An estimated 14.2% (9.34 million people) of people living in the UK in 2019 were international migrants. Despite this, there are no large-scale national studies of their healthcare resource utilisation and little is known about how migrants access and use healthcare services. One ongoing study of migration health in the UK, the Million Migrants study, links electronic health records (EHRs) from hospital-based data, national death records and Public Health England migrant and refugee data. However, the Million Migrants study cannot provide a complete picture of migration health resource utilisation as it lacks data on migrants from Europe and utilisation of primary care for all international migrants. Our study seeks to address this limitation by using primary care EHR data linked to hospital-based EHRs and national death records. 

Our study is split into a feasibility study and a main study. The feasibility study will assess the validity of a migration phenotype, a transparent reproducible algorithm using clinical terminology codes to determine migration status in Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the largest UK primary care EHR. If the migration phenotype is found to be valid, the main study will involve using the phenotype in the linked dataset to describe primary care and hospital-based healthcare resource utilisation and mortality in migrants compared to non-migrants. All outcomes will be explored according to sub-conditions identified as research priorities through patient and public involvement, including preventable causes of inpatient admission, sexual and reproductive health conditions/interventions and mental health conditions. The results will generate evidence to inform policies that aim to improve migration health and universal health coverage.
War is (not) Our Home. Andrei Konchalovsky’s House of Fools (Dom Durakov, 2002) as a Russian Literary and Cultural Archive
Authors: Waligorska-Olejniczak Beata
Published: July 2020

The article focuses on the film House of Fools (Dom Durakov, 2002) of Andrei Konchalovsky, who is one of the most recognized contemporary Russian directors. The selected work is analyzed from the point of view of its intertextual relationships with Russian literary texts and cultural phenomena. The motif of the train, the paradigm of jurodivyj and the reference to the artistic worlds of acclaimed Russian writers (Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Vyrypaev) are among the main parallels which are discussed in the publication. The eclectic nature of the film allows treating it as a cultural archive founded on the storage capacity of the cultural memory. In the context of war, the sphere of art and the imagined can be seen as the most stable reality.

Authors: Sevost'yanov P. , Davydova Yu. , Matyukhin A.
Published: July 2020

The purpose of the article is to identify regional features of the Arctic States of the Eastern hemisphere. The Arctic region has enormous geopolitical and economic potential, and in the twenty-first century it is becoming one of the main objects of conflict of interests of the leading powers of the modern world. In their research, the authors used experimental-theoretical methods, as well as system analysis, logical and historical methods. The results of the analysis of the literature used, actual data, and research searches have shown that the key element in determining the region is its borders. There are many definitions of the Arctic, but due to the Northern features, none of them fully corresponds to the tasks of state regulation of territories. Along with the General assessment of the region and space, the article analyzes in detail various approaches to determining the borders of the Arctic region of all the countries participating in the Eastern hemisphere: Denmark, Russia, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland. A retrospective analysis of the existing definitions for a wide range is carried out. The conclusions summarize that among the Arctic countries, the astronomical approach in combination with the administrative and political definitions of the participating countries themselves prevails, which begins to form trends towards changing approaches to the Arctic as a whole.

Authors: Arhzaf Said , Naciri Bennani Mohammed , Abouarnadasse Sadik , Ziyat Hamid , Qabaqous Omar
Published: July 2020

The fundamental character of the Mg-Al mixed oxide (Mgn(Al)O), derived from the Mg-Al hydrotalcite (MgnAl-CO3-HT), where n corresponds to the Mg/Al molar ratio (n: 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4), was studied by using the adsorption of phenol as a probe acid molecule. The hydrotalcite precursors were prepared by the coprecipitation method. Their derived mixed oxides were obtained by thermal treatment at 450°C in a flow of air. The resulting solids were characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis             (TG-DTA), nitrogen physisorption (BET) and phenol chemisorption. The phenol adsorption followed by UV-Visible spectrophotometry shows that the basicity increases with the Mg/Al molar ratio, such that maximum quantity of phenol adsorbed (Qads = 0.54 mmol/g cat) was obtained with the mixed oxide derived from the Mg-Al hydrotalcite of Mg/Al molar ratio equal to 3.5.

Published: July 2020

We investigate the energy conversion process and subsequent thermal and bit-writing performance of a plasmonic near-field transducer (NFT) under steady-state operation within heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) devices. The NFT is composed of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) layers that are designed to localize heating and produce optimal thermal gradients in order to relieve parasitic heating effects in the NFT. The thin-film MIM structure confines the electromagnetic energy in the down-track direction while cross-track confinement is achieved by tapering the insulator feature of the MIM. A comparative analysis using Gold and a number of novel Au alloys is undertaken. Modeled performance shows excellent thermal spot confinement (50 × 50 nm2) of temperatures above 650 K at an input laser power of 830 nm of less than 5 milliwatts. In addition, micromagnetic simulations using a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation yield excellent signal to noise ratio with minimum jitter of under 2 nm when recording.

Published: July 2020

Este artigo objetiva analisar as práticas de sustentabilidade adotadas nos empreendimentos hoteleiros construídos no contexto dos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016. Para tanto, como procedimentos metodológicos, realizou-se uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, de cunho exploratório e descritivo, com base no método de estudo de casos múltiplos, contemplando-se seis casos, sendo três pesquisas com empreendimentos hoteleiros construídos ou reformados para os Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016 e três pesquisas em construtoras responsáveis pelas obras dos hotéis. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, tal como a técnica de coleta de dados. Os resultados apontam que a sustentabilidade é, parcialmente, integrada à estratégia de negócios, na maioria dos empreendimentos estudados, e que, atualmente, falta uma abordagem sistemática da sustentabilidade. No geral, o foco central nos hotéis está no desenvolvimento do desempenho comercial, em detrimento de algumas iniciativas fragmentadas de sustentabilidade socioambiental implementadas nos empreendimentos
hoteleiros.

Published: July 2020

Lidar com stakeholders é algo complexo, mas o mapeamento e a construção de uma articulação sustentável entre eles são fundamentais para a evolução do turismo. Analisamos a percepção de stakeholders (moradores, turistas, empresários e funcionários públicos) e diferenças entre esses grupos sobre as atividades turísticas no município de São Sebastião (SP). Um levantamento contemplou as esferas da economia, do meio ambiente e do bem-estar social. Há diferença de percepções entre esses grupos em quatro de oito aspectos: 1) felicidade com a forma de como o turismo está sendo desenvolvido; 2) aumento do turismo melhora a economia local; 3) desenvolvimento do turismo aumenta a qualidade de vida; e 4) economia local é mais importante do que as suas preocupações ambientais. Diferem os empresários e os demais stakeholders acerca de aspectos econômicos. Diferem também turistas e demais stakeholders quanto ao desenvolvimento do turismo no município. Os empresários olham o turismo de forma mais favorável. Cogita-se que os resultados tenham sofrido alguma influência contextual, já que outros estudos reportam perfis perceptuais distintos. Este artigo contribui: a) ao mostrar a aplicação de um método de mapeamento de percepções de stakeholders; b) alertando gestores públicos e privados quanto à relevância desses agentes e dessas informações.

Published: July 2020

This study investigated the acute toxicity of Clariasgariepinusfingerlings. The fingerlings of Clariasgariepinuswere acclimatized for 1 week before the range-finding test was carried out at varying concentrations. Sublethal concentration (viz: 0.00ppm, 10.80 ppm, 18.00 ppm, 25.20 ppm, 32.40 ppm and 39.60 ppm of the 2,4-D Dimethylamine salt) were made in a rectangular aquarium. Each experimental concentration was carried out in triplicate with 10 fish each. The media were renewed at every 24 hours throughout the experimental duration viz: 96 hours. When the fish were introduced into the aquarium containing the toxicants, they exhibited some behavioural changes including opercular movement, air gulping and irregular swimming pattern. The mortality rate significantly increased as the concentration of the 2,4-D Dimethylamine salt increased for each of the exposure duration. The LC50 values at 24, 48, 72 and 96 were 86.15 ppm, 36.28 ppm, 18.72 ppm and 15.68 ppm, respectively. From the findings of this study, there is a need for exercise caution in the use of 2,4-D Dimethylamine salt based herbicides close to the aquatic ecosystem.

Authors: Elkabily Ahmed G. , Sebaiy Mahmoud M.
Published: July 2020

Currently, the emergence of a novel human corona virus, SARS-CoV-2, has become a global health concern causing severe respiratory tract infections in humans. Human-to-human transmissions have been described with incubation times between 2-14 days, facilitating its spread via droplets, contaminated hands or surfaces, resulting in high spread and death rates according to date, time and place of infection. We therefore reviewed the literature on all available information about the treatment of the cases, especially critical cases to decrease the mortality rate, the spread and incubation time of the virus by using the adaptive artificial passive immunity (anti-bodies from fully recovered patients with COVID-19).

Published: July 2020

Con el objetivo de conocer la influencia de las estaciones del año respecto de la composición y la calidad sanitaria de leche bovina de la cuenca del Valle de Lerma se llevó adelante el análisis de las muestras de leche remitidas por la industria al Laboratorio de Leche de la Universidad Nacional de Salta durante la primavera (Pr, n:104), el verano (Ve, n:131) y el invierno (In, n: 118) de los años 2017 y 2019. Se determinó el porcentaje de grasa (% G) y de proteína (% P), el punto de descenso crioscópico (DC) y el recuento de células somáticas/ml (RCS/ml). El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando el programa InfoStat 2019p. El modelo respondió a un DCA. El % G y P fueron analizados mediante ANOVA. Mientras que para DC y RCS se utilizó ANOVA no paramétrico de Kruskal Wallis. La comparación entre medias fue a través del Test de Tukey (p<0,05). El % G resultó de acuerdo a los estándares establecidos por la legislación argentina en todas las estaciones del año, aunque el valor en el In fue inferior al de Ve (3,49  vs 3,64, p=0,0009). El % P resultó similar en las 3 estaciones, pero por debajo de los estándares nacionales (In: 3,24, Pr 3,26, Ve: 3,26). El DC (°C) si bien fue inferior al máximo adecuado difirió entre el In (-0,522) y la Pr (-0,519) y el Ve (-0,518) (p=0,0023). El RCS en el In y la Pr fue similar (264000 vs. 228000 cel/ml, respectivamente); mientras que en el Ve resultó superior (p=0,0012) mostrando valores promedio mayores (430000 cel/ml) al límite establecido por los estándares nacionales. Al comparar los resultados obtenidos con los estándares de composición química y sanitaria de referencia en Argentina se observa que, salvo los niveles de proteína y el RCS durante el verano, el resto de los parámetros se encuentran conforme a lo establecido en la legislación nacional.
Algunas similitudes entre la dinámica social: la horda primitiva y el matoneo escolar
Authors: Reátiga Hernández María Eugenia
Published: July 2020

En la horda primitiva descrita por Freud, la más elemental y violenta forma de organización social humana, el padre y jefe de la horda, fuerte, déspota y tirano, era dueño absoluto de todos los poderes. Como rebeldía, los hijos lo asesinan, sienten culpa y, con ello, el padre ejerce más dominio sobre ellos: lo veneran y odian secretamente en la figura del tótem, sustituto paterno. A pesar del desarrollo humano ocurrido desde entonces, se pretende mostrar que las características de la horda aún perviven en la llamada sociedad civilizada de nuestros días y en el problema del matoneo o bullying.
Cuando leer y escribir conspiran con los sentidos y las palabras se sumergen en la música el texto escrito cobra vida
Authors: Callejas Velasco Claudia Marcela , Rugeles Rey Claudia Lucia
Published: July 2020

Desde la etapa inicial del desarrollo humano, la preocupación primordial en los primeros años de vida escolar es el proceso de lectura y escritura. Si bien es cierto que leer y escribir son dos habilidades que van de la mano en el proceso de aprendizaje de los escolares, es indispensable centrar especial interés en ejercicios pedagógicos que enriquezcan el desempeño de estos procesos comunicativos en diferentes contextos sociales. Es fundamental que, para lograr mejores resultados en el proceso de lectura y escritura escolar, el docente deba impactar el sistema nervioso de los estudiantes, activando la inteligencia, que es la cla-ve que permite solucionar problemas mediante el aprendizaje. Así es como se conectan los sentidos con la realidad, para promover el conocimiento. De esta manera, se establece la pertinencia de la música como medio para captar la atención, las emociones, la deducción y la reflexión del mensaje que traen las letras de las canciones, a fin de generar nuevos textos que plasmen sus propias ideas, emociones y experiencias de vida. Por ello, la música se convierte en un vínculo entre la realidad y los intereses de los estudiantes, porque puede ser usada como material didáctico para trabajar aspectos léxicos, gramaticales, fonéticos y culturales.

The reviews of the consumers who are shopping online is playing very important role in shaping the intentions of the purchase of others. The digital platforms are increasing day by day which are giving the opportunity to the customers to share and express their views, comments and ideas, and at the same time it is establishing a powerful tool of marketing which is known as electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) which has become an important source to collect the details about any product for the consumers. Review consensus gives comprehensiveness to e-WOM. Single or limited reviews fail to give a complete picture to the e-WOM, hence to enable customers to make an appropriate decision multiple number of reviews with similarity among them are required.

In the present, study a sample of 328 online customers has been considered through a structured questionnaire designed on five-point interval scale. Mean score and Multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The data analysis has been done with help of SPSS 20.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). Through this study it is found that most of the aspects of review consensus have positive impact on e-WOM and E-Purchase Satisfaction for consumer goods.

Published: July 2020

This study is dedicated to assessing the factors of entrepreneurship that contribute or impede the development of small business in the regions.

The study aims at displaying the factors of entrepreneurship in Russia through statistical indicators and determining their impact on the development of small enterprises in the regions with different conditions and development.

At the first stage of the study, two groups of regions with the most favorable and unfavorable conditions for the development of small business were identified by using the multivariate comparative analysis.

At the second stage, the entrepreneurship factors in the form of statistical indicators were divided into four groups: political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological-innovative. Using the correlation analysis, the factors that had the strongest impact on the development of small business in the regions were determined. These factors were compared to the results of monitoring the entrepreneurship in world countries and Russia. The difference between the results of the statistical analysis and the results of the entrepreneurs’ surveys has been revealed.

During the study it has been determined that depending on a region and its development, one and the same factor of entrepreneurship can influence small businesses in different ways.

It has also been substantiated that it is impossible to correctly compile a general list of entrepreneurship factors for the Russian regions. It is necessary to monitor the opinions of entrepreneurs and carry out the statistical analysis of factors for each group of regions that are similar in their development.

The conclusions of the study can be used as theoretical basis for studying the problems of developing small business in the regions.

This article is concerned with the specific formation of an anti-corruption culture in the law enforcement system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. To this date, the country has formed a large base of legal acts regulating the fight against corruption but their effectiveness raises questions.

In this context, it is necessary to use preventive measures both in society as a whole and in the field of public administration, including law enforcement agencies. One such measure is the formation of an anti-corruption culture. This study aims at analyzing global directions and approaches to the formation of an anti-corruption culture among law enforcement employees. The authors of the article consider the world experience of an anti-corruption struggle and the most efficient models of forming an anti-corruption culture in the sphere of law enforcement.

The authors have proved that the anti-corruption culture of law enforcement agencies differs from that of other society members and revealed its specific features. The necessary condition for their effective neutralization is not only legal education but also the promotion of moral and ethical standards.

According to the authors, this goal can be achieved through anti-corruption education that fosters a culture of involvement and consciousness, a clear rejection of corruption and the popularization of anti-corruption standards. In the course of the study, they highlight the main components of an anti-corruption culture among law enforcement employees and conclude on the further efforts scholars and lawmakers should make to develop a common worldview, scientific and legal concept of the fight against corruption.

The criteria of normalization of investment attractiveness of the economy of the country by indicators of macroeconomic, monetary and currency status, which are formalized by indicators-stimulators, destimulators and interaction of bilateral boundary constraints are proposed. The criteria of identification of risks and threats of safe and dangerous state of development of the economy of the countries by the methods of prognostic extrapolation of foreign direct investment are taken into account. A comparative assessment of global foreign direct investment flows and global GDP, the value of net sales of cross-border mergers and acquisitions was made. The structure of foreign direct investment by regions of the countries of the world is considered, taking into account their external reserves of investment potential. The indicators of investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy and its cooperation with EU countries in terms of the volume of inflow and direct investments are presented. The scenarios for the growth of foreign direct investments in the polystructural space of the world and developing countries are proposed.

This article discusses the influence of positivism in the development of legal science, especially in the development of Indonesian law. Through the positivism which was introduced by August Comte, the study aims to analyze the legal positivism as a strategic-political form that is needed in terms of promoting children's rights. As a result, positivism can not only be used as a medium used to help the modern process: the law there can also be used as a means to provide legal protection for the people’s, especially for the protection of children's rights.

Culture – Society – Education no 2(16) 2019, Poznań 2019, pp. 115–132.Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2019.16.8.Children raised in today’s globalised world face an enormous, globally available and diverse range of verbal and non-verbal messages from the outside every day. In the era of prevailing consumerism, this multitude of information creates new, artificial needs that bring chaos to the children’s world. Human needs, as presented by Maslow, starting with physiological needs, through the need of safety, belonging, love, respect, knowledge and recognition are being redefined and disorganised in common understanding. The following considerations outline the result of the analysis of the content and form of several popular culture texts selected from among all the texts available on the Polish market – the Świerszczyk magazine, aimed at children.

Makroekonomik dengede, iç ve dış hesap denkliği istikrar ve sürdürülebilirlik açılarından önemlidir. İç hesaplardan bütçe ve dış hesap dengesi arasındaki ilişki bilimsel literatürde ikiz açık hipotezi olarak araştırılmıştır. Son dönemde tasarrufların önemi, tasarruf dengesinin incelemeye dâhil edilerek üçüz açık hipotezinin incelenmesini zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 1975 – 2015 dönemi üçüz açık hipotezi test edilmiştir. Ampirik olarak verilerin kırılganlığı ve durağanlık düzeyleri dikkate alınarak ARDL Sınır Testi ve Toda – Yamomoto Nedensellik kullanılmıştır. Değişkenlerde uzun dönem eşbütünleşme ilişkisi bulunmuş, çift taraflı nedensellik çıkmış ve üçüz açık bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Uzun dönem ilişkisinde tasarruf açığı ve bütçe açığının, dış ticaret açığını aynı yönlü olarak etkilediği bulgulanmıştır.
SOSYAL KİMLİK KURAMI AÇISINDAN TÜKETİCİ – MARKA ÖZDEŞLEŞMESİ VE BİR ARAŞTIRMA
Authors: IŞIKAY Tansu , BAŞCI Ahmet
Published: July 2020

Tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi çalışmalarının 2000’li yıllar içerisinde pazarlama literatüründe yoğunluk kazandığı görülmektedir. Tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi, tüketicilerin kimliklerini ifade etmek için markaların sembolik anlamlarını kendilerine nasıl atfettiklerinin anlaşılması açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu sembolik anlamlar benlik – marka arasındaki bağlantıları içerdiğinden tüketici – marka ilişkilerin anlaşılmasında oldukça önemlidir. Temelde sosyal kimlik teorisine dayanan tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi, markaların tüketicilerin kendilerini sınıflandırılması için olanak sağladığı ve bu marka sınıflandırmalarının, marka kullanıcıları arasında olası farklılıklara yol açtığını varsaymaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı sosyal kimlik teorisi açısından tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesini incelemek, tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi ve literatür araştırması sonucunda belirlenen öncüller arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektir. Araştırma modelinde tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi belirli unsurlar açısından incelenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda prestij, marka ayırt ediciliği, markanın sosyal faydası ve hatırlanabilir marka deneyimleri olarak belirlenen öncüllerin marka çekiciliği ve tüketici-marka özdeşleşmesi üzerindeki etkileri ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca marka çekiciliği değişkeninin tüketici – marka özdeşleşmesi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir.
Transfer of learning, fear of failure, procrastination, and self-efficacy in learning English: Any evidence from the arts?
Authors: Tseng Min-Chen
Published: July 2020

This study examined the potential of “transfer of learning” for arts students and the relationships among students’ fear of failure, procrastination, and self-efficacy when learning English. Two studies were conducted; in the first study, we investigated transfer of learning for arts students between their majors and the English language. In Study 2, we explored the influence of the fear of failure, procrastination, and self-efficacy on students’ English proficiency levels. We implemented a structural equation model (SEM) to ascertain whether the fear of failure and procrastination played a mediating role between students’ self-efficacy and English proficiency levels. The participants consisted of 501 students majoring in arts. The research tools included the online General English Proficiency Test and a questionnaire. The results indicated that both hugging and bridging strategies were significantly correlated with students’ English language achievements. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that hugging strategies, such as setting expectations, matching, simulating, modeling, and practicing problem-based learning, were positive predictors. The SEM results indicated that self-efficacy had a negative effect on students’ procrastination, and both the fear of failure and procrastination played mediating roles between students’ self-efficacy and English language achievement.

Published: July 2020

A nickel-rich conductive anti-corrosive coating (CACC) was fabricated to improve the corrosion resistance of the carbon steel grounding materials. The coating was tested using surface contact resistance measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface characterization. The results indicate that the increase of the nickel powder content in the coating induces its electrical conductivity enhancement; the surface contact resistance is as low as 0.05 Ω/cm2 when the nickel powder content is 20%. The EIS data show that the anti-corrosive performance of the coating with 20% nickel powder content in three soil saline-alkali solutions (mild, moderate and severe) is higher than that with 40% nickel powder content, and the impedance of the coating decreases with the increase of the salt concentration. It is detected that 20% nickel powder content can achieve a good balance between low surface contact resistance and high corrosion resistance of the coating.
Real-time measurement system for determining metal concentrations in water-intensive processes

Published: July 2020

The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) technology for monitoring the concentrations of metal ions in water-based solutions. The main focus of this work was paramagnetic ions, such as Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Fe2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+, which are often the principal metal components in mining waters. Laboratory samples of different concentrations of single metals and mixtures of them and samples of real mining water were used in the relaxation rate (R
2) measurements. The measurements of single metal ions were used for the determination of the relaxivities of those ions. The concentrations of the ions in the mining water as a function of pH were also estimated by means of the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method and ChemEQL software for calculating chemical speciation equilibria. Using these concentration values and the relaxivities of the metal ions, the total relaxation rate (R
2) results were then calculated. Principally, the results of these three different determinations are in relatively good agreement. It can be concluded that TD-NMR has great potential for monitoring metal ion concentrations during water treatment.
