Tiyatro ve psikolojik gerçekçilik: “Kafana Tiyatro” (In-Yer-Head Theatre)
Authors: ŞENTÜRK Gamze
Published: August 2021

Küçücük bir beden içine hapsolan insan için, yaşadığı dünya bir yandan sürprizlere gebe hoş bir yer bir yandan da içinde gizem ve korku yüklü büyük, tehlikeli ve kaotik bir yerdir. İçinde paradokslar barındıran dünyada yaşam serüvenine başlayan insanın hayatını devam ettirmesi hiç de kolay değildir. İnsan hem dünyadaki her türlü dış etmene hem de bu dış etmenlerin iç dünyasında yarattığı psikolojik faktörlere karşı mücadele etmek zorunda bırakılmıştır. İnsan için yaşam dış dünya ve iç dünya arasında denge kurmakla rayında devam edebilir gibi görünmekte iken her insanın kişisel özelliklerinin farklı olması nedeniyle durum karmaşık bir hal almaktadır. Bu noktada dış dünyadan gelen her türlü tehlikeye karşı insanın yapması gereken ise hem beden sağlığını hem de ruh sağlığını korumaktır. Bu korunmayı sağlayan insan için hayat serüveni biraz daha seyrinde devam edecekken aynı korunmayı sağlayamayan veya dış dünyadan gelen tehlikelere karşı kendini koruyamayacak kadar güçsüz kalanlar için hayat daha da zorlaşmaktadır. Dış bir gerçekliğe sahip insanın tüm yaşananlar karşısında ürettiği iç gerçekliği de edebiyatın ve tiyatronun temel konularından biridir. Bu noktada tiyatroda travma, melankoli, histeri ve nostalji gibi insanın iç gerçekliği veya bilinçdışı ile ilintili tatsız anlatılar üretilmiştir ve üretilmeye de devam etmektedir. Sorbonne Üniversitesi öğretim üyelerinden Solange Ayache, 2017’de yaptığı “‘In-Yer-Head’ Theatre: Staging the Mind in Contemporary British Drama Towards a Quantum Psychopoetics of the Stage” başlıklı doktora tez çalışmasında 2000’li yıllarda İngiliz tiyatrosunda ön plana çıkan bu tatsız anlatıları, Aleks Sierz’in ‘Suratına Tiyatro’ (In-Yer-Face Theatre) kavramına gönderme yaparak ‘Kafana Tiyatro’ (In-Yer-Head Theatre) veya “Akıl Uzamı Tiyatrosu’ (Theatre of Mental Space) örnekleri olarak tanımlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, psikolojik gerçekçilik ve travma konularını merkeze koyarak ‘Kafana Tiyatro’ kavramını açıklamayı ve İngiliz tiyatrosunun deneysel ve yenilikçi oyun yazarlarından Sarah Kane (1971-1999), Sarah Daniels (1956-) ve Anthony Neilson’dan (1967-) seçilmiş örnek oyunlar üzerinden travma temelli tatsız anlatıları örneklendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Published: August 2021

This research was motivated by complaints from residents of Sekampil village who felt uncomfortable with the pollution of the river water they use for their daily life, which was allegedly due to the disposal of the company's factory waste into the river. On the other hand, the company wants to provide social responsibility or CSR grants. Public Relations is the company's bridge to communicate with the Sekampil community. The purpose of this study is to explain CSR and the role of public relations in this situation. The study found that the first implementation of corporate social responsibility at PT. Citra Sawit Harum has generally been implemented based on the applicable provisions, namely Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies and Government Regulation Number 47 of 2012 concerning Social and Environmental Responsibility of Limited Liability Companies as the implementation regulations. However, in Sekampil there are still shortcomings in its implementation, namely the limited number of scholarships and community development. Although, overall, it has had a positive influence on the community around the company. In the future, the company must be more effective in carrying out social responsibility so that the community around the company does not feel disadvantaged by the existence of this limited liability company.

Penerapan 7P sebagai Strategi Pemasaran Pendidikan Tinggi Islam
Authors: Neneng Hasanah
Published: August 2021

Competition between job seekers is very high, this is evidenced by the high unemployment rate recorded by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recently which released Indonesia's labor conditions as of February 2019. Data shows the unemployment rate fell to 5.01 percent or decreased by 50 thousand people over the past year. The Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) as of February 2019 was 6.82 million people. Judging from the declining unemployment rate, but when viewed from the level of education of diploma and university graduates more and more are not working. The researcher uses a qualitative-naturalistic approach with the aim of knowing the projections of promotion of Islamic higher education through 7P. Through this qualitative approach, it is hoped that a picture of the quality, social reality and perceptions of the research target will be raised without being polluted by formal measurements. The naturalistic approach demands data collection in a natural setting. With this concept, the researcher strives for the presence of the researcher not to change the situation or behavior of the person being studied.
Liberdade na obra de F.A Hayek e John Rawls
Authors: De Freitas Faisst Alexandre
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo compara o conceito de liberdade nas obras de Friedrich Hayek e John Rawls. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar comparativamente tais conceitos, com vista no âmbito político jurídico, assim como as suas concepções de liberalismo. Partindo de elementos comuns, analisamos o conceito de liberdade em Hayek, conforme as obras O caminho da servidão (1945) e Constitution of Liberty (1960), e o conceito enunciado por Rawls, conforme as obras Uma teoria de justiça (1971) e Liberalismo Político (1993). Concluímos que, embora ambos estejam dentro da ampla tradição do liberalismo, divergem em pontos importantes, o que aproxima Rawls da democracia deliberativa e Hayek do libertarianismo.

The article discusses the approach to ensuring the satisfaction of consumers of educational services in the quality management system (QMS) of the university in the context of a risk-based approach. The problems connected with identification and resolution of personal risks of the parties interested in educational services are investigated. The analysis of tools for identifying personal risks of consumers and their transformation into the characteristics of educational services is carried out. The expediency of using the proposed «Consumer risks» method, which is a modification of the «Consumer Voice» method known in quality management and allows extrapolating the personal risks of interested parties into the requirements and then into the characteristics of educational services expressed in professional terminology that is understandable for implementation by the university management, is argued. The procedure of statistical substantiation of managerial decision-making on the priority of choosing the implementation of the characteristics of educational services extrapolated from the personal risks of consumers is proposed. The considered approach allows not only to ensure the satisfaction of consumers of educational services, but also to anticipate their expectations.

Is the China-effect real? Ideational change and the political contestation of Chinese state-led investment in Europe
Authors: Babic Milan , Dixon Adam
Published: August 2021

Chinese outwards investment is increasing in its relevance for the global economy; and its effects on host states are increasingly being scrutinized globally. While European policy-making was ambiguous about the question of hosting Chinese state-led investment in the early 2010s, we can observe a recent surge of protectionist legal measures across Europe. What explains this trend among different European countries? Through the lens of incremental ideational change, we hypothesize that the rise of China as a global investor shifts the perceptions of policy-makers away from being a source of investment towards a potential threat to national security. We argue that this China-effect affects advanced European economies similarly. We provide evidence by studying the shift in perceptions among policy-makers in a coordinated and a liberal market economy, Germany and the UK. By drawing on document analysis and expert interviews, we unpack the policy processes in both countries in the last decade. Despite being two dissimilar cases, both show a similar outcome in increasingly curbing Chinese state-led investment on the grounds of national security reasons. Our results add important insights to recent International Political Economy discussions on the “geopoliticization” of European trade and investment rules in the face of a rising China.
Digital culture
Authors: Acerbi Alberto
Published: August 2021

The diffusion of digital technologies triggered a radical departure from previous modalities of cultural transmission but, at the same time, general characteristics of human cultural evolution and cognition influence these developments. In this chapter, I will explore some areas where the links between cultural evolution research and digital media seem more promising. As cultural evolution-inspired research on internet phenomena is still limited, these areas represent suggestions and links with works in other disciplines more than reviews of past research in cultural evolution. These include topics such as the online effects of social influence and the spread of information online; how digital media could enhance cumulative culture; the differences between online and offline cultural transmission. I will then consider possible future directions: the influence of different affordances in different media supporting cultural transmission; the role of producers of cultural traits; and, finally, the effects on cultural dynamics of algorithms selecting information.
External knowledge transfer deployment inside a simple double agent Viterbi algorithm
Authors: Baklouti Zied
Published: August 2021

We consider in this paper deploying external knowledge transfer inside a simple double agent Viterbi algorithm which is an algorithm firstly introduced by the author in his preprint "Hidden Markov Based Mathematical Model dedicated to Extract Ingredients from Recipe Text". The key challenge of this work lies in discovering the reason why our old model does have bad performances when it is confronted with estimating ingredient state for unknown words and see if deploying external knowledge transfer directly on calculating state matrix could be the solution instead of deploying it only on back propagating step.
Adding Standards and Procedures to the Prevention Services Clearinghouse Handbook on the Transparency, Openness, and Reproducibility of Research on Programs and Services to Enhance Support for Children and Families and Prevent Foster Care Placements
Authors: Grant Sean , Mayo-Wilson Evan , Supplee Lauren
Published: August 2021

The credibility of Prevention Services Clearinghouse designations of programs and services as “promising,” “supported,” and “well supported” are threatened by the prevalence of questionable research practices (e.g., selective non-reporting of results) in the bodies of evidence that the Clearinghouse reviews. Internationally accepted standards for reporting and interpreting the results of systematic reviews of evidence—including the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE)—recommend that reviews take steps to mitigate bias associated with these questionable research practices. Moreover, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) policies require that contractors and grantees engage in transparent, open, and reproducible research. We propose that the Clearinghouse adopt standards to mitigate the effects of these questionable research practices, which would be consistent with international guidelines and with complementary HHS policies and procedures.
Curiosity Helps: Growth In Need for Cognition Bidirectionally Predicts Future Reduction In Anxiety and Depression Symptoms Across 10 Years
Authors: Zainal Nur Hani , Newman Michelle G.
Published: August 2021

Theorists (Cacioppo, Petty, Feinstein, & Jarvis, 1996) have proposed that persons with diminished motivation to actively and systematically seek out, consider, and think about corrective information (i.e., low need for cognition; NFC) are vulnerable to encounter elevated anxiety and depression across long periods. Simultaneously, based on the scar theory (Allemand, Grünenfelder-Steiger, & Flückiger, 2018; Schmidt, Lerew, & Joiner, 2000), increased depression and anxiety could relate to lower trait NFC across time, by compromising analytical thinking, goal-directed pursuits, and reality testing skills. However, most prior studies used cross-sectional designs which preclude causal inferences. In addition, longitudinal studies on this topic thus far applied ordinary least squares regression or latent growth curve models, which permits between-person but not within-person inferences. Building on prior work, we used two advanced longitudinal structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques to test the within-person and between-person relations between NFC and depression and anxiety symptoms (DAS) measured every year, across 10 years. Random intercept-cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM; Hamaker, Kuiper, & Grasman, 2015) was used to test level-to-future level cross-lagged relations, whereas bivariate dual latent change score (BLCS; Grimm & Ram, 2018) modeling was conducted to examine change-to-future change associations. Further, both BLCS and RI-CLPM adjusted for baseline scores, prior lagged effects, regression to the mean, and between-person variances, as well as minimized measurement error. Participants comprised community-dwelling adults (n = 6,750) in the Longitudinal Internet Survey Study (LISS) (Scherpenzeel, Das, Ester, & Kaczmirek, 2010). RI-CLPM showed that within persons, lower prior level of NFC was significantly related to higher level of NFC at the future adjacent time-point (d = -0.852), and vice versa (d = -0.498) over 10 years. Similarly, the BLCS model demonstrated that within persons, greater 1-year reduction in NFC was notably associated with larger 1-year increase in DAS at the next time-lag across 10 years (d = -0.631), and conversely (d = -0.519). Moreover, within the RI-CLPM, a significant between-person cross-sectional result emerged, such that higher DAS was associated with lower trait NFC (d = -1.738). The results suggested that targeting NFC may treat or prevent the emergence of depression and anxiety disorders. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques (e.g., cognitive reframing, behavioral activation) can be augmented to enhance NFC by helping patients engage in self-talk in curious ways as well as to connect them with work, hobbies, and activities that instill joy and excitement. Other theoretical and practical implications for the clinical and educational psychological sciences were discussed.
Comparing the structure and function of social-cognition-related brain areas in bisexual, heterosexual, and homosexual women and men
Authors: Klimaj Victoria , Safron Adam , Sylva David , Rosenthal A.M. , Li Meng , Walter Martin , Bailey Michael
Published: August 2021

A small number of studies have examined neuroanatomical differences between heterosexual and homosexual men and women. These studies have yielded mixed support for the hypothesis that homosexual individuals possess sex-atypical neural anatomy. However, in addition to differing along dimensions of sex-typicality, non-heterosexual individuals’ brains may be different in other ways, potentially as a result of differences in experience. One way in which sexual minorities may differ from others is in their social experiences. Bisexual individuals in particular may occupy unique social niches and experience complex social environments as a result of sexual and romantic interactions with both men and women, and potentially also in terms of having a less-widely-recognized sexual identity than heterosexual and homosexual individuals. Based on this idea, we hypothesized that bisexual individuals may show increased gray matter volume and activity in two social-cognition-related areas of the brain: the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) and the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC). Contrary to our hypotheses, neither brain structure nor brain activity in the rTPJ and dmPFC were significantly greater in bisexual individuals than in heterosexual and homosexual individuals. Instead, we found larger rTPJ volumes in heterosexual women than in homosexual women. We also found larger relative volumes in the dmPFC in women than in men, consistent with a recent large-scale study of sex differences, and potentially indicative of sex and gender differences in social cognition.
Toward an Integrative Approach to Nonverbal Personality Detection: Connecting Psychological and Artificial Intelligence Research.
Authors: Cannata Davide , Breil Simon Mats , Back Mitja , Lepri Bruno , O'Hora Denis
Published: August 2021

Our first impressions of the people we meet are the subject of considerable interest, academic and non-academic. Such initial estimates of another’s personality (e.g., their sociality or agreeableness) are vital, since they enable us to predict the outcomes of interactions (e.g., can we trust them?). Nonverbal behaviors are a key medium through which personality is expressed and detected. The character and reliability of these expression and detection processes have been investigated within two major fields: Psychological research on personality judgments accuracy and Artificial Intelligence research on personality computing. Communication between these fields has, however, been infrequent. In the present perspective, we summarize the contributions and open questions of both fields and propose an integrative approach to combine their strengths and overcome their limitations. The integrated framework will enable novel research programs, such as (i), identifying which detection tasks better suit humans or computers, (ii), harmonizing the nonverbal features extracted by humans and computers, and (iii), integrating human and artificial agents in hybrid systems.
Canadian Mapping of Autism-Specific Supports for Postsecondary Students
Authors: Ames Megan , Coombs Courtney , Duerksen Kari , Vincent Jonathan , McMorris Carly
Published: August 2021

Background. Many autistic students have a variety of strengths and the desire to succeed in postsecondary education. Nonetheless, most autistic students report not receiving adequate support in postsecondary education to ensure their success. Students also report difficulty in navigating complex institutional systems. We conducted an environmental scan of autism-specific supports (e.g., website information, transition programs, peer mentoring) available to autistic students within Canada’s publicly-funded postsecondary institutions. We also examined distribution of autism-specific supports across institutional type (i.e., university, junior college, technical/vocational) and geographic region.Method. A Boolean search strategy was used to collect data from institutional websites.Results. Of the 258 publicly-funded postsecondary institutions in Canada, only 15 institutions (6%) had at least one support. Of the 15 institutions identified, the most common autism-specific support included information on the institution’s website (67%), followed by transition to university support (47%), social group(s) (33%), peer mentoring (27%), specialist tutoring and support with daily living (20%), transition to employment support (13%), and student-led societies and autistic student advocate (7%). In general, universities and institutions in Central Canada (i.e., Ontario) had a higher number of provisions than expected.Conclusions. There are promising advances with respect to autism-specific supports in post-secondary institutions across Canada. We recommend further research to better understand how students access these supports and more comprehensive evaluations of such supports, specifically informed by collaborations with autistic students.
Curiosity: A behavioral biology perspective
Authors: Scrivner Coltan
Published: August 2021

Since Berlyne’s groundbreaking work in the 1960’s, curiosity has been a popular topic for psychological research. Despite a rich history of research, scientists have not been able to agree upon a single definition or taxonomy of curiosity. These diverging perspectives have led to a breadth of research that has yet to be integrated under one framework. Moreover, most research on curiosity has focused on neural mechanisms and ontogenetic characteristics, while the evolutionary aspects of curiosity have received little attention. I propose that research on curiosity can benefit from an evolutionary perspective, and more broadly from a biological perspective on information-gathering behavior. In this chapter, I synthesize the literature on curiosity from the perspective of behavioral biology – i.e., Tinbergen’s four questions. The behavioral biology framework provides a powerful lens through which questions about behavior can be asked and iterative empirical work and theoretical construction can take place. In particular, I argue that evolutionary perspectives on curiosity can help identify the “joints” of nature at which curiosity may be carved. By identifying the function of different types of
The Theme of Resistance in Rabindranath Tagore’s Malini: A Humanistic Perspective
Authors: Regmi Dipendra Raj
Published: August 2021

This paper explores the themes of resistance emerged in a Hindu kingdom after the pervasion of a new religion namely the Buddhism in Rabindranath Tagore’s play Malini. The primary conflict arises when princess Malini follows the Buddhism in the land of orthodox Hindus. Her conversion and the conflicts that it drives, thus, is the major issue of this paper that invites a systematic exploration with the perspective of resistance theory. The ground of resistance solidifies with the oppositional feelings, beliefs, and the milieu of rebellions. Thus, these inciting aspects are enough to give birth to the resistance. As a qualitative applied research, this paper draws on ideas and theories of resistance postulated by the scholars like Kasper Masse, Miguel Tamen, Jocelyn A. Hollander, and Rachel L. Einwohner to observe the revolt and resistance in the play. Malini and Kemankar stand as the representatives of their respective religious ideologies, and their struggles against the “power bloc” expose the nature of the resistance. This resistance remains as the harbinger to spread the voice of humanity throughout the world. Tagore's idea of universal humanism sustains if only the religious dogmatism and fanaticism stop to judge, discriminate, and lynch people. It is only the resistance to such dogmatism that gives birth to the voice of humanity when the rationality rules the world.
Promotion of Nationalism through Caste: A Study of Rabindra Nath Tagore’s Gora
Authors: Kandel Bhanu Bhakta Sharma
Published: August 2021

The original idea of caste system was engineering the society on the basis of labor division by providing every sector of society a distinct and important role to make the Hindu society an integrated whole making every group in the society depending on every other or the society was engineered to be completely inter-dependent, but the problem is that it has been misused as a means of social exploitation, oppression that has led the society towards mutual hatred and disintegration. The main objective of this research article is to find out how Gora, the protagonist of Rabindra Nath Tagore’s novel Gora, has used the idea of caste division as a means to promote nationalism among the people. Theoretical insights of liberal nationalism are used to analyze the primary text with the help of theoretical insights of Edward Soja’s ‘Thirdspace’. The article examines and analyzes how one can help strengthen social integration by respecting the others and offering the people justice even though difference is inevitable among the people living in a society. The article concludes that caste system can be exercised as a means of cultural nationalism by celebrating the difference among the people and respecting the jobs done by others.
The Science of Religion in the Vedic Texts: A Physico-Theological Perspective
Authors: Chalise Keshav Raj
Published: August 2021

Vedas, in common perception, are understood as purely cultural texts even to the academic province with the logic that they provide purely religious and theological knowledge, however the quest of spiritual truth is the prime concern of Vedas. The real problem on such understanding is that the scientific part of the Vedas is always under the shadow. This is partly from the Vedic scholars, as they have not properly revealed the scientific part of the Vedic knowledge; and partly it is the weakness of scientists because they have heavy concentration just on the facts that they have little time to keep eyes on the Vedic science. The question is always unaddressed whether religion has science. This study tries to unearth the part of science veiled within the Vedic texts, especially seeing the Vedic science of ecology, biodiversity, physics and cosmology using physico-theology as the tool of observation.

Neo-Traditional Medicines: Ethnographic Contributions to Conceptual Definition
Authors: Carlessi Pedro , Ricardo Ayres José
Published: August 2021

Since the end of 1970, the World Health Organization has encouraged the development of public policies that expand the approach to care and the therapeutic possibilities offered by its member states beyond technoscientific health care. In Brazil, the institutionalization of this approach is related to the promotion of popular and traditional knowledge associated with the usage of medicinal plants. With this convergence as an argumentative horizon, in this ethnography we examine the institutionalization of pharmaceutical services that have become known in Brazilian public health policy as living pharmacies. This term has been mobilized throughout the history of phytotherapy in Brazil and refers to the possibility of instituting the use of medications that expand care approaches and problem resolution possibilities beyond the domain of the biomedical sciences, evoking alliances with so-called traditional and popular knowledge and practices. For this, we propose and discuss the concept of neo-traditional medicines as a comprehensive-interpretative category, verifying the approximation and distancing points assigned to it in contemporaneous anthropological literature. Beyond the domain of science over other fields of knowledge, we argue in favour of this category in order to present new arrangements and social dynamics that define Brazil’s medication policies.
“If We Can Make a Cure of Him”: Lyrical Grenfell in the St. Anthony Casebooks, 1906
Authors: Kidd Monica
Published: August 2021

Narrative-based physician records contain much more than observerless data and diagnoses. Indeed, a “case,” the basic currency of medical communication, can be seen as a literary genre, much like a novel or a poem, and given close readings for author voice, tradition, and influences. In this article, I describe my initial encounter with Dr. Wilfred Grenfell’s casebooks in a hospital basement in St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, and my subsequent engagement with them as both a physician and a poet. Adopting Bleakley and Marshall’s definition of medical lyricism as the impulse that “draws our attention to delicacy, tenderness and the joyous, and to verve, desire, eroticism, the fecund, abundance and generation,” I argue that Grenfell’s approach to medicine in early 20th-century Newfoundland and Labrador was both a product of his scientific training and his enculturation at the end of the Victorian period.

The next section reviews principles, variations, thermal conditions, axial load calculation, material flow, and applications of direct extrusion and indirect extrusion, with examples provided for extrusion of aluminum and copper alloys. Next, the chapter focuses on the process principles, advantages, and applications of conventional hydrostatic extrusion and thick film processes. This is followed by sections providing information on the special extrusion processes, namely conform process and cable sheathing. The chapter ends with a discussion on direct and indirect tube extrusion.
Harnessing Natural Products of Marine Origin for Induction of Immunogenic Cell Death
Authors: Keerthi Raja Manikanda Raja , Chen Kaylee , Keerthi Raja Manikanda Raja
Published: August 2021

Conventional cancer chemotherapy aims to kill highly proliferating tumor cells and is often immunosuppressive due to its off-target side effects. However, certain cytotoxic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs can kill tumor cells by triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD). Cells undergoing ICD release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to activate robust innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. Despite many compounds being able to trigger one or two hallmarks of ICD, very few bona fide ICD inducers are available. Identification of bioactive natural ICD inducers with low side effects and high tolerability represents a priority in biomedical research. In this review, we discuss the various strategies to regulate the hallmarks of ICD and enhance immunogenic potentials. We focus on evaluating the potential of natural compounds of marine origin to amplify the effects of ICD and therefore serve as novel therapeutic anti-cancer agents alone or in combination with existent chemo- or immune-therapies.

The article considers the forecast of the International Labor Organization on the unemployment rate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The real indicators of unemployment in Ukraine in terms of months during the introduced quarantine in 2020 are analyzed and these data are compared with the indicators for the same period in 2019. The main possible ways of preserving jobs with compliance with quarantine measures, as well as minimizing labor costs and maintaining the level of productivity. Each of the methods listed in the article is described. Emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of their documentation at enterprises. The accounting of payroll calculations under different conditions during quarantine has been studied. In particular, a detailed study of the payment of various types of leave during quarantine, their documentation and conditions of granting. Particular attention is paid to the provision of free vacations, its duration and features of extension. The issue of accrual of the Unified social contribution when granting an employee vacations without pay is considered. The peculiarities of payment of part-time employees and employees transferred to shift work during quarantine are compared. Peculiarities of overtime pay for hourly forms of payment have been studied. Remuneration for remote work and the the regime under which the performance of official duties may be performed are analyzed. The possibility of providing employees with other benefits for work is considered. Possible payments to employees, and also features of accrual and payment of taxes during downtime are highlighted. The views of scientists on this subject are analyzed. The experience of other countries on the issue of payment in a pandemic is considered. Suggestions are given on possible measures and details of accounting for payroll during the quarantine period. The form of the internal economic reporting for control of the used and unused days of vacations is offered. Conclusions are made on the information presented in the article.

Study Objective: To study the incidence of cryoglobulinemia (CGE) in chronic hepatitis C infection (hepatitis C infection) and to analyse the characteristics of chronic hepatitis C infection with CGE in Belarusian patients. Study Design: Open non-randomised observational study. Materials and Methods. The study included 773 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (in Minsk). The patients had their anti-hepatitis C antibodies, chronic hepatitis C RNA and virus genotype measured; blood cryoglobulins identified; demographic and epidemiological data collected; and complete blood assay and biochemical blood assay performed. Study Results. 282 (36.5%) subjects had positive blood cryoglobulins test, while 491 (63.5%) patients had negative result. CGE and non-CGE groups had comparable sex, BMI and infection duration parameters. CGE patients had statistically more surgeries (р < 0.001), clinical syndromes (including asthenovegetative, arthralgic and dyspeptic syndromes, р < 0.001 in all cases), hepatic fibrosis F3 (р < 0.05), hepatic cirrhosis (р < 0.001), and extrahepatic diseases (EHDs); more often they had genotype 3 of hepatitis C infection (р < 0.05) and low replicative activity of the virus (р < 0.05). Conclusion. The incidence of CGE in the study population made 36.5%. CGE patients had more pronounced hepatic process chronization, frequenter EHDs, more genotype 3 cases, and lower replicative activity of the virus. Keywords: hepatitis С, hepatic cirrhosis, cryoglobulinemia, extrahepatic diseases.

Objective of the Review: To discuss changes in intestinal microbiota in various diseases. Key Points. Microbial intestinal imbalance plays an important role in pathogenesis and/or progression of a number of diseases, namely of Clostridium difficile-associated disorders, intestinal inflammations, obesity, colorectal cancer, autistic disorders and other. Moreover, therapies involving faecal microbiota transplantation, use of pro- and prebiotics, metabiotics proved efficient in management of some of the above disorders. Conclusion. So far, some mechanisms have been explored which explain possible participation of intestinal microbiota in pathogenesis of colorectal cancer, intestine inflammation, type 2 diabetes milletus, and hepatic disorders. Still, additional information is required to allow using available facts in clinical practice. Keywords: microbiota, microbiome, faecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics.
A Psychological Exegesis of Displacement in Bapsi Sidhwa's Novel The Bride: A Sociolinguistic Analysis
Authors: Khan Hashim , Khan Khalid Azim , Umer Muhammad
Published: August 2021

This reports the psychological perspective of displacement in the English Pakistani novel The Bride (also published as The Pakistani Bride), written by a Pakistani American novelist Bapsi Sidhwa. This is a sociolinguistic study with the employment of Close Reading (CR) and Systematic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The study involves social, psychological and semantic aspects with the aim to present the psychological impact of displacement on the personal and social life of the characters. Close-Reading provides the analysis of the novel and the author. Systematic Functional Linguistics provides context and semantics as tools to analyze the historical and conceptual background of the novel. The findings of the study present mixed results, supporting the supposition that displacement affects the psychological state of the characters and disturbs their individual functionality. It partially proves that their social functionality is equally affected. It may be because people are more careful in playing their social roles.
Analysis of non-uniform hexagonal cross-sections for thin-walled functionally graded beams using artificial neural networks

We study static mechanical behavior of non-uniform hexagonal cross-sections for thin-walled functionally graded beams using a non-traditional computational approach based on artificial neural network. One of the main objectives of our approach is to save the computational cost for the optimization process, which is usually time-consuming by using traditional methods such as finite element method (FEM). In this study, 1000 data sets randomly generated by the FEM through iterations are used for the training process to get optimal weights. Based on these obtained optimal weights, beam behaviors under the changes in material distribution through thickness could then be predicted. In this model, the ANN's inputs are the gradation index of the power-law distribution and thickness, while the outputs are compliance and beam displacements. The computed results are verified against those derived from the FEM.
The legal nature of the deputy mandate in the theory of Constitutional Law
Authors: Gutorova Alla N.
Published: August 2021

The question of the legal nature of the deputy mandate in constitutional law has been discussed for several centuries. The consolidation in the basic laws of the states of provisions on mandatory or free deputy mandate was conditioned by historical events and the level of development of civil society. Based on the legal nature of the deputy mandate, the role of the deputy is also determined (the attorney who receives instructions from the voters and is responsible to them or the representative of the people, whose connection with the voter is terminated at the elections). But at the same time, the establishment of a free deputy mandate today does not guarantee the permanence of its legal nature in the future.
On the properties of criminal justice as a kind of social reality
Authors: Goltsov Andrey T.
Published: August 2021

This article deals with the fundamental issues of Russian criminal procedure law related to the purpose of criminal proceedings, its social nature and the "laws" of its functioning as a super-complex object of management. The author formulates the sociological concept of criminal justice as a special kind of social education, the "members" of which are organizationally and functionally separate, autonomous subjects of criminal procedure. The paper emphasizes the connection between the purpose of criminal justice as a broad social system and the tasks facing the participants of criminal procedure relations. The conclusions that the author comes to as a result of the research are formulated separately.
