On the Front Lines in Food Policy
Authors: Aunio Anna-Liisa , Dube Laurette 
Published: August 2021

This paper reports a multi-year design-based implementation research (DBIR) that examines practical issues, challenges, and innovations faced by the Montreal food polity in transforming food systems for alleviating insecurity in vulnerable populations. Community organizations in three geographically distinct neighbourhoods were engaged in three distinct city-level collaborative engagement initiatives (coalition of neighbourhood roundtables; place-based philanthropy initiative-CIP; food system policy council-C-SAM). The later city-level initiatives stemmed from different historical and institutional contexts and afforded different types and amounts of capabilities in support of community organizations. Our results underscore the rich diversity not only in how local communities organize themselves over time but also how they welcome or not scaling-up or capacity building initiatives like CIP and C-SAM. As part of the same complex and dynamic adaptive system observed at any stage of its evolution, individual organizations and collaborative platforms observed in this research were all having their respective historical trajectories and future aspirations in terms of composition, capabilities, goals, achievement, and challenges. Contributions to food systems research are three-fold: Isomorphism, Discursive Frame, and Decoupling between Norms and Action. Our research demonstrates that neighborhoods, like nation-states, exhibit different pathways to adoption, adaptation, and decoupling action from norms when cities become part of an international regime. The outcome of cities signing on to new international agreements are similarly symbolic in nature. Yet organizations and neighborhoods respond to these by adopting the discursive agendas of these new norms while, at the same time, exhibiting different pathways in policy and planning depending on their neighborhood histories, structure, and capacity. We close with a discussion of different path dependencies that vary by location.
Non-destructive characterization of bronze objects from Ráksi and the Pusztasárkánytó depot find
Authors: Maróti Boglárka , Káli György 
Published: August 2021

AbstractEight ornaments and a dagger were analyzed using completely non-destructive techniques to determine their alloy compositions and to draw conclusions about the production technology. Prompt-gamma activation analysis and time-of-flight neutron diffraction proved that the studied objects are tin-bronzes. Difference was observed in the amounts of ore-related minor components (arsenic, silver, nickel) of the objects belonging to the two distinct archaeological sites. Based on the diffraction analysis of the microstructure, the objects are casts that were exposed to different degrees of manufacturing to reach their final forms.
Stele con cimasa orizzontale con coppia di leoni da Viminacium
Authors: Pilipović Sanja 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe goal of this paper1 was to shed light on the existence of stelae from Viminacium in the province of Upper Moesia which can be classified as topped by the two reclining lions. This type of stelae, surmounted by two lions and one element between them, was well-known in Noricum and Pannonia. There was no archaeological evidence and previous studies did not point out that this type of stelae was present in Viminacium and Upper Moesia. The study has shown that stelae of M. Valerius Speratus, T. Baebius Eutyches, and most probably of C. Corneilus Rufus, although not preserved in integral form today, were surmounted by the pediment, most likely with two reclining lions.
Roman imperial age belt mounting with scene from Nemeske
Authors: Gábor Olivér , Vaday Andrea 
Published: August 2021

AbstractNemeske still belongs to the sparsely researched area of Baranya County. Here during plowing human bones came to light. Archaeologists of the Janus Pannonius Museum conducted a rescue excavation and an instrumental survey, too. During the excavation three Árpádian period tombs were found. In surway trenches traces of several demolished Roman walls were observed. The most interesting find is a bronze plate depicting an armed rider, a lion and an altar.
Chronological observations and the origin of the appearance of red slip coating on Árpád Age cauldron fragments in the light of the excavations at Végegyháza, Zsibrik-domb site

Published: August 2021

AbstractBetween 2003 and 2008 a research excavation was undertaken at the site of Végegyháza, Zsibrik-domb, also known as Kaszaper Templom-domb (medieval Pereg). The present paper describes the analysis results of the Árpád Age and the late medieval period features and the artefacts within. The pottery assemblage retrieved from the investigations offers new insights into the ceramic traditions of the Árpád Age within the area, whilst the recovery of baking bell fragments of the same date constitutes some of the best evidence for its use extending into the Árpád Age within Southeast Hungary. Analysis of painted cauldron fragments recovered from the features suggests the tradition originated in the Balkans and was brought to the area by a Slav community towards the end of 12thand beginning of 13thcentury. Textual evidence suggests that the area was inhabited again by a South Slav community in the 17thcentury. The recovery of fragments of a different type of baking bell from the late medieval archaeological assemblage corroborates these few written sources. The faunal remains analysis shows that the economy practices of the studied settlement based on animal husbandry and were similar to those of other Árpád Age rural settlements within Southeast Hungary.
Molly Bassett and Applied Religious Studies at Georgia State University
Authors: Newton Richard 
Published: August 2021

With the current pandemic, the intersection of religion and health has garnered renewed attention as it potentially impacts not only what we study, but also how and where we do our work. In this edition of The Interview, Bulletin editor Richard Newton spoke with Molly Bassett, Chair of the Department of Religious Studies. Beyond her longstanding reseach interest in myth and bodies in Mesoamerican cultural history, Bassett’s department has pioneered an “Applied Religious Studies”approach to public health at the undergraduate and graduate level. Newton and Bassett discuss the story behind these efforts and the lessons they present for scholars in this moment.
Trauma-induced coagulopathy: prospective observation study
Authors: Vyshynska Mariana 
Published: August 2021

Coagulopathy remains the leading cause of illness and death in people with severe trauma.
The aim was to study the indicators of vascular-platelet hemostasis in severe trauma and to establish changes in the main pathophysiological mechanisms of primary hemostasis that occur in patients with trauma-induced coagulopathy, compared with almost healthy individuals of the same age.
Materials and methods. The study included 44 patients aged 19 to 55 years (36.1 [28.7; 43.2] years). The control group included 20 patients of the therapeutic department without preconditions for changes in the hemostasis system, and the main group - 24 patients with diagnosis of “severe trauma” who were treated in the anesthesiology and intensive care department.
Results and discussion. We studied indicators of intravascular platelet activation. Patients had a normal number of platelets in the venous blood, but the level of spherocytes and spheroechinocytes increased. On the 3rd day after the injury, number of platelets in the venous blood was normal, however the level of discocytes decreased, and the level of discochinocytes, spheroechinocytes and the sum of active forms of platelets increased. On the fifth day, the level of discochinocytes and active forms of platelets, significantly higher (p<0.05) among patients of the main group, and spherocytes, spheroechinocytes and platelets involved in the aggregates, were significantly lower than in the control group of patients (p<0.05).
Conclusions. Indicators of vascular-platelet hemostasis in patients with polytrauma had significant differences from those of the control group. This may be evidence of activation of the vascular-platelet system of the hemostasis system and may be a prerequisite for late thrombotic complications in patients with polytrauma
Undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia as a predictor of heart rate disorders in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease in children
Authors: Herasymova Oksana , Filonova Tetiana 
Published: August 2021

The aim: to improve the early diagnosis of arrhythmia in combination with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children, by studying the risk of connective tissue dysplasia on the occurrence of this pathology.
Materials and methods. We examined 100 children aged 8 to 18 years, mean age 13.7±2.7 years, of which 32 children with arrhythmias without combined pathology were group I, 36 children with concomitant GERD - group II and 32 children with GERD without concomitant arrhythmias - group III. Patients underwent clinical and instrumental studies (electrocardiography, Holter daily ECG monitoring, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and pH-metry) and evaluation of phenotypic signs of NDST according to the criteria of T. Milkovskaya-Dimitrova and A. Karkasho.
Results. A risk factor for the formation of combined pathology in children in the form of arrhythmia and GERD was identified, namely the next main phenotypic feature of NDST (undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia) – dysplastic tooth growth.
Also, predictors of both an isolated variant of arrhythmia in children and arrhythmia in combination with GERD – high height and scoliotic posture were identified.
In this case, the risk factor for an isolated variant of arrhythmia in children, according to the results of the study is asthenic constitution.
The severity of NDST in the studied groups was determined. The analysis of the results revealed the absence of a statistically significant relationship between the severity of NDST and study groups, although it should be noted that in children of group III the first degree of NDST was not observed in general.
Conclusions. It was found that asthenic constitution, dysplastic tooth growth, tall stature and scoliotic posture are statistically significant risk factors for the development of the studied pathologies.
There were no statistically significant differences between the study groups regarding the severity of NDST, but there was a complete lack of detection in children of group III (children with isolated GERD without concomitant arrhythmia) of the first degree of NDST

Authors: Holovina Nina , Holovin Mykola 
Published: August 2021

To bring the theoretical basis to the improvement of the methodic of carrying out laboratory works in physics and computer sciences, a study of psychological and cognitive processes that accompany the corresponding educational activity was held. The important moment of the work is the research of the mental side of educational activities in the terms of formal logic. The accompanying steps to these mental activities and the talk activity are considered. The content component of the talk activity was considered in the work as an important diagnostic factor that indicates the level of understanding of the nature of the new material or the completion of the corresponding cognitive structure. The original graphical ways of formalization of the cognitive scheme of the object activity and the logic of its formation in the context of mental and materialized education activities are presented. These ideas were used to consider the processes of educational activity on the example of the creation of a simple physical model that is realized through the Python talk with the help of Visual library. Educational activities are considered through the prism of the evolution of the structural organization of mental representation of the objects of this activity.
The research demonstrates the cyclical nature of the corresponding cognitive processes, materialized activities, and hierarchical character of the structure of knowledge that is formed in the process of educational activities in physics and programming. The correlation of these processes with the dynamics of the evolution of knowledge is settled. The conceptual ideas that could be useful for modifications of the methodic of realization of laboratory knowledge in the direction of modeling of physical processes and phenomena are formulated. Individual algorithmic problems of modeling of physical processes are considered in the research as components of the holistic system of problems. According to the point of view of the authors, in the course of the preparation of highly professional specialists in the domain of natural sciences, it is necessary to devote a lot of time to the conscious, goal-oriented formation of protocols of abstract logical and causal thinking. The methodology of such work is well formulated, especially in the well-known methods of descending step-by-step detailing and in modular programming
Formation of intercultural competence as a pedagogical problem
Authors: Nechyporuk Nataliia 
Published: August 2021

As knowledge of English becomes a priority for the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a modern military specialist is faced with a number of requirements, one of which is the formation of professionally oriented intercultural competence. Thus, a cadet, who has a certain conceptual and terminological apparatus in his/her specialization, has the opportunity to test his/her own knowledge and skills, to provide self-analysis of the level of formation of both intercultural and subject competences, as well as to receive an impartial feedback from foreign experts on the readiness for professional activity.
The article considers the main notions that reveal the conceptual field of intercultural competence. The concepts of "competence", "competency", "culture", "intercultural competence" are defined and their historical-comparative analysis is carried out. It is found, that the professional training of cadets is carried out as a complex pedagogical influence, which has the purpose of developing a number of competences, among which the priority is currently considered to be intercultural competence. The essence of the concept of "competence" and variations of its interpretation by scientists, as well as differentiation with the concept of "competency", are clarified. The role of the humanities in general and the foreign language in particular in the development of professional competences of military specialists is noted.
The generic function of the competence approach, which combines many traditional approaches, is mentioned. Intercultural competence is presented as a system of interconnected elements that position the personality in interaction with society through communication, which, in turn, is a means of adapting to the cultural values ​​of society and acquiring educational competences to form a qualified graduate of a higher military educational institution.
The hierarchy of competences is defined, which consists of three levels: general, special and professional, which are represented by integral, general and professional competences, respectively

Military radio communication systems are the basis of special purpose control systems and the object of the enemy’s primary influence. Therefore, the issue of increasing the noise immunity of military radio communication systems is important and needs further research. Thus, the object of the research was chosen to be a military radio communication system. Maintaining a given level of noise immunity for military radio systems is one of the key issues in radio resource management, the effective management of which allows the use of the entire suitable frequency range for the transmission (reception) of electromagnetic energy by radio electronic devices. A number of works have been devoted to the ways search for increasing the noise immunity of military radio communication systems. One such way is to develop new (improve existing) approaches for assessing the effectiveness of military radio interference management. This work solves the problem of improving the method of multicriteria management effectiveness evaluation of the structure and parameters of the military radio systems noise protection.
The scientific problem is solved by the devices of multicriteria estimation of the of noise protection level of the military radio communication system, graphic display of the executed and not executed tasks, the aggregation scheme of formation of the integrated estimation of noise protection. The research used scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, also the theory provisions of signal-code structures and the provisions of the complex technical systems theory.
The peculiarity of the proposed improvement of the methodology is the multi-criteria assessment of the noise immunity level of the military radio communication system in the conditions of radio electronic conflict. The proposed technique allows:
– to evaluate the effectiveness of noise protection management;
– to substantiate the optimal configuration of the military radio communication system in solving the problems of noise protection management in the conditions of radio electronic conflict;
– to identify the ways to increase noise immunity at the stage of operational management of the military radio communication system in the conditions of electronic conflict.
The results of the research should be used in assessing the effectiveness of management of noise protection of military radio communication systems and determining the optimal structure and parameters of military radio systems.

Published: August 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to carry out the translation and present the evidence of validity of the Brazilian version of the interRAI Emergency Screener for Psychiatry (ESP). Method: this is a cross-sectional study conducted in a municipal hospital in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. A total of 161 patients were evaluated in the first 24 hours of emergency arrival using ESP. Exploratory factor analyses of the sections of the instrument and reliability analyses were conducted using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's Omega. Results: the analyses suggested an appropriate structure to the purpose of the instrument, two sections containing two factors instead of the expected one-dimensional structure. However, sections with two factors have interpretability and theoretical consistency. The factors presented internal consistency. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the interRAI Emergency Screener for Psychiatry (ESP) demonstrates adequate psychometric properties through the internal structure of the instrument. Future studies should investigate the relationship of the scores produced by the instrument with clinical diagnosis and with covariates relevant to mental health outcomes.
The Potential of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the Pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 11 in Zimbabwe
Authors: Masekesa Liberty Kudzai 
Published: August 2021

The international community has recognised cities as important drivers of development and poverty reduction by including SDG 11 in the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Even though the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do not have any legal force, SDG 11 seeks to make cities and human settlements across the world "inclusive", "safe", "resilient" and "sustainable" by 2030. While cognisant of the interdependence of these qualifiers, this article focusses on the issue of "sustainability" in the light of the view that a city cannot be said to be sustainable unless it is inclusive, safe and resilient. Cities on the path to a sustainable future are expected in terms of SDG 11 to invest in public infrastructure to provide services to local communities in a sustainable manner. Due to limited fiscal space, urban local authorities in Zimbabwe, as elsewhere, would have to harness private sector participation in infrastructure investment through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to transition to a sustainable future.
This article interrogates the extent to which the constitutional, legislative and policy frameworks in Zimbabwe enable urban local authorities to adopt and implement PPPs in order to achieve their mandate and by extension to realise local sustainability as envisaged in terms of SDG 11. The analysis reveals varied results about the potential of PPPs to contribute towards local sustainability in Zimbabwe. It is further argued that the legal framework underpinning PPPs has some generic features that could enhance their relevance and potential in the pursuit of sustainable cities in Zimbabwe.
