This article was written within the framework of the project "Famine in Kazakhstan in 1921-1922 and its consequences" and aims to highlight the problem of determining the real causes of hunger and its consequences for the Kazakh people. The development of an objective and balanced assessment of complex and contradictory events of Soviet history has been an urgent task of Kazakh historians over the past few decades The study of the history of the famine of 1921-1922 is in line with the current problems of Kazakh historiography of the Soviet period. However, the question of the reasons that became the basis of this terrible and tragic phenomenon is of paramount importance. As a working hypothesis, the authors put forward the position that the famine of the first years of Soviet power was to a certain extent used by the Bolsheviks for their political purposes.Food policy served as a means of pacifying the rural population and Kazakhs in thefirst place, who for the most part did not understand and did not accept the ideology of the Bolshevik regime. As an evidence base, the authors analyzed such phenomena of the emerging humanitarian catastrophe –food dictatorship, the policy of "war communism", the main link of which was the Military-coercive measures of the seizure of products "clean", did not leave even a minimum for the basic needs of the population. The food crisis was also joined by weather conditions –drought and jute in 1921, which led to the death of the few livestock left after the prodrazverstka. The article examines the activities of armed food detachments engaged in tax collection, endowed with enormous powers, which they exceeded with impunity: they arrested and even shot without trial people who stood up to protect their families.The consequences of the famine had an important socio-cultural significance. The authors put forward the position that hunger became a kind of trauma that had far-reaching socio-cultural consequences for the self-consciousness of the Kazakh people

Os anos de 2020 e 2021 foram marcados pela pandemia da doença causada pelo novo coronavírus (Covid-19), com a chegada do vírus SARS-CoV-2. A doença foi espalhada em uma proporção muito grande pelo mundo inteiro, e diante desse cenário, vários países começaram a pesquisar formas de controle. Em busca de opões farmacológicas para o tratamento da Covid-19, alguns medicamentos que já estavam estabelecidos no mercado, foram investigados e supostos como possíveis opções de profilaxia e tratamento da Covid-19, como a ivermectina. Diante disso, esse estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento dos acadêmicos sobre os aspectos relacionados ao uso da ivermectina, como prevenção e/ou tratamento da Covid-19, por meio de um estudo transversal e descritivo, com aplicação de questionário. Com o levantamento de dados, os resultados demostraram que a maioria dos acadêmicos relatou que não acredita que a ivermectina tem ação em evitar o contágio do vírus, que sabe qual é a indicação deste medicamento e que não fez o uso da ivermectina como profilaxia. Assim, este estudo permitiu avaliar o conhecimento dos entrevistados sobre os aspectos relacionados ao medicamento, sendo importante para o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas à educação em saúde, com o intuito de promover o uso racional de medicamentos e alertar sobre a automedicação.

Authors: Glen Jonathan , Lavallee David
Published: November 2022

This article provides an overview of how coach educators influence meaningful behavior change in sports coaches. Drawing upon the extant research, we outline gaps in the literature before reviewing key factors that influence behavior change in sport coaches. The framework for this article provides examples of five specific hypotheses, including: H1 : Ensure coach education programs are structured and sequenced; H2 : Coach characteristics drive behaviors: H3 : Behavior change is more likely to occur when coaches understand the impact of their behavior: H4 : The learning environment must align with needs of coaches; and H5 : Delivering and receiving feedback appropriately informs coach education practice. We include evidence of how an experienced coach educator influences meaningful behavior change in sports coaches. We conclude with recommendations for sport coach development programs and future researchers.

Published: November 2022

The functional movement screen is an easily administered and noninvasive tool for identifying weaknesses and asymmetry during exercises and daily activity. Also the bilateral asymmetries in flexibility and in Y Balance Test have been associated with injuries. However, relationships among these attributes are unclear especially in young adults. The aim of this study was to determine the association between dynamic balance using the Y-Balance Test (YBT), functional movement using the functional movement screen (FMS) and muscle lengths using a standard goniometer in a young adults. Secondary aims were to investigate whether this parameters differed between male and female. One hundred twenty-three healthy people (male: n=68, age=21.49±1.47 years; female: n=55, age=20.98±1.67 years) participated in the study. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between muscle lengths and FMS, and the YBT. There were positive correlations between the muscle lenghts and the YBT(.197<r.05) when considered as total scores. However, females performed significantly better than male on the shoulder mobility (p = .004) and straight leg raise (p=.000) but poorer than male on the trunk stability push-up (p = .001) and deep squat (p =.000). We conclude that muscle length in young, male and female can effect in FMS and dynamic balance.

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of speed training over the agility, quickness and acceleration for young basketball players. A total of 26 young basketball players (mean ± SD; age: 15,35 ± 0,49 years) volunteered to participate (speed training group (STG; n = 13) and control group (CG; n = 13). We applied the agility (T test), quickness (5 m speed), and acceleration (10 m and 15 m speed). Our results shown that there is significant differences in pre and post training for agility, quickness, acceleration (10 m ) in STG and CG but 15 m acceleration is insignificant in STG. There is insignificant differences in pre and post training acceleration (15 m) in STG and CG. Consequently, the speed training method can be implemented during group sessions in a structured fashion, allowing coaches to optimize the time spent on such physical conditioning activities.

COVID-19 virus disseminates throughout the body but the host response to this infection is variable. Inflammation and coagulation are essential host defense mechanisms that protect from infection. When unregulated these processes can lead to profound end organ injury. Anticoagulation remains a standard for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support. However, bleeding complications are highly comorbid in ECMO patients. For ECMO-supported COVID-19 patients, invasive procedures like tracheostomy may also be required. Invasive procedures can compound ongoing bleeding complications during ECMO treatment like airway bleeding. Although the etiology of airway bleeding is broad, major life-threatening complications may go unrecognized.

Assessment of interest rate channel Effectiveness in the transmission of Monetary Policy in Nigeria
Authors: Yusuf Bulus , AFIEMO OGHENEKARO , ISAH AUWAL
Published: November 2022

This study attempted to investigate the effectiveness of the interest rate channel in the transmission of monetary policy by employing a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model using sign restriction. It used a set of policy and non-policy macroeconomic variables based on monthly data spanning the period 2007 and 2020. The structural impulse response functions provided evidence to support the use of the MPR as a signaling rate for domestic interest rates but was, however, found to be ineffective in stabilizing prices or increasing output. Furthermore, results from the variance decomposition of the non-policy variables found the effect of exchange rate innovations to be more significant in explaining variations in the price level. The study, therefore, concludes that the effectiveness of the policy rate in stabilizing prices is dampened by shocks prevalent from the external sector. Given the importance of international trade, the study recommends aggressive exchange rate management including policies that encourage import-substitution to build reserves and strengthen the value of the domestic currency.
AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DE ÓLEOS DE SOJA (Glycine max L.), GIRASSOL (Helianthus annus L.) E COCO (Cocos nucifera L.) SOB AQUECIMENTO
Authors: PINHEIRO A. A. , LUZIA D. M. M. , JORGE N.
Published: November 2022

Os óleos de soja e girassol são predominantemente poli e monoinsaturados, o que os tornam mais instáveis sob elevadas temperaturas e susceptíveis à oxidação. Por outro lado, o óleo de coco, saturado, tem menor potencial para oxidação e possui elevada estabilidade oxidativa. Óleos compostos podem ser altamente benéficos e servirem como alternativas para consumidores e indústria alimentícia. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar os óleos vegetais quanto às propriedades físico-químicas e ao teor de tocoferóis quando submetidos a altas temperaturas. Os óleos de soja (S), girassol (G), coco (C) e os compostos soja:coco (SC - 75:25, v/v) e girassol:coco (GC - 75:25, v/v) foram submetidos ao aquecimento a 180oC por 15 horas, cujas amostras foram avaliadas em diferentes intervalos de tempo (0, 5, 10 e 15 horas). Na avaliação da qualidade, foi possível observar que o óleo de coco apresentou menor degradação em relação aos demais. Quanto aos óleos compostos, pode-se destacar o GC como o mais eficiente em inibir a oxidação, devido ao menor nível de ácidos graxos poli-insaturados. Na termoxidação, SC e GC quando comparados a S e G, conseguiram minimizar os índices de compostos primários e secundários de degradação, além de reduzir em 40% a formação de compostos polares totais. Ao comparar os óleos compostos, o SC apresentou maior teor de tocoferóis totais, enquanto o GC obteve maior quantidade de vitamina E, maior estabilidade oxidativa e menor degradação. Portanto, é viável a aplicação de óleos compostos como SC e GC em processos que envolvam elevadas temperaturas.

Published: November 2022

U užem smislu kineziologija je definirana kao znanost o ljudskom kretanju. Potreba za kretanjem danas je sve veća zbog poražavajućih podataka o neaktivnosti populacije. Suvremeni čovjek naziva se još i „Homo Sedens“. Kretanje i pokret imaju i mogućnost određenim dijelom pridonijeti liječenju odnosno preveniranju određenih bolesti i stanja. Tjelesne aktivnosti same po sebi ne mogu biti lijek koji će potpuno ukloniti neku bolest. Utjecaj tjelesne aktivnosti na mišićno tkivo može opisati pojmovima hipertrofije (povećanje obujma tkiva) i kapilarizacije (povećana prokrvljenost) te povećanim energetskim rezervama (glikogen, mioglobin, fosfolipidi i fosfati) i povećanom koncentracijom minerala (kalij, kalcij, magnezij). Kineziterapija podrazumijeva upotrebu pokreta i vježbanja kako bi se prevenirale i smanjile posljedice određene bolesti, tjelesnog oštećenja ili ozljede. Rekreacija je najjednostavniji, najrašireniji i najisplativiji oblik tjelesne aktivnosti i brige za zdravlje.

Authors: Gharib Hla , Kovács György
Published: November 2022

Implementing adequate diagnostic strategies for marine engines offers a good possibility to focus on the early recognition of potentialproblems and prevent catastrophic and costly consequences. The successful and increasing application of diagnostic systems and devices for machines depends significantly on the precision of the diagnostic approaches. This research aims to develop an improved diagnosis expert system for determining the real-time technical condition of marine diesel engines. The adequate selection of the diagnostic parameters is crucial in detecting early-stage defects and failures since each parameter responds to the changes in structural parameters of the engine in different modes and degrees. This result provides valuable information on the accurate location of the fault and describes the relationship between operational and structural parameters. Firstly, this article introduces the relevant literature relating to the selection of the diagnostic parameters for marine engines and their subsystems through different statistical methods. The next part contains the description of marine diesel engine subsystems and the selected marine diesel engine’s diagnostic parameters. After that, a newly developed expert system for diagnosing marine diesel engines’ technical conditions is introduced. Finally, a case study of the operation of the developed diagnostic system is presented. The main contribution of the article is the introduction of the newly developed diagnosis expert system, which can be offered to inexperienced users on ships to effectively manage abnormal situations. Furthermore, this diagnostic tool can be applied to the engines’ subsystems to improve the reliability and efficiency of the marine diesel engines’ operation and maintenance.

Configurații geopolitice ale istmului ponto-baltic în contextul agresiunii din Ucraina
Authors:   Școala Națională de Studii Politice și Administrative, STĂNICĂ Andreea-Amalia
Published: November 2022

"Starting the study from the theory of the Heartland, drawn up by Halford John Mackinder, according to which who rules Eastern Europe rules the world, we identify the geopolitical importance of the Ponto-Baltic isthmus. The region imaginarily bordered to the North by the Baltic Sea and to the South by the Black Sea has been a hotspot throughout history. Thus, the strategic importance of the Ponto-Baltic isthmus and the conflicting interests in the region are the current reasons for the confrontation between the Russian Federation and the West. The illegal aggression of the Russian state in Kyiv confirms the hypothesis that Moscow is the main threat to the security and territorial integrity of the states of the Ponto-Baltic region. In this respect, to become aware of the regional geopolitical realities, in the first part of the research both the geographical coordinates of the Ponto-Baltic isthmus and the historical coordinates stated at the national level will be outlined, in keeping with the writings of scholars such as Simion Mehedinți and Nicolae Iorga. Afterwards, the strategy of the Russian Federation in the region will be analysed, in relation to the permanent fuelling of conflicts on the territory of states that pursue their Euro-Atlantic vision. Romania’s role in the Ponto-Baltic region will also be identified, through its status of a regional pivot and a relevant actor in the process of consolidating NATO’s eastern flank. The research will be the result of the cross-use of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, for an in-depth approach to the subject under study."
Geopolitical Perspectives of the Action of the German Military Mission on Romanian Territory between 1940 and 1941
Authors:   „Henri Coandă” Air Force Academy, ŞTEFĂNESCU Daniel-Cornel
Published: November 2022

"The activity of the German Military Mission in Romania in 1940 consisted mainly of training the Romanian armed forces in accordance with the new techniques of war. The efficiency of this military mission was strongly reflected among the Romanian armed forces from the perspective of the Romanian soldier’s training and morale. These defining aspects are addressed in the present article, using the method of historiographical investigation and comparative analysis. The objective historical analysis of Romanian-German relations during the German Military Mission in Romania highlights a legal issue, because between the two countries there were no alliance treaties or military conventions as the legal basis for Romania’s participation alongside Germany in the war, most of the subordination of the Romanian armed forces to the German echelons of command being done by verbal agreement. At the same time, the German Military Mission had a dominant influence on the activities of the General Headquarters and the General Staff, minimising their responsibilities for the design and command of the Romanian armed forces in the theatre of war."

Dairy extension ensures steady flow of information and technology to the client system. Its role in future food, nutrition, livelihood and environmental security becomes indispensable in lieu of daunting challenges especially demand for skilled manpower, resource priorities and quality final products. Research, teaching and extension reforms warrant recalibrated strategies in order to realise sustainable and profitable dairying in the years to come. Extension should play crucial role in bringing informal stakeholders who are still outside the purview of development process and suggest integrated sustainable rural approach. Further, its contribution in popularizing the commercialized dairy innovations and their impact analysis would augment the dairy productivity and vibrancy of dairy sector. This paper discusses improvements in pedagogical approaches, demand driven field extension methodologies and data analytics which would yield greater dividends for future dairy stakeholders.

Published: November 2022

Twelve half sib families were created and two functional traits, viz. age at first heat and age at first calving were recorded for 4,851 and 946 daughters belonging to 12 sires. Partial genome scan was carried out using Interval Mapping with different algorithms. The QTLs obtained for each half sib family were further subjected to meta analysis to identify chromosomal regions associated with age at first heat and age at first calving on 8 chromosomes of buffalo. We identified 4 metaQTL regions on chromosomes BBU1q, BBU6, BBU7, BBU8 and BBU10; 3 metaQTL regions on BBU2q; 2 metaQTL regions on BBU9 and one on BBU15 of buffalo. Comparative genomics was used for finding out genes underlying the meta-QTL regions. 1019 genes were found to be underlying the metaQTL regions in buffaloes assuming buffalo-cattle-human synteny. Several of these genes are supposedly important candidate genes for further analysis as several of them revealed functions related to fertility.

This study was executed to investigate the genetic diversity of Balangir, a local goat population from Odisha, and its differentiation from the geographically closest registered goat breeds, Ganjam and Black Bengal by utilizing 22 polymorphic microsatellite markers. The genotypic status of individuals at each locus was identified by an automated DNA sequencer and allelic data was analyzed for genetic diversity parameters. It resulted in the acquisition of original and comparable information confirming the genetic distinctness of the Balangir goat population. The observed number of alleles varied between 4 (RM4) and 16 (OMHC1) with 8.23Â±0.64 alleles per locus in Balangir goats. A moderate level of observed heterozygosity (0.57Â±0.05) indicated sufficiently existing genetic diversity in this goat population which varied between 0.09 (OarJMP29) and 1 (ILSTS22). Expected heterozygosity (0.64Â±0.04) oscillated between 0.18 (ILSTS34) and 0.89 (OMHC1). Within the population, heterozygosity deficiency estimate (FIS) was significantly positive (0.13Â±0.05) and 73% of the investigated loci contributed towards the homozygote excess. Consequently, significant deviation from Hardyâ€“Weinberg equilibrium was observed at 12 of 22 analyzed loci. Assessment of Balangir goat population for mutation drift equilibrium indicated that the population did not suffer a reduction in effective population size in the last few generations. Four different approaches utilized to study genetic relationships (F statistics, analysis of molecular variance, phylogenetic relationship genetic distance, and individual assignment) indicated that the Balangir goat population was genetically differentiated from the two registered goat breeds. The study highlighted that Balangir is discrete Indian goat germplasm with sufficient genetic variability and needs to be registered as a goat breed of India.

Published: November 2022

Fundamental scientific research has been integral to material progress and improvements in areas from the environment and biotope issues to medical treatment and cultural heritage, yet there is a strand of public opinion that remains wary of science. The Reinforce project aims to involve the public in research, which will ultimately help narrow the gap between science and society, as Professor Stavros Katsanevas explains.
What Are the Main Objectives of Reward Management Systems, and How Has Best Practice Influenced the Development of Them?
Authors: Chen Yusi
Published: November 2022

As companies place greater emphasis on human resource management, reward management systems are increasingly being introduced to motivate employees and improve individual and organisational performance. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the objectives of reward management systems, best practices of reward management systems and how these practices can positively or negatively impact on the development of objectives. In addition to this, the drawbacks of reward power and transformational leadership from a gender perspective will also be explored. Using some typical examples, such as the bankruptcy of Enron, this paper concludes that managerial power and transformational leadership approaches are flawed and exaggerate the power of leaders in corporate decision-making. Companies should adopt both benchmarking and 360-degree feedback and focus more on ethical corporate culture, effective leadership and flexible compensation management systems to maximise the positive outcomes of best practice in compensation management systems.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease associated with obesity (CKD-WO) has increased in prevalence in recent decades. It is characterized by excess adipocytic hormonal imbalances (adipokines), deregulation of the energy balance system, and imbalances in metabolic homeostasis.
Purpose of the review: The objective is to outline the different pathophysiological mechanisms' role in developing functional or anatomical kidney disease in obese patients. We look for updated reports that include the best survival results for patients with CKD.
Recent findings: We currently know that CKD-WO has a chronic pro-inflammatory behavior. Obesity and overweight are associated with hemodynamic, structural, and histopathological alterations in the kidney and metabolic and biochemical alterations that predispose to kidney disease, even when renal function and conventional tests are normal.
Conclusions: We classify CKD-WO in Type 1: Obesity and potentially reversible functional alterations. Type 2: Obesity and potentially non-reversible histopathological structural alterations (includes glomerulopathy associated with obesity and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis). Type 3: Obesity-related to chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure). Type 4: Obesity in the patient with renal function replacement therapy.
