Parent Ratings of Preschoolers’ Numeracy Skills are Predictive of Direct Assessments
Authors: Lin Joyce , Napoli Amy , Schmitt Sara , Purpura David J.
Published: March 2020

The current study examines whether parent ratings of children’s numeracy skills are skill- and domain-specific to inform how to best utilize parent ratings in research. Children in the sample (N=129) ranged from 3.07 to 5.95 years old and 52.3% were male. Most (81%) of the children were White. Parents were asked to rate their children’s counting, simple arithmetic, and numeral identification skills. Children were directly assessed on these skills, as well as their broad numeracy abilities, and other cognitive skills (e.g., expressive vocabulary, executive function). Parent ratings of their children’s numeracy skills varied in terms of how skill-specific they were. However, aggregated parent ratings predicted directly assessed broad numeracy abilities, more so than other cognitive skills, providing evidence for discriminant validity. Findings inform how parent ratings may be used in research, especially in cases where children cannot be directly assessed, such as when large-scale parent surveys are used.
Measuring Stability and Change in Personal Culture Using Panel Data
Authors: Kiley Kevin , Vaisey Stephen
Published: March 2020

Models of population-wide cultural change tend to invoke one of two broad models of individual change. One approach theorizes that people actively update their beliefs and behaviors in the face of new information. The other argues that, following early socialization experiences, dispositions are stable. We formalize these two models, elaborate empirical implications of each, and derive a simple combined model for comparing them using panel data. We test this model on 183 attitude and behavior items from the 2006-14 rotating panels of the General Social Survey. Though the pattern of results is complex, it is somewhat more consistent with the settled dispositions model than the active updating model. Most observed change in the GSS appears to be short-term attitude change or measurement error rather than persisting changes. When persistent change occurs, it is somewhat more likely to occur in younger people than older people and more common for public behaviors and beliefs about high-profile issues than private attitudes. We argue that we need both models in our theory of cultural evolution but that we need more research on the circumstances under which each is more likely to apply.
Structure and functioning of phytoplankton in the Neva estuary in 2011–2016
Authors: Nikulina V.N. , Golubkov M.S.
Published: March 2020

Long-term observations (since 1982), which had been carried out in the Neva River estuary, have shown that in 2011–2016 the general nature of distribution, species composition and abundance of phytoplankton differed from those that were recorded earlier. The greatest changes are noted in the central part close by northern coast of the Neva Bay. With observed eutrophication in the Neva Bay (st. 12) and in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland (st. 19), different groups of algae dominated in the summer phytoplankton (late July – early August). The main mechanism regulating the species composition of phytoplankton were hydrological conditions observed in different parts of the estuary. Also Shallow water, wind activity, oxygen deficiency and temperature stratification, nutrient supply were favorable conditions for development of chlorococcal green, cryptophyte, euglenic and other algae groups. With a high Shannon index (3.8–4.0) in the Neva Bay, the largest share to the total biomass was given by chlorococcal algae. In the resort area of the Gulf of Finland at the end of July – early August, direct temperature stratification was usually established, with enough nutrients creating conditions for the development of stagnophilic planktonic algae with a predominance of cyanobacteria in the epilimion. Here, more often, were periods of surface “blooms”. For the most eutrophied areas of the Neva Bay and the inner estuary the average structural, functional, and relative indicators of plankton were compared with average values for the entire water area. The main characteristics of phytoplankton: biomass, primary production, chlorophyll concentration and total phosphorus content in the northern zone of the Neva Bay, were 2–3 times higher than the average values on the Gulf. The species composition of algae corresponded to a sufficiently high trophic state. In the resort area of inner estuary of the Gulf of Finland (st. 19), the observed mean values also slightly exceeded the average values for the estuary, but the relative indicators differed little from those calculated for the rest of the water area. The structural and functional characteristics of phytoplankton indicated that during eutrophication in different parts of the estuary, in Summer, conditions wer favorable to promote the development of different groups plankton algae.

Published: March 2020

The priority direction in modern conditions of musical and pedagogical activity is the training of highly qualified specialists. The main factor of successful methodological work in the field of wind instrument performance is the study of scientific achievements in physiology, pedagogy, and psychology. Currently, in the pedagogical practice of wind art, there are a number of issues that require a conceptual understanding of the physiological components of the voice and articulation apparatus, as well as the dependence of sound quality on these organs. The subject of the analysis is the correct functioning of the larynx as a resonator. The analysis of scientific and theoretical developments in the field of sound formation on wind instruments allowed us to explain a number of pedagogical approaches in the practice of musical and performing arts
THE PROBLEM OF THE NATURE AND DIRECTION OF THE CULTURAL-HISTORICAL MOVEMENT
Authors: Alisherova Cholpon Bazarbekovna
Published: March 2020

This article highlights the solution to the problem of the nature and direction of the cultural and historical movement. Different options, concepts are considered. The cultural concepts of Schiller, Herder and others are fected. View on the logic of the development of the cultural and historical process of representation of Soviet culture are revealed in detail. The types of evolutionary concepts of culture, such as single-line volition, are a consideration of the history of culture as the sequential development of various systems (religion, morals, economy e.t.c.) with the identification of general stages in it (E.Taylor, J.Fraser, L. Levy-Bruhl). The second type of evolutionary understanding of the logic of cultural-historical dynamics is the theory of universal evolution. Its essence is to recognize the identity of the development of various ethnic cultures, the denzal of the general stages and the general scheme of movement, but the purpose and meaning, of it is understood by its supporters differently Supporters of this theory are N.Ya Danilevsky, A.Toynbee, V.Solovyov, K. Jaspers, B. Malinvsky and others. Their concepts include the idea of the cultural evolution of mankind, going in different ways to some unity, the idea of polyphonic world culture and recognition the equivalence of all its components.
The third type of evolutionary doctrine of culture is theories of multilinear evolution. The views of the representatives of this theory (R.Benedict, M. Herskovitz etc.) affirm the polymerization of the sociocultural space, the intrinsic value of different types and models of culture.
Thus, the article gives the basic concepts that offer original solutions to one of the important problems in the philosophy of culture the problems of the logic of the cultural-historical movement. Now, in a period of rapid social rhythm of the development of production and non-production activities, the forecasting of changes in space
is becoming especially important/ Taking into account the numerous technical and social consequences of the scientific and technological revolution put forward requirements related to spatial forecasting

Authors: Aliev I.I. , Ismailova S. Sh. , Ahmedova Dzh.A. , Mehtieva S.T.
Published: March 2020

Studies of the interaction of As2Se3 with CuCr2Te4 chalcogenides are of interest both for the development of the general theoretical foundations of this type of process and for the creation of magnetic and magneto-optical materials. To clarify the nature of the physicochemical properties, the As2Se3-CuCr2Te4 system was investigated. The results of a physicochemical study of the As2Se3-CuCr2Te4 system found that the state diagram of the system is quasi-binary eutectic type. In the system near the initial components, a narrow homogeneous region was revealed. At room temperature, solid solutions based on As2Se3 extend to 2 mol %, and on a CuCr2Te4 basis, solid solutions reach 6 mol. % .The joint crystallization of As2Se3 and CuCr2Te4 ends at the double eutectic point. Upon slow cooling in the As2Se3-CuCr2Te4 system based on As2Se3, the glass formation region reaches 10 mol. % CuCr2Te4.
Hypertext technologies as the basis of native advertising
Authors: Mironova Nataliya
Published: March 2020

The article deals with native advertising (hidden advertising) disguised as regular site content. To analyze the advertising discourse on the treatment of a disease, we used a cognitive schema (frame) containing a specific set of slots. It was found that a hypertext nature of advertising leads to rupture of the schema and delayed submission of the main frame slot (means/ways to treat the disease), transferring it from the start of the message to its target portion. It was also shown how a frame nature of advertising predetermined semantics of positive evaluation of the words – slot fillers. Native advertising is represented as a means of manipulating individual consciousness and as a way of exercising individual mental (and verbal) aggression.
Verbalization of Nomadic Culture in Yakut Fairytales
Authors: Tomskaya Maria
Published: March 2020

The paper presents a linguocultural study of some aspects of nomadic culture, which are reflected in the texts of the fairytales of the Yakuts. The analysis of Yakut fairytales reveals that their storylines are often centered around the concept of the road – the core element of nomadic culture. The road is viewed as transition, both physical and metaphorical, from the ordinary world to the world of magic. This is the place where the key events of fairytales usually happen. Furthermore, the rites and customs of nomadic people, including the initiation rite, the wedding rite, the traditional holiday of the Yakut horse herders (ysyakh), the horse worship, etc., are represented in the texts of Yakut fairytales. They correspond to the world view of the nomadic Turkic peoples, based on the worship of nature. Nomadic cattle breeding has determined the lifestyle of the Yakuts for many centuries. It resulted in the formation of the principles of life based on archaic mythological concepts – hero, horse, alaas, serge, ysyakh, etc.
Social and economic effects of labor migrations of the Poles in the German empire in the late XIX – early XX century
Authors: Zhitin Ruslan , Topiliskiy Alexey
Published: March 2020

The article focuses on the problem of labor migrations of the peasant population of Vistula Land of Russia to the German Empire at the turn of the XIX and ХХ century. The subject of the study are the causes of migration, the situation of Polish workers abroad, the specifics and main spheres of hiring workers, the social and economic effects of the movement. The urgency of the work is determined by inadequate historiographic attention to the factor of the annual retreat of tens of thousands of Poles abroad. The article uses the civilizational approach, the principle of historicism, the ideas of the French school “Annals”. The conclusions obtained by the authors of the article testify to the special significance of migrations not only for the inhabitants of the Polish province, but also for the entire German landlord economy. Migration compensated for the labor shortage in Germany’s agrarian sector, ensuring rapid growth in production in the states. The experience of migration stimulated the economic initiative of Poles, increased their standard of living, affected the size of peasant land ownership in the Vistula Land.
Pragmatic Component as the Identifier of Russian Vocative Etiquette
Authors: Balakay Anna
Published: March 2020

The article claims the importance of a pragmatic semantics component fordetermining Russian vocative etiquette character. The semantic structure of vocative combineselements of nomination and predication. Being used in a pragmatic field “me – you – here – now”,in speech, the vocative is indicated by intonation. All that is complicated by syntactic meaningsof real modality, frames of speech time and addressing. According to V. V. Vinogradov, generalvocative meaning is “functionally and syntactically limited”. However, its etiquette meaning isdue to the different circumstances and in this way the semantic structure of a term of addressmay have not only denotative (“vocative”) and connotative (“friendly”, “respectful”, “formal”)components, but also the key components of a communicative situation (types of speaker oraddressee, tone, objectives of the speech). Being associated with others into the meaning semanticstructure, these components form pragmatic vocative meaning

Authors: Amineva Venera
Published: March 2020

Lyrics of the Tatar poet N. Gambar was the subject of the research. His creative activity depicted the leading tendencies of the national historic-literary process at the end of ХХ – beginning of ХХI centuries. Intertextuality became one of the Gambar’s poetic techniques determining his unique creative manner. The present article considers it as a form of a lyrical subject self identification. The works on intertextuality by Yu. Kristeva, G. Genette, as well as the works by B. O. Korman, S. N. Broitman, which determine the principles of subject sphere organization in the lyrical work, influenced the concept of research. System and structure-based and context-hermeneutic approaches were applied for the solution of the set of objectives. It was determined that the Gambar lyrical subject’s self identification as the bearer of the overall generic substance of the mankind, as a representative of a certain ethnos, unique individuality and, finally, as a poet and a demiurge occurs in the dialogue with the Other.
State support of the village social infrastructure systems
Authors: Muravieva Marina
Published: March 2020

The paper presents an analysis of the existing system of state support for rural social infrastructure for the first time. To address this goal the author studied the state information resources and data base of research of the models of state support for the sustainable development of rural areas. The researcher reveals the limitations of research on this subject (the analysis of Web of science, Scopus, Science Direct, Springer Link, Agris, Russian research data base), formulates the descriptive models of various countries in Europe and North America, and groups them into two basic systems. The tests revealed the main factors of the system of public funding of social infrastructure projects. In general financing the algorithms of support for rural social infrastructure were brought to light, the basis of which is made up by two main groups of countries: those with a support system for large rural settlements, selected on the principle of “driving member” and the countries with a system of grant and loan support for rural communities based on projects and local initiatives. The list of systems is not closed, because the study does not affect the countries of Asia, South America, Africa and Australia, which have their own distinctive features. The limitations in a single database of comparable statistical data about the objects of social and engineering infrastructure in rural areas do not allow to assess the effectiveness of investments. The author comes to the conclusion that single common methodology and standards for the evaluation of all forms of efficiency (economic, social, demographic and environmental) the use of state and interstate programs of support of social and infrastructural projects in rural areas, including a preliminary assessment of the needs in social and engineering facilities are necessary.
Present-day Value Orientations through the Prism of Actual Word Compatibility
Authors: Marinova Elena
Published: March 2020

The phenomenon of actual word compatibility appearing in current written speech is considered. The term actual word compatibility is introduced into scientific use to denote new or relatively new compatibility of the words breaking their usual syntagmatic connections and identifying changes in people’s value orientations. Analyzing the compatibility of the adjectives with positive or negative meaning in sintagmas like zdorovyj cynizm (‘healthy cynicism’), razumnaja agressija (‘reasonable aggression’), nezdorovaja dobrota (‘harmful kindness’), etc. the author comes to the conclusion that in the present-day perception there are some value orientations not typical of traditional culture. One of them is aggressive cult of force. The study is performed in the framework of language dynamic description on the material of the texts related to several professional communities (lawyers, psychologists, business coaches) and comments on them on the websites, etc. One of the methods applied is the analysis of potential word compatibility.

s, including the use of urbonymic systems from the point of view of their communicative existence. Urbonymes, their typology, linguistic analysis of functioning of systems of Kazakhstan cities-related onomastic terms are promising issues of Kazakhstan’s Russian studies. The authors emphasize the close relation of onomastic processes to the society life. The formation of onomastic space of independent Kazakhstan and the definition of its national expression are considered by the researchers as one of the most important problems of the modern Kazakhstan linguistics. Language planning and language policy should become an integral part of a general policy aimed at improving the social, economic and cultural situation in the city. This provision is significant for the nomination process in Pavlodar, the onomastic system of which, like of a similar system of any Kazakhstan city, reflects the sociocultural changes taking and having already taken place. The article specifically shows promising new approaches to the study of the city, in particular, from the standpoint of study of general cultural landscape of the city.
Language of poetry as a phenomenon of the linguistic picture of the world
Authors: Bobrova S. V. , Knyazev V. N.
Published: March 2020

The article considers the problem of interpreting the linguistic picture of the world as an essential cognitive phenomenon implicitly inherent in linguistic communication. In contrast to the traditional understanding of the scientific picture of the world, the linguistic picture of the world in terms of the language of poetry expresses the subjective feelings and experiences of the individual. The linguistic picture of the world is essentially identical to the linguistic one, but differs only in a somewhat larger conceptualization. An example of generalized images and latent meanings are the poetic works of Russian classics. The main research method is hermeneutic analysis of a literary text.

Authors: Vardanyan Yu.V. , Paramonov A.A.
Published: March 2020

The article considers the features of the modern educational situation that contribute to the emergence of the syndrome of a teacher’s emotional burnout. Based on the analysis of case studies and their own empirical data, the authors confirm the strengthening of the tendency for the appearance and development of signs of the syndrome among modern teachers. To solve the problem the authors propose and characterize the model of prevention of a modern teacher’s emotional burnout. It includes the unity of methodological, target, content-procedural, technological and productive blocks, implemented on the basis of adaptation, psycho-pedagogical orientation and diversification of prevention. The model reflects he features of implementing the preventive work taking into account the needs of teachers in preventing or solving the problems of their emotional burnout, as well as the available organizational, human and scientific and methodological resources. According to the authors, the result of the model implementation is a gradual transition from an externally organized preventive process to auto-prevention of emotional burnout.
Teaching expats Russian as a foreign language
Authors: Zhukovska A.
Published: March 2020

This article focused on the challenges of teaching the Russian language as a foreign language at elementary level on individual basis with expatriates-employees of foreign corporations working in Russia. The article discusses in detail the characteristics of this student category and analyzes the differences between the individual classes of the teacher of Russian as a foreign language with expatriate students, from working with students in a group. Meanwhile, there has been an attempt to substantiate a new approach to teaching this group of students, which by many criteria it should differ significantly from the traditional approach to teaching Russian as a foreign language, presented in modern textbooks for foreigners. Considering the information findings, teachers have to create their own teaching materials that cannot replace a professionally created textbook. Undoubtedly, this complicates the work of the teacher, slows down the learning process, and does not stimulate the students to work on classes.

Published: March 2020

Anaerobic microbial biodegradation of cellulose containing wastes generated during the long-term manned space missions is a key technological approach for resolving the problem of wastes accumulated onboard of the spacecraft. Herewith are presented data on the possibilities of structurally stable multispecies microbial consortia originating from methanogenic bioreactors to decompose different cellulose substrates – filter paper, medical gauze and vegetable mix as potential cellulose wastes during space missions. The rates of biodegradation processes carried out at mesophilic and thermophilic conditions are not only measured and compared but are providing new opportunities for development of technology for microbial biodegradation of cellulose-rich organic wastes. Moreover, the studies have shown that paper and gauze hydrolysis with the help of cellulolytic bacterial communities can be an effective component of utilization of cosmonaut hygiene items. Biodegradation of plant wastes by community of anaerobic bacteria is promising and applicable tool also under terrestrial conditions. Light microscopy of bacterial communities reveals the presence of Gram-positive spore forming bacilli (short and long forms, bipolar and dividing cells) and typical clostridia forms.
L’École normale Saint-Joseph de Hull, 1909-1968 : 60 ans de formation d’institutrices
Authors: Dufour Andrée
Published: March 2020

Résumé Cet article est consacré à l’évolution d’une école normale de filles située dans l’Outaouais québécois et tenue de 1909 à 1968 par des religieuses, les Sœurs Grises de la Croix d’Ottawa, comme on les nommait alors. L’étude se penche sur le contexte éducatif de l’époque, sur la formation que recevaient les normaliennes, sur ses dirigeants et son personnel enseignant, sur ses programmes d’études et sur les brevets que l’institution offrait. Appuyée notamment sur les Annuaires de l’École normale, l’étude fait aussi largement état des effectifs étudiants, de leurs lieux et milieux d’origine, des diplômes postulés et de leur réussite. En définitive, on peut conclure que l’École normale Saint-Joseph de Hull offrit une formation qui répondait aux exigences du département de l’Instruction publique, aux attentes et aux besoins du milieu ainsi qu’aux aspirations des normaliennes. Cette expérience, qui aura duré six décennies, apparaît en définitive une réussite éducative. Abstract This article explores the history of a girls’ normal school—Saint-Joseph de Hull—located in Quebec’s Outaouais region and run, between 1909 and 1968, by the religious order then known as les Sœurs Grises de la Croix d’Ottawa. It discusses the school’s staff and teachers, the programs and diplomas offered, and the training received by its students, all within the educational context of the era. Drawing on the school’s yearbooks, the author also takes inventory of the girls who studied at the school, examining their numbers, places of origin and social backgrounds, as well as their rate of success. In light of this analysis, the article argues that the École normale Saint-Joseph de Hull offered training that not only met the demands of the Ministry of Public Instruction, but also responded to the expectations of the field and the aspirations of the students themselves. This state of affairs, which would last nearly six decades, appears in hindsight to have been a definite educational success.
Inventing International Students: Exploring Discourses in International Student Policy Talk, 1945 –75
Authors: McCartney Dale M.
Published: March 2020

After the Second World War, Canadian parliamentarians showed growing interest in international students coming to Canada. The students became the subject of policy talk, which was shaped by powerful discourses emerging from the larger historical context. From 1945 to 1969, international students were seen as worthy recipients of Canadian aid, an idea that was premised on the belief that they were temporary visitors to Canada who would return to their home countries with both the skills they learned in Canadian schools and with an overall good- will towards Canada, a valuable commodity in the Cold War context. But after the Sir George Williams University affair of 1969, parliamentarians’ tone changed, and international student policy talk became suffused with discourses of fear and danger. In the years after 1969, international students were imagined as both politically and economically dangerous, an attitude that emerged as a reaction to student protest, but also re ected worries among some policymakers that Canada’s changing immigration system, and its move away from primarily Europeans sources for immigrants, was a threat to the stability of Canadian culture.RésuméAprès la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les parlementaires canadiens ont montré un intérêt crois- sant pour la venue au pays d’étudiants internationaux. Ces derniers devinrent un sujet de discussions politiques qui donna lieu à des discours émouvants alimentés par un vaste contexte historique. De 1945 à 1969, les étudiants internationaux étaient vus comme des récipiendaires dignes de l’aide canadienne. Cette idée s’appuyait sur l’impression qu’ils étaient des résidents temporaires au Canada et qu’ils retourneraient dans leur pays non seulement avec les com- pétences acquises dans les établissements d’enseignement, mais qu’ils af cheraient aussi leur bienveillance envers le Canada, une valeur inestimable dans un contexte de Guerre froide. Cependant, après l’affaire de l’Université Sir George Williams, en 1969, le ton des parlemen- taires canadiens a changé. Les discussions politiques sur les étudiants internationaux furent teintées par des idées de peur et d’appréhension. Après 1969, on imagina les étudiants inter- nationaux comme dangereux sur les plans politique et économique. Cette attitude fut une réaction aux protestations étudiantes, mais re était également les préoccupations de certains politiciens face aux changements du système d’immigration qui ne privilégiait plus les étu- diants venus d’Europe, ce qui présentait une menace à la culture canadienne.
Educational Malpractice? Human Rights, Censorship, and the LGBTQ+ Community in Ontario’s Health and Physical Education Curriculum
Authors: Brenyo Brent
Published: March 2020

The announcement of a new Health and Physical Education curriculum in 2010 by the Liberal McGuinty government resulted in considerable controversy in Ontario. Key religious groups, as well as socially and politically conservative groups, opposed the inclusion of queer-positive content in public education. This opposition ultimately led to the shelving of the proposed curriculum. However, under the Liberal Wynne government, a version similar to the original 2010 curriculum has been taught in schools since September 2015. This paper examines the struggle since the 1960s for curricular inclusiveness of the LGBTQ+ community in the Health and Physical Education curriculum document, and the arguments that have been used to censor the LGBTQ+ community. Ultimately, it was the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Ontario Human Rights Code that prevented censorship in education. Human rights legislation was used to uphold civil rights in both the Catholic and public school systems and rose above the political decision-making that had censored the LGBTQ+ community. RÉSUMÉ L’annonce d’un nouveau programme d’études en santé et en éducation physique, en 2010, par le gouvernement libéral McGuinty provoqua une énorme controverse en Ontario. Des groupes religieux fondamentalistes ainsi que des organismes sociopolitiques conservateurs se sont opposés à l’inclusion de contenu sur l’homosexualité dans les programmes d’enseigne- ment public. Cette opposition conduisit à une mise au rancart du programme. Cependant, sous le gouvernement libéral Wynn, une version similaire au programme original est enseignée dans les écoles depuis septembre 2015. Cette étude s’intéresse à la lutte—en marche depuis les années 1960—pour l’inclusion des membres de la communauté des LGBTQ+ dans les programmes d’études en santé et en éducation physique, ainsi qu’aux arguments utilisés pour censurer cette collectivité. Finalement, ce fut la Charte des droits et libertés et le Code des droits de la personne de l’Ontario qui empêchèrent la censure en éducation. On eut recours à la législation sur les droits de la personne pour soutenir les droits civils autant dans le système des écoles catholiques que dans celui des écoles publiques et supplanter les objections politiques qui censuraient les LGBTQ+.
“Unlike their Playmates of Civilization, the Indian Children’s Recreation must be Cultivated and Developed”:The Administration of Physical Education at Pelican Lake Indian Residential School, 1926–1944

Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT A large body of literature about the residential school system has helped to promote a national awareness and discourse on the issue, but relatively little is known about physical education within that system. This article traces the administrative intent and implementation of physical education—namely sport, exercise, and recreation—at Pelican Lake Indian Residential School from 1926 to 1944. The concept of “citizenship education” was used to focus this study on the ways in which school administrators sought to civilize the students by developing par- ticular ideals of citizenship. Administrators attempted to use physical education as a means to impart character traits, such as self-discipline and good sportspersonship, along with the desire to promote “civilized” ideas about healthy activity. Seemingly trivial elements of residential school life, such as ball games or running races, were part of a broader Indian policy vision that sought the cultural, and, ultimately, the political, assimilation of Indigenous peoples.RÉSUMÉ Plusieurs études sur les pensionnats autochtones ont contribué au développement d’une conscience et d’un discours national sur cette question, mais on connait toutefois relativement peu de chose au sujet de l’éducation physique dans le système. Cet article examine l’intention administrative et la mise en place de l’éducation physique—à savoir le sport, l’exercice et les loisirs — au pensionnat indien de Pelican Lake entre 1926 et 1944. Le concept « d’éducation à la citoyenneté » a été utilisé afin de centrer cette étude sur la façon dont les administrateurs du pensionnat ont cherché à civiliser les élèves en développant des modèles particuliers de citoyenneté. Les administrateurs ont cherché à utiliser l’éducation physique comme un moyen de transmettre des traits de caractère, tels que l’autodiscipline et l’esprit sportif, ainsi que le désir de promouvoir des idées « civilisées » sur les saines habitudes. Ainsi, des éléments de la vie au pensionnat en apparence sans importance, tels que les parties de ballon ou les courses, ont fait partie d’une vision plus large de la politique indienne visant l’assimilation culturelle, puis éventuellement, l’assimilation politique des peuples autochtones.
Smoking, vaping and hospitalization for COVID-19

The study presents an analysis of the current smoking prevalence among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in China, compared to the population smoking prevalence in China (52.1% in males and 2.7% in females). We identified 6 studies examining the clinical characteristics of hospitalized COVID-19 patients that presented data on the smoking status. The expected number of smokers was calculated using the formula Expected smokers = (males x 0.521) + (females x 0.027). An unusually low prevalence of current smoking was observed among hospitalized COVID-19 patients (9.6%, 95%CI: 8.2-11.1%) compared to the expected prevalence based on smoking prevalence in China (31.2%, 95%CI: 29.0-33.4%; z-statistic: 19.16, P < 0.0001). This preliminary analysis does not support the argument that current smoking is a risk factor for hospitalization for COVID-19, and might suggest a protective role. The latter could be linked to the downregulation of ACE2 expression that has been previously known to be induced by smoking. No studies recording e-cigarette use status among hospitalized COVID-19 patients were identified. Thus, no recommendation can be made for e-cigarette users.
Keywords. SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, ACE2, expression, susceptibility, smoking, hospitalization, electronic cigarette.
On the cominimaxness of generalized local cohomology modules
Authors: Bui Cam Thi Hong , Nguyen Tri Minh
Published: March 2020

The local cohomology theory plays an important role in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. The I-cofiniteness of local cohomology modules is one of interesting properties which has been studied by many mathematicians. The I-cominimax modules is an extension of I-cofinite modules which was introduced by Hartshorne. An R-module M is I-cominimax if Supp_R(M)\subseteq V(I) and Ext^i_R(R/I,M) is minimax for all  i\ge 0. In this paper, we show some conditions such that the generalized local cohomology module H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i\ge 0. We show that if H^i_I(M,K) is I-cofinite for all i<t and all finitely generated R-module K, then  H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i<t  and all minimax R-module N.  If M is a finitely generated R-module, N is a minimax R-module and t is a non-negative integer such that  dim Supp_R(H^i_I(M,N))\le 1 for all i<t then H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all  i<t. When  dim R/I\le 1 and H^i_I(N) is I-cominimax for all  i\ge 0 then H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i\ge 0.
PENGARUH PERENDAMAN LARUTAN SULFIT DAN PENGASAPAN BELERANG TERHADAP MUTU KOPRA PUTIH DI KABUPATEN INDRAGIRI HILIR

Published: March 2020

Pada umumnya petani kopra di Propinsi Riau melakukan pengeringan dengan pengasapan langsung atau pengeringan dengan panas api. Pada pengeringan ini, kopra yang dihasilkan dibawah standar mutu yang ditetapkan, dengan ciri-ciri : berwarna coklat, berbau asap, kadar air yang cukup tinggi sekitar 15 - 22% sehingga mudah terserangan mikroorganisme. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbaikan teknologi pengeringan kopra dengan menggunakan sinar matahari sebagai sumber energi yaitu berupa tunel pengering dengan atap dan dinding terbuat dari plastik terpal kembes (warna biru).Alat pengering dirakit dan dicobakan di Desa Teluk Dalam Kecamatan Kuala Indragiri, Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir, Propinsi Riau pada bulan Oktober-Desember 2018. Penggunaan bubuk belerang tampaknya meningkatkan kualitas kopra diproduksi dan lebih hemat dibandingkan penggunaan batok kelapa sebagai sumber bahan bakar. Penambahan bubuk belerang semakin terbukti kualitas kopra putih.
