Comparative Analysis of Paired Correlations Structure Between Psychological Scales in Relation to Groups of Different Sizes
Authors: Kosenkov A. 
Published: December 2021

Purpose: To propose a procedure for comparative analysis of correlation relationships structure between psychological scales in samples of different sizes.
Material and methods: A procedure of comparative analysis of correlation relationships structure between psychological indicators in groups of different sizes based on the «zet» method of R. Fisher is proposed. To illustrate the method, data from psychodiagnostic surveys of the nuclear power plant (NPP) personnel who worked in normal conditions and the personnel of the Chernobyl NPP at four different stages of aftermath activities in 1986–1987 were used. All the subjects performed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI); the results of each of the groups were subjected to a correlation analysis using the Pearson method. The analysis took into account average (0.5 ≤ r < 0.7) and strong (r ≥ 0.7) correlations.
Results: Using the example of a number of psychodiagnostic examinations of the Chernobyl NPP personnel at various stages of aftermath activities, it is shown that the structure of correlation relationships between the MMPI scales can reflect the peculiarities of mental adaptation of professional teams working in regular and extreme conditions.
It was shown that in the aftermath process by March–April 1987, the number of medium and strong pairwise Pearson correlations between the clinical MMPI scales increased. This fact apparently indicates that during this period, the NPP personnel were characterized by the simultaneous activation of various mechanisms of intrapsychic adaptation. The core of the correlation pleiad consisted of scales 1, 2, 7, and 8. Such a multidirectional reaction to the aftermath stressors was accompanied by a statistically significant increase in almost all clinical scales (except scale 6) of the average MMPI profile in comparison with the control group. The absence of stable correlations of clinical scales with the F scale indicates that the marked increase in the MMPI profile was not associated with a tendency to aggravation.
By the period of November–December 1987, the hypochondria scale occupied a leading place in the correlation pleiad of the MMPI indicators of the Chernobyl NPP personnel, the number of its significant connections with other clinical scales (2, 3, 7 and 8) reached four. Apparently, the mechanism of anxiety somatization at that time could be considered as a syndrome-forming factor and taken into account when planning rehabilitation and health measures.
Conclusion: The use of the proposed method of the strength standardization of pairwise correlation relationships between the MMPI scales allowed us to legitimately compare these indicators in groups that differ significantly in number. The chosen representation form of correlations facilitates the analysis of their structure.

Authors: Pakosz Paweł , Lukanova-Jakubowska Anna , Łuszczki Edyta , Gnoiński Mariusz , García-García Oscar 
Published: December 2021

Background
The purpose of this study was to identify the biomedical signals of short-track athletes by evaluating the effects of monthly strength training on changes in their neuromuscular profile, strength, and power parameters of the lower limb muscles. Muscle asymmetry, which can cause a risk of injury, was also evaluated.

Methods and results
This study involved female athletes, age 18.8 ± 2.7 years, with a height of 162 ± 2.4 cm, and weight of 55.9 ± 3.9 kg. Before and after the monthly preparatory period prior to the season, strength measurements were assessed through the Swift SpeedMat platform, and reactivity of the lower limb muscles was assessed with tensiomyography (TMG). The athletes were also tested before and after the recovery training period. In the test after strength training, all average countermovement jump (CMJ) results improved. Flight time showed an increase with a moderate to large effect, using both legs (5.21%). Among the TMG parameters, time contraction (Tc) changed globally with a decrease (-5.20%). Changes in the results of the test after recovery training were most often not significant.

Conclusion
A monthly period of strength training changes the neuromuscular profile of short-track female athletes, with no significant differences between the right and left lower limbs.

L’anxiete langagiere en classe de français : les attitudes des lyceens polonais envers l’enseignement/apprentissage de l’oral
Authors: Lipińska Julia 
Published: December 2021

While learning a foreign language, students have to practice speaking through different activities in class. Unfortunately, speaking is often a challenge for students not only due to linguistic difficulties, but most importantly because of the stress caused by talking in a foreign language in front of their classmates. This phenomenon, called language anxiety, makes it impossible for some students to participate actively and thus to develop their speaking abilities. It is therefore important to understand which types of tasks cause the highest anxiety levels, as well as to find out what can help students overcome their anxiety. To answer these questions, we led a research among Polish high school students learning French. They were asked about their attitudes towards different speaking activities in class, as well as about the atmosphere in class. The results show students are the most stressed while speaking in front of their peers and prefer interaction in small groups. Language games also appear to lower the level of anxiety during speaking. In addition, positive atmosphere and lack of judgment help students overcome their fear, but they do not eliminate it completely for every person.
Chrześcijańsko-muzułmańskie relacje w Azji Centralnej do czasów Timura (XIV wiek)
Authors: Kluj Wojciech 
Published: December 2021

W czasach, kiedy mówi się o upadku chrześcijańskiej kultury Zachodu, warto przyjrzeć się pewnej analogii sprzed siedmiu wieków. Pierwsze tysiąclecie rozwoju wiary w Azji doprowadziło do powstania wielu wybitnych syntez teologicznych. Wydało też wielu świętych męczenników i misjonarzy. Chrześcijaństwo to miało również swoje doświadczenie takiej relacji z islamem, że pomimo pewnych prześladowań nie traciło ducha misyjnego i do XIII w. stale się rozwijało. Przełom nastąpił dopiero z powodu wojen mongolskich i to dopiero za czasów Timura. Dlaczego Timur przyjął islam, pomimo niemałej obecności chrześcijan w jego otoczeniu? Nie brakowało wtedy ani wybitnych uczonych chrześcijańskich (podobnie jak muzułmańskich). Poza możliwymi powodami osobistymi, prawdopodobnie zadecydowały o tym względy większego zakorzeniania islamu wśród mas prostej ludności Azji Centralnej, w którym ważną rolę odegrał „zakon” Nakszbandijja.
The role of w-tilting modules in relative Gorenstein (co)homology

Published: December 2021

AbstractLetRRbe a ring,CCbe a leftRR-module andS=EndR(C)S={{\rm{End}}}_{R}\left(C). WhenCCis semidualizing, the Auslander classAC(S){{\mathcal{A}}}_{C}\left(S)and the Bass classℬC(R){{\mathcal{ {\mathcal B} }}}_{C}\left(R)associated withCChave been the subject of extensive investigations. It has been proved that these classes, also known as Foxby classes, are one of the central concepts of (relative) Gorenstein homological algebra. In this paper, we answer several natural questions which arise when we weaken the condition ofCCbeing semidualizing: if we letCCbe w-tilting (see Definition 2.1), we establish the conditions for the pair(AC(S),AC(S)⊥1)\left({{\mathcal{A}}}_{C}\left(S),{{\mathcal{A}}}_{C}{\left(S)}^{{\perp }_{1}})to be a perfect cotorsion theory and for the pair(BC⊥1(R),BC(R))\left({}^{{\perp }_{1}}B_{C}\left(R),{B}_{C}\left(R))to be a complete hereditary cotorsion theory. This tells us when the classes of Auslander and Bass are preenveloping and precovering, which generalizes a number of results disseminated in the literature. We investigate Gorenstein flat modules relative to a not necessarily semidualizing moduleCCand we find conditions for the class ofGC{G}_{C}-projective modules to be special precovering, the class ofGC{G}_{C}-flat modules to be covering, the one of GorensteinCC-projective modules to be precovering and that of GorensteinCC-injective modules to be preenveloping. We also find how to recover Foxby classes fromAddR(C){{\rm{Add}}}_{R}\left(C)-resolutions ofRR.

Delamination buckling of a laminated composite shell panel using cohesive zone modelling
Authors: Feddal Ikram , Khamlichi Abdelatif 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Laminated composite shell panels take part in several engineering structures. Due to their complex nature, failure modes in composites are highly dependent on the geometry, direction of loading and orientation of the fibers. However, the design of composite parts is still a delicate task because of these fiber failure modes, which includes matrix failure modes or other so-called interlaminar interface failure such as delamination, that corresponds to the separation of adjacent layers of the laminate as a consequence of the weakening of interface layer between them. In this work, impact-induced delamination represented as a circular single delamination is investigated, as it can reduce greatly the structural integrity without getting detected. Furthermore, attention is focused on its effect upon the post-buckling response and the compressive strength of a composite panel. The delamination buckling was modelled using the cohesive element technique under Abaqus software, in order to predict delamination growth and damage propagation while observing their effects on the critical buckling load.

Published: December 2021

Significance Statement
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent in CKD and is associated with worse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. However, data are limited on use of AF pharmacotherapies and AF-related procedures by CKD status. This paper examined a large “real-world” contemporary population with incident AF, and found that CKD severity was significantly associated with lower receipt of rate control agents, anticoagulation, and AF-related procedures. Additional data on efficacy and safety of AF therapies in CKD populations are needed to inform management strategies.

Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is highly prevalent in CKD and is associated with worse cardiovascular and kidney outcomes. Limited data exist on use of AF pharmacotherapies and AF-related procedures by CKD status. We examined a large “real-world” contemporary population with incident AF to study the association of CKD with management of AF.

Methods
We identified patients with newly diagnosed AF between 2010 and 2017 from two large, integrated health care delivery systems. eGFR (≥60, 45–59, 30–44, 15–29, <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2) was calculated from a minimum of two ambulatory serum creatinine measures separated by ≥90 days. AF medications and procedures were identified from electronic health records. We performed multivariable Fine–Gray subdistribution hazards regression to test the association of CKD severity with receipt of targeted AF therapies.

Results
Among 115,564 patients with incident AF, 34% had baseline CKD. In multivariable models, compared with those with eGFR >60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, patients with eGFR 30–44 (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.91; 95% CI, 0.99 to 0.93), 15–29 (aHR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.82), and <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (aHR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.58–0.70) had lower use of any AF therapy. Patients with eGFR 15–29 ml/min per 1.73 m2 had lower adjusted use of rate control agents (aHR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.67), warfarin (aHR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.84 to 0.94), and DOACs (aHR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.19 to 0.27) compared with patients with eGFR >60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. These associations were even stronger for eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2. There was also a graded association between CKD severity and receipt of AF-related procedures (vs eGFR >60 ml/min per 1.73 m2): eGFR 30–44 ml/min per 1.73 (aHR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.70 to 0.87), eGFR 15–29 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (aHR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.88), and eGFR <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2 (aHR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.74).

Conclusions
In adults with newly diagnosed AF, CKD severity was associated with lower receipt of rate control agents, anticoagulation, and AF procedures. Additional data on efficacy and safety of AF therapies in CKD populations are needed to inform management strategies.

oluşturulan ön yüklerin yaratacağı aktivite sonrası performans artışının (ASPA)
dikey sıçrama ve sprint performansına akut etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır.
Çalışmaya vücut kütlesinin 1,5 katıyla GÇ egzersizleri uygulayabilen iyi antrene
12 erkek sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır (yaş: 21,6±2,68; boy: 192±7,30 cm;
vücut kütlesi: 86,7±11,1 kg; vücut yağ oranı: % 8,7±3,6). Sporcuların dikey
sıçrama ve 30 metre sprint performansları GÇ ve Kİ ile oluşturulan ön yükler
uygulanarak ve uygulanmadan dört farklı günde ve çaprazlanarak
gerçekleştirilmiştir. GÇ ve Kİ uygulamalarında sporcuların 1 TM’nin %90’ı ile 5
set × 1 tekrarlık egzersizler kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre; GÇ ile
oluşturulan ASPA sprint performansını anlamlı ölçüde etkilememiştir (p>0,05;
ES=0,40). Diğer yandan GÇ uygulamaları dikey sıçrama performansını anlamlı
ölçüde arttırmıştır (p=0,005; E S=1,02). Kİ ile oluşturulan ön yük sonrasında ise
ne dikey sıçrama ne de sprint performanslarındaki artış anlamlıdır (p>0,05;
ES=0,35; ES=0,09). Sonuç olarak, GÇ yoluyla oluşturulan ASPA, sporcuların
yalnızca dikey sıçrama performansı artışında etkili olmu ştur.

Wrong Train to Right Destination: Romantic Journey Motif in The Lunchbox
Authors: Banerjee Suddhasattwa 
Published: December 2021

Purpose of the study: This paper attempts to analyze the theme of journey in The Lunchbox in the context of the varied strains of Romantic journey motifs present in 19th Century and early 20th Century Romanticisms prevalent in England, Germany, France, and America in the said period.
Methodology: It is primarily a revisionist study. I have attempted to place The Lunchbox in the context of Romantic literature, predominantly of the 19th Century and early 20th Century and meticulous textual analysis is the basic procedure for this venture.
Main Findings: The findings of this study indicate that the theme of the journey is a signature mark of Romanticism has been used in The Lunchbox for remapping geo-cultural imaginaries of contemporary Mumbai, one of the representative cities of South Asia. Journey to some exotic locale has always been considered as an added advantage to the fundamental narrative of a film.
Applications of this study: This study will be really helpful to those who want to have a clear idea of the common theme of journey present in different kinds of Romanticisms (Lovejoy, 1924) prevalent in England, Germany, France, and America in the 19th Century and early 20th Century. However temporally and spatially specific, this theme can transcend all the boundaries of time, space, and art form and can be traced in The Lunchbox.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The way this paper has attempted to place The Lunchbox in the context of the Romantic literature, predominantly of the 19th Century and early 20th Century, is quite unique, in my opinion. I have not come by any such venture especially relating this movie and the flourish of different Romantic philosophies prevalent in the mentioned segments of the globe in the said period.
Job Security and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour in Telecommunication Companies in Port Harcourt

Published: December 2021

This study sought to examine the relationship between job security and organizational citizenship behaviour in telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design in its investigation of the variables. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The population of the study was 134 employees drawn from 4 telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt. The sample size was 100 determined through the Taro Yamen formula for sample size determination and the simple random technique was used. After data cleaning, only data of 91 respondents were finally used for data analysis. The reliability of the research instrument was achieved using the Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was used to test the hypotheses with the aid of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The study findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between job security and organizational citizenship behaviour in telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt. Thus the study concludes that job security significantly relate with organizational citizenship behaviour in telecommunication companies in Port Harcourt. The study recommends that that employees who are hard working with the firms should be identified and rewarded for their hard work. Components of job security should be factored into telecommunication companies’ job description as it will go a long way in sustaining confidence in the course of discharging their duties. However, this study was able to assess quality of work life and employee turnover and measures by which it can be minimized
Assessment processes and principles related to Food Security that Zimbabwe can rely on for insight.
Authors: Ngwenya Sifelani 
Published: December 2021

Increasing frequency and intensity of food insecurity in Zimbabwe, amidst heavy investment in Disaster Risk Reduction efforts threaten the achievement of the Zero Hunger target by 2030. The need to interrogate assessment practice need not be overemphasized. An interpretive–constructivist paradigm guided this study, while desktop review, focus group discussions and individual interviews were the main data collection tools. A purposively selected sample, of 85participants from Bulilima, Gwanda, Mangwe, and Umzingwane districts was used. These districts share similar social and cultural characteristics and hazards. The sample consisted of District development coordinators (DDCs), Environmental Management Agency, Rural District Council (RDC) chief executive officers, councillors, traditional leaders (chiefs), NGO managers, and heads of schools, deemed to bring depth into the study. NVivo software was used in data analysis to establish order, structure, and meaning, to ensure coherence, consistency, and quality of research findings and deductions. The study found that the term, “assessment” was variedly understood across disciplines and levels of responsibility, due to the existence of parallel assessment regimes that fragment and weaken assessment practice. Hence, the need to make capacity-building, training and education and stakeholder participation a permanent feature in Zimbabwe. This will promote correct understanding and application of the terms, and increase the knowledge of DRR practice. Assessment practice challenges emanate from the manner in which stakeholders do assessments. Hence, the need for attitude change and commitment to the pooling of all the resources towards the assessment practice, and adherence to standards and principles that govern assessment.
