Authors: Pershin V. A. , Khinikadze T. A. 
Published: October 2018

Introduction. Issues on the functional unification of the adaptive hydraulic drive module are studied. For the first time, self-adapting mechanisms are considered taking into account adaptive intercommunication of the load control and agreement of motions on the working body of the mobile machines. The work objective is to create and analyze the technique of the functional unification of the adaptive hydraulic drive module. In the furtherance of this goal, a number of tasks are solved. The selection of technical equipment – unified adaptive hydraulic drive modules of the mobile machines – is validated. The methodology and indicators of the module functional unification are described. Intercommunications are considered: direct positive and back negative ones. Their effect on the functional unification property of the adaptive module is shown.Materials and Methods. For the synthesis and analysis of the functional unification indicators of the adaptive module, a similarity method of the technical systems operation is adopted.Research Results. Techniques for structural-functional unification of the self-adapting modules are developed. Optional versions of the unified modules modification and proper combinations of hydraulic motors, regulating equipment, and mathematical models of adaptive communications are presented. Criteria and indicators of similarity are proposed. The functional unification of the adaptive intercommunications of the module and different types of the hydraulic motors and fluid throttling elements in the hydraulic system are analyzed. Recommendations for implementing the functional unification under typing and operation (adjustment) of the adaptive module are formulated.Discussion and Conclusions. The methodology is recommended for the functional unification of the hydraulic self-adapting module. It can be used for the development of unit sizes and under its operation as an independent drive or a hydraulic drive subsystem of a multifunctional or combined machine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine opinions of veterinary emergency health-care providers on the topic of owner-witnessed CPR in small animal emergency medicine and to identify reasons for opposition or support of owner-witnessed CPR.
DESIGN Cross-sectional survey.
SAMPLE 358 surveys completed by American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care diplomates and residents as well as other emergency-care veterinarians and veterinary technicians between August 14, 2016, and September 14, 2016.
PROCEDURES An internet-based survey was used to collect data on respondent demographics, CPR experience, and opinions about owner-witnessed CPR. Responses were collected, and the Fisher exact test or χ2 test was used to compare distributions of various opinions toward owner-witnessed CPR among certain respondent groups.
RESULTS Owner presence during CPR was opposed by 277 of 356 (77.8%) respondents, with no substantial differences among demographic groups. Respondents with ≤ 10 years of experience were less willing to allow owner presence during CPR, compared with respondents with > 10 years of experience. Respondents who worked at practices that allowed owner presence during CPR were more likely to report emotional benefit for owners.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Veterinary professionals surveyed had similar concerns about owner-witnessed CPR, as has been reported by human health-care providers about family-witnessed resuscitation. However, emotional benefits from family-witnessed resuscitation in human health care have been reported, and emotional impacts of owner-witnessed CPR could be an area of research in veterinary medicine. In addition, investigation is needed to obtain more information about pet owner wishes in regard to witnessing CPR performed on their pets.

Günümüzde
işletmeler gerek yasal sorumluluklarını yerine getirmek, gerekse rekabet
avantajı elde etmek amacıyla çevresel kullanımlarına ilişkin bilgilerini
paylaşma eğiliminde bulunmaktadırlar. Özellikle de faaliyetlerinin tabii bir
sonucu olarak çevre ile doğrudan etkileşim içinde olan madencilik gibi
sektörlerde çevresel kullanıma ilişkin bilgilerin paylaşımı zorunlu hale
gelmiştir. Bununla birlikte son yıllarda hükümetlerce çevre tahribatının
minimum düzeye indirilmesi için birçok çalışma yapılmakta ve yasal düzenlemeler
de geliştirilmektedir. 2872 sayılı Çevre Kanununa bağlı olarak hazırlanan
“Madencilik Faaliyetleri ile Bozulan Arazilerin Doğaya Yeniden Kazandırılması
Yönetmeliği”nin de bu düzenlemelerden biri olduğu söylenebilir. Bu yönetmelikle
birlikte reklamasyon kavramının önemi üzerinde durulmaya başlanmıştır.
Reklamasyon kavramı, “madencilik faaliyetleri yapılan alanların bu faaliyetler
sonrası kullanımı için doğaya yeniden kazandırılması” olarak
tanımlanmaktadır. Literatürde
rekültivasyon, rehabilitasyon ve restorasyon olarak da adlandırılabilen
reklamasyon neticesinde ortaya çıkan maliyetlerin çevresel muhasebe açısından
ele alındığı bu çalışmada muhasebe standartlarının bu konuya ilişkin olarak
getirdiği düzenlemelerin açıklanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda,
çalışmada öncelikle madencilik faaliyetleri ve reklamasyon kavramı hakkında
bilgi verilmiş daha sonra bir örnek uygulama ile reklamasyon maliyetlerinin
muhasebe standartları çerçevesinde muhasebeleştirilmesi konusu açıklanmaya
çalışılmıştır.

Film Festivals in the White Cube: Queer City Cinema as Artistic Practice
Authors: Petrychyn Jonathan 
Published: October 2018

L’auteur retrace le rôle et le lieu du cinéma élargi du festival Queer City Cinema (à Regina), depuis sa première présentation en 1996 à ce jour. À partir du milieu des années 1990, les festivals de cinéma queer (ou altersexuel) au Canada et dans le monde se sont éloignés des modèles organisationnels basés sur les publics ou les communautés, pour lesquels ces événements s’inscrivaient dans le prolongement des activités des organismes queer militants, et ont adopté des modèles plus commerciaux. Concurremment à ce nouvel aiguillage organisationnel s’est produit un virage, au chapitre de l’esthétique et du commissariat, du cinéma expérimental et du cinéma élargi vers les longs métrages de genre. Sous la conduite du directeur artistique Gary Varro, le festival Queer City Cinema a résisté à cette tendance et constamment accru l’espace consacré au cinéma élargi dans la programmation du festival. Après la projection d’une seule vidéo documentaire sur une exposition de photographies en 1996, Varro a peu à peu inscrit au programme des expositions et des prestations en direct, ce qui a ultérieurement mené à la scission des films et des prestations avec l’instauration de Performatorium, de 2012 à 2015. L’engagement de Varro à promouvoir le cinéma élargi défie les frontières de l’art queer et du cinéma ou de la vidéo queer, définissant l’événement Queer City Cinema comme un festival cinématographique ainsi qu’une pratique artistique et l’exercice d’un commissariat — ce qui fait sa singularité parmi les festivals de cinéma queer au Canada.

OBJECTIVEThe presence and capability of existing pediatric neurosurgical care worldwide is unknown. The objective of this study was to solicit the expertise of specialists to quantify the geographic representation of pediatric neurosurgeons, access to specialist care, and equipment and training needs globally.METHODSA mixed-question survey was sent to surgeon members of several international neurosurgical and general pediatric surgical societies via a web-based platform. Respondents answered questions on 5 categories: surgeon demographics and training, hospital and practice details, surgical workforce and access to neurosurgical care, training and equipment needs, and desire for international collaboration. Responses were anonymized and analyzed using Stata software.RESULTSA total of 459 surgeons from 76 countries responded. Pediatric neurosurgeons in high-income and upper-middle-income countries underwent formal pediatric training at a greater rate than surgeons in low- and lower-middle-income countries (89.5% vs 54.4%). There are an estimated 2297 pediatric neurosurgeons in practice globally, with 85.6% operating in high-income and upper-middle-income countries. In low- and lower-middle-income countries, roughly 330 pediatric neurosurgeons care for a total child population of 1.2 billion. In low-income countries in Africa, the density of pediatric neurosurgeons is roughly 1 per 30 million children. A higher proportion of patients in low- and lower-middle-income countries must travel > 2 hours to seek emergency neurosurgical care, relative to high-income countries (75.6% vs 33.6%, p < 0.001). Vast basic and essential training and equipment needs exist, particularly low- and lower-middle-income countries within Africa, South America, the Eastern Mediterranean, and South-East Asia. Eighty-nine percent of respondents demonstrated an interest in international collaboration for the purposes of pediatric neurosurgical capacity building.CONCLUSIONSWide disparity in the access to pediatric neurosurgical care exists globally. In low- and lower-middle-income countries, wherein there exists the greatest burden of pediatric neurosurgical disease, there is a grossly insufficient presence of capable providers and equipped facilities. Neurosurgeons across income groups and geographic regions share a desire for collaboration and partnership.
