3D deployment of UAVs in wireless networks for traffic offloading and edge computing
Authors:   , Islambouli Rania
Published: November 2020

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently emerged as enablers for mul- titude use cases in 5G networks leading to interesting industrial and business applications. 5G networks envision a multi-service network promoting various applications with a distinct set of performance and service demands. In this the- sis, we leverage the high exibility, low-cost, and mobility of UAVs to scale up and improve the e ciency of IoT and mobile networks. We study the utilization of UAVs to increase the capacity and coverage in wireless networks on one side and to extend low computational capabilities and mitigate battery limitations in constrained devices on another side. However, to unlock these promising use cases of UAVs, we address the challenges coupled with UAV utilization mainly 3D deployment and device association. First, we address the problem of deploying multiple UAVs to act as aerial base stations (ABS) in 3D space while autonomously adapting their positions as users move around within the network. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer program and then propose a novel autonomous positioning approach that can e ciently gear the UAV positions in a way to maintain target quality re- quirements. Next, we leverage the mobility and agility of UAVs and use them as mo- bile edge servers or cloudlets to o er computation o oading opportunities to IoT devices. This being said, computation tasks generated by IoT devices can be pro- cessed in less latency and with much lower energy consumption at the devices. To optimally deploy UAVs as mounted cloudlets, we formulate our problem as mixed integer program and then use an e cient meta-heuristic algorithm to generate optimized results for large scale IoT networks. The simulation results presented in this thesis demonstrate the e ectiveness of the proposed solutions and algo- rithms compared to the optimal solutions and related work in the literature for various network scenario
The intellectual scales of environment: Agricultural pests and public sphere in 19th century Portugal
Authors: Pires Leonardo Aboim
Published: November 2020

Studies and research on biological invasions have acquired increasing attention in environmental history. However, the acknowledgement of certain specific cultural markers –such as the press– has been hitherto limited in such works. In light of this, this paper seeks to evaluate the importance of regional Portuguese newspapers in studying plant pests and agricultural diseases through a substantial corpus of publications produced between the 1850s and 1910s. This article looks at three newspapers Jornal de Penafiel (1890-1914), the Damião de Goes (1886-1914) and the O Elvense (1880-1904) in order to establish the informative potential gleaned from these types of sources in different regions in the north, centre and south Portugal respectively.
The results highlight the importance of vine diseases (phylloxera, mildium, oidium) in the examined journalistic narratives. Nevertheless, other pests (potato blight, chestnut blight, brown rot) or bioinvaders (locust) were also important parts of these discourses. The results of this research reveals just how closely directed periodical press and diffusion of technical knowledge were in the strategies and attitudes against agricultural pests, showing that science was incorporated into the relationship between State and the rural communities.
Color Continuum of the Story “The Golden Rose” by K.G. Paustovsky
Authors:   Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, Grodno, 230023 Republic of Belarus, Sivova T.V.
Published: November 2020

A fragment of K.G. Paustovsky’s coloristic world view was reconstructed, which is of certain interest due to the importance of color in his works and in the light of anthropocentrism that prevails in modern linguistics. It was revealed that the color space of the story “The Golden Rose” (‘Zolotaya roza’), within the field model with zones based on both quantitative and qualitative features, is characterized by numerous color terms (for example, the field core includes 40 color terms). The color dominants of the story (black, white, yellow, and green) demonstrate the specificity of K.G. Paustovsky’s style with regard to color perception, as well as the primacy of national coloristic pattern over the individual one. The zonation of color terms shows K.G. Paustovsky’s space visualization, in which the transition occurs from the information component to the figurative one, as well as from color to light. The interrelation of color-light and space-time characteristics creates a unique color chronotope of the story “The Golden Rose”. Therefore, the identified features of K.G. Paustovsky’s color perception cast light upon his idiostyle. The results of the analysis confirm that the coloristic component played a key role in his linguistic world view.

This paper refers to the ideas of cognitive dialectology and studies the somatic cultural pattern in the dialect world view of the Kuban subdialect speakers. Idiographic presentation of phraseological units with a somatic component and detection of benchmark areas, which are interpreted by the Kuban subdialect speakers as having an anatomic focus on their body, revealed the cognitive specific character of somatisms in the Kuban phraseological units and paroemias. The obtained results prove the high level of corporeality in the world view of Kuban people. The word-building productivity of somatic vocabulary and its ability to form metaphors were demonstrated. The analysis of a whole variety of examples confirmed that the main functions of certain body parts often serve as the basis for representational apprehension of situations. The abstract reinterpretation of somatism makes it acquire a symbolic function instead of a nominative one. Specific cases illustrate certain constitutive characteristics of the dialect as a gnoseological and cultural phenomenon: pessimism, as well as parceling of cognitive objects, which are conceptualized in the dialect world view due to their importance to village residents. The most important result obtained is the detection of nation-wide and highly localized features in the implementation of the somatic code of the dialect world view of the Kuban subdialect speakers. The dialect features at the level of inner form of phraseological units were considered. Using phraseological units and paroemias, the view of the Kuban subdialect speakers on the linguistic situation in the region and the subethnical perception of Kuban Cossacks’ military routine were discussed.
Evaluative Vocabulary as a Method for Quality Presentation in Advertising of Children’s Products
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Samara, 443086 Russia, Vazhdaeva E.A.
Published: November 2020

The functioning of lexemes with evaluative semantics in the texts of advertising of products for children aged from 0 to 3 years was analyzed. The study is highly relevant, because the evaluative vocabulary of advertising has been poorly studied. We identified the most typical evaluative lexemes of different parts of speech and their types indicating the quality of the advertised product. The relations between the product group and the evaluative semantics of lexemes were considered. The following main methods were used during the study: continuous sampling, content analysis, description, and comparison. A number of examples were provided to prove that evaluative vocabulary is successfully used in advertising texts to present the product quality. The highest frequency of use in the texts of children products’ advertising was found for nouns of general value with diminutive suffixes, adjectives, and adverbs that characterize both the product and its consumer. Lexemes with the semantics of special value, which expresses the brand and consumer values, as well as related to the sense, taste, and tactile perception were also common. Lexemes with such semes as smell, weight, and visual perception were rarely used. Lexemes with the normative and teleological evaluative components were specific. The results obtained are important for the theory and practice of advertising communication and can be used to successfully design new and effective advertising.
Phonetic Correlations of the Russian and Slovak Languages: Vocalism
Authors:   Dagestan State University, Makhachala, 367000 Russia, Magomedova T.I.
Published: November 2020

The correlation analysis of vocal systems of the Russian and Slovak languages, in which phonological spaces are determined by the number and set of phoneme-forming differential characteristics of vowels, was performed. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the conscious assimilation of the Russian and Slovak languages is favorable at all levels of the language systems because of their kinship and proximity. However, even in this case, there are difficulties leading to active interference, especially at the phonetic level. For the first time, a correlation description of the phonemes composition of the Russian and Slovak vowels was carried out. It is correlative linguistics that has some advantages in terms of solving the practical problems of comparative linguistics. The study was performed in order to update the phonetic similarities in a closely related language environment, where the fact of kinship of languages often leads to the fact that the learner pays attention only to similarities, thereby ignoring differences in the similarities themselves. The terms of correlative linguistics were used: antecedent, correlate, and correspondence. As a result of the study, the following findings were made: five relatively complete correspondences with common phoneme-forming signs, five partial matches stating the absence of certain properties characteristic of the phoneme of the correlate, six zero matches indicating the presence of an antecedent sign, which is not typical for the phonetic system of the correlate and vice versa. It was revealed that the index of the degree of vocalism conformity in the Russian and Slovak languages is 0.25.
Arabic and Roman Numbers as Part of Chinese Semiotic System
Authors:   Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod, 603155 Russia, Bankova L.L.
Published: November 2020

The role of Roman and Arabic numbers in the Chinese semiotic system was analyzed. It was found that the use of Roman numbers in the Chinese language is extremely restricted: they only occur in official documents executed in accordance with the Western traditions and in some educational editions, which is due to the fact that the functions of Roman numerals are commonly carried out by the Chinese characters belonging to the traditional Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches sets. On the contrary, Arabic numbers are widespread. They originated in India and penetrated into China at the third attempt in the early 20th century. The failures of the first two attempts are explained by such fundamental differences of the Chinese writing system from the Western one as the direction of the text (down from the top and right to left) and the multiplicity of writing. With the Chinese language reforms, Arabic numbers were introduced in Mandarin. Having penetrated into the Chinese semiotic system, Arabic numbers became so widespread that a state standard was produced to regulate their co-existence with the traditional Chinese characters of numbers. Besides, Arabic numbers have acquired another important function in the Mandarin semiotic system over the last twenty years: they replace characters in the sphere of Internet and mobile-phone interaction. However, in contrast to other numbers in Mandarin, Arabic numbers, as mathematical signs, are devoid of the status of lexical units. Therefore, despite their extensive use, the functions of Arabic numbers in Mandarin are strictly limited.
Language Policy in Education and Its Role in Preservation of Minority Languages in Russia and Other Countries
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 125009 Russia, Khilkhanova E.V.
Published: November 2020

The language policy in education and the role of education in the preservation and development of minority languages were discussed. The main approaches and models used for teaching minority languages in Russian and Western European schools were compared. Two main approaches were singled out: “old”, when minority languages are poorly represented in education; “new”, which provides an opportunity to learn these languages in schools. The approaches were illustrated by the example of the Frisian and Basque languages, respectively. The problems of teaching minority languages in Russian schools within a broad political context were considered. It was concluded that the positions of minority languages in education are weak due to their little value for careers and social mobility in the current Russian conditions. The possibility and necessity of taking certain educational measures for preservation and development of minority languages in Russia was substantiated. Their complex nature, including both innovations in the education system and the need to overcome the “monolingual ideology”, was emphasized. The recommendations proposed include the use of international experience in organizing civic initiatives and the introduction of new methods and innovative curricula of bilingual education. The most important measures are related to changing the mass consciousness and language culture of society toward identification of Russia as a multinational and multilingual country.
Transformation of the Semantics of Linguistic Units in the Text: A Functional Approach
Authors:   Crimean Republican Pedagogical Post-Diploma Training Institute, Simferopol, 295001 Russia, Dorofeev Yu.V.
Published: November 2020

Transformations of the semantics of language units in a literary text were studied. Semantic shifts resulting from this process were correlated with individual author’s ideas about the world and were defined as the most important means of influencing the reader. The research was carried out on the basis of a functional approach, in which the text is considered as a tool of social interaction, the structure of which is subordinated to the main task of the author, i.e., to have a certain impact on the reader’s view of the world. As a result of the analysis of the empirical material, it was concluded that the perception and understanding of the text are largely determined by the skills that enable identification of the core component in the text, which unites the most significant language units in the text based on their correlation in the initial and final parts of the work. Specific examples were given to show the role of semantic transformations in the process of text perception and their importance for interpretation. The research confirms the relevance of the problem of studying the functional mechanism of semantic transformations, because the consistent implementation of the functional methods of perception and interpretation of the text in educational practice will be helpful in developing teaching methods that prevent distortion of information extracted from texts.

Authors:   Crimean Republican Pedagogical Post-Diploma Training Institute, Simferopol, 295001 Russia, Rudyakov A.N.
Published: November 2020

The theoretical and applied aspects of linguistics associated with the use of the functional approach were studied. The analysis of the interrelated problems of the formation and development of functional literacy, reading literacy, as well as perception and understanding of the text was carried out taking into account the principles of studying and describing linguistic phenomena outlined in the earlier own publications. The text was described as a major object of Russian philology at the present stage and as an instrument of social interaction, which is structurally determined by its function. The obtained results confirm the relevance of the problem of studying the patterns of perception and understanding the text as an integral object rather than a source of linguistic units of different tiers. The functional definition of the text was introduced, thereby making it possible to supplement the educational practice with a methodology of work that takes into account the need to develop students’ skills and abilities associated with the conscious and systematic extraction of information from texts of various kinds and the use of this information in their activities.

In this paper, combination of the Q-bit evolutionary search - quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm and binary bit evolutionary search - genetic particle swarm optimization (GPSO) has been done to solve the reactive power problem & termed as Improved Quantum Algorithm (IQA). Proposed IQA can be viewed as a kind of hybridization of micro-space based search and macro-space based search, which augments the penetrating behavior to augment and balance the exploration and exploitation aptitudes in the whole searching space. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed IQA algorithm, it has been tested on IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other standard algorithms.
REAL POWER LOSS MINIMIZATION AND MAXIMIZATION OF STATIC VOLTAGE STABILITY MARGIN BY HYBRIDIZED ALGORITHM
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: November 2020

This paper presents a new Hybridized Algorithm (HA) for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem. Inspired by Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) & the Bat Algorithm (BA), the HA was designed to retain some advantages of each method to improve the exploration and exploitation of the search. Scrutinizing PSO and BA reveals some differences, in that BA rejects the historical experience of each individual’s own position but admits an improved personal solution with some probability. We will adjust some of the updating mechanisms of BA and add a mutation method in order to try to solve reactive power problem more accurately. Proposed (HA) algorithm has been tested on standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results shows clearly about the good performance of the proposed algorithm.

Published: November 2020

On the background of intensive development of world trade in agricultural products and foodstuffs,Belarusis increasingly entering the system of international division of labor, occupying a fairly significant place in the world ranking of the leading countries. In turn, it stimulates the domestic agricultural industry to develop in the dynamic rhythm of the world market and constantly adapt to evolution of the international trading system. Participation of the republic in regional integration communities, such as the Eurasian Economic Union and theUnionStateofBelarusandRussia, is one of the areas for achieving sustainable development of AIC. In this regard, the issues of studying the conditions and factors of efficient integration of AIC into the global food trade system acquire particular relevance. The paper highlights the major conditions for functioning of the global food system over the shorter and longer term. It has been substantiated that sustainability of integration ofBelarusinto the global food market was determined by the following factors: stability of international competitiveness of Belarusian foodstuff, export specialization in products of animal origin, significant part of trade with theRussian Federation, favorable conditions for development of agricultural business, etc. Advantages of large-scale production and the role of large integrated agricultural holdings in formation of Belarusian transnational corporations of agrarian profile have been reflected, the main forms of efficient interaction in AIC have been considered.

There were, however, such poor cattleperformance was still found on the arrival port, which was claimed as related to the poor managementand less competence of working personnel on board, one of those was kleder. This study was aimed atanalyzing the strategy for increasing Human Resource competency in the Camara Nusantara LivestockShip. Method used in this study was observations on target location, documentation, literature review,and depth interviews with target respondents in the respective locations, qualitative analysis approachwas applied for data analysis. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with five levels were used to analyzedata obtained from the study. The results indicate that the main strategies for increasing the competencyof human resource in the Camara Nusantara Livestock Ship was started with development of competencystandardization with a weight of 0.361. Development of competency standards for kleder is required toprovide a guidelines for improving kleder’s skills and knowledge in managing and handling livestockat Camara Nusantara Livestock Ship. It can be concluded that to optimize kleder competency who areworking at Camara Nusantara Cattle Ship may help to maintain cattle performance during the sea tolltransportation. Therefore, developing a national job competency standard, so called SKKNI (StandarKompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia) is needed as guidance to formulate relevant training programsfor human resource development.

Cattle was introduced in Papua a long time ago. However, it was unpredictable to adapt to raise cattle.An explorative field study was performed in fifteen villages using participatory research to betterunderstand the dynamics of cattle performances. Cattle farming system has been categorized in threetypes, i.e. small- and medium-sized systems. They used ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis to analyze data. Thefinding of this research was that the three sizes of cattle farming in many components of good farmingpractices were similar (p>0.05). No large gap was found along the lines of farmers, cattle, and economicperformance. West New Guinea’s Tropical Livestock Unit was low and has the potential to increase dueto agribusiness potential. Better government services and other related stakeholders should narrow thelack of good agricultural practices.

This study aims to find an overview of the bank credit restructuring policy and the realization of the fair value of the government policy. The stimulus provided was in the form of restructuring bank credit due to the spread of Covid-19. The research method used is a normative juridical research method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. This study uses secondary legal data in the form of primary legal materials, namely POJK No. 11 / POJK.03 / 2020, and secondary legal materials, namely books, journals, and other literature related to research problems. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the credit restructuring policy is an attempt by the government to provide legal protection for bank debtors who cannot fulfill their obligations to banks due to the spread of Covid-19. The realization of the value of justice in this credit restructuring policy is felt by all parties, the bank, and especially the debtor. The existence of a bank credit restructuring policy guarantees legal certainty to provide a sense of justice for debtors affected by Covid-19.

So that Indonesia should make (Lootbox) regulation even though the regulation is unspecified in KUHP and Bill of Act on Electronic Information and Transaction that can make consumers protection is more guaranteed.
Vidracco, Braone, and San Lorenzo. Recruitment or dilectio?
Authors: Fischer Svante , Wood Ian N.
Published: November 2020

This paper is a study of three solidus hoards located at strategic passages through the Italian Alps. It is argued that the hoards are connected to barbarian mercenaries in Roman service. The hoards are analysed and compared to historical sources and solidus hoards from Scandinavia. It is argued that it may be possible to distinguish between hoards that contain solidi used to pay for barbarian recruits and hoards that are proof of dilectio, bonus payments. In the latter case, it is argued that freshly minted solidi from northern Italy are more likely to represent dilectio than older and imported coins.

La llegada de la imprenta al occidente mexicano significó un gran reto. La capital de la nueva República acaparaba y centralizaba la producción de libros, periódicos y la enseñanza de las artes gráficas, pero las élites regionales requerían de sus propias herramientas: había ideas que difundir a otros públicos y lectores más allá de la capital. Este trabajo lo realizaron liberales convencidos de los beneficios de la impresión de las ideas y del uso de las imágenes para llegar a un público nuevo, lector o no, deseoso de nuevos conocimientos que contribuyeran al crecimiento económico de un nuevo país, idealmente libre e ilustrado. Así, en Aguascalientes, José María Chávez fundó la primera familia de impresores y con ella, una dinastía de impresores mexicanos que trascendió el siglo XIX.

This research aims to study the relationship between parallel processing efficiency and several nodes on a single board cluster using a mathematical model, approximating least squares. This research tested on the Raspberry Pi single-board in the form of a high-performance computing system. It divided the tasks that need to be processed in each particular part and sent it to each unit to process simultaneously via the MPI (Messaging Passing Interface). This process is the standard division of work with communication between processors in the form of messages on the cluster system. It consists of eight nodes of Raspberry Pi. It measures the instruction set's ability to perform decimal operations per second or Floating-point Operation Per Second (FLOPS) with High-Performance Linpack Benchmarks (HPL). As a result, the efficiency of the ability to process instruction set in decimal per second increases the performance continuously when increasing the number of the node on the cluster. Which corresponds to the mathematical model obtained f(x) = 1.0684x^(0.8256).It shows a relationship between parallel processing performance values and the number of nodes on the cluster and can be estimated with the mathematical model above.

The content of products of lipoperoxidation and oxidative modification of proteins in rat blood plasma under the action of quercetin and histamine was investigated. Quercetin was used at concentrations of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1; 3; 5 mm, and histoma - 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10 μm. It was found that quercetin in the blood plasma of rats causes a slight increase in the content of hydroperoxides and TBA-positive products, except the concentration of 0.5 mm, at which the content of secondary products is reduced and the content of primary remains within the control. Histamine at concentrations of 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10 µM leads to an increase in the content of hydroperoxides and a decrease in the number of TBK-positive products. The combined effect of histamine and quercetin causes a significant increase in primary lipoperoxidation products, whereas TBK-positive lipid peroxidation products decrease. Quercetin in the concentration range of 0.1÷1 mM intensifies the accumulation of carbonyl groups of proteins of basic and neutral nature, while flavonoid at concentrations of 3.5 mM – slows down. Histamine at all tested concentrations leads to an increase in the content of carbonyl groups of proteins, except the concentration of 0.1 μm. Against the background of high concentration histamine, quercetin reduces the intensity of oxidative modification of proteins. The simultaneous action of low concentration histamine and quercetin at a concentration of 0.5 and 5 mm leads to the accumulation of carbonyl groups of proteins of a neutral nature, as well as to the main only when exposed to quercetin at a concentration of 5 mm. According to the analysis of variance, it was found that quercetin has a maximum effect on the accumulation of TBA-positive products and carbonyl groups of proteins of basic character. Histamine is strongly influenced by the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Quercetin at concentrations of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1; 3 mm determines between the indices of free radical processes under study, in the blood plasma of rats, a strong interconnectedness, and a bioflavonoid at a concentration of 5 mm leads to the formation of interconnections of average strength. Histamine at concentrations of 10; 1; 0.1 µM causes a close correlation of the mean strength between the individual indices of free radical oxidation. Histamine at a concentration of 0.01 μm causes a significant increase in the correlation between the parameters of sex and oxidative modification of proteins. The combined effect of quercetin at a concentration of 0.1 mm and histamine at a concentration of 0.01 μm causes a change in the nature of the correlation dependence, which becomes strong between most of the studied parameters.

The study was aimed at investigating the effect of traffic load on the accumulation of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) by moss gametophytes (Brachythecium rutabulum and Pylaisia polyantha) and aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor in the territory of the city of Lviv (Ukraine). In the course of the study, five sites were selected: site 1 in the territory of the Stryiskyi Park, which was used as a control one, and sites 2–5, in which the traffic intensity was analyzed and plant samples were collected. Sites 2 and 3 were selected in the middle and end parts of Stryiska Street, respectively, site 4 was located near the junction of Lychakivska and Pasichna streets, and site 5 was chosen in the immediate vicinity of Khortytska Street. Gametophytes of mosses B. rutabulum and P. polyantha were collected at sites 1–4 and analyzed for metals content; two ponds were selected at sites 2 and 5, respectively, and metal concentrations were analyzed in water and in the samples of L. minor. Me­tal concentrations were determined using a Selmi C-115PK atomic absorption spectrometer. According to observations, the daily traffic intensity at sites 2–4 was high; at the same time, site 5 was characterized by low traffic intensity. It was found that at sites 2–4 with heavy vehicular traffic, the accumulation levels of Mn, Pb, and Zn in gametophytes of both species of mosses and Cu in gametophyte of B. rutabulum were significantly higher compared to the control site in Stryiskyi Park. Significantly higher concentrations of Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn were found in the water of the pond located at site 2 with a high level of transport load (the middle part of Stryiska Street) compared to the pond at site 5, where the level of transport load was negligible; samples of L. minor from this reservoir were characterized by a higher content of Cr, Fe, and Zn compared to the pond at site 5. Investigating the accumulation of metals in L. minor, the highest values of bioaccumulation factors were found for Mn, Fe, and Zn. The obtained results show the bioindication potential of the plants Brachythecium rutabulum, Pylaisia polyantha and Lemna minor, and suggest that these species can be used to assess environmental pollution by heavy metals in the urban ecosystem of Lviv and in other areas with high traffic density.

The article presents the study of leaf morphological features of Populus tremula L. Growing under the conditions of the influence emissions from Burshtynska TPP. The methods of linear morphometry were used to analyze the variability of the morphological parameters of leaves at high levels of pollutants. In the zone of influence of the industrial object there is a significant decrease in the foliar parameters. Uneven variability of morphological parameters between the study plots of industrial pollution and with minimized technogenic load are revealed. Levels of variability of morphological parameters are estimated using coefficient of variation, which for most of the analyzed morphological features at the polluted plot load is characterized by high and average values. The most varied ones were the distance between the first and second veins and the length of the second vein from the base of the leaf vein. For bioindication of anthropogenic load, an index of fluctuating asymmetry of P. tremul leaf blades has been tested. The analysis of the fluctuating asymmetry was based on leaf linear measurements and area of ​​ the halves of leaf blades. The results indicated an increase in fluctuating asymmetry index in plant growing at the polluted plot, both in linear measurements and in area indices. The comparison of the two approaches to the estimation of the level of fluctuating asymmetry has been carried out. As a result of this study, those foliar morphometric parameters of P. tremula, which exhibit high morphological reactivity under the influence of anthropogenic load, can be used as bioindicatory markers for assessing the state of the environment. A reliable indicator of technological pressure is the level of fluctuating asymmetry that can be recommended for use in bioindicative studies.

Published: November 2020

The publication presents status and distribution areas of Lanius collurio, L. minor and L. excubitor on the territory of the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine. By this time the status of L. excubitor and L. minor in Zakarpattia region not been determined. The publication presents a detailed literature review of the abundance, nature of the stay and distribution of these species of shrikes in the Zakarpattia region during the century. The analysis presents own data collected during the studies of the territory of the Zakarpattia lowland and the foothills of the inner edge of the Vyhorlat-Hutynskyi Range of the Ukrainian Carpathians for 1993–2000 and 2010–2018. As a result of the collected material, it was found that L. collurio is an ordinary and abundant species of any biotopes within the region, except for forest, wetland (water areas and wetlands) and settlements. L. minor and L. excubitor are rare nesting species for Zakarpattia, but within the limits of their habitats in the region they are usual. Both species are spread, mainly in the territory of lowland Zakarpattia. They also live in the oak and flood-plain forests of foothills Vygorlat-Hutynskyi Range. L. excubitor in Zakarpattia region is also wintering. This species flies into the flood-plain forests of mountainous areas of the region in winter. Both species choose for themselves the same or similar natural or transformed moist biotopes: 1) floodplain shrubs; 2) shrubs, poplar stands stands and edges of nemoral forests near water bodies – rivers, canals, reservoirs; 3) agrocenoses permeated with meliorative channels, with sparse fruit trees. The strategy for the conservation of these species should consist in preserving the biotopes that are important for their nesting and habitats: floodplain nemoral forests and shrubs within the RLP “Prytysiansky”, lower reaches of Latoritsa, Borzhava and Uzh rivers, as well as biotopes of melioration systems - Batarska and Berehivska - in the valley of the Tysa river. To do this, it is necessary to establish new nature-protected areas and units of the Emerald Network of Ukraine and to develop appropriate management plans for those protected areas, where these species are protected.
Coronavírus da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2) em Superfícies: persistência e medidas de prevenção – uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Carvalho Wellington , Teixeira Lara Azevedo
Published: November 2020

Introdução: O SARS-CoV-2 representa uma ameaça à saúde pública e medidas preventivas dependem principalmente do entendimento das rotas de transmissão do vírus, de sua estabilidade ambiental e da persistência em superfícies. Objetivo: Verificar a persistência do SARS-CoV-2 em diferentes tipos de superfícies e as medidas de prevenção contra a transmissão do vírus. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática, utilizando como referência o método PRISMA. Foram utilizadas as bases de buscas PubMed e LILACS de janeiro a junho de 2020, com os descritores: “2019-nCOV” OR “SARS-CoV-2” OR “COVID-19” AND “transmission” OR “transmission route” AND “viability” AND “surface” OR “inanimate surface" AND “prevention”. Estudos envolvendo outras doenças e/ou patógenos foram excluídos. As informações extraídas foram autor/ano, país, tipo de publicação, nome da revista, idioma, país da publicação e base de dados. Resultados: Foram identificadas 178 publicações. Foram excluídos 164 artigos, nove por idioma, 12 por outras doenças e/ou patógenos e 143 pelo título e/ou resumo. Foram incluídos 14 artigos qualitativos, sendo duas revisões sistemáticas, oito artigos de revisões narrativas, uma comunicação breve, dois artigos originais e um editorial. Treze artigos foram publicados em inglês e um em português. Conclusões: Coronavírus humanos são capazes de manter-se em diferentes superfícies por duas horas ou até nove dias. Baixas temperaturas e reduzida umidade relativa do ar favorecem a sobrevivência do SARS-CoV-2, sendo mais estável em plásticos e aço inoxidável do que em cobre e papelão. A recomendação é frequente higienização de superfícies e mãos com água, sabão ou higienizadores à base de álcool. Estudos são essenciais para melhor entender a persistência do vírus em superfícies.

The Dissemination of Public Economics in Brazil at the Turn of the 20th Century: Rui Barbosa Between Law-Making and Policymaking.
Authors: Curi Luiz Felipe Bruzzi , Cunha Alexandre Mendes
Published: November 2020

Rui Barbosa was a renowned jurist who served as the first Finance Minister of the Brazilian Republic, established in 1889. Despite his renown as an intellectual, Barbosa faced a severe financial crisis during his ministerial tenure and gained a bad reputation for his economic policy. In the texts produced in this context, he combined different traditions of economic thought from the point of view of the legal expert serving as economic policymaker. In the field of public finance, while assimilating arguments associated to German state socialism and its North American developments, he was also influenced by French liberal economist Paul Leroy-Beaulieu. Through these international assimilations, Barbosa constructed an assemblage of economic ideas organized not by theoretical affiliations in the contemporary sense, but around two main goals: to rationalize and legitimize his policy as Finance Minister and to influence the legal ordering of the Brazilian fiscal economy.
