ARTICULATORY FEATURES OF THE /I/-TYPE VOWELS IN THE ALTAI-KIZHI DIALECT (MRI DATA)
Authors:   ALBINA A. DOBRININA Institute of Philology Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, DOBRININA ALBINA A.
Published: December 2020

The paper considers some articulatory features of allophones of the vowel /i/ in the Altai-Kizhi dialect (spoken in the locality Ust-Kan, Altai) of the Altai language visualized by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The Altai-Kizhi is the central basic dialect of the Altai literary language. In Altai, each rural locality represents a unique dialect, whose relevance of studying was emphasized by V. V. Radlov. Speech sounds of the /i/-type in the dialects of the Altai language are realized mainly as front variants with different degrees of openness. In the written Altai speech, the symbol “и” is used to denote narrow front non-labialized vowel; some variants of the Altai vowel /i/ are central-back differing in this from the Russian vowel /i/. Experimental data on the territorial dialects of the Altai-Kizhi dialect, obtained from its 6 native speakers (d1-d6) taking into account variable inherent palate height, shows both the common articulation bases of native speakers (clearly-expressed frontness) and their differences (variable openness).
WORDS DENOTING WRESTLING IN KHAKAS AND TUVIN LANGUAGES (ON THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD KüRES / HүREš)
Authors:   ANDREY D. KAKSIN Katanov Khakass State University, KAKSIN ANDREY D.
Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the possibilities of word variation in the development of the semantic (lexical) system of language. The necessity of this study is determined by the fact that in Khakass and Tuva linguistics there are not enough works devoted to development patterns of categorical semantics of the word. The article defines how the meaning of words found in proto-languages is advanced at further stages of language development. The obtained results demonstrate that the original words with the semantics in question already existed in the Old-Turkic era. Their semantic development is characterized by its own logic: the vector is set by the inner form of an ancient root (kүš, küs); during affixation (küres, hүreš), the choice of the motivating root is observed. The hypothesis is proven that for different Turkic languages, the vector can be either “the same” or different. In the second case, the distinctive lines, although visible enough, extend within certain limits: even with a sufficiently strong deviation from a given line of variation, they maintain a deep bond with the semantics of the original root...

The main task in the development of concentrating systems is in reducing the inhomogeneous distribution of illumination over the focal spot, which determines the distribution of concentrated radiation on the receiver, which affects the efficiency of heat and photo converters. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in modeling for calculation, construction manufacturing and research of characteristics of a thermal photovoltaic module with specified energy parameters. (Materials and methods) The article considers new thermal photovoltaic modules that include photodetectors and concentrators that provide efficient conversion of solar energy into heat. The research is based on mathematical modeling techniques using the laws of photoelectricity, geometric optics, and heat and mass transfer. The computer-aided design system COMPASS-3D was used to create a prototype model of the solar module, and the FDM 3D printing technology was used to produce the resulting CAD models. Authors conducted bench and field tests of components and complexes of solar power systems in order to clarify the design parameters. (Results and discussion) During the study of a developed solar module with parabolic concentrators and a discrete photodetector with asymmetric profile, with a system of the coolant flow, physical and mathematical models on the basis of which was calculated: the structural parameters; the distribution of concentration of solar radiation across the width of the photodetector; dependences of the distribution of the heating temperature of the coolant over the profile of the photodetector. Authors designed a layout of the basic thermal photovoltaic module, in which the rounded lower part of the rotary rack fixed on the axis allows to create a rotation in the axial direction of the photodetector holders within ±20 degrees with a mechanism for fixing the adjusted position. (Conclusions) Based on the alignment carried out on the stand, the identical location of the receivers of concentrated solar radiation relative to the concentrators in the installation is preserved.

Published: December 2020

Treatment of idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) is problematic due to the unclear etiology of the illness. Corticosteroid is recommended by some papers, and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) by others. Recently HBO2 has been shown to be an important therapy for ISSNHL, with an increasing number of studies demonstrating its beneficial results. Recovery from ISSNHL depends on the interval period between onset and treatment, hearing loss severity and audiogram type used to determine damage. Treatment of ISSNHL requires a detailed analysis. In this retrospective study we reviewed data from 56 patients with moderate ISSNHL. These patients were divided into three groups based on different treatments: corticosteroid group; corticosteroid + HBO2 (combination)group; and HBO2-only group. Additionally, all patients received intravenous vasodilator treatment. Hearing levels before and after treatment were compared. All three groups had a similar recovery rate, with an effective rate of more than 50%, and a hearing gain average of 17.38 decibels (dB). HBO2 treatment got a higher recovery rate. The combination therapy, which included corticosteroid and HBO2, did not elevate the recovery rate.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Stingray spine injuries are among the most common marine animal injuries in humans. While most resolve with immersion in warm water, a few become infected and require antibiotics. We present a case report of a presumptive stingray injury that evolved to a major slough and which required prolonged healing in a patient with diabetes mellitus. Our literature review was unable to find a similarly reported case. Materials: A co-author was asked to evaluate and manage an ominous-appearing wound on the right foot of a diabetic. The problem developed after the individual had been wading in shallow ocean beach water. The patient’s diabetic sensory neuropathy obscured the immediate association of the problem with a stingray injury, but this became the presumptive diagnosis when pain developed and necessitated that he seek medical care. Findings/Clinical Course: After an initial urgent care visit, increasing pain and worsening appearance of the patient’s foot necessitated a visit to our emergency department. The patient was admitted the next day due to symptoms of systemic sepsis. On the fourth hospital day, a large bulla on the lateral side of the right foot was excised. This unroofed a full-thickness slough to the periosteum level of the underlying bones. Not until the 16th hospital day had enough improvement occurred to discharge the patient. Over the next 16 weeks, the wound improved, developed a vascular base and epithelialized. Conclusions: With a dearth of literature about stingray injuries in patients with diabetes mellitus reported, our case is unique: The patient’s wound course more closely resembled a toxic inoculation than the typical puncture wound-cellulitis presentations associated with stingray injuries.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: We aimed to document identified cases of immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) in divers from Oceania (the Indo-Pacific region) from January 2002 to May 2018, inclusive. Method: Cases were identified using various sources, including searches of the Divers Alert Network Asia-Pacific (DAN AP) Fatality Database, published case reports, and interviews with survivors who had reported their incident to DAN AP. Where available, investigations, pathology and autopsy results were obtained. Only incidents diagnosed as IPE by diving physicians or pathologists with experience in the investigation of diving accidents were included. Individual case histories and outcomes, together with brief individual summaries of the associations and possible contributing factors were recorded. Results: Thirty-one IPE incidents in divers from Oceania were documented. There were two surface snorkelers, 22 scuba air divers and seven nitrox divers which included three closed-circuit rebreathers (CCR). The mean (SD) age was 53 (12) years, 58% of victims were females, and the average dive profile was to a maximum depth of 19 meters of seawater for 25 minutes. Six victims (19%) had previous episodes of IPE. There were nine recorded fatalities. Cardiac anomalies dominated the associated or possible contributing factors. These included valvular disease in 29%, transient cardiomyopathies in 26% and dysrhythmias in 16%. Conclusions: Previously reported associations of IPE such as exertion, stress, cold exposure, negative inspiratory pressure, hypertension, overhydration, ascent or surfacing, tight wetsuit, aspiration and certain medications were identified. Cardiac conditions were frequent and included chronic disorders (valvular pathology, coronary artery disease) and transient disorders (dysrhythmias, transient myocardial dysfunction, takotsubo or stress cardiomyopathy). It is likely that the chronic cardiac disorders may have contributed to the IPE, whereas the transient cases could be either sequelae, contributors or coincidental to the IPE.

Published: December 2020

Background: Despite clear clinical benefits, there is limited evidence
regarding possible complications of the novel mechanical support device
Impella. Aortic and mitral valve regurgitation or injury are rare but
potential complications following implantation of the Impella device.
Methods: To evaluate valvular complications after the Impella device
implantation, we have performed a comprehensive search of literature on
multiple sites on this topic. Results and Conclusion: Ten case reports
and one observational retrospective study were identified, with a total
number of 19 patients identified. This article aims to draw attention to
potential periprocedural complications relating to the Impella, in
particular iatrogenic aortic and mitral valve injuries. Moreover, we
have summarized our recommendations emphasizing the need for careful
management and meticulous follow-up of these patients to avoid such
potentially devastating complications.

Published: December 2020

There are few precipitation events in the Loess Platea area, which may
significantly influence water uptake strategies for plant communities,
while water source for trees, growing in the Loess Plateau mountain
area, are poorly comprehend. We investigated the impacts of
precipitation (before and after) on water uptake strategies for typical
broadleaf and coniferous trees using hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope
techniques in the Loess Plateau mountain area of northern China. Our
results indicated that water sources of the two plant species varied
before and after rainfall. Robinia pseudoacacia largely absorbed water
from 30-40cm (57.8%) soil layers before precipitation and switched its
main water source to 20-30cm (58.5%) soil layer after precipitation.
Contrary to R.pseudoacacia, Pinus tabuliformis mainly absorbed water
from 20-30cm (24.9%) and 10-20cm (21.6%) soil layers before
precipitation and changed its dominant water sources to 0-10cm (39.8%)
and 10-20cm (44%) soil layer after precipitation. Moreover, the
herbaceous of broadleaf plant has the higher complex of the community.
On the whole, R.pseudoacacia and P.tabuliformis showed the diverse
characteristics of water utilization, which suggests that these two
species are suitable for a mixed forest vegetation and our findings
provide valuable information for planning long-term ecological
afforestation management around the Loess Plateau mountain area of
northern China.

Parallel cracks are often detected in various structural components using non-destructive methods. In the case of non-aligned parallel cracks, on-site service needs to decide whether they should be treated as coalesced or separate multiple cracks for Fitness-for-Service. Criteria and standards for the adjustment of multiple nonaligned cracks are very different from one another in existing resources. Furthermore, those criteria and standards are often derived from on-site service experience without rigorous and systematic verification. Based on this observation, the interaction between an edge and an embedded parallel crack is investigated to correlate criteria and standards from various resources in order to recommend the usage of those standards for the purpose of Fitness-for-Service. In this study, depending on the crack ratio a1/a2, what may be deemed conservative by one standard, leading to aligned cracks for a given separation distance, H/a2 and S/a2, may be deemed non-conservative, or non-aligned, by another standard. Examples are given to show this phenomenon.

In the course of our earlier data obtained in remote diagnosis of von Willebrand disease (vWD) program, 16 samples were identified for extended laboratory work up in order to clarify a specific subtype of vWD. Purpose of the study: extended phenotyping of blood samples with suspected type 2 vWD. This study is supported by the Independent Ethics Committee and approved by the Academic Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Immunology. Using 16 aliquoted frozen samples, collagen-binding (vWF:CB) and fVIII-binding activity of vWF (vWF:FVIIIB) tests were performed, as well as multimeric analysis of vWF. Isolated fVIII deficiency with no laboratory signs of 2N vWD subtype were detected in 7 (44%) of 16 patients with an initial decrease in the ratio of fVIII activity to vWF antigen. In the remaining 9 patients, vWF:CB was assessed, which showed a decrease in association with collagen in 6 patients, which allows one to suspect type 2A or 2B. In the remaining 3 with normal vWF:CB patients, type 2M was suspected. MA helped to further identify patients with suspected type 2B vWD. The use of remote diagnostics technologies allows phenotyping most forms of vWD even in patients living in regions with limited laboratory capabilities.

Х-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) is a life-threatening primary immunodeficiency, characterized by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, lymphoproliferation and hypogammaglobulinemia. The most frequent forms of XLP – XLP1 and XLP2 – are caused by mutations of the SH2D1A and BIRС4/XIAP genes, coding for SAP and XIAP proteins, respectively. Early diagnosis is important as it allows to prevent severe complications by introducing specific therapy and proceed to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Here we describe validation of precise and fast flow cytometry-based method of XLP1 and XLP2 laboratory diagnostics. This study is supported by the Independent Ethics Committee and approved by the Academic Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Immunology. 89 patients from 2 months to 18 years of age seen at our Center from July 2016 to February 2020 with symptoms suspicious of XLP were included in the study. Decrease of SAP intracellular expression was found in 9 patients, and XIAP – in 10 patients. In all of them XLP diagnosis was confirmed by detection of SH2D1A or XIAP mutations, respectively. Female mutations carries from the families of these patients demonstrated abnormal expression of respective proteins. Analysis of the data allowed to calculated the optimized cut-off numbers for the SAP and XIAP expression, which was 50% and 80% in T lymphocytes (respectively) and 45% и 75% in NK lymphocytes (respectively). Specificity and sensitivity of the method was 100% for both proteins. Therefore the method of assessment of SAP and XIAP intracellular expression via flow cytometry allows fast and precise diagnostics of XLP1 and XLP2.

Published: December 2020

With the advent of new approaches in coagulation studies capable of identifying regulatory mechanisms involved in transport processes, the spatial localization of processes and interaction between the coagulation system and the immune system, the complement system, and fibrinolysis, the existing diagnostic and treatment approaches used in clinical and laboratory practice are changing as well. This review describes modern diagnostic methods for hemostasis disorders that are based on an integrative approach and are used to assess many aspects of the coagulation system at once. The reviewed methods are sensitive not only to bleeding but also to prothrombotic states, and enable monitoring of treatment with various medications including both oral anticoagulants and antihemophilic agents. We will also cover new approaches to the treatment of hemostasis disorders made possible by the understanding of the involved control mechanisms, such as the use of bispecific antibodies as an alternative to coagulation cofactors, the inhibition of inhibitors and the development of new drug delivery techniques.

This study is supported by the Independent Ethics Committee and approved by the Academic Council of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology. 28 patients with RRT were included in our study from a period 2006–2019. Immunohistochemical staining included Vimentin, panCK, CK19, EMA, INI1, CD34, WT1 (clones: polyclonal, WT49, 6FH2). Additionally, in order to evaluate genetic events known to be significant in the RRT pathogenesis, molecular genetic testing by multiplex ligase-dependent probe amplification (NGS) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of customized gene panel were conducted in 15 cases with available material. All tumors had classical rhabdoid morphology with co-expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers and total loss of INI1 expression. Two tumors were WT1-positive (WT49 and Polyclonal). 5 out of 15 tumors harbored different in length SMARCB1 gene deletions. 7 cases studied by NGS for nucleotide substitutions and small indels included 5 patients lacking SMARCB1 deletions based on the MLPA data and 2 cases of RRT with WT1 protein nuclear expression. All evaluated patients had pathogenic or likely-pathogenic genetic variants in genes encoding core subunits of SWI/ SNF chromatin remodeling complex (predominantly, SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes). No pathogenic variants were revealed in WT1 gene. The literature describes isolated cases of WT1 expression in RRT elements. Often, the cellular elements of a rhabdoid tumor after preoperative chemotherapy are regarded as elements of the stromal component of nephroblastoma, maturing into rhabdomyoblasts. In the presence of WT1 expression, these tumors are considered as nephroblastomas. In this study we showed that RRTs are molecularly heterogeneous tumors with aberrant immunophenotype. Thus, our experience proves the importance of an integrated approach to differential diagnosis and the need for routine use of the INI1 antibody in panels for the study of kidney tumors in children to avoid misinterpretation of morphological data.

The oral cavity is a biologically significant and complex site of the human body. It is a gateway into the internal environment of the organism. There are many processes, such as the beginning of digestion, speech creation, and sensory perception of taste. Oral health is closely related to the general health of a person. The oral cavity contains an enormous number of microorganisms that can cause various diseases. Oral bacteria are responsible for diseases in the mouth, but can also seriously harm human health. The oral microbiome also serves as an indicator of health, respectively morbidity of the human organism. Compared to healthy children, mentally disabled children suffer from many congenital and acquired diseases and disorders that affect their overall and oral health. These children require a specific approach to the examination, but also to the therapy.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of oral diseases in children, whether healthy or mentally disabled.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of eggs laid by native breed hens of different ages (33 and 53 weeks of age), with particular consideration of the lysozyme parameters. Eggs were collected from 6 breeds/strains of laying hens under the genetic resources conservation in Poland, i.e. Greenleg Partridge (Z-11), Yellowleg Partridge (Ż-33), Rhode Island Red (R-11), Rhode Island White (A-33), Sussex (S-66) and Leghorn (H-22). The yolks of eggs from older hens had a more favourable, intense colour, but the freshness parameters (albumen height and Haugh units) of these eggs were lower. The albumen of eggs from older hens showed greater content and higher enzymatic activity of lysozyme in both thin and thick albumen. Among the six strains of hens, lysozyme content and enzymatic activity were highest in the egg albumen of strains Ż-33, Z-11 and R-11, and lowest in that of strain H-22. The analysed eggs showed statistically significant correlations between some interior egg quality traits (albumen weight, albumen height, Haugh units, yolk colour) and the discussed enzyme parameters. These traits are influenced by genotype and age of the hens.

As data centers have increased in size, there has been a need to create clusters out of cheaper, more affordable commodity parts that can easily be replaced upon failure, and that create more affordable data centers overall. However, such large clusters are still outside of feasibility for individuals and small businesses. It is a worthwhile exercise to see if much smaller clusters could be created for such applications, and to compare their performance / price measure to that of the previous traditional data centers. For this paper, such a cluster is created using Raspberry Pis which are small-sized, single-board computers. A data sharing model is built in Python using message passing interface (MPI) that ran on the cluster of the four Raspberry Pis. So as to evaluate the performance of the system, some greedy algorithms are created. During the implementation process, previously unknown skills, including how to create a cluster, programming the infrastructure are learnt.

At present, humanity is facing a multitude of problems caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, that requires a continuous adaptation to all organizational levels. Regarding the management of organizations, it is clear that this one has to be adapted to the current situation and to the needs of members of the organizations which have also undergone profound changes. In this regard, leaders at all levels of the organization must act flexibly, be attentive to the needs of teams and reshape their leadership style to respond to the uncertain realities that govern the world order.
Towards a Conceptual Description of Verbs
Authors: Leseva Svetlozara , Stoyanova Ivelina
Published: December 2020

Our work is focused on the conceptual description of verbs by employing two main resources – the lexical semantic network WordNet and the conceptual frames from FrameNet. We implement a method for inheritance-based mapping between the two resources by transferring the frame assignments from a hypernym to its hyponyms. We discover that the method performs best for directly related pairs of synsets but deteriorates in assignment at two or more steps. The mapping is then used for enhancing each of the resources by expanding it with new entries and by contributing to the resources’ relational structure.

This study was carried out to examine the comparative effects of coconut oil (CO), avocado oil (AO), and melon seed oil (MSO) on the growth performance, blood, biochemical, hematological parameters, and total microbial loads of Noiler birds. A total of 120 Noiler birds with an average weight of 50.3 ± 0.13 g were randomized into four treatment groups with 3 replications (10 per pen) for six weeks of fattening. Weekly body weight gain and daily feed intake of the birds were recorded for six weeks, after which average weight gain and feed conversion ratios were calculated. At the end of the feeding trials, blood samples were collected for biochemical and hematological parameter assessments, and the digesta from the colon and ileum were collected for their intestinal total microbial load analysis. The average weight gains and feed conversion ratios (FCR) of the birds supplemented with CO (1229.40 ± 15.00) and MSO (1232.66 ± 43.18) were observed to be significantly higher (P < 0.05), compared to the birds supplemented with AO (1110.73 ± 18.29) and the birds fed feed only (1034.79 ± 2.04) having the least weight gained. The biochemical parameters of the birds across the treatment were not significantly different (P > 0.05). White blood cells, packed cell volume, red blood cells and lymphocytes were significantly higher in the CO group compared to the birds supplemented with the avocado oil and melon seed oil. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the weight of the spleen, bursa and gall bladder among the birds. The Lactobacillus spp. in the colon of birds supplemented with coconut oil (6.43 ± 0.56) and melon oil (6.25 ± 0.65) were significantly higher. It can be concluded that coconut oil and melon seed oil have the potential to serve as growth promoters for chicken production.
Kinesthetic Unity as Motivated Association
Authors: Lanza Andrea
Published: December 2020

Within Husserl’s theory of perception, the role attributed to kinesthetic sensations determines a phase of the perceptive constitution that marks the boundary between pure receptivity and a first form of self-determination of consciousness. Kinesthetic experiences are, in fact, characterized not just as acts that are performed but rather that can be performed, albeit according to predetermined paths.

This primitive form of ‘instinctive’ spontaneity of the Ego (linked to primal impulses) as realization of pre-established potentialities, characterizes what Husserl defines the ‘ idiopsychic’ dimension of consciousness (Husserl, 1952, p. 135). However, although this level of consciousness unity presupposes a spontaneous activity, it can be investigated according to the ‘causal’ laws of motivation.

The phenomenon of motivation was notoriously introduced by Husserl in §56 of Ideen II, as a specific law of spiritual life. However, there are two possible forms of motivation, one in which the Ego is actively involved, and a second one, called “associative motivation.” The latter basically indicates the passive tendency of creating associations between unities of the immanent sphere. In other terms, Husserl acknowledges the existence of “motivated relations” within the immanent sphere of mental acts which do not necessarily call for an active participation of the Ego. In this sense, the relation between motivating factors and motivated elements could be considered a kind of conditioning of the form “because-therefore,” in which the two elements arrange themselves in a succession of experiences. This work aims to show that this very kind of association is the same that pre-determines the unfolding possibility of kinesthetic chains.
