Health and hygiene aspects affecting the development of the agricultural production environment
Authors: Bezrukova Galina Aleksandrovna , Novikova Tamara Anatolievna , Mikerov Anatoliy Nikolaevich
Published: July 2021

The results of a comprehensive multi-factor analysis of updated information about the demographic situation in rural settlements of the Russian Federation and working conditions in the agricultural sector of the economy are presented. It is shown that in the period from 2010 to 2018, stable population growth was registered only in 20.8 % of rural municipalities, while 79.2 % of settlements were characterized by a decrease in rural residents. Along with depopulation, critical for the sustainable development of rural areas is a prevailing explicit deformation of the age structure of the population and associated growth of demographic burden on the able-bodied rural population due to low birth rate and high death rate of men of working age, as well as the continuing migration outflow of the economically active population in the regional and Federal centers of Russia. The main place of employment in rural areas remains the production of agricultural products. Despite the differences characteristic of technological processes in certain types of agricultural activities, the specifics of labor in the agricultural sector have common aspects related to the impact of harmful factors of the production environment, the severity and intensity of the labor process. The number of people working in the agricultural sector in harmful and dangerous working conditions in the period from 2011 to 2017 decreased by 19.2 %, while the share of this category of people in the total structure of those employed in agricultural production decreased by 4.4 % to 29.4 % in 2017. According to the results of inspections of territorial bodies of Rospotrebnadzor in the period from 2011 to 2017, the share of jobs that do not meet sanitary and hygienic standards at agricultural enterprises decreased from 35.7 to 30.4 %, which indicates a trend of improvement in the sanitary and hygienic situation.

“A informação nem sempre é a luz”
Authors: Machado de Souza Laís , Lopes de Souza Marcos
Published: July 2021

Esta pesquisa se debruça sobre as produções discursivas de professoras sobre sexualidade em sua interface com as questões de saúde, acionadas após contato com artefatos culturais, durante espaço de formação continuada sobre o tema. O estudo foi realizado com docentes que lecionam o componente curricular “Educação para a sexualidade” em uma escola municipal do interior da Bahia. O caminho escolhido para alcance do objetivo tem respaldo nas pesquisas pós-críticas; no saber da experiência; na problematização; na compreensão dos materiais educativos enquanto artefatos culturais e na operação com o discurso, tendo como base os estudos foucaultianos. Os principais discursos construídos pelas professoras foram sobre cultura visual na produção de sentidos; da problematização dos conteúdos dos artefatos; e da crítica ao destaque atribuído por eles à informação enquanto elemento primordial das estratégias preventivas na área de sexualidade.
Réflexions sur l’épizootiologie de la babésiose bovine européenne à Babesia divergens
Authors: Morel P. C.
Published: July 2021

Babesia divergens possède vraisemblablement un très grand nombre de souches antigéniquement différentes, dont l'échelle d'extension de chacune est fonction du degré de sédentarité du cheptel. Entre les unités locales d'élevage, tout déplacement d'animaux comporte un risque clinique de réinfection par souche hétérologue. La sensibilité des races bovines grandes laitières ou bouchères est élevée, ce qui explique la gravité des infections initiales ou des rechutes. L'importance numérique des populations d'Ixodes ricinus, parasites des bovins, ne doit pas être très élevée, en particulier, les indices d'infestations par les nymphes seraient très faibles, ainsi que les pourcentages d'infection de ces dernières par B. divergens ; ceci expliquerait les risques d’infection à tout âge. On est conduit à supposer finalement que la babésiose bovine dans les grandes régions d'élevage français présente une situation enzootique instable, où l’instauration d’une prémunition ne se réalise habituellement pas chez le veau.

This modification is similar to that obtained by the authors, in vitro, under different sets of experimental conditions.
Le bacille du rouget, Erysipelothrix Rhusiopathiae. Son rôle pathogène pour l’agneau
Authors: Nicolas J. A. , Pestre-Alexandre Madeleine , Chauchef Simone
Published: July 2021

Les auteurs rappellent le rôle pathogène du bacille du rouget chez de nombreuses espèces (porc, mouton, volailles, homme) et sa présence, comme commensal, chez d'autres (poissons, crustacés, insectes).

Des observations portant sur cinquante-neuf troupeaux montrent le polymorphisme des infections chez l'agneau et l’importance des pertes économiques qu'elles provoquent.

Les arthrites sont de loin les manifestations cliniques les plus fréquentes et nécessitent une vaccination annuelle des mères. Les septicémies, avec ou sans diarrhée, sont moins répandues, mais peuvent provoquer de 20 à 30 p. 100 de mortalité. Les avortements et les méningites sont plus rares mais témoignent de la polyvalence du pouvoir pathogène du bacille du rouget.
Théâtre latin : un récital vocal
Authors: Dangel Jacqueline
Published: July 2021

Quand on compare les textes comiques ou tragiques latins avec leurs modèles grecs, il est possible de montrer une différence de visée et de dramaturgie. Le théâtre grec classique insiste sur les faits éthiques, une répartition régulière et ordonnée de la parole, du chant et de la danse, de sorte qu’y prédomine d’une certaine façon une forme statique (= theatron). En revanche le théâtre latin républicain est particulièrement attentif aux péripéties émotionnelles, aux procédés spectaculaires et à une diction pathétique, si bien que l’action (= drama) y est essentielle. Plus précisément, je fais ressortir ces faits d’études stylistiques et métriques opérées entre des originaux grecs et leurs copies latines. Ainsi en va-t-il, pour la comédie, de Ménandre et Caecilius (Plocium) ou Plaute (Les Bacchides) ; pour la tragédie, de Sophocle (Les Trachiniennes) et Pacuvius (Niptra) ou Accius (Philoctète). La spécificité de la dramaturgie latine résulte aussi de deux ultimes comparaisons : entre le tragique Accius et l’orateur Cicéron qui traduisent tous deux un même passage de Sophocle ; entre l’italique Plaute et l’hellénisant Térence.
La place de Naevius dans les écrits philologiques de Varron
Authors: Lehmann Aude
Published: July 2021

Les fragments varroniens relatifs à la vie du poète Naevius sont très rares et très succincts. Pourtant leur confrontation avec les réalités historiques de l’époque qu’ils reflètent montrent l’exactitude ou tout au moins la vraisemblance des faits rapportés par Varron. Ainsi en va-t-il notamment de sa participation à la première guerre punique en qualité de citoyen romain ou encore de ses démêlés avec les Metelli. Il importe néanmoins de faire la part des événements historiques authentiques et des anecdotes caractéristiques de la biographie alexandrine.
Pourquoi le christianisme est-il si vite devenu romain ?
Authors: Trocmé Étienne
Published: July 2021

Why did Christianity so quickly become Roman ?

The roots and the beginnings of Christianity were entirely Jewish and Oriental. Three generations later, Christianity had become wholly integrated into Graeco-Roman civilisation. The only satisfactory way to account for this surprising evolution is to point to the activity of a few enterprising and clear-sighted minorities who carried along the whole group with them after a long, lonely swim upstream.
Jeux et chronologie à Rome
Authors: Freyburger Gérard
Published: July 2021

Censorinus donne dans le De die natali les dates de deux séries de jeux séculaires et signale qu’un saeculum pouvait être constitué de 100 années ou de 1 10 années ; par ailleurs, on peut encore faire l’hypothèse d’après Tite-Live de l’existence d’une troisième série de cérémonies séculaires, se succédant tous les 100 ans. L’objet de cet article est d’une part de déterminer les jeux et cérémonies séculaires historiquement attestés, puis de préciser les raisons de la variation du saeculum, enfin d’appuyer l’opinion de G. Wissowa, selon laquelle il y eut deux types de cérémonies séculaires, les unes devant clore le saeculum ancien, les autres devant ouvrir le nouveau.
Idéologie et chronologie : le cas de la conquête de la Transalpine
Authors: Roman Danièle , Roman Yves
Published: July 2021

La conquête romaine de la Transalpine rapidement conduite à partir de 125 avant J.-C. n’a, telle quelle, jamais existé sauf dans l’esprit des historiens de la fin du XIXe siècle et du début du XXe siècle. Non seulement les interventions militaires de cette époque furent précédées par des opérations diverses dans la première moitié du IIe siècle avant J.-C., en Provence comme en Languedoc, mais les Romains y perdirent quasiment pied plusieurs fois dans les décennies qui suivirent. La conquête de la Transalpine, de ce fait, se révèle comme une opération largement séculaire.
Les systèmes de datation dans l’Est de l’Afrique du Nord à la fin de l’Antiquité et à l’époque byzantine
Authors: Duval Noël
Published: July 2021

The chronological Systems in the Eastern part of North Africa in late Antiquity and in the Byzantine period

The author resumes, bringing it up to date, the enquiry submitted by him to the 3rd Congress of Epigraphy in 1957. Contrary to Mauretania, the Eastern part of North Africa had no chronological system of its own. Consequently it used consular dating, as the rest of Empire generally did — although very moderately, especially in the epitaphs — up to the arrival of Vandals, and next sporadically in that part of Numidia which was handed back to the Empire. As early as the capture of Carthage in 429, Vandals adopted the regnal year. Yet the latter was usually left anonymous under Genserie, or disguised by its being styled “Carthaginian era”, which secondarily remained under the next reigns. Following the Byzantine reconquest, Justinian in 537 imposed to the whole Empire dating by regnal year and indiction, although retaining consular date. It can be verified that under this reign the emperor is unevenly mentionned in regnal dates, which after him remain rare and are eventually superseded by indiction and mention of the ruling emperor, both on coins and epitaphs. As for consulate, it appears only once in an official deed, a very late one (636). Indiction is by far the most common system (several thousands epitaphs). There is no reason for thinking that in Africa it could have antedated the reconquest, which it also outlives in the few late dated christian inscriptions from XIth century Tripolitania and Kairouan.
Mainakè. Réflexion sur le sources
Authors: Jacob Pierre
Published: July 2021

Cet article s’efforce de remonter aux origines des thèses antiques plaçant sur la côte sud de l’Espagne une fondation phocéenne du nom de Mainakè. Il s’agit en fait d’un surnom donné par les navigateurs grecs à un établissement ou à une île de la Baie d’Algésiras. Parmi les sites possibles, celui qui offre le plus de garanties est celui d’Algésiras et de l’Isla Verde. Des découvertes archéologiques récentes commencent à donner du crédit à cette localisation.
Erysichthon le sacrilège

This is an introduction to the study of a hero whose testimonies are very rare, but that is widely song in a Callimachus’ hymn. His hybris brings him to attack a Demeter sacred wood and she wreaks vengeance upon him condemning him to an everlasting hunger. This brigs out the outline of an Angry-Mother quite different of those already studied.
Les idées politiques d’Héraclite d’Éphèse
Authors: Frère Jean
Published: July 2021

Heraclitos of Ephesos’s idea on politics have always been neglected. However, when bringing a certain number of fragments together, one can distinctly define is hierarchical conception of an ideal and lasting city.

1° A political leader single handely guided by moderation.

2° The philosopher, highly contemplating Unity.

3° Some aristoi constantly on a war footing and fighting.

4° Some didaskaloi (priests or poets) whose knowledge is extensive but more or less illusory.

5° Lastly, a numerous and working populace eager for riches and refractory to all paideia.
Roman Women in a corporate State ?
Authors: Levick Barbara
Published: July 2021

Selon l’article, les Romains ont conçu leur société comme un corps composé d’une série de collectivités indissolubles ; ce qui entraîne que les femmes ne puissent agir que comme intermédiaires soit à l’intérieur des groupes, soit hors d’eux. L’activité des femmes en groupes, même religieux, paraissait anormale, menaçante, voire ridicule. C’est à partir du Principat seulement, et en dépit de certains Principes, que des individualités féminines exceptionnelles ont pu essayer d’outrepasser les limites imposées.
Une femme sous influence : l’écho des discordes delphiques chez Hérodote
Authors: Jacquemin Anne
Published: July 2021

Les lecteurs d’Hérodote se sont surtout interrogés sur l’authenticité des oracles qu’il rapporte ou sur la façon dont la Pythie répondait. L’historien est pourtant une source importante sur l’histoire de Delphes à l’époque archaïque et sur les conflits qui l’ont déchirée. La cité n’a pas échappé à la stasis, mais la présence du sanctuaire oraculaire a donné à ses luttes politiques un caractère singulier : la maîtrise de l’oracle a en effet permis aux différents groupes de la classe dirigeante d’assurer leur domination en s’appuyant sur des puissances étrangères. La prêtresse a donc été influencée par des notables locaux, mais elle ne semble pas avoir jamais été achetée directement par l’étranger. Quand elle médisait, c’était en fait certains aristocrates delphiens qui étaient partisans des Perses.
Secours et vengeance : note sur τιμωρίη chez Hérodote
Authors: Demont Paul
Published: July 2021

Étudier le rôle de la vengeance chez Hérodote en partant du sens actuel du mot, caractérisé par des connotations affectives et lié à un état dit archaïque de la société, interdit de prendre en compte la polysémie observable chez l’historien entre les deux acceptions principales du mot timôriè et de sa famille, «secours» et «vengeance» et le lien qu’elles gardent avec le sens fondamental de «sauvegarde de la timè». L’utilité d’envisager dans leur cohérence tous les emplois de ces mots est suggérée ici à partir d’exemples empruntés à l’ensemble de l’oeuvre. On est alors plus sensible à la logique des comportements de «secours» et de «vengeance» : ils obéissent à une rationalité et à une éthique bien supérieures aux motivations impérialistes, qui relèvent du «désir» d’avoir plus.
La Lydie, Hérodote et Nicolas de Damas
Authors: Parmentier-Morin Édith
Published: July 2021

Disposant des mêmes sources qu’Hérodote, Nicolas de Damas s’est davantage intéressé aux luttes de clans entre Héraclides, Mermnades et Tylonides qui ont suscité le coup d’État de Gygès. Hérodote, quant à lui, ne se soucie que de la «préhistoire» de Crésus, qu’il hésite à présenter comme le descendant d’un usurpateur.
Remarques sur la Tragédie de Crésus
Authors: Laurot Bernard
Published: July 2021

Herodotus wanted deliberately to present Croesus as a tragic hero. He detected several tragedies set in the account of Croesus’ life. Some facts lead to this assertion : the distorsion between the preface and the following pages, the global structure of the narrative, the description of the character, the extension to the whole of mankind, and literary indications.

Le Bouclier d’Achille. Essai sur l’importance du livre de Jean Boivin
Authors: Pigeaud Jackie
Published: July 2021

Le livre de Boivin : «Apologie d’Homère et Bouclier d’Achille» a une importance historique évidente. Il a été commenté par Lessing. Il radicalise, de manière urgente, le débat de l’Ut pictura poesis. Du bouclier d’Homère à celui de Virgile la différence, comme dit déjà Servius, est grande. Homère montre les choses se faisant ; Virgile permet de les connaître face à l’ouvrage accompli. Mais il y a le regard d’Énée qui change tout ; qui change, en vérité, les choses en images. Ce sont deux façons qu’ont eues les deux poètes de tuer l'ecphrasis, danger mortel de la poésie.

L’influence des poètes dans les inscriptions funéraires latines païennes d’Italie
Authors: Siat Jeannine
Published: July 2021

Latin funeral inscriptions draw a considerable deal of inspiration from poets’ works.

They use rather few literal quotations, but are imbued with poetry. Word associations, similes and metaphors, belief in the Parcae and in Fate, the evocation of the beyond and of pain are all derived from poets. A main source of inspiration is Virgil.

The study of poetical traces in funeral inscriptions gives a clue to the cultural bakground of the literate classes in the early centuries of the Empire in Italy.

Published: July 2021

In 21 century the climate change has become an important issues for businesses as well as stockholders. Consequently, to reduce carbon emission financial institutions offer green financing to businesses to mitigate this issue. However, the availability of green loan remains the important case. Therefore this research aims to know how this financing gap can be minimized. A panel design dataset was collected which consists of green financing data for the period 2009 to 2015 from 24 banks operating in Pakistan. We applied Two-stage Least Square Regression Analysis for data analysis. The results revealed that green loans are a less risky investments. Further, the findings also provides useful information to managers who look for grow their business loan and minimize default risk. This study contributes to the existing literature in green financing by filling the gap, particularly for developing countries through empirical evidence. The finding suggests that banks must invest more in green projects.

Neuronutrition in the perspective of the prevention and treatment of depressive disorder / Neuronutrição na perspectiva da prevenção e tratamento da desordem depressiva
Authors: Guedes Maiana de Oliveira , Matias Amanda Gilvani Cordeiro
Published: July 2021

The father of medicine was a pioneer in suggesting the healing power of food nutrients, however it took a long time for science to recognize that food has functional properties and the ability to interfere with mood and brain health. Currently, neuroscience is showing research results, demonstrating the effectiveness of nutritional bioactive compounds with neuroprotective potential. Some metabolic changes are the basis of common neuropsychiatric diseases, such as depressive disorder, characterized by mood dysregulation, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disorders, appetite, fatigue and metabolic or inflammatory changes. Objective: to describe the potential of dietary and bioactive nutrients that interfere in the neurobiology of depressive disorder. Methodology: This is a systematic review, stratified in a time window of 2012-2021. As a search criterion for the articles, a guiding question was formulated: how does the relationship between food nutrition and its potential connections in the neurobiology of depression appear? DesCs-MESH indexes were pre-established in the English language: food nutrition, bioactive, neurobiology depressive disorders, in the vernacular: food nutrition, brain, bioactive, depressive disorder, allied to Boolean operators, to the StArt resource, to exclude duplicate manuscripts. Results: This short-review included 31 articles that met the criteria and demonstrated nutritional bioactivity involved in the neurobiological process of depressive disorder. Conclusion: the connection between diet and depression emerges with promising perspectives when demonstrating the potential of nutrients and bioactive with a neuroprotective effect. The clinical approach combined with the diet designed to produce antidepressant effects can work as an adjunct to the treatment and prevention of depressive symptoms.

Published: July 2021

Benign Prostat Hyperplasia (BPH) merupakan pembesaran dari kelenjar prostat jinak yang umum dialami oleh pria lanjut usia yang memiki populasi sekitar 8% pada dekade ke 4 dan mengalami peningkatan hingga 90% dalam dekade ke 9. Pasien yang mengalami gangguan kesehatan perlu dilakukan pemeriksaan dini untuk segera mendapatkan kepastian penyakit dan segera mendapatkan pengobatan. Proses pemeriksaan untuk menentukan sejauh mana gejala yang dialami penderita menggunakan metode International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Proses pemeriksaan tahap awal pasien masih dilakukan secara manual dengan melakukan tanya jawab antara dokter dengan pasien atau disebut dengan anamnesis. Anamnesis dilakukan untuk mendapatkan data tentang riwayat penyakit penderita yang pada umumnya dilakukan di rumah sakit atau puskesmas, hal tersebut berdampak kepada penderita yang merasa sensitif jika ditanyakan mengenai pertanyaan yang bersifat pribadi dan keterbatasan waktu dalam berfikir untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan, oleh karena itu perlu dibangun sebuah sistem untuk memberikan solusi dari permasalahan tersebut berupa Sistem Informasi E-Screening untuk menentukan Gejala Benign Prostate Hyperplasia berbasis mobile yang dapat digunakan untuk masyarakat dalam melakukan pemeriksaan untuk mengetahui informasi penyakit yang diderita dan tingkat keparahan. Sistem yang dikembangkan telah dilakukan evaluasi menggunakan tabel confusion matrix. Hasil perhitungan diperoleh nilai accuracy 100%, nilai precision 100% dan nilai recall 100%

Published: July 2021

Populasi sepeda motor di Indonesia semakin meningkat, BPS mencatat peningkatan tahun 2018 ke tahun 2019 mencapai 6.487.462 unit atau sebesar 5,4%.  Sepeda motor paling banyak diminati masyarakat terutama kalangan menengah ke bawah untuk memudahkan mobilisasi dalam kegiatan keseharian terutama bekerja. Seiring pesatnya pertumbuhan sepeda motor angka kriminal curanmor pun masih tergolong tinggi. Data curanmor tahun 2018 sebesar 27.731 kasus. Sepeda motor kerap menjadi objek curanmor sebab lebih mudah dari segi proses pencurian hingga penjualannya kepada penadah.  Selain itu sisi keamanan yang diberikan produsen sepeda motor masih tergolong rendah, tercatat hanya beberapa produsen yang menyematkan fitur alarm dalam produksinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan sistem pengaman anti maling dengan media validasi e-KTP, SIM Elektronik dan Smarphone Android pemilik kendaraan sehingga motor tidak dapat dihidupkan oleh calon pengemudi yang tidak terdaftar. Selain untuk menekan angka curanmor, sistem yang dibangun bermanfaat untuk mendisiplinkan pengendara untuk senantiasa membawa identitas diri dan dokumen wajib dalam berkendara. Sistem dibangun berbasiskan Mikrokontroller Arduino dan Android dengan metode Waterfall dan pengujian fungsionalitas terhadap RFID, Bluetooth dan daya tahan purwarupa. Hasil pembangunan purwarupa sistem dapat mendeteksi e-KTP dan SIM dengan jarak 1-2 cm dan motor dapat dihidupkan lewat Smartphone dengan jarak < 11 m serta dapat beroperasi sejauh 29 km.
Non-compliance among diabetic macular oedema patients on antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy in Malaysia
Authors: Wong Yew Meng , Chong Eve Lyn , Yeo Vanessa Yung Ling
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is a major cause of visual loss in the diabetic population. There are several treatment options for DMO, including intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections, which have been shown to improve visual outcomes. Good compliance to treatment regimens is associated with greater visual benefit.

Purpose: To estimate dropout rates and the associated reasons among DMO patients on three different anti-VEGF treatments.

Study design: A retrospective review of patients with DMO who were on bevacizumab, ranibizumab and aflibercept therapy from January 2014 to December 2016.

Materials and methods: Patients with DMO on anti-VEGF treatment in a private ophthalmology center were identified via an electronic database. Data on Malaysian residents aged 18 years or older were included. Foreign residents, the deceased, and those whose care had been transferred to another center were excluded from further analysis. Telephone interviews were then conducted with these patients based on a standard questionnaire to identify reasons for non-compliance.

Results: This study included 134 patients. The overall lost to follow-up rate was 56.0% (75/134). After excluding the deceased, those who opted for treatment at an alternative center, and uncontactable patients, 47 (35.1%) were then identified as drop-outs. Financial constraint was the most common reason cited by 38.3% patients (18/47) and was highest in the bevacizumab group (88.9%, 16/18). The second most common reason was lack of perceivable change in vision (25.5%). In addition, 19.1% opted to stop treatment due to logistical difficulties and 12.8% of patients were satisfied with their stable visual acuity. Lastly, 4.3% were unable to continue with treatment due to poor general health.

Conclusion: The dropout rate of 35.1% is higher than in previous publications from other countries. This study clarifies the challenges face by some Malaysian patients in seeking treatment for what is often a chronic disease. These results have implications on designing ways to assist patients’ cooperation with the standard of care.

Background: Isolated metastasis to the optic nerve (ON) and its sheath from breast cancer (BC) without involvement of other ocular structures is extremely rare. However, it is a pivotal diagnosis to rule out as it is a both sight- and life-threatening condition. We report a case of isolated ON sheath metastasis from BC presenting with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).

Case presentation: A 47-year-old woman with known metastatic BC presented with painless, progressive vision loss in the left eye. Visual acuity was hand movement with ipsilateral relative afferent pupillary defect. Fundal features suggested CRVO. Atypical rapid resolution of these features led to suspect ON metastasis. Magnetic resonance of the brain showed perineural enhancement of the optic nerves. Vision improved with radiotherapy.

Conclusion: Isolated ON sheath metastasis from BC is rare and may present with CRVO. High degree of suspicion is warranted in patients with metastatic disease and atypical findings.

Traumatic ocular injury is an uncommon yet leading cause of monocular blindness among the working-age group. Retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) are associated with 41% of open globe injuries. Pars plana vitrectomy is often required for posterior segment IOFB removal. Advances in vitreoretinal surgical techniques and instrumentation have resulted in better treatment outcomes with reduced ocular morbidity. We report a case of modified ILM forceps with perfluorocarbon liquid-assisted non-magnetic IOFB removal in a young man after a motor vehicle accident with zone one open globe injury and a large glass IOFB in the right eye. We describe the use of perfluoro-N-octane to slide the IOFB extramacularly and reorient the IOFB plane for stable and safe retrieval by ILM end-gripping forceps. The modified design of the ILM end-gripping forceps with adjunctive use of perfluorocarbon liquid in pars plana vitrectomy reduces slippage during IOFB extraction and prevents collateral iatrogenic retinal injury.

Random number generators are required for the operation of cryptographic information protection systems. For а correct application of the generator in the field of information security, it is necessary that its output sequence to be indistinguishable from a uniformly distributed random sequence. To verify this, it is necessary to test the generator output sequence using various statistical test suites such as Dihard and NIST. The purpose of this work is to test a prototype hardware random number generator. The generator is built on the basis of the ND103L noise diode and has a random digital sequence of binary numbers at the output. In the prototype there is a possibility of regulating the amount of reverse current through the noise diode, as well as setting the data acquisition period, i.e. data generation frequency. In the course of operation, a number of sequences of random numbers were removed from the generator at various values of the reverse current through the noise diode, the period of data acquisition and the ambient temperature. The resulting sequences were tested using the NIST statistical test suite. After analyzing the test results, it was concluded that the generator operates relatively stably in a certain range of initial parameters, while the deterioration in the quality of the generator's operation outside this range is associated with the technical characteristics of the noise diode. It was also concluded that the generator under study is applicable in certain applications and to improve the stability of its operation, it can be improved both in hardware and software. The results of this work can be useful to developers of hardware random number generators built according to a similar scheme.
Polarization diversity scheme for reach extension of WDM/TDM gigabit passive optical network up to 60 km using quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

Gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) are the most advanced technology. The data transfer rate is 2.5 Gbps for downstream and 1.25 Gbps for upstreams. But this network architecture has a limited physical network length of 20 km. This is due to the high budgetary losses of the network. This restriction of access makes the network difficult to access for subscribers located far from the facilities of the telecom operator, and coverage of remote settlements is quite costly (cost of design work, fiber, laying of fiber-optic cable), thereby complicating the elimination of the digital divide between the city, the suburbs and the countryside. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD-SOA), which will expand the GPON reach up to 60 km, which is the limit for the logical length under the current protocols. Quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers are promising devices for optical communication technology, but for commercial use they have one disadvantage. They are polarization sensitive. In this paper the authors constructed a polarization diversity scheme to avoid polarization sensitivity of QD-SOAs.

A brief description of information system for nuclear material accounting developed for the national regulator in the field of nuclear and radiation safety - the Department for Nuclear and Radiation Safety of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus (Gosatomnadzor) is given. The information system is a part of the Intellectual information system of a Gosatomnadzor employee to ensure control (supervision) in the field of nuclear and radiation safety. It is developed on the basis of free software. The system has been implemented in Gosatomnadzor and at present in the Republic of Belarus all nuclear material accounting with reporting to the IAEA is carried out with its help. The system, in full compliance with the IAEA requirements, provides automatic generation with all the necessary calculations based on the input data of the following reporting documents: physical inventory listing, inventory change report, material balance report, textual report, General Ledger. All reports are fully consistent each with other. An efficient mechanism has been developed for importing and exporting data from / to the system according to formats of fixed and labelled Code 10 required by the IAEA. All logs of the system describing reports contain a field “IAEA approved” (yes / no). If it set to “yes”, they are closed for editing and correction. A special tool has been developed for making adjustments to these documents in accordance with the IAEA rules. The system contains fully completed reference books (small journals referenced by all major journals in the database) with the necessary reference data in accordance with Code 10. The information system meets all the IAEA requirements for such systems of national regulators in the field of accounting, control and supervision of nuclear material. It can be easily translated into other languages and adapted for the needs of accounting and control of nuclear material in operating organizations.

La llegada de la pandemia Covid 19 a México implicó cambios drásticos, repentinos y acelerados en las practicas económicas, laborales, sociales y de salud, y la implementación de acciones de prevención y cuidados. La presencia del virus se dio de manera diferenciada y gradual en los múltiples espacios-tiempos-prácticas y actores donde las medidas eran: estar cuarentena, mantenerse en confinamiento, guardar la distancia mínima en los espacios públicos, evitar los contactos personales, uso de cubre bocas y gel antibacterial. El objetivo de este artículo es conocer y comprender las experiencias intersubjetivas, las actitudes y prácticas que las poblaciones campesinas e indígenas de Veracruz y Tabasco mantuvieron con la presencia del Covid 19, las dinámicas de interacción social, los cambios en su vida cotidiana y de cómo realizaron acciones diferenciadas a lo que se indicaba en los niveles gubernamentales en función de sus propios procesos socioculturales. Concluimos que las acciones de prevención no evitaron los contagios y muerte por Covid, y tomaron medidas de solidaridad y acompañamiento que los fortalecieron. Esta investigación se fundamenta en el trabajo de campo virtual y la exploración etnográfica tecnológica que se realizó durante 2020.
