Authors: Ijäs Ulla
Published: April 2022

Tämä artikkeli käsittelee kirjojen liikkumista Itä-Suomessa 1700- ja 1800-lukujen vaihteessa. Tutkimusaineistona on kolme kirjakokoelmaa tai niistä laadittua perukirjaa: pappi Anton Ulrik Rönnholmin (1787–1862) sekä kauppias Johan Friedrich Hackmanin (1755–1807) ja Johan Sigfrid Ignatiuksen kirjakokoelmat (1749–1831). Kirjakokoelmien kartuttamista ja kirjoihin tehtyjä merkintöjä seuraamalla voidaan havaita ylirajaiset yhteydet ja havainnollistaa aiemmin vähemmän tutkittuja materiaalisia ja kulttuurisia yhteyksiä. Kirjojen liikkeitä tutkimalla osoitetaan, että itäsuomalaiset kirjakeräilijät liittyivät tiiviisti saksankieliseen urbaaniin kosmopoliittiin ryhmään, joka 1800-luvun alkupuolella muotoutui Itämeren ympärysalueella ja keskisemmässä saksankielisessä Euroopassa. Kirjat olivat liikkuva tiedon materiaalinen käyttöliittymä, jonka historiaa tutkimalla saadaan uutta tietoa tiedonkulun sekä materian ja ihmisten liikkumisesta.
Review on the Role of Fructose in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Diseases
Authors: Umaru Isaac John , Emmanuel Okoli Chikodiri
Published: April 2022

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinical liver condition characterized by accumulation of fat in the liver that can develop into non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without any evidence of excessive alcohol consumption. NASH involves liver inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually liver cancer. Excessive intake of fructose is known to promote non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD), because this sugar is both a substrate and an inducer of liver fat regeneration. In addition to the hepatic lipogenic effects, the consumption of fructose can also cause liver inflammation and cellular stress, such as oxidative and endoplasmic stress, which are conducive to the progression of steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Fructose also has direct and indirect effects on peripheral levels. For example, excessive fructose intake is associated with changes in the gut micro biota, which can lead to a worsening of the disease. Currently, there is no known treatment for NAFLD. Therefore, treatment is based on lifestyle changes, including changes in diet and physical exercise.

Authors: Chukwu  , Origin Kenechukwu , Ubah Chimarume Blessing
Published: April 2022

The study examines the causal relationship between selected financial development indicators and economic growth in Nigeria. The study used quarterly data from the statistical bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria from (1985Q1-2016Q4). The study employs Granger causality test and Vector Autoregressive (VAR) estimation techniques. The findings show a bidirectional causality between money supply to gross domestic product on real gross domestic product. There is also unidirectional relationship between private debt to total debt securities (domestic) on real gross domestic product while there is no causality between lending-deposits spread and liquidity ratio on RGDP. The study therefore recommends that government should further undertake financial reforms; build a robust infrastructure, legal system and an enabling business environment capable of attracting quality investments, promote real sector growth and development as well as job creation and economic growth. Government should also introduce policies aimed at enhancing financial inclusion and boosting financial access in Nigeria. Attention should be given to the money supply in the economy to ensure that the money in circulation is within the growth target in order to achieve price stability and accelerated growth.

The Institutional Factors Influencing Trade Facilitation in Rwanda through EAC Customs Union
Authors: Oswald Dr. Rudahigwa
Published: April 2022

Trade facilitation is any process involved in the reduction in trading costs associated with enforcement, regulation, and administration of trade policies. This process intended to lower the related transaction costs for firms in global commerce thereby enabling continued growth in cross border trade in goods and service. Trade facilitation is a diverse and challenging subject with potential benefits for both private business people and governments at national, regional and international levels. Governments initiated a trade facilitation reform programme following complaints about widespread corruption and poor administrative practices. The reform programme included the implementation of single-point clearance and mechanism, the introduction of risk assessment procedures and the publication of customs nights and responsibilities in export clearance. To conduct this kind of study is very important because it helped to describe the extent at which cargo clearance procedures, tariff charges and other institution factors influence the trade facilitation in Rwanda. Rwanda is a land-locked country, facing tremendous difficulties in accessing major markets in the regional as well as in the rest of the world. These difficulties emanated from high transport costs owing to the fact that she has no direct access to the sea. Rwanda has been continually showing deficit in export and imports compared to other neighboring partners the transit time greatly improved but nonetheless a sensitive consignment may be escorted on request from security organs - especially explosives, used in industries and construction works. It was noted that, through EAC customs union, Revenue Authority Digital Data Exchange (RADDEx) in an effort to facilitate trade in East Africa, Revenue Authorities throughout the EAC introduced modern computerized system and methods of ICT with great success and benefits to all stakeholders which make the work more efficient, productive and accurate. In this case, the impact here is the use of advance information by clearing and forwarding agencies that start processing customs entries prior to arrival of transit trucks at border posts. When trucks arrive at border posts, they are cleared immediately - since document formalities were completed. This study has revealed the current status on how the customs union procedures influence the trade facilitation in Rwanda. The study has revealed the areas of weaknesses for improvement. Corruption is one of the serious challenges identified in this study. Therefore, EAC members’ states should formulate policies which will combat the corruption within the EAC customs All these representatives should have an input on each of the coordination elements. The EAC members’ state should harmonize the charges and penalties not only customs laws but also trade regulations and laws. There should be a committee or a unit that will integrate this work. They should build on the work of the respective legal units of all Partner State.

During the pandemic, the growing number of people affected by social isolation and food insecurity posed serious challenges in the rural areas. A livelihood project was implemented by the government from 2019 to 2021 among the 33 members of a women’s association in a disadvantaged upland community in Bukidnon province, Southern Philippines. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the livelihood intervention in changing income, knowledge about farming, social capital, and food security amidst the pandemic. The project has facilitated extension activities and surveys considering the health protocols imposed by the government. The technical training has improved the knowledge level, promoted the production of vegetables in the households which generated additional income vital during the pandemic. The social capital of rural women has significantly increased during the last two years which was influenced by their main occupation, sources of income and ethnicity. Though not statistically significant, the project has increased the food availability, accessibility, and utilization in the household during the pandemic. The findings indicated that a livelihood intervention can effect changes in the social and economic situation of the rural women even during the pandemic which could be promoted to other communities.

This article makes a modern analysis of the transport system in Bulgaria, considering the main modes of transport in quantitative and qualitative indicators ant the factors and features that form it.
Potential Application for First Responder Organisations of Desensitisation and Reprocessing Treatment for Individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Authors: Melanie Harriette , Melanie Melanie
Published: April 2022

This literature review discusses the impact and nature of traumatic experiences of first responders, focusing on their ability to cope with the cognitive and behavioural symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). First responders are defined as police, fire, ambulance, military, public health service workers, and state, local, and volunteer agencies, who protect and safeguard communities. First responders disproportionately suffer from PTSD; symptoms often lead to inability to continue their duties. Individuals and organisations should consider how individuals recover from PTSD. This paper reviews literature on PTSD interventions and recommends Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy for treatment of PTSD in first responders. The literature review explored effective treatment options for overcoming PTSD and found an embedded culture in first responder organisations of cognitive avoidance, which results in reduced help seeking behaviours. Poor help-seeking behaviours correlate with high levels of PTSD and psychological distress, low levels of mental health literacy, and career issues. This paper discusses how EMDR is a potential and effective therapy to reduce symptoms of PTSD in first responders. Evidence reviewed in this paper suggests EMDR should be used as a treatment option for first responders to help reformulate negative thoughts/beliefs associated with exposure to traumatic events.
Living Rough: An exploratory study on the vulnerabilities of rough sleepers in Birmingham, United Kingdom
Authors: Rahman Mohammed , Abdulkader Maram
Published: April 2022

The rough sleeping homeless cohort is a marginalised population that has steadily increased over the past 10 years, across the United Kingdom (UK). Understanding this type of homelessness and the vulnerabilities associated with it is crucial, as it is often misconstrued due to policy ambiguity. This article examines rough sleepers as a vulnerable cohort and explores the precursors that lead to them becoming vulnerable and subsequently victimised. The key findings revealed that rough sleepers frequently endure implicit and explicit modes of exploitation. Their implicit exploitation puts them in a position of vulnerability that affects their ability to trust the public, statutory and third sector organisations. This questions their belonging in society and forces them to establish new ties and bonds, which exposes them to additional vulnerabilities. The explicit exploitation is the mere exposure of living in the streets, which puts them at greater risk of being victimised by the public, statutory bodies and criminal groups. This article concludes by offering practical recommendations of how the issue of rough sleeping can be better addressed via multi-agency, governmental, and academic work.

Authors: Ireland Carol A. , Keeley Samuel , Lewis Michael , Bowden Suzanne
Published: April 2022

This research comprised of 13 face-to-face semi-structured interviews with residential care workers (seven males and six females), all based within the same UK residential care organisation, offering care for adolescents aged 11 to 17 years. Interviews focussed on the psychological impact of traumatic events on staff functioning. Findings noted that participants had been exposed to varied distressing and traumatic experiences, occurring within and outside their employment. Experiences included witnessing or being a victim of physical and sexual aggression, witnessing self-injury or suicidal behaviour, and reading about neglect, abuse, self-injury, suicidal behaviour, and physical and sexual aggression from residents’ histories. When considering the psychological impact on staff, qualitative analyses identified themes of emotional distress and interpersonal discord. Furthermore, increased exposure to a young person’s traumatic experience led to endurance being prioritised over emotional wellbeing, ineffective coping, and poor sleep hygiene. A reduction in the impact of exposure to a young person’s traumatic experiences related to emotional and proactive support from others, use of effective coping, and increased knowledge and preparation into distressing events. The findings are discussed in relation to the overall impact of trauma exposure on staff, protective factors, and suggestions for staff intervention to reduce and/or remove potential impact.

Abstract

The objective of this research was about finding out if there is a significantly different use of  the Instagram media for increasing the cadets’ ability to write Recount text in Technical Department compared to the use of English book media on students' ability to write short recount texts. The samples in this study were two classes of cadets of the Technical Department, Politeknik Bumi Akpelni involving 48 cadets. The experimental group was taught using Instagram as a new way of learning through social media in sample groups and groups taught using English books or handouts in non-examples groups. To find out whether there is an important difference between the final examination scores of the sample and non-sample groups, the t-test was calculated, and it was found that the t-value was higher than the t-table (3, 109 > 2.00). According to the results of the research that has been carried out for 1 semester, the researchers conclude that there is an important effect on using the new method, namely the Instagram social media application, compared to the use of English books or handouts that have been used the old way on the cadets' ability to write recount texts. This means that the t-test is greater than the t-table. The alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. In addition, through a new method of following young people's technology, namely social media Instagram as a medium in teaching English, especially recount text, it is very significant to improve cadets' writing skills.

Authors: Bandini D. , Oertel B. , Eberhardt U.
Published: April 2022

Twelve new species of Inocybe ( I. adorabilis, I. comis, I. demetris, I. filiana, I. galactica, I. morganae, I. othini, I. ovilla, I. proteica, I. somae, I. suryana and I. venerabilis) are described
from Europe on the basis of detailed morphological and molecular investigation. A portrait of the recently described I. ianthinopes is given. All species are smooth-spored and some pruinose only in the apical part of the stipe, and some on entire length. The new species are compared
to 24 type specimens (17 characterized by at least partial ITS sequence data), all of which are described and revised here. Epitypes were selected for two species, I. hirtella and I. sindonia. Based on our studies, we confirm that I. kuehneri and I. sindonia on
one hand, and I. subalbidodisca and I. ochroalba on the other, are synonyms and furthermore suggest that I. abietis is synonymous with I. catalaunica, I. exilis with I. rufobrunnea, I. hirtellarum with I. mycenoides, I. lapidicola
with I. deianae, I. ochraceolutea with I. sindonia, I. stangliana with I. pelargonium, I. subrubens with I. subhirtella and I. sulfovirescens with I. langei. All of the new species are supported by phylogenetic analyses.
Among the 16 previously described species accepted here, 10 are represented by types in the phylogenetic analyses and five by own collections corresponding to the type. Two species, I. eutheloides (remaining doubtful) and I. pallidolutea are only treated morphologically. In summary,
we describe as new or verify the taxonomic status and provide or corroborate morphological concepts for 37 smooth-spored species of Inocybe.

Улучшение использования средств механизации - одно из решающих направлений повышения эффективности сельскохозяйственного производства и его интенсификации. Важнейшей задачей при этом является обоснование оптимальных машинно-тракторных агрегатов (МТА), комплексов машин и составов машинно-тракторного парка (МТП) с учетом конкретных производственных и природно-экономических условий. Для хозяйств из всего многообразия технологических и технических решений должны быть выбраны такие варианты, которые обеспечивают максимальную эффективность производства. В статье рассмотрены вопросы формирования технологических линий посева зерновых культур, выявлены недостатки оптимизации с использованием методов линейного программирования. Показана возможность решения оптимизационной задачи с использованием метода имитационного моделирования, обеспечивающего более эффективное выполнение технологического процесса в заданные агротехнические сроки. Имитационное моделирование - это метод исследования, при котором изучаемая система заменяется моделью, с достаточной точностью описывающей реальную систему, и с ней проводятся эксперименты с целью получения информации об этой системе. Имитационное моделирование позволяет имитировать поведение системы во времени.  Разработана имитационная модель процесса посева зерновых культур, представляющая собой две взаимосвязанные системы массового обслуживания (СМО), и математическая модель оптимизации технологических линий с учетом конкретных условий эксплуатации машин. Установлены закономерности выполнения основных элементов технологического процесса посева зерновых культур.

In terms of the advanced technological developments in energy production the low quality coals need the most feasible technologies. it is possible to produce coal-derived products from low quality coals. On the contrary of environmental concerns of low quality coal burning, coal preparation, grinding and washing of various type of low quality coals need feasible evaluation. The grinding systems are needed in today's modern technology. In this fine grinding study, Hardgrove and Bond grindability tests are practiced over Şırnak shale, Şırnak asphaltites and bottom ash. Grinding tests ere carried out to certain weight samples conditioned in microwave oven at the fine size values in the product. The duration period are changed after grinding for 60 and 90 minutes. Şırnak asphaltite and Şırnak shale were dry milled in two different horizontal and vertical roller mills in different micro-grinders and the fineness values of 20 μm and 45 μm are determined and compared. The unit energy consumption for different types of clinker production in industrial mills has been calculated and presented comparatively. The differences in the grindability of raw materials and the amount of energy consumed in cement production were determined by experimental and industrial tests. The easiest to grind is Şırnak asphaltite and shale, while the most difficult to grind is marl. As a result of the HGI and Bond tests, they are the decisive tests in industrial-scale grinding of cement. Since materials that are easy to grind are evaluated, it has been observed in this study that clinkers with additives produced using claystone are more advantageous. Micronized grinding of soft limestone instead of marly limestone has proven to be easy. The particle size functions in the micro pulp are defined in the vertical ball mill. In the production of additive Portland cement, micronized grinding of oak charcoal and fly ash with microwave requires less energy and can be grinded more easily.

The aim of the study is to examine the patients with COVID-19 associated stroke who were admitted to the inpatient rehabilitation program in terms of clinical features, ambulation level and functional status, and to reveal the improvements achieved as a result of rehabilitation. 29 COVID-19-related stroke patients (group 1) and 29 non-COVID-19 stroke patients (group 2) were included in this study. The groups were compared in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics, risk factors, post-stroke disorders and complications of stroke. Motor function was evaluated with the Brunnstrom Motor Recovery Staging (BMRS), ambulation status was evaluated with the Functional Ambulation Scale (FAS), and functional disability was evaluated with the Functional Independence Scale (FIM). Both groups of patients were compared in terms of pretreatment and posttreatment values of BMRS, FIM and FAS stages. In addition, the changes in BMRS, FIM and FAS values within the group were evaluated. Pulmonary involvement (mild/moderate-severe) and the use of anticoagulants after COVID-19 infection were investigated in patients with COVID 19 stroke. In patients with COVID-19-associated stroke, the mean age was statistically significantly lower (p=0.045), the risk factor hypertension was significantly less (p=0.016), pre-stroke anticoagulant use was significantly higher (p=0.004), and deep vein thrombosis was significantly higher (p=0.022). All patients with COVID-19 had pulmonary involvement. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in the comparison of post-stroke disorders. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of BMRS, FIM and FAS values before and after treatment (p>0.05). The change in BMRS, FIM and FAS values within both groups was found statistically significant. According to the results of this study, COVID-19-related stroke is seen at younger ages and deep vein thrombosis is more common. Significant improvements are observed in motor and functional status after rehabilitation. Rehabilitation should be given importance in patients with COVID-19-related stroke, and care should be taken in terms of deep vein thrombosis during rehabilitation.
