Authors: Cervo Heitor-José , Jardim-Barcellos Júlio-Otávio , Peripolli Vanessa , McManus Concepta
Published: December 2022

Background: The use of artificial insemination (AI) in dairy cattle has a direct impact on productivity through genetic improvement and, indirectly, by other technologies that allow for better expression of the genetic potential. Objective: To determine the association between the use of AI and other factors on productive performance of dairy cows. Methods: The study assessed AI impact on 195 dairy farms through the application of structured questionnaires to farmers. Analysis of variance (GLM) was used to evaluate herd milk production and farm size. Multivariate analysis was performed to observe the degree of association between AI and production. Four clusters were formed according to production traits and farm size. Results: Clusters showed high discrimination (90%). Principal factors explained 70% of the variance between clusters. The variables that best explained the variation between clusters were Lactating cows per year, Monthly milk production, Farm area and Total cows. The correspondence analyzes showed that AI use is associated with higher production levels and investment in nutrition, management, genetics, and technology. Conclusion: The use of AI enhances production by increasing productivity and enables greater gains per liter of milk marketed.

Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Evaluar los factores asociados al estado nutricional de un grupo de mujeres en periodo de lactancia materna del departamento de Antioquia.
Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal de fuentes secundarias, con información de 102 madres lactantes que viven en Antioquia, de una encuesta realizada en 2019. Se utilizó un modelo multivariado de regresión de Poisson, para ajustar la razón de prevalencias con el exceso de peso y la anemia; y un análisis de correspondencia múltiple, para evaluar los factores asociados al estado nutricional de las mujeres lactantes.
Resultados: Se halló asociación positiva con el grupo de edad, la retención de peso excesiva en el posparto y el nivel socioeconómico. En el análisis de correspondencia múltiple, las mujeres constituyeron tres conglomerados: con mejores condiciones socioeconómicas y nutricionales; con mayor vulnerabilidad socioeconómica y malnutrición por déficit, y con vulnerabilidad socioeconómica y exceso de peso.
Conclusiones: Las mujeres asumen la lactancia en medio de vulnerabilidad social y económica, déficit de micronutrientes. Es necesario documentar el estado nutricional de las mujeres en etapa de lactancia, por medio de su inclusión en las encuestas poblaciones y, de acuerdo con ello, generar lineamientos de atención durante esta etapa
Comentario de jurisprudencia de los casos de especial trascendencia constitucional
Authors: López Navío Ana
Published: December 2022

El concepto de «especial trascendencia constitucional» se introdujo en nuestro sistema jurídico con la Ley Orgánica 6/2007, de 24 de mayo, por la que se modificó la Ley Orgánica 2/1979, de 3 de octubre, del Tribunal Constitucional. Se presentó legalmente como un concepto jurídico indeterminado que causó gran inseguridad jurídica desde su introducción. Teniendo en cuenta la gran indeterminación del citado concepto, el Pleno del Tribunal consideró necesario clarificarlo. La STC 155/2009 recogió una serie  de  supuestos  en  los  que,  sin  ánimo de comprender un elenco cerrado, cabe  apreciar  la  especial  trascendencia  constitucional. No obstante, esta clarificación fue insuficiente, por lo que se hace necesario un análisis de la jurisprudencia posterior a esta sentencia para determinar el sentido de este concepto.

sedes de encuentro y protección de los intereses en las relaciones entre niveles territoriales de gobierno en Italia durante la emergencia pandémica
Authors: Pastore Fulvio
Published: December 2022

Debido a la falta de sedes estructurales y procedimentales adecuadas para llevar a cabo la relación de colaboración leal, las relaciones entre los niveles territoriales de gobierno, desde el inicio de la pandemia Covid -19, se han caracterizado por un hiperactivismo de las autonomías territoriales. En particular, las regiones se han desbordado de sus respectivas áreas de competencia, provocando serias desarmonías y contradicciones en el marco legal y poniendo en riesgo, si no haciendo casi imposible, implementar efectivamente una estrategia unitaria dirigida a contrarrestar la propagación del contagio y permitir una gestión ordenada y un desarrollo rentable de las relaciones económicas - sociales.

No obstante, si enfrentamos la grave crisis institucional provocada por la pandemia con un espíritu constructivo y positivo, puede ser una verdadera oportunidad de crecimiento. En particular, puede representar la primavera para un replanteamiento y una puesta a punto seria de la reforma del Título V de la Constitución, exactamente veinte años después de su entrada en vigor.
Determinações judiciais sobre medicamentos não padronizados: um estudo sobre as decisões do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Espírito Santo
Authors: Gomes Correia João Victor , Vetis Zaganelli Margareth
Published: December 2022

Objective: to study the judicialization of health care within the Court of Justice of the State of Espírito Santo (TJES, in Portuguese) in Brazil, using the decisions on the dispensing of nonstandard medications by the Unified Health System in 2019. Methods: data collection was performed using the quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods, based on a content analysis of the second-instance rulings of the TJES in 2019. Results and discussion: all 111 second-instance rulings studied were individual lawsuits, and a balance was observed between lawsuits filed by private lawyers and prosecutors and state public defenders in the cases studied. There was a predominantly higher number of postponements of nonstandard medications, largely through temporary guardianships. In the 88 judgments in which the request for medication was granted, a split can be seen between the use of the need/hyposufficiency parameter by the TJES and Supreme Court’s Thesis No. 106, with little reliance on National Council of Justice (CNJ, in Portuguese) testimony. For the technical reports, expert testimony predominated to the detriment of the opinions of the Justice Technical Assistance Centers (NAT-JUS, in Portuguese). Conclusion: there was the predominance of individual lawsuits, with the use of injunctions and motions to medicines, with notable performance of public bodies in litigation. The TJES adheres to precedent and prevailing Superior Court case law on the issue of nonstandard medication, granting most of the motions.

A proteção dos dados médicos e o acesso à informação de saúde em Portugal à luz do Regulamento (UE) 2016/679
Authors: Marques Roberta S. M. Fernandes R. , Machado Castelo-Branco Flávia F. L.
Published: December 2022

Objective: to analyze legislation and key issues related to the storage of patient data in databases and exceptions to confidentiality under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (new General Data Protection Regulation) and Law No. 58/2019. Methods: through a review of legislation and doctrine, we contrast the provisions that address the patient's right to privacy, the protection of medical secrecy, and access to data, and analyze the exceptions to confidentiality arising from the law and the statutes of the professional codes that protect the practice of the professions. Results: the scattering of norms dealing with data protection may lead to obstacles in the realization of the right to data protection and to doubts in the interpretation of the new Regulation. Conclusion: the new Regulation and Law No. 58/2019 are suitable to systematize data protection. However, they must be confronted with Portuguese legislation that deals with other cross-cutting issues, such as the Portuguese Basic Health Law, the General Archives Law and others, which creates additional difficulties for the user of the law.

Published: December 2022

Objective: to provide the current state of better regulation (legística in Portuguese), particularly its application to health issues. Methods: a scoping review method was used. Three databases were selected – Virtual Health Library; CAPES Journal Portal; and Google Scholar – to provide an overview of scholarly articles. The term legística was used as keyword. Only articles written in Portuguese and published between 2017 and 2021 were considered. Results: it was found that the intellectual production in Portuguese on this topic is not very numerous. Applied studies were identified only in Portugal and articles by Brazilian authors were limited to doctrinal review and publication in legal journals. There were no studies on better regulation related to public health. Conclusion: it was found that there is a knowledge gap in the field of public health, where better regulation can be a tool for the analysis and evaluation of public health policies, both before and after their publication in a legal norm.

Sobre dos conjuntos de joyas con micromosaicos y brillantes encargados por Fernando VII en 1818 y su devenir posterior
Authors: Lázaro Milla Nuria
Published: December 2022

En 1818, Fernando VII encargó la realización de dos conjuntos de joyas con micromosaicos orlados por brillantes. Los sesenta y ocho micromosaicos, con personajes mitológicos y vistas de Roma, fueron ideados por el pintor José de Madrazo y elaborados por el especialista Filippo Puglieschi, mientras que las ornamentaciones con brillantes se encomendaron al joyero Arcieri, proveyendo el rey buena parte de la pedrería. En 1831, el monarca ordenó transformar los dos aderezos en uno para María Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias, su cuarta y última esposa, quien en 1858 lo transfirió a su hija, Isabel II. Los últimos datos hallados acerca de los micromosaicos datan de 1874, cuando fueron referidos en un inventario de alhajas redactado por la soberana durante su exilio en Francia.
Oral manifestations of illicit drug use
Authors: Das Anuttam , Jalaluddin Mohammad , Sahu Natasha , Kar Souvagya R. , Brahma Priyanka , Panigrahi Priyanca
Published: December 2022

Oral health problems, among the most prevalent comorbidities related to addiction, require more attention by both clinicians and policy-makers. Our aims were to review oral complications associated with drugs, oral health care in addiction rehabilitation, health services available, and barriers against oral health promotion among addicts. Drug abuse is associated with serious oral health problems including generalized dental caries, periodontal diseases, mucosal dysplasia, xerostomia, bruxism, tooth wear, and tooth loss. Oral health care has positive effects in recovery from drug abuse: patients’ need for pain control, destigmatization, and human immune-deficiency virus (HIV) transmission. Health care systems worldwide deliver services for addicts, but most lack oral health care programs. Barriers against oral health promotion among addicts include difficulty in accessing addicts as a target population, lack of appropriate settings and of valid assessment protocols for conducting oral health studies, and poor collaboration between dental and general health care sectors serving addicts. These interfere with an accurate picture of the situation. Moreover, lack of appropriate policies to improve access to dental services, lack of comprehensive knowledge of and interest among dental professionals in treating addicts, and low demand for non-emergency dental care affect provision of effective interventions. Management of drug addiction as a multi-organ disease requires a multidisciplinary approach. Health care programs usually lack oral health care elements. Published evidence on oral complications related to addiction emphasizes that regardless of these barriers, oral health care at various levels including education, prevention, and treatment should be integrated into general care services for addicts.

Acute inflammatory demyelination polyneuropathy (AIDP) or acute idiopathic polyneuritis are the other key synonyms for Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) with ascending characteristics of weakness, mild sensorium loss, areflexia or hyporeflexia. GBS has been seen most commonly among the younger age group, and a male predominance has been reported. The case reports demonstrate a case of a 66-year-old female admitted to the causality department with abrupt onset of giddiness, diplopia, and headache the patient was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and atypical GBS and shifted to the ward for further treatment. The patient was in the intensive-care unit due to mild ischemic changes in the MRI brain and bilateral facial neuropathy. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulins and I.V. glucocorticoids. The patient was discharged on the 25th day of admission without support walk and full extraocular movements. The case report demonstrates the essential use of high clinical knowledge and investigation for a prompt treatment for a such rare disorder.

Authors: Singh Gurpreet , Soman Biju , Grover Gagandeep Singh
Published: December 2022

Background: Understanding spatiotemporal epidemiology using open-source and reproducible algorithms add value to routine health information systems. Objectives were to estimate spatial clustering, identify spatial clusters and space-time hotspots of dengue.Methods: Queen’s contiguity neighborhood matrix and row-standardized spatial weights were used. Spatial clustering was estimated using Moran’s I. Local Moran’s I with sensitivity analysis at 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 significance levels were performed. The space-time cube model was developed. Gi* statistic and seasonal Mann Kendal test identified persistent and intensifying, persistent, persistent and diminishing, emerging, oscillating, new, historical, and sporadic hotspot sub-districts. Analysis was carried out using R version 4.1.0.Results: The expected Moran’s value was -0.00671. Significant spatial clustering was observed annually in 2016-2018 (p<0.01, <0.01, and 0.04, respectively) and was most common in August, followed by July and November.  High-high, high-low, low-low, and low-high sub-district clusters were identified between Aug-Dec from 2015-19. Sensitivity analysis highlighted the core and spread of spatial clusters. Faridkot and Muktsar blocks/ sub-districts were persistent and intensifying hotspots.Conclusions: Spatial clusters were dynamic in space and time. The development of open-source algorithms provides a reproducible and scalable platform for future research and evidence for informed decision-making by public health managers.
Effects of Pavement Roughness and Dynamic Tank Load on the Bridge Response
Authors: Rasol Duaa M. , Al-Zaidee Salah R.
Published: December 2022

This study aims to investigate the dynamic Load allowance variation (DLA) of dynamic tank Loads and compare it with Iraq's standard specifications for road bridges. DLA is considered a simple measurement of the dynamic variation magnitude of the tank load for a specific combination of road roughness and speed. In addition to determining the stochastic dynamic response of the bridge. Al-Awsej bridge in Iraq, with a span of 33.2 m and a principal road with four pavement roughness classes (very good, good, average, and poor), was proposed as a case study in this analysis. A spectral closed-form solution was used for evaluating the dynamic tank load due to the passage of a tank type-72A at a constant speed of 40,50,60 and 70 km/hr along a bridge with different types of rough pavement surface. The results show the less value of DLA for very good pavement at 40 km/hr is about 0.032, and the largest value is about 0.293 at 70 km/hr for poor pavement. Also, road surface roughness greatly influences vehicle-bridge interactions and bridge responses. Where at 40 km/hr, the Root mean square of bridge deflection range from 0.31 to 2.75 mm and 0.39 to 3.14 mm at 70 km/hr.

Published: December 2022

The use of thermal insulation is one of the most crucial solutions for reducing energy consumption when designing buildings. In this study, we investigate the use of various types of thermal insulation (air, cellulose, fiberglass, mineral wool, polystyrene, and polyurethane foam) to determine the best location when designing. The numerical study is done using ANSYS/FLUENT 16 software and an enthalpy-porosity formalism. According to the study's findings, all heat insulators investigated offer effective insulation, but some of them, like air, have characteristics that make them challenging to employ. The remaining insulators satisfy all requirements for usage as a thermal insulator. Given that it possesses all the necessary characteristics to be used as a thermal insulator, (polystyrene) is one of the most important insulators that are readily available locally. The use of thermal insulation in buildings reduces the need for refrigeration equipment to maintain comfortable conditions, which has a significant negative impact on the environment.
Exosomal miR-655-3p inhibits growth, and invasion and macrophage M2 polarization through targeting CXCR4 in papillary thyroid carcinoma
Authors: Qiao Lei , Dong Chao , Jia Wenlei , Ma Binlin
Published: December 2022

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an endocrine malignancy whose incidence has increased rapidly worldwide. Exosome-miR-655-3p was down-regulated in patients with PTC. However, the effect and molecular mechanism of exosome-miR-655-3p in PTC was indistinct until now. Our study found that exosome-miR-655-3p was decreased in serum of PTC patients. Overexpression of miR-655-3p with mimics significantly shrunk the cell viability, reduced the number of chemotactic and invasive PTC cells. Besides, the proportion of CD163 positive cells and the expression of markers of M2 subtype macrophages was markedly decreased when mononuclear macrophage THP-1 was cultured with exosomes of miR-655-3p mimics. Oppositely, the inhibitor of miR-655-3p exacerbated growth, chemotaxis and invasion of PTC cells, and enhanced the M2 subtype macrophages. Structurally, miR-655-3p could target the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of CXCR4 and restrict the expression of CXCR4. In Xenograft tumor experiment, upregulated exosome-miR-655-3p effectively inhibited the growth of tumor and reduced the expression of CXCR4, Ki67 and CD163 in vivo. In summary, exosomal miR-655-3p inhibited growth, invasion and macrophage M2 polarization through targeting CXCR4 in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Regulating exosome-miR-655-3p/CXCR4 may be a potential treatment strategy for PTC.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ghana has recorded a total of 130, 727 confirmed cases with 1,207 deaths at the time of writing this article. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on nations and regions all around the world since it started and Ghana is no exception. This systematic review discusses COVID-19 measures in Ghana, the impact of COVID-19 on the import and export of Agricultural inputs and food, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on local food system actors. In the second part, measures to prevent food insecurity in Ghana during the outbreak of the pandemic, emerging lessons, and building resilience have also been presented. In several production regions, the Ghanaian food system experienced disturbances that resulted in reduced output due to limited labor mobility; nevertheless, these disruptions were minor and did not appear to have a significant impact on production. The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted food supplies, putting billions of people's food security in jeopardy. According to some estimates, global hunger might treble as a result of food supply disruptions, especially in poor countries around the world. Ghana's economy is beginning to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in order to maintain this recovery, the government will need to continue to support both the productive and vulnerable sectors of the economy. Finally, there has never been a better time to eat more of what we grow and to grow more of what we eat than right now.
Deregulated Brain's Central Clock Management on Sleep-Wake Behavior in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Melatonin & Sleep Pattern
Authors: Zafari Zangeneh Farideh
Published: December 2022

The aim of this narrative review is to investigate the reciprocal correlation between melatonin through the brain's central clock management on sleep-wake behavior in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Biological clocks are genetically programmed physiological systems that permit organisms to live in harmony with natural rhythms. The most important function of a biological clock is to regulate overt circadian biological rhythms. Circadian rhythms orchestrate the body's rhythmic physiologic functions like sleep-wake and menstruation cycle. Stress hormones, beta-endorphins, and melatonin which can easily affect the woman's reproductive system. For example, amplitude changes in the luteal phase are one of the results of menstrual-related disorders that occur through this circadian fluctuation. Many reports indicate that levels of melatonin and stress hormones are altered in women with PCOS. The melatonin metabolites are significantly raised in the level of night-time urinary in women with PCOS, which is associated with a significant reduction of sleep quality compared to normal women. The result of this narrative review showed the circadian rhythm as a normal coordinated function is a regulator of the natural structure of sleep-wake architecture. Disruption of this natural pattern can lead to phasic activation of the HPA axis, which increases the continuation of circadian activation; which there is in women with PCOS.

Authors: Tabe Afshar S , Toofan S , Saghafi Asl A
Published: December 2022

Introduction: The workplace is one of the most significant environments where people spend most of their time. Lack of acoustic comfort is one of the most important factors that threaten the health and well-being of employees in these workplaces all days. The purpose of this study, while identifying the symptoms caused by noise problems among employees, is to identify the main parameters and investigate the role of architecture in the expansion of unhealthy workplaces.
Method and material: The current study was conducted among the employees of three administrative buildings in Urmia city (Road and Urban Development, Construction Engineering Organization, and Airport). The sample size was 226 out of 309 employees were selected based on Morgan's table.The required data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation) and the Friedman test by SPSS-25 software.
Results: The average ranks of the symptoms showed that fatigue (4.62), hearing problems (6.05), headache (6.30), muscle pains (7.01), high stress (8.41), quick anger (8.55) and distraction and poor concentration (8.58), were among the most symptoms caused by a noise among employees. Also, disturbances caused by other people's conversations (59.22%) and overcrowding and lack of individual speech privacy (41.99%) were among the most parameters, having frequent noise complaints.
Conclusion: The results of the investigation indicated that the inefficient environment design and lack of spaces flexibility, inappropriate placement and lack of acoustic insulation of surfaces inside noisy uses, high environment density and lack of sufficient space for employees, lack of installation systems maintenance, were among the most reasons for frequent noise complaints.
Modern Slavery and Migrant Smuggling: A Sustainable Development Perspective
Authors: Szablewska Natalia
Published: December 2022

Modern slavery—denoting acute exploitation of people for personal or commercial gain—is said to affect nearly 50 million people around the globe, making it a global issue that requires coordinated crosssectoral and integrated responses. Some efforts have been made to that effect, including through an emerging legislative regulation at domestic and regional levels. Migrants, in particular those with unsettled status, are particularly vulnerable to modern forms of slavery due to manifold enabling circumstances, including the lack of, or capacity to offer them, protection or limited access to legitimate forms of employment or social protection. However, global responses to migrant smuggling and irregular migrants are in stark contrast to the commitments made to address modern slavery. The increasing focus on the securitisation of migration obscures the underlying social, economic and political ‘push’ factors that fuel modern slavery. Thus, a more comprehensive response is needed that examines the issues of migration management, market regulation and development more widely. This paper uses a comparative lens to examine global developments in regulating labour-related forms of modern slavery vis-à-vis migration management in the context of achieving sustainable development goals.

Privacy in LA Research
Authors: Viberg Olga , Mutimukwe Chantal , Grönlund Åke
Published: December 2022

Protection of student privacy is critical for scaling up the use of learning analytics (LA) in education. Poorly implemented frameworks for privacy protection may negatively impact LA outcomes and undermine trust in the discipline. To design and implement models and tools for privacy protection, we need to understand privacy itself. To develop better understanding and build ground for developing tools and models for privacy protection, this paper examines how privacy hitherto has been defined by LA scholars, and how those definitions relate to the established approaches to define privacy. We conducted a scoping review of 59 articles focused on privacy in LA. In most of these studies (74%), privacy was not defined at all; 6% defined privacy as a right, 11% as a state, 15% as control, and 16% used other approaches to explain privacy in LA. The results suggest a need to define privacy in LA to be able to enact a responsible approach to the use of student data for analysis and decision-making.

INTERSEÇÕES ENTRE FILOSOFIA DA LINGUAGEM E PROCESSO PENAL: repensando as bases do direito pelas lentes de Luis Alberto Warat
Authors: Mezzalira Ana Carolina
Published: December 2022

Considerando os desafios enfrentados no campo do Processo Penal brasileiro envolvendo a adequada interpretação e aplicação da lei, pretende-se verificar a possibilidade de repensar as bases teóricas que embasam as ciências jurídicas, propiciando uma abertura por meio da filosofia da linguagem, através das lições do jusfilósofo Luis Alberto Warat. Com base em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, através do método dedutivo, pretende-se compreender de que forma as reflexões trazidas por Warat podem ser úteis a novas ponderações no universo das ciências criminais, especialmente no campo do processo penal, território marcado por discursos de poder. Concluiu-se que o estudo da linguagem é uma importante alternativa para desenvolver meios metodológicos e teóricos mais qualificados a auxiliar o operador do Direito na interpretação da lei,percebendo-se insuficiente meras mudanças normativas, já que tais não são capazes de modificar práticas sociais e de poder arraigadas na significação das palavras usadas pelo intérprete.
Abiotic Stress Management in Fruit Crops: A Review
Authors: Dhanyasree K. , Rafeekher M. , Premachandran Amal
Published: December 2022

The current changes in fruit production scenario challenged the quality and quantity of fruits required for the vast population. The abiotic and biotic stresses, encountered at critical growth stages and adversely affect productivity of plants. The abiotic stresses like drought, extremes temperature floods and salinity have emerged as major challenges for production of crops. The different abiotic stressescause morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes and ultimately impacting the productivity and quality of plants. Timely intervention with appropriate adaptation strategies would help in realizing sustainable yields and further enable to overcome adverse effects of abiotic stresses. Successful cultivation of crops and attaining reasonable yields under abiotic stress situations mainly depends on the available adaptation options. Practices like modification in cultural practices, adopting novel irrigation, choice of tolerant rootstocks, choice of tolerant cultivars/crops and biotechnological approaches are to be implemented for alleviating adverse effects. Though, the productivity of fruit crops remains low in areas experiencing abiotic stresses. Therefore, focus is required for developing integrated location-specific and crop- specific adaptation strategies for various abiotic stresses. The integration of all available adaptation options would be the most effective approach in sustaining the production and productivity of fruit crops under abiotic stresses.

Published: December 2022

El cambio climático puede causar eventos de estrés en los cultivos, principalmente por los cambios generados sobre la precipitación y la temperatura. Dentro de los cultivos que se ven afectados se encuentran los frutales, un grupo de especies de gran importancia por su valor nutritivo en la dieta humana. Estas especies se pueden ver afectados por condiciones de estrés abiótico debido a cambios en la disponibilidad hídrica, la temperatura y la radiación. Por esta razón se han generado distintas alternativas que podrían mitigar dicha afectación, como la aplicación exógena de brasinoesteroides (BR). Los BR desempeñan un papel importante en el crecimiento y desarrollo de las plantas, además está involucrado en la respuesta de las plantas al estrés abiótico por medio de la regulación en la concentración de solutos, apertura estomática, protección del aparato fotosintético y el aumento de la capacidad antioxidante, principalmente. Este artículo de revisión busca sintetizar el papel de los brasinoesteroides en el crecimiento y desarrollo de los frutales, así como la función que desempeñan en la respuesta a condiciones de estrés abiótico, expresión génica y balance hormonal.

Why Autoethnography?
Authors: Bochner Authur P , Ellis Carolyn
Published: December 2022

Autoethnography addresses the need and desire to make the human sciences more human by writing in ways that are more poignant, touching, vulnerable, and heartfelt. Since social work is a field not only of facts but also of meanings and values, researchers should not be obliged to cling to a narrow range of methodologies and writing genres that may be scientifically acceptable but poorly suited to the broad objectives of the field. Concerned more with evocation than information, autoethnography enables researchers and practitioners to address what it feels like, and what it can mean, to be alive and living in a chaotic and uncertain world, and to show others how they might endure it and move forward. As we developed evocative autoethnography, we not only questioned the boundaries between social sciences and humanities, we tried to stretch and cross them in ways that would create new practitioners and new genres for representing lived experience appealing to the hearts and senses of readers as well as their intellects.
Autoethnography and social work: Strange bedfellows or complementary partners?
Authors: Witkin Stanley
Published: December 2022

Abstract: Despite autoethnography’s congruence with social work’s values and aims, such as its focus on social justice and marginalized lives, there has been a dearth of publications using autoethnography in social work journals and books. Possible reasons for this situation include the dominance of conventional research, institutional barriers, and the challenges of conducting an autoethnographic study such as writing in a more reflexive, literary, and narrative style. I describe the strengths of autoethnography in relation to social work research, practice, and education, using examples from my early experiences with autoethnography and my later use of autoethnography as an approach to educational enrichment. Although autoethnography has much to offer social work and should assume a more prominent position as an approach to inquiry and professional development, I question whether this will occur without changes to current academic, institutional, and philosophical views. Nevertheless, focusing attention on autoethnography as in this special issue seems like a promising development.
Collaborative autoethnography and social work
Authors: Gant Val
Published: December 2022

Like autoethnography, (AE), collaborative autoethnography (CAE) results in highly personalised narrative accounts of the researcher’s engagement with specific sociocultural contexts. CAE adds a collective interpretation to that engagement. While CAE has thus far been little used in social work practice and education, it is an emerging methodological approach that offers new and different insights and opportunities. This paper discusses CAE and its relationship with social work practice and education. In it I discuss how CAE allows for a collective exploration of an individual experience and how these explorations, and the process of obtaining them, have many benefits for social work practitioners and social work students alike. The similarities between CAE and social work are highlighted, by focussing on some of the very core skills and values that lie at the heart of social work, such as listening, collaborating and showing empathy, CAE would seem a natural progression for inquiry within social work. This contribution to the special issue has implications for both social work practice and social work education.
Factor analysis of functioning and development of higher education market in the Orel Region
Authors: Astakhova Natalia N. , Fedorova Marina A. , Fedorov Maxim G.
Published: December 2022

Higher education market is currently dynamically developing under the influence of the processes of digitalization, globalization, as well as the formation of an innovative economy. But this development is actively hindered by a number of deep structural problems that have worsened during the economic and demographic crises. Regional universities face a serious challenge in the form of a steady decline in the number of students, as well as the ongoing state policy of optimization. The modern higher education market does not have time to adapt to the requirements of the labor market, which causes a personnel imbalance. This has determined the relevance of the research, which purpose is to determine the factors of development of the higher education market. The study on issue in the Orel Region demonstrates that such factors as the population size, age groups distribution, income level of the population, the regulatory and legal provision of higher education, the level of employment and migration processes in the region have a significant impact on the demand and consumption of educational services, as well as the number of university students. The conducted research has shown that in the Orel Region there is no qualitatively established connection between the regional labor market and the higher education market, which leads to a shortage of certain personnel in the region and, as a result, to an imbalance in the labor market. The revealed negative trends indicate the need for regional universities to mobilize internal forces aimed at activating the strategy of attracting applicants. To attract the maximum number of applicants, the marketing strategy should focus mainly on the positioning of the university in all media. Conducting professional tests at the faculties will attract talented high school graduates to the university. The inflow of additional funds to regional funds can ensure the introduction of a system of a lesser qualification in the course of training and the creation of endowment funds. These measures can be considered as a system of anti-crisis measures aimed at developing the market of educational services in the field of higher education.
