The objectives of this study were to verify the polymorphism on sex-linked marker loci and to assess their associations with phenotypic sex characteristics in red tilapia. Four sex-linked genetic markers of Amh, SCAR4, SCAR5, and Oni3161 were genotyped in the Thai red tilapia population. The Amh marker was significantly associated with the phenotypic sex of red tilapia with an accuracy of 46.2%. No significant association of SCAR4, SCAR5, and Oni3161 marker polymorphisms with phenotypic sex characteristics was observed in this study. However, the combinations of these two, three, and four markers were increasingly associated with phenotypic sex characteristics for red tilapia with an accuracy of 62.8, 68.4, and 72.4%, respectively. These results indicate that these combined genetic markers were associated with the phenotypic sex of red tilapias. These findings confirmed the importance of these genetic markers as candidate markers for sex determination in the Thai red tilapia population.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors affecting Anaplasma marginale infection of goat farming in Chonburi province, Thailand. A total of 182 samples were collected from clinical services records from the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok. Moreover, the potential risk factors of A. marginale infection, including vectors infestation, barn-types, preventive medicine protocols using vector-control agents and/or deworming programs, and the farming areas were statistically analyzed. The results revealed that 24.7% of goats were positive for A. marginale infection. The Nhong Yai district had the highest infection rate at 34.1% (15/44). The Mueng, Chonburi and Sri Racha district goats were infected at the rate of 27.5% (11/40) and 24.3% (9/37), respectively. The potential significant factors affecting A. marginale infection were vectors infestation (P < 0.01) and preventive medicine protocols using vector-control agents and/or deworming programs (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the vectors infestation increases the chance of A. marginale infection. Conversely, appropriate consistent preventive medical health management by application of vector-control agents and/or deworming programs can reduce the likelihood of infection. Our study could serve as a guideline for prevention planning and for further study of livestock rearing behavior concerning infection of blood parasites in nearby areas

Polo is a high-intensity sport, and the horses who participate in it are known to receive a high workload on their hearts. Having cardiac disorders can impair their athletic performance or even increase the risk of collapsing during the game. In sport horses, murmurs and arrhythmias are commonly-found physiological conditions; nevertheless, many of them are related to heart diseases. Though numerous studies on murmurs and arrhythmias have been done among several kinds of horses, the information in polo horses is still limited. This study was done to investigate the prevalence of murmurs and arrhythmias in performance Argentine polo ponies by field screening with fast and convenient methods. A hundred and ninety-six performance Argentine polo ponies (162 mares and 34 geldings) with ages between 6 – 20 years old were included in this study. Cardiac auscultation with a simple stethoscope was done to detect and grade murmurs, and electrocardiography with an iPhone ECG (electrocardiogram) recorder was done at the same time to find if there were any arrhythmias. The results showed 98 ponies (50%) that probably had cardiac abnormalities, these could be divided into 61 ponies (31.1%) with only murmurs, 18 ponies (9.2%) with only arrhythmias, and 19 ponies (9.7%) with both murmurs and arrhythmias. In conclusion, murmurs and arrhythmias were found frequently by field screening of this study; cardiac examination should not be overlooked, and those ponies with murmurs and/or arrhythmias should be examined further to determine whether they were pathologic or not.

Authors: Moon M. Jae , Cho B. Shine
Published: January 2022

Based on a review of citizenship and citizen participation in politics and policy studies, this article reveals diverse concepts of citizens and citizenship and their changing roles within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that the pandemic will result in bringing citizens back into the policy process, given that active participation of citizens in solving wicked social problems has been emphasised. Our results suggest that the pandemic will result in a return of public citizens as their voluntary, active participation and coproduction practices are expected to increase.
Image blur analysis and elimination algorithm for an MTF test target of a space camera

Published: January 2022

The high-resolution space camera needs to image the fringe target that meets the sampling frequency in the modulation transfer function test. However, blurry regions often appear in the target image, which seriously affects the visual effect and test efficiency. In this paper, by analyzing the imaging process of the rectangle striated target by a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor detector, a moiré fringe blurry degradation model of the target image is proposed. According to the degradation model, it is concluded that there are low blurry degradation regions in the image. Taking the low blurry degradation region as the reference information and the region similarity as the weight, the weighted spatial filtering and mean filtering are carried out to eliminate the blurry band in the target image. The experimental results show that compared with bilinear interpolation and guidance filter, this algorithm can effectively remove the image blur caused by the target periodic error and the angle error. The work in this paper provides a practical tool and theoretical support for subsequent space camera tests.

Hybrid incompatibilities occur when interactions between opposite ancestry alleles at different loci reduce the fitness of hybrids. Most work on incompatibilities has focused on those that are “intrinsic,” meaning they affect viability and sterility in the laboratory. Theory predicts that ecological selection can also underlie hybrid incompatibilities, but tests of this hypothesis using sequence data are scarce. In this article, we compiled genetic data for F2hybrid crosses between divergent populations of threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatusL.) that were born and raised in either the field (seminatural experimental ponds) or the laboratory (aquaria). Because selection against incompatibilities results in elevated ancestry heterozygosity, we tested the prediction that ancestry heterozygosity will be higher in pond-raised fish compared to those raised in aquaria. We found that ancestry heterozygosity was elevated by approximately 3% in crosses raised in ponds compared to those raised in aquaria. Additional analyses support a phenotypic basis for incompatibility and suggest that environment-specific single-locus heterozygote advantage is not the cause of selection on ancestry heterozygosity. Our study provides evidence that, in stickleback, a coarse—albeit indirect—signal of environment-dependent hybrid incompatibility is reliably detectable and suggests that extrinsic incompatibilities can evolve before intrinsic incompatibilities.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) NEAT1 and MALAT1 are differentially expressed in severe COVID-19 patients: An integrated single-cell analysis

Published: January 2022

Hyperactive and damaging inflammation is a hallmark of severe rather than mild Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To uncover key inflammatory differentiators between severe and mild COVID-19, we applied an unbiased single-cell transcriptomic analysis. We integrated two single-cell RNA-seq datasets with COVID-19 patient samples, one that sequenced bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells and one that sequenced peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The combined cell population was then analyzed with a focus on genes associated with disease severity. The immunomodulatory long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) NEAT1 and MALAT1 were highly differentially expressed between mild and severe patients in multiple cell types. Within those same cell types, the concurrent detection of other severity-associated genes involved in cellular stress response and apoptosis regulation suggests that the pro-inflammatory functions of these lncRNAs may foster cell stress and damage. Thus, NEAT1 and MALAT1 are potential components of immune dysregulation in COVID-19 that may provide targets for severity related diagnostic measures or therapy.
Virtual farm tours—Virtual reality glasses and tablets are suitable tools to provide insights into pig husbandry
Authors: Schütz Aurelia , Kurz Katharina , Busch Gesa
Published: January 2022

Apart from improving husbandry conditions and animal welfare, there is a clear public demand to increase transparency in agricultural activities. Personal farm tours have shown to be appreciated by citizens but are limited in their impact because of hygiene requirements and accessibility. Virtual farm tours are a promising approach to overcome these limitations but evidence on their perceptions is missing. This study analyzes how a virtual farm tour is perceived by showing participants (n = 17) a 360-degree video of a conventional pig fattening pen on a tablet and via virtual reality (VR) glasses. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to analyze perceptions and level of immersion and to elicit differences between media devices. Participants’ perception of the pig fattening pen was rather poor and depended on the recording perspective as well as on the media device. However, housing conditions were perceived more positively compared to the image participants had in mind prior to the study, and thus the stable was considered as a rather positive example. Participants described virtual farm tours as suitable tool to improve transparency and information transfer and to gain insights into husbandry conditions. They appreciated the comfortable and entertaining character of both media devices and named various possibilities for implementation. However, VR glasses were favored regarding the higher realistic and entertaining value, while the tablet was considered beneficial in terms of usability. The presentation of video sequences without additional explanations about the farm or the housing conditions were claimed insufficient to give an adequate understanding of the seen content.
Assessment of the quality of sexual and reproductive health services delivered to adolescents at Ujala clinics: A qualitative study in Rajasthan, India
Authors: Dayal Radhika , Gundi Mukta
Published: January 2022

The Adolescent Friendly Health Clinic (AFHCs), a key component of the Government of India’s National Adolescent Health Programme a.k.a. Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK), aims to increase the accessibility and utilization of sexual-reproductive health services by adolescents and youth. However, low quality of care provided at AFHCs by counsellors calls for attention. We, thus, explore both the clients’ and providers’ perspectives using the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global standards for quality health-care services for adolescents to assess the quality of the sexual reproductive health service delivery at AFHCs in Rajasthan, India. We conducted a qualitative study, comprising observation of the service delivery using mystery clients (MCs) (n = 12) and in-depth interviews with the counsellors (n = 4) in four AFHCs. Interviews were transcribed in local language and were translated in English. The transcripts were coded thematically. Our study, using five of the eight WHO global standards for quality health-care services for adolescents highlighted several gaps in the quality-of-service delivery at AFHCs. We unearth various intricacies related to the quality of the services provided at the AFHCs by referring to the relevant input, process, and the output criteria of WHO global standards I, III, IV, V and VI. Our study calls for efforts to improve- (i) the counsellors’ competencies to increase adolescents’ health literacy on sensitive topics, (ii) the facilities at the clinic to ensure privacy, comfort and confidentiality of the adolescents seeking services, (iii) the referrals to improve appropriate package of services, and (iv) an overall environment to ensure an equity and non-discrimination for all the adolescents. Our findings unearth the barriers that both the service providers and the adolescents face at the AFHCs and underscore the need for regular monitoring and evaluation of the AFHCs to strengthen the facility-based intervention of the RKSK programme.
The circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is down-regulated in dogs with glomerular diseases compared to other chronic kidney diseases with low-grade proteinuria
Authors: Grandt Lisa-Maria , Schweighauser Ariane , Kovacevic Alan , Francey Thierry
Published: January 2022

Glomerular diseases (GD) lead to a variety of disorders of the vascular and the total body water volumes. Various pathomechanisms, including vascular underfill and overfill, have been suggested to explain these disturbances. Accordingly, the circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (cRAAS) is expected to be activated as either a cause or a result of these fluid disorders. The aim of this study was to characterize the activity of the cRAAS in dogs with GD and to evaluate its relationship with the vascular volume status. In a prospective study, we evaluated the plasma renin activity and the serum aldosterone concentration in 15 dogs with GD. Their fluid volume status was estimated with clinical variables reflecting volemia and hydration, echocardiographic volume assessment, N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide, blood urea nitrogen:creatinine ratio, and the urinary fractional excretion of sodium. Ten dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with matching degree of azotemia were recruited as controls. The activity of the cRAAS was low in 10 dogs, normal in 3 dogs, high in 1 dog and equivocal (high renin—low aldosterone) in 1 dog with GD. These dogs had a lower cRAAS activity than dogs with CKD (p = 0.01). The clinical evaluation showed 8 hypovolemic and 7 non-hypovolemic dogs; 3 dehydrated, 9 euhydrated and 3 overhydrated dogs. The cRAAS activity was not different between hypovolemic and non-hypovolemic dogs. The down-regulated cRAAS without obvious association with the clinical volume status of these dogs with GD, suggests different mechanisms of fluid volume dysregulation in dogs with GD than previously assumed. This finding however should be confirmed in a focused larger scale study, as it may influence the use of cRAAS blockers as part of the standard therapy of GD in dogs.

Authors: Sádaba Charo , Feijoo Beatriz
Published: January 2022

Entretenerse es una de las prioridades que los menores buscan satisfacer en internet, también a través de sus teléfonos móviles. A esta necesidad que tradicionalmente han cubierto otros medios, responde el entorno digital con nuevas fórmulas que combinan entretenimiento con otros intereses, como los comerciales. Esta publicidad híbrida parece encontrar un buen acomodo entre los juegos online y los contenidos generados por influencers, destinos preferidos por los menores hoy en sus pautas de navegación. A través de una metodología cualitativa, con entrevistas a 20 menores del Área Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile, se busca comprobar en qué medida las preguntas planteadas por la investigación previa sobre este tema se validan. Entre los resultados destaca que, efectivamente, las comunicaciones de marca están presentes de manera clara en las experiencias de entretenimiento online de los más pequeños, que se muestran particularmente receptivos cuando aportan un valor añadido y sienten que las controlan. La familiaridad generada por los influencers con su audiencia también hace que los menores vean las comunicaciones comerciales de manera relajada. Esto plantea preguntas relevantes sobre si la alfabetización publicitaria de este grupo de edad está a la altura de los retos que plantea este escenario.
Los influencers virtuales como líderes de opinión y su empleo en técnicas en comunicación política
Authors: Rodrigo-Martín Isabel , Muñoz-Sastre Daniel , Rodrigo-Martín Luis
Published: January 2022

En la actualidad los medios de comunicación tradicionales han perdido seguidores en favor de los contenidos a la carta y de las redes sociales. Este es el principal motivo por el que los inluencers se han convertido en los líderes de opinión del siglo XXI. Sin embargo, las marcas han detectado un enfrentamiento entre las acciones pagadas o patrocinadas de los influencers en las redes sociales con su comportamiento habitual dentro de su día a día. Esto ha llevado a las agencias de publicidad y a las marcas a buscar soluciones, creando los llamados influencers Virtuales. Se trata de avatares creados gracias a la realidad aumentada, y que en los últimos meses están ganando terreno a los influencers tradicionales entre el público más joven. Con esta nueva forma de comunicación, las marcas lanzan los mensajes en forma de cápsulas informativas lo que nos permitirá concluir que las estrategias de comunicación se encuentran mucho más controladas. Nuestra investigación considera pertinente utilizar una metodología multimétodo que consta principalmente del uso de la investigación científica cualitativa y cuantitativa para conseguir analizar estas estrategias comunicativas y sus posibilidades comerciales en el actual contexto digital

La Publicidad se halla en un proceso de redefinición continuo en sus formas de comunicación. El cambio de paradigma digital, la revolución transmedia, el Big Data o el viraje de consumidores a prosumidores son aspectos que la comunicación en publicidad debe afrontar. Debido a unos canales cada vez más amplios y procesos de interacción progresivamente más complejos con sus públicos, las acciones de posicionamiento y diferenciación a partir del contenido de marca, son esenciales. Este texto explora una de las dimensiones específicas del Branded Content a partir de la propuesta y validación de un modelo de análisis narrativo adaptado y aplicada a la planificación y creación del relato publicitario o Brand Story centrando el foco en el caso de estudio de Aprendemos juntos de BBVA. Los resultados obtenidos permiten validar el modelo analítico y contrastarlo además con información obtenida de la entrevista en profundidad realizada a una de los responsables de la campaña Los resultados indican la necesidad de crear contenido de calidad basado en la utilidad y en los valores sociales que exige nuestro entorno, así como la importancia de crear vínculos “reales” con los públicos para conseguir la interacción con ellos y, finalmente, un verdadero engagement con la marca.

El branded content se ha impuesto como una de las estrategias creativas de las marcas más eficaces para lograr un contacto cómplice con sus públicos. Las exigencias del panorama comunicativo actual han obligado a los anunciantes a apostar por la creatividad para ofrecer contenidos de valor que involucren al target en la construcción misma de la marca. El propósito de esta investigación es identificar y explicar los atributos creativos del branded content mediante una metodología cualitativa. Para ello, se ha diseñado un modelo de registro analítico, fundamentado en teorías previas, que se ha aplicado a una muestra constituida por las 23 piezas galardonadas con un gran premio y/o un oro en el Festival “El Sol” durante sus últimas seis ediciones. Los resultados permiten delinear un patrón creativo de éxito en las estrategias de branded content, que ha permanecido estable en los últimos años, y responde a contenidos con objetivos afectivos, a menudo apoyados en matices comportamentales y/o cognitivos; insights que combinan, principalmente, aspectos emocionales y culturales, y que articulan promesas en forma de beneficios para el consumidor; argumentaciones emocionales; tonos cercanos y empáticos que utilizan formatos como el storytelling o la analogía; y conceptos indirectos para transmitir las promesas.
Deixis de interfaz o cómo mejorar la redacción publicitaria en internet
Authors: Pallarés-i-Maiques Majo
Published: January 2022

Cada vez más disciplinas se fijan en cómo usamos el lenguaje. También la publicidad que hoy necesita generar contenidos más conversables. Este artículo parte de un estudio sobre el uso de la deixis en la redacción publicitaria en internet. La deixis es un fenómeno lingüístico característico de la conversación presencial. Ese trabajo muestra que los anuncios más dialogantes -con más deixis- son mejor valorados. Por otro lado, que la clasificación de la deixis según el referente señalado sigue admitiendo discusión. Más allá de las deixis de persona, lugar y tiempo, la taxonomía varía, según autores, con la incorporación o exclusión de categorías como discurso, manera, cortesía o grado. El corpus estudiado mediante una adaptación de la lexicometría se compone de los textos de 24 anuncios para internet que concursaron en el Festival el Sol. Como aportación principal, este artículo presenta la deixis de interfaz que se revela no solo como definitoria y necesaria en la redacción publicitaria en internet, sino como coadyuvante para conseguir premios. Igualmente, surge la evidencia de que, en internet, los patrones de uso de la deixis son sensiblemente diferentes a los de la conversación presencial, los de otros entornos y los de otros tipos de discurso.
Ambiciones académicas [Editorial]
Authors: Tur-Viñes Victoria
Published: January 2022

La ambición, en su justa medida, permite alcanzar retos, activa la consecución de metas y posibilita mejoras. La baja ambición supone conformidad con la mediocridad, nada deseable. Pero la alta ambición puede generar un coste demasiado elevado en el proceso de obtención del reto. Ese deseo intenso, cargado de emociones, que orienta la consecución de objetivos difíciles de alcanzar puede ser gestionado de formas muy distintas. La justa medida, el perfecto equilibrio es, en sí mismo, el verdadero reto. Sentir el impulso de la consecución del reto como motivación y medir las consecuencias del camino que hay que atravesar, conociendo los límites de lo aceptable, empieza a ser un arte. Ambición, mentira y traición suelen ser compañeras de viaje. En aras de la ambición, se legitima la mentira porque facilita rutas cortas de acceso al reto anhelado. La traición, que se alimenta de la deslealtad, distorsiona los dilemas morales (aquellos que nos conectan con la esencia de lo humano), aligera el proceso previo a la consecución y filtra los agradecimientos debidos. Una versión terrenal de Juego de Tronos o una actualizada de Macbeth.
The Concept of "Women's Rights" and Constitutional Freedom of Labor: Terminology Clarifications and Implementation Problems
Authors: Golovinov Alexandr , Golovinova Yulia
Published: January 2022

The publication is aimed at defining the essence of the concept of "women's rights". The article shows that the concept of “women's rights” is widely used in the system of normative legal acts in Russia. The domestic legislator, resolutely opposing gender asymmetry, understands the rights of women as a system of integral and inalienable rights, freedoms and obligations for every woman, girl, adolescent girl, regardless of her age, citizenship, race, ethnic or religious affiliation.

Using hermeneutic tools, an attempt is made to show the content and problems of the implementation of the labor rights of females. The article emphasizes that horizontal segregation develops under the influence of many factors due to the mentality and preference of various types of activities for men and women. Ultimately, women in general end up with lower income jobs.

The authors found that the problems in Russia are the separation of professions into "male" and "female", which entails different wages; the feminization of poverty and unemployment; horizontal professional mobility for women. The increasing number of appeals associated with the violation of the socio-economic rights of women and their making the most of their labor potential become the subject of justice, in particular of constitutional justice in the Russian Federation.
Terminology Analysis of the Categories "Insolvency" and "Bankruptcy": criminal law aspect
Authors: Korennaya Anna
Published: January 2022

In May 2021, the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation adopted in the first reading a draft law On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)" and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" (in terms of reforming the institution of bankruptcy). This draft law provides for the differentiation of the concepts of "insolvency" and "bankruptcy". After analyzing the proposed changes, the author of the work came to the conclusion that the differentiation of the concepts under consideration is based on the content of the economic category and is justified, but requires an unconditional change in the criminal law on liability for crimes in the field of insolvency (bankruptcy) and unification of the terms contained in them with regulatory legislation.
The Margins of Late Medieval London, 1430-1540
Authors: Berry Charlotte
Published: January 2022

The Margins of Late Medieval London is a powerful study of medieval London’s urban fringe. Seeking to unpack the complexity of urban life in the medieval age, this volume offers a detailed and novel approach to understanding London beyond its institutional structures. Using a combination of experimental digital, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the volume casts new light on urban life at the level of the neighbourhood and considers the differences in economy, society and sociability which existed in different areas of a vibrant premodern city. It focuses on the dynamism and mobility that shaped city life, integrating the experiences of London’s poor and migrant communities and how they found their place within urban life. It describes how people found themselves marginalized in the city, and the strategies they would employ to mitigate that precarious position.
Heat Transfer Modelling and Simulation of a 120 mm Smoothbore Gun Barrel During Interior Ballistics
Authors: Susantez Cigdem , Caldeira Aldelio Bueno
Published: January 2022

Understanding the heat transfer phenomenon during interior ballistics and consequently presenting a realistic model is very important to predict the temperature distribution inside the cannon barrel, which influences the gun wear and the cook-off. The objective of this work is to present a new detailed numerical model for the prediction of thermal behaviour of a cannon barrel by combining PRODAS interior ballistics simulation with COMSOL simulation. In this study, a numerical model has been proposed for the heating behaviour of a 120 mm smoothbore cannon barrel, taking into account the combustion equation of the JA-2 propellant. Temperature dependent thermophysical properties of product gases were used for the calculation of the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the barrel. Projectile position, velocity of the projectile, gas temperature inside the barrel, volume behind the projectile and mass fraction during interior ballistics have been obtained by PRODAS software and used in the numerical model performed by COMSOL multiphysics finite element modelling and simulation software. Temperature simulations show that maximum wall temperature inside the cannon barrel is observed after 3 ms from fire, when maximum value of the convective heat transfer coefficient inside the barrel is observed. The results reveal that the convective heat transfer coefficient of burned gases inside the gun has major effect than the burned gas temperature on the heat transfer phenomenon.
Error Estimation of Measured Exhaust Gas Temperature in Afterburner Mode in an Aero Gas Turbine Engine
Authors: George Benny , Muthuveerappan N.
Published: January 2022

In a turbofan engine, thrust is a key parameter which is measured or estimated from various parameters acquired during engine testing in an engine testbed. Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is the most critical parameter used for thrust calculation. This work presents a novel way to measure and correct the errors in EGT measurement. A temperature probe is designed to measure EGT in the engine jet pipe using thermocouples. The temperature probe is designed to withstand the mechanical and temperature loads during the operation. Structural analysis at the design stage provided a strength margin of 90% and eigenfrequency margin of more than 20%. Thermal analysis is carried out to evaluate maximum metal temperature. Errors are quite high in high-temperature measurements which are corrected using the available methodologies. The velocity error, conduction error, and radiation error are estimated for the measured temperature. The difference of 97 K between the measured gas temperature and calculated gas temperature from measured thrust is explained. The estimated velocity error is 1 K, conduction error is 3 K, and radiation error is 69 K. Based on the error estimation, the measurement error is brought down to 24 K. After applying the above corrections, the further difference of 24 K between measured and estimated value can be attributed to thermocouple error of +/-0.4% of the reading for class 1 accuracy thermocouple, other parameter measurement errors, and analysis uncertainties. The present work enables the designer to calculate the errors in high-temperature measurement in a turbofan engine.
Object Detection using Particle Swarm Optimisation and Kalman Filter to Track Partially occluded Targets
Authors: Singh Himanshu , Pant Millie , Khare Sudhir
Published: January 2022

Motion estimation, object detection, and tracking have been actively pursued by researchers in the field of real time video processing. In the present work, a new algorithm is proposed to automatically detect objects using revised local binary pattern (m-LBP) for object detection. The detected object was tracked and its location estimated using the Kalman filter, whose state covariance matrix was tuned using particle swarm optimisation (PSO). PSO, being a nature inspired algorithm, is a well proven optimization technique. This algorithm was applied to important real-world problems of partially-occluded objects in infrared videos. Algorithm validation was performed by realizing a thermal imager, and this novel algorithm was implemented in it to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more efficient and produces better results in motion estimation for partially-occluded objects. It is also shown that track convergence is 56% faster in the PSO-Kalman algorithm than tracking with Kalman-only filter.
Кто верит в теории заговора? Факторы склонности к конспирологическому мышлению в России, Казахстане и Украине

Конспирологическое мышление имеет значительное число негативных эффектов: снижает политическое участие и доверие к науке, ухудшает отношение к правительству, препятствует благоприятному и безопасному для здоровья поведению и т.д. Особенно остро проблема распространения теорий заговора встала в контексте пандемии COVID-19. По этой причине важно понимать, кто именно оказывается наиболее подвержен воздействию подобного контента.
В данном исследовании на материалах трех стран — России, Казахстана и Украины — проанализированы факторы, влияющие на склонность к конспирологическому мышлению. Сбор данных проводился методом опроса пользователей социальных сетей Facebook и «ВКонтакте» в период с 13 апреля по 19 мая 2020 г. Сделан вывод, что наиболее подвержены теориям заговора люди с низкими уровнями образования, генерализированного доверия и одобрения действующей власти. Кроме того, большую предрасположенность к конспирологическому мышлению продемонстрировали более старшие респонденты. Влияние пола значимо в Украине и Казахстане: в этих странах мужчины менее подвержены теориям заговора. Интересно, что конспирологические убеждения более характерны для людей, получающих информацию преимущественно по телевидению; влияние потребления новостей из блогов и агрегаторов оказалось обратным.

Нужна ли красная таблетка: гидроксихлорокиновые войны в «Твиттере»
Authors: Овчинникова Ирина Германовна , Ермакова Лиана Магдановна , Нурбакова Диана Магдановна
Published: January 2022

В статье обсуждается возникновение дезинформации о лечении COVID-19 в англоязычном «Твиттере» в период научной и общественной дискуссии об эффективности препарата гидроксихлорокин для лечения заболевания. Анализируется непосредственное и опосредованное влияние медиаперсон на распространение дезинформации о COVID-19 в сети. В коллекции из 10 млн твитов, опубликованных с 30 марта по 13 июля 2020 г., обнаружено 1 356 информационных каскадов. Выявлен список персон, вовлеченных в активное обсуждение лечения COVID-19 в информационных каскадах. Наиболее популярными источниками медицинских сведений для пользователей «Твиттера» являются сообщения политиков. При обсуждении твитов политиков формируются глубокие каскады, в которых искажается содержание исходного твита и нагнетается эмоциональность. По результатам семантического и дискурсивного анализа определены причины искажения достоверных медицинских сведений и возникновения дезинформации, распространяемой пользователями, комментирующими твиты медиаперсон. Установлено, что медицинская информация искажается в информационных каскадах благодаря комментариям пользователей. К искажению медицинской информации в каскадах приводят смешение терминов, подмена логических связей ассоциативными, опущение существенных деталей, неоправданное обобщение, преувеличение значимости ссылок на личный опыт. Важной причиной искажения информации является политизация и поляризация обсуждения лечения COVID-19.
Влияние новых информационно-коммуникационных технологий на гражданский и политический активизм: «линии напряжения» дискуссионного поля
Authors: Ахременко Андрей Сергеевич , Бродовская Елена Викторовна
Published: January 2022

В статье представлены «линии напряжения» в научных дискуссиях, посвященных влиянию информационно-коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ) на трансформацию гражданского и политического активизма, в том числе в их проекции на материалы тематического номера журнала. Скорость развития интернета и мобильных технологий настолько высока, а общественно-политические эффекты этого процесса столь многообразны, что это порождает противоречия в оценках современных исследователей. В статье раскрываются такие дискуссионные линии, как эффекты сильных и слабых связей в цифровых коммуникациях интернет-пользователей, вопросы конвергенции формальных структур реальной среды и неформальных структур виртуального пространства, противопоставления традиционного и цифрового гражданского активизма и др.
Эти линии дискуссий порождают сопутствующие вопросы научной повестки. Привносят ли ИКТ новое качество в структуры мотивации гражданского и политического активизма? Стимулируют ли они последние за счет снижения издержек коммуникации или переводят их в русло наименее «затратных» и рискованных форм, порождая массовый слактивизм? Способствуют ли ИКТ расширению гражданского диалога за счет вовлечения более широкого спектра индивидов (а следовательно, и мнений) или ведут к фрагментации, появлению «замкнутых циркуляций» мнений внутри эхо-камер?
Анализ ответов на поставленные вопросы позволил сделать несколько заключений. Перспективным трендом в научной дискуссии вокруг влияния ИКТ на трансформацию гражданского/политического активизма станет переход от уровня анализа «или/или» к уровню «и/и», то есть эволюция от противопоставления эффектов к пониманию их многообразия и связанных с ними контекстов. Более востребованными будут эмпирические стратегии, работающие как с реальной, так и с цифровой средами, в последнем случае — с использованием больших данных. Эффективное построение таких стратегий может быть в значительной мере обеспечено методами математического и численного моделирования.

Отношение к мигрантам: мнения и сомнения россиян
Authors: Монусова Галина Алексеевна
Published: January 2022

Данное исследование акцентирует внимание на отношении россиян к мигрантам, которое измеряется через согласие/несогласие индивида позволить людям разной этнической принадлежности переезжать жить в нашу страну. На базе данных Европейского социального обследования (ESS) за 2006—2018 гг. проведен анализ, результаты которого свидетельствуют о том, что толерантность к мигрантам тесно связана, с одной стороны, с уровнем образования индивидов, а с другой — с его системой взглядов на окружающий социальный мир, которая может строиться как на иррациональных предубеждениях и страхах, так и на рациональном мышлении, научном знании и вере в себя. Если индивид воспринимает мир настороженно, склонен к предубеждениям и страхам, никому не доверяет и считает, что его окружает несправедливость, то высока вероятность неприятия и отторжения мигрантов. В то же время самодостаточность и вера в собственные силы будут сопровождаться большей толерантностью ко всему малоизвестному, включая выходцев из других стран.

Die Auswirkungen der Pflegepersonaluntergrenzen-Verordnung auf die Neurologische Frührehabilitation PhaseB
Authors: Platz Th. , Dohle Ch. , Mokrusch Th. , Wallesch C.-W.
Published: January 2022

The effects of the nursing staff regulation on neurological early rehabilitation The German government has issued a regulation to define the minimal number of qualified nurses per shift in neurological early rehabilitation wards. This does not take into account ward specialization or the vertical organization of nursing, integrating staff in other departments. The German Society for Neurorehabilitation performed a survey among its members in February 2020 to find out which measures hospitals are taking to comply with this new regulation.
Einfluss von Fatigue und kognitiven Einschränkungen auf die Inanspruchnahme von Gesundheitsleistungen, Arbeitsleistung und Lebensqualität (Utility)

Influence of fatigue and cognitive impairment on the use of health services, work performance and quality of life (utility): A study with 5,475 patients with multiple sclerosis in Germany Introduction: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience a number of neurological problems beyond the general outcome measures of relapses and disability that can independently affect costs and quality of life. Objectives: To investigate the effect of self-assessed fatigue and subjective cognitive impairment on direct healthcare consumption, work participation and utility in Germany. Methods: The study included 5,475 participants and investigated – in addition to all resource consumption – fatigue, cognitive impairment and the effect of MS while at work using visual analogue scales (VAS 0–10). The analysis controlled for gender, age, disease duration, education, disability, and use of disease-modifying treatments. Results: The level of fatigue and cognitive impairment was significantly and independently correlated with all resource utilisation, workforce participation and utility (p<0.0001). For each VAS point increase in severity, the probability of working was reduced by 10.6% for cognitive impairment and 4.9% for fatigue, while utility decreased by 0.03 for each point. Work hours decreased in linear fashion with each point of increasing severity for both symptoms, while sick leave increased accordingly. Both symptoms significantly affected productivity at work. Conclusions: The effect of fatigue and impaired cognition on work capacity has been shown in an international study, but demonstrating their effect on resource consumption requires a large single-country sample. This German analysis demonstrates their effect on all economic resources, both direct and indirect.
