Artistic Perception of Leo Tolstoy’s Conception in V. P. Aksyonov’s Trilogy Generations of Winter: On the Question of the Individual in History
Authors:   Florida State University, Tallahassee, Efimov Nina A.
Published: October 2021

This article investigates V. P. Aksyonov’s argument with L. N. Tolstoy about the role of personality in history in his trilogy Generations of Winter. The saga protagonists’ spiritual awakening and self-identification are discussed in the context of Tolstoy’s view on the activity of the general mass of people who take part in a historical event and determine its outcome. This allows to elicit Aksyonov’s view on man’s personal responsibility under Stalinism. The main sources of this paper are Tolstoy’s War and Peace and Aksyonov’s Generations of Winter. Its purpose is to explain Aksyonov’s artistic conceptualization of the role of the masses and the individual under the Stalinist regime and in the Great Patriotic War. The major results of the research have been achieved by comparing the artistic devices employed by Tolstoy in fracturing the myth of Napoleon’s genius as leader of the general mass with Aksyonov’s approach in satirical portrayal of Stalin. The article explores Aksyonov’s contribution to the literary tradition of the grotesque, his utilization of the functions of the body “bottom” and of Russian popular demonic motifs in the depiction of Stalin. The paper’s author utilizes a comparative hermeneutical analysis and concludes that Aksyonov’s metaphor of “Stalinist hypnosis” is the writerly equivalent of Tolstoy’s conception of “swarm behavior”, and that Aksyonov’s argument with Tolstoy’s negation of the role of the individual in history is a postmodern playful ironic device, a means for his conceptualization and revision of Leo Tolstoy’s philosophic-historical view for the twentieth century.
Intertextuality in T. Pratchett’s Novel Maskerade
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics — Nizhny Novgorod, Kulkov Aleksandr N.
Published: October 2021

The category of intertextuality and playing with the reader have become an integral part of mass literature in the era of postmodernism. The aim of this article is to analyse the intertextual inclusions in Maskerade (1995), a novel by Terry Pratchett, a British writer who achieved success in comic fantasy and is well-known for his book series Discworld and the use of different cultural references which play a crucial role in the construction of the storyline. The research refers to the original text of Maskerade, the primary precedent texts, i.e. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux and the musical of the same name by Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as several musical works of the last century. The distinctive features of the novel include a predominance of musical references over literary ones, which can be explained by the primary plot of the book developing on the stage of the Ankh-Morpork Opera House. In the very paratitle of the novel, the writer begins an intertextual game with the reader, hinting at the main narrative line, the duality and masquerade of what happens. All the plot-forming intertextual connections analysed in this article have no attribution and are expressed in the form of marked quotations, quasi-quotations, and allusions. However, taking into consideration “the white knowledge” and the readers’ horizon of expectations, Terry Pratchett reconsiders many images of the characters and seemingly well-known plot twists of The Phantom of the Opera. Furthermore, showing the backstage of the theatrical world with its prejudices and difficulties, the author thereby connects the real world with the secondary fictional world which turn out to be hardly distinguishable from each other.
Northern Russian Names of Flour and Bread Made of Different Varieties of Grain: The Semantic-Motivational Aspect
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Osipova Ksenia V. ,   Institute of Slavic Studies of the RAS, Moscow
Published: October 2021

This article discusses dialectal names of bread made of a mixture of two or three varieties of flour (barley, rye, oat, or wheat), recorded on the territory of Arkhangelsk, Vologda, and northern Kostroma regions. The author carries out an analysis of this group of vocabulary in linguo-geographic and semantic-motivational aspects in order to determine the peculiarities of the formation of the lexical group under consideration and the corresponding food tradition, to identify possible foreign language and foreign cultural influences and the etymological reconstruction of lexemes with an unclear motivation. There are several groups of names and areas of distribution of the ideogram “bread made of mixed flour”. It is established that the use of bread made of mixed flour was typical of residents of the south, southeast, and west of Arkhangelsk region, the central and eastern parts of Vologda region, and the northeastern parts of Kostroma region. The author singles out several types of names and areas of their distribution, i.e. двоежиток — троежитник; двинянка; соричник, сорица; смёш, смешечник; сутолока. Referring to the semantic-motivational models revealed, the author proposes an etymology for the northern Russian двинянка ‘bread that has two layers of dough’ in connection with the number два ‘two’. Given the existing etymology of Rus. dial. сорник ‘bread made of several types of flour’ in connection with the Komi сор ‘admixture’, it is proposed to consider dial. смешенник as a calque of loanwords with the root сор- (сорник, etc.). The archaic nature of the vocabulary group in question makes it possible to consider the tradition of making mixed flour and bread out of it quite old. It was partially borrowed by Russian peasants from the Finno-Ugric peoples who had more experience in baking bread from barley.
Peter the Great’s Naval Campaigns Series (1860–1877) of Alexey Bogolyubov: The Evolution of Artistic Language
Authors:   State Russian Museum, St Petersburg, Voloshko Anna V.
Published: October 2021

This article focuses on the history of a series of paintings by Alexey Bogolyubov which was devoted to Peter the Great’s naval campaigns and created between 1860 and 1877 at the commission of Alexander II. Bogolyubov’s series of naval battle scenes has not been studied individually before. Dispersed across various public and private collections, the paintings have lost their role as a pictorial ensemble. Besides, the fate of three of the eight paintings remains unknown, and they can only be judged by indirect sources: archival and literary sources, copies, studies, and preparatory graphic works. Collected and systematised in this article, these materials make it possible to present the development of the series and Bogolyubov’s pictorial language over a decade and a half at the peak of his artistic career. An analysis of the pictorial features of this cycle of paintings and some other works reveals a change in the artistic techniques during the creation of the series. Also, the author identifies works of Bogolyubov’s predecessors on similar subjects and reveals features of their stylistic similarities and differences from those of Bogolyubov’s. The author traces the connection between Bogolyubov’s choice of subjects in the paintings and the state of naval history, more particularly, their connection with the works of Feodosy Veselago. In addition, the author reveals a case of change in the original idea of the composition of The Battle of Gangut and its division into three paintings consistently reflecting the course of the battle. Additionally, the article compares the routes of hydrographic expeditions and travels as part of the entourages of Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich and Tsesarevich Alexander Alexandrovich and places related to events of Peter the Great’s reign. Thus, the research demonstrates Bogolyubov’s search for a maximum accumulation of historical material and documentary depiction of events.

Published: October 2021

Abstract Objective: To evaluate air quality in the waiting room of a pediatric emergency service considering the serial concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5), and to determine if the number of people present in the room can have an influence on the pollutant concentrations. Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out in the waiting room of a reference pediatric hospital in the city of Porto Alegre, conducted in a one-year period, in a continuous-time sample including all of the four seasons of the year. The monitoring of PM2.5 was performed using a real-time aerosol monitor (DustTrak II). The number of people in the room was determined every hour and the climatic characteristics per daily mean. The concentration of PM2.5 and the number of people were expressed by mean and standard deviation. The means were compared by Analysis of Variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: There was a significant increase in the concentration of PM2.5 in the autumn, when compared to other seasons (p<0.001). The pollutant increase, in this season, was accompanied by the higher number of people in the emergency room (p=0.026). The association between PM2.5 and the number of people is confirmed by the positive correlation between these two variables (r=0.738; p<0.001). Conclusions: The pediatric emergency waiting room showed elevated PM2.5 in all seasons. The number of people in the room had a positive correlation with the concentration of the pollutant in the environment.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the prevalence of hypothermia in the delivery room, at admission, and 2 to 3 hours after admission in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), factors associated and possible relationship with morbidity and mortality in preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW). Methods: Cross-sectional study with data collection based on a retrospective review of medical records and including infants born in 2016 and 2017, with birth weights <1500g, and gestational ages <34 weeks. Data about VLBW preterm infants, maternal data and temperature in the delivery room were analyzed. Hypothermia was considered when axillary temperature <36°C. For statistical analysis, the chi-square test or G test, canonical and Spearman correlation, and logistic regression were used. Results: 149 newborns (NB) were included in the study. The prevalence of hypothermia in delivery room, at admission to the NICU and 2 to 3 hours after admission was 25.8%, 41.5% and 40.2%, respectively. The temperature of NBs was directly proportional to gestational age (p<0.010), birth weight (p<0.010), and Apgar score (p<0.050). There was an inverse association with hypothermia in the delivery room and cesarean delivery (OR 0.25; p=0.016). Conclusions: Hypothermia was a prevalent problem in the studied population. The neonatal temperature was directly proportional to gestational age, birth weight and Apgar score. Hypothermia was associated with maternal factors, such as cesarean delivery. It is necessary to implement and improve strategies for its prevention.
A fragmentação partidária no Brasil
Authors: Custódio Sérgio José
Published: October 2021

O artigo revisita a produção de Lucia Hippolito (1985) sobre o sistema partidário brasileiro de 1945 a 1965 com dois objetivos: 1) explorar as relações teóricas com a obra de Giovanni Sartori (1982[1976]); 2) identificar possíveis relações que avancem a discussão teórica sobre partidos e sistema partidário no Brasil atual. O confronto direto entre os dois autores expõe limites da análise do sistema político brasileiro de 1945-1965 nos termos da centralidade do PSD, vista por distintos ângulos, como a expectativa de poder do partido de centro em torno das eleições presidenciais, a longevidade do PSD à frente da presidência da Câmara no período, a presença importante dos partidos pequenos no sistema, as coalizões, a história, a dimensão estrutural. Dessa imersão emerge a hipótese da relevância da percepção do sistema partidário brasileiro atual como uma formação com número razoável de partidos reais, um sistema de matriz fragmentária permanente, sem partidos majoritários em posição de centro, cujo centro e a estabilidade dependem de coalizões partidárias sintonizadas com a cidadania plena no país.
O que é esperado de um Programa de Residência Médica em Medicina de Família e Comunidade?: Um olhar do preceptor da residência, de médicos de família e comunidade e legislação
Authors: Ribeiro Lucas , Goldfarb Cyrino Eliana , Pazin-Filho Antônio
Published: October 2021

Introdução: A residência médica é o padrão ouro de formação dos médicos após a graduação, tanto no Brasil, quando em outros países. Dentre os programas existentes no país, um dos que mais cresce em número de vagas é a residência médica em Medicina de Família e Comunidade (MFC). Para o credenciamento de programas na Comissão Nacional de Residência Médica, o programa necessita ser avaliado e aprovado por uma comissão de especialistas. Contudo, não há instrumento-padrão que proporcione avaliação sistemática disponível. Objetivos: Aperfeiçoar e apresentar uma ferramenta que permita avaliar e monitorar a qualidade de programas de residência médica em Medicina de Família e Comunidade, considerando suas singularidades a partir dos médicos formados e em formação da área. Metodologia: produção, adequação e aprovação da ferramenta avaliativa por profissionais renomados na MFC Brasileira, totalizando 9 pessoas. Análise de dados: A metodologia de investigação e análise foi por metodologia Delphi, com obtenção de 80% de concordância dos participantes. A análise qualitativa por Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: A metodologia Delphi exigiu 5 ciclos avaliatórios para a compreensão e adequação das recomendações técnicas propostas, com eliminação de um item e ponderação, com metodologia de análise de resultado de 10 itens resultantes, atingindo uma matriz esperada para a organização de programas de residência. Discussão: a existência de um instrumento de avaliação e monitoramento de programas de residência em medicina de família e comunidade pode ser uma ferramenta para facilitar os gestores de programas e permite a avaliação e monitoramento para adequá-lo. Entretanto, a aplicabilidade prática da mesma precisa ser adequada as realidades do sistema de saúde e organização das residências, a fim de ser plausível e reprodutível em todo o país, considerando as diversidades de programas. Conclusão: com o aumento do número de programas de residência médica em medicina de família e comunidade, e assim, de vagas disponíveis, é imprescindível que os gestores possuam um plano em comum para que os programas sejam adequados e produtivos para a especialidade. Com isso, a presença de um documento norteador é capaz de identificar suas fortalezas e fraquezas frente a realidade da construção. Assim, o resultado desse artigo é apresentar um documento e suas limitações.

Published: October 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) que visou investigar de que forma a Realidade Aumentada (RA) foi aplicada em práticas pedagógicas nas Áreas de Ciências e de Letras. A RSL teve como base de dados o Portal de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Nível Superior (CAPES), no qual foram estcaabelecidas strings de busca, bem como o período de tempo que foi considerado (2010 até metade de 2021). Além disso, foram elaboradas questões de pesquisa que serviram de guia para o trabalho e, ainda, critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Foi encontrado um total de dezoito trabalhos entre teses e dissertações, sendo: seis sobre a relação entre ensino/aprendizagem e RA; oito sobre a relação entre o ensino de Ciências e RA; e por fim, quatro trabalhos que trazem a relação entre a Área de Letras e o uso da RA. Os resultados demonstraram que há uma grande disparidade quanto ao número de trabalhos em RA que são direcionados para Ciências e Letras, evidenciando assim, que as tecnologias estão mais presentes nas áreas consideradas mais “práticas”, enquanto as áreas que são mais teóricas recaem, muitas vezes, em formas tradicionais de ensino.
Analytical model for the design of piled embankments considering cohesive soils
Authors: Pham T.A. , Wijesuriya K. , Dias D.
Published: October 2021

Geosynthetic-reinforced and pile-supported (GRPS) systems have already proven their good performance in supporting embankments constructed over soft soil. The load transfer mechanism in GRPS embankments depends on the complex interaction between the soil in place, the structural elements and the embankment's soil type (cohesive or cohesionless). However, the cohesion influence of the embankment soil has not been well investigated as it is often not considered in the design of such systems. The main aim of this study is to present an analytical model for GRPS embankments that combines several phenomena such as the concentric arches model in cohesive fill soils, the hyperbolic model for the isochrone geogrid curve, and subsoil's consolidation. Three-dimensional numerical analyses are also conducted to evaluate the embankment soil cohesion influence on the soil arching. Both the numerical and analytical results agree that the cohesive embankment fills strengthen the soil arching effect and increase the efficacy if compared with cohesionless embankment fills. A comparison of the analytical model with measured data and other design methods for full-scale field tests proved the proposed model efficiency. The proposed analytical model therefore can be applicable for GRPS embankments with cohesive and non-cohesive fill soils.
Fabrication of Joule heating coating layers by way of flame spraying for membrane distillation
Authors: Enayat Arian , Sadrzadeh Mohtada , McDonald André
Published: October 2021

Membrane distillation (MD) has been introduced as a water desalination process with high potential. Still, its high energy demand has hindered its progress from becoming a widely used procedure. It has been proposed that the addition of photothermal and Joule heating materials to the membrane structure could improve this method’s energy consumption. The attempts that have been reported so far have failed to integrate this feature inexpensively. In this study, Joule heating coating layers were fabricated on steel sheet substrates. The resistive heating capability of the samples was examined in air and water. The MD experiments indicated that only 80 W of power was needed to trigger water distillation at 2.24 kg/m2 h flux. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis showed that the Joule heating coating layer’s addition did not compromise the quality of the distilled water. The results obtained suggest that MD’s energy consumption could be reduced by integrating Joule heating layers fabricated by way of the widely available flame spraying method.

Published: October 2021

The present study was aimed to retrieve and analyse the temporal trends of

congenital syphilis (CS) in Brazil, as well as to list its main associated factors. Methods: In

August 2019 a systematic review was developed in four electronic databases (Lilacs, Pubmed,

Scielo and Web of Science) and in manual searches on reference lists. It was established that

the synthesis of this review would be composed by ecological studies with CS temporal trends

in the Brazilian territory, regardless of the population characteristics and data

representativeness. More specifically, it was also established that the prevalence of CS of the

first and last year of the time series would be presented in the descriptive synthesis. Results:

Of the 2,157 initial studies, 14 adequately met the inclusion criteria and composed the

synthesis. Twelve (85.7%) of these studies showed increases in time trends, with particular

emphasis on the two nationwide studies, which showed positive trends between 2003–2008

(0.4) and 2010–2015 (3.7). Associations were found between CS and socioeconomic and

ethnic factors, especially in the groups of women with low income, low education, brown /

black skin colour and who had untreated partners. Conclusion: most of the available research

showed an increase in the temporal trends of CS, highlighting that these data were observed at

the national, state and municipal levels. Since mothers socioeconomic and ethnic factors are

associated with higher CS frequencies, efforts are needed to increase the coverage of the

Unified Health System to vulnerable women.

Published: October 2021

Background: The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a challenging public health problem. The identification of risk groups is essential for the establishment of prevention, screening, containment and treatment strategies. In Brazil, overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in prisons have been a problem for a long time that facilitates infection diseases.

Objective: To reflect on the vulnerability of the prison population to COVID-19 and the implications of possible outbreaks in public health

Method: Theoretical-reflective study.

Results: The prison population has a high clinical vulnerability to contamination by COVID-19. This is aggravated by the structural conditions of prisons, which increases the spread of diseases, especially respiratory conditions, and hinders the establishment of preventive measures. The health care strategies of this population are still insufficient.

Conclusion: Outbreaks of COVID-19 in prisons affect prisoners, staff and family members, and could lead the health system to an unprecedented collapse. Strategies to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in prisons and its impact on public health are urgent. Priority health measures, contingency protocols and coordinated actions between the health and justice sectors must be implemented in order to minimize the spread of the virus in this vulnerable and invisible population.

Esta investigación transcurre de la elaboración de la minuta de Instrucción Normativa para el centro antiguo de Cáceres-MT, declarado patrimonio histórico por el IPHAN en 2010. La ciudad tiene aproximadamente 90 mil habitantes y su fundación remonta al año de 1778. La metodología adoptada para la discusión del tema fue pautada en la legislación federal, en los instrumentos del Estatuto de la Ciudad y en análisis de las leyes municipales que podrían tener efectos sobre la región de la ciudad de Cáceres donde se encuentra su patrimonio histórico, arquitectónico y paisajístico. Fueran utilizados para análisis, también, materiales producidos durante la pesquisa para desarrollo de una minuta de Instrucción Normativa para el centro declarado como patrimonio histórico y durante la actualización del Plan Director del Municipio. Frente a los análisis se quedó evidenciado que el Poder Público Municipal, aunque responsable por la política de desarrollo urbano, según define el Estatuto de la Ciudad, en el caso de Cáceres-MT, desarrolló solo parcialmente la legislación municipal: aprobó el Plan Director, pero no las leyes complementares que podrían dar respaldo y fundamentar una estrategia para la preservación del patrimonio local.

This study aimed to identify the reality of the use of virtual scientific laboratories when teaching science subjects at the basic stage in Amman’s public schools which is the capital city of Jordan. The quantitative method was used. A survey with quantitative treatment in which the data processed through the SPSS has been applied. The study population consisted of all teachers of sciences; mainly, the teachers who teaches the science subjects for the first grades in the public schools available in Amman. A survey was prepared to collect data and information consisting of (49) items (see the appendix) with two fields which are the reality of the use of virtual laboratories in teaching science subjects and obstacles and the teachers’ viewpoints towards the use of the virtual laboratory and significance. The findings of the study showed the following: (1) there are many obstacles that prevent the use of virtual scientific laboratories technology in teaching science subjects at the basic stage including the lack of infrastructure and the lack of the financial capabilities necessary to secure the needs of the virtual laboratories, (2) teachers of science subjects are fear of taking responsibility while using the virtual laboratory when teaching science subjects, and (3) teachers of science subjects are not satisfied with using the virtual laboratory because it takes too much time while teaching sciences classes through educational platforms. Moreover, many students do not have enough internet. The study recommended the necessity to find an infrastructure for virtual laboratories and to train teachers to use them in order to reduce any educational loss in science subjects during crises particularly Corona Virus pandemic.

VIRTUAL ARCHAEOLOGY: 10 YEARS IN VIRTUAL SPACE
Authors:   The State Hermitage Museum, Hookk D. Yu.
Published: October 2021

According to the system development life cycle framework (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288), any technical project usually passes six stages: requirement analysis, design, development and testing, implementation, documentation, and evaluation. The international “Virtual archaeology” project is no exception. It was born thanks to the ideas of the ISAP London meeting in 2011 and contacts with the newly established Ludwig Bolzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology. The concept of virtual archaeology was first proposed by Paul Reilly in 1990 who introduced the use of 3D computer models based on virtual reality for the visualisation of archaeological data (Reilly 1990). Since then, virtual archaeology has developed into a broad field of research and applications using the internationally recognised principles for the use of computer-based visualisation (London Charter Initiative 2009), while still missing its fundamental definition. That was the problem to discuss by the specialists interested in the topic. The sequence of all the activities based on the previous results has got the title International “Virtual archaeology” project with periodical conferences taking place.
The Web of Hate: Fragmentation of Media Authority and its Link to Right-Wing Populism and Cyber Islamophobia

The twenty-first century has been marked strongly with two extremely significant developments, firstly the increase in international terror attacks and secondly the evolution of media and information consumption based on technological advancements. These phenomena together have led to the figurative and literal blowing up of mass media coverage, but, increasingly and more importantly, social media traffic. This shift in information consumption by the general public, especially after terror attacks, is leading to a fragmentation of authority that traditional media gained after years of being the monopoly of verified information exchange. The increased usage and wide accessibility of social media is allowing more people to feel connected globally after terror attacks and is leading to the creation of mediascapes by defining in-groups of like-minded people against Islam, as a common enemy, which leads to a drastic increase in online hate against Islam and Muslims. Digital mediascapes therefore have the ability to unify participants around an “us” that is specifically against the “other” that is labeled as an enemy. Islamophobia thus has become a useful tool for right-wing populists not only to gather a large following online but for right-wing parties to assemble electors in several European nation-states. This, in turn, can provoke the escalation of right-wing populism where people, who are experiencing the echo chamber first hand or those perceiving the viral developments from outside, can become easy prey for political influence. Therefore, social media groups, hashtags and sites can be seen as the feeding ground for right-wing populist political parties. Keywords: Echo-chamber, Islamophobia, cyberspace, social media, right-wing populism.

The Covid-19 disease that the World Health Organization (WHO) stated as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 impacts negatively on the tourism industry. It causes the foreign exchange earnings from the tourism sector to decline, and it is the duty of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to resolve this problem . The implementation of physical distancing as a solution to minimize the spread of the Covid-19 disease has changed society to do more activities online which speeds up the development of digital culture. The researchers examine the structure of relationships between social entities on Twitter regarding the planning of reopening Indonesian tourism. The data collection is conducted from 19 to 23 June 2020, in the transition era. The subject is the official Twitter account of The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, @kamenparekraf. The netnography method was applied to understand social relations in social networks and analyze the structure and patterns of the relations between community members called actors (nodes) and the relations between members called ties. The results showed that the network formed 5 large clusters that were the clusters of @kamenparekraf, @jokowi, @susipudjiastuti, @wishnutama, and @zenicman. The high level of communication intensity on the planning of reopening tourism during the Covid-19 pandemic indicated that the communication network used Twitter as the favorite social media and formed a digital culture in content using #SobatParekraf so that every actor involved indirectly made social relations and became a member of the Twitter social media community. Keywords: Communication networks, Covid-19 disaster, digital culture, netnography, tourism industry.
A Framing Analysis on COVID-19 Management Strategy by Health Minister “Terawan” published on Detik.com and Kumparan.com
Authors:   Sebelas Maret University, Indonesia, Nurindra Dyah Ayu
Published: October 2021

On March 2nd, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 in Indonesia was announced. Dr. Terawan Agus Putranto, who is the Health Minister of the Kabinet Indonesia Maju [Onward Indonesia Cabinet], received public scrutiny over his attitude in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Coverage of Terawan's handling of the COVID-19 outbreak appeared in the news many times, including on online news organisations detik.com and kumparan.com. Mass media framing is considered very important in the delivery of news, particularly so in a disruptive era. This descriptive interpretive qualitative study aims to illustrate how detik.com and kumparan.com framed Health Minister Terawan and his management of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia. Data was obtained from online news articles relating to Terawan as the Health Minister and the management of COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia from March 2nd –31st, 2020. The Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki framing model is used as the method of analysis and contains four framing device structures, namely syntax, script, theme, and rhetoric. The results of this study indicate that neither the word choices in headlines nor the manner in which facts are presented by detik.com caused controversy or offended Terawan. Furthermore, the word choices in headlines and the manner in which facts are presented by kumparan.com are considered to slightly offend Terawan without causing controversy. Overall, there is no significant difference in the framing of Terawan and his management of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia between Detik.com and Kumparan.com. Keywords: Framing, handling of COVID-19, online news, Terawan, Zhongdang Pan, Gerald M. Kosicki model.

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) coupled with traffic sign recognition could lead to safer driving environments. This study presents a sophisticated, yet robust and accurate traffic sign detection system using computer vision and ML, for ADAS. Unavailability of large local traffic sign datasets and the unbalances of traffic sign distribution are the key bottlenecks of this research.  Hence, we choose to work with support vector machines (SVM) with a custom-built unbalance dataset, to build a lightweight model with excellent classification accuracy.  The SVM model delivered optimum performance with the radial basis kernel, C=10, and gamma=0.0001. In the proposed method, same priority was given to processing time (testing time) and accuracy, as traffic sign identification is time critical. The final accuracy obtained was 87% (with confidence interval 84%-90%) with a processing time of 0.64s (with confidence interval of 0.57s-0.67s) for correct detection at testing, which emphasizes the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Authors: Langaliya Vishalkumar , Gohil Jaypalsinh A. Gohil
Published: October 2021

Blockchain is a disruptive innovation that is already reshaping corporate, social, and political connections, as well as any other form of value exchange. Again, this isn't simply a shift; it's a fast-moving phenomenon that has already begun. Top financial institutions and a large number of businesses have begun to investigate blockchain in order to cut transaction costs, speed up transaction times, reduce fraud risk, and eliminate the need for middlemen or intermediate services. Blockchain is believed to be the component that completes the Internet puzzle and makes it more open, more accessible, and more reliable. In this article, we first introduced the blockchain technology and smart contracts and their merits and demerits. Second, we present a comparative and comprehensive analysis of smart contract-enabled blockchain applications. Toward the end, we discussed the future development trends of smart contract enabled blockchain applications. This document is intended to serve as a guide and resource for future research initiatives.
RE-Domiciliation to Russia: The Study of Legal and Psychological Motivations
Authors: Konduktorov A. S.
Published: October 2021

The paper was prepared based on the materials of a sociological study conducted by the author in order to reveal the attitude of respondents to the organizational measures and legal innovations implemented by the Russian Federation aimed at the re-domiciliation of organizations registered offshore to the Russian jurisdiction, as well as the return of their assets to the domestic economy. The objective of this work is to determine the proportion of respondents who agree to the implementation of re-domiciliation in the Russian Federation on the terms proposed by the legislator, reasons preventing re-domiciliation, factors that increase the interest in “moving business” from offshore zones to the Russian Federation. As a result, the author determines that the organizational and legal conditions for re-domiciliation are acceptable for almost half of the respondents. At the same time, the one-fifth of the respondents evaluate the prospect of re-domiciliation to the domestic jurisdiction as inappropriate, since in principle they do not trust the Russian Federation and do not want to accumulate assets on its territory regardless of the attractiveness of the proposed conditions. The results of the survey held among respondents planning to engage in entrepreneurial activity (to do business) in the future showed that this group of survey participants demonstrates a more negative attitude towards the use of offshore jurisdictions (compared to other categories of respondents) and generally perceive as attractive the idea of re-domiciliation in the Russian Federation. The most significant obstacle to re-domiciliation is formed due to the uncertainty among the research participants in the stability of Russian legislation, which poses the task before the State and the scientific community to develop legal safeguards concerning the invariability of the legal regime of entities re-domiciled in the Russian Federation. The attitude of the respondents to the ongoing change in the agreements concerning avoidance of double taxation concluded by the Russian Federation with foreign states demonstrates a surprising outcome of the survey: these agreements’ revision acts as a demotivating factor.
The Legal Nature of Public Service Disputes concerning the Legality of Imposition of Disciplinary Sanctions
Authors: Leshchina E. L.
Published: October 2021

The paper examines the concept of a public service dispute as a type of a legal conflict, as a protective legal relationship and a juridical procedural activity. The author analyzes the modern terminology of a public service dispute enshrined in the legislation regulating public service, identifies the shortcomings of legal definitions. The author establishes and describes the mechanisms for the consideration of public service disputes provided for by the legislation.

The main approaches to the definition of a public service dispute are analyzed. The author has highlighted its features as a complex protective legal relationship. The author shows the erroneous identification by some researchers of labor and public service relations and approaches to their determination of the legal nature of public service disputes, including the legality of the application of disciplinary sanctions. It has been substantiated that the legal nature of public service disputes in the civil service system is primarily determined by the content of the relations that underlie their occurrence—public service legal relations—and not by the forms of their consideration, which allows the possibility of applying labor and civil procedural legislation to disputed legal relations.

The author defines a public service dispute and an official conflict, describes the signs of a public service dispute on the legality of the imposition of a disciplinary sanction, qualifies the subject matter of the dispute under consideration—substantive legal requirements (disagreements) of the parties that act as an element of the connection between the substantive legal relationship between the parties to the dispute and the procedure applied for the dispute consideration. It has been substantiated that the public service dispute consideration concerning the legality of imposing a disciplinary sanction, termination of a public service contract constitutes a type of law enforcement procedural activity that has its own basis, subject matter, goals, elements, procedural forms and stages, types of decisions, which makes it possible to single out such disputes as one of the administrative proceedings included in the administrative process structure.
