The concept and features of corporations in Russian legislation
Authors:   Bryansk State Academician I.G. Petrovski University, Sakharova Julia , Gribchenko Irina ,   Bryansk State Academician I.G. Petrovski University
Published: July 2022

As a result of the reform of Russian civil legislation in 2014, the concept of a corporation was enshrined in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, but the problem of the legal nature and place of a corporation in Russian civil legislation remains open. In the legal literature, approaches to the definition of the term "corporations" are far from ambiguous. The reasons for the differences in the interpretation of the term "corporation" are seen depending on its legal status.

Published: July 2022

The article presents the issues of new formations of the electric power industry in the conditions of digitalization, which has its own idea for each specialist in different ways. The discussion on this issue takes into account such factors that have an impact on public consciousness. The conditions bearing a direct connection in the present with physics, the energy system under consideration and the laws of its activity remain outside the field of its discussion. The basic rules for the construction of electric power systems were described in the article, under which, the formation of energy innovations in the conditions of uncontrolled development of the Internet of Things looks preferable. Of particular importance is the consideration of the energy system as an association of self-balancing nodes (large, medium, small).
Digital Dialogue in Learning: Cognitive, Social, Existential Features and Risks
Authors: Baeva Liudmila Vladimirovna
Published: July 2022

Digitalization of socio-cultural phenomena, including the education system, generates transformations of their qualitative characteristics and parameters, which requires research from the standpoint of methodological analysis and assessment of their possible consequences on humans and society. A significant element of the digital environment, in general, and educational, in particular, is the dialogue, the role of which has both cognitive and ideological, existential, social aspects. The purpose of the research is a philosophical analysis of the digital transformation of dialogue in the context of the educational process, an assessment of its potential and impact on the individual. The research methodology has a complex, interdisciplinary character and is associated with the application of an existential approach to understanding the essence of dialogue (M. Bakhtin, M. Buber, G. Marcel, E. Levinas), the theory of the development of individual thinking by L.S. Vygotsky, developed by the author of the theories of electronic (digital) culture and based on modern developments in the field of the introduction of digital tools in education. The study shows that dialogue in the digital learning environment becomes not so much a form of rapprochement, integration of subjects, as a form of autonomy, isolation, individuals, which changes the nature of learning and has social and existential consequences. This creates the need to transform the digital learning environment when using it from the position of supplementing it with ethical, socio-psychological and emotional components and support tools for the student. Based on the existential-axiological analysis, the positive and risky features of digital dialogue as one of the phenomena of electronic culture and online learning tools are revealed. The concept of digital dialogue in learning, the characteristics of its features, functions, role and influence on the learner in the digital environment are presented. The difficulties of dialogic learning characteristic of the digital environment are revealed, recommendations of a methodological and methodical nature for application in the education system are presented.

Authors: Ahlberg Mia , Aberg Katarina , Lundborg Louise , Liu Xingrong , Norman Mikael , Stephansson Olof , Pettersson Karin , Ekborn Marie , Cnattingius Sven
Published: July 2022

Objective: To compare labour outcomes in a midwifery continuity of care
(MCoC) model to standard midwifery care. Design: Matched cohort study.
Setting: Public healthcare during pregnancy and childbirth, Stockholm,
Sweden. Population: Women giving birth at Karolinska University Hospital
site Huddinge in Stockholm between January 1st, 2019 to August 31st,
2021. Methods: Propensity score matching was applied to obtain a matched
set from the standard care group for every woman in the MCoC model.
Based on the matched cohort, we estimated risk ratios (RR) for binary
outcomes with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Main Outcome Measures:
Interventions during labor, mode of birth, and preterm birth
(<37 gestational weeks). Results: Compared with standard care,
women in the MCoC model were more likely to give birth spontaneously (RR
1.06 95% CI 1.02-1.10), and less likely to have an elective caesarean
section on maternal request (RR 0.24 95% CI 0.11-0.51). The risk of
preterm birth was reduced in the MCoC group (RR 0.51 95% CI 0.32-0.82).
Conclusions: The MCoC model was associated with fewer medical
interventions and improved maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Published: July 2022

Objective To conduct a feasibility whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study
in families to identify genetic variants relevant to unexplained
pregnancy loss. Methods We conducted a pilot WGS study of four families
with recurrent pregnancy loss, including parents, healthy live births,
and losses, which included an embryonic loss (<10 weeks’
gestation), fetal deaths (10-20 weeks’ gestation) and stillbirths (≥ 20
weeks’ gestation). We used the Illumina platform for WGS and
state-of-the-art protocols to identify single nucleotide variants (SNVs)
following various modes of inheritance. Results We identified 87 SNVs
involving 75 genes in embryonic loss (n=1), 370 SNVs involving 228 genes
in fetal death (n=3), and 122 SNVs involving 122 genes in stillbirth
(n=2). Of these, 22 de novo, 6 autosomal dominant and an X-linked
recessive SNVs were pathogenic (probability of being loss-of-function
intolerant >0.9), impacting known genes (e.g., DICER1,
FBN2, FLT4, HERC1, and TAOK1) involved in embryonic/fetal development
and congenital abnormalities. Further, we identified missense compound
heterozygous SNVs impacting genes (e.g., VWA5B2) in two fetal death
samples that were absent from live births and population controls,
providing evidence for haplosufficient genes relevant to pregnancy loss.
Conclusions In this pilot study, we provide evidence for de novo and
inherited SNVs relevant to pregnancy loss. Our findings provide
justification for conducting WGS using larger numbers of families and
warrant validation by targeted sequencing to ascertain causal variants.
Elucidating genes causing pregnancy loss may facilitate the development
of risk stratification strategies and novel therapeutics.

Published: July 2022

Our review want to identify most incident risk factors that determine
the persistence of PGP at 3-6 months after childbirth in women with PPGP
or PPGP and PLBP, because of about 1/3 does not recover after childbirth
and continues to experience symptoms after three months and in some
cases up to two years. The research was performed on the databases
ofMedline, Cochrane, Pedro, Scopus, Web of Science and Chinal from
December 2018 to January 2022 following the indications of the PRISMA
statement 2009 - and updated according to the PRISMA 2020- including
observational cohort studies and prospective questionnaires in English.
Two authors independently selected studies excluding specific,
traumatic, gynecological / urological cause PGP or isolated PLBP and
studies that did not include the primary outcome (presence / absence of
PGP); studies with an initial assessment in pregnancy / within one month
of delivery and with at least a follow-up at least 3 months after
delivery were included. Two independent authors then performed an
evaluation of the ROB using the QUIPS tool. Finally, in-depth
qualitative analysis was conducted, since due to high degree of
heterogeneity in the data collection of the included studies and lack of
raw data suitable for quantitative analysis, it was not possible to
carry out the originally assumed meta-analyzes for subgroups. High
levels of pain in pregnancy, high number of positive provocative tests,
history of LBP / LPP, high levels of disability in pregnancy, neurosis
and high levels of Fear Avoidance Belief are main predictors of PPGP.

Climate change governance in forestry and related sectors: Respondents’ attitudes in selected forest regions and national parks in Serbia
Authors: Stanisic Mirjana , Nedeljkovic Jelena , Nonic Dragan
Published: July 2022

Effectively combating climate change involves recognition of its negative
environmental, economic and social impacts. Climate change governance
requires the participation of stakeholders from different sectors, and the
alignment of their interest and influence in the decision-making
process. This paper aims to determine the attitudes of respondents towards
the existence of climate change and assess their negative impact on
forestry, forest ecosystems and protected areas. In addition, the goal is to
identify differences in the assessment of interest and influence between
stakeholders in climate change governance in selected forest regions and
national parks in Serbia. Primary data were collected through interviews (103
in total), in the period from March 2017 to July 2019, with representatives
of organizations from the public and civil sector, who deal with issues of
forestry, nature conservation and climate change. Respondents believe that
climate changes have a negative environmental, social and economic impact on
forestry, forest ecosystems and protected areas. It was found that there are
differences in interest and influence in climate change governance between
stakeholders, regardless of sectoral affiliation. In addition, stakeholder
influence assessments were found to be lower than interest in climate change
governance. Opportunities for enhancing stakeholder interest and influence in
climate change governance have been proposed.
Healthcare Accounting Research: An Analysis, Review, and Suggestions for Future Work
Authors: Yonce S. Kiely , Barnes Beau Grant
Published: July 2022

This paper analyzes and reviews healthcare-related accounting literature, with a focus on research published between 1990 and 2020. We systematically collect a global sample of 413 papers and categorize each paper along several dimensions, including accounting sub-discipline, research methodology, journal quality, and geographic origin. We find that high-quality accounting journals publish healthcare-related research throughout the period, but publication in the most elite (i.e., “top 3”) journals is declining. Further, we find that archival accounting research in healthcare is primarily a North American undertaking, while field studies and case studies are more popular internationally. We review the sampled research along with additional (pre-1990 and post-2020) literature in an inclusive summary of extant healthcare-related accounting research, organized by topic and focused on identifying avenues for additional research. We then discuss several healthcare-related public data sources.
Autoantibodies in central nervous system and neuromuscular autoimmune disorders: A narrative review
Authors: Jeon Mi Young , Seok Jin Myoung , Fujihara Kazuo , Kim Byoung Joon
Published: July 2022

The discovery of novel autoantibodies in neurological disorders contributes to a better understanding of its pathogenesis, improves the accuracy of diagnosis, and leads to new treatment strategies. Advances in techniques for the screening and detection of autoantibodies have enabled the discovery of new antibodies in the central nervous system (CNS) and neuromuscular diseases. Cell-based assays using live or fixed cells overexpressing target antigens are widely used for autoantibody-based diagnosis in clinical practice. Common pathogenic autoantibodies are unknown in most patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Novel pathogenic autoantibodies to aquaporin-4 and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) have been identified in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder and MOG antibody-associated disease, respectively. These diseases have clinical similarities to MS, but with the discovery of pathogenic autoantibodies, they are now recognized as distinct disease entities. Antibodies to paranodal membrane proteins such as neurofascin-155, contactin‑1, contactin‑associated protein‑1 in CIDP and muscle-specific kinase and low-density lipoprotein receptor–related protein 4 in myasthenia gravis were added to the profiles of autoantibodies in neurological disorders. Despite the relatively low frequency of seropositivity, autoantibody detection is currently essential for the clinical diagnosis of CNS and neuromuscular autoimmune disorders, and differential approaches to seropositive patients will contribute to more personalized medicine. We reviewed recent discoveries of autoantibodies and their clinical implications in CNS and neuromuscular disorders.

PREFERENCE MODELLING IN R: A TRIAL ON HOME BUYERS’ WILLINGNESS TO PAY
Authors: Syahid Ahmed , Ali Tareq Mohammad , Nahar Aizul
Published: July 2022

Modelling stated preferences is an almost mystical science and as there is no data explaining how the sustainable feature in homes would effectively encourage homebuyers to invest in sustainable housing, it is important to investigate the buyers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for sustainable housing. The study of stated preferences often requires the use of specialised software or proprietary programs, which can be difficult and/or expensive to use. This study proposes to re-purpose the ‘support.CEs’ package, a program written in the R programming language, from its agronomic roots to measure home buyer preferences for sustainable housing. These are demonstrated through a stated preference discrete choice experiment of choosing model houses with differing levels of energy savings, renewable energy generation, landscaping, soundproofing, ventilation, and price differences. A pilot study was performed using an online survey, constructed using the LMA design tool provided in the ‘support.CEs’ package. The survey was also separated into six blocks of six questions each to reduce the cognitive burden on respondents. The survey was distributed through social media channels. Preliminary results with a limited sample of 20 respondents with mixed income, age, and occupational demographics, analysed using the package’s clogit function, that performs conditional logit estimations, have shown that the results have a statistically reliable adjusted rho-squared value and that all coefficients show the expected signs. From this study, it can be concluded that the ‘support.CEs’ package can be used to model home buyer preferences and that adequate blocking allows for the measurement of a higher number of variables despite having smaller sample sizes.

Published: July 2022

Metabolic syndrome and its defining components remain an understudied area of human health research in Kenya and Africa. Understanding the relationship between substance dependence and the occurrence of metabolic syndrome is critical in prevention and clinical management of the related complications. This was a cross-sectional study in 6 rehabilitative centers in 3 counties in Kenya with a conveniently selected sample size of 166 participants. A signed informed consent was obtained from each participant following which anthropometric and biochemical measurements were obtained. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used to describe the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and the relationship of the defining criteria with the substance of dependence. A quarter of the respondents were overweight and 6% obese. Fasting blood glucose was elevated in 62% of the sampled population with triglycerides having a significant variation with a mean of 216.95mg/ dL and a standard deviation of 151.107. A prevalence rate of 4.8% was established based on the Harmonized Joint Scientific Statement on Metabolic syndrome for the African region. 87.34% of the population showed at least one elevated defining criteria with alcohol as the most prevalent substance of dependence. There was statistical difference of fasting blood glucose and triglycerides with alcohol use. The findings indicate that alcohol use resulted to elevated levels of fasting blood glucose and triglycerides. There is need for emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to substance dependence and metabolic syndrome management integrating physical activity interventions, dietary modifications and psychotherapeutic approaches.
МОЖЛИВОСТІ РОЗРАХУНКОВИХ МЕТОДІВ МОНІТОРИНГУ ПРИ ВИЗНАЧЕННІ ЕКОЛОГІЧНОЇ ДОЦІЛЬНОСТІ В ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ МІСЬКИХ ТРАНСПОРТНИХ ПОТОКІВ

Published: July 2022

Одним із основних джерел забруднення атмосферного повітря міст у наш час є автомобільний транспорт. Наслідком збільшення кількості автотранспорту є зростання рівня забруднення забудованих територій. Актуальним та перспективним напрямом досліджень є застосування комплексу методів моніторингу для визначення внеску транспортної мережі міських агломерацій у забруднення атмосферного басейну та розробка заходів щодо оптимізації дорожнього руху. Оцінка екологічної доцільності під час організації дорожнього руху в місті визначалася розрахунком обсягів викидів автотранспорту на регульованих перехрестях залежно від інтенсивності трафіку. З використанням розрахункових методів моніторингу проаналізовано інтенсивність викидів автотранспорту на досліджуваних ділянках м. Черкаси. Кореляції між інтенсивністю транспортних потоків та обсягами викидів на регульованих перехрестях не відмічено. В зоні дослідних ділянок виявлено перевищення допустимого рівня забруднення атмосфер-ного повітря за всіма речовинами. Найбільші перевищення ГДК забруднюючих речовин спостерігалися на вулицях з інтенсивним рухом автомобільного транспорту і тривалим часом забо-ронного сигналу світлофора. Так, наприклад, перехрестя вул. Чорновола – проспект Хіміків характеризується середньою інтенсивністю транспортного потоку, але має найбільші значення викидів забруднюючих речовин через значну тривалість заборонного сигналу світлофора. Пропонується зменшити час сигналу на 30 %, що зменшить концентрацію шкідливих речовин, таких як СO, NO2, вуглеводні та SO2 у кілька разів.
OSMANLI-MACAR AHİDNAMELERİ BAĞLAMINDA OSMANLI-MACARİSTAN İLİŞKİLERİNİN GELİŞİMİ VE II. BAYEZİD DÖNEMİNE AİT TÜRKÇE MACARİSTAN AHİDNAMELERİ ÜZERİNE İNCELEMELER

Osmanlılar XIV. yüzyıldan itibaren çeşitli devlet ve topluluklara vermiş oldukları ahidnamelerle hukuki, siyasi, ekonomik ve diplomatik ilişkilerin temellendirilmesini ve bir esas çerçevesine oturtulmasını sağlamışlardır. Bu bağlamda diplomatik belgeler olarak ahidnameler Osmanlı diplomasi tarihinin ve siyasal tarihinin şekillenmesinde temel belgelerdir. Bu belgeler içerisinde XV. yüzyıldan itibaren metinlerine rastladığımız Macaristan ahidnameleri XV-XVI. yüzyıl Osmanlı-Macaristan ilişkilerini anlama ve değerlendirme bakımından en temel kaynaklar olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı ahidnamelerinin Osmanlı-Macaristan diplomatik ilişkilerindeki rolü ve diplomasi tarihi bakımından önemi sorgulanmakta ve Osmanlı diplomatik biliminin incelediği bir alan olarak ahidname formunun ortaya çıkışında bu ahidnamelerin yeri ve önemi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmada XVI. yüzyılın başına kadar Osmanlı-Macaristan ilişkilerinin siyasal gelişimi ahidnameler bağlamında incelenmekte ve ardından Osmanlı-Macaristan diplomatik ilişkilerine dair günümüze ulaşan iki Türkçe ahidname metninin Osmanlı-Macar ilişkileri içerisindeki yeri tahlil edilmektedir. Osmanlı-Macaristan ilişkilerine dair ilk Türkçe ahidname olarak II. Bayezid dönemine ait tarihsiz bir ahidname metni günümüze ulaşmıştır. Bu metin György Hazai tarafından 1965 yılında Macarca bir makalede neşredilmesine rağmen Türkiye’de herhangi bir şekilde değerlendirilmemiş ve daha sonraki çalışmalarda –çok az istisnası olmakla birlikte– kullanılmamıştır. Sözü geçen bu metin ne yazık ki orijinal bir metin değil bir surettir. Bu çerçevede bu ahidnamenin orijinalinin düzenlenip düzenlenmediğine dair kesin bir bilgimiz yoktur. Ancak Osmanlı-Macaristan ilişkileri içerisinde çok önemli bir yeri olan bu metin ikili ilişkilerin gelişimi ve kendisinden sonra düzenlenen Türkçe ahidnamelere örneklik teşkil etmesi bakımından büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bu özelliğine ve önemine binaen bu metnin transkripsiyonu tekrar neşredilmekte ve diplomatik ve tarihsel bakımdan incelenmektedir. Osmanlı-Macaristan diplomatik ilişkileri tarihi açısından günümüze ulaşmış olan en önemli belgelerden bir diğeri ise 1503 tarihli Macaristan ahidnamesidir. Tayyib Gökbilgin tarafından fotokopisi yayınlanarak kısa bir değerlendirmeye tâbi tutulan bu ahidname Türkçe tek orijinal Macar ahidnamesidir. 1503 tarihli ahidname bu açıdan oldukça önemli olmakla birlikte içeriği ile de Osmanlı ahidnameleri arasında ayrı bir yer tutmaktadır. Bir Osmanlı ahidnamesinin ortaya çıkış süreci ile ilgili içerdiği bilgiler son derece kıymetlidir. Ayrıca iki devlet arasında belirlenen sınırların tamamen kayda geçirildiği tek ahidname olan bu belgenin metni Latin harfleriyle ilk kez neşredilmekte ve diplomatik ve tarihsel açıdan incelenmektedir.
Word Equivalence: An Investigation of Fiction Translation from English to Kurdish Between 2003 and 2021
Authors: Aziz Mahmood Karzan , Saleem Ahmed Eman
Published: July 2022

The current study investigates word equivalence in selecting twenty works of fiction that have been translated from English into Kurdish by twenty different translators from 2003 to 2021. The year 2003 is historic for the Kurdistan region. The Kurdish language was marginalized under Saddam Hussein’s regime. Since 2003, the Kurds in Iraqi Kurdistan have established several institutions and associations ranging from Kurdish book publishing houses, printing houses, and research centres, including tens of independent writers and translators with their intellectual individual and group projects. These developments have ultimately progressed the Kurdish vernacular language. By employing Newmark’s (1988) paradigm of translation procedures, the paper shows how Kurdish translators translate words. Newmark introduced sixteen translation procedures ranging from transference, naturalization, cultural equivalent, functional equivalent couplet and notes. By examining and verifying used facts and examples derived from the selected texts, this research discovers that the process of translating from English to Kurdish faces the barrier of word-level non-equivalence. Therefore, the paper also identifies the techniques of through translation, transference and couplet as most commonly employed in the studied corpus, with functional and cultural equivalence strategies used less frequently in translation by Kurdish fiction translators. Thus, the research examines Kurdish word equivalence barriers and the significance of translation studies.
The “Unclaimed Experience”: Trauma and Crime Fiction
Authors: Husam Jaber Maysaa
Published: July 2022

This paper examines the intersections between trauma and literature and crime fiction, more specifically. By looking at the representations of trauma in crime fiction, it is argued here that trauma in crime novels involves a multilayered and complex discourse that generates its own narrative, one that relies on techniques like fragmentation, repetition, puzzle-solving, deliberate vagueness, and obscurity. It is also proposed that the use of trauma as a lens to examine crime narratives is both valuable and problematic, as it brings forth the conflict and the tension in the trauma discourse regarding words and wounds; expression and silence; representation and unspeakability. This paper will highlight that exploring the meeting points between trauma and crime narratives can also function as a as a point of departure from the conventional readings of crime fiction and contemplates a reading of the crime novel as trauma fiction. By so doing, this paper stresses the configurations of trauma in crime fiction beyond the medical framework and addresses the aspects and techniques in which trauma is centrally positioned in crime narratives.
THE ESTIMATION OF THE WAR IN DONBAS BY SCIENTISTS AND FORMER POLITICIANS ON THE PAGES OF THE NEWSPAPER THE NEW YORK TIMES (FEBRUARY 12, 2015 – APRIL 30, 2018)
Authors: Ofitsynskyy Yuriy
Published: July 2022

The views of scientists and former high-ranking politicians on the war in Donbass in the period between February 12, 2015 and April 30, 2018 are analyzed in the article. On that basis the best ways to end the war are shown. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time in historiography, the opinions of scientists and ex-politicians on the war in eastern Ukraine in the period between February 12, 2015 and April 30, 2018 were studied on the basis of the newspaper The New York Times. The following conclusions were made. Firstly, some analysts predicted that Russia would not try to seize Ukraine, but would fight in the Donbas to keep the country destabilized and prevent it from getting closer to the EU and NATO. Other experts predicted that Russia might not stop at Ukraine and use the Russians from the Baltic states to create frozen conflicts there. Secondly, the use of different terms to denote the war in Donbas and the enemies of Ukrainian troops was ambiguous. They were called mostly “insurgents”, less often “separatists”, and occasionally “militants” and “terrorists”. The war itself was most often referred to as “uprising” or “conflict”, less often as “invasion” and in isolated cases – “war”. Thirdly, after approving the first and second Minsk agreements, almost all experts immediately doubted their viability. In Minsk-2 agreement, Donbas was recognized as an integral part of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin periodically resorted to military escalation here, and instead of a political settlement he sought a frozen conflict so that Ukraine would abandon its strategic European and Euro-Atlantic course. Russia has done everything to make Ukraine look like an internally unstable, failed state in the eyes of the world, in order to take advantage of its weakness in the future. Fourthly, in the debate whether the West should provide weapons to Ukraine, two camps crystallized. Some advised the West to properly arm Ukraine, which would prevent Russian aggression against other states. Others believed that arming Ukraine would not deplete Russia. On the contrary, it could lead to the catastrophic defeat of Ukraine and the humiliation of the West. Fifthly, Western sanctions against Russia have prompted it to relinquish its claims to Donbas and warned against an aggressive course toward other countries. At the same time, the establishment of lasting peace in Ukraine, thus ending the war in Donbas, was associated exclusively with diplomatic efforts such as searching for and approval of a compromise option of autonomy or expanded local self-government.

Esta investigación tiene como propósito contribuir con datos novedosos al conocimiento del gitano en la historia de la lengua española. Para este fin, realizaremos un análisis que contemple los planos sintáctico, lexicográfico y documental de la voz gitano en perspectiva general y diacrónica. La información que consignaremos a lo largo de este trabajo parece indicar que el siglo xviii constituye un parteaguas social y jurídico en la historia de los gitanos españoles, cuya asimilación a finales de esta centuria propició la introducción masiva de gitanismos en nuestra lengua a partir de los primeros años del siglo xix, hecho simultáneo a la entrada masiva de indigenismos en las variedades del español en América.
De pinche de cocina a “te pinches amo”. Un reanálisis en cadena en la historia del español
Authors: Quepons Ramírez Cecilia
Published: July 2022

En la lengua española, el sustantivo pinche ha adquirido nuevos significados y nuevas distribuciones gracias a contextos específicos de uso que motivaron su doble refuncionalización. El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar el reanálisis en cadena de la voz pinche en la historia del español: una de sustantivo a adjetivo (El pinche de cocina > La pinche soledad) y otra de adjetivo a adverbio (Tus pinches mentiras > Te pinches amo). Explicaré el oscuro origen del sustantivo pinche con el fin de entender la motivación subyacente que facilitó el primer reanálisis. A la luz de los datos, haré una descripción de los contextos sintácticos y semántico-pragmáticos que favorecieron la refuncionalización de pinche; por último, ofreceré evidencia de una ruta de cambio poco estudiada en la historia de las lenguas: la de adjetivo > adverbio.

Published: July 2022

Herbal medicine is becoming a trend in curing several diseases especially degenerative because of the bad effects of synthetic drugs. Tembesu plant (Fagraea fragrans Roxb.) is traditionally used for degenerative diseases. This study aims to separate bioactive compounds (active fraction), pure isolate compounds from tembesu leaf, then observe antioxidant activity. The methods used are maceration extraction, liquid-liquid fractionation, purification of compounds by gravity chromatography column and antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH radicals. The results showed that the active antioxidant fractions were n-hexane and ethyl acetate fractions. The results of purification of antioxidant compounds, obtained 6 isolates N1, N2, N4, N5, E8 and E11. Antioxidant activity (IC50) of pure isolates N1 (13.72 ppm), N2 (28.93 ppm), N4 (110.44 ppm), N5 (177.23 ppm), E8 (82.50 ppm) and E11 (12 ,86 ppm). The antioxidant compounds that have been isolated are terpenes (N1, N2, N4, E8), phenols (N5) and flavonoids (E11). This study concluded that tembesu leaf have antioxidant potential. Antioxidant bioactive compounds in tembesu leaf have the potential to be developed into standardized herbs and phytopharmaceuticals.
Negative Sequence Compensation Method for High-Speed Railway With Integrated Photovoltaic Generation System
Authors:   Southwest Jiaotong University, Dai Xianfeng
Published: July 2022

The serious negative sequence (NS) issues and energy shortage problems are aroused by the single-phase 25-kV traction power supply system (TPSS) of high-speed railways. To achieve NS compensation and alleviation of energy demand, a TPSS with an integrated PV generation system is proposed. According to the structural characteristics of the TPSS and the PV system, a special topology and an NS compensation method are presented. Moreover, taking the NS control as the primary goal, three operation modes are classified by considering the load conditions of the TPSS and the output state of the PV system. After that, a coordinated control system with a central controller and multiple local controllers is proposed. The central controller can realize the flexible selection of operation modes and calculate the reference power. Meanwhile, the local controllers achieve the accurate tracking of the reference current and the stability of the DC link voltage by switching the control modes. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system and the NS compensation method are verified by simulations.

Authors:   School of Health Sciences, Indira Gandhi National Open University, New Delhi, India., Kuba Ruchika
Published: July 2022

Background: Foundry workers are the backbone of many industries. Workers are exposed to metal dust, metal fumes, various products of combustion, chemical products relating to resin compounds, and physical factors such as noise, vibration, and high temperature. In addition to these factors, the use of tobacco, especially smoking, may aggravate health hazards, mainly respiratory morbidities. Objective: To know the prevalence of tobacco use among workers in a foundry unit of North Karnataka. Method: It was a cross-sectional study conducted among 300 workers of a foundry unit in North Karnataka from July to September 2019. Every second worker from the attendance register was selected for the study. The questionnaire was adopted from Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). Data were collected by personal interview after informed consent. Data were analysed through descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. The study was approved by Institutional Ethics Committee.Results: The mean age of participants was 38.73 ± 10.13 years. The prevalence of tobacco use in any form was found to be 42.66%. The smokeless form was predominant. Tobacco use was significantly associated with years in present occupation and night shifts. Conclusion: The prevalence of tobacco use among workers of a foundry unit was high which calls for immediate focused interventions.

Chronic hyperglycemia caused by diabetes results in systemic damage to the body, and the kidney ends up being the target of tissue damage. The use of antioxidants such as alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) has been shown to improve clinical and biochemical parameters in diabetic patients as they help in the prevention of oxidative stress. The present study aimed to undertake a comparative evaluation of the renal morphology of normal and diabetes-induced Wistar rats supplemented with ALA. The experiment had 4 experimental groups (n=7): a control group and a diabetic group that were fed commercial food; an alpha-lipoic group and an alpha-lipoic diabetic group that received the ALA supplement. Diabetes was induced with a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxane monohydrate administered after fasting. After 60 days of the experiment, the kidneys were excised to study the histomorphometric and stereological parameters of the glomeruli and renal tubules and the immunohistochemical parameters with a podocyte count. In the evaluation, the ALA promoted improvement in all of the relevant parameters of the glomerular areas and attenuation of tubular lesions of diabetic animals (p<0.001). Supplementation with ALA also showed beneficial effects in diabetic animals, such as reducing hyperglycemia and the damage promoted by oxidative stress alongside promoting a protective effect on the renal parenchyma. The reduction of glomerular and tubular damage delayed the advance of diabetic nephropathy and its complications, preventing renal failure in diabetic groups.
Relative exponential sum-symmetry model and orthogonal decomposition of the sum-symmetry model for ordinal square contingency tables
Authors: Ando Shuji
Published: July 2022

This study proposes a new exponential sum-symmetry model for square contingency tables with same row and column ordinal classifications. In the existing exponential sum-symmetry (ESS) model, the probability that the sum of row and column levels is t, where the row level is less than the column level, is ∆
t−

2 times higher than the probability that the sum of row and column levels is t, where the row level is greater than the column level. On the other hand, in the proposed ESS model, the ratio of these two probabilities is ∆
t/

3. In other words, in the existing ESS model, the ratio of the two probabilities varies exponentially depending on the absolute gap between t and 2, while in the proposed ESS model, the ratio of the two probabilities varies exponentially depending on the relative gap between t and 3, although in both ESS models, the ratio of the two probabilities is ∆ when t is the minimum value (i.e., t = 3). Moreover, this study introduces a new decomposition theorem for the sum-symmetry model using the proposed ESS. The proposed decomposition theorem satisfies asymptotic equivalence for the test statistic.
Triclosan Influences on Reproductive Physiology of Climbing Perch in the Spawning Phase

Published: July 2022

The endocrine-disrupting effects of triclosan, an antimicrobial agent, and its involvement in reproductive responses mediated through different modes of activity in various fish species have been documented. The present study aims to explore whether triclosan at environmentally relevant and sublethal concentrations could influence the reproductive physiology of the fish Anabas testudineus in the spawning phase. Fish were exposed to triclosan at environmentally relevant (0.009 and 9 µg L−1) and sublethal (176.7 µg L−1) concentrations for 4, 7, 30 and 60 d during the spawning phase for evaluating the reproductive potential of the fish. Triclosan exposure caused a significant (P<0.05) reduction in the level of total protein in gonads and liver tissues while increasing blood plasma to meet the energy demand and overcome metabolic stress. Impairment in gonadal steroidogenesis was evidenced by the reduction in the activities of 3β- and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases associated with alteration in the levels of serum gonadotropins, sex steroid hormones and vitellogenin. Triclosan exposure caused a reduction in the rate of fecundity in females and declined sperm counts, motility and viability in males. Histological lesions in gonadal tissues further confirmed the reproductive toxicity of triclosan, which in turn could contribute to the reproductive failure of the fish.

The study on the reproductive biology of shortfin mako shark is carried out through the commercial catches from artisanal boats active on the Moroccan Central Atlantic coast and landed in Sidi Ifni Port, for the period between October 2017 and August 2019. A total of 1690 individuals were examined, including 846 females and 844 males. As a result, the overall sex ratio of shortfin mako sharks tends towards equilibrium. The monthly sex ratio in shortfin mako sharks shows that males are more abundant compared to females in winter. In autumn and spring, we encounter more females. For the remainder of the year, the sex ratio tends to be balanced, with a slight predominance of males. Three stages of the maturity scale were found. Juvenile males with a rate of 50% were most frequently encountered during the study, followed by subadults with a rate of 32% and adults with a rate of 18%. The size at first sexual maturity of the male shortfin mako shark was estimated to be between 180 cm and 200 cm in total length, corresponding to an estimated age of 6 years.
Towards Wider Framings: World-Systems Analysis and Folklore Studies
Authors: Jackson Jason Baird
Published: July 2022

This article* situates folklore studies in relation to the approach to social research known as world-systems analysis. In doing so, the work also serves as an evocation of world-systems analysis of potential usefulness for the practice of folklore research and for further thinking about the articulation of the field with others in the human or social sciences. Even if folklorists choose not to embrace a world-systems framework, it is valuable to position folklore studies within the matrix of social science disciplines that this perspective sees as important to the rise of the modern capitalist world-system. This positioning relates to interpretations of world history, but also to debates about the future status of the disciplines. While world-systems analysis is only one among several approaches to exploring the human experience in broad greater-than-local contexts, it offers a useful instance for a larger effort to work out more far-reaching modes of work in folkloristics.
Towards the Analysis of Tradition-based Projects of Locality: A Case Study from Rural Hungary
Authors: Eitler Ágnes
Published: July 2022

In this case study* I offer an insight into the activity of an association for local traditions in a Hungarian village. In addition, I provide some general analytical frames for the examination of such tradition-based locality projects. The field of the observation is Kóny, a village in north-west Hungary. Its peasant traditions – especially the famous male dance, Kóny verbunk – were re-contextualised from time to time in the 20th century. The latest, recent, wave of re-construction concentrates on the systematic (re-)valorisation of locality by highlighting its former peasant traditions and the vernacularisation of the concept of heritage. While the organising work means a new, shared everyday practice for the association’s members, performing the traditions in the public space offers the villagers an occasion to reinforce local identity and identify with the locality.
