Published: April 2023

Sektor UMKM diharapkan mampu menjadi sumber kekuatan baru perekonomian nasional dalam menghadapi krisis.Untuk bisa menjadi kekuatan baru di bidang ekonomi, pemerintah hendaknya memperhatikan SDM dan Manajemennya. Inovasi dari rata-rata UMKM selama ini dirasa masih minim sehingga bisnis UMKM kerap jalan ditempat. Belum lagi persoalan financial atau modal usaha yang kerap menghambat pelaku UMKM untuk meningkatkan produktivtasnya. Persoalan terakhir yang harus diperhatikan adalah keterbatasan akses pemasaran dan juga penyediaan bahan baku. Salah satu desa yang menjadi sasaran kegiatan PKM adalah UKM kacang kapri dibanjar Kenanga Desa Batubulan Kecamatan Sukawati Kabupaten Gianyar yang berjarak ± 10 km. Menurut ibu Gek Ayuni bahan baku kacang tanah yang sesuai standar kebutuhan kadang tidak mudah didapat. Kalaupun ada, harus menunggu beberapa hari. Dampak yang dirasakan mitra di masa Pandemi seperti saat ini adalah kendala dalam pemasaran karena mengalami penurunan penjualan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi mitra adalah sulit mengembangkan usaha. Karena terbatasnya sumber modal, kurangnya promosi, belum melakukan pencatatan pembukuan terkait dengan biaya-biaya yang telah dikeluarkan dan dalam menjalankan usahanya mitra menjalankan usahanya secara kekeluargaan.Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan solusi bagaimana meningkatkan penjualan di masa pandemi oleh karena itu tim pengabdian memberi solusi berupa pemberian pendampingan manajemen keuangan, dan manajemen pemasaran.dan tata kelola kewirausahaan.

Al-Saedi, G.F. 2023. Effect of Humic Acid and Henna Extract Lawsonia inermis on Dubas Bug Ommatissus binotatus on Date Palm Trees in the South of Iraq. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(1): 58-64. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.1.058064 Date palm is infected by many harmful insect pests, which lead to significant economic losses, among these pests is the dubas bug, Ommatissus binotatus (De Berg). This study was conducted to determine the effect of adding humic acid to NPK fertilizer and the use of henna extract Lawsonia inermis to reduce the effect of dubas bug on date palm trees. The spring insect infestation began at the beginning of March and reached its peak during April of 30.50% insect/leaf of untreated trees, 25% for trees treated with humic acid and henna extract, and 27.30% for trees treated with henna extract only. As for its autumn activity, it started at the beginning of October, and the peak infestation reached 25.60% for untreated trees, 18.70% for trees treated with humic acid and henna extract, and 20.60% for trees treated with henna extract only. The results also showed that trees treated with humic acid and henna extract were less infested with dubas bug, reaching 5.52%, with a significant difference from untreated trees, which amounted to 7.88%. The results also showed that treating infested leaves with dubas bug with humic acid increased the leaf content of total chlorophyll, wax and phenolic compounds compared with untreated leaves infested with dubas bug. Keywords: Dubas bug, humic acid, Lawsonia inermis, date palm, phenolic substances
Effect of Microscopic Elementary School Commuting Environment on Housing Price: Focused on Mok-dong and Cheonggye-dong, Hwaseong-si, where Elementary School Students are Concentrated
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Kim Joo-Sung , Hong Sung jo
Published: April 2023

Recently, the issue of commuting safety for elementary school students is emerging, and research on this issue is necessary. However, research on the elementary school commuting environment has been mainly focused on accessibility through the straight-line distance between home and school, studies on the effect of microscopic commuting environment on housing prices are insufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of microscopic elementary school commuting environment on housing price. For this purpose, multiple regression analysis was used with the commuting environment as the independent variables and the housing price per unit area as the dependent variable. The subjects of the study were 324 apartment buildings in 27 apartment complexes in Mok-dong and Cheonggye-dong, Hwaseong-si, which have the highest ratio of elementary school students to the population. For the analysis data, 882 houses for sale registered in Naver real estate platform from July 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021 were used. The analysis results are summarized as follows. First, as the walking distance to the school increased, the housing price decreased. Second, if crossings were necessary for commuting to elementary school, housing prices decreased. Third, the wider the road to cross when commuting to school, the lower the housing price. Fourth, if a bicycle road with high bicycle speed exists in the commuter road, the housing price decreased. Summarizing these results, the microscopic elementary school commuting environment affects housing prices. In particular, variables related to traffic safety have a great influence on housing prices, and this should be considered in the site planning and apartment building arrangement process.

A pesquisa refletiu sobre o caráter liminoide de experiências que evidenciam as tensões geracionais cotidianas dos interlocutores, tanto no âmbito da militância no Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) quanto em sua inserção em um curso de graduação na área de Educação do Campo. Nesse sentido, o artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre a categoria ‘juventude’, pensada aqui enquanto classificação relacional em que diferentes elementos são acionados e negociados a partir das interações sociais cotidianas, a exemplo dos espaços criados pelo MST e dedicados à juventude do movimento.
“Civil para dentro e militar para fora”: instituições, identidades e interesses em disputa na Guarda Civil Municipal De Niterói
Authors: Viana Carlos Eduardo Pereira
Published: April 2023

Este artigo objetiva descrever e analisar o processo de discussão pública acerca da adoção do uso de armas letais por agentes da Guarda Civil Municipal (GCM) de Niterói. Para tanto, utilizo por base o material construído ao longo do trabalho de campo realizado no Curso de Formação Profissional (CFP) para novos agentes da instituição entre os anos de 2014 e 2017, além dos relatos coletados durante o processo de discussão sobre o tema antes, durante e depois da consulta pública realizada pela citada Prefeitura, que oficializou a negativa por parte da população com relação à proposta. Oriento a construção deste artigo a partir do método etnográfico, produzindo para o tema uma linha de investigação que pretende tangenciar as questões ligadas ao processo de militarização da GCM de Niterói e a busca concomitante de seus agentes pelo “respeito” da população. Nessa jornada, contrapõem-se o desejo por uma estrutura menos hierarquizada, na qual o agente tenha mais autoridade – “civil para dentro” – e a tendência à adesão da identidade militar como um parâmetro a ser seguido – “militar para fora”. É justamente nesse contexto aparentemente contraditório que o debate sobre o uso de armas letais ganha espaço, revelando-se no decorrer da pesquisa como um fator determinante para, por um lado, fortalecer a identidade da Guarda como instituição civil, ao romper com simbolismos e práticas militarizadas e, por outro, (re)construir a imagem no senso comum da população, desligando-se de uma identidade percebida e vivenciada pelos guardas como inferiorizada ou, em suas palavras, de “guardinhas”.
“A gente aprendeu com as mais velhas”: saber-fazer camponês e trabalho feminino na produção do queijo colonial em Jaguari-RS
Authors: Piecha Renata , Zanini Maria Catarina Chitolina
Published: April 2023

Com base na perspectiva etnográfica e na observação participante, o presente artigo reflete acerca da produção do queijo “colonial” ou “da colônia” por mulheres na comunidade de Rincão dos Alves, interior do município de Jaguari, na região central do Rio Grande do Sul. Caracterizada como um “saber-fazer” das e dos imigrantes europeus que vieram ao Brasil pelo projeto de colonização iniciado no século XIX, essa produção, que preza pela “manutenção” das origens familiares e por certo modo de vida camponês e secular, advém exclusivamente da esfera de trabalho dita feminina. Enquanto saberes tradicionais são transmitidos de geração em geração por e entre mulheres, o queijo colonial circula pela via da informalidade em circuitos curtos, adquirindo valor simbólico e de mercado tanto na sua confecção quanto em seu consumo, entrelaçando conhecimentos, temporalidades, territorialidades e gostos que se manifestam em práticas cotidianas.

Governamentalidade no Regime Militar (1964-1985): a reforma ibegeana e o ENDEF
Authors: Gomes Laura Graziela
Published: April 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo destacar a importância do IBGE durante o regime militar a partir da reforma da instituição que tornou possível a realização do Censo de 1970 e, mais adiante, a realização do Estudo Nacional da Despesa Familiar - Endef (1974-1975). Desse período em diante, o IBGE tornou-se a principal instituição da administração pública brasileira responsável pelas pesquisas e levantamentos socioeconômicos que serviram de base aos governos militares – e posteriormente aos governos civis – para, junto com as demais instituições estatais do período, tomarem suas decisões de governo para fins de planejamento e de promoção das políticas públicas, ao mesmo tempo que serviram para respaldar posições do regime militar diante das políticas de segurança e integração nacional. O artigo foi baseado no memorial da autora1 sobre o início de sua trajetória profissional no IBGE como membro do grupo de trabalho do Endef entre 1975 e 1981, sendo também respaldado em publicações do IBGE sobre o Endef (disponíveis na internet), além de depoimentos de ex-funcionários e ex-pesquisadores do Endef.
Insurance companies in the European Union: General criteria affecting investment policies
Authors: López Domínguez Ignacio
Published: April 2023

Investments of insurance companies relate to assets that guarantee the insured the payment of benefits (liabilities assumed), so they are conditioned by the duration of contracts, the amount of the sums insured, and the level of technical reserves required. An entity shall preserve the value of the investment in time for benefits obligations to policyholders and maintain the solvency margin and capital to protect shareholder or participant/beneficiary. Some insurance investment policies are based on the consideration of risk and return on assets and have incorporated the outcome measures of investment expenses and cost of capital. This article provides an overview of the evolving investment strategies of insurers and identifies the opportunities and constraints they may face with respect to long-term investment activity. This research employs a qualitative method with a convenience sampling approach. The sample of this study was the portfolios of several insurance companies in the European Union (EU). The results showed that two types of general criteria when selecting investment assets are observed, at least theoretically: the ownership structure of the entities and the types of products that are managed (life and non-life). According to the results of this study, most of the investments correspond to the life insurance segment, where contractual obligations are long-term and the insured risk is less volatile, which are invested mainly in fixed income. In contrast, non-life entities have a greater preference to invest in equity and real income when compared to the previous. The relevance of this study is based on the repercussions in the financial markets, as insurers as the main institutional investor.
An improved decision tree-based method for predicting overvoltage peak values integrating a model-driven scheme
Authors: Zhang Zhe , Qin Boyu , Gao Xin , Zhang Yixing , Ding Tao
Published: April 2023

The commutation failure is the most prevalent fault in line-commutated
converter based HVDC systems, which may result in transient overvoltage
on the sending-side system. Overvoltage level evaluation has become a
crucial task for power industries to assess the tripping risk of
large-scale wind turbines and implement effective stability control
measures. In this paper, decision tree (DT) model is adopted to extract
the mapping relationship between transient overvoltage and massive
electrical quantities of power grids. The common DT algorithm is
transformed by modifying the error weight assignment, which reflects the
error tolerances for different actual overvoltage regions. To compensate
for potential inaccuracies in the data-driven method, a derivation of
the mathematical relationship between the reactive power consumed by the
rectifier and AC voltage is presented, along with an analytical
expression for the peak value of transient overvoltage. On this basis,
an overvoltage analysis method integrating the model-driven and
data-driven techniques is proposed, and the improved DT algorithm is
ap-plied to fast error correction, enhancing the interpretability of
regression prediction results. Case studies were performed in the actual
Northwest China local region hybrid AC/DC power grid with transient
overvoltage problems, and the simulation results verified the
effectiveness of the proposed method.
Subpleural Pulmonary Cysts in Children: Associations Beyond Trisomy 21
Authors: Manson David , Singh Anuradha , Coblentz Ailish , Hadrian Fatemeh , Chami Rose , Traubici Ben
Published: April 2023

Background: Small air filled peripheral subpleural cysts are a
well described feature of pulmonary anatomy at computerised tomographic
(CAT) scan in children with Trisomy 21, yet only anecdotally described
in association with other pathologies. The significance of these cysts
is unknown. Objective: To investigate and explore the
pathogenesis of these subpleural cysts in children. Materials
and Methods: A retrospective review of 16 cases with subpleural cysts
diagnosed on CT chest was performed. The distribution, location and
ancillary CT findings were recorded. Hospital charts were reviewed for
clinical details, especially cardiac abnormalities, pulmonary artery
hypertension (PAH) and genetic associations. Histopathological and
clinical correlative data were recorded. Results: 11/16
children (69%) were found to have an underlying chromosomal or genetic
abnormality, six of whom had Trisomy 21. The remaining 5/16 cases (21%)
had miscellaneous disorders without an identifiable genetic basis. The
most common co-morbidities were cardiac abnormalities (81%) and PAH
(62.5%). Regardless of their underlying etiologies, the cysts were
present bilaterally in most cases (14/16, 88%). We observed both the
postnatal development and the progression of cysts in our cohort
. On long term follow-up, there were five deaths (31%) and six
cases (38%) requiring maintenance oxygen therapy due to chronic
hypoxia. Two cases (12.5%) became completely asymptomatic after
correction of their underlying abnormalities. Conclusion:
Subpleural cysts are not exclusive to Trisomy 21 and may be seen in
other inherited or acquired causes, likely due to altered alveolar
growth. We suspect these cysts are a sign of an underlying developmental
disorder with variable clinical effect, especially in children with
congenital cardiac disease.

From Planetary lens towards Urbanising Rural of Türkiye
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Sevim Pelin
Published: April 2023

The urbanization under contemporary capitalism is planetary and it has
extended to geographies far beyond the edge of mega-cities and regions.
Meanwhile, inherited conceptions of the urban as a bounded, universal
settlement type and inherited urban forms are continually transforming
and restructuring. This study explores and analyses the pattern and
dynamics of extended urbanization in Türkiye. Marmara Region that is one
of the most populated and industrialized regions of Türkiye is selected
as a case area. Today, the region is extendedly urbanised, and the
urbanisation has taken various material forms in space and mining takes
the lead spreading throughout the area. As it is illustrated, extended
urbanization formations are degrading the Marmara Region’s erstwhile
wilderness and rural areas that extends far beyond the concentrated
urban areas and megacity İstanbul.

Published: April 2023

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women and
the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The newly emerged
non-coding RNAs tsRNAs (tRNA-derived small RNAs) play an important role
in the occurrence and development of BC. The purpose of this study was
to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic, diagnostic and
clinicopathological roles of tsRNAs in BC. Through literature screening,
a total of 13 BC-related tsRNA studies were included in this
meta-analysis, all of which passed quality assessment. Prognostic
studies showed upregulated tsRNAs to be associated with poor survival
outcomes (HR=1.64, 95%CI: 1.51-1.77) and downregulated tsRNAs to be
associated with better outcomes (HR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.50-0.68). Results of
diagnostic studies showed a combined sensitivity of 72% (95%CI:
68%-76%) and combined specificity of 64% (95%CI: 61-67%); the AUC
was 0.72 (95%CI: 0.68-0.75) and the DOR 4.62 (95%CI: 3.76-5.68).
Finally, correlation analysis of clinicopathological features showed
that downregulation of tsRNAs correlated significantly with age, TNM
stage and lymphatic metastasis. Sensitivity analysis and publication
bias showed no significant difference. In conclusion, BC-associated
tsRNAs are closely related to the prognosis and clinicopathological
features of patients with this disease and can be used to assist in
early diagnosis of BC. Therefore, tsRNAs are potential targets for the
diagnosis and treatment of BC.
Sex-specific causal effects of serum sex hormones on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity: evidence from the UK Biobank and COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative
Authors: Zhao Jian , Liu Dong , Hu Rui , Gao Xue , Li Fei
Published: April 2023

Several medications and treatments are being investigated for their
potential effectiveness against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
including androgen and other sex hormones. However, the causal
relationships between serum sex hormones and COVID-19 susceptibility and
severity, particularly with regards to potentially sex-specific effects,
remain largely unknown. In this study, we used the latest data from the
UK Biobank (up to 424,907 individuals) and COVID-19 Host Genetics
Initiative (up to 1,878,143 individuals) to systematically assess the
sex-specific causal effects of serum sex hormone levels on COVID-19
outcomes within a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. The
inverse-variance weighted method was used in the main MR analysis. We
additionally performed a series of sensitivity analysis to assess the
robustness of MR effect estimates to potentially invalid genetic
variants. Our MR analysis revealed novel causal associations between
serum estradiol and bioavailable testosterone levels and SARS-CoV-2
infection in women, but not men, except for a suggestive inverse causal
association between estradiol levels and COVID-19 severity in men. These
novel findings improve our understanding of the sex-specific causal
nature of sex hormones in relation to COVID-19 outcomes, and suggest
that sex hormones may serve as potential therapeutic targets for
preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection and improving patient outcomes.
Circadian clock and temperature-associated genes vary along climate gradients in lichenized fungi
Authors: Valim Henrique , Grande Francesco Dal , Schmitt Imke
Published: April 2023

Circadian regulation is linked to local environmental adaptation.
Accordingly, many species with broad geographic and climatic niches
display variation in circadian clock genes. Here we hypothesize that
lichen-forming fungi, which occupy different climate zones along
elevation gradients, tune their metabolism to local environmental
conditions with the help of their circadian systems. We study two
species of the genus Umbilicaria, which occupy similar climatic
niches along elevation in different continents. Using homology to known
functional genes from Neurospora crassa, we identify gene sets
associated with circadian rhythms (11 core, 39 peripheral genes) and
temperature response (37 genes). Population genomics approaches indicate
that nucleotide diversity of these genes is significantly correlated
with mean annual temperature, minimum temperature of the coldest month,
and mean temperature of the coldest quarter. Altitudinal clines in
allele frequencies pertain to several non-synonymous substitutions in
core clock components, e.g. white collar-like, frh-like
and various ccg-like genes. A dN/dS approach revealed a small
number of significant peripheral clock- and temperature-associated genes
(e.g. ras-1-like, gna-1-like) that may play a role in
fine-tuning the circadian clock and temperature-response machinery.
These results highlight the likely relevance of the circadian clock in
environmental adaptation, particularly frost tolerance, of lichenized
fungi. Whether or not the fungal clock modulates the symbiotic
interaction within the lichen consortium remains to be investigated. We
corroborate the finding of significant genetic variation in clock
components along altitude – not only latitude – as has been reported
in a variety of species.

If the evidence is not research, what is it? Egyptian physicians’ explanations of the lack of research citations in their health vlogs
Authors: Atef Noha
Published: April 2023

Doctor-influencers have the knowledge needed to understand scientific research, and they have the social media popularity to share it with large audiences. In this article, I explore the treatment of evidence in vlogs by Egyptian doctor-influencers: how they present it and what they use instead of it. I answer the following questions: 1) How do doctor-influencers present evidence on social media? 2) If research is not the evidence, what the evidence is? The data was collected through in-depth interviews with 12 Egyptian doctor-influencers from different specializations; two focus groups; and a critical discourse analysis of 48 of the influencers’ most popular and most engaging videos. I found that the doctor-influencers cited academic research only in the videos about medical controversies, new treatments, misinformation, or common medical mistakes. In most of their videos, the Egyptian doctor-influencers scarcely referred to medical research. This is because they believe that their audiences would not understand the evidence due to their low educational attainment, weak research skills, and the language barrier (as most medical research is published in English rather than Arabic). These findings highlight the challenges of communicating science in societies with a low level of education. In these settings, communicators may need to move beyond mediating research studies on social media and instead focus on simplifying, translating, and connecting evidence-based information to the cultural context.
Assessment of the Effects of Antiretroviral Medications on Kidney Status in Rwanda
Authors: Mugabo Christian
Published: April 2023

According to the previous research, ART over different durations of time has an effect on the nephron as well as on liver hepatoxicity by inducing toxicity. Renal dysfunction by ART has been associated primarily with tenofovir disoproxil, which is actively accumulated in the proximal renal tubule. CKD is the major problem in ART patients and can lead to loss of kidney function, leading to complications and kidney failure, and development of cardiovascular disease. The main objectives of this study was to assess the effect of antiretroviral drugs on kidney function among the patients attended Nyanza DH during the period of two years. The research is retrospective study done to identify the effect of antiretroviral drugs on kidney Status in Nyanza DH. In total, 755 patients received the antiretroviral medications in Nyanza DH during a period of two years from the 1st of January 2015 to the 31st of December 2017. However 98 patients had data complying with the objective of this study. Those patients with kidney tests conducted every 6months, with elevated CD4 count, and eliminated viral charge. Furthermore nephrotoxicity incidence was considered for both higher concentration of Serum creatinine and lower creatinine Clearance. The results showed that among 98 patients, 24.4% had kidney dysfunction characterized by elevated serum creatinine level at the beginning of treatment. After 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment the percentages of patients with elevated serum creatinine increased to 41.8%, 48.9 % and 50% respectively. It was found that the severity of the problem depends on: combinations the patient is taking, duration of exposure, and other medications the patient is using in combination. In this context it was found that 96.7% of patients that developed nephrotoxicity after 18months were using TDF .The results showed a higher frequency of nephrotoxicity in the population of the study. Therefore, a systematic kidney function monitoring from the beginning of the treatment should be of a great importance, those test could help to take appropriate measures.
Adolescent Obesity and Psychiatric Co-Morbidities: A Dire Need for Lifestyle Modifications and Interventions
Authors: Kumar Ranjeet
Published: April 2023

Due to the severity of metabolic dysfunction, obesity raises the incidence of anxiety and depression. Adolescents with depression had a 40% higher risk of being obese, whereas obese adolescents had a 70% higher risk. Overconsumption of sugar and saturated fat in the diet leads to metabolic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and deficits in mental health. Growing data indicates that poor diet, inactivity, and visceral adipose accumulation are the primary causes of the mental effects of obesity. Neuroinflammation is triggered by adipose- and gut-derived inflammation as well as alterations in the nutritional makeup of the brain. Corticolimbic networks that regulate mood, motivation, and emotion are affected by neuroinflammation in terms of their structure, excitability, and connection

Crime has always been a part of people's daily lives, and statistically speaking, the number of crimes has never decreased while continuously increasing. Despite the fact that no one can predict when a crime will occur, this study aims to use spatial and temporal analysis in crime mapping to identify crime patterns and hotspots that will be used by Caloocan Police Substation 03 to determine where and when the police officers should patrol to prevent criminal activity from happening. The researchers have discovered that the police officers find the system useful for keeping their crime data and for establishing their patrolling regions based on the findings of the survey that was done. The findings indicate that using Spatio-Temporal Analysis in a Criminal Incident Recording System can help reduce crime rates in the jurisdiction of Caloocan Police Substation 03.

Using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in a laboratory setting is considered the gold standard in evaluating physiological fitness. This allows sports scientists to not only measure the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2Max) but to get an insight into the overall cardiopulmonary fitness of an athlete. Despite winning the Asian netball cup in 2022 and getting qualified to take part in the netball world cup no such testing has ever been conducted on the national netball pool of Sri Lanka up to this study, leading to lack of physiological norms when determining cut off points in the selection process of the players into the national team. With this background we aim to conduct Physiological testing, using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to establish these benchmarks and norms for physiological fitness for Sri Lankan national netballers.
All 13 members of the 2022 Asia cup winning national netball pool of Sri Lanka, who have participated in at least 10 tournaments/matches within the last 6 months was included in the study. All CPET was conducted in the morning and in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. Bruce protocol will be used to carry out the CPET.
All the netball players who conducted CPET achieved more than 80% of their peak heart rate indicating a maximum effort. Average peak VO2 value of our study was 29 mil/min/kg. The highest VO2 values were obtained by C players and GD players. There was a significant difference of VO2 values between C,GD and GS players. Despite the relatively low overall VO2 max values most of the players apart from GS achieved more than 90% of their predicated VO2 (VO2/kg predicted%) values. GA achieved more than 80% of their predicted VO2. Oxygen delivery to muscle was more than 100% of the predicated among all the players except GS. (C-Centre, GA-Goal Attack, GD-Goal Defence, GK-Goalkeeper, GS-Goal Shooter, WA-Wing Attack, WD-Wing Defence).
Although our sample archived relatively low overall VO2 max values compared to western standards, most of the players apart from GS achieved more than 90% of their predicated VO2 values, with GA achieving more than 80% of their predicted. A statically significant correlation was observed between oxygen delivery to muscle at anaerobic threshold.

La vertiente oriental de las Cumbres Calchaquíes, en la provincia de Tucumán, es un área donde se expandieron amplias y complejas ocupaciones humanas que dieron forma a paisajes aldeanos tempranos. Su estudio arqueológico se ha caracterizado por un heterogéneo conocimiento de distintas localidades. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de investigaciones realizadas por nuestro equipo desde el año 2014, abordando en clave comparativa las configuraciones materiales de la cuenca de Anfama y el valle de La Ciénega, datadas entre los siglos I y VII d.C. El objetivo principal es realizar una síntesis de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo hasta el momento y definir similitudes y particularidades en las maneras de habitar que desarrollaron las poblaciones de los sectores estudiados. Principalmente se analizan tres ejes articuladores: características generales de los paisajes, estructuración de los espacios domésticos y temporalidad.

En este trabajo presentamos el análisis de cuatro contextos de rescates arqueológicos realizados en el sector norte del valle de Lerma en la provincia de Salta y que corresponden a eventos de inhumación de adultos en grandes vasijas. Este tipo de enterratorio tuvo vigencia durante el Período Tardío con continuidad hasta el Período Inca. Los rescates fueron realizados por personal del Museo de Antropología de Salta. El cruce entre los datos de campo y el procesamiento en laboratorio de los materiales permitió generar nueva información sobre las prácticas funerarias de inhumación de adultos a partir de las diversas materialidades que conformaron el acompañamiento mortuorio y los restos óseos humanos.
SOCIO-PEDAGOGIC CONDITIONS OF DESIGN ORIGINATION
Authors: Meliksetyan Gor
Published: April 2023

The article discusses the emergence of design as a profession for the sake of Art and Craft connection. As a means of artistic activity, special schools were guided by teaching methods of design and produced the first graduates. Along with its development, design has not only turned into a separate professional activity, but has also begun to have an influence on the art and design culture altogether. Design, being one of the most important areas of national culture, has always been connected with the aesthetic thought development of the given era. The aforementioned directions of art, creativity, and design, as well as their elements, could not be formed and developed outside the given aesthetic system. Such a high level required an appropriate environment, both in one's own country and in countries connected by certain political and socio-pedagogic ties. Both in the entire cultural and aesthetic system, as well as in design, the successes have been very great when the entire aesthetic and artistic thought has been weighed against already recognized problems. It was only about developing a creative approach to work among students, because for a designer who has to create new drawings almost every day, this is simply necessary (Itten I., Iskusstvo formy, 2004, p. 138). In the content of modern artistic education, a large place is given to the profession of designer, which was the main purpose of this article. Intellectually - constructive thinking, planning is only a “cart” that delivers us to the doors of a new reality (Itten I., Iskusstvo cveta, 2004, p. 58).

Published: April 2023

This article is an attempt to cover the main components of ICTs’-based school management model, with special reference to the respective principles, styles, strategies, competencies, as well as their implementation and application mechanisms. An attempt is made to show how the content and functional characteristics of the mentioned components change during and as a result of the use of ICTs. The use of ICT in schools has become increasingly prevalent, and effective school management requires a comprehensive approach that integrates these tools into all aspects of operations. The article identifies the key components of this model, including communication systems, information management systems, learning management systems, and administrative management systems. The authors explore the benefits and challenges of implementing such a model and provide examples of successful applications. The efficiency of the proposed model is substantiated from the point of view of ensuring the organic connections of its components.

Between 2006 and 2008, 972 Apoidea specimens have been collected that belonged to 93 species. Within the wild bee community the ratio of the Halictus and Lasioglossum species (19,45%), and the Megachile species (23,36%) are significant and also the density of the bumble bees (Bombus species) with 19,65%. During the collection in the years of 1977-78-79, 102 taxa were found in the Kis-Bugac barren. In the samples of six years, 141 species and one variation were shown. Having compared to the samples of 1977-78- 79, the results of the collection conducted 29 years later proved 53 species to be coommon. Faunal similarity of the two periods according to the Jaccard-index is 0,373. The most important community components found were the holomediterranean (24 species) and palearctic (21 species) in the years of 2006-2008. In the years of 1977-1979 the palearctic (33 species) and european (17 species) taxa were the most important fauna elements. According to the climate-tolerance assessment - during both collecting periods - the ratio of the Thermophile species was the most significant. According to the frequency index in the second collecting period, the ratio of the rare and very rare species have increased. In both collecting periods, the most important community component was the medium flying period Apoidea species.
