Authors: Bruzamolin Carolina Dea , Cardoso Eduarda Ravanello , Francisco Stéffany Dos Anjos , Botelho-Filho Carlos Roberto , Gabardo Marilisa Carneiro Leão
Published: November 2020

O uso de metodologias ativas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem vem sendo amplamente difundido em muitas instituições de ensino e a Odontologia não foge desse contexto. Além de trazer aos estudantes uma visão mais global, oferece mais autonomia individual e consciência coletiva, uma vez que o trabalho mais ativo, com problematizações, é benéfico para o desenvolvimento dos mesmos. Frente a isso, aqui é relatada a experiência da produção de um vídeo em 360º, de uma situação rotineira em Odontologia: o preparo do paciente e a lavagem das mãos em centro cirúrgico. O material elaborado se propõe a servir como ferramenta para que o estudante possa assisti-lo previamente às práticas subsequentes, pois assim terá a possibilidade de estar mais adaptado, o que parece favorecer a execução de algumas atividades odontológicas. A ferramenta aqui apresentada é um recurso novo que pode ser combinado com métodos tradicionais de ensino e seu impacto deve ser avaliado.

Authors: Finkler Mirelle , Maluf Fabiano , Pires Rodrigo Otávio Moretti
Published: November 2020

A importância da Bioética para o aperfeiçoamento ético-humanístico dos cirurgiões-dentistas é amplamente reconhecida. No entanto, para esta disciplina de reflexão teórico-filosófica interdisciplinar, a formação docente limitada à Odontologia implica problemas significativos. Diante deste contexto, criou-se um grupo de professores de Bioética em Odontologia no âmbito da Associação Brasileira de Ensino Odontológico, em 2017. Dois anos após, o grupo se reuniu pela terceira vez para compartilhar referenciais e experiências de docência. O objetivo deste artigo é ampliar o alcance daquele debate aos professores que não puderam estar presentes. Inicialmente apresenta-se o Core Curriculum que está baseado nos princípios da Declaração Universal sobre Bioética e Direitos Humanos. Trata-se de uma proposta pedagógica da United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) para o ensino de Bioética, que pode ser adotado nos cursos de graduação em Odontologia de forma integral ou complementar. Na sequência, apresenta-se a experiência do ensino de Bioética que vem sendo desenvolvida na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, a partir de comparação dos elementos que estruturam os planos de ensino das disciplinas de graduação e pós-graduação. Em comum as propostas defendem: o ensino em disciplina própria; a imprescindibilidade da formação docente em Bioética; a consideração da sua natureza interdisciplinar; a ampliação do referencial teórico para muito além do Principialismo, buscando-se referenciais adequados e temáticas relevantes a cada contexto social e a cada nível educativo; a centralidade do processo ensino-aprendizado no estudante, fomentando sua competência humanística crítico-reflexiva; e o compromisso com a formação ética dos estudantes por parte de todo o corpo docente.

Published: November 2020

Introduction. The relevance of the study of procrastination as an integral personal construct is substantiated in the article. The author focuses on the specific manifestation of the emotional aspect of this phenomenon. The purpose of the work is to determine the features of the affective sphere of the individual prone to procrastination. The following methods were used in the work: the technique of procrastination diagnostics proposed by O. Zhuravlova and O. Zhuravlov; P Steel “Pure Procrastination Scale” test; F. Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory questionnaire. (FPI). Results of the research. The close relationship between the emotional sphere and the level of formation of the procrastination of the testimonials is evidenced by the considerable number of revealed correlations between the constructs. The most significant correlation of indicators of the integral level of procrastination is recorded with the value on “the Depression scale”. That is, the frequency of respondents' dilatory behavior increases in proportion to the decline in their mood. With the increase in the general level of procrastination formation in the subjects at the same time more pronounced tendency to manifest irritability. A direct correlation between the general indicators of the integral level of procrastination is also observed with the values on “Reactive aggressiveness scale” and “Situational aggressiveness scale”. It was confirmed during the analysis was the hypothesis of a simultaneous increase in personality propensity to delay important tasks and neuroticism. The increase in the level of procrastination of the subjects is accompanied by an increase in indicators on “Shyness scale”, which reflects the tendency to stress response to habitual life situations. It is revealed that the more pronounced is the tendency of a person to procrastinate, the less stable is his emotional state, as evidenced by the direct correlation of procrastination with emotional lability. Despite the significant number of correlations of procrastination with indicators of the emotional state of the respondents, as a result of the regression analysis, the predictor of this construct is only depression. Conclusions. In the empirical study, it was found that maladaptation is characterized by both the general emotional background of persons prone to procrastination and their specific emotional patterns.
Intrapersonal conflict as a students' leadership qualities development factor
Authors:   Ukrainian Engineering Pedagogics Academy, Lykova Maryаna
Published: November 2020

Introduction. Based on empirical research, the author makes a qualitative analysis of the relationship between students' leadership qualities and interpersonal conflicts as well as discusses the features of student intrapersonal conflicts and their relationship with students' leadership potential. Aim. To explore the relationship between the humanities and engineering students' leadership qualities and intrapersonal conflicts. Methods. The study of the impact of intrapersonal conflicts on the development of humanities and engineering students' leadership qualities was conducted using the Lauterbach Intrapersonal Conflicts questionnaire. Results. According to the structure of leadership qualities proposed by the author, intrapersonal conflicts are a personal leadership potential development factor, which is a personal psychological characteristic. The author discusses in detail four types of intrapersonal conflicts (the conflicts between the needs for dominance and subordination, the conflicts between the need for achievement and the fear of failure, the aspirations-and-achievements conflicts, and the trust-and-self-sufficiency conflicts), which affect the development of the humanities and engineering students’ leadership potential. Conclusions. Intrapersonal conflicts indicate the presence of contradictions between the individuals' leadership qualities such as purposefulness, motivation, integrity, confidence, developed personality, and adequate self-esteem. Intrapersonal conflicts can both promote individuals' leadership skills and decrease them. Therefore, further research into personal leadership skills development is necessary to create developmental and training methods to control intrapersonal conflicts, which could help students in their future careers.
The Code-Centric Nature of Computational Thinking Education: A Review of Trends and Issues in Computational Thinking Education Research
Authors: Kite Vance , Park Soonhye , Wiebe Eric
Published: November 2020

Computational thinking (CT) is being recognized as a critical component of student success in the digital era. Many contend that integrating CT into core curricula is the surest method for providing all students with access to CT. However, the CT community lacks an agreed-upon conceptualization of CT that would facilitate this integration, and little effort has been made to critically analyze and synthesize research on CT/content integration (CTCI). Conflicting CT conceptualizations and little understanding of evidence-based strategies for CTCI could result in significant barriers to increasing students’ access to CT. To address these concerns, we analyzed 80 studies on CT education, focusing on both the CT conceptualizations guiding current CT education research and evidence-based strategies for CTCI. Our review highlights the code-centric nature of CT education and reveals significant gaps in our understanding of CTCI and CT professional development for teachers. Based on these findings we propose an approach to operationalizing CT that promotes students’ participation in CT, present promising methods for infusing content with CT, and discuss future directions for CT education research.
From home to the film location site, from a film audience to a film tourist
Authors: Cui Xin
Published: November 2020

A range of scholars in media studies suggest that film can enhance the awareness and appeal of the film locations because of its power of imagery (Macionis 2004; Beeton 2016; Riley and Van Doran 1992). Induced and motivated by film-related elements, a group of audiences are no longer merely the recipients of film contents but also the tourists, who are going to visit the film-related sites. The journey that audiences visit the film-related sites in person can be described as film-related tourism.

In this paper, the basic characteristics of film-related tourism will be introduced at the beginning for demonstrating audiences’ film journey to different types of film-related tourism sites, i.e., on-location film site and off-location film site (Beeton 2005). Then, it will specifically use an off-location film tourism site Hengdian World Studios (HWS) in China as the case to see audiences’ travel experience as film tourists at the destination. For detailed describing the touristic experience, this paper is going to apply the ethnography research method to show my personal film tour from home to the film sites in HWS, and thus examine the process of people’ identity change from film audiences to film tourists in the physical movement from home to the film location sites. Finally, authenticity issues, staged authenticity and existential authenticity, in audiences’ film tour will be discussed in order to better understand audiences’ on-site activities as well as the marketing strategies at the destination.

Bevacizumab treatment of patients with breast cancer is associated with induction of SOX17.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Bevacizumab (Avastin) is an approved treatment option by the European Medicines Agency (1) for more than a quarter billion women in the European Union, and despite having its indication withdrawn by the Food and Drug Administration in 2011 is still utilized in clinical trials in the United States (2, 3). We mined published microarray data (4) from the PROMIX trial to understand in an unbiased fashion genes most transcriptionally perturbed by bevacizumab administration and how this interacted with a standard anthracycline and taxane chemotherapeutic regimen, epirubicin and docetaxel. We report here the striking induction of the SRY-box morphogen transcription factor SOX17 (5-7) in the primary tumors of women with breast cancer treated with bevacizumab.
Trastuzumab treatment in patients with breast cancer is associated with differential expression of the Wilms’ tumor susceptibility gene, WT1.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

The mechanism of action underlying trastuzumab (Herceptin) function is ascribed to binding of the Fab region of trastuzumab to the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) (1). The transcriptional responses that follow signals transduced through trastuzumab binding to HER2 are less well understood. We mined published microarray and multiplexed gene expression data (2, 3) to understand in an unbiased fashion genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. We observed significantly increased and differential expression of the Wilms’ tumor susceptibility gene, WT1 in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.

There have been a lot of instances in the past which question the authenticity of a piece of information ashed over the social media and other news sharing organizations, spread all over the domains of the internet. In this global crisis of coronavirus pandemic, information is the most important thing which is desired by the people. Information regarding the virus and the ways to remain protected from it. The news has been displayed but due to the immense amount of time spent on the social media platform it becomes a chaos of information and our mind tends to divert to the fake sources. This might create havoc. Using this project, a module has been devised out that would eventually bring the genuine news to your doorsteps. Using Augmented Reality, the interface has been created that would bring entertainment in the visualization of the data factors. The app has been integrated with the major data channels over the internet which are the major sources of information during this time of crisis.
Impact of increasing the availability of healthier vs. less-healthy food on food selection: A randomised laboratory experiment
Authors: Pechey Rachel , Sexton Olivia , Codling Saphsa , Marteau Theresa
Published: November 2020

Background. Environmental cues shape behaviour, but few studies compare the impact of targeting healthier vs. less-healthy cues. One online study suggested greater impact on selection from increasing the number of less-healthy (vs. healthier) snacks. The current study aimed to: (1) extend the previous study by using physically-present snacks for immediate consumption; (2) explore responsiveness by socio-economic position; (3) investigate possible mediators (response inhibition, food appeal) of any socio-economic differences in selection. Methods. In a between-subjects laboratory experiment UK adults (n=417) were randomised according to their ID number (without blinding) to one of three ranges of options: Two healthier, two less-healthy [“Equal”] (n=136); Six healthier, two less-healthy [“Increased Healthier”] (n=143); Two healthier, six less-healthy [“Increased Less-Healthy”] (n=138). Participants completed measures of response inhibition and food appeal, and selected a snack for immediate consumption from their allocated range. The primary outcome was selection of a healthier (over less-healthy) snack.Results. The odds of selecting a less-healthy snack were 2.9 times higher (95%CIs:1.7,5.1) in the Increased Less-Healthy condition compared to the Equal condition. The odds of selecting a healthier snack were 2.5 times higher (95%CIs:1.5,4.1) in the Increased Healthier (vs. Equal) condition. There was no significant difference in the size of these effects (-0.2; 95%CIs:-1.1,0.7). Findings were inconclusive with regard to interactions by education, but the direction of effects was consistent with potentially larger impact of the Increased Healthier condition on selection for less-educated participants, and potentially larger impact of the Increased Less-Healthy condition for higher-educated participants. Conclusions. A greater impact from increasing the number of less-healthy (over healthier) foods was not replicated when selecting snacks for immediate consumption: both increased selections of the targeted foods with no evidence of a difference in effectiveness. The observed pattern of results suggested possible differential impact by education, albeit not statistically significant. If replicated in larger studies, this could suggest that removing less-healthy options has the potential to reduce health inequalities due to unhealthier diets. Conversely, adding healthier options could have the potential to increase these inequalities.

Authors: Tamrakar Sujan , Bal Bal Krishna , Thapa Rajendra Bahadur
Published: November 2020

Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis assists in understanding the opinion of the associated entities helping for a better quality of a service or a product. A model is developed to detect the aspect-based sentiment in Nepali text using Machine Learning (ML) classifier algorithms namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naïve Bayes (NB). The system collects Nepali text data from various websites and Part of Speech (POS) tagging is applied to extract the desired features of aspect and sentiment. Manual labeling is done for each sentence to identify the sentiment of the sentence. Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) is applied to compute the importance of the words. The feature vectors thus produced are then applied to the Classifier algorithms to predict and classify the sentence. The accuracy obtained by the SVM classifier is 76.8% whereas Bernoulli NB is 77.5%.

Authors: Giri Om Prakash
Published: November 2020

The Construction industry is prone to risk to health and safety hazards. Construction workers should have the knowledge of health and safety and apply the knowledge while working. The main objective of this paper was to review and to identify the factors that cause accidents at construction sites and the methods to improve health and safety. The review revealed that lack of awareness about site safety and negligence of workers in wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were the main causes of poor safety practices. It is necessary to create employer’s and contractor’s interests in safety management and enhance awareness on possible risk factors to reduce these risk factors among workers. Effective implementation of training and safety awareness programs among construction workers is vital to improve health and safety of construction workers.

Published: November 2020

A hydrological model helps in understanding, predicting, and managing water resources. The HEC-HMS (Centre for Hydrological Engineering - Hydrological Modelling Systems, US Army Corps of Engineers) is one of the hydrological models used to simulate rainfall-runoff and routing processes in diverse geographical areas. In this study, a semi-distributed hydrological model was developed using HEC-HMS for the West-Rapti river basin. The model was calibrated and validated at each outlet of sub-basins and used to simulate the outflow of each sub-basins of the West Rapti river basin. A total of eight rain gauge stations, five meteorological stations, and three hydrological stations, within the basin, were used. The simulated results closely matched the observed flows at the three gauging stations. The Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency indicated the good model performance of the simulated streamflow with the observed flow at two stations and satisfactory model fit at one station. The performance based on percentage bias and root mean square error was good. This model provides a reference to study water balance, water resource management, and flooding control of the West Rapti basin and can be replicated in other basins.
Seismic Capacity Assessment of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Building Performed According To Eurocode
Authors: Gautam Raul , Paudel Kshitiz
Published: November 2020

Brick Masonry Building with cement sand mortar is a common type of building typology in Nepal. Regardless of being one of the eldest construction technology, the behavior of masonry building is still a matter of study. The uncertainty in the behavior of masonry structures is due to material heterogeneity, complex behavior under different loading conditions and may be due to less research in this arena. Different modeling strategies are used and proposed worldwide to design and to identify the seismic performance of Masonry Building. The analysis strategy ranges from the simple linear method, equivalent frame method, static nonlinear method to dynamic nonlinear, which may be chosen according to engineering design aims and research purpose. In this attempt, authors choose two degrees of freedom 3D model of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Structures which catches both overturning and hysteresis mechanisms due to the shear response implemented by the TREMURI program with static nonlinear procedures. This verified method of modeling and analysis is applied to assess the performance of three different Unreinforced Brick Masonry buildings of the same plans with different numbers of storey.

Published: November 2020

This paper presents a picture of the streamflow variation in major hydrologic stations across Nepal during 1986-2015 in two periods; before and after 2000. Our study selected 27 high-quality hydrologic monitoring stations maintained by the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM), Government of Nepal distributed across the country, representing a wide range of basin size, from ~308 to ~54100 km2. We compare the flow duration curves (FDCs) for two periods, T1: 1986-1999 and T2: 2000-2015. The study quantifies the changes of different streamflow indices including minimum, maximum, average daily streamflow, different percentiles and top 10, 20 and 50 maximum daily streamflow. Many studies reported that the climate (such as temperature and precipitation) showed an abrupt variation during the late 90s in the central Himalayas. This study explores whether similar effects are observed in the streamflow of the Himalayan catchments. The results of the study show a mixed pattern of positive and negative changes for different streamflow indices. However, about 60% of analyzed station (i.e. 17 out of 27) showed the positive deviation of the maximum daily streamflow meaning more extremes were observed in the latter period compared to the former period. Seven stations revealed > +20% shift in the maximum daily streamflow from period T1 to T2. In particular, East Rapti at Rajaiya showed more than 80% increase with respect to T1 which deviated from an average of 304 (ranging from 123 to 682) m3/s to an average of 555 (ranging from 171 to 1260) m3/s. Overall, about 10% of increment could be found on time-sliced averaged maximum daily discharge between two periods. Most importantly, the inter- and intra- annual variation of extreme streamflow show a clear tendency of the elevated peak streamflow recurrently over time.

Published: November 2020

A educação sexual é fundamental para a formação pessoal e social do ser humano, sendo imprescindível a abordagem no contexto escolar, de modo a sanar deficiência de informações provenientes da educação familiar. Contudo, muitas vezes os docentes não possuem saberes necessário para tal ensino, tornando-se essencial e preciso a parceria entre profissionais da educação e da saúde para proporcionar conhecimento mais interativo e dinâmico aos discentes. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho incide em relatar sobre uma palestra realizada com alunos do Ensino Fundamental quanto a temática sexualidade. Para a efetuação desta pesquisa qualitativa ocorreu conversas informais com membros da saúde para realização da palestra, com alunos do 8º e 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, e obtenção de materiais palpáveis dos métodos contraceptivos.  Observou-se que os envolvidos possuem conhecimentos mínimos relacionados às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis e aos métodos contraceptivos; e a presença de materiais concretos contribuiu para internalização de aprendizado a respeito dos distintos métodos contraceptivos. Diante do exposto, constata-se a relevância de parcerias para consolidar saberes interdisciplinares e, assim, efetivar a aquisição de conhecimento aos alunos.

Published: November 2020

Uretero-duodenal fistula is an uncommon complication in urology. The cause of fistula have been reported as ureteral calculi, iatrogenic injury, trauma and malignancy. The gold standard treatment of uretero-duodenal fistula remains controversial. The most common management is nephrectomy and primary closure of fistula. We report a case of 67 yearold man with uretero-duodenal fistula after laparoscopic correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. In the era of minimal invasive management, we decided to use endoscopic and conservative treatment. The definitive treatment will be reconsidered if conservative treatment fails. We will discuss the steps of management and follow-up for this patient.

Authors: Kharchenko E. P.
Published: November 2020

Relevance. The vaccine against the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus is considered as the most promising approach to curb (tame) a current pandemic and prevent new one. Three vaccines (AstraZeneca’s СhAdOx1 nCov-19, CanSino’s vaccine and Russia’s Sputnik V one) are in Phase III clinical trials and have the S protein as immunogen but different adenovirus vectors. It is known adverse neurological events associated with the СhAdOx1 nCov-19 vacсine.

Aimis to investigate the distribution of homologous sequences of adenovirus proteins in human nervous and immune systems proteins, estimate potential risks of using adenovirus vectors in vaccines and discuss possible mechanisms inducing immune damage in the nervous system.

Materials and methods. For the computer analysis of peptide (immune epitope) relationship between adenovirus structural proteins and human proteins, the search of homologous sequences was made. All protein sequences were used from databases available on the INTERNET.

Results. Among adenoviruses (НАд5, НАд26 , ChАдY25, and SAd3) ChАдY25 has the highest content of sequences homologous to human nervous system proteins that may be the cause of autoimmune complications in vaccination.

Conclusion: In AstraZeneca’s СhAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine there are a large number of peptide sequences homologous to human nervous system proteins and it allows to predict the possible risks with this vaccine.

Authors: Kosyakova K. G. , Esaulenko N. B. , Kameneva O. A. , Kazakov S. P. , Dubinina A. Y. , Mezina E. Y. , Zaitsev A. A.
Published: November 2020

Relevance The World Health Organization has provided a list of resistant bacteria that pose the greatest threat to society. Among them, the most important (critically high priority level) are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii strains resistant to carbapenems, as well as enterobacteriaceae producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemases.

Aim. To conduct a comparative analysis of the sensitivity to chlorhexidine of multiply-resistant gram-negative bacteria, the causative agents of infectious conditions in patients of various medical organizations, and to study the relationship between the presence of resistance genes and the minimum inhibitory concentration of chlorhexidine.

Materials & methods. The study included 138 Gram-negative multidrug-resistant strains isolated during 2018–2019 from various clinical specimens. Susceptibility of the isolates to antibiotics were determined using Vitek-2 compact and Phoenix М50, susceptibility to chlorhexidine were determined by agar dilution method. The resistance genes were detected by the real-time PCR method.

Results. The lowest level of resistance to chlorhexidine was determined in E. coli strains (MIC90 16 mg/l), other strains were highly resistant: MIC90 of P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii – 128 mg/l, K. pneumoniae, E. cloacae и P. mirabilis – 256 mg/l. The highest frequency of detection of carbapenemase genes observed in K. pneumoniae strains – 56.0% and P. aeruginosa – 48.1%. High prevalence of cepA gene was found out (the strains of enterobacteria – 47.8%, A. baumannii – 42.9%), genes qacE, qacEΔ1 were more often detected in non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria then in enterobacteria. Conclusion. According to the results of our study, we did not reveal a significant correlation between the presence or absence of resistance genes and MIC of chlorhexidine in Gram-negative bacteria. However, taking into account complex mechanism of the adaptive response of bacteria to the effects of chlorhexidine, and to implement the concept of preventing health care-associated infections, it is proposed to continue dynamic monitoring of the resistance of microorganisms to antiseptics, disinfectants and antibiotics.

Published: November 2020

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro and in situ antagonistic effects of Lactobacillus probiotic strains on clinical strains of Helicobacter pylori . Also to investigate their immunomodulation effects on a macrophage cell model. Materials and Methods: Anti-microbial effects of probiotic lactobacilli against H. pylori was assessed using the well and disk diffusion methods. Effects of lactobacilli probiotics strains, as well as their cell-free supernatant on adhesion of H. pylori to MKN-45 gastric epithelial cells, were examined in their presence and absence. Immunomodulation effects of probiotic lactobacilli were performed using the U937 macrophage cell model. Incubation of host cells with probiotics and their cell-free supernatants with cultured host cells was performed in different optimized conditions. The supernatant of host cells cultured in their presence and absence was used for cytokines measurement. Results: Two probiotics‏, Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC4356, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus PTCC1607, could inhibit the growth of clinical H. pylori in vitro. They could also inhibit attachment of H. pylori to MKN-45 cells. Cell-free supernatant of L. acidophilus had a stimulating effect on the production of Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) by U937 cells. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that, L. acidophilus ATCC4356 and L. rhamnosus PTCC1607 probiotic strains can inhibit the growth of clinical H. pylori in vitro. Treatment of U937 with alive H. pylori plus cell-free supernatant of L. acidophilus, have a significantly higher capacity to stimulate IFN-γ production than H. pylori alone. So, the metabolite (s) of this probiotic may have an immunomodulatory effect in immune response versus H. pylori. [GMJ.2020;9:e1794]
Gender Tutelage and Bulgarian Women’s Literature (1878–1944)
Authors: Mitkova Valentina
Published: November 2020

Abstract

This article focuses on Bulgarian women writers’ activities, their reception, and their problematic existence in the context of the modernizing and emancipatory trends in Bulgarian society after the Liberation (1878–1944). The analysis is based on the concept of the (intellectual) hierarchy of genders and mechanisms of gender tutelage, traced in the specifics of women’s literary texts, their critical and public resonance, and the authors’ complicated relation with the Bulgarian literary canon. The question is topical, given the noticeable absence of women writers in the corpus of Bulgarian authors/ literary texts, thought and among those considered representative in terms of national identity and culture. The study is based on primary source materials such as works by Bulgarian women writers, the periodical press from the period, various archival materials, and scholarly publications relevant to the topic.

Public Perception on Reputation and Its Influence on Decision Making
Authors: Bozdo Rejla
Published: November 2020

Reputation is an important part of everyday life of people, businesses, and other organizations. Reputation is like a bunch of thoughts in ones’ mind that drives people’s decision-making as an auto-pilot. There are many methods applied to define reputation level for companies all over the world, such as ”World Most Admired Companies” of Fortune magazine, Financial Times “World’s the Most Respected Companies”, “Britain’s Most Admired Companies” from Management Today, or ”Asia’s Most Admired Companies” from Asian Business.  

This paper aims to discuss on the measurement of reputation which could stem by the public opinion. To do so, the analysis reports on a national survey which measures 5 variables of public opinion perception on Albanian companies. Each company provided by the respondents, is calculated a value which leads to define the reputation level of the total market. The whole list gives space to do sectorial analysis, too.  

This paper will particularly discuss the sector of shopping centres. Drawing on calculated values for each of shopping centres,  perceptual maps are designed that can be of great help for investors to decide about the most appropriate  shopping centre they should invest their new retail project. Furthermore, these perceptual maps can also be designed by combining variables that are related with employment and success that will help job-seekers to compare different options in the job market.
Evaluación de la estabilidad microbiológica del pan de molde integral mediante el uso de natamicina
Authors: Meza Velázquez Claudia Damaris , Ríos Duarte Liz
Published: November 2020

En los últimos años existe un interés creciente por ingerir alimentos naturales, es decir, que sean mínimamente procesados. La bioconservación satisface estos requisitos, ya que aprovecha la capacidad de microorganismos reconocidos como seguros (GRAS) y/o de sus metabolitos para inhibir el desarrollo de microorganismos alterantes o patógenos en alimentos. En el sector panadero el principal inconveniente es la conservación del pan luego del horneado, ya que por la composición y la temperatura de almacenamiento son muy propensos al ataque por hongos. La finalidad de la presente investigación fue evaluar la estabilidad microbiológica del pan de molde integral aplicando por aspersión, soluciones de natamicina con diferentes concentraciones de alcohol en la superficie del panificado a 65°C y 30°C. El estudio implicó análisis microbiológicos de mohos y levaduras, determinaciones de humedad y una evaluación sensorial mediante una prueba triangular, con 24 jueces semi entrenados. Se siguieron las metodologías descritas en los métodos de la AOAC e ISO. El análisis de humedad y el recuento de mohos y levaduras muestran que no existen diferencias significativas (P<0.05) entre los tratamientos. En cuanto al análisis sensorial se evidencia que no existen diferencias significativas en el sabor. Estos resultados demuestran que el pan de molde integral mantiene su estabilidad microbiológica durante los 18 días de estudio siendo el uso del bioconservante una respuesta para los consumidores que continuamente buscan productos más frescos y con menor cantidad de aditivos químicos.
Elefánt a porcelánboltban? Az Amerikai Egyesült Államok Latin-Amerika-politikája Donald Trump elnöksége alatt
Authors: Vogel Dávid
Published: November 2020

Latin-Amerika, bár évtizedekig kiemelt helyet foglalt el az Amerikai Egyesült Államok külpolitikájában, a hidegháborút követő időszak egyéb világpolitikai eseményei egyre hátrébb sorolták a régiót Washington prioritásai között. Mindez azonban a 2016-os választási kampányban megváltozni látszott, mikor Donald Trump több Latin-Amerikát érintő kérdést is kampánytémává tett. A tanulmány azt vizsgálja, hogy történtek-e valós változások az Egyesült Államok, valamint a latin-amerikai és Karibi-térség államai közti viszonyban, illetve hogy milyen hangsúlyok jelentek meg ebben a megközelítésben, valamint milyen eltérések figyelhetők meg az elnök és a kongresszus relációjában.
