Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the social factors that determine the incidence of aids in the Piauí territory. Method: an ecological study that uses geoprocessing techniques in which 2,908 aids cases of individuals residing in Piauí were considered, notified to the Notifiable Disease Information System (Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação, SINAN), from 2007 to 2015. Gross and Bayesian incidence rates were calculated using the population of the central year (2011), multiplied by 100,000 inhabitants, with Bayesian statistics used to identify spatial clusters. The non-spatial Ordinary Least Squares Estimation (OLS) and spatial Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) regression models were used to identify the social determinants of the incidence of aids in the state, with 5% of significance. Results: the highest rates of the disease are concentrated in cities near the capital Teresina, with a Bayesian incidence of over 11.27 cases/100,000 inhabitants. The predictor variables of the incidence of ADIS in Piauí cities were the following: the percentage of individuals in houses with inadequate walls (p=0.0139), the mean number of residents per household (p=0.0309), and the percentage of individuals in households vulnerable to poverty and in which no one has completed elementary school (p=0.0051). Conclusion: according to GWR, the social factors that influence the incidence of aids in the cities of Piauí are the percentage of individuals in houses with inadequate walls, the mean number of residents per household, and the percentage of individuals in houses vulnerable to poverty and in which no one has completed elementary school. Given the above, interventions on the health social determinants of a structural nature should be established as effective methods for the prevention of HIV/ aids.

Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) among patients with prostate cancer that initiated treatment in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), between 2002 and 2010, in Brazil. Methods: Retrospective observational study that used the National Oncological Database, which was developed by record-linkage techniques used to integrate data from SUS Information Systems, namely: Outpatient (SIA-SUS), Hospital (SIH-SUS), and Mortality (SIM-SUS). Cancer-specific and other-cause survival probabilities were estimated by the time elapsed between the date of the first treatment until the patients’ deaths or the end of the study, from 2002 until 2015. The Fine-Gray model for competing risk was used to estimate factors associated with patients’ risk of death. Results: Of the 112,856 studied patients, the average age was 70.5 years, 21% died due to prostate cancer, and 25% due to other causes. Specific survival in 160 months was 75%, and other-cause survival was 67%. For CSM, the main factors associated with patients’ risk of death were: stage IV (AHR = 2.91; 95%CI 2.73 - 3.11), systemic treatment (AHR = 2.10; 95%CI 2.00 - 2.22), and combined surgery (AHR = 2.30, 95%CI 2.18 - 2.42). As for OCM, the main factors associated with patients’ risk of death were age and comorbidities. Conclusion: The analyzed patients with prostate cancer were older and died mainly from other causes, probably due to the presence of comorbidities associated with the tumor.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of lactulose (0.03 mL kg-1) on the intestinal health and weight gain of turkeys subjected to the inoculation of Salmonella serovar (sv.) Enteritidis (SE). A total of 280 turkeys, with one day of age, were distributed in the following treatments: T1, negative control; T2, group that received only lactulose; T3, group subjected to the inoculation of approximately 7.0x105 CFU mL-1 SE; and T4, group subjected to the inoculation of approximately 7.0x105 CFU mL-1 SE and treated with lactulose. Poultry performance was evaluated weekly, and seven turkeys from each treatment were euthanized to collect duodenum and jejunum fragments for the histomorphometric analysis. A lower weight gain was observed in the group that received only the pathogen, and the best performance was observed in the lactulose-treated group. The histomorphometric analysis showed a higher villus:crypts ratio in the duodenum and jejunum samples of the negative control and of the group of turkeys at 7 and 21 days of age treated with the lactulose-supplemented diet. Lactulose allows of a better intestinal development of turkeys until 42 days of age, but it does not interfere with poultry performance.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the productivity and beverage sensory quality of arabica coffee under the influence of tree species cultivated at different spacings. The experiment was set in 2012, in the municipality of Santo Antônio do Amparo, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A randomized complete block design was carried out with four replicates and seven treatments, as follows: Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99 Coffea arabica in monoculture (3.40x0.65 m); and this cultivar intercropped at two spacings (9.0x13.6 and 18.0x13.6 m) in the coffee row ‒ either with African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), teak (Tectona grandis), or pink cedar (Acrocarpus fraxinifolius). Three coffee rows were fixed between rows, totaling 13.6 m between the wooded rows. Productivity, sensory analysis (cup test), and content analysis of sensory attributes were evaluated in the 2017 and 2018 crop years. The treatments and years of harvest influenced productivity. The sensory analysis was positive for coffee intercropped with African mahogany and teak, in 2018. Sensory attributes and nuances are modified by the years of harvest. Arabica coffee plants intercropped with African mahogany show a superior productivity, regardless of the spacing between species, as well as a higher sensory quality in the 2018 harvest.
Labour Analgesia for Obstetricians: Epidurals and Beyond
Authors: B Shelton , G Ratnayake
Published: January 2021

Epidurals remain the gold standard for labour analgesia, especially during the current COVID-19 pandemic. They provide superior analgesia and lower the physiological and chemical responses to labour stress. However, they are associated with higher rates of instrumental delivery, maternal pyrexia and hypotension. Less invasive substitutes include nitrous oxide and parenteral opioids such as patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with remifentanil. Non-pharmacological methods include hypobirthing and relaxation techniques, giving the mother a less medicalised labour experience. Newer regional techniques such as erector spinae and quadratus lumborum blocks are promising alternatives in those who cannot have or do not want an epidural. This review will outline the indications and contraindications to labour epidural use, and potential alternatives to an epidural.

The aim of this research is to determine the learning styles of Web 2.0 based collaborative group activities; to examine the effects on academic achievement, online cooperative learning attitude level, computer thinking skill level. The research was carried out with a quantitative method and a pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design was used. Data were collected through Computational Thinking Skill Level scale, Online Cooperative Learning Attitude Scale and academic achievement test. The research was conducted for 10 weeks in the 2019-2020 academic year, within the scope of Information Technologies and Software course, with 83 6th grade students. The experimental group consists of 43 students and the control group consists of 40 students. In the research, one of the learning style theories, Kolb Learning Style model was used. In the experimental group, Web 2.0 based activities developed by the researcher were applied and the experimental group students produced content with Web 2.0 tools. In the control group, the lesson was taught in the way the current program suggested in schools. As a result, a meaningful difference was determined between students' academic achievement scores, online cooperative attitude levels, computer thinking levels and learning styles. According to these variables, the students with the discriminating learning style show the highest success. In addition, as a result of the research, it was determined that there are some features and developments other than the learning style feature in students. Learning environments other than the learning path of the learning style can be provided. Similar studies can be conducted by using the learning style inventory based on different theories.

Microevolutionary relationships between the Far Eastern StY-genomic species Elymus ciliaris and E. amurensis were studied using a set of experimental methods. No relationship was found between the formal species affiliation of a particular accession and the component composition of protein spectra. The consensus neighbor-joining (NJ) dendrogram based on the variability of ISSR markers showed the features of differentiation among different morphotypes of the two species. Pubescence of leaf blades is not a marker of differences between the studied species. A level of crossability in E. ciliaris s. l. did not allow to study the inheritance of morphological traits. According to the results of sequencing of the nuclear gene GBSS1, the sequences of the St subgenome are the most informative in terms of microevolutionary differentiation. It is proposed to return to the early treatment by N.N. Tsvelev, where E. ciliaris and E. amurensis were considered as subspecies of E. ciliaris s. l.

F. Von Hayek: Invention of the Enemy and Modern Neoliberalism
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Orekhovsky Petr A.
Published: January 2021

The paper considers the evolution of the category “political” in the development of economic theory of the XVIII – XX centuries. It demonstrates the departure of economic science from ideological assessments characteristic for the antagonistic relations of early capitalism. In the 1940s – 1950s F. von Hayek reintroduces the concept of “enemy” into economic researches, which is met with strong rejection by the Western establishment, which is under the influence of Keynesianism. F. von Hayek is one of the founders of neoliberalism, within the framework of which an antagonistic confrontation between the “blind forces of the market” and the “dictatorship of a group of people” is being constructed. Thus, a dilemma is imposed, which does not provide an opportunity to understand the mechanisms of market design. Von Hayek is making great efforts to create a transatlantic network of neoliberal organizations based on the Mont Pelerin Society. Long work leads to the fact that in the 1970s. neoliberalism is becoming the ideology - hegemon. At present, the political category retains its significance in economic science. Ideological constructs such as human capital, private money, diffused knowledge, despite their utopianism, continue to transform reality
Evolution of the Subject Area of Happiness and Subjective Well-Being Research in World and Russian Science
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Yakovleva Elena A.
Published: January 2021

The article provides an analytical overview of the peculiarities of the international and Russian tradition of studying overlapping structures describing happiness, subjective well-being, quality of life and satisfaction. The semantic content of such constructions and the peculiarities of their use in empirical research are studied. The most common and studied determinants of subjective well-being are described. Existing Russian and international databases that can serve as sources of well-being analysis in the time and cross-country space are considered. A semantic analysis of the concept of "happiness" as the closest and most commonly used synonym for the term "subjective well-being" is conducted. The discussion questions of the relationship of theoretical constructs describing the concept of subjective well-being are discussed in detail. A characterisation of the extent to which the existing needs of an individual are met has been proposed as a basis for developing similar structures, where it is important to take into account the individual specificity and level character of the needs themselves. It has been shown that the concept of subjective well-being is adequately described by the parameter of need satisfaction, the indicator of which is positive emotions. A model of subjective well-being is considered, which takes into account the difference between the hedonistic component characterized by a measure of satisfaction with universal basic needs determined by material and other resources, and the eudemonistic component characterising success in achieving individual meaningful life goals. The article provides an analysis of the fact that a person's well-being is determined both through an assessment or self-assessment of his or her social status and situation, his or her ideas about the possibility and feasibility of achieving the desired goal. On this basis, a two-level model of subjective well-being is proposed, distinguishing between an affective component, such as an assessment of an individual's emotional balance at the time of measurement and a cognitive component, which characterises the assessment of quality of life in general, the degree of subjectivity and reasonableness in achieving a person's life goals.
Enterprises and Ecosystems: Features’ Relational Analysis
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yerznkyan Bagrat H.
Published: January 2021

The article deals with the analysis of the organizational and institutional differences between the enterprises and ecosystems given in relational key and with the use of four-typed system language of G.B.Kleiner, applied for description of institutions as well. Features of different business-ecosystems with indication of dominated characteristics are analyzed which are as follows: innovation-oriented industrial clusters as objective systems, technological platforms as environmental systems, networks as processed systems and business-incubators as projective systems. An evolutionary logic of the enterprise development is presented with accent on two aspects: existential (enterprises are treated as existing objects, legal entities, as a rule, entering into explicit contractual relations and/or practicing implicit relations within themselves) and transactional (mattered in inter-firm interactions or relations between existing or potential elements of hybrid structures). Other logic connects to networks, especially, innovative – principally non-hierarchical structures, relied on the information power provided by the new technological paradigm. It is confirmed that the main difference between competing and functioning in market environment enterprises and such acting in the frame of ecosystems is the studied in the paper enterprises form functional unity with all types of ecosystems, however with different degree of intensity of this unity connection.

In this note I describe simple logic behind COVID-19 mass testing, which explains why any underlying policy is economically unsubstantiated. The application of basic probability theory shows that unless the testing accuracy is close to a hundred percent, even a small number of false positives introduces significant bias into random tests making them extremely unreliable, which is further aggravated by the presence of false negatives. For example, at 5% false positive rate, for a random person living in the USA without any symptoms or previous contact with infected people, the likelihood of actually having COVID-19 after testing positive is only 32.63%. This probability increases with lower false positive rates and higher infection rates. Still, at 3% false positive rate, a randomly selected person only in 12 states will have a probability higher than 50% (up to 56%) of having COVID-19 after testing positive. Assuming independence of tests, in some states (e.g. Vermont) a person who has no reason to suspect the disease may need to test a dozen times to make sure that he/she is actually sick.
Public Regulation Evolution of Local Public Goods in the Housing Economy (on the Example of the Major Renovation of Apartment Buildings in Russia)
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Ermishina Anna V.
Published: January 2021

Residents of an apartment building become participants in situations of local public goods associated with the maintenance and use of common property, including major renovation of common property in the house. The solution of the social dilemmas arising in this case is possible both through the intervention of a third party – the state, and through the self-organization of the participants. The article attempts to trace the evolution of government intervention in the production of local public goods in the housing economy in Russia and to identify the prospects for the further development of government regulation in the field of major renovation of apartment buildings. The empirical basis of the study is the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation that regulate the management of common property in the housing sector since the 1990s. so far, forecasting and analytical documents of the federal and regional level, the activities of state institutions in this area. It was revealed that the declared guidelines of the state housing policy for the development of self-organization of homeowners in apartment buildings did not receive the necessary incentives for real implementation at different time stages. The modern highly centralized system of organizing major renovation of apartment buildings in Russia turned out to be its logical consequence, generating significant financial and material flows of private resources under the direct control and management of the state through a system of regional major renovation funds.

Published: January 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that is currently spreading in Indonesia has prompted the government to implement various prevention efforts to limit its spread. One of the sectors affected by this pandemic is the education sector, owing to the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan) of the Republic of Indonesia instruction to higher education institutions to implement the Study from Home (SFH) policy. This causes abrupt changes and considerable pressures on college students both internally and externally, which might trigger negative emotions, including stress in undergoing Study from Home (SFH). This study aims to explore the correlation between academic resilience and the subjective well-being of college students experiencing online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study uses a literature review to collect data, focusing on theoretical studies, and the references used are inseparable from scientific literature. The results show that resilience is crucial in online learning to maintain and improve the students’ subjective well-being. Students with a high level of resilience tend to have a high level of subjective well-being as well, meaning that they are able to regulate their emotions better in addition to controlling internal pressures caused by online learning.

Synthesis of Polyaniline / Biochar composite material and modeling with nonlinear model for removal of copper (II) heavy metal ions
Authors: YAKIŞIK Halime , ÖZVEREN Uğur
Published: January 2021

Water is one of the most important
compounds for the existence of nature and human life. Nowadays, as a result of
increasing industrialization and industrial production, heavy metals pollute
clean water resources. Copper (II) ions are the leading metals in the industry.
There is a high proportion of copper (II) ions especially in the production of
printed electrical and electronic circuit, paper production, silicon synthesis,
wood preservation, fertilizer production, oil refining enterprises, paint and
pigment production, steel and similar metal industry, motor and motor vehicle
production, aircraft industry and metal industry wastes. When copper (II) ions
are present in trace amounts, they are beneficial to human health, while
excessive amounts show poison effect and cause acute diseases.

In this study, for the
removal of copper (II) ions in waste water; biochar obtained from torrefied
hazelnut shell and was used to synthesize Polyaniline/Biochar composite by comodfification
with polianaline. During the study, optimal temperature, pH, adsorbent amount
and contact time parameters were investigated. Moreover, in this study, a new nonlinear model was also developed
by using temperature, pH, adsorbent dossage and contact time as an input
parameters of the synthesised polymeric Polyaniline/Biochar composite for the
removal of copper (II) ions.

Hirshfeld surface analysis, a suitable tool for investigating intermolecular interactions, has been widely used in crystallography in recent years. A breakdown of related fingerprint graphics is presented as a color chart, allowing a quantitative analysis of intermolecular interaction types. In this study, the intermolecular interactions of di¬aqua¬bis¬(4-cyano-benzoato-κO)bis¬(nicotinamide-κN1)cobalt(II) (I), di¬aqua¬bis¬(4-cyano¬benzoato-κO)bis-(nicotinamide-κN1)copper(II) (II), di¬aqua¬bis¬(4-cyano¬benzoato-κO)bis¬(nicotinamide-κN1)nickel(II) (III), triaqua(4-cyanobenzoato-κ2O,O')(nicotinamide-κN)zinc(II) 4-cyanobenzoate (IV), diaquabis(4-cyanobenzoato-κO)bis(N,N’-diethylnicotinamide-κN)cadmium(II) (V), di¬aqua¬bis¬(4-cyano¬benzoato-κO)bis¬(N,N’-di¬ethyl¬nicotinamide-κN)zinc(II) (VI) and catena-poly[[aquabis(4-cyanobenzoato-κO)copper(II)]-μ-N,N’-diethylnicotinamide-κ2N1:O] (VII) complexes, which are the crystal structures were previously determined, were and investigated by using Hirshfeld surface analysis via CrystalExplorer Program Version 17.5. In addition, the intermolecular interaction energies of the complexes were calculated using CE-HF/3-21G and CE-B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) energy models that involved in CrystalExplorer (CE) program. Related to the obtained Hirshfeld surface analysis results, H…H, H…C/C…H, H…O/O…H, H…N/N…H, C…C, C…N/N…C and C…O/O…C constitute the intermolecular interactions of the complexes. Additionally, N…O/O…N and N…N interactions only in I, II, III, IV and VII complexes, H...Cu/Cu...H, O...Cu/Cu...O only in complexes II and VII and O...O interactions only in complexes II, V and VI were also found. The most significant interactions of all of the complexes were found as the H…H interactions. These results support the existence of π-π interactions between benzene and pyridine rings and medium strength hydrogen bonds which contribute to the stability of the crystal packing of the complexes that are determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. Depending on the intermolecular interactions and the energy-framework analysis the O-H...O and N-H...O hydrogen bonds, and π···π stacking and C−H···π interaction energies are the most significant forces in the crystal packaging. The estimation of the intermolecular interactions and electrostatic energy values of the complexes are very important for the classification of them for their electrical, magnetic and optical properties.

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Sokhranyaeva Tatiana V. , Zamotkin Ivan D. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: January 2021

The article attempts to reconstruct the critical tradition in the philosophy of edu­cation on the basis of a review of studies in which education is analyzed from the critical perspective, addressing such issues as deformation of the meanings of education, dehumanization of educational relations, legitimization inequality by means of education. This tradition is described in the article around the issue of the emancipatory potential of education as the conditions for the formation of independent mature thinking, the development of subjectivity and autonomy of the individual. The key directions of the development of critical reflection on education are outlined. Different projects of emancipatory education related to the movement of critical pedagogy are analyzed and compared. A special em­phasis is placed on the crucial for a critical tradition problems: the problem of in­strumentalism in education and the problem of achieving equality and overcom­ing hidden mechanisms of power in the educational relations. The article concludes with demonstrating the relevance of the critical tradition in the analy­sis of education for understanding modern trends in education associated with the dominance of neoliberal logic in assessing its effectiveness.
