Potential for Digital Monitoring to Enhance Wellbeing at Home for People with Mild Dementia and Their Family Carers
Authors: Fowler-Davis Sally , Barnett Deborah , Kelley John , Curtis David
Published: December 2019

Digital technologies have the potential to assist people with dementia to monitor day to day activities and mitigate the risks of living independently. This purposive pilot study surveyed participants for frailty, wellbeing, and perceived carer burden using the 3Rings™ digital plug. 30 paired participants used the digital device for four months. People with dementia reported a decline in wellbeing and increased frailty. Family carers reported a decline in wellbeing but 18 reported a reduction in burden. The use of digital monitoring by family carers demonstrated a reduction in their perceived burden and the device was acceptable to people with mild dementia living alone.

This paper proposes to compute the electrical behavior, including electromagnetic and electromechanical parameters, of a single-turn toroidal coil which is fed by a transient pseudo-harmonic current pulse at low or medium frequency. Solutions adapted to the specificity of the pulsed high magnetic fields technology are given, including original performance characteristics, independent on the current source, but still taking eddy currents and the skin effect into account. The finite element analysis is carried out progressively; first with time harmonics, then in the transient working condition, and finally by coupling the electromagnetic calculations to the equivalent electrical circuit of the coil. The aim of this study is to first evaluate the accuracy of a 2D axi-symmetrical numerical model by comparing it to 3D reference calculations. The reliability is valued according to measurements. The method then makes it possible to very quickly compute the main interesting coils characteristics, namely the equivalent resistance, inductance, maximum induction coefficient and finally the self and mutual force coefficients. These last new parameters are also defined in the present paper and provide important performance criteria. Finally, a sensitivity analysis will be performed to understand the impact of the main usual parameters (frequency, coil length, coil radius, airgap, electrical conductivity). The 2D model allows to save time and to build an approximate but reliable solution that might make either the transient calculation or the coupling with electrical, mechanical and thermal physics easier. After an introduction (part 2), part 3 gives the model geometry, physics and meshing. Magneto-harmonic calculations of fields and coils’ parameters and a complete sensitivity analysis are performed in part 4. Transient computations are carried out on a single-turn coil made of steel without a field-shaper and are compared to experimental results in parts 5. Finally, an innovative single-turn coil with a field-shaper, both made of a non-standard copper alloy (siclanic®), has been also calculated, tested and measured in part 6. To conclude, the 2D model provides the main interesting intrinsic coil’s characteristics and a fast sensitivity analysis as a function of several parameters, such as the pulse natural frequency. These parameters are needed to couple the electromagnetic process to an electrical circuit or a mechanical workpiece deformation. The present study can estimate if, in given conditions, the forming coil can ensure electromagnetic forces high enough either to initiate the process or to end it with an assembling static pressure.
Group stereotypes and symbols of overcoming difficult social situations in the image of small groups
Authors: Pletka Olha
Published: December 2019

Introduction. Sometimes a person meets with complex social situations. How a person lives these situations down? What is the experience that supports and drives a person to recovery? How does the group help for a person in this? These questions now arise for each of us, because there is no person in the world who would have had the experience of living in complex social situations

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to describe the results of the study of group stereotypes and the symbolism of complex social situations in small groups of different directions.

Methodology. The sample of empirical research is 132 individuals - 16 groups of different directions: therapeutic (2), educational (7) and crisis (5) (real groups that were in situations of conflict and crisis) and self-help groups (2). Self-help groups are a group of families of demobilized soldiers (heterogeneous) and a group of veterans.

The empirical study was conducted in 2 stages. In the first stage, the questionnaire “I am in the group” was prepared and tested. It consists of 21 questions and demographic data of the respondents (age, gender). In the second stage of the empirical study, the seminar “Difficult Social Situations: Experiences of Living and Overcoming” was conducted in the study groups, followed by a survey of respondents. The duration of the seminar is 3-4 hours, depending on the needs of the group

Results. The article presents the results of an empirical study of group stereotypes and symbols in the image of small groups in complex social situations. The research identified stereotypical perceptions of the group and overcoming difficult social situations, outlined by the author as external and intra-group stereotypes. External group stereotypes include the destructive, relatively destructive, conditionally constructive and constructive groups of stereotypes described by the respondents. The groups of stereotypes pertaining to external groups are described in detail: relatively destructive (Uniqueness, Closeness and Complexity) and conditionally constructive (Causality and Willingness). Intra-group stereotypes are indicated too. Also, the article highlights a number of group symbols and group processes highlighted by the respondents, describes the analysis of the results of the “Symbolization of experience” methodology. Typization of symbolization of complex social situations and ways of overcoming them is presented. The symbols of this process are determined by the respondents by those symbols that demonstrate the dynamics (or transformation) of the character itself, the dynamics of the plot development, and the abstract ones, which have internal, not obvious, outside logic. Examples of these characters are described.

Conclusion. The analysis of the results of the study showed that group stereotypes play a key role in predicting strategies for overcoming difficult social situations, and symbolizing this process helps to find support and help, both within and outside the group
Analysis of Methodological Approaches and Principles of Risk Assessment Based on the Formation of Integral Risk Index Ratings
Authors: Arkad'eva O. G. , Berezina N. V.
Published: December 2019

Objectives. The object of the research is the process of assessing the social development risks, which involves ranking the objects according to their degree of exposure to risk factors. As the subject of the study we designate the main weaknesses of the risk assessment methodology using risk index ratings in various fields based on a research of Russian and foreign scientific and practical experience. The purpose of the study is the formation of a set of theoretical principles that form the ground for improving the risk assessment methodology based on the construction of integrated risk index ratings.

Methods. The main research method was a comparative analysis of the research results of foreign and Russian scientists on risk assessment in general and the formation of integrated risk indices in particular.

Results. As a result of the study, the most significant weaknesses inherent in the risk assessment methodology were identified, and the failings of the use of risk index ratings for risk assessment from different angles were specified. Some identified failings are illustrated by the example of the UN World Risk Index calculation methodology. Recommendations to eliminate identified failings are formed, ordered in a logical sequence.

Conclusions. As a result of the study it was established that the formulation of goals and objectives of assessing the social development risks substantially determines the assessment methodology and affects its results. In the case when the use of integrated risk index ratings meets the goals and objectives of the assessment, the subject of the assessment should take into account a number of fundamental methodological provisions that can significantly affect the assessment results, their objectivity and the adequacy to the problem being solved.

The Digital Services Tax on the Verge of Implementation
Authors: Cui Wei
Published: December 2019

France enacted the digital services tax (DST) in 2019, and similar legislation is pending in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and other countries. The DST can be viewed as a tax on location-specific rent (LSR), and it arguably solves genuinely new problems in international taxation. The author briefly reviews this justification of the DST and further examines the DST design in light of three criticisms. The first criticism is that certain features of the DST render it similar to distortionary import tariffs. The second is that the DST would not be borne by digital platforms but would only be shifted to platform users. The third is that governments promoting the DST seem not to characterize it as a tax on LSR but, instead, have advocated reforming the income tax. The author suggests ways of rationalizing the DST's tariff-like features, refutes casual arguments about the DST's incidence, and offers a framework for understanding why small economies might advocate simultaneously for the DST and for the reformation of international income taxation.
Value Creation: A Constant Principle in a Changing World of International Taxation
Authors: Li Jinyan , Bao Nathan Jin , Li Huaning Christina
Published: December 2019

The authors consider the new nomenclature of value creation in terms of its meaning, theoretical basis, and importance in the context of the international taxation of business profits. The authors' central claim is that the principle of value creation is a profound elaboration of the doctrine of economic allegiance, which is the theoretical basis for the current international tax system; and that international tax norms, such as the arm's-length principle, are meant to give effect to the doctrine of economic allegiance (and now to the principle of value creation). As demonstrated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/Group of Twenty base erosion and profit shifting project, there is apparently global consensus that the value-creation principle should guide the development of new rules—not only the rules to protect countries' existing tax bases (for example, anti-avoidance rules) but also the rules to allocate new taxation rights in respect of income derived in a digital and intangible economy. The authors evaluate the most recent tax-reform proposals in the light of the value-creation principle, and they recommend a global profit-split rule as a way of accurately reflecting value creation.
Sikap Generasi Muda Batak dalam Upaya Pemertahanan Bahasa Batak: Kajian Sosiolinguistik
Authors: Warisman Sinaga
Published: December 2019

Masyarakat Batak Toba telah terbiasa menggunakan bahasa Indonesia, apalagi yang hidup di perkotaan. Pada umumnya mereka mampu berbahasa Indonesia karena  bilingual, yakni mampu menggunakan dua bahasa. Bahkan intensitas pemakaian bahasa Indonesia lebih tinggi dibanding bahasa Batak. Hal ini akan menimbulkan masalah dalam pemertahanan bahasa. Sikap generasi muda sangat menentukan akan keberlangsungan bahasa daerah ini. Bahasa daerah akan punah apabila penutur bahasa daerah itu habis. Agar tidak terjadi kepunahan bahasa daerah, maka diharapkan bahasa tersebut senantiasa digunakan mulai dari lingkungan keluarga, tempat tinggal, dan lingkungan bekerja. Teori yang digunakan untuk menguraikan masalah ini adalah teori sosiolinguistik, dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Berdasarkan pembahasan diketahui bahwa generasi muda Batak merasa bangga mampu menggunakan bahasa Batak (97,5%). Generasi muda Batak juga menyadari bahwa penguasaan bahasa Batak sangatlah penting (95%). Kurangnya kemampuan generasi muda berbahasa Batak disebabkan orang tuanya mengajari mereka di rumah cenderung dengan menggunakan bahasa Indonesia (50%).

 

The Toba Batak people are accustomed to using Indonesian, especially those living in urban areas. In general, they are able to speak Indonesian because they are bilingual, which is able to use two languages. Even the intensity of the use of Indonesian is higher than the Batak language. This will cause problems in language maintenance. The attitude of the young generation is crucial for the sustainability of this regional language. Regional languages ​​will become extinct if the speakers of the regional languages ​​are exhausted. In order to avoid the extinction of regional languages, it is expected that the language will always be used starting from the family environment, residence, and work environment. The theory used to describe this problem is the sociolinguistic theory, using quantitative descriptive analysis methods. Based on the discussion it is known that the younger generation of Bataks feel proud to be able to use Batak language (97.5%). The younger generation of Bataks also realize that mastery of the Batak language is very important (95%). The lack of ability of the younger generation in the Batak language is due to their parents teaching them at home and tends to use Indonesian (50%).

Nikah adalah salah satu asas pokok hidup, terutama dalam pergaulan atau bermasyarakat yang sempurna. Bukan saja perkawinan itu satu jalan yang amat mulia untuk mengatur kehidupan berumah tangga dan berketurunan, akan tetapi perkawinan itu dapat dipandang sebagai satu jalan menuju perkenalan antara satu kaum (keluarga) dengan yang lainnya. namun, keberadaan LGBT disatu sisi telah menodai nilai-nilai sebuah pernikahan, dimana secara regulasi di Indonesia telah diatur dalam UU No. 1 Tahun 1974 dan KHI yang menolak LGBT. Selain itu, khusus Aceh yang berlandaskan syariat Islam juga menolak LGBT dengan diakomodirnya beberapa jenis tindak pidana Islam dalam Qanun No. 6 Tahun 2014.

Presented studies are related to the spheres of aviation and machine-building. Anti-wear properties of conventional jet fuel, fatty acids ethyl esters bio-additives derived from camelina oil and their blends were investigated experimentally. It was found that lubricity of bio-additive is significantly higher comparing to conventional oil-derived jet fuel. It was found that addition of bio-additive into the composition of jet fuel leads to strengthening of boundary film, decreasing of friction coefficient and improvement of anti-wear properties of fuel blends. The mechanism of fatty acids esters influence on improvement of anti-wear properties of jet fuel was substantiated. It was shown that camelina oil fatty acids esters positively influence on lubricating ability of oil-derived jet fuels and may be used in order to improve anti-wear properties of conventional jet fuels.

THE PROCESSING OF INDUSTRIAL OILS FOR ALTERNATIVE BIOPRODUCTS LUBRICANTS : METHODS AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS
Authors: Kirichenko V.I. , Kirichenko V.V. , Nezdorovin V.P.
Published: December 2019

The innovative way of increasing the efficiency of traditional methods for processing the optimized compositions of rape or soy-gm oils with the addition of ratsin oil (the so-called compols ) by the methods of glycolysis and esterolysis is considered. These compositions are processed into alternative biocomponents of the branch of lubricating materials, in particular into biooils. It has been shown that the earlier developed methods of glycolysis — esterolysis of compols is characterized by low indicators, in particular selectiveness in relation to biooils, their output and quality. It is suggested to realize these methods as consisting of two stages with their first common stage — alcoholysis of compols by glycerine (glycerolysis-2) and the following stage which involves glycolysis or esterolysis of the intermediate product of glycerolysis. Due to the application of such technique, a drastic increase of selectiveness methods is achieved. It is demonstrated that in their functional properties and tribological characteristics new biooils are on a par with the best traditional base oils, in particular such very expensive and ecologically dangerous ester-type synthetic oils.

Published: December 2019

The textile industry is more and more concerned about the necessity of using new and more respectful processes, developing new products or systems to carry out different treatments. Finishing treatments in the textile industry are considered as not too safe regarding environmental issues. These processes use large amounts of water that generate a significant volume of wastewater and chemical products that cause harmful effects on human health. For these reasons, companies increased costs in terms of wastewater treatments and using new products respectful of the environment. This research aims to verify the effectiveness of the new system Ecofinish, which has been developed by Care Applications S.L.U., used to treat denim fabric. To carry out the study, we compare the conventional bath process and the new Ecofinish system in order to do corrosion finishing. The color values of the samples were evaluated in terms of CIELAB values using a UV-visible spectrophotometer to determine the quality differences in the final product. The tensile strength, according to UNE EN ISO 13934-1 standard have been tested as well. This study confirms that this system achieves water savings and reduces the wastewater produced, getting a proper corrosion treatment. This process can be considered as an alternative to the conventional one.
Self-sustainable early warning system in river currents

Published: December 2019

Half of the natural disasters are due to floods of all kinds, leaving thousands dead and injured, as well as costly material damages. An early warning system (EWS) is a vital tool to reduce disaster risk but requires components that allow rapid communication and effective response of people at risk. Contribution of advanced technology has been fundamental in the prevention of catastrophes, but unfortunately, its high cost, among other factors, does not allow its coverage to reach developing countries or to communities in areas of higher vulnerability. This was evident in Colombia, where EWS exists for large-scale phenomena, but where river floods in poor municipalities meant the country's greatest tragedies in recent years. Hence the importance of designing the self-sustaining early warning system in river currents, since it combines state-of-the-art but low-cost technological elements, allowing it to operate autonomously from alternative energy sources, continuously and accurately measure the current fluvial level, and send real-time alert signals via high-speed and efficient wireless communication protocols. Construction of a prototype of the system made it possible to test and verify the functionality and efficiency of the monitoring stations, both in accuracy and speed in measures of increasing water levels, as well as in the rapid communication of alerts to an end-user, through cell phone text messaging.

Las instituciones educativas como espacios de formación integral tienen en su misión, articular la creación y aplicación de soluciones medioambientales para aportar positivamente al control de la contaminación ambiental y la mitigación del cambio climático. Vinculación de conceptos como desarrollo sostenible, variabilidad climática, utilización de energías limpias son introducidos dentro de los programas académicos y facultades de las diferentes universidades, además de planes de gestión integral y estrategias medioambientales, son estrategias territoriales para aportar significativamente a los acuerdos establecidos en las cumbres internacionales del medio ambiente.

Las UTS como referente regional de calidad, bienestar y desarrollo, tiene una especial posición social para incentivar en las comunidades prácticas y procesos que ayuden a atenuar el efecto de calentamiento global.  Para hacer más efectiva esta referencia, la institución debe desde su propia dinámica de vida institucional, evidenciar trasformaciones que apunten a minimizar los daños nacientes, y desde ese ejemplo, servir de multiplicador de información y acciones, para que la comunidad de influencia UTS, popularice prácticas que ayuden a controlar la dinámica actual de cambio climático.

La propuesta de programas institucionales de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático en las Unidades Tecnológicas de Santander se desarrolló por medio de ejes temáticos que hacen referencia a los aspectos generales que se buscan impulsar con la implementación del plan.  Se propone a las UTS, la implementación de cinco programas, y con cada uno de ellos acciones y metas a alcanzar, que evidencien a futuro, una respuesta proactiva institucionalmente por los procesos de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático en la ciudad, región y país.
Fakirlerin Allah'ı, Zenginlerin Tanrısı: Orhan Pamuk Romanlarında Din ve Maneviyat Meselesi
Authors: CENGİZ Kurtuluş , GÜREL Özgür Emrah
Published: December 2019

Orhan Pamuk romanlarının temel aksı olan Doğu-Batı meselesinin en önemli boyutlarından birini din oluşturmasına rağmen Pamuk'un eserlerini din meselesi etrafında analiz eden çalışmalar çok kısıtlı. Çalışmamız, Pamuk'un eserleri ile ilgili olarak pek tartışılmamış olan bu konuyu; Pamuk romanlarında din ve maneviyat meselesinin nasıl incelendiğini ve ne şekilde sorunsallaştırıldığını romanların yazılış sırasıyla teker teker analiz ederek literatüre katkıda bulunmaya hedefliyor. Pamuk, eserlerinin istisnasız hepsinde Türk modernleşme deneyiminin farklı tarihsel yönlerini incelerken, bireyin otonomisine engel oluşturabilecek hem pozitivist hem de dogmatik-dinsel tutumları eleştirel bir süzgeçten geçirmeye çalışıyor. Çalışmamız Pamuk'un katı seküler yaklaşımlara karşı dine ve maneviyata eleştirel de olsa bir alan açan, onu illa ki kötülemeyen, bir tür meşru hayat formu olarak kabul eden ama aynı zamanda onun sınırlarını ve marazlarını da dile getiren bir çerçevede yaklaştığını iddia edecektir. Pamuk'un belirli bir eleştirel sempatiyle betimlediği roman karakterlerinin bu bitmez tükenmez maneviyat arayışları, yukarıda bahsettiğimiz bu katı ikilikleri aşmak için geliştirdiği postmodern bir alternatif edebi tahayyül oluşturuyor. Nihayetinde Pamuk romanlarında ne modern bireyden vazgeçiyor, ne de ruhunu yitirmiş bir ethos'da kendi sahih varoluşunu hikâye edemeyen bir toplum anlayışını savunuyor. Bu yazı kendi tarihselliği içinde yeni evrensel yapıları ve bunlar içinde hareket edebilecek dogmatik olmayan mana arayışlarını Pamuk romanlarında ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: December 2019

Katalan polisiye roman yazarı Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, İspanya'nın transición olarak bilinen demokrasi rejimine geçiş sürecinde polisiye roman türünün önünü açan en önemli yazarlardandır. Montalbán'ın 1972-2004 yılları arasında yazdığı Pepe Carvalho adlı dedektif serisi “whodunit” türündeki klasik polisiye çizgisinden ayrılan romanlardan oluşmasının yanında, Franco sonrası dönemde İspanya'nın geçirdiği toplumsal değişime ışık tutmaktadır. Merkez Komitesinde Cinayet (1981) ise, bu serinin romanlarından biri olarak Montalbán'ın kurguyla gerçeği bir araya getirdiği ve Pepe Carvalho adlı dedektif aracılığıyla İspanya'daki toplum düzenini eleştirdiği bir eserdir. Bu eser aracılığıyla Montalbán'ın, polisiye roman türünü gerçekçi bir yaklaşım ile nasıl yorumladığının bir örneği görülmektedir.

Конcтановано, що у науковій переодиці представлені чинники, що обумовлюють генезу наркотичної залежноcті; індивідуально – типологічні оcобливоcті наркозалежних; визначено риcи оcобиcтоcті наркозалежного, перелічено підходи до причин формування пcихічної, зокрема наркотичної залежноcті. Зазначено що існує обмежений психодиагностичний інструментарій, що дозволяє визначити ризик наркотизації у підлітків. Мета дослідження - емпірично дослідити вираженість чинників ризику, що приводять до наркотичної залежності у підлітків за допомогою експрес-діагностики. Методи дослідження: теоретичний аналіз наукових першоджерел, психодіагностичний метод, що включав експресс-методику раннього виявлення схильності до наркоманії ("Кассандра"), проективні методики "Мій життєвий шлях" і "Графічний тест Коттла", методи математичної статистики. Результати. В пілотажному дослідженні виділена група ризику або група уваги, до якої увійшли підлітки з середньо-високим і високим рівнем за шкалами «Особистісні передумови», «Психосоціальні передумови» та «Ставлення до наркотиків». Показано, що ці підлітки допускають можливість епізодичного споживання наркотичних засобів, вони часто стикаються з фактами вживання в соціальному оточенні, деякі констатують наявність проблем у взаємовідносинах в сім'ї. За шкалою «Біогенетичні передумови» у більшості досліджуваних не встановлено обтяжуючого анамнезу. За шкалою "Ризик нервово - психічного зриву" у підлітків групи ризику встановлено середній рівень задоволеності собою та життєвою ситуацією, що в несприятливих умовах може статі причиною неадекватного емоційного реагування. У більшості зафіксовано песимістичне реагування на емоційно - значущі події. У підлітків групи ризику представлений частковий образ подій у впорядкованій поcлідовноcті від минулого до майбутнього з ознаками нереаліcтичного/ілюзорного оптиміcтичного погляду на майбутнє життя та представлена зв’язаність часових зон («без минулого немає майбутнього»). Заключення. Аналіз результатів продемонстрував наявність у підлітків групи ризику часткового позитивного образу життєвого шляху і зв’язаність часових перспектив, на фоне високого рівня за шкалами «Особистісні передумови», «Психосоціальні передумови» та «Ставлення до наркотиків», що свідчить про усвідомлену готовність до вживання наркотичних речовин.

У результаті кластеризації даних за психодіагностичними методиками, які вимірюють інтелект, креативність та мотивацію, а також враховуючи середній семестровий бал, що відображає загальну та парціальну успішність, окремо по вибірці академічно успішних та академічно неуспішних було отримано відповідно п’ять та три типологічних профілі. Було встановлено кластерні профілі академічних здібностей школярів основної школи з високою успішністю у навчанні: кластер 1 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані, креативні, внутрішньо вмотивовані академічно успішні школярі», кластер 2 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані, креативні, невмотивовані академічно успішні школярі», кластер 3 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані, зовнішньо вмотивовані академічно успішні школярі», кластер 4 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані, внутрішньо вмотивовані академічно успішні школярі», кластер 5 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані, креативні, зовнішньо вмотивовані академічно успішні школярі». Кластерні профілі академічних здібностей школярів основної школи з низькою успішністю у навчанні: кластер 1 – «Інтелектуально обдаровані немотивовані академічно неуспішні школярі», кластер 2 – «Недостатньо інтелектуально здібні, немотивовані академічно неуспішні школярі», кластер 3 – «Недостатньо інтелектуально здібні, внутрішньо вмотивовані академічно неуспішні школярі». У статті також розглядаються результати порівняння показників соціального інтелекту учнів в залежності від профілю академічних здібностей. Було встановлено, що при певному профілі академічних здібностей учні погано орієнтуються в загальноприйнятих нормах і правилах поведінки, а іншим школярам властиві здатності повно і точно описувати особистість незнайомої людини за фотографіями, розшифровувати невербальні повідомлення. Встановлено, що успішні у навчанні школярі, у типологічних профілях яких виражена внутрішня мотивація до навчання, здатні передбачати подальші вчинки людей на основі аналізу реальних ситуацій спілкування, передбачати події, грунтуючись на розумінні почуттів, думок, намірів учасників комунікації.
У статті доведено, що рівень загального інтелекту та академічних здібностей загалом відповідає рівню соціального інтелекту у старшому підлітковому віці. Домінування внутрішньої мотивації у структурі типологічних профілів академічно успішних школярів позитивно позначається на соціальному інтелекті. Зниження академічних здібностей за усіма параметрами негативно позначається на соціальному інтелекті.

Published: December 2019

У роботі представлені результати теоретичного та емпіричного дослідження проблеми соціально-психологічної специфіки формування музичної культури випускників коледжу мистецтв засобами українського фольклору. Зазначено, що пріоритетом діяльності культурно-мистецьких і педагогічних освітніх закладів була і залишається підготовка фахівців, які глибоко знають свій предмет, мають досконало розвинену професійну компетентність, чуття патріотизму, професійну ерудицію, високу загальну і музичну культуру. Також, вказано, що відродження та розвиток національних традицій у культурі, мистецтві та освіті є одним із пріоритетних напрямків державної політики
Зазначено, що одним із найпотужніших засобів національного виховання є мистецтво. Воно виступає однією з найдосконаліших форм освоєння світу у всій повноті його екзистенційної, творчої універсальності.
Мета статті полягає у теоретико-методологічному аналізі та емпіричному вивченні проблеми соціально-психологічної специфіки формування музичної культури випускників коледжу мистецтв засобами українського фольклору.
Для досягнення поставленої мети використано комплекс методів дослідження: аналіз, синтез, порівняння сучасних наукових теоретичних й емпіричних досліджень з проблеми соціально-психологічної специфіки формування музичної культури випускників коледжу мистецтв засобами українського фольклору та такий метод опитування, як анкетування, а також їх узагальнення й систематизація.
Визначено, що саме у площині соціально-психологічних проявів особистості людини мають здійснюватись наукові пошуки і дослідження з теми соціально-психологічної специфіки формування музичної культури випускників коледжу мистецтв засобами українського фольклору.
Авторами зазначено, що специфіка морально-естетичного впливу народної музичної творчості полягає в тому, що вона, викликаючи відповідні переживання, динамічно насичені образи й асоціації, відгострює розум, стимулює розвиток емоційної сфери, формує систему ціннісних та екзистенційних орієнтацій.
Представлено аналіз результатів анкетування «Виявлення рівня інтересу випускників коледжу мистецтв до української народної музичної творчості».
Встановлено, що соціально-психологічна специфіка професійної підготовки майбутнього митця, зокрема формування музичної культури засобами українського фольклору, є багатогранним, цілеспрямованим процесом і забезпечується єдністю багатьох компонентів (морально-естетичний, емоційно-мотиваційний, когнітивний, процесуально-операційний).

We report the final 2-year end-of-study results from the first clinical trial investigating combination treatment with ruxolitinib and low-dose pegylated interferon-α2 (PEG-IFNα2). The study included 32 patients with polycythemia vera and 18 with primary or secondary myelofibrosis; 46 patients were previously intolerant of or refractory to PEGIFNα2. The primary outcome was efficacy, based on hematologic parameters, quality of life measurements, and JAK2 V617F allele burden. We used the 2013 European LeukemiaNet and International Working Group- Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment response criteria, including response in symptoms, splenomegaly, peripheral blood counts, and bone marrow. Of 32 patients with polycythemia vera, ten (31%) achieved a remission which was a complete remission in three (9%) cases. Of 18 patients with myelofibrosis, eight (44%) achieved a remission; five (28%) were complete remissions. The cumulative incidence of peripheral blood count remission was 0.85 and 0.75 for patients with polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis, respectively. The Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form total symptom score decreased from 22 [95% confidence interval (95% CI):, 16-29] at baseline to 15 (95% CI: 10-22) after 2 years. The median JAK2 V617F allele burden decreased from 47% (95% CI: 33-61%) to 12% (95% CI: 6-22%), and 41% of patients achieved a molecular response. The drop-out rate was 6% among patients with polycythemia vera and 32% among those with myelofibrosis. Of 36 patients previously intolerant of PEG-IFNα2, 31 (86%) completed the study, and 24 (67%) of these received PEG-IFNα2 throughout the study. In conclusion, combination treatment improved cell counts, reduced bone marrow cellularity and fibrosis, decreased JAK2 V617F burden, and reduced symptom burden with acceptable toxicity in several patients with polycythemia vera or myelofibrosis. #EudraCT2013-003295-12.

Published: December 2019

A survey was conducted to highlight the weed flora infesting rapeseed in the experimental field of Rajshahi University. Frequency (F), density (D), abundance (A), relative frequency (RF), relative density (RD), relative abundance (RA) and importance value index (IVI %) of weeds were calculated in rapeseed field. The objective of the study was to study the weeds and their quantitative characters. Weed infestation was studied in three rapeseed varieties (BARI Sharisha 14, BINA Sharisha 5 and 6). The weed population was studied using quadrat. The species which had 100% frequency values were Cyperus rotundus, Cynodon dactylon, Ammania baccifera, Echinochloa crusgalli and Leucas lavendulifolia. Other species had 50% or less than 50% frequency values. The highest frequency, density, abundance and importance value index were exhibited by Cyperus rotundus.

Published: December 2019

Rhizobium species are involved in symbiotic relationship which can be exploited in agriculture to enhance crop and pasture growth without the addition of nitrogen fertilizers. However, a number of environmental factors are known to affect the symbiotic efficiency of Rhizobium. This current study evaluated tolerance of Rhizobium species isolated from root nodules of cowpea obtained from Akure, Nigeria to variation in temperature, pH levels, salt concentrations, heavy metals as well as antibiotics. Three Rhizobium species were isolated from root nodules of Vignaunguiculata and Phaseolus vulgaris after 34 days of planting yeast extract mannitol agar (YEMA). Their tolerance to environmental factors such as temperature, pH, sodium chloride, heavy metals as well as antibiotics was determined. All the isolates grew very well at 28oC, moderately at 37oC but their growth was hampered at 50o C. Maximal growth was observed at neutral pH. However, Sinorhizobium sp showed high tolerance to pH 7.0. Also, the isolates showed high tolerance to low concentration of sodium chloride (0.1%) and heavy metals with reduction in their optical density at higher concentrations. Rhizobium sp showed high level of tolerance at 4% compared to Mesorhizobium sp. and Sinorhizobium sp. Rhizobium spp. showed resistance to all the antibiotics investigated while Mesorhizobium sp. was sensitive to only to pefloxacin and sparfloxacin, while Sinorhizobium sp. was only sensitive to pefloxacin. The isolates in this study can be assessed for their suitability as inoculants forcowpea in soils below temperature 50oC and at neutral pH.

Authors: Yeasmin K , Bari L , Islam KMS , Yeasmin T
Published: December 2019

In the developing countries, stunting has been the most tenacious public health problem and is the major cause of child mortality and global disease burden, where 80% of this burden is found in developing countries and would result in 22% loss of adult income. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence and determinant factors associated with stunting among pre-school children in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh. A multi-stage cross sectional study was performed during the period March 2017 to September 2017. One thousand and nine (1009) pre-school children (36≤ Age ≤71 months) were considered as our study population. Data were collected by using a pretested and semi-structured questionnaire, which consisted of socio-economic characteristics, dietary and feeding pattern related information. Stunting of a child was determined using the WHO Multicenter Growth Reference Standard. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions were carried out to identify determinants of stunting. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval was calculated to assess the strength of the association, and p-value of <0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Boys (52%) with mean age 53.56 ± 10.405 months and girls (48%) with mean age 51.67 ± 10.934 months were participated. The prevalence of stunting among the preschool children in Rajshahi City was 39.7% (5.4% severe, 24.9% moderate and 9.4% mild stunted). The odds of being stunted were illiterate mother, lower food purchasing capabilities, poor dietary diversity score (95% CI: 1.640-3.052; p<0.001), experiencing pre-lacteal (95% CI: 1.616-2.789; p <0.001), prevalence of disease frequency (95% CI: 1.62-3.56; p<0.01), poor socio-economic class (95% CI: 2.83- 9.51; p<0.01).

Memoirs of P. Bilon on the revolutionary events of 1918-1919. In Ukraine
Authors: Parkhomenko Vladislav
Published: December 2019

The article, based on the memoirs of P. Bilon, highlights the process of formation and development of the armed forces of the UPR (Ukrainian People's Republic) Directory (1918-1919). Such phenomena as “atamanism”, the unification of the Galician army and the UPR army, and the creation of Ukrainian military aviation are considered. The importance of studying memoirs as a unique source on the history of the Ukrainian revolution is noted.
Military memoirs in fact often is the only source for the history of certain military units, conducting combat operations and their direct participants.
Considered is the degree of understanding in the memoirs transformational processes of the Ukrainian revolution under the influence of domestic- and foreign-policy situation during of 1918-1919.
Lighting of the period of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921 through the prism of memoir literature, comparing it with data from other information sources, and most importantly with official historical doctrine of both the Soviet and modern periods, not only provide a qualitative highlight the main aspects of the research, but also to reveal the "moral feature" of the era. Namely, the mood of specific individuals who have
left us memoirs. Thanks to them you can see the many facets of the mentality of that society, which fell into the whirlpool of tumultuous political events.
It is noted that the active involvement of the memoir heritage will contribute to a maximum of an objective picture of historical events, to intensify the study of processes in early XX century by representatives of academic historical scholarship.
