Complicated coronavirus infection occurs as a systemic disease. Although the target organs of this new pathogen for the human population are the lungs and the heart. This virus does not leave an organ or system of the human body intact. Apart from the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, which plays a leading role in the development of the pathological process, the hepatobiliary, urinary, nervous, endocrine, gastrointestinal systems, including the skin and its appendages are most often affected by this disease. Even the musculoskeletal system is not left untouched. All affected organs and systems are the root of complications occurring in the convalescent period for patients which sometimes exceed six months. This is the main argument for conducting consistent, targeted monitoring of the so-called Post-Covid period. The aim is to prevent the chronicity of the pathology that forms a true Post-Covid syndrome and the subsequent disability of patients with a complicated coronavirus infection. The correct therapeutic approach in all patients with a complicated coronavirus infection is extremely important for shortening the Post-Covid convalescence period and reducing the consequences of Post-Covid syndrome. In this article we comment on the main strategic approaches in the treatment of complicated coronavirus infection with the belief that are the key to success in the treatment of the acute stage of the disease and minimizing complications in the convalescent period.
Fleksible skoleskemaers fleksibiliseringer
Authors: Sauzet Sofie
Published: November 2023

I denne artikel ser jeg nærmere på skoleskema- et som central styringsteknologi, for den måde skoler gør skole på. Jeg argumenterer først for, at den danske folkeskolereform i 2013/2014 markerede en afgørende uddannelsespolitisk ambition for en særlig ‘fleksibilisering’ af skoleskemaet. Derefter ser jeg nærmere på 2 skolelederes designs af fleksible skoleskemaer, og skoleskemaernes måder at fleksibilisere elementer i skolen, som centralt redskab for forandring af skolen. I skoleledernes design af fleksible skoleskemaer kommer fleksibilitet til udtryk på forskellige måder, der knytter orga- nisering og ledelse af skolen sammen med for- skellige medarbejderidealer, faglighedsidealer, samarbejdsidealer og idealer for børns læring. Centralt for forandringsambitionerne er, at de skal virkeliggøres af skolens medarbejdere. Til dette formål skaber designet af de flek- sible skoleskemaer passende organisatoriske positioner for medarbejderne, med tilknyttede kritikker af og idealer for deres samarbejde, arbejde og selv-arbejde. Artiklen spørger hertil hvordan vi snakker om skoleskemaet, og det, forskellige skoleskemaer beskrives at skulle gøre for skolen? Og om det samme ideal om fleksibilitet bliver til forskellige ikke italesatte forventninger til passende praksis, der måske, måske ikke, kan gøres til genstand for dialog og dermed også kritik?
Les générateurs de scénarios économiques : de la conception à la mesure de la qualité
Authors: Faleh Alaeddine , Planchet Frédéric , Rullière Didier
Published: November 2023

Dans cet article, nous mettons en évidence les principales composantes d’un générateur de scenarios économiques (GSE) que ce soit au niveau de sa conception théorique ou au niveau de sa mise en oeuvre pratique. Le choix de ces composantes est supposé être lié à la vocation finale du générateur de scenarios économiques que ce soit en tant qu’outil d’évaluation des produits financiers (pricing) ou en tant qu’outil de projection et de gestion des risques. Par ailleurs, nous développons une étude sur certains indicateurs de mesure de la performance du GSE comme un outil en amont du processus de prise de décision : à savoir la stabilité et l’absence de biais. Une application numérique permettant d’illustrer ces différents points est présentée à la fin.
Que coûte le bruit en milieu de travail au régime d’indemnisation ? Une perspective québécoise !
Authors: Girard Serge André , Leroux Tony , Quesnel Jean-Patrice , Courteau Marilène , Picard Michel , Turcotte Fernand , Larocque Richard
Published: November 2023

L’objet de cette étude est de documenter le coût du bruit intense en milieu de travail pour l’entreprise, sous l’angle des méfaits du bruit sur la sécurité du travail. Le nombre d’accidents attribuables (risque attribuable) au bruit (≥ 90 dBA) et
à la perte d’audition acquise en milieu de travail (≥ 16 dB HL) a été calculé au sein d’un échantillon de 57 732 travailleurs des deux sexes ayant cumulé 45 375 accidents au cours des 5 années suivant un examen de dépistage audiométrique
en milieu de travail. L’approche utilisée est basée sur les déboursés versés par la Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail du Québec (CSST), c’est-à-dire : les frais médicaux, les frais d’indemnisation et ceux liés à la réadaptation.
Le coût moyen d’un accident est établi à partir des déboursés associés à des accidents survenus à l’ensemble des travailleurs et travailleuses québécois au cours de trois années de référence, sans égard à leur exposition au bruit.

Les analyses ont permis de quantifier le nombre d’accidents attribuables au bruit ou à la perte d’audition acquise en milieu de travail ou à l’effet combiné des deux, de calculer le coût moyen d’un accident et, de là, d’estimer le coût des accidents
dus au bruit pour le régime d’indemnisation. Les résultats permettent d’estimer que les méfaits du bruit à la sécurité pour l’ensemble des quelque 400 000
travailleurs québécois exposés au bruit en milieu de travail coûtent au régime d’indemnisation entre 20 et 27M $ annuellement. Ces sommes qui s’ajoutent aux
déboursés annuels associés à la surdité professionnelle (8,6M $), permettent d’apprécier à une plus juste valeur le véritable fardeau financier du bruit en milieu de travail et montrent la pertinence de considérer la sécurité dans l’évaluation des
coûts du bruit.
L’assurance des pertes d’exploitation,
cette méconnue
Authors: Moreau Remi
Published: November 2023

Les assurances des biens des entreprises ne couvrent que les dommages directement subis par celles-ci. Les pertes indirectes qui résultent de dommages directs ne sont pas assurées. Elles font l’objet, suivant une appréciation distincte du risque, d’une protection spéciale : l’assurance des pertes d’exploitation. Dans la première partie de cet article, l’auteur décrit la nature, l’étendue et le fonctionnement de cette assurance ainsi que les principaux formulaires disponibles, notamment celui d’indemniser l’assuré de ses pertes d’exploitation pendant la période de temps nécessaire pour réparer ou remplacer les biens détruits ou endommagés ou encore pendant la période durant laquelle les résultats de l’entreprise, après avoir repris ses opérations, sont affectés par les effets du sinistre. Dans
la deuxième partie, il décrit l’assurance des pertes d’exploitation subies par une entreprise en raison d’un sinistre subi par une autre entreprise indépendante (par exemple, un fournisseur ou un client important).
Drame sur l’Everest le 10 mai 1996 : la rencontre d’un aléa météorologique et d’une
vulnérabilité organisationnelle
Authors: Soulé Bastien
Published: November 2023

Le 10 mai 1996, plusieurs expéditions tentaient d’atteindre le sommet de l’Everest
quand une violente tempête est survenue, entraînant un bilan humain particulièrement
lourd (12 décès). Après avoir circonscrit l’analyse à deux expéditions
commerciales nord-américaines, puis justifié le recours à une perspective d’analyse
systémique, il a été possible de relater l’enchevêtrement des facteurs s’étant
conjugués et ayant contribué à la vulnérabilité de ces expéditions. L’aléa météorologique
s’est en effet combiné à des contextes organisationnels spécifiques,
fruits de multiples décisions qui ont initié la séquence accidentelle, puis altéré la
gestion de la crise. Il apparaît notamment qu’au sein des expéditions, des objectifs
divergents, parfois contradictoires avec la sécurité des ascensionnistes, étaient
poursuivis ; par ailleurs, certains accords et règles n’ont pas été scrupuleusement
rappelés et respectés ; l’hétérogénéité des niveaux techniques et de l’expérience
de la très haute montagne est également en cause, tout comme est perceptible une
forme de banalisation des dangers inhérents à la fréquentation de l’Everest. Le
choix de développer une approche systémique du drame semble pertinent : du fait
de l’interdépendance entre des micro-événements a priori mineurs et déconnectés,
la catastrophe est devenue au fil des heures de moins en moins évitable.

Le contact visuel à la traversée d’une intersection par les piétons à Montréal et à Toronto
Authors: Thouez Jean-Pierre , Bergeron Jacques , Rannou André , Bourbeau Robert , Bussière Yves
Published: November 2023

Le contact visuel est un des signes de l’interaction entre un piéton et un automobiliste. C’est une fonction importante de l’attention lorsque le piéton se prépare à traverser la voie publique à une intersection.

Cette recherche présente les résultats d’une enquête menée au printemps 2001 sur le comportement des piétons à Montréal et à Toronto. Les résultats montrent que le contact visuel est plus fréquent à Montréal par rapport à Toronto selon le genre et les groupes d’âge et il y a aussi des différences significatives, entre les deux villes, du comportement du piéton au départ et durant la traversée d’une intersection. La variable dépendante, dans les modèles de régression logistique, est contact/non contact visuel. Au regard du modèle comportemental, il y a 1,63 fois plus de chance à Montréal et 2,12 fois plus à Toronto d’observer un contact visuel lorsque le piéton a un comportement non respectueux des règles de sécurité routière. De plus, la probabilité est plus faible d’observer un contact visuel lorsque le piéton montréalais ne traverse pas à un passage piétonnier. Par contre, la probabilité d’un contact visuel est plus élevée lorsque le piéton torontois n’observe pas un respect strict des règles pour traverser à une intersection.

Pour le modèle environnemental, les résultats indiquent que le piéton montréalais a plus de chance d’effectuer un contact visuel lorsqu’il traverse une intersection dans une zone résidentielle, dans une rue de trois voies et plus, en présence d’un feu standard et à une intersection située à la périphérie du centre-ville. À Toronto, le modèle extrait les deux dernières variables du modèle montréalais et, en plus, les flux de véhicules. La discussion souligne l’importance du concept d’attention pour expliquer le contact visuel du piéton dans un contexte environnemental.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this work is to elaborate the possibilities of strengthening the attractiveness of lighthouse tourism in the Adriatic. This specialized tourist offer is recognized in academic circles as well. Despite its unique attractiveness, lighthouse tourism has experienced stagnation in recent years, requiring innovative strategies for repositioning. The first ten years of successful development and growth were followed by stagnation and a decline in tourist visits. The change in the positive trend followed the suspension of promotional activities for the Stone Lights project. Noticing the problem of stagnation in the number of tourists visiting lighthouses, the authors pose a research question on possible activities to increase the attractiveness of this type of tourist offer.

The methodology assumes exploratory research and theoretical analysis of the repositioning of the specialized tourist product. The authors set the framework for the primary research, which they conducted on a random sample of tourists who stayed in the lighthouses on the Adriatic Sea in July 2022. This paper explores the potential of expanding the content of lighthouse tourism offer by including a diverse range of experiences and activities to attract a wider audience. Findings - the authors present the findings of the conducted research, based on which a model for repositioning lighthouse tourism in the Adriatic was developed and argued.

In an argumentative and critical discourse, the authors present the causes of the current state of lighthouse tourism and point out the possible consequences if the proposed activities are not implemented.
Analysis of Factors Influencing Ship's Maneuvering Times
Authors: Özkulluk Irfan , Nas Selçuk
Published: November 2023

Ship maneuvering is like a musical piece where many internal and external factors must be managed simultaneously in a synchronized manner. While the prolongation of the maneuvering time increases hydrocarbon emission and operating costs, its acceleration threatens the safety of the maneuver. In the literature, there are many studies on the factors affecting the ship maneuver, but the number of studies on the effect of the factors influencing the ship maneuvering time is insufficient. This paper deals with the factors affecting berthing and departure maneuvers of ships in port areas on maneuvering time. The effects of environmental factors, ship structures, and human factors on the maneuvering time were examined separately. Contrary to popular belief, it has been revealed that the wind speed and direction, which are environmental factors, do not affect the maneuvering time in general. On the other hand, it has been found that length over all (LOA) and gross tonnage (GT), which are structural features of the ships, affect the maneuvering time. In human factors, it has been proven that the mean of the maneuvering times performed by the maritime pilots at the same jetty differs significantly from each other. In addition, variable regression analysis was performed in order to explain the relationship between ship’s LOA and maneuvering time. For the purpose of this study, 3,998 ship maneuver data obtained from a pilotage organization were examined.

Published: November 2023

Context and objective: Acne affects approximately 80% of adolescents and impacts their quality of life. Our Objective was to: describe the quality of life of acne-prone schoolchildren in Kinshasa. Materials and method: This were a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in schools in Kinshasa for 2 months. Every student aged from 10 to 19 years, regularly enrolled, who gave their verbal consent and for whom parental consent was obtained, were included. Sampling was random at 4 degrees. The ECLA and CADI grids were used to assess acne severity and quality of life. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. Associations between variables were assessed using Pearson’s chi-square test. A value of p < 0.05 was considered as the threshold of statistical significance. Results: The prevalence of acne was of 58%, with a female predominance (54%) and a sex ratio of 1.2. The average age was 15.3±2.2 years, with extremes ranging from 11 to 19 years. 53.4% of the students had a heredofamilial history of acne. The mean age at onset was 13.1±1.9 years. The mean age at menarche was 11.5±3.3 years. Inflammatory lesions were numerous on the face (96.6%). 10.3% of students had severe acne. The total score of the ECLA grid varied from 2 – 19, with an average of 7.3 and a median of 7. The quality of life was slightly impaired in 87.7% of the cases without being linked to sex but associated with acne severity (p = 0.022). The high frequency of severe acne was observed in students with a moderate quality of life (27.8%). Conclusion: The alteration of the quality of life of a student with acne is effective in schools in Kinshasa, without proportionality with the seriousness of the pathology. The dermatologist to resort to the use of the ECLA and CADI grids for a comprehensive management of juvenile acne.

Introduction: Depending on their location and size, keloids often pose functional, aesthetic and even psychological problems. Black Africans and Asians are more prone to keloids, whereas they are rare in whites and albinos. Bleomycin has been reported as a means of treating keloids, but to our knowledge no study in black Africa has looked at this molecule in the treatment of keloids. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bleomycin in the treatment of new keloids by intracheloid infiltration in subjects with phenotype VI, who are the most predisposed to this condition. Material and Methods: From 1 January to 31 December 2021, we identified 99 cases, 27 of whom met our inclusion criteria. They received intra-lesional bleomycin spaced 2 weeks apart or more for some with clinical parameters to evaluate the treatment. We judged the evolution: satisfactory, when pruritus and/or pain disappeared, the keloid mass subsided; more or less satisfactory, when pruritus and/or pain decreased, the keloid mass subsided; unsatisfactory, when pruritus and/or pain persisted, the keloid mass remained unchanged. Our data were processed and analysed using Epi Info 7.2.2.6. Results: The mean age of the patients was 30.70 years, with extremes of 2 and 85 years. The sex ratio was 1.25. The major functional sign was isolated pruritus in 66.66%. The consistency of the lesions was hard in 11%. The median number of infiltrations was 3, with extremes of 1 and 5. The local effects observed were pain on infiltration in 92% and necrosis in 77.77% of cases. No systemic effects were noted. Treatment efficacy was satisfactory in 66.66% of cases. Conclusions: Although bleomycin is less available in our countries and less accessible to patients, it could be proposed as a treatment for keloids, although a large study would be needed to evaluate it in large keloids.

African histoplasmosis is a rare deep mycosis caused by two varieties of Histoplasma capsulatum (capsulatum and duboisii). We report a case of histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent child. 6-year-old female patient, hospitalized for poor general condition, fluctuating inflammatory swelling of the lower limb evolving for 4 months. The clinical examination revealed in an altered and febrile patient, papulo-nodular lesions of variable size, fluctuating in places, disseminated umbilical predominantly on the trunk, the root of the upper and lower limbs. There were also axillary and inguinal lymphadenopathy and osteo-articular involvement. X-ray of the right lower limb revealed osteomyelitis. Histopathology of the biopsied nodule confirmed African histoplasmosis. The rarity of African histoplasmosis in our country corroborates current data from the literature, however this could also be due to an underdiagnosis often influenced by self-medication.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting almost 1% of children, starting the first months of life. In some journals, this prevalence is reported to be between 0.4 and 0.7%. We are reporting a case of childhood psoriasis in a 2-year-old patient. The case was observed in the Dermatology unit at the Hubert Koutoukou Maga National University Hospital of Cotonou (CNHU-HKM). The case clinical description will allow us to show the difficulties in establishing a diagnosis and how little are the treatment choices available in our clinical settings.
Assessment of the activities of local self-government bodies in the field of fire safety: current problems and ways to solve them

Published: November 2023

The object of the study is the powers of local self-government bodies. The subject of the study is an assessment of the effectiveness of the activities of local self-government bodies both in general and in the field of fire safety in municipalities. In the article, the central place is given to the issues of evaluating the activities of local self-government bodies as elements of the control system for the implementation of the powers assigned to them. The authors consider the legal principles of the organization of local self-government of the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating this subject area. Based on the methods of system analysis, the authors have identified a range of problematic issues that may arise when the supervisory authority evaluates the implementation by local self-government authorities of the ability to organize primary fire safety measures. The analysis of the provisions of the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, which consolidate both the general powers of local self-government bodies and the list of powers in the field of fire safety, is carried out. The scientific research devoted to the assessment of local self-government bodies and improving the efficiency of their work is considered. The main conclusions of the study suggest that the studied materials do not take into account the indicators of ensuring primary fire safety measures, which increases the likelihood of formalization of the results and violations of the mechanism for improving the efficiency of the subjects of legal relations. There is no regulation of the list of measures that make up the implementation of such authority as ensuring primary fire safety measures in the system complex. The novelty of the research is to find a way to solve the problem of evaluating the activities of local governments in the field of fire safety in the territory of the municipality. A special contribution of the authors is the systematization of the powers of local self-government bodies on fire safety, taking into account the nature of the activities carried out, the definition of a list of criteria for evaluating activities, taking into account factors that can influence its provision, the search for methodological approaches to evaluation. The necessity of developing a methodology for assessing local self-government bodies in the field of fire safety is determined.
On the controversial issues of the use of the term "sect" in legal acts (on the example of the Central Federal District legislation)
Authors: Sekretaryov Roman Viktorovich
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is the use of the definition of "sect", which is absent in federal legislation, in relation to religious organizations registered in accordance with the established procedure in the legal acts of the Central Federal District. The object of the research is scientific articles by foreign and domestic scientists on the subject, legal acts of the Central Federal District. The author examines in detail modern scientific and theoretical research in the field of destructive religiosity and a vast array of legal acts in which the term "sect" is used. Particular attention is paid to hypothetical problems that can lead to broad discretion of subjects endowed with public powers when trying to introduce rather religious, sociological (and often just everyday) term "sect" into legal discourse. Methodological basis of the research: analysis, synthesis, formal-logical and comparative-legal methods in their systemic interrelation, as well as the consistent practical experience of the author of the article as a teacher of religious studies, and an employee of one of the executive authorities of Primorsky Krai. The main conclusions of the study are the statement of the unsatisfactory experience of the implementation of the term "sect" in the legal field of the subjects of the Russian Federation included in the Central Federal District; the formulation of recommendations to eliminate these shortcomings of legal regulation. The author's special contribution to the study of the applicable conceptual apparatus is that there are practically no similar studies in the scientific legal literature. Representatives of other humanities disciplines use this term as a matter of course, but their ideas are speculative, very poorly correlated with legal reality. In a state governed by the rule of law, it is hardly justified to arbitrarily label "sect" on various religious organizations, even relatively small ones.

Authors: Konstantinov Vladimir Nikolaevich , Shokhirev Vadim Vladimirovich
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is the method of using paintball and airsoft weapons in the rifle (fire) training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The purpose of the study is to develop and scientifically substantiate shooting exercises using paintball and airsoft weapons to increase the fire readiness of students of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The study revealed the problem of increasing the level of fire preparedness of graduates of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which can be solved by using paintball and airsoft weapons in the rifle (fire) training of students. This will increase and improve their skills and high-speed shooting skills, taking into account the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs. A special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the development of shooting exercises and methodological methods for their implementation, since the existing exercises of the Shooting Course do not fully meet the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs. The scientific novelty lies in the development and scientific justification of the methodology for the use of paintball and airsoft weapons in the training process of fire training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The practical significance lies in the fact that the developed shooting exercises using paintball and airsoft weapons will bring the tasks of the educational process closer to the real conditions for the use of weapons by employees of the RF Department of Internal Affairs, choose the appropriate means and methods of training, as well as the amount of physical and mental exertion. The results of the study can be used in the training process of fire training of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
On the issue of increasing the effectiveness of the activity of the investigator in the study of the situation and the mechanism of traffic crimes
Authors: Frolov Vyacheslav Vladimirovich
Published: November 2023

The object of the study is crimes against road safety and the operation of transport, as well as the activities of the subject of the investigation aimed at fully establishing all the circumstances of a traffic crime. The subject of the study is the regularities of the situation and mechanism of this group of crimes and the regularities of the investigator's activities to establish them during the investigation. When forming conclusions, the author was guided by the analysis of the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, other laws regulating the investigation of this group of crimes, the theoretical foundations of criminalistics, materials of investigative and judicial practice, in addition, he used the results of a survey of 137 full-time employees of investigative bodies in the Krasnodar Territory who have practical experience in investigating crimes against road safety and operation transport. The author examines in detail the specifics of the investigator's establishment of the situation and mechanism of a traffic crime, with special attention paid to the issues of detecting and obtaining information about the incident recorded by technical means of objective control. The authors note that when investigating a crime against road safety and the operation of transport, a competent study by the investigator of the situation and the mechanism of the crime is a key component of his cognitive and certifying activities to establish the truth in a criminal case. The conducted research made it possible to identify certain shortcomings allowed during the detection, removal and fixation of traces, during the inspection of the road network, at the scene of the incident, the author also notes the low level of use of information technologies by investigators when establishing the mechanism of a traffic crime. The authors suggest ways to eliminate these shortcomings: in order to obtain objective data about the various circumstances of the accident, it is necessary to use more actively the information recorded by the technical means of objective control, to implement in investigative activities a program for computer modeling of the mechanism of an accident.
Structural and semantic analysis of Russian and Chinese phraseological units with the numeral "three"
Authors: Efimenko Alexander Evgenievich , Efimenko Nikolai Aleksandrovich
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a comparative investigation of the metaphorical semantics of the numeral "three" in Russian and Chinese phraseological units (PU). The aim of the study is to identify similarities and differences in the meaning of the number "three" in these PUs and to determine the national peculiarities of their usage. The authors apply a lexico-semantic synchronous approach, focusing on the semantic analysis of the number "three" in terms of its metaphorical lexical meanings and lexical-syntactic groups indicating quantity. The study confirms that symbolic meanings of the number "three" in Russian and Chinese PUs sometimes coincide, yet there are distinct national specificities. In Russian PUs, the number "three" often carries the meaning of "more than the norm," reflecting the transition from ancient to modern linguistic worldview. In Chinese PUs, the meaning "less than the norm" is entirely absent, but the overall usage of the number "three" is more ambiguous, often serving to generalize similar characteristics. The research findings have practical implications for cross-linguistic communication and cultural understanding. The authors conclude that Russian PUs with the number "three" conveying the meaning of "more than the norm" are prevalent in contemporary speech, while those with the meaning of "norm" have become outdated. The analysis of evaluative language in Chinese PUs shows a preference for metaphors related to objects or concepts rather than groups of people. The study underscores the significance of cultural context in the analysis of the symbolic semantics of the number "three" in phraseology and demonstrates the potential of contrastive linguistics in better understanding linguistic peculiarities and cultural nuances.
Features of modern popular science discourse
Authors: Gavrish Alesya Dmitrievna , Gulyaeva Evgeniya Vyacheslavovna , Kompaneeva Liudmila Gennadievna
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the study of modern popular science literature in order to identify some lexical and stylistic features, as well as to figure out the specificity of the methodology of nowadays scientific and popular information presentation. The authors pay special attention to studying of undeclared implicit discursive elements of popular science texts. Printed versions of books with a total volume of 196,6 conventional printing sheets serve as a material of the study. The analysis of the material showed that the authors of popular science books try to increase the degree of trust of the audience in a variety of ways, for example, by making the process of communication with the reader more intimate, by demonstrating the proximity to official academic community and by positioning the produced text as scientifically significant. One of the most typical phenomena that has been noted in the popular science texts is making some lexical units (including terms) hypersubjective in relation to the context (and their future use in a variety of situations) together with the creation of implicit ideological pressure, as well as with the persistent demonstration of the universality of these lexical units. In all the texts that have been analysed, the unobvious discourse-forming telelogy is noted, which is a tool for soft promotion of meaning-forming and partly ideologically conditioned ways of understanding various facts. Typical of the analysed popular science literature is the presence of reduced argumentation with unjustified usage of the third-party axiomatics and the extension of the argumentation base to the interdisciplinary junction. The use of primitivized argumentation targeted for a dilettante philistine level is noted. It is not uncommon to omit the existing scientific and relevant links and patterns, or to interpret them in a way that does not contradict the information certainty projected in the text. It is also possible to note a distracting informational redundancy, which the authors of the article consider as one of the ways of splitting the text, deliberately created by the addressee of the text.
"Erast Krutolobov's Journey to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the 30s of the XIX century" by V. Novodvorsky as a parody of the sentimental narrative model of travelogue
Authors: Konstantinova Natalia Vladimirovna
Published: November 2023

The subject of the study is a parody text of the famous philologist, author of the fundamental monograph on the "Letters of the Russian traveler" N. M. Karamzin, V. V. Sipovsky (pseudonym – V. Novodvorsky), little known to a wide range of readers, "Erast Krutolobov's Journey to Moscow and St. Petersburg in the 30s of the XIX century" as a parody of the narrative model of travelogue. The purpose of the study is to determine the specifics of the description of the sentimental narrative model of the travelogue in the work of V. Novodvorsky (V. V. Sipovsky), to characterize the author's reflection on the way of organizing the narrative in a parody text about the journey. The theoretical basis of the research was the works of Yu. N. Tynyanov, A. Shenle, V. M. Guminsky, O. V. Kublitskaya, Yu. V. Shatin, I. V. Banach devoted to the theory of parody and the analysis of the narrative structure of parody travelogues. To understand the specifics of V.V. Sipovsky's parody of the sentimental narrative model of travelogue, the following research methods are used: biographical, structural-typological, historical-literary. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a special material that expresses the point of view of the author-philologist, researcher of the "Karamzin canon" in the genre of travelogue, which allows us to discover the "common places" of the sentimental tradition, significantly modified in the 30s of the XIX century under the influence of new literary trends. The analysis of the ways of self-expression of the writer-literary critic in the process of creating a parody reveals research reflection not only at the level of literary play, but also through modeling the narrative structure of the text, in which not only the stages of the journey of the protagonist, Erast Krutolobov, "the event of the journey" are parodied, but also the ambivalence of ideas about the "event of telling" about the journey is expressed, contrasted sentimental narrative model and realistic.

The object of the study is the university quarter as a socio-cultural phenomenon. The subject of the study is the forms of cultural interaction between the university quarter and the city. The use of comparative and typological methods made it possible to identify and describe four forms of university presence in the city space, grouped around two basic directions. The first direction assumes the priority of the university in relation to the city, which gives rise to such a form of their interaction as a "university city". In this case, university activity, in fact, fulfills the role of the economic basis of urban life. The second direction, which is characterized by the leading role of the city, is represented by the student quarter, campus, university quarter. And in this case, we can talk about the "growing" of the university into the urban space, which has both its positive and negative sides. Special attention is paid to the university quarter, the need for which is associated with the expansion of the university's interaction with the urban community. Combining the project nature, openness, flexible targeting, it demonstrates greater potential compared to traditional options. In turn, the university quarter project can be represented by various complementary options. The analysis of the Samara experience of its design revealed two promising forms of its implementation: building a citywide university space and updating the historical past on the basis of available university resources.
Peculiarities of food culture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Vinokurova Marfa Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2023

The article examines the content of human nutrition, based on an axiological approach to understanding culture: food can become a carrier of spirituality and cultural value meanings. In this connection, the semantic meanings of such concepts as "food culture" and "gastronomic culture" are revealed. In modern science, everyday food culture correlates with the definition of "gastronomic culture", although to date there is no unambiguous understanding of this multidimensional cultural phenomenon, which is a specific attribute of each regional culture. The subject of the study is the food culture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The object of this study is the peculiarities of everyday food culture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). To identify possible gastronomic brands of Yakutia, a pilot survey was conducted among residents of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The presented article is relevant due to the fact that currently in modern culture there is a growing interest in the field of everyday food culture. The topic of food covers all areas of popular culture. Many books and periodicals on culinary topics are published. Exhibitions and competitions of culinary art are held. The catering system is actively developing. And these issues seem relevant today from the point of view of cultural knowledge and deserve close theoretical study.

Authors: Mohammed Baba Adamu , Maitera Oliver N.
Published: November 2023

Aim: This research was conducted to ascertain the level of pollution of our physical environment as a result of years of Boko Haram’s activities in Gombe State, North-Eastern Nigeria.

Study Design and Place of Study: Samples for this research were collected from Bajoga, Nafada and Gombe metropolis and environs all in Funakaye, Nafada, and Gombe Local Government Areas respectively. Samples were taken only from places with recorded Boko Haram’s explosion activities. A control sample for each study area was taken from an area that has no record of Boko Haram attacks. Gombe State is located in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria on latitude10015’00’’N and longitude 11010’00’’E bordering Yobe, Borno, Adamawa, Taraba and Bauchi states.

Methodology: The concentrations of explosive remnants (4-Nitrotoluene, 4-Propyl Benzaldehyde, 1,3-Dinitrotoluene, 2,4-Dinitrotoluene, 3,5- Dinitrotoluene, Trinitrotoluene, RDX and HMX) in the soil samples of the attacked areas were investigated using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometer, GC-MS.

Results: The result indicates 4-Nitrotoluene; 0.05-0.085µg/kg, 4-Propyl Benzaldehyde; 0.07-0.19µg/kg; 1,3-Dinitrotoluene; 0.005-0.060µg/kg, 2,4-DNT; 6.16-6.86µg/kg, 3,5-DNT; 0.40-0.90µg/kg, TNT; 0.29-0.66µg/kg and RDX and HMX were not detected. All the samples in the study area had 4-Nitrotolene and 4-Propyl Benzaldehyde concentrations above those in their respective controls. 1,3-DNT in Bajoga samples, 2,4-DNT in K Police station and K/mata, 3,5-DNT in Gombe metropolis, and TNT in NFD Police station were all found to be below the concentrations in their control

Conclusion: There is possible 4-Nitrotolene and 4-Propyl Benzaldehyde contaminations in all the studied sites and absence of pollution by 1,3-DNT in Bajoga, 2,4-DNT in K Police station and K/mata, 3,5-DNT in Gombe metropolis, and TNT in NFD Police station.

Aims: To determine the nutrient digestibility and blood composition of broiler chickens fed biodegraded sweet orange fruit peel-based diets.

Study Design: Completely randomized design.

Place and Duration of Study: Livestock Research Farm, Federal University of Agriculture Makurdi, Nigeria; fifty-six days

Methodology: Sweet orange peels and cattle rumen content were collected. Rumen content was mixed with water at a ratio 1 kg: 1 litre and sieved to get rumen filtrate (RF). RF was mixed with Sweet orange peels at a ratio of 1 litre: 2.5 kg and fermented for 48 hours, sun-dried, milled, and added to broiler diets at different levels: 0% (T1), 5% (T2), 10% (T3), 15% (T4), and 20% (T5). A total of 150 day-old chicks, randomly assigned to five dietary treatments and three replicates per treatment were raised in a 56-day feeding trial. Three chickens of average live body weight similar to the treatment group average were selected and used to determine nutrient digestibility and blood composition.

Results: The results showed that the coefficient of digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract and nitrogen-free-extract did not differ significantly (P > .05) among the treatment groups. Haematological indices; haemoglobin, red blood cell (RBC), packed cell volume, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), did not differ significantly (P > .05) across the dietary groups, while white blood cell (WBC) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) varied significantly (P < .05). Serum indices; total protein (TP), globulin, glucose, cholesterol, and alkaline phosphatase were significantly affected (P < .05) by the experimental diets, while albumin, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase did not differ significantly (P < .05) across the dietary groups.

Conclusion: Biodegraded sweet orange peel-based diets can replace maize grains up to 20% without affecting nutrient digestibility or having any adverse effect on blood constituents of broiler chickens.
