The PilT retraction ATPase promotes both extension and retraction of the MSHA type IVa pilus in Vibrio cholerae
Authors: Hughes Hannah Q. , Christman Nicholas D. , Dalia Triana N. , Ellison Courtney K. , Dalia Ankur B.
Published: December 2022

Diverse bacterial species use type IVa pili (T4aP) to interact with their environments. The dynamic extension and retraction of T4aP is critical for their function, but the mechanisms that regulate this dynamic activity remain poorly understood. T4aP are typically extended via the activity of a dedicated extension motor ATPase and retracted via the action of an antagonistic retraction motor ATPase called PilT. These motors are generally functionally independent, and loss of PilT commonly results in T4aP hyperpiliation due to undeterred pilus extension. However, for the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) T4aP of Vibrio cholerae, the loss of PilT unexpectedly results in a loss of surface piliation. Here, we employ a combination of genetic and cell biological approaches to dissect the underlying mechanism. Our results demonstrate that PilT is necessary for MSHA pilus extension in addition to its well-established role in promoting MSHA pilus retraction. Through a suppressor screen, we also provide genetic evidence that the MshA major pilin impacts pilus extension. Together, these findings contribute to our understanding of the factors that regulate pilus extension and describe a previously uncharacterized function for the PilT motor ATPase.

Published: December 2022

Introduction

The gap in bowel cancer screening participation rates between the lowest socioeconomic position (SEP) groups and the highest in Australia is widening. This study estimates the long-term health impacts and healthcare costs at current colorectal cancer (CRC) screening participation rates by SEP in South Australia (SA).

Methods

A Markov microsimulation model for each socioeconomic quintile in SA estimated health outcomes over the lifetime of a population aged 50–74 years (total n = 513,000). The model simulated the development of CRC, considering participation rates in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program and estimated numbers of cases of CRC, CRC deaths, adenomas detected, mean costs of screening and treatment, and quality adjusted life years. Screened status, stage of diagnosis and survival were obtained for patients diagnosed with CRC in 2006–2013 using data linked to the SA Cancer Registry.

Results

We predict 10915 cases of CRC (95%CI: 8017─13812) in the lowest quintile (Q1), 17% more than the highest quintile (Q5) and 3265 CRC deaths (95%CI: 2120─4410) in Q1, 24% more than Q5. Average costs per person, were 29% higher in Q1 at $11997 ($8754─$15240) compared to Q5 $9281 ($6555─$12007). When substituting Q1 screening and diagnostic testing rates with Q5’s, 17% more colonoscopies occur and adenomas and cancers detected increase by 102% in Q1.

Conclusion

Inequalities were evident in CRC cases and deaths, as well as adenomas and cancers that could be detected earlier. Implementing programs to increase screening uptake and follow-up tests for lower socioeconomic groups is critical to improve the health of these priority population groups.

The COVID-19 crisis has had a major impact on youth. This study examined factors associated with youth’s attitudes towards their government’s response to the pandemic and their blaming of individuals from certain risk groups, ethnic backgrounds, and countries or regions. In a sample of 5,682 young adults (Mage= 22) from 14 countries, lower perceived burden due to COVID-19, more collectivistic and less individualistic values, and more empathy were associated with more positive attitudes towards the government and less blaming of individuals of certain groups. Youth’s social identification with others in the pandemic mediated these associations in the same direction, apart from the COVID-19 burden on attitudes, which had a positive indirect effect. No evidence of country-level moderation was found.
When Tears and Prayers are not Enough
Authors: Farelo Mário
Published: December 2022

This text focuses on the ecclesiastical tax transfers in favour of the Portuguese Crown in the late medieval period, through an analysis of the typology of taxes, the chronology of its granting and the justifications presented for its perception. While the justifications given by the monarchy remain framed by the legitimacy conferred by canon law, the clerics’ resistance to its payment reveal an argument based on reality and on the good will to satisfy the fiscal needs of the Portuguese monarchs.
Pleitos y concordias en los señoríos castellanos: Pacto fiscal y autonomía concejil
Authors: Galán Sánchez Ángel , Garcia Ayoso Jesús
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la relación entre la estabilización del sistema fiscal castellano y la lucha por las rentas señoriales a través de los pleitos y las concordias que se dieron en una etapa de clara expansión de la economía en la corona de Castilla (c.a 1450-1550). El recurso a la justicia regia y la concordia fiscal es, en nuestra opinión, un excelente índice para mostrar la funcionalidad del sistema en esa época y la integración de la nobleza en el estado, frente a las resistencias de los vasallos señoriales.
lenguaje que discrimina: las mujeres en las escrituras italianas de los siglos XIV y XV
Authors: Del Bo Beatrice Giovanna Maria
Published: December 2022

La discriminación de género en el lenguaje es actualmente un tema principal en los debates de la sociedad civil y en las agendas políticas. Es una cuestión que se demuestra lejos de quedar superada, como atestigua en el día a día la trabajosa elección de términos con los que referirse a las mujeres en los medios de comunicación. Una de las razones de tales dificultades y la complejidad de su misma superación residen en las profundas raíces históricas del papel disciplinante que el lenguaje ha ejercido sobre la sociedad, al tiempo instrumento y reflejo de ese mismo proceso. La dimensión plurisecular de este fenómeno ha dejado evidencias bien visibles en las fuentes escritas (en las iconográficas también) bajomedievales y puede ser estudiada en varios contextos documentales. En este ensayo, se propone una primera reflexión sobre el tema, basada en el análisis de Il Trecentonovelle de Franco Sacchetti (finales del siglo XIV). La disimetría semántica observable en la «identificación» de las personas realizada en esta obra será, además, comparada con las formas documentables en otras fuentes escritas.
As pesquisas brasileiras em educação ambiental que abordam o tema da reciclagem e suas macrotendências político-pedagógicas norteadoras:
Authors: Leandro Gabriel Brand , Gonçalves Adriano Marques , Angeli Thaís
Published: December 2022

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo caracterizar o contexto de produção das teses e dissertações brasileiras de educação ambiental (EA) que abordam o tema da reciclagem, concluídas no período de 1981 a 2016, bem como analisar as macrotendências político-pedagógicas presentes nesses trabalhos, delimitando qual vertente da EA guia predominantemente as pesquisas que se voltam para a reciclagem. Neste estudo, utilizando-se do Banco de Teses e Dissertações, sistematizado pelo Projeto “Educação Ambiental no Brasil – produção acadêmica – teses e dissertações” (EArte), foram identificados 135 trabalhos de EA que abordam a reciclagem. A partir desses trabalhos, constatou-se que a abordagem do referido tema na educação ambiental brasileira tem sido predominantemente guiada pelo capitalismo de mercado, fazendo-se necessária a estimulação de uma abordagem crítica acerca da temática, por meio da ressignificação de questões políticas, sociais, econômicas e ambientais.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar as informações publicadas em sites, jornais e artigos que retratassem a educação Kokama através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Das análises realizadas, percebeu-se que o povo Kokama passou por vários conflitos, principalmente de identidade, no decorrer de sua história. O fortalecimento da identidade étnica emergiu a partir de 1993, com o incentivo de lideranças Ticuna ao processo de mudanças e fortalecimento do povo Kokama, que se reorganizou e se reafirmou como povo indígena. Nesse período, a educação escolar Kokama conseguiu mais avanços do que retrocessos, dos quais se destacou a criação de várias escolas nas comunidades autodeclaradas. Por meio dos resultados obtidos, espera-se que o estudo sirva de incentivo para mais trabalhos referentes à educação indígena Kokama.
Trilhas possíveis para ver, pesquisar e ensinar cinema no campo da Educação Ambiental
Authors: Costa Rafael Nogueira , Loureiro Robson
Published: December 2022

O escopo do artigo é compreender, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica, de que maneira o cinema tem sido incorporado e debatido por quem produz ciências, nos inúmeros centros de pesquisa e programas de pós-graduação, no Brasil. Nossa hipótese é de que as hibridizações provocadas pelas intersecções entre distintos campos, permeadas pela linguagem cinematográfica, possibilita a criação de um solo fértil para a proliferação de propostas teórico-metodológicas para o campo da Educação Ambiental. Como resultado, infere-se que tem havido um considerável acúmulo de investigações que apontam para formas distintas de se relacionar a Educação Ambiental com a criação cinematográfica. Entretanto, ainda é mister novas iniciativas de sistematização dessas aproximações a partir de pesquisas no Brasil e na América Latina, sendo necessário um esforço coletivo para o avanço e o aprofundamento desse debate.

Authors: ROSA-SILVA PATRICIA DE OLIVEIRA , Silva Giovana Neves
Published: December 2022

A terceira década do século XXI clama pela ampliação da consciência socioambiental, tarefa essa também das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). O objetivo deste artigo é investigar quantos e quais cursos de graduação de uma IES, mantida pelo governo de estado do Paraná, ofertam explicitamente a Educação Ambiental (EA). Através de um recorte documental, esta pesquisa, de cunho quantitativo, descreve e analisa dados dos cursos da Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) que ofertam EA. As variáveis utilizadas foram: centros de estudos, cursos, habilitações ou graus de formação, quantidade de disciplinas, títulos e ementas. Os resultados evidenciam que, do total de graduações da Universidade (n=52), 46,2% (n=24) não ofertam a EA em seus currículos; 44,2% (n=23) contêm a EA como parte de alguma disciplina; e 9,6% (n=5) tratam a EA na forma disciplinar, sendo três disciplinas integralmente, e duas parcialmente junto a outra área de saber. Ao todo, são 53,8% (n=28) das graduações da UEL (Catálogo 2020) que promovem a EA na formação inicial.

Authors: Montini Fernando , Padua Suzana Machado , Souza Maria da Graças de , Neiman Zysman
Published: December 2022

O presente estudo investiga como a versão final da Base Nacional Comum Curricular aborda a Educação Ambiental dentro da área de Ensino de Ciências da Natureza. A metodologia baseou-se nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Teoria da Complexidade e consistiu em analisar como as habilidades educacionais propostas para os primeiros anos do Ensino Fundamental lidavam com a Educação Ambiental. Os resultados da análise mostram que a versão final da Base Nacional Comum Curricular melhorou em relação às versões preliminares, devido à maior inclusão da Educação Ambiental na área de Ensino de Ciências Naturais. Apesar desses avanços, a versão final ainda negligencia a presença de temas socioambientais contemporâneos e apresenta uma concepção de ensino de ciências não contextualizada e transdisciplinar.

E que o problema da poluição por plástico/microplástico são o principal problema que os nossos inquiridos gostariam de ver resolvidos a curto/médio prazo. Este estudo contribui para o conhecimento sobre a literacia científica dentro da comunidade CPLC, promovendo o interesse sobre a investigação científica desenvolvida em prol do Oceano.
Macrotendências político-pedagógicas identificadas em projetos de educação ambiental em contextos educacionais não escolares estudados em teses e dissertações brasileiras
Authors: Campos Daniela Bertolucci , Cavalari Rosa Maria Feiteiro
Published: December 2022

O artigo apresenta um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado do tipo “estado da arte” que visa investigar na produção acadêmica em teses e dissertações projetos de Educação Ambiental em contextos educacionais não escolares, publicadas no período de 1981 a 2016, explicitando possíveis macrotendências político-pedagógicas de Educação Ambiental que norteiam os projetos estudados nessas produções. A macrotendência preponderante nos projetos estudados foi a “conservacionista”, seguida pela “pragmática”, presentes em todo o recorte temporal que compreendeu nossa investigação. A partir da primeira década do século atual aparecem pesquisas que estudam projetos fundamentados em perspectivas críticas, tornando-se mais representativos quantitativamente na segunda década. Mediante os resultados apresentados a Educação Ambiental desenvolvida na forma de projetos em contextos educacionais não escolares sob uma perspectiva crítica é uma tendência ainda pouco representativa na produção acadêmica analisada.

Published: December 2022

Nosso objetivo com este artigo é discutir a circulação e apropriação do conhecimento sobre Educação Ambiental em dissertações e teses produzidas na América Latina. Compreendemos que os conhecimentos sobre Educação Ambiental, quando articuladas a outras áreas do saber, tendem a serem esvaziados, o que o faz figurar de modo secundário e servindo apenas como elemento de contexto social, ou “cenário”, para outras ideias e conteúdos científicos estabelecidos em outros campos do saber. Para realizar nosso estudo analisamos dissertações e teses publicadas nos últimos 15 anos nos países Honduras, Peru e Brasil, observando as estratégias de articulação entre os conhecimentos específicos de uma área mobilizada e o conhecimento produzido sobre Educação Ambiental. Desse modo pretendemos colaborar com a discussão sobre como o conhecimento científico é difundido na sociedade.

Published: December 2022

A Análise Crítica do Discurso promove a articulação entre linguagem e sociedade considerando a possibilidade de transformação social a partir das estruturas de poder existentes. Os processos de formação em educação ambiental se constituem como uma prática social passível de investigação acadêmica que se materializa por meio de eventos sociais como a produção de trabalhos de conclusão de curso.  No corpus desse artigo, investigamos os compromissos e valores ambientais de especialistas em educação ambiental presentes nos seus textos acadêmicos. Foram analisados sete Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso com temas emergentes no campo da educação ambiental que permitiram identificar compromissos com os territórios e problemáticas ambientais locais em textos comprometidos com a transformação social. Valores de preservação ambiental em diálogo com as tradições e com as culturas marcaram os textos. Reafirma-se comprometimentos da educação ambiental com a sustentabilidade. Contudo, não foram observados modos de identificação com políticas contemporâneas de sustentabilidade.
Examination of a bifactor model of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory- Revised
Authors: Faria Miguel , Sargento Paulo , Branco Marta , Teixeira Mónica
Published: December 2022

The current study evaluated a bifactor model for the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory Revised (OCI-R) in two samples, with (n=188) and without (n=408) obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD). Since the OCI-R has been traditionally conceptualized as a correlated six-factor instrument, our goal was to evaluate the fit of a bifactor model against three competing models (one general factor,six correlated factors and a hierarchical model). Results revealed that the bifactor model presented the best fit and that all OCI-R items were influenced by a general factor and by one of the six dimensions. Model-based reliability estimated via Omega hierarchical for the total score suggested that OCI-R items are multidimensional, with the general obsessive-compulsive (OC) factor accounting for little more than half of the variability in the items of the total score, with the remaining variability accounted for by the specific OC domains and other sources of variance. Measurement invariance of the bifactor model was also supported among those with and without OCD. Implications for better understanding the structure and further use of the OCI-R are discussed.
Eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury: Cluster analysis considering eating pathology, emotion dysregulation, and negative urgency
Authors: Gonçalves Sónia , Ramalho Sofia , Machado Bárbara C. , Vieira Ana Isabel
Published: December 2022

Research on the interplay between eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency is needed to inform intervention approaches for patients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury. This study aimed to investigate the characterization of patients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury considering eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. This cross-sectional study evaluated 73 outpatients with eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury (14-55 years; 68 women). A cluster analysis was performed using eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. Differences between clusters were explored on sociodemographic/psychological variables, eating disorder diagnostics and past/current non-suicidal self-injuryengagement. Three clusters were identified. Cluster 1 (n=29) (moderate severity) was characterized by high levels of eating pathology, but moderate emotion dysregulation and negative urgency. Cluster 2 (n=29) (high severity) was characterized by the highest scores in eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency, and included more patients with current non-suicidal self-injury. Cluster 3 (n=15) (low severity) was characterized by the lowest levels of eating pathology, emotion dysregulation and negative urgency, and included more patients with past non-suicidal self-injury. These profiles highlight the importance of emotion dysregulation and negative urgency as treatment targets for eating disorders patients with current non-suicidal self-injury.
EmoLexPros: A database of prosodically incongruent emotional words in European Portuguese
Authors: Gomes Rui , Castro São Luís , Silva Susana
Published: December 2022

In this study, we validated a set of audio stimuli addressing emotional lexico-prosodic congruence. Positive, neutral and negative words classified as such in European Portuguese lexical databases were recorded with matching and mismatching emotional prosodic patterns (positive, neutral and negative). The produced set was submitted to behavioral validation, where each utterance was rated for lexico-prosodic match. Word pairs showing maximal differences across match and mismatch versions were selected (n=55) and subjected to prosody-related acoustic validation. The three types of prosodic patterns, positive, negative and neutral, differenced in F0, amplitude, duration and timbral parameters. Finally, items were catalogued for their psycholinguistic properties. The present validated set may be used for emotional prosody research in European Portuguese. Since it is compatible with passive listening tasks, it is particularly relevant to research and clinical practice engaging populations who are limited in their ability to provide explicit responses.
CREDIT LIBERALIZATION REFORM: A SIMPLE MODEL
Authors: VASILEV Aleksandar
Published: December 2022

This note presents a simple setup of credit liberalization. We find that the effect is not uniform but depends on the level of GDP. In other words, the model predicts that richer countries benefit more than poor countries from opening up their capital account. This finding has important policy implications, as it suggests that developing economies should be cautious when it comes to the liberalization of their capital account.

Rétention du personnel : le cas d’une organisation manufacturière témiscabitibienne qui tire son épingle du jeu
Authors: Merkouche Wassila , Girard Julie-Andrée , Belisle Louis
Published: December 2022

La présente étude porte sur l’exploration, en contexte de pénurie de main d’œuvre, des facteurs expliquant la rétention des employés dans une manufacture témiscabitibienne. Une application partielle du modèle multidimensionnel de la rétention de personnel de Hopkins et collab. (2010) a été réalisée. Également, les auteurs se sont intéressés aux pratiques de gestion visant l’implication et la fidélisation des employés ainsi qu’aux systèmes de gestion des pratiques de travail à haute performance. Plus particulièrement, nous nous sommes intéressés au modèle AMO (Ability-Motivation-Opportunity) d’Appelbaum et collab. (2000) visant, par différentes pratiques interdépendantes, le renforcement des compétences, la motivation et la mobilisation (Jiang et collab., 2012). C’est une recherche selon un devis mixte séquentiel (quantitatif ensuite qualitatif) qui a été conduite. D’abord, 50 employés ont été sondés par questionnaire longitudinal portant sur leur perception quant à différents facteurs de rétention. Ensuite, nous avons conduit cinq entrevues semi-dirigés auprès des gestionnaires de l’organisation sur leurs pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines. L’intégration des résultats descriptifs quantitatifs avec l’analyse thématique des données qualitatives indique une tendance générale vers le maintien du lien d’emploi avec l’organisation ainsi qu’une satisfaction à l’égard des conditions générales de travail et du climat psychologique. Ce portait positif est associé à des pratiques de GRH, selon une stratégie paternaliste, favorisant l’acquisition soutenue de compétences ainsi que le développement et l’épanouissement des employés sur différents aspects. Ces pratiques présentent une synergie horizontale ainsi qu’une cohérence verticale avec les valeurs fortes de l’organisation présentes dans le discours des gestionnaires.
“The Enchantments of Waverley”
Authors: Smith Thomas Ruys
Published: December 2022

Thomas Ruys Smith, “‘The Enchantments of Waverley’: Walter Scott and Children’s Reading in Nineteenth-Century America” (pp. 145–175)

While the deep popularity and widespread presence of the works of Walter Scott in the cultural life of nineteenth-century America have long been acknowledged, one group of his admirers has been relatively neglected. The literary lives and reading habits of American children from this era remain obscure, and their influential, ongoing relationship with the Wizard of the North both before and after the Civil War has received almost no attention. This article therefore explores the vital, persistent, and shifting role that Scott played in the lives of literate young Americans. In the antebellum years, the enchantments of Waverley reshaped the literary landscape for children as Scott’s novels received parental approbation as legitimate sources of textual entertainment and historical instruction. After the Civil War, the generation of Americans who had grown up reading Scott in turn used their own position as cultural gatekeepers to try and kindle a love for his work among a new generation tempted by fresh literary sensations. The overlooked responses of young readers themselves are documented where possible here through correspondence, diaries, memoirs, and, particularly, the vibrant letters pages of children’s magazines.

Published: December 2022

Sanayileşme ve tüketimin artmasıyla sıklıkla gündeme gelen çevre sorunları giderek artmış ve günümüzde ciddi boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Bu sorunun incelenmesi, nedenlerinin açıklanması ve çözümü amacıyla insan davranışları incelenmeye başlanmış ve buna yönelik ekolojik ayak izi farkındalığı ve çevre dostu davranış gibi kavramlar geliştirilmiştir. Okul öncesi dönem ise pek çok kavram ve davranışta olduğu gibi ekolojik ayak izi farkındalığı ve çevre dostu davranışların kazanılması için kritik bir dönemdir. Bu araştırmanın amacı okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin ekolojik ayak izi farkındalıklarını, çevre dostu davranışlarını ve çevre dostu etkinlikler uygulama durumlarını farklı değişkenler açısından incelemek ve bu kavramların birbiriyle ilişkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda ilişkisel tarama modelinde tasarlanan çalışmada tipik durum örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen Ankara ili Altındağ, Çankaya, Yenimahalle ilçelerinde görev yapmakta olan 150 okul öncesi öğretmeniyle çalışılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin ekolojik ayak izi farkındalıkları, çevre dostu davranışları ve çevre dostu etkinlikler uygulama durumlarının yaş, hizmet yılı ve çalışılan kurum türüne göre farklılaşmadığını göstermiştir. Çevreye ilişkin bir kuruma üye olma değişkeninin tüm ölçeklerden alınan puanlar üzerinde anlamlı düzeyde etkisi olduğu; çevreye ilişkin bir hizmet içi eğitim almış olmanın ise ekolojik ayak izi farkındalığı üzerinde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca ölçülen üç bağımlı değişkenin birbirleriyle orta düzeyde pozitif ilişki içerisinde oldukları; çevre dostu davranış değişkeninin, ekolojik ayak izi farkındalığının çevre dostu etkinlikler uygulama durumu üzerindeki yordayıcılık etkisine tam aracılık ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The aim of the present study was to conduct preliminary phytochemical screening, pharmacognostical and physicochemical investigation of Chrysochamela noeana. The fresh and dried herbs were studied by morphology, microscopy, preliminary phytochemical screening and florescence analysis of powdered drug. In addition, physicochemical parameters were studied according to WHO guidelines. Physicochemical parameters and florescence analysis were also performed. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of steroids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and carbohydrates. Total phenol contents were 245 ± 3.67, 179.06 ± 4.52, and 15.98 ± 3.32 (GAE mg/g extract) and total flavonoid content were 180.85 ± 8.21, 146.41 ± 2.56, and 13.46 ± 0.23 (QUE mg/g extract) for ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts, respectively. The IC50 value for extracts in ABTS radical scavenging activity were calculated in order of 51.47, 122.26 and 1146.91 µg/mL, and in DPPH for 1.55, 1.13 and 27.16 mg/mL for ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts, respectively. The results of these studies could be useful for correct identification and detection of adulterants from this plant material.

Study the Yalova Atatürk Central Horticultural Research Institute, Ata-77, Bolverim-77, Doruk-77, Dorukhan-77, Eren-77, Erenoğlu-77, and Hilal-77 strawberry varieties. After the planted strawberry seedlings reached the 5-6 leaf stage, after irrigation at field capacity, drought application was made until the plants lost their leaf turgor. After implementation of the varieties of drought with healing and drought period of watering again losses to determine.

In strawberry cultivars, significant decreases occurred in the amount of protein with the application of drought. In the recovery period after the drought, the protein amounts increased again. Drought treatment significantly increased proline content in all cultivars compared to control. Catalase enzyme activity in all strawberry cultivars increased significantly as a result of drought application in both years. There was a slight decrease in the recovery period. In both years of the study, drought application increased the peroxidase enzyme activity in all strawberry cultivars compared to the control, and a slight decrease occurred in the recovery period compared to the drought application. Drought application in cultivars increased the superoxide dismutase enzyme activity a little compared to the control, while the activity decreased to the control level during the recovery period.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different gluten-free flours on the physicochemical, textural and sensory properties of meatballs. Five different groups of meatballs were produced: C: control meatballs with breadcrumbs, Gf1: meatballs with buckwheat flour, Gf2: meatballs with chickpea flour, Gf3: meatballs with corn flour and Gf4: meatballs with millet flour. The chickpea flour increased the protein content of raw meatballs (P < 0.05). The cooking yield results were higher in gluten-free meatballs than in control samples (P < 0.05). Chickpea flour (Gf2) and corn flour (Gf3) were the most effective flours for reducing the diameter of meatballs (P < 0.05). The highest antioxidant activity was found in the meatballs with buckwheat flour (Gf1) (P < 0.05). The chickpea flour improved the texture of the meatball samples (P < 0.05), while corn and millet flour increased the hardness and chewiness values of the meatballs (P < 0.05). Millet flour decreased the flavour score compared to the control (P < 0.05), whereas the other gluten-free flours had no significant effect on all sensory properties of the meatballs (P > 0.05). This study suggests that chickpea flour had a better effect on the quality characteristics of meatballs among gluten-free flours.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the most important cereal crops that their grains are used in the malt and forage industry. Yield and quality losses occur in barley due to abiotic and biotic stress factors. Barley leaf diseases caused by fungal pathogens are common diseases leading to significant yield losses. Within the framework of environmentally-friendly integrated crop management, disease-resistant varieties should be developed together with a breeding program for sustainable agriculture. In disease resistance studies, the first and the most important step is to monitor the situation of the disease agent(s) in a region or country. For this purpose; In 2019-2020, barley leaf diseases survey in 54 barley fields was done in 5 provinces of Central Anatolia (Ankara, Eskişehir, Kırıkkale, Kırşehir, Yozgat). As a result of the surveys, the most common disease was determined as barley stripe disease (Drechslera graminea). Barley net spot disease (D. teres f. maculata, D. teres f. teres), Barley leaf spot (Rhynchosporium commune) and Barley powdery mildew (E. graminis f. sp. hordei) diseases followed in this order.

The effects of tillage systems on soil properties and crop productivity have been the subject of many studies to ensure sustainable productivity. Aims: In the study, the effects of different tillage methods applied in the intermediate period of wheat-maize rotation on the soil quality properties and corn yield elements were investigated in the pre-planting period (PP) and plant growth period (PGP) of corn. Methods: Conventional tillage (CT), minimum tillage with subsoiling and chisel (MT1), minimum tillage with subsoiling (MT2), minimum tillage with chisel (MT3) and direct sowing (DS) methods were compared. As a result of the tillage practices, at 0-20 cm, the highest bulk density values were measured in the DS and CT methods, and 20-40 cm was determined in the CT method. The penetration resistance values of the soils measured at a depth of 0-80 cm were significantly affected by the applications made in both PP and PGP. The highest saturation value was measured in the MT3, the highest field capacity and plant available water contents were measured in the DS. The effects of the applications on the chemical properties of the soil and the nutrient content of the corn plant were limited. The effects on only grain protein ratio from yield components of corn plant were significant, the highest value was measured in CT. Considering the sustainable management of soils labour requirement and lower costs it was concluded that DS and MT methods are more applicable than CT methods in terms of yield.

This research was carried out to determine the effect of different nitrogen doses on yield and yield components of winter canola cultivars in Konya conditions during the winter canola growing vegetation period of 2019-2020. Three winter canola cultivars (Linus, PR44W29, Es Neptune) were used as material and six different nitrogen doses (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg N ha-1) were applied. The research was established to according to the experimental design of split plots in randomized blocks. Half of the nitrogen fertilizer applications were given in the form of ammonium sulfate (21% N) at planting and the remaining half was given as urea (46% N) at the beginning of flowering. As a result of the study, it was determined that plant height, number of branch on the main stem, number of capsule per plant, capsule length, thousand seed weight seed yield, crude oil yield and crude protein ratio increased, while crude oil ratio decreased in winter canola varieties due to increasing nitrogen doses. As a matter of fact, the plant height values varied between 92.6 and 128.5 cm (respectively, LinusxN50 and PR44W29xN250), number of branch (no. main stem-1) of 2.4-5.7 (LinusxN0-PR44W29xN250), number of capsule (no. plant-1) of 103.9-218.9 (Es-NeptunexN0-PR44W29xN150), capsule size of 5.3-6.6 cm (Es-NeptunexN0-LinusxN250), number of seeds in the capsule of 22.5-30.0 (Es-NeptunexN100-PR44W29xN250), thousand seed weight between 3.2 and 4.7 g (PR44W29xN0-LinusxN200), seed yield of 1361-5373 kg ha-1 (Es-NeptunexN0-PR44W29xN250), crude oil yield between 547.0 and 2466.0 kg ha-1 (Es-NeptunexN0- PR44W29xN150) and crude protein ratio values ranged of 16.2 23.9% (Es-NeptunexN0-LinusxN200).It was determined that there were increases in the values of these properties with increasing nitrogen doses in general. In terms of crude oil ratio, the lowest value was determined at PR44W29xN0 with 39.2%, and the highest value was determined at PR44W29xN50 with 46.3%. It has been determined that there are relatively decreases in crude oil ratios with increasing nitrogen doses. The main purpose of cultivation of oil seed crops is to increase the oil yield per unit area. From this point of view, it was concluded that PR444W29 cultivar among the cultivars considered in the study would be more suitable in terms of oil yield with 150 kg N ha-1 application for the regions similar to the conditions in which the study was conducted.
Figurative interpretation of the story of the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem in the Christian tradition: a donkey with her colt as an image of Jews and Christians
Authors: Nesterova Olga
Published: December 2022

The article contains an overview of Christian commentaries on the Gospel accounts about Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, presenting a particularly noteworthy case of intersection of two principal exegetical traditions, namely the typological and the allegorical one. The story is cited in the Gospels as an incontestable proof of the literal fulfillment of the Old Testament messianic prophecy on the forthcoming King, sitting upon a donkey and its colt (Zech 9:9 according to Matth 21:1-11). Later exegetes come to search a figural meaning of this story by associating two mounts respectably with the Jewish people and the Christians (representing the new God’s chosen people). Such an interpretation was obviously inspired by the solid tradition typological exegesis, where the topic of two rival peoples, represented by the pairs of the biblical patriarchs’ rival sons, have being treated constantly. But the formal transferring of the standard typological meaning to the Gospel story on the Lord’s entry into Jerusalem attested a lacking comprehension of the practical value of the typological method, which was primary aimed to reveal the hidden prophetic and not simply symbolic sense of the Sacred history. The only attempt to connect these interpretations with a typological norm was made by John Chrysostom, who admitted the possibility of discovering a particular kind of prophecies, announced through deeds, not only in the Old, but also in the New Testament. However, even he does not take in account another essential feature of typological interpretations, which not only expanded the range of the so called Tesimonia, proving the validity of Christian belief in the actual coming of the Messiah, but also aimed to provide a justification of Christian claims to the role of the new God-chosen people for the Jewish opponents, for whom the reference to the allegorical meaning of the events of the New Testament history could not have served as a convincing argument.
The folk orthodox movement of the “canonists” and movement of the “kurdukovitsy” in the late 1920s in Orenburg district of the Middle Volga region
Authors: Bannikova Elena

A Christian 's need for extra-liturgical evangelical activity has always existed in the Christian Church and it msanifests itself in intracommunal interation and in service to God, in living the Gospel and in the fullness of life in Christ. Such spiritual aspirations could lead to creating new orthodox communi-ties or to church splits and secrarianism. Those movements often were a reaction to some doubtful or misunderstood activities of the church hierarchy. Various movements of laymen in the Russian Ortho-dox Church through the centuries of its history have been littke-studied and arouse genuine interest in the church environment. The srticle describes the activitiy of orthodox communities such as so-called «canonists» first discovered in the archival documents in the Buzuluk county of Samara province and in the Orenburg county of Orenburg province (since 1928 the Orenburg area of the Middle Volga region). The «canonists» were assessed ambiguously by their contemporaries. The problem is by the in-fluence of so-called «khlystovism» widespread in Russia at the turn of the 20 century. There are exam-ples of alternative communities of so-called «talkers» and «adherents of the orthodox church» and the opposite example of the religious community under the direction of hieromonk Erast (Kurdukov). Like the «canonists» they lived in apocalyptic expectations and existed in late 1920s in Orenburg and in the Orenburg county (later area). The study of laymen community phenomenon helps to adopt positive ex-perience and to avoid mistakes in the activitiy of modern religious organisations.
The Role of Non-Governmental Organizations in Social Investment
Authors: HOREMYKINA Yu. V.
Published: December 2022

This article is dedicated to consideration of the role and place of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the context of social investment. The main role of NGOs in social investment is that they are social invertors, which is a driving force behind the implementation of many necessary for society projects. The acuteness of the issue of Ukraine’s recovery leads to a growing demand for new effective methods of interaction between the state and the society, which social investments from NGOs can become. From this point, the study of the characteristics of NGOs as social investors becomes especially relevant. So, the scientific novelty of the presented article is the determination of the specifics of NGOs as social investors, and its purpose is the analysis of the role and place of NGOs in social investment, their opportunities in the course of social investment. The author has used the following methods of scientific research: analysis, comparison, generalization and induction, analogies, abstract logic method. It has been established that the specificity of NGOs as social investors includes a number of important characteristics, including: greater (compared to other social investors) closeness to the problem, greater flexibility during investment implementation, opportunity to make not only financial investments, ability to perform various roles during social investments implementation, use of diversified sources of financing. The main resources that non-governmental organizations can invest are financial resources, material resources, employees’ work, time spent by NGO employees on work within the scope of social investment, their experience, knowledge and skills, their emotional resources. To determine the role of NGOs in social investment, two parameters are taken into account: 1) the ratio of financial and other types of investments, 2) the nature of the organization’s activities. According to the ratio of financial and other types of investments, NGOs can perform the role of direct investor, which means taking all the costs associated with the investment upon themselves, transferring all the funds necessary to solve a certain problem directly to the target group; or the role of donor, i.e. transfer their resources not directly to the target group, but to other organizations (including NGOs); or the role of donor and recipient at the same time, which means investing not only one’s own but also donor resources. Foreign researchers have identified the main roles of non-governmental organizations according to the nature of the organization’s activities, which are: the role of an investor, the role of a co-founder, the role of a provider, and the role of an experimenter.
