Pouvoir et autorité des chefs de service
Authors: Karsz Saül
Published: January 2022

Raisons subjectives et paramètres objectifs expliquent que l’identité professionnelle interpelle pratiquement tous les métiers. En travail social et médico-social, les cadres y sont nommément confrontés. D’autant plus que, pour faire autorité, ils ne peuvent pas s’appuyer uniquement sur leur statut hiérarchique. En outre, ces thématiques spécifiques du chef de service fournissent une porte d’entrée privilégiée pour comprendre ce que ce poste implique, ses rôles, attributs et limites. Il convient donc de situer ce dernier dans l’ensemble de la dynamique institutionnelle, berceau de l’identité professionnelle et du faire autorité qui sont, tous deux, des constructions plus ou moins consistantes et sûrement pas des données naturelles ou spontanées. La question des protocoles, recommandations de bonnes pratiques et dispositifs assimilés nécessite d’être revisitée, en évitant les trop nombreux quiproquos qui transforment une affaire effectivement complexe en un problème inutilement compliqué. Les liens de ces dispositifs aux pratiques innovantes peuvent ainsi être reconsidérés. Des définitions opérationnelles de l’identité professionnelle et du faire autorité sont alors avancées — dont la distinction entre la logique des situations et par ailleurs leur sens, stratégique pour l’exercice professionnel.
A Review of the Types and Characteristics of Healthy Life Expectancy and Methodological Issues
Authors: Kim Young-Eun , Jung Yoon-Sun , Ock Minsu , Yoon Seok-Jun
Published: January 2022

An index that evaluates the health level of a population group considering both death and loss of function due to disease is called a summary measure of population health (SMPH). SMPHs are broadly divided into life year indices and life expectancy indices, the latter of which comprise healthy life expectancy (HLE). HLE is included as a policy target in various national and regional level healthcare plans, and the term “HLE” is commonly used in academia and by the public. However, the overall level of understanding of HLE—such as the precise definition of HLE and methods of calculating HLE—still seems to be low. As discussed in this study, the types of HLE are classified into disability-free life expectancy, disease-free life expectancy, quality-adjusted life expectancy, self-rated HLE, and disability-adjusted life expectancy. Their characteristics are examined to facilitate a correct understanding and appropriate utilization of HLE. In addition, the Sullivan method, as a representative method for calculating HLE, is presented in detail, and major issues in the process of calculating HLE, such as selection of the population group and age group, estimation of death probability, calculation of life years, and incorporation of health weights, are reviewed. This study will help researchers to select an appropriate HLE type and evaluate the validity of HLE research results, and it is expected to contribute to the vitalization of HLE research.

À partir des années 1970, l’édition scientifique intègre de nouveaux processus rendus possibles par l’informatisation et la numérisation. On décrit ici les principales réalisations (indexation, bibliométrie, base de données, plates-formes d’articles, revues totalement numériques, science ouverte) dans le monde et en France, le rôle des acteurs (éditeurs, universités et organismes, collectifs scientifiques, autorités politiques) et les questions que posent l’émergence de modèles économiques adaptés à la publication et diffusion sur réseaux numériques.
La fin de la publication scientifique ? Une analyse entre légitimité, prédation et automatisation
Authors: Zeghmouri Chérifa Boukacem
Published: January 2022

La courte histoire de la communication scientifique sur le Web se caractérise par des régulations spécifiques au numérique : accélération, ouverture et fragmentation. Au cœur de ces régulations, le modèle de la « Revue » devient moins le vecteur de diffusion de l’information scientifique que le lieu de structuration et de convergence des stratégies des acteurs impliqués. Revues légitimes, revues médias, revues prédatrices ou bien encore revues générées automatiquement, composent aujourd’hui « l’offre » de la publication scientifique disponible via des plateformes qui contribuent à en effacer les caractéristiques et les repères. Ainsi, l’information scientifique, concept apparu après-guerre, trouve un champ d’intervention conceptuel et opératoire nouveau, qui dépasse la multiplication et la généralisation du modèle de la plateforme (archives ouvertes, serveurs de pré-prints, réseaux sociaux…). Il permet de prendre en charge l’évolution des sciences, de leurs objets et de leurs pratiques. Mais surtout il permet de penser les nouvelles formes de validation scientifiques qui se redéfinissent, à l’intersection des champs scientifique, social et médiatique, et qui soulèvent de nouvelles questions à leur tour.
Diffuser et pérenniser le savoir scientifique : 20 ans d’histoire de HAL
Authors: Berthaud Christine , Charnay Daniel , Fargier Nathalie
Published: January 2022

Initié par le CNRS en 2001, HAL est devenu, en 20 ans d’existence, une plateforme nationale mutualisée au service de l’ensemble des communautés scientifiques. HAL est tout à la fois une archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire et l’archive institutionnelle de la recherche française. Cette singularité est forte au sein des politiques publiques françaises de diffusion des publications scientifiques et de l’écosystème des archives ouvertes au niveau international. Elle est le fruit de la combinaison de trois facteurs : des actions individuelles, une mobilisation des communautés professionnelles et des stratégies institutionnelles, en lien étroit avec l’affirmation progressive de la science ouverte comme mode d’organisation de la recherche. L’article présente un regard réflexif sur l’évolution de HAL, sur ses principales étapes et sur l’environnement qui l’a porté. Il s’attache à présenter les fondements scientifiques, techniques et documentaires de HAL mais aussi à exposer les usages émergents puis massifs de cette archive par la communauté scientifique. Il interroge également la configuration actuelle de HAL et son devenir. Un double point de vue est privilégié : HAL est appréhendé comme un dispositif technico-documentaire et comme un écosystème au sein duquel interagissent chercheurs, institutions et professionnels de l’information scientifique, chacun de ces acteurs ayant une stratégie propre. Nous présentons les actions mises en œuvre et les acteurs mobilisés, analysons les résultats obtenus (en premier lieu l’enrichissement du contenu et développement de l’adhésion à HAL) et évoquons les facteurs de réussite comme les difficultés rencontrées.
Recensements et mesures de la publication scientifique : l’article scientifique comme donnée
Authors: Egret Daniel
Published: January 2022

Au cours du XIXe siècle, et au début du XXe, le recensement et le catalogage des articles s’accompagnent d’une indexation par auteur de la production scientifique. C’est l’utilisation de la citation comme indicateur d’influence, qui ouvrira la voie à la bibliométrie, et aux études quantitatives de la science. Nous présentons les principaux éléments du débat relatif aux taux de citation et des facteurs d’impact, et à l’usage d’indicateurs numériques dans les processus d’évaluation. Le développement de la Science Ouverte ouvre une nouvelle étape, avec l’exigence d’une utilisation responsable de la bibliométrie et des données quantitatives.
L’hypertexte et les sciences (1991-2021) : des voies navigables pour les routes de connaissances
Authors: Fabre Renaud , Schöpfel Joachim
Published: January 2022

Faire évoluer la connaissance a toujours nécessité de représenter et de certifier l’information scientifique disponible. Dans ce sens, une révolution inattendue survient en 1991 avec le langage fondateur d’Internet, le protocole hypertexte (HTML) : il relie en effet à l’infini les informations scientifiques, en créant des cartes et routes de connaissances à partir d’une architecture modulaire d’arcs et de sommets (hyperliens, URL) couplée à la puissance analytique massive des Graphes. Candidate idéale à la navigation hypertexte, de par la structuration de ses vocabulaires et de ses communautés aux dimensions réduites, la science en a bénéficié de façon spectaculaire : sur ces nouveaux fondements en effet, en une génération (1991-2021), ont été construites pour la première fois d’immenses bases et bibliothèques globales, bibliothèques d’Alexandrie modernes (1991-2010).Toutefois, le développement des systèmes hypertextes s’est heurté à divers obstacles (2010-2020) : massivité de l’information, imprécisions des systèmes d’assemblage et d’identification des connaissances et de décompte de leurs usages, lacunes de la philologie et de l’épistémologie de ces nouveaux leviers du savoir. La représentation stable des connaissances peine ainsi à dépasser divers conflits systémiques : comment rendre mieux traçables les interactions entre les choix documentaires et les opinons de certification ? Comment renforcer l’intégrité du processus de validation des connaissances ?Dans un hypertexte toutefois, le choix des liens de correspondance entre documents (Hyperlinks) n’est pas aléatoire : la « distance cognitive » entre les textes peut-elle être représentée avec intégrité ? Le programme d’une recherche en cours (2021), avec la topologie des graphes les sciences du vivant les SHS et les sciences de l’information, tend à fusionner la « recommandation » du document scientifique et la « contextualisation » de ses usages, en visant des cartes et des routes de connaissances plus lisibles et une navigation plus sure. Cette double exigence étend la Science ouverte à « l’Open Process », fluidifiant l’échange entre des architectures hypertextes mobilisées pour servir l’opinion de certification des connaissances. La recherche sur les hypertextes est confrontée à un défi, à travers les fonctions d’assemblage et leurs transitions, qui n’est rien moins que d’équilibrer les langages et le message véhiculés dans le partage des connaissances.Le programme d’une recherche en cours (2021), avec la topologie des graphes, tend à fusionner la « recommandation » du document scientifique et la « contextualisation » de ses usages, en visant des cartes et des routes de connaissances plus lisibles et une navigation plus sure.

Published: January 2022

Le domaine de l’infectiologie constitue un champ de recherche transversal. Afin de l’identifier précisément, l’article constitue un corpus global des publications en infectiologie en combinant les moyens offerts par le langage contrôlé du thésaurus MeSH de Medline et par la catégorisation des revues scientifiques du Web of Science. Ce corpus mondial permet caractériser les publications des 20 premiers pays publiant dans le domaine et de retracer les évolutions entre 2000 à 2020. La construction de cartes thématiques permet d’identifier les thèmes de recherche au sein de l’infectiologie dans le monde et en France. L’explosion des publications sur le Covid-19 en 2020 a un impact très visible sur la carte mondiale des thématiques en infectiologie et modifie le positionnement de certains pays dans ce domaine de recherche.

- Foreign Exchange (Forex) is the exchange / trading of currencies from different countries with the aim of making profit. Exchange rates on Forex markets are always changing and it is hard to predict. Many factors affect exchange rates of certain currency pairs like inflation rates, interest rates, government debt, term of trade, political stability of certain countries, recession and many more. Uncertainty in Forex prediction can be reduced with the help of technology by using machine learning. There are many machine learning methods that can be used when predicting Forex. The methods used in this paper are Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Support Vector Regression (SVR). XGBOOST, and ARIMA. The outcome of this paper will be comparison results that show how other major currency pairs have influenced the performance and accuracy of different methods. From the results, it was proven that XGBoost outperformed other models by 0.36% compared to ARIMA model, 4.4% compared to GRU model, 8% compared to LSTM model, 9.74% compared to SVR model. Keywords— Forex Forecasting, Long Short Term Memory, Gated Recurrent Unit, Support Vector Regression, ARIMA, Extreme Gradient Boosting
Analysis of Subthreshold Swing of Symmetric Junctionless Double Gate MOSFET Using Gaussian Doping Profile
Authors:   Department of Electronic Eng., Kunsan National University, Gunsan, South Korea 54150, Jung Hakkee
Published: January 2022

—The variation of subthreshold swing(SS) according to the projected range (Rp ) and standard projected deviation (σp ) was analyzed when the symmetrical junctionless double gate (JLDG) MOSFET was doped with Gaussian doping profile. For this purpose, the analytical SS model was presented. We compared with the TCAD results to turn out the validity of this model, and the SSs of this model agreed with those of TCAD. The effective conduction path and mean doping concentration affecting the SS were analyzed according to the Rp and σp . As a result, the SS increased as the Rp and σp increased simultaneously. The smaller the Rp and the larger the σp , the lower the SS. When Rp = 1.5 nm, it showed the SS below 100mV/dec without being affected by the change of σp or silicon thickness. When σp = 3nm, it was also 100mV/dec or less regardless of the change of Rp and silicon thickness. Keywords— Double gate, Junctionless, Subthreshold swing, Gaussian, Projected range, Standard projected deviation

Medium-voltage motors dedicated to the applications of traction operate in an environment with strong multi-physics constraints. Electrical insulation of these engines is a complex multi-layered impregnated system which requires a given number of steps during the manufacturing process. In the present study, we theoretically investigated the potential manufacturing insulation defects of traction motors in low frequency domain. The aim is to assess the theoretical ability of dielectric spectroscopy method for the detection of these defects and the extension of the method to others insulation systems. The theoretical study is based on numerical modelling and simulation achieved by using Comsol Multiphysics software. In our numerical modelling the properties of the main dielectric elementary materials are frequency–dependent. The identification of each potential defect is carried out by comparing its equivalent capacitance and dissipation loss spectra with the characteristics of insulation without defect. As the results, all artificial defects are identifiable with a specific relative deviation. The detection of all the defects analysed will need a measuring device with resolution of 0.4%. Keywords—AC electric motors, Capacitance, dielectric, dissipation factor, composite insulation, numerical modelling.

Published: January 2022

One of the big problems in the city of Cerro de Pasco is the air pollution caused by the mining activity that occurs in this area, this activity generates a total of 3737 metric tons per year of particulate matter, which are thrown into the environment in an alarming way, thus reaching that this particulate matter can lodge inside the organism of the inhabitants permanently, causing in them diseases in the respiratory system, thus affecting the most vulnerable population, producing in them infections in the respiratory tract that can even carry those to death. Nowadays the teams that carry out the monitoring of air quality are restricted only to the academic and governmental sphere, so much so that the population does not know the degree of air pollution. For this reason, it is proposed to carry out a system to measure the level of air pollution taking as main data, the measurement of particulate matter and the emission of carbon monoxide, the data that can be recovered from these measurements to be able to compare them with the parameters dictated by the Ministry of the Environment. As a result, an autonomous system was obtained, with which the level of particulate matter, possible toxic gases, and the measurement of the level of carbon monoxide can be measured, all these pollutants that could be in the environment, all these measurements are constant, thus leading the population to become aware of the level of quality of the environment where they live.

In December 2019, a series of cases of pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 were identified in Wuhan (China), which was declared by the WHO as a pandemic on March 11th , 2020, because it caused enormous problems for the global public health due to its rapid expansion. In Peru it was only on March 6th , 2020, that the first case of COVID-19 was reported, therefore, the government took some measures to control the spread of the virus. A biosafety measure that is frequently used is taking the temperature with an infrared thermometer, which is not well seen by some specialists due to the error it has, therefore, it would not represent a safe measurement, as other measurement systems do. . In view of this problem, in this article a thermal image processing system was carried out to detect possible cases of patients with COVID-19, in such a way that the system performs a more accurate measurement of body temperature and can be implemented in any place, where this measurement is intended to be carried out, helping to combat the spread of the virus that currently continues to affect many people. Through the development of the system, tests were conducted with various people, obtaining a more accurate measurement of body temperature with an efficiency of 95% at 1 m between the drone and the person, in such a way that if it presents a body temperature above 37°C could be infected with COVID-19.

Image classification is critical and significant research problems in computer vision applications such as facial expression classification, satellite image classification, and plant classification based on images. Here in the paper, the image classification model is applied for identifying the display of daunting pictures on the internet. The proposed model uses Convolution neural network to identify these images and filter them through different blocks of the network, so that it can be classified accurately. The model will work as an extension to the web browser and will work on all websites when activated. The extension will be blurring the images and deactivating the links on web pages. This means that it will scan the entire web page and find all the daunting images present on that page. Then we will blur those images before they are loaded and the children could see them.

Particle Swarm Optimization is a metaheuristics algorithm widely used for optimization problems. This paper presents the research design and implementation of using Particle Swarm Optimization to automate the features selections in the machine learning models for Airbnb price prediction. Today, Airbnb is changing the business models of the hospitality industry globally. While a bigger impact has been given by the Airbnb community to the local economic development of each country, there has been very little effort that investigates on Airbnb pricing issue with machine learning techniques. Focusing on Airbnb Singapore, the main problem on the dataset is the low correlation of the independent variables to the hospitality price. Choosing the best combination of the independent variables is essential, which can be achieved through features selection optimization. Particle Swarm Optimization is useful to optimize the best variables combination for automating the features selection in machine learning models. By comparing the magnitude of change of the R squared values before and after the use of PSO feature selection, the result showed that the automated features selection has improved the results of all the machine learning algorithms mainly in the linear-based machine learning (Linear Regression, Lasso, Ridge).

Published: January 2022

Kurutma farklı sektörlerde kullanılan enerjisi oldukça yoğun bir işlemdir. Ürünlerin hasat edildikten sonra bile solunumları devam ettiği için çok çabuk bozulabilmektedir. Ürünlerin çürümesini engelleyip daha uzun süre kullanımını sağlamak için farklı yöntemler uygulanmakta ve araştırılmaktadır. Kurutmada bu yöntemlerden biridir. Kurutma işlemi en temel anlamıyla ürünlerden nemin uzaklaştırılmasıdır. Geleneksel kurutma yöntemi olan tarımsal ürünlerin güneşte kurutulması çok eski dönemlerden beri uygulanmaktadır. Ancak kullanılan bu yöntem açık havada olması sebebi ile ürünlerde hijyen sorunu oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla ürün kalitesinde ciddi düşüş yaşanmaktadır. Sıcak hava ile tarım ürünlerinin kurutulması işlemi düşük enerji verimine ve uzun kuruma süresine sahip bir yöntem olduğundan yeni teknolojiler araştırılmaktadır. Yapılan birçok çalışmalar sonucunda kurutma işleminde en çok istenilen özellikler; kuruma süresinin kısa olması, kurutma işlemi boyunca enerjinin daha verimli kullanılması, yüksek kalitede ürün üretimine olanak sağlanması, işlem boyunca ihtiyaç duyulan alanın az olması olarak belirlenmiştir ve bunlara uygun sistemler tasarlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada aynı büyüklüklerde dilimlenen 100gr ananasların 45oC sabit sıcaklıktaki ısıtıcıyla ve ortalama 22.7oC oda sıcaklığında kurutma işlemi gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlk günün sonunda 100gr ananastan düzenli aralıklarla ölçümler yapılmış olup 5 günün sonunda kurutulan cismin ağırlığının 12.35gr’a düştüğü, toplamda 87.65gr azaldığı yapılan deneylerle belirlenmiştir. Veriler doğrultusunda kurutma süresi boyunca kurutulan cismin Nem Oranı ve nem içeriği ölçümün yapıldığı her bir saat için ayrı ayrı hesaplanıp grafiğe dökülmüştür.

The methodology was the application of a questionnaire through the Google Forms platform,composed of 16 questions related to the themes addressed in this work directed to fish consumers in the municipalities of Ananindeua, Belém, Benevides, Castanhal, Marituba, Santa Bárbara do Pará and Santa Isabel do Pará. The questionnaire reached a total of 239 people. When asked about the preference in the choice of fish the dourada appears with about 68% as the preferred species for consumption in the BMR. The survey shows that most purchase places for consumption are the neighborhood fairs with 59% of the answers. Most respondents (about 60%) prefer fresh fish as the most sought-after form of conservation. As to the reason for the choice, the main answer obtained was the taste present in 89% of the interviews. Many respondents claimed that they would consume all types of fish, on the other hand, Tamuatá was chosen as the fish that respondents would not eat because it was seen in poor hygiene environments and had a strong flavor and odor. When asked how they learned to identify the fish freshness, 67% of respondents answered that this knowledge came through family teaching, showing that preference is a personal question and is related to the consumer cultural tradition.

A laboratory-based cross-sectional study was conducted among Bingham University undergraduate students, Karu, to investigate the proportion of visual acuity (VA) among the students. The study aimed at investigating an association between head injury with low VA of students whose parent’s use medicated eye glasses. A total of 262 undergraduate students participated in the study. A predesigned, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was filled by the students. Eye examination using the optotype Snellen E Chart followed and the VA of the right (VARE) and left eyes (VALE) were tested separately. A regression and correlation model was used to assess the relationship between head injury and low VA. Head injury at one point of time in their life was strongly associated with low VA for both eyes (VARE, r = 0.524, R2 = 0.274, p = 0.040; VALE, r = 0.0.531, R2 = 0.282 p = 0.010). Parents’ use of medicated eye glasses was also associated with low VA of students (VARE p = 0.009; VALE p < 0.001). Our results showed that students that had any form of head injury at any point in their life either as a child, teenager or an adult, were more likely to have low VA. However, the educational status of parents, anthropometric parameters and ethnicity had no association with low VA. We conclude that any form of head injury, at any point in one’s life, and parent’s use of eye glasses are risk factors for low VA.

Organophosphates are irreversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors with neurological consequences, and there is not yet an effective antidote. Here, we investigated the effects of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) on the ChE inhibition, neurobehavioural and histopathological changes following dichlorvos (DDVP) ingestions in rats. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomised into four groups, receiving 1 ml/kg of normal saline, 8.8 mg/kg of DDVP, 8.8 mg/kg of DDVP and 1 ml/kg of NSO, and 1 ml/kg of NSO only respectively, for 14 consecutive days. Locomotor, anxiety-like behaviours and spatial working memory were assessed on the 14th day, using open field (OF), Y-maze and modified elevated plus maze paradigms. The rats were euthanized on the 15th day and the brains excised; three brains were fixed for histopathology, and the other five prepared for biochemical analysis of acetyl cholinesterase (AChE). DDVP exposure caused significant reductions in frontal, amygdala and cerebella AChE activity, spontaneous alternations, line crossing and rearing frequencies and time in centre square, and caused increase in freezing period, transfer latency and necrotic-like cells. NSO intervention was able to reverse DDVP effects on AChE activities, explorative, locomotor, anxiety and spatial memory behaviours in co-exposed rats. It also preserved the histological integrity of the investigated brain regions. It can be concluded that NSO, may be potent against organophosphates induced neurotoxicity and their neurobehavioural consequences through the modulation of AChE activities.

This study investigated the possible neurobehavioural effects of ethyl acetate extract of Mucuna pruriens (MP) seed in male BALB/c mice. Male BALB/c mice (2½-3 months old) were grouped into 5 (n=6), treated with normal saline (0.1 mL), n-propanol extract of MP (200, 100, 50 mg/kg) or reference drug haloperidol (HP) or diazepam (DZP); thereafter, subjected to diverse behavioural models to evaluate the central nervous system (CNS) effects of the extract. A bolus of MP (200, 100, and 50 mg/kg) decreased the rectal temperature, exploratory activities (locomotion, rearing and grooming), anxiety-like responses (% open-arms time, open-arm entries, and the total number of enclosed arms times). Additionally, a one-shot of intraperitoneal administration of MP decimated the total score of apomorphine-induced stereotyped behaviours. Latency to hexobarbitone-induced sleep increased significantly in the 200 mg/kg MP, unchanged in the 100 mg/kg MP, and decreased in the 50 mg/kg MP treated groups. There was a marked decrease in the markers of convulsion (tonic flexion, extension, clonic convulsion, stupor, and recovery time) following MP treatment, especially the higher doses (200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg). In conclusion, the CNS effects of systemic administration of MP seed are not unrelated to its hypothermic, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant effects.

The study describes the Secured CCSPC Web-Based Student Clearance System's use and predicted effects. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Sublime editor, Bootstrap, and MySQL as the database tool were used to create the clearance system. This system includes two-factor authentication for students and designated offices. In the clearance system, a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for data transit, as well as a software firewall and anti-SQL Injection attack, were offered and implemented. The CCSPC Portal was linked to the web-based student clearance system and Web API, with Web API acting as a bridge between SIMone and the clearance system. SIMone's role is to offer just a limited amount of information on the web-based clearing, such as designated office operations, account status from the Cashier, and student profiles from the Registrar. Students and the approved offices in charge of signing the student clearance include the Graduating Class Association (GCA) Treasurer, Laboratory Custodian, Cashier, Librarian, Academic Related Services (ARS), SPEED Director, Department Chairperson, College Dean, and the Registrar. The ISO 9126-1 International Standard Tool for Software Evaluation, on the other hand, was utilized in the CCSPC beneficiaries' surveys to test the system's effectiveness and reliability.

Published: January 2022

Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital as one of the World heritage monuments on UNESCO’s list was the subject of research. More precisely, the focus was on the architecture and the acoustic characteristics of the hospital built in 1228/1229 by Mengüjeck dynasty, a branch of Anatolian Seljuks. For the analysis purposes, a 3D model of the hospital was created, and the acoustic simulation was conducted. The results of the acoustic analysis show that the architectural characteristics of the hospital fulfill the acoustic standards for the good reception of the sound for the audience, and that it can be concluded that Divriği hospital venue supports the hypothesis of being suitable for the healing purposes. Hospital was designed to support the sound realization and to support the environmental soundscape in conjunction with the sounding makams, which supports the music therapy healing effect. It can be concluded that music therapy had acoustical support in the construction of Anatolian Seljuk hospitals, which have characteristics of concert halls and were built as acoustic (music) venues.

This study made use of developmental-descriptive research. In software development, the Rapid Application Development (RAD) model was used. The system was developed using the n-tier architectural design. Because the developed system will be deployed in the IICS Building, the concerned faculty can be added as secondary users of the system so that they, along with the guard-on-duty, receive notification whenever there is motion detected during the night. A short message service (SMS) support is essential as a communication tool in notifying the room custodian and security guard-on-duty.
The Impact of Ancient Chinese on Baihua Language
Authors:   Candidate of Philological Sciences, Professor Tashkent State University of Oriental Studies Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Karimov Akram
Published: January 2022

This article analyzes the influence of the ancient classical literary language - the Wenyan communication language on the Baihua language. Lexical and grammatical differences are discussed on both fronts of a language. Since the Wenyan language is represented by monosyllabic units, several meanings of a hieroglyph have the property of changing its semantic meaning according to the position of the hieroglyph in the sentence or sentence. It is extremely important to pay attention to this aspect in reading and interpreting ancient texts. The Baihua language, on the other hand, is represented by polysyllabic units, which are much more convenient than the Wenyan language in expressing the semantic meaning of a word. However, the Wenyan language played an important role in the formation of the Baihua language, and to this day some elements of the Wenyan language are also reflected in the Putonghua.

English is a second language to become inseparable and compulsory in every college and university today. To learn a second language, a physical, intellectual and emotional involvement is needed to successfully send and interpret linguistic messages. However, compelling student not majoring in English to lean English as a subject while their jobs-to-be does not need English at all is a prominent reality. The students are forced to study in a stressful condition, therefore they always feel nervous and bored and the results reflects everything. This reality won’t exclude the studying environment in the Preschool Education Faculty in Sai Gon University. In this study, our objective is to investigate the handicap in English studying performance of students in the Preschool Education Faculty in Sai Gon University by pointing out the difficulties presented in the research as well as drawing solutions to fix these problems. We also propose some utilitarian references for related researchers especially aiming at students with low level. We select participating students randomly from among the students of the faculty of Preschool Education in the Saigon University to complete the questionnaire consisting of 10 questions. The students selected are seniors in order to narrow down the field studied. Results indicated that students find difficulties in learning English because of their low level and since English is a compusory subject, they are forced to study, consequently their performance is bad. Also, the results revealed that their teaching career in the future won’t need English, as a result, they are not interested and do not have motivation to study English. These results implicate that academic teachers should build an interesting classtime accompanying with good teaching method. Teachers’ attitude should be friendly so that students are able to immerse and absorb in an interesting class and they will advance in just a blink.
