Esnek İstihdam Genç İşsizliğin Çaresi mi? İşsizlik Göstergeleri Üzerinden Bir Tartışma
Authors: ULUKAN Umut
Published: June 2020

Bu çalışma katı istihdamı koruma düzenlemelerinin genç işsizliğinin nedeni olduğunu ileri süren neoliberal söyleme odaklanmaktadır. Çalışmada önce ana akım iktisat anlayışının ve OECD, AB, IMF gibi kuruluşların işsizlik (ve genç işsizliği) üzerine çözümlemeleri ve geliştirdikleri stratejiler eleştirel olarak analiz edilmekte ve Türkiye’deki benzer yaklaşımlar değerlendirilmektedir. Türkiye’deki genç işsizliğinin genel görünümleri TÜİK hanehalkı işgücü istatistikleri üzerinden incelenerek esnek çalışma biçimlerinin genç işsizliğine etkisi incelenmektedir. Buna göre esnek çalışmanın en önemli unsurlarından olduğu ileri sürülen geçici işlerin artışı genç işsizliğinin çözümüne katkı koymaktan ziyade sorunun kendisi gibi durmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra esnek ve güvencesiz çalışma biçimleri gençlerin yoksulluk riskini de artırmaktadır.

Published: June 2020

In learning projectile motion and its velocity, students tend to look up a plain two-dimensional image in a science book. While there’s some educational props, yet they usually a very tradional ones and can not be used for real calculation. The utilization of Augmented Reality (AR) in educational method may raise curiosity and gives a unique way in learning projectile motion as the motion can be seen in a three dimensional. Augmented Reality itself is a combination of real world and virtual objects. This application uses the Vuforia SDK that able to blend the real world and virtual objects. Through this application, we were able to simulate projectile motion and its velocity in more realistic way, have slightly interaction with the reality, and gets input from user so they can learn and see the result of the parameter that they entered. Thus, with the advantage of AR the application gives a more realistic feel compared to the existing ones available in public as it could receive any input and show the output in AR. 
Managing Health Volunteers in a Disaster: The California Perspective, Part 1
Authors: Aristeiguieta Cesar , Tereshchenko Nadia
Published: June 2020

During a disaster, unsolicited health care volunteers pose significant legal, medical, logistical and safety concerns. Coordination and deployment of qualified health care volunteers also has been a major challenge to emergency managers. In response to these concerns the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) encouraged each state to develop an Emergency System for the Advanced Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals (ESAR-VHP). The successful development of California's ESAR-VHP programs required significant planning to address challenges such as license verification, credentialing, privileging, volunteer typing, security and privacy of data, civil liability and workers compensation protection. This article is the first in a three-part series outlining the experience of the California Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) in the development and deployment of the state's ESAR-VHP system.
A History of Wrong Site Surgery in Rhode Island
Authors: Crausman Robert S. , McIntyre Bruce
Published: June 2020

Wrong site, side and patient surgeries continue to occur with alarming frequency. Increasing attention to the critical role of patient safety systems and a culture of safety are important. However, the individual professionals and the boards that regulate them are also important. As the patient safety movement has evolved so has our state medical board's response to wrong site, side and patient surgeries.

Between 1998 and 2008 the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline investigated reports of 10 wrong side, site and patient surgeries or procedures. Four were neurosurgeries, two orthopedic and one each gynecologic, ENT, ophthalmologic and vascular.
NON-REPEATED SUPPORT TECHNOLOGY OF GOB SIDE ENTRY RETAINING WITH ROOF CUTTING TO RELEASE PRESSURE
Authors: Wang Bukang , Wang Qi , Yan Fei
Published: June 2020

Temporary support of the gob side entry is of great significance to the safety mining. Taking
the 1206 transportation tunnel of Shuguang Coal Mine as the engineering background, firstly,
the key technical parameters of roof cutting to release pressure were given, the bolt and cable
support parameters before entry retaining and the large deformation constant resistance cable
reinforcement support parameters of retained entry were determined. Secondly, according to the
overlying strata collapse patterns and mechanical model of gob side entry, the calculation formula
of temporary support resistance in the dynamic pressure bearing area was derived. Finally, on
the basis of determining the temporary support parameters, ZLQ2826/22.5/38 type of nonrepeated
support and transportation equipment of alternating pressure cycles was developed,
the main technical parameters and structural characteristics were analyzed, and a new type of
fast and efficient non-repeated temporary support technology in the dynamic pressure bearing
area was proposed. Field practice shows that the support parameters are reasonable, the
support equipment and bolt support system have a good cooperative support effect, and the roof
subsidence and roof separation have been effectively controlled. In the subsequent use process,
the structure of support devices should be further optimized to improve the support effect.
PREPARATION OF CEMENT GRINDING AIDS BASED ON ALUMINA COMPOUNDS
Authors: Ri Jin Hyok , Pak Yun Sam , Yun Kuang Song
Published: June 2020

When the cement grinding is performed in the ball mill, the grinding efficiency decreases due to
the aggregation of the particles by the electrostatic phenomenon. Therefore, a lot of techniques
for preventing agglomeration using various grinding aids have been introduced. In this study, for
mineral grinding, the grinding aid composition including a water-soluble aluminate compound
and the grinding method in which this grinding aid is used were described. Grinding aids based
on aluminate-based compounds not only have high grinding efficiency but are also thermally
stable as they are inorganic materials. Compared with the conventional grinding aids based on
organic materials such as DEG and TIPA, even if the solid content is half contained, the grinding
efficiency is similar and thus the cost can be reduced to half.

Published: June 2020

İnek sütü yaklaşık %3,4 oranında yüksek kaliteli protein içerir ve insan beslenmesi için oldukça elzemdir. Kappa (κ)kazein, süt proteinlerinden birisidir ve CSN3 geni tarafından kodlanmaktadır. Çalışmalar κ-kazeinin sütün özellikleri veişlenmesi üzerine önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. κ-kazein sütün kesilmesi sürecinde stabilize edici birfaktör olarak rol almaktadır; bu durum, κ-kazeini peynir fabrikalarında istenilir hale getirmektedir. Kappa (κ) kazeinin A ve Bgenetik varyantları iyi bilinmekte ve yoğun çalışılmaktadır. Sığırların genotiplenmesi için PCR-RFLP yöntemi kullanılmaktadır.Bu amaçla, farklı primer çiftleri CSN3 geninin polimorfik bölgesini çoğaltmak için kullanılmaktadır. Önceki bir çalışmada,polimorfik bölgenin HinfI enzimi ile kesimi kısa ve benzer uzunlukta fragmentler oluşturdu. Agaroz jel elektroforezinde çokbenzer DNA fragmentlerinin ayrımı neredeyse imkansızdır ve kısa DNA fragmentlerin yorumlanması bazen zorluklara sebepolmaktadır. Bu sebeple, bu çalışmada yeni bir primerin dizaynı tanımlandı. Yeni primerin kullanılamasıyla daha uzun DNAfragmenti başarılı bir şekilde çoğaltıldı ve bu PCR ürünlerinin HinfI kesimi, agaroz jel elektroforezinde kolaylıkla ayrılabilen veyorumlanabilen çok farklı uzunlukta DNA fragmentlerinin oluşmasını sağladı. Bu çalışmada tanımlanan primer, allel frenkansaraştırmaları ve yetiştirme stratejileri ile ilgili gelecek çalışmalarda kullanılabilir.
Eye Cases Requiring Emergency Intervention in Animals
Authors: Yavuz Ünal , Yener Kerem
Published: June 2020

Head injuries and accidents that cause lesions in the eye tissue can cause loss of vision, pain and severe deformities. In the emergency clinic, intervention in eye injury cases requires accurate and rapid diagnosis. The main objectives of such interventions are to prevention of loss of vision, prevention of loss of bulbus oculi, reduction of pain, and prevention of long-term complications. Traumatic proptosis (especially brachicephalic dog breeds), traumatic retrobulbar hemorrhage, desematocele, iris prolapse and corneal lacerations are more common in dogs, cats and horses when evaluated according to animal species. General condition and regional deformity in clinical examination and loss of vision in systematic eye examination are evaluated. The size of the pupil and pupillary light reflex are determined by using a light source. The size and symmetry of the pupil, the opacity of the ocular layer, eyelids, bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva, and the surface of the nictitating membrane are directly examined by using an ophthalmoscope from a distance. Each animal should be evaluated by Schirmer I tear test, intraocular pressure measurement by tonometer and B mode ultrasonography using a 7.5-12 MHz probe for examination of deep tissues. Complications should be prevented by medical intervention or surgery immediately after diagnosis. In conclusion, it is extremely important to prevent the permanent sequelae of the eye in the emergency clinic through a correct diagnosis without delay.

Şanlıurfa İlinde Isı Stresindeki İneklerde Bazı Ovulasyon Senkronizasyon Yöntemlerinin Gebelik Oranlarına Etkisi
Authors: Çenet Zekiye , Korkmaz Ömer
Published: June 2020

Yaz aylarında, suni tohumlama uygulanan süt sığırlarında, ısı stresinden kaynaklı düşük gebelik oranları gözlenmektedir. Sunulan çalışmada amaç, ısı stresine maruz kalan ineklerde, bazı senkronizasyon yöntemlerinden en yüksek gebelik oranına ulaşılanı belirlemektir. Çalışma materyalini, Şanlıurfa ilindeki bir süt sığırı işletmesinde yaşları 3-7 arasında değişen, en az bir doğum yapmış toplam 112 Holstein-Friesian ırkı inek oluşturdu. İşletmede ısı stresine karşı alınmış herhangi bir tedbir mevcut değildi. Ovulasyon senkronizasyon protokolleri uygulanacak çalışma grupları Grup I (Ovysnch yöntemi), II (Cosynch yöntemi) ve III (Ovysnch + progesteron yöntemi)’e dahil edilecek inekler her gurupta 30 adet olmak üzere rastgele seçildi ve protokol kapsamında suni tohumlama uygulandı. Kontrol grubu olan Grup IV’e ait inekler ise çalışmanın yapıldığı dönemde herhangi bir senkronizasyon yöntemi uygulamadan, östrüs belirtileri gözlemlenen ineklerden (n=22) seçildi ve östrüs gösterdikleri gün suni tohumlama işlemi uygulandı. Çalışmanın yapıldığı Şanlıurfa ilinde, Temmuz-Ağustos aylarında yapılan sıcaklık nem indeksi hesaplamasına bakıldığında süt sığırı işletmeleri açısından ciddi bir ısı stresinin mevcut olduğu görüldü. Ovulasyon senkronizasyon yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı ilk üç grupta östrüs belirtilerinin gözlenmesi (Grup I de %36,67, Grup II’de %16,67 ve Grup III’de %40) açısından farkın anlamlı olduğu görüldü (p<0.001). Tohumlama sonrası 30. günde yapılan transrektal ultrasonografik gebelik muayenelerin sonucunda gebelik oranları gruplar arasında (%23,33, %20, %26,67 ve %22,73) bir fark olmadığı belirlendi (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, Şanlıurfa ve çevresinde süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinin yaz aylarında ciddi derecede ısı stresine maruz kaldığı görüldü ve reprodüktif açıdan verim elde etmek için ısı stresinde ovulasyon senkronizasyon yöntemlerinin kullanılabilir olduğu kanaati oluştu.
Does language matter? Identity-first versus person-first language use in autism research: A response to Vivanti
Authors: Botha Monique , Hanlon Jacqueline , Williams Gemma Louise
Published: June 2020

In response to Vivanti’s ‘Ask The Editor…’ paper (2020), we argue that the use of language in autism research has material consequences for autistic people including stigmatisation, dehumanisation, and violence. Further, that the debate in the use of person-first language versus identity-first language should centre first and foremost on the needs, autonomy, and rights of autistic people, so in to preserve their rights to self-determination. Lastly, we provide directions for future research.
Should we expect bilingualism to confer cognitive benefits in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders?
Authors: Davis Rachael , Montgomery Lewis , Rabagliati Hugh , Sorace Antonella , Fletcher-Watson Sue
Published: June 2020

This article examines the ways in which bilingualism influences social and cognitive development and identifies intersections between corresponding aspects of autism, to inform future research directions. Three key domains are identified: social cognition; executive functions; and social-cultural factors. In each case we describe the evidence for the impact of bilingualism in typical development and map this onto what is known about the domain in autism. We examine the methodological quality of the existing literature to make recommendations for future approaches. Results suggest a dearth of high-quality research and lack of consensus. Research priorities include the need for innovative designs to explore potential impacts of bilingualism in order to increase the validity of the evidence base for caregivers and professionals.
Getting Over It: Working Memory Capacity and Affective Responses to Stressful Events in Daily Life
Authors: Garrison Katie , Schmeichel Brandon
Published: June 2020

Working memory capacity (WMC) refers to the capacity to maintain information in short-term storage while processing other information. WMC has been related to higher-order cognitive functions like language comprehension and goal maintenance, and a growing body of research implicates WMC in emotion processes as well. The current research tested the preregistered hypothesis that individual differences in WMC relate to affective states following daily stressors. We measured WMC in 92 participants using both neutral and emotional WMC tasks and assessed momentary affect, the occurrence of stressful events, and responses to those events using brief experience sampling surveys 5 times per day across 6 days. Results revealed that more stressful events related to higher momentary negative affect, but less so among participants higher in WMC. This result is consistent with the view that WMC plays a role in emotion regulation. Exploratory analyses yielded suggestive clues as to why individuals higher in WMC may experience reduced negative affect following daily stressors.
How does stress affect life satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic? Moderated mediation analysis of sense of coherence and fear of coronavirus
Authors: Dymecka Joanna , Gerymski Rafał , Machnik-Czerwik Anna
Published: June 2020

The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between fear of COVID-19, stress, sense of coherence, and life satisfaction during the coronavirus pandemic. Participants were 907 Polish people (522 women and 385 men). We used the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FOC-6), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The relationship between stress and life satisfaction was mediated by the sense of coherence, and the relationship between stress and sense of coherence was moderated by fear of COVID-19. The fear of COVID-19 acted as a buffer in the relationship between stress and sense of coherence weakening the impact of stress on the sense of coherence. This study is the first to verify the proposed model of moderated mediation during the COVID-19 pandemic and was undertaken in a very large sample. This manuscript highlights the important role of the fear of COVID-19 and sense of coherence in our well-being. An individual’s sense of coherence can affect their subjective well-being and help them to effectively manage stress and reduce anxiety.
Knowledge, cognition, and everyday judgment: An introduction to the distributed semantics approach
Authors: Richie Russell , Bhatia Sudeep
Published: June 2020

Every day, people make countless judgments and decisions, from evaluating the tastiness of a food, to predicting whether an earthquake is likely to strike their state. In order to formally study such judgments and decisions we need: (a) a theory of our knowledge of the natural entities we make judgments and decisions about, and (b) a theory of how that knowledge is used to make judgments and decisions. In this chapter, we review Distributed Semantic (DS) representations which deliver dense, cheap representations for millions of words and concepts, and thus offer theories of (a). We first introduce technical details of DS models, and then review applications to behavior, including semantic judgment, associative judgment, and high-level judgment. We suggest that the promise of existing DS representations has yet to be fully realized, as they are often not combined with cognitively plausible process models, i.e. theories of (b). We suggest some possibilities along these lines, as well as some ongoing and potential future judgment and decision making applications involving very recent DS models that offer distributed representations for phrases and sentences.
Standing up for Whom? Targets’ Different Goals in the Confrontation of Discrimination
Authors: Munder Anja Katrin , Becker Julia C. , Christ Oliver
Published: June 2020

We challenge the common interpretation of targets’ immediate confrontation in reaction todiscrimination as self-serving behavior and propose different underlying motivations for this phenomenon. In five online scenario studies (Noverall = 1,447), we demonstrate across different samples and contexts that targets indicate a distinct pursuit of the following self-reported confrontation goals: individual-benefit (e.g., perpetrator apologizes); group-benefit (e.g., prejudice reduction); and distancing (e.g., demonstrating that one is different from typical group members). Furthermore, meaningful associations of the pursuits of individual-benefitting goals and group- benefitting goals with group identification, disidentification, and further collective action intentions indicate that they represent different confrontation motivations: Individual-benefitting confrontation serves to cope with the individual mistreatment of discrimination, whereas group- benefitting confrontation represents a form of collective action. Distancing goals were associated with disidentification and—unexpectedly—group identification. Our results show that the phenomenon of confrontation in reaction to discrimination can be the result of different underlying psychological processes.
Validation of a Self-Report Version of the German Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior Scale (SWAN-DE-SB)
Authors: Blume Friederike , Buhr Lilly , Kuehnhausen Jan , Köpke Rieke , Weber Lydia , Fallgatter Andreas J. , Ethofer Thomas , Gawrilow Caterina
Published: June 2020

Adults with ADHD experience impairing levels of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, while individuals without ADHD experience these symptoms to a lesser extent. Yet, ADHD self-report scales so far hardly captured continuous distributions across the general population. Additionally, they focused on weaknesses and ignored strengths. To address these shortcomings, we present here the SWAN-DE-SB. The normal distribution of the data collected and the scale’s internal consistency, and factorial and convergent validity were assessed using data from a general population sample. Its clinical utility was evaluated by comparing scores from a clinical sample and a sample without ADHD, and by calculating optimal cut-off values for specificity and sensitivity. The SWAN-DE-SB demonstrated normal distribution of the data collected, high internal consistency, and factorial and convergent validity. It reliably discriminated individuals with and without ADHD, with high specificity and sensitivity. It should therefore be considered a psychometrically convincing measure to assess strengths and weaknesses of ADHD symptoms and normal behavior in clinical and general population samples.
Teaching students how to think, not what to think: Pedagogy & political psychology
Authors: Velez Gabriel , Power Seamus A.
Published: June 2020

Academia is often critiqued as an “ivory tower” where research, thinking, and teaching is isolated from the complexity and everyday experience of so many people. As instructors of political and other psychology courses, we strive to break down these barriers and engage with the dynamic and nuanced nature of phenomena as situated in lived social and political contexts. In this report, we unpack and detail how we strive to achieve this goal by expanding on Plous’ articulation of action teaching (2012). We first define our pedagogical focus on active engagement, critical thinking, and staying on the move between multiple perspectives. We then provide specific examples of how we enact our philosophy in activities and assessment. We end by articulating how this approach to teaching in social and political psychology can be understood as furthering not only our students’ intellectual growth as psychologists, but also their development as democratic citizens. In doing so, we argue that action teaching not only involves course activities directly engaging with social issues, but also provides students with a scaffold to actually do so in a way that is attentive to the complexity, pluralism, and dynamism of social and political issues.
Who Counts? Gender, Gatekeeping, and Quantitative Human Geography
Authors: Franklin Rachel S. , Houlden Victoria , Robinson Caitlin , Arribas-Bel Daniel , Delmelle Elizabeth C. , Demsar Urska , Miller Harvey J. , O'Sullivan David
Published: June 2020

How academic disciplines are represented and reproduced is a charged issue. In geography in particular, the challenge is not only who counts, especially with regard to gender and other factors, but also how the boundaries of the discipline are drawn and which subfields are acknowledged. This paper contributes to both aspects of the discussion by extending recent research on gender, internationalization, and academic gatekeeping to additional subfields of human geography. In particular, we focus on the demographic structure and international diversity of the editorial teams of flagship quantitative geography journals. We find that women are under-represented in our sample, with shares ranging from 23.1 to 43.5 percent—numbers unfortunately comparable to many other geography journals. We also find that career stage is an important factor and that our sample is more international and less Anglophone than the disciplinary norm. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of attending to issues of inclusive gatekeeping in geography and elsewhere.

Literacko‑serialowe lekcje feminizmu. Przypadek Ani z Zielonego Wzgórza
Authors: Balik Maria
Published: June 2020

The article attempts to interpret the character of Anne Shirley in terms of gender studies, mainly taking into account such an issue as the pro‑feminist element in the work of Lucy Maud Montgomery herself, which had an impact on the creation of a new type of heroine breaking the 19th‑century Victorian patterns of that time. Another reading from Anne of Green Gables resulted in a completely new text of culture, Anne with an E (Netflix, CBC), extracting forgotten or unread voices from the pages of novels. The author of the article compares specific situations from the book with TV series’ moments and their mutual impact on the transmitted content and to the constant emancipation of the main character.
Ludzie i przedmioty. Literatura dla dzieci jako szkoła estetycznej wrażliwości
Authors: Baluch Alicja
Published: June 2020

The focus of research in the field of literature for children and youth on objects results from post‑humanistic methodologies and brings about interesting results. Objects play different roles in children’s texts, just as they play different roles in the works of artists, for instance Tadeusz Kantor and Joanna Rajkowska. By interpreting literary texts and works of art, I try to show that the representations of objects from both areas are similar and can serve to the aim of children’s aesthetic education.
Portrety ludzi i zwierząt w powieści detektywistycznej Marty Matyszczak Tajemnicza śmierć Marianny Biel
Authors: Szulik -Opala Tatiana
Published: June 2020

The article points to the advantages of utilizing books chosen and read by students during lessons of Polish. As illustrative example here serves Tajemnicza śmierć Marianny Biel written by Marta Matyszczak, a contemporary detective novel, published in 2017, partially narrated from the perspective small invalid mongrel. The novel’s structure is conducive to discussion of detective stories in didactic work, showing the “Silesian” features of the novel’s characters, and analyzing their seemingly superficial characters. On the basis of the novel, the subject of animal studies may be raised: the animality of the relationship between humans and animals. The article draws attention to the importance of the animal issues in humanities, going beyond the understanding thereof as “the animality of human nature.” It emphasizes the essence of giving voice to the animals and empowering them, without trying to “humanize” them.
Podmiotowość i „przemieszczenie” w komiksie Lucy Knisley
Authors: Do Carmo Moreira Valter
Published: June 2020

In certain way, “displacement” refers to the change. It is the action of a body that moves from a certain space to another. In addition to its obvious physical implications, in the case of human displacement, there are also great subjective implications. In this way, displacement can be of other orders, as symbolic, metaphysical and mental, we can also consider even maturation as the displacement from one psychic state to another. In this case, the present work aims to analyze the different figurations of the concept of displacement present in the work: Displacement — A travelogue by Lucy Knisley, as well as the affiliation of the work to a narrative tradition perpetrated by authors who take the daily genre and the trip report as a means of subjective construction of reality, both in literature and in comics. In order to do so, will be used authors who studied the writing of female authors, having the travel narrative as a research horizon, such as Sonia Serrano and Miriam Adelman; as well as authors who focus on the specificities of the comic language that, under the aegis of “graphic novel”, engender an aesthetic construction that privileges the autobiographical narrative (Santiago Garcia and Hilarry Chute). We intend to highlight the richness that the comics bring to the symbolic construction of the genre “travel diary/narrative” through its peculiarities of self-representation.

Baśń w biblioterapii integralnej
Authors: Miernik Agnieszka
Published: June 2020

This text’s main objective is to introduce the assumptions of the Jungian depth psychology to the bibliotherapeutic process. Bibliotherapy as an interdisciplinary method using psychology and literary studies enriched with the theory of integral psychology formulates a new theoretical perspective and constitutes a proposition of holistic view of bibliotherapy. The extension of the theoretical basis of bibliotherapy will help to augment the therapeutic effect, activate the unconscious (the sphere neglected in school education), and strengthen psyche. Integral bibliotherapy shall create conditions to expand the dialogue between the rational side and unconscious one, and it will contribute to a positive stimulation of the integration processes. Providing archetypal patterns reflecting the rules of life in culture, and drawing attention to the regulatory role of literary works, will enrich both the intellectual and spiritual side of the development of the participant of the bibliotherapeutic process. Archetypal content present in literary texts studied by the participant according to the bibliotherapeutic procedure will achieve an integral orientation focused on the humanistic dimension of existence.

Prosopis farcta has been used traditionally for several diseases as cardiovascular, kidney, diabetes, bacterial infection and it has diuretic activity. This study was designed to evaluate the diuretic effects of P. farcta extract in comparison with spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide in normal and hypertensive rats.Forty eight rats, were divided into Two groups. The First group was consist of Twelve normotensive rats, to represent the control group and normal treated group receiving 50 mg/Kg of P. farcta extract; Six rats in each group.

The Second group involved 36 hypertensive rats, were divided into six subgroups, each of six rats. The First subgroups served as a positive control, the Second, Third and Fourth sub-groups were received 25, 50, 100 mg/Kg of P. farcta fruit extract respectively. The Fifth and Sixth subgroups were received 5 mg/kg spironolactone, and 25 mg/Kg thiazide orally for a week. P. farcta extract produced a significant increase in urine flow, Sodium excretion rate, eGFR and urinary creatinine level. In addition there were significant reduction in heart rate, and serum creatinine and blood urea.

Conclusion: P. farcta fruit extract has mild diuretic activity in normal and hypertensive rats that resemble the potassium sparing diuretics.

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common abnormalities occurring in 40% -60% of Down syndrome (DS) patients. The 5-methyltetrahydrofolate homocysteine methyl transferase reductase (MTRR) is one of the key regulatory enzymes involved in folate pathway. Disrupted folate pathway due to MTRR polymorphism could be a risk factor for CHD in DS. The aim of the study was to determine the association between polymorphism MTRR 66A> G and CHD in DS. Additionally, the impact of maternal endogenous factors on CHD was analyzed, intake of folate through diet, periconceptional folic acid supplementation, smoking and alcohol drinking. A total of 155 children with DS and 148 their mothers have been enrolled in this study. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP. The frequency of alleles and genotypes of MTRR 66A> G polymorphisms was not significantly different between a group with CHD compared to a group without CHD among DS subjects as well as in their mothers. The mothers with mutated homozygous genotypes who have taken folic acid preparations from the fourth week before pregnancy to eight weeks of pregnancy were more likely to have DS-CHD+ child. The study results suggested that maternal MTRR 66A> G polymorphisms associated with their lifestyle habits such as folic acid intake could altered individual risk for CHD in DS child.

Inter-population variability in morphological traits and fecundity of Alburnus alburnus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Bosnia and Herzegovina was analysed in this study. The results of the analyses based on 21 standard measurements and six meristic characters have shown the highest variation between distance between pelvic (ventral) fins and anal aperture. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicate statistically significant differences between six populations. Differences among meristic characters have been tested by Multiple Comparisons Kruskal-Wallas. Obtained results indicate statistically significant difference among samples for number of branched rays for caudal fin (KA/Ca), lateral line scales (Le) and a number of gill rackers (Rac). Discriminant function analysis indicate characters that had the strongest effect on the geographical variation between A. alburnus samples from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Characters with the strongest discriminant power are: preanal distance, length of pectoral fin, length of the ventral (pelvic) fin, minimum body height, caudal fins branched rays, and pelvic fins branched rays.Values for weight of the gonads and gonadosomatic index (GSI) have not shown any statistically significant difference among observed bleak populations. Regression analysis has been used to estimate the relations between GSI and standard length, body, and gonads weight. The gonadosomatic index has shown positive, non substational, relationship to gonads weight.

The relevance of the research topic is to study the features and factors of human capital formation in the agricultural sector. Purpose: the analysis and assessment of the key macroeconomic indicators, socio-economic factors and institutional conditions of investment ensuring formation of the human capital in the Republic of Belarus. Methods – analysis, synthesis, comparisons, tabular, etc. Results of work: the development of human capital allows us to solve numerous socio-economic problems and accelerate the innovative development of the agricultural sector. Human capital is becoming the main source of change in society, as well as a factor in its improvement and transition to a new quality. There is an important problem of the lack of smart and resourceful people in the agricultural sector. It requires people with a high level of professionalism, good knowledge and skills. Nowadays, the possibilities of using and developing innovative labor potential and the effective involvement of resourceful people in labor activity are unfortunately limited. Conclusions: the characteristics of the formation of human capital in the agrarian sphere have been studied, as well as the evolution of their development. The factors determining the accumulation of human capital in agroindustrial complex have been systematized. The main problems of the shortage of agricultural specialists have been identified. These problems are the decline in the vocational qualifications of workers, the outflow of personnel from rural areas, the decline in the prestige of agrarian professions and as a result reluctance of graduates to go to work after their education.

Published: June 2020

Relevance of research topic. The global economic trend is characterized by the “greening” of investment processes in order to ensure sustainable development. One of the instruments of attracting green investments in the economy is green bonds. In this regard, there is a need to create and operate a green bond market in Ukraine. Formulation of the problem. Ukraine has joined the global institutions promoting sustainable development and has declared the transition to a “green” economy, so analysis of foreign experience is needed to develop recommendations to a regulatory framework that will help solve the problem of attracting “green” investments in the Ukrainian economy. Analysis of recent research and publications. Among scientists and practitioners dealing with the problems of green investments, we should mention O. Veklic, Y. Podvisotsky, K. Markevich, M. Grityshina, A. Frolov. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. The issue of using green bonds to finance environmental projects in Ukraine remains poorly understood. Setting the task, the purpose of the study. The purpose of the study is to analyze the global trends in the green bond market and to develop recommendations for using this type of bond to finance environmental projects in Ukraine. Method or methodology for conducting research.  The theoretical basis of the study is the dialectical method of cognition and a comprehensive approach to the study of economic processes in the financial sphere. The following special methods of research were used: historical and economic analysis; statistical and economic analysis; abstract-logical analysis; graphic methods. Presentation of the main material (results of work). The article reveals the positive dynamics of the global green bond market development, and determines that this type of investment is an important segment for Ukraine, which is a member of the world institutions for sustainable development. The state of the regulatory framework in Ukraine, which regulates the circulation of green bonds, is considered. The concept of introduction and development of the green bond market in Ukraine is recommended. The field of application of results. The results of the study can be used in the national financial system. Conclusions according to the article. Analysis of the global market for green bonds has led to the conclusion that this financial segment is characterized by a progressive and positive development. Green bonds have created a new way of attracting investors to green assets, the advantage of which is that investors are involved in the issue of these financial instruments, which put environmental responsibility first. Creating a market for green bonds in Ukraine will allow us to accumulate and direct financial flows for the development and financing of domestic green projects.

To analyze the socio-political vocabulary and to determine the word-formative and semantic potential of these linguistic items. Research methods. The material of the research is a body of lexical items, selected from the language of all-Ukrainian and regional mass media. The descriptive research method and observation method were used as main in this scientific research. At different stages of the research the method of functional analysis was used to determine the stylistic load of lexical items. The comparative analysis of individual lexical positions, which are in different styles of Ukrainian literary language, was done by using a comparative method. Results of work. The article analyzes the word-formative potential of socio-political vocabulary, it distinguishes derivative and non-derivative verbs and presents formations. Application of the results. The results of the research can be used in teaching activities in the course “Scientific and Technical Terminology”, “Business Ukrainian” and others. Conclusions. Ukrainian and foreign-language verbs of the socio-economic sector have formed a great word-formative potential in the internal verbal word-formation, above all, the prefixal and postfixal. Ukrainian verbs are combined with most of the prefixes of the Ukrainian language, foreign-languages verbs – primarily with genetically homogeneous word-formative formats and some Ukrainian ones, in particular.

The HARDOX® 500 and STRENX® 700 steels are quenched materials from hot rolling process. The HARDOX® 500 is a low alloy steel with high values of microhardness and mechanical strength, the STRENX® 700 steel is a low alloy steel structural used in applications, where low density is associated with high mechanical strength. In this work, the two steels were submitted to different heat treatments: quenched and tempering, normalization and full annealing. The effects of these heat cycles were analyzed by optical microscopy and Vickers microhardness techniques. It was concluded that in the normalization treatment, the microhardness reduction of HARDOX® was more significant than that one of STRENX®. In the quenched and tempering process, both presented higher microhardness compared to the originally produced and characterized material with higher austenitic grain refining. The HARDOX® presented an effective increase of microhardness. In the heat treatment of full annealing, the HARDOX® 500 and the STRENX® 700 steels had similar microhardness and microstructural morphology values.
