Mindfulness Buffers the Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak Information on Sleep Duration
Authors: Zheng Michelle Xue , Yao Jingxian , Narayanan Jayanth
Published: March 2020

We examine whether mindfulness can neutralize the negative impact of COVID-19 stressors on employees’ sleep duration and work engagement. In Study 1, we conducted a field experiment in Wuhan, China during the lockdown between February 20, 2020, and March 2, 2020, in which we induced state mindfulness by randomly assigning participants to either a daily mindfulness practice or a daily mind-wandering practice. Results showed that the sleep duration of participants in the mindfulness condition, compared with the control condition, was less impacted by COVID-19 stressors (i.e., the increase of infections in the community). In Study 2, in a 10-day daily diary study in the United Kingdom between June 8, 2020, and June 19, 2020, we replicate our results from Study 1 using a subjective measure of COVID-19 stressors and a daily measure of state mindfulness. In addition, we find that mindfulness buffers the negative effect of COVID-19 stressors on work engagement mediated by sleep duration. As the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and the number of reported cases continues to rise globally, our findings suggest that mindfulness is an evidence-based practice that can effectively neutralize the negative effect of COVID-19 stressors on sleep and work outcomes. The findings of the present study contribute to the employee stress and well-being literature as well as the emerging organizational research on mindfulness.
Malayalam Morphosyntax: Inflectional Features and their Acquisition
Authors: Krishnan Gayathri
Published: March 2020

Malayalam, which belongs to the South-Dravidian language family, is an agglutinative language with rich inflectional morphology. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the grammar and acquisition of Malayalam verbal inflections (tense, aspect and mood) and nominal inflections (case, number, and gender). Within the larger discussion of inflectional morphology and its acquisition, particular attention is paid to two complex morphological processes, a) the past tense formation of verbs and b) case assignment of subjects and objects.In particular, the thesis will show the following: a) that the past tense marker selection is determined by different grammatical principles in underived and derived stems; specifically, phonotactics in the former and the lexical feature of transitivity in the latter; b) that the dative nominals of a class of predicates (variously labelled experiencer or dative subject or psych predicates) are in fact subjects using an array of empirical tests involving binding, control, accusative marking, and predicate alternation; and c) that inflections for number and object case rest on lexical features of the noun (stem) and the allomorphy is governed by these featural requirements. In looking at the developing grammar in the two subjects, the thesis will show that Malayalam inflectional grammar has quite direct consequences for the acquisition of inflectional morphology. Specifically, acquisition proceeds unobstructed when the mode of selection is phonological and offers more challenges when the mode of selection is morphological, i.e., when the selection depends on the learning of the lexical or grammatical features of the noun and verb stems.Thus, using the interplay between acquisition and the grammatical description, we establish that in addition to the established factors that guide acquisition, mode of selection of an inflection plays a key role in determining the relative ease/difficulty in the acquisition of inflectional morphology. This follows quite neatly from the fact that children are phonologically competent even before much language is produced and that this module-competence could facilitate the acquisition of morphology. The thesis will argue that this is indeed the case.
An Agricultural Wealth Index for Multidimensional Wealth Assessments
Authors: Hackman Joseph V. , Hruschka Daniel , Vizireanu Mariya
Published: March 2020

Social scientists have increasingly used asset-based wealth scores, like the DHS wealth index, to assess economic disparities. However, current indices primarily capture wealth in globalized market economies, thus ignoring other forms of prosperity, such as success in agricultural activities. Using a simple extension to the standard estimation of the DHS Wealth Index, we describe procedures for estimating an Agricultural Wealth Index (AWI) that complements market-based wealth indices by capturing household success in agricultural activities. We apply this procedure to household data from 129 DHS surveys from over 40 countries with sufficient land and livestock data to estimate a reliable and consistent AWI. We assess the construct validity of the AWI using benchmarks of growth in both adults and children. This alternative measure of wealth provides new opportunities for understanding the causes and consequences of wealth inequality, and how success along different dimensions of wealth creates different social opportunities and constraints for health and well-being.

Authors: Shakya Dipesh , Shrestha Rabindra , Dhungana Krishna , Kafle Raisha , Bhatta Sabnam
Published: March 2020

Background: Stroke is a disabling condition that has physical and mental impact on a patient’s life. Stroke is an important morbidity for low and middle income countries like Nepal. Hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and dyslipidemia are common risk factors in this regard and are inadequately controlled; mainly because of poor public awareness, inadequate infrastructure, lack of service and qualified manpower.Objectives: This study aims to provide insight into the epidemiology and risk factors in ischemic stroke patients.Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in 92 ischemic stroke patients at a tertiary care hospital Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital (KMCTH), Sinamangal, Nepal from December 2017 to June 2018. Consecutive sampling technique was used and data was collected from ischemic stroke patients above 14 years of age who were admitted in the Department of Neurology. Information regarding pre-morbid and morbid conditions, imaging findings as well as results was obtained from biochemical analysis of blood after taking consent from the patient or patient’s relative. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 20 was used as a tool for statistical analysis.Results: Their mean age was 63.25 years with standard deviation of 16.45. Dyslipidemia was the most commonly found risk factor which was present in 77.2% of the subjects, followed by smoking (59.8%), presence of carotid artery atherosclerosis (59.8%), hypertension (50%), atrial fibrillation (26.1%) and diabetes mellitus(15.2%). Smoking was significant in males and heart disease was mostly seen in females.Conclusion: Dyslipidemia and smoking were the most common risk factors followed by carotid artery atherosclerosis. Patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia had higher incidence of stroke in both young and elderly group.

Authors: Baral Dilip , Yang Yunying , Katwal Gaurav , Li Shiyi , Wang Shengjie , Fan Xiaoli , Wang YanFeng , Ye Qifa
Published: March 2020

Background: Neutrophil lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) are an indicator of the status of inflammation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between recipient pre-operative Neutrophil lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) with delayed graft function in the kidney transplant patient.

Methods: The preoperative full blood count, data regarding patient demographics and postoperative graft function was retrospectively evaluated from the database of our institution. All statistical calculations were carried out using SPSS 20.0 version (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). A p-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: 289 patients were included in this study. DGF occurred in 33 cases. Elevated preoperative NLR had a sensitivity of 75.75% and specificity of 76.56% whereas elevated preoperative PLR had a sensitivity of 72.72% and specificity of 58.20% for predicting DGF. The area under the ROC curve was found to be 0.762 and 0.655 for NLR and PLR, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed NLR>3.5 and PLR>120 independently responsible for DGF.

Conclusion: Recipient preoperative NLR and PLR can predict the occurrence of DGF following DBD renal transplantation. In addition, NLR is better than PLR in predicting DGF. DGF prolongs the total ICU and in-hospital stay.
Dzicy i tropiki, czyli transfer kulturowy w polskich tekstach dla teatru
Authors: Popczyk-Szczęsna Beata Maria
Published: March 2020

W polskiej twórczości dramatycznej XXI wieku wyróżnić można grupę tekstów poświęconych zjawisku mobilności kulturowej. Stanowią one literackie świadectwo istnienia dynamicznych „stref kontaktu” między tym, co lokalne i globalne, narodowe i światowe, swojskie i obce. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą omówienia wybranych utworów dramatycznych w nawiązaniu do koncepcji transferu kulturowego. Przedmiotem analizy są trzy teksty napisane dla teatru (Życie seksualne dzikich Marcina Cecko, Śmierć Kalibana Magdy Fertacz oraz Smutki tropików Mateusza Pakuły).  Podjęty w nich na różne sposoby temat konfrontacji Europejczyka z przedstawicielami innych kultur świadczy o zainteresowaniach autorów założeniami postkolonializmu i posthumanistyki. Jest to twórczość silnie uwarunkowana kontekstem społeczno-cywilizacyjnym; stanowi artystyczną formę reakcji na głębokie przemiany migracyjne w obszarze kontynentu europejskiego. Autorzy wykorzystali w swych utworach różne kody symboliczne i strategie reprezentacji świata nie w celu porównania odmiennych kultur, ale jako punkt wyjścia refleksji o dynamice procesu przenikania się kultur. Jednym z nadrzędnych problemów jest również kwestia tożsamości poszczególnych jednostek ukazanych w sytuacji kontaktu z Innym. W rozważaniach na temat wspomnianych sztuk dramatycznych, oprócz kategorii transferu kulturowego, wykorzystane zostały: idea transkulturowości Wolfganga Welscha, koncepcja poetyki kulturowej Stephena Greenblatta oraz ustalenia etnopoetyki.

Objetivou-se conhecer e analisar a história de vida laboral de uma pessoa idosa de 95 anos, que ainda se encontra ativa no mercado de trabalho formal, desenvolvendo a mesma atividade, pelas IES que passou, sejam elas públicas ou privada.Foi utilizado o método de história de vida, guiado por entrevista semiestruturada, junto ao sujeito participante, escolhido intencionalmente pelas pesquisadoras. Histórias como essa, deixarão de ser exceção e passarão a ser cada vez mais frequentes, devido ao processo de envelhecimento da população e sua permanência no mercado de trabalho, por um período mais longo. Sendo necessário, refletir acerca da valorização da pessoa idosa no meio social, um desafio que requer respostas urgentes, pois os fatores que as motivam a permanecer no trabalho estão relacionados principalmente, à manutenção da vida e saúde mental, social e econômica, recebendo reconhecimento no ambiente profissional, familiar, assim como a valorização da sociedade, fazendo-os inseridos no contexto social, sentindo-se úteis e capazes, superando o estigma de que a velhice seja a etapa da vida relacionada ao processo de finitude e inutilidade.
Sintomatologia musculoesquelética e intensidade dolorosa em varredoras de rua: associação com a capacidade de trabalho
Authors: Silva Josimáteus Geraldo Ataíde Rocha , Barbosa Priscila Almeida , De Paula Júnior José Dionísio , Minette Luciano José
Published: March 2020

A varrição integra os serviços de limpeza urbana e, apesar de sua insalubridade, não se conhece bem seu padrão de morbidade. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar a prevalência relativa aos sintomas osteomusculares, da intensidade da dor e, posteriormente, verificar a associação dessas variáveis com a capacidade de trabalho (CT) de varredoras de rua que prestam serviço de varrição urbana. Foram utilizados, na pesquisa, quatro instrumentos de coleta de dados, sendo uma ficha de anamnese e três questionários, são eles: Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares (QNSO); a Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating and Scale (FACES) e o Índice de Capacidade Para o Trabalho (ICT). As regiões prevalentemente mais afetadas foram Quadril/MMII e ombros. Foram encontradas associações entre a CT, a intensidade de dor e a presença de sintomas osteomusculares em distintas regiões do corpo.
Representações, subjetividade e uso de tecnologias domésticas por idosos
Authors: Costa Elimara Oliveira , Bifano Amelia Carla Sobrinho
Published: March 2020

Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados de uma pesquisa guiada sobre a forma como as representações sociais reverberam nos processos de subjetivação do uso de tecnologias domésticas por pessoas idosas. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, dentro do contexto de um estudo de caso, foi realizada com um grupo de 38 idosos, residentes no município de Viçosa, interior da Zona da Mata Mineira, durante os meses de maio a outubro de 2017. Para coleta dos dados foi aplicado um questionário semiestruturado. As informações obtidas foram analisadas, seguindo os pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2009). O estudo evidenciou que a representação dos idosos acerca do “ser idoso” é distante da realidade vivenciada por eles, visto que as representações que possuem acerca do termo são carregadas de estereótipos negativos. Foi observado que estas representações aparecem de maneira direta e indireta, definidas por sistemas e práticas compartilhadas socialmente. Concluiu-se que a relação entre idosos e tecnologias domésticas aparece como inserida em uma produção subjetiva, social e individual, possuindo um valor central na forma como os sujeitos se relacionam com os artefatos tecnológicos e como percebem a si mesmos.
On the Importance of Metabolic Stability to Achieve High Oral Exposures for Cyclic Peptides
Authors: Vorherr Thomas , Huth Felix , Lewis Ian , Blanz Joachim , Berghausen Joerg , Schroer Kirsten , Schaefer Michael , Aichholz Reiner , Wille Roman , Vorherr Thomas , Lochmann Thomas
Published: March 2020

Following up on a previous publication in which we reported a high liver first pass effect in rats for the cyclic peptide (1) [Ala-Leu-NMe-D-Leu-NMe-Leu-Leu-D-Pro], we decided to investigate the type of metabolites formed and to suggest solutions to this problem. As a result of a bile duct cannulation study in rats and subsequent derivatization of this peptide by an isolated Cyp-enzyme, several hydroxylated variants were identified. Cyclopropyl-Ala (Cpa) residues as surrogates for Leu alleviated metabolism at these particular side chains. Significant progress was achieved, when in addition the D-Pro residue was exchanged by 4,4 difluoro-D-Pro (DiF-D-Pro). Albeit the Ala was kept constant in this process, in the corresponding in-vivo studies in rats, peptide (6) [Ala-Cpa-NMe-D-Cpa-NMe-Cpa-Cpa-4,4 difluro-D-Pro] exhibited mM exposures at 3mg/kg and an absolute oral bioavailability of > 90%. Thus, we emphasize the importance of controlling metabolism to achieve significant systemic exposure upon oral administration and suggest the Cpa- and DiF-D-Pro residues as metabolically stable isosteres for Leu, and D-Pro respectively.
The Significance of Dynamics of ST Segment Changes When Assessing the Effectiveness of Mechanical Reperfusion of the Myocardium in Hyperglycaemic Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction with Persistent ST-Segment Elevation
Authors: Andres Marek , Małecki Maciej , Konduracka Ewa , Legutko Jacek , Andres Janusz , Żmudka Krzysztof , Andres Marek
Published: March 2020

Background: The coexistence of coronary heart disease and consequently, acute myocardial infarction with
persistent ST-segment elevation (STEMI) and glucose metabolism disorders is well known. Still, glucose
metabolism disorders in the STEMI population are not fully understood. We know that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a
factor disabling the function of microcirculation, which in turn may affect the outcome of coronary intervention.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of ST-segment changes in ECG (electrocardiogram) in STEMI
(ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) patients with co-existing hyperglycaemia compared to those with
normoglycaemia treated with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as to determine this parameter in
the assessment of reperfusion effectiveness.
Methods: The study included 92 patients with the diagnosis of STEMI enrolled in the PCI treatment and was
divided into groups based on the glucose levels on admission (reactive hyperglycaemia): a group with higher
glucose levels on admission (Glc ≥ 7.8 mmol/L, n = 46), a group with lower glucose levels on admission (Glc < 7.8
mmol/L, n = 46) and into groups based on the concentration of HbA1c: a group with a lower HbA1c level (<6.5%
(48 mmol/mol), n=71) and a group with a higher level (≥6.5%, n=21).
Results: On admission, there were no significant differences in terms of clinical characteristics between the groups
of patients with normoglycemia and reactive hyperglycaemia. After PCI, the patients with normoglycemia had
significantly higher (p = 0.021) dynamics of changes in the resolution of ST-segment elevation in ECG expressed
in an indicator of sum STR (resolution of ST-elevation). A degree of resolution of ST elevation in ECG was
significantly (p = 0.021) dependent on the level of blood glucose – higher the blood glucose level, weaker the
resolution. The patients with glucose levels ≥7.8 mmol/L had significantly higher levels of CK and CK-MB during
the first 48 hours of hospitalization. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean length of
hospitalization between individuals from the group with lower and higher blood glucose levels on admission (p =
0.028). A 4-month follow-up revealed no significant difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular
events (MACE) in the study groups (p = 0.063). A 4-year follow-up of patients with higher levels of blood glucose
on admission showed a higher incidence of MACE (p = 0.01). The patients with HbA1c ≥ 6.5% were older (p =
0.004), had a greater BMI > 30kg/m2
(p=0.019) and the lower ejection fraction of the left ventricle (p = 0.003)
compared to those with the HbA1c levels <6.5%. The incidence of MACE in 4-month and 4-year follow-up was
comparable in the study population.

Published: March 2020

Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is a complication of neck dissection. After head and neck
reconstruction, flap congestion due to IJVT may lead to flap necrosis, and early diagnosis and treatment
should be considered. We experienced a case of disappearance of IJVT in which edoxaban was administered
after free-flap reconstruction, and the entire flap survived. Edoxaban has few bleeding complications and
was useful as a single drug approach for IJVT after head and neck reconstruction.
Governing through paperwork
Authors: Nakueira Sophie
Published: March 2020

Documents play an important role in the lives of refugees. However, little is known about the extent to which documents regulate the everyday lives of refugees and the anxieties of obtaining relevant paperwork for refugees seeking resettlement in the Global North. Although their lives are regulated by paperwork, refugees also use documents strategically to legitimise various claims and entitlements. This article shows how refugees interface with the administrative processes that seek to regulate their stay. Therefore, documentary practices become important tools through which processes and objectives of migration governance can be examined. This article seeks to contribute further insights on how the deployment of documents entrenches discourses of vulnerability, the role that paper regimes play in (re)producing processes of exclusion through administrative processes in humanitarian aid contexts and the revelations of documentary practices or paper regimes about those who govern and those who are governed by these practices.
Writing for difference audiences
Authors: Andreetta Sophie
Published: March 2020

In Belgium, depending on their immigration status, foreigners may be entitled to different forms of social assistance, ranging from emergency medical care to financial benefits. In a context where residence permits are constantly updated, re-examined or withdrawn by the administration, this article explores the ways in which welfare bureaucrats deal with irregular migrants. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at welfare offices in French-speaking Belgium, this article shows that documentary practices in welfare bureaucracies have the effect of both restricting access to social assistance and aiding irregular migrants in bringing cases against the administration. This article thus also delves into the double-edged relationship of the social workers to the state by focusing on the competing norms and interpretations of law they encounter on a daily basis.

Authors: Hvalič-Touzery Simona , Babnik Katarina , Pivač Sanela , Skela-Savič Brigita
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND:

The improvement of psychic well-being and mental health prevention in the workplace are high on the European agenda.

OBJECTIVE:

The study aimed to perform a construct validation of the previously developed short forms of the Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) on the working population and to identify the possible individual and work-related characteristics that co-shape individual perceptions of well-being.

METHODS:

A cross-sectional, quantitative study design was utilized. A standardized instrument and its four short forms developed in previous studies were used. The sample included 376 employees from larger companies of one Slovenian region. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression were performed.

RESULTS:

The short form that shows the best fit in this study sample is the PGWBI-B with RMSEA = 0.063; CFI = 0.986; SRMR = 0.026; NNFI = 0.977 and CI = 0.982. The significant independent variables were educational level ( p < 0.001) and the average number of working hours per week ( p = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The study proved that working conditions are correlated with employees’ well-being. Further validation of the PGWBI short forms should be performed with parallel and work context-specific measures of well-being to assess their concurrent validity. The monitoring of general employee well-being should become a regular practice in work organisations.
Three-dimensional printing – Assisted planning for complete and safe resection of retroperitoneal tumor
Authors: Sun Guoliang , Ding Beichen , Yu Gan , Chen Liang , Wang Zhihua , Wang Shaogang , Chen Xiaoping
Published: March 2020

BACKGROUND:

Surgery is usually recommended to treat retroperitoneal tumors. However, complete surgical resections often remain challenging.

OBJECTIVE:

To assess the assistant role of three-dimensional (3D) imaging and printing model in retroperitoneal tumor resection, as well as compare the difference between 3D printing and computed tomography (CT) in preoperative planning and confidence building.

METHODS:

We admitted a patient with retroperitoneal mass (13.0×6.4×14.8 cm) adjacent to important abdominal blood vessels whose surgery was thought to be difficult. 3D printing and CT was arranged. A novel questionnaire and scoring system consisting of surgery difficulty and safety were designed to compare doctors understanding and confidence for surgery based on 3D printing and CT. Twenty-four doctors completed the scoring table based on CT and then 3D imaging, respectively. Paired t-test was applied for statistics analysis.

RESULTS:

Preoperative evaluation based on 3D printing indicated that the tumor could be removed completely. The operation lasted 120 minutes to successfully remove the tumor and the estimated blood loss was less than 100 ml. Scores based on 3D printing is significantly higher than CT in difficulty and safety of surgery ( p < 0.001). Interestingly, the junior doctors seem to benefit more from 3D printing than the senior doctors.

CONCLUSIONS:

3D imaging and printing model provides greater help for preoperative planning and confidence building than using CT in resection of retroperitoneal tumor, especially for the junior doctors.

Authors: Zinov’eva N. G.
Published: March 2020

Structure of the Russian export and import of steel industry products presented by results of 9 months of 2019 operation. It was shown, that the total share of pig iron, ferroalloys and semi-products (40.3%) in the ferrous metals export from Russia is practically the same as the share of rolled products and steel pipes (39.4%), whereas the shares in the import structure were 7.7 and 75% accordingly. The share the far abroad countries in the Russian export and import of finished steel products (in natural terms) accounted for 80.6 and 28.7% accordingly, while the share of CIS countries – 19.4 and 71.3% accordingly. For 9 months of 2019 the Russian export of semi-products declined by 10.9% comparing with the analogue period of 2018 and accounted for 10.9 m tons. 54.6% of the total export shipping of semi-products were directed to Mexico, Turkey, Egypt and Taiwan. Within the nearest years the Russian export of semi-products and billets, in particular, will be effected by the further development of the semi-products production in in the countries of Middle East, Turkey, Vietnam and India. The domestic market remained to be more attractive for many Russian companies. For the 9 months of 2019, export of long and flat products accounted for 3 and 5.7 m tons accordingly, declining comparing with the analogue period of the previous year by 11 and 15.6% accordingly. Import of long and flat products decreased by 12 and 0.5%, accounting for 1.0 and 2.9 m tons accordingly. By the results of 9 months of 2019, import declined and export shipping of coated sheet increased. Taking into account the expansion of steel grades assortment by Russian plants, increase of capacities for production of sheet with different coatings, this tendency is likely to remain.
Elaboration and realization of new approaches to diagnostic and control of blast furnace heat
Authors: Semenov Yu. S.
Published: March 2020

Under conditions of unstable supply of quality charge materials and technological fuel, the elaboration of new effective means of blast furnace heat control becomes actual for reaching acceptable technical and economic indices of its operation. Results of the studies carried out at the BF No. 3 of Enakievo steel-works (EMZ, Ukraine) during the period from October 2011 until December 2016 presented. During the period, various fuel additives to the blast were used within a wide range of their variation, and composition of charge materials was characterized by numerous components and variable quality. In the charge content, various additives were used: iron ore, limestone, BOF slag, briquettes of pellets siftings, manganese-containing additives. The new approach to the selection of rational charging programs was justified, providing stable economic BF running under variation of heat technological conditions. For the first time the temperature indices of estimation of gas stream distribution along the furnace radius were elaborated, the rational ranges of their variation at the operation under various gas-dynamic and fuel conditions determined, requirements to the gas stream temperature distribution along the furnace radius formulated. Based on analysis of information about lining temperature along the furnace height over the five year of EMZ BF No. 3 running, its values were ascertained, showing the partial or complete lining wear in the middle and upper part of the shaft. For the lining of the furnace bottom and other parts the temperature was ascertained, showing the formation in the lower zone unstable protective scull, as well the temperature characterizing its complete absence. The influence of blast mode during addition into it an increased volume of steam, natural gas and pulverized coal on variation of distribution of peripheral gas stream temperature along the furnace height from the tuyere zone to the top studied. It became a reason for an elaboration a method of the identification of the viscous-plastic state zone border in the peripheral zone of the furnace. Regulations of the blowing-in of blast furnaces after a long time stoppage without tapping the emergency hot metal elaborated. The technology of usage manganese-containing materials in the BF charge adjusted, which demonstrated the most effective washing out of the hearth under conditions of low and unstable charge materials quality and pulverized coal injection.

Prácticas agroecológicas en el contexto del diálogo de saberes, las universidades, el desarrollo y el buen vivir
Authors: Cecilia Rivera Carmen , Restrepo Paula
Published: March 2020

En este texto, partimos de las propuestas de la agroecología y su relación conﬂictiva con el desarrollo sostenible. En su versión clásica, la agroecología forma sus cimientos desde una vertiente crítica que se articula dentro de la universidad hegemónica. De aquí se deriva por un lado una variación débil que se desarrolla con el enquistamiento de ésta en sus formas más instrumentales, ligadas con la universidad corporativa. Por otro lado, se consolida una vertiente radical que, aunque tiene una fuerte herencia en la propuesta clásica, se desmarca de ésta, estableciendo una forma de conocimiento de abajo hacia arriba y, en este proceso, funda su propia universidad, la universidad intercultural.

La Unión Europea ante la inmigración
Authors: Moyano Estrada Eduardo
Published: March 2020

La actualidad mediática y política ha vuelto a poder en el centro del debate público la cuestión de las migraciones y, más concreta y urgentemente, la de los refugiados que acuden a Europa y las políticas públicas de los Estados europeos ante estos hechos. La nota parte de algunas constataciones previas: la permanencia de la cuestión migratoria en la agenda política, así como el análisis de algunos factores que, no por ser menos evidentes, dejan de ser esenciales para comprender la cuestión, además del trasfondo del declive demográﬁco europeo. En la segunda parte, el autor esboza algunas propuestas de actuación política, antes de concluir que éste es un tema que está y seguirá estando presente en la agenda política, lo que refuerza la condición plural y la diversidad en la riqueza de la integración europea. La cuestión migratoria, con toda su complejidad, seguirá presente en los próximos años en Europa, especialmente para la Unión Europea: las respuestas a esa cuestión debemos buscarlas en el propio patrimonio ético–jurídico–político europeo.

Material composition of the kursov’s assise of the vendian period of the Mirnin outshot of the Nepsk-Botuobinsk anteclise according to the results of the core material study
Authors: Plyusnin A. V.
Published: March 2020

In this work, the object studied is the terrigenous and carbonate rocks of the Kursov’s assise of the Nepsk horizon of the Botuobinsk facies zone of the Mirnin outshot of the north-eastern part of the Nepsk-Botuobinsk anteclise. In recent years, in the course of active geological exploration work in the region, high quality core material appeared. This material was studied at the macro and micro levels, which made it possible to obtain new data on the material composition. Based on the detailed lithological description and petrographic core study, for the first time, the author gives a description and justification of the division of the Kursov’s assise into three lithological packs: low clay sand, middle carbonate clay and high carbonate clay sand. The lithological properties of the studied section reflect the characteristics of the Vendian deposition of sediments in the south of the Siberian paleocontinent. The accumulation of sandstones of the Kursov’s assise was facilitated by the weathering of magmatic rock of acidic and medium composition; the destruction products that came from the north-western part to the south-eastern part of the NepskBotuobinsk anteclise in the modern plan. In the upper-section of the Kursov’s assise, the gradual increase in the maturity of terrigenous rocks, which is associated with the duration of their transportation and repeated redeposition, is observed. The carbonate microbial formations of the middle pack of the Kursov’s assise are the first witnesses to life in the Vendian paleobasin. Their characteristic feature is the magnesia impurity.

ANTICAPITALISMO
Authors: Da Silva Émerson Neves
Published: March 2020

O ideário anticapitalista é constituído em oposição ao capitalismo. Os valores, ideias e práticas sociais identificadas com o anticapitalismo na América Latina são produzidos a partir da interface com a modernização do capitalismo, sobretudo com o advento da globalização dos mercados consumidores e produtores, o que estreitou os laços de exploração econômica e social no hemisfério sul. Nesse contexto, proliferaram movimentos sociais que demandaram ampliação de direitos sociais, econômicos e políticos. No conjunto desses atores, destaca-se a organização indígena estabelecida ao longo das últimas quatro décadas. Os Novos movimentos sociais são a expressão do anticapitalismo, pois congregam sujeitos históricos baseados na democracia participativa e na desconstrução da sociedade capitalista.
ANTIATEÍSMO

Published: March 2020

Céticos, em geral, e ateus, em particular, são os principais alvos das ressalvas pro- movidas pelos antiateístas. Com raízes na Antiguidade, as oposições entre defenso- res e detratores de deus, em suas variadas formas e nomes, persiste no século XXI, acumulando novos e ferrenhos adeptos (tanto da crença quanto da descrença). Neste artigo, abordam-se questões relacionadas à diferença, à tolerância e à crença de motivação religiosa.
ANTIPEDAGOGISMO
Authors: Franco Maria Amélia Santoro
Published: March 2020

O antipedagogismo é um conceito não muito usual na história da pedagogia oci- dental. Sua prática pode ser entendida como uma reação/uma resistência ou um movimento que ocorre em contraposição a um pedagogismo. Pedagogismo, por sua vez, é considerado, no Brasil, um termo quase que pejorativo para identificar um excesso de doutrina pedagógica; um excesso de prática pedagógica que impede ou anula a reflexão; uma deturpação das intenções iniciais de uma doutrina peda- gógica. O presente artigo busca na história da Pedagogia identificar alguns movi- mentos que podem ser considerados como antipedagogistas, pois configuraram-se como contraposição às doutrinas vigentes da época; a seguir, foca nos movimentos mais marcantes que contrapontuaram a pedagogia brasileira no século XX e con- clui considerando que os movimentos antipedagogistas funcionaram como alavan- cas para a transformação das práticas pedagógicas e que devem ser compreendidos na perspectiva da totalidade, como sínteses de múltiplas determinações.
