Paradoks dalam Antologi Puisi Rupi Kaur “The Sun and Her Flowers”
Authors: Jayantini I Gusti Agung Sri Rwa , Umbas Ronald , Lestari Ni Nyoman Ayu Dewi
Published: October 2020

Sebagai salah satu genre karya sastra, puisi menjadi representasi universal yang menguatkan komunikasi antarindividu melalui gaya bahasa yang digunakan oleh sang penyair. Penggambaran suasana bertentangan yang dapat dicapai melalui paradoks membuat puisi mampu memacu daya analitis pembaca karena mereka harus mengulik makna dibalik pernyataan yang kontradiktif. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengidentifikasi paradoks dan cara pengungkapannya dalam kumpulan puisi ”The Sun and Her Flowers” karya penyair yang terkenal di media sosial Instagram, Rupi Kaur. Analisis didasarkan pada fitur khas paradoks dari Morner dan Rausch (1991). Penelitian kualitatif berupa analisis konten (content analysis) ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan stilistika melalui langkah interpretasi puisi (Griffith, 2010). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa paradoks yang ditemukan bersifat retorik dengan dua cara interpretasi untuk memahami hubungan kontradiktif yang terjadi yaitu (1) paradoks yang diungkapkan melalui diksi dan (2) paradoks yang disampaikan melalui deskripsi paradoksal. Tujuan penggambaran suasana melalui gaya bahasa paradoks lebih dari sekadar membangun interpretasi. Paradoks dalam puisi memancing pemikiran kritis pembaca yang menginterpretasi makna di balik proposisi bertentangan.Kata kunci: paradoks, diksi, deskripsi paradoksal
Kedaulatan Negara dan Subjek Homo Sacer dalam Film The Pianist Berdasarkan Perspektif Giorgio Agamben
Authors: Monika Lastry
Published: October 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis film The Pianist yang disutradarai oleh Roman Polanski pada tahun 2002. Analisis tersebut dilakukan berdasarkan sudut pandang filsafat politik yang dikemukakan oleh Giorgio Agamben. Analisis dalam penelitian ini ialah mengenai kondisi sosial ketika terjadinya invasi Polandia oleh Jerman Nazi yang totaliter pada tahun 1939 yang tervisualisasi dalam film The Pianist. Kondisi sosial yang dimaksud di antaranya berupa HAM masyarakat sipil yang menjadi suatu problematik bagi Polandia jika dilindungi atau tidak dilindungi dan kelompok-kelompok yang di-homo sacer-kan ketika terjadinya invasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Polandia berada di luar hukum atau menangguhkan hukum untuk melindungi dirinya dari invasi Jerman Nazi. Oleh sebab itu, Polandia tidak memenuhi kewenangannya untuk memberi keamanan, keadilan, dan pelayanan sosial, terutama terhadap kelompok yang di-homo sacer-kan. Kelompok-kelompok yang di-homo sacer-kan dalam hal ini ialah Yahudi Polandia. Kelompok Yahudi Polandia mengalami penangguhan dan diskriminasi terhadap hak kewarganegaraan mereka. Penangguhan dan diskriminasi tersebut merupakan dampak dari kewenangan Polandia yang berada di luar hukum untuk melindungi kedaulatan negara atas invasi Jerman Nazi.
Avaliação do desempenho do transistor MOS sem junções configurado como Nanofio ou FINFET
Authors:   , Ribeiro T.  A.
Published: October 2020

This work studies how the different gate configurations of junctionless transistors affects their electrical characteristics. Measurements were made on experimental junctionless transistors varying the fin width as well asthree-dimensional numerical simulations, which were calibrated with the experimental results, using the models that best apply to the physics of the junctionless devices. With the three-dimensional simulations adjusted for the fin width, a study was made based on the fin height and its electrical characteristics. These transistors can be configured either as FinFETs or as nanowires depending on the height of the silicon fin. It was obtained that junctionless FinFETs (fin height larger than the fin width), have their best electrical characteristics for long channel devices with narrow fin width and fin height with values greater than 30 nm. For junctionless nanowire transistors (similar fin height and fin width), the best potential can be seen with the decrease in the length of the channel, with narrow width and short height of the silicon fin (around 10 nm). The mobility of the experimental devices analyzed by the Split-CV method, obtaining the effective mobility of the transistors. It was obtained that for a decrease in the fin width it increases the mobility, due to the reduction of Ionized Impurity scattering. Measurements were also made due to the high temperature in triple gate junctionless nanowire transistors to almost planar devices in the range of 300 K to 500 K. It was analyzed by the effective mobility, the effects of the types of carrier scattering depending on the fin width experimentally and via simulations. It has been seen that quasi-planar transistors suffer less from the scattering effect by phonons compared to nanowires, the latter having a greater influence of surface roughness. Comparing the temperature exponents, junctionless transistors suffer more from the effect of scattering by phonons than with Coulomb effect in transistors with narrow fin width. Thus, narrow fin width devices have a greater variation of mobility with temperature compared to quasi-planar devices

Introduction: Infectious endocarditis remains a relatively common, serious pathology and suffering heavy
mortality in sub-Saharan Africa.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the epidemic-clinical, evolutionary aspects patients
hospitalized for infectious endocarditis and assess their prognosis.
Methods: This is a prospective, 5-year, multicentre study of 81 hospitalized patients and treated for
infectious endocarditis. These patients were followed for at least a year.
Results: We observed that in our sub-Saharan context, patients who suffer from infectious endocarditis are
often young, with an average age of 30 years. Rheumatic valve disease and congenital heart disease
underlying the most frequent. Blood cultures are often negative, making it difficult the choice of appropriate
antibiotic therapy. Surgical treatment (heart surgery) is difficult to access (2% in our study). As a result, the
mortality is very high (63% at 1 year), with a survival rate of only 37% at 1 year.
Conclusion: Our study shows that despite progress in diagnosis and therapeutic management, infectious
endocarditis remains a pathology serious with heavy mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. It is important to
highlight the importance of prevention, early diagnosis of infectious endocarditis, and especially the need
for early medical-surgical management of these patients to improve their prognosis.

Doctrinal basis of crime classification
Authors: Skok Oleksandra , Omelchenko Stanislav
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the issues of formation, development and legislative registration of the Institute for the classification of crimes. Scientific and legislative classification of crimes, rules of formal logic as a basis for differentiation of criminal offenses and individualization of criminal responsibility and punishment are investigated. The term “crime classification” has been interpreted, the principles and functions of classification have been defined. The definition of the classification criterion, the content of public danger in the doctrine of criminal law, for which there is a large number of scientific views, is given. The criteria of public danger as a material sign of a crime are defined. According to Article 12 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, depending on the severity of the crime, the crimes are divided into crimes of low gravity, moderate, serious and especially serious. The legislative classification of crimes was made taking into account the type of punishment (fine and imprisonment), as well as the amount of punishment. Crime classification is inextricably linked to the principles of formal logic and the laws of dialectics. The analysis of the theoretical provisions of the classification of crimes shows that the current legislative definition of crimes of small gravity, medium gravity, grave and especially grave, - is constructed with the non-observance of some basic rules of formal logic concerning the necessity of using in one classification the same grounds and grounds . It should also be noted that the neglect of the typical sanction by the legislator as the sole classification criterion has led to the emergence of an additional formal criterion in the form of a fine, which in itself contradicts the generally accepted doctrinal provisions for constructing the classification.
Areas of improvement of training National police pre-trial investigators
Authors: Kobzar Oleksandr , Darahan Valeriy
Published: October 2020

The article deals with defining directions for improving the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. Every year, more demanding demands are placed on law enforcement activities of state bodies, in particular the National Police, which in turn requires an increase in the amount of knowledge required by police officers. Increasing the intellectual level of criminals, using offenders more sophisticated methods and means of committing offenses, careful training, masking criminal acts require adequate response of law enforcement agencies, which in turn requires appropriate training of Interior Ministry employees. An analysis of the publications which initiated the solution of this problem showed that today there is a lack of thorough research on the directions of improving the training of specialists for the bodies of pre-trial investigation of the National Police, which determines the relevance of the investigated problems. At present, within the structure of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the specialization of training police officers is focused only on the process of training police officers of criminal police (Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs - financial and economic security; Odessa State University of Internal Affairs - units of counteraction etc.). In turn, the process of training specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies does not have such an extensive system of training areas. As a result of the conducted research, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to improve the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. The main directions for improving the training of specialists for the pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police should be: 1) increasing the requirements for the quality of legal education and professional training of future employees of investigative units; 2) introduction of training of experts for pre-trial investigation bodies according to the profiles assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; 3) introduction of an effective model of conducting binary classes with the involvement of experienced staff of pre-trial investigation bodies in the process of training specialists for such bodies.

An analysis of the comparative efficacy and safety of NOAC and warfarin according to the latest systematic reviews and meta-analyzes. According to the results of the analysis of the pharmaceutical market, it is established that currently in active retail sale in Ukraine there are 15 drugs NOAC (2 drugs apixaban, 6 drugs dabigatran and 7 drugs rivaroxaban) and 11 medications warfarin from 4 manufacturers. It is determined which drugs containing the same substance are the cheapest in terms of the cost of one DDD. It is established that the indicator of Ca.s. 80 % of warfarin drugs are moderately available, and all NOAC s are not available. The level of total consumption of anticoagulant drugs in Ukraine in 2019 was 1.7 DDDs, which, taking into account the prevalence of AF, suggests the existence of a significant number of patients with AF who do not receive appropriate anticoagulant therapy. It is established that the level of drug consumption does not depend on the cost of the drug. Conclusions. Under the current conditions of the health care system of Ukraine, warfarin is a more cost-effective drug for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in comparison with NOAC, which should be taken into account when implementing individualized pharmacotherapy of patients. According to the analysis of consumption volumes, it can be assumed that in Ukraine there is a large number of patients with AF who do not receive anticoagulant therapy.

The review presents an analysis of scientific publications in recent years devoted to the study on the cellular-molecular mechanism of cellular adaptation to hypoxia. In many respiratory diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic respiratory failure, etc.), the balance between the cells’ need for oxygen and its delivery is disrupted. It complicates the course of the diseases and is a potential factor in their progression. The microenvironment in the inflammatory areas becomes hypoxic (so-called inflammatory hypoxia). The formation of long-term adaptation to pathological hypoxia is associated with the expression of a specific hypoxia-induced factor (HIF). It serves as a transcription activator for more than 300 genes and is a key regulator of various cellular and systemic responses to hypoxia, including angiogenesis, cell proliferation, cellular migration, regeneration, antigen presentation, cytokine and antimicrobial peptide production, phagocytosis, apoptosis, and cellular metabolic reprogramming. The article also considers the complex cross-interaction between HIF signaling and the nuclear transcription factor κB — NF-κB) signaling pathway (one of the main regulators of inflammation and immune responses). Possible therapeutic methods for controlling inflammation and immune-related diseases based on the principle of regulating the HIF signaling pathway are discussed.

Inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses are identified as the leading cause of upper respiratory disorders. Nose breathing is of crucial importance to provide the entry for air to get into the respiratory system. In addition to oxygen saturation, nose breathing provides the exchange of air in the paranasal sinuses. This process is required to maintain normal microflora of the nasal cavity. In contrast, mouth breathing occurring during the inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity is associated with discomfort and poor health-related quality of life and results in inflammation. Viral inflammatory disorders often exacerbate a patient’s condition and provoke bacterial inflammation. Recent widespread occurrence of antimicrobial resistance forced to change the paradigm in the treatment of inflammatory disorders and to refocus on time-proved topical therapies. Systemic antibiotics are now used only for strict indications. Other treatment options are widely applied. Thus, silver preparations characterized by antiseptic and bactericidal properties allow to avoid complications and to aid the recovery. They are the best choice of topical agents for treating acute rhinosinusitis.

This review article attempts to systematize and summarize the data on the major age-related pathophysiological, biomechanical, and histological processes that contribute to the progression of nasal breathing impairment or the appearance of these symptoms in elderly patients. The specifics of risk assessment of deviated septum surgery using various questionnaires and scoring systems is discussed. The article demonstrates that deviated septum surgery can be performed in these patients and addresses the specificity of donor site selection for a septal graft in elderly patients considering the histological features of various septal cartilage regions. Prior assessment of individual risks is of particular importance since it determines surgical success and favorable postoperative course in these patients. Studies addressing the perspective use of tissue-engineering transplants are unraveled. Management strategies that consider aging biomechanisms potentially affecting treatment efficacy are described. Finally, the article highlights preoperative management, treatment choice, drug dosage regimens, and postoperative management after septoplasty.

Potential recurrence is a key challenge of the surgical interventions for temporal bone cholesteatoma. It manifests with the residual or recurrent cholesteatoma. Open surgical techniques reduce the recurrence of cholesteatoma due to the better visualization of temporal bone cavities both intraoperatively and postoperatively and also prevent otogenic intracranial complications. However, even despite open-cavity surgeries, cholesteatoma recurrences are still common in ENT practice while their asymptomatic course often results in the late diagnosis. This article describes three case reports of cholesteatoma recurrences with significant destructive lesions of the temporal bone and intracranial complications after prior open-cavity surgical interventions. These case reports are of interest due to the latent course of cholesteatoma and the lack of disease recurrence signs revealed by the standard ENT examination using otomicroscopy and endoscopy. Finally, these case reports highlight the importance of diffusion-weighed magnetic resonance imaging of the middle ear in patients with temporal bone cholesteatoma both in the preoperative and postoperative period.

This article reviews current surgical techniques for a deviated septum and, in particular, focuses on the comparison of conventional and endoscopic approaches to septoplasty. Relevant issues of the anatomy and physiology of the nasal septum affecting the course of the comorbidities of the nasal cavity and the surrounding structures are discussed. The conventional and endoscopic approaches to septoplasty, indications, the benefits and drawbacks of each technique are addressed. The authors highlight the spectrum of the potential surgical procedures to the surrounding structures with the correction of the deviated septum as the first step. This surgical strategy in patients with the combined disorders of the internal structures of the nasal cavity is accounted for by the favorable course of the chronic conditions of the nasal cavity in the postoperative period and the possibility for providing adequate care for the nasal cavity. This article describes authors’ experience with the surgical correction of the deviated septum using endoscopic approach at all steps of the surgery. Clear advantages of this techniques in terms of both intraoperative accuracy and postoperative care for the nasal cavity are uncovered.

Authors: Loc Duong Hoang
Published: October 2020

This paper aims to provide an indigenous knowledge system on the weather and hydrology system of the fishermen in the Southwest coastal area which is based on the research data in two specific communities: An Thuy commune (Ba Tri district, Ben Tre province) and Song Doc town (Tran Van Thoi district, Ca Mau province). The research results show that this knowledge is rich, diverse, and has been accumulated by the community for generations, especially to enable them to forecast the weather to preserve assets and lives during fish processing activities. The knowledge of the community related to weather and hydrology includes the insight of monsoon, water and storms. Offshore fishermen mastering each of this knowledge items can predict the weather to avoid the risks of sudden storms by choosing an optimal or preventive plan. This study is based on the data collected from qualitative research methods, including ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews with experienced fishermen together with field notes in two areas of An Thuy commune, and Song Doc town. Besides, the paper recommends a proper proposal to preserve this knowledge in current conditions. The research results of this paper have shown the differences in local knowledge of those communities due to the weather and hydrological characteristics of the two Southeast and Southwest regions of the East Sea.

Published: October 2020

Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction and colicky abdominal pain in the children, particularly infants, the commonest being the ileocolic variety with colocolic variety being a very rare entity. We present a case of colocolic intussusception in a 1-year-old girl. A 1-year-old girl presented with history of colicky abdominal pain since 6 hours and non-passage of stools and flatus since 8 hours.The parents also gave history of 4 episodes of vomiting, vomitus contained food particles. Vomitus was not blood stained, foul smelling or bilious. Intraoperative findings included a polypoidal growth in the descending colon as the leading point with the formation of a colo-colic intussusception. The child was taken up for emergency laparotomy. Intraoperatively ilio-ileal intussception was noted at 2 levels with multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. The intussceptions were reduced manually. On further exploration of the distal end of bowel, appendix was found to be elongated and inflamed. Appendectomy was done, and the sample sent for histopathological examination.

Published: October 2020

Kesenjangan gender terjadi di berbagai negara di dunia seperti yang dijelaskan oleh World Economic Forum melalui Global Gap Gender Index (GGGI). Salah satu aspek GGGI adalah dari segi ekonomi yaitu participation and opportunity. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur seberapa besar kesenjangan penghasilan yang terjadi menurut gender di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan data Sakernas 2019 dan metode dekomposisi Blinder-Oaxaca diperoleh hasil bahwa kesenjangan penghasilan antara laki-laki dan perempuan di Indonesia sebesar 0,4282 poin persentase, yang artinya secara rata-rata penghasilan laki-laki lebih tinggi 42,82 persen dibandingkan dengan perempuan. Kontribusi faktor diskriminasi lebih dominan dibandingkan faktor endowment terhadap total kesenjangan yang terjadi. Faktor endowment seperti umur, jam kerja, pendidikan, jenis dan lapangan pekerjaan hanya berkontribusi sebesar 3,55 persen dari total kesenjangan yang terjadi, sementara kontribusi faktor diskriminasi sebesar 96,45 persen.

In Search of a New Sympoiesis: A Review of Higher Education Admissions in Uzbekistan
Authors: Semyonov Aleksey
Published: October 2020

Current comprehensive changes in the field of higher education in Uzbekistan have a potential impact on the overall enrollment in higher education. Rigid admission quotas in Uzbekistan are slowly conceding to a more market-based admissions and student recruitment to support reforms implementation. Cursory glance at the reforms fails to explain unprecedented growth of application numbers to higher education in 2019/20 or conjecture about future application patterns. Research presented in this paper aims to investigate the trends in higher education admissions in Uzbekistan through document analysis. It further draws on the effects of the government policy and legislation changes on the admission numbers in Uzbekistan and attempts to shed light on the future dynamics of student recruitment in higher education. The findings suggest that profound all-encompassing reforms in Uzbekistan have, firstly, precipitously increased relevant-age application numbers for 2019/20 academic year, but analysis suggests that this trend is unlikely to continue in the future.

Atividades pluriativas estão se tornando cada vez mais importantes no contexto de pequenas propriedades rurais. No entanto, verifica-se ainda um longo caminho para a compreensão do papel da pluriatividade nas diferentes comunidades rurais brasileiras. Inúmeros aspectos sobre a presença de atividades pluriativas e seus efeitos no desenvolvimento socioeconômico precisam ser compreendidos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a presença de atividades pluriativas no município de Dona Francisca/RS. O trabalho exploratório analisou um conjunto de propriedades rurais na localidade Linha do Moinho. As famílias foram divididas pelo setor de atividade (agrícolas, pluriativas e não agrícolas). Com base nas relações de ocupação produtiva e condições sociodemográficas, verificou-se que há uma demanda crescente dos atores sociais da localidade por atividades pluriativas, apesar da importância das atividades agrícolas. Os resultados encontrados refletem uma nova realidade, permeada pela busca por novas atividades para complementar e/ou ampliar a renda familiar.

Published: October 2020

In this work, an exploratory study was conducted to examine Gram staining based on the capillary tube. Each Gram staining step for all bacterial strains tested was completed in capillary tubes. The results showed that different Gram staining morphologies were clearly visible in the capillary tubes. The results presented here demonstrated that the improved method could effectively distinguish between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and only small volumes of reagents were required in this method. Collectively, this efficient method could rapidly and accurately identify the types of bacteria. Therefore, our findings could be used as a useful reference study for other staining methods.
Concept of using and modeling of a marine autonomous smart profiler

The article focuses on the development of technical support in terms of expanding the measuring base and improving marine profilers for operational observation systems as part of a new and developing scientific and applied field – operational oceanography. The concept of using a marine autonomous intelligent profiler for operational measurements of the thermohaline profile parameters of a stratified ocean environment with a significant reduction in the time to conduct an experiment using smart profiling is presented. At the same time, time savings are achieved due to the flexible control of the high-speed modes of vertical movement of the marine autonomous profiler with adjustable buoyancy. Low profiling speeds avoid significant dynamic distortions in the measurements obtained from inertial sensors. However, in a homogeneous environment, after taking measurements, the speed of the profiler can be significantly increased. The purpose of the smart profiler as a mobile data collection platform is to analyze its own motion and the properties of the surrounding ocean environment and choose, on this basis, a high-speed profiling mode that provides an acceptable level of dynamic distortion in the sensor data installed on board the measuring equipment. The results of computer simulation of the proposed smart structure in the MATLAB & Simulink environment based on the original mathematical models that make up its subsystems are presented. We studied the process of “smart” profiling during the transition of the profiler from a cruising speed mode (fast) to a working speed mode (slow), as well as its return to cruising speed in a stratified ocean environment. In this case, the behavior strategy of the smart profiler (ensuring the specified accuracy of thermohaline measurements) was implemented by choosing a speed mode based on the analysis of dynamic measurements of its motion parameters and stratification of the profile by density.

In order to create new devices for measuring various acoustic characteristics of an aqueous medium (speed of sound, scattering and absorption coefficients), a design of a laboratory multifunctional setup has been proposed to study the effect of microinhomogeneities in water on its acoustic properties. It should be noted that the created laboratory complex is very promising for solving problems such as studying the structure of microinhomogeneities. The article provides a brief analysis of methods for measuring the scattering of ultrasound in a liquid, and also notes the results of recent studies of small-scale irregularities in the ocean and provides links to them. At the research stage, all measurements were carried out on the clouds of microbubbles , located and moving in the liquid. The technique developed by the authors allows to determine, for the mid-frequency range, the design features of primary acoustic transducers with two reflectors, one of which is acoustically semitransparent, and to make correction of the dimensions of highly stable rods made from sital or from the carbon composite, depending on obtaining the necessary spatial and temporal characteristics of the investigated acoustic field. Equations for determining the time windows are given, their values are calculated, and graphs are constructed by which it is possible to determine the volumetric section of sound scattering, without the influence of multiple reflections on the measurement results. After research at the laboratory setup, recommendations were formulated for improving the primary acoustic transducer, the ISZ-1 device, designed to measure the scattering and absorption of ultrasound in situ.

The article highlights an environmental problem that is relevant for industrial cities, namely the identification of the source of excess emissions. The existing monitoring systems are not designed to identify sources that are violators, and the Supervisory authorities currently lack not only a tool, but also an algorithm for identifying the violator when determining excess pollution levels. The article considers current methods and devices aimed at locating a source that has allowed an excess emission, but all of them have their own disadvantages and limitations. The article presents a method for identifying the source of excess emission based on air sampling conducted by mobile laboratories. The proposed method was tested on mobile laboratory data obtained during an atmospheric air survey in the Soviet administrative district of Omsk. The results of the estimated emission power, determining the multiplicity of excess for each of the considered sources, and identifying the most likely source that allowed an excess emission are presented. Locations have also been identified for confirming windward and leeward sampling from the suspected offending source. The developed method is based on the use of a method approved in Russia for calculating the dispersion of pollutants, which makes it possible to use the results obtained by Supervisory environmental authorities as an evidence base for specific sources of pollution.
