The Feast of Lăzărel - an Example of Preservation through Adaptation of the Ethnocultural identity of the Greeks of Izvoarele Village in Tulcea County
Authors: Kozlovsky Mirela
Published: February 2023

Izvoarele village is the only compact rural settlement in Romania whose members identify as Greeks. Oral history pinpoints the genesis of this community in 1830, when a few Greek and Bulgarian families, having crossed Dobruja, settled at the foot of Consul hill. Even though these ethnic groups went through a process of ethnic synthesis throughout history, it is visible that the Greek community of Izvoarele has preserved certain valuable heritage elements serving as an identity trademark to be found in the architecture of dwellings, garments, traditions, and in their main occupation, namely agriculture and sheep rearing. The present work deals with the musical repertoire performed on the occasion of Buianciu, a custom usually practiced on Lazarus Saturday (before Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem). The protagonists of Buianciu, or Lăzăriţa by its Romanian name, are girls aged 10 to 14, who sing ritual songs in Romanian, Bulgarian, and Greek. The enacting of this custom contributes

to the consolidation of group relations to this day, as the entire community acknowledges the framework pattern of the celebration.
An Overview of the Codes and Conventions of Drama Film Music
Authors: Vieriu Emanuela Izabela
Published: February 2023

This article is, a part of a larger chapter, which treats the analysis of also other drama soundtracks , with various plots, directing visions and kinds of typologies in order to draw a line between the conventions and codes in music. Still, it is hard, since the final result is mostly an eclecticism between program music, large types of audio layouts, applied accordingly to the script and the personal craft of the composer. I identified some general approaches in drama film music, such as: the large usage of strings, or the highlight of melodic parameter, the minor keys and so on. I believe, for a composer it is essential to know the tools one needs to choose before writing music for a film. Even more, the codes found in an soundtrack are necessary because of the fact that they „talk” about the composer s style, his trademark.
Metaphysical Meanings and Archetypal Romanian Symbols in Today’s Romanian Music
Authors: Dutica Luminita
Published: February 2023

Late 20th-century Romanian composition stood out, above all, by its ability to open itself to novelty and experiment, and virtually align itself with everything that Western Europe considered to be an avant-garde artistic movement at that time. However, as time has shown, this “synchrony” – which is sometimes translated by the terms of the binomial “national universal” or, more precisely, “local-global” – happened somewhat selectively, avoiding the excesses and the extremes specific to the radical-nihilistic attitude present in other contemporary music cultures. One of the “keys” of this reconciliation strategy brings to the fore the Romanian composers’ preference for the great philosophical themes of our traditional culture, imbued with the metaphysical meanings and archetypal symbols delivered by myths and legends that have turned into veritable universals. Liviu Glodeanu and Sigismund Toduţă are (only) two of the creators who leaned with undisguised passion on various Romanian myths that they masterfully integrated into two extremely valuable opera. The former dedicated himself to the pre-Christian age and elevated the pagan rituals revolving around Zamolxis – the feared god of our ancestors, the Dacians – to the rank of an emblematic vision. The latter resized the dimensions of the myth of the ultimate sacrifice, masoning oneself in stone in order to build the temple of God – the church, as Master Manole represents – along with the ballad of Mioriţa – one of the founding legends of the Romanian people’s spiritual identity. In our approach, we will show some of the conceptual and language foundations of the aforementioned works.
Adapter une œuvre baroque sur un autre instrument dans une perspective historiquement informée. Traduttore tradittore ?
Authors: Frisch Jean-Christophe
Published: February 2023

From the perspective of historically informed performance, the question of transcribing a baroque musical work onto an instrument for which it was not intended by the composer. Without judging what is legitimate or not, every musician is free to make his or her own choices, a musical work is not just an arrangement of notes on a sheet. It is a sound object. Changing the instrument, using other means of expression, is therefore not a neutral change. The answer is very different depending on whether it is a question of moving from one historical instrument to another, or from an ancient instrument to the modern one.

The Valuation of the Original Text in an Opera Vocal Score: Meaning and Pronunciation
Authors: Ichim Traian
Published: February 2023

The article is dedicated to the problems of working on the text of opera librettos in a foreign language in the process of learning opera. The stages of this work are considered - from understanding the meaning, which makes it possible for the interpreter to approach the most appropriate interpretation of the composer's intention, to the elaboration of a foreign pronunciation as an important indicator of the vocalist's professionalism. The relevance of the subject is related to the practice of staging operas in the original language that has taken place root in the activity of opera houses in recent decades. The author offers modern methods of working on a text in a foreign language of an opera libretto and shares extensive practical experience in this field of activity. The idea is especially emphasized that the process of studying a vocal work in a foreign language should take place in stages: from reading and learning the text without music to understanding the idea of the work as a synthesis of music and words. The process organized in this way will allow solving the task of creating a convincing artistic image. When practicing pronunciation, the importance of correct articulation and clear diction is noted and practical advice is given to improve them. Typical mistakes of vocalists in Italian and French pronunciation in singing are listed, and ways to correct them are indicated. The author of the article emphasizes that a good knowledge of foreign languages is an indispensable tool condition for a vocalist who dreams of a successful career.

Published: February 2023

This paper discusses the role of the local production of liquor – or hooch – as a means of cultural reproduction and participation in the informal economy within rural areas, and what this has implied for both state control and local resistance. I examine these issues comparatively, looking at the informal production of moonshine in Appalachia, and ţuica in Carpathian Romania. A global comparative lens helps to illuminate the changing nature of state-society relations in the context of rural peripheries and the increasing globalization of

local culture and lifeways.

The elderly represent a vulnerable category, most of the people who live in such centres have precarious financial or family situations or various chronic diseases that require constant medical care. Through this study, we want to analyse the causes and possible legislative solutions that can lead to the improvement of the lives of these people.
The Certificate of Inheritance – Legal Nature and Probative Value
Authors: Ionas Diana G.
Published: February 2023

The certificate of inheritance is the final act of the notary succession procedure which serves as proof of the quality of the heir and the property right of the accepted heirs over the goods of the successor mass, in the amount awarded to each heir. Doctrine and specialty literature continue to express controversy regarding this notary act, even in light of new provisions of the Civil Code. Consequently, the current paper aims to analyze the legal nature and the probative value of the certificate of inheritance, regarding the internal legal provisions as well as the European ones, by considering the decisions of national courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Specificity of the Patrimonial Liability in Labor Law, as a Form of the Civil Legal Liability
Authors: Manea Laura
Published: February 2023

Increasingly common in labor law disputes, the petitions regarding the award of non-material damages to applicant are subject to judicial review they are working to ensure full compensation in case of illegal conduct also in labor law. Despite the fact that the labor law does not protect and does not have as its object the non-patrimonial aspects of the parties, as repercussions on the injured person, the full reparation is ensured by repairing the moral suffering that is generated by the illegality, including with regard to the employment relationship. All the more we could say that the repair can also have a moral side in the conditions in which the parts of the employment relationship, especially the employee, invest his knowledge, time, and skills, elements related to his personality and attitude. The analysis proposed by that article seeks precisely to justify non-material damages, on the principles of tortious liability, in the context of contractual liability such as that in employment relationships, including the fact that it is possible to engage the employee's moral responsibility towards an individual employer.

Authors: Antonie L. , Vintila M.
Published: February 2023

The reason this research topic is of interest lies in the fact that the first year after birth is a major transition for all parents, especially for mothers. Thus, the objective of the present paper is to analyze certain psychosocial factors surrounding new mothers during this period and the way in which they can accentuate feelings of incapacity and powerlessness that can contribute to the development of low self-esteem and a negatively perceived body image. These factors can adversely impact the postpartum period. Furthermore, this topic has been very little explored in the Romanian population.

Stressors and Resilience in Mental Health Social Workers
Authors: Marc C. , Bacter C.
Published: February 2023

In their work, social workers in mental health services experience a high level of work-related stressors. The literature considers that resilience helps social workers to cope effectively with pressures, learn from their experiences, and develop personally and professionally. This paper presents the results of a qualitative study involving 16 social workers working with adults with mental and intellectual disabilities in different services in Bihor County. The results of the study highlight the importance of developing resilience as a factor in coping with stress. The development of resilience is based on the relationship between social workers and the work environment. Organizations contribute by creating a suitable working environment, offering support, etc. Personal characteristics such as self-esteem, adaptability, hopefulness, sense of humor, coping based on problem approach and less focus on emotions, initiative, and creativity, but also social skills and the development of supportive relationships and openness to new experiences, are key elements in this context.
Materialnoprawne i procesowe aspekty dochodzenia odszkodowania na podstawie ustawy o wdrożeniu niektórych przepisów Unii Europejskiej w zakresie równego traktowania
Authors: Domański Maciej
Published: February 2023

The paper addresses the issue of liability in damages in case of infringement of the principle of equal treatment within the meaning of the Act of 3 December 2010 on Implementation of Certain European Union Provisions in the Field of Equal Treatment. This Act is an attempt to implement a number of anti-discrimination directives in the Polish national law. Pursuant to Article 13(1) of the Act, anyone in whose respect the principle of equal treatment has been infringed is entitled to damages. In these cases the provisions of the Civil Code (Article 13(2)) and the Code of Civil Procedure (Article 14(1)) apply directly. A very important solution is provided for in Article 14(2) of the Act: an entity alleging an infringement of the principle of equal treatment should only substantiate, rather than prove the infringement. In both legal scholarship and case law of general courts major doubts have appeared concerning: grounds for liability in damages enforced on the basis of the cited regulations, the range of circumstances covered by the facilitation in the form of reduced degree of likelihood of their occurrence or the kind of damage compensated for on the basis of the analysed provisions (the problem of possibility of awarding redress). The paper provides an analysis of various models of interpreting the solution in question and attempts to optimally fit the examined regulation in the system of civil liability in damages.

Sędzia w poszukiwaniu absurdów prawnych
Authors: Łuczak Konrad
Published: February 2023

In some cases judges have to deal with legal absurdities, which have an adverse impact on the legal system and on the situation of parties to legal transactions. There are judges who fail to notice legal absurdities or just wave them aside, for instance, driven by a formalistic creed of application of law, but there are also judges who know how to discover and skillfully remove them. The aim of this paper is an attempt to establish what set of circumstances (factors) may influence judges’ ability to discover legal absurdities in the cases they decide. An analysis of selected judgements leads to several important conclusions concerning the issue of judges discovering legal absurdities. (1) Judges use different methods to track down legal absurdities, although some similarities between them are noticeable; (2) The search for legal absurdities is done in the context of a judge’s discretionary power. (3) Judges discover legal absurdities in both in easy and hard cases. (4) In order to track down a legal absurdity it may be necessary to assess not only the legal text, but also an act of application of law. (5) Judges consider all facts of a given case, including its unique circumstances, to discover a legal absurdity. (6) Tracking down legal absurdities is strictly and directly connected with knowledge of different kinds of legal absurdities.
Spełnienie przesłanek uznania przedmiotu lub substancji za „produkt uboczny” w rozumieniu art. 10 ustawy z 14.12.2012 r. o odpadach w orzecznictwie sądów administracyjnych
Authors: Gołąb Łukasz
Published: February 2023

Regulations relating to the classification of waste as the so-called ‘by-products’, and consequently allowing for a different handling of waste than in the case of ‘usual’ waste and therefore less restrictive, are included in Articles 10 and 11 of the Act on Waste. The application of these provisions in practice creates significant difficulties related to the use of eligibility conditions set forth in Article 10 Act on Waste, which include a series of general clauses. Their interpretation has become the subject of divergent decisions in the practice of the competent authorities in these cases and, as a consequence, a number of divergent decisions in the case law of administrative courts, which in recent years have particularly often faced the need to assess the activities of environmental protection authorities, including the correct application of the premises for recognizing an object or substance as a ‘by-product’. The purpose of this article is to analyse the decisions of administrative courts under Article 10 of the Act on Waste with regard to applying the conditions for recognizing objects or substances as a ‘by-product’ in the practice of decisions of environmental protection authorities.

Strength in coalitions: Community detection through argument similarity
Authors: Budán Paola Daniela , Escañuela Gonzalez Melisa Gisselle , Budán Maximiliano Celmo David , Martinez Maria Vanina , Simari Guillermo Ricardo
Published: February 2023

We present a novel argumentation-based method for finding and analyzing communities in social media on the Web, where a community is regarded as a set of supported opinions that might be in conflict. Based on their stance, we identify argumentative coalitions to define them; then, we apply a similarity-based evaluation method over the set of arguments in the coalition to determine the level of cohesion inherent to each community, classifying them appropriately. Introducing conflict points and attacks between coalitions based on argumentative (dis)similarities to model the interaction between communities leads to considering a meta-argumentation framework where the set of coalitions plays the role of the set of arguments and where the attack relation between the coalitions is assigned a particular strength which is inherited from the arguments belonging to the coalition. Various semantics are introduced to consider attacks’ strength to particularize the effect of the new perspective. Finally, we analyze a case study where all the elements of the formal construction of the formalism are exercised.
A human-simulated fuzzy membrane approach for the joint controller of walking biped robots
Authors: Liu Xingyang , Zhang Gexiang , Mastoi Muhammad Shahid , Neri Ferrante , Pu Yang
Published: February 2023

To guarantee their locomotion, biped robots need to walk stably. The latter is achieved by a high performance in joint control. This article addresses this issue by proposing a novel human-simulated fuzzy (HF) membrane control system of the joint angles. The proposed control system, human-simulated fuzzy membrane controller (HFMC), contains several key elements. The first is an HF algorithm based on human-simulated intelligent control (HSIC). This HF algorithm incorporates elements of both multi-mode proportional-derivative (PD) and fuzzy control, aiming at solving the chattering problem of multi-mode switching while improving control accuracy. The second is a membrane architecture that makes use of the natural parallelisation potential of membrane computing to improve the real-time performance of the controller. The proposed HFMC is utilised as the joint controller for a biped robot. Numerical tests in a simulation are carried out with the planar and slope walking of a five-link biped robot, and the effectiveness of the HFMC is verified by comparing and evaluating the results of the designed HFMC, HSIC and PD. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HFMC not only retains the advantages of traditional PD control but also improves control accuracy, real-time performance and stability.
Acupuncture Therapy on Dementia: Explained with an Integrated Analysis on Therapeutic Targets and Associated Mechanisms
Authors: Li Dun , Yang Hongxi , Lyu Mingqian , Wang Ju , Xu Weili , Wang Yaogang
Published: February 2023

Background:

Dementia, mainly Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD), remains a global health challenge. Previous studies have demonstrated the benefits of acupuncture therapy (AT) in improving dementia. Nevertheless, the therapeutic targets and integrated biological mechanisms involved remain ambiguous.

Objective:

To identify therapeutic targets and biological mechanisms of AT in treating dementia by integrated analysis strategy.

Methods:

By the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of AD, VaD, and molecular targets of AT active components, the acupuncture therapeutic targets associated with the biological response to AD and VaD were extracted. Therapeutic targets-based functional enrichment analysis was conducted, and multiple networks were constructed. AT-therapeutic crucial targets were captured by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The interactions between crucial targets with AT active components were verified by molecular docking.

Results:

Our results demonstrated that 132 and 76 acupuncture therapeutic targets were associated with AD and VaD. AT-therapeutic crucial targets including 58 for AD and 24 for VaD were captured by WGCNA, with 11 in shared, including NMU, GRP, TAC1, ADRA1D, and SST. In addition, 35 and 14 signaling pathways were significantly enriched by functional enrichment analysis, with 6 mutual pathways including neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, GABAergic synapse, calcium signaling pathway, cAMP signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, and inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels.

Conclusion:

The improvement of AD and VaD by AT was associated with modulation of synaptic function, immunity, inflammation, and apoptosis. Our study clarified the therapeutic targets of AT on dementia, providing valuable clues for complementing and combining pharmacotherapy.

Background: Insufficient amounts of survival motor neuron protein is leading to one of the most disabling neuromuscular diseases, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Before the current study, the detailed characteristics of Iranian patients with SMA had not been determined. Objective: To describe the key demographic, clinical, and genetic characteristics of patients with SMA registered in the Iranian Registry of SMA (IRSMA). Methods: IRSMA has been established since 2018, and the demographic, clinical, and genetic characteristics of patients with SMA were recorded according to the methods of treat neuromuscular disease (TREAT-NMD) project. Results: By October 1, 2022, 781 patients with 5q SMA were registered. Of them, 164 patients died, the majority of them had SMA type 1 and died during the first 20 months of life. The median survival of patients with type 1 SMA was 23 months. The consanguinity rate in 617 alive patients was 52.4%, while merely 24.8% of them had a positive family history. The most common type of SMA in live patients was type 3. Morbidities were defined as having scoliosis (44.1%), wheelchair dependency (36.8%), tube feeding (8.1%), and requiring mechanical ventilation (9.9%). Most of the registered patients had a homozygous deletion of SMN1, while the frequency of patients with higher copy numbers of SMN2, was less in more severe types of the disease. Earlier onset of the disease was significantly seen in patients with lower copy numbers of SMN2. The neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) gene deletion was associated with a higher incidence of more severe types of SMA, higher dependency on ventilators, tube feeding, and earlier onset of the disease. Conclusions: The IRSMA is the first established Iranian nationwide registry of patients with SMA. Using this registry, decision-makers, researchers, and practitioners can precisely understand the epidemiology, characteristics, and genetics of patients with SMA in Iran.
Correlation between nystagmus intensity and vestibular–ocular reflex gain in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: A prospective, clinical study
Authors: Onal Merih , Aygun Ahmet , Colpan Bahar , Karakayaoglu Harun , Onal Ozkan
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Video head impulse test (vHIT) and videonystagmography (VNG) provide significant benefits in evaluating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and determining the semicircular canal localization of the otoconia. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vestibular–ocular reflex (VOR) gains measured via vHIT and the slow-phase velocity (SPV) of nystagmus in patients with the posterior semicircular canal (PSCC)-BPPV. METHODS: Sixty-two patients were included in this study and divided into the study (n = 32, patients with isolated PSCC-BPPV) and control (n = 30, age- and sex-matched healthy individuals) groups. While VOR gains were measured with vHIT in both groups and compared between groups, the SPV values of nystagmus observed during the Dix-Hallpike maneuver in the study group were recorded using VNG and compared with the VOR gains of the study group. RESULTS: There were significant differences in posterior canal VOR gains between the study and control groups (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). Although the affected PSCC had decreased VOR gains versus the control group, it was still within the normal range. However, there was no significant relationship between the VOR gains of the affected PSCC and the SPV of the nystagmus. CONCLUSIONS: vHIT can help detect semicircular canal dysfunction in patients with PSCC-BPPV. The SPV values of nystagmus on VNG during the Dix–Hallpike maneuver do not correlate with the level of VOR gain.

Abstract Kesetaraan gender memang sudah ada sejak tahun 1990-an di Indonesia. pengetahuan masarakat tentang kesetaraan gender masih banyak yang tidak paham bahkan gender biasanya disamakan dengan seks (jenis kelamin). Maka dari itu banyak masyarakat yang kurang paham dengan konsep kesetaraan gender. Memahami gender tidak hanya peraan  saja, akan tetapi hubungan antara laki –laki dan perempuan juga harus dipahami. Kedudukan tertinggi itu juga bisa di capai oleh kaum perempuan dan tidak hanya laki-laki saja yang bisa memimpin akan tetapi perempuan juga punya kedudukan untuk menjadi pemimpin.   Peran perempuan didesa juga sangat diperlukan untuk sama sama membangun prekonomian desa dan pembangunan desa. Sama halnya seperti seorang petani, perempuan yang bekerja, perempuan yang menuntut ilmu pendidikan, dan menjalankan kewajiban rumah tangga. Sudut pandang masyarakat desa tentang perempuan pulang malem juga sudah tidak teralu menjadi bahan pembicaraan. Perempuan yang ulang malem juga memiliki kegiatan yang ada di luar yang tidak hanya dilakukan oleh laki-laki saja. Hal tersebut termasuk kedalam kegiatan mengaji, sholawatan, bekerja dan kegiatan berorganisasi lainnya. Kata Kunci: kesetaraan gender, sudut pandang masyarakat terhadap perempuan.

Cultural heritage buildings play an effectual role in transferring cultural values to future generations as they are a significant source of sustainability in maintaining the cultural heritage. With the passage of time, these historical buildings have lost their actual character and aesthetic value. The only way to retain the position of these historical buildings is by following Adaptive Reuse as a particular method to sustain the traditional and cultural heritage of the colonial buildings situated at Mall road. This method proved to be helpful in preserving the heritage buildings when they start losing their originality. The reuse of buildings and adapting buildings for some other functions has become a growing trend now a days. As the revival of these buildings have not only minimized the construction, storage, and energy consumption by using adaptive reuse techniques, but it has also provided a sustainable ecosystem. The current research   identified the need to understand the negligence factors implicated by the Adaptive Reuse practices of colonial buildings situated on Mall Road, Lahore, Pakistan. The negligence shown towards the colonial buildings identified the lacking practice which can only be recovered by incorporating reuse methods for the sustainability of built heritage. Therefore, the improvisation of factors like ignorance and lack of bylaws and policies, would lead to the achievement of productive and efficient reuse of built heritage. The current study was conducted in an urban area situated on the Mall Road, Lahore, by using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies a mixed methodology. Through this methodology, the researcher conducted and analyzed interviews which led to some suggestions, which can be considered at micro and macro level to monitor adaptive practice of heritage buildings. There is a dire need to take effective measures through proper investigation to preserve these colonial heritage buildings.
Education in liquid modernity: educate and forming in an uncertain world
Authors: Meirinhos Manuel , Portela Lays de Jesus
Published: February 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to reflect on the educational and formative issues in liquid modernity, characterized by fluidity, ephemeral relationships, and the constant obsolescence of knowledge and competencies. Methodology/Approach: The research conducted is based on bibliographic research and narrative, supported by documents from the author of liquid modernity, authors who have already reflected on the subject, and international organizations, which guide us to future educational scenarios. Findings: The metaphor of education in liquid modernity takes Bauman's sociological perspective. If there is a modern liquid society, there is a need to create a liquid education, capable of responding to the challenges of this society. This new social context, as opposed to the stable world of the previous solid modernity, implies an uncertain world. Research Limitation/implication: We live in a time of unpredictable but constant transformation in a global society supported by digital technologies, where the challenges of education and training are increased. It is intended to raise awareness of the new challenges as well as the need to adapt the education and training systems. Originality/Value of paper: The metaphor of liquid modernity allows characterizing today's society. The well-known digital society can be deepened and better contextualized through liquid modernity.
How to Discern the Spread of Al-Shabaab Networks from ‘Ungoverned Spaces’ using the Ink Blot Logic of Diffusion
Authors: Onditi Francis
Published: February 2023

The current military counterterrorism strategies in the Horn of Africa are state-centric, being configured based on the African Union’s model of anti-terrorism laws. However, this strategy is incongruent with the typical behaviours of terrorist groups, as such groups often establish kinship networks across borders, along with maintaining a local presence embedded within communities. Hence, predicting the movement and spatial distribution of complex organized terrorist groups such as Al-Shabaab directly can prove difficult. However, indirectly plotting the occurrence of ‘ungoverned spaces’ (both physical and non-physical ones) can improve predictability—thus improving counter-terrorism (CT) strategies against the group. To provide empirical support for this hypothesis, this article utilized a combination of analytical techniques – including the ‘_ink blot’ _logic technique – to identify the role of ‘loose bonds’ and ‘hard bonds’ in the distribution of terrorists’ activities ranging from the group’s epicenter in Somalia to neighboring Kenya. This article argues that the ‘loose bonds’ established between states through official foreign policy praxis seem comparatively less likely to reinforce CT measures. Rather, the ‘hard bonds’ created among ethnic groups across borders lie at the heart of an effective transnational CT strategy.
Grammatical Aspects of Feminatives Through the Ukrainian Prism
Authors: Vakulenko Maksym
Published: February 2023

This article aims to study the grammatical and social aspects of the use of feminatives in the Ukrainian language on the basis of terminology science. It was shown that adding in text extra feminatives as simply opposed to masculinitives may result in a number of inconsistencies leading to violation of grammatical and phonological rules and to the degradation of the language expressive ability. Not doing much to make a woman more visible, this opposition, in particular, leaves no room for correctly identifying non-binary persons and personified objects.

As a possible solution, we propose to recognize the general gender combining simple genders by the logical “OR”, the existence of which follows from the analysis of the language practice. The corresponding nouns should be used instead of the masculine names in the generalizing function.
Risk-Return Analysis of Select Crypto Currencies: During 2018-2022
Authors: Satya Sekhar Dr.GUDIMETLA
Published: February 2023

At present, everyone is crazy about 'Crypto-Asset' or 'Crypto-currency' (also popularly known as Bit-coin). An investor who acquires intangible digital assets through "cryptocurrencies" should consider that they may or may not make a get returns. Sometimes there is a possibility of a loss of the entire real asset of the investor. Every investor faced the unexpected market conditions during the period i.e. 2020-21. Hence, this paper made an attempt to focus risk and return on investments in select crypto currencies during the period i.e. 2018-19 and 2021-22.

This paper focus on whether Cryptocurrency is an intangible digital asset or a way of vanishing fiat currency?

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common complaints consulted in the outpatient department. The management of osteoarthritis includes both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic measures, which aim to reduce pain, improve quality of life, diminish morbidities and delay the progression of physiologic deterioration.

OBJECTIVE: patient-reportedTo determine patient-related outcomes of adult Filipinos with knee osteoarthritis enrolled in the Osteoarthritis Multidisciplinary Clinic of the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital.

METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study involving adults with knee osteoarthritis enrolled at Osteoarthritis Multidisciplinary Clinic (OAMDC). Participants recruited were interviewed using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score questionnaire (KOOS) on the day of recruitment, on the 3rd month and on the 6th month of follow-up. 

RESULTS: Eighty-six percent of the recruited patients completed the 6th-month follow-up whose mean age is 52 (SD± 6.0). Results showed that there was a significant decline in the mean score between baseline and 3 months (p-value <0.05). However, the 6th-month follow-up showed significant improvement in all of the KOOS components (KOOS Pain, KOOS Symptoms, KOOS Function in Sports and Recreational Activities, KOOS Quality of life and KOOS Activities of Daily Living) (p-value <0.05). 

CONCLUSION: This study showed that patients enrolled in OAMDC have been observed to have significant improvement in their pain, symptoms, function in sports and recreation, activities of daily living and quality of life.
Distribution characteristics of abnormal formation pressures in the aquatic area of the Sakhalin shelf
Authors: Shatyrov A. K.
Published: February 2023

Introduction. The conditions determining the distribution of abnormal formation pressures in the aquatic area of the Sakhalin shelf are analysed using boring data.

Aim. To analyse the genesis of abnormally high pore pressure (AHPP) or abnormally high formation pressure (AHFP) zones and identify the pore pressure heterogeneities of the Sakhalin shelf.

Materials and methods. Data systematization and statistical generalization, partial borrowing of materials from field data, reference literature and published materials. Modelling of the AHPP (AHFP) formation process was performed using the PetroMod software (Schlumberger).

Results. The study revealed the isolated AHPP zones of the Sakhalin shelf, related to the syngenetic AHPPs and typically encountered in facies that develop downward the regional dip and consist of deltaic sediments, formed subsequently in the environments of internal neritic (subsaline-aqueous and offshore-marine sediments) and middle neritic (shallow marine sediments) zones, i.e., in places with the large mass accumulation rate. From this position, the AHPPs (AHFPs) in the Paleo-Amur deltaic sediments of the Sakhalin shelf were studied. Various procedures and direct borehole measurements proved the sectional presence of AHPP (AHFP) zones. Within the limits of the Sakhalin shelf, an increase in the formation pressure is recorded in several boreholes, i.e., zones of abnormally high formation pressure (AHFP) are revealed. The process of forming AHPP (AHFP) should be modelled based on the knowledge about the compaction processes of rocks, as well as their initial, final and normal porosity, density and pressure.
