Published: March 2023

Three irrigation treatments were set up in northeast China to investigate soil water movement and root water uptake of greenhouse tomatoes, and the collected experimental data were simulated by HYDRUS-2D. The computation and partitioning of evapotranspiration data into soil evaporation and crop transpiration was carried out with the double-crop coefficient method. The HYDRUS-2D model successfully simulated the soil water movement, producing RMSE ranging from 0.014 to 0.027, an MRE ranging from 0.062 to 0.126, and R2 ranging from 79% to 92%, when comparing model simulations with two-year field measurements. Under different water treatments, 83–90% of the total root quantity was concentrated in 0–20 cm soil layer, and the more the water deficit, the more water the deeper roots will absorb to compensate for the lack of water at the surface. The average area of soil water shortage in W1 was 2.08 times that in W2. W3 treatment hardly suffered from water stress. In the model, parameter n had the highest sensitivity compared with parameters α and Ks, and sensitivity ranking was n > Ks > α. This research revealed the relationships between soil, crop and water under drip irrigation of greenhouse tomatoes, and parameter sensitivity analysis could guide the key parameter adjustment and improve the simulation efficiency of the model.

Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to review the phenomenon of vitality according to various scientific theories; to analyze the possible causes of exhaustion and increase the vital energy of the individual; to analyze the results of an experimental study aimed at research of the psychological features of vitality on the example of parachute sports and yoga practice representatives; to describe the studied types of activity on the level of subjective well-being influence mechanism; to develop general recommendations for maintaining a person’s vital energy at a favorable level.

The following methods were used. From the group of empirical methods: psychodiagnostic method (tests); from the group of methods of data analysis (processing): qualitative and quantitative analysis of the obtained results, methods of computer processing of experimental data. The method of subjective and dispositional vitality research of R. Ryan and K. Frederick was used. 270 respondents aged 22 to 50 took part in the study, among them 90 representatives of yoga practice, 90 representatives of parachute sports and 90 respondents of the control group. Empirical research was carried out on the basis of: Yoga Studio «Symmetry» and Yoga and Music Festival «Avatar»; JSC «Avia-Soyuz» DZ «Mayske».

A theoretical analysis of the subjective vitality as a psychological phenomenon is presented; its features from the point of view of various interpretations are highlighted. The psychological and physiological factors of increasing vital energy were analyzed and the reasons for its depletion were considered. An analysis of the conducted empirical research results was carried out, the purpose of which was to experimentally investigate the psychological features of subjective well-being among representatives of the practice of yoga and parachuting. The mechanism of the researched types of activity on the level of human vital energy influence is substantiated.

As a result of the conducted research, a high level of subjective well-being as a state and dispositional well-being as a personal quality was determined in representatives of yoga practice and representatives of parachuting sports. A comparative analysis of the results with the indicators of the control group was carried out, which indicates a direct positive effect of the yoga practice and parachuting on the general level of vital energy of the individual. It was determined that the parachutist’s level of subjective well-being decreases at the end of the jump season. Special general recommendations for maintaining the investigated indicator at a favorable level have been developed.

Key words: vitality, vital energy, personal potential, subjective well-being, yoga, meditation, parachuting, extreme.
PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF IMAGINATION IN SCHIZOPHRENIA SPECTRUM DISORDERS AS A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCESSES AND RECOVERY STRATEGIES
Authors: Pushko Ye.
Published: March 2023

Although imagination abnormalities are frequent and handicapping in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs), psychopathology lacks a conceptual framework for modeling imagination disorders. Recently, in connection with the “imaginary turn” in phenomenology, translational approaches between philosophy and psychopathology have been sought. The purpose of the article is the presentation and analysis of modern foreign phenomenological studies of imagination in SSDs by a group of researchers headed by A. Rasmussen and J. Parnas, for the possible implementation of the results in domestic practice. The author first examines the features of anomalous fantasy and imagination in SSDs from the phenomenological point of view and then presents an overview of the EAFI instrument for a semistructured, phenomenological study of anomalous fantasy and imagination through interviews. Then the author analyzes the theoretical and practical implications of such research for understanding psychotherapeutic processes and recovery strategies. The studied disorders of imagination are characterized by three phenomenological dimensions: 1) perceptualization of imagery: the experience acquires certain quasi-perceptual qualities, such as spatialization, spatiotemporal constancy and explorabilty; 2) autonomization of imagery with a quasi-involuntary flow and a sense of empirical distance between the conscious image and the sense of agency; and 3) erosion of irreality: whereas the imagination is normally lived with an ever-present character of unreality, people with SSDs can experience vivid imagery without a clear separation with the real world. Rasmussen et al. not only describe clinical experience, they also offer a conceptual model of imagination disorders as expressions of minimal self-disorders (disorders of ipseity). The researchers hypothesize that impaired ipseity itself is the core generative disorder of schizophrenia, and positive/negative symptoms derive from this core phenotype. Thus, imagination is understood as a mental domain that affects the underlying disorder, meaning that imagination has the same status as all other modes of intentional consciousness (such as perception or memory). T. Gozé and I. Fazakas go further and suggest a phenomenological distinction between fantasy and imagination, which resembles the distinction between body schema and body image.

Published: March 2023

Introdução. A sequela mais comum do Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) é a hemiparesia, caracterizada por diversas alterações motoras, sensitivas e cognitivas. A fisioterapia é fundamental para o cuidado desses indivíduos, que dispõe de opções terapêuticas como o conceito Neuroevolutivo Bobath. Objetivo. Realizar um levantamento da literatura sobre as contribuições do método Bobath na reabilitação da hemiparesia no AVC. Método. Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nos bancos de dados PUBMED, Sistema Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO) e Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Foram incluídos artigos experimentais publicados nos últimos 10 anos, disponíveis na íntegra, nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, que se referiam à hemiparesia ou às funções associadas e que usaram o método Bobath como forma de tratamento, isoladamente ou associado a outras terapias. Resultados. Dez estudos foram considerados elegíveis. Foi possível identificar que a utilização do método Bobath esteve relacionada ao ganho de funcionalidade, como velocidade e qualidade da marcha, movimento e força muscular, mas não foi mais eficaz que outros métodos na melhora da cognição, propriocepção e equilíbrio sensorial e funcional. Conclusão. A escolha dos protocolos dependeu das condições de cada paciente, mas verificou-se que o aumento do tempo e intensidade dos treinamentos está associado a melhores desfechos, assim como o seguimento dos exercícios após a alta. Sugere-se a realização de novos estudos experimentais com amostras significativas que utilizem apenas o Bobath, para que se produzam evidências de maior qualidade.
Anti-gender Politics in Queer Times:
Authors: Madsen Evang Jenny Andrine
Published: March 2023

In the last few decades, much of queer theory and sexuality studies has been engaged in analyzing and resisting the – often partial and exclusionary – assimilation of queer subjects into the cultural and economic fabric of the nation-state. As illiberal anti-gender rhetoric and politics (re)surface across Europe, it might seem as though queer theory ought to reconsider its critiques of queer liberalism and homonationalism – in the face of neo-fascist threats and LGBT-free zones, recourse to liberal ideals of human rights and national acceptance may assume increasing credibility and even urgency. But can anti-gender politics really be so neatly opposed to “progressive” values of gender equality and gay rights, as supposedly modeled by Nordic countries? This article seeks to complicate this apparent opposition between anti-gender politics and homonationalist rhetoric by tracing the racist and nationalist tendencies that transverse both projects. I argue that not only does the homonationalism or anti-gender politics binary disintegrate under scrutiny, but the binary framing itself works to further narratives of national exceptionalism that are parasitic upon, and reproduce, racialized exclusions. In particular, I rethink Norwegian homonationalism as a neoliberal assemblage in light of contemporary anti-gender rhetoric and policies, so as to understand how homonationalism and anti-gender politics not only coexist, but co-constitute each other in these times which are at once profoundly queer and deeply homophobic.

Detection of Hemodialysis Venous Needle Dislodgment Using Venous Access Pressure Measurements: A Simulation Study
Authors: Frinak Stanley , Kennedy John , Zasuwa Gerard , Passalacqua Karla D. , Yee Jerry
Published: March 2023

Key Points

Hemodialysis machine pressure alarms may not detect venous needle dislodgment when patients have changes in venous pressure.

A cross-sectional analysis of hemodialysis treatment data identified the occurrences of venous pressure changes that would make it hard to trigger a machine alarm.

A proof-of-concept use of a data analytic–derived algorithm for the detection of venous needle dislodgments was demonstrated.

Background:

In rare instances, hemodialysis venous needles may become dislodged, and when left undetected, this can lead to severe injury or death. Although dialysis machines have alarms to detect venous needle dislodgment (VND), their range of detection is limited. An understanding of the clinical conditions that may lead to missed needle dislodgments is needed for the development of more robust detection systems.

Methods:

We created a sham dialysis circuit with a Fresenius 2008K dialysis machine for in vitro simulation testing of machine alarm behavior under variable conditions. The circuit used a blood substitute and mimicked a patient's venous access site. We varied blood flow rate, venous pressure (VP), and upward drift in VP and analyzed the time to alarm for the machine and an improved alarm algorithm. We also performed a cross-sectional retrospective study to identify the clinical occurrence of VP upward drift between September 1, 2016, and November 1, 2016, in patients on hemodialysis with an arteriovenous fistula.

Results:

Of 43,390 VP readings for 147 patients on hemodialysis, 16,594 (38%) showed an upward drift in VP (range 20–79 mmHg), with a mean±SD increase of 11±18 mm Hg within 20±14 minutes. A total of 19 VND simulations under different VP and blood flow parameters resulted in 19 (100%) algorithm alarm activations. Only eight simulations (42%) activated a machine alarm, and machine alarm activation time was longer than the algorithm activation time for all eight machine alarms (range 1–13 seconds).

Conclusions:

Patients can experience changes in VP during hemodialysis which may not trigger a machine alarm in the case of a VND. Our simulations showed that current dialysis machine alarm systems may not compensate for upward drift in VP, and improved algorithms for detecting needle dislodgment during hemodialysis are needed.

В ходе работы по созданию оптимального диагностического алгоритма для выявления множественной миеломы (ММ) и мониторинга ее терапии нами была проведена оценка эффективности использования цитогенетических исследований при диагностике и терапии ММ. Был проведен анализ 115 случаев ММ по результатам цитогенетического и цитологического исследований. Выявлено, что генетические нарушения имели место в 82,6% случаев ММ, а количество плазмоцитов в миелограмме могло иметь тенденцию к увеличению в зависимости от повышения сформированной цитогенетическим исследованием группы риска. Использование цитогенетического анализа и прогностическая стратификация на его основе признаны важными для создания алгоритма комплексной диагностики ММ. Показана необходимость цитогенетического анализа и анализа фенотипических особенностей клеток костного мозга в комплексной иммунохимической диагностике ММ и ее роль в скрининговых, мониторинговых и прогностических направлениях диагностики парапротеинемий.

In the course of work on the creation of an optimal diagnostic algorithm for the detection of multiple myeloma (MM) and monitoring of its therapy, we evaluated the effectiveness of the use of cytogenetic studies in the diagnosis and therapy of MM. MM 115 cases were analyzed based on the results of cytogenetic and cytological studies. It was revealed that genetic disorders occurred in 82.6% of MM cases, and the number of plasmocytes in the myelogram could tend to increase depending on the increase in the risk group formed by cytogenetic research. The use of cytogenetic analysis and prognostic stratification based on it are recognized as important for the creation of an algorithm for the complex diagnosis of MM. The necessity of cytogenetic analysis and phenotypic features of bone marrow cells in the complex immunochemical diagnosis of MM and its role in screening, monitoring and prognostic directions for the diagnosis of paraproteinemia is shown.

The mechanisms of formation of male infertility are increasingly becoming immune dependent. This study aims to study the role of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in seminal fluid to clarify their role in spermatogenesis. This research is carried out at rheumatology and urology departments of Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University (Ukraine). 45 infertile men aged 22–48 were examined. They were divided into 2 groups: first group – 22 men with a systemic autoimmune disease – rheumatoid arthritis; second group – 23 somatically healthy patients with idiopathic infertility. The control group included 27 fertile healthy men aged 22–48 years. Student's t-test was used to compare the significant difference in mean values between groups. Patients with autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis) had the highest rate of leukocytospermia, indicating a possible long-term inflammatory process. The TGF-β1 level was higher in men with idiopathic infertility, and in patients with autoimmune pathology was reduced compared to the control group, however these changes were not significant. At the same time in patient of both group the level a pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18 increased approximately by 2.5 times. In patients with idiopathic infertility and patients with autoimmune pathology, a simultaneous increase in the IFN-γ level and a decrease in the IL-1β level were found. The ІL-6 level in seminal plasma of infertile men of both groups was increased. The ratio IL-10/TNF-α was decreased in seminal plasma of infertile men with rheumatoid arthritis. It was found that in autoimmune pathology, the increased level of IL-1β in blood serum compared to controls was associated with its reduced level in seminal fluid (r=-0.51, p<0.05). In idiopathic infertility, a low level of IL-1β in seminal fluid was also associated with a low concentration of this cytokine in blood serum (r=0.62, p<0.05). The functioning of the immune and reproductive systems of the male body is closely related and interdependent. Disorders of immune reactivity, which accompany the development of autoimmune pathology associated with disorders of reproductive function in men. The largest number of deviations of immune reactivity was found in infertile men with concomitant autoimmune diseases.

BERTOLT BRECHT AND SLOBODAN SCHNEIDER: WAR. RELIGION. WOMAN. THEATER
Authors: Bondareva O.
Published: March 2023

Global issues fixed in the diachrony of world culture by the concept of "war", as well as modern methods of its aesthetic interpretation, are seen today as extremely promising for Ukrainian literary studies, which is now actively rethinking how and through which models the artistic representation of modern military events should take place and their reflection in experience/living.

The article offers a comparative literary analysis of B. Brecht's plays "Mother Courage and Her Children" and S. Schneider's "Snake Skin", in which, in the setting of the Thirty Years' War in Europe of the 17th century. contains deep ethical and philosophical reflections on the war as such and aesthetic reflections of two outstanding European playwrights on the war events of which they became contemporaries.

If B. Brecht’s play has many literary interpretations, including in Ukraine, S.Schneider’s play is being interpreted by Ukrainian literary studies for the first time. The intentions and artistic resources of both texts are compared through the conceptual series War – Religion – Woman – Theatre. In interpretation B. Brecht’s war is horizontal-processual and geographically dispersed, in S. Schneider’s she is cyclical and permanent, localized in a closed topographical and mythological space.

It is illustrated how playwrights conduct a dialogue with the world cultural tradition regarding religion/faith as a factor in modern war, the peculiarities of female figurative potential and female (not)subjectivity in aesthetic interpretations of war belonging to the 20th century are revealed, B. Brecht’s "epic theater" is compared and S. Schneider’s symbolic and allegorical theater. The study complements the problematic field of modern humanitarian reflections, activated by Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine in February 2022.
MEANS OF CREATING THE COMIC IN B. BRECHT'S NOVEL "THE BUSINESS AFFAIRS OF MR JULIUS CAESAR"
Authors: Pryshchepa O.
Published: March 2023

In the article, the author makes an attempt to identify the laughter types and to give them a literary characteristic, as well as to determine the means used for their creation in order to explain the artistic nature of the comic, being a peculiarity of this work of the outstanding German writer. The research is based on the original text and its Ukrainian translation. The theoretical considerations rely on the analysis of existing in modern literary studies statements regarding the artistic features of B. Brecht's work, in particular regarding the properties of his laughter, which is often outlined by researchers as an artistic trope that performs the function of expressing the artwork idea. The author of the article substantiates and illustrates her reflections with relevant quotations from the text of the novel. Since the laughter in this work actually has an ideological basis, the peculiarities of the embodiment of the work idea with the help of artistic figures, which in their essence are varieties of the comic, are paid a special attention to. B. Brecht builds the ideological background of the novel by means of characters’ remarks and thoughts, action, plot, as well as at the level of artistic images, the descriptions of nature in particular. Despite the incompleteness of this novel, its idea is clearly outlined by B. Brecht. It is developed with the help of various laughter types - from hidden irony and humour to grotesque and caustic satire and, according to researchers, sometimes to sarcasm and sardonic laughter. The author of the article proves the evolving nature of laughter in B. Brecht's novel "The Business Affairs of Mr Julius Caesar" and also makes an assumption: under the condition of this work completeness, laughter would have undergone new alterations and transformations and, at the end of the story, it would have potentially reached its apogee. On the plot level it would coincide with the moment of the final debunking of the myths about Caesar, in whose image one can read a satire on the mercantile, corrupt world and dirty politics drenched in money. Another peculiarity of the ideological background of this satirical novel is the fact that despite the tragic nature of any war (the novel deals with various wars waged by the Romans), B. Brecht finds artistic means to ridicule even the war and everything occurring around it. He also completely destroys created by historiography myths about great conquests and great conquerors, nullifying the pathos in which the narratives of historiographical sources about Rome and its rulers are shrouded. He shows in particular the conquerors’ baseness and at the same time does not deviate from the comic register of his story.
ANATOMICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE EVOLUTIONARY MORPHOLOGY OF THE SPINAL NODES OF VERTEBRATES ANIMALIUM
Authors: Horalskyi L. , Sokulskiy I. , Kolesnik N. , Pavliuchenko О. , Shevchuk S.
Published: March 2023

Using anatomical, histological, neurohistological and morphological research methods, the histomorphology of spinal cord nodes in a comparative anatomical series of vertebrates: bony fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, which differ in their motor activity and their place of existence in a certain environment, was clarified in the work. It has been established that in the process of phylogenesis, a certain structural and morphofunctional reorganization of the spinal nodes occurs. They differ in shape and size. Adaptation to various living conditions of animals was formed on the basis of changes in the density and size of neurocytes, an increase in the total number of gliocytes and perineuralneglia cells, and polymorphism in the degree of chromatophilia.

Thus, according to neurohistological studies, it has been noted that the neurons of the spinal cord nodes of cold-blooded animals (pond frog, pond lizard) are characterized by a functional degree of relative polymorphism – chromatophilia.

Impregnation of spinal cord nodes with silver nitrate in all studied animals revealed different intensity of staining of nerve cells (light, light-dark, dark), which is related to the specifics of species and age-related neuromorphology, the morpho-functional state of the nervous system and the type of higher nervous activity.

An important issue of modern neuromorphology of animals is the  study  of  spinal  cord nodes,  which play an important role as primary centers on the way to transmit sensory information from receptors to the central nervous system, providing appropriate reactions to the action of certain factors. The scientific article uses material that is a fragment of the research work of the adjacent departments "Development, morphology and histochemistry of  animal  organs in normal  and pathological conditions", state registration number – 0120U100796.

The obtained results of the research have an important general biological significance, which complements and expands the idea of certain regularities of spinal nodes,  which relate  to  their structural organization and comparative characteristics at the cellular and tissue levels in vertebrate animals of various species.

The article analyzes the main recreational resources (objects of the  natural  and  historical  and cultural environment) of the national natural parks in Eastern Poliss: Desnyansko-Starogutsky, Mezinsky, Dniprovsky-Desnyansky and Zalіss. Near the  boundaries  of  the  parks  there  are  wide typical and unique landscapes of the Chernigiv Polis and Novgorod-Siverskiy Polis.  Among  the historical and cultural recreational resources, important architectural objects deserve respect: the Paleolithic site of the first people (Mezinsky NPP), the remnants of the settlement of Milogradivska culture dated VII-I Art. BC (NPP "Zalіssya"); architectural objects: churches of the ХІІІ- ХІХ centuries and others.

On the territory of the National Park, ecological paths, routes (automobile, bicycle, hiking) are designated, which give the opportunity to get to know the nature. It has been established that the most important types of tourism in NNP EasternPolissya are recreational and educational (for the method), cycling, automobile, pedestrian, water (for the transfer method). To assess the possibilities of organizing a weekend day, an assessment of 100-kilometer accessibility behind the main highways to the territory of NPP Eastern Polissya for the additional Google Earth Pro service was made. It has been established that the 100-kilometer accessibility zone of NPP "Zalissya" and RLP "Mіzhrichinsky" (designed by NPP "Dniprovsko-Desnyansk Mіzhrichchya") consume millions of places - the capital of Ukraine - Kiev. This promotes the recreational privatility of these NPPs. Further direct can be the development of recreational and health tourism, weekend tours, expansion of the transfer of services, which can be applied by national natural parks.
SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF NANODISPERSED LUMINESCENT STRUCTURES BASED ON LANTHANUM FLUORIDE FOR OPTOPHARMACOLOGY AND PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY
Authors: Kusiak A.
Published: March 2023

Nanocrystalline lanthanum fluoride of hexagonal syngonium and terbium-activated lanthanum fluoride were synthesized. The structural characteristics of the synthesized samples were investigated by XRD, TEM, FTIR, PCS methods. The colloidal stability of the suspensions and the acid-base characteristics of the surface were evaluated in the environment of physiological solution.

Substitution of La ions by Tb ions in LaF3:Tb samples does not lead to a significant distortion of the crystal structure, but it significantly affects the dimensional characteristics, specific surface area, charge and acid-base characteristics.

The given data indicate the perspective of research of nanodispersed phosphors based on lanthanum fl uoride for use in optopharmacology and photodynamic therapy of tumor diseases localized in the organ s of the skull and bone tissues. In addition, research results can be useful for technical applications, in particular, in the creation of fluorescent detectors of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, development of photo- and optoelectronic devices, etc.
A NEWDISCOVERYOF SPARASSIS CRISPA (WULFEN) FR 1821 ON THE TERRITORY OF THE SLOVIANSKO-OVRUCH RIDGE
Authors: Nykonchuk Ye. , Kostiuk V. , Khomiak A.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the study of a new locality (Sparassis crispa) in the territory of the Slovak-Ovrutsky Range. The mushroom is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and is under threat of extinction due to the growing interest in it as an object of cooking and medicine. To achieve the goal of the research, the following tasks were set: to describe the phytocenosis within which S. crispa is located and its floral environment, as well as to propose measures for its protection. The location of S. crispa is reforestation at the site of felling. The tree layer is dominated by young individuals of Pinus sylvestris L. (75-90%) with the participation of Betula pendula Roth. (20-50%). Frangula alnus Mill sometimes occurs in the undergrowth. Grass cover is sparse – up to 15%. Here, the mosses Dicranum polysetum, Dicranum scoparium, Polytrichum juniperinum and Pleurozium schreberi prevail. Festuca ovina, Lycopodium clavatum and Melampyrum pratense are occasionally found. According to the results of the synphytoindicative analysis, it was established that the environmental conditions correspond to moderately rich forests of Polissia, which belong to the Dicrano-Pinion union. The perennial wetting regime is slightly higher than the average values for the Dicrano-Pinetum association and approaches the Molinio-Pinetum association. Indicators of natural dynamics (ST=12.72 points) correspond to the transition from derived to young native forests. The level of anthropogenic transformation (HE=5.29 points) corresponds to natural oligohemerobic forests. So, despite the felling that was carried out here several years ago, the mushroom is still placed in conditions that are not subject to constant anthropogenic pressure. The phytocenosis in which Sparassis crispa is placed is the Dicrano-Pinetum association, Vaccinio-Piceetea class, Pinetalia sylvestris order, Dicrano-Pinion union. Since the "Prybytocky" hydrological reserve of local importance is being planned next to the location of the Sparassis crispa mushroom, it is expedient to include this territory in the projected PZF object.

Antecedentes: la prevalencia global de sobrepeso y obesidad en escolares ha aumentado drásticamente. 
Objetivo: evaluar el impacto de una intervención educativa en la variabilidad alimentaria de los cuidadores de niños con obesidad y sobrepeso, utilizando la herramienta “Mi Plato”.
Métodos: estudio descriptivo y longitudinal con 60 cuidadores de niños con obesidad y sobrepeso. El estudio comprendió tres etapas: 1. Determinación de la variabilidad dietética basal; 2. Intervención educativa basada en la herramienta “Mi Plato”; 3. Evaluación de la variabilidad dietética posintervención. En el análisis de las variables cuantitativas se aplicaron la media, la mediana y la desviación estándar. La distribución de los datos se evaluó mediante la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk y para la homogeneidad de la varianza se dispuso la prueba de Levene. En el análisis de la diferencia de las medias se empleó la T de Student y se consideró una significancia estadística ≤ 0,05. El programa estadístico empleado fue SPSS v15.00.
Resultados: la variabilidad dietética aumentó luego de la intervención educativa, p < 0,001. El promedio de la variabilidad dietética global antes de la intervención de 8,2 fue menor que el de la posintervención de 9,8, con un 95 % de confianza (valor de p < 0,001). 
Conclusiones: se comprobó que la intervención educativa con la herramienta “Mi Plato” en los cuidadores de niños en condición de obesidad y sobrepeso mejora la variabilidad dietética.
Resilience pathways and help-seeking preferences for Ontario police services

Despite the availability of mental health services, post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI) among Canadian police services members continue to be significantly more prevalent than in the general population. The purpose of this study was to identify sources of resilience and help-seeking preferences among Ontario police personnel. We used a path analysis of online survey data to test the direct and indirect effects of mental and physical health, stress, health literacy, and attitudes toward mental health treatment on life satisfaction, community belonging, and resilience, while controlling for social contextual factors. Self-rated mental health, life satisfaction, and community belonging directly predicted resilience. Multiple positive indirect effects on resilience emerged, including from attitudes towards mental health treatment via community belonging, and mental health and community belonging, both via life satisfaction. Life stress had a negative indirect effect on resilience via life satisfaction. This study offers initial evidence of factors that influence resilience among police personnel and suggests that efforts to support resilience in this population may be well served by focusing on enhancing life satisfaction and community belonging.

El libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad César Vallejo, cuyo objetivo fue analizar los logros y dificultades en la implementación de los Compromisos de Gestión Escolar (CGE) en la virtualidad. El estudio fue de enfoque cualitativo, diseño fenomenológico. Se tomó como unidad de análisis a los directivos de instituciones educativas públicas en Lima (Perú), la investigación fue abordada desde la fenomenología, empleando entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados encontrados permitieron evidenciar un trabajo colaborativo en dichas instituciones y por comisiones; cumplimiento de calendarización; jornada laboral; feedback a estudiantes; alianzas estratégicas con Centros de Salud; monitoreo mediante visitas inopinadas para fortalecer la práctica pedagógica. Por otro lado, las dificultades encontradas fueron los problemas de escasos recursos tecnológicos, baja señal y falta de internet para el uso de los escolares; traslado de estudiantes de colegios particulares; constantes cambios de institución educativa. Se concluyó que para el cumplimiento de los CGE se debe contar con la participación de toda la comunidad educativa, involucrando directamente a los directivos para hacer acompañamiento pedagógico y monitoreo a los docentes.

The development of tourism in the Rupat Subdistrict is experiencing problems, this is due to the development priority in North Rupat Subdistrict because it is considered to have more potential. The limitations of the APBD in development are the reason why not all areas on Rupat Island can be developed simultaneously. So there is a need for cooperation with many parties to develop tourism. The concept of dynamic governance-based tourism development can be applied as a tourism development strategy. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, the authors conducted interviews, observations, and secondary data references. The writer performs data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of this research are tourism development in Bengkalis Regency, a strategy (thinking forward) of policy formulation is carried out as the basis for tourism development for the next 15 years. In addition, the participation of the public and the private sector in tourism development is still low. In the context of Dynamic governance in tourism development in Rupat District based on the drafting of these regional regulations it can be a reference and indicator of successful tourism development in Bengkalis Regency, especially Rupat Island. Considering that Rupat Island is a Strategic Tourism Area for Bengkalis Regency.
Control of Al composition of mist chemical vapor deposition grown α-(AlGa)2O3 alloy thin films by acetylacetonation of Al ion
Authors: Uno Kazuyuki , Ohta Marika
Published: March 2023

We investigated the dominant factors affecting the Al composition of α-(AlGa)2O3 alloy thin films in mist CVD, focusing on the acetylacetonation of the source solutions. The Al–acetylacetonate (acac) complex formation time was evaluated using Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy to examine the effectiveness of heating during stirring of the source solutions. Then, α-(AlGa)2O3 alloy thin films were grown in source solutions in which the state of the acac complex was changed by adding ammonia water and/or hydrochloric acid, and the Al composition increased with increasing the pH value due to the acceleration of acetylacetonation. The growth-temperature dependence of the Al composition was also experimentally investigated. The Al composition decreased with increasing growth temperature. The reasons are due to the strength of the Al–O bond or the dissociation of the Al–acac ligand.

We compared the evaluation accuracy of amplitude envelope statistics under the transmission and reception conditions of compounded plane wave imaging (CPWI) and focused beam imaging (FBI). In a basic study using a homogeneous phantom, we found that the amplitude gradient in the depth direction and the point spread function in the lateral direction spread in the FBI reduced the accuracy of evaluation in amplitude envelope statistics. On the other hand, CPWI showed a more stable evaluation than FBI because of the elimination of sound field characteristics. In CPWI, the multi-Rayleigh model discriminated signals from two types of scatterer with high accuracy in the evaluation using phantoms mimicking fatty liver. It was confirmed that the combination of CPWI and the multi-Rayleigh model is effective for detecting early fatty liver disease. The results show that CPWI is effective for improving the robustness of amplitude envelope statistics.

To develop high-performance semiconductor devices, it is critical to study the relationship between stress and phonon frequency shifts. We used micro-Raman spectroscopy on a β-Ga2O3(001) wafer to better understand the relationship. We applied tensile stress to a sample along the [010] direction by bending in the direction normal to the (001) plane. The unbent sample’s Raman spectrum showed 9Ag + 4Bg phonon modes, which are allowed in the experimental geometry. Although some of these peaks monotonically shifted to the lower frequency side as tensile stress increased, each phonon mode showed a different peak shift. The stress potential values for each phonon mode obtained from our results showed different trends from those of the theoretically calculated values reported in previous studies, suggesting that bending stresses on the (001) plane cause stresses in the (010) plane and along the [010] direction.

InAsBi layers with different bismuth content were grown on InAs substrates by solid source MBE. The amount of bismuth incorporated in the layers was estimated using X-ray diffraction measurements. The relaxation degree of the grown crystalline layers was evaluated using reciprocal space map analysis. The intervalley energy separation in the conduction band of InAsBi was studied by Terahertz Excitation Spectroscopy. It has been found that this separation slightly decreases with increasing Bi content. In the studied samples with Bi content varying from 2.7% to 4.5% the Γ-L separation shifts down to about 0.9 eV.
