Morpho-Syntax of Non-VO Separable Compound Verbs in Cantonese
Authors: Chan Sheila S.L. , Cheung Lawrence Y.L.
Published: April 2021

Verb-object (VO) separable compound verbs (SCVs), for example, lí-le-hūn ‘divorced’, have long been studied. A small group of non-VO compounds in Cantonese are also separable, but have not yet been addressed. In this study, a preliminary judgment test was used for the first time, to look into the separation of non-VO compounds. We found that the separation of non-VO compounds, though limited, is different from that of VO compounds in terms of their ways of separation. There seems to be an effect of the ways of separation and the morphological structures of the verbs on the separability. We also showed that the underlying identity of non-VO SCVs is lexical, as most of them do not have a phrasal form. This group of separable verbs, which was neglected before, could have an impact on related morpho-syntactic theories.
Laboratory tests and analysis of CIPP epoxy-resin internal liners used in pipelines – part I: comparison of tests and engineering calculations
Authors: Abel Tomasz
Published: April 2021

Tests that were carried out in order to obtain knowledge of the actual values of strength parameters obtained by CIPP liners that are used to repair pipelines. Specimens of liners made of high quality polyester felt cured with epoxy resin were subjected to tests. The scope of the performed studies corresponded with the scope of acceptance tests, which are carried out in the investment process during quality control of renovation works. Specimens of liners taken from sewers with 3 different diameters, i.e. 200mm, 350mm and 500mm were selected as representative for underground sewage networks. The obtained results enabled the calculations carried out in the course of design work to be verified, and differences between the model values of the strength parameters obtained from the calculations, and real values that are burdened with irregularities resulting from the conditions prevailing at a construction site and which were obtained for specimens taken from their built-in locations to be compared.

The tests confirmed that it is possible to renovate - using CIPP liners - sewers with a lot of structural and material damage that negatively affects a liner‘s geometry. The implementation of the reinforcing internal coating in a sewer enables its further safe operation. The direct application value of the research involves the enlargement and clarification of knowledge concerning the actual load-bearing capacity of CIPP liners.

Published: April 2021

Introduction. Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin diseases affecting more than 85% of individuals worldwide. The study aimed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of Salicylic acid peel and Salicylic acid - mandelic acid peel for treatment of acne scars.

Material and Methods. A comparative study was conducted on 41 patients, divided into two groups based on treatment choice by the subjects. Group A (23) were treated with 30% salycilic acid peels, and group B (18) were treated with 20% salycilic acid and 10% mandelic acid peels at an interval of 2 weeks for three sessions. The physician’s global assessment scale and clinical photographs were used at the end of three sessions. All the data were analysed using SPSS considering P<0.05 as significant.

Results. Of the total 41 patients analyzed, the mean age in both the groups were comparable. (Group A: 20.4 years; Group B: 20.5 years). Duration of acne was >12 months in both the groups 13 (56.52%) & 10 (55.56%)). Thirteen patients (56.52%) in group A and 1 (5.56%) in group B had no side effects which was statistically significant (p=0.01). Using the physician’s global assessment scale 51-75% (Good) an improvement was seen in grade I 4 (17%) and 18 (78%) in grade II in group A and 2 (11%) in grade I and 12 (67%) in grade II in group B, respectively which was statistically significant (p=0.001).

Conclusion. Both agents showed almost equal efficacy in improving mild-to-moderate acne scars. Adverse effects were less with Salicylic acid peel compared with mandelic acid peel..

Published: April 2021

COVID-19 is defined as a respiratory infection which is spread by droplets and immediate contact with an infected person. The first case of COVID-19 infection in Serbia was reported on March 6th, 2020.

Herein, we present the case of confirmed COVID-19 infection in a previously healthy man, whose three other family members showed mild symptoms of coronavirus disease, without the need for hospitalization. The patient was treated at the tertiary medical center, four days after the onset of symptoms. During the hospitalization, he developed serious complications and fatal outcome. In this case, hypoxia-induced cardiac arrest was secondary to severe COVID-19 pneumonia with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis. Laboratory and flow cytometry results indicate the presence of the cytokine storm, while the mechanical ventilation might potentially increase the risk of lethal outcome.

This case report is important because it should give clinicians the insight into the treatment of the previously healthy individuals with COVID-19, especially in terms of possible laboratory markers that could indicate the presence of the cytokine storm phenomenon.
Predatory journals, fake conferences and misleading social media: The dark side of medical information
Authors: Kert Suzana , Švab Igor
Published: April 2021

We live in an age of information revolution, where trends in informing physicians and the lay public bring new challenges that must be faced by healthcare professionals. Predatory journals and fake conferences are common. Social media is full of false information, which results in serious public health damage. Therefore, it is important that health professionals communicate properly with the public and patients and that they address the education of both the public and other health professionals.
Perception of patient safety culture among hospital staff
Authors: Stoyanova Rumyana , Dimova Rositsa , Tornyova Bianka , Mavrov Momchil , Elkova Harieta
Published: April 2021

Introduction

A patient safety culture (PSC) is a complex phenomenon, representing an essential part of the organizational culture and refers to the shared values, conceptions and beliefs which contribute to the formation and encouragement of safe behavioural models in a health organization. With this study, the authors wanted to delineate the attitude of hospital staff in Bulgaria regarding PSC and to document to whether attitudes differ between physicians and other healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Methods

A national cross-sectional survey among 384 HCPs was conducted using an online version of the Bulgarian version of Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (B-HSOPSC). The data was analysed with descriptive statistics, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U and x 2 tests.

Results

The physicians represented 37.50% (144) of the sample and other HCPs 62.50% (240). Respondents from governmental/municipal hospitals prevailed (53.6%). The dimensions “Staffing” and “Non-punitive response to error” were most problematic, as their percentage of positive response rates (PRRs) were lowest. However, “Handoffs and transitions” and “Supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting safety“ showed the highest mean values in both physicians and other HCPs. From all participants, 76.0% have never reported an adverse event or error.

Conclusion

The results of the study show that all respondents demonstrate a positive attitude regarding PSC. A comparison of the mean values and that of PRRs in the dimensions did not show any group differences, according to the type of staff position, i.e. physicians or other HCPs.
Doppler Effect in 2 × 2 to 4 × 4 Mimo Systems of Wireless Communication with Orthogonal Pilot Channel Estimation
Authors: Romanuke Vadim
Published: April 2021

The Doppler effect in 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 MIMO wireless communication systems with channel estimation is studied. The orthogonal pilot signal approach is used for the channel estimation, where the Hadamard sequences are used for piloting, along with the eight alternative orthogonal sets similar to the Walsh set. MIMO transmissions are simulated for 10 cases of the frame length and pilot symbols per frame by no Doppler shift to 1100 Hz Doppler shift with a step of 100 Hz. Based on the simulation, it is ascertained that MIMO transmissions of shorter frames are less sensitive to the Doppler effect. Despite increasing the number of antennas does not mitigate the Doppler effect, and the bit-error rate performance of 4×4 MIMO systems worsens faster than that of 2×2 MIMO systems, it is better to use the maximum number of antennas. The Doppler effect does badly worsen the performance at highway and express train speeds (100 km/hr, and faster), leaving only possibility to further shorten transmissions. This, however, decreases the data rate, but the respective accuracy-versus-data-rate tradeoff must be acceptable.

Filum Cogitationis. Remarks on Leibnizian Projects of a Universal Language
Authors: Święczkowska Halina
Published: April 2021

This essay is an attempt to offer at least a partial answer to the question concerning Leibniz's motivation for the need to create a universal language. It is relevant, among other things, due to Leibniz's claim which contradicts the idea of a universal language, in which he clearly stresses that “every language, even the poorest one, can express everything”, as well as owing to Leibniz's historical contribution to the idea of formalization and to the mechanization of the reasoning processes. This paper is also an attempt to reconstruct the paradigm of language research pursued in a specific period of time in 17th century language theory.

On the Earliest English Translation of the Laws of Oléron and Its Editions
Authors: Lis Kinga
Published: April 2021

The Laws of Oléron are a compilation of regulations binding in north-western Europe. They concern relationships on board a ship and in ports, as well as between members of one crew and those of another when it comes to safe journey. Even though the “code” was known in England at the beginning of the 14th century, it was only in the 16th century that it was translated from French into (Early Modern) English. The literature on the topic mentions two independent 16th-century renditions of the originally French text (Lois d’Oléron) but disagrees as to the authorship of the earliest translation, its date and place of creation, the mutual relationship between the two, their content and respective source texts. Strikingly, three names appear in this context: Thomas Petyt, Robert Copland, and W. Copland. The picture emerging from various accounts concerning the translations is very confusing. It is the purpose of this paper to trace the history of the misconceptions surrounding the Early Modern English versions of the Laws of Oléron, and to illustrate how, by approaching them from a broader perspective, two hundred years of confusion can be resolved. The wider context adopted in this study is that of a book as a whole, and not of an individual text within the book, set against the backdrop of the printing milieu. The investigation begins with a brief inquiry into the lives and careers of the three people named with respect to the two renditions, in an attempt to determine whether these provide any grounds for disagreement. The analysis also juxtaposes the relevant renditions as far as their contents, layout, and the actual texts are concerned in order to establish what the relationship between them is and whether it could account for the confusion surrounding the translations.
The Adversary or the Devil?: Semantic Analysis of Wiþer-Nouns in Old English
Authors: Sylwanowicz Marta , Wojtyś Anna
Published: April 2021

The examination of Old and Middle English religious lexis has attracted attention of many scholars. However, there are hardly any studies that would offer a comprehensive diachronic analysis of the terms denoting ‘Satan/(the)Devil’. The authors of the present study aim to fill this gap by conducting a systematic analysis of early English lexical field of ‘(the) evil spirit’, beginning with the analysis of Old English items that could potentially refer to ‘Satan/(the)Devil’

This paper discusses wiþer-nouns in Old English with the aim to verify which of them were applied with reference to ‘(the) evil spirit’. Thus, the texts compiled in the Dictionary of Old English Corpus have been searched for all the above-listed items. The identification of their uses has allowed us not only to determine the frequency of the words in question but also to specify whether the sense of ‘(the) evil spirit’ was core or peripheral for each lexeme.

Published: April 2021

. Knowledge of how land cover has changed over time improve assessments of the changes in the future. Wide availability of remote sensed data and relatively low cost of their acquisition make them very attractive data source for Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The main goal of this paper is to prepare, run and evaluate image classification using a block of raw aerial images obtained from Digital Mapping Camera (DMC). Classification was preceded by preparation of raw images. It contained geometric and radiometric correction of every image in block. Initial images processing lead to compensate their brightness differences. It was obtained by calculating two vegetation indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Green Normalized Vegetation Index (gNDVI). These vegetation indices were the foundation of image classification. PCI Geomatics Geomatica 10.2 and Microimages TNT Mips software platforms were used for this purpose.
The Connection of the Methanol Economy to the Concept of the Circular Economy and Its Impact on Sustainability
Authors: Magda Robert , Toth Judit
Published: April 2021

The idea of the circular economy is gaining ground as one of the means to realize a sustainable future. The concept of a circular economy is an innovative alternative model to society‘s current “linear” mode of operation. An alternative to fossil fuels is a cycle in which carbon and methanol play a major role. Carbon use plays a major role in mitigating global climate change, while methanol as a renewable fuel can also mitigate the negative e~ects of climate change and bridge the problems of scarcity of ecosystem resources and rising levels of consumption. Despite the fact that a circular economy reduces the environmental burden while providing business bene˚ts, not all circular solutions have a positive impact on sustainability. The use of CO2 as a feedstock can be a very e~ective tool for reducing global carbon dioxide concentration as well as reducing dependence on fossil fuels. At the same time, the environmental impacts of the technologies developed need to be accounted for in order to highlight that the technology pathway actually contributes to the sustainability goals.

Objective–This study examines the moderating effect of company age on the relationship between board features on timely disclosure of audited financial statements. Specifically it tests the effects of board size, proportionate audit committee size, board independence on timely disclosure of the banks under study; and assess the influence of age as a moderator of board size, proportionate audit committee size, and board independence respectively as they affect timely disclosure of the listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Design/methodology–The sample of 10 banks out of 15 listed deposit money banks in Nigeria were used. Secondary data was gathered from the sampled banks’ annual accounts and reports. Correlational research design was used to examine the relationship between the studied variables. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were eventually carried. Results –This study finds that board size and proportionate audit committee size are negatively related to timely disclosure of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria with the later exerting significant effect on the dependent variable. Furthermore, company age moderates both corporate governance and timely disclosure. Therefore, this study recommends that companies should strategize ways to improve corporate governance practice in order to inspire confidence on investors by timely disclosure of the financial report. Contribution – The study has been able to provide evidence on age as a moderator to some corporate governance determinants of timeliness disclosure peculiar to Nigerian Deposit Money Banks. It has also addressed the measurement issue regarding audit committee size, introduced a new term known as ‘proportionate audit committee size’ as a variable.

Published: April 2021

Prevalensi kasus bunuh diri di Gunung Kidul perlu mendapatkan perhatian yang serius, khususnya dalam perspektif ulayat. Masyarakat masih meyakini mitos Pulung Gantung sebagai penyebab perilaku bunuh diri, yang menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam upaya pencegahan perilaku bunuh diri. Pulung dimaknai sebagai wahyu, isyarat atau anugerah dan Gantung berarti gantung diri, yang apabila diterjemahkan bermakna wahyu atau isyarat bagi seseorang untuk melakukan bunuh diri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor psikologis yang memengaruhi seseorang untuk melakukan perilaku bunuh diri di Gunung Kidul, melalui pendekatan fenomenologi terhadap satu orang penyintas perilaku bunuh diri dan tiga orang dekat penyintas. Hasil menunjukkan adanya faktor psikologis, yaitu lemahnya faktor protektif pada partisipan yang memengaruhi perilaku bunuh diri, sekaligus menunjukan bahwa perilaku bunuh diri bukan disebabkan oleh munculnya Pulung yang tidak dapat dicegah sebagaimana diyakini oleh masyarakat. Secara praktis, temuan ini dapat digunakan sebagai pertimbangan pihak terkait dalam upaya pencegahan perilaku bunuh diri.

Hydrocarbon fuels as a basis of the Kurdistan region’s global diplomacy
Authors: Hussein Dalsooz Jalal
Published: April 2021

The author of the article empirically studies the way countries are competing for establishing diplomatic relations with a non-governmental actor. The author focuses on the government of the Kurdistan region which uses its soft power to attract the attention of countries. Among other instruments, hydrocarbon fuels (oil and gas) were the main driving force of the Kurdistan region’s soft power. The author proves that economic and hydrocarbon ambitions have made the countries transform their traditional understanding of global diplomacy which inspires some former antagonist states to rebuild their relations with a non-governmental actor even more, and even to consider it as their close partner. The conclusions of the research correspond with the idea that the Kurdistan region will more actively participate in global diplomacy as it is rich in oil and gas resources.

Kerimov dedicated to the theme of repressions, determining his place and role within the modern literary process.
Interpretation of the event within the structure of news narrative
Authors: Deminova Marina Aleksandrovna
Published: April 2021

This article is dedicated to the analysis of the structure of news narrative, which is relevant the context of interpretation of the event. The author believes that the news texts that do not contain a clear expressive or analytical component, interpretation consists in transformation of the narrative. News hold a special place among other media texts. News genres, to a greater extent that the analytical genres, satisfy people's information needs. If the analytical and publicistic texts the readers choose in accordance with their worldview and value system, then news texts are perceived as neutral, characterized by a stable structure, repeatability, reproducibility; they are virtually not affected by the specificity of a particular editorial policy, and, thus, have broader audience. At first glance, the patterns used for news writing, do not have impact on the audience; however, they are evaluative and interpretative, which is reflected in narrative structure of the text. The attitude of the author towards the event in the central episode is traced. Since the central episode is related to the actual event more than any other component of the narrative structure, it nonetheless, has considerable interpretive potential. Transformation of the key component testifies to the fact that narrative structure of the news material is quite adaptable, and may change under the influence of certain information. The additional secondary components of the narrative structure also have high interpretive potential, since their very presence in the text reflects the author's desire to deliver additional information, the choice of which directly affects interpretation of the event.

This article traces the transformation of the images of woman and child in the Neo-Victorian novel of the 1990 – 2010s in comparison with the Victorian pretext (the novels “The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James, “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë, “Oliver Twist”, “David Copperfield” by Charles Dickens). The research material includes the novels “Florence and Giles” John Harding and “The Trial of Elizabeth Cree” by Peter Ackroyd. It was determines that the Neo-Victorian novel fools with the audience’s perception of stereotypical gender concepts, as well as poetics of the Victorian novel, according to which the title character, namely a woman or a child, is the object of the author’s and reader’s affinity. The article examines the role of references in the aforementioned neo-Victorian novels to the “thrilling” stories of Edgar. Poe, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is revealed that the traditional “angel in the house” in the Neo-Victorian novel is transformed into the evil “Mrs. Hyde”, exacting vengeance on the world for the humiliations because of her gender and social status. The author reviews the role of intermedian references in the novel “Florence and Giles”. The conclusion is made that the dialogue with pretexts allows modern writers to touch on the topics of women's education and gender inequality in the past and present.

Authors: Suslov Alexey Viktorovich
Published: April 2021

Phenomenological reduction of E. Husserl through the prism of Buddhist meditation
Authors: Lapatin Vadim Al'bertovich
Published: April 2021

The subject of this research is the method of phenomenological reduction developed by E. Husserl. The article examines the difficulties faced by this method, as well as observes the reception of Husserl’s ideas by the adherents of phenomenology in the XX century. It is substantiated that the phenomenological reduction is unrealizable by theoretical means due to impossibility to comply in the with the initial requirements of directness and non-prerequisiteness in the verbal expression. At the same time, the author proves that the phenomenological reduction could be implemented as a practice. Buddhist meditation is taken as an example. The goal is set to examine the phenomenological reduction through the prism of meditative practice. The research methodology is based on the comparative study of phenomenological and Buddhist philosophy with regards to the subject matter. The scientific novelty lies in examination of the problem of implementation of phenomenological reduction in the context of a completely different, non-Western tradition. The analysis demonstrates that Buddhism and phenomenology, proceeding from similar ideological prerequisites and studying the same subject, come to the markedly different conclusions. The examination of meditative practice indicated the differences between the phenomenology and Buddhism in their interpretation of the problem of consciousness. The fundamental difference pertains to the problem of “Self”: Buddhism does not recognize the apodictic evidence of the empirical and transcendental ego. This opinion is grounded on observation of the variable nature of the mind in the process of meditation. Other differences considered in this article consists in the discrepancy between the phenomenology and Buddhism regarding the interpretation of such concepts as “intentionality” and “ideation”.
I. Kant's Copernican revolution in the context of the concept of subjectivation
Authors: Rusakov Sergei Sergeevich
Published: April 2021

This article is dedicated to correlation between the concept of subjectivation of M. Foucault and the concept of subject of I. Kant. Due to the fact that the project of studying the forms of subjectivity has not been accomplished, the artistic legacy of the French scholar has left numerous questions still to be answered. One of such questions is the transformation of the subject that took place in Modern Age, and the reasons for the elimination of spiritual practices of subjectivation. The work is of historical-philosophical nature, and employs analytical, critical and comparative methods of research applicable to the texts of Michel Foucault and Immanuel Kant, as well as to a number of foreign (G. Deleuze, A. Renaut, T. Adorno) and domestic (M. Mamardashvili, F. Girenok, S. Khoruzhiy) analytical works. The novelty of this research consists in the analysis of the philosophical concept of M. Foucault in the specific context of transcendental philosophy of I. Kant. The author distinguishes between what the French researcher called the metaphysical subject of Descartes and the transcendental subject of Kant. The following conclusions were formulated: the acknowledgement of irrevocable loss of the elements of subjectivation in the Kantian concept of subject, which were reflected in the doctrine of Cartesius; claim of the autonomy of the Kantian subject, founded on the rejection of metaphysics and exclusion of heteronomy as a characteristic of subjectivity; confirmation of the key role of practical reason as the factor of further development of the concept of subject towards enhancing the autonomy and gnoseocentrism.

PENGARUH ETIKA TERHADAP KUALITAS AUDIT, STUDI KASUS KANTOR AKUNTAN PUBLIK SE-SURABAYA
Authors: Horri Miftahol
Published: April 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji apakah etika berpengaruh terhadap kualitas audit Kantor Akuntan publik (KAP) se-Surabaya. Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh adanya isu bahwa akuntan publik Indonesia kurang memperhatikan kualitas audit yang dihasilkannya. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya kasus-kasus keuangan yang menimpa banyak perusahaan yang ikut melibatkan akuntan publik.Faktor-faktor yang sangat penting peranannya dalam menentukan kualitas audit adalah independensi dan kompetensi dan kehati-hatian profesional akuntan publik itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, maka permasalahan yang dikaji dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah independensi dan kompetensi dan kehati-hatian profesional akuntan publik berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas audit.Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah auditor yang bekerja di Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) di Surabaya, yang mana menurut buku Directory KAP terdapat 42 KAP yang berdiri di Surabaya. Sedangkan sampel yang dipilih dalam penelitian ini adalah sebanyak 14 KAP dimana masing-masing KAP terdapat 5-8 orang yang dijadikan sebagai responden. Sebanyak 100 kuesioner disebar, namun hanya 62 kuesioner yang kembali dan terisi dengan lengkap.Menggunakan model analisis regresi berganda, penelitian ini menghasilkan model regresi  Y = 2,384 + 0,423 X1 + 0,407 X2. Dari model tersebut didapat bahwa nilai konstanta sebesar 2,384 menunjukkan besarnya pengaruh semua variabel independen terhadap variabel dependen. Hasil pengujian hipotesis 1 menunjukan bahwa independensi dan kompetensi dan kehati-hatian profesional secara bersama-sama  berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas audit (F = 3,516, sig F = 0.000 < 0,05). Hasil pengujian hipotesis 2 menunjukan bahwa independensi secara parsial berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas audit (t = 3,516, sig t = 0.002 < 0,05). Begitu juga bahwa kompetensi dan kehati-hatian profesional secara parsial berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kualitas audit (t = 3,46, sig t = 0.001 < 0,05)            Implikasi penelitian mendatang sebaiknya memperluas cakupan geografis sampel, misal dengan mengambil sampel auditor pada KAP di kota-kota besar seluruh Indonesia, sehingga hasil penelitian memiliki daya generalisir yang lebih kuat.
