Published: February 2021

In arid zones, the principal water supply is from groundwater, which can present high concentration of salts, heavy metals, and radioactive elements. The aim of the study was to determine isotopic uranium concentration in groundwater samples with high concentration of salts and its association with other chemical species. Samples were taken from wells with high salt content. The 238,234U radioisotope concentrations were determined by liquid scintillation and alpha-particle spectrometry. In addition, the physical-chemical parameters were recorded in situ; whereas the dissolved ions and elemental composition were measured by UV-Vis and X-ray fluorescence spectrophotometry, respectively. To obtain isotopic uranium concentrations, three radiochemistry procedures were carried out. An ANOVA test was performed to compare the results from procedures, as well as an analysis of Pearson correlation was used between parameters to obtain their associations. Statistically, the U isotopic concentrations did not show differences (p-value 0.82) between procedures. 238U and 234U showed mean concentrations of 6.7 mBq mL-1 and 16.6 mBq mL-1, respectively, with an Activity Ratioby up 7.2. The groundwater under study showed high concentration of TDS, calcium, sulphate, chloride, nitrate, and nitrite. Isotopic U concentrations tend to increase with NO3>Zn>Cl>Br>SO4>Cu>T>SDT>P; meanwhile their contents decrease with T>Cl->NO2>Fe. These findings help us to understand the uranium behavior in groundwater with high salt contents as well as the influence of agricultural supplies on chemical species presents in groundwater.

Authors: Campbell Kathleen , Carbone Paul S. , Liu Diane , Stipelman Carole H.
Published: February 2021

BACKGROUND:

Universal screening for autism promotes early evidence-based treatment. However, many children are not screened, and screened children are often not referred for autism evaluation.

METHODS:

We implemented process changes in 3 phases: phase 1, changing the screening instrument and adding decision support; phase 2, adding automatic reminders; and phase 3, adding a referral option for autism evaluations in primary care. We analyzed the proportion of visits with autism screening at 2 intervention clinics before and after implementation of process changes versus 27 community clinics (which received only automatic reminders in phase 2) with χ2 test and interrupted time series. We evaluated changes in referral for autism evaluation by calculating the rate ratio for referral.

RESULTS:

In 12 233 visits over 2 years (baseline and phased improvements), autism screening increased by 52% in intervention clinics (58.6%–88.8%; P < .001) and 21% in community clinics (43.4%–52.4%; P < .001). In phase 1, interrupted time series trend for screening in intervention clinics increased by 2% per week (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1% to 2.9%) and did not increase in community clinics. In phase 2, screening in the community clinics increased by 0.46% per week (95% CI: 0.03% to 0.89%). In phase 3, the intervention clinic providers referred patients for diagnostic evaluation 3.4 times more frequently (95% CI: 2.0 to 5.8) than at baseline.

CONCLUSIONS:

We improved autism screening and referrals by changing the screening instrument, adding decision support, using automatic reminders, and offering autism evaluation in primary care in intervention clinics. Automatic reminders alone improved screening in community clinics.

Published: February 2021

Irisin is a novel exercise-induced myokine that may be involved in regulating energy metabolism. We determined whether overtraining syndrome (OTS) and its biochemical markers are associated with plasma irisin levels in athletes. Seven severely overtrained athletes (OA) and 10 healthy control athletes (CA) were recruited and examined at the time of diagnosis (baseline) and after 6- and 12-months follow-up. Training volume and intensity were initially restricted but progressively increased in OA as OTS symptoms alleviated; CA continued their normal training routine. A maximal cycle ergometer test was performed with irisin analyzed before and after the test. Before the exercise test, irisin levels tended to be lower in OA than in CA at baseline (154.5 ± 28.5 vs. 171.7 ± 58.7 ng/mL). In both groups, at rest irisin levels changed only marginally during follow-up and were not affected by maximal exercise, nor were they associated with physical performance or body fat percentage. Irisin concentration at rest correlated positively with an oxidative stress marker, malondialdehyde (MDA) and negatively with an antioxidant protection marker, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in response to the exercise test in OA at baseline. Our findings help to clarify the possible contribution of irisin and its association with oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of OTS.
The influence of school principals as potential entrepreneurial leaders on the emergence of entrepreneurial activities for school funding
Authors: Mamabolo Anastacia
Published: February 2021

The South African Department of Basic Education introduced school funding regulations to ensure that all learners will have access to quality education. However, the dynamic, complex, turbulent and competitive macroenvironmental conditions, which have resulted in decreased public finances being available, will have a negative impact on the already burdened school funding system. This study explored the role of school principals as entrepreneurial leaders who influence the emergence of entrepreneurial activities for the purpose of school funding. This article explores school principals’ entrepreneurial leadership characteristics and entrepreneurial activities and the outcomes thereof. The qualitative findings of 9 interviews conducted with school principals show that these individuals possess the necessary entrepreneurial know-how and, in their leadership roles, they have the personal, and managerial skills required to identify and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities. The study found that the entrepreneurial activities introduced by the school principals comprised internal resource mobilisation through learner-led and management-led projects, and external mobilisation through partnerships with the private sector and former learners. Overall, the entrepreneurial activities contributed positively to the schools’ finances and improved learners’ entrepreneurial skills. The article concludes by making certain recommendations for various stakeholders.
Narrowing the achievement gap of Grade 12 in no-fee schools in Gauteng using pro-poor funding
Authors: Chanee Albert
Published: February 2021

Since the advent of democracy in 1994, access to quality and equitable education still remains a challenge in the Gauteng province. As an intervention to improve access and quality of learning in all schools, especially township schools, the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) declared schools across Quintiles 1 to 3 throughout the province to be no-fee schools. In this article we examine various GDE pro-poor intervention programmes, the effects of a progressive school funding policy, and efforts to achieving equity through improved resource allocations. It is essential to assess the progress of the GDE’s explicit pro-poor education policies towards promoting equity and equality in education, with particular focus on the performance of Grade 12 learners in no-fee schools. One of the findings of the study reported on here reveals that, although the GDE faced challenges in implementing the no-fee policy at school level, there has been progressive improvements in the standard of education as reflected in the Grade 12 results of no-fee schools.
Problems of transport security and quality of transport services of urban settlements of Russia of various people
Authors: Arustamov Eduard , Volkova Irina , Krylov Petr
Published: February 2021

The level of development of the country's transport infrastructure is one of the most important civilizational, geographical, economic and social characteristics of the state. The article is based on the materials of a scientific study that analyzes the final data of a comprehensive observation of the living conditions of the Russian population (for urban localities) in the field of transport services and transport security of the population according to research indicators for 2018. Analysis of data from the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, conducted by the Russian Federal Agency for statistics once every two years, contributes to a better understanding of local and regional processes in the field of public satisfaction with the level and quality of transport services, availability of various types of vehicles and public transport.
In General, according to the comprehensive monitoring of the population's living conditions, the indicators of transport services and transport security of the population differ significantly in urban localities of different populations, especially when comparing the indicators of small and medium-sized urban localities (up to 100 thousand people) with those of larger cities.
The article draws conclusions about the differences between urban localities of different population density in terms of public transport services and the availability of various types of personal transport. The use of personal cars and motorcycles is significantly higher in small urban localities, which, in our opinion, is due to the lack of development of public transport in them. Most often, private transport is used by middle-aged people (about 45 years), as well as large families. Taxi services are also more popular in localities with less traffic (this can probably be explained by the weaker development of public transport in them). The share of the population using public transport naturally increases from 46 % to 72–73 %, and it increases simultaneously with the growth of the population in urban localities (from 50 to 500 thousand inhabitants). However, this indicator begins to decline slightly as the number of residents of urban localities increases.

Authors: Inazumi Shinya , Tanaka Shigeaki , Komaki Takahiro , Kuwahara Shuichi
Published: February 2021

Various issues have been encountered in the removal work of existing piles, such as existing piles being left in the ground, the subsidence of the surrounding ground and the deterioration of the ground environment when reusing the site. However, there are no regulations for the filling material to be injected into the draw holes that form after the removal of existing piles or for the removal work itself. In this study, therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of the insertion by rotation of the casing onto an existing pile as part of the work to remove existing piles, the effect of the stress loaded onto an existing pile when the casing is inserted into the ground using moving-particle semi-implicit–computer-aided engineering and the mechanism of its occurrence are clarified. As a result, it is found that the inner diameter of the casing used, the value of the plastic viscosity of the drilling fluid and the mechanism by which the stress is loaded onto an existing pile can be evaluated such that the destruction of the existing piles can be avoided.

Published: February 2021

A agricultura nacional tem passado por intensas mudanças, tanto no modo de gestão das propriedades quanto no nível tecnológico empregado nas mesmas. Dentre as tecnologias adotadas, dá-se destaque à agricultura de precisão, principalmente utilizada para a aplicação de fertilizantes em taxas variadas, utilizando as informações das análises de amostras de solo, coletadas em grades contínuas georreferenciadas. O presente estudo foi conduzido em um talhão da Fazenda Planalto, localizada no município de Maracaju – MS, com o objetivo de compreender os diferentes arranjos amostrais adotados para coleta de solo e sua influência na análise geoestatística do fósforo, do potássio, da saturação por bases, do pH, da matéria orgânica e do teor de argila, bem como a confiabilidade dos mapas de predição elaborados a partir da análise geoestatística. Foram utilizados diferentes números de amostras simples para formar a amostra composta (1, 5, 10, 17 e 25) combinados com um desbaste dos pontos amostrais para formar diferentes resoluções de grades (187, 95, 47 e 23 pontos). Concluiu-se que são necessárias oito amostras simples para um menor erro de predição de valores em locais não amostrados. Para estimar a dependência espacial necessita-se de grades amostrais com: 187 pontos para o fósforo potássio e saturação por bases, 95 pontos para o pH e a matéria orgânica e 23 pontos para o teor de argila. As melhores estimativas em locais não amostrados são obtidas para a argila.

Published: February 2021

Atualmente, é notório o uso de aeronaves controladas remotamente na agricultura e a necessidade de cada vez mais otimizar a produção das lavouras brasileiras. Com esse intuito, o trabalho busca identificar falhas de semeadura a partir da interpretação de imagens obtidas com veículo aéreo não tripulado. Neste trabalho, as imagens foram obtidas nas alturas de voo de 60, 90 e 120 metros, e em quatro momentos pós-plantio, 15, 22, 32 e 37 dias após a semeadura, o processamento foi realizado no software QGIS gerando imagens com o percentual de cobertura pelas plantas de soja. Analisando as imagens classificadas, foi possível estimar o desenvolvimento das plantas de soja, constatou-se que não houve diferença significativa entre as alturas de voo, sendo assim a melhor altura para avaliar as falhas de semeadura foi a de 120 metros, por possibilitar uma maior área coberta em um mesmo voo. O voo que melhor representou o percentual de cobertura das plantas de soja foi o quarto (37 após a semeadura), visto que ocorreu logo após o efeito de uma aplicação de herbicida tornando a classificação mais eficiente sem a presença de daninhas.

Authors: Le Roux Conrad , Green Andrew , Lombard Adrian
Published: February 2021

Background: The purpose of the on-field referee is to implement the laws of the game. For the referee to do this successfully, he is required to keep up with the pace of play. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the physical attributes of sub-elite rugby union referees of inland provinces in South Africa.

Methods: A total of 82 referees (age: 26.5 ± 6.4 years; stature: 177.3 ± 6.8 cm; body mass: 79.1 ± 14.7 kg) were assessed with a reliable testing battery.

Results: The participants showed a refined aerobic capacity (VO2max: 61.8 ± 11.0 mL·min-1·kg-1) and good agility (Illinois Agility Test: 17.2 ± 3.8 s). A two-way unbalanced ANOVA was performed for all referees’ attributes between qualification levels (levels 1-4) and union affiliations (three unions) at a significance level of p<0.05. The results yielded significant differences across the three unions in age (p=0.002), Yo-Yo distance (p=0.0001), aerobic capacity (p=0.0001), plank time (p=0.0001) and agility (p=0.027). Similarly, differences were reported across the four qualifications in aerobic capacity (p=0.0001) and agility (p=0.037).

Conclusion: These differences may be due to the diverse training programmes offered by the various unions. Additionally, an increased level of physical fitness may occur when progressing up the qualification levels.

Human clinical samples pose a challenge for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) analysis, due to their heterogeneity in cell type composition and degree of degradation or necrosis. Moreover, although some tissues can be sampled by surgical resection, most biospecimens are derived from core needle biopsies or fine needle aspirates, and must be allocated to pressing needs such as pathological analysis, thereby severely limiting the number of cells available for analysis. We have developed a protocol for obtaining robust, high-quality single-cell sequencing data from human biospecimens from a variety of biopsy types, enabling greater access to clinical cohorts. A critical factor is to limit ischemic time and transport to the lab to under an hour, and to restrict subsequent processing time to under 3 hours. This protocol uses a commercial tissue disruptor for dissociation. It was optimized on diverse human lung tumor samples, including pleural effusions, but is widely applicable to normal and diseased human clinical tissues from different organ sites.

Published: February 2021

The article presents some ideas about the practical training of future educators in the analysis of Ukrainian scholars-pedagogues whose names are known in Ukraine and abroad. The emphasis is placed on the importance of accepting some ideas as relevant to the implementation under modern conditions of the development of domestic education. It has been pointed out that there are actual I. Ogienko's ideas concerning the importance of the self-criticism of the people of science to their work, the attitude of society to the scientists' scientific work, which is not sufficiently appreciated, but is the basis of the spiritual culture. M. Pirogov's ideas about importance of university education, the formation of students' need for independent reading of scientific literature and the preparation of lectures in this way have been considered. G. Vaskovych's position on the level of training of pedagogical staff, providing them with the necessary methodical assistance, publishing periodical scientific and educational publications, which would facilitate implementing the most advanced ideas into educational practice and informing the readers about the ways of their implementation have been revealed. The analysis of a number of educational ideals by Ukrainian teacher G. Vashchenko and the vision of the importance of correct choice in the education of Ukrainian youth has been presented, because the quality of the formation of the moral qualities of young people depends on the adoption of the educational ideal. The importance of the S. Chavdarov's ideas concerning the textbook creation has been proved. In his opinion, the false practice of annual creating text-books negatively affects teaching, leads to neglecting of the theory. The author substantiates M.Gryshchenko's important views on raising the level of pedagogical preparation of students, educational work with freshmen, didactic counseling for young teachers. The attention has been paid to A. Aleksyuk's analysis of independent work of students, because, in his opinion, independence in obtaining knowledge helps to acquire skills and abilities to see the purpose and content of work, to ensure selfeducation.
O. Dukhnovich's thoughts about a mentor as a person gifted with special qualities, among which is the true challenge, respect for order, and the possession of a clear way of teaching have been considered. The scientific and pedagogical staff of higher educational institutions has been oriented to enriching their experience with knowledge about the providing of training and education of future specialists with the help of the heritage of outstanding personalities of the past.

The article analyzes the contribution of the professor of the Department of Pedagogy of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv A.D. Bondar in the development of theoretical principles and methods of conducting laboratory and practical classes in higher education, identifies the possibility of using this pedagogical experience in modern conditions.
It is established that today the work and pedagogical activity of A.D. Bondar is insufficiently studied, although his work reflects the results of research on important didactic problems that are relevant today. It is analyzed that among the various types of classes in higher education an important place belongs to laboratory and practical work, because they follow one of the leading principles of didactics – the principle of connection of theory with practice. According to A.D. Bondar, laboratory and practical works are closely connected with lectures and independent work of students, they, with their proper organization, help students to creatively use the theoretical knowledge that they acquired during lectures and in the process of studying literary sources. This type of training activates the cognitive activity of students, gives them the opportunity to show initiative and ingenuity, better master the program material, get acquainted with the latest installations and devices, equipment and materials, experiment in laboratory or production conditions, helps teachers to involve students in research work, promotes the development of their thinking, ingenuity, innovation. According to A.D. Bondar, laboratory classes are an effective way to study the material, give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice and see the results of their work. At the same time, many factors significantly reduce the effectiveness of this important type of training. It is proved that the improvement of the quality of laboratory classes can help, in particular, the implementation of guidelines developed by A.D. Bondar almost half a century ago.

Old Uyghur Fragments in the Serindia Collection: Provenance, Acquisition and Processing
Authors: Lundysheva Olga V. , Turanskaya Anna A.
Published: February 2021

The first expeditions to Eastern Turkestan that discovered Old Uyghur manuscripts and block prints were from Russia. A number of the Old Uyghur fragments were found already in the course of the Turfan expedition in 18891890. These fragments, along with the ones in other languages and scripts, were subsequently acquired by the Russian officials N. Petrovsky and N.Krotkov and the expeditions headed by S. Oldenburg (19091910; 19141915) and S. Malov (19091911; 19131914). They formed the so-called Serindia (formerly known as Central Asian) collection kept nowadays at the IOM, RAS. The major part of the Serindia collection consists of the Old Uyghur fragments. Obtained by the expeditions to Eastern Turkestan, according to the customary tradition they were transferred to the Asiatic Museum. This paper presents the results of our study of the provenance, aquisition and processing history of the Old Uyghur fragments.
Different Climate Changes at Two Locations on a Small Karst Island Korčula (Adriatic Sea, Croatia)
Authors:   University of Split Faculty of Civil Engineering Architecture and Geodesy, Bonacci Ognjen , Ljubenkov Igor , Roje-Bonacci Tanja
Published: February 2021

The article analyses the series of annual, monthly and daily air temperatures and annual and monthly rainfall at two meteorological stations in Vela Luka and Korčula on the island of Korčula (Croatia), for which there are long time series of observations. Today’s locations of meteorological stations are only 33.5 km apart. The average annual air temperature at the Vela Luka station is on average 1°C lower than that measured at the Korčula station. A signifi cant upward trend in mean annual and mean monthly air temperatures was observed at both stations, with the increase being much milder at the Vela Luka station. Warming processes are signifi cantly faster at the Korčula station than at the Vela Luka station. Signifi cantly diff erent values of air temperatures, and in particular the fact of diff erent reactions of air temperatures to climate change at two stations, can be explained by their local position in relation to the open sea and orography of the surrounding terrain. While the Vela Luka station is exposed to the open sea and away from the mainland, at Korčula station the impact of the sea is less signifi cant because the sea is located in a narrow channel between the island of Korčula and the Pelješac peninsula. The distance of the Korčula meteorological station from the Pelješac peninsula and the mainland is signifi cantly smaller, which aff ects the faster trend of rising air temperatures at this station than at the Vela Luka station, where the infl uence of the sea mitigates the eff ect of global warming. Orography and proximity to land aff ect signifi cantly higher rainfall occurrences at Korčula station. Average annual rainfall at this station is 231 mm or 27.5% higher than at Vela Luka station. Both stations show a trend of decreasing annual rainfall.

Realizou-se uma revisão de literatura baseada em artigos científicos publicados nas seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medline: Pubmed e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), sendo a amostra final composta por vinte e seis estudos. Verificou-se que, para uma adesão adequada das cerâmicas de dissilicato de lítio ao substrato dentário, deve-se seguir o passo a passo do preparo da superfície, sendo a aplicação do ácido fluorídrico, seguido de silano e adesivo a opção mais segura. O modo simplificado de preparo, usando sistemas autocondicionantes pode ser promissor, porém mais estudos são necessários para comprovar sua eficácia.

Abstract

The  ceramic surfaces preparation is one of the fundamental steps for a lasting and satisfactory adhesion to the dental substrate, guaranteeing the success of the treatment. The  correct products choice gives the prosthesis greater stability after cementation, avoiding: infiltrations, secondary caries and e ceramic piece displacement. In recent times, several protocols for preparing ceramic surfaces have been used due to the wide range of products in  the market. Due to the diversity of products available, this literature review aims to show, through articles, which is the safest protocol to be followed for the cementation of lithium disilicate ceramics. A review was carried out based on scientific articles published in the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medline: Pubmed and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), with the final sample comprising twenty-six studies. It was found that, for an adequate lithium disilicate ceramics adhesion to the dental substrate, one must follow the step by  step of the surface preparation, with the hydrofluoric acid (HF) application, followed by silane and adhesive which is the safest option. The simplified  preparation method, using self-etching systems, can be promising, however, more studies are needed to prove its effectiveness.

Ada juga yang mereka harus cuti karena mengandung dan melahirkan serta sampai ada yang mengalami kehamilan beresiko karena kurangnya informasi tentang kehamilan dan akibat dari perencanaan pengguguran janin di kandungan. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah  mahasiswa dapat mempunyai ilmu dan pengetahuan tentang dampak dan bahaya yang terjadi akibat seks bebas bagi kesehatan, psikologis dan kehidupan mereka kedepan. Metode yang digunakan memberikan sosialisasi  dan pendampingan kepada mahasiswa agar terhindar dari perilaku seks bebas dan hamil di luar nikah. Hasilnya adalah perlunya pendidikan seks di perguruan tinggi serta mengoptimalkan bimbingan konseling  sebagai wadah perkembangan psikologis mahasiswa.
HYERS-ULAM STABILITY FOR NONLOCAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Authors: Nguyen Van Dac , Pham Anh Toan
Published: February 2021

In this paper, we present a result on Hyers-Ulam stability for a class of nonlocal differential equations in Hilbert spaces by using the theory of integral equations with completely positive kernels together with a new Gronwall inequality type. The paper develops some recent results on fractional differential equations to the ones involving general nonlocal derivatives. Instead of Mittag-Leffler functions, we must utilize the characterization of relaxation function.

We build the theory of diffusion for FCC binary interstitial alloy under pressure based on the statistical moment method, where there are the analytic expressions of the jumping frequency of interstitial atom, the effective jumping length, the correlation factor, the diffusion coefficient, and the activated energy. In limit cases, we can obtain the diffusion theory for FCC metal A under pressure.
Research Insights: Does the Framing of Information on Crime Rates Affect Citizens' Preferences for Anti-Crime Policies?
Authors: Gingerich Daniel , Scartascini Carlos
Published: February 2021

Anti-crime policy preferences can be swayed by the framing of crime rate information. Both framing information as an upward trend in crime or a downward trend in crime increased demands for punitive policies as opposed to social policies, when compared to a control group that received no information. Individuals with no previous information about crime rates were more affected by the treatments than those who were familiar with crime rates in the country.

A divorce is indeed never expected to happen in a marriage. However once it happens, the important thing which must be taken into account is the consequence of the divorce where the issue pertinent to children’s livelihood is one of it. This study tried to probe into how Malaysia and Indonesia whose most of the population was Muslims adopted the Fiqh concept in terms of post-divorce children’s livelihood in their regulations. Since there  always be difference between theory and practice, the real implementation of the decisions will also be examined on the basis of legal norms. This study directly explores the laws and Court decisions for further assessment based on several indicators. It is found that the legislation and the Court decisions of the two countries had adopted the concept of Fiqh yet with a couple of particular notes. It is also found that there is a chance of providing livelihood for illegitimate children in the law and practice of both countries.
