Authors: Orverem J. M. , Haruna Y. , Abdulhamid B. M. , Adamu M. Y.
Published: October 2022

Lie was the first to consider linearization of differential equations many years ago. Since then, a great deal of research has been done on linearization of differential equations using various methodologies. Surprisingly, there has not been much progress in linearizing geodesic differential equations. In particular, the use of differential forms to linearize a class of geodesic equations is not documented in the literature. Differential forms are used to linearize a class of geodesic differential equations in this research. Geodesics on a plane, geodesics on a cone, and geodesics on a sphere are examples. The solutions to these equations were discovered during the linearization process, as the findings of this study are distinctive, innovative, and original.

Authors: Ivanova Daria A. , Safonova Marina A.
Published: October 2022

The aim of the study is to prove the informative value of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of rectal tumor involvement against the background of combined treatment for the patients (chemotherapy + radiation therapy) on the basis of the AI "Republican Oncological Dispensary", Cheboksary. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging on Elekta Synergy linear accelerator with a multi-leaf collimator, an integrated XVI X-ray volumetric imaging system and iViewGT portal imaging system, Mosaiq information and control system. Statistical processing was performed using standard methods of medical statistics using the SPSS Statistics package (version 17.0), arithmetic mean (M), standard deviation from the general mean age, mean value errors (m), Student's t-test were also calculated. Magnetic resonance imaging diagnostics made it possible to identify and dynamically control the change in the tumor involvement of the rectum against the background of the treatment: a change in the localization of the tumor in different parts of the rectum, a change in localization depending on the distance from the anal margin, a change in the thickness of the tumor wall, a change in the size and number of lymph nodes. Extramural venous invasion (EMVI), marginal resection boundary (CRM) of the tumor and invasion into surrounding tissues after surgical intervention were evaluated. This article examines the incidence of rectal cancer depending on age, gender, complaints, oncological history, risk factors contributing to the development of this pathology, as well as the presence of concomitant diseases that aggravate treatment. According to the results of the study, rectal cancer is revealed to be most often found in people aged 60–70, while men are most susceptible to the disease. According to histomorphological data, adenocarcinoma prevailed in 94 persons. Rectal cancer before and after chemoradiotherapy, according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, prevailed in the rectal lower ampulla (before chemoradiotherapy – in 51 persons, after chemoradiotherapy – in 48), while the malignant neoplasm was at the distance of 21-30 mm from the anal margin in 27 persons, with the average wall thickness of 21.5 mm according to MRI findings before chemoradiotherapy and 13.9 mm after chemoradiotherapy. The difference in the average wall thickness according to the findings of two MRI studies was 7.61 mm (33.3%), which indicates the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy.

Published: October 2022

The new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is characterized by high mortality. The aim of the study was to establish the role of gender, age, concomitant diseases, shifts in laboratory findings in predicting fatal outcome in COVID-19 patients. The study was conducted on the basis of emergency medical care hospital (Cheboksary). 182 case histories of COVID-19 patients who underwent inpatient treatment were analyzed, 82 of whom died. The frequency of outcomes in different clinical conditions and laboratory shifts were analyzed, the relative risk (RR) of lethal outcome and its confidence interval were calculated. Mortality is naturally associated with the number of points on the NEWS 2 scale, the extent of pulmonary tissue involvement, no connection with gender was found. The prognostic value of acute kidney injury (RR – 2.57), chronic kidney disease (RR – 1.47), arterial hypertension (RR – 3.04), coronary heart disease (RR – 2.60), chronic nonspecific lung diseases (RR – 1.53), elderly and senile age (RR – 2.84, HR – 4.90), obesity of II-III degrees (RR – 1.97), body weight deficit (RR – 1.82) is shown. The ROC analysis method determined the levels of C-reactive protein in the blood (> 25 mg/l, RR – 3.2), an increase in procalcitonin (RR – 3.80), D-dimer (> 562.8 ng/ml, RR – 3.15), leukocytes (> 9.52×109/l, RR – 2.22), lymphocytes (< 1.15×109/l, RR – 2.04), interleukin-6 (> 13.2 pg/ml, RR – 3.38), fibrinogen (> 6.4 g/l, RR – 1.57), creatinine (> 91.8 mmol/l, RR – 1.95), lactate dehydrogenase (> 558 mmol/l, RR – 2.28), glomerular filtration rate (GFR < 63.8 ml/min / 1.73 m2, RR – 2.55), going beyond which significantly increases the risk of fatal outcome. Hence, along with the known factors in the high-risk group, it is necessary to take into account a specific body mass index, age group, renal function indicators and a number of inflammatory changes in the blood.

Published: October 2022

The aim of the research was to study the stiffness of an unchanged thyroid gland using shear wave elastography with elastometry in children in different gender and age groups. 175 children with normal hormonal status aged from 3 to 17 were examined, 80 of them were girls and 95 boys. All children underwent ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland in the "supine" position of the examinees, supplemented by two-dimensional shear wave elastography on Aixplorer apparatus (Supersonic Imagine, France) using a linear sensor in the frequency range of 5-18 MHz. Five measurements of Young's modulus value of the right and left lobes of the thyroid gland were carried out. Using Multi Q-box software, the following values of Young's modulus (E) for each fraction were automatically determined: the mean (Emean), the maximum (Emax), the minimum (Emin), the standard deviation (SD). The study established a statistically significant increase in thyroid stiffness values in children with increasing age, statistically significant differences in the stiffness of thyroid right and left lobes (p = 0.003), the absence of gender differences in thyroid stiffness (median Emean in boys – 7.40 kPa, in girls – 6.80 kPa; p = 0.170). The technique of shear wave elastography that is offered by the authors can become an additional diagnostic tool in assessing the condition of the thyroid gland in children. The established values of thyroid tissue stiffness in children of different age groups can be recommended to be used for the purpose of timely diagnosis of thyroid pathology.

Published: October 2022

The aim of the study is to determine the value of multiparametric ultrasound examination in the differential diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The results of a multiparametric ultrasound examination performed in 219 patients with thyroid cancer at the stage of preoperative assessment are analyzed. There were 123 patients with papillary thyroid cancer, 96 patients with follicular thyroid cancer. All patients underwent multiparametric ultrasound examination in grey-scale mode, color Doppler mapping mode and elastography mode: compression elastography and shear wave elastography. In papillary thyroid cancer, two–color staining was found in 13.4% of cases, three–color staining – in 19.3%, four-color staining – in 28.7%, five-color staining – in 26.4%, six–color staining – in 12.2%. The pattern was dominated by "cold" tones. The velocity of the shear wave was 4.61±1.33 m/s (95% CI), Young's modulus was 63.3±14.7 kPa (95% CI), the elasticity index (strain ratio) was 4.89±1.65 (95% CI) c.u. The color scheme of follicular thyroid cancer was characterized by patchiness, the presence of both rigid and elastic areas. In 2 cases (14.3%) there was two-color staining, in 4 (28.6%) – three-color staining, in 8 (57.1%) – four-color and five-color staining. The velocity of the shear wave was 4,53±1,25 m/s (95% CI), Young's modulus was 62,1±12,1 kPa (95% CI), the elasticity index (strain ratio) was 3,76±0,76 (95% CI) c.u. Thus, the study showed that the complex use of multiparametric ultrasound examination techniques (B-mode, color Doppler mapping, compression elastography, shear wave elastography) is highly informative and should be used in the differential diagnosis of thyroid cancer in the preoperative assessment. Thus, the performed examination showed that the complex application of multiparametric ultrasound techniques (V, mode, CDM, CEG, ESP) is highly informative and should be used in the differential diagnosis of thyroid cancer in the preoperative period.

The aim of the research was to study the opportunities of ultrasound diagnostics and to identify ultrasound criteria for diagnostic parameters of pelvic veins in women with pelvic varicosities against the background of primary valvular insufficiency. The study included 102 women with pelvic congestion syndrome, the average age was 35.77±7.27 years. Ultrasound examination of pelvic veins was carried out on the basis of the developed and patented technique of ultrasound examination of pelvic veins in women. The median, the mean, minimum, maximum values, standard deviation of ultrasonic parameters were determined in the general sample; grouping/classification tasks were solved using cluster analysis methods. In the general sample, when comparing the results of the study, it was revealed that the average values of ultrasound parameters on the left were greater than those on the right. The greatest differences in the average values of the ovarian veins on both sides were in volumetric and maximum blood flow rates. Sensitivity was 95%, specificity – 90%. Ultrasound examination of pelvic veins makes it possible to evaluate the hemodynamics and anatomical features of the veins' structure to reduce the recurrence of varicose veins of the pelvic varicose disease and lower extremities varicose vein disease.
THE IMPACT OF FIREARMS AVAILABILITY ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOMICIDES AND SUICIDES
Authors: Antonova Nina D. , Golenkov Andrey V.
Published: October 2022

The mortality of the population from external causes ranks third after circulatory diseases and oncological pathology. The purpose of the review is to study the prevalence of firearms in the regions of the world and its impact on the frequency of homicides and suicides (intentional external causes of death) in various socio-demographic groups of the population. The issue of allowing firearms is solved in different ways – from a ban on its storage, carrying and use among the population to free sale and wide circulation in a particular country. In general, there is a growing trend in the number of people owning firearms, including the Russian Federation and its subjects. Availability of firearms at home, as well as free access to their use (among police officers, military personnel, etc.) increases the risk of suicide in these population groups several times with lethal outcomes in 85–91% of cases. Although the murder rate has been declining in recent years in the world and Russia, the share of violent crimes involving firearms is increasing. The number of mass murders committed by young people (schoolchildren, students, military personnel, recently conscripted into the army), whose victims are primarily their peers, is growing. Both murders and suicides are many (3-9) times more likely to be committed by males of mature (able-bodied) age. People having previous criminal records for illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, possession of firearms and other misdeeds often turn out to be murderers, and persons with mental pathology – self-murderers. At this, murders with subsequent suicide are most often committed with the use of firearms. Legislative restrictions on trafficking in firearms contribute primarily to reducing mass murders, as well as to reducing its use as instruments of murder and suicide.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SHEAR WAVE ELASTOGRAPHY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF LIVER DAMAGE IN PATIENTS WITH POST-COVID SYNDROME

Published: October 2022

The article presents a review of literature data on the aspects of post-covid liver damage, as well as on the diagnostic capabilities of shear wave ultrasound elastography in its assessment. Development of consequences to the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 resulted in an increased interest in their study. In May 2020, the set of symptoms after COVID-19 was combined by the term "post-covid syndrome" and was introduced into the ICD-10 system – (U09.9). The post-covid syndrome is a set of multisystem manifestations of COVID-19, lasting more than 12 weeks, on a permanent basis or with a wave-like course. According to the literature, 35% of patients have liver damage. As part of the study of pathogenetic mechanisms, several theories have now been proposed: direct damaging effect of the virus, immune-mediated inflammation, hypoxia, drug hepatotoxicity and hepatic comorbidity. Laboratorially liver dysfunction in COVID-19 is characterized by an increase in the level of transaminases, intrahepatic cholestasis, signs of hepatic cell insufficiency. Increased ALAT, thrombocytopenia and hypoalbuminemia are proved to be factors of severe course and increased mortality in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, the issues of early instrumental diagnosis of hepatopathies are actualized in this issue. The "gold standard" for instrumental assessment of liver structure is biopsy, but it is limited in use due to the invasiveness of the procedure. According to the WHO experts, priority in the study of post-covid syndrome should be given to the development of new non-invasive and accessible diagnostic methods. Taking into account the success in the use of ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of diffuse liver diseases in recent years, it seems that the most informative method in the diagnosis of post-covid liver damage is shear wave ultrasound elastography. The advantages of the method are established to be absence of radiation load on the patient and the doctor, the possibility of conducting the study under optimal visual navigation, non-invasiveness, the choice of any zone of interest, assessment of the structure and functional state of the liver. Shear wave ultrasound elastography is a promising innovative way to assess the structure of the liver in patients with post-COVID syndrome and requires further study.

Authors:   Department of Business Administration, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria
Published: October 2022

The drastic decline in the Igbo model of mentoring their young ones by the Igbo businessmen in recent times, which was orchestrated by rising employment of salesgirls in place of apprentices by Igbo businessmen, and the unwillingness of young ones of Igbo extraction to go through apprenticeship training have engendered the awakened interest for an empirical investigation to determine the effect of Igbo model of business mentoring and the sustainability of small and medium enterprises in Anambra state. Appropriate conceptual theoretical and empirical literatures were reviewed. The study hinged on the need for achievement theory. A questionnaire was used for the collection of data. Borg and Gall sampling technique was used to determine the sample size of 327 respondents drawn from three commercial cities of Onitsha, Nnewi, and Awka, all in Anambra State. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as t-test statistics and multiple regression models. Findings revealed that the Igbo model of business mentoring has a positive influence on the sustainability of small and medium enterprises in Anambra state. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendation is made: government should come up with policies that encourage the Igbo type of mentoring of young ones because mentoring the apprentice by the master is very important because it helps to build a strong business synergy in the future. The engagement of salespersons by the businessmen should be scrapped.

Authors: Okafor Okafor , C. M. , Opara Opara , Confidence Chinwe , Zwingina Christy Twaliwi
Published: October 2022

Climate change has been a global issue in the 21st century. A change in climate around the world is the trigger for global warming. The negative effect of global warming could be catastrophic for human kind. The development of technology and the rise of industries all over the world are the inevitable situations of global warming and climate change. The very real impact of both situations is on the environment. Lately, there is often a flood disaster that is almost evenly distributed throughout the world, not to mention landslides or other natural disasters. Indirectly, these disasters are the result of climate change which causes global warming happening around the world. Carbon accounting creates a competitive advantage for companies. Policy makers in companies and institutions nowadays are relying on carbon accounting to take decisions regarding climate change and environmental conservation. The important of this study is to demonstrate the significance of carbon accounting as a reflection to climate change in manufacturing industries and how it relates to risk management. The study also shows the readiness of industries in managing carbon accounting to mitigate the impact of climate change on the environment and raising the awareness of investors.
PENSION INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY IN NIGERIA
Authors: OYEDOKUN Godwin Emmanuel , O.C Russell , Somoye Somoye , AKINGUNOLA Richard O.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pension investment on financial efficiency in Nigeria. The study adopted an expost facto research design. The population of the study is 14 years of Nigeria’s economy from the year 2007-2020. Timeseries data were sourced for this study which are entirely secondary data from the Pension Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, and the World development indicator (WDI) of the World Bank Database. Autoregressive Distributed Delay Limitation (ARDL) bounds testing approach was adopted to examine the long and shortterm relationships between the series, using Eviews version 12. The longrun results show that there is evidence that pension investment in equities and mutual funds have a positive relationship with financial efficiency. This implies that increases in pension investment in equities and mutual funds will lead to an increase in financial efficiency in Nigeria. Conversely, there is evidence that pension investments in FGN securities and local money market securities have a negative relation with financial efficiency, thus increases in pension investments in FGN securities and local money market securities will lead to a fall in financial efficiency. However, the result of the shortrun model shows that pension investments in equities and local money market securities have a positive relationship with financial efficiency, while pension investment in FGN securities and mutual funds have a negative relationship with financial efficiency. The study suggested that financial sector efficiency can only be achieved through pension investment if the investments enable economic resources to be allocated to their best use across time and space without imposing unnecessary cost or rents on households and businesses.
Exploring Interculturality in Algerian Middle School EFL Textbooks
Authors: Hairech Faiza , Belkhir Yasmina Sakina
Published: October 2022

Textbooks are indispensable tools for any learning. Teaching and learning a language cannot be dissociated from its culture.  Nowadays, proficiency in a language is no more related to grammar mastery, vocabulary, or fluency. Accordingly, language users are presumed to communicate in real-life contexts.  Kramsch (1993) stresses the role of both language and culture as components of the latter as considerable in determining and shaping language use and usage. Therefore, it is noticeable that attention is considerably paid to the cultural elements in textbooks’ contents to assure adequate cultural understanding. Course books are also media for socializations as they vehicle the socio-cultural norms of the foreign language to be taught. Intercultural competency may be acquired from the content through different aspects (linguistic, visual). EFL textbooks content is not exclusively restricted to linguistic knowledge, but also has the objective of developing an intercultural competence of the target language among their learners. The pupils are in exposure to the target culture, yet their age (11-14) is critical as they might not be able to evaluate some cultural aspects that may collide with the home culture. In this prospect, we investigate how intercultural competence is articulated and presented in the four middle school textbooks of English (My book of English: First, second, third, and fourth levels). Our aim is to verify whether textbooks used for teaching English as a foreign language in Algerian public schools employ an intercultural approach, by examining how both the target and source cultures are depicted. The research tools that we used are checklists. Checklists were used in texts analyses to elicit the cultural aspects presented in the content.
Third-party artificial insemination and the problem of donating sperm and eggs - A comparative study between the Algerian law, Islamic law, French law and European laws in general
Authors: Souiki H'oriya
Published: October 2022

The progress of science in the medical field and the legal framing of artificial insemination have engendered the problem of third-party insemination in accordance with a legal framework that is provided by some countries. This mainly aims to guarantee the right to every person unable to procreate to have children. This situation led to the creation of sperm and egg banks which began to receive donations, free of charge, while protecting the confidentiality of donor-related information. The importance of the topic pushed us to carry out a comparative study in order to clarify the stance of the Algerian legislator on this issue, with respect to Islamic Law or Sharia, and then to discuss the legal framing of the sperm and egg donation process in the French and European laws. We also try to examine the way these countries address the most significant pressures they are exposed to from the children born by this method considering their right to know their lineage.
Thermal Tourism, Attractiveness And Governance In A Mountain Municipality, Perspective Of Local Populations: The Case Of Hammam-Guergour In Algeria
Authors: Fertas Lahcene , Benmahamed Hamid , Alouat Mohamed
Published: October 2022

Tourism activity plays a major role in the socio-economic development of territories, and especially more active and crucial in vulnerable regions such as mountainous areas. The purpose of this article is to participate in the development of thermal and mountain tourism in the municipality of Hammam-Guergour. It puts together the scientific literature on the topic and unveils the bond breaks of the population's socioeconomic and political connections that obstruct the tourism image. In the multi-criteria analysis, economic indicators were not only inappropriate to the development of tourism attractiveness, but also to the living environment indicators of the population reflecting a lack of satisfaction. The participation of the population in the decision-making process remains very disadvantageous, delaying the liberation of the region. A new vision of tourism policy focusing on direct participation of local residents (participatory tourism) would stimulate tourism activities in the municipality.
A Physical Geography Theory of the Different Origins of Western and Eastern Civilizations
Authors: Hanwen Mi
Published: October 2022

The idea that the common ancestor of the human family originated on the African continent about 7 to 5 million years ago is not much disputed by the academic community. However, humans who originated from the same place are nowadays very different. Due to historical origins, customs and living environment, not only are there huge differences in skin color, physique and appearance, but also cultural differences. As the saying goes, one side of the land nurtures one side of the people, and the difference in the geographical environment makes people from different regions not only different from other regions in terms of physiology but also significantly different in terms of culture and psychology. In this paper, we start with the difference in the geographical environment and analyze its influence on the religious, written aspects and science of Eastern and Western cultures. Thus, the conclusion that geographical differences are the root cause of the cultural differences between East and West is drawn to promote economic and cultural exchanges between East and West, and thus better promote the development of world culture.
Spatial Modeling for Urban Resilience Assessment: Using AHP and GIS (Case Study of Bou-Saâda City, Algeria)
Authors: Mayouf Zouhair , Nouibat Brahim
Published: October 2022

The aim of the research is spatial modeling to assess urban resilience. A group of Delphi experts were involved, in stages, to select the final criteria. Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) by (AHP), the final criteria were ranked according to weight and importance. Criteria maps within a GIS environment were combined with AHP results, to create an Urban Resilience Map (URM). The results showed that (52.19%) of the study area achieved high resilience, (30.86%) medium resilience and (16.95%) low resilience. The results also showed that there are differences between the neighborhoods of the city of Bou-Saâda in terms of resilience that can be determined spatially. The results of this research can be used as a decision aid such as providing suggestions to planners and managers in prioritizing their interventions (such as urban renewal of neighborhoods) by conducting checks on less resilience criteria, in order to support the city's ability to respond to shocks.
Street network and land use in the slum of Chouf Lekdad in Sétif (Algeria)
Authors: Alikhodja Mehdi
Published: October 2022

The phenomenon of slums in Algeria dates back to the 1930s following the deterioration of the rural economy and the mass exodus to the big cities. After independence, this phenomenon was accentuated and generalized to several towns. State efforts to eradicate informal settlements and relocate their inhabitants have not succeeded in solving this problem; on the contrary, slums have evolved into permanent settlements. The Chouf Lekdad district in Sétif illustrates this evolution and this change in status, hence the need to take a different look at this type of district. The objective of this work is to explore the spatial configuration of the Chouf Lekdad district through the study of its network of streets and the distribution of houses in space. To achieve this, we opted for the theory of space syntax using the axial map, all-line analysis and the Visibility graph analysis (VGA). The results revealed a hierarchy of streets and spaces as well as the importance, of certain areas such as mechanical access and the center of the slum.
Western Sahara: the stalemate of the issue and the continuation of the state of no war and no peace
Authors: Biskri Mounir , Guettas Samir
Published: October 2022

This article attempts to provide insight into the long-standing subject of Western Sahara through analysis and criticism. In comparison, all international and regional efforts failed to resolve this situation. That has remained constant since 1975. As a result, this paper will explore the magnitude of this issue, its roots, and the reasons for its decades-long stagnation. On this premise, we have split the subject into four essential elements, which are as follows: The Western Sahara issue is a zero-sum strategy game between the conflicting parties. The involvement of major powers in the issue's impasse will then focus on the United States of America, France, and Russia as new regional actors. Then we try to concentrate on the Guerguerat crisis as a new station for the Western Sahara issue's stalemate. Finally, we will attempt to discuss the deadlock of this issue within the framework of the United Nations, which has likewise failed to find a solution.

Authors: Duraj Petrit
Published: October 2022

This part of the speech has been enriched and is constantly being enriched with new words, both from other parts of the speech and from the adjective class itself. The most productive ways of adjective word formation are origin (affixation, articulation, articulation and affixation at the same time), composition and structure.Initial adjectives are those adjectives, which today are unanalyzable in their constituent parts, neither a word-forming theme nor a word-forming formant can be investigated. Besides type adjective: alive, evil, good, first, young, here also enter all the adjectives of foreign origin, which within Albanian are unresolvable in their constituent elements, eg: absolute, banal, decadent, elegant, naive, real etc.Derivative adjectives are those adjectives, when in present Albanian the source can be investigated, derivation from another word with the participation of different word-forming morphemes. Thus, these adjectives are resolvable, analyzable in their constituent elements. Here are distinguished derivative adjectives with: a) prefixation, b) suffixation, c) articulation and suffixation simultaneously, and d) articulation, prefixation and suffixation simultaneously.Our paper aims to give an insight into the types of adjectives according to the mode of word-formation, as well as their use in different grammatical circumstances.Keywords: typology, part of speech, adjective, word-formation.
