Authors: Riskuwa-Shehu M. L. , Ismail H. Y. , Fardami A. Y. , Ibrahim U. B.
Published: June 2022

Petroleum hydrocarbons are among the major driving forces of advancement in the last Century. Some of the hydrocarbons especially polycyclic aromatics are however of health and environmental significance, due to their recalcitrance and persistence leading to adverse effects on health and ecosystem stability. A number of treatment technologies have been used to cleanup hydrocarbon contaminants and the use of phytoremediation technology have recently been described as promising. In this study, phytoremediation of weathered crude oil contaminated soil was carried out in a microcosm using Pennisetumpurpureum for 60 days. Pristine soil samples were collected and mixed with weathered petroleum contaminated soil to achieve 5%, 25%, 35% and 50% w/w contamination levels. Bacterial species in the rhizosphere were isolated and identified and residual oil was extracted and analyzed using GC-MS. Results showed that there was high bacterial population in rhizosphere (5.0×105 cfu/g to 6.4×105 cfu/g) than non-rhizosphere soil (2.4 ×105 cfu/g to 4.0×105 cfu/g); and Bacillus spp. (64.71%) were observed to be predominant in the rhizosphere followed by Micrococcus spp. (17.65%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.88%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (5.88%) and Flavobacterium sp. (5.88%). Hydrocarbon concentration in the rhizosphere was reduced by 82.5%, 60.5%, 58.0% and 48.8% respectively. Complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds detected in the control using GC-MS were significantly reduced or completely degraded. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as anthracene, naphthalene, fluorene, benzo (a) anthracene, pyrene and chrysene were significantly reduced at a rate ranging between 13.33% and 97.54%. Based on the rate of PAHs reduction observed in this study, it was evident that P. purpureumsupports cleanup of persistent hydrocarbon contaminants in soil environment. The use of this plant in large scale petroleum hydrocarbon cleanup under field conditions should be investigated.

Authors: Georgoulis Athanasios , Zarenti Sofia , Anastasopoulos Menelaos , Doufexi Aikaterini-Elisavet
Published: June 2022

Pyogenic granuloma of the oral cavity is a common, non-neoplastic, vascular tumor. The etiology is not clear and it is suggested to be attributed to different factors. It might be caused by a reaction to a stimulus such as trauma, viruses such as HSV-1, hormonal changes, as well as other factors such as tooth eruption or medication.  Clinically it appears as a painless tumor that tends to bleed easily, with red color and rarely may be accompanied by a periodontal abscess and bone loss. Biopsy is the most common tool used for the diagnosis. Its treatment is usually surgical excision and lately the use of lasers for its excision has emerged. Special care should be given to pregnant women where the treatment varies. The aim of this review is to present the background of oral pyogenic granuloma and the case report presents the situation, histological image and treatment of an adult woman patient.
Learner Identity and Lifelong Learning: A Mixed-Method Study
Authors: Landberg Monique , Porsch Torsten
Published: June 2022

Learning is on the one side happing every day. On the other side, adult participation in (formal and non-formal) learning is low, especially in Germany and for certain subgroups (e.g., with low educational attainment). It is well known that with the acquisition of knowledge over a lifetime many positive findings are associated. Hence, we propose that measuring learner identity might be a helpful construct for predicting and influencing lifelong learning. However, measurement options for learner identity are sparse. Hence, the present paper tries to adapt and validate a scale to measure learner identity. For that, we first adapted the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale questionnaire (Luyckx et al., 2008). Second, internal construct validity and external construct validity were established. For the latter, as in other studies, self-esteem, depressive symptoms (Luyckx et al., 2008) and openness (Crocetti et al., 2008) were used. Curiosity and epistemological beliefs were assessed as well, because according to the division of cognitive labor, we must gain knowledge from different sources to deal with life’s complexity (Bromme, 2005). Third, Marcia’s identity status (1964) was identified using a clustering approach. The mean age of the 124 participants was 21.90 years (SD = 3.23). Most participants were female (80.6%), and the majority were studying for a teaching post at the bachelor’s level (68.5%). Finally, one student per identity status was interviewed (n = 4) using a topic guide based on Marcia’s (1964) identity status interview. In this way, an explanatory mixed-method design was applied (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). Both, the quantitative and the qualitative approach seem fruitful to assess learner identity. Analysis indicated that learner identity is different from epistemological beliefs. Learner identity is highly relevant to how learning situations are approached and how strong the commitment to learning activities and goals is.

Authors: Stravakou Pelagia A. , Lozgka Evangelia C.
Published: June 2022

Mentoring has been a highly discussed issue in the education literature lately. This study explored Greek postgraduate students’ views regarding mentoring in Greek primary and higher education. Unlike previous research, in the present study we did not use predefined themes or definitions to explore mentoring. Instead, the purpose was to allow participants’ definitions and opinions about the issue to emerge. Therefore, the spontaneous texts written by the participants during an hour were used as a research tool, while the 38 written texts accumulated were analyzed by the qualitative content analysis method. Findings indicated that the prevailing themes of mentoring in the literature, such as mentoring functions, outcomes, and purposes, were referred by the participants. Despite the similarities found for mentoring in both contexts studied, some differences also emerged, concerning the type of the mentoring relationship preferred and the purposes of mentoring in each context. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications.
Basics of Quench Process Hardening of Powder Materials and Irons in Liquid Media
Authors: Kobasko Nikolai I.
Published: June 2022

In the paper fundamentals of steel parts quench process in liquid media are considered which are used for designing new technologies such as intensive quenching that results in obtaining fine and nano – bainitic microstructure. These fundamentals include French law of transient nucleate boiling establishing during quenching in liquid media, law of transient nucleate boiling duration, when film boiling is absent, and self – regulated thermal process. Based on listed fundamentals, new versions of intensive austemering processes via cold liquid media are proposed. That allows obtaining fine bainitic microstructure in hardened materaials. Examples of performing austempering processes via cold liquid are provided by author of the paper. The proposed new method of quenching is combined with the martensite transformation which may appear in supercooled austenite in amount of less than 50%. Ideas of the paper can be used by engineers and scientists dealing with materials designing and heat treatment processes.
Modification of the anastomotic technique in completely laparoscopic resection rectopexy with NOSE — a case report
Authors: Mohanty A.
Published: June 2022

Introduction. We have come a long way from the era of conventional rectal surgery, with most high-volume centres now practising various degrees of laparoscopy assisted colorectal surgeries, via extracorporeal suturing, ex vivo anastomoses, hand-assisted laparoscopic resection anastomoses to robotic rectal resections. However, the limitation to most such techniques remains the fact that these are not ‘completely’ laparoscopic, with varying degrees of open assistance being required, from mobilization, suturing and anastomoses to specimen extraction via separate abdominal incisions or port-site enlargements. These ‘large’ incisions negate some of the advantages of minimal access surgery and lead to complications at such sites, such as wound breakdown, infections, and incisional herniae. This led to the origin of NOTES (Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery) and the still fairly new concept of NOSE (Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction).

Aim. We aim to describe our application of this new frontier in laparoscopic colorectal surgery, doing away with large scars prone to complications.

Materials and methods. We describe a case of completely laparoscopic resection rectopexy and trans-rectal extraction of the specimen, with a modified technique of anvil insertion, enabling the faster creation of a larger anastomosis with probably lower anastomotic morbidity.

Results and discussion. The patient underwent a ‘completely’ laparoscopic resection rectopexy and had an uneventful immediate post-operative recovery. She had no delayed post-operative complications or recurrence of the rectal prolapse and remained free of constipation as well, over a follow-up period of 6 months.

Conclusion. We conclude that this modification of the surgical technique reduces operative time, allows use of larger circular staplers, theoretically reducing the incidence of anastomotic stricture, and being easily reproducible, can be widely applied for better cosmetic and functional outcome.
Nutrient Deficiency Correction in Ovarian Cancer Patients Following Surgical Treatment: a Clinical Case
Authors: Bashirova L. I. , Safonov A. S. , Kamilova R. R. , Lipatov D. O. , Bakirov A. A. , Samorodov A. V.
Published: June 2022

Background. According to some studies, nutrient deficiencies reach an over-70% prevalence in ovarian cancer, among other gynaecological malignancies, thus constituting an important risk factor for postoperative mortality, surgical complications and longer hospital stays. Therefore, effective nutrient deficiency correction methods are warranted to improve the ovarian cancer outcomes, especially in patients following radical surgical interventions. New systematic evidence emerges in literature on the impact of such novel methods on the critical status of variant-category patients. Meanwhile, such evidence bears a recommendatory value only, with no current standard or protocol assumed for nutrient deficiency management. This issue presently remains open and requires careful research and analysis.

Materials and methods. The clinical case demonstrates the efficacy of nutrient deficiency correction in an ovarian cancer patient following an individualised radical surgery.

Results and discussion. The energy supplied on day 1 was >42%, >83% on day 3, and the target values had been achieved by day 7 of intensive therapy. The nutrient deficiency marker dynamics revealed the growth of transferrin, triglycerides and peripheral blood lymphocyte counts as early as by day 3 post-surgery. Albumin was the latest to respond, increasing only on day 7.

Conclusion. The introduction of novel nutrition strategies and knowledge of their impact depend on further high-quality research, especially prospective studies, incorporating a  greater homogeneity of intervention types and clinical outcomes, as well as wider sampling of female ovarian cancer.

Linguistic Means for Creating Images in the Cyberpunk Novel by S. Lukyanenko “The Labyrinth of Reflections”
Authors:   Institute of Humanities Moscow City University, Gromov Alexey
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the linguistic means of genre formation of the cyberpunk novel “Labyrinth of Reflections”. The process of analysis took place taking into account genre deformation: S. Lukyanenko presented an ideological and artistic innovation, which consists in including in the text of the novel the motif of “the human face”, of course, uncharacteristic for the cyberpunk genre. It was noted that, despite the departure from the canons of the genre, the language of the work has not lost its artistic power, still performing the function of genre formation. We studied such linguistic means as toponymy, which divides the space of the work into a real and virtual plan, occasional formations that actualize the signs of cyberpunk, terminological and borrowed vocabulary, which is the main means of stylizing the work, anthroponymy, which characterizes the plot-forming images, individual author’s metaphors, which perform a whole range of functions to create a virtual space and reflect the author’s intentions. The results of the study showed that the dominant language level of genre formation is lexical and stylistic, which primarily represents the artistic world of the novel as a spatio-temporal phenomenon identical to the world of “dystopia of the future”.

Published: June 2022

This study aims to describe the history of the Deli Malay and its current existence as one of the major ethnic groups in Indonesia. During the Dutch colonial period, Deli was famous for its tobacco plantations, even the practice of real contract coolies existed in Deli. Deli Malay is inseparable from other Malay sub-Malays in Indonesia as well as in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. Only the characteristics of the Malay Deli remain and have contributed a lot to the progress of the Indonesian state to date. Like the Deli Malay civilization also produced cultural icons, especially the Maimun Palace and the Al-Mashun Grand Mosque. These two historic buildings are evidence of the greatness and existence of the Deli Malay civilization in North Sumatra. In addition, the most obvious is the Malay language which is used as the national language of Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, as well as several other Malay countries. Likewise, the system of royal government originating from Bustanussalatin, became a guide for Islamic Sultanates throughout the archipelago. Including traditional Malay clothing such as the cap, songkok or skullcap, became part of Indonesia’s national dress.

Published: June 2022

Found in lakes, freshwater sapropel is a sediment with a fine structure containing more than 10% of organic matter as well as residues of aquatic organisms with a small content of inorganic components of biogenic origin and mixture of mineral ingredients. The mud was first used in medicine by ancient Greeks, and it gained more popularity together with development of balneology in Europe in the 19th century as a remedy for several diseases. The last century also brought wider popularity in its cosmetic use. Despite its wide usage, mechanisms behind its effects are not so clear yet. Broad but fragmented studies on the effects of sapropel are available, but few have used modern research methods. There is evidence suggesting that its positive health effects are linked to its thermal capacity, ability of penetration in tissues and biological activity of its components, e.g., humic substances. Evidence also suggests antimicrobial activity and positive effects on skin regeneration. This review aims at summarising available knowledge on the structure and composition of sapropel and its effects on the human body, as well as its potential for further evidence-based use in medicine and cosmetics.

The article compares the medical and geographical problems of the spread of non-communicable diseases in the world and in Azerbaijan. Cardiovascular diseases are the first among all causes of death, especially ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases as the first two causes of death. The first two places on the causes of death in our republic between 1999 and 2019 have been studied based on the facts of diseases of the circulatory system and neonatal diseases from non-communicable diseases, change in the ratio of causes of death. Thus, the impact of the 44-day Karabakh war on September 27, 2020 and the infection with the Covid-19 virus in our country was analyzed. It was learned from the statistical data that the increase in all causes of death was observed, in particular, the increase in mortality rates associated with diseases of the circulatory system is reported. Within 1 year, the number of deaths increased from 32,471 to 41,228 (8,757 people). Determination of indicators for assessing the localization of the disease among the population and ways to raise their awareness are identified.

Keywords: non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular, infectious, medical-geographical, causes of death.
The Image of Buenos Aires in Oksana Chernyavskaya's book «What is Argentina, or the Logic of Absurdity»
Authors: Nefedova Nadezhda Ivanovna
Published: June 2022

Domestic literary studies increasingly pay attention to modern literature in Russian created outside our country. These corpus of texts is often called «Russian-language literature», «literature in Russian» or «Russophone literature». Hence, this paper is based on the work of Oksana Chernyavskaya, an author who lives in Argentina, but writes in Russian. Notably, this author's works are virtually understudied at the moment. The research deals with the image of Buenos Aires, described in the book «What is Argentina, or the Logic of Absurdity» by Oksana Chernyavskaya. The study employs the methods of literary and comparative analysis. Based on the study of works by Russian and foreign scholars devoted to the image of Buenos Aires in the works of Latin American writers, as well as the book by O. Chernyavskaya the conclusion is made that the portrayal of the Argentinean capital in the book in Russian partially coincides with the image of Buenos Aires in the Latin American poetry and prose of the XX century. The text by O. Chernyavskaya also contains the image of Buenos Aires as seen by tourists and immigrants. The image of the capital is created also through the North/South and capital/ provincial dichotomies. Findings of this research can be used by students and teachers in schools, specialized secondary schools and higher educational institutions, where contemporary Russian literature (literature in Russian of the XXI century) is studied.
Real time roadway pollution in Indian cities: A comparative assessment with modelled emission

Roadway transport sector is one of the major contributors of atmospheric pollution. The study aims to understand the real time roadway pollution in megacities and medium sized Indian cities; therefore, the present study estimated on-road emission factors (EFs) and compared them with two other regulatory models for Delhi and Guwahati. Both the cities are different in traffic flow management strategies, traffic composition and vehicular density per 1000 population. Emission rate was found higher in Guwahati (17% to 38%) due to frequent stops-and-go patterns of driving profile and poor traffic flow management per vehicle as compared to Delhi, but overall roadway pollution load is higher in Delhi due to higher vehicular density. The real-time on-road EFs were compared with modelled EFs, estimated with two regulatory models International Vehicle Emission (IVE) model and COPERT-IV. The modelled EFs magnitude is lower than the real-time EFs. Pollutants HC, CO and CO2 were about 17% to 30% and 33% to 55% fewer from IVE and COPERT-IV respectively whereas NOx emissions are over predicted by both the models (COPERT-IV: -54% to -95% and IVE: -26% to -35%). Results demonstrate that efficient traffic flow management plays important role in reducing roadway pollution, which is major share of environmental pollution, but uncontrolled vehicular growth quickly offsets the benefit of emission control policies. Therefore, there is need for establishing equilibrium between emission control and vehicle growth rate in control policies for optimum benefits from policies for each city.
Stylistic features of "general rhetoric" of N. F. Koshansky
Authors: САТ К.А.
Published: June 2022

Аннотация. Данная статья посвящена проблеме исследования оригинальных текстов классики русской филологии. В ней анализируется стиль учебника Н. Ф. Кошанского «Общая реторика» – образца научно-педагогической книги XIX века (Кошанский писал слово реторика через «е»). Актуальность темы обусловлена недостаточной изученностью трудов Н. Ф. Кошанского в целом и отсутствием специальных исследований, посвященных стилистическим особенностям «Общей реторики». Современные исследователи, в частности исследователи риторики как науки(В. И. Аннушкин, А. А. Волков, Е. А. Добровольская, Ю. В. Рождественский, К. М. Ушакова,А. М. Хлопников, А. В. Шмелёва и др.), признали Н. Ф. Кошанского классиком, однаков настоящее время глубина и разнообразие его трудов недостаточно оценены. Общезначимость рассматриваемого учебника как научно-филологического труда очевидна: она состоитв уникальности с точки зрения стилистической и методической организации (композиционная строгость, гармония в сочетании элементов стилей и продуманность подачи материала и др.). Все это определяет актуальность исследуемой проблемы. Целью данного исследования является выявление особенностей научного стиля «Общей реторики» Н. Ф. Кошанского. В соответствии с целью были поставлены и решены следующие основные задачи: изучить научную литературу по исследуемой проблеме; проанализировать учебник «Общая реторика» Н. Ф. Кошанского с точки зрения словоупотребления, морфологической и синтаксической организации; проанализировать изобразительно-выразительные средства в учебнике; обобщить полученные результаты. В ходе работы были использованы такие методы, как анализ, обобщение, систематизация, а также описательный метод. Как показал анализ, с точки зрения лексической организации в учебнике обнаруживается сочетание научной терминологии и эмоционально-оценочных слов, текстучебника в целом характеризуется книжной морфологией, богатым синтаксисом и широким разнообразием изобразительно-выразительных средств. Стиль беседы с уважительным и требовательным отношением к читателю, живость, эмоциональность и выразительностьизложения, гармония в сочетании элементов стилей (научного, художественного, разговорного) составляют особенность стиля учебника «Общая реторика» Н. Ф. Кошанского. В результате исследования автор приходит к выводу о том, что стиль учебника «Общая реторика» значительным образом отличается от стиля современных учебников по риторике: в нем органичносочетаются: во-первых, сложность научного предмета, которым должны овладеть учащиеся, и простота, лаконичность изложения, во-вторых, строгий научный стиль и выразительный стиль художественной литературы, а также элементы разговорного стиля. Особенность стиляКошанского заключается в том, что в нем уместно сочетаются сложность научно-филологического предмета и простота, доступность изложения. Результаты исследования могут служить в качестве теоретического и практического материала по языкознанию.
