Authors: Emeih Wahed Wan Juliana , Saad Noorhayati , Hj. Mohd Yusoff Saiful Bahari 
Published: November 2020

The beauty of Pua Kumbu is not merely a cultural expression but it also represents the wealth of information to pass from one generation to another. The art of creating Pua Kumbu design motifs is based on the body of knowledge gathered through collective memory, and the conservation of Pua Kumbu's knowledge and history. The aesthetic perception stimuli from the audiences are complicated cognitive processes. Hence, this study aims to measure the aesthetic perception of 400 participants on design motifs applied on the cloth according to their gender and background using ARS-Revised questionnaire. The findings revealed that female participants exhibited a greater knowledge of Pua Kumbu compared to their male counterparts. Participants from Sarawak perceived higher in cognitive stimulation, knowledge, and self-reference which indicated that they were more likely to be knowledgeable about Pua Kumbu. Participants from Sabah demonstrated the lowest in both cognitive stimulation and expertise despite Sabah being situated in the same region as Sarawak in Borneo. Gender and background of the participants are concluded to exert significant influence on the knowledge in Pua Kumbu design motifs. Knowledge of Pua Kumbu is crucial for the appreciation of aesthetics in preserving the culture and heritage of Sarawak, Malaysia at its best. The findings of this study may interest scholars and researchers in the unique Malaysian heritage.

Resumo
O Brasil teve o primeiro caso registrado de Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) no dia 26 de fevereiro de 2020. Desde o início da pandemia houve muito desconhecimento da doença e suas sequelas. Atualmente sabe se que o coronavírus pode causar a sintomatologia de um resfriado comum incluindo febre, tosse, dor de garganta, congestão nasal, mal estar geral, fadiga, cefaleia, mialgia e anosmia. Este estudo tem como objetivo destacar o aumento da preocupação entre os médicos, devido ao crescente número de casos relatados de anosmia em pacientes com COVID-19, pois sugere dano viral direto aos receptores olfatórios e degeneração neuronal retrógrada das vias de condução centrais. Nesse contexto, para avaliação de um paciente com perda olfativa é necessário ter uma anamnese em que conste o tempo de perda, fatores concomitantes como a Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave do Coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), se há ausência completa ou parcial (que caracteriza uma hiposmia) e outros sintomas nasais associados. Além disso, como método diagnóstico é fundamental a avaliação do olfato a partir da apresentação de substâncias odoríferas ao paciente e pedir para nomeá-las. A queixa de diminuição ou perda total do olfato durante o cenário pandêmico atual evidencia um sintoma de alerta que necessita de investigação médica para confirmar a suspeita de infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2 com diagnóstico precoce e controle de disseminação da doença.

NOMINA ANIMALIUM IN LATERCULUS BY POLEMIUS SILVIUS. THE BEGINNINGS OF THE LITURGICAL CALENDAR (5TH CENTURY)
Authors: Piechocka-Kłos Maria 
Published: November 2020

Creating Laterculus, Polemus Silvius, a 5th-century author, was the first to attempt to integrate the traditional Roman Julian calendar containing the pagan celebrations and various anniversaries with new Christian feasts. Laterculus, as it should be remembered, is a work that bears the features of a liturgical calendar. In addition to dates and anniversaries related to religion and the state, the calendar contains several other lists and inventories, including a list of Roman provinces, names of animals, a list of buildings and topographical features of Rome, a breviary of Roman history, a register of animal sounds and a list of weights and sizes. Therefore, Laterculus, just like a traditional Roman calendar, was also used for didactic purposes.
This paper aims to refer in detail to the zoological vocabulary, specifically the register of animal names and sounds included in this source. Laterculus contains in total over 450 words divided into six groups, including 108 words in the four-legged animal section, 131 in the bird section, 11 crustaceans, 26 words for snakes, 62 words for insects and 148 for fish. The sounds of animals, which are also included in one of the lists added to this calendar and titled Voces variae animancium, are also worth mentioning. A brief discussion on the history of the Roman calendar and the liturgical calendar certainly helps to present the issue referred to in the title to its fullest extent.
INDICATORS OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE STAGE II-IV

Relevance. Chronic diseases have a long duration and a rather slow progression, and people who have such diseases want not only to live longer but also to live better. Therefore, quality of life (QOL) is one of the most important health issues for the treatment of chronic diseases.
Objective: to determine the features of QOL in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage II-IV.
Materials and methods. In 171 patients with CKD of II-IV centuries, in addition to general clinical and laboratory studies, QOL was studied using a questionnaire to assess the quality of life of SF-36. The questionnaire contains 36 questions of the main module, supplemented by multi-point scales aimed specifically at patients with CKD. The answers were evaluated in points - from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the patient's QOL. The total components were also calculated: physical total component, mental total component, total points. The obtained research data were subjected to statistical processing, which included parametric (t-test for samples with unrelated variants) and non-parametric (Mann-Whitney method) methods, correlation analysis was used.
Results. Most QOL indicators worsen significantly with the progression of CKD. The indicators of total QOL, as well as the indicator "the impact of the disease on everyday life" are most significantly reduced. Age correlates as much as possible with most indicators of QOL in patients with CKD. With age, the QOL of patients decreases, but the manifestations of the disease increase and the mental and physical condition of patients deteriorate. QOL parameters are probably directly and moderately correlated with hemoglobin levels. Most QOL parameters are significantly moderately correlated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. It is assumed that the correction of anemia and blood pressure control, in addition to a positive effect on disease progression and the occurrence and development of complications, will also improve QOL. There were no significant differences in the assessment of QOL in men and women.
Conclusions. QOL indicators decrease with the progression of CKD. Age, hemoglobin level, blood pressure affect QOL.
Implementing Virtual Reality Headsets in Design Education
Authors: Chan Christine Peierh 
Published: November 2020

While Virtual Reality (VR) is now widely used as a final design presentation tool, little research focuses on the role of VR during design development processes in design education. However, properly positioned and pedagogically researched VR holds great potential for helping students make better design decisions to support end-users with diverse needs. This research seeks to connect the value of VR as not only a presentation medium but also as a “perspective taking” tool to help students develop better design solutions. Undergraduate Interior Design students (n=15) were recruited to experience their already completed studio projects of a retail store design as a VR character in a virtual wheelchair. Each participant was asked to assess the effectiveness of their design solution for wheelchair users before and after the intervention. The interactions students had during their VR sessions were recorded and content analyzed for emerging themes. Although the sample size was small to achieve statistical power, qualitative findings revealed numerous perceptual shifts as students identified problems for wheelchair users in their design solutions.
"Shame on me... or Shame on You": The Connection Between Arts and Decision-making
Authors: Arango Carolina Leah 
Published: November 2020

Over time artists have grappled with the experiences of the soul, particularly the human struggle to be virtuous. In this research project, choreographic tools are used to examine expressionistic links between the movement of Auguste Rodin’s sculpture The Gates of Hell and the narrative of Dante Alighieri’s Dante’s Inferno. These works were intended to persuade men to be righteous instead of committing sin. Rodin’s attention to human anatomy centers the importance of the body’s organic creation of movement in this struggle. Attention to the physique and emotion of the human body in motion has enabled Rodin’s work to transcend “generations and nationalities with the utmost ease”. The choreographic research aims to connect the links between emotion, expressions, and narrative of the souls to today. In contrast to sin simply being a conscious individual choice, an individual could be influenced to engage in “unethical behavior” by a group. Using dancers’ interpretation of ‘moral injustices’ as a guide for motifs, the choreography entitled “Shame on Me… or Shame on You?” will be a group work embodying the struggle of humanity to be good in real time.

The method of transport category airplane flight range estimation taking into account its center-of-gravity position variation in the process of fuel utilization at cruising flight mode is presented. The method structure includes the following models:– Interinfluence of main parameters on each other in the process of fuel utilization;– CG position influence on required thrust values in level flight;– Estimation of CG position influence on lift-to-drag ratio in cruise mode;– Quantitative estimation of center-of-gravity position variation influence on airplane flight range.Simulation of the main parameters is based on authoring researches, which established interinfluence among geometrical and aerodynamic parameters of wing, parameters of horizontal tail and center-of-gravity position variation caused by fuel utilization in cruise flight. Such model allows estimating of airplane center-of-gravity influence their values and their relative position.Aerodynamic parameters variation caused by center-of-gravity shift resulted in necessity to take this influence into account, for required engine thrust variation; that is shown in the publication in the form of dependences P(M, m, xCG) allowing to take into account the required thrust variation and their influence to range variation.On the base of interinfluence model and taking into account required thrust variation (when center-of-gravity position shifts), lift-to-drag variation has been obtained and analyzed in the form of dependences K, KM(M, m, xCG) for middle airplane of transport category.Expression for estimation of airplane flight range under variable values of its mass and center-of-gravity position is obtained on the base of these models; that allows flight range increasing by means of center-of-gravity position dedicated shift.On the example of mid-range transport airplane, it is shown, that at Mach number M = 0.7 and center-of-gravity shift back from xCG = 0.20 to xCG = 0.35, the increase of lift-to-drag ratio makes ΔK = 0.43.On the base of presented models, it is shown, that airplane center-of-gravity position influences lift-to-drag ratio, fuel efficiency and as a result on flight range at cruising flight mode.Application of aft center-of-gravity position allows decreasing of engine required thrust (decreasing fuel consumption), and increasing of lift-to-drag ratio and airplane flight range.

The presence in operation of many prototypes of UAVs with propeller propellers, the use of such devices at relatively low altitudes and flight speeds makes the problem of reducing the noise generated during UAV flights urgent both from the point of view of acoustic visibility and ecology.The main source of the UAV's acoustic signature is its power plant, which includes the engine and propeller.The tasks of this work, the solution of which requires the implementation of experimental studies, include the determination of the power, spatial and spectral characteristics of the acoustic fields of propeller driven power plants of UAVs with an electric drive. The propeller is one of the main sources of acoustic radiation produced by the power plant. The influence on the acoustic characteristics of the power plant was investigated: changes in the diameter of the propellers with a constant pitch, changes in the number of blades and the number of revolutions (peripheral speeds of the propeller). The possibility of reducing the noise produced by the propeller by changing the nature of the noise spectrum was considered. The rotor rotation noise, especially of its five first harmonics, is one of the most noticeable parts in the noise spectrum of a propeller engine installation. Therefore, a hypothesis was considered and put into practice to reduce the acoustic signature of UAVs by reducing the noise of these components due to their shift to the region of higher frequencies, at which sound vibrations in the air decay faster. A comparison technique is proposed. The measurements were carried out under static conditions, in the KhAI anechoic chamber. Note that the propellers involved in the experiments operated at Reynolds numbers (Re0.75 <1*105), which can significantly affect its aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics. An empirical formula was obtained for the 11 × 6" «Aero-naut» propeller, which makes it possible to estimate the noise produced by this propeller when designing for a given flight mode in a given direction. The possibility was considered in the future to have a database of frequently used propellers. The contribution of harmonic noise components was considered propeller in the direction of its radiation. The contribution of the brushless electric motor to the intensity of acoustic radiation of the UAV power plant is determined. It is noted that the main contribution to the noise of a power plant with a brushless electric motor is made by the propeller. At the same time, the noise of a brushless electric motor can significantly increase in the range of 2 ... 3 kHz with wear of rolling bearings.
