Published: September 2021

Belajar bagi peserta didik sekolah dasar membutuhkan banyak perhatian baik dari guru maupun orang tua. Setiap pemberian materi ajar dan penugasan tentunya membutuhkan umpan balik sehingga peserta didik mengetahui sejauh mana perkembang pembelajarannya. Tentunya peserta didik ingin tetap mendapati hal yang serupa baik sebelum pandemi maupun saat pandemi. Faktanya, saat pandemi terbentuk pembudayaan yang baru berupa penugasan yang dirasakan jauh lebih banyak dan membutuhkan peran orang tua untuk mengirimkan ke guru kelasnya. Penggunaan whatsapp sebagai media komunikasi dan sebagai media pengiriman berkas hasil pekerjaan peserta didik memang sudah cukup menjadi kebudayaan baru di SD Setia Bhakti. Namun, semakin bertambahnya jumlah penugasan, maka semakin bertambah pula dokumen yang harus diperiksa, dinilai dan diberikan umpan balik oleh guru. Sebagai tawaran solusi, guru harus memiliki suatu keterampilan mendokumentasikan pembelajarannya dengan baik. Melalui aplikasi yang telah ada di masyarakat, guru dan orang tua diajak untuk mendayagunakan aplikasi Google Form. Berdasarkan paparan di atas, maka program pengabdian masyarakat ini ditujukan untuk mendampingi pembelajaran daring dengan pendayagunaan google form. Program ini menghasilkan 77% guru mampu mengoptimalkan pembelajaran dengan mendayagunakan Google Form dengan aplikasi ini pendokumentasian dapat dilakukan secara mandiri oleh peserta didik melalui bantuan orang tua

Fully Graph Sensitivity Solution of the Switched Circuits by Two-graph
Authors: Brtník Bohumil
Published: September 2021

The most general parameter of the electronic circuit is its sensitivity. Sensitivity analysis helps circuit designers to determine boundaries to predict the variations that a particular design variable will generate in a target specifications, if it differs from what is previously assumed. There are two basic methods for calculating the sensitivity: matrix methods and graph methods. The method described in this article is based on a graph, that contains separate input ad output nodes for each phase. This makes it possible to determine the transmission sensitivity even between partial switching phases. The described fully-graph method is suitable for switched current circuits and switched capacitors circuits, too

Published: September 2021

Sopeutumisvalmennuksen tavoitteena on tukea kuntoutujaa vamman tai pitkäaikaisen sairauden hallinnassa ja tarjota mahdollisuus vertaistukeen. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää sopeutumisvalmennuksen koettuja hyötyjä sekä terveydentilassa, toimintakyvyssä, hallinnan tunteessa ja valtaistumisessa tapahtuneita muutoksia ja niihin yhteydessä olevia kontekstitekijöitä. Tutkimukseen osallistui syöpää, fibromyalgiaa ja tyypin 1 diabetesta sairastavia kuntoutujia, jotka vastasivat ennen kurssin alkua lomakekyselyyn (n = 377) ja puoli vuotta kurssin päättymisen jälkeen seurantakyselyyn (n = 303). Kuntoutujista 58 % ilmoitti saaneensa valmennuksesta erittäin tai melko paljon hyötyä arjessa selviytymiseen: diabetesta sairastavat useammin kuin muut. Hyötykokemukset olivat epävakaassa elämäntilanteessa olevilla muita kuntoutujia harvinaisempia. Terveyteen liittyvä valtaistuminen oli vahvistunut kaikissa kuntoutujaryhmissä, erityisesti tiedollisen hallinnan osalta. Tutkimuksessa ei ollut vertailuryhmää, mikä on otettava huomioon tuloksia arvioitaessa.

Abstract

Subjective benefits, empowerment and psychological well-being after psychosocial rehabilitation

Adaptation training is psychosocial rehabilitation that aims to empower clients to cope with their illness or disability. The aim of the study was to examine subjective benefits as well as changes in subjective health, functional capacity, sense of mastery and health-related empowerment and contextual factors connected with these changes. The study group consisted of persons with cancer, fibromyalgia and Type 1 diabetes answering a pre-treatment questionnaire (n = 377) and six months after the intervention a mailed follow-up questionnaire (n = 303). Of the respondents, 58 % reported positive gains for their daily life from the intervention, those with diabetes more often than other groups. Those in disadvantaged life situations reported gains more seldom than the other groups. Health-related empowerment had strengthened in all study groups. There was no comparison group in the study which must be taken into account when assessing the results.

The article describes the politico-military situation in the Arctic, including the development of military capabilities of states in the region, the coastal infrastructure, the scales and the manner of military exercises, as well as the dynamics of the military landscape in the Arctic. The authors argue that the mili-tary capabilities in most parts of the Arctic remain moderate, primarily due to harsh climate restraints. However, military activity both of NATO member-states and Russia has increased considerably recently in the Euro-Arctic area adjacent to the North Atlantic, in particular in the waters of the Barents and the Nor-wegian seas. Mutual military deterrence in this area represents a "new old" normal that will shape the security situation in the Arctic in the long term. The article concludes by considering possible options for preventing escalation and minimizing the concerns of the sides by restoring a full, regular and institutionalized military dialogue between Russia and the rest of the Arctic states.

It is known that the alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACMP) is the main reason for lethality from chronic alcoholism. For ACMP the risk of development of malignant violations of a heart rhythm which result approximately at 40% of such patients is sudden heart death is extremely high. Materials and methods. Experiments were made on the ACMP translational model developed by us which is formed at rats by the end of the 24th week of compulsory reception of 10 % of ethanol solution. For studying the mechanisms which are the responsible of antiarrhythmic action of a fabomotizole dihydrochloride used a complex of morphohistological, electrophysiological and molecular researches. Results. It is shown that against the background of systematic therapy fabomotizole dihydrochloride (15 mg/kg, i.p.) daily within 28 days after 24 weeks of alcoholization, in comparison with alcoholized control the fat dystrophy of a myocardium significantly decreases and the threshold of electric fibrillation of heart ventricles is restored. According to results of molecular researches, a fabomotizole dihydrochloride significantly suppresses revealed in control alkoholized animals the abnormal mRNA expression of key receptor genes and proteins responsible for maintenance in cardiomyocytes of a homeostasis of ions of Ca++ and regulation of their rhythmic activity: regulatory proteins Epac1 (p = 0.021), Epac2 (p = 0.018), CaM (p = 0.00001) and also RyR2 (p = 0.031), IP3R2 (p = 0.006) receptors. Conclusion. The obtained results suggest that antiarrhythmic action of a fabomotizole dihydrochloride in the conditions of ACMP is connected with its ability to suppress abnormal activity of regulatory proteins Epac2 and RyR2, IP3R2 receptors.

The article identifies the impact of agricultural policy on the development of state regulation of the economies of European Union member states (EU). The main reason for the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for EU member states has been identified. Some key reforms have been analyzed implemented within the integration association. It was found that the reform of CAP is due to the need to address market price uncertainty, respond to expanding access to the EU market by free trade agreements, use digital technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of CAP tools, accelerate their practical application, increase attention to environmental issues, environment, and climate change. The article also presents the main economic and social goals of the CAP, which are included in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It is established that the institutional component of the CAP reform is reflected in the introduction of proposals into the legislative framework of the CAP for the period 2021-2027. The proposals of the European Commission were formulated in nine key objectives, which are considered in this article. Some tools, requirements for their use, and indicators for measuring progress towards the nine specific objectives of the CAP, which the European Commission has proposed to EU member states to achieve the defined goals are also analyzed. The CAP EU budget for 2014-2020 is considered and compared with the proposed budget for 2021-2027 (in constant 2018 prices).
Ukraine-Hetmanshchyna’s Evolution of Republican Form of Government at the End of XVII — XVIII Centuries
Authors: STENGACH Nadiya
Published: September 2021

Procedural-institutional forming of Ukrainian state was a complex process of state-administrative apparatus forming on central and local levels with the simultaneous development of relation’s regulation mechanisms both between the subjects of power and between its bearers and society. The organizational core of the state institute was formed on the legal principles of the political organization of the Cossack society, which also became the origin of the new Ukrainian political elite. The Ukrainian state was ruled through the interaction of two institutions — the Supreme Council and the Hetman, the relationship between which often influenced the effectiveness of the whole administrative vertical. The lower levels of the structural hierarchy consisted of the central and local authorities — the institutions of general, regimental and hundred foremen, bailiffs and atamans in the countryside, General Chancellery of the army, General Military Court, regimental and hundred managerial and judicial structures, local town councils and boards of shopkeepers, kopni courts, etc., through which the power monopoly to regulate public life was established. The electoral system was used for the formation of the power structures, although it was also common practice for some positions to be held by appointment. The Ukrainian elite of Hetmanshchyna in the late 17th-early 18th century displayed a tendency towards the European model of monarchism in its state structure. However, due to constant interference of Russian authorities in Ukrainian domestic political affairs, republican institutions remained the only ones through which the ideas of Ukrainian political subjectivity could be realized. The assertion of the Cossack senior officers’ full ownership of their estates determined the evolution of the republican form of government into an aristocratic republic. The comprehension of struggle between hetmans and general starshinas and development of political system of Zaporozhian Host reflected on the formation of aristocratic-democratic current in Ukrainian political thought.
Interpretation of the «Public Policy» Category in Recent Judicial Practice
Authors: KOSTIASHKIN Ivan , CHERNIAK Olena
Published: September 2021

The article studies the concept of «public policy», presents doctrinal definitions of public policy, as well as definitions used in judicial practice, in particular in the decisions of the Supreme Court. It is established that the Ukrainian legislation does not contain a definition of «public policy», but from the analysis of case law it can be concluded that the public policy of any country includes the fundamental principles and principles of justice, morality, state system, political system and economic security, which the state wishes to protect, which means «public policy» is a broad and abstract concept. At the same time, such a position of the legislator, given the case law cited in the article, is justified and reasoned. It is analyzed that the Civil Code of Ukraine lists the grounds on which the transaction can be considered as violating public policy, at the same time, the analysis of case law shows that the category of public policy does not apply to any legal relationship in the state, but only on the essential foundations of law and order. The article also analyzes that the recognition or enforcement of the decisions of an international commercial arbitral tribunal may be denied if the court finds that the recognition and enforcement of this arbitral award is contrary to public policy of Ukraine, as an example listed court cases in which the enforcement of arbitral awards was refused due to a violation of public policy. In view of the above, it is proved in the article that the definition and understanding of the category of public policy is important in recognizing and bringing to the enforcement of international commercial arbitration courts decisions, as well as recognition of transactions as such that violates the public policy, which leads to insignificance of such transactions. It is summarized that today in Ukraine there is no normative definition of the concept of «public policy», and from the analysis of judicial practice we can conclude that judges interpret the concept of «public policy» quite broadly and abstractly. However, given that quite often cases of recognition of a transaction as contrary to public policy (invalid transaction), as well as the recognition and enforcement of international commercial arbitration and foreign courts judgments are «technical» cases brought in order to avoid the liability of a party against whom the decision was made, such an interpretation of the concept of «public policy» gives judges the opportunity to fully investigate, whether transactions or decisions in force violates public policy or the fundamental principles of justice and fairness of the state, without a statutory restriction on the concept of «public policy».
Confirmation of the Authority of the Representative of an Individual in Civil Proceedings
Authors: SKOROPAD Dmytro
Published: September 2021

The issue of determining representation in civil proceedings is substantiated. The relation of procedural representation as procedural activity and as legal relations is investigated. Based on the analysis of legal acts, doctrinal approaches, case law, the position is maintained that the purpose of representation of an individual in civil proceedings is to provide legal assistance to an individual in order to protect his or her rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. On the basis of scientific and theoretical approaches the definition of procedural representation as a legal relationship is substantiated. The existence of two types of legal relations in procedural representation is substantiated: external between the representative and the court, which are based on the norms of procedural law, and internal, which are based on the norms of substantive law. The issue of confirmation of the powers of the representative of an individual in civil proceedings as a legal fact that gives rise to a legal relationship between the representative and the principal, the representative and the court is substantiated. The requirements to the documents confirming the authority of the representative are substantiated. The urgency of the issue of certification of the powers of the representative is substantiated, as the new amendments to the Civil procedural code have raised a number of debatable issues regarding the exercise of procedural rights through the representative. Based on the analysis of current legislation and the provisions of scientific doctrine, it is concluded that the consideration of the procedural capacity of the representative is reduced to the point of view that this is the authority of the representative. The decision of the Supreme Court was analyzed, thanks to which some conflicts concerning the certification of the authority of a representative of an individual were eliminated. Among the main tasks of the legislator — on the one hand, not to lose the positive achievements that regulated the certification of the representative of an individual, and on the other, to eliminate existing gaps in legislation that will allow individuals at a high professional level to resolve disputes in court, protect their rights and legitimate interests and ensure respect for the right to professional legal assistance, as well as ensure the right to a fair court.
Real Acts as a Public Administration Tool
Authors: MUZA Oleh
Published: September 2021

In the article the phenomenon of real acts as a public administration tool is researched. The consolidation of public administration tool «real acts» was first embodied in the German doctrine of administrative law. The scientific research of real acts in the Ukrainian administrative law hasn’t yet received the necessary results. It’s formulated the definition of real acts as informal decisions or actions of public administration bodies which are adopted or committed outside the legal regulation of administrative activities and aimed at communication with private persons. It’s determined the legal features of real acts: 1) they are informal decisions or actions of public administration bodies; 2) the purpose of their application is to inform private persons about socially significant information or to reach a consensus between public administration bodies and private persons during the administrative procedure; 3) their content doesn’t reflect the final result of the power influence of public administration bodies; 4) they are additional illegal means of communication of public administration bodies with private persons; 5) may be appealed in court in case of violation of the rights, freedoms or interests of private persons. It’s noted that the real acts for the legal nature and form of adoption (committed) aren’t administrative acts. It’s concluded that real acts complement the system of public administration tools and reflect the part of administrative activity of public administration bodies, which doesn’t have a legal formalization. The use of real acts by public administration bodies allows to increase the efficiency of relations with private persons during the occurrence of administrative procedure relations. The real acts aren’t legal facts that can lead to the dynamics of administrative legal relations, but their application may be subject of court legal proceedings to protect the rights, freedoms and interests of private persons with public administration bodies. Administrative procedural legislation of Ukraine should contain provisions on the possibility of applying real acts in order to expand the possibilities of public influence of public administration bodies on various spheres of public administration.

Dinocyst stratigraphy of the Lower Kimmeridge Clay, Westbury, England
Authors: Hansen Henrik Nøhr
Published: September 2021

Dinocyst assemblages from 41 samples collected from a 40 m section of the Jurassic Lower Kimmeridge Clay in a clay-pit in Westbury, Southern England, are described.
47 dinocyst species, 1 acritarch species and 1 tasmanid species are recorded. A new genus Pro­tobatioladinium and two new species Protobatioladinium westburiensis and Perisseiasphaeridium ingeger­dii are proposed. The species Palaeoperidinium crassinervum Deflandre, 1939 is redescribed and emen­ded.
The dinocyst assemblage is confined to the Endoscrinium luridum Zone (Wollam & Riding, 1983) which correlates with the Cymodoce, Mutabilis and Eudoxus ammonite zones. The Endoscrinium luridum Zone is subdivided into two new dinocyst subzones, Stephanelytron scarburghense and Perisseiasphaeridium pannosum.
Muscle scars in Porcellia (Gastropoda; Pleurotomariacea) from the Carboniferous of England
Authors: Peel John S.
Published: September 2021

1\vo shell retractor muscles are described on an internal mould of Porcellia woodwardi, a pleurotomaria­cean gastropod from the Carboniferous of England. The scars are located at the junction between the um­bilical wall, and the apical surface and the basal surface, respectively. Similar positioning of muscle scars in Bellerophon of the same age reflects morphological convergence of the planispiral, anisostrophic Por-cellia with the planispiral, but isostrophic Bellerophon. It is concluded that the shape of muscle scars, in detail, can not contribute to solving the question of the systematic position of Bellerophon.
Better self-concept, better future choices? Behavioral and neural changes after a naturalistic self-concept training program for adolescents

Published: September 2021

A large number of adolescents experience difficulty when choosing a suitable higher education program that matches their self-views. Stimulating self-concept development could help adolescents to increase their chances of finding a suitable major. We addressed this issue by examining the effects of a naturalistic self-concept training within a gap year context on behavioral and neural correlates of self-evaluations, as well as the long-term effects for future educational decision-making. In total, 38 adolescents/young adults (ages 16-24 years) participated in a 4-wave longitudinal study, with lab visits before, during, and after the training, including behavioral assessments and fMRI. During fMRI-scanning, they rated themselves on positive and negative traits in academic, (pro)social, and physical domains, and additionally filled out questionnaires related to self-esteem and self-concept clarity. Results showed that the positivity of domain-specific self-evaluations, self-esteem, and self-concept clarity increased during the training. Second, participants with lower medial PFC activity during self-evaluation before training showed larger self-esteem increases over the year. Moreover, mPFC activity increased after training for the evaluation of positive but not negative traits. Furthermore, individual differences in the rate of change (slope) in self-concept clarity and social self-evaluations positively predicted social adjustment to college and academic performance 6 months after training. Together, these findings suggest that self-concept can be modulated in late adolescents, with an important role of the medial PFC in relation to enhanced positive self-evaluations, and self-concept clarity as a predictor of future educational outcomes.
Range dynamics of some nemoral species of Lepidoptera in the Russian Far East due to climate change
Authors: Koshkin Evgeny S. , Bezborodov Vitaly G. , Kuzmin Aleksandr A.
Published: September 2021

New finds of seven East Asian Lepidoptera species in the Russian part of the southern Priamurye (Amur Basin area) are presented. Lobocla bifasciata (Bremer et Grey, 1853) (Hesperiidae), Acosmeryx naga (Moore, [1858]) and Rhagastis mongoliana (Butler, [1876]) (Sphingidae) were found in the Amur Oblast’ for the first time. Ambulyx tobii (Inoue, 1976) (Sphingidae) was first discovered in the Khabarovsk Kray; it was also found in the Chernigovsky district of the Primorsky Kray, northward from the previously known localities. New finds of very rare nemoral species, Chrysozephyrus brillantinus (Staudinger, 1887) (Lycaenidae) and Clanis undulosa Moore, 1879 (Sphingidae), in the Khabarovsk Kray are reported. It is shown that the subtropical and tropical species Siglophora sanguinolenta (Moore, 1888) (Nolidae), first collected in Russia in 2020, has successfully naturalized in the southern Khabarovsk Kray. New finds of these species indicate that the species have extended their ranges northward and naturalized in new areas. This has occurred due to climate changes in the Amur River basin over the past decades such as the rising average annual and average air temperatures during cold periods.

Published: September 2021

The aim of this research was to produce Streptomyces-extracellular chitinase and screen its antifungal activity on a clinically isolated Candida albicans. The Streptomyces were isolated from an agricultural farmland; they were identified and screened for the chitinase production. Effects of time, temperature, pH and nitrogen sources on the chitinase production were determined using standard methods. Ammonium sulphate precipitation was used to partially purify the chitinase. Protein concentrations were determined spectrophotometrically using bovine serum albumin as standard. Agar-well diffusion method was used to evaluate the antifungal activity of the chitinase on C. albicans. The isolated Streptomyces were of three (3) strains, and all the strains are Gram positive, catalase positive, oxidase positive while, Strain A and C are indole positive and only Strain B is citrate positive. The maximum chitinase production was at 72 h, 40°C and when yeast extract was used as the nitrogen source. Ammonium sulphate (80%) precipitation yielded the highest enzyme activity of 39.0U/ml. The maximum enzyme activity was observed at temperature of 40oC, pH 5.5 and 1.0% colloidal chitin (substrate). The partially purified chitinase showed a zone of inhibition of 20.11 ± 1.26 mm against the Candida albicans. This result has no significant difference (P>0.05) when compared with that of the standard drug (Fluconazole) with 21.42 ± 0.08 mm zone of inhibition. These findings suggest that Streptomyces at favourable conditions produce chitinase, and this enzyme can be used as an antifungal agent on Candida albicans and other chitin containing fungi.

The diagnosis of autoimmune rheumatoid diseases can be made by combining parameters consisting of clinical, histopathological, laboratory and immunological tests. Among these parameters, autoantibodies are of great benefit in differential diagnosis, especially for patients with unclear clinical data. Immunofluorescence, ELISA, immunodiffusion, immunoprecipitation and Western blot can be used to identify autoantibodies. While autoantibodies like antinukleer antibody, double stranded deoksiribonukleic asid and anti neutrophils antibody are detected by immunofluorescence as a golden standard test, Anti-cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody (CCP), antiphospholipid antibodies (anti-cardiolipid) are evaluated by ELISA and ENA group by immunoblot or western blot. Today the number of autoantibodies that can be detected is over 100. The indication of some of these autoantibodies are not known even today. The definition of antinuclear antibody group autoantibodies plays a crucial role for the diagnosis and treatment of systemic and organ-specific illnesses. With these methods, practical, fast and trustworthy results in clinical medicine and clinical immunology can be obtained.

Some metal filler powders, such as tungsten, are available as support materials in the bodies of ultrasonic transducers. The backing materials consist of two types of epoxy material, mainly hardener and adhesive, and filler powders. One of the reasons why these filler powders are incorporated into epoxy materials is the desire to achieve high acoustic impedance in ultrasonic probes. In this context, samples with different epoxy mixing ratios of tungsten added in amounts of 1, 2, 5 and 10 grams were prepared for the measurement, and the sound velocities used in the calculation of acoustic impedance were calculated over elastic modulus and densities measured by mechanical method. Thus, the effects of tungsten used in the support material in the probes of ultrasound devices were investigated. As a result, the increasing effect of tungsten on acoustic impedance was also determined with the calculations made by mechanical method.

The pandemic (2019-202?) caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the cause of the COVID-19 disease, has already taken its place in modern human history. In the first months of the pandemic, as a result of the sudden and intense interruption of human activities, the decrease in nature-human relationship has created noticeable effects on the environment. Most governments take measures to reduce the spread of infection, primarily by increasing the capacity of the health system and the social distance between people. An earthquake that may occur during a pandemic may interfere with the effective implementation of such measures and cause an increase in the spread of the virus. This study aims to analyze the potential effect of the infection rate that may increase after an earthquake in a region where the pandemic continues, and the effect of a future earthquake on the spread of the virus. An open-access software was used for this and data on locally verified case numbers were combined with a seismic hazard and risk map to create a combined index. This index reveals areas where integrated disaster preparedness and emergency plans should be developed to take into account the likelihood of the spread of the post-earthquake COVID-19 outbreak.
Evidence born from ASCOT trial – still important after 15 years
Authors: Rotar O. P.
Published: September 2021

The paper presents the overview evolution of hypertension identification and treatment during last 15 years after publication of ASCOT trial (AngloScandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) results. It discusses possible mechanism of more significant cardiovascular risk reduction in amlodipine/ perindopril group comparing with atenolol/diuretic group: central blood pressure, arterial stiffness, asleep blood pressure and BP variability. Innovative approaches in time of ASCOТ trial such as combined antihypertensive therapy from start and RAAS inhibitor as first line now became routine practice in actual guidelines. Importance of early prescribing of fixed antihypertensive combination and choice of safe drugs help to improve adherence and decrease resistant hypertension prevalence. Prevention of new onset of diabetes in metabolic patients needs application of metabolically neutral drugs and including of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors in combination therapy. Results of ASCOT-Legacy trial demonstrated long-term protective effect of amlodipine/perindopril combination resulting in decreasing mortality, rate of stroke and coronary events during 20-years follow-up.

In any treatment taken by patient, cost is an important dimension. These days, diagnostic tests comprise of a significant part of the health cost borne by patient for the treatment. Catastrophic expenditure is a commonly discussed issue by the health care administration. It is often argued that, outsourcing of the medical diagnostic tests is quite frequent. Daniel et al observed in their research survey that there were so many institutes which were outsourcing the tests.

Obesity is an accumulation of body fat, resulting in adverse health effects. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among population aged 30 years and above was 42 percent and 12 percent globally, respectively. This study presents the progressive onset of obesity in an adult male and examines the different risk factors as well as NYI for morbid obesity. A 24-year-old self-employed catering employee underwent Naturopathic and Yogic interventions (NYI) for a period of 30 days. He was assessed for anthropometric measurements, haematological assessments and perceived stress scale. Statistical tests using Excel were done with the Data Analysis ToolPak. In our case, we observed that the weight loss progressed as we increased the duration of the NYI.
Case Study of a 22-year-old student suffering from crippling migraine attacks
Authors: Singh Pawandeep
Published: September 2021

A 22 year old patient with symptoms of intense migraine with history of headaches that sometimes lasted upto 2 days have made her bedridden completely. The patient ignored the mild headache which were started 4 years back. Slowly the episodes started increasing in intensity and duration ultimately culminating in a fear psychosis as the attacks did not have any fixed pattern and could strike anywhere at any time. The patient consulted many consulted several doctors for many months and had even tried acupressure but failed to find any relief from the headache. The patient approached Rudraksh Ashtang Yoga Center and enrolled herself for Yoga therapy. After 6 months of Yoga intervention the patient was back to her normal routine life.

Freshwater shrimp of the family Atyidae De Haan, 1849 have been studied in Vietnam for more than a century. A total of 24 species of atyid shrimps from the generaCaridinaH. Milne Edwards, 1837,NeocaridinaKubo, 1938,AtyopsisChace, 1983 have been recorded from Vietnam. With 22 species, the majority are from the genusCaridina. In 2013, Karge and Klotz mentioned the occurrence of four yet undescribed species belonging toParacaridinaLiang, Guo & Tang, 1999 in Vietnam without taxonomic details.

In general, studies of freshwater atyids in Vietnam are limited and most Vietnamese taxa await a taxonomic revision. The available data do not fully reflect their estimated species diversity in the country and distribution data are deficient. Here, we focus on four species of atyid shrimps from two genera, viz.Caridina cantonensisYu, 1938,C. lanceifronsYu, 1936,C. serrataStimpson, 1860 andNeocaridina palmata(Shen, 1948), all described from China and have been reported to occur in Vietnam. The previous reports on the occurrence of these species in Vietnam are largely unreliable due to taxonomic confusion. To contribute to the knowledge of these taxa, we provide the first verified distribution records of the four species in the country with some taxonomic remarks.

This study shows the first taxonomically-verified distribution data of four atyid shrimp species originally described from China, but also reported from Vietnam, albeit under various species names and, in some cases, erroneously. These data allow the first meaningful discussion of the distribution in light of the reproductive strategy of these four species and, in conjunction with the taxonomic remarks, will contribute to the knowledge of these taxa. As a result of this research and data from previous studies, we now consider all four species as widespread and non-endemic, but land-locked (with a complete freshwater life cycle). In Vietnam, all four species are confined to the northern half of the country. Beyond Vietnam, we provide the first records forCaridina lanceifronsfrom southern Thailand, which suggests a major sampling gap in Indochina.
GeoNature, Open-Source FAIR Biodiversity Data Management

Huge improvements have been made throughout the years in collecting and standardising biodiversity data (Bisby 2000, Osawa 2019, Hardisty and Roberts 2013) and in overhauling how to make information in the field of biodiversity data management more FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) (Simons 2021), but there is still room for improvement. Most professionals working in protected areas, conservation groups, and research organisations lack the required know-how to improve the reuse ratio of their data. The GeoNature and GeoNature-Atlas (Monchicourt 2018, Corny et al. 2019) are a set of open-source software that facilitate data collection, management, validation, sharing (e.g., via Darwin Core standard) and visualisation. It is a powerful case study of collaborative work, which includes teams from private and public sectors with at least fifteen national parks and forty other organisations currently using and contributing to the package in France and Belgium (view it on github).
Apports de la (socio)linguistique appliquée pour la médiation de l’information à destination des MNA en France

Published: September 2021

Nous rendrons compte dans cet article de la recherche-action transdisciplinaire que nous menons dans le cadre du projet MIMNA. Nous montrerons comment les regards (socio) linguistiques entrecroisés avec les regards des professionnels de terrain, ont permis d’une part de co-construire des perspectives nouvelles pour la prise en compte des problématiques linguistiques, interculturelles et interactionnelles d’accès à l’information des MNA, et d’autre part, ont servi de base à la formalisation de principes et de stratégies de médiation à même de garantir une information effectivement adaptée aux MNA.
Reflections on the implications of Equity Release to self-fund ageing in Britain
Authors: Dubuc Sylvie
Published: September 2021

Le vieillissement de la population pèse sur les finances publiques et est devenu au problème de plus en plus urgent pour de nombreuses sociétés. Dans le climat politique actuel d’austérité, de rétraction de l’État-providence et de commercialisation des soins, l’autofinancement des coûts du vieillissement mobilisant le patrimoine immobilier des retraités peut sembler une option attrayante aux décideurs politiques. Les produits financiers du type ‘equity release’ au Royaume-Uni permettent aux propriétaires âgés d’utiliser une partie de la valeur de leur maison, tout en retardant le remboursement du prêt jusqu’à leur décès. En analysant le cas du Royaume-Uni, l’article décrit et explique le marché et les produits de type’equity release’, la diversité sociale des clients de ces produits financiers et leur concentration géographique dans les régions à forte valeur immobilière. Les implications de la généralisation de la pratique pour financer le vieillissement sont discutées. L’analyse remet en question l’argument de l’équité intergénérationnelle et met en évidence le risque important de renforcement des inégalités sociales et géographiques. Les conclusions et les recommandations peuvent orienter les recherches et les politiques futures au Royaume-Uni et ailleurs.

Published: September 2021

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the ground state and its energy for the nonlinear Schrödinger system with three wave interaction on the parameter \begin{document}$ \gamma $\end{document} as \begin{document}$ \gamma \to \infty $\end{document}. In addition we prove the existence of the positive threshold \begin{document}$ \gamma^* $\end{document} such that the ground state is a scalar solution for \begin{document}$ 0 \le \gamma < \gamma^* $\end{document} and is a vector solution for \begin{document}$ \gamma > \gamma^* $\end{document}.
