Atmosphere within the Artificial
Authors:   , Ahern George
Published: November 2021

The Olympic Games are celebrated around the world; however, each Games puts pressure on the host city and its infrastructure as well as the people that reside there, which was evident for the latest host country Brazil. This is a global and political topic and my design aims to provide a solution to the unsustainable construction of sporting infrastructure every four years. This thesis will investigate atmosphere through the design of an artificial Olympic island and the resulting architecture resolved within this artificial environment. The proposition that structures this thesis is how to amplify atmosphere within an artificial environment. The proposition of this research was resolved through materiality, light and threshold in order to amplify the atmospheric qualities of the architecture. This was explored through three scales; a design investigation, a domestic scale, and a public scale, using a ‘design as research’ methodology allocated to the research stream. The result of this research came through the development of a boat club for the Olympic Island, showing the rowing and canoe events at the Games. The architecture was resolved through the composition of atmospheric techniques from Zumthor and the formal strategies of Eisenman. The material qualities, juxtaposed with the formal structures generated thresholds through the change in material and lighting qualities. To conclude, it was found that amplifying atmosphere was achieved through a generative process based on the composition of design techniques.
About Some Risks Associated with Subjective Factors, and the Methodology for their Assessment
Authors: Kozlov A. , Noga N.
Published: November 2021

The authors propose a methodology for assessing the risk associated with subjective factors that may affect the achievement of the final goals of business projects, including ensuring information security. Such factors may include the level of salary, the level of professionalism, and others. At the same time, we propose carrying out the risk assessment by using the fuzzy logic method, which allows us to determine the dependence of the risk on various parameters under conditions of their uncertainty. According to the authors, the proposed methodology will help avoid some incorrect management decisions in the formation of author (working) teams, which could lead to negative consequences in the further implementation of the business project. These negative consequences can be expressed in delaying the implementation period, increasing the project’s cost, or even losing business due to critical information and personnel leakage. Also, this method allows you to increase the effectiveness of personnel policy in the organisation or the company. We noted that this method is applicable not only for individual enterprises but also for corporations and associations with complex network structures.
Language Learners’ Willingness to Communicate and Speaking Anxiety in Online versus Face-to-Face Learning Contexts
Authors: Alqarni Nada
Published: November 2021

Foreign language instruction has moved from face-to-face to online learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to explore the extent to which Foreign Language Classroom Enjoyment (FLCE), Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety (FLSA) and demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, and course grades) are linked to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ Willingness to Communicate (WTC) in English under two conditions: online learning and conventional (face-to-face) learning. The study sample consisted of 106 Saudi undergraduate EFL learners. The research instrument was an online questionnaire. The data were analysed quantitatively through t-tests, Pearson correlational tests, and a hierarchical regression analysis. The research findings indicated that: (1) higher levels of WTC were found in the online learning context than in the face-to-face context; (2) FLCE was a positive predictor, while FLSA was a negative predictor, of WTC in the online and face-to-face learning contexts; (3) a high course grade seemed to be a positive predictor of EFL learners’ WTC only in the online learning context. These findings imply that utilizing online-based learning, particularly in the context of developing speaking skills, may foster EFL learners’ communication in the foreign language. Therefore, it is recommended that language teachers should support their students in practicing L2 communication during online classes in a more supportive atmosphere.

Cuando una mujer se embaraza incurre en una probabilidad variable de sufrir un evento adverso durante el proceso reproductivo, esto se conoce como «Riesgo Reproductivo». Cada año quedan embarazadas en el mundo, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), cerca de 210 millones de mujeres, alrededor de 30 millones (14,3%) sufre complicaciones potencialmente mortales que ameritan la asistencia de personal sanitario especializado, por lo general, de una intervención obstétrica calificada. Más de medio millón de mujeres (1,7%) fallecen cada año como consecuencia de las complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo, el 99% de ellas en los países en desarrollo. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio (ODM) adoptados por las Naciones Unidas (ONU) en 2000 brindan la oportunidad de emprender una acción concertada para mejorar la salud materna en el mundo. El Objetivo 5, Mejorar la salud materna y reducir los riesgos del embarazo, sitúan la salud en el corazón del desarrollo humano y establecen un novedoso pacto mundial que vincula a los países desarrollados y los países en desarrollo por medio de obligaciones claras y recíprocas. La idea fundamental de la iniciativa de la OMS es aumentar la proporción de embarazos y partos asistidos por personal sanitario cualificado. En este contexto, debemos resaltar que la mortalidad materna y perinatal puede reducirse mediante intervenciones de salud materna de calidad, basada en la evidencia confiable y factible, incluso en entornos de países de bajos ingresos. El libro Enfermedades que complican el embarazo, diagnóstico y tratamiento, recopila los hallazgos y las nuevas y mejores evidencias disponibles de importantes estudios, todos de gran actualidad y reconocida solidez académica, sobre diversas patologías que afectan la salud de la mujer gestante y ponen en riesgo el término de su embarazo.

Authors:   Mihail Lakatnik primary school, Burgas, Terzieva- Sarieva Svetla
Published: November 2021

Text-based learning in primary school is an important factor in developing the functional literacy of primary school students. Functional literacy is expressed in mastering the main activities in the learning process – reading and writing, through which the learner feels ready to solve various learning and life tasks. The change of the educational environment in classroom through the application of various electronic educational resources in the lessons of Bulgarian language and literature leads to the formation of new skills in young students to work with a text. Text-based learning in primary school is fundamental for mastering the skills to perceive, comprehend, interpret and create their own texts that respond to the communication situation and contribute to the development of communicative and socio-cultural competence of students 1st – 4th grade. In the process of working with the text, the learners acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes related to the text and its structural and semantic components. They master different approaches to learning aimed at the successful realization of the individual in the group and in society. This paper offers a brief theoretical overview of the concepts of text and functional literacy, their interrelationship and interdependence. The article discusses issues related to digitization of the learning process in Bulgarian language and literature at an early stage. Presented are opportunities for working with text in e-learning environment helping to develop reading and writing literacy of students by analyzing the results and comparing with the requirements of state educational standards in Bulgarian language and literature.

The spread of the Covid-19 outbreak is a serious problem that threatens the health and must be addressed immediately. People are required to comply with health protocols, one of which is by wearing a mask. The use of masks is an effort to minimize the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. The high demand for masks, especially medical masks, causes scarcity and high prices in the market. As an alternative, a cloth mask is needed that can be used daily for activities for the community during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this community service activity is to socialize the proper and correct use of cloth masks. This service activity also aims to provide training to housewives to make masks independently from cloth that can be used in daily activities. Besides functioning as a prevention for the Covid-19 virus, cloth masks can also be sold as an effort for housewives during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods of activity and implementation are carried out through outreach, training, and mentoring approaches.

Background. Menopause is an independent predictor of the development of metabolic syndrome, in the pathogenesis of which insulin resistance plays a leading role. Early menopause occurs in 5 % of women and, according to several studies, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is one of the leading causes of death. The features of the course of metabolic syndrome in women with early menopause have not been sufficiently studied.

The aim: to establish the prevalence of early menopause and its metabolic complications in the female population of Eastern Siberia.

Materials and methods. The study population included 2695  women aged 18 to 80 years, who underwent the annual medical examination. The period of the study was March 2016 – December 2019. Among the surveyed women of 41–45  years old, a group of patients with early menopause (n = 18) and controls (n = 25) were identified. The diagnosis was made according to the STRAW criteria. The study used clinical, instrumental and laboratory research methods, including the assessment of hormonal and biochemical parameters, as well as the assessment of questionnaire data and statistical analysis.

Results. The examined women with early menopause have an increase in BMI, waist volume, arterial hypertension, and an increase in the level of triglycerides and gonadotropic hormones. These changes potentially underlie the relationship between menopause and cardio-metabolic disease.

Conclusion. These findings indicate the need to monitor the hormonal and metabolic parameters in this category of women to ensure timely prevention and correction of long-term complications associated with early menopause.

Background. Currently, obesity has become one of the most important medical and social problems in the world due to its high prevalence. Numerous literature data indicate that high BMI is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

The aim: to study the relationship between overweight and generalized obesity with the development of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events among residents of the Chui region of the Kyrgyz Republic, taking into account gender and age.

Material and methods. This study was carried out as part of the international crosssectional epidemiological study “Interepid”. The total follow-up period was 7 years. Life status at the end of the follow-up period was monitored in 1096 respondents out of 1341 initial cohorts (response – 82.1 %). The endpoints were cases of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events. The frequency of events was assessed using methods of analysis of survival (Cox proportional hazard regression model, parametric survival models, survival by the Kaplan – Meier method).

Results. A total of 181 cases of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events (16.44 %) were recorded during the follow-up. In persons with normal body weight, the incidence of cardiovascular complications was 10 %. In overweight individuals, the value of this indicator increased and reached 17.99 % (p˂ 0.001), and in individuals with obesity – 24.5 % (p˂ 0.0001). The increase in the frequency of events with the increase in body mass index did not depend on the gender of the respondents but was typical only for people under 60 years of age. For elderly patients, there was no relationship between BMI and the development of cardiovascular complications. In contrast, the relative risk had an insignificant tendency to decrease by 2.6 % for every 1 kg/m2 increase in body mass index (RR – 0.974; 95% CI: 0.924–1.025).

Conclusion. The increase of body mass index above 25 kg/m2 is an independent risk factor for the development of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in the analyzed cohort of the Chui region residents, regardless of gender, but only in persons under 60 years of age.

Background. In presence the epizootiological situation on leptospirosis in the territories adjacent to Lake Baikal is not studied well. The showing up of natural focus, discovering of host animal’s species composition and etiological structure of leptospirosis causative agents are essential to plan any epidemiological response and to organize the specific prophylaxis.

Aim: to analyze contemporary characteristics of leptospirosis natural foci at the territories adjacent to Lake Baikal.

Materials and methods. From 2011 till 2020 the territory of nine Irkutsk Region's administrative districts was investigated. Trapping has been done at four kind of sites (wetland, meadow, forest-shrub, steppificated meadow) and boroughs. 1152 small mammals which belonged to 35 species were collected. Collected samples were studied by complex of methods. Serogroup belonging was detected by micro agglutination and decomposition test, and genomic species – by Microflex LT mass analyzer.

Results. A leptospirosis natural foci in the Irkutsk city boundary was newly founded and there were isolated (from small mammals) four pathogenic cultures of leptospiras belonging to Javanica serogroup. Main hosts of causative agents at the territories adjacent to Lake Baikal were defined (insect-eating mammals: tundra shrew, largetoothed Siberian shrew, even-toothed shrew, shrew-mouse, and rodents: root vole, ground vole, narrow-skulled vole, sewer rat). By micro agglutination were defined pathogenic leptospirosis serogroups (Icterohaemorrhagiae, Grippotyphosa, Javanica, Pomona, Sejroe, Autumnalis, Australis), all over 2.4 ± 0.45 % seropositive. Antibody dilution at survey animals ranged from 1 : 20 to 1 : 640. On the grounds of PCR results the mean value of infected animals in studied sample was 16.4 ± 1.14 %. Positive PCR findings were at 19 from 35 animal species.

Conclusion. At the territories adjacent to Lake Baikal In the Baikal region, the proportion of animals that have had contact with pathogenic leptospira is quite high. Natural focus of this infection are highly pervasive in this region, they are evolved mainly in dewy sites.
Factors Affecting Ion Thruster’s Performance
Authors: Liu Yuzhe , Lin Lidong , Dong Han
Published: November 2021

In this project, we investigated how ion thrusters produce propulsion and how the design of ion thrusters affects the performance of the thruster. In the experiment, we build a high voltage power supply (0- 50 kV) and foil rings to produce ion wind. When considering the design of the thruster, we focus on three variables: the volume of the space, where ions are produced and the electric field intensity. Thus, to investigate the first variable we made foil rings with different radius and change the distance between the ring and positive cathode. To determine the propulsion produced we use a speed sensor to determine the magnitude of the wind produced.

В растениеводстве и кормопроизводстве вику используют обычно в травосмесях со злаковыми культурами. В условиях Центральной зоны Краснодарского края на чернозёме выщелоченном в 2019 г. проведены полевые опыты с применением различных дозировок минеральных удобрений под вико-пшеничные травосмеси. Отмечено, что повышенные дозы вносимых удобрений заметно угнетали прирост зелёной массы. В опытах изучали сорта вики Орлан и Чермонорская (Vicia pannonica Granz), Глинковская и Луговская-2 (Vicia villosa or Roth), а также сорт Таня пшеницы озимой твердой (Triticum aestivum L.). По полученным результатам, наиболее оптимальными по урожайности оказались смеси трав с сортами вик Орлан (110,2 ц/га) и Луговская 2 (85,6 ц/га). В 3-ю декаду мая вико-пшеничные смеси имеют наивысшую продуктивность по зеленой массе и оптимальную питательную ценность. Данный период соответствует массовому цветению вики и началу колошения пшеницы.

Представлены результаты многолетнего интродукционного изучения 4 малораспространенных теневыносливых растений: Valeriana alliariifolia Vahl (валериана чесночницелистная), Uvularia grandiflora Smith (увулярия крупноцветковая), Hepatica nobilis Mill. (печеночница благородная) и Chloranthus japonicus Siebold (хлорант японскийви), не используемых в фитодизайне в регионе Южного Урала и России в целом. Изучены особенности прохождения фенологических фаз развития, некоторые биоморфологические параметры и оценена успешность интродукции. Выявлено, что растения проходят все стадии жизненного развития, включая образование плодов, за исключением U. grandiflora. По продолжительности цветения 3 вида относятся к среднедлительноцветущим видам, а Ch. japonicus — к группе короткоцветущих растений. Показатели большинства морфометрических параметров изученных видов обладают нормальной степенью варьирования (от 0,0 до 20,3 %). Изученные виды обладают высокой устойчивостью к местным климатическим условиям, регулярно и массово цветут, хорошо разрастаются и образуют большие куртины, легко размножаются вегетативно делением корневищ. Кроме того, H. nobilis ежегодно образует обильный самосев. Все изученные виды теневыносливых растений являются перспективными для культуры и вегетативного размножения. Благодаря высокой декоративности и несложности выращивания их можно рекомендовать к широкому использованию для теневых садов парков, скверов.
Генетическое разнообразие в трех группах форелевых рыб, выявляемое методом ПЦР и мультилокусным ДНК-зондом

Форелеводство играет значительную роль в аквакультуре многих стран мира, так как данная рыба хорошо приспособлена к разведению в установках замкнутого  водоснабжения, быстро воспроизводится и дает продукцию высокого качества. Вывод на рынок новых и перспективных пород форелей требует использования молекулярно-генетических методов для всесторонней характеристики разводимых популяций. В числе методов генетического анализа используются полимеразная цепная реакция (ПЦР) и мультилокусный анализ генома с мечеными ДНК-зондами. Цель работы заключалась в выявлении особенностей генетической организации трех групп форели – онежский, каспийский и балтийский лососи одновременно методом ПЦР со случайными праймерами и мультилокусным анализом. Полученные популяционные характеристики обсуждены с точки зрения использования данных в практической селекционной работе. Особенно большое значение имеет показатель средней гетерозиготности в группах, характеризующий генетическое разнообразие особей. По критерию генетического расстояния наиболее близкими, как и ожидалось, оказались онежский и балтийский лососи, что было установлено обоими методами. Внутрипопуляционное разнообразие по данным ПЦР было заметно выше в группе особей онежского лосося (H = 0,15). Мультилокусный анализ выявил несколько маркерных фрагментов ДНК, характерных для данной группы рыб и редко встречающихся у представителей других групп. Эти данные полезны для генетической паспортизации пород и популяций рыб. Были обнаружены также мономорфные фрагменты, которые имеются у всех особей и во всех группах (фрагменты № 53, 67 и 70).

The study discusses the impact of urbanization on the pollutant emissions into the atmosphere in Russian regions in 2001– 2018 based on the data from the Federal State Statistics Service. The regions are divided into two groups by export activity, to determine the impact of urbanization on air pollution taking into account regional specialization. The study also tests the hypothesis that the costs of innovation play a role in the process of urbanization. Methodologically, the study relies on econometric methods based on the panel data. The results show that a rise in the level of urbanization, calculated as a proportion of the urban population, increases the level of pollutant emissions, regardless of which group the region falls into. The increased costs of technological innovations, on the contrary, lead to a reduction in the volume of emissions, which means that it is necessary to stimulate companies to invest more in equipment modernization. The results of the research can be useful for regional policy-makers.
Is There a Link Between Complementary Economic Institutions and Ideologies?

Since the publication of Max Weber’s “Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism” in 1904, the author’s idea about the positive relationship between Protestantism and capitalism has taken root in social sciences. Even though since then, multiple authors have questioned Weber’s idea, it still remains popular. Douglass C. North’s theory of institutions is interesting in this respect. He pointed to the intentionality behind the emergence of institutions. For North, institutions are an attempt to reduce the uncertainty by providing a structure to our everyday life, including interactions. The forms of these interactions depend not only on the climatic, demographic, technological and other factors, but also on people’s ethical attitudes. In our study, we proceed from the assumption that there is a relationship between institutions and ideologies in the broad sense of the term, on the one hand, and, on the other, from the concept of complementary institutions. The latter implies the presence in the institutional environ- ment of two or more complementary institutions. Complementary institutions determine the structure of contractual relations between agents pursuing simple tasks, which means that there are various systems of stimuli and principles of how these agents should deliver on their obligations. In this respect the question arises as to how such institutional complementarity fit into the ideologies prevailing in this or that society? Is it possible for complementary institutions to coexist? In this study we focus on two cases from Chinese history to show that institutional complementarity is possible only if the adherents to the dominant ideology are ready to accept the possibility of flexible interpretations of such ideology and of the existence of complementary ideologies. The first example is the popularity of Taoism as a complementary ideology of Confucianism among the merchants in Qing China. Since Confucianism could not create the necessary ethical incentives for those people who were engaged in trade, Taoism filled the ethical void with its magical practices. The second case relates to the era of the Han Dynasty and the dispute about the limits of the state’s influence on the economy between the representatives of different philosophical schools. In both examples, complementary ideology creates necessary incentives for building complementary institutions.

The relevance of this study is determined by the key priority of socio-economic development in Russia — stimulation of nonresource non-energy exports. There is a vast body of research on the influence of exports on the economic growth of countries and their regions. In this study, we provide an overview of the theoretical and empirical approaches to this problem and build their typology. The approaches were compared by looking at the way they interpret the following contradiction: exports form a part of GDP and at the same time influence the type and way of production in the country, which can have a negative impact on GDP. We divided the selected approaches into groups depending on the way they evaluate the effects of exports: as unconditionally positive; as positive when combined with other factors; as neutral, or negative. We also described the mechanisms of exports’ influence, including ‘micro-factors’ and additional factors necessary for a positive effect or to justify its absence. Each of the approaches takes into account a certain factor (or component) of the macro-economic conditions or a certain characteristic of exports as a factor of economic growth. The existing approaches complement each other. The differences between them stem from the macro-economic context and characteristics of national exports. Our findings can be used to design the research methodology of further studies and they can also be of interest to government agencies designing export strategies and monitoring the effects of exports development.
Narrative Economics and Qualitative Studies of the Russian Innovation System

Published: November 2021

Narrative economics holds a vast potential since it can expand the array of questions and data covered by the analysis of economic change. The ideas that narratives contain reflect the actors’ perceptions of the rules structuring recurring interactions. Therefore, analysis of popular narratives can provide valuable insights into the relevant rules and behaviour patterns in their relation to the social context. In this study, we identified the most significant sources containing narratives and selected the most relevant narratives with biographical elements. The biographical method implies that narratives about events and phenomena are examined by looking at the actors’ biographical stories. Our research aims to test the applicability of the biographical method within the narrative economics approach to study the Russian innovation system. The analysis has revealed the most widely spread ideas associated with rules and institutions, such as researchers’ dependence on the funds that the government or companies are willing to invest in their studies. Another problem is the production of the next generation of academic workforce in Russia. We systematized the problem situations linked to the spreading of narratives and found that they are related to the setbacks in the state management of the Russian innovation system. We conducted a qualitative study of narratives combined with quantitative content analysis. The changing frequency of the key words and phrases reflects the dynamics of narratives and shows their ‘viral’ quality. Further analysis and systematization of qualitative data on innovation systems will create a better understanding of complex non-ergodic processes. It would also be productive to analyze official documents on the current rules and institutional development and compare the results with the evidence obtained through the narrative approach.
