Authors: Subramanian Ramasamy , Shiek Ahmed , Meyyappan Chokkalingam
Published: May 2022

Introduction and Aim: Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) is an outpatient treatment to improve myocardial perfusion in chronic stable angina patients. We studied the clinical response of heart failure patients' improvement in the functional class and exercise tolerance with EECP.
 
Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated twenty-six patients, who had completed a course of EECP with pre and post six minutes’ walk test, functional ability assessed by the New York heart association (NYHA) classification, renal parameters, lipid profile, and diastole to systole(d/s) ratio in terms of Peak amplitude (P) and Area (A) under the curve value.
 
Results: The study group's mean age is of 56 years. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 31.44± 5.5%. Patients' demography includes 81% were male, 30% with hypertension (HT),50% with diabetes mellitus (DM), 30%chronic smokers, 61% of them had triple vessel disease (TVD). All the patients improved by a minimum of one NYHA class improvement, Serum urea reduced from 34.37 ± 20.28 to 27.24 ± 18.73 mg/dL (P = 0.002), C-Reactive protein (CRP) reduced from 4.6± 8.0 to 3.76 ± 5.1 mg/dL (P = 0.62). In the measured lipid panel test, only low-density lipoprotein (LDL) reduction from 94.41 ± 38.66 to 80.51 ± 35.09 mg/dL was statistically significant (P =0.03). The six-minute walk test, post-EECP, improved significantly from 340.14 ± 68.5 to 385.5 ± 73.9 meters (P =0.0004). The LVEF increased from 31.44 ± 5.5 to 38.38 ± 8.69 % (P=0.001).
 
Conclusion: EECP treatment significantly improves shortness of breath, six minutes walking distance, and ejection fraction in heart failure patients. The treatment significantly reduces serum urea and LDL level. These positive changes may be due to a sudden increase in cardiac output and hyperdynamic circulation during the treatment.

Published: May 2022

Introduction and Aim: Umbilical cord lipid profile of neonates might help facilitate the assessment of risk of developing atherosclerotic disorders later in life. This study prospectively measures the cord blood lipid profile of healthy newborn at birth in medical college hospital in rural Tamil Nadu.
Material sand Methods: Consecutive full-term newborns (n=105) were enrolled for this study. Umbilical cord blood sample was collected from placental end of the cord immediately after delivery of placenta of each baby and sent to the lab for lipid profile estimation. 
Results: In the newborns born to non-diabetic mothers, the mean cord blood total serum cholesterol (TC) was 73.31mg %, triglyceride (TGL) was 51.50mg %, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) 24.62 mg % and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) 51.73 mg %. Amongst newborns born to diabetic mothers, the mean TC was 113 mg % (P = 0.001), TGL 98.08mg% (P = 0.045) HDL 28.75 mg% (P = 0.130) LDL 73.48mg% (P = 0.007). Umbilical cord blood lipid profile did not show any significant sex-dependent difference. There was no statistical difference in lipid values between appropriate for gestational age (AGA)and small for gestational age (SGA). Birth weight had a negative correlation to cord blood serum TC and TGL values and showed no correlation to HDL and LDL values. Other parameters including head circumference, length of newborn at birth also showed no correlation to lipid profile. Total cholesterol, TGL and LDL were significantly elevated in newborns born to diabetic mothers. There was no statistical difference in cord blood lipid profile of babies born to mothers who were hypertensive. 
Conclusion: Infants born to diabetic mothers tend to have significantly elevated lipid values at birth and must be followed regularly later in life to diagnose and treat dyslipidemia and diabetes, to prevent onset of premature atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in this population.
A clinically controlled study investigating the effect of dry needling muscle tissue in asymptomatic subjects with respect to post-needling soreness
Authors:   , Ferreira Emile
Published: May 2022

Myofascial pain syndrome is the second most common reason patients seek the help of health care workers. It costs billions of dollars each year in lost revenue due to loss of productivity and other costs. The treatment of myofascial pain syndrome has been extensively researched and it appears that dry needling and medicinal injections of trigger points are some of the most effective modalities. However, an unwanted side effect common to both these therapies is post-needling soreness. Despite being mentioned in passing by many authors, very little detail is available regarding post-needling soreness. It is unclear whether post-needling soreness arises from the trigger point itself, or whether the tissue damage caused by the needle insertion is responsible. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating whether dry needling muscle tissue in asymptomatic subjects (i.e. subjects not suffering from myofascial pain syndrome) resulted in post-needling soreness. Two different dry needling techniques were also compared with a placebo group in order to determine which technique resulted in the least post-needling soreness. This study was designed as a prospective, randomised, placebo controlled experimental investigation. Sixty subjects were randomly allocated into three equal groups. Group one received the single needle insertion technique and the second group received the fanning dry needling technique. The last group formed the control group and the subjects were treated using the Park Sham Device (placebo needles). All the subjects were between the ages of 18 and 50 and were required to be asymptomatic in the low back region.
Clinical decision making by paramedics in emergency rapid sequence intubation
Authors:   , Pillay Yugan
Published: May 2022

Paramedic clinical decision making (CDM) surrounding emergency airway management of the critically ill or injured patient in the pre-hospital environment is poorly understood. In order to deliver pre-hospital care effectively it is necessary to understand how paramedics make clinical decisions in this area and determine what influences clinical practice. This study primarily investigated the factors influencing paramedic CDM in the context of advanced emergency airway management with specific focus on the newly introduced skill of rapid sequence intubation (RSI). An evaluation of the correct application of RSI guidelines, the determination of the need for their review and the identification of measures to enhance CDM around RSI were secondary research questions.
Lower respiratory tract disorders and thoracic spine pain and dysfunction in subjects presenting to the Durban Institute of Technology Chiropractic Day Clinic : a retrospective clinical survey
Authors:   , Edmunds Brett
Published: May 2022

Anecdotal evidence and some developmental theory suggest that lower respiratory tract pathologies may be associated with thoracic spine pain and dysfunction. This hypothetical association may be better described either as respiratory conditions occurring as a result of musculoskeletal dysfunction of the thoracic spine, or as respiratory conditions causing thoracic musculoskeletal dysfunction. Optimal function of the lungs and the process of ventilation is dependant on the normal function of the thoracic spine and the rib cage. Disturbances of the musculoskeletal components of the thoracic spine may lead to increased respiratory efforts, decreased lung function and in turn affect bronchopulmonary function. Obstructive respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema place an increased demand on the musculoskeletal components involved in expiration, as air has to be forcefully expired. The purpose of this quantitative, non experimental, demographic retrospective clinical survey was to retrospectively describe lower respiratory tract disorders and thoracic spine pain and dysfunction in subjects presenting to the Durban Institute of Technology Chiropractic Day Clinic, in terms of the prevalence of lower respiratory tract disorders as well as any association between the presenting respiratory conditions and their vertebral distribution in the thoracic spine.
The efficacy of a toggle recoil drop piece adjustment technique in the treatment of sacroiliac dysfunction
Authors:   , Jacobs Ronel C.
Published: May 2022

One of the most common clinical disorders known is mechanical low back pain (Painting et al. 1998:110). A significant source of low back pain is the sacroiliac joint and therefore, according to Schwarzer et al. (1995:31), it warrants further study. With respect to treatment, Gatterman (1995) states that specific manipulative therapy is the treatment of choice for sacroiliac dysfunction. This is supported by clinical studies (Cassidy et al., 1992), which have shown significant improvement with daily manipulation over a 2-3 week period in 90% of the patients suffering from sacroiliac dysfunction. Different adjusting techniques for the sacroiliac joint include side posture adjustment and prone drop piece adjustments (Bergmann, 1993). With respect to side posture, Bergmann (1993) further states that the side posture adjustment is the most common position used. However, it has been noted that side posture can produce unwanted rotation in the lumbar spine. This may be detrimental to patients who have contra-indications to torsioning such as abdominal aortic aneurisms, nerve root entrapment or disc pathology. Patients, who experience anterior catching of the hip capsule or decreased flexibility with side posture adjustments, experience more discomfort and could therefore benefit from a different technique (Gatterman, 1995). Hence the need for an effective adjustment technique that does not rely on torsioning (e.g. drop piece technique). (White, 2003; Pooke, 2003; Hyde, 2003; Pretorius, 2003; Haldeman, 2003; Cramer, 2003; Engelbrecht, 2003). Although drop table thrusting techniques were rated as being effective for the care of patients with neuromuskuloskeletal problems (Haldeman et al., 1993) as cited by Gatterman et al., (2001), it is still unknown which specific drop piece technique is the most appropriate for sacroiliac dysfunction. Therefore this study was aimed at determining the efficacy of a toggle recoil drop piece adjustment technique.
A study to determine the perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of selected South African pharmacists on the chiropractic profession
Authors:   , Palmer David Craig
Published: May 2022

Pharmacists are seen as a trustworthy source of advice and information to many people. Their accessibility, approachability and availability enable them numerous opportunities to offer health education and advice in an informal environment. Patient use of and demand for complementary and alternative practitioners including chiropractors, continues to increase, however there have been no studies to determine the extent of the pharmacists knowledge and perceptions/attitudes towards these alternative practitioners. Thus the purpose of this study was to determine the current perceptions, attitudes and knowledge of selected South African pharmacists with respect to the chiropractic profession. This will provide a basis for future studies, as well as a knowledge base to facilitate greater understanding and co-operation between pharmacists and chiropractors.
A homoeopathic drug proving of the ivory of the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) with a subsequent comparison to the doctrine of signatures
Authors:   , Speckmeier Claire Tamryn
Published: May 2022

A proving of ivory from the male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) 30CH was conducted. The proving symptoms were then analysed according to the doctrine of signatures, and compared to the proving symptoms of Lac Loxodonta africana. Aims and Objectives of the study The aim of this study was to identify the effects of ivory from male African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in a 30CH dilution, on healthy provers, and to record the clearly observable signs and symptoms produced by the provers, so as to determine the material medica of the proven substance. The objective of the study was to analyze the symptoms obtained from the proving according to the doctrine of signatures, and to establish any correlation that may exist between the homoeopathic drug picture produced and this doctrine. Methodology The remedy was derived from the tusk of a male african elephant (Loxodonta africana) and was prepared in accordance to the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (Drishien, 2003:36-38). The remedy was dispensed in the form of six lactose powders. The research was conducted as a randomised, double blind placebo controlled study. A group of provers (26) that were carefully selected from the general public (Appendix A) were divided into two groups. Recruitment commenced by obtaining suitable provers through speaking to fellow homoeopathic students, as ii well as members of the general public. The researchers conducted interviews with potential provers, excluding those that did not meet the inclusion criteria (Appendix A). The provers were randomly divided into two groups, and instructed to begin recording in their journals a week before starting the remedy, and a week after taking the remedy. The provers continued to record all symptoms until the symptoms abated and continued recording after this time for another two weeks. Once the proving had been completed another full case history and physical exam was performed. Results After the results were collaborated the proving symptoms were then analysed according to the doctrine of signatures. The results of this proving indicated that Loxodonta africana has the potential to be a valuable remedy in homoeopathic practice. Proving signs and symptoms revealed that the remedy could be indicated for mental and emotional conditions as well as a variety of physical diseases. The results of this research confirmed the hypothesis that the proving of Loxodonta africana 30CH would produce clear observable signs and symptoms when administered to healthy individuals. The results of this research also confirmed the second hypothesis that a comparison would exist between the proving symptoms and a doctrine of signatures analysis. Conclusion Thus the proving of Loxodonta africana and the subsequent comparison to the doctrine of signatures has the potential to become a well utilised homoeopathic remedy.

Published: May 2022

Objetivo: Describir y caracterizar la microbiología de las osteomielitis de pie diabético en pacientes hospitalizados en el Hospital San Juan de Dios en el año 2018.

Métodos:  Se consultó la base de datos local de pacientes de la Unidad de Pie Diabético para obtener los datos demográficos de los pacientes hospitalizados con diagnóstico de osteomielitis además del sistema de información de la división de Microbiología del Laboratorio Clínico con el fin de obtener los datos de especies bacterianas y sus perfiles de susceptibilidad a los antimicrobianos aisladas de las respectivas muestras de hueso. Con estos datos se construyó una base de datos para el proyecto y el análisis estadístico descriptivo se realizó en hojas de cálculo de Excel.

Resultados: Enterococcus faecalis fue el agente más frecuentemente aislado (21%), seguido de Staphylococcus aureus (14%), de los cuales 70% presentó fenotipo de meticilino resistencia y Escherichia coli como tercer lugar (11%). Otros bacilos Gram negativos ocuparon un cuarto lugar, con Enterobacter cloacae (8%) y Klebsiella pneumoniae (8%) como las principales especies aisladas; cabe destacar que se evidenció la presencia de 24% de cepas portadoras de β-lactamasas de espectro extendido, con K. pneumoniae como la principal especie portadora de este fenotipo de resistencia.

Conclusiones: Se reportó por primera vez a E. faecalis como la bacteria más aislada en OPD, lo cual permite concluir que la microbiología de estos cuadros en Costa Rica difiere a lo reportado en la literatura internacional y es necesario actualizar a la comunidad médica costarricense. Además, es importante destacar que a pesar de que el porcentaje obtenido de bacilos Gram negativos portadores de BLEE es inferior a lo reportado en la literatura, el 100% de las cepas de K. pneumoniae fueron portadoras de este fenotipo de resistencia, por lo tanto, es posible considerar a nivel local que el hallazgo preliminar de esta especie debería modificar el espectro terapéutico a utilizar en espera de reportes de PSA.

The article describes the history of the construction of medieval Jungian cult buildings Abylaikit, Semipalatinsk and Dolon - Karagai in the eastern part of Kazakhstan on the basis of the works of European and Russian researchers of the XVIII-XIX centuries and their functions. The features of the construction of these religious structures are given, analysis of the reasons for their destruction. Based on the construction and operation of these construction sites, a description of the course of Kazakhstan-Dzhungarian and Kazakhstan-Russian relations in East Kazakhstan, the Altai Territory of that period is given. It is estimated to be the place of these religious monuments in the history of Kazakhstan. Diplomatic relations of the Kazakh Khanate with neighboring countries in the XVIII century and mutual conflicts between the Kazakh Khanate and the Dzhungarian Khanate, the heroic feats of Abylai Khan, Cabanbai Batyr, Bogenbai Batyr and others during the invasion of the Qin Empire in the Kazakh Khanate to the State Archives of Russia and Kazakhstan, the actual data considered And systematically represented on the basis of ancient and modern scientific literature in domestic and foreign scientific libraries. Famous from the beginning of the 18th century, one of the few scientific destroyed rooms in Abilaykit, retained the remnants of religious books written by the Mongolian letter, thus the construction has even more religious and historical significance.

Published: May 2022

Considering that there are few published studies that specifically address the exclusive use of Carcinosinum in different potencies and, most of them focused on genotypic and clinical effects, the present study was proposed to identify possible phenotypic changes, including viability, expression of HER-2 and metastatic abilities, using 4T1 cells in vitro as a model. Carcinosinum was tested in different homeopathic potencies (12cH; 30cH; 200cH) mechanically prepared using sterile pure water. The time space between preparing the potencies and using them was 24 hours.The final dilutions were inserted into the culture medium in a volume equal to 10%, at the time of cell seeding. The same succussed vehicle used to prepare the drugs (70% ethanol) diluted 1:100 in sterile pure water was used as control. All treated cells were cultured in 25 mL flasks, with cell density of 5 x 105 cells/mL. After 24 hours of treatment, cells were analyzed for apoptosis index using Annexin V kit and the Countess® system. The morphology of 4T1 cells was monitored by staining cell smears with hematoxylin-eosin and Giemsa methods. HER-2 expression was assessed by immunocytochemistry and metalloproteinase activity was assessed by zymography. The determination of the cytokine profile was performed using Cytometric Bead Array (CBA). The samples were evaluated in quadruplicate and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Carcinosinum 30cH presented the highest apoptotic index and reduction of MMP-9-Pro expression; Carcinosinum 200cH produced the highest positivity for HER-2 and no specific effect was seen after the treatment with Carcinosinum 12cH. No change in cytokine expression was seen among treatments. We conclude that Carcinosinum 30cH and 200cH can change phenotypic features important to tumor development in vitro. The clinical meaning of these data deserves further investigation.

Abstract. Microtopography can be a key driver of heterogeneity in the ground thermal
and hydrological regime of permafrost landscapes. In turn, this
heterogeneity can influence plant communities, methane fluxes, and the
initiation of abrupt thaw processes. Here we have implemented a two-tile
representation of microtopography in JULES (the Joint UK Land Environment
Simulator), where tiles are representative of repeating patterns of
elevation difference. Tiles are coupled by lateral flows of water, heat, and
redistribution of snow, and a surface water store is added to represent
ponding. Simulations are performed of two Siberian polygon sites, (Samoylov
and Kytalyk) and two Scandinavian palsa sites (Stordalen and Iškoras). The model represents the observed differences between greater snow depth in
hollows vs. raised areas well. The model also improves soil moisture for
hollows vs. the non-tiled configuration (“standard JULES”) though the raised
tile remains drier than observed. The modelled differences in snow depths
and soil moisture between tiles result in the lower tile soil temperatures
being warmer for palsa sites, as in reality. However, when comparing the
soil temperatures for July at 20 cm depth, the difference in temperature
between tiles, or “temperature splitting”, is smaller than observed (3.2 vs.
5.5 ∘C). Polygons display small (0.2 ∘C)
to zero temperature splitting, in agreement with observations. Consequently,
methane fluxes are near identical (+0 % to 9 %) to those for standard
JULES for polygons, although they can be greater than standard JULES for palsa
sites (+10 % to 49 %). Through a sensitivity analysis we quantify the relative importance of model
processes with respect to soil moisture and temperatures, identifying which
parameters result in the greatest uncertainty in modelled temperature.
Varying the palsa elevation between 0.5 and 3 m has little effect on
modelled soil temperatures, showing that using only two tiles can still be a
valid representation of sites with a range of palsa elevations. Mire
saturation is heavily dependent on landscape-scale drainage. Lateral
conductive fluxes, while small, reduce the temperature splitting by
∼ 1 ∘C and correspond to the order of
observed lateral degradation rates in peat plateau regions, indicating
possible application in an area-based thaw model.

THE POETIC IMAGE OF A WOMAN IN ABAI’S WORKS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS WITH PRE-ABAEV ARTISTIC TRENDS
Authors: Zhumataeva Aidana Nyshangaliyevna
Published: May 2022

Analyzing the evolution of artistic views on the image of Kazakh women in national art, we draw attention to the fact that the image of the steppe beauty is recreated in the binary opposition good / bad. Precisely in this way, the female character was stereotypically recreated by the poets of the pre-Abaev era. The character of the heroines is revealed in the female images, born by the pen of Abai, the psychological, emotional state, spirituality are conveyed. The portrait characteristic is remembered. This determines the importance of scientific understanding of how complex and multifaceted the images of women in the lyrics of Abai are. The main purpose of the article is a comprehensive examination of the artistic image of Kazakh women in the poetry of Abai, the identification of their typological features. The author of the article carried out a literary analysis of poems of a moral and psychological orientation in the work of poets, representatives of the author’s literature of the pre-Abaev period, defined artistic and aesthetic criteria and ideological orientation. The author conducts a comparative analysis of Abai’s poetic skill in conveying a female character, reveals and generalizes poetic traditions, reveals the skill of Bukhara, Aktamberdy, Shalgez, Shal akyn and Akan Seri, a prominent representative of sal-seri poetry. Important points in the creation of a gallery of ethically and aesthetically ideal female types, strong in spirit, striving to build their lives in a new way, are highlighted. The poet sings of the harmony of the mind, talent, character, beauty and wealth of the inner world. The new, feminist interpretation of Abay’s poetry, previously referred to as love lyrics, is of particular interest for Abay studies. In accordance with the purpose of the study, a comparative analysis of the poetry of zhyrau and the lyrics of Abai was carried out on the basis of objective-analytical, historical-literary and comparative-typological methods. Abay’s works, glorifying lyrical heroines, are conventionally divided into three groups. The process of transformation of the traditional female image into a deep, multifaceted image of a mother, into a complex, mysterious image of a beloved wife, friend, beautiful girl, muse is revealed. It has been convincingly proven that the poetic skill of Abay, who realistically captured the images of the heroines in their behavior and actions, influenced the poets of the Abay poetic school. The article is of scientific interest for young scientists interested in Abay studies.

Cratinus, Aristophanes and Attic countryside. A note on the hypothesis of Cratinus’ Dionysalexandros (POxy. 663 col. i, rr. 20-25)
Authors: Ceccarelli Stefano
Published: May 2022

This paper offers a discussion on a passage from the hypothesis of Cratinus’ Dionysalexandros (POxy 663 col. i, rr. 20-25). According to this source, Cratinus hinted, in his play, at Spartans’ invasions of Attic countryside during the first years of the Peloponnesian War. This is one of Aristophanes’ most typical comic themes. As a matter of fact, from Banqueters to Peace (i.e. 427-421 BC), the poet staged realistic comedies with rustics as protagonists, depicting the countryside as an idealised place and developing in various ways the theme of the forced urbanisation of Attic country people. Although there is no evidence that Cratinus dramatized this theme, at least he referred to it in his comedy and this could have inspired the young Aristophanes.
Una posible influencia de Dionisio de Halicarnaso en el pensamiento historiográfico de Luis Vives
Authors: Sáseta Naranjo Rafael Antonio
Published: May 2022

Este artículo explora una posible influencia de Dionisio de Halicarnaso en la concepción historiográfica del humanista valenciano Luis Vives. El autor español se sumó al ambiente de renovación de las artes liberales de su tiempo, siempre con un enfoque ciceroniano que daba primacía a las tres primeras artes del discurso, y a la combinación sintética entre filosofía y retórica. Se trata de un modelo pedagógico procedente de Isócrates. En tanto Dionisio de Halicarnaso tuvo una gran influencia de estas ideas, desarrollando sus posibilidades en el plano historiográfico, se habría convertido en un perfecto modelo para Luis Vives.
Plot-makers in Euripides’ Ion
Authors: Dimoglidis Vasileios
Published: May 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the plot-makers in Euripides’ Ion, focusing in this way on an aspect of the Euripidean metapoetry. Ion’s four characters (Apollo, Xuthus, Creusa, and Ion) are transformed into plot-makers, with each of them trying to compose a plot. I have suggested that Apollo is the poet’s double, and thus his plot echoes that of Euripides. The fact that, despite the various deviations (unsuccessful sub-plots), the plot is redirected every single time to the god’s original plot, credits Apollo with the title of a successful theatrical writer (internal playwright), a title that finally Euripides himself assumes.
El imperfecto jónico en Heródoto: ¿elemento épico o elemento jónico?
Authors: Jiménez delgado José Miguel , García Zamora Patricia
Published: May 2022

Este trabajo tiene por objeto analizar, de forma exhaustiva, las características que presentan los imperfectos jónicos en las Historias de Heródoto y compararlas con las de los imperfectos jónicos que emplean Homero y otros autores épicos, con el fin último de determinar si su uso por parte de Heródoto puede considerarse un homerismo o si se trata, más bien, de un rasgo del dialecto jónico. La ausencia de esta categoría en las inscripciones dialectales y su rareza fuera de la épica y la obra herodotea suscita dudas sobre el origen de esta formación en las Historias de Heródoto. Como veremos, las características léxicas, morfológicas y sintáctico-semánticas de los imperfectos jónicos herodoteos permiten distinguir su uso del homérico con claridad.
La devaluación de las garantías del empleo: el reducido control de la decisión unilateral del empresario
Authors: Cabeza Pereiro Jaime
Published: May 2022

Las reformas de 2010 y de 2012 han cambiado profundamente las reglas sobre protección del empleo. El efecto combinado de las dos consiste en una disminución de las garantías de las personas trabajadoras, que ahora están mucho más expuestas a decisiones extintivas del contrato, procedentes e improcedentes. En cuanto al despido disciplinario, las nuevas normativas han facilitado el despido improcedente, mediante una serie de cambios que, en términos generales, disminuyen la indemnización e incentivan que las empresas opten por la extinción del contrato y no por la readmisión. Por lo que respecta al despido por causas económicas, técnicas, organizativas o de producción, las novedades han consistido en reducir la intensidad de las mismas y en remover garantías de procedimiento muy variadas. En este artículo, se desarrolla un comentario crítico de ambas reformas, centrado en el período transcurrido entre 2010 y 2019.

Կլիմայի փոփոխության ահազանգերը. մեղմո՞ւմ, թե՞ հարմարվողականություն/Signals of Climate Change։ Mitigation or Adaptation
Authors: AVETISYAN Samvel
Published: May 2022

Climate change is sending new alarms to humanity. Greenhouse gas emissions are increasing causing the atmosphere to warm. Melting glaciers and temperature changes are becoming irreversible. The level of the world ocean is gradually rising, the process of desertification of arid regions is becoming more noticeable. According to professional observations, every degree increase in temperature in Armenia leads to an upward vertical deviation of about 200 meters. Such changes must either be prevented or adapted to new conditions. It is clear that nature is not so easy to manage, so adaptation is more accessible than prevention.
The paper analyzes the latest phenomena of climate change and, in addition to the negative consequences, also discusses the positive effects of global warming on the agriculture of Syunik region of the Republic of Armenia.
Կյանքը՝ QR կոդով կամ կանաչ անձնագրով/Life with QR Codes or a Green Passport
Authors: SHAHRIMANYAN Tereza
Published: May 2022

In the current situation, it is imperative to live with COVID-19, which means living with QR codes. After a long period of restrictions, which were fraught with financial consequences, green passports appear as a logical continuation of vaccinations to get out of this situation. Green passports are a purely digital age-appropriate work tool: process management facilitator, coordinator, COVID-19 control tool. The QR code in the green passport is the digital processing of personal information related to COVID-19.
However, the implementation of green passports is imperfect in terms of software. Vaccination of vaccines, inequality of vaccines and inaccessibility hinder the full operation of green passports. In particular, in Armenia there is a problem of perception of green passports and QR codes due to inaccessibility of information: inequality.
Thus, the use of green passports as a tool to regulate the process will help remove the restrictions and restore normal life. This is evidenced by the experience of countries that have already undergone the process of perceiving green passports, and, as a result, proved to be fully operational.

Published: May 2022

This study reveals the function of mood, modality, and speech function in the conversation produced by native and non-native speakers. This study of Systemic Functional Linguistics and its practical theories were adopted from Halliday and Matthessien (2014) and Eggins (2007). Therefore, the researcher applied discourse analysis to find the units of mood, modality, and speech function through conversation. The sample of documentation was taken from four kinds of conversations. The instrument was qualitatively collected from casual conversations. The result showed that the use of mood in terms of declarative mood was the most mode applied by the speakers; they employed both positive declaration and negative declaration. Besides, the writer also summarized the modality system where the speakers mainly used the probability system to modify their conversation, while the last type of interpersonal meaning was speech mode; the speakers frequently utilized statement type to deliver their messages to the listener. This research then practically and pedagogically suggested to both teachers and further researchers to comprehend the concept of interpersonal meaning. For practical purposes, the teachers are advised to teach their pupils how to create understandable conversations such as the utilities of subject and finite; the researchers also needed to know their further study about interpersonal meaning if they influenced humans' communication or their status.
