Evaluation of productivity losses due to premature mortality from colorectal cancer
Authors: Darbà Josep , Marsà Alicia
Published: December 2020

Cancer is responsible annually for around 27% of all deaths in Spain, 15% of which are caused by colorectal cancer. This malignancy has increased its incidence considerably over the past years, which surely impacts global productivity losses. The evaluation of lost productivity due to premature mortality provides valuable information that guides healthcare policies into the establishment of prevention and screening programs. The purpose of this study was to assess the productivity losses from premature deaths due to colorectal cancer over a ten year period (2008–2017). The costs derived from premature mortality due to this highly prevalent cancer were estimated using data on mortality, age- and sex-specific reference salaries and unemployment rates in Spain via the human capital approach. Between 2008 and 2017, 15,103 persons died per year from colorectal cancer, representing almost 15% of all cancer-related deaths. Annually, 25,333 years of potential productive life were estimated to be lost on average, 14,992 in males and 10,341 in females. Productivity losses summed €510.8 million in in 2017, and the cancers of the colon and rectum accounted for 9.6% of cancer-related productivity losses in 2017 in Spain. Colorectal cancer has an important weight in terms of productivity losses within the Spanish population, consequently, prevention and early detection programmes should be promoted and implemented to achieve significant reductions in mortality and productivity losses.

Published: December 2020

The tri-spine horseshoe crab,Tachypleus tridentatus, is a threatened species that inhabits coastal areas from South to East Asia. A Conservation management system is urgently required for managing its nursery habitats, i.e., intertidal flats, especially in Japan. Habitat suitability maps are useful in drafting conservation plans; however, they have rarely been prepared for juvenileT.tridentatus. In this study, we examined the possibility of constructing robust habitat suitability models (HSMs) for juveniles based on topographical data acquired using unmanned aerial vehicles and the Structure from Motion (UAV-SfM) technique. The distribution data of the juveniles in the Tsuyazaki and Imazu intertidal flats from 2017 to 2019 were determined. The data were divided into a training dataset for HSM construction and three test datasets for model evaluation. High accuracy digital surface models were built for each region using the UAV-SfM technique. Normalized elevation was assessed by converting the topographical models that consider the tidal range in each region, and the slope was calculated based on these models. Using the training data, HSMs of the juveniles were constructed with normalized elevation and slope as the predictor variables. The HSMs were evaluated using the test data. The results showed that HSMs exhibited acceptable discrimination performance for each region. Habitat suitability maps were built for the juveniles in each region, and the suitable areas were estimated to be approximately 6.1 ha of the total 19.5 ha in Tuyazaki, and 3.7 ha of the total 7.9 ha area in Imazu. In conclusion, our findings support the usefulness of the UAV-SfM technique in constructing HSMs for juvenileT.tridentatus. The monitoring of suitable habitat areas for the juveniles using the UAV-SfM technique is expected to reduce survey costs, as it can be conducted with fewer investigators over vast intertidal zones within a short period of time.

La asociación AXYZ es expulsada de una cooperativa de la que es socia por dejar de recibir los servicios de contabilidad y servicio de control, manteniendo solamente el servicio de informatización y porque en los trámites de ejecución provisional de sentencias de procedimientos judiciales instados por los señores A y B contra la COOPERATIVA esta ha tenido conocimiento de la contratación de los referidos señores por parte de AXYZ para la prestación del servicio de controladores desde el día 5 de junio de 2017 como trabajadores a jornada completa. Se entiende que dicha contratación entra en colisión directa con los servicios que la COOPERATIVA presta a los ganaderos, con los consiguientes perjuicios económicos para la COOPERATIVA.
English Studies and Literary Education in the Era of Media Manipulation: Context, Perceptions, Feelings and Challenges
Authors: Caballero Aceituno Yolanda , Orrequia-Barea Aroa
Published: December 2020

This article analyses the components of a method of literary education aimed at strengthening critical awareness. It discusses whether the current academic context is hospitable to a literary education that fights against the over-simplification of our epistemological horizons. The popularisation of a utilitarian version of university study, the neglect of reflective practices and the marginalisation of the usefulness of the discipline of literature within the field of English Studies are some of the realities that we currently face. Within this context, a literary education involving activism can play an important role in promoting resistance against the pandemic of media manipulation we are in the midst of. After having examined the views of a group of students at the University of Jaén (Spain) concerning the importance of studying an English Studies degree in contemporary society, it is clear that such an education needs to be based on emotional aspects, paying special attention to the students’ feelings and perceptions. The results of our corpus-based study using Sentiment Analysis techniques evidence the emotional disaffection of students from certain subjects, namely literature, which are specifically aimed at encouraging critical thinking. Thus, one of the future challenges that must be faced is to foster positive emotions in our literature lessons, as they are essential to promote the students’ critical awareness and activism.

Mercaderes en las urbes: Los Sopranis, genoveses gaditanos en España y en América
Authors: Iglesias Rodríguez Juan José
Published: December 2020

Este artículo trata de profundizar en la realidad de los comerciantes de la Carrera de Indias como agentes mercantiles, pero, sobre todo, como protagonistas de la cultura urbana y como conectores culturales en un mundo crecientemente integrado. Con este fin, aborda el estudio de los Sopranis, una familia de mercaderes de origen genovés que tuvo una activa presencia en Andalucía y en Canarias. El trabajo se centra específicamente en la rama familiar de los Sopranis instalada en Cádiz, ciudad que ejerció un decisivo papel en las relaciones de España con el norte de África, el archipiélago canario y los nuevos espacios coloniales americanos. En Cádiz, los Sopranis desempeñaron una intensa actividad como cargadores y navieros, al tiempo que se insertaron eficazmente en la oligarquía local de regidores perpetuos y jugaron un papel decisivo en la conformación de las redes relacionales y el desarrollo de las manifestaciones culturales propias de la élite urbana dominante.

Published: December 2020

The desire to punish someone who has caused suffering is characterized by revenge. However, it ispossible for someone to present pro-social changes in relation to the offender, which constitutesforgiveness. Studies point out that forgiveness and revenge can be understood in the opposite wayand also share a common dimension. In this sense, this study aimed to compare the adjustment of atwo-factor model for forgiveness and revenge with alternative explanations of one-factor and twofactormodels. 195 people participated, the majority female (66.7%), heterosexual (83.2%), single (80.8%), with incomplete higher education (68.4%) and with ages between 18 and 82 years (M=27.26; SD=11.50), who responded to the Willingness to Forgive Scale and the Vengeance Scale. The results showed that the two-factor model was more appropriate [χ2(102)=175.639, p<0.001; χ2/gl=1.54, SRMR=0.06, CFI=0.94, RMSEA=0.061 (CI90%=0.04-0.07), TLI=0.93]. The results found suggest that, in addition to sharing a common factor, the variables seem to have legitimacy as distinct constructs, providing empirical support for the promotion of strategies aimed at intervening in both general and specific elements related to the constructs.

Published: December 2020

This reflective essay highlights the importance of project structure when teaching highly controversial topics. I review research that shows differing approaches to teaching highly controversial subjects and the impact of the approaches on learning outcomes. I then reflect on the outcomes of deploying a non-directive, peacekeeping approach to address the issue of police-involved shootings in a criminal justice class. Finally, I draw attention to ancillary issues that emerge in this project structure as well as how the results impacted my own thinking about this topic.
COVID-19 Pandemic Uncertainty Shock Impact on Macroeconomic Stability in Ethiopia
Authors: DEMIESSIE Habtamu Girma
Published: December 2020

This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic uncertainty shock on the macroeconomic stability in Ethiopia in the short run period. The World Pandemic Uncertainty Index (WPUI) was used a proxy variable to measure COVID-19 Uncertainty shock effect. The pandemic effect on core macroeconomic variables like investment, employment, prices (both food & non-food prices), import, export and fiscal policy indicators was estimated and forecasted using Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Model. The role of fiscal policy in mitigating the shock effect of coronavirus pandemic on macroeconomic stability is also investigated. The finding of the study reveals that the COVID-19 impact lasts at least three years to shake the economy of Ethiopia. Given that the Ethiopian economy heavily relies on import to supply the bulk of its consumption and investment goods, COVID-19 uncertainty effect starts as supply chain shock, whose effect transmitted into the domestic economy via international trade channel.

The pandemic uncertainty shock effect is also expected to quickly transcend to destabilize the economy via aggregate demand, food & non-food prices, investment, employment and export shocks. The overall impact of COVID-19 pandemic uncertainty shock is interpreted into the economy by resulting under consumption at least in the next three years since 2020. Therefore, the government is expected to enact incentives/policy directions which can boost business confidence. A managed expansionary fiscal policy is found key to promote investment, employment and to stabilize food & non-food prices. A particular role of fiscal policy was identified to stabilizing food, transport and communication prices. The potency of fiscal policies in stabilizing food, transport and communication prices go in line with the prevailing reality in Ethiopia where government has strong hands to control those markets directly and/or indirectly.

This suggests market failure featuring COVID-19 time, calling for managed interventions of governments to promote market stabilities. More importantly, price stabilization policies of the government can have spillover effects in boosting aggregate demand by spurring investments (and widening employment opportunities) in transport/logistics, hotel & restaurant, culture & tourism and export sectors in particular.
Preparation of thin layer CuO from Cu2O using the Spin Coating Method at Various Annealing Temperature and Number of Dripping for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting
Authors: Pratista Eka , Gunawan Gunawan , Widodo Didik Setiyo
Published: December 2020

A thin layer preparation of CuO from Cu2O powder using Fehling's solution for photoelectrochemical applications has been performed. The research was focused on studying the effect of annealing temperature and the number of drops on the performance of CuO thin layer semiconductors from Cu2O powder prepared by spin coating with a rotation rate of 500 rpm for 15 seconds. The thin layers were treated with annealing with temperature variations of 300°C, 400°C, and 500°C for 1 hour and variations in the number of drops of 10, 20, and 50 drops. The CuO thin layer was tested in a photoelectrochemical process as a photocathode to split water with a simulated light of 1.5 AM (100 mW/cm2). The process of splitting water as a method of producing hydrogen energy by photoelectrochemistry is assisted by semiconductors, such as CuO, in an electrolyte solution to capture photons and drive the water-splitting reactions. Copper (II) Oxide (CuO) is a p-type semiconductor with a band gap of 1.2-2.5 eV, which can be used as a photocathode. The optimum photoelectrochemical measurement results were obtained at an annealing temperature of 400°C and 50 drops with a current density of 0.584 mA/cm2 at a potential of 0.2 V versus the Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE). The results of the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis show that the morphology of the oxide is spherical. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis displays that the sample contained 51.46% and 48.54% of Cu and O, respectively. The X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) analysis shows that the oxide grain size is 44.137 nm.
The Effectiveness of Adding Red Fruit Oil (Pandanus conoideus Lamk.) into Ethanol Extract of Temulawak rhizome (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) as Antioxidant
Authors: Purbaya Sari , Aisyah Lilis Siti , Nopitasari Dona
Published: December 2020

Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb (temulawak) is a native Indonesian plant; ethnobotanically, it can facilitate breast milk, body fresheners, stomach lozenges, and seizure medications. Temulawak contains essential oils, curcuminoids, and xanthorrhizol. Curcuminoids and xanthorrhizol have potential as antioxidants. Antioxidants in the body are useful for preventing oxidation reactions caused by free radicals, both from body metabolism and external factors. Curcuminoids are difficult to dissolve in water and have a very low bioavailability. Combining curcuminoids with oil can increase the absorption of curcuminoids into the systemic system. The low solubility and bioavailability can be overcome by combining temulawak rhizome extract and red fruit oil. Pandanus conoideus Lamk (red fruit), ethnobotanically, effectively prevents blindness, intestinal worms, skin diseases, and increasing stamina. Red fruit contains vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and β-carotene, potentially as antioxidants. Each sample of Curcuma and red fruit, as well as a mixture of Curcuma and red fruit samples, were tested for their antioxidant activity using the DPPH method (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl). The ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has intense antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 55.21 ppm. Red fruit oil has feeble antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 2604.77 ppm. The 1: 1 ratio between red fruit oil and the ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has weak antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of only 1568.24 ppm. Meanwhile, the 1:10 ratio of red fruit oil and ethanol extract of temulawak rhizome has robust antioxidant activity because it has an IC50 of 19.85 ppm. It is concluded that the addition of oil to the ethanol extract of Curcuma can increase antioxidant activity.

Published: December 2020

Andisol soil contains a lot of heavy metals Al and Fe, which results in P being unavailable to plants and can cause low soil pH, this will inhibit plant growth. One effort that can be made to increase the availability of nutrients in the soil is by utilizing soil enhancing ingredients enriched with biological fertilizers. The research design used was factorial randomized block design (RBD) consisting of: Factor I: (biological fertilizers) M0 = without application, M1 = Talaromyces pinophilus (Hedgecock), M2 = Azotobacter sp, M3 = Mycorrhizae, M4 = Talaromyces pinophilus + mycorrhizae + Azotobacter sp. Factor II Soil enhancing ingredients, namely P0 = Without Soil Improvement, K1 = Zeolite 50 g, K2 = Humic acid 50 ml, K3 = compost / manure fertilizer for agriculture 50 g. From the results the combination of microbial treatment and soil conditioner can increase nitrogen in the soil by 2-40.81 %, cation exchange capacity by 1.7-44.29 % and P available by 1.3-49.36 %. Soil conditioner combined with biological fertilizers can improve soil quality in general, the best treatment is a combination treatment of T. pinophilus + mycorrhizae + Azotobacter sp. with coffee skin (M4P4).
Interpretation of Glass Composition Measurements: The Effects of Match Criteria on Discrimination Capability
Authors: Koons RD , Buscaglia JA
Published: December 2020

The concentrations of ten elements in 209 unrelated glass specimens received as evidence were used to assess the frequencies of errors of false association (Type II errors) using several comparison criteria at specified significance levels (Type I errors). Pairwise comparisons of the samples using either the equal-variance t-test or Welch's modification (unequal variances) result in a small number of errors of false association, even when adjusting the significance level (Bonferroni correction) for multivariate comparisons. At the 95% confidence level (overall Type I error of 0.05, or individual element comparison error of 0.005), only two Type II errors are made in 21736 comparisons (0.009%) when using the equal-variance t-test for comparison of sample means. In this study, the range overlap test using three replicate measurements per specimen results in no errors of false association. Most specimen pairs in this data set are readily discriminated either by differences in the concentrations of several elements or by an extremely large difference in the concentrations of one or more element.
The Influence of Behavior on Freefall Injury Patterns: Possible Implications for Forensic Anthropological Investigations
Authors: Christensen AM
Published: December 2020

Case studies of freefall injuries suggest that most falls from heights result in lower extremity, pelvic, and vertebral fractures. These injuries are largely a consequence of the fact that most falls are accidental with victims landing feet first. This study investigates whether human behavioral response affects body orientation at impact and whether the human body tends to align in a particular way as a result of physical laws. The investigation was undertaken by observing nine experimental falls of an anthropomorphic dummy from a height of 65 ft (9.8 m). In all nine falls, the dummy landed horizontally, suggesting that the human form has a tendency to align horizontally during freefall for falls greater than 50 ft (15.24 m). This has important implications for the potential use of injury patterns in the deduction of pre-fall circumstances, which are discussed here with respect to a case study of a fall victim.
The Determination of Nicotine and Sulfate in Supermarket Ground Beef Adulterated with Black Leaf 40
Authors: Dasenbrock CO , Ciolino LA , Hatfield CL , Jackson DS
Published: December 2020

In December 2002, approximately 250 lbs. of ground beef was adulterated with nicotine sulfate by a supermarket employee and subsequently sold to the public. Soon afterward, reports of illness associated with ground beef purchased at a single store were identified. Authorities suspected the ground beef was tainted with Black Leaf 40, a banned pesticide containing approximately 40% nicotine as nicotine sulfate. Ground beef submitted to our laboratory was analyzed in concert by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and high performance anion exchange chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection. GC-MS was used to identify the samples that contained nicotine. The nicotine was confirmed and quantitated by HPLC-UV. The sulfate was identified and quantitated by high performance anion exchange chromatography with suppressed conductivity detection. Our analysis revealed that the raw tainted beef contained about 350 mg/kg nicotine free base, a potentially lethal dose of nicotine per serving for an adult. Additionally, we found elevated sulfate levels in the samples that tested positive for nicotine, providing evidence that nicotine sulfate was the probable adulterant.
Metabolic Syndrome “Interacts” With COVID-19

Published: December 2020

Significance statement

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread worldwide and has exerted a great influence on public health and society, urging scientists to find efficient therapeutics. Metabolic disturbance involving various organs has been found in these patients, including diabetes, fatty liver, acute kidney injury (AKI), etc. In turn, these preexisting metabolic syndromes could exacerbate COVID-19. In this review, we focus on the close interaction between COVID-19 and metabolic syndrome, as well as the potential of repurposing metabolic-related drugs and the importance of treating metabolic diseases in COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has emerged as a global pandemic and poses a great threat to public health and society in general. SARS-CoV-2 invades cells via its spike protein, which initiates endocytosis via its binding to host receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and membrane fusion after being cleaved by the serine protease, TMPRSS2. The most common clinical manifestations are fever, dry cough, fatigue and abnormalities on chest computed tomography (CT). However, some patients rapidly progress to severe pneumonia and develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 triggers a severe cytokine storm, which may explain the deterioration of pre-existing metabolic disorders. Interestingly, conversely, underlying metabolic-related diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., are associated with progression and poor prognosis of COVID-19. The putative mechanisms are dysregulation of ACE2, impaired immunity especially uncontrolled hyperinflammation, hypercoagulability, etc. In this review, we summarize the crosstalk between COVID-19 and metabolic diseases and propose that in addition to controlling COVID-19, more intensive attention should be paid to the symptomatic treatment and prevention of pre-existing and foreseeable metabolic comorbidities.
Bridging the Digital Divide in a Remote Elementary School

Published: December 2020

This case study is a teacher’s reflection of invisible work when I initiated an instructional technology project that aimed to close digital inequality in a remote elementary school in Taiwan. 13 One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO laptops were deployed to 2nd and 5th grade children and I taught their science classes during June 2011 to January 2012. My field reflections revealed that invisible work was necessary in order to sustain, protect, and expand students’ opportunity to use their XO laptops in the school. In conclusion, public awareness about teachers’ invisible work is critical and should be studied, reported, and recognized by the field of educational research.
CONOSCERE E CARTOGRAFARE L’IRAN, SPIE E CARTE DI IERI E DI OGGI. PIETRO DELLA VALLE E I VIAGGIATORI EUROPEI NELLA PERSIA DEL PRIMO ‘600 ALLA LUCE DEL PRESENTE
Authors: Mauriello Raffaele
Published: December 2020

Una delle caratteristiche della prima età moderna è lo sviluppo della cartografia. Fra il 1450 e il 1650 le carte passarono da rappresentare il mondo in modo medievale, in termini di orbis terrae, a una divisione del globo terrestre in segmenti formati da reticolati e coordinate.

Questo cambio fu dovuto in particolare ai numerosi viaggi di esplorazione o avventura e di natura diplomatica intrapresi in quegli anni dagli europei. Anche l’Italia vanta nomi importanti di viaggiatori che contribuirono a questo sviluppo. Nel caso dell’Iran, che all’epoca gli europei chiamavano Persia, il “nostro uomo” è Pietro della Valle (1586-1652). Lui c’era, e con lui lo sguardo e gli interessi dell’Italia, rappresentata all’epoca dallo Stato della Chiesa e dalla Repubblica di Venezia.

Ma della Valle non era solo. Con lui c’erano anche l’inglese Sir Robert Sherley, il tedesco Heinrich von Poser und Groß Naedlitz e lo spagnolo don García de Silva y Figueroa. Essi, ed altri che li seguirono, cercarono di informarsi ed influire sugli affari dell’Iran e della più ampia geopolitica del Vicino Oriente, contribuendo al contempo attraverso i loro resoconti di viaggio ed altri scritti a cartografare il paese.

Mutatis mutandis e in alcuni casi letteralmente sulle tracce dei loro predecessori, oggi come ieri i viaggiatori europei continuano ad interessarsi del paese, e del suo rapporto con l’Europa.
Areas with Abandoned and Vacant Properties in Croatia
Authors: Lončar Sanja , Pavić Dario
Published: December 2020

This paper explores the phenomenon of areas with a large number of abandoned and vacant properties that have a significant impact on the life of communities in economic, environmental and socio-cultural terms. Although the phenomenon has been present in some parts of Europe and the USA for a number of decades, it has become more prevalent in recent decades. The aim of this paper is to explore whether the phenomenon of abandonment is present in contemporary Croatia, as a complex network of negative demographic, social, economic and environmental causes and impacts. Furthermore, the aim is to create a theoretical framework for research into areas with a large number of abandoned or vacant properties in Croatia. Quantitative analyses of key indicators, content analysis of published media and official documents, and ethnographic field research show that abandoned areas are certainly present in Croatia, as are local initiatives to mitigate the negative situation. The recognition of this phenomenon at national, regional and local level needs to be accompanied by the development of an interdisciplinary research methodology, policies and regeneration strategies. Some guidelines on these matters are provided at the end of the paper.

Activities of two classes of neutral proteases were studied: caspases and proteasomes, which are contained in extracellular vesicles generated by mesenchymal and hematopoietic human stem cells (MSCs and HSCs, respectively). The formation of apoptosomes induced by the cytochrome C and dATP did not occurred in these cells. The presence of TNFa in the culture medium of HSCs causes the appearance of caspase-3 intracellular activity. Herewith caspase activity was detected in exosomes also. This activity was completely inhibited by a non-substrate caspase inhibitor, emricasane, and it was not sensitive to proteasome inhibitors. It is assumed that the caspases’ activity from the cultural medium is the sum of membrane (outer side of exosome membrane), intracellular and extracellular activities. Apparently, this activity refers to apoptosomes as it was revealed by gel filtration of cultural medium with TNFa free from exosomes. Thus, TNFa induces the appearance of neutrophils in the culture of HSCs or the generation of other differentiated cells that are capable of apoptosis, in contrast to HSCs or MSCs. Proteasomal activity increased noticeably in exosomes from HSCs after the addition of TNFa. In contrast to exosomes from MSCs, all activity of proteasomes in HSCs-produced exosomes had a membrane localization.

Sports hernias are diagnosed in over 80% of athletes presenting with chronic groin pain. The genotype distributions of the examined polymorphisms were studied in 95 football players, all males, using the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) questionnaire. DNA extracted from buccal epithelium. Statistical calculations were performed in the R statistical environment (r-project.org) and Odds ratios (OR) were used to estimate genotype associations. Multifactor dimensionality reduction was used to identify multiple sports hernia susceptibility loci.Two single nucleotide polymorphisms MCT1 rs1049434 and COL1A1 rs1800012 are associated with sports hernias (63% testing accuracy shown by random forest). According to the HAGOS questionnaire outcomes, exercise-related pain, reduced mobility, and range of motion in the groin and thigh are typically associated with sports hernia diagnosis (75% testing accuracy shown by random forest).The combination of genetic research and HAGOS questionnaire helped obtain a sensitivity of 93% for the detection of sports hernia. Active engagement in sport is the most important risk factor for sports hernia, so the identification genes SNP in footballers may contribute to taking timely preventive actions. This study is the first demonstration of an association between sports hernia and COL1A1 rs1800012 genotype. The study discovered a synergistic interaction between the indicated polymorphism and the gene polymorphism MCT1 rs1049434. Further investigations are required to study the association between COL12A1 rs240736 gene SNP and sports hernia.

For the first time the importance of mineralogical and lithological-petrographical ranks in the line of geological information ranks is substantiated for implementation of long-term forecasts, standard and non-standard approaches to research of physical and geochemical parameters as a basis of creation of complex system of forecast criteria and prospecting indicators of hydrocarbons within the sedimentary cover of Black sea based on the theory of global fluid-flows derivation. These criteria have different sensitivity to the object (hydrocarbon deposits) and are therefore ranked. The ranking determined the following parameters: 1) seismic data within the object, obtained by the method of deep seismic sounding, RWM SDP; 2) parameters of tectono-geodynamic structures; 3) the main characteristics of sedimentary cover and bedrock; 4) geochemical characteristics; 5) parameters of mineral complexes and fluid inclusions in mineral neoformations; 6) the value of the distribution of meiobenthos. Based on modern views of oil and gas geology, structural-tectonic and lithological-facies criteria are among the main ones. The study of the mineralogical component of sediments is made with using mineralogical, thermobarogeochemical and X-ray spectral methods. Fixation of anomalies of fluid flow at the bottom of the Black Sea as to the distribution of abiotic parameters in order to assess the prospects of oil and gas is determined by structural and tectonic features and high permeability of fluid flow; parameters of mineral complexes (minerals, facies) and genetic connections; heterogeneity of geochemical characteristics of bottom sediments; the presence of hydrocarbon inclusions in authigenic minerals of bottom sediments.

The results of long-term observations on the geochemical peculiarities of technogenic lead distribution in atmospheric aerosol of Zaporizhia, as well as in soils, bottom sediments, suspended matter from Dnipro river and substance from wet gas filters of open-hearth furnaces PJSC Zaporizhstal are presented. The actual material was obtained on the basis of comprehensive field monitoring during 2015-2019. Simultaneous involvement of data on hydrometeorological conditions (seasonality, precipitation, wind speeds, directions and duration) in the study area provided a integral approach to the processing and generalization of research results. A number of peculiarities of sedimentary substance distribution in air, interrelations of its anthropogenic and natural components are defined. Correlations were revealed between lead concentrations changes and aeolian mineral component distribution, seasonality, and a number of other factors. The highest concentration of lead was found in solid aerosol particles accumulated by the sedimentary trap at the monitoring site. It was revealed that the average concentration of investigated element in river suspension of Dnipro exceeds significantly background values, and for soils exceeds more than 3.5 times the permissible norms. At the same time, the fixed form of lead in atmospheric aerosol, in contrast to other environmental objects, loses its domination, giving the way to easily soluble forms, so the evidence of environmental hazard. Monitoring of seasonal patterns of the element distribution in the city air showed excess concentrations in the cold period of the year, which, according to the authors, is due to both meteorological conditions and redistribution of natural and anthropogenic factors that serve the driving force in processes of arriving and conversion of lead in atmosphere during different seasons of the year.
Mixed values and societal constraints: why the request for a "strong hand" will not lead to authoritarianism in Ukraine
Authors: Matsiyevsky Yuriy
Published: December 2020

Given the global rise of illiberalism and Ukraine’s own post-revolutionary turbulence, what are the risks that the war-torn society descends to authoritarianism? In contrast to numerous alerts, I argue that none of the modern forms of authoritarianism is likely in post-Euromaidan Ukraine. There are at least three groups of structural, institutional, and agency based factors that make the emergence of the authoritarian regime in Ukraine highly improbable. These are: poor leadership legitimacy, poor economy performance, regional polarization, weak state repressive capacity, the relative weakness of the ‘party of power’, fragmented elite structure, the growing linkage with the West, semi-presidentialism, institutionalized hybridity (the legacy of being hybrid regime), lack of charismatic leadership, mixed public attitudes and gravity of three (1990, 2004, 2014) waves of anti-authoritarian protest. Theoretically, this article draws on the congruence theory, which posits that the regime is stable in so far as its authority pattern meets people’s authority beliefs. The empirical data from the latest wave of World Values Survey demonstrate that Ukrainians share mixed authority beliefs, as exemplified in liberal and authoritarian notions of democracy. The score of liberal notion of democracy for Ukraine is twice higher than that of authoritarian notion (0.82 to 0.41) and is supported by the growing score of emancipative values. ‘The authoritarian congruence’, therefore is hardly achievable in the post-Euromaidan Ukraine, while any attempt to impose authoritarian rule from above would face the cumulative resistance effect produced by these three groups of factors.
Sociological dimension of economic globalization: world trends and Ukrainian realities (Second part. Social changes in Ukrainian society in the context of economic globalization)
Authors: Petrushyna Tetiana , Arseienko Anatolii
Published: December 2020

Globalization remains the most common and quite controversial concept in modern social discourse. Within the theoretical and conceptual sociological dimension, the authors analyzed the essence of economic globalization (EG) as its defining type. They studied globalization as an objective process (first of all, the international division of labour) and the subjective process of forming a global capitalist economy under the auspices of leading Western countries, supranational financial and economic institutions (primarily the World Bank and the IMF), TNCs. As the main drivers of globalization, they determine its forms and directions in the interests of the "core" of global capitalism. Within the empirical sociological dimension of EG (which involves measuring the various manifestations of the EG process itself as well as its social consequences), the authors paid particular attention to the analysis of social changes in Ukrainian society. The capitalization of the Ukrainian economy, which took place in parallel with Ukraine’s entry into the global economic space, led to degradation of the national economy, significant deterioration of living standards of most citizens, creation of anti-social state with the systemic crisis as its main attribute. To prove these conclusions, the authors analyzed the dynamics of the principal macroeconomic and sociological indicators of Ukrainian society’s life for almost 30 years of drift to the roadside of the global capitalist world, based on the study of numerous domestic and foreign sources. The authors focused on the research of eight critical areas of social changes: deindustrialization of the economy, global competitiveness and innovation, GDP dynamics, employment, income and welfare of the population, socioeconomic inequality, debt dependence and degradation of Ukrainian science. The analysis shows the need to abandon the neoliberal paradigm of development and search for the alternative and more fair models of EG.
Value-driven issues throughout the development of sociological theory
Authors: Chepurko Gulbarshyn , Pylypenko Valerii
Published: December 2020

The paper examines and compares how the major sociological theories treat axiological issues. Value-driven topics are analysed in view of their relevance to society in times of crisis, when both societal life and the very structure of society undergo dramatic change. Nowadays, social scientists around the world are also witnessing such a change due to the emergence of alternative schools of sociological thought (non-classical, interpretive, postmodern, etc.) and, subsequently, the necessity to revise the paradigms that have been existed in sociology so far. Since the above-mentioned approaches are often used to address value-related issues, building a solid theoretical framework for these studies takes on considerable significance. Furthermore, the paradigm revision has been prompted by technological advances changing all areas of people’s lives, especially social interactions. The global human community, integral in nature, is being formed, and production of human values now matters more than production of things; hence the “expansion” of value-focused perspectives in contemporary sociology. The authors give special attention to collectivities which are higher-order units of the social system. These units are described as well-organised action systems where each individual performs his/her specific role. Just as the role of an individual is distinct from that of the collectivity (because the individual and the collectivity are different as units), so too a distinction is drawn between the value and the norm — because they represent different levels of social relationships. Values are the main connecting element between the society’s cultural system and the social sphere while norms, for the most part, belong to the social system. Values serve primarily to maintain the pattern according to which the society is functioning at a given time; norms are essential to social integration. Apart from being the means of regulating social processes and relationships, norms embody the “principles” that can be applied beyond a particular social system. The authors underline that it is important for Ukrainian sociology to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of axiology and make good use of those ideas because this is a prerequisite for its successful integration into the global sociological community.
Post-thrombotic Syndrome: Preventative and Risk Reduction Strategies Following Deep Vein Thrombosis
Authors: Gwozdz Adam M , Black Stephen A , Hunt Beverley J , Lim Chung S
Published: December 2020

Venous disease is common in the general population, with chronic venous disorders affecting 50–85% of the western population and consuming 2–3% of healthcare funding. It, therefore, represents a significant socioeconomic, physical and psychological burden. Acute deep vein thrombosis, although a well-recognised cause of death through pulmonary embolism, can more commonly lead to post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). This article summarises the pathophysiology and risk factor profile of PTS, and highlights various strategies that may reduce the risk of PTS, and the endovenous management of iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. The authors summarise the advances in PTS risk reduction strategies and present the latest evidence for discussion.
