Discursive Aesthetic Impact Strategies in Medieval Literary Texts
Authors: Vyshenskaya Yuliya P.
Published: March 2021

The paper deals with the matter investigating the nature of the aesthetic impact of the belles-lettres style being generated within the scope of great transfer from high Middle Ages to the start of Renaissance. In course of the analysis, some traditional ideas and terms adopted in the historical stylistics are used. The mentioned ideas turned up into being during the period of its discrimination from other disciplines of linguistic historical cycle. Acquired linguistic independence charged the ideas with the function of marking the borders between the historical stylistics and other disciplines mentioned. One of the markers of the type is the voluminous historism, i.e., co-relationship between stylistic phenomena and the context of their existing. Flexible borders of the latter regulated by targets and tasks of the proper research can be extended up to the certain type of culture. Importance of a special character gained by the medieval culture during the period of the international Gothic dominating when considered as a type of a context necessary for analysing the belles-lettres style generating corresponds to the importance of combining philological and non-philological kinds of practice and induced by the purpose to enrich the analysis as well as to increase the research output verification. It is suggested that the analysis of the elements of another semiotic nature presented by types and illustrations highly important for discursive strategies to influence the recipient should be thought of as an instance of a combination of the kind. One of the mighty instruments of the mentioned sort of the esthetic impact is the medieval illuminated book of the epoch of the international Gothic (XIV - XV centuries) dominating within the borders of European cultural space. Soft power, immanent to it, id est, some ability to modify emotional state of consciousness and behaviour of a recipient is characterised by semiotic attractionness and cognitive power, and embodies one of the type of strategies of the kind.
Biz birgemiz, or Revisiting the Diversification of Russian Language in Kazakhstan
Authors: Suleimenova Eleonora D. , Akanova Dana Kh. , Aimagambetova Malika M.
Published: March 2021

The criteria for pluricentric languages, generalized by the Working Group on NonDominant Varieties of Pluricentric Languages (WGNDV), as well as our earlier condition of tightness, opacity, incomprehensibility of Kazakh Russian were used to discuss the possibility of its gradual formation. Two main conclusions were made: a) the Russian language of the post-Soviet space currently meets the criteria for pluricentric languages; b) the Russian language in Kazakhstan is going through rapid and noticeable diversification processes. The arguments of Kazakhstani linguists who assert (B.Kh. Khasanov, E.A. Zhuravleva, D.D. Shaibakova, etc.) or deny (Z.K. Sabitova, A.K. Kazkenova, etc.) the qualifications of the Russian language as variant in Kazakhstan - a country of long-term and massive Kazakh-Russian bilingualism. Generations of Russian speakers (monolinguals - ethnic Russians, Koreans, Ukrainians and others and bilinguals - Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Uighurs and others) with a dominant Russian or a dominant ethnic language - are involved in the processes of Soviet Russification and modern Kazakhization with different effects. Nowadays the diversification of the Russian language in Kazakhstan is taking place against the background of a fundamental change in the status and functional state of the Kazakh and Russian languages; reducing the number of native Russian speakers; fundamental changes in Kazakh-Russian bilingualism, reflected in the crisis of the linguistic identity of a part of Kazakhstanis, in a linguistic shift towards the Russian language (Koreans, part of Kazakhs, Ukrainians, small ethnic groups, etc.) and a turn of the linguistic shift of Kazakhs; strengthening the position of the Kazakh language in business, culture, education, mass media, interethnic communication; the changed vector of influence of languages (Kazakh Russian) and the openness of the Russian language for oral and written borrowings, especially in media texts; finally, new communication needs of Kazakhstanis. The long-term linguistic and cultural borderland, which forms the internalized conceptual-mental picture of the world inherent in Kazakhstanis, has become a fundamental factor stimulating the diversification processes of the Russian language in Kazakhstan.
The "Meek" and "Proud" Types of Female Images in the Works of F.M. Dostoevsky: A Study of the Question of Virtue
Authors: Kosorukova Alexandra A. , Zubkova Ulyana V.
Published: March 2021

The article analyzes the types of "meek" and "proud" female images in the works of F.M. Dostoevsky in connection with the typologies of the images of the writer among the literary critics N.A. Dobrolyubov, V.F. Pereverzev and A.A. Gizetti. The article refers to the classical authors of the early critical understanding of Dostoevsky's works, who divided female images into two opposite types of the "meek" and "proud". At the same time, the article emphasizes the idea that in Dostoevsky's polyphonic world every literary hero has a multidimensional consciousness, which is why the direct dichotomous division into the "proud" and "meek" can only be a rough generalization. The first part of the article examines the typologies of N.A. Dobrolyubov, as well as one of V.F. Pereverzev, who creates the most ambitious and significant typology, considering female images. He sensitively notices the ambiguity and tragedy of Dostoevsky's heroines and introduces the term "the doppelgngerwoman" into the typology of female images, on the basis of which each heroine somehow contains a certain internal conflict, the solution of which in the course of a novel allows her character to develop towards one of the indicated subtypes. The second part of the article analyzes the typology of A.A. Gizetti, who in his research focuses on such type of Dostoevsky's female images as the "proud", highlighting a new, "mysterious" subtype of the Dostoevsky's proud heroine. In the performed comparison of "meek" and "proud" types of female images it is considered to distinguish positive and negative ethical meanings of them. The article formulates conclusions about the various subtypes of "meek" and "proud" characters in the writer's artistic world, and outlines the grounds for further system of understanding of meekness and pride on a scale of correlation with vice and virtue.
Methodological aspects of evaluating a company’s investment attractiveness
Authors: Nemtseva Yulia V. , Vorozhbickaya Yulia V.
Published: March 2021

The actual problems of choosing tools for risk assessment and predicted profitability (attractiveness) of an investment object are studied. There is a close relationship between the financial multipliers DIV/FCF, P/E Shiller, EV/EBITDA and risk indicators, which gives the investor the opportunity to make additional operational forecasts when analyzing an investment project. A number of key financial multipliers (P/S, EV/S, P/OCF, P/FCF) have been identified, and it is not entirely correct to use them as criteria for making an investment decision. The expediency of using the EV/EBITDA multiplier for making forecasts about the volatility of the return on shares of a certain company is justified, since this is the only indicator among the financial multipliers selected for analysis that has a relationship with the beta coefficient. Recommendations for forming a sample of necessary indicators (multipliers) when making investment decisions by various stakeholders are proposed.

Published: March 2021

The article analyzes the topical issues of international legal regulation of genetic research; it provides a comparative analysis of two groups of international acts regulating relations related to genetic research and application of their results on creation, use and circulation of genetically modified organisms (except humans), on the study of human genome and application of their results. The article deals with the issues of objects and methods of genetic research regulation, balance of interests as the basis for legal regulation of public relations in the field of genomic research. It also considers approaches to ensuring a balance of private, group and common (public) interests. Criticism of certain provisions of the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine is given, the question of the inadmissibility of legal opposition between the protection of human rights and the interests of science and society as a whole is raised. The authors put forward proposals on the implementation of a number of international norms in Russian legislation and its further improvement, as well as on the use of blockchain technology in genetic research.
Ecosystem approach in legal regulation of biosafety
Authors: Krasnova Irina O.
Published: March 2021

In Russia, the aim to attain biosafety is declared in the strategic political documents without being adequately addressed in law relating to interaction between human communities and natural systems. To involve the ecological approaches into environmental legislation it seems reasonable to include into the general concept of beneficial quality of the environment the biological health of nature, when the impact of pathogenic, disease generating factors emanated by nature shall be minimized. The legal regulation should be based on the ecosystem and nature-based approach assuming that social development should follow and be in harmony with laws of nature. This approach will allow to upkeep the biological balance and biological health of nature and ensure biological safety of nature for human communities.
Animals as objects of civil rights: current issues
Authors: Sinelnikova Valentina N. , Khatuntsev Oleg A.
Published: March 2021

The relevance of the research is based on the heated discussion that has unfolded in recent years in connection with changes of the current legislation on legal regime of animals as objects of civil rights as well as awkward suggestions aimed at essentially reshaping the civilistic concept of animals and establishing their special legal status by recognizing them, albeit with some restrictions, as subjects of legal rights. The purpose is to analyze the genesis of animals legislation, including but not limited to international legislation, and to reveal the social significance of norms governing the conditions and procedure for acquisition of animals and the limits and principles of their treatment. The article also aims at voicing the authors position on participation in the civil circulation of animals. Research methods applied in the work are as follows: formal-legal, dialectical unity, system analysis, interpretation, modeling, and forecasting. The results of the study (conclusions) are realized in proposing to supplement Art. 128 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation with a new term property as basic in relation to terms things, other property, and property rights. It is also recommended to expand the range of objects of civil rights by identifying animals as an independent object, clarify the revision of Art. 137 of the Civil Code, presenting in it the definition of an animal as an object of civil rights and reflecting the main criterion for classifying animals (turnover). In addition, a judgment was made on changes in Russian legislation introduced in 2020, including the Law On the Animal World, allowing amateur and sports hunting of animals in semi-free conditions and artificially created habitat. This law clearly contradicts international agreements that allow hunting (capture) of animals only for the maintenance of human livelihood.
Omnilingual Aspirations: The Case of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Authors: Kellman Steven G.
Published: March 2021

Adopted by the United Nations in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the most widely translated document. However, versions in 419 languages are not conceived as translations but equivalences, alternate embodiments of identical tenets. The Bible has been rendered into numerous languages, but the Hebrew and Greek originals possess authority that English, Bengali, and Xhosa derivatives do not. The Bible is translated, but the UDHR is, through the theology of international governance, transubstantiated into multiple tongues. No version has priority; each is equally valid, transparent, and interchangeable. The utopian premise is not only that all humans possess inalienable rights but also that all languages express the same principles. The document’s title, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, might seem a solecism, a misplaced modifier. Surely, it is human rights that are universal, not the declaration. However, the UN insists that all versions (at least in the original official languages) are equally binding. It rejects Whorfian notions that particular languages enable particular thoughts and embraces languages as neutral tools whose specific manifestation is irrelevant. Arguments against imprisoning writers in Burma could appeal equally to the authority of either the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme or Всеобщую декларацию прав человека or la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos or 世界人权宣言. Rather than the Babelian myth of an Ur-Sprache before hubris scattered us into mutual unintelligibility, the UDHR endorses a Chomskyan belief that all languages can express the same thoughts. Yet differences among versions of Article 1 (“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”) are not trivial; dignity is incommensurable with Würde, αξιοπρέπεια, dignidade, waardigheid, or достоинства. The UDHR is a translingual text shaped by the languages of framers and translators.

Linguistic creativity and discourse profiles of English language children’s novels
Authors: Kiose Maria I.
Published: March 2021

Contemporary discourse studies face the necessity to develop the methods of contrastive sub-discourse analysis which apply numeric and comparable data to diversify and describe sub-discourse types. The aim of the research is to propose a method of discourse profiling serving the purpose, and to further test the method in the contrastive study of linguistic creativity in different types of English language childrens novels. The category of linguistic creativity being the leading form of language poesis receives parametric description on all language representation levels (in written form) and provides the discourse values for contrastive analysis. These values are explored in the fragments of non-autobiographic and autobiographic adventure novel sub-discourse types authored by J.C. George, F. Gibson, J.D. Ullman, and G. Durrell (a total amount of 120.000 signs) annotated manually for 52 linguistic creativity parameters on phonological, morphological, word-formation, lexical, syntactic, and graphic levels. The working hypothesis is that the linguistic creativity parametric activity distributions represent the sub-discourse profiles and may serve to contrast sub-discourse types by means of their vectors contingency values. The analysis in individual parameter activity and in parameter groups activity demonstrated significant variance in sub-discourse construal, with autobiographic sub-discourse of G. Durrell manifesting several higher activity values in word-formation (occasional compounding), lexical use (the use of professional language, lexical tropes, allusive names, higher register style) and syntactic use (the use of parallel structures and syntactic intensifiers). In terms of morphological activity, the parameter values tend to be lower (morphological category shifts), the same stands true of some syntactic (the use of elliptical structures) and lexical parameters (the use of lower register types and proper names). The sub-discourse profiles demonstrate several common features, evidently typical of the discourse type itself, and the features differentiating non-autobiographic and autobiographic discourse subtypes. Vector correlation analysis revealed lower correlation values for autobiographic sub-discourse, which proves its specificity and testifies to the discourse profiling method applicability.

Ablation vs Medication as Initial Therapy for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Kewcharoen Jakrin , Prasitlumku Narut , Chokesuwattanaskul Ronpichai , Yi Ruiyang , Jongnarangsin Krit , Bunch Thomas , Ranjan Ravi , Navaravong Leenhapong
Published: March 2021

Background: Recent randomized controlled trials (RCT) suggest that
ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) as an initial therapy
for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) to prevent arrhythmia
recurrences. We performed an updated meta-analysis of RCTs, to include
recent data from cryoballoon-based ablation, and to compare
arrhythmia-free survival and adverse events between ablation and AAMs.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to December 2020.
We included RCT comparing patients with pAF undergoing ablation or
receiving AADs as an initial therapy. We combined data using the
random-effects model to calculate hazards ratio (HR) for arrhythmia-free
survival and odds ratio (OR) for adverse events. Results: Five studies
from 2005-2020 involving 985 patients were included (495 patients and
490 patients underwent ablation and medication as initial therapy,
respectively). Patients who underwent ablation had higher freedom from
atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) during the 12-24 months follow-up period
(pooled HR=0.48, 95% CI:0.40-0.59, p<0.001) (Figure 2). In a
subgroup analysis of ablation method used, both cryoablation group
(pooled HR=0.49, 95% CI:0.38-0.64, p<0.001) (Figure 2A) and
radiofrequency ablation group (pooled HR=0.47, 95%CI:0.35-0.64,
p<0.001) (Figure 2B) showed reduction in AT recurrence
compared to AAD group. There were no differences in adverse events
including cerebrovascular accident, pericardial effusion or tamponade,
pulmonary vein stenosis, acute coronary syndrome, deep vein thrombosis
and pulmonary embolism, and bradycardia requiring a pacemaker.
Conclusion: Catheter ablation (both cryoablation and radiofrequency
ablation) is superior to AAD as an initial therapy for pAF in efficacy
for reducing AT recurrences without a compromise in adverse events.

Published: March 2021

Purpose of the study: evaluation of the anthropometric parameters of newborns with realized perinatal transmission of HIV.

Materials and methods: The article presents the analysis of the main anthropometric parameters (length, weight, head and chest circumference) of 147 infants born to HIV-infected mothers who were divided into 2 groups of observation (with realized and unrealized transmission of HIV).

Results: These results demonstrate that a reduction in comparison with the normative parameters of anthropometric indicators such as body weight, head circumference and chest circumference at birth, is a distinctive feature, substantiating intrauterine infection with HIV. Indicators body length did not significantly deviate from the norm in both groups observation that, apparently, was associated with a short-term impact of HIV on the child body during pregnancy.
International practice in vaccination of pregnant women against pertussis (a review)
Authors: Kharit S. M. , Konstantinova Yu. E.
Published: March 2021

Whooping cough is still an urgent health problem in Russia, despite the vaccination that has been carried out for many decades. The group at high risk of severe whooping cough and death from it is children under 1 year old who have not received routine vaccination or are not vaccinated by age (the first months of life). The world health organization recognizes vaccination of pregnant women as the most effective method of preventing whooping cough in children before they receive three routine vaccinations. World experience in immunization programs for pregnant women against pertussis shows that up to 91% of children under 3 months of life are protected from pertussis as a result of transplacental transmission of antibodies formed in the mother after her vaccination (which corresponds to the timing of vaccination of children against pertussis in Russia: the first vaccination at the age of 3 months). The maximum preventive effect for a child was observed when a pregnant woman was immunized at 28–32 weeks of gestation. The safety of vaccination for both mother and child is shown. No serious adverse events related to vaccination have been reported. Coverage of pregnant women with vaccination in different countries reaches 51-70%. In order to increase adherence to vaccination of pregnant women, medical personnel should be regularly trained in the basics of vaccination, as well as conduct active health education among the population.

Authors: Fazul’zyanova A. I. , Husainova A. K. , Tkacheva S. V. , Yakupova F. M.
Published: March 2021

Objective: to study the values of fibrosis indices and transient elastometry in patients with chronic HCV infection who received antiviral therapy.

Materials and methods: The study included 64 patients with chronic HCV infection who received antiviral therapy with direct-acting antiviral drugs or a combination of peginterferon and ribavirin.

The fibrosis indices AAR, APRI and FIB-4 were calculated before the start of therapy and 6 months after its completion. Values of AAR>1, APRI≥1,5, and FIB-4≥1,45 were considered indicators of severe fibrosis. We studied the dynamics of fibrosis indices and elastometry values depending on the treatment regimen, their correlation and the prognostic significance of fibrosis indices in relation to elastometry.

Results. Among patients treated with direct-acting antiviral drugs, a sustained virologic response was achieved in 100%, and peginterferon-containing regimen – in 85%. Elastometry and APRI and FIB-4 indices decreased in both groups. In patients without liver cirrhosis, the average elastometry after treatment decreased from 9,5±1,7 kPa to 6,7 ± 1.4 kPa (p = 0,0006). In patients with liver cirrhosis, the median of elastometry decreased from 20 to 11,7 kPa (p = 0,0006), the median of APRI decreased from 2,09 to 0,61 (p = 0,005), FIB-4 from 3,95 up to 2,22 (p = 0,022). The prognostic significance of FIB-4 in relation to elastometry before treatment was 81%, after – 82%.

Conclusion. Successful etiotropic therapy leads to an improvement in values of liver fibrosis indices and transient elastometry in patients with HCV infection, including liver cirrhosis, regardless of the treatment regimen. The FIB-4 index showed the highest sensitivity and prognostic significance in determining severe fibrosis.

In conditions of increasing antibiotic resistance and widespread antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by Clostridium difficile, it is necessary to choose a rational drug for the empirical treatment of escherichioses, which has a wide range of antibacterial activity and does not lead to the development of serious side effects and disruption of the gut microbiota.

The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the use of the drug “Nifuroxazid-ECO” in the integrated therapy of escherichioses in children.

Patients and methods: 50 patients aged 1 month to 18 years were selected for work by random sampling, hospitalized in the intestinal department of the Pediatric Research and Clinical Center for Infectious Diseases of Russia with non-severe clinical forms of escherichioses. All patients underwent routine clinical, biochemical, instrumental examination. DNA detection of the pathogen was carried out by molecular methods in fecal samples using a set of reagents to detect and differentiate the DNA of diaregenic E. coli in environmental objects and clinical material by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with hybridization-fluorescent detection. Patients received the drug “Nifuroxazid-ECO”at age dosage, every 6–8 hours for 5–7 days.

Results: Against the background of the therapy, a significant majority of patients showed clinical improvement. The average duration of hospitalization was 4.8 days, the duration of preservation of diarrhoeal syndrome was 3.4 days. The drug showed good tolerability. There were no cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, re-hospitalization at an early date after treatment, serious adverse reactions.

Conclusion: Studies have shown that the drug “Nifuroxazid- ECO” is a safe and effective modern drug which can be successfully used in the therapy of non-severe escherichioses in children.
Central invariants and enveloping algebras of braided Hom-Lie algebras
Authors: Wang Shengxiang , Zhang Xiaohui , Guo Shuangjian
Published: March 2021

Let (H,?) be a monoidal Hom-Hopf algebra and HH HYD the Hom-Yetter-Drinfeld
category over (H,?). Then in this paper, we first introduce the definition
of braided Hom-Lie algebras and show that each monoidal Hom-algebra in HH
HYD gives rise to a braided Hom-Lie algebra. Second, we prove that if (A,?)
is a sum of two H-commutative monoidal Hom-subalgebras, then the commutator
Hom-ideal [A,A] of A is nilpotent. Also, we study the central invariant of
braided Hom-Lie algebras as a generalization of generalized Lie algebras.
Finally, we obtain a construction of the enveloping algebras of braided
Hom-Lie algebras and show that the enveloping algebras are H-cocommutative
Hom-Hopf algebras.

Miranda is the dear daughter of   king Prospero.  She is the only daughter of the king.   She understands the  human  values  though  she  had  to  live  with  her  father  in  the  secluded  island.  When  she  was  watching  the  sinking  crews  of  the  ship  in  the   tempestuous  waves  of  ocean,  her  heart  begins  to  wavering  if  they  will  die  or  not.  She  cannot  see  the  passengers  hue  and  cry.  Being  a  loyal  daughter,  she  begs  her  father  to  save  the  passengers  with  his  supernatural  powers. Prospero’s  deep  love  for  Miranda  is  perhaps  striking,  so  he  says  that  the  passengers  will  not  be  harmed  but  be  realized  what  the  grave  situation  is.  The  ’rich  gift’  of  Prospero  later  falls  in  love  with  Ferdinand  at  the  first  sight  whom  Ariel  isolated  from  the  other  members  of  the  crews  of  the  ship  and  brought  to  Prospero’s  cell.  Here,  Miranda’s  romantic  showers  begin  to  fall  upon  Ferdinand.  She  shows  herself  to  be  a  passionate  lover  as  does  Ferdinand  too.  The  intensity  of her  love  begins  to  increase.  The  impulses  that  have  been  palpitating  in  her  heart  deeply  and  passionately  taking  about  the  prince  Ferdinand  are  nothing  but  ‘’Eve  of  an  enchanted  Paradise’’.
A Literary Inquiry into Disability, Trauma and Narrative Strategies in Lisa Genova’s Novels
Authors: Pallavi Mrs. Koyyana , Somalatha Prof. Y.
Published: March 2021

The reaisltic illustration of central characters suffering from rare and severe neurological sicknesses in Lisa Genova’s novels provide an ideal prospect to study trauma in pathography novels, a subset of science fiction. However, despite its scope, these genres of novels have received little consideration in American literary trauma studies. This paper will present a new analysis of trauma in relationship to the ‘neuro’genre, followed by an analysis of narrative and literary devices employed by the author to illustrate traumatic episodes in her novels. Through this case study and critical reflection of how the author has engaged trauma in the novels supports strengthening literary trauma theory within trauma literature and the genre also. The writing of traumatic experiences of the victims, transformed identity, stigmas, fears and phobias and providing face to the sufferer doomed fate, offers an opportunity for a neuroscientist turned novelist like Lisa Genova to advocate about the neurological sicknesses and its suffering with enriched empathetic experience to the non-scientific societies. It also provides a balanced realistic narrative platform for the reader to reflect on their own uncertainties, brought on by the representation of such fictional characterization. This literary research analysis will provide scope to science fiction authors, particularly those aiming to engage with medicine and literature, for a more accurate depiction of trauma in their work. It will further broaden the scope of research in phenomenology, narrative and genre theories and criticism in literary studies.
Spaces, Semantics, and ‘Aesthetic Faculty’: Perspectives on Their Operative Plane of Concurrence, Constitution and Becoming
Authors: M. Dhanesh
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to look at one of the fundamental factors of human beings—the appreciation of things. Calling it ‘the aesthetic faculty’ this paper tries to see how it is inevitable to the way human beings as a species function. This paper aims to propose this idea of an ‘aesthetic faculty’ as a potential basis for our community life in its diverse operations in terms of cultural spaces and their semantics. Viewing the socio-systemic life from the point of view from the aesthetic faculty reveals how appreciation and evaluation are inevitable to human life and how an ideological ground cannot actually affect life without addressing this basic human faculty. This paper tries to take the term ‘aesthetic’ vis-a-vis ‘appreciation’ to a different semantic world altogether so that it is no longer a matter of artistic engagements alone, but something more fundamental and formative than that.

Keraguan tentang dakwah sebagai ilmu tidak perlu diragukan lagi, sejak diakuinya ilmu agama sebagai salah satu rumpun keilmuan. Tetapi, membangun teori sebagai upaya pengembangan keilmuan perlu dilakukan. Keilmuan dakwah dibangun berdasarkan kerangka fikir yang bersumber dari pengetahuan tentang realitas dakwah, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Realiatas dakwah yang dikaji secara ilmiah akan memperdalam bahkan menghasilkan penemuan baru sebagai pengembangannya. Misalnya, pengetahuan tentang interaksi antar unsure-unsur dakwah dalam aktivitas dakwah melahirkan berbagai kajian ilmu secara ilmiah, seperti keilmuan Komunikasi Penyiaran Islam (KPI), Pengembangan Masyarakat Islam (PMI), Manajemen Dakwah (MD). Bahkan, dengan berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi dimungkinkan kajian keilmuan tentang teknologi informasi sebagai media yang wajib dikuasai oleh setiap pelaku dakwah (da’i).

This research trying to see diffable’s imagery in the media –including quality of discrimination. Because of some media are less friendly to the diffable and also perpetuate discrimination against this group. Whereas the media as a construct of social reality viewed as a quite effective way to correcting the perceptions about diffable. The objects of this research are articles found in Tempo.co and Kebumen Ekspres. The method used in this research is media text analysis of Sara Mills discourse analysis. The results showed that diffable imagery in Tempo.co is no longer viewed as an object of inspiration or porn inspiration, object of charity, object of verbal abuse but as a person in general. In the other hand, Kebumen Ekspres describes diffable as object of inspiration, objects of charity, objects of verbal abuse and lead the reader to the ideology of normality. Kebumen Ekspres considers that diffable achievement is a thing that quite prestige for the diffable so it is displayed excessively.

Development da'wah is a religious activity that encourages improvement and changes in the social system of the community so that the community is able to take the initiative and take initiative on the existing environmental potential, which in turn can improve the welfare of life. In achieving this welfare, da'wah can use two development models, namely, value oriented development and people centered development.Da'wah institutions apply the two models above by establishing partners with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and government agencies as needed. Then, the development programs must be implemented in an integral manner, and must involve the participation of rural communities and jama'ah because the essence of this development da'wah is the community (jama'ah) as actors to empower themselves.

Discussions related to women are very important from various perspectives. UAS lecture on YouTube about the number of women who provided more than 100 lectures. The UAS study was sharp, interesting, the comments were smart, straightforward, and easy to digest, making the UAS lecture topic about women much favored by the public. This study wants to answer how women's views in the UAS perspective are based on the concept of language representation and meaning. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a subjective approach. The object of this study focuses on the opinion about women conveyed by UAS on YouTube. Meanwhile, the theory used is the representation of Stuart Hall's theory which discusses language and meaning. The result of this research is that the lecture delivered by UAS contains points in favor of one gender and raises one gender, both male and female. In a meaningful way, these lecture points can be interpreted as being gender biased or referring to gender statements. Regarding, gender can be categorized into a place that is in the form of stereotypes or bad labeling that handles men or women.

The paper is devoted to the review of the data on the lightning parameters necessary for development and perfection of lightning protection systems. It is shown, that down to present time national and international lightning protection standards are based on the Berger’s data on distribution of lightning amplitudes currents. Experimental data on amplitude of the return-stroke current the received recently in Brazil, Japan, USA (Florida) and Austria are resulted. It is emphasized, that the given data on currents of a lightning are characterized by a wide scatter that specifies necessity of realization of the further researches. The detailed description of parameters of the return-stroke peak current, including duration of front time, duration of a pulse, a steepness of a current at the front is given. It is emphasized, that median value of amplitude of a current of the first making the return-stroke in 3-4 times is higher than a current of the subsequent components. The analysis measured median (50%) and severe (1%) values of lighting parameters which are necessary for construction of a curve of distribution in the assumption of its submission lognormal law is carried out. Results of theoretical researches are given according to extreme values of currents of a lightning. It is shown, that, depending on length of the lightning channel (from 4 up to 6 kms), the maximal current can vary from 300 kA up to 500 кА. The minimal value of lightning current is appreciated in 2 кА. The analysis of results of new direct measurements has shown, that for a lightning of positive polarity the maximal current can reach 340 кА, that appreciably is higher than a settlement maximum for a lightning of negative polarity (200 кА). Recent theoretical researches have allowed to prove experimentally received lognormal distribution of currents for lightning of negative polarity.
Contactless DC Motors with Discrete Control of Current in the Armature Winding Sections Using the Rotor Position Feedback Signal
Authors:   Moscow State Technical University named N.E. Bauman, GRIDIN Vladimir M.
Published: March 2021

The article considers contactless DC motors with discrete control of the current in the three- and two-section armature winding using the rotor position feedback signal by means of a converter containing six and four power transistors, respectively. The motors are additionally equipped with a pulse width modulator (PWM) and a rectifier of the rotor position sensor signals. In the PWM, the periodic line-to-line voltage is compared with the rectified sensor signals to produce periodic rectangular pulses with the duration depending on the rotor position, which close the power transistors. Since the motor torque without PWM and the rectified sensor signals vary in a sine wave manner with turning the rotor (i.e., in the same way), a lower motor torque pulsation is obtained. The sensor and PWM designs and operation are described, and the requirements for their output voltages are formulated. Expressions for the contactless DC motor electromagnetic torque and its limit values are obtained. It is established that the electromagnetic torque pulsation levels in the contactless DC motors with three- and two-section armature windings do not exceed 1 and 1.5%, respectively, which is significantly lower than the pulsation level in the well-known contactless motors (4%).

The electromagnetic processes in an apparatus for electromagnetically refining aluminum melt with conduction excitation of current in the melt are simulated. The numerical calculation is carried out using the Maxwell finite element software package. Based on numerical calculations, the equivalent circuit parameters and the main electromagnetic characteristics of the apparatus are determined. From the distribution of bulk electromagnetic forces in the melt, the terminal velocities for particles of different diameters are obtained. It is shown that the operating voltages are in the range from 0.1 to 6.0 V depending on the current and contact resistance values. The preheating of metal in the trough by conductive supply of electricity in the system under study can only be used jointly with another kind of heating. With the operating currents in the secondary circuit higher that 2000 A, the terminal velocities of particles 30—50 m in diameter are in the range 1—4 mm/s. This means that efficient removal of impurity particles with a diameter of 30 m or larger can be achieved in the apparatus under study. With the secondary circuit current less than 1500 A, the particle migration direction is governed by the buoyancy force, which also governs the (inefficient) natural particle sedimentation process.

Published: March 2021

Preparation of examination seating numbers during the final examination at UiTM Pulau Pinang branch is manually drafted and written by the examination unit staff on the class lists printed through the Student Integrated Managements Systems (SIMs). Process of assigning the seating number for each student takes couple of weeks and this task has become a challenging part for examination unit. Since the students’ enrolments are linearly increasing every semester, the workloads among Examination Unit staffs become very burdensome in assigning the seating number. To automate the process of assigning the seating numbers, an algorithm was designed and constructed using the nested repetitive or looping structure techniques with JAVA programming language. Two tasks were identified in assigning the seating numbers; the first task was to set the examination seating number range with start and end numbers for each group of courses registered by the students and the subsequent task was to assign the seating number for each student accordingly by group seating number range as specified during the prior task without the violation or overlapping of seating numbers. The algorithm was tested using real data enrolments taken from SIMs for two semesters and resulted in positive effect especially on the reduction of stressfulness and zero erroneous allocation of the seating numbers.
