In this study, the anti-nociceptive potential of Schiff bases derivatives of 4-aminoantioyrine, (Z)-4-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)-2, 3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1, 2dihydropyrazol-5-one 1 and (Z)-4-(2-nitrobenzylideneamino)-2, 3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-1-2-dihydropyrazol-5-one 2 were tested in various mice pain models and their binding affinities with different drug targets were evaluated through molecular docking studies. The binding scores were calculated through molecular docking techniques for receptor sensitivity. Acute toxicity test suggests the safety of both compounds up 200 mg/kg. In the righting test, compound 1 and 2 had a significant effect in a dose-dependent manner and showed 59.46% and 48.40% blockade of pain at 150 mg/kg, respectively. In the formalin test, dose-dependently compound 1 showed 52.95% and 62.02% of inhibition in the early and late phase at 150 mg/kg. Similarly, Compound 2 showed 45.74% and 55.95% inhibition in the early and late phases at 150 mg/kg, respectively. In the tail immersion test, both compounds caused significant pain inhibition during various assessment times with maximum effects at 74.94% and 66.80% for 1 and 2 respectively at 150 mg/kg after 120 min. In molecular docking studies, compounds 1 and 2 showed a greater affinity for LOX with a docking score of –6.50 and 6.57 respectively. Similarly, for compounds 1 and 2 the docking was –4.94 and –4.83 with COX-1 while –5.10 and –4.85 with COX-2, respectively. Taken together, both the compounds exhibited marked antinociceptive effects in various pain-induced models possibly mediated by inhibition of LOX and COX pathways.

Published: December 2021

Triammonium citrate crystal (TAC) has many applications in food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and other industries. In this work, TAC crystals were synthesized using a new method and with the least use of materials and tools. This crystal has a unique structure and special and new angles and bonds that were identified by crystallography. This crystal was then used to synthesize nitrogen- doped graphene quantum dot (N-GQD) with hydrothermal method. Synthesized N-GQD has particular morphology, fluorescence and viscosity. Compared with other nitrogen compounds necessary for N-GQDs synthesis, ammonia is much more suitable due to its low toxicity and stability. Synthesized TAC and N-GQD were identified by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, EDS, SEM, crystallography and fluorescence.

The role of reactive oxygen species in the development of cancer has become well recognized in recent years; however, evidence for a link between oxidative stress and cancer risk has not been fully explored. One of the major cancers whose number of cases has increased significantly in recent years is colon and rectal cancer, which has the second highest mortality rate in Libya. Forty subjects were divided into three groups (20 tumors from colorectal cancer patients, adjacent surrounding tumor tissues, and 20 adjacent normal tissues). Evaluation of oxidative stress indices in the samples was performed by analyzing enzymatic and non-enzymatic parameters including the activity of glutathione peroxidase and catalase as antioxidant enzymes, reduced glutathione as an antioxidant, malondialdehyde MDA levels as an oxidative damage product, nitritc oxide content NO as an inflammatory marker, and total thiols as a measure of redox status. MDA and NO levels were significantly higher in tumor tissues than in adjacent healthy tissue. Also, the surrounding tumor tissue exhibited higher MDA and NO levels compared with control tissues. The oxidant and antioxidant levels in the tumor was significantly lower than those in the surrounding tumor tissue and control healthy tissue. The results suggest that oxidant and antioxidant parameters can be used as indicators of an imbalance in humans, and as this imbalance increases, the human body may be vulnerable to developing cancer.

Authors: Parkan Ali , Mirzaei Mahmoud , Tavakoli Naser , Homayouni Alireza
Published: December 2021

Molecular interactions of indomethacin (IND) and amino acids (AA) were investigated in this work by employing the computational approaches. To this aim, the models of IND-AA were stabilized by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations yielding the most favorable configurations regarding the energy values. Next, the approach of quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) was used to recognize the roles of interactions and their significance in the bimolecular models. The results of interaction energies indicate that tryptophan (TRP) and phenylalanine (PHE) could be considered for participating in strong interactions with the IND substance. The results of QTAIM indicated that not only the electronegative atomic centers, but also homo-atomic centers could play significant roles in formations of IND-AA bimolecular models.

Published: December 2021

A list of coumarin derivatives (A-P) were investigated in this work for recognizing their reactivity features and their functions towards the monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzyme biomarkers. In this regard, the models showed that he additional of molecular groups to the original scaffold of coumarin could significantly change the reactivity features leading to various tendency for contributing to reactions with other substances. In this case, were varied based on the obtained values of chemical hardness and softness parameters. Subsequently, formations of interacting ligand-target complexes indicated the coumarin derivatives could work as selective substances for interacting with each of MAOA (D) and MAOB (L) enzyme biomarkers, in which a common substance (E) was also observed for formation of interacting complexes with both of MAOA and MAOB targets. As a consequence, the models of coumarin were seen suitable for interacting with the MAO enzyme biomarkers with the purposes of detection and medication. All required information of this work were obtained in the in silico medium.
Novel energy-aware approach to resource allocation in cloud computing
Authors: Saidi Karima , Hioual Ouassila , Siam Abderrahim
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we address the issue of resource allocation in a Cloud Computing environment. Since the need for cloud resources has led to the rapid growth of data centers and the waste of idle resources, high-power consumption has emerged. Therefore, we develop an approach that reduces energy consumption. Decision-making for adequate tasks and virtual machines (VMs) with their consolidation minimizes this latter. The aim of the proposed approach is energy efficiency. It consists of two processes; the first one allows the mapping of user tasks to VMs. Whereas, the second process consists of mapping virtual machines to the best location (physical machines). This paper focuses on this latter to develop a model by using a deep neural network and the ELECTRE methods supported by the K-nearest neighbor classifier. The experiments show that our model can produce promising results compared to other works of literature. This model also presents good scalability to improve the learning, allowing, thus, to achieve our objectives.

Published: December 2021

The National Center for Health Statistics’ (NCHS) Research and Development Survey (RANDS) is a series of commercial panel surveys collected for methodological research purposes. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NCHS expanded the use of RANDS to rapidly monitor aspects of the public health emergency. The RANDS during COVID-19 survey was designed to include COVID-19 related health outcome and cognitive probe questions. Rounds 1 and 2 were fielded June 9–July 6, 2020 and August 3–20, 2020 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel. Existing and new approaches were used to: 1) evaluate question interpretation and performance to improve future COVID-19 data collections and 2) to produce a set of experimental estimates for public release using weights which were calibrated to NCHS’ National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to adjust for potential bias in the panel. Through the expansion of the RANDS platform and ongoing methodological research, NCHS reported timely information about COVID-19 in the United States and demonstrated the use of recruited panels for reporting national health statistics. This report describes the use of RANDS for reporting on the pandemic and the associated methodological survey design decisions including the adaptation of question evaluation approaches and calibration of panel weights.
Comparison of verticality perception and postural sway induced by double temple-mastoidal and bipolar binaural 20 Hz sinusoidal galvanic vestibular stimulation
Authors: Babaee Samar , Shaabani Moslem , Vahedi Mohsen
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is believed to be one of the most valuable tools for studying the vestibular system. In our opinion, its combined effect on posture and perception needs to be examined more. OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of a 20 Hz sinusoidal Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (sGVS) on the body sway and subjective visual vertical (SVV) deviation through two sets of electrode montages (bipolar binaural and double temple-mastoidal stimulation) during a three-stage experiment (baseline, threshold, and supra-threshold levels). METHODS: While the individuals (32 normal individuals, 10 males, the mean age of 25.37±3.00 years) were standing on a posturography device and SVV goggles were put on, the parameters of the body sway and SVV deviation were measured simultaneously. Following the baseline stage (measuring without stimulation), the parameters were investigated during the threshold and supra-threshold stages (1 mA above the threshold) for 20 seconds. This was done separately for each electrode montage. Then, the results were compared between the three experimental stages and the two electrode montages. RESULTS: In both electrode montages, “the maximum amplitude” of the mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) body sway decreased and increased in the threshold and supra-threshold stages, respectively, compared to the baseline stage. Comparison of the amount of  “amplitude change” caused by each electrode montages showed that the double temple-mastoidal stimulation induced a significantly greater amplitude change in body sway during both threshold and supra-threshold stages (relative to the baseline stage). The absolute mean values of the SVV deviation were significantly different between the baseline and supra-threshold levels in both electrode montages. The SVV deviation in double temple-mastoidal stimulation was a bit greater than that in the bipolar binaural stimulation. CONCLUSION: Double temple-mastoidal stimulation has induced greater amount of change in the body sway and SVV deviation. This may be due to the more effective stimulation of the otoliths than semicircular canals.

Ideological and philosophical principles of thematization of ballet criticism by Akim Volynsky
Authors: Pidlypska Alina
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the main ideological and philosophical principles of thematization of ballet criticism by Akim Volynsky. Methodology. The research was carried out on the basis of theoretical generalizations, systematization, comparison, using the chronological principle and culturological approach. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the main ideological and philosophical principles of thematization of the ballet criticism of Akim Volynsky are revealed. Conclusions. For А. Volynsky, the concepts of "mind" and "spirit" were synonymous, which testifies to the effectiveness and productivity of his critical academic modernist (symbolist) ballet discourse, educational, focused on the harmony of rational and spiritual principles of intention. Unlike many contemporaries who professed the cult of Dionysus, Volynsky considered Apollo the highest symbol of spirituality and intellectuality in man. But he argued that the "Apollonian" revival in the culture of that time was opposed by a too strong and all-pervading chaotic "Dionysian" principle. Volynsky traces the evolution of classical ballet from ancient cults and seeks to comprehend its psychological content. He believed that criticism should be non-ideological, artistic, based on absolute idealistic values, which caused a wide range of opinions of theorists and practitioners of ballet art: from harsh condemnation (A. Gvozdev, A. Piotrovsky, I. Sollertinsky) to recognizing the importance of the critic's theoretical intentions for in its time (V. Gaevsky, R. Zakharov). A. Volynsky contributed to the institutionalization of ballet criticism in the Russian Empire and in the Soviet Union, differentiating it into professional and amateurish.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to explore the various interpretations of the concepts of "improvisation" and "interpretation" encountered in modern science, to identify the most appropriate definitions of these concepts that reveal the specificity of jazz performance and determine the relationship of these two concepts. The methodology of the article is the researches of improvisation and interpretation of various orientations. First, a scientific approach is used, which characterizes this process as a creative method. The scientific works devoted directly to improvisation in jazz are also used, which contain analysis of the improvisations of well-known performers and exercises for teaching local techniques. The scientific novelty of the work is that the term "interpretation" is considered in a broader sense in interaction with improvisation, that is, not only as an interpretation of other people's musical ideas in performing activities but also as an interpretation of personal artistic intentions in the process of musicians' activity. Conclusions. The interaction of interpretation and improvisation is clearly traced, since interpretation is an aspect of musical practice that proceeds from the differences between the recorded music notation and the live performance of the work. Consequently, this process inherent element of unpredictability. The interrelation of the interpretation of the musical text and the mastery of the improvisatory demonstration of this text by the interpreter, which is determined by his individual qualities, is traced.
C. Orff. stage cantata «Carmina Burana»: grotesque as a means of creating an artistic image of the Fried Swan
Authors: Tyshchenko Mykhailo
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to analyze the image of the Fried Swan from the stage cantata of Carl Orff "Carmina Burana" through the category of grotesque - the worldview principle in the culture of the Middle Ages and one of the leading types of artistic imagery in art nouveau. The paper reviews literary and musicological research on the grotesque as an aesthetic category and its application as a method of revealing the artistic image. What is being analyzed: the aesthetics of vagrant poetry, which is the basis of the libretto of Karl Orff's stage cantata; traditions of interpretation of the image of a swan in mythology, folk culture, folklore of different peoples of Europe, Christianity, literature of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the New Age, in particular in Romanticism, as well as in the fine arts; features of Latin poetry in general and "Swan Song" from the poetry of vagrants in particular; application of alliteration; a variant of translation into Ukrainian is provided, which is intended for a more accurate understanding of the essence of the image, reveals its new facets and is addressed to the performers of the Fried Swan part in the preparatory period of work on the image, as well as listeners. The image of the Fried Swan is the embodiment of "grotesque realism" (A. Gurevich) of the Middle Ages. The methodology is based on the application of a holistic musicological analysis, which includes philosophical-aesthetic, literary-linguistic and musical-theoretical levels. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the application of the grotesque as a philosophical and aesthetic category for studying, in particular, one of the most original images of K. Orff's work and the concept of modern musical theater in general. Therefore, the artistic and aesthetic interpretation of the figurative sphere of the cantata is considered relevant, and this work is the first such attempt in Ukrainian musicology. Conclusions. The image of the Fried Swan embodies the grotesque, in which the high and the low, the believable and the unreal, the tragic and the comic, coexist. It reflects the mentality of the Middle Ages as a unity of antinomies and at the same time possesses the characteristic features of the culture of art nouveau, where the grotesque is a typical tool for perceiving reality. The image of the Fried Swan can be considered as a kind of "key" for understanding two "artistic mentality" at once - of the Middle Ages and of the Art Nouveau.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to explore the historical aspects of monologue stage speech as the most difficult type of psychophysical action of the actor. The research methodology involves the use of an integrated approach with the use of analytical, systematic methods, comparative, which allows to distinguish the features of monologue stage speech in the work of the actor. The scientific novelty of the work is to deepen the study of individual acting in the context of the development of monologue speech and analysis of historical aspects of its formation and development in acting. Conclusions. It is emphasized that the masterful performance of monologues from a classical or modern play is a manifestation of the professional creative growth of the actor. Historical digression and research of methods of work on the monologue is an extremely important and useful source of obtaining the right techniques, principles, skills, a way to acquire professional knowledge of monologue stage speech. Text notes of extended monologue speech (if such are sometimes permissible) should be made carefully, carefully, together with the director-producer. It is noted that to master verbal action, its expressive possibilities is the main task, which is always faced by actors and directors of professional and amateur theaters.

Published: December 2021

modern theatrical art and to reveal the features of the phenomenal and semiotic body of the performer in theater performances without an actor. Research methodology. A synergetic method is applied, due to which the essence of the dichotomy of the phenomenal and semiotic body of the performer and the mechanism of its transformation in the process of transition from traditional theater to the theater without an actor is considered; a systemic method for analyzing the phenomenal and semiotic body of the performer as a manifestation of integrity in the unity of all connections and relationships; the method of comparative analysis, which contributed to the comparison of the ways of perception and understanding by the spectator of the semantic content of the stage performance in the traditional, puppet theater and theater without an actor, etc. Scientific novelty. The problems of theater without an actor are considered in the context of the theory of body dichotomy by B.S. Turner and the model of the alternation of the phenomenal and semiotic body of the performer in the post-dramatic theater E. Fischer-Lichte; the absence of actors as traditional components of the stage production of the play is theoretically substantiated; it was found that, despite the absence of performers, a theater without an actor is a unique phenomenon of modern theatrical art, realized due to the dichotomy of the phenomenal-semiotic nature of the actor's corporeality. Conclusions. The study revealed that the dichotomy of the phenomenal and semiotic body of an actor is a meaningful tool for studying the interpretation of various types of modern theater. Based on the analysis of theater performances without an actor ("Feng Shui in a theater without an actor" B. Bulatovic, A. Mustar and J. Šimenc, Slovenia, Ljubljana, Cultural Center "Španski borci", 2011, etc.) it was found that in the absence of the phenomenal body of the actor in the stage action, scenography and props become the material vehicle of the semiotic body. Destroying traditions and moving away from the "actor - spectator" attitude, depriving the viewer of an actor of a person, theatrical figures strive for contemplation, open new horizons for the theater, which can cause unusual sensations and feelings.

The application of these methods made it possible to substantiate the method of postulate extrapolation of documental information in the blogosphere, to choose and justify the empirical basis for the application of the method. The visualization method was used to present the results of the study. The scientific novelty of the work is proposing and justifying the method of postulate extrapolation of documental information in the blogosphere. Conclusions. Based on the tools of semantic analysis of media content and social networks, a special method of documental information research are being developed. The method of postulate extrapolation of documental information in the blogosphere allows establishing the correlation of one or more features of the bloggers’ world (professional, educational,gender) with the parameters of their posting (publishing activity, topics of posts, feedback). This will make it possible to formulate a reasonable statement. Formalization of links between subjects in the system «picture of the world of bloggers - content» in the form of the synergetic paradigm of information interaction gives the chance to identify authorship of content on a professional basis or other sign, to use technologies of management of information flows, and also to predict trends of influence of blogging of various social groups on public consciousness, the level of critical thinking and critical perception of reality.Key words: blogosphere, blog, blogger, posting, postulate extrapolation, documental information.
COHERENCE OF THEORIES OF BIBLIOPSYCHOLOGY OF M. RUBAKIN, INFORMATION METABOLISM OF A. KEMPINSKI
Authors: Demchuk Natalia
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article. To advance arguments for the coherence of the fundamental concepts in the theories of bibliopsychology by Mykola Rubakin and information metabolism of Anthony Kempinski and therefore to justify the feasibility of complex-systemic use of these theories to stipulate the latest holistic epistemological doctrine. The methodology of the research implies the application of general scientific and special methods, namely: conceptual logical-notional analysis and synthesis on the basis of analytical-synthetic processing of information; logical and system approaches based on the comparative method. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the actualization of the theories by M. Rubakin, A. Kempinski through positioning them as coherent, in particular, by establishing relationships between them at the level of individual aspects of the creation and functioning of terminology, basic conceptual elements and postulates of a holistic independent system as correlates; hence it aims at expanding ideas about the importance of these concepts for the formation of the latest disciplinary matrix of the system of social communications, modernization of higher library-informationeducation, improving the practical activities of information and library sphere. The phenomenon of coherence in the system of modern scientific discourse is presented as a promising methodological concept used by various scientific communities, given the current trend towards complex systemic interdisciplinary research. Conclusions. The comparative analysis of the theories of bibliopsychology and information metabolism has proved their coherence at the level of original term compounds and fundamental concepts. Moreover, the study established the prospects and feasibility of individual special studies aiming at systematization and synthesis, which will ensure the future integration of other related concepts and theories, as well as create a general synergy effect in the study of cognitive theory.Key words: bibliopsychology, information metabolism, coherence, utilization of bibliopsychological values, mnemonics.
Un nuevo índice de tasa de cambio real para Colombia: Ajuste por competencia en terceros mercados
Authors: Cote-Barón Juan Pablo , Cristiano-Botia Deicy J. , Hernández-Montes María Alejandra
Published: December 2021

En este documento se propone un nuevo índice de tasa de cambio real para Colombia, que incluye dentro de las ponderaciones de cada país un ajuste por su competencia en terceros mercados. Se utilizan datos de comercio a 3 dígitos de la Clasificación Uniforme para el Comercio Internacional (CUCI) de 39 países con frecuencia anual. Los resultados sugieren diferencias importantes respecto al índice ponderado únicamente por comercio bilateral, que es el calculado y publicado actualmente. En particular, las ponderaciones de Estados Unidos y China son significativamente menores en el indicador propuesto, y por grupos de países Latinoamérica y el Caribe tienen elmayor peso. El nuevo índice presenta unamayor depreciación en el periodo de análisis, 2007-2021. Adicionalmente, se calculan índices ponderados por cada uno de los componentes de la nueva ponderación, y se encuentra que el índice de la competencia en terceros mercados se distancia considerablemente del índice de competitividad actualmente calculado, sugiriendo una menor competitividad de Colombia.
Quality of life: The Quality of life of older Pakistanis with Mild Dementia
Authors: Eman Saima
Published: December 2021

Since dementia is a progressive terminal clinical syndrome with no cure, the life of persons with dementia (PwD) can be adversely affected. Due to limited access to healthcare and lack of awareness in Pakistan, a majority of older adults do not get screened for dementia. The objective of the current study was to examine the problems and the Quality of Life (QoL) of underprivileged older adults with undiagnosed mild dementia in the Pakistani context. Using purposive sampling and case study design, 3 participants with apparent symptoms (verified by 8 researchers) of dementia from a low-income group in Lahore, Pakistan were observed and interviewed. Thematic analysis revealed sense of loss and alienation as one of the dominant themes. Implications are discussed.
Attachment, deadness, desire, and addictive buzz traps
Authors: Music Graham
Published: December 2021

In this article I describe those caught up in an increasingly common but worrying phenomenon, that of addictive states of mind, seen, for example, in obsessional use of video games or pornography. While the contemporary world has exacerbated the risks, addictive traits often originate in attempts to escape from an inner pain or deadness towards the false promise offered by the object of addiction. The article offers a different view of the dopaminergic system. It also looks at how the contemporary world is posing new challenges for people who have developed with such a propensity, and we will see how those prone to addictive states of mind struggle to bear certain emotional states, finding them overwhelming, and instead reach for a solution via their addiction.

A method is presented for determining the density of soil in the ridge from the simultaneous action of spherical disks and a conical roller wheel. Heuristic and technical analysis of the process of forming soil ridges by rollers made it possible to conclude with a 90 % reliability that the main factorsб which significantly affect the quality of soil ridge formation, are the angle of attack of spherical discs (α = 10°), the speed of the roller (vс = 5.4 km / h) and the compression force of its spring (Fspr. = 180 N).

Theoretical studies of the operation of a device for pickling and moving bulk materials are discussed. A particular analysis of the Lagrange equation for the motion of a particle in a spiral-helical device is described. The images are presented with all forces and velocity vectors acting on a particle from the side of the spiral screw and the inner surface of the device body during its movement. The expression for the angle θ, which characterizes the geometric parameters of the spiral and cylindrical body, as well as the size of the material particles in the device, has been investigated and transformed.
