This study explores the application and concept of the Theory of Five colours in ancient Chinese urban architectural design. Nowadays, urban colour has emerged as a crucial aspect of urban planning, carrying significant historical, cultural, and aesthetic information in the evolution of cities. Colour plays a symbolic role in expressing the character and quality of cities, with its impact evident in various aspects of human habitation and daily life. The conceptual analysis via on-site observation and secondary data delves into the historical shifts in architectural colour schemes for various periods, including the Warring States, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Wei-Jin Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. Through an analysis of the evolution of architectural colour across different historical eras, the finding reveals that the use of colour in ancient Chinese urban architecture was rooted in the traditional Theory of Five colours. Notably, red and yellow predominantly adorned noble, imperial, and religious structures, underscoring their esteemed and sacred significance. Conversely, colours like black, white, and green were prevalent in civilian constructions, emphasising the vibrancy and diversity of primary buildings through extensive use of neutral colours. This practice of colour differentiation contributed to distinctive regional variations within cities, reflecting a hierarchical architectural concept. However, with the passage of time and the disappearance of the hierarchical system, the application of colour in urban architecture became more flexible. Modern urban architecture, based on the foundation of ancient urban colour, exhibits diverse expressions according to factors such as cultural history, geographical location, and urban characteristics. As a result, the architectural landscapes of different cities display rich and varied colour palettes. These research findings will contribute as a significant reference value for the cultural connotations of ancient urban architecture and the colour design of modern urban spaces in China.

The Intertextual Memory of the Lyric
Authors: Gjorgjieva-Dimova Marija ,   Sts. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje
Published: August 2024

Starting from the theoretical premises of intertextuality and its mnemonic implications in relation to literature (Yu.M. Lotman, R. Lachman, D. Oraikj-Tolikj) the text aims to interpretatively illustrate those concepts through the interpretation of three poems from Macedonian poetry: Rakuvanje by Blaže Koneski, Nocno poznanstvo by Gane Todorovski and Smrtta na poetot by Vlada Urosevic, which are intertextually placed towards the life and work of Koco Racin, Macedonian author and revolutioner (1908–1943). The interpretive focus is placed on the intertextual relations and procedures in the poems, as well as their metatextual functions on a meta-lyrical level.

The study uses an associative quantitative approach method which aims to determine the influence of exports and imports on economic growth both partially, and simultaneously, This research was carried out using several analyses and multiple regression tests, including the Classical Assumption Test and the Hypothesis Test to see the influence between variables. This study uses secondary data regarding related variables sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results of this study show that partially exports have a positive and significant. This result also explains that the higher the export, the more economic growth will increase, but on the contrary, if imports increase, economic growth will decrease. The benefits of global economic openness can be seen from the condition of a country's economic balance. Participation in import export activities will bring great benefits to the countries involved. In future research, it is important to dig deeper into how certain factors in exports and imports can have different impacts on economic growth.
A methodological approach to complex territorial development based on agglomeration effects: “Smart” specialization perspective
Authors: Gamidullaeva Leyla , Roslyakova Natalia
Published: August 2024

Regional differentiation in the Russian Federation is considered to be high in terms of gross regional product (GRP) per capita level, growth rate, and other indicators. Inefficient use of region-specific spaces entails redistribution processes in order to maximize positive agglomeration effects throughout the country. These encompass economic restructuring based on production value-added chain extension and expanding inter-regional collaborative linkages. Besides, it is vital to assess the opportunities of individual Russian territories for participation therein. The research goal is to develop a scientifically based methodology to determine promising sectoral composition of the regional economies and that of spatial interactions. Such methodology would consider the feasibility of combining “smart” industrial specializations, regional resource potential, prevailing contradictions in the economic, innovative, and technological development of the country’s internal space. The proposed methodological approach opens the way to exploit the existing regional economic potential to the full, firstly, via establishing sectoral priorities of the region regarding the regulatory factors for the territorial capital to have a major effect on the increased potential GRP level; secondly, through benchmarking performance of the available development reserves within leading regions from homogeneous groups having similar characteristics and factor potentials; thirdly, via developing inter-regional integration prospects in terms of regional potential redistribution to ensure growth in potential gross domestic product. An extensive analytical and applied investigation of the proposed methodological approach was carried out from 2014 to 2020. Diversified estimates were obtained for a wide range of indicators due to evidences from 85 Russian regions and 13 types of economic activity. Such an integrated approach allows revealing actual imbalances and barriers that impede regional development, ensures the efficient use of production factors, and enables to trace ways to implement transformation policies and design effective regulatory mechanisms. The results provide arguments in favor of strengthening inter-regional connectivity and supporting inter-regional cooperation. This insight not only contributes to the academic discourse on complex development of a territory but also holds practical implications for policymakers and regional planners aimed at ensuring comprehensiveness and robustness of the evaluation supporting the decision-making process.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis and strategic framework for enhancing social welfare in Kazakhstan through the adoption of international social security standards. This article aims to formulate scientific and practical recommendations for enhancing the legal framework governing Kazakhstan’s social security system. It posits that integrating international social protection standards is pivotal for refining national legislation and charting future developmental courses. Employing a novel methodology, this study analyzes key documents from the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). It also examines efforts to assimilate these international norms into Kazakhstan’s social security laws. The investigation reveals a stagnation in the evolution of the nation’s social sector, marked by a dearth of innovative ideas and initiatives to elevate the subpar social security standards. The adoption of international social standards emerges as a catalyst for rejuvenating the national social sphere, aiming to elevate the Kazakhstani social protection system to meet global benchmarks. This research outlines the pathways for Kazakhstan’s ratification of and accession to key social protection instruments and offers expert recommendations to support this endeavor. The conclusions and recommendations developed are poised for application in legislative reforms, aiming to amend and enhance existing laws to foster a more robust and inclusive social security framework. The findings suggest that the adoption of international social security standards not only contributes to the improvement of individual lives but also fosters social cohesion and economic stability. The article concludes with tailored recommendations for Kazakhstan, highlighting the role of stakeholder engagement, phased implementation, and continuous evaluation in the successful integration of global social security norms. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on social security reform, offering a valuable perspective for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners involved in social welfare enhancement efforts in Kazakhstan and similar contexts.

Published: August 2024

Objectives:

Extraction of premolars and archwire loading during orthodontic treatment is associated with postoperative pain that affects the patient’s quality of life and acceptability for the treatment. Prompt management of post-operative pain can improve patient’s compliance and confidence in the dental profession.

Material and Methods:

The present split-mouth double-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients undergoing bilateral maxillary first premolar extraction followed by archwire placement for orthodontic treatment. Patients were administered either of the two drugs, tramadol or piroxicam, and their pain levels were recorded by visual analog scale at 2-hours (h), 4-h, and 6-h intervals. The same protocol was repeated for extraction of the contralateral premolar 1 week later, and the patients were provided with the other drug not received during the first extraction, followed by an assessment of the pain levels.

Results:

The pain levels were significantly higher (P < 0.01) at 2 h in the patients taking piroxicam as compared to 4-h and 6-h intervals. There was a significant rise in pain at the 4- and 6-h intervals compared to the 2-h interval following the administration of tramadol. The pain levels were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in the piroxicam group at the 2-h and 4-h intervals as compared to patients in the tramadol group. On the contrary, when considering the pain levels at the 6-h intervals, the pain levels were found to be significantly lower for patients administered with piroxicam.

Conclusion:

The use of piroxicam for the management of pain following the extraction and archwire placement during orthodontic treatment is more beneficial than the use of tramadol due to the sustenance of its effect over a prolonged duration of time.

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common helminthic infection of the human central nervous system, and it’s the leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. The clinical manifestations vary depending on the location, cyst stage, and host immune response. Seizure is the most common clinical presentation, but many patients present with focal deficits, intracranial hypertension, or cognitive decline. Neuroimaging is the mainstay of diagnosis. Cysticidal treatment, along with steroids, has shown increased and faster resolution of lesions. Seizure responds well to a single antiepileptic drug, and its recurrence rate is low with single lesions. Multiple and calcified lesions have recurrent seizures and require AED for a longer duration. Aeromedical concerns of the disease include the occurrence of any neurologic or cognitive symptoms and signs, and AED can have a CNS depressant effect. An in-flight seizure can cause unsustainable aircraft attitude, accidentally altering controls or engaging weapon systems and compromising flight safety. A 33 year old fighter aircrew of IAF with a flying experience of approximately 950 hours had an episode of generalized tonic clonic seizure. His MRI Brain revealed a ring-enhancing lesion in the left inferior temporal gyrus (<20mm) and was diagnosed as a case of Neurocysticercosis (Parenchymal NCC). He was managed conservatively with cysticidal therapy along with steroids and AED. During his follow up after six months, his CECT Brain revealed no residual lesions, and he was advised to stop AED. He has been observed adequately in the non-flying medical category for a period exceeding one year post stoppage of AEDs without seizure recurrence. Now, he was upgraded to the restricted flying category for another one year of observation before considering him for awarding the full flying category. The aeromedical concern in a case of Neurocysticercosis with seizure is a risk of sudden in-flight incapacitation due to seizure. In military/civil flying, the aircrew can be considered for unrestricted flying category for transport and helicopters. In this case, the aircrew had only a single episode of seizure, which was his presenting symptom, and had complete resolution of the brain lesion. However, after careful deliberation and consideration of all aeromedical concerns the decision was taken to reflight the aircrew in fighter flying with restriction.

Dwelling in the microgravity environment of space results in various physiological adaptations, namely, cardiovascular deconditioning, neurovestibular changes, loss of bone, and muscle mass. These changes affect the physiological functioning of the human body on return to Earth. Hence, post-flight reconditioning programs are implemented by the International Space Agencies with the aim of returning the Astronauts to their pre-flight physical condition. This paper deals with the post-flight rehabilitation of an Astronaut, which was conducted by a foreign Astronaut Training Center, after his long duration mission of 6 months on board International Space Station. The rehabilitation program consisted of Post-flight Medical Evaluation and Post-flight Physical Reconditioning. With the advent of the Human Spaceflight Program, the lessons learned in this rehabilitation program would be helpful in formulating post-flight rehabilitation protocol for Indian Astronauts during India’s maiden Human Spaceflight mission as well as serve as a template for future exploration missions.

Individual projects. Haven't we missed the birth of a new genre?
Authors: Амрахова А.А.
Published: August 2024

Традиционно сущностные признаки индивидуальных проектов (ИП) определяются апофатическим путем. Автор данной статьи отрицание какой-либо их связи с известными жанрами и формами осмысляет в качестве родового свойства. Показывается, как особенности ИП формируются на пересечении двух плоскостей — жанровости и программности. Возможность трактовки ИП как жанра доказывается некоторыми положениями теории референции, прототипической семантики и когнитивной лингвистики. Выводы, к которым приходит автор: стабильными признаками в ИП следует считать отсутствие тематизма, отсутствие ориентации на классические жанры и типовую музыкальную форму. Референциальная отсылка производится не к миру, а к когнитивным моделям. Этих стабильных признаков достаточно, чтобы отнести ИП к новому классу жанров.

Traditionally, the essential features of individual projects are defined in an apophatic way. The author of this article conceptualizes the denial of any connection with known genres and forms as a generic property. It is shown how the features of individual projects are formed at the intersection of two planes—genre and programmatic. The possibility of treating individual projects as genres is proved by some provisions of the theory of reference, prototypical semantics, and cognitive linguistics. The author comes to the following conclusions: in individual projects, the following stable features should be considered absence of thematicism, absence of orientation to classical genres and typical musical form, referential reference not to the world, but to cognitive models. These stable features are enough to refer individual projects to a new class of genres.
