Authors: Shreya  , Kumar H Mohan , Chidambara Lavanya
Published: March 2023

To determine the role of mantoux test in treatment of ocular TB.

Three patients who presented to the OPD with features of anterior Uveitis were examined completely, both systemically and ophthalmologically. BCVA, Color vision, Slit lamp examination, dilated fundus examination was done. Systemic investigations in pertaining to Uveitis was done(CBC, Mantoux, CXR, Serology, ESR).

All patients systemically had all investigations negative (including Chest X-ray) except and strong Mantoux reaction with signs of active anterior Uveitis and Vitritis. In collaboration with the department of chest medicine, Anti tubercular treatment was commenced. Patients have recovered from the Uveitis and have improved symptomatically and clinically.

Uveitis can be a presenting feature of extra pulmonary TB. Easily available and affordable Mantoux test can help in detecting TB and commencing treatment which can be sight saving. A close follow up for these patients is needed, as they have been started on ATT after testing mantoux strongly positive and should be closely monitored for any ocular toxicity due to ATT.

Authors: Soediro Achmad , Kusumawardani Media , Farhan Muhammad
Published: March 2023

This study aimed to explore legitimacy strategies in Islamic financial institutions andunderstand the process and reason for their shifting over time. A reflective approach was used towards literature data sources and a thematic analysis of interview results. Islamic Banking and financial institutions were seeking a legitimacy strategy by adopting sharia compliance to distinguish them from conventional banks. This study examined the development of Indonesia's Islamic banking and assessed responses from participants with an Islamic banking background. The results showed that the legitimacy strategy of Islamic banking changes over time. Initially, it used labeling, but the stakeholders' pressures and demands have led Islamic banking to change its strategy. It has moved through integrating financial and non-financial performance to a sharia compliance strategy. This study contributes to understanding Islamic banking's legitimacy strategy that has developed over time. Additionally, it helps develop a better legitimacy strategy in line with the future philosophical and ideological basis of Islamicbanking.

POLÍTICAS DE SOCIOEDUCAÇÃO E PRIVAÇÃO DE LIBERDADE DE ADOLESCENTES NO BRASIL
Authors: Viégas Lygia de Sousa
Published: March 2023

Inserido no debate da socioeducação, o presente artigo apresenta um apanhado histórico das políticas de restrição e privação de liberdade de adolescentes e jovens no Brasil, por meio da revisão da legislação e da literatura científica. Adotando uma perspectiva crítica, o artigo inicia com os antecedentes históricos do Código de Menores, a partir da Proclamação da República. Em seguida, aborda o Código de Menores de 1927, e sua reformulação em 1979, destaacando o Serviço de Assistência ao Menor (SAM), a Fundação Nacional do Bem-Estar do Menor (FUNABEM) e a Fundação para o Bem-Estar do Menor (FEBEM). Na sequência, partilha o processo de ruptura com concepções menoristas, resultando no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente, em 1990, e, 22 anos depois, no Sistema Nacional de Atendimento Socioeducativo (2012). Desta maneira, o artigo aponta alguns desafios impostos à mudança de mentalidade nesse campo, do punitivismo à socioeducação, sobretudo dado o olhar racista, classista e medicalizante impregnado contra esse público.

A CIÊNCIA NA OBRA O VERDADEIRO MÉTODO DE ESTUDAR DE LUÍS ANTÓNIO VERNEY
Authors: Conceição Verônica Alves , Porto Cristiane Magalhães , Alves André Luiz
Published: March 2023

O avanço no conhecimento científico transformou a própria epistemologia da ciência. A concepção positivista, segundo a qual a ciência é um conjunto de conhecimentos objetivos, universais e eternos, governado por leis imutáveis e extraído da realidade por meio de uma metodologia rigorosa tem enfrentado algumas críticas advindas, inclusive, das comunidades científicas que implicam em diferentes reconfigurações. Este estudo aborda a ciência a partir do pensamento de Luís António Verney (1713-1792) em sua obra O Verdadeiro Método de Estudar (1746).Objetiva analisar como a ciência é apresentada na obra elaborada por Verney como suporte para a reformulação do sistema de ensino português, no século XVIII, ao tempo em que dialoga com as concepções emergentes de ciência na Europa Oitocentista e com a tradição religiosa, católica, que marca a formação do autor. O texto se constitui como uma revisão bibliográfica de base teórica. Como resultado, constata-se que os aspectos internos da obra refletem os contextos socioeconômico e cultural da Europa alinhados à formação religiosa de Verney. Conclui-se que o desenho de educação pensada para Portugal nasce da coexistência entre filosofia, ciência e religião.

Authors: Santos Raynice Souza dos , Schmitz Heribert
Published: March 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os desafios do engajamento sindical no município de Concórdia do Pará, partindo do caso específico do Sindicato dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras Rurais (STTR). O engajamento sindical é fundamental para garantir a legitimidade dessas organizações, que têm enfrentado uma série de questões novas para se mostrarem atraentes ao seu público-alvo. Com isso em vista, a pesquisa teve por base uma abordagem qualitativa feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de levantamento bibliográfico. Os resultados apontaram que os agricultores filiados ao STTR de Concórdia, em sua maioria, aprovam a atual diretoria do sindicato. Constatou-se, porém, que nem todos se encontram em dia com a contribuição sindical, em razão da retirada de funções assistenciais por parte do governo, o que indica a necessidade de os sindicatos se reinventarem nesse novo cenário.

Sexual variation in the inter-triradial distance of the palm among Bengali Hindu population of Kolkata, India
Authors: Banerjee Ritwik , Das Manashi
Published: March 2023

Palm prints are one of the most important forensic tools for human identification in medico-legal investigation. Palm prints are often used for forensic sex estimation to narrow down the pool of suspects through a process of elimination. The aim of this study was to test whether a novel approach of sex estimation from palmar inter-triradial distances previously posited by Badiye and colleagues [Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2019; 65(March):22–26] can be used as a primary tool for forensic sexing. For this study the bilateral palm prints from 200 Bengali Hindu adults (100 male, 100 female) were collected using traditional ink printing method and were analysed. Descriptive statistics were presented in tables and linear discriminant analysis was conducted to estimate the extent of sexual dimorphism in the inter-triradial distances and to find out variables with the strongest sex discriminating potential. Binary logistic regression analysis (BLR) was performed to derive sex estimation equations. Sexual dimorphism has been found to be statistically significant (p< 0.001) using linear discriminant analysis with a sexing accuracy of 79.0 percent for the left and 79.5 percent for the right palm. Distance between a and t triradius has been found to be the most influential on this model followed by the combined abcd-t distance. For the BLR analysis, the correct classification percentage was found to be the highest on the a-t distance of the right palm with a success rate of 80.5 percent which is closely followed by the combined abcd-t distance which has a classification success rate of 80.0 percent for the right palm. The present study has concluded that, inter-triradial distance of the palm is fairly dimorphic sexually but can only be used as a supplementary tool in inference of sex for medico-legal investigation. Due to a higher accuracy, the distance between a and t triradius has been proposed to be used instead of combined abcd-t distance which was suggested in the original study conducted by Badiye and colleagues (2019).

La ley de Okun en el Perú: 1970-2000
Authors: Garavito Cecilia
Published: March 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la relación entre el empleo, el desempleo y el producto,para lo cual estimamos el coeficiente de Okun. Un paso previo es el cálculo de la elasticidadempleo-producto. Ambos parámetros son importantes para el diseño de políticasmacroeconómicas y la evaluación de sus efectos sobre el empleo y el bienestar. A partir de unanálisis de cointegración encontramos que existe una relación positiva de largo plazo entre latasa de empleo y el PIB de Lima Metropolitana a lo largo del periodo estudiado, donde por cada1000 nuevos soles de 1979 de elevación del producto, la tasa de empleo se elevará en 0.0288puntos porcentuales. Estimamos también un coeficiente de Okun de 0.0845, nivel bastante bajo,y solamente comparable a los coeficientes de Japón, Bolivia y Argentina. En el caso del Perú labaja sensibilidad de la tasa de desempleo a los cambios en el producto se debe alcomportamiento procíclico de la fuerza laboral, y al hecho de que al perder su empleo lostrabajadores se retiran del mercado. Asimismo, encontramos que la tasa de crecimiento delproducto debe ser de al menos 3.31% para que el desempleo no se eleve, debiendo ser dealrededor de un 11% para reducir la tasa de desempleo en un punto porcentual. Finalmente,estimaciones de coeficientes recursivos de Okun a partir de los componentes cíclicos de lasseries nos dan un rango de entre 0.02 y 0.12 para el periodo en estudio.
Los terremotos, el crecimiento económico y el desarrollo
Authors: Vega-Centeno Máximo
Published: March 2023

Este trabajo apunta a establecer un marco conceptual de decisión para las medidas de prevención respecto de los terremotos. El punto de partida está en diferenciar entre los fenómenos naturales y los desastres; si bien ambos tienen en común la frecuencia, estos últimos son más impredecibles, pero, en ambos casos, la cuestión es una estimación probabilística. Si bien sabemos que los terremotos aparecen súbitamente y son inevitables e impredecibles, el hecho de que ocurra en lugares como Perú provoca que la situación se vuelva compleja. Es así que se pueden tomar mejores decisiones acerca de las medidas de prevención para reducir, de tal manera, el impacto económico, principalmente en la población de bajos ingresos, de forma que puedan mejorar su calidad de vida en términos sociales y humanos. Bajo estas condiciones, la ausencia de una adecuada política sobre la materia provoca un sentimiento de inseguridad para esta gente y se convierte, al mismo tiempo, en freno para el desarrollo humano.

Russian High School Teachers in the Face of Ongoing Technological Change: Heading Towards a new Luddism?
Authors: Popov Dmitry , Strelnikova Anna , Grigoreva Ekaterina
Published: March 2023

In many countries, including Russia, the COVID-19 epidemic became a catalyst for the technological, “digital” renewal of the school educational process. This renewal occurred rapidly and, in some respects, chaotically, therefore it was described in literature using a special term — “emergency teaching”. Teachers resisting change is sometimes seen as the main reason for the stability and conservatism of schools, as well as for the failed attempts to introduce innovations. Drawing a parallel between modern teachers and Luddites, it is important to assess not only resistance to technological change, but also the social consequences of these changes for the school and for teachers. This article is based on the materials of a long-term observation of Russian school teachers, implemented using qualitative research logic during the time of the most active spread of COVID in 2020–2022. The study revealed the difficulties that teachers face in integrating digital practices into the emergency educational process, as well as their fears related to prospects of a crisis in the profession of teaching. One component of this looming crisis is the expansion of external formal control, as well as the teachers themselves losing control, with the prospect (and fear) of losing autonomy and the teaching profession losing its creative element.

Standard (typical) wheelset is a direct connection of an axle and two wheels. Wheels have tread surface that provides rounding a curve and centering (winding movement) on tangent track. The authors propose a new design of a wheelset, in which functions of holding and directing the wheelset (flange) are separated from wheel (support wheel) tread surface. Such a wheelset has a row of advantages in comparison with a typical design. The paper proposes a method for a comparative assessment of life of twin cylindrical axle-box bearings in block and standard designs of wheelsets of freight cars. It is established that life of axe-box bearings in a block wheelset is 1.7-2.3 times bigger than in a standard one.

Authors:   JSC “Research and Design Institute of Informatization, Automation and Communication in Railway Transport”, Zubkov V. V.
Published: March 2023

In this paper, methodological approaches to formation of transport and information space in the development of clusters of integrated transport services based on a multi-agent construction method are considered. The scheme of inter-cluster subject mutual integration based on implementation of unified technological (transport and production) processes is presented. The model of the system of subject mutual integration in the single transport and information space of the cluster of integrated transport services has been developed. Methodology for constructing a matrix of indicators in the system of determining and recognizing optimal solutions based on the ratio of three-dimensional cubes has been formed. The information architecture of the environment of subject mutual integration is proposed, based on the multi-agent method of construction and displaying specific properties, culture of information behavior, memory and goals, uniqueness of definition and recognition of management decisions. A three-level model of the algorithm of subject mutual integration has been developed, which establishes the procedure of actions aimed at achieving continuous integration and updating of a single knowledge database, along with this, the knowledge gained is used as an information resource opportunity in the development of production entities and regions. Methodological approaches to the construction of the transport and information space provide the basis for virtual subjective mutual integration, transformation of automated control systems into information and intelligent systems.

Published: March 2023

In this article, a new algorithm of shaping and routing has been developed for computeraided design of control programs of sheet cutting equipment with Numerical control when shaping sheet material with round parts. The algorithm is based on the technique of cutting round parts using continuous shearing of several contours and combining parts into groups. Unlike the standard contour shearing technique, which is mainly used in modern CAD preparation of control programs, the proposed technique minimizes the values of the main cutting parameters, and, consequently, the cost of the cutting process. The description of the algorithm is given, two stages are highlighted. At the first stage, the material is automatically shaped with round parts (at the output, a shaping map in dxf format), at the second stage, a route with a minimum Number of insertion points and idle tool movements is automatically calculated (at the output, a file with a G-code). Software implementation of the algorithm has been performed. The results of test calculations of the cost of cutting are presented, confirming the correctness of the proposed solutions.

Published: March 2023

The strategy of JSC Russian Railways until 2030 sets the task of realizing the commercial potential of railway terminals and stations, through which on average more than 2.6 million passengers pass daily. The projected growth of passenger traffic determines the development of infrastructure of stations, the defining part of which is high-quality information support. Modernization of railway stations implies, among other things, creation of the timely, accessible and complete information space for customers, it also requires the regulation of increasing passenger flows based on high-quality information. This article discusses the improvement of information processes using digital technologies. The proposed modernization is not refinement of automation elements of existing business processes of the passenger station on another technical platform, but the development and implementation of new technologies for passenger and customer information services based on a modern intelligent management system for information and reference processes. Business processes based on digital technologies are built taking into account the specifics of the information space of a particular station. Improving the information support of business processes will improve the quality of services provided to passengers and customers, the technological reliability of processes, as well as the economic efficiency of the station.

Authors: Manaenkova Marina P.
Published: March 2023

We consider the emotional burnout issue among counselors in children’s health camps. A description of the structural and content features of the burnout syndrome is based on an analysis of the work of foreign and Russian researchers. The specificity of the syndrome of emotional burnout is revealed among specialists working in the system of professions such as “person–person” in general and among leaders in children’s health camps in particular. The attention is focused on the personal, content and social characteristics of counselors’ professional activities as powerful stress factors. Particular attention is paid to the forms and methods of prevention of burnout syndrome among counselors. Optimal conditions for organizing a mentally safe developing environment in children's health camps are necessary. The results of the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment based on V.V. Boyko’s methodology show that most counselors are in the second phase of emotional burnout called “Resistance”. As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the necessity and effectiveness of psychological and pedagogical prevention of emotional burnout of counselors in children’s health camps is proved.

Women, Homeland and Memories: Feminist Yan Geling’s Writings
Authors: Li Katherina
Published: March 2023

Yan Geling, a feminist of Chinese origin, is a gifted and successful storyteller and creator of characters. However, despite a widespread contribution, Yan Geling’s writings are not popular in the West and remain in a marginalised position. A qualitative case study of Yan Geling’s writings will fill in the literature gap to understand those marginalised Chinese women’s voices. This study examines the work of Yan Geling by applying various observations and data sources. It concentrates on her depiction of her homeland: her fiction takes place in realistic settings during the turbulent years of the 20th Century. Nevertheless, Yan Geling’s works,  particularly her writings on women’s situations using a feminist lens, have rapidly increased in recent years. This perspective is an attempt to reflect on Yan Geling’s novel, the analysis of which are more likely to contribute to future Chinese feminist studies.
