The Phenomenology of Terrorism: The Conditional Counterviolence as a Relational Phenomenon
Authors: Dehbashi Fahimeh
Published: January 2020

Whether ends justify all violent means or only conditional violent means? The phenomenological analysis of terrorism prepares a way for looking accurately at how one can make sense of a major transition from an engagement to a disengagement of society. Phenomenologically speaking, Violent acts are interpreted based on intentional experience that conducts the social roots of violence towards an intersubjective relationship between oneself and the Other, understood as Ego and alter Ego. The connection between the I and the Others emanates from two phenomenal concepts of love and hatred. On the one hand, These two concepts have bonded with the freedom of their subjects, so both the I and the Others should be in permanent violence to keeping their freedom. On the other hand, the phenomenological concept of terrorism is examined through the justifi cation of relational violent means, rather than an absolute violence. The main core of this paper is centralized on the formula of Trotsky who asserts `ends justify means.' However, it must be differentiated between terrorists' actions that unconditionally use means and conditional violent actions, used by relational violent means. The latter wants to achieve some goals, such as restoring the self-respect and the personal identity of victims of terrorism, as well as decolonizing and protecting territories. Counterviolence, such as defending our national identity, is necessary to achieve these goals, but it should not be led to assassinating all humans, both civilians and statesmen. The contemporary violence can be thought of as a modern slavery such that it overlooks the idea that all humans are born free. Therefore, counterviolence is permissible without any extreme violence through different methods, such as protesting or making a real international court without any directorial and commanding aspects on behalf of colonialist leaders.
Does Citizen Science Biological Recording Tell Us As Much About The Recorders As Biodiversity?
Authors: Palmer Paul John , de C Henshaw Michael J , Lock Russell , Cann Alan , Nicholls David
Published: January 2020

There is growing body of evidence that a connection to nature is important at both an individual emotional level, and for the development of societal attitudes that rank conservation issues as important, however, there is widespread loss of this connection in modern lifestyles. The recruitment of community stakeholders into Citizen Science biodiversity projects is one mechanism that may help to restore that connection, while at the same time providing outcomes of scientific value. However, the narrative describing such projects tends to use a fundamentally Apollonian view of science, which casts the researcher as an impartial observer and operates within a carefully designed methodology to guide the contributions from volunteer stakeholders. While this is a convenient model for formally reporting scientific outcomes, it masks individual immersive engagement.
Implikasi Kebijakan Fiskal Era Orde Baru Dan Era Reformasi dalam Mewujudkan Pertumbuhan Inklusif Di Indonesia
Authors: Jamil Hidsal
Published: January 2020

Kebijakan fiskal di Indonesia dihadapkan pada persoalan pertumbuhan inklusif. Pertumbuhan ekonomi yang tinggi di Era Orde Baru tidak berlanjut di Era Reformasi. Pertumbuhan ekonomi di Era Reformasi cenderung dibarengi dengan tingkat kemiskinan dan penganggguran yang relatif lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan Era Refomasi. Penelitian ini memiliki dua tujuan utama yakni: (i) menguji inklusivitas pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia; dan, (ii) menganalisis perbedaan implikasi kebijakan fiskal Era Orde Baru dan Era Reformasi dalam mewujudkan percepatan pertumbuhan inklusif di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan metode estimasi parameter 3SLS (Three Stage Least Square), penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia selama periode 1981-2016 masih belum inklusif. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan aktivitas ekonomi di Indonesia mengarah pada sektor yang bersifat padat modal (capital intensive). Selain itu, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa kebijakan fiskal baik di Era Orde Baru dan Era Reformasi memiliki implikasi yang berbeda dalam mewujudkan pertumbuhan inklusif di Indonesia. Peningkatan pertumbuhan ekonomi bersumber dari belanja kesehatan di Era Orde Baru dan belanja pendidikan di Era Reformasi. Sementara itu, penurunan pengangguran berasal dari belanja infrastruktur di Era Orde Baru.
The Language in Gender Discourses in the Court Trials
Authors: Brooke Sheilla
Published: January 2020

The objective of this work is to analyze the language in gender discourses in the court trials. The analysis seeks to understand which aspects of gender relations are brought to the fore substantiate the accusation and defense theses, explaining how the judges also contribute to producing gender senses. The reflection is based on sociology concept, which criticizes the supposed neutrality of showing how it is marked by power relations. From observations and ethnographies of the judgment ritual, it was possible to perceive that the gender social role is widely used and constitutes a central strategy in the court trials to attribute credibility not only to those involved, but to the versions that are in dispute, becoming an important resource of power in the court trials.
Facial metrics generated from manually and automatically placed image landmarks are highly correlated
Authors: Jones Alex Lee , Schild Christoph , Jones Benedict C
Published: January 2020

Research on social judgments of faces often investigates relationships between measures of face shape taken from images (facial metrics), and either perceptual ratings of the faces on various traits (e.g., attractiveness) or characteristics of the photographed individual (e.g., their health). A barrier to carrying out this research using large numbers of face images is the time it takes to manually position the landmarks from which these facial metrics are derived. Although research in face recognition has led to the development of algorithms that can automatically position landmarks on face images, the utility of such methods for deriving facial metrics commonly used in research on social judgments of faces has not yet been established. Thus, across two studies, we investigated the correlations between four facial metrics commonly used in social perception research (sexual dimorphism, distinctiveness, bilateral asymmetry, and facial width to height ratio) when measured from manually and automatically placed landmarks. In the first study, in two independent sets of open access face images, we found that facial metrics derived from manually and automatically placed landmarks were typically highly correlated, in both raw and Procrustes-fitted representations. In study two, we investigated the potential for automatic landmark placement to differ between White and East Asian faces. We found that two metrics, facial width to height ratio and sexual dimorphism, were better approximated by automatic landmarks in East Asian faces. However, this difference was small, and easily corrected with outlier detection. These data validate the use of automatically placed landmarks for calculating facial metrics to use in research on social judgments of faces, but we urge caution in their use. We also provide a tutorial for the automatic placement of landmarks on face images.
Taking the perspectives of many people: humanization matters
Authors: Ye Tian , Furumi Fumikazu , da Silva Daniel Catarino , Hamilton Antonia
Published: January 2020

In a busy space, people encounter many other people with different viewpoints, but classic studies of VPT examine only one agent at a time. This paper explores the issue of selectivity in VPT when different people are available to interact with. We consider the hypothesis that humanisation impacts on VPT in four studies using virtual reality methods. Experiment 1 & 2 use the Director Task to show that for more humanised agents (an in-group member or a virtual human agent), participants were more likely to use VPT to achieve lower error rate. Experiment 3 & 4 used a two-agent social mental rotation task to show that participants are faster and more accurate to recognise items which are oriented towards a more humanised agent (an in-group member or a naturally-moving agent). All results support the claim that humanisation alters the propensity to engage in VPT in rich social contexts.
Adding types, but not tokens, affects property induction
Authors: Xie Belinda , Navarro Danielle , Hayes Brett
Published: January 2020

The extent to which we generalize a novel property from a sample of familiar instances to novel instances depends on the sample composition. Previous property induction experiments have only used samples consisting of novel types (unique entities). Because real-world evidence samples often contain redundant tokens (repetitions of the same entity), we studied the effects on property induction of adding types and tokens to an observed sample. In Experiments 1-3, we presented participants with a sample of birds or flowers known to have a novel property and probed whether this property generalized to novel items varying in similarity to the initial sample. Increasing the number of novel types (e.g., new birds with the target property) in a sample produced tightening, promoting property generalization to highly similar stimuli but decreasing generalization to less similar stimuli. On the other hand, increasing the number of tokens (e.g., repeated presentations of the same bird with the target property) had little effect on generalization. Experiment 4 showed that repeated tokens are encoded and can benefit recognition, but are subsequently given little weight when inferring property generalization. We modified an existing Bayesian model of induction (Navarro, Dry & Lee, 2012) to account for both the information added by new types and the discounting of information conveyed by tokens.

Authors: Regmi Amrit , Bhandari Janak , Bhattarai Sitaram , Gautam Surendra K.
Published: January 2020

Cuprous oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by the reduction of copper sulphate pentahydrate salt at different concentration using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent, polyethylene glycol-6000 as a stabilizer by simple, chemical co-precipitation methods and the effect of concentration on particle size were also studied. The crystalline size and phase of Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) were authenticated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), morphology and structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and elemental analysis was carried out by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The concentration-dependent antimicrobial properties of Cu2O NPs were studied for a different strain of bacteria. XRD and selected area electron diffraction studies (SAED) patterns confirmed the formation of face-centered-cubic Cu2O nanoparticles with size 4.77 nm and 8.02 nm at two different concentrations of 0.01 M and 0.1 M CuSO4, respectively. SEM and TEM images showed that the nanoparticles were uniform, in the form of clusters, and homogeneously distributed. EDX confirmed that synthesized nanoparticles were in pure form having copper and oxygen ratio 3:1 based on the atomic percentage of the chemical species. Cu2O nanoparticles showed excellent antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli). The antibacterial activities of Cu2O NPs were found to be concentration-dependents and large bactericidal effect were seen for Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria at higher concentrations of Cu2O NPs.
Constructing Identities
Authors: Austvoll Knut Ivar
Published: January 2020

This book explores the construction of regional identities in the Early Bronze Age through the temporal variation in burial practice in Southwest Norway. Earthen barrows from the regions Etne, Karmøy, Jæren, and Lista are used as the archaeological source for this study. How historically constituted structures together with external practice form part of an open-ended process of identity construction is investigated. Previous research has often used a set, rigid definition of identity, and earthen barrows along the coast of Southwest Norway have therefore frequently been portrayed as part of a southern Scandinavian culture. These perceptions are not necessarily wrong, but neglect the complicated processes that give rise to groups. In this study it is argued that patterns found in the material remains, both unintentional and intentional, express regional variation. Through a quantitative methodology based on a selection of focus points and spatial analysis in ArcGIS the multifaceted process behind identity construction is showcased. As a result, the southwest coast of Norway during the Early Bronze Age can be seen as a more complex and dynamic region. Although many similarities between regions are shared, they are also clearly divided and competitive.
The cognitive visualization of classifying rules extracted from data based on binary solver matrix model
Authors: Pimenov Viktor , Voronov Mikhail , Pimenov Iliya
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Huge volumes of data are generated in cyberspace or from internal information of various organizations. In order to obtain a set of output data with a clear structure, divide it into significant parts and develop rules of classification, machine learning methods are used. Most inductive methods simulate intermediate and high-level abstract categories in multidimensional space which are difficult to interpret. Purpose: Developing a model of machine learning in the form of a “white box” which explains the chosen solution using conventional production rules, along with cognitive visualizers for characterizing classes of objects. Methods: Formation of a binary decision matrix containing information about a combination of the selected informative sign values which imply the specified classes. Results: A binary decision matrix is formed automatically according to the results of cluster and discriminant analyzes. The learning procedure is reduced to setting interval thresholds and matrix elements, which makes it easy to implement a semantic interpretation of a solving rule. The object is recognized by elementwise conjunction of the matrix cells to which the values of the attributes are pointing, and by selection of a single cell corresponding to the class code. To interpret a rule, a universal algorithm for processing a binary matrix has been developed, which applies user-entered attribute values. The dimension of the viewed space is specified by adjustment rings on the recognition visualizer. The azimuth of an initiated diagram cell with the greatest dimensionality indicates the belonging of an object with the set features to a target class. For the characterization of classes, visualizers have been developed, demonstrating both the distinctive properties of a class and properties that several classes share. In many cases, the object type recognition stops when the depth of the scanned features space is significantly less than with a full search. Practical relevance: The proposed methods of cognitive analysis and data visualization provide not only the classification of data, determination of the significance of features, their ranking and selection, but also the development of rules which reveal the cause-and-effect relationship between the combination of factors and the type of a made decision.
Simulation model of radar data processing in a station network under signal-like interference
Authors: Parshutkin Andrey , Levin Dmitry , Galandzovskiy Aleksey
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Radar stations, when tracking targets in a complex interference environment, form not only target marks but also false marks. A well-developed theory and technique of noise stability is not useful under signal-like interference caused by re-reflections, multi-path propagation or retransmission of the probing signals. The reliability of radar information processing under signal-like interference can be improved by joint processing of data from several spaced posts in a radar station network. Purpose: development of а simulation model which would allow you to estimate the effectiveness of radar target selection by spatial rating of its measured positions, with joint processing of the radar information obtained from two spaced radar stations. Results: We have implemented the framework of joint radar data processing for target selection in a radar station network under signal-like interference. The selection is based on using the information about the coincidence of radar target coordinates measured by spaced radar stations. A simulation model is developed to estimate the target selection probability under signal-like interference during the joint processing of data from two spaced radar stations, by analyzing the coincidence of the measured coordinates of the targets. It has been found out how the target selection probability depends on the noise interference power and the average density of false marks in the range channels of two spaced radar stations. Practical relevance: The simulation results demonstrate the possibility of increasing the range of radar target detection by network radar stations under signal-like interference, and the efficiency of using the information about coincidence of radar target coordinates measured by spaced radar stations, which is better than using only the signal features of radar target selection on the background of false marks.

Authors: Phat Lam Thuan , Long Nguyen Nhat Phi , Son Nguyen Hoai , Vinh Ho Huu , Thang Le Anh
Published: January 2020

Differential Evolution (DE) is an efficient and effective algorithm recently proposed for solving optimization problems. In this paper, an improved version of Differential Evolution algorithm, called iDE, is introduced to solve design optimization problems of composite laminated beams. The beams used in this research are Timoshenko beam models computed based on analytical formula. The iDE is formed by modifying the mutation and the selection step of the original algorithm. Particularly, individuals involved in mutation were chosen by Roulette wheel selection via acceptant stochastic instead of the random selection. Meanwhile, in selection phase, the elitist operator is used for the selection progress instead of basic selection in the optimization process of the original DE algorithm. The proposed method is then applied to solve two problems of lightweight design optimization of the Timoshenko laminated composite beam with discrete variables. Numerical results obtained have been compared with those of the references and proved the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Keywords:

improved Differential Evolution algorithm; Timoshenko composite laminated beam; elitist operator; Roulette wheel selection; deterministic global optimization.
A constant friction coefficient model for concave friction bearings
Authors: Nhan Dao Dinh , Ai Chung Bac
Published: January 2020

This paper develops a constant friction coefficient model that best represents a velocity-dependent friction model for predicting structural response of buildings isolated with concave friction bearings. To achieve this goal, the effect of friction model on structural response of three hypothetical isolated buildings with different number of stories subjected to different earthquake scenarios was numerically investigated. The structural numerical models of the isolated buildings were developed in OpenSees with superstructure is represented by a shear frame model and isolation system using single friction pendulum bearings is modeled by a 3-D friction pendulum bearing element which accepts different friction models. The numerical models were subjected to 30 pairs of ground motions, representing service earthquake level, design basic earthquake level and maximum considered earthquake level at a strong seismic activity area in the world. The investigation reveals that friction coefficient models significantly affect the structural response and there is no constant friction coefficient model that simultaneously best predicts isolation system response and superstructure response. The constant friction coefficient that best predicts isolation system response produces a large error on prediction of superstructure response and vice versa. Based on the numerical results, a constant friction coefficient model for different criteria was developed.

Keywords:

friction coefficient model; friction bearing; isolation system; earthquake response; time-history analysis.

Authors: Dinh Do Duy , Dung Le Tien
Published: January 2020

Advisory speed signs on horizontal curves have been widely used in many countries over the world to improve traffic safety; however these road signs have not been applied in Vietnam. This paper aims to use the direct method and ball-bank indicator one to determine advisory speeds for 10 horizontal curves all with speed limit of 60 km/h on National Highway No. 4A in Lang Son province. The results showed that, advisory speeds were determined by the ball-bank indicator method ranging from 40 to 45 km/h for curves with radius of 70 m or less and from 50 to 55 km/h for curves with radius varying from 75 m to 120 m. As compared to the ball bank indicator method, advisory speeds determined by the direct method were 0 – 5 km/h higher if using 85th percentile speeds of cars, but 5 – 10 km/h lower if using average speeds of trucks.

Keywords:

advisory speed limit; operating speed; horizontal curve; ball-bank indicator; traffic safety.

Strength and Mechanism of Adhesion to the Substrate Layer while Applying Plasma Coatings in Oxidizing Environments
Authors: Stephan Loskutov  , Anatoly Ershov  , Elena Zelenina
Published: January 2020

It has been examined that when an oxide layer is treated under atmospheric conditions on a treated substrate surface, in the contact zone, an oxide layer is always present. This mixed oxide layer influences the contact temperature and the adhesion strength of the particles that are being coated to the substrate surface.Henceforth the process of heating of the contact layer of surface oxides was investigated. The experimentation was demonstrated by coupling of the particles of the coating layer with the surface layer when wetting is provided by melting of the oxide layer. The conditions of the wettable contact under nonstationary heat exchange were determined depending on the thermophysical properties of the contact pair, the temperatures of the coating particles and the substrate. The wetting time was evaluated depending on the thickness of the oxide layer. The identity of the adhesion strength of the coating and the cohesive strength of the oxide layer was substantiated.
It was evaluated that for the inner surface of the coating elastic modulus and breaking stress is about 20% higher than for the external. The detected difference is related to the presence of the temperature gradient across the thickness for coating.

ANALYSING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LAND USE/LAND COVER AND URBAN LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE USING REGRESSION TREE IN İZMİR
Authors: KESGİN ATAK Birsen
Published: January 2020

Quantitative analysis of the effects of
different land use/land cover (LULC) types on the urban heat island (UHI)
formation is very critical for urban planning. The UHI is typically
characterized by land surface temperature (LST) through the use of airborne or
satellite thermal infrared remote sensing. In this context, this research aims
to determine urban heat island formation in Izmir by calculating LST value and
to evaluate the relationship between LST values and LULC classes and their
sizes using regression tree analyses. The main materials of the analyses are
composed of three cloud free Landsat 8 images for the hottest summer period in
Izmir as well as the Urban Atlas 2012 data set. The results showed that LST values were increased with the increasing proportion of artificial surfaces and decreasing the presence of vegetation and water for the selected three months. It is also found that
there is a strong positive correlation between the LST values and mine, dump
and construction sites. This research showed that such land uses not only
destruct the natural and cultural landscape elements, but also increase the
land surface temperature and adversely affect the urban climate regardless of
their sizes in the whole landscape.
CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY OF SACRED PLACES: THE CASE STUDY OF NAZİMİYE DISTRICT (TUNCELİ)
Authors: UZUN Alper , YILDIZ Buse
Published: January 2020

This study deals with how the sacred places in the Nazimiye district of
Tunceli province constitute an environmental perception between man and nature.
The main question the research tries to answer is; how the relationship between
man and the environment gives a privilege to the space with the values of
faith. In this direction, this research focuses on the relationship between
human and sacred places through symbols, spatial emptiness, implicit
environmentalism and spatial awareness approaches. Since the subject is cultural
research, a qualitative method has been adopted. In light of this method, first
of all, a literature review has been done about the research subject and the
research area. Interviews, focus group interviews and observations were made
using the ethnographic method. A total of one hundred twenty days of fieldwork
was conducted following the method chosen. The research results show that, people
develop a sense of belonging towards the sacred places with the reflection of
cultural values on the space. As a result of the narration of the sacredness on
a place, symbolic spaces have been formed within the sacred places. The visit
to the sacred place is an essential element for visitors. On the other hand, when
visitors have difficulty in accessing the sacred place due to material or spiritual
obstacles, they have imitate these places in another area. For this reason, alternative
special places have been constructed representing the sacred place, rather than
the actual visiting site. In addition, the level of consciousness of people in
their actions in the sacred place develops depending on the effect of spatial
awareness. As a result of the belief structure in the region, it can be seen
that the behaviors that are accepted as service/worship in the space take place
in the form of implicit environmentalism.

Published: January 2020

Çalışma alanı, Anadolu'nun morfotektonik bölgelerinden olan Doğu Anadolu Sıkışma Rejimi Bölgesinde, BZKZ'nin segmentleriyle şekillendirilen tektonik bir kuşak üzerinde bulunmaktadır. Aynı zamanda Toros Orojen Kuşağı'nın doğusunda bulunan alanın ana yapısı, KB-GD yönlü uzanan kıvrımlı yapıdan oluşmaktadır. Ancak Alp Orojenezi'nin post-Miyosen döneminde paroksizmal safhalarıyla şiddetlenen dislokasyonları, genel morfografik yapıyı değiştirmiştir. Bu değişiklik, Jura–Kretase yaşlı masif kireçtaşlarının rijit karakterlerinden dolayı oluşan kırılmalarla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma alanı çevresinde hâkim yapı kıvrımlı olsa da şekillendirici son hareket faylanmalar olmuş ve fay jeomorfolojisine ait birçok şekil bölgenin jeomorfolojik peyzajını zenginleştirmiştir. Bu çalışma, Sinebel Yarma Vadisi ve çevresinde bulunan tektono-jeomorfolojik şekillerin tespitini, litolojik, tektonik ilişkilerini ve peyzaja etkisini ortaya konulmasını amaçlamıştır. Arazi ve literatür çalışmaları sonucunda çalışma alanında kırık tektoniğini yansıtan birçok jeomorfik öge belirlenmiştir; asılı vadiler, asılı mağara, fay vadileri, fay diklikleri, basamaklı topoğrafya, façetalı tepeler, yönlü lapyalar, heyelanlar, kret, antesedant vadiler, sıralı kayşat konileri, kesilmiş tepeler, traverten, sıralı su kaynakları, çarpılmış vadi yamaçları, eğim kırıklıkları. İncelemeler sonucu bu şekillerin sıkışma ve gerilme tektoniğine bağlı oluştukları anlaşılmıştır. Alanın jeomorfolojik peyzajı tektono-dinamik karakterlidir, daha sonra denüdasyonel süreçlerin devreye girmesiyle de polijenik bir topografya özelliği kazanmıştır.
Development of a music therapy assessment tool for patients in low awareness states
Authors: Magee Wendy L.
Published: January 2020

People in low awareness states following profound brain injury typically demonstrate subtle changes in functional behaviors which challenge the sensitivity of measurement tools. Failure to identify and measure changes in functioning can lead to misdiagnosis and withdrawal of treatment with this population. Thus, the development of tools which are sensitive to responsiveness is of central concern. As the auditory modality has been found to be particularly sensitive in identifying responses indicating awareness, a convincing case can be made for music therapy as a treatment medium. However, little has been recommended about protocols for intervention or tools for measuring patient responses within the music therapy setting.

This paper presents the rationale for an assessment tool specifically designed to measure responses in the music therapy setting with patients who are diagnosed as minimally conscious or in a vegetative state. Developed over fourteen years as part of interdisciplinary assessment and treatment, the music therapy assessment tool for low awareness states (MATLAS) contains fourteen items which rate behavioral responses across a number of domains. The tool can provide important information for interdisciplinary assessment and treatment particularly in the auditory and communication domains. Recommendations are made for testing its reliability and validity through research.
A pilot investigation of effectiveness of a memory-improvement program on subjective and objective memory in healthy young adults: Directions for future research
Authors: Sullivan Karen , Madden Isabelle
Published: January 2020

Previous research on the effectiveness of memory-improvement programs has typically included older adults or those with cognitive impairments. Results from these studies have been difficult to generalise to other populations and yielded inconsistent results, partly depending on the type of memory measured. Given that the effectiveness of memory-improvement programs on young healthy adults is not well understood, the aim of this study was to evaluate a commercially available memory training program, Memory Power, marketed as effective for all age groups, and all types of memory. Twenty, first-year psychology students were randomly allocated to one of two groups: Memory Power or Control. It was hypothesised that Memory Power participants would have significantly increased objective memory performance (RAVLT, RMBT), subjective memory functioning (EMQ, SMQ), and reported use of prospective memory aids (MAQ) at Follow-Up, than Controls. Multiple 2 × 2 mixed repeated-measures ANOVAs were used to assess training effects between Memory Power and Control groups, across Baseline and Follow-Up sessions. No significant group differences were found in subjective memory functioning, or reported use of prospective memory aids. Findings on objective memory function were mixed; no significant effects were found with the (RAVLT), but significant effects (a group main effect and a group by session interaction) were found using RMBT, suggesting improved performance on this measure of memory function for trained participants. The implications of these results for memory-improvement programs more broadly are discussed.

Few studies have revealed the impact of tele-coaching on patients with intractable diseases, including intractable neurological diseases. This study aimed to analyze and describe subjective evaluations of coaches and intervention subjects on the functions of tele-coaching intervention for patients with spinocerebellar degeneration. This qualitative descriptive study was conducted between December 2005 to July 2006. Immediately prior to data collection three experienced coaches had delivered individual 10 session semi-structured tele-coaching interventions to 24 subjects. Data from the 24 logs kept by coaches and individual interviews with the three coaches and nine patients were analyzed using a content analysis technique. Although patients' subjective evaluations varied, the themes that emerged from the data analysis were generally positive: that the tele-coaching enabled patients to tell their own stories in a daily-life setting, encouraged them to experience and adopt fresh points of view, and helped them to start working towards attainable goals without giving up. Our results indicate that it is especially important to encourage patients with intractable diseases to become aware of their latent desires and goals. For patients such as those with spinocerebellar degeneration the time frame for coaching interventions might be extended when required to accommodate treatment of their changing medical and mental condition.

Cellular immunity of rabbits incase of parasite association (Treponema cuniculi and Eimeria sp.)
Authors: Duda Y. V.
Published: January 2020

Despite a huge number of studies, the uniqueness of antiparasitic immunity is so great that there is still insufficient knowledge of the factors contributing to the manifestation of the characteristics of immunity in mixed parasitic diseases of rabbits. Therefore, the question of the influence of the association of pathogens Treponema cuniculi and Eimeria sp. on indicators of cellular immunity of rabbits is relevant. The study was conducted on 59 male rabbits age 3–5 months of the Californian breed, selected by analogy. Animal were separated into two groups: healthy animals (control group) and sick animals (research group). Intensity of invasion was determined by the method of the Mac-Master. It has been established that the level of damage of rabbits by spirochetosis and eimeriosis was, on average, 1155.17 ± 184.87 and 6668.97 ± 284.16 pathogens in 1 g of feces. The count of T- and B-lymphocytes was determined by the method of spontaneous rosette-formation with sheep erythrocytes. Parasitizing the association of pathogens Treponema cuniculi and Eimeria sp. was revealed a high number of leukocytes (1.22 times, P < 0.001), which increased mainly due to lymphocytes, which were 1.45 times higher (P < 0.001), as well as neutrophilic metamyelocytes – 1.48 times (P < 0.05), eosinophils – 1.68 times (P < 0.001) and basophils – 1.57 times (P < 0.001) compared with similar blood parameters of healthy animals. In the blood of sick rabbits, the absolute number of T-lymphocytes (1.56 times, P < 0.001) and B-lymphocytes (3.02 times, P < 0.001) was significantly higher in comparison with a low number of O-lymphocytes (3.46 times, P < 0.001) compared with the control. This indicates the redistribution of lymphocytes to cells that carry T and B lymphocyte receptors on the plasma membrane. The absolute number of T-lymphocytes became high due to T-helpers, which in these animals were higher both in absolute (1.87 times, P < 0.001) and percentage (by 9.18%, P < 0.001) compared to control. Moreover, the percentage of T-suppressors in the blood of rabbits of the experimental group was significantly lower on 5.46% (P < 0.05) compared with the same blood count of healthy animals. Such a redistribution of the T-cell population in the peripheral blood of this group of rabbits led to an increase in the immunoregulatory index by 1.64 times (P < 0.01) than in healthy ones. High IRI and the number of T-active lymphocytes (by 28.23%, P < 0.05) in the blood of rabbits with parasitism of the association of pathogens Treponema cuniculi and Eimeria sp. indicate increased immune system tension.
