MULTIMODAL DEPRESSION CLASSIFICATION USING ARTICULATORY COORDINATION FEATURES AND HIERARCHICAL ATTENTION BASED TEXT EMBEDDINGS
Authors: Seneviratne Nadee , Espy-Wilson Carol
Published: March 2022

Multimodal depression classification has gained immense popularity over the recent years. We develop a multimodal depression classification system using articulatory coordination features extracted from vocal tract variables and text transcriptions obtained from an automatic speech recognition tool that yields improvements of area under the receiver operating characteristics curve compared to unimodal classifiers (7.5\% and 13.7\% for audio and text respectively). We show that in the case of limited training data, a segment-level classifier can first be trained to then obtain a session-wise prediction without hindering the performance, using a multi-stage convolutional recurrent neural network. A text model is trained using a Hierarchical Attention Network (HAN). The multimodal system is developed by combining embeddings from the session-level audio model and the HAN text model.
PARADIGMA FILOSOFIS ILMU PENGETAHUAN

Published: March 2022

Kebenaran yang diberikan oleh agama cenderung bertumpu pada nilai-nilai kebenaran yaitu dirujuk kepada Tuhan. Kebenaran yang dihasilkan oleh filsafat cenderung memberikan pemahaman yang mendalam pemikiran reflektif, yang kurang terhubung dengan Tuhan. Sedangkan kebenaran yang diberikan oleh ilmu terdiri dari nilai-nilai pengetahuan yang tidak konsisten dan berubah mengikuti perkembangan kehidupan manusia. Ilmu pengetahuan terus berkembang, begitu pula dengan perkembangan manusia itu sendiri. Kontribusi ilmu pengetahuan bagi kehidupan manusia sangat besar, terutama bagi perkembangan pemikiran manusia. Sebuah filosofi, ilmu dan agama memiliki hubungan yang erat. Hal ini dikarenakan tujuan ketiganya, yaitu pencarian kebenaran. Namun, tiga aspek disebut secara horizontal relatif satu sama lain, dan namun secara vertikal, sebagai penulis, hanya agama yang memilikinya. Agama termasuk hubungan horizontal dalam filsafat dan ilmu pengetahuan, juga memiliki hubungan vertikal dengan Tuhan itu sebagai penyembahan manusia itu sendiri. Adapun dinamika dari filsafat ilmu yaitu terbagi menjadi 5 zaman yaitu : zaman Yunani kuno atau zaman purba, zaman yunani kuno Ii, zaman pertengahan, zaman modern, dan zaman kontemporer. Epistemologi ilmu pengetahuan adalah merupakan salah satu cabang filsafat yang mengkaji secara mendalam dan radikal tentang asal mula pengetahuan, struktur, metode, dan validitas pengetahuan.
Contrastive Learning with Positive-Negative Frame Mask\\ for Music Representation

Published: March 2022

Self-supervised learning, especially contrastive learning, has made an outstanding contribution to the development of many deep learning research fields. Recently, researchers in the acoustic signal processing field noticed its success and leveraged contrastive learning for better music representation. Typically, existing approaches maximize the similarity between two distorted audio segments sampled from the same music. In other words, they ensure a semantic agreement at the music level. However, those coarse-grained methods neglect some inessential or noisy elements at the frame level, which may be detrimental to the model to learn the effective representation of music. Towards this end, this paper proposes a novel Positive-nEgative frame mask for Music Representation based on the contrastive learning framework, abbreviated as PEMR. Concretely, PEMR incorporates a Positive-Negative Mask Generation module, which leverages transformer blocks to generate frame masks on Log-Mel spectrogram. We can generate self-augmented negative and positive samples by masking important components or inessential components, respectively. We devise a novel contrastive learning objective to accommodate both self-augmented positives/negatives sampled from the same music. We conduct experiments on four public datasets. The experimental results of two music-related downstream tasks, music classification and cover song identification, demonstrate the generalization ability and transferability of music representation learned by PEMR.
Can Social Media Inform Corporate Decisions? Evidence from Merger Withdrawals
Authors: Cookson J. Anthony , Niessner Marina , Schiller Christoph M.
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the role of social media in informing corporate decision-making bystudying the decision of firm management to withdraw an announced merger. A standarddeviation decline in abnormal social media sentiment following a merger announcementpredicts a 0.73 percentage point increase in the likelihood of merger withdrawal (18.9%of the baseline rate). The informativeness of social media for merger withdrawals is notexplained by abnormal price reactions or news sentiment, and in fact, it is stronger whenthese other signals disagree. Consistent with learning from external information, we findthat the social media signal is most informative for complex mergers in which analystconference calls take a negative tone, driven by the Q&A portion of the call. Overall,these findings imply that social media is not a sideshow, but an important aspect of firminformation environment.
Emigration and Radical Right Populism
Authors: Dancygier Rafaela , Dehdari Sirus H. , Laitin David , Marbach Moritz , Vernby Kåre
Published: March 2022

An extensive literature links the rise of populist radical right (PRR) parties to immigration. We argue that another demographic trend is also significant: Emigration. The departure of citizens due to internal and international emigration is a major phenomenon affecting elections via two complementary mechanisms. Emigration alters the composition of electorates, but also changes the preferences of the left behind. Empirically, we establish a positive correlation between PRR vote shares and net-migration loss at the subnational level across Europe. A more fine-grained panel analysis of precincts in Sweden demonstrates that the departure of citizens raises PRR vote shares in places of emigration and that the Social Democrats are the principal losers from emigration. Elite interviews and newspaper analyses explore how emigration produces material and psychological grievances on which populists capitalize and that established parties do not effectively address. Emigration and the frustrations it generates emerge as important sources of populist success.

Published: March 2022

Child health development education about GPPH is very important given to families. Therefore, with the existence of health education, the incidence of GPPH in children can be reduced through the role of families in early detection of their children. This study also aims to determine the relationship between the level of family knowledge and the level of GPPH in Muslimat Nurul Anwar Kindergarten, Talangagung Village, Kepanjen District. The design of this research is Non-Experimental with Cross Sectional approach. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with a total of 43 respondents. The results showed that of 43 respondents who had knowledge of 51.16% and had children who were at high risk of GPPH as many as 62.8%. The instrument used was a closed questionnaire with 49 questions. The statistical test uses the Spearman Rank Test which shows the magnitude of the correlation coefficient between the two variables namely 0.838 with a significance of 0.029, which means there is a significant relationship between the level of family knowledge with the level of GPPH. It can be concluded that if family knowledge about early detection of GPPH is good then the level of GPPH in children can be suppressed. So the respondent is expected to be able to apply the knowledge gained to detect their children's growth and development abnormalities, especially regarding GPPH.

This research was conducted from January to April 2020 at the Research and Experimental Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Fisheries and Biology, Universitas Bangka Belitung. The experimental design used in this study was a single completely randomized design (CRD) with various gibberellin concentrations (0 ppm, 20 ppm, 40 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm, 100 ppm). Gibberellin was applied by giving it at the soaking seeds period and by spraying it onto the leaves of the plants. The results of study showed that the application of gibberellin (GA3) had a significant effect on stem diameter, leaf area, fruit weight, fruit diameter, pulp thickness and total plant dissolved solids. The application of gibberellin with 100 ppm concentration is the best treatment to increasing growth and 80 ppm concentration is the best treatment to increasing yield of melon with wick hydroponic cultivation system.
Uptake and factors associated with direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C and treatment outcomes among Canadian immigrants: A retrospective cohort analysis
Authors: Petrosyan Yelena , Simmons John-Graydon , Kelly Erin , Cooper Curtis L
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND: We sought to compare rates and factors associated with direct acting antiviral (DAA) treatment uptake and sustained virological response (SVR) between Canadian-born and foreign-born patients. METHODS: The study was conducted utilizing a retrospective cohort of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients assessed at The Ottawa Hospital Viral Hepatitis Clinic between January 2015 and October 2021. Risk factors, income, and clinical characteristics of HCV infection associated with DAA therapy uptake and SVR were compared by immigration status using logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 1,459 HCV-infected patients, 264 (18.1%) were born outside of the country. A median 17 years passed from immigration to first assessment at the clinic. The proportion of patients initiating DAA therapy was similar between groups (65.2% versus 69.5%, p = 0.17). Characteristics associated with DAA therapy uptake included age at first assessment (OR 1.02; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.03) and being cirrhotic (OR 3.19; 95% CI 1.99 to 2.13). Crude SVR rate was higher in immigrants than in Canadian-born patients (91.5% versus 83.7%, p = 0.01). After controlling for other variables, only advancing age was associated with the likelihood of achieving crude SVR (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05). CONCLUSIONS: We found that DAA therapy uptake and HCV cure rates were high in both groups suggesting equity of opportunity in those referred to our program. The older age at presentation suggests missed opportunities to diagnose and engage immigrants in HCV care. These findings emphasize the importance of early large-scale screening and engagement in care for HCV infection of immigrant populations to prevent future complications.

A simulação realística de alta fidelidade (SRAF) desempenha um papel importante na educação das profissões na área da saúde. Na Fisioterapia essas atividades têm sido acrescidas nos currículos de Fisioterapia nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, todavia, seu uso no Brasil ainda é incipiente. O objetivo foi comparar a efetividade da simulação realística de alta fidelidade ao modelo tradicional no ensino de Fisioterapia. Tratou-se de ensaio clínico randomizado envolvendo grupo experimental que recebeu uma aula de duas horas com o emprego da simulação realística de alta fidelidade com um paciente adulto de terapia intensiva versus grupo controle que recebeu aula expositiva-dialogada no modelo tradicional. Os desfechos avaliados foram o desempenho acadêmico e a satisfação dos acadêmicos avaliados por pré-teste e pós-teste. Foram investigados 66 indivíduos pela elegibilidade e todos foram aleatoriamente alocados em grupo intervenção GI (n=33) e grupo controle GC (n=28). Cinco indivíduos desistiram da intervenção controle. Alto grau de satisfação foi encontrado após o uso da SRAF com pontuação média de 19,6±0,9 (98%). Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas intra ou entre os grupos para o desfecho de desempenho acadêmico p?0,05. A SRAF foi bem recebida pelos alunos gerando um alto grau de satisfação pelo seu emprego e não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas quando comparada às metodologias de ensino para o desfecho de desempenho acadêmico.
THE REFLECTION OF THE ARAB SPRING TO THE DEMOCRATICATION OF TUNISIA: RASHID AL GANNUSHI AND THE NAHDA MOVEMENT PARTY
Authors: AKKAŞ Necmi Enes
Published: March 2022

The Republic of Tunisia, located in North Africa, is an Arab state that gained its independence from France on March 20, 1956 and witnessed the firsts. The official name of Tunisia, which came under the rule of the Turks in 1574, has remained as Tunisia since then. Tunisia, the country of firsts, was the first constitution made under Ahd-ül Aman in 1861 and the first non-governmental organization Tunisian Workers' Union was established in 1924. The first action that ignited the Arab Spring started when 26-year-old computer engineer Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire in front of the governor's office on 17 December 2010. While ethnic and sectarian turmoil led to coups d'etat and civil war in the Middle East and North African countries where the Arab Spring spread, Tunisia's weak army organization as well as the experiences of civil and political sectors in the historical process were effective in overcoming the troubles it experienced during the revolution without being dragged into civil war. One of the important factors positively affecting Tunisia's democratization process is the Ennahda Movement Party, which represents a moderate Islamist democratic politics. The name Ennahda, which is defined as the Arab awakening, the Arab resurrection, the Arab Renaissance, was given to the party led by the philosopher and politician Ghannushi. When the effects of the Arab Spring on democratization are evaluated, the Ennahda Movement Party is an important event for the development of Tunisian democracy. The study will analyze the contributions of the Ennahda Movement Party and its leader, Rashid Al-Ghannushi Gannuşi, which made significant contributions to the democratization of Tunisia, to the democratization of Tunisia. Within the scope of the study, the reflections of the Arab Spring on the Tunisian revolution and the political process will be explained.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between secondary school students' physical education and sports course aptitude levels and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style. The study is in the relational screening model. The data pair used is secondary school students' physical education lesson aptitude levels and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style in physical education and sports lessons. Three hundred twenty-six secondary school students, 166 female and 160 male, studying in the 2019-2020 academic year were included in the study (mean age 12.55±1.15). The data in the research were obtained by using the 'Needs Supportive Teaching Style Scale in Physical Education and the 'Physical Education Lesson Aptitude Scale'. Descriptive statistical methods and non-parametric data analysis methods were applied in data analysis. The findings showed a moderate positive correlation between the physical education and sports course predisposition levels of secondary school students and their perceptions of need-supportive teaching style (p<0.05). In this study, while physical education and sports course aptitude levels and need supportive teaching style perceptions did not differ according to gender and class variable, the total score of the Physical Education Lesson Aptitude Scale and the perceived ability dimension score for the physical education lesson and the Needs Supportive in Physical Education lesson of the students in the school sports teams. Teaching Style Scale Engagement dimension was statistically significantly higher than those who did not take part in school teams (p<0.05). The results show that the self-confident students who feel good in a physical education class and the students who participate in the school teams increase the perceived support from the teachers. In the light of these results, it can be said that physical education teachers should be more inclusive in education. Activities that will make all students active and provide effective development should be included in the lesson.

Authors: ÜSTÜN Hamza
Published: March 2022

In Turkey, music lessons start from the pre-school period and continue until the twelfth grade. While music teachers conduct the lesson in secondary and high school periods, this lesson is carried out by classroom teachers in primary school. Classroom teachers apply the knowledge they have learned within the scope of the music education course they have taken in the faculties they study at in primary schools. It is of great importance for primary school teachers to be able to teach the departments related to teaching Turkish music in primary schools, which has a wide range of music education. In this research, it is aimed to examine the fields of Turkish music teaching in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade music textbooks prepared to be taught in primary schools within the music lesson curriculum published in 2018. In this context, four books written separately for each level in 2019 formed the study group of the research. In the research, the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data were analyzed with the document analysis method. During the data collection process, the sub-fields of Turkish music departments in the textbooks for all levels were determined as Turkish folk music, Turkish classical music, mehter music and religious music. According to the findings obtained as a result of the research, it has been determined that Turkish folk music is mostly included among the fields related to Turkish music teaching in the textbooks, and the examples given are associated with the listening-speaking learning field. It has been concluded that there are various activities promoting Turkish music instruments at all levels, important composers of Turkish music are included, and folk dances are used in teaching our traditional music. Suggestions for improvement were made regarding the Turkish music teaching sections in the books. It has been concluded that a spiral teaching strategy has been developed in terms of teaching Turkish music in the textbooks and in this case it will be beneficial for the continuity of the teaching. It is thought that the study will be beneficial for classroom teachers who are conducting music lessons in primary schools.
A PICTORIAL TRANSLATION INTERPRETATION: THE OIL PAINTINGS OF MUKREMIN MUNGAN
Authors: ÖZCAN Onur
Published: March 2022

Artworks begin to communicate with society from the moment they are created and released to the market. In this communication, works of art often acquire a similar or sometimes different meaning according to the interpretation of the person or persons. In the same way, the paintings communicate with everyone who is interested in them since they come out of the brushes of their painters. The artistic, emotional and aesthetic features of the paintings are pictorially located on a canvas. As an intermediary message in achieving these features, there is the name of the painting, which is written in a short and concise way, under or on the back of the painting, next to the signature of the artist or on the promotional label in an exhibition.   These names are sometimes translated into other languages for exhibitions or print editions. Here, it is important to transfer both a pictorial and written expression to another language. In order to examine this situation, which constitutes the starting point of this study, the book of Mükremin Mungan, which is written in Turkish-French-English and contains many works, was chosen. It is aimed to make a pictorial translation interpretation of the Turkish names of the oil painting works in the book into French and English. Thus, it is also intended to present a different perspective on the translation process of painters or translators that oscillates between painting and writing.
REFLECTIONS OF POMEGRANATE MYTHOLOGY ON FASHION DESIGN

Published: March 2022

Fruits are not only useful and delicious food sources, but also an indispensable part of socio-cultural life (Çağlıtütüncügil, 2013: 78). Since the fruits on the tree are closest to the sky (that is, to God), they are under the privilege of lords, princes and nobles. Foods grown underground, such as potatoes, which are at the bottom of the hierarchy, are considered foods suitable for the substrate. In mythology, belief traditions, holy books, and mysticism, fruits represent saying something (Naksali, 2006, XII). Thus, various beliefs about fruits were born, fruits became symbols, and the language of fruits was formed. The development of humanity has, in many respects, been tied to fruition. The pomegranate fruit has come to the fore with its iconographic meanings rather than fruit. The pomegranate has enriched its location not only with its beauty of form, but also with its symbolic values, which have historical depth and intensity of meaning, reaching legends. Historical values and motifs play an important role in carrying culture forward. The pomegranate motif has positive meanings such as fertility, abundance, love, continuity of marriage, beauty and children in all civilizations. Expressing the value of such an important motif, expanding its usage area, keeping it alive and spreading it are among the aims. The fact that the motif has not been dealt with in terms of fashion design before has been effective in the selection of the subject. In this study, the literature on the subject was searched and the meanings attributed to the pomegranate fruit in Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Vietnamese and Japanese civilizations were examined. Inspired by the image, history and mythological meanings of the pomegranate, it has also been tried to be reflected in the fashion industry. In this context, a storyboard and six clothing designs were made. The drawings were created with the procreate program. In this study, which was carried out with the logic of collection, pomegranate motifs were stylized, clothing design suggestions were presented and the clothes were made ready for production. It is thought that this study will contribute to the employees related to the subject, especially fashion designers.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SMEs AND THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC OVER SMEs STATISTICS
Authors: SARI Sultan
Published: March 2022

It is described as “SME” economic units or enterprises that employed less than 250 people and net revenue or balance sheet less than 220 billion TL. In this study, it is considered SMEs’ importance in Turkish economy with the data annually between 2009 and 2021 by tables and graphs and by comparing larger companies’ data and mentioned the effects of Covid-19 Pandemic to SME statistics. According to the data of 2020, there are 3.295.995 SMEs in Turkey and it means that 99.76 % of all firms operate in Turkey is SME. In 2009, SMEs produced the 44.67 % of all production with 76 % of all workers in Turkey; in 2020, they produced the 42.75 % of all production with 72 % employment. Despite of that, SME Loan is 23 % of all cash credits. This credit rate increased only to 23, 73 % in 2020 by some credit support under government supports because of Covid-19 Pandemic. While SMEs created 44 % of all added-value in 2019, this rate decreased to 41 % in 2020 because of Covid-19 Pandemic. In the same way, it is seen that the added value per employee decreased from 23 % to 21 %. Shortly, even though SMEs are influenced negatively from the Covid-19 Pandemic, they are still engine of production and so economy of Turkey as before.
MIRROR AS A VARIABLE FORM PROPOSAL IN CONTEMPORARY ART
Authors: GÜRAY Emel
Published: March 2022

Form discussions, which is one of the main reasons for the great breaks and new beginnings in art, freed the artists by moving art to an experimental field and became effective in the context of the point that today's art has reached. Although the idea of ready-made object was perceived as a kind of mediocrity and loss of aura in art in the early days, this situation, which was shaped under an aesthetic point of view, is no longer in a disadvantageous position as before. Accordingly, the pictorial descriptions of all forms of daily life, as well as the direct or associated use, started with Modernism and continued until today. While the mirror, which is one of these forms, is an image that is frequently used in oil painting descriptions, it has evolved to a conceptual level over time. It has attracted the attention of today's artists because it corresponds to reflection, reflection, showing, hiding, transforming, duplicating and many more. In this context, the methods of using the mirror as an artistic form and how it is positioned as a work of art will be discussed, and within the scope of this article, the works of contemporary artists who have mirror-oriented works will be included. As a research method, besides printed sources, images of artists and works of art will be examined and transferred via internet-based data.

LCX Artery Agenesis in a Middle-Aged Male Patient with Chest Discomfort
Authors: Gharagozloo Farid
Published: March 2022

Congenital absence of the left circumflex artery is a very rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. Few cases have been reported in the literature. It is often an incidental finding following the request for cardiac imaging investigations due to the presence of chest pain of uncertain nature associated with a doubtful or positive stress test for suspected inducible ischemia. Consequently, computed tomography coronary angiography is the ideal diagnostic tool that is often used nowadays to confirm this suspicion and thus reliably diagnose this unique morphology. In this report the author describes the clinical case of a middle-aged patient with chest discomfort during effort followed by a positive cycle-ergometer Ex_ECG stress test for inducible myocardial ischemia.

Published: March 2022

Araştırmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemi döneminde çocukların oyuna ve fiziksel aktiviteye karşı eğilimlerinin, pandemi öncesi dönem ile farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının incelenmesidir. Araştırma grubu okul öncesi eğitim çağında 36-72 aylık 157 çocuktan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ve Çocuklar İçin Oynama Eğilimi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Formlar araştırmaya katılan çocukların ebeveynleri tarafından doldurulmuştur. Verilerin analizinde Kruskal Wallis-H ve Paired Sample T Test testleri kullanıldı. Araştırma bulgularına göre ön ve son testlerde katılımcıların fiziksel kendiliğindenlik, sosyal kendiliğindenlik, zevkin dışa vurumu alt boyutlarında ve ölçek genel ortalamaları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar saptanırken bilişsel kendiliğindenlik ve mizah anlayışında farklılıklar saptanmamıştır. Alt boyut olarak erkeklerde sosyal kendiliğindenlik ve zevkin dışa vurumu alt boyutlarında, kızlarda ise fiziksel kendiliğindenlik alt boyutunda anlamlı farklılık vardır. Yaş gruplarına göre 36-48 aylık çocuklar zevkin dışa vurumu alt boyutunda, 49-60 aylık çocuklar sosyal kendiliğindenlik alt boyutunda ve 61-72 aylık çocuklar ise sosyal kendiliğindenlik, zevkin dışa vurumu boyutlarında ve ölçek toplam skorlarında farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak COVID-19 sosyal izolasyon döneminde çocukların uzun süre evde kalmaları oyun davranışlarını ve eğilimlerini etkilemiştir. Çocukların dışarıya çıkmadan uzun süre ev ortamda kalmaları oyuna ve fiziksel aktiviteye karşı eğilimlerinde azalmaya neden olmuştur.

OBJECTIVE

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects many children. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may improve seizure control; however, its role in children with genetic etiologies of epilepsy is not well described. The authors systematically reviewed the literature to examine the effectiveness of VNS in this cohort.

METHODS

In January 2021, the authors performed a systematic review of the PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS/Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases to investigate the impact of VNS on seizure outcomes in children with genetic etiologies of epilepsy. Primary outcomes included seizure freedom rate, ≥ 90% seizure reduction rate, and ≥ 50% seizure reduction rate. Secondary outcomes were seizure severity and quality of life (QOL), including cognitive, functional, and behavioral outcomes. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed.

RESULTS

The authors identified 125 articles, of which 47 with 216 nonduplicate patients were analyzed. Common diagnoses were Dravet syndrome (DS) (92/216 patients [42.6%]) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (63/216 [29.2%]). Seizure freedom was not reported in any patient with DS; the pooled proportion (95% CI) of patients with ≥ 50% seizure reduction was 41% (21%–58%). Secondary cognitive outcomes of VNS were variable in DS patients, but these patients demonstrated benefits in seizure duration and status epilepticus. In TSC patients, the pooled (95% CI) seizure freedom rate was 40% (12%–71%), ≥ 90% seizure reduction rate was 31% (8%–56%), and ≥ 50% reduction rate was 68% (48%–91%). Regarding the secondary outcomes of VNS in TSC patients, several studies reported decreased seizure severity and improved QOL outcomes. There was limited evidence regarding the use of VNS to treat patients with other genetic etiologies of epilepsy, such as mitochondrial disease, Rett syndrome, Doose syndrome, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, Aicardi syndrome, Angelman syndrome, ring chromosome 20 syndrome, and lissencephaly; variable responses were reported in a limited number of cases.

CONCLUSIONS

The authors conducted a systematic review of VNS outcomes in children with genetic etiologies of DRE. Among the most studied conditions, patients with TSC had substantial seizure reduction and improvements in QOL, whereas those with DS had less robust seizure reduction. Increased testing, diagnosis, and long-term follow-up studies are necessary to better characterize VNS response in these children.
Adaptation of stochastic model of economic cycles to empiric data
Authors: Karmalita Viacheslav
Published: March 2022

This paper deals with adaptation of the stochastic model of the economic cycle, represented by the values of the gross product. Establishing the statistical equivalence of the Yule series to discrete samples of income oscillations made it possible to determine analytical expressions between the coefficients of the Yule model and the parameters of economic cycle. This, the adaptation of the cycle model to empirical data is reduced  to the linear problem of estimating the Yule model factors. The peculiarity of solution to this problem ensures the presence of an optimal discretization of the income function in the form of four samples for the cycle period. It is shown that with such discretization, the highest accuracy of calculated parameter estimates is ensured, that is, the efficiency of the estimates is obtained.
The proposed procedure for adapting the cycle models considers the features of the economic data and provides: 1) recovery of the income function from values of the gross product estimates; 2) extraction of values of a cycle under interest from the recovered data; 3) determination of the time interval of cycle pseudo-stationarity; 4) parameter estimation of the cycle model; 5) accuracy analysis of parameter estimates. The procedure is formally (mathematically) described from the empirical  values of the gross product to getting estimates of cycle parameters. It is applicable for econometric problems of estimating the parameters of systems described by ordinary differential and difference equations of the second order.

International integration associations and agreements play an important role both in the development and in the stabilization of economic relations in various regions of the world. The article examines the historical formation of the Agreement of the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), analyzes the problems of this Agreement, which led to its revision and the creation of a new agreement. The author also analyzes the provisions of the new agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico (USMCA) and compares it with the old Agreement, and also offers a vision of the prospects for the development of economic relations in the region after the entry into force of the USMCA.
Law, law enforcement and legal hermeneutics
Authors: Kornev Viktor N.
Published: March 2022

Law finds its expression and existence in language. The relationship between law and language determines its interpretative nature. In the process of applying normative legal acts, they always need to be interpreted by the law enforcement officer in order to clarify the meaning and will expressed in them, intentionally aimed at establishing certain behavior and regulating the significant social relations. The problem of understanding normative legal acts, achieved in the process of their interpretation is one of the most important tasks of subjects authorized to apply the law. The article deals with the problems of interpretation, understanding and application of law as a single process, using examples from judicial practice. The essence and content of the main directions in hermeneutics as a theory of interpretative practice and philosophy of understanding, its main canons are studied. In this regard, the subject of analysis is the works of G. Gadamer, E. Betti, L. Wittgenstein, M. Heidegger, A. Kaufman, A. Aarnio, P. Riker on the philosophy and theory of language and legal hermeneutics. The article defines the categories "understanding", "pre-understanding" ("predestination») and in this context, the significance of the explanations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for the law enforcement and interpretative practice of courts. Examples from judicial practice show cases of cancellation of court decisions due to incorrect interpretation of laws, as well as when law-making is actually carried out under the guise of interpretation.
Binary singularity of the causes of individual criminal behavior
Authors: Alikperov Khanlar J.
Published: March 2022

The article examines the causes of crime, analyzes the existing views on this problem. Various human vices and their influence on the formation of criminal motivation are investigated on the basis of modern achievements in the field of physiology, biology, genetics. A hypothesis has been put forward, according to which crime is not generated by social contradictions. According to the author, the causes of crime are not because of this world, they nest within the person himself in the form of a need, and the crime he commits is nothing more than a genetically determined objectified behavioral act of a destructive-volitional nature, based in the genotype of homo sapiens in alert a state that is activated by coupling with certain external factors of natural, technogenic or social properties, taking advantage of which, he satisfies his need, which has not previously been possible to realize in a legal way. On the basis of this hypothesis, the doctrine “Binary basis of the causes of crime” was developed, which is fundamentally different from both anthropological and biosocial, and sociological, chromosomal and other existing theories of the causes of crime
Legitimation of University in Modern Culture
Authors: Vasilyeva M. A. , Bezzubova O. V.
Published: March 2022

The authors propose to consider university as a significant cultural topos. The significance of the topos is provided by the narrative integrated in it. It reflects the values and inscribes the university into the current cultural situation. The authors give several historical examples to support their thesis that this narrative is a response to external cultural challenges. The current situation is rife with such challenges, and therefore, the creation of a legitimizing narrative for the university turns out to be quite problematic. The authors study the influence of such factors as massification of education, media communication, social, demographic changes, etc. Examples of modern Russian and foreign universities demonstrate self-legitimization process of the university and show its visual part. The universities represent their own position, history and current values by creating their own visual code. The authors adduce as examples modern universities’ websites with the visual images that are presented on their title pages. Based on this material, the authors draw a conclusion about the main modern strategies of self-legitimation of the university as positioning on the scales: tradition and innovation, loyalty to the government and independence from it, history and community.
