Published: September 2021

Aim. Presented study deals with the cultural dimension. It analyses external and internal human activities, that are creating the polarity develop values. The aim of the study is to clarify and connect the theoretical level of thinking with the reality of life practice, which shows the true meaning of human existence.
Concept. The study highlights the importance of human thinking and decision making. Through the actions, one develops and creates the values of human dignity. The study focuses on the importance of two dimensions (horizontal and vertical dimensions of man), the relationship of man to God. Human culture includes behavior that can be learned and is shaped by the environment in which one lives. This contribution is  to clarify a culture of thinking that is a reflection of the soul of human being. Since culture is not only a matter of individual dispositions but also of social reality, it is right to underline this dual aspect of the plurality dimension (Binetti et al., 2021).
            Conclusion. The study identifies a fundamental aspect of the culture's values, which show the potential of the soul of every human being. Human values influence thinking and actions of human being, thus creating the image of God.
The Analysis of Students’ Opinions about the Social Responsibility Of Ukrainian Universities
Authors: Tryma Kateryna
Published: September 2021

Aim. The paper is aimed to investigate the students’ opinion about the social responsibility carried out by higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ukraine. Nowadays social responsibility has become one of the key characteristics of modern HEIs. Ukrainian universities are trying to become 'civic universities', i.e., institutions which contribute to the development of the local community. The students, as key stakeholders of the university activities, also take part in this process.
Methods. To investigate the social responsibility of the Ukrainian HEIs, the case study method is used in the present paper: the case of Mariupol State University and its social functions within the city are highlighted. The online survey was applied to investigate the level of students’ awareness of the university social functions and the role played by the university in the local community. Materials published by the university and the results of the survey have been analysed to test the hypothesis that students consider Mariupol State University to be a socially responsible university which cooperates with the local community.
Results. The students’ opinion on the social functions carried out by Mariupol State University is that this local university has strong ties with the local community and authorities and perform its social mission. However, the social functions of the university, according to the students, are limited by teaching and research activities. Few students consider social responsibility of the university in a wider context.
Conclusion. On the example of the MSU the paper shows that modern universities in Ukraine perform social functions and try to become truly civic universities to contribute to the development of the local communities in cooperation with different stakeholders. Nevertheless, students as a key stakeholder of the university activities still consider social responsibility of the university primarily aimed at teaching and research.

Published: September 2021

Aim. The present study is focused on exploring of the relationship between spirituality and irrational beliefs particularly in relation to movement activities in Slovakia and Czechia, i.e., helplessness, idealisation, perfectionism, external vulnerability, and negative expectation. 
Concept. Our research has been focused on the investigation, comparison, and correlation between the level of spirituality and irrational beliefs depending on the frequency of sport activities. 
Method. The research sample (N = 469) consisted of Slovak and Czech health population aged 18-70 (M = 41.97, SD = 13.14), of which 42.2% were men (N = 198) and 57.8% were women (N = 271). The level of spirituality was identified by means of the Expressions of Spiritual Inventory-Revised – ESI-R (MacDonald, 2000). The irrational beliefs were measured using the Scale of Irrational Beliefs (Kondáš & Kordáčová, 2000). 
Results. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables of spirituality and irrational beliefs based on the frequency of sports activities. Also, we confirmed the hypothesis of negative correlation between spirituality and irrational beliefs. 
Conclusion. In our study, we focused on the correlations between irrational beliefs and spirituality in group of Slovak and Czech population. Based on our results we can draw several conclusions. Research results confirmed the differences between the variables of spirituality and irrational beliefs based on frequency of sports activities.
CROSS-CULTURAL TRANSITION CARE IN LITHUANIAN SCHOOLS: SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS' PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Chu Lingyi , Ziaunienė Ruta
Published: September 2021

Aim. The study aims to enrich an understanding of how Lithuanian school psychologists perceive the cross-cultural transitional care in the bridging role they are made to play in their schooling contexts in supporting Cross-Culture Kids (CCK). 
Methods. The article presents research findings of surveying 200 school psychologists from Lithuania on current practices and challenges Lithuanian schools face in working with CCKs and developing effective and comprehensive school-based Cross-Cultural Transition Care Programmes (CCTCP). 
Results. The analysis shows that Lithuanian school psychologists are unfamiliar with CCK concepts and do not feel prepared to deliver CCTC service to migrant pupils and families or CCTC training to their peer teacher and school administration. Issues surrounding migrant integration are alien to many, and many see it as irrelevant to their school contexts, regardless of governmental attempts to integrate returning Lithuanian emigrants in recent years. 
Conclusion. The study shows that cross-cultural dialogues—and thus care support—yet need to find space in Lithuanian schools. Through systematic reconsideration, institutions providing educational support and training to key school actors, such as school psychologists, can be better supported. More approachable forms of implementable resources will allow space for schools to negotiate the extent and speed of their involvement, and also provide an arena for cross-cultural narratives and integration care, as they see fit best in their context.
VALUE-BASED TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
Authors: Prahaladaiah Diwakar
Published: September 2021

Aim. "The ultimate aim became the realisation of the political ideas of democracy, equality, and social justice" (Orlenius, 2001; Svingby, 1994,p. 57). The current study aimed to explore the concept of value education at Poornaprajna institutions that have adopted value education in their curriculum.
Methods.The study was designed in a qualitative exploratory research approach. The researcher had adopted the interviews for a case study as a microscopic social study through observation and also studied the archival records in Poornaprajna institutions. The informal group interviews were administered as part of a qualitative research approach, and it aimed to collect data from twenty eight English teachers and students of Poornaprajna institutions.
Result. The validity and trustworthiness of the study were established by adopting Miles and Hubeman's formula, and it is 0.91. The exploration and findings revealed the need and implication of value education in the present scenario. Furthermore, the data analysis revealed that value education is a process that begins at home and continues in society, and further, it continues in formal educational institutions.
Conclusion. The study envisions that the educational institutions must integrate the curriculum with value education so that students’ cultural worlds, meanings they attribute to behaviour, events which essentially lead to the developmental process of the society. The National Education Policy 2019, aims to universalise education in India by 2025, and it also aims at inter- and multidisciplinary approaches in Indian education. The present study juxtaposes an interdisciplinary approach to English and value education.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AWARENESS AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ISSUE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DIGITAL PUBLIC RELATIONS AND ONLINE EVENTS
Authors: Tozlu Öztay Emel
Published: September 2021

Aim: Since Covid 19 – social isolation process started, 131 femicides and 95 suspicious deaths occurred from April to August 2020 in Turkey. In this context, it can be construed that digital public relations and online event managements have become increasingly crucial in terms of improved social awareness. The research objective is to implement a scale, which has been developed for digital public relations, online events and awareness concepts, on persons who participated in 7 different Webinars themed on women and violence, hence to put forward the power of creating any behavioral change in awareness extent of online events in the scope of digital public relations.
Methods: For this research study, a scale has been devised based on the online event model designed as per digital public relations. In this context, the survey method, one of the quantitative research method, has been used. The Cronbach Alpha measure and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin statistic have been used in order to test reliability and adequacy of the survey, respectively, thus the reliability-adequacy measures have been determined.
Results: Research findings reveal that the higher online event driven awareness is the more behavioral changes are in digital public relations; that women, when compared to men, are more responsive to digital public relations applications, and have a better level of awareness by comparison; that 18-25 age group is more responsive with better level of awareness to digital public relations applications when compared to 26-33 age group; and that parents’ educational background makes no difference in this.
Conclusions: In light of the research findings, it can be seen that digital public relations applications help to create awareness in terms of online events, and also pave the way for behavioral changes. In this context, it needs highlighting that digital public relations applications should be further improved in particular matters such as violence against women in which creating awareness is crucial.
Re-voicing the unheard
Authors: Alves Moreira Ana I. , Jakobi Antonia L. P.
Published: September 2021

Aim. This study aims to explore and analyse qualitative research on refugee and asylum-seeker interventions for social inclusion that engages a creative, arts-based community approach.
Method. The article describes a meta-study towards discovering meta-theory, meta-methods, and meta-findings across articles on the subject. For this purpose, a broad database search was conducted, which resulted in a total of 7 articles after filtering according to the previously defined exclusion criteria. These articles were analysed by two independent researchers and later reviewed by two independent evaluators.
Results and conclusion. There was an overarching lack of definitions and distinction of and for the terms refugee, migrant and asylum-seeker. A similar problem could also be found regarding social inclusion and integration which were, at times, used interchangeably. Additionally, the majority of the studies opted for an ethnographic approach despite choosing different methods within the said approach. Concerning the meta findings, three main themes emerged across research: space of expression and confidence; transformation process to agency and citizenship; and exchange and dialogue between the host community and arrivals. These themes were discussed and reflected upon, and limitations were pointed out.
Originality. Having identified the lack of refugee and asylum-seeker voices within migration studies, this article sets out to counteract this issue by having included only those articles that provided space for refugee and asylum-seeking individuals to speak up, thereby authentically understanding arts-based social inclusion interventions from a new and neglected angle.
Scrutinizing Algerian EFL students’ challenges in research teaching and writing
Authors: Hamzaoui Chahrazed
Published: September 2021

Writing to report research writing may be a daunting task since it requires motivation, interest, background knowledge and hard work from the part of students. This paper focused on the major obstacles faced by the English foreign language learners in research writing at Belhadj Bouchaib University, Algeria, in addition to the teachers’ attitudes towards their students’ work. The study relied on a triangulated approach which enclosed quantitative and qualitative methods and its importance lied in providing insights into the nature of flaws and challenges as regards students’ academic writing practices. A questionnaire was used among 30 students followed by an interview with six teachers. The findings revealed that developing a research project and reporting the findings were among the most difficult challenges encountered by the learners. While the former requires them to identify the area of interest, choose a topic and formulate a researchable problem, the latter typically entails writing the methodology, results, and discussion sections. Between the two tasks, the students found academic writing the most challenging. The findings also revealed that teachers display negative attitudes towards their students’ research because of these reasons: lack of motivation following traditional methods of learning, insufficient background knowledge about research, paucity of library resources, sketchy number of courses related to research, and the unavailability of the Internet inside the university context. Following these flaws, some recommendations were provided.

The subjective (mental) space (MS) is specified as a particular area of research. The issue of its operationalization and measurement are put forward. A mathematical prototype of MS has been proposed. In a simplified form, the mathematical space conceives of as Euclidean, metric, and linear. It extends to the MS. The operationalization of its measurements consisted in the construction of the "Where I am" questionnaire (WIQ). Three main properties of the WIQ were as follows. First, physical descriptions of space were in use as metaphors for the MS. Second, 4 scales, namely, “height,” “width,” “length,” and “volume,” specified the WIQ. Third, a procedure like a semantic differential administered the WIQ’s items to participants. Raw data were gathered from a sample consisting 177 students, men and women aged from 17 to 26. Participants expressed the degree of agreement with each item of the WIQ on the seven point grade ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". Ultimately, the WIQ consisted of 36 items, namely, 9 items per the scale “height,” 9 items per the scale “width,” 7 items per the scale “length,” and 11 items per the scale “volume.” Descriptive statistics included means, standard deviations, chi square to define normality of variables, t test to as-sess differences between men and women. Psychometric reliability of the WIQ was estimated by intercorrelations of items in scales, Cronbach's alpha, omega, split half reliability, re test, as well as the WIQ’s discrimination. Exploratory factor analysis provided an estimation of the WIQ’s construct validity. Internal convergent and discriminant validity of the WIQ was gained by comparisons of items’ correlations with ‘own’ and ‘others’ scales. Contrast groups on creative thinking and intelligence computed external criterion validity of the WIQ by 1 way ANOVA. Obtained data were as follows. Extraction to specify the WIQ on above scales was psychometrically justified. The WIQ showed good measures of reliability. The WIQ yielded a 3 factorized structure as most evident of its construct validity and consistent with expected theoretical suggestions, despite of items of the scales “width” and “volume” entered the same factor. Findings maintained significant internal convergent and discriminant validity of the WIQ. It possessed either external criterion validity Creative fluency, originality, and fluid intelligence produced significant effects on the WIQ’s scales. Thus, the WIQ can be reasonable in scientific and applied studies.

The aim of online learning is to help forward the individualization of educational practices and self-determination of a student. From the technological point of view, it is supposed to reduce the costs on the teacher’s presence in educational process (it is not a teacher but a plat-form which holds the knowledge) and to increase investments in the student’s presence (a student completes the given knowledge with his own senses, motives, values and creativity). An important phase of educational process is rating. According to the trend of “high technolo-gies” (technologies that minimize the human presence in management) we may say that there is also a trend to increase the level of rating. In online learning environment we rate not only the results and actions of a student, but also the level of his abilities or competence and the means of rating authenticity. The article discusses the data received on using the “Self-attestation practice” online course. It is a means of final assessment for students who complete the BA in psychology. By the way of variance analysis, we verified the hypothesis that the high level of abstract thinking, high coefficient of categorization, high level of creativity, field independence and reflexivity on cognitive styles are favor for intellectual productivity in scientific, research and creative areas. A measured set of level characteristics for intellectual products is transformed into a com-plex of observed language qualities. The high level of abstract thinking is demonstrated in speech coherence, in discourse consistency. The high coefficient of categorization is demon-strated in the ability to interpret texts into different languages and scales. High creativity level can be seen in making preference for difficult, challenging creative tasks. Field independence and reflexivity is demonstrated in the ability to make an individual educational track. These characteristics are markers of successful study, including online education. They allow us esti-mating each student’s involvement into professional studies and defining the levels of intellectual success, predicting the model of individual learning environment (individual learning track).
Psychosemantic Aspects of Family Microculture
Authors:   Moscow Pedagogical State University (Moscow, Russia), Sapogova E.E. , Gorelkina M.A. ,   Moscow Pedagogical State University (Moscow, Russia)
Published: September 2021

In the framework of the existential-narrative approach developed by the authors, the ideas about the family as a special microcultural system are defined. Family microculture is con-sidered as a psychosemantic reality built up during the family formation, reproducing itself in history and generating a figurative and cognitive model of self-perception, behavior and lifespan for each of the family members. This is a form of family subjectivity, which appears as a result of the particular psychological way of life that has developed over the course of cooperative existence of several family generations and provides for intrafamily psychologi-cal similarity. Family microculture transmits an assimilated and concentrated in texts experi-ence to a growing subject. This experience is generally suitable for a number of situations that the family considers significant and that can potentially occur on a person’s life path. The subject interiorizes this experience not so much as a role model and reproduction, but as a general modus, as the logic of behavior, hidden in everyday life and approved by the micro-social environment. The presented analysis of the content of family microculture allows us to understand it as a special precedential psychosemantic reality. Intra-family psychosemantics often appears in the consciousness of a developing person as a “pre-life-experienced” sample, which subsequently determines the choice and perception of other images, units, texts, espe-cially when a person has no individual experience with the realities which they describe. The authors propose a structure and content model of family microculture, in which four clusters are distinguished: “Family rituals and traditions” (contributes to the establishment of basic patterns and models of human interaction with the surrounding reality and corresponds to the behavioral part of the developing “Self-concept”), “Family and genealogical connections” (determines the formation of figurative and cognitive self-representations in the context of other family members existence and the family as a whole, experiences of intrafamily affinity and psychological similarity), “Spatial and material milieu of a family” (identifies relation-ships between family members through artefacts and the organization of home space, builds semantic-symbolic connections of a man and his family genealogy, influencing his emotional sphere and value orientations) and “Family Narratives” (concentrated on the value-semantic and motivational components of the “Self-concept”, facilitating individuation and promoting the subject’s adaptation to reality). Each of the clusters is presented in four dimensions: 1) its specific function in the family microculture; 2) its psychosemantic content; 3) action and/or material “carriers” of this content; 4) “points of application” - socializing potentials that fix certain semantics in the personal autobiographical memory.
“Anxious Assessment of Prospects” and Psychological Well-Being of Gifted Adolescents

Published: September 2021

The article addresses subjective factors of psychological well-being of gifted adolescents. This work was focused on the relationship between psychological well-being of gifted adoles-cents and their anxiety level in assessment of future prospects. To achieve this goal, we used the Integrative test of anxiety, which approaches anxiety as a multidimensional mental phenomenon, and the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being, which has an integral scale of psychological well-being, as well as six subscales aimed at studying its structure. The study involved 422 adolescents aged 15-17 who passed the expert selection for spe-cialized educational programs in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod. To compare the data, we used the results of a control group survey that consisted of adolescents with standard level of abilities enrolled in secondary schools in St. Petersburg and Smolensk. The results of this study suggest that anxious assessment of prospects, as a structural component of anxiety, in gifted adolescents and adolescents with standard level of abilities has a common trend: an increase in anxiety in predicting the possibility of an unfavorable outcome is associated with a decrease in psychological well-being. In gifted adolescents, it is associated with a decrease in the sense of self-acceptance, autonomy and competence. At the same time, an increase in anxious assessment of prospects (in the range of standard values) in gifted adolescents is associated with an increase in personal growth - a desire to cognize and improve oneself and one's own behavior, to realize one's own potential and increase one's effectiveness. In gifted adolescents, the values of the scale "Anxious assessment of prospects" were much more variable than in the control group, while the highest values on this scale were found in adolescents with intellectual giftedness and the smallest - in adolescents with sports giftedness. The obtained results might be applied in primary prevention of the gifted teenagers’ maladaptation during age and social crises, as well as in secondary prevention, when rates of overall anxiety and its structural components can serve as markers of early (latent) maladjustment phases.

The paper presents data from the examination of 54 patients with combined mental pa-thology. The main group (MG) included 27 patients with comorbid recurrent affective and panic disorders. Patients (27 people) in the control group (CG) were diagnosed with inde-pendent affective disorder. The clinical and psychological parameters of the patients’ personal sphere in the main and control groups were studied and analyzed. The trait profile of patients with MG is represented by disharmonious manifestations and significant peak rise in the scales: “hypochondria”, “depression” and “psychasthenia”. According to the analysis conducted, the following personality characteristics were marked in patients with a combined variant of recurrent affective and panic disorders: inert thinking style, insecurity, high sensitivity, impressionability, dependence on the surroundig people’s opinion, suspiciousness, caution, discretion, high moral exactingness towards oneself and others, conscientiousness, comfort and diligence, unsociability, secrecy and isolation. Besides, the relationship between personal characteristics and choice of protective and coping behavior in patients MG and CG was determined as part of the study. To reduce the discomfort caused by a stressful situation, the patients with MG used the following coping mechanisms: “escape-avoidance” and “acceptance of commitment”. In order to resolve inner experiences patients with a combined variant of recurrent affective and panic disorders use destructive mechanisms of personality psychological defense by the type “denial”, “suppression”, “regression” and “compensation”. As part of the study conducted, the main psychocorrective targets were identified, includ-ing the components of defensive-coping patients’ behavior that showed manifestations of recurrent affective and panic disorders. The results obtained can be taken into account when developing a psychotherapeutic program aimed at harmonizing the personal profile of pa-tients. In the course of psychotherapeutic correction, it is advisable to use methods of the cognitive-behavioral direction, relaxation techniques and breathing exercises. The obtained results can be taken into account when developing a psychotherapeutic pro-gram aimed at harmonization of the patients’ personal profile. In the course of psychothera-peutic correction, the use of cognitive-behavioral methods, relaxation techniques and breathing exercises is advisable.
Crisis of the First Year and Its Manifestations Due to Family Interaction
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Vasilenko V.E. , Natalenko Y.V. ,   Academy of Development and Leisure "Daughters-sons"
Published: September 2021

The study involved 117 people from 43 families of Saint-Petersburg. Among them there were 31 triads “mother – father -child” and 12 dyads “mother - child”, i.e. 43 children (20 boys and 23 girls), 43 mothers and 31 fathers. The age of children differed from 10 months to 2 years. The sample was divided into 2 age groups: from 10 months to 1 year 6 months; and from 1 year 7 months to 2 years. The methods we used were the following: “Manifestations of the crisis of the first year” questionnaire by V. Vasilenko, “Child and parent emotional interaction” questionnaire by E. Zakharova, Maternal postnatal attachment scale by J. Condon, Parental Attitude Research Instrument (РARI) by E.S. Schaefer & R.Q. Bell, Test of marriage satisfaction by Y.E. Aleshina, L.Y. Gozman, E.M. Dubovskaya. The study revealed that constructive formations of the crisis prevail over negativistic manifestations; the main formation is autonomous child speech. The postcritical phase has not been identified. The data in general show the well-being in the child and parent emotional interaction, the high maternal attachment to children, and prevalence of attitudes towards optimal emotional contact with the child and the high level of marriage satisfaction. At the same time we revealed reduced indicators of ability to perceive the child's state (29% mothers and 48% fathers), understand what causes the child’s state (26% mothers and 39% fathers), influence to the child's state (29% mothers and 26% fathers). Constructive formations of the crisis are positively correlated with the sensitivity of the mother, the maturity of her behavioral manifestations in interaction and negatively correlated with positive feelings in interaction and emotional acceptance from fathers, as well as with the maternal attitudes to excessive concentration on the child. Negativistic manifestations of the crisis are less pronounced in the case of mother’s ability to influence to the child’s state, to support him, the child’s emotional acceptance and mother’s marriage satisfaction, and more pronounced in the case of maternal attitudes to the excessive emotional distance with the child, severity and, at the same time, to partnership with the child. Thus, the mother’s sensitivity, maturity of her behavioral manifestations in interaction and parental attitudes combined with some "conditional love" from fathers can be regarded as resources for the successful flowing of the crisis of the first year. Parents need to move from strengthening their previous parenting methods to searching for new forms of interaction.

Published: September 2021

El presente artículo de investigación muestra los resultados de la aplicación de un procedimiento didáctico para mejorar el conocimiento de la biodiversidad en los estudiantes de séptimo y octavo grado de la escuela secundaria básica urbana Juan Vitalio Acuña Núñez del municipio de Pilón, en la provincia de Granma, Cuba. Se tomó como escenario el área protegida Punta de Hicacos. Se siguió un enfoque descriptivo-explicativo y se trabajó desde el paradigma sociocrítico que considera la unidad dialéctica de lo teórico y lo práctico, como un todo inseparable. El procedimiento se estructuró en cinco fases: observación, explicación, interpretación, comprensión y control de la apropiación del aprendizaje. Entre las conclusiones se destaca que el procedimiento corrobora su pertinencia y efectividad para transformar los conocimientos, los sentimientos y las actitudes con relación a la biodiversidad del entorno natural donde los estudiantes viven y se desarrollan.
El sentido educativo de los Espacios no Convencionales de Educación (ENCE) tipo jardínes botánicos: construcción de una teoría fundamentada
Authors: Rodríguez Angarita Tania Elena
Published: September 2021

Este artículo de investigación hace referencia al desarrollo de la segunda fase investigativa documental de la tesis doctoral desarrollada en el marco del Doctorado Interinstitucional de Educación de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, e implementada en el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis (JBBJCM). Presenta la construcción de una teoría fundamentada para resignificar su sentido educativo desde el contexto teórico de un Espacio No Convencional de Educación (ENCE) tipo jardines botánicos. Lo anterior, con el fin de generar acciones acordes con las realidades ambientales de la ciudad, en aras de impactar en las políticas internas, en las de ciudad, y en aquellas taxonomías normativas que en ocasiones designan competencias y limitan los alcances educativos de dichos espacios. Tradicionalmente estos escenarios (museos de ciencia, parques naturales, jardines botánicos, entre otros) han cumplido un papel importante en el fortalecimiento del currículo de ciencias en la educación formal, asociados a actividades de alfabetización científica, pero en la actualidad, sus potencialidades van más allá y los han vuelto interlocutores significativos en procesos de formación en contextos socio ambientales específicos. La metodología es de carácter cualitativo en torno a un estudio de caso, para construir una teoría fundamentada a partir de lo propuesto por Strauss y Corbin (2002). Su análisis de datos se refiere a la fase uno de tres en las que está organizada la investigación, dando como producto la teoría denominada: “Hacia una propuesta educativa integradora como un Espacio No Convencional de Educación tipo Jardín Botánico de Bogotá: dualidad entre la naturaleza como jardín botánico y como entidad distrital”.
La biología en la formación de maestros: apropiaciones desde lo vivo y la vida
Authors: Serrato Rodríguez Deysi
Published: September 2021

Este escrito emerge de los desarrollos de la tesis que se viene consolidando en el marco del Doctorado Interinstitucional en Educación de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. Se problematiza el lugar que adquiere la biología y su enseñanza en la formación de maestros de biología de la UPN a propósito de la emergencia de los discursos y relaciones vivo-vida. En términos metodológicos, esta investigación se ubica desde una perspectiva arqueogenealógica, poniendo en diálogo nociones metodológicas como saber y poder. En lo que refiere al procedimiento, se dispone de un archivo de alrededor de 500 fuentes documentales, las que se pasan por un proceso de tematización, lectura hipertextual e identificación de regularidades. Finalmente, se encuentra que las relaciones que los maestros en formación de la licenciatura en biología tejen entre lo vivo y la vida desbordan el saber biológico y son condicionadas por la enseñanza en tanto espacio relacional.
Pseudoaneurism of the brachial artery mimicking a soft tissue sarcoma: Case report

Published: September 2021

The current case is one of the rare clinical presentations of the brachial artery pseudo aneurysm presentation in children Pseudo-aneurism is one of the late complications of a missed or untreated arterial injury. The diagnosis is suggested in the presence of clinical signs such as: an expending, ill-defined mass with or without pulsation; bruit, pain, paresthesia, or paralysis due to nerve compression. Although plain X-Rays may show a nonspecific soft tissue mass, arteriography is essential in defining differentiating pseudo aneurisms from other soft masses. We report a case of a 10years old boy with a history of a stab injury in a well vascularized left cubital fossa region. The physical examination revealed a soft tissue mass with eroded skin. Ultrasound and MRI findings were respectively of an infected soft tissue mass and probable malignant soft tissue mass. Open biopsy was planned but surgical finding revealed a pseudo aneurism of the left brachial artery before its bifurcation. Brachial arterial lesion was repaired blood flow reestablished with clinical improvement.

There is growing research focusing on endothelial cells as separate units of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and on the complex relationships between different types of cells within a neurovascular unit. To conduct this type of studies, researches use vastly different in vitro BBB models. The main objective of such models is to study the BBB permeability for different molecules, and to advance the current level of understanding the mechanisms of disease and to develop methods of targeted therapy for the central nervous system. The analysis of the existing Abstract in vitro BBB models and their advantages/disadvantages was conducted using the clinical trial data obtained in Russian/foreign countries. In this review, the authors highlight the most relevant assessment parameters and propose a unified classification of in vitro BBB models. According to the performed analysis, there is a tendency to move from 2D BBB models based on semipermeable inserts to 3D BBB spheroid and microfluidic organ-on-chip models. Moreover, the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells instead of animal primary cells will make it possible to reliably scale the results obtained in vitro to conditions in vivo.

Aim. To assess the effects of cognitive rehabilitation with dual-task training that involves a cognitive task combined with postural and walking control, as well as electroencephalogram indices in patients in the early postoperative period after direct myocardial revascularization.

Methods. The study enrolled 48 patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Subjects in this prospective, randomized study were randomized using envelopes to a postoperative cognitive training group (n = 23) and non-training group (n = 25). The cognitive training was carried out daily, starting 3-4 days after the procedure and until the discharge order. Dual tasks training (a cognitive task combined with postural and walking control) lasted 15-20 minutes. All patients were submitted to an extended neurophysiological assessment (psychometric tests and electroencephalogram study) and stabilography 3-5 days before and 8-11 days after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Results. The patients who underwent cognitive training experienced postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in 39% cases in the early postoperative period after intervention, while the non-training group - in 64%. The relative risk of developing POCD in the non-training group was 2.77 (95% CI: 0.86-8.91, Z = 1.704, p = 0.08). The patients in cognitive training exhibited better cognitive state compared to the preoperative state (Z = 2.58; p = 0.01) in the absence of statistically significant differences in the non-training group. Moreover, type-1 theta power values increased in the non-training group in comparison to the preoperative values, while the cognitive training group did not have a statistically significant difference in theta power.

Conclusion. Positive effects of dual task rehabilitation on the neurophysiological parameters of patients undergoing direct myocardial revascularization were demonstrated. Positive effects include lower frequency of POCD, improved cognitive state and less pronounced cortical dysfunction. The dual task training had proved a suitable training method for this category of patients. Additional studies are required to test the possibility of increasing the duration and intensity of dual task training for stronger recovery effect and improved cognitive and walking performance of patients in the postoperative period after direct myocardial revascularization.

Aim. To analyze the topographic patterns of valvular and atherosclerotic calcification growth.

Methods.           Dysfunctional aortic valves (n = 18) and atherosclerotic plaques (n = 20) were fixed in formalin, postfixed in 1% osmium tetroxide, consecutively stained by 2% osmium tetroxide and 2% uranyl acetate, and embedded into epoxy resin (Epon) with the further grinding and polishing ofthe samples. Upon the counterstaining by lead citrate and sputter coating with carbon, samples were visualized by backscattered scanning electron microscopy. Elemental analysis was conducted via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Measurement of Ca/P ratio within the mineral deposits was carried out employing a pool table principle (i.e., in the center of the deposit, in the near and far circumferences (clockwise), and in control regions around the mineral deposit). Topographic patterns of calcifications were modeled using the correlation analysis.             

Results. Significant correlation was revealed between the Ca/P ratio in the deposit center and in the near and far circumferences of deposit in both in valvular (r = 0,35-0,78 - near circumference; r = 0,63-0,69 - far circumference) and atherosclerotic mineral deposits (r = 0,37-0,56 - near circumference; r = 0,48-0,63 - far circumference), suggesting the hierarchical growth of cardiovascular calcification around the initial nucleation sites.

Conclusion.       Valvular and atherosclerotic calcifications development is concentric.
Activation of transcriptional factor ZBTB16 expression during osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

Aim.Calcified aortic valve stenosis is the third leading cause of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear, however, it is known that they are largely similar to the formation of bone tissue during embryonic development, as well as in the postnatal period during regeneration. There is evidence for the             involvement of Zinc Finger and BTB Domain Containing 16 (ZBTB16) in skeletal development. At the same time, a number of studies carried out on different types of cell cultures indicate a contradictory and ambiguous effect of ZBTB16 on RUNX2 expression. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the dynamic variability of ZBTB16 expression, as well as its role in aortic valve calcification.

Methods.The study used different types of mesenchymal cells cultures - aortic valve interstitial cells, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, ligament stem cells and dental pulp stem cells. Changes in ZBTB16 and RUNX2 expression levels                under the influence of osteogenic stimuli, as well as during exogenous activation of ZBTB16, were analyzed using real-time PCR. Expression levels of some osteogenic markers - BMP2,4, COL1A1, IBSP, DLX2, PDK4 - were analyzed in the interstitial cells of the aortic valve.

Results.The results of the study indicate that a significant increase in the expression of ZBTB16 is observed during the induction of osteogenic differentiation of various cell cultures - interstitial cells of the aortic valve, mesenchymal stem cells of           the umbilical cord, stem cells of the ligaments and dental pulp. Apparently, the processes of osteogenic differentiation of aortic valve interstitial cells, in the presence of dexamethasone in cultivation medium, are provided through RUNX2-dependent signaling for the further activation of osteogenic markers.

Conclusion.The study of modulation of cellular signals by ZBTB16, when activating or suppressing the work of a transcriptional factor, in the future may bring us closer to the ability to enhance the regenerative abilities of bone tissue cells or, conversely, prevent calcification of the aortic valve tissues.

Abstract. Chronic heart failure is one of the main contributors to the Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases. Despite advances in modern treatment, acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) incidence is high. Moreover, patients admitted for ADHF encounter renal impairment, which is another predictor of adverse outcome. There are number of biomarkers that allow clinicians to assess the prognosis of the disease in the early stages. The article presents an overview of contemporary biomarkers (utilizing multimarker approach), and identifies the most significant biological markers for evaluating ADHF and worsening renal function.
