On Minor Peregrination: The Aesthetics of Dissensus and Movement

This paper is an attempt to examine critical ways of displacing the meaning of journey – as minor rhythms and motions of everyday life. The everyday and its cyclical nature embedded in a productive life within the capitalist social regime is seen as an unexotic site of quotidian struggle. It warrants our attention only when the body asserts its presence at the site of rebellion or resistance. This is frequently reported as an exception to the given norm. The concrete reality of our given material conditions is always fermenting and churning towards the “not yet”. Patterns of the everyday are seen as an extraordinary event or rupture only when the body rebels. My contention is that this journey of the body-politic is not embedded in a certain moment of its arrival or departure, from point A to B, but marked by dynamic, shifting vectors that are capable of a “leap”. In, against and beyond the spectre of capital, this paper will try to outline and discuss these minor perforations in time through the Shaheen Bagh protests and the migrant exodus during the pandemic in India.

PENGAMATAN VEKTOR AEDES AEGYPTI INFEKTIF VIRUS DENGUE DI JAKARTA UTARA TAHUN 2022

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a public health problem that needs seriousattention, because this disease has high morbidity and mortality rates and has the potential to cause extraordinary events (KLB). Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever cases tend to increase from year to year and have the potential to cause Extraordinary Events, so that the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province is an endemic area for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. Thepurpose of this literature review is to analyze the density of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, to analyze infective Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, to increase efforts to control DHF vectors and to be aware of an increase in DHF cases.This study uses an observational method. The data source used comes from primarydata taken directly in residential areas, the selected location is the village with the highest IR number and the test sample is examined in the laboratory.Data owned by the DKI Jakarta Health Service, until the end of January 2021, thenumber of Dengue Fever sufferers reached 3,091 people. Meanwhile, in the same period last year, the number of dengue fever sufferers increased by 35%. The mosquito surveywas conducted in areas that have high cases of dengue fever in North Jakarta, namely Warakas Village, Tanjung Priok District. Of the 100 houses that had been visited and a search for adult mosquitoes was carried out, 69 houses were found. The number of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes caught was 17, consisting of 15 females and 2 males. Then a separate extraction process was carried out between female mosquitoes and male mosquitoes to determine whether or not the dengue virus was present. After obtaining the extraction, the samples were then subjected to PCR testing.The results of testing samples of male and female mosquitoes using the PCR methodin the Warakas Village, Tanjung Priok District, obtained negative results (-) for dengue virus. Vector surveys carried out for disease control program implementers need to expand the sampling locations so that they can represent the population in an area

Bacterial Culture Streak Method for Inventory of Enterobacteriaceae Causes Diarrhea in the Body of House Fly (Musca Domestica)

Diarrhea is an endemic disease in Indonesia and is a potential disease Extraordinary Events (KLB) which are often accompanied by death. Based on data on diarrhea cases at the Narmada Community Health Center in 2017 there were 1.679 cases of diarrhea from 11 villages in Narmada District. One of the causes of these cases of diarrhea is the presence of house flies as a vector carrying disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the bacterial culture of the streak method for inventory of Enterobacteriaceae of diarrhea in the body of the house fly (Musca domestica). This research is descriptive observational. The sample in this study were 30 Musca domestica which were captured in the Kramajaya village environment in Nutrienth Agar Plate (NAP) and Mac Conkey Agar (MCA) media as well as the INVIC MUTSI Biochemical Test media on bacterial colonies that needed further identification to determine species. The analysis of the results was carried out descriptively. The identification results were found in the family Enterobacteriaceae genus Enterobacter agglomerans in the body of the house fly (Musca domestica) samples taken from the landfill and the family Moraxellaceae family genus Acinetobacter baumannii taken from the kitchen and home terrace

Oil and US stock market shocks: Implications for Canadian equities

AbstractOil and US stock market shocks are relevant to Canadian equities because Canada is an oil exporter exposed to market developments in the wider continent. We evaluate how the relationship between Canadian stock market indices and such external shocks change under extraordinary events. To do this, we subject statistically identified oil and S&P 500 market shocks to a surprise filter, which detects shocks with the greatest magnitude occurring over a given lookback period, and an outlier filter, which detects extrema shocks that exceed a normal range. Then, we examine how the dependence structure between shocks and Canadian equities change under the extreme surprise and outlier episodes through various co‐moment spillover tests. Our results show co‐moments beyond correlation are important in reflecting the changes occurring in the relationships between external shocks and Canadian equities in extreme events. Additionally, the differences in findings under extreme positive and negative shocks provide evidence for asymmetric spillover effects from the oil and US stock markets to Canadian equities. Moreover, the observed heterogeneity in the relationships between disaggregated Canadian equities and shocks in the crude oil and S&P 500 markets are useful to policy‐makers for revealing sector‐specific vulnerabilities and provide portfolio diversification opportunities for investors to exploit.

Edukasi Waspada DBD dan Pandai Memilih Jajanan di Sekolah dengan Leaflet

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is one of the most common diseases in regions such as Southeast Asia. The incidence of DHF infection is estimated to reach 50 to 100 million cases each year. Snacks or street food are usually presented in various colors, shapes, tastes, sizes to make it attractive to buyers. Data analysis by BPOM shows that as much as 40% of snacks are not in accordance with food safety. The two problems above can trigger extraordinary events (KLB), so it is important to do education to prevent this. The health promotion method used is by providing education to participants in the form of lectures and accompanied by the provision of leaflets. The results of the activity show an increase in the knowledge of educational participants based on the post-test results. Health promotion activities (Promkes) about DHF and Pinter choosing snacks at school using effective leaflets to increase participants' knowledge. This increase in knowledge is expected to prevent outbreaks due to DHF and food poisoning.

Female migraine patients had lower COVID-19 phobia and PCL-5 scores during the lockdown period.

To examine the impact of the lockdown period of the pandemic on COVID-19 phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in migraine patients. A total of 73 patients, including 39 migraine and 34 controls, completed the study during the lockdown period. The patients were evaluated using the Structured Headache Questionnaire, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) (PCL-5) and COVID-19 Phobia Scale via the telephone-based telemedicine method. Migraine patients had significantly lower scores in all subgroups of the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (mean = 42.33 ± 12.67) than those in the healthy control group (mean = 52.88 ± 13.18). PCL-5 scale scores in migraine patients were significantly lower (mean = 27.18 ± 14.34) compared to the healthy controls (Mean = 34.03 ± 14.36). Migraine attack frequency decreased or did not change in 67% of the patients during the lockdown period. Acute stress response to an extraordinary situation such as a pandemic may be more controlled in migraine patients, yet specific phobia and post-traumatic stress disorder have been reported more frequently in patients with migraine under normal living conditions. We interpreted that the life-long headache-associated stress may generate a tendency to resilience and resistance to extraordinary traumatic events in migraine patients.

A new strategy to assure compliance with soil loss tolerance at a regional scale

The relevant erosive effects of extraordinary rainfall events due to climate change require establishing soil conservation strategies to prevent damages due to hydrogeological instability. The “tolerable” soil loss, i.e., the maximum soil loss compatible with sustainable soil use, represents a quantitative target to establish the effectiveness of actions to control soil erosion. In this paper, a new approach to defining the condition corresponding to a tolerable soil loss is proposed. At first, using the statistical analysis of the measured annual values of the rainfall erosivity factor, the cover and management factor CT, for which the maximum tolerable soil loss is equal to the annual soil loss of given return period T, is defined. Then, for the Sicilian region, a relationship between the CT factor obtained for T = 1000 years and the mean annual value of the rainfall erosivity factor, R, is established. For a given value C of the cover and management factor, this relationship allows for the establishment of the corresponding mean annual rainfall erosivity factor, named Rland-use. The result C ≤ CT for T = 1000 years is obtained for areas with R ≤ Rland-use, and the compliance with soil loss tolerance is then assured. Conversely, for areas characterized by R > Rland-use, the reduction of C to a value less than CT for T = 1000 years is required to obtain a tolerable soil loss condition. Finally, for the Sicilian region, the overlay between the C spatial distribution for arable lands (mainly cereals and legumes) and areas covered by vineyards, derived from the land use map, and the CT spatial distribution allowed to define areas in which tolerable soil loss conditions occur or soil conservation strategies are required.

Emergency Management and Possibilities of Involvement of Non-Governmental Organizations

The study focuses on the issue of extraordinary events such as disruptions in society and the involvement of non-governmental non-profit organizations. The goal is to describe the possibility of involving non-governmental non-profit organizations in dealing with extraordinary events and crisis situations. Rescue and security forces are established in the Czech Republic to deal with emergencies, whose priority mission is to save life, health, property and the environment. In addition to the state-guaranteed components, non-state nonprofit organizations are also involved in the preparation and solution of extraordinary events. The rules of cooperation and coordination according to the Act on the Integrated Rescue System, as amended, apply primarily to their coordination during emergencies. Nongovernmental non-profit organizations, which prepare for longer and systematically and are involved in the solution of extraordinary events, create platforms for cooperation and coordination focused on follow-up activities after rescue work, e.g. monitoring of the affected area, humanitarian, psychosocial, material and financial assistance, consulting and other professional assistance.

The Institutional Principle of the Integrated Rescue System in Terms of the Proposed Legislative Change

Crisis events can occur in any place and therefore it is necessary to know how to respond to them in a timely and efficient manner manner with the aim of minimizing the negative impact. In order to improve the coordinated procedure, it was necessary to analyze and legislatively change the institutional principle of the functioning integrated rescue system, specifically by including the Police Force among the basic rescue units. the aim of the authors was to evaluate the effectiveness of the change of the functioning institutional principle and to point out its positive and negative aspects. In conclusion, the authors state that they agree to that mentioned change also with regard to various extraordinary police events or high - profile incidents, for which primaries members of the Police Force are trained and therefore their coordination is desirable in the given cases.

An entosis-like process induces mitotic disruption in Pals1 microcephaly pathogenesis

Entosis is cell cannibalism utilized by tumor cells to engulf live neighboring cells for pro- or anti-tumorigenic purposes. It is unknown whether this extraordinary cellular event can be pathogenic in other diseases such as microcephaly, a condition characterized by a smaller than normal brain at birth. We find that mice mutant for the human microcephaly-causing gene Pals1, which exhibit diminished cortices due to massive cell death, also exhibit nuclei enveloped by plasma membranes inside of dividing cells. These cell-in-cell (CIC) structures represent a dynamic process accompanied by lengthened mitosis and cytokinesis abnormalities. As shown in tumor cells, ROCK inhibition completely abrogates CIC structures and restores the normal length of mitosis. Moreover, genetic elimination of Trp53 produces a remarkable rescue of cortical size along with substantial reductions of CIC structures and cell death. These results provide a novel pathogenic mechanism by which microcephaly is produced through entotic cell cannibalism.

COVID-19 Effects on the Relationship between Cryptocurrencies: Can It Be Contagion? Insights from Econophysics Approaches.

Cryptocurrencies are relatively new and innovative financial assets. They are a topic of interest to investors and academics due to their distinctive features. Whether financial or not, extraordinary events are one of the biggest challenges facing financial markets. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, considered by some authors a "black swan", is one of these events. In this study, we assess integration and contagion in the cryptocurrency market in the COVID-19 pandemic context, using two entropy-based measures: mutual information and transfer entropy. Both methodologies reveal that cryptocurrencies exhibit mixed levels of integration before and after the onset of the pandemic. Cryptocurrencies displaying higher integration before the event experienced a decline in such link after the world became aware of the first cases of pneumonia in Wuhan city. In what concerns contagion, mutual information provided evidence of its presence solely for the Huobi Token, and the transfer entropy analysis pointed out Tether and Huobi Token as its main source. As both analyses indicate no contagion from the pandemic turmoil to these financial assets, cryptocurrencies may be good investment options in case of real global shocks, such as the one provoked by the COVID-19 outbreak.

A high-resolution numerical simulation of the “7.19” extraordinary heavy rainfall in Henan Province under topographic effect

Introduction: In this study, based on the ERA5 dataset, the orographic precipitation characteristics during an extraordinary heavy rainfall event in Henan Province on 19 July 2016 are analyzed.Methods: In addition, by using the WRF model and the NCEP GDAS/FNL dataset, a high-resolution numerical simulation is carried out, including a series of sensitivity experiments on the Taihang Mountains, Yunmeng Mountain, and low-altitude areas.Results and Discussion: The distribution of observed precipitation shows that the precipitation over the Taihang Mountains in northern Henan during the daytime on July 19 is significantly enhanced due to the topographic effect compared with that over the plain on the east. The simulation results demonstrate that the distribution of simulated precipitation over the steep terrains on the east side of the Taihang Mountains is closer to the observational precipitation when SRTM-90m is introduced to the WRF model. When the altitude of the Taihang Mountains is lowered by 50%, the accumulated precipitation along the Taihang Mountains in the daytime on July 19 decreases by 26%, accompanied by the northward movement of the heavy precipitation center over the northern Taihang Mountains. In addition, Yunmeng Mountain plays an important role in blocking or diverting the easterly and southeasterly low-level jet. When the terrain elevation of Yunmeng Mountain is reduced, the convergence zone of the wind field in the low level moves to the areas along the Taihang Mountains, which leads to the expansion of the area with heavy rainfall, with the average accumulated precipitation in mountain areas increasing by 7%. In addition, when the low altitude terrain in the study region is reduced by 50%, the center of heavy precipitation obviously moves westward. Combined with the diagnostic analysis of the topographically forced vertical velocity, the results show that the uplift of the low-level jet caused by the low-altitude terrain in northern Henan is one of the reasons that affect the location of the heavy rainfall center.

Innovative strategic session in the scientific activity of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine

Sometimes, you need to go beyond the possible and ordinary in order to create something new. Human potential is limitless, and the world of technological possibilities opens up new horizons and helps to achieve the most difficult goals.
 A real scientist should think out of the box and go beyond the rules. Sticking with what we know today and being not open to new knowledge hinders our scientific progress. It is quite difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of bias. Similar to how it is almost beyond our possibilities to pull yourself out of the rut of the rules without a help.
 However, we tried to do impossible possible at our Science Week. The last week of July at the Research and Practical Clinical Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine Technologies of the Moscow Healthcare Department was highlighted by this outstanding extraordinary event. During this week, the importance of scientific discoveries for both an individual and whole society was demonstrated. In fact, it was a platform for discussing advanced technologies, challenges, and solutions. For 4 days, the scientists of the Center presented their reports and defended their ideas. Their colleagues took part in the discussion and asked questions about the application and implementation of their initiatives.

APPLICATION OF TIME SERIES ANALYSIS METHODS FOR FORECASTING PRICING IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

The paper presents theoretical and methodological approaches to forecasting pricing in the real estate market based on the study of stochastic models of time series, which are statistical samples of prices of real estate in certain segments of this market generated consistently over time. The main stages of the research of time series in the real estate market are given. Two main components of time series of real estate prices are distinguished - fundamental (regular) and random (irregular). The fundamental (regular) component of the time series contains trend, cyclical and seasonal trends. The random component is noise, which slightly deviates the value of the time series from the trend. The work analyzed the fundamental price-forming factors in the real estate market, which have the greatest influence on the formation of the real estate price and determine its trend. The results of the analysis of time series of prices on the secondary real estate market in the traditionally most active business cities of Ukraine (Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk) in the period 2016-2023 are presented. It is shown that prices on regional real estate markets are formed under the influence of both general trends throughout the country and random crisis phenomena inherent in this region. In the regional section of the analyzed real estate markets, on average, a growing trend is observed, which is stimulated by the increasing solvent demand for residential square meters. At the same time, it is of particular interest to study the behavior of real estate market prices during periods of crises caused by extraordinary events and conditions (pandemic and war) observed in 2020, 2022 and in the current year 2023. If the coronavirus, as a crisis phenomenon, affected the dynamics of regional real estate markets more or less equally, then the impact of a full-scale war manifested itself differently in different regions of our country. In front-line cities that suffer quite a lot from shelling (for example, Kharkiv), the real estate market reacted by lowering prices and demand. At the same time, in the western regions (for example, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk), the cost of square meters has increased significantly, which is due to a sharp increase in demand due to temporarily displaced and evacuated persons. Further directions of time series research for forecasting pricing in the real estate market have been determined.

THE PROBLEM OF EXPRESSING THE ATTITUDE OF DIALECTAL AND LITERARY LANGUAGE NORMS IN LOCAL SPEECH

In the article studies attitude as a certain position, side of individuals or groups towards language variants, phenomena and elements, which has been theoretically and empirically studied in sociolinguistics, ethnosociology, ethnolinguistics and social psychology. The article states the transition of the concept of "attitude" to the linguistic plane in terms of comparing dialectal and literary strata of the language in diglossic language use. The conducted descriptive analysis of the language system states the difference between prescriptive data and the dialectal norm. The principles of the attitude of dialectal and literary language norms in local speech, verified by oral speech in the business sphere and in the vernacular, are clarified. The fact of acquiring and expressing knowledge of the literary language (for example, during the national upsurge in the 90s, during the period of Independent Ukraine and during the Russian-Ukrainian war) is stated, which constitutes a certain social readiness, a subject's inclination, which arises when he/she anticipates a certain language situation and ensures the purposeful nature of the corresponding language activity. The typology of attitudes defined by the authors puts forward the idea of a special sociological and linguistic codification of language norms. It is noteworthy that the increasing evidence of tendencies to react and reflect in attitudes in relation to specific circumstances (war, resettlement, famine, unemployment) and everyday collisions can be changed as a result of situational requirements, unforeseen or extraordinary events. At the same time, language attitudes are expressed through attitudes toward the military volunteers, critical infrastructure workers, volunteers, victims, donors, etc. External factors trigger corresponding behavioral intentions, such as questioning, citing the obvious, creative retelling of what one has seen or heard, and individual refusal to comment for personal reasons. In the long run, a clear and objective attitude of Ukrainian speakers based on legislative and language education reforms will give positive results in language use.

Soil loss tolerance in the context of the European Green Deal

Soil erosion by water, and the consequent loss of a non-renewable resource, is a relevant environmental issue which has economic, ecologic, and social repercussions. In the context of the European Green Deal, the increasing awareness of soil Ecosystem Services is leading to give the due relevance to this problem. Notwithstanding the recent soil conservation strategies adopted by the Common Agricultural Policy had positive effects, the concern regarding this topic is drastically increasing for the normalization of extraordinary rainfall events due to climate change. Recent events occurred in Europe demonstrated that landscape protection is often inadequate and interventions to prevent damages due to hydrogeological instability are scarce.The determination of a “tolerable” soil loss TSL is useful to establish a quantitative standard to measure the effectiveness of strategies and techniques to control soil erosion. However, soil conservation strategies/works designed by the mean annual value of the climatic variable, as the rainfall erosivity factor R, are not appropriate for some erosive events which produce intolerable sediment yield values. Therefore, the adoption of an adequate TSL, which could help to ensure the protection of soil functions and a sustainable soil use, should be a primary goal to reach for policy makers.In this paper, a new method to define the tolerable soil loss is proposed. This approach is based on the statistical analysis of the measured annual values of R and leads to the determination of the cover and management factor for which the maximum tolerable soil loss is equal to the annual soil loss of given return period. The analysis demonstrated that to limit soil erosion to the tolerable soil loss, interventions to change land use, reduce field length or apply support practices can be carried out.

«НЕ ЗАБЫТЬ НАМ ТЕХ ЛЕТ». ВЕЛИКАЯ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННАЯ ВОЙНА В ВОСПРИЯТИИ ЖЕНЩИН-ФРОНТОВИКОВ БАШКИРИИ

The article deals with one of the scientific problems of the history of the Great Patriotic War, which is of interest not only for historians, but also for researchers in other humanities: the war events, military campaigns, living conditions of military service in the perception of female front-line soldiers. The study is devoted to the experience of women from Bashkiria who participated in the war, and is based on the sources of personal origin and periodicals. In the course of the study, the author took into account the specifics of various sources, the time and conditions of their occurrence. The author explores the ways of mobilizing women from the republic to the front, their participating in various branches of the military, in military campaigns and military operations. She studies the organization of women’s military service, their accommodation and living conditions, reveals objective and subjective factors that influenced their moral and psychological state in combat reality. Particular attention is focused on the reactions of women to extraordinary events, their relations with commanders and comrades, the peculiarities of their manifestation at various stages of the war, as well as the difficulties they had to face.

ВТРАТИ АГРАРНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ ВНАСЛІДОК ВІЙНИ: АКТУАЛЬНІ ПИТАННЯ ОБЛІКУ І ЗВІТНОСТІ

The article examines the main problems that exist in the agricultural sector of Ukraine and that have deepened as a result of military events. The urgent problem of agricultural production in the world is the increase in the level of plowed land. At the same time, Ukraine has the highest percentage in Europe. Intensive involvement of land in production, lack of proper control over the use of land leads to the loss of the fertile layer. This leads to soil degradation. The full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation has greatly deepened this problem. Considerable areas of land located in the occupied territories were removed from agricultural turnover. In de-occupied territories, freed land cannot be used for agricultural activities, because they are polluted by the products of combustion of petroleum products, fragments of destroyed military equipment, large areas are mined. To return agricultural land to production, it is necessary to carry out a number of remedial measures aimed at improving the condition of the soil. The business faces the task of organizing such works, and the state faces the task of finding funding sources. The accounting service of the enterprise is designed to timely and correctly reflect the costs associated with the implementation of restorative soil protection works and provide information in financial statements. At the same time, a number of accounting tasks should be solved, in particular, determine the nature of the work and the sources of their financing. The question of the impact of costs on the production cost of agricultural products is relevant. In order to correctly reflect the costs incurred, it is necessary to apply new approaches to cost accounting and forming the cost of production. There was a need to return to accounting practice the separate accounting of losses of the enterprise from the impact of extraordinary events. The company's financial reporting needs attention, which should reveal information about the company's expenses for overcoming the consequences of the war.

Strategies to study the metabolic origins of specialized plant metabolites: The specialized 1,4-naphthoquinones.

One of the hallmarks of specialized plant metabolites is that they are produced using precursors from central metabolism. Therefore, in addition to identifying and characterizing the pathway genes and enzymes involved in synthesizing a specialized compound, it is critical to study its metabolic origins. Identifying what primary metabolic pathways supply precursors to specialized metabolism and how primary metabolism has diversified to sustain fluxes to specialized metabolite pathways is imperative to optimizing synthetic biology strategies for producing high-value plant natural products in crops and microbial systems. Improved understanding of the metabolic origins of specialized plant metabolites has also revealed instances of recurrent evolution of the same compound, or nearly identical compounds, with similar ecological functions, thereby expanding knowledge about the factors driving the chemical diversity in the plant kingdom. In this chapter, we describe detailed methods for performing tracer studies, chemical inhibitor experiments, and reverse genetics. We use examples from investigations of the metabolic origins of specialized plant 1,4-naphthoquinones (1,4-NQs). The plant 1,4-NQs provide an excellent case study for illustrating the importance of investigating the metabolic origins of specialized metabolites. Over half a century of research by many groups has revealed that the pathways to synthesize plant 1,4-NQs are the result of multiple events of convergent evolution across several disparate plant lineages and that plant 1,4-NQ pathways are supported by extraordinary events of metabolic innovation and by various primary metabolic sources.
