Published: October 2021

This review is devoted to a rare in clinical practice, but promising phenomenon of regression distant non-irradiated metastases in combination therapy of cancer patients. R. H. Mole in 1953 suggested introducing the term “abscopal effect” to denote the effect of ionizing radiation “at a distance from the irradiated volume but within the same organism.” Currently, it is a hypothesis in the treatment of metastatic cancer, when there is a regression of untreated areas simultaneously with a decrease in the tumor. After the discovery of immune checkpoint cases were increase with patients treated with check-point blockade (especially lymphocyte associated protein 4, programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1) and which have an abscopal effect. This review systematizes works covering the time period from 1969 to 2019, which give cases of the abscopal effect at different localizations. However, abscopal effect is a poorly understood phenomenon. In this review, the authors tried to collect all information about the possible mechanisms of the abscopal effect, possible role in antitumor response and frequency abscopal effect at radio/immunotherapy or combined both.

Published: October 2021

Background: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age (toddlers) due to chronic malnutrition and infection. Stunting has an impact on the level of intelligence, susceptibility to disease, reduces productivity, increases poverty and inequality. This condition is closely related to the culture of the community. Therefore, a cultural communication strategy is needed as an intervention to change maternal behavior and prevent stunting. Objective: This study aims to analyze articles related to cultural communication strategies in efforts to prevent stunting in children. Method: The design used is the literature review, articles are collected using search engines such as ProQuest, BMC Public Health, Google Scholar and Plos One. Criteria article used was published in 2011-2020. Results: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five years of age as a result of chronic malnutrition so that the child is too short for his age. Malnutrition occurs since the baby is in the womb and in the early days after the baby is born. The factors that cause stunting in children are family factors and family environment, inadequate food, breastfeeding and infection. These factors are closely related to the local culture. Therefore, cultural communication strategies are considered effective in changing mother's behavior and preventing stunting in children. Conclusion: Cultural communication can influence behavior change in mothers to prevent stunting in children

Background:Lipid accumulation product (LAP) is one of the indices that can demonstrate cardiovascularrisk factors according to international studies. Aim: To evaluate relationship between LAP, visceral obesity and different cardio vascular risk factors among sample of obese Egyptian Women. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study included 350 obese Egyptian women; aged 25- 55 years. They were subjected to blood pressure and anthropometric assessment (weight, height and waist circumference), abdominal ultrasound (visceral fat) and laboratory tests (fasting blood sugar and lipid profile).Results: The majority of the participated women had wide WC (88.9%) and increased visceral fat (80.6%). Hyperglycemia was present among (47.4%), hypertension among 42.6%, high triglycerides among 26.6% and low HDL among 44.3%. The odds of obtaining LAP >80.74 cm.mmol/L (4th quartile) is 2.7 times higher in individuals with hypertension(BP > 130/85),and 6.79 times higher in individuals with visceral fat ≥ 5 cm. Depending on the visceral fat as a standard for classification of visceral obesity (>5 cm for women), revealed that the AUCs of LAP was 0.752 (95% CI 0.697–0.806) in women. The cutoff point of LAP;for prediction of visceral obesity among Egyptian women, was 61.69; using ROC analysis; with sensitivity 68% and specificity 75% and PPV/NPV 1.05 and accuracy 71.5% .Conclusion: LAP index had significant correlations with visceral obesity and hypertension. The cutoff point of LAP 61.69 can be used to predict visceral obesity among Egyptian women.

Authors: Peechapol Chattavut
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of virtual laboratory simulation in chemistry on learning achievement, self-efficacy, and learning experience for first-year undergraduate students. This research was quasi-experiment with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The research used a purposive sampling of 95 first-year undergraduate students who enrolled in general chemistry subject. The participants were classified into two groups that consisted of the control group and the experimental group. Each group comprised members with low and high knowledge levels from the pre-test score. The control and experiment groups were required to learn chemistry topics in a traditional lecture for 3 hours. For the experimental group, students attended learning with the virtual lab simulation in chemistry for 1.5 hours. The results demonstrated that virtual lab simulation in chemistry had a positive effect on learning achievement, self-efficacy, and learning experience. The students who participated in the traditional lecture followed by virtual lab simulation had significantly higher knowledge and self-efficacy scores than learning through only a traditional lecture. Moreover, the effect of virtual lab simulation differed depending on levels of the students’ initial knowledge and self-efficacy at pre-test, the group of low knowledge and self-efficacy levels gained a positive impact that was higher than the high-level group. The results of the learning experience found that virtual lab simulation encouraged students’ motivation in learning and understanding the concept of chemistry via interactive 3D simulation. The results of this study indicated that virtual lab simulation could be an effective tool in supporting learning achievement and self-efficacy for learning chemistry. It was effective when a traditional lecture in chemistry was supplemented by virtual lab simulation-based learning.

Authors: Zhao Hongli
Published: October 2021

Talents are the prerequisite for the prosperity and development of an industry. The training of advanced higher tourism talents is essential to tourism development. However, the training models of advanced tourism talents in China are highly homogenous. The competitiveness of the talents thus cultivated cannot satisfy the demand of tourism development. Therefore, it is imperative to diversify the education of advanced tourism talents. Targeting at the graduates and students from the tourism major of colleges, this paper evaluated the training status of advanced tourism talents through questionnaire survey and interview, and pointed out various problems with the current training models: the training objectives are homogenous; the curriculum is too extensive; the faculty resources are insufficient; the teaching methods are backward and too theoretical; the students lack correct positioning, hard-working spirit, professionalism, and work abilities. Based on the survey results, diversified education strategies were proposed for advanced tourism talents from three dimensions: training objectives, training process, and training outputs. Then, a talent training model that integrates industry and teaching was created, highlighting the importance of work abilities. Besides, the authors presented the design concept of diversified curriculum, and provided a diversified practice teaching system. Taking the Thai language international tour guide major of a school for example, the diversification of training objectives, process, and outputs was discussed in detail. The research results provide a good reference for improving the training effect and teaching reform of advanced tourism talents.

Transforming Methods for Research With Indigenous Communities
Authors: Thobane Mahlogonolo S. , Jansen van Rensburg Shandre Kim
Published: October 2021

Increasingly, indigenous communities are seeking ethical and meaningful research to be done in their communities, using transformed research methodologies. Consequently, researchers and practitioners need to be well equipped with integrative, systematic, and practical guidelines on how they can use transformative research, specifically Afrocentric or indigenous research paradigms, in the African milieu. This chapter defines how social scientists can make use of a transformative research methodology to conduct research with indigenous communities. The findings reveal that there is a need for Afrocentric or indigenous research paradigms in the social sciences. This paradigm introduces research processes that are both indigenous and transformative in nature. Additionally, the findings indicate how traditional research approaches can be transformed in practical ways unique to the African context. Furthermore, the chapter provides remedies for issues and controversies arising from using Western or conventional research processes in indigenous communities.

Understanding a Social Media-Enabled Knowledge Management Adoption Model for Small and Medium Enterprises in South Africa
Authors: Mamorobela Stevens Phaphadi
Published: October 2021

This chapter shares the practical application of the explanatory sequential mixed methods research design in a study to investigate a model for adoption of social media enabled knowledge management for the small and medium enterprises in South Africa. Research that solely applies either the quantitative or qualitative approach presents some weaknesses in understanding a phenomenon holistically. The quantitative approach does not adequately provide depth in contextualising issues to bring more understanding of the phenomenon, and qualitative research is poor in providing repeatability and generalizability of findings. The explanatory sequential mixed methods research has capitalized on the weaknesses of the two approaches by combining them to produce more holistic understanding of the phenomenon. This chapter presents the practical application of the explanatory sequential mixed methods research design to investigate a model of social media-enabled knowledge management adoption for the small and medium enterprises in South Africa.
A Mixed Methods Research Study Exploring Customer Satisfaction With the Quality of Service in University Libraries in Sri Lanka
Authors: Jayasundara Chaminda Chiran
Published: October 2021

University library administrators in Sri Lanka, realising the necessity of complying with customer perception of high-quality service, have begun to search for alternative ways to satisfy their clientele on the basis of service quality. This study therefore aims to meet this need by developing a model to assess the extent to which service quality indicators may be used to predict customer satisfaction, from a service quality perspective. The research methods were “mixed methods of research,” which involved a combination of positivist and phenomenological inquiries that led to the use of qualitative and quantitative approaches in line with the purpose of the study, which was exploratory in nature and searched for causality. The model based on the performance-only paradigm and the linearity assumption between the constructs was found to be the best parsimony model that provided for enhanced predictive performance, calibration, and potential insight into attributes and domain relevance.
Relevance of Mixed Methods Research in Developing a Framework for Digitising Records and Archives
Authors: Tsvuura Godfrey
Published: October 2021

This chapter discusses the relevance of mixed methods research in developing a framework for digitising records and archives. Mixed methods research has never been extensively used to find solution to the problems experienced in digitising records and archives. Digitisation, in general, has become a diverse area whose problems cannot be solved with a mono research methodology. The application of both quantitative and qualitative techniques in finding solutions in the digitisation of records and archives would help records and archives professionals to have a deeper understanding of the difficulties associated with digitising records and archives, especially as the field is facing some rebirth due to advancement in technology. Digitisation of records and archives is revolving and gaining momentum due to the shifts of paradigms in techniques of record-keeping.
Delineation of Locations for Water Storage Systems Using Future Precipitation Data – A Case Study of Sri Lanka
Authors: Bandaranayake K. N.
Published: October 2021

Paying less attention to the expected precipitation changes when implementing new water-related projects, does not seem supportive in mitigating water crisis arising from climatic changes. Sri Lanka is a country possessing a large number of water storage systems compared to its extent and population. Besides, the year-round rainfall delivers a considerable water input throughout the year. Yet, the country reports frequent water scarcities as a result of spatial and temporal variations in rainfall patterns. In addition, irregular distribution of water storage systems and accumulation of water withdrawal have been identified as the main reasons for the current water crisis. When observing the predicted changes in the precipitation pattern, this issue is expected to accelerate in the future. In order to tackle the issue, this particular study proposes to consider the future precipitation prediction data in delineating locations for new water storage projects in the country. The preliminary selection of locations was carried out considering the widely used data types. Thresholds and weighted linear combination methods were utilized in prioritizing the related conditions at the primary location selection. Pairwise comparison method was utilized in assigning the weights. These locations were then filtered by the favorable locations based on the present and future precipitation data. The result of the study reveals that the districts of Colombo, Kalutara, Gampaha and Galle located within the wet zone should be prioritized in large scale water storage projects. The study further reveals that the dry zone can self-sustain with the available water storages. It also points out that 96% of the existing tanks in the country will be dried out mainly due to the reduction of water input and over exploitation in the future.

Sex Workers Should Be Included in COVID-19 Vaccination Efforts
Authors: Vaghela Gladson , Hermoso Catherine , Ahmadi Attaullah , Lucero-Prisno Don Eliseo
Published: October 2021

As the COVID-19 pandemic takes its toll on citizens across the globe, more people turn to sex work for survival. Because sex work is inherently physical and intimate, sex workers become defenseless against the virus and act as a bridge for transmitting the virus to their clients and society. Often, sex workers are the victims of violence and homelessness, and are devoid of health-care facilities, including HIV treatment, and are frequently exposed to a large number of individuals as dictated by the nature of their work. Their survival instincts would drive them to take part in their usual job to earn money, despite added health risks, to survive and feed their families. Worldwide, sex workers do not fully benefit from the COVID-19 responses, particularly in health, social, and economic aid assistance and services. Hence, it is essential to include this vulnerable population in the COVID-19 vaccination programs to halt the further spread of the virus.
Co-ordination behaviour of hydrazine and isomers of acetoxy benzoic acids with transition metal ions

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT. New hydrazine complexes of some divalent transition metal ions of formulae,                           [M{(2-ab)2(N2H4)}].3H2O, [M{(3-ab)2(N2H4)}].3H2O and [M{(4-ab)2(N2H4)2}].2H2O where M = Co, Ni, Zn and Cd; 2-abH = 2-acetoxy benzoic acid, 3-abH = 3-acetoxy benzoic acid and 4-abH = 4-acetoxy benzoic acid were prepared using their respective metal nitrates and hydrazine hydrate at pH 6 and 5, respectively, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-reflectance spectroscopic techniques, thermo analytical technique, powder XRD, SEM-EDX and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the transition metal complexes were sparingly soluble in water. The IR spectra of complexes showed N-N absorptions of hydrazine in the range of 964-988 cm-1 substantiating the bidentate bridging coordination of hydrazine. They showed endothermic decomposition in the range of 67-100 °C, exothermic dehydrazination in the range, 210-281 °C and an oxidative decomposition between 350 and 490 °C to form their respective metal oxides. The electronic spectral and magnetic susceptibility data could substantiate the distorted octahedral geometry of nickel and cobalt complexes and the XRD pattern indicates the existence of isomorphism. Crystals of [Cd(H2O)3((C6H4(4-OH)(COO))2].H2O obtained as by-product, was also characterized using single crystal XRD, IR and thermal studies.

Experiencing Generosity: An Autoethnographic Sketch from the Process of Coordinating the Research on Theatrical Life in the Pandemic

The publication is the result of the autoethnographic research covering a year-long process of coordinating the implementation of seven sociological studies on theatrical life in the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 by two theatre pedagogists – a manager and an employee of the Department of Theatre Pedagogy of the Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute. The authors try to answer the following research question: What does the autoethnographic analysis of the experience of people responsible for project management bring to the cultural sector, and how? Thus, they attempt to strengthen the project management discourse with the perspective of those whose work is not visible. As a result of the analyses, they have identified and described two subconscious coordination strategies: playing the speed game and playing the sense game. In order to draw the attention of cultural workers to the influence of private life on professional life and to the value of support received from a co-worker, the authors introduce the details of the experience by describing collaboration in a duet. The answer to the research question is enriched with the reflection that the project coordination methodology adopted by the authors has its source in the values of theatre pedagogy. The text is divided into four parts. The first one is a description of the method of autoethnography. The second one presents the dynamics of actions in a changing reality of pandemic. The third one is focused on cooperation in a duet. Finally, the fourth one presents the authors’ conversation summarising their autoethnographic analyses and showing the influence of the authors’ roots in the theatre pedagogy on the project management.
Wśród obrazów, algorytmów i rozmyślań metodologicznych. Kultura w Paryżu w czasie epidemii

Published: October 2021

Amidst Pictures, Algorithms, and Methodological Reflections. Culture in Paris in Times of the Epidemic

Paris is a city filled with art and home to some of the world’s most famous institutions offering unique cultural events, including exhibitions of priceless works of art and ephemeral performative phenomena such as performances and concerts. Due to the closure of cultural institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation has completely changed. The city is deserted, while cultural institutions are focused on using the Internet to run their affairs and forge/maintain relationships with the audience without the possibility of meeting them face-to-face. Based on the author’s own research conducted in Paris in December 2020, the paper presents the analysis of public space in terms of the presence of traces of culture. For this purpose, a flexible methodological approach was designed, covering both the city space and the Internet, also understood as part of the public domain. Additionally, the author’s own research experience is taken into account, depending on the epidemiological situation and the ability to move around the city. The factors discussed in the paper have provoked a multifaceted reflection – starting from the privileges of researchers, through the sense of online culture, and ending with the future of cultural institutions. The aim of the paper is to document the situation of cultural institutions in Paris during the pandemic, with an emphasis on their presence, visibility, and accessibility in the city and the Internet.

Implementation of Scrum Elements in a Cultural Institution

Since March 2020, managers of cultural institutions have had to dynamically adapt their methodologies for teamwork, project management, and ongoing institutional tasks to the COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines handed down by public authorities. Following the initial downtime in the spring season and the reopening in June 2020, the Pod Atlantami Municipal Library in Wałbrzych took vigorous measures to adapt its cultural project management to the new conditions, drawing on the experience of the broadly understood business sector. These measures included the implementation of certain elements of Scrum as an agile framework for project management. The goal of the paper is to showcase the pilot implementation of Scrum elements in project management in the selected cultural institution. The analysis relied on structured questionnaires and open questions, visualisation meetings, and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis showed the applicability of backlog management, iterative planning, and iterative task execution to projects pursued by cultural institutions, along with potential for winning the employees’ approval. However, a properly executed implementation is necessary, in which regard this paper offers a set of recommendations arising from the analysis.
Kryzys gocki z perspektywy historiografii kościelnej V stulecia
Authors: Bralewski Sławomir
Published: October 2021

The gothic crisis from the perspective of ecclesiastical historiography of the 5th century In the second half of the 4th century, the migration of Goths to the Balkan Peninsula took place, which led to a serious crisis in the Roman Empire. Its consequence was the defeat suffered by the Romans at Adrianople (378), in which emperor Valens died. This battle is considered to be one of the decisive battles in the history of mankind, which has changed the face of the late Roman history to such an extent that one sees it as a caesura marking the end of antiquity. How did the authors of ecclesiastical histories living at that time as those who, after all, devoted a lot of space to political history in their works relate to these events and to the entire Gothic crisis that was the result of the migration of the Goths? Is it possible to see any differences in the presentation of these events by Rufin of Aquileia, Socrates of Constantinople, Sozomen, Philostorgius or Theodoret of Cyrus? The author tries to answer these questions in this article.

Authors: Sylburska Aleksandra
Published: October 2021

The repatriation/re-emigration of Polish people from Hungary after World War II There were many Polish inhabitants in Hungary after the end of the World War II. They were economic emigrants who arrived at the end of the 19th century or refugees who crossed the Polish-Hungarian border in 1939. The goal of Polish representatives in Budapest (diplomats from July 1946) was to organize repatriation/re-emigration which would include both groups. The execution was not easy due to the problems with supplies, lack of money and difficulties to estimate the number of Polish people in Hungary. According to Polish government regime, repatriated people/re-emigrants were to help in rebuilding of the destroyed country, populating it, and developing Recovered Territories, whose status in the first post-war years had not been officially established yet.

Authors: Изотова Наталья Валерьяновна , Табаченко Людмила Владимировна
Published: October 2021

In fiction, utterances in a dialogue are punctuated with punctuation marks, including the marks of the spatial and compositional organization of the text. Marks that are usually used at the end of a sentence can also be found in the middle of an utterance in a dialogue. Punctuation marks used in a highly stylized way are associated with the semantic division of an utterance on the horizontal level of development. An utterance can be represented with one of the end of sentence punctuation marks. The emergence of meaning is formed in the reader’s mind on the vertical level of development.

Знаки конца предложения как знаки эмоций
Authors: Анатольевна Калинина Алевтина
Published: October 2021

The article discusses the emotionally expressive function of punctuation marks placed at the end of a sentence. Marks of the end of a sentence (dot, question and exclamation marks, ellipsis as well as their possible combinations) are involved in the transmission of not only meaning (logical), but also emotional information. In the design of emotionally colored sentences of different functional types, one way or another, all the marks of the end of the sentence are involved, except for the dot. Each sign participating in the expression of emotional meanings is assigned the type of emotional content that is formed with its help.

The data of the Russian National Corpus shows an increase in the frequency of using the connective at the beginning of an independent sentence, after a period. The paper discusses the differences between to est’ in the middle and at the beginning of sentences: the ability to express certain relationships between text fragments, syntactic conditions of the use, the conditions under which the fragment introduced by to est’ cannot be formed as part of the preceding sentence and follow after a comma.
Предикативный атрибут в русском языке. Грамматика, семантика, пунктуация
Authors: Naiditch Larissa
Published: October 2021

The paper deals with the predicative attribute (co-predicative) in Russian, its features, and its interrelations with Russian punctuation rules as well as with intonation. It is shown that the word order, the semantics of the attribute and of the corresponding verb are crucial for grammatical interpretation of attributive constructions. It is in many cases important what kind of feature the adjective designates – a permanent or a temporary one. The relation between the appearance of predicative attribute and the separation by punctuation in the written text and through intonation in the oral one all obey controversial rules revealed in the paper. Thus, grammatical division, punctuation and intonation nuances cannot be in oneto-one relation to each other. Intonation and sense shades as well as connections inside the text cannot be rendered by punctuation rules, even by complicated ones.
Семантика и прагматика парцеллированных конструкций в текстах социальных репортажей
Authors: Малышев Александр Александрович , Низамутдинова Карина Флюровна
Published: October 2021

In modern media speech, the problem of understanding the emotional and expressive semantics in the content side of the media language is acutely topical. Parcelling in media in the stylistic refraction is a publicistic speech “with violation of syntactic integrity and sentence connections, strongly intoned and as if broken into pieces” (G.N. Akimova). The journalistic style, which is the most conducive to the wide use of various means of expression, in the case of parcelled constructions receives an additional “linear intonation structure” (E.V. Paducheva), which overall increases the expressiveness of the reportage genre. Journalistic text differs from the strict classical framework of punctuation and is the most suitable environment for the full implementation of communicative effectiveness. In addition to the two main functions (emotionally emissive and compositional), parcelling performs the following functions: dynamic, pictorial, characterological, informational compression, evaluative, game, subtext, organization of new theme and rheme, logical and cognitive, semantic, explanatory (clarifying), summative, generalizing. In the social reports, there is the use of one dot or dots, question and exclamation marks or emphatic dash for parceling and hyphen for syllabic parcelling. The parcelled dissection of media text is always the result of the author’s conscious processing and has an “associative intermittent effect” on the recipient (S.G. Ilienko), creating a kind of syntactic seam that preserves the coherent unity of the text and allows the journalist to update significant fragments of the material.
