Published: September 2021

Abstract

Background
The challenge facing NGOs in most developing countries is the need to emerge as valuable forces that affect development in order to improve the living conditions of the people in several communities. Funding is necessary for the survival and development of these NGOs. Research aims: This study, therefore, sought to find out the efect of financial resource mobilisation strategies on the sustainability of NGOs in Nigeria, with particular reference to the Minna metropolis.

Research aims
The purposive sampling technique was used to select 118 staf from 50 NGOs as a sample size for the study. Three alternative hypotheses were raised to be tested at P<.05 and a structured questionnaire was adopted for data collection. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and the Ordinary Least Square method of estimation.

Methodology
The result revealed the existence of a statistically significant and positive relationship between private contributions and the sustainability of NGOs, a positive but insignificant relationship between commercial activities and sustainability of NGOs, and an inverse relationship between government funding and sustainability of NGOs.

Findings
The study established that private contributions affect the sustainability of NGOs to a very large extent; government funding does not improve the sustainability of NGOs, and commercial activities do not have a significant impact on the sustainability of NGOs. Consequently, the study recommended that management and staf of NGOs should create more awareness about their operations in order to attract better contributions from private individuals and organisations.

Abstract
COPD is a chronic disease of the respiratory airways due to the partially reversible obstruction of the airflow caused by an abnormal inflammatory response to toxic substances, most often to cigarette smoke(1). COVID-19 is a mild to severe respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus from the Betacoronavirusgenus(2). Patients with COPD have a major risk of COVID-19 infection. Treating patients with COPD, chronic cor pulmonale and COVID-19 is a current challenge.
TRANSDISCIPLINARY AS A VECTOR OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Authors: Редникина Валентина Евгеньена 
Published: September 2021

В последнее время наблюдается тенденция трансформации проблематики, возникающей в общественно-исторической практике, из проблематики частной, конкретной в комплексную, меж- и трансдисциплинарную. Место объектов изучения гуманитарными и естественными науками постепенно, но вполне заметно занимают развивающиеся системы. Вещи, раньше казавшиеся монолитными и неделимыми, как правило, предстают теперь внутренне расчлененными и организованными. Простое, цельное уступает место сложному, системному. Все больше исследований носит трансдисциплинарный характер, которые идут сквозь границы многих дисциплин, выходят за пределы частных наук, что следует из смысла самой приставки «транс». Эта многогранная сложность существует не сама по себе, она «открывается» в ходе человеческой деятельности и обусловлена тем или иным ее состоянием. В этой связи для гуманитаристики в интеграции с естественными науками открываются возможности более глубокого изучения реальности.
There has been a recent, tendency for the transformation of the problematics, which manifests itself in socio-historical practice, from a concrete problematics into a complex, inter- and transdisciplinary one. Tre developing systems are gradually taking tre place of subjects studied by tre humanities and natural sciences. Things that previously seemed monolithic and indivisible, as a rule, now appear internally dismembered and organized. The simple and holistic gives way to the complex and systemic. More and more research of a trans-disciplinary nature go beyond the scope of many disciplines and limits of individual sciences as the meaning of the prefix «trans» presupposes. This multifaceted complexity does not exist on its own, it is «revealed» in the course of human activity and is conditioned by one of its states. In this regard, the humanities open up opportunities for a deeper study of reality in integration with the natural sciences.
TECHNOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENT OF HUMAN HEALTH: TRUTH AND DECEPTION
Authors: Удалова Лариса Викторовна 
Published: September 2021

Утверждается, что сегодня динамично изменяющийся техногенный мир, индустриализация и ноотехносферизация человеческой жизнедеятельности требуют философского осмысления проблемы человека и его здоровья. Анализ патологических явлений указывает на то, что техногенное развитие меняет образ жизни человека, формирует новый, провоцирует прогрессирующую его деградацию - физическую, психическую, генетическую, социальную. Использование современных возможностей биотехнологии для усовершенствования физических и интеллектуальных качеств человека приведет к его конструированию с новыми границами физических, психологических, а значит и социальных возможностей.
The article is based on the idea that today the dynamically changing technogenic world, industrialization and nootechnosferization of human life requires a philosophical understanding of the problem of man and his health. The analysis of pathological phenomena shows that technogenic development changes the way of life of a person, forms a new one, provokes its progressive degradation-physical, mental, genetic, social, etc. The use of the contemporary opportunities of biotechnology to improve the physical and intellectual qualities of a person will lead to its construction with new boundaries of physical, psychological, and therefore social capabilities.
PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE CLASSIFICATION: CLASSIFICATION THEORY POSTSTRUCTURALISM
Authors: Гашков Сергей Александрович 
Published: September 2021

В статье ставится вопрос о классификации знания как философской проблеме, и сопоставляются некоторые подходы, имеющие место в философии науки (Кедров, Мейен) с подходами, распространёнными во французской эпистемологии (Гобло, Мейерсон, Кангийем), и особенно «постструктурализме» второй половины ХХ в. (Барт, Деррида, Делёз, Лакан, Фуко, Касториадис). Автор приходит к выводу, что классификация в истории философии присутствует в нескольких связанных друг с другом смыслах: классификации наук, критического концепта «классификации» и классификации (периодизации) самой философской мысли.
The article raises the question of the classification of knowledge as a philosophical problem, and compares some of the approaches that take place in the philosophy of science (Kedrov, Meyen) with the approaches prevalent in French epistemology (Goblot, Meyerson, Canguilhem), and especially «poststructuralism@ of the second half of the twentieth century (Barthes, Derrida, Deleuze, Lacan, Foucault, Castoriadis). The author comes to the conclusion that the classification in the history of philosophy is present in several interconnected senses: the classification of sciences, the critical concept of «classification» and the classification (periodization) of philosophical thought itself.

O presente estudo deseja mostrar como a criação das prelazias a partir do início deste século se enquadrava perfeitamente no horizonte desse novo projeto missionário. Sob a designação genérica de prelazias, desejo incluir também as prefeituras apostólicas, pois, não obstante algumas conotações diversas, constituíam também igrejas em formação, ou seja, territórios a serem transformados posteriormente em dioceses.
Para maior compreensão do tema, desejo assinalar inicialmente os segmentos eclesiásticos mais expressivos na criação das prelazias, e em seguida as principais razões indicadas para a sua instituição. Desejo também apresentar as corporações que assumiram a direção das prelazias, enfatizando o caráter missionário e social das atividades nelas desenvolvidas.
Effects of Full-Field Visual Input on the Three-Dimensional Properties of the Human Vestibuloocular Reflex1
Authors: Fetter Michael , Misslisch Hubert , Sievering Doris , Tweed Douglas 
Published: September 2021

The three-dimensional (3-D) properties of the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) were studied in six normal human subjects during passive whole-body rotations in darkness and with full-field visual input in light. Subjects were asked to fixate a point target stationary in space straight ahead or to imagine such a target in darkness. Using a 3-D rotating chair, subjects were rotated sinusoidally (frequency .3 Hz, maximum speed 37.5°/s) about an earth-vertical axis for horizontal stimulation and about an earth-horizontal axis for vertical and torsional stimulation. The subject faced forward for vertical stimulation, 90° to the side for torsional stimulation, or 15° to the right or left side for combined vertical and torsional stimulation. Left eye position was measured using 3-D search coils. The VOR response was quantified using the 3-D analogue of gain, a 3 × 3 matrix where each element describes the dependence of one component – torsional, vertical, or horizontal – of eye velocity on one component of head velocity. Average gain matrices were calculated for three cycles of rotation (10 s). Major findings were: (1) Gain values for the VOR were higher in light than in darkness for all directions. In light, vertical and horizontal responses were fully compensatory in both magnitude and direction, whereas the torsional responses were still weak. (2) Intersubject variability, large in the dark, was very small in the light for the vertical and horizontal responses but still considerable for the torsional. (3) Crosscoupling, in the form of partially horizontal eye movements in response to a torsional head rotation, was present in darkness but disappeared in light. (4) The VOR showed the same eye position dependence in darkness and in light; that is, if the eye is looking x° away from straight ahead, the eye rotation axis in response to a horizontal or vertical head rotation tilts about x°/4 in the same direction as the gaze line. These axis tilts are incompatible with perfect stabilization of the retinal image, but they are qualitatively appropriate for preserving Listing’s law.
Visual and Nonvisual Contributions to Perceived Ego-Motion Studied with a New Psychophysical Method
Authors: Mesland B.S. , Wertheim A.H. 
Published: September 2021

The perception of ego-velocity (PEV) during sinusoidal linear acceleration (otolith stimulation) is investigated with a psychophysical method proposed by Wertheim (1990;1). This method is based on the threshold for object motion perception measured during ego-motion. In a first experiment, PEV was measured both with and without illumination of the experimental room. It was shown that, for the particular frequency and amplitude of ego-motion used, PEV in the light approached physical ego-velocity, whereas in darkness PEV was significantly smaller than physical ego-velocity. In a second experiment the PEV was measured again without illumination of the experimental room. It was found that in response to a sinusoidal ego-velocity stimulus, PEV was sinusoidal as well with a gain of 0.8 and a phase-lead of 4° at 0.15 Hz.
“Torso Rotation”' experiments. 4: the role of vision and the cervico-ocular reflex in compensation for a deficient VOR
Authors: Bouyer L.J.G. , Watt D.G.D. 
Published: September 2021

Acute, reversible changes in human vestibular function can be produced by exposure to “Torso Rotation” (TR), a method involving the overuse of certain types of simple, self-generated movements. A single session results in multiple, short-lasting aftereffects, including perceptual illusions, VOR gain reduction,gaze and postural instability, and motion sickness. With repeated exposure, motion sickness susceptibility disappears and gaze stability improves. VOR gain continues to be reduced, however. Therefore, another gaze stabilizing system must come into play. Are visual and/or neck inputs involved in this functional compensation? Six subjects participated in this 7-day experiment. Eye and head movements were measured during 2 tests: 1) voluntary “head only” shaking between 0.3 and 3.0 Hz (lights off) and 2) voluntary “head and torso” shaking, moving the upper body en bloc (neck immobilized). Measurements were obtained before and repeatedly after TR. Velocity gain (eye velocity/head velocity) was determined for each of these tests. Each day, mean velocity gain during “head only” shaking in the dark (averaged over 1.0 to 2.0 Hz) dropped significantly after TR ( P < 0.01), with no long-term improvement ( P > 0.9). Similar results, although more noisy, were obtained for “head and torso” shaking. As a control, EOG calibration data confirmed that gaze stability in the light did improve over the 7 days of testing. This experiment demonstrates that the reduction in gaze instability following repeated exposure to TR results from an increased use of vision. It excludes the VOR, the COR, and predictive mechanisms (including efference copy) as contributors. In addition, in the 20 minutes following TR completion, gaze stability recovered less than during previous VOR testing in the dark. These results are compatible with the motion that exposure to TR leads to a change in sensorimotor strategy involving a de-emphasis of vestibular inputs.
Baselines for three-dimensional perception of combined linear and angular self-motion with changing rotational axis
Authors: Holly Jan E. 
Published: September 2021

The laws of physics explain many human misperceptions of whole-body passive self-motion. One classic misperception occurs in a rotating chair in the dark: If the chair is decelerated to a stop after a period of counterclockwise rotation, then a subject will typically perceive clockwise rotation. The laws of physics show that, indeed, a clockwise rotation would be perceived even by a perfect processor of angular acceleration information, assuming that the processor is initialized (prior to the deceleration) with a typical subject's initial perception – of no rotation in this case. The motion perceived by a perfect acceleration processor serves as a baseline by which to judge human self-motion perception; this baseline makes a rough prediction and also forms a basis for comparison, with uniquely physiological properties of perception showing up as deviations from the baseline. These same principles, using the motion perceived by a perfect acceleration processor as a baseline, are used in the present paper to investigate complex motions that involve simultaneous linear and angular accelerations with a changing axis of rotation. Baselines – motions that would be perceived by a perfect acceleration processor, given the same initial perception (prior to the motion of interest) as that of a typical subject – are computed for the acceleration and deceleration stages of centrifuge runs in which the human carriage tilts along with the vector resultant of the centripetal and gravity vectors. The computations generate a three-dimensional picture of the motion perceived by a perfect acceleration processor, by simultaneously using all six interacting degrees of freedom (three angular and three linear) and taking into account the non-commutativity of rotations in three dimensions. The resulting three-dimensional baselines predict stronger perceptual effects during deceleration than during acceleration, despite the equal magnitudes (with opposite direction) of forces on the subject during acceleration and deceleration. For a centrifuge run with the subject facing tangentially in the direction of motion, the deceleration baseline shows a perception of forward tumble (pitch rotation) beginning with ascent from the earth, while the acceleration baseline does not have analogous pitch and vertical motion. These results give a three-dimensional explanation for certain puzzling acceleration-deceleration perceptual differences observed experimentally by Guedry, Rupert, McGrath, and Oman (Journal of Vestibular Research, 1992 (2).). The present analysis is consistent with, and expands upon, previous analyses of individual components of motion.

A infecção comunitária apesar de não ser de grande preocupação para órgãos de saúde, ela consiste em grande preocupação para os hospitais, pois podem ser risco aos pacientes já fragilizados que chegam aos serviços de saúde. Portanto, o presente estudo pretende descrever o perfil clínico e a prevalência de infecções comunitárias das crianças residentes no Vale do Mamanguape – PB, que foram internadas na pediatria do Hospital Geral de Mamanguape – PB. A metodologia trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, de caráter exploratório, descritivo com uma abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram extraídos dos prontuários eletrônicos e impressos de crianças internadas por um período de mais 24 horas, entre os meses de Janeiro de 2016 a Outubro de 2017, no setor da pediatria do hospital. A amostra contou com 711 crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idade de 0 ano a 15 anos. O diagnóstico de infecção comunitária foi baseado no preenchimento médico do prontuário, nos campos: motivo de internação e anamnese. Os dados foram submetidos ao software R, onde realizou-se a análise descritiva e inferencial dos dados. Na análise inferencial, aplicou-se o Teste Não-paramétrico Qui-Quadrado de Pearson afim de verificar a correlação entre a variável dependente e as variáveis fatores. Sendo assim, observou-se que 83,5% crianças foram internadas por algum tipo de infecção comunitária e 16,5% foram internados com ausência de infecção, a média de dias de internação foi de 4,94 dias 44,5% das crianças internadas foram do município de Mamanguape e 55,3% dos demais municípios que compõem o Vale do Mamanguape. As infecções mais presentes foram do trato respiratório 47,11% e gastroenterite 14,3%. Crianças do sexo masculino passaram mais dias internadas do que criança do sexo feminino com p-valor=0,020. Podendo-se concluir que as infecções comunitárias são as causas mais presentes de internação na pediatria do Hospital Geral de Mamanguape-PB, as infecções do trato respiratório são as mais presentes nas crianças que residem no Vale do Mamanguape.
