Authors: Denissova G. V. , Svitich L. G. , Smirnova O. V. , Shkondin M. V. , Yakovleva T. V.
Published: January 2021

In the article the media structure of Russian cities with over one million people is analyzed. Special attention is paid to the content analysis of city newspapers. The study was carried out in correlation between particularities and development conditions of megacities and media system. Statistics on the composition of population, economic, environmental, industrial, transport and other infrastructure indicators were taken in account. The research concept was based on modern approaches to urbanism and sociology of the city, taken as a complex of territorial, managerial, economic, socio-demographic and sociocultural perspectives. Informational and communicative components in the functioning of a modern city, especially a large one, were considered to be especially important. The study has analyzed the content and communicative peculiarities of city newspapers in 13 million-plus cities (excluding Moscow and St. Petersburg).The results of the study showed that the system and content structure of the press in million-plus cities corresponds to the role of megacities in the life of the country. It reflects the functional and infrastructural features of such cities, although some areas of life and problems (economic, environmental and social) are not sufficiently represented by newspapers. In general, newspapers are aimed to serve the leisure function, following the commercial paradigm of communication in general. Although there is reason to say that the structure of the content reflects not only the objective needs of the audience, but rather its interests. Newspapers tend to entertain rather than draw attention to solving important problems. At the same time, the possibilities of professional journalism, which has significant resources not only to keep readers' attention, but to maintain a high level of urban communication, solve urgent problems of the population and the primary tasks, megacities are facing as drivers in the implementation of national projects, are underestimated.
Information and communication technologies and the formation of cross-cultural communication skills in a foreign language environment
Authors: Lentovskaya A. V.
Published: January 2021

The article discusses the various possibilities of using ICTs in teaching Russian as a foreign language at the University of Pisa and the methods of working with a modern virtual educational environment. A brief description of the modern educational environment (and, more broadly, ecosystem) that has developed under the influence of informatization, computerization and digitalization of society in the late XX — early XXI centuries is proposed. The paper also focuses on the ways in which the Blended learning approach as an integration of classroom and online learning is put in practice by using the E-learning system and Moodle tools. Particular attention is paid to the methodology of working with the multimedia corpus of the Russian language MURCO in teaching grammar. In particular, it is demonstrated that the use of the corpus allows developing pragmatic language competence and mastering adaptation mechanisms for the adequate implementation of communicative intentions within any social scenario. In language teaching, the recognition of the need to study pragmatics using corpus data is due to the fact that the design of the verbal-semantic and linguo-cognitive levels of the secondary language personality is not enough to form a stable communicative skill. Reaching the third and the highest, i.e. pragmatic level of functioning of the secondary language personality, which allows to realize communicative-activity needs, is impossible without immersion in the environment (which can be artificially recreated) of the language being studied. In particular, it will be demonstrated how the analysis of micro-dialogs from the MURCO corpus, illustrating imperative speech acts, allows not only to describe the elements of the “expanded” semantics of the imperative mood in the Russian language, but also to reveal the socio-pragmatic factors of its use.

The Analysis of the Effect and Reduction of Carrier Frequency Offset in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)
Authors: Sucipto Willy , Pramaita I Nyoman , Wirastuti NMAE Dewi
Published: January 2021

Abstract— The development of cellular telecommunication provides users to experience fast and stable transmission. This standard of transmission is proportional to the needs of the devices and systems used. We are currently in the fourth generation (4G) of cellular technology. The key technologies used in 4G are Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) which uses the concept of orthogonality for bandwidth efficiency and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) which uses the concept of diversity to improve performance. But in implementation this system will have problems with the transmission channel. The problem that occurs is signal attenuation due to Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO). This CFO will cause the orthogonal character built from the OFDM system to experience a decline in performance. The decline in performance is due to the occurrence of Intercarrier Interference (ICI). To overcome this problem, the method used in this simulation are Improved Sinc Power Pulse (ISP) and Rectangular Pulse (REC). The results showed that ISP had a relatively better BER value than REC and without using the pulse shaping method. The minimum BER value obtained from the simulation is ISP with a value of 0.0001 while REC produces a value of 0.0006 and without pulse shaping produces a BER value of 0.0038.

PLTS atap stadion Kapten I Wayan Dipta dirancang sebagai catu daya tambahan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan beban listrik stadion. Perancangan PLTS atap menggunakan 2 skenario. Skenario 1 memiliki kapasitas 83.300 Wp dengan modul surya sejumlah 238 unit dan inverter 2 unit menghasilkan energi 112.321 kWh/tahun dan akan menyuplai beban siang trafo 2 dan 3 stadion sebesar 35.470 kWh/tahun. Skenario 2 berkapasitas 156.800 Wp dengan modul surya sejumlah 448 unit dan 4 inverter menghasilkan energi sebesar 211,458 kWh/tahun  dan akan menyuplai beban siang trafo 1 stadion sebesar 100.919 kWh/tahun. Biaya investasi skenario 1 sebesar Rp.1.178.760.000 dengan total pendapatan sampai tahun ke-25 sebesar Rp.1.090.635.084 sedangkan pada skenario 2 biaya investasi sebesar Rp.2.237.860.000 dan pendapatan sampai tahun ke-25 sebesar Rp.3.126.761.273  Pada analisis kelayakan ekonomi menggunakan metode NPV, PI, dan DPP hanya skenario 2 yang dapat dikatakan layak karena pada tahun ke-25 pendapatan lebih besar dari investasi, sedangkan pada skenario 1 pendapatan akan bernilai sama dengan investasi saat tahun ke-29. Hal ini berarti sistem pada skenario 1 tidak layak karena memiliki DPP lebih lama dibandingkan umur proyek.

Published: January 2021

Background: In the pancreatic cancer can occur pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) that can be detected by measurement of fecal elastase-1 level. The aim of this study was to identify the proportion and the degree of PEI, proportion of steatorrhea in pancreatic cancer, the concentration difference of faecal elastase-1 between resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer and mean concentration difference of faecal elastase-1 based on the stage of pancreatic cancer.Method:  This was a cross-sectional study to determine the concentration difference of faecal elastase-1 between resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer. This research was conducted at Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital, several network hospitals of Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital, and Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makasar hospital from November 2014 until May 2015. The statistical test used to assess differences in the levels of faecal elastase-1 between resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer was Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test was performed to assess the differences between the mean levels of faecal elastase 1 based on staging pancreatic cancer.Results: A total of 48 subjects with pancreatic cancer participated in this study, with resectable category was 19 (39.6%) subjects, and 29 (60.4%) subjects were unresectable. The proportion of patients with pancreatic cancer who experienced PEI was 75% (CI 95% 0.63 - 0.87) and the proportion of patients with pancreatic cancer who showed steatorrhea symptoms was 68.8% (CI 95% 0.557 - 0.819). There was no significant difference of faecal elastase-1 levels (P = 0.738) between the resectable and unresectable whereas the resectable group median value was 38.0 (15-500) μg/g and in unresectable group was 35.0 (15-500) μg /g. There was no significant difference (p = 0.767) in faecal elastase-1 levels based on the stage of pancreatic cancer with median (range) in stage IB 36 (15-100) pg/g, stage IIA 62 (15-500) pg/g, stage III 15 (15-500) μg/g, and stage IV 36 (15-500) μg/g.Conclusion: This study found a high proportion of PEI and steatorrhea in pancreatic cancer. There was no significant difference in faecal elastase-1 levels between the resectable and unresectable pancreatic cancer. There was no significant difference between mean levels of faecal elastase-1 based on the stage of pancreatic cancer.

Wizja ponadlokalna... O Praktykach czytania Grażyny B. Tomaszewskiej
Authors: Waligóra Janusz
Published: January 2021

The following article is a review of Grażyna Tomaszewska’s book entitled Praktyki czytania. Ponowoczesna interpretacja a szkoła (Gdańsk 2019). One of the major advantages of this publication is a contextual teaching strategy. Not only does it help to define the subject area of the text but also enables the reader to go beyond the presence and relate to the tradition, which tends to be a tough task in school reality. Thanks to an interesting mixture of the cultural texts, the localness (in the form of separateness and distinction) can mirror itself in a wider historical perspective. As a result, both the old and the contemporary show the quality of universality. In order to broaden the contexts, Tomaszewska also uses (post) modern interpretation theories (feminism, postcolonialism), which give the texts a fresh look and revise previous interpretations.

Being impressive theoretically-wise as it is (literary theory, literary science, didactics), Tomaszewska’s book still seems to have more powerful impact in practical aspects. Here, we can witness how interpretations of cultural texts are created, how they surprise and provoke. The author picks contemporary poems of Szymborska, Hartwig, Miłosz and Herbert along with Wiesław Myśliwski’s prose (Kamień na kamieniu) and Jacek Dehnel’s novel Matka Makryna. Recapturing of the tradition is presented through the books and heroes of Romanticism (including the mother Makryna), which, once again, proved to be a sense-making and life- giving movement that raises questions and brings meanings.

Je li kategorija apstraktnih reči i pojmova u kognitivnim naukama didaktički opravdana?

Published: January 2021

Iako se apstraktne imenice kao gramatička kategorija u srpskim osnovnim školama uvode već na početku starijih razreda, njihov status u sistemu nije stabilan kao što se na prvi pogled čini.

Published: January 2021

Objetivo: Apresentar o processo de construção e implementação do plano municipal de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS), por meio do mapeamento do conhecimento e da demanda dos profissionais e usuários da rede assistencial de saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa-ação, desenvolvida em 2019, em um município de Minas Gerais, por meio da construção de um diagnóstico situacional após aplicação de questionários para usuários, agentes comunitários de saúde e profissionais de saúde das demais categorias, atuantes principalmente na Atenção Primária à Saúde. O estudo foi aprovado por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: Constatou-se que parcela significativa dos usuários faz o uso regular de pelo menos uma das PICS e gostariam de utilizar tais práticas de modo complementar à terapia tradicional, caso sejam indicadas por um profissional de saúde. Contudo, embora a maioria dos profissionais do município tenha interesse em implementar as práticas no cuidado diário dos seus pacientes, a oferta dessas práticas ocorre de maneira não sistematizada, sem amparo da Gestão Municipal. Conclusão: O cenário mapeado indica a necessidade de intervenções que favoreçam a construção e consolidação sistematizada das PICS de modo participativo, como uma proposição de política municipal de saúde, com participação ativa de usuários, profissionais de saúde, e instituições educacionais.

Curing stage by utilizing Water Bath (W.B.) one of the stages of making a denture, in this investigation, we assess the influence of utilizing W.B. and diode laser light of frequency (1064nm) with force 50mW on samples of heat-curing acrylic (PMMA) on transverse strength of this material. We utilized a sample with dimension (8x 0.8x0.3) cm. 40 samples utilized in this investigation, 20 illuminated by laser with deferent span time of light, and the staying 20 samples prepared by regular W.B. procedure. We estimated the samples' dimension when prepared by the two procedures. From a correlation on the influence of these two procedures on the quality of the samples by utilizing t-test, we reason that the samples that illuminated with laser become more quality and when we increment the term time (p>1), while there are no concedes between the samples that rewarded with ordinary W.B. (p>0.05). We presumed that utilizing laser be more accomplishment in improving the quality of heat-curing acrylic material that utilized for denture base.
Review on traditional diagnosis and management of snakebite in Ayurveda

Published: January 2021

Toxicology started right from the prehistoric era when man lived in caves of forests. Reptiles originated nearly 240 million years ago, but man was born only nearly about 4 million years back. A man had to survive; he had to fifth against many odds. Snake venom is one of these odds, and treatment of poisonous would have started with the first affliction by poison on man. It is believed that in India, about 2 million people are bitten by snakes annually of which 15,000 to 30000 cases prove fatal. The problem became more after urbanization and deforestation. In the early decades of the 19th century, it has been recorded by the scholars that the mortality rate in snakebite victims was higher chiefly in rural India by the unavailability of emergency medicines and poor transportation facilities. Still, recently this has been changed significantly by providing ASV (anti snake venom) as a primary treatment through hospitals of tertiary levels. Traditional poisoning healing system was also parallel to this in rural areas of south India, especially in the state of Kerala, belief in the Traditional poisoning healing system were the main motives for it. Here an attempt has been made to explore the Traditional Visha chikitsa Sampradaya of Kerala, which is quite different from classical Granthas of Ayurveda (textbook) such as Bruhatrayees along with mainly used formulations in Visha chikitsa.

Rheumatic heart disease(RHD) is an inflammatory disease that mostly occurs in children of 5-15 years old. The major complications of RHD include arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation, stroke, infective endocarditis, cardiac failure, and also noted that problems increased in pregnancy. This is a rare case of RHD and urosepsis in a 67- year- old patient with a known history of cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary Arteriovenous(AV) malformation, acute renal failure, and hyponatremia presented to the emergency department with complaints of fever, severe breathlessness, and cough. The patient initially showed clinical manifestations of elevated inflammatory markers, neutrophilic leucocytosis, and hyponatremia, indicating septic shock. Our patient had been empirically treated with Piperacillin-Tazobactam because of the clinical features of urosepsis with septic shock. Based on Bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) culture with non-fermenter Presumptive Acinetobacter and Klebsiella species and culture sensitivity report antibiotics were changed to Colistin and meropenem. The presence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR Kp) entails stopping meropenem and adding tigecycline. Further creatinine clearance declined, and the drug Colistin was changed to Polymixin B. Meropenem was readministered based on the culture reports with scanty growth of multidrug-resistant Proteus mirabilis. Rational use of antibiotics along with the appropriate supportive measures is a meaningful measure in treating a rare and complicated condition of RHD with urosepsis.

Dwa kościoły. Budownictwo kultowe w międzywojennych Niemczech jako przestrzeń modernistycznych eksperymentów
Authors: Makała Rafał
Published: January 2021

The time between WW I and II was a period of intensive development of church architecture in Germany. In the new situation after the defeat in WW I on the wave of Christian renewal movements, the concept of the church as a building corresponding to its functions, as an object expressing the character of religion and the vision of a congregation as a community in modern society was re -formulated. The dynamically developing church architecture was an area of intense experiments (especially in the 1920s.), creating new forms, as well as devising new iconography by Rudolf Schwartz, Otto Bartning, or Dominikus Böhm. The paper draws attention to a certain community of the main antagonized Christian and Protestant denominations on the example of two buildings erected on the eastern periphery of the then Germany (from 1945 constituting the western part of Poland): the Catholic Church of St Anthony in Schneidemühl (now: Piła, Hans Herkommer, 1928–1930) and the Protestant Cross-Church in Stettin (now: Szczecin, Adolf Thesmacher, 1929–1931). The first was built in a small town as a representative seat of the Prelature, a branch of the Catholic Church in the Protestant region, near the then border with (revived again) Poland. The building is a continuation of an innovative and conservative concept realized by Herkommer at the Frauenfriedenskirche in Frankfurt am Main (1927–1929), and is a testimony to the search for forms expressing the rationalist aspirations for the renewal of the Catholic Church, however without abandoning the main principles of the Tradition. For this purpose, Herkommer applies ‘industrial’ forms used in the Bauhaus circle, creating a clearly avant-garde building: not only in the local context of a small border town of eastern Germany, but also in the Catholic tradition of sacred architecture. Hiring an avant-garde architect and using modernist forms was the decision of one man: Monsignor Maximilian Kaller, the leader of the Prelature. The Church of the Cross in Szczecin was raised in a luxurious district of a great Protestant city, so it was the parish church of the Protestant elite. Although built of brick and clearly referring to the tradition of the Gothic architecture of this region, the Church of the Cross also reveals its striving for the maximum reduction of forms and the use of the language of abstraction. When building a Protestant church, Thesmacher resorted to forms applied primarily in Catholic architecture, especially to the forms used by Herkommer. Thesmacher created a facility expressing attachment to the local tradition and manifesting the modernity of the Evangelical church in Pomerania. As a result, both churches are a testimony to functionalist aspirations, although, of course, the functions differed from those on which, for example, the founders of the Bauhaus were focused.

Overexposure of the kidneys to cisplatin [Cisplatin (cis- diaminedichloroplatinum II) (CDDP)] and cisplatin complexes cause degradation of the renal cells, and eventually lead to renal failure. Agents like antioxidants, modulators of nitric oxide (NO) and anti-apoptotic molecules are reported to reduce nephrotoxicity. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that supplementation of antioxidant spirulina and vitamin c reduces cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity. The study was carried out on female Balb /C mice of the following five groups: control (i); cisplatin (ii); vitamin c (iii); spirulina (iv); and vitamin c + spirulina + cisplatin (v). Plasma urea and creatinine levels were estimated 3 and 6 days after the injection of cisplatin and uptake studies with 99m Technician-ethylene dicysteine was performed to assess the renal clearance rate. Kidneys were isolated and processed for electron microscopy and light microscopy. The activity and concentration of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase and GST was also determined. Dual supplementation of spirulina and vitamin c significantly protected cisplatin-induced increased levels of serum urea, creatinine, improved renal clearance rate, the declined renal antioxidant enzymes and increased LPO levels. Hence, we conclude that supplementation of spirulina and vitamin c had a beneficial effect on cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in mice.

The properties of biomaterials such as biocompatibility, which is non-allergic and non-toxic to be the main requirements that must be owned by the biomaterials because of the presence of direct contact between the biomaterial with body parts. Therefore the study of biomaterials is constantly carried to repair the biocompatibility. In this research, the improvement of the properties the compatibility of the metal alloy AISI 316L with superimposed ideal bio-inert Ti-Sn with the method of Surface Mechanical Alloying Treatment. Manufacture of the alloy with bio-inert Ti-Sn using a variation of the composition of Sn of 10% and Sn 20% done using Mechanosynthesis process. The results of the process are sintered with the variation of temperature of 800oC and 900oC for 2 hours and then were characterized by an optical microscope. Corrosion testing of the alloy was carried out with Polarization Tafel System Three Electrode method for 10 minutes. The results of characterization with an optical microscope shows there is a layer of bio-inert Ti-Sn the results of the process of SMAT of AISI 316L. The results of corrosion testing on alloy AISI 316L Ti-Sn in a solution of SBF showed that the content of Ti-10%Sn with a temperature of 800oC the obtained corrosion rate 4.785 MPY and at 900oC amounted to 4.155 MPY as well as on the content of Ti-20%Sn with a temperature of 800oC the obtained corrosion rate 3.525 MPY and at 900oC amounted to 3.234 MPY.
Does Executive MBA Deliver? Exploration of Developmental Outcomes and Participants’ Perceptions of Delivery Effectiveness
Authors: Kitchlew Naveda
Published: January 2021

Critics of the value of the Executive MBA program have not adequately considered the perceptions of Executive MBA students. This paper evaluates performance of an Executive MBA program by exploring students’ preferred developmental outcomes and perceptions about the effectiveness of their Executive MBA program towards delivering the targeted outcomes. Interviews, focus groups and survey were conducted with program’s directors, staff, and current and graduated students in a large privately run university in Punjab province of Pakistan. As a result of a rigorous process, the study identified twenty-seven critical outcomes under two categories namely “personal outcomes” and “professional outcomes” which students consider important and urge their Executive MBA program to deliver. On the whole students appear to be satisfied with their Executive MBA program; however, the effectiveness of their program is below their expectations. Identification of the exact outcomes in this study provide directions for Executive MBA administrators to make their curriculum and pedagogical/andragogical techniques more relevant and value-oriented for their students. Based on these findings, it is inferred that Executive MBA programs’ planning should consider students as the protagonist of their programs’ planning process.

Published: January 2021

El presente artículo tiene como finalidad realizar el análisis de la política de inclusión educativa en el Ecuador y su relación con el accionar pedagógico vigente en los escenarios educativos. Los sistemas educativos del estado ecuatoriano a pesar de estar alineados a parámetros internacionales de inclusión, no ha superado la brecha de discriminación a las personas con necesidades educativas especiales (NEE). El presente documento aporta principalmente a la innovación en el pensamiento pedagógico de los docentes, para ello, parte del informe de Warnock (documento que fue elaborado por la Comisión de Educación británica) el mismo que revoluciona en la forma de pensar de todos cuando revela que “no existen niños ineducables” (Warnock, 1987, p. 15). La metodología utilizada en la estructuración de este trabajo es de carácter inductiva – deductiva y se apoya en la investigación bibliográfica. Los resultados del presente estudio revelan falencias y dificultades en la inclusión educativa de estudiantes con NEE, los problemas más relevantes que se observaron fueron las deficiencias conceptuales en torno a inclusión educativa, escaso conocimiento sobre un currículo inclusivo y debilidades en una supuesta homogeneidad en el aula.  Este documento presenta brevemente algunas perspectivas y desafíos para promover un pensamiento inclusivo pero, sobre todo, abierto a la diversidad.
Estudio lingüístico sobre las dimensiones contextuales de la caricatura política
Authors: Pérez Mariela , Vielma-Orellana Yonarlli
Published: January 2021

La caricatura constituye uno de los géneros periodísticos de opinión de gran auge en las últimas décadas, en ella se conjugan multimodalmente la ironía, el humor y la sátira para analizar los hechos relevantes de un país. El análisis del discurso permite establecer una relación conjunta entre la realidad social y la cognitiva en este tipo de texto. Esta investigación se propone analizar, desde el enfoque pragmático, el discurso de la caricatura política de Eduardo Sanabria sobre la contienda electoral de 2017 en Venezuela bajo un enfoque cualitativo y diseño descriptivo-exploratorio. El análisis del discurso es la técnica empleada. El corpus estuvo conformado por cinco caricaturas publicadas en el diario El Nacional días previos a los comicios y cuyo tópico central se circunscribe a la convocatoria electoral.  El análisis identificó los contextos: icónico – lingüístico, situacional y sociocultural. Los actos de habla y las figuras retóricas se identificaron como estrategias discursivas dirigidas a evidenciar la intencionalidad de una comunicación ostensiva como es la caricatura. Se tomaron los aportes de la Teoría de la Relevancia (Sperber y Wilson, 2004) y de la Teoría de los actos de habla (Austin, 2016; Searle, 2017). Se evidencia un macroacto de habla ilocutivo como es la convocatoria a votar. Se concluye que el discurso de las caricaturas de Sanabria expresa la crítica sobre el evento electoral a partir del juego de lo implícito, construido discursivamente entre lo icónico – lingüístico, el componente retórico y el contexto, estableciéndose una relación de complicidad con el lector.
estereotipos de género en la construcción de la mujer fang: una educación patriarcal para la sumisión
Authors: Bituga-Nchama Pedro
Published: January 2021

El objetivo fundamental de esta investigación es evidenciar que los estereotipos de género forman parte de la educación patriarcal que recibe la mujer fang. Este modelo de educación sociocultural está basado en la sumisión y en la dependencia, con pautas de comportamiento para someter a la mujer al servicio del hombre. En un contexto así, no se puede hablar de igualdad porque se infravalora las aptitudes de la mujer, por considerarla socioculturalmente inferior al hombre y que, por lo tanto, debe quedar solo en el ámbito privado. Este modelo de educación promovido por la existencia de estereotipos de género, es una manera de construir socialmente el tipo de mujer que necesita la sociedad. Por ello, la solución que se propone es el desmantelamiento de los estereotipos de género que constituyen los óbices sociales creados por el patriarcado, para favorecer exclusivamente a los hombres en detrimento de las mujeres. El método utilizado en esta investigación es explicativo-descriptivo, a partir de la metodología cualitativa, basada en la revisión bibliográfica y la observación directa sobre la situación de la mujer en la cultura fang, en cuanto a los estereotipos de género se refiere. Los resultados alcanzados con este estudio, ponen de manifiesto que es necesario el empoderamiento de la mujer para que salga del status quo sempiterno en que se encuentra debido a la educación sociocultural que se la ha inculcado. Por eso, las voces mismas de las mujeres fang, reclaman desde los colectivos feministas, un desmantelamiento total de este modelo educativo patriarcal.
