Gobernanza y estructuración de acuerdos informales y recursos de uso común en el caso de pequeños productores rurales de la Sabana de Bogotá
Authors: Sanabria Néstor , Cárdenas Jesús , Martínez Clemencia
Published: September 2022

Este artículo se fundamenta en el marco teórico de la tesis doctoral “Modelo de autogestión colectiva y productividad en el sector agrícola de pequeña escala de la Sabana de Bogotá”. Se construye un cuerpo de hipótesis que involucra: a) la sostenibilidad de los recursos de uso común; b) el impacto de estos sobre la productividad; c) los alcances de los acuerdos informales; y d) las relaciones entre estos y el capital social. Esta implementación es probada mediante un mecanismo diseñado con información de encuesta obtenida con los productores de las asociaciones en la zona. El mecanismo se valida a partir de incorporar los costos ocultos derivados del acuerdo de protección a las fuentes hídricas, en este caso cuatro ríos, y los costos factoriales correspondientes. El resultado se prueba mediante componentes principales y se obtiene que los datos usados en el modelo tienen una confiabilidad del 82 %. Esto muestra los alcances y validez de las cuatro hipótesis propuestas y el marco teórico.
Building and Strengthening Teacher Communities: Improvement Plan for the Profile Journal
Authors: Cárdenas Melba Libia
Published: September 2022

Scientific or academic publications have become the best accepted media for scientific and academic communities—mainly established in universities or research centers—to share the knowledge they create and give it greater visibility worldwide. That is, these journals are at the core of scientific communication, which requires permanent assessment of the editorial work and careful planning bearing in mind the responsibilities and needs of the stakeholders that are involved in the production and use of these periodical publications. In this article, I share an improvement plan for the Profile journal, whose purpose is to strengthen the journal’s editorial management and, thus, support the generation and consolidation of communities of teacher researchers.
The Factors Contributing to Language Teachers’ Effectiveness in an EFL Learning Context: A Questionnaire Validation Study
Authors: Nayernia Akram , Nosrati Rana , Mohebbi Hassan
Published: September 2022

This mixed-methods study explores the factors contributing to the language teachers’ effectiveness in the context of English as a foreign language. Through a systematic review of the literature, six main factors were extracted: assessment literacy, content and pedagogical content knowledge, experience, oral proficiency, personality type, and self-efficacy. In the first phase of the study, 13 experts in the field shared their attitudes towards these factors through a semi-structured interview. The data obtained from the interviews was analysed thematically to develop a questionnaire. Ninety-three language teachers participated in a pilot study to validate the newly developed questionnaire. The results were factor analysed. After the required modifications based on the factor analysis were introduced, a questionnaire with 19 items entitled “EFL Language Teachers’ Effectiveness” was developed.
Learning English From a Critical, Intercultural Perspective: The Journey of Preservice Language Teachers
Authors: Gutiérrez Claudia Patricia
Published: September 2022

Critical language teaching education has become an inescapable endeavor for language teacher education programs. To contribute to this effort, this paper outlines the implementation of an English course from a critical, intercultural perspective, during the first semester of a language teacher education program in Colombia. It also reports the ways preservice teachers responded to this implementation as evidenced in data stemming from their oral and written outcomes and from course evaluations. Results indicate that this approach to language teaching allowed preservice teachers to affirm their multiple identities as they developed and strengthened their language skills in English. Data also indicate that looking at the world from a more critical perspective entailed contradictions and challenges for preservice teachers and the teacher educator.

Mental Health of People Under Isolation During the covid-19 Outbreak: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Castaño Díaz Carlos Mauricio , Berrío García Nathaly , Alba-Marrugo Mario Alejandro , Sánchez Escudero Juan Pablo , Marín-Cortés Andrés , Tungjitcharoen Worawach
Published: September 2022

We conducted an exploratory study using a survey inquiring on seven topics on how people were reacting to the covid-19 pandemic of 2020 aiming to trace a map of symptoms and feelings related to mental health and isolation. 1785 people participated in the survey. Additionally, we applied two psychological scales to analyze depression and stress (prevalent in previous studies). We found that people in isolation during the pandemic presented symptoms related to dissociative disorders, negative affect, and anxiety syndrome. Also, depression and stress had a high prevalence compared to the average rates indicated by the World Health Organisation and the Colombian Ministry of Health. The results indicated an association between depression and stress and being previously diagnosed with a mental health problem, and job and financial situation. Our results highlight the need to design prevention and intervention programmes to reduce the negative consequences of isolation.
Design and analysis of grooved heat pipe
Authors: Kirubadurai B. , Kanagaraja K. , Jegadeeswari G. , Kumaran T.
Published: September 2022

A heat pipe is a heat conduction program that utilizes both heat permeability and regime shift concepts to transport heat effectively between 2 different lines. A heat pipe is made up of a pipe or tube and a base fluid. In practice, the heat pipe is poured into a mould that is compatible with the cooling media. These devices have found uses in a variety of fields, including space apparatus, solar energy systems, electronic equipment, and air conditioning systems, due to their simplicity of design and ease of manufacture and maintenance. Thermal performance improvement being the major concern in our project we researched different techniques. The heating surface area has a direct impact on heat transfer. Therefore, we have focused on heat enhancement by introducing grooves. Alongside we also considered using different materials for the pipe. At the end of our research, we are going to produce groove structure models with different materials and analyze them using ANSYS software and propose the best structures with highest thermal efficiency for different applications of heat pipes. This is an attempt to increase heat transmission in response to various material and structural changes. Heat transmission is improved with grooved heat pipes as well as heat transmission various with different types materials used in heat pipe.

Supreme Ruler Versus Ataman: The Conflict Between Admiral A.V. Kolchak and Ataman G.M. Semenov in November – December 1918 in the Documents of French General M. Janin
Authors:   Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Gagkuev Ruslan
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article focuses on a critically important episode in the history of Russian Civil War on the Eastern Front – the conflict between the Supreme Governor of Russia Admiral Alexander V. Kolchak and Colonel Grigory M. Semyonov, commanding the 5th Pri-Amur Corps in November – December of 1918. Semyonov’s nonrecognition of Kolchak’s government after the coup d’état on November 18, 1918 and their heated exchange of telegraph cables led to a long-standing conflict in which the Supreme Governor failed to exert his authority over Semyonov, who was supported by the Japanese Expeditionary Corps. Methods and materials. Their confrontation ended only in May 1919 with concessions made by Kolchak, which was reciprocated with recognition of his authority by Semyonov. Further details on conflict dynamics are revealed in the papers of Maurice Janin, who headed the French military mission in Siberia, and had arrived in the Russian Far East in November 1918 as the chief of the Allied military mission in Russia. Analysis. En route from Vladivostok to Omsk, General Janin stayed in Chita on December 5–6, where he found himself in the middle of the conflict between the Supreme Governor and ataman. Janin’s memoirs published in 1933 and documents from the collection of Service historique de la défense – the Archives center of the French Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces were used when putting this paper together, the latter made public for the first time. Details of conversations between Janin and ataman Semyonov, transcripts of his meetings with Japanese general Jiro Oba, negotiations by direct wire with France’s High Commissioner to Siberia Eugène L.G. Regnault and Admiral Kolchak represent a significant contribution into the history of this conflict. From his arrival to Russia Janin noted the disunity of anti-Bolshevik movement. Results. The information on ataman Semyonov, as well as on Kolchak and his entourage that he collected in the Far East, and his failure to resolve the conflict in Chita led him first to a conservative, and then to an openly negative assessment of White movement’s future outlook on the Civil War’s Eastern Front.
From the History of Civil War Language Development: “Kornilovshchina” and Legitimation of Political Violence
Authors:   European University at Saint Petersburg, Kolonitskii Boris , Godunov Konstantin ,   European University at Saint Petersburg
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article examines some of key words used by Russia’s opposing political forces in 1917. Method. Using methodological tools of the Cambridge Cambridge school of intellectual history the authors study the meaning of words “Kornilovites”, “Kornilovism” and “Kerenshchina”. The authors study the different contexts of political statements and of political usage of these words. Analysis. The rhetorical design of the conflicts that preceded the Kornilov affair influenced the course of this political crisis: people of different views assumed that the crisis is inevitable, and it would take the form of a violent confrontation. Some people even believed that this crisis would develop into a civil war. Results. The Kornilov affair was perceived as an outbreak of a the civil war, it changed the discursive situation: for some actors the words “Kornilovites”, “Kornilovism” became a tool for describing political enemies, and all compromises with them were excluded, while for others these words were a sign of forming of their own political identity. In such situation, the positions of supporters of political compromises were weakened, while different scenarios for the political solutions by force acquired many new supporters both “from the left” and “from the right”. Such descriptions and self-descriptions of political opponents justified the use of violence, and it contributed to the country’s slide into the full-scale civil war.
Caesar on Decision Making in the Conditions of the Civil War
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander and Nikolay Stoletovs, Demina Svetlana
Published: September 2022

Introduction. This article investigates the situations of decision making described in Caesar’s “Commentaries on the Civil War”. Methods and materials. The information about decisions of Caesar, Pompey and their supporters is investigated by the comparative method. Analysis. According to Caesar, the commander’s decisions must be independent, rational, and directed to the common good. If the making peace by way of the parley is impossible, the victories with minimal casualties for both battling armies are this good. Caesar shows, that his own decisions corresponded always to this demands unlike Pompey, who was guided by his emotions and the opinions of others. Caesar criticizes slightly and justifies decisions of Curio who was his supporter. In his work, Pompey’s commanders arrive at the decisions in their interests hastily and are ready to abandon their troops for take flight. Curio’s decisions were also ill-advised and hasty, but, unlike Pompey’s commanders, he preferred death in battle to the disgraceful flight. The decisions of the military council and the soldiers of Pompey’s army are in Caesar’s work more rational, than the decisions of their commanders, and are directed to making peace as soon as possible. Results. The descriptions of the situations of decision making in Caesar’s “Commentaries on the Civil War” are not numerous, but they execute an important propagandistic function. Caesar does not criticize his adversaries, but he shows to the readers, that Pompey and his commanders with their ill-advised, egoistic, wrong and hasty decisions were guilty of the unleashing this civil war, its duration and the numerous victims.
Civil War Memory Policy in the Documents of Contemporary Spanish Parties (2007–2021)
Authors:   Kuban State University, Kostenko Yulia
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The topic of the article is relevant, since the memory of the Civil War of 1936–1939 is an important factor of political processes in modern Spain, including the positioning and discourse of political parties. Methods and materials. The purpose of the article is to determine the semantic dominants of the construction of the memory policy by the political parties of Spain in 2007–2021. The research is carried out on the basis of social constructivism, the concepts of historical memory of P. Nora and A. Assman, and discourse analysis. A secondary analysis of the results of sociological surveys was conducted. Analysis and results. The article reveals the political orientation of the “Act on Historical Memory” of 2007 and the proposals of political parties on its reform. It is proved that the ruling Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party is interested in reviewing the policy of memory, deepening its anti-Francoist content. The left-wing parties – “Unidas Podemos” and “Mas Pais”, as well as the Catalan parties, most radically advocate the adoption of a new law on historical memory, honoring the victims of the war. The centerright forces-the People’s Party and “Ciudadanos” (“Citizens”) to limit the effect of the 2007 Act, portraying the parties to the conflict – Republicans and nationalists – as equally responsible for the violence. The right-wing radical party “Vox” openly considers itself the successor of Francoism and its unitarian program, placing all the blame on the Republicans. The activity of parties of Catalonia and the Basque Country in the field of constructing historical memory is evaluated, the trends of contrasting the memory of the Civil War in public opinion throughout Spain, as well as Catalonia and the Basque Country are shown. Conclusion. In general, the policy of remembering the Civil War for 2018–2021 has become much more important for public opinion, which is explained by the current political competition.
Overview of Modern Foreign Publications on the Evacuation of Basque Children to the Great Britain in 1937 During the Civil War in Spain
Authors:   National Research Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Tsymbalova Anna
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The historic episode of the evacuation of 4,000 Basque children to Great Britain after the bombing of Guernica was a striking and dramatic event in the Spanish Civil War. Despite a forty-year period of oblivion, since the 1980s after Spain’s transition to democracy, there has been a surge in interest in this topic, which has not subsided in foreign studies until this moment. Methods and materials. This article uses a problematic approach to select the most interesting and relevant research on such a specific topic as the evacuation of Basque children to Great Britain in May 1937. Moreover, such general scientific theoretical methods as: analysis, comparison, generalization and forecasting are used. Analysis. In the course of the analysis, the article investigates both the main directions of modern research on this topic and the approaches on which these publications are based. The most interesting author’s conclusions and ideas are considered, a comparative analysis of publications is carried out, and promising topics for future research are proposed. Results. One of the characteristic features of modern publications on the evacuation of Basque children to the UK is their emphasis on the psychological component and cognitive aspects, but each publication does this differently. The authors pay great attention to the issue of identity and find many interesting explanations why, in the end, the self-designation of oneself as “Basque children” played a key role in the formation and maintenance of collective identity. All publications to one degree or another touch upon such an aspect as the formation of a sacrificial image of Basque children in the media, which pursued certain political goals.
Civil War in Ukraine: Scientific Approaches and the Factor of the Cossacks
Authors:   Electronic scientific journal “Arkhont”, Bredikhin Anton
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The events in Ukraine in 2013-2014 contributed to the manifestation of the Ukrainian political crisis, which led to the secession of the Crimean Peninsula, the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. The new Ukrainian authorities, realizing the impossibility of returning the Crimea, launched a military operation against the DPR and LPR, the so-called “ATO”. The general civil confrontation between Kiev on the one hand and Donetsk and Luhansk on the other hand led to the beginning of the civil war in Ukraine, the fact of which is not recognized by the Ukrainian authorities, but is presented as “Russian aggression”. Methods. Through institutional analysis, the study identifies approaches to understanding the factor of the civil war in Ukraine. Analysis. The participants of the armed confrontation, both on the part of Ukraine, and on the part of the DPR and LPR, are Ukrainian citizens. The fact that there are a significant number of Russian citizens among the militia, primarily from among the Cossacks, is due to the historical unity of the lands of the pre-revolutionary Region of the Don Army, socio-cultural and blood-related factors. The participation of the Cossacks in the conflict is of particular importance in the context of Ukraine’s positioning itself as a “Cossack country”. An important place in the understanding of the military confrontation is occupied by the transnationalization of political elites for the post-Soviet space, which acts as an impulse for the unity of the population of the former USSR. In a civil war, there is no boundary dividing the parties on civilizational, ethnic and linguistic grounds. But at the same time, some authors highlight the factor of regional identity. Results. Approaches to the definition of the civil war in Ukraine are revealed. The reluctance of the perception of the concept of “civil war” by the Ukrainian authorities is determined. The assessment of the further development of the civil war in the country is given.
The Austro-Prussian War 1866 as a Civil War: Contemporary Opinion
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Vlasov Nikolay
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Main research goal of this article is to identify the key features of perception of the Austro-Prussian war 1866 as a “civil war” by its German contamporaries. Methods and materials. The methodology of this research – first of all the approach to discourse analysis – is borrowed from the Cambridge school (Q. Skinner, J. Pocock). Main sources are official statements, letters, parliament speeches and press articles from the German states in 1866. Analysis. The term “civil war” can be used as a label for the Austro-Prussian war only if the existence of a single German nation within the borders of the German Union is presumed. Therefore it was assumed that this term will be used mainly by the “Great German” nationalists. This hypothesis was confirmed, but the term “civil war” emerged also as a part of other discourses – conservative-legitimist and (to a lesser degree) pro-Prussian. After 1866 almost no use of this term related to the Austro-Prussian war can be discovered. Results. The term “civil war” was widely used in 1866 within the framework of different, first of all anti-Prussian discourses. Main goal of this praxis was to condemn Bismarck’s politics. Prussian victory led to rapid disappearance of the “Great German” discourse after 1866. The term “civil war” was replaced by another terms (“German war”, “Fraternal war” etc.).
Embracing the In-Betweenness of Aspect-Perception's Normative Dimensions
Authors: Dinishak Janette
Published: September 2022

Abstract: This paper examines the following two ideas and their relations: (i) aspect-perception is a perceptual experience; (ii) veridicality is the primary standard for evaluating the success of a perceptual experience. I argue that a valuable lesson to glean from Wittgenstein’s investigations of aspect-perception is that aspect-perception is “in-between” when it comes to whether and how veridicality is at issue in it. Yet it does not follow from this in-betweenness that there is no standard by which we evaluate aspect-perception, no notion of success at perceiving an aspect. Aspect-perception has normative dimensions that are not a matter of veridicality, or at least not in any straightforward way, some of which I explore here. These normative dimensions are brought to light, in part, by shifting evaluative focus to what the perceiver “brings” to aspect-perception experiences and attending the ways aspect-perception requires and involves mastery of a technique. The shift in focus also helps illuminate different ways of understanding aspect-blindness and the kinds of failure at play in different kinds of aspect-blindness. All in all, embracing aspect-perception’s in-betweenness regarding whether or not veridicality is at issue in it illumines aspect-perception’s distinctive character and richness.
The New Literacies of Online Reading Comprehension: Expanding the Literacy and Learning Curriculum
Authors: Leu Donald J. , Gregory McVerry J. , Ian O'Byrne W. , Kiili Carita , Zawilinski Lisa , Everett‐Cacopardo Heidi , Kennedy Clint , Forzani Elena
Published: September 2022

This commentary explores a central issue for our times, online reading comprehension. It first defines three issues that have largely gone unnoticed as the Internet enters our classrooms: 1) literacy has become deictic; 2) effective online information use requires additional online reading comprehension practices, skills, and dispositions; and 3) misalignments in public policy, assessment, and instruction impede our ability to prepare students for the effective use of online information and communication. It analyzes the Common Core State Standards for Reading and Writing in the U. S. and the Australian National Curriculum in relation to elements of online reading comprehension. It argues that continued misalignments especially jeopardize opportunities for those students in districts that are economically challenged.

Creating Space for Children's Literature
Authors: Serafini Frank
Published: September 2022

As teachers struggle to balance the needs of their students with the requirements of commercial reading materials, educators need to consider how teachers will create space for children's literature in today's classrooms. In this article, 10 practical recommendations for incorporating children's literature in the reading instructional framework and across the curriculum are offered. Each recommendation is intended to help teachers reenvision the role of children's literature, create space for children's literature across the curriculum, and respect children's literature as a work of art and literature, as well as a pedagogical resource.
NEW DATA ON SILTING OF THE KRASNODAR RESERVOIR
Authors:   Kuban State University, Pogorelov Anatoly V. , Laguta Andrey A. ,   AGM Systems LLC, Kiselev Evgeny N. ,   Kuban State University
Published: September 2022

The paper analyzes spatial features and long-term dynamics of silting of the Krasnodar Reservoir, the key object of the entire reclamation system of the Krasnodar region with a 3.35 billion m3 annual limit of water intake for irrigation; the analysis is based on bathymetric survey data. Accurate and up-to-date estimates of siltation volumes and changes in the hydrometric characteristics of the reservoir are necessary to develop a correct long-term strategy for the consumption of water resources in the region. The reservoir has noticeably transformed since it was put into operation in 1973: it has divided into two independent reservoirs with the formation of an extensive barrier from sediments of the Kuban and Belaya rivers, and transformations are continuing. Bathymetric surveys of 2005, 2016, and 2021 were used to calculate the volumes of silting and hydrometric characteristics of the Krasnodar Reservoir. We have established that, taking into account the detached Tshchikskoe Reservoir and the bridge that has formed, over the period 2005–2021 the area of the mirror at a normal retaining level decreased from 382 to 224.2 km2, while the useful volume diminished from 1,606 to 1,270.4 million m3. Over the same period, the dead volume decreased from 192 to 135.1 million m3. During the period between the last bathymetric surveys, the volume of siltation amounted to 24.66 million m3; the average siltation rate for 2016–2021 (4.93 million m3) was found to be lower than the average value for 2005–2016 (6.86 million m3). With a background thickness of the silt layer of about 0.1 m for the period between the last surveys, its greatest values (1–3 m and more) were noted below the protruding Kuban delta at a section of more than 2 km long.
GEOECOLOGY OF THERMOKARST LAKES OF WESTERN SIBERIA IN THE ZONE OF INFLUENCE OF AN ARCTIC TOWN (A CASE STUDY OF THE TOWN OF NADYM)
Authors:   Tyumen State University, Soromotin Andrey V. , Prikhodko Nikolay V. ,   Tyumen State University, Sizov Oleg S. ,   Institute of Oil and Gas Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Dayzel Aleksandr V. ,   Tyumen State University, Kudryavtsev Aleksandr A. ,   Tyumen State University, Zakirova Milena R. ,   Tyumen State University
Published: September 2022

The paper provides geoecological assessment of natural and urban thermokarst lakes for the town of Nadym, typical of the West Siberian Arctic. Although there is no developed industry in the town, we have found that there occurs an anthropogenic transformation of the geochemical composition of the surface waters of urban thermokarst lakes in comparison with background ones, which is manifested in an increase in the alkalinity of water and in chronic contamination with petroleum products. The reasons for these changes are littering of coastal zones with construction debris and historical pollution with cement dust from the house-building plant. Surface waters and bottom sediments of urban lakes contain significant concentrations of petroleum products, which for a long time have been carried into lakes by surface runoff from the territory of garage cooperatives of the industrial zone. It is shown that geochemical analysis of urban lakes should consider not only neutral or increasing effects of natural factors but also local conditions and the historical aspect of anthropogenic impact.

Published: September 2022

Isu utama kajian semasa bertujuan untuk menganalisis morfologi percampuran morfem terikat dan leksikal daripada bahasa Arab dan Inggeris (penukaran kod intra-perkataan), dan mengetahui bagaimana penukaran kod jenis ini dilakukan. Kajian ini juga mengkaji pengekalan penutur terhadap struktur morfologi bahasa Arab dan proses pembentukan kata semasa menggunakan juzuk bahasa Inggeris. Bagi mencapai objektif kajian, kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Iaitu, data kualitatif dikumpul daripada perbualan Facebook di kalangan pelajar universiti Jordan. Teknik analisis tematik digunakan untuk menyediakan analisis morfologi intraperkataan Arab-Inggeris penukaran kod. Tambahan pula, penjelasan beberapa perbezaan morfologi antara bahasa Arab dan bahasa Inggeris disediakan bersama dengan analisis. Contoh penukaran kod dalam perkataan yang digunakan dalam sembang, ulasan dan siaran di Facebook oleh pelajar universiti Jordan disiasat. Analisis data mendedahkan bahawa terdapat tiga pola penukaran kod dalam perkataan; percampuran antara morfem infleksi Arab dan kata nama Inggeris, percampuran antara morfem infleksi Arab dan kata adjektif bahasa Inggeris, dan percampuran antara morfem infleksi Arab dan kata kerja bahasa Inggeris. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa pelajar tidak menggunakan sebarang juzuk terikat bahasa Inggeris dengan morfem bebas bahasa Arab. Selain itu, penutur mengabaikan sebarang tuntutan tatabahasa bagi kata kerja bahasa Inggeris yang disisipkan seperti penanda kala sekarang dan masa lalu. Selain itu, data mendedahkan bahawa penutur melakukan penukaran kod intra-perkataan dalam kata nama bahasa Inggeris. Di samping itu, pelajar Jordan mengekalkan peraturan morfologi Arab tanpa sebarang pelanggaran semasa mereka menggunakan konstituen bahasa Inggeris. Kesimpulannya, percampuran kod sering dijumpai dalam perkataan dan kajian ini memperkenalkan potensi implikasi teori yang ditujukan kepada Akademi Bahasa Arab di Dunia Arab. Ahli Akademik ini bertanggungjawab untuk mencipta perkataan Arab yang sesuai yang memenuhi keperluan penggunaan bahasa Inggeris. Mencipta perkataan Arab baharu akan mengehadkan penggunaan bahasa Inggeris dalam wacana bahasa Arab, menjimatkan kemurnian bahasa Arab dan memperkaya bahasa Arab dengan istilah baharu. Itulah bahasa Arab perlu mempunyai leksikon baru untuk berkembang dan terus hidup.
PID Regulator and Fuzzy-Digital Filter Combination in the Thermoelement Control Task
Authors: Bobyr M. V. , Milostnaya N. A. , Nolivos C. A.
Published: September 2022

The thermoelement control system basis on the fuzzy logic has been developed in this article. This system improves the stability characteristics of devices using a PID controller in their structure. This effect is achieved by reducing the output signal, the value of which is calculated using a fuzzy digital filter. The main aspect of the fuzzy digital filter is the use of the area ratio method during defuzzifing. The limitation of this method is the use of triangular membership functions. The experimental results presented in the article demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The study has shown that the time of transient processes with the combined control of the thermoelement is reduced by 16—22 %.
Rescue of the Walking Robot from an Emergency Position on the Back in the Presence of Uneven Support
Authors: Golubev Yu. F. , Koryanov V. V. , Melkumova E. V.
Published: September 2022

A method of swinging of the six-legged robot to ensure its overturn from the "upside down" position is proposed. As a support, we consider an inclined plane with a slight slope towards the flip, with a pit and optionally with a bump next to it. The position of the fixed support can be set by sequential rotations around two different axes. It is shown that the overturn is possible with the help of cyclic movement of the legs, if the body has an upper shell in the form of a truncated cylinder. The legs on the pre-chosen edge of the body through which the flip should occur, are passive, and straightened along the body so that they do not interfere with the flip. The legs on the opposite edge are active; they perform synchronous movement in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body, with a fixed angle in the knee. The results of simulation of the full dynamics of the robot in contact with the support by means of the "Universal mechanism" software package are presented. Specifics of swinging due to the slope, the pit and the bump are shown. For a typical set of robot parameters, the results of numerical experiments for pits of approximately the largest admissible sizes in cases where the support surface is rotated around one axis, around two axes, and for different types of pits, deep and shallow. In all cases, there is a bump next to the pit.

Astronomi konu ve kavramları çocukların her zaman ilgi odağında olan büyüleyici bir konu olmuştur. Bu sebeple okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin astronomi eğitimine yönelik deneyimlerini ortaya çıkarmak, nasıl etkinlikler tasarladıklarını ve bunları nasıl yürüttüklerini belirlemek, bu esnada kendilerini yeterli/yetersiz görmeleri ve bunun sebeplerini belirlemek önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin sınıflarında yaşadıkları astronomi eğitimine yönelik deneyimlerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırma Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde görev yapmakta olan 52 okul öncesi öğretmeni ile yürütülmüştür. Öğretmenlere veri toplamak amacıyla yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar aracılığıyla altı soru yöneltilmiş olup, bu veriler içerik analizi metodu ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada çocukların öğretmenlerine astronomi konusunda en çok gök cisimleri ile ilgili sorular sorduğu, öğretmenlerin astronomi konu ve kavramlarını öğretirken kendilerini rahat ve mutlu hissettikleri bulunmuştur. Okul öncesi öğretmenleri okul öncesi eğitim programını astronomi konusunda yetersiz bulsa da büyük bir çoğunluğu bu eksikliği kendi tasarladıkları materyal ve etkinlikler sayesinde giderdiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Bu sonuçlardan yola çıkarak okul öncesi eğitim lisans programında astronomi konu ve kavramlarına daha fazla yer verilmesi önerilebilir. Böylece örnek etkinlikler tasarlanması ve uygulanması öğretmen adaylarına ilerleyen yıllarda meslek hayatlarında fayda sağlayabilir.

Objective. To carry out the retrospective and operative analysis of the epidemiological situation regarding human dirofilariosis in Astrakhan Region for the period from 1951 to 2019.
Materials and methods. Eighty-one epidemiological maps of persons infected with dirofilaria as well as case histories of ambulatory patients of Helminthological Center were analyzed.
Results. In total, during the analyzed period (from 1951 to 2019), 81 local cases of human dirofilariae infection were registered in Astrakhan Region. The largest number of dirofilariasis cases was observed in the late 90s early 2000s 63 % (n = 51). The largest number of dirofilariasis cases was registered in 2000 and 2002 13.6 % (n = 11) and 11.1 % (n = 9), respectively. The age of the patients ranged from 11 months to 78 years. Thus, dirofilariasis was registered mainly in the adult population 84 % (n = 68). Children aged 11 months to 17 years accounted for 16 % (n = 13) of all cases of dirofilariasis. Helminth was localized both in the eye area 44.4 % (n = 36), and out of 55.6 % (n = 45). At extra-ocular localization of the parasite, helminth was localized in the lower extremities 11.1 % (n = 5), in the head 42.2 % (n = 19), in the chest 11.1 % (n = 5), in the abdomen and face 2.2 % for each (n = 1), in the upper extremities 17.8 % (n = 8). In most cases, incorrect diagnoses were made 77.8 %. All the described cases were local patients did not leave Astrakhan Region. The diagnosis of dirofilariasis was made based on the data of the clinical picture, epidemiological history and data from laboratory blood tests.
Conclusions. Thus, the problem of dirofilariasis remains relevant today, as evidenced by new cases of human disease; the main location is the area of the eyelids, orbit and scalp; dirofilariasis was more often observed in women due to the fact that, unlike men, they are more careful about their appearance; characteristic signs of dirofilariosis are hyperemia, edema, pain at the location of helminth as well as the migration of the parasite under the skin; in most cases, incorrect diagnoses are made.

Objective. To study the parasitic contamination of the soil in Astrakhan Region based on the materials of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in Astrakhan Region for 20162020.
Materials and methods. The research work was carried out on the basis of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology of Astrakhan State Medical University of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation, the Sanitary Department of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in Astrakhan Region as well as the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in Astrakhan Region.
Results. In total, during the analyzed period, 4243 soil samples were selected and examined from various places in the territory of Astrakhan Region, 8486 studies were performed. The number of samples, which do not meet sanitary and parasitological standards, was 5.6 % (237 samples). The samples of soil were taken in places, regulated by normative documents, according to instructions of the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in Astrakhan Region including places of crop production (collective farms, state farms, agricultural lands) 1.7 % (71 samples), the zone of industrial enterprises, transport highways, places of application of pesticides and mineral fertilizers 4.7 % (198 samples), the territories of livestock complexes and farms 3.7 % (157 samples), the residential zone (the territory intended for residential, public (public-business) and recreational zones as well as separate parts of engineering and transport infrastructure, other objects, the placement and activity of which does not have an impact requiring special sanitary protection zones) 86.8 % (3682 samples), including the territory of children's institutions and playgrounds (kindergartens, orphanages) 83.5 % (3076 samples) of the number of all the examined selected and investigated samples from the residential zone, places of locations of water sources 0.8 % (36 samples) as well as the territories of other objects of supervision (medical and preventive institutions, beaches, places for development etc.) 2.3 % (99 samples).
Conclusions. Contamination of the soil with eggs and larvae of geohelminths (toxocara eggs and strongylid larvae) indicates contamination of these objects with feces of invaded animals (the role of stray animals (dogs) in soil contamination is not excluded). The contamination of the soil with eggs of ascaris, opisthorchis, oncospheres of teniids and cysts of amoebas suggests that these objects are contaminated with sewage water resulting from accidents.

Published: September 2022

Objective. To conduct a study of cognitive functions in young people (1844 years old) with arterial hypotension, to determine the prognostic significance of arterial hypotension in the development of cognitive impairment.
Materials and methods. A survey in patients aged 1844 years with arterial hypotension was conducted in electronic format using the Google Forms service (Google Forms). The survey involved 100 persons with arterial hypotension, the control group consisted of 50 persons. Data processing was carried out using Microsoft Excel as well as statistical methods were used.
Results. Arterial hypotension is the result of a functional disorder of the nervous system and it leads to some unpleasant symptoms: loss of strength, weakness, lethargy, decreased concentration, memory impairment and many other signs that can reduce the quality of life of people. In general, arterial hypotension does not lead to significant impairment of cognitive functions at a young age, but in such patients, attention, concentration, working memory and speech function get worse to some extent.
Conclusions. Arterial hypotension can be a risk factor for the onset and progression of cognitive disorders, therefore, in all patients with this disease, close attention should be paid to the state of higher mental functions while conducting such simple clinical and psychological studies using cognitive function assessment scales to track dynamics.

Published: September 2022

The liver cirrhosis (LC) is a severe disease, the 11th by the cause of death in the world, 50 % of patients die during 5 years. The most frequent etiological factors are alcoholic disease of the liver and chronic viral hepatitis. The following general pathological mechanisms are involved in LC pathogenesis: hepatocyte damage, endothelial dysfunction, oxidant stress, fibrosis activation, pathological regeneration, neoangiogenesis, architectonic impairment of the organ with the development of portal hypertension. Genetic factors contribute to the progression of the liver pathology. Depending on the LC etiology, there are the features of pathogenesis, clinical picture, morphology, diagnostics, treatment and prognosis for alcoholic liver disease, chronic viral hepatitis, nonalcoholic fat liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary LC, hemochromatosis, Wilson-Konovalov disease, A1-antitripcin deficiency disease. Among rare causes of LC, there are noted Budd-Chiari syndrome, cardiac cirrhosis, Indian childhood cirrhosis.
