Double trouble: A case of double seropositive myasthenia gravis
Authors: Anandan Somarajan , Rajendran Sajeesh S , Shajee Divine S , Kumar Jyothish P
Published: October 2024

Eighty percent of patients with myasthenia gravis have acetyl choline receptor antibody (AChRAb) and 6% have antibody to muscle specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK). MuSK myasthenia is characterised by prominent bulbar muscle involvement, rapid progression to myasthenic crisis, poor response to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (ACEI), intravenous immunoglobulin, standard immunosuppressant therapies and thymectomy. Presence of both AChRAb and MuSK antibody in same patient is a rare occurrence-Double Sero Positive Myasthenia Gravis (DSP-MG). DSP-MG has a variable prognosis as some patients behave like AChRAb MG while rest behave like MuSK MG. Here we describe a patient with DSP-MG who presented with generalized myasthenia gravis who responded to ACEI.

Published: October 2024

This work evaluated maize anatomy and physiology, under waterlogging, interacting or not with Typha domingensis at different phosphorus concentrations. Plants were transplanted to pots containing vermiculite waterlogged by a nutrient solution of different phosphorus concentration (0, 12.4, 24.8 mg P L-1) interacting or alone. The gas exchange parameters were analysed, leaves and roots collected and prepared accordingly to the usual methods of plant microtechnique. The slides were mounted and prepared for evaluation in an image analysis software. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 3 x 2, and data were submitted to analysis of variance by Scott-Knott test for 5% probability. The presence of T. domingensis decreased root aerenchyma proportion and increased the gas exchange parameters, stomatal size and root apoplastic barriers under 24.8 mg P L-1. The intercropping is favourable under 24.8 mg P L-1.

Receptive and productive activity of non-professional Internet discourse participants
Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Savelyeva Irina V. , Mel’nik Natalya V. ,   Kemerovo State University
Published: October 2024

The paper examines the non-professional Internet discourse generated by the authors of Internet comments. It is viewed through the prism of the categories of intentionality, as characteristics of a text that has the capacity to express one or another intention of its author, and as communicative intentions realised by a person who simultaneously plays two communicative roles: the reader and the author. The textual data demonstrate that in Internet commenting, an unprofessional personality implements both reception and production within one text unit. The implementation of these global intentions of non-professional Internet discourse is carried out at different levels: syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. The analysis of textual markers of receptive and productive intentions allows us to establish patterns in their implementation through three main text types: cohesion, diffusion and overlapping. Each of the text types has several variants. Remarkably, when generating a text according to the cohesion model, the authors of the comments consistently and explicitly demonstrate the transition from reception to production, as indicated by discursive words, marking the syntactic organization of the commentary. A more complex variant of the implementation of reception and production within the same Internet text is the text type called “diffusion”. In this model, reception and production are realized simultaneously, due to the closely intertwined markers of reaction and production in the text at the levels of syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Reception is established at the level of non-linear text liaisons as well as semantic and pragmatic characteristics of an Internet comment. In the third model, reception and products are realized using the same textual means. Therefore, the specified text type is called ”overlapping”. In the commentary constructed according to the overlapping principle, the receptive and productive activity of a non-professional personality is explicated at the level of vertical connections of the text and its contextual characteristics. A quantitative analysis of text types according to the selected criteria shows that in Russian-language discourse, the most common variant of the implementation of reception and products is cohesion. The diffusion model is more often presented in English-language discourse. In general, the dual communicative status of the authors of Internet comments was revealed in 19.5% of English-language texts and 27.4% of Russianlanguage texts. The prospects of the study include conducting a longitudinal experimental study of the intentionality of non-professional Internet discourse.
The chase experience: narrative speed and rhythm in contemporary forking-path narratives
Authors:   HSE University, Shulyatyeva Dina V.
Published: October 2024

The article examines the issues of narrative speed and rhythm in contemporary forking-path narratives and narrative devices that enable to create a fastpaced experience for the reader. Forking-path narratives represent events that could only have happened to the hero, but did not happen within the narrative world. They are becoming increasingly common in contemporary fiction (P. Auster, P. Roth, K. Atkinson, B. Giraud). Despite the differences in plot, these narratives are unique in that they offer the reader a sense of high-speed movement through the story. Such an experience can be shaped by the representation of physical movement in the narrative, by the predominance of “summaries” and “ellipses” over “pauses” and “scenes” (in terms of G. Genette), by the alternation of "showing" and "telling", by an increase in the number of “turning points” and their predominance over “fillers” (according to Fr. Moretti), by reducing the “virtual” events and increasing the “actual” ones (according to M.-L. Ryan), as well as by using the “multiplication” and “subtraction” modes (according to K. Hume). But narrative speed can also be considered in an enactivist perspective – such an attempt (in addition to the previous tradition) is also made in the article. In this case, a fast-paced experience is formed by creating an indirect contact of the reader with the events taking place in the narrative: this experience is only enhanced and complemented by rhythmic techniques. If the creation of speed is based on the principle of difference (change), then the creation of rhythm is based on the principle of repetition. Their simultaneous impact enables the reader to establish bodily-mimetic relationships with the narrative, which characterize his/her experience when interacting with this type of narratives. At the same time, the specificity of this type of narratives becomes the predominance of the virtual over the actual: and in this case, the virtual, slowing down the narrative speed, paradoxically forms a high-speed experience for the reader.

Published: October 2024

This paper elaborates the importance of the economic set of indicators relevant for assessing natural gas supply options, as a part of the multi criteria decision making (MCDM) method. Such an approach is a useful tool for decision makers. Thus, the paper is not only dealing with economic indicators arising from investment and other types of costs, but it mostly focuses on macroeconomic environment and macroeconomic preconditions strongly related to energy infrastructure. MCDM is firstly utilized to calculate the indicator’s weighting factors, and further, regression analyses are performed in terms of identifying interdependencies among the indicators.

Published: October 2024

The proliferation of the internet has helped many businesses to attract potential customers from traditional to the online channel. The customers’ decision making on the online channel is affected by various factors such as other customer reviews, website quality, and property characteristics as well as customers personal profile. In this context, this study investigates the role of online customer reviews and key elements of the reviews page, particularly the elements that are poorly investigated in previous, as well as property characteristics in customers’ online hotel booking decision. A conceptual model has been proposed to measure the impact of these factors on customers decision making. The model is empirically tested with a data obtained from customers of booking.com having various backgrounds and nationalities. Structural Equation Modelling using SmartPLS 3.2 has been used to test the relationships in the suggested model. The results show a significant impact of online review factors such as filters, quality, quantity, recency, valence along with property characteristics on customers booking decision. The study also confirms the moderating effects of Gender and Travel Purpose on some of the proposed relationships in the conceptual model. The paper concludes by mentioning the limitations and recommendations for future work as well as implications for the academicians and managers.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Moskalenko Olga , Khanadeev Vladislav ,   Saratov State University
Published: October 2024

The aim of the work is an analysis of characteristics of intermittent behavior taking place near the boundary of generalized synchronization in unidirectionally coupled time-delayed generators. The case of interaction of systems characterized by different numbers of positive Lyapunov exponents is considered. To determine the lengths of characteristic phases of the system behavior the auxiliary system method has been used. The result of the work is the determination of the type of intermittency taking place near the boundary of generalized synchronization. In this case by calculation the statistical characteristics of the laminar phase lengths (distributions of the laminar phase lengths and the dependencies of the mean lengths of the laminar phases on the criticality parameters) it has been found that near the boundary of the synchronous regime the on-off intermittency is observed. It has been shown that the intermittent generalized synchronization in time-delayed systems is characterized by multistability. For these purposes a time-averaged measure of multistability depending on the value of the coupling parameter between systems has been calculated and compared with the behavior of the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents. It has been found that the multistability measure can be used to detect the generalized synchronization in time-delayed systems.

Published: October 2024

European Health Union. Health is an area in which the European Union has so far had little competence, enshrined in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. For many years, it has provided financial and coordinating support for some of the activities in this area. Most of the activities and solutions were thus carried out at Member State level. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in public health and its prevention increased. The purpose of this chapter is to identify and characterise the health-related instruments that have been put in place under the current financial perspective 2021–2027 and as the post-pandemic reaction instruments, the application of which can improve both the response to future pandemic or epidemiological threats and access to healthcare for EU citizens. The latter is particularly relevant, given the key issues of quality of life and citizens wellbeing, the potential to improve health and save lives of the EU population. The following analytical methods were used: critical assessment of literature, reports, communications, law, and statistical data as well as participatory observation in forums of policy makers and health policy experts. The main finding is that a new “body”, namely the European Health Union (EHU) was created in reaction to the needs of citizens and businesses operating in the area of health expressed during the pandemic. It was characterised in the course of the paper, including its components related to cancer, mental health and reforms comprising pharmaceutical law and strategy. Instruments supporting each of the EHU components were also identified showing the complexity and diversity of many of them, as well as bigger involvement of the EU in the area of health compared to the previous years. Avenues for further research were also pointed out in the concluding part of the chapter.

The article is devoted to some problems of the legal regime of undocumented securities, as well as the legal regulation of rights to undocumented securities and their protection. The question of their special legal nature is still relevant, since these features are not always taken into account both in law-making and in judicial activity, which causes certain problems in judicial practice and in the implementation of legal norms. The authors show that despite the reform of civil legislation in the field of legal regulation of securities, new gaps and conflicts remain and have arisen. The authors consider the problems of the possibility of applying to undocumented securities the rules of civil legislation on property rights; ways to protect the holders of undocumented securities in terms of the conflict of legal norms enshrined, on the one hand, by the Law on Joint Stock Companies, the Law on the Securities Market and, on the other hand, Chapter 7 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Solutions to these problems are proposed.

The Legal Status of Public Subjects in the Russian Civil Procedure
Authors:   Acting Head of the Department of Procedural Law of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Mikhaylova Ekaterina V.
Published: October 2024

The grounds for endowing public law entities with the procedural status of a party to a case in civil and arbitration proceedings are investigated. The author proceeds from the fundamental idea that only participants in a disputed material legal relationship can act as parties to the civil process. Accordingly, persons who do not have the status of a subject of civil law cannot participate in civil and arbitration proceedings as a party. When deciding on the issue of granting the status of a party to a public legal entity, the courts need to proceed from their alleged connection with the dispute, civil legal personality, and the nature of the interest. Attention is also focused on the restriction of freedom in the disposal of the disputed right in cases involving public entities; when approving settlement agreements concluded between a private legal entity and a public entity, the courts need to check whether these agreements violate public interests (the interests of an unlimited number of persons).
Genesis of the Abuse of Right Concept: The Proprietary Aspect (on the Example of the Roman Legal Tradition)
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the M.M. Speransky Law Faculty of the Institute of Law and National Security of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Butsan Evgeny Yu.
Published: October 2024

The concept of abuse of right is being adapted in many areas of private law, including property law. At the same time, such adaptation was not originally characteristic of the abstract institution of abuse of law but developed genetically. The beginnings of the concept of abuse of law can be traced in the Roman legal tradition, which became the cradle of all modern institutions of private law. On the basis of Roman legal tradition and the absolute nature of property rights, the situation of the irrelevance of the concept of abuse of rights is traced due to the lack of competition of owners in the slave-owning formation. The theorization of the sphere of property law gave an impetus to the development of the concept of abuse of property law.

The article discusses the problems of timely detection of signs of deviant and delinquent behavior in minors. Attention is paid to the consideration of the causes and factors contributing to the formation of such behavior, as well as the characteristics of its typical manifestations. Since in order to prevent the tendency to illegal acts in minors, it is necessary to study and understand the specifics of their deviant behavior, the causes of deviation, the authors proposed the main methods of preventing delinquent behavior in minors at various stages of their criminalization.

Authors: Sangode Pallawi B.
Published: October 2024

Background: One of the developments in the adoption of ICT, information and communications technology, that has been brought swiftly into the agriculture sector with its operation is the drone technology as a result of the rise of food demand all around the globe. This study presents the challenges in the use of done technology in Indian agriculture system. Methods: Major barriers are identified through literature review and then Failure Mode and Effect Analysis is done to rank the barriers. They are further subjected to interrelationships for identifying the driving variables to the occurrence of major challenges using Interpretive Structural Modelling technique. Result: The study concludes that Social anxiety concerning automation in agriculture is a dependent challenge. This results from concerns about job loss, resistance to change, skill gaps, ethical misgivings and regulatory uncertainty. Moreover, the conservatism of traditional techniques could well strengthen their aversion to technological change and the environmental toll, along with power concentration in some agricultural sectors, may deter farming activity.

La generación y aplicación de modelos probabilísticos son requeridas para tomar decisiones asertivas basadas en datos asociados con los tiempos de acceso y servicio de usuarios en diversas organizaciones. El objetivo consistió en analizar el sistema de líneas de espera de la biblioteca central de una universidad, mediante parámetros destinados a medir su desempeño. La metodología incluyó técnicas cuantitativas centradas en un diseño de tipo transversal. La información fue recolectada con una rejilla de observación y el conteo del número de estudiantes que entraban a la biblioteca en lapsos de 10 minutos para realizar actividades de consulta. Con los datos se ajustaron modelos de probabilidad para describir la operación del sistema. Los resultados evidenciaron que éste operaba establemente, con tiempos de espera cortos y tiempos de servicio pertinentes. Se pudo concluir que el sistema de biblioteca analizado logra un porcentaje alto (89.06%) de uso por parte del estudiantado en el horario observado.

El objetivo de este estudio fue diagnosticar el Conocimiento Tecnológico Pedagógico del Contenido (TPACK) en docentes en formación en informática (5 unidades de análisis) durante su participación en Lesson Study (LS). Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa-interpretativa con diseño de estudio de casos, empleando cuestionarios, entrevistas, observaciones, grupos de discusión, revisión documental y registro audiovisual para analizar y comprender el TPACK. Los resultados indican que el Conocimiento Pedagógico del Contenido (PCK) se utiliza con mayor frecuencia en la planificación y durante el desarrollo de la clase, mientras que el Conocimiento Pedagógico (PK) se destaca en el momento de reflexión. Se concluye que la combinación del TPACK con la LS es una alternativa importante para desarrollar los conocimientos base del TPACK (pedagógico, contenido, tecnológico) mediante un proceso colectivo y reflexivo, sostenido en la experimentación curricular y didáctica de las situaciones reales de los docentes en formación.
Territorial capacities for the scaling of agroecological innovations
Authors: Suárez-Ortiz Edison , Le-Coq Jean François
Published: October 2024

Agroecology is an alternative approach to socio-economic and environmental crises, which hinder the utilization of natural and cultural wealth in rural communities, and it requires the strengthening of territorial capacities for its scaling up. Despite the extensive literature on agroecological scaling, studies must be more comprehensive to understand the territorial capacities required in this process. A review of 37 documents was carried out in specialized databases to establish the relationship between capacities and scaling, highlighting agency, territorial governance, and co-construction of knowledge, which enable the management of natural and artificial assets. The involvement of actors seeking to participate in political advocacy through collective action was evident, but few documents emphasized the importance of natural capital and infrastructures. No works suggesting evaluations of shared knowledge construction processes were found. Hence, additional research should be developed.
Testing and analysis of a D-STATCOM prototype connected to the electrical network

Published: October 2024

In this article Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices  are addressed, especially the design and implementation of a D-STATCOM prototype, making a comparison between the theoretical behavior and the aforementioned prototype. A fuzzy logic-based strategy was used for voltage control, employing the Matlab Fuzzy Logic Designer tool. The neural network was trainned with the network voltage, the voltage of the inverter stage, the current, the active and reactive power, and the power factor as inputs. Initially, the load power factor was 0.62 and the prototype operation allowed the voltage to be increased above the grid voltage, which is reflected in the forward current, modifying the power factor to a value of 0.91 while maintaining the same voltage. Finally, the results demonstrate the relationship between the increase of the inverter stage of the prototype above the electrical power line, obtaining a variable capacitor thus adjusting the power factor.
Using Machine Learning to Create a Property Tax Roll: Evidence from the City of Kananga, D.R. Congo

Governments in the world’s poorest countries face severe revenue constraints. They typically collect less than 10 per cent of GDP in taxes, compared to 25–50 per cent in high-income countries. The literature on state capacity and development argues that inability to collect taxes is at the heart of why low-income countries are as poor as they are. It suggests that the path to economic prosperity may begin with investment in governments’ capacity to collect the tax revenue necessary to provide public goods that enhance productivity. Property taxation is often the primary source of government revenue at the local level, and is essential for provision of local public goods.1 However, it remains one of the most under-utilised taxes in developing countries. This is partly because taxing properties requires mapping and assessing the value of properties, which is complex and expensive. Only 39 per cent of non-OECD countries and 15 per cent of sub-Saharan African nations have mapped their largest city’s private plots. Several approaches have been proposed to map and value properties (see Zebong, Fish and Prichard (2017) for a review). Some countries rely on in-person appraisal visits, but, while accurate, these are typically costly and prone to corruption. For this reason, many countries, such as Pakistan, Sierra Leone, and Malawi, have instead adopted simplified valuation methods. The most common approach is points-based valuation, which consists of assigning points based on the surface area of the land and buildings. Additional points are awarded for positive features, and deducted for negative features.
Essai de dendroclimatologie en climat sahélien sur Acacia raddiana
Authors: Mariaux Alain
Published: October 2024

Suite aux années très sèches que la zone sahélienne a subies récemment, une tentative a été faite d'utiliser l'augmentation de la largeur des couches de croissance en circonférence de certains vieux arbres pour déterminer si de telles séries d'années sèches se sont déjà produites. Des cernes annuels sont observables, mais ils sont très irréguliers ; les arbres ne sont pas très vieux et les variations individuelles sont marquées. Les facteurs relatifs à l'activité du cambium en climat tropical sec doivent être mieux précisés pour interpréter les largeurs des cernes annuels.
