Authors: Fadime Çinar*, Turgay Sirin
Published: October 2020

Background: One of the indispensable aspects of the philosophy of holistic care,and negative situations such as life-threatening illness, spiritual well-being, which isdefined as the search for a relationship with a divine soul, is a requirement that mustbe met in order to maintain the existence of the individual. The patient's need forsocial and spiritual well-being increases even more in cases of long-term treatment,such as cancer, that reduce the quality of life. Determining and meeting the spiritualneeds of the individual in the difficult times of the crisis can be realized bydetermining the spiritual well-being levels of the individuals and by providing theindividual spiritual care. This study was conducted to determine the level of thespiritual well-being of palliative care patients diagnosed with cancer. Methods: Thisis a descriptive study. The population of the study consisted of 124 patientsdiagnosed with cancer who were hospitalized in the palliative unit between Januaryand August 2018 and were treated in two state hospitals operating on the Europeanside of Istanbul. The sample consisted of 111 people with voluntary participationand communication. Personal Information Form and Spiritual Well-being Scalewere used to collect data. Data were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (one-way anova) and significance (t-test) of the difference between the two means.Results: The total score averages from the spiritual good scale of individualsparticipating in the Study were determined to be good with x = 4,15. In terms ofthe level of education of Scale scores, only "Anomi" is significantly differentiatedbetween groups of age, with a total score of the scale, In the sub-dimension oftranscendity and the subdimension of "Harmony with Nature" according to thevariable metastasis (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Spiritual Well-being has a positive effecton the healing process of individuals with impaired health. It helps individuals whohave a crisis in life threatening diseases such as Cancer to cope with this crisis and toprovide spiritual well-being in the sense of life. In This process, spiritual careinitiatives by healthcare professionals can be transformed into a part of the healingprocess and the spiritual goodness of the individual can be increased. Furtherresearch in This area is projected to contribute to the richening of the relevantliterature in Turkey.Key words: Spiritual, spiritual well-being, palliative care, palliative care unit

Absztrakt:

Bevezetés: A gyulladásos bélbetegség olyan kórkép, mely a
diagnózistól kezdve élethosszig hatással van a betegek fizikális és pszichés
egészségi állapotára és életminőségére. Célkitűzés:
Megvizsgálni gyulladásos bélbetegek körében a depresszív tünetek és az
öngyilkossági gondolatok előfordulásának gyakoriságát, valamint az ezekkel
összefüggésben lévő betegség- és terápiaspecifikus tényezőket.
Módszer: A vizsgálatban 300 fő vett részt (átlagéletkor
38,8 év, férfiak 47%, nők 53%). A depresszív tüneteket (PHQ-9), öngyilkossági
gondolatokat (PHQ-9 9. tétele), a reménytelenség mértékét (Beck Reménytelenség
Skála) és a betegséggel összefüggő jóllét mértékét (SIBDQ) vizsgáltuk online
formában. Eredmények: A vizsgálati személyek 28,6%-a mutatott
depresszív tüneteket, és 9,3%-uk a magas rizikójú csoportba tartozik a
reménytelenség tekintetében. Öngyilkossági gondolatokat a válaszadók 16%-a
jelzett, ebből magas rizikót a minta 5,3%-a mutatott. A lineáris regressziós
modell eredménye alapján a depresszív tüneteket magyarázó tényezők közé tartozik
a reménytelenség mértéke, a bélen kívüli tünet fennállása, fájdalomcsillapító

Published: October 2020

Abstract Early-ripening peach cultivars present difficulties in the process of natural germination of seeds. In order to solve this problem, the culture of embryos in vitro can be considered an alternative, in which seeds find conditions to complete germination and development in a satisfactory way. Different protocols and culture media have been tested to meet the nutritional needs of the embryo, but they still have problems and need to be optimized. The objective of this work was to test culture media and BAP concentrations in order to increase the germination percentage of embryos and viable ‘BRS Kampai’ peach seedlings, avoiding possible anomalies in the process. The experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Tissue Culture – “Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná”, Campus of Pato Branco. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, in 2x5 factorial, with four replicates, with plot being represented by 15 embryos. The culture media tested were MS and WPM with five BAP concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg L-1). In the in vitro period, seed germination was evaluated through the attribution of scores, and embryo development, measuring the length of stem and main root. During the acclimatization period, seedlings were evaluated for survival, stem length, viable seedlings and rosette formation. Considering the conditions under which the experiment was conducted, it was concluded that MS culture medium with the addition of 1 mg L-1 of BAP allowed higher germination percentage and viable ‘BRS Kampai’ peach seedlings.

Published: October 2020

Abstract Objective: to verify if national public policies and municipal programs contain elements that contribute to ensure the Human Right to Adequate Food (HRAF) of older adults undergoing home enteral nutrition therapy (HENT) and to propose the integration of these elements. Method: a qualitative study was carried out based on the content analysis of the documents of the National Policy for Older Adults (or PNI), the National Policy for the Health of Older Adults (or PNSPI) and the National Food and Nutrition Policy (or PNAN). Analysis of the relationships (co-occurrences) in programs of the 29 cities of the 2nd regional health region of Paraná to provide care for people with special dietary needs (SDN), such as older adults undergoing HENT, was also carried out. For the analysis of the relationships, the keywords older adult and right were used. Furthermore, the integration of national public policies and municipal programs was proposed. Results: the PNI, PNSPI and PNAN contain converging principles, guidelines and actions, but they are not fully integrated into the programs. Only seven cities with programs that aimed to organize care involving SDN were identified, documented in five protocols and two decrees. A co-occurrence was verified in three of the analyzed documents, but a relationship between the keywords older adult and right was not verified in the protocols and decrees. In the integration proposal, a network was described, based around the goal of reaching the center, which represents the HRAF for older adults undergoing HENT. Conclusion: national public policies contain elements to ensure the HRAF of older adults undergoing HENT, but the municipal programs do not include all these elements. A proposal to integrate the elements was created.
Mapping Organizational Culture Schemas Based on Correlational Class Analysis: A Tutorial
Authors: Rossoni Luciano , Gonçalves Clayton Pereira , Silva Mônica Pereira da , Gonçalves Alex Ferreira
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Context: organizational culture tends to be investigated based on organizational consensus degree, even when it is seen as shared meanings. However, sharing meanings does not imply having the same opinions. On the contrary, there may be agreement on which cultural elements are relevant, even when opinions differ from each other, a fact that enables individuals to share cultural schemas, although they disagree with each other’s answers. Objective: we aim to use a scale of organizational values adapted to the Brazilian context to map cultural schemas based on a survey conducted with 207 workers from different companies. Method: recent advancements in the cultural cognition field have enabled the present tutorial article to map organizational culture schemas based on correlational class analysis. This method divides the sample into schematic classes by listing respondents based on the linear dependence between answers given to a questionnaire, rather than on agreement between respondents. Results: two different schematic classes (reactive and resilient) that condition the effect of attitudes and organizational structure on employee appreciation and satisfaction. Conclusions: besides providing a tutorial on how to use the investigated technique, the study points out its relevance for organizational culture field.

Necroeducação: reflexões sobre a morte do negro no sistema educacional brasileiro
Authors: Costa Aline Pereira da , Martins Carlos Henrique dos Santos , Silva Heloise da Costa
Published: October 2020

RESUMO Este ensaio traz para o debate processos de invisibilização do jovem negro no sistema educacional brasileiro tendo como uma de suas principais consequências a morte simbólica desse sujeito, que contribui para outras formas de morrer no contexto de uma sociedade marcada pelo racismo estrutural. Partimos do conceito de biopolítica, que será potencializado com a contribuição de Achille Mbembe, ao trazer e aprofundar a discussão com o conceito de necropolítica, que parece orientar parte das políticas educacionais no Brasil. Estas, por sua vez, marcadas por um conjunto incompleto de leis, não garantem o acesso e a permanência da juventude negra na escola. Nesse contexto, surge o desafio de aprofundar o conceito de necroeduação para pensarmos as consequências da eliminação dos corpos negros dos espaços escolares orientada por certa intencionalidade que vai na direção do deixar morrer.

Published: October 2020

Abstract Natural products are ecofriendly agents that can be used against parasitic diseases. Eimeria species cause eimeriosis in many birds and mammals and resistance to available medications used in the treatment of eimeriosis is emerging. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo activity of Morus nigra leaf extracts (MNLE) against sporulation of oocysts and infection of mice with Eimeria papillata. Phytochemical analysis of MNLE showed the presence of seven compounds and the in vitro effects of MNLE, amprolium, DettolTM, formalin, ethanol, and phenol were studied after incubation with oocysts before sporulation. Furthermore, infection of mice with E. papillata induced an oocyst output of approximately 12 × 105 oocysts/g of feces. MNLE significantly decreased oocyst output to approximately 86% and the total number of parasitic stages in the jejunum by approximately 87%. In addition, the reduction in the number of goblet cells in the jejuna of mice was increased after treatment. These findings suggest that mulberry exhibited powerful anticoccidial activity.

Abstract Dioctophymosis is caused by Dioctophyme renale, a nematode that usually affects the right kidney of carnivores. The aim of this study was to report on a case of a dog with progressive weight loss and swollen abdomen that was diagnosed as presenting dioctophymosis. The patient underwent surgical treatment through which 34 nematodes were found, of which 18 were female and 16 were male, with a maximum length of 74 centimeters. The parasites were free in the abdominal cavity and inside the right kidney, and had caused peritonitis, free fluid, severe adherences between the abdominal organs and renal perforation. Parasitic diseases with a high number of specimens of this species are uncommon in dogs. The disease progresses with an inflammatory reaction and consequent formation of adherences and granulomatous tissue. This surrounds the eggs that were eliminated in the abdominal cavity by the free parasites. This disease occurs frequently in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where the patient of this report was living. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the case with the largest number of specimens of D. renale removed from a single dog in vivo.

Abstract Spotted fever group rickettsioses are emerging diseases. In some of these diseases, domestic dogs act as sentinels. Canine serological studies have demonstrated that rickettsial dispersion is concentrated in rural areas, seroprevalence being higher where human rickettsioses are endemic. In Rio de Janeiro, the Atlantic forest vegetation has been devastated by urbanization. In this context, we aimed to detect Rickettsia spp. in urban areas of the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Sera from 130 dogs were tested by Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay, and ticks collected from these dogs were tested by polymerase chain reaction. We found the rate of serological reactions against R. rickettsii and R. parkeri in our study area to exceed those of rural and non-endemic areas, highlighting the importance of dogs as urban sentinels. The possibility of contact with opossums and capybaras increased the chances of exposure to Rickettsia spp., reinforcing the hypothetical link between the landscape and the rickettsial wild cycle. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the tick most frequently observed. PCR-positive samples showed similarity with R. rickettsii and R. felis, an emerging pathogen rarely reported from ticks. We observed that rickettsiae circulate in urban places and ticks from indoor environments, which may be involved in bacterial epidemiology.
Professor Robert D. Gillard: Transition Metal Chemist 1936–2013: Part II
Authors: Burgess John , Twigg Martyn V.
Published: October 2020

The second part of this commemoration covers the final stage of Robert Gillard’s career as Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Cardiff University and his time in retirement. At Cardiff he built on earlier work while extending his scientific interests still further into mineralogical and archaeological chemistry, and even into forensic dentistry. Coordination chemistry research continued and included the polysulfide S5 chain as a bidentate ligand in the all-inorganic cyclic PtS5 unit and the rhodium(III) complex [Rh(S5)3]3–. His penchant for discussion led him into several controversies, particularly over his ‘covalent hydration’ hypothesis of coordinated nitrogen-carbon double bonds in metal complexes which included those with platinum and 2,2’-bipyridine. He travelled widely attending international conferences and giving lectures. Research collaborations continued throughout his time at Cardiff and in particular he had many strong links with Portugal, both with colleagues there and as supervisor of Portuguese higher degree students at Cardiff. His years in retirement were spent in finalising his research legacy, in continuing to read historical literature, both chemical and otherwise, and in following his musical interests that had included many years singing in the Cwmbach Male Voice Choir.
Lightweight FRC infill wall: in-plane and out-of-plane loading tests
Authors: Reggia Adriano , Morbi Alessandro , Preti Marco , Plizzari Giovanni A.
Published: October 2020

The continued interest in technological innovation in construction has greatly broadened the horizons of material science, developing a specific sector closely related to the recycling of waste products. This paper examines the thermal, mechanical and structural behaviour of an insulating light weight fibre reinforced concrete (ILWFRC), which is made by replacing natural sand and gravel with artificial aggregates resulting from the process of glass recycling. ILWFRC offers low density (approximately 650 kg/m3), excellent thermal characteristics (thermal conductivity 0.1 W/mK), a compressive strength similar to brick masonry (3.5 MPa) with low cement content (265 kg/m3) and stable post-cracking behaviour. The mechanical and physical properties of ILWFRC were employed for the construction of a full-scale infill wall (having dimensions of 2.9 × 2.6 × 0.2 m), which was experimentally studied under in-plane and out-of-plane actions. In-plane response showed a maximum lateral load of 359 kN at 1.5% drift, with a residual capacity of more than 75% at 4% drift. The subsequent out-of-plane test was performed up to failure with a maximum lateral load of 67 kN, corresponding to about 7 times the infill self-weight.
Improved method for settlement prediction of shallow foundations on sand
Authors: Berardi Riccardo , Cambiaggi Ludovica
Published: October 2020

Shallow foundations on sands are typically designed with reference to settlements that are difficult to predict with a high level of accuracy. The main uncertainties originate from the soil's non-linear behaviour and the fact that methods currently adopted in practice rely on linear elastic approaches and empirical correlations between soil stiffness and in situ test results. To improve the prediction of foundation settlement it is necessary to account for the dependence of stiffness on soil density, stress state and strain levels – even in relatively simple methods. The main objective of this paper is to provide a contribution in this field. An already formulated elastic approach is revised and modified in order to improve the assessment of soil stiffness, taking into account non-linearity due to strain levels and mechanical non-homogeneity, through definition of an ‘active zone’ that is more consistent with the geometry and size of the foundation. A comparison of calculated and measured settlements demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed non-linear method for both small and large deformation levels.

Published: October 2020

A pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar a influência dos fatores pessoais, institucionais e dos estilos de aprendizagem no desempenho acadêmico dos discentes de Ciências Contábeis nas disciplinas com o maior índice de reprovação de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de questionário aplicado com os alunos do 2º, 3º e 4º anos e foram obtidas 229 respostas válidas. Para testar as hipóteses, foi utilizada a estatística descritiva e multivariada (regressão). Os resultados indicam que alguns dos fatores pessoais, tais como “turno”, “escola do ensino médio”, “estado civil”, “experiência na área”, “horas de estudo extraclasse”, “faixa etária”, “jornada de trabalho”, “membros da família”, “moradia”, “participação econômica familiar” e “renda familiar” apresentaram relação estatisticamente significativa com o desempenho. Dos componentes institucionais, a estratégia do projeto pedagógico do curso apresentou influência, enquanto a estrutura, o ambiente interno, o sistema técnico e a estratégia do corpo docente não foram confirmados. Por fim, os estilos de aprendizagem mostraram-se significativos apenas na disciplina de Laboratório Contábil, na qual estudantes com estilo convergente apresentaram média superior aos demais estilos. A identificação dessas variáveis (características pertinentes aos discentes e à instituição) possibilita à coordenação do curso de Ciências Contábeis e aos docentes estudarem estratégias para melhorar o resultado acadêmico dessas disciplinas, que são as que apresentam o maior índice de reprovação. A longo prazo, também espera-se contribuir para uma melhora nos índices do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes e no Exame de Suficiência.
The Role of Russia in the Development of Integration Processes in Emerging Markets
Authors: Kheyfets B.A. , Chernova V.Yu.
Published: October 2020

Due to post-crisis slowdown in globalization, there is a necessity to structurally transform the Russian economy, strengthen the existing strategic partnerships and explore new economic growth points. Thus, the paper substantiates the importance of Russia’s participation in macro-regional economic associations. We examine the problems and risks of partnership development between the countries. Based on a mutual trade significance index, we analyse the importance of trade between the Russian Federation and the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa), and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The analysis shows that the share of Russian trade with the BRICS and SCO countries is growing fastest, largely due to the trade with China. At the same time, for the economic growth of the EAEU member countries, intra-union trade is less beneficial than the development of foreign trade relations. Moreover, recently the EAEU partners of Russia have been more interested in establishing and developing relations with third countries. The EAEU countries face a variety of problems during the integration process, including the fundamental incompatibility of the interests of the participants. Based on the obtained results, we demonstrate the development prospects of cooperation between Russia and various integration associations. The main obstacle for establishing new economic unions is the low competitiveness of the Russian economy. Even though the current situation does not enhance inter-regional cooperation, it provides Russia an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region and increase its participation in multilateral mechanisms. We conclude that in the medium term EAEU has to focus on strengthening the existing institutions and creating a modern flexible economic partnership.

Authors: Elsukov Vladimir
Published: October 2020

A method for the synthesis of adaptive systems for nonlinear objects with functional state uncertainty in the forward chain and in the chain of their own feedbacks is proposed. A distinctive feature of the synthesized systems is that they use a self-tuning loop of the amplification coefficient of the direct chain of the system. Moreover, to determine the current value of the gain of the control object of the n-th order, it is proposed to use the derivative of its output signal, the order of which is less than n.

The formation of fiber flax yield and quality parameters depends on many soil-climatic, breedinggenetic, as well as anthropogenic factors. The quality of flax fiber is a combination of a number of features and properties that depend on the varietal characteristics of plants, the conditions of their cultivation, technologies for harvesting and straw retting, as well as on the processing modes of raw materials. During plant vegetation (90-130 days) many factors such as soil conditions (pH 4.8-5.5, humus 1.8-2.5%, P2O5 and K2O – 150-200 and 100-200 mg/kg, respectively) and the area of plant nutrition (15-30 million seeds/ha), temperature regime (the sum of active temperatures 1000-1800ºC), water supplying (400-430 units of water mass to create 1 unit of dry matter) and insolation (the arrival of FAR during the growing season 20-25 kcal / cm²), contamination of weeds (more than 60 annual and perennial species) and pests (more than 200 types of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases), features of phytosanitary measures (more than 50 chemicals) and agrotechnologic manners (Federal Register of technologies for the production of crop products) have a great influence on the quality of flax raw materials and can be a limit factor. Environmentally hazardous pollution of air, water and soil - the main components for the production of fiber flax – strongly affects the yield and quality of flax products. The development of waste-free environmentally friendly technologies for the cultivation, harvesting and processing of flax is an urgent task of scientific support of the industry. The main environmental factors affecting the yield and quality of fiber flax are discussed in the article.

The creation of effective biologized pre-sowing methods of seed treatment of cultivated plants against the background of the conditions of modern absolute "chemical" farming has theoretical and practical significance in the construction of agrobiocoenosis on a biological platform. This work reflects the results of the laboratory studies to identify the effect of pre-sowing treatment on the morpho-physiological characteristics of seedlings at the initial stage of plant growth of promising soybean varieties of the northern ecotype (Zusha, Osmon, Lantsetnaya, Mezenka). The study of the growth processes in the laboratory at the initial stages of plant development makes it possible to neutralize the influence of barriers to the ecological heterogeneity of the environment. It was found that pre-sowing treatment of soybean seeds with an amino acid biostimulant intensifies not only their germination, but also the development of seedlings even against the background of the use of chemical fungicides: the process of water absorption by the seeds is catalyzed, the lag period is shortened, the ratio of biomass to seedling length increases by 78%, as a result, a more powerful root system is formed. Soybean seed inoculation leads to an increase in germination energy. The most pronounced stimulating effect was observed with the method of applying microbiological preparation in the form of spraying: the mass of seedlings was higher than the values of the control variants by an average of 24.0% in varieties Mezenka, Lantsetnaya and Zusha, and the length of seedlings was higher by 23.6% for all varieties. The stimulating effect of the tested drugs arises due to a positive effect on the physiological and biochemical processes of seedlings at the early stages of ontogenesis, which contributes to the realization of the high potential productivity of modern soybean varieties in the future.

The research was conducted in order to develop an effective protocol for introducing strawberry plants into in vitro culture. The objects of the research were the most popular varieties of strawberries of domestic and foreign selection: Tsaritsa, Bereginya, Florence, Frida, Kimberly, etc. Mercurial preparations mertiolate at a concentration of 0.01% and sulema at a concentration of 0.1% were used as sterilizing agents. The isolation of explants was performed in several periods: the beginning of the growth was in February, active growth was in June, the decline of growth was in August. The studies have shown that the maximum aseptic cultures were obtained when processing strawberry plant material with mercurycontaining sulema preparation in the concentration of 0.1%. At the first stage of micropropagation, explants had a high viability during all periods of the isolation, the average survival rate for varieties was 74.8-80.7%. A significant influence of the genotype (varietal characteristics) on the survival rates of explants was noted. The number of explants suitable for cloning did not depend on the overall level of regeneration. Stabilization of the crop during winter introduction was much faster than in other periods. Using the winter term of the isolation of strawberry explants allowed to increase the yield of explants capable of further cloning, accelerate the stabilization of the culture in vitro and reduce the time for obtaining micro-plants suitable for planting in non-sterile conditions. On average, 75.2% of explants capable of further cloning for the varieties were obtained. As a result of the research, the conditions and methods for obtaining the largest number of viable sterile strawberry explants were worked out, which will be included into the process of reproduction in vitro and further research.

Background/Objectives: For motions in off-road navigation, including sandy or wet natural environments and space explorations legged machines, mimicking anatomy of legged animals are efficient. However, the traditional full-actuated legged robots are heavy with complex actuation and control systems, as for each degree of freedom separate actuator is used. The purpose of this work is to develop a kinematic model using a single-actuator for hexapod legged robot taking advantage of bio-inspiration and mechanism design techniques. Methods/Statistical analysis: A vector analysis method was used for measuring the system kinematics equations. The simulation of the walking process was performed using MATLAB. A real prototype of the system has been fabricated based on the design, which is not bulky due to use of single motor, and does not require complex control and sensor systems. Findings: Simulations showed that the kinematic model along with the hypothesis on the ground interaction describes the locomotion, which can be used where robots with low-speed repositioning are required. Theoretical analysis, virtual prototype simulations, as well as initial experiments with the physical prototype, showed an efficient functionality of the system. Novelty/Applications: The design and kinematic model can be used for developing low-energy environmental robots for remote areas with occasional relocation requirements.

Metadiscourse within a discipline: A study of introduction and literature review chapters of sociology masters’ theses
Authors: Akoto Osei Yaw
Published: October 2020

It has been established that there are inter-chapter variations regarding metadiscourse use in masters’ thesis. This paper, therefore, investigates the differences and similarities in metadiscourse use between the Introduction and Literature Review (LR) chapters in Sociology masters’ thesis from an English-medium university. The Introduction and LR Chapters of ten theses constituted the corpus for this study. The metadiscursive devices were manually coded, drawing on the modified version of the Hyland’s (2005a) interpersonal model of metadiscourse. It was realized that there are both differences and similarities between the two chapters in terms of metadiscourse use. In the ranking, the interactive and interactional devices, transitions, and hedges respectively recorded the highest frequencies in the two chapters. Besides, there were significant variations across the two chapters in terms of both interactive and interactional subcategories. The findings have implications for the teaching of English for Research Purposes, and the theory of metadiscourse.
