The functioning of a noun in German language (case category)
Authors: Ershova Natalia B.
Published: April 2021

The purpose of the research is to study the variety of functions performed by a noun in the modern German language. We consider the noun grammatical categories, determine the place of the case grammatical category among the noun grammatical categories on the material of mod-ern German language. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that, when studying the case category, the genitive case is singled out from the case system, on the one hand, as disappearing, on the oth-er, as a marker of the syntactic functions of a noun. We define the role of the article, to which many foreign and domestic linguists attribute an auxiliary function along with a noun, calling it the accompanying noun. As a result of the study, we identify the features of a noun functioning in German language, determine the cases functions, and indicate the reasons for the displacement of the genitive case from the case system of the German language and the defining role of the article in the formation of a sentence meaning.
On the artistic singularity of the play by A.N. Ostrovsky “The Snow Maiden” in the context of the mythopoetic worldview
Authors: Smirnov Kirill V.
Published: April 2021

The work is devoted to the character and contextual levels analysis of A.N. Ostrovsky’s play “The Snow Maiden”. The Berendey country as the embodiment of the pagan world is not only a place for the major events development, but it also symbolizes a special era in Russian history: the contact of two mutually exclusive principles – monotheism and polytheism. Evidences of these principles are the gospel parallels presented by A.N. Ostrovsky through a love sense, which the in-habitants of the Berendey country interpret in a pagan, but not in the Orthodox aspect. Using syn-thesis and analogy, which are the leading research methods of this work, it is possible to prove the contextual closeness of Snow Maiden and Mizgir, characters, originally isolated from the society of the Berendey country, and also to identify the specifics of application of the grotesque, the main literary device used by A.N. Ostrovsky. It is proved that A.N. Ostrovsky’s play is close to V. Hugo’s novel “Notre Dame de Paris” as a work where the grotesque seriously determines the author’s intention. The idea of the play is also analyzed in the format of continuity, as evidenced by the parallelism between “The Snow Maiden” and “Thunderstorm” – in these works the characters sometimes have similar formulations, that is why typification concept analysis is seems acceptable, which allows to analyze the characters in the context of the theory of K.G. Jung’s archetypes. Therefore, the considered task of this work is searching for bringing together contextual beginnings and analysis of the play’s chronotope – system-forming aspects that allow us to characterize the work not only as an extravaganza, but also as a text that occupies a special place in the playwright’s creative heritage. This research will be of great interest to everyone who studies the work of A.N. Ostrovsky in the format of literary studies, as well to researchers of pagan and orthodox motives in Russian literature of the 19th century.
Autoritarismo instrumental ou índole nacional?
Authors: Losso Tiago
Published: April 2021

O conceito de autoritarismo instrumental, formulado por Wanderley Guilherme dos Santos, tem como finalidade designar as posturas autoritárias características de alguns pensadores brasileiros nas décadas de 1920, 30 e 40. Este tipo de autoritarismo, segundo Santos, teria como principal característica a transitoriedade. Teria sido o meio encontrado por alguns atores para construir uma sociedade democrática através de métodos não democráticos. O trabalho aqui proposto irá questionar a argumentação que sustenta o conceito de Autoritarismo Instrumental. Para obter tal resultado, será efetivada uma análise da obra de Oliveira Vianna.

Background: As of December 2018, BPJS Kesehatan has received application from 4,909 people to be registered as non-contribution assistance beneficiary (PBPU) through Gandrung JKN. Number of people to be registered to BPJS as non-contribution assistance beneficiary (PBPU) tends to fluctuate every month and tends to be stagnant in several districts, including in Licin Subdistrict. Most of people in Licin Subdistrict also not familiar with Gandrung JKN program. Objective: This student-community partnership is carried out to minimize the gap in community knowledge about what JKN is and the procedure to be registered in JKN scheme.  Method: The role of students in the effort to introduce and register the community in JKN was designed by bringing the community closer to the Banyuwangi Gandrung Program. This community service consists of three stages, including activities in provisioning the students and health cadres about JKN and Gandrung JKN, direct socialization by students in the Licin subdistrict community, and efforts to provide closer access of community to BPJS Kesehatan.  Results: The debriefing in the first stage was given directly by the Banyuwangi Branch BPJS Kesehatan to increase students' knowledge of JKN. Students then successfully carried out direct socialization to the Licin subdistrict community. Three villages were successfully accompanied and performed a high level of participation in the socialization session. Community service has also succeeded in bringing people closer to BPJS Kesehatan. Conclusion: The information conveyed in this activity was well received by the community because it was tailor-made according to the information needed by each family. Student assistance sharpens students' ability to communicate and understand JKN. Although the assistance succeeded in increasing the community's knowledge, in the short term it did not significantly increase the desire to register to become a JKN participant.

Mineral and Natural Resources as Global Competitiveness Factor
Authors: Kondrat’ev V.
Published: April 2021

The availability of raw material resources is an important factor of global competitiveness. In fact, this point may not be applied to all countries. Moreover, according to research, in many developing countries the natural resources endowment is inversely related to the pace of economic growth and living standards, and positively related to income inequality. Such negative connection between the natural resources endowment and economic growth is named the “resource damnation” . The development analysis of countries rich in mineral resources demonstrates that the economic policy pattern plays a key role in prevention of the “Dutch disease”, achievement of sustainable economic growth and improving competitiveness of national economy.

Health service - a part of the tourism product
Authors: Meler Marcel , Ružić Drago , Kovačević Dragan
Published: April 2021

The history and evolution of tourism show that the beginnings of tourism, as well as its later development are based on the development of those destinations that had markedly attractive factors of curative character. Health tourism can therefore be defined as a joint working area of health service and tourism where these two, on the partnership basis and with a mutual interest, organize the stay of individuals as tourists who come to places with marked natural and curative factors which they use and w'here they under medical control (or without it) receive health services through active vacation and through various other forms of treatment. The satisfaction of the need for health services, as well as for other partial tourist products that aim at satisfying the need for health services, also demands an adjustment of the business operations of the subjects offering tourist products, especially in hotel industry. Having in mind the fact that tourist movements, to a greater or lesser extent, also represent “movements for health purposes”, it is extremely important that hoteliers fully recognize the specific characteristics (e g., age structure, health condition and habits, etc.) of those segments of guests to which they direct their services and products.

Forest Fire Recognition Based on GNN With Dynamic Feature Similarity of Multi-View Images
Authors: Zhang Lin , Wang Mingyang , Ding Yunhong
Published: April 2021

Forest fire identification is important for forest resource protection. Effective monitoring of forest fires requires the deployment of multiple monitors with different viewpoints, while most traditional recognition models can only effectively recognize images from a single source, often because they ignore the correlation information between images from different viewpoints, resulting in inaccurate visual similarity estimation for multiple source samples and generating the problems of missed and high false alarm rates. In order to solve the problems, a similarity-guided graph neural network model based on the dynamic characteristics of images is proposed in this paper. The method converts the input features of the nodes on the graph into relational features of different gallery pairs by establishing pairs (nodes) that represent different viewpoint images and gallery images. The dynamic feature update of the image gallery using the new feature-bank relationship enables the estimation of the similarity between images and improves the image recognition rate of the model. Besides, to reduce the complicated pre-processing process and extract the key features in the images effectively, this paper also proposes a dynamic feature extraction method for fire regions based on image segment ability. By setting the threshold value of HSV color space, the fire region is segmented from the image and the fire region frames are calculated for dynamic feature extraction. The experimental results on the open-source forest fire dataset and our collected forest fire dataset show that the performance of the method in this paper is improved by 4% compared with Resnet, the theme during this paper may be tailored to totally different fire eventualities and has sensible generalization and interference resistance.

Digital image phenotyping has become popular in plant research. Plants are complex in shape, and occlusion can often occur. Three-dimensional (3D) data are expected to measure the morphological traits of plants with higher accuracy. Plants have organs with flat and/or narrow shapes and similar component structures are repeated. Therefore, it is difficult to construct an accurate 3D model by applying methods developed for industrial materials and architecture. Here, we review noncontact and all-around 3D modeling and configuration of camera systems to measure the morphological traits of plants in terms of system composition, accuracy, cost, and usability. Typical noncontact 3D measurement methods can be roughly classified into active and passive methods. We describe their advantages and disadvantages. Structure-from-motion/multi-view stereo (SfM/MVS), a passive method, is the most frequently used measurement method for plants. It is described in terms of “forward intersection” and “backward resection.” We recently developed a novel SfM/MVS approach by mixing the forward and backward methods, and we provide a brief overview of our approach in this paper. While various fields are adopting 3D model construction, nonexpert users struggle to use them and end up selecting inadequate methods, which lead to model failure. We hope that this review will help users who are considering starting to construct and measure 3D models.
Study on Real-Time Point Cloud Superimposition on Camera Image to Assist Environmental Three-Dimensional Laser Scanning

Recently, three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology using terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) has been widely used in the fields of plant manufacturing, civil engineering and construction, and surveying. It is desirable for the operator to be able to immediately and intuitively confirm the scanned point cloud to reduce unscanned regions and acquire scanned point clouds of high quality. Therefore, in this study, we developed a method to superimpose the point cloud on the actual environment to assist environmental 3D laser measurements, allowing the operator to check the scanned point cloud or unscanned regions in real time using the camera image. The method included extracting the correspondences of the camera image and the image generated by point clouds by considering unscanned regions, estimating the camera position and attitude in the point cloud by sampling correspondence points, and superimposing the scanned point cloud and unscanned regions on the camera image. When the proposed method was applied to two types of environments, that is, a boiler room and university office, the estimated camera image had a mean position error of approximately 150 mm and mean attitude error of approximately 1°, while the scanned point cloud and unscanned regions were superimposed on the camera image on a tablet PC at a rate of approximately 1 fps.
Pre-service teachers’ beliefs about English Language Teaching and Learning in EFL classroom: A review of literature
Authors: Pusparini Ririn , Widiati Utami , Susanti Arik
Published: April 2021

Pre-service teachers’ (PST) beliefs and practices have been agreed as an initially vital basis to continue maintaining a qualified learning process. This article reviews the research on PSTs’ beliefs and practices concerning teaching and learning English as a foreign language (EFL) and the exploration of the complex relationship between EFL PSTs’ beliefs and practices. It encompasses a discussion about the nature of teachers’ beliefs, an overview of PSTs’ belief formation, and some previous studies on PSTs’ beliefs. The review of related literature summarizes the empirical studies on PSTs’ beliefs and practices from 2011 up to 2020, which reveal the diversity and similarity of the studies on EFL PSTs’ beliefs. The result obtained in this study depicts that PSTs’ beliefs about EFL teaching and learning are affected by prior language learning experiences, teacher education, and teaching practices. Besides, some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs change covering time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence. Finally, when their tacit beliefs turn into explicit beliefs, PSTs can identify and assess their beliefs attributed to their classroom practices, from which EFL PST education can be informed to design better courses and prepare PSTs’ future careers.

HIGHLIGHTS:

EFL PSTs’ beliefs are acquired from many years of learning experiences they got from schools to teacher education, of which the condition has influenced what and how they learn to teach.

Their beliefs, then, influence what they say and do in the classroom, which, in turn, shapes their beliefs.

Some constraints in the classroom setting can trigger the beliefs changed: time restriction, curriculum emphasis, students’ misbehavior, students’ competence, students’ motivation, or even PSTs’ motivation and confidence.

Research has shown that the initial few years of children’s lives are the best times for language to develop at a rapid pace, the first language (L1) or a foreign language (FL) may be acquired these times. Researches on preschoolers FL acquisition with home-based intervention (HBI) have not been studied extensively under the L1 environment. This study aims to examine the results of HBI on the development of the acquisition of Indonesian preschoolers’ English as a Foreign Language (EFL) sentences. This research is a case study with naturalistic observation design, where data were obtained from logbooks and interview. The research subjects were 2 preschoolers about 36 months. The study’s duration was 24 months from the 13th until the 36th month with HBI, namely parents-based and authentic/semi authentic-media intervention. The data were the children’s English sentences taken at 24th to 36th months at their own homes. The Owens’ acquisition of sentence forms measured the English sentences’ development of in the respondents’ conversation and self-narration. This research found that at about 36th month, these Indonesian preschoolers were able to communicate in English in various sentences such as declarative, negative, interrogative, imperative, embedded and conjoining.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Simultaneous foreign language learning and first language acquisition for children is tangible advantage.

Authentic input and active interaction act as the language environment substitute in foreign language learning.

Intensive learning makes preschoolers speak a foreign language earlier.
The Effect of Sunglint Correction for Estimating Water Depth Using Rationing, Thresholding, and Mean Value Algorithms

Published: April 2021

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is an alternative for obtaining shallow water depth data. The existence of images with various resolutions, the availability of a complete image band can develop the extraction results. This method is based on the principle of the satellite's visible band to estimate water depth. The mapping of shallow water depth is dependent on water conditions, both its brightness and surface. When the sensor senses a water object, the reflected reflection comes from the surface, and some sensors cannot penetrate the water object. The sun's position and the sensor's point of view when sensing it results in interference from the water surface (Sunglint). The sunglint effect on the image can be reduced by performing RGB band correction with NIR Infrared. This study aims to demonstrate the effect of Sunglint's correction on three SDB approaches, namely Thresholding, Rationing, and Mean Value on Worldview 3 imagery in Karimunjawa Islands, Central Java. This study's results indicate that the Sunglint correction on Worldview 3 imagery affects the depth extraction results. The best results are shown by Sunglint's correction using the Thresholding approach (B2-B7), which produces the best correlation with R2 of 0.7364 and (B7-B2) with R2 = 0.7351. Contrastingly, the lowest correlation was generated using the Mean Value ((B2 + B7) / 2) approach without Sunglint's correction with R2 = 0.4015. So this research proves that the Worldview 3 image with Sunglint correction can provide bathymetry data, especially in shallow waters.
Empirical Correlations for Prediction Slug Liquid Holdup on Slug-Pseudo-Slug and Slug-Churn Transitions in Vertical and Inclined Two-Phase Flow

Most of the existing slug (SL) to churn (CH) or SL to pseudo-slug (PS) transition models (empirical and mechanistic) account for the effect of the SL liquid holdup (HLS). For simplicity, some of these models assume a constant value of HLS in SL/CH and SL/PS flow transitions, leading to a straightforward solution. Other models correlate HLS with different flow variables, resulting in an iterative solution for predicting these transitions. Using an experimental database collected from the open literature, two empirical correlations for prediction HLS at the SL/PS and SL/CH transitions (HLST) are proposed in this study. This database is composed of 1,029 data points collected in vertical, inclined, and horizontal configurations. The first correlation is developed for medium to high liquid viscosity two-phase flow (μL > 0.01 Pa·s), whereas the second one is developed for low liquid viscosity flow (μL ≤ 0.01 Pa·s). Both correlations are shown to be a function of superficial liquid velocity (VSL), liquid viscosity (μL), and pipe inclination angle (θ). The proposed correlations in a combination with the HLS model of Abdul-Majeed and Al-Mashat (2019) have been used to predict SL/PS and SL/CH transitions, and very satisfactory results were obtained. Furthermore, the SL/CH model of Brauner and Barnea (1986) is modified by using the proposed HLST correlations, instead of using a constant value. The modification results in a significant improvement in the prediction of SL/CH and SL/PS transitions and fixes the incorrect decrease of superficial gas velocity (VSG) with increasing VSL. The modified model follows the expected increase of VSG for high VSL, shown by the published observations. The proposed combinations are compared with the existing transition models and show superior performance among all models when tested against 357 measured data from independent studies.

Sine oculis homeoprotein 1 (SIX1) was discovered to exert an essential role in embryonic development and it was also identified to be re-activated in various types of mammalian cancer. Immunohistochemical and SIX1 gene expression analyses were performed to determine the prognostic role of SIX1 expression. SIX1 expression was suppressed by short hairpin RNA transduction in the SNU398 HCC cell line. The effects of SIX1 on proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, drug resistance, and sphere formation were assessed in SIX1 knock-down cells. The upregulated expression levels of SIX1 were revealed to be correlated with the stage of the disease in breast, colon and liver cancer, with liver cancer exhibiting the highest expression profile. SIX1 knockdown significantly affected the cell morphology, proliferation, downregulated the protein expression levels of ZEB1, ZEB2 and SNAI1 and upregulated the expression levels of TWIST1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Furthermore, SIX1 knockdown cells were more sensitive to sorafenib treatment; however, the expression profile analysis of the drug resistance genes ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 did not explain this sensitivity. Finally, SIX1 knockdown cells were identified to have decreased CD90 levels and lost their sphere-forming ability, which is essential for cancer stem cell properties. Overall, these results indicated that SIX1 expression may be useful as a diagnostic marker for patients with HCC.

Background: Thyrotoxicosis is the state of thyroid hormone excess with a spectrum of disease ranging from mild to life-threatening complications like thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy and thyroid storm. This study aims to explore the pattern, clinical manifestation, complication, management, and drug adherence of patients with thyrotoxicosis in a tertiary hospital of Northern Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from 2017 to 2018. Data from a 200 thyrotoxicosis cases was collected using a structured questionnaire that includes Morisky Medication Adherence Scale questions. After describing variables, a logistic regression was conducted to identify independent predictors of dilated cardiomyopathy and drug adherence. Statistical significance was declared at p<0.05. Results: Mean age at presentation of thyrotoxicosis was 45 years and females accounted for 89% of the cases. As well, the most common symptom and sign were palpitation and goiter respectively. Thyroid storm occurred in 6% of the cases. Out of 89 patients subjected for echocardiography, 35 (39.3%) of them had dilated cardiomyopathy. And, the odds of dilated cardiomyopathy was higher in patients who had atrial fibrillation (AOR=15.95, 95% CI:5.89-38.16, p=0.001) and tachycardia (AOR=2.73, 95% CI:1.04-7.15, p=0.040). All patients took propylthiouracil and 13.0% of them experienced its side effects. Concerning β-blockers, propranolol was the most commonly (78.5% of the cases) used drug followed by atenolol (15.0%). Six patients underwent surgery. Lastly, drug non-adherence rate was 26% and it was significantly associated with illiteracy, side effect, lack of information and infrequent TSH follow-up. Conclusions: In developing countries like Ethiopia, patients with thyrotoxicosis have no access to methimazole which is the first-line anti-thyroid drug. In addition, they greatly suffer from dilated cardiomyopathy due to late presentation and side effects of propylthiouracil. Therefore, we recommend that patients should get adequate health information about thyrotoxicosis and anti-thyroid drugs including their side effects. Additionally, hospitals and other concerned bodies should also avail TSH test and methimazole at an affordable cost.
