БЕСПИЛОТНЫЙ ЛЕТАТЕЛЬНЫЙ АППАРАТ ДЛЯ БЕЗОПАСНОГО ПОЛЕТА В НЕПОСРЕДСТВЕННОЙ БЛИЗОСТИ ОТ ЛЮДЕЙ
Authors: Калекеева Марина , Асилбекова Индира , Абжапбарова Айнур
Published: February 2023

Беспилотные летательные аппараты (БПЛА) для доставки, используемые сегодня логистическими компаниями, оснащены неэкранированными пропеллерами, которые представляют собой серьезное препятствие для доставки посылок из рук в руки. Открытые лопасти пропеллера опасны для ничего не подозревающих прохожих, домашних животных и неподготовленных пользователей. Одним из решений для обеспечения безопасности является установка на БПЛА всеобъемлющей защитной оболочки. Однако конструкции существующих конструкций сепараторов имеют низкую плотность, чтобы свести к минимуму препятствие воздушному потоку пропеллера, чтобы не снижать эффективность. Относительно большие отверстия в клетке не защищают руки и пальцы от быстро вращающихся пропеллеров. Здесь в статье описывается новый подход к безопасности и аэродинамической эффективности с помощью каркаса высокой плотности и трансформирующихся рычагов, вдохновленных коробчатой черепахой. Клетка БПЛА изготовлена из плотной и легкой сетки. При полете в непосредственной близости от людей рычаги и пропеллеры убираются и полностью герметизируются внутри корпуса, что делает БПЛА безопасным, а также уменьшает общую площадь занимаемой площади. При полете на крейсерской высоте вдали от людей и предметов рычаги и пропеллеры выходят за пределы защитной сетки, что повышает аэродинамическую эффективность более чем на 20%.

Tectonic position, hydrocarbon exploration and future potential of Bulgaria
Authors: Bokov Peter , Gočev Petar , Ognyanov Roumen
Published: February 2023

The Phanerozoic geological history of Bulgaria is extremely rich in large scale phenomena which have caused the present-day variety of specific and disparate tectonic units on the territory of the country. The main large regions are the Moesian Platform and part of the Alpine orogen, as well as the slope and the foot of the deep-sea megadepression in the Black Sea to the east. The better studied Meso-Neozoic history is based on the relations between the stable Eurasia and the northern margin of the Paleo- and Neo Tethys. Paleoalpides (Old Kimmerides and Austrides), Mezoalpides (Subhercynian and Laramie) and Neoalpides (Illirian-Pyrenean) have been recognized. The geological structure and first of all the tectonic setting are an objective prerequisite for comparing the results available of oil- and gas exploration and for directing future works. The main productive fields occur in Triassic, Lower-Middle Jurassic, Valanginian and Paleogene sediments. They are mainly concentrated in the southern part of the platform and some adjacent parts of the Forebalkan where topography has favoured some seismic studies. The whole hydrocarbon potential is not completely known because of the large number of areas that in fact have not been studied. These are the southern parts of the Forebalkan, the Balkan, the northern parts of the Srednogorie, the southern shelf, the Paleozoic sediments in the platform, the continental slope (especially its prograde parts and the foot). The necessity of their study with modern techniques and technology is determined by the favourable conditions for the oil- and gas search which is demonstrated by some concrete data and by research results obtained so far.
Capítulo 2. Mito y posverdad. Entre la ficción y la política
Authors: Huici Adrián
Published: February 2023

Este trabajo intenta revela los elementos míticos y, por tanto, con fuerte carga emocional e irracional en el universo de la acción política, con especial hincapié en la figura de Donald Trump y su discurso propagandístico.El mito puede considerarse un universal antropológico que constituyo el primer intento de hombre de explicar el mundo y de explicarse a sí mismo, instrumento cuya lógica es puramente emocional y, por ende, irracional. Su forma fundamental es el relato y su sustancia hunde sus raíces en la psicología profunda de las personas y las masas: obviamente, estas características lo vuelven un instrumento de persuasión de máximo nivel y, por tanto, en arma política.Precisamente, el discurso de Trump se mueve en esos parámetros: apelación a las emociones más elementales, irracionalidad, apelación a lo meramente instintivo (que puede derivar en la violencia), etc. Ello puede verse en sus alusiones al patriotismo excluyente, a la pureza de sangre, a la amenaza del extraño, a las promesas de un presunto paraíso blanco, etc. Todo ello se plasmó de forma evidente y brutal en el intento de toma del Capitolio.

Dasatinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinas inhibitoris effective against most cases of imatinib-resistant Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), and this drug has also shown significant glucose-lowering effects. Here, we report two diabetes patients with sudden onset of CML. In Case 1, dasatinib produced mild but clear improvement of hyperglycemia with the same anti-diabetic regimen together with rapid control of CML. In Case 2, initiation of dasatinib resulted inmarked potentiation of insulin-induced glucose-lowering effects in parallel with rapid improvements of CML. In both cases, this favorable diabetes control was well maintained for 5 years under leukemia management with dasatinib

Authors: Camargo Kélvia Cristina de , Alves Rosane Ribeiro Figueiredo , Saddi Vera Aparecida
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by the imbalance of the vaginal flora, with decrease in Lactobacillus and increase in other bacteria. Objective: To investigate the prevalence and factors associated with bacterial vaginosis. Methods: Systematic review based on the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, filed in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. The research was conducted in the PubMed and Scopus databases in September 2021. After reading the titles and abstracts of 84 articles and the full text of 20 articles, 10 of them were included in the review. The articles were considered eligible if they investigated the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis and used Amsel’s diagnostic criteria or Gram-stained bacterioscopy in women of reproductive age without comorbidities. The studies were evaluated by two investigators to establish reliability. The risk of bias and the quality of the selected studies were evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Results: The mean prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in the included studies was 25.4% (95%CI 24.0–26.8). In three population-based studies, the mean prevalence was 18.1% (95%CI 16.0–20.5); and in seven clinic-based studies, it was 27.2% (95%CI 24.6–29.9). The factors associated with bacterial vaginosis were the use of sex accessories (OR 2.4; 95%CI 1.1–4.9), marital status “single” (OR 1.4; 95%CI 1.1–1.8), partner infidelity (OR 1.5; 95%CI 1.2–1.9), abnormal vaginal secretion (OR 1.5; 95%CI 1.2–2.0), and the presence of trichomoniasis (OR 4.1; 95%CI 1.5–11.5). Conclusion: The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was high, and the associated factors are linked to sexual behavior.
La política de transición ecológica de Ecuador y la despolitización de la naturaleza
Authors: Salazar Gómez Lucía Belén
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo apunta a evidenciar la despolitización de la naturaleza en la agenda de la transición ecológica del Gobierno de Guillermo Lasso en Ecuador, a fin de cuestionar el discurso hegemónico en el país, su apoliticidad e incompatibilidad con el cumplimiento del mandato constitucional. Se subdivide en tres apartados. El primero analiza el discurso ambiental sobre la transición ecológica a modo de crónica. Luego se demuestra la existencia de un discurso hegemónico que despolitiza la naturaleza desde la política pública y neutraliza cualquier aspiración de transformación real. Por último, se replantean las implicaciones de una naturaleza que ostenta derechos fundamentales en la Constitución de la República del Ecuador, una naturaleza politizada que define la ruta de una transición ecológica socialmente justa.
Tecnociencia campesina y logística agroecológica: campos de lucha emergentes en la insurgencia por una transición justa en Italia
Authors: Autorino Pietro
Published: February 2023

En este artículo, me refiero al caso de la oposición en Italia al Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR, «Plan Nacional para la Recuperación y la Resiliencia») por su lavado verde de las políticas neoliberales de desarrollo. El objetivo es delinear la forma en que las luchas campesinas por la agroecología se están reposicionando en la insurgencia concurrente por una transición justa. Sugiero que el cambio discursivo de la soberanía alimentaria hacia la agroecología ha sido un motor de convergencia hacia el movimiento por la justicia climática, y observo cómo esto refleja a su vez un movimiento ontológico de justicia climática hacia las prácticas e imaginarios de la agroecología campesina. De ahí que proponga la política ontológica como lente teórico-analítica para interrogar la coexistencia de la política experimental y la prefiguración en las prácticas e imaginarios de las agroecologías campesinas insurgentes. En última instancia, y en una fase preliminar de la investigación, intento describir estas políticas ontológicas en términos de logística agroecológica y tecnociencia campesina, dos campos emergentes de lucha por la agroecología campesina en la convergencia de la transición justa.

Authors: De Winkel Tobias Van , Janssens Ward , Messaoudi Nouredin , Schoneveld Martijn , Stijns Jasper , Van Eetvelde Ellen , JL Jansen Yanina
Published: February 2023

Introduction: COVID-19 is associated with increased coagulability, resulting in thromboembolic complications, such as intestinal ischemia. Diagnosis of bowel infarction can be challenging due to the severity of illness and the laboratory changes associated with the COVID-19 infection itself.

Case Series: In a retrospective monocentric study, we performed an in-depth analysis of the clinical course of intestinal ischemia in COVID-19 patients. Biochemical analysis of coagulation status and predictors of ischemia was performed. We identified five patients with intestinal ischemia, between March 2020 and January 2021. Mean time-to-onset of intestinal ischemia from COVID-diagnosis was 31 days (range 16–56). Intestinal ischemia was confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan. D-dimer, Fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were elevated prior to the ischemic event, but no recurrent pattern could be distinguished in our case series. Lactate levels demonstrated a marked increase at the time of ischemia in our series. No consistent findings were made for prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and creatin kinase. Extent of bowel ischemia varied between limited to the ileocecal region (two patients), additional ischemia of small and large bowel (two patients) and extensive ischemia of entire intestinal tract (one patient). Four patients (80%) required an ileostomy. Planned relook surgery was performed in three patients (60%). Three (60%) patients died.

Conclusion: In the five days prior to an intestinal ischemic event in COVID-19 patients, we did not identify a clear pattern in commonly used markers for coagulation status and ischemia. However, lactate levels showed a recurrent pattern of clear increase leading up to the ischemic event and rapid normalization after surgery. Unfortunately, our patient numbers were too small to draw definitive conclusions.

MORAL PERSONAL QUALITIES AS DETERMINANTS OF PERSONALITY COMPETITIVENESS
Authors: Хазова С. А.
Published: February 2023

В работе анализируются вопросы детерминирования востребованности специалиста, его конкурентоспособности морально-нравственными качествами личности, стоящими над требованиями профессии. С психолого-педагогических и социально-экономических позиций на основе теоретического анализа и обобщения научных данных, а также на основе результатов эмпирических исследований обоснована правомерность постановки и обеспечено достижение цели исследования: определить спектр морально-нравственных качеств, выступающих детерминантами востребованности специалистов, и раскрыть причину указанно детерминационного значения этих качеств. Основным результатом, изложенным в работе, является констатация научного факта о том, что морально-нравственные качества правомерно рассматривать как стратегическое и пролонгированное конкурентное преимущество специалиста, в значительной степени детерминирующее его востребованность на рынке труда и в процессе профессиональной деятельности. Именно эти качества обусловливают добросовестность конкуренции, взаимное доверие в коллективах; они практически во все времена и практически во всех обществах, реально или номинально, но признаются положительными, являются социально одобряемыми и, вероятно, отвечают ментальным особенностям россиян, по-прежнему склонных оценивать личность вначале по ее общечеловеческим качествам, а потом уж по профессиональным.

The paper analyzes the issues of determining the demand for a specialist, his competitiveness by the moral qualities of a person, standing above the requirements of the profession. Proceeding from the psychological, pedagogical and socio-economic positions, basing on theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific data, and the results of empirical research, the legitimacy of the statement is substantiated and the achievement of the research goal is ensured, namely: to determine the range of moral qualities that act as determinants of the demand for specialists, and to reveal the reason for the specified deterministic value of these qualities. The main result presented in the work is a statement of the scientific fact that moral qualities can be legitimately considered as a strategic and prolonged competitive advantage of a specialist, which largely determines his demand in the labor market and in the process of professional activity. It is these qualities that determine the integrity of competition, and mutual trust in teams. They are practically at all times and in almost all societies, actually or nominally, are recognized as positive, they are socially approved and, probably, correspond to the mental characteristics of Russians, who are still inclined to evaluate a person, first by his general human qualities, and only then by professional ones.

Published: February 2023

Globally, 80% of the world population uses the herbal medicines. Wellbeing is a key guideline in arranging natural prescriptions and herbal products for medical care, and a basic segment of value control. Among consumers, there is a widespread misconception that “natural” always mean “safe.” However, certain adverse occurrences recorded in relation with herbal products are due to quality issues. Ongoing improvements in sub-atomic plant ID utilizing DNA arrangement information empower exact recognizable proof of plant species from herbal prescriptions utilizing characterized DNA markers for identification of species by the application of short sequence of genome by DNA barcoding. It depends on three unique cornerstones of current scientific classification, including molecularization (i.e., the utilization of the fluctuation of sub-atomic markers as discriminator; computerization (i.e., the non-repetitive rendering of the information utilizing informatic; and normalization (i.e., the augmentation of a way to deal with general gatherings of not carefully related life forms). DNA meta-barcoding is a specific application of this field which includes several organisms. Both the techniques are highly demandable for the rapid authentication of herbal drugs. The implementations for a strong and exhaustive barcoding framework are advocated and promise a scope of potential advantages, both monetarily and environmentally. The age and curation of DNA reference information of natural medications should turn into a public opinion need and perceived as a basic science foundation of the pharma world.

Dai generi ai modi: premesse per una teoria dell'ibridazione
Authors: Misia Martina Elisabetta
Published: February 2023

L’articolo offre un contributo al dibattito sull’ibridazione, cercando di superare gli schematismi riguardanti tale concetto. Le premesse per un discorso teorico vengono individuate nell’estetica del conflitto di Friedrich Nietzsche, che scorge nell’opera d’arte il luogo di una lotta tra forze opposte e pone così le basi per una distinzione tra ibridazioni sterili e ibridazioni feconde. Le riflessioni del filosofo tedesco consentono l’elaborazione di una riflessione sull’ibridazione capace di rinunciare all’esaltazione unilaterale delle mescolanze come fenomeno della modernità e di superare le teorie che prediligono i generi in favore di quelle che prediligono i modi di essere e gli stili di pensiero, che meglio permettono di descrivere lo statuto ontologico di oggetti semantici come esseri umani e opere d’arte. L’analisi dei Figli della mezzanotte fornirà un’esemplificazione di tale prospettiva.
Passare il limite: funzioni espressive e implicazioni filosofiche della metalessi
Authors: Graziani Lorenzo
Published: February 2023

Dal punto di vista narratologico, la metalessi si definisce come una trasgressione della gerarchia narrativa in cui un elemento appartenente a un livello superiore si trova ad agire a uno inferiore e viceversa. Il presente saggio offre un’analisi delle funzioni espressive e delle implicazioni filosofiche della metalessi. Viene principalmente sottolineata la sua capacità di illustrare – attraverso i mezzi propri della letteratura – problematiche del pensiero di interesse capitale. Il paradossale attraversamento di livelli che la caratterizza compare infatti in attività intellettuali situate in territori abbastanza distanti da quello della creazione artistico-letteraria – come logica, metafisica, filosofia del linguaggio e psicoanalisi. Nostro obiettivo è dimostrare che le potenzialità espressive della metalessi vanno ben oltre la rappresentazione del problematico rapporto tra fatto e finzione in quanto la struttura metalettica riproduce narrativamente una serie di operazioni mentali compiute dal pensiero umano ogni volta che va alla ricerca dei propri limiti.
‘Owing the Comforts of Life to Art’: Elizabeth Helme’s Critical Reception and the Practice of Writing
Authors: Font Paz Carme
Published: February 2023

In the context of the rise of the novel in eighteenth-century Britain, this article examines the understudied production of Elizabeth Helme (c. 1743-1814), who enjoyed a long and successful career as a writer of novels, as a translator and essayist. Special attention will be paid to Helme’s reception in the English press and the translations of her novels into Spanish and French.  It will further argue that Helme’s own practice as author, translator, and translated author configured a synergy of knowledge-building that allowed her to articulate her own style as a writer and posed a critical reflection about the art of writing, particularly in her non-fiction work that remains largely unexplored. More generally, Helme’s eclectic approach is indicative of the ways in which eighteenth-century translation and writing practice can foster reflection on literary theory and criticism by confronting the author with the function of their own work.
Guardiani del Nord. Gli Stati Uniti e la geopolitica della crisi climatica nell’Artico
Authors: Lavorio Agata
Published: February 2023

La crisi climatica può davvero riscrivere la geografia e la geopolitica degli Stati Uniti nell’Artico? A lungo la domanda è rimasta in sordina: questo libro dimostra come la crisi climatica stia minando concetti geopolitici ritenuti tradizionalmente immutabili, come l'invulnerabilità del continente americano da nord e il concetto stesso di insularità della superpotenza americana. La trasformazione avviene in una cornice dove il cambiamento climatico è fattore che influenza – ma non determina – la sicurezza nazionale e le politiche di difesa. Il volume si pone come opera di interesse per gli studiosi di Relazioni internazionali, ma anche per un pubblico più vasto di lettori interessati alle questioni politiche, al cambiamento climatico e alla geopolitica.

Today, the educational process is characterized by many features, but it also suffers from many problems, especially in developing countries. The process of mentoring can be traced back to when man began to exist, Kochhar (2011). Systematic career guidance was started between 1890 and 1905 by Frank Parsons, who is known as the father of career guidance. Most of the students in secondary level schools face such problems so these problems can be solved easily with the guidance of teachers. The purpose of this research is to identify the main issue teacher training needs in secondary schools and the role of management in this. The study was limited by limited time, expertise, resources and respondents. This research is inspired by developmental theory and the design we have used in our research is descriptive with qualitative paradigm. Data were collected through a structured interview protocol of a prescribed questionnaire. A face-to-face interview protocol was used as a data collection tool. Data were analyzed through a thematic approach. Findings from this study suggested that since the teacher is in direct and omnidirectional contact with the students, if he is used directly for the purpose of guidance, it will be better for the students.

An Appraisal of Women Protection Laws & Factors Responsible for Frequent Enhancement of Domestic Violence against Women: An International Perspective
Authors: Saeed Jameela , Bhatti Shaukat Hussain
Published: February 2023

It is undeniable that women play a crucial role in families, societies, and nations, and it is difficult for communities to survive without them. This immutable realism is a natural phenomenon to comprehend societal goals. Domestic violence (IPV) is a problem that has had a long history and has evolved along with humanity. Despite several legal and punitive efforts, the issue persists and must be addressed to accomplish the intended consequences for societal cohesion by protecting the importance of women's rights. In addition to mental illness and women's depression brought on by domestic violence, society is also experiencing negative impacts that, in the end, prevent the achievement of sustainable development objectives by destroying the countries. Intimate partner violence (IPV) seems to be linked to the victims' personalities, yet its negative ramifications affect the whole community. This study will look at a situational analysis to see whether the present legislative framework is suitable by fixing flaws or in some other manner to accomplish the conditions for sustainable development goals.

Published: February 2023

The current research study investigates the impact of ownership structure, and board composition on earnings management for a sample of 200 Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) listed non-financial firms. An index of ownership structure and board composition is created using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Earnings Management is calculated using the Real Earnings Management approach. The impact of ownership structure and board composition on earnings management is investigated using the generalized method of moments (GMM). The findings of the study indicate that an increase in the levels of institutional and family ownership (ownership structure) helps in restraining the opportunistic behavior of management from managing earnings and vice versa. Conversely, board composition has a positive and noteworthy impact on earnings management. The findings of this research are useful for corporate managers in understanding the importance of ownership structure and earnings management to restrict earnings management.
COMPARISON BETWEEN TOTAL INTRAVENOUS ANESTHESIA (TIVA) WITH PROPOFOL – FENTANYL AND BALANCED ANESTHESIA WITH SEVOFLURANE – FENTANYL IN TERMS OF HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES AND RECOVERY PROFILES DURING LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

Background: Sevoflurane and propofol are considered to be the agents of choice in laparoscopic surgery due to their smooth induction of anesthesia, hemodynamic stability, better recovery profile and less postoperative complications. The aim of study is to compare hemodynamic changes and recovery profile of propofol with sevoflurane-based anesthesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: Single blind comparative study was conducted among 132 patients aged 18-65 years, ASA-PS I & II undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, randomized by computer generated random number table into two groups, 66 patients each- Group A patients induced with propofol 1.5-2.5 mg/kg IV and maintained with propofol 100-200 mcg/kg/min IV and Group B induced with sevoflurane and maintained with sevoflurane at minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3. Primary outcome were hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure) and recovery profile.
Results: Intraoperative heart rate and diastolic blood pressure were comparable between two groups at all times while there was a significantly lower systolic blood pressure only at 3 and 5 minutes after intubation in group B compared to group A (p < 0.05). Recovery profiles assessed in terms of time of eye opening (657.89 ± 172.30 s vs 453.58 ± 157.49 s), obeying command (696.79 ± 192.44s vs 481.06±164.96s), and time of extubation (706.41±166.27s vs 483.38±160.62s) were significantly faster in group B (p value < 0.001).
Conclusions: Hemodynamic changes were comparable between propofol group and sevoflurane group while sevoflurane group had faster recovery.
FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF MEDIAL GASTROCNEMIUS MUSCLE PEDICLE FLAP FOR SOFT TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION AROUND THE KNEE AND PROXIMAL LEG
Authors: Pandey Suresh , Bidary Suraj
Published: February 2023

Background: Soft tissue coverage around the knee and a proximal third leg can be done using a medial Gastrocnemius Muscle Pedicle Flap (GMPF). There are variable results in the literature about its outcome and such study is lacking in our country. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the outcome of the medial GMPF to reconstruct the defect around the knee and proximal 3rd leg.
Methods: It was a retrospective study of 21 cases of medial GMPF reconstruction to cover the defect around the knee and proximal third leg over 2 years in tertiary care hospital. The outcome variables measured were flap and graft take up, fracture union, knee range of motion, and complications. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 20.0 with descriptive statistics for categorical and discrete variables.
Results: The mean age of the patient was 37.19 years (range 21-65). Out of a total of 21 cases, 20 (95.2%) were traumatic wound defects, whereas 1 case was complications of necrotizing fasciitis. Flap and graft take-up was good in all the cases. The mean time for union of tibia fracture was 24.57 weeks (range 16-36). The mean knee range of motion was 125 degrees (range 90-145). Two cases had a superficial infection and one had a deep infection.
Conclusions: Medial GMPF gives satisfactory results in soft tissue reconstruction about knee and proximal 3rd leg and it can be performed well by trained orthopedic surgeons also with consistently good results.
