Carnival forms of suggestion in Ukrainian information space in the context of aconsciousness war
Authors: Snytko Olena
Published: June 2019

The article examines the carnival forms of suggestion – a widely observed phenomenon on the Internet in Ukraine – in the context of the consciousness war. The carnivalization of consciousness and human existence are considered characteristic features of modern culture, which is also defined by transitivity. Carnivalization is found in various forms of modern culture, in particular, in elite (postmodern), mass and in (youth) counterculture, as well as in all spheres of public life. A systematic, consistent use of the so-called carnival forms of suggestive influence appears a popular phenomenon of the Ukrainian culture of the last several decades. The main carnival mechanism is laughter. This tool plays an important role in self-organization of social life and facilitates the perception of truth. A close study into the countersuggestion means actively used on the Internet in Ukraine during the violent informational and psychological confrontation in 2014-2018 has proven a high effectiveness of the so-called carnival forms. These forms of suggestion, which emerged spontaneously on the Internet during the most difficult months and years of the Russian aggression, played a key role in information protection ensuring and information countermeasures in Ukraine. Having the creolized character and all the signs of a suggestion, these texts have had and continue having a stabilizing effect on the consciousness of individuals improving their emotional intelligence. The carnival forms actualizing these therapeutic countersuggestive texts are organic and effective in the era of crucial worldview changes taking place in the present-day Ukraine. Moreover, the laughter is claimed an effective tool exposing the current political situation, relieving from fear, approving new thoughts and ideas and debunking negative narratives. Furthermore, the suggestive nature of verbal texts organically interacts with audiovisual means of influence and is supported by micro-rhythms of all levels, primarily by lexical, grammatical, and phonetic repetitions, which help to consolidate the primary meanings. Finally, the methods of randomizing ideas, breaking patterns, and creating cognitive dissonance are widely used in the creolized political texts.
Burials in Anthropomorphic Jars in the Philippines
Authors: Tabarev A. V. , Patrusheva A. E. , Cuevas N.
Published: June 2019

The fi rst joint study by Russian and Philippine archaeologists addresses an unusual variant of a burial tradition distributed in Island Southeast Asia – burials in anthropomorphic clay jars, found in Ayub Cave (southern Mindanao Island, Philippines), excavated by specialists from the National Museum of the Philippines in 1991–1992, and tentatively dated to 500 BC to 500 AD. Of special interest are lids of jars shaped as painted human heads with individualized facial features and expressions. The fi nds suggest that Ayub Cave was a necropolis of the tribe elite, and that vessels were produced by a special group of potters using elaborate “prestige technologies”. The Ayub ceramic collection has various parallels relating to clay fi gurines and decoration including painting, among Late Neolithic and Early Metal Age assemblages from the Philippines (Luzon, Palawan, and Negros Islands), Indonesia (Sumba, Flores, and Bali Islands), and other regions of the Pacifi c Basin from Japan (Jomon) and Korea (Early Iron Age burials) to Vanuatu Islands (Lapita culture). These parallels suggest that the source of the anthropomorphic symbolism was the Austronesian migration with one of its routes passing from southern China via Taiwan, the northern Philippines, Mariana Islands, and further south to Melanesia and Polynesia.
The Armenian Epic “Daredevils of Sassoun” and the Mahābhārata: Similarity of the Ethnographic Substratum
Authors: Vassilkov Y. V.
Published: June 2019

The author summarizes the results of his search for parallels between the Armenian epic “Sasna cṙer” (“Daredevils of Sassoun”) and the Mahābhārata. The comparative study has revealed considerable similarity in the “ethnographic substratum” of both epics, particularly that relating to the archaic social organization mirrored by the epic. The earliest layer of both the Armenian and the Indian epics retains the memory of a rural, largely pastoral society, in which an important role was played by the fraternities of young warriors. In the Armenian epic, this is indicated by recurrent motifs such as the young heroes’ rampage followed by exile, the foundation of their own outpost in the backwoods, young male warriors’ fraternities, their defense of herds, warding off enemy attacks, battle frenzy (a common characteristic of all the Sasun heroes), their immutable tutor and leader (“uncle”) Keri Toros, allusions to orgiastic feasts, premarital freedom enjoyed by boys and girls, etc. In Armenians, these motifs were supported by the existence until the recent times of age sets, described by ethnographers. The comparative study of the Armenian epic reveals its hitherto unnoticed socio-historical aspects. Its wider use for studying other epic traditions (not only Indo-European but also those of other peoples inhabiting the Caucasus and the Eurasian steppes) will contribute to the comparative epic studies.
The Theory of L.I. Bozhovich: Personality, Mind, Individuality
Authors: Tolstykh N.N.
Published: June 2019

The paper focuses on some aspects of L.I. Bozhovich’s theory with respect to the modern context and the context of 1970s, for instance, on her thoughts regarding the correlation between mental and personality development, between an individual and personality. The issue of the relation between natural and higher mental functions and personality is also important, especially due to a growing interest in neuroscience. The paper discusses Bozhovich’s views on the theory of activity and her disagreement with several key postulates of A.N. Leontiev, as well as with certain theses of the theory and practice of developmental learning (at least in the form it was back then, in her time). Also, the paper addresses the problem of will, a book on which L.I. Bozhovich left unfinished. I present my own views on the relationship between will and self-regulation in the context of Bozhovich’s theory and set forth a hypothesis on the different sources and developmental patterns of will and self-regulation.
Study of Stress Tolerance and Resilience of Employees of Penal System
Authors: Tsvetkova N.A. , Kulakova S.V.
Published: June 2019

The article presents the results of a psychological survey of 90 employees, who determined the level of organizational stress and a degree of development of two professionally important qualities - stress tolerance and resilience. Three psychodiagnostic methods were used: 1) K. McLean scale of organizational stress in N. Vodopyanova's adaptation; 2) the method of studying stress tolerance as a socio-psychological quality of a person; 3) S. Muddy test of resilience. It was found that about 75% of employees deferred by a low overall level of organizational stress and at the same time they had a high level of stress tolerance and resilience; 17% of employees demonstrated a high level of organizational stress, 6% of which was characterized by a low level of stress tolerance. The consistent patterns are established as a result of the correlation analysis: the more active and productive an employee is, the higher his resilience and vice versa; the older the employee, the lower his control indicator; with increasing work experience, flexibility in employee behavior increases. The results of a comparative analysis by gender mark significant differences in the overall level of stress tolerance (higher among women) and the ability of self-knowledge (more developed among men). The psychological conditions for increasing stress tolerance and resilience on an individual level, as well as social and psychological conditions for reducing organizational stress are described.
Constitutional Psychology as a Field of Scientific Knowledge and Cultural Phenomenon
Authors: Anichkin E.S. , Kashirskiy D.V.
Published: June 2019

The article focuses on the formation of a new scientific branch – constitutional psychology. Тwo articulated forms of constitutional psychology are justified: first, as a field of scientific knowledge that contains its own subject, objectives and research methods; second, as a cultural phenomenon which is observed at the level of the individual psychology and personality. The importance to distinguish these two capacities of constitutional psychology is underlined; their mismatch, mutual transitions and ontological unity is noted. The authors highlight the place of constitutional psychology as a theoretical construct in the general system of psychological knowledge, and, in particular, in the field of legal psychology. The attributes of Russian constitutional psychology as a cultural phenomenon expressed in the mind of a particular person are considered. The formation of constitutional psychology will contribute to a deeper understanding of problematiques on the edge of psychology and law fields, will facilitate extensive empirical research aimed at studying a wide spectrum of psychological phenomenology, which reflects actual constitutional-legal relations in personal mind. The results of this work will serve as a basis for meeting objectives of the national constitutional-legal development.
Relacja mistrz – uczeń: coaching czy mentoring?
Authors: Gallas Maciej
Published: June 2019

W artykule poddaję analizie relację pomiędzy uczniem, kształconym w zakresie praktycznego przedmiotu artystycznego a jego nauczycielem. Poszukuję w tej relacji cech mentoringu i coachingu. Rozumienie obu pojęć wywodzę z psychologii biznesu i próbuję odnaleźć cechy wspólne, łączące tę, z pozoru, odległą dziedzinę z dydaktycznym procesem dochodzenia do mistrzostwa wykonawczego. Po kolei omawiam definicje i podobieństwa oraz różnice obu koncepcji. Opisuję proces dydaktyczny w zakresie praktycznego przedmiotu muzycznego analizując wszystkie jego etapy i przyrównując je do poszczególnych cech mentoringu i coachingu. Snuję również rozważania na temat psychologicznych konsekwencji nieadekwatnego stosowania mentoringu lub coachingu w przebiegu poszczególnych etapów kształcenia. Konkluzja mojego artykułu jest następująca: mentoring jest bardziej naturalny i przydatny w początkowym etapie nauki, coaching warto zastosować w jej końcowej fazie, gdy bardziej istotne jest poszukiwanie oryginalności i niepowtarzalności. Stawiam sobie za cel inspirować czytelników do zgłębienia i eksplorowania omawianych idei oraz stosowania ich w praktyce dydaktycznej.

Master-Student Relations, coaching or mentoring
SUMMARY
The article presents the problem of application of mentoring and coaching (concepts from the psychology of business) in the methodology of teaching music art subjects. The author discusses the following issues: relations between a master and a student; the defi nition of mentoring and coaching; similarities and differences between mentoring and coaching; the role of a mentor and a coach as teachers of music art subject; stages of work of a teacher as part of the concept of mentoring and coaching; psychological consequences of inadequate application of mentoring or coaching during particular stages of education. In conclusions, the author underlines that mentoring is a historical approach and is customarily strongly rooted in artistic pedagogy, and the “master-student” relation is its most accurate implementation. In contrast, coaching is a relatively young idea, and in the case of teaching music, it is also intuitively used. Mentoring leads to and gives information, whereas coaching asks questions and mobilizes to activity. The process of music teaching of the artistic subject may include both these methods. They merge and supplement each other. Mentoring is more natural and useful at the initial stage of teaching, coaching is worth applying in its fi nal stage, when seeking originality and uniqueness becomes more important.

This article deals with the issue of masking the homicide by its perpetrator. The considerations made hereby are an attempt to bring the problem of the behavior of the homicide culprit at the crime scene, as well as outside of it, which are aimed at avoiding criminal liability for the committed crime. Unlimited human imagination leads to a multitude of ways in which criminals can behave in order to try to hinder or prevent their detection by law enforcement agencies. In addition, it should be noted that on the basis of the Polish Penal Code, the perpetrators who mask their offences do not bear criminal liability.
Model stosunku pracy w szkolnictwie wyższym – ujęcie teoretycznoprawne
Authors: Koman Angelika
Published: June 2019

There is no uniform model of employment in Polish legislation. The shape of the employment relationship of an academic employee is strongly influenced by the specific normative relationship that exists between the Labour Code and the Law on Higher Education. It should be noted that the Law on Higher Education is not a sufficient regulation. It regulates, in principle, sufficiently those issues that require, due to its nature, a different than regulatory code. The relations between these two acts are diverse, which results from the construction of Article 5 of the Labour Code. The statutory regulations affect the shape of the employment relationship. Each college as part of its autonomy can regulate various issues, creating many different hybrid work relationship models.
Przegląd ustawodawstwa reglamentującego korzystanie z powierzchni ziemi. Zagadnienia administracyjnoprawne
Authors: Król Monika A.
Published: June 2019

Degradation of the land in various forms is one of the basic and persistent global problems. Irrational agricultural activity, deforestation, increasing industrialization and progressive urbanization lead to the loss of important functions of this natural resource. This is a serious problem throughout the European Union, as evidenced by statistical data disclosed in reports of the European Commission. Due to the failure to develop regulations at the EU level ordering the issues of protection of land surface and the fragmentary nature of binding regulations, each of the Member States, including Poland, selected legal means to achieve the assumed objectives related to both the obligation to protect the function of this resource, quality monitoring, registration pollution, or restoring utility and natural values. The aim of the conducted research was to analyze legal regulations establishing administrative law forms of rationing for the use of earth’s surface and their assessment in terms of implementing the principles of sustainable management of this resource. It should be stated that the gradually introduced instruments of land use regulation are not completely used to implement the principle of sustainable land management, although de lege ferenda would have to make an application for ensuring stable, comprehensive and coherent solutions.

ENERGY AND EXERGY ANALYSIS OF A VAPOR ABSORPTION REFRIGERATION SYSTEM IN AN INTERCITY BUS APPLICATION
Authors: KURTULMUŞ Nazım
Published: June 2019

A Vapor Absorption Refrigeration (VAR) system driven
by the exhaust gas waste heat received from the internal combustion engine of
an intercity bus is modeled and analyzed for air-conditioning the intercity bus
cabin under different operating parameters. Initially, the hourly comfort
cooling load of the intercity bus is calculated for a cooling season spanning
five months between May and October in Turkey. After determining the capacity
of heat source sufficiency for air-conditioning the intercity bus, energy and
exergy analyses of the VAR system are conducted, then designed and compared
with the vapor compression refrigeration system in respect to the effect of
fuel consumption. The results show that approximately 4,489 kg/year of fuel can
be saved by using the VAR system driven by an exhaust gas waste heat in an
intercity bus. The maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of the VAR system
is obtained as 0.78 at 5 a.m. in May, and the maximum total exergy destruction
for the VAR system is obtained as 15.25 kW at 4 p.m. in July. Lastly, the
specific time is selected to investigate the effect of operating and
environmental parameters on the VAR system.

Authors: Patel Dhara , Upadhyay Nisha
Published: June 2019

Background: It is very difficult to recognize the cases with mild-to-moderate malnutrition because clinical criteria for their diagnosis are imprecise and are difficult to interpret accurately. The objective of the study was daily weight gain in gram/kg/day in severely malnourished children.Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study in which total of 114 consecutive patients of SAM less than 5 years treated for complications of severe acute malnutrition using WHO protocol. The study design included 114 children from the NRC and then followed up the period of 6 months to assess the nutritional status during the period of initial stage and the entire follow up period using available record of anthropometry indicators of the admitted children recruited in the study at the NRC.Results: Mean weight at admission was 6.4 Kg, 6.5 Kg and 6.2 Kg of overall, boys and girls respectively. Mean weight at discharge was 6.8 Kg, 6.7 Kg and 6.6 Kg of overall, boys and girls respectively. Mean MUAC at admission was 10.7 cm, 10.9 cm and 10.6 cm of overall, boys and girls respectively. Mean MUAC at discharge was 10.9 cm, 10.9 cm and 10.8 cm of overall, boys and girls respectively.Conclusions: For treatment of severe acute malnutrition, systematic guidelines required, thus this study indicates that following WHO guidelines, it has become easier to manage SAM in hospital settings, with least possible stay at hospital. The objective of the study was to know the effect of nutritional intervention measures on selected anthropometric indicators of severe acute malnourished children.

Authors: Pandey Deepmala , Yadav Ankur
Published: June 2019

Background: Diagnosis of tuberculosis is a challenge especially among children. GeneXpert has been recommended as a diagnostic test in children. Objectives of this study was to efficacy of GeneXpert over other diagnostic modalities of Tuberculosis like Sputum smear microscopy, Mantoux testing, X-ray chest among children.Methods: A cross sectional hospital-based study was conducted over a period of 24 months among 150 children. All the patients who were having suspicion of Tuberculosis on the basis of History & Examination (fulfilling inclusion criteria) had been enrolled in the study. After doing all preliminary investigations clinical diagnosis has been made and Gene X’pert was carried out for all the samples collected. Pearson chi square test and Fishers exact test was applied wherever appropriate.Results: There was statistically no significant (p >0.05) difference of GeneXpert positivity within different age groups of Suspected TB patients. GeneXpert was positive in 80% with symptom of Cough lasting more than 2 weeks, in 78.8% with fever more than 2 weeks, in 88.9% with FTT, in 76.5% with H/O Koch’s contact, in 77.8% with H/O convulsion, in 69% with significant lymphadenopathy. GeneXpert was positive in all suspected TB patients having ZN staining positive for AFB. In clinically TB diagnosed patients, 86.5% were positive for GeneXpert.Conclusions: GeneXpert is a novel diagnostic modality of choice in all suspected Pulmonary & Extra-pulmonary TB cases among children. It can be used as a primary tool in Pulmonary TB with smear negative samples in pediatric age group.

Published: June 2019

Background: Information on social characteristics in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected Nigerian children is scarce. The association between social characteristics such as single parenthood, low socio-economic status, polygamy and lack of parental education on the outcome of paediatric HIV admissions has been under studied.Methods: Information was obtained from the case notes of HIV infected children between the year 2006 and 2012 at a Nigerian tertiary hospital. Details of the information extracted include socio-demographics, diagnoses and outcome of management. Data was analysed with the SPSS 18 software.Results: Fifty (1.73%) of the total 2897 paediatric admissions were due to HIV disease. The mean age of the children studied was 3.7±2.9years and the 50 children were made up by 27 boys and 23 girls, giving a male to female ratio of 1:0.9. The mean age of the mothers and fathers were 28.7 and 36.7 years respectively. Pneumonia, septicaemia and tuberculosis accounted for more than 60% of admissions. Five (10.0%) children were from the upper, 12 (24.0%) from the middle and 33 (766.0%) from the lower socioeconomic classes. Twenty-four parents (couples) were both sero-positive for HIV and 7 discordant. Nineteen (38.0%) could not be classified because the status of the father was unknown. Of the 7 sero-discordant parents, 3 sero-negative fathers neglected their families. Thirty-nine children were from monogamous homes, nine from polygamous and two were raised by single parents. There were two discharges against medical advice and eleven deaths. The average number of siblings of the children studied was 2.57±2.1. Mortalities on admission were significantly associated with, parental financial constraints and the admitted HIV infected child having more than one sibling (p<0.05).Conclusions: It was concluded that appropriate interventions to manage these associations will most likely improve the outcome of admissions. Strategies of improving disclosure and prevention of negative outcome of disclosures, such as family neglect in sero-discordant couples also need to be identified.
Study of risk factors for severe pneumonia among children between 2 months to 5 years of age
Authors: Shah Vijay B. , Mehta Kirti
Published: June 2019

Background: Acute respiratory illness is responsible for 19% of all deaths in children in below five years of age and 8.2% of all disability as measured by DALY. Recent studies have added other risk factors to the list including large family size, poor socioeconomic status, family history of bronchitis, advanced birth order, crowding, young age, air pollution, and the use of non-allopathic treatment in early stages of illness. Also, indoor air pollution is one of the major risk factors for acute lower respiratory tract infection in children in developing countries. The objectives of this study were to identify and compare the risk factors associated with severe and very severe pneumonia.Methods: A prospective observational study. Children between 2 months to 5 years with clinical features of severe pneumonia were included in the study. Socioeconomic history like the type of house, family size, sanitary facilities and fuel-based cooking was recorded. Detailed history about immunization, feeding practice and degree of malnutrition was recorded. Chi Square test was used to determine significant differences between two groups.Results: Total 150 patients could be included in the study. Immunization status shows that 74% were completely immunized, 9% were unimmunized and 17% were partially immunized. Most of the children were breast fed 95.33% and only 4.67% were bottle fed. 30% of the cases were grade 3 and 4 PEM and anemic. The socioeconomic status showed 84% were belonged to grade 3,4 and 5 and 16% belonged to grade 1 and 2. 96.67% were living in ill ventilated kutcha house with poor sanitation facilities and nearly 94% were living in house with fuel other than LPG.Conclusions: Factors like previous history of similar illness, inappropriate immunization for age, anemia, PEM grade 3 and 4, poor housing condition, and indoor air pollution were significantly associated with severity of pneumonia. While severity of illness, PEM grade 3 and 4 and associated illness were the important risk factors for mortality.

Authors: Kadegaon Babalala , Sarvi Jyoti B.
Published: June 2019

Background: The aim of study was to identify the asymptomatic hyparnatremia in exclusively breastfed neonates and to study the factors associated with it.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2010 to October 2012 in Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, A. M. U., Aligarh. Consecutive term appropriate-for-gestational age and asymptomatic neonates who were exclusively breastfed since birth were enrolled.Results: A total of 1360 term neonates were screened, out of which 145 neonates in each early and late neonatal group were enrolled. Prevalence of hypernatremia in 290 patients was 4.48% (n=13) with mean serum sodium level of 156.6±5.5 mmol/L, ranging from 151 to 167 mmol/L. It was 16 times more common in early compare to late neonates (adjusted odds ratio=16.074, P=0.001), 6 times more common in primi mothers (adjusted odds ratio=6.037, P=0.010) and 7 times more common during summer season (May-August) (adjusted odds ratio=6.566, P=0.017). Other variables like sex, mode of delivery and blood urea levels do not show significant association with hypernatremia. There was a significant positive correlation of serum sodium level with blood urea (r=0.123, P=0.037) and serum creatinine levels (r=0.157, P=0.007), and a negative correlation with blood sugar levels, but it was not significant (r=-0.072, P=0.224).Conclusions: The prevalence of hypernatremia in exclusively breastfed term asymptomatic neonates is 4.8%, and is more common in early neonatal period, in summer season and in babies born to primi mothers. There was a significant positive correlation of serum sodium with blood urea and creatinine levels.

Authors: Sharma Ravi , Chaturvedi Anupam , Yadav Sandeep , Sareen Rateesh
Published: June 2019

Biotinidase deficiency (BD) is an inborn metabolic disorder caused by low enzyme activity giving rise to impaired biotin release from dietary proteins. The first symptoms may be seen at first week following birth until 1 year of age. The goal of the therapy is to increase biotin bioavailability by daily 5-20 mg lifelong biotin replacement. Three-month-old girl born to nonconsanguineous parents, admitted to pediatric intensive care with multiple seizures, breathing difficulty and posturing. Blood investigations showed thrombocytopenia and high anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA). Enzyme assay for biotinidase revealed low activities. Urinary organic acid analysis was normal. Enzyme activity is <10% in severe cases whereas between 10-30% in partial deficiency. BD can cause metabolic ketoacidosis, Hyperammonemia and organic Aciduria. BD behaves like immunodeficiency. Rarely bacterial infection can be seen. Treatment is lifelong biotin replacement.
DO MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES AFFECT THE COGNITIVE PROCESSING OF DEVERBAL NOMINALS IN SERBIAN?
Authors: Gatarić Isidora , Srdanović Sanja , Šarić Anja
Published: June 2019

The aim of this study was to examine whether different morphological characteristics of Serbian deverbal nominals affect their lexical processing. According to morphological differences, there are three subtypes of the process and result deverbal nominals in Serbian: (i) result nominals end with the zero suffix, while process nominals end with the deverbal suffix –nje (e.g., žubor/žuborenje [eng. burble]); (ii) result nominals differ from process nominals in the presence of the –va infix (e.g., rešenje/rešavanje [eng. solution]); (iii) process nominals end with the deverbal suffix –nje, while result nominals end with other derivational suffixes (e.g., rotiranje/rotacija [eng. rotation]). The final results of three self–paced reading experiments suggest that different morphological features do not affect the processing of deverbal nominals, which strongly supports a–morphous approach to the morpho– lexical processing, as well as the distributed morphology perspective in the field of theoretical linguistics.
RAZVOJ FONOLOŠKE SVESNOSTI KOD DECE UZRASTA OD ŠEST DO OSAM GODINA

Published: June 2019

Cilj istraživanja je utvrđivanje nivoa razvijenosti elemenata fonološke svesnosti i uzajamnog odnosa tih elemenata kod dece tipičnog razvoja. Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 60-oro dece, oba pola (51.6% dečaka i 48.4% devojčica), uzrasta od šest (33.3%), sedam (38.3%) i osam (28.3%) godina. Za procenu fonološke svesnosti primenjen je revidirani FONT test, koji obuhvata osam tipova zadataka. Rezultati pokazuju generalno visoko postignuće dece na svim tipovima zadataka za procenu fonološke svesnosti (u rasponu od 73.3% do 90.8% uspešnosti). Međutim, moguće je diferencirati relativno lakše zadatke (spajanje slogova, prepoznavanje rime, slogovna segmentacija i identifikovanje početnog fonema) od relativno težih zadataka (identifikovanje završnog fonema, fonemska segmentacija, fonemska supstitucija početnog fonema i eliminacija početnog fonema). Teži tipovi zadataka su pokazali i međusobno snažniji intenzitet korelacije, dok su lakši tipovi zadataka slabije povezani sa ostalim zadacima u okviru testa (zbog suženog opsega raspona vrednosti, odnosno vrlo visokih prosečnih postignuća dece). Uzrasne razlike među decom su utvrđene samo na težim tipovima zadataka, dok su na lakšim zadacima već i šestogodišnjaci ostvarili postignuće kao i deca uzrasta sedam i osam godina. Rezultati su pokazali da se fonološke sposobnosti razvijaju i stiču do uzrasta od sedam godina. Pol, kao i interakcija pola i uzrasta, nisu predstavljali značajan izvor razlika u postignuću dece na zadacima fonološke svesnosti. Dobijeni nalazi sugerišu da je prilikom ispitivanja fonološke svesnosti kod dece tipičnog razvoja, već na uzrastu od šest godina dovoljno meriti samo postignuće na četiri tipa zadataka, koji su u istraživanju identifikovani kao teži
Influência da contaminação de solo por creosoto na ocorrência de Oligochaeta em fragmentos da Mata Atlântica
Authors: Chagas Paula Isabelle Gomes , Ferreira Júnior Antônio Carlos Felix
Published: June 2019

Por sua abundante ocorrência e sua sensibilidade a contaminações e variações da presença de nutrientes, as minhocas são importantes bioindicadores da qualidade do solo. A partir dessa constatação ecológica e dos registros de contaminação de creosoto, composto formado principalmente por hidrocarbonetos aromáticos, no fragmento de Mata Atlântica da Reserva Biológica União, este trabalho buscou avaliar se a presença desse contaminante interfere na ocorrência de Oligochaeta no solo por meio da comparação entre uma área contaminada e outra que não apresenta sinais de contaminação. Ao final dos experimentos percebeu-se significativa diferença na quantidade desses organismos entre as áreas estudadas, com 2,6 vezes mais minhocas na área não contaminada em relação à contaminada, embora a biomassa total tenha sido consideravelmente maior na área com o creosoto, implicando a necessidade de realização de mais estudos.

Este estudo se baseia na hipótese de existir alguma relação entre o fenômeno climático oceânico-atmosférico El Niño Oscilação Sul (ENOS) e o comportamento do clima no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, situado ao norte do estado do Rio de Janeiro, na Região Sudeste do Brasil, no que se refere aos valores de precipitação acumulada mensal. Para isso, foram analisadas seis estações distribuídas no município de Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ, sendo uma estação climatológica e cinco estações pluviométricas. Foi também utilizado o banco de dados fornecidos pela NOAA, no qual é possível observar valores de TSM na porção sul-oriental do Oceano Pacífico, de modo a identificar os períodos de ocorrência do fenômeno oceânico-atmosférico ENOS e relacioná-los com os dados climatológicos de precipitação acumulada mensal no município de Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ cedidos por duas plataformas on-line: Banco de Dados Meteorológicos para Ensino e Pesquisa (BDMEP), desenvolvida pelo Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET); e HidroWEB, desenvolvida pela Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA). Por fim, foi elaborada uma planilha com o intuito de relacionar os períodos de eventos ENOS mais intensos com uma distribuição dos valores de precipitação acumulada mensal nas seis estações climatológicas mencionadas anteriormente, tendo como recorte temporal o período entre os anos de 1961 e 2016. Após uma análise desses dados utilizando métodos estatísticos, percebeu-se que, a princípio, não foi possível obter clara evidência de relação entre a ocorrência de fenômeno ENOS e o comportamento dos valores de precipitação acumulada mensal em Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ nesse recorte temporal, ainda que o resultado da linha de tendência do diagrama de dispersão apontasse para que maiores valores de precipitação acumulada mensal ocorressem durante episódios de La Niña. Entretanto, estudos devem continuar sendo realizados para uma melhor compreensão acerca do ENOS e de seus possíveis efeitos na Região Sudeste brasileira, visto que essa relação ainda não está muito clara para a comunidade científica.
On the Properties of Leveraged ETFs
Authors: KOUT Wided
Published: June 2019

In this paper, we examine if, for a successful long-term investment of leveraged ETFs, it is necessary to adjust the level of leverage according to the fluctuations of the financial markets. For this purpose, we illustrate in particular the behavior of the Leverages ETF based on the optimal leverage introduced by Giese (2009). This latter one, which is based on the growth rate expectation, behaves as a function of the prevailing market environment. More precisely, it implies that the investor should use high leverage in low volatility markets and low leverage in high volatility markets. We study also how the degree of leverage depends on the main factor of market environment, namely the volatility of the market in force.

Published: June 2019

The health benefits of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) are related with its chemical composition and the presence of bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was evaluate antioxidant compounds (pigments, CoQ10 and phenolic compounds) and antioxidant properties of EVOO from the same region comparing different cultivars (Hojiblanca and Arbequina), harvest year and crop stage. Antioxidant properties of oils were studied before and after a gastrointestinal digestion process, by in vitro assays (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP) and antioxidant markers in Caco-2 cells (reactive oxygen species production). The content of bioactive compounds measured was significantly affected by cultivar and harvest year (except for carotenoids) and by the crop stage (except for coenzyme Q10). Higher amount of coenzyme Q10 was observed in Hojiblanca than in Arbequina EVOO. Total phenol content and antioxidant properties were also different depending on cultivar and harvest year and the in vitro digestion process strongly improved antioxidant marker values. Antioxidant potential in bioaccessible fractions was mainly related with content of coenzyme Q10 and phenolic compounds in EVOO. Chemometric analysis showed that the oils were clearly classified by cultivars, harvest and crop stage, according with chemical composition and antioxidant activity analyzed in the present study

Healthy life style is associated with decreased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality in the general population. However, there is no definitive evidence on the benefits of physical activity and other health-related behaviors in the early-stage CKD. This study aimed to explore the association between health-related behaviors and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality in the early stages of CKD. The National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database from January 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2016 was used to screen 83,470 subjects with early stage CKD. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between health-related behaviors and ESRD and death. Kaplan-Meier curves for mortality and ESRD were plotted according to the physical activity, smoking status and alcohol consumption pattern. Risk of death decreased significantly in subjects who engaged in sufficient physical activity (adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.73; 95% CI: 0.64-0.83; p < 0.001). Risk of ESRD and death increased significantly in the current smoker with adjusted HR of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.06-1.95; p < 0.02) and 1.61 (95% CI: 1.44-1.80; p < 0.001) respectively. Therefore, systematic interventions to encourage physical activity and smoking cessation need to be actively considered in the early stages of CKD.

Published: June 2019

The soybean aphid (SBA; Aphis glycines Matsumura) and the soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines Ichninohe) are major pests of the soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Independent studies on these pests have made substantial progress in understanding the genetic basis of limiting these pests in both model and non-model plant systems. Classical linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified some major and minor QTLs in soybean. The studies on interactions of aphid and nematode effectors with host proteins allow us to identify molecular cues in various signaling components, including plant disease resistance and phytohormone genes. Here we review various resistance components of both SBA and SCN in terms of their effectors, their role in eliciting or attenuating host defense and update on findings on key quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes in soybean that could help in mitigating these widespread shifted virulent soybean aphid and SCN populations. We also provide an update on recent interaction studies of soybean-soybean aphid-SCN as well as interaction studies involving different aphids/nematodes and their host systems. PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT4 (PAD4) in soybean could possibly play a major role in providing resistance against both soybean aphid and SCN.
DEADLINE SETTLEMENT OF PETITION FOR DECLARATION OF BANKRUPTCY BEFORE THE COMMERCIAL COURT AND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES ACCORDING TO LAW NUMBER 37 OF 2004 ON BANKRUPTCY AND SUSPENSION OF DEBT PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
Authors: Wijayanta Tata
Published: June 2019

This study aimed to identify and analyze (1) the regulation regarding the deadline for applications of bankruptcy, (2) the practice of the deadline regulation, and (3) the legal consequences when they do not heed the deadline. This research is a normative legal research supported by interviews with informants. The data were collected through documentation method with document study tool, while the data from the informants were collected through interviews by using interview manual tool. The secondary data were analyzed by content analysis with statute approach, while the analysis of the interview data was conducted through a qualitative analysis. The results and discussion show that the Bankruptcy and PKPU Act applies because the previous bankruptcy regulation was not effective because it did not regulate the deadline for settling bankruptcy, so that it’s  a long period of time. The regulation of deadline for bankruptcy settlement in 2015 was largely complied with the provisions of law. 87% of the verdicts (14 out of 16 verdicts) were made within less than 60 days, while 13% (2 verdicts) were made beyond the time period specified by law. The Bankruptcy and PKPU Act does not regulate any legal sanctions/effects in relation to the deadline for judges who handle bankruptcy petitions, however, the common sanctioning relates to the assessment of the judges’ performance.

Published: June 2019

The purpose of this study is to examine further regarding the legal accountability of the public accountants on financial statements in the Indonesian legal system. This research is important to conduct due to the public accounting profession that has a significant role to express opinions about fairness in all material matters, financial position, results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows in accordance with general accounting principles accepted in Indonesia. In other words, the responsibility of public accountants is to express opinions on financial statements. Public accountants are responsible for planning and carrying out audits in order to obtain adequate assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by errors or fraud. Financial statements are the responsibility of management, and the public accounting profession cannot just be punished. This research is a normative legal research. The data used is secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. The data collection techniques use literature study, while data validation techniques use source criticism. The data is analyzed by using legal interpretation methods to obtain answers to the questions examined. The results show that a public accountant can have criminal and civil liability in carrying out the duties when publishing a company's financial statements.

Published: June 2019

The main components of an advanced measurement system based on synchrophasor technology for the monitoring of power systems are the phasor measurement unit (PMU), which represents the ‘sensor’, and the phasor data concentrator (PDC), which collects the data forwarded by PMUs installed on the field. For the purpose of extending the benefit of synchrophasor technology from transmission grids to distribution networks, different projects are seeking to use low-cost platforms to design devices with PMU functionalities. In this perspective, in order to achieve a complete synchrophasor-based measurement architecture based on low-cost technologies, this work presents a PDC design based on a low-cost platform. Despite the simplicity of the considered hardware, advanced PDC functionalities and innovative control logics are implemented in the prototype. The proposed device is characterised by several experimental tests aimed at assessing its performance in terms of both time synchronisation and capability of managing several PMU data streams. The feasibility of some additional functionalities and control logics is evaluated in the context of different possible scenarios.
