Authors: Yanchenko S. V. , Malyshev A. V. , Sakhnov S. N.
Published: July 2021

Purpose: to develop approaches to differentiated substitution therapy in patients with dry eye (DE) of mild and moderate severity.

Patients and methods. We examined 86 DE patients (22–45 years old; 38 men, 48 women). Group-1 included 54 patients (54 eyes) with mild DE under conditions of combined lipid-mucose-deficiency, group-2 32 patients (32 eyes) with moderate DE against the background of combined lipid-aqua-mucose-deficiency. Conducted: DE symptoms registration (OSDI scale); Norn and Shirmer-1 tests; OCT meniscometry; assessment of the Bijsterveld xerosis index and ‘lid-vipers’ symptom identification; Norn’s compression test. To assessment the therapy effectiveness, patients in both groups were divided into subgroups. Patients of subgroup 1.1 (18 eyes) carried out ‘fat-water’ type emulsion instillations, subgroup 1.2 (18 eyes) — 0.15 % sodium hyaluronate instillation (Hylabak®), subgroup 1.3 (18 eyes) — 3.0 % trehalose (Thealoz®) — 1–2 drops, 4 times a day. All persons included in group-1 were additionally recommended to apply 5.0 % dexpanthenol gel at night. Patients of subgroup 2.1 (16 eyes) received 0.15 % sodium hyaluronate instillation (Hylabak®), patients of subgroup 2.2 (16 eyes) 0.15 % sodium hyaluronate (Hylabak®) and 3.0 % trehalose (Thealoz®) instillation — 4 times a day. All patients included in group-2 were additionally recommended to apply ointment with vitamin A at night. The main criterion for the therapy effectiveness was the tear film brake up time (TBUT, s) two months after the start treatment. Statistical processing included: calculation the mean and its standard deviation (M ± s); assessment of the significance of differences (Wilcoxon’s t-test, KruskalWallis test, Mann-Whitney U-test).

Results. In group-1 patients the following TBUT dynamics was recorded: in subgroup 1.1 — from 5.4 ± 0.5 to 6.2 ± 0.6 s (p < 0.05); in subgroup 1.2 — from 5.2 ± 0.4 to 6.6 ± 0.6 s (p < 0.05); in subgroup 1.3 — from 5.3 ± 0.5 to 7.1 ± 0.7 s (p < 0.05). The most pronounced TBUT increase was noted in subgroup 1.3 (trehalose instillation). In group-2, the increase in TBUT was: in subgroup 2.1 — from 3.5 ± 0.3 to 4.7 ± 0.3 s (p < 0.05); in subgroup 2.2 — from 3.4 ± 0.2 to 5.2 ± 0.4 s (p < 0.05). A significantly more pronounced TBUT increase was noted in subgroup 2.2 (sodium hyaluronate and trehalose instillation).

Conclusion. In our opinion, differentiated approaches to DE replacement therapy may be included: for mild DE in conditions of lipid-mucose-deficiency — instillation of bioprotector based on 3.0 % trehalose (Thealose®); in case of moderate DE against the background of lipid-aqua-mucose-deficiency — 0.15 % sodium hyaluronate (Hylabak®) instillation in combination with a bioprotector based on 3.0 % trehalose (Thealoz®).

Malnutrition is one of the most common disorders observed in patients who are being treated for various diseases. In cancer patients with a palliative profile, compared with patients without malignant neoplasms, anemia, lymphopenia, decreased glomerular filtration rate were significantly more often detected, and a tendency to lower albumin levels was revealed. There was a significant decrease in PNI, BMI, shoulder circumference, thickness of the skin‑fat fold of the scapula and shoulder, and a tendency to reduce lean body weight in patients with palliative malignancies. The logistic regression analysis revealed the relationship between the presence of a malignant tumor in palliative patients and the presence of trophic status disorders: PNI (β = –0.37, p = 0.021), weight (β = –0.41, p = 0.001), BMI (β = –0.36, p = 0.001), shoulder circumference (β =–0.65, p = 0.001), thickness of the scapular skin‑fat fold (β = –0.66, p = 0.001).
Movement as Medicine and Screendance as Survivance: Indigenous Reclamation and Innovation During Covid-19
Authors: Mattingly Kate , Blu Wakpa Tria
Published: July 2021

Indigenous screendance challenges US settler colonial constructions that drive political, environmental, and global injustices, which the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated. This article analyzes online workshops taught in 2020 by Rulan Tangen, Founder and Director of DANCING EARTH CREATIONS, as "movement as medicine" and "screendance as survivance." By connecting Tangen's workshops to Indigenous peoples' historical and ongoing uses of dance and the digital sphere for wellbeing and survival, we show how and why these practices provide powerful possibilities to counter settler colonial concepts of anthropocentrism, Cartesian dualism, patriarchy, and chronological time. Tangen's teaching offers ways for humans and more-than-humans—meaning land, cosmos, nonhuman animals, water, and plants—to (re)connect, drawing on the past to imagine the future and building human solidarity, which we theorize as "homecoming." Ultimately, we link our concept of "homecoming" to the Land Back movement because of the vital connections among Indigenous bodies, sovereignty, and survival.

Authors: Wentao Zhou , Wenjun Zhang , Shihua Geng , Yuntao Deng , Xianglong Liu
Published: July 2021

In this study, the surface subsidence caused by underground mining is monitored by the technique of SBAS-InSAR. The second west mining area of Longshou mine, Jinchang Jinchuan Cu-Ni sulfide mine, Gansu province, is selected as the research area for the experiment. The 29 scene elevation rail Sentinel-1A image data from 2019.03-2020.3 are analyzed for the sequence analysis of the SBAS-InSAR. The vertical subsidence rate and cumulative subsidence results of the surface sequence of the mining area are obtained. According to the study, the minimum error of cumulative sedimentation between SBAS-InSAR and D-InSAR is 0.1mm, the maximum error is 21.37mm, and the median error is ±6.65mm. The minimum error of cumulative settlement between SBAS-InSAR and levelling is 0.66mm, the maximum is 23.74mm, and the median error is ±10.79mm. The results show that the application of the SBAS-InSAR technique in the monitoring of surface subsidence in the mining area is reliable, which provides an important basis for the subsequent safe mining in the mining area.
A comparative study on the rheological properties of coal water slurries using sodium tripoly-phosphate and carboxy-methyl-cellulose as dispersants
Authors: Ananda Rao M. , Pavan Kumar M. V. , Srinu Lenka
Published: July 2021

The effects of two anionic dispersants (polymeric-carboxy methyl cellulose: CMC and inorganic-sodium tripolyphosphate: STPP) on the rheological properties of coal water slurries (CWS) of varying solid loading were reported and compared. The rheological data was obtained in the shear rate range of 60-160 s-1 and the data was fitted using power law model. For lower solid concentrations (10% and 20%), shear thickening behaviour was observed while shear thinning nature was seen for the higher solid loadings (30%,40% and 50%) for CWS with both the dispersants. For all slurries, an increase in flow behaviour index values was seen with the increase of dispersant loading. For CWS of 10% and 20% solid loadings, lower values of flow behaviour index was observed with CMC as dispersant. On the other hand, lower values for flow behaviour index was seen with STPP as dispersant for CWS of 30%, 40% and 50% solids loading. Although CMC was found very effective in reducing the apparent viscosity at lower dosages unlike STPP, the apparent viscosity values are quite sensitive to the loading of CMC as dispersant in comparison to STPP. This observed trend may be due to aggressively induced negative charges upon the adsorption of CMC on coal particles at the tested dispersant dosages.

Desafios da in-visibilidade: representações sociais de ciganos em jornais brasileiros e portugueses
Authors: Alves Brasil Julia , Bonomo Mariana
Published: July 2021

Tendo em vista o papel dos diversos tipos de mídia na (re)produção de significados acerca de diferentes objetos sociais, este estudo teve, como objetivo, analisar as representações sociais de ciganos em notícias veiculadas por jornais brasileiros e portugueses. No total, foram analisadas 520 reportagens a partir da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD), e, dessas, 254 que abordavam diretamente os ciganos foram consideradas para a análise de conteúdo. Na CHD, foram identificadas as seguintes classes lexicais: no Brasil, modos de vida errantes, violações de direitos humanos, personagens secundários no cinema e na literatura, estilos musicais, e produção de cervejas; e em Portugal, violações de direitos humanos, vítimas e agressores, programas educacionais, e ofensas em contextos esportivos e políticos. Na análise de conteúdo, temáticas como estratégias de integração, autores de crimes, discriminação étnica, história e costumes, resistência e luta por direitos, e violações de direitos humanos foram encontradas nas reportagens dos jornais dos dois países. Os resultados permitiram analisar o processo de sociogênese das representações sociais, bem como discutir a dinâmica de exclusão/inclusão no contexto social contemporâneo. Portanto, ao evidenciar processos de visibilidade/invisibilidade aos quais os ciganos estão submetidos, o presente estudo auxilia na desnaturalização de construções sociais que dificultam a promoção de direitos fundamentais de grupos minoritários.

Legal reasonings of religious court judges in deciding the origin of children: a study on the protection of biological children’s civil rights
Authors: Rohmawati Rohmawati , Rofiq Ahmad
Published: July 2021

This study explores the extent to which religious court judges decided the origin of biological children following the implementation of the Indonesian Constitutional Court Decree number 46/PUU-VIII/2010. A substantial ambiguity was apparent in the Indonesian family law concerning civil relationships between children born out of wedlock and their biological fathers. Consequently, judges had different legal interpretations over status of children, which created disparities of the children’s civil right protection. This study focuses on investigating the judges’ legal reasonings when deciding origin of biological children born out of wedlock. This is a case study with a legal philosophical approach. Data collection includes document collection, whereas data analysis involves deductive and inductive approaches. This study found three typologies of judges’ legal reasonings in relation to how they decided the origin of the biological children. Pragmatic judges would not provide legal protection to the biological children as they failed to accept lineage of these children towards their parents, creating uncertainty over the children’s legal status. Conservative judges with a positivistic mindset would acknowledge legal relationship between the biological children and their mothers, generating the children’s civil rights in relation to their mothers. Progressive judges would provide legal protection to the biological children. Progressive judges accepted the lineage of these children towards their parents but acknowledged their civil rights in relation to their fathers in limited ways such as living allowance and testament. Disparities of judges’ decisions regarding the origin of the biological children substantially created a legal uncertainty to these children.
The decision on joint properties in Bengkulu High Religious Court Jurisdiction
Authors: Jayusman Jayusman
Published: July 2021

Joint property disputes after divorce at the Religious Courts (PA) under the Bengkulu High Religious Court (PTA) jurisdiction are always equally settled by giving half for each ex-spouse, regardless of the domination in working to earn the properties. The decisions refer to the article 97 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The decisions do not fulfill sense of justice regarding the ex-wife participating in earning the living. This library research would like to descriptively analyze the progressive law reviews of the decision related to joint properties with working wives set at some Religious Courts under the Bengkulu High Religious Court jurisdiction in 2016-2019 periods, in the context of reforming the Marriage Law in Indonesia. In drawing conclusions, the data are analyzed by applying progressive law theory. The study shows that Religious Courts’ decisions are not regulated in traditional Islamic law, but they are found in contemporary Islamic law by analogizing them as Shirkah with the division based on the agreement between the parties. In positive law perspective, the joint property division has been determined with each equally get half. In the meantime, from the progressive law perspective in the context of reforming the Indonesian Marriage Law, ex-wives participating in earning living should get a larger portion of joint properties than their ex-husbands, to fulfill the sense of justice. Their portions are decided amicably on the agreements of the parties

Published: July 2021

Deformities of burn scars in the chin and upper neck are a tragedy for patients and pose a great challenge to plastic surgeons due to limited available methods for the reconstruction of three-dimensional appearance. In this paper, we present a new technique for the correction of cervicomental angle with a dermal fat flap. Fourteen patients ages 18 to 24-year-old with extensive neck deformities were enrolled in the study. During the operation, first, we deepithelialized a triangular scar area in the upper neck, then created a dermal fat flap and flip it up to the chin, restoring the chin shape and volume, after that for subsequent reconstruction of cervicomental angle, after releasing skin from lateral sides of the triangle defect, we approximated the AB and AC line to the upper edge of the defect by V-Y advancement. The remaining defect is covered with a full-thickness skin graft. In all cases, the chins were reshaped with a dermal fat flap. The mean cervicomental angle was 144+14.6° preoperatively, which was reduced to 108.9+6.15° postoperatively. The neck and chin were preserved with better contours. This is a new technique that has never been described before in the literature, and it is innovative compared to the traditional techniques. Good cosmetic outcomes make this technique preferable for all burn neck deformities with an obtunded cervicomental angle.

Authors: Kaithari Dinesh keloth
Published: July 2021

Most of industries in our area are still using old techniques to measure the quality of their products. These old ways of measuring the quality are not applicable for every product and the checking is only by random samples. This method may affect the company if more products are out of production tolerance. So, this project is to design and fabricate weight sensing system that can be used in a production line in which the system can accept a specific weight to go in production line and reject others. The idea of this project comes after seeing the effects of going out of weight tolerance for some products that require quality. So, this report will screen the previous works and technologies which are related to the topic in literature review chapter to get benefits from them and avoid mistakes. No specific literature was identified with complete design of automatic weight sensing system. Personal interaction with the Reem batteries and power appliances results in the generation of the idea for designing and developing light weight sensing system. This project has faced some challenges which are: To identify a sensor that is having more sensitivity for the light weight and the method to amplify its low signal. These challenges have been solved by searching from different sources to get the best weight sensor and the suitable amplifier.

Authors: Sharad Nagdeve Shruti , Manchanda Shweta , Dewan Anil
Published: July 2021

Purpose of the study: Due to high solar radiation and extreme heat gain in composite climates, the envelope or the façade of the building becomes an essential part to modulate the heat transfer and temperature in the indoor environment. A passive sustainable approach to tackle heat gain is by adopting green living facades as the exterior skin. The objective of this research is to identify the potential of green living walls in modulating temperature and relative humidity in the composite climate of India.

Methodology: This research is based on data collection in the form of a Case Study. The paper evaluates the difference of variation in temperature and relative humidity of two façade samples of the same building, one with a “green living facade” and one without it.

Main Findings: The research aimed to justify that a green living facade may act as a passive strategy for composite climates. The result demonstrated that there is a significant temperature reduction between the ambient air temperature and indoor room temperature. The result also showed a notable change between ambient air temperature and the gap between the green living façade and the surface of the wall.

Implications: Significant drop in indoor ambient temperature in composite climate may save energy for cooling or heating demands.

Application of this study: This is a pilot study in order to carry out the main study for a similar application in order to categorize this as a passive sustainable façade strategy.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The study is one of its kind attempt to investigate the impact of vertical green walls on thermal comfort in the composite climate of India.

La obra que es objeto de recensión, cuyo autor es Alessio Rauti (Profesor de Derecho Constitucional en la Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria, Italia), pone el foco de atención en el instituto de la ciudadanía estatal formal en el plano dogmático operando, en cambio, una reconsideración de los actuales criterios de adquisición del status civitatis en el ordenamiento nacional para llegar a la construcción de un concepto sustancial de ciudadano en el marco de la estructura democrática del Estado italiano.

Authors: Al Hasani Maturano Amir
Published: July 2021

El libro que comentamos es un sugerente trabajo donde se analizan, desde una tutela multinivel, los medios de garantía del derecho a la integridad personal del detenido y recluso. En este, se incorporan los derechos básicos del recluso, relacionados con la noción de dignidad constitucional. Junto a ello, se abordan determinados límites de actuación del Estado y de la Administración –énfasis en la penitenciaria–, ante la protección del derecho fundamental a la vida, a la integridad física y a no sufrir tortura y tratos inhumanos y degradantes. En suma, relaciona de algún modo el Derecho Constitucional con el Derecho Penitenciario, resultando práctico a los operadores jurídicos.

L2 Learners’ Perceptions of Their Writing Strategies on an Intensive EAP Course
Authors: Mazgutova Diana , Hanks Judith
Published: July 2021

This study examines second language (L2) learners’ perceptions of their writing strategies on an intensive English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme at a British university. The participants were 14 Chinese pre-undergraduate students who engaged in interviews and completed reflective journal entries. The results of the analyses indicate that after four weeks of studying on the EAP course, students believed that they started to apply a broader range of writing strategies, such as reading extensively, using exemplars of student writing to inform their own assignments, revising in a more focused manner and appreciating tutor feedback on their writing. Thus, the perceived increase in the use of various writing strategies is indicative of the potential effectiveness of a short EAP pre-sessional course.
Zaufanie w relacjach business-to-business. Perspektywa dynamiczna
Authors: Zieliński Marek
Published: July 2021

Książka ma charakter teoretyczno-empiryczny i trzy główne cele. Pierwszy z nich to wyjaśnienie i systematyzacja pojęć związanych z zaufaniem w relacjach business-to-business (B2B). W warstwie metodycznej celem było rozwinięcie metody pomiaru zaufania w ujęciu dynamicznym oraz konceptualizacja i operacjonalizacja kluczowych pojęć. Jako trzeci (poznawczy) cel wybrano określenie charakteru zmian zaufania z uwzględnieniem perspektywy nabywcy i dostawcy oraz identyfikację wpływu dynamiki zaufania na funkcjonowanie relacji business-to-business i osiąganych efektów. Część teoretyczna powstała na podstawie krytycznego, pogłębionego i interdyscyplinarnego przeglądu literatury. Większość materiału źródłowego stanowiły artykuły publikowane w anglojęzycznych czasopismach naukowych. Na potrzeby monografii zaprojektowano i przeprowadzono badania z wykorzystaniem zróżnicowanych metod badawczych: eseju, indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych oraz kontekstowo osadzonych w środowisku projektowym badań ankietowych (CATI). Oryginalny wkład monografii do badań nad zaufaniem można szczególnie odnieść do pogłębionego rozpoznania zmienności zaufania w czasie w relacjach B2B, zwłaszcza w kontekście relacji budowanych wokół projektów, jako obszaru zarządzania. Dowiedziono, że w badaniach nad zaufaniem istotne jest uwzględnienie czasu i etapu cyklu życia relacji. Ważne teoretycznie, a także praktycznie jest dowiedzenie poprzez badania empiryczne wpływu zmienności zaufania na efekty ekonomiczne i pozaekonomiczne relacji biznesowych, a jednocześnie powiązanie zmienności zaufania z innymi mechanizmami budującymi relacje B2B. Ujęcie zaufania w monografii wpisuje się w nurt relacyjnego badania zaufania jako jednego ze zjawisk pozostających w zainteresowaniu nauk społecznych.

This article presents the initial results achieved in project SEU, which comprises the study of the design and implementation of digital interfaces adapted to the specific needs of each user, as well as the study of a business model that allows service providers to offer services for an audience with special characteristics. Starting from the survey of the needs of people with disabilities and the study of digital accessibility standards, two models were proposed: an Adaptation Model for designing interfaces according to the characteristics of each type of user; and a Services Model, which extends the base model of platforms facilitating offline services. These two models were instantiated in the initial web prototype presented.Keywords: Web services platform. Digital accessibility. Multimodal user-interfaces. Inclusion. People with disabilities.
Kompozycja konsolidacji fiskalnej – skutki dla wzrostu gospodarczego
Authors: Kalinowska Katarzyna
Published: July 2021

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników najnowszych badań A. F. Alesina i S. Ardagna nad wpływem polityki fiskalnej na wzrost gospodarczy i konsolidację finansów publicznych. Rezultaty wspomnianych analiz empirycznych próbowano skonfrontować z założeniami programu antykryzysowego opracowanego przez irlandzki rząd. Konsolidacja irlandzkich finansów publicznych w 2/3 opiera się na stronie wydatkowej i w 1/3 wiąże się ze wzrostem dochodów. Takie działania wpływają na wzrost konkurencyjności irlandzkiej produkcji, dając wymierne skutki w postaci wzrostu eksportu netto i powrotu tej gospodarki na ścieżkę dodatniej dynamiki PKB.

Authors:   Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, Department of Environmental Sciences Northern Cyprus TR-10 Mersin, Turkey, Gondal Aqarab Husnain
Published: July 2021

Tillage is the physical manipulation of soil to improve physical soil conditions. In Pakistan, various tillage technologies such as primary and secondary tillage affect plant growth, incorporate organic matter residues into the soil, eradicate weeds, and prepare the bed for seed germination preventing soil erosion and preparing the ground for irrigation. Furthermore, tillage practices change soil water holding capacity, temperature, aeration, and the mixing of crop residues within the soil matrix. Today's real agricultural problems are resource depletion with declining production, decreased human resources, and rising prices and societal shifts due to different anthropogenic activities (tillage). These changes in the physical environment and the food supply of the organisms affect different groups of organisms in different ways. In addition, they are also affecting the environment health. Therefore, its management, including conservation tillage and other includes cover crop, organic residues, and direct sowing of rice seedling is necessary to mitigate the problems. The present review discusses the tillage systems effects on soil, plants, environment and their possible solutions.

Published: July 2021

Climate change has emerged as a major man-made global environmental problem, characterized by an increase in the earth's air temperature as a result of large-scale emissions of greenhouse gases. Agriculture and climate change are intrinsically linked in different ways, since biotic and abiotic stresses are primarily caused by climate change, all these factors have a detrimental effect on a region's agriculture. Agriculture is affected by climate change in various ways, e.g., heat stress at the reproductive stage, shortening of growing season length, pests or microbes, modification in weeds, and increase in CO2 level. The challenge of changing global climate has driven the scientists' interest, As a result of these changes, global crop production is suffering and global food security is in danger. The current study sheds light on the impacts of climate change on agriculture, as well as the consequences for food security.

Published: July 2021

This study aims to describe the moderate educational views of the Pondok Pesantren Wali Songo community in Ngabar Ponorogo and their efforts to prevent radical ideology. This is a qualitative research and the subject is the main source of data. The informants are the Kyai (the leader) and the Asâtîdh (the teachers) Council in the Pesantren. The results reveals that the Pesantren Wali Songo designed a curriculum that provided a comprehensive understanding of Islamic teachings. For example, the material of fiqh is embedded with uṣûl al-fiqh. In uṣûl al-fiqh, there are rules of istinbâṭ al-ḥukm besides the Quran and hadith such as ijmâ‘, qiyâs, ‘urf, maṣlaḥah al-mursalah, and maqâsid al-sharî‘ah so that fiqh is flexible. In addition, the Pesantren recruited a board of teachers who had moderate understanding and background in kâffah Islamic ideology. Santri (the students) are protected from information access and certain association  which lead to radicalism. In developing moderate Islam, the curriculum there require them to study books that explain the understanding of Islam Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamâ‘ah.
