Vibration separation of multiple mixed particle curves based on image recognition and machine learning
Authors: Yanyan Zhou
Published: March 2021

The motion characteristics of particulate matter are very wonderful. With the development of science and technology, the motion of granular materials has gradually become a hot topic, which has attracted the attention of many scientists and experts. The research of granular matter has gradually become specialized and systematic. With the gradual improvement of the system, a frontier research field particle physics has been formed. Under the combined action of external force and internal force, particles can reflect the properties of fluid, but in the process of flow, it will show different size separation phenomenon from the fluid. The problem of particle separation was formally introduced into the field of physics in 1987. In reality, the existence of particles is not unique. In view of this, the author makes a systematic research and Analysis on the behavior and factors of vibration.

Authors: Ansar Wazib , Goswami Saptarsi , Chakrabarti Amlan , Chakraborty Basabi
Published: March 2021

Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) has become a trending research domain due to its ability to transform lives as well as the technical challenges involved in it. In this paper, a unique set of rules has been formulated to extract aspect-opinion phrases. It helps to reduce the average sentence length by 84% and the complexity of the text by 50%. A modified rank-based version of Term-Frequency - Inverse-Document-Frequency (TF-IDF) has been proposed to identify significant aspects. An innovative word representation technique has been applied for aspect categorization which identifies both local as well as global context of a word. For sentiment classification, pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) has been applied as it helps to capture long-term dependencies and reduce the overhead of training the model from scratch. However, BERT has drawbacks like quadratic drop in efficiency with an increase in sequence length which is limited to 512 tokens. The proposed methodology mitigates these drawbacks of a typical BERT classifier accompanied by a rise in efficiency along with an improvement of 8% in its accuracy. Furthermore, it yields enhanced performance and efficiency compared to other state-of-the-art methods. The assertions have been established through extensive analysis upon movie reviews and Sentihood data-sets.

PURPOSE: Currently, there is a paucity of studies on the prevalence of Elimination Disorders among Iranian children and adolescents. Due to the ongoing need to monitor the health status of these children and adolescents, the present study aims to investigate the prevalence of Elimination Disorders and comorbid disorders in Iranian children and adolescents. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 29,781 children and adolescents age 6 to 18 years old were selected and studied from all the provinces in Iran. The sampling was carried out by employing a multistage cluster sampling method, and several clinical psychologists using semi-structured interviews collected the data. Furthermore, clinical psychologists collected demographic information (including information about gender, age, place of residence, education level, and parental education level). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. RESULTS: Generally, the prevalence of Elimination Disorders was found to be 5.4% covering both enuresis (p= 5.4, 95% CI = 5.1–5.7) and encopresis (p= 0.13, 95% CI = 0.09–0.2). The total prevalence of comorbid disorders was 38%, and among the comorbid disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (p= 11, 95% CI = 9.5–12.7) and Separation Anxiety (p= 10.6, 95% CI = 9.1–12.2) were the most prevalent. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of Elimination Disorders in Iranian children and adolescents is moderate compared to similar studies elsewhere. As for comorbid disorders, ADHD and Separation Anxiety were found to be the most prevalent disorders. Since Elimination Disorders coexist with psychiatric disorders in children, further studies of these comorbidities may give better insight into the treatment and prognosis of Elimination Disorders.

Tackling virtual production
Authors: Falkinger Josef , Huber Elisa , Chalupa Johannes
Published: March 2021

This paper is an attempt to contribute to the discussion on multinational enterprises shifting certain economic activities to special purpose entities abroad for reasons of tax optimisation. The authors argue that a transfer of production to a special purpose entity abroad permitted by tax law is not necessarily a transfer of production in an economic sense. Special purpose vehicles can be involved in production processes from a legal point of view without producing any goods or services in reality – a phenomenon the authors call ‘virtual production’. Thus, simply mirroring the legal transactions in national accounts may result in a distorted representation of economic reality. Unfortunately, the System of National Accounts in its current version as well as other existing guidelines lack clear guidance in order to distinguish virtual from real economic activity in the context of special purpose vehicles. This paper offers a proposal for improvement of existing definitions and concepts.
Development and calibration of drum-based rolling resistance testing machine for manual wheelchair components
Authors: Ott Joseph , Marcus M. Mendel , Henderson Travis , Wilson-Jene Holly , Lee London , Pearlman Jonathan
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND:

Manual wheelchair users are at a high risk of repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and rotator cuff tears due to propelling their wheelchair for mobility. Rolling resistance (RR) is one of the key forces that leads to increased propulsion forces and risk of injuries.

OBJECTIVE:

To better understand the factors contributing to RR, we iteratively designed, developed, and validated a drum-based testing machine and test method.

METHODS:

As part of the validation of the system, we tested and compared 4 manual wheelchair wheels under a range of conditions including camber, toe in/out, tire pressure, surfaces, and speed. A treadmill was employed to simulate flat ground RR.

RESULTS:

A machine was effectively designed, developed, and tested to measure RR. Tire type, surfaces, and toe were found to be the largest contributors to RR. Comparison of the drum-based system to flat ground revealed that an offset can be used to calculate overground RR from drum measurements.

CONCLUSIONS:

Ongoing work includes performing a comprehensive analysis of the degree to which each factor contributes to RR of commonly used casters and rear-wheels so that the wheelchair sector can work to reduce RR and the associated risk of repetitive strain injuries.
Community-based public transportation training with the integration of assistive technology: A pilot program for young adults with intellectual disability
Authors: McDonnell Alora , Benham Sara , Fleming Catherine , Raphael Amy
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND:

Young adults with an intellectual disability require transportation to participate in work and leisure, however reports on specific public transportation training programs, use of assistive technology supports, and outcomes are limited.

OBJECTIVE:

This pilot study was designed to explore if a transportation training program which utilized technology aids decreased the amount travel assistance required. A secondary objective was to observe and describe the specific assistive technology utilized while traveling within the community.

METHODS:

Eight individualized training sessions were administered within the community with the integration of technology aids and travel skill training through a facilitated learning model. The Pre & Post Travel Training Test was administered pre-test and post-test.

RESULTS:

The paired [Formula: see text] test ([Formula: see text] 10) revealed a significant increase in scores upon post-test ([Formula: see text] 0.00011), indicating a decrease in assistance required for travel. The most preferred technology aid was individualized, printed Google Maps directions (60%) followed by smartphone Apps (40%) and visual social stories (40%).

CONCLUSIONS:

All participants increased independence in public transportation travel skills. Ample opportunity to trial low to high technology aids should be considered. Through this initial pilot, possible greater availability of access to work and community opportunities may result after community-based transportation training.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Fabrication of complete dentures by computer-aided designing and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques are now common. Subtractive and Additive are the two principal CAD-CAM techniques used for this purpose. However, studies that evaluated the occlusal forces by CDs manufactured by these techniques are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To compare the occlusal forces in complete dentures fabricated by additive, subtractive and conventional techniques with different occlusal schemes, using computerized occlusal force analysis system [Tech-Scan III (T-Scan III)]. METHODS: Three groups (Gr) were made on the basis of techniques of fabrication of CDs: Conventional CDs (CCD), Subtractive CDs (SCD), and Additive CDs (ACD). Each group CDs were further divided into three sub groups based on occlusion schemes: bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO), lingualized occlusion (LO) and mono plane occlusion (MO). A total of 45 CDs were made: 15 in each group with 5 CDs of each occlusal scheme. For all samples, occlusal force analysis (percentage of occlusal force applied on the right and left sides of the arch, centralization of forces and percentage of maximum occlusal force) was done using computerized occlusal analysis system: T-Scan III. Univariate regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to find the effects of the technique of fabrication and occlusion scheme over the occlusal forces (p< 0.05). RESULTS: The intergroup comparison revealed statistically significant differences (p< 0.01) in right-left side force difference, maximum bite force in CDs fabricated by various techniques and with different occlusion schemes. Though the effect of occlusion scheme was more than the technique of fabrication (according to effect size estimation). The maximum force difference between right-left side was observed in combination of CCD technique and MO scheme (36.88 ± 2.82 N). Furthermore, the maximum bite force was observed for SCD technique (89.14 ± 6.08 N) and LO scheme (92.17 ± 3.22 N). In comparison to ACD, the chances of centre of force out of ellipse was 2.53 time more in CCS and 0.75 times less in SCD techniques and in comparison to MO, the chances of out of ellipse was 0.298 times less in BBO and 0.396 times less in LO schemes, though these chances were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The digital CDs fabricated by subtractive technique were proved to be superior to additive technique in terms of occlusal force analysis on tested parameters. However, further research is needed on patients to determine the exact superiority of one technique over the other.
Chronic pontine strokes: Diffusion tensor imaging of corticospinal tract indicates the prognosis in terms of motor outcome
Authors: Xue Qian , Yang Xiao-Han , Teng Gao-Jun , Hu Shu-Dong
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate relationship between the diffusion indexes of corticospinal tract (CST) and the neurological motor outcomes in chronic pontine stroke patients.

METHODS:

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is performed in 27 patients with chronic pontine stroke. Fractional anisotropy (FA) values along the CST area, the track number, and the CST length are measured. Neurological and motor outcomes are evaluated based on Fugl-meyer (FM), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel index (BI), and modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores. The relationships between FA ratios (rFAs) in the CST of stroke subjects and their clinical motor scores are analyzed through Spearman’s correlation analysis. Then, diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) is performed to show the injury degree of CST.

RESULTS:

First, FA values are decreased in the infarct area, cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of the internal capsule, and precentral gyrus compared with those in the contralateral side. The number of CST is decreased in the ipsilateral side of the infarct. Second, rFAs in the cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of the internal capsule, and CST rnum correlate positively with FM scores ( r = 0.824, 0.672, 0.651, p < 0.001) and negatively with mRS scores ( r = –0.835, –0.604, –0.645, p≤0.001). Third, the injury degree of CST correlates negatively with FM scores ( r = –0.627, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The study demonstrates that rFAs in the cerebral peduncle, posterior limb of the internal capsule, and CST rnum associate with motor outcome, suggesting that DTI may be applicable for outcome evaluation.
Electromagnetic field transformation from a surface closed around the antenna to its aperture
Authors: Anyutin Nikolay V.
Published: March 2021

The article proposes a direct algorithm for reconstruction the electromagnetic field at the antenna aperture, which can be used to solve problems of diagnostics and spatial filtering. The algorithm is based on the solution of Maxwell's equations in the form of advanced potentials of the electromagnetic field. It is shown that following from it advanced electromagnetic waves are equivalent to retarded electromagnetic waves when the parameters of the medium are stationary and linear. The direct algorithm is formulated as the multiplication of the transformation operator matrix by the known vector of the electromagnetic field on a closed surface. In this case, the transformation outward (far field) or inward (aperture) of the surface is described by the same operator and differs only in the signs of the input quantities. Unlike the known ones, the direct algorithm does not require scanning the electromagnetic field on canonical surfaces or solving a large system of integral equations. This makes it optimal for use in new near-field measurement systems based on industrial robots, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc. Verification of the developed algorithm using experimental data has shown the possibility of reconstruction the normalized distribution of the electric field strength at the antenna aperture with an error less than 2 dB.

TEATROS INDEPENDIENTES Y FEMINISMOS
Authors:   CONICET – UBA– Instituto de Artes del Espectáculo / Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, Fukelman María
Published: March 2021

En los últimos años, los feminismos han crecido de ma- nera exponencial en la Argentina. Este desarrollo vertiginoso tuvo su correlación en la academia. Teniendo en cuenta la transversalidad de los estudios de género, entendemos que esta perspectiva también debe ser considerada a la hora de analizar al teatro independiente, circuito teatral de gran reconocimiento, especialmente en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Mientras que, por un lado, los estudios históricos deben rescatar del olvido a las mujeres que engrandecieron al teatro independiente de las primeras décadas —poco estudiadas e invisibilizadas por el modelo heteropatriarcal de la sociedad que nos contiene—, los estudios del pre- sente tienen que preguntarse por el rol de la mujer (y más géneros) en el teatro independiente de la actualidad. Es necesario que el teatro in- dependiente sea abordado y construido con una perspectiva de género, y eso implica, además, repensar las formas de vinculación y construc- ción. En el presente trabajo nos proponemos hacer un recorrido por las coincidencias que encontramos entre el movimiento feminista y el mo- vimiento de teatros independientes, indagar acerca de un posible modo feminista de hacer teatro independiente, y recuperar algunas de las deu- das pendientes que hay para con ambos movimientos.
RETÓRICA ESCÉNICA Y TÉCNICA ACTORAL. PARADIGMA DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE EMPATÍA EN LA INTERFAZ ESCENA/ESPECTADORES
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Pricco Aldo Rubén
Published: March 2021

En los fenómenos teatrales la construcción de creencia estética y empatía en los espectadores resulta constitutiva. La teatrología indagó esta problemática y ha sido, desde la retórica clásica, una preocupación técnica relevante vinculada con la captura perceptual, la seducción y el impacto afectivo de los discursos escénicos. Ante la preeminencia en Ar- gentina de estudios basados en perspectivas semióticas, en este artículo se formulan, desde un punto de vista del rol de investigador-artista, las vinculaciones entre retórica y teatro en cuanto a los procedimientos de configuración de verosimilitud que permiten conformar un paradigma de la relación escena/espectadores pertinente para la interpelación de los objetos de estudio actuación teatral y puesta en escena.

Published: March 2021

Across the different periods of Jerzy Grotowski´s trajectory, from Poor Theatre to Objective Drama, the article detects and examines the close connection between action, space and place within both the con- ceptual and the practical framework of each one of them. The approach concerns, in particular, the flagship spaces and places of each period, that is, the Laboratory Theatre of Wroclaw, of Poor Theatre, the buildings and the surrounding countryside of Brzezinka, of Paratheatre, and the Barn and the Yurt of the University of Irvine, of Objective Drama. Being theYurt the only building constructed for Grotowski in his trajectory and according to his precise instructions, it deserves special attention as model space with respect to the pretensions of his work.

O etoposide é um inibidor da topoisomerase II capaz de produzir respostas objetivas em cerca de 10% das pacientes com câncer de mama metastático após a falha a esquemas convencionais. A administração oral de doses fracionadas de etoposide produz um aumento significativo do tempo de exposição dos tecidos em níveis terapêuticos deste agente, aumentando o seu índice terapêutico. Neste artigo, são descritos os resultados de um ensaio clínico de fase II com etoposide oral em doses fracionadas diárias em 20 mulheres com câncer de mama metastático refratário a múltiplos esquemas quimioterápicos. Foram elegíveis pacientes entre 18-75 anos de idade, desempenho clínico entre 0-2 (ECOG), diagnóstico histopatológico de câncer de mama, doença metastática visceral, sem disfunção de órgãos vitais e sem envolvimento do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC). A assinatura de um documento de consentimento pela paciente, segundo as normas da CONEP e do Comitê de Ética da Instituição, era condição necessária para inclusão. O conteúdo da ampola de etoposide para uso endovenoso foi administrado por via oral na dose de 20mg/m2 a cada oito horas, diluído em veículo ácido (suco de laranja ou uva), diariamente por 14 dias, seguido de sete dias de intervalo. A cada 21 dias, as pacientes foram reavaliadas quanto à toxicidade (critério do NCI-CTC) e, a cada dois ciclos (42 dias), quanto à resposta tumoral (critério da RECIST). As pacientes foram tratadas até a progressão, toxicidade limitante ou desejo próprio de interromper o tratamento. Foram incluídas 20 pacientes no estudo, tendo sido analisado um total de 55 ciclos de tratamento, com uma mediana de dois ciclos por paciente (1-10). Os efeitos adversos mais observados foram: náusea (36%), vômitos (24%), mucosite (16%) e neutropenia (14%). Neutropenia febril ocorreu em apenas um caso (2%). Não foram documentadas respostas objetivas. Entretanto, 9 pacientes apresentaram doença estável (45%), algumas com duração prolongada (30+, 21+ e 18 semanas). A mediana de duração destas estabilizações de doença foi de 15 semanas (9-30+). Em conclusão, este esquema oral fracionado de etoposide foi bem tolerado, produzindo estabilizações de doença duradouras, mas sem vantagem em termos de respostas objetivas, se comparado à sua forma de administração por via oral em dose única diária.

Published: March 2021

O câncer de esôfago (CE) é uma neoplasia com uma incidência crescente, com taxas de mortalidade próximas às taxas de incidência. Sua etiologia está associada ao tipo histológico da doença, sendo o carcinoma de células escamosas o mais comum e fortemente relacionado ao tabagismo e etilismo, e o adenocarcinoma associado ao esôfago de Barrett. Além desses fatores sabidamente conhecidos, o risco de desenvolver este tumor está aumentado em pessoas que ingerem alimentos e bebidas quentes (mate) e que possuem nutrição deficiente (hipovitaminose A, C e E); há também uma predisposição genética que ainda é pouco definida. Manifestações clínicas comuns durante a evolução dessa doença incluem: disfagia, odinofagia, desconforto retroesternal, hiporexia, náusea, vômitos, emagrecimento. Tais queixas merecem uma avaliação criteriosa, pois, quando essas se manifestam, a doença já se encontra, na maioria das vezes, em um estágio avançado, não sendo possível uma abordagem curativa destes pacientes. Os protocolos de tratamento do CE incluem cirurgia, quimioterapia e radioterapia, mas o melhor tratamento ainda é motivo de estudos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever e analisar o perfil das manifestações clínicas, a relação entre o tipo histológico e a localização, idade e comportamento metastático e terapêutica, de pacientes portadores de CE submetidos a tratamento oncológico no Centro de Oncologia e Radioisótopos (COR), Ipatinga-MG. Foi feita análise retrospectiva dos prontuários de 109 pacientes com diagnóstico de CE, de maio de 2004 a fevereiro de 2007. Para cálculos estatísticos, foi utilizado o programa Epi Info 6.04d.

O coriocarcinoma primário de ovário é um tumor raro que se origina de células germinativas, apresentando-se, na maioria das vezes, associado a outros tumores também de origem de células germinativas. Será descrito um caso de coriocarcinoma primário de ovário em uma menina de 10 anos que apresentava um quadro de sangramento vaginal e distensão abdominal. Após serem dosados os marcadores tumorais, que mostraram níveis de beta-HCG (gonadotrofina coriônica humana) e CA-125 altos, e alfafetoproteína normal, e ser realizado ultrassonografia abdominal, a paciente foi submetida a tratamento cirúrgico. O exame histopatológico da peça cirúrgica e a imunohistoquímica foram compatíveis com diagnóstico de coriocarcinoma primário de ovário. Depois da cirurgia, a paciente evoluiu mal, indo a óbito no primeiro dia de pós-operatório devido a uma embolia tumoral pulmonar. Concluiu-se, então, que essa neoplasia é bastante agressiva, causando metástase precoce na maioria dos casos e apresentando prognóstico desfavorável, principalmente em jovens abaixo de 20 anos de idade.
The Effect of Ownership Marketing Expertise on MLB Attendance and Digital Consumption
Authors: Hayduk Ted , Walker Matthew
Published: March 2021

Scholarship has established that characteristics of a firm’s upper echelon affect firm-level outcomes in a range of industries. In professional sport, firms depend on live game attendance and, increasingly, the consumption of online content to generate local revenue. The ability to drive these two revenue streams depends on a franchise’s competencies in marketing, relationship management, and brand building. In this research, we speculate those competencies start at the top, i.e., with ownership. Using upper echelons theory (UET), we hypothesize that franchises with owners who have substantial marketing expertise are better able to drive attendance and online search traffic. Using a panel dataset of 30 teams over a 10-season period, we found that ownership expertise in marketing was generative of significantly more attendance but perhaps not significantly greater online traffic. The results are discussed in the context of UET, and implications for practitioners are presented.

Published: March 2021

Despite sport rebranding becoming an emerging topic for both academia and industry, there has been a limited number of investigations on how sport rebranding influences sport fans. The aim of this study is to investigate how sport rebranding in the form of logo redesign influences fan loyalty. Through an experimental approach, the results indicate that attitude toward rebranding plays a significant role in fan response when sport rebranding occurs. Additional findings suggest that logo evaluation partially mediates the relationship between logo change and brand loyalty. This study makes significant contributions to the body of knowledge on sport rebranding by revealing how fans’ attitudes toward rebranding affects brand loyalty. The proposed model suggests directions for future sport rebranding research, and the paper provides implications for how sport marketers can use various rebranding strategies to improve rebranding outcomes and diminish negative responses from sport fans.

Sponsorship is a marketing communication tool used to increase brand awareness, brand attitudes, and sales. Sponsorship activities are realized through various media, but television has been the most important medium to deliver these activities to sport fans. More recently, however, the importance of television has been challenged via the widespread use of smartphones (i.e., second screen). Media multitasking (e.g., using a smartphone while watching television) has become a common phenomenon, and sponsorship exposure through television is affected. Therefore, this study examines how multitasking influences sponsorship effects such as brand recall and attitude towards the brand. Data was collected from 203 participants who were randomly divided into three groups: no-multitasking, low-multitasking, and high-multitasking. In addition, sport involvement was also included in the study as a moderating variable. The results indicated that multitasking negatively influenced both sponsoring brand recall and attitude toward the brand. Sport involvement positively influenced only attitude toward the brand independently. Detailed explanations and business implications are provided.

Abstract: Despite sport rebranding becoming an emerging topic for both academia and industry, there has been a limited number of investigations on how sport rebranding influences sport fans. The aim of this study is to investigate how sport rebranding in the form of logo redesign influences fan loyalty. Through an experimental approach, the results indicate that attitude toward rebranding plays a significant role in fan response when sport rebranding occurs. Additional findings suggest that logo evaluation partially mediates the relationship between logo change and brand loyalty. This study makes significant contributions to the body of knowledge on sport rebranding by revealing how fans’ attitudes toward rebranding affects brand loyalty. The proposed model suggests directions for future sport rebranding research, and the paper provides implications for how sport marketers can use various rebranding strategies to improve rebranding outcomes and diminish negative responses from sport fans.

Approaches for Solving Fully Fuzzy Rough Multi-Objective Nonlinear Programming Problems
Authors: Ammar E. , Al-Asfar A.
Published: March 2021

Practical nonlinear programming problem often encounters uncertainty and indecision due to various factors that cannot be controlled. To overcome these limitations, fully fuzzy rough approaches are applied to such a problem. In this paper, an effective two approaches are proposed to solve fully fuzzy rough multi-objective nonlinear programming problems (FFRMONLP) where all the variables and parameters are fuzzy rough triangular numbers. The first, based on a slice sum technique, a fully fuzzy rough multi-objective nonlinear problem has turned into five equivalent multi-objective nonlinear programming (FFMONLP) problems. The second proposed method for solving FFRMONLP problems is α-cut approach, where the triangular fuzzy rough variables and parameters of the FFRMONLP problem are converted into rough interval variables and parameters by α-level cut, moreover the rough MONLP problem turns into four MONLP problems. Furthermore, the weighted sum method is used in both proposed approaches to convert multi-objective nonlinear problems into an equivalent nonlinear programming problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed procedure is demonstrated by numerical examples.

This study aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges of Merdeka Belajar as a national education program for high school teachers nationally. Teachers’ problem in implementing Merdeka Belajar (Freedom of Learning) curriculum lacks understanding of the procedures. This happened because there was no structural explanation regarding the differences between the curriculum they had been running so far and Merdeka Belajar curriculum. Many problems arise when implementing the curriculum that the education they have been running has made students dependent. In this context, this study questions how high school sociology teachers’ opportunities and challenges in facing Merdeka Belajar curriculum in the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0)? This study aims to identify problems and strategies for teachers in facing the new paradigm of Merdeka Belajar. This study’s analysis is based on theories such as those from Neill, Rogers, Freire, Boal, Giroux, and Knowles to critically analyze the pedagogical paradigm of national education that teachers have used. This study uses Knowles’s theory of andragogy to explore the notion of Merdeka Belajar. This study’s qualitative research method includes observation of the teacher-student relationship and interviews with several high school teachers in Karanganyar, Central Java. Besides, document studies related to Merdeka Belajar program are also used to understand the policy context. This study found that teachers did not realize that they had been using a pedagogical paradigm (education for children) for high school-level children who had grown up. When they switched to Merdeka Belajar curriculum, they also did not know that the paradigm they should be using is andragogy (education for adults). In this situation, they improvised as best they could to implement Merdeka Belajar. The teachers only carry out orders from the school. However, the school is still trying to understand how it works based on structural orders without clarity. Students’ dependence on teachers has become the cause of teachers’ difficulty to move out of the pedagogical paradigm into andragogy. In this situation, the teachers tried to do their best to implement Merdeka Belajar program during the Covid-19 pandemic. Teachers and schools must also face all infrastructural barriers and socioeconomic conditions with limited online learning access.
Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarction and Adverse Events from Nitrates: A Narrative Review
Authors: Wilkinson-Stokes Matt
Published: March 2021

Introduction

There is ubiquitous belief that right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) patients are pre-load dependent, and that administering nitrates to this cohort may cause adverse events – most notably hypotension. This article charts a narrative history of RVMI and nitrates: from the initial recognition of RVMI and early support of the use of nitrates, through the spread of the view against nitrates, and to the recent publication of evidence once again supporting their use.

Methods

Four databases were systematically searched (PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science) and results screened by title, then abstract, and finally full text. Results were presented using a chronological narrative structure.

Results

The view against the use of nitrates during RVMI can be traced back to a single 1989 cohort study of 28 patients, then later being adopted by a series of influential secondary evidence papers, and ultimately by international guidelines. In 2016, 2017 and 2019, new cohort studies totalling 1046 patients were presented, all of which concluded that nitrates are safe to administer during RVMI.

Conclusion

This article charts how a single retrospective cohort study with low statistical power came to form the dominant narrative on best practice despite complex and conflicting primary evidence.
The neologism zoretsvit: history and modernity
Authors:   Simferopol, Ukraine, Pradid Yu. F.
Published: March 2021

The proposed article is dedicated to the study of the neologism zoretsvit, which, in our opinion, appeared in the second half of the 1930s. It may have been first used by Oswald- Eckhart Friedrichovych Burghardt (literary pseudonym Yuri Klen), a Ukrainian poet, translator and literary critic who fell victim to political repressions during World War II. Thirty years later, in 1965, Danylo Bakumenko’s poetry collection Zoretsvit appeared. In 1980, the Kyiv sound-recording firm Melodiya made the disk My Live Well that included a song with lyrics by Mikhail Tkach, Storks Flying in Zoretsvit. Somewhat later, in 1986, the Dnipro publishing house published the collected works by William Shakespeare in six volumes, with the sixth volume including Shakespeare’s sonnets translated by Dmytro Pavlychko. The neologism zoretsvit is used in Sonnet 21. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the neologism zoretsvit began to be increasingly used in the Ukrainian language, especially in various names. It became really widespread in the 2020s in all Ukraine’s regions. Finally, it should be noted that the word zoretsvit can be found neither in the Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in 11 volumes, nor in the Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language in 20 volumes. It first appeared only in the latest online Free Explanatory Dictionary.

Удосконалення нормативно-правового регулювання питань щодо розпорядження майном, яке перейшло у власність держави за порушення митного законодавства
Authors: Попель С. А.
Published: March 2021

У статті визначено, що розпорядження майном є складним процесом, який характеризується значною кількістю невизначеностей та проблемних аспектів, що потребують окремого нормативно-правового врегулювання. Виявлено, що одним із найважливіших нововведень Порядку 1050 є те, що ним передбачається можливість застосування голландських аукціонів – редукціонів для реалізації майна, що перейшло у власність держави за порушення митного законодавства. Визначено основні зміни щодо розпорядження підакцизними товарами, які були здійснені у зв’язку з прийняттям Постанови № 1014. Також досліджено зміни, які були здійснені у митному регулюванні в рамках боротьби із COVID-19.
