Authors: Kogan E. А. , Osmanov Y. I. , Shchekin V. I. , Demyashkin G. А. , Kaem A. V.
Published: November 2020

A hybrid oncocytic/chromophobic tumor or a low malignant oncocytic tumor is not officially included in the clas- sification of 2016 WHO kidney tumors, however, in the literature, some authors consider this tumor as an independent nosological unit. A number of authors describe a hybrid oncocytic / chromophobic tumor consisting exclusively of relatively small oxyphilic cells resembling both oncocytes and chromophobic renal carcinoma cells at the same time. The development of morphological and immunohistochemical criteria for a hybrid oncocytic / chromophobic tumor is an important link in the differential diagnosis of renal cell carcinomas with oncocytic morphology.
The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the morphological, histochemical, immunophenotypic parameters of oncocytoma, chromophobic renal cell carcinoma and hybrid oncocytic / chromophobic tumor.
Materials and methods. The study was performed on operational material from 162 patients undergoing surgical treatment at the Urological Clinic I. M. Sechenov and the Urology Center of the Scientific Clinical Center (NCC) of Russian Railways for kidney oncocytoma and chromophobic renal cell carcinoma from 2011 to 2017. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on paraffin sections according to the standard protocol. Antibodies used: EABA, Caveolin-1, MOC31, CyclinD1, CD10, CD117, EpCAM, CK7, DOG1, CAM5.2, CK19, E-Cadherin, Parvalbumin, KSC, PAX2, PAX8, S100A1 and MUC-1.
Results. Based on the performed morphological and immunohistochemical analysis of 162 tumors in 61 (38%) cases revealed oncocytoma, in 35 (22%) showed cases classical chromophobic renal cell carcinoma, in 59 (36%) samples eosinophilic chromophobic renal cell carcinoma and 7 (4%) cases had a hybrid oncocytic/ chromophobic tumor.
Conclusion. In some cases, a hybrid oncocytic / chromophobic tumor can be represented exclusively from “hybrid” cells with borderline signs of oncocytoma and eosinophilic chromophobic renal cell carcinoma.

Aim. The effectiveness of antioxidant correction of oxidative disturbances in women suffering from inflammatory diseases of the small pelvis was evaluated.
Materials and methods. The study was performed on 154 women divided into groups: the control group (n=30), the group composed of the patients suffering from the complex course of chronic inflammatory uterine disease with salpingitis and oophoritis in their exacerbation phase (n=120). The patients of the 2nd group underwent standardized course of treatment, while the patients of the 3rd group received tocopherol and retinol in addition to the standard- ized therapy, the patients of the 4th group were injected with the sodium thiosulfate, and the patients of the 5th group received all three antioxidants at the same time. The study lasted 2 weeks, at the beginning and in the end blood and oral liquid were sampled. In the body liquids the general antioxidative activity and the content of oxidative modifications of biomolecules were determined (TBA-reactive substances).
Results. The performed study demonstrated the presence of imbalance in oxidative homeostasis in women suf- fering from inflammatory diseases of the small pelvis which was characterized by the general antioxidant activity of the blood plasma decreased by 30% and the content of TBA-reactive substances in erythrocytic meal and oral liquid increased by 45%. The injections of tocopherol, retinol and thiosulfate were accompanied by the similarly expressed stabilization of the prooxidant-oxidative balance including the increase in the general antioxidant activity at the sys- temic level and the decrease in the content of TBA-reactive substances in blood and oral liquid down to the proper indices of the group composed of apparently healthy female test patients.
Conclusion. The received data demonstrated the necessity of correction for the imbalance of prooxidant-oxidative system while the evaluation of the correction by means of the lipophilic tocopherol and retinol, hydrophilic sodium thio- sulfate or their combined usage revealed the high effectiveness of each of the used treatment profiles.

Published: November 2020

Intensive studies of recent decades have been devoted to identifying a population of cancer stem cells among the renal tubule epithelial cells. To date, a broad spectrum of genes involved in the molecular pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma has been investigated in search of potential cancer stem cells of renal cell carcinoma. Among them, ALDH 1, CD133, CXCR4, CD24, CD82 and SOX2 can be distinguished.
The aim of the study was to comparative characteristics of stem marker expression – ALDH1A1, CXCR4, CD24, CD82, CD133 and SOX2 in histological variants of renal cell carcinoma and determination of their prognostic signifi- cance.
Subject and method. The study was performed on surgical material from 225 patients with renal cell carcinoma. As a comparison group, biopsy samples from 46 patients with renal oncocytoma were studied. Immunohistochemi- cal staining for the detection of antigens in the paraffin-embedded slices was made using the antibodies to ALDHA1, CD82, CD133, CXCR4, SOX2 («Abcam») and CD24 («Invitrogen»). To identify differences between the compared groups, the nonparametric Pearson’s criterion (ч2) were employed.
Results. Expression of ALDHA1 was detected in 103 (45.8%) cases, CXCR4 in 105 (46.7%) cases. A positive reaction to CD24 occurred in 98 (43.6%) samples, SOX2 in 106 (47.1%) tumors. Among the variants of renal cell car- cinoma, CD133 expression is most often observed in clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma. A higher expression rate of CD82 is observed in chromophobic renal cell carcinoma.
Conclusion. Reliable associations between stem cell marker expressions and clinical parameters were revealed depending on the histological variant of renal cell carcinoma.

Purpose. We studied the role of Na+, K+, 2Cl- cotransport (NKCC) in contractile activity of pulmonary artery seg- ments with intact endothelium induced by incubation in nonisosmotic solutions.
Materials and methods. The influence of nonisosmotic solutions and blocker of NKCC on vascular segments mechanical tension was studied in isometric regime with organ bath technique performed with the 4-channel Myobath II and software complex LAB-TRAX-4/16 (Germany). Hyperosmotic shrinkage was induced by adding 50-300 mM su- crose to the Krebs solution, the hypoosmotic environment was created by reducing the concentration of NaCl from 70 mM to 40 mM. Bumetanide was used as an NKCC blocker. The amplitude of the contractile responses was evaluated as a percentage of the control contraction in highpotassium solution.
Results. The addition of 50-300 mM sucrose to the Krebs incubation solution caused a development of dose- dependent of sustained contractile responses. The amplitude of hyperosmotic striction increased with inhibition of NKCC. Incubation of segments in hypoosmotic solution caused the development of transient contractile responses, the amplitude of which decreased in the presence of NKCC inhibitor.
Conclusion. Iincubation of pulmonary artery vascular segments in hyper- and hyposmotic solutions induces con- tractile responses, the amplitude of which depends on the NKCC activity.
NEUROMODULATOR LIGAND-RECEPTOR SYSTEM TIP39 - PTH2R
Authors: Kurzanov A. N. , Bykov I. M.
Published: November 2020

Widely spread axon terminals of TIP39 neurons have a distribution similar to PTH2R containing neurons and their fibers which provides an anatomic base of neuromodulation action of TIP39. This functional and anatomic link- ing lets state that TIP39 and PTH2R form a neuromodulator ligand-receptor system. Basing on mechanisms of signal transmission used by TIP39 and PTH2R, they can form a neuromodulator system in many brain parts. TIP39-PTH2R system is a unique neuropeptide-receptor system, which localization and functions in the central nervous system differ from any other neuropeptides. Neuromodulator system TIP39-PTH2R predominantly participates in neuroendocrinal modulation by affecting the endocrinal system by means of its presence in several areas of hypothalamus. TIP39 influences neurons that contain somatostatin and corticotropin-releasing hormone. TIP39 can affect the release of adrenocorticotropin, luteinizing hormone, growth hormone and arginine-vasopressin from hypophysis. Experimental data prove that TIP39 modulates regulatory network of anxiety and depression, several aspects of stress reaction and also controls body temperature, participates in processing of auditory and nociceptive information. Physiological role of TIP39-PTH2R system is still to some extent unknown. However, distribution of PTH2R and TIP39 in tissues outside central nervous system assumes other potential physiological effects for this signal way. It is assumed that TIP39- PTH2R system should be probably considered as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of anxiety, depression and chronic pain, control and correction of neuroendocrine disruptions.

The Body and the Divergent CityCulture analytic perspectives on disability and urban spaces

Kristofer Hansson

The city is constrained by a variety of strategies and in this article, two such strategies are highlighted: economic strategies and accessibility strategies. These strategies may function in the same urban space, but this article highlights those places where there is a potential conflict between these two. This is done mainly through ethnographic observations following people with disabilities, and focuses on what is hidden or trivialized in practices in the city. It is argued, that already in the spatiality there is often an inherent conflict between, on the one hand, a desire to create an accessible city, and on the other hand, to create a city with a strong focus on market-oriented economic growth. These two strategies create friction, which essentially becomes visible when individuals with a disability must exhibit a certain creativity to deal with obstacles or constraints that arise.What this creativity can thus make visible are the solutions that individuals use to progress and be present in the city. At the same time, it also says something about the limitations and obstacles that exist in the city. Thus, the divergent city does not become an urban space where a multitude of bodies can be on equal terms, but instead a place where cultural and material boundaries arise that control the room by opening and closing in a constantly ongoing process. Through the two strategies the article presents an analysis of practices that can problematize The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which states the need “to ensure to persons with disabilities access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment” (Article 9 – Accessibility).

The Body of the Patient

Emotions, power and reciprocity in the world of transplantation

 

Markus Idvall

 

Transplantation has been a part of human culture and imagination over centuries. In modern times, from the mid-20th century on, transplantation of solid organs and cells has become part of clinical practice. In this article, I focus on field studies with 1) individuals who have donated a kidney to a relative (living donors) and 2) individuals who have received a kidney from a deceased donor. Transplantation is problematized as a form of inter-corporality and a performative meeting between a recipient, a donor and medical intermediaries in the shape of doctors and nurses. By focusing on the body of the patient we learn about the aspects of emotions, power, and reciprocity in which the transplantation takes place.

The empirical discussion starts with a phenomenological approach towards what it means to have a transplant. In the narrative of one of the interview subjects a specific landscape – a forest – appears as a symbol for the individual body’s transformation or even “rebirth”. The embodiment of the forest signifies both hope and an uncertain future for the individual. In a similar way, individuals who donate one of their kidneys to a relative, also incorporate the patient’s room in the hospital as being a space representing the pain which an individual living donor experiences when temporarily becoming a patient.

In the second part of the article, a bio-political, power-related perspective is included in the analysis. The medical gaze that identifies donors and recipients is discussed in relation to how the human body and body-parts become a form of a national resource in the transplant context. Donor pools and waiting lists for transplants are in this respect tools for realizing a transplant industry on a national and global basis. At the end of the article, reciprocity is introduced as an analytical perspective. By distinguishing the transplant as a gift, emotions, power relations and the multifaceted body of the patient can be seen as inter-connected.

‘A foot and a boot’. Narratives about children killed by wolves in Finnish folk tradition and media material

 

Sofie Strandén-Backa

 

Keywords: wolf attacks in Finland 1880–1881, children, living tradition, mass and social media

 

The article focuses on narratives about children and wolves, and the material consists of different texts that deal with children who have been killed by wolves in Finland in earlier times. The particular events in question are a series of well-known and documented wolf attacks on children in the Turku region during 1880 and 1881. Older newspaper articles, as well as contemporary texts, are analysed. One aim of the study is to investigate what is set in motion when the relationship between wolves and children is discussed and which underlying patterns emerge as part of that discussion. Another aim is to allow for narrative elements to create a base for discourse about the dangerous wolf. The analysis covers peoples’ comments on websites where the discourse is both defended and challenged and where negotiations about the prerogatives of the animal are made visible. Ever-returning narratives about the dangerous wolf are part of a legend process, where one goal is to convince the audience of the truth of the stories. One way of doing so, throughout the years, has been to present what could be called ‘the bloody list’, a list that consists of the name and age of the dead children, the circumstances under which they were killed and what was left of their bodies. In the stories, there was no way to protect the children, and there is nothing the parents could have done once the wolf got hold of their child. The message in these stories from the 1880s is that there is no rescue from the wolf. This message is passed down to parents and further to the children of today, creating a child-eating beast of (every) wolf. Another goal is to keep the stories alive for future generations, since the events are viewed as so important that they are not to be forgotten. The stories have a somewhat emblematic character, since they reflect an original myth about the genesis of modern Finland, freed from untamed nature and the chaos of wolves.

Between the horse’s eye and the human endeavor. A dialectical relationship embodied in biographical portraits

 

Winroth, AnnCristin

 

Keywords: horse and human, antropomorfism, biographical portraits of horses, interspecies relationship

 

Describing horses or other animals in portrait-like fragments or statements is an established practice and a genre that occurs in different kinds of materials and contexts. What does the portrayal of the horse do with the interaction space and with its possibility for agency? This thinking has prompted an investigation of the discourse on horses and discussions about an intergenerational relationship within a life history story. The purpose is to seek to create insight into the animal-human relationship through a close reading of written portraits and descriptions of intertwined biographies within interview material. The article is mainly based on two subject-oriented life history interviews with experienced horse owners, as well as two written portraits of unique horses. Questions addressed in the processing of the material are: How do the informants describe their horse partners? What impact do these interpretations have on the relationship space and to a possible cross-species interaction? How is the significance of the intergenerational relationship expressed in depictions of a shared life course? A central starting point for the understanding of the animal-human relationship is that it is constructivist, in line with contemporary animal studies in humanities and social science research. In the intergenerational space created between a horse and its human, the relationship is considered unique and dialectical. It is negotiated and expressed through socially and culturally expected formats within a very specific context. The phrase The horse’s eye is used in the title as a symbolic and real point of reference that reveals both the horse’s mode and mood, which its human has to take into account. The words Human endeavour refer to the everyday practice that is expressed through the horse owner’s sensual experiences, thoughts, attitudes, training and nursing. Stories reflecting the horse experience refer to both stable and more temporary syntheses within this intergenerational relationship space. The division of roles between horse and human can be perceived as relatively equal or it alternates between different situations, as exemplified in the empirical sections.

Fuel Consumption of a Straddle Forestry Tractor in Consideration of Stochastic Factors

Published: November 2020

Currently, there is a tendency for creation a cross-functional tractor line of drawbar category. Everything is very practical and consistent from the perspective of the producer of such tractors. The number of modular units and assemblies is minimized, and the list of components is reduced. However, all this is acceptable up to a certain limit, which is outlined by the technological trail of the tractor being created and the specifics of its application. The article deals with a straddle forestry tractor of drawbar category of 6 kN. It is assumed that the tractor has a variety of trains of working bodies and machines, as well as a cargo bed on the pin-joint section. The cargo mode of the unitʼs movement is examined by a random microprofile under the wheels in tracks. The problem of statistical dynamics is solved. As an output process, a Laplace image is drawn for the hourly fuel consumption of the tractor engine. As an input process, a Laplace image is drawn for an external random action from the microprofile along the tracks. Herewith, the transfer function of the hourly fuel consumption is determined, which allows to estimate the spectral density of the tractor’s hourly consumption and the dispersion of the hourly consumption for the given microprofile of the tracks. In addition, using the correlation theory of random processes, one can estimate the mathematical expectation of the hourly fuel consumption during transport operations. In the final analysis, it is possible to solve the optimization problem. Namely, the choice of such undercarriage tires, which provide a minimum dispersion and mathematical expectation of the hourly fuel consumption of the transport unit. The situational combination comes down to the fact that an increase in the tire radius on one side increases the height of the center of gravity of the unit, which increases the hourly fuel consumption. On the other hand, an increase in the radius of the tire contributes to a reduction in the coefficient of rolling resistance of a wheel, and hence a decrease in fuel consumption. Thus, there is a problem of discrete optimization, namely, the choice of a tire design, in which the energy costs of the transport unit are minimized.
Introduction of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. to in vitro Culture
Authors:   St. Petersburg State Forest Engineering University named after S.M. Kirov, Zhigunov A.V. , Nguyen Q.T.
Published: November 2020

The increasing need for herbal medicines requires the study of not only biological resources of medical plants, but also methods for their reproduction. Of special value are the medicinal plants that have a long history of success in traditional medicine. One of such plants is Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., which belongs to a rare relict species growing in natural conditions, for the most part, in the undergrowth of humid subtropical forests in China, mainly in the middle course of the Yangtze river. E. ulmoides compares favorably with most subtropical plants owing to its significant frost resistance, which makes it possible to cultivate it outside the humid subtropics. It has been widely introduced in Krasnodar Krai and in the Republic of Adygea (Russia) since the mid-20th century and successfully adapted to various environmental conditions in the Northwest Caucasus. The increasing demand for E. ulmoides bark can only be satisfied by laying out industrial plantations. However, the difficulties encountered in the traditional seed reproduction of E. ulmoides (dioecious species, pollen low quality, parthenocarpy, prolonged seed dormancy, irregular fruiting, long juvenile period, etc.) make scientists turn to modern biotechnological methods of plant propagation. While considering cultivation of planting material, we should focus on highly efficient methods that ensure stable and mass reproduction of the plants under study. An important role is played here by in vitro plant regeneration. The effectiveness of biotechnology methods is due to a reduction in timing of obtaining a large number of vegetative progeny of plants difficult for propagation, as well saving of the area required for their cultivation. The conditions for producing an aseptic culture of E. ulmoides were chosen based on the results of the studies. The highest degree of sterilization of E. ulmoides shoot segments was achieved when the explants were sequentially immersed first in 70 % ethanol (30 s) and then in 0.1 % mercuric chloride solution (5 min). With such a sterilization procedure, 63.3 % of the studied cuttings were made sterile, and 56.7 % of them proved to be viable. The optimal composition of the nutrient medium for regeneration of E. ulmoides microshoots has been determined: MS medium complemented with 1 mg/L 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) + 0.2 mg/L 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The best media for explant rooting are the following: 2/3 MS + 1.5 mg/L NAA + 30 g sucrose + 7 g agar; 2/3 MS + 1 mg/L NAA + 0.4 mg/L IBA + 30 g sucrose + 7 g agar.
Alois Musil and the Oriental studies fellowships in the 1920s
Authors: Jůnová Macková Adéla
Published: November 2020

Professor Alois Musil, Orientalist, Arabist, theologist, traveller, and writer of popular novels, is well known as an explorer of the Middle East, discoverer of Amra castle, and as a founding father of the Oriental Institute in Prague. According to the recent research of his correspondence, an incredible network of contacts, with scholars settled in high positions in learned societies, politicians, and state officials, was found. Alois Musil was not only a receiver of donations and grants but also asked his ‘pen friends’ to donate money or arrange a suitable job for his colleagues and students. In my study, I would like to focus on (not only) Musil’s role in the creation of academic positions for Orientalists as well as on the other possibilities that enabled Orientalists to continue in the job they dreamed about during their university studies.
From Egypt, with love: Lepsius and the tradition of writing modern names in Egyptian hieroglyphs
Authors: Onderka Pavel , Loeben Christian E.
Published: November 2020

The present article surveys Karl Richard Lepsius’ (1810–1884) love for producing modern compositions of Egyptian hieroglyphic texts, and in particular, for writing modern names in Egyptian hieroglyphs. The survey is carried out in the context of new discoveries of such texts on objects kept in the collections of Museum August Kestner in Hanover and the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague. Two newly identified and interpreted texts come from the bases of modern imitations of ancient Egyptian scarabs, which were produced – no doubt under the supervision of Lepsius himself – in a local workshop at Luxor, Upper Egypt, in 1845. As a matter of fact, Lepsius stood at the origins of a still ongoing and extremely popular souvenir production, which employs transcriptions of modern names into hieroglyphs.

Published: November 2020

This article gives an overview of material from Burma/Myanmar in the collections of the Náprstek Museum, with a focus on three types: lacquerware, silverware, and embroidery. Examples from the collection are linked by their use of narrative scenes as devices to embellish the surfaces, especially scenes from the life of the Buddha and scenes from the stories of his previous lives. Historical scenes are often depicted on lacquerware from Bagan. Techniques employed to decorate the objects are very much the same today as they were when the majority of the items discussed were made, that is in the 19th century.

Çocuk hakları tüm dünyadaki çocukların doğuştan sahip olduğu kanunlar ve ahlaki değerlerle desteklenen yaşama, barınma, eğitim, sağlık, fiziksel ve duygusal istismara karşı korunma gibi hakların hepsini kapsayıcı nitelikte evrensel bir kavramdır. Çocuklarla çalışan her öğretmenin çocuk haklarının neler olduğunu bilmesi; uygulamalarında çocukların haklarını gözetmesi ve her çocuğu sahip olduğu haklar konusunda bilinçlendirmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu sebeple gerçekleştirilen nitel çalışmanın amacı; okul öncesi, ilkokul ve ortaokul bünyesinde görev yapan öğretmenlerin çocuk hakları konusundaki görüşlerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma grubunu okul öncesi öğretmenliği, sınıf öğretmenliği, Türkçe, matematik, fen bilgisi, İngilizce, din kültürü gibi çeşitli branşlara sahip ve çocuklarla aktif olarak çalışan 64 öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya ait veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları aracılığıyla elde edilmiş olup içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; öğretmenlerin birçoğunun çocukların barınma, sağlık, beslenme, eğitim, oyun gibi temel haklarına vurgu yaptıkları belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenler çocukların en fazla istismara uğrayan haklarının ise oyun ve eğlence haklarının olduğu görüşünü ortaya koymuşlardır. Çok az öğretmenin çocukların düşüncelerini rahatlıkla ifade edebilme ve katılım haklarının bulunduğundan bahsetmesi ise öğretmenlerin bu haklara ilişkin bakış açılarının yetersiz olduğu düşüncesini akla getirmiştir.

On the problem of information support of decision-making automation

Published: November 2020

For computer programs need a formalized information. As is known, automated control systems work only with formal information. The basis for the formalization of a system of information classification and coding. The use of formalized data allows users to work with software from the automated control systems. By increasing the size of the control systems and the number of used software, there is a problem of organization of information exchange. Normative documents recommend organizing information interaction through communication protocols. However, with the growing size of the control systems there is the problem of maintaining these protocols to date. Within the framework of the currently used "hard" coding system to solve the problem of updating the information exchange is not possible. The aim of the study is to find ways to solve the problem of interoperability based on other principles other than organizational ones. To solve this problem, the article formulates the formulation of the problem of ensuring interoperability in distributed multi-agent environments based on the methods of "fuzzy" classification and coding. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use in the automated decision support systems fundamentally new information and linguistic support on the basis of the methodology of "fuzzy classification". Practice shows the possibility of using algorithmic formalization methods in a cluster of systems that are not too critical to the input information. In the future, with the development of technology, the scope of the proposed approach can be expanded. In the future, this will make it possible to move from the organization of a potentially effective, but difficult to implement in practice, “Single Information Space” to a “unified information field”.

Web resources are an integral part of the life of a modern person, who are now more and more often subjected to hacker attacks. The most popular types of attacks are the SQL-injections and cross-site scripting, but DDoS attacks continue to be in the top 10 of network attacks and lead to serious crashes and failures of web resources. The most common type of DDoS attack is UDP flood attack, based on the infinite sending of UDP packets to ports of various UDP services. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that to increase the level of security of web resources a medium-term forecast of cyber attacks of the UDP-flood type, using the methods of correlation analysis, based on the additive time series model, is proposed taking into account seasonal factors and time duration, which will ensure the necessary level of web security -resources. The type of UDP-flood attacks was chosen as the object of study. Using the methods of correlation analysis and modeling, we calculated the seasonal index of UDP flood attacks, and the autocorrelation of the time series of this type of attack. Using the method of simple exponential smoothing, a forecast of UDP-flood attacks is constructed. The paper proposes a classification of DDoS attacks, describes protection methods. Based on the correlation analysis, the predicted values of the impact of UDP flood attacks on web resources are calculated, and the seasonal factor is revealed. The largest number of attacks is expected in the IV quarter of 2020. For DDoS attacks lasting up to 20 minutes, seasonality was also revealed in the 1st quarter of the calendar year, which means that in the 1st quarter of 2020 the largest number of attacks of this duration should be expected. Prospects for further research into the problem of protection against DDoS attacks are presented in the further development of the methodology for countering UDP flood attacks and information security algorithms for web resources, which will reduce the number of UDP flood attacks and increase the level of web resource security.

Based on materials on the distribution of microplankton ATP and chlorophyll a concentrations in the euphotic zone of the Black Sea, collected on expeditionary cruises R / V “Professor Vodyanitsky” at October 2016 and at March-April 2017, the heterotrophic photoautotrophic index (HPI) reflecting the ratio of heterotrophic biomass and its photoautotrophic parts of the microplankton community was calculated. The interest in comparing precisely these seasons is due to the fact that they are similar in hydrophysical conditions for the development of the community. Water trophicity was estimated by ATP concentrations as an indicator of the metabolically active microplankton biomass. It has been demonstrated that at the autumn season, the studied waters of the landfill can be estimated as mesotrophic, in the spring they are close to eutrophic. With estimation by HPI, at the autumn season heterotrophic microplankton was dominated in most of the water area, and at spring were parity ratios of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic microplankton biomass.
L’impact des variables individuelles et contextuelles sur la performance scolaire
Authors: Chikhi El Mokhtar
Published: November 2020

The notion of performance is the key word of our study. This notion is today at the heart of debates that shake schools. On the one hand the latter must provide quality education and on the other hand schools are subject to the obligation to report to the citizen. These two constraints result in the need to identify the individual and contextual variables of students' academic performance i.e. the factors likely to lead to academic success.

We are aware in our study that we cannot be content with a single determinant as long as the analysis of school performance is multifactorial.

The purpose of this article is to present in the first part the individual and contextual variables that have already been the subject of the research. And in the second part to determine the impact of these variables on the academic performance of a sample representing 11425 pupils of students enrolled in the third year of college education during the 2016-2017 school year, reporting to the management Provincial of Sidi Bernoussi of the Academy Casa Settat region. The data collected is studied using the SPSS software.

Maternal health problems are one of the main indicators of health status, namely maternal mortality. Maternal mortality is still a major public health challenge around the world, including in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to explore aspects of nutritional knowledge related to healthy food, balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding and care during teenage pregnancy for Javanese ethnicity in Ponorogo, East Java. This type of research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. This research was conducted in June - July 2020. The main informants in this study were pregnant women aged 10-19 years in the working area of ​​the Balong Community Health Center, Ponorogo Regency. The source of the informants was determined by snowball sampling. The snowball sampling technique is a form of judgment sampling. Data collection is more emphasized through in-depth interviews (in-depth interviews), namely individual dialogue with informants obtained directly from pregnant women. The results of the study of 6 informants who were teenage pregnant women in the Balong PKM work area, Ponorogo Regency, all informants had underweight nutritional status (BMI / age) and Chronic Energy Deficiency (KEK). The knowledge explored in the form of: food for pregnant women, balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, risk of teenage pregnancy and pregnancy care. Based on the results of the interview, the informant said that foods that are good for pregnant women to consume are fruits, vegetables, milk and vitamins. Regarding balanced nutrition, all informants did not know at all what balanced nutrition for care during pregnancy, the informant said there was no difference in pregnancy care except health checks at health services, treatments such as maintaining cleanliness and regular exercise.
Renewal and Revivalism in Ghanaian Methodism: The Catalytic Role of Prayer Fellowships
Authors: Adubofour Samuel B. , Osei Hosei
Published: November 2020

Branded prayer programmes have taken centre stage in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity, and Methodism in Ghana has its fair share. The origins of these spiritual activities are nebulous. This study investigates the historical roots of the contemporary revival and renewal programmes in Methodist Church Ghana. Through historical and phenomenological research approach, the study highlights the catalytic role played by the twentieth-century prayer fellowships, which functioned as fringe groups in the Church. A re-visioning of John Wesley as a Pentecostal fore-bearer of the Christian faith constitutes an innovative attempt at situating the charismatic renewal movement in Ghana within historic Methodism. The study evinces the critical function of the laity as agents of revival and renewal of spirituality in the Church. Essentially, through the prayer fellowships, the ministry of the Methodist Church is democratised, and clericalism neutralised. The transformation of the prayer fellowship movement into the Methodist Prayer and Renewal Programme (M.P.R.P.) facilitated the formalisation, institutionalisation and regulation of the emergent charismatic movement into a "Connexional" (i.e. nationwide) Methodist activity. What makes the M.P.R.P. relevant is its dynamic response to the African worldview and existential realities of the participants.

Diante da contribuição dos sistemas Instrumentados de Segurança (SIS), em especial os sistemas de alta integridade para proteção à alta pressão (HIPPS), permitindo que diferentes processos sejam levados à níveis cada vez mais seguros, o presente estudo buscou analisar a disponibilidade de um HIPPS em diferentes configurações por meio da influência da arquitetura dos seus componentes, frequências de testes e tempo médio entre os reparos. Para tanto, nos procedimentos metodológicos, foi definido um modelo base de arquitetura para posteriormente serem analisadas diferentes propostas. Tais análises foram subsidiadas pela identificação das variáveis no manual de dados “Reliability data for Safety Instrumented Systems” e modelagens matemáticas realizadas por meio de equações propostas no manual do método PDS “Reliability Prediction Method for Safety Instrumented Systems PDS Method Handbook, 2010 Edition”, podendo, assim, realizar análises comparativas de tais influências. Como achados da pesquisa, está a verificação de que, de acordo com os cenários estudados, as medidas de tempo médio para reparo e frequência de testes se mostraram mais representativas para a indisponibilidade do sistema do que as variações de arranjos. E, ainda, que o aumento da frequência de teste fomenta a elevação do PFD de falhas independentes; assim como o HIPPs na filosofia degradada, em geral, apresentou uma contribuição muito baixa, sendo irrisória para a análise final da disponibilidade do sistema. Entretanto, quando elevado o MTTR, tais falhas mostram suas importâncias para tais funções. Por fim, como suposto por Marszal e Scharpf (2002), confirmou-se que acionamentos espúrios são mais relevantes em arquiteturas redundantes, independente de tempos de testes e tempos entre reparos.

As indústrias ervateiras do Rio Grande do Sul - RS estão inseridas em um ambiente complexo e competitivo e os estudos sobre as questões de mercado são fundamentais para identificar os fatores condicionantes do seu desempenho. Considerando esses elementos, o estudo procurou entender a influência das questões mercadológicas no desempenho de indústrias ervateiras localizadas na região do Alto Taquari no RS. O estudo foi realizado em 27 indústrias, por meio de aplicação de questionário estruturado buscando captar à importância e o desempenho de determinados fatores. Os dados obtidos foram interpretados com a aplicação da matriz importância – desempenho, a qual permite posicionar os fatores condicionantes de desempenho em quatro zonas de ações: zona de excesso, zona adequada, zona de melhoramento e zona de ação urgente. Os fatores analisados no estudo e que necessitam de ações de melhoramento foram os produtos substitutos, a colocação do produto no mercado externo, o grau de concentração dos fornecedores de matéria-prima e a qualidade do produto final. Conclui-se que, por mais que estas atividades estejam na zona de melhoramento, estão muito próximas da linha de aceitabilidade para o desempenho, demonstrando que este setor não apresenta a necessidade de nenhuma ação urgente de melhoramento nas indústrias ervateiras.
