Authors: Aulia Teuku Nanta , Iqbal Muhammad , Guranda M irfan
Published: May 2023

Spinal cord injury is one of the main reasons for permanent paralysis and immobility till now. Spine injury is usually fatal because it involves more than one component, such as discoligamentous misconfiguration, vascular and spinal cord damage. Spine dislocation fracture at the level of C2-3 is rare and usually affects one or two vertebras. Good functional outcome in spine injury is uncommon in which death almost always happens suddenly or is caused by secondary trauma. Emergency room with a cervical spine injury. The patient was pushed by his friends from the side during playtime, causing the neck to hit the corner of a table. The dislocation fracture at the level of C2-3 and spinal cord compression directly caused tetraplegia. The condition was handled with a decompression procedure, spine fusion at the level of C1-4, and posterior stabilization with pedicle screws. A day after the operation, minimal movements were seen in both arms and legs, with motoric strength of 2/2/2/2. The score improved to 4/4/4/4 after two weeks of meds and physiotherapy. The patient started to write again in week 3. The dislocation fracture in this patient caused spinal cord compression. A retropulsion fracture fragment can be displaced to the spinal canal and potentially cause further spinal cord damage. Displacement towards the anterior horn leads to motoric dysfunction. Dislocation fracture at the level of C2-3 hinders neurotransmitter impulse, causing total paralysis on all extremities with intact sensory function. The patient had temporary external stabilization around the neck area while waiting for the procedure. The management concept in cases like this includes affected spinal cord decompression and internal fixation using pedicle screws to ensure fracture stabilization.

ON MODELLING OF THE CONCEPT “CRIME” VIA AUTOINTERTEXTUALITY (based on R.Dahl's writing style)
Authors: Makaryan Anahit , Harutyunyan Shogher
Published: May 2023

The present article engages with multidimensional analysis of autointertextuality, putting forward a cognitive approach based on V. Evans’ Cognitive Model and Lexical Concepts (LCCM) Theory. Taking into consideration a variety of viewpoints introduced in the current article, reference is made to traditional and most recent approaches provided by both Russian and European scholars for the purpose of analyzing intertextuality from the cognitive point of view, putting the imperative on the mental processes occurring in the literary text. The current article explores Roald Dahl’s perception of the concept of “crime” through the prism of cognitive intertextuality. The subject matter of the article is the comprehensive analysis of the techniques employed in the literary text which can serve as prerequisites for the study of autointertextual relations. The topicality is determined by the current tendency of cognitive linguistics to interpret the literary text through the lens of semantic intertextual frames. Eventually, our research is devoted to the study of the concept of “crime” in R. Dahl’s stories in the view of intertextual domain with reference to autointertextuality.
LOSS OF THE SELF IN POSTMODERN DISCOURSE. DECONSTRUCTING AND RECONSTRUCTING IDENTITY
Authors: Soghomonyan Amalya
Published: May 2023

The topic of the present article concerns the problem of deconstructing and reconstructing identity. In modernism we come across two contrary desires: the desire for a fixed identity and the desire to go beyond it. Under the concepts ‘the self’, ‘space’, ‘time’, ‘rationality’, ‘causality’, ‘society’, ‘history’ we not only mean the world, but also ourselves.
The aim of the research is to study the alienated, absurd, existentialist anti-heroes which are all in the same position, failing to find the clear meaning of a personal, identifiable form of existence. In the postmodern age, the notion of a unique identity that used to command an aura has been lost due to the human ability to create exact reproductions. No one exactly knows what is meant by the term ‘postmodernism’. All that one knows is that it is some kind of a reaction against or an extension of modernism which ultimately turns on itself.

Астрономічні методи у морехідній навігації. Актуальність та шляхи вдосконалення
Authors: Danylenko O. , Chymshyr V.
Published: May 2023

Навігаційна безпека судна у великій ступені залежить від частоти і точності здійснення процедури визначення місця судна. В умовах відкритого моря, коли відсутні візуальні орієнтири, цю задачу в останні роки судноводії найчастіше вирішують за допомогою глобальних навігаційних супутникових систем (ГНСС), в першу чергу, таких як GPS. Але, незважаючи на великі переваги перед класичними способами визначення місця судна, застосування ГНСС має достатньо значні ризики, насамперед в умовах загострення військовополітичної обстановки та ведення військових дій в районах плавання. В зазначених умовах актуальним стає застосування астрономічних методів визначення місця суден тому, що вони є автономними. Практично немає засобів, що дозволяють позбавити судно можливості астрономічних обсервацій при виведенні електрообладнання з ладу; небесні світила є природними навігаційними датчиками, що дозволяє одночасно проводити вимірювання для розрахунку елементів декількох ізоліній; небесні світила забезпечують можливість визначення координат судна у будь-якій частині світового океану; для визначення поправки курсовказівника у відкритому морі поки що не існує інших способів як астрономічні. Разом з цим, класичні астрономічні методи визначення місця судна мають деякі обмеження, які пов’язані з метеорологічними умовами, недостатньою швидкістю й точністю оброблення вихідних даних та здійснення математичних розрахунків, що зокрема, пов’язано з рівнем професійності людини, яка проводить відповідні процедури. Одним з шляхів вирішення цих протиріч є запровадження синтезу єдиного комплексу програмного забезпечення для персонального комп'ютера, методології планування астронавігаційних спостережень з використанням персонального комп'ютера, сучасних автоматизованих оптичних приладів, складання алгоритмів планування та їх органічне включення до єдиного комплексу програмного забезпечення астрономічних методів навігації, а також розробка з урахуванням універсального алгоритму контрольних і тренажерних програм з морехідної Істрономії, направлених на прищеплення відповідних професійних навичок. Прикладом практичної реалізації означеного комплексу може стати лабораторно-тренажерний комплекс з «Морехідної астрономії», який дозволяє проводити навчання та дослідження незалежно від погодних умов та географічного розташування на новому технологічному рівні.

Authors: MERCAN Gamze , VAROL SELÇUK Zümrüt
Published: May 2023

In the age we live in, humanity is faced with many problems that transcend a nation in a singular sense, but concern all humanity instead. Global climate change, war, terrorism, epidemics such as Covid-19, immigration and injustice in income distribution are some of these problems. However, most of these problems are man-made problems. Therefore, it will be possible to get rid of these problems thanks to human beings. Active citizenship, on the other hand, imposes responsibility on the individual by its nature. However, avoiding or ignoring instead of feeling responsible will cause these problems to grow. This state of indifference and avoidance of responsibility will not only cause the loss of rights won by very important struggles in the past, but also cause irreparable harm to nature and humanity as it is today. It is extremely important for a democracy and even for life. It is extremely important to support formal education in gaining these competencies. Non-governmental organizations are also of great importance in providing the support needed for formal education to fulfill what is expected of it in this regard. The purpose of this research is to examine the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) operating in the field of biology education in Germany. The model of the research is document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. Descriptive analysis was used in the analysis of the research data. According to the research results; it is seen that NGOs operating in the field of biology education in Germany play an important role in ensuring equality of opportunity in education. It is thought that NGOs in Germany are important in addressing the biology education activities of NGOs in Turkey.

Authors: Edoh CLETUS
Published: May 2023

The study investigated the influence of Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy implementation on promoting financial transparency and accountability on the administration of public universities in North Eastern Nigeria. two specific objectives with corresponding research questions guided the study and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design, and was carried out in North Eastern Nigeria. The population of the study comprised 547 Bursary staff of Federal Universities in North Eastern Nigeria. The sample size for the study comprised 231 Bursary staff obtained from the use of Taro Yamane formula for sample size determination. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument was estimated using Cronbach Alpha statistic and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.84 was obtained. The data was analyzed using Means and Standard Deviation to answer the research questions. Chi-Square Statistic to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that Treasury Single Account stops public universities from remitting revenue at will to government treasuries and compels government agencies to spend within the approved budget provisions and this promotes transparency in the administration of public universities to a high extent. It further revealed that Treasury Single Account promotes efficient management of domestic borrowing at minimal and helps to establish an efficient disbursement mechanism for public funds and this promotes financial accountability in the administration of public universities to a high extent. Based on these findings, it was recommended that; Federal government should closely monitor the level of TSA implementation within her universities, as complete implementation of TSA would make all Federal government owned universities remit all revenue in its coffers to government treasuries and compels government agencies (universities) to spend within the approved budget provisions for enhanced financial transparency in the administration of public universities. Also, Federal government should ensure total compliance on the institutionalization of Treasury Single Account as it would reduce domestic borrowing to the barest minimal helping them to establish an efficient disbursement mechanism for public funds, thereby promoting financial accountability in the management of public universities.

Published: May 2023

Food is life, and it can become an instrument of control in national and international power polity. It is not enough to aspire to be sufficient in food production; however the system of production that ensures the production of healthy and safe food in a safe environment is equally crucial for the quality of human life. The pertinent concern of this study is to investigate the possible implications of the present quest to introduce the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) into the agricultural sector in an effort to ensure food security vis-à-vis the quality of life of the citizenry and the impact on the environment of Nigeria. The study adopted the Diffusion Theory of Rural Development, employed Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Model Approach using annual time series data spanning from 1981-2017. The plausibility of the results lies with the positive relationship between food supply and life expectancy. The study found that the environmental effect of industrial food production which is usually associated with gaseous emissions was not significant. This shows that with any improvement in food security, Co2 emissions are reduced. This reduction in Co2 emission by these industries further has chain reactions as it improves food security. The results also shows that there is a negative relationship but with significant impact of industrial emission into the environment on life expectancy of Nigerians. The study therefore recommends that there is need to revitalize public sector agricultural research, Small farmer-oriented, low-input agro-ecology and reform trade-related rules.

RUSYA’YA UYGULANAN YAPTIRIMLARIN TÜRK PETROL PİYASASINA ETKİSİ
Authors: Okumuş Sinem
Published: May 2023

2014 yılında Kırım’ın Rusya Federasyonu (Rusya) tarafından ilhak edilmesiyle birlikte AB üyesi ülkeler, ABD ve müttefikleri Rusya’ya birçok alanda yaptırım uygulamaya başlamıştır. 24 Şubat 2022’de Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı’nın başlaması ile bu yaptırımlara yenileri eklenmiştir. Savaş öncesinde uygulanan yaptırımlar küresel enerji piyasalarını çok fazla etkilemezken; yeni yaptırımlar, küresel enerji piyasalarını derinden etkileyerek petrol arzındaki hassas dengenin bozulmasına neden olmuştur. Petrol ve petrol ürünlerine getirilen ticaret yasakları ve tavan fiyat uygulaması, Rusya menşeli petrol ve petrol ürünlerinin ticaret yollarının değişmesine neden olmuştur. Başta AB üyesi ülkeler olmak üzere petrol ithal eden ülkelerde önemli bir pazar payına sahip olan Rusya’nın hâkimiyetinin azaldığı ve Rusya’nın yerini ABD gibi farklı piyasa oyuncularının aldığı gözlenmiştir. Savaş öncesinde Brent, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) gibi petrol türlerinin fiyatlarına çok yakın seviyelerde satılan Rus petrolü, ambargoların ardından indirimli olarak satılmaya başlamıştır. Yüksek hacimlerde Rus petrolü ithal eden AB üyesi ülkeler, ambargolar sonrasında Rusya’dan petrol alımlarını durdurmuş, açığa çıkan Rus petrolü Çin ve Hindistan tarafından indirimli olarak alınmaya başlanmıştır.
Petrol ve petrol ürünlerine olan talebi sürekli artan ve bu talebin bir kısmını Rusya’dan petrol ithalatıyla karşılayan Türkiye’nin savaş sonrası küresel petrol piyasasındaki bu gelişmelerden hem olumlu hem de olumsuz olarak etkilendiği düşünülmektedir. AB üyesi ülkeler, ABD ve müttefikleri tarafından Rusya’ya uygulanan yaptırımlara taraf olmayan Türkiye, savaşın başlamasıyla birlikte daha az ödeme yaparak Rus petrol ve petrol ürünleri ithalatını arttırmıştır. Bu durum, AB üyesi ülkeler, ABD ve müttefiklerinin dikkatinden kaçmamakta ve yakından takip edilmektedir.
Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın ilk bölümünde 24 Şubat 2022 tarihinden sonra AB üyesi ülkeler, ABD, Japonya ve bu ülkelerin müttefikleri tarafından enerji sektörüne yönelik uygulanan yaptırım paketleri incelenecektir. İkinci bölümünde, 1950’li yıllar itibarıyla ivme kazanan petrol arama, üretim ve işleme faaliyetleri ışığında Türk petrol piyasası dinamikleri (ham petrol üretim, ithalat, işlenme, tüketim ve ihracat faaliyetleri) ele alınacaktır. Son bölümde ise Rusya’ya uygulanan yaptırımlara taraf olmayan Türkiye’nin bu yaptırımlardan olumlu yönde etkilendiği tezi doğrulanmaya çalışılacaktır.

The emergence of Web3 technologies is transforming the internet and its applications. Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, which is built on blockchain technology and decentralized applications. This new version of the internet is expected to be more secure, transparent, and open than the current Web2, which is characterized by centralized control and data ownership.The review paper provides an overview of Web3 and its significance in the context of the internet and blockchain technology. It explains how Web3 is different from Web1 and Web2, and why it has the potential to revolutionize various industries. Web1 was the first version of the internet, which was static and read-only. Web2, on the other hand, introduced interactive and social elements to the internet, but it still relies on centralized control and data ownership. The review paper goes on to explain the various technologies associated with Web3, such as blockchain technology, decentralized applications (dApps), and smart contracts. Blockchain technology is the backbone of Web3 and enables decentralized data storage and transaction processing. Decentralized applications (dApps) are software programs that run on a blockchain and enable peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts that automatically enforce the rules and regulations of an agreement. The review paper also explores the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) and its impact on the financial sector. DeFi is a subcategory of dApps that enables decentralized financial services such as lending, borrowing, and trading without the need for traditional financial intermediaries. The report discusses how DeFi is disrupting the traditional financial sector and opening new opportunities for innovation and financial inclusion. The review paper further discusses the potential use cases for Web3 in industries such as gaming, social media, supply chain management, and identity verification. For example, Web3 can enable new models of gaming that are more transparent and fairer for players, as well as provide a more secure and private social media experience. In supply chain management, Web3 can enable greater transparency and traceability of products, which can improve efficiency and reduce fraud. In identity verification, Web3 can provide a decentralized and secure way for individuals to prove their identity without relying on centralized authorities.Finally, the review paper discusses the challenges and limitations of Web3 technologies, such as scalability, interoperability, and user adoption. Despite these challenges, the report provides a vision for the future of Web3 and its potential impact on society.Web3 has the potential to create a more open, decentralized, and equitable internet that empowers individuals and communities.

Authors: Sharma Nikhil , Jain Sachin , Kamble Anupriya
Published: May 2023

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is an emerging technology which has been an important and a hot research topic, recently. It is a boon for resource constrained mobile phones as it allows them to offload the computation to the cloud servers, which helps them to execute the code remotely. There have been various models, designs, techniques and tools to support the MCC but as the user base and their demands are increasing day by day, we are required to come up with more efficient models which are well- defined and cost-effective. Building block of MCC or any such technology is user, no user no usage. Hence, the cost of this technology must be minimized, for the growth of MCC. In this paper, we talk about the role of energy consumption in reducing the cost of MCC for the mobile user. We propose a context-aware-game-theoretic approach to minimize the overall energy consumption of the MCC system; which, in turn, will minimize the cost of the service, for the user.

One of the major problem occur due to diabetes is retinopathy. It should be diagnosed earlier for effective treatment. In the initial stage of diabetes, patient may suffer in the earlier stage of diabetic retinopathy which gives the symptoms of starting of vision deteriorate in retina. This symptoms result to the eye deficiency in any one of the type of retinopathy. But the survey of medical refers that many people get affects by non-proliferative retinopathy and proliferative retinopathy. There are many ways to diagnose this eye deficiency. This process uses the digital image processing for filtering the noise in the image and it can be seen at different angle by using digitization method. Each image can be compressed by using Discrete Wavelet Transform method. The blood vessels are segmented using FUZZY C-Means.
Diálogos da Igreja Universal com outras práticas religiosas no sul de Moçambique: um outro pentecostalismo
Authors: Fiorotti Silas
Published: May 2023

O artigo apresenta a análise de discursos e práticas da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) no sul de Moçambique e problematiza os diálogos dessa igreja com aspectos de diferentes contextos religiosos, principalmente os contextos das práticas religiosas “tradicionais” e das práticas das igrejas ziones. Alguns elementos foram destacados: as menções à “tradição”; o reconhecimento e a apropriação da linguagem, das cosmologias e das noções locais do mal; o fenômeno da possessão e do exorcismo; o fenômeno do sacrifício; o papel e o desempenho dos pastores e dos bispos; e os diagnósticos e os tratamentos prescritos aos fiéis. Buscou-se dialogar com estudos sobre a IURD em Moçambique e com estudos antropológicos sobre os pentecostalismos em contextos africanos. A hipótese defendida aponta que o pentecostalismo da IURD se distingue de outros pentecostalismos presentes em contextos africanos e, também, que diversas ideias e práticas dos contextos religiosos “tradicionais” e ziones criaram e criam condições para que os discursos e as práticas da IURD sejam relevantes, eficazes e significativos no sul de Moçambique.
Na busca pela testosterona: circulação de saberes entre homens usuários
Authors: Tramontano Lucas
Published: May 2023

A biopolítica contemporânea é marcada pela molecularização da vida e uma intensa farmacologização do cotidiano, que sustenta a teoria hormonal do corpo e aprofunda a visão dos hormônios sexuais como mensageiros químicos do sexo/gênero. Assim, este artigo analisa relatos de história de vida de homens usuários da testosterona como ferramenta de modificação corporal para refletir sobre as fontes de informação legitimadas na busca por um encontro efetivo com o hormônio. São identificadas quatro fontes não mutuamente excludentes: a biomedicina, a clínica, grupos de usuários especialistas e uma rede pessoal de contatos. O hormônio se localiza no centro de oposições como natural/artificial, legal/ ilegal e legítimo/ilegítimo e articula uma ampla circulação de saberes que compõem sua própria biografia. As conclusões apontam para um processo de coprodução, no qual, mais do que priorizar uma fonte específica, constrói-se um corpo de saberes compartilhado e multifacetado sobre a testosterona.
O Negacionismo do HIV e o Acesso aos Antirretrovirais na África do Sul de Thabo Mbeki

O texto foca no litígio judicial pelo acesso à nevirapina – um medicamento antirretroviral para evitar a transmissão do HIV de mãe para filho. A ação teve lugar na África do Sul no início da década de 2000 e pode ser considerada o estopim do que ficou conhecido, não sem contestação, como a “controvérsia da AIDS” nesse país. Em uma situação inusitada na história da epidemia, a controvérsia envolveu ativistas, cientistas e políticos contra o governo do então presidente Thabo Mbeki – acusado de apoiar o “negacionismo da AIDS”. Neste trabalho, descrevo os desdobramentos judiciais, científicos e morais desse enfrentamento e sugiro que, se tratando do estudo de litígios e de controvérsias como esta, uma antropologia da ciência, se levada a sério, deve ser compreendida, a rigor, como uma antropologia política.
Functional Cognition: Distinct From Fluid and Crystallized Cognition?
Authors: Baum Carolyn M. , Lau Stephen C. L. , Heinemann Allen W. , Connor Lisa Tabor
Published: May 2023

Importance: Functional cognition is emerging as a professional priority for occupational therapy practice. It is important to understand how it relates to other established cognitive constructs, so that occupational therapists can demonstrate their unique contributions.

Objective: To examine whether functional cognition is a construct that is distinct from crystallized and fluid cognitive abilities.

Design: Secondary analysis of data collected from a cross-sectional study.

Setting: Community.

Participants: Adults with spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, or stroke (N = 493).

Outcomes and Measures: The National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery and the Executive Function Performance Test.

Results: We used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to investigate the factor structure of cognition. EFA identified three factors representing crystallized, fluid, and functional cognition. CFA revealed a second-order model in which the three cognitive constructs contribute hierarchically to a general cognitive factor.

Conclusions and Relevance: This study provides important and timely evidence for establishing functional cognition as a unique construct that is distinct from executive function as well as from fluid and crystallized cognition. Functional cognition is central to performance in daily activities, and its use will ensure that occupational therapy services support continued recovery and community reintegration.

What This Article Adds: This study supports occupational therapy professionals in establishing the profession’s role in evaluating and treating deficits of functional cognition to support patients’ return to desired occupations in the family, workplace, and community.

Introduction

To determine the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MTHFR and MTRR genes on disease activity and the presence of MTX therapy adverse events in Polish children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Material and methods

SNP genotyping was performed using genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood samples.

Results

Patients with MTHFR rs1801133 CT/TT variant had higher values of inflammatory markers, number of joints with active arthritis, and JADAS-71 value at the baseline of MTX treatment. Children with MTRR rs1801394 AG/AA variant presented higher inflammatory marker values at JIA diagnosis.

Conclusions

MTHFR rs1801133 and MTRR rs1801394 polymorphisms are associated with higher disease activity at the moment of JIA diagnosis.
