Authors: Aminin Zainul , Leliana Ayunita
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this study was to explore students' activities and perceptions in carrying out online lectures through the WhatsApp Group application, Google Classroom, and Zoom and finding effective ways to study during the COVID-19 outbreak. This study was expected to identify the readiness of students to follow online lectures and find effective ways to study as well as being the basis for higher education institutions to establish policies for implementing online lectures. The researcher used a qualitative study. The participants were the 33 EFL students of the English Department both male and female who joined the Essential Writing Class. The researcher used convenience sampling which invited subjects to participate. The instruments used in this research were a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Data analysis used was thematic coding. The results show that most students were ready to study online. They only focused on the material. However, they did not pay attention to the way they learned; that was online learning. There are three aspects involved to make the class more effective; they are the lecturer, the students, and the media. These three aspects must work together to create effective online courses. Keywords: perception, readiness, online
Cinema queer brasileiro ou as veias abertas da política da imagem
Authors: Marconi Dieison
Published: March 2021

Proponho, neste ensaio, refletir sobre como alguns filmes queer brasileiros contemporâneos nos levam a deixar de lado as perspectivas logocêntricas ocidentais e as políticas de representação a fim de compreender os cinemas queer enquanto operações da política da imagem. Aproprio-me, então, da ideia de política da imagem do historiador e filósofo Jacques Rancière para sugerir que: 1) a política em filmes queer é possível de ser verificada, sobretudo, na sua eficácia estética de cunho dissensual; 2) as relações entre estética e política, engendradas por filmes queer contemporâneos, se desvencilham do paradigma de “cinema político” que nos foi herdado do cinema brasileiro moderno, mais especificamente do Cinema novo; e 3), a produção contemporânea de filmes queer nacionais constituem uma cena polêmica que provoca um dano no visível e no dizível das cenas consensuais, as quais, durante muito tempo, enquadraram “o Brasil” a partir de uma macropolítica situadamente branca, cisgênera, heterossexual e de classe média.
O que o cinema quer da gente é coragem: negridade e dissidência sexual & de gênero nas produções da Rosza Filmes

A partir a produção da Rosza filmes, penso em como os longas-metragens Café com Canela (2017), Ilha (2018) e Até o Fim (2019), dirigidos por Glenda Nicácio e Ary Rosa, sugerem táticas de descolonização da imagem e do mundo que emergem da articulação entre negridade e dissidências sexuais & de gênero.
Bodylands para além da in/visibilidade lésbica no cinema: brincando com água
Authors: Brandão Alessandra Soares , De Sousa Ramayana Lira
Published: March 2021

Esse é um texto que esboça, na deriva e provisoriedade do gesto ensaístico, modos de pensar as existências lésbicas no cinema para além de uma compreensão da problemática da in/visibilidade como algo restrito ao olhar, à representação ou representatividade. Buscamos acentuar o desejo lésbico naquilo que ativa outros sentidos na paisagem audiovisual, que chamamos de bodyland, e que diz respeito às dinâmicas entre o corpo da personagem lésbica, o corpo do filme e o corpo da espectadora. Um espaço sensível, político e háptico que experimentamos, nesse texto, a partir de uma perspectiva ex-ótica da imagem em movimento, tateando algumas obras recentes à procura de outros sentidos muitas vezes metaforizados e intensificados pelas formas fluidas da água e do fogo. Nesse artigo, trataremos especificamente das dinâmicas da água para pensar o desejo lésbico no cinema.
Resenha de A arte queer do fracasso, de Jack Halberstam
Authors: Azevedo Adriana
Published: March 2021

Em 2020 a Companhia Editora de Pernambuco (Cepe editora) nos ofertou a tradução de A arte queer do fracasso, de Jack Halberstam, um marco nos estudos queer, quase dez anos depois do lançamento do original em inglês (The Queer Art of Faillure Duke University Press; Illustrated edição de 12 agosto 2011 – de quando Halberstam ainda assinava como Judith Halberstam). Por conta das conturbações e das crises que atravessamos, infelizmente o livro não fez tanto barulho quanto deveria, já que o autor precisou cancelar sua visita ao Brasil e os debates que aconteceriam em livrarias, como a Blooks do Rio de Janeiro, foram cancelados em decorrência da pandemia do Covid-19. O livro, no entanto, se manifesta como uma leitura necessária e incontornável no campo da teoria queer e feminismos.
US-China trade war: Impact on chemical exporting firms from India to US
Authors: Siddiqui Areej Aftab , Singh Parul
Published: March 2021

With the onset of the US-China trade war in July 2018, the trade patterns between China, the US, and India have undergone a tremendous change. The number of products in which China had a competitive advantage in terms of exports to the US has declined in the last 9 months. A number of developing countries may be benefitted from the ongoing tariff war between the US and China, like Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Korea. In the present study, an attempt has been made to analyse the impact of the US-China trade war on exports of India to the US. The sector which has been selected is the chemical sector comprising of organic and inorganic chemicals as chemicals are one of the top-exported products from India to the US. To analyse the impact, the difference-in-differences technique of regression has been applied. The results indicate that after July 2018, i.e., the commencement of the US-China trade war, the impact on firms exporting chemicals from India to the US has been significant and firms in India may be a potential source for chemicals for the US provided the right policy measures are exercised in India. The results indicate that the trade war between the US and China has had a positive impact on the chemical exports from India to the US. The chemical exports from India to the US have increased post-July 2018, though not at a steep rate. This indicates that India has the potential to export chemicals to the US
Internal control effectiveness: A study of medical institutions

Published: March 2021

As a healthcare organization, hospitals should professional service to their clients. Therefore, hospitals have obligation to improve overall service quality. In exploring the relationship between hospital budget control and organizational effectiveness, the hospital’s management staff has rich professional medical knowledge, they still have not received the training of general corporate organization and the management technology of corporate management. To improve the effectiveness of the organization, managers in hospitals should have enough experience in management control and rely on peer control. Therefore, internal control is a management process that integrates various management control and evaluation measures within the hospital, this study believes that the management staff of medical institutions should use common standards to evaluate the degree of a hospital operation, management efficiency, and medical quality. An internal control system can be simultaneously built and implemented by the topmost level of management in a hospital. It involves the commercial and business experiences related to an organization’s control, financial, and other systems. It regularly and effectively ensures compliance with management policies while safeguarding assets as well as the completeness and accuracy of safety records. Internal control is an indispensable aspect of the governance norms and methods of many companies. The hospital can also achieve value enhancement and sustainable existence through the continuous operation of the internal control system designed, and the supervision of external audit firms.
Increased Expression of PAD4 in Neutrophils of MPO-ANCA Associated Vasculitis and its Correlation with the Vasculitis Activity

Published: March 2021

Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-specific anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody
(ANCA) associated vasculitis (MPO-AAV) is the most common ANCA
associated vasculitis (AAV) in china and other East Asian countries. Its
pathogenesis remained elusive. We evaluated the expression of
peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD4) in neutrophils from MPO-AAV and
explored the relationship between the expression and the vasculitis
activity, and also investigated the pathogenic mechanism. 40 patients
initially diagnosed with MPO-AAV in the active state and 40 comparable
healthy controls (HC) were enrolled in this study. The patient disease
activity were evaluated with Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Index
version 3 (BVAS-V3). The expression of PAD4 in their neutrophils, which
was described as percentage of PAD4+ neutrophils in all neutrophils and
mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of PAD4+ neutrophils, was measured by
flow cytometry (FCM). Their serum level of NETs, C5a and MPO-ANCA were
detected using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The percentage
of PAD4+ neutrophils, MFI of PAD4+ neutrophils, the levels of serum NETs
and C5a were markedly higher in patient group than that in HC group.
Meanwhile, in patient group, the percentage of PAD4+ neutrophils, MFI of
PAD4+ neutrophils and MPO-ANCA presented significantly correlation with
NETs. Although univariable analysis showed the percentage of PAD4+
neutrophils, MFI of PAD4+ neutrophils, NETs, C5a and MPO-ANCA had
respective correlation with BVAS, multivariable analysis indicated that
only the percentage of PAD4+ neutrophils as well as the level of serious
MPO-ANCA owned independent correlations with BVAS.PAD4 might be a new
potential target for MPO-AAV treatment in the future.

Background: Tailgut cysts (TGCs) are benign congenital abnormalities
that usually present with non-specific symptoms, comprising a diagnostic
dilemma for the physicians. The aim of this study was to systematically
review the literature concerning clinical manifestations, diagnostic
modalities and histologic findings of TGCs and highlight current
knowledge on therapeutic management of this rare entity. Methods: PubMed
and Embase databases were systematically searched by two independent
investigators (last search February 18, 2021) for studies concerning
TGCs published in the last two decades. Results: Totally, 144 articles,
including 135 case reports and 9 case series, met our inclusion
criteria. 184 patients were included (3:1/female: male) with an age of
42.3 ± 18.7 (mean, SD) years, while 5 cases concerned newborn infants.
Pain was the prevailed clinical manifestation (41.8%) whereas 16.8%
were asymptomatic. MRI and CT were utilized for diagnosis in 58.7% and
54.7% of cases, respectively. The majority of cysts were multilocular,
while ciliated columnar epithelium and smooth muscles of the cyst wall
were the prevailed histological findings. Malignant degeneration of TGCs
was reported on 32.1% of cases while carcinoid tumors were the most
frequent malignancies. Surgical resection was performed at 155 cases,
while laparoscopic and robotic approach at 18 and 2 cases respectively.
A posterior approach was implemented in 80.9%, anterior technique in
9% and combined technique in 6.7% of cases. Postoperative
complications and recurrence of the cystic lesion were reported in
17.4% and 7.6% of cases, respectively. Conclusions: TGCs constitute a
dilemma for the physicians. Surgical resection comprises the ultimate
treatment in order to avoid complications or malignant transformation of
the cyst. Further well-designed studies are needed to assess follow-up
strategies and the optimal therapeutic options for TGCs.
The composition of edible oils modifies β-sitosterol_γ-oryzanol oleogels Part I: Purified triglyceride oils
Authors: Scharfe Maria , Flöter Eckhardt , Prange Daniel
Published: March 2021

The role of solvent composition, in particular, minor oil components on
sterol/sterol ester oleogels, has been studied recently [1].
Reportedly, deterioration products hamper network formation and modify
the gel’s macroscopic properties, probably due to alterations of the
scaffolding elements’ interactions. However, the role of the FA
composition of TAGs has not yet been addressed. In this study, minor oil
components of three vegetable oils with varying degrees of unsaturation
(iodine values) were removed, and the oils were chemically and
physically characterized before and after the treatment. Consequently, β
sitostero/γ-oryzanol oleogels were produced, and the gel-sol (DSC) and
sol-gel (rheology) transitions were monitored. Moreover, large and small
deformation tests were performed, and the results were linked to oil
parameters. In contrast to minor oil components, the FA composition has
little impact on oleogel properties. The decline in gel hardness with IV
is possibly linked to a lower solvent viscosity. However, a considerable
drop in gel-sol transition temperature was observed with increasing IV
indicating fewer elements of scaffolding. That was linked to the rapid
formation of primary oxidation products in purified flaxseed oil during
oleogel preparation, impairing tube formation. Similar to previous
results on deterioration products, these minor components seem to aid
network strength at low concentrations resulting in similar transition
enthalpies and G’. That might be due to shifted network interactions in
the presence of molecular species with functional groups. In the second
part of this study, these modified interactions in the presence of
selected minor components will be discussed.
Effects of structural parameters on water film properties of transpiring wall reactor
Authors: Xu Donghai , Feng Peng , Wang Yang , Yang Wanpeng , Wang Yu , Sun Shaoyan
Published: March 2021

Reactor corrosion and salt deposition problems severely restrict the
industrialization of supercritical water oxidation. Transpiring wall
reactor can effectively weaken these two problems through a protective
water film formed on its internal surface. In this work, the effects of
key structural parameters on water film properties of transpiring wall
reactor were explored by numerical simulation, and established models
were validated by comparing simulation and experimental values. The
results show that transpiration water layer, transpiring wall porosity
and inner diameter hardly affected organic matter degradation.
Increasing transpiration water layer and transpiring wall porosity
reduced reactor center temperatures in the middle and lower zones of the
reactor. Increasing transpiration water layer, transpiring wall porosity
and inner diameter decreased water film temperatures but increased water
film coverage rates. Increasing reactor length affected slightly on the
volume of the upper supercritical oxidation zone but enlarged the
subcritical zone.
Novel allyl-ester-based polymers as flow improvers for waxy crude oil
Authors: Ashmawy Ashraf , Elnaggar El-Sayed , Mohamed Manal , Hamam Mohamed
Published: March 2021

The deposition of paraffin wax from crude oil at low temperatures due to wax deposition, high pour point, high viscosity, and weak flow capability is among the critical and persisting challenges faced by the petroleum industry. In this study, a new para-decyloxy allyl benzoate (I10) was prepared, polymerized into HI10, and copolymerized with dioctadecyl maleate into MHI10 via the freeradical polymerization method employing azobisisobutyronitrile and toluene as the initiator and solvent, respectively. The prepared monomer was characterized by spectroscopic analyses (Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR)) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. Further, the polymers were characterized by FT-IR, and their average molecular weights were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The prepared compounds were taken in different concentrations and then tested as flow improvers of Qarun waxy crude oil using pour point depression and rheological parameters. The results of this test indicated that MHI10 exerted the highest effect on pour point reduction and the rheological parameters (yield value and apparent viscosity). Moreover, an increase in the efficiency of the additives was observed after increasing their concentration from 1000 to 5000 ppm.
Social Adaptability Index and Pregnancy Outcomes in Women With Diabetes During Pregnancy
Authors: Palatnik Anna , Walker Rebekah J. , Thakkar Madhuli Y. , Egede Leonard E.
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE

The social adaptability index (SAI) is a composite indicator capturing an individual’s social adaptability within society and socioeconomic status to predict overall health outcomes. The objective of this analysis was to examine whether the SAI is an independent risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with and without diabetes during pregnancy.

METHODS

Data from the 2011–2017 National Survey of Family Growth were analyzed using a cross-sectional methodology. Women aged 18–44 years with a singleton gestation were included in the analysis. Maternal diabetes was defined as either presence of pregestational diabetes or diagnosis of gestational diabetes. The SAI was developed from the following maternal variables: educational level, employment status, income, marital status, and substance abuse. A higher score indicated lower risk. A series of multivariable logistic regression models were run stratified by maternal diabetes status to assess the association between SAI and pregnancy outcomes, including cesarean delivery, macrosomia (birth weight ≥4,000 g) and preterm birth (<37 weeks). All analyses were weighted and P <0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS

A total of 17,772 women were included in the analysis, with 1,965 (10.7%) having maternal diabetes during pregnancy. The SAI was lower in women with diabetes during pregnancy compared with control subjects (6.7 ± 0.2 vs. 7.2 ± 0.1, P <0.001). After adjusting for maternal race and ethnicity, insurance status, BMI, age, and partner support of the index pregnancy, SAI was associated with preterm birth among women with diabetes during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio 0.83, 95% CI 0.72–0.94). The SAI was not significantly associated with cesarean delivery or macrosomia in women with diabetes during pregnancy and was not associated with these outcomes in women without diabetes during pregnancy.

CONCLUSION

Among women with diabetes during pregnancy, a higher SAI is independently associated with a lower risk of preterm birth. The SAI could be a useful index to identify women at high risk of preterm birth in addition to traditionally defined demographic risk groups among women with diabetes during pregnancy.
Composition of the Archangelsk Governorate officialdom in the first half of the 19th century
Authors: Plekh Olesya A.
Published: March 2021

The article deals with the problems of staffing local institutions of Arkhangelsk Governorate in the first half of the 19th century. Based on the materials of systematic recording of officials (group records of service from the collections of the Russian State Historical Archive), the staff composition was analyzed according to three main parameters: social background, age, and level of education. The identified characteristics made it possible to see specific features in the development of the local bureaucracy and the results of the governmental personnel policy. The obtained statistics reflected the peculiarities of governmental policy in the field of forming the social basis for Arkhangelsk bureaucracy. It was found out that in the first half of the 19th century the composition of Arkhangelsk Governorate officials could not meet the expectations of the government in full since the internal resources of this non-nobility-related territory were quite restricted, and the conditions of service did not attract officials from other governorates. The measures taken (appointing officials from other regions, filling police vacancies with retired military personnel, and introducing service privileges) had a certain effect but were not enough to solve all personnel problems and, primarily, to overcome the shortage of clerical employees, which was most pronounced during the entire period. The analysis of social background of the officials revealed a high proportion of representatives of the nobility, hereditary civil servants, and persons from taxable classes. The indicators of age structure reflect general Russian tendencies: there were two Arkhangelsk Governorate went through two alternations of generations among officials: during the first quarter of the 19th century, personnel was becoming younger, and in the following decades it was aging, which had stopped by 1850. The available information on education indicates a general low level of professional training. Despite the fact that the measures taken by the government, which linked the level of education with promotion in rank, increased the interest of future officials in obtaining certificates from higher and secondary educational institutions, in the middle of the century most officials were still persons with primary or home education.
NKVD bodies of Khabarovsk Krai during the final stage of World War II and the first post-war period (June–December 1945)
Authors: Zhadan Aleksandr V.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the currently little-studied topic which is the influence of the political and socio-economic processes of the final stage of the World War II on the activities of the Khabarovsk Krai NKVD organs. The study was based on the archival documents related to the work of the NKVD organs of the Far East in the second half of 1945. The collections of documents stored in the departmental archive and information center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Khabarovsk Krai constituted the source base of the research. Most of the archival sources used by the author are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The techniques of historical criminological analysis were applied in the process of research. The author considered the peculiarities of the transition of law enforcement agencies of Khabarovsk Krai to work under martial law connected with the events of the Soviet-Japanese war; structural transformations of the first post-war period, including the formation of new territorial bodies in South Sakhalin; activities in combating crime and protecting public order. It is concluded that the geopolitical events in the region and the internal social processes of the period under study demanded that the NKVD of Khabarovsk Krai not only strengthen the traditional activities to combat crime and protect law and order but also organize work in a number of new areas. The study of archival documents showed that the internal affairs bodies paid considerable attention to the organization of civil defense and the protection of population from possible attacks by Japanese aircraft during that period. Assessing the effectiveness of the activities of the territorial bodies of the Khabarovsk Krai NKVD in the period between June and December of 1945, the author concludes that despite a number of difficulties which were largely caused by the problems connected with personnel and logistics, the internal affairs bodies managed to ensure public safety and law and order in the front-line region and to prevent criminal excesses (outbreaks of banditry, group escapes or prisoner riots, etc.) and sabotage at strategically important facilities.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Health-Related Issues Among Women and Children: A Research Review
Authors:   Università della Calabri, Italy, Corradi Laura
Published: March 2021

From their first use in the late 1970s until the mid-1990s, Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) gave rise to serious concerns by feminists internationally. Their questions ranged from asking about health risks to ethical and political problems inherent in these technologies. However, over the last 25 years, interest in women’s health which used to be central to feminist theory and politics, progressively decreased and with it concerns about ART. Today, while the medical literature about health risks in ART is increasing, the topic of women’s health in relation to reproductive technologies remains marginal in feminist discourse, social sciences, and the mainstream media. On the basis of recent medical studies, published in peer reviewed scientific journals, this article aims to begin filling this gap. The author discusses adverse effects of ART for three groups of people from a feminist perspective: egg providers; surrogate mothers; and children who are born through in vitro fertilization (IVF), heterologous embryo transfer (HET), and surrogacy. Among the numerous health problems are ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS), birth defects, tumours in children, chromosomal damage, and cardiac and metabolic diseases. Serious questions arise about the long-term health of women who undergo repeated hormonal stimulations, sell their egg cells, or “rent” their wombs as surrogate mothers—a process entailing the exploitation of economically vulnerable women. It also addresses some of the ethical issues arising, such as the importance of risk disclosure to potential IVF users, egg providers, surrogate mothers and intended parents; children’s right to access all details regarding their genetic origins and their birth mother; and relevant psychosocial problems related to the use of ART. This paper calls for renewed critiques of women’s experiences with reproductive technologies so that they can become, yet again, an important part of the feminist movement.
Pornography, Its Harms, and a New Legal Strategy: Research and Experience in Japan
Authors:   Kokugakuin University, Japan, Morita Seiya , Norma Caroline ,   RMIT University, Australia
Published: March 2021

In this article we describe pornography’s harms in Japan, which are known about from surveys and research, and from the outreach and consulting activities of Japanese feminist-abolitionist groups. Among these are the Anti-Pornography and Prostitution Research Group (APP) and People Against Pornography and Sexual Violence (PAPS). We then propose a renewed classification scheme for pornography’s harms that centrally considers the experiences of victims in Japan. Lastly, we consider various legal approaches to addressing the myriad harms we describe and suggest possibilities for a new legal strategy. The article’s research comes from Japanese-language materials produced by the above-mentioned activist groups, as well as media reports of pornography-related crimes and court cases. Our aim in this article is to isolate each category of pornography’s harms so that individually tailored legal and public policy solutions might be tactically proposed and campaigned for, so that gains against the pornography industry can be made to the point where its operating environment as a whole becomes threatened.

Authors: Pratiwi Siska Gita , Robiyanto Robiyanto , Martono Samuel
Published: March 2021

Investments are made to obtain future benefits. Stocks are one of the most popular investments in the capital market. The advantage that can be obtained from the stock investment is stock returns, where the returns obtained can be positive or negative. This study aims to analyze the influence of fundamental and macroeconomic factors on stock returns of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2019. This study used secondary data and the sample of this research was 37 manufacturing companies obtained through the purposive sampling method with panel regression as the data analysis. The results showed that the fundamental factors that affect stock returns are Price to Book Value (PBV), while the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Price to Earnings Ratio (PER) do not affect manufacturing stock returns. Some macroeconomic factors such as inflation, the BI Rate, and changes in world oil prices proved to not affect the stock returns of manufacturing companies. This research implies that manufacturing companies need to pay attention to Price to Book Value (PBV) in determining stock returns.

Diagnostic markers are important indicators for the assessment of the possible consequences of radiation exposure, which could lead to acute and chronic radiation toxicity. The goal of the study is to determine high-sensitive markers of blood redox status in relation to the dose of radiation.
The mice were exposed to γ-irradiation (Cs137) at a total dose of 3, 5, and 7Gy. After 1, 2, 7, and 14 days of the irradiation, the blood samples were drawn under ether anesthesia from the inferior vena cava and the activity of antioxidant system (enzymatic -superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase) and non-enzymatic total antioxidant activity (TAA) of blood serum was determined.
The results of our investigation support the fact that the non-enzymatic antioxidant TAA plays an important role in the prevention of radiation damage during ionizing radiation exposure, which makes it possible to consider TAA as a promising candidate as the biomarker of radiation dose.

Tutkimus on keskustelunanalyyttinen ja kytkeytyy erityisesti vuorovaikutuksen multimodaalisuutta, kehollisten ja kielellisten resurssien käyttöä ja koordinointia tarkastelevaan tutkimukseen. Se täydentää myös tutkimuksia läsnäolijoihin viittaamisen käytänteistä vuorovaikutuksessa. Artikkelissa osoitetaan, miten läsnäolijoihin viittaavien kielellisten elementtien valinta sekä osanottajien kehollinen toiminta ja tilan käyttö rakentavat toiminnan osallistumiskehikkoa ja roolihahmon tarkastelun näkökulmia. Samalla ne rakentavat teatteriprojektin osanottajien kahdentunutta roolia esiintyjinä ja roolihahmoina sekä teatterityön ammatillista katsetta.
Implisiittinen puhuttelu asiakaspalvelutilanteen direktiiveissä
Authors: Rouhikoski Anu
Published: March 2021

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan direktiivejä, joissa esiintyy niin sanottua implisiittistä puhuttelua eli kuulijaan ei viitata 2. persoonan pronominilla tai verbimuodolla. Aineistona on virkailijan asiakkaalle esittämiä direktiivejä Kelan toimistojen asiakaspalvelutilanteista. Analyysiin on valittu kolme implisiittistä puhuttelurakennetta: 1) nollapersoona, 2) passiivi ja 3) nominilauseke. Rakenteet eivät muodosta yhtenäistä ryhmää, vaan jokaisellaniistä on omat tyypilliset käyttökontekstinsa. Nollapersoonamuotoiset direktiivit ovat referenssiltään hyvin joustavia: niitä voidaan käyttää yleispätevissä ohjeissa, ainoastaan kyseiselle asiakkaalle suunnatuissa direktiiveissä sekä direktiiveissä, jotka voi hoitaa joko kyseinen asiakas tai joku hänen perheenjäsenensä. Passiivimuotoisia direktiivejä käytetään, kun viitataan johonkin yleisesti tunnettuun prosessiin, joka toimii aina samalla tavalla ja josta asiakkaalla yleensä on jo jonkin verran tietoa. Toisinaan passiividirektiiveihin sisältyy myös Kelan näkökulma. Nominilausekkeen muotoisilla direktiiveillä taas ohjataan ongelmattomia, rutiinimaisia toimintoja. Implisiittisesti puhuttelevia direktiivejä ei aineiston perusteella käytetä eksplisiittisen puhuttelun välttämiseen tai kiertämiseen. Sen sijaan niillä voidaan osoittaa suhtautumista esimerkiksi direktiivin odotuksenmukaisuuden tai välttämättömyyden asteeseen.

Аналіз системної пам’яті як окремий метод криміналістики загалом вимагає вирішення деяких проміжних питань, зокрема вибору інструменту для отримання її вмісту та засобу для дослідження створеного знімка. Ця робота має на меті вирішення зазначених питань. Аби аргументовано здійснити вибір того чи іншого засобу, в роботі проведено деяку апробацію програмного забезпечення та аналіз отриманих результатів.

В роботі сформульовано феноменологічну модель для опису властивостей сплавів із пам’яттю форм та пам’яттю в точці зміни температури. Встановлено, що класичні матеріальні діаграми – це конверт певного сімейства матеріальних діаграм, побудований за певнимизаконами зміни швидкості та розриву фронту деформації. Для використання феноменологічної моделі з метою дослідження двофазних матеріалів з різними модулями пружності розв’язано додаткову задачу, яка пов’язана з розбудовою миттєвої термомеханічної поверхні. В роботі проведено числове дослідження, як результат показано типову залежність для швидкості розповсюдження фазового переходу від часу. Графік залежності має три ділянки. На першій ділянці швидкість дорівнює нулю, а на третій – досягає постійного значення. Між ними міститься ділянка зі змінною швидкістю. В результаті обчислення дотичного модуля на кожному кроці інтегрування за часом інтегральна діаграма матеріалу, побудована в роботі, теж має три характерні ділянки.

За аналізом якості обслуговування абонентів у реалізованих проектах мереж 5G в світі встановлено, що заявлені вимоги до мереж п’ятого покоління не досягаються в жодній із реалізованих мереж, а фактична якість обслуговування абонентів перебуває на не досить високому рівні, що свідчить про низьку ефективність наявних методів керування мережами стільникового оператора та розподіленої обробки даних у них. Тому було розроблено метод оптимізації розміщення масштабованих послуг на розподілених обчислювальних ресурсах мережі стільникового оператора. Також було проведено імітаційне моделювання для оцінювання ефективності розробленого у роботі методу, результати якого підтвердили його ефективність.

In this vast division, the researcher has picked out Indian English Literature.
Indian literature is the literature used in Indian Subcontinent. The earliest Indian literary works were transmitted orally. The Sanskrit oral literature begins with the gatherings of sacred hymns called ‘Rig Veda’ in the period between 1500 - 1200 B.C. The classical Sanskrit literature was developed slowly in the earlier centuries of the first millennium. Kannada appeared in 9th century and Telugu in 11th century.

Environmental, Eco - Criticism and Eco - Feminist Perspectives in Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance & Gloria Naylor’s Linden Hills
Authors: Shrivastava Dr. Ku. Richa
Published: March 2021

This paper attempts a reading of Rohinton Mistry’s novel A Fine Balance (1997) and Gloria Naylor’s Linden Hills (1985) envision insights from recent developments in eco-criticism and eco-feminism. Through Gender theory eco-feminism substantiates the silence of women in Linden Hills.

Eco-criticism is a form of literary criticism based on ecological perspectives.  It investigates the relation between human and the natural world in literature, such as the way in which environmental issues, cultural issues concerning the environment and attitudes towards nature are presented and analyzed.  One of the main goals of eco-criticism concerns the environment and attitudes towards nature and ecological aspects.  This form of criticism has gained a lot of attention during recent years (approximately since 2000) due to greater social emphasis on environmental destruction as a result of increased technology.  It is hence a way of analyzing and interpreting literary texts.  Eco critics investigate such things as the underlying ecological values, what, precisely, is meant by the word nature, and whether the examination of “Place” should be a distinctive category, gender or race. By examining the eco critical discourse in A Fine Balance, the paper posits that Mistry’s vision of development in India is predicated on the conditions of sustainability.

The Ecological Feminism is an interdisciplinary movement which interrogates the new ways of thought process concerning natural world, diplomacy, and mysticism. Eco-feminist speculation has exacting and important association between females and natural world. Eco-feminism understands the suppression of women and their mistreatment in phrases of the subjugation and operation of the environment. Naylor discusses gender conditioned with eco-feminism perspectives. She scrutinizes United States as a “Place”, in relation to race of Linden Hills.

The postcolonial feminist theory contends that through novel, A Fine Balance comparing with Linden Hills, Mistry interrogate the difficulties of maintaining natural and human diversity in the contemporary economic and social development in the Indian subcontinent. The aspects of paper are tailoring sustainability, ecology, eco - feminism and environment, urbanization and modernization, creation of ecological imbalance and the use of nature ‘as an end to all means’.
