Published: August 2021

We are now facing a growing demand of using technology in mathematics classrooms due to the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemics era. In this situation, most teachers among the globe including Indonesia have to employ remote learning practice without proper training and sufficient experience in doing so. This article aims to provide teachers and mathematics education communities, especially in Indonesia, with some research-based principles mainly from SAMR and MAAAD frameworks on how they productively incorporate technology in their mathematical teaching and learning. By doing so, we explain how we can improve our technology integration and how we analyse technology affordances. In addition, we also raise the importance of acknowledging technology limitations, along with the discussion on what to do next for improving our technology integration skills.

Non-extreme-Points Approach to Extreme Points of Integral Families of Analytic Functions
Authors: Dow Keiko
Published: August 2021

Non extreme points of compact, convex integral families of analytic functions are investigated. Knowledge about extreme points provides a valuable tool in the optimization of linear extremal problems. The functions studied are determined by a 2-parameter collection of kernel functions integrated against measures on the torus. Families from classical geometric function theory such as the closed convex hull of the derivatives of normalized close-to-convex functions, the ratio of starlike functions of different orders, as well as many others are included. However for these families of analytic functions, identifying “all” the extreme points remains a difficult challenge except in some special cases. Aharonov and Friedland [1] identified a band of points on the unit circle which corresponds to the set of extreme points for these 2-parameter collections of kernel functions. Later this band of extreme points was further extended by introducing a new technique by Dow and Wilken [3]. On the other hand, a technique to identify a non extreme point was not investigated much in the past probably because identifying non extreme points does not directly help solving the optimization of linear extremal problems. So far only one point on the unit circle has beenidentified which corresponds to a non extreme point for a 2-parameter collections of kernel functions. This leaves a big gap between the band of extreme points and one non extreme point. The author believes it is worth developing some techniques, and identifying non extreme points will shed a new light in the exact determination of the extreme points. The ultimate goal is to identify the point on the unit circle that separates the band of extreme points from non extreme points. The main result introduces a new class of non extreme points.

Published: August 2021

In the world literature, randomly discovered notes, diary and excerpts are widely used as a technique for creating a new artistic text by being its pretext. In the novel of the modern American writer Victoria King «Recluse» in parallel with the narrative line of «found notes» develops the story about the life and fate of the main character Lydia Sergeevna. The text of the novel includes fragments of ancient legends and myths from the book «Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece», in the margins of which one of the heroines of the novel reads a story about another, former life of the 30-50s of the XX century. Introspection and fantasy, intellectual search, aphoristic, figurative style, folklore motifs are successfully combined in the poetics and style of V. King in order to reveal the theme of the deep relationship of all living organisms on planet Earth. Narrative strategy allows the writer to combine three times – mythical, Soviet and post-Soviet. Temporary layers of the narrative intersect, develop in parallel, alternating both in the composition of the novel and in the memory of the characters. The past becomes a myth and suddenly comes to life, sprouting into the fate of the heroes. This is the skill of the writer as a narrator. The heroines of the novel, without hesitation, come to the rescue, stretch a helping hand to the elderly, save the children. Invisible threads in one instant bind the inhabitants of different countries of the world. The cultural super-memory allows the American writer in the pages of the novel to recreate the image of a Kazakh artist, decorator of the Almaty Opera House – Sergei Kalmykov. Imagological discourse is important as a view from abroad. The image of the artist was described, that of fully immersed in his fairy tales, in the memoirs of the main character of the novel, and in the diary entries Darya Belotserkovskaya. The poetics of the novel is characterized by fantasy motifs that reinforce sadness and grief, and folklore elements (song, folk laments, parable). Central is the parable of the old recluse who remains to grieve in the ashes. The measured, unhurried rhythm of the narrative prolongs the simple, unpretentious story. The drama of what is happening is transmitted through the representation of immutability of human essence and the eternal quest of the soul.

I am an American educator and researcher working in the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies at the University of Arizona, a large public university in the Southwestern region of the United States. As a longtime student of the Kazakh language and literature, as well as a researcher of the cross-cultural links between Kazakhstan and its neighbor countries, I often encounter a surprised reaction by both Kazakhstanis and my fellow Americans when I describe my topic of research. Both Americans and Kazakhstanis have asked me: Why would an American study Kazakhstan? What use is the Kazakh language to an American? What can American students hope to learn from Kazakhstan? The ultimate purpose of this article is to provide some answers to these questions. I have found the study of Kazakhstan to be enriching in many ways, both for myself and for the students I work with at the University of Arizona. In this article, I will provide an overview of the contemporary status of Kazakhstan as a subject of study in American institutions of higher education, and I will also share some of my personal experiences as both a student and a teacher. I will discuss not only specialized courses on the Kazakh language and culture, but also courses in the humanities and social sciences that incorporate Kazakhstan into broader interdisciplinary topics, such as global studies. Finally I will discuss international connections between American and Kazakhstani institutions of higher education.

2021/22 Changes in the freedom of contract in employment contract law during a pandemic (HU)

On 22 May 2020, fifty-two members of the Hungarian parliament petitioned the Constitutional Court which was requested to establish the unconstitutionality of Section 6(4) of Government Decree no. 47/2020 (III. 18), its conflict with an international treaty and to annul it with retroactive effect to the date of its entry into force. According to Section 6(4) of the Decree “in a separate agreement, the employee and the employer may depart from the provisions of the Labour Code” (i.e. ‘absolute dispositivity’). The petition, among other things, alleged the violation of equal treatment and the right to rest and leisure. The Constitutional Court rejected the motion to establish the unconstitutionality of Section 6(4) and its annulment, since it was repealed on 18 June 2020. The Constitutional Court may, as a general rule, examine the unconstitutionality of the legislation in force, however it was no longer possible to examine the challenged piece of legislation in the framework of a posterior abstract norm control.

Assessing the combination of DistilBERT news representations and difusion topological features to classify fake news
Authors: Córdova Sáenz Carlos Abel , Dias Marcelo , Becker Karin
Published: August 2021

Fake news (FN) have affected people’s lives in unimaginable ways. The automatic classification of FN is a vital tool to prevent their dissemination and support fact-checking. Related work has shown that FN spread faster, deeper, and more broadly than truthful news on social media. Deep learning has produced state-of-the-art solutions in this field, mainly based on textual attributes. In this paper, we propose to combine compact representations of the textual news properties generated using DistilBERT, with topological metrics extracted from their propagation network in social media. Using a dataset related to politics and distinct learning algorithms, we extensively assessed the components of the proposed solution. Regarding the textual attributes, we reached results comparable to stateof-the-art solutions using only the news title and contents, which is useful for FN early detection. We assessed the influential topological metrics, and the effect of their combination with the news textual features. We also explored the use of ensembles. Our results were very promising, revealing the potential of the features proposed and the adoption of ensembles.
Automated classification of cardiology diagnoses based on textual medical reports
Authors: O. Pedrosa J. A. , Oliveira D. M. , Meira Jr. Wagner , P. Ribeiro Antonio Luiz
Published: August 2021

Automatic classification of diagnoses has been a long term challenge for Computer Science and related disciplines. Textual clinical reports can be used as a great source of data for such diagnoses. However, building classification models from them is not a trivial task. The problem tackled in this work is the identification of the medical diagnoses that are indicated in these reports. In the past, several methods have been proposed for addressing this problem, but a method developed for reports in the cardiology area that are written in Portuguese is still needed. In this paper we describe a method that is able to handle the peculiarities of clinical reports, including the medical terminology, and that is implemented to estimate correctly the diagnosis based on raw clinical reports and a list of the possible diagnoses. Experimental results show that our method has a high degree of accuracy, even for infrequentclasses and complex databases.

Published: August 2021

Background: Stress-induced cellular senescence is a perpetual state of cell cycle arrest occurring in proliferating cells in response to stressful conditions. It is believed that oxidative stress plays a unique role in this process. As a reactive chemical compound that can induce oxidative stress, acrylamide is widely applied in several fields. Carvacrol is a liquid phenolic monoterpenoid found in essential oils of some plants and is known for its antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of carvacrol on oxidative stress and cellular senescence induced by acrylamide in the NIH 3T3 cell line. Methods: NIH 3T3 embryonic fibroblast cells were exposed to different concentrations of acrylamide, carvacrol, and H2O2 in a cell culture medium. The level of β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, as a marker of cellular senescence, was measured using staining and quantitative assays. Furthermore, to measure oxidative stress parameters, the content of glutathione and lipid peroxidation were determined. Results: Acrylamide could induce premature senescence evident by the elevated lipid peroxidation and SA-β-gal activity and declined cell viability and glutathione. Moreover, carvacrol showed beneficial effects on both acrylamide- and H2O2-induced cellular senescence by significantly reversing or subsiding the effect of oxidative stress and mediating its consequences. Conclusions: It can be concluded that carvacrol has protective effects against oxidative cellular senescence induced by acrylamide in the NIH 3T3 cell line.
Saul Ascher’s Critique of Fichte’s Novel Form of Anti-Judaism
Authors: Bernasconi Robert ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2021

Some scholars have responded to the increasingly widespread concerns about Immanuel Kant’s racism by promoting his cosmopolitanism as if the two were self-evidently incompatible, but his particular form of cosmopolitanism has its own history of difficulties when it comes to both racism and anti-Judaism. These concerns can be grounded historically if one links his 1784 essay on history with his account of cosmopolitanism in his 1793 lectures on the metaphysics of morals, where he criticized Jews for failing to embrace cosmopolitanism. Kant’s attack on the Jews was in line with Johann Gottlieb Fichte’s attack on them that had provoked Saul Ascher, a young Jewish Kantian, to accuse Fichte of inventing a new form of anti-Judaism. In this essay I reaffirm my rejection of the widespread claim that Kant toward the end of his life abandoned his belief in a racial hierarchy. I also demonstrate that he used the idea of cosmopolitanism as a tool not only against non-whites, but also against Jews. Kant’s cosmopolitanism should not be presented as the corrective to his racism, but as a new and dangerous addition to his earlier focus on inferiority.
Two new endangered species of Polygala series Trichospermae (Polygalaceae), endemic to the Cerrado domain, Tocantins State, Brazil
Authors: José Floriano Barêa Pastore  , Guilherme Medeiros Antar
Published: August 2021

The Cerrado domain is the most diverse savannah biome in the world and a biodiversity hotspot for conservation. Only a few areas of the domain remain well preserved, among them the Jalapão region in Tocantins State, currently is considered the best preserved area of the Brazilian Cerrado. Listed in a recent Angiosperm checklist for the region, there were two species of Polygala series Trichospermae, which were recognized as new by the first author. Polygala bringelii sp. nov., endemic to the Jalapão region, is diagnosed by its obclavate seeds without a ring of trichomes at their base, keel with the crest shorter than the cuculus, and the internal sepals (wings) longer than the capsule. Polygala tocantinensis sp. nov., endemic to Tocantins state, is distinguished by its internal sepals (wings) with two glands near to the rounded apex, and a ring of convergent trichomes at the base of the seeds. The two species are morphologically closest with Polygala trichosperma of sect. Timutua, series Trichospermae, but differs in its corolla and seeds shape and pubescence. An identification key, photographic plates, photos of floral parts under magnification, preliminary conservation assessments, and ecological comments of both species are also provided.

Vício, metateatralidade e enfado em The Connection, de Jack Gelber
Authors: Santana Esther Marinho
Published: August 2021

O artigo analisa The Connection, de Jack Gelber, estreada em 1959, no Living Theatre, onde se tornou um fenômeno cultural da Off-Broadway nova-iorquina. Utilizando o recurso da peça-dentro-da-peça, a obra mescla a espera de um grupo de viciados em heroína pela chegada de seu fornecedor, apresentada de modo bastante desimpedido, com o registro do próprio processo de dramatização do cotidiano de usuários de narcóticos. Através do estudo de sua ossatura metateatral, bem como de suas ambíguas provocações a diversas tendências formais e temáticas típicas do mainstream estadunidense coetâneo, propõe-se como uma legítima singularidade o seu investimento deliberado no enfado das plateias.
Efeitos de ausência: A tela contra a cena
Authors: Plassard Didier , Balardim Paulo
Published: August 2021

O artigo lança um olhar sobre a integração da imagem de vídeo na encenação contemporânea, discutindo a questão da complexidade que isso impõe aos modos de presença do intérprete, ao modo como se cruzam os espaços-tempo ficcionais e ao desenvolvimento de níveis narrativos autônomos. Partindo da hipótese de que a integração em doses muito altas da imagem eletrônica na representação teatral tende, com diferentes encenadores, a ser acompanhada de uma rarefação, de uma desestruturação e até mesmo uma quase desaparição da ação cênica, o autor propõe examinar "efeitos de ausência", com base na observação de duas produções alemãs e uma italiana, realizadas entre 2002 e 2004: Der Meister und Margarita, encenado por Frank Castorf a partir do   romance de Bulgakov;Pablo in der Plusfiliale, espetáculo concebido e realizado por René Pollesch; e Twin rooms, uma criação da companhia Motus.

Published: August 2021

Objectives: In this study, we examined compliance and progress factors associated with weight loss and maintenance, individual patterns of weight trends following weight loss, and impact of early weight loss on longer-term weight change. Methods: We conducted secondary
analysis of pre-post data. Participants were 8769 persons (mean age = 47.63 ± 13.78 years; 77.74% women; mean weight = 97.20 ± 22.82 kilograms; BMI = 34.09 ± 6.84) in a commercial weight management program. We carried out multiple regression analyses on weight change and
percentage, and used ANOVA and the Pearson chi-square test to examine participant characteristics, weight change patterns, and early weight loss success. Results: Participants were active in the program for 222 ± 158 days, completed 15 ± 13 appointments, achieving
-8.53 ± 7.87 kilograms lost (-8.61% ± 7.64%). Greater weight loss was associated with appointment frequency (β = -0.46) and total spending (β = -2.89) (p < .01). We identified 5 weight change patterns (F = 37.56, p < .001) (total weight loss for each group was:
Stable = -10.4% [N=2036]; Minimal Regain = -10.5% [N=3766]; Modest Regain = -8.8% [N=1476]; Large Regain = -7.3% [N=753]; No Loss/Gain = +3.7% [N=737]; all p < .05). Over 5000 participants achieved early weight loss (losing > 5%) within the first 2 months resulting in significantly greater
final weight loss (-8.43% to -14.56% vs -1.18% to -3.15%). Conclusions: We identified several weight patterns; increased health coaching attendance was associated with greater weight loss.
Adolescent E-cigarette Users at Highest Risk of Cigarette Smoking Intention
Authors: Owotomo Olusegun , Maslowsky Julie
Published: August 2021

Objectives: Adolescent e-cigarette users are at risk of developing smoking intention, an established predictor of conventional cigarette smoking. In this study, we identify subgroups of adolescent e-cigarette users who are most likely to intend to smoke conventional cigarettes.
Methods: Cross-sectional data on 1357 8th and 10th grade e-cigarette users who had never smoked conventional cigarettes were obtained from 2014-2017 Monitoring the Future Surveys. We conducted latent class analysis to identify subgroups of adolescent e-cigarette users; through
latent class regression analysis, we examined the association between subgroup membership and smoking intention. Results: We identified 3 subgroups of adolescent e-cigarette users: socially-protected (56.6%), peer-driven (29.8%), and market-vulnerable (13.6%). The peer-driven
class reported the highest number of peers who smoke and the lowest proportion of friends who strongly disapproved of daily cigarette smoking. They were significantly more likely than the socially-protected and market-vulnerable classes to have smoking intention (AOR=2.46; 95% CI 1.84-3.28,
and AOR=2.29; 95% CI 1.48-3.53, respectively). Conclusion: Our findings provide insights on the constellation of risk and protective factors that contribute to smoking intention among adolescent e-cigarette users. It highlights peer influence as an important area of emphasis
for adolescent smoking prevention programs.

Authors: Bhutani Surabhi , Cooper Jamie A. , vanDellen Michelle R.
Published: August 2021

Objectives: Cross-sectional reports on weight gain during the COVID-19 shelter-at-home have raised concerns for weight increases as the pandemic continues. We examined behaviors that impact energy intake and/or energy expenditure among adults in the United States during shelter-at-home.
Methods: Cross-sectional data (N=1779; April 24 – May4, 2020) were collected on demographics, diet, physical activity, sleep, and food purchasing behaviors. Percent of participants reporting increase/ decrease/no change in these behaviors during the COVID-19 shelter-at-home
were assessed. Each analysis was followed by comparing whether increases or decreases were more likely for each health behavior, in all participants and across sex (43.38% males). Results: Increased consumption of healthy foods, energy-dense unhealthy foods, and snacks, and
increased sedentary activities (p < .001) was reported. Physical activity and alcohol intake declined (p < .001). Females were more likely than males (p < .001) to report ultra-processed foods/high-calorie snack intake, fruit/vegetable intake (p < .001) and increase (p < .01)
sleep and sedentary behavior. Conclusion: Acute behavioral changes supporting greater energy intake and less energy expenditure, especially in females, underscore the significance of COVID-19-related increase in unstructured time. Longitudinal assessment of body weight and health
behaviors is warranted to understand the impact of pandemic
The Impact of Knowledge, Anxiety and Fear on Psychological Distress during COVID-19 among Residents of the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Saravanan Coumaravelou , Mahmoud Ibrahim
Published: August 2021

Objectives: COVID-19 has become a global concern, affecting both physical and mental health. In this study, we measured knowledge, fear, anxiety, and psychological distress related to COVID-19 among residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: A total
of 1053 adult participants completed a Web-based cross-sectional survey. Results: Our data revealed 75.7% of the sample to be knowledgeable about COVID-19, 15.3% had experienced anxiety and 50.4%, psychological distress about COVID-19. Being knowledgeable about COVID-19 was
significantly associated with having spent one to 2 hours reading about COVID-19. There was also an association between being knowledgeable about COVID-19 and low levels of anxiety and psychological distress. Psychological distress was associated with a history of mental illness (76.2%), anxiety
(85.1%), and fear of COVID-19 (21±6.6). Age, history of mental illness (OR = 3.70, 95% CI = 2.35-5.82, p < .001), and COVID-19 anxiety (OR = 2.48, 95% CI = 1.48-4.13, p < .001) and fear (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.14-1.20, p < .001) were risk factors for psychological distress.
Conclusion: Our results showed significant psychological distress in the UAE population. Providing pre-recorded workshops and continuous telemedicine on biopsychosocial perspectives of COVID-19 may enhance the COVID-19 insight and reduce the COVID-19 anxiety and psychological
distress.
The Risk of Self-medication among Students from Urban and Rural Areas
Authors: Mamcarz Izabela , Biela Adam , Mamcarz Piotr , Jurek Krzysztof , Dobrowolska Beata
Published: August 2021

Objectives: We assessed the influence of the risk of self-medication on health locus of control and the experienced symptoms – physical, psychological, and spiritual in a group of students from urban and rural regions. Methods: This cross-sectional study
included a convenience sample of 200 students from urban (N=100) and rural (N=100) areas. We used 3 research tools: Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC); List of Noo-Psychosomatic Symptoms (LS-NPS); and Self-medication Risk Questionnaire (SMRQ). Results: We found
a statistically significant difference between rural and urban residents in the area of the influence of chance (CHLC) on the control of health (p < .05). The correlations between the general assessment of the risk of self-medication and two health locus of control factors were statistically
significant (p < .05). A greater tendency to undertake the risk of self-medication is connected to living in the city and prescribing importance in the control of one's health to others or chance. Conclusions: Predictors of the assessment of the risk of self-medication were
2 measures of health locus of control, ie, influence of others and chance and the residence of students.
