Influence of asphaltene polarity on hydrate behaviors in water-in-oil emulsions
Authors: Zhang Dongxu , Huang Qiyu , Wang Wei , Li Rongbin , Li Huiyuan , Zheng Haimin , Zhu Xiangrui , Zhang Xun , Wang Yijie
Published: December 2020

Asphaltene was fractionated into four subfractions with different
polarities, and used to conduct the hydrate formation and dissociation
experiments. It was observed that the more polar fraction could result
in a higher tendency of self-aggregation and fewer asphaltenes adsorbing
at the water-oil interface mainly due to the larger C/H ratio, higher
aromaticity, and shorter length of the alkyl side chain. The nucleation
rate decreased with the presence of asphaltenes, and the induction time
increased with a reduction in asphaltene polarity in water-in-oil
emulsions. The results showed that the formed amount of hydrates were
reduced by the addition of asphaltenes. For the asphaltene containing
emulsions, less hydrate was formed with the presence of a more polar
asphaltene fraction. The presence of asphaltenes was also found to
affect the growth rate of hydrate, which varies with the polarity.
Meanwhile, all four asphaltene fractions were found to promote the
dissociation of hydrate.
Implementation with ex post hidden actions
Authors:   ETH Zurich, Switzerland, Koch Caleb
Published: December 2020

We study implementation in settings where agents take strategic actions that influence preferences over mechanism outcomes and yet are hidden from the mechanism designer. We show that such settings can arise in entry auctions for markets, and that the Vickery-Clarke-Groves mechanism is not necessarily truthful. In this paper we first formalize so-called ex post hidden actions, we then characterize social choice functions that can be implemented in a way that is robust with respect to ex post hidden actions, and finally we propose a mechanism to do so. The model allows agents to have multi-dimensional types and to have quasi-linear utilities in money. We showcase these results by identifying social choice functions that can and cannot be implemented in entry auctions for Cournot competition models.
On a class of linear-state differential games with subgame individually rational and time consistent bargaining solutions
Authors:   Paderborn University, Germany, Hoof Simon
Published: December 2020

We consider n-person pure bargaining games in which the space of feasible payoffs is constructed via a normal form differential game. At the beginning of the game the agents bargain over strategies to be played over an infinite time horizon. An initial cooperative solution (a strategy tuple) is called subgame individually rational (SIR) if it remains individually rational throughout the entire game and time consistent (TC) if renegotiating it at a later time instant yields the original solution. For a class of linear-state differential games we show that any solution which is individually rational at the beginning of the game satisfies SIR and TC if the space of admissible cooperative strategies is restricted to constants. We discuss an application from environmental economics.
Augstuma pieauguma mainība parastās egles (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) Tīraudzēs juvenilā vecumā = Variation of height growth of young pure Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) Stands
Authors:   ,   Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, Jansone Baiba
Published: December 2020

Norway spruce is economically the most important tree species in Northern Europe; therefore, its productivity and vitality have key role in the forest management of this region. Tree height is directly linked to the productivity of the stand and is affected by growing conditions and tree genetics. Height increment in young stands determines the further development of the stand therefore, it is important to evaluate the effect of various factors on tree height growth during this stage and assess the possibilities to improve it with silvicultural measures and tree breeding. This doctoral thesis aims to assess the effect of microenvironmental conditions and genetics on the height increment of Norway spruce at a juvenile age in planted hemiboreal forests in Latvia. The doctoral thesis summarizes seven thematically linked scientific publications, and their results indicate the possibilities for substantial improvement of the growth of Norway spruce at a juvenile age. Tree height is considerably and significantly affected by the type of soil preparation and soil fertilization with wood ash a year before planting or by applying additional fertilizer during the planting process. Furthermore, the effect of these forest management measures lasts for at least the next 10 years. Providing favorable microenvironmental conditions considerably increases the proportion of spruces with lammas shoots, which in turn, increases the total height increment of these trees. A positive feedback loop exists between the presence of apical lammas shoots and the tree height increment, leading to increased tree height in young stands. The occurrence of lammas shoots and the intra-annual development of the height increment is genetically determined. Growth intensity (mm per day) for progenies from open-pollinated families of plus-trees with larger height increment culminated later in the season, had higher growth intensity at the active growth phase and remained high for a longer period.
INDICATIONS OF CONSUMERS’ PROSUMER BEHAVIOUR ON THE FOOD MARKET
Authors: Lemanowicz Marzena
Published: December 2020

The objective of this article was to identify examples of prosumer behaviour in the food market, to examine the degree of customer involvement and to measure the attitudes (opinions) of respondents regarding customer engagement in creation/improvement of a product. The most popular activities undertaken by consumers in the field of prosumption were selected and consumer involvement in various types of marketing campaigns organized by producers was determined. The survey was conducted among 320 respondents. The conducted research indicates consumer activity in the field of prosumption; however, respondents mainly manifest behaviour that do not require them to be very active. Sharing opinions on purchased food products is one of the manifestations of prosumer behaviour and these actions are undertaken with great frequency and willingness. The study also identified consumer participation in creating new products and improving existing ones. Over half of the respondents (64.4%) declared that they participated in these activities, however their participation is rare or very rare. In addition, consumers express positive opinions about the organization of such activities by companies and most of them believe that there are too few such activities on the market.
Zastosowanie modeli logitowych do zdiagnozowania zagrożenia bankructwem przedsiębiorstw
Authors: Lichota Wojciech
Published: December 2020

W artykule zostały zaprezentowane wybrane modele regresji logistycznej, które służą do analizy przedsiębiorstw w zakresie zagrożenia bankructwem jak i zmiany w sytuacji finansowej. Jak wynika z literatury z zakresu finansów do oceny kondycji finansowej przedsiębiorstwa należy zastosować odpowiednie metody. Błędna ocena może przynieść przykre konsekwencje dla przedsiębiorstwa, w postaci podjęcia nietrafionych decyzji przez zarządzających, odmowy udzielenia kredytu bankowego lub niepodjęcia współpracy przez dostawców i odbiorców. Celem artykułu była weryfikacja skuteczności predykcji 12 modeli regresji logistycznej, które pozwalają na dokonanie oceny zagrożenia bankructwem przedsiębiorstwa a także zajęcia stanowiska odnośnie przyszłej kondycji finansowej. Próba badawcza wynosiła 40 przedsiębiorstw, w tym 8 przedsiębiorstw, dla których został złożony wniosek o upadłość. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonych badań, poszczególne modele odznaczają się różną sprawnością ogólną, która wyniosła od 54% do 98%. Ponadto wykazano, że wraz ze wzrostem wskaźników analizy finansowej użytych w konstrukcji funkcji nie zwiększa się sprawność poszczególnych modeli. Autor podsumowuje, że w celu uniknięcia ryzyka przeprowadzenia niewiarygodnej oceny kondycji finansowej przedsiębiorstwa, należy zastosować co najmniej kilka modeli logitowych.
LIQUIDITY TRAP IN THE UNITED STATES, THE EURO AREA AND JAPAN
Authors: Misztal Piotr
Published: December 2020

When a country falls into a liquidity trap it means that its central bank lacks an effective expansionary monetary policy aimed at increasing consumption and investment demand. Market participants (households and enterprises), instead of increasing demand, accumulate a growing money supply in the form of cash. Keynes argued that for an economy in a liquidity trap, the only way to increase demand in the country and to stimulate the economy is to conduct expansionary fiscal policy by increasing government spending or reducing taxes. The aim of the research is to verify the empirical hypothesis of the liquidity trap in three of the largest economies in the world, formerly known as the Global Triad (i.e. the USA, the euro zone and Japan), after the 2008 financial crisis. Research methods based on literature studies in macroeconomics and finance, as well as statistical methods, were used in the study. All statistical data came from the statistical office of the European Union – EUROSTAT, and from the statistical database of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - UNCTADstat.
SOURCES OF FINANCING TASKS FOR PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: FINDINGS IN LIGHT OF THEIR REPORTING
Authors: Pisarska Aleksandra
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study is to recognize the share of self-generated sources of financing for activities of public higher education institutions as part of their general stream of financing. Therefore, the key question that will be answered in this study is: how is the structure of financing sources of a studied institution of higher education formed? In the theoretical section, findings were based on the results of literature research. In turn, in the empirical part, findings were based on the results of a case study supported by observation in a multi-field participating university. The entity's financial statements were also used. On the basis of the research results, the structure of financing sources for the studied public institution of higher education was determined, indicating the possibility of using the entity's financial reporting for this purpose. It was noticed, based on the classification of the sources of financial supply indicated in the literature, that they are heterogeneous – drawn from both the public and private sectors. An increase in the share of funds supplied from the private sector was also revealed. In turn, private sources mainly came from fees related to the teaching process. Private sources also included those from commercialization of research results. The research presented in the study has provided new knowledge about the structure of the financing sources of a public education of higher institution in the context of current conditions for its functioning. In particular, the research helps supplement the existing scarcity of knowledge about the share of self-generated financing for a public higher education institution in the general financing stream of its activities.

Altered diversity of bacterial communities in two Drosophila species under laboratory conditions and lead exposure
Authors: Beribaka Mirjana , Dimkic Ivica , Jelic Mihailo , Stankovic Slavisa , Przulj Novo , Andjelkovic Marko , Stamenkovic-Radak Marina
Published: December 2020

The composition of microbiota affects different traits of Drosophila throughout its life cycle and represents an important part of the adaptive response to environmental changes, such as increased levels of accumulated heavy metals in their habitats. We investigated the effects of lead added to the feeding substrate on the microbiota diversity in the fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila subobscura. We compared the bacterial diversity of wild-caught flies and their progeny reared under standard laboratory conditions. We analyzed the shifts in bacterial diversity in the experimental groups of flies reared for 13 generations on standard and lead(II) acetate (Pb(CH3COO)2), Pb acetate-saturated substrates. Identification of the main bacterial genera was performed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of the V3-V4 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Results indicate significant species-specific differences in bacterial composition between natural and laboratory populations, and between the substrates. Diversity increased in both species under prolonged exposure to lead-polluted substrate, suggesting a potential adaptive response to an environmental stress.
Operating parameter optimization of cell surface hydrophobicity test for ureolytic bacteria
Authors: Sovljanski Olja , Pezo Lato , Tomic Ana , Ranitovic Aleksandra , Cvetkovic Dragoljub , Markov Sinisa
Published: December 2020

As one of the main non-covalent relations in microbiological-based systems, cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) can be observed as a relevant parameter for biodegradation capability and suggested bacterial behaviour and biofilm formation during a bioremediation process. On the other hand, the role of ureolytic bacteria in bioremediation has subsequently led to the examination of this bacterial type in different engineering fields. In order to optimize the operating parameters of microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons test (MATH) for ureolytic bacteria, Box?Behnken experimental design was conducted for five ureolytic bacteria isolated from soils, as well as for the reference strain Sporosarcina pasteurii DSM 33. The optimization was completed with and without the essential substrate for the targeted metabolic reaction, with the aim to compare differences in bacterial hydrophobicity. A vortex time of 2 min, a hydrocarbon volume of 0.5 mL, and a phase separation time of 15 min are recommended as MATH operating parameters for all tested ureolytic bacteria. Although all bacteria are hydrophobic, lower CSH values in the presence of urea were observed for the same bacterium, which could be explained by the interaction of urea with the organic phase of the separation system, as well as a rapid ureolysis process that also occurs during the application of ureolytic bacteria in biotechnology systems.
Cultura, patrimônio e turismo: narrativas e sociabilidades urbanas
Authors: Ribeiro Maria de Fátima Bento , Mello Cláudio Renato de Camargo , Ribeiro Ângela Mara Bento
Published: December 2020

Para pensarmos em relações interdisciplinares entre cultura, patrimônio e turismo no contexto da cidade do século XXI, entendemos como imprescindível uma mudança crítica de valores, comprometida com transformações sociais, de maneira que da associação destes três vetores possam se estabelecer políticas e ferramentas importantes ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste cenário, este artigo tem como objetivo, refletir acerca de como podemos propor metodologias de trabalhar com o acervo histórico e cultural de nossas cidades – e suas relações com o turismo, revelando seus espaços e territórios, tomando como estudo de caso, a cidade de Pelotas, situada no Sul do Brasil e que possui um acervo de “significativo valor histórico, urbanístico e paisagístico”, com ênfase no patrimônio arquitetônico e também uma inegável tradição doceira, que é patrimônio imaterial do Brasil. A metodologia de investigação utilizada é a pesquisa bibliográfica, trazendo as referências dos principais autores que discutem a temática, bem como as atividades e experiências desenvolvidas e vivenciadas pelos autores, no âmbito da produção cultural. A abordagem tem seu foco principal no campo dos estudos culturais, tendo como pano de fundo o contexto da cidade – como categoria da prática social e seus elementos simbólicos – revelados por sua arquitetura e urbanismo e as demais formas de representação e fruição cultural – ilustradas pelos blocos burlescos e pela tradição doceira, entre outros. Como principais resultados, consideramos que as reflexões sobre as tensões entre turismo e patrimônio cultural sejam uma grande contribuição para reflexionarmos sobre novas formas de coexistência entre as estruturas materiais e simbólicas.

Authors: Simonetti Paula , Scavino Sol
Published: December 2020

En este artículo analizamos las limitaciones estructurales y los principales obstáculos que se presentan para mujeres y disidencias en el desarrollo de la profesión musical en Uruguay. Los datos en que nos basamos se apoyan en una caracterización cuantitativa de la situación de mujeres y varones en el mercado laboral uruguayo, extraídos de Censos de Población (1985 y 1996) y Encuestas Continuas de Hogares (2015-2018), en diálogo con datos emergidos del Primer Encuentro de Mujeres y Disidencias de la Música Uruguay (MasMúsicas, 2019). El trabajo busca inscribir el análisis del caso en una reflexión mayor sobre, por un lado, las características específicas del mercado del trabajo artístico, sus condicionamientos estructurales y simbólicos, y por otro lado, la especificidad que la perspectiva de género puede aportar al análisis del trabajo en cultura.
Música gospel na Igreja Verbo da Vida: produção, consumo e a corporalidade dos “ministros de louvor”
Authors: Tavares Anderson Severino de Oliveira
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, abordamos aspectos do movimento gospel, situando a Igreja Verbo da Vida como campo empírico em que observamos suas dinâmicas, bem como analisamos a atuação dos “ministros de louvor” da referida igreja, discutindo aspectos relativos à sua corporalidade. Dentre os aspectos focalizados nesse estudo, destacamos a emergência de um subcampo de produção e circulação da música gospel e a ampliação do consumo da música na esfera religiosa, na qual o estilo musical se constrói como um tipo de entretenimento religioso. Também focamos as dinâmicas corporais nos momentos de “louvor e adoração”. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida utilizando a observação direta nos cultos e eventos, bem como realizando entrevistas não estruturadas e semiestruturada.
As alegorias religiosas de C. S. Lewis nas Crônicas de Nárnia
Authors: Silva Heraldo Aparecido , Oliveira Marcos Francisco De Amorim
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as alegorias religiosas das Crônicas de Nárnia, de C. S. Lewis. Inicialmente, o estudo apresenta uma breve distinção entre as noções de indústria cultural e cultura pop para justificar que as versões literárias e fílmicas da série Nárnia estão situadas no âmbito da cultura pop. Em seguida, o texto apresenta a articulação entre a vida e a obra de Lewis para demonstrar que a jornada pessoal do autor, que transitou do ateísmo à conversão ao cristianismo, refletiu na concepção de sua fábula infanto-juvenil. Finalmente, sustentamos que a experiência de vida cristã transmitida de modo alegórico nos livros e filmes das Crônicas de Nárnia atesta sua longevidade e relevância, além de contemplar as principais características da cultura pop, visto que é inovadora, crítica, arquetípica e provocadora.

Authors: Pinto João Ricardo , Ferreira Nuno Estêvão
Published: December 2020

A relação entre o Estado e a Igreja Católica ao longo do período do Estado Novo atravessou diferentes momentos, especialmente no 3º quartel do século XX, quando se verificaram diferentes tensões no plano das relações institucionais. Para além destas, o texto analisa outros níveis de observação que importa conhecer, nomeadamente, a importância das práticas culturais expressivas associadas à música. Nesse sentido, e partindo do cruzamento do poder do Estado com a presença de temáticas religiosas na música ligeira desenvolvida propositadamente para os festivais de música, este texto procura discutir o papel desta categoria musical como elemento de propaganda religiosana sua interligação com o poder político.
A empregabilidade de pessoas refugiadas e migrantes: o conhecimento de fora para o desenvolvimento de dentro
Authors: Pachioni Miguel Sgarbi
Published: December 2020

O sem precedente deslocamento forçado de pessoas em diversas partes do mundo tem impactado as diferentes sociedades de acolhida em seus aspectos políticos, econômicos, sociais, culturais e legais. Se por um lado os estados receptores se esforçam aprimorar as respostas emergenciais de forma sistêmica devido ao prolongamento das instabilidades nos países de origem, por outro abre-se o potencial de integração local às populações deslocadas que, quando bem feita, amplificam os efeitos positivos para o desenvolvimento local como um todo. Na busca de busca por proteção internacional, da garantia de direitos e de meios dignos de vida, as pessoas refugiadas e migrantes que buscam recomeçar suas vidas em outros países têm, em comum, um anseio prioritário: acesso ao mercado de trabalho formal. Nesta busca, a imediata necessidade da geração de renda no contexto de emergência humanitária frequentemente se sobrepõe à construção e consolidação de sólidas políticas públicas que assegurariam melhores resultados pelo viés da integração de longo prazo, conciliando os conhecimentos e as experiências de quem chega possam contribuir efetivamente para o desenvolvimento das sociedades de acolhida. Para tanto, a articulação institucional entre os setores públicos e privados, mediados pelas agências humanitárias e com contribuições da sociedade civil, facilitaria a promoção de mecanismos efetivos de integração local desta população pois, com acesso ao trabalho formal e facilitação para o empreendedorismo, a economia local se torna mais dinâmica e os resultados corporativos ainda mais eficientes, reduzindo a vulnerabilidade e transformando a desconfiança em ganhos comuns.
Researching visual semiotics online
Authors: Pelkey Jamin
Published: December 2020

Analyzing visual meaning online and curating digitized images are topics of increasing relevance, but many potential methodologies for doing so remain merely implicit, underthematized, or unexplored. The potential for testing and developing semiotic theory through the exploration of visual data online also requires far more careful attention. In response, this paper provides an integrated, reflexive, Peircean account of two case studies featuring research projects focused on visual data drawn primarily from sources online, relying heavily on Google Image Search as a data collection tool. The first study illustrates the comparative analysis of brand mark logos to test and refine a theory of embodied semiotics involving oppositional relations. The second study illustrates the comparative analysis of images depicting the Tibetan Wheel of Life and Yama the monster of death, in order to test the embodied grounding hypothesis for the semiotic square. Issues of hypothesis formation, research parameters, data collection, database construction, operationalization, coding parameters, open data archiving and related issues are addressed in order to further develop and encourage practices of researching visual semiotics online in the context of Digital Humanities scholarship.Keywords: Mixed-methods research. Google Image search. Visual content analysis. Semiotic theory. Semiotic methods. Peircean semiotics.
Terra, mãe universal, rogai por nós: ciclos de morte e vida em poemas de Cora Coralina
Authors: Vespucci Maykol
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho objetiva compreender como se realiza a religiosidade nos versos de Cora Coralina, especialmente nos poemas que podemos perceber um projeto cosmogônico em que a poeta olha para os espaços de seu mundo e encontra neles caminhos que levam à imensidão do universo. Enquanto se move entre o indivíduo e a coletividade, a poética coraliniana reinsere o humano na natureza. Faz isso ao reimaginar a narrativa do Éden. Na gênese do mundo e da vida, a natureza, ao lado do Criador, é divinizada na imagem da mãe-terra. Esta é poetizada por Cora Coralina, não apenas como uma figura do passado, mas também do mundo contemporâneo. Sua reimaginação das narrativas bíblicas propõe também que olhemos para o tempo como expressão de ciclos, uma perspectiva ligada diretamente ao tempo da natureza. A cosmogonia coraliniana, assim, se realiza por nascimentos, mortes e renascimentos. O universo é poetizado por uma visão pascalina em que a vida parece seguir para um momento de retorno ao mundo, não para um momento de passagem final para outro mundo. A poeta escolhe, assim, um caminho que diverge das narrativas bíblicas, que, como aponta Northrop Frye (2002), apresentam começo e fim, indo do Gênesis ao Apocalipse. No processo, a própria ideia de morte é, por fim, escrita de um modo dissonante da cultura ocidental contemporânea, aproximando-se do que Philippe Ariès (2012) entende como a “morte domada”.
Literatura e literalidade: a cristoforia hagiográfica em São Julião Hospitaleiro, de Flaubert e São Cristóvão, de Eça de Queiroz
Authors: Mikail Abud Filho Regis
Published: December 2020

Nossa proposta é investigar a representação da cristoforia em duas narrativas do século 19: a Lenda de São Julião Hospitaleiro, de Gustave Flaubert, e São Cristóvão, de Eça de Queiroz. Por "cristoforia" entendemos o significado etimológico e literal do transporte do Cristo. Ambas lendas hagiográficas reescritas ganham novas implicações de ordem semântica e estética. A imitatio Christi se desdobra tanto no âmbito literário quanto no âmbito moral: lançar, transportar, transladar a palavra do Cristo, em narrativas nas quais o santo por vezes ganha traços de personagem de ficção a partir da “forma simples” que é a lenda. De que maneira tal retomada da narrativa exemplar consistiria em uma subversão da própria vida dos santos ? Partimos de dois topoï (os elementos pagãos e diabólicos bem como o transporte do Cristo e a ascensão ao céu) para indagarmos se, do ponto de vista analítico, a narrativa hagiográfica – cujo objetivo é transmitir um modelo exemplar ao leitor – passa por uma subversão literal e literária através da transferência da lenda à narrativa de ficção.
Por uma filosofia do “fragmento”: A metáfora do “des-astre” em Lévinas e Blanchot
Authors: De Melo Edvaldo Antonio
Published: December 2020

Como a metáfora do des-astre da literatura de Blanchot interroga a ética de Lévinas? No presente texto procuramos responder a esta questão na tentativa de mostrar como a ética e a literatura se articulam em Lévinas e Blanchot revelando o sentido ético do “fragmento” que somos, fragmento que advém do des-astre cujo sentido é explicitado neste texto: em termos blanchotianos trata-se de, com a escritura, mostrar a condição fragmentária do humano e, com Lévinas, trata-se de afirmar que “o reino do céu é ético”, no sentido de que tudo o que tem a ver com o humano é ético e que, mesmo quando somos reduzidos a uma minúscula partícula, ainda sim, no fragmento resta o ético. Deste modo, entendemos que a consciência ocidental, na sua busca por princípios e fundamentos do ser, acabou colocando-se como um astro, e seu des-astre foi não ter considerado (con-sideral) outros lugares de expressão como o da ética e o da escritura literária.
Silêncio e Dignidade na contemporaneidade
Authors: Moure Walter , Genaro Fernando
Published: December 2020

Resumo: O artigo aborda o silêncio e a dignidade humana como facetas do sofrimento ético recorrente na contemporaneidade. Os autores, psicanalistas, refletiram a partir das suas testemunhas na clínica, em especial, sobre uma crônica de um paciente, com valor literário, originada durante o seu processo psicanalítico. Em seguida, buscaram uma articulação dessa problemática privilegiando os escritos inéditos de Lévinas. Para tanto, empregou-se um diálogo entre a crônica e a conferência de Lévinas sobre a palavra e silêncio, numa perspectiva de fazer reverberar considerações sobre a necessidade ética da palavra a ser ouvida, e não capturada pelo ser, assim como questionaram a viabilidade do cuidar em psicologia frente ao sofrimento contemporâneo. Abstract: The article addresses silence and human dignity as facets of contemporary ethical suffering. The authors, psychoanalysts, reflected from their witnesses in the clinic, in particular, about a chronicle of a patient, with literary value, originated during his psychoanalytic process. Then, they sought an articulation of this problem, privileging Lévinas' unpublished writings. To this end, a dialogue was used between the chronicle and Lévinas' conference on the word and silence, with a view to reverberating considerations about the ethical need for the word to be heard, and not captured by the being, just as they questioned the viability of the caring in psychology in the face of contemporary suffering.
Bondade não autorizada: a camuflagem do sagrado em Geni e o Zepelim de Chico Buarque
Authors: Rocha Abdruschin Schaeffer
Published: December 2020

O artigo pretende discutir as marcas do sagrado camuflado na canção Geni e o Zepelim, de Chico Buarque de Hollanda. Denuncia a cultura que privilegia a figura do protagonista e destaca o papel dos coadjuvantes invisibilizados e mundanizados na obra buarqueana. À semelhança de tantas outras canções de Chico Buarque, Geni e o Zepelim se destaca por nos expor ao vigor que deriva da capacidade humana de gritar, interpelar e se rebelar. O artigo explora o conceito de camuflagem do sagrado, especialmente como sugere Mircea Eliade, e o propõe como lente através da qual considera a sacralidade da bondade expressa pela protagonista da canção — virtude que se apresenta timidamente por entre as camadas de estereótipos sociais e religiosos —, normalmente desconsiderada pela religião acostumada às chancelas e autorizações em função de sua profanidade. Parte-se do pressuposto de que o profano é o terreno comum onde os humanos se reconhecem como tais, e para onde devem retornar sempre que o sagrado se torna opressor, para uma vez mais reconstruir o sentido, postular o sagrado libertador.

PENGARUH PEMBERIAN SUPLEMEN TEPUNG TEMULAWAK (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb) TERHADAP KONSUMSI PROTEIN KASAR, KECERNAAN PROTEIN KASAR DAN PRODUKSI PROTEIN SUSU PADA SAPI PERAH LAKTASI
Authors: Setiadi Dedy , Hartanto Rudy , Harjanti Dian Wahyu
Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian suplemen tepung temulawak (Curcuma xanthorriza Roxb) terhadap konsumsi PK dan produksi protein susu sapi perah laktasi. Materi yang digunakan adalah 12 ekor sapi perah Friesian Holstein (FH) dengan pengelompokan berdasarkan produksi susu yang ada di KTT Wahyu Agung, Getasan. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) dengan 2 perlakuan dan 6 kelompok berdasarkan produksi susu. Perlakuan yang diterapkan yaitu T0 = sebagai kontrol, T1 = suplemen temulawak 1% kebutuhan BK. Parameter yang diamati meliputi jumlah konsumsi protein kasar pakan, kecernaan protein kasar dan produksi protein susu. Data dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam taraf signifikan 5%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rataan konsumsi protein kasar T0 sebesar 1,589 kg/ekor/hari, T1 sebesar 1,599 kg/ekor/hari, kecernaan protein kasar T0 sebesar 72,70%, T1 sebesar 75,68% dan produksi protein susu T0 sebesar 0,210 kg/ekor/hari, T1 sebesar 0,205 kg/ekor/hari. Hal tersebut menunjukkan pemberian suplemen tepung temulawak 1% kebutuhan BK tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsumsi protein kasar, kecernaan protein kasar dan produksi protein susu. Kesimpulan penelitian adalah penambahan suplemen temulawak sebanyak 1% kebutuhan BK belum mampu meningkatkan konsumsi protein kasar, kecernaan protein kasar dan produksi protein susu sapi perah laktasi. Kata kunci: Kecernaan, Konsumsi, Protein kasar, Protein susu, Temulawak

Authors: Olszewski Waldemar L , Zaleska Marzanna T , Stelmach Ewa
Published: December 2020

Why do the saphenous vein varices arise? According to our concept this is a process of slow deconstruction of the vein wall by inflammation caused by microbes penetrating plantar skin, colonizing deep tissues, entering veins and sticking to valves, as well as, transported to lymphatics, bringing about damage to their wall and evoking immune response in the inguinal lymph nodes. Venous stasis caused by a variety of hemodynamic factors remains secondary to the primary damage of the vein wall. With respect to ulcer, irrespective of the predisposing factors as venous stasis, colonization of the denuded calf surfaces takes place by bacteria drained from foot skin and also those floating down to calf from the perineum. This set of microbes is responsible for progression of ulcer or its delayed healing. In this study, the numerical phenotypes of varicose veins and ulcer granulation tissue bacteria were presented. The dominant strains in the vein walls were Staph. epidermidis and aureus with Enterococci and Pseudomonas frequent in ulcers. High percentage of Staphylococci both in vein walls and ulcer sensitive to antibiotics may suggest that they originated from the microbiome inhabiting leg tissues prior to the development of varices and ulcer.

Published: December 2020

The article deals with the peculiarities of linguistic and cultural changes of language structure influenced by globalization process within the language contacts’ interaction. The analysis of various aspects in the modern society proves the dominance of the English language in the formation of the world collaboration. According to the research, English hybrid languages or new Englishes, based on the Standard English norms, are forced to adapt to the local linguistic and cultural needs. These hybrid languages perform the mixture of indigenous languages’ structure and Standard English rules, thought in many cases English dominates and replaces phonetic, lexical, syntactic elements of indigenous languages. Much attention in the work is paid to the peculiarities of such hybrid language as Nigerian English, which presents the local language variant, functioning in Nigeria. Owing to language contacts’ cooperation, Nigerian English combines the language features of Standard English rules and Nigerian local languages’ peculiarities.
Appropriation of profits or retention of the team: experimental study of the firm head's behavior
Authors: Karpov Albert L.
Published: December 2020

The article presents an experiment that explores the behavior of a firm in a competitive market. The main problem of the participant in the experiment, as the firm's head, is the choice between individual benefit and collective needs. The first conclusion suggests that information on the contribution of individual workers affects the decision-making on the distribution of total profit. More than a half of the participants refused the individual appropriation of profit and distributed it among other employees. Moreover, a significant part of those who decided to distribute the results within the group was guided by their own ideas about the justness of such distribution. More than half of the participants in the experiment made an egoistic choice: 45.8% of the participants decided to individual appropriate the results of joint work, 11.2% distributed the profit in favor of ineffective participants. 43% of the participants in the experiment made a fair choice. Of these, 34.6% distributed the received profit equally, and 8.4% distributed the profit in proportion to the contribution to the overall result. The second conclusion is that when choosing between maximizing profits and ensuring employment, a large proportion of participants also refused the optimal volume of production and provided an opportunity to work for inefficient excess employees. Such results indicate a significant impact of social and group effects on the market behavior of firms, even in a competitive market. Understanding the impact of these effects can change the perception of firm behavior that was previously thought to be more understandable than consumer behavior.
Analysis of problems in implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of scientific and technical programs of the full innovation cycle

Published: December 2020

The subject of the research is complex scientific and technical programs (CSTP) of the full innovation cycle. The goal is to analyze the problems of implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the CSTP and develop proposals for adjusting the mechanisms for their implementation based on content analysis and comparative analysis methods. The article considers the main CSTP, which is one of the key mechanisms for implementing the Strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the readiness levels of technologies at each stage of the innovation cycle as a key evaluation criterion that characterizes the compliance of a particular technology with the level of its maturity from the idea to mass production (full innovation cycle). There are three groups of problems that make it difficult to implement the CSTP: organizational, motivational, and financial-distributive. Among the organizational problems, there are problems related to the imperfection of regulatory legal acts, in particular, the lack of the concept of CSTP in the Budget code of the Russian Federation, and lack of mechanisms for implementing CSTP at the level of interaction between management entities development and implementation of the CSTP. The analysis of motivational problems considers criteria for evaluating applications in competitive selection and target indicators of project performance for some scientific areas of the CSTP implementation - agro-industrial complex, digital platforms and software products, priority electronic components and radio-electronic equipment, etc. There was analyzed their focus on obtaining a macroeconomic result and compliance with the goals of the CSTP. It is shown financial and distribution problems of CSTP implementation is that the distribution mechanisms of funds for the implementation stages of the CSTP are not based on the success criteria that characterize achievement of the maximum macroeconomic effect of CSTP as a whole. The ideology of sequential transformation of the results of different stages of scientific activity, which are stages of the full innovation cycle, and the assessment of the macroeconomic efficiency of the CSTP, proposed earlier in the authors' works, is not fully applied in the management of programs of the full innovation cycle. To solve the considered problems of implementing the CSTP, there were proposed ways to improve the criteria for evaluating programs at the application stage and indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the CSTP, taking into account the main goal of the CSTP to obtain macroeconomic results.
Legal Realism in Chicherin’s Philosophy of Law
Authors:   All-Russian Non-Governmental Organisation  “Association of Lawyers of Russia”, Gruzdev Vladimir Sergeevich
Published: December 2020

The paper considers the problem of determining the origins of legal realism by the example of the views of the outstanding representative of the Russian philosophy of law B.N. Chicherin as a generalized characteristic of the methods of legal knowledge and legal understanding that are widely used in modern legal thought. Taking into account the varie-ty of meanings and interpretations of the realism of law, the study demonstrates, first, the problem of articulating the central meaning of the principle of realism in the philosophy of law of the XIX century, which is fixed in Russian legal thought, secondly, the author substantiates the thesis that the name “legal realism” is not unambiguous and implies a variety of options for its conceptual design. Analyz-ing Chicherin’s legal views, the paper argues that legal realism in the modern history of political and legal thought is not seen only as the installation of the legal version of the philosophy of pragmatism, with its focus on making meaning based on social facts, but as a direction, articulated the recognition of the reality of law as a spiritual phenomenon.

Authors:   Kursk State Medical University, Konischeva Evgeniya Vasilievna
Published: December 2020

The paper reveals the features of the functioning of the institution of education in the context of transformation, instability and risks of personalization. Modern circumstances confirm the inevitability of planned and coordinated innovative activities of participants in the educational process at all stages in the higher education system. The student must clearly understand the purpose of educational activities, analyze and assess their abilities in obtaining education, understand the degree of individual responsibility to themselves, relatives and society for the learning outcomes. However, the mass character of education and the diversity of levels of basic training, intellectual capabilities, and personality traits create additional difficulties in organizing a personalized educational process. An attempt made in this work to generalize and evaluate such experience will allow us to identify the positive components and identify the risks of personalization in order to minimize them in the future to increase the effectiveness of professional training.
