STRUCTURAL SPECIFICITIES OF HOUSING CONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS IN THE 15 REPUBLICS OF THE USSR FROM 1918 TO 1990
Authors:   Institute of Socio-Economic Studies of Population of the Federal Center of Theoretical & Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Pilipenko Igor V. ,   Institute for Competitiveness and Integration (RICI), Moscow Russia
Published: August 2023

This article considers the structure and dynamics of housing construction in the 15 Republics of the USSR, subdivided into five macroregions, from 1918 to 1990 based on a dataset compiled by the author from more than 120 statistical yearbooks of the USSR and the Union Republics. We employ housing completions by total floor space as a main indicator for our analysis by Republic of the USSR in general and in urban and rural areas. This indicator is further subdivided into four sources of financing: (1) housing completions by state and cooperative enterpises and organisations; (2) by housing construction cooperatives; (3) by inhabitants at their own expense and with state loans; (4) by collective farms (kolkhozes). The article reveals that, contrary to a quite widespread opinion in the contemporary public discourse about the predominance of the state in housing provision in the USSR since the 1920s, individual housing construction continued to play a leading role in the structure of housing completions by source of financing until the beginning of the 1960s, and the majority of the Union Republics were characterised by considerable volumes of housing construction financed by the population until the end of the 1980s. It is also shown that the degree of urbanisation influenced substantially the proportion between state housing construction and housing construction financed by inhabitants at the level of the Union Republics.

Tsunami - A Transformed Tectonic Movement
Authors: Loyda Ludvík
Published: August 2023

Main characteristics of tsunamis are described here - height and length of waves, speed of travel, period of oscillation etc. The author presumes the tsunami waves follow the block movements of the earth's crust. The beginning of a tsunami is invariable - either the sea water overflows suddenly the coast (following initial upward movement of blocks) or the arrival of a tsunami wave is preceded by a withdrawal of sea (following initial sinking of blocks). The initial movement of the sea water on the coast reflects and transforms only the character of tectonic movements in the adjacent place of the sea-bottom activity. The transgression and/or regression of seawater depends on time when tectonic movements originate. Tlhus the water movement gets complicated.

Authors: Andrade Débora El-Jaick
Published: August 2023

O artigo aborda a constituição do campo da História Digital, as formas como os historiadores estão investigando as fontes virtuais que são produzidas e circulam nas redes sociais digitais, apontando algumas dificuldades e cuidados que os historiadores precisam tomar ao realizar a crítica destas fontes. Discute a monopolização e controle da internet, através das redes sociais digitais e dos algoritmos por parte das plataformas tecnológicas, como o Google, Twitter, Facebook, You tube e a centralidade que estas adquiriram no debate público nas últimas décadas. As redes são espaços virtuais de sociabilidades, interação e ativismo político, amizades, relações afetivas, privacidade, entretenimento, comunicação, letramento, imaginário, de circulação das ideias e de trabalho, e por isto os historiadores do tempo presente, interessados nos aspectos sociais, políticos e econômicos das sociedades contemporâneas, não podem desprezar estes registros construídos nas redes, que pertencem a uma cultura cibernética, ou o potencial das redes como método de investigação histórica, de divulgação e de construção coletiva do conhecimento.

Мета роботи. Вдосконалити методи клініко-диференційної діагностики пацієнтів, хворих на оперізуючий лишай та підвищити ефективність лікування з урахуванням особливостей клінічних проявів дерматозу.

Матеріали та методи. Під спостереженням перебували хворі на оперізуючий лишай віком від 65 до 73 років, які обстежувалися загальними та спеціальними методами дослідження. Виявлялись скарги та анамнез (час появи висипу, початкова картина та розвиток, попереднє лікування); візуальний (загальний, вогнищ ураження); лабораторні методи (ІФА-діагностика, ПЛР, експрес-дослідження, загальний аналіз крові та ін.).

Результати та обговорення. Діагноз оперізуючого лишаю був встановлений на підставі: анамнезу захворювання (більшість пацієнтів пов’язували початок захворювання після різкого переохолодження та гострих вірусних респіраторних інфекцій); скарг хворих на сильні болі в області висипу на шкіри різної інтенсивності; результатів візуального огляду; лабораторних методів дослідження. Характерний гострий початок, що супроводжується нездужанням, підвищення температури та сильними неврологічними болями інтенсивного характеру, які були до появи висипу. На плечах, грудях, животі і сідницях спостерігалися пухирці та скупчення пухирців з щільною покришкою та серозним умістом, які розташовані на еритематозній та набряклій шкірі. Виявлялись збільшені місцеві лімфатичні вузли. Висипка локалізувалася по ходу нервових стовбурів, гілок трійчастого нерву з характерним однобічним ураженням на обличчі, шиї, грудях, сідницях та інших ділянках шкіри. На наш погляд, терапія оперізуючого лишаю має бути спрямована на зниження сильних болів, запобігання ускладнень і постгерпетичної невралгії, швидке одужання пацієнтів. В комплексній терапії оперізуючого лишаю застосовуються противірусні препарати, знеболюючі засоби, стероїдні гормони, антидепресанти, місцеве лікування та інші симптоматичні засоби. Ефективність противірусних засобів (ацикловір, валацикловір, фамцикловір та ін.) доведена численними дослідженнями і значно зростає при початку лікування у перші 48 годин від появи перших висипів (зменшення вираженості болю, зменшення тривалості хвороби та ймовірності постгерпетичної невралгії). У нашому дослідженні гарні терапевтичні результати були досягненні при застосуванні препарату баралгін, який є комбінованим лікарським засобом із вираженою аналгетичною та спазмолітичною активністю.

Висновки. Удосконалена клініко-диференційна діагностика оперізуючого лишаю дозволить підвищити ефективність лікування з урахуванням особливостей клінічних проявів дерматозу. Комплексна терапія з використанням препарату баралгін дає можливість суттєво покращити результати лікування хворих на оперізуючий лишай.

Authors: Aiziatulov Rushan
Published: August 2023

Мета роботи. Проаналізувати джерела літератури і власні дослідження клінічних різновидів стафілококових уражень шкіри та вдосконалити особливості клініко-диференційної діагностики.

Матеріали та методи. На підставі поглибленого аналізу огляду літератури і власних багаторічних досліджень підтверджено провідне значення клініко-диференціальної діагностики стафілококових уражень шкіри, яке дозволить уникнути діагностичних помилок та удосконалити терапевтичні підходи до комплексної терапії.

Результати та обговорення. За даними літератури і власних досліджень гнійничкові хвороби шкіри (піодермії) складають значну кількість дерматологічних хворих, частіше зустрічаються у працівників вуглевидобувної, металургійної, будівельної та в інших галузях промисловості і відносяться до професійних захворювань. Аналітичні дані захворюваності на стафілококові ураження шкіри (стафілодермії) свідчать про значну поширеність дерматозу, який виникає внаслідок проникнення в шкіру людини гнійних мікробів стафілококів і рідше інших мікроорганізмів. При стафілококових ураженнях шкіри розвиток запального процесу переважно відбувається на ділянці розміщення придатків шкіри (шкірно-волосяні фолікули, сальні та потові залози). По перебігу розрізняють гострі, хронічні та рецидивні стафілодермії; залежно від походження – первинні та вторинні. Залежно від глибини ураження виділяють поверхневі (імпетиго стафілококове, остеофолікуліт) і глибокі (фолікуліт, фурункул, карбункул, гідраденіт, сикоз, епідемічна пухирчатка новонароджених, ексфоліативний дерматит новонароджених Рітера, псевдофурункульоз Фінгера, піококова гранульома, шанкриформна піодермія). Стафілококові ураження шкіри важко піддаються різним методам терапії, мають схильність до хронічного тяжкого перебігу, частим рецидивам. Представлений огляд літератури і дані власних багаторічних досліджень вказують на доцільність диференційної діагностики стафілококових уражень шкіри, що дає можливість удосконалити терапевтичні підходи до лікування хворих на стафілококові ураження шкіри.

Висновки. Відзначено основні клініко-диференційні ознаки стафілококових уражень шкіри. Отримані дані дозволять лікарям дерматологам в своїй практичній роботі уникнути діагностичних помилок та удосконалити терапевтичні підходи до комплексного загального і місцевого лікування. Завдяки саме ранній діагностиці можливо обрати оптимальніший варіант лікування стафілококових уражень шкіри з урахуванням сучасних протоколів.

Published: August 2023

The present work represents potential bio-sorbents: Tilia cordata (little leaf linden) and Foeniculum vulgare (fennel). The copper removal was operated in batch procedure. Adsorbent mass, copper ion concentration, pH, time, and temperature considerations were inspected. The highly beneficial provisions for copper adsorption are 10 mg /L as preliminary concentration, 0.2 g as Tilia cordata and Foeniculum vulgare mass and pH 5.5 and 5.23 for Tilia cordata and Foeniculum vulgare. Adsorption statistics follow the Langmuir isotherm with qmax of 29.35 mg/g for Tilia cordata and 32.98 mg/g for Foeniculum vulgare. The removal procedure kinetics was provided perfectly via second-order equations. It was revealed that the copper ion adsorption procedure on mutual bio-sorbents is a spontaneous procedure, and is endothermal for Tilia cordata and Foeniculum vulgare. Characterization of Tilia cordata (little leaf linden) and Foeniculum (vulgare fennel) were inspected with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Vis-IR Spectroscopy, GC-mass and milling cutter. A distinctive development in the adsorbent surface was exhibited through scanning electron microscope. The removal efficiency reached to 93.34 & 95.4 for Tilia (Tilia cordata) and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) respectively at 0.5 M bio-sorbent which indicated that Tilia (Tilia cordata) and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) has good renderability and stability.
L2 Writing Anxiety of Japanese High School Learners
Authors: Sugahara Naomi
Published: August 2023

With the increased emphasis on writing in the new course of study (MEXT, 2018), there is a need for classroom-based research in secondary schools, especially that which takes into account learners’ perspectives at different stages of the writing process. The purpose of this study is to explore the kinds of anxiety that second-year Japanese high school learners of English (n=150) exhibited over a semester and at various points throughout the writing process in a course employing task-based instructional methods. Results from a survey utilizing the Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI; Cheng, 2004) and open-ended questions indicated that students’ L2 writing anxiety decreased over the term and that they perceived their writing abilities as improving. However, students’ responses to items about L2 writing habits revealed a tendency toward avoidance strategies. Moreover, students perceived more anxiety during post-writing discussions and peer editing, suggesting a need for scaffolding during peer correction.

新学習指導要領（文部科学省, 2018）ではライティング指導がより重視され、中学・高等学校における授業研究、特に書くプロセスの様々な段階における学習者の視点を考慮した研究が求められている。本研究では、日本の高校二年生の英語学習者（n=150）が、タスクベースの指導において、一学期中、および書くプロセスの様々な段階で示した不安の程度と種類を調査した。第二言語ライティング不安尺度（Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory: SLWAI; Cheng, 2004）、ならびに書くプロセスに関する調査や自由記述のデータから、本調査の参加者は学期が進むにつれ書くことへの不安が軽減し、第二言語で書く能力が向上したと認識したことが明らかになった。しかし、書くことの習慣に関する調査項目の回答は、回避行動の傾向を示した。加えて、書く前のタスクやメインタスクよりも、書いた後のディスカッションやピア・エディティングに不安を感じていることから、校正の場面における足場架けが必要であると分かった。
A Podcast Format for Expanding Knowledge Through Engaging With Expertise
Authors: Turner Matthew , Schaefer Matthew Y. , Lowe Robert J.
Published: August 2023

Podcasts can be used by language-teaching peers to facilitate collaborative and co-constructive reflection and knowledge development. Not only are podcasts a popular form of open scholarship and science communication, but they can act as a creative method of critical inquiry, while operating as a space for action-research activities. In this paper, we investigated our podcasting format which involves hosts participating in reflective conversations with each other and with outside experts. In this pilot study, we used interaction from three podcast episodes to reveal how the collaborative expansion of knowledge can be traced through an experimental format. Through identifying developmental processes as critical learning episodes, the study yielded some data-led insights into the significance of this initiative on professional learning. We hope to give readers a practical overview of podcasts in use as self-directed continuing professional development tools.

ポッドキャストは、言語教師が互いに考察し、知識を共同構築し、発展させるために利用されている。ポッドキャストは、開かれた学問や科学コミュニケーションの一種であり、探求の方法としてますます利用されるようになり、なおかつアクション・リサーチ活動を行うための空間としても機能している。本論は，ホストが互いに，あるいはまた専門家と、内省的な議論を行うポッドキャストのフォーマットを探求する。この質的研究は、実験的なフォーマットを通じて、知識の共同的な開発がどのように追跡されるかを探るものである。結果として、クリティカル・ラーニング・エピソードの分析を通じて、参加者の職業生活と成長に与える意義について、データに基づく洞察を得ることができた。本論は、継続的専門能力開発のための自己活用ツールとしてのポッドキャストの実用的な説明を提供することを目指している。
Dissociating representations of affect and motion in visual cortices

Published: August 2023

While a delicious dessert being presented to us may elicit strong feelings of happiness and excitement, the same treat falling slowly away can lead to sadness and disappointment. Our emotional response to the item depends on its visual motion direction. Despite this importance, it remains unclear whether (and how) cortical areas devoted to decoding motion direction represents or integrates emotion with perceived motion direction. Motion-selective visual area V5/MT+ sits, both functionally and anatomically, at the nexus of dorsal and ventral visual streams. These pathways, however, differ in how they are modulated by emotional cues. The current study was designed to disentangle how emotion and motion perception interact, as well as use emotion-dependent modulation of visual cortices to understand the relation of V5/MT+ to canonical processing streams. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), approaching, receding, or static motion after-effects (MAEs) were induced on stationary positive, negative, and neutral stimuli. An independent localizer scan was conducted to identify the visual-motion area V5/MT+. Through univariate and multivariate analyses, we demonstrated that emotion representations in V5/MT+ share a more similar response profile to that observed in ventral visual than dorsal, visual structures. Specifically, V5/MT+ and ventral structures were sensitive to the emotional content of visual stimuli, whereas dorsal visual structures were not. Overall, this work highlights the critical role of V5/MT+ in the representation and processing of visually acquired emotional content. It further suggests a role for this region in utilizing affectively salient visual information to augment motion perception of biologically relevant stimuli.
Ultralow-energy amorphization of contaminated silicon samples investigated by molecular dynamics
Authors: Defoort-Levkov Grégoire R N , Bahm Alan , Philipp Patrick
Published: August 2023

Ion beam processes related to focused ion beam milling, surface patterning, and secondary ion mass spectrometry require precision and control. Quality and cleanliness of the sample are also crucial factors. Furthermore, several domains of nanotechnology and industry use nanoscaled samples that need to be controlled to an extreme level of precision. To reduce the irradiation-induced damage and to limit the interactions of the ions with the sample, low-energy ion beams are used because of their low implantation depths. Yet, low-energy ion beams come with a variety of challenges. When such low energies are used, the residual gas molecules in the instrument chamber can adsorb on the sample surface and impact the ion beam processes. In this paper we pursue an investigation on the effects of the most common contaminant, water, sputtered by ultralow-energy ion beams, ranging from 50 to 500 eV and covering the full range of incidence angles, using molecular dynamics simulations with the ReaxFF potential. We show that the expected sputtering yield trends are maintained down to the lowest sputtering yields. A region of interest with low damage is obtained for incidence angles around 60° to 75°. We also demonstrate that higher energies induce a larger removal of the water contaminant and, at the same time, induce an increased amorphization, which leads to a trade-off between sample cleanliness and damage.

Authors: Micah Ezekiel Elton Mike , Adinnu Paulina Oluchukwu , Ibitomi Taiwo
Published: August 2023

This research examines the role of forensic accounting and litigation support in uncovering complex financial transactions and schemes used in money laundering cases in Nigeria. The study applied agency theory, developed by economists such as Jensen and Meckling, Ross, and Fama and Jensen, and used a qualitative research design, secondary sources, and content analysis to analyze the data collected. The study found that the cases of James Ibori, Darius Ishaku, and Diezani Alison-Madueke demonstrate the importance of forensic accounting and litigation support in uncovering complex financial transactions and schemes used in money laundering cases in Nigeria. The use of expert witnesses who provided forensic accounting evidence played a significant role in securing the conviction and forfeiture of assets of the defendants in these cases. Expert witnesses helped establish the existence and extent of money laundering activities, identified and traced the source and destination of laundered funds, explained complex financial transactions and schemes, demonstrated the link between defendants and their accomplices, estimated the value and location of assets acquired with laundered funds, and provided credible and reliable information that withstood cross-examination. The study also found that the expert witnesses helped educate and inform the judges or jury about forensic accounting concepts and techniques, simplified and clarified complex financial issues, enhanced the credibility and persuasiveness of the prosecution's case. The research concludes that forensic accountants must invest in investigative skills and uphold the qualities of honesty and objectivity to be effective expert witnesses in litigation support services. Furthermore, the study revealed that forensic accounting specialists can be invaluable in the collection of evidence, as they can help legal teams unearth information that might define the framework of litigation and detect fundamental issues that might not be noticeable to others.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the impact of corporate financial attributes on waste disposal cost disclosure (WDCD) of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria from 2013-2020. A sample of ten (10) companies listed as industrial goods using census sampling technique was drawn from the population of thirteen (13) companies. Audited annual reports and accounts were used for data extraction. The analysis was done using descriptive statistics and multiple regressions. Explanatory research design was adopted in the study to find out the impact of corporate financial attributes on WDCD. Variables used include firm size, leverage, ROA and sales growth and WDCD measured using ordinal coding scheme based on GRI guidelines (G4). Robustness tests such as multicollinearity test, heteroscedasticity test, normality test and Hausman specification test were conducted to validate the results. The study revealed that there is negative significant relationship between FSIZE, LEV, SGWRT and WDCD while negative insignificant relationship between ROA and WDCD of listed industrial goods companies. The study therefore, recommends that the federal government of Nigeria should make WDCD mandatory especially among industrial good companies considering the nature of their activities polluting the environment. This can be done by making environmental reporting as part of the requirements for listing companies on the floor of Nigerian stock exchange.

The study examines effect of tax on economic growth of developing countries categorized into three regions namely; Africa, Asia and South America for the period 1990 to 2019 with specific objective to determine effect of tax revenue on gross domestic product of the regions collectively and provided comparative analysis of the three regions. Ex post facto research design was used and data were extracted from the World Bank and Organization of Economic Community and Development (2020) while the variables were analyzed using panel regression analytical technique. The study established clear evidence that each of the regions and collective tax revenue have positive significant effect on their gross domestic product. It further found that the positive effect of tax revenue on gross domestic product of the Asian region is more significant than the African and South American countries while that of the African countries is more than that of the South American countries sampled. The study therefore concludes that tax revenue has significant effect on economic growth of developing countries and recommends that governments of developing countries should intensify efforts to sustain their gross domestic product by reinvigorating their tax system, fiscal institutional structures, and framework to generate more tax revenue and invest in critical infrastructure; ensure more efficient means of tax collection so as to reduce the cost of collection and enhance the total revenue from taxes and seek for international collaboration on taxes to enhance growth.

Authors: Morales Reina Victor Enrique
Published: August 2023

La prisión preventiva en el Ecuador se utiliza con frecuencia como una pena anticipada, lo que ocasiona que personas protegidas por el derecho a la presunción de inocencia estén privadas de su libertad, y bajo el riesgo de sufrir una tentado contra su integridad física o su vida, a causa de la deteriorada situación carcelaria que vive el país. En esta artículo se hace una revisión de los criterios establecidos por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y su vulneración en el Ecuador, y a partir de esos presupuestos en este trabajo se analizan los aspectos esenciales de la prisión preventiva como medida cautelar, que incluye su fundamentación jurídica y sus límites, los estándares internacionales vigentes y su configuración jurídica en el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, lo que permitirá determinar en un análisis posterior su posible afectación al derecho a la presunción de inocencia de la persona procesada, que solo se desvirtúa cuando exista una sentencia condenatoria ejecutoriada en su contra.

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la relación entre la educación inclusiva y la educación hospitalaria, analizando su evolución histórica, los desafíos actuales y las implicaciones para el desarrollo de procesos educativos inclusivos y sostenibles en entornos hospitalarios. La metodología utilizada en este estudio se basa en una revisión sistemática de artículos científicos y estudios relevantes que abordan la temática de la educación inclusiva y hospitalaria. Se aplicaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión para seleccionar los artículos adecuados, y se realizó un análisis interpretativo de la información recopilada. Los principales resultados revelan que la transición de la educación especial a la educación inclusiva ha sido un proceso gradual, pero aún existen desafíos para garantizar su implementación efectiva en todos los contextos educativos, especialmente en el contexto hospitalario. Es fundamental que los docentes adquieran competencias profesionales específicas y adopten un enfoque ecológico, sistémico y social que reconozca las barreras y promueva la participación de todos los estudiantes. Finalmente, se concluye que la educación hospitalaria debe ser concebida como un escenario emergente que promueva el desarrollo integral de los estudiantes y la generación de entornos inclusivos, para ello es necesario superar concepciones cerradas y reconocer la diversidad en todas sus dimensiones.

Os cuidados pré-concecionais são foco crescente de interesse e investimento dado o impacto que vêm demonstrando ter nos resultados da gravidez, da saúde da mulher e do seu filho a curto e longo prazo. No entanto, uma grande parte das mulheres não procura estes cuidados por falta de conhecimento, divulgação dos mesmos pelos profissionais de saúde e falta de planeamento da sua gravidez. Este artigo visou compreender qual a importância da promoção dos cuidados pré-concecionais na otimização da saúde das mulheres em idade fértil. Através de uma revisão narrativa da literatura e com recurso à metodologia PI(C)O, da qual resultou a questão de investigação “Qual a importância da promoção dos cuidados pré-concecionais na saúde das mulheres em idade fértil?”, foi realizada pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed e EBSCOhost e selecionados oito artigos para análise. Os artigos evidenciaram o período pré-concecional como uma janela de oportunidade para envolver ativamente as mulheres na otimização da sua saúde através da adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis tendo como resultado a promoção da sua saúde e a da sua descendência. Ainda referiram que a baixa conscientização da importância e benefícios de recorrer aos cuidados pré-concecionais e a falta de divulgação dos mesmos pelos profissionais de saúde, torna premente a sua promoção.
