DIFFERENCE OF WOMEN’S AND MEN’S PERSONAL QUALITIES IMPORTANT FOR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS
Authors:   Master of Psychology, practicing psychologist, Kherson (Ukraine), Nazarenko Natalia
Published: June 2021

The article presented theoretically and empirically personal qualities important for a professional career. Basing on analysed scientific literature and the experimental study, we identified the most significant qualities of women and men important for professional growth. We found that women and men had personal factors influencing the active development of stable, conscious ideas about themselves and their place in the professional area. The peculiarities of existing professional gender-role stereotype and their formation were substantiated. The peculiarities of research approaches to the problem of working women and men were revealed. All components of personal characteristics, assessment of one’s own personality as a professional one were closely related to professional development. The specific personal characteristics in the professional careers of women and men were analyzed. We also determined that career choosing is influenced by personal, social and psychological factors. The analysed personal qualities influencing an individual’s professional development showed that every person has their own individual concept, motivation, motives, values, desires, by which they guided at career choosing. The aspects of the study on an individual’s professional development were considered and the internal determinants determining further personal development were identified. The article determines that personal, business qualities and skills should be highlighted; it helps to understand people’s weaknesses, strengths and fairly assess professional goals; such approach is the most comprehensive and productive. Because personal qualities influence career building, there is reason to believe that there are some differences in the professional area of women and men: women are more focused on communication and interactions, they able to establish contacts with others and regulate relationships, while men have leadership qualities, showing independence in judgments, tend to focus on their own views and preferences, more courageous and independent. The integrative role of personal factors for a specialist’s professionalization was empirically clarified. Professional work evokes a tendency to continuously develop boundless creative potential in various areas of life.

Code distribution of siRNA for cancer genes such as p53 and Bcl2 family genes has demonstrated efficacy in killing cancer cells. Nanoparticles can produce a surface where numerous drugs may be coupled, allowing combinatory treatment
Authors: Dowaidar Moataz
Published: June 2021

Silencing RNA (siRNA) is a promising next-generation approach to correcting genetic defects that predispose people to cancer. The move from the lab to the clinic as a standard cancer treatment still has a long way to go, with a number of limitations, including poor delivery, targeting and internalization efficiency, low stability, mutation susceptibility, quick renal clearance, and significant immunogenicity. In combination with existing chemotherapy therapies, SiRNA technology may also be employed, giving it a feasible choice for overcoming chemoresistance and enhancing apoptotic rates in a range of cancers. Codelivery of siRNA for genes involved in cancer progression, such as p53 and Bcl2 family genes, as well as genes involved in multidrug resistance, with current chemotherapeutic drugs such as doxorubicin and cisplatin, has shown incredible success in killing cancer cells. Nanoparticles can create a surface where several medications may be conjugated, allowing combination therapy. Nanoparticles can also aid by increasing the size of siRNA, which limits too rapid removal of glomerular filtration, blocking the 3 'end of siRNAs to protect against circulatory exonuclease damage, and boosting intestinal absorption. Several nanoparticles have been used, including liposomes, nanoemulsions, cationic polymers and dendrimers. However, the safety and biocompatibility of these particles remains a tough issue to resolve and should be considered in picking the proper nanoparticles. Overall, these applications provide chances to overcome cancer therapy challenges and assist to erase existing barriers to this global health concern in the near future.
Calixarenes (CAs) are promising in biomedicine, biosensing, bioimaging and gene delivery systems
Authors: Dowaidar Moataz
Published: June 2021

Calixarenes (CAs) are widely employed in biomedicine, e.g. biosensing and bioimaging, and contributed to in vivo and in vitro diagnostics. CAs were also employed to construct medication and gene delivery devices that helped create targeted treatments. CAs' ability to inhibit antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, detoxifying, and amyloid fibrillation also aids in the development of macrocyclic therapies.Because of their ease of modification, CAs' rich (supramolecular) chemistry and their extensive chemical design space benefit such a wide range of medicinal applications. CAs' supramolecular chemistry permits studying biological functions. CAs have unique recognition properties as its cavity can identify and quench many dyes' fluorescence and photoactivity, making them excellent for turn-on fluorescence sensing, imaging, and activatable PDT. CA skeleton may also be utilized as a podand-like ligand to develop novel recognition systems. CAs are also skilled at assembling things. While these early investigations highlighted the biological potential of CA homologues for biosensing, bioimaging, drug/gene delivery, and therapy, there are currently few examples of clinical CA application. CAs' bench-to-bedside translation in biological applications is highly demanded. One CA is undertaking a phase I clinical study, a good indicator. However, from both scientific research and clinical trials, CAs still confront significant practical hurdles in biological applications. To make biosensing applications practicable in clinical settings, sensing systems need to be further developed into sensors or even in-vitro diagnostic kits. In vivo diagnosis and therapy More CA safety investigations including long-term toxicity effects, metabolic pathways, and immune reactions are needed. Some advanced modalities can be employed and explored to improve diagnostic and therapeutic performance, such as multimodal imaging, multiple targeting, and combination therapy. Moreover, despite the huge number of CA derivatives described, their physicochemical features and biological roles remain unclear. Exploring the novel functionalities of existing CAs is crucial, taking the combined efforts of diverse specialists from the domains of supramolecular chemistry, chemical biology, life sciences, pharmacy, and medicine. We believe that ancient molecules can still be employed for various new tricks. This can summarize the underlying link between molecular structures and biological activities to assist drive the creation of novel CA derivatives. We anticipate that CA-based biomedicine will deliver considerable benefits in the near future with ongoing research and development.

Published: June 2021

Climate models are essential tools for investigating intrinsic North Atlantic variability related to variations in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), but recent observations have called into question the fidelity of models that emphasize the importance ofLabrador Sea processes. A multi-century pre-industrial climate simulation that resolves ocean mesoscale eddies has a realistic representation of key observed subpolar Atlantic phenomena,including the dominance of density-space overturning in the eastern subpolar gyre, and thus provides uniquely credible context for interpreting short observational records. Despite weak mean surface diapycnal transformation in the Labrador Sea, multidecadal AMOC variability can be traced to anomalous production of dense Labrador Sea Water with local buoyancy forcing in the interior Labrador Sea playing a significant driving role.
Individual Differences and Changes in Self-Reported Work Performance During the Early Stages of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Zacher Hannes , Rudolph Cort , Posch Melina
Published: June 2021

The goal of this longitudinal study was to examine how three dimensions of self-reported work performance, including task proficiency, adaptivity, and proactivity, changed between December 2019 and September 2020 in Germany. Based on event system and transition theories, we expected work performance to decline due to the “lockdown” between early April and early May 2020, and to subsequently increase when restrictions were eased between early May and early September 2020. Additionally, we hypothesized that high levels of core self-evaluations (i.e., employees’ fundamental evaluations about themselves) buffer the decline and strengthen the recovery in work performance. Data were collected from N = 591 full-time employees across eight measurement points. Results based on discontinuous latent growth curve modeling largely supported the expected trajectories in work performance. Moreover, core self-evaluations positively predicted the levels of work performance, as well as the slopes indicating recovery in task proficiency and adaptivity, but not proactivity.
The Sensorimotor Dynamics of Joint Attention
Authors: Schroer Sara E , Yu Chen
Published: June 2021

Social interactions are composed of coordinated, multimodal behaviors with each individual taking turns and sharing attention. By the second year of life, infants are able to engage in coordinated interactions with their caregivers. Although research has focused on the social behaviors that enable parent-infant dyads to engage in joint attention, little work has been done to understand the sensorimotor mechanisms underlying coordination. Using wireless head-mounted eye trackers and motion sensing, we recorded 31 dyads as they played freely in a home-like laboratory. We identified moments of visual joint attention, when parent and infant were looking at the same object, and then measured the dyad’s head and hand movements during and around joint attention. We found evidence that both parents and infants still their bodies during joint attention. We also compared instances of joint attention that were led by the parent or by the infant and identified different sensorimotor pathways that support the two types of joint attention. These results provide the foundation for continued exploration of the critical role of sensorimotor processes on coordinated social behavior and its development.
Frauen und Corona-Proteste
Authors: Frei Nadine , Nack Ulrike
Published: June 2021

Our article proposes a theoretical interpretation of women‘s broad participation in the coronavirus protests. For this purpose, we consider two central themes of their protest: vaccination and caring for their loved ones. From a sociological perspective, we show how their protest affirms the gendered division between the private and the public spheres that is constitutive of bourgeois capitalist society, and what role romantic thought plays in this. The women accept the social role assigned to them as caring women and creatures of nature. From a philosophical perspective, we illuminate how this affirmation is accompanied by a threat to society. That threat is based, as we point out with Hegel, on a contradiction of woman and society. Their protest reveals paradigmatically the dialectical movement of affirmation and endangerment of the bourgeois capitalist order.
A “Physically Active Experience” – Setting the Stage for a New Approach to Engage Children in Physical Activity.
Authors: Budzynski-Seymour Emily , Steele James , Jones Michelle
Published: June 2021

Despite the multiple health benefits that come from engaging in physical activity, data suggests that children are moving less. Novel approaches to engaging children in physical activity are needed to address this public health concern. Recently a new definition of physical activity was proposed which emphasises, amongst other things, the fact that physical activity is deeply affective, emotional and situated in spaces which shape the experience. With the need to increase engagement in physical activity, and this new proposed definition, this paper presents a more novel approach to addressing this problem through staging a physically active experience. The idea draws upon the well-established area of experience economy, which aims to engage those partaking in an educational, (e)aesthetic, escapist, and entertaining way. By staging physical activity as an experience, it is proposed that children can actively partake in physical activity in a way which is focused on the experience offered. This paper explains the notion of experience economy and provides examples of how it could be applied to children’s physical activity. Future research should examine the staging of physically active experiences for children and evaluate the practical implementation and effectiveness of this new approach to increasing children’s engagement in physical activity.

Authors: Thapa Santosh , Jha Ranjib Kumar , Rajthala Ashish
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Owing to the complex articular structure, paucity of metaphyseal bone and thin soft tissue covering, treatment of intra-articular distal humerus fractures still pose challenge to surgeons. Although it comprises 2% of all fractures the massive complication rate to the treatment is worrisome. This study aims to evaluate the outcome of surgical treatment of these fractures by open reduction and internal fixation by dual orthogonal plates.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to evaluate the functional outcome of intercondylar humerus fractures managed with open reduction and internal fixation with orthogonal dual plating technique.

Methodology: Eighteen patients (19 – 68 years old) with AO/OTA type 13C fractures were evaluated after surgery for one year with MEPS and range of motion. Complications were categorized as major or minor complications. Functional comparisons were made between simple articular type C1/C2 and complex articular type C3 fractures at one year.

Result: There were 2 (11.11%) type C1 fracture and 8 (44.44%) each in type C2 and C3 fractures. Eight (44.44%) patients obtained excellent, 7 (38.89%) obtained good and 3 (16.7%) obtained fair results. There was no poor outcome. Average MEPS score was 83.33 and there was no significant between the subgroups (p = 0.07). The average flexion was 118.06° and it was significantly impaired in type C3 fractures (p = 0.03). Three patients obtained full extension, and remaining patients had mean extension deficit of 12°. Average arch of motion was 108.06° with significant difference between two subgroups (p = 0.008). The mean arc of motion for supination-pronation was 154.44°. There was 5 minor and 2 major complications (total - 38.9%).

Conclusion: The surgical management with open reduction and internal fixation by dual plates in orthogonal configuration for the intercondylar distal humeral AO type C fractures has good or excellent functional outcome in majority of the patients.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Medical students encounter a constant pressure of academic and clinical activities, as well as easy access to drugs which could enable them to use different substances. Medical students who use substances can endanger others by losing sound judgment, failing to take responsibility, and causing harm to service recipients.

Objective: The study was aimed to find out the prevalence and pattern of substance use among undergraduate medical students of Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal.

Methodology: This hospital based cross sectional study was carried out from January 2021 to February 2021 at Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Morang Nepal. A total of 207 subjects were included in the study, which was selected using convenience sampling. All participants were given a self-prepared semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire in order to gather information about their sociodemographic profile and pattern of substance use.

Result: The overall prevalence of substance use among students of BMCTH was 59 (28.50%) (n=207). Males were significantly associated with substance use than females (P < 0.001). Prevalence of substance use were maximum among final year students 26(76.47%). The most common used substance was alcohol 49 (83.05%) followed by tobacco smoking 24 (40.67%) and cannabis 11 (18.64%).Curiosity of experience 39 (35.77%) and seeking pleasure 19 (17.43%) were the main reason of substance use among students.

Conclusion: In this study students were found to be involved in some form of substance use, with many of them initiating after enrolling in medical school. Majority of students used for the sake of fun which they use as a source of entertainment to deviate their minds from the pressure of studies.
Determinants of Workers’ Remittances in Nepal: An Empirical Study
Authors: Bhatt Naw Raj , Kharel Melina
Published: June 2021

Background: Remittance has a crucial role in external sector stability, poverty eradication, and social as well as the human development of developing countries like Nepal. The determinants of remittance are widely discussed in the existing works of literature from altruism and portfolio approaches. Since the share of remittance in the current account, current transfer income, and forex reserve is significantly high, the study of major determinants of increasing remittance inflow is necessary. In this regard, this paper examines the relationship between remittance inflow, exchange rate, and workers outflow in Nepal.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of the exchange rate and workers outflow on the remittance inflow of Nepal.

Methods: This study employs the ARDL approach to co-integration to examine the relationship between remittance inflow as an endogenous variable and exchange rate and workers outflow as exogenous variables.

Results: The coefficients of the exchange rate and workers outflow are significant and positive in long run as well as in the short-run whereas coefficients of the first lag value of workers outflow and remittance inflow itself are significant but negative.

Conclusion: The significant and positive coefficient of exchange rate indicates that depreciation of Nepalese currency with US dollar (or rise in the exchange rate) rises the remittance inflow. Further, the remittance inflow also increases with an increase in workers outflow. The effect of the exchange rate on remittance is greater than that of workers outflow in both the long-run and short-run.

Authors:   Thuyloi University, Ngo Tri Thuong , Hoang Van Hai ,   Thuyloi University
Published: June 2021

In this study, the flexural resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRCs) containing different fiber volume content, under static and dynamic flexural loading was investigated. Thirty-six specimens of UHPFRCs, size 0.5x0.5x210 (mm), reinforced with 0.5%, and 1.5% volume of smooth steel fiber (d=0.2 mm, l=19 mm) were cast and tested by three-point bending test, under the static load (strain rate 1.67x10-5 s-1) and high acceleration load (strain rate up to 210 s-1). Experimental results show that the flexural strength of UHPFRCs increases significantly when the fiber reinforcement content increases. In addition, as the loading speed increases, the flexural resistance of the material also increases. The flexural strength of UHPFRC material reinforced with 0.5 and 1.5% of fiber volume content was 17.7 and 30.0 MPa at static loads, increased to 23.6 and 51.92 MPa at a loading rates of 110 s-1 and 28.86 and 61.04 MPa at loading rate of 210 s-1.

Published: June 2021

The management of coastal land in Vietnam in recent years still has many shortcomings and limitations, such as the planning and management of construction investment according to planning has not meet development needs; there is a lack of public space for the community due to overwhelming approved coastal projects; soil environmental pollution is increasingly serious due to the lack of an effective mechanism for using and conserving the soil environment. Currently, Vietnam is applying many sets of indicators related to environmental performance assessment at national and sector levels, including several indicators related to soil environmental assessment. However, there is still no specific set of indicators on environmental performance assessment from sustainable coastal land use. Therefore, to improve the efficiency of coastal land use and well implement environmental objectives, it is necessary to develop a set of indicators on environmental efficiency assessment of coastal land use in the direction of sustainable development.

Authors: Root Kustritz Margaret V. , Bakke Hannah J. , Rendahl Aaron
Published: June 2021

Chronotype describes what time of day people are most productive, with the specific terminology of larks (productive early in the day) and night owls (productive late in the day). Society, including education, schedules work at times that generally favor larks. The goals of this study were to (a) define our student population regarding mind-set and chronotype, (b) examine the relationship between chronotype and mind-set score, and (c) examine the relationship between lark score and examination score with examinations offered at varying times of day. The null hypotheses were that there would be no relationships between these variables. If the hypotheses were not proven, this information would be used to educate students about personal management to optimize academic success and to help the college determine if scheduling or other variations in examination implementation could be altered to permit students to demonstrate best their knowledge and skills. There were 184 participants from the classes of 2020–2022. Overall, there were few definite night owls or larks, with 55% of participants categorized as neither. Overall, 78% of students had either a strong growth mind-set or a growth mind-set with some fixed ideas. No meaningful association between chronotype and mind-set score was observed. There was neither a significant main effect for chronotype nor a significant interaction with start time for examinations. Scheduling of examinations in the early morning did not negatively impact student performance based on chronotype in this study.

A Community Based Collaborative Research Model to Fight Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). A Report on Nairobi, Kenya COVD-19 Efforts
Authors: Chama Samson
Published: June 2021

Today nearly almost every part of the world has been impacted by the corona virus COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has been unrelenting in its impact as thousands and thousands of people have died from its infections and resulting complications. Some countries have experienced severe effects of the virus than others. However, in both situations the virus has been vicious and many of those who have recovered and survived its infections have testified of how deadly this virus is. In the wake of this pandemic nations around the world have taken measures to curb its impact and spread in communities and societies. Preventative measures taken have disrupted in most cases schools and the workforce with many people being forced to work remotely from their homes and with schools going virtual. However, progress in fighting this virus is in the offing as promising vaccines are on the horizon. This paper discusses a preliminary intervention research project whose goal is to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in Nairobi, Kenya. Results of this study may have promise of being replicated in other parts of Africa affected by this pandemic.
Realization of a device for the evaluation of the muscular effort through the Electromyogram signal EMG
Authors: Debbal S.M
Published: June 2021

In this work, a device for the evaluation of the muscular effort through the electromyogram signal is produced. This device consists essentially of three parts: the sensor part, the shaping portion, the acquisition part and the software part. The sensor part allows the EMG signal to be collected by means of surface electrode. The shaping port is realized based on an instrumentation amplifier. The acquisition part concerns the analogue digital conversion and the transfer of the digital data to the pc; this is done via an arduino card, which is equipped with a microcontroller for the visualization in real time and the storage of the EMG signal on the pc on which the processing logitiels will be implemented. The signal thus processed must be displayed with the data allowing the evaluation of the effort on the monitor of the pc through a graphical interface; these are the different steps that are carried out to finalize this work.

Authors: Naschitz Jochanan
Published: June 2021

Background: Predicting success of inpatient rehabilitation after hip fracture is an unmet challenge Objective: To assess whether a first impression Functional Independence Measure (FIM) before comprehensive evaluation may be useful to predict success in rehabilitation Setting: Geriatric rehabilitation center. Design: Retrospective observational study Subjects: 42 consecutive elderly patients with proximal hip fracture. Methods: The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was assessed on the day of admission by a nurse (PreFIM), on day 3-5 by a multidisciplinary team (FimAdm) and on the day before discharge by the same multidisciplinary team (FIMDis). The potential of motor PreFIM to predict rehabilitation success, corresponding to motor FIMDis >58, was assessed, along with the length of stay in rehabilitation (LOS). Results: The mean motor PreFIM was 43.3 (SD 11.4), motor FIMAdm 48.9 (SD 13.7), motor FIMDis 63.8 (SD 16.7), LOS 22.5 days (SD 9.7). Motor PreFIM predicted motor FIM discharge >58, the surrogate measure for success of rehabilitation, with 76.7% sensitivity and 83.3% specificity. Motor PreFIM relation to LOS was statistically insignificant. Conclusions: In a population of disabled elderlies, the motor PreFIM on admission-day was helpful to predict success in rehabilitation after hip fracture, but not the necessary duration of rehabilitation.

Published: June 2021

Introduction : La commission « Les 1 000 premiers jours » a accordé une place importante à l’accompagnement personnalisé des parents pendant la période périnatale et les premières années de l’enfant. Nous présentons un nouveau modèle d’accompagnement développé au cours des dernières décennies et destiné à des familles à haut risque médicopsychosocial, l’accompagnement personnalisé en réseau coordonné (APRC).

Objectifs et méthodologie : Notre étude longitudinale et prospective visait à évaluer l’efficacité de l’APRC afin de limiter les effets des troubles anxiodépressifs et bipolaires maternels sur l’enfant. Nous avons comparé deux groupes de bébés selon l’accompagnement dont leurs mères ont bénéficié : APRC (groupe APRC : n = 40) ou usuel (groupe témoin : n = 30).

Résultats : L’APRC s’est montré plus efficace que l’accompagnement usuel afin de réduire les effets défavorables pour le développement de l’enfant, tels que les difficultés de sommeil et d’alimentation et le retard psychomoteur.

Conclusion : Nos résultats vont dans le sens des recommandations de la commission et peuvent servir de levier de changement afin de promouvoir les pratiques interdisciplinaires et appliquer davantage les outils et le paradigme de l’APRC.

Published: June 2021

The article considers the peculiarities of professional training of employees of the federal police of the Federal Republic of Germany. The requirements for a candidate for police service have been clarified, as well as the basic standards that must be met by police officers in physical and fire training. Keeping fit is the responsibility of every federal police officer. Therefore, all federal police officers are required to participate in sports. Federal police departments organize regular training courses with specific dates and locations. In addition, police officers are encouraged to train outside of office hours to keep fit. And this is justified, because the federal police have to be tested annually in the sprint and endurance zone. The minimum requirements are based on the achievements of the German sports badge of the "Silver" category. The German Sports Badge (DSA) is an award from the German Olympic Sports Confederation. This is the highest award outside of competitive sports and is given as a sign of achievement for average and versatile physical performance. The standards to be met are based on basic motor skills, endurance, strength, speed and coordination. Swimming is always a must. In some federal states, the presence of such a mark in the applicant is a condition of recruitment to the police. The peculiarities of professional training of special police forces are analyzed, including special operations teams, mobile target groups, negotiating groups, technical target groups and the Special Unit of the Federal Border Guard Service. Of particular note is the last of them, designed to combat terrorism and hostage-taking. Functional interchangeability promotes high combat effectiveness and coordination of actions of fighters. Therefore, each of them must have as many specialties as possible: sniper, demolition worker, search dog guide, liaison officer, paramedic, driver. Fighters also study foreign languages, as they often have to negotiate with terrorists in their native language.
