Authors: Udris-Borodavko Natalia 
Published: November 2022

ІНФОРМАЦІЙНИЙ
The purpose of the article is to highlight the results of the half-year activity of the Department of Graphic Design of KNUKiM (KNUC&A) in the informational struggle against Russian aggression. The experience of creative resistance as a creative mission of students and teachers of the department in the period from February 24 to August 24, 2022, is analyzed from the standpoint of the concept of the “socially responsible initiative” of a graphic designer introduced by the author of the article. The purpose is also to compile pedagogical activities for the training of socially responsible graphic design professionals. Research methods. The empirical method, method of analysis, and synthesis were used. Numerous scholarly and journalistic materials on the social responsibility of the graphic designer were analysed. In addition, the methodological basis for the article was the review and systematisation of empirical material regarding the results of the activities carried out. Scientific novelty. Based on consideration of the “social responsibility” concepts from the management sphere and “initiative” from the pedagogy sphere in the context of a modern graphic designer activity, a new notion of “socially responsible initiative” is introduced. It is interpreted as one of the signifiers of professionalism. The author shows that the vectors of realization of the socially responsible initiative directly depend on the state of the society where the designer practices. On the example of the activities of the Graphic Design Department of KNUKiM, the manifestation of this professional characteristic in the conditions of full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine is reflected. Coverage of collective creative activity of teachers and students is shown in the context of a pedagogical experiment that passed the self-organization stage and the organizational stage.
Conclusions. Modern visual communication is an area of constant interaction between different social groups of society, which graphic designers provide with their projects. The Department of Graphic Design of KNUKiM once again showed its creativity and progressiveness in the process of training design professionals. The team, made up of teachers and students, has made and continues to make a powerful contribution to the information front in Ukraine during the active phase of Russia’s war in Ukraine: more than 200 exhibition posters have been designed, and participation in international projects has been accepted, around 30 exhibitions have been organised and held in Ukraine and abroad. At the level of professional design communities, we organise landmark exhibitions in which the created works not only present a sharp reaction to the present but also model the future with their verbal and non-verbal codes.
The central planning model of the Soviet Union of 1950-1970s: how it really functioned
Authors: Popov Vladimir 
Published: November 2022

Overall the record of the Soviet Union in maintaining economic growth and high level of welfare indicators is quite spectacular, especially until the mid-1960s. The major strength of the CPE in the 1950-70s came from its ability to mobilize savings and to turn them into investment. After the Second World War the “big push” (industrialization) of the 1930s started to pay off – massive retirement of fixed capital stock has not yet started, so new investment could have been used to alleviate inherent supply bottlenecks.

The 1950-70s is the period when the drawbacks of the CPE (economic calculation problem) started to outweigh the advantages (ability to mobilize savings for investment). Centrally planned economy (CPE) is sometimes characterized as an antonym of a market economy, but this is not true. The ability of the central planning authority to develop and implement a coherent balanced plan for the national economy (not even to speak about the optimal plan) is limited and hence the vacuum is being filled with the automatic mechanisms of self-regulation that are in essence similar to the market adjustment process, but less efficient.

This paper argues that the planners influenced the development of the national economies not so much via adopting the planned targets, but by choosing the priority investment projects. The financing of these projects gave impulses to the other industries via multiplier process that triggered either price increases or output increases, depending on the gap between the potential and actual output, very much like in a market economy.
Deaf childhoods and inclusive early childhood education and care
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Snoddon Kristin 
Published: November 2022

<p>[Introduction]: "On April 22, 2021, the Canadian Government released a budget that puts forward funding for a national $10 per day childcare plan. This is a significant accomplishment for childcare advocates who have been fighting for a universal system for years. It is significant to remark that advocates have long called for the system to be inclusive and accessible. The government outlined these principles in the 2017 Multilateral Early Learning and Childcare Framework, stating that childcare should be high-quality; accessible, affordable and flexible; and inclusive (Government of Canada, 2017). The budget outlines funding that has very few provisions to ensure these principles are enacted. In this budget, the only reference to accessibility in childcare is funding to improve physical accessibility in up to 400 childcare centres. In Ontario alone, there are more than 5,565 centres (Government of Ontario, 2020). Physical accessibility does not account for the many other aspects of access that are lacking in childcare in Canada. In this brief, we consider access and quality from the standpoint of deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. </p>
<p>The IECSS project focuses on disability in childhood. However, 21 participants identified that their children are deaf or hard of hearing (for some, it is temporary). In addition, almost all participants across our larger sample of 136 families have interacted with systems of infant hearing screening."</p>
Framing Deaf Children’s Right to Sign Language in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Authors: Paul Jennifer J. , Snoddon Kristin 
Published: November 2022

<p>Sign language rights for deaf children bring a unique perspective to bear in the fields of both disability rights and language planning. This is due to the lack of recognition in existing case law of the right to language in and of itself. Deaf children are frequently deprived of early exposure to a fully accessible language, and as a consequence may develop incomplete knowledge of any language. Thus, in the case of deaf children the concept of sign language rights encompasses rights that are ordinarily viewed as more fundamental to human equality. This paper will take as a starting point the historical treatment of the enumerated disability ground in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ section 15(1) guarantee of equality rights. We argue that in order to meet deaf children’s specific biological and linguistic needs, these children’s right to sign language also needs to be recognized as an analogous ground for protection from discrimination. Sign language rights are framed in terms of an immutable characteristic of all children, namely the biolingual process for language acquisition. The biolingual process is the experiential and innate ability to acquire language. </p>
Review of "Innovations in Deaf Studies: The Role of Deaf Scholars"
Authors: Snoddon Kristin 
Published: November 2022

<p>I am one of a handful of signing deaf tenure-track or tenured professors in Canada. To my knowledge, I am also the only one who teaches a stand-alone university course in Deaf Studies that is not part of a sign language interpreter or teacher of the deaf training program. As such, I was delighted to read <em>Innovations in Deaf Studies: The Role of Deaf Scholars</em> edited by Annelies Kusters, Maartje De Meulder, and Dai O’ Brien. In this work I find many of my scholarly experiences and concerns reflected on an international scale.</p>
Simulasi Pencegahan Blackout Akibat Gangguan Hubung Singkat Di Luar Zona Proteksi Diferensial Pada Jaringan Distribusi Closed Loop Penyulang Kompetensi dan Potensial
Authors: Rizki Eko Nio 
Published: November 2022

One way to improve the reliability of the power distribution system is to design a good protection system, which is selective, sensitive, reliable, fast, and easy. Through the simulation in this study, the protection system that has been installed will be compared, namely a closed-loop system with differential relay protection with a protection system with additional logic at the relay output, focusing on busbar disturbances belonging to customers substations. The result is that the protection system that has been installed has a drawback, namely when there is a disturbance in the busbar of the customer's substation, the two feeder circuit breakers in the loop system will trip with the required clearance time of 765 milliseconds, while after adding logic to the relay output, when it occurs there is only one feeder circuit breaker that trips while another tripped circuit breaker is at the substation with the required clearance time of 524 milliseconds, so there is only one customer who experiences a blackout.

Microalgae as agents for upcycling industrial wastewater: energy patents and scientific literature overview
Authors: Conceição Gabriele Rodrigues , Santos Jânio Rodrigo de Jesus , Silva Carine Souza da , Chinalia Fabio Alexandre 
Published: November 2022

The oil/gas, ethanol, biodiesel and biogas industries generate wastewater known as produced water, vinasse, crude glycerin and methanogenic digester´s based effluents, respectively. Microalgal systems have been suggested as a suitable and adaptable biological approach for the treatment of such wastewaters. The advantage of such an approach is the combination of treatment with the accumulation of algal valuable bioproducts. This systematic literature review aims to analyze scientific and patent production with bibliometric analysis. Another aim is to discuss the algal bioremediation strategies that were adopted by the cited industries for treating their distinct effluents. Data was obtained using scientific papers and patents published between 2000 to 2020 (335 scientific papers and 104 patents). The United States contributed with the largest number of articles, followed by China and Brazil. Meanwhile China, South Korea and the United States are the major owners of patents. This work identified that microalgal based system is successful in bioremediating several pollutants and that glycerol significantly improves algal performance for bioproducts production. Nonetheless, the efficiency of this process is hindered either by the adopted strategy applied before the cultivation stage or after this process. For instance, variables such as nutrient supplementation, turbidity and salinity corrections were identified as pivotal for process performance. Thus, the full-scale process is directly associated to the correct integration of wastewater production and proper management of microalgae systems.

Authors: Zhang Jinli , Huang Bo , Tang Tao 
Published: November 2022

The discharge of industrial phenol wastewater has caused great harm to the environment. This study aims to construct microalgae and bacteria co-culture system to remove phenol from simulated high-salt phenol wastewater and accumulate microalgae biomass. The degradation of phenol by marine microalgae Dunaliella salina (D. salina) and phenol-degrading bacteria Halomonas mongoliensis (H. mongoliensis) was investigated preliminarily, and then the effects of co-culture H. mongoliensis and D. salina on the degradation of phenol and the growth of D. salina were studied. The effects of D. salina/H. mongoliensis inoculation ratio, light intensity, temperature and pH on the performance of the co-culture system were systematically evaluated and optimized. The optimal conditions for phenol degradation were as follows: a D. salina/H. mongoliensis inoculation ratio of 2:1, a light intensity of 120 μmol m−2 s−1, a temperature of 25°C and a pH around 7.5. Under optimal conditions, this co-culture system could completely degrade 400 mg L−1 of phenol within 5 days. Correspondingly, the phenol degradation rate of D. salina monoculture was only 30.3% ± 1.3% within 5 days. Meanwhile, the maximum biomass concentration of D. salina in coculture was 1.7 times compared to the monoculture. This study suggested that this coculture system had great potential for the bioremediation of phenol contaminants and accumulate microalgae biomass.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, the efficacy of the FEMTO LDV Z8 Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (Femto Z8 FLACS) and the Femtosecond laser Arcuate Keratotomy (FSAK) in decreasing the corneal astigmatism was investigated.Methods: During FLACS, FSAK was positioned with the help of the FEMTO LDV Z8 laser at a diameter of 8.5 mm and an 80% depth. Before and 3 months after surgery, the astigmatism of the cornea was measured with the aid of Pentacam. The variables influencing the efficacy of FSAK were assessed using the multiple regression analysis technique. Vector analyses were carried out. To determine the net corneal alterations, the with-the-wound and against-the-wound variations were computed along the FSAKs’ meridian.Results: This study investigated 80 eyes from 62 participants. The average keratometric astigmatism value was 0.92 ± 0.44 diopters (D). The average keratometric astigmatism decreased to 0.61 ± 0.45 D 3 months following FSAK compared to preoperative corneal astigmatism (p &lt; 0.05). Additionally, there was a considerable decline in the percentage of eyes with ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D astigmatism, which reduced 3 months after surgery by 58% and 85%, respectively (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusion: The FEMTO LDV Z8 laser can create an effective and precise arcuate keratotomy with an excellent safety profile, rapid recovery, and vision stability.

ObjectivesIn China, Danhong injection (DHI) is recommended by expert consensus and is widely used in the perioperative management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study investigates the effect of perioperative DHI administration and the timing of DHI administration on patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by analyzing the prognosis and anti-inflammatory effects. This article summarizes the most up-to-date clinical evidence on DHI, and in this study, we assesses treatment efficacy of DHI in patients with ACS.MethodsA total of seven databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, SINOMED, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP) were searched from the time of their inception to 1 July 2022. Clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of DHI combined with PCI for the treatment of ACS were included. RCT quality was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook risk-of-bias tool, and STATA 17.0 was used for meta-analysis.ResultsIn total, 33 studies including 3,458 patients with ACS undergoing PCI were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with conventional therapy alone, the combination of DHI and conventional therapy significantly decreased the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs; P&lt;0.001) and improved the reperfusion rate (P &lt; 0.001). Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were substantially reduced in the test group (P&lt;0.001). In addition, the plasma levels of myocardial injury markers and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) declined significantly (P &lt; 0.01). Compared with the control group, DHI improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF; P &lt; 0.001) and reduced B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP; P &lt; 0.001) levels. Subgroups were established based on different timings of DHI administration: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative groups. The results showed that the incidence of MACEs and the reperfusion rate did not differ between the groups. Among the subgroups, the postoperative group exhibited significantly lower levels of BNP, hs-CRP, and IL-6 serum and a significantly higher level of LVEF (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe combination of DHI and conventional therapy results in a better therapeutic effect than that observed with conventional therapy alone in patients with ACS. To improve treatment efficacy, postoperative initiation of DHI is recommended as a standard treatment. Further research is needed to confirm these results.Systematic review registrationIdentifier: CRD42022344830.
Case report: Takotsubo syndrome induced by severe hypoglycemia
Authors: Xia Panpan , Zhang Yan , Sun Yumin , Wang Jun 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundTakotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a disorder frequently characterized by transient dysfunction of the apical portion of the left ventricle with hyperkinesis in other parts of the heart walls. TTS is also called stress cardiomyopathy because it is known to be triggered by emotional or physical stress. We report a case of TTS associated with severe hypoglycemia.Case summaryAn 85-year-old female patient with a history of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented to the emergency department with hypoglycemia-induced unconsciousness. The patient regained consciousness after an intravenous glucose injection. The patient complained of chest discomfort after the correction of hypoglycemia. Electrocardiography (ECG) revealed ST-segment elevation in leads V2-V5, therefore, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was highly suspected. Echocardiography showed impaired left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction of 40% accompanied by hypokinesis of the apex. Percutaneous coronary angiography showed 30% stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Left ventricular angiography revealed apical dyskinesia, which is typical of the classic apical ballooning shape of takotsubo. The patient was diagnosed with TTS and managed with pharmacological therapy, including antiplatelet (i.e., aspirin), lipid-lowering, anti-heart failure, and hypoglycemic drugs. The patient was successfully discharged in a stable condition.ConclusionThis is a representative case of TTS caused by hypoglycemia. Due to the self-limiting nature of TTS, diagnoses can be missed among hypoglycemic patients. Thus, echocardiography is required for patients with hypoglycemia to ensure an accurate TTS diagnosis in the emergency department.
