As part of the international value chain, palm oil companies in Malaysia are expected to implement ethical recruitment practices. This study is an attempt to assess the employers’ commitment and practices in implementing ethical recruitment in Malaysia. Deriving from four palm oil mills (employers) and further validated through a survey conducted against 92 Nepalese workers – this study argues that while employers have committed to cover certain costs of their migrant workers’ recruitment, they lack a clear policy commitment, due diligence and monitoring against the labour recruiters. Consequently, the labour recruiters (including the intermediaries) mainly in Nepal have imposed another set of recruitment costs which already covered by the employers in Malaysia. Alarmingly, the Nepalese workers have paid even a higher cost of recruitment than the cost borne by the employers. For ethical recruitment to be effectively implemented, the employers’ monetary commitment to cover the cost of their workers’ recruitment must be complemented with efforts to engage and monitor the conduct of the labour recruiters in migrant workers’ origin country.
Transpositional features of the word ala «potty, spotted, piebald» (about the color of animals); «motley, multi-colored; spotted»; «light» in the Turkic languages (based on Bashkir and Karachay-Balkarian languages)
Authors: Musukov Boris A.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the lexico-semantic, derivational, word-composition, inflectional features of the attributive component of descriptive phrases, the indicator of variegated color designation, the term-forming unit of the word ala «potty, spotted, piebald» (about the color of animals) (Bashkir); «motley, multicolored, spotted; light» (Karachay-Balkarian) in Bashkir and Karachay-Balkarian languages, participating in the categorization of mixed segments of the lingua-color space. It examines the features of free and lexicalized phrases, idioms of a phraseological type, paired-repeated constructions formed as a result of combining the word «ala» with denotative and abstract nouns, with asemantic analogues that repeat the second syllable of the reference word and are its phonetically modified version without lexical meaning.
It examines the distinctive and integrating features of the noted syntactic structures from the point of view of functioning in various language levels and lexicographic interpretation.
The article analyzes the features of a selective combination of «double names» with inventory units of morphology in the process of further morphologization of two-syllable attributive-nominal bases, which, depending on the contextual environment, express an adverbial feature and belong to the category of «rolling» words.

Authors: Nedostupova Lubov V.
Published: December 2020

Among the most important tasks of linguists-dialectologists at the present time is the study of the territorial forms of existence of the national language due to the shrinking space of their functioning. This work gives an idea of ​​one dialect of the Central Black Earth Region of Russia. The purpose of this study was to identify in a specific language the disappearing farm Redkodub of the Alekseevsky district of the Belgorod region the distinctive features of phonetics and morphology that characterize the state of the local subdialect in the 21st century, not previously studied. To achieve a goal, the author uses the following methods: interviewing, observation (identifying facts and determining their features), interpretation, comparison and analysis. The object of exploration interest was the speech of the old residents of the surveyed settlement, unique in its kind. The work considers the phonetic and morphological features of the dialect. Its following characteristic features were found: acania; use of hard consonants in place of soft ones before “e”, “and”; “G” of fricative education; using “x” in place of “k”; the use of “хв”, “хф” in place of “f”; “And” in place of “yat”; simplification of sounds in different parts of the word; loss of a consonant at the beginning of a word and a vowel at the end of a word; iotaatsiya - the appearance of the consonant sound “y” in different parts of the word; cases of lengthening of the final syllable in words; the appearance of an inserted vowel; no transition from “e” to “o” after soft consonants; the use of the vowel “y” in place of “in” and “in” in place of “y”; epenthesis; replacing “c” with “s”; maintaining the softness of consonants before “and” in place of “e” and “o”; stunning voiced consonants in the middle and at the end of words; transfer of stress in words; the ending “-я” in the nominative plural; the ending “-y” for nouns in the genitive singular; the endings “-iv”, “-in-” in the genitive plural; destruction of the category of the genus; the use of the postfix “-sya” in place of “-s” in reflexive verbs, etc. It is concluded that the present subdialect has the properties of the Russian dialect and Ukrainian language systems. The author believes that the dialect of the disappearing farm Redkodub can be attributed to a mixed Russian-Ukrainian and argues that the most valuable thing for us is the original folk speech, which is not very influenced by the literary language.
Minitexts in American media-discourse (based on the titles of YouTube videos featuring Donald Trump)
Authors: Kharkovskaya Antonina A. , Cherkunova Marina V.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the linguo-pragmatic analysis of the titles in the Internet media discourse. The research is based on 300 English titles of YouTube programmes devoted to Donald Trump and his activities that were uploaded within the period of 2016 to 2020. The aforesaid titles are considered as minitexts possessing the whole set of basic characteristics typical of the traditional language units of textual format. The authors take the premise that a title reflects all the functional and pragmatic features of the material it refers to, however, due to its small volume it proves to be more beneficial for eliciting the ways how linguistic and discourse means interact in the process of text production. The research is carried out with the help of the following methods: discourse analysis, interpretative analysis, descriptive method including functional and stylistic identification techniques. The contextual analysis of the selected titles contributes to determination of the focal points of the public interest concerning the figure of the American President on the one hand and it also helps to discover the trends within the public attitude evaluative vectors on the other hand, which prove to be outspokenly critical. Further on the linguistic peculiarities of the mini-format titles are studied in view of their lexical, syntactical and expressive specific features. All the data obtained is systematized in terms of a multi-level framework of language means expressing the public attitude to the figure of the American President. What is more, the ways of enhancing the pragmatic effect of the titles are elicited with regard to the extralinguistic factors such as the particular target audience, the specific communication setting and the channel of transmitting information.

The effects of the repeated solution heat treatment on hardness, tensile strength and microstructure of aluminum were studied. For this purpose, an alloy of AA6061-T6 was undergo to cyclic solution heat treatment process which is composed of repeated period (10 min) held at 520 °C for 1, 4, 8 and 12 cycles. The hardness was tested for five aging times (as quenching, one week, three weeks, one month and five months) to all cycles (1, 4, 8 and 12) firstly and it is found that the hardness of five months as aging time for all cycles has the best results (90Hv) as compared with others (as quenching, one week, three weeks, and one month), so it was adopted for all cycles to implement the tensile test and the microstructure. Hardness results were improved to Vickers hardness of (90Hv) with increasing of cycles up to 8 cycles then decreasing after that to (45Hv). Tensile results were showed an increment (34%) also for the same group of 8 cycles compared with (17%) and (9%) for 4 and 12 cycles, respectively. Microstructure is revealed that whenever cycles are increased, the precipitate phase in alloy is increased also, thus, it is improved the hardness and tensile strength.

Deep learning modeling could provide to detected Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19) which is a critical task these days to make a treatment decision according to the diagnostic results. On the other hand, advances in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and medical imaging techniques allow demonstrating impressive performance, especially in problems of detection, classification, and segmentation. These innovations enabled physicians to see the human body with high accuracy, which led to an increase in the accuracy of diagnosis and non-surgical examination of patients. There are many imaging models used to detect COVID-19, but we use computerized tomography (CT) because is commonly used. Moreover, we use for detection a deep learning model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) for COVID-19 detection. The dataset has been used is 544 slice of CT scan which is not sufficient for high accuracy, but we can say that it is acceptable because of the few datasets available in these days. The proposed model achieves validation and test accuracy 84.4% and 90.09%, respectively. The proposed model has been compared with other models to prove superiority of our model over the other models.

Twitter is a popular social media platform for communicating between its users by writing short messages in limited characters, called tweets. Extracting data information that has non-structured form and huge-sized, usually known as text mining. Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana Indonesia (@BNPB_Indonesia) is the official twitter account of the government agency in the field of disaster management that uses twitter to share much information about disasters that have occurred in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the characteristics of all tweets and to group the types of tweets that they shared based on the similarity of its content. The data used in the study came from BNPB Indonesia's tweets with the period of taking tweets 6th of August 2018 to 16th of February 2019. The cluster result obtained by the k-Means method was 4 groups. The characteristics of the first cluster contained information about the weather conditions in Yogyakarta, the second cluster was about the source and magnitude of an earthquake, and the third group was about the occurrence of earthquakes in Lombok. However, the fourth group characteristic couldn’t be specifically identified because there was no clear distinction between other tweets in its members.

ABSTRAKMUHAMAD FEBRI RAMDANI. Implementasi Kebijakan Agraria dan Ketimpangan Penguasaan Lahan (Kasus Lahan Eks HGU di Desa Cipeuteuy, Kecamatan Kabandungan, Kabupaten Sukabumi, Provinsi Jawa Barat). Dibimbing oleh MARTUA SIHALOHO.Redistribusi lahan yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah sebuah upaya implementasi kebijakan agraria. Kebijakan agraria tersebut berupa asset reform (penataan aset) eks lahan perkebunan dengan skema legalisasi aset berwujud sertifikasi bidang lahan. Namun dalam pelaksanannya pemerintah mengklaim bahwa kebijakan tersebut merupakan agenda reforma agraria. Atas dasar klaim tersebut, penting untuk meninjau access reform (penataan akses) bekerja, karena pada hakikatnya reforma agraria merupakan asset reform (penataan aset) dan access reform (penataan akses) yang berjalan beriringan, dengan bertujuan untuk menata ketimpangan penguasaan lahan agar terwujudnya keadilan agraria (agrarian justice). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kuantitatif yang didukung kualitatif dengan pendekatan sensus. Metode yang digunakan untuk menentukan responden ialah purposive sampling dengan teknik non probability sampling. Pengolahan data menggunakan uji statistik rank spearman untuk melihat hubungan variabel. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh menunjukan bahwa tingkat asset reform berada pada kategori rendah. Hasil uji statistik menunjukan bahwa asset reform berhubungan dengan access reform dan asset reform berhubungan dengan ketimpangan penguasaan lahan.Kata kunci: access reform, asset reform, keadilan agraria, reforma agrariaABSTRACTMUHAMAD FEBRI RAMDANI. Implementation of Agrarian Policy and Land Tenure Inequality (Case of Ex-HGU Land in Cipeuteuy Village, Kabandungan District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java Province). Supervised by MARTUA SIHALOHO.Land redistribution has been done by government as an effort of agrarian policy implementation. The policy came in form of asset reform of ex-plantation land with asset legalization scheme (land-part certification). But the government claimed that this policy is one of the agrarian reform agenda. It is important to observe how this access reform works, because agrarian and access reform can’t be separated one another, with purpose to reduce the inequality of land tenure so that the agrarian justice can be reach. This research used quantitative method supported by qualitative data, using the census approachment. Purposive sampling with non probabilty sampling used to specify the respondent. The data processed by rank spearman statistic test to analyze the relation between variable. This research shows a low level of asset reform. The statistic test shows that the low asset reform have a strong relation to low access reform, and high inequality of land tenure.Key words: access reform, agrarian justice, agrarian reform, asset reform

The availability of new radioactive ion beams has broadened the study of nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. The main mechanism to produce the secondary beams is the fragmentation of the projectile. An alternative method for the production of the exotic nuclei is the multinucleon transfer. We measured production cross section for the B, C, N and O isotopes in the reaction 18O + Ta and the beam energy at 10 MeV/nucleon. The cross-sections were obtained by integrating the momentum distributions of the isotopes. It was shown that in deep inelastic processes the production yields of different isotopes could be well described using statistical models and could also be explained by the Qgg-systematic.
