Authors: Cipora Krzysztof , Santos Flávia H. , Kucian Karin , Dowker Ann
Published: November 2021

In this paper we list ten fairly undisputed claims about Mathematics Anxiety (MA) and propose where MA research should focus including theoretical clarifications on what MA is, and what constitutes its opposite pole, discussion on construct validity, specifically relations between self-descriptive, (neuro)physiological and cognitive measures; discussion of the discrepancy between state and trait MA and theoretical and practical consequences; discussion of prevalence of MA and need for establishing external criteria for estimating prevalence and proposal of such criteria, and exploration of the effects of MA in different groups, such us highly anxious and high math-performing individuals; classroom applications of MA knowledge; the effects of MA outside educational settings; and the consequences of MA on mental health and well-being.
Namere o vakcinisanju dece protiv kovida-19: verodostoјnost informaciјa i emocionalno-kognitivna pobuđenost
Authors: Damnjanović Kaja , Lep Zan , Ilić Sandra
Published: November 2021

The parental decision to vaccinate children presents a specific cognitive and emotional challenge, which is further aggravated by the conditions of the Kovid-19 epidemic and the general discourse on vaccination. It is estimated that the first vaccines for children against Covid-19 will be available in early 2022. In this study, we examined whether emotional-cognitive alertness (ECA) as a consequence of life circumstances due to the epidemic, the assessed credibility of information (CI) from various sources, which is the basis of trust, as well as the general attitude about vaccinating children unrelated to Covid-19, form intentions to vaccinate a child against Kovid-19. The results indicate that the general attitude towards vaccination and ECA are the strongest predictors of the intention to vaccinate a child. This intention is not influenced by the estimated CI representatives of public health, and the connection with the physicians' CI is negative. The epistemic authorities which traditionally represent one of the main supports for parents when deciding on vaccination have an altogether weaker impact than expected.
Bridging Interpersonal and Ecological Dynamics of Cognition through a Systems Framework of Bilingualism
Authors: Tiv Mehrgol , Kutlu Ethan , Gullifer Jason William , Feng Ruo Ying , Doucerain Marina M. , Titone Debra
Published: November 2021

Human cognition occurs within social contexts, and nowhere is this more evident than language behavior. Regularly using multiple languages is a globally ubiquitous, individual experience that is shaped by social environmental forces, ranging from interpersonal interactions to ambient language exposure. Here, we develop a Systems Framework of Bilingualism, where embedded layers of individual, interpersonal, and ecological sociolinguistic factors jointly predict people’s language behavior. Of note, we quantify interpersonal and ecological language dynamics through the novel applications of language-tagged social network analysis and geospatial demographic analysis among 106 English-French bilingual adults in Montréal, Canada. Consistent with a Systems view, we found that people’s individual language behavior, on a global level (i.e., overall language use), was jointly predicted by the language characteristics of their interpersonal social networks and the ambient linguistic patterns of their residential neighborhood environments, whereas more granular aspects of language behavior (i.e., word-level proficiency) was mainly driven by local, interpersonal social networks. Together, this work offers a novel theoretical framework, bolstered by innovative analytic techniques to quantify complex social information and empower more holistic assessments of multifaceted human behaviors and cognition, like language.
A Systematic Review of Worldwide Causal and Correlational Evidence on Digital Media and Democracy
Authors: Lorenz-Spreen Philipp , Oswald Lisa , Lewandowsky Stephan , Hertwig Ralph
Published: November 2021

One of today's most controversial and consequential issues is whether the global uptake of digital media is causally related to a decline in democracy. We conducted a systematic review of causal and correlational evidence (N=496 articles) on the link between digital media use and different political variables. Some associations, such as increasing political participation and information consumption, are likely to be beneficial for democracy and were often observed in autocracies and emerging democracies. Other associations, such as declining political trust, increasing populism, and growing polarization, are likely to be detrimental to democracy and were more pronounced in established democracies. While the impact of digital media on political systems depends on the specific variable and system in question, several variables show clear directions of associations. The evidence calls for research efforts and vigilance by governments and civil societies to better understand, design and regulate the interplay of digital media and democracy.

Authors: Skorokhod Iryna , Pavlikha Nataliia
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the research is to determine the organizational, legislative and regulatory framework for the standardization and certification of the rural green tourism as an unconventional business pattern and a type of environmental services. Methods. In the process of research, systematic and integrated approaches were used, which provided a comprehensive study of the problem and the achievement of scientific results. Methodological basis of the research are general theoretical methods of scientific knowledge, in particular dialectic method, system analysis, fundamental positions of general economic theory. The graphical method was used to visualize the structural diagrams. In addition, general scientific and special methods were used in the study such as dialectical, monographic, non-lethal, induction and deduction, which allowed them to be used to determine the organizational, legislative and regulatory framework for the standardization and certification of the rural green tourism. Results. The article discusses issues concerning the legislative and regulatory framework for the standardization and certification of the rural green tourism in Ukraine. Methodological approaches how to standardize and certify the rural ecotourism are presented too. Innovative factors, having an impact on the rural green tourism evolution in the Ukrainian regions, have been indicated herein. Some attention has been focused on the need for the ecological certification and audit of the various territories, administrative regions, natural and economic systems of the country in general. The necessity of using marks for the legal protection of geographical indications has been determined. It has been proven that the voluntary ecological certification certifies some compliance with the requirements of laws, technical regulations, best practices, good rules, national and industry standards both for the tourism and, in general, for the adherence of requirements as to the environment quality maintenance. Practical meaning. A rural ecological tourism standardization and certification system, accelerating the adaptation of the Ukrainian regulatory and legislative framework to the EU standards, improving the tourism product quality, based on European standards and environmental regulations, helping attract foreign investments and develop the rural green tourism infrastructure and material bases, has been built grounding on the deep study of the present issues. Prospects for further research. The results obtained herein determine the need for the further improvement of the methodological criteria developed for the certification of rural green tourism farmsteads. It will lead to the market promotion of environmental services, to the increase in the number of foreign tourists and to the rise in the competitiveness of Ukraine as the player of the international market of tourist services.
Staphylococcus Aureus Colonization In Atopic Dermatitis Patients
Authors: Harfouch Nora , Hassan Fouz
Published: November 2021

Background:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that induces several symptoms including pruritus and dryness, and is often associated with secondary cutaneous infections. AD is considered to be one of the most prevalent and studied skin diseases yet poorly understood, and its pathophysiology remains obscure. Even though other skin diseases (such as psoriasis) share the same pathologic factor -skin barrier defect - with atopic dermatitis, patients diagnosed with those diseases don't suffer infectious exacerbations like atopic patients do. Aim: Although many international researches have already discussed the relationship between staphylococcus aureus and AD, no studies about this subject in the Arabic region was documented. The aim of our study is to compare staphylococcus aureus colonization rates and densities between atopic dermatitis patients and non-atopic subjects, and to relate the colonization to the severity and duration of the disease. Materials and methods: This observational analytic study included 200 participants (99 diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and 101 control subjects without atopic dermatitis); nasal and skin swabs (lesional and non-lesional) were collected from patients, while nasal and only normal skin swabs were collected from controls. Positive swabs were assessed to determine the density of colonization. Results: 57.6% of patients had nasal colonization, 56.6% had lesional colonization and 30.3% had normal skin colonization. Nasal colonization rates and densities were higher in the patients group. We detected a correlation between colonization and severity of eczema, but no correlation between colonization and duration of the disease was detected. Conclusion: The high rates and densities of staphylococcus aureus colonization in lesional skin of atopic dermatitis patients point out the role of these organisms in the pathophysiology of the disease, put antibiotics on the treatment list of atopic dermatitis and explain infectious features in AD exacerbations.

Published: November 2021

The article presents the results of a study carried out by a team of specialists for two years. It is devoted to the study of the role of the socially enriched environment of additional education in the development of personal agency of generation Z adolescents. Various theoretical approaches to understanding the phenomenon of are analyzed, and the author's view of its structure is presented. Personal agency is considered as an integrated personality characteristic, which manifests itself in the personality's ability to self-organization and selfrealization, to build a system of effective social interactions and moral and value relationships with people around and aimed at realizing the activity-related need for self-development and world-creation. It singles out such components as social-individual, social-communicative, social-interactive, social-moral. To diagnose the level of development of these components of personal agency, a complex of psychodiagnostics techniques is proposed. In the course of the experiments, it was shown that, in comparison with adolescents who are not included in the activities of the additional education system, adolescents participating in it demonstrate a greater focus on socially oriented activities, they have a better idea of their future profession, the ability to take responsibility for their actions. They work more effectively with information obtained from Internet resources, demonstrate a higher level of self-government in communication, and are more active in interacting with others. Altruistic attitudes are more common among them; in the hierarchy of life values, independence is given a high value.

The role of grassroots administrators in building international partnerships
Authors: Qu Mei
Published: November 2021

This article explores how grassroots administrators interact with various other actors in the process of forming international partnerships. A top-down and a bottom-up case of building international partnerships for masters and PhD programmes were selected from my fieldwork in a Danish university. The cases were elaborated and analysed using Tatiana Fumasoli’s organisational approach to multi-level governance in higher education. This article concludes that with their personal networks and knowledge about the normative frameworks of certain powerful actors, grassroots administrators could help academic staff who might not know the regulations involved in the internationalisation process, to balance their own interests with their intention of complying with the normative frameworks, and thus enhance their capacities of forming and participating in a successful international partnership.
Θεωρία in the Exegetical Works of St. John Chrysostom
Authors: Тимофеев Борис
Published: November 2021

В современных научных исследованиях наблюдается тенденция сформировать единый словарь специальных экзегетических терминов и единую семантико-интерпретационную модель. Для определения методов толкования и смыслов Священного Писания нередко привлекаются греческие слова, заимствованные из античной греческой литературы, например: ἀλληγορία, ἀναγωγή, θεωρία. Полученная в результате модель часто применяется как шаблон для анализа и описания древних экзегетических памятников. При этом многие исследователи совершенно выпускают из вида узус самих древних экзегетов, что приводит к подмене понятий и искажению мысли древних авторов. Так в описании экзегетического метода свт. Иоанна Златоуста часто вводят термин «θεωρία», который обозначает одновременно и духовный смысл Писания и соответствующий метод его раскрытия. Златоуст действительно использует слово «θεωρία», однако при этом не подразумевает никакого специального технического определения метода или смысла духовной экзегезы.

In modern scientific research, there is a tendency to form a single dictionary of special exegetical terms and a single semantic-interpretative model. Greek words borrowed from ancient Greek literature are often used to determine the methods of interpretation and the meanings of Scripture, for example: ἀλληγορία, ἀναγωγή, θεωρία. The resulting model is often used as a template for the analysis and description of ancient exegetical monuments. At the same time, many researchers completely disregard the ancient exegetes themselves, which leads to a substitution of concepts and distortion of the thoughts of ancient authors. So in the description of the exegetical method of St. John Chrysostom often coined the term «θεωρία», which designates both the spiritual meaning of Scripture and the corresponding method of its disclosure. St. John Chrysostom does use the word θεωρία, however, it does not imply any special technical definition of the method or the meaning of spiritual exegesis.

Authors: Liu Hongrui , Shetty Rahul Ramachandra
Published: November 2021

In the US, over 38,000 people die in road crashes each year, and 2.35 million are injured or disabled, according to the statistics report from the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT) in 2020. In addition, traffic congestion keeping Americans stuck on the road wastes millions of hours and billions of dollars each year. Using statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms, this research developed accurate predictive models for traffic congestion and road accidents to increase understanding of the complex causes of these challenging issues. The research used US Accidents data consisting of 49 variables describing 4.2 million accident records from February 2016 to December 2020, as well as logistic regression, tree-based techniques such as Decision Tree Classifier and Random Forest Classifier (RF), and Extreme Gradient boosting (XG-boost) to process and train the models. These models will assist people in making smart real-time transportation decisions to improve mobility and reduce accidents.
THREE TIME PERIODS OF THE FORMATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL OF APPLIED GEOMETRY OF THE KIEV NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Botvinovska Svitlana , Kovalov Sergiy , Mostovenko Oleksandr
Published: November 2021

The main historical periods of the scientific school of applied geometry of the Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture are presented. The main three stages of the formation of the school are considered - from the beginning of the creation of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics to the present.

Today, the scientific school of applied geometry of the KNUSA has many unresolved tasks and current problems. In recent years, the number of people wishing to defend candidate and doctoral dissertations has decreased significantly. In accordance with this, the work of the department in training young scientists has decreased, the number of graduate students and doctoral students has decreased. In addition, despite the fact that applied geometry is applied science, it is quite difficult today to establish ties with production, to introduce into production the latest results of scientific work of graduate students and applicants. Therefore, the main task of the department today is to preserve the traditions of the scientific school of applied geometry of KNUBA.

The further work of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics of KNUBA will be aimed at ensuring that the scientific school does not cease to exist, but continues to develop and expand.
APPLICATION OF PARAMETRIZATION OF CHARACTERISTIC CROSS SECTIONS OF OBJECTS FOR INDIRECT PARAMETRIZATION OF THEIR 3D MODELS IN AUTOCAD CAD
Authors: Gnitetska Tetjana , Gnitetska Galyna , Motulyov Dmitriy
Published: November 2021

The developed algorithm of indirect parametrization of 3d model of a typical part by means of parametrization of its longitudinal section is presented in the work. Controlling the shape of 3d objects by parameterizing their 2d cross-sections allows, using AutoCAD CAD, to create variants of electronic models of parts, the same type in geometry and different in size characteristics. This saves resources that are spent on design work. The proposed algorithm for creating parameterized 3d models in the CAD environment AutoCAD can be used in engineering practice. Currently, methodological developments have been introduced into the educational process at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute named after Igor Sikorsky when teaching the course "Engineering and Computer Graphics".
The internationalization of domestic banks and the credit channel of monetary policy
Authors: Morales Paola , Osorio-Rodíguez Daniel , Lemus-Esquivel Juan S. , Sarmiento Miguel
Published: November 2021

How does the expansion of domestic banks in international markets affect the bank lending channel of monetary policy? Using bank-firm loan-level data, we find that loan growth and loan rates from international banks respond less to monetary policy changes than domestic banks and that internationalization partially mitigates the risk-taking channel of monetary policy. Banks with a large international presence tend to tolerate more their credit risk exposition relative to domestic banks. Moreover, international banks tend to rely more on foreign funding when policy rates change, allowing them to insulate better the monetary policy changes from their credit supply than domestic banks. This result is consistent with the predictions of the internal capital markets hypothesis. We also show that macroprudential FX regulation reduces banks with high FX exposition access to foreign funding, ultimately contributing to monetary policy transmission. Overall, our results suggest that the internationalization of banks lowers the potency of the bank lending channel. Furthermore, it diminishes the risk-taking channel of monetary policy within the limit established by macroprudential FX regulations.

Gamified Blood Donors System Based on Intelligent Agents
Authors: Mugi Karanja James , Njoroge Harrison
Published: November 2021

The population of the country of Kenya is drastically increasing thus causing the number of possible blood donors to rise. Despite this, the blood collected and stored in most blood banks is not enough to cater for the huge demand. The demand has been due to increase of number of accidents experienced in the country and the advancement in medical procedures which calls for organ transplant and blood transfusion. Even though systems have been developed which can connect the donors and recipients and location tracking, most people are dying because they don`t get this vital commodity in good time. The process of donating blood has not been enticing. There is nothing that prompts a person to donate blood. This call for developing a gamified blood donor management system based on intelligent agents so as to increase the number of donors and keep the system performance at optimal level. The project adopts Goal-Oriented Methodology in the system development process. Two agents are developed: donors’ agent and the blood admin agent. The intelligent agents help in profiles personalization thus improving the system performance. Gamification technique is implemented in the system so as to increase the traffic of blood donors interacting with the system and participating in the donation exercise. This increase the number of blood donors hence enough blood is collected to cater for the huge demand.
Epic Portrayal of the Scottish Icon: Margaret Holford’s Wallace; or, The Fight of Falkirk
Authors: DÜRÜKOĞLU Okaycan
Published: November 2021

Margaret Holford (1778-1852) was an English poet, translator, and novelist who continuously published her works between the years 1809 and 1838. Although Holford can be considered as a prolific writer in the early nineteenth century, her works do not find a place in today’s canon and she has become one of the forgotten women poets of the Pre-Victorian period. In The Wallace; or, the Fight of Falkirk, she recounted the last days of William Wallace who was a Scottish patriot and a Guardian of Scotland. This article aims to analyze Holford’s poem as an example of an epic poem since she employs the characteristics of the epic genre in her work. The analysis of Holford’s work provides an important insight into the issue of women’s participation in the male-dominated epic genre. Although it was believed that women were not capable of writing epic poems in terms of their lack of formal education and intellectual capacity, there was a small group of women poets who produced long heroic poems in the early nineteenth century and Holford was one of them. From this vantage point, the fundamental purpose of this study is to show to what extent Margaret Holford’s poem epitomizes the epic genre. In a broader perspective, the paper aims to underline the contributions of Holford, who has been pushed to the margins for more than two centuries, to women’s writing.
Surveying the Afterlives of Shakespeare’s Poetry in Arden Shakespeare’s On Shakespeare’s Sonnets
Authors: ÖZMEN AKDOĞAN Özlem
Published: November 2021

The Arden Shakespeare published a poetry collection titled On Shakespeare’s Sonnets in 2016 in which several contemporary poets have responded to one Shakespearean sonnet of their choice. Most of the themes in the sonnets such as the transience of earthly life, the endurance of love, and the procreation of beauty are retained in their modern versions. However, recent approaches to these themes do not follow the sonnet tradition due to the poets’ adherence to modern topics, as seen in the poems of Douglas Dunn, Jackie Kay, and Andrew Motion, and an emphasis on realism instead of the romanticised exaggerations in the sonnet genre, as observed in the poems by Alan Jenkins, Carol Ann Duffy, and Elaine Feinstein. In some of these poems, love for the beloved, for instance, is treated alternatively as a temporary feeling that cannot endure the passing of time. The platonic ideal of love for the beloved is reconstituted with a mother’s compassion for her son. The idea of the procreation of beauty is replaced with an adoration of the regenerative power of nature. In some others, the influence of the contemporary context is evident with indications of urban images such as traffic, technology, and shopping malls. Through such examples, this paper aims to discuss some of the rewritten versions of Shakespeare’s sonnets to explore the idea that recontextualisation and subversion of the source text are central to the practice of Shakespearean adaptation despite the initial tenet of the production of this particular collection, which is to celebrate Shakespeare’s literary heritage.

Introdução: O câncer de mama está entre as neoplasias mais comuns entre as mulheres no mundo, representando 29,7% (66.280) dos casos novos no Brasil. Também corresponde à principal causa de óbitos (16,1%, 16.724) nesse grupo. O linfedema neoplásico é um processo maligno do carcinoma de mama não muito comum, significando progressão da doença. O tratamento padrão-ouro para o linfedema é a terapia complexa descongestiva (TCD) com a finalidade de reduzir e manter o volume do membro, além de aumentar a qualidade de vida do paciente. Entretanto, o tratamento para o linfedema neoplásico é pouco explorado na literatura. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar e relatar o impacto da TCD no controle da sintomatologia e volume do linfedema neoplásico. Relato do caso: Paciente com câncer de mama em tratamento paliativo com linfedema neoplásico no membro superior homolateral. O tratamento fisioterapêutico proposto para essa paciente foi a TCD adaptada, dividida em duas fases. A primeira consistiu em reduzir o volume do linfedema, por meio de orientações de cuidados com a pele, exercícios passivos (em razão da monoplegia e restrição articular) e enfaixamento compressivo. Apesar de não ter sido realizada drenagem linfática, o tratamento demonstrou melhora significativa na redução do volume no membro superior esquerdo com perda de 1.045,58 ml entre o início e o final da primeira fase. A segunda fase foi dirigida à manutenção, indicando o uso da braçadeira compressiva para controle do volume. Conclusão: A TCD adaptada pode ser uma opção para minimizar o volume do linfedema neoplásico.

Introdução: O schwanoma e um tumor pouco frequente que se origina das células de Schwann que recobrem os prolongamentos nervosos. A malignidade desses tumores e ainda mais rara, correspondendo a 5-10% de todos os sarcomas. O prognostico e reservado, mesmo após completa ressecção cirúrgica. Relato do caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 79 anos, apresentou-se com lesão crostosa em perna esquerda com dois meses de evolução. A biopsia da lesão inicialmente revelou sarcoma pleomórfico, mas seu padrão imuno-histoquímico confirmou tumor maligno da bainha do nervo periférico. O tumor desenvolveu metástase linfonodal, pulmonar e adrenal dentro de poucos anos após o diagnostico inicial. A ressecção do tumor adrenal não foi possível. O paciente desenvolveu síndrome paraneoplásica e teve piora do estado clinico, evoluindo a óbito. Conclusão: Tendo em vista a forma inespecífica do aparecimento do tumor e sua agressividade, e importante ressaltar o papel da ressecção cirúrgica ampla no seu tratamento. Além disso, fica evidente a necessidade de novos relatos desse tipo de neoplasia para melhor definição de uma conduta mais apropriada, principalmente em casos de recorrência ou disseminação metastática.
