Mire’s Interpretation of the Tragic and Paradoxical World of Oscar Wilde
Authors: Mikhailova Maria , Kudritskaya Sofya 
Published: November 2021

This article analyzes the reception of the figure of O. Wilde, the 19th-century English writer, and his works in the prose and criticism of Alexandra Mikhailovna Moiseeva (1874-1913), who entered the history of Russian literature of the Silver Age by the name of “Mire”. The study focuses mainly on her story Black Panther (1909), in which the author provides an original perspective on the tragic love episode in Wilde’s life. Attention is also paid to the thematic similarities between the works of Wilde and Mire in terms of genre, plot and literary image, as well as Mire’s interpretation of Wilde’s works in her critical reviews.

The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Strategic Analysis Model outlines areas where the role of the media is important during a pandemic, so these areas may be selected to examine how the Lithuanian media perform their public information function during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study of the content of the Lithuanian media clarifies whether the media take into account the areas that, according to the WEF strategic analysis model, the media has an impact during the COVID-19 outbreak. This should provide new insights into the priorities and communication strategies of the Lithuanian media, especially in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The aim of the article is to present three Lithuanian online newspapers quantitative and qualitative research and, in the context of the WEF Strategic Analysis model and, based on the data obtained, to assess the role of the Lithuanian media during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been established that during the pandemic, Lithuanian online media pay sufficient attention to the topic of general governance: good and bad cases of health crisis management are shown to the public. However, during the research it became clear that international news on the topic of global governance dominates in Lithuanian news media: the media pay more attention to events in the international arena, and the challenges of Lithuania‘s internal management account for only a fifth of all information in the researched online newspapers. The article was prepared by Vilnius University journalism master students (2020).
Identifikasi Amplitudo dan Sudut Kedatangan Sinyal Menggunakan Metode Forward-Backward APES pada Radar Multi-Antena
Authors: Sapriansa Sapriansa , Tahcfulloh Syahfrizal 
Published: November 2021

Jenis sistem radar multi-antena ada dua macam yaitu phased-array (PA) dan Multiple-input Multiple-Output (MIMO). Parameter yang digunakan untuk menguji kinerja radar PA dan MIMO ada banyak sekali yang salah satunya adalah estimasi parameter yang berkaitan dengan jumlah target deteksi. Estimasi parameter termasuk di dalamnya yaitu sudut kedatangan sinyal (direction of arrival, DoA) dan amplitudo sinyal pantulan. Penelitian ini mengusulkan perluasan dari pendekatan estimasi parameter yaitu amplitudo and phase estimation (APES) yang dinamakan forward-backward APES (FBAPES). Pendekatan ini memberikan perbaikan resolusi terhadap estimasi amplitudo dan DoA dari sinyal pantulan target radar yang dikomparasikan dengan estimator konvensional seperti least squares (LS). Formulasi dan evaluasi kinerja estimator yang diusulkan akan diuji berdasarkan berbagai faktor seperti besar radar cross section (RCS), resolusi sudut antar dua target, dan jumlah elemen antena di transmitter-receiver (Tx-Rx). Resolusi sudut deteksi yang diperoleh untuk estimator ini lebih baik dari estimator LS, sebagai contoh untuk M = N = 8 maka diperoleh resolusi sudut 3o sedangkan estimator LS sebesar 5,8o. There are two types of multi-antenna radar systems, i.e. the phased-array (PA) and the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). There are many parameters used to test the performance of the PA and the MIMO radars, one of which is parameter estimation related to the number of detection targets. Estimated parameters include the angle of arrival of the signal (direction of arrival, DoA) and the amplitude of the reflected signal. This study proposes an extension of the parameter estimation approach, namely amplitude and phase estimation (APES), which is called forward-backward APES (FBAPES). This approach provides improved resolution of the amplitude and DoA estimates of the reflected radar target signal compared to conventional estimators such as least squares (LS). The formulation and evaluation of the performance of the proposed estimator will be carried out based on various factors such as variations in radar cross section (RCS), angular resolution between two targets, and the number of antenna elements in the transmitter-receiver (Tx-Rx). The resolution of the detection angle obtained for this estimator is better than the LS estimator, for example for M = N = 8 then the angle resolution is 3o while the LS estimator is 5.8o.

Published: November 2021

Objective: to translate, adapt, and identify the psychometric properties of the Selfitis Behavior Scale (SBS). Methods: online study conducted with 261 Brazilian adolescents. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process followed international guidelines, resulting in an adequate scale with face, content and construct validity. Results: The five factors explained 78.2% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (structural equation model for latent variables) showed an adequate fit of the five-factor model with χ2= 2.42 p=0.001, GFI=0.92, AGFI= 0.89, NNFI= 0.92, TLI= 0.96, CFI= 0.93, RMSEA= 0.041. All factor loadings were statistically different from zero (0; t >1.96, p<0.05). The total internal consistency value by Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega was above 0.80 and the internal consistencies of each factor were above 0.79. Conclusion: This is the first Brazilian study to evaluate the psychometric properties of a selfie scale. The SBS proved to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess selfie behavior.

Physalis macrophysa (Solanaceae: Physalinae: subgenus Rydbergis), its taxonomic disposition and relation to other material with large inflated fruiting calyces
Authors: Pyne Milo , Orzell Steve L. , Bridges Edwin L. 
Published: November 2021

Examination of the lectotype and isotype material of Physalis macrophysa Rydb. show its compatibility with P. longifolia, having nearly glabrous, ovate-lanceolate to broadly lanceolate leaves, and the presence of short, simple antrorse hairs on the petioles and pedicels. Other than its large inflated fruiting calyces (3.0–4.0 cm × 2.5–3.0 cm), it has little in common morphologically with another large inflated calyced Physalis macrosperma which is endemic to deep sands from a portion of the West Gulf Coastal Plain of the United States. Instead, P. longifolia has stems and pedicles that are either nearly glabrous or with antrorse, appressed, non-glandular hair and ovate-lanceolate leaves versus short glandular and non-glandular, spreading, upright hair and cordate to truncate leaves in the aforementioned Physalis macrosperma. We agree with previous authors that P. macrophysa Rydb., if meriting taxonomic status, should be treated as P. longifolia var. subglabrata (Mack. & Bush) Cronquist forma macrophysa (Rydb.) Steyermark or, alternatively, it may simply represent variation within P. longifolia not deserving of any taxonomic status.
Nomenclature and redescription of the Jaumave Valley (Mexico) populations of Astrophytum myriostigma (Cactaceae)
Authors: Montanucci Richard R. , Kleszewski Klaus-Peter 
Published: November 2021

Astrophytum myriostigma Lem. subsp. quadricostatum (H. Moller) K. Kayser and Astrophytum myriostigma Lem. subsp. tamaulipense K. Kayser are both validly published names, but the subspecific epithet quadricostatum has priority (published in 1927) over tamaulipense (published in 1932) and is, therefore, the correct name for the Jaumave Valley Bishop’s Cap. The Jaumave Valley populations have differentiated from subsp. myriostigma in several morphological characters. Both taxa have distinctly different stem morphology as seedlings but become similar in early maturity, although older Jaumave plants are usually slightly taller and more slender than subsp. myriostigma. As seedlings several years of age, the Jaumave plants have a slender, elongate stem resembling that of subsp. tulense K. Kayser, but they differ from both subsp. myriostigma and subsp. tulense in having black spines up to 4 mm long. The flowers of subsp. quadricostatum are slightly smaller and have fewer tepal rows than those of subsp. myriostigma. The smallest flowers, with one or two tepal rows, are typically found in subsp. tulense. Further comparisons among the three taxa must await the completion of studies now in progress.
Multivariate morphometric analysis of taxonomic relationships in Eleocharis tenuis (Cyperaceae)
Authors: Gibbons Lane D. , McMullen Conley K. 
Published: November 2021

Morphology of Eleocharis tenuis is traditionally recognized as being highly variable and delimited only to the level of variety. However, novel morphometric data indicate that the varieties of E. tenuis are unique and well delimited by four of ten characters examined in this study. Furthermore, these unique morphological entities are supported by correlating cytological data. Herein, we treat E. tenuis var. verrucosa at the rank of species, as E. verrucosa, to reflect the evolutionary significance of this entity. We also provide a key to distinguish E. verrucosa from the remaining varieties of E. tenuis.

Floristic survey of vascular plants in Crawford and Cherokee Counties in southeastern Kansas, U.S.A.
Authors: Young Pryer Samantha , Snow Neil , Kartesz John 
Published: November 2021

This study documented the vascular flora of Crawford and Cherokee counties in southeastern Kansas. Each county experienced limited collecting in recent decades. A Pittsburg State University (PSU) student (Earl Sam Gibson) summarized the flora for Crawford County in 1963, but an extensive survey had never been done for Cherokee County. Fieldwork for the present study occurred mostly in 2014 and 2015. Based on approximately 6450 newly collected specimens, vouchers at PSU (including those of Gibson), and taxa documented by Biota of North America (BONAP) (Kartesz 2019), a total of 1420 unique taxa (species, subspecies and varieties) are reported for both counties combined, including 148 families, 591 genera, and 111 non-nominal infraspecific taxa. Of these, 1177 (82.9%) are native and 243 (17.1%) are non-native. A total of 44 state and 233 county records are documented. Included were 15 species of hybrid origin and 22 that are adventive from other parts of North America. Significant among the state records is the first published adventive occurrence of the genus Pinus in Kansas. Cherokee County has 1281 taxa (including 81 county records), whereas Crawford County includes 1139 taxa (and 152 county records). An important finding of our study, along with those of other recent floristic studies, is that vascular plant distributions at the state and county levels in the U.S.A. are less well documented than probably assumed. This is especially true for weedy taxa occurring in highly agricultural and industrial counties, as well as taxa with small, inconspicuous flowers and inflorescences, and counties relatively distant from universities. Undocumented occurrences of such taxa may adversely affect interpretations and distribution patterns of abundance, as for example when modeling plant distributions.

Published: November 2021

One technique that has been drawing the attention of producers is the induced fermentation of the fruits. In the induced fermentation process, the fermentation speed is increased, but environmental interferences with different microbiota can alter the fermentation process, making it difficult to repeat the results. The objective was to induce anaerobic fermentations in coffee fruits, through different processes, aiming at modifying the sensory profile of the beverage. The experiment was conducted in 2019, with ‘Mundo Novo IAC-379/19’ coffee fruits, which came from full harvest, with 70% of fruits in the parchment stage. On the day of harvest, the coffee was separated into 78 experimental plots, each containing 10 L. The treatments used were: addition extract of Citrus reticulata, Carica papaya, Ananas comosus, Eucalyptus spp. leaf and addition of sugar, at concentration of 10% in aqueous solution (stored in 12 L buckets) and treatment with water only. 24 and 48h fermentation periods were tested, besides two processing methods, natural and with peeled fruits. In addition, the fruits were tested without induced fermentation for natural and peeled coffee. It is concluded that the treatment with fermentation induced for 24 h without the addition of extracts in wet processing yielded coffees of better sensory quality, with a final score of 85.33. The wet processing of coffee fruits without the addition of extracts, immersed in water for 24 h, yielded better sensory quality. The addition of Ananas comosus extracts implies a reduction in the sensory quality of coffee in the induced fermentation process.

Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil. is a native species in Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Propagation is carried out by seeds that have a low germination rate and morphophysiological dormancy. In order to increase the germination percentage, stratification treatments and emergence monitoring were tested. For this, yerba mate seeds were subjected to stratification treatments: Treatment 1 - seeds between two sand layers; Treatment 2 - seeds between two sand layers and commercial substrate covered with corn straw; Treatment 3 - seeds between two sand layers with the addition of 4.0 g "L" ^"-1" of slow-release fertilizer (16-8-12 - 6 months); Treatment 4 - seeds between two sand layers covered with corn straw; and a control treatment - seeds without stratification. The stratification period for all treatments was 180 days, and at 120, 150, and 180 days, 100 seeds were removed per repetition from each treatment for emergence tests, with weekly observation for 180-days in a completely randomized design. After that period, the tetrazolium test was performed with the seeds that did not emerge. At 120-days of stratification there was no emergence and at 150-days it was 0.83%. At 180-days, treatment 3 showed the highest percentage - 13.19%. Seeds without stratification do not germinate and after 180-days of emergence the amount of non-viable seeds increased in all treatments. Stratification in sand with slow-release fertilizer favors the emergence of yerba mate seedlings.

Published: November 2021

Background: A drug therapy problem (DTP) is any undesirable event experienced by a patient that involves or is suspected to involve, drug therapy, and that interferes with achieving the desired goals of therapy. The improper use of drugs can lead to patient morbidity and even mortality. DTP s are the clinical territory of the pharmaceutical care practitioner and the resolution of identifying the DTPs help patients to achieve their goals of therapy. Identifying DTPs enables risk quantification and determination of the potential impact of prevention strategies. DTPs are associated with prolonged length of stay and increased economic burden and results in increased risk of death.Methods: A hospital based, prospective observational study was conducted at department of medicine in Rajah Muthiah medical college and hospital, 80 patients were enrolled in this study based on the inclusion-exclusion criteria. The DTPs were identified using the Cipolle’s method of classification of DTP.Results: The study has shown that 80 of the patients involved in the study had a total of 136 DTPs. An average of 1.7 DTPs were recorded per patient during the study. The most common DTP identified was unnecessary drug therapy accounting to 47%. The absence of valid medical indication was (30%) and (16%) were due to the duplication of therapy. The second most common DTP was unsafe drug for patients, accounting to 45% were due to patient non-compliance and drug interaction which was minor. Need for additional drug therapy was the third most identified accounting 13% were due to medical indication indicate the need of drug therapy.Conclusions: The foremost commonly observed DTP is unnecessary therapy and patient non-compliance to the drugs. The study suggests that DTPs are significantly occurring in hospital can cause the patient for comorbidity, prolonged hospitalization. The study suggests that clinical pharmacist and general practitioners can work together to spot and resolve the DTPs.
Use of levocetrizine in the management of type IV hypersensitivity to lidocaine: a case report
Authors: Dey Mansi , Mishra Bibhu Prasad , Sahoo Abhijeeta 
Published: November 2021

Lidocaine is a commonly used local anesthetic in the field of dentistry. It has been known to cause allergic reactions, mainly immunoglobulin (IgE)-mediated and T-cell –mediated type IV reactions, which require the use of alternative drugs without adverse effects. Here we present the case of a 29 year old female patient who developed Type IV hypersensitivity reaction in the vicinity of the injection site after the administration of lidocaine local anesthetic for performing exodontia. Levocetrizine tablet was prescribed in order to relieve the symptoms of the reaction. Levocetrizine is a selective, potent, oral histamine H(1) receptor antagonist that is used for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria. It has been reported to be effective and generally well tolerated by the patients. In our case also it was able to cure Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to lidocaine without producing any adverse events. Apart from curing allergic rhinitis and urticaria, levocetrizine is a wonderful option for treating Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to a local anesthetic, and it hardly produces any adverse effect. More cases are required to be reported in the future in order to support this article.
Anatoly Lunacharsky&apos;s Educational-Anthropological Image of Society
Authors: Pilyugina Margarita 
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes the understanding of society by Anatoly Lunacharsky. It is shown that his approach is characterized as a synthetic and a holistic one. To substantiate it, the thesis of Lunacharsky on the attitude of politics and economics to culture, is used. On the basis of his works and speeches, this necessary (and interdependent) intersection is traced and revealed, which ensures a harmonious state of society, proposed by him as a program idea. The article concludes that for Lunacharsky the progressive development of society is carried out thanks to the interaction of the spheres of culture, economics and politics, which can be defined as an educational and anthropological project.
Applied Linguists
Authors: Rajagopalan Kanavillil 
Published: November 2021

This paper seeks out future directions for the field of study that has by now fully consolidated itself as an independent discipline under the name of Applied Linguistics. Special attention is drawn to the ‘loosening up’ of the very notion of language as a hermetically sealed entity, impervious to outside influences, as well as the groundbreaking critical turn it has taken in recent years, along with the impulse to intervene in the states of affairs that it unveils through painstaking studies. It is shown that this last development is by no means an optional follow-through from the analytic work customarily done. Rather, it is an inevitable sequel to the new stance adopted by researchers in the field – a development whose roots can, oddly enough, be traced back to Saussure’s thoughts at the very dawn of Linguistics, its ‘mother discipline’. But it is also emphasized that, side by side with these exciting prospects, there also appear on the horizon some serious challenges to reckon with in the years ahead.
