Computational elucidation of the reaction mechanisms of elemental sulfur and polysulfides with cyanide and phosphines
Authors: Sharma Jyoti , Champagne Pier Alexandre
Published: November 2022

The reactions of elemental sulfur (S8) and polysulfides with nucleophiles are relevant to organic synthesis, materials science and biochemistry, but the mechanisms by which they operate are still unknown. Depending on the nature of the nucleophile, a broad variety of products can be obtained, but reaction pathways are difficult to probe experimentally due to the inherent thermodynamic and kinetic instability of polysulfide intermediates. Using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the ωB97X-D/aug-cc-pV(T+d)Z/SMD(MeCN) // ωB97X-D/ aug-cc-pVDZ/SMD(MeCN) level of theory, this study provides the first comprehensive picture of the mechanisms behind the reaction of elemental sulfur and polysulfides with cyanide and phosphines, which quantitatively generate the monosulfide products thiocyanate and phosphine sulfides, respectively. These reactions are prototypical of the reactions of sulfur with other strong nucleophiles including carbon-based systems, and are important for the titration and detection of elemental sulfur in complex media. We first demonstrate that from the two mechanisms proposed more than 60 years ago, the Foss-Bartlett hypothesis is the most likely nucleophilic decomposition pathway for polysulfide intermediates containing good leaving groups. Importantly, we find that unimolecular decomposition pathways, either cyclizative or not, have the lowest activation barriers for most polysulfide intermediates. This indicates that such intermediates are fleeting in solution as they rapidly decompose even without an external nucleophile. Other bimolecular decomposition pathways were also located, including scrambling reactions and attack on thiosulfoxides, which are less likely to intervene as they require larger concentrations of highly-reactive intermediates. Overall, our results indicate that for long polysulfides intramolecular cyclization is the most favorable decomposition pathway. For short polysulfides, a mixture of unimolecular decomposition and nucleophilic attack can be expected, in addition to scrambling pathways if the concentration of nucleophile is low. Overall, this work highlighted the various pathways available for polysulfide decomposition, allowing the study of polysulfide reactivity in more complex settings such as organic transformations or biochemical pathways.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases affecting carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. This pathology has a long history, and it was considered a disease of the kidneys until the middle of the 19th century. Descriptions have been found in Egyptian papyri, in ancient Indian and Chinese medical literature, in the writings of ancient Greek and Arab doctors. Aretaeus of Cappadocia gave the first accurate description of the disease, coining the term diabetes. Thomas Willis first differentiated diabetes from other causes of polyuria by the sweet taste of urine. Matthew Dobson proved the presence of glucose in urine by evaporation. Claude Bernard demonstrated that hyperglycemia contributes to glucosuria. This is how the concept of the renal threshold appeared. In domestic practice, the term "renal threshold" was introduced by endocrinologist V.G. Baranov. The development of qualitative tests for determining glucose in the urine, the creation of test strips and glucometers has significantly improved the quality of life of patients with diabetes. The current stage of development of glucometry includes the determination of fasting plasma glucose, postprandial glycemia, glycated hemoglobin, as well as continuous glucose monitoring. Continuous glucose monitoring systems make it possible to estimate the time in target range, show the rate of rise or fall of glucose levels. It affects the rate and degree of carbohydrate metabolism compensation and allows for maximum control of the disease.

Published: November 2022

Adherence has a direct impact on reducing the effectiveness of atrial fibrillation therapy and increasing the risk of thromboembolic events. Among the factors involved in the decrease of adherence, the social and psychological characteristics of patients remain insufficiently studied. At the same time, the available publications allow us to conclude that there are markers of the risk of reduced adherence in patients with atrial fibrillation, which include age, cognitive impairment, psychoemotional disorders (including depression and anxiety) and specific behavioral patterns.

Published: November 2022

Currently, there is a growing interest in one of the most common diseases in hepatology non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). There is evidence that approximately 75% of cases of NAFLD occur against the background of obesity, dyslipidemia or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). At the present stage, a persistent pathophysiological interaction between NAFLD and T2DM has been demonstrated. Insulin resistance is one of the main pathogenetic causes of the development of T2DM and NAFLD. At the same time, it is necessary to highlight the role of the intestinal microbiota and epigenome in the manifestation and progression of NAFLD. Therefore, treatment approaches should be comprehensive. Diet therapy should be aimed at calorie restriction. However, in real clinical practice, phisicians face a low commitment to appropriate and long-term dietary recommendations necessary for weight loss. At the same time, use of dietary fibers, which are part of the preparation Mucofalk, helps to slow down the passage of food through the digestive tract, increase the saturation period. Use of a low-calorie diet with a significant fat restriction may increase the risk of gallstones. Ursodeoxycholic acid preparations (Ursofalk) can be recommended for the prevention of cholelithiasis. Considering the role of intestinal microflora in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, it is necessary to correct dysbiotic changes as well as basic pharmacotherapy. Thus, a comprehensive approach to the management of patients with NAFLD and T2DM should be aimed not only at therapy, but also at the prevention of associated metabolic disorders.

Sryon the Y chromosome is the master switch of sex determination in mammals. It has been well established thatSryencodes a transcription factor that is transiently expressed in somatic cells of the male gonad, leading to the formation of testes. In the testis of adult mice,Sryis expressed as a circular RNA (circRNA) transcript. However, the physiological function ofSrycircRNA (circSRY) remains unknown since its discovery in 1993. Here we show that circSRY is mainly expressed in the spermatocytes, but not in mature sperm or somatic cells of the testis. Loss of circSRY led to germ cell apoptosis and the reduction of sperm count in the epididymis. The level of γH2AX was decreased, and failure of XY body formation was noted in circSRY KO germ cells. Further study demonstrated that circSRY directly bound to miR-138-5p in spermatocytes, and in vitro assay suggested that circSRY regulates H2AX mRNA through sponging miR-138-5p. Our study demonstrates that, besides determining sex,Sryalso plays an important role in spermatogenesis as a circRNA.
OLIGARCHY AS A FACTOR IN THE CONSOLIDATION OF AUTHORITARIANISM
Authors: Shapovalenko Maryna
Published: November 2022

The main factors of the growing popularity and influence of non-democratic regimes, first of all, consolidated authoritarianism, are considered. In the modern world, in conditions of geopolitical turbulence, geopolitical centers of power and actors in making global management decisions are changing, therefore there is a need to manage socio-political and economic processes for the stable development of society. The conditions of chaos only intensify attempts to find and create fuses for the uncontrollable development of the political regime. In such conditions, there is a certain social group that is interested in preserving and strengthening the authoritarian regime. It is the oligarchs who are interested in preserving the status quo. Most of the successful and developed ones went through the stage of oligarchy domination (for example, the USA, France, Germany).

The attention is focused on the tendencies of strengthening of authoritarian tendencies in the global dimension, which makes it possible to conclude that these processes are interrelated.

It is proved that against the background of the dominance of authoritarian tendencies in the world, the positions of oligarchs are strengthening everywhere. Although humanity has experience overcoming the influence of the oligarchy. Consistent US tax policy over the decades has produced positive results thanks to the efforts of President F. Roosevelt.

It proves that it is a consistent fiscal policy that can yield positive results. But all these measures have been inhibited throughout the years of independence through various lobbying groups within the legislative body. And the state of the Ukrainian oligarchs is only growing, which allows us to come to the conclusion that there is no demand in society for a real fight against this phenomenon.
COMMUNICATION WITH VOTERS: FACTORS OF EFFECTIVE INTERACTION
Authors: Honcharenko Maksym
Published: November 2022

The present paper is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of communication between politicians and potential voters, its relationship with agitation specific to different target audiences, including the use of modern means of communication. Factors that contribute to successful communication are considered and presented, depending on the specifics of the audience. The problem of effective communication in Ukrainian society is relevant in many areas. Research on this issue takes place in the scientific sphere, non-profit organizations, the public sector, the political environment. The article analyzes the effectiveness of the use of various means of communication with a potential voter, variations in the content and form of information in the interests of increasing political influence. The possibility of analyzing information policy and its adjustment is considered separately. The study of the specifics of the application of various communication technologies demonstrates the possibility, based on objective data, to increase the effectiveness of political communication. As a result, it becomes possible to adjust the tactics of communication between the government and the population, forecasting, detecting and combating dangerous manipulations for society, determining the potential audience of politicians. The analysis provides effective tools for exposing manipulative technologies of political influence.

It is proved that the effectiveness of various means of communication is due to external and internal factors inherent in a certain category of potential voters. Among them are the factors of traditionalism of a certain political worldview for a particular area, age and marker status of the target audience, the density and living conditions of the audience, its number, education and financial status.
PRIORITY DIRECTIONS OF PRECARIOUSNESS PROBLEMS RESEARCH

Published: November 2022

The presented research work deals with the multidimensionality of investigations on the problems of precariousness and precarization through recent period of time. The approaches of domestic and foreign scholars on the content of the study, sources of formation and political consequences of strengthening the processes of precariousness in modern societies have been systematized. The interpretation of the phenomenon of precariousness in narrow and broad senses has been identified. It’s been noted that important determinants of the transformation of socio-political structure of states in postmodern era are the changes within system of global and national production, the spread of network formats of organization of production and labor, the demand for international and national business flexible forms of labor organization. The priorities of scientific research through the first quarter of the 21st century in the analysis of changes within structural nature of the socio-political representation of wages-based labor in new conditions of global economy and geopolitics have been revealed. It is determined that the growth of youth unemployment due to structural transformations of manufacture and employment system, the introduction of restrictive and often discriminatory measures against migrants on the background of intensifying slogans of economic and political nationalism exacerbate the problem of social stability and political predictability, that contributes to the renaissance of populist movements and parties, in particular, either left or right bias. The research potential for the analysis of precarization processes in the world as a whole and in some particular countries of specialized reports and projects of international organizations has been identified. It is important that international organizations are not limited to educational and analytical functions on unemployment and social stability, but also make efforts to stabilize the workforce, in particular within the UN, the International Labor Organization (ILO), such associations like the EU, OECD and other international and regional organizations. Assessment of trends and manifestations of social instability and uncertainty in the analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, both at the global level and in some countries and regions, is carried out through the measuring processes of industries and services restructuring; increasing share of flexible forms of employment, freelance, "zero contracts", strengthening of new social statification.
FOOTBALL AS AN INSTRUMENT OF SOCIETY‘S POLITICIZATION
Authors: Olishevska Viktoriia , Polishchuk Kostyantyn
Published: November 2022

The active function of football culture referring to the population’s politicization which comes out through self-identification and daily political behavior stands out in this paper. Considering the fact that football began to go beyond the pitch, the studies of sport fandom, economic consequences of international competitions, soft power in terms of stereotypes and state’s political influence have been being conducted since. This paper examines one of such processes that involves a larger part of the world's population at the global and local levels – which is an active support of the football club as a tool of identification and practice of a particular political determination of society. At the same time, the arguments for the indirect identification of a football club with the local authorities can be found here as well because not only does a club with a clear position become a prototype of the desired power, but it also turns to be a tool to fight with for this power.

The aim of the article lays in a deep research of the mentioned process in society from various angles – from spatial (Sharon Zukin, John Bale), social (Eric Dunning, Erin Tarver) to historical and political one (David Goldblatt, Simon Cooper). The paper contains the evidence of football clubs being a source of collective and personal memory and of building self-identification and defining the «other» through the prism of fandom as well as examples of such politicization at the global and local levels. The practical part includes the case study of FC «Barcelona» and FC «Karpaty» on the basis of brief historical analysis and interviews with fans.

The fact that football fandom is able to be directed into the political sphere which in turn leads to the socialization of individuals as well as to the intensification of their patriotism and separatism in daily life is also proved in the article. Hence, football clubs are an active factor in today's society at least due to their historically tied symbols, verbal and visual elements, spatial city objects and emotional significance for supporters. At the same time, the need for further research where both interdisciplinary approach and practical study of football fandom will be at the central focus is highly needed as well.
ASTROTERFING AS A TOOL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCE ON THE MASS CONSCIOUSNESS

Published: November 2022

The influence of the Global Network on the possibility allows users to make an active contribution to the filling of its content by posting comments, videos, or other materials on the websitesis investigated. It’s detected, that the latest method of psychological impact is astroturfing the main advantages of which are the budget and mass distribution of the false information among the Internet consumers. It is proved that Astroturfing is one of the successful forms of virtual mass behavior. Due to the correct usage of informational and communicative technologies, there is an acceleration of the process of creating Astroturfing. These new technologies can profoundly change the quality of the political process in modern societies.

The main problem is that astroturfing is almost impossible to study. Partially, it is connected with the complexity and diversity of the structural elements, and partially because it is difficult to distinguish fake or propaganda from the political reality. Despite many governments’ trying to stop the manipulative influence of the stakeholders, efforts are insufficient. That means that efforts to stop the negative impact of astroturfing on the formation of political thoughts and beliefs are unsuccessful. The reveal that the security measures which state institutions are trying to use are quite mild for the elimination of the astroturfing negative impacts, however, tougher measures significantly reduce confidentiality. It is proved that the most effective means of preventing and deterrence of astroturfing is the necessity of the internet users’ increase in informational hygiene and political awareness, the ability to distinguish fakes, understand the main mechanism of the informational impact etc
THE HIERARCHY OF STATES AS A MANIFESTATION OF ASYMMETRY IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Authors: Derevianko Igor
Published: November 2022

The typology and functional features of the subjects of international relations are analyzed. Approaches to the definition of «superpower», «large, medium», «small states» are revealed. States as the basic blocks of global structures are heterogeneous systems, as they have different power resources, the increase of which can cause transformations in the structure of international relations and increase asymmetry. It is noted that the relations between the states - participants of the international communication are not isolated from each other, but depend on the degree of hierarchy and interest in each other. The hierarchy of political subjects in the system of international relations is considered: superpowers, large, medium, small states, each of which has its own parameters that can be extrapolated to any country to determine its place in this hierarchy and the level of asymmetry. At the top of the global hierarchy of power, according to the criteria of power, the level of global influence on international processes is a superpower, whose relations with lower-ranking states will be exclusively asymmetric. It is indicated that the traditional parameters of a «great power» are military, economic, intellectual, cultural, scientific and technical potential, which contribute to the formation of relations with medium and small states in an asymmetric format. It is noted that an important element of international policy remains the middle states, which usually belong to the group of influential states of the second level. A small state in political discourse is viewed through the prism of small power, which logically fits into the understanding of a small state. The ratio of power potentials, distribution of power and influence between states as the main elements of the international system is revealed. It was found that the asymmetry of power resources and features of strategic culture between states is a characteristic feature of modern international relations. The principles of asymmetry can be traced between states of different levels of hierarchy. It is noted that the asymmetry-oriented approach contributes to the study of the dynamics of differences between states. Relations between states of different types determine modern international politics, in addition, the vast majority of relations, being asymmetric, are not confrontational.

Authors: Li Ruofan
Published: November 2022

With the development of urban construction in China and the improvement of living standards among urban residents, people today have higher requirements for space quality, and the development of urban commercial complexes has also become an important part of urban development. In this process, the functions of urban commercial complexes, in terms of culture, leisure, commerce, tourism, and office work, are gradually compounded. The integration of the commercial complex landscape with the urban environment shapes a place that provides more humanized services to the urban population. The landscape facilities in the commercial complex square are no longer just a foil, but they are constantly improved and optimized for the benefit of the crowd. Beginning from the exterior space of commercial complexes, this study investigates and analyzes the landscape design, and based on the external landscape distribution of Happy Harbor and the environment created by the landscape, this paper expounds the commercial landscape design and development of a more comprehensive and humanized commercial urban complex space landscape.

Moving Through Paris: The Discontinuous Forms of Julio Cortázar’s 'Rayuela' (1963) and Luisa Futoransky’s 'De Pe a Pa' (1986)
Authors: Pearson Iris
Published: November 2022

This essay examines the way in which two late twentieth-century Latin American novelists address movement through the city of Paris. Building on existing work by Julie Jones (1998), Jason Weiss (2003), Axel Gasquet (2007) and especially Marcy E. Schwartz (1999), this project moves beyond a genealogy of Latin American writers in Paris towards a conception of the relationship between narrative form and depictions of urban navigation. It proposes that Julio Cortázar in Rayuela (1963) and Luisa Futoransky in De Pe a Pa (1986) enact a mode of movement through the discontinuous and episodic forms of their novels, and that the contrast between their depictions of movement, and particularly their depictions of the relationship between fragmentation and continuity within this movement, can be most clearly understood along the axis of gender. That is, while for Oliveira in Rayuela movement through the city is largely uninterrupted and can preserve at least an illusion of fluidity, for Laura in De Pe a Pa the woman’s movement through Paris is always discontinuous, difficult and even dangerous. Futoransky revises that earlier male writer’s formulation of movement to draw attention to a masculine complacency which organises Rayuela and to propose a new model for female urban navigation.

Running Water in Clarice Lispector's The Besieged City
Authors: Lorenz Johnny
Published: November 2022

When, in Clarice Lispector's The Besieged City (1949), our protagonist, Lucrécia, contemplates her relationship with the city of São Geraldo, she pays special attention to water and water infrastructure. Pipes and embankments and viaducts, even the humble faucet – all of this technology of controlling and delivering water becomes a way of conceptualizing the city, but waterworks, I argue, is also an integral part of the text's experiment with vision. Can one see what is there? Can one see the "thing" liberated from our vocabularies? In Chapter 6, in which, supposedly, nothing is happening, Lucrécia is at the faucet, doing the dishes, losing her sense of self as she communes with the city. Later, when she notices a broken faucet in the storeroom, she confronts the thingness of this piece of equipment. To realize the thingness of herself is her most powerful desire. My analysis attempts to complicate feminist readings of The Besieged City by arguing that the text imagines objectification not as a problem, but as a paradoxical attempt at agency. Previous readings approach Lispector's novel as a condemnation of the city; my analysis understands The Besieged City as a representation of the modern sublime.

Angels of Allegory and Experience: Laura Restrepo's "Dulce compañía" and Gabriel García Márquez's "Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes"
Authors: Skye Mackie Erin
Published: November 2022

Establishing an intertextual relation between Restrepo’s novel and García Márquez’s story, this paper examines how Restrepo’s paired commitment to socio-political relevance and to broad legibility shapes her novel’s engagement with the legacy of magic realism and with discursive, especially novelistic, conventions more generally. A comparative analysis of thematic and formal features highlights how this commitment molds Dulce compañía’s recapitulation of the theme of the angel of flesh and blood within an updated, urban context and in a commercially successful novel with an international readership. Focusing on narrative and figurative, especially allegorical, discourses, I consider that while the angel allegory in “Un señor muy viejo” is used to excavate literary-rhetorical issues of representation (as argued by Carlos Rincón), in Dulce compañía it is oriented towards the preservative revelation of popular forms of belief that emerge from the lived experience of violence and abandonment.

Redefining Truths: Manuela Rosas as a subject of Imaginative Reconstruction in the Argentine Literary Realm
Authors: Morgan Rachel
Published: November 2022

Manuela Rosas, the daughter of Federalist dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, is an important nineteenth century political figure who was a consistent subject of imaginative reconstruction during the Rosas era. Much like her fellow women revolutionaries, namely Eva Perón and her mother, Encarnación Ezcurra de Rosas, Manuela assumed an active role in the Argentine political arena and was instrumental maintaining her father’s unparalleled political supremacy, acting as chief mediator between the government and the marginalised Argentine masses. This article argues how, in a series of nineteenth-century fictional works, namely those of renowned Unitarians José Mármol (Amalia; El retrato de Manuela Rosas, 1851) and Juana Manuela Gorriti (El guante negro; La hiza del mashorquero, 1865), Manuela has been inaccurately depicted as ‘la primera victíma de la tiranía de su padre’ who desperately needed rescuing. Both writers maintain that Rosas curtailed his daughter’s social freedom, and that she would have reached her true potential had she been raised by civilised Unitarians and not in a Federalist environment. However, María Rosa Lojo’s La princesa federal (2010) contests the claim that Manuela suffered, instead postulating that she was a resilient and empowered individual who was passionate about promoting the causa federalista, remaining loyal to her father out of choice. I offer an original critical analysis of the unacknowledged and divergent literary and historical representations of Manuela, examining how writers use the lack of historical evidence to manipulate and imaginatively reconstruct her life story and in doing so, blur the line between fact and fiction.
Cadáveres inquietos en Cosas de los Estados Unidos (1864) de Simón Camacho.
Authors: Luciani Frederick
Published: November 2022

Entre las crónicas de costumbres escritas por el venezolano Simón Camacho Clemente (1824-1883) para publicación en la prensa hispanoamericana, y recogidas en su colección Cosas de los Estados Unidos (Nueva York, 1864), hay varias que tratan el tema de su amistad con el pianista Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869). Una de estas crónicas relata un suceso macabro atribuido a Gottschalk, pero a todas luces inventado por Camacho: el supuesto encuentro del pianista, en el vagón de equipajes de un tren, con los ataúdes de soldados caídos en una batalla de la Guerra de Secesión. Según el relato, estos soldados, vivos todavía, habían sido encajonados prematuramente para ser transportados a su lugar de entierro. Además de reflejar una estética gótica propia de las letras románticas en las que Camacho se había formado, y la obsesión popular en la época con la vivisepultura, este relato critica implícitamente ciertas tendencias que el venezolano asociaba con la cultura norteamericana, como el movimiento incesante, la comercialización del arte y del artista, y el descuido de la integridad corporal y moral del ser humano. En última instancia, los detalles del relato sugieren un sentido de escisión entre culturas experimentado por ambos hombres: Camacho, exiliado venezolano en Estados Unidos; y Gottschalk, oriundo de Nueva Orleans, más a gusto viviendo en las culturas latinas que en las angloamericanas, en las que se veía a sí mismo como una “mercancía” comercial.
The Pliable Page: Turn-of-the-21st-Century Reworkings of Villaverde’s Cecilia Valdés
Authors: Civantos Christina
Published: November 2022

This essay examines turn-of-the-21st-century responses to the foundational 19th-century novel by Villaverde, Cecilia Valdés, pointing to the ambivalence toward textual authority and migration as key elements in Cubans’ relationship to historical memory. The analysis of two plays, a puppet show, a novel, and works of visual and performance art, all of which have a textual element and were produced between 1994 and 2006, demonstrates the ongoing use of the Cecilia story to question key elements of Cuban historical memory. While contesting the legacy of the colonial and nation-building era, these contemporary works open a dialogue regarding narratives about Cuban migration, from the 19th century into the present. They unpack the established narratives about Cuba’s colonial period—slavery, race, socioeconomic class, and sexuality, and also contribute to new narratives about migration. The relationship between movement, authority, and textuality in these responses to Villaverde’s novel points to how 19th-century historical memory, and intertwined with that migration, are central to the ongoing renegotiation of Cuban identity. By re-working Villaverde’s novel—figuratively or literally manipulating the pages of Cecilia Valdés—Cuban writers and artists participate in a ritual of resignification that redefines lo cubano.

This article considers how people with disabilities can obtain a higher education degree. This study aims at determining possibilities for improving legal, organizational, and technical mechanisms for inclusive education. The authors of the article conduct a comparative analysis of inclusive education models based on their implementation in Russia and foreign countries. The authors note that inclusive education models used in the Russian universities face organizational and legal, scientific, and methodological difficulties in their implementation. They also conclude that global inclusive education models are more independent, structured, and legally oriented, work with a wider range of people with special educational needs than the Russian models. To solve the existing issues of inclusive education at universities, a model of interaction between participants is proposed based on legal mechanisms for continuous support.
Language learning games when teaching english to young learners
Authors: Pushkina Anna , Krivoshlykova Liudmila
Published: November 2022

The relevance of the study is due to the need to optimize the teaching-learning process by reducing children’s stress and increasing their self-esteem via employing game-based techniques. It is the language learning games (LLG) that allow greater involvement of beginners into the educational process. The purpose of the study is to develop a model of a gamified English lesson, on the basis of which it is possible to conduct classes with younger students. The research methods were the method of a needs analysis (a questionnaire and an oral test) and a pedagogical experiment. 20 teachers took part in the survey, with the experiment involving 39 students.

The study aims to determine the degrees of correspondence between the differential features of nouns in the instrumental case without a preposition, which manifest the peripheral stage of the original part of speech on the scale of adverbialization on the one hand, and the differential features of nuclear nouns and the differential features of nuclear substantive adverbs on the other. The authors used the methodology of oppositional analysis and indexation. As a result, the main stages of the functional transposition of non-positional forms of nouns into the semantic-grammatical category of temporal adverbs are revealed; the share of features of nuclear nouns and nuclear subjunctive adverbs in the structure of peripheral nouns such as “zimoi” is established. The results of the study can be used in further development of the problems of interaction between the semantic and grammatical in the structure of language units.

La guayaba (Psidium guajava) se puede caracterizar por su diversidad genética y sus cualidades morfológicas, fisicoquímicas y biológicas, las cuales dependen de factores exógenos como: cultivo agronómico, época de cosecha y madurez. Caracterizada por su contenido de carbohidratos (13.2%), grasas (0.53%), proteínas (0.88%) y gran contenido de humedad (84.9%). Es importante caracterizar la guayaba ‘media china’ cultivada en el municipio de Juárez, Michoacán, con el objetivo de mejorar características morfológicas, fisicoquímicas, biológicas, nutritivas y variables estadísticas en control de calidad para correlacionarlas a la posibilidad de industrializarla y comercio internacional. Para tal fin, se utilizó la metodología sistémica de los ‘diagramas de bloques de confiabilidad’ que incluyó muestreo aleatorio de la guayaba para estudio, en el que se determina: peso, diámetros longitudinal, transversal, pulpa, espesor y pH. Se obtuvieron; media aritmética, varianza y desviación estándar, variables para graficar y comparar con normas establecidas para comercio nacional e internacional. Como resultado se encontró que, la guayaba procedente del municipio de Juárez, Michoacán, presentó los mejores resultados en su caracterización. La guayaba cultivada en la huerta del municipio de Calvillo en el estado de Aguascalientes presentó resultados menores, se observó que fue superada la calidad por la fruta de Juárez Michoacán.

Al menos en una fase de la postcosecha, los tallos florales de rosa son expuestos al ambiente. El agua que pierden y la rehidratación en el florero dependerán de la temperatura y de la anatomía del tallo floral. En esta investigación se evaluó el contenido de humedad de dos cultivares de Rosa hybrida expuestos a temperatura ambiente de 0 a 48 h y se describió la anatomía de la hoja y del tallo. En marzo de 2019, tallos florales de rosa ‘Engagement’ y ‘Freedom’ fueron cosechados, en un invernadero comercial en Puebla, México y transportados en seco al laboratorio de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, donde se extendieron sobre una mesa. Las evaluaciones se realizaron cada 8 h. En ambos cultivares, la humedad inicial de tallos y hojas fue de 75%. En los que se expusieron por 24 h fue de 66 y 57% para ‘Engagement’ y ‘Freedom’ respectivamente. El grosor de la cutícula y mesófilo fue 96 y 26% mayor en ‘Engagement’ que en ‘Freedom’ (180.9 y 2.4 μm). Los tallos de ‘Engagement’ tuvieron 331 vasos por mm2 con 29.5 m de diámetro, los de ‘Freedom’ 402 de 26.5 m. Rosa ‘Engagement’ perdió menos agua que ‘Freedom’ debido al mayor grosor de su cutícula y amplitud de mesófilo. El número de vasos tuvo poco efecto en la pérdida de agua o rehidratación en el florero. En ambos cultivares, los tallos florales podrían tener una vida de florero útil aún si se exponen al ambiente por 8 o 16 h sin protección alguna, con tiempos mayores disminuye por deshidratación de las hojas.
