Marta Górnicka’s «Grundgesetz»: The Chorus as Portrait and Proxy of Political Community
Authors: Décaillet Louise
Published: October 2021

This text analyzes the function of the chorus in Marta Górnicka’s open-air production Grundgesetz (Berlin, 2018) in redefining the political community of “the German people.” While examining its relation to the audience, the author refers to examples of German mass spectacles from the Weimar Republic that invested choruses to both represent a political community in the making and to shape political subjects through collective action. Based on aesthetic and political concepts of representation, which intertwine in the performance, the author shows how the chorus of Grundgesetz both portrays and enacts “the German people” as a plurality of bodies and voices united by fundamental rights. Making it thus an available community to stand for, the performance questions the agency of the audience as a collective body capable of acting together in public space.

The article reflects the main results of the study of the veterinary and sanitary well-being of breeding products based on the use of molecular genetic methods. The possibility of transmission through the sperm of cattle of a large range of infectious agents of viral and bacterial nature, as well as protozoa, mycoplasmas and fungi, has been established. It was recorded that in the recommendations of the OIE regarding the assessment of the quality and safety of bull semen, there are no requirements, but they are mostly directed at the animal itself and at the zone of its origin. At the same time, the study of 232 series of bull semen in 47 series found an excess of the normalized value of non-pathogenic microorganisms by 1,2–1,8 times. Of particular interest are the results of the detection of Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Ku fever, a zoonotic disease characterized in animals by a long-term persistence of the pathogen in the chronic form of the disease, in samples of genetic material.

In a scientific economic experiment conducted in the experimental farm «Klenovo-Chegodaevo» (Moscow) on three groups of Holsteinized black-and-white cows with a milk yield of 7000 kg of milk per lactation, 10 heads in each, it was found that the inclusion in the diet of cows of the experimental groups tested protected fats (hydrogenated and fractionated) in the amount of 300 g per head per day, contributed to the tendency for more intensive metabolic processes in the rumen due to a slight increase in the concentration of volatile fatty acids by 5,6–7,4% and an increase in the mass of microorganisms in the contents of the rumen by 5,4–14,4% (P≥0,05). At the same time, an increase in the concentration of metabolic energy in the dry matter of the cows ration from 10,7 to 11,0 MJ / kg in the period from 21 to 120 days of lactation, due to the inclusion of protected fats in the diet of cows from the experimental groups, contributed to an increase in milk yield 4% fat content for 100 days of the experiment by 9,7% and 11,0% (P≤0,05), compared with the control, as well as the production of milk fat and protein, respectively by 9,6–11,0% (P≤0,05 in the second case) and 7,4–8,3%, feed costs expressed in ME decreased by 4,9–5,2%.

Objetive. The aim of this study was to analyze the activity of the imipenem-relebactam combination (IMI/REL) against a collection of multidrug-resist Enterobacterales, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Material and methods. The study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals in Spain and included 192 clinical isolates of these 3 genera (139 resistant and 53 susceptible to IMI). The MICs for IMI with and without REL (at a fixed concentration of 4 mg/L) were determined by a standard broth microdilution method according to international recommendations. Results. All IMI-susceptible E. coli strains were also susceptible to IMI/REL. Enterobacterales resistant to IMI due to the production of carbapenemases, the MIC50 and MIC90 decreased from 64/256 with IMI to 8/64 mg/L with IMI/REL. This high activity was principally detected among isolates with KPC enzymes. Enterobacterales with class B carbapenemases, P. aeruginosa carrying VIM carbapenemase and A. baumannii strains showed no changes on IMI MIC50 or MIC90 after adding REL. Among P. aeruginosa strains without carbapenemase the MIC for IMI/REL was reduced between 1 to 5 dilutions. Conclusions. IMI/REL showed high activity against the strains that carry Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) and against carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa unrelated to the VIM enzyme, mainly AmpC beta lactamase associated with impermeability. Against strains carrying oxacillinase 48 (OXA-48) associated with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), IMI/REL presented activity only slightly better than IMI and had no beneficial effect superior to IMI against A. baumannii.

Biomonitoring of heavy metals is an important part of the ecotoxicological study. However, without the application of the metal data to reflect human wellbeing, it is considered the low impact on the society. In this study, the heavy metals in green mustard Brassica rapa var. parachinensis were collected from Sikamat (Negeri Sembilan in 2013), Kg. Sitiawan (Perak in 2016), and Ara Kuda (Penang in 2016) of Peninsular Malaysia, were determined. The samples are analyzed for the concentrations of Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn by using the flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. For the leafy edible part, the metal concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) ranged from 16.1-18.5 for Cu, 145-207 for Fe, 1.02-1.64 for Ni, 0.90-2.73 for Pb, and 74.0-203 for Zn. These metal data were assessed for human health risks. It was found that all the values of target hazard quotients for Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in both adults and children were less than 1.00. This exhibited there were no non-carcinogenic risks of the five metals through the intake of the Brassica from the present study. This could indicate that the accumulation of metals and pollution threshold is below the limit of causing hazardous effects to consumers. Nonetheless, regular assessment of health risks of heavy metals in this vegetable needs to be conducted from time to time these vegetables are prone to continuous heavy metal contamination.

Published: October 2021

The innovative activity of the lecturer required an understanding of the content and means in a continuous system of preparation for professional activity at a university that integrates two functions – a lecturer and a researcher. The traditional training of postgraduate students is expressed by the predominance of its scientific component and the result in the form of a thesis. The reform of the Russian educational system made adjustments to postgraduate training as the third level of higher education. The results of research indicate a low quality of postgraduate students’ readiness to organize scientific search in the field of specific science. It is noted that postgraduate students studying in the field of “theory and methodology of professional education” acquire methodological competence by mastering a significant number of psychological and pedagogical disciplines and pedagogical practice during the first year of study, but experience difficulties in organizing scientific research due to unformed methodological competence. The article summarizes the experience of postgraduate training in the logic of the continuous development of professionalism in the system of intramural advanced training.

ADA compliance and teaching linguistics online
Authors: Miller Shelby
Published: October 2021

Only 8.8% of faculty have reported receiving formal training for develop-ing ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant online courses (Gould & Harris, 2019), yet in any given semester, faculty may be required by federal law to make their course accessible for a student that has enrolled with a disability. Linguis-tics faculty face many of the same challenges (namely time and resources) as other disciplines with implementing ADA federal guidelines. However, there are further obstacles with linguistic specific topics (such as dialect illustrations, phonology, morphology) that require special attention when devising accessible material for those that are either visually or hearing impaired. Through the exploration of an un-dergraduate linguistics course (LING 2050: Language of Now), this paper reflects on best practices, suggested modifications, barriers in developing an ADA compliant online linguistics course, and presents a resource developed by the author aggregat-ing resources that facilitate making a course ADA compliant.
Replacing traditional sections with Teams-based groupwork: Remote learning and beyond
Authors: Lee Leslie
Published: October 2021

The sudden shift to online teaching and learning brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to consider alternatives to entrenched teaching practices. Making use of the private channel function in Microsoft Teams, I replaced traditional sections in an introductory linguistics course with asynchronous groupwork. This enabled students to form learning communities that facilitated peer learning and support in spite of remote learning, while unexpectedly connecting students with instructors in more personalized ways than typically witnessed in traditional sections. The medium allowed the teaching team to provide tailored feedback on each group’s work, as well as point out errors that were common across groups. I reflect on some of the problems encountered and consider how these might be addressed in the future.

Published: October 2021

Summary. Aim. To analyze the features of differential diagnosis of urgent surgical pathology during a coronavirus infection pandemic.

Materials and methods. The work is based on the analysis of the results of additional examination of 28 patients at the admission department, who sought medical help in an urgent manner.

Results. The advantages and disadvantages of using instrumental methods for detecting atypical forms of coronavirus infection and acute abdominal pathology are analyzed. Based on this, a diagnostic algorithm was developed using express tests for the determination of COVID-19 and urgent ultrasound protocols, which made it possible to identify lung lesions without clinical symptoms in 8 (28.6 %) patients, and to confirm acute surgical pathology in 5 (17.9 %) patients.

Conclusion. Еxamining patients with suspected acute abdominal pathology for the purpose of differential diagnosis with the gastrointestinal form of COVID-19, it is necessary to use rapid tests for detecting antibodies to coronavirus infection and sonographic examination of the abdominal organs (FAST protocol), chest organs (BLUE protocol).

Published: October 2021

Summary. The aim is to determine the efficiency of diagnostics of the enteric insufficiency syndrome severity in peritonitis by phase mapping of microscopic images of histological sections of the laboratory rats’ small intestine.

Material and methods. Seventy-eight white nonlinear rats of both sexes were selected, weighing from 180 to 220 g, underwent simulated mild, moderate and severe experimental peritonitis according to the standard method. Samples of optically thin histological sections of the small intestine of rats with different severity of the course of peritonitis were used as the research object.

Results. As a result of the study, a structural and logical scheme for studying the effectiveness of differential diagnosis of the severity of peritonitis by means of statistical analysis of the structure of the distribution of phases of microscopic images of biological preparations of rats was developed, which helped to determine the relationships between the distribution of statistical parameters of the 1st–4th orders, which characterize phase maps depending on the severity of the peritonitis course.

Conclusion. The revealed changes in the statistical structure of phase maps fully correlate with the measurement data for the polarization phase manifestations of the properties of the polycrystalline component of histological sections, both in the case of the phase measurement of polycrystalline blood films and the wall of the small intestine.

Summary. The article presents materials of laboratory and instrumental diagnostics of 44 patients with sternal osteomyelitis and comparative treatment with VAC - therapy and open method. Diagnosis was verified by multispiral computed tomography. Ultrasound showed the best results to control the cleaning and healing of sternotomy wounds. The bacterial spectrum showed a predominance of gram-positive microflora in 52.38 % of patients. The use of VAC therapy reduced the duration of hospitalization of patients from (20,3±2,7) to (13,6±5,8) days.

Materials and methods. We analyzed the results of treatment of 22 patients who were treated at the State Institution “V.T. Zayceva IGUS NAMSU “in the period from 2014 to 2020 with osteomyelitis of the sternum (OS) after sternotomies. The material for the bacterial study was the isolation of a sternal wound. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacterial cultures was studied by disco-diffusion method and on agar. Diagnosis of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) was performed using Toshiba Aquilion 64 (Japan).

Results and discussion. Wound infection was detected in 42 patients out of 44 examined. A total of 34 strains of microorganisms, representatives of different taxa. S. aureus was dominant and accounted for 23.81 % of the total number of isolates of this genus. In 14.28 % of cases there was contamination of S. epidermidis. E. coli and K. pneumonia 14.28 and 9.52 %, respectively. The most effective in vitro were lincomycin and especially carbopenems (imipenem).

Among the instrumental studies we performed fistulography, ultrasound diagnostics (ultrasound) and MSCT.

We used VAC therapy in 31 patients and in 13 patients by bandaging depending on the stage of the wound process. The duration was (4.7 ± 1.3) days.

There was a decrease in the duration of wound cleansing: with superficial sternal infection — (12.8 ± 5.2) and (4.7 ± 1.3) days; with deep sternal infection — (25.3 ± 1.4) and (10.9 ± 2.2) days; term of hospitalization of patients with superficial sternal infection — (27.3 ± 5.6) and (13.6 ± 5.8) days; term of hospitalization of patients with deep sternal infection — (41.2 ± 3.5) and (20.3 ± 2.7) days.

Conclusions. 1. In the diagnosis of OS should be preferred MSCT, which allows to verify the diagnosis in up to 99 % of cases, and the use of ultrasound to monitor the cleaning and healing of sternotomy wounds. The use of VAC therapy reduced the duration of hospitalization of patients from (20,3±2,7) to (13,6±5,8) days.

Published: October 2021

Summary. Purpose of the reserche. To study changes in microflora and sensitivity of isolated strains to antibiotics using bacteriological research methods for intra-abdominal infections and peritonitis to determine their resistance when planning antibiotic therapy.

Results and discussion. The paper presents data from a retrospective analysis of the results of studies of microflora and its resistance in intra-abdominal infections (IAI) and peritonitis for 2 periods: I period — from january 2007 to december 2008, II period — from january 2018 to december 2019. The difference between period II and I was in the increase in the number of individual pathogenic strains of microorganisms. Thus, the number of Klebsiella spp. increased from 13.8 % to 23.8 %, which in absolute number of their total number amounted to a 73.5 %, ranking second in the overall structure among pathogens sown in IAI and peritonitis. The number of strains of Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Acinetobacter spp. has also increased by 2.4–5.8 % respectively. Among the strains Klebsiella spp., E. coli and Staphylococcus spp. the number of poly- and multi-polyresistant forms has increased. Thus, the number of such forms among Klebsiella spp. increased from 19.2 to 44.5 %, Staphylococcus spp. — from 43.8 to 67.1 % and E. coli from 18.2 to 23.5 %, respectively.

Conclusions. Over the past 10 years, with IAI and peritonitis, the most significant changes were revealed on the part of pathogenic strains of Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Acinetobacter spp. Multidrug resistant strains were predominantly susceptible to carbapenems, semisynthetic ureidopenicillins, aminoglycosides, glycopeptides, oxazalidinones, phosphonoic acid derivatives. In the context of changes in the microbial landscape observed over the past decade, an increase in the number of poly- and multi-resistant forms of pathogenic microorganisms in IAI and peritonitis, the choice of antibiotics for rational therapy should be based solely on bacterioscopy and antibiograms.

Abstract. The aim of the study – to improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis.

Matherials and methods of the study. The results of the treatment of 103 patients with acute pancreatitis who were treated in the surgical department of the Municipal non-commercial enterprise of the Kharkov regional council «Regional Clinical Hospital» 2015 to 2020 were analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups: the main (56 patients) and the comparison group (47 patients). In the main group, the tactics of the “step-up approach” were applied and the principles of the ERAS concept (2018-2020) were implemented. In the comparison group (2015-2017), the ERAS principles were not implemented and the open method was mainly used as the standard surgical treatment.

Results of the study. Patients treated using the principles of “fast-track surgery” along with the “step-up approach” tactics, less likely to have postoperative complications and reduced the length of stay in the surgical department.

Conclusions. This example confirms the appropriateness of applying the principles of “fast-track surgery” in everyday surgical practice in the complex treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis, as the results of surgical treatment of this category of patients are improved and financial costs for treatment are reduced.

Published: October 2021

Summary. Aim. NPWT-therapy (Negative-pressure wound therapy) or VAC-therapy (Vacuum Assisted Clousur) - a modern method of wound healing, which significantly improves the course of all stages of the wound process and is relevant today due to the large number of wounded during hostilities in eastern Ukraine. Often these injuries are combined and lead to the formation of large soft tissue defects.

The aim of the study. Improving the results of treatment of the wounded with extensive defects of the soft tissues of the torso and extremities through the use of NPWT therapy.

Materials and methods. Under our supervision in the period from 2017 to 2020 there were 60 wounded who were hospitalized in the surgical departments of the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Southern Region, who received vacuum therapy in the treatment of wounds. 38 (63.3%) had gunshot wounds to the extremities, and 22 (36.7%) had soft tissue injuries to the torso. The age of the wounded ranged from 19 to 58 years, among them young people under 30 years of age.

Before installing the device, it was necessary to perform surgical treatment with excision of necrotic tissue and removal of fibrin layers. Negative pressure was set at -125 mm Hg. Art. in the non-stop mode for soft tissue defects of the extremities and variable pressure in the -40 mm Hg mode. Art. -70 mm Hg Art. for wounds of the anterior abdominal wall. The duration of treatment with NPWT therapy was from 5 to 25 days. The systems were replaced at least once every 3-5 days. Criteria for discontinuation of NPWT therapy were: cleansing the wound of necrotized tissues and fibrin, improving clinical performance, filling the wound defect with granulation tissue.

Results and discussion. The use of this method of treatment allowed to close wound defects by autodermoplasty in 21 patients (35%), primary-delayed sutures in 11 (18%), secondary sutures in 15 (25%) and local tissue plastics in 13 (22%).

Complications after NPWT therapy in the form of re-suppuration of the wound, bleeding or perforation of hollow organs and large vessels were not observed.

Conclusions. The use of NPWT therapy can significantly increase the effectiveness of comprehensive treatment of the wounded with damage to the soft tissues of the torso and extremities. It allows you to quickly clean the wound surface, fill the wound defect with granulation tissue and prepare the wound for plastic closure.

Все изучаемые фаги имели титр 107 - 109 по Аппельману и 109 - 1010 по Грациа, обла-дали выраженной специфичностью в отношении к микобактериям: M. bovis, M. tuberculosis, M. kansasii, M. avium, M. scrofulaseum, M. phlei, M. terrae, М. intracellulare, M. smegmatis и не проявляли активности в отношении других видов микобактерий. Все указанные фаги сохраняли литическую активность в течение 2 месяцев, были устойчивы к нагреванию в пределах 50°С - 70°С в течение 30 мин. Фаги были устойчивы к действию 10% раствора хлороформа в течение 45 мин.На основании полученных результатов можно сделать вывод, в том, что исследуемые фаги разных видов микобактерий являются специфичными по отношению к микобактериям туберкулеза и не активны к другим видам микобактерий.

The article provides a preliminary screening of Asian locust larvae aged 2-3 years for the virulence of 25 isolates isolated from insects belonging to different systematic groups of fungi Beauveria bassiana. Five of the 25 strains showed high biological activity against larvae, (BCo1-14, BSc1-15, BSc2-15, BTr1-16, BPit-16) reaching a mortality rate of 90-100% 21 days after inoculation. The strains that have the best effect on the level and rate of mortality of the host organism are - BCo1-14, BSc1-15, BSc2-15, BTr1-16, BPit-16. The greatest biological activity was observed in the BSc1-15 strain, as the mortality rate of test organisms was only 100% within 15 days of exposure. The lowest activity was shown by the BCi4-14 strain in the range of 35.0-62.5%. At the same time, the mortality rate of Asian locust larvae in the control variant (without treatment) for 21 days was 15.0±2.88%. Thus, the proportion of highly toxic forms (80-100% lethality) in the total number of studied strains was not more than 44%, and the proportion of mildly toxic forms (less than 80% activity) was 56%.

Рассмотрены условия формирования содово-засоленных полугидроморфных солонцов Илийской впадины и возможности появление соды в профиле только при сочетании факторов почвообразования, химического состава почв, грунтов и грунтовых вод. Уста-новлено, что из-за тектонических процессов, разворачивавшихся в средней части Илийской впадины происходило рассоление верхней толщи карбонатных сульфатных солончаков, образовавшихся при выпотном водном режиме. При дальнейшем протекании этого процесса, медленная и длительная фильтрация нисходящим током растворов, содержащих сульфат натрия через карбонатные горизонты, привело к образованию и накоплению соды, транс-формировав сульфатный луговый солончак в солончаковатые солонцеватые луговатые сероземы, а при продолжительном протекании вышеотмеченных процессов в содовый полугидроморфный солонец. Общеизвестно, что мелиорации любых засоленных почв наряду с составом и свойс-твами также требуют изучения их генезиса. Следовательно, невозможно определить и регулировать уровень плодородие почвы, не зная особенности их происхождения. Поскольку очаги содово-засоленных почв находятся в отдалении друг от друга, поэтому требуют определения взаимовлияние сочетаний факторов, обусловливающих образование в них соды. Формирование ее в почвах, грунтах и грунтовых водах следует рассматривать в каждом случае индивидуально и комплексно, использую природно-исторические и сравнительно-географические методы, исходя из триады «почвообразующие факторы-элементарные почвообразующие процессы-свойства почвы». Определение происхождения содово-засоленных почв в природе требует изучения историй, и существующие теории образования соды в почвах. Анализ последнихи определениеусловий,аналогичный нашим, позволит в дальнейшем определить наиболее правильные пути мелиорации содово-засоленных почв.

Photometric Observations of KEPLER Mission’s Eclipsing Binary EPIC 201458798 (V0337Leo)
Authors: Altunin Ivan
Published: October 2021

Two follow up observing sessions of Kepler’s Eclipsing Binary star system EPIC 201458798 (from the K2 mission) were conducted in the Spring of 2018 and 2019 utilizing the 0.4 m subnet of the Los Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope network. The total duration of observations for each session (∼77 days) was comparable with the duration of observations by the Kepler telescope ∼80 days. 900–1000 images were obtained during each session with an integrating time around 1 minute, resulting in about 800 mag measurements per session. In contrast, the Kepler telescope provided almost continuous measurements of this star with an integration time per image of about 30 minutes, resulting in about 3250 photometric points. In contrast to the Kepler telescope measurements, which were conducted with one very broad filter, the observations in this study used four filters:B,V,ip, andrp. This data was processed and the period, time of minimum, and depth of the eclipses was determined. The results were compared with the data obtained by the Kepler telescope and other historical records.
Of foundlings and “lostlings”

Le 5 mai 1959, le mouvement des adoptions internationales d’après-guerre alors en pleine expansion a été touché par un premier grand scandale, qui a pour la première fois fait parler de « trafic de bébés ». Au cœur de ce scandale, qui portait sur des enfants grecs adoptés par des parents adoptifs résidant aux États-Unis, se trouvait Stephen S. Scopas, un éminent magistrat de New York, accusé d’avoir vendu une trentaine d’enfants grecs, ce qui fit rapidement la une des journaux. Scopas avait placé des enfants grecs auprès de couples new-yorkais pendant environ deux ans, et il avait été payé pour ces placements prétendument non autorisés. Les accusations ont finalement été rejetées, car il a été prouvé que toutes les adoptions menées par Scopas et ses comparses avaient été formellement conclues en Grèce. L’accusation a dû concéder un fait surprenant, qui est resté une constante dans les adoptions internationales lorsqu’elles sont soumises à un examen plus approfondi : parce que les adoptions, faites avant le départ, avaient été formalisées en Grèce (par le biais d’ordonnances des tribunaux grecs), les tribunaux américains devaient les reconnaître sur la base du principe de courtoisie internationale ou de réciprocité. Scopas a été acquitté, mais le mal était fait. Jusqu’à ce jour, les adoptions internationales de la Grèce vers les États-Unis, dont la plupart ont été réalisées entre 1950 et 1962, sont restées entachées des stigmates de l’illégalité et du marché noir. De plus, le scandale de 1959 n’a pas été le seul à marquer cette première phase importante, mais pas assez étudiée, du mouvement de l’adoption internationale. Pour les besoins de cette étude, l’enquête du tribunal de Scopas nous fournit un point d’observation multifocal, à partir duquel nous pouvons observer et interroger les politiques et pratiques d’adoption de la fin des années 1950, mais aussi la pensée et l’argumentation d’un grand nombre de parents adoptifs américains, à qui le tribunal de New York a demandé de témoigner en personne et sous serment. Si les courtiers en adoption ont négligé la tenue de registres appropriés pour les « bébés Scopas », les documents du tribunal issus du dossier d’appel de Scopas fournissent des informations essentielles. C’est ce dossier que je souhaite présenter, car les documents et les témoignages transcendent le cas particulier et nous permettent d’appréhender dans leur ensemble les dynamiques complexes de l’adoption internationale d’après-guerre.

Bankruptcy prediction is an important problem in finance, since successful predictions would allow stakeholders to take early actions to limit their economic losses. In recent years many studies have explored the application of machine learning models to bankruptcy prediction with financial ratios as predictors. This study extends this research by applying machine learning techniques to a quarterly data set covering financial ratios for a large sample of public U.S. firms from 1970–2019. We find that tree-based ensemble methods, especially XGBoost, can achieve a high degree of accuracy in out-of-sample bankruptcy prediction. We next apply our best model, using XGBoost, to the problem of predicting the overall bankruptcy rate in USA in the second half of 2020, after the COVID-19 pandemic had necessitated a lockdown, leading to a deep recession. Our model supports the prediction, made by leading economists, that the rate of bankruptcies will rise substantially in 2020, but it also suggests that this elevated level will not be much higher than 2010.

Big data has attracted a lot of attention in many domain sectors. The volume of data-generating today in every domain in form of digital is enormous and same time acquiring such information for various analyses and decisions is growing in every field. So, it is significant to integrate the related information based on their similarity. But the existing integration techniques are usually having processing and time complexity and even having constraints in interconnecting multiple data sources. Many of these sources of information come from a variety of sources. Due to the complex distribution of many different data sources, it is difficult to determine the relationship between the data, and it is difficult to study the same data structures for integration to effectively access or retrieve data to meet the needs of different data analysis. In this paper, proposed an integration of big data with computation of attribute conditional dependency (ACD) and similarity index (SI) methods termed as ACD-SI. The ACD-SI mechanism allows using of an improved Bayesian mechanism to analyze the distribution of attributes in a document in the form of dependence on possible attributes. It also uses attribute conversion and selection mechanisms for mapping and grouping data for integration and uses methods such as LSA (latent semantic analysis) to analyze the content of data attributes to extract relevant and accurate data. It performs a series of experiments to measure the overall purity and normalization of the data integrity, using a large dataset of bibliographic data from various publications. The obtained purity and NMI ratio confined the clustered data relevancy and the measure of precision, recall, and accurate rate justified the improvement of the proposal is compared to the existing approaches.
