Authors: Bastos Guerrero Diana Carolina , Illera Bustos Mario Joaquín , Sepúlveda Mora Sergio Basilio
Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Proponer un sistema adaptativo de inferencia neuro-difusa (ANFIS) para la estimación de la radiación solar global en la ciudad de Cúcuta (Norte de Santander, Colombia)

Metodología: A partir de registros históricos del IDEAM se obtuvieron las variables: temperatura ambiente, brillo solar, velocidad del viento, humedad relativa, hora de medición y radiación solar global entre los años 2005 y 2015. Usando la herramienta Fuzzy Logic Toolbox de Matlab y los datos del IDEAM se crearon redes ANFIS con diferentes configuraciones. Después de comparar los errores estadísticos, se escogió el modelo ANFIS que minimizara el RMSE.

Resultados: Los errores estadísticos del modelo son: R2 = 0.9115, RMSE = 124,23 Wh/m2 y MAPE = 27,8 %, evidenciando una alta precisión para la estimación de la radiación solar global en el territorio seleccionado.

Conclusiones: La red ANFIS propuesta es un modelo basado en inteligencia artificial con precisión suficiente para ser usado en el diseño de sistemas fotovoltaicos en la región, que no cuenta con una amplia red de piranómetros para medir el recurso solar.
The Impact of Disclosure Sentiment on the Share Prices of Russian Companies
Authors: Kopyrin Maksim , Naidenova Iuliia
Published: June 2021

Information about companies published in a news feed is invariably tinted by emotional tonality. As such, resultingperceptions may influence the opinion of market players, and consequently affect the dynamics of a company’s shareprice. This study aims to evaluate various hypotheses about the impact of the tone of news items regarding dividends,capital expenditures, and development on the stock prices of Russian companies. Information disclosure is extensivelystudied, and there have been limited studies on the effect of disclosures on Russian companies. However, until now, therehave been no research studies which verify hypotheses on the influence of news sentiment on corporate share prices inthe Russian market.

This analysis was conducted using data from 49 Russian public companies included in the Moscow exchange indexover the period from the end of 2017 to the beginning of 2019. To account for the proximate impact of news items onconsequential market phenomena, an event study methodology was applied in order to estimate and construct themodels of dependency of cumulative abnormal return (CAR) on news tone level, and control for financial and nonfinancialfactors.

Our results provide evidence for the positive impact of the tone of news texts on the share prices of Russian companies.The increase in news tone by one standard deviation leads to a cumulative abnormal stock return increase of 0.26percentage points. This result is consistent with previous research conducted on data from developed stock markets.Moreover, the relationship between the tone or sentiment level of a news item and the stock price reaction is linear,without the diminishing marginal effect.

Our conclusions should prompt companies to invest effort in delivering information in a tonally positive way,highlighting the most positive news. Investors, in turn, should rationally approach the interpretation of publishedinformation.
English for General Academic Purposes or English for Specific Purposes? Language Learning Needs of Medical Students at a Chinese University
Authors: Li Yuehua , Heron Marion
Published: June 2021

The debate over the appropriacy of EGAP and ESP has been an ongoing concern in many higher education contexts. In this paper we discuss how teachers’ and students’ perceptions of English curriculum needs are reflected in the conflict between short-term goals, such as passing exams, and long-term goals, such as career development. Students, doctors and teachers at a medical university in the central part of China were asked about their needs through questionnaires and structured interviews. The findings suggest that whilst many felt the need for medical English to be taught in the early years, particularly through medical texts, there was also push back due to the need for general English to pass English exams, such as CET4/6. We argue that through the incorporation of medical texts, students can start to develop their medical English from the first year of university. This not only ensures the motivation for students to study medical English for professional purposes, but also fulfills the perceived need to prepare for the exam.

Published: June 2021

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the presentation and postoperative resultsof children treated by open reduction and closed reduction for completely displaced Gartland type IIIsupracondylar humerus fractures (SCFs). Method: Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is acommon paediatric fracture seen in our OPD. Among them Type III fractures are displaced with nocortical contact, and reduction is difficult, and maintaining reduction is almost impossible withoutsome form of internal fixation. Therefore during surgery of type 3 fractures, fixation is done by twomethods. 1 open reduction and fixation with 2 cross k-wire 2. closed reduction and fixation with 2cross k-wire fixation. Following pinning, the elbow was immobilized in an above elbow slab inpronation with the elbow at 75 degrees of flexion. Result: The average age of patients was 5 years(age range, 3 to 10 years). The test population consisted of 18female (36%) and 32 male (64%)patients. There were 31 fractures (62%) in the right elbow and 19 fractures (38%) in the left. Group1 patients stayed in the hospital for 5 days while Group 2 stayed for only 2 days in the hospital. Alsogroup 1 patient required follow-up at eight postoperative days (for check dressing) and 11postoperative days for stitch removal while group 2 patients were directly called for k-wire removalat 3 weeks postoperatively. Both groups of patients were called after three weeks for k-wireremoval. Mean clinical follow-up for both groups was 6 months. Conclusion: The closed reductiontechnique was preferred because it required less hospitalization time, less number followup, andresulted in almost no visible surgical scars.

Published: June 2021

The frontal lobes make a significant contribution to the formation of individual personality traits, in connection with which it is important to identify the links between the parameters of the bioelectric activity of the frontal cortex and the indicators of psychological tests. The aim of this work was to study the relationship between the indicators of extraversion and neuroticism of the subjects and the parameters of their EEG. For the first time, differences in these relationships were found at rest and during standard functional tests, without the use of additional specialized loads. The study involved healthy subjects of both sexes, average age 19.3 years; all subjects are right-handed. To identify the level of extraversion and neuroticism, the standard Eysenck test (option B) was used. The EEG was recorded using the bipolar derivation method. 19 electrodes were exposed in accordance with the international Jasper system 1020%. EEG was recorded at rest with eyes closed and during functional tests: eye opening, hyperventilation, photostimulation. The correlation coefficients of the index and absolute power of the EEG with the level of extraversion and neuroticism were calculated both for the entire sample of subjects and for individual groups according to the level of extraversion and the level of neuroticism. For the entire sample of subjects, positive significant correlations of EEG power with the level of extraversion and negative with the level of neuroticism were revealed. In the groups of subjects with high, medium and low levels of extraversion and neuroticism, the differences in correlation relationships with EEG parameters are more pronounced. In these groups, these differences are more often manifested when performing functional tests than at rest with closed eyes.

Published: June 2021

Since walking is a dynamic activity which is an automatic process and attention demanding task. Dual task while walking may cause changes in gait, therefore this study primarily aims to identify whether a secondary cognitive or motor task would have a greater effect on gait parameters in different age groups. Secondarily, it aims to examine difference in gait performance between young and older adults while performing cognitive and motor tasks. Student’s t- test and Repeated measure analysis of variance was used for Statistical analyses. Older group had significantly higher gait time (mean difference: 2.61,3.86, and 6.37seconds), lower stride length (mean difference: 0.26, 0.25, and 0.28 cm), and higher step width (mean difference: 1.46,1.85, and 3.13cm) during simple walking task, motor task and cognitive task while walking, respectively as compared to young adults.This study concludes that the secondary cognitive task has affect the selected gait parameters more in young and older adults as compared to secondary motor task. Additionally, dual task performance has shown difference between gait of young and older adults

Experimental compositions of coatings based on SiO2–Al2O3–MgO matrix glass and modifying additives are considered. A number of refractory metal oxides were selected as modifying additives. The influence of these additives on the properties of the coating melt, such as the spreadability and the wetting edge angle, as well as the oxidability of the resulting compositions, is studied. It was found that the experimental coating modified with aluminum oxide has the best protective properties. The introduction of modifying additives in quantities of more than 5 % is considered inappropriate.

Published: June 2021

The study defines two main research areas of ideas about a rescuer psychologist. The first area is devoted to the issue of creating social representations about the specialist psychologist and his/her relations with representatives of other professional groups. The other area is represented by works focused on the direct analysis of the profession of psychologist, specific peculiarities of professional activity and personal characteristics of the psychologist. It is indicated that the study of the representations about rescuer psychologist’ involves collective consciousness, and the main direction that allows to solve the reconstruction problem of idea about a rescuer psychologist in the system of categories and conceptual coordinates is psychosemantics. For this purpose, the method of associative experiment defines the basic constructs used by the population to evaluate the representation about a psychologist. The obtained words associations were used to develop a method of semantic scaling of the concept "Psychologist". The research has constructed the semantic profiles of perception of a civilian psychologist and a rescuer psychologist, their most pronounced characteristics were defined. With the help of multidimensional scaling the place of rescuer psychologist in psychosemantic space of psychologists of different kinds of activity was determined. Thus, the rescuer psychologist has the closest professional similarity with a military psychologist and forensic psychologist. According to the respondents' opinion, he/she (a rescuer psychologist) mainly provides psychological correction and rehabilitation, he/she has to work in uncomfortable and dangerous conditions, and also to deal with both individual and group psychological problems.

Technically, online space seems to be connective beyond national borders and could serve for mass communication between Europeans, both European Union citizens and candidate countries’ citizens. With high internet penetration rates and Web 2.0 tools availability never before had there been such huge potential of growth in communication. Does it mean that European information society emerges? Or contrary: does it seem that pan-European institutions use online tools in non-pan-European or even counter-pan-European ways?

[Un] Silencing the Genuine Voices of Young Emerging Scholars on Challenges Facing Young Academics in South African Universities
Authors: Rapanyane Makhura Benjamin
Published: June 2021

There is a clear systemic motive to silence and undermine the genuine voices of young academics in comprehensive South African universities. The foregoing manifests in various ways including gate-keeping publishing techniques. Senior academics do not emphasize the significance of ‘publish or perish’ mantra as needed and on time for young emerging academics. This continued invidious practice is further perpetuated by the circulating scholarly reports and the media-alike which intentionally do not pay too much attention to this ongoing injustice. Where such is reported, it is often not given too much attention, or rather side-lined and even critiqued. This research article seeks to revisit all the various challenges facing young emerging scholars in South African universities. Due to complicated ethical reasons, the author does not dwell much on pin-pointing universities one by one. Also, this is because the problem seems to be a country-wide systemic instigation to undermine the new emerging voices of young emerging scholars who were previously marginalized and kicked out of the apartheid research system. I, therefore, adopt Afrocentricity as a theoretical lens to challenge the perpetuation of this continued intentional and discriminatory practice against publishing whilst young.
Methodology for implementing the personal approach in adaptive learning systems

Published: June 2021

The accelerated introduction of digital technologies in education has already acquired an avalanche-like mode, which has become an effective factor in research to improve the conceptual and technological solutions for the development and application of various synthetic learning environments. One of the most important areas of their improvement is giving them flexibility to maximize the capabilities of each student. In the theory and practice of psychology, this route is associated with various options for implementing the personal approach as a personalization of learning. Engineering and communication technologies in education open up opportunities for personalizing learning, which have expanded significantly, but the problems of theory and practice of education have also become more relevant. Various options for personalization of training are also implemented when creating synthetic artificial environments, one of the actively developed varieties of which are adaptive learning systems (ALS). The main factors that complicate the use of ALS, experts attribute their high cost and insufficient efficiency, which necessitates the search for new approaches to the development of ALS on the most clear, rational theoretical and methodological principles. Also, the reason for the limited use of ALS is that the personalization inherent in their design does not allow for the necessary consideration the shades of students’ socio-psychological specifics in combination with regulatory requirements, which teachers achieve by developing and implementing their training programs.Conceptually, research on ALS is an example of the interacting the natural science and humanitarian paradigms in human studies. To increase the effectiveness of such interaction, logically relevant theoretical models are needed that are applicable to a wide range of subjects studied within the framework of the humanitarian paradigm. Such a theoretical model for the description and development of ALS, in particular, can be built on the basis of the set-theoretic method for process description. The article deals with the application of this method to the structure and functioning of the ALS and the implementation of the adaptation principle in it.

The article considers the issues of studying and forming creative abilities as a scientific problem. Based on the analysis of scientific developments devoted to students’ creative abilities, it was determined that for the most part the professional and creative formation of a bachelor's personality is studied on the basis of a specific direction of training, quite often – on the basis of the analysis of the work of universities of culture and art, and pedagogical creativity in most cases – on the material of the pedagogical university. It was revealed that insufficient attention is paid by scientists to the analysis of the problems of educating creatively enthusiastic specialists in different areas of training, united by common projects, not always subordinate to future professional activities, but revealing internal individual resources, the creative potential of each and aimed at personal self-development. It was confirmed that the formation of creative abilities should be built on the desire for high achievements, and not on the motivation for the development of the student, while it is important to form such creative abilities that can be implemented in different fields of activity. The article provides a characteristic of general creative abilities and a hypothesis is put forward: the formation of general creative abilities of students is possible on the basis of non-core activities – choreography, in order later to show students the possibility of transferring the mastered skills of mastering general creative abilities to pedagogical activity. The article discusses the problem of using choreography as a means of forming general creative abilities, the multilevel and multicomponent nature of which has not been sufficiently studied. Researchers for the most part associate general creativity in choreographic activity with the development of creative thinking. The student choreographic collective isdefined as an open self-organizing system aimed at creative self-actualization and creative self-development of all its participants, regardless of the profile of training.
«The Outline of Universal Grammar» by L. H. Jakob: German philosophical grammar in Russia
Authors:   Yaroslavl state pedagogical university named after К. D. Ushinsky, Lukin Oleg V.
Published: June 2021

The article looks at one of the most famous philosophical grammars written in Russia by Professor L. H. Jakob, a German philosopher, economist and lawyer. The author of the article gives a detailed analysis of the scientist's life against the background of historical events in Germany and Russia at the beginning of the of the XIX century. The author also highlights the details of his scientific career, the history of creation, use and disappearance of his main and only linguistic philosophical work «The Outline of Universal Grammar», all the facts being studied from the perspective of narrative linguistic historiography. Born into a family of farmers, he becomes rector of the University in Halle. However, the Napoleon invasion of the country forces him to flee to Kharkov and start teaching and research activities at the University there. Two years later he moves to St-Petersburg and works in the Ministry of Finance. After less than ten years in Russia, he returns to his alma mater. This article refers to the facts of instability in political and educational life of Russian society during the reign of Alexander I, and highlights their negative impact on both L. H. Jakob’s personal life and his philosophical grammar. The author of the article quotes extensively both from 19thand 20th-century biographical publications and from well-known works on the history of linguistics. The author also refers to works from certain branches of linguistics, which acknowledge the scientist’s contribution to linguistics in general and Russian linguistics in particular. The reasons for both the publication and the defeat of L. H. Jakob's grammar reflected the changing national political environment and the unstable situation in public education in the Russian Empire. Nevertheless, whatever the circumstances, they in no way diminish the significance of this work among other philosophical grammars.

The relevance of the given research can be explained by the fact that concepts of colour represent significant information about the hierarchy of values within the linguistic community and contribute to the notion «colour picture of the world». It is reasonable to conduct a research of colour from the perspective of cultural linguistics, in particular, of its branch, linguistic conceptology. The article provides a linguo-cultural analysis of the colour conceptual sphere, represented by phraseological units with colour attribute and colour words in the english, french and russian languages. The objectives of the research are to carry out a comparative analysis of phraseological units with colour attribute and colour words in the english, french and russian languages and reveal their universality, difference and their unique character in the linguistic cultures under consideration. The main methods of the research are comparative and interpretation analyses as well as etymological and quantitative methods. The main sources for the research are phraseological units with colour attribute and words denoting colour collected from english, french and russian phraseology dictionaries using the continuous sampling method. The research has led to the following conclusions: man perceives the world around through colours, because colour accompanies almost all manifestations of human life; every language culture is characterized by its own ethnic-priority and ethnic-relevant colours; colour acts as an expression of universality, difference and uniqueness in the perception of the outside world. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the development of linguistic and cultural conceptology with regard to the conceps of colour.
Linguistic personality in culture: research areas

The article deals with the definition of linguistic personality in the context of the relationship between language and culture. Language as a cultural phenomenon in determining the linguistic personality is considered in the works of J. L. Weisgerber. Speaking about language as a cultural value, the researcher evaluates the possibility for understanding it as an internal content of culture. Moreover, the author considers the linguistic personality within the context of the internal features of culture, taking into account the existential characteristics of language in its statics and dynamics. In Russian science, the first mention of the linguistic personality is found in V. V. Vinogradov’s works. In his interpretation the linguistic personality acts as an integrative formation including two sides, the collective (social) and individual. An important aspect of V. V. Vinogradov's linguistic personality reconstruction is the fact that the author focuses on the speech structure, which demonstrates real understanding of a language with regard to its functional characteristics, which overcome the closed existence in the system of set rules. Modern Russian linguistic and cultural concepts present more detailed study of linguistic personality practices in the context of culture. For example, V. I. Karasik considers the linguistic personality from the point of view of linguistic conceptology, focusing on integrative understanding of a language in its semantic and value aspects,on the one hand, and in its practical and functional aspects, on the other. Y. N. Karaulov tries to integrate the polarity of the linguistic personality with the levels of its organization, taking into account invariant and variable characteristics. The author notes that the linguistic personality can be characterized from the position of language consciousness and speech behavior. However, the focus of its study in the context of culture reveals certain aspects of human nature and life connected to the implementation of cultural forms, in which the existential foundations of human life are realised, reflecting its spiritual content.

The article seeks to interpret N. A. Nekrasov's text from a new, modern perspective and to consider whether the poem, an «epic of people's life», meets the criteria of an epic work noted by critics, and to what extent the poet answers the question from the title in the final chapter of his work. The authors compare the «canonical» text of the chapter «The Feast for the Whole World» with the draft notes, variants, and page-by-page corrections, which makes it possible to see how Nekrasov's point of view on the events and the main character, Yakov, changed in one of the important episodes, and what tendencies the poet followed in creating the situation depicted. The article shows that the story of Yakov the Faithful, traditionally perceived as the apex scene of the final chapter, contrasts with the conventional canons of the «peasant epic» in the artistic reality of the poem. The article demonstrates that, in contrast to the stable Christian (Orthodox) tradition, Nekrasov portrays the character's suicide as an act of high vengeance, blessed by God, whereas such behavior cannot be recognized as natural and acceptable to the Russian mentality. The analysis carried out in the article demonstrates the occasional nature of many of the circumstances depicted by the writer, the inconsistency and alogism of Nekrasov's characters and their behavior, the violation of the structural and compositional order of the poem. A number of tendentious factors in the text of the poem, the instability and variability of the writer's approaches help the authors of the article identify and establish the process of reducing the objectivity and epic potential of the work, and propose new strategies for understanding the poem and finding its place among the classical works of Russian literature.
A distinção massa / contável em Nadëb
Authors: Obert Karolin
Published: June 2021

As línguas diferem umas das outras em relação a se, e, como, elas categorizam nomes a partir de critérios lexicais e gramaticais específicos. Um exemplo bastante estudado é a distinção entre nomes contáveis e massivos, que divide os nomes de acordo com sua capacidade de serem contados ou medidos. Comparações entre as línguas sobre esse sistema de categorização nominal mostraram que a distinção entre nomes contáveis e nomes massivos não é um reflexo de percepções pré-linguísticas, mas, sim, uma distinção gramatical interna das línguas que mostra como a contabilidade e a mensurabilidade podem ser codificadas gramaticalmente em diferentes tipos de nomes. O foco deste trabalho é analisar como a distinção entre nomes contáveis e massivos é codificada na gramática da língua Nadëb (família Naduhup; ISO 639-3: mbj) - uma língua indígena ameaçada e pouco descrita do Noroeste da Amazônia (Brasil). Os resultados da aplicação do “The count/mass distinction questionnaire”, de Lima e Rothstein (2020), mostram que a possibilidade (ou impossibilidade) de um nome ocorrer sintaticamente justaposto a um numeral é um ponto central para a divisão dos nomes em contáveis e massivos em Nadëb. Além disso, mostro que nomes massivos e contáveis se combinam com conjuntos distintos de quantificadores, e que a possibilidade de ter uma forma (semi-)supletiva para indicar plural também pode ser considerada uma estratégia possível de atribuição de nomes à classe dos nomes contáveis em Nadëb.

Background: Cerebral palsy is non-progressive disorder that can cause limited movement and lead to postural deformity in children, which can affects all the psychosocial aspects and, thus, impacts children’s’ quality of life as well. Assessment of quality of life is important to evaluate suitable intervention measures for children with cerebral palsy. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the domains and determine the quality of life in children with cerebral palsy between ages 2 and 18. Methods: This was a descriptive study that employed a cross-sectional design approach. Primary data was obtained through a questionnaire. This study used the pediatric quality of life inventory (PedsQL)TM 3.0 cerebral palsy module. The study was conducted from November 2019 to February 2020. The data was collected at the Department of Medical Rehabilitation at the Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Peduli CP Foundation, and the Happy CP Community. This study involved 52 subjects, aged 2–18 years. Results: Almost all of the subjects (76.90%) had an impaired or poor quality of life. From the seven existing domains, only one domain received a good score: the domain of movement and balance. Conclusion: Based on the PedsQLTM 3.0 cerebral palsy module, parents reported that the quality of life in children (ages 2–18 years) having cerebral palsy was still low. Only the movement and balance domain got a good score.

Background: Over the last decades, the number of new diabetic cases and the prevalence of diabetes have tended to increase. The diabetes prevalence rate in Indonesia in 2020 reached 6.20%. Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the variables of age, level of education, smoking status, and Body Mass Index (BMI) and the prevalence of diabetes in the urban areas. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and used secondary data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS 5) in 2015. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis and simple logistic regression. The dependent variable in this study was Diabetes Mellitus (DM); the independent variables were age, education level, smoking status, and BMI. Results: In terms of the respondents’ characteristics, individuals were mainly over 35 years of age (130 respondents, 83.87%). The highest level of education was attained by 93 respondents (60.00%). There was a correlation between respondents who were over 35 years of age, with p=0.01; prevalence ratio (PR)=5.60; 95%Cl=3.64–8.62) and the level of education (p=0.01; PR=1.69; 95%Cl=1.22–2.34) with the incidence of diabetes in urban areas in Indonesia. There was no correlation between the smoking status (p=0.55; PR=0.67; 95%Cl=0.01–2.73) and the BMI of respondents with the prevalence of diabetes in urban areas in Indonesia. Conclusion: The age and the level of education were linked to the incidence of diabetes in urban areas in Indonesia.
