Authors: Musiyenko Olena , Chopyk Roman , Kizlo Nataliya
Published: December 2021

By measuring the electrical conductivity of different meridians of the human body data can be obtained to demonstrate the meridian energies. Such non-invasive methods are used to stimulate acupuncture points on the meridians. There is a need to confirm the effectiveness of mechanisms of acupuncture for the human body using scientific methods. Measuring the electrical conductivity of different meridians provides indicators for interpretation. The aim of our study is to establish the possibility of using the method of studying the effect of exercise on the body by means of acupuncture diagnostics according to J.Nakatani’s method on the example of static exercise, which is performed similarly to Dhanurasana (outside the bow in Hatha Yoga). Ten female students were examined. Measurements were taken before the exercise, during and after the exercise after 6 minutes. The results of the research showed significant changes in the indicators of electrical activity in the representative points of the meridians of the body. An increase in electrical activity in the meridians of the human body, which are responsible for the functions of the respiratory, cardiovascular systems, kidneys and adrenal glands, gallbladder, small and large intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver and bladder, and its decrease in the meridian of the stomach. The method of acupuncture diagnostics chosen allows determining the electrical activity of the meridians of the human body during static exercise. It is possible to offer use of this technique of research of influence of physical exercises on a human body along with other generally accepted scientific methods.
UNDERSTANDING THE RISK IN THE YOUTH ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Bartosh Olena
Published: December 2021

The formation of modern youth is taking place in the period of socio-political transformations, which directly impact the life orientations of young people, their behaviour, social-economic situation. The factors mtioned above contribute to the spread of risks associated with threats to health and life, uncertainty of life start and self-realization, value and regulatory uncertainty. The purpose of the article: is to study approaches to identifying risk factors that impact the youth environment. Research methods applied: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature (to clarify the key concepts of the study), systematization (in order to identify existing scientific approaches to solving the problem), theoretical generalization (to formulate the final provisions and conclusions). If earlier scientific researches were mainly concentrated within the limits of natural-scientific and economic courses, now the allocation of a separate interdisciplinary direction − riskology is actual. The majority of young people experience the problem of life-start, which has a negative impact on the working career of young people, their family life and lifestyle and makes young people financially dependent on their parents. Globalization has had a significant impact on the development of the risk society. In the context of globalization, traditional social ties are being destroyed; young people avoid traditional restrictions, but at the same time lose a sense of reliability, stability, confidence in the future and feel anxious and afraid of the need to choose. Therefore, public policy should take into account all the factors that have a negative impact on the youth environment and help minimize the risks and form «socially healthy» youth.

Published: December 2021

The article actualizes the problem of introduction blended learning in higher education institutions during the quarantine period caused by the spread of corona virus infection COVID-19. Today, the whole world is in the conditions of strict quarantine measures, and learning in isolation has become a challenge for all participants in the educational process.The authors reveal the essence of the concept "blended learning". It is proved that blended learning is an innovative form of the educational process organization in HEI, a qualitatively new approach that transforms the structure and content of education, changing the traditional roles of a teacher and applicants of higher education. It is noted that blended learning due to its versatility and availability of a wide range of learning tools forms different models. That’s why, to solve the problem of using a certain model in the educational process, the educational opportunities of each of them are considered. In addition, the authors note that blended learning makes it possible to combine digital educational resources with a variety of online services for the implementation of educational activities in higher education institutions. It is concluded that an important aspect of blended learning is the separation of educational material studied in the classroom with that which will be studied in the electronic informative-educational environment. It is also necessary clearly defined the activities that a student will perform, teaching methods in various forms of educational work organization, the system of monitoring, control and self-control. Blended learning combines two important components - knowledge, teacher skills and technological tools that allow you to organize learning at a high level.

Published: December 2021

This article deals with the problem of preventive work with young drug users. This is one of the most important problems in the world, including the USA. Substance misuse can put individual users and others among them at risk of harm. Early substance misuse and substance use disorders are associated with a variety of negative results, including deteriorating relationships, poor school performance, loss of employment, diminished mental health and increases in sickness and death. It is therefore critical to prevent the full spectrum of substance misuse problems in addition to treating those with substance use disorders. The aim of the study is to reveal the peculiarities of preventive work with young drug users in USA. Theoretical research methods have been used in this study: analysis of scientific sources, systematisation and generalisation of available data; defining of the essence of basic concepts; identification of the current state of the problem. The results of investigation give possibility to state that preventing or reducing early substance use initiation, substance misuse and the harms related to misuse requires the implementation of the effective programs and policies that address substance misuse across the lifespan. The effective prevention programs exist in the USA, and if implemented well, they can markedly reduce substance misuse and related threats to the health of population. There are three main categories of prevention interventions: universal, selected and indicated. Universal interventions are aimed at all members of a given population; selective interventions are aimed at a subgroup determined to be at high risk for substance; indicated interventions are targeted to individuals who are already using substance but have not developed a substance use disorder. It is recommended to provide a mix of universal, selective and indicated preventive intervention. Different programs are used for different categories of population. The program «Family Partnership» is focused on children younger than age 5. «The Good Behavior Game» and «Classroom-Centered Intervention» is an universal elementary school-based prevention program. For adolescents aged 10 to 18 programs «Life Skills Training» and «Towards No Drug Abuse» are used. There are also family-based programs («Strengthening Family», «For Parents and Youth»), program for College Students («Brief Alcohol Screening»), Internet-based program («I hear what you are saying») and many others. drug; juvenile; youth; preventive work; rehabilitation; programs of prevention; USA.

The article is dedicated to the research of family representations about childrens’ disabilities. Nowadays, special attention is paid to the targeted social services development and implementation that will correspond to the needs and demands of a certain client group. The relevance of the research is identifying different types of family representations will help to classify families with children with disabilities according to their attitudes towards social change and, accordingly, improve the quality of provided social services. The purpose of the article is to study the characteristics of family representations about childrens’ disabilities and determine their impact on the process of providing social services to families. The method or semantic differential was used to study the content of different types of family representations, which included the study of the attitudes towards childhood illness, disability status, and family. The observation was used to study the characteristics of family behavior in the process of providing social services. The result of the research there were found four types of family representations: «sacrificial», «compensatory», «perspective» and «adaptive». The first type considers himself as a victim of circumstances and tries to attract specialists to his problems, however does not want to take responsibility for it. The second type tries to compensate for all the restrictions, which were caused by disability, and joined all the activities. The third type of representations percepts disability as a normal characteristic of personality, trying to cope with life challenges. The fourth type of representation is highly adapted, though all the restrictions are perceived as a normal thing, which does not cause any problems. Families with each type of representation have different types of interaction with the social worker and act differently during social events.

Published: December 2021

This article is devoted to the problem of alternative education. In modern society we observe really great changes in many fields: policy, economy, communication, international contacts etc. In such conditions the system of education can’t be the same as it was during the last two or three centuries. In response to the establishment of standardized and compulsory education alternative education grew up. The aim of the study is to investigate the development and to reveal the peculiarities of alternative education in the USA. Theoretical research methods have been used in this study: analysis of scientific sources for the: systematisation and generalisation of available data; defining of the essence of basic concepts; identification of the current state of the problem. The results of investigation give possibility to state that alternative school is an establishment with a curriculum and teaching methods that are unusual, nontraditional. Alternative pedagogical approaches may include different structures, as in the open classroom, different teacher-student relationship, as in the free schools and different curricula and teaching methods, as in the Waldorf and Montessori schools. Synonyms for the alternative in this context include non-traditional, non-conventional, non-standardized. In modern times the legal right to provide educational alternatives has become established in many countries. Among them such country as the United States is worth to be mentioned. In the USA a variety of educational alternatives exist at the elementary, secondary and some other levels in four categories: school choice, independent schools, home-based education or home-schooling, self-education. Some schools are based on the pedagogical approaches different from the mainstream pedagogy, while other schools are for gifted students, children with special needs, vulnerable children etc. Alternative schools appeared in the United States more than three centuries ago. They provide special educational conditions for the personal development of each pupil.
THE CONTENT OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN LINGUISTICS AT THE UK UNIVERSITIES
Authors: Lapshyna Olga , Dorofeyeva Olena
Published: December 2021

The current challenges of linguistic globalization have increased the attention of researchers to professional training of specialists in linguistics. A detailed analysis of relevant scientific works on comparative pedagogy has shown that the problem in question in foreign experience, in particular in the UK, has not been sufficiently justified by Ukrainian researchers. Therefore, the article aims to analyze and justify the content of professional training for specialists in linguistics at the UK universities. The following research methods have been used to achieve the above-mentioned aim: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, structural-functional, comparative-pedagogical, exploratory, prognostic. A detailed study of content characteristics of professional training for linguists at the UK universities has proved that both the structurization and selection of training content rely on the competency-based approach, the principles of subject-specific specialization, interdisciplinarity, modularity, electiveness, fundamentalization. The structure of degree programmes consists of compulsory and optional courses, as well as dissertation preparation. Compulsory courses cover the key areas of linguistics (phonetics, phonology, semantics, morphology, syntax, pragmatics). Optional courses are focused on different linguistic fields (neurolinguistics, applied linguistics, cognitive linguistics, communicative linguistics, forensic linguistics). It must be noted that a wide range of optional courses highlights the innovativeness of the UK approach to student autonomy, given that British educators consider students as the full participants in the educational process, who can choose their own path to achieve expected learning outcomes due to the constructive and effective content of degree programmes in linguistics. This article does not disclose all the aspects of the problem in question. Consequently, further research should aim to substantiate the main characteristics of doctoral degree programmes in the field of linguistics at the UK universities.
USE OF TOOLS AND SERVICES OF CLOUD-BASED SYSTEMS IN TEACHERS’ TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: ASPECT OF AUGMENTED REALITY
Authors: Lytvynova Svitlana
Published: December 2021

The article reveals the aspect of using augmented reality (AR) as a means of a cloud-based open education and science system. Research methods: analysis, generalization, systematization of scientific-methodical sources on the research problem, analysis of cloud-based tools and services, determination of theoretical bases of teacher professional development on using cloud-oriented systems of open education and science. In the context of open science, the interest of scientists in the use of ICT during the period of the large-scale COVID-19 pandemic was analyzed and it was found that the number of publications in the areas of use of information and communication technologies, the introduction of distance learning, the development of information and communication and STEM competence has increased rapidly. The survey of lyceums teachers resulted that teachers chose three simple means for organizing distance learning, as well as the direct dependence in the choice of these means – digital analogs of full-time education (Zoom – lesson, Viber – diary, website – school announcements). The author considered the issue of the lack of high-quality digital content and the use of AR-objects, implemented using the MERGE Cube technology, in pedagogical practice. The cloud-based system of using MERGE Cube for learning is described, the stages of using MERGE Cube in the educational process, the criteria for the quality of AR-content (correspondence of virtual additions to the content of the lesson or the topic being studied; sound effects emphasize artistic or other meaning; video fragments demonstrate processes, events or video instructions by content; the process of playing AR objects is simple, intuitive; the process of playing AR is technically stable; the text font is dynamic; 3D images are clear; AR objects are reproduced in various operating systems). The author draws attention to the need to develop instructions and digital maps for the lesson. It was found that the key factor in the spread of AR technology in education is open access to educational content and the development of teachers’ relevant competencies.

Dobrze kontrolowana astma – istota współpracy lekarza z pacjentem
Authors: Kupczyk Maciej
Published: December 2021

Podstawowe cele terapii astmy oskrzelowej obejmują osiągnięcie i utrzymanie dobrej kontroli choroby oraz redukcję ryzyka związanego z zaostrzeniami i upośledzeniem wydolności układu oddechowego, przy jednocześnie jak najmniejszym ryzyku wystąpienia działań niepożądanych wynikających z zastosowanego leczenia. W przypadku braku optymalnej kontroli, mimo zastosowania odpowiedniej terapii, przed rozważeniem zwiększenia dawki leku lub zmiany preparatu w pierwszej kolejności należy sprawdzić poprawność wykonywania inhalacji, a także ocenić stosowanie się chorego do zaleceń, ewentualne narażenie na czynniki zaostrzające przebieg choroby (dym tytoniowy, alergeny, leki), choroby współistniejące pogarszające przebieg astmy oraz poprawność rozpoznania choroby podstawowej. W codziennej praktyce klinicznej najczęstszą przyczyną braku skuteczności zastosowanego leczenia u pacjentów z astmą oskrzelową jest brak compliance lub nieprawidłowa technika inhalacji leku. Zgodnie ze standardami GINA podawanie leku złożonego (glikokortykosteroid wziewny + formoterol w jednym inhalatorze) jako leczenie podtrzymujące i doraźne jest optymalną formą terapii.

Authors: Beltrán-Morillas Ana María , Expósito Francisca
Published: December 2021

COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that affects not only physical health, but also mental well-being. Two variables, which have been observed significantly in people facing difficult and complex situations that are also related to greater personal growth and satisfaction with life, are self-forgiveness and compassion for others. Thus, through a correlational study, we set out to examine how self-forgiveness and compassion are associated with personal growth and life satisfaction in this complicated situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a sample of Spanish participants (N = 329, range from 18 to 83 years), the main results showed that self-forgiveness and compassion were positively related to personal growth and life satisfaction and that self-forgiveness was associated with increased personal growth and life satisfaction through compassion. Ultimately, these findings and their possible implications for therapeutic practice are discussed.

Published: December 2021

La crisis ambiental planetaria y las crisis sociales gestadas en diversos puntos geográficos alrededor del planeta, apuntan directamente al modelo económico global que ha sido incapaz de equilibrar productividad con sustentabilidad y que ha demostrado ser incapaz de cerrar la brecha de pobreza que hunde a numerosos sectores sociales en un estado de indefensión humana. Al ser el Diseño parte del engranaje productivo de las economías globales es inevitable que su accionar metodológico quede en estado de crítica y se le exija asumir responsabilidades que le permitan contribuir al estado de urgencia climática y social. En el siguiente texto nos proponemos realizar una revisión de las metodologías del Diseño basadas en la modelación de usuarios, dentro del marco conceptual dado por el Humanismo digital, que insta a pensar al ser humano desde una perspectiva ciudadana amparada en derechos. Deseamos indagar sobre las implicaciones, dentro de estas metodologías, que supone el pensar al usuario en términos de ciudadano.

Authors: Bogut Agnieszka , Mrozik Patrycja , Czaja Gabriela , Stawecka-Hamerla Malgorzata
Published: December 2021

The increasing significance of enterococci as healthcare-associated pathogens can be linked to their limited susceptibility to antibiotics.

In this study, phenotypic and genotypic resistance profiles of 35 [n=18 E. faecium (Efm); n=17 E. faecalis (Efs)] invasive isolates cultured from hospitalized patients were analysed. Phenotypic identification was verified by the multiplex PCR targeting the 16S rDNA and the ddl genes encoding for the Efs and Efm – specific ligases. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined using the disc diffusion method and E-tests. The high-level streptomycin resistance (HLSR), high-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) and glycopeptide resistance was verified by amplification of the ant(6)-Ia, aac(6’)-Ie-aph(2’’)-Ia, as well as vanA and vanB genes, respectively.

More than 70% of all isolates were cultured from patients in the Intensive Care and Internal Medicine Units. Blood was the predominant (77%) site of isolation. All Efm isolates were resistant to ampicillin, imipenem, and norfloxacin; 17 isolates demonstrated high-level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR), including 27.7% with HLSR, 38.8% with HLGR and 27.7% with both phenotypes. HLAR was also common in Efs (HLSR>70%, HLGR>50%), followed by norfloxacin (64.7%) and ampicillin (11.7%) resistance. The ant(6)-Ia and aac(6’)-Ie-aph(2’’)-Ia genes were detected in >90% of the HLSR and HLGR isolates, respectively. Glycopeptide resistance was detected in 4 (22.2%) Efm isolates and mediated by the vanA gene. 19 (54.3%) isolates were multidrug resistant, including 17 (89.5%) Efm. All isolates were susceptible to linezolid.

The study constitutes a contribution to the analysis of enterococcal antimicrobial resistance in Polish hospitals. The monitoring of enterococcal prevalence and antimicrobial resistance is crucial to control and prevent infections.

Liderança: A Importância de Algo que Não Existe; O Caso Especial das Instituições de Saúde
Authors: Vasconcellos e Sá Jorge
Published: December 2021

Se inserirmos a palavra liderança no google, aparecem mi- lhares de entradas: livros, artigos, ensaios, de tudo um pouco.Contudo em hospitais e outras instituições de saúde o tema é secundarizado, senão minimizado.Médicos? Contratam-se os melhores. Enfermeiros? O mais criteriosamente possível. Outros técnicos? Idem. Gestores? Umas pessoas “simpáticas”, bem-educadas, uns “jeitosos” sem se ter uma noção clara para quê. De quais são em con- creto as suas funções.As razões são dois erros. O primeiro erro é não se saber o que é (e a importância) da gestão. O segundo erro é acreditar que se sabe, mas não se sabe, nomeadamente acreditar que nas “knowledge institutions” (i.é., organizações intensivas em conhecimento) o que conta é o know-how dos cientistas e téc- nicos e não a organização para os fazer mais produtivos. Para facilitar o seu trabalho.Donde as questões: será que a liderança se aplica a insti- tuições de conhecimento (em geral) e de saúde (em particular)? Porquê? E o que é liderança? E porque é que Peter Druck- er, fundador da gestão moderna, dizia simultaneamente que a liderança não existe, mas é fundamental? Como pode isto ser?Comecemos pelo princípio
O ECOSSISTEMA SERGIPANO DE INOVAÇÃO – ATORES E LACUNAS
Authors: Pereira Mattos Felizola Matheus , Machado de Aragão Iracema
Published: December 2021

A inovação é um tema que recebeu muita atenção da academia nos últimos anos, devido intrinsecamente ao aumento da quantidade de projetos dos três setores da economia, fazendo parte da agenda propositiva de Continentes, Países, Regiões, Estados, Microrregiões, Regiões Geográficas Imediatas, Municípios e Distritos brasileiros. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o ecossistema de inovação do estado de Sergipe a partir do confronto da literatura científica e dos resultados da pesquisa empírica. O trabalho qualitativo foi configurado como um estudo de caso, com amostragem não probabilística, por cotas. Como fontes de evidências, foram utilizadas as entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação não participante, análise de documentos, registro em arquivos e artefatos físicos. Para o embasamento teórico, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática do conceito, atores e casos de ecossistema de inovação a partir da análise de publicações na base de dados da Web of Science. Como técnica de pesquisa, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo com o auxílio do software Nvivo 12 licenciado na análise de todo o conteúdo investigado. Como considerações finais, observa-se que não existe, por parte da iniciativa pública, um projeto voltado para o desenvolvimento da inovação no estado de Sergipe. Algumas ações do Caju Valley, SEBRAE, do Movimento Inova Mais Sergipe, Fapitec-SE e do SergipeTec movimentam o ecossistema de inovação, mas observa-se que o estado tem uma estrutura incipiente no tocante ao seu ecossistema de inovação localizada basicamente nas cidades de Aracaju e São Cristóvão, sem conexão com o interior do estado.

Penelitian ini didasari oleh perbankan syariah di Kota Pekanbaru yang saling berupaya dalam memberikan pelayanan yang berkualitas kepada nasabahnya. Namun sebelum itu, penting juga dikaji pengetahuan nasabah pada produk dan fasilitas layanan di perbankan syariah, alasan nasabah memilih bank syariah, serta  alasan nasabah memanfaatkan kedua jenis bank (syariah dan konvensional). Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa masih banyak nasabah bank syariah yang tidak mengetahui tentang produk spesifik bank syariah seperti produk musyarakah, produk mudharabah, produk ijarah, serta jasa rahn. Hasil penelitian juga menemukan bahwa alasan agama merupakan faktor utama bagi nasabah dalam memilih bank syariah. Adapun faktor kemudahan akses untuk ke lebih banyak cabang merupakan alasan utama nasabah memanfaatkan kedua jenis bank. Akhirnya, hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa sebagian besar nasabah bank syariah puas terhadap berbagai macam aspek pelayanan yang diberikan bank syariah, adapun lima aspek pelayanan dengan tingkat kepuasan nasabah tertinggi adalah keramahan staf bank syariah, nama dan citra bank syariah, kecakapan karyawan bank syariah, kerahasiaan data nasabah bank syariah, serta berbagai macam fasilitas yang ditawarkan oleh bank syariah.

Description du sujet. La Côte d’Ivoire a une longue histoire d'utilisation d’espèces exotiques dans les activités de reboisement. Sa stratégie de reboisement a été basée à plus de 70 % sur Tectona grandis L.f., Cedrela odorata L. et Gmelina arborea Roxb. Très peu d’études ont permis de juger ces activités de reboisement sur la base de leur capacité à maintenir une diversité floristique ligneuse issue de la végétation initiale. Objectifs. La présente étude a pour objectif d’analyser l’incidence des plantations forestières à base d’espèces exotiques sur la régénération naturelle des arbres et arbustes dans une des forêts de reboisement. Méthode. La méthodologie d’échantillonnage stratifiée a permis de réaliser des inventaires dans quatre types d’habitat : les monocultures de tecks jeunes et âgées, les plantations plurispécifiques et les reliques forestières. Les individus adultes, les jeunes arbres et jeunes plants ont été dénombrés et leurs diamètres à hauteur de poitrine ont été mesurés. Résultats. Les reliques de forêt sont plus riches et plus diversifiées que les espaces de reboisements aussi bien chez les individus adultes que les jeunes arbres. Pour les jeunes plants, la diversité est similaire entre les différents habitats. Dans les différents habitats, les espèces les plus abondantes et les plus importantes sont exotiques. L’une d’entre elles, Cedrela odorata, a une abondance relativement remarquable dans les reliques forestières. Conclusions. Les tendances constatées dans la recolonisation des surfaces reboisées suggèrent que les nouvelles plantations devraient utiliser, sur les mêmes parcelles, plusieurs espèces exotiques et/ou indigènes pour améliorer la diversité végétale.
Adaptation des formes de financement agricole au changement climatique : cas du warrantage au Bénin
Authors: Egah Janvier
Published: December 2021

Les défis du changement climatique nécessitent des formes de financement agricole adaptées. L’étude a analysé l’adaptabilité des formes de warrantage au changement climatique au Bénin. Les données sur les promoteurs du warrantage, sur les parties prenantes et leurs rôles, sur les difficultés et risques liés au warrantage ainsi que sur leurs relations avec les changements climatiques ont été collectées auprès des acteurs à l’aide d’un guide d’entretien. L’analyse des discours et des contenus a permis de relever les facteurs d’inadéquation du warrantage face au changement climatique. Les acteurs impliqués dans les formes de warrantage sont les institutions financières, les organisations des producteurs et les services d’encadrement de l’État jouant respectivement le rôle de mise en place du crédit, d’établissement du cautionnement solidaire, de la mise en marché et l’appui-conseil en conditionnement des produits warrantés. Les risques climatiques et du marché ne sont pas couverts. Les formes actuelles de warrantage ne sont pas adéquates face au changement climatique. Ainsi, l’adaptation des formes de warrantage au changement climatique nécessite l’implication d’une compagnie d’assurance pour assurer les risques climatiques et d’un service météorologique qui fournira les informations climatiques aux producteurs. Les services de vulgarisation fourniront des appuis-conseils complémentaires sur l’accès aux variétés tolérant la sécheresse.

L’irrigation reste la principale source d’alcalinisation des sols. L’amendement gypse constitue une solution à ce processus de dégradation et d’amélioration de la productivité des cultures. Pour prévenir l’utilisation abusive du gypse en culture maraîchère, l’impact des modes d’apport du gypse a été étudié comparativement à la pratique paysanne (PP) sur un Lixisol dans un dispositif expérimental en split plot. Les traitements ont consisté à (i) modes d’apport du gypse avec deux niveaux : effet résiduel (GrA) et apport continu (GrC) et à (ii) niveau de dégradation du sol avec deux niveaux : moyennement dégradé et fortement dégradé. Les résultats montrent que les modes d’apport ont abaissé le pH de 1,36 unité et 1,51 unité respectivement dans les sols moyennement dégradés et fortement dégradés. La plus forte baisse étant observée avec GrC. Pour la concentration en sodium échangeable, seul GrC a induit une baisse de 54,8 % dans les sols moyennement dégradés. Dans les sols fortement dégradés, il a été abaissé de 87 % et de 76 % respectivement avec GrA et GrC comparativement à PP. Dans les sols fortement dégradés, les rendements obtenus avec GrA et GrC sont de 4 à 3,6 fois ceux de la PP respectivement.

The chemistry of indoor surfaces, and the role of microbes in shaping and responding to that chemistry, are largely unexplored. We found that over one month, people’s presence and activities profoundly reshaped the chemistry of a house. Molecules associated with eating/cooking, bathroom use, and personal care were found throughout the entire house, while molecules associated with medications, outdoor biocides, and microbially-derived compounds were distributed in a location-dependent manner. The house, and its microbial occupants, in turn, also introduced chemical transformations such as oxidation and transformations of foodborne molecules. The awareness of and the ability to observe the molecular changes introduced by people should influence future building designs.
Evaluating Homeownership as the Solution to Wealth Inequality
Authors: Carroll Daniel R. , Cohen-Kristiansen Ross
Published: December 2021

Homeownership presents an opportunity to accumulate wealth, making it an appealing vehicle for reducing wealth inequality. In this Commentary, we explore the investment side of homeownership. The opportunity for leveraged returns can lead to wealth gains among lower-income households; however, we note that homeownership for low-income homeowners carries three types of risk that are higher for them than for high-income homeowners: location, timing, and liquidity. Thus, policies that incentivize purchasing homes to reduce wealth inequality or close racial wealth gaps should be adopted only after great care has been taken to protect against these risks.
Image segmentation and preserve the boundary of the image using b-spline basis

Published: December 2021

This paper focuses the knot insertion in the B-spline collocation matrix, with nonnegative determinants in all n x n sub-matrices. Further by relating the number of zeros in B-spline basis as well as changes (sign changes) in the sequence of its B-spline coefficients. From this relation, we obtained an accurate characterization when interpolation by B-splines correlates with the changes leads uniqueness and this ensures the optimal solution. Simultaneously we computed the knot insertion matrix and B-spline collocation matrix and its sub-matrices having nonnegative determinants. The totality of the knot insertion matrix and B-spline collocation matrix is demonstrated in the concluding section by using the input image and shows that these concepts are fit to apply and reduce the errors through mean square error and PSNR values

Published: December 2021

The article presents a virtual physical space for storage and presentation of digitized Bulgarian cultural, historical and similar sites. The space is realized with the help of integrated technology, including means of artificial intelligence, enhanced with modern technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and CPSS (Cyber-Physical-Social System). The advantages of space compared to the usual approaches for developing this type of systems are discussed. The objects digitized in accordance with the CCO standard (Cataloging Cultural Objects) are stored in a distributed knowledge base, implemented mainly as ontologies. The space provides users with a personal travel guide who is able to understand and fulfill their wishes and preferences.
Visual Arts and Digital Technologies

Published: December 2021

With the advent and dissemination of digital technologies, devices and means in the middle of the twentieth century, dramatic changes occurred in all spheres of life. The data reporting environment is changing and the era of new media is approaching. Digital technologies and the global network have a fundamental impact on culture, traditions and art. In this context, in terms of visual art, digital technologies allow for the emergence of new artistic practices that take their place next to classical art activities. Leading the way is the idea that digital technology is not just a tool, but rather a creation process, thus focusing on the concept inspired by the digital context rather than on the means expressed. In modernity, visual art and scientific achievements live in harmony.
