Authors: Krylova I.F. , Romanenko Victoria Andreevna
Published: June 2021

This article raises the problem of transposition (transposition) of the literary text of the verbal code into the language of cinema, which is relevant in modern linguistics. Within the framework of the presented research, the main stages of the development of cinematography, as well as the main techniques and types of editing, are described. The aim of the study is to analyze the historical stage in the development of a new type of art (cinema), its impact on society, as well as to analyze the relevance of such a phenomenon as the adaptation of a literary work of art. The relevance of addressing this topic is due to the development of modern filmmaking, the number of film adaptations that have come out in recent years. The article describes the views on cinema and film adaptation by Umberto Eco and David Lynch, suggesting that the film adaptation of literary works is a new type of artistic creation that was born in the 20th century and requires more careful research. The article presents an analysis of the novel by L.N. Tolstoy «Anna Karenina», as well as the main world adaptations of the novel.

Análisis preliminar del “Programa para desarrollar la conciencia silábica en niños y niñas con déficits auditivos”
Authors: González del Yerro Asunción , García Cristina , Torremocha Tamara
Published: June 2021

La eficacia que muestran los programas dirigidos a desarrollar la conciencia fonológica en la prevención de dificultades en el aprendizaje lector hace que los científicos y profesionales implicados en la educación del alumnado con pérdidas auditivas traten de dilucidar si este tipo entrenamiento resulta igualmente eficaz para apoyar el desarrollo de la conciencia fonológica y prevenir las dificultades en el aprendizaje de la lectoescritura que se asocian habitualmente a la sordera. Sin embargo, la investigación realizada sobre estos programas preventivos es hasta el momento muy escasa. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los efectos que tiene el “Programa para el desarrollo de la conciencia silábica” (García, 2014) sobre la conciencia silábica de dos alumnos de cinco años con déficit auditivo e implante coclear que asistían a un colegio bilingüe y bicultural y explorar el tipo de apoyos que requirieron para resolver los ítems que no pudieron resolver sin ayuda. El análisis de los resultados muestra una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las puntuaciones obtenidas antes y después de la intervención en el total de la Prueba de Segmentación Silábica (Ruíz, 2000), en las subpruebas de identificación, comparación y omisión de sílabas, y en la cantidad y tipo de apoyos que necesitaron para resolver los ítems. Se discute el proceso por el que la población con pérdidas auditivas severas y profundas adquiere la conciencia silábica y la influencia que tienen las características fonológicas de las lenguas en ese desarrollo.
Dual language intervention in a case of severe speech sound disorder
Authors: Ramos Eliane , Mead Jean
Published: June 2021

This single case study of a bilingual child with a severe speech sound disorder examined whether language transference occurs when treatment is provided in L1 or L2 and whether monolingual or bilingual intervention is most effective. A 6-year 5-month old sequential Portuguese/English bilingual female was seen for 3 separate intervention phases lasting about 2 months each. Four phonological processes common to both languages were targeted in either monolingual or bilingual conditions in each phase. The child’s speech was examined with formal tests and analyses of spontaneous speech after each phase. Results indicated that transference occurred in both directions for some processes (L1 to L2 and L2 to L1), but in general L1 had to be specifically targeted for significant improvement to occur. For both languages, the bilingual condition was most effective. A follow-up assessment one year after Portuguese treatment was interrupted revealed that the child continued to make progress in English only (the only language treated for the entire year) and her Portuguese phonology still showed the same errors as in the previous year. This case study provides further evidence that bilingual intervention is the preferred choice for bilingual children. Implications for language choice and future studies are discussed.

Published: June 2021

La memoria es una de las capacidades cerebrales humanas más complejas y su alteración conlleva grandes trastornos funcionales. Se divide según su temporalidad y según su contenido. La Enfermedad de Alzheimer es el tipo de demencia más común y se trata de una enfermedad que provoca un deterioro en el funcionamiento neuropsicológico. Además, contribuye entre el 60% y 70% de los casos de demencia y cada año se registran 7,7 millones de nuevos casos. Esta enfermedad se divide en tres etapas: fase inicial, fase intermedia y fase terminal. La fluidez verbal se define como una tarea de producción del lenguaje que implica la puesta en marcha de mecanismos necesarios para el acceso al léxico. El objetivo es determinar si existe afectación en la fluidez verbal semántica comparando sujetos con Enfermedad de Alzheimer y sujetos control. Se evaluó a un total de 29 sujetos y se aplicó una prueba que evalúa la fluidez verbal semántica llamada “set test Isaac”, está formada por cuatro categorías semánticas (colores, ciudades, animales y frutas). El análisis de los resultados reflejó diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos así como la validez de la prueba. La fluidez verbal semántica se puede ver afectada en aquellas personas diagnosticadas de Enfermedad de Alzheimer. El set test Isaac resultó una prueba válida para discriminar la fluidez verbal semántica en sujetos con Enfermedad de Alzheimer y sujetos control.
La imitación como herramienta para investigar y evaluar el desarrollo lingüístico temprano: un estudio piloto de repetición de palabras y pseudopalabras
Authors: Mariscal Sonia , Gallego Carlos
Published: June 2021

La habilidad para repetir palabras y pseudopalabras como medida de la memoria fonológica correlaciona con el desarrollo léxico y constituye un buen marcador clínico de los trastornos graves del lenguaje. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de las investigaciones al respecto han sido realizadas con niños hablantes de inglés y/o mayores de 4 años de edad. En este artículo se presenta una tarea de repetición de este tipo adecuada a niños españoles de 2 a 4 años. Se presentaron un conjunto de 18 palabras y 18 pseudopalabras emparejadas y manipuladas sistemáticamente en su longitud y estructura prosódica a un total de 53 niños. Las palabras (monosílabas, bisílabas y trisílabas) se seleccionaron teniendo en cuenta su frecuencia en el lenguaje infantil y se tomaron de la lista de vocabulario de la versión española de los Inventarios MacArthur-Bates de Desarrollo Comunicativo. Se administró también una prueba de vocabulario receptivo. La tarea de repetición de palabras y pseudopalabras tuvo altos niveles de respuesta, incluso con los niños más pequeños. Los resultados muestran sensibilidad de la tarea a la edad, al tipo de estímulo y a la longitud del ítem. Asimismo, el rendimiento muestra una relación significativa con el rendimiento en la prueba de vocabulario. Las implicaciones del conjunto de los resultados son discutidas en relación con los planteamientos teóricos actualmente vigentes sobre la polémica cuestión de qué miden este tipo de tareas. Se resaltará también el valor de estas tareas como método de evaluación de las habilidades fono-léxicas tempranas en lengua española.

Published: June 2021

The current digital landscape is based on platform capitalism and on the cloud concept in which different services (music platforms, instant messaging services, live music companies, sellers, device companies, music major labels, radio players) try to control music/sound circulation. The new century started with the development of new devices — the iPod, smartphones, AI speakers — and distribution modes (podcasting, streaming) and the emergence of voice interaction to control devices. In this context, this paper develops a value chain defining the diverse key intermediaries in the management, accumulation, distribution, and access to information phases.
The coming age of adversarial social bot detection
Authors: Cresci Stefano , Petrocchi Marinella , Spognardi Angelo , Tognazzi Stefano
Published: June 2021

Social bots are automated accounts often involved in unethical or illegal activities. Academia has shown how these accounts evolve over time, becoming increasingly smart at hiding their true nature by disguising themselves as genuine accounts. If they evade, bots hunters adapt their solutions to find them: the cat and mouse game. Inspired by adversarial machine learning and computer security, we propose an adversarial and proactive approach to social bot detection, and we call scholars to arms, to shed light on this open and intriguing field of study.

HOW COSO ERM AND SHIMODEL ALGORITHM CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTERPRISE PERFORMANCE
Authors:   Israel Vehicle Importers Association, Aviram Shayb Hezi
Published: June 2021

Based on theoretical model (COSO ERM), I developed a tool that companies can use to correctly identify the risks they were exposed to, to prevent operational crises in due time, as there is no such a tool publicly available for companies to use. The objective was to offer a solution for all kind of organizations for the problem of correctly identifying and mitigating operational risk exposure, to consolidate their position and be able to prevent organizational crises. This is particularly important as it seems that a “permanentizing of crises” has occurred in the business environment. Compared to the other tools existing in the field of risk management, available to the public use, the mathematical algorithm is offering specific instructions for the managers to use, not just theoretical guidelines. Also, the tool offers a unique feature of being able to be applied for any kind of business organization, from any kind of business field, due to its capacity to adapt to the specificities of every enterprise. Meanwhile, while it seems to be very practical, it is based on a right theoretical framework, supported by the complexity theory.

The autonomy that has been carried out since 1999 in Indonesia refers to Law number 32 of 2004, which has been revised. Thus, local governments are given the authority to manage finances independently. The use of finance must be carried out accountably and transparently. The study was conducted in the Deli Serdang regency government – Indonesia, with descriptive qualitative research. The data were obtained primarily by the documentation technique, which is a regional financial statement document for two years, a central and local government regulation document. The results showed that; 1) preparation of financial statements, the Deli Serdang regency government has implemented a financial accounting system with inadequate equipment such as an uncomputerized system that has delayed financial statements; 2) delays in financial statements are also caused by unskilled human resources and a bit number of employees for the application of government financial accounting systems; 3) financial statements at the end of the year found that the calculation of the budget, calculation of the budget memorandum, cash flow, and balance sheets are in accordance. However, it is constrained by the unavailability of data comparisons with the previous year; and 4) the structure of government financial management organizations in the form of a direct line, in which leaders and employees have direct responsibility regarding their duties. This can facilitate the coordination of supervisors for the better.

Authors: K Manal , MB Shabina , V. K Suresh Baboo
Published: June 2021

Background:- Cytomegalovirus, a Herpes virus is the most common virus causing congenital viral infections. Sensorineueal hearing loss is the most common non hereditary manifestation. Majority of the babies are asymptomatic or have non specific symptoms at birth. An early diagnosis can help in starting antiviral treatment based on the clinical disease to prevent end organ damage and to intervene early in babies with hearing impairment which can reduce long term sequelae.
Objectives :- The aim of the study is to diagnose and quantitate neonatal CMV infection by qRTPCR (Quantitative Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) ,to evaluate the proportion and clinical profile of congenital CMV infections in a tertiary care hospital.
Materials and Methods:- This cross sectional diagnostic evaluation was done in the Dept. of Microbiology and Neonatal unit of Dept of Paediatrics, Govt Medical college .Kozhikode from August 2017 to December 2018. Details of demographic data, clinical profile, and CMV viral load in urine in various clinical infections were obtained and analyzed. Urine samples from 225 babies were received and processed in the Microbiology Department. DNA isolation and amplification was performed using commercial DNA extraction kit and CMV PCR kit for detection and quantification of CMV.
Results:- Of 225 babies with clinical features suggestive of CMV infection, CMV-DNA was detected and quantitated in urine of 27 babies (12%). The most common clinical presentation was hearing impairment, seen in 22 babies.
Conclusion:- RT-qPCR helps in diagnosing and quantitating CMV in congenital neonatal infection which helps in deciding on therapy and assessing response to treatment,and can predict risk for long term sequelae. Diagnosis of congenital CMV in the newborn period is important for identifying those with neurologic abnormalities where appropriate treatment and management is essential.

Détermination d’un Nouveau Système de Critères de Transfert de L’état Vers les Collectivités Territoriales au Maroc
Authors: Effina Driss , Fahim Othmane
Published: June 2021

Les inégalités territoriales renvoient généralement à une situation de déséquilibre entre les territoires. Il s’agit d’un déséquilibre économique, social et de bien-être entre les populations des différents territoires du pays. Les écarts entre les populations et les territoires sont quantifiables à travers plusieurs indicateurs socio-économiques et culturels. Le phénomène des inégalités territoriales au Maroc traduit une situation de déficit structurel. Des retards sont observés en matière de développement social et humain dans les différentes régions. Pour remédier à ces carences, le modèle de solidarité territoriale en vigueur est construit autour de plusieurs mécanismes de financement (BGE, ressources des CT, fonds spécialisés). Ces mécanismes sont loin de pouvoir combler les déficits et répondre aux besoins exprimés par les collectivités territoriales. De plus, ce modèle connait l’intervention de plusieurs acteurs (Etat, CT…) sans un cadre de gouvernance bien défini. Ce papier propose un nouveau système de critères et d’orientations pour améliorer l’efficacité du système de solidarité en vigueur afin d’accélérer la résorption des déficits sociaux, de lutter contre les déficits anciens et de créer une équité en matière de répartition de ressources financières transférées du central vers les territoires.
In Vitro Assessment of Diet-Derived Phytochemicals on PSA Secretion
Authors: C. Onuoha , C.G. Ikimi
Published: June 2021

Prostate cancer (PCa) is increasingly a global public health burden. The prostate specific antigen (PSA) is the major biomarker for diagnosing and managing PCa. Due to the importance of PSA as a biomarker and as a downstream product of the androgen receptor (AR), it was imperative to expose LNCaP cells to selective diet-derived phytochemicals and investigate the effect on PSA protein secretion. The phytochemicals: Curcumin, 3,3’-Diindolylmethane (DIM) and Epigallcatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) were utilised singly and in paired combinations as in vitro treatments. The ELISA technique was utilised to assess secreted PSA levels. Results obtained indicated that DIM posed inhibitory effects to PSA production and secretion. Uniquely, DIM lowered PSA levels significantly when compared to curcumin and EGCG. This finding corroborates with previous reports where DIM was observed to inhibit AR protein expression. It is suggestive that DIM targets the androgen receptor and its downstream pathway that produces PSA. In conclusion, DIM may hold overwhelming potential chemoprevention and management of PCa, and can be harnessed for enhanced clinical applications.

Published: June 2021

Effect of various surface sterilisation treatments on medicinal plants Salvadora persica andSolanum surattense has been studied for in-vitro propagation. Surface sterilisation treatment was appliedby physical, chemical and physiochemical means. Chemical sterilisation was done with sodium hypochlorite,physically with sonication and physiochemically with combination of both. Sodium hypochlorite alonewas found to be effective for smooth textured plant i.e., Salvadora persica, whereas for rough texturedplant Solanum surattense a combination of both physiochemical means yielded good results. However,sonication alone did not render the effective way of surface sterilisation. Moreover, for Salvadora persica,10% sodium hypochlorite was effective in eliminating bacterial or fungal growth whereas in Solanumsurattense, a concentration of 15% sodium hypochlorite proved to be effective. In general, best resultswere achieved in the combined treatment by physiochemical means.

Authors: Otoide Jonathan Eromosele , Tedela Patrick Olugbenga
Published: June 2021

Matured leaves of Senna occidentalis (L.) were collected along the sides of busy roads of Oluku,Agbor and Sapele in Benin city, Nigeria where they were constantly exposed to air pollution from vehiculartraffic (polluted populations). Others were collected from forest areas of Ebvomodu, Ebvoneka and Eyaenvillages, each located within the distances of 50-60 km away from Benin city, where there was no sourceof vehicular air pollution(non-polluted populations). Peelings of the adaxial (upper) and the abaxial (lower)leaf epidermis were stained and microscopic examination and line drawings results showed that the leavesof the polluted populations suffered epidermal cell aberrations which ranged from plugged stomata,epidermal cell erosion and occasional leaf perforations caused by the corrosive activity of some of thepollutants as they undergo chemical reactions. These forms of damages were not observed in the non-pollutedpopulations which were healthy with opened stomatal pores. At the upper (adaxial) epidermis, the meanlengths (µm) of stomatal pores of leaves of non-polluted populations of collections were 0.64 ± 0.41,0.76 ± 0.84 and 0.74 ± 0.92, respectively and at the lower (abaxial) epidermis, the mean lengths were 0.61± 0.81, 1.40 ± 0.95 and 0.71 ± 0.81 from Ebvomodu, Ebvoneka and Eyaen, respectively. In the same vein,the mean width (µm) of pores of stomata of the non-polluted leaves collected from Ebvomodu, Ebvonekaand Eyaen were 1.14 ± 0.16, 0.32 ± 0.63 and 0.32 ± 0.11, respectively, at the upper (adaxial) epidermis.At the lower (abaxial) epidermis, the mean width (µm) of pores were 0.22 ± 0.25, 0.30 ± 0.51 and 0.39 ±0.16 for collections from Ebvomodu, Ebvoneka and Eyaen, respectively. The stomatal pores of leaves ofthe polluted populations on the other hand were impossible to be measured because they were pluggedby particulate air pollutants from the busy roads. It was opined that the leaves of the polluted populationswould suffer eco-physiological stress by virtue of their plugged stomatal pores.

The quality of public water supply is getting deteriorating due to increasing population of Lahore city. Moreover, the effects of microbial water pollutants on health of population of study area have been addressed. In this research, presence of Escherichia coli in pre & post monsoon seasons has been focused. The water samples were taken from tube wells as well as adjacent houses. A questionnaire survey was also conducted to find out the  responses of people in study area. It was clear from the results of the study that E. coli were detected in all the water samples of public water supply system. An increase in growth of pathogens was also noticed in post monsoon season. It was also proved from study that many people were  suffering from diarrhoea at sample places where E. coli were identified. The mixing of sewage with drinking water was the major cause of presence of pathogens in water samples of houses although they were less or absent in water samples of tube wells.

Published: June 2021

This research study aims to establish liberation characteristics of Padhrar coal by using various  methods including fractionation method, megascopic and microscopic analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Sieve analysis revealed that more than 83% of the coal lied in the medium particle size range of -26.670+6.680 mm. The results of fractionation analysis indicated that most of the sulphur was found in the smaller sized fractions having particle size less than 6.680 mm while most of the ash was found to be associated at larger particle size (+26.670 mm) and at relatively smaller particle size (-6.680 mm). It was found that Padhrar coal consisted of three major minerals namely; quartz, pyrite and kaolinite. These minerals were found to be associated with organic matter at different particle size levels, thus making the nature of the Padhrar coal more complex for its cleaning.

A bench-scale beneficiation study was performed on low-grade complex lead-zinc ore of Duddar area, District Lasbela, Balochistan Province, Pakistan. The polymetallic ore under investigation contains galena and sphalerite as valuable minerals of lead and zinc. The low-grade ore was upgraded by selective sequential froth flotation technology to recover both minerals. An effort was made to investigate the effect of important variables on grade and recovery of concentrates and to design the process flow sheet. Different parameters of flotation process such as particle size of the feed, pH and % solids of the pulp, speed of impeller, type of reagents (collectors, frothers, regulators and modifiers) and their quantities, conditioning time and flotation time were optimized to attain maximum grade and recovery of respective concentrates. The rougher concentrates obtained were subjected to one regrinding and two cleaning operations to achieve higher-grade concentrates of both metals. Bench-scale flotation tests show that it is possible to obtain a lead concentrate assaying 65.24% Pb with recovery rate of 81.32% and a zinc concentrate containing 55.63% Zn content with recovery rate of 80.28%. Both the concentrates meet the specifications required for metallurgical and chemical grades.
