Using Skills, Not Pills
Authors: Bologna Matt
Published: June 2022

Mental health illiteracy in primary care is a growing concern for policymakers. Given the generalist nature of the primary health care practice, these physicians may lack the specialized knowledge and the time to identify and treat mental illnesses appropriately. Mental health literacy interventions are either contact-based, intensive social-contact-based, or skills-based. Although contact-based and intensive social-contact interventions have shown positive improvements in reducing stigma in the short-term, their efficacy for clinical behavioural change is questionable. This paper argues that skills-based interventions are more appropriate mental health literacy interventions for health care settings, using three Canadian case studies to highlight their potential to foster positive improvements to physician confidence and competence when treating mental illness. These interventions require more research with larger sample sizes to determine their efficacies for wide-scale implementation across jurisdictional boundaries and health specializations.
Illuminating Sustainable Investment at Canadian Foundations
Authors: DePape Brigette
Published: June 2022

Foundations play an important role in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. As mission-driven organizations, foundations can be leaders in social finance given their focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact. At best, the majority of foundation assets could be fully activated to achieve peak impact, and at worst, they could be negating the foundation’s beneficial impacts. This paper argues that annual reporting on ESG and an increase in the percentage of investments toward a greener economy will assist Canadian foundations in becoming more climate friendly. I employ semi-structured interviews with senior staff and board members at Canadian foundations that are leaders in ESG and impact investing and use institutional and stakeholder theory to explain the driving forces behind increased ESG investing at foundations.
Functions of aphoristic units in the Russian language
Authors: Ivanov Eugene E.
Published: June 2022

In modern Russian studies, much attention has been paid to the study of proverbs and catch phrases as the main varieties of language aphorisms (aphoristic units). In this regard, it is relevant to determine their own linguistic characteristics, including functional ones. The aim of the study is to establish and describe the obligatory and optional functions of proverbs and catch phrases as aphoristic units, to establish unique functions of language aphorisms in speech and text. The material of the study includes the most popular proverbs and catch phrases among the units of the paremiological minimum and the basic paremiology used in written speech. The main method in the research is the descriptive method based on functional modelling of language units with the help of contextual and stylistic analysis. It was found that all the basic functions of the language (basic and derivatives) are inherent in proverbs and catch phrases as aphoristic units. The obligatory functions of language aphorisms are communicative, cognitive, nominative and cumulative ones; the optional functions are emotive, metalinguistic, phatic, voluntative, empirical, axiological, referential, aesthetic, and ritual ones; the unique functions are universalizing and style-forming ones. The unique functions of aphoristic units determine each other, are completely and diversely used in fiction, journalistic and scientific-philosophical texts.
PRESERVING WOET IE BU PEUDAH TRADITION AS A CULTURAL HERITAGE: A CASE STUDY IN GAMPONG LIMPOK, DARUSSALAM DISTRICT, ACEH BESAR REGENCY
Authors: Fahrika Fira , Ismail Sanusi , Abubakar Bustami
Published: June 2022

This study aims to examine the making process, social meaning, and function of Ie Bu Peudah and its conservations. The method used in this study is a qualitative method in which the researcher himself is the key instrument. Data collection techniques is conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results obtained from this study concludes that the Woet Ie Bu Peudah tradition has existed since the days of the Aceh Darussalam sultanate and still survives to the present day. The process of making this traditional food is complex, starting from collecting and drying the ingredients to being ground to mash. Meanwhile, Ie Bu Peuda's cooking process takes approximately two hours. The meaning of this tradition among the people of Gampong Limpok, among others, is as a liaison for friendship and also serves as the main menu for breaking the fast. While the efforts made to preserve it include the Gampong Limpok administrations allocating particular funds for this tradition that comes from the APBG, but several things that become obstacles to the continuity of this tradition include, the ingredients for making it that are starting to be difficult to find and its presence only at special moments. certain only

Authors: Eriksen Tobias Bøgeskov , Lindholst Andrej Christian , Knudsen Søren Valgreen
Published: June 2022

I denne artikel komplementerer vi tidligere forskning og undersøger, hvordan folkeskoleelver i 8. og 9. klasser opfatter de nationale test, samt hvordan opfattelsen hænger sammen med faglighed, (mis)trivsel og køn. Undersøgelsen bygger på en spørgeskemaundersøgelse og fokusgruppeinterviews gennemført i 2019 med elever i Aalborg Kommunie. Vi finder, at store elevgrupper har en overvejemde negativ opfattelse af de nationale test, og at elevernes humør påvirkes negativt før og efter en test. Samtidig finder vi signifikante sammenhænge mellem en mere negativ opfattelse af de national test og henholdsvis en svagere faglighed, større mistrivsel og køn (piger i forhold til drenge). Sammenhængene indikerer, at det tilsyneladende er hos elevgrupper, hvor behovet for faglig understøtteæse er størst, at holdningen til de nationale test er mest negativ. Samlet set påpeger vi relevansen af at inddrage bredere perspektiver på effekterne af de nationale test, sætter spørgs,ålstegn ved værdien af de nationale test som læringsredskab og underbygger behovet for yderligere undersøgelser af, hvordan de nationale test påvirker eleverne - personligt, socialt, såvel som fagligt.

Authors: Kamal Yasser , Al-Elwany Shady E. , ELsayed Mostafa M.
Published: June 2022

Background: Hemostatic disturbances with coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) can predispose to tricuspid and right heart thrombi in
very rare instances. Aim: We describe a 29-year-old female
patient without previous cause of thrombosis who developed large
tricuspid valve thrombus (TVT) and moderate-to-severe tricuspid
regurgitation (TR) during the course of COVID-19 infection.
Materials and methods: Persistant fever and tachycardia with
thrombocytopenia and high D-dimer increased the index of suspicion. The
diagnosis was made by bedside transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and
cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Surgery was performed for thrombectomy
and tricuspid valve replacement with a tissue valve. Discussion
and conclusion: Detection of TVT in COVID-19 patients on the basis of
high index of suspicion, bedside TTE and non-invasive CMR helps early
surgical treatment and subsequent reduction of mortality and hospital
stay.
The impact of sequencing depth and relatedness of the reference genome in population genomic studies: a case study with two caddisfly species (Trichoptera, Rhyacophilidae, Himalopsyche)

Published: June 2022

Whole-genome sequencing for generating SNP data is increasingly used in
population genetic studies. However, obtaining genomes for massive
numbers of samples is still not within the budgets of many researchers.
It is thus imperative to select an appropriate reference genome and
sequencing coverage to ensure the accuracy of the results for a specific
research question, while balancing cost and feasibility. To evaluate the
effect of the choice of the reference genome and sequencing coverage on
downstream analyses, we used five confamilial reference genomes of
variable relatedness and three levels of sequencing coverage (3.5x, 7.5x
and 12x) in a population genomic study on two caddisfly species:
Himalopsyche digitata and H. tibetana. Using these 30 datasets (five
reference genomes × three coverages × two target species), we estimated
population genetic indices (inbreeding coefficient, nucleotide
diversity, pairwise and genome-wide FST) based on variants and
population structure (PCA and admixture) based on genotype likelihood
estimates. The results showed that both distantly related reference
genomes and lower sequencing coverage lead to degradation of resolution.
In addition, choosing a more closely related reference genome may
significantly remedy the defects caused by low coverage. Therefore, we
conclude that population genetic studies would benefit from closely
related reference genomes, especially as the costs of obtaining a
high-quality reference genome continue to decrease. However, to
determine a cost-efficient strategy for a specific population genomic
study, a trade-off between reference genome relatedness and sequencing
depth can be considered.
Development of an Optimised Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics analysis method of β-lactam/nacubactam against Carbapenemase-Producing K. pneumoniae
Authors: Igarashi Yuki , Takemura Wataru , Liu Xiaoxi , Kojima Nana , Morita Takumi , Chuang Victor , Enoki Yuki , Taguchi Kazuaki , Matsumoto Kazuaki
Published: June 2022

Background and Purpose: No pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics
(PK/PD) analysis method has been established for combination therapy
that comprehensively reflects the efficacy of both antibiotics.
Recently, nacubactam, which is a DBO-type new β-lactamase inhibitor and
has antibacterial activity, is being developed as a single drug to be
co-administered with cefepime or aztreonam. This study attempted to
establish a PK/PD analysis method for β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors
that incorporates instantaneous MIC (MIC) to determine
practical PK/PD parameters for aztreonam/nacubactam.
Experimental Approach: Based on Checkerboard MIC measurements,
MIC of aztreonam against carbapenemase-producing
Klebsiella pneumoniae in the presence of nacubactam was
simulated. In vivo PD effect was evaluated by the bacterial count
of thigh-infected mice after administered a combination of nacubactam
and aztreonam. The mean change in the bacterial count obtained by
in vivo PD study was plotted based on
%fT>MIC and analysed using the
Inhibitory Effect Sigmoid I Model. Key
Results:fT>MIC calculated from
the PK experiments showed a high correlation with the bactericidal
effect obtained in the PD experiments, suggesting that
fT>MIC is the optimal PK/PD
parameter for aztreonam/nacubactam. The target values of
fT>MIC achieving growth inhibition,
1 log-kill and 2 log-kill, were 22,
38 and 75%, respectively. Conclusion and Implications: The
PK/PD analysis method proposed in this study is promising for
determining practical PK/PD parameters in a combination antimicrobial
therapy. In addition, this is the first report of aztreonam/nacubactam
showing a potent in vivo therapeutic effect against
carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae, particularly NDM-producing
K. pneumoniae.
China's Ecological Civilisation as a significant strategy to offset air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural sector
Authors: Zhang xiaotang
Published: June 2022

Global climate change and air pollution pose severe challenges to human
survival and development. Pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions
can change atmospheric chemical composition and climate . To prevent an
ecological crisis and ensure the harmonious coexistence of man and
nature, China has proposed a vital national strategy of forging an
Ecological Civilisation (EC) in the country based on socialistic
principles. The agricultural sector is one of the main sources of air
pollution and GHG emissions. There exists a lack of systematic research
on the emission characteristics, their future paths, as well as control
strategies; this hinders the coordinated responses to GHG emissions and
air pollution that could otherwise lead to an improvement in the
situation. By creating an emissions inventory of homologous atmospheric
pollutants and GHG of similar origins in China’s agricultural sector, we
analysed the drivers through the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI)
model. We predicted the future path based on the measured emission
reduction potential. The research results show that agricultural
production and GHG emissions have been steadily decoupled, with
macro-control by the government being the most important driving factor
in keeping emissions under control. A nature-based action plan for the
coordinated control of GHGs and air pollutants in China based on
eco-agriculture can result in the harmonious coexistence between man and
nature in the future, by realising a socialist EC and agricultural
carbon neutrality simultaneously by the middle of the 21st century.
Local Aggregative Attack on SAR Image Classification Models
Authors: Du Meng , Bi Daping , Du Mingyang , Wu Zi-Long , Xu Xinsong
Published: June 2022

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been widely used in the field
of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification for their high
classification accuracy. However, because CNNs learn a fairly
discontinuous input-output mapping, they are vulnerable to adversarial
examples. Unlike most existing attack manners that fool CNN models with
complex global perturbations, this study provides an idea for generating
more dexterous adversarial perturbations. It demonstrates that minor
local perturbations are also effective for attacking. We propose a new
attack method called local aggregative attack (LAA), which is a
black-box method based on probability label information, to reduce the
range and amplitude of adversarial perturbations. Our attack introduces
the differential evolution (DE) algorithm to search for the optimal
perturbations and applies the maximum between-class variance method
(OTSU algorithm) to accomplish pixel-level labelling of the target and
background areas, enabling attackers to generate adversarial examples of
SAR images (AESIs) by adding small-scale perturbations to specific
areas. Meanwhile, the structural dissimilarity (DSSIM) metric optimises
the cost function to limit image distortion and improve attack
stealthiness. Experiments show that our method achieves a high attack
success rate against these CNN-based classifiers, and the generated
AESIs are equipped with non-negligible transferability between different
models.
Forced degradation studies and structural characterization of related substances of bisoprolol fumarate in finished drug product using LC-UV-MS/MS
Authors: Lazarevska-Todevska Elena , Piponski Marjan , Stefova Marina
Published: June 2022

Methods for determination of bisoprolol and related substances mostly use UV detection and a phosphate buffer and are not suitable for MS detection. In this study, LC?UV?MS/MS for separation and characterization of bisoprolol related substances was developed, validated and applied for studying the degradation products of bisoprolol when exposed to hydrolytic stress, heat and light. The method uses a C18 column, formic acid in water and acetonitrile as mobile phases, gradient elution and UV and MS detection. Forced degradation revealed that acid hydrolysis produces the most intensive transformation of bisoprolol to its impurity A, along with impurities L and D. Alkaline hydrolysis produced impurities A, L, Q, G and K; oxidative and thermal degradation produced impurities A, L and K, while photodegradation produced impurities A, L, G and K, all characterized by their mass spectral data. The developed method using two detection systems was demonstrated as efficient since mass spectra allowed identification of the related substances of bisoprolol and quantification was possible using absorbance measurements at 270 nm. The obtained results will fill in the lack of data on the fragmentation patterns of bisoprolol and related substances that could be used by researchers and practitioners in research and quality control laboratories.

Energy-Based Scheduling Optimization To Minimize The Total Energy Consumption And The Total Tardiness In A Single Machine Manufacturing System With The Sequence-Dependent Setup Times
Authors: TARAKÇI Elif , ZAİM Abdül Halim , ÖZTAŞ Oğuzhan
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, reducing energy consumption is an important target for energy-intensive manufacturing systems due to many reasons such as global warming, legal obligations and lowering company expenses. Therefore, this paper focuses on energy-based scheduling problem in manufacturing systems. A mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is developed for a single machine scheduling problem with the sequence-dependent setup times and different arrival times in order to minimize the total energy consumption and the total tardiness. An energy-based genetic optimization (EGOP) method is proposed by adopting the genetic algorithm (GA) approach, which is a heuristic method to solve the problem. The objective values and the computation times are compared with the analytical solution and the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) solution so as to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. As a result, it is seen that the proposed EGOP method provides effective results.

Authors: MABROUK Mennad , ABDERRAHİM Bentaallah , DJERİRİ Yousef , AMEUR Aissa , BESSAS Aicha
Published: June 2022

In this paper, a stand-alone hybrid power system has been proposed using both: photovoltaic generator (PVG) and permanent magnets synchronous generator (PMSG), integrated with a lithium-type battery connected to the DC bus. The improvement of performance and reliability of the overall system are guaranteed. For this aim, the efficiency of the PVG system can be enhanced firstly by using two MPPT's techniques, such as the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method and the Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) approach. The Genetic Algorithms (GA’s), using the principles of evolution, natural selection, and genetic mutation, are then introduced to address difficulties in the adjustment of the FLC gains. A lithium-ion battery model is presented to ensure stability and energy storage. Furthermore, the model of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on PMSG is presented. Hence, the control by the gradient method, allowing designing an MPPT based on the delivered power and mechanical speed of the generator. Both sources are connected to the grid via a two-level voltage source inverter controlled by Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique. Finally, simulation results obtained using MATLAB / SIMULINK software proved the effectiveness of proposed control strategies with high performance which is manifested clearly when the suggested controllers employed and shed light on the performance of the stand-alone hybrid system.

Total Precipitable water (TPW) and sea salt (AOT) were obtained from Model projects: a modern-era retrospective analysis for research and applications 2 (MERRA-2). the correlation coefficient (R) was used to test the relation between the variables like Total Precipitable water (TPW), Cloud top temperature (CTT), precipitation, and Sea Salt AOT. The results showed that there is a good correlation between the sea salt AOT and the amount of precipitation. The work also showed the roles that other variables play in the precipitation process. Where the relationships showed values of correlation coefficients about 0,6 to 0,7 between the variables, leading to the enhancement of precipitation.

Does um, the medium, uh, matter? Measuring Fluency through filled pauses in Face-to-Face and Teletandem communicative groups
Authors: ZAMORA Celia Chomón , FINNEGAN Abbie
Published: June 2022

The frequency of hesitational phenomena, such as Filled Pauses (FP) are inversely correlated to the perceived fluency of L2 learners (e.g., DERWING; ROSSITER; MUNRO; THOMSON, 2004; LENNON, 1990; ULLAKONOJA, 2008). The current study investigated the production of these FPs by 66 naive Spanish L2 learners with an L1 of English in two types of oral tasks and compared their frequency in regard to task type and whether they participated in Face-to-Face or Telecollaboration (Teletandem) communicative dyads. Results indicate that while the medium of the tasks did not impact fluency, the task type did.

Systems of nonsmooth equations are very useful in the study of nonlinear complementarity problems, variational inequality problems, bilevel programming problems, and arise in the mathematical modeling of many problems in chemical processing, mechanics and engineering. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid method for solving systems of nonsmooth equations, which combines the idea of Levenberg–Marquardt–type methods with bundle techniques, while avoiding the hypothesis of differentiability of the least squares merit function. Some numerical results comparing the proposed method with LP-Newton method indicate that the improved Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm works quite well in practice. As an application of the proposed algorithm, we consider the multi-stream heat exchanger network problem, where a heat exchange network must be designed to meet a specified exit temperature for a given set of streams.

In this paper we devise a microscopic (agent-based) mathematical model for reproducing crowd behavior in a specific scenario: a number of pedestrians, consisting of numerous social groups, flow along a corridor until a gate located at the end of the corridor closes. People are not informed about the closure of the gate and perceive the blockage observing dynamically the local crowd conditions. Once people become aware of the new conditions, they stop and then decide either to stay, waiting for reopening, or to go back and leave the corridor forever. People going back hit against newly incoming people creating a dangerous counter-flow. We run several numerical simulations varying parameters which control the crowd behavior, in order to understand the factors which have the greatest impact on the system dynamics. We also study the optimal way to inform people about the blockage in order to prevent the counter-flow. We conclude with some useful suggestions directed to the organizers of mass events.

Authors: Бовенко Анжела А.
Published: June 2022

В статье рассмотрены основные подходы к изучению соревновательной мотивации и связанные с ними теоретические положения. Представлен анализ отечественной и зарубежной научной литературы, в которых отражены теоретические основы соревновательной мотивации. Новизна исследования заключается в малом количестве исследований и отсутствии обобщенной информации по теме. Во Введении освещены основные сферы проявления соревновательной мотивации. Помимо спортивной деятельности, соревновательная мотивация также имеет место в образовании, рыночной экономике, в обычной предметно-практической деятельности в целом. Речь идёт также о том, что, чаще всего, впервые соревновательная мотивация проявляется у человека в подростковом возрасте. В разделе «Теоретическое обоснование» рассмотрены специфические признаки соревновательных мотивов, место соревновательной мотивации в мотивационной структуре спортивной деятельности и её соотношение со спортивной мотивацией. Составлен также перечень мотивов спортивной деятельности, связанных с соревновательной мотивацией. Раздел Обсуждение результатов включает в себя анализ результатов исследований отечественных и зарубежных авторов по теме формирования и особенностей проявления соревновательной мотивации. В этом разделе отражено сопровождение соревновательной мотивации конкретными эмоциональными состояниями и упомянуты стратегии, характерные для ситуации соревнования. В разделе «Заключение» содержатся основные выводы, сделанные на основе анализа теоретического материала по проблеме соревновательной мотивации. Так, отмечена важность рассмотрения феномена соревновательной мотивации вне контекста спортивной деятельности.

Скрытые влечения женщин с алкогольной зависимостью
Authors: Цапенко Александр В.
Published: June 2022

Во Введении показана актуальность проблемы в аспекте роста её распространенности. Приводится обзор причин алкогольной зависимости у женщин. Так, среди основных факторов женского алкоголизма исследователи выделяют: наследственность, особенности метаболизма и биохимических реакций организма женщин, эмансипацию, одиночество, влияние партнера и др. Представители психоанализа связывают алкоголизм с проблемами в сексуальной сфере. Автор отмечает, что особое влияние на возникновение проблемы оказывают психотравмирующие ситуации, которые формируют бессознательные сценарии поведения, и впоследствии могут проявиться в виде зависимостей, в т.ч. алкогольной. В связи с этим, для успешного решения проблемы женского алкоголизма необходимо выявить его бессознательные причины, для чего автор предлагает посмотреть на данный вопрос с позиций судьбоанализа, определяющего родовые бессознательные факторы влечения. Новизна исследования заключается в определении истоков проблемы женского алкоголизма с позиций теории судьбоанализа Л. Сонди и установлении доминирующих влечений алкогольной зависимости женщин. В разделе "Методы" описаны основные методы эмпирического исследования: тест Сонди для установления ведущего базового влечения, определяющего поведение женщин и приводящего их к алкоголизму, метод статистической обработки данных ‒ Критерий согласия Пирсона. Описана выборка: 65 женщин 20-68 лет с 1-й и 2-й стадиями алкоголизма. В разделе "Результаты" приведены характеристики обнаруженных базовых тенденций поведения: маниакальные, депрессивные, кататонические, паранойяльные проявления. Представлены результаты математической статистики полученных данных. В "Обсуждении результатов" проведена параллель между проблемами выявления причин алкоголизма и расстройств пищевого поведения, которые могут быть обусловлены оральным характером. Обозначены общие тенденции между обнаруженными базовыми влечениями по теории Л. Сонди и стадиями психосексуального развития по теории З. Фрейда. Заключение акцентирует роль бессознательных тенденций в формировании и удержании проблемы алкогольной зависимости у женщин.

Abstract Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle) essential oil contains active compounds such as antioxidants and has the potential to be developed as a sunscreen. Nanoemulsion is a water and oil dispersion stabilized by a surfactant layer and has a particle size below 100 nm. This study described the formulation, characterization of citronella oil nanoemulsions, and determination of their activity as a sunscreen through the SPF values. The nanoemulsion formulation was made with 3 variations of oil concentration: F1 (1%), F2 (3%), and F3 (5%). The results of the organoleptic test were following the standards which were clear and no phase separation occurred. In addition, the pH value of the 1%, 3%, and 5% prepared nanoemulsions were categorized as safe to be used on the skin. The prepared formulas were categorized as O/W nanoemulsion types. The viscosity values were found to be 12.76, 25.13, and 84.05 cP respectively. Furthermore, the percent transmittance values were 98.4, 98.9, and 99.9%. The particle sizes, respectively, were 9.4 (100%), 10.07 (97%), and 8.96 nm (82.5%). The centrifugation and freeze-thaw cycle tests showed good physical stability. The results of the sunscreen potential test of the 1%, 3%, and 5% citronella oil nanoemulsion showed SPF values of 1.03, 1.13, and 1.14 with %Te values of 77.42, 70.21, and 67.86% respectively, and %Tp values of 95.94, 94.04, and 93.61% respectively. Keywords: Citronella essential oil (Cymbopogon nardus L. Rendle), nanoemulsion, antioxidant, sunscreen, SPF.
