Published: December 2021

Bitis arietans is a snake of medical importance found throughout sub-Saharan Africa and in savannas and pastures of Morocco and western Arabia. The effects of its venom are characterized by local and systemic alterations, such as inflammation and cardiovascular and hemostatic disturbances, which can lead to victims’ death or permanent disability. To better characterize the inflammatory process induced by this snake’s venom, the participation of eicosanoids and PAF (platelet- activating factor) in this response were demonstrated in a previous study. In addition, edema and early increased vascular permeability followed by an accumulation of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells in the peritoneal cavity were accompanied by the production of the eicosanoids LTB4, LTC4, TXB2, and PGE2, and local and systemic production of IL-6 and MCP-1. In this context, the present study focused on the identification of inflammatory mediators produced by human macrophages derived from THP-1 cells in response to Bitis arietans venom (BaV), and Kn-Ba, a serine protease purified from this venom. Here, we show that Kn-Ba, and even the less intensive BaV, induced the production of the cytokine TNF and the chemokines RANTES and IL-8. Only Kn-Ba was able to induce the production of IL-6, MCP-1, and IP-10, whereas PGE2 was produced only in response to BaV. Finally, the release of IL-1β in culture supernatants suggests the activation of the inflammasomes by the venom of Bitis arietans and by Kn-Ba, which will be investigated in more detail in future studies.

Published: December 2021

A heart transplantation (HT) is performed when a patient’s heart health has been severely compromised. However, the health care needs of a patient throughout the transplantation process are also significant. In order to investigate these postoperative heart transplant challenges, this study has two objectives: to find which psychosocial and psychiatric variables relate to good prognosis at the end of the followup period and to assess cognitive status and quality of life at the end of the study. Therefore, we divided the sample according to the completion success and then studied and compared the differences in participants’ personality, coping mechanisms, locus of control, clinical, and epidemiological information. Cognitive function and quality of life assessments were also undertaken for participants who completed their followup period. Higher significant differences were found in openness to experience (personality), self-perceived support (locus of control), and positive reinterpretation (coping) among those who completed the followup period. On the other hand, a higher age and current or historical psychiatric diagnoses were more prevalent in the group who did not complete the followup period. Our assessment of the participants after the followup period showed normal levels of cognitive function and quality of life.

Published: December 2021

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), an enteric coronavirus, causes neonatal pig acute gastrointestinal infection with a characterization of severe diarrhea, vomiting, high morbidity, and high mortality, resulting in tremendous damages to the swine industry. Neither specific antiviral drugs nor effective vaccines are available, posing a high priority to screen antiviral drugs. The aim of this study is to investigate anti-PEDV effects of carbazole alkaloid derivatives. Eighteen carbazole derivatives (No.1 to No.18) were synthesized, and No.5, No.7, and No.18 were identified to markedly reduce the replication of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) inserted-PEDV, and the mRNA level of PEDV N. Flow cytometry assay, coupled with CCK8 assay, confirmed No.7 and No.18 carbazole derivatives displayed high inhibition effects with low cell toxicity. Furthermore, time course analysis indicated No.7 and No.18 carbazole derivatives exerted inhibition at the early stage of the viral life cycle. Collectively, the analysis underlines the benefit of carbazole derivatives as potential inhibitors of PEDV, and provides candidates for the development of novel therapeutic agents.
A Comparative Study of the Growth and Nutrient Removal Effects of Five Green Microalgae in Simulated Domestic Sewage
Authors: Ji Li , Ge Qili , Li Yuan , Gao Yifan , Xie Shulian
Published: December 2021

Microalgae have shown great potential in wastewater treatment. This study evaluates the growth and nutrient removal characteristics of five different microalgae strains, namely Chlorella vulgaris, Tetradesmus obliquus, Parachlorella kessleri, Hydrodictyon sp., and Scenedesmus quadricauda, in simulated domestic wastewater. The five microalgae could adapt to wastewater, but the growth potential and nitrogen removal capacity were species dependent. The nutrient removal effect of the microalgae used in this experiment was about 50% in the first two days. Parachlorella kessleri, selected from the five strains of green algae, shows good potential in removing nutrients from simulated domestic wastewater. For the simulated domestic sewage treated with Parachlorella kessleri, the chemical oxygen demand was almost completely reduced, and ammonium-N (NH4-N) and total nitrogen (TN) removal exceeded 70% at the end of the 10-day treatment. Total phosphorus (TP) removal was slightly worse, more than 65%. Parachlorella kessleri showed the best growth in sewage with the highest biomass reaching 366.67 mg L−1 and the highest specific growth rate reaching 0.538 d−1. This study can provide a reference for selecting suitable microalgae species to treat actual domestic sewage.
Turkish Disco: The Intersection of Anatolian Pop, Groove and Psychedelia
Authors: UYAR Yaprak Melike
Published: December 2021

This article aims to examine the genre of Turkish disco, with its local and global connotations. Using the theory of glocalization, the genre will be discussed as a means to understand current dynamics in the music industry. This research is a product of a discography survey and fieldwork consisting of extended interviews with DJs and musicians who were a part of the scene. What is labeled as disco music in Turkey, and what is referred to as 'Turkish disco' in the global music industry are, in fact, two different music cultures. The term's local usage refers to specific Turkish recordings from the late 1970s, in which various forms of Turkish art and folk music were reinterpreted, usually with Moog synthesizers. On the other hand, more recent connotations of Turkish disco owe much to DJs, and the digging, editing, and remixing culture of the 2010s. Coming hand in hand with the term Turkish psychedelic, many of these recent edits and remixes by DJs and producers were selected from the LPs and singles of the 1970s, which drew inspiration from pop, soul, folk, jazz, psychedelic rock, funk, and Anatolian pop. Thus, Turkish disco in the past decade has become an umbrella term for contemporary edits and remixes of the Turkish popular music of the 1970s. The reinterpretation of the forms such as Oyun Havası and potpori within the subheading of disco will be analyzed to understand the cultural aesthetics of taste and the political background of musical fusion.

Published: December 2021

En este artículo se analizan las condiciones de familiarización y feminización del cuidado de personas mayores en la ciudad de Mar del Plata, Argentina. En el país, la organización social del cuidado y las normativas que la regulan están signadas por un marcado familiarismo, lo que restringe las oportunidades de autonomía de las personas cuidadoras y limita el acceso a cuidados de calidad y bienestar material a las personas mayores. El Estado se hace presente en situaciones de extrema gravedad o ausencia de redes familiares, imponiendo la tensión entre el abandono y la resignación del proyecto de vida propio. La investigación que se recupera en este artículo se inició en un contexto anterior a la declaración de la pandemia y continuó, con adaptaciones metodológicas, en los primeros dos meses de pandemia. Recuperamos, a través de entrevistas y un cuestionario autoadministrado, la experiencia de mujeres cuidadoras no remuneradas de personas mayores, su perspectiva sobre el impacto del cuidado no remunerado en sus proyectos de vida y las representaciones subjetivas en torno a la labor que realizan.
FOREIGN LAND AND A FOREIGNER IN ASKOLD MELNYCZUK’S NOVEL "WHAT IS TOLD"
Authors: Shymchyshyn M.
Published: December 2021

The article examines Askold Melnyczuk’s novel "What is Told". It focuses on the concept of the foreign land and the identity of a foreigner. The author used the theoretical approach of Yu. Kristeva that deals with the peculiarities of the foreigner’s worldview and her/his attitudes to the new surroundings. Yu. Kristeva considers that patience and humility determine the existence of newcomers. At the same time, their inner world is full of melancholy and longing for the idealized in their imagination abandoned land. The author of the article considered different types of geographical spaces: the mythologized town of Rozdorizzhya, where the identity of the main characters was formed, camps for temporarily displaced persons and the New World.
The space of ancestors and the space of the new land are in opposition in the imagination of the main character Arkadyi. America is a technology while left behind the village in Polissya region is a deep province. The idea of a foreign land as a locus of freedom and self-realization changes after the characters arrive in the United States. Only the habitus of the Ukrainian community remains safe and understandable for newcomers. The identity of a stranger and the bitter realization of deprivation cause constant characters’ inner anxiety. They seek recognition at the individual level as well as at the collective level. However, America prefers to absorb the diversity of collectivities and creates a new community based on them.
In Melnyczuk’s novel, a foreign land remains strange to Ukrainian migrants. After many decades of living in the new territory, they still dream of the abandoned Rozdorizzhya, which in their memory has become almost an image of paradise. An offspring of migrants born in the United States is integrated into the new reality. Bo Voroh does not feel melancholy and longing for the country from which his parents come. It exists for him as a myth or fiction, which his mother and father cannot abandon.
ВЛИЯНИЕ ГЕОДИНАМИЧЕСКИХ ПРОЦЕССОВ НА ПЕРИОДИЧЕСКИЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ГРАВИТАЦИОННОГО ПОЛЯ ЗЕМЛИ
Authors: Валитов М.Г. , Прошкина З.Н.
Published: December 2021

В настоящее время прогноз землетрясений, как наиболее опасных геодинамических событий,
развивается в различных направлениях наук о Земле, используя, в том числе, и геофизические
методы. Традиционно для этих целей используется изучение сейсмического режима [8, 9],
геодезические наблюдения, в том числе с использованием спутниковой геодезии [7]
электромагнитные исследования [2], анализ вариаций газовых эманаций [10], мониторинг
деформаций и уровнемерные наблюдения [3, 11] и гравиметрические измерения [1].
Гравиметрические методы в основном направлены на измерение абсолютных значений поля
силы тяжести, позволяющих определить высоту точки наблюдения и ее вертикальные перемещения
посредством вычисления ускорения свободного падения. Преимущество абсолютных методов – это
отсутствие дрейфа или «сползания нуля», в отличие от относительных. Измерения относительными
методами с использованием высокоточных гравиметров широко распространены по всему миру.
Существует мировая сеть приливных станций, где производится регистрация вариаций
гравитационного поля Земли. Одна из таких станций располагается на территории Приморского края,
на базе морской экспериментальной станции (МЭС) «Мыс Шульца» ТОИ ДВО РАН (бухта Витязь, пов Гамова). Здесь, начиная с 2012 г, ведется круглогодичный мониторинг приливных вариаций поля
силы тяжести [6]. Для регистрации используется лабораторный относительный гравиметр gPhone
№111.
Периодические вариации поля силы тяжести порождаются влиянием небесных тел, в
основном Луной и Солнцем [4], однако в наблюдаемом поле существуют эффекты, помимо
известных эффектов от гидросферы и атмосферы, связанные с геодинамическими процессами,
протекающими в литосфере и вызывающими непериодические изменения поля силы тяжести.
Выявление таких непериодических вариаций может быть полезным при обнаружении предвестников
готовящегося землетрясения. С целью обнаружения в поле вариаций силы тяжести этих эффектов,
как от подготовки землетрясений, так и от постсейсмических изменений в литосфере было
выполнено исследование, основанное на методике расчета приливных параметров в скользящем окне.
Используя эту методику можно проследить плавное изменение основных параметров главных
приливных волн, а используя выборки разной длительности – определить оптимальную ширину окна
(продолжительность временного ряда) для фиксации непериодических аномальных эффектов. Данная
методика носит экспериментальный характер и одной из целей работы является ее апробация. В
целом исследование было направлено на обнаружение эффектов в гравитационном поле Земли,
связанных с геодинамическими процессами, протекающими в зоне перехода от континента к
Японскому морю, т.е. в геодинамически активном регионе.

сейсмических воздействий сильных землетрясений, с учетом современной геодинамики зон ВОЗ, для
наиболее вероятных грунтовых условий уделяется особое внимание. В этом отношении появилась
возможность анализа полученных данных для вновь произошедших сильных землетрясений в БМР в
2020-2021 гг.

Вулкан Ключевской – самый активный и мощный базальтовый вулкан Курило-Камчатской
вулканической области. Координаты вершины в программе «Google Планета Земля» - 56° 04'
(56.062) с. ш. и 160° 38' (160.630) в. д. Абсолютная высота вулкана – 4750 м. Диаметр вершинного
кратера, венчающего конус, составляет около 700 м [12]. Ключевской вулкан – типичный
стратовулкан с конусом правильной формы. Это самый высокий из действующих вулканов Европы и
Азии. Он сложен базальтовыми, андезибазальтовыми потоками лав и пирокластическим материалом.
В результате геологических исследований (методом тефрохронологии) определен возраст вулкана ~
7 тыс. лет [3]. Формирование вулкана началось в голоцене отложениями мощных толщ лав и
пирокластики базальтового и андезибазальтового составов на склоны более древних вулкановгигантов Камень и Крестовский. Ключевской вулкан очень активен. Средний расход магмы
60 млн. т/год составляет половину ювенильных продуктов извержений всего Курило-Камчатского
региона. Для эруптивной деятельности вулкана характерны вершинные и побочные извержения.
Вершинные извержения обычно более продолжительные и имеют главным образом эксплозивный
или эксплозивно-эффузивный характер.
О ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ВВЕДЕНИЯ ОБОБЩЕННОГО ЭНЕРГЕТИЧЕСКОГО КЛАССА ЗЕМЛЕТРЯСЕНИЙ

В статье предложен новый подход к решению проблемы построения обобщенной
энергетической шкалы землетрясений. Такая шкала может быть построена на основе существующих
магнитуд и классов землетрясений с коррекцией присущих им ограничений, и приведения их к
единой «линеаризованной» форме. Создание такой шкалы возможно за счет перенесения акцента с
аппаратно-методической проблемы на задачу учета статистических свойств сейсмического процесса,
отражаемых законом Гутенберга-Рихтера и представлениями об энергетическом балансе
сейсмического процесса.

Diseño de un plan de mejora sobre la digitalización forzada de las comunicaciones de los proyectos en una operadora de telecomunicaciones en Venezuela
Authors: Cazzadore García Lamberto , Aponte Figueroa Gloria
Published: December 2021

Si hay algo en lo que los seres humanos pueden coincidir es que la comunicación es la piedra angular de cualquier interacción, independientemente del ambiente donde esta se enmarque. A partir de esta idea, también se hace evidente que a través de las comunicaciones los seres humanos intercambian información para lograr algún objetivo específico. Y es que, ante la carencia de un plan para la gestión de las comunicaciones las organizaciones pueden enfrentar infinidad de problemas, algunos de los más evidentes se pueden señalar: desvíos temporales, re–trabajos, errores en las decisiones, falta de información documental, entre otros. A ello hay que sumarle los problemas asociados a la poca presencialidad de las personas en su medio de trabajo, por lo que las organizaciones han tenido que afrontar una aceleración forzada en el uso de los medios de comunicación digital para mantener a sus equipos de trabajo en comunicación. En este contexto se alineó esta investigación, la cual tuvo como objetivo diseñar un plan de mejora de la digitalización forzada sobre las comunicaciones entre los colaboradores de los proyectos dentro de una operadora de telecomunicaciones que hace presencia en Venezuela. Esta investigación, es del tipo aplicada con un diseño de campo no experimental en la que se utilizaron las técnicas de revisión bibliográfica, observación directa y entrevistas para levantar la información necesaria para analizar la situación actual dentro de la organización; y que luego de ser analizadas, sirvieron de sustento para el diseño del plan de mejora de la gestión de comunicaciones en los proyectos de la empresa objeto de estudio.

Population dynamics and economic growth in Kenya
Authors: Juma Maket Isaiah
Published: December 2021

Since the publication of the Malthusian population principle, the overall impact of population change on economic growth has provoked huge debates that have challenged pessimistic and optimistic postulations. Pessimists’ research posits that population growth puts a strain on government services. Conversely, optimists agree that population increase is a key component of economic growth through expanded specialisation and increased labour resources. Considering these conflicts in the literature, the Malthusian population principle and the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) are used by the author to assess the impact of population dynamics on economic growth in Kenya by incorporating the effects of education and health expenditures. The results show that population dynamics influence economic growth both directly and indirectly, with their indirect impact reinforcing the pessimistic argument that an increase in population dynamics growth has a negative effect on economic growth. Without doubt, the Kenyan working population has high health- and education-related needs, which is causing a slowdown in economic growth. The study suggests that state agencies develop and implement various policy programs focusing on public health and active involvement of the population in economic activities.
Modelling MTPL insurance claim events: Can machine learning methods overperform the traditional GLM approach?
Authors: Burka Dávid , Kovács László , Szepesváry László
Published: December 2021

Pricing an insurance product covering motor third-party liability is a major challenge for actuaries. Comprehensive statistical modelling and modern computational power are necessary to solve this problem. The generalised linear and additive modelling approaches have been widely used by insurance companies for a long time. Modelling with modern machine learning methods has recently started, but applying them properly with relevant features is a great issue for pricing experts. This study analyses the claim-causing probability by fitting generalised linear modelling, generalised additive modelling, random forest, and neural network models. Several evaluation measures are used to compare these techniques. The best model is a mixture of the base methods. The authors’ hypothesis about the existence of significant interactions between feature variables is proved by the models. A simplified classification and visualisation is performed on the final model, which can support tariff applications later.

Authors: Jalal Al-Sammarraie Mustafa Ahmed , Jasim Noor Ahmed
Published: December 2021

A system was used to detect injuries in plant leaves by combining machine learning and the principles of image processing. A small agricultural robot was implemented for fine spraying by identifying infected leaves using image processing technology with four different forward speeds (35, 46, 63 and 80 cm/s). The results revealed that increasing the speed of the agricultural robot led to a decrease in the mount of supplements spraying and a detection percentage of infected plants. They also revealed a decrease in the percentage of supplements spraying by 46.89, 52.94, 63.07 and 76% with different forward speeds compared to the traditional method.

Published: December 2021

Aiming at the problems of high specificity and low efficiency of vegetable transplanting machine, a substrate block seedling transplanter was designed. Through theoretical calculation and force analysis, the structural parameters of two key components of automatic seedling separation device and planting device are determined. Taking cabbage seedlings with 40 × 40 × 40mm substrate block size as the experimental object, the effects of forward speed, planting frequency, front conveyor belt speed on lodging rate, missing rate and qualified rate were studied by single factor test and three factor three-level orthogonal test. Based on the analysis of the significance and interaction of the experimental data, the best combination of the forward speed of 1.1km/h, the planting frequency of 55 plants / min and the front conveyor belt speed of 0.5km/h was obtained. The verification test of the best combination showed that the average qualified rate of planting was 93.31%, which met the relevant industry standards.

This paper investigated the impact of tax revenue on private domestic investment in Nigeria from 1980 to 2018 using the modified ordinary least squares- Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL). The paper used oil revenue, non-oil revenue, and Corporate Income Tax (CIT) as the independent variables while Private Domestic Investment (PDI) is the dependent variable. Oil revenue and non-oil revenue were used as a proxy for oil and non-oil tax. These data were obtained from secondary sources- central Bank of Nigeria, World Bank database and Federal Inland Revenue service statistical bulletin. The result showed that a long-run relationship exists between the aforementioned variables. Also, the paper revealed that oil and non-oil do not have a significant impact on PDI but CIT has a positive and significant impact on PDI. The paper recommends that proper measures/reforms should be put in place in order to reduce the impact of tax on private domestic investment in Nigeria.

Deep sleep staging networks have reached top performance on large-scale datasets. However, these models perform poorer when training and testing on small sleep cohorts due to data inefficiency. Transferring well-trained models from large-scale datasets (source domain) to small sleep cohorts (target domain) is a promising solution but still remains challenging due to the domain-shift issue. In this work, an unsupervised domain adaptation approach, domain statistics alignment (DSA), is developed to bridge the gap between the data distribution of source and target domains. DSA adapts the source models on the target domain by modulating the domain-specific statistics of deep features stored in the Batch Normalization (BN) layers. Furthermore, we have extended DSA by introducing cross-domain statistics in each BN layer to perform DSA adaptively (AdaDSA). The proposed methods merely need the well-trained source model without access to the source data, which may be proprietary and inaccessible. DSA and AdaDSA are universally applicable to various deep sleep staging networks that have BN layers. We have validated the proposed methods by extensive experiments on two state-of-the-art deep sleep staging networks, DeepSleepNet+ and U-time. The performance was evaluated by conducting various transfer tasks on six sleep databases, including two large-scale databases, MASS and SHHS, as the source domain, four small sleep databases as the target domain. Thereinto, clinical sleep records acquired in Huashan Hospital, Shanghai, were used. The results show that both DSA and AdaDSA could significantly improve the performance of source models on target domains, providing novel insights into the domain generalization problem in sleep staging tasks.

Identidade, interesses e cumprimento

The study of formal commitments and the compliance of states with international norms presents several questions that remain without consensus in International Relations literature. In particular, why states commit to and respect international agreements in a decentralized system remains under debate. While rationalist theories support a conception of states from their material capacities and consider self-interest to explain their behavior, constructivist approaches argue that ideational factors are also indispensable in defining state practices. Drawing on the latter, this article aims to analyze how the identity of states shapes their interests to understand how these elements influence the compliance, or non-compliance, with international norms. From this investigation, it is confirmed that, influenced by a series of subjective determinants, the State's decision is not an either/or proposition. Rather, there is a spectrum along which actors can position themselves.
