Published: January 2023

O arroz (Oryza sativa) foi introduzido no Brasil em 1530 pelo comboio de Pedro Álvares Cabral na Capitania de São Vicente. A expansão da produção ocorreu primeiro no litoral e posteriormente para o interior do Brasil com as pastagens e o cultivo do café. É o segundo cereal mais produzido e consumido no mundo, ficando atrás apenas do trigo. Esta pesquisa objetivou fazer um levantamento da produção e do mercado de arroz. Para compreender o mercado do arroz foram realizadas pesquisas teóricas e quantitativas para ordenar e classificar os países participantes deste mercado. O cultivo de arroz ocorre principalmente em países populosos e de baixa renda. No Brasil a produção concentra-se na região sul, que é responsável por mais de 82% da produção. Em 2020 os estoques mundiais foram de 37% das necessidades de consumo. A China dominou o mercado de arroz, como maior produtor e importador; sétimo maior exportador; e, com um consumo per capita anual acima de 100 Kg. O Brasil foi o 9º maior produtor, 10º maior exportador, 18º maior importador. Os principais compradores do arroz brasileiro foram a Venezuela (20,6%) e o Peru (12,1%). A maior parte das importações de arroz do Brasil foram dos países do Mercosul. O consumo per capita de arroz beneficiado no Brasil em 2022 foi 33,1 Kg. O arroz é um produto acessível para o trabalhador de baixa renda, e qualquer mudança no consumo ou na oferta pode provocar desequilíbrios nos preços de mercado.

Authors: De Souza Maria Cassia Cardoso , Silva Gerusa dos Santos , Rodrigues Lilian Segnini
Published: January 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no mercado de trabalho no contexto da administração pública federal e, a partir deste ingresso, sua inclusão em cargos de liderança. Para isso, foi feito um levantamento em órgãos públicos federais através da plataforma Fala BR da Controladoria Geral da União, onde foram enviadas questões que abordam tanto o ingresso da PCD no serviço público quanto a inclusão dessas pessoas em cargos de liderança. As respostas dos órgãos públicos federais foram tabuladas e analisadas à luz do debate teórico sobre o tema. Parte-se da hipótese de que o percentual de PCD nos órgãos públicos é muito inferior ao quantitativo de servidores desses órgãos e que o percentual de PCD em cargos de liderança é quase nulo. Os resultados comprovam a hipótese previamente levantada. O percentual de PCDs no serviço público federal não chega a 2% e o percentual desses em cargos de liderança é de 0,29%, comparado com o total de servidores da amostra de órgãos públicos.

Authors: Julio Fabíola Damiani , Bueno Ana Flávia Garcia Moraes
Published: January 2023

O Brasil é competitivo na fruticultura demonstrando potencial para se tornar um país exportador de frutas e a exportação de abacates se mostra como uma oportunidade de diversificação e rentabilidade maior da atividade agrícola. A indústria mundial de abacate é muito promissora e o Brasil possui condições de participar ativamente nesse mercado. Há possibilidade de exportar os frutos “in natura’’ e também os subprodutos da fruta como polpa congelada e óleo de abacate. Os frutos que não apresentam os padrões de exportação podem ser processados e exportados na forma de subprodutos agregando valor a produção. As vantagens de se produzir abacate no Brasil são período de colheita longo permitindo a escolha das épocas mais adequadas para exportação e disponibilidade de vasta extensão territorial e condições edafoclimáticas. Para mensurar a competitividade do abacate brasileiro no mercado internacional foi calculado o índice de vantagens comparativas reveladas no período de 2000 a 2011. O resultado encontrado variou de 0,11 a 0,22 evidenciando a ausência de vantagem comparativa revelada. Contudo as exportações brasileiras vêm aumentando no período analisado evidenciando que o Brasil parece estar mais atento para as oportunidades internacionais.

Protective Effect of Curcumin on CA1 Region of Hippocampus in Rat Model of Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Authors: Yavari Negin , Sharifi Zahra Nadia , Rekabdar Yasamin , Movassaghi Shabnam
Published: January 2023

Background: The brain is the most complex and vital organ of the human body. It requires 20-25 % of the total oxygen supply. Because of the limited oxygen and glucose reserves, brain tissue is sensitive to ischemic injury. Indeed, the tolerance of brain tissue for ischemic injury is fragile. Currently, few therapeutic strategies could provide complete neuroprotection. Despite decades of intense research, the beneficial treatment of stroke remains limited. Hence, we aimed to investigate the effect of curcumin on the CA1 region of the hippocampus in a rat model of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=8 per group) as control, I/R, and I/R plus curcumin. All rats underwent bilateral common carotid artery ligation followed by reperfusion. In the treatment group, curcumin (300 mg/kg) was injected 30 minutes before ischemia. Morphological changes of the hippocampus were assessed using Nissl staining, and apoptosis was determined via TUNEL immunohistochemical assays. Results: Nissl staining data showed that the administration of curcumin significantly ameliorated the CA1 pyramidal cell loss due to transient global I/R injury. TUNEL immunohistochemical assays demonstrated that the number of apoptotic cells was significantly lower in the curcumin group than in the I/R groups. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that curcumin had beneficial activity against ischemia and played a neuroprotective role in the pathogenesis of I/R injury.

Authors: Hashemi Mehrdad , Haghighatfard Arvin , Salehi Mitra , Saberi Seyed Mehdi
Published: January 2023

Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a major psychiatric disorder with unclear etiology and biological diagnosis. Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a type-A personality disorder characterized by paranoia and generalized mistrust. The etiology and molecular mechanisms of SCZ and PPD are not clarified. The present study aimed to examine the expression alteration of three major genes of mitochondrial complex I in the peripheral blood of patients with SCZ and PPD, and its correlations with clinical features of patients, especially the five major personality traits. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed on 735 SCZ, 742 PPD, and 750 non-psychiatric individuals. The mRNAs level of NDUFS1, NDUFV1, and NDUFV2 were assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and their correlations with psychiatric symptoms were assessed by the positive and negative syndrome scale and the brief psychiatric rating scale tests, as well as personality traits that were evaluated by NEO Five-Factor Inventory. Results: Findings showed significant overexpression of NDUFS1, NDUFV1, and NDUFV2 in patients with SCZ (P=0.001, P=0.002, and P=0.004, respectively) and PPD (P=0.001, P=0.003, and P=0.006, respectively) compared with non-psychiatrists. In addition, these genes were associated with positive psychiatric symptoms and neuroticism in SCZ (P=0.008) and PPD (P=0.01). Conclusion: Overexpression genes that encode subunits of complex I play an important role in SCZ and PPD etiology and severity of symptoms. It may bring evidence about the significant role of bioenergetics dysfunction in psychotic behaviors in different psychiatric situations.

Published: January 2023

Background: Chlordiazepoxide is an anti-anxiety drug commonly used by young people and pregnant women to reduce anxiety. The adverse effects of this drug on cholinergic nervous system function have been demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, the effect of chlordiazepoxide consumption during pregnancy was evaluated on the rats infant hippocampus. Materials and Methods: Nine pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided (n=3 per group) into control, experimental (daily intraperitoneal injection of chlordiazepoxide at a dose of 10 mg/kg for 21 days), and vehicle (same amount of normal saline) groups. Two weeks after birth, the neonate brains were removed from the skull and prepared for Nissl and TUNEL stainings. The expressions of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes were evaluated. Results: The number of healthy neurons in different areas of the neonatal hippocampus in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared to control and vehicle groups, and the number of apoptotic bodies was increased (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the numbers of these cells in the control and vehicle groups. The expression of pro-apoptotic genes in the experimental group increased significantly compared to the control group instead of the expression of anti-apoptotic genes decreased significantly. Conclusion: Chlordiazepoxide during pregnancy can cause neuronal damage in the hippocampus of neonatal Wistar rats.

Background: Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and inducible costimulator (ICOS) are immune checkpoint receptors participating in tumor immune evasion, which counters the activation signal provided through the T-cell receptor ligation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of PD-1 and ICOS on mononuclear cells (MNCs) isolated from the peripheral blood of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and their response to induction chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood samples (5cc) were collected from 56 AML patients at first diagnosis before and after the induction therapy regimen for AML. PD-1 and ICOS expression were analyzed in all patients before and after the standard induction therapy regimen. Results: The expression of PD-1 and ICOS significantly decreased (66.7 and 16.3 fold, respectively) in AML patients following chemotherapy compared to its baseline value (P=0.01 and P=0.001, respectively). The expressions of PD-1 and ICOS were significantly different between favorable and poor risk groups. Conclusions: Lower PD-1 and ICOS expressions on the surface of MNCs before induction therapy were associated with a better response to treatments. In addition, PD-1 and ICOS expression on MNCs decreased after induction therapy.

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are a source of stem cells that can be easily harvested and differentiated into numerous cells. Over the past few decades, these cells have been introduced as promising therapeutic candidates for different diseases. Different studies have shown the role of these cells in regenerative medicine. Tumor growth is correlated with the interactions between MSCs and tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment. The precise key role played by MSCs in the progression of tumors is under question, and the effect of MSCs on the tumor is controversial it might involve the development of tumor initiation or prevent the spread of already existing ones. In this study, we reviewed the role of MSCs in the tumor microenvironment and their influence on promoting or inhibiting tumor progression.
Ponownie w sprawie zakresu odpowiedzialności karnej osoby nieletniej według Kodeksu karnego z 1997 r. (zagadnienie form popełnienia czynu zabronionego) – uwagi o metodzie rozwiązania problemu
Authors: Pohl Łukasz
Published: January 2023

In the Polish criminal law it is an issue which causes far-reaching interpretation discrepancies what the scope of criminal acts is for whose commission a minor can be held liable according to general principles specified in the Criminal Code. In this paper a solution is presented based on a derivational conception of statutory interpretation. Application of this conception leads to the conclusion that the scope of such acts is only limited to those behaviours that in Polish criminal law are referred to as direct perpetration. Therefore, the possibility is rejected of holding a minor criminally liable according to the principle laid down in the Polish Criminal Code if they commit other criminal acts, in particular in case of organising the perpetration of an offence; directing a person to commit an offence; inciting; aiding and abetting; attempted offence.
Facility Management Challenges of Public Educational Facilities in Nigeria
Authors: Babalola Ayotunde
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the inconsistencies between the construction stage and the uptake of the facility management phase of constructed public educational facilities in developing countries. Maintenance issues arise from this time that may affect the utility expected of the facility which may or may not be connected to the construction phase. A quantitative research approach was utilised for this study. Close-ended questionnaires were distributed to forty four facility managers and construction professionals in maintenance departments of selected public educational institutions in Ekiti, South west Nigeria. Descriptive statistics was utilised in the interpretation of results. Analysed data relate the need to institute comprehensive maintenance management policies and plans for the effective management of higher educational facilities to prolong their utility and lifespan. Introducing standard maintenance contracts and contract conditions for improving the efficiency of built assets in HEIs through policy organs such as TETfund and improving the awareness of facility management practice especially among industry policymakers is recommended. Facility management contracts must be defined to take care of operations and the maintenance phase of buildings and facilities in public educational institutions. If these thoughts are envisaged at the pre-tender stage, they will be easier to implement. The study was based on a purposive sampling of public educational facilities in a specific geographical area. The findings cannot easily be generalized. This study contributes to the literature on Facilities Management globally and in Nigeria and suggests the improvement of facility management awareness in public higher educational institutions and the development of structured facility management contracts.

Background: Unintentional poisoning is a critical type of poisoning by which people injure themselves with no intention. Such a condition occurs accidentally, occupationally, or through abusive manners. The present study aims to examine the one-year frequency and causes of unintentional poisoning in patients treated by the prehospital emergency center in Qaemshahr City, Iran, in 2016. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study of 259 patients with unintentional poisoning. The variables were extracted and then registered in the questionnaires. The data were analyzed by the SPSS software. Results: In this study, 83.8% of the patients were male and 16.2% were female. Most toxicity cases (89.1%) were unintentional as a result of drug abuse in the forms of tramadol abuse (42.8%), narcotic drugs (26.6%), and alcohol (19.7%), ranking 1 to 3, respectively. A total of 48.2% of the unintentional poisoning cases were caused by medicinal factors and other cases (51.8%) were due to non-medicinal agents. Benzodiazepines and cardiovascular drugs were the most common drugs causing a medicinal overdose. Gastrointestinal poisoning was the most prevalent way of toxicity (77.6%) and the rate of death was 4%. Conclusion: The results of the present study and similar research show that unintentional poisoning includes large populations of toxicity cases that occur mainly by drug abuse, such as tramadol and narcotic drugs. This study can be considered a pattern to conduct more research in the relevant fields.

Published: January 2023

У статті описується процес становлення та розвитку цифрової інфраструктури й розглядаються зміни, що відбуваються в результаті цього, у різних секторах та сферах суспільного життя. Автори стверджують, що ефективна робота інфраструктури насьогодні неабияка залежить від новітній технології які пришвидшують хід цифрової трансформації “інфраструктурного полотна” країни. Разом з тим, цифрова інфраструктура здатна якісно змінити екосистему національної економіки, сформувати нові механізми, методи управління, налагодити миттєву співпрацю через мережеві сервіси, напрацювати подальші інноваційні напрями її розвитку.
Автори розглядають опорну та сервісну цифрові інфраструктури. У статті представлено порівняння кожної з них та зазначено, що синергетичний потенціал соціальних, мобільних, хмарних технологій, технологій аналізу даних, Інтернету речей, окремо та в сукупності, здатні привести до трансформаційних змін у державному управлінні та зробити державний сектор ефективним, реактивним, ціннісним. В підсумку зазначимо, що становлення цифрової інфраструктури, процес повсюдний, складний та поступовий, але надає великі можливості для розвитку суб’єктів ринку всіх сфер економіки при використанні інформаційних технологій, які є основою для перетворень у суспільстві з урахуванням матеріальних та соціальних цінностей.
До небезпек та загроз, що виникають  в результаті відцифрування інфраструктури віднесено: кіберзлочинність (досить часто до роботи анонімних хакерських угрупувань та викрадень даних причетні навіть окремі держави); цифрова нерівність та дискримінація; відсутність гарантії цифрових прав. У статті названо соціально-економічні вигоди, корисності від функціонування цифрової інфраструктури, серед чого: впровадження електронного документообігу; більш відкритий та доступний ринок; підвищення рівня виробництва; спрощення фінансових операцій, підвищення ролі електронних та цифрових грошей; розвиток можливостей дистанційної роботи; зниження собівартості товарів та послуг; зниження рівня бюрократії; уможливлює інтегральну взаємодію віртуального та фізичного, тобто створює кіберфізичний простір.
ТАЛАНТ-МЕНЕДЖМЕНТ ЯК НЕВІД’ЄМНА СКЛАДОВА УСПІХУ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ
Authors: Tymoshenko Vitaliy
Published: January 2023

В статті визначено значення талант-менеджменту, що виступає в якості невід’ємної складової успіху організації. Розкрито сутність терміну «талант-менеджмент» різними науковцями. З’ясовано, що під терміном «талант-менеджмент» варто розуміти своєрідну систему норм, головних принципових положень, методів, прийомів і форм, які мають на меті пошук, швидке пристосування, розвиток та управління роботою талановито-прогресивних людей, які володіють вмінням швидко навчатися та досягати поставлених цілей, продукувати новітні ідеї, відображати власну адаптацію до змін, за рахунок чого дають можливість організації забезпечувати успішну роботу. Визначено, що головна мета талант-менеджменту в організації полягає у пошуку, притягнення та забезпеченні подальшого ефективного розвитку талановитих працівників, а також у виявленні та усуненні нерезультативних, які перешкоджають реалізації можливостей наявних талантів. Проаналізовано чинники, які впливають на міру ефективності існуючої системи талант-менеджменту в організації, а саме відчуття емоційно-психологічної симпатії до талановитих працівників, наявність керівника-лідера в організації, ефективність організаційної культури в організації, а також поділ талановитих кадрів. З’ясовано, що вони мають брати до уваги наявну ситуацію на вітчизняному ринку праці, оскільки сучасний ринок праці розвивається доволі нерівномірно, що пов’язано з тим, що найбільше талановитих людей концентрується здебільшого у центральній частині України, а в регіонах чимало організацій докладають чимало зусиль для пошуку талантів. Наведено головні перепони для впровадження талант-менеджменту. Встановлено, що недостатня увага з боку керівництва до системи талант-менеджменту в організації може зумовити звільнення працівників. Тому задля оптимізації організаційно-управлінських процесів та забезпечення ефективності системи талант-менеджменту, організації повинні використовувати належні інструменти оцінки та зважати на головні важелі впливу.

Встановлено, що на сучасному етапі інформатизації освіти важливе місце посідають міждисциплінарні знання, нові інформаційні технології та вміння їх застосування в освітньому процесі. З огляду на це, підготовка сучасного, здатного до навчання протягом всього життя фахівця неможлива без уміння застосовувати наукові методи пізнання в освітньому процесі, здійснювати інтегроване навчання учнів. Встановлено, що розвиток фізики та інших наук відбувається в тісній єдності з розвитком методу моделювання. Моделювання в освітньому процесі одночасно виступає методом наукового пізнання, є частиною змісту навчального матеріалу різних дисциплін (предметів) та ефективним засобом їх вивчення. Особливо зросла роль в науці й освітньому процесі методу моделювання із появою комп’ютерних моделей. Використовуючи моделі, які реалізовані за допомогою програмних засобів, дослідник може змінювати відповідні параметри досліджуваного об’єкта, встановлювати функціональні залежності між відповідними величинами тощо. Поряд з тим, для оволодіння моделюванням як методом наукового пізнання студенту (учневі) недостатньо ознайомитись із поняттями моделі та моделюванням, проводити дослідження із використанням комп’ютерних моделей. Потрібно, щоб студенти (учні) були залучені до процесу створення комп’ютерних моделей. Це дозволить студентам (учням) ознайомитись з етапами побудови комп’ютерних моделей, глибше зрозуміти суть логічних відношень між оригіналом і комп’ютерною моделлю. Встановлено, що одним із інструментів створення комп’ютерних моделей на мові програмування Java є технологія JavaFX. Вона дозволяє створювати додатки з використанням візуальних ефектів, трансформації та анімації зображень, декларативного способу опису інтерфейсу за допомогою мови розмітки FXML, стилізації інтерфейсу за допомогою CSS та ін. Проілюстровано процес створення комп’ютерної моделі на основі JavaFX у лабораторній роботі «Рух молекул газу під дією сили тяжіння», яку студенти виконують при вивченні курсу «Моделювання фізичних явищ і процесів».

The use of bioplastic film has been gaining a lot of interest especially in food packaging, however knowledge on its stability during handling is limited. Moisture sorption isotherm is a study that determines the stability of the film when exposed to certain environmental conditions. The gravimetric method was used to determine the moisture sorption isotherm of cassava starch film incorporated with kaffir lime essential oil (EO) at 30°C and 40°C. The moisture content increases with increasing water activity for both 30°C and 40°C. The sorption data were fitted into 3 models and Oswin was found to be the best model to fit the data with R2 of 0.93 to 0.97. The sorption data were used to determine the net isosteric heat of sorption (qst) through the application of Clausius – Clapeyron equation which provides an approximation of the minimum energy required to remove water from a solid. Generally, the qst decreases exponentially with an increase in moisture content regardless of whether the film contains EO. The incorporation of EO within these temperatures does not affect the moisture content and heat of sorption of the starch-based bioplastic film, which shows its stability and potential as an additive in food packaging film.

PURCHASING POWER PARITY THEORY: A CROSS-SECTIONAL DEPENDENCE PANEL DATA ANALYSIS OF SIXTEEN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
Authors: Choji Niri Martha , Sek Siok Kun
Published: January 2023

This paper examined the purchasing power parity (PPP) theory for a group of sixteen developed countries using powerful statistical panel data methods that account for cross-sectional dependence. The paper utilized the Pesaran panel unit root test, the cointegration test of Westerlund, the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimator, the Common Correlated Effect Mean Group (CCEMG) estimator, and the panel data Granger non-causality test of Dumitricus and Hurlin to analyze the causal relationships among the variables involved in the study. The tests showed that the PPP theory occurs in this group of countries. Furthermore, outcomes of the long-run estimation revealed both depreciation and appreciation of the nominal exchange rates. Apart from providing important policy implications on the results obtained, this paper made another significant contribution by extending the linear AMG and CCEMG estimators into nonlinear estimators and further used them in examining the long-run PPP theory.
Language and Gender: A Pragmatic Discourse of Convenience Inscriptions
Authors: JOSHUA SAMUEL , Jaja Evans C.
Published: January 2023

This study examines how the discourse of language and gender are employed in describing convenient inscriptions in different locations across the world. The study set out to find out, among other things, how gender is portrayed through convenience inscriptions; the specific language devices used in the selected inscriptions and also determining the contextual interpretation of these inscriptions. Making references to the difference and multimodal discourse analysis frameworks, the researchers employed a qualitative eclectic approach in the description and analysis of the data, which were extracted through personal screenshots from Twitter. The findings from the study show that convenience inscriptions have glorified communicative worth and gender portrayal through a variety of themes such as sex, loquaciousness and sports. Also, the study shows that language devices such as text/textuality, symbolism, visual imagery and satire/sarcasm play significant roles in the make-up of convenience inscriptions and their relevance to gender.

Confirmation Bias in Our Opinions on
Social Media: A Qualitative Approach
Authors: Ahmad Ghani Ahmad Noor Hazim , Rahmat Hawa
Published: January 2023

Personal opinions are shaped by several factors, such as social, political, and economic issues. Subconscious bias is caused by factors such as the socioeconomic environment in which a person was raised, information gleaned from a network of friends, acquaintances, co-workers, as well as information from all other information sources. Confirmation bias is the propensity to look for evidence that supports one's preconceived notions rather than contradicts them. Due to its pressure on influencing personal opinions, confirmation bias has recently come back into focus as a topic of discussion, and social media today seems to have the biggest impact on the creation of confirmation bias in personal opinions on a variety of issues. Owing to social media's immense fame and popularity today, it has turned into a source of confirmation bias. Therefore, what are the factors that contribute to confirmation bias in our opinions on social media? How does confirmation bias shape our opinions on social media? A semi-structured interview was conducted with six (6) informants to seek answers to what and how confirmation bias shapes our opinions on social media. This study produced four themes, which are education level, algorithm, conformity, and self-control. Briefly, social media does shape confirmation bias in internet users' personal opinions. Finally, the current study has a limitation in that it only looks at social media, personal opinions, and confirmation bias.
A Cross-Cultural Pragmatic Study of Online
Complaints by Japanese and Malaysian
Hotel Guests in English
Authors: Madon Hariyani , Sekhon Kuldip Kaur
Published: January 2023

This study examined the rhetorical moves of complaints and the complaint strategies used by Japanese and Malaysian hotel guests between two cultural groups. Swales's (1981) move analysis was applied to identify and analyse the moves, while Trosborg's (1995) taxonomy of strategies was employed to analyse the speech act of complaints. The study's objectives are to investigate the communicative moves used by Japanese and Malaysian when expressing their regret through TripAdvisor and to analyse the complaint strategies used by Japanese and Malaysians when performing complaints online. The descriptive qualitative research method was employed, and data comprised 40 negative reviews towards hotels in Langkawi. The study used online reviews from TripAdvisor's website, to examine the negative feedback from Japanese and Malaysian guests in the English language were posted. The findings showed that the complaints' communicative moves had six moves: Opening, Dissatisfaction, Explanation, Recommendation, Closing, and Compliment, which were adapted from Morrow and Yamanouchi (2020). Moreover, findings of the move frequencies revealed that both the Japanese and Malaysian hotel guests would elaborate their frustration in detail as the 'Explanation' move. However, Malaysian travellers indicated more reasons and sequences of frustration than Japanese travellers. Furthermore, the sequence of the moves is not in a proper structure of conveying a complaint on TripAdvisor, whereby the 'Compliment' move was found either in the beginning, in the middle or in the ending parts of the text. Taxonomy of the complaint strategies by Trosborg (1995) was verified as follows: 1) 27.5% of No Explicit Reproach, 2) 35% of Disapproval Expression, 3) 22.5% of Accusation, and 4) 15% of Blame. In summary, the findings revealed that the two groups have comparable approach selections but differ in terms of complaint moves, complaint strategies, and language phrases for expressing frustration. Thus, knowing cross-cultural similarities and differences in speech acts can help avoid possible intercultural miscommunication, and managing negative customer reviews is pertinent for the hotel industry to improve intercultural communication.
О задаче дифракции сферической звуковой волны на упругом неоднородном анизотропном шаре с абсолютно твердым включением

Представлена математическая постановка задачи дифракции сферической звуковой волны на линейно упругом радиально-неоднородном трансверсально-изотропном шаре с абсолютно твёрдым включением. Шар характеризуется плотностью, упругими константами - компонентами тензора упругости - и внешним и внутренним радиусами. Описанный выше шар помещён в трёхмерное неограниченное пространство, заполненное идеальной жидкостью с определёнными значениями плотности и скорости звука. В постановке описаны входные данные и некоторые их ограничения. Представлен алгоритм решения поставленной задачи дифракции. Алгоритм является частично аналитическим, частично численным. Падающая сферическая волна, рассеянная шаром звуковая волна и упругие волны, распространяющиеся внутри упругого шара, представляются в виде бесконечных сумм. Определение рассеянной шаром волны сводится к определению коэффициентов разложения рассеянного волнового поля в бесконечную сумму. Для определения данных коэффициентов решается краевая задача. Дифференциальные уравнения в данной краевой задаче являются обыкновенными дифференциальными уравнениями, описывающими волны в упругом шаре и полученными из общих уравнений движения сплошной среды. Данные дифференциальные уравнения дополняются граничными условиями на поверхностях упругого шара. На внешней поверхности граничные условия - это непрерывность скорости, нормального и касательного напряжений. На внутренней поверхности - непрерывность смещений. Решение краевой задачи с данными условиями позволяет вычислить смещения внутри шара при распространении волны и. через них, коэффициенты рассеянной телом звуковой волны. Для демонстрации решения задачи с помощью программной реализации приводятся результаты численных исследований для некоторых частных входных данных.
