Figurative and Semantic Dominants of the Story “Scarlet Herbs” by Zeitun Tolgurov
Authors: Kazharova Inna A.
Published: December 2020

Thematic multidimensionality of “Scarlet Herbs” by Z. Tolgurov actualizes the
interaction of figurative dominants; the story’s philosophical and aesthetic structure
is developed at their intersection. Two significant aspects of the story’s fictional world
are reflected in its title: “scarlet herbs” — a plant and color. This article explores the
components of these two interrelated dominants that correlate with a wider framework
that makes their interpretation possible — nature and color. I analyze the first of the
two in comparison with the interconnected images of the clearing, spring, pine, and
birch while juxtaposing the second one with other colors, green, black and white. The
limited number of colors used by the author allows him to enhance semantic accents of
the story and help the reader not only to see the metaphysical dimension of the story’s
realistic conflict but also not to lose sight of the realistic authenticity hidden in the wide
associativity of myth and folklore.
Folklore Archive and Historical Reality (Based on the Archive Materials of the Institute of Language, Literature and History, Karelian Research Centre RAS)
Authors: Kuznetsova Valentina P. , Markovskaya Elena V.
Published: December 2020

The paper discusses the content of one of the largest folklore archives in Russia
belonging to the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Karelian Scientific
Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Systematic work of collecting folklore,
carried out for more than 100 years, contributed to the creation of archives reflecting
the historical events of an entire era. In the 1930s a new historical period began,
giving life to the new forms of epic art — the so-called “novinas,” held in the Archive.
During the Great World War, prisoners of the Finnish concentration camps created
the so-called pieces of camp folklore, reviving the genre of lamentation. In the postwar period, researches were urged to deal with “Soviet” folklore, and not with the
“frozen” forms of folk art. The archival materials collected among the representatives
of deported people — Ingrian Finns — bear witness of the historical time. In the second
half of the 20th century ideological pressure in the folkloristic studies continued, as
superstitions and prejudices were sought to be eradicated, and the collection of folklore
reflecting folk religious beliefs was not welcomed.
Paving the Road to the Historical Novel: “Les Histoires Secrètes” in France at the Turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries
Authors: Golubkov Andrey V.
Published: December 2020

This article examines the genre of “secret history” which gained widespread currency
in France after the publication of the book Anecdotes of Florence: or, A Secret History
of the House of Medici (1685) by Antoine de Varillas. The preface to the book gives an
overview of the theory of the genre that welcomes representation of hidden, sometimes
“dishonorable” or “insignificant” premises of important events, usually ignored
by official historiographers who tend to focus on the façade of their protagonist’s
life. Authors of such “secret” stories are advised to use gossips obtained from the
“royal” circles and find their way into the studies and bedrooms hidden from the eyes
of the others. The article shows the impact that elements of Varillas’s poetic style
(ethnographic flair, the topoi of bedroom and “cabinet,” focus on the human body etc.)
had on the texts of “secret” memoirs and notes by François-Paulin Dalairac, Esaias von
Pufendorf, Madeleine-Angélique de Gomez, and others. A more detailed interpretation
demonstrates how historical narrative degraded into fictional prose and in many
respects anticipated — together with other sources analyzed in the article — a formula
of the historical novel a la Walter Scott.
Non-atrial fibrillation cardiac phenotypes associated with common atrial fibrillation genotypic risk
Authors: Kapur Sunil , Beik Samantha , Gillon Leah , MacRae Calum
Published: December 2020

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) genetics studies have focused on a
linear genotype- phenotype relationship, i.e. genetic predisposition to
the arrhythmia. Genome wide association studies have implicated numerous
upstream mechanisms responsible for AF. Objective: We hypothesized that
the genetic predisposing factors for AF might be associated with non-AF
clinical phenotypes and sought to characterize electrophysiology
parameters as a function of AF genetic risk. Methods:. Biosamples were
obtained from 405 subjects for classification of carrier status at 12
single nucleotide polymorphisms with a known association to AF allowing
calculation of a validated AF genetic risk score. We then analyzed
subgroups within the total population; in order to understand the effect
on (a) sinus node function and cardiac conduction (b) primary atrial
flutter (c) left atrial appendage morphology. Results: We evaluated 405
patients consisting of a range of genetic risk scores from −1.016 to
+2.178. Within this, we identified 86 patients without prescribed
chronotropic pharmacotherapy with a 24-hour Holter recording to
investigate sinus node function; 181 patients with invasive H-V
measurement at the time of electrophysiologic study to investigate
cardiac conduction; 78 undergoing cavotricuspid isthmus ablation for
typical atrial flutter without prior diagnosis of AF; and 284 patients
with cardiac imaging of the left atrial appendage. Conclusions: A common
AF genetic risk score is associated with a number of non-AF
electrophysiologic relevant phenotypes. Sinus node function, AV node
physiology, post flutter ablation AF risk, atrial appendage morphology
all appear to be associated with the common genetic AF risk.
High-flow nasal cannula for respiratory evaluation of surfactant protein C dysfunction
Authors: Nogami Masao , Wada Soichiro , Sai Shuji , Nakashima Taiji , Onda Tetuo , Cho K.
Published: December 2020

Surfactant protein C gene (SFTPC) variations may cause hereditary
interstitial lung disease (HILD), a disease with variable prognosis. The
evaluation of treatment responsiveness of HILD with SFTPC variation
remains unclear. We present the case of a child with HILD whose
respiratory condition was appropriately evaluated using a high-flow
nasal cannula (HFNC). A 12-month-old boy with SFTPC variation developed
progressive respiratory failure. Although he was once considered a
candidate for lung transplantation, his respiratory condition was
improved by hydroxychloroquine treatment, which prevented further
therapy. Compared to a conventional nasal cannula, which could not
deliver a stable oxygen concentration, HFNC allowed us to evaluate the
improvement of oxygenation more accurately.
Chen’s improved inequality for pointwise hemi-slant warped products in Kaehler manifolds
Authors: Naghi Monia , Stankovic Mica , Alghamdi Fatimah
Published: December 2020

Recently, B.-Y. Chen discovered a technique to find the relation between
second fundamental form and the warping function of warped product
submanifolds. In this paper, we extend our further study of [24] by giving
non-trivial examples of warped product pointwise hemi-slant submanifolds.
Finally, we establish a sharp estimation for the squared norm of the second
fundamental form ||h||2 in terms of the warping function f. The equality case
is also investigated.

Low-grade persistent inflammation is a feature of diabetes-driven vascular complications, in particular activation of the Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to trigger the maturation and release of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β). We investigated whether inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome, through the use of the specific small-molecule NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950, could reduce inflammation, improve vascular function, and protect against diabetes-associated atherosclerosis in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic apolipoprotein E-knockout mouse. Diabetes led to an approximately fourfold increase in atherosclerotic lesions throughout the aorta, which were significantly attenuated with MCC950 (P < 0.001). This reduction in lesions was associated with decreased monocyte–macrophage content, reduced necrotic core, attenuated inflammatory gene expression (IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, intracellular adhesion molecule 1, and MCP-1; P < 0.05), and reduced oxidative stress, while maintaining fibrous cap thickness. Additionally, vascular function was improved in diabetic vessels of mice treated with MCC950 (P < 0.05). In a range of cell lines (murine bone marrow–derived macrophages, human monocytic THP-1 cells, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate–differentiated human macrophages, and aortic smooth muscle cells from humans with diabetes), MCC950 significantly reduced IL-1β and/or caspase-1 secretion and attenuated leukocyte–smooth muscle cell interactions under high glucose or lipopolysaccharide conditions. In summary, MCC950 reduces plaque development, promotes plaque stability, and improves vascular function, suggesting that targeting NLRP3-mediated inflammation is a novel therapeutic strategy to improve diabetes-associated vascular disease.
Deficiency of Stat1 in CD11c+ Cells Alters Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Improves Metabolic Dysfunctions in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

Published: December 2020

CD11c+ macrophages/dendritic cells (MDCs) are increased and display the classically activated M1-like phenotype in obese adipose tissue (AT) and may contribute to AT inflammation and insulin resistance. Stat1 is a key transcription factor for MDC polarization into the M1-like phenotype. Here, we examined the role of Stat1 in obesity-induced AT MDC polarization and inflammation and insulin resistance using mice with specific knockout of Stat1 in MDCs (cKO). Stat1 was upregulated and phosphorylated, indicating activation, early and persistently in AT and AT MDCs of wild-type mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Compared with littermate controls, cKO mice fed an HFD (16 weeks) had reductions in MDC (mainly CD11c+ macrophage) M1-like polarization and interferon-γ–expressing T-helper type 1 (Th1) cells but increases in interleukin 5–expressing Th2 cells and eosinophils in perigonadal and inguinal AT, and enhanced inguinal AT browning, with increased energy expenditure. cKO mice compared with controls also had significant reductions in triglyceride content in the liver and skeletal muscle and exhibited improved insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Taken together, our results demonstrate that Stat1 in MDCs plays an important role in obesity-induced MDC M1-like polarization and AT inflammation and contributes to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunctions in obese mice.
Association Between Achieving Inpatient Glycemic Control and Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19: A Multicenter, Retrospective Hospital-Based Analysis
Authors: Klonoff David C. , Messler Jordan C. , Umpierrez Guillermo E. , Peng Limin , Booth Robby , Crowe Jennifer , Garrett Valerie , McFarland Raymie , Pasquel Francisco J.
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes and hyperglycemia are important risk factors for poor outcomes in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We hypothesized that achieving glycemic control soon after admission, in both intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU settings, could affect outcomes in patients with COVID-19.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We analyzed pooled data from the Glytec national database including 1,544 patients with COVID-19 from 91 hospitals in 12 states. Patients were stratified according to achieved mean glucose category in mg/dL (≤7.77, 7.83–10, 10.1–13.88, and >13.88 mmol/L; ≤140, 141–180, 181–250, and >250 mg/dL) during days 2–3 in non-ICU patients or on day 2 in ICU patients. We conducted a survival analysis to determine the association between glucose category and hospital mortality.

RESULTS

Overall, 18.1% (279/1,544) of patients died in the hospital. In non-ICU patients, severe hyperglycemia (blood glucose [BG] >13.88 mmol/L [250 mg/dL]) on days 2–3 was independently associated with high mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 7.17; 95% CI 2.62–19.62) compared with patients with BG <7.77 mmol/L (140 mg/dL). This relationship was not significant for admission glucose (HR 1.465; 95% CI 0.683–3.143). In patients admitted directly to the ICU, severe hyperglycemia on admission was associated with increased mortality (adjusted HR 3.14; 95% CI 1.44–6.88). This relationship was not significant on day 2 (HR 1.40; 95% CI 0.53–3.69). Hypoglycemia (BG <70 mg/dL) was also associated with increased mortality (odds ratio 2.2; 95% CI 1.35–3.60).

CONCLUSIONS

Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were associated with poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Admission glucose was a strong predictor of death among patients directly admitted to the ICU. Severe hyperglycemia after admission was a strong predictor of death among non-ICU patients.
Comparative analysis of early medieval anthropomorphic wooden figurines from Poland. Representations of gods, deceased or ritual objects?
Authors: Szczepanik Paweł
Published: December 2020

Miniature anthropomorphic images, due to their unique character, have attracted the attention of archaeologists for a very long time. This text analyses the forms, significance and functions of items coming from the early Middle Ages, which were discovered in the area of Poland. The set of wooden objects is diverse in terms of form and probably also in terms of meaning. The biggest number of artefacts come from Pomerania, but some of them were found in other places. The Baltic Sea basin will be used as a broad comparative background during this analysis. Information from written sources and from broad anthropological reflection will also be used in an attempt to determine the functions and meanings of these miniature figurines. Thanks to this analysis, it will be possible to show the importance of anthropomorphic figures in the context of early medieval religion and beliefs.
The Early Medieval barrows with kerbstones at the Leśnictwo Postołowo Site 11 in the Białowieża Forest (Szczekotowo range)
Authors: Olczak Hanna , Krasnodębski Dariusz , Szlązak Roman , Wawrzeniuk Joanna
Published: December 2020

In the western part of the Białowieża Forest, on the grounds of the Szczekotowo Range, one can find one of the largest and most interesting Early Medieval sepulchral complexes in the Middle Bug River basin. One part of it is the cemetery at Leśnictwo Postołowo Site 11, which includes five burial mounds surrounded by settings of kerbstones. In a barrow, which was excavated in 2017, an inhumation burial of a woman dating back to the 12th century and equipped with a necklace of glass beads was discovered. This site is another excavated cemetery from the Białowieża Forest area, where – in contrast to other regions of the Upper Narew and Middle Bug River basins – the barrow was the most common type of grave in the younger phase of the Early Middle Ages. This article presents various aspects of the investigated burial, which undoubtedly casts new light on our knowledge about the Mazovian-Rus’ cultural borderland during the period of state formation.
Złota culture grave from Kleczanów, Sandomierz district, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship
Authors: Bajka Monika , Florek Marek
Published: December 2020

In 2014, a niche grave linked with the Złota culture was accidentally discovered in Kleczanów (Sandomierz district, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship). An approximately 25-year-old man was inhumed inside. He was crippled: one of his legs was shorter as a result of an improperly healed fracture. His body was subjected to magical rituals. For example, his skull was separated from the rest of the body and placed in a stone-lined cache. The grave inventory was composed of at least three vessels (a mug with a handle and two amphorae), two bone plaques (belt elements), a bone awl, and a flint arrowhead, as well as animal bones (a pig mandible, limb bones of the following animals: roe deer, medium-sized bird, and sheep or goat). A 14C date obtained from a bone fragment allows us to date the grave to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC.
Textile impressions on Trypillia culture pottery from Ogród and Verteba Cave sites in Bilcze Złote
Authors: Skrzyniecka Weronika
Published: December 2020

Due to the limited number of materials associated with textile production from the Neolithic and Eneolithic, especially in regard to Eastern Europe, its indirect remains present an important and valuable source of information. One of the materials that testifies to textile production is pottery with textile impressions. The aim of this article is to present and discuss the results of microscopic analyses of textile impressions, identified on selected sherds of ceramic vessels from the Trypillia culture sites in Bilcze Złote, Ukraine. During the research, three basic categories of textile-related products were identified: pottery with intentional cord imprints, impressions of various types of non-woven textiles, as well as woven fabrics of varying thickness and density. This article also highlights the issue of using textiles in the technological process of pottery manufacturing. Microscopic analysis of textile impressions opens up new research possibilities in the recognition and reconstruction of the weaves and twists of particular types of fibres, and provides a solid foundation for comparative studies.
Journeys of the mind: cognitive landscapes, symbolic dialects, and networked identities in the European Neolithic
Authors: Hudson Kathryn M. , Kruk Janusz , Milisauskas Sarunas
Published: December 2020

Although the notion that the past was populated by cultural spheres containing relatively homogenous populations is pervasive, nuanced considerations of intra-culture variability allow for the recognition of local or regional identities that were simultaneously connected to but distinct from an overarching cultural sphere. This requires the identification of multiple interrelated cultural constituents and the recognition of a kind of cultural layering in which the identity or identities salient for members of a particular group are conceptualized as consisting of variably articulating categories that interact with and depend upon each other. Our approach to cultural variability and identity construction is based on this view and posits that cultural spheres studied in archaeological contexts can be divided into distinct but related cultural subgroups or dialects based on variations in material cultural data and studied independently or comparatively.
A phenomenology of intra-play for sustainability research within heritage landscapes
Authors: Richards Benjamin , Haukeland Per Ingvar
Published: December 2020

In this article, we explore a phenomenology of intra-play for sustainability research, integral to the processes of transforming both cultural and natural heritage landscapes. Such processes are studied as active - always underway and in flux - across space and time, and through the intra-play between the human and more-than-human world. The authors have developed the exploration of intra-play within the fields of phenomenology and heritage studies with empirical examples of the processes of becoming, especially in experiential landscapes of post-industrial heritage sites. The article presents a phenomenology of intra-play as a haptic and ontogenetic philosophy of landscape studies, inspired by the anthropologist Tim Ingold, and a process methodology, inspired in part by the art of what Rita Irwin calls “a/r/tography”. Our approach animates the different forms, both human and non-human, that co-form heritage landscapes. The article traces these playful ways and discusses possible consequences for sustainability research and change within heritage landscapes.

Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Missingham Roxanne
Published: December 2020

Research libraries have provided a key to unlocking the knowledge of the centuries. The nature of their stewardship of knowledge has led to a focus on understanding the value and sustainability in terms of collections. The extraordinarily rich collections have made a great contribution to education and to the communities they serve. A new theory of change which underpins the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) highlights the contribution that activities can make to improve national and international economic, social, community and governmental health. This article analyses the nature of major research library activities in light of the SDGs methodology. Taking this broad framework to the work of International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU) libraries provides new insights into the value and broader contribution of those libraries. The indicators assessed in the framework specifically relate to the outcomes of education and information within the societies they service. The case study suggests that the libraries make a significant and deep contribution both to the current national environments as well as in creating a framework for future returns on the investment to their universities.
The Use of Social Media Instagram to Disseminate Sustainable Information
Authors: Geraldo Genilson , Pinto Marli Dias de Souza
Published: December 2020

Sustainable development does not depend only on changing the attitude of companies and government programs and projects, but it is essential that society is also sensitized and mobilized. Information sustainability is not a recent discussion, but it has been intensified in recent years and has become a focal point for scientific discussion. With technological advances, especially in the informational sphere, it is necessary that institutions that deal with information are in tune with their users in different environments. In this context, the use of social media by libraries is essential to relate to their audiences, who are increasingly immersed in digital culture. Currently, Instagram has more than 500 million users worldwide, making it a great informational and virtual engagement tool for library users. In this perspective, the profile @sustentabilidadeinformacional is presented in this study as a model for libraries to be more engaged with global objectives, according to actions developed and promoted by associative movements and library associations.
Evaluación del Apantallamiento electromagnético del concreto
Authors: Granados Camilo , Rojas Herbert , Santamaria Francisco
Published: December 2020

Este artículo analiza la efectividad de apantallamiento electromagnético de varias estructuras de concreto en función de la variación del grosor y el contenido o nivel de humedad (NH), para un rango de frecuencias definido. El estudio se fundamenta en la implementación de simulaciones en dos dimensiones (2D) usando un software basado en el método de elementos finitos (FEM) y se desarrolló a partir de un conjunto de valores obtenidos de la aplicación de modelos matemáticos para medios dieléctricos. Inicialmente, se caracterizan las propiedades eléctricas complejas (permitividad dieléctrica y conductividad) de las estructuras aplicando el modelo matemático de Jonscher de tres variables. Posteriormente, se evalúan dichas propiedades en un rango de frecuencias determinado. Como resultado, se observa que el blindaje electromagnético ofrecido por el concreto aumenta cuando se incrementa el NH y el grosor de las estructuras. Adicionalmente, las pruebas evidencian que las pérdidas de energía por absorción son mayores en comparación con los demás tipos de pérdidas analizadas en el estudio.
Modelo de asignación de demanda de pasajeros en un sistema de buses de transito rápido considerando la congestión del sistema y la percepción de comodidad del pasajero
Authors: Guancha Diego Armando Galindres , Soto Mejía Jose Adalberto
Published: December 2020

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) son Sistemas de Transporte Público que han ganado popularidad en el mundo. La complejidad de este tipo de sistemas, han hecho que sea necesario configurar estrategias basadas en modelos de optimización para la generación de frecuencias de despacho, tablas horarias, y modelos de control de flota en tiempo real. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los trabajos en donde se prueban los modelos desarrollados, no consideran cómo se distribuye la demanda en las rutas disponibles. En este trabajo se muestra el impacto generado en el perfil de carga de los buses, y el tiempo de espera promedio para cada ruta durante la operación, cuando varía el criterio con el cual los pasajeros escogen la ruta. En un primer escenario: Los pasajeros utilizan el servicio, teniendo sólo el objetivo de escoger la ruta que más rápido los lleve a su destino. En un segundo escenario, los pasajeros hacen una evaluación previa antes de abordar un bus factible para ellos. Esta evaluación consiste en tener en cuenta dos criterios: la comodidad dentro del bus y el tiempo que debe esperar para que llegue el siguiente bus.

Chlorpyrifos is a commonly used pesticide that belong to the organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) group. Chlorpyrifos is widely used in residential environments and agriculture for pest control. As many OPPs, Chlorpyrifos degrades faster to more complex and toxic compounds under natural conditions, thus diverse effects of these compounds over aquatic species are unknown. Due to the risk that pesticides as Chlorpyrifos, which mainly breaks down to 3,5,6- trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) on the ecosystems, there is an increasing need to intensify the environmental monitoring and ecotoxicological risk assessment for both substances. Risk assessment provides a systematic approach for characterizing the nature and magnitude of the risks associated with environmental health hazards. However, in countries like Colombia, where the use of Chlorpyrifos is widespread, the number of investigations on the dynamics and risk involved in the presence of this class of substances in water bodies is limited.

This work presents the process of fabrication and characterization of cobalt-doped titanium dioxide thin films on soda-lime glass substrates useful in spintronic applications. The samples were fabricated via the DC Sputtering technique, under the magnetron configuration. The samples were submitted of annealing at atmospheric pressure, after deposit process. Annealing process affect the structural properties of thin films, evidencing the formation of the Co3O4 with spinel structure. XPS measurements corroborated the presence of cobalt oxide species with a spinel-like arrangement. Morphological characterization showed an overall granular nature of the fabricated samples, which varied depending on the deposition time and annealing process. PPMS measurements revealed a ferromagnetic behavior of the thin films at room temperature.

La contaminación atmosférica por Material Particulado (PM) es un problema claramente reconocido a nivel mundial como uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes para la salud humana, en los últimos años han surgido diferentes modelos basados en inteligencia artificial para predecir la concentración de PM, con el fin de generar sistemas de alerta temprana que eviten la exposición de las personas. En este trabajo, se analizó un esquema de caracterización en el dominio tiempo-frecuencia usando la transformada Wavelet para la predicción de series temporales de PM10 y PM2.5 usando un algoritmo de Regresión por Vectores de Soporte optimizado por Enjambre de Partículas (SVR-PSO), además, se evaluó el efecto de la imputación de datos sobre las estimaciones. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que, empleando características temporales, más las características tiempo-frecuencia propuestas, se obtiene el mejor desempeño de la SVR-PSO, además se encontró que el uso de la imputación de datos no afecta el desempeño de la SVR-PSO. El sistema propuesto en este trabajo permite disminuir el error de las estimaciones de concentración de PM10 y PM2.5 haciendo uso de características tiempo-frecuencia y es capaz de operar de forma robusta contra datos perdidos, aumentando su viabilidad de ser implementado en escenarios reales.
Persaksian Talak: Perspektif Ulama Sunni dan Syi'ah Imamiyah
Authors: Trigiyatno Ali
Published: December 2020

In general, Islamic scholars have the same spirit in addressing the occurrence of divorce, namely the desire to make divorce difficult. However, on the other hand, there appears to be an inconsistency in this matter, where when reading fiqh books in a Sunni environment it seems that they facilitate divorce. As in the case of divorce testimony, Sunni ulama legalize the fall of divorce without witnesses, while among Shia clerics, they make divorce more difficult by requiring two fair witnesses to the legality of a divorce. This article aims to compare the two different views of Sunni and Shia scholars regarding divorce testimony in order to determine a stronger and more beneficial opinion. The result of the research proves that the arguments of the Shia ulama which oblige two witnesses to validate divorce are stronger and more beneficial. This opinion also makes it more difficult for the possibility of divorce to fall, and in its development, it is used in the legislation of Muslim countries by requiring divorce in front of a court session where at least two witnesses are certain to witness.

This study aimed to determine the contribution of Kepahiang Regional Children's Forum (FADEK) program in an effort to protect children's rights in that region. This study used a qualitative approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews and documentation. After the data were collected, they were further analyzed using Miles, Haberman, and Saldanaâ€™s model comprising the selection of data, presentation of data and drawing conclusions. This study found the conclusion that the establishment of this forum departed from Kepahiang youthâ€™s concerns on the lack of parental care for children's rights, so this forum had the main mission to minimize the cases children experienced from both their surrounding people and other people. The contributions of this forum were: For the government, this forum made Kepahiang a city worthy of children by the Minister of Child and Women's Protection (PPA) in 2019. For the forum members, this forum trained them to become pioneers in struggling for their rights and peersâ€™. For children, this forum provided assistance to children who were coping with the acts violating both customary law and the law on other criminal acts.

Published: December 2020

The article presents the study results of the inter-population variability of morphometric features of grass carp in the natural reservoirs of southern Kazakhstan (the Ili Delta and the Kapshagai Reservoir) and in the Kapshagai spawning and breeding farm. In the compared populations of herbivorous fish there has been found the variability in meristic characteristics to varying degrees, as well as the proportions of individual body parts. The increased value of inter-population variability may indicate the high plasticity of morphological features of grass carp and the significant adaptive capabilities of the compared populations. The valid differences in grass carp samples marked by a group of morphological features (plastic and meristic) and taken of fish from the hatchery and natural reservoirs of the Balkhash-Ili basin indicate the existence of species produced by artificial reproduction and by natural spawning in the natural reservoirs.
SUBSTANTIATION OF SCALES OF ACOUSTIC VALUES SIMILARITY IN RECIRCULATION AQUATIC SYSTEMS FOR GROWING HYDROBIONTS

Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to studying the problems of physical modeling of acoustic and hydroacoustic waves, which are reflected from hydrobionts in recirculation aquatic systems (RAS), as well as open aquaculture cages (OAC). The behavior of aquatic organisms in RAS and OAC is so complex that it is difficult to be described mathematically because it is necessary to determine the temporal and spatial parameters of hydrobionts and to provide favourable conditions for aquatic organisms in RAS and OAC close to the natural habitat, including the acoustic regime. The use of simulation and physical modeling for calculating the acoustic quantities will make it possible to use machine vision to and optimize technological processes, to increase the productivity of the ultrasonic and ultrasonic treatment pools, to raise productivity and to reduce costs. The aim of acoustic quantities similarity in RAS and OAC is to determine the parameters of sound sources, the reflecting ability of hydrobionts with different characteristics (length, volume, density and others). In the problems of acoustic quantities it is required to ensure the coincidence of mechanical and acoustic processes. It is necessary to reduce the quantities dependent on the dimensional attributes of the object (length of a sound wave, sound power, sound energy, sound intensity, speed of sound, frequency, etc.) to their independent dimensionless form. When studying the behavior of aquatic organisms in RAS and OAC it is important to take into account mechanical, hydrodynamic, electrodynamic, optical and light similarities. There have been proposed the additional similarity scales for acoustic values, the methods for their calculation and the graphs of their dependence on the geometric scale Cl. Knowing the scale of Cl, it is possible to determine the scale effect

The article outlines the study of approaches to project management: classical or traditional project management and flexible project management methods. Agile project management is analyzed using the Scrum methodology, which is a variety of Agile approach. The main stages of the above approaches are presented, their features, scope and advantages are revealed. The features of team management in traditional and flexible projects are considered. There has been developed an algorithm for choosing and actualizing a project management approach, which reflects the essence of flexible and traditional project management. At the present stage of development, the external environment is characterized by high variability, so the flexible project management becomes a factor in the competitiveness of the organization. There have been analyzed the competencies of the project manager and team members, which are necessary for efficiency of Agile methodology. It has been defined that the members of the project team must have flexible competencies. Flexible competencies are understood as a set of knowledge, abilities, skills, personal characteristics, motivational and value aspects that contribute to the effective operation of the employee within the flexible project team. The flexible competencies of the team members are: creativity, adaptability, ability to self-government and self-organization, openness to new things, learnability, self-criticism, involvement, tolerance to other positions, broad specialization and versatility, trust and openness, stress resistance, communication skills, etc. The requirements for the head of a flexible project are: T-Shaped competence type (the expert level in one's professional field and the extensive knowledge in the related fields), temporary competence, emotional intelligence, leadership qualities and developed communication skills
