Evaluation of Street in Luohu District of Shenzhen on Semantic of Street Image

Based on the theoretical extension of the greening vision and the application practice of streetscape big data, the average green vision rate within the planned green area coverage block of Luohu District, Shenzhen is calculated by PHOTOSHOP and FCN software, and the differences in spatial distribution and current status characteristics between its 3D green vision rate and the management unit control guidance map of Shenzhen Green Space System Planning (2014-2030) are explored, and the results show that the green space rate in the main urban area of Luohu District, Shenzhen is 36.78%, which is much better than the average level of major cities in the world, but there is still a gap compared with the management unit control guidance map of Shenzhen Green Space System Planning (2014-2030), and this paper proposes optimization suggestions for the current deficiency.

The Sociological Measurement of the Population Subjectivity in the Context of the National Projects Implementation

The article raises the problem of sociological measurement of the subjectivity of the population. The subjectivity of the population is examined through the prism of studying the existing social relations in the power-society system on the example of the implementation of 12 national projects. It is noted that the solution to this problem is possible through the development of a system of empirical indicators. Based on the results of the sociological study, the following groups of indicators for measuring the subjectivity of the population have been identified. First, these are indicators that assess the position of an individual in relation to the work of the authorities and administration; secondly, indicators characterizing the level of activity of an individual’s life position; thirdly, these are the social and status characteristics of potential participants and their resource potential; and finally, these are indicators aimed at identifying social attitudes towards interaction with authorities and readiness for social self-organization. Special attention is paid to the issue of the possibility of sociological measurement of the level of subjectivity of the population. Three levels of such subjectivity are proposed: high, medium and low. The indicators that influence the level of manifestation of subjectivity of the population are highlighted. These include the degree of significance for the individual of the implemented management decision (in this case, a specific national project); forecasting the circle of people who will benefit from the implementation of national projects; the degree of scale of the population’s appeals to various subjects of regional development. In addition, the level of subjectivity of the population is influenced by the degree of interest in interacting with the authorities to discuss significant problems, as well as the willingness to defend their interests. The higher the parameters under consideration, the higher the level of manifestation of subjectivity is.

STUDY OF CLINICAL AND PATHOGENETIC EFFECTS OF ANTI-VIRAL DRUG BASED ON FAVIPIRAVIR IN COMORBID PATIENTS WITH COVID-19 AT THE OUTPATIENT STAGE OF TREATMENT

In many ways, arterial hypertension and obesity determine the likelihood of a severe course and lethal outcomes in COVID-19. This fact justifies the expediency of an early use of drugs with a direct antiviral action, the analysis of their efficacy not only in the acute, but also in the postcovid period.The aim of the research was to analyze the outpatient cards and case histories of the COVID-19 patients to study the effect of the early (up to the 5th day after the onset of the first symptoms of the disease) use of the drug based on favipiravir, on the frequency of patients’ hospitalizations with arterial hypertension and obesity, as well as to determine the cytokine status characteristics of this patient category in the postcovid period.Materials and methods. “An open prospective comparative study of the “Areplivir®” (favipiravir) efficacy in the debut of COVID-19 in comorbid patients” was carried out in the Republic of Mordovia (the analysis of the hospitalizations frequency and blood levels of M-CSF, EPO in 218 patients, in terms of the use of the antiviral preparation).Results. According to the results of the analysis, it was found out that, despite the presence of comorbid conditions that increase the risk of developing a severe course of COVID-19, i.e. obesity and essential arterial hypertension, in the group of patients taking favipiravir, the need for hospitalization was twice as low (p < 0.05), in relation to the comparison group. The analysis of the cytokine status revealed that in the postcovid period, in the group that took the drug based on favipiravir at the outpatient stage, the average level of M-CSF was significantly lower (p> 0.05), and EPO was higher (p> 0.05) than in the patients from the group “without antiviral drugs at the outpatient stage”. Indirectly, according to the previously obtained data, that acts as a potential marker for reducing the risk of long-term cardiovascular complications of COVID-19.Conclusion. This study showed that an early prescription of favipiravir contributes to a decrease in the rate of COVID-19 patients’ hospitalization even against the background of concomitant hypertension and obesity, due to a decrease in the likelihood of moderate and severe courses of the disease, and also leads to an earlier objective and subjective recovery. The results demonstrated a high potential benefit of an early favipiravir use in the novel coronavirus infection and in the prevention of postcovid complications.

Perceptions and explanations of status in the United Arab Emirates: The role of ascribed and achieved characteristics

Ascribed and achieved characteristics influence individuals’ positions in a social hierarchy. I explore how status characteristics and status ideologies influence expectations about economic opportunities in the United Arab Emirates, a wealthy, highly diverse, and internationally stratified society where beliefs in meritocracy are nationally supported. In Studies 1 and 2, participants reported the extent to which they perceived various characteristics to influence an individual’s salary. Participants whose nationality placed them higher in the economic hierarchy expected achieved markers of status to play a larger role than ascribed markers in determining pay. Across groups, the more participants believed in meritocracy, the more they expected achieved markers to play a role. In Study 3, participants predicted the economic success of individuals who varied in ascribed and achieved characteristics. Across participant groups, both ascribed and achieved characteristics were expected to influence an individual’s economic success. Taken together, results suggested that both ascribed and achieved characteristics are expected to influence an individual’s position in the socioeconomic hierarchy, but only differences rooted in achieved characteristics are legitimized. Group differences and implications for system stability are discussed.

Size-Segregated Particulate Mass and Carbonaceous Components in Roadside and Riverside Environments

Air sampling for 12 h diurnal and nocturnal periods was conducted at two monitoring sites with different characteristics in Jambi City, Sumatra Island, Indonesia. The sampling was done at a roadside site and a riverside site from August 2–9, and from August 7–13 in 2019, respectively. A cascade air sampler was used to obtain information on the status, characteristics and behavior of airborne particles with a particular focus on the ultrafine fraction (PM0.1). The number of light vehicles was best correlated with most PM size categories, while those of heavy vehicles and motorcycles with the 0.5–1 μm and with >10 μm for the nocturnal period, respectively. These findings suggest that there is a positive influence of traffic amount on the PM concentration. Using carbonaceous parameters related to heavy-vehicle emissions such as EC and soot-EC, HV emission was confirmed to account for the PM0.1 fraction more clearly in the roadside environment. The correlation between OC/EC and EC for 0.5–1 μm particles indicated that biomass burning has an influence on both in the diurnal period. A possible transboundary influence was shown as a shift in the PM0.1 fraction characteristic from “urban” to “biomass burning”.

The vector subject in the factual ontology of Q. Meillassoux

The concepts of contingency, factuality, and correlationism introduced by Meillassoux are clarified in the article. The question of the contingency of the forms of correlation is revealed in the context of the functioning of post-Kantian philosophy. The contingency of the correlationist theories of a subject is established. The article substantiates the thesis about the dual position of the subject in the factual ontology: Meillassoux reaches the antisubjectivist contingency through a radical overcoming of the various paradigms of the subject, then, the philosopher recovers the position of a strong subject from the non-human contingency. Basically, the article deals with the ontological status, characteristics and factual ethics of the vector subject. It reveals the way in which Meillassoux thinks of the subject in the context of the radical unreasonableness: this is the simultaneous holding, on the one hand, the order of the actual given and, on the other, the contingency of the given and the subject. The factual character of the subject-object dichotomy restored by Meillassoux is clarified. It’s established that non-Hegelian dialectics is the main manner of navigating the subject in the contingent universe. The key property of the subject, its “vectorness”, is determined. The main characteristics of the actual and virtual World are highlighted. Furthermore, it’s investigated how the subject is activated in the direction of the virtual World. It’s noted that the thinking of the vector subject is more focused on temporality than on space. The ontological foundations of the “spiritual exercises” prescribed to the vector subject are analyzed.

Analysis of socio-psychological factors associated with suicidal behavior in persons of military age

Currently, the Armed Forces are facing the problem of the death of personnel who committed suicide, which makes it important to look for the reasons of suicidal behavior.The study involved 169 men, divided into two groups: the first group consisted of persons of military age, in the amount of 115 people and the second group included 54 people who committed parasuicide using highly lethal methods of self-harm (GLIVS). During the study, socio-demographic characteristics (age, marital status, living conditions, professional status, characteristics and conditions of upbringing) and individual psychological personality traits (type of temperament, introversion-extraversion, neuroticism, ostentatiousness, fixedness, formalism, excitability, hyperthymia, dysthymia, anxiety, exaltation, affectability, cyclothymia) were assessed. The calculations were performed using the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics 22.Statistically significant differences between the study groups were due to the presence of differences between persons brought up in two-parent families. These groups differed in the phlegmatic type of temperament (predominant in GLIVS), the character traits of excitability, dysthymia, and hyperthymia. For GLIVS brought up in two-parent families, in addition to the phlegmatic type of temperament, it was characterized by the presence of punishments in childhood, a lower level of education (secondary education prevailed), a lower level of neuroticism, excitability, dysthymia and anxiety, an average level of hyperthymicity.Statistically significant differences between the study groups were revealed in terms of the type of temperament, excitability, dysthymism, and hypotensiveness and were due to the presence of differences between persons brought up in full families.Individuals from full families of GLIVS are characterized by the presence of more frequent punishments in childhood, a phlegmatic type of temperament, a lower level of education, a lower level of neuroticism, excitability, dysthymia, anxiety.
