For the Better Protection of Wetland Resources: Net Value of Ecosystem Services after Protective Development of Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou, China
Authors: Zhang Shanfeng , Cheng Zhengjun , Liang Wenfeng , Ding Liang
Published: March 2023

Wetlands are valuable urban resources and can provide various ecosystem services for cities. In order to face the continuous urbanization and market economy environment, relevant government-related management, decision-makers, and stakeholders can make objective and comprehensive value judgments and decide the fate of urban wetland resources. Our quantitative approach to the ecosystem services value provided by wetlands produced clear, direct, and persuasive monetization data. The assessment of the net value of ecosystem services (NES) provides one such method. Considering the transition of the Xixi Wetland into the Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou as an example, we first determined the calculation model of its NES. Second, we utilized the equivalent factor, contingent valuation, travel cost, and benefit transfer methods to calculate its value of ecosystem services (VES), service cost, and NES. The results are shown below. In 2016, the VES of Xixi Wetland park was RMB 16.973 billion, NES was RMB 16.938 billion, and service cost was RMB 34.8158 million. The value of cultural services was the main contributor to NES, which accounted for 99.27% of the total. Real estate appreciation, cultural heritage, and recreational value were the main contributors to its cultural service value. Third, through the scenario comparison, we concluded that the NES of the protective development model (the wetland park mode) adopted by Xixi Wetland was RMB 3.186 billion more than that of the protection model. In other words, the protective development model is more practical and sustainable for protecting the Xixi Wetland. Finally, the limitations and shortcomings of the study are summarized.
Clifford Odd and Even Objects in Even and Odd Dimensional Spaces Describing Internal Spaces of Fermion and Boson Fields
Authors: Borštnik Norma Susana Mankoč
Published: March 2023

In a long series of works, it has been demonstrated that the spin-charge-family theory, assuming a simple starting action in even dimensional spaces with d≥(13+1), with massless fermions interacting with gravity only, offers the explanation for all assumed properties of the second quantized fermion and boson fields in the standard model, as well as offering predictions and explanations for several of the observed phenomena. The description of the internal spaces of the fermion and boson fields by the Clifford odd and even objects, respectively, justifies the choice of the simple starting action of the spin-charge-family theory. The main topic of the present article is the analysis of the properties of the internal spaces of the fermion and boson fields in odd dimensional spaces, d=(2n+1), which can again be described by the Clifford odd and even objects, respectively. It turns out that the properties of fermion and boson fields differ essentially from their properties in even dimensional spaces, resembling the ghosts needed when looking for final solutions with Feynman diagrams.

Shrimp aquaculture, especially during the hatchery phase, is prone to economic losses due to infections caused by luminescent vibrios. In the wake of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria and the food safety requirements of farmed shrimp, aqua culturists are seeking alternatives to antibiotics for shrimp health management, and bacteriophages are fast emerging as natural and bacteria-specific antimicrobial agents. This study analyzed the whole genome of vibriophage-ϕLV6 that showed lytic activity against six luminescent vibrios isolated from the larval tanks of P. vannamei shrimp hatcheries. The Vibriophage-ϕLV6 genome was 79,862 bp long with 48% G+C content and 107 ORFs that coded for 31 predicted protein functions, 75 hypothetical proteins, and a tRNA. Pertinently, the vibriophage-ϕLV6 genome harbored neither AMR determinants nor virulence genes, indicating its suitability for phage therapy. There is a paucity of whole genome-based information on vibriophages that lyse luminescent vibrios, and this study adds pertinent data to the database of V. harveyi infecting phage genomes and, to our knowledge, is the first vibriophage genome report from India. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of vibriophage-ϕLV6 revealed an icosahedral head (~73 nm) and a long, flexible tail (~191 nm) suggesting siphovirus morphology. The vibriophage-ϕLV6 phage at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 80 inhibited the growth of luminescent V. harveyi at 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, and 3% salt gradients. In vivo experiments conducted with post-larvae of shrimp showed that vibriophage-ϕLV6 reduced luminescent vibrio counts and post-larval mortalities in the phage-treated tank compared to the bacteria-challenged tank, suggesting the potentiality of vibriophage-ϕLV6 as a promising candidate in treating luminescent vibriosis in shrimp aquaculture. The vibriophage-ϕLV6 survived for 30 days in salt (NaCl) concentrations ranging from 5 ppt to 50 ppt and was stable at 4 °C for 12 months.
Development and Validation of a New DIVA Real-Time PCR Allowing to Differentiate Wild-Type Lumpy Skin Disease Virus Strains, Including the Asian Recombinant Strains, from Neethling-Based Vaccine Strains
Authors: Haegeman Andy , De Leeuw Ilse , Philips Wannes , De Regge Nick
Published: March 2023

The current epidemic in Asia, driven by LSDV recombinants, poses difficulties to existing DIVA PCR tests, as these do not differentiate between homologous vaccine strains and the recombinant strains. We, therefore, developed and validated a new duplex real-time PCR capable of differentiating Neethling-based vaccine strains from classical and recombinant wild-type strains that are currently circulating in Asia. The DIVA potential of this new assay, seen in the in silico evaluation, was confirmed on samples from LSDV infected and vaccinated animals and on isolates of LSDV recombinants (n = 12), vaccine (n = 5), and classic wild-type strains (n = 6). No cross-reactivity or a-specificity with other capripox viruses was observed under field conditions in non-capripox viral stocks and negative animals. The high analytical sensitivity is translated into a high diagnostic specificity as more than 70 samples were all correctly detected with Ct values very similar to those of a published first-line pan capripox real-time PCR. Finally, the low inter- and intra-run variability observed shows that the new DIVA PCR is very robust which facilitates its implementation in the lab. All validation parameters that are mentioned above indicate the potential of the newly developed test as a promising diagnostic tool which could help to control the current LSDV epidemic in Asia.

Fish introduction into fishless high-altitude lakes has detrimental effects on biodiversity. Removal of alien fish through intensive fishing is cost-intensive and difficult to achieve in productive lakes. Lake Sulzkarsee is the only lake in the National Park Gesäuse, Austria, and was an important breeding site for amphibians until the lake was stocked with fish in the late 1970s. Salmonids were eradicated in 2005, but the lake remained degraded by the introduced minnows (Phoxinus sp.). In 2018, the lake was drained through a siphon pipe and then by pumping out water with dirt water pumps. The deepest part was treated with slaked lime, but several hundred adult minnows survived in sediment crevices and reproduced in the following season. After drainage, the phytoplankton biomass increased. Indicator species, such as Daphnia longispina and amphibians, showed signs of recovery, but they went back to an impacted state when minnows recovered after the failed eradication attempt. Purse seines proved to be the most efficient gear to catch minnows. These results indicate that deep mountain lakes are difficult to drain efficiently. Sediment treatment is required to eliminate all fish.

Published: March 2023

Мета: Провести порівняльний аналіз   змагальної діяльності переможців та українських борців, учасників чемпіонату Світу 2017 року. Матеріал: Проведено аналіз 102 змагальних поєдинків, чемпіонату Світу 2017 року, вивчені особливості застосування  техніко-тактичних дій, які виконали спортсмени. Для визначення особливостей змагальної діяльності кваліфікованих спортсменів використовувались методики: аналіз відео матеріалів змагальних поєдинків чемпіонату Світу, статистична обробка математичних даних, педагогічні спостереження. Результати: Виявлено, що переможці змагань ведуть активну потужну боротьбу, мають кращі швидкісні якості,  вміють швидко перебудовуватися в ході поєдинку. Для результативної реалізації прийомів в сучасній боротьбі необхідно  збільшувати  кількість підготовчих дій, вести активну боротьбу за захват та кращу позицію, враховувати при їх виконанні вимоги та особливості правил змагань. Відсутність стандартних положень значно зменшило технічний арсенал застосування саме прийомів греко-римської боротьби та збільшило вимоги щодо техніко-тактичної та функціональної підготовки. Висновки. Виявлено, що світові лідери сучасної греко-римської боротьби вміло адаптувались до вимог правил змагань та вдало застосовують свій технічний арсенал, враховуючи їх особливості. Відсутність стандартних положень під час поєдинку потребує більш активної боротьби за захват і кращу позицію,  збільшення кількості підготовчих техніко-тактичних дій,  швидкісного та потужного виконання з урахуванням особливостей діючих правил змагань. Підготовка кваліфікованих борців греко-римського стилю в подальшому повинна відбуватись з урахуванням  універсалізації тактики, індивідуальності техніки, що в свою чергу потребує  підвищення рівня загальної та спеціальної фізичної підготовленості. Отримані дані спонукають до необхідності корегування та удосконалення процесу підготовки українських борців.

Authors: Mishko V.V.
Published: March 2023

Мета: вивчити залежність між рівнем прояву когнітивних здібностей та успішністю у юних танцюристів. Матеріал: Обстежено 24 спортсмена, які спеціалізуються у спортивних танцях, віком 15-16 років. Когнітивні здібності досліджувались за тестами на сприйняття, переробку та прийняття рішень щодо вербальних подразників – «встановлення закономірностей» та невербальних подразників – «порівняння чисел». Успішність у спортивних танцях оцінювалась за п’ятьма міжнародними критеріями. Використовувалася статистична обробка математичних даних, педагогічні спостереження. Результати: Встановлено, що успішність у спортивних танцях обумовлюється високим рівнем прояву когнітивних функцій: уваги, швидкості зорового сприйняття та підвищення рівня оперативного і логічного мислення при переробці вербальної інформації. Висока ефективність при переробці подразників у вербальному тесті в успішних спортсменів, порівняно із іншою групою, свідчить про високий рівень якісних характеристик психічних функцій сприйняття, переробки інформації та прийняття рішень. При цьому, у успішних спортсменів за рахунок зростання швидкості переробки інформації погіршується увага, що відображається у зниженні рівня ефективності та стабільності при виконання тесту на переробку невербальної інформації. Висновки: Прояв успішності у спортивних танцях пов’язаний із рівнем розвитку когнітивних функцій: уваги, вербального сприйняття та оперативного і логічного мислення. У групі більш успішних спортсменів виявлено перевагу швидкісних характеристик реагування у когнітивному тесті на невербальну інформацію. Одночасно, у групі спортсменів із зниженою успішністю у спортивних танцях кращими виявляються якісні характеристики сприйняття, аналізу та прийняття рішень при переробці невербальної інформації.

Published: March 2023

Hacı Bektaş Velî, one of Ahmed Yesevî's Anatolian saints, migrated from Nishapur and settled in today's Hacı Bektaş district. He founded Kızılca Halvet, that is Çilehane, and after his death he was buried next to Çilehane and a tomb was built on it. The tomb structure, which is the center and part of the complex, is located opposite the entrance door of the Hazrat Courtyard, which is the third courtyard of the lodge. Although it is not known when the tomb was built, it is dated to the 15th century. When the dervish lodge and lodge were closed during the Republican period, the kulliye was closed in 1925. After serving as an Agricultural School for a while, it was restored with the 1925 letter of the Ministry of National Education and opened as a museum. It conforms to the original structure numbered 22 May 1964 and 1935. It was arranged in accordance with the original in the repairs made between 1950-1960. Although there is information about Bektashism and Hacı Bektaş Velî in our sources, there is no explanatory information about the historical and artistic features of the tomb and the painted decorations. When we examine the painted ornament patterns that we can see in a renovated state today, it is seen that they belong to the 15th century. At the end of the century, perhaps at the beginning of the 16th century, II. We can see the traces of decoration art of Bâyezid period.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESEARCH ABOUT AḤMAD AL-YASAWĪ
Authors: SAİFUNOV BAUYRZHAN , SAMBETOV ZHANBOLAT
Published: March 2023

Scientific studies on the legacy of Hodja Aḥmad al-Yasawī (d.562/1166) started with the research of Fuad Köprülü (1890-1966) in the 20th century. Despite many important studies on al-Yasawī and his legacy, it is noteworthy that some important issues related to Aḥmad al-Yasawī’s personality are neglected. There is no clear information about Aḥmad al-Yasawī's date of birth. However, there is definite information about the date of death of al-Yasawī and how long he lived in the pedigree writings. Based on this information, it is possible to determine the year of birth of Hodja Aḥmad. In addition, the idea of whether Yūsuf al-Hamadānī (d. 535/1140) was al-Yasawī's teacher is open to discussion if some medieval sources are consulted. For this reason, we found it appropriate to examine Aḥmad al-Yasawī's year of birth and his scientific personality. In the article, the birth and death years of Aḥmad al-Yasawī were tried to be determined from primary sources, especially family trees. Later, the issue of whether Yūsuf al-Hamadānī was Aḥmad al-Yasawī’s teacher was also examined by comparing the views of the mentioned personalities in their own works. By constantly considering the human factor, the conditions under which al-Hamadānī was associated with Aḥmad al-Yasawī’s teaching were examined with a descriptive method within the understanding of impartiality. In addition, deepening and comparative analysis methods were used on individuals during the study. Some determinations and evaluations were made about Aḥmad al-Yasawī's bibliography and his teachers. Keywords: Aḥmad al-Yasawī, Pedigree, Yasawiyya, Naqshibandiyya, Yūsuf al-Hamadānī.

This study aimed to examine the ethno-religious situation of Bektashi, Qizilbash and Alevis in Bulgaria after Bulgaria's accession to the European Union, in the example of Alvanlar village (Yablanovo) in Sliven province. It was investigated in the example of Bektashi, Kizilbash, Alevis Alvans (Yablanovo) village in Bulgaria. After a period of ten years, a new research on the village of Alvanlar has been made and the change that has occurred has been followed. Especially after the Republic of Bulgaria's transition to democracy and accession to the European Union, the practices against the Turks, who are among the minorities in Bulgaria, and the developments regarding the non-fulfillment of the cultural rights demands of the Bektashi, Qizilbash and Alevis, who constitute a considerable number among the Turks, have been monitored. After the article gives information about the importance and method of the research, the village of Alvanlar in Bulgarias Sliven Province is briefly introduced. Secondly, information is given about Alevism-Bektashism in Bulgaria, whose history goes back to the pre-Ottoman era. The history of the village of Alvanlar in the province of Sliven, Bulgaria, and the religious and national practices and difficulties faced by the Bektashi, Qizilbash, Alevis of the Alvanlar village are included. Especially in the socialist period of Bulgaria, the center of the struggle, which resisted the systematic oppression and assimilation policy against the Turkish and Muslim people, is the village of Alvanlar/Yablanovo. In this respect, the village of Alvanlar/Yablanovo is an important settlement in Bulgaria both in the transition to democracy and in the preservation of the Turkish-Muslim identity. It is also the center of Ali Koç Baba, his children and Ali Koç Babas Ojak, who both carry and protect the memory of the dervishes who traveled from Khorasan to Anatolia and from Anatolia to Rumelia.

The work we are doing is an important work that contributes to the field of evaluation of the social structure of the Turks living in the town of Babadağ in the province of Tulca of Romania and their perspective on Sarı Saltuk. In this study, interviews were conducted with Turkish families on the socio-cultural structure of the region, religious beliefs and perceptions of Sarı Saltuk. The author analyzed the social memories of the region by interviewing the elderly population living in the Babadağ town center and the villages connected to this town. The elderly population was taken as a sample in the study due to the fact that the young population usually immigrates to European countries and the remaining ones have undergone cultural degeneration to a large extent. In the present work, it was found that Tatar Turks and other Turks living in the region identify themselves as “Turks”, while gypsies, who speak Turkish and who are Muslims identify themselves as “millet” or “Turkish nation”.

On probabilities of missed target and false alarm іn medical decision-making systems
Authors: Fainzilberg Leonid
Published: March 2023

Binary classifiers are widely used in solving a number of applied problems, in particular, problems of medical diagnostics. The effectiveness of such systems is characterized by target miss errors and false alarms. Since the probability of a false alarm error usually increases with a decrease in the probability of an allowance error, and vice versa, the tuning of systems implies a certain compromise between the indicated errors. To build a diagnostic algorithm under a priori uncertainty, the Neyman–Pearson strategy is often used, which involves minimizing the probability of a target miss error with a given constraint on the probability of a false alarm error. To study the question of the formal choice of an acceptable constraint, conditions for the usefulness of a diagnostic algorithm are formulated. On the basis of these conditions, the admissible limits of the probabilities of target miss errors and false alarms are determined. The boundary values of the prevalence of diseases are determined, at which a diagnostic algorithm with known operational characteristics remains useful in terms of reducing average losses. Examples are given to illustrate the practical value of the obtained conditions. The features of the decision-making algorithm based on medical symptoms are considered. It has been shown that if, according to medical statistics, a certain symptom is typical for most sick patients and uncharacteristic for most healthy people, but this does not mean high reliability of diagnostic decisions based on the analysis of this symptom in a particular person. Using the example of the analysis of the symptom «Characteristic skin rashes», it was demonstrated that even if the probability of the absence of a symptom in healthy people is 0,99, the probability of a false alarm may be lower than 0,01. This is explained by the fact that in order to make an substantiated decision for a particular patient, it is necessary to make sure that the indicated symptom is absent during a certain observation interval.
Cybernetic model of rational world order under the paradigm of directed evolution
Authors: Palagin Olehander , Symonov Denys
Published: March 2023

With the rapid advancement in our civilizationʼs technology, the dynamics of a variety of global processes are on the rise as well, the environmental degradation rate increases, competition for access to resources grows, new large-scale epidemics emerge, etc. All of these processes and phenomena have a negative impact on global security and are being studied by scientists to develop recommendations for a world order that will meet the needs of humanity, regardless of race, nationality, socio-cultural and religious affiliation, and will allow for the restoration of the environment. The new principles of the world order should be rooted in the main principle of human security — «the possibility of rational development of civilization». This can be achieved by implementing an optimal control system for the world order. Human security should be considered, in addition to the factors of the direct threat of military conflicts, in the context of climate change and natural disasters, cultural and social development, migration and health care. Considering that the problem of human security and development is an interdisciplinary one, the only way to solve it is to combine the efforts of scientists who specialize in different sciences and to use a transdisciplinary approach that appeals to the creation of a scientific picture of the world based on the systematic integration of scientific knowledge and the Noosphere Theory of Academician Vernadsky V.I.
Digital platforms to close the information asymmetry GAPS

Published: March 2023

Market intermediaries coordinate the actions of buyers and sellers. Digital platforms, including the case Platform as a Service (PaaS), take the roles of market intermediaries with some novel ones. In a multi-intermediary world, consumers and suppliers continue to incur search costs due to reacting to multiple intermediaries. Consumers and suppliers discount future net gains due to monetization of search time costs. Consumers have different levels of willingness to pay, suppliers have different opportunity costs, and intermediary firms have different transaction costs. These firms set both bid prices and ask prices. Consumers look for firms that offer a lower purchase price, and suppliers look for firms that offer a higher sale price. Due to such heterogeneity and search costs, the market equilibrium is a distribution of sale prices and a distribution of purchase prices. This equilibrium depends on the discount rate of consumers and suppliers, for whom a higher discount rate stands for a decrease in activity (the number of active consumers and suppliers), while a higher discount rate means an increase in the activity of intermediary firms (the number of active firms): a higher discount rate increases the costs of time-consuming search for consumers and suppliers. Intermediary firms then raise their purchase prices and lower their sale prices because consumers and suppliers are willing to pay a premium to avoid further search, thus increasing the returns to intermediation for firms and stimulating growth in the number of intermediary firms active at the market equilibrium. Thus, the discount rate determines the search costs. When this rate falls to zero, the search costs are eliminated and the relationships between the size of the bid-ask spread and transaction costs are revealed. Then the Walras equilibrium will be the limiting case of the intermediated market when transaction costs fall, and the supply and demand model can be considered an ideal case compatible with the market under consideration at the presence of search costs and price-setting firms. The cloud technologies are saving the general search costs. The two basic cases of providers for such technologies are monopoly and competition.

Published: March 2023

The radical copolymerization of N-[3-(dialkylamino)-propyl]methacrylamides with a number of (meth)acrylic amides and esters in organic solvents over a wide range of molar ratios has been studied. Co-polymerisation constants for five polymerisation systems in 1,4-dioxane and toluene have been determined by the Feinman and Ross method. The influence of the solvent on the kinetics of the copolymerization of the studied monomers was found, which manifests itself in a change of the reactivity ratios of the monomers upon varying the polarity of the medium. For the obtained polymers, the presence of thermosensitive properties in aqueous solutions and the effect of the concentration and composition of copolymers on their solubility in water were shown.

For the first time, calculations of a reinforced polymer composite material (ArPCM) based on T-25 fabric (VMP) and developed modified epoxy matrices with an active diluents (AR) of different nature, structure and characteristics (laproxides and laprolate), a complex of physical and mechanical characteristics were performed using a generalized 3D models of the elementary structural cell of the anisotropic material ArPKM and computational engineering systems (CAE). Calculations and experiments have shown that all the studied modified epoxy matrices can be used in the design of products from ArPKM, however, preference should be given to matrices with E-181 and DEG-1 grade Laproxides, which fully meet the strength requirements for designing products subjected to forces during operation.
Flow of viscous reacting fluid through a porous filler in a flat channel
Authors: Baranov A. V.
Published: March 2023

The flow and heat transfer of a viscous chemically reacting liquid in a flat channel during the molding of composite products are studied. The main assumptions in the task definition were made on the basis of the high viscosity of the liquid and its low thermal diffusivity. The Brinkman equation is used as a motion equation. The flow is accompanied by a chemical reaction, resulting in a sharp increase in viscosity. The viscosity is considered to depend on the temperature and the degree of conversion. This, in turn, led to the inclusion of the kinetic equation of a chemical reaction in the mathematical model. The energy equation is denoted using a single-temperature model and includes dissipative heat emissions. The problem is solved for temperature first-order boundary conditions. The calculations are given for the Nusselt number distribution and the velocity profile transformation. The task was solved numerically by the finite difference method using iterations.

Published: March 2023

A pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar o uso de metodologias ativas e tecnologias inovadoras por docentes em aulas de cursos técnicos profissionalizantes da área da saúde de uma instituição privada de Curitiba. A problemática que instigou a pesquisa relaciona-se ao uso de metodologias ativas e tecnologias inovadoras por profissionais que, em sua maioria, não possuem formação pedagógica inicial. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram organizados a partir de pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como instrumentos para coleta de dados um questionário aplicado a 16 professores que atuam em cursos técnicos da área da saúde de uma instituição privada de Curitiba e a observação de aulas ministradas por cinco dos participantes que afirmaram utilizar metodologias ativas e tecnologias inovadoras. Para análise dos dados, pautou-se na metodologia de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2011), pela qual foram organizados, interpretados e analisados. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de maior investimento na formação continuada do profissional técnico-docente que atua na educação profissional e tecnológica, uma vez que as evidências mostraram que a formação docente é desenvolvida significativamente por meio das experiências vivenciadas em campo.
Processos Criativos em Instalações Geográficas e Pedagógicas
Authors: Ribeiro Emerson
Published: March 2023

Como proporcionar aos educandos experiências formativas que possibilitem aprendizagem e desenvolvimento? Essa questão tem mobilizado a sociedade em geral há muito tempo e tem demandado dos educadores, gestores e pesquisadores a proposição de metodologias que possam estimular o envolvimento das novas gerações nesse processo. É na tentativa de encontrar caminhos que a metodologia das Instalações Geográficas foi criada e, nessa busca, foram realizadas experiências nos diferentes níveis de ensino (fundamental e superior) e em áreas distintas do conhecimento, o que levou a pensar as Instalações não mais restritas ao campo da Geografia, e sim, como Instalações Pedagógicas. Mas o que de inovador o leitor pode encontrar nessa proposta? Ao aliar a criatividade e a imaginação com os conteúdos disciplinares, a metodologia permite um alargamento da experiência formativa que ocorre no espaço escolar e extra-escolar. Ao trabalhar a percepção, a racionalidade e a afetividade por meio de signos e símbolos diante do processo de associação se consegue mobilizar e sensibilizar as crianças, jovens e adultos a uma imersão em que o corpo, a sensibilidade e a mente buscam soluções para as questões propostas, desenvolvendo a criatividade e a criticidade. Por isso, convidamos professores, pesquisadores e todos que têm interesse em promover uma educação emancipadora a mergulhar nesta obra produzida com o intuito de contribuir para melhorar a educação.

A RESPONSABILIDADE CIVIL POR ABANDONO AFETIVO
Authors: SILVA DE MELLO CAMILA
Published: March 2023

The work in question will deal with civil liability for affective abandonment with a focus on the maternal/paternal-child relationship, given that it is a topic of great relevance for the current legal universe because it is increasingly recurrent for children to be sought by the Judiciary in order to to claim indemnities for moral damages against the father/mother. In order to better present and demonstrate the issues discussed here, the doctrine and jurisprudence of the Superior Court of Justice and some Brazilian regional courts were used. At first, we sought to analyze how the evolution of the Brazilian family occurred, based on the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Civil Code of 1916 and the Civil Code of 2002. Afterwards, civil liability was addressed, demonstrating its elements and how they present themselves in affective abandonment. For this purpose, jurisprudence and real cases wereused. Finally, the issue dealt with here was addressed, with emphasis on family power and affective abandonment. Positions in favor and against the issue of repairing moral damages in these cases were also presented.
Mechanisms of formation of tubulointerstitional renal impairment at the initial stages of experimental diabetes mellitus
Authors: Olenovych O.A.
Published: March 2023

Tubulointerstitial disorders were studied in 11-day long experimental alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus. We concluded that changes in the concentration gradients of sodium and potassium are already observed at the early stages of pathology and indicate the initiation of tubular dysfunction accompanied by intensification of natriuresis and kaliuresis. Despite regulatory control of the renal countercurrent multiplication system and intensification of sodium and potassium reabsorption at the level of the ascending Henle loop, further progression of tubulopathy, in addition to the relative insufficiency of the proximal and distal tubules, will result in the disturbance of hormonal-dependent reabsorption of cations, inhibition of aldosterone- and vasopressin-dependent mechanisms of interstitial osmolarity regulation with the development of tubulointerstitial disorders that unable adequate osmotic concentration of urine.

Keywords: experimental diabetes mellitus, alloxan, concentration gradient of sodium and potassium, tubulointerstitial renal impairment.
‘A Paradise of Invalids’
Authors: Langum Virginia
Published: March 2023

Nineteenth-century Madeira was a popular destination for wealthy British people suffering from consumption and other pulmonary ailments. A rich store of sources from the period provide first-hand accounts of invalids on the island or offer special advice for the invalid traveller. After positioning medical travel within the context of contemporary science about climate, health and acclimatization, this article will provide a brief account of existing sources related to medical travel to Madeira. This article then examines this material for what it reveals about contemporary ideas about the Madeiran climate upon health, as well as cultural interaction between the British and the island. In particular, the article will trace how writing about Madeira conforms or diverges from popularly held views about the southern European climate and southern European people, as well as what resonance such views may have in the present.
Towards a Green Medical Humanities
Authors: Kirk Jens
Published: March 2023

This article concerns the relationship between the environment and trauma-like states of mental crisis—a relationship that invites a merging of the concerns of eco-criticism and medical humanities, i.e., a green medical humanities. The article outlines the need for a medical humanities with a clear ecological dimension and introduces two terms that in very different ways combine concerns with the environment and mental health: solastalgia and ecological PTSD. Lastly, the article shows how a reading of a contemporary text—Charles Rangeley-Wilson’s Silt Road: The Story of a Lost River—dealing with the dramatic changes undergone by a British river, benefits from, but also challenges, a combination of ecological and mental health perspectives.

The signifier term symptom is strongly associated with the medical register, and its history in English medical writing has been studied quite extensively. This study contributes to our knowledge of the non-medical uses of symptom during the Early Modern period. Drawing on the 1.4-billion-word Early English Books Online corpus, the study examines all extant occurrences of symptom and categorises their usage. The diachronic study shows that non-medical uses of symptom emerged almost immediately after the word came into common use, and that despite its semantic association with medical prognostication and ailments of various kinds, symptom has always been used to some extent as a signifier term referring to positive events and states of being.
Revisiting the Computer as Informant from a Teacher-Mediated Perspective: Suggested Implementation of an Automated Language Diagnostics Tool
Authors: Ihrmark Daniel
Published: March 2023

This article argues for considering a shift in focus towards teacher-mediated tools in English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching. The argument is primarily carried by previous research within Data-Driven Learning (DDL) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). A tool currently being developed as a part of an ongoing dissertation project in collaboration with EAL teachers is used to showcase how such an implementation could look, and respondent drawings collected as a part of that project are used to fit the implementation within the routines of a small sample of practicing EAL teachers at the upper-secondary level in Sweden (n=4). The results indicate that teacher-mediated data-driven tools could work within theoretical frameworks of corrective feedback, language learning models and suggested routines of practice, but also highlight that much more research is needed before a wider implementation is considered.
Data-driven Learning: Aiming at the Bigger Picture
Authors: Karpenko-Seccombe Tatyana
Published: March 2023

There has been increasing interest in corpus-based teaching of rhetorical features in academic writing at the discourse level (Chen and Flowerdew 2018; Dong and Lu 2020; Moreno and Swales 2018). In line with this tendency, this paper explores the potential of using corpus tools in teaching rhetorical elements of academic writing and considers the ways in which wider aspects of academic writing can be addressed through the use of corpora, for example rhetorical moves in argumentation and counter-argumentation, authorial presence, evaluating an argument and problem–solution patterns. The paper places specific emphasis on practical suggestions for tasks and activities, locating these practical applications within the framework of existing corpus research. The tasks are based on the use of several corpus tools, Lextutor concordance, SkELL, BNC-English corpora and MICUSP. They are targeted at upper-intermediate and advanced second language learners—senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers—and can be used across multiple disciplines.
