Interaction Between Two Types of Earthworm and Ageratum on Soil Physicochemical Properties
Authors: A. Nweke I.
Published: June 2020

Earthworms are one of the most important soil organisms in tropical ecosystem as they influence mineralogical, structural and microbial composition of soil. The study investigated the effect of interaction between two Nigerian earthworms Eudrilus Eugeniae and Irridodrilus sp and Ageratum species (AG) on soil physicochemical properties in potted experiment. The treatment consisted of 1000g subsoil treated with ageratum (AG); Ageratum + soil inoculated with Eudrilus Eugeniae (AE), Ageratum + soil inoculated with Irridodrilus sp (AI) and control soil not treated (CO). The results of the study showed remarkable differences between the treatments in soil physicochemical properties. The pots inoculated with Eudrilus Eugeniae (AE) relative to other treatments produced high quality ion exchange as evidence from the high (CEC) recorded, enhanced soil aggregation 73% compared to 52% recorded in AI, stabilization of soil aggregates and enhanced availability of nutrient elements by 150% compared to 120% observed in AI. High level of soil pH (9.15) was recorded in AE. AG induced 62% increase in soil erodibility and only 9% increase in availability of soil nutrients. AG was found to be toxic particularly to Irridodrilus whose percentage survival was 0% relative to 67% of Eudrilus Eugeniae whose weight loss was 27%. Ageratum is a bio-pesticide and bio-fertilizer of which its production is simple and cost effective and the efficacy for soil management will require the presence of active soil organisms like earthworms to process Ageratum adequately as was found in this study. The primary materials used in this study are abundantly available and within the reach of farmers. The production and application is eco-friendly, promotes sustainable soil productivity, soil conservation and environmental health. This technology will discourage the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in the study area if well integrated in crop production activities.
Econometric Analysis of Export Led Growth in the Nigerian Economy
Authors: Adelakun Ojo Johnson , Kazeem Olayiwola Olatunde
Published: June 2020

This study investigates the role of export in the economic growth process of Nigeria with using the three sample periods of annual time series data, which are 1961 to 2013, 1970 to 2013 and 1981 to 2013 respectively. The variables for this period of 1961 to 2013 are GDP growth and exports/GDP ratio, the variables for this period of 1970 to 2013 are GDP growth, exports/GDP ratio, Imports/GDP ratio and the real interest rate and the variables for the last period of data are total exports, manufacturing GDP, agricultural GDP, manufacturing exports and agricultural exports respectively. The VAR Granger causality results for the first sample period show no causal relationship between exports and the GDP growth which illustrates that the two variables are independent of each other. The VAR results for the period of 1970 to 2013 show no causality between the variables under consideration. Following the results of the Granger causality test for this last period of 1981 to 2013, the results show no evidence of causality existing among the variables, which do not show evidence for the support for the export-led growth in the Nigerian economy. This study concluded that exports do not influence and cannot sustain economic growth in the Nigerian economy. The study recommended that an attempt should be made towards executing an economic policy that will strengthen the economic growth of Nigeria.
Application of Reservoir Performance Indices on Kainji Reservoir System
Authors: Mamman Mohammed Jiya , Matins Otache Y
Published: June 2020

Resilience may be defined as a yardstick that specifies the extent a reservoir recuperates when it fails previously. A reliable water resource system speedily returns to an acceptable state after a failure. Vulnerability measures severity or extent of failures or letdowns, if and once they occur. Sustainability index (SI) provides a sign of fundamental nature with respects to probable unwanted repercussions if imbalance of waters occurs. Sustainability index (SI) can also be expressed as a mean of reliability, resilience and vulnerability. This study employs commonly used indices (reliability, resilience, and Vulnerability) to assess the performance of Kainji reservoir system. To attain this, rain fall and river flow data were obtained from Kainji Hydrological station in New Bussa Nigeria. Analysis using MAKESENS software was used on the rainfall and river flows to look at the extreme events. In order to determine the performance of the reservoir system some reservoir performance indices were employed, these are; vulnerability, resilience, and sustainability index. This is achieved by adopting relevant existing equations. Reservoir flows and storages ware employed, different draft ratios were considered (0.3- 1.0). Varying demand levels were also chosen (0 – 0.8) as against the coefficient of variation to look at the monotonic behaviour of resilience against the various levels of demand. Volume reliability falls repeatedly as draft/ MAR upsurges and bigger values were attained as S/MAR rises. The analysis on the reservoir shows that as demand decreases the sustainability increases and also the higher the storage ratio the higher the sustainability index. It also shows that as draft ratio increases the resilience decreases, and because the draft ratio decreases the resilience increases. The reservoir system was classified as within year system, which suggests high resilience, less vulnerable and sustainable. The operation rule shows the need for optimization.
Dose the FDI Flow into Arab Region Influenced by the Global Financial Crisis?
Authors: Aziz Omar Ghazy
Published: June 2020

This study provides an overall view of the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows for the Arab region during the global financial crisis (GFC) in 2008. There a little attention has given to the FDI flows in Arab region as the main focus was on the countries where the GFC started. The objective of this study is to compare and analyses the global FDI inflows with Arab region during the GFC. It attempts to answer the question whether the FDI flow into Arab region was impacted immediately by the GFC? It provides a case analysis of FDI inflows in the Arab countries to test what is the reduction in these inflows? Are FDI inflows hold due to the assumption of that the region is considered as preferable distention to FDI? The study gives better understanding to the share of each individual Arab country over the period. It also introduces a case analysis of FDI inflow for Arab countries then compare it with other global regions.
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Climate
Authors: Smirnov Boris.M.
Published: June 2020

Atmospheric radiative fluxes are evaluated for the line-by-line model of spectral lines in considering the atmosphere as a weakly nonuniform plane layer and altitude profiles of its parameters are taken from the model of standard atmosphere. Concepts of molecular spectroscopy are combined with the local thermodynamic equilibrium for greenhouse gases and with information from HITRAN data base for parameters of radiative transitions. In addition, the energetic balance of the Earth allows one to determine the radiative flux from clouds. As a result, the algorithm is worked out for evaluation of the atmospheric radiative flux toward the Earth depending on its composition. We below concentrate on the change of atmospheric radiative fluxes as a result of doubling of the concentration of CO2 molecules. It is shown that the change of the global temperature in this case according to the above algorithm in 5-6 times exceeds that followed from climatological models which are based on old spectral data, rather than those from HITRAN data base. These codes ignore overlapping of spectral lines of atmospheric radiators.

Authors: Hendler Bruno , Sander Daniel , Costa Lucas
Published: June 2020

A hipótese central deste trabalho é que a subida da China nas cadeias globais de valor (CGV) do mundo do futebol é uma variável dependente (resultante) de duas variáveis independentes: i) ela segue as linhas gerais da inserção econômica internacional do país, que tem apresentado indicadores notáveis de agregação de valor e fortalecimento de marcas nacionais com forte dirigismo do governo; e ii) este processo faz parte de um projeto de Estado que visa utilizar do futebol como ferramenta de soft power no plano internacional. Após compreender a correlação entre esses processos, a parte final do artigo dedica-se a apontar os desafios e possibilidades para o desenvolvimento do futebol na China no longo prazo.
Mulheres em refúgio: a marginalização de refugiadas em um sistema internacional hierarquizado
Authors: Morais Rafaela Julich
Published: June 2020

O principal objetivo deste artigo é analisar como as mulheres refugiadas do Sul Global são tratadas pelo Sistema Internacional e pelo Regime Internacional de Refúgio. A hipótese do trabalho parte do nível sistêmico e conclui que as mulheres refugiadas são excluídas política, social e economicamente de ambas as esferas e tal exclusão é refletida também nas sociedades de acolhida. Essa marginalização ocorre devido às relações coloniais de poder que moldam o globo em múltiplas hierarquias de gênero, raça, etnia, nacionalidade e status migratório, as quais inferiorizam as mulheres que buscam por refúgio tanto no próprio Sul quanto no Norte Global. Fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a edificação hierárquica e dicotômica do Sistema Internacional com base na exploração e inferiorização do Sul Global; sobre as contradições do Regime Internacional de Refúgio e a construção de “mitos da diferença” que retrataram e continuam a representar pessoas refugiadas como “ameaças” à segurança e à cultura nacionais; sobre a categorização das mulheres em situação de refúgio como vulneráveis, e; por fim, sobre a necessidade de se incorporar um olhar interseccional às análises de processos migratórios forçados.

“English Learning Is Like…” : Metaphorical Perceptions of Prospective English Teachers About Language Learning Process
Authors: Mudra Heri , Aini Nurul
Published: June 2020

The present study aimed to examine the attitudes and types of metaphorical perceptions of male and female prospective English teachers (PETs) towards their English learning process. Elicitation sheet with the prompt â€œEnglish learning is (like) â€¦ because â€¦â€ was used to collect the data. The data were qualitatively analyzed by listing, naming, categorizing, and determining the metaphors. The results of the elicited metaphors reveal that male and female PETsâ€™ attitudes towards English learning process include positive, negative, ambivalent, and neutral perceptions. Both male and female PETs viewed English learning in different attitudes. Male PETs generated more negative attitudes than the positive ones, while female PETs produced more positive attitudes than the negative ones. The findings also show that the metaphors were categorized into several types such as enjoyable activity, construction work, movement/journey, experience, planting/farming, exploration, and things. These types of metaphor imply the importance of the socio-cultural background of the learners. In conclusion, the metaphors help to determine appropriate strategies, methods, and materials for English teaching and learning.
Revolutionary China in N. S. Tikhonov’s Story “The Friend of the People”
Authors: Yang Liping
Published: June 2020

The study aims to determine the artistic concept of revolutionary China and the associated image of Sun Yat-sen in N. S. Tikhonov’s story “The Friend of the People” within the context of creative attitudes that the “Serapion brothers” had and A. M. Gorky’s view on the author’s writings. The research is novel in that it is the first to draw parallels between the images and motifs of “The Friend of the People” and the story “Mother”. N. S. Tikhonov connected the characters’ fates to the great river, imparted the image of the working people’s paramount leader with Christian traits and created the image of a broken-hearted mother. The attained results have shown that N. S. Tikhonov deviated both from the “Serapion brothers”, who valued candour, truth in literature, and from Gorky’s realism in depiction of the revolutionary movement and the people’s leader.

Authors: Galieva Guzel' Rafaelovna
Published: June 2020

The research objective includes considering specificity of destructive verbs functioning as phraseological components. The article describes types of these verbs in the structure of idioms, proverbs and sayings, identifies semantic correlations between the component meaning of destruction and the phraseological unit’s general meaning. Scientific originality of the paper lies in the choice of the research object and subject, i.e. the phrase-formative potential of destructive verbs is analysed by the material of the German language. The author concludes on the importance of verbs’ primary meaning of physical destruction in the formation of secondary, reinterpreted meaning of a phraseological unit. Often the primary meaning of destruction is preserved, but reinterpreted as non-physical destruction, for example, psychological, etc.

Lessons from the Past: Ideas from Supervision Books Published from 1920 through 1950
Authors: Gordon Stephen P.
Published: June 2020

By understanding its past, a field of study and practice can better understand its present and improve its future, yet the field of educational supervision has done very little to document or contemplate its history. In this paper, 10 books on supervision published from 1920 through 1950 are reviewed, including books by Nutt (1920), Burton (1922), Crabbs (1925), Barr and Burton (1926), Nutt (1928), Kyte (1930), Barr (1931), Rorer (1942), Barr, Burton, and Brueckner (1947), and Wiles (1950). The discussion of each book is organized into three parts. First, the author discusses a concept from the book that he believes should be retained, meaning the concept should continue to be discussed and acted upon. Second, the author reviews a concept no longer valued or utilized that he argues should be revived in order to improve present-day supervision. Third, the author describes a concept discussed in the book under review that he maintains should be reproved as a negative influence on the field. The reader is urged to review historical literature on supervision and form her or his own perspectives on the value of historical concepts to modern supervision.

Female reproductive structures of Ginkgo gomolitzkyana N. Nosova, sp. nov. from the Middle Jurassic of Angren (Uzbekistan)
Authors: Nosova N. V.
Published: June 2020

Ovules (seeds) of Ginkgo gomolitzkyana N. Nosova, sp. nov. are described from the Angrenian Formation of the Middle Jurassic in Angren, Uzbekistan. Ovules are attached to pedicels with a collar at bases. Collar diameter of G. gomolitzkyana is similar to that of G. ginkgoidea from the Middle Jurassic of Sweden and G. apodes from the Lower Cretaceous of China. Unfortunately the epidermal structures of the two last species are not described. Epidermal patterns of the outer surface of the collar of G. gomolitzkyana are similar to those of G. yimaensis. Lack of data on the structures of the collar inner surface of G. gomolitzkyana does not allow any detailed comparison. G. yimaensis differs from G. gomolitzkyana by 1.5โ€”2 times larger collar diameter.

The ovules (seeds) of G. gomolitzkyana are similar to the ovules (seeds) of G. ginkgoidea, G. yimaensis, G. apodes, G. cranei and Ginkgo sp. (Deng et al., 2004), but they are smaller. The cuticle of the integument and the nucellus cuticle of G. apodes and Ginkgo sp. are not described, what does not allow a comparison with them. G. cranei, unlike G. gomolitzkyana, has thicker outer cuticle of integument and lacking papillae on the subsidiary cells of the stomata. The structures of megaspore membrane are studied only for G. ginkgoidea and G. yimaensis. They are similar to the structures of G. biloba and G. gomolitzkyana. Megaspore membrane of G. ginkgoidea is thicker, than that of G. gomolitzkyana. The dimensions of lacuna and bacula of G. ginkgoidea are not specified. The bacula of the megaspore membrane of G. yimaensis are smaller, than those of G. gomolitzkyana. In addition, G. yimaensis differs from the new species by the curved anticlinal cell walls of the outer integument epidermis. Unlike G. gomolitzkyana anticlinal cell walls of the nucellus of G. ginkgoidea are sometimes sinuous and mostly puncticulate. The seeds of G. biloba are five times larger than seeds of G. gomolitzkyana. The thickness of the outer integument cuticle of the living species is larger and the bacula of the megaspore membrane are thicker.

This is the first record of the female reproductive structure of Ginkgo from the Jurassic in the Middle Asia.
The Envymaam floristic assemblage from the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt
Authors: Golovneva L. B. , Shczepetov S. V.
Published: June 2020

The Envymaam floristic assemblage occurs from basaltic rocks of the Envymaam Formation in the Envymaam River basin, Central Chukotka segment of the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanogenic belt. This assemblage consists of 18 taxa: Hepaticites sp., Coniopteris tschuktschorum (Krysht.) Samyl., Phoenicopsis ex gr. angustifolia Heer, Cupressinocladus enmyvaamensis Golovn., sp. nov., Araliaephyllum philippoviae Golovn., sp. nov. Among them, two species are fi rstly described. The Envymaam assemblage is characterized by presence of the Early Cretaceous relicts (Phoenicopsis), by rarity of angiosperms and by small sizes of their leaves.

Age of the Envymaam floristic assemblage is determined as the late Campanian on the basis of systematic composition, palynological, paleomagnetic and isotopic data.

Direct continuity between the Envymaam and the Ust’-Emuneret floristic assemblages from the subjacent Emuneret Formation it isn’t observed that is caused probably by the poor composition of the Envymaam floristic assemblage. Palynological assemblages from the Envymaam, Ust’-Emuneret, Ola and Arkagala Formations are very similar.
Psychological Networks can Identify Potential Pathways to Specific Intervention Targets for Anxiety in Response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Authors: Papini Santiago , Dainer-Best Justin , Rubin Mikael , Zaizar Eric D. , Telch Michael J , Smits Jasper A. J.
Published: June 2020

Addressing mental health challenges related to the COVID-19 outbreak can be facilitated through research that characterizes the needs of subpopulations and identifies specific pathways to targeted intervention. Toward this aim, we examined the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on anxiety symptoms among college students (N = 487) and explored the relative impact of coping strategies using a psychological network approach, which models complex interactions to identify potential pathways to symptom-level intervention. Although students showed several significant fluctuations in pre- to post-outbreak anxiety symptom levels measured with the GAD-7, anxiety network connectivity was not significantly different across timepoints. Consistent with hypotheses, the post-outbreak symptom+coping network revealed that increased use of the adaptive coping strategies of acceptance, behavioral activation, and values-based action was associated with lower levels of fear, restlessness, and trouble relaxing. The symptom+coping network also revealed that increased use of the maladaptive strategies of excessive cleaning, reassurance seeking, and excessive checking was associated with higher levels of irritability and fear. Surprisingly, the use of reappraisal and avoidance, two strategies with putatively opposing adaptive value, highly overlapped and showed positive associations with fear and irritability. These symptom+coping associations can guide the assessment and treatment of anxiety in the face of COVID-19.

Published: June 2020

The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to uncertainty and severe health and economic concerns, which may have impacted human-dog relationships. Our objectives were to investigate how people perceived and acted during the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, in regards to dog adoption and abandonment; and to examine the bidirectional relationships between dog owners’ well-being to that of their dogs. Overall, according to our analysis, the stricter the social isolation became during the pandemic, the interest in dog adoption as well as adoption rate increased significantly, while abandonment did not change. Moreover, there was a clear association between individuals’ impaired quality of life and their perceptions of poorer life quality of their dogs as well as the development of new behavioral problems. These findings suggest potential benefits for human-dog relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, in compliance with the One Welfare approach.
Does the Company's Scale, Fixed Asset Intensity and Operating Cash Flow Affect Asset Revaluation?
Authors: Poerwati Rr. Tjahjaning , Hardiningsih Pancawati , Srimindarti Caecilia , Sundari Retno Ika
Published: June 2020

Fixed assets that are measured using cost may have lost their relevance because they do not reflect the real situation. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the company to revaluate its fixed assets. The sample of this study consisted of 426 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2015-2018 time frame. The research sample was selected by purposive sampling. Technical analysis of the study used logistic regression. The results of this study found that only fixed asset intensity and operating cash flow affect the revaluation of fixed assets and the scale of the company does not affect the decision of the revaluation of fixed assets. The implication of the results of the study shows that large-scale companies do not always revaluate fixed assets because they can cause taxes on revaluations that must be borne by the company. In addition, the practical implications also show that the Indonesian government must increase the number of licensed appraisers to compensate for the increasing number of companies adopting revaluation models.
Analysis of Factors Affecting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Inflows in Indonesia
Authors: Yuniarto Agung
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the factors that influence the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Indonesia. The data in this study are panel data that combines time series data and cross sectional data. Time series data covers the period 1990 to 2018, while cross sectional data covers partner countries that hold tax treaty with Indonesia. The research hypothesis was tested with panel data regression. Based on the results of the analysis, it is obtained evidence that the Tax Treaty (Perjanjian Penghindaran Pajak Berganda/P3B) variable has different effects based on its age range. Tax treaty which has a short-term age range has no effect on FDI inflow, medium age range has a negative effect, and a long-term range  has a positive effect. Therefore the government can maximize the flow of FDI from countries that have a long-term tax treaty life span. Openness in trade in partner countries also has a positive effect on FDI inflows in Indonesia (FDI). The higher level of trade openness with partner countries, means the lower trade barriers in the country. Whereas the ratio of GDP per capita of partner countries to Indonesia and the exchange rates of partner countries to USD negatively affect FDI inflows.
A case of adult α-type spinal deformity with spinal cord rotation greater than 90°
Authors: Neifert Sean N. , Grant Lauren K. , Rasouli Jonathan J. , McNeill Ian Thomas , Cho Samuel K. , Caridi John M.
Published: June 2020

This report describes a 42-year-old man who presented with an α-type spinal deformity with a Cobb angle of 224.9° and associated spinal cord rotation greater than 90°. Preoperative imaging revealed extensive spinal deformity, and 3D modeling confirmed the α-type nature of his deformity. Intraoperative photography demonstrated spinal cord rotation greater than 90°, which likely contributed to the patient’s poor neurological status. Reports of patients with Cobb angles ≥ 100° are rare, and to the authors’ knowledge, there have been no published cases of adult α-type spinal deformity. Furthermore, very few cases or case series of spinal cord rotation have been published previously, with no single patient having rotation greater than 90° to the authors’ knowledge. Given these two rarities presenting in the same patient, this report can provide important insights into the operative management of this difficult form of spinal deformity.
Safety of immediate use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs after pediatric craniotomy for tumor
Authors: Nesvick Cody L. , Oushy Soliman , Daniels David J. , Ahn Edward S.
Published: June 2020

OBJECTIVE

Postoperative pain can limit the recovery of children undergoing craniotomy for tumor resection, and pain management is highly variable between institutions and practitioners. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective in treating postoperative pain following craniotomy, but their use has been limited by concerns about postoperative hemorrhage. The risk of postoperative hemorrhage is not insignificant in patients undergoing craniotomy for tumor resection. No study has specifically addressed the safety of NSAIDs in the immediate postoperative setting following craniotomy for tumor resection in pediatric patients.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective cohort study in patients younger than 18 years of age who underwent craniotomy for tumor resection at a single tertiary referral center between 2009 and 2019. The study outcomes were 1) postoperative hemorrhage requiring return to the operating room for decompression, evacuation, or CSF diversion for hemorrhage-associated hydrocephalus; and 2) more-than-minimal hemorrhage on routine postoperative imaging. Patients receiving any NSAID in the hospital formulary on the same day as surgery (postoperative day zero [POD0]) were designated as such.

RESULTS

Two hundred seventy-six children underwent 308 craniotomies for tumor resection over the study period. One hundred fifty-four patients (50.0%) received at least one dose of an NSAID on POD0. Six patients (1.9%) required a return to the operating room for a hemorrhagic complication, including 3 who received an NSAID on POD0 (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.20–5.03). Seventeen patients (6.3% of patients imaged) had more-than-minimal hemorrhage on routine postoperative imaging, 9 of whom received an NSAID on POD0 (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.40–2.89).

CONCLUSIONS

Use of NSAIDs on POD0 was not associated with either an increased risk of hemorrhage requiring a return to the operating room or asymptomatic hemorrhage on routine postoperative imaging. The overall incidence of clinically significant postoperative intracranial hemorrhage is low. These data support the use of NSAIDs as a safe measure for pain control in the postoperative setting for children undergoing craniotomy for tumor resection.
EXPLICIT FORMULA FOR DEPTH OF PENETRATION OF CONE-NOSED IMPACTOR INTO ANISOTROPIC SHIELDS
Authors: Dubinsky A.V.
Published: June 2020

The field of application of Functionally Graded Materialsis steadily expanding, which stimulates research in the relevant areas. In relation to penetration mechanics, these are primarily experimental studies of multilayer barriers consisting of plates “in contact” with various mechanical properties. Despite intensive research, explicit formulas for integral penetration characteristics (penetration depth and ballistic limit) cannot be obtained, except for the case when sequential penetration of layers (barriers with large gaps between layers).

In this article, explicit formulas for the depth of penetration into an semi-infinite shield and for the ballistic limit velocity applying penetration into a shield of a finite thickness are derived assuming that the hardness of the barrier material varies continuously depending on barrier depth. The theoretical analysis is based on a model that represents the normal stress at points on the surface of the penetrating body that are in contact with the barrier as a quadratic function of the normal component of local impactor velocity with a zero linear term (the Vitman - Stepanov model). Difference of the dynamic hardness in different points of impactor-barrier contact is taken into account. It is also assumed that the nose of the striker has the form of a straight circular cone and the initial stage of penetration when the striker is not completely immersed in the barrier is ignored.

It is supposed that the nеighboring pairs of rollers are loсatеd at diffеrеnt lеvеls in hеight rеlativе to еaсh othеr. This сondition is rеalizеd for ехamplе in thе dryеr sесtion of papеr maсhinе. Thе moving wеb is modеllеd by a сontinuous membranе panеl supportеd by a systеm of fiхеd rollеrs, so that thе simplе support соnditions are realized at thе еnd points of еaсh span. Thе сonsidеration is rеstriсtеd bу onе span. Thе membranе panеl movеs in aхial dirесtion and makеs transvеrsе еlastiс vibrations dеsсribеd in Еulеr сoordinatеs. Thеsе arising small vibrations dеfinе thе loсаl aссеlеration, Coriolis aссеlеratiоn and thе сеntripеtal aссеlеration. Taking intо aссоunt thе position of thе supports thе aхial movеmеnt of thе mеmbranе panеl is aссеlеratеd and it is rеalizеd undеr aсtion of aхial tеnsion and thе сomponent оf gravity forсе. Thе solutions оf thе dеfining еquation of thе panеl dynamiсs are presentеd in thе form of timе harmoniсs. Тhе amplitudе funсtiоn is сonsidеrеd and thе auхiliary variablеs arе introduсеd.Тhrough a sеriеs of suссеssivе transformations thе dеfining diffеrеntial equation оf thе panеl dуnamiсs is rеduсеd to Gauss's hypеrgеomеtriс еquation. Thе solution of this еquation is givеn analytiсally in thе form of hypеrgеоmеtriс sеriеs. The result obtained is of theoretical interest and can be useful for making practical assessments of the material movement process.
