El descenso de la fecundidad y la maternidad adolescente en América Latina y su desigualdad socioterritorial: el caso de cinco grandes ciudades
Authors: San Juan Bernuy Victoria , Rodriguez Vignoli Jorge
Published: August 2023

La salud sexual y reproductiva, que incluye la unión y el embarazo adolescente, es un fenómeno multidimensional y multisectorial en el cual concluyen diversos factores, que operan o se expresan de manera desigual entre los grupos socioeconómicos. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre el descenso de la fecundidad adolescente y la desigualdad social y territorial en cinco ciudades latinoamericanas. Se utilizó para ello la explotación de los censos de población para las rondas censales de 1990, 2000, 2010 y 2020 por medio de indicadores de polaridad, correlación y tasas específicas. El principal hallazgo del estudio es que la desigualdad social de la unión y la maternidad entre adolescentes aumentó en todas las ciudades, tanto por la menor caída entre las adolescentes de estratos pobres, como por el mayor descenso entre las adolescentes de estratos acomodados.
The worlds of Edward Said
Authors: Kovelman A. B.
Published: August 2023

Edward Said achieved international renown with his book Orientalism, destined to become a bible of postcolonial studies, and as an advocate of Palestinian rights. The scholar was dubbed a nationalist and supporter of Islam. His essays, however, reveal a cosmopolitan Said who abhors the ‘politics of identity,’ Islamism, and religious parties. He expressed his admiration for Jewish philologists and philosophers, felt compassion for the suffering of the Jewish people and championed a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian problem. He borrowed Goethe’s concept of Weltliteratur. In Said’s interpretation, it transcends the boundaries of national literatures without obliterating their individual character. Assassination of either of the culture’s ‘two souls,’ the national and the cosmopolitan, may lead to cultural devitalisation and stagnation. Humanism constituted a dominant concept in Said’s works. Although ridiculed by postmodernist literary criticism, humanism is hailed by Said as essential for understanding literature. The dilemma at the core of the scholar’s work remains just as relevant to this day: how to combine cosmopolitism with the love for one’s own nation and how to fight for the rights of your own people without spewing hatred at others.

Authors: Ovanesyan S. G.
Published: August 2023

The review is concerned with the book ‘In the Whole World, There’s Only One Armenia…’ [‘Na svete lish odna Armeniya…’] — a collection of scholarly and critical articles by the renowned scholar of Russian-Armenian literary connections Magda Janpoladyan. In focus of the book are works by those Russian poets who visited Armenia and, having fallen in love with the country, decided to spend the rest of their lives in close contact with this region and its culture and literature. With the help of the poets’ epistolary legacy, reminiscences, and literary output, as well as other sources, the author creates a unique overview of Russian-Armenian cultural ties. The book names V. Bryusov, O. Mandelstam, S. Gorodetsky, S. Marshak, V. Zvyagintsev, M. Petrovykh, E. Nikolayevskaya, M. Matusovsky, M. Dudin, A. Gitovich, S. Lipkin, A. Tarkovsky, B. Chichibabin and others as poets whose life and work reveal a profound impact from an unforgettable encounter with Armenia.
Cinematography in V. Nabokov’s novellas from The Return of Chorb [Vozvrashchenie Chorba] cycle
Authors: Shulyatieva D. V.
Published: August 2023

The image of a motion picture emerges in Nabokov’s early works collected under the title The Return of Chorb [Vozvrashchenie Chorba], years before his major ‘cinematographic’ novels. The article considers cinematography as a theme of three novellas in the collection and explores its functions. It argues that, as well as integrating the image of a film in his characteristic system of reflections and refractions, Nabokov employs it to create metatextual self-reflection: in Nabokov’s view, literature has cinematographic potential for conjuring up optical illusions and plunging the reader into a hallucination or a dream, and in doing so denies its own realistic or mimetic qualities. Just like a motion picture, Nabokov’s novellas are first and foremost interplays of colour and light and their movement — features that distinguish a cinematographic image from a photographic one. Nabokov also speaks of audial imagination as another common element between films (silent at that time) and literature: according to the novelist, a verbal image, silent and visual by nature, allows for the inaudible to be heard and challenges the veracity of the visible.
‘The consonance of concepts’ bormochet [mumbles] - prorochit [prophesies] in V. Nabokov’s The Gift [Dar]
Authors: Cherkasov V. A.
Published: August 2023

The article sets out to reveal intertextual connections between Nabokov’s novel The Gift [Dar] and the theoretical and literary legacy of Russian futurism perceived through Heavy Lyre [Tyazhyolaya lira], a collection of verse by V. Khodasevich. To do so, the author attempts to demonstrate the implementation of the method called ‘the consonance of concepts’ in The Gift, with the example of the concepts bormochet [mumbles] — prorochit [prophesies], establish their intertextual links to Heavy Lyre, and define the constructive role of ‘the consonance of concepts’ in Nabokov’s works. The extract from the novel that proves crucial for the article’s objective describes F. Godunov-Cherdyntsev’s encounter with a blind beggar, who asks him for money. The extract reveals a reminiscence of the Futurist method of ‘the consonance of concepts’ with the example of the consonant words bos [barefoot] — bog [god], which, in turn, help to decipher the semantic implications of the bormochet — prorochit motifs. V. Cherkasov also identifies the method’s literary and critical functions: pointing to its constructive nature in Khodasevich’s Heavy Lyre, Nabokov reveals the book’s modernist origins.

Authors: Balakleets Irina Ivanovna
Published: August 2023

The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that unemployment is one of the main problems that have a direct impact on the labor market at the macro and micro levels. The object of the study was the social relations that develop in the process of legal regulation of unemployment and employment in the Russian Federation. The subject of the study was federal regulatory legal acts providing social protection for the unemployed in the Russian Federation, materials of state authorities and their territorial divisions, judicial acts, as well as scientific developments of domestic authors. In the process of research, general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, structural and systematic approach) were applied, private scientific methods were used, among which statistical, logical, comparative and formal legal methods should be distinguished. In the scientific works of modern authors, the development of theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept and categories of the unemployed continues, research is being conducted on the legal status of the unemployed and its classifications, legal issues of social security are considered. In this context, the issues of legal regulation of employment and social protection against unemployment seem relevant. Based on the results of the study, promising directions in the mechanism of legal regulation were identified.

Published: August 2023

As quedas são eventos multifatoriais, sendo descritas como problema de saúde pública, onde cerca de um terço das pessoas acima de 65 anos caem ao menos uma vez por ano, também estando relacionada a fatores de risco intrínsecos, extrínsecos e comportamentais. Alguns elementos capazes de gerar medo de cair em pessoas idosas incluem alterações na força de preensão manual, condições de saúde e histórico de quedas. Ademais, a fraqueza muscular de membros inferiores é fator predisponente para déficits no equilíbrio postural, visto que essa musculatura possui papel importante na estabilização durante a marcha. Assim, o objetivo foi avaliar a força de preensão manual e força muscular isocinética dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho em pessoas idosas com e sem medo de quedas. Foram incluídas pessoas idosas (acima de 60 anos), sendo submetidas a avaliação de dados sociodemográficos, da força muscular dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho por meio da dinamometria isocinética, da força de preensão manual por meio do dinamômetro Jamar® e do medo de quedas por meio da Escala de Eficácia de Quedas - Internacional. Participaram do estudo 40 voluntários com idade média de 68,9 ± 5,6 anos, sendo 32 mulheres e 8 homens. Os resultados demonstraram que não houve diferença significativa do pico de torque flexor (p=0,66) e extensor (p=0,86) do joelho, bem como a força de preensão manual (p=0,08) entre os grupos com e sem medo de quedas. Adicionalmente, os voluntários do sexo masculino apresentaram menor medo de quedas e maior força de preensão manual e pico de torque dos músculos extensores de joelho, quando comparados a voluntárias do sexo feminino. Finalmente, conclui-se que idosos com medo de quedas não possuem déficits na força de preensão manual, como também dos músculos flexores e extensores de joelho quando comparados a idosos sem medo de quedas.

O objetivo do estudo foi observar a relação da força de preensão manual (FPM) com a força muscular isocinética, a qualidade de vida, a ingestão calórica e a adiposidade em idosas sedentárias. Para tanto, foi recrutado 37 idosas sedentárias, entre 62 e 91 anos de idade, divididas em dois grupos: FPM ≥16 kg e (n=19) FPM <16 kg (n=18). A análise da composição corporal foi realizada pela Absortometria Radiológica de Dupla Energia (DEXA) e protocolo de sete dobras cutâneas. A medida da força de FPM foi obtida com dinamômetro hidráulico manual e a força muscular isocinética com um dinamômetro isocinético e o questionário Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) foi utilizado para verificar os aspectos referentes à qualidade de vida e usou-se um recordatório alimentar de 24 horas para observar o consumo alimentar. A análise de dados foi desenvolvida pelo teste Shapiro-Wilk para observar a normalidade dos dados. Os escores de qualidade de vida entre os grupos foram comparados pelo teste de Mann-Whitney Foi utilizada a correlação de Pearson para avaliar correlações entre a força de preensão manual e os parâmetros antropométricos, força muscular e ingestão calórica e a correlação de Spearman para avaliar a correlação entre a FPM e os escores da qualidade de vida Os resultados evidenciaram que a FPM das idosas apresentou correlação direta e estatisticamente significativa apenas com o pico de torque dos extensores do joelho direito (r = 0,506; p = 0.007) e dos flexores do joelho direito (r = 0,440; p = 0,022). Na correlação categorizados em dois grupos; um com maior e outro com menor FPM, o grupo com força ≥16 kg apresentou menor percentual de gordura no tronco (29,9 ± 11,8 %), menor massa gorda total (29,8 ± 11,1 %), e melhor qualidade de vida no item capacidade funcional (79,2 ± 24,1) comparado ao grupo de menor força. Nesse sentido, concluímos que a força está intrinsicamente ligada ao bem-estar e a saúde do idoso.

Provenance means origin. There are two types of Provenance namely Data Provenance and Workflow Provenance. Data Provenance refers to the process of recording and tracking the source or origin of data while workflow provenance means history of workflows and their data that were used while performing an operation to get required result. The results which are obtained while performing operations are called datasets. On these datasets, the queries are performed to get required result. While exploring provenance topic in data and workflow, the author have tried to explore how a model can be presented and discussed which can capture interaction between data provenance and workflow provenance. In this paper, the author have discussed further about provenance, its types and its importance and also discussed how to execute query on provenance data. The main focus of this study was on the model which captures interaction between workflow and data provenance including the above mentioned topics.
Francis Meres Revisited
Authors: Stritmatter Roger
Published: August 2023

Francis Meres’ 1598 Palladis Tamia, subtitled in English ‘Wit's Treasury’, is a quintessential document in Shakespeare studies. With ten Shakespeare plays already in print anonymously, Meres’ commonplace book for the first time identifies ‘Shakespeare’ as a playwright, and within weeks of Meres’ book, the name ‘Shakespeare’ appears on the second quarto title pages of Richard II and Richard III, transforming ‘anonymous’ into ‘Shakespeare’ in a blink. This article analyses the methods of commonplace book arrangement used by Francis Meres, Master of Arts at both Cambridge and Oxford, to have his private say about Shakespeare. In his 1597 God's Arithmetic, Meres approves the opinion of Pythagoras who wrote over the door of the entrance to his school: ‘Let none enter here that is ignorant in Arithmetic’. The ideas of God's Arithemetic, applied to Palladis Tamia, disclose Meres’ meticulous mastery of erudite humanist design that is the hallmark of his pedagogic method and his ‘post-Stratfordian’ conclusions.
‘To Say What Could Not Be Said’
Authors: Chakraborty Joydeep
Published: August 2023

Though post-9/11 metapoetry effectively represents the critical reality of 9/11, there has been no concerted scholarly study of this subgenre of poetry so far. In this article, I wish to examine three post-9/11 metapoems to attain a bipartite aim. First, I want to demonstrate that, through a much more sophisticated metapoetic subjectivity than is found in many ‘belated’ post-9/11 poems, these three poems enact the crisis of language and the difficulty of representing 9/11. Second, I would like to formulate a theory of post-9/11 metapoetry based on the analysis of these poems and the consciousness of their twentieth-century counterparts to indicate a new aesthetic stage in the representation of crisis in metapoems. My article conveys the ultimate message that post-9/11 metapoetry overcomes the crisis of representation in a way that transcends the particular event of 9/11 and becomes a general aesthetic mode of speaking the unspeakable in the face of any ineffable traumatic experience.
NP on Logarithmic Space
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: August 2023

\(P\) versus \(NP\) is considered as one of the most important open problems in computer science. This consists in knowing the answer of the following question: Is \(P\) equal to \(NP\)? It was essentially mentioned in 1955 from a letter written by John Nash to the United States National Security Agency. However, a precise statement of the \(P\) versus \(NP\) problem was introduced independently by Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin. Since that date, all efforts to find a proof for this problem have failed. Another major complexity classes are \(L\) and \(NL\). Whether \(L = NL\) is another fundamental question that it is as important as it is unresolved. We prove that \(NP \subseteq NSPACE(\log^{2} n)\) just using logarithmic space reductions.
Perceptions of 3rd Generation CPTED: Emerging Applications of Technology in Public Space Designs in Smart Cities
Authors: Raj Mamatha P , Patil Dakshayini R
Published: August 2023

This paper aims to explore the emerging 3rd Generation Crime Protection Through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and applications of technology in designing urban public spaces. Smart cities are rising worldwide becoming savvy, well-networked, safe, and intending to make the lives of citizens better and more comfortable while enhancing sustainability and urban living. Urban design and architecture in cities become reinforced with appropriate technological safety systems to support CPTED. Three cases of technology-based secure-smart systems are presented here namely- intelligent public lighting, smart surveillance, and digital interactive applications in city space designs. Literature and research indicate that while cities are becoming smart and networked, adopting renewable energy to run public security functions, they face two main issues: data breaches and the accommodation of the physical devices in the spatial layout amicably. Hence, smart cities along with service providers are working towards envisaging a robust scheme of action. This study looks at firstly, the aspect of ‘technology’ towards creating smart and safer urban spaces and secondly, derives a proposed framework for an integrated mesh of digital security ecosystems as strategic aid in architectural and urban design decisions by city municipals.
Mediating Role of Outsourcing on The Relationship Between Lean Manufacturing Practices and Profitability
Authors: Mwelu Noah , Watundu Susan , Moya Musa
Published: August 2023

Profitability of manufacturing firms is a key component determining their performance in an intensive dynamic manufacturing industry. Mergers, takeovers and collaborations are on the increase because of collapsing firms attributed to declining profits. Whereas strategic efforts have been made through collaborative research involving industry stakeholders and scholars, strategies directly influencing profitability have been discovered. However, profit decline still persists. Accordingly, restless researchers are still struggling to find amicable strategies to ensure the profitability of manufacturing firms. It is on this notch that this paper weighs in by considering the mediating role of outsourcing on lean manufacturing practices and profitability. Whereas previous scholars have used these factors directly to determine their impact on firms’ profitability, less attention was paid to the mediation effect. Hence, this paper contributes by bridging the gap. A sample of 82 manufacturing firms in Uganda was involved based on a cross-sectional research design to determine this interactive relationship. Additionally, widely used Sobel tests in the Med-Graph Excel programme following Baron and Kenny’s mediation approach were adopted to test the mediation effect. The findings proved that outsourcing significantly mediated the relationship between lean manufacturing practices and the profitability of manufacturing firms (Sobel Z-value = 2.562, p = 0.010).
A Presupposition of Bell’s Theorem
Authors: Held Carsten
Published: August 2023

The most prominent version of Bell’s theorem consists of the Bell-CHSH inequality and a quantum-mechanical example that violates it. The inequality is shown to rest on the non-trivial presupposition that the values of elementary spin quantities are scalars, and not, e.g., vectors. In the version considered, the theorem’s argument succeeds for scalars and fails for vectors. However, the reference to vector values can be motivated by the physics of spin. Hence, recognizing the presupposition suggests a critical reassessment of the theorem.

Published: August 2023

Em 9 casos de TU sólidos avançados, foi ensaiada terapêutica anticoagulante e antifibrinolítica: Numa primeira etapa com citostáticos e anticoagulantes, se tentou impedir a formação de micro-metástases e facilitar a penetração de quimioterápicos nas metástases já formadas, com a intenção de destruí-las. Numa segunda etapa, com antifibrinolíticos apenas, se tentou impedir o crescimento de metástases já constituídas. Este objetivo, se alcançado, poderia proporcionar uma relação TUMOR-HÓSPEDE aceitável, às expensas de um agente não tóxico. Os resultados foram díspares. Por isso mesmo cremos que pesquisas neste sentido devem prosseguir até se estabelecer definitivamente o papel exato dos mecanismos de coagulação e fibrinólise na formação e comportamento da doença metastática.

Authors: Mustamu Alva Cherry , Nobel Bistara Difran , Susanti
Published: August 2023

Anxiety is vital in determining the decision of appendectomy surgery. Anxiety may be reduced with support from family and society. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between family and social support on the anxiety of preoperative appendectomy patients. This study used an analytical descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach on 15 preoperative appendectomy patients in the operating room. Collecting data was using a questionnaire from one month. Data analysis was using Spearman rank test. The study’s results indicate that family support has a significant value of 0.904 for anxiety, while social support has a significant value of 0.059. This study shows that family and social support do not affect the anxiety status of preoperative appendectomy patients. Therefore, future research on the current topic is recommended but with a larger sample to prove the hypothesis.

Wenn das Ziel die Betonung dramatischer Aspekte des Spiels zur Verwendung im Fremdsprachenlerngeschehen ist, bietet sich der Bezug zur Dramapädagogik an. Nach einer Erörterung, inwieweit sich Fantasy-Rollenspiele dem dramapädagogischen Repertoire zuordnen lassen, werden anhand theoretischer Überlegungen, Beispielen aus Rollenspielsystemen, praktischer Erfahrungen aus einer Rollenspiel-AG und weiteren Projekten der Forschungsliteratur unterschiedliche Verwendungsmöglichkeiten aufgezeigt.

Inability to speak or to talk is called muteness or mutism; often caused by speech disorder, loss of hearing or insome cases, surgery. The families of these people suffering from such disease often learn sign languages like American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate, but if a mute person meets someone who doesn’t know ASL then there will be a communication barrier between them. So, to overcome this communication barrier we require a system through which a mute person can communicate with everyone, hence breaking down a speech barrier. In this regard, we proposed a system based on image processing to identify the sign and perform some common speech patterns using the speaker.

American Association ofState Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)guidelines were used in planning of the parking facility. Theplanned parking facility has capacity to accommodate around700 cars and 2000 motorcycles. A traffic study has been carriedout to estimate the space required by vehicles for parking in theSSUET. Data analysis of traffic growth of Karachi city has beenperformed to study the co-relation between traffic growth rate ofKarachi and number of parking vehicles in SSUET. It is foundthat no such co-relation exists and the city’s traffic has no impacton number of parking vehicles in SSUET. It is found that theparameters, affecting growth of parking traffic in SSUET, arenumber of departments of the university and number of seats perdiscipline allowed by HEC/PEC. Finally, construction of aparking plaza in SSUET is proposed for improvement of parkingfacilities.

Most of telecommunication traffic (voice and data) around the globe is carried over the optical fiber cable. Theinternational traffic through various countries is carried over optical fiber cables laid under the sea. Similarly the long-haul traffic within the country is through optical fiber laid underground. Stress, strain, humidity, temperature, bending at acute angles affects the propagation of light energy in the optical fiber cable. All such factors increase the optical loss and attenuate the signal. The attenuation, especially in the long-haul communication increases the bit error rate and degrades the quality of service. In this paper, different optical losses are analyzed by setting up several experiments at a single mode optical fiber spool of 4 km. The optical fiber segment was subjected to various stress, temperatures and acute bending conditions. The resulting losses and degradation of the signal was measured using OTDR and Power meter.

In today's era when precise, accurate and time efficient systems are in great demand, automated techniquessupersede manual practices. As a need of time, we introduce a wireless, automated, cost effective, yet reliable and efficient system of fluid dispensing. Our prototype system can dispense varying amounts of fluids in milliliters (maximum 1L) as per demand of the user. It uses the principle of time based fluid dispensing achieved through the built-in timer property of the AT89C51 microcontroller. To satisfy the principle used and verify the system's accuracy, fluids of varying viscosities were dispensed and monitored. The experimental results of the wireless fluid dispensing system when tested showed linear relationship between the dispensing time and desired volumes of fluids having differing viscosities. The added feature of wireless control using HM-TRP series transceiver module along with onsite control via a keypad eliminated the need of physical presence of operator within the range of 10 meters in order to make the system operational. This system can be used in pharmaceutical and beverage industries as well as in different laboratories for dispensing and filling volumes of fluids with varying viscosities.
