Authors: Choriyan S. K.
Published: December 2021

Among the educational institutions of the Armenian city of Nakhichevan-on-Don, a special place was occupied by the Catherine women's gymnasium. This educational institution underwent an evolution from a three-year school to a female gymnasium, the appearance of which marked the manifestation of a rather conservative Armenian society towards female education. Unlike the parish schools Armenian educational institutions of the city, where the teachers were Armenians, the mentioned gymnasium was an educational institution in which a wide range of subjects were taught by teachers of various nationalities. The subjects studied here aligned with the subjects of the gymnasium program, including various languages, mathematics, physics, history, drawing, dance, etc. The city public administration of Nakhichevan-on-Don has always shown touching concern for the Catherine's female gymnasium, and all the problems that the Board of Trustees of the gymnasium faced were promptly resolved. Catherine's female gymnasium enjoyed great prestige among the local population, which was reflected in its overcrowding with students and the emergence of parallel classes.

The design of the jetty cannot be separated from the use of piles as a foundation that supports the upper structure. The pile configuration affects the strength and stability of the structure. It may consist of only vertical piles or a combination of vertical and batter piles. This study analyzes and compares 10 types of pile configurations intending to determine the best pile configuration among the types analyzed. Type 1 is a pile configuration that is in accordance with the field planning of “SJ” jetty which consists of only vertical piles and type 2 to type 10 is a pile configuration that consists of a combination of vertical and batter piles with a slope ranging from 1H:12V to 1H:4V. The best configuration is determined based on the strength (capacity ratio), stiffness (deflection that occurs), and the axial bearing capacity of the pile. The process of modeling and analyzing the pile configurations are done using Midas Gen. The results showed that pile configuration type 8 with a combination of vertical and batter piles with a slope of 1H:6V is the best configuration with the smallest deflection and the axial forces of the vertical and batter piles are almost equal.ABSTRAKDesain dermaga tidak dapat dipisahkan dari penggunaan tiang sebagai fondasi yang menyangga struktur bagian atas.

Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTThe planed duration of  construction Project X was 730 days with the upper structure targeted to be finished in July 2020. There was delay in the beginning of project implementation and the expected duration became 745 days,  the upper structure completion date pushed back to October 2020. In order to keep in line with target, one of the alternatives was to change the formwork material from conventional to aluminium. By applying this change, there was a need to study the effects to the project duration, the upper structure finish date, and the additional cost. To calculate the project duration, and the labour coefficient of productivity using the motion and time study method, the completion time of aluminium formwork work is required. From the calculation, it can be concluded that it was more effective to apply an 8-zone of formwork division in every storey,  which will result in 711 days of project duration and the upper structure finish date will be in August 2020. The costs for the aluminium formwork which consisted of materials and labour fees amounted to Rp 7,991,548,555 or higher by Rp 1,000,000,000 compared to conventional formwork. ABSTRAKTarget durasi pekerjaan konstruksi proyek X adalah 730 hari dengan target waktu selesai pekerjaan struktur atas pada bulan Juli 2020. Pada awal pelaksanaan proyek terjadi keterlambatan sehingga diperkirakan menghasilkan durasi proyek 745 hari dan waktu selesai pekerjaan struktur atas menjadi Oktober 2020. Untuk mengejar target proyek, salah satu alternatif yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan mengganti jenis material bekisting dari konvensional menjadi aluminium. Sehingga dengan penggantian tersebut perlu dilakukan studi pengaruh penggantian jenis bekisting terhadap durasi proyek, waktu selesai pekerjaan struktur atas, dan biaya pekerjaan bekisting. Untuk menghitung durasi proyek, dan koefisien tenaga kerja yang dilakukan dengan metode motion and time study diperlukan waktu pekerjaan bekisting aluminium. Dari perhitungan durasi proyek diperoleh waktu yang lebih efektif adalah dengan pembagian 8 zona yang menghasilkan durasi proyek 711 hari dan waktu selesai pekerjaan struktur atas adalah Agustus 2020. Untuk biaya pekerjaan bekisting aluminium yang terdiri dari biaya material dan biaya upah tenaga kerja didapatkan total biaya adalah Rp 7,991,548,555 atau lebih besar sekitar Rp 1,000,000,000 dibandingkan dengan bekisting konvensional.

Benedykta XVI modlitwa za Żydów w dawnej wielkopiątkowej modlitwie powszechnej – implikacje dla dialogu międzyreligijnego
Authors: Beyga Paweł
Published: December 2021

Zgodnie z wolą papieża Benedykta XVI ryt rzymski posiada dwie formy: zwyczajną i nadzwyczajną. Wielki Tydzień i Triduum Sacrum można obchodzić w nadzwyczajnej formie rytu rzymskiego. W 2008 roku papież Benedykt XVI zmienił formułę specjalnej modlitwy za żydów w liturgii Wielkiego Piątku. Artykuł ukazuje historię zmian tej modlitwy, teologię tekstu oraz implikacje teologiczne dla dialogu międzyreligijnego pomiędzy Kościołem katolickim a judaizmem. Liturgia katolicka może stanowić przestrzeń szczególną, w której wyraża się teologia. Dlatego każdy dialog teologiczny musi traktować liturgię jako bardzo ważne miejsce źródeł katolickiej doktryny i stanowiska teologicznego. Niezwykle pomocny w zrozumieniu współczesnej myśli Kościoła katolickiego na temat  żydów i judaizmu był esej emerytowanego papieża na temat relacji między Kościołem a judaizmem.
Does a denomination matter? Differences in religiosity and value systems between Catholics and Anglicans
Authors: Krok Dariusz , Cholewa Marcin
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this empirical article is to investigate differences between two Christian denominations: Catholics and Anglicans in terms of religiosity and values. Religiosity was measured within dimensions of centrality of religiosity and religious coping, while the value system contained hedonic, vital, aesthetic, truth, moral, and sacred values. In addition, potential associations between the dimensions of religiosity and values were assessed. One hundred and fifty one participants (75 Catholics and 76 Anglicans) completed three questionnaires: the Centrality of Religiosity Scale, the Brief RCOPE Scale, and the Scheler Values Scale. The results demonstrated that Catholics were characterised by higher levels of religious dimensions representing communal worship related to the sacraments, while Anglicans more strongly favoured religious dimensions reflecting an individual approach to religiosity. Catholics also obtained higher levels of hedonic and vital values than Anglicans. In addition, there were significant associations between most dimensions of religiosity and sacred values. Taken together, the findings emphasise the need for a combined study of religiosity and values which appears central to the formation of people’s religious beliefs and behaviour.
The distanced closeness. The model of ecumenical relations between Catholics and Protestants – sociological contexts
Authors: Klimski Wojciech
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the nature of ecumenical relations between Catholics and Protestants. In order to grasp their specificity, they are compared with everyday relations which are not focused on building religious unity between these Christians. This analysis served to reconstruct the model of ecumenism presented on the websites of Catholic weeklies. Additionally, a reflection has been undertaken on the possibility of supporting the ecumenical movement by these services. The analysis is conducted in the sociological perspective on the basis of empirical studies of the content of the Internet services of the Catholic weekly magazines “Gość Niedzielny” and “Niedziela”. Content analysis was applied as a research method, and the texts dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation were studied. This selection of empirical material resulted from the fact that ecumenical themes are rarely taken up in the Catholic press, and the jubilee caused greater interest in them. The sources used were also found research on interfaith relations. The analysis shows that relations between Catholics and Protestants are close and characterised by openness, but they are also marked by distance and remembrance of a difficult history. Moreover, the model of ecumenism promoted by the websites is superficial and concentrates, among other things, on its practical aspect at the expense of its spiritual and theological dimension. The websites of Catholic weekly newspapers, on the other hand, face a hitherto untapped opportunity to support the ecumenical movement.

In the Pursuit of Degrowth. Reformed Churches’ Theological Critique of Capitalism
Authors: Kantyka Przemysław
Published: December 2021

The article discusses the theological criticism of capitalism on the part of the Reformed Churches. The four main themes of criticism are: 1) immoderate accumulation of goods and capital and the commodification of man; 2) leading Third World countries to unpayable debt; 3) plundering of natural goods and environmental damage; 4) the trap of unrestrained growth. The idea of "degrowth" is proposed as an effective way out of these threats. This idea consists of moderation in the production of goods adapted in volume to real needs, respect for the environment by implementing the principles of sustainable development, and finally adopting the attitude of self-restraint as a necessary form of asceticism. "Degrowth" is therefore an idea that also brings together the ways to overcome the "economy of greed" and introduce the "economy of life".

Published: December 2021

COVID-19 has emerged as a global pandemic. There is currently a spurt of clinical research to generate evidence to treat this novel disease. The aim of the current study is to characterise the pharmacotherapeutic intervention-related clinical trials registered in India. COVID-19 clinical trials registered in India were analysed from data retrieved from Clinical Trial Registry-India, ClinicalTrials.gov and International Clinical Trial Registry Platform. Parameters such as study design, sample size, pharmacotherapeutic interventions and primary outcomes were evaluated. A total of 267 studies were screened among which 103 clinical trials were assessed for descriptive analysis. Majority of registered trials (55.3%) were in Indian System of Medicine followed by antimalarials such as hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine (10.5%) and plasma therapy (7.1%). Most commonly used study design was randomised parallel group in 63%. Open-label study was seen in 47.5%. Primary outcome was improvement of clinical symptoms in 46.6% followed by rate and time of viral load reduction in 18.2%. Maharashtra (n = 35) followed by Delhi (n = 29) had the maximum number of registered trial sites. The study gives broad perspective on the current trend of clinical trials on COVID-19 being conducted in India. The outcomes of these trials will lead to generation of valuable data for evidence-based treatment of COVID-19.

Authors: Aishwarya B. , Lakshmi Sree S. , Balasubramanian R.
Published: December 2021

Dentistry has undergone significant improvement with a lot of changing concepts involving novel surgical tools over the past two decades. Piezoelectric surgery, also popularly called as piezosurgery (PS), is a rapidly evolving technique of bone surgery which is gaining importance because of its ability to place osteotomy cuts with absolute precision and confidence, especially near the vital structures. Piezosurgical device functions with an ultrasonic frequency (25–29 KHz) resulting in microvibrations in the range of 60–200 µm/s enabling bone cutting that is secured and accurate preserving the underlying neurovascular elements along with improved visibility through bloodless surgical site and thorough debridement using internal irrigation system. Till date, PS has seen wide applications in various disciplines of medicine. In the field of dentistry, PS has emerged as a promising technical modality in bone graft harvesting, alveolar ridge expansion, sinus lift procedures, osteogenic distraction, and endodontic and periodontal surgeries. The present review addresses the efficiency of PS comparing it with the traditional dental surgical equipment. The advantages, limitations, and biological effects of PS as well its various applications in dentistry have also been discussed.

A case of recurrent cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula arising after superselective shunt occlusion and detected by venous arterial spin labeling
Authors: Sunada Hiromu , Maeoka Ryosuke , Nakagawa Ichiro , Nakase Hiroyuki , Ohnishi Hideyuki
Published: December 2021

Background:

Superselective shunt occlusion (SSSO) for cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF) avoids the risk of cranial nerve palsy, unlike entire sinus packing, but requires paying attention to recurrence. Distinguishing between true and paradoxical worsening of postoperative ophthalmic symptoms using a less-invasive modality is often difficult. Here, we report a case of true worsening of neuro-ophthalmic symptom by recurrent CSDAVF detected by venous-arterial spin labeling (ASL) on magnetic resonance imaging.

Case Description:

A 55-year-old woman with neither contributory medical history nor previous head trauma presented with neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and pulsatile tinnitus. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed CSDAVF with multiple shunted pouches. She underwent successful transvenous SSSO, but neuroophthalmic symptom worsened after SSSO and venous-ASL revealed increased signal intensity in the right superior orbital vein (SOV). DSA confirmed recurrent CSDAVF and additional transvenous embolization was performed. Neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and venous-ASL hyperintensity on SOV improved postoperatively.

Conclusion:

Venous-ASL is noninvasive and seems useful for detecting true worsening of neuro-ophthalmic symptoms of recurrent CSDAVF.
Case report: Favorable outcomes of spinal cord stimulation in complex regional pain syndrome Type II consistent with thermography findings
Authors: Oda Kazunori , Morishita Takashi , Shibata Shiho , Tanaka Hideaki , Hirai Norimasa , Inoue Tooru
Published: December 2021

Background:

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic pain disorder that develops as a consequence of trauma to one or more limbs. Despite the availability of multiple modalities to diagnose CRPS, a gold standard technique for definitive diagnosis is lacking. Moreover, there are limited reports describing the use of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to treat CRPS Type II, given the low prevalence of this condition. Herein, we present the case of a patient with CRPS Type II with novel thermography findings who underwent SCS for pain management after an Achilles tendon repair surgery.

Case Description:

A 38-year-old woman was referred to our institute because of chronic left leg pain after Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery. Her case was diagnosed as CRPS Type II based on the International Association for the Study of Pain diagnostic criteria. After an epidural block, thermography showed a significant increase in the body surface temperature of the foot on the observed side. She was subsequently treated with SCS, following which her pain ameliorated. She reported no pain flare-ups or new neurological deficits over 2 years of postoperative follow-up assessments.

Conclusion:

SCS could be a useful surgical treatment for medication refractory CRPS Type II as supported by our thermography findings. We may refine surgical indication for permanent implantation of SCS with the presented method.

Published: December 2021

Background:

Primary spinal glioblastoma multiforme with multifocal leptomeningeal enhancement is rarely diagnosed or documented. We describe a rare case of multifocal spinal isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type glioblastoma with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in an elderly male presenting with a chronic subdural hematoma, progressive myelopathy, and communicating hydrocephalus.

Case Description:

A 77-year-old male with a medical history of an acoustic schwannoma, anterior cranial fossa meningioma, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura presented with right-sided weakness after repeated falls. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine demonstrated a left-sided subdural hematoma, leptomeningeal enhancement of the brain and skull base, ventricles, and the cranial nerves, and along with florid enhancement of the leptomeninges from the cervicomedullary junction to the cauda equina. Most pertinent was focal thickening of the leptomeninges at T1 and T6 with mass effect on the spinal cord. A T6 laminectomy with excisional biopsy of the lesion was planned and completed. Findings were significant for glioblastoma the World Health Organization Grade IV IDH 1 wild type of the thoracic spinal cord. Subsequently, his mental status declined, and he developed progressive hydrocephalus which required cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Unfortunately, the patient had minimal improvement in his neurological exam and unfortunately died 2 months later.

Conclusion:

In a review of the limited literature describing similar cases of primary spinal glioblastoma, the prognosis of this aggressive tumor remains unfavorable, despite aggressive treatment options. The purpose of this report is to increase awareness of this rare condition as a potential differential diagnosis in patients presenting with multifocal invasive spinal lesions.

This scientific article is devoted to the existing problems of adapting the legislation of Ukraine to the legislation of the European Union, which significantly slow down this process, and, accordingly, become one of the obstacles on the way of Ukraine's inclusion in such an integration interstate association as the European Union. The paper examines the legal grounds that led to the implementation of the provisions of European legislation and the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine (on the strategic course of the state towards gaining full membership of Ukraine in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization)" dated 07.02.2019. The article also analyzes the key elements of successful adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to EU legislation. The work reveals the essence of the concept of "adaptation of the legislation of Ukraine and the EU", regarding which there is no uniform approach to its definition in the jurisprudence of Ukraine and, as a result, there is a discussion between specialists in this area of jurisprudence at the doctrinal level. The content of the concept "acquis communautaire (acquis)" is analyzed by indicating the features of this legal system of the European Union, which significantly complicate the process of adapting legislation. The article highlights the main problems that require urgent solutions for the successful course of the process of approximation of Ukrainian legislation to the EU legal system. The emphasis is made on the fact that the adoption of Ukrainian legislation in accordance with EU law does not mean the proper functioning of the legal mechanisms of the state, since it is also necessary to adapt existing regulatory legal acts. This article proposes the implementation of specific types of reforms, without the introduction of which the adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to the legislation of the European Union will be impossible. The essence and main directions of reforming, which provide for the elimination of the origins of the problems of harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with the legal system of the European Union, have been determined.

EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO WORK IN CONDITIONS OF ACTUAL GENDER INEQUALITY
Authors:   Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Krasiuk Tetiana
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to gender inequality in the world of work, which is not the least important issue. It examines the problems of developing measures to prevent gender discrimination. Recently, there has been considerable activity in the development of provisions in legislation to prevent such inequality and to address the above-mentioned problems. However, the question remains as to how to realize these declared opportunities and rights in labour relations. In practice, a different situation can be observed. Women are less likely than men to be employed in high-paying jobs and to be promoted. Most employers continue to give preference to men because of the risk of women interrupting their working and losing their qualifications due to childbirth or caring for them in the event of illness. Women are the first to be fired when redundancies occur and are forced to seek employment in the informal sector of the economy, to perform low-status, low-paid jobs without the social guarantees laid down by the State or to seek employment abroad, exposed and humiliated while neglecting and educating their children [1]. Gender equality is a central indicator of the development of each country. In order to deal with some of the issuesrelated to gender inequality in employment in this article, taking into account international experience and recommendations, the following possible ways to address this issue were identified, such as the specification and increase of offences, imposition of forced measures in case of violation of the principle of non-discrimination based on gender. Gender inequality has also been recognized at the international level. The article analyses international standards and recommendations and identifies ways to address this issue in selected European countries. Changes in the regulation of gender relations are taking place through the introduction of state programmes to cope with gender inequality. Unfortunately, most of the provisions of these programmes are declarative. Gender inequality and socio-economic and political discrimination against women cannot be addressed by State reforms alone. A change in social attitude and the achievement of a balance between guaranteeing, and ensuring benefits may lead to the elimination of discrimination in the labour market.
Mechanistic insight into deep holes from interband transitions in Palladium nanoparticle photocatalysts

Photocatalysis of metallic nanoparticles, especially utilizing hot electrons generated from localized surface plasmon resonance, is of widespread interest. However, the role of hot holes, especially generated from interband transitions, has not been emphasized in exploring the photocatalytic mechanism yet. In this study, a photocatalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction using mesoporous Pd nanoparticle photocatalyst served as a model reaction to study the role of hot holes by accurately measuring the quantum yields of the photocatalyst. The quantum yields increase under shorter wavelength excitations and correlate to the “deeper” energy of the holes from the Fermi level. Our mechanistic study suggests that deeper holes in the d-band can catalyze the oxidative addition of aryl halide R-X onto Pd0 at the surface of nanoparticles to form the R-PdII-X complex, the rate-determining step of the established catalytic cycle. We pointed out that this deep hole mechanism should deserve as much attention as the well-known hot electron transfer mechanism in previous studies.
A simple fragment-based method for van der Waals corrections over density functional theory

Published: December 2021

Modelling intermolecular noncovalent interactions between large molecules remains a challenge for electron structure theory community. This is due to the high cost of calculating electron correlation energy. Fragment-based methods usually fare well in reducing the cost of computations in such systems while quantum Drude oscillators turn out to be a good model for van der Waals interactions. In this paper, we have developed a simple yet effective method based on oscillator methods for calculating van der Waals interactions between molecular fragments as a correction to low-cost DFT functional PBE. We have tested our method on S66X8 with significant success.

Authors: Barragán Monrroy Roberto , Gonzalez Osorio Betty , Capa Salazar Kimberly
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar los riesgos físicos a los que está expuesto el personal que cumple labores en los procesos productivos e industriales correspondientes al sector maderero. Se identificó en las industrias dos áreas clave del desempeño del recurso humano para la evaluación higiénica: en las áreas de cepillado y de aserrío existen máquinas y herramientas que se encuentran en constante funcionamiento, cubriendo toda la jornada laboral. Los métodos investigativos considerados fueron de observación, campo, cuantitativo, entrevistas y metodologías disponibles por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene en el Trabajo de España, complementadas con guías técnicas de ruido, calculando el nivel de exposición diario equivalente, incertidumbre y atenuación; de iluminación, realizando las mediciones en ocho puntos clave tomando en cuenta los valores legales en función del sector industrial; y de vibraciones, calculando los valores de aceleración y exposición diaria. Los niveles de riesgo encontrados en las evaluaciones cumplen con los límites legales establecidos en las normativas vigentes a excepción de las vibraciones, que afectan al sistema manobrazo y representan situaciones de riesgo considerables para los trabajadores.

Rice Bunnies vs. the River Crab: China’s Feminists, #MeToo, and Networked Authoritarianism
Authors: Guttenberg Vlady
Published: December 2021

As censorship algorithms for digital communications evolve in China, so do netizens’ evasion techniques. In the last two decades, strategic users have employed the language of satire to slip sensitive content past censors in the form of euphemisms or analogies, with messages ranging from lighthearted frustration to wide scale resistance against repressive government policies. In recent years activists have used spoofs to discuss controversial subjects, including the president, violent arrests by the Domestic Security Department, and even the #MeToo movement. In addition to providing an outlet for criticism and free speech, spoofs can also be a powerful organizational tool for activists in authoritarian societies through their ability to facilitate decentralized, personalized, and flexible connective action. This paper investigates how feminists used spoofs for social mobilization throughout China’s #MeToo movement while evaluating potential frameworks for measuring activists’ success against the media censorship and political repression of a networked authoritarian regime.
Law and Order in Postcolonial Racial Cities
Authors: Muniz Bruno , Coelho Luana Xavier
Published: December 2021

This work analyzes two class actions contesting the racial violence of Rio de Janeiro’s state police during operations in majority black neighborhoods, assessing both the narratives and social mobilization denouncing black genocide and the role of legal thinking in deviating or denying racism. The analysis of this case reveals that, on the one hand, spatial, racial and juridical structures - established by the racial colonial project and perpetuating in the legacy of racial slavery - create the conditions for genocidal acts to be produced as a long-lasting process. While on the other hand, legal knowledge sustains the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part” a specific group, which is fundamental to the crime of genocide. Considering that black genocide results from institutional racism, the conditions allowing it to happen are not just associated with intent. Black genocide is implemented through the normal functioning of justice institutions, as we discuss in the case study. In this context, black death is central to sustaining power relations, normalized by the use of racial stereotypes for the racialization of space, creating zones of dehumanization as criminality. Denialist discourses use this condition in perpetuity, to normalize genocide and extra-judicial killings. Nonetheless, the concept of institutional racism enables us to understand that genocide can also result from day-to-day decisions taken by politicians, legal professionals, and institutions.
