THE EFFECT OF ACARICIDAL DRUGS BASED ON HERBAL RAW MATERIAL ON THE FERTILITY OF IXODES RICINUS
Authors: Voronova N. , Horban V. , Bohatkina V.
Published: December 2021

Therefore, a problem of successful control of ixodes ticks occupies the important place in veterinary medicine and requires searching of new highly effective ascaricidic drugs. Modern synthetic acaricides has led to the environmental pollution problems and further development of resistance within the target tick populations. It really appeared to be the environmental problem. Taking into consideration this fact, the ixodes tick's population decreasing is one of the most important tasks of veterinary science and it requires searching for new environmentally friendly and highly effective acaricides. The aim of our study was to compare the effect of an acaricidal drug developed by us (based on thymol and citral with the addition of sage essential oil) with a synthetic chemical (based on cypermethrin 0.125%) on the fertility of females Ixodes ricinus. Our research showed that the components of the drug can affect the reproductive function of females of ixodes ticks by prolonging the time of egg formation by 3-4 days and reducing their productivity by 80.8% and lead to the death of females before they have completed the process of egg production. The development of environmentally friendly acaricides to limit the number of ectoparasitic arthropods is of practical importance and can give a new understanding of the possible use of essential oils as a part of acaricidal and repellent drugs with low impact on the environment, as well as on human and animal health.
SELF-ORGANIZATION AND SELF-CONTROL OF REMOTE WORK SPECIALISTS WITH DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL TYPOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS DURING COVID-19
Authors: Shirokaya M. , Zhukova O.
Published: December 2021

This article presents materials which are a continuation of our research publication in 20192020. The first part of the research, devoted to working conditions and the subjective attitude of specialists with different individual typological characteristics to changed remote work due to COVD-19 conditions, is described in the article by Shirokaya M.Yu. and Zhukova O.I. (East European Science Journal, Vol. 3, N 9(73), 2021). 

This article is devoted to the study of the features of self-organization and self-control among specialists with different individual typological styles in the conditions of universal remote work, as a necessary measure to ensure health safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. 120 respondents took part in the study. A professional psychological questionnaire, the methodology "Individual typological characteristics of personality" (Sobchik, 2005), "Questionnaire of self-organization of activity" (Mandrikova, 2010) and the scale of "Self-control" (Ishkov, 2004) were used to obtain the results.

It was found that all specialists in the conditions of universal remote work have a reduced level of purposefulness as a meaningful vision of the purpose of life with satisfaction with the process of achieving it. This disrupts the overall self-organization, its strategic component, which forms a temporary perspective for the future.

Specialists with visual-imaginative cognitive style are distinguished by a high level of self-organization and self-control; the conditions of remote work do not cause such specialists to change either the strategy or tactics of doing work. Remote work specialists with an intuitive cognitive style are distinguished by a low level of selforganization. Remote work specialists with the formal-logical personality type also showed a low level of selforganization and an increase in working time despite the previously revealed experience. The verbal personality type is characterized by the worst indicators of remote work self-organization. Specialists with an accentuated type have a high level of self-organization; however, they spend a lot of effort and energy to maintain it. 

At the end, the practical significance of the study is given: the identification of an individual personal contribution to the formation of specialist’s with different cognitive styles self-organization allows you to find an individual approach to a specialist and help him realize and unlock the potential of self-organization for high efficiency in the conditions of remote work.

Sexual Behavior of Russian People of All Ages Amid the Pandemic (COVID-19)
Authors: Solodovnikova Ol΄ga B.
Published: December 2021

At the beginning of 2021, a team of the Field Research Center of the Institute for Social Analysis and Forecasting (RANEPA) conducted two online surveys as part of the research work “Partnership and romantic relationships during the pandemic and afterwards”. The surveys deal with the issues of sexual behavior of Russian people. The topic of sexuality is tabooed no more, but remains sensitive, thus, men, people with an upper middle income, and with a higher education are more inclined to talk about sex in public. Sexual education and satisfaction with sex life are directly related to status, including not only money, profession, or gender, but mostly the presence of a permanent sexual partner. Despite the proliferation of traditional family values, it keeps being a basis for sexual well-being and a meaningful approach to intimate practices. The pandemic only reinforces the tendencies which have already been indicated: those who have a partner turn out to be more successful in their intimate life than those who rely on fleeting or casual relationships. At the same time, the quality of intimate life for many people is reduced due to subjective factors (fear and stress), as well as to objective problems and losses (loss of a spouse, illness, etc.). The affection of these tendencies in the longer term has yet to be explored. A discussion about sexuality open to all ages, requires redefinition of intimate life in terms of tenderness, care, altruism and positive communication, the search for “body language” demonstrating attention to the other than direct sexual intercourse. Positive sexuality includes three basic elements: 1) the rejection of any violence and the priority of “negotiation”; 2) acceptance of one’s own body and its changes; 3) lifelong sexual education as an experience of one's own mistakes as well as readiness for them. Such discourse on sexuality makes possible further studies of various social groups’ intimate life in Russia, making one of the factors of their subjective well-being less obscene.
Soviet “Humanism”: The Theme of Overcoming Human Suffering in A.M. Gorky and M.M. Zoshchenko
Authors: Aristova Ekaterina
Published: December 2021

Despite the stereotype of opposing the creative genius to the authorities A.M. Gorky and M.M. Zoshchenko were loyal to the Soviet ideology for a long period of time. Realizing the importance of literature as a non-violent method of ideas spreading and responding to the utopian hope of world transformation by the power of collectivity, they explored ways to overcome human suffering, considering this victory implementable through social transformations or scientific and technological progress in power of man. A.M. Gorky was reflecting the cruelty of life in Russian villages and a city slum for a long time. He paid much attention to the image of a fighter against suffering. One finds examples of such fighters among the heroes of Gorky’s novel Mother (1907), which was canonized by the Soviet authorities as a personification of the human ideal. They are endoewed with such dignities as benevolence, self-sacrifice, simplicity, gift for speaking, etc. In the like manner Gorky described Vladimir Lenin in an essay presented on the occasion of his death. However, Lenin was also depicted as a politician who had to use violence for the sake of  future generations’ happiness. Gorky almost justified violence and even considered it as  inevitable as a means against suffering even at the cost of  its victims. In 1940 responding to Gorky's call to “ridicule suffering” M.M. Zoshchenko creates “Before Sunrise,” a self-introspection story in which he explores his own ability to feel unhappiness.  The text imitates the science-focused atmosphere of the 1930s. He concludes that it is possible and necessary to consciously control the “lower floor” of the psyche, which includes fears, early conditioned reflexes and another, often unconscious, shadows” that affect a person’s behavior, including manifestations of cruelty and the ability to experience suffering. With this control it is possible to achieve health as a calm acceptance of the natural and social order, which is more important than a personal experience. Both writers show an undeniable desire to end human suffering and both admit the secondary importance of the suffering of an individual human being in comparison with the common good.
Evolution of the International Movement Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions – BDS
Authors: Krylov Alexander V.
Published: December 2021

The article describes insight into the factors and conditions influencing the formation of the international movement BDS including its key subjects and its most effective strategies for achieving all the goals identified. From the authors’ point of view Israel itself, by its extremely cruel and asymmetric measures against the Palestinian resistance to occupation during the second intifada stimulated the rise of the BDS movement popularity and as well as anti-Israeli tendencies in Western democracies. Another, no less important reason for the formation of the BDS is the failure of the peace process for the solution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in accordance with the agreements reached in Oslo. Under these complicated circumstances, Palestinian Arab civil society has called on the international community to end the Israeli occupation. The study provided a thorough overview of the main financial sources of the movement. The use of funds from the EU community budget, national budgets of a number of Western states, the largest charitable foundations, etc. is stated. The authors analyze the reasons for the popularity of the movement at the beginning of the 21st century, including in some structural divisions of the UN and the European Union. Special attention is focusing on measures to counter the movement by Israel, the US and some European states. In the conclusion, the study identifies and characterizes the current status of the movement, which is steadily losing its adherents at all levels, including academic and confessional spheres.
Books as Salvation from Stiffness… Taras Shevchenko of the Time of Exile in the Dimension of his Reading
Authors: Kovalets Lidiia
Published: December 2021

The study refutes the idea that existed in the minds of some Shevchenko era’s cultural figures, about Taras Shevchenko’s lack of education and poor literacy. For this purpose, the history of the poet’s reading interests evolution in the most difficult period of his life, the period of exile (1847–1857) was analyzed. His own direct testimonies (epistolary, diary, memoirs of relatives and acquaintances, etc.) were involved in the analysis. The study clarified how the disgraced artist’s previous habit of reading and the need to do it was established. The main focus was on Shevchenko’s reading behavior in the Orsk Fortress and in the Aral Expedition, in the Novopetrovsk Fortress. It relates to the active search, selection and perception of books, and even to special communication establishing. The study traces persons, who valued such poet’s behavior and stimulated it, also how functional Shevchenko’s current reading turned out to be at that period. Its composition was outlined as Russian, Ukrainian and Polish books, mainly in the field of fiction literature and literary criticism, as well as works on history, culturology, ethnology, natural and other fields of knowledge. Only due to reading and to his own artistic work the artist's spirit was saved from psychological exhaustion. Reading contributed to the intellectualization of his work. Shevchenko as a reader completely realized himself in exile considering special circumstances (loneliness, forced self-centeredness), his reading for the first time was not episodic, but complete, sometimes the leading form of the poet’s creative activity.

This article describes how the growth process of feminism in China in the perspective of constructivism regarding the life-cycle of norms. In theory, there are three stages of how a norm which in this case is feminism through the life-cycle of norms. This research method uses a qualitative method of literature study. In this article, the findings are that there are three propositions related to the emergence of international norms in feminism in China, the first is Norm emergence which is described by the emergence of one of the famous female figures, namely, He Zhen, who adopted western feminism by not leaving Chinese cultural identity which was considered good for her. Chinese women's social change. In contrast to other reformers, He Zhen specifically separates the case of feminism from nationalism, stating that women's liberation is not for the sake of the nation, but rather a moral necessity. Second, the Norm Cascade is illustrated by the influence of China's state ratification of the Convention Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) held in Copenhagen Denmark, by accepting international norms on gender equality which in turn will require domestic laws to make some changes to suit the issue. Third, Internalization is described by the growth process of Chinese feminism, namely the process of fusion with culture within the body of feminism itself, or in other words, feminism that develops has its own unique characteristics that are not owned by other countries and only China has it.Keywords: Chinese feminism, constructivism perspective, the life-cycle of norms

Bioactive components of two species of locally grown nuts: Their potential health benefits and implications for healthy living
Authors: Olatunya Ayomadewa Mercy
Published: December 2021

Background: Bioactive compounds are naturally occurring compounds in plants and animal products. They are known to have a variety of physiological functions in the body system such as: promoting general body development and prevention of the occurrence of some deadly diseases. The high burden of treatment of some deadly diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases has raised the need for scientists to generate empirical evidence on preventing these diseases using a dietary approach. Nuts have been identified as plants with potential to improve human health and prevent diseases when consumed adequately because of their rich constituents. This research work was conducted to evaluate and elucidate the bioactive components of locally grown nuts and their potential health benefits. Methods: The Phenolic compounds, phytosterols, tocopherols, and tocotrienols contents of the nuts were analyzed using standard methods.  Results: Fourteen phenolic compounds were detected in the two nuts with cinnamic and gallic acids detected in appreciable amounts in groundnuts and caffeic acid in cashew nut. The total amount of tocopherols in cashew nut was 14.08 mg/100g and 37.95 mg/100g in groundnut and the total tocotrienol was 0.85 and 4.00 × 10-3 mg/100g for cashew nut and groundnut respectively. Both samples have high quantity of sistosterol (251.36mg/100g and 238.95 mg/ 100g for cashew nut and groundnut respectively) with cashew nut having significantly higher amount. Conclusion: The results showed that the nuts are rich in bioactive compounds and could be considered as natural sources of bioactive compounds that can be obtained from diets rich in these nuts to prevent the occurrence of certain deadly human diseases that are of high burden worldwide.      Keywords: Phenolic Compounds, Tocopherols, Groundnuts, Cashew nuts
Relationship between Selic rate and Basel III parameters - A statistics approach and a fuzzy forecasting model
Authors: Tavares Thiago Henrique Barbosa de Carvalho , Ferreira Bruno Pérez , Mendes Eduardo Mazoni Andrade Marçal
Published: December 2021

In this work the relationship between the Selic rate and some bank parameters defined by the so-called Basel Accords is studied. The cross-correlation between the Selic rate and the parameters is used to explain how these parameters affect the Selic rate and vice-versa so as to define the predictability of the Selic rate using (some of) these parameters as inputs. A model is then proposed for predicting the Selic rate based on some specific parameters using fuzzy logic ideas, which dealt with a partitioning of the universe of discourse using clusters related to the output data distribution. The proposed model is compared to four other known models in the literature and showed to have better performance in average compared to all other models.

Published: December 2021

Image enhancement is one of the most critical stages towards any image processing application. The outcome of image enhancement determines the accuracy and precise nature of the overall output from the image processing under interest. This research paper has shown specific interests towards enhancement of Scanned Electron Microscopic (SEM) images which are primarily concerned with projection of fine details exist in internal details of surfaces, metals, fine powders, fibers etc. These fine details play a dominant role in detection of minute cracks, artifacts, progressing faults, texture of powders, their coarseness or fineness, internal details of fibers in forensics. However, due to the image capturing process which is through conventional camera-based models, noise tends to be a major source in degrading or blurring the underlying vital information. A cross neighbor fuzzy filter is a hybrid combination called Hybrid Fuzzy Based Cross Neighbor Filtering (HF-CNF) which is proposed in this research paper in order to minimize impulse and random noise to a great extent also to fine tune the further processing stages. The proposed method has been subjected to extensive analysis by comparison with state of art and recent benchmark methods and superior performance justified in terms of several validation metrics.
Learning discriminative and generalizable features with multi-branch for person re-identification
Authors: Cheng Ru , Wang Lukun , Wei Mingrun
Published: December 2021

Finer-grained local features play a supplementary role in the description of pedestrian global features, and the combination of them has been an essential solution to improve discriminative performances in person re-identification (PReID) tasks. The existing part-based methods mostly extract representational semantic parts according to human visual habits or some prior knowledge and focus on spatial partition strategies but ignore the significant influence of channel information on PReID task. So, we proposed an end-to-end multi-branch network architecture (MCSN) jointing multi-level global fusion features, channel features and spatial features in this paper to better learn more diverse and discriminative pedestrian features. It is worth noting that the effect of multi-level fusion features on the performance of the model is taken into account when extracting global features. In addition, to enhance the stability of model training and the generalization ability of the model, the BNNeck and the joint loss function strategy are applied to all vector representation branches. Extensive comparative evaluations are conducted on three mainstream image-based evaluation protocols, including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-ReID and MSMT17, to validate the advantages of our proposed model, which outperforms previous state-of-the-art in ReID tasks.
A two layer differential evolution algorithm for economic emission dispatch with random wind power
Authors: Qiu Chenye , Liu Ning
Published: December 2021

This paper proposes a novel two layer differential evolutionary algorithm with multi-mutation strategy (TLDE) for solving the economic emission dispatch (EED) problem involving random wind power. In recent years, renewable energy such as wind power is more and more participated in the power systems to address the problems of fossil energy shortage and environmental pollution. Hence, the EED problem with the availability of random wind power is investigated in this paper. Due to the uncertain nature of wind speed, the Weibull probability distribution function is used to model the random wind power. In order to improve the search ability, TLDE divides the population into two layers according to the fitness ranking, and individuals in the two layers are treated differently to fully investigate their own potential. The two layers can cooperate with each other to further enhance the search performance by utilizing an information sharing strategy. Also, an adaptive restart scheme is introduced to avoid falling into stagnation. The performance of the proposed TLDE is testified on the 40 units system with 2 modified wind turbines. The experimental results demonstrate that the TLDE method can achieve precise dispatch strategy in EED problem with random wind power.
Daha İyi Yaşam Endeksine (DİYE) Göre OECD Ülkelerinde Karşılaştırmalı Analiz
Authors: KAĞIZMAN Muhammed Ali , ATAN Murat
Published: December 2021

İnsanlar hayatlarını en iyi yaşam koşullarında sürdürmeyi arzu eder. Bu istek de insanların daha iyi yaşam koşulları sahip oldukları refah düzeyinin yüksekliği ile ilişkilidir. Dünyada ülkelerinin iyi refah koşullarına ulaşması için politikalar geliştirerek, ülkesinin dünya ülkeleri arasındaki refah sıralamalarında üst seviyelere taşıyacak politikaları uygulamak ister. Alan yazın çalışmaları incelendiğinde refah düzeyi sıralaması için uzun yıllar GSYİH göstergeleri kullanılmıştır. Zaman içinde ülkenin refah düzeyini sadece milli gelir belirlemenin yeterli olmadığı bu nedenle yeni bir takım sosyal göstergeler kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede OECD 2011 yılı mayıs ayında ilk olarak “Daha iyi Yaşam Endeksi” adında yeni bir refah endeksi önerisinde bulunmuştur. Önerilen endeks on bir ana boyuttan oluşmaktadır. Bu boyutlar refahı açıklayabilecek için ülkedeki yaşam kalitesi ve geliri betimleyen değişkenlerden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, OECD’nin yayınladığı Daha İyi Yaşam Endeksi (DİYE), uzman görüşleri çerçevesinde değerlendirilerek yeniden hesaplanmıştır. DİYE göstergelerinin ana ve alt kriterlerinin ağırlıklandırılmasında SWARA yöntemi kullanılmıştır. DİYE kapsamındaki ülkeler COPRAS yöntemi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Hem on bir ana kriter için hem tüm kriterler için ayrı ayrı hesaplama yapılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan model ile OECD’nin modeli arasındaki ilişkiyi tespit etmek için spearman rho sıra/rank korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarında iki model karşılaştırıldığında aralarında güçlü ve aynı yönlü (pozitif) bir ilişki görülmüştür.

The e-learning environment known as VES (the Virtual Education Space) was created at the University of Plovdiv “Paisii Hilendarski” in Bulgaria step by step for years as each subsequent version was built on the previous one. Initially a learning system called DeLC (the Distributed e-Learning Center) has been implemented to support blended and independent learning at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at the university. DeLC was a successful project, but we identified some problems, connected with interactions between the virtual and the physical world where in fact the learning process takes place. In the following period, we started the development of ViPS (the Virtual Physical Space) based on concepts of CPSS (Cyber-Physical-Social System) and IoT (Internet of Things). VES is the ViPS adaptation to education. VES is the successor to DeLC, it provides e-learning content and e-learning education services for planning, organizing, and conducting the learning process at the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the University of Plovdiv.

VES supports various forms of e-learning such as blended learning, self-paced learning, lifelong learning, inclusive and game-based learning (GBL). The following aspects of VES are essential: 1) users are the focus of attention; 2) physical “things” are virtualized; 3) there is integration between the virtual and the physical worlds. Since ViPS is developed as a CPSS ecosystem, users are the focus of attention. This determines the need to develop personal assistants to participate in the processes of the ViPS space on behalf of and in the interest of users. Three intelligent agents are modeled in VES: an internal educational agent, an external educational agent, and a career consultant. MATE (the Multi-Agent Testing Environment) is a component supported in the ViPS space for training and testing of students in a game-based manner. MATE is a set of autonomous agents, each one of which has responsibilities in the common architecture that arise from training and testing needs.

As a CPSS space, VES introduces new approaches and scenarios to solve complex problems in the field of e-learning. VES provides a reference architecture, which can be adapted for various forms of education supported by information and communication technologies.
Evaluation of Sea Level Change in Antalya Station II
Authors: AKDEMİR Halid
Published: December 2021

Antalya, Turkey, coasts are very sensitive to external dynamics so there is a need to explain the sea level change process on the shores of Antalya more closely. In line with this purpose, the sea level change on the Antalya coast has been examined and evaluated monthly and annually with a statistical and analytical approach in this study. Accordingly, the correlations of some indexes such as Southern Oscillation (SOI), Arctic Oscillation (AO), Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), El Nino Southern Oscillation (NINO 3.4), and the parameters of arctic ice melt, Antalya air temperature, global air temperature, global ocean temperature, Mediterranean Sea surface temperature (SST) with the sea level change at Antalya Station II were examined to clarify the problem. The correlation study with the indexes revealed that there is no significant relationship between the indexes and the sea level change at Antalya Station II. Among the studied variables, the arctic ice melt, and the Antalya air temperature have relatively high correlation coefficients of 0.6959 and 0.6412 respectively in the monthly analysis. The Mediterranean SST seems to have the highest correlation with the sea level change with a correlation value of 0.93 in the annual analysis. Accordingly, analytical research was carried out to examine the correlation of the change of the sea level with the parameters that are thought to be the cause. Three effective parameters are identified and examined as the cause of sea level change observed at Antalya Station II, which are Mediterranean Sea temperature, ice melt, and other factors such as erosion. The result of this analytical study shows that the contribution to sea level change at Antalya Station II is mostly related to the temperature increase with a contribution of 82%, to ice melt with a contribution of 14%, and the other factors such as erosion with a contribution of 4%.

Published: December 2021

High-priced coating devices limit producing electronic devices and circuit applications widely in laboratories. Simply In this study spin coating technique was used to create surface thin films. Also with this method, an OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) device was practically produced. OLED device includes mainly HTL(hole transfer layer), fluorescent layer(light-emitting layer), and an ETL(electron transfer layer). Light-emitting layers in OLED experimental studies are frequently done with commercially produced expensive fluorescence polymers. As an example, MEH-PPV (Poly[2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethyl-hexoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]), Alq3 (Tris-(8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum) are mostly known and used fluorescent semiconductor polymers. Alternative to these fluorescent polymers, three different produced quinoline ligand products has fluorescent feature were evaluated. After comparing the fluorescence yields of the produced three complexes, it was seen that 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline has the highest fluorescent response from the others. OLED device production was done with a commercial MEH-PPV(commercial) fluorescent product, and produced (5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline). Designed OLED device illumination spectrum was found in the UV(ultraviolet) region. It was concluded that this quoniline product can use as a fluorescent material to produce an OLED device.
Family caregivers’ expectations and needs in Critical Care Units
Authors: Khalil Asma , Gul Raisa Begum
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Patient admission into the critical care unit is usually an unpleasant and unexpected life experience for the family members, and unusual for family members to cope with stress and anxiety during their hospital stay. 

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the expectations and needs of family members of the patients in critical care units at two tertiary care hospitals in Islamabad.

Methodology: An exploratory descriptive design was used to address the study questions. Using purposive sampling, 14 family members were individually interviewed through a semi- structured interview guide. A conventional content analysis method was used to analyze the data through which categories and sub-categories were identified.

Findings: The data analysis revealed three roles of the family members, which included assistance in physical care, facilitator in the provision of treatment and the decision maker. The participants expressed that their needs for information and assurance were being met to some extent; however, their need for support and comfort were not. Although the physical facilities for meeting the comfort were available in private hospital, it did not match the family members’ expectations.

Conclusion: This study revealed that despite some similarities in the role and needs, the expectations and satisfaction of the family members is linked to their awareness of the healthcare system as well as the cost of the obtained services. The suggestions of the family members are implementable to improve their experiences and satisfaction in critical care units, which can enable them to perform their roles better.
