КОМУНІКАЦІЙНІ ФАКТОРИ БІЛОРУСЬКИХ ПРОТЕСТІВ 2020
Authors: Fedoniuk Serhii 
Published: February 2021

Ця стаття підтверджує висновки ряду попередніх досліджень про те, що в умовах авторитарних режимів соціальні протести починаються у випадку поєднання двох головних чинників - посилення обмежень політичних прав і громадянських свобод та широкого застосування непідконтрольного владі (нового) каналу масової комунікації. Це припущення підтверджено на прикладі ситуації навколо президентських виборів у Республіці Білорусь 2020 р.
У статті наведено порівняння умов і факторів розгортання масових протестів у Білорусі, країнах Північної Африки й Близького Сходу та в Україні. Встановлено, що до початку виборів у Білорусі були наявні достатні умови і фактори для початку масових протестів і вони були задіяні.
Ми показали, що новим і непідконтрольним білоруській владі каналом став месенджер Telegram, який почали масово використовувати саме в період виборів. Особливістю цього каналу комунікації є його конфіденційність і анонімність підписників, а також вузька тематична спрямованість окремих каналів. Також ми проаналізували Telegram як засіб для політичної комунікації в умовах авторитарних режимів, показали його відмінності як засобу комунікації від популярних соціальних мереж, які широко використовувалися для координації протестних акцій раніше.
Ми наводимо результати аналізу передвиборчої комунікації, спрямованої проти діючого президента Білорусі, яка ґрунтується на застосуванні Telegram для поширення тези про його “низький рейтинг”. Показано, що ця теза згенерована за участі російських аналітичних інституцій big data і значною мірою поширена проросійськими Telegram-каналами у Білорусі. Після виборів вона стала інформаційною підставою масових вуличних протестів і страйків у Білорусі. Також встановлено безпосередню участь фахових політтехнологів в управлінні Telegram-каналів з антипрезидентським контентом і їх участь в організації впливу у Білорусі проросійських і російських каналів.
У підсумку підтверджується ймовірність реалізації в Білорусі моделі стратегічних комунікацій з елементами зовнішнього впливу на перебіг виборчої кампанії, що може бути використано для впливу на лідера авторитарної держави.

Background Adherence to preventative measures designed to mitigate transmission of COVID-19 depends on individual’s understanding and perception of COVID-19. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, perceptions, behavioural adaptation and psychological well-being related to COVID-19 among students attending Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling of students. The self-administered online questionnaire was sent via email in Google forms format between 18 April and 30 April 2020. The questionnaire focused on sociodemographic, perception, attitude and behavioural responses, knowledge and sources of information and anxiety level. Results 326 university students with mean age of 21.8 (S.D 2.3) participated in this study. More females (n =236) took part in the study than males (n= 90). Most students (80%) believed that they knew how to protect themselves. More than two-thirds (68%) of students strongly agreed that COVID-19 was a serious public health issue. Most students (>90%) practised the recommended measures, except for avoid touching of eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands (82%). Wearing a facemask was positively associated with behavioural uptake in university students. Conclusions This study showed a good attitude, behavioural responses, knowledge level and emotional responses among NUMed students towards COVID-19.

Banking sector in Ethiopia is dominant and it is a dense competent area. Due to this the bank managements tend to continually found the strategies that enables them to be competent in this dense competition. These strategies often focus on handling of customers satisfaction to be strongly compete and pooling more customers. Because, service quality is relevant to keep up their competitive advantage and improve customer satisfaction. So, this study examine the handling of customers satisfaction and assessment of service qualities on Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) in Addis Ababa at East District by applying SERVQUAL model. This study used convenient and random sampling technique to select the sample respondents and 400 respondents were selected branches of CBE in Addis Ababa at east district. The data sources for this study are primary and secondary data sources. The questionnaires are used as primary data source, which are contained SERVQUAL model and the agreements were measured by applying the five Likert point scales. The correlation result revealed that all dimensions of service quality have a strong and significant statistical relationship with customer satisfaction. The quality of service offered by CBE no meets with the expectation of customer (customers satisfied in somewhat quality service). So, the bank needs to reform service quality for satisfy and attract unsatisfied customers.
The Effect of Various Polynaphthalene Sulfonate Based Superplasticizers on the Workability of Reactive Powder Concrete

Published: February 2021

A superplasticizer is a type of chemical admixture used to alter the workability (viscosity) of fresh concrete. The workability of fresh concrete is often of particular importance when the water-to-cement (w/c) ratio is low and a particular workability is desired. Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a high-strength concrete formulated to provide compressive strengths exceeding 130MPa and made of primarily powders. RPC materials typically have a very low w/c, which requires the use of a chemical admixture in order to make the material workable for placing, handling and consolidating. Superplasticizer are commonly used for this purpose. Superplasticizers are developed from different formulations, the most common being Polynaphthalene Sulfonate (PNS), Polymelamine Sulfonate (PMS) and Polycarboxylate Ether (PCE). This study investigates the impact of various PNS based superplasticizers on the compressive strength and rheological performance of a RPC mixture. Six different types of PNS based superplasticizers were used; three of various compositional strengths (high, medium, low range) from a local provider, and three of the same compositional strengths (high, medium, low) from a leading manufacturer. Specific properties assessed were the superplasticizers viscosity, concrete workability through the mortar-spread test, concrete rheology, and 7, 14, and 28 day RPC compressive strengths. Two mixtures were produced with two w/cm (0.20 and 0.15), which would subsequently increase the amount of superplasticizer needed, from 34.7L/m3 to 44.5L/m3. The results show that the name brand high range composition produced the overall highest spread, lowest viscosity, and a highest compressive strength at all ages tested. However, the local provider outperformed the name brand in the mid and low range compositions. Additionally, the rheology test also demonstrated that the name brand high range, and RPC produced with the name brand high range, had a lower viscosity at all angular speeds than the others tested.
Factor Analysis of the Parameters of Samples of the Steppe Soil and Grass of Mongolia and Inland Mongolia of China on the Eastern Transsect of the Eurasian Steppe
Authors: Matveevich Mazurkin Peter 
Published: February 2021

Regularities of rank distributions and binary relations between nine parameters are given. The most active are the geographical coordinates of 48 test sites. This proves that the geomorphology of the steppes in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia is becoming decisive. Factor analysis showed that the first four places for influencing variables and dependent indicators are the same: in the first place is the northern latitude, the second is the east longitude, the third is the average annual precipitation, and the fourth is the intensity of sheep grazing. The rest of the factors are located in different ways. The density of organic carbon was only in ninth place as an influencing variable, and in seventh place as a dependent indicator. This is based on the fact that organic carbon is an accumulative (cumulative) parameter over many years. The productivity of the biomass of steppe grass as an influencing variable is in sixth place, and as a dependent indicator (criterion) only in ninth place. This parameter is seasonal, therefore, in comparison with organic carbon, it is highly dynamic. The average annual temperature as an influencing variable is in fifth place, but as a dependent indicator only in eighth place. This was influenced by the strong averaging of the parameter (average value for the year). Plants are strongly influenced by the temperature dynamics during the growing season, and even more by the sum of temperatures during the growing season. With the productivity of steppe grass less than 75 g / m2, the intensity of sheep grazing is zero. According to the second term of the trend, an optimum of 270 g / m2 appears with the maximum intensity of sheep grazing on average 65 pcs / km2. The first fluctuation shows that with an increase in grass biomass, there is a loss of stability of the grass cover with an exponential growth of the amplitude. The second oscillation is dangerous in that with an increase in the biomass of the grass, the half-period of the oscillation sharply decreases and this will also lead to the collapse of the steppe grass. From the remnants of the effect of sheep grazing on grass biomass, it can be seen that there are three clusters: 1) from 0 to 30; 2) from 30 to 95; 3) more than 95 pcs / km2. In this case, the variability of the productivity of the grass decreases.

The quality of any hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir is vital for a successful exploitation work.. The reservoir quality is a function of its petrophysical parameters. Hence the need to model these properties geostatistically in order to determine the quality away from well locations.Composite logs for four wells and 3-D seismic data were used for the analysis. A reservoir named Sand X was mapped and correlated across wells 1 through 4. The four reservoir quality indicators - Effective porosity, permeability, volume of shale and net-to-gross- were estimated and modelled across the field. Sequential Gaussian simulation algorithm was employed to distribute these properties stochastically away from well locations and five realizations were generated. The volume of shale varied from 0.025 (Well 1, second realization) to 0.18(Well 2, first realization). The net-to-gross varied from 0.81 to 0.96 in wells 3 and 4 respectively, for the third realization, while the effective porosity varied from 0.125 to 0.295 for the fifth realization in Wells 3 and 4 respectively. The permeability is above 5000mD at all the existing well locations.These realizations were ranked using Lp norm statistical tool to pick the best for further evaluation. The reservoir quality deduced from the analyzed indicators was favourably high across the reservoir.The application of geostatistics has laterally enhanced the log data resolution away from established well locations.

Stable flies (Stomoxys spp.) are common pests of livestock in the peri-urban rangelands of Vina Division of the Adamawa Plateau. No documented information is available on their diurnal dynamics in relation to physiological age and landscape. The main aim of this study was to determine the trap apparent density (ADT) of Stomoxys and associate it to their diurnal activity rhythm and landscape. Vavoua traps (n=12) were used for Stomoxys collection. Trapping was carried out for seven days i.e. three days consecutively in August and four days consecutively in October, 2016. Three traps were pitched in each of the three biotopes (river, cattle corral and gallery forest) of the four study sites (Galim, Mbidjoro, Velambai and Soukourwo). All female Stomoxys captured underwent ovarian dissection for the determination of their physiological ages (parous or nulliparous). A total of 218 Stomoxys were caught and identified into four species (S. niger niger, S. omega, S. calcitrans, and S. xanthomelas) with an overall ADT of 2.59 flies per trap per day and Stomoxys niger niger (1.13 s.n.n. per trap per day) recorded the highest ADT. Species richness was study site dependent. Higher catches of females 113 (51.83%) were made than that of their male 105 (48.17%) counterparts. Galim recorded the highest Stomoxys apparent density (4.90) as compared to other sites with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The proportion of parous 87 (59.30%) was higher than that of their nulliparous 46 (40.71%) counterparts. Parity differed with landscape and capture periods. S. n. niger was the most frequent in all biotopes and Galim recorded the highest ADT. The population of female flies was made up of adults (parous) with a bimodal diurnal activity rhythm whereas males had a unimodal activity rhythm.

Measurable Mistakes in Architecture the Effect of Designer's Experience on the Propagation of Mistakes in Architectural Design - Residential Buildings in Al Sulaymaniyah City as a Case Study
Authors: Abdullah Wrya Sabir , Ali Amjad Muhammad 
Published: February 2021

The importance of physical and nonphysical architectural design values made architectural designers need good experience to be experts of architectural values reasonably without neglecting any value in the design process. The importance of such values made that ignoring any values and mistakes occurs in the design process. Simultaneously, architectural designers' different nature and the difference in their experiences are causing different understandings of the design values, thus causing architectural mistakes. The research problem appears from the randomly propagating of mistakes in contemporary architecture, which is about to become a phenomenon in Al Sulaymaniyah city. The research aims to find the main reasons and influences of making architectural mistakes and propagating such mistakes in the contemporary architectural design depending on randomly selected samples. The study took the factor of "Architectural Designers' Experience" as an influential factor in avoiding the propagation of architectural mistakes. To see architectural mistakes in real existing cases, the research took some of the different types of residential buildings in Al Sulaymaniyah city designed during (2000-2010) as case study to show architects' architectural mistakes in residential buildings
“They talk to me like a person” Experiences of people with opioid use disorder in an injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT) program: A qualitative interview study using interpretive description
Authors: Jackson Jennifer 
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND: One avenue of treatment for opioid use disorder is injectable opioid agonist treatment (iOAT). It provides clients with injectable hydromorphone as an alternative to oral agonists, like methadone. iOAT is a relatively new treatment, and there have been limited studies of clients’ experiences in iOAT programs.

AIM: The aim of this study was to explore client experiences in an iOAT program in Alberta, Canada.

METHODS: The research team conducted secondary interpretive description analysis on qualitative interviews with iOAT clients. Interviews were analyzed for themes, which were arranged to create an understanding of clients’ experiences.

FINDINGS: Participants accessed iOAT through other health services, for treatment of opioid use disorder. Participants reported that building trusting and supportive relationships with staff was crucial to their success in the program. Through these relationships, participants experienced stopping and starting. They stopped behaviours such as illicit drug use, having withdrawal symptoms and anxiety, and prohibited income generation. They started taking care of themselves, accessing housing, increasing financial stability, receiving primary care, and connecting with friends and family. The global experience of iOAT was one of positive change for participants.

DISCUSSION:

The findings of this study are largely consistent with other published examples - iOAT programs create benefits for both clients and their communities. While clients may join the program to access the hydromorphone, the relationships between staff and clients are the key driver of success.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of preoperative clinical status on the choice of anesthesia method and the postoperative maternal and fetal outcomes in the caesarean section of pregnant women with COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Materials and Methods: Pregnant women with COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome, for whom caesarean sections were planned, were included in this retrospective study. Clinical features, preoperative findings and treatments, maternal and fetal outcomes in the preoperative period, intensive care needs, and hospital stay were evaluated.
Results: Ten patients who underwent caesarean section were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 34±1.82 and the mean gestational week was 33.1±3.88. Chronic disease was present in 44.4% of them. Sixty percent of the patients were admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit. Eighty percent of the newborns were preterm and half of the newborns needed intensive care unit hospitalization.
Conclusion: The clinical features of pregnant women with COVID-19 are similar to those reported for non-pregnant adults with COVID-19, but respiratory parameters of pregnant women with COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome deteriorate rapidly and should be monitored closely. Preoperative clinic status and oxygenation are the most important determinants in the selection of anesthesia type for the caesarean section.

Published: February 2021

Objective: Patients presenting with various complaints to the hematology polyclinic may initially be diagnosed with an atypical lymphoproliferation in bone marrow or lymph node biopsy. The aim of this study was to determine whether a hematological disease, immunodeficiency syndrome, or other diseases were diagnosed during follow-up of patients with an initial diagnosis of atypical lymphoproliferation in bone marrow or in lymph node biopsy.
Materials and Methods: Adult (≥18 years) patients who were admitted to the Hacettepe University Hospital, for various symptoms between 2002 and 2018 were searched for in our hematology department electronical database.
Results: A total of 52 patients were found with atypical lymphoproliferation in lymph node or bone marrow biopsy. The patients had been followed for a median of 9.2 months (0.03-86.2). Hematological neoplasia developed in 32 (61.6%) of the 52 patients and primary immunodeficiency was detected in 6 (11.5%) of the 52 patients. Twenty-six patients (50%) were diagnosed Non-Hodgkin lymphoma during follow up, 1 patient (1%) was diagnosed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 5 patients (9.6%) were diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma and 6 patients (11.5%) were diagnosed primary immunodeficiency. Median time was 2.3 months (0.2-25 months) between atypical lymphoproliferation report in bone marrow or lymph node biopsy and the diagnosis of patients.
Conclusion: In conclusion, patients who have atypical lymphoproliferation in the lymph node or bone marrow biopsy should be followed up in the hematology outpatient clinic. Because, during follow-up, diseases such as hematological neoplasia or immunodeficiency can be diagnosed in patients with atypical lymphoproliferation.
