The Making of American Drug Policy
Authors: White Richard D.
Published: October 2022

This research examines the making of American drug policy and the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914. Depending upon the analytical model employed, different explanations can be offered for early drug policy development. From a rational perspective, the goal of the Harrison Act was to improve relations with China; from an organizational perspective, the Act was intended to protect the financial interests of doctors and pharmacists; and from a political process perspective, the Act was the result of a Progressive-era crusade of a few policy entrepreneurs.
Burials of elite children in the Italian peninsula between the second half of the sixth and the end of the seventh centuries AD. Strategies of funerary distinction and funerary goods in the female realm
Authors: Dalceggio Martina
Published: October 2022

The investigation of elite girls' burials in the Italian peninsula is part of a broader doctoral research project that aims to outline the territorial distribution of Early Mediaeval elite women and girls in the Italian peninsula and analyse the strategies of their funerary self-representation in a short but significant period. Altogether 24 elite girls' burials have been identified in Roman-Byzantine and Lombard territories between the second half of the sixth and the end of the seventh centuries AD. Our analysis focuses on the most significant elements: find context, burial topography, the quality of the funerary goods, and funerary construction. In Byzantine territories, elite children were given ad sanctos burial, but with significant differences in purchasing power between the cities and the countryside. The urban elite was willing to spend huge amounts of money for the burial of their girls inside churches, while the same level of wealth has not been detected in the countryside so far. On the other hand, in the Lombard Kingdom and the Duchies of Spoleto and Benevento, funerals given to elite Lombard girls did not differ from those of older age groups and involved handing over important family brooches between generations. By the mid-seventh century AD, elite girl's burials were frequently near or inside churches and rural oratories, contributing in a significant way to a gradual narrowing of the cultural gap between Lombards and the local population.

Published: October 2022

The success of the Marine Corps organization depends on the ability of its personnel to respond positively and overcome environmental challenges, acquire the new required skills, take official orders assiduously, and exhibit the adaptive performance from assigned tasks. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the adaptive performance model suitable for Marine Corps personnel by using job demands and crafting strategy as predictor and mediator variables, respectively. A quantitative method was used with cross-sectional and purposive sampling techniques. The model was tested using a sample of 230 Marine Intermediate Officers. The goodness of fit of the adaptive performance model is quite positive, with RMR = .05, CFI = .926, and TLI= .908. The results of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis with AMOS 22 showed that: 1) the adaptive performance model offered for Marine Intermediate Officers is quite fit. 2) Job demands have a strong direct effect on adaptive performance. 3) Job crafting acts as a partial mediator between work demands and adaptive performance.
"Brigada Especial Valentí": la justicia franquista frente al contraespionaje que combatió a la «Quinta columna»
Authors: Villar Cirujano Ernesto
Published: October 2022

La lucha contra la «quinta columna» franquista en el Madrid republicano fue una prioridad para el Gobierno durante la Guerra Civil Española. De esta labor se encargaron unidades o «Brigadas» especializadas en contraespionaje formadas por miembros de marcada ideología de izquierdas. En el presente trabajo se analiza la más representativa de ellas, la Brigada Especial Valentí, a través de la actuación de aquellos de sus integrantes que procedían del ámbito civil, la inmensa mayoría de ellos, y, sobre todo, de la respuesta judicial por parte del bando ganador tras la Guerra. En los sumarios abiertos contra ellos se puede apreciar que detener a los máximos responsables de esta Brigada, aclarar cada una de sus acciones y juzgar las actuaciones de sus miembros fue también una prioridad para las autoridades del bando nacional, como lo demuestran lo minucioso de las instrucciones y la severidad de las condenas a los responsables.

Investigation of microalgae culture by autoflocculation methodologies
Authors: Van Anh Le Thi , Anh Thu Tran Ngoc , Thi Dong Phuong Nguyen
Published: October 2022

Harvesting of microalgae from their different cultivation media has pointed out challenges in resolving the problems of flocculation. These challenges must be faced with a  suitable method for inducing flocculation that avoid or limit the microalgae’s contamination. This study developed the fundamental experiments with a support of chemicals and some bacteria strains inducing the flocculation of Chlorella vulgaris SAG 211-19.  Particularly, the determination of minimum content of Mg2+, Ca2+, E. coli ATCC 85922 and Bacillus subtilis MT300405 was effectuated with co-cultivation of microalgae and set up in batch culture in Bold’s Basal Medium. As a result, the adjustment in 25 minutes of 199.2 mg/L CaCl2.2H2O, 50 mg/L KH2PO4, and of 141 mg/L MgSO4.7H2O induced a microalgal settling efficiency of 81% and 70%, respectively. Meanwhile, the perfomance of microalgal removing reached up to 83.6% and 84% by the inoculation into microalgal culture media of a minimum initial cell density of 8.1 ´ 105 CFU/mL of Bacillus subtilis MT300405 and 12 ´ 105 CFU/mL of E. coli ATCC 85922, respectively. The flocculation of microalgal cells by bacterial inoculation did not require a high pH adjustment as in the case of salt addition.
Deterministic Model of Bird Flu Epidemic
Authors: Joseph Udeze Chigozie
Published: October 2022

In this work a deterministic model of bird flu epidemic was investigated. The model included susceptible, infected, and removed or recovered birds. This model revealed that a non-zero population with some peak and low periods had non-zero constants that made the infectious population
to have a possible limit it cannot exceed, no matter the rate of infection. We observed that the disease-free steady state of our model was globally asymptotically stable. We also observed that there should be a bound at which susceptible become infected.

Published: October 2022

We have conducted analytical investigations to study the influence Hall current and Buoyancy distribution on (MHD) unsteady heat and mass transfer free convective in vertical channels. Appropriate dimensional quantities were used in changing the dimensional governing partial differential
equations to non-dimensional form. An analytical method of variables separable was employed in finding the analytical solution of dimensionless governing partial differential equations. The expressions of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number as well as Sherwood
number were gotten analytically and discussed using line graph. From the result obtained, it was observed that velocity profile enhances with the increase of Grasshop number (Gr), Mass Grasshop number (Gc), Hall current (m) and Buoyancy parameter (rt). While it reduces with the
increase of Magnetic parameter (M) and Pradlt number (Pr). Similarly, temperature profile enlarges with the increase of Radiation parameter (R) and Buoyancy parameter (rt). While the opposite behaviour was observed with the increase of Pradlt number (Pr). Concentration profile diminishes
with the increase of both Chemical reaction parameter (Kr) and Schmidt number (Sc). Skin friction gets enhanced with the increase of and Buoyancy parameter (rt) at both y=0 and y=1 and gets reduced with the increase of Hall current parameter (m) at both y=0 and y=1. Nusselt
number enlarges with the increase of Radiation parameter (R) at both y=0 and y=1. While it gets lowered with the increase of Buoyancy parameter (rt) at both y=0 and y=1. Sherwood number slightly increase with the increase of chemical reaction parameter (Kr) at both y=0
and y=1 and significantly decrease with the increase of Schmidt number (Sc) at both y=0 and y=1.
Aplicación del principio de favorabilidad dentro del proceso penal
Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Castellanos Tuay Wellesley
Published: October 2022

El principio de favorabilidad dentro de nuestro sistema jurídico se erige como un componente de orden constitucional que resguarda a las personas que están siendo investigadas por la autoridad penal y las faculta para dar aplicación a las disposiciones que menos afecten sus garantías y derechos fundamentales. No obstante, a ello la norma solo detalla características generales, dejando que la jurisprudencia de las altas cortes desenvuelva su alcance, desarrollo y excepciones del principio. El presente escrito pretende generar una guía práctica para que el estudiante de Derecho pueda analizar el contexto constitucional, jurídico y jurisprudencial que delimita la aplicación del principio de favorabilidad dentro del ordenamiento jurídico colombiano. Para ello, partiremos de las nociones doctrinales del principio y su comparación con fenómenos como la lex tertia, conoceremos su historia y evolución dentro de nuestro ordenamiento jurídico y estudiaremos casos en concreto donde se da aplicación al principio y se preceptúan las excepciones al principio dentro del contexto del proceso penal.
Factores asociados a la presencia de infecciones en el sitio operatorio
Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Olaya López Catalina , Padilla Constante Kisi
Published: October 2022

La calidad de los servicios hospitalarios se mide por el índice de infección que se presente en ellos. Por eso, uno de los propósitos en todo paciente hospitalizado es evitar la presencia de infección, con mayor énfasis en los pacientes quirúrgicos, toda vez que se contemplan dos servicios: quirófano y sala de hospitalización. Pero a la vez, se han de tener en cuenta aspectos que son propios del paciente y otros del medio hospitalario: en los intrínsecos, o propios del paciente, podemos realizar terapias y tratar de controlar los factores siempre y cuando las circunstancias como la urgencia o la programación de la cirugía lo permitan; por su parte, en los hospitalarios se debe contar con protocolos que permitan su verificación. En el presente escrito consideraremos los factores de mayor relevancia en los que la enfermería debe tener una visión holística del abordaje del paciente.
Mapping World Comics: A Review of How Comics Travel: Publication, Translation, Radical Literacies
Authors: Liu Chunwei
Published: October 2022

Katherine Kelp-Stebbins, How Comics Travel: Publication, Translation, Radical Literacies. The Ohio State University Press, 254 pages, 2022, ISBN 9780814215043, 19 b&w illustrations.This review responds to Katherine Kelp-Stebbins’ monograph How Comics Travel: Publication, Translation, Radical Literacies (Ohio State University Press, 2022). This book integrates cultural, translation and comic studies to map out the uneven power distance in international cultural circulation from a ‘translational and anticolonial’ perspective. It puts comic reading in a worldly frame that draws attention to the uniqueness of each culture and rethinks the understanding of comics’ contribution to reinforcing or shattering the borders between cultures, which makes it inspiring reading for readers from both translation studies and comics studies, especially those who are interested in post-colonial research on cultural interactions and power dynamics.

Prevalence of the relative age effect among high-performance, university student-athletes, versus an age-matched student cohort
Authors: Dube Sindiso Rangirirai , Grobbelaar Heinrich Wilhelm
Published: October 2022

Background: Relative age effect (RAE) refers to the overrepresentation of athletes born earlier in the calendar year covering a specific sport. The RAE is especially prevalent in youth sports but often persists into senior competitive levels.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and magnitude of the RAE among student-athletes in a high performance (HP) programme at a South African university, according to year, sports code and sex, compared to the general student cohort.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis of HP-studentathletes and an age-matched student cohort from 2016 to 2021. Birthdate data were extracted for the HP student-athletes (N = 950: men = 644, women = 306) and student comparison group (N = 47 068; men = 20 464; women = 26 591; not disclosed = 13). Differences were determined using Chi-squared and Fisher’s exact test. Residuals examined relative age quartile differences. The steps were applied across academic years, sport code and sex
Results: The RAE was more pronounced among the studentathletes compared to the age-matched student cohort. The RAE was occasionally observed among the HP-studentathletes; however, the prevalence was inconsistent across the respective years under investigation and only noted in certain sport codes (i.e. swimming, rugby union and cricket). There were no sex differences among the HP student-athletes.
Conclusion: Where the RAE was noted, the selection bias favoured the relatively older student-athletes. Themechanisms for RAE are multifactorial and complex. A combination of factors, such as competition depth, thepopularity and physicality of a sport and socialisation may be involved.
Restorative learning for fostering a decolonised curriculum attuned to sustainable teacher education
Authors: Simmonds Shan , Ajani Oluwatoyin Ayodele
Published: October 2022

Social sustainability is paramount for peaceful and inclusive societies. It embraces all cultures and civilizations while promoting that these contribute to, and are crucial enablers of, sustainable development. One aspect hereof is knowledge-what is taught and who decides. South African students remain frustrated with the Eurocentric and Western dominated university curriculum. This was made evident in the iconic 2015 student protest movement that, along with current and preceding protests laid bare the stark inequalities that persist in higher education and students outcries for socially relevant education that acknowledges the global South. In this article, we draw on data that emanated from qualitative interviews conducted with ten North-West University postgraduate teacher education students to unlock their concerns and aspirations for a decolonised curriculum in higher education. Students expressed their concerns with the political nature of the systems of power in higher education that are exclusionary, the need for the curriculum to be contextualized, and the tendency for decolonisation to be perceived as a threat. Students voiced their aspirations for a decolonised curriculum by specifying the importance of decolonisation as a process through teaching approaches like storytelling. We propose restorative learning as one avenue in response to students' outcries for the need to be critical of abyssal thinking and to challenge the root of hegemonic knowledge systems in such a way that decolonising the curriculum can be attuned to sustainability aspirations related to justice and social equity.
George Kennan’s Photography Collection of Political Exiles in Labor Camps of Late Imperial Siberia
Authors: Garth Maria
Published: October 2022

This article examines an album of photographs compiled by the American explorer and scholar George Kennan (1845-1924) on the topic of political exiles in Imperial Russia. As a result of his travels through Russia, Kennan began a large collection of photographs of political prisoners and later donated this album to the New York Public Library shortly before his death. The people in these portraits, some of whom Kennan knew personally, were sentenced to exile and forced labor in Siberia in the late nineteenth century as a result of their anti-tsarist political views. During the extended process of constructing the album from photographs and texts in his archive, Kennan created a multimedia examination of the exile experience which destabilizes traditional narratives of Imperial histories. As a recognized expert on Russia, Kennan built a reputation on his knowledge of Russian politics and personal relationships with revolutionary figures. Through a close analysis of Kennan’s methods and motivations, this article argues that the album of photographs shows Kennan’s deep engagement with politics, memory, and history in the field of Russian-American studies.

Polarization of Deliberative and Participatory Activists on Social Media
Authors: Lev-on Azi
Published: October 2022

The article demonstrates how social media activism polarizes and clusters into distinct deliberative and participatory arenas, using the case study of online activism for justice for Roman Zadorov in Israel. Zadorov was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Still, an overwhelming majority of Israelis think he is innocent, with the social media obstruction-of-justice campaign in his support having raised overwhelming exposure and engagement. Theorists distinguish between participatory and deliberative public processes. Supporters of participatory processes advocate for the participation of multiple stakeholders in addressing public concerns. Supporters of deliberative processes advocate for a thorough evaluation of arguments for and against any course of action before decision-making. This study demonstrates how people congregate online and polarize into deliberative and participatory clusters. The “deliberative” cluster is characteristic of groups led by admins who advocate reaching the truth through exposing relevant information and conducting fact-based deliberation. The “participatory” cluster is characteristic of groups led by admins who believe that their activities should aim exclusively at generating more attention and engagement with the general public.
Matronymic surnames (on the material of Ukrainian variants of Christian names)
Authors:   Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Ukraine), Pradid Yurii
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the methods of creating matronymic surnames, the most common derivative bases of which are the Ukrainian variants of the female Christian names Maria, Iryna, Elena, Melania, Evdokia, Paraska, from which a large part of the surnames of the inhabitants of Ukraine are formed, although the most popular in Ukraine are the names: Maria (2 076 561 women), Hanna (1 723 839 women), Valentina (1 267 461 women), Olga (1 203 052 women), and Galina (1 150 500 women). The most productive method of creating matronymic surnames was determined to be suffixation: out of 139 studied matronymic surnames, 124 were formed by the suffix method, while 7 were formed by the unaffixed method, and 8 by other methods (adding the inflection –o to the base; identity of the surname of the first name). Comparative characteristics of microsystems of anthroponyms “Matronymic surnames” and “Patronymic surnames” allowed us to draw conclusions: the majority of surnames originate from male names and only one in four – from female ones; the compared microsystems of anthroponyms have common and specific suffix formants for each of them. 27 suffixes are used to create surnames from male names, 16 suffixes – from female names, but only 4 of them are typical for creating surnames only from female names, while other 12 suffixes are common for creating surnames from male and female names. The study also confirms the opinion, previously expressed by Ukrainian linguists, that the vast majority of surnames (both matronymic and patronymic) that come from Ukrainian variants of Christian names are formed with the help of the suffixes –енк- (-єнк-) and –ук (-юк). According to the frequency analysis, suffixes -енк- (-єнк-) form the word-forming structure of 45 surnames, while suffixes -ук (-юк) – 39 surnames.
Archaic formulas of language etiquette as a representation of the specifics of the language picture of the world of Ukrainians
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Hnatiuk Lidiia
Published: October 2022

The article on the material of historical and dialect dictionaries, paroemias from the collections “Ukrainian proverbs, sayings, and the like” (collected by M. Nomys) and “Galician-Ukrainian folk tales” (collected, arranged and explained by Ivan Franko), as well as philosophical dialogues of H. Skovoroda, which represent the communication of educated Ukrainians of the 18th century, and interludes of the 17th–18th centuries, texts by I. Nekrashevych and “Aeneid” by I. Kotlyarevskyi, which show the folk formulas of language etiquette, considers the specifics of communicative behavior and language etiquette of Ukrainians of the past, including archaic etiquette formulas of greeting, farewell, apology, gratitude in different life situations that represented the specifics of the language picture of the world of our ancestors, in projection onto common forms of language etiquette, which are widely used today. Some of the formulas of language etiquette (including greeting, farewell, gratitude and apology), spread over the past centuries, are now almost completely obsolete (бодай здоров, будьте вибáчні до мене, Велик спасибог, добридóсвіток, магáй-бі, помагай-бі, помагай-бу; спаси Біг, спасибі благодарствую) or perceived by modern speakers as etiquette expressions with an archaic connotation (здрастуйте, ходи здоров, ходіть здорові, ідіть здорові, здорові ночуйте, простіть мені). Salutatory mini-dialogues, which clearly regulated what the one who greets first says, and what the interlocutor answers (Помагайбі! – Бодай здоров!; Бувайте здорові! – Ідіть здорові / Ходіть Здорові!) have become obsolete too. As a phenomenon of the communicative practice of Ukrainians in different areas remained the distinction добридень and день добрий (to those who were more respected) in Zhytomyr region, добрúдень (greetings in the morning) and день дóбрий (during the day and in the evening) in Kyiv region, etc. Although today’s Ukrainians may perceive certain elements of language etiquette of previous centuries as Russian (благодарствую), in fact, such components were common in Ukrainian language of the 16th – first half of the 17th century (long before Ukraine’s accession to Russia), and were an organic component of the language picture of the world of Ukrainians in the past.
Associative potential of anthroponyms in ukrainian political discourse
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Gapchenko Olena
Published: October 2022

This article is devoted to an experimental study of the associative potential of anthroponyms in Ukrainian political discourse. We turned to a free-associative experiment in order to study the status of anthroponyms in political communication, as well as to reveal their associative potential. The results were interpreted using statistical and typological data processing, along with the methods of component analysis, cognitive modeling, etc. As words-stimulus, we used the names of domestic and foreign politicians from different periods known to modern speakers (not only to specialists in the field of politics and journalists but also to the general public) – no matter the ambiguous attitude of the society toward them and their activities. The experiment participants were representatives of different regions of Ukraine, of different ages, levels of education, and professions. The main object of the analysis was the associative reactions of the speakers obtained during the experiment. The main focus was on studying the semantic specifics of anthroponyms, associative connections, and the peculiarities of the functioning of these units in political communication. The experiment results showed a significant associative potential of the anthroponyms in political discourse, determined by objective and subjective factors. Those associations that have to do with the anthroponyms-names of famous Ukrainian and foreign politicians of different periods convey essential background knowledge of speakers and determine the semantics and pragmatics of these units. Most often, in associative reactions to anthroponymic stimuli, we can trace such denotative characteristics as a politician’s field of activity, the historical period in question, place of activity, nationality, appearance, character traits, intelligence, behavioral features, and other typical features. Furthermore, anthroponyms cause connotative reactions. Experimental studies prove that anthroponyms have, although somewhat specific, yet rich semantics and form a part of the process of encoding and decoding information.
Coreference in the poetic works of Lesia Ukrainka
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Darchuk Natalia
Published: October 2022

The category of coreference plays an important role in the creation of texts, as it is based on fundamental principles of text organization. The linearity of a text and the non-linearity of a situation described in the text are closely related to the mention of elements of a situation with another nomination of this object. Therefore, chains of coreferential names appear in the text and, having a binary relation, partly cause the emergence of a secondary nomination, which is an anaphoric relation with the primary nomination. The purpose of this article is to study the category of coreference in the poetic speech of Lesia Ukrainka based on the corpus of the Ukrainian language represented on mova.info. The object of the research is the idiostyle of Lesia Ukrainka’s poetry, and the subject is the functioning of the category of coreference. The categorical essence of coreference is characterized, the types of representatives of real objects, their functional and stylistic varieties and typical objects of representation in a poetic text are determined, and the most frequent structures are considered. Software for working with coreference has been developed and implemented. It has a user-friendly interface, which allows searching, sort, and doing the quantitative processing of the collected information according to the needs of researchers. On the material of 153 texts, 1520 referentially identical pairs are established. The coreferentiality index and the index of coreference coverage of the text proposed in this article helped to quantitatively assess the saturation of the text with the category of coreference. In addition, the classification of coreferential relations is composed: 1) identity; 2) collection gap; 3) part-whole; 4) predicative identity; 5) metonymy; 6) association. A dependency tree of a sentence made it possible to determine the location of coreferential pairs in the sentence, the position relative to each other, the belonging of the segment with the coreferent or the referent to the complicators of the sentence, i.e., a subordinate clause or phrases. This representation also helped to establish the type of syntactic relationship between the coreferent and the referent, the type of syntactic-semantic relationship between them, the presence of referent-dependent words, the intersection of the coreferent and the referent in gender and number. Automatic extraction of coreferential pairs from dependency trees allowed building intersentential coreference.

Published: October 2022

Article presents method of integral ranking the commercial banks using express analysis of accounting statements. The implementation complex procedure, including analytical, mathematical and software data processing, is at forefront. The main focus of article is strategy of obtaining an integral indicator that influences the decision to invest in the banking sector by various groups of clients. The significant emphasis for individuals who want to save their savings and increase a little due to interest income is placed on the balance of profit and equity. Capital multiplication is not the only strategic decision in banking sector. The strategy should be based on reliability, high stability and balanced indicators. The use of speculative transactions is not provided for in this work, therefore, investor, even if he buys shares of bank, does it for the purpose of long-term dividends, and not for the purpose of resale. The study examined nine banks, the most promising and dynamic (Sberbank was not taken into account as state-oriented structure). The authors identified important indicators for nine Russian banks, the adaptation of indicators was carried out in the SAV mode (C: profit to equity, A: equity to assets, B: liquid resources to assets), to reduce priority. The authors of the article consider the material useful for financial analysts, researchers, individual entrepreneurs and bank employees, as well as for citizens who save money in banks.

Published: October 2022

The broadleaf vegetables require large amounts of nutrients to provide a high productivity, and quality products, mainly due to their short period of development and growth. The green manuring has emerged as a viable alternative to provide these requirements for these vegetables, mainly from spontaneous species in the Caatinga biome. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate and estimate the maximum physical and economic efficiencies of lettuce and arugula agro-economic characteristics in monocropping as a function of equitable quantities of Merremia aegyptia and Calotropis procera biomass mixtures at different growing seasons, using polynomial and exponential models, based on the criteria of biological logic of growth and production of the cultures, of significance of the regression mean square, of high value of the coefficient of determination (R2), of significance of the regression parameters, and of maximization of productivity and profit. The types of polynomial and exponential models chosen estimated the lettuce and arugula agro-economic characteristics with good precision and high R2 values. The maximum agronomic (physical) efficiency of the lettuce and arugula was made possible with the incorporation into the soil of 47.38 and 42.23 t ha-1 of M. aegyptia and C. procera, respectively, and the maximum economic efficiency of production for these leafy vegetables was reached with biomass amounts of 45.96 and 33.61 t ha-1, respectively. The rates of return obtained for lettuce and arugula cultivation for the optimized mixture amounts were 2.6 and 1.5 of those achieved in the control treatment (without fertilization), respectively.

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se os imóveis rurais pertencentes à bacia do Córrego Bonsucesso, localizada em Jataí (GO), apresentam déficit ambiental (área de preservação permanente e de reserva legal). Para isso, foram extraídos dados georreferenciados dos imóveis rurais da bacia estudada no módulo de consulta pública do Sistema de Cadastro Ambiental Rural, em outubro de 2019. Os imóveis foram classificados de acordo com o número de módulos fiscais (MF): pequenos (até 4 MF), médios (4-10 MF) e grandes (mais de 10 MF). A bacia do Córrego Bonsucesso possui 54 imóveis rurais, distribuídos em pequenos (48,1%), médios (31,5%) e grandes (20,4%) imóveis, que ocupam uma área de 16.273,38 ha. Os imóveis grandes representaram 57,8% da área total da bacia, enquanto os pequenos ocupam 12,4% da área total. Na bacia estudada, quanto maior o imóvel rural, maior a APP (r2 = 0,83). Em relação às APPs (622,99 ha), 89,7% pertencem aos grandes imóveis rurais, 6,5% das APPs constituem os imóveis médios e 3,8% os pequenos imóveis. Além disso, a análise do percentual do imóvel destinado à Reserva Legal identificou imóveis com 20% de vegetação (7), área de vegetação excedente (17) e com déficit ambiental (30). Com a perda da cobertura vegetal, ocorre a diminuição da efetividade das funções das APPs nos imóveis rurais da bacia do Córrego Bonsucesso, bem como redução na conservação ambiental pela redução dos remanescentes de RL.

Published: October 2022

Os agrotóxicos são produtos químicos utilizados em atividades agropecuárias. Por serem produtos que acarretam riscos para o meio ambiente e para a saúde pública, são regulamentados por atos normativos. O Brasil se destaca como um dos maiores produtores agropecuários do mundo, e, neste sentido, tornou-se um dos maiores consumidores de agrotóxicos. Nos últimos anos o número de agrotóxicos registrados no Brasil aumentou exponencialmente, ainda que a lei que rege o tema não tenha sido alterada. Logo, houve mudanças normativas e políticas que flexibilizaram os registros e desencadearam o aumento do consumo. O objetivo do presente artigo é analisar as normas vigentes e verificar como se deu a flexibilização dos regramentos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizando os procedimentos de revisão bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados apresentados indicaram que efetivamente houve aumento no número de registros, bem como no consumo de agrotóxicos, inclusive alguns deles de uso proibido na Europa. Concluiu-se que se operou uma flexibilização por questões de decisões políticas e econômicas, desconsideradas as questões de saúde pública e do meio ambiente.

BACKGROUND: Black medic is used as a pasture, cover, siderate, anti-erosion culture for fixing embankments along roads, on mining dumps and for phytoremediation. Mono-, bi- and polycarpic forms are distinguished within the species, differing in the number of fruitions during the plant life cycle. The presence of polymorphism of morphological features and features of ontogenesis suggests the presence of differences in biochemical parameters in the selected groups.
AIM: The aim of the study was to study the polymorphism of biochemical parameters of various life forms of black medic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The material for the study was 20 accessions of black medic of various origins from groups of mono-, bi- and polycarpic plants of the VIR collection. For the study, a freshly harvested green mass of plants was used. The assessment was carried out according to the following biochemical parameters: the content of dry matter, protein, sugars, ascorbic acid, total acidity, chlorophylls, carotenoids, carotenes, -carotene, anthocyanins. Statistical processing of the results included calculation of the main parameters of variation, analysis of variance and discriminant analysis.
RESULTS: The nutritional value of black medic was characterized by the content of crude protein and sugars. The range of protein variability ranged from 11,94 to 19,69 mg / 100 g of raw matter, sugars from 0,44 to 2,67%. Differences in the sugar content of plants of different groups were revealed. The content of ascorbic acid was the highest in five varieties from the polycarpic plant group presented in the study in comparison with wild-growing accessions and the monocarpic Bereginya variety. Monocarpics are distinguished by the content of anthocyanin (19,5 1,41 mg / 100 g); no significant differences were found in the content of other pigments.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of in-depth biochemical analysis of accessions from the collection of plant genetic resources demonstrate the high variability of biologically active substances in the green mass of plants and will significantly improve the choice of the initial material for selection for forage usage.

Published: October 2022

Background.The study was a reaction to an article about the physiological asymmetry of the salivary glands in right-handed and left-handed people.
Aim.To determine the impact of the side of the study on the function of the parotid glands as a possible factor that must be taken into account when evaluating the results of sialometry.
Material and methods.In 22patients with xerostomia, controlled dynamic sialometry was performed in two stages. The second stage was a week after the first one. At the first stage, Lashley's capsule was on the right, the catheter was on the left, at the second stage, the catheter was on the right, the capsule was on the left. Sialometry was performed in the morning, 20minutes after taking 8 drops of a 1% aqueous solution of pilocarpine, for 20minutes. The results with the Lashley capsule outside the duct were considered control, the results with the catheter in the duct were controlled. This eliminated the technological measurement error. The significance of differences in sialometry parameters was assessed using statistical analysis with Student's t-test. The results were considered significant at p 0.05.
Results.In the sample with use of the Lashley's capsule, higher sialometry values on the right were found in 7 out of 22cases (31.8%), on the left in 13 out of 22cases (59.1%) (p0.05). In the group with the use of a catheter, in 15 out of 22cases (68.2%) and in 5 out of 22cases (22.7%), respectively (t=3.4028; p0.001). In a single sample (capsules and catheter), in 22 out of 44cases (50.0%) and in 18 out of 44cases (40.9%), respectively (p0.05). The results of comparing the average values on the right, obtained in 22cases with a capsule (1.20.6 ml), with those on the left (1.30.7ml) showed no significant difference (t=0.5254). Differences in catheter sialometry (1.00.7ml on the right and 0.80.7ml on the left) were also not significant (p0.05).
Conclusion.The secretory function of the contralateral parotid glands under comparable individual conditions is the same. Objectively determined functional symmetry simplifies the analysis of the salivary glands secretory function study results.

BACKGROUND: The problem of diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms of the lungs is extremely relevant. Verification of the malignant process in the case of peripheral localization of the neoplasm in the lung when using ultrasound bronchoscopy does not exceed 70.6%.
AIMS: This study aimed to improve the effectiveness of ultrasound bronchoscopy in the State Medical Institution Chelyabinsk Regional Clinical Center of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine by introducing into clinical practice a modified biopsy technique for ultrasound bronchoscopy. The technique is patented, patent for invention no. RU2719666 C1.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2019 to 2021, a study was conducted based on the endoscopic department of the State Medical Institution Chelyabinsk Regional Clinical Center of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, which included 137 patients. The patients were divided into two groups: the main group included 66 patients in whose examination FBS with endoussis with biopsy by a modified technique was used; the comparison group included 71 patients who underwent ultrasound bronchoscopy with biopsy by a standard technique. The time of biopsy manipulation according to the standard procedure ranged from 14 to 41 min, averaging 305 min. Ultrasound bronchoscopy with biopsy by a modified technique lasted from 16 to 45 minutes, on average 315 min.
RESULTS: In the main group, where FBS with ENDOUSSI with biopsy was used in the diagnosis of patients using a modified technique with endosonographic control of the position of the endoscopic instrument in the pathological focus, the diagnosis of malignant neoplasm was verified in 52 patients (in 78.8% of cases). In the comparison group, where the standard biopsy technique was used in patients with ultrasound bronchoscopy, the diagnosis of malignant neoplasm was verified in 41 patients (in 57.7% of cases). Thus, the verification of peripheral lung malignancies when using a modified biopsy technique increases by 21.1% (p 0.05). FBS with endoussis with biopsy using a modified technique is satisfactorily tolerated by patients and is a relatively safe manipulation.
CONCLUSION: modified biopsy technique developed by us with endosonographic control of the position of the endoscopic instrument in the pathological focus during ultrasound bronchoscopy makes it possible to increase the percentage of verification of peripheral lung malignancies by 21.1% (p 0.05). The introduction and widespread use of the modified biopsy technique for ultrasound bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of peripheral lung malignancies will reduce the time of examination of patients and prescribe antitumor treatment earlier.
