Assessment of the Development of Agriculture in Russia Based on the System of National Accounting
Authors: Zinchenko A. P. , Kagirova M. V.
Published: October 2021

The growing interest both in our country and throughout the world in agriculture as an economic activity of strategic importance for ensuring food independence of the country determines the relevance of research on devising approaches to the analysis of its development using statistical methods. The authors’ approaches to assessing the development of agriculture in Russia based on data from the system of national accounts, including input-output tables, presented in this paper, make it possible to characterize the dynamics of the formation and use of output and gross value added (GVA) of the agricultural sector of the economy (including in the institutional context); assess the demand for each of the presented products within the industry and in the intermediate consumption of other industries; to identify structural changes in the composition of intermediate consumption in the production of goods; determine the trends and prospects for the development of agriculture on their basis.

As part of the study, the authors disclosed additional analytical capabilities of statistical databases that include agricultural censuses and current accounting data in the system of macroeconomic indicators and allow for a more accurate assessment of the eﬀectiveness of agricultural development. The calculated coefcients of direct costs ranged in the form of time series, analysis of the structure of intermediate consumption made it possible to identify the features of the development of the Russian agricultural sector and the directions for improving its economic and statistical analysis. The authors argue for the need to take into account the phenomenon of multistructure of agriculture in Russia to calculate the gross value added produced in the sector of peasant farms, subsidiary farms, separately small and large agricultural organizations, including holdings, with the obligatory comparison of the selling prices of their products used when calculating output and GVA. A proposal was made to include a table with additional information on labor costs and consumption of feed, fertilizers, electricity, and other basic resources in physical terms in the system of input-output tables by industry.
Cluster Analysis of Russian Universities Based on the Dynamics of Their Performance Indicators
Authors: Melikyan A. V
Published: October 2021

The article presents the results of a study, the aim of which is to investigate the dynamics of the development of Russian higher education institutions based on an analysis of their performance indicators. The sample includes 535 universities from 80 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It presents the results of the clustering of universities on the basis of changes in indicators of six variables characterizing the key areas of activity of universities for the period from 2013/2014 to 2017/2018 academic years. The characteristics of each cluster are described, an inter-cluster comparison of quantitative indicators of the activities of universities is presented.

As a result of the calculations of the average annual growth rates of six key indicators characterizing the activities of universities, fve clusters were identifed that diﬀer in their development trajectories. Thus, the universities that belong to Cluster 1 over a fve-year period retained or improved their positions in the main areas of educational activity and managed to maintain income growth at an average level.

However, their indicators in such areas as international and research activities, as well as infrastructure development (provision of educational and laboratory facilities) have decreased. In universities from clusters 2 and 3, all performance indicators changed in a fairly balanced way. At the same time, the indicator of an increase in the internationalization of the students’ body was signifcantly higher in Cluster 2, while educational organizations from Cluster 3 showed a signifcant increase in the publication activity of academic staﬀ.

The results of the activities of universities in Cluster 4 were positive in all considered areas. This cluster had the highest average annual growth rates in the average Unifed State Exam (USE) score and publication activity of the academic staﬀ. Educational organizations from Cluster 5, on the one hand, achieved the best results in attracting foreign students, increasing the proftability of their activities and the provision of teaching and laboratory facilities but, on the other hand, their average annual growth rate of the average USE score has signifcantly decreased.

The study represents one of the frst attempts to cluster Russian universities based on the analysis of changes in their performance indicators. Previous studies on the clustering of universities were mainly based on the analysis of one-time indicators. The approach proposed by the author makes it possible to compare indicators of the dynamics of development of higher educational institutions of diﬀerent size and scope. Further research in this area could be aimed at analyzing a larger number of performance indicators of universities and studying in detail their strategies for a deeper understanding of the reasons for the diﬀerences in their eﬀectiveness.

Authors: de Gusmão Oliveira Flávia Roberta , Da Silva Cabral Vera Lúcia
Published: October 2021

Recentemente, o Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), por meio do Provimento nº 63, regulamentou o reconhecimento da filiação socioafetiva no Registro Civil, desburocratizando os casos de reconhecimento da filiação com base na afetividade, bem como permitiu a multiparentalidade. Tal inovação coaduna-se com o arcabouço principiológico do direito de família brasileiro, em especial com os princípios da afetividade, da dignidade da pessoa humana e do melhor interesse da criança. Dessa maneira, o presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o papel do reconhecimento da filiação socioafetiva e da multiparentalidade no registro civil brasileiro, à luz dos princípios que regem o direito de família. Metodologicamente, utilizamos a abordagem qualitativa. Já o método de pesquisa adotado foi o dialético, e as técnicas de coleta de dados foram a documental e o estudo bibliográfico. Nossos resultados apontam que o Provimento nº 63 do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, de 2017, representou um marco para o direito de família brasileiro, uma vez que possibilitou a regularização e o reconhecimento de situações fáticas de arranjos familiares diversos, com base na afetividade.
Constraints and Opportunities for Detecting Land Surface Phenology in Drylands
Authors: Taylor Shawn D. , Browning Dawn M. , Baca Ruben A. , Gao Feng
Published: October 2021

Land surface phenology (LSP) enables global-scale tracking of ecosystem processes, but its utility is limited in drylands due to low vegetation cover and resulting low annual amplitudes of vegetation indices (VIs). Due to the importance of drylands for biodiversity, food security, and the carbon cycle, it is necessary to understand the limitations in measuring dryland dynamics. Here, using simulated data and multitemporal unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery of a desert shrubland, we explore the feasibility of detecting LSP with respect to fractional vegetation cover, plant functional types, VI uncertainty, and two different detection algorithms. Using simulated data, we found that plants with distinct VI signals, such as deciduous shrubs, can require up to 60% fractional cover to consistently detect LSP. Evergreen plants, with lower seasonal VI amplitude, require considerably higher cover and can have undetectable phenology even with 100% vegetation cover. Our evaluation of two algorithms showed that neither performed the best in all cases. Even with adequate cover, biases in phenological metrics can still exceed 20 days and can never be 100% accurate due to VI uncertainty from shadows, sensor view angle, and atmospheric interference. We showed how high-resolution UAV imagery enables LSP studies in drylands and highlighted important scale effects driven by within-canopy VI variation. With high-resolution imagery, the open canopies of drylands are beneficial as they allow for straightforward identification of individual plants, enabling the tracking of phenology at the individual level. Drylands thus have the potential to become an exemplary environment for future LSP research.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an outbreak due to SARS-CoV-2, declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic in March 2020. Patients with underlying diseases, such as those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis, are at greater risk. Objectives: The aim of our study to assess the outbreak and impact of COVID-19 on dialysis patients. Patients and Methods: Our study prospectively assessed and followed 442 patients with ESKD undergoing dialysis [390 patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and 52 patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD)] for outbreak and impact of COVID-19 on these patients during the period from April 22, 2020 until March 23, 2021 in Al Khezam dialysis center, Kuwait. Age, gender, nationality, original kidney disease, history of hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), ischemic heart disease (IHD), congestive heart failure (CHF), bronchial asthma (BA), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), history of pulmonary embolism (PE) and source of infection were analyzed. Symptoms as fever, fatigue, cough, loss of smell and taste and chest pain were recorded, the need for ICU admission, mechanical ventilation (MV), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), medications were recorded. The need to shift to continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and outcomes (complications and mortality) were analyzed. Results: Our study reported that 102 out of 442 (23%) dialysis patients [97 out of 390 (24.8%) HD patients and 5 out of 52 (9.6%) PD patients] got infected with COVID-19 and reinfection reported in 4 out of 97 (4%) COVID-19 HD patients. Around 27% of COVID-19 HD patients had fever, 19% had fatigue, 8% had cough, 4% had loss of smell, 4% had loss of taste, 4% had chest pain and 40% of COVID-19 PD patients had fever. Fifteen out of 97 (15 %) COVID-19 HD patients needed ICU admission, 12 out of 97 (12 %) COVID-19 HD patients needed MV. A 33 out of 97 (34%) COVID-19 HD patients and 4 out of 5 (80%) COVID-19 PD patients needed to switch to CRRT. Mortality was 17 (15 HD and 2 PD) out of 102 (16.6 %) COVID-19 dialysis patients and common causes of death were sepsis, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure and PE. Conclusion: Outbreak and mortality of COVID-19 infection is high in ESKD patients undergoing dialysis compared with general populations. Strict protocol for prevention of COVID-19 should be undertaken in dialysis centers and encourage of home dialysis and highly protective COVID-19 vaccination priority for dialysis patients.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Anemia is a common complication in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on regular hemodialysis (HD). There has been a lot of interest recently in the non-classical effects of 25(OH) vitamin D (calcidiol), including its association with erythropoiesis and anemia pathogenesis. Objectives: To study the relation between anemia and vitamin D status in patients on regular HD. Results: This study is a cross-sectional study that included 90 patients on regular HD. Vitamin D status was classified into deficient (<20 ng/ mL), insufficient (20-30 ng/mL) and sufficient (>30 ng/mL). The level of vitamin D measured in the patients ranged between 3.5 to 66 ng/mL with median of 16.35 ng/mL. There were statistically significant positive correlations between vitamin D levels and the level of hemoglobin (P<0.001), serum calcium levels (P<0.001) and serum PO4 levels (P=0.023). Higher hemoglobin levels were statistically related to both higher vitamin D values (P<0.001) and higher serum calcium concentration P<0.001). Meanwhile, a significant negative correlation was found between hemoglobin levels and serum PTH values (P<0.001). Conclusion: There was a significant association between the status of vitamin D and the level of hemoglobin in dialysis population who were studied, independent from iron status. other associations with hemoglobin levels included PTH level and calcium.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Hepcidin is a key regulatory peptide in iron homeostasis, the pathogenesis of functional iron deficiency (FID) anemia and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) resistance is contributed to the inflammatory mediated increase in the serum hepcidin levels among prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients. Objectives: To test the reducing therapeutic effect of oral vitamin C supplements on hepcidin levels and iron status among HD patients with FID anemia. Patients and Methods: This study is an interventional prospective cohort study; 48 prevalent HD patients were enrolled. Group one: 31 patients who received the conventional treatment of erythropoietin stimulating agents together with oral supplementation of vitamin C 500 mg every other day dose for 3 months. Group two: 17 patients who received only the conventional therapy of erythropoietin stimulating agents. Patients with hemoglobin level <11 g/dL, ferritin level >200 ng/mL and transferrin saturation (TSAT) >20 % were included. Laboratory parameters: serum hepcidin, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) titre, CBC, and iron indices were measured at baseline and after 3 months. Results: On comparing the two groups, oral vitamin C in group 1 resulted in a statistically significant reduction in hepcidin levels [mean 2506.456 ± 1320.53 pg/mL to 1748.396 ± 1432.28 pg/mL (P = 0.03)], and a significant reduction in hs-CRP level [mean 8603.236 ± 2547.77 ng/mL to 5611.296 ± 2829.27 ng/mL] (P = 0.001) after three months of treatment in comparison to control group. A decrease of EPO requirement and elevation of hemoglobin level were observed in a study group with oral vitamin C. Conclusion: Oral vitamin C may be a promising therapy in decreasing serum hepcidin and inflammatory markers among prevalent HD patients with FID anemia.

Aim. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracoscopic and hybrid techniques in patients with various forms of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Methods. The results of thoracoscopic ablation of 87 patients with AF were analyzed: 27 (31%) with paroxysmal form, 15 (17%) - with persistent, 45 (52%) - with long-term persistent form at follow-up 18.6±6.7 months. “Box-Lesion” treatments and amputation of left atrial appendage (LAA) were performed in 69 (79.3%) patients, “Box Lesion” without LAA amputation in 12 (13.7%). When atrial tachycardia was recorded for more than 30 seconds after a 3-month “blind” period, patients underwent hybrid catheter intervention.

Results. Freedom from atrial arrhythmias in the group of paroxysmal AF was achieved in 84% of patients (21 of 25), in the group of persistent form - in 60% of patients (9 of 15), in the group of long-term persistent form - in 78% (32 of 41) at a given observation period. In the structure of postoperative atrial tachycardia, AF recurrence was 5 (6.25%), typical atrial flutter (AFL) - 3 (3.75%), atypical AFL - 10 (12.5%). The mean LA volume index in patients with stable sinus rhythm was 64.6±11.3 ml/m2 versus 74.65±15.4 ml/m2 in the atrial tachycardia group (Student’s t-test 0.53, p = 0.6). These patients underwent a hybrid intervention. At a follow-up period of 15.9±10.9 months, a stable sinus rhythm was maintained in 15 (83.3%) patients. The overall rate of intra- and postoperative complications of thoracoscopic ablation was 5.7%.

Conclusion. Thoracoscopic and hybrid approaches are effective methods for various forms of AF treatment.

SYSTEMITY AND SITUATIONALITY vs TRANSFORMATION OF RUSSIAN EDUCATION
Authors: Shammazova E.Yu. , Zalyaev A.R.
Published: October 2021

Modern Russian (and worldwide) education is hostage to the controversial situation associated with the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, which invariably entails a reorientation of traditional methods of education. At present, higher education and the entire world education system are painfully looking for new ways and guidelines for their development. Education paradigms that were formed in the preceding historical time and effectively served the needs of this time are not relevant in the conditions of modern sociocultural realities, therefore the problem of teaching is faced with the need to develop new paradigms of one's own existence. Distance learning technologies challenge us to keep up with the times, be progressive and increasingly use high-tech products. At the same time, there is a danger that the world is becoming increasingly virtualized. The “sense of the edge” disappears, the world is mythologized. The article analyzes the existing systemity of Russian education and the need for its transformation in the light of new realities.

Published: October 2021

O dramaturgo luso-brasileiro Antônio José da Silva, mais conhecido pelo apelido, o Judeu, levou aos palcos de Lisboa oito peças cômicas, classificadas como óperas joco-sérias. Nelas, ele dialoga de forma paródica, ora com a mitologia grega, como, por exemplo, em Anfitrião ou Júpiter e Alcmena, Os encantos de Medeia e Labirinto de Creta; ora com narrativas canônicas da Literatura Ocidental, como se lê em A vida do grande Dom Quixote de La Mancha e do gordo Sancho Pança. Vítima da Inquisição portuguesa do século XVIII, o Judeu, por meio de simbologias e metáforas, registrou em seus textos, os excessos do poder monárquico e eclesiástico, durante o reinado do Tribunal do Santo Ofício.

Este artigo aponta alguns pontos em comum na trajetória do mártir judeu da época do Talmud, Rabi Akiva, e do mártir brasileiro da época do Brasil-colônia, Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, o Tiradentes. Ambos os personagens viveram em épocas de grande opressão por parte de algum poder dominante, tiveram infâncias difíceis e possuíam ascendência judaica. Humanistas, eles buscavam a justiça e a defesa dos menos afortunados. Nesse processo, Rabi Akiva manteve o judaísmo vivo e o sacrifício de Tiradentes, segundo a história oficial, precedeu a independência do Brasil.

Dalam menanggulangi hama dan penyakit diareal pertanian, maka petani banyak sekali memanfaatkan pestisida sintetik tanpa menyadari dampak residu yang ditimbulkannya dan inilah yang menjadi faktor kelemahan yang sering dijumpai dikalangan petani yang ada di Kelurahan Pandu. Selain itu pula kurangnya pengetahuan mereka tentang pemanfaatan fungisida nabati sebagai solusi alternatif pilihan lain dalam pengendalian organisme pengganggu tanaman pertanian. PKM ini memiliki tujuan dan target khusus yang ingin dicapai yaitu peningkatan pengetahuan serta keterampilan Petani dan Ibu-Ibu PKK dalam pemanfaatan fungisida nabati dalam meningkatkan produksi tanaman pisang. Metode yang digunakan dalam PKM ini adalah bentuk penyuluhan dan pelatihan (ceramah) serta praktek pembuatan fungisida nabati (simulasi). Kegiatan PKM ini dilaksanakan selama kurang lebih 8 bulan. Terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan pemahaman petani dan Ibu-Ibu PKK tentang dampak negatif dari pestisida sintetik bagi lingkungan dan manusia serta pemanfaatan fungisida nabati dalam meningkatkan produksi tanaman pisang, yang dibuktikan dengan hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan pretest dan posttest, dimana setelah selesai pemberian materi pada kegiatan PKM (Posttest) maka dari 37 orang peserta sudah tidak ada lagi peserta yang mendapatkan nilai di bawah 50 (0.00%) dibandingkan pada saat sebelum kegiatan PKM (Pretest), dimana nilai persentase pada interval nilai 0-50 sebesar 97.3%. Terjadi peningkatan keterampilan Petani dan Ibu-Ibu PKK dalam pembuatan fungisida nabati sebagai salah satu alternatif solusi pengendalian penyakit layu tanaman pisang akibat serangan jamur pathogen Fusarium oxysporum, yang dibuktikan dengan antusiasnya peserta mengikuti kegiatan praktek ini, dibuktikan dengan hasil analisis rekapan nilai evaluasi topik belajar, yang tertinggi pada aspek pemahaman dengan kategori sangat kurang dan kurang tidak ada peserta dari 37 orang peserta, 2 orang (sedang), 5 orang (baik), dan 30 orang (sangat baik). Sedangkan kategori yang rendah pada aspek ke-4 (kemampuan mengkomunikasikan materi praktek dengan pihak lain), dari 37 peserta, terdapat 1 orang dengan kategori kurang, walaupun terdapat 21 orang yang memiliki kriteria sangat baik untuk mengkomunikasikan hasil praktek dengan pihak lain.

Evidence based public health is one of the basic training tools of public health students and young officers in decision making. The training tools for early career specialists and trainees in public health is journal clubs (JC). It keeps the knowledge of professionals up to date and assist them in receiving information to design, plan, implement health care services, policies and strategies.

The intention of the JC team was to raise awareness of methods for public health literature search, appraising it and applying this knowledge in their daily practices. A senior public health practitioner in Somaliland (the corresponding author) invited medical students and residents to have JCs as a part of their training. They did not accept the offer so the organizer invited practicing junior public health professionals instead. The JC team members were a general practitioner and 3 public health workers from Ministry of Health, public hospital physician, public health school and field public health officer. A weekly or twice weekly journal club took place to train them in critical appraisal. This continued for 15 months in a hybrid mentorship for the health care professionals.

The team mentor selected a paper for discussion. Mentees choose a study design appraisal tool from the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) that matched the study to present. In the process of appraisal, a team member led the discussion using the checklist.

The mentees presented their critical appraisal either orally or via a presentation. The checklist and paper were compared for assessing the study design and structure of the paper of the week.

This approach of empowering junior public health officers in Somalia is a way forward for encouraging the professionals to use evidence based practice in their daily practices. This will improve their selection of research tools and translating the scientific work into their practice and services.

This paper investigates an effective technique that can improve fifth-grade students' vocabulary mastery. Thus some researchers agree that effective teaching techniques that can improve vocabulary mastery are Jigsaw techniques. Many researchers have researched students to the general public in different places. The researcher almost found the same problem experienced by the learners in mastery vocabulary such as pronunciation, spelling, hard to understand, and the general problem: boredom and disinterest. However, to overcome these problems, the researcher use library methods research to collect the data and investigate the effectiveness of using Jigsaw techniques. Therefore, the finding showed that using Jigsaw techniques for the learners would be a great technique to improve their vocabulary mastery.

Turbomachinery has a vital role in the industrial engineering and the bladed disks such as; compressor, impeller pumps, turbine generator and jet engines are the critical components of turbomachinery. This work is focused on the “mistuning effect” of bladed disks of a turbine, which creates the lack of symmetry and ultimately damages the turbine blade. In order to completely understand the severity of the damage caused by the mistuning effect on the turbine disk, the study and analysis of the model parameters is very important. This work provides an insight to the various effects caused by the presence of crack and mistuning levels, in the mistuned turbine blisk, by using smeared material properties and modal assurance criterion (MAC) techniques. Moreover, a mistuned blisk model with four cracks (at various locations and different depth levels) has been developed and compared with the tuned blisk model, in order to determine the severity of damage occurred. The MAC results indicate that the severity of damage may vary depending on the location and depth of the crack and mistuning may alter the dynamic and vibrational characteristics of the structure.

Navigation is an essential skill for autonomous robots and it becomes a cumbersome task in human populated environments. Robots need to perform the tasks without disturbing the humans around them and ensure comfort and safety of humans as well. It is further influenced by various factors like social norms, geometry of environment and surrounding people. It is essential to comprehend three components i.e. Social Conventions (SC), Human Motion (HM) and Context Aware Mapping (CAM) for establishing effective socially aware robot navigation (SARN). This article discusses these different aspects of these components which should be taken into consideration while designing an efficient and optimal SARN. Further, it reports recent experiments conducted by different institutes pertaining to these components.

The main aim of this approach is to improve the design model of filters for optimal circuit design. The objective of this proposed method is to improve the performance of VLSI circuit like area, power, and delay. In recent days, the filters are most applicable designs in DSP, medical diagnosis and arithmetic computations. In Digital Signal Processing and communication applications, the FIR filter plays an important role. The Finite Impulse Response is designed with number of adders, multipliers, subtraction units, transfer functions and delay elements. The VLSI circuits are applied in various applications, but the number adders and multipliers occupy the design space since it increases the area and delay factors. The main aim is to reduce the number of adders and multiplier by various computational algorithms. The existing research work uses carry save accumulator with ripple carry adder and binary multiplier. In proposed method, the enhanced Vedic multiplication logic and improved carry lookahead adder logic improves the result. In Vedic multiplication algorithm, the number of adder logic is minimized by adding speculative Brent-kung adder logic in it. The fastest adder in VLSI circuit is CLA (Carry look ahead adder logic), which is improved by utilizing the result of reduced power consumption and delay. In this proposed research work, the power optimization is done by using enhanced clock gating technique. Here, area, power, and delay factors are measured and it is compared with conventional FIR filter design. The proposed method improves the result in the way of area, power, and delay. The whole FIR filter structure is designed and power optimized by connecting with an enhanced clock gating technique. This proposed design and simulate by using Xilinx ISE 14.5 and it is synthesize by ModelSim.
