Published: July 2022

The ongoing transformations in the modern world have a significant impact on the sustainable development of national economies, unify the requirements for human capital, and its educational level. Taking into account current trends, governments are taking significant measures to ensure and maintain the link between education, the economy and socio-economic development. These measures also change approaches to engineering training. At the same time, training, retraining, continuing training of educators are of great importance. Educators at present should follow trends of a dynamically changing reality. Thus, the purpose of this work is to assess the educators’ readiness for innovative professional and pedagogical activities (IPPA) in the process of their training on the module “Problembased, practice-oriented, project-based learning”, which is part of the continuing retraining program for engineering teachers iPET-3, developed within the framework of the international project ENTER (“EngineeriNg educaTors pEdagogical tRaining”), co-funded by the Erasmus + program of the European Union. The article proposes a model for the development of educators’ readiness for IPPA within the framework of professional retraining programs, a methodology for assessing the component composition of IPPA, and a three-level characteristic model of the component composition of IPPA. The use of the developed model during continuing retraining programs increases the level of teachers’ creative abilities, the amount of acquired material and their pedagogical skills.

The aim was to describe the small bowel morphology with conventional B-mode and elastography and additionally to evaluate dynamic effects of COVID-19 associated small bowel microvascularization using CEUS with color coded perfusion parameters. Thirteen patients with severe COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were investigated. 13 patients required intensive care treatment with mechanical ventilation. Five patients required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was performed by an experienced investigator as a bolus injection of up to 2.4 ml sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles via a central venous catheter. In the parametric analysis of CEUS, the flare of microbubbles over time is visualized with colors. This is the first work using parametric analysis of CEUS to detect perfusion differences in the small bowel. Parametric analysis of CEUS in the intestinal phase was carried out, using DICOM loops for 20 seconds. In 5 patients, parametric analysis revealed intraindividual differences in contrast agent behavior in the small bowel region. Analogous to the computed tomography (CT) images parametric analysis showed regions of simultaneous hyper- and hypoperfusion of the small intestine in a subgroup of patients. In 5 patients, the parametric image of transmural global contrast enhancement was visualized. Our results using CEUS to investigate small bowel affection in COVID-19 suggest that in severe COVID-19 ARDS systemic inflammation and concomitant micro embolisms may lead to disruption of the epithelial barrier of the small intestine. This is the first study using parametric analysis of CEUS to evaluate the extent of small bowel involvement in severe COVID-19 disease and to detect microemboli. In summary, we show that in COVID-19 the small bowel may also be an important interaction site. This is in line with the fact that enterocytes have been shown to a plenitude of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-2 receptors as entry sites of the virus.
A human factors perspective on safety culture
Authors: Mrugalska Beata , Dovramadjiev Tihomir
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: In the last decades a revolution for safety industries is widely recognizable. Regulatory bodies have tried to investigate more and more how the industry can get better and learn from hazardous events. Moreover, industrial associations have increased the amount of provided best practices, and started to train and certify new standards of process safety. However, experts indicate that one of the most important elements in safety performance is the role of people. The recent findings of accident investigations demonstrate a growing recognition that the cultural context and human performance may influence safety and therefore, a focus on safety culture is inevitable in contemporary enterprises. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to establish the relationship between human factors and safety culture in industrial environment. METHODS: In the research study we adopted multiple methods that consisted of the completion of a safety culture assessment survey in an industrial sector (243 responses) and research interviews (5 in total) within industrial authorities. RESULTS: The results of the research clearly show a crucial role of human factors in safety culture. It was investigated in relation to safety training, safety awareness, hazard identification and risk, responding to incidents, and communication and safety. CONCLUSIONS: Summing up, it can be concluded that the behaviours and awareness of humans and a positive safety culture influence directly safety good practices, hazard control, incident reporting and finally number and scope of accidents at work.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: The focus of the article is on the attitudes among 8th graders in European countries on future European/EU integration and cooperation. OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to investigate to what extent different background characteristics are related with students’ attitudes, opinions and expectations about sense of European identity, future of Europe (and EU), and student’s endorsement of European cooperation (where part of the scale is also variable “to reduce unemployment”). And how strong is the association between student positive expectations towards Europe and other attitudes related with Europe/EU, and is there clear divide between post-communist countries (newer democracies in Europe) and the rest? METHOD: The techniques used to analyse the data are descriptive statistics, linear and binary logistic regression, Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Datasets are from last cycle of the International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS), N = 52,788 students. RESULTS: Results show important differences in perceptions, attitudes and expectations between students in newer and older democracies. These patterns may not always be clear and interpretable, but they show the differences across Europe. CONCLUSIONS: Future direct research are pointing on importance of having in mind that different background characteristics attributes to differences in attitudes’ developments (and that this difers among countries), as well as on very challenging decisions when considering different regions to compare results among them, at that even post-communistic countries in Europe can not always be grouped in one “block”.

Published: July 2022

Background: The relationship between grip strength and cognitive function remains no consensus in the older adults. Objective: To investigate the association of grip strength with cognitive function and cognitive performance in different domains. Methods: Participants of the present cross-sectional study were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014. Grip strength was measured by grip dynamometer, and combined handgrip strength was the sum of the largest reading from each hand. Four cognitive domains (immediate and delayed memory, language, and attention) were assessed by a set of neuropsychological tests. The subjective cognitive decline was determined via self-report. Results: Among 2,618 participants, combined grip strength was positively associated with scores on global cognitive function and each cognitive domain after controlling for demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and history of disease. In addition, compared to those with grip strength < 46.7 kg, participants with grip strength≥75.3 kg had odds ratios of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.21 to 0.63) for poor global cognitive function, 0.66 (95% CI: 0.38 to 1.13) for poor immediate memory, 0.53 (95% CI: 0.30 to 0.93) for poor delayed memory, 0.48 (95% CI: 0.27 to 0.86) for poor language function, 0.20 (95% CI: 0.11 to 0.35) for poor attention, and 0.36 (95% CI: 0.18 to 0.73) for subjective cognitive decline in fully adjusted model. Conclusion: Older adults with higher grip strength were significantly associated with better performance on cognition function included global and various domains such as memory, language, attention, and subjective cognitive decline.

Published: July 2022

Background:

Multidomain interventions which incorporate exercise and dietary supplementation to target both cognitive and physical health domains may be an important approach to delay cognitive decline.

Objective:

The Protein Omega-3 aNd vitamin D Exercise Research (PONDER) study investigated the effects of a 6-month multifaceted intervention in community-dwelling older adults with subjective memory impairment on cognition (primary outcome), physical function, and body composition with a further 6-month follow up for cognition (secondary outcomes).

Methods:

Single-center, community-based, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving a 6-month multifaceted intervention with a further follow-up at 12 months. A total of 147 participants [mean age 70.2 years (SD 6.1), 70% female] were randomized to a multimodal exercise program consisting of twice-weekly supervised resistance and aerobic training, combined with a daily omega-3 (900 mg EPA, 600 mg DHA), vitamin D (1000 IU) and protein (20 g) supplement ( n = 73), or a control condition ( n = 74) comprising stretching/flexibility sessions combined with a placebo. The primary outcome was a composite CogState measure and Trail-Making Test B-A.

Results:

There were no significant between-group differences in the change of cognition at 6 or 12 months or physical function outcomes at 6 months, but the intervention significantly improved total lean mass compared to controls [0.72 kg (95% CI 0.26–1.19), p = 0.001].

Conclusion:

A multi-faceted intervention including an omega-3, vitamin D and protein-enriched supplement with twice-weekly exercise training did not provide any benefits to cognitive or physical function in older adults with subjective memory impairment, despite improvements in lean mass.

Published: July 2022

Background: There are few studies on the locus coeruleus (LC) in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and the potential differences in the LC related to the underlying proteinopathy. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the LC in FTLD subgroups. Methods: Neuropathological cases diagnosed with FTLD were included. The subgroups consisted of FTLD with tau, transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP) and fused in sarcoma (FUS). Micro- and macroscopical degeneration of the LC were assessed with respect to the number of neurons and the degree of depigmentation. A group of cognitively healthy subjects and a group with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) served as comparison groups. Results: A total of 85 FTLD cases were included, of which 44 had FTLD-TDP, 38 had FTLD-tau, and three had FTLD-FUS. The groups were compared with 25 VCI cases and 41 cognitively healthy control cases (N = 151 for the entire study). All FTLD groups had a statistically higher microscopical degeneration of the LC compared to the controls, but the FTLD-tau group had greater micro- and macroscopical degeneration than the FTLD-TDP group. Age correlated positively with the LC score in the FTLD-tau group, but not in the FTLD-TDP group. Conclusion: A greater microscopical degeneration of the LC was observed in all FTLD cases compared to healthy controls and those with VCI. The LC degeneration was more severe in FTLD-tau than in FTLD-TDP. The macroscopically differential degeneration of the LC in FTLD subgroups may facilitate differential diagnostics, potentially with imaging.
The Effects on Gait of 4-Wheeled Walker Use in People with Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia and Gait Impairment: A Pilot Study
Authors: Omaña Humberto , Madou Edward , Hunter Susan W.
Published: July 2022

In people with dementia, provision of mobility aids is standard treatment for those with impaired gait. However, mobility aid use is independently associated with increased falls risk. In this short communication, gait velocity and stride time variability were recorded in eleven adults with Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Three conditions were tested: single-task (no aid), walking with a walker, and dual-task (walker use and counting backwards) under both a straight path and Figure-of-8 walking configuration. Gait velocity increased when using a walker compared to no aid in the Figure-of-8 walking configuration. Walker use improved gait in simple walking, but benefits diminished upon dual-task.

Published: July 2022

Objective: Background: Plasma neurofilament light chain (NFL) is a recognized biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and inflammation. Intrinsically organized default mode network core subsystem and frontoparietal network (FPN) and their interactions support complex cognitive function. The present study investigated the inflammatory effect on cognitive integrity via plasma NFL coupling internetwork interactions in AD. Objective: Objective: This study investigates the hypothesis that inflammation-related plasma NFL could affect the interactions of the core subsystem and FPN, which leads to the aggravation of the clinical symptoms of AD-spectrum patients. Objective: Methods: A total of 112 AD-spectrum participants underwent complete resting-state fMRI, neuropsychological tests, and plasma NFL at baseline (n = 112) and after approximately 17 months of follow-up (n = 112). The specific intersystem changes in the core subsystem and FPN were calculated and compared across groups. Then, the classifications of different AD-spectrum groups were analyzed using the association of plasma NFL and the changed intersystem interacting regions. Finally, mediation analysis was applied to investigate the significance of plasma NFL coupling networks on cognitive impairments in these subjects. Objective: Results: Discrimination of disease-related interactions of the core subsystem and FPN was found in AD-spectrum patients, which was the neural circuit fundamental to plasma NFL disrupting cognitive integrity. Furthermore, the clinical significance of plasma NFL coupling networks on AD identification and monitoring cognitive impairments were revealed in these subjects. Conclusion: The characteristic change in inflammation-related plasma NFL coupled with brain internetwork interactions could be used as a potential observation indicator in the progression of AD patients.

A 43-year-old came to our observation for progressive cognitive impairment, confirmed by the neuropsychological evaluation. A diagnosis of multidomain amnestic mild cognitive impairment, due to unknown reasons, was posited at the first assessment. The patient’s neurological exam was otherwise completely normal. The patient’s mother was clinically diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in her forties. The patient underwent neuroimaging investigations and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Our diagnostic work-up pointed toward a neurodegenerative etiology, but the presence of concurrent cardiomyopathy emerged in the meantime. Due to the patient’s family history, a thorough genetic screening was performed. The results revealed a unique genetic asset, with heterozygotic variants of three amyloid-related genes (PSEN1, APP, and MYBPC3). PSEN1 and MYBPC3 mutations showed distinct pathogenic features and accounted for the patient’s brain and cardiac amyloidosis, whereas the APP variant was of uncertain pathological implications.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

Semen analysis is a routine predictor of male fertility, and however, measurements of sperm morphology, motility, and concentration do not always evince genomic defects.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate sperm parameters of renal transplant patients and to evaluate sperm DNA defects.

METHODS:

Seminal samples from 25 healthy controls and 56 transplantation patients were analyzed to evaluate DNA fragmentation by TUNEL. The differences in TUNEL-assay results and seminal parameters were compared between kidney transplant patients and controls.

RESULTS:

Among the azoospermic patients, 37.5% had fathered children before the disease. Three patients receiving sirolimus treatment had oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and infertility. In kidney transplant patients, DNA fragmentation was slightly higher than controls. Total motility (%) of the spermatozoa from the kidney transplant patients (42.2±21.9) was significantly lower ( P < 0.05) than those of the control group (64.3±11.9). Moreover, control individuals had significantly higher ( P < 0.05) normal morphology (23.2%) compared to the patient group (20.3%). Concerning sirolimus treatment, three patients had severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia in their ejaculate, and however, DNA fragmentation rates were not significantly higher than those in the remaining individuals of the transplant group.

CONCLUSIONS:

The sperm DNA fragmentation rate in kidney transplant patients was slightly higher than in the control group ( P = 0.09). However, the amount of spermatozoa DNA damage may lead to infertility in kidney transplant patients.
Towards verifiable web-based code review systems

Published: July 2022

Although code review is an essential step for ensuring the quality of software, it is surprising that current code review systems do not have mechanisms to protect the integrity of the code review process. We uncover multiple attacks against the code review infrastructure which are easy to execute, stealthy in nature, and can have a significant impact, such as allowing malicious or buggy code to be merged and propagated to future releases. To improve this status quo, in this work we lay the foundations for securing the code review process. Towards this end, we first identify a set of key design principles necessary to secure the code review process. We then use these principles to propose SecureReview , a security mechanism that can be applied on top of a Git-based code review system to ensure the integrity of the code review process and provide verifiable guarantees that the code review process followed the intended review policy. We implement SecureReview as a Chrome browser extension for GitHub and Gerrit. Our security analysis shows that SecureReview is effective in mitigating the aforementioned attacks. An experimental evaluation shows that the SecureReview implementation only adds a slight storage overhead ( i.e., less than 0.0006 of the repository size).

Today, Internet of Things (IoT) has provided intelligent interactions between sensors, smart devices, actuators, and cloud-based applications to ease human life. Currently, IoT-based connectivity management systems use computer-assisted learning methods to increase learning level and better understanding of the curriculums for students in universities, schools and research centers. On the other hand, virtual connectivity management systems are applied to facilitate teaching and learning methods under taken of pandemic effects. Because, data mining methods have important effect to enhancement and navigate IoT-based connectivity management systems, this paper presents a technical analysis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches for connectivity management systems in IoT environments. This paper provides a comprehensive perspective on vehicular communication systems, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) methods and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) environments that have evaluated using machine learning, fuzzy logic and intelligent algorithms. Also, applied evaluation metrics to predict and detect efficient connectivity methods, succeed learning models and enhancement of IoT-based connectivity management systems are discussed and analyzed for existing AI approaches. Finally, new research directions and emerging challenges are outlined to improve the performance of advanced IoT-based connectivity management systems.
Local compactness and paracompactness on bipolar soft topological spaces
Authors: Aras Cigdem G. , Al-shami Tareq M. , Mhemdi Abdelwaheb , Bayramov Sadi
Published: July 2022

A bipolar soft set is given by helping not only a chosen set of “parameters” but also a set of oppositely meaning parameters called “not set of parameters”. It is known that a structure of bipolar soft set is consisted of two mappings such that F : E → P (X) and G :⌉ E → P (X), where F explains positive information and G explains opposite approximation. In this study, we first introduce a new definition of bipolar soft points to overcome the drawbacks of the previous definition of bipolar soft points given in [34]. Then, we explore the structures of bipolar soft locally compact and bipolar soft paracompact spaces. We investigate their main properties and illuminate the relationships between them. Also, we define the concept of a bipolar soft compactification and investigate under what condition a bipolar soft topology forms a bipolar soft compactification for another bipolar soft topology. To elucidate the presented concepts and obtained results, we provide some illustrative examples.

Authors: King Oliver , Collman Emily , Evans Alice , Richards James , Hughes Elin , Acquah Lydia , Parsons Helen , Morrison Jo
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

Advance care treatment escalation plans (TEPs) are often lost between healthcare settings, leading to duplication of work and loss of patient autonomy.

OBJECTIVE:

This quality improvement project reviewed the usage of TEP forms and aimed to improve completeness of documentation and visibility between admissions.

METHODS:

Over four months we monitored TEP form documentation using a standardised data extraction form. This examined section completion, seniority of documenting clinician and transfer of forms to our hospital electronic patient record (EPRO). We added reminders to computer monitors on wards to improve EPRO upload.

RESULTS:

Initial data demonstrated that 95% of patients ( n = 230) had a TEP, with 99% of TEPs recording resuscitation status. However, other sections were not well documented (patient capacity 57% completion and personal priorities 45% completion, respectively). Only 11.9% of TEPs documented consultant involvement. Furthermore, only 44% of TEPs with a do not attempt resuscitation (DNACPR) decision were uploaded. Following this, we added reminders to computer monitors explaining how to upload TEP decisions to EPRO, which increased EPRO uploads to 74%.

CONCLUSION:

Communication of TEPs needs improving across healthcare settings. This project showed that the use of a physical reminder can greatly improve communication of treatment escalation decisions. Furthermore, this intervention has inspired future projects aiming at making communication more sustainable through the use of discharge summaries.
Improving the delivery of acute NIV at Kings Mill Hospital: A closed loop quality improvement project
Authors: Slaich Bhavandeep , Garrett Frederick
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND:

The British Thoracic Society (BTS) Acute Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) standards state all patients who require acute NIV should be initiated on NIV within two hours of hospital admission. The delivery of acute NIV is a time critical intervention as prompt application of acute NIV substantially reduces mortality for patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.

OBJECTIVE:

This audit aimed to assess the number of patients for whom there is a delay in the initiation of acute NIV. We also assessed the outcome of admission for patients started on acute NIV.

METHODS:

Data was collected on patients admitted to Kings Mill Hospital for acute NIV between 1/2/2019 and 31/3/2019. Awareness and knowledge of acute NIV was highlighted as an area for improvement. E-learning packages on ‘Acute NIV’ were designed and sent to medical-staff. The audit was repeated for patients admitted for acute NIV between 1/2/2020 and 31/3/2020 and analysed using chi-square tests.

RESULTS:

25 patients were included in the initial audit and 30 patients in the re-audit. Prior to intervention 31% of patients had a delay in the initiation of acute NIV, which increased to 77% post-intervention ( p < 0.0001). Prior to intervention there was a mortality rate of 17% and a mortality rate of 13% post-intervention ( p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

Further work is required to ensure the sustained delivery of acute NIV to BTS standards, however variable achievements in the targets does not seem to have a significant adverse effect on patient outcomes.

Interaction between a subsoil and group of piles joined with a raft
Authors: Ruchkivskyi Vitalii
Published: July 2022

Most pile-slab foundations are designed without taking into account the contribution of growth. Although it is well known that the grille plays an important role in overall load-bearing capacity. In such structures, the overall subsidence of the foundation is likely to be small due to the installation of more piles than necessary. However, from an economic point of view, it is desirable that the foundation be designed in such a way that the subsidence is limited to an acceptable level, but taking into account the bearing capacity of growth.

The main problem is a work of pile’s group taking into account interaction between piles through a soil base is considered. During the interaction there are additional stresses in the inter-pile space, there is an effect of "compression" of the piles by the soil from the loads transmitted to neighboring piles.

 This paper presents the results of a study of the joint work of piles and grilles under the action of static load using numerical simulations. The study used a group of piles (5 pcs.) With a diameter of 420 mm and a length of 10 m, combined with a grid. Fine sand of medium density was used as the basis of the pile foundation.

Numerical modeling was performed using an ideal elastic-plastic model with the Coulomb-Mohr strength criterion.

The work of piles at different distances between piles (1.5-2.5 m) and grating thickness 300 was compared; 500mm.

The interaction of piles and growth-verification with the surrounding soil mass is analyzed. At the lower end of the pile, in the area of contact of the pile with the ground there is a complex stress-strain state. The pitch, diameter, length of the piles, as well as the rigidity of the grille have a significant effect on this stress-strain state. Taking into account the influence of these factors is necessary to determine the patterns of distribution of external loads between the piles and the grille.

Irregular settling of the group was revealed

piles joined by a grid. The central and extreme piles are included in the work in different ways.

It is established that the inclusion of the pile grid in the work depends on its stiffness, as well as the axial distance between the piles.

It is investigated that when the distance between the piles changes, the redistribution of forces in the growth piles and piles changes.
Determination of the stress-strain state of a group of piles by numerical simulation of their interaction with the base according to field research data
Authors: Nosenko Viktor , Kashoida Ostap
Published: July 2022

Engineers often face the question: - Which software package should be chosen to solve a particular problem? The following software systems are used to solve geotechnical problems: 1) Plaxis; 2) Midas GTS NX; 3) Abaqus; 4) Lira - SAPR. Each of the software packages has certain advantages and disadvantages.

In this study, the software package "Lira - SAPR" and "Midas GTS NX" are used. With the help of which numerical modeling of the interaction of a group of piles with the base was performed, which is described in the experience of Bartolomey A. A. [1].

The stress-strain state was compared, which was obtained using the following variants of the models of the "base - pile foundation" system:

1) software package "Lira-SAPR":

1.1) piles are modeled by single-node finite elements, which are located with a step specified along the length of the pile and have rigidity in different directions and approximately take into account the surrounding soil around the pile and under its tip (FE-57);

1.2) the soil environment is modeled by non-linearly deformable volumetric finite elements; piles - rod finite elements.

2) "Midas GTS NX":

2.1) the soil environment is modeled by non-linearly deformable volumetric finite elements; piles - rod finite elements that have a "virtual" connection with the surrounding soil;

2.2) soil environment - similarly; piles - volumetric finite elements with the parameters of reinforced concrete.

It is shown that the choice of the software package and the method of modeling the base affects the stress-strain state of the "base - pile foundation" system.

Modeling the base using the belt stiffness coefficient leads to a quantitative difference between the obtained results and the field study. This modeling method is the least labor-intensive and fast. The disadvantage of this modeling method is that it is necessary to create a separate model for each stage of the load.

Modeling the base with volumetric finite elements with a nonlinear deformation law will disturb the identification of the design parameters of the base, which is quite laborious. The disadvantage of this modeling method is that it is necessary to control the correctness of the dimensions of the finite elements and their joint work.

BODY-SUPPORTED DIACHRON LANGUAGE ANALYSIS IN PHRASEOLOGY
Authors: Schkoljarenko Vira
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the investigation of ways of the appearance of phraseological units of German from diachronic aspect, which consists in identification of factors relevant for the formation of phraseology. The experience of systematization of phraseological units in diachrony based on a corpus approach.86This thesis has two main objectives. The first is descriptive: using the flourishing methodology of corpus linguistics, and a corpus of Written Texts of 18th-21th centuries, it aims to describe the development of German phraseology, in particular in relation to its semantic and structural specificity. The description confirms the phraseological specificity of German but shows that not all of this can be ascribed to semantic or structural factors.

Authors: Volfovska Olga
Published: July 2022

Since the end of the 20th century, political discourse has not only been a political, but also a linguistic and cultural problem, which is closely related to the development of democracy, the social culture of society and the rapid development of the media. The political discourse develops inproportion to the strengthening of democracy as a special form of communication. Today more than ever in politics, language is used not only as a tool for forming and expressing thoughts, but also as a means of hiding these thoughts and thus manipulating public consciousness.This paper illustrates the formation and development of a discursive approach to the analysis of political communication. Discourse analysis is considered in the article as an important methodological basis of modern research in the field of political linguistics, the tools of which allow a comprehensive analysis of political communication including the language plan, the plan of thinking and sociopolitical realities. The relevance of this approach is primarily due to the pragmatic orientation of political communication, which aims to control public opinion and impose politician's opinion on the people.Based on the work of leading scholars, the article defines the concept of discourse, as well as clarifies the concepts of public and political discourse, which are important for further research in the field of political linguistics.

Respiratory  papillomatosis  is  a  relatively  rare  disease  with  a  potential  for  devastating  consequences.  The  viral  etiology  of  this  condition  has  been  well  established.  Most  often,  the  wart  is  successfully  managed  surgically.  Post  surgical  removal,  there  exists  a  high  chance  of  recurrence  of  the  papilloma.  It  has  been  documented  that  surgical  removal  followed  by  an  adjuvant  therapy  helps  to  delay  the  recurrence.  Also,  the  use  of  quadrivalent  human  papillomavirus  vaccine  is  expected  to  decrease  the  incidence  of  respiratory  papillomatosis  or  help  with  treatment  of  the  disease  in  the  years  to  come.  Here  we  discuss  an  unusually  late  presentation  of  adult-onset  laryngeal  papilloma  that  was  managed  with  some  deviation  from  the  routine.

SOBRE O USO DO ÉPICO NA LITERATURA DE CORDEL NO BRASIL
Authors: Derigond Solenne
Published: July 2022

Neste artigo, propomos partir do trabalho sobre o épico moderno e, mais especificamente, do conceito de “trabalho épico” desenvolvido por Florence Goyet (2018) e sua função refundadora, a fim de refletir sobre dois momentos da história da produção poética do cordel: o primeiro na época de seu surgimento, no final do século XIX, e o segundo relativo ao período atual em que a literatura de cordel se destaca, por meio da didatização de sua poética. Considerando o processo constante de recriação da literatura de cordel desde sua criação, nosso objetivo é destacar a presença de material épico como modelo-fonte, tanto na estrutura narrativa quanto nos valores e personagens da literatura de cordel.

Sociologia do conhecimento: atualidade e pertinência
Authors: Santos Adelcio Machado dos
Published: July 2022

A Sociologia consiste no estudo da ordem social, o que significa a regularidade subjacente do comportamento social humano. Ela procura definir as unidades de ação social humana e descobrir o padrão na relação de tais unidades, isto é, saber como se organizam em sistemas de ação. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo visa responder: o que a literatura demonstra sobre a Sociologia do Conhecimento? Portanto, tem como objetivo promover uma reflexão sobre a Sociologia do Conhecimento e seus desdobramentos dentro do contemporâneo. Para isso, utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica. Como resultados, inferiu-se que a socialização, processo de aprendizagem da cultura, ao ultrapassar a dependência da infância, conduz à interiorização dos valores e objetivos da sociedade. Todo o conhecimento emana de produção social e, por conseguinte, da matriz axiológica relativa que se transforma em função do desenvolvimento das sociedades e das inovações tecnológicas disponíveis. Por conseguinte, a Sociologia do Conhecimento torna-se pertinente num determinado complexo de condições sociais e culturais. Destarte, a abordagem sociológica do conhecimento se reveste de relevância hermenêutica e operacional no ensejo em que se instaura a Era do Conhecimento, podendo, igualmente, contribuir sobremodo para a Gestão do Conhecimento.

Modern toplumlarda bireylerin, kapitalist sistem içerisinde gündelik yaşam pratikleri mekanikleşerek rutin ve monoton bir hale gelmektedir. Yaşamın tüketim ekseninde şekillendiği ve sürekli medyanın ve televizyonun şiddetine maruz kalındığı bu modernist yaşamda bireyselleşen insanlar, yabancılaşma, iletişimsizlik ve yalnızlık içinde kalmaktadırlar. Bu sistemin getirilerinden biri olan gündelik yaşamda değerlerin ve anlamın yitirilmesi ile birlikte, insanların baş edemediği bir bunalım açığa çıkmakta ve şiddete başvurdukları görülmektedir. Bireysel boyutta başlayan bu çökünü, toplumsal bir çöküntüye dönüşmekte ve şiddet, modern toplumların sorunlarından biri haline gelmektedir. Sinema kendi kurduğu temsillerle toplumları etkileme gücüne sahipken, bir yandan da toplumsal ilişkilerden etkilenen bir sanat dalıdır. Her dönemde sinema tarafından kullanılan şiddet teması, tür filmlerinde bir araç olarak görülüp ideolojik veya popüler kültüre hizmet ederken, auteaur yönetmenler tarafından birtakım kaygılara cevap aramak için eleştirel bir yaklaşımla kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, sosyolojik eleştiri bakış açısıyla, auteaur bir yönetmen olan Micheal Haneke’nin “Tesadüfi Bir Kronolojinin 71 Parçası” filmi aracılığıyla, modern toplum ve şiddet ilişkisinin sinema üzerinden temsilini okumak amaçlanmıştır
