Background. In the Russian Federation the number of a parvovirusВ19 infection cases has increased significantly with the introduction of rubella into the measles elimination program and laboratory examination of patients with maculopapular rash and fever. The aim of study was the examination of the distribution of the parvovirusВ19 infection in the North-Western Federal District. Materials and methods. In 2014–2017, 1044 blood sera of patients with exanthema diseases from different territories of the North-Western Federal District have been investigated with «Anti-Parvovirus B19 ELISA IgM» kit (EUROIMMUN, Germany) to detect IgM antibody, and 733 blood sera of clinically healthy men and women 18 to 60 years old have been tested for IgG antibodies using the «Anti-Parvovirus B19 ELISA IgG» kit (EUROIMMUN, Germany). Results. ParvovirusВ19 infection is contentiously detected in 10 of the 11 territories of the district. Typical is the winterspring seasonality; in terms of the age structure – prevalence of children 3–6 (25,3% of cases) and 7–14 (33,3% of cases) years old was detected. A high proportion of seropositivity was established among the examined donors from the higher educational institutions of Saint Petersburg (75,4–88,9%%). Low rate of seropositivity (56,7%) was detected among pregnant women. A high proportion of false negative results in the primary diagnosis of parvovirus infection has been revealed. Conclusion. ParvovirusВ19 infection is widespread in the territories of the North-Western of the Russia, mainly among children. The results indicate the feasibility of conducting a laboratory examination of pregnant women who are contact for exanthemous diseases, for markers of parvovirus infection; on the importance of screening donor blood for PV B19 DNA with “culling” pools characterized by high viral load; on the need for differential laboratory diagnosis between rubella and parvovirus infection.

Published: October 2019

Metal constructions can cause fever even after a few years post implantation. This paper describes a case of 27 year old female with a fever associated with titanium construction implanted for kyphoscoliosis. 3 years post-operatively she developed afever (up to 39°С) and associated back pain. Examination revealed a hepatomegaly and lymphadenopathy (cervical and inguinal groups). Other investigations showed: neutrophilic leukocytosis (16×109\L), thrombocytosis (620×109\L), elevation of the C-reactive protein (76 ng/ml), ESR (62 mm/h) and ferritin (1615 ng/ml). There were no features of infection, connective tissue disease or hemoblastosis. A short course of therapy with methylprednisolone led to transient improvement. The metal device was surgically removed which caused an immediate elimination of fever and subsequent resolution of leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly.

Published: October 2019

Generalized forms of meningococcal infection are characterized by high risk of complication and fatal outcomes. In Russian Federation, 2016, meningococcal infection was the second most common cause of pediatric deaths (25%) due to infectious diseases after community associated-pneumonia. Mandatory vaccination against meninococcal infection is not regulated, and immunization coverage according to epidemic indications is insufficient. During first 6–8 hours of illness clinical signs of this infection may be non-specific, because of that it is difficult to make correct diagnosis at outpatient department. Aim of the study was to analyze mistakes of diagnostics of meningococcal infection and to assess factors influencing the disease outcome. Material and methods. Retrospective cohort study was performed including 113 pediatric cases of generalized meningococcal infection occurred in Arkhangelsk region (46 cases with fatal outcome and 67 patients, who recovered). Factors influencing the outcome were recognized using Cox regression. Results. Median age of patients was 11 months. Clinical forms were meningitis (13,3%), meningococcemia (40,7%), mixed form (46%). The diagnosis of meningococcal infection was made at outpatient department in 36,9% of cases. The main causes of diagnostic mistakes were the lack of experience among primary care physicians and non-specificic symptoms during the first hours of the disease. Age younger 2 years, septic shock and time between onset of the diseases and admission to the hospital were associated with fatal outcome. Conclusion. To manage meningococcal disease we need to have good compliance with clinical guidelines for outpatient departments and hospitals; to optimize medical students education for prevention of diagnostic mistakes. Vaccination is the most effective method of prevention of deaths associated with meningococcal infection.

Authors: Ivanova M. V. , Mindlina A. Ya.
Published: October 2019

Objective: to offer additional criteria for assessing registration quality of congenital infections and neonates’ pyoseptic infections. Material and methods: a retrospective epidemiological analysis of congenital infections incidence, pyoseptic infections of puerperas and neonates during 2007–2017 was conducted in this study. All subjects of the Russian Federation were divided into some groups according to registered incidence rate and ratio among congenital, pyoseptic infections of puerperas and neonates with using the method of ranging. Comparative correlation analysis was conducted between puerperas’ pyoseptic infections and neonates’ congenital infections in accordance with registered rate. The sample of the date was taken from Statistical Reporting Form No 2 «Report on infectious and parasitic diseases» for the Russian Federation during 2007–2017, Unified interdepartmental information and statistical system. Results: in most regions of the Russian Federation the registration of healthcare associated infections puerperas and neonates is at a low. More than a half of subjects have low incidence rates (less than 1,0) for one or more of the considered infections. Until now, there are several subjects that do not register healthcare associated infections at all. The absence of correlation relation between the morbidity of the puerperas’ pyoseptic infections and neonates’ congenital infections on the whole in the country confirms this fact. At the same time, the correlation analysis of separate regions with the registration close to the real figures has shown a strong positive relationship between puerperas’ pyoseptic infections and congenital infections. Conclusion: thus, it can be concluded that the presence of relation between rates of incidence of puerperas’ healthcare associated infections and neonates’ congenital infections can be used as one of the epidemiological criteria for assessing the completeness of the registration of healthcare associated infections.
An adaptive soft sensor deterioration evaluation and model updating method for time-varying chemical processes
Authors: Li Longhao , Dai Yongshou
Published: October 2019

Due to the time-varying nature of chemical processes, soft sensor models deteriorate, and data prediction accuracy decreases. To address this problem, an adaptive soft sensor modeling method is proposed that not only evaluates the model deterioration by an adaptive moving window-constrained statistical hypothesis test, but also adaptively updates the modeling samples using moving window-cosine similarity. First, this method evaluates the model deterioration via positioning by constrained statistical hypothesis testing based on the differences between the prediction performance evaluation index data obtained from moving window stepping and the original prediction performance evaluation indexes. Additionally, the dynamic temporal variation in chemical processes causes changes in the impacts of the auxiliary variables on the dominant variable, and this effect limits the improvement in the prediction accuracy of the soft sensor model by updating only the auxiliary variable data. The moving window-cosine similarity method is combined to propose a strategy that updates both the modeled auxiliary variables and the auxiliary variable data. Finally, the parameters of the soft sensor model are optimized via particle swarm optimization (PSO) to improve the fitting performance. Simulated data of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and actual data from a debutanizer column process (DCP) are used for model verification to evaluate the performance of the proposed adaptive soft sensor modeling method, and the results show its effectiveness.
Design of intrusion detection system based on improved ABC_elite and BP neural networks
Authors: Duan Letian , Han Dezhi , Tian Qiuting
Published: October 2019

Intrusion detection is a hot topic in network security. This paper proposes
an intrusion detection method based on improved artificial bee colony
algorithm with elite-guided search equations (IABC elite) and Backprogation
(BP) neural net works. The IABC elite algorithm is based on the depth first
search framework and the elite-guided search equations, which enhance the
exploitation ability of artificial bee colony algorithm and accelerate the
convergence. The IABC elite algorithm is used to optimize the initial weight
and threshold value of the BP neural networks, avoiding the BP neural
networks falling into a local optimum during the training process and
improving the training speed. In this paper, the BP neural networks optimized
by IABC elite algorithm is applied to intrusion detection. The simulation on
the NSL-KDD dataset shows that the intrusion detection system based on the
IABC elite algorithm and the BP neural networks has good classification and
high intrusion detection ability.
To teach writing: Teachers' perspectives on how to promote children’s writing development in the Swedish preschool class
Authors: Andersson Susanna , Sandberg Gunilla , Garpelin Anders
Published: October 2019

This study focuses on how teachers in Swedish preschool classes describe their work to promote children’s early writing. The research questions are the following: According to teachers, in what daily activities are children given the opportunity to write? How do teachers describe their support for children’s writing processes? The empirical data was collected from interviews with twelve teachers working in preschool classes in seven different Swedish municipalities. The result shows that preschool class teachers express how they work to promote both individual and group writing. It reveals two different approaches regarding guiding children to develop their writing skills. First approach puts emphasis on working to develop creative and functional writing based on the child’s own interests, life experiences and level of knowledge. The second approach is primarily characterised by working on technical abilities; forming letters of the alphabet and developing the child’s phonological awareness. It was also found that there are teachers who use both approaches in their teaching. Teachers utilise various support strategies to develop children’s writing skills. These encompass everything from individual and group activities to the use of various artefacts in the teaching environment. The support that teachers offer children might be divided into high-level and low-level support.

Published: October 2019

The article examines the socio-educational as well as psychological and educational aspects of shap-ing safe behavior of an individual. As a result, there is identified a problem of finding didactic means to ensure the process of establishing safe behavior of schoolchildren. In the course of a pilot-search work was proposed a system of cases, which solves the problem of gradual, continuous and dynamic shap-ing of safe behavior of students. The author devel-oped the structure and content of such cases which are implemented within the framework of school subjects (e.g. The World Around Us, Basics of Life Safety) and focused on teaching students safe behavior considering age groups. The article also provides examples of such cases. There are given didactic grounds for developing cases: system approach, problematic nature, sequence of educa-tional activities, considering different educational achievements and students’ interests.

It is a widely spread statement nowadays that elec-tronic and online technologies offer surprising and unlimited prospects for the mankind. However to-day’s distance learning courses do not always meet modern requirements. Their evaluation by the partic-ipants of an educational process is contradictory. The article presents materials of the research con-ducted by its authors in Ural Federal Universi-ty in spring and autumn of 2018. The results of the survey held among the students and lecturers of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Math as well as students and lecturers of other Institutes of the University offering majors in engineering served the basis for the research. There were obtained data on peculiarities of perception by students of online lecturers as well as data on forms of repre-sentation used in such courses. It allowed to reveal the existing problems and to prove the need of developing distance learning taking into account psychology of perception. The authors offer such a direction of development which will increase the level of visual and sound perception of E-courses and will allow to raise not only content, but also forms of electronic learning process to a new level of adaptability and openness. The article shows that machine learning technology aimed at active modifi-cation of a visual and sound image of online lectur-ers can become an instrument of improvement.

Authors: Adewale SUNDAY OLUMUYIWA , Olopade IA , Adeniran GA , Ajao SO
Published: October 2019

In this paper, we formulated a new nine (9) compartmental mathematical model to have better understanding of parameters that influence the dynamical spread of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) interacting with Tuberculosis (TB) in a population. The model is analyzed for all the parameters responsible for the disease spread in order to find the most sensitive parameters out of all. Sub models of HIV and TB only were considered first, followed by the full HIV-TB co-infection model. Stability of HIV model only, TB model only and full model of HIV-TB co-infection were analyzed for the existence of the disease free and endemic equilibrium points.  Basic Reproduction Number (R0) was obtained using next generation matrix method (NGM), and it has been shown that the disease free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable whenever R0 > 1and unstable whenever this threshold exceeds unity. i.e.. R0 > 1 The relative sensitivity solutions of the model with respect to each of the parameters is calculated, Parameters are grouped into two categories: sensitive parameters and insensitive parameters. Numerical simulation was carried out by maple software using Runge-kunta method, to show the effect of each parameter on the dynamical spread of HIV-TB co-infection, i.e. detection of infected undetected individuals plays a vital role, it decreases infected undetected individuals. Also, increased in effective contact rate has a pronounced effect on the total population; it decreases susceptible individuals and increases the infected individuals. However, effective contact rate needs to be very low in order to guaranteed disease free environment.

Investigating factors affecting the mode choices of commuters in Kuwait city & surrounding urban areas: Strategies for a higher quality and more sustainable public transport system
Authors: Jamal Esraa , Scott David , Idris Ahmed , Lovegrove Gordon
Published: October 2019

This paper reports on the social, cultural, and demographic factors affecting Kuwaiti commuters. The objectives were to 1) investigate the awareness of Kuwaitis of transportation problems, 2) examine the perceptions of Kuwaitis of daily traffic congestion and how it affects them emotionally and physically, and the main objective 3) study the attitudes of Kuwaitis towards using public buses. An online survey was used to examine these factors, and a sample of five hundred transportation system users was obtained. The primary findings showed significant associations between the use of public transport buses and the user’s nationality, gender, age, education, and income level. Men are 2.6 times more likely to use buses, and non-Kuwaiti residents are 6.4 times more likely to use them. In relation to the perceptions of daily traffic congestion, findings indicate that with increase in travel time, commuters, in general, developed more negative feelings, such as exhaustion and stress. A large proportion of the sample population is aware of current local transportation problems and future transportation projects. The results of this study fill a gap in the knowledge of the socioeconomic and cultural factors that influence the success of sustainable public transportation solutions to the traffic challenges found in Kuwait. This knowledge is also crucial to foreign consultants working on planning and transportation projects in the region. It is recommended that officials use this new knowledge on cultural factors to develop integrated land use and transportation plans of the urban areas in Kuwait and to develop more effective and sustainable transportation demand management policies in support of UN Sustainable Development Goals that Kuwait has signed up to pursue.
Regeneration of a historic city block: the example of the relocation of the historic Atelier building to the cloister area of the Congregation of the Resurrection in Krakow
Authors: Podhalański Bogusław , Połtowicz Anna
Published: October 2019

The article discusses a project that features the relocation of the historic Atelier building, built by Krakow-based architect Wandalin Beringer (1839–1923) who was active in the early twentieth century, and the regeneration of a plot belonging to the Congregation of the Resurrection since 1885, which is located at 12 Łobzowska Street in Krakow. The method includes cutting the entire structure off at the foundation and then after reinforcing it with a steel structure transporting it in its entirety to the new location. The project included two possible variants of moving the building in a straight line, either by 21 or 59 metres and evaluates two projects of further regeneration, the adaptive reuse of the building as an exhibition and religious space as well as a proposal for the remodelling of the nearby plot that belongs to the Congregation into a space for meditation and as a recreational park. The aim of these measures is to prevent the demolition of this building, now over a century old, as a result of which a forgotten element of the cultural heritage of the city will be saved. This project was based on the results of analyses of the cultural and historical conditions of Krakow. The block of buildings in which the Atelier in question is located is a very attractive location, near to the very centre of Krakow, adjacent to residential, service and educational buildings. It is directly adjacent to the Monastery Complex of the Congregation of the Resurrection, listed as a heritage building under conservation protection (municipal registry of heritage buildings). In the second half of the twentieth century, the building was used as a workroom by artists such as Xawery Dunikowski and later by the sculptress Teodora Stasiak. The case of the Atelier may provide an inspiration for discussion as well as raising awareness among citizens and city authorities to avoid future situations in which cultural heritage may become forgotten or demolished.

Published: October 2019

In the logistics and distribution of goods, the expedition service is necessary, because the expedition is an important part of a business that has a strong attachment to the distribution. The number of deliveries from an expedition per period is uncertain, sometimes the number increases or decreases. This may result in an imbalance between existing facilities and employees and the number of shipments from customers or company policies. To overcome this, required forecasting techniques that are able to predict total shipments, as well as predict which goods and products are the most widely sent. The moving average method using the last 5 period data is used as a way of forecasting. MAPE (Mean Absolute % Error) is used as a test method, and a result of 34 %, indicates that the method is feasible to use.

Authors: Qurotaa’yun Zahra , Krisnawati Astrie
Published: October 2019

Consumptive behavior is actions taken to fulfill various types of human needs. If consumption is carried out excessively and not just based on needs, then it is not a reasonable consumption anymore, but it has become a consumptive behavior. Millennials are considered as the most consumptive generation, especially online shopping and prioritizing short-term needs rather than long-term needs. Theoretically consumptive behavior is influenced by low financial literacy. This research was conducted in the millennial generation in Bandung, which in 2019 was 19-38 years old. The sample used in this study was calculated using Slovin formula so that there were at least 400 respondents. Technique used in this research is nonprobability sampling with a purposive sampling approach. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and simple linear regression analysis. The results of this study concluded that financial literacy had a significant negative effect on the consumptive behavior of millennial generation in the city of Bandung. With the level of financial literacy and consumptive behavior included in the medium category.
Muscle Function and Muscle Size Differences in People With and Without Plantar Heel Pain: A Systematic Review
Authors: Osborne John W.A. , Menz Hylton B. , Whittaker Glen A. , Landorf Karl B.
Published: October 2019

Background

Plantar heel pain is a common condition, but little is known about the relationship between muscle strength and plantar heel pain.

Objectives

To review the evidence relating to muscle strength in those with and without plantar heel pain.

Methods

We systematically reviewed the literature by searching key databases. Included studies assessed muscle strength (or endurance or size as proxies) in those with and without plantar heel pain. A modified Downs-Black quality index was used to assess study quality and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) tool was used to evaluate the strength of the evidence. Meta-analysis was performed where possible.

Results

Seven studies met the eligibility criteria. Hallux plantar flexion, lesser toe plantar flexion, ankle dorsiflexion, ankle inversion, and ankle eversion strength values were reduced in those with heel pain compared to those without; however, there was inconsistency in the findings between studies. No difference was found in calf muscle endurance between those with and without plantar heel pain (standardized mean difference, 0.01; 95% confidence interval: −0.56, 0.59). Generally, foot muscle volume was smaller in people with plantar heel pain compared to those without. The quality of individual studies was generally high (score range, 11–16/17 on the modified Downs-Black quality index); however, the GRADE ratings suggest the strength of this evidence to be very low.

Conclusion

People with plantar heel pain have reduced strength and volume of the foot muscles, but there is no discernible difference in calf muscle endurance. These findings should be interpreted with respect to the very low GRADE ratings and are likely to change with further research. Accordingly, the role of muscle strength in plantar heel pain is worthy of further investigation. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(12):925–933. Epub 9 Oct 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.8588

Monitoring liver transplant rates in persons diagnosed with hepatitis C: a data linkage study, England 2008 to 2017
Authors: Ireland G , Simmons R , Hickman M , Ramsay M , Sabin C , Mandal S
Published: October 2019

Introduction

Liver transplantation is an important measure of burden from hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated liver disease.

Aims

To describe transplant rates and survival in individuals with HCV infection from 2008 to 2017 in England through data linkage.

Methods

This is a retrospective observational cohort study. Laboratory reports of HCV infection were linked to the Liver Transplant Registry for individuals aged 15 years and over, first diagnosed between 1998 and 2017. We estimated age-sex standardised incidence rates and used Poisson regression to investigate predictors of liver transplantation and test for a change in incidence after introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) in 2014. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to calculate post-transplant survival rates.

Results

Of 124,238 individuals diagnosed with HCV infection, 1,480 were registered and 1,217 received a liver transplant. Of individuals registered, 1,395 had post-HCV cirrhosis and 636 had hepatocellular carcinoma (618 also had post-HCV cirrhosis). Median time from HCV diagnosis to transplant was 3.4 years (interquartile range: 1.3–6.8 years). Liver transplant rates were lower 2014–17 compared with 2011–13 (incidence rate ratio: 0.64; 95% confidence interval: 0.55–0.76). Survival rates were 93.4%, 79.9% and 67.9% at 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively. Data linkage showed minimal under-reporting of HCV in the transplant registry.

Conclusion

In the post-DAA era, liver transplant rates have fallen in individuals with HCV infection, showing early impact of HCV treatment scale-up; but the short time from HCV diagnosis to liver transplant suggests late diagnosis is a problem.

of the ideological and thematic direction. It studied the significance of remarks, details, scenery, music
and video for disclosing the conflict of work, reflecting the character and the mental state of heroes.
Vertical-horizontal coordinates of the material and spiritual life of the characters are described and
analysed. The semantic content of the work, the author’s and director’s accents are oriented not
only to the person, but also to the culture that is perished. The play heroes are in difficult situations
of choice, searching for themselves, rethinking values. Working on the images and problems, P. Arie,
O. Kravchuk skilfully conveyed the volatility of mood, a complex body of hero experiences, appealing
to the audience’s feelings. With the help of music, details, colours, sounds, emotions, facial expressions,
movements the director, artist and actors emphasize the characters at all levels of stage realization.
GENRE CONVERSION IN CONTEMPORARY EUROPEAN DRAMA
Authors: Yevhenii Vasyliev
Published: October 2019

The article considers the original and common type of genre transformations in a contemporary
drama — genre conversion. Its essence is in the fact that the drama genre is not just transformed from
a non-dramatic or extra-literary genre. Concepts that are completely unrelated to the field of genology
are becoming genre categories. They are borrowed from the sphere of literary movements and trends.
In the genre system of contemporary drama, an absurd drama occupies a prominent place, which is
converted from the trend of the same name. The functioning of the absurd drama genre in European
dramaturgy (German, Polish, Serbian, Russian, Belarusian, and Ukrainian) of the late 20th and early
21st centuries is analyzed. The dramas of Andrzej Stasyuk, Bilyana Srblyanovich, Larysa Paris, Artem
Vishnevskyi, Volodymyr Serdyuk and Vasyl Kozhelyanko are involved in the analysis. The intertextual
connections between the drama of the absurd as a genre («Waiting for the Turk» by Stasyuk) with
the works of the drama of the absurd as a trend («Waiting for Godot» by Beckett, «Bald Soprano Singer»
by Ionesco, «House on the Border» by Mrożek). The genre features of the convertible genre of the absurd
drama are defined (abstract, indefinite chronotope, de-individualized characters, the interpenetration
of high, pathetic, tragic and low, comic, farcical, the coexistence of the real with the fantastic,
the destruction of the traditional constructive elements of the dramatic text; absurd plot situations;
verbal nonsense and word creativity).
AUTHOR’S TALE AS SOURCE OF GENDER IDENTITY
(BASED ON THE CYCLE “ONE AND A HALF WISH.
TALES FROM YALOSOVETA’S TREASURE CHEST” BY MARYNA PAVLENKO)
Authors: Kizilova Vitalina
Published: October 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of feminine and masculine constants, which are represented
in the cycle “One and a Half Wish. Tales from Yalosoveta’s Treasure Chest” by Maryna Pavlenko and
directed at the gender identity formation. Gender identity is supposed to be conformable valuable
behavioral instructions, that lead to learning the roles and development of personality traits. Along
with mythology and folklore, it is considered as a sum-total of standardized static roles and cultural
ideals according to the way of life. In the fairy tale it is made with an articulated assessment of acts
and actions of the characters, which depends on feminine and masculine semantics and is conditional
on mental peculiarities of Ukrainian society. Maryna Pavlenko makes an accent on usual women’s and
men’s traits, which start to acquire marginalized status because of development of democratic society,
however, she doesn’t strive for hyperborlized positivity, that is a significant feature of the author’s
tale text. Having a powerful moral-didactic potential, in the reader’s consciousness the writer’s tales
make negative behavioral stereotypes urgent too, they are connected with moral character’s traits.
In the cycle “One and a Half Wish. Fairy Tales from Yalosoveta’s Treasure Chest” Maryna Pavlenko
represents her own outlook, shows ideal life model of the person, who has archaic views about relations
and standards according to the gender area.
THE IMPLICATION FORMATIVE POTENTIAL RECEPTIVE AND SEMANTIC POTENTIAL OF SILENCE IN MODERN LITERARY AND MEDICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Lysanets Yuliia
Published: October 2019

The article aims to analyse the receptive and semantic potential of silence based on the novel “Critical Condition” (2002) by the contemporary Canadian-American physician, writer Peter Clement. The research methodology is based on the application of modern literary studies in the fields of narratology, receptive aesthetics and literary hermeneutics. The theoretical significance of the research consists in the disclosure of the narrative category of silence in the modern American literary and medical discourse. The results of the study will improve the content of training courses in the world literature and form a methodological basis for the development of special courses, theme-based seminars and academic syllabi. In the course of the study, it was found that silence within the analysed literary work symbolizes the epistemological and communicative crisis of language. The author’s intentions and receptive resource of silence in the text have been analysed. The leading role of facial expressions as a means of exteriorizing the silence effect in the “doctor — patient” communicative situation has been observed. The patient’s silence in the novel is associated with the author’s rethinking of the phenomena of illness and disability, thus stimulating the reader to embrace the active position of co-creation and receptive cooperation by filling-in the narrative “gaps” of the text. Further research is needed to study the role of the reader’s reception in constructing the silence in the “doctor — patient”communicative situation, as exemplified by the literary and medical discourse of the US prose.
'Marks on bodies' : agential cuts as felt experience
Authors: Whynacht Ardath J.
Published: October 2019

Reflecting upon the notion of 'marked bodies' (Barad, 2007) as a metaphor for violence, the author draws upon their experience on a long-term, arts-based research/creation project with women who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and critically considers the ways in which 'emotion' can be conceptualized as both a territory and an agential force. Lived experience with borderline personality disorder often involves long and repeated periods of suicidal ideation and self- harm, yet these experiences are often misunderstood and framed in  ways that invalidate emotional distress.  The author outlines the ways in which vulnerability as method and radical acceptance of emotional contagion (Brennan, 2004) can foster 'differential responsiveness' (Barad, 2007; 2014) to marks on bodies and allow for the emergence of 'borderline narratives' to emerge and intervene within expert knowledge systems.
Among the Metavivors: Social Media and Illness Narratives of Stage IV Breast Cancer Patients
Authors: Jacobson Susan
Published: October 2019

Dominant breast cancer narratives equate early detection and screening with “cure,” advocate for “awareness,” and identify women who undergo treatment for early stage disease as “survivors.” Left out of these narratives are the “metavivors”: women and men diagnosed with “incurable” metastatic breast cancer, also known as Stage IV. This article uses case studies to profile four women living with metastatic breast cancer who turn to social media to tell their stories: Sally, a former civil rights attorney turned breast cancer activist, who uses social media platforms to organize and mobilize Stage IV patients to advocate on their own behalf; Jane, who plows through databases of dense medical research to find treatments to save her own life; Jenny, a young mother dying of metastatic breast cancer who shares her experiences on a YouTube channel; and Grace, who participates in an early-stage clinical trial that she believes “cured” her, a term eschewed by both the medical establishment and fellow metavivors.
The Surrogate Effect: Technoliberalism and Whiteness in a “Post” Labor Era
Authors: Atanasoski Neda , Vora Kalindi
Published: October 2019

This paper offers preliminary reflections on the relationship between the seemingly opposed logics of white supremacy and racial liberalism by sketching the contours and workings of what the authors call technoliberalism that is a part of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. The article first overviews the relationship between the discourse of “white loss,” immigration and automation in contemporary US national politics. It then turns to how technoliberal imaginaries that argue that it is robots, not racialized others, who are taking US jobs, pin their anti-racist logics on a post-racial technological future.
RADIATION HAZARD ON EARTH AND IN NEAR-EARTH SPACE DURING MAGNETIC FIELD INVERSION
Authors: Tsareva O.O. , Popov V.Yu. , Malova H.V. , Popova E.P. , Podzolko M.V. , Zelenyi L.M.

Recent observations, such as the magnetic field strength decrease, a magnetic poles shifts and the South Atlantic anomaly increase, may indicate the beginning of the Earth’s magnetic field inversion. According to the geomagnetic dynamo model, the dipole component of the magnetic field is zeroed at the inversion time, and the quadrupole one becomes dominant. To assess the occurrence of radiation hazards on the Earth’s surface and in near-Earth space at the time of magnetic field inversion, a numerical model was developed that made it possible to compare the GCR and SCR fluxes (at minima and maxima of solar activity) penetrating the Earth (taking into account the atmosphere) and the ISS in periods of the dipole and quadrupole fields dominance. It was found that during the period of inversion the flow of GCR (high-energy particles) can increase no more than three times over the entire surface of the Earth and the radiation dose will not exceed permissible one for man. Also, a change of the magnetic field configuration will redistribute areas of increased radiation on the Earth’s surface (today these are the poles of the Earth), which can adversely affect people’s health in these areas.
GEOLOGICAL HETEROGENEITY OF A SEDIMENTARY COVER OF THE PECHORA PLATE ACCORDING TO HYDROMAGNETIC SURVEY
Authors: Brusilovsky Yu.V. , Ivanenko A.N.
Published: October 2019

In August–September, 2018 in the Pechora Sea during the 38th flight of NIS “Academician Nikolay Strakhov” complex geologic-geophysical researches were conducted. Magnetic survey was carried out along with seismic profiling where as the radiator of elastic fluctuations the electrospark Sparker radiator was used. The group of a sea magnetometry was faced by a problem of mapping of the top layer of a sedimentary cover, including allocation of zones of development of thin deposits, buried paleochannels, zones of jointing and geological explosive violations.
Hydromagnetic survey and interpretation of the received materials was as a result executed that allowed to estimate spectral structure of the abnormal magnetic field (AMF) and to allocate three frequency components to which there corresponds the deep range of sources of the field. Leaning on the received estimates of depths, and comparing them to the description of wells, also temporary bindings for the allocated deep ranges of sources of magnetic field were defined.
High-frequency component, there corresponds the arrangement of sources of AMF in the topmost part of a section. The top edges of sources lie in the range of depths from 35 to 70 m that possibly correspond to deposits of pleystotsenovy age. It is possible that the thin deposits created during the last Valdai freezing can be sources of these high-frequency anomalies.
The second deep range is created by sources of AMF the top edges of which are located in the range of depths of 260–510 m that possibly corresponds to stratigrafichesky range from top Yura to the lower chalk.
The third, the deep range of bedding of the top edges of sources of AMF allocated by authors is determined by the most low-frequency part of a range and according to authors reflects the late Devonian stage of activization of magmatism.

Kirill Vladimirovich Moroshkin was born in the family of teachers Vladimir Ivanovich Moroshkin and Maria Efimovna Lyashkevich in the town of Yelnya, Smolensk Region one hundred years ago. In 1937 he graduated from high school and entered the Oceanology Department of the Moscow Hydrometeorological Institute, renamed in connection with the War-II the Higher Military Hydrometeorological Institute of the Red Army (VVGMI KA). After graduation of the VVGMI, the technician-lieutenant Moroshkin was sent to the Hydrometeorological Service of the Pacific Fleet, where from 1943 to 1945 served as a navigator. In 1946, he came to work at the Institute of Oceanology, then to the correspondence postgraduate course to Professor V.G. Kort. On January 26, 1962 immediately after the completion of the postgraduate study, K.V. Moroshkin was appointed the first Director of the Atlantic Department of the Institute of Oceanology, where he worked in this position until August 7, 1980. He was replaced by Dr. V.T. Paka on this post. Dr. Kirill Vladimirovich Moroshkin died on July 26, 2006, at the age of 87, having worked for 61 years at the Institute of Oceanology.
