War as a separate and independent factor for rise in COVID-19 cases and death: how to use vitamins, and other bioactive compounds in the absence of vaccine
Authors: Martirosyan Danik , Gilbert Katelynn , Pitts Benjamin , Allen Autumn
Published: December 2020

Background: COVID-19 is recognized as an acute upper respiratory disease. As the current COVID-19 pandemic nears the anticipated second wave of cases, many countries are struggling with tactics on how to limit the spread of the virus. With the emergence of conflict in the Artsakh region in late September, there has been a sharp rise in COVID cases both in this region and in surrounding countries that appears to be dissimilar from global transmission rates. This trend indicates that war could be acting as an independent and separate factor to COVID-19 spread in this area. With vaccines still in development, alternative methods of curbing the disease and its symptoms are of the utmost importance.Methods: This article examines the historical context of war as a contributing factor in the spread of disease as well as the history of the Artsakh region. Comparing data gathered from the World Health Organization (WHO) on the conflicting region to case counts and death rates in neighboring countries and globally will reveal how transmission rates in this area may be different than others. A review of published literature on functional food ingredients to combat COVID-19 will also be used to frame guidelines and recommendations to reduce the spread of the virus.Results and Conclusions: Based on data from the WHO on the Artsakh region, war appears to act as a separate and independent factor in COVID-19 transmission rates.  To control the spread of COVID-19, it is important to eliminate war as a transmission factor by encouraging a ceasefire in areas of conflict and using materials and guidelines from the FFC to help control further spread. FFC guidelines include the use of functional food ingredients to mitigate intestinal and respiratory symptoms, while still promoting social distancing and the use of masks.Keywords: COVID-19, Artsakh region, war, WHO, functional food, bioactive compound, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, folate, iron, selenium, copper

Published: December 2020

Dalam industri manufaktur modern, 3D Printer dan Laser Engraver merupakan dua fungsi dasar yang dapat mewujudkan objek rancangan 3D sesuai dengan fungsi yang diinginkan secara cepat dan ekonomis. Meskipun demikian, secara umum dalam prakteknya seringkali kedua fungsi tersebut hanya dapat dipenuhi oleh dua jenis alat berbeda. Tentu saja hal ini akan berdampak pada tingginya biaya-biaya yang dikeluarkan oleh pelaku-pelaku industri manufaktur, baik dari segi biaya operasional, biaya pengadaan, waktu produksi, dan lain sebagainya. Oleh karena itu diperlukan perancangan alat berbiaya rendah yang dapat mengintegrasikan dua fungsi yaitu 3D Printer dan Laser Engraving. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan perancangan sistem alat yang dapat mengintegrasikan fungsi 3D printer dan Laser Engraver dengan hanya memvariasikan head sehingga dalam penggunaanya, head dapat diganti dari 3D Printer ke Laser Engraver dan juga sebaliknya. Pengujian fungsi 3D printer dilakukan berdasarkan fenomena bridging, overhang, dan oozebane melalui variasi parameter sehingga dihasilkan pengaturan optimal pada suhu hotend 185 °C, suhu heated bed 50 °C dan feedrate cetak 25 mm/min sehingga didapat akurasi dan kepresisian pada proses 3D Printer dengan material PLA sebesar 0,1 mm. Sedangkan pada pengujian fungsi Laser Engraver didapat penandaan (marking) yang optimal pada jarak head laser 75 mm, sedangkan kecepatan gerak optimum pada material kardus sebesar 400 mm/min, dan material triplek pada 300 mm/min.
Investigate the mechanical properties of Si/Ge (Ge/Si) core-shell nanowires: A molecular dynamics study
Authors: Van Thanh Vuong , The Quang Tran , Tuan Hung Nguyen , Le Huy Vu , Van Truong Do
Published: December 2020

Nanowires (NWs) have been used increasingly in practice due to their outstanding mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In this paper, we use the molecular dynamics (MD) method to investigate the mechanical properties of NWs (Si/Ge, Ge/Si) with a core-shell structure under the axial tensile strain along the <100>/{100} direction. Our results show that the strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si and Si/Ge NWs depend on the composition and size of the core/shell crosssection. The strength and strain of Ge/Si NW decrease with increasing the size of the core crosssection because of the lattice mismatch between two layers of core/shell materials. The elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs increases with the increasing the size of the core cross-section, while the elastic modulus of the Si/Ge NW decreases. In addition, the theoretical strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs reduce with the growth of the temperature. Furthermore, we also investigate the effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the Ge/Si NWs. The obtained results of the study provide the intrinsic properties of the core-shell NWs and also help in the design and fabrication of electronic and optical devices based on the Ge/Si NWs.

Published: December 2020

SRAM cells are used in many applications such as micro and multi core processor. SRAM cell improves both read stability and write ability at low supply voltage. The objective is to reduce the power dissipation of a novel low power 12T SRAM cell. This method removes half-select issue in 6T and 9T SRAM cell. This work proposes new functional low-power designs of SRAM cells with 6T, 9T and 12 transistors which operate at only 0.4V power supply in sub-threshold operation at 45 nm technology. The leakage power consumption of the proposed SRAM cell is thereby reduced compared to that of the conventional six-transistor (6T) SRAM cell. 12T cell obtains low static power dissipation.

Published: December 2020

In the recent years the computational units are optimized to reduce the computation time. Multiplier is an electronic circuit used in digital electronics and has a significant role in vlsi applications. The 4:2 compressors have a flexibility of switching between exact and appropriate operating modes. In the appropriate mode the dual quality compressors provides higher speeds and consumes low power. Using these compressors in the structures of parallel multipliers provides configurable multipliers whose accuracies (as well as their powers and speeds) may change dynamically during the runtime. The efficiencies of these compressors are used in another type of multiplier and are evaluated in 45 nm standard CMOS technology. By comparing the parameters of this multiplier with those of appropriate multipliers, the results indicate a better in almost all the aspects.

Published: December 2020

Now-a-days its becoming very important to know about any information in a digital way in order to avoid crimes and mischief activites. Conventional methods that are used now do have limited advantages we have to check for every minute information in thorough way. By using this method, we need not put effort of many hours over monitors, instead it gives the complete information about what, how and when that happened over there. This method shows how to perform automatic detection and motion-based tracking of moving objects in a video from stationary camera. Detection of motion-based tracking are important components of many computer vision applications including activity recognition, traffic monitoring and automotive safety The problem of motion based object tracking can be divided into two parts:

[1]Detecting moving objects in each frame.

[2]Associating the detections corresponding to the same object over time.

For instance in a video surveillance system that aims to identify people based on their motion information, it is essential to accurately detect the moving objects and then use a robust algorithm to track them. In terms of accuracy and efficiency, the proposed method is shown to be highly accurate in determning the number of moving objects and also fast in tracking them in the scene.

Slaying the Monsters of Racism: A Geertzian Reading of Night of the Living Dead
Authors: Chen Mengxi
Published: December 2020

Religion and culture are interact with each other, and by the definition of Clifford Geertz, rituals can be expressed by quite a lot of ways in art. No one can doubt that in our world we are surrounded by religious symbols, which represent themselves via paintings, musics and movies. In this article, the author wants to elaborate how the horror movie, this unique movie genre, worked in illustrate social issues of civil rights movements of 1960s. In Night of the Living Dead, the zombies represent the middle class racism and the complacency about racism, which are  indifferent and bloodthirsty.  The dynamic process of killing the zombies presents the rituals of the U.S. that the heroes always conquer the evil. On the other hand, the evil always stands for the shortcoming of humans. The fighting between the righteous and the evil never stops.

The distribution of lesions in the two groups was compared: bilateral lung lesions (77.80%, 66.70%), unilateral lesions (17.80%, 5.50%), and no lesions (4.40%, 27.80%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in laboratory tests (P>0.05). Conclusions — Compared with the first generation cases, the second generation cases have different degrees of relief in clinical classification, lower respiratory symptoms and the number of lung lesions; the differentiation of the transmission generation has a certain reference value for the evaluation of the disease condition.
What Is Meaning: Reference or Something Else?
Authors: Zhao Xinyu
Published: December 2020

The debate over the meaning of referential terms has a long history in both linguistics and language philosophy. Moore applied referential theory of meaning in two famous arguments: The Refutation of Idealism and The Open Question Argument. The validity of referential theory is key point to decide whether these two arguments are successful or not. This paper argues that the plausibility of referential theory is subject to controversy and thus the conclusions of these two arguments are logically invalid. This research firstly demonstrates the logic behind Moore’s two arguments and explain how Moore reached his conclusions by assuming the referential theory of meaning, then discusses problems that referentialism inevitably confronts, proving the solutions that Moore proposed to solve these problems are unfeasible, and concludes that these arguments fail for it doesn’t comply with our rational intuition, providing linguistic perspective to examine philosophical problems.

Published: December 2020

Leptospirosis remains one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases in the world and Ukraine, in particular. Ukrainian clinicians have been faced with early detection of the disease due to the availability of only a serological method for routine diagnostics in Ukraine, namely the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). This paper demonstrates the first results of the complex application of MAT and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for routine verification of leptospirosis, which were first applied simultaneously in Lviv Oblast of Ukraine in 2016. We examined the sera of 150 patients clinically suspected of leptospirosis, 31 of whom were treated at the Lviv Oblast Clinical Hospital for Infectious Diseases (LOCHID). The application of PCR during the first seven days of the disease allowed increasing the share of confirmed leptospirosis cases by 16,1% in patients that were treated in LOCHID during 2016–2017.

Published: December 2020

An algorithmic approach based on the methods of adaptive intelligent technology for monitoring the state of objects of computer systems is considered. The approach is focused on detecting changes in the state of controlled resources of autonomous information and measurement systems: communication channel, processor, memory, and battery. An adaptive model is presented using a Bayesian classifier for estimating changes in the state of resources of autonomous information and measurement systems. The model is based on a probabilistic automaton with adaptive self-tuning. The paper describes an approach that allows increasing the duration of continuous operation of the system for monitoring environmental parameters. This approach is based on adaptive correction of primary meter readings in the event of a decrease in their accuracy due to degradation failures.

Особливості персонального конструювання мережі соціальної підтримки в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19
Authors: Larina Tetiana
Published: December 2020

Метою статті є визначення специфіки конструювання соціальної підтримки в системі міжособистісного спілкування в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.

Для вирішення дослідницьких завдань було застосовано метод моделювання комунікативних світів (ММКС), запропонований В. Кабріним. На його основі розроблено емпіричні показники конструювання саногенного комунікативного простору особистості в умовах пандемії та створено опитувальник визначення динамічних та психосемантичних характеристик комунікативно-ментального світу особистості в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.

Алгоритм обробки результатів дослідження полягав у виявленні провідних тенденцій щодо вектора переживань опитуваних (невербальні показники комунікативного стресу) та подальшому контент-аналізі вербальних показників комунікативного простору. Отримані результати дослідження показали, що позитивні і негативні переживання респондентів під час карантину є досить врівноваженими.

Це може свідчити про загалом задовільну стійкість до комунікативного стресу та керованість комунікативними ризиками.

Стійкість до комунікативному стресу може бути зумовлена необхідністю опановувати нові форми праці, навчання, організації дозвілля та саморозвитку

. Зануреність у саморозвиток та опанування дистанційних форм праці й навчання може також давати особистості час, необхідний для рефлексії та вироблення критичного ставлення до таких ризкогенних тем, як втрата здоров’я, страхи щодо пандемії, карантинні обмеження та фінансові проблеми. Визначено мережу соціальної підтримки, найближче коло підтримки досліджуваних: діти, партнери і подружжя, друзі та приятелі.

Висловлено думку, що друзі та приятелі виконують об’єднувальну роль, поєднуючи мікро- і макроструктури міжособистісних відносин у складних життєвих ситуаціях.

Встановлено, що онлайн-простір сприймається респондентами як певна «реальна локація» для організації міжособистісного спілкування.

До обмежень дослідження можна віднести те, що переважна частина вибірки складалася з працівників освіти (29,8%) та психологів (28%), які є представниками допомагальних професій. (Отже, отримані результати відображають тенденції конструювання мережі соціальної підтримки в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19 саме серед представників зазначених професій).

Як напрям подальших досліджень виокремлено вивчення значущості впливу професійної діяльності на особливості конструювання комунікативного простору в умовах пандемії коронавірусу COVID-19.

Este presente artigo propõe analisar a evasão dos jovens frente às ações do conselho escolar e para isto realizamos um estudo de caso em uma escola da rede municipal do Recife. O conselho escolar como um instrumento de gestão democrática, faz parte do coletivo da instituição de ensino, vivenciando várias situações, inclusive a evasão dos jovens. Esse órgão colegiado é composto por membros de todos os segmentos da escola, sendo seus encaminhamentos reflexos de decisões coletivas. A pesquisa se utilizou da abordagem qualitativa, a coleta de dados foram através de observações na rotina e entrevista semiestruturada com representantes do colegiado e da comunidade escolar. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2004). O resultado apontou que o conselho escolar possui sua funcionabilidade fragilizada, pois falta um maior engajamento dos seus membros, principalmente no que se refere às tomadas de decisões coletivamente, que visem priorizar o que é essencial ao bom andamento da escola.

The Hill and the Asphalt: A 50-year perspective on informality in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Perlman Janice
Published: December 2020

This article argues that informality is essential to urban vitality and that the ability of the formal sector to function depends upon the labour, consumer strength, social resilience, and intellectual capital of the people considered marginal. Based on the author’s 50 years of original fieldwork in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, she takes exception to the much-touted goal of ‘Cities without Slums’, contending that cities without slums are cities without soul. What should be eradicated is not informality, but poverty, inequality, and exclusion. Her research findings reveal what has changed in the case of Rio’s favelas, by following hundreds of families over four generations. She chronicles the evolution of favela policy from hostile to hopeful and back again – with the return of favela removal and the sabotaging of promising upgrading, public safety, and social projects. The result of policies over the last 20 years has been to increase spatial and socio-economic segregation, which in turn, has increased lethal violence. This trend has made vulnerability a chronic condition in informal communities in the south and precarious neighbourhoods in the north, eroding a sense of security and of self. The chapter concludes with the provocation to go beyond territorial place-based thinking to poverty-based remediation and rights-based approaches including the right to the city and the universal right to dignity for all.
Psicanálise e educação: a transferência na educação infantil
Authors: SOUZA MARCOS ROGÉRIO DOS SANTOS , De Oliveira Carla
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo objetiva analisar o conceito de Transferência na educação infantil e na prática docente, sendo que, foi utilizada revisão bibliográfica como suporte teórico. A partir desta análise, propomos uma reflexão acerca da formação dos profissionais da educação no quadro da educação brasileira, pensando-se sobre as garantias constitucionais e as leis que regulamentam e que determinam a obrigatoriedade de oferta deste nível de ensino pelos agentes públicos. Com base na literatura pesquisada, propõe-se considerar a psicanálise como o alicerce que dará sustentação sobre a compreensão do funcionamento psíquico, psicossexual do sujeito, as relações objetivas e subjetivas entre aluno e professor resultando uma melhora na prática docente e a ressignificação da aprendizagem. É dentro desse viés teórico que se apresenta os conceitos psicanalíticos para a compreensão do desenvolvimento da criança e da prática docente, apresenta-se também a análise do conceito de transferência como mecanismo que favorece o desejo de ensinar e aprender na educação infantil.

It is a development research. The subjects in this study are 30 students in grade IV1 and IV2 at Percobaan state primary school Medan and the object in this study is a learning device in the form of local history-based teaching materials using scientific learning. The data collection instruments used consisted of test results and student interest in learning questionnaires. The results show that: (1) the student's response to the components and learning activities using learning tools oriented to the scientific learning model.  They have reached the specified criteria, namely the response using learning tools is positive and (2) the effectiveness of the learning tools developed using the learning model, it can be seen that the  obtained score is 86.67% viewed from the minimum moderate learning outcomes. It has exceeded the predetermined tolerance limit, which is at least 85% in moderate criteria.

El trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar el diámetro de colonia con su halo celulolítico de las bacterias termófilas GCB-13 y GCC-13 a diferentes temperaturas. Las bacterias fueron reactivadas en caldo CMC e incubadas a 50 °C por 48h, luego sembradas por puntura en el medio agar CMC contenido en placas Petri por triplicado para cada temperatura a la que fue incubado (35, 40, 45, 50, 55 y 60 °C) durante 48 horas. El diámetro de las colonias con sus halos celulolíticos se obtuvo con ayuda de una regla milimetrada. El halo de hidrólisis fue obtenido restando el diámetro de la  colonia del diámetro de la colonia con halo celulolítico. Los diámetros máximos (mm) obtenidos de colonia y de halo celulolítico, respectivamente, fueron para la bacteria GCB-13 9,17 a 45°C y 6,42 a 55°C, y para la bacteria GCC-13 10,33 a 45 °C y 7,33 a 50 °C.

El presente estudio tuvo como principal objetivo comparar dos técnicas estadísticas de pronóstico  en el modelamiento del caudal máximo del río Huaura. La investigación fue de tipo aplicada y longitudinal porque se estudió el comportamiento de los caudales máximos del río Huaura a través del tiempo. Para cumplir con el objetivo se modeló la serie hidrológica mediante modelos ARIMA, donde 611 meses (90 %) de los datos se usó para ajuste del modelo y 68 meses (10 %), para  el pronóstico; y mediante redes neuronales artificiales autorregresivas (ARNN), donde 407 meses (60 %) de los datos se usó para entrenamiento, 204 meses (30 %), para prueba y 68 meses  (10 %), para reserva del modelo. Finalmente se encontró que el modelo ARNN es más eficiente que los modelos ARIMA para realizar pronósticos.
The Profile of Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Bacteria in the Rectum of Patients Undergoing Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy, Its Relation to Post-Biopsy Infection and Alternative Prophylactic Antibiotics
Authors: Loho Tonny , Hamid Agus Rizal A. H. , Umbas Rainy , Mahanani Na'imatul
Published: December 2020

Background: Fluoroquinolone has been routinely given as a prophylactic antibiotic to patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. Currently, there is no data on the profile of fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria, its association with post-biopsy sepsis, and alternative prophylactic antibiotics.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in patients undergoing TRUS-guided prostate biopsy at Urology Clinic, Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital between August and December 2015. Specimens were taken from rectal swabs prior to biopsy. Gramnegative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci were characterized on the Vitek®2 using GN and GP cards (BioMérieux, USA). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Post-biopsy infection was monitored within one week after biopsy by telephone call and diagnosed by clinical examination.Results: A total of 52 patients aged 52-80 years were enrolled. Sixty-six isolates grew from 52 swabs; 14 swabs among them grew 2 isolates. The commonest pathogen was Escherichia coli (78.8%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.0%), Acinetobacter haemolyticus, Morganella morganii subsp. morganii, and Enterococcus faecalis (1.5%), respectively. Ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria were found in 33 (50.0%) isolates which were predominated by E. coli. Meanwhile, 90.4% and 96.2% of isolates were sensitive to amoxicillinclavulanate and ampicillin-sulbactam, respectively. Post-biopsy infection was established in 7 patients requiring no hospitalization.Conclusions: The proportion of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria in the rectum among patients undergoing prostate biopsy was 50.0%. Escherichia coli is the commonest resistant pathogen to fluoroquinolone. The recommended alternatives for prophylactic antibiotics are amoxicillinclavulanate and ampicillin-sulbactam. Routine pre-biopsy rectal swab cultures should also be encouraged.
DIPLOMATS OF UNR AND ZUNR AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE
Authors: TYMCHENKO Roman
Published: December 2020

In January 1919, the Paris Peace Conference began for the establishment of the world post-war order and solution of territorial conflicts and new national borders. Ukrainians, having proclaimed an independent state, hoped for the legal recognition. The negative attitude of the Entente states to Ukraine aggravated this situation, as well as the retreat of the UNR and ZUNR armies under the pressure of Bolshevik on the east and Polish troops on the west, that were not allies. These states wanted to establish their political domination on the Ukrainian lands.

The necessity of the international recognition of the Ukrainian state had required the leadership of the UNR and ZUNR to pursue a common foreign policy. The Ukrainian delegation arrived in Paris very late and without an official invitation. The author determined that united Ukraine was represented by diplomats of different political orientations whose professional background did not suit the level of the tasks of the Peace Conference. A large number of members of the delegation have complicated the situation of Ukrainians at the conference because of different political and ideological positions.

The case of Western Ukraine was on the agenda almost all the time, and united Ukraine was mentioned only sporadically. Therefore, the Galicians, hoping for the implementation of the principles of the Woodrow Wilson points, tried to act separately from the joint Ukrainian delegation. They issued their own papers and appeals, which often contradicted the statements of the joint Ukrainian mission. Eventually, the internal confrontation led to a split of the joint Ukrainian delegation, and in December 1919, Galician representatives Vasyl Paneiko and Stepan Tomashivsky dismissed from the joint delegation.

As a result, the delegation did not fulfill the task: The Entente had never recognized the sovereignty of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. The pessimistic attitude towards the Ukrainians of the Entente states, the domestic split of the Parisian delegation, and the inability to clearly represent “the Ukrainian issue” did not bring the success. Despite this, Ukrainians denied part of Entente’s stereotypes and were able to outline some issues, especially concerning Eastern Galicia.

Vovchukhiv operation of the Ukrainian halychyna’s army (1919): background, progress, aftermath
Authors: MARCHENKO Yaroslav
Published: December 2020

The formation of the West Ukrainian People's Republic in November 1918, was a natural consequence of the long-standing struggle of Ukrainians of Halychyna for statehood. In a difficult situation of the Ukrainian-Polish war 1918–1919, started by Poland, the West Ukrainian People's Republic carried out state and military formation. Close relations with the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR) were established; the Ukrainian Halychyna's Army (UHA) was reorganized on the European way and was ready for the West Ukrainian People's Republic armed defense. It was proved that compared to the Polish state, the military potential of the Ukrainians was much weaker. However, a bright demonstration of the UHA's combat readiness was the Vovchukhiv Strategic Offensive Operation in February–March 1919, which put the Polish troops in Lviv, in particular, and in Halychyna, in general in a tough situation.

The main purpose of this article is to analyze the background of the Vovchukhiv operation, its course, and the causes of UHA's defeat. The author states that two factors caused the UHA's offensive strategic operation in February 1919. Firstly, the reorganization of the West Ukrainian People's Republic armed forces with weighty strengthening increased their combat capability and readiness for offensive operations. Also, the hard work of governing structures increased morale and combat capabilities of the army. The military successes of the Ukrainian troops, which caused worry and panic in Warsaw, are described. It is noted that the break in the fightings, organized by the Entente mission, was successfully used by the Polish command to reinforcement on the Halychyna Front with reserves from abroad. Specific examples show that in spring 1919, UHA brigades were forced to resist the numerically larger Polish forces. Because of this, they soon lost the results of the offensive operation.
