Authors: BILYK Valentyna , YASHCHUK Serhii , MARCHAK Tetiana , TKACHENKO Serhii , GONCHAROVA Viktoriia
Published: July 2021

The relentless informational variability in the field of natural sciences, today's need for the training of highly competent, versatile, apologetic future specialists, as well as the low motivation of psychology students to teach natural disciplines, was established by us in the process of their questioning, require the search for new, non-standard solutions in the organization of natural science training of future psychologists in institutions of higher education. We believe that one of the effective ways to solve this problem is the organization of the educational process with the natural scientific training of future psychologists in higher education institutions based on innovation and heuristic. To organize the educational process from the natural science training of future psychologists on the basis of innovation and eurestiality, there is a need to determine such ultra-innovation pedagogical technologies and teaching methods that will meet the requirements of the time, contribute to the formation of psychology students' motivation to study natural sciences and improve the quality and the effectiveness of natural science training. We have characterized pedagogical technologies, namely: coworking technology, barcamp technology, workshop technology, SMART technology, BYOD technology and such innovative methods as: lecture-visualization, video lecture, debates, round table, electronic brain assault , a laboratory experiment and a design-role-playing game, which, in our opinion, will contribute to the implementation of the educational process with the natural science training of future psychologists in higher education institutions based on innovation and heuristic.
FUTUROLOGY OF SEPARATISM AND NATIONAL SECURITY: BEING VS DISSIPATION
Authors: Levyk Bogdan , Kolinko Marina , Khrypko Svitlana , Iatsenko Ganna
Published: July 2021

The peculiarities of the “domestic” and political worlds’ interactions as well as their impact on the freedom of human choice are considered in the article. The purpose of the article is to analyze political and existential being which can be transformed in the light of collecting or distracting way. The phenomenon of national security is analyzed in theoretical as well as in practical dimension. The first part of the study of separatism is connected with the modern social world’s tendency of social transgression which involves blurring the rules and limits expansion. The frontier concept as the transgressive space, which can be embodied in the form of possibility of political interaction or as a place of a political conflict, is offered. Frontier understanding in the light of a cultural dialogue permits to consider it as a perspective dynamic system in the social projects of common being construction. The second part of the article reveals three main directions of transgression: philosophical and reflexive, ethical and normative, common practices. An idea of correlation between freedom of choice, manifestation of will with the human ability of critical thinking, reflection is offered and proved. Tolerance is defined to be the strategical practice in the process of launching a dialogue program of conflicting political communication.
Developing Soft Skills among Potential Employees: A Theoretical Review on Best International Practices
Authors: Malykhin Oleksandr , Aristova Nataliia Oleksandrivna , Kalinina Liudmyla , Opaliuk Tetyana
Published: July 2021

The present paper addresses the issue of determining the best international practices for developing soft skills among students of different specialties through carrying out a theoretical review. Basing on literature on present-day theory the authors make an attempt to explain soft skills dichotomies, summarize existing approaches to classifying soft skills, consolidate and document best international practices for soft skills development among potential employees of different specialties including bachelor students, master students, doctoral and postdoctoral students. The data obtained in the theoretical analysis reveal that the possible ambiguities in the interpretation of the concept of “soft skills” are caused, on the one hand, by the dichotomic perception of their nature by present-day researchers and educators and, on the other hand, by the absence of the common language which makes it difficult to provide a more unified definition most satisfactory to all concerned. The authors are convinced that soft skills have a cross-cutting nature and regard them as personal and interpersonal meta-qualities and meta-abilities that are vital to any potential employee who is going to make positive contributions not only to his/her professional development but to the development of a company he/she is going to work for. The results of the conducted theoretical review clearly indicate that the absence of the unified understanding of the concept of “soft skills” is reflected in the existence of different approaches to classifying soft skills, let alone, the selection of didactic tools for developing soft skills among potential employees.
Results of Studying Strain Relaxation in Steel 25Kh17N2B-Sh (25Х17Н2Б-Ш) and Copper М1 Using Annular Samples of Equal Bending Resistance
Authors: Proskurin A.V. , Sayun S.P.
Published: July 2021

The paper introduces the research into stress relaxation of corrosion-resistant steel 25Kh17N2B-Sh (25Х17Н2Б-Ш) at temperatures of 20 and 100 °C, annealed copper M1 of two types --- soft and subjected to preliminary plastic deformation --- at a temperature of 20 °C, used in the manufacture of parts for butt joints of high-pressure pipelines. The research was carried out on annular samples of equal bending resistance according to the method of Oding. The study shows the action of temperature on the rate of stress relaxation in steel 25Kh17N2B-Sh (25Х17Н2Б-Ш), as well as the effect of preliminary plastic deformation of annealed copper on its relaxation characteristics, which is especially noticeable in the first hours after loading. As a result of the analysis of experimental data and by means of nonlinear regression, we determined the numerical values of the parameters of the equations used to describe the process of stress relaxation. Using the obtained expressions, we calculated and plotted the curves of stress relaxation in the materials under study. Furthermore, we compared the stress values calculated using the obtained relaxation model for steel 25Kh17N2B-Sh (25Х17Н2Б-Ш) at a temperature of 20 °C with the results of stress relaxation of a control sample from the same material, the test results of which were not used in the development of a mathematical model. The calculated data showed good similarity with the experimental data obtained on the test sample, which indicates the correct operation of the mathematical model
On the Method of Calculating Diffusion Vacuum Pump Stage Pumping Parameters
Authors: Demikhov K.E. , Ochkov A.A.
Published: July 2021

At present, steam jet vacuum pumps are widely used in various fields of science and technology due to a number of advantages, e.g., reliability, relative simplicity of design, and manufacturability, over other pumping means. The paper analyzes the existing mathematical models of working processes, methods for calculating the pumping parameters of steam-jet vacuum pumps. The problem of improving these methods, which are used in the design, is still urgent. The study attempts to further develop the models in order to increase their practical significance for the pumps design: in particular, the processes of pumping by the first stages of a diffusion pump are considered, since it is they that determine the efficiency of the pump as a whole. Analytical dependences for calculating the main pumping parameters of widely used diffusion vacuum pumps are presented. The obtained equations are a certain clarifying correction of the known provisions on this topic. Findings of research are of practical importance for the design of modern steam-jet vacuum pumps
Schwellenkunde

Published: July 2021

Der Frankfurter Sozialphilosoph Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969) kritisiert in vielen seiner Texte Sigmund Freuds Beschreibung der äusseren Wirklichkeit als ungenügend. Kaum bekannt ist, dass er selbst zum Verhältnis von Phantasie und Aussenwelt geforscht hat. In den kalifornischen Kliniken von Ernst Levy und Frederic Hacker entwickelte er entsprechende Forschungsprojekte zur Disposition von Künstlern und zur Rolle der Phantasie in der sexuellen Entwicklung des Kindes. Die Ergebnisse verbinden sich mit einer bestimmten Perspektive auf die Psychoanalyse und erweitern ihr Realitätsprinzip um eine «libidinöse Zone».

Duch, który cierpi. O roli cierpienia i rytuału w przeżywaniu kryzysów na przykładzie szkoły waldorfskiej
Authors: Dobiasz-Krysiak Maja
Published: July 2021

Tekst poświęcony jest roli rytuału i sztuki w pokonywaniu jednostkowego cierpienia i społecznych kryzysów. Choć niepopularny we współczesnej kulturze analgetyków, nastawionej na uzyskiwanie szybkich efektów, proces rytualny (jak pokazują za Turnerem Maria Mendel i Tomasz Szkudlarek), jest w swej istocie tożsamy z doświadczeniem kryzysu. Przechodzenie rytuałów ma więc potencjał transgresji, przekraczania sytuacji trudnych dla jednostek oraz społeczeństw. Omawiam to na przykładach przemian narracji porodowych oraz sposobów radzenia sobie z traumą przez Martina Millera, syna słynnej psychoterapeutki Alice Miller.

Inną cechą współczesnej kultury jest odrzucenie sacrum, co pokazuję na przykładzie usuwania teozoficznych wątków z biografii Marii Montessori i marginalizowania szkół waldorfskich Rudolfa Steinera, które wyrastają z kryzysu zachodniej racjonalności. Odtwarzane i zapośredniczone przez sztukę rytuały, wykorzystywane są w szkołach waldorfskich w celach wychowawczych i rozwojowych i zgodnie powyższymi teoriami mogą mieć potencjał pokonywania kryzysów związanych z dojrzewaniem.

Relevansi Ontologi Brahman dan Ātman dalam Kitab Īṣāvasya Upaniṣad dengan Pluralitas Agama di Indonesia
Authors: Joyo Puspo Renan , Murtiningsih Siti
Published: July 2021

Indonesia is a plurality country which is indicated by the diversity of ethnicities, races, customs, languages, and religions. Plurality, including religion, can have implications for cooperation but also conflict. The facts show that the plurality of religions in Indonesia is in trouble. But inherently, all religions, including Hinduism, also have values that can overcome the problem of plurality, which is hidden in its theological concepts. This study aims to explore the Brahman and Ātman in the Īṣāvasya Upaniṣad ontologically and its relevance to the plurality of religions in Indonesia. This research is library research using a qualitative approach. The material objects of the research are Brahman and Ātman in the Īśāvasya Upaniṣad. Data collection in this study was carried out through document studies on primary and secondary data sources. Data analysis in this study used methodical steps of descriptive, interpretative, and holistic analysis. The results showed that the study of Brahman and Atman was ontologically described in several categories, including substance, quantity, quality, place, time, position, ownership, and action. In addition, this study contains value concepts relevant to religious plurality, including kinship, tolerance, harmony, divinity, holiness, nobility, brotherhood, empathy, love, and mutual respect.
Milking the Milkers: a Study on Buyer Power in the Dairy Market of Peru
Authors: Oré Tilsa , Távara José
Published: July 2021

La literatura sobre competencia imperfecta sugiere la existencia de dos condiciones que facilitan el ejercicio del poder de mercado del comprador: la existencia de una oferta inelástica y con pendiente positiva, y la existencia de una alta concentración en las compras. En este estudio, utilizamos datos agregados mensuales (de 1999 a 2014) del mercado de leche cruda en Perú. Probamos si esas condiciones se cumplen, analizando el mercado y estimando la elasticidad de la oferta. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren la existencia de poder de compra en el mercado de la leche cruda ya que se verifica una oferta inelástica de leche cruda y un mercado altamente concentrado. Nuestra evaluación se refuerza con el papel que juega el poder de mercado existente de las empresas en el segmento aguas abajo y la existencia de barreras de entrada en ese segmento de mercado.
Notas para pensar la conflictividad socioambiental en clave territorial
Authors: Hernández Facundo M.
Published: July 2021

El presente trabajo aborda el problema socioambiental tomando como base la geografía crítica, corriente necesaria en un contexto de crisis socioambientales que ponen de manifiesto las contradicciones y límites del sistema capitalista en América Latina y el mundo. Desde este posicionamiento, la propuesta es introducir a la temática atendiendo a la territorialidad que contiene la relación sociedad-naturaleza. Se hace énfasis en la tendencia, bajo la lógica de la economía de mercado, a que se desencadenen conflictos socioambientales incitados por agrupamientos sociales con intereses ambientales y demás organizaciones territoriales que pugnan por los recursos, la naturaleza, los territorios y la democracia. Además, estos movimientos sociales en su accionar contribuyen al estado del conocimiento de los casos en los que se involucran y promueven la instalación en la agenda pública de temas censurados, inadvertidos o tergiversados por las corporaciones mediáticas y las agencias de gobierno. El aporte de estas líneas es revisar conceptos, reinterpretarlos, ensayar métodos de trabajo y organizarlos para fines didácticos, con el fin de estimular una conciencia crítica de lo ambiental y territorial en alumnos de los niveles educativos en los que se imparta la geografía. En todo el artículo, se trabajó con diferentes ejemplos que sirven para clarificar los términos propuestos y las cuestiones de método.
Alianzas y conflictos en un territorio del agua: el caso de la subcuenca del río Santa Eulalia
Authors: Castro Salvador Sofía
Published: July 2021

La participación es considerada como uno de los elementos clave para la descentralización en la gestión del agua y como un medio para mejorar la eficacia y reducir las desigualdades territoriales. En un territorio de agua encontramos diversos actores con intereses, demandas y agendas en relación con el agua. Esto puede generar tensiones por un recurso que se vuelve cada vez más demandado debido a los diversos usos (agrícola, urbano, industrial, turístico) y en las diferentes instancias de gestión (público, privado y comunal). Este articulo intenta mostrar las relaciones de poder en un territorio de agua, es decir, cómo los poderes locales participan en la gestión del agua, cómo coordinan entre ellos y con otros actores en diversas escalas. En estas relaciones de poder se observan cooperaciones, alianzas en consolidación, pero también tensiones entre los actores, conflictos por los territorios, defensas por las territorialidades y superposiciones de proyectos. Esto debido a la limitada coordinación entre los actores locales ya que cada uno maneja agendas individuales y tiene intereses en juego lo que no permite una real participación ni consolidación de alianzas. Lo que resulta en un verdadero desafío para la gobernanza del agua y para el territorio.
Testimonio y autobiografía: hacia una noción de narrativas testimoniales del yo en el cine y la literatura de posdictadura argentina
Authors: Bartalini Carolina C.
Published: July 2021

A lo largo de los años que siguieron a la reapertura democrática, en el cine y la literatura, se han producido diferentes maneras de figurar las experiencias de las víctimas de la última dictadura cívico-militar argentina (1976-1983) en cercano vínculo con los acontecimientos de cada coyuntura. Entre el discurso testimonial y los procedimientos de la autobiografía, a partir del siglo XXI se abre un nuevo género multimedial en proliferación: las narrativas testimoniales del yo. En ellas se configuran formas estético-políticas peculiares e innovadoras de abordar las experiencias de memoria de la segunda generación del genocidio de Estado, las exploraciones del cine, la literatura y la fotografía de la generación de las hijas e hijos de personas desparecidas.
La composición de El morador (1944) de Javier Sologuren: estructura temática y unidad estilística
Authors: Guizado-Yampi Renato
Published: July 2021

El morador es el primer conjunto de poemas de Javier Sologuren, publicado en 1944 como separata del número 8 de la revista Historia. La crítica conviene en destacar el alto dominio de formas poéticas y del lenguaje que muestran sus versos; sin embargo, no ha atendido ese riguroso trabajo de Sologuren que opera también al componer el conjunto no como una adición accidental de poemas, sino como una estructura que los integra según un sentido alineado a la concepción de poesía que estos trasuntan. El presente artículo examina ese aspecto de la escritura de El morador, colección concebida con una estructura secuencial y una unidad de estilo, y ofrece una interpretación a partir del análisis de cada poema.
FACTOR DE COMPORTAMIENTO SÍSMICO MÁXIMO DE DISEÑO PARA EDIFICIOS UBICADOS EN EL MUNICIPIO DE VERACRUZ, Y DISEÑADOS CON EL MDOC-CFE-2015
Authors: Barradas Hernández José Eriban , Vargas Colorado Alejandro , Picazo Gama Yasser
Published: July 2021

En este estudio se muestra que diseñar un edificio para valores del factor de comportamiento sísmico (Q) de tres o cuatro, de acuerdo con el Manual de Diseño de Obras Civiles de la Comisión Federal de Electricidad versión 2015 (MDOC-CFE-2015), podría resultar en que el estado límite de servicio rija el diseño por resistencia de una estructura, lo cual no debe ser. Para percatarse de ello, el diseñador tendrá que realizar un proceso iterativo que podría requerir muchas iteraciones, lo cual incrementará significativamente el trabajo. Por lo anterior, se obtiene una función para estimar el máximo valor de Q con el que se debe diseñar un edificio, cuya implementación reduce considerablemente dicho trabajo iterativo.
Statut social et émigration internationale des femmes au Burkina Faso
Authors: Barry Ousmane , Mimche Honoré , Tchouala Patrice Tanang , Kone Hamidou
Published: July 2021

Le statut social de la femme est un critère de différenciation dans le domaine de la migration internationale féminine. Cependant la littérature reste peu prolixe sur la relation entre celui-ci et la pratique migratoire. Cette étude vise à documenter les liens entre le statut des femmes et leurs comportements migratoires dans le contexte burkinabè. Elle s’appuie sur des données secondaires, 3 880 femmes âgées de 15 ans et plus, issues de l’enquête sur l’Interaction entre Politiques Publiques, Migrations et Développement (IPPMD) au Burkina Faso en 2014 collectées auprès de 2 200 ménages. L’analyse a été à la fois descriptive (bivariée et multivariée) et explicative (régression logistique). Les résultats montrent que le statut social de la femme est négativement associé à l’émigration internationale des femmes. Les émigrées sont celles qui ont un statut faible. Elles résident en milieu rural, dans des ménages ayant une expérience migratoire et un niveau de vie faible. Le statut social de la femme explique le départ vers l’étranger chez les femmes Burkinabè et contribue à l’exacerbation des flux migratoires au Burkina Faso. Le sexe du chef de ménage et la taille du ménage constituent un autre groupe de variables qui influencent directement l’émigration des femmes mais aussi de façon indirecte via le statut de celles-ci. En conclusion, cette étude aurait contribué à une compréhension plus large sur les migrations féminines au Burkina Faso. Au regard de ces résultats, l’amélioration des conditions de vie des femmes et l’analyse de l’impact de l’émigration internationale de cellesci sur certains secteurs de développement local telles que la santé et l’éducation constituent des pistes à explorer afin de contribuer à l’autonomisation des femmes d’une part et de tirer les avantages qu’offre la migration d’autre part.

Authors: Moreno-Candil David , Bravo-Verdugo Edwin Ricardo , Burgos-Dávila César Jesús , Grijalva-Verdugo Abel Antonio
Published: July 2021

Introducción. La pandemia de la COVID-19 llevó a que la mayoría de los países suspendieran las actividades educativas de forma presencial. En México se optó por continuar el ciclo escolar a distancia. Debido a lo atípico de la situación, no se cuentan con herramientas para evaluar la experiencia del estudiantado ante esta medida. Objetivo. Diseñar y evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencia Educativa durante Pandemia (CEEP). Método. El CEEP consta de 89 ítems en escala Likert, se aplicó a una muestra no probabilística de 1,441 estudiantes mexicanos de educación superior. Resultados. Se realizó un Análisis Factorial Exploratorio, se eliminaron ítems con carga factorial inferior a 0.40, ítems restantes se agruparon en 9 factores (50.836% de la varianza total). Los factores y el cuestionario en general arrojaron valores aceptables de consistencia interna (0.670 > a > 0.991). Discusión. Se considera que el CEEP es una herramienta adecuada para evaluar la experiencia estudiantil durante la pandemia. El estudiantado valora positivamente sus aptitudes para la educación a distancia (EaD), así como la calidad y proceder de sus docentes; pese a ello reportan menor satisfacción con la dinámica de la EaD y una experiencia emocional negativa.

The study focuses on the political economy dynamics of agricultural commodity circuits to reveal how they can contribute to understanding the drivers and constraints of agricultural commercialisation in Zimbabwe. This paper traces the circuits of maize and tobacco, the two major crops for food security and foreign currency earnings in Zimbabwe.
Freedom of Religious Belief and People with Disabilities: A Case Study of People with Disabilities from Religious Minorities in Chennai, India
Authors: Thompson Stephen , Rohwerder Brigitte , Arockiasamy Clement
Published: July 2021

India has a unique and complex religious history, with faith and spirituality playing an important role in everyday life. Hinduism is the majority religion, and there are many minority religions. India also has a complicated class system and entrenched gender structures. Disability is another important identity. Many of these factors determine people’s experiences of social inclusion or exclusion. This paper explores how these intersecting identities influence the experience of inequality and marginalisation, with a particular focus on people with disabilities from minority religious backgrounds. A participatory qualitative methodology was employed in Chennai, to gather case studies that describe in-depth experiences of participants. Our findings show that many factors that make up a person’s identity intersect in India and impact how someone is included or excluded by society, with religious minority affiliation, caste, disability status, and gender all having the potential to add layers of marginalisation. These various identity factors, and how individuals and society react to them, impact on how people experience their social existence. Identity factors that form the basis for discrimination can be either visible or invisible, and discrimination may be explicit or implicit. Despite various legal and human rights frameworks at the national and international level that aim to prevent marginalisation, discrimination based on these factors is still prevalent in India. While some tokenistic interventions and schemes are in place to overcome marginalisation, such initiatives often only focus on one factor of identity, rather than considering intersecting factors. People with disabilities continue to experience exclusion in all aspects of their lives. Discrimination can exist both between, as well as within, religious communities, and is particularly prevalent in formal environments. Caste-based exclusion continues to be a major problem in India. The current socioeconomic environment and political climate can be seen to perpetuate marginalisation based on these factors. However, when people are included in society, regardless of belonging to a religious minority, having a disability, or being a certain caste, the impact on their life can be very positive.
Deaf Uzbek Jehovah’s Witnesses: The Case of Intersection of Disability, Ethnic and Religious Inequalities in Post-Soviet Uzbekistan
Authors: Yusupov Dilmurad
Published: July 2021

This study explores how intersecting identities based on disability, ethnicity and religion impact the wellbeing of deaf Uzbek Jehovah’s Witnesses in post-Soviet Uzbekistan. By analysing the collected ethnographic data and semi-structured interviews with deaf people, Islamic religious figures, and state officials in the capital city Tashkent, it provides the case of how a reaction of a majority religious group to the freedom of religious belief contributes to the marginalisation and exclusion of religious deaf minorities who were converted from Islam to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The paper argues that the insensitivity of the dominant Muslim communities to the freedom of religious belief of deaf Uzbek Christian converts excluded them from their project activities and allocation of resources provided by the newly established Islamic Endowment Public charity foundation ‘Vaqf’. Deaf people in Uzbekistan are often stigmatised and discriminated against based on their disability identity, and religious inequality may further exacerbate existing challenges, lead to unintended exclusionary tendencies within the local deaf communities, and ultimately inhibit the formation of collective deaf identity and agency to advocate for their legitimate rights and interests.

Mapeamento de conhecimento científico: modelagem de tópicos das teses e dissertações do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação da UFMG
Authors: De Souza Marcos , Souza Renato Rocha
Published: July 2021

O uso das ferramentas computacionais tem sido cada vez mais exigido para organizar, recuperar e compreender o crescente volume de dados. A comunicação científica tem contribuído, por meio de trabalhos formais e informais, para esse fenômeno; entretanto, a organização de uma grande coleção de documentos pode se tornar um processo lento e questionável quando realizado sem recursos tecnológicos. A modelagem de tópicos, por meio de algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina, tem possibilitado organizar e resumir corpora de dados. A problemática da pesquisa é descobrir como se têm apresentado os temas das teses e dissertações produzidas pelo Programa de PósGraduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Busca-se identificar os tópicos de maior relevância do corpus de dados, constituído por documentos do tipo teses e dissertações desse programa de pósgraduação, assim como os termos de cada tópico e os pesos atribuídos a cada um desses termos. Na modelagem de tópicos, utilizou-se o modelo de alocação de Dirichlet latente, configurado para identificar 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 e 20 tópicos junto ao corpus de dados, o que permitiu realizar o mapeamento científico dos documentos analisados. Os resultados com 14 tópicos foram mais coesos e apresentaram menos ruídos e, por isso, permitiram inferir os nomes dos tópicos de maneira mais segura e estabelecer correlações com as linhas de pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.

Comparative Evaluation of Two Commercial Propolis Extracts as Plant Defense Activator and Antimicrobial Agent Against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) strain DC3000
Authors: ATEŞ Melda , ÖZKURT Nazlı , BEKTAŞ Yasemin
Published: July 2021

Propolis is a natural bee product that protects the beehives from internal and external factors. It is a natural-complex compound with a wide potential use as an antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory effect. The role of propolis as a plant protection agent and an alternative to pesticides is an unexplored area. Here, two different commercially available propolis extracts were evaluated for antibacterial effects on Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) strain DC3000. Also, the activities of defense response genes WRKY70 and CaBP22 in Arabidopsis thaliana under propolis application were compared. According to the results, each propolis extract and dose had a different effect on gene expressions as well as antibacterial activity. One of the commercial brands had a significant effect at all doses while another brand’s propolis extract had its activity at only 1% concentration. Propolis reduced bacterial growth up to 93% with a 2% concentration. For the first time, propolis is also evaluated for its capacity as a plant defense activator agent and it induced WRKY70 and CaBP22 gene expression. The differences in gene expression and bacterial growth inhibition levels suggest the importance of the origins of propolis, such as plant species and regions it collected. While preliminary in nature, these results suggest a significant potential of propolis in plant protection in commercial and organic agriculture.

Published: July 2021

Öğrencilerin başarı algıları ve başarıya yükledikleri anlamlar, yaşam doyumlarının bir göstergesi olarak düşünülebilir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada, farklı kademelerdeki öğrencilerin başarılarına yükledikleri anlamların neler olduğunun, öğrencilerin başarı deneyimlerinin nasıl gerçekleştiğinin ve matematik başarısının genel başarı içerisinde nasıl konumlandırıldığının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Fenomenoloji olarak desenlenen bu çalışmanın katılımcılarını, ortaokul, lise ve üniversite kademelerinden toplam 18 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanılarak elde edilen veriler, tematik içerik analiz tekniği kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre, öğrencilerin genellikle başarıyı konulan bir hedefe ulaşma olarak gördükleri; öğrencilerin başarı algılarının ilkokul kademesinden itibaren not-ağırlıklı olmaktan uzaklaştığı, ancak bu değişimin asıl olarak lise kademesinden sonra belirginleştiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin matematik dersindeki başarılarının genel başarıları üzerinde etkisi olduğu, matematik başarılarının arkadaşlarıyla olan sosyal ilişkilerinden ziyade, aileleri ve öğretmenleri ile olan ilişkilerini daha çok biçimlendirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Análise do potencial erosivo em áreas de acesso a geomorfossítios no médio curso do rio Araguari, estado do Amapá

Published: July 2021

Os geomorfossítiossão importantes paisagens geomorfológicas, com valores científico, didático e notável beleza cênica, que proporcionam conhecimento sobre os processos evolutivos da Terra e dispõem de potencial ao geoturismo. No Brasil, as áreas de acesso a esses locais apresentam infraestrutura precária, intensificada pela supressão vegetal e excedente pluviométrico, gerando solos vulneráveis à degradação. A erosão é um dos principais tipos de degradação dos solos, cujos maiores índices encontram-se em países subdesenvolvidos. Este artigo objetivou analisar o potencial erosivo em três áreas de acesso a geomorfossítios localizadas no médio curso do rio Araguari, estado do Amapá. Em cada área definiu-se dois pontos para a coleta de solo, totalizando 36 amostras, deformadas e indeformadas, submetidas à análise granulométrica, densidade aparente, e porosidade. As áreas de acesso apresentaram diferentes valores de textura, densidade aparente e porosidade. A concentração de silte na orla fluvial reflete a formação de crostas e está relacionada ao maior valor de densidade aparente e menor porosidade. Assim, a predominância da textura arenosa implica na perda de solos, dada a elevada capacidade de drenagem. Portanto, o potencial erosivo é elevado, pois predominam solos arenosos e siltosos, sugerindo o uso para finalidades residenciais, comerciais e turísticas.

A Bacia Hidrográfica do rio Amazonas é a de maior área e volume de água do planeta. Sua elevada dimensão originalmente foi interpretada como resultado do clima e da configuração geológica da América do Sul. Entretanto, nos últimos anos uma série de estudostem apresentado evidências de que amplos processos de rearranjo de drenagem estariam ocorrendo na região e que estes favoreceram a expansão da Bacia Amazônica. Entre esses amplos processos destacam-se estudos que afirmam que a alta bacia hidrográfica do rio Branco fluía em direção ao rio Essequibo e teria sido capturada pela Bacia Amazônica. Entretanto, os estudos que afirmam isso não apresentam evidências morfológicas para esse rearranjo de drenagem. Neste contexto, através de sensoriamento remoto, geoprocessamento, análises cartográficas e trabalhos de campo, o presente trabalho avaliou as evidências morfológicas que poderiam comprovar processos de rearranjo de drenagem na alta bacia hidrográfica do rio Branco na Amazônia Setentrional. Os resultados permitiram identificar uma série de evidências geomorfológicas integradas entre si e indicativas de processos de pirataria fluvial, com destaque para cotovelos de drenagem,baixos divisores e paleocanais fluviais. Sendo assim, confirmam que no passado os rios Uraricoera e Tacutu –formadores do rio Branco –integravam a Bacia Hidrográfica do rio Essequibo que desagua no Caribe. Porém, graças à erosão regressiva das paleo-cabeceiras do rio Branco foram interceptados e integrados à Bacia Amazônica.

Online Courts: Re-Assessing Inequality in the ‘Remote’ Courtroom
Authors: Long Vanessa
Published: July 2021

This paper explores the repercussions of the virtual hearings within the context of socioeconomic inequality in the justice system. Following the imposition of ‘lockdown’ conditions in the UK in March 2020, the Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) rapidly introduced an online court system resulting in thousands of hearings being swiftly transferred onto audio or video-calling platforms. This study is based on interviews with six barristers and solicitors practising in the criminal and family courts, focusing on what the online court experience can reveal about the disparity in socioeconomic status between those judging and those being judged. Conducting a thematic analysis of the interview data, I argue that the disruption to the courtroom dynamics caused by online hearings highlights tacit functions of the lawyer’s role in supporting their clients to navigate the daunting court experience and comply with courtroom customs. I ultimately conclude that concerns regarding the loss of solemnity of proceedings reveal assumptions of both the traditional and virtual court environment and suggest that further research is needed before committing to permanent technology reforms.
Species Thinking Without Agency: The Afterlife of Slavery, Clones, and Blurring Subject and Object in the Anthropocene
Authors: Song Joey
Published: July 2021

The overwhelming scale of climate change demands new ways of bridging national, cultural, and taxonomic differences. However, ecocritical frameworks that emphasise non-human agency in an attempt to make human individuals empathise with other people, other species, and the earth are haunted by the tenacious spectre of nineteenth-century classical liberalism’s characterization of personhood through specious, fragile dichotomies that can largely fall under the general rubric of agency versus determinism. The putatively opposed terms of these binaries are malleable, and control of their designation is a key element of control societies. Contemporary scholarship has identified several ways subjects bleed into objects, but, even though the ‘individual’ should theoretically collapse under its own ontological pressure in our current biopolitical age, neoliberalism largely holds onto classical liberalism’s central dogma of a person as an agential individual. I analyse the novel Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro and its critical analyses to show how the plight to recognise agency is a prison of analysis that upholds an ideal of the individual as the bastion of personhood. As seen through the afterlife of slavery post-emancipation, those in power can discursively recognise the humanity in people formerly designated 'things' while still perpetuating systematic exploitation and dehumanisation. The metric of ‘agency’ as a unit of hope is an epistemic barrier to effective political rhetoric regarding climate change and species thinking.

Fluid-Structure Interaction in Coronary Stents: a Discrete Multiphysics Approach
Authors: Mohammed Adamu Musa , Ariane Mostapha , Alexiadis Alessio
Published: July 2021

Stenting is a common method for treating atherosclerosis. A metal or polymer stent is deployed to open the stenosed artery or vein. After the stent is deployed, the blood flow dynamics influence the mechanics by compressing and expanding the structure. If the stent does not respond properly to the resulting stress, vascular wall injury or re-stenosis can occur. In this work, Discrete Multiphysics is used to study the mechanical deformation of the coronary stent and its relationship with the blood flow dynamics. The major parameters responsible for deforming the stent are sort in terms of dimensionless numbers and a relationship between the elastic forces in the stent and pressure forces in the fluid is established. The blood flow and the stiffness of the stent material contribute significantly to the stent deformation and affect the rate of deformation. The stress distribution in the stent is not uniform with the higher stresses occurring at the nodes of the structure.
Integration and Prototyping of a Pulsed Rf Oscillator with an Uwb Antenna for Low-Cost, Low-Power Rtls Applications.
Authors: Bottigliero Stefano , Maggiora Riccardo
Published: July 2021

The goal of this paper is to present a low-cost, low-power prototype of a pulsed Ultra Wide Band UWB) oscillator and an UWB elliptical dipole antenna integrated on the same Radio Frequency (RF) Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and its digital control board for Real Time Locating System (RTLS) applications. The design is compatible with IEEE 802.15.4 high rate pulse repetition UWB standard being able to work between 6 GHz and 8.5 GHz with 500 MHz bandwidth and with a pulse duration of 2 ns. The UWB system has been designed using the CST Microwave Studio transient Electro-Magnetic (EM) circuit co-simulation method. This method integrates the functional circuit simulation together with the full wave (EM) simulation of the PCB’s 3D model allowing fast parameter tuning. The PCB has been manufactured and the entire system has been assembled and measured. Simulated and measured results are in excellent agreement with respect to the radiation performances as well as the power consumptions.
LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP OF THE SIX MOST ABUNDANT FISH SPECIES IN PRAWN FISHERY SEMI-FIXED TRAP BYCATCHES IN THE LOWER AMAZON REGION (PARÁ, BRAZIL)

Published: July 2021

In this study, the length-weight relationships (LWR) were estimated for six fish species captured during prawn fishing in the Lower Amazon region (Pará, Brazil). Prawn fishing boosts the socioeconomic development of riverine communities and is a relevant activity as a source of income and subsistence in this region. In addition, we registered new LWRs for the species Ossancora punctata and Hypoptopoma elongatum. The samplings were performed in prawn catches monthly from February 2018 to January 2019, using a "matapi" which consists of a semiââ‚¬"˜fixed trap that has a galvanized iron structure (2.5 m height by 2.0 m in length) and nylon mesh (1.40 x 1.60 mm mesh), and has two tapered openings to facilitate the entry and trapping of the prawn. The results show that 75% of the fish caught as prawn bycatches had not yet reached sexual maturity. Thus, it is clear that fisheries need to develop fishing gear that allow small fish to escape from the traps during the prawn fishery.

Published: July 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth performance of Geophagus brasiliensis rearedb under distinct temperatures (24.3 Â± 0.9, 28.1 Â± 1.0, and 31.7 Â± 0.8Â°C) and feeding regimes (apparent satiety and a supply of 4% of the total biomass). About 500 wild-caught individuals were sorted and identified, to screen 180 fish to be used in the experiment (6.81 Â± 1.15 g and 7.51 Â± 0.47 cm). After a 55-day acclimatization period, the fish were distributed in experimental tanks, considering a double factorial randomized blocks scheme, composed of six treatments and three replicates. Growth performance parameters, somatic indexes and carcass yield were evaluated at the end of the experimental period (72 days). Fish fed to the point of apparent satiety presented higher (p <0.05) final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and hepatosomatic index. The animals reared at a temperature of 24.3Â°C displayed higher (p <0.05) final weight, weight gain, specific growth, hepatosomatic index, lower visceral fat, and feed conversion index. It was concluded that G. brasiliensis presents higher productive indexes when fed until apparent satiety and reared in temperatures close to 24.3Â°C.
