ABSTRACT: We report two outbreaks of nitrate and nitrite poisoning in Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. The first, due to Pennisetum purpureum (elephant grass), and the second, due to P. purpureum and Brachiaria spp. (brachiaria grass), both occurred during a prolonged drought. In the first outbreak, the irrigation of the pastures with wastewater and sewage contributed to nitrate accumulation. The second outbreak occurred in pastures cultivated in the border of a dam, that had been submerged for long time accumulating large amounts of organic matter in the soil. Other probably risk factors for nitrate accumulation included the use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides and burning of the vegetation. In the first outbreak, four calves out of a total of 42 cattle died, and in the second outbreak 49 out of 243 cattle, including adults, yearlings, and a 2-day-old calf died. The clinical signs included dyspnea, cyanosis, ataxia, and falls, leading to death. The presence of nitrates was detected in both outbreaks using the diphenylamine test. Quantitative tests were performed in the second outbreak using a portable nitrate meter, and high nitrate concentrations were found. The characteristic macroscopic findings and absence of microscopic lesions and response to treatment with methylene blue were key to the diagnosis of poisoning by nitrates and nitrites. We conclude that poisoning by nitrates and nitrites in ruminants in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil is frequent due to the cultivation of grasses in the border of dams that had been covered by water for long periods or in areas irrigated by wastewater and/or sewage. In addition, the use of a portable measuring device is an effective alternative for the quantification of nitrates in pastures.

Não é ninguém, é o professor! Sobre a figura docente e o seu ofício
Authors: Fanizzi Caroline , Carvalho José Sérgio Fonseca de
Published: February 2022

O presente artigo visa examinar de que modo os esforços empreendidos no sentido de se substituir a pessoalidade da ação docente pela tecnicidade impessoal de sua atividade afetam o professor e o ofício docente. O discurso de tecnicização do ensino, discurso estruturado em torno de uma pretendida completude, centralidade e autonomia da dimensão técnica e metodológica da educação, concebe a educação como uma atividade que prescinde da presença de um alguém, de um sujeito a quem se faz possível o usufruto de um lugar de ação e enunciação. O que resta ao ofício docente face aos esforços que visam reduzi-lo a uma atividade guiada pela lógica da produção fabril, marcada pela repetição automatizada de processos que independem da unicidade e pessoalidade daquele que a realiza? Estaria essa condição relacionada às queixas, adoecimentos, sentimentos de desvalorização e impotência frequentemente enunciados pelos professores? O exame desses questionamentos será feito à luz de uma fenomenologia das atividades humanas, tal como a concebe Hannah Arendt, e de escritos que buscam compreender a educação a partir dos aportes da psicanálise.

Ebola Virus Disease is among the deadliest viral diseases. The field of Ebola vaccine development has progressed over the years with numerous candidates in advanced stages of clinical development. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine against Ebola virus. This review aimed to discuss the promising Ebola vaccine candidates focusing on vaccines against ebola viruses in particular against Zaire ebola virus (ZEBOV). Although DNA vaccines have been evaluated in Phase I clinical studies, it demonstrates low immunogenicity. Thus far, the most successful vaccine platforms are the recombinant viruses including, replicating vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) and chimpanzee adenovirus 3 (ChAd3). The successful trials attests that rVSV vaccines will be submitted for licensing in the near future.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of demographic variables of gender and age on online consumer purchase behavior (CPB) on Facebook in Hungary. The statistical population of the present study consists of Facebook users in Hungary, including Hungarian natives, foreigners residing in this country including students. A sample of 433 online consumers in different age groups was surveyed. The questionnaire was shared via an online link on the Facebook platform and also on various channels. Welch’s t-test was used to examine the gender variable, and Welch and Brown-Forsythe test was used to examine the age variable. The results showed that there was a significant difference between CPB in all age groups and the age group of over 50 years on Facebook. This important result emphasized the importance and impact of social networks as marketing channels on young people. Another important point was the difference between the purchase behaviors of male and female consumers. The results from this research can have implications for businesses in developing their competitive advantages and adopting proper approaches in advertising and marketing campaigns based on the socio-demographic characteristics of people.
APOKRIFNI TEKSTOVI O ABRAHAMU U „LIBRU OD MNOZIJEH RAZLOGA“
Authors: Mikecin Milica
Published: February 2022

U slavenskoj srednjovjekovnoj književnosti sačuvan je pored dvaju samostalnih apokrifa o Abrahamu: „Abrahamovo otkrivenje“ („Apocalypsis Abrahae“) i „Abrahamov zavjet“ („Testamentum Abrahae“) također i ciklus apokrifnih pripovijesti o Abrahamu, koji izvorno sadrži šest tekstova: 1. „Pripovijest o pravednom Abrahamu“, 2. „Pripovijest o Melkisedeku“, 3. „Pripovijest o tome kako je Sara poučila Abrahama“, 4. „Pripovijest o Abrahamovu gostoljublju“, 5. „Pripovijest o Izaku“ i 6. „Pripovijest o Abrahamovoj smrti“. U dubrovačkom ćiriličnom zborniku hrvatske redakcije „Libro od mnozijeh razloga“ (1520) nalaze se jedan do drugoga tekstovi dviju pripovijesti toga ciklusa. Prvi tekst pod naslovom „čtenje ōd abrama“ sadrži „Pripovijest o pravednom Abrahamu“, koja govori o Abrahamovu odvraćanju od idolopoklonstva, a drugi tekst pod naslovom „ōd smarti abramove“ sadrži „Pripovijest o Abrahamovoj smrti“, koja govori o Abrahamovu viđenju Božjeg suda dušama. Tekstološka usporedba pripovijesti o pravednom Abrahamu iz „Libra“ s najstarijim sačuvanim slavenskim tekstom apokrifa „Abrahamovo otkrivenje“ – ruskostaroslavenskim tekstom iz „Silvestrova zbornika“ (14. st.), kao i usporedbe „Pripovijesti o Abrahamovoj smrti“ iz „Libra“ s najstarijim sačuvanim slavenskim tekstom apokrifa „Abrahamov zavjet“ – bugarskostaroslavenskim tekstom iz „Sevastjanovljeve zbirke“ (13. st.), te s hrvatskim glagoljičnim tekstovima apokrifa „Abrahamov zavjet“ iz „Oxfordskoga zbornika“ (15. st.), „Petrisova zbornika“ (1468.), „Sienskoga zbornika“ (16. st.), „Tkonskoga zbornika“ (16. st.) i Berčićeve zbirke br. 5 (15. st.), pokazuje kako tekstovi slavenskog ciklusa apokrifnih pripovijesti iz „Libra“ ne pripadaju istoj redakciji. Na temelju usporedbe sa srpskostaroslavenskim tekstovima raške i resavske redakcije – osobito s odgovarajućim tekstovima u zborniku iz manastira Savina (14. st.), u zborniku iz manastira svetog Pavla na Atosu (15. st.) i u „Zborniku svetog Nikole“ (16. st.) – utvrđuje se da ćirilični tekstovi ciklusa apokrifnih pripovijesti o Abrahamu hrvatske i srpske redakcije pripadaju istoj rukopisnoj predaji i da potječu od zajedničke matice te se izlažu posebnosti tih dviju redakcija.
Tekil değer ayrışımına dayalı ön koşullamanın sıkıştırmalı sınıflamaya etkisi
Authors: ORMAN Özgür Devrim , YILMAZ Derya
Published: February 2022

Dünyada depolanmakta ve işlenmekte olan veri miktarının hızla artması nedeniyle, veri saklama ve veriden bilgi üretimi alanlarında yenilikçi çözümlere her geçen gün daha fazla gereksinim duyulmaktadır; Sıkıştırmalı Örnekleme (SÖ) ve Sıkıştırmalı Sınıflama (SS) sırasıyla her iki alan için çözüm sunan iki yaklaşımdır. Veriden sınıflama yoluyla bilgi edinilmesinde SS kullanımı, sınıflamanın doğrudan SÖ ile elde edilen ölçüm uzayında gerçekleştirilebilmesini sağladığı için işlem yükünü düşürür. SÖ, Shannon örnekleme teoreminde gerek duyulan miktardan daha az sayıda örnekle kayıpsız bir geri çatımı yüksek olasılıkla mümkün kılmakta olup, kullanılan ölçüm matrisine Ön koşullama (ÖK) uygulanmasıyla geri çatım için gerekli örnek sayısı, dolayısıyla saklanması gereken veri miktarı daha da azaltılabilmektedir. SÖ’de ölçüm matrisi olarak, ölçüm matrisinden Tekil Değer Ayrışımı (TDA) ile türetilen matrisin kullanımının geri çatım başarımına katkısı literatürde salt deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, literatürde bir ilk olarak, TDA’ya dayalı söz konusu yaklaşımın bir ÖK olduğu (TDA-ÖK) ve SÖ’de geri çatım için gerekli örnek sayısını düşüreceği analitik olarak gösterilmiş olup, bu bulguya ilişkin iki farklı Monte Carlo (MC) benzetimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Benzetimlerle desteklenen TDA-ÖK başarımı deneysel olarak da iki farklı veri kümesi üzerinde ve üç farklı sınıflayıcı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen SS uygulamaları ile değerlendirilerek, TDA-ÖK kullanımının SS başarımına etkisi yine literatürde ilk defa bu çalışmada incelenmiştir.

Enrichment of motile phototrophs by phototaxis v1
Authors: Lingappa Usha , Merchant Sabeeha
Published: February 2022

This protocol describes a method for enriching motile phototrophs from environmental samples by positive phototaxis, or the ability to move towards light. Samples are collected in the field using sterile equipment, and incubated in water and under lights to bloom phototrophs. Phototaxis is conducted in a sealed glass pasteur pipet filled with 0.15% agar, and wrapped in aluminum foil leaving only the tip exposed. Phototrophs must swim through the agar to reach the illuminated tip, separating them from the rest of the starting sample, and thereby generating an enriched fraction from which the phototrophs can be grown and isolated more easily than from a complex starting sample. This protocol is based on the method described in Sack et al, 1994.
FLASH-seq UMI protocol (V1) v1
Authors: Picelli Simone , Hahaut Vincent
Published: February 2022

The single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) field has evolved tremendously since the first paper was published back in 2009. While the first methods analysed just a handful of cells, the throughput and performance rapidly increased over a very short timespan. However, it was not until the introduction of emulsion droplets methods, that the robust and reproducible analysis of thousands of cells became feasible. Despite generating data at a speed and a cost per cell that remains unmatched by full-length protocols like Smart-seq, scRNA-seq in droplets still comes with the drawback of addressing only the terminal portion of the transcripts, thus lacking the required sensitivity for comprehensively analyzing the transcriptome of individual cells. Building upon the existing Smart-seq2/3 workflows, we developed FLASH-seq (FS), a new full-length scRNA-seq method capable of detecting a significantly higher number of genes than both previous versions, requiring limited hands-on time and with a great potential for customization.

Published: February 2022

As part of the global response to the 2019 novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, it was determined that SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detectable in the faeces of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (1). Further analysis demonstrated that a wastewater epidemiological (WWE) approach, similar to that used to track other viruses (i.e. Poliovirus), could be employed to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The presence of, or changes in concentration of viral RNA within the wastewater network can assist in monitoring the emergence of further viral peaks (2). Thus, monitoring the spread of Covid-19 using the WWE approach has been extensively explored in several countries (3). This procedure, developed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) based upon work of the Corbishley group at the Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh, outlines the method for the concentration of viral RNA in wastewater, as well as in other types of environmental and potable water samples. In this method, a known volume of sample is concentrated using a centrifugal filter to allow further extraction and detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. For further analysis using RT-qPCR please search for "RT-qPCR for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater" by the same authors of this protocol on protocols.io References: 1. Jones, D. L., Baluja, M.

The role of tutor's questioning in mentoring learners' responses to and uptake of feedback on writing
Authors: Saeed Murad Abdu , AbuSa’aleek Atef Odeh , Al Qunayeer Huda Suleiman
Published: February 2022

How teachers can provide effective feedback that promotes' students' active responses to and use of it is the question of the current debate in research. The need for teachers to formulate/compose their feedback in the form of questioning alleviates their authoritative roles in the process. Therefore, this study explored the role of teacher Google Doc-based feedback given in the form of questions on the assignments of 14 pairs of undergraduates in a Malaysian university in fostering their responses to feedback and uptake of it in writing. The results revealed that the feedback questions fall into single Yes/No questions, single Wh-questions, and a combination of both, which served as eliciting responses, eliciting information, seeking clarifications, requesting, checking certainty, and inviting learners to respond to and interact over the e-feedback before using it in revising their texts. Findings indicate that Google Docs functions as an interactive platform where students diversify their responses to e-feedback, such as commenting on the e-feedback, interacting around the e-feedback issues, seeking further feedback, resolving the e-feedback, and addressing the e-feedback through edits/text revisions. Furthermore, the way e-feedback questioning is formulated influences how students respond to and use e-feedback in revising their assignments. The study provides valuable suggestions for teacher feedback practices in graduate courses in higher educational institutions.
Teachers’ attitude towards translanguaging practice and its implication in Indonesian EFL classroom
Authors: Raja Fransiskus Dinang , Suparno Suparno , Ngadiso Ngadiso
Published: February 2022

Previous studies have shown that the majority of teachers tend to be receptive towards translanguaging practices (Khairunnisa Lukmana, 2020; McMillan Rivers, 2011; Nambisan, 2014; Yuvayapan, 2019). However, in Indonesian context, there are relatively few studies in this field employing a case study design to reveal more detailed information. This study was aimed at investigating teachers' attitudes towards translanguaging practices and how the practices took place. The participants were four English teachers from two private junior high schools located in East Nusa Tenggara and Central Java, Indonesia. The data were collected by using questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and observations. The analysis reveals that all participants implemented translanguaging in several typical situations in their EFL classrooms. Despite participants' various feelings towards translanguaging, they still use translanguaging in their teaching and associated translanguaging with positive attributes. Moreover, the majority of teacher participants had positive intentions towards translanguaging in their future class. These findings shed light on a multilingual pedagogical practices and further research directions.
Semiotic analysis in Islamic-Javanese healing texts
Authors: Widyastuti Sri Harti
Published: February 2022

The Javanese healing texts are mostly found in Ancient Javanese and New Javanese. The texts depict the social-cultural backgrounds of the society producing the texts. Healing texts are written in particular patterns, completed with spell prayers which form the compound between the signifier and the signified. Hence, the present study is aimed at analyzing healing texts using Pierce theory and the semiotic method to find icons, indexes, and symbols. The study used the descriptive qualitative method of the Pierce approach. The data sources were texts as the transliteration result of the manuscripts Serat Primbon Djawi (Dossier of Javanese Almanac), Boekoe Primbon Djampi Jawi (Book of Javanese Medicine Almanac), Serat Primbon Jawi (Dossier of Javanese Almanac), Serat Primbon Wirid (Dossier of Spell Almanac), Serat Primbon (Dossier of Almanac) and Serat Primbon Jampi (Dossier of Almanac of Javanese Medicine) transliteration by Bratakesawa. The data were analyzed using the descriptive technique in which the data worthiness was appraised by semantic validity and intra-rater validity. Findings show that all texts are constructed of semiotic structures of icons, indexes, and symbols. In the icons, there are similar relations with verses of the Holy Quran and the nine holy clerics, spreaders of the Moslem religion. The indexes show causal relationships between the cause of the ailments and the therapies in the form of medicinal mixtures. The symbols function to show resentment of cultures that brace them and relate between icons and indexes for the unified healing formulations that are integrated and have suggestive powers.
An Investigation of Needs Analysis and the English Textbook Used for Accounting Major Students
Authors: Alhaq Indah Fatihaturrahmah , Wirza Yanty
Published: February 2022

Indonesian government categorized vocational school study program into nine: technology and engineering, information and communication technology, health, agribusiness and agro technology, fisheries and marine, business and management, tourism, fine arts and crafts, and performing arts, each of which requires different teaching materials relevant to the learning outcomes and market demands. Logically, the students from various vocational study programs could not possibly have the same textbook since their needs in the work industry also differ from one another. This study aims to investigate whether the English textbook that 11th-grade students of accounting majors use is compatible with their needs. This study adopted a qualitative study approach, particularly a case study method utilizing needs analysis and document analysis as research instruments. This study found that accounting students need the speaking skill and also vocabulary skills the most for their future careers. It was found that the English textbook used by 11th-grade students of accounting majors could not meet the students’ needs because the materials in the textbook are considered too general. In other words, the textbook is not major-specific to cater for their work contexts. This result suggests that vocational schools are required to conduct a needs analysis before creating teaching materials, especially textbooks for vocational school students.
Writing Ability with Metaphorming Approach: A Systematic Review
Authors: Suwartini Yati , Lustyantie Ninuk , Suseno Muchlas , Supriyati Yetti
Published: February 2022

Metaphorming is a new way of brainstorming that covers all aspects and complexity of students’ creative thinking skills. This approach enhances fast-thinking ability and creativity, allowing them to connect something that is known with a new one for better problem-solving. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review on how to improve students’ writing skills through a metaphorming approach. The methodology used was the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Furthermore, the writing skills were examined using a metaphorming approach from 5 databases with several articles, including 143, 58, 4, 198, and 23 from Microsoft Academic, Scopus, JSTOR, crossref, and EBSCO, respectively. This study’s results analyzed 11 focus studies related to metaphorming effects. The study strategy was developed by formulating the problem, combining descriptors and keywords, and the year of publication. To choose the correct studies for review, three independent reviewers carried out abstract and full-text selection and research analysis. In this regard, 426 articles were obtained, though only 43 were selected for review. The results showed that mapping the metaphorming approach could improve writing skills. Therefore, this study provides valuable information about the metaphorming approach for better writing skills and can also be used to examine learning and teaching materials development.
Micro-robot para inspección de tuberías
Authors: Canelo Tamara , Gambao Ernesto , Brunete Alberto , Hernando Miguel
Published: February 2022

La inspección robotizada de tuberías de pequeño diámetro es un tema de gran complejidad debido a las restricciones del espacio en el que se deben desarrollar las tareas. Aunque se han desarrollado diversos sistemas robóticos para inspeccionar tuberías, prácticamente no existen robots adecuados para tuberías de reducido diámetro que, por otra parte, son muy abundantes. En esta comunicación se presenta el desarrollo de un módulo de micro-robot destinado a la inspección de tuberías de desagüe domésticas, que en su gran mayoría cuentan con un diámetro de 34 mm, si bien, se ha realizado una configuración con patas que pueden abrirse y cerrarse, de forma que puedan adaptarse a un rango de diámetros entre 32,5 y 55 mm. En concreto se introducirá y desarrollará la arquitectura de un módulo tractor con un novedoso sistema de locomoción, pensado y diseñado para formar parte de una cadena robótica modular heterogénea.

O software utilizado é o Excel, cuja demanda é elevada seja para emprego seja para escola no entanto este tem o ponto negativo resulta em ser bastante sensível no ajuste dos dados. Conclui-se que o melhor ajuste não foi para um modelo viscoelástico fracionário mas sim para um modelo multimodo de Maxwell com três módulos de relaxação.
An Evaluation of Damages Caused by Doxorubicin in Liver Tissue and Potential Protective Effect of Propolis on These Damages
Authors: ORAK Nursen , ÇAKMAK ARSLAN Gülgün , KAYA Salih Tunç
Published: February 2022

Objective: Doxorubicin (DOX), one of the chemotherapeutic drugs utilized in cancer treatment, has limited clinical use due to its serious toxic effects on non-target organs. The purpose of this study is to reveal the harmful effects of DOX in rat liver and the possible protective effect of propolis (PRPLS), a mixture of various herbal products collected by honeybees, on these damages by Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transformation Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy.
Methods: Sprague dawley rats were separated into 4 groups; control, DOX (cumulative dose: 15 mg/kg), PRPLS (200 mg/kg) and DOX + PRPLS. The rats were given 200 mg/kg PRPLS by oral gavage daily for 20 consecutive days and 2.5 mg/kg DOX intraperitoneally on days 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 of the experiment. 24 hrs after the last administrations, liver samples were collected and examined by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.
Results: DOX caused a decrease in the amount of glycogen and nucleic acids, an increase in the amount of lipids and proteins and some important changes in the metabolism, structure and conformation of these molecules in the liver. DOX also induced lipid peroxidation, an increase in membrane fluidity, a decrease in membrane order and protein denaturation. PRPLS did not induce any toxic effect on the liver when it was given alone and PRPLS administered before DOX was not effective to eliminate these harmful effects of DOX.
Conclusions: DOX caused significant structural and compositional changes in liver tissue and PRPLS was inadequate to prevent these changes at the dose and time used here.

Published: February 2022

Background: Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important legume crop of tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. This crop suffers from several diseases like early leaf spot, late leaf spot, rust, groundnut bud necrosis, peanut clump and collar rot etc. But collar rot caused by Aspergillus niger van Teighem is one of the most important seed and soil borne diseases causing huge economic (40-50 per cent) loss in India and abroad. Methods: A roving survey was conducted to assess the incidence of collar rot in eight major groundnut growing districts of western Rajasthan i.e. Bikaner, Jodhpur, Churu, Jalore, Jaipur, Sikar, Nagaur and Dausa during Kharif 2018. A field experiment was carried out for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020) to manage the disease through altering micro-climate under canopy with six levels of seed rates (80, 85, 90, 95, 100 and 105 kg/ha). Result: Our investigations cleared that this disease is prevalent in all the 200 fields surveyed in eight districts of Rajasthan with 22.99 per cent overall disease incidence which varied from 17.84 to 32.38 per cent with monetary losses. Maximum disease incidence was recorded in Jaipur (28.85%) district while it was lowest in Nagaur district (20.15%). Higher disease reduction (12.97%) with increased pod yield (27.65%) was observed with higher seed rate of 105 kg/ha as compared to standard recommended seed rate (80 kg/ha) as this pathogen is favoured by higher temperature and low soil moisture, dense canopy provides shade that increases humidity under the cropped area and lowers temperature. As a result of this, plant mortality can be compensated by increasing plant population through seed rate, as it modifies the microclimate and generate an environment which is less favourable for developing collar rot disease of groundnut.

Published: February 2022

En los últimos años, el incremento de las redes sociales ha llevado a que los consumidores pasen mucho tiempo en línea, obteniendo a través de ellas mucha información acerca de diferentes productos y servicios que son de su interés. Es en este contexto, que las empresas han tenido que reorientar sus estrategias, con la finalidad de explorar y explotar las redes sociales como un nuevo medio de comunicación publicitaria. Existen diferentes redes sociales como Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube e Instagram; sin embargo, Facebook es una de las redes sociales que ha tomado mucha fuerza durante los últimos años. Existen investigaciones que se centran en las actitudes de los consumidores frente a la publicidad en Facebook. No obstante, encontramos poca literatura que trata este mismo tema centrada en el consumidor joven y en una categoría de producto específico. En este contexto, el presente estudio exploratorio se centra en conocer cuál es la actitud de las mujeres jóvenes frente a la publicidad de la categoría de ropa y accesorios presentada en Facebook. Para ello, se realizaron catorce entrevistas a estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Lima, seleccionados en base al muestreo por conveniencia, donde se reveló que a pesar de que las jóvenes universitarias cuentan con otras redes sociales, aún siguen utilizando Facebook y muestran una actitud positiva a la publicidad en Facebook siempre y cuando la publicidad no sea invasiva, las entretenga, cuente con información relevante, utilicen imágenes que generen afinidad con ellas y contenga mensajes atractivos acorde a su edad.

Esta investigación se centra en el estudio de las experiencias del tercer espacio de una flagship store, y cómo este espacio, a través del uso de la personificación de marca, comunica su personalidad, en relación con el sector de moda. El caso que se analizó fue el de la tienda insignia de Butrich y el público objetivo fueron mujeres entre 24 a 40 años del NSE B. La importancia del desarrollo de esta investigación se ve reflejada en los aportes que tiene en el ámbito de la publicidad y el marketing peruano, dado que la tienda insignia es una forma diferente de hacer publicidad en 3D de la marca. El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido identificar de qué manera la experiencia en el tercer espacio de la flagship store de Butrich puede lograr comunicar la personalidad de la marca a través del uso de la personificación de esta entre mujeres de 24 a 40 años. La metodología se basó en el enfoque cualitativo. Se usó la herramienta de entrevistas a profundidad. Los hallazgos principales fueron tres. El primero es el reconocimiento de Jessica como la personificación de Butrich. El segundo es la publicidad boca a boca. Y el tercero, es un espacio de diversión y de relajación. En conclusión, cuando se desarrolla una buena personalidad de marca, las experiencias en el tercer espacio son positivas y el uso de la personificación ayuda a comunicar y conectar al consumidor. La mejor publicidad que tiene Butrich es su propia tienda insignia.

Published: February 2022

La ciudad del Cusco es una de las provincias del estado peruano que cuenta con mayor cantidad de visitantes al año, cabe resaltar que esta posicionada en una de las principales ciudades turisticas a nivel mundial. Por ende, es una ciudad que su economica gira entorno a la actividad turistica. Es por esta razon que actividad turista en la ciudad a superado su demanda hacia los clientes. En paises sub desarrollados tienen otra tendencia las empresas que se dedican al rubro de turismo, es decir muchas de estas pequeñeas empresas estan internacionalizadas, lo cual genera una pequeña liberacion a la actividad turistica en la ciudad. Sin embargo, se considera que actualmente estas pequeñas y medianas empresas tienen muchas obstaculos al comenzar el proceso de internacionalizacion. Por lo que, en el siguiente trabajo de investigacion analizaremos los factores que promueven en la internacionalizacion de las pymes en el turismo receptivo en cusco a traves de la metodologia uppsala. Para dicha investigacion usaremos una metodologia cualitativa. Se analizará y estudiará factores relacionados con la metodología de expansión Uppsala. Entre estos las teorias como distancia psiquica, distancia geografica, distancia psicologica, teoria de redes.
The restorative-associativ method and present-day plurilingualism
Authors:   Bashkir State University, Khairullin Vladimir I.
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of choosing innovative methods of teaching foreign languages in higher education. One of them recognizes the reconstructive-associative method as the most relevant in the conditions of modern globalization, characterized by a variety of cultures and a variety of languages, i.e. plurilingualism. The method is based on the concept of a bridge language, a connecting language or an intermediary language, proposed by the European Understanding program. This approach involves the use of English or French when teaching a number of Germanic/Romance languages. At the level of teaching foreign languages in Russian universities, the concept of a bridge language is promising when developing training programs for a bilingual audience. At the same time, it is transformed into the concept of the reference language, which in our country is usually Russian. It is recognized that the supporting language does not have to be native. Its role can be the first foreign language, for example, English when teaching a second foreign language (French) language. The proposed innovative approach opens up promising horizons of both educational and didactic and methodological plans for innovative teachers who are able to respond to the challenges of the modern world with their creativity and high language competence.
Doğal Fermente Gıdalardan İzole Edilen Muhtemel Laktik Asit Bakterilerinin Antimikrobiyal Aktiviteleri ve Laktik Asit Üretim Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi

Published: February 2022

Laktik asit bakterileri pek çok fermente ve probiyotik gıdanın bünyesinde yer alan faydalı bakterilerdir. Bu bakterileri önemli kılan özellikleri arasında GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) statüde olmaları ve ürettikleri antimikrobiyal metabolitler bulunmaktadır. Laktik asit bakterilerinin ürettiği antagonistik etkiye sahip en önemli metabolit bu gruba adını veren laktik asit olup; bunun yanısıra hidrojen peroksit, asetik asit, diasetil, bakteriyosin vb. metabolitler ile de antagonistik etkiye neden olmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada çeşitli peynir, sucuk ve kefir örneklerinden izole edilen 23 adet muhtemel laktik asit bakteri izolatının Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076, Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 ve Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43300 (metisilin ve oksasilin dirençli) patojenleri üzerindeki inhibisyon etkisi Agar Spot Yöntemi ile araştırılmıştır. Test sonucunda pozitif etki gösteren izolatların süpernatantları ile Kuyu Difüzyon denemesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Son olarak izolatların ürettiği laktik asit miktarları HPLC yöntemi ile de belirlenmiştir. Agar Spot Testi’ne göre izolatların neredeyse tamamı tüm patojenler üzerinde etkinlik gösterirken, patojenler üzerindeki inhibisyon etkiyi gösteren zon çaplarının 1-24.5 mm aralığında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. 24.5 mm zon çapı ile maksimum etki 31 nolu izolat tarafından E.coli ATCC 25922 üzerinde gözlemlenirken; 1 mm zon çapı ile minimum etki 431 nolu izolat tarafından S. Enteritidis ATCC 13076 test mikroorganizmasına karşı gözlemlenmiştir. Kuyu Difüzyon Testi’nde ise hiçbir pozitif sonuç elde edilememiş ve bu nedenle bakterilerin antagonistik etkilerinin daha çok laktik asit üretiminden kaynaklandığı düşünülmüştür. Yapılan kromatografik çalışma ile laktik asit bakterilerinin ürettiği laktik asit miktarının 0.13-5.52 mmol aralığında olduğu gözlenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar laktik asit bakterilerinin bakteriyosin gibi önemli protein bazlı inhibitörleri üretmese bile, ürettiği temel metabolit olan laktik asit ile etkin bir antimikrobiyal aktivite kapasitesine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
Development Policy or Migration management? (The EU Approach)
Authors: Khakhalkina E. , Pogorelskaya A.
Published: February 2022

The main purpose of the research is to identify the achievements and failures of the European Communi-ties/European Union development policies in terms of countering unwanted migration from third countries to Europe. European development policy started in the 1950–1960s due to the colonial past of many European states which felt responsibility for their ex-colonies. Common development policy was based at first on the values, but later transformed to serve the European geopolitical interests. Therefore, the European development policy changed from providing unilateral preferences and gratuitous help to making any aid conditional on the partner’s ability to meet the EU requirements. Thus, the responsibility for development was gradually moved from Europe to the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) states. In the 2000s, the need to prevent massive immigration making it more manageable became one of the regular EU interests. Therefore, the European Union launched the external dimension of its migration policy that was aimed at making development work for migration prevention. This trend contributed to the EU development policy reorientation from the poorest states to the nearest ones. Although the EU development policy was transformed, it failed to meet most of its aims. The main failures were the expectation to limit immigration in the short-term and overestimation of the Union’s normative power. Because of both Brussels’ inability to ensure development globally and the widening gap in the welfare between the ACP states and Europe, the immigration to the EU is unlikely to drop until 2060s.

Published: February 2022

In-depth research on the rehabilitation mechanism and motion characteristics of a rehabilitation training robot based on 4-UPUS parallel mechanism. The overall design and the working principle of each key component are explained, and the robot rehabilitation scheme is described. The static analysis and modal analysis of the robot bearing structure are carried out to verify whether the static mechanical characteristics of the mechanism meet the application requirements under working conditions.A simplified mathematical model of the six-bar linkage mechanism is established, and the kinematics of the mechanism is solved by the geometric analysis method. The motion characteristic diagram of each key point is obtained through simulation calculation. Establish the motion model of the parallel mechanism, and discuss the working space and motion performance analysis of the mechanism. The forward solution analysis of the mechanism position is carried out by using the numerical analysis method, and the three-dimensional graphics of the attitude angle and linear displacement of the reachable working space are obtained.Taking the UPUS single branch chain as the analysis object, the single open chain analysis method is used to solve the kinematics image of the corresponding surface in the working space of the mechanism, which verifies the correctness of the kinematics theoretical solution and the feasibility of simulation.The research results show that the 4-UPUS parallel mechanism rehabilitation training robot can cooperate with the ankle joint for rehabilitation training. It makes up for the single movement of the current lower limb rehabilitation robot and the unsatisfactory rehabilitation effect, and provides a reference for the practical application of the subsequent ankle joint rehabilitation robot system.
