Spain in the Period of World Financial Crisis
Authors: Anikeeva N. E.
Published: August 2021

В настоящее время Испания столкнулась с серьезным препятствием - финансовым кризисом, начавшимся в США. На экономике Испании кризис уже отразился более глубоко, чем на ведущих партнерах по ЕС. Ощутимо увеличилась безработица. Особенно негативное влияние на экономику оказывает спад, наступивший в строительном секторе. Ожидания испанского правительства в отношении результатов апрельского саммита «Большой двадцатки», который состоялся в 2009 г. в Лондоне, в целом оправдались. Несмотря на кризис, большой интерес представляет расширение сотрудничества испанского государства и России как в двустороннем формате, так и в рамках международных организаций. Свидетельством этому могут служить итоги первого государственного визита Президента РФ Д. А. Медведева в Мадрид, который проходил 3-4 марта 2009 г.

Authors: Khukhuni G. T. , Valuitseva I. I.
Published: August 2021

The present article deals with the problem of the retranslation of the Bible in Christian tradition. The difference between Roman Catholic Church, Russian Orthodox Church and Protestant Churches is analyzed. Three main tendencies are postulated: 1) the return to the «right» text on sacred language and «purification» of the existing version; 2) striving for «modernization» – the transition from the traditional sacred language to the modern one; 3) the contamination of both tendencies, when the Bible is represented on «non-sacred» language, but the text is most archaized.
The Risks of the would be Modernization of the Country: Sociologists-Riskologists are Required.
Authors: Kravchenko S. A.
Published: August 2021

In the article the potential risks are discussed in connection with the programme of modernization put forward by the President of Russia D. A. Medvedev. The author argues that modern risk challenges are mainly due to the ambivalence of the process of innovations taking place in the development of science and technologists: their results are not only expected brining the wealth to people but some of them contain unanticipated consequences with new dangers. The problem of innovative approaches to the national security is analyzed in connection with new possibilities of risk management. The author also states that it is possible to overcome these risk challenges only developing creative humanistic thinking and conducting the preparation of specialists that are sociologists-riskologists and risk-managers.

Nevertheless this is hardly a research issue for Russian scholars. The article is an attempt to take a closer look on design and behavior of principal channels and institutions, employed by American scholars and experts for participation in shaping national foreign policy.
Automated Event-Triggered GUI Testing and Bug Reproduction for NonAndroid Applications
Authors: Anit Thomas M  , Chinchu Krishna S
Published: August 2021

Today’s mobile gadgets are seamlessly incorporating innovative features demanded by the users.Most often, the applications contain bugs or functionality issues reported by the customers. Thedevelopers are responsible for reproducing such reported bugs, which are written in naturallanguages. Reproducing bugs from bug reports make the bug resolution inefficient. Nowadays,various methods are adopted to reproduce crash reports for android applications. But bugreproduction for non-android applications is still a challenging task. This paper proposes a novelapproach that is capable of doing bug reproduction from bug reports to help the developers to solvethe functionality issues of non-android applications in an automated manner. This approach uses aUI tester called the GUI engine, which is an excel sheet. The use cases which are to be tested canbe filled in the GUI engine. All the use cases are to be filled based on a particular syntax. For thatpurpose, the developer can make use of a set of yaml files containing all the GUI information forall the screens of the application under test. The use cases are executed in the GUI engine andconclusions are made based on the test result. The GUI engine displays two colors green and redshowing the working and failing of GUI components of the application under test. So that thedeveloper can easily identify the failing components and take actions accordingly. The test hasbeen done with more than 1000 test cases for one region and the result shows that almost all GUIcomponents work for this method except for animation. It has tested for software developed forUS, Europe, and German regions. Also, the proposed method is found to be much faster andefficient than the existing as well as manual testing methods.

Icônico ou arbitrário? Motivado ou imotivado? Diferentes tipos de motivação em sinais da Libras
Authors: Medeiros Davi Vieira , Rodero-Takahira Aline Garcia
Published: August 2021

Autores como Klima e Bellugi (1979), Ferreira-Brito (1995), Taub (2001), Wilcox (2004) e Xavier (2006) consideram que a iconicidade está significativamente presente nas línguas de sinais (LSs). Neste artigo, (re)discutimos e problematizamos as noções de arbitrariedade e de iconicidade nas LSs, especificamente na Libras. Para isso, fizemos uma revisão na literatura, a fim de verificar como esses conceitos vêm sendo abordados em LSs, e analisamos os sinais glosados no dicionário de Capovilla et al. (2017) com palavras iniciadas pela letra “A”, visando identificar as possíveis motivações que eles apresentam. De modo geral, assumimos que a arbitrariedade e a iconicidade não são noções opostas, nem sequer de mesma ordem; que os conceitos de arbitrariedade e de imotivação, por um lado, e de iconicidade e de motivação, por outro lado, não são sinônimos (KLIMA; BELLUGI, 1979; FRYDRYCH, 2012); e apontamos que os sinais da Libras são altamente motivados, apresentando, na maioria das vezes, mais de um tipo de motivação. A partir das análises, identificamos e categorizamos motivações de seis tipos, baseadas em: (1) classificadores, (2) gestualidade, (3) espacialidade, (4) empréstimo linguístico do português, (5) expressão não manual, e (6) movimento. A partir dessa categorização, observamos que um mesmo item lexical pode apresentar mais de um tipo de motivação e que nem todo tipo de motivação confere iconicidade ao signo linguístico. Concluímos o trabalho apresentando uma proposta de continuum de gradação que envolve desde sinais menos icônicos a sinais mais icônicos

Authors: Vital Flávia Maria Ribeiro , Martins Camila Bertini
Published: August 2021

Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência e gravidade da síndrome do imobilismo (SI) e sua associação com sintomatologias, eventos adversos e perdas funcionais em pacientes com câncer internados. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal analítico em pacientes internados em instituição terciária de oncologia. Como ferramentas de análises dos desfechos propostos utilizou-se a classificação de gravidade da SI, a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), o Pictograma de fadiga (PF) e a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade (CIF). O nível de significância utilizado nas análises de associação das variáveis foi de 5%. Resultados: A prevalência da SI em pacientes com câncer internados foi de 52% [0,44; 0,60] e 15% [0,09; 0,58] para SI clinicamente relevante. A SI demonstrou associação significativa com fraqueza muscular (OR=5,17;IC95%=[1,93;14,60]), alta intensidade de estresse (OR=5,5; IC95% [1,96;17,50]) e fadiga de moderada (OR=3,56;IC95%[1,57;8,58]) e alta intensidade (OR=7,75;IC95%=[1,92; 52,20]). A gravidade progressiva da SI se correlacionou com a progressiva intensidade de fadiga e estresse pela EVA, intensidade e impacto da fadiga nas atividades diárias pelo PF e, também, na capacidade funcional pela CIF. Conclusão: A SI tem uma prevalência significativa em pacientes com câncer internados e sua presença e gravidade se correlacionam com fadiga, estresse e perdas funcionais.
Diffuse vertebral metastases from glioblastoma with vertebroepidural diffusion: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Colamaria Antonio , Blagia Maria , Sacco Matteo , Carbone Francesco
Published: August 2021

Background:

The occurrence of extraneural metastasis in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) is rare with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.4% to 2.0%. Short clinical history is believed to be a possible explanation of the paucity of such cases. Furthermore, to date, only few papers describe cases of vertebral metastases from GBM without evidence of synchronous visceral involvement.

Case Description:

The authors report on the case of a 46-year-old woman presenting with a history of surgically treated GBM who developed multiple metastases located in the posterior laminae and vertebral bodies with a single dural metastasis at D6-D8 level 5 years after the initial diagnosis. Total-body computed tomography did not show signs of either intracranial recurrence or visceral involvement. Postoperative pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of the World Health Organization-2016 Grade IV GBM metastases.

Conclusion:

From a clinical point of view, the awareness of the possibility of spinal and vertebral metastasis from intracranial GBM is crucial. The present case demonstrates that distant dissemination from the primary tumor is possible despite the absence of intracranial recurrence.

Optimization of the trimming tilting angle of the electric tiltrotor propeller group
Authors: Busurin V. I. , Mulin P. V.
Published: August 2021

The paper examined the possibility of improving the energy efficient performance of an electric tiltrotor with a lift-propulsion propeller group for a steady flight mode by reducing the energy consumption of the propeller group per unit of time or per unit of the path traveled by the electric tiltrotor. This is achieved by selecting the optimal tilting angles of the electric tiltrotor total thrust vector. In the proposed approach, the trimming tilting angle of the propeller group is variable, depending on the aerodynamic characteristics of the electric tiltrotor, its propeller group. Since the propeller group is equipped with the drives for tilting them, this approach is easily implemented by the conventional facilities of the electric tiltrotor. The tilting of the total thrust vector, on the one hand, leads to an increase in the effective value of the aerodynamic lift coefficient and, on the other hand, it is accompanied by a decrease in the projection of the total thrust vector on the flight speed vector, a change in the drag and power required to create the thrust of the propeller group. This circumstance makes it necessary to solve the optimization problem in order to increase the maximum endurance and long-range capabilities in the cruise mode of the electric tiltrotor flight. The paper presents a method for calculating the optimal tilting angles of the total thrust vector based on the equations of steady motion of the electric tiltrotor in the cruise flight mode, the expression for the total power required for the rotation of the propellers of the propeller group. The analytical dependences for the optimal tilting angles of the total thrust vector are obtained depending on the ratio of the wing area to the total propeller-disk area of the propeller group and the aerodynamic quality of the electric tiltrotor.
Reaction of the preloaded rotation shell with the rigid nose part of the apparatus to a shock wave in the liquid

The article investigates the problem of hydro-elastic interaction of a weak shock wave with a rigid nosed rotation shell preloaded with axial forces. The shell is enclosed in a rigid parabolic screen, i.e. the impact of the end face and the shock wave diffraction are not considered. Liquid is regarded to be perfectly compressible. Its applied summing hydrodynamic pressure during complex interaction with the shell surface can be classified into the incident, reflected and radiated waves. The problem of hydro-elastic interaction of these shock fronts with a preloaded parabolic rigid nosed shell in a related setting is reduced to the solution of the wave equations of nonlinear system of equations for shell motion under particular initial and boundary conditions, in which the dimensionless displacement of this nose section under the impact of hydrodynamic forces is determined by integrating its motion equation. The equations, describing the dependences of nose section displacements on shock wave interaction time, take into account generalized hydrodynamic forces, including the second category directly related to the mass of the attached fluid. Determination of stress-strain state in case of interaction with the shock wave in the liquid of elastic rotation paraboloid in the form of the shell containing a rigid insertion in the nose section is reduced to the solution of a nonlinear equations system of shell motion considering the boundary conditions along fastenings at the end face of the shell and interface conditions of the shell and insertion. Dimensionless displacements of the nose section caused by hydrodynamic forces are defined by integrating the equations of motion under the initial conditions along insertion offsets in the axial directions.

Announcement board in the city is somehow disturbing because of the illogical linguistic rules therefore it does not support the development of the smart city.The banned boards are indicated to have less educative meaning because they contain elements of swearing, diatribe, bad prayer, and spelling and writing errors. The role of the government in this matter that is responsible for making writing standards and the contents of prohibition boards and notice boards must be in line with the standard rules of language. Therefore, the researcher wants to collaborate with the City Planning Office, which in this case is responsible for arranging the prohibition and announcement boards in the municipal, regency, and sub-district cities in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Therefore, the view of Sociology studies is needed to recommend the concept of an ecology city based on smart city. The research method used is mixed method, namely qualitative research conducted  by interviewing the local community and quantitative research by conducting a questionnaire and counting the prohibition boards and announcements that are indicated not in accordance with the language rules.

Abstract

 

Air pollution is a process that causes changes in the composition of air from normal conditions, resulting in changes in air temperature. Air pollution is not only bad for health, but also has a negative impact on the environment. Currently, the Indonesian Railways Polytechnic has an Inspection Train which is not equipped with a device capable of reducing exhaust emissions. In this study, a particulate reducer was designed to reduce exhaust emissions on the Inspection Train. Furthermore, the design results were tested on the Inspection train, using 3 types of diesel fuel, namely Pertamina Dex, Dexlite, and Biosolar. This study shows that the particulate reducer designed in this study can significantly reduce emissions, namely 23.9% for Pertamina Dex fuel, 17.9% for Dexlite fuel, and 10.6% for Biosolar fuel.

 

Keywords: particulate reducer; air pollution; air temperature; diesel fuel.

Abstract

 

After more than 3 months of implementing mobility restrictions, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the Indonesian Government will ease these restrictions towards the New Normal period. With these changes, the question arises about how the activity-travel in the New Normal period will be. This study aims to understand the effect of changing experiences during a pandemic on individual intentions in changing travel patterns and online activities during the New Normal period. The results of distributing questionnaires, which were conducted online, were used to support the analysis carried out. This study shows that there is a reduction in the frequency of trips and activities during the pandemic and there is an intention to make adjustments to the number of travel and activities during the New Normal period. An increase in travel activity was found among young travelers and workers. The adaptation of electronic devices during the pandemic has a positive effect on the intention of online activities during the New Normal, so that it has the potential to increase online activities continuously after the New Normal period.

Assessing the Applicability of Three Approaches to Design-Oriented Research
Authors: Zhou Jing , Kueh Christopher , Lin Yi
Published: August 2021

The three main approaches in inquisitive research design are qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods [1]. However, recent developments in the research field have resulted in multiple other approaches, borrowing ideas from a broad range of fields. One such approach is the practice-led approach. This approach involves an efficient design process, novel qualitative interviewing methods, together with data mining procedures from quantitative data collection [2]. This paper assesses the practice-led approach used in user experience (UX) design, together with three approaches: co-design, service design, and reflective practice.

As one of the core aspects and basic unit in language, vocabulary plays a salient role in improving student’s language ability. Besides, vocabulary learning strategies play an obviously important part in the whole process of language learning. By examining the theories and approach to the vocabulary test, found by linguists locally and abroad, as well as vocabulary learning strategies, this research tries to systematically explicate several vocabulary tests in order to help English teachers design more creditable vocabulary tests to evaluate student’s vocabulary knowledge. At the same time, in hope that through this research, middle school students would be guided to use English vocabulary learning strategies more efficiently, thus enhancing their self-learning ability.
