Authors: Grigoriev Alexander D. , Karpov Aleksey V. , Kharitonov Mikhail Yu.
Published: December 2020

The article considers some elements that reflect the state of historical memory about the Great Patriotic war of 1941–1945 among the students of Chuvashia. To identify them, the authors used the materials of an empirical research conducted among students of higher educational institutions of the Chuvash Republic in March 2020 by the Chuvash State Institute of Humanities with the participation of individual authors of the article. In the course of this study, a total of 324 students from five Cheboksary higher educational institutions were interviewed. The data obtained have not yet been used in scientific publications. From this point of view, they represent an original source of information for analyzing the problems of preserving the historical memory about the Great Patriotic War among out-of-school youth and students. The paper consistently examines the level of students’ interest in the military events of 1941–1945, in the sources of information about the main facts and heroes and identifies opinions about the significance of a set of factors that played a significant role in achieving the victory over fascism. As a result of summarizing the data obtained in the course of an empirical research, different opinions of respondents about the significance of the USSR victory in the Great Patriotic war are presented. The obtained materials show that the majority of students show a considerable interest in the events and facts of the war, correctly characterize the sources, results and historical consequences of the victory over the Hitlerite Germany. The results of the study provide an opportunity for lecturers of higher educational institutions to take into account the data obtained in the process of organizing the effective use of various sources on the history of the war, to apply the materials obtained not only in educational work but in awareness-raising work as well.

Authors: Kazantseva Larisa V. , Shirokov Oleg N.
Published: December 2020

The issue of accelerated USSR modernization at the regional level is understudied in the historical science. The evolvement of the industrial complex of the textile industry in Chuvashia is reinterpreted taking into account archival documents that are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The article deals with the evolvement of the industrial complex of the textile industry in Chuvashia in 1929–1934. The purpose of the article is to provide insight into the problems connected with the evolvement of ChASSR textile industry enterprises within the framework of industrialization. The author analyzes the development of light industry enterprises of national standing in the region and the formation of regular labor force, textile production and the main problems faced by the regional leadership during forced modernization. The documents of the State historical archive of the Chuvash Republic were used as a source base. The period from1929 to 1932 is marked by transition to the planned management of the ChASSR textile industry and implementation of all standards for the delivery of agricultural raw materials. In 1932–1934 the People’s Commissariat of light industry of the ChASSR together with the Nizhny Novgorod region launched linen-scutching plants of national standing, which could become a technical basis with qualified specialists for the modernization of the regional textile industry. The article concludes that accelerated transformations in the textile industry took place without taking into account local characteristics. In the region there were no large enterprises of the textile industry, on the basis of which the leadership of the region could carry out forced modernization with minimal financial costs.

NATIONALIZATION OF BANKS AND INDUSTRY IN AUSTRIA IN 1945–1946
Authors: Kozyakova Nataliya S.
Published: December 2020

The article gives the analysis of post-war nationalization in Austria. Nationalization was carried out in the interests of the big capital. This was applied both to the methods and forms of economic management in the nationalized sector, and to the methods and forms of management that were directly carried out by large monopolists and their protégés. Austria’s monopolies exercised full power in the country and used the public sector to the maximum extent possible to strengthen their financial, political and economic dominance, to increase their own profits by redistributing the national income and violating the labor legislation. The experience of the nationalization in Austria, although it is a small country, has made it possible to draw some conclusions about the significance and the role of nationalization in the workers’ struggle to build a socially just state. In Austria, nationalization was caused by the special historical conditions that developed in the country after the defeat of the fascist Germany. The Austrian oligarchy, which was a Germany’s ally, had no direct way to get the industry located in Austria, which belonged to German monopolies. In this period Austrian financial experts considered nationalization as a lesser evil. It was advantageous for the Austrian oligarchy to shuffle off the burden of the entire financial and economic burden on to the state, i.e., ultimately, to the taxpayers. With the help of nationalization, it hoped to prevent the transfer of enterprises located in Eastern Austria and owned by Germany, as reparations, under the ownership of the USSR. The author comes to the conclusion that the economic basis of Austrian neutrality was nationalization, which was also a powerful weapon of the workers in the conditions of a radical change in the balance of power in the country.
CLOTHING OF A DECEASED IN THE CONTEXT OF FUNERAL AND COMMEMORATIVE CUS-TOMS AND RITUALS OF THE CHUVASH
Authors: Petrov Igor G.
Published: December 2020

Funeral and commemorative ritualism as a set of magical and religious rituals related to the burial of a deceased, is a rich historical and ethnographic source. These rituals are rooted in the thickness of centuries and reflect the most ancient beliefs and ideas. Despite mass Christianization, funeral and commemorative customs and rituals of the Chuvash people preserved many elements of the pre-Christian (pagan) funeral cult. Household items, including clothing and individual items play an important role in the organization of substantive processing of funeral customs and rites. Being included in the ritual action, they brought in additional information about the essence of the performed actions, enhanced their sensory perception and acted as expressive markers and symbols. In this context, magical perceptions and actions with the clothing of a deceased are of particular interest. Almost at every stage of the funeral rites, the Chuvash performed a number of purposeful actions with the clothes of a deceased that were aimed to accompany step-through the deceased from the profane to the sacred space or to the world of ancestors. In the form of rudiments, they still exist at present time.

Published: December 2020

Identification of soil salinity based on traditional methods (measurement in saturation extract) required time, labour and capital, whereas, ground based non-imaging hyperspectral remote sensing estimates the soil salinity and alkalinity parameters within limited resources and can be used for real time monitoring purpose. Laboratory experiment was conducted to study the spectral properties using VNIR spectroscopy in silt loam and silty clay loam soil saturated with different levels of chloride, sulphate and carbonate of sodium salts. Salinity absorption features were more pronounced around 1900 nm, followed by 1400 and 2200 nm. The salt concentration was inversely related to reflectance values in saline soils. Wavelength was shifted from 1900 nm to higher wavelength value and this shifting feature was also correlated with the increase in salt concentration. Relatively high correlation coefficients of ECe, saturated extract Na+ and Cl- with soil reflectance values were found in between 1420 to 2020 nm than other soil properties. Increased use and application of VNIR for salt-affected soil would help establish a detailed spectral library through captured signature in sodium salt saturated soil.

Authors:   Dr. Budhajirao Mulik College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Mandki-Palvan, Chiplun-415 641, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, India, Bowlekar A. P.
Published: December 2020

In present study Kansa watershed in Satara district of Maharashtra was characterized for watershed parameters. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has been utilized for the estimation of morphological parameters. Several morphometric parameters have been computed and analyzed viz. linear aspects such as stream order, stream number, stream length, mean stream length, stream length ratio; areal aspects such as drainage density, stream frequency, drainage texture, elongation ratio, circularity ratio, form factor, constant of channel maintenance; relief aspects such as relief, relief ratio, relative relief, ruggedness number, length of overland flow. Impacts of morphometric parameters on flash flood characteristics have also been investigated. The presence of the maximum number of the first order segments shows that the basin is subjected to erosion and also that some areas of the basin are characterized by variations in lithology and topography. The form factor is 0.21, and the circulatory ratio is 0.42, which suggests an elongated type of catchment. Elongation ratio is 0.52, which indicates that watershed has high relief and steep slope. The estimated catchment characteristics may be useful to stimulate hydrological responses of the catchment.

Authors: Dwiningsih Sri
Published: December 2020

Penentuan harga pokok produksi merupakan informasi penting bagi perusahaan untuk menetapkan harga jual produk. Dalam menentukan harga pokok produksi dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa metode yaitu cara konvensional dan metode activity based costing. Metode konvensional pada penentuan harga pokok produksi dianggap kurang tepat karena tidak melibatkan semua biaya overhead pabrik, sehingga dibutuhkan salah satu metode yang tepat yaitu sistem Activity Based Costing (ABC) yang dapat menentukan harga pokok produksi dengan lebih akurat. Karena sistem ini menelusuri biaya dalam setiap aktivitasnya dan menggunakan cost driver berdasarkan unit. Objek penelitian ini adalah biaya harga pokok produksi yang menjadi fokus dari aktivitas produksi roti pada Industri Roti Cempaka Mulia. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif, yaitu penelitian yang tujuannya untuk mengungkapkan atau mengeksplore atau menjelaskan secara mendalam tentang variabel tertentu dan penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif, sehingga penelitian ini digunakan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam tentang penerapan sistem Activity Based Costing dalam penentuan harga pokok produksi pada Industri Roti Cempaka Mulia di Desa Baran Kecamatan Purwosari Kabupaten Pasuruan. Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah sistem activity based costing dalam menentukan harga pokok produksi bakpia, roti manis dan brownies sudah sesuai karena pembagian biaya sudah jelas berdasarkan pemicu biaya dan sumber daya yang dikonsumsi masing – masing produk. Bagi peneliti lain yang akan melakukan penelitian sejenis dengan menggunakan subjek usaha kecil dan menengah, khususnya yang memproduksi produk lebih dari satu jenis produk. Peneliti selanjutnya diharapkan lebih komprehensip atau menyeluruh dalam mengkalkulasi biaya baik biaya produksi maupun biaya non produksi dan memperpanjang periode waktu penelitian, sehingga diperoleh hasil penelitian yang lebih akurat.

Methodology: The current study was completed in 12 months period from July 2018 to July 2019 in three different hospitals of Lahore and Faisalabad. After getting approval from the Institutional Review Board, a sample of N= 400 participants were collected. Only diagnosed patients of cancer with stage 1 and 2 were taken. In study t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to investigate the findings.
Results: Findings indicate a significant difference between cancer and non-cancer patients on the variables of religiosity, optimism, depression, and death anxiety. Significant gender differences were found on the variables of religiosity, depression and death anxiety and the insignificant difference was found on the construct of optimism among cancer patients. Moreover, cancer patients of rural and urban areas were found significantly different on the variables of religiosity, depression and death anxiety and the insignificant difference was found on optimism scale. Besides, there were found significant differences in death anxiety scale among cancer patients with a different type of cancer.
Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a greater role of religiosity and optimism in controlling the level of depression and fear of death among cancer patients. Also, there is a meaningful role of gender, residential area, and types of cancer.

Detection Of Candida Albicans Responsible For Vulvovaginitis In Women
Authors: Taher Sherihan K.
Published: December 2020

Background: The vaginal microbial ecosystem stability preclude many other organisms but sometimes the vaginal micro biota is disturbed and this cause change in the normal

balance causing symptoms of vulvuvaginitis like abnormal or increased vaginal discharge, redness and itching.

Objective: To prove C. albicans presence in their vagina clinically and laboratory by culture of vaginal swab on two media.

Type of the study: This study is a case control study

Methods: This study is a case control study in which 100 clinically patient women admitted to maternity hospital in kalar city and khanaqin hospital during the period from 1st August– 30th of October 2016 who were examined to prove C. albicans presence in their vagina clinically and laboratory by culture of vaginal swab on two media, the first media was used for primary isolation which was Sabouraud´s dextrose agar media and the second was to differentiate Candida spp. according to their color .

Results: Results of this study presented that the highest invasion of the vagina of Candida spp was accounted for C. albicans (39.6%)from the (53) positive cultures , while other species were as follows: C. glabrata (26.4%), C. tropicalis (20.8%) ,C. krusi(13.2 %).  

Conclusions: this study presented that the highest invasion of the vagina of Candida spp was accounted for C. albicans

Conclusion : From this work, it has been observed that applied voltage ,distance between plasma needle and treatment model as well as  time  treatment effect on inactivation bacteria and sterilization ,also it effect on decreasing bacterial adhesion on epithelial cells, where  numbers  adhesion bacterial with uroepithelial cells  decrease after treatment with plasma needle .
Prevalence And Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns Of Bacteria Isolated From Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) In Children At Children Hospital In Baghdad
Authors: Hussein Nadheema Hammood
Published: December 2020

Background: First six to twelve months after initial urinary tract infection, most infections are caused by Escherichiacoli, although in the first year of life Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter spp andEnterococcus spp, are more frequent than later in life, and there is a higher risk of urosepsis compared with adulthood

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of bacterial isolates from Urinary Tract Infections of children at a children hospital in Baghdad and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.

Type of the study: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: During six months of study (1 June to 31 December, 2016), 117urine specimens were collected from a children hospital in Baghdad.

Results: Out 38 isolates of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were obtained from urine specimens in a percentage of 5(13.2%) and 33(86.8%),respectively. The lowest incidence was among the 11-15 years old age group (11.9%) whereas the highest incidence was among the 1-5 years old age group (43.6%)(P≤0.05).Also out of 38positive cultures, the incidence was higher in females 31(81.6%)than that of males 7(18.4%).

Out of 38 positive cultures, the isolation rate was 5(13.2%) for Gram positive isolates and 33(86.8%)for Gram negative isolates. The most frequently isolated bacteria was Escherichia coli19(50%)(P-value ≤ 0.05), while the only isolated Gram positive was Staphylococcus aureus5(42.86%) isolates.The most effective antibiotics for Staphylococcus aureus isolates were Vancomycin and Amikacinfor (100%) and for Gram negative isolates wasimipenem (100%). Ampicillin showed the highest resistance rate for both Gram positive and Gram negative isolates(100%) and Pesudomonas aeruginsa isolates showed the highest resistant rates to most antibiotics under study.

Conclusions: The most frequently isolated bacteria was E. coli from all urine cultures and the most effective antibiotics for Staphylococcus aureus isolates were Vancomycin and Amikacinfor
Drug Resistant Epilepsy Among Patients Attended The Neurosciences Hospital
Authors: Zaer Nael Husain
Published: December 2020

Background: Drug resistant epilepsy is defined as failure of adequate trials of two tolerated, appropriately chosen and used antiepileptic drug schedules to achieve sustained seizure freedom. Up to 30% of patients referred to clinics with a diagnosis of pharmaco-resistant epilepsy may have been misdiagnosed, and many can be helped by optimizing their treatment.Pseudoresistance, in which seizures persist because the underlying disorder has not been adequately or appropriately treated, must be ruled out or corrected before drug treatment can be considered to have failed.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the causes of drug failure in patients with epilepsy and to differentiate between drug resistant epilepsy and pseudoresistant epilepsy.

Type of the study: This is a retrospective study.

Method: It is conducted in Baghdad governorate at the epilepsy clinic in the neurosciences hospital during the period from the 1st of February through July 2013. Two hundred patients with refractory epilepsy were involved. These patients attended the epilepsy clinic during 2011 and 2012. The data was collected from the files of the patients including age, gender, weight, history of presenting illness, type of seizure, drugs used, duration of disease, EEG and imaging findings, compliance and follow up.

Results: Drug resistance epilepsy constituted a prevalence of 24% (128) as the total number of patients with epilepsy attending the hospital during the same period was 527.The mean age of patients with refractory epilepsy was 25 years. Male were 56.5% (113/200) and urban residents were 70.5% (141/200). The study revealed that 64% (128/200) of refractory epilepsy was attributed to drug resistance; while the remaining proportion was pseudoresistance 36% (72/200). The main cause of pseudoresistance was poor compliance 36.1% (26/72).The most common type of seizure in the sampled patients was generalized tonic clonic seizures in 51.5% (103/200).Compliance was found to be statistically associated with abnormal EEG finding, past medical history (hypertension, cardiac diseases, encephalitis, diabetes mellitus and any significant history) and quality of follow up. The follow-up was found to be statistically associated with the family history, past medical history( encephalitis and hypertension) and compliance of patient.

Conclusion:A considerable number of patientsdiagnosed as cases of drug resistant epilepsy had another explanation causing drug failure.The study recommends the application of consensus definition for drug resistant epilepsy and periodic evaluation of patients with drug resistant epilepsy to exclude pseudoresistance.
Magnetic Resonance Venography Findings In A Group Of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Al-Baghdady Ali Qasim
Published: December 2020

Background: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic heterogeneous demyelinating axonal and inflammatory disease involving the Central Nervous System [CNS] white matter with a possibility of gray matter involvement in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms. Cerebral venous insufficiency theory was raised as a possible etiology for the disease at 2008 by Zamboni an Italian cardiothoracic surgeon. This theory was defeated by Multiple Sclerosis[ MS] researchers and scientists who thought that the disease is an autoimmune rather than vascular.

Objective: To assess the findings of Magnetic Resonance Venography [MRV] in a group of patients with MS and to compare these results with a healthy control group Magnetic Resonance Venography[ MRV] findings.

Type of the study: A case – control cross sectional study.

Methods: it was conducted at Neurosciences Hospital MS clinic from Oct.2014 to Dec. 2015, recruiting sequentially 50 patients who attend the MS clinic; 19 male and 31 females, their age was ranged from 16 to 53 year old. Diagnosis of MS was based on fulfillment of McDonald 2010 criteria for MS diagnosis, detailed history , examination and Expanded Disability Status Scale( EDSS)[see Appendix1] were recorded according to structured questionnaire forum. Each patient was send for Magnetic Resonance Venography[ MRV] using 3 Tessla Phillips model Achieva, 2012. The results of MRV were interpreted by specialist radiologist. Statistical analyses were done using SPSS version 21 with P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Fifty patients with Multiple Sclerosis were involved in the study female 31, male 19, their ages were ranged between 21 and 60 year old. Magnetic Resonance Venography [MRV] findings suggest of venous thrombosis were seen in [4 / 50] 8% of patients and [46 /50] 92% of the patients in this study have no findings of venous thrombosis. The comparison with the control group showed no significant statistical difference.

Conclusion: Magnetic Resonance Venography[MRV] finding is not statistically different between healthy people and Multiple Sclerosis patient
