Problems and Risks of Digitalization in Higher Education
Authors: Pashkov M. V. , Pashkova V. M.
Published: March 2022

The article offers a critical analysis of the impact of digital technologies on higher education. The authors discuss digitalization of higher education in relation to broader sociocultural and political and economic challenges: globalization, commercialization, socio-economic inequality, and ethical issues of technology application. Using this approach, the authors demonstrate that first of all, the rapid digitalization of higher education during the pandemic has activated some of the existing tension points and problematic trends: ‘McDonaldization’ of education, managerialism in higher education governance, the consumerist attitude to learning, the development of the elite education model, etc. Secondly, digitalization has introduced new risks related to the growing influence of global technology companies, online modes of the commodification of learning, the digital divide as a factor of educational inequality, and new ethical challenges. If these risks are not timely addressed, it may jeopardize the creative self-organization of educators and students, hinder the development of diverse and ethically responsible practices of technology use, and further make the higher education system unbalanced and more dependent on commercial technology companies. To mitigate the risks, the authors recommend that the academic community scrutinize the educational principles and ideas that are currently guiding the development of educational digital technologies. Furthermore, the academic community should take a proactive stance on how these technologies should work, and which pedagogical and ethical principles should inform their design. It is likewise essential to support the development of alternative models of digital technologies for education to be designed in partnership with all stakeholders in higher education.
Adaptation to Accelerated Digitalization in the Context of a Pandemic: Comparative Study of Higher Education Systems in Russia and Belarus
Authors: Titarenko L. G.
Published: March 2022

The article reflects the input of the first and second waves of the pandemic on the higher education system in Russia and Belarus. The purpose of the article is to identify the level of adaptation to the widespread use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in a pandemic on the basis of comparison of Belarus and Russia. Two research cases of adaptation are compared. Russian research materials covered two stages of functioning the higher education system: during the full transition to distance learning (DL) in Spring 2020, and in the end of 2020 when the institutions of higher education (HEIs) used DL selectively. In Belarus, DL was used partially. Belarusian case is presented by the data of the representative republican online survey conducted in Spring 2021. Survey materials at the Belarusian State University (December 2020 and February 2021) were also used to compare the opinions of students and employees. The Russian and Belarusian research data were compared by issues related to adaptation to DL and its future perspective. It was found that the level of adaptation of the Russian higher education system steadily increased, although differentiations between the HEIs remained. In Belarus, students’ assessment of the quality of DL was generally positive, and adaptation strategies were successful. The results demonstrate an increase in the level of adaptation to the challenges of the pandemic. They revealed the educational potential of DL and confirmed the possibility of successful digitalization of higher education systems. This approach will help maintain competitiveness, the quality of higher education, increase the level of digital literacy and competence of students and teachers.

The theoretical and methodological foundations and factors affecting the competitiveness of the educational activities of the university in the context of globalization and modernization of higher education are considered. Based on the comparative analysis of a significant array of academic and analytical materials to determine the factors of supply and demand (push-pull factors), implemented strategies for the transformation of universities in a group of dynamically developing countries, the authors provide an assessment factors affecting the competitiveness while creating international and regional educational centers of higher education in Uzbekistan, as well as give recommendations on organizational, economic, institutional mechanisms for transforming the higher education system of the republic into a hub for the implementation of international educational programs in the Central Asia.
Moral Foundations of the Theory of Education in Russian Neo-Kantianism
Authors: Vladimirov P. A. , Lebedeva A. V.
Published: March 2022

The article discusses the specificity of constructing pedagogical research within the tradition of Russian Neo-Kantianism. The emphasis is placed on two aspects: 1) philosophy and pedagogy complement each other within the framework of practical philosophy in determining the teleological reason for learning and upbringing, and 2) spiritual and moral foundations determine the efficiency of the process of forming a free and creative individual. The specific features of S.I. Hessen’s concept of moral education in relation to Natorp’s theory of social pedagogy are identified. A comparative analysis of methodological approaches of A.I. Vvedensky and A.V. Veideman to the identification of the purpose of education and upbringing is conducted. The novelty of the study is presented through the actualization of insufficiently studied scientific works of Russian Neo-Kantians, who shared the same field of philosophical discourse with Western European philosophical questions. The relevance of the study is determined by the significance of spiritual and moral values in the context of institutional education. Based on the complex examination as well as the historical and philosophical reconstruction, the general trend of pedagogical research of Russian Neo-Kantians toward the formation of distinct awareness of freedom and its limits is outlined. In the conclusion of the article the authors formulate the statements that have potential for historical and philosophical research, as well as for identification of effective models of correlation of scientific knowledge and spiritual and moral values.

Published: March 2022

Pollution of the marine ecosystem by crude oil spill endangers marine species. The use of chemical dispersants in removing spilled oil from the marine environment by forming oil-in-water emulsions proves to be relatively effective, but the effectiveness is influenced by a number of factors. However, the successful use of these dispersants depends, to a great extent, on the toxicity of the oil-dispersant mixture that forms when dispersants are applied to combat oil spills. In this review, the type and quantity of dispersant used were reported to influence the toxicity of the oil-dispersant mixture on aquatic organisms relative to both the crude oil and the dispersant. The viscosity of oil, the salinity of water and the quantity of dispersants used were discussed as major factors influencing the effectiveness of dispersants. With contrasting results in assessing the overall toxicity of oil-dispersant mixtures on marine life, recommendations were suggested at the end of this review.
Environmental Assessment of Future Potential Evaporation for Al-Najaf Governorate, Iraq through Evaluating Various Estimation Methods Using Statistical Downscaling Model
Authors: Kareem Hayder H. , Alkatib Aseel A.
Published: March 2022

The hydrological cycle in nature is affected by climate changes, which are reflected in the water resources on the Earth (surface and underground) as evapotranspiration, thereby causing water scarcity. Increasing global temperature rates have exacerbated evaporation rates (PET). To estimate PET, scientists invented many mathematical equations, the most prominent of which is the Penman-Monteith equation. Most of the innovative methods require the provision of many parameters to be implemented; therefore, feasibly worthless for application in data mingy regions. The performance of the four PET estimation methods has been investigated depending either on temperature or radiation observed at Al-Najaf Governorate, Iraq. The accuracy and efficiency of each method have been evaluated with the outputs of the reference Penman-Monteith method. Through assessment, Hargreaves Samani temperature-based method reveals high acceptability of the estimated PET than the Jensen-Haise method and the other radiation-based methods (Penman and Makkink). The Statistical Downscaling Model/Tool (SDSM version 5.2) is applied to predict temperature values for the years 2050 and 2100. Estimated PET using Hargreaves Samani formula for 2050 and 2100 shows that Al-Najaf Governorate will encounter severe water scarcity due to the expected future increase in evaporation rates. Overall, regions classified as dry with high temperatures are compatible with methods of estimating PET values that depend on temperatures more than those that depend on radiation.

Self-stabilisation of Cellular Automata on Tilings
Authors: Fatès Nazim , Marcovici Irène , Taati Siamak
Published: March 2022

Given a finite set of local constraints, we seek a cellular automaton (i.e., a local and uniform algorithm) that self-stabilises on the configurations that satisfy these constraints. More precisely, starting from a finite perturbation of a valid configuration, the cellular automaton must eventually fall back into the space of valid configurations where it remains still. We allow the cellular automaton to use extra symbols, but in that case, the extra symbols can also appear in the initial finite perturbation. For several classes of local constraints (e.g., k-colourings with k ≠ 3, and North-East deterministic constraints), we provide efficient self-stabilising cellular automata with or without additional symbols that wash out finite perturbations in linear or quadratic time, but also show that there are examples of local constraints for which the self-stabilisation problem is inherently hard. We note that the optimal self-stabilisation speed is the same for all local constraints that are isomorphic to one another. We also consider probabilistic cellular automata rules and show that in some cases, the use of randomness simplifies the problem. In the deterministic case, we show that if finite perturbations are corrected in linear time, then the cellular automaton self-stabilises even starting from a random perturbation of a valid configuration, that is, when errors in the initial configuration occur independently with a sufficiently low density.

Authors: Samba Garba Mansourou , Bouderbala Sherazede
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND/AIM: Hypertension is a global public health problem and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this paper, we study the effect of olive cake (OC) on blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, redox status and vascular remodeling in dexamethasone-induced hypertensive (HT) rats. METHODS: HT rats were divided into two groups fed standard diet supplemented (HT-OC) or not (HT) with OC at 7.5% for 28 days. A control (C) was submitted to standard diet for the same experimental period. RESULTS: Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures were higher in the HT vs C and decreased in HT-OC vs HT. Aortic nitric oxide value was decreased in the HT vs the C and increased in HT-OC vs HT. Aortic lipid and protein oxidation products were higher in the HT than C and lower in the HT-OC vs HT. Aortic antioxidant enzymes activities were reduced in HT than control and increased in the HT-OC vs HT. The aortic wall thickness, medial cross-sectional area, media to lumen ratio and the number of VSMCs were higher in the HT and the OC has regressed vascular redemptions. CONCLUSION: In hypertensive rats, OC may alleviate blood pressure and arterial remodeling by suppressing oxidative stress, increasing antioxidant activity, improving endothelial function, preventing smooth muscle proliferation and thickening of the tunica media.

A model black liquor formulation for use in development and evaluation of membranes for concentrating weak black liquor
Authors: SINQUEFIELD SCOTT
Published: March 2022

As part of a larger program to develop robust membranes for concentrating weak black liquor prior to the evaporation step, several commercially available membranes were tested for suitability in this application. Given the variation in kraft black liquor for various wood species, the mill-to-mill variations, and the challenges of obtaining fresh samples, the need became apparent for a synthetic reference black liquor that would allow any membrane developer to test a new prototype membrane and compare the results with others.
We present a formulation for a model black liquor (MBL) similar to real kraft black liquor in the composition of the major species that can be formulated from readily available reagents. The MBL was tested with two commercial membranes and resulted in similar levels of lignin retention as the real black liquor. It also showed similar viscosity behavior to real black liquor as a function of solids content.

Authors: Chua Fang-Fang , Lim Tek-Yong , Tajuddin Bushra , Yanuarifiani Amarilis Putri
Published: March 2022

Software Requirements Prioritization (SRP) is one of the crucial processes in software requirements engineering. It presents a challenging task to decide among the pool of requirements and the variance of the stakeholder’s needs in prioritizing requirements. Semi-automated requirements prioritization is implemented in both manual and automatic processes. When prioritizing requirements, these aspects such as importance, time, cost and risk, should be taken into account. The emergence of machine learning is advancing to improve and automate the SRP process whereby decision making can be performed with minimal human intervention. Incorporating machine learning approaches in prioritization techniques can be implemented in the ranking process and classifying the priority group of the software requirements. A Semi-Automated Requirements Prioritization framework (SARiP), which implements semi-automatic process in requirements prioritization is proposed. SARiP concentrates on the areas related to prediction of requirements priority group and ranks requirements using classification tree and ranking algorithm. SARiP has been successfully evaluated in the government sector domain by the i-Tegur team from the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Housing and Local Government of Malaysia (KPKT). 80% of the participants agreed that SARiP is extremely likely to help the participants in prioritizing the requirements for their projects. All participants agreed that SARiP is reliable and useful. Recording the requirements and results for the prioritization will be considered for future work and traceability function will be included to trace the requirements changes.

Authors: Weay Ang Ling , Palaniappan Sellappan
Published: March 2022

This study examined the two different modes of multi-modes information presentations that affected sequential and global learners' history understanding: thematic and chronological. A total of 134 secondary schools’ students were enrolled (69 learning in chronological mode, 65 learning in thematic mode). Before the start of the treatment session, students were given a pre-test. The results showed that multimodal information presentation did not have a significantly great impact on historical learning or between pupils who learn in chronological and thematic ways. The chronological frame of reference technique, which reflected an interactive timeline, was reported to have supported students' sequential learning in chronological mode. Students who learned in thematic mode, on the other hand, had greater gains in points of historical understanding than students who learned in chronological mode. Students who exhibited a significant difference in their assessment of historical understanding proved the effectiveness of multimedia information presentation in acquiring history-related abstract ideas.

Objective: Demonstrate the increase in neonatal mortality rates from preventable causes and its relationship with premature birth. Methodology: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, developed from secondary data from the mortality information system (SIM) available at the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian National Health System (DATASUS). Results: In the year 2019 neonatal mortality for extreme immaturity and preterm newborn prevailed 877 cases (57.1%) over the total deaths referring to gestational disorders of short duration, corresponding to 600 cases (39%) of deaths for extreme immaturity and 277 cases (18%) of deaths for preterm neonates. Discussion: It is observed that in Brazil the highest rate of neonatal mortality is related to the ICD 10 P07 indicator that refers to disorders related to gestation of short duration and low birth weight. Conclusion: It is important to emphasize that even if there is inadvertence in the computation of the notification of these data, there is still a high number of cases in this category, because it is a public health problem that affects pregnant women and their families nationwide.

As áreas com formações não-florestais presentes na Amazônia Legal Brasileira estão sob a ameaça devido ao aumento do desmatamento associado à agricultura, pastagens, infraestrutura rodoviária e do aumento populacional das cidades e povoamentos. Todavia a sua diversidade de fisionomias vegetacionais e seu status de conservação ainda são pouco conhecidas. A presente pesquisa apresenta uma proposta metodológica de mapeamento das áreas com formações não florestais, com base no melhor entendimento da dinâmica de uso e cobertura da região amazônica, seguindo as classes do Projeto TerraClass. O estudo foi conduzido em uma área localizada do estado de Rondônia e se propôs a realizar a análise da paisagem por meio de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento utilizando a plataforma Google Earth Engine para o ano de 2019. Os resultados revelam uma mudança na paisagem, onde as classes Pastagem, Floresta e Não-floresta compõe a maior parte da paisagem da área. Os dados de uso da terra gerados a partir do processamento de imagens de satélite e o cruzamento dos polígonos de não-floresta mostraram que as classes Pastagem e Floresta passaram a compor a maior parte da paisagem onde deveria ter somente a presença de não-floresta. Ressalta-se a importância da continuação do mapeamento da dinâmica das mudanças da paisagem que garantam a conservação das áreas de remanescentes não-florestais dada intensidade com que as mudanças ocorrem na região.

Keeping animals in zoos is important for the preservation of endangered species. However, captive animals can also be affected by different species of parasites. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in wild and exotic animals from two zoos in the state of Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil.  Fecal samples were obtained by spontaneous defecation of 287 specimens, grouped into mammals (n = 101), birds (n = 99), and reptiles (n = 87). The samples were assessed using two techniques, Mini-FLOTAC and Ziehl-Neelsen, to identify helminths and protozoa, respectively. In total, 60.2% (173/287) of the animals evaluated were positive for some type of gastrointestinal parasite. Among the classes evaluated, mammals (81.1%; 82/101; p-value <0.0001) were mostly affected, followed by birds (56.6%; 56/99) and reptiles (40.2%; 35/87). Furthermore, our findings showed that the parasites Ancylostomatidae and coccidian oocysts were the most abundant among the species. It is important to highlight the first record of some parasites in species in the South America, such as: Ancylostomatidae in Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) and Brown Bear (Ursus arctos); Toxascaris leonina in Leo (Panthera leo); and Trichostrongyloidea and Ascarididae in Equus quagga burchellii and Lama glama. Taken together, our data showed a high occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in captive animals, including zoonotic species, which may pose a risk to animal and human public health.

Leishmaniasis are notifiable diseases, characterized by severe clinical manifestations, being caused by obligate intracellular protozoa, belonging to the genus Leishmania, where the species L. (L.) infantum and L. (V.) braziliensis are responsible for most cases. of leishmaniasis in Brazil. Many studies indicate the need for investigations into the exact role of animal species in the epidemiology of leishmaniasis, particularly of skunks and rodents, where the presence of these animals increases the chances of humans and other animals becoming infected. Considering the scarcity of information on the epidemiology of leishmaniasis in some regions of the State of Pernambuco, the objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of infection by Leishmania spp. in wild, synanthropic and domestic animals. For this, the parasitological diagnosis was carried out through exfoliative cytology of the skin of cutaneous lesions, in addition to PCR of the L. donovani and L. braziliensis complex of blood and spleen, liver and skin biopsy of rodents and skunks captured in an endemic area for leishmaniasis in the state of Pernambuco. In the locations where synanthropic animals positive for Leishmania were captured, blood, skin, bone marrow and lymph nodes were collected from the canine population. As a result, amastigote forms and DNA from the L. donovani complex were detected in 8.3% (2/24) of synanthropic animals (D. albiventris and O. nigripes). In the canine population, 29.4% (15/51) of dogs reactive for Visceral Leishmaniasis, and 6.6% were parasitologically and molecularly positive for the L. donovani complex. Thus, it is concluded that skunks, rodents and dogs participate in the transmission cycle of the L. donovani complex.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi revisar os principais efeitos do treinamento de força na pressão arterial de idosos. Para tal, foi realizada uma busca nas bases indexadoras do SciELO e Google Acadêmico entre os anos de 2010 e 2021 utilizando como descritores “treinamento de força”, “saúde cardiovascular”, “pressão arterial” e “idosos”. Após passarem pelos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram analisados e incluídos 4 artigos nesta revisão, os quais majoritariamente indicam que o treinamento de força é uma ferramenta eficaz para promover controle das cifras pressóricas na população de idosos. Os resultados sugerem que o treinamento resistido pode ser sim uma forma de auxiliar no controle da hipertensão arterial sistêmica de idosos assim como os anti-hipertensivos. Dessa forma, os autores do presente trabalho recomendam que exercícios de força devem ser inseridos dentro da periodização e planejamento, aumentando a possibilidade de controle das cifras pressóricas.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi revisar o efeito do treinamento intervalado no emagrecimento em adultos. Foi realizado uma busca pelos materiais através do Google Acadêmico, com base em artigos publicados entre janeiro, do ano de 2011 e o mês de dezembro, do ano de 2021. Seis artigos compõem esta revisão e neles são abordadas as seguintes informações: protocolos do treinamento intervalado, HIIT, eficiência do treinamento intervalado, vantagens do treinamento intervalado, adaptações fisiológicas provenientes do treinamento intervalado, vias energéticas predominantes no treinamento intervalado, treinamento intervalado e emagrecimento, exercícios intermitentes, exercícios intervalados e VO2máx. Dois estudos não definem o treinamento intervalado tão influentes no emagrecimento, enquanto quatro apontam  a relação entre  volume e intensidade da metodologia estudada grande influência nas alterações físicas gerais e foco no emagrecimento. Ainda que considerado essa relação direta, a intensidade proposta é responsável pela qualidade e quantidade do resultado buscado.

A gerência em enfermagem exige do enfermeiro uma ênfase maior nas competências de liderança, coordenação e direção. Tais capacidades fazem com que os profissionais busquem mais conhecimento, possibilitando responder às demandas profissionais, organizacionais e pessoais. Diante disso o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar na bibliografia nacional as competências do enfermeiro no aspecto gerencial no âmbito hospitalar. A metodologia trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, realizada por meio das bases de dados virtuais PubMed, Scielo e Lilacs. A coleta dos dados se deu em entre julho e agosto de 2020. Para a construção da seguinte pesquisa foram selecionados 10 artigos, os quias foram apresentados seus resultados e discussões. A partir das análises, compreendeu-se que na perspectiva de enfermeiros que atuam no contexto hospitalar, as competências gerenciais, liderança, tomada de decisão, comunicação e planejamento e organização são indispensáveis à sua atuação. O enfermeiro compreende a sua importância nesse papel na instituição, percebendo-se como profissional agregador e conhecedor das relações trabalhistas e administrativas, propondo estratégias capazes de alcançar um cuidado planejado e de qualidade a vários pacientes, primando pelo raciocínio crítico, satisfação profissional, reconhecimento e qualidade da assistência, elementos inerentes à realização e satisfação de um artífice. É evidente medidas educacionais, a formação de grupos de apoio às intervenções e as consultas de enfermagem como ações educativas desenvolvidas pela enfermagem, bem como apresentar subsídios para estudos na área e apoio acadêmico quanto à temática abordada.

O treinamento funcional (TF) é um conjunto de movimentos que trabalham várias capacidades físicas ou biomotoras simultaneamente, ou seja, ao mesmo tempo. Como consequência desse desenvolvimento integrado das capacidades físicas, o individuo tem mais eficiência nas atividades da vida diária e também tem uma melhora na aptidão física geral e esportiva.  Este estudo de revisão sistemática (RS) buscou na base de dados do PUBMED, artigos de propostas de intervenção de TF para crianças escolares. Ao final da RS, foram encontrados apenas 5 estudos com algumas características e propostas de intervenção de TF para crianças entre 6-12 anos no período escolar. Os resultados destes estudos mostraram que o TF tem inúmeros benefícios na aptidão física, na composição corporal e também no aumento de motivação dos alunos, quando comparados ao método tradicional de aulas de Educação Física (EF). Devido a essa carência de estudos na literatura sobre TF para crianças, este estudo propõe uma cartilha de treinos funcionais, baseada em movimentos adaptados de super-heróis como Homem Aranha, Hulk e Mulher Maravilha. Para tanto, se concluiu que é possível criar novas propostas metodológicas de ensino de EF se baseando em pouca literatura disponível e que são necessárias mais investigações a respeito de TF para crianças escolares, motivando os professores de EF à criar novas propostas de TF que englobam os super-heróis ou mesmo outros elementos essenciais para despertar motivação e participação dos praticantes.

A adolescência se caracteriza por ser uma fase evolutiva na qual o indivíduo estabelece sua identidade adulta a partir de internalizações e identificações ocorridas na infância, principalmente na relação com seus pais, mas também levando em conta as influências da sociedade em que vive. Objetivo: identificar os aspectos socioculturais do adolescer com deficiência física. Método: Pesquisa descritiva, exploratória de natureza qualitativa. Resultados: ao analisar os dados, foi possível verificar que os adolescentes relataram a existência ainda de preconceito na sociedade brasileira, além da dificuldade de se relacionar com pessoas da mesma faixa etária. Alguns adolescentes acreditam que este comportamento discriminatório vem diminuindo, mas para que estes resultados sejam evidentes são necessárias grandes transformações sociais e políticas. Conclusão: os adolescentes necessitam de um atendimento integralizado e humanizado para que possam lidar com os limites e dificuldades decorrentes da deficiência física e simultaneamente desenvolver todas as possibilidades e potencialidades para que possam seguir com dignidade suas vidas.
