Authors: Ibrahim Nahla M. , Attia Raghda Gamal , Shoukry Kamal El-Sayed 
Published: May 2022

IntroductionThe study aimed to evaluate the effect of antigravity moon shoes on the values of stance and swing phases of the gait cycle in children with diplegia.MethodsThe study involved 30 children with spastic diplegia, aged 6–8 years, of both genders. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: A and B. All children were evaluated before and after 4 successive months of a rehabilitation program with 2-dimension gait analysis for measuring step lengths and values of stance and swing phases for both lower limbs. Both groups received a designed program which included stretching exercises for tight flexors of the lower limbs, progressive resisted exercises for extensors, and standing and weight shifting exercises. In addition, classical gait training was applied in group A and gait training with antigravity moon shoes in group B. Mann-Whitney U test served to assess differences in means of step length between the groups. Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to evaluate differences in means of step length and values of stance and swing phases during gait cycles.ResultsPost-treatment results revealed a decrease in step lengths and stance phase values, as well as increased values of swing phase for both groups. The changes were more significant in group B.ConclusionsAntigravity moon shoes are a new idea to improve gait pattern in children with diplegia by decreasing stance time and increasing swing time in the gait cycle.
Effect of a mask-type craniocervical brace on head posture during computer typing in individuals with forward head posture
Authors: Yoon Taelim , Lee Jihyun 
Published: May 2022

IntroductionCraniocervical braces decreased poor posture, but they were uncomfortable and difficult to wear. Thus, the purpose of this study was to (1) design a new forward head posture (FHP) brace that would be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, (2) analyse the immediate effect of using a mask-type craniocervical brace, (3) analyse the time interval when FHP may become worse in individuals with FHP.MethodsThe mask-type brace was made of very light flexible plastic with the use of a 3D printer. Uverall, 32 volunteers typed for 15 minutes with and without the brace. Photogrammetric analysis was applied to calculate forward head angle. A greater forward head angle indicates a less protracted head.ResultsWearing the brace for 15 minutes significantly increased the forward head angle as compared with when the brace was not worn. The forward head angle significantly decreased at 15 minutes compared with the status at 0 and 1 minutes.ConclusionsThe use of the mask-type craniocervical brace is a viable option for preventing deterioration of FHP during typing activities that last for more than 15 minutes.
Defending the Arctic Refuge
Authors: Dunaway Finis 
Published: May 2022

Tucked away in the northeastern corner of Alaska is one of the most contested landscapes in all of North America: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Considered sacred by Indigenous peoples in Alaska and Canada and treasured by environmentalists, the refuge provides life-sustaining habitat for caribou, polar bears, migratory birds, and other species. For decades, though, the fossil fuel industry and powerful politicians have sought to turn this unique ecosystem into an oil field. Defending the Arctic Refuge tells the improbable story of how the people fought back. At the center of the story is the unlikely figure of Lenny Kohm (1939–2014), a former jazz drummer and aspiring photographer who passionately committed himself to Arctic Refuge activism. With the aid of a trusty slide show, Kohm and representatives of the Gwich’in Nation traveled across the United States to mobilize grassroots opposition to oil drilling. From Indigenous villages north of the Arctic Circle to Capitol Hill and many places in between, this book shows how Kohm and Gwich’in leaders and environmental activists helped build a political movement that transformed the debate into a struggle for environmental justice.
In its final weeks, the Trump administration fulfilled a long-sought dream of drilling proponents: leasing much of the Arctic Refuge coastal plain for fossil fuel development. Yet the fight to protect this place is certainly not over. Defending the Arctic Refuge traces the history of a movement that is alive today—and that will continue to galvanize diverse groups to safeguard this threatened land.
Hydrometeorological evaluation of two nowcasting systems for Mediterranean heavy precipitation events with operational considerations
Authors: Lovat Alexane , Vincendon Béatrice , Ducrocq Véronique 
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Heavy precipitation events and subsequent flash floods regularly affect the Mediterranean coastal regions. In these situations, forecasting rainfall and river discharges is crucial especially up to 6 h, which is a relevant lead time for emergency services in times of crisis. The present study investigates the hydrometeorological skills of two new nowcasting systems: a numerical weather model AROME-NWC and a nowcasting system blending numerical weather prediction and extrapolation of radar estimation called PIAF. Their performance is assessed for 10 past heavy precipitation events that occurred in southeastern France. Precipitation forecasts are evaluated at a 15- min time resolution and the availability times of forecasts, based on the operational Météo-France suites, are taken into account when performing the evaluation. Rainfall observations and forecasts were first compared using a point-to-point approach. Then the evaluation was conducted from an hydrological point of view, by comparing observed and forecast precipitation over watersheds affected by floods. In general, the results led to the same conclusions for both evaluations. On the very first lead times, up to 1 h 15 min and 1 h 30 min of forecast, the performance of PIAF was higher than AROME-NWC. For longer lead times (up to 3 h) their performances were generally equivalent. An assessment of river discharges simulated with the ISBA-TOP coupled system, which is dedicated to Mediterranean flash flood simulations and driven by AROME-NWC and PIAF rainfall forecasts, was also performed on two exceptional past flash flood events. The results obtained for these two events show that using AROME-NWC or PIAF rainfall forecasts is promising for flash flood forecasting in terms of peak intensity, timing, and first wave of discharge, with an anticipation of these phenomena that can reach several hours.

Published: May 2022

В статье отмечается, что постиндустриальное общество XXI в. находится в серьезной зависимости от качества информации, так как именно она выступает основой многих современных явлений, процессов, а следовательно - предопределяет функционирование социальных институтов и подсистем. В этой связи существенной проблемой является то, что социальная система не обладает эффективными механизмами противодействия вредной информации, в ней актуализированы многочисленные лакуны, потенциально или реально дисфункциональные по информационному критерию. Это в свою очередь создает информационные риски социальному порядку, стабильности социума. В статье анализируются факторы, оказывающие влияние на снижение качества информации, к числу которых относятся: информационная перегрузка, деятельность агрессивных коммуникаторов, распространение самотранслирующейся информации в виртуальном пространстве, дисфункциональность социальных институтов и социальных подсистем в условиях инновационного развития. Утверждается, что качество информации способно оказывать воздействие на выстраивание параметрики социального порядка. Делается вывод о том, что информационные ресурсы традиционного и инновационного плана требуют концептуального осмысления посредством проведения эмпирических социологических исследований, на основе которых представляется возможным сформировать эффективную систему профилактики и противодействия вредной информации.
The post-industrial society of the 21 century is seriously dependent on the quality of information, since it is information that forms the basis of many modern phenomena and processes, and therefore predetermines the functioning of social institutions and subsystems. In this regard, a significant problem is that the social system does not have effective mechanisms for countering harmful information. Numerous gaps are actualized in it, potentially or really dysfunctional according to the information criterion. This, in turn, creates informational risks to the social order and stability of society. The publication analyzes factors influencing the decrease in the quality of information. Those are information overload, the activities of aggressive communicators, the spread of self-relayed information in the virtual space, and the dysfunctionality of social institutions and social subsystems in conditions of innovative development. The research shows that the quality of information can influence the construction of social order parameters. It is concluded that the information resources of the traditional and innovative plan require conceptual understanding through empirical sociological research, based on which it is possible to form an effective system for preventing and combating harmful information.

Introdução: A precarização de políticas públicas de acesso à saúde e a noção puramente biomédica que permeia os cursos da área da saúde comprometem a garantia de saúde integral à população trans no cenário brasileiro. Tendo isso em vista, o objetivo deste relato é discorrer sobre as etapas para a realização do simpósio sobre a saúde da população trans, realizado de forma remota, bem como expor as dificuldades e vantagens ao realizá-lo. Relato de Experiência: A atividade “Simpósio Transexualidade no Brasil: Dilemas e Perspectivas” foi idealizada em uma Reunião de Planejamento de Atividades, com subsequente seleção dos 8 filiados interessados em coordená-la. As inscrições do Simpósio foram realizadas a partir da plataforma Even3, utilizando-se do Instagram e WhatsApp como meios de divulgação. O evento foi realizado entre 07 e 15 de abril de 2021, com transmissões realizadas através do Youtube. Tanto as palestras quanto as mesas redondas foram conduzidas, em sua maioria, por pessoas trans e contaram com 355 ouvintes, entre profissionais e estudantes de saúde e de outras áreas. Discussão: A avaliação de impacto revelou o grande aprendizado e que havia pouco conhecimento e compreensão dos inscritos sobre as necessidades da população trans, sendo evidente a capacidade do evento em elucidar particularidades do atendimento em saúde a essa população. Além disso, evidenciou a negligência que muitas universidades têm de abordar de forma humanizada essa temática tão essencial para a formação de um profissional de saúde e ressaltou a importância da existência de políticas públicas de amparo para esse público. Conclusão: O Simpósio cumpriu seu objetivo de somar-se às iniciativas de educação em saúde a respeito do cuidado humanizado voltado para a população trans. Logo, outras iniciativas similares devem ser desenvolvidas no intuito de promover discussões a respeito do tema.
Discussion of upper air data of 2 and 4 July 1963 from the point of presence of airmasses and structure of the cyclonic vortex off the Bombay coast
Authors: DESAI B.N. 
Published: May 2022

Upper air data over the Arabian Sea for 2 and 4 July 1963 when there was a cyclonic vortex off the Konkan coast, have been discussed with reference to the synoptic charts. It is seen that the data show definite evidence of airmasses and 'reversal level' over the sea as has been observed in the past over the subcontinent. Miller and Keshayamurthy s (1967) kinematic analysis charts for 500-mb level for 2 and 4 July and their conclusions from the same would appear untenable. Their not recognising the 'reversal level' has led them to consider that the vortex and thermal structure are similar to the 'subtropical cyclone'.

Published: May 2022

Seasonal variation of refraction at, 0,10 and 52.4 mr angles of elevation over inland and coastal stations of India has been studied. An examination has been made whether refraction could be used as 80 parameter for airmass identification for Indian stations during different seasons. Statistical regression method has been utilized to compute values of constants for predicting values of radio refraction from the surface values of radio refractive Index.

Published: May 2022

Vertical velocities at 850, 700, 500 and 300-mb surfaces, associated with a monsoon depression have been calculated making use of a 4-level geostrophic baroclinic model. The region of upward vertical velocities agrees well with the region of rainfall.

The contributions by the vorticity advection and divergence terms in the vorticity equation have been evaluated, and the importance of the divergence term in formulating a numerical model for the monsoon is brought out.

The paper describes a frequency converter developed in the laboratories of the India Meteorological Department at New Delhi. Its usefulness is in the new audiomodulated radiosonde system recently introduced by the Department. Basically, the instrument works on magnetic frequency detector principle and is capable of handing meteorological information being telemetered as pulse signals at repetition rates of 10to 200 cps. Its output is a direct current voltage linearly proportional to frequency and is suitable for being applied to and recorded on a potentiometer type strip chart recorder.
A simplified method of computing Radio refractive index
Authors: SEN B. C. , RAKSHIT D. K. 
Published: May 2022

Dependence of variation in radio refractive index on the anomalous propagation of radio waves in the lower layers of the atmosphere is of interest to the Cloud-physicists and Radio-physicists. For easy and quick evaluation of this parameter at different levels of the atmosphere a set of nomograms have been presented. The values obtained from these nomogrms when compared with those calculated values are found to be within 0.5 to 1 per cent of error
Localized floods in Rajasthan owing to exceedingly heavy rains: Case study of small scale accentuations in the summer monsoon field associated with intense upper anticyclonic shear zones
Authors: SENGUPTA S 
Published: May 2022

Most of Rajasthan, being an area of less annual rainfall, soil and topography adhered to the condition, sudden, rapid and exceedingly heavy rains for even a day or two, in a localized area can cause severe floods with natural calamity of very high order: Study of some of these situations in the Indian summer monsoon field reveals, that, fractional superimposition and therefore fractional accentuation of pre-existing lower troposphere cyclonic vortices by upper anticyclonic shear zones formed out of propagation and amplification of an upper westerly and an easterly wave, in close proximity is actually responsible for such exceeding heavy falls in meso or small areas.

Introduction:
The modified Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) fractures was developed to better describe fracture healing, but its utility in resource-limited settings is poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the validity of mRUST scores in evaluating fracture healing in diaphyseal femur fractures treated operatively at a single tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania.

Methods:
Radiographs of 297 fractures were evaluated using the mRUST score and compared with outcomes including revision surgery and EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) and visual analog scale (VAS) quality-of-life measures. Convergent validity was assessed by correlating mRUST scores with EQ-5D and VAS scores. Divergent validity was assessed by comparing mRUST scores in patients based on revision surgery status.

Results:
The mRUST score had moderate correlation (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.40) with EQ-5D scores and weak correlation (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.320) with VAS scores. Compared with patients who required revision surgery, patients who did not require revision surgery had higher RUST scores at all time points, with statistically significant differences at 3 months (2.02, P < 0.05).

Discussion:
These results demonstrate that the mRUST score is a valid method of evaluating the healing of femoral shaft fractures in resource-limited settings, with high interrater reliability, correlation with widely used quality of life measures (EQ-5D and VAS), and expected divergence in the setting of complications requiring revision surgery.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM 2020 AS THE FINAL STAGE OF REFORMING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Боброва Н.А. 
Published: May 2022

Презентуя предстоящие конституционные поправки в рамках Послания Президента РФ Федеральному собранию Российской Федерации 15 января 2020 года, В. В. Путин высказал тезис, согласно которому потенциал Конституции РФ не исчерпан для реформирования. В статье доказывается, что конституционная реформа 2020 года исчерпала возможности дальнейшего глубокого реформирования действующей Конституции РФ. Анализируются поправки в Конституцию России и делаются выводы: 1) причиной реформы 2020 явилась проблема истечения полномочий В. В. Путина в 2024 году и новые внутренние и внешние вызовы; 2) поправки в главы 3–8 Конституции РФ содержательно затрагивают главу 1; 3) реформа явилась новым этапом укрепления президентской вертикали на фоне декоративного увеличения полномочий палат Федерального собрания Российской Федерации; 4) усиление противоречий внутри текста Конституции РФ актуализирует проблему ее полного реформирования и принятия новой Конституции России; 5) потенциал действующей конституции для дальнейшего аналогичного реформирования полностью исчерпан; 6) при этом отдельные точечные поправки не исключены, как это было и до конституционной реформы 2020.
Presenting the upcoming constitutional amendments within the framework of the Address of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on January 15, 2020, V. V. Putin expressed the thesis, according to which the potential of the Constitution of the Russian Federation is not exhausted for reforming. Amendments to the Russian Constitution are being analyzed and conclusions are drawn: 1) The reason for the reform 2020 was the problem of the expiration of Vladimir Putin's powers in 2024 and new internal and external challenges; 2) Chapter Amendments 3–8 however of the Russian Constitution meaningfully affect Chapter 1; 3) the reform was a new stage of strengthening the presidential vertical against the background of decorative increase of the powers of the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation; 4) the increasing contradictions within the text of the Russian Constitution actualizes the problem of its full reform and adoption of the new Constitution of Russia; 5) the potential of the current constitution for further similar reform has been completely exhausted; 6) at the same time, individual point amendments are not excluded, as it was before the constitutional reform of 2020.
