Authors: Obraztsova Anastasia , Serdotetsky Fedor
Published: December 2021

The authors analyzed and explored the promotion mechanisms as well as looked at the ways of monetizing multimedia content on Instagram. We discovered that organizations are using both the classic techniques for creating communication channels with their audience and most modern ones.
The analysis was carried out during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Eight Russian and foreign Instagram accounts of commercial organizations were taken for the study. The main criterion for choosing blogs was the number of subscribers as of 04/02/20–05/04/2020. We analyzed the marketing strategy of the following accounts: “kingarthurflour”, “intel”, “dictionarycom”, “pyaterochka_official”, “magnitkrd”, “traderjoes”, “respublica_ru”, “sberbank”. This sample is purposefully compiled in such a way as to comprehensively study how old and new Internet marketing tools are used to promote blogs specializing in different goods and services.
We described in detail the techniques for promoting audiovisual and textual content. The reasons for the erroneous SMM marketing strategies are explained and examples of effective ones are shown. The main methods of monetization of media production are also presented and typologized.
The relevance of this work lies in the need to show the advantage of SMM tools and discover previously unknown ones — for successful marketing in one of the most massive social networks. The study found that the appropriate selection and competent use of SMM technologies have a positive effect on promotion and monetization.

The beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the emergence of new media and the development of the Internet space by traditional media. A large number of sports publications have moved to an online format. This article examined the system of Russian specialized sports online media. The study analyzed the one hundred most popular specialized sports online media. We studied the following independent variables: the amount of materials per day/ per week; monthly number of visitors; official registration as a media; period of existence. The research found that the system of Russian specialized sports online media includes specialized professional online media, specialized mass online media, club Internet media, sites of sports federations, fan sites, communication and statistical platforms. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Internet resources are not officially registered media, although they perform all the functions of media and have the same goal. In conclusion, it can be highlighted that specialized sports sites are divided into the most popular, relatively popular and unpopular in relation to sports.
Advertising Opportunities of the Blogosphere on the YouTube Platform
Authors: Shchepilova Galina , Ogurtsova Viktoriia
Published: December 2021

The largest video hosting service in the world is currently the YouTube platform. Having originated in the USA in 2005 the video hosting service very quickly expanded the scope of its geographical presence due to the ability to use the service in different countries. YouTube's monetization was based on an advertising model from the very beginning. The YouTube Premium service created inside the platform (previously called YouTube Red) allows you to watch content without ads by subscription. But the content model is not developing so rapidly and main financial flows continue to come from advertising. That is why it is worth understanding the possibilities of advertising on YouTube. The research identified integrated advertising on YouTube blogs which were selected according to various criteria: total number of subscribers, broadcast language, regular content publications (at least 1 publication per quarter), genre, ranking position and number of views. Advertisements were found present in all analyzed blogs while the types of advertising varied depending on the genre of the blog. The time a blogger spent on advertising also largely depended on the genre characteristics of the blog. Currently, one of the most popular types of advertising is self-promotion, since it is directly related to third-party bloggers' earnings. In the current research we analyzed advertising in the blogosphere based on monitoring several diverse thematic blogs and identified most common forms of advertising. The attempt to classify advertising opportunities in the video hosting user content seems important to us because it allows us to streamline the terminology and in the future develop a system of interaction between channels and advertisers.

Published: December 2021

We present the problem of optimization of cylindrical linear induction generators. The stator winding is located on the inner and outer cores of the magnetic system. The working fluid is a well-conducting liquid moving at a constant speed along the length of the channel. Since the generator is one of the elements of a complex installation the problem of optimizing it should be coordinated with a similar problem for the installation as a whole. This is done with the help the parameters common to all installation elements. Such parameters are the speed and flow rate of the working fluid. We describe the calculation algorithm with the use of computer technology. The efficiency and specific gravity of the generator are accepted as optimality criteria. The calculation results for a generator with the power of 20 MW are presented.

Published: December 2021

In the presented article, synchronous electric motors of reciprocating motion of a linear structure and a typical rotational motion are considered. As a rule, such electric motors are two-phase, one winding is supplied with constant voltage, and the other with alternating voltage. To study transient processes in linear synchronous motors (SM), the equations of Park-Gorev SD of rotary action were taken as a basis, but they were transformed taking into account the necessary additions. As a result of the work, a mathematical model of linear SD is shown, which allows one to study the reciprocating motion of linear SD. With the help of the developed mathematical model, the study of the asynchronous start of the linear SD in the coordinates α-β and d-q was carried out. As a result of comparing the results in different coordinates, an acceptable accuracy of the calculated data was obtained.

Currently, the penetration of industrial robots into all sectors of the economy is increasing. However, there is an acute problem of conducting preliminary tests. The use of the digital twin as a replacement for the industrial robot is driven by high economic costs. In order to reduce the cost of the project, a solution is proposed to conduct preliminary tests on the developed model. The article developed a mathematical model of one of the drives of the industrial robot manipulator Yaskawa Motoman MH50-35. The model is suitable for researching the movement of the robot' tool. A mathematical description of a permanent magnet synchronous motor SGMJV-09A in a rotating coordinate system is given and a block diagram of the power part of the drive is made. A system for regulating the position of the robot's tool with a nonlinear position controller has been synthesized. Based on the results of modeling the operation of an electric drive in the Matlab Simulink environment, the degree of correspondence of the developed model to a real object was assessed and conclusions were drawn about the limits of its applicability for studying the operation of an electric drive of a robotic arm. The accuracy of working out the task for turning the wrist is 0.0001 rad, there is no overshoot in position, and the time for completing a full turn of the tool is 1.07 s.
TÜRKİYE’DE TARIMSAL VERİMLİLİK VE ALAN BAZLI DESTEKLEMELER ÜZERİNE AMPİRİK BİR UYGULAMA
Authors: USLU Hakan , APAYDIN Ferhat
Published: December 2021

Türkiye’de tarım sektörüne yönelik verilen alan bazlı desteklemeler 2002 yılından bu yana ülke genelinde ortalama 3 kat artarken bazı bölgelerde bu artış 18 kata kadar çıkmıştır. Sektör açısından hayati önem taşıyan bu desteklemelerin tarımsal faaliyetler üzerindeki etkisi ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde yeteri kadar ilgi görmemiştir. Halbuki Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde lokomotif görevi taşıyan tarım sektörü ve sektöre yönelik verilen desteklemelerin iyi analiz edilip yorumlanması ülke ekonomileri ve sektörün geleceği için son derece önemlidir. Bu amaçla yapılan bu çalışma Türkiye’de tarım sektörüne yönelik verilen alan bazlı desteklemelerin tarımsal verimlilik, üretim ve tarım alanları üzerindeki etkisini ampirik olarak analiz etmektedir. Spesifik olarak, çalışma ülkenin 81 ilini ve 2002-2020 dönemini kapsayan panel veri setine dayalı olarak Driscoll-Kraay tahmincisi yardımıyla tarımsal destekler ve tarımsal verimlilik ilişkisini ekonometrik yöntemlerle incelemektedir. Çalışma bulguları alan bazlı desteklemelerin tarımsal üretim ve tarım alanlarını olumsuz etkilediğini, desteklerin dolar ya da satın alma gücü açısından tekrar hesaplandığında tarımsal verimlilik üzerinde herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışma bulguları aynı zamanda tarımda makineleşmenin, geçmiş dönemlerde hasat edilen ürünlerin parasal değerlerinin ve yağış miktarlarının tarımsal verimlilik üzerindeki önemlerini de rapor etmektedir.

Smart contract: from definition to certainty
Authors: Truntsevsky Yuriy , Sevalnev Vyacheslav
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the present article is to gain an understanding of the opportunities and difficulties created by the introduction and development of the practice of network (smart) contracts. Our research methodology is based on a holistic set of principles and methods of scholarly analysis employed by modern legal science. It uses a dialectical method involving both general approaches (structural system method, formal logical method, analysis and synthesis of individual elements, individual features of concepts, abstraction, generalization, etc.) and particular methods (legal technical, systematic, comparative, historical, and grammatical methods, method of the unity of theory and practice, etc.). We analyze the views of lawyers and other specialists from Russia and abroad, legislative innovations in the field of digital technologies, the practice of blockchain-based smart contracts, and the main risks (whether legal, technological, operational, or criminogenic) of smart contracts for economic activities with a study of their causes. In the present-day situation, it is necessary to move from the legal definition of the smart contract and its legal and technological characteristics, advantages and disadvantages to the implementation of startups in a wide range of areas, especially business, public regulation, and social relations. Scholarly and information support for such processes will contribute to the development of industry, public administration and digital technology applications to improve the life of individual citizens and society as a whole. The introduction of smart contracts does not require the adoption of new laws or regulations. Instead, one should adapt and, possibly, modify existing legal principles at the legislative and judicial levels to pave the way for the use of smart contracts and other new technologies. The system of contract law provides a sufficient framework for regulating transactions without the introduction of any new legal categories. We propose approaches to the legal definition of the smart contract and identify a set of problems that must be solved at the legislative and technical legal levels in order to implement smart contracts effectively in different spheres of life.
Legal Basis for Remote Sale of Medicines in the Russian Federation
Authors: Kornienko Alexander , Neretina Nadezhda
Published: December 2021

The topic of the article is very relevant, first of all, due to the fact that today the development of the information and telecommunication services market involves almost all areas of people’s life in the field of e-commerce. Until April 2020, it was not possible to purchase a medicinal product online on the territory of the Russian Federation due to the lack of a regulatory legal framework regulating such a mechanism. However, at the moment, the relevant legislation has entered into force, regulating in detail the sale of medicines in a remote format. Taking into account the presented circumstances, it seems to us that the issue of studying new legislative acts in the field of remote sale of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation is largely being updated. The subject of the article is the mechanism of legal regulation of remote sale of medicines in Russia. The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of legal regulation of the process of remote sale of medicines in the Russian Federation at the present stage. This research is based on a combination of groups of classical general scientific methods (induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis) and a number of special methods of scientific cognition applied directly within the framework of legal science (formal legal, comparative legal and others). Within the framework of the presented article, the authors carried out a conceptual analysis of the features of the legal regulation of the sale of medicines using remote technologies, taking into account the latest changes in legislation. The specifics of remote trade in prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as the peculiarities of labeling of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation, are analyzed. As a result of a comprehensive study of current trends in regulatory regulation and justification of possible methods for improving the systems for issuing electronic prescriptions, as well as mandatory labeling of medicines, a conclusion is made about the possibility of further development of remote trade in medicines in the Russian Federation.

The article reveals the influence of manipulative tactics in the media discourse on the public consciousness of the peoples of different countries regarding such a huge territory as Siberia. The authors analyze the historical, sociological, and psycholinguistic aspects of the functioning of the geopolitonym Siberia in the geopolitical conflictogenic media discourse within the framework of the linguistic-informational model of Siberia in the modern media discourse on the material of different structural languages. The selection of sources was based on the method of contextual analysis with an emphasis on the implicit content of the media image of the region, the descriptive method, the method of cultural interpretation, content analysis. Information wars use the image of Siberia as the center of the matrix of conflict-prone media discourse to increase attention to events in Russia and accentuate geopolitical manipulations in the public consciousness. The authors give the concept of a media matrix for understanding the cognitive side of media images of a geopolitical topoobject, such as Siberia. The media matrix of geopolitonyms consists of linguoinfornems, being implemented in linguoinformational steps in the media discourse. The media image of Siberia is diverse, being realized in evaluative linguistic systems of different languages, based on scalable sociostereotypes about Siberia. The authors show what the mythologized and realistic perception of the image of Siberia is based on, how it is interconnected with the tasks of geopolitics, influencing success in intercultural communication. The research is aimed at understanding linguistic universals in the perception of geopolitonyms. The article is of interest to specialists in the field of linguistics, psychology, journalism, history, cultural studies, sociology, and political science

Published: December 2021

The article describes and systematizes the constants and cultural codes of SIBERIA, a linguocultural concept, through the case of British and American linguistic cultures. Mythologization of SIBERIA, built on the «friend-or-foe» dualism, reveals similarities with the mythologeme of the «World Tree» (an inner cultural space of the people’s cosmic world of firmness, desire to build the «middle world», opposite to the «lower world» of nature, vast territories, extreme cold, giantism, and terrifying social conditions). The permanent and variable elements of SIBERIA, represented in the artistic discourse, are considered; the explication found in some English works of the 18th – 20th centuries are investigated for their frequency and, further, classified
Comparative Analysis of the Coronavirus Metaphorical Projections in the Chinese and Russian Mass Media
Authors:   Military University, Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Kalinin Oleg I. , Romanov Alexander S.
Published: December 2021

This research focuses on a comparative analysis of the coronavirus metaphorical image in the Chinese and Russian mass media. The discursive theory of metaphor serves as a theoretical basis for our study. Within the framework of this theory metaphor is referred to as a cognitive frame, which operates in the discursive space for a certain period of time. J. Charteris-Black’s Metaphor Critical Analysis has been used for the practical part of this paper. Linguistic analysis is based upon headlines and leads of Chinese and Russian news reports on the coronavirus pandemic. A total of 750 units of analysis in Chinese and 1,000 units of analysis in Russian have been examined. The authors arrive at the conclusion that media projections of the coronavirus image in the PRC and Russia are similar. Among the most widespread metaphorical models are «Virus is Enemy/Antagonist,» «Virus is Natural Disaster/Phenomenon,» «Virus is Living Creature,» and «Virus is Cause of Fear.» Despite overall homogeneity of metaphorical images, quantitative indicators of the distribution of metaphors and metaphorical implications (entailments) show significant differences. Critical analysis of Chinese and Russian media metaphors has made it possible to scrutinize public opinion within two different political systems
On the History of the Vocabulary of the Thematic Group «Christian Virtues and Sins»: Based on the Translated Church Slavonic Hymnography
Authors:   School of Philosophy National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Panepistimiopolis, Borisova Tatiana S.
Published: December 2021

This study examines the formation and further evolution of the Church Slavonic and Russian vocabulary describing Christian virtues and sins. Our research was conducted on the available Church Slavonic translations of four Byzantine hymns (the Akathistos Hymn, the Great Canon of Repentance by St. Andrew of Crete, the Alphabetical Stichera from the Great Canon service, and the Great and Holy Friday Antiphons) found in Southern and Eastern Slavonic manuscripts of the 11th‑16th century, as well as Russian editions dating back to the 17th – early 20th century. The textological study revealed five main stages in the evolution of these texts caused by systematic corrections in accordance with the Greek text. Based on these results, the linguistic textological method was applied in order to reveal the main differences between said stages in regard to conveying terms relevant to Christian virtues and sins. We examined a total of 110 Greek words and idiomatic expressions in this thematic field and classified them following the method suggested by E. M. Vereshchagin who focused on ways of terms creation. There were revealed main ways these terms were formed in the target language and the general tendencies in their translation during different stages in the history of Church Slavonic. The results of our research showcased the leading role of transposition in the formation of the terms, the negligible amount of lexical loans, as well as the growing role of calquing in the history of Church Slavonic. We also showed the ways in which the Church Slavonic and Russian languages adopted new linguistic and cultural realities and reinterpreted the system of Greek ethical terms, which helps us understand the mechanisms of intercultural transfer, as well as the linguistic factors that contribute to the identification of Russian culture in the general Orthodox context
Potential for the Development of Productive Activities of the Russian Penal System in the Context of Achieving National Goals Under the Paris Climate Agreement
Authors:   Scientific Research Institute of the Federal Penitentiary System, Mutovin Sergey I.
Published: December 2021

One of the key tasks of the penal and correctional system is not only to socially isolate convicts and organize acceptable living conditions for them, but also to ensure their adequate resocialization after serving their sentence. The solution of this problem requires new approaches to the conduct of production activities by the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Among others, priority should be given to the areas of traditional economic specialization of the penitentiary system, which include, for example, logging and woodworking. The national contribution of the Russian Federation to the implementation of the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement implies the fullest possible use of the carbon-absorbing capacity of Russian forests. This task is solved, among other things, by a significant increase in the volume of artificial reforestation, which requires the development of a network of tree nurseries throughout the country. The article analyzes in detail the experience of a joint pilot project on forest nursery creation based on one of the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service with the participation of business association in the field of forest industry in Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is shown that the project is not only effective, but also has high indicators of economic efficiency, characterized by low payback period under the condition of ensuring decent working conditions for inmates. It emphasizes the importance of scientific and methodological support of the work performed by universities and research institutes, including within the program of creating world-class scientific and educational centers of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

Published: December 2021

The Malaysian palm oil industry has grown rapidly due to Malaysia’s tropical weather and suitable terrain. Palm oil production is now categorized as the most significant agriculture-based industry in the country. Along with strong economic returns, the palm oil industry also generates an abundance of waste products, including empty fruit bunches (EFB) (23%), mesocarp fibre (12%), shells (5%) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) (60%) for every batch of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) processed in the mills. This study is meant to fill the gap from previous studies in terms of biogas productions from the POME or the combination of POME and EFB which normally been conducted under the thermophilic conditions. The appropriate mixture ratios between POME and EFB in anaerobic digestion will reduce time of treatment and space if been conducted in the low temperature (mesophilic conditions). Thus, this paper is focuses on the analysis of batch test design which consist of low temperature (mesophilic, 20-40 °C) conditions for evaluating the performance of biogas production from the combination of POME and EFB in anaerobic digestion. The aim was to determine the amount of biogas production based on different ratios of POME and EFB mixtures. Biogas 1, containing 160 mL of fresh POME mixed with 40 g of EFB, was shredded and blended with 1800 mL seed sludge. Biogas 2, containing 120 mL of fresh POME mixed with 80 g of EFB, was shredded and blended with 1800 mL seed sludge. Based on the analysis of the results, the total production of Biogas 1 was greater than that of Biogas 2. The findings also show that the ratio of POME and 20% EFB (Biogas 1) was more efficient in producing the biogas compared to the ratio POME and 40% EFB (Biogas 2) under the mesophilic conditions. Thus, the mesophilic conditions required energy saving and low-cost process, compared to the previous studies which used the high temperature (thermophilic, 41-122 °C) that definitely was costly and require more energy consumption. This study will serve as preliminary results for enhancing the treatment methods use in Malaysia and form the early basis for the development of a new technology incorporating a combination of POME and EFB.
Hydro-cooling as Means to Retain Fresh Sweet Corn Ears Quality
Authors: Ding Phebe , Raja Mat Raja Norhidayu
Published: December 2021

Sweet corn ear is a highly perishable produce with short postharvest life due to its high respiration rate which depletes sugar concentration in kernel. As a result, ear loses its sweetness and quality within 1 to 2 days under room temperature. Hydro-cooling after harvest is a good practice as it can reduce the metabolism and respiration rate of the produce. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hydro-cooling in retaining quality of sweet corn ears. Freshly harvested sweet corn ears were immersed in hydro-cooler to achieve its half and seven-eighth cooling time. Pre-cooled and non-pre-cooled ears were then stored at 12±2 and 25±2 °C for 8 days and quality index, weight loss, pH, soluble solids concentration, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid of ears were evaluated at 2 days interval. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement (three cooling times × two storage temperatures × five storage days) and then repeated thrice. Differences between cooling time × storage temperature, cooling time × storage day, storage temperature × storage day and cooling time × storage temperature × storage day were significant on quality index of ears. Storage temperature × storage day was also significant on ears weight loss, soluble solids concentration and pH. Seven-eight cooling time and storage at 12±2 °C provide the best quality index of ears; retain higher soluble solids concentration and pH with significantly lower weight loss compared to other cooling time treatment and 25±2 °C storage temperature. In short, temperature management is crucial in manipulating sweet corn ears quality.

This study aimed to characterize differentially expressed proteins in malignant ovarian tissue to find out potential novel biomarkers in ovarian cancer (OC). We enrolled 20 ovarian cancer patients (40-65 years) and an equal number of age-matched healthy women to get malignant and healthy ovarian tissue samples for protein extraction and quantification after tissue lysis. The protein profile was analyzed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Based on the information thus obtained, the proteins were identified using the relevant software and protein databank to analyze the malignant and non-malignant ovarian tissue samples (n = 20/group). In this proteomic analysis of the ovarian tissue, 112 proteins were detected. Based on a minimum of ≥ 1.5-fold expression difference (p-value ≤ 0.05; FDR ≤ 0.05 and PMF ≥ 79), 17 proteins were found to be upregulated while 27 were downregulated in the malignant ovarian tissue. Six of these proteins have not been previously reported in ovarian cancer. Out of these, three are upregulated while the other three are downregulated. The upregulated proteins are centrosomal protein of 290 kDa (Cep290), uncharacterized protein C1orf109 (C1orf109) and GTPase-activating Rap/Ran-GAP domain-like protein 3 (GARNL3), and the three downregulated proteins identified are actin-related protein 3 (ARP3), cytosolic carboxypeptidase 3 (AGBL3) and NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex subunit 10 (NDUFA10). This proteomic mapping not only provides data on protein profiling of ovarian cancer in Pakistani population for the first time but also reports six novel differentially expressed proteins, which have not been previously reported in ovarian cancer patients. They may serve as potential novel biomarkers after further validation for early diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer. It also provides additional data to improve existing knowledge of already reported protein ovarian cancer biomarkers.

Post-slaughter processing steps during poultry meat production contribute to Salmonella contamination and may transmit multidrug-resistant Salmonella to chicken meats and contact surfaces. This study was undertaken to identify Salmonella spp. strains isolated from chicken meats and their contact surfaces, and to determine their antibiotic resistance profiles. A total of 20 samples were collected from raw chicken meat and its contact surfaces from a shop in Pasar Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur. Identification of presumptive Salmonella colonies was conducted by using biochemical tests and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted by using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method against 11 antibiotics. Salmonella enterica Group I was only detected in seven samples. The antibiogram testing showed that all the seven Salmonella isolates (100%) were multidrug-resistant and all isolates were resistant to penicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and tetracycline. Resistance towards trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, amoxicillin and ampicillin was observed in four isolates. However, sensitivity was recorded for cephalexin, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone in six isolates. The highest multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index of 1.00 (resistance to all eleven antibiotics tested) was observed in one isolate (P2) while the lowest MAR index of 0.36 (resistance to four antibiotics tested) was observed in three isolates (CB, M2 and M3). Our results demonstrated that raw chicken and meat contact surface were a source of multidrug-resistant Salmonella and can contribute to significant health concern in Malaysia. Stringent hygienic procedure during chicken meat processing should be therefore be practised.

Published: December 2021

Trigeminal neuralgia presents as a characteristic severe painful condition that usually afflicts the area(s) innervated by the branches of the facial sensory nerves, especially the elderly females. The diagnosis can usually be made based solely on the presenting clinical signs and symptoms. Early literatures had revealed that there have always been two major means of treatment for trigeminal neuralgia; medical and surgical. Medical treatments involved systemic intake of various drugs or the topical applications of many different materials, not forgetting that bleeding and purging has been tried in the past. The introduction of anti-convulsants during the second World War had changed completely the way this painful condition was treated as this therapy later become the mainstay treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Their beneficial effects, however may not be long lasting. This review summarises the evolution of peripheral nerve injection as a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia over the last 150 years.

This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge levels of medical school students and residents about ionising radiation. The study is designed as descriptive research, and it was conducted with 369 medical school students and residents. A survey form was used in the research. A Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. In the study, 369 people were reached within the scope of the research. A total of 60.7% of the research participants were clinical medicine students (4th, 5th, 6th grade) and 39.3% were residents. A total of 42.0% of the participants of the study were male, 58.0% were women. It was found that 17.9% of the clinical medical students and 18.6% of the residents had sufficient knowledge of ionising radiation (p=0.002). A total of 87.0% of the participants in the study answered correctly that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not contain radiation and 93.5% answered correctly that ultrasonography (USG) does not contain radiation. 74.8% of the participants stated that having knowledge about ionising radiation would contribute to “protecting sensitive groups from ionising radiation” in medical practice. This ratio is 77.2% in clinical medicine students and 71.0% in residents. The study found that knowledge levels of medical faculty students and residents about ionising radiation were insufficient. Medical students and residents are recommended to be trained on radiation and the radiological requests of residents to be evaluated.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a well-known and potentially fatal complication of antipsychotic use. The elderly population, with multiple risk factors, are more vulnerable to this condition. We described a case of an 80-yearold man with bipolar disorder, previously on oral extended-release sodium valproate, aripiprazole and long-acting injectable paliperidone, who developed NMS. He presented with generalised muscle rigidity, fever, fluctuating blood pressure and elevated creatinine kinase during his hospitalisation for a manic episode. Contributing factors included old age, underlying vascular Parkinsonism, electrolyte imbalance, intercurrent lung infection with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hyperactive delirium, and repeated administration of parenteral typical antipsychotic. Antipsychotics were withheld promptly, and the patient was treated with dantrolene, bromocriptine and amantadine. His symptoms resolved after a week. He subsequently remained well with oral extended-release sodium valproate alone. Relevant clinical points are discussed. Clinical vigilance, close interdisciplinary cooperation, and prompt interventions are keys to successful to management of NMS in elderly patients.
Urban Commoning: An Assessment of Its Aesthetic Dimension
Authors: Volont Louis
Published: December 2021

The practice of urban commoning continues to tickle the imagination of activists and academics alike. Urban commoning’s aesthetic dimension, yet, has not been fully understood. This contribution seeks to fill such gap and approaches aesthetics in the literal sense: That which presents itself to sense perception. The article thus asks: To what extent may commoning practices that are dedicated to the disclosure of unheard voices (hence having an aesthetic dimension) shift urban power relations? This contribution takes its cue in Jacques Rancière’s theory of aesthetics and has the commoning experiment of Pension Almonde as its central case. Pension Almonde constituted a commons‐based, temporary occupation of a vacant social housing complex in Rotterdam, aimed specifically to undo the subordinate position of urban nomads and orphaned cultural initiatives. The article finally develops the distinction between a particular‐aesthetic dimension (making unheard voices merely perceptible) and a universal‐aesthetic dimension (shifting power relations) of urban commoning. Given the case’s lack of collective agency and external resonance, urban power relations remained in place.

The article analyzes the trends in R&D expenditures as an important condition affecting the increase in innovative activity. It is indicated that one of the factors that contributes to the growth of funding for research and development is the creation of regional funds for support of scientific, scientific, technical and innovative activities, the budget of which is formed from deductions from the proceeds of companies. It is noted that their creation contributes to the centralization of monetary resources. The purpose of the study is to identify areas for the use of funds from regional funds to support scientific, scientific, technical and innovation activities. Based on the analysis carried out, the main areas were identified to which the financial resources of the funds could be directed and the volume of their use was determined.
