Authors: Leonov Egor V. , Tuchina Ol'ga D. , Fedotov Il’ya A. , Agibalova Tat’yana V. , Shustov Dmitriy I.
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION: Impaired future thinking (FT) a human ability to imagine and comprehend images and scenarios of the personal future may contribute to the severity of psychoactive substance dependence. Spontaneous mental images of the impacts of using psychoactive substances and/or of one’s own death (‘flash-forwards’), as well as impaired arbitrary modeling of future images (for example, overgeneralization and lack of reflection) interfere with adherence to treatment and stability of remission in addictions.
AIM: To evaluate the influence of FT-activating intervention on treatment outcomes in patients with narcotic psychostimulant dependence.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized prospective controlled clinical trial conducted in 2021–2023 involved 112 inpatients with stimulant dependence (F15.2). Of them, the main group consisted of 56 patients (age 24.0 [21.0; 27.0] years; 30.4% of men), who underwent FT stimulation in the form of semi-structured interview based on the Russian pilot version of the Impact of Future Events Scale (IFES). The control group consisted of 56 patients (age 23.5 [22.0; 26.0] years; 39.3% of men) who received a standard drug addiction conversation of equal duration. The treatment result parameters included the score on the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES); duration of remission, participation in long-term therapy, in outpatient rehabilitation, inpatient rehabilitation, confirmation of the fact of prescheduled discharge, infringement of regime, incarcerations. The test was conducted upon admission and after discharge. Hospitals stay period — 21 days, follow-up period — 6 months.
RESULTS: At the hospitalization stage, the groups did not differ in socio-demographic and main clinical parameters (p 0.05). SOCRATES scores were higher in the control group 49.0 [47.0; 49.0] versus 48.0 [47.0; 49.0] (p = 0.040). At the stage of re-test before discharge, the main group showed an improvement in motivation according to SOCRATES and significantly outperformed the control group: 67.0 [65.3; 68.0] versus 50.0 [48.0; 53.8] points (p 0.001). The main group had a longer duration of remission — 3.3 [0.5; 5.4] months versus 0.5 [0.4; 1.0] months (p = 0.001); fewer prescheduled discharges — 12.5% versus 50.0% (p = 0.001); more frequent visits to long-term therapy — 30.4% versus 8.9% (p = 0.01) and outpatient rehabilitation — 21.4% versus 1.8% (p = 0.001) respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: FT-activating intervention directed to stimulating reflection of anxious and positive aspects of the personal future, contributes to increase in duration of remission in the catamnesis, increases motivation and adherence to treatment in patients with addiction to narcotic psychostimulants.

INTRODUCTION: The move of medical education that requires personal presence for formation of most clinical competencies of a future doctor, to the distance format in the period of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic, has become a challenge. A study of perception of the new education format by students seems important to obtain feedback on the learning process, especially in the time of global pandemics.
AIM: To study the attitude of medical students to the learning process in the period of COVID-19 pandemic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A qualitative cross-sectional observational study was conducted using a questionnaire developed at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the University of Kragujevac Rectorate (Serbia). The survey was conducted online via the anketolog.ru resource. The reference to the survey was posted in the University-Student system. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. A total of 694 students of Sechenov University took part in the survey.
RESULTS: In general, students positively assessed the adaptation of the teachers to the education process in the circumstances concerned, availability of the learning materials, as well as interaction with the teachers, among other things, at exams, noting the flexibility and possibility to more rationally organize their personal time in the distance education format, and also reduce of expenditures in the study process. However, most students believe that online education cannot completely replace the traditional form in terms of obtaining knowledge, especially in acquiring clinical skills, and also note a decrease in motivations and concentration in distance learning, and inconveniences of using the existing online education platform.
CONCLUSION: The research materials can serve as the basis for developing recommendations for improving the online education mechanisms.

Sonic Pedagogies at Border Crossings
Authors: Altuntas Nott Ilayda
Published: December 2024

This article examines soundwalking at the Progreso-Nuevo Progreso International Bridge as an arts-based educational research (ABER) method, specifically through the lens of Sounding Art Practice as Research (SAPAR). By immersing participants in border soundscapes, the study investigates the socio-cultural and political dynamics of the U.S.-Mexico border and their pedagogical implications. Through deep listening, participants explore how sound constructs, disrupts, and reflects borders, offering new sensory-based approaches to art education. The practice emphasizes the role of sound in fostering critical thinking, sensory awareness, and deeper cultural understanding in students. Additionally, it highlights how soundwalking can be used as an ethical and sensitive tool to document the realities of border life without visual exploitation, creating immersive, reflective experiences. The study also incorporates spectrogram analysis, visualizing the harmonic movements between the U.S. and Mexico, further illustrating the complex intersections of sound, identity, and place in borderlands.
Desde la observación individual a la creación colectiva.
Authors: Zarzoso López Pedro J
Published: December 2024

Este estudio presenta una investigación pedagógica basada en dos experiencias docentes desarrolladas en contextos diferenciados, utilizando la deriva y la creación colectiva como metodologías clave. La primera intervención se llevó a cabo en el Paisaje Protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno, en Albarracín, como parte del encuentro internacional EquALL(ING) Erasmus+, mientras que la segunda tuvo lugar en un entorno urbano, en el IES José Manuel Blecua de Zaragoza. En ambos casos, se promovió la creación artística mediante la observación del entorno, la interpretación poética y la recolección de imágenes a través de la fotografía. Este trabajo analiza cómo los procesos de observación individual y colectiva, guiados por la deriva, potencian la percepción sensorial y colaboración creativa entre los participantes. Además, se explora el uso de la cartografía del deambular como una herramienta metodológica para reflexionar sobre la relación entre el espacio, el cuerpo en movimiento y la producción artística colectiva.

Authors: Karanfil Beril , Kocabıyık Orkun
Published: December 2024

Osman Türkay (1927-2001), a celebrated poet of Turkish Cypriot origin, wrote extensively in Turkish and translated some of his works into English, rewriting some of them in that language. His poetic evolution spanned various phases, influenced by mythologies, Eastern philosophies, and Western literary traditions, earning him recognition as a “space-age poet.” During his lifetime, he also showed a tendency to write and publish his poems in English after he migrated to England where he studied philosophy and journalism. This paper explores the poetic production of Osman Türkay through posthumanistic lens, arguing that his works transcend the conventional human/nonhuman binaries, particularly focusing on two poems from his collection “Symphonies for The World”: “Variations of a Theme on Modern Man” and “The Sky-Tree with Branches Hanging on Earth.” Through this perspective, Türkay’s poetic style will be scrutinized and revealed.

Authors: Çoban Kapuoğlu Eda
Published: December 2024

Eğitim insani varoluşun gelişmesi ve toplumsal refahın sağlanması için önemli bir olgudur. Bu manada ilkçağdan günümüze kadar birçok düşünür eğitimi kendi perspektifinden hareketle incelemiştir. Aristoteles’in de eğitim hakkındaki fikirleri mühim bir yer tutmaktadır. O, eğitimi anlatırken bir insanın nasıl yetiştirilmesi gerektiği sorusunu değişik perspektiflerden ele alarak yanıtlamıştır. Buna ek olarak eğitimin amacını, içeriğini, ne şekilde uygulanacağını ve devletin bu konudaki rolünün ne olacağını da ayrıntılı bir biçimde analiz etmiştir. Eğitimi siyaset, etik, sanat gibi alanlarla ilişkilendirmiştir ve eğitimin yalnızca teorik değil pratik bir içeriğinin olduğunu da göstermiştir. Aristoteles’in eğitimle ilgili düşünceleri ve çağdaş eğitim felsefesi konuları arasında benzer noktalar bulunmaktadır. Eğitimin tanımı, amacı, içeriği, devlet ve eğitim ilişkisi gibi konular hem Aristoteles hem de çağdaş eğitim felsefesi tarafından tartışılmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, Aristoteles’in eğitim hakkındaki düşüncelerini analiz etmek; onun fikirlerini yeni bir sınıflandırmaya tabi tutmaktır. Buradan hareketle Aristoteles’in eğitim anlayışı ile çağdaş eğitim felsefesi arasındaki benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları soruşturmaktır.

Code Refactoring for Energy-Saving Distributed Systems: A Data Analytics Approach
Authors: Manikyala Aditya
Published: December 2024

This research uses data analytics and code refactoring to improve distributed system energy usage. The goal is to provide a framework for energy profiling, performance monitoring, and predictive analytics to discover inefficiencies and save energy. Secondary data analysis is used to analyze research and case studies on energy-aware refactoring and distributed computing data analytics. Energy profiling is essential for discovering inefficiencies, while algorithm improvement, intelligent job allocation, and redundancy reduction considerably cut energy use. Predictive analytics allows dynamic energy optimization, and real-time feedback loops optimize energy-saving measures. The report also notes data accuracy, computational overhead, and energy efficiency-system performance balance issues. The policy implications include industry standards, clear guidelines, and government incentives required to disseminate energy-efficient code. By promoting energy-aware refactoring, these rules might create more sustainable and cost-effective distributed systems. This study emphasizes data-driven energy efficiency in distributed systems and advances sustainable computing expertise.
Las consecuencias de la declaración de invalidez de los contratos públicos: Del enriquecimiento a la restitución
Authors: Cano Campos Tomás
Published: December 2024

El trabajo se ocupa de las consecuencias restitutorias de la declaración de invalidez de los contratos públicos y su desplazamiento por el principio del enriquecimiento injusto. Se reivindica, primero, la aplicación de las consecuencias restitutorias de la invalidez que contempla desde siempre nuestra legislación de contratos; se destacan, después, las características de la obligación de restitución de las prestaciones o de su valor; y, por último, se pone de manifiesto que en la contratación pública la restitución in natura constituye la excepción, por lo que el principal problema que se plantea es cómo se determina el valor de la prestación que debe restituir —normalmente— la Administración y si incluye el beneficio industrial y los intereses legales o los de demora.
Comprehensive assessment of the global burden of antimicrobial resistance: Trends and insights from 2000 to 2023
Authors: Alomari Rahim , Abdel-Razeq Ahmed , Shamiah Hamid
Published: December 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the most significant threats to global public health in the 21st century. This comprehensive review synthesizes two decades of data (2000-2023) to assess the evolving landscape of AMR worldwide. We analyzed data from major global surveillance systems, including WHO's GLASS and regional networks, encompassing over 195 countries. The assessment integrated epidemiological data, economic analyses, and environmental factors affecting AMR patterns.
Global surveillance revealed a 65% increase in resistant infections from 2000 to 2023, with mortality rates reaching 4.95 million deaths annually attributed to AMR. Low- and middle-income countries showed resistance rates 3-4 times higher than high-income nations. Economic impact analyses estimated annual global costs at US$100-150 billion, projected to reach US$300 billion by 2030. Age-stratified data showed a 2.5-fold higher risk in elderly populations and a 1.8-fold increase in pediatric cases. Environmental studies identified significant correlations between urbanization (r=0.78, p<0.001) and AMR prevalence. Machine learning models demonstrated 85% accuracy in predicting resistance patterns, while antimicrobial stewardship programs reduced resistance rates by 32% in participating healthcare facilities.
The global burden of AMR demonstrates alarming growth trajectories, particularly in resource-limited settings. Integrated approaches combining technological innovation, policy reform, and international collaboration are essential for effective AMR control. These findings emphasize the urgent need for sustained investment in surveillance, research, and implementation of evidence-based interventions to address this critical public health challenge.

Authors:   Забайкальский государственный университет, Е. В. Дроботушенко
Published: December 2024

В статье ведется речь о малоизвестном труде статс-секретаря, затем действительного статского советника, председателя Государственного совета Анатолия Николаевича Куломзина «Нужды церковного дела на Сибирской дороге и в Забайкалье», написанном в 1898 г. Краткая заметка дает представление о восприятии автором состояния православия в регионе. Составлена она была, скорее всего, во время работы возглавляемой А. Н. Куломзиным комиссии по исследованию землевладения и землепользования в Забайкальской области. Материалы, на наш взгляд, интересны именно наличием субъективной оценки действовавшего в регионе православия, оценкой человека, взглянувшего на происходящее со стороны и поделившегося своим впечатлением.

Orator or Poet? Some Thoughts About the Translation of Feelings in the Art of Violin Playing in the Nineteenth Century
Authors: Suchowiejko Renata
Published: December 2024

The image of the virtuoso violinist as an “orator” was firmly established in the 19th-century musical culture. He possessed all the qualities of a good speaker: he mastered his instrument, could speak in public, and was eloquent and convincing. However, brilliance and eloquence were not everything. The violinist also had to move the audience. This task was facilitated by the instrument itself, which had enormous expressive possibilities.
This article reflects on “translating feelings,” as explained by 19th-century French masters in violin method books, particularly Pierre Baillot (L’Art du violon, Paris, 1834) and Charles de Bériot (Méthode de violon, Paris, 1858). Both consider music to be a language because it has the ability to communicate emotions. They discuss technical means serving this purpose: articulation, bowing, phrasing, fingering, special effects (harmonics, pizzicato, scordatura), as well as ways of transferring vocal technique aspects to violin playing (punctuation, pronunciation, prosody). All these means have a significant impact on the process of translating emotions into sounds.
Translating Emotions in the Modern „Waste Land”: Winterreise at the Turn of the 20th and 21st Centuries
Authors: Tenczyńska Anna
Published: December 2024

The subject of this paper is the process of translating emotions in Podróż zimowa (1994), a cycle of 24 poems by the poet and translator, Stanisław Barańczak. The Polish author wrote them to the music of Franz Schubert, who had previously composed this music to the work of another poet, Wilhelm Müller. In each of these three artefacts – by Müller, Müller-Schubert, Müller-Schubert-Barańczak – a different emotional landscape is created. The comparative analysis of selected aspects of each of them, proposed in the article, is providing the opportunity to examine the exceptionally complex process of translating emotions: from the early romantic poetic text to music of the same era, and from these vocal works – back to a poetic text, almost two hundred years younger. One of the crucial figures we can observe in Podróż zimowa, when read or listened, is irony, both in the poems as well as between them and the Schubert’s music.
Ikonografia muzyczna kościoła pw. św. Mikołaja w Gąsawie
Authors: Sobczak Dariusz
Published: December 2024

Początki świątyni w Gąsawie mogą sięgać I połowy XII stulecia i są związane z opactwem kanoników regularnych laterańskich z Trzemeszna. W latach 1705-1706 wnętrze świątyni pw. św. Mikołaja w Gąsawie zostało bogato ozdobione niezwykłą malarską dekoracją ścienną; jest to ponad 700 m2 barokowej polichromii. Jej program ideowy przedstawia treści religijne, stanowiące swoistego rodzaju katechezę na temat prawd wiary, opisów ewangelicznych, historiografii świętych, moralnego postępowania, a także instrumentarium muzyczne oraz postacie i inskrypcje związane z muzyką niebiańską. Ikonografia muzyczna kościoła jest źródłem i świadectwem kultury polskiej, a sama w sobie prowadzi do głębszych poszukiwań ukrytych treści oraz znaczeń symbolicznych i metaforycznych. Opisanie i odczytanie symboliki malowideł związanych z muzyką było głównym celem niniejszego artykułu. By osiągnąć zamierzony rezultat, posłużono się metodą historyczną, analityczną, ikonograficzną i ikonologiczną.

The snow-trout Schizothorax is a prevalent food fish found in the cold water bodies of Hindukush- Karakoram- Himalayan mountains/foothills and is one of the major sources of animal protein. During the past decade, there has been a rapid fall in the Schizothoracine population due to climate change with unrestricted urbanization and other anthropogenic interventions. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the annual gonadal development in these fish taxa becomes critically essential for designing appropriate/suitable conservation strategies. Like most freshwater teleosts, hill-stream fishes are typical seasonal breeders. In the current study, the season-dependent developmental gene expression was examined in adult S. plagiostomus gonads (both testes and ovaries) obtained from a natural habitat at Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. A total of six putative genes (three testicular and three ovarian) were investigated in three different developmental stages, keeping the β-actin gene as the endogenous reference. Our data suggested that Dmrt1 and Gdnfr-α mRNAs were highly elevated during the pre-spawning stage, gradually down-regulated during the spawning stage, and almost undetectable at the post-spawning stage. However, in contrast, Fgf11 was found to be augmented during the spawning stage. On the contrary, Foxl2 and Runx1 transcripts were elevated during pre-spawning and spawning stages compared to those found during post-spawning stages. Finally, Gdf9 mRNA was found to be maximal at the pre-spawning stage and subsequently diminished during the spawning stages. This is the first comparative gonadal transcriptomic data showing the season-dependent developmental gene expressions critically regulating the optimal gametogenic drive/output in any Schizothoracine fish. This study provides fundamental information regarding the gonadal biology of Schizothorax, which will be supportive of designing suitable artificial breeding/conservation programs for this species in the future.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a multisystemic disorder that is strongly associated with comorbid factors such as insulin resistance and obesity. PCOS women with high androgen levels are known to potently regulate insulin metabolism and increase the risk of type 2 Diabetes. Several diabetic biomarkers have been implicated, but how these biomarkers correlate with each other and the mechanistic pathways involved are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims to comprehend the correlation and various pathways through which these key regulators interact with each other to regulate the PCOS-diabetes-obesity network. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including 76 controls and 67 PCOS subjects. Plasma levels of 10 different diabetic and obesity biomarkers were measured by multiplex beads assay. Further, statistical correlation analysis and GOnet network prediction were done to understand the specific pathways altered in PCOS conditions. The levels of five biomarkers (ghrelin, C-peptide, insulin, and adipokines (leptin, and visfatin) were significantly changed in PCOS subjects. Regression and correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between ghrelin, C-peptide, insulin, leptin, visfatin, and high testosterone. Finally, GOnet network analysis revealed various processes and pathways including altered glucose metabolism, inflammatory response, cytokines production, regulation of stress, defective nitric oxide regulation, and impaired circadian rhythm. Our findings indicate intertwined metabolic-physiological-inflammatory complications in the pathogenesis of PCOS, highlighting the comorbidities between PCOS pathogenesis, diabetes, obesity, and inflammation.

Melatonin, a neurohormone, improves hepatic function in diet and/or chronodisruption in Metabolic dysfunction Associated with Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). Nocturnin (Noct), a circadian clock output gene, putatively regulates hepatic lipid metabolism but the underlying mechanisms related to its regulation remain largely unknown. Herein, we hypothesise that melatonin-mediated improvement in liver function in MASLD is regulated via Noct and this study delves into Noct as a putative target of melatonin. Molecular docking studies (Autodock, Pyrx and PyMol) confirmed interactions between melatonin and mouse Noct (Binding affinity: -7kcal/mol; RMSD: 0). Further, studies on C57BL/6J mice comprised of experimental groups viz. high-fat-high-fructose (H) diet fed, photoperiodic shifts-induced chronodisruption (CD) or a combination of the two (HCD) wherein melatonin-mediated improvements in serum lipid profile (TGs, total lipids, VLDL-chol., LDL-chol. and total cholesterol) and liver function markers (ALT and AST) were recorded. Further, the fatty manifestations, hepatocyte ballooning, and steatotic score were significantly improved following exogenous melatonin. Likewise, the liver samples of H, CD and HCD mice recorded a marked increment in hepatic Noct mRNA expression whereas melatonin administration accounted for a significant improvement in the said expression. These findings were further validated in vitro in HepG2 cells treated with Oleic Acid (OA) cells wherein, melatonin supplementation improved Noct mRNA and protein expressions compared to the disease control. Taken together, this study provides insight into melatonin-mediated modulation in hepatic Noct that correlates with improved hepatic health in experimental models of MASLD.

Authors: STEFFEN MUNSBERG JOÃO ALBERTO , Fuchs Henri Luiz
Published: December 2024

Resumo: Este artigo objetiva analisar a formação docente e discente na perspectiva decolonial, a partir de duas pesquisas desenvolvidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade La Salle. Uma pesquisa tinha como objetivo geral investigar experiências instituintes de currículos de Pedagogia em instituições de ensino superior da América Latina (Abya Yala) sob a perspectiva decolonial. Outra, analisar as potencialidades do Ensino Médio Politécnico como proposta pedagógica inscrita na perspectiva da educação intercultural decolonizadora. Quanto à metodologia, neste texto realizamos análise documental das duas teses, estabelecendo diálogos sobre elementos pertinentes ao objetivo. A análise aponta como principais resultados: a) a construção de projetos pedagógicos decoloniais requer atitude crítica, intercultural e participativa; b) propostas de formação docente decolonial implicam organização da comunidade, pesquisa participante, interculturalidade, trans/inter/disciplinaridade, docência e metodologia dialógica horizontal; e c) a proposta pedagógica do Ensino Médio Politécnico tem foco no protagonismo juvenil, preparando as juventudes para compreender, intervir, transformar e mudar a realidade em que vivem.  Em efeito, concluímos que: a) um currículo de formação docente decolonial parte dos fundamentos e princípios epistemológicos outros produzidos por meio de pesquisa participante enraizada na Mãe-Terra; b) o currículo decolonial busca a emancipação dos sujeitos, mediante uma formação outra fundamentada em experiências de povos e culturas que convivem na interculturalidade e pluriversalidade; e c) a proposta pedagógica do Ensino Médio Politécnico tem potencial para ser implementada na perspectiva da educação intercultural decolonizadora, formando cidadãos críticos e ativistas em busca de um mundo de vida boa, digna e justa para todos.

Authors: Da Silva Márcia Regina
Published: December 2024

Resumo: O artigo tem como objetivo discutir a importância dos saberes da experiência para a constituição da profissão docente e, consequentemente, para um ensino que resulte em aprendizagem significativa, a partir do entendimento de docentes que atuam no Curso Normal em uma escola pública do Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa e descritiva, que apresenta os resultados de uma tese de doutorado, a qual, em um estudo de caso e por meio de observações e grupo focal, ouviu docentes de uma escola pública do Curso Normal em Nível Médio sobre os elementos indispensáveis para um curso de formação inicial que valoriza o saber da experiência para uma cultura de profissionalização. A hermenêutica interpretativa norteou a análise realizada nesta pesquisa. Os resultados mostram que a constituição dos saberes da experiência se forja a partir da combinação entre os campos empírico e teórico, fundamental para a constituição da profissão docente e, consequentemente, para que a docência possa provocar uma aprendizagem significativa. Essa relação se efetiva a partir da possibilidade de compartilhamento de conhecimentos, crescimento conjunto e amadurecimento profissional, o que contribui para a construção de uma formação crítica, que se baseia na busca constante pelo crescimento e pela própria profissionalização. Nessa perspectiva, ensinar e aprender serão sempre propostas desafiadoras, que impactarão no desenvolvimento humano de todos aqueles que fazem parte do processo educativo.

Authors: Maria Elisa Schuck Medeiros
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo sobre a implementação dos itinerários formativos do Novo Ensino Médio na Rede La Salle emerge de inquietações relacionadas à necessidade de atender às disposições da Lei 13.415/17. O objetivo central foi investigar o processo de implantação desses itinerários, analisando os desafios enfrentados pela docência. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia de Grupo Focal, que favoreceu a interação com professores da Rede La Salle, e os dados obtidos foram tratados por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva. O estudo visou mapear tanto as experiências exitosas quanto os aspectos que demandam aprimoramento no processo de implementação da proposta. Foram identificados fatores cruciais que impactam a prática docente, com destaque para a formação continuada, a metodologia empregada e os processos avaliativos. Neste artigo, aborda-se uma das categorias de análise da tese de doutorado, com foco nos entrelaçamentos entre a ação docente e as vivências dos professores durante a transição para o Novo Ensino Médio. Como  aporte  teórico utilizou-se  Nóvoa  (2017),   Tardif  (2014),  Freire  (1992),  Libâneo  (1992),  Pimenta (2000) e Zabala (1998). Os relatos evidenciam que, em algumas situações, as ações propostas pelas escolas não contemplaram plenamente as necessidades dos professores. Ressalta-se a importância de uma formação continuada que articule teoria e prática, promovendo espaços para a troca de experiências entre os docentes. Esses espaços colaborativos constituem uma base essencial para a construção do saber, permitindo que os professores ressignifiquem suas práticas e se apropriem de maneira significativa das mudanças pedagógicas impostas pela nova legislação.

Shown that the rout of reaction of 2-ethoxycarbonyl-4,4-disubstituted-4-butanolide with hydrazine hydrate at soft conditions (45─50 ᵒC) strongly depends on the substituents on position 2 of butanolide cycle. The effect of substituents on the mechanism of above-mentioned reaction and yields of products has been investigated. Obvious that, dihydrazides of substituted malonic acid are produced when R3=H, whereas in the case of alkyl substituted butanolides intramolecular cyclization of intermediate occurs at the same conditions and as a result 4,4-disubstituted pyrazolidine-3,5-diones are produced. We studied physicochemical properties including antioxidant activity of the prepared compounds. The UV-Vis absorption spectroscopic studies reveal the effect of substituents on both absorption wavelength and molar absorption coefficient. From the spectra the transition type was determined. From dynamic light scattering measurements the mean hydrodynamic diameters of synthesized molecules is also determined. The antioxidant activity of malonic acid derivatives is studied using competitive reaction between hydroxyl radicals and free radical target p-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline. The rate constant between derivatives of malonic acid and hydroxyl radicals was determined and the results were compared with those of vitamin C.

The aim of the study was to synthesize a magnetic composite based on vermiculite and to evaluate its physicochemical properties and adsorption capacity. An increase in the content of Fe (III) in the composition of clay and the inversion for the sign of the charge of vermiculite particles accompanies the formation of the composite. Introducing magnetite particles into the vermiculite structure is substantiated by the appearance of its diffractogram of 2θ angle values characteristic of magnetite. On the FTIR spectrum of clay after the synthesis of magnetite a new absorption band appears at a vibrational frequency of 1404 cm–1, attributed to the Fe–O bond of magnetite, and the position of peaks in the interval 797–602 cm–1. The adsorption capacity of the vermiculite-magnetite composite was evaluated by the adsorption of methylene blue on it. Processing of adsorption data according to Langmuir and Freundlich showed that the maximum adsorption of methylene blue on the surface of vermiculite-magnetite composite is 113.64 mg/g. The constant 1/n has a value less than 1.0, showing the high affinity of dye molecules to the composite surface. These results show that vermiculite-magnetite composite has a significant potential for use as a sorbent in the treatment of wastewater from oil, organic pollutants, as well as carriers of drugs.
