A study of the diagnostic value of tissue eosinophil infiltration in the structure of polyps of the human gastrointestinal tract and surrounding tissues was carried out. We investigated intestinal biopsies from 189 patients aged 40–90 years with polyps, cancer, metastases. This retrospective study allows us to note the possibility of using eosinophils in the development of criteria for early malignancy and a promising outcome of neoplasms in the mucous membrane. Eosinophils are important players in intercellular interactions within the polyp structure and the tissues around it. The complete absence of eosinophils in the tissue of malignant polyps indicates the malignancy of the neoplasm. We revealed relationship between apoptosis and eosinophilic infiltration; both of them affect the outcome and prognosis of polyp development. Apoptosis induction by eosinophils and programmed cambium necrosis in tumor progression need to be further researched.

Published: October 2021

Patients may have headache due to pathological issues occurring in the cervical spine and resulting in compression of the vertebral artery passing nearby. This comes along with disturbed blood supply to the brain. The aim of this study is to offer reliable grounds, and evaluate osteopathic correction when treating headache of tension (HAT) caused by a dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A comprehensive examination involved 26 patients aged 18 to 65. The study outcomes allow recommending to include soft osteopathic techniques in the set of therapeutic measures. In order to make osteopathic treatment available for patients with HAT caused by the TMJ dysfunction, computed tomography (CT) of the TMJ and cranio-cervical junction is a typical choice. Given the high efficiency of the combined work of an osteopath joining effort with an orthopedic dentist and an orthodontist who has a good command of neuromuscular correction approaches, it appears a feasible option to use such combined treatment in patients with the TMJ dysfunction-caused HAT. To improve the quality of osteopathic correction and maintain the positive outcome we recommend using a supporting teeth protector — an elastopositioning corrector or TMJ trainer. This enables to decompress the TMJ.

High-sensitivity three-core photonic crystal fiber sensor based on surface plasmon resonance with gold film coatings
Authors: Yang Youpeng , Qin Yafei , Lu Xinyu , Zeng Yu
Published: October 2021

A high-sensitivity three-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed in this paper. The gold film is selected as the plasmonic metal and coated on the outside surface of the PCF to excite the SPR phenomenon. There are three different diameter air holes of d1, d2, and d3 distributed on the cross-section of the sensor. Among them, sensor performance can be affected by changing the diameter of the central hole and the thickness of the gold film. The sensor shows the maximum confinement loss value and spectral sensitivity of 50 dB cm−1 and 30600 nm RIU−1, respectively, at analyte RI (na = 1.41), and the corresponding maximum resolution is 3.27 × 10–6. The above simulation result shows that the sensor has excellent performance, thus laying the foundation for future research.
Optical transfer function of inverse-phase composite zone plate devised for deep-focusing X-ray microscopes
Authors: Kagoshima Yasushi , Takayama Yuki
Published: October 2021

The optical transfer function (OTF) of an inverse-phase composite zone plate under incoherent illumination was numerically evaluated by convoluting the point spread function (PSF) and transmission distribution of a model sample with gradually changing spatial frequency. The PSF used in the simulation was obtained from our previous study on deep-focusing X-ray microscopes. As expected, the contrast in the sample image was lesser than that produced by a conventional zone plate. Phase-reversed contrast—spurious resolution—appeared at a high spatial frequency. Although the calculated OTF is slightly aberrated, its deep-focusing capability is advantageous for X-ray microimaging of thick samples.

Published: October 2021

Cu2SnS3 (CTS), an environmentally friendly semiconductor material that has little impact on the human body, was developed as an alternative material to silicon-based solar cells, which are currently the mainstream product in the solar cell market. In this study, by adopting the sol-gel dip coating method, a CTS thin film was produced at low cost without using a vacuum process for use as a solar cell light absorption layer. CTS thin films were prepared while varying the annealing temperature and the amount of α-cyclodextrin added, and the results were compared by different evaluation methods. In addition, the samples to which α-cyclodextrin was added showed peaks due to CTS at (112) and (220) in all the samples. The crystallinity was not found to depend on the amount of α-cyclodextrin added.
PETROLEUM ENGINEERING TERMINOLOGY IN THE ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Authors: ABDINAZAROV Khasan
Published: October 2021

Translation is of high importance for better assimilation of the specialized terminology, as it helps professionally oriented students to interpret scientific and technical texts of the oil and gas sector while reading. Furthermore, terminology of this field is being more required by officials in recent years due to the developments of oil and gas industry in our country. Additionally, learners feel a failure in translating specific vocabulary (technical terminology), which complicates the comprehension of context in the process of reading since they could hardly find L1 translation, and those translated from English into Uzbek, that indicates the lexical deficiency in the field of oil and gas in L1. Moreover, the increased number of borrowed words originated from English and Russian languages are being used in the Uzbek language not in an appropriate way. This paper highlights the theories of terminology expressed by Uzbek and foreign researchers. Moreover, the selected oil and gas terminology of the compared languages has been investigated in lexical-semantic aspect.

Authors: Gopal Awasthi Deepa , Jaywant Shailaja Sandeep
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic massively curtails social interactions and public life.For children educational institutions such as schools were closed and have started teaching online. governments recommend and enforce social distancing, that is, keeping physical distance from others, including friends and family members from different households. Many children are experiencing lack of normal routine, play resulting in psychological distress, leading to changes in their behaviour. Analysing their reactions and emotions is essential and may pave way for professionals like Occupational Therapists to provide appropriate intervention during the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. A Retrospective Survey design assessed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Behaviour among children in a Metropolitan city of India, by using online parent-reported questionnaires. 61.33% of participants belonged to a nuclear family with 46.41% of Survey entrants bearing one child, only. Sibling interaction often noted by parents in 44.33% children along with 68.04% increase in the same, during the COVID-19 induced Lockdown.34.81% parents reported increase in mood changes . 49.17 % reported increased irritability& 62% reported boredom in their children. The observed changes in the behaviour patterns in the current study may precipitate as negative long term emotional & psychological aftermath in children. The data revealed by the Survey may function as an evidence-based gesticulation to Occupational Therapy practitioners to remain armed for further actions amidst the Pandemic. Further, research regarding the long term effect on the Behaviour of children, is recommended especially in the Indian context.

Massimo il Greco e gli ordini religiosi dell’Occidente
Authors: Romoli Francesca
Published: October 2021

Maximus the Greek (c.1470-1556), born Michael Trivolis, is a complex figure. As a copyist and Dominican novice, Orthodox monk and humanist, he stands at the crossroads of different worlds, cultures and creeds. His life path unwound between his besieged homeland, humanist Italy – in the Republics of Florence and Venice and in the Papal States – Mount Athos and the Moscow of Vasili III and Ivan IV. This path brought him exceptionally into contact with both Latin and vernacular humanism and Latin Christianity, with the Greek and Slavic Byzantine tradition, with Orthodoxy and Islam, in a cultural, linguistic and religious polyphony that is at once his hallmark and the key to his literary legacy. The subject of this book is Maximus the Greek’s testimony regarding the Western religious orders contained in the Terrible and Memorable Narration, and the Perfect Form of Monastic Life and the Letter on the Franciscans and the Dominicans. The comparison with documentary evidence, made here for the first time, demonstrates the reliability of these works, casting light on the author’s life and the sources, places and people involved in it.

COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS IN THE LIST OF THE MAIN CORRECTIONAL MEANS FOR CONVICTS: SOME ASPECTS
Authors: Малолеткина Наталья Сергеевна
Published: October 2021

В статье рассматривается ряд теоретических проблем общественного воздействия как средства исправления осужденных (его содержание, субъекты осуществления, соотношение с другими средствами исправления и пр.) и недостатков правовой основы данного института. Приводятся практические примеры осуществления общественного воздействия в отношении осужденных к лишению свободы. Делается вывод, что общественное воздействие при ненадлежащем законодательном регулировании представляет собой важнейшее средство исправления осужденных (наряду с режимом), которое с учетом разносторонности субъектов его осуществления имеет многообразное содержание и фактически отчасти дублирует другие средства исправления.

The article examines a number of theoretical problems of community corrections as a means of correcting convicts (its content, subjects of implementation, correlation with other means of correction, etc.) and the shortcomings of the legal basis of this institution. Practical examples of the community corrections implementation in relation to persons sentenced to imprisonment are given. It is concluded that community corrections with improper legislative regulation is the most important means of correcting convicts (along with the regime), which, taking into account the versatility of the subjects of its implementation, has a diverse content and in fact partially duplicates other means of correction.

Published: October 2021

Abstract: This research is the application of quality control tools within the scope of increasing productivity of the packaging department at PT. XYZ. This study aims to determine the factors causing the decline in productivity in the packing warehouse area. The first step of the research is to analyze the input data using a Pareto diagram. The source of problems that occur from outside the packing area are four cases, namely Canceled Delivery, Part Received Without Documents, No Stock and Quality Issue. Meanwhile, for problems that occur from internal packaging, there are two, namely the No Packaging Box and No Operator Entering. By using the Ishikawa diagram and 5 whys, the sources of problems that occur in the internal packing area are analyzed further and obtained several sources of problems that contribute greatly to the decline in productivity in the packaging area, namely the process of purchasing packaging boxes which takes quite a long time and long working hours from the packaging team. Some of the solutions for internal problems offered include changing the carton box procurement process using blanket orders, upgrading the team leader's capabilities with order and budget monitoring capabilities, proposing changes in the production flow for semi-finished goods and a proposal to create a temporary warehouse for semi-finished goods.

Authors: Wang Lei , Wang Zi-Xu , Wong Philip Pong Weng , Zhang Qi
Published: October 2021

Most prior studies have investigated the relationship between green purchase attitude and behaviorbased on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). However, TPB is a behavioral theory based on acausal process, and thus ignores consumers’ motivational aspects. The purpose of this study is toexamine consumers’ motivational variables, in which monetary, convenience (location), hedonic andvirtual motivation (social media) influence consumers’ intentions to visit green hotels based ongenerational characteristics. A survey questionnaire was developed where a total of 775 questionnaireswere ultimately collected followed by subsequent empirical testing of the postulated hypotheses usingSPSS and Structural Equation Modelling. The results suggest monetary and virtual motivation positivelyinfluence green purchase attitude (GPA) respectively, while convenience negatively influence GPA.GPA displays a positive influence on green purchase intention (GPI) while hedonic motivation plays norole in this study. In addition, statistically significant differences in monetary, convenience, hedonic,virtual motivation and GPI were observed between generations of consumers towards green hotelselection. The theoretical and practical implications of the results were highlighted, including limitationsof the research. Lastly, this study addressed the relationship between motivational traits and behavioralintention in the hospitality and tourism field, and its results will provide useful information for greenhotels’ stakeholders.

The recent accumulation of increasingly densely sampled phylogenetic analyses of spiders has greatly advanced our understanding of evolutionary relationships within this group. Here, this diverse literature is reviewed and combined with earlier morphological analyses in an attempt to reconstruct the first fully resolved phylogeny for the spider fauna of the British Isles. The resulting tree highlights parts of the group where data are still too limited for a confident assessment of relationships, proposes a number of deviations from previously suggested phylogenetic hypotheses, and can serve as a framework for evolutionary and ecological interpretations of the biology of British spiders, as well as a starting point for future studies on a larger geographical scale.

The scientific article presents the duration of acaricidal effect of «Kenem» drug, and its economic feasibility for protecting cattle against ixodic ticks. As a result of the study, the acaricidal efficacy and the duration of the residual acaricidal effect of drugs are important components in the planning of anti-tick measures. From a practical point of view, the economic feasibility of treating cattle against ixodic ticks in the presented conditions of acaricides in the southern regions is considered important. Despite the fact that the cost of the drug per 100 head exceeds the cost of a similar drug by 1 788.15 tenge, the frequency of its use is less, and additional installations are not required. This is due to the long duration of residual acaricidal effect of Kenem, which is 30 days, which allows to reduce the number of therapeutic measures.When calculating the economic feasibility for the use of acaricides to protect cattle against ixodic ticks, the most convenient way to prevent the sucking of ixodic ticks to animals is the local application of Kenem, which does not require special equipment and special skills of technical staff. Drug duration is 30 days, therefore the cost of its use for the entire season of active ticks per 1 animal is 44% cheaper, compared to veteran, i.e. 1,421.4 tenge.

Water seepage (WS) is a paramount defect during tunnel operation and directly affects the operational safety of tunnels. Effectively predicting and diagnosing WS are problems that urgently need to be solved. This paper presents a standard and an evaluation index system for WS grades and constructs a sample dataset from monitoring recoreds for demonstration purposes. First, we use bootstrap resampling to build a random forest (RF) seepage risk prediction model. Second, the optimal branch and parameters are selected by the 5-fold cross-validation method to establish the RF prediction training model. Additionally, to illustrate the effectiveness of the method, the operational stage of Wuhan Metro Line 3 in China is taken as a case study. The results conclude that the segment spalling area, crack width, and loss rate of the rebar cross-section have a strong influence on WS. Finally, the test data are predicted, and the prediction result error index is calculated. Compared with the predictions of some traditional machine learning methods, such as support vector machines and artificial neural networks, RF prediction has the highest accuracy and is the closest to the true value, which demonstrates the accuracy of the model and its application potential.
Solar Anti-Hale Bipolar Magnetic Regions: A Distinct Population with Systematic Properties

Besides their causal connection with long and short-term magnetic variability, solar bipolar magnetic regions are our chief source of insight into the location, size, and properties of large-scale toroidal magnetic structures in the solar interior. The great majority of these regions (≈95%) follow a systematic east–west polarity orientation (Hale’s law) that reverses in opposite hemispheres and across even and odd cycles. These regions also present a systematic north–south polarity orientation (Joy’s law) that helps build the poloidal field that seeds the new cycle. Exceptions to Hale’s law are rare and difficult to study due to their low numbers. Here, we present a statistical analysis of the inclination (tilt) with respect to the equator of Hale versus anti-Hale regions spanning four solar cycles, considering two complementary tilt definitions adopted in previous studies. Our results show that anti-Hale regions belong to a separate population than Hale regions, suggesting a different originating mechanism. However, we find that anti-Hale region tilts present similar systematic tilt properties and similar latitudinal distributions to Hale regions, implying a strong connection between the two. We see this as evidence that they belong to a common toroidal flux system. We speculate that anti-Hale regions originate from poloidal field sheared and strengthened on the spot after the emergence of Hale regions with very strong poloidal contribution. Thus, they are not in contradiction with the idea of largely coherent toroidal flux systems inside the solar interior.
The Prominence Driven Forced Reconnection in the Solar Corona and Associated Plasma Dynamics

Using the multitemperature observations from SDO/AIA on 2019 December 30, we provide a signature of prominence driven forced magnetic reconnection in the corona and associated plasma dynamics from 09:20 UT to 10:38 UT. A hot prominence segment erupts with a speed of ≈21 km s−1 and destabilizes the entire prominence system. Thereafter, it rises upward in the north from 09:28 UT to 09:48 UT with a speed of 24 km s−1 . The eruptive prominence stretches overlying field lines upward with the speed of 27–28 km s−1, which further undergo the forced reconnection. The coronal plasma also flows southward with a speed of 7 km s−1, and both of these inflows trigger the reconnection at ≈09:48 UT. Thereafter, the eastward and westward magnetic channels are developed and separated. The east–west reorganization of the magnetic fields starts creating bidirectional plasma outflows toward the limb with their respective speeds of 28 and 37 km s−1. Their upper ends are diffused in the overlying corona, transporting another set of upflows with the speeds of ≈22 km and 19 km s−1. The multitemperature plasma (log T

e
= 6.0–7.2 K) evolves and elongates to a length of ≈105 km on the reorganized fields. The hot plasma and remaining prominence threads move from the reconnection region toward another segment of a prominence in the eastward direction. The prominence–prominence/loop interaction and associated reconnection generate jet-like eruptions with a speed of 178–183 km s−1. After the formation of the jet, the overlying magnetic channel disappears in the corona.

The Crab Pulsar’s radio emission is unusual, consisting predominantly of giant pulses, with durations of about a microsecond but structure down to the nanosecond level, and brightness temperatures of up to 1037 K. It is unclear how giant pulses are produced, but they likely originate near the pulsar’s light cylinder, where corotating plasma approaches the speed of light. We report observations in the 400–800 MHz frequency band, where the pulses are broadened by scattering in the surrounding Crab Nebula. We find that some pulse frequency spectra show strong bands, which vary during the scattering tail, in one case showing a smooth upward drift. While the banding may simply reflect interference between nanosecond scale pulse components, the variation is surprising, as in the scattering tail the only difference is that the source is observed via slightly longer paths, bent by about an arcsecond in the nebula. The corresponding small change in viewing angle could nevertheless reproduce the observed drift by a change in Doppler shift, if the plasma that emitted the giant pulses moved highly relativistically, with a Lorentz factor γ ∼ 104 (and without much spread in γ). If so, this would support models that appeal to highly relativistic plasma to transform ambient magnetic structures to coherent gigahertz radio emission, be it for giant pulses or for potentially related sources, such as fast radio bursts.
Simulating Relic Gravitational Waves from Inflationary Magnetogenesis
Authors: Brandenburg Axel , Sharma Ramkishor
Published: October 2021

We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of the production of magnetic fields and gravitational waves (GWs) in the early universe during a low energy scale matter-dominated post-inflationary reheating era, and during the early subsequent radiative era, which is strongly turbulent. The parameters of the model are determined such that it avoids a number of known physical problems and produces magnetic energy densities between 0.03% and 0.5% of the critical energy density at the end of reheating. During the subsequent development of a turbulent magnetohydrodynamic cascade, magnetic fields and GWs develop a spectrum that extends to higher frequencies in the millihertz (nanohertz) range for models with reheating temperatures of around 100 GeV (150 MeV) at the beginning of the radiation-dominated era. However, even though the turbulent cascade is fully developed, the GW spectrum shows a sharp drop for frequencies above the peak value. This suggests that the turbulence is less efficient in driving GWs than previously thought. The peaks of the resulting GW spectra may well be in the range accessible to space interferometers, pulsar timing arrays, and other facilities.
