STATE REGULATION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY: WORLD EXPERIENCE AGAINST CORRUPTION
Authors:   SSI “Institute of Education Context Modernization”, MES of Ukraine, Kyiv, Shaposhnykov Kostiantyn
Published: May 2022

The article examines the features of anti-corruption in foreign countries. In particular, the concept of corruption in international acts is defined, as well as the peculiarities of the legal regulation of anticorruption in Germany, Israel and Esto-nia. It is recommended to use the experience of these countries to combat corruption in Ukraine. It is noted that in general, the mechanisms for combating corruption in foreign countries are not fundamentally different. The main difference is in the ap-proaches and motivation of their application. Therefore, in order to successfully overcome corruption, it is necessary to have not only perfect legislation, but high-quality work of anti-corruption bodies. It has been shown that an analysis of inter-national legal instruments defining corruption suggests that corruption at the inter-national level is interpreted as an abuse of power or a notion of trust for the sake of personal privileges or in favor of privileges of another person or group to whom loyalty is observed. The analysis concluded that the countries that have created an effective anti-corruption mechanism include: Germany, Finland, Denmark, New Zealand, Iceland, Singapore, Sweden, Canada, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Australia, Switzerland, Great Britain , Austria, Israel, USA, Chile, Ireland and others

Authors: Павліченко К.В.
Published: May 2022

Мета – визначення впливу макро і мікродобрив на формування елементів структури врожаю гібридами кукурудзи за вирощування на силос. Методи. Дослідження проводилися в 2019–2021 рр. в СТОВ «Птахоплемзавод Коробівський» Андрушівського району Житомирської області. Повторність досліду чотирьохразова. Грунт – чорнозем опідзолений середньосуглинистий. Розміщення варіантів – систематичне. Площа облікової ділянки – 184 м2. Агротехніка вирощування кукурудзи на силос була загальноприйнятою для умов Правобережного Лісостепу України, крім факторів, що вивчалися. Результати. Внесення макродобрив та використання на різних етапах органогенезу мікродобрив позитивно впливало на ріст і розвиток рослин середньоранніх і середньостиглих гібридів кукурудзи. Застосування N90Р60К60 і N120Р90К90 забезпечувало збільшення маси всієї рослини на 12,7–30,8%, а мікродобрив на 0,7–2,8%, порівняно з варіантами без їх внесення. Під впливом макродобрив частка листя і стебел у загальній масі рослини зменшується на 0,3–0,8%, а від застосування мікродобрив на 0,1–0,3%. При внесені N90Р60К60 і N120Р90К90 частка зерна, в загальній структурі рослин, зростає на 0,3–1,2%, а від застосування мікродобрив на 0,1–0,3%, порівняно з варіантами без їх внесення. Використання макродобрив впливає на зменшення вмісту сухої речовини на 0,3–1,3% порівняно з контролем а застосування мікродобрив не мало достовірного впливу на вміст сухої речовини в окремих органах та в цілому в рослинах кукурудзи. Висновки. Виявлено високий кореляційний зв’язок між вмістом сухої речовини у цілій рослині та у зерні (r=0,94), обгортках і стрижнях качана (r=0,91), стеблі (r=0,88) і листі (r=0,87). Встановлено підвищення індивідуальної продуктивності рослин кукурудзи на варіантах із внесенням N120Р90К90 та обробкою насіння YaraTera Tenso Cocktail (0,15 кг/т) і обприскуванням кукурудзи у фазі 3–5 листків YaraVita Kombiphos (3 л/га), що має позитивний вплив на зростання врожайності зеленої і сухої маси досліджуваних гібридів.

Мета. Встановити характер успадкування ознаки «стійкість до септоріозу» у гібридів пшениці м’якої озимої, що створені з залученням пізньостиглих зразків західноєвропейського екотипу. Встановити кореляції стійкості до септоріозу з тривалістю міжфазного періоду «цвітіння – стиглість зерна» та урожайністю зерна елітних селекційних сімей в селекційних розсадниках. Методи. Польові дослідження проведені в Інституті зрошуваного землеробства НААН у 2016–2021 рр. Об’єктом досліджень були сучасні сорти пшениці озимої селекції Інституту, колекційні зразки західноєвропейського екотипу, що були інтродуковані з Франції та гібриди створені за їх участі. Сорти та гібриди висівались при зрошенні схемою «материнська форма, батьківська, гібрид». Методи – польові, лабораторні, селекційно-генетичні, статистичні. Результати досліджень. Гібриди першого покоління (F1) успадковували цю ознаку переважно за проміжним типом та домінуванням стійкості. Гіпотетичний гетерозис проявили майже всі комбінації в межах 102,4…108,9, а комбінація Кф6-16/ Овідій проявила слабке домінування сприйнятливості (99,1 %). Істинний гетерозис проявили 7 комбінацій з 12, при цьому, ступінь гетерозису був дуже низьким (100,1…103,8 %), що вказує на полігенний тип успадковуваності та відсутність ефекту кумулятивної дії алелів стійкості та гетерозисного ефекту. В другому покоління (F2) успадковування проходило переважно за проміжним типом та домінування стійкості до септоріозу. Ступінь істинного гетерозису була зафіксована тільки в одній комбінації (Кф2-16/Херсонська безоста) і на дуже низькому рівні – 100,9 %. Ні один гібрид не перевищив кращу батьківську форму Кошова за стійкістю до септоріозу – 83,8 %. Висновки. Ураженість септоріозом в гібридних сім’ях селекційного розсадника коливалась від 3,0 до 37,8 %. Коефіцієнт варіації фенотиповий був на високому рівні 26,3…32,4 %, що вказує на значну різноманітність генотипів за стійкістю (ураженістю) та можливість ефективних доборів. Можливість проведення ефективних доборів на стійкість до септоріозу в гібридних популяціях, що створені за участі батьківських форм західноєвропейського екотипу, підтверджують достатньо високі коефіцієнти успадковуваності в широкому розумінні (Н2 ) – 58,3…74,8 %.

Published: May 2022

Метою статті є аналіз сучасної інформації щодо біологічних особливостей проса посівного, усвідомлення світового досвіду та узагальнення агротехнологічних і господарських переваг культури, вивчення сучасних тенденцій його виробництва та особливостей вирощування, перспектив ефективного використання біологічних переваг культури у системі сучасного аграрного виробництва в аспекті поточних світових викликів та проблем зумовлених війною Росії в Україні. Методика досліджень. Робота виконана з використанням аналізу та узагальнення опублікованих результатів наукових досліджень вітчизняних та закордонних вчених. Були застосовані загально визнані методи наукового пізнання – діалектичний, абстрактно-логічний та аналітичний метод. Результати досліджень. На основі узагальнення наукових вітчизняних і закордонних розробок та практичного досвіду виділено унікальні біологічні особливості проса як скоростиглість, широка межа терміну сівби, посухостійкість, жаровитривалість, пластичність до умов вирощування, широке господарське використання біологічної маси. Зосереджено увагу, що зазначені особливості проса дозволяють успішно його використовувати для коригування зернового та кормового балансу, оптимізації польових та зрошуваних сівозмін порушених у наслідок екстремальних погодних явищ та військових дій. Велика кількість вітчизняних сортів забезпечує одночасно широку можливість вибору для конкретних умов, проте потребує урахування їх морфофізіологічної реакції на специфічні умови альтернативного розміщення, що поєднано із ключовими технологічними елементами, та впливає на ефективність використання факторів інтенсифікації. Вирощування проса дозволяє отримувати повноцінну зернову продукцію та, по завершенню обмежень, спрощено перейти до традиційної системи аграрного виробництва. Висновки. Просо посівне є унікальною культурою широкого використання, що дозволяє адаптувати та стабілізувати аграрне виробництво в екстремальних умовах гібридної війни. Наукові дослідження щодо раціонального використання культури в сівозмінах інтенсивного типу повинні бути спрямовані на розробку ресурсоощадних та адаптивних технологій спрямованих на підвищення продуктивності і окупності витрат у сівозміні в цілому.
Gouvernance urbaine et modèle néo-traditionnel: le partenariat public-privé du Val d’Europe
Authors: Dupuis Blaise
Published: May 2022

Cet article se concentre sur la mondialisation du modèle urbain néo-traditionnel. Issu de doctrines européennes et américaines, ce modèle est mobilisé par une coalition d’acteurs publics et privés dans le cadre du développement du dernier secteur de Marne-la-Vallée : le Val d’Europe. Signé en 1987, ce partenariat exceptionnel entre l’État français et la Walt Disney Company a permis d’édifier une nouvelle ville selon des règles strictes de cohérence visuelle. À travers la généalogie de ce projet urbain emblématique, cet article propose de comprendre les modalités de gouvernance relatives à ce lieu où s’entrecroisent des flux de connaissances à l’origine d’une esthétique et d’une morphologie néoclassiques.
Mise en tourisme et production patrimoniale au Monténégro: Kotor et sa «labélisation UNESCO»
Authors: Naef Patrck
Published: May 2022

Dans le texte suivant, je mettrai en évidence certaines articulations entre local et global en présentant le cas de Kotor (Monténégro) où le tourisme est érigé en facteur clé du développement économique de la ville et de sa région. Je porterai mon regard sur le processus de labellisation du site à travers son inscription à l’UNESCO, ainsi que sur ses conséquences en termes de stratégies touristiques et de dynamiques urbaines. De plus, ce site a la particularité de se trouver dans une région, maintenant un État indépendant, qui a subi un embargo de dix ans et donc un isolement plus ou moins complet de la scène globale. Comme je le démontrerai en conclusion, sa rapide (ré)intégration s’accompagne de nombreux impacts sur l’organisation du lieu, à savoir un processus de gentrification et de muséification du centre historique de Kotor.

The Covid-19 pandemic has burdened the implementation of lactation counseling services directly by cadres to POSYANDU targets. This community service aims to educate cadres in Kampung ASI Wonokromo about how to use lactation counseling e media so that counseling services can be carried out online. Forty cadres of Kampung ASI were given socialization on using e-counseling media. Socialization is carried out utilizing practice or simulation of online e-counseling media through zoom meetings. This activity was carried out for 2 weeks, from June to October 2021. Evaluation of the implementation of the activities was carried out through pre- and post-tests using a questionnaire. 93% of cadres said that linktree e-lactation counseling was easy to use. A total of 97.4% said that linktree e-lactation counseling made it easier for cadres to provide online counseling. Linktr.ee e lactation counseling supports lactation counseling services in Kampung ASI, Wonokromo Village during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is expected that in future activities cadres can gain skills in making e-counseling media to develop media independently according to their needs.
Econometric investigation into nutritional factors of anemia prevention
Authors: Burilina Maria
Published: May 2022

The RLMS results in a database of longitude survey of the Russian population on a wide range of issues: demography, education, employment, standard of living, and healthcare. The data are of high value as they promote research into dependencies between socio-economic indicators at the level of individuals. Meanwhile, there are also specialized observations such as, for example, SANHANES – a survey that includes a clinical part. The RLMS data allow researchers to approach the health of citizens solely with questionnaires. The SANHANES data – with the results of a blood test. The purpose of the article is to investigate a usefulness of the RLMS data for researchers addressing nutritional factors of anemia prevention. For this purpose, the sections of the RLMS questionnaires called «Health», «Income» and «Expenses» are involved. The results are ambiguous. On the one hand, there is a statistical significance between the anemic state and the consumption of food products that affect the absorption of iron. On the other hand, a high prevalence of anemia among high-income respondents contradicts the theory and allows us to suspect the bias of the RLMS data in the question about anemia.

Optimization of the Employment Structure Using the Multi-sector Bounded-Neighbourhood Model
Authors: Akopov Andranick
Published: May 2022

This article presents an approach to optimizing the employment structure using an extended multi-sector bounded-neighbourhood model. The main problem associated with the optimization of the employment structure is the impossibility of implementing a strategy for the rapid redistribution of labour resources from less efficient low-tech sectors of the economy to high-tech ones. The reasons for the difficulties are due to the complex system of decision-making by agent-individuals on the choice of the most preferable jobs, based on a comprehensive assessment of a number of factors, such as the amount of wages, distance to the workplace, the influence of the parents’ opinions and their immediate environment, the presence or absence of previous work experience in the relevant industry, etc. The problem of dynamic optimization of the employment structure is formulated and solved using the genetic algorithm that has need proposed previously, within one generation (30 years), the transformation of the employment structure to the target (suboptimal) state is ensured to maximize the average GDP rates and minimize the share of non-assimilated migrants.

Autoimmune hemolyticanemia (AIHA) can be caused by a variety of etiologies. Approximately one-half of warm AIHAs are idiopathic, while the nonidiopathicetiologies include lymphoproliferative disorders, autoimmune disease, and infection-induced AIHA. AIHA may be frequently challenged by infectious complications, mainly as a result of immunosuppressive treatments administered. Here we reported an extraordinary case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection presented with high titer cold-agglutinin autoimmune hemolysis in an immunocompetent patient. Although being risk factors for mortality, infections are an underestimated issue in AIHA. No antecedent case of pulmonary tuberculosis associated with cold agglutinin disease has been reported from Malaysia.

Accuracy of Intraocular Pressure Measurements of Eyes with Therapeutic Contact Lenses after Vitrectomy
Authors: Moon Ja Young , Kim Yung Hui , Ji Yong-Sok
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained by a rebound and non-contact tonometer in eyes with a therapeutic contact lens (CL) after vitrectomy.Methods: In 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent vitrectomy for vitreoretinal disease, IOP was measured using a rebound tonometer (iCare ic200®; IOPRT) and non-contact computerized air puff tonometer (CT-80, IOPNCT), before and after wearing a CL (Purevision2®, +0.0 diopter). The mean IOP of three consecutive measurements were analyzed, and a comparative analysis with IOP measured by a Goldman applanation tonometer (IOPGAT) was performed.Results: The mean IOPRT without and with the CL was 12.55 ± 5.43 and 13.12 ± 5.13 mmHg, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference (p = 0.02) and strong positive correlation (r = 0.90, p < 0.001). The mean IOPNCT with and without the CL was 12.18 ± 3.24 and 12.17 ± 3.14 mmHg, showing no statistically significant difference (p = 0.17). The consistency with IOPGAT (12.57 ± 5.22 mmHg) was highest in IOPRT without the CL, followed by IOPRT with the CL, IOPNCT without the CL, and IOPNCT with the CL (intraclass correlation coefficients = 0.955, 0.945, 0.856, and 0.850, respectively). In addition, the rebound tonometer successfully measured IOP, regardless of whether the CL was worn; however, the non-contact tonometer failed to measure IOP in seven eyes without the CL and nine with the CL. No difference was observed according to intraocular tamponade type.Conclusions: A rebound tonometer can be used as an alternative IOL measuring method in eyes for which it is difficult to use a Goldman applanation tonometer due to the postoperative presence of a therapeutic CL.

Authors: Jeon Young Joon , Koh Kyung Min , Hwang Kyu Yeon , Kim Kook Young
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To report a case of subacute methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus hominis endophthalmitis after re-operation for penetrating keratoplasty in a patient who had a penetrating keratoplasty rejection.Case summary: A 74-year-old man with underlying diabetes and hypertension who underwent bilateral penetrating keratoplasty at another hospital underwent penetrating keratoplasty reoperation due to corneal transplant rejection in the right eye. He had a history of end-stage glaucoma in the right eye and the visual acuity was finger counting at 30 cm. About 25 days postoperatively, the corneal epithelial defect was first found. Treatment based on suspicion of herpes simplex virus infection did not result in improvement and endophthalmitis was suspected in the right eye about 35 days after surgery. Anterior chamber irrigation, pars planar vitrectomy, and intravitreal antibiotic injection were performed. Culture revealed methicillin-resistant coagulase negative Staphylococcus hominis. After 2 months of treatment, the anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation decreased and best corrected visual acuity in the right eye recovered to 0.06.Conclusions: Subacute endophthalmitis caused by methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus may occur after penetrating keratoplasty. Transplant failure due to infection can be avoided with vitrectomy and antibiotic treatment at the right time.
Influência da suplementação com as vitaminas B9 (ácido fólico) e B12 (cobalamina) no tratamento de pacientes com antidepressivos: uma revisão narrativa
Authors: Sousa Lucas Jose de Resende , Paula Carmen Aparecida de , Almeida Martha Elisa Ferreira de
Published: May 2022

No Brasil, cerca de 5,8% da população possui o diagnóstico de depressão, e apenas 1/3 destes pacientes estão em tratamento, devido os efeitos adversos dos medicamentos antidepressivos que têm impulsionado novas estratégias terapêuticas. Em tais pacientes têm sido observadas altas concentrações de homocisteína, um aminoácido com propriedades neurodegenerativas. Desta forma opções terapêuticas que proporcionam a manutenção dos níveis séricos de homocisteína dentro dos valores de referência estão se tornando alvos para o tratamento da depressão de forma isolada ou em associação com os antidepressivos habituais. Esta revisão narrativa tem como objetivo avaliar a influência da suplementação com as vitaminas B9 (ácido fólico) e B12 (cobalamina) no tratamento de pacientes com antidepressivos. Identificou-se que estas vitaminas são nutrientes importantes para a síntese de neurotransmissores, bem como a redução dos níveis de homocisteína no cérebro. Os pacientes com depressão, e em tratamento ou não com antidepressivos, obtiveram uma melhora significativa do seu quadro clínico quando receberam o suplementado destes dois micronutrientes, pois eles potencializaram os efeitos dos antidepressivos, e diminuíram os níveis de homocisteína na circulação sanguínea e a gravidade dos sintomas depressivos, principalmente naqueles pacientes portadores de altas concentrações de homocisteína plasmática. Concluiu-se que o baixo custo para aquisição das vitaminas B9 e B12 é um fator importante, e tem despertando a possibilidade da sua inclusão nas diretrizes de tratamento para a depressão no sentido de melhorar a eficiência dos medicamentos e diminuir a gravidade dos sintomas.

Red biopigments produced by actinobacteria represent an important substitute in the food industry to synthetic pigments, which can cause harmful effects on human health and the environment. In this study, pigment production by actinobacteria strain UFPEDA 3422, identified by polyphasic taxonomy, was investigated. The cultivation parameters related to growth and pigment production were assayed in solid culture media and submerged fermentation. The red cell pigment was extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer with maximum production of the pigment (34.9 AU540 nm) in Hickey-Tresner (HT) medium for 48 hours at 37 ºC. The maximum biomass concentration (33.4 g/L) was obtained after 96 hours. Polyphasic taxonomy confirms 97.4% similarity of strain UFPEDA 3422 with the Amycolatopsis, a rare genus able to produce pigments on different substrates. In addition, the microorganism has tolerance to temperature variations, pH fluctuations and concentrations of 5% NaCl. The determination of cultivation and pigment production parameters show the potential of Amycolatopsis sp. as an alternative source of natural pigments.

As embalagens à base de papel se destacam por ser um material abundante, atóxico, biodegradável e de baixo custo de comercialização em relação a outros materiais convencionais. Entretanto, o papel oferece baixa resistêcia ao vapor de água, óleos e gases, o que pode tornar frágil as embalagens, impossibilitando o seu uso para produtos perecíveis. Como alternativa, são utilizados biopolímeros para recobrimento de papéis, tais como derivados da celulose, amidos, quitosana ou quitina, proteínas (animal ou vegetal) e lipídeos. Esses biopolímeros oferecem propriedades avançadas e aprimoradas quando utilizados para recobrimento de papéis. O objetivo desta revi são é abordar sobre os principais biopolímeros estudados e testados para o recobrimento de papéis em embalagens alimentícias, sendo descritas suas principais características, além de apresentar trabalhos que mostram que os biopolímeros mencionados têm-se mostrado promissores, possuindo propriedades compatíveis para o uso em larga escala no recobrimento de papéis em embalagens. Com este trabalho, esperamos contribuir no avanço de pesquisas científicas e projetos que promovam a utilização de biopolímeros no recobrimento de papéis utilizados na produção de embalagens alimentícias.

O sistema sous vide é um método de cocção no qual os alimentos são embalados a vácuo e submetidos a aquecimento e resfriamento rápidos, o que pode favorecer a palatabilidade, valor nutricional e aumentar a vida de prateleira dos alimentos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar por meio de análises microbiológicas e físico-químicas a utilização do método sous vide em preparações típicas da culinária paraibana. As preparações foram elaboradas com a utilização dos seguintes ingredientes: carne bovina ou de ave, arroz, tomates, cebolas, pimentões, sal e pimenta do reino. Após o pré-preparo que incluiu cortes e adição de temperos, os ingredientes foram embalados à vácuo e submetidos à cocção em baixas temperaturas por longo período. Após o período de cocção, as preparações foram resfriadas imediatamente e rapidamente até atingirem 5±0,5°C. Finalmente, foram estocadas em câmaras de refrigeração a 2±1°C por até 45 dias. Para avaliação das preparações submetidas a técnica de sous vide, foram realizadas análises microbiológicas e físico-químicas imediatamente após o processamento e após 7, 14, 21, 30 e 45 dias. Verificou-se que, após 45 dias de armazenamento refrigerado, as preparações estavam de acordo com os padrões microbiológicos estabelecidos para preparações mistas. Quanto às análises físico-químicas houve diferença nos parâmetros de cores (L*, a* e b*) no decorrer do tempo de estocagem em cada prato analisado. Portanto, conclui-se que preparações mistas produzidas com a utilização do método sous vide são seguras para o consumo por até 45 dias, tendo alteração, apenas nas características de cor.
Ossículo meniscal duplo – Um achado raro
Authors: Flores Luna Caroline Carolino , Tanaka Guilherme , Duarte Márcio Luís
Published: May 2022

O ossículo meniscal é considerado uma condição rara e a sua etiologia é bem controversa, podendo pode ser encontrado no corno posterior do menisco medial perto da inserção tibial. Clinicamente, pode estar associada à dor e à sensação de bloqueio no joelho ou ainda ser assintomático. Ao abordar o assunto de forma clínica, o ossículo pode causar dor e sensação de bloqueio aos pacientes, mas também é descrito como assintomático e incidental durante a artroscopia. Se as radiografias simples em adultos revelarem a presença de uma estrutura óssea dentro da articulação do joelho, a ressonância magnética (RM) pode ser usada para diferenciar entre um ossículo meniscal e um corpo livre. A visualização direta durante a artroscopia continua sendo o padrão ouro para diferenciar as diferentes entidades. Nosso objetivo é relatar um caso de ossículo meniscal duplo diagnosticado pela RM.

Objetivou-se no presente estudo realizar o balanço do carbono equivalente em lavouras cafeeiras ocupadas por duas diferentes cultivares. O estudo foi conduzido no ano de 2021, em propriedade agrícola localizada dentro dos municípios de Guaxupé - MG e Tapiratiba - SP, Brasil. Foram avaliadas duas glebas (A e B), plantadas no ano de 2018 com espaçamento 3,5 x 0,7 m. A gleba A ocupada com a cultivar Acaia IAC 474-19 e a gleba B cultivar Catuaí IAC - 99. A estimativa de emissões foi calculada utilizando-se das metodologias GHG Protocol, Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação e Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). O carbono presente na biomassa foi quantificado a partir do abate das plantas, determinação da umidade (%), teor de carbono (C) e estimativa do dióxido de carbono equivalente (CO2 eq). O balanço do carbono equivalente por hectare (CO2 eq ha-1) foi obtido pela diferença entre o carbono sequestrado e as emissões estimadas. Os resultados demonstraram que o sequestro de carbono equivalente na biomassa do cafeeiro em 3,5 anos foi de aproximadamente 3,6 vezes maior que as emissões. A remoção de CO2 eq aos 3,5 anos foi estimada em 15,15 e 24,92 Mg CO2 eq ha-1 para a cultivar Catuai IAC-99 e Acaia IAC 474-19 respectivamente. As emissões ao longo do período avaliado foram de 5,05 e 5,77 Mg CO2 eq ha-1 para as glebas cultivadas com Catuaí IAC-99 e Acaia IAC 474-19, portanto o sistema de produção avaliado aos 3,5 anos pode ser considerado carbono neutro.

Abstract. Introduction: The incidence of COVID-19 continued to increase due to human-to-human transmission. To prevent the transmission of COVID-19, the government applied self-quarantine regulation. However, health workers must continue to work, especially those located in big cities, such as Malang. One of the COVID-19 referral hospitals in Malang is the Rumah Sakit Islam Malang (RSI UNISMA). The high number of patients undergoing examination tests and handling COVID-19 treatment increased the workload of health workers at RSI UNISMA. Stress due to high workload had an impact on sleep quality disturbances. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels of health workers at RSI UNISMA on sleep quality during COVID-19.Methods: This type of research was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used a simple random sampling method, with as many as 74 respondents. The questionnaire instrument was in the form of a google form regarding the Covid Perceived Stress Scale (COVID PSS-10 Items) which assesses stress levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) which assesses sleep quality. Data analysis used SPSS 25.0 with fisher's exact test.Results: From a total of 74 respondents, there were 58 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. Based on statistical analysis, there was no relationship between stress levels and the sleep quality of UNISMA Hospital health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic (p > 0.05).Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between stress levels and the quality of sleep for health workers at RSI UNISMA during the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be caused by various factors, one of which is thought that the health worker is accustomed to doing work with a high level of stress or a deficiency in research methods such as classifying work units.
Black eye syndrome and a systemic rickettsia-like organism in Alaskan Chionoecetes spp. crabs, including normal eyestalk microanatomy

Published: May 2022

A black eye syndrome (BES) was discovered in both captive and wild populations of Alaskan snow crabs Chionoecetes opilio and Tanner crabs C. bairdi. Field prevalences ranged from 0.37% (n = 594/161295) to 19.6% (n = 62/316) in snow crabs from the eastern Bering Sea and from 0.09% (n = 15/16638) to 0.7% (n = 133/18473) in Tanner crabs from the same trawl samples, with a slightly greater percentage (1.4%, n = 57/3945) in Tanner crabs from the Aleutian and Kodiak islands fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska. BES is not associated with crab mortality and has 2 distinct manifestations: abnormal black foci of internal eye pigment with no discernible histological lesions, which, in many cases, is followed by corneal shell disease with ulceration and distal eyestalk erosion. It is assumed for this study that these are early and late stages of BES that are somehow related. Our results suggest that early stages of abnormal pigmentation are noninfectious, possibly related to changing ocean conditions affecting crab endocrinology and neuropeptide control of secondary eye pigment. Potential light-induced photoreceptor damage of harvested crabs with dark-adapted eyes is another anthropogenic factor possibly contributing to the early changes in eye pigmentation. Normal eyestalk microanatomy specific for Chionoecetes spp. is provided as necessary baseline information for future studies. Early in the study, an unreported rickettsia-like organism (RLO) was discovered infecting dissected black eyestalks submitted for examination from 5 of 6 dead snow crabs, suggesting association with BES. Subsequent samples indicated the RLO was systemic, infected both black and normal-appearing eyestalks, and was unrelated to BES. However, the multiorgan infection and histopathology indicated the RLO could be a primary pathogen of snow crabs.
Arabic Political Discourse and Politeness Strategies
Authors: Lahlali El Mustapha
Published: May 2022

This chapter examines the concept of politeness in the context of the Arab Spring, with a particular focus on politeness strategies in different speeches, statements and slogans, examining shifts in these strategies and discourses. Apart from identifying key politeness strategies and shifts, this chapter provides an explanation for these changes by contextualising them in the wider social, political and cultural context.
Conclusion and Findings
Authors: Lahlali El Mustapha
Published: May 2022

In the course of this book many approaches to discourse, notions and concepts have been introduced, discussed and debated and their relevance to this project has been clarified. While these concepts, theories and approaches remain vital to this project, three key concepts constitute the argument of this book: discourse, framing and conflict. The analysis of discourse and its contextualisation in different contexts and at different stages of the conflict have enabled us not only to account for different voices and stakeholders, but have also allowed us an insight into the new discourse and the emerging discursive practices. By examining discourses of different actors and stakeholders we have managed to fully understand the reality of the tensions and conflict. The dialectical relationship between discourse and society has enabled us to understand how discourses shape and are shaped by events on the ground. In the context of this book, the focus has been on Arab leaders and the Arab public discourses, with a view to understanding the nature of relationship between the two through their own discourse and practice....
Derrida, de Man, Barthes, and Music as the Soul of Writing
Authors: Dayan Peter
Published: May 2022

We cannot say what music is. Is this because music has no stable identity, or because its stable identity is not accessible to words? Music, for Derrida and Barthes, can be understood through an analogy with the soul. Its mode of existence is problematic (is it a material thing, or not?), but if we allow ourselves to think through how the concept has been used and why we continue to need it in our experience of love and in the face of death, we see what music might do for writing.
Shakespeare’s Musicians: Status and Hierarchy
Authors: Sokol B. J.
Published: May 2022

Following the Reformation in England, musicians suffered a fall in status as well as declining economic opportunities. Some characters in Shakespeare’s plays mock or scorn certain musicians, or disgrace themselves by hiring them, despite an ever-increasing enthusiasm for music and music-making in (and even across) all levels of Elizabethan society. The resolution of that paradox lies in long traditions of status distinctions between players of differing families of musical instruments: wind- players are placed far below players of stringed instruments or vocalists. It is claimed that the myth of the musical contest between the aulos-playing satyr Marsyas and the kithara-playing god Apollo – a myth that was very frequently recounted or illustrated pictorially in the Renaissance – resonates with details met in Troilus and Cressida, Hamlet and Othello and is widely and strongly adumbrated in The Merchant of Venice.
