Multidimensional Model of the ZPD as Tool of Analysis of the Child’s Cognitive-Personal Dynamics of Development While Overcoming Learning Difficulties
Authors: Nikolaevskaya Irina
Published: April 2021

The main idea of the paper is based on L. S. Vygotsky’s concepts of ZPD and collaboration of teacher and student. The special process between teacher and student, organised in child’s zone of proximal development with using reﬂection and reﬂective questions as mail helping tools, leads to qualitative changes ﬁrstly in cognitive development of the student. Successes in learning activity create base for development of personal features. Thus, in such process, we may see strong connections between cognitive and personal developmental trajectories. Understanding of these connections gives an opportunity of mediative work with personal diÿculties of a child, opportunity to turn simple processes of learning into counseling work, e˙ecting all spheres of development.

Authors: Hassoun Maha , Makdissi Hélène , Sirois Pauline
Published: April 2021

Cette recherche vise à décrire les liens entre les représentations des enfants dans deux systèmes d’écriture : alphabétique et consonantique. Cette étude transversale est déployée auprès de 60 enfants libanais âgés entre 4 et 6 ans 1. Les écritures des enfants autour de huit mots sont récoltées en français et en arabe. Les résultats ne montrent aucune di˙érence signiﬁcative entre les deux systèmes d’écriture aux âges de 4 et 5 ans. C’est à l’âge de 6 ans que des di˙érences signiﬁcatives se présentent entre les deux langues. Les résultats montrent une di˙érence signiﬁcative des écritures en fonction de l’âge. Ces résultats soutiennent l’hypothèse développementale d’une structuration unique inductive quant aux codes alphabétique français et consonantique arabe. Cette structuration se distingue pour chacune des langues lors de l’entrée formelle dans l’écrit.
Key Challenges Facing AMISOM in Military Diplomacy in the Horn of Africa
Authors: Musoma Albert Lusiola
Published: April 2021

The world over, military diplomacy has not been always successful. This stems out of the fact that it could be faced by a plethora of challenges. This paper sets out to explore the key challenges facing AMISOM in military diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. The study adopted an exploratory and mixed methods research design. Data was obtained from a sample of 100 persons sampled from a population of 22,315 AMISOM Staff and Civilian contingent. The study employed a breadth of both primary and secondary sources for data collection. Primary data was being collected from study respondents by means of a research questionnaire and an interview schedule. The data analysis process involved both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Content analysis was mainly used to analyze the qualitative data and which would be reported normatively. Quantitative research findings were analyzed and reported using descriptive statistics, tables, graphs, charts and inferential statistics in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v23). Moreover, the data analysis was structured objectively to address each of the study research questions. The findings show that while competing interests may have clouded the scene at regional level, partly alluded to lack of a common approach to deal with the Somalia issue among the various countries, military diplomatic engagements by AMISOM are the most agreeable way to address regional peace and security. The study highlights the greater need for revised strategies in military diplomacy efforts and novel approaches to address competing interests among troop contributing countries that comprise AMISOM. Based on the study findings, the following recommendations were made. Arguably, the most important dimension of its success is hinged on the strategic unity and partnership of the different troops. At present however, the inconsistency in unity and strategic alliance among these countries continue to challenge the seamless command and probably influence the implementation of different military diplomacy strategies based on competing interests. Further, while assets remain a critical component of military diplomacy, the success of such multidimensional peace operations is equally anchored on a civilian component and the need for civilian capabilities. The realization of effective peacemaking and peacekeeping calls for efficient management structures at the field and in Addis for strategic and support of mission teams. AMISOM currently experiences an insufficient institutional capacity and human resources required to effectively handle complex peace operations and peacemaking initiatives. Recent assessment reveals the institution bureaucratic processes are still weak.

Australian tidal currents – assessment of a barotropic model (COMPAS v1.3.0 rev6631) with an unstructured grid
Authors: Griffin David Anthony , Herzfeld Mike , Hemer Mark , Engwirda Darren
Published: April 2021

Abstract. While the variations of tidal range are large and fairly well known across Australia (less than 1 m near Perth but more than 14 m in King Sound), the properties of the tidal currents are not. We describe a new regional model of Australian tides and assess it against a validation dataset comprising tidal height and velocity constituents at 615 tide gauge sites and 95 current meter sites. The model is a barotropic implementation of COMPAS, an unstructured-grid primitive-equation model that is forced at the open boundaries by TPXO9v1. The Mean Absolute value of the Error (MAE) of the modelled M2 height amplitude is 8.8 cm, or 12 % of the 73 cm mean observed amplitude. The MAE of phase (10°), however, is significant, so the M2 Mean Magnitude of Vector Error (MMVE, 18.2 cm) is significantly greater. The Root Sum Square over the 8 major constituents is 26 % of the observed amplitude. We conclude that while the model has skill at height in all regions, there is definitely room for improvement (especially at some specific locations). For the M2 major-axis velocity amplitude, the MAE across the 95 current meter sites, where the observed amplitude ranges from 0.1 cm s−1 to 156 cm s−1, is 6.9 cm s−1, or 22 % of the 31.7 cm s−1 observed mean. This nationwide average result is encouraging, but it conceals a very large regional variation. Relative errors of the tidal current amplitudes on the narrow shelves of NSW and Western Australia exceed 100 %, but tidal currents are weak and negligible there compared to non-tidal currents, so the tidal errors are of little practical significance. Looking nation-wide, we show that the model has predictive value for much of the 79 % of Australia’s shelf seas where tides are a major component of the total velocity variability. In descending order this includes the Bass Strait, Kimberley to Arnhem Land and Southern Great Barrier Reef regions. There is limited observational evidence to confirm that the model is also valuable for currents in other regions across northern Australia. We plan to commence publishing ‘unofficial’ tidal current predictions for chosen regions in the near future, based on both our COMPAS model and the validation data set we have assembled.
Design and performance analysis of wave linear generator with parallel mechanism
Authors: Yao Tao , Wang Yulong , Wang Zhihua , Qin Can
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Considering the irregularity of wave motion, a wave energy converter (WEC) based on 6-UCU parallel mechanism has been investigated. A buoy connected to moving platform is used to harvest wave energy. Each chain is equipped with the linear generator of the same structure, which can convert the absorbed wave energy into electrical energy. Based on the inverse kinematics analysis of parallel mechanism, the position of the parallel mechanism is solved by using the space closed-loop vector method; the relative motion of stator and translator is obtained. Through electromagnetic numerical simulations, the influences of linear generator parameters such as magnetization mode, air gap, and yoke shape on electromagnetic performance were evaluated. Numerical results show axial magnetization and Halbach magnet array can increase magnetic flux intensity more than radial mode. Furthermore, the rule of electromagnetic resistance is discussed with the change of the speed amplitude and the angle frequency. For a case, dynamic differential equation of the whole system is established. The conversion rate of wave energy is derived.
O ESTILO VERBAL: UMA ANÁLISE DAS ESCOLHAS LINGUÍSTICAS NO CONTO FELIZ ANIVERSÁRIO
Authors: MISKIW A. A. , CORBARI Alcione Tereza
Published: April 2021

Neste artigo, discorre-se sobre a questão da dimensão verbal de enunciados no conto Feliz aniversário, de Clarice Lispector. O objetivo central é analisar como a autora, a partir de determinadas estratégias linguísticas, constrói marcas estilísticas para tecer a narrativa e constituir o conteúdo temático. Como guia dessa análise, este estudo pauta-se na noção de estilo estabelecida a partir das reflexões teóricas cunhadas por intelectuais do Círculo bakhtiniano, como a interação e a enunciação. Como resultado desse processo de investigação, verificou-se que as escolhas estilísticas de Lispector, tais como o uso de estruturas assindéticas e a inversão sintática, criam efeitos que ativam o extraverbal em vários aspectos do texto.
CLARICE LISPECTOR VAI AO CINEMA: A ESTRELA É MACABÉA
Authors: MACHUCA J. C.
Published: April 2021

O trabalho aqui proposto aborda as relações entre o romance A hora da estrela, publicado em 1977 por Clarice Lispector, e o filme homônimo de Suzana Amaral lançado em 1985. Os elementos que estruturam a literatura e o cinema são diferentes e estabelecer parâmetros de comparação fez-se necessário. Assim, as análises aqui expostas estão centradas, sobretudo, no confronto entre a caracterização proposta para Macabéa no livro e no longa-metragem, com base em reflexões de Avellar (2007), Stam (2008) e Xavier (2003). Amaral consegue traduzir para o cinema, seja suprimindo, seja adicionando elementos, os sentimentos e as emoções de uma heroína, aparentemente calada por ser marginal, mas que, na verdade, usa a parcimônia como arma para enfrentar o sistema.

Este trabalho objetivou realizar uma análise do discurso do profissional fonoaudiólogo com base na teoria dialógica durante o atendimento de pacientes com zumbido utilizando o Cuidado Centrado na Pessoa. Temos em vista a construção da Interação discursiva (VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) a partir do momento que a profissional se utiliza do Cuidado Centrado na Pessoa. Nesse sentido, nossa pretensão foi averiguar como os sentidos se concretizam no diálogo entre a fonoaudióloga e seus pacientes. Os dizeres aqui construídos têm subsídio teórico nos pressupostos de Bakhtin (2006a, 2006b, 2010), Volóchinov (2017) e Medviédev (2016), ao tratarem da problemática do discurso. Em perspectiva dialógico-discursiva, no âmbito das discussões em Ciências Humanas, divide-se este trabalho em três seções. Buscamos, na primeira seção, apresentar considerações basilares sobre o zumbido e como este é tratado por meio do Cuidado Centrado na Pessoa. Na segunda seção, realizamos uma discussão sobre a importância do uso do Cuidado Centrado na Pessoa no atendimento de pacientes com zumbido; enquanto a terceira seção compreende a análise, em que averiguamos, por meio de abordagem dialógica, o discurso da profissional fonoaudióloga sobre zumbido.

Complications encountered in the chronic phase in flail chest patients are a decrease in lung volume due to chest wall deformities and secondary restrictive respiratory function disorders. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in lung volume changes between flail chest patients who were treated non-surgically and those who were treated with surgical stabilisation. The study was conducted on twenty patients who applied to our clinic and were diagnosed with flail chest. There were ten patients in the non-surgically treated group and ten in the surgical stabilisation group. Computed tomography (CT) images of the patients were received before the treatment and in the third post-operative month. Total lung volumes were estimated on CT images using the planimetry method of the Cavalieri principle. The relationship between the treatment method and volume changes was analysed. While the total lung volume increased 12.9% post-operatively in the non-surgically treated group, it increased 36.9% in the surgical stabilisation group (p<0.05). In those cases of hemithorax affected by trauma, the increase in volume in the surgical stabilisation group was 41.6 (34.6%), but it was 7.7 (10%) in the non-surgically treated group (p<0.05). In the contralateral hemithorax, the increase observed in the stabilisation group was 42.6 (39.2%) while the increase in the non-surgical treated group was 19.6 (13.9%) (p>0.05). Our findings showed that the post-operative total lung volume increase in the surgically treated group of patients was greater than that of the conservative group. If there are no preventive factors for the surgical approach, surgical rib stabilisation could be the primary choice of treatment in flail chest patients.

Authors: TURKOZ Dursun , DEMIREL Cem
Published: April 2021

We aimed to evaluate mortality-associated factors among patients with acute epidural hematoma due to head trauma. Demographic characteristics, preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score, epidural hematoma aetiology and radiological findings, accompanying systemic trauma results, hospitalisation duration, sequelae, and mortality features of patients experiencing epidural hematoma between 2014 and 2018 were evaluated. Overall, 79 patients were examined. The most frequent epidural hematoma aetiology was traffic accidents (51.9%), with temporal region being the most common epidural hematoma location (38 [48.2%] patients). Among all, 12 (15.2%) patients died and 67 (84.8%) were discharged. Of them, 57 (85.1%) patients were discharged without and 10 (14.9%) with neurological sequelae. Age>65 years (p=0.001) and low Glasgow Coma Scale score (p<0.05) were significantly associated with higher mortality. Overall mortality rate was 91.7% (p<0.001) in patients with systemic trauma accompanying epidural hematoma, with thoracic (12%) and orthopaedic (9%) trauma being the most common. Cranial injuries included linear fracture, 78.5%; pneumocephalus, 48.1%; cerebral contusion, 44.3%; traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage, 32.9%; acute subdural hematoma; 26.6%, and collapse fracture, 15%. All cranial injuries except linear fractures were associated with high mortality (p<0.05). Epidural hematoma is associated with high mortality. Aetiology, Glasgow Coma Scale score, cranial pathology, age, and additional trauma are the major predictive mortality-associated factors.

Published: April 2021

Down’s syndrome (DS) is one of the most common genetic causes of mental and cognitive retardation. In fact, it results in a number of characteristic neuropsychological and physical symptoms, including mental retardation. The aim of this study was to compare the brain structure volumes of children with DS to those of healthy children using MRI Studio in order to investigate whether there exists correlation between the developmental stages of DS and the results of both the Denver II Developmental Screening Test and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quantitative analysis. Five children diagnosed with Down’s syndrome (age range = 2–6 years) were matched for gender and age with five healthy comparison subjects. To analyse the overall and regional brain volumes, high-resolution MRI scans were performed and a morphometric analysis was conducted via MRI Studio software. The MRI T1 volumetric images were normalised using a linear transformation, which was followed by large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping. Significant decreases (p<0.05) in the volumes of the right pons, cerebellum and left superior frontal gyrus (prefrontal cortex) were observed in the children with DS when compared with the control group (p<0.05). Although decreases were detected in the regional volumes of other brain locations, they were not significant (p>0.05). It was further found that the developmental retardation observed in the children with DS, as detected using the Denver II test, increased due to decreases in the volumes of certain regions of the brain, although this was also not statistically significant (p>0.05). The results of this study generally confirm the findings of prior studies concerning the overall patterns of the brain volumes in children with DS and also provide new evidence of the abnormal volumes of specific regional tissue components among such a population. These results suggest that the brain volume reduction associated with DS may primarily be due to early developmental differences rather than neurodegenerative changes.
Comparison of curcumin and methylprednisolone in the prevention of epidural fibrosis after spinal surgery: An experimental study

Published: April 2021

We aimed to compare the effectiveness of curcumin, which has been shown to inhibit cell migration and proliferation, with that of methylprednisolone, which has been shown to have a similar mechanism of action to that of curcumin and to delay tissue repair and wound healing, in the prevention of epidural fibrosis in an experimental laminectomy model in rats. The experiment was conducted with 40 male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g which were divided into four groups. Laminectomy was performed from L1 to L4 in all groups. Curcumin and methylprednisolone were applied to the other two groups except the control and DMSO groups. The vertebral colon was excised en bloc and each section was examined for epidural fibrosis formation under a light microscope to evaluate histologically using the grading system. Results: The statistical analyses indicated that the treatment groups had a significant effect on the histological grades of epidural fibrosis in rats compared to the control group. Curcumin, derived from the rhizome (Rhizoma Curcumae) of turmeric (Curcuma longa) was found to show a significant effect in the prevention of epidural fibrosis formation with its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and by inhibiting further recruitment of fibroblasts to the laminectomy area. In the present study, both histological examination and statistical analyses indicated that the administration of curcumin led to a remarkable reduction in epidural fibrosis after laminectomy.

Published: April 2021

Oxaliplatin (Ox) is widely used for the treatment of various tumors. Since Ox prevents DNA replication and transcription, it may affect organs with rapid cell divisions such as the testes. Although its use during pregnancy has been reported, no information regarding its effects on the testes of the offspring is not available yet. Thirty-two mice were randomly divided into four groups. The control group (1) was administered intraperitoneally 0.2 ml of saline three times a week for the 21 days of pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and lactation. Experimental groups 2, 3 and 4 received 3 mg/kg of oxaliplatin three times a week for 21 days during pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and lactation, respectively. The left testis was removed from male offspring 30 and 60 days after birth. The volume of the testes, seminiferous tubules and interstitial tissue, the surface area and height of the seminiferous epithelium, as well as the length and diameter of seminiferous tubules, were analyzed by means of stereology. Results showed a decrease in the evaluated parameters in experimental groups, in comparison with the control group. Due to the ameliorating effect of Ox on offspring testes, cautiousness is needed during maternal administration in order to preserve the fertility of male offspring.

Published: April 2021

Actualmente existen diversas experiencias de investigación académica en pueblos indígenas que se sitúan desde perspectivas colaborativas. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo compartir una de esas experiencias, en el contexto de una comunidad zapoteca de la Sierra Sur de Oaxaca, México, donde realizamos nuestras tesis doctorales en educación y pedagogía. El enfoque metodológico que empleamos se sitúa desde la etnografía, en general, y desde la etnografía educativa – colaborativa en particular. Las tres tesis abordan aspectos educativos; dos de ellas en relación con procesos educativos propios de la comunidad, y otra refiere a la educación escolar. Nos interesa destacar cómo hemos articulado nuestros proyectos particulares en función de un proyecto general que tiene que ver con la construcción y fortalecimiento de saberes indígenas, en donde la propia comunidad es el agente educativo principal. En ese sentido, se trata de un ejercicio de investigación donde confluimos tanto agentes comunitarios como estudiantes de doctorado, además del acompañamiento de investigadores externos interesados en la región zapoteca de la Sierra Sur. Lo anterior invita a reflexionar en torno a la pertinencia del trabajo en equipo desde una perspectiva colaborativa, que supera la perspectiva individualista e incluso extractivista asociada a las investigaciones tradicionales.
Biologically active substances of Camellia sinensis in a humid subtropical climate of Russia
Authors: Belous Oksana , Platonova Natalia
Published: April 2021

We did a comparative analysis of tea and raw tea materials. There is an increase in the content of carotenoids and flavonoids (thearubigins and theaflavins) in June, a decline in July, and August, and consequently a slight increase again in other months. The increase is due to unfavorable conditions – drought during these periods. In raw new variety forms No. 855 and No. 582, as well as in black tea variety form No. 582 (0.09 mg.g-1), we determined the high value of theaflavins (0.10; 0.11 and 0.09 mg.g-1, respectively). The highest content of thearubigins was found in variety forms No. 582 and No. 3823 (1.33 mg.g-1 and 1.17 mg.g-1). Ascorbic acid is significantly disintegrated (on average 96 – 97%) in the production of black tea. In green tea, ascorbic acid disintegrates to a lesser extent, leaving about 13% of its initial amount in the raw material. The dynamics of GPOD activity in a 3-leaf sprout are variety-specific. At the beginning of the growing season (May), the activity of the enzyme was low – in the range of 0.363 to 0.607 g-unit in sec. In June, there is a decrease in activity, which, however, is not significant (p <0.05) and is due to the biological characteristics of the tea culture. In green tea, the ruthine is on average 3 times more than in black tea (on average about 38.09 and 12.12 mg.100g-1, respectively). We have identified 11 amino acids; the highest percentage accounted for proline (from 30 to 70%), valine (17 – 30%), and serine (about 10%). We have identified 11 amino acids in Krasnodar tea, a large proportion of these amino acids has proline, valine, and serine. There was a variation in the content of biologically active substances depending on genotype characteristics. Studies have identified some controversial issues that require explanation and further study.

The Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) is a very useful analytical tool in understanding the existence of interrelationships between economic variables and in the formation of a structured economy. This study aims to explain the analysis of the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model and explain the application of the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model for influence analysis. The FDR ratio in the Sharia Commercial banks tends to be stable. This is illustrated from the coefficient of determination which is almost close to 100%, namely 91.55%. Cointegration test results show there is no long-term balance relationship between FDR variables with ROA of Islamic banks in Indonesia. ROA has a positive effect on ROA while ROA on FDR is negative, meaning that FDR makes a small contribution to ROA.

PENERAPAN KEADILAN DALAM PEMBANGUNAN EKONOMI DENGAN KEBIJAKAN INVESTASI MELALUI BANK SYARIAH
Authors: Kholifah Ayu
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Economic development is one of the effort to realize "social justice for all Indonesian people", so the process of achieving should be pursued in a justice way, so that there is no imbalance that can make the goals not be attained maximally. Sharia Bank is the only banking system that explicitly states that banking activities are based on the justice principle.  Based on that case, this paper will discuss what is the indicator of justice and how urgent is the application of justice principle in banking activities. Then, find out what investment policy models can enhance the role of the community to contribute to development through banking institutions that have applied the principle of justice. The results showed that: first, an indicator of justice in banking activities is based on an existence of the "harm" thing, banks with riba potentially harm both the bank and the customer; secondly, choosing banking services that contain injustice is just the same to choose madharat, because injustice is zhalim; thirdly, Indonesia can implement a policy model of separating deposit and investment accounts, which in investment products the bank acts as a facilitator rather than a fund manager as in deposit accounts.

Pembangunan ekonomi adalah salah satu upaya untuk mewujudkan “keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia”, sehingga proses untuk mencapainya sudah seharusnya ditempuh dengan cara yang adil agar tidak terjadi ketimpangan yang bisa mengakibatkan tidak maksimalnya pencapaian tujuan tersebut. Bank Syari’ah merupakan satu-satunya sistem perbankan yang secara eksplisit menyebutkan bahwa aktifitas perbankan dijalankan berdasrkan prinsip keadilan.Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini akanmembahas tentang apa indikator keadilan dan bagaimana urgensi penerapan prinsip keadilan dalam aktifitas perbankan, serta menemukan model kebijakan investasi yang dapat meningkatkan peran masyarakat untuk berkontribusi dalam pembangunan ekonomi melalui lembaga perbankan yang telah menerapkan prinsip keadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa: pertama, indikator keadilan dalam aktifitas perbankan yaitu berdasarkan ada atau tidaknya unsur “merugikan”, bank dengan sitem ribaberpotensi merugikan baik bagi pihak bank maupun nasabah; kedua,memilih jasa perbankan yang mengandung unsur ketidakadilan sama saja dengan memilih kemadharatan, karena ketidakadilan adalah sebuah kedzaliman; ketiga, Indonesia bisa menerapkan model kebijakan pemisahan akun deposito dan investasi, yang mana dalam produk investasi bank bertindak sebagai fasilitator bukan pengelola dana seperti dalam deposito.

Solving a hybrid batch production problem with unreliable equipment and quality reassurance
Authors: Chiu Singa Wang , Wu Hua-Yao , Yeh Tsu-Ming , Wang Yunsen
Published: April 2021

A hybrid batch fabrication plan involving an outsourcing option is often established to deal with the in-house capacity constraint and/or meet timely demand with a reduced cycle time. Besides, the occurrences of unpredictable equipment malfunction and imperfect product quality should also be effectively managed during in-house fabrication to meet the production schedule and the required quality level. To address these concerns, we examine a hybrid economic production quantity (EPQ) problem with an unreliable machine and quality reassurance; wherein, an outside provider helps supply a portion of the batch at a requested timing and desirable quality, but at the price of a higher than in-house unit cost. Corrective action is performed immediately when a Poisson-distributed breakdown occurs. Once the equipment repairing task completes, the interrupted lot’s fabrication resumes. Random nonconforming products are identified, and the re-workable items among them are separated from the scraps. A rework task follows the regular process in each cycle at an extra cost. A portion of reworked items fails and are scrapped. A model portraying the problem’s characteristics is built, and an optimization methodology is utilized to find the optimal runtime solution to the problem. A numerical example reveals our result’s applicability, and specific managerial implications are suggested.
