Protection of Religious Feelings of Orthodox Christians in Russia and Modern Theatrical Art
Authors: Чайковский Назарий Петрович 
Published: November 2021

За последнее десятилетие в современной России в светской творческой и научной среде сформировалась тенденция, суть которой можно свести к обвинению Церкви в конфронтации с современной культурой и искусством, в попытках навязать обществу религиозные нормы поведения, ограничить свободу слова, свободу творчества. Все чаще в адрес Церкви слышатся голоса, обвиняющие ее во вмешательстве в государственную политику, в попытках насаждения цензуры, в противодействии «прогрессивному культурному развитию», по примеру Западной цивилизации, в ретроградстве и «мракобесии». Все эти нападки со стороны представителей светской интеллигенции происходят на фоне весьма активных попыток провокации представителей церковной иерархии и православной общественности со стороны журналистов, режиссеров, театральных деятелей. Почвой, на которой в последнее время происходят подобные конфликты и столкновения, все чаще становятся те или иные литературные произведения, театральные постановки, а также кинематограф. Указанные литературные произведения, театральные постановки и произведения кинематографа могут в ряде случаев оскорблять религиозные чувства православных христиан. В настоящем исследовании проанализированы некоторые примеры на предмет их соответствия действующему российскому законодательству.
Over the past decade, in modern Russia, a secular creative and scientific environment has formed a tendency, the essence of which can be reduced to accusing the Church of confrontation with modern culture and art, in attempts to impose religious norms of behavior on society, restrict freedom of speech, freedom of creativity. Increasingly, voices are being heard about the Church accusing it of interfering in public policy, of attempting to impose censorship, of countering «progressive cultural development», following the example of Western civilization, of retrograde and obscurantism. All these attacks by representatives of the secular intelligentsia are taking place against the backdrop of very active attempts to provoke representatives of the church hierarchy and the Orthodox community by journalists, directors, and theater figures. The ground on which recent similar conflicts and clashes have been taking place are some kind of literary work, theatrical performances, as well as cinema. The indicated literary works, theatrical productions and works of cinema can in some cases offend the religious feelings of Orthodox Christians. This study analyzed some examples of their compliance with current Russian law.

Published: November 2021

Background and Aim: Bowel obstruction is the most common intra-abdominal problem faced by general surgeons in their practice. Therefore better understanding of pathophysiology, improvement in diagnostic techniques, fluid and electrolyte correction, much potent antibiotics and knowledge of intensive care is required. present study was undertaken to study the management and post-operative complications of intestinal obstruction.
Material and Methods: This is a prospective study of 97 cases presenting with symptoms and signs suggestive of acute intestinal obstruction. All patients are subjected to required preoperative biochemical investigations. Patients who showed reduction in abdominal distention and improvement in general condition especially in individuals with postoperative adhesions, a chance of conservative management was taken (by extending the supportive treatment) for further 12 to 24 hours; those who showed improvement by moving bowels, reduction in pain and tenderness was decided for conservative treatment, such individuals were excluded in this study.
Results: The occurrence of acute intestinal obstruction was common in male in comparison with female. The commonest presenting symptom was abdominal pain (100%) followed by vomiting (92.7%), distention of abdomen (87.6%) and absolute constipation (53.6%). In this study, Adhesive obstruction (56.7%) was the commonest cause of acute intestinal obstruction. Release of adhesions and bands was done in 43 cases. Resection and end-to-end anastomosis was done in 25 cases, which included cases of intussusceptions, adhesions, stricture, ileocaecal growth, colonic growth.
Conclusion: Most common etiological factor for intestinal obstruction is postoperative adhesions. Obstructed Inguinal Hernia is second most common cause of intestinal obstruction. Clinic radiological and operative findings put together can bring about the best and accurate diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Исследования турбокомпрессоров с общим рабочим колесом для применения в двигателях и энергоустановках
Authors: Шкабура Владимир Анатольевич 
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the working processes in flowing part of the turbo-compressors with general impeller (TCG) and with two schemes of the flows. The work studies the features of the TCG operation with two schemes of the flows and the gas-dynamic calculation theory development of their flow parts for use in engines and power plants. The tasks to be solved are to investigate two schemes of the flows in the interscapular space of the impeller – direct-flow and counter-flow. If the gas and air flow directions coincide concerning the axis of rotation of the impeller, then the flow pattern in the TCG is direct-flow, with the opposite movement of flows – is counter-flow. The solution to this problem was performed using the developed methods of gas-dynamic calculation of the TCG flow parts. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is as follows: parameters that significantly affect the efficiency of the turbine and compressor parts of the TCG were established and the formula in the form of a general criterion ratio was calculated. The dependence of the correction factor is determined, which considers the effect of the ratio of the impeller width on the average diameter of the working channel of the RK in the compressor section and the turbine section of the TCG. The article contains formulas, with correction factors, for calculating the power factor in the compressor section and the load factor in the turbine section. If the ratio of the grating width to the average diameter of the working channel is overestimated, it is necessary to supplement the formulas with a correction factor that considers the effect of this ratio. Studies have determined that switching from one mode of operation to another – in a certain section of the impeller, accelerates the flow to the required speed. It is especially evident in the compressor working channel of the TCG with a counter-flow pattern. In the turbine section, the gas flow acceleration time does not depend on the flow pattern – the flow is active and accelerates to the required speed in the nozzle apparatus. The given formulas allow calculating the power of the turbine and compressor parts of the impeller to perform an enlarged gas-dynamic calculation of TCG. Studies have determined that TCG can be used in gas turbine engines and the pressurization system of an internal combustion engine.

Published: November 2021

Iklan Animasi merupakan media promosi yang menggunakan animasi dalam memperkenalkan produknya. Salah satu produk yang menggunakan animasi sebagai media iklannya adalah Oreo. Di Indonesia, iklan oreo terkenal dengan taglinenya “diputer, dijilat, dicelupin”. Namun terdapat iklan internasional oreo yang mengusung tema berbagi dengan cerita yang berbeda. Salah satunnya adalah versi aladin yang mengggunakan dongeng aladin sebagai alur ceritanya. Untuk dapat mengetahui ideologi yang disusung dalam iklan ini penulis menganalisa menggunakan semiotika model Pierce untuk mengkaji dari tanda non verbal sedangkan model Saussure untuk mengkaji tanda verbal. Dari hasil analisis penulis menemukan ajakan konsumen untuk berbagi oreo, namun secara tidak langsung konsumen diajak menjadi agen untuk memasarkan oreo. Ideologi yang ingin dibangun dari Iklan ini adalah konsumtif dengan memasukkan pemahaman bahwa dengan berbagi oreo dapat memuncukan hal-hal baik.

Covariate Adjustment in Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Lee Hyolim , Thorpe Kevin 
Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Unadjusted analyses, fully adjusted analyses, or adjusted analyses based on tests of significance on covariate imbalance are recommended for covariate adjustment in randomized controlled trials. It has been indicated that the tests of significance on baseline comparability is inappropriate, rather it is important to indicate the strength of relationship with outcomes. Our goal is to understand when the adjustment should be used in randomized controlled trials.
Methods: Unadjusted analysis, fully adjusted analysis, and adjusted analysis based on baseline comparability were examined under null and alternative hypothesis by simulation studies. Each data set was simulated 3000 times for a total of 9 scenarios for sample sizes of 20, 40, and 100 each with baseline thresholds of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2. Each scenario was examined by the change in magnitude of correlation from 0.1 to 0.9.
Results: Power of fully adjusted analysis under alternative hypothesis was increased as the correlation increased while adjusted analysis based on the covariate imbalance did not compare favorably to the unadjusted analysis. Type 1 error was decreased in adjusted analysis based on the covariate imbalance under null hypothesis. It was then observed that p-value does not follow a uniform distribution under the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: Unadjusted and fully adjusted analyses were valid analyses. Full adjustment could potentially increase the power if adjustment is known. However, adjusted analysis based on the test of significance on covariate imbalance may not be a valid analysis. Tests of significance should not be used for comparing baseline comparability.
Constructing Long Short-Term Memory Networks to Predict Ulcerative Colitis Progression from Longitudinal Gut Microbiome Profiles
Authors: Li Xu , Hu Pingzhao 
Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Ulcerative colitis is an intestinal disorder with an erratic progression in which the patients suffer from capricious remissions and changeful severities. Lacking prognosis to the UC progression can lead to irrational treatments that adversely affect the patients’ quality of life. Existing studies have stated a connection between gut microbiomes and UC progression. We aim to construct Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict UC progression (remission & severity) from longitudinal gut microbiome data.
Methods: Using one-step and two-step modelling strategies, we develop a standard LSTM network, an encoder-decoder LSTM network, a convolutional LSTM network, and several benchmarking classifiers such as random forests. For high-dimensional data, we also implement auto-encoder to select variables in addition to baseline procedures like principal component analysis. We train each model using a longitudinal microbiome data, and validate them via a 10-round set splitting approach.
Results: Each proposed model shows the potential to predict UC progression, but they do not reach an optimal level for medical utilizations. The encoder-decoder LSTM demonstrates superiority over the other classifiers while the auto-encoder outperformed the baseline variable selectors.
Conclusion: We support the capacity of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict UC progression from longitudinal microbiome data, and verify the strength of autoencoder networks in selecting features from high dimensional data.
Evaluating the Impact of Alcohol Control Interventions on Suicide Mortality Rates
Authors: Feng Xinyang , Jiang Huan 
Published: November 2021

Introduction & Objective: Given that the impact of regulatory and public policy initiatives cannot usually be tested through traditional randomized controlled trial designs, well-selected, -designed, and -analyzed natural experiments are the method of choice when examining the effects of such enactments on a variety of outcomes. The classic methodology for such evaluations is interrupted time-series (ITS) analysis, which is considered as one of the quasi-experimental designs that use both pre- and post-policy data without randomization. This study tests the impact of alcohol control interventions implemented in different period of times on suicide mortality rates among people 25-74 years of age using ITS.
Methods: We mainly use the generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) to capture trend and seasonality in suicide mortality rates while controlling for unemployment rates, financial crisis during 2007-2008, and legal alcohol consumption records. Given the notable differences in alcohol consumption and suicide mortality between males and females, all analyses are conducted gender-specifically.
Results: The ITS shows that the intervention introduced in 2017 has a significant effect on reducing suicide mortality rates for males between 25 and 74. Following the implementation of the intervention, suicide mortality rates decreased by 23.8% (95% CI: 10.2% - 35.4%) on average.
Conclusion: The alcohol control intervention that strictly increased the excise tax on alcohol products has been shown to have a strong impact on reducing suicide mortality rates among male adults 25-74 years of age. ITS analyses are one of the strongest evaluative designs and allow a more detailed assessment of the longitudinal impact of an intervention than may be possible with a randomized control trial.

Published: November 2021

Objective: To gather informal evidence on the Canadian community’s knowledge of the history and matters of Indigenous Peoples of Canada and identify gaps in education and awareness.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed through a structured and anonymous questionnaire that was completed on a voluntary basis. Knowledge gained from partnering with Indigenous members of the community and participating in a blanket exercise was used to produce questions surrounding current and historical matters of Indigenous peoples of Canada. The blanket exercise is an Indigenous-led educational program that tells the story of Canadian history from an Indigenous lens. The inclusion criteria for the study was individuals enrolled in a primary and/or secondary Canadian educational institution and non-Indigenous self-identification. The survey sample most closely represents individuals between 18 to 24 years old in the population.
Results: The target demographic scored an average of 54.4% on knowledge-based survey questions. Most individuals answered questions more accurately on topics relating to historical facts, such as the content of the Indian Act, than they did on topics relating to current Indigenous issues, like percent of land mass occupied by Indigenous peoples. Despite indicating primary and secondary schooling as the main source of education on Indigenous history, 86% of participants found their education “limited” and “inadequate”. Results of the survey do not definitively represent the Canadian population, as this was an informal study completed on a voluntary basis.
Conclusion: Survey results highlighted gaps in the Canadian population’s knowledge on challenges faced by Indigenous members of Canada. Many respondents recognized an inadequate primary and/or secondary education on Indigenous issues, suggesting a need for educational reform. Increasing awareness on Indigenous matters can potentially reduce discrimination and systemic racism, which can improve social determinants of health. This data can serve as an informal basis of knowledge until further research is conducted.
The Use of Email and Secure Messaging between Residents and Patients at St. Michael’s Family Medicine Residency Program
Authors: Javaid Sabahat , DeRocher MaryBeth 
Published: November 2021

Background: The use of email and secure messaging between physicians and patients is increasing in frequency. P PHowever, residents lack formal training in e-communication, patient privacy and other confidentiality issues associated with it. There is also a paucity of assessment tools and faculty feedback regarding this practice.Objective: The objective is to investigate use of email and secure messaging between patients and residents at St. Michael’s family medicine residency program and analyze educational constructs, facilitators, and barriers relevant to this practice.Methods: Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted at St. Michael’s family medicine residency program in 2018-2020. Each resident in postgraduate year 1 & 2 received an email inviting them to respond.
Results: The prevalence of residents using email or secure messaging is increasing (47% in 2018 vs 81% in 2020). Over 86% of FM residents used hospital/clinic computers in 2020 but the proportion of residents using personal computers rose to 60% that year. A prominent barrier appears to be the ‘potential for inappropriate use by patients’, which was cited as ‘fairly’ or ‘very’ important at rates of 85.3%, 86.9%, and 73.68% in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 76.4% and 56.52% of residents cited lack of consistent advice/guidelines as a barrier in the years 2018 and 2019, respectively. The perception of support has risen (33.3% residents reporting supervisors as ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ supportive versus 57.8% in 2020). The majority reported ‘rarely’ or ‘never’ getting feedback/guidance from their supervisors.Conclusions: Our study found an increase in the use of email and secure messaging. Residents are increasingly using their personal computers which likely reflects the increase in virtual models of care. Residents have concerns regarding the appropriate use of such messaging by patients. Lack of supervision may pose a risk of patient confidentiality/privacy breach. There is a need for curricular re-design and faculty development around this practice.

Особливості ведення війн та збройних конфліктів вказують на те, що для забезпечення живучості військових формувань, які приймають участь в операціях (бойових діях), одним із пріоритетів є своєчасне повернення до строю пошкоджених зразків озброєння та військової техніки. Успіх виконання завдань під час ведення збройного протистояння в значній мірі буде залежати не тільки від вогневих і ударних можливостей угруповань військ (сил), але і від того, як швидко вони зможуть відновити свою боєздатність в умовах впливу сучасних засобів ураження. Завдання щодо своєчасного відновлення озброєння та військової техніки, в ході ведення операцій (бойових дій) покладається на ремонтно-відновлювальні органи від яких залежить рівень укомплектованості військ (сил) справними зразками озброєння та військової техніки.
В статті проведено аналіз умов та факторів, які впливали на систему відновлення озброєння та військової техніки в широкомасштабних операціях у Другій Світовій Війні та в локальних війнах в Афганістані, в операції російських військ в Першій Чеченській кампанії. Розкриті основні проблеми з якими стикались ремонтно-відновлювальні підрозділи та частини під час відновлення озброєння та військової техніки в цих війнах та локальних збройних конфліктах з метою визначення характерних проблемних питань, що призводять до зниження рівня боєздатності військ.
