Three Paintings by Egon Schiele: Ideas About the Essence of Art
Authors: Reznikova Ksenia V. , Sitnikova Alexandra A. , Zamaraeva Yulia S.
Published: November 2019

Egon Schiele (1890–1918) is one of the most significant representatives of Austrian expressionism, whose works influenced not only numerous painters and graphic artists, but dancers and theatrical stage employees as well. However, few academic publications are devoted to E. Schiele’s creative work, and among the existing ones, there is a significant proportion of those where his paintings are considered as the evidence of deviations in the painter’s mental health. The main method used in the present work is the philosophical and art studies analysis, appealing to the universal meanings of works of art. Three paintings: Self-Portrait with Black Vase (1911), The Holy Family (1913) and Death and the Maiden (1915), which can be combined into one series demonstrating the genesis of Egon Schiele’s ideas about art in general and about his creative work in particular, are the material for this study
The Sage and the Demos: The Intellectual within Athenian Cultural and Social Landscape of the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BCE
Authors: Svetlov Roman V. , Rabosh Vasiliy A.
Published: November 2019

The Athens of the Classical period saw the emergence of a new social group — the intellectuals. This article looks into their socialisation process, focusing on a part of Plato’s Apology (21а‑22е). In it, Socrates lists three groups of Athenians that compete with the intellectuals in shaping young minds: politicians, poets and artisans. It is these groups that ended up bringing charges against Socrates. The fact that Socrates does not include farmers into his list of the essential estates is analysed separately. The passages discussed here are quite representative for the purposes of historical sociology of intellectual culture, illuminating the way the intellectual conceptualised the role and the place of his social group within the larger polis while entangled in a social conflict of Classical Athens. An intellectual is both unnecessary and inconceivable in the context of the utopian Age of Cronus (Statesman) or the rustic first city (Republic). He does not belong in the classical city either, but can only be found there. The awareness of the conflict inherent in the intellectual’s existence in Athens and the description thereof is one of the manifestations of Plato’s dialectics
Youth with a Migrant Background: Are They Willing to Stay in Russia?
Authors: Rocheva Anna L. , Varshaver Evgeni A. , Ivanova Nataliya S.
Published: November 2019

In the context of current demographic situation in Russia, migration is considered one of the most efficient ways of population maintenance if not upsurge. Labour migrants coming to Russia are mostly young people. Moreover, in recent years, the youth who grew up in migrant families — the so called second generation migrants, the 1.5 generation migrants, and migrants of other more fractional categories — are becoming increasingly important. According to the international research, migration plans of these groups of young people can, to a varying extent, include the intentions to return to their or their parents’ country of origin, higher instability being their distinctive feature. In light of this, the issue of the-youth-with-migrant-background’s willingness to plan their future in Russia and, thus, their potential to be the resource for correcting the demographic situation is getting urgent. Basing on qualitative interviews and online surveys, this article considers the issue of how various groups of youth with a migrant background view plans of their future life in Russia and what these plans are connected with. Less than a half of the first generation migrants are willing to stay in Russia, whereas the majority of the second and 1.5 generation migrants plan to live in Russia in future. The factors associated with orientation towards Russia are the respondents’ age at their first migration to Russia and at the moment of the survey, social ties and identification attitudes. They are significant for both groups. However, there are differences as well: for migrants of the second and 1.5 generations the age at their migration to Russia is less important than their feeling of belonging to Russia, whereas these are legal statuses and documents that are decisive for the first generation migrants. Nonetheless, migration plans among youth with migrant a background are malleable, which opens up the receiving state’s opportunities to attract and retain this group
The effects of melatonin administration in different times of day on the brown adipose tissue in rats with high-calorie diet-induced obesity
Authors: Kalmykova O. , Dzerzhynsky M.
Published: November 2019

The aim of our study was to determine morpho-functional state (area of nucleus, brown adipocytes and also area and number of lipid droplets in each cells, general optical density of tissue) of brown adipose tissue in rats with high-calorie (high fat) dietinduced obesity after melatonin administration in different time of the day (morning and evening). Melatonin was administered daily by gavage for 7 weeks in dose 30 mg/kg either 1 h after lights-on (ZT01) or 1 h before lights-off (ZT11) rats with high-calorie diet (HCD). Besides morphometric parameters as well were measured related visceral fat weight and related brown adipose tissue mass. Rats with HCD had huge changes in brown adipocytes morphology, which summarized in become resembles of classical white adipocytes: grown lipid droplets and cells area, but goes down lipid droplets number and optical density of brown adipose tissue. In general brown adipose tissue with above mentioned characteristic from HCD rats lose their ability to conduct strongly thermoproduction function. After melatonin used in rats with HCD arise leveling of pathological changes, which associated with consumption of HCD. Namely, in groups HCD ZT01 and HCD ZT11 we obtain decreased cells and lipid droplets area, increased lipid droplets number and optical density of brown adipose tissue, in relation to group HCD. Therese received changes has evidence about functionally active brown adipose tissue state, which can also dissipate of exceed energy (lipids – triacylglycerols) amount into whole organism during heat production for avoid to its storage in white adipose tissue and in outside adipose tissue. In addition, evening administration of melatonin (group HCD ZT11) demonstrate more activated state of brown adipose tissueand also related visceral weight gain less, than morning(group HCD ZT01). In conclusions, melatonin influence on morpho-functional state brown adipose tissue in rats with HCD, moreover evening administration can use for obesity therapy via its strong action on activate brown adipocytes.
Approaches to kidney anti-ischemic protection in organ-preserving surgical treatment of patients with renal cell cancer
Authors: Shormanov Igor S. , Los Marina S.
Published: November 2019

The advantages of organ-preserving kidney operations are the improvement of functional results, the reduction in the number of patients with end-stage chronic renal failure in long-term follow up and related cardiovascular complications along with overall patients quality of life improvement. On the one hand, a dry surgical field is necessary for visualizing the resection margin and on the other hand, its creation starts the process of acute ischemic damage to the tissue of the operated kidney. Each minute of kidney ischemia proportionally increases the risk of developing renal failure in the long-term postoperative period. It is especially important to consider the duration of ischemia during operations on a single kidney, with bilateral tumor lesions of the kidneys, as well as in the presence of chronic renal failure. After resection of the kidney, its residual function depends on the preoperative level of glomerular filtration, the amount of parenchyma retained during surgery, and the duration of renal ischemia. The predicted functional insufficiency of the healthy contralateral kidney in the postoperative period is 18%. The possibility of the chronic renal failure onset or worsening of the existing one due to the progression of nephrosclerosis reaches almost 80%. The development of chronic renal failure stage III and above in the long term after renal resection is more than 30%. Thus, there is a need for the development of precision surgery, as well as the search for anti-ischemic kidney protection, aimed at maintaining the maximum volume of functioning renal parenchyma.
The level of nerve growth factor and its relationship with the content of leukocytes and mast cells in experimental interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome
Authors: Sholan Rashad Farhad ogly
Published: November 2019

Relevance. Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) is a debilitating condition of pain and discomfort in the bladder. Due to the limited number of published studies in this area, there is a need for further research.

Objective: to evaluate the level of nerve growth factor and its relationship with various types of leukocytes and mast cells of the bladder tissue in animals with experimental models of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.

Material and methods. IC/PBS modeling was performed on 38 female rabbits. The IC/PBS modeling was created by introducing HCl into the bladder (group 1), urine into the wall of the bladder (group 2), and physiological saline (group 3). Nerve growth factor (NGF) was determined by the ELISA method, and white blood cells along with mast cells in tissues were determined by histological processing.

Results. A statistically significant high level of NGF in blood and urine was observed on the 1st day after IC/PBS initiation in groups 13 and in group 2 respectively. Two weeks after the initiation of IC/PBS in animals of group 1 a decrease in the level of FRN in the blood by 29.3% and its increase in urine by 14.3% was observed; in group 2 an increase by 65.5% (p 0.01) in blood and by 52.7% (p 0.01) in urine was observed and in group 3 a decrease by 30.8% (p 0.05) in blood and by 30.5% (p 0.05) in urine was observed. The greatest number of leukocytes was determined in the tissue of the bladder in animals of the 1st group. Mast cell infiltration was observed in groups 1 and 2. Correlation between the NGF in blood and urine and between NGF and the number of leukocytes and mast cells was revealed.

Findings. In IC/PBS, the level of NGF in the blood and urine is increased. Indicators of nerve growth factor in blood and urine are correlated with multidirectional connections. High mast cell infiltration occurs when damage to the integrity of the bladder by urinary toxicity. Nerve growth factor correlates with leukocyte and mast cell infiltration in the bladder tissue.

Conclusion. During IC/PBS, the level of NGF in the blood and urine is increased. Levels of nerve growth factor in blood and urine are correlated with multidirectional connections. High mast cell infiltration occurs as a response to the damage of the bladder wall integrity caused by urinary toxicity. The level of nerve growth factor correlates with the bladder tissue intensity of infiltration with leukocytes and mast cells.
An improved discrete elliptic imaging algorithm based on guided waves for defect localisation in curved plates
Authors: Hu Gangyi , Chen Shaojie , Chen Chaofeng , Zhai Shuangmiao , Zhou Shaoping
Published: November 2019

Many effective image-based algorithms are available for detecting and locating defects in flat plate-like structures. However, there are few studies on image-based algorithms for curved plate structures. An improved method is proposed in this article, which is based on the discrete
elliptic imaging algorithm and the improved signal normalisation method. To verify its effectiveness, experiments using a circular array are conducted on curved plates with different degrees of bending. The experimental results show that the improved method can accurately locate defects in
curved plates and, compared with the original discrete elliptic imaging algorithm, its range of error in locating a single defect is reduced from 20.2-33.3 mm to 2.7-5.1 mm.

Authors: Krieg F , Kirchhof J , Kodera S , Lugin S , Ihlow A , Schwender T , del Galdo G , Römer F , Osman A
Published: November 2019

The architecture and implementation of a system for synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) reconstruction on ultrasonic data acquired using a hand-held device is described. The reconstruction and the measurement process are performed simultaneously, with the goal of providing
instantaneous highly focused visual feedback to the engineer. The implementation is based on the 3D smartInspect system that is currently being developed at Fraunhofer Institute for Nondestructive Testing IZFP. This system assists engineers by recording, displaying and protocolling manually
acquired data. In this paper, it is shown that it is possible to enhance this system by adding simultaneous SAFT processing on top of the existing functionality. This improves the imaging quality of the system. Possible limitations on the imaging quality are investigated by real-world hardware
set-ups using numerical studies.
Diagnostics of reciprocating machines using vibration analysis and ultrasound techniques
Authors: Kamran M S , ur Rehman A , Adnan M , Ali H , Noor F
Published: November 2019

This paper presents a condition monitoring technique for the identification and correction of faults in reciprocating machines by recording engine vibration signals arising from different processes. The proposed data acquisition set-up allows the analyst to record vibration signals
from different locations, analyse them and make the appropriate decisions regarding predictive maintenance. Data are recorded before and after carrying out major overhauling to assess the effectiveness of the proposed condition monitoring technique. For a complete health assessment, vibration
signals and ultrasonic signature with respect to the crank angle are recorded and interpreted. All of the data are obtained at constant engine speed to depict the mechanical condition of the components and indicate any poor performance. A scuffed main bearing and a broken piston ring are diagnosed
successfully. Suspected components are replaced based upon the findings of the initial analysis and data are recorded again to verify the results. Post-evaluation data confirm a normal mechanical condition and satisfactory performance except for some initial friction. The main objective of
this experimentation is the identification of major tasks related to maintenance prior to major overhauling. This work shows that the use of non-intrusive condition monitoring techniques can reduce the frequency of failures by identifying developing faults.
Velocity‐Based Earthquake Detection Using Downhole Distributed Acoustic Sensing—Examples from the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth
Authors: Lellouch Ariel , Yuan Siyuan , Ellsworth William L. , Biondi Biondo
Published: November 2019

Conventional seismographic networks sparsely sample the wavefields excited by earthquakes. Thus, standard event detection is conducted by analyzing separate stations and merging their results. Emerging distributed acoustic sensing recording technologies allow for unbiased spatial sampling of the wavefield and, as a result, array‐based processing of the recorded signals. Using a cemented fiber in the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth main hole, 800 virtual receivers are sampled at a 1 m interval from the surface to 800 m depth. Recorded earthquakes are approximated as plane waves reaching the bottom of the array first. Following this assumption, the relative travel times of the recorded event depend on the local velocity at the array location and the angle of incidence at which the planar wavefront reaches it. Given the seismic velocity, a newly proposed detection algorithm amounts to a single‐parameter scan of the incidence angle and measurement of data coherency along the different possible travel‐time curves. Using the entire recording array, a much higher effective signal‐to‐noise ratio can be obtained when compared to individual channel processing. About 20 days of recorded seismic activity from the San Andreas Fault is analyzed. Using a downhole single array, the majority of cataloged events in the area are detected. In addition, a previously unknown event is unveiled. We estimate its magnitude at roughly −0.5.

Authors: Govindaraj Sriram , Arivazhagan Ganeshbala , Subramani Jayendiran , Iype Jinu Vadakkanethu , Chakkravarthy Ilango
Published: November 2019

Background: Allergic rhinosinuitis is one of the common clinical problems that otorhinolaryngologist faces daily. Sinusitis symptoms like headache, facial pain and eyelid oedema are frequent in patients with allergic rhinitis, which in turn will affect the cognitive function, productivity and quality of life which impair the efficiency of the individual work performance. It may result in a prescription for antibiotics but the role of antibiotics is debated. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as intranasal steroids play a major role in reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. We plan to compare the efficacy of budesonide nasal spray with mometasone furoate nasal spray in reducing the nasal and sinus symptoms of allergic rhinosinusitis.

Methods: 146 patients of allergic rhinitis with sinusitis symptoms were randomly divided into 2 groups as Group A (n=70) received 256 μg budesonide nasal spray of once daily and Group B (n=76) received 200 μg of mometasone furoate nasal spray daily. The patients were assessed by sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT) score and total nasal symptom score (TNSS) at 2, 6 and 12 weeks interval.  

Results: There is significant reduction in both the groups, in respect to the SNOT and TNSS scores. We also observed significant improvement in the SNOT score in the budesonide group when compared with the mometasone furoate group by 6weeks which continued till the 12 weeks (p=0.001).

Conclusions: Budesonide nasal spray is more effective than mometasone furoate spray in managing both sinus and nasal symptoms in allergic rhinitis.

Published: November 2019

The article analyses specific features of how the cinematic discourse influences the visual component of music videos by the English band Muse. The music video is viewed as a complex semantic entity, where the visual and the verbal components are linked with each other. The nature of this linkage is also studied in this paper.The research also studies the characteristics of the visual component, which is viewed as a part of the complex polycode textual entity music video, as well as the nature of correlation between the verbal and the visual components. The paper analyses topical features of the verbal component, or song lyrics, and the way these thematic features are actualized in the visual component under the obvious influence on the cinematic discourse. Оverviews different approaches to the notion of polycode text among both Russian and foreign scholars and compares their views on specific characteristics of this kind of texts. The influence of cinematic discourse on song discourse within the framework of the analyzed material is studied on both formal and content level.The research has made it possible to reveal several popular scripts, or scenarios, which originated in the cinematic discourse and keep exercising significant influence on song discourse, resulting in utilizing their elements in the visual component of music videos.Besides that, among the results of this research we can mention determining sources of borrowing for the elements, making up the image of the world presented in music videos of the band Muse.
MILITARY EXPEDITIONS OF THE XVII–XVIII CENTURIES IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL AND CIVILIZATIONAL IDENTITY OF RUSSIA
Authors: Kutishchev A. V.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the military history of the late feudal period. The focus of research: marches, relocation and redeployment of troops. This mundane and, at the same time, integral part of any war in the study receives some unusual lighting for military history. The traditional view - in the military-political or utilitarian-professional perspective remain outside the scope of this article. The study of phenomena and facts of field-marshing reality, the explanation of causal relationships in the military environment, attempts to comprehend the meaning of wars and military affairs are carried out from the perspective of a cultural and civilizational approach. From the methodological toolkit, preference is given to comparative analysis, systematization and comparison of the main march indicators during the Great Northern War (17001721) and the War of the Spanish Succession (17011714). The study is based on an extensive and diverse historiographic base, presented by archival materials, domestic and foreign sources, memoirs of eyewitnesses, correspondence of direct participants, descriptions of wars and campaigns, etc. The military campaigns of the Russian army of Alexei Mikhailovich and Peter the Great, the troops of Charles XII, Louis XIV, Evgeny of Savoy, Marlborough are analyzed. The length of communications, weather and climatic features, socio-economic infrastructure, state of communications and other marching factors are viewed through the prism of civilization reflection. Military progress, striving for unification, penetrates into the original cultural and civilizational environment, resulting in a common and particular in the field routine of the troops. It is reflected in the diversity of displays: in readiness to overcome difficulties of field life, in severity or comfort of conditions of service, in degree of well-being and deprivation, in moods of the soldiers masses. A special cultural and mental climate within a military society was formed. Ultimately, the military sphere, being a reflex of a rich cultural, historical, ethnic diversity, helps to realize semantic characteristics of civilization, role of cultures and societies in initiating wars, in pursuit of peace, their attitude to good and evil, to place of man in this world.
FOREIGNERS IN THE RUSSIAN RULING ELITE IN THE PERIODS OF RULING OF PETER THE GREAT AND ANNA IOANNOVNA. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Stolyarov O. D.
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the groups of foreigners who were members of the Russian ruling elite under Peter the Great and Anna Ioannovna. Foreigners are persons of foreign origin, either born outside Russia or within the country, but in families that have retained their identity. The ruling elite is defined as a group of individuals whose formal and informal status allowed them to influence political decision-making. The article presents a comparative analysis of the groups of foreigners who were members of the Russian ruling elite under Peter the Great and Anna Ioannovna on a number of parameters the number, degree of influence, the degree of integration into Russian society, etc. The reasons for which in some respects the position of foreigners in the ruling group was the same in both periods under study, and in others radically different are analyzed. It is concluded that the number of foreigners in the ruling elite in the second quarter of the eighteenth century slowly but steadily increased, particularly in the 1730-ies. This was due mainly to the reasons for the opportunistic nature, primarily due to the fact that in the Annin reign the Russian ruling elite was replenished with representatives of the Courland entourage of the Empress. Also, with a number of reservations, it is concluded that in the circumstances of the rise of foreigners under Anna Ivanovna, favoritism played a greater role than in the reign of Peter the Great, and the degree of integration of these foreigners into Russian society decreased.
ORGANIZATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES OF A UNIVERSITY TEACHER UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF REALIZATION OF MODERN TENDENCIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER SCHOOL
Authors: Kapranova V. A. , Solovova N. V.
Published: November 2019

In the article, the authors analyze the problem of training the teaching staff of universities to carry out organizational and managerial activities. This problem is considered in the context of modern trends in the development of higher education (democratization, internationalization, increasing the openness of educational systems, expansion of integration processes, informatization, transition from mono to inter and transdisciplinary research), which put forward new requirements for educational programs of higher education and cause their transformational changes. It is shown that the traditional approach to the management of educational programs is replaced by an innovative one, involving the delegation of the powers of the head of the educational program to a separate specialist competent in forecasting, implementation, reflection and making effective management decisions. In this regard, there is not only a substantial change and complication of the traditional types of professional activities of the teacher, but also the appearance of elements of the business process in it, in particular, an increase in the share of organizational and managerial functions in the processes of design, design, implementation, quality assessment and guarantee of competitiveness educational program. In the management of educational programs, the separation of management contours into academic management and administrative management is noticeable. Academic management is represented by the academic head of the educational program and the academic Council of the program, and administrative management is carried out by the Manager of the educational program.

La CSS al Desarrollo Transfronterizo: El Caso del Programa Escuelas Bilingües de Frontera
Authors: Fagaburu Debora
Published: November 2019

Este artículo propone un marco analítico/metodológico para orientar el estudio de la Cooperación Sur-Sur al Desarrollo (CSSD) en zonas de frontera y su vinculación con la modalidad descentralizada. Particularmente en América Latina, la CSSD se caracteriza por ser técnica e intergubernamental, la cual busca generar y fortalecer las capacidades nacionales. Su fin último es apoyar el proceso de desa­rrollo socio-económico, pero este “camino” puede verse obstaculizado ante la inexistencia de una participación activa de las unidades sub-nacionales de gobierno y de otros actores locales, como la sociedad civil del territorio. A partir del Programa Escuelas Bilingües de Frontera, implementado inicialmente por Argentina y Brasil, se demuestra que una expe­riencia de CSSD transfronteriza también puede ser descentralizada, se puede ampliar al ámbito multilateral y arrojar beneficios compartidos sostenibles, con un rol protagónico de los ac­tores locales.

China y Rusia En Torno a La Relación De Argentina Con Estados Unidos
Authors: Miranda Roberto
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la inci­dencia de China y Rusia en la relación bilate­ral de Argentina con Estados Unidos, a fin de evaluar si tal incidencia le portó poder a la política exterior del país latinoamericano ante la potencia hegemónica. El estudio realizado está centrado en la política exterior de los go­biernos kirchneristas, entre 2003 y 2015. Por un lado, se considera el vínculo de Argentina con Estados Unidos, el cual no se vio afectado por las relaciones entre el país latinoamericano y las potencias no occidentales. Por otro lado, se examina que la proximidad de Argentina con China y Rusia no fue tan decisiva para las necesidades del país como lo creía su gobierno. En conclusión, el gobierno argentino no cons­truyó poder a través de las relaciones bilaterales con la potencia asiática y la euroasiática para sostener su objetivo de decisiones indepen­dientes frente a Estados Unidos.
In newborn piglets does drying versus no intervention reduce the risk of mortality pre-weaning?
Authors: Blackie Nicola
Published: November 2019

PICO question

In newborn piglets, does drying piglets, compared to no intervention, reduce the level of mortality pre-weaning (up to 28 days)?

Clinical bottom line

Data specifically evaluating drying piglets are limited. Many papers had multiple factors evaluated or were assessments of management in general. There is evidence that drying piglets can reduced mortality and improve thermoregulation of piglets. The cost of such interventions has not been appraised and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, currently when advising farmers it could be suggested that the drying of piglets may form part of a number of recommendations given to reduce piglet mortality pre-weaning.
Ambientes digitales de aprendizaje en educación a distancia para la formación inicial de docentes: percepciones acerca de su pertinencia
Authors: Ñáñez-Rodríguez José Julián , Solano-Guerrero Juan Carlos , Bernal-Castillo Edwin
Published: November 2019

En este documento se da una mirada a la percepción de docentes y estudiantes sobre implementación de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación, TIC, junto con la experiencia de los portafolios pedagógicos, en programas de licenciatura de una universidad colombiana. El trabajo tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, de carácter exploratorio y correlacional, del tipo investigación acción. La muestra estuvo conformada por 77 docentes y 192 estudiantes, de la Universidad del Tolima. Los estudiantes presentan una actitud positiva ante las TIC, la cual está fuertemente correlacionada con su experticia en esas tecnologías. El uso de TIC por parte de los docentes, se ve menguado en la medida en que ellos, según la percepción de los estudiantes, dan mayor relevancia al trabajo orientado presencialmente. La percepción de los estudiantes fue positiva con respecto al portafolio pedagógico, considerándolo como una herramienta que contribuye a la formación y el aprendizaje autónomo, dos aspectos esenciales de la educación a distancia. Se concluye que los procesos de formación trascienden los ejercicios instructivos y de capacitación, en tanto que pretenden una transformación del sujeto, que trasciende la lógica de la ejecución procedimental.
La dinámica de la clase de matemáticas mediada por la comunicación
Authors: Jiménez-Espinosa Alfonso
Published: November 2019

Este artículo de revisión analiza la forma como se entiende la comunicación en la clase de matemáticas. En este texto comunicar es más que informar, es la acción de poner algo en común hasta asignar significado colectivamente; proceso que posibilita la comprensión y establecimiento de relaciones comunicativas entre sujetos, con el propósito de dar significado conjunto a lo que se comunica. También es una interacción social estratégica, donde los comunicadores crean y modifican sus interpretaciones por la influencia del contexto social. Este trabajo deja ver que en el estudio de la dinámica de la clase de matemáticas se usan nombres como categorías de comunicación, patrones de comunicación, modelos, ambientes de aprendizaje, espacios, ambientes de aula y patrones de interacción; los cuales describen las características de las diferentes formas de comunicación que se dan en el aula. Desde la interacción verbal, la comunicación puede tener tres lógicas distintas en el diseño de mensajes; expresiva, convencional, y retórica; y dependiendo de qué lógica un individuo emplea para comunicarse, se escucha su mensaje de forma muy diferente. Parece haber consenso en que una clase de matemáticas donde hay una buena comunicación, sería aquella donde los alumnos se involucran en la práctica del discurso llamado matemáticas.

Published: November 2019

El estudio aborda las percepciones de niños sobre el espacio y el movimiento, a partir de una experiencia de diálogo filosófico en un jardín infantil en Lisboa, Portugal. Según la narración de la experiencia vivida entre adultos y niños, se busca reflexionar cómo establecemos relaciones de diálogo en situaciones de investigación académica. La experiencia reunió ciencias humanas y exactas, expresadas en la pedagogía, arquitectura y transportes. En los encuentros, se buscó suscitar discusiones a partir de temas relacionados con la movilidad y permanencia en el espacio público, como los desplazamientos casa-escuela, los juegos en el jardín y las salidas a espacios abiertos. Al finalizar los encuentros, un cuestionario a los familiares permitió evaluar la relevancia de las prácticas de filosofía con niños en la percepción de las prácticas de movilidad y permanencia en el espacio público. Al observar la evolución de los temas en cada encuentro y las respuestas de los familiares, fue posible estudiar la influencia del ambiente escolar y de algunas experiencias familiares en la formación de hábitos desde temprana edad, que sirven de base a las prácticas educativas que tienen por objetivo fortalecer la autonomía y el bienestar en los espacios públicos y compartidos.

Bu çalışmada, Labiatae familyasına ait bazı bitkiler (Mentha spicata L., Origanum onites L., Melissa officinalis L. ve Lavandula angustifolia Mill.)’de ontogenetik ve diurnal varyabilitenin uçucu yağ oranı üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, Türkiye’nin Orta Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde yer alan Bafra Ovası koşullarında iki yıl süre ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, üç farklı hasat dönemi (Çiçeklenme öncesi, % 50 çiçeklenme ve % 100 çiçeklenme) ve üç farklı hasat saati [sabah (07.00), öğle (13.30) ve akşam (19.00)]  araştırma konusu olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre uçucu yağ oranı değerleri, M. spicata, O. onites, L. angustifolia ve M. officinalis bitkilerinde sırasıyla % 0.83-1.75, % 1.50-2.67,     % 0.25-1.33 ve % 0.13-0.50 arasında değişiklik göstermiş olup; M. spicata ve M. officinalis’de % 50, diğer bitkilerde ise tam çiçeklenme devrelerinde en yüksek değer ölçülmüştür. Hasat devreleri uçucu yağ oranını; M. spicata, ve L. angustifolia’da istatiksel olarak anlamlı derecede (p<0.01) etkilerken, O. onites ve M. officinalis türlerindeki etkileri istatistiksel açıdan önemsiz bulunmuştur. Hasat saatlerinin uçucu yağ oranı üzerine etkisi ise tüm bitkilerde önemli ve/veya çok önemli olmuştur. Araştırma sonucuna göre, ontogenetik varyabilite bakımından M. spicata ve M. officinalis bitkilerinin % 50 çiçeklenme döneminde, L. angustifolia ve O. onites bitkilerinin ise % 100 çiçeklenme döneminde hasat edilmesinin; diurnal varyabilite bakımından ise hasatların, M. spicata’da öğle, O. onites ve M. officinalis’te sabah, L. angustifolia’da ise akşam saatlerinde yapılmasının uygun olduğu önerilmiştir.
TRATAMENTO DE PRESAS NO PRESÍDIO FEMININO DE TUBARÃO – SC: ATENDIMENTO ÀS REGRAS DE BANGKOK, À LEI DE EXECUÇÃO PENAL E AO RELATÓRIO 2015 DO MECANISMO NACIONAL DE PREVENÇÃO E COMBATE À TORTURA

A pesquisa avalia se o Presídio Feminino de Tubarão - SC atende aos parâmetros internacionais de tratamento de presas definidos nas Regras de Bangkok (ONU), aos padrões da Lei de Execução Penal (LEP) e aos pontos negativos do Relatório de 2015 do Mecanismo Nacional de Prevenção e Combate à Tortura (MNPCT), da Secretaria de Direitos Humanos da Presidência da República. Trata-se de estudo de caso, cuja pesquisa, de nível exploratório, teve abordagem pelo método quantitativo e método de procedimento comparativo. O estudo foi realizado no Presídio mencionado, com 50 presas (condenadas e provisórias) e 19 funcionários. Os resultados indicam que a maioria das regras é atendida pelo Presídio. Houve evolução no atendimento dessas regras desde o Relatório do MNPCT, especialmente nas questões referentes à estrutura física e ao tratamento das presas. Esse atendimento aos padrões não é completo, pois das Regras de Bangkok não são cumpridas aquelas que se referem à exposição à mídia, à consulta da presa sobre as visitas, ao direito de visita íntima e à estrutura de berçário para acompanhamento dos primeiros meses de vida de filhos; da LEP, as relativas ao acesso ao ensino e ao trabalho; e do Relatório do MNPCT, as referentes ao cheiro forte nas celas e a ausência de camas para todas as presas. Conclui-se que a percepção de presas e funcionários do Presídio Feminino de Tubarão apresenta poucos pontos de desrespeito às Regras de Bangkok e à LEP, bem como indica evolução quanto aos pontos negativos apontados no Relatório MNPCT/2015.
Vínculo entre profissionais de saúde e jovens vivendo com HIV/Aids: uma análise da produção e circulação de discursos da sexualidade = Bond between health professionals and adolescents living with HIV/AIDS: analysis of the production and circulation of sexuality discourses

Resumo: Introdução: Jovens estão no centro da crise de HIV/Aids. Em 2017, segundo o Unicef, 30 adolescentes de 15 a 19 anos foram infectados/as por hora no mundo. Mas nem sempre eles/elas têm suas demandas sobre sexualidade valorizadas nos serviços de saúde. Objetivo: este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o vínculo entre profissionais de saúde e jovens vivendo com HIV/Aids como meio para a produção e circulação de discursos da sexualidade. Metodologia: a partir de etnografia realizada em uma Clínica de Aids, do serviço público de saúde da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre 2013 e 2014, realizamos observação participante de atividades individuais e coletivas dos/as profissionais, entrevistas com profissionais e jovens e análise documental, que evidenciaram o vínculo numa perspectiva histórica e atual. Resultados: identificamos a produção e circulação de discursos da sexualidade em relatórios, Boletins, grupos de convivência e consultas médicas, dispositivos pelos quais se estabelecia o vínculo entre profissionais e jovens. Conclusão: o vínculo possibilitava acolhimento, escuta ativa, afeto, e a participação social de usuários/as, fortalecendo o serviço público de saúde frente às políticas de privatização. Também pelo vínculo, profissionais exerciam o controle da sexualidade juvenil, sendo um dispositivo de incitação ao “cuidado de si”.Palavras-chave: comunicação; saúde; Aids; sexualidade; adolescente.Abstract: Introduction: Young people are at the center of the HIV/AIDS crisis. In 2017, according to UNICEF, 30 teenagers from 15 to 19 years old were infected per hour in the world. But they do not always have their sexuality demands valued in health services. Objective: This article aims to understand the bond between health professionals and adolescents living with HIV/AIDS as a means for the production and circulation of discourses of sexuality. Methodology: Based on ethnography performed at an AIDS Clinic of the public health service of the city of Rio de Janeiro, between 2013 and 2014, we conducted participant observation of individual and collective activities of professionals, interviews with professionals and youth, and documental analysis, which evidenced the bond in a historical and current perspective. Results: We identified the production and circulation of discourses of sexuality in reports, bulletins, internal groups and medical consultations, devices by which the bond between professionals and teens was established. Conclusion: The bond enabled reception, active listening, affection, and social participation of users, strengthening the public health service in the face of privatization policies. Also by the bond, professionals exercised the control of young sexuality, being a device of incitement to “self-care”.Keywords: communication; health; AIDS; sexuality; adolescent.
