Authors: Sato dos Santos Yura Yuka , Marques Maricone Lucas , Pereira Palma Bartira , Galatti Larissa Rafaela
Published: September 2021

Os jogos de ataque por conceitos (JAC) visam estimular jogadores a compreenderem o jogo, solucionarem problemas e criarem vantagens sobre o adversário. O objetivo foi aplicar os JAC para o ensino da fase ofensiva do basquetebol no esporte de participação brasileiro, descrevendo as opiniões dos atletas e seu treinador. Participaram oito atletas do sexo masculino (média de 16,8 ± 1,0 anos), com tempo médio de experiência com o basquetebol de 3,0 ± 1,4 anos, com métodos tradicionais de ensino, e um treinador de 32 anos com oito anos de experiência profissional. Elaboramos os JAC a partir dos conceitos: dividir e passar, passar e cortar, e jogo ao poste. Aplicamos oito sessões de treino, com duração de 90 minutos cada. Realizamos entrevista semiestruturada com o treinador e grupos focais com os atletas, analisadas por análise temática. Nos resultados estabelecemos as categorias opiniões positivas (temas: compreensão da lógica do jogo; aspectos pessoais; e aspectos interpessoais), e negativas (temas: confronto com o novo e tempo de implementação do método). Os JAC foram compreendidos como prazerosos e facilitaram a compreensão da lógica do jogo. Concluimos que os JAC podem ser utilizados para ensino do basquetebol no contexto de participação, com vantagens sobre abordagens pedagógicas tradicionais.

Authors: Hamdani Kiki Kusyaeri , Haryati Yati
Published: September 2021

New superior varieties (VUB) are a reliable technological innovation to increase rice productivity. This study aims to determine the yield potential of some lowland rice VUB. The assessment was carried out on land owned by a member of the Sumber Rejeki Farmer Group, Cintaratu Village, Lakbok District, Ciamis Regency at Dry Season II in June-September 2020. The study used a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six varieties of treatment and was repeated ten times. The varieties tested were Inpari 32, Inpari 42, Padjadjaran, Cakrabuana, Inpari IR Nutrizinc, and Siliwangi varieties. The variables observed included the growth component, yield component, and yield component. Data were analyzed using the F test followedby the Duncan Multiple Range Test at the Q=5% level. In addition, a correlation test was conducted between the growth components, yield components, and yields. The results of the study indicated that the new superior rice varieties studied had different performance in growth, number of tillers, yield, and yield components. Inpari 42 variety produced the highest productivity, namely 6.88 ton ha-1 which was supported by the number of grains per panicle, percentage of filled grains per panicle, and percentage of empty grain per panicle which were better than other varieties. Plant height and number of grains per panicle were positively correlated with yield.

Uma interpretação do conflito entre Aquiles e Agamêmnon, no canto I da Ilíada, com o objetivo de analisar a lógica do poder por trás da sequência de incidentes que dão início à cólera (mênis) de Aquiles. A disputa, que começa como um embate entre o poder humano de Agamêmnon e o poder divino de Apolo através de seu sacerdote Crises, acaba por revelar toda uma dinâmica do poder humano e do poder divino, em que a capacidade de destruição, os privilégios sociais e a legitimação do poder se integram à ordem cósmica e política de Zeus.
Digital Revolution During Pandemic: A Case Study From Turkey
Authors: Garipağaoğlu Burçak
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Drawing upon the pandemic experience in Turkey, this case study attempts to broaden our understanding about the pandemic revolution in K-12 private education sector. Focusing on the benefits, burdens, opportunities and threats experienced during the pandemic education, the study’s results are expected to offer some invaluable insights to K-12 educational leaders in private education sector both for the pandemic and post-pandemic education. Method: The data for the study was collected by a semi-structured Zoom interviews from a total of 32 participants consisting of one private school principal, three vice principals, eight department heads, eight teachers, six parents and six students. Data was analyzed through content analysis. Findings: The findings of the study were reported under five main themes: Pandemic revolutions and consequences of those revolutions through the lenses of students, parents, teachers and administrators. Implications for Research and Practice: Findings revealed that despite all the glitches and inconvenience experienced during Covid-19, Covid-19 induced digital revolution is likely to have a lasting impact on education. Despite some overzealous futurists, online education is not for everyone or the substitute of on-site education. Yet, blending the two modes of education in a balanced way (hybrid education) seems to be a viable alternative for tomorrow’s schooling system.
The identity of Plesialges mimus Trouessart, 1919 and taxonomic notes on the feather mite genus Hemialges Trouessart, 1895 (Acariformes: Analgidae)
Authors: Mironov Sergey V.
Published: September 2021

The feather mite Plesialges mimus Trouessart, 1919, briefly described from the White-browed Babbler Pomatostomus superciliosus (Vigors & Horsfield) (Passeriformes: Pomatostomidae), is the only species of the genus Plesialges Trouessart, 1919. In this work, I redescribe this mite species based on the type specimens, transfer it into the genus Hemialges Trouessart, 1895, and provide it with the valid name Hemialges mimus (Trouessart, 1919) comb. n. The genus Plesialges syn. n. is synonymized with the genus Hemialges. A new diagnosis, comments on taxonomy and an updated checklist of species are provided for the genus Hemialges. The transfer of P. mimus to the genus Hemialges created a conflict with the previously named Hemialges mimus Trouessart, 1920 from the Trumpet Manucode, Phonygammus keraudrenii (Lesson & Garnot) (Passeriformes: Paradisaeidae). Hemialges mimus (Trouessart, 1919) comb. n. is now the older homonym within this genus and H. mimus Trouessart, 1920 from the Trumpet Manucode is a junior homonym; here I provide the latter with a new name, Hemialges trouessarti nom. n.
Modelling Frontier Mortality Using Bayesian Generalised Additive Models
Authors: Hilton Jason , Dodd Erengul , Forster Jonathan J. , Smith Peter W.F.
Published: September 2021

Mortality rates differ across countries and years, and the country with the lowest observed mortality has changed over time. However, the classic Science paper by Oeppen and Vaupel (2002) identified a persistent linear trend over time in maximum national life expectancy. In this article, we look to exploit similar regularities in age-specific mortality by considering for any given year a hypothetical mortality ‘frontier’, which we define as the lower limit of the force of mortality at each age across all countries. Change in this frontier reflects incremental advances across the wide range of social, institutional and scientific dimensions that influence mortality. We jointly estimate frontier mortality as well as mortality rates for individual countries. Generalised additive models are used to estimate a smooth set of baseline frontier mortality rates and mortality improvements, and country-level mortality is modelled as a set of smooth, positive deviations from this, forcing the mortality estimates for individual countries to lie above the frontier. This model is fitted to data for a selection of countries from the Human Mortality Database (2019). The efficacy of the model in forecasting over a ten-year horizon is compared to a similar model fitted to each country separately.
Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Portuguese Regional Fertility Rates: A Bayesian Approach for Spatial Clustering of Curves
Authors: Zhang Zhen , Bhattacharjee Arnab , Marques João , Maiti Tapabrata
Published: September 2021

It is important for demographic analyses and policy-making to obtain accurate models of spatial diffusion, so that policy experiments can reflect endogenous spatial spillovers appropriately. Likewise, it is important to obtain accurate estimates and forecasts of demographic variables such as age-specific fertility rates, by regions and over time, as well as the uncertainty associated with such estimation. Here, we consider Bayesian hierarchical models with separable spatio-temporal dependence structure that can be estimated by borrowing strength from neighbouring regions and all years. Further, we do not consider the adjacency structure as a given, but rather as an object of inference. For this purpose, we use the local similarity of temporal patterns by developing a spatial clustering model based on Bayesian nonparametric smoothing techniques. The Bayesian inference provides the uncertainty associated with the clustering configurations that is typically lacking in classical analyses of large data sets in which a unique clustering representation can be insufficient. The proposed model is applied to 16-year data on age-specific fertility rates observed over 28 regions in Portugal, and provides statistical inference on the number of clusters, and local scaling and shrinkage levels. The corresponding central clustering configuration is able to capture spatial diffusion that has key demographic interpretations. Importantly, the exercise aids identification of peripheral regions with poor demographic prospects and development of regional policy for such places.
Optimal Sampling for the Population Coverage Survey of the New Italian Register Based Census
Authors: Righi Paolo , Falorsi Piero Demetrio , Daddi Stefano , Fiorello Epifania , Massoli Pierpaolo , Terribili Marco Dionisio
Published: September 2021

For the first time in 2018 the Italian Institute of Statistics (Istat) implemented the annual Permanent Population Census which relies on the Population Base Register (PBR) and the Population Coverage Survey (PCS). This article provides a general overview of the PCS sampling design, which makes use of the PBR to correct population counts with the extended dual system estimator (Nirel and Glickman 2009). The sample allocation, proven optimal under a set of precision constraints, is based on preliminary estimates of individual probabilities of over-coverage and under-coverage. It defines the expected sample size in terms of individuals, and it oversamples the sub-populations subject to the risk of under/over coverage. Finally, the article introduces a sample selection method, which to the greatest extent possible satisfies the planned allocation of persons in terms of socio-demographic characteristics. Under acceptable assumptions, the article also shows that the sampling strategy enhances the precision of the estimates.
Latent Class Analysis for Estimating an Unknown Population Size – with Application to Censuses
Authors: Baffour Bernard , Brown James J. , Smith Peter W.F.
Published: September 2021

Estimation of the unknown population size using capture-recapture techniques relies on the key assumption that the capture probabilities are homogeneous across individuals in the population. This is usually accomplished via post-stratification by some key covariates believed to influence individual catchability. Another issue that arises in population estimation from data collected from multiple sources is list dependence, where an individual’s catchability on one list is related to that of another list. The earlier models for population estimation heavily relied upon list independence. However, there are methods available that can adjust the population estimates to account for dependence among lists. In this article, we propose the use of latent class analysis through log-linear modelling to estimate the population size in the presence of both heterogeneity and list dependence. The proposed approach is illustrated using data from the 1988 US census dress rehearsal.
Enhancing active living and physical exercise through environmentally friendly policies in urban areas
Authors: Kouthouris Charilaos , Zafeiroudi Aglaia , Georgomanos Sotirios , Kontogianni Evangelia
Published: September 2021

Active living offers a substantial contribution to the mental and physical health of individuals, as well as to community wellbeing and social cohesion. Outdoor and green environments offer additional benefits and determine people’s involvement in physical exercise. Environmental policies put in place by local governments affect citizens’ adoption of active living and physical exercise. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between citizens’ levels of exercise participation in urban open spaces and the provision of exercise-friendly policies by the local authorities. Three hundred and seventy citizens participated in the present study who took part in walking, bicycling, or jogging/ running during their leisure time in urban open spaces and outdoors. Research participants completed the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ; Shephard, 1997) and Environmentally Friendly Exercise Policy Questionnaire (Kontogianni, 2015), which consisted of three scales: “policy to enhance exercise,” “environmentally friendly exercise facilities,” and “intention to change personal habits.” Participants were divided into three different subgroups according to their time exercise scores: high, middle, and low. The results showed the statistically significant differences between time exercise scores and environmentally friendly exercise policy scales. Citizens with higher exercise time participation expressed significantly higher levels on the environmentally friendly exercise policy scales. Citizens’ physical exercise time in urban open spaces and outdoors seemed to affect the creation of corresponding preferences, beliefs, and intentions towards environmentally friendly policies. City leaders, essential decision-makers, and stakeholders are expected to provide an enabling environment, legitimacy, and leadership that fosters the development and implementation of policies that support physical activity and green active living within urban spaces.
The UAE Tour, cycling stars, and Twitter: Tweeting as part of promoting the host country
Authors: Zákravský Jiří
Published: September 2021

Using the example of the 2019 inaugural UAE Tour, this study demonstrates how cycling stars indirectly promote countries hosting globally watched sporting events through their Twitter accounts. This study presents a qualitative and quantitative content analysis of the Twitter activity of selected cycling stars. However, this promotion is only a secondary result of their activity on social media; professional athletes use their Twitter accounts as a platform for self-presentation and to show their daily lives to fans. If the athletes are active on social media, it is almost impossible for them to avoid speaking about the host countries, indirectly evaluate them, and provide information about them to their followers. While sports celebrities’ social media profiles are a limited space for the promotion of host countries, they can also help improve the image of the countries and present them in a positive light. Of course, political leaders use countless public or sports diplomacy tools to promote their countries abroad, and online platforms are not necessarily a key element in the promotion of their international image.

Published: September 2021

The distribution of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L. syn. Cerasus avium Moench.) in natural woodlands of Latvia was studied. The growth, vitality and stem quality of the first-generation plantations established in Latvia in different agricultural soils using the planting stock of local origin was assessed. In woodlands, sweet cherry is found in 11 Forest Resource Monitoring plots in the administrative regions of Madona, Kuldīga, Alsunga, Saldus, Cīrava, and Kazdanga. In the last decade, interest in sweet cherry as a wood producer has increased and plantations with a total area of 21.92 ha were established in 22 localities (Priekule, Kazdanga, Durbe, Talsi, Ventspils, Kuldīga, Tukums, Saldus, Dobele, Bauska, Cēsis, Pārgauja, and Krāslava). Survey was made of sweet cherry plantations established between 1997 and 2019, using both local and foreign origin clonal stock (Danish clone Truust and Swedish clones nos. 9 and 10) in different agricultural soils (typic sod-calcareous soil; sod-podzolic soil; stagnogley sod-podzolic soil) in the districts of Priekule, Kuldīga, Dobele, Bauska, Ķegums, and Smiltene. In plantation forests with optimal growing conditions (typical sod-calcareous soil; pH 6 to 7), 22-year-old sweet cherries of local origin had height (H) of 15.1 m, the diameter at breast hight (DBH) — 16.4 cm and stem volume 157.7 dm3 on average. The maximum H and DBH observed for the largest trees reached 17.6 m and 25.3 cm, respectively. The Danish clone Truust and the Swedish clones nos. 9 and 10 of sweet cherries were promising for growing in Latvian climatic conditions. Selection of perspective clones for establishment of second-generation plantations was made for sweet cherries of local origin.
Nemoralisation of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies Forest Stands in the Hemi-Boreal Zone: A Case Study from Latvia
Authors: Laiviņš Māris , Čekstere Gunta , Kaupe Dārta
Published: September 2021

At the beginning of the 21st century, in extensively managed mature and over-mature conifer stands (Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies) in Latvia, establishment of native deciduous broad-leaved (Acer platanoides, Tilia cordata, Quercus robur and Ulmus laevis), as well as alien broad-leaved species (Acer pseudoplatanus and Tilia platyphyllos) has been observed. The establishment of deciduous broad-leaved species in coniferous stands is a process known as nemoralisation of coniferous stands, which is characterised by a large number of seedlings of broad-leaved species, young trees and the formation of a subcanopy layer in stands. Based on the age measurements of individuals of broad-leaved species trees, the establishment of some individuals into the studied coniferous stands occurred 40–50 years ago — in the 1970s–1980s. However, the predominant age of alien broad-leaved tree species in the study plots was 15–25 years, i.e. the introduction of large numbers of seedlings of these species in the coniferous stands occurred at the end of the 20th century. In this manner, in the final phase of the conifer replacement process, stable, mostly shade tolerant, mixed stands consisting of 3–4 species have formed, in which spruce is often found together with broad-leaved species.
Relevance of Broad-Leaved Forest Stands for Maintaining Epiphytic Bryophyte Species and Functional Trait Diversity in Forest Landscape in Latvia
Authors: Gerra-Inohosa Linda , Strazdiņa Līga
Published: September 2021

Broad-leaved trees play an important role in supporting epiphyte richness in deciduous forests. In this study we tested which broad-leaved forest stands in terms of tree composition best predicted biodiversity in regard to bryophyte species number and their functional traits. The bryoflora was surveyed in 70 stands differing in dominant broad-leaved tree species. One circular plot with diameter 30 meters was established in each stand situated in different parts of Latvia. Fifty-three of the plots were located in stands identified as protected habitats of the European Union. In total, 82 bryophyte species were recorded. At plot level the total number of species ranged between 6 and 38 species. Using principal component analysis (PCA), the ordination axes explained 41% of the variation in composition of bryophytes. The PCA axes were related to tree species composition. The presence of broad-leaved trees, especially ash, lime, and oak, was connected with higher species richness. Generalised linear models confirmed that epiphyte richness, both at the total and indicator species levels, was higher in ash stands. From the functional traits, all expected life-strategy and life-form categories were recorded. The most represented life-forms were smooth mats, tall turfs, and rough mats, while the dominant life-strategy was perennial stayers, followed by competitive perennials and long-lived shuttles. Functional trait richness was highest in Fraxinus excelsior, Tilia cordata, and Quercus robur forest stands.

Texas, Abortion, and State Action
Authors: Lindvall Alexander
Published: September 2021

The Texas Legislature recently passed what the Supreme Court describes as an “unprecedented” statutory scheme. Texas’s new law allows private, everyday citizens to sue anyone who assists a woman in obtaining an abortion after her sixth week of pregnancy. It’s clear that Texas chose this unusual enforcement mechanism to try to circumvent the Constitution’s “state action” requirement. Before a plaintiff can challenge a policy or action on constitutional grounds, they must show that the government somehow had a hand in causing their harm. But this Texas law strips the government of its enforcement power and instead gives it to everyday citizens, thereby allowing the law’s defenders to argue that the law does not trigger constitutional protections.
This short article argues that the courts should have little trouble concluding that this law and its unusual enforcement mechanism amount to state action, meaning this law is subject to normal constitutional scrutiny. The Supreme Court’s decisions in Shelley v. Kraemer, Edmonson v. Leesville Concrete Co., and Terry v. Adams make clear that private parties can be considered state actors, especially when they are working with the express approval of the government and when the courts are required to hand down rulings that seemingly infringe on well-settled constitutional protections. These decisions, among others, show that the private-citizen plaintiffs deputized under this new Texas law must be treated as state actors who are subject to constitutional limitations.

The article shows the design features of tangential cams with a rounded top, provides a method for determining the lifting height and speed of the pusher when the roller is rolling in a straight line and in contact with the actual profile of the cam. The formulas for the kinematic calculation of the tangential cam are refined taking into account the radius of the initial circumference of the shaft, the radius of the rounding of the cam tip and the value of the radius of the pusher roller. Calculations are given to determine the stroke and speed of the pusher when the roller is rolling on the sections of the straight and arc-shaped surface of tangential cams with a radius of rounding of 6 and 10 mm. Formulas are proposed for determining the lift of the pusher in the rolling section of the roller along the radius of the cam tip at a constant coefficient λ = 1 and λ = 1,5. Using the Mathcad program calculations are performed and combined graphs of the pusher lift and the change in its speed are constructed for two types of tangential cams

Published: September 2021

Main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of teachers’ organizational justice perceptions and the political behaviours used by school principals on teachers’ organizational cynicism levels according to the opinions of primary school teachers. Sample of study, designed as a correlational study, consisted of 614 primary school teachers selected via cluster sampling method among 1948 primary school teachers. According to results, organizational cynicism levels of teachers are low. According to teachers’ opinions, the most preferred political influence behaviours of school principals is idealized effect and the least one is pressure. Results show that organizational justice perceptions of teachers are high. Lastly, results of the study indicate that organizational justice perceptions of teachers and their opinions on the idealized effect and pressure behaviours used by school principals predict about %41 of their organizational cynicism levels. While organizational justice perceptions of teachers and idealized effect behaviour used by school principals predict organizational cynicism levels of teachers negatively, pressure behaviour used by school principals predicts it positively. With the scope of these results, some suggestions were made to decrease of organizational cynicism levels of teachers and for further researches.
Psychosocial Challenges in Palliative Care: Bridging the Gaps Using Digital Health
Authors: Sultana Abida , Tasnim Samia , Sharma Rachit , Pawar Priyanka , Bhattcharya Sudip , Hossain Md Mahbub
Published: September 2021

Psychosocial health is a major palliative care concern globally. Patients and caregivers engaged in palliative care may experience deteriorated mental and social health conditions. Global evidence informs a high burden of depression, anxiety, psychological distress and other mental health problems among the palliative care populations. Those challenges aggravate the preexisting palliative care issues, such as lack of access and suboptimal quality of care. Palliative caregiving, both in the institutional and community settings, should be strengthened, incorporating psychosocial support for the patients and their caregivers. The recent advancements in digital health technologies have shown promising impacts in facilitating health communication, decision-making and delivering psychosocial interventions using digital devices and platforms. Adopting evidence-based interventions can help the users to access mental health resources and communicate with each other to promote shared decision-making and management of health problems. Health-care organisations and systems may explore opportunities to advance psychosocial care using digital technologies. Leveraging advanced technologies in palliative caregiving may require multifaceted research exploring potential barriers and opportunities at the user, institutional and systems levels. Nonetheless, palliative care policies and health systems measures should be strengthened to develop and implement digital support systems that may improve psychosocial health and overall palliative care outcome.

Aim. To develop the diagnostic method to determine the likelihood of a specific hereditary kidney disease. Material and methods. KIM-1, TGF-β1, RBP, β2-MG, creatinine, daily proteinuria (Pt) and GFR were determined in 23 patients with hereditary nephritis and 19 patients with tubulopathies. The average age at the time of the study was 13.5 (9-17) years. The ratio of boys/girls (%) was 24:18 (57.1:42.9). Results. The distribution of factors in the groups was considered. Statistically significant differences were found in terms of serum TGF-β1 and daily Pt. According to the results of mono-factor analysis, the factors that confirmed the prognostic significance were selected: urinary β2-MG (OR = 0.892 (0.696-1.175)), serum TGF-β1 (OR = 1.01 (1.002-1.018)) and daily Pt (OR = 25 (1.774-350)). For these factors the threshold values were calculated: urinary β2-MG = 0, serum TGF-β1>280, daily Pt>0.8. The nomogram and classification scheme were built on the basis of the mathematical model for the practical application. Conclusion. As a result of the study, 3 factors were established and 2 from these 3 markers were non-invasive (urinary β2-MG and daily proteinuria). The use of these markers makes possible to diagnose hereditary nephritis in children with high accuracy.

Background. The study of the rate of progression, the identification of the most significant risk factors for the unfavorable course of chronic glomerulopathies (GP) for the implementation of preventive measures is an important research area. Purpose of the study. Development of mathematical models for the short-term prognosis of the progression of primary and secondary chronic GP in children. Material and methods. A comprehensive examination was carried out of 88 patients with secondary, 188 with primary morphologically verified GP, who were under observation in the center of pediatric nephrology and renal replacement therapy "2nd Children’s Hospital" Minsk. Results. Anamnestic, clinical, laboratory, instrumental and morphological data were analyzed with the subsequent determination of the most significant factors associated with progression. Mathematical models have been developed for the short-term prognosis of the progressive course of primary and secondary GP in children. Conclusions. The most significant factors associated with a three-year risk of predicting the progression of primary (impaired renal function at the onset of the disease and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <87 ml/min/1.73 m2) and secondary (perinatal factors of kidney damage, recurrent course of the disease, persistent nephrotic proteinuria, decreased GFR at the onset of the disease) GP in children. With the help of prognostic models, threshold values were calculated and classification schemes were created, which enable to calculate the patient's belonging to the risk group of a progressive course based on the calculation of points for timely correction.
ON THE NEED FOR SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON THE INTRODUCTION OF ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN BELARUS
Authors:   Grodno State Medical University, Grodno, Belarus, Salmina A. V.
Published: September 2021

Background. At present there are no scientifically substantiated data on the problems of introducing assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in the Republic of Belarus. The relevance of developing approaches, organizing opinion polls and processing data on a representative sample of Belarusians does not raise doubts in view of the relationship between social attitudes in the field of reproductive health and the national security of the country. Purpose. Substantiation of medical and sociological study of ART in the population of the Republic of Belarus. Material and methods. The bibliographic analysis included the study of Russian and foreign experience in assessing the sociological aspects of reproductology (materials of Springer Link, Oxford University Press, The New England Journal of Medicine, The British Medical Journal, the SCOPUS database of Elsevier, the EBSCO platform), as well as the analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus in the field of reproductology. Results. In the country, the interests of the party that wants to become a parent (surrogate motherhood, donation) are respected as much as possible. The medicalized approach to the definition of ART methods in Belarus is typical, as in other post-Soviet countries, which are characterized by a classical (nuclear) understanding of the family. Taking into account the current trends in the development of the market for reproductive technologies and those techniques that are used in reproductive centers of the Republic of Belarus, it is necessary in the legislative framework to provide for the rules and possibilities of using such methods as hatching (dissection of the embryo membrane), intracytoplasmic sperm injection, intracytoplasmic sperm injection after selection according to morphological criteria, preimplantation diagnostics. Conclusions. The following areas are relevant for Belarus: 1) study of the awareness of the population of the Republic of Belarus about ART; 2) assessment of social trust in ART on the part of the population; 3) development of technologies for positive reproductive attitudes in society, including the use of ART.
Effect of plasma treatment on the bond of soft denture liner to conventional and high impact acrylic denture materials
Authors: Qanber Lubna  M , Hamad Thekra  I
Published: September 2021

Background: The main drawback of soft lining materials was that they debonded from the denture base after a certain period of usage. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of oxygen and argon plasma treatment on the shear bonding strength of soft liners to two different kinds of denture base materials: conventional acrylic resin and high impact acrylic resin. Materials and Methods: Heat cure conventional and high impact acrylic blocks (40 for each group) were prepared. A soft liner connected the final test specimen of two blocks of each acrylic material. Shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed using universal testing machine. Additional blocks were also prepared for analyzing Vickers microhardness, contact angle, FTIR and AFM. The results were statistically analyzed using paired-sample T-test and independent-samples T-test (Î±=0.05). Results: The results showed a highly significant increase in SBS following plasma treatment with the highest mean value observed in plasma treated high impact acrylic specimen. Along with a significant rise in wettability, while microhardness was preserved. Conclusion: In conclusion, oxygen and argon plasma treatment was significantly effective in enhancing the SBS between soft liner and acrylic materials.
Convivência entre as pessoas que vivem a deficiência de maneiras diferentes a Pedagogia da Cooperação para venSer juntos

Este livro propõe facilitar a convivência entre pessoas que vivem e não vivem a deficiência (isto é, que vivem a deficiência de maneiras diferentes) com a criação de espaços de conexão, identificação das necessidades de pertencimento, reconhecimento das potencialidades existentes entre as pessoas; construção de soluções criativas para “Com-Vivência” e sensibilização sobre a importância do senso de “Comum-Unidade”. Para contextualizar esta pesquisa, é preciso que se entenda que ela advém da convivência, da deficiência, da inclusão social e da Pedagogia da Cooperação. Os dados foram coletados mediante a aplicação das 7 práticas da Pedagogia da Cooperação. Para isso, foi realizado um encontro entre pessoas que vivem e não vivem a deficiência, durante a Semana de Extensão Universitária na Faculdade de Ciência da Informação na Universidade de Brasília (FCI/UnB), investigando as barreiras comunicacionais de interação e envolvimento social para propor caminhos de coexistência. Os resultados mostraram a importância de ter um ambiente preparado, de modo a promover o Com-Tato; de elaborar e cuidar do Com-Trato. Na realização do Com-Trato, surgiram pedidos, tais como: olhar nos olhos, respeitar as diferenças, ouvir com atenção, estar aberto, incentivar a liberdade, trazer experiências pessoais, lanchar todo dia, dançar, trabalhar a respiração por 1 minuto, e abraçar, pelo menos, 3 pessoas por encontro. Ao aplicar as 7 práticas da Pedagogia da Cooperação, foram compartilhadas as In-Quietas-Ações na forma de perguntas provocativas e investigativas; foram fortalecidas alianças e parcerias com o apoio da comunicação não-violenta (CNV); foram realizados exercícios e jogos para incentivar os participantes a colocarem-se no lugar uns dos outros; os participantes elaboraram seus mapas de competências; e as soluções comuns do grupo foram reunidas. Celebramos a realização do projeto que culminou no Manifesto. Os itens do manifesto foram elaborados com base no mapa de competências e inquietações dos participantes. O manifesto propõe facilitar a convivência entre pessoas que vivem a deficiência de formas diferentes. Foram observadas a unidade e a empatia entre os participantes do grupo, o que ilustra a importância da convivência e do cuidado um com o outro.
