Hobbes e o problema da personificação na teoria da representação
Authors: Silva Delmo Mattos
Published: June 2022

O propósito desse artigo consiste em discutir os termos da representação e da teoria da autorização em Hobbes evidenciando, por sua vez, as adversidades e as incoerências no modo como a atribuição fictícia interfere na constituição da autoridade em Hobbes. Nesse sentido, torna-se necessário discutir o modo pelo qual Hobbes determina a função do representante na ausência de sua identificação como autor, ou seja, sem qualquer condição de atribuir autoridade aos seus atores. Trata-se, portanto de uma contradição aos termos da racionalidade imposta pelo modelo de representação proposto por Hobbes, no qual a imputação da responsabilidade, no caso da pessoa fictícia, encontra-se ausente de responsabilidade por seus atos e, assim inviabilizando assumir responsabilidade pelos atos de um outro. Para tanto, evidenciam-se os aspectos da pessoa fictícia e a sua relação com os preceitos da autorização não autorizada para definir os termos da atribuição fictícia e suas implicações na teoria jurídica da autorização em Hobbes.
Da educação enquanto afirmação da vida entre a arte e a filosofia segundo Nietzsche no filme “Sociedade dos poetas mortos”
Authors: Mariano Da Rosa Luiz Carlos
Published: June 2022

Baseado no filme “Sociedade dos Poetas Mortos” (1989), o artigo assinala o caos instaurado no âmbito da escola tradicional norte-americana Welton através do trabalho do professor John Keating na instauração de novos métodos de ensino e aprendizagem para a literatura, na medida em que tende a fomentar o questionamento acerca do sentido e do valor da vida e o cultivo de si como possibilidade de produção de um conteúdo novo e extemporâneo e o conhecimento enquanto afirmação das forças da vida. Dessa forma, fundado na crítica de Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) em relação à “cultura histórica” enquanto produto da contradição envolvendo vida e cultura, o artigo sublinha que o saber que guarda raízes na “cultura histórica” se caracteriza como um capital improdutivo, assinalando a inexistência de direitos da Filosofia entre a cultura histórica e o processo formativo-educacional e a necessidade da correlação envolvendo arte e filosofia diante da ciência e da verdade. Assim, contrapondo-se à transformação da filosofia em erudição em nome da “cultura histórica” e aos “filósofos” que se colocam a seu serviço, Nietzsche denuncia a redução do ser, da vida e da visão ao arcabouço de conceitos, opiniões, passados, livros em uma análise crítica que se detém na questão envolvendo os professores de filosofia entre a vida e a ciência do vir-a-ser universal: filósofos ou servidores da “história”?
O direcionamento humano: uma breve contribuição da filosofia e uma leitura do mundo técnico
Authors: Veiga Itamar Soares
Published: June 2022

Este artigo trata sobre a concepção de um “nós” que se constitui a base para um direcionamento mais amplo, diferenciando os humanos frente aos demais seres vivos. Neste sentido, um discurso sobre “nós” necessita de uma base de apoio e, geralmente, aponta para uma direção. Este último aspecto implica, mesmo que minimamente, um direcionamento do ser humano projetado para o futuro. Diante deste contexto, este artigo visa discutir sobre o direcionamento humano e verificar as suas características. Para realizar esta discussão na primeira seção são expostas algumas posições filosóficas por meio de contribuições de Heidegger e Kant. E, na segunda seção, a concepção de um “nós”, será analisada com o foco nos fenômenos recentes do desenvolvimento técnico. A conclusão final aponta que o direcionamento, propiciado pela tecnologia, se adapta bem a certas características já existentes nos humanos em épocas anteriores. Uma solução possível para lidar com o direcionamento tecnológico seria o envolvimento, por parte da filosofia, com certos aspectos já disponíveis sobre o mundo técnico e a fomentação de um espaço de reflexão.
A ambiguidade da definição ostensiva e a convergência entre Wittgenstein e Agostinho
Authors: Da Luz Clodoaldo
Published: June 2022

A definição ostensiva, ao basear-se na ostensividade, visa indicar que a linguagem humana se norteia, tão somente, na gesticulação e indicação. Nesse sentido, semelhante teoria linguística exclui, em grande parte, a considerável eminência da simbologia e internalização inscritos na dinamicidade e interioridade inerentes à linguagem humana. Desse modo, a definição ostensiva, com a pretensão de ser a tese paradigmática sobre a linguagem humana, não a explicitaria, tampouco sintetizaria em si toda a riqueza presente na linguagem humana. Perante isso, o presente artigo visa refletir acerca da ambiguidade da definição ostensiva e a convergência entre Wittgenstein e Agostinho. Ambos, embora distante temporalmente, não endossam a definição ostensiva como base de suas teses sobre a linguagem humana. Assim, em primeiro lugar, será apresentada uma conceituação sobre a definição ostensiva. Para depois, investigar sobre a crítica de Wittgenstein sobre tal conceito linguístico e, por fim, ponderar que, também, Agostinho não tem a definição ostensiva como base de sua concepção sobre a linguagem.
Considerações acerca da noção de história no conceito de genealogia nietzschiano
Authors: Sodré Fernanda dos Santos
Published: June 2022

O objetivo geral deste artigo é discutir o conceito de genealogia criado por Friedrich Nietzsche. A nossa hipótese é a de que Nietzsche se alia a uma determinada noção de história para criar este conceito. Trata-se então de investigar em que medida Nietzsche toma a história como uma escrita hieroglífica e como esta concepção de história não pode ser pensada a partir de sua compreensão  acerca das origens. Assim, a relação que Nietzsche estabelece com a história é outra, que não pertence ao registro tradicional. Pois, se a metafísica pode tornar a história uma ciência objetiva na qual é possível definir um absoluto, uma constante, e a partir daí traçar um movimento teleológico, Nietzsche pensa a história como descontinuidade, apostando na singularidade do acontecimento. Por fim, apontaremos para a dimensão do riso inerente a este registro de história, e de como o riso do genealogista seria uma espécie de proteção diante da seriedade científica para realização de sua gaia ciência.
Restaurar a diferença na sensibilidade: Deleuze crítico de Kant
Authors: Lelis Matos Leandro
Published: June 2022

A partir da obra Diferença e repetição, pretendo discutir em que medida a proposta de Deleuze de restaurar a diferença na sensibilidade, evitando que a diferença seja confundida com o diverso, tal como propôs Kant, a fim de retirar a diferença da submissão à representação no âmbito da sensibilidade. Isso configura uma nova perspectiva para pensar a questão da diferença na sensibilidade reformulando noções do pensamento transcendental e da ontologia, por meio de uma aliança inusitada entre a ciência e a filosofia. Para tanto, os objetivos a serem cumpridos serão: I) expor a crítica de Deleuze à filosofia transcendental de Kant, no que tange à diferença como o diverso na sensibilidade e questionar o próprio conceito de transcendental como condição para a experiência; II) argumentar a saída de Deleuze para o problema da representação da diferença na sensibilidade a partir da noção de ser do sensível; III) explorar a apropriação de Deleuze do conceito de individuação de Gilbert Simondon; IV) exprimir porque as noções de vontade de potência e de eterno retorno, da filosofia de Nietzsche, contribuem, juntamente com a individuação, para compor o conceito de diferença em resposta aos limites do transcendentalismo.
Ludwig Feuerbach: por quê seu ateísmo é ponderável?
Authors: Espindola Arlei
Published: June 2022

O artigo busca retratar o tema da inversão da teologia em antropologia em Feuerbach alcançando o contexto da tradição filosófica para redimensionar em que sentido é correto entender que o filósofo do século XIX não é ateu e também não se reduz a servir de mero ponto de passagem entre dois grandes autores: Hegel e Marx. Focalizando a questão candente da história da filosofia, naqueles que olharam mais fundo para  o homem, que muito clama por encontrar alento, sentido, paz, diante do vazio, da dor, produzida pela incerteza, a finitude, angústias, impotência e sofrimentos, percebe-se estar revestida desta densidade o trabalho filosófico de Feuerbach que será bem compreendido ao inseri-lo no contexto de discussões presas ao campo de nosso mundo atual, pois o problema com o qual se ocupa diz respeito aos temas centrais da filosofia desembocando nas meditações sobre Deus, religião, teologia, e tudo o que com isso se relacione na vida teórica e prática, revendo a estrutura e funcionamento da religião e dos eventos religiosos como tal, para além de poder ser julgado um mero ateu.
Mergulhos no Aqueronte: por uma universidade rizomática e menor
Authors: Vitkowski Jose Rogerio
Published: June 2022

Este texto resulta de pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza filosófica, apoiada nos registros da filosofia da diferença e/ou multiplicidade desenvolvida pelos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. Nosso intento é situar como a filosofia, assim como a arte e a ciência, se definem pelo poder criador, ou pela exigência de criação de um novo pensamento, contraposto ao pensamento representacional e da recognição. Destacaremos a especificidade da atividade filosófica e sua tarefa primordial enquanto criação de conceitos e pontuaremos elementos de uma pedagogia do conceito. Por meio dela e de movimentos de territorialização e desterritorialização, realizamos um exercício de pensamento abordando questões referentes à universidade contemporânea, contrapondo duas imagens de conhecimento, a saber, a arbórea e a rizomática; propomos ainda o conceito de universidade menor como baluarte de resistência.
O sofrimento e a questão de Deus: uma leitura de Lévinas em tempos de pandemia
Authors: De Oliveira Campos Fabiano Victor , Pires Dias Luiz Fernando
Published: June 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a compreensão do filósofo Emmanuel Lévinas no que concerne às questões do sofrimento e do mal no mundo, mazelas frequentemente consideradas como obstáculos à crença em Deus. O filósofo franco-lituano, fugindo da lógica das teodiceias, desenvolveu perspectivas instigantes e originais sobre esses temas, situando-os em um domínio eminentemente ético. Trata-se de uma ética que foge da reciprocidade, em um contexto de assimetria, com a concessão da prioridade absoluta ao outro homem. Tais reflexões são especialmente relevantes no dramático cenário estabelecido pela pandemia da Covid-19, de sofrimento, morte e incertezas diversas, inclusive no que diz respeito à narrativa de Deus. O novo coronavírus determinou uma crise de dimensões globais, que suscita a necessidade da instauração de um novo paradigma civilizacional, privilegiando princípios como a cooperação, a solidariedade humana e a responsabilidade ética para com o próximo, horizonte no qual as concepções de Lévinas estão inseridas.

The transformation of institutions from STAIN to IAIN and UIN gave birth to new problems in the scientific aspects of graduates who are sometimes ready for religious studies but weak in general science or vice versa. Arabic in the Ma'had Al-jamiah environment is a necessity because it is a tool to be used as a communication tool, so it is necessary to form biah lughoh arabiah. The purpose of this study is to determine the application of biah lughoh rabiah at Ma'had Al-jamiah IAIN Padangsidimpuan. This is a qualitative descriptive study which is carried out to produce qualitative data related to the implementation of biah lughoh Arabic.at Ma'had Al-jamiah IAIN Padangsidimpuan. The research data collection method is carried out through observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique in this research is by using data triangulation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of biah lughoh arabiah at IAIN Padangsidimpuan is carried out in an integrated manner between Ma'had Al-jamiah and the Language Development Center, where formal learning is carried out by the Language Development Center which includes all aspects of language both elements and maharoh and Ma' had Al-jamiah focused on mufrodat and kalam as daily communication needs (mumarotsah), then from the five types of Arabic environment,  environment of vision (Al-Biah al-marwiyah), Auditory and visual environment (Al-biah As-syam iyyah and Al-marwiyah), social environment or teaching and learning interactions using Arabic, academic environment, psychological environment. There are two types of environment that are not maximized, namely the vision environment and audio because they still have limitations on facilities. This study concludes that the implementation of biah lughoh at IAIN Padangsidimpuan is dominant in the social, academic and psychological environment and adheres to an integrative system.

Each language has a specific pattern in sentence structure. Based on this, sentence pattern in Arabic language differs from Tamil language since they are from two different linguistic families namely Semitic language family and Dravidian language family respectively. Therefore, this research focuses on studying sentence pattern in Arabic and Tamil languages by exposing similarities and dissimilarities between them. This research uses contrastive descriptive methodology. This research finds that there are more dissimilarities than similarities in sentence pattern between Arabic and Tamil languages whence use of gender, number, tense, adjective, genitive and articles. As for the similarities, they are in sentence elements, nominal sentence and interrogative sentence.

RNA in-situ hybridization for pathology-based diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP): current diagnostics for FIP and comparison to the current gold standard
Authors: Sweet Arjun , Andre Nicole , Whittaker Gary
Published: June 2022

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a systemic disease of cats caused by a highly pathogenic variant of feline coronavirus, or FCoV (termed FIPV). Two serotypes of FCoV exist: type 1 viruses constitute 85% to 95% of FIP cases, while type 2 viruses are responsible for the remaining 5% to 15% of infections. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) currently serves as the gold standard for diagnosis of FIPV; however, IHC is limited by its wide variations in sensitivity. RNA in situ hybridization (RNA ISH) has an established foothold in infectious disease diagnostics and presents a potentially improved method for detection of FIPV. This study evaluated the efficacy of RNA ISH probes targeted to FIPV, as compared to IHC using monoclonal antibody FIP 3-70. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from FIP-positive cats were used for ISH, with RNA presence determined chromogenically. ISH tissue slides were then compared to their IHC counterparts, with efficacy determined based on metrics including staining intensity and abundance. Positive ISH staining on tissue was found to be both more intense and abundant than for IHC—suggesting that ISH serves as a highly sensitive method for the detection of FCoV/FIPV, in comparison to IHC.

Background: Type 1 diabetes patients may find it difficult to cope with diabetes-related stress, which can be improved by accessible interventions. Objective: The goal of this study was to determine whether coping skill training could increase self-efficacy among adolescents with type 1 diabetes during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study population was adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at Tehran Diabetes Center during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown from June to August 2021. Sixteen adolescents with type 1 diabetes were selected using a purposeful sampling method. The participants were divided into experimental (n=9) and control groups (n=7). The measurement tool was the General Self-Efficacy Scale. A total of eight sessions of coping skill training took place for the experimental group; no intervention was performed for the control group. A multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing SPSS, Version 23. Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of age sex, and baseline score of self-efficacy. In the posttest, self-efficacy score significantly improved in the intervention (71.52, SD=13.86) compared to the control group (48.13, SD=12.96) (F=18.97, P<0.001, η2=0.59). Conclusion: According to this study, adolescents with type 1 diabetes who received training in coping skills showed increased self-efficacy. As a result, it can be concluded that adolescents with type 1 diabetes need coping skills training interventions, including self-management support.

Background: COVID-19 patients across the globe have been reporting several post-COVID health conditions such as respiratory, vascular, cardiac and renal complications and opportunistic infections; the most common of which has been fungal infections. Objective: The objective of our study was to identify socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors, clinical parameters, site of involvement and outcome of patients with COVID-19 associated Mucor Mycosis (CAM) at a tertiary care centre in Rewa (Madhya Pradesh, India), Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study, conducted between 1st May to 30th June 2021; including 40 patients who had Mucor Mycosis with recent or active COVID-19. The data was collected using a structured data collection form by trained interviewers who were already working in Mucor Mycosis Ward. Results: The overall mean and median age of the patients was 50.8 years and 52.5 years respectively, with majority of the males (72.5%). Of total, 47.5% patients had active COVID-19, whereas 50% had recent COVID-19 infection. Twenty-two patients (55%) had co-morbidities, among whom the majority had underlying diabetes mellitus (50%). History of Oxygen supplementation and use of steroids was found in 75% and 45% of the patients respectively. History of self-consumption of decoction (Kadha) and self-administration of inhalation drugs was found among 22 (80%) and 8 (20%) patients respectively. Twnty-one patients (52.5%) had gone through operative procedure/ intervention and 11 (27.5%) patients received conservative treatment. In terms of outcome, 20 patients (50%) had been successfully discharged, followed by 14 deaths (35%), 3 referrals (7.5%) to the higher centres and 3 readmissions (7.5%). Conclusion: Addictions and Indian traditional therapies might have played crucial role in occurrence of CAM. In addition, although Oxygen supplementation and steroid consumption have been life-saving against COVID-19, yet might be responsible for acute surge in CAM cases.

Background: Occupational noise is an occupational risk factor that might affects the body system. Objective: A literature review research was implemented to review the published studies that reported relationships between occupational noise and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Materials and Methods: Three databases were searched. A total of eight articles were identified and included. Results: The results show that noise exposure and high noise levels were associated with an increased CVDs. Additionally, some environmental factors such as temperature imbalance, job strain as well as other social and individual risk factors influence the risk of CVDs. Conclusion: Evidence shows that occupational noise is a prominent risk factor for CVDs. Therefore, it is suggested that noise levels exposure should be reduced by personal and social protective equipment or revision measures.

Background: Ovarian Torsion (OT) is a common gynecological emergency. Clinical presentation is nonspecific, and diagnosis is based on a high index of suspicion. Current recommendations strongly are based on ovarian support. Objectives: To assess clinical findings and therapeutic approach of patients diagnosed with OT. Materials & Methods: In this retrospective study 104 patients with confirmed OT in surgery were investigated. Clinical symptoms, laboratory indices, ultrasonography finding, and therapeutic approach were collected from hospital records of patients from 2001 to 2021. Results: The Mean±SD age of patients was 34.7±14.1 years old. The Mean±SD duration from hospitalization to surgery was 6.4±3 hours. The most common symptom in patients was abdominal pain (100%) followed by nausea and vomiting (76.9%). Ovarian cyst (71.2%) was the most gynecologic etiology of OT. Local tenderness (92.3%) and rebound tenderness (46.2%) were the most prevalent sign in physical examination. Necrotic ovary was found in 60 patients (57.7%) at surgery. Detorsion was possible in only 26 patients (25%). Conclusion: This study revealed that most objective findings in patients were nondifferential. The majority of patients with OT were in the reproductive ages, but just one fourth of them treated with conservative management.

Background: Non-adherence to treatment prevents the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. This study aims to evaluate the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in predicting adherence to treatment in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Methods: This cross-sectional study with a predictive correlational design was performed on 400 patients with CAD referred to public and private cardiology clinics in Kashan, Iran, from September 2020 to July 2021. A consecutive sampling technique was used to select the samples. The treatment adherence questionnaire and a researcher-made Information and Communication Technology Use (ICTU) scale were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 16 using independent t-test, Pearson correlation test, and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean scores of treatment adherence and ICTU was 64.5±13.4 and 42.22±16.6, respectively. Linear regression analysis showed that the two ICTU domains of familiarity with ICT and the utilization of ICT together predicted 27% of variance in treatment adherence of CAD patients (P<0.001). Conclusion: Adherence to treatment is higher in patients who use ICT tools for health purposes. It is recommended that health professionals and policymakers develop appropriate interventions to increase the ability of CAD patients to use ICT.

Background: Cancer is a chronic disease that affects different aspects of Quality of Life (QoL), including physical, financial, social, and emotional aspects. The PRECEDE-PROCEED model is a comprehensive method for assessing patients’ needs, and designing, implementing, and evaluating health promotion programs to meet their needs. This study aims to determine the effect of an educational program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and preventive behaviors in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: This quasi-experimental impact evaluation study was performed on 90 outpatients with breast cancer (stages I and II) undergoing chemotherapy in Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Kashan, Iran from September 2018 to December 2019. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups of training (n=45) and control (n=45). The training group, in addition to routine care, received the educational program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model at eight two-hour group sessions for one month. The control group received routine care for cancer patients only. The participants completed the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and a researcher-made questionnaire based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model (assessing predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors) before the study, immediately after, and two months after the intervention. Results: In the training group, the total Mean±SD of HRQOL before, immediately after, and two months after the intervention were 52.65±17.14, 64.79±15.66, and 63.95±18.63, respectively. Their total score of HRQOL and its dimensions (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, and symptoms) increased significantly over time (P<0.01). In this group, the scores of predisposing and enabling factors also increased immediately after and two months after the intervention (P<0.05); however, the score of reinforcing factors (social support) showed no significant increase (P>0.05). Conclusion: The educational program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model can improve the HRQOL and preventive behaviors in terms of predisposing factors (knowledge, attitude), and enabling factors (family support) in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. We recommend this educational program for improving these patients’ QoL.

Participants were 151 nurses who were randomly selected from among those working in oncology wards of hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2021. The nurses completed the short form of OCSE-N and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations- Short Form (CISS-SF). This study employed exploratory factor analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to examine the factor structure of the Persian OCSE-N. The reliability was assessed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. The data were analyzed in AMOS and SPSS software v. 26. Results: The results of Principal Component Analysis by the Promax rotation and CFA showed that the Persian OCSE-N had two factors: 1) Coping self-efficacy to cope with the relational burden and 2) coping self-efficacy to cope with occupational burden. The correlation between subscales of OCSE-N and CISS-SF confirmed the convergent validity of the Persian OCSE-N. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for factors 1 and 2 were reported 0.75 and 0.77, respectively. Conclusion: The Persian OCSE-N is a valid and reliable tool to measure the perceived self-efficacy in coping with stressful situations among Iranian nurses.

Background: Adequate sleep is essential for proper physical and mental functioning. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the psychological capital and sleep quality of nurses working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study conducted in 2021. Participants were 200 ICU nurses selected from hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences using a proportionate stratified sampling method. Data were collected by McGee’s Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and were analyzed using Pearson correlation test in SPSS v.16. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: There was a significant negative relationship between PCQ subscales and the components of PSQI (P<0.05). The nurses’ psychological capital had a significant negative relationship with their working hours (P<0.001), work experience (P=0.04) and work experience in ICUs (P=0.03). Moreover, their sleep quality had a significant relationship with their shiftwork status (P<0.001) and work experience (P=0.04). Conclusion: Improved sleep quality is associated with increased psychological capital and its components in ICU nurses. Therefore, it is necessary for these nurses to have adequate and quality sleep for proper performance and success at workplace.

Background: The establishment of good eating practices that begins in infancy will impact lifelong nutritional habits and overall health. This study evaluates effective educational models to increase parents’ knowledge and awareness in the field of nutritional assistance to toddlers through published articles from 2010 to 2021. Methods: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Wiley online library were searched according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) guidelines to identify published studies from January 2010 to December 2021 based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two authors independently extracted the related data. The extracted data were synthesized thematically by collecting the main findings, the design, and the applied interventions. The quality of the included articles was assessed using the EPHPP (quality assessment tool of the Effective Public Healthcare Panacea Project) and the McMaster critical appraisal tool. Results: Search results from five databases yielded 842 related articles. However, only 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. The number of participants in these studies varied from 20 to 300 mothers of toddlers. The study designs included randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental, cross-sectional, and qualitative. Home talks, nutrition education, and counseling were the educational methods used. The duration of the intervention varied from 2 weeks up to 9 months. Home talks seem to be a more effective method with direct (teacher-directed), interactive (discussion, sharing), and experiential (learner-centered, activity-oriented) delivery methods. Conclusion: Three of the 7 studies had strong quality, and the rest had moderate quality. The evidence presented in this review has identified characteristics that may contribute to the effectiveness of interventions in increasing parents’ knowledge and awareness of nutritional assistance for toddlers. The overall result from this review reveals the need to improve the standards and procedures in intervention design and randomized controlled trials to improve their effectiveness.

The article is devoted to the study, generalization and systematization of scientific knowledge about the history of the establishment, development and operation of the regional railway system in Bukovyna in the second half of XIX – early XX centuries. The authors attempted to analyze the process of creation and operation of railways in Bukovyna during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire based on a wide range of previously unpublished archival documents, periodicals, statistical literature and memoirs. The article studies the development of organizational bases for the construction of railways, the activity of the communication network management, lists a whole range of requirements and tasks set for railway transport in Bukovyna, the progress of their implementation, considers successes and difficulties in this work. It is determined that private railways, as important transport arteries of Bukovyna, were of national importance and played a significant role in the transport system of Austria-Hungarian Empire. They served the leading economic districts of Bukovyna, acting as an integral part of production in each of them. In other words, they were used for development of local, intersectoral and interregional relations. Regional railways, first of all, played an important role in the social and economic life of Bukovyna region. In most cases, they did not carry the strategic cargo, but made it possible to connect the most remote corners of separate areas of the region into a single whole. In practice, local railways were a significant addition to the main central line, providing the latter with a greater intensity of cargo and passenger turnover and thus increasing their profitability. At the same time, the trade volume between the outskirts and the center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was increased. It contributed to the intensification of economic development of certain districts of Bukovyna region.

The restoration and conservation of monuments and archaeological sites is a delicate operation. It requires fidelity, delicacy, precision and archaeological authenticity. The aim is to reveal, recreate as accurately as possible the characteristics of an archaeological site or part of it. Research during the last two decades has proved that 3D modeling, or the digital documentation and visualization of archaeological objects in 3D, is valuable for archaeological research. As well, as for conservation and presentation to a wide audience, as it allows the creation of realistic and accurate digital copies of archaeological objects. In the past, 3D modeling technologies were prohibitively expensive and too technologically specialized to be integrated into most historical heritage projects. However, advancements in computing and digital photography over the past decade have resulted in several low-cost, user-friendly options for 3D modeling, using photogrammetry. The latter has been used successfully for documentation of historic cultural. In recent years, this technology has become increasingly more popular for archiving, which provide the 3D model and digital ortho-image using high accuracy dense 3D points. The study has opted for the technique of terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry by 3D surveys of architectural elements, to develop an archetype of the deteriorated Islamic Marinid site (a dynasty between the 13th and 15th centuries), and the Roman site (25 BC), located at the Chellah archaeological site in Rabat and Salé cities. However, the recognition of the importance of these Islamic sites, in terms of the evolution of Moroccan Islamic art, requires the combination of large-scale scanning capability of unmanned terrestrial, aerial photogrammetry and the photorealistic rendering of 3D, as well as exhaustive research on the history of this cultural site. The data acquired build an architectural database to archive and retrieve the entire existing architecture of monuments. This study has been completed by photogrammetrists, architects, and restorers.
