AN UNKNOWN POEM BY Ya. P. POLONSKY AS A «DEDICATION» TO K. N. LEONTIEV
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Fetisenko Ol’ga Leonidovna
Published: December 2022

The note is a postponed homage to the 200th anniversary of Ya. P. Polonsky, it introduces his unfinished poem into academic circulation. The poem was found in one of the poet’s workbooks, which are kept in the Pushkin House. The epigrammatic nature of the fi rst lines, the Byzantine theme and, most importantly, its location in the notebook next to the analysis of K. Leontiev’s article, suggest that the poem should be read as a dedication to the «Byzantine Russian».
«I NOW LIVE IN A VILLAGE, THE ONE THAT FULLY FITS THE DESCRIPTION BY THE UNFORGETTABLE KARAMZIN» (CONCERNING THE THEME OF THE RUSSIAN LANDOWNER IN THE WORKS BY N. V. GOGOL)
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of World Literature, Russian Academy of Sciences, Deriugina Liudmila Vladimirovna
Published: December 2022

The influence of the «rural» theme in N. M. Karamzin’s journalism (Letter of a Villager, 1803) on N. V. Gogol’s ratiocinations concerning the Russian landowner as a social type is usually analyzed in the context of the late stage of his career (Selected Places from Correspondence with Friends, 1847). The article attempts to use Gogol’s biographical data and correspondence to identify the earlier traces of this influence, as early as the beginning of the 1830s, presumably as a result of his meeting with I. I. Dmitriev in Moscow, on the way to the countryside in the summer of 1832.
THE SECOND AND THIRD VOLUMES OF THE DEAD SOULS: PLANS AND CONJECTURES
Authors:   A. M. Gorky Institute of Word Literature, Russian Academy of Sciences, Dmitrieva Ekaterina Evgen’evna ,   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the most «obscure» issues of the history of the second volume of the Dead Souls, burned thrice, but risen from the ashes, albeit in an earlier, discarded version, as well as with Gogol’s plan to keep on writing the poem in volume three. Based on the documentary data, the history of the rediscovered fi ve chapters of the second volume is reconstructed in detail. The memoirs of Gogol’s contemporaries, who had attended the reading of the completed chapters of the second volume, provide the grounds for the reconstruction of the storylines of the second volume and of the characters that didn’t make their appearance in the fi ve discovered chapters. A separate section is devoted to the problem of the third volume of the Dead Souls, in which the characters were to un-dergo a spiritual transformation, with the locus moving to Siberia where Chichikov, presumably, formed spiritual ties with the Old Believers — the hypothesis that is put forward in V. Sharov’s novel Return to Egypt.

Published: December 2022

The article deals with the public speeches delivered by K. D. Balmont in the early 1903, including his lecture The Calderonian Drama of Personality, and the refl ection of this event in a drawing preserved in the archive of M. A. Voloshin. Balmont’s speeches and lectures are analyzed as an explication of his creative stance that informed his literary contacts with his contemporaries.
HISTORICAL SPACE IN THE 18TH CENTURY SONGS ON THE NORTHERN WAR
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom), Russian Academy of Sciences, Ivanova Tat’iana Grigor’evna
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the historical songs that deal with the Northern War of 1700-21. It emphasizes that, even though the songs seem to rely on historical data, they tend to merge with the previous tradition. Historical songs as a folk genre give a clear understanding of how old and new toponyms denoting the same locus (Russia and Rus; the Baltic Sea and the Varangian (Verey) Sea; Kolyvan and Revel; Yuryev and Dorpat) manage to coexist within the same creative space.

SOCIOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY PICTUREBOOK: SINGLE MOTHERHOOD BY CHOICE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
Authors:   University of Cambridge, Sergeev Dmitrii
Published: December 2022

The paper focuses on the dependence between the emergence of single motherhood by choice as a social group and shifts in Anglophone children’s illustrated literature. I argue that this social group with a prominent social capital has impacted children’s picturebooks in English-speaking societies in many ways. First, choice mums need literature that could help them to discuss the structure of their family and principal concepts of single motherhood by choice. Second, children’s literature with such content allows monoparental families to become symbolically visible to other members of society and thereby strengthen their position. Single mothers by choice are determined to contribute with their own art individually or as a member of a larger network. Self-publishing industry and ubiquitous online consumption support both professional and amateur creativity which become available to a wide readership through internet online sellers. International publishing houses respond to the demand for diversity in children’s picture- books. Although, they are obviously profit-oriented and therefore publish picture books that simultaneously promote diversity and cover a wider number of book buyers.
CATALOGS OF THE PUBLISHING HOUSE OF MAURYCY WOLFF AS A SOURCE ON THE HISTORY OF CHILDREN’S BOOKS IN RUSSIA
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Romashina Ekaterina
Published: December 2022

Maurycy Wolff is one of the first Russian publishers who chose literature for children and youth as their “specialty”. The source base letting study of this aspect of his activity includes documents of the Joint Stock Publishing Company by M. Wolff (Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg); M.Wolf’s personal fund (Russian State Archive of Literature and Art); public anniversary reports for the 10th and 25th anniversary of the company; polemical articles and notes in periodicals; catalogs and bookstore invoices. The article focuses on the latter type of sources. The work provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Wolff’s catalogs from 1856 to 1897. The article reveals the dynamics of the number of publications for children; their number is correlated with other genres and types of literature. The main trends of Wolff’s publishing practices are identified. They involve his awareness of activities in the field of children’s literature as a special social mission; implementation of the practice of book classifications according to children’s age and levels of a child’s reading skills; publication of richly illustrated editions as a way of solving special aesthetic tasks: expanding of the content of the catalogs (detailed abstracts, quotations from works, expert opinions, etc.) to purposefully influence the tastes of the Russian public; perception of the catalog as a communication tool with various social strata of potential buyers (parents, heads of educational institutions, residents of capitals and provinces, wealthy and poor citizens, etc.).
ELIZAVETA RAZINA — SCHOOL TEACHER AND CHILDREN’S AUTHOR: IN SEARCH OF A PROFESSIONAL PATH
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkinskij Dom) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lemeshev Konstantin
Published: December 2022

This article examines the creative biography of Elizaveta Alexeevna Razina (1856–1915) on the basis of materials from the “autobiographical collection” of S. A. Vengerov at the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Central State Historical Archive in St. Petersburg, as well as other documents. An exploration of biographical facts, literary works, and textbooks makes it possible to see how two lines interact in Elizaveta Razina’s destiny and work: on the one hand, reflection on the heritage and life of her father, the famous children’s writer Alexej E. Razin, and on the other hand, her pedagogical activities. This article presents the results of the study of Elizaveta Razina’s professional path in the context of school education reforms and emerging opportunities for women educators. Children’s literature has become a focus for informal teachers’ communities and one of their activities, primarily in the form of a recommendatory bibliography. Elizaveta Razina took part in collective bibliographic reviews and in the compilation of a textbook for upper primary schools, but in her case, the desire to give children a really good book and the desire to be worthy of her father’s memory and to continue his work led to the emergence of a new children’s author.
THE PLOT EVOLUTION OF THE FAIRY TALE “SEVEN UNDERGROUND KINGS” BY ALEKSANDR VOLKOV IN 1963–1967
Authors:   The All-Russian Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Grigoryan Lev
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the work of Aleksandr Melentevich Volkov on the text of the fairy tale “Seven Underground Kings” (1967), which is part of the cycle of stories about the Emerald City (1939–1982). The author of the study, referring to the correspondence and diaries of Aleksandr Volkov, revealed that the fairy tale was created in close cooperation with the illustrator Leonid Viktorovich Vladimirsky, and shows how, under the influence of Vladimirsky, the author’s idea was transformed and the text of the work was remastered. An important factor that influenced the evolution of the fairy tale was the requirements of the publishing house “Soviet Russia”, where the manuscript was submitted. The first version of the manuscript was rejected, so Volkov radically revised the text, significantly changing the plot. Vladimirsky’s ideas and advice led to a change in the title of the book and influenced Volkov’s choice of a new storyline. The article compares different versions of the text, and traces the changes made to the manuscript. The author of the article hypothesizes that the reworking of the fairy tale’ text reflected new trends that gained strength in the Soviet children’s literature of the 1960s, including the humanization of values, de-ideologization, and a decrease of class antagonism.
“THE CONDUIT AND THE SHVAMBRANIA” BY LEV KASSIL: A HISTORY OF THE TEXT
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University, Loiter Sofia
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the structural and textual changes made by Lev Kassil in the reprinting of the story “Conduit and Shvambraniya”. The material for this study is the 1935 and 1937 editions of the story, two editions in 1957, and the last lifetime edition in 1965. An analysis of the published editions shows the formation of the story “The Conduit and Shvambrania” as a single novel, a single narrative and structural whole, which was not yet the case in the 1935 edition. The author reveals the changes made by Lev Kassil in later versions of the story and offers a classification of authorial corrections: 1) deletions of ideological and political nature; 2) deletions and changes caused by attacks of pedagogical critics; 3) corrections and changes of artistic nature. Lev Kassil was forced to respond to the ideological campaigns that were unfolding both on the national scale and in the professional literary environment (the anti-Semitic campaigns of the 1930s and 1940s, the deportation of the Volga Germans in the 1940s, discussions of “pseudo-romanticism and formalism” in criticism, etc.). Another reason for changing the text of the story was the circumstances of the writer’s family biography: the repression of his brother Iosif Kassil, who was the prototype of one of the main characters in the story — Os’ka. Nevertheless, The Conduit and Shvambrania was the only book in Kassil’s work in which a Jewish theme was expressed.
ON THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF THE NOBLE CHIEFS PANTHER, SERGEANT, AND THEIR FRIENDS IN THE LUISINO MOUNTAINS, THE WOODS OF SIDONIA, AND THE AMERICAN PRAIRIES: CHILDREN’S PROSE OF ACADEMICIAN SERGEY F. PLATONOV
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (The Pushkin House) of Russian Academy of Sciences, Gracheva Alla
Published: December 2022

The article considers the complex of prose works preserved in the personal archive of Platonov (RNL), which were written when the future academician was studying in the senior classes of the gymnasium. The focus is on the so-called “Louisin cycle”, created by Platonov in 1873–1875. The works of this cycle (issues of the self-made newspaper “Louisino Vestnik”, two essays “Conversations about Luisino” and a miniature story “On the Prairie”) are connected with Platonov’s summer stay at the dacha in Luisino village near St. Petersburg. The article concludes that the “Louisin myth” created by teenagers was a variant of the “myth in the style of Rousseau” about the life of a natural person who is in harmony with nature.

COVID-19 MORTALITY PREDICTION USING MACHINE LEARNING METHODS
Authors: POPOVYCH ANDRII , YAKOVYNA VITALIY
Published: December 2022

The paper reports the use of machine learning methods for COVID-19 mortality prediction. An open dataset with large number of features and records was used for research. The goal of the research is to create the efficient model for mortality prediction which is based on large number of factors and enables the authorities to take actions to avoid mass spread of virus to and reduce the number of cases and deaths. Feature selection was conducted in order to remove potentially irrelevant input variables and improve performance of machine learning models. The classic machine learning models (both linear and non-linear), ensemble methods such as bagging, stacking and boosting, as well as neural networks, is used. Comparison of efficiency of ensemble methods and neural networks compared to classic ML methods such as linear regression, support vector machines, K nearest neighbors etc. is conducted. Ensemble methods and neural networks show much greater efficiency than classical ones. Feature selection does not significantly affect the prediction accuracy.

The scientific novelty of this paper is the large number of machine learning models trained on the large-scale dataset with significant number of features related to different factors that can potentially affect COVID-19 mortality, as well as further analysis of their efficiency. This will assist to select the most valuable features and to become a basis for creating a software designed for tracking the dynamics of the pandemic.

The practical significance of this paper is that present study can be useful for authorities and international organizations in prevention of COVID-19 mortality increase by taking proper preventive measures.
AN APPROACH TO APPLICATIONS ARCHITECTURE MODELS ANALYSIS
Authors: Kopp Andrii , Orlovskyi Dmytro , Ersoyleyen Dorukhan
Published: December 2022

A relevant problem of applications architecture model analysis was considered in this paper. Its significance is defined by the fact that designed blueprints of software systems should be thoroughly checked for all potential inefficiencies in order to avoid additional effort and costs for defect correction in later project stages. As a result, the research goal was defined as detecting strong and weak points in software design solutions via applications architecture model analysis. The research objective was set at the process of analyzing applications architecture models, and the research subject was set at the software solution for analyzing applications architecture models. Existing software tools for applications architecture modeling and analysis were defined based on an examination of general software development problems for applications architecture model analysis. The ArchiMate enterprise architecture modeling language was chosen as the standard representation of applications architecture models to be analyzed because there are nearly no alternatives to ArchiMate language for architectural description of enterprise application models that are standardized, supported by most diagramming software, and exchangeable. The domain of applications architecture models analysis was discovered, an approach to analyzing applications architecture models was proposed, a software solution for analyzing applications architecture models was designed and developed, and it was used to evaluate applications architecture models that represent web development patterns. The analysis results could be used by system or software architects to estimate the suitability of applications architecture solutions for ongoing projects, detect flaws in specific architectural patterns, and reduce effort and costs in later project stages.

Published: December 2022

The Population Council, in partnership with the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, undertook a multicomponent study to better understand the relationship between debt and overseas labor migration from India. The study shed light on: levels and patterns of household indebtedness among migrant households, with a special focus on households with overseas migrants; cost of overseas labor migration from India and the role of debt in financing overseas migration; role of debt in migration-related decisions; differences in work-related choices and experiences and financial vulnerabilities migrant workers experienced by household indebtedness; and migrant workers’ perceptions about financial products that can potentially reduce their financial vulnerabilities. This report describes the levels and patterns of household indebtedness and socio-demographic differentials in indebted international migrant households. It sheds light on costs incurred for overseas labor migration and the role of debt in financing migration, migration-related decisions, work-related choices and experiences, and financial vulnerabilities faced in India and overseas. A description of financial products that can potentially reduce the financial vulnerabilities of overseas labor migrants is included, as are recommendations for programs and research.
Frenchism in the Short Story ‘The Red-Headed League’ and ‘The Final Problem’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Authors: Suratno Bondan Eko
Published: December 2022

Popular literary work, such as detective story, is an interesting phenomenon in literature since so many people like to read this kind of literary work. Popular literature in general has certain pattern called as formula. In this research, short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in The Best of Sherlock Holmes become the research object. Two of them, ‘The Red-Headed League’ and ‘The Final Problems’ are chosen for showing uniqueness compared to the other eighteen titles with the massive use of French or other French-related terms. This phenomenon invites further research interest on what the author's intention and purpose in using French and other French-related things. The language aspect is included in the discussion field of Sociology of Literature, because language is basically created from social dynamic process. Thus, Alan Swingewood's Sociology of Literature approach which views literature as a mirror of age is considered to be appropriate for this research model. The analysis results of French construction and its related things through fictional characters in the short story show the author's expression who wants to describe the France atmosphere, the Britain-France relations, and their triumphs in the spheres of literature and economy. Keywords: popular literature, detective story, French, French-related things, sociology of literature
The Forced Heirship System and Family Solidarity
Authors:   The Korean Society Of Family Law, Hyun So Hye
Published: December 2022

The forced heirship system has been implemented since 1979 in Korean Civil Act, but its functions are open to doubt nowadays due to the change of social and economic structure. Nevertheless, the forced heirship system should not be abolished. It is a part of the institutional guarantee according to the Article 36 ① of Constitution, because it prevents the dissolution of family solidarity by protecting the legal heirs from the decedent’s unrestricted disposition of property. However, the current forced heirship system and its relevant precedents falls short of the constitutional standard in that it does not provide the minimum protection for family system. First, the legal status of the co-heir who received devises and bequests changes to a third person according to the article 1114 of Korean Civil Act as soon as he renounces inheritance. It means the other co-heirs claim the return of the legal reserve against him in effect, so it would incapacitate the forced heirship system. Second, the precedents cut the forced heirship system from the contributory portion of the legal heir, so the heirs who received some devises and bequests in return for their special contribution to the decedents should rather recover the shortage of the legal reserve of co-heirs who has no contribution in the case which the decedent leaves no property. The contributory heirs can receive compensation neither in the process of inheritance division or from the lawsuit for the recovery of legal reserve of inheritance, which is against equity between family members and undermine the family solidarity.
Decidability of Definability Issues in the Theory of Real Addition
Authors: Bès Alexis , Choffrut Christian
Published: December 2022

Given a subset of X ⊆ ℝ n we can associate with every point x ∈ ℝ n a vector space V of maximal dimension with the property that for some ball centered at x, the subset X coincides inside the ball with a union of lines parallel to V. A point is singular if V has dimension 0.

In an earlier paper we proved that a 〈ℝ, +, <, ℤ〉-definable relation X is 〈ℝ, +, <, 1〉-definable if and only if the number of singular points is finite and every rational section of X is 〈R, +, <, 1〉-definable, where a rational section is a set obtained from X by fixing some component to a rational value.

Here we show that we can dispense with the hypothesis of X being 〈ℝ, +, <, ℤ〉-definable by requiring that the components of the singular points be rational numbers. This provides a topological characterization of first-order definability in the structure 〈ℝ, +, <, 1〉. It also allows us to deliver a self-definable criterion (in Muchnik’s terminology) of 〈ℝ, +, <, 1〉- and 〈ℝ, +, <,ℤ〉-definability for a wide class of relations, which turns into an effective criterion provided that the corresponding theory is decidable. In particular these results apply to the class of so-called k–recognizable relations which are defined by finite Muller automata via the representation of the reals in a integer basis k, and allow us to prove that it is decidable whether a k–recognizable relation (of any arity) is l–recognizable for every base l ≥ 2.
Relationship between stress and magnetic signal of steel box girder based on magnetic memory method
Authors: Zuo Fuliang , Su Sanqing , Wang Wei , Deng Ruize , Liu Xinwei , Li Junting
Published: December 2022

Metal magnetic memory testing (MMMT) is a nondestructive testing technique that can detect early signs of damage in components. Many scholars have studied the effect of uniform stress on the self-leakage magnetic field (SLMF) strength of ferromagnetic materials. However, there is still insufficient research on the stress concentration caused by uneven stress, under the combined action of bending and shear. In this study, we studied the law of distribution of the magnetic signal, H P( y) and magnetic gradient, K, on a part of the surface of a steel box girder damaged by buckling, using a four-point bending pattern. The results showed that combining the three peak positions, namely, the magnetic signal, its newly added comparing initial magnetic signal, and magnetic gradient distribution curves, could accurately determine all stress concentration positions on the flange of the steel box girder, and reduce the interference of the initial complex residual magnetic field. Furthermore, we studied the quantitative relationship between normal stress, shear stress, and a magnetic signal. It was found that the stress-magnetic relationship conformed to the Jiles–Atherton model. The peak value of H P( y) – σ, | H P( y)| a – σ, and K max – σ relationship curves could be used as the characteristic point of the critical yield stress at the action of normal and shear stress. The degree of stress concentration of the flange and web could be quantitatively evaluated by fitting the K max – σ relationship. This study can provide an experimental reference for the application of MMMT in the evaluation and early warning of the state of damage to a steel box girder.
Developing of neuro-swarm system to estimate the undrained shear strength of soil by CPT data
Authors: Gang Wang , Ling Song Jin , Yin Feng Jia , Yan Jia Dong , Yan Zhao
Published: December 2022

In this study, a novel hybrid metaheuristic model was developed to forecast the undrained soil shear (USS) property from cone penetration test (CPT) data (data from bore log sample from 70 different sites in Louisiana). This algorithm produced with the integration of grey wolf optimization (GWO) and multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP), named GWO - MLP, where different numbers of hidden layers were tested (1 to 4). The duty of optimization algorithm was to determine the optimal number of neurons in each hidden layer. To this objective, the system comprised five inputs entitled sleeve friction, cone tip persistence, liquid limit, plastic limitation, too much weight, and USS as outcome. The developed models for forecasting the USS of soil show the proposed best models have R2 at 0.9134 and 0.9236 in the training and predicting stage. Although the total ranking score of GWO-MLP2 and GWO-MLP4 is equal, the OBJ value shows that GWO-MLP4 has better performance than GWO-MLP2. In this case, considering the time of model running and a greater number of hidden layers suggests that GWO-MLP2 could be most appropriate. Therefore, the GWO-MLP3 model outperforms other GWO-MLP networks in the training and testing phase.
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ-22)
Authors: Quan Liming , Wu Lingyu , Zhang Yang , Chen Ting , Lan Yajia
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Although the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ-22) has been translated into numerous languages and applied in various countries, its cultural applicability in China remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To adjust the JCQ-22 for cross-cultural use and optimize the scoring method for suitability for Chinese working populations. METHODS: We first used the original JCQ-22 questionnaire to measure occupational stress. Cross-cultural adjustment involved reorganization of scale items (adjusted-I scale) and deletion of inefficient redundant items during reorganization of scale items (adjusted-II scale). Structural validity and the relationship between stress and health outcomes (insomnia and self-conscious symptoms) before and after adjustment were compared. RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the two-factor cumulative variance contribution rate of job demand and control of the adjusted-II scale was 52.47%, compared with 48.44% and 48.44% in the original version and adjusted-I scale, respectively. Among the 16 fitness indicators in confirmatory factor analysis, 9 items of the adjusted-II scale met the standard, compared with 4 items of the original and adjusted-I scales. The Pearson’s correlation coefficients between occupational stress and insomnia as well as self-conscious symptoms from the adjusted-II scale were 0.15 and 0.32, respectively, which were higher than those of the original scale (0.10 and 0.20). Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the adjusted-II scale exhibited a better area under the curve and Youden index values than the original scale. CONCLUSION: The adjusted-II scale exhibited superior structural validity with more reasonable health outcome predictions and fewer items, making it more suitable for measuring occupational stress in Chinese populations.
Prioritizing risk factors of hazardous material road transportation accidents using the fuzzy AHP method
Authors: Sarsangi Vali , Karimi Ali , Hadavandi Esmaeil , Hokmabadi Rajabali
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Annually, large amounts of hazardous materials (hazmat) are transported through the roads and this movement causes various accidents. Identifying the causes of these accidents is a critical issue for all public governments. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the effective risk factors for hazmat road transport accidents and determine their relative weight using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. METHODS: This qualitative study was conducted in 2021 in Iran and included four steps, i.e., the identification (using literature review and semi-structured interview), determination (according to the expert panel opinion), classification, and prioritization of effective factors in hazmat road transportation accidents. To prioritize and determine the relative weight of the effective factors, the fuzzy AHP technique was used. RESULTS: In total, 159 risk factors were identified, which were classified into six factors (including road, transportation management, vehicle, cargo, driver, and weather conditions) and 24 sub-factors. The main factor (greatest relative weight) with the highest priority was the driver (0.181). The road (0.167), cargo (0.166), vehicle (0.169), transportation management (0.161), and weather conditions (0.159) were the next priorities, in that order. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that the driver is the most important factor in causing accidents when transporting hazmat by road. The findings of this study might have the potential to decrease the frequency and consequence of accidents caused by the road transport of hazmat.

Authors: Campoya Morales Ángel Fabián , Hernández Arellano Juan Luis , Maldonado Macías Aidé Aracely , Rodríguez Yordán , Ochoa-Ortiz Carlos Alberto
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: The effects of performing occupational tasks that demand physical and mental efforts in combined and simultaneous approaches are unknown, especially when pushing force is analyzed as a physical effort and solving arithmetic problems as a mental effort. OBJECTIVE: In this study, physical and mental demands were simulated in a lab environment to assess the workload. METHODS: Using a push force dynamometer, the maximum push force strength of each participant was recorded, and the physical demand was simulated exerting the push force in low, medium, and high levels. Mental demands were simulated solving arithmetic tasks in low, medium, and high levels. Two experimental conditions were defined: (1) task with combined physical and mental workload (performing physical demands first and mental demands after) and (2) task in a simultaneous way (performing both demands at the same time. NASA-TLX Traditional and RAW were applied to assess the workload. RESULTS: The time to complete the tasks was significantly longer in the combined than the simultaneous approach, and performance was significantly higher in the combined than the simultaneous tasks. CONCLUSION: The combined approach obtained better results than simultaneous and Traditional NASA-TLX presented a significantly higher level of global workload index than RAW.

Authors: Chen Yang , He Yiwen , Jiang Zhuoyun , Xie Yuanzhong , Nie Shengdong
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND:

Cardiogenic embolism (CE) and large-artery atherosclerosis embolism (LAA) are the two most common ischemic stroke (IS) subtypes.

OBJECTIVE:

In order to assist doctors in the precise diagnosis and treatment of patients, this study proposed an IS subtyping method combining convolutional neural networks (CNN) and radiomics.

METHODS:

Firstly, brain embolism regions were segmented from the computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, and radiomics features were extracted; Secondly, the extracted radiomics features were optimized with the L2 norm, and the feature selection was performed by combining random forest; then, the CNN Cap-UNet was built to extract the deep learning features of the last layer of the network; Finally, combining the selected radiomics features and deep learning features, 9 small-sample classifiers were trained respectively to build and select the optimal IS subtyping classification model.

RESULTS:

The experimental data include CTA images of 82 IS patients diagnosed and treated in Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital. The AUC value and accuracy of the optimal subtyping model based on the Adaboost classifier are 0.9018 and 0.8929, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively predict the subtype of IS and has potential to assist doctors in making timely and accurate diagnoses of IS patients.

В результате получения численной оценки интегрированного показателя эффективности деятельности культурно-досуговых учреждений Российской Федерации формируется классификация регионов. Веб-сайт показателей эффективности индустрии культуры визуализирует на интерактивной карте цифровые данные с 2018 по 2020 гг. по субъектам. По регионам с самыми высокими показателями наблюдается отрицательная динамика и по регионам-лидерам явная отрицательная динамика. Рост и затем значительное снижение по активным регионам и резкий спад количества не эффективных регионов (более чем в два раза) и затем очень значительный рост. Как видно, прослеживается начальная тенденция укрепления только по активным регионам. С уверенностью можно утверждать, что глобальные ограничения деятельности по эпидемиологическим причинам губительно сказались на эффективности функционирования культурно-досуговых учреждений страны.

Neuropathic pain syndromes (NPS), pathogenetically associated with the demyelinating process in the central nervous system and patient maladjustment, are commonly found in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Primarily, the diagnosis of NPS is based on a careful analysis of clinical symptoms, while the MRI data and neurophysiological methods are of auxiliary importance. Difficulties in the NPS treatment are due to the patterns of pathogenetic mechanisms that determine the chronic nature of NPS, as well as limited efficacy and common adverse events of the drug therapy. The review examines modern views concerning the main variants of NPS in MS (persistent extremity pain, trigeminal neuralgia, Lhermitte’s sign, painful tonic spasms), describes the patterns of pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of each syndrome, provides data on the information value of additional examination methods, analyzes existing methods to conservative therapy based on the randomized trials data. Particular attention is paid to the following points in patient management with NPS: setting adequate treatment goals, choosing medications, using rational combined pharmacotherapy and non-drug treatment methods, increasing patients’ adherence to therapy. KEYWORDS: multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain syndromes, persistent extremity pain, trigeminal neuralgia, Lhermitte’s sign, painful tonic spasms, treatment tactics of neuropathic pain.

Quality improvement and research differences: A guide for DNP and PhD faculty

Misconceptions regarding quality improvement (QI) projects and their role within the human subjects research paradigm exist. Projects resulting in information applicable to local institutions with an emphasis on dissemination of the process implemented represent QI projects. Studies resulting in generalizable knowledge represent human subjects research. The chief misconception is that projects using experimental and quasi-experimental designs are not QI. Defining QI based on methodology is incorrect. Determination of whether a study is or is not QI lies in the study’s purpose. Nineteen study designs applicable to QI are presented. To assist faculty in determining whether a proposed study is considered human subjects research or QI, several tools are presented, and the IRB process in the context of QI is discussed. To ensure the rigor of QI, the SQUIRE guidelines are reviewed to provide guidance to faculty project directors. Finally, best practices for QI ethical considerations and human subjects research are emphasized.
Hermeneutika Pesantren: Eksplorasi atas Pandangan Kyai Pesantren Terhadap Hermeneutika Sebagai Manhaj Tafsir
Authors: Wahab Abdul
Published: December 2022

Penelitian sederhana ini berawal dari fakta yang menyebutkan bahwa kajian tafsir–apalagi tafsir kontemporer—di dunia pesantren belum sedominan fiqh, tasawuf dan ilmu alat, maka penulis beranggapan bahwa minimnya karya atau penelitian yang berkonsentrasi pada kajian dan respon pesantren terhadap tafsir kontemporer berawal dari sikap spekulasi “kebanyakan orang” yang menganggap bahwa kebanyakan pesantren tidak mengkaji apalagi merespon pemikiran tafsir kontemporer, sehingga penelitian tentang tafsir kontemporer dilingkungan pesantren dinilai sebagai penelitian yang sia-sia. Akan tetapi tidak demikian bagi penulis, karena penulis menemukan tidak sedikit kyai, ustadz atau pimpinan pesantren yang secara intens dalam pengajian tafsir yang mereka lakukan selalu menyinggung dan merespon isu-isu kontemporer. Spekulasi tersebut berlanjut ketika kebanyakan kyai menolak hermeneutika sebagai manhaj tafsir, dibuktikan dengan penolakan para kyai terhadap hermeneutika sebagai salah satu metode istinbāṭ al-ḥukm dalam komisi bahtsul masa’il pada Muktamar NU XXXI di Boyolali, Solo. Akan tetapi dari penelitian ini, didapatkan data bahwa pesantren memiliki potensi yang luar biasa dalam pengembangan tafsir kontemporer termasuk kebijakan para kyainya dalam merespon hermeneutika sebagai manhaj tafsir. Pada intinya adalah kecerdasan dalam memilah, mana konsep hermeneutika yang dapat digunakan dalam penafsiran Alquran dan mana yang tidak dapat digunakan, sehingga persandingan hermeneutika dengan berbegai manhaj tafsir yang telah digagas oleh para ulama Alquran bahkan semakin memperkaya khazanah kajian Alquran di pesantren.

The Puspa tree (Schima wallichii (D.C.) Korth.) is often used in reforestation and forest restoration activities. Puspa seed propagation techniques can be applied by generative or vegetative plant propagation. The lack of nutrients causes the availability of Puspa seeds very limited. Organic nutrients are used to obtain quality fertile plants and to accelerate growth. In this study, organic nutrients from Hydrilla plants. This study aimed to determine the best application of Hydrilla compost on the growth of Puspa seedlings. The research method used is quantitative. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with levels of 3 treatments and nine groups, so there were 27, 3 samples were taken for each group, so there were 81 tillers. The treatments in this study were H0 (2000 grams of topsoil), H1 (2000 grams of topsoil and 200 grams of hydrilla compost), and H2 (2000 grams of topsoil and 400 grams of hydrilla compost). The method of work in this research was making hydrilla compost, preparing puspa seeds, planting puspa seeds, and caring for puspa seeds. The observed variables were growth rate (%), number of leaves (strands), plant height (cm), stem diameter (mm), and growing root length (cm). The results showed that the H2 treatment gave the best results for plant heights that were very significantly different, with an average of 8.45 cm, the number of leaves was very significantly different, with an average of 11 strands and root lengths of 4.13 mm.

Published: December 2022

This study explores the relationship between perceived gratitude and work engagement in Indonesia and examines whether employee resilience mediates the relationship between perceived gratitude and work engagement. This study utilizes an online self-administered questionnaire that includes established measures associated with perceived gratitude, employee resilience, and work engagement–in addition to various demographic questions. The study sample consists of 205 respondents working as merchandisers in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) field under outsourcing companies. This study applies a mediation model in Hayes Process to examine the data. The findings suggest that perceived gratitude is positively related to employee resilience, while employee resilience is positively associated with work engagement. In addition, employee resilience mediates the relationship between perceived gratitude and work engagement. Based on the findings, outsourcing companies are encouraged to deliver workplace-perceived gratitude training to make their employees psychologically resilient, leading to more engagement at work. The present study’s findings contribute to the literature on work engagement by explaining how perceived gratitude as a bottom-up strategy can help employees be more engaged in their work.
