Objective: Bacterial co-pathogens are common in various viral respiratory tract infections, leading to increased disease severity and mortality. Still, they are understudied during large outbreaks and pandemics. This study was conducted to highlight the overall burden of these infections in COVID-19 patients admitted to our tertiary care hospital, along with their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Material and methods: During the six-month study period, clinical samples (blood samples, respiratory samples, and sterile body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]) of COVID-19 patients with suspected bacterial coinfections (at presentation) or secondary infections (after 48 hours of hospitalization) were received and processed for the same.

Results: Clinical samples of 814 COVID-19 patients were received for bacterial culture and susceptibility. Out of the total patient sample, 75% had already received empirical antibiotics before the samples were sent for analysis. Overall, 17.9% of cultures were positive for bacterial infections. Out of the total patients with bacterial infection, 74% (108/146) of patients had secondary bacterial infections (after 48 hours of hospitalization) and 26% (38/146) had bacterial coinfections (at the time of admission). Out of the 143 total isolates obtained, the majority (86%) were gram-negative organisms, of which Acinetobacter species was the commonest organism (35.6%), followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.1%). The majority (50.7%) of the pathogenic organisms reported were multidrug resistant.

Conclusion: The overall rate of secondary bacterial infections (SBIs) in our study was lower (7.9%) than reported by other studies. A rational approach would be to adhere to the practice of initiating culture-based guidance for antibiotics and to restrict unnecessary empirical antimicrobial therapy.

Published: November 2021

Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has imposed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems worldwide. In response, psychiatrist trainees were redeployed from their training sites to help manage patients with COVID-19. This study aimed to examine the attitude of psychiatrist trainees toward redeployment to COVID-19 sites and their perceived preparedness for managing physical health conditions during redeployment. Methods: A cross-sectional researcher-developed online survey was administered among psychiatrist trainees in May 2020 at the Department of Psychiatry, Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar. Results: Of the 45 psychiatrist trainees, 40 (88.9%) responded to the survey. Most trainees reported being comfortable dealing with chronic medical conditions, but less so with acute life-threatening medical conditions. Half reported feeling anxious about redeployment, and most felt the need for additional training. We found that trainees’ perceived redeployment preparedness was significantly associated with their level of postgraduate training and the time since and duration of their last medical or surgical training. Conclusion: Adequate preparation and training of psychiatrist trainees is important before redeployment to COVID-19 sites to ensure that they can effectively and safely manage patients with COVID-19.

Published: November 2021

This paper presents an approach for designing a prosthetic limb using SolidWorks. The process of stereolithography helped manufacture the prosthetic limb due to the flexibility in the provided parameters. The designed leg weighs 4kg approx. The entire weight acts on the sole of the leg. The sole again underwent a SolidWorks simulation with the application of a 1200N load. The preferred material - TPU - was selected after considering all the factors. The manuscript proceeds with a financial analysis to get a price estimate for the manufacturing of each part of the limb, which is a crucial factor.
Sustaining Business Beyond Corporate Hypocrisy: Social Distance and Corporate Social Initiatives
Authors: Madurapperuma Madurapperuma Arachchige Yasantha Daminda
Published: November 2021

The involvement of firms in charitable initiatives has been put into practice utilizing direct corporate donations, corporate volunteering, and cause-related marketing. Despite the popularity of such marketing tools, consumers have become skeptical of such practices. The corporate sector and charity organizations struggle to channel more resources toward charity causes. In light of this, the study investigates how value-driven individual differences – self-construal – moderate the relationship between social distance and donation behavior. The results of two experiments reveal that, when individuals evaluate donation options jointly, social distance evokes a mental process through which individuals tend to go for time donations, if the event is organized by someone similar, whereas individuals tend to choose the money donation option if the event is organized by someone dissimilar. The interaction effect is well pronounced, concerning money donations compared to time donations. Moreover, the lower social distance attenuates skepticism towards Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

 The general variations of pre-monsoon maximum temperature over New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai for the 51 years period from 1951 to 2001 and its possible association with solar activity [estimated in terms of annual mean sunspot (SS) numbers] have been analysed statistically. The temperature series indicate an approximate periodicity of 3 years for all the stations with an increasing trend for Chennai only. Analysis of the variations with respect to solar phases (using a growth rate model) indicates an increasing trend of temperature in 73% cases during solar minimum to maximum phases. The correlation coefficient between pre-monsoon temperature and annual mean SS nos. of the preceding year indicate a positive association when the latter exceeds some critical value approximately 140 and it (+0.647) is significant for New Delhi. The present result is consistent with similar studies for stations over eastern India.

Authors: CHAKRABORTY TAPAN KANTI
Published: November 2021

Five parameter multiple linear regression model for objective forecasting of minimum temperature of Kolkata (Alipore) with 12 hours lead period has been developed. The predictors are chosen from the available surface data of Alipore observatory and low level wind data of M. O. Kolkata. Model has been developed from data sample comprising of 237 days (in January and February, period: 1997 – 2000) after stationarity test of minimum temperature data of much longer period (1988–2004). The model is tested with independent sample of 178 days. Efficiencies of the model have been tested with statistical skill score and found to be positive. The model can be used by the forecaster for assessing prediction minimum temperature and modify if cloud cover and wind flow pattern are expected to change subsequently.

The time series of the various indices of Atlantic storm activity (number of named storms, hurricanes, etc.) for 1900-2000 were subjected to spectral analysis by MEM (Maximum Entropy Method) and amplitudes of the periodicities were obtained by MRA (Multiple Regression Analysis).  For recent data (1950 onwards), significant periodicities were in the quasi-biennial, quasi-triennial regions and also in higher regions, including decadal. In the QBO region (2-3 years), storm indices had peaks near 2.40 and 2.85 years, similar to 2.40 years of 50 hPa low latitude zonal wind and 2.40 and 2.85 years of ENSO (El Niño/Southern Oscillation) phenomenon. In the QTO region (3-4 years), storm indices and ENSO had common peaks near 3.5 years. In higher periodicity regions, storm indices had peaks at 4.5-5.5, 8-9, 11-12 and 14-15 years, while ENSO had peaks at 7.4 and 12-14 years. In the multi-decadal range, storm peaks were at 28-34, 40, 50-53, 61-63, ~70 and ~80 years (but different for different indices), which matched with similar peaks in land and sea surface temperatures. Some indices had large uptrends, ~50% in 90 years.

Equivalent issues in the translation of idiomatic expressions
Authors:   Western Caspian University, Jafarzadeh Samira
Published: November 2021

Idiomatic expressions may be regarded as a part of daily speech. They are the basis of any language and they are also considered the most problematic part for handling with. The purpose of this article is to clarify the main reasons why idiomatic expressions make such a complex issue for the translators. Translation is generally not an easy task, especially when translating idiomatic expressions makes it a more difficult task and also if the translators are not aware of the cultural differences between the target and source languages. They must recognize idiomatic expressions and distinguish them from the non-idiomatic expressions. Three strategies have been proposed to overcome this problem; it allows the translators to accept what they see best in the text under translation. But, emphasis is given to the cultural substitution where meaning can be given priority over a form in favor of preserving cultural flavor of a target language.
Characteristics of stress tolerance of working women and housewives
Authors:   Baku State University, Nasibova Shafa
Published: November 2021

In psychology, stress is a feeling of strain and pressure. Small amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial, and even healthy. Positive stress helps improve athletic performance. It also plays a factor in motivation, adaptation, and reaction to the environment. Excessive amounts of stress, however, may lead to bodily harm. Stress can be external and related to the environment, but may also be created by internal perceptions that cause an individual to experience anxiety or other negative emotions surrounding a situation, such as pressure, discomfort, etc., which they then deem stressful. The level of resistance to stress manifests itself at different levels in individual individuals. On the one hand, it has to do with an individual's life history, on the other hand, the environment around him, the type, character, and even sex of the individual's nervous system. In the article, we talked about the stress resistance characteristics of working and non-working women.

Food security in households can be measured by maintaining stability and security in the availability of staple food. Covid-19 has an impact on the agricultural sector and farmers so that it affects their income, and automatically changes the availability of food in their households. The purpose of this study was to find out how Covid-19 had an impact on the food availability of rice farmers' households, and what strategies were used to survive in conditions of uncertainty. This research uses a case study approach in Aceh Province. The results of this study show contradictory responses based on the status of the farmer (agriculture as the main or secondary livelihood), and the availability of access to other sources of income affects how or not Covid-19 affects their lives. This study shows that the cultural factors of farmers who live simply and farmers of food commodities are those who are more resilient than farmers of other commodities and the lower middle class in general. The strategy in question is to sell produce with a larger proportion due to declining selling prices, take food from the harvest and rice barns also receive assistance from the government.

Published: November 2021

Profitability and financing efficiency are the main indicators of changes in macroeconomic conditions. In theperiod 2015 – 2018, Islamic banking has not shown positive numbers in profitability and financing efficiency. This shows that the overall development of Islamic banking has not been able to maintain the level of financial health of the company. If Islamic banking cannot maintain the level of financial soundness, then the potential for Islamic banking to experience bankruptcy conditions begins with financial distress conditions becoming greater. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial ratio variables such as financial ratio variables, namely operating costs of operating income, capital adequacy ratio and current ratio and is focused on corporate governance consisting of the board of commissioners and the board of directors that affect financial distress in Islamic banking. Samples were selected by purposive sampling method as many as 14 sharia banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a data collection period of 2013 – 2019. The data used is secondary data. Data analysis uses fixed effect model estimation and classic assumption test. The results showed that the variable financial ratio and corporate governance simultaneously affect the condition of financial distress. The conclusion of the study is that the board of directors does not have a significant positive effect on financial distress, but the capital adequacy ratio and current ratio have a significantly positive effect on financial distress. While the operational costs of operating income and the board of commissioners have a significant negative effect on financial distress conditions

The paper pulp and the product created by it are characterized by specific parameters, categorizing the type and the different purpose of the paper and the cardboard. The composition of used ingredients, which, depending on the species and percentage ratio of the individual components, creates high-quality papers, more specialized for printing traditional and digital graphics or lower quality papers intended for domestic, mass use (books, newspapers, magazines, promotional materials, etc.). Basically, the raw materials used for paper production and at the same time responsible for the individual characteristics of the product can be divided into four groups: fibrous material, binders, fillers and colorants. Thanks to their qualitative and quantitative composition, specific physical characteristics are distinguished, determining the surface of the paper (appearance), its opacity or transparency, strength, weight and thickness, grain, aging. The report concerns precisely the specification and quality parameters that give an individual look to the different types of paper and cardboard.
The Functions of Colour in the Soviet Cinema Films in 60s of 20th Century
Authors:   St. Cyril and St. Methodius University of Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Nyagolova Nataliya
Published: November 2021

This report features the functions of colour in the Soviet cinema films in the period of The Thaw. In the 60s, a refusal of colour use and filming of black and white movies is a frequent phenomenon (M. Hutsiev The Stands of Ilich, 1962, Yosef Heifits The Day of Hapiness, 1963, S. Gerasimov Journalist, 1967, V. Basov Shield and Sword, 1966, P. Todorovski Magician, 1967, etc.). The use of this technique was defined by several factors: – the desire of the cinema of the Thaw to defer from the decorative and theatrical colour scheme of the Stalin era; – turning light into a main instrument of the “cinema language”; – the poetic approach to the film narrative and the specific drama effect of the visual plot structure of the films; – the claim of the cinema artists of the 60s to create an author’s independent and intelligent cinema, without any relation to popular art.
The so Called Visual Turn of Contemporary Culture – Myth or Reality?
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Poland, Spasova Pravda
Published: November 2021

The paper deals with aesthetic and sociological questions, posed by the increasing role of the visual in everyday cultural practices and particularly in contemporary art. In this context the theories of Jean Baudrillard and Guy Debord are mentioned critically. The conclusion of the author is that there is no reason to believe the problems of interpretation and the future of contemporary art are due to anything like specific visual turn of world culture nowadays. The visual leads to the rational, even to metaphysical if we are prepared to understand it.
Woodcarvings in Temples “St. Dimitar” and “St. app. Peter and Paul” in Svishtov

The subject of this text are the altar doors of the iconostasis in the temple “St. Dimitar” and the iconostasis at the temple “St. app. Peter and Paul” in Svishtov. Literary sources, field studies, and comparative material from other carvings give us reason to make suggest about the possible dating and attributing. It can be assumed that the woodcarving of the iconostasis in the church “St. app. Peter and Paul” in Svishtov is a work of carvers from the group of Georgi from Vidin. The work was created in the first half of the 19th century. Perhaps at the same time was made the holy gates of the altar of the other Svishtov church “St. Dimitar”.

The work builds on Martin Jane’s text “Skopic Regimes of Modernity” and follows the set rhythm. Text has a fund of physical, physiological, psychological, artistic, and artistic knowledge as a broad culturalgnoseological network of information tendentiously put into the notes; it produces a resource for constantly correlating meaningfully and referring to it focuses on their own visual research issues. In this way, it can bring the vision of a dominant sense to perception in no way as conception, presentation, understanding of reality, and the way this visual perception is expressed in the Italian Renaissance painting and in the Flemish one from the 17th century.

The crash of Bulgarian monumental sculpture in the post-totalitarian period is a sign of serious lack of common direction, vision and purpose in society. This vision not only characterizes the architectural landscape or plan of the country, it points to and emphasizes the disharmonism of the so-called Transition, started after 10.11.1989 year. The attitude towards already realized works from the era of socialism contributes to the general impression of immaturity.

Published: November 2021

During the epoch of the Bulgarian Revival, a new kind of home culture was established. Gradually traditional folk culture gives way to European. This process reflected in changes in the residential architecture, furnishings and decoration of the home. The lounge turns into the center of the house and its ceiling is the most suitable place for decorative carving. During the Revival period, carving ceilings, apart from residential architecture, are also widespread in many churches and monasteries. The wood-carved ceilings are a characteristic manifestation of Renaissance worldview and aesthetics, helping to invent, transform and further develop the tradition in the work of a carver of this era.

To solve the problems of sustainable management of water resources in the catchment area of the Ili River basin, it is becoming demanded to study the dynamics of the average annual water discharge, taking into account anthropogenic activities, since their intensity is constantly growing. At the same time, the integral indicator of natural conditions in the catchment is the average annual water discharge of river basins, and the importance of this parameter lies in the fact that they can be considered as a function of the response to any changes in the catchment. In this regard, the analysis of changes in the average annual water discharge of the Ili River basin's catchment area was carried out on a spatio-temporal scale, where linear trends were used to assess and plot graphs, the method of multiple regression analysis and processing of time series were carried out on the basis of Microsoft Excel. Analysis of the dynamics of the average annual water discharge in the Ili River basin's catchment area on a spatio-temporal scale showed that, despite significant variability over the years, all studied hydrological stations are characterized by general patterns of changes in the hydrological regime under the influence of anthropogenic and natural factors.

In market conditions, one of the key issues of management is the effective use of available natural resources. In agricultural production, these are the problems of using land resources. An urgent task is the rational use of pasture resources according to the seasons of the year for the management of pasture cattle breeding. The article considers the reflection in geographical names of pasture names and terms used in traditional animal husbandry, which provide important information about the features of the landscape. In addition, the regularities of the use of natural conditions by the ethnic group that inhabited this territory, the spatial distribution of pasture terms characteristic ofa particular landscape are determined.
River Lan discharge: current state and forecast
Authors:   Brest State Technical University, Volchek A.A.
Published: November 2021

The results of the study of the water regime of the Lan River, a typical small river of the Belarusian Polesye, are presented. The Lan River is represented by three monitoring sites (Lognovichi, Loktyshi and Mokrovo) with drainage areas A = 480 km2, A = 909 km2 and A = 2550 km2, respectively, with different observation periods and the degree of anthropogenic impact. In addition to large-scale reclamation in the river basin, carried out in the middle of the last century, in 1977, a reservoir was built in the river bed for fish farming and agricultural use. Using the method of analogies, the series of observations of annual, maximum, minimum summer-autumn and winter water discharges are reduced to a single calculated period of 68 years from 1948 to 2015. Assessment of the influence of anthropogenic impacts and natural factors on the runoff, the initial time series, the averaging intervals were analyzed: from 1948 to 2015. (the entire observation period length is 68 years); from 1948 to 1977 (29 years period before the commissioning of the Loktyshi reservoir); from 1978 to 2015 (38 years of reservoir operation period); from 1978 to 1987 (10 years period of the reservoir functioning before the beginning of the modern climate warming,); from 1988 to 2015 (27 years period of the reservoir functioning under the current climate warming). Statistical heterogeneity was found as a result of intensive economic activity, which significantly disrupts the natural hydrological regime. It was revealed that for the average annual runoff there is a decrease along the Lognovichi site and an increase along the Loktyshi site; for the maximum runoff, a decrease is observed along all the stations under consideration; for the minimum summer-autumn discharge, an increase is observed along the Loktyshi site; for the minimum winter runoff, an increase is observed along all stations. Based on the hydrological and climatic hypothesis, predictive estimates of the average discharge values for the period of 2050 are given, which are expressed in a certain decrease in it and a shift in the peak of spring flood to earlier dates.

Modern toponymy develops at the intersection of geographical, linguistic and historical sciences, so the research methods are also based on the methodological foundations of these three sciences. The main research methods include descriptive, historical, lexicon-geographical, comparativegeographical, cartographic (GIS), and statistical methods. The predominance of a particular method depends on the characteristics of toponyms, the conditions of their historical and geographical development, and the geographical features of the territory under study. The article deals with the history of the study of the toponymy of Saryarka, which covers a large territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In addition, along with the research methods, the place and possibilities of using geoinformation (GIS), cartographic methods in toponymic research are considered.
Evaluation des frais de fonctionnement de l’activité médicale (étude dans le cadre du plan de réforme du financement hospitalier belge adopté en 2015), l’exemple de la neurochirurgie.

L’objectif de cette étude était d’évaluer les frais de fonctionnement des actes médicaux réalisés dans le cadre des clusters à basse et moyenne variabilité, en vue de préparer l’éventuelle phase de scission des honoraires dans le cadre de la forfaitarisation du financement hospitalier belge. Une sélection de 355 actes médicaux, correspondant aux actes médicaux représentant 80% des coûts des actes prestés pour les séjours regroupés dans les APR-DRGs à faible ou moyenne variabilité a été réalisée. Par frais de fonctionnement des actes, on entend le coût du personnel soignant ou technique directement impliqué dans la réalisation de l’acte, le coût des consommables médicaux non facturés, le coût des équipements et du petit matériel nécessaire à la réalisation de l'acte. L’étude a été réalisée dans un échantillon de 14 hôpitaux belges.  Pour réaliser cette étude, il a été nécessaire de combiner différentes méthodologies, afin de s’adapter à la disponibilité ou non des données dans les hôpitaux.  Les résultats des 14 actes de neurochirurgie sont donnés à titre d’illustration. Cette étude a été utile puisqu'elle a permis d'analyser concrètement les difficultés méthodologiques qu'il faudra résoudre si l'on veut, un jour, scinder des honoraires combinant pratique professionnelle et frais de fonctionnement. Cette étape est cependant conditionnée par une réforme structurelle de la nomenclature des actes médicaux.
The Impact of EFL Teachers’ Pedagogical Beliefs and Practices: Communicative Language Teaching in A Saudi University Context
Authors: Alghamdi Ahmed
Published: November 2021

This study aims to explore the pedagogical beliefs of Saudi instructors of English as a foreign language (EFL), and the extent to which they apply the values of the communicative language teaching (CLT) approach in their classroom practice. The study was conducted with 42 Saudi EFL teachers and employed a mixed methods approach. A descriptive analysis of classroom observation data was conducted. The results showed that teachers hold positive views of CLT, but that there are some discrepancies between their beliefs and their implementations of the approach. For example, most of the instructors continued to apply traditional teaching methods (i.e., grammar translation and the audio-lingual approach). The study concludes that it is essential in the Saudi EFL context for teachers to cultivate relations between their beliefs and practices to assure better language learning outcomes. The key contribution of this study lies in disclosing the reasons for the discrepancies between Saudi EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices to help them develop congruence, and in highlighting the pedagogical implementations.

 
Regional Clusters, Similarities, and Changes in Turkey’s Wood Production
Authors: Kurt Rıfat , İmren Erol
Published: November 2021

This study aimed to separate the wood production in regions and provinces of Turkey into homogeneous groups based on similarities by using the country’s wood production figures for 2013 and 2018. Within this context, the hierarchical Ward’s and non-hierarchical K-means clustering methods were used comparatively. Clustering analyses of 2 to 6 in number were performed via both methods, and the same regions mostly fell into the same cluster groups, although in different cluster combinations. The results showed that some provinces with rich forest areas did not produce enough wood. It was observed that these provinces were in the same clusters with provinces having a low amount of forest areas and low wood production. Over the five-year period, very few provinces and regions differed in line with the previous development plans. The creation of a spatial database for wood raw material production using the findings obtained in this study will contribute to the development of operational inventory methods that can be included in long- and medium-term forestry plans.

Femicide: een kritische reflectie op het gebruik van de term

In toenemende mate worden dergelijke zaken geduid als femicide, breed gedefinieerd als het doden van vrouwen om hun gender. Deze term werd in de eerste instantie in gebruik genomen door organisaties en activisten die zich inzetten voor vrouwenrechten, om aandacht te vragen voor geweld tegen vrouwen. In toenemende mate wordt echter ook in beleid en wetgeving deze term gehanteerd. De vraag is in hoeverre di teen bruikbare term is voor de aanpak van de problematiek die eraan ten grondslag is.
