Influence of Interpersonal Conflicts on Teaching and Learning in Public Secondary Schools: A Case of Magu District, Mwanza – Tanzania
Authors: Mwidege Vicent Alfredy , Tangi Felista
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the study was to assess influence of interpersonal conflict on teaching and learning in public secondary schools in Magu District. Mwanza; Tanzania. The objectives of the study were; to identify the types of interpersonal conflicts commonly found in public secondary schools, to examine the strategies employed by heads of schools in managing interpersonal conflicts and to explore the challenges faced by heads of schools in managing interpersonal conflict. The study was guided by Conflict Theory. The study employed mixed research approach and convergent parallel research design. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze quantitative data while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The targeted population was 1861 from whom the sample of 181 respondents were selected using purposeful and simple random sampling. Majority of the respondents said poor communication channel among teachers, the use of abusive language and names calling, scarcity of resources, indiscipline among students, corporal punishment to students and poor academic performance were the types of interpersonal conflicts between teacher-teacher and teacher – students in their schools. Nevertheless, the study discovered that heads of schools preferred negotiations, regular meetings, compromising, conferences, seminars and avoiding as the strategies for interpersonal conflict management. Furthermore, the study revealed most of heads of schools are not well trained on prior interpersonal conflict management. Therefore no specific strategies employed by heads of schools in managing interpersonal conflict in Magu district rather most of heads of school use their own experience in handling interpersonal conflicts

Authors: Mohr Belinda A , Bartos Diane , Dickson Stephen , Bucsi Libby , Vente Mariska , Medic Goran
Published: December 2021

Aim:
This study estimates the costs and outcomes pre- versus post-implementation of an early deterioration detection solution (EDDS), which assists in identifying patients at risk of clinical decline.
Materials & methods:
A retrospective database analysis was conducted to assess average costs per discharge, length of stay (LOS), complications, in-hospital mortality and 30-day all-cause re-admissions pre- versus post-implementation of an EDDS.
Results:
Average costs per discharge were significantly reduced by 18% (US$16,201 vs $13,304; p
 =
0.007). Average LOS was also significantly reduced (6 vs 5 days; p
 =
0.033), driven by a reduction in general care LOS of 1 day (p
 =
0.042). Complications, in-hospital mortality and 30-day all-cause re-admissions were similar.
Conclusion:
Costs and LOS were lower after implementation of an EDDS for general care patients.

Tres visiones sobre la ética, la religión y el suicidio en la modernidad: religión revelada, religión natural y escepticismo
Authors: Narváez López Marcos Gabriel
Published: December 2021

En este artículo se esbozan tres aproximaciones filosóficas a la religión en la modernidad por la crisis debido al abandono de la metafísica aristotélica. Estas aproximaciones (religión revelada, religión natural y escepticismo) se definen a partir de ciertas consideraciones epistemológicas sobre el poder de la razón. En la ética, la visión de la religión influyó sobre la manera de justificar los juicios morales, en tanto que se pensaba que las leyes de la conducta dependían de la naturaleza de Dios y su voluntad. En este sentido, se toma a tres autores representativos de estas aproximaciones (Locke, Hume y Kant) y se busca aterrizar el trasfondo epistemológico y metafísico al problema concreto del suicidio en relación con el modo de pensar a Dios en estos autores.
El bon sens de Duhem, objetividad y elección teórica
Authors: Serna Ramírez Edgar
Published: December 2021

La epistemología ha buscado dar cuenta de la validez del cambio científico mediante la formulación de reglas metodológicas que permitieran establecer, sin ambigüedad de por medio, cómo y cuándo seleccionar o rechazar las teorías científicas. Sin embargo, la tesis de Duhem (1906) socava este proyecto: si ninguna ley general tiene consecuencias observacionales por sí misma, entonces resulta ilusorio suponer que tales leyes generales o hipótesis pudieran ser verificadas y/o refutadas hic et nunc. Esta tesis es el principal motivo de que los intentos de garantizar la imparcialidad del progreso científico mediante una metodología algorítmica (Kuhn dixit) hayan sido abandonados y, al mismo tiempo, abre la posibilidad de explicar dicha justificación mediante una racionalidad práctica y, específicamente, recurriendo a una epistemología de la virtud (verbigracia, Velasco 1997). En este artículo sostengo que el intento de dar cuenta de la validez del cambio teórico-conceptual mediante una racionalidad práctica resulta tan inadecuado como el intento de hacerlo recurriendo a la tradición metodológica. Para sustentar mi tesis, primero reconstruyo el debate que hubo entre Grünbaum (1976), Feyerabend (2016), Laudan (1976) y Ariew (1984) sobre la exégesis que brinda Quine (1961) de la tesis de Duhem. El resultado de esta discusión consiste en que identificar la tesis de Duhem con la llamada tesis de Duhem-Quine es un malentendido exegético. Enseguida, abordo la pregunta acerca de si el buen sentido [bon sens] de Duhem permite explicar la imparcialidad durante la elección entre teorías que sean empíricamente equivalentes, pero distintas e incompatibles entre sí. Tras exponer, examinar y, en la medida de lo posible, contribuir con la argumentación al respecto llevada a cabo por Stump (2006), Ivanova (2010) y Fairweather (2011), concluyo que semejante tentativa resulta insatisfactoria.
La perspectiva ética en los comentarios del cardenal Cayetano
Authors: Lázaro Nicolás
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo presenta el cambio de perspectiva ética que se advierte en los comentarios de Cayetano a S. Th. II-II, qq. 57-62. Además de la distancia lógico-filosófica con Tomás (quien define la virtud de la justicia con analogía de atribución intrínseca), Cayetano (que lo hace con concepto unívoco) realiza un viraje de una ética de la virtud (o en primera persona) hacia una ética de la obligación (o en tercera persona), a través de la prescripción y la obediencia (formalismo, voluntarismo). El saldo de aquella distancia con Tomás de Aquino no es sólo la triespecificación de la justicia (que también presentamos, junto con sus implicancias teóricas y prácticas), sino además el camino abierto que deja a posteriores corrientes filosófico-políticas que terminarán por generar reflexiones de corte liberal dentro de la misma Escuela. Si bien no nos ocuparemos de ellas aquí, sí ponemos uno de los hitos que las ha favorecido: el cambio de perspectiva ética en la glosa cayetana.
La constitución de la subjetividad desde la interdependencia y los desafíos socioecológicos del siglo XXI: una aproximación desde Dōgen
Authors: Barbosa Cepeda Carlos
Published: December 2021

En el presente artículo, argumentaremos que es posible encontrar en el clásico filósofo y maestro zen japonés Eihei Dōgen (1200-1253) una muy significativa contribución a nuestros esfuerzos por enfrentar la problemática ambiental y social de nuestro tiempo. Esta contribución consiste en una perspectiva a partir de la cual sea posible reconectar la subjetividad humana con el entorno y con los otros. Así, sería posible superar la tendencia del sujeto moderno al autoconfinamiento (cerrarse sobre sí mismo), tendencia que está en la raíz de realidades que han alimentado la crisis socioambiental en nuestra era, como el individualismo en general, y el consumismo en particular. Para desarrollar la idea central del texto, procederemos en cuatro pasos. Primeramente, precisaremos el sentido del autoconfinamiento al que tiende la subjetividad moderna y su carácter de condición esencial para la emergencia de la crisis socioambiental que actualmente enfrenta la humanidad. Enseguida, examinaremos la salida del autoconfinamiento desde Dōgen y cómo a partir de él se puede configurar una forma de subjetividad conectada: el sujeto se configura no en oposición al resto de la realidad, sino en radical conexión y sintonía con la realidad circundante. En tercer lugar, mostraremos que la sintonía en la base de la subjetividad conectada se puede evidenciar en la experiencia estética del ambiente: el apercibirse concretamente del ambiente es la ocasión para que el individuo descubra quién es. Finalmente, desde tal perspectiva sugeriremos eventuales vías para poner en acto esta constitución conectada de la subjetividad que permitan afrontar la crisis socioambiental.
Piedras. Construir itinerarios, avizorar intersticios
Authors: Guevara Aristizabal Juan Felipe
Published: December 2021

Las piedras pueden ser usadas para marcar recorridos y rutas para el pensamiento. Este itinerario está compuesto por cuatro piedras que configuran un terreno de contrastes. La primera pone el contraste entre lo vivo y lo no vivo como punto de partida en el cual la delicada interfaz entre esos dos mundos queda suspendida y puesta en entredicho. Aquí emerge el concepto de agencia como aspecto confuso y problemático. La segunda piedra se desplaza al contraste entre la construcción humana y la construcción geológica, las cuales se encuentran unidas por diferentes acepciones de lo tectónico. El poder móvil de las piedras afinca la tercera piedra en la cual se presentan concepciones ‘premodernas’ del ingenio del paisaje en la geografía y una de las manifestaciones de la productividad de las piedras en los minerales. La extracción de estos últimos pone de manifiesto la íntima relación que hay entre las piedras y la discriminación sobre ciertos grupos humanos, de modo que la cuarta piedra expone la paradoja que se cierne sobre el contraste entre lo interior y lo exterior. Esta última piedra regresa sobre el concepto de agencia para enfatizar uno de sus rasgos turbios. Cada una de las piedras envuelve intersticios entre los cuales fluye una forma de pensamiento que bien podría llamarse la de una ontología minúscula.
El mundo expresado intersubjetivamente: un puente entre Nishida y Husserl
Authors: Alvarado Grecco Daniel Salvador
Published: December 2021

En lo que sigue me propongo trazar un vínculo entre los planteamientos de Nishida y Husserl en lo que respecta la intersubjetividad. Si bien hay diferencias importantes entre estos autores, encuentro que coinciden en el tratamiento del mundo expresado intersubjetivamente, es decir, aprehendido por una multiplicidad de individuos. Para demostrar lo anterior, me centraré en los aspectos que hacen casi imposible cualquier tentativa de vincular los planteamientos de los dos, a saber, el hecho de que Nishida y Husserl parecen ir en distintas direcciones debido al uso de conceptos como ‘experiencia pura’, ‘reducción fenomenológica’ y epojé. Sugiero, sin embargo, que estas diferencias deben ser examinadas a partir de las observaciones de “The Logic of Topos” —Nishida— y Meditaciones cartesianas —Husserl—. A mi parecer, la coincidencia ha de ser encontrada en estos textos, ya que los dos ofrecen la idea de un mundo expresado a través de la aprehensión del mundo del individuo. Mis conclusiones intentarán ampliar el alcance de este artículo al sugerir algunos vínculos entre Nishida y la obra fenomenológica de Jacques Derrida, cuyo trabajo intentó poner la cuestión de la alteridad al centro de la fenomenología.
Polymer-bonded secondary explosives
Authors: Szala Mateusz
Published: December 2021

In this paper, a review of the available literature on physical and explosive properties of explosive compositions containing a secondary explosive and a polymer binder (PBX) is presented. The review focused on an analysis of the properties of compositions containing mostly synthetic polymers. The review showed that, at the moment, the most commonly used composition is a hexogen-based explosive bonded with a chemically cross-linked hydroxylterminated polybutadiene. The use of energetic polymers in PBX compositions was observed only in the experimental systems tested on a laboratory scale. The most popular methods of forming compositions include pressing a previously phlegmatized explosive or chemical cross-linking of the composition in the projectile shell. Compositions which can be formed and reloaded using injection machines are known, but due to many limitations, the method is not widely used.

Garbage workers are very at risk of accidents at work. The work environment of the waste officer when handling garbage in the trash can which has a lot of sharp and dangerous objects, bringing various types of diseases. Efforts are needed to assist waste officers. This assistance is carried out by providing health education about the risks and dangers of the diseases that can be experienced by waste officers while working. This assistance is a promotive and preventive effort aimed at waste officers to avoid health problems or occupational diseases. Most of the work accidents experienced by garbage officers were due to mechanical factors such as being scratched, stabbed, and slipping (71.4%). Another accident was twisted and a falling by 42.9% for each. Meanwhile, for occupational diseases, musculoskeletal problems (pain in the waist muscles) and the presence of conflict were higher, namely 42.9% compared to diarrhea and itching of the skin, namely 14.3%. Health education on occupational safety and health for waste officers is effective in increasing the knowledge of waste officers about the risks of their work environment.

Published: December 2021

We built and validated a Chinese version of the Tolerance for Mental Pain Scale-10 (TMPS-10). Participants were 840 college students in Jilin, China. The TMPS-10 consists of two dimensions: managing the pain and enduring the pain. In our study Cronbach's alphas were .80 and .83, respectively,
and test–retest reliability coefficients were .78 and .72, respectively, for these two dimensions. Exploratory factor analysis results demonstrate that the two dimensions accounted for 61.58% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis results show that the two-factor model fit
the sample data well. As the Chinese version of the TMPS-10 meets the requirements for a psychometric tool, it can be used to evaluate Chinese college students' tolerance of psychological pain.

Faskha, S.M. 2021. Measuring Adoption of Integrated Pest Management Practices by Citrus Farmers in Tartous Governorate, Syria. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 39(4): 257-267. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-039.4.257267 A questionnaire study was conducted to analyze the IPM adoption by citrus farmers in Tartous Governorate during two seasons (2018 and 2019). The questionnaire was designed to collect the required information from a representative sample of farmers (370 farmers). Responses were tabulated, and the extracted data were statistically analyzed by using Chi–Square (X 2 ) at P=0.05. The results obtained indicated that the mean rate of farmer adoption was 5.55 points based on a 10-point scale. Accordingly, practices of the surveyed farmers came in the third level: “IPM level” (based on a proposed scale for adoption consisting of four levels, namely, conventional control, entry level IPM, normal IPM level, and bio-intensive IPM level). The implemented cultural practices, the handling of pesticides, and farmers' knowledge were at the forefront of good practices with mean index of attribute values of 0.66, 0.72 and 0.85, respectively. On the other hand, the Adoptability Index values showed that the non-use of attractant traps, planting mixed varieties, and voluntary lack of commitment to stop spraying (conservation biological control) were -0.46, -0.44 and -0.75, respectively, and those were among the most negative indicators in IPM practices adoption, although 31.35% of farmers did not use chemical control. Keywords: Integrated pest management, IPM, adoption, citrus, Syria.

Published: December 2021

Las aflatoxinas son sustancias tóxicas producidas por algunas especies de hongos que suponen un grave peligro para la salud humana, en especial la aflatoxina B1 que es uno de los principales analitos encontrados en alimentos y está catalogado como cancerígeno. El objetivo de este estudio fue proporcionar información sobre la presencia de aflatoxinas totales en especias, ingredientes y mezclas de especias usados para la formulación de productos cárnicos y productos cárnicos comercializados en la Ciudad de México, empleando un método de ensayo por inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas (ELISA). Se analizaron 50 muestras contra aflatoxinas totales. El 61 % de especias e ingredientes fueron positivas a aflatoxinas totales en concentraciones de 0.07 a 4.24 µg/kg; las mezclas de especias fueron positivas el 75 %, en cantidades de 0.6 a 1.9 µg/kg y los productos cárnicos sólo el 3.5 % fueron positivos a aflatoxinas totales. Las muestras con mayor prevalencia de aflatoxinas totales fueron chile y pimentón. Todos los resultados presentaron concentraciones inferiores al límite máximo establecido por la Unión Europea de 10 a 20 µg/kg para aflatoxinas totales; lo que no constituye un problema de salud pública actual en las condiciones analizadas. Se recomienda el uso del sistema ELISA como método de pesquisaje y posterior confirmación por cromatografía liquida con detección fluorescente, así como contar con un programa de monitoreo para evaluar la presencia de aflatoxinas y otras micotoxinas; además existe la necesidad de una regulación oficial mexicana para micotoxinas en especias considerando el alto consumo de chile en la población mexicana.

Son diversos los puntos críticos que nos interpelan en el quehacer profesional como psicólogos/as frente a las políticas de seguridad de un Estado Policial fuertemente represivo y que tiene a los jóvenes de sectores populares como blanco predilecto en la Provincia de Córdoba. Nos propusimos construir un dispositivo específico de intervención que dio origen al Equipo de Acompañamiento a Familiares de Jóvenes asesinados por la Policía. En este camino de consolidación del dispositivo, resultan relevantes los anclajes conceptuales para pensar la intervención. En este trabajo nos proponemos problematizar tres nociones que insisten ser pensadas: homicidio policial, el concepto de víctima y la cuestión de la impunidad que prevalecen incluso en un estado democrático. Estas categorías operan como ejes que orientan la presente reflexión y buscan dar cuenta del proceso de construcción de nuestros fundamentos tanto ético-políticos como teórico-prácticos. Palabras clave: Violencia estatal, homicidio policial, víctimas, impunidad.

Can Severity of Pulmonary Hypertension Affect Success Rate of Balloon Mitral Commissurotomy?
Authors: Galeshi Bahar , Shojaeifard Maryam , Farrashi Melody , Ganji Hanifeh , Erami Sajad , Ghadrdoost Behshid
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease is responsible for the
most prevalent pathological causes of mitral stenosis and is closely
coupled with pulmonary hypertension. Balloon mitral commissurotomy as an
alternative method for mitral valve replacement leads to a reduction in
pulmonary pressure. All grades of pulmonary hypertension usually regress
after mitral commissurotomy; however, the insignificant changes of
pulmonary artery hypertension following balloon mitral valvuloplasty are
not uncommon. Methods: This retrospective observational study
was carried out on 160 patients with significant symptomatic mitral
stenosis (mitral valve area [MVA] <1.5 cm
) who underwent successful percutaneous transvenous
mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) within 2016-2020 at Shaheed Rajaie
Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran.
Results: In this study, 89.4% of the patients were female, and
the mean age of the participants was 47.2±12.4 years. Most (74%)
patients presented with dyspnea on exertion functional class II. The
mean basic MVA was 1±0.20 cm that increased to
1.43±0.23 cm , and the mean basic systolic pulmonary
artery pressure (PAP) was 43.84±11.93 mmHg that decreased to 35.13±7.7
mmHg. Persistent PAP after successful PTMC was observed in 34% of the
patients. This group of patients showed smaller MVA gain and PAP
reduction after the procedure. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR)
> 2 Wood units was correlated to 91.7% of the
post-procedural success rate. Conclusion: The PTMC plays an
important role in the reduction of PAP; nevertheless, the chronicity and
severity of PAP can lead to persistent pulmonary hypertension. The
assessment of initial PAP and basic PVR can help select patients with
more likely intended results.
Controllability of Semilinear Neutral Differential Equations with Impulses and Nonlocal Conditions
Authors: Camacho Oscar , Leiva Hugo , Riera Lenin
Published: December 2021

When a real-life problem is mathematically modeled by differential
equations or another type of equation, there are always intrinsic
phenomena that are not taken into account and can affect the behavior of
such a model. For example, external forces can abruptly change the
model; impulses and delay can cause a breakdown of it. Considering these
intrinsic phenomena in the mathematical model makes the difference
between a simple differential equation and a differential equation with
impulses, delay, and nonlocal conditions. So, in this work, we consider
a semilinear nonautonomous neutral differential equation under the
influence of impulses, delay, and nonlocal conditions. In this paper we
study the controllability of these semilinear neutral differential
equations with some of these intrinsic phenomena taking into
consideration. Our aim is to prove that the controllability of the
associated ordinary linear differential equation is preserved under
certain conditions imposed on these new disturbances. In order to
achieve our objective, we apply Rothe’s fixed point Theorem to prove the
exact controllability of the system. Finally, our method can be extended
to the evolution equation in Hilbert spaces with applications to control
systems governed by PDE’s equations.

Published: December 2021

Based on the characteristics of mechanical response of coal rock under
loading, an elastic-brittle damage constitutive relation of coal rock has
been proposed, which has been extended to the 3-D stress state, based on the
geological strength index. Besides, a numerical calculation method based on
the elastic-brittle damage the?ory has been developed, by analyzing the
seepage-stress coupling effect. Then, a computing program for fracture
network transformation has been composed to perform numerical simulation of
forming process of coal rock under different working conditions, by the APDL
language in the ANSYS software platform. The mechanical mechanism of
fracture network forming process of coal rock has been further analyzed.

Wind tunnel test of an anti-icing approach by heat pipe for wind turbine bladesunder the rime ice condition
Authors: Li Xiao-Juan , Guo Wen-Feng , Li Yan , Xu Zhi , Feng Fang
Published: December 2021

The icing events for the wind turbine blade is the key problem in the low
temperature conditions. Heating is considered to be the most efficient
approach to prevent from the ice formation on the turbine blade surface.
However, this kind of method consumes a certain amount of energy. In this
present study, an anti-icing method, using the heat pipe technology, is
proposed to prevent from icing on the blade surface, and the anti-icing
energy is from the waste heat generated during the operation of a wind
turbine, which can reduce the assumption of the energy. The researches on
the anti-icing temperature characteristics of the test model, based on the
heat pipe anti-icing method, are carried out in an icing wind tunnel
combining with the low natural temperature. The effects of the wind speed
and heat source temperature on the heat transfer of heat pipes are
investigated. The icing distribution and the temperature change of the
anti-icing process of an airfoil with NACA0018 are explored, and the
variation of the icing thickness of the airfoil with icing time, under the
different heat source temperature conditions, is analyzed. The results
indicate that the blade surface temperature, which is lower than 0?C, is
more beneficial to the heat transfer of the heat pipe, and the ice
prevention, based on the heat transfer of the heat pipe, can achieve a
better anti-icing effect.

Published: December 2021

Exploring the mechanical properties and thermal cracking characteristics of
rock under thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling in detail is of great importance
for the safe excavation and stability of deep rock engineering. The
mechanical properties and thermal cracking characteristics of granite under
burial depths of 1000 m (confining pressure of 25 MPa) and 1600 m (confining
pressure of 40 MPa) at a temperature of 110?C and a pore water pressure of
10 MPa were studied. The results show that the elastic modulus decreases with
increasing temperature under a confining pressure of 25 MPa, whereas under
a confining pressure of 40 MPa, the elastic modulus increases with
increasing temperature. As the pore water pressure increases, the elastic
modulus decreases slightly. Poisson?s ratio increas?es with increasing
temperature below 40?C but decreases from 50-110?C. Pois?son?s ratio
increases as pore water pressure increases. During the heating process,
acoustic emission activity is first detected at 30-40?C and is relatively
stable from 40-90?C. The acoustic emission activity increases sharply at
90-110?C, and the thermal cracking threshold of granite under
thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling is approximately 95?C.

Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used to treat hypertension, but severe refractory hypotension during general anesthesia is a well-known complication associated with the continuation of ARBs during the perioperative period. It has therefore been recommended that ARBs be withheld for 24 hours before induction of general anesthesia. However, impaired renal function affects the pharmacokinetics of each ARB differently. The half-life of azilsartan is prolonged in accordance with the degree of renal impairment. Herein, we describe a patient with chronic kidney disease grade 3B who experienced severe refractory hypotension after induction of general anesthesia requiring administration of dopamine following inadequate responses to ephedrine and phenylephrine despite a 24-hour azilsartan washout period. When the same patient underwent general anesthesia for a subsequent surgery, azilsartan was withheld for 48 hours before induction, resulting in mild intraoperative hypotension that responded adequately to phenylephrine. Severe refractory hypotension during general anesthesia cannot always be avoided by holding azilsartan for 24 hours in patients with significant renal impairment. Therefore, a longer washout period may be preferable for patients regularly taking azilsartan who also have concurrent substantial renal impairment.

Published: December 2021

This article aims to find out the policy formulation of reducing the bureaucratic structure in Indonesia and the impact that occurs as its result. This article is a literature research using literature review as a primary legal source supported by secondary data which is the result of implementing regulations in the field. The results of the study indicate that the formulation of the policy of  reducing the bureaucratic structure in Indonesia is to eliminate echelon III to echelon V. The main purpose of this cut is to streamline government services through government employees (civil servants). As the impact, organizationally, this cut is not ideal because it is carried out in parallel with the preparation of SOTK. In terms of human resource management, this cut has an impact on the transfer of administrative officials to functional positions that are more competency-based or expertise-based.

The article focuses on the problem of adopting the effective methods for combined cultivation of food products in cities, which requires the rapidly deployable and scalable aquaponic urban farms for year-round cultivating the aquaculture and crop products. Experimental work on cultivating the agricultural products in a small-sized system of combined recirculating fish farming and intensive crop production (aquaponics) has been carried out. A well-grounded idea of the qualitative and quantitative requirements for feed formulations, the possibilities of their optimization due to including the ingredients of natural origin was obtained. With combined recirculating fish farming and intensive crop production the control over the physiological state of the aquatic organisms grown on feed on their own formulation is carried out on the analysis of special biochemical parameters, which complement the general characteristics of the limits of reference values of homeostasis constants and determine the physiological status of fish. Feeding rates (% of body weight) of fish determine the amount of organic load for nutrition of plant growing objects, in particular leafy greens. In the course of research it was found out that when feeding sterlet (100 g) with the developed feed with protein content 45% the feeding rate is 4% of the body weight. The equivalent area 1 m2 with leafy greenery accounts for 40–50 g of feed with a mass of water bodies up to 5.0 kg/m3.

The reservoirs of the K. Satpayev canal are the important fishery water bodies in the Central Kazakhstan. Some of these reservoirs are inhabited by tench, a fish species relatively widely represented in other water systems of the region. In the reservoirs of the canal this species is not the main commercial one but it has a fairly high commercial value due to its popularity with consumers. As part of the research, the growth indicators of Tinca tinca from

4 reservoirs were evaluated, and the data on its growth from 3 more reservoirs were also provided. These samples differ in efficiency and growth rates. It has been found that there is no sexual or generation variability. Growth rates in successive fish generations strongly correlate with each other, which may indirectly indicate the stability of living conditions. The R. Lee’s phenomenon was not marked. In this regard, the calculation of variables of the von Bertalanffy growth equation was carried out without additional data processing. The highest rates of linear growth were characteristic of Tinca tinca from the reservoir of HS No. 9. However, the effectiveness of its growth scheme was the lowest. Population with a longer age range from the reservoir HS No. 3 did not have high linear growth rates, but its growth efficiency was higher. In this case, it is obvious that any assessment of growth will be relative and depend on the goals set for it. In the reservoirs of the canal there are more or less similar conditions for tench populations living due to the specifics of its functioning. The main limiting factor for the growth rate, in our opinion, will be abundance of the species in the reservoir and related trophic factors with a certain influence of withdrawal (fishing, predators).
Situational-scenario approach to formation costs of production and technological activities of fishing vessels on voyage
Authors: Lisienko Svetlana
Published: December 2021

Increasing the efficiency of tapping the aquatic biological resources by fishing vessels directly depends on the improvement of production and technological activities in the unpredictable field conditions. Like any production process, the production and technological activity of fishing vessels is associated with the occurrence of costs at all stages (phases) of the production process, the aggregate and structure of which depends on the fishing technological system of the fishing vessel. The stages of the production process form the main material flow, ensuring its end-to-end promotion. Its efficiency significantly affects the costs and management of field resources and should be achieved by minimizing material losses, primarily in the process of extracting raw materials. For this, it is necessary to study the field conditions in which the production and technological process takes place within the framework of the production vessel, determine their structure, variability, analyze the structure and composition of production costs at all phases of the production and technological process, develop a situational and scenario approach to the formation of production and technological activities of fishing vessels on a fishing trip. The costs arising in all subsystems (phases) and operating on a constant basis throughout the entire fishing period are proposed to be divided into several types of costs. Their interrelated and interdependent influence can give both a general determinism to the production process and increase its imbalance, increasing the total fishing costs of a producing vessel due to the emergence of additional costs associated with an unstable fishing situation in the fishing area. In this regard, the production activity on the fishing vessel is carried out according to the formed fishing and technological scenarios. The developed block diagram of the totality of fishing costs during the movement of the main material flow through the phases of the fishing and technological system of a fishing vessel gives a complete picture of the total fishing costs of a fishing vessel when it simultaneously performs the processes of extraction and processing of aquatic biological resources with a situational-scenario approach to their formation.
Rol, estatuto y desafíos del/la intelectual en el campo de la comunicación
Authors: Del Valle Carlos

El objetivo principal es reconocer el rol histórico de la obra, así como su estatus en el campo. Desde este lugar, se examina el rol del/la intelectual, evitando caer en el falso dilema de «lo científico y lo académico» versus «lo político y lo ideológico», para lo cual se retoma una controversia generada tras la publicación de esta obra, a inicios de los años setenta.
Para leer «Para leer al Pato Donald»
Authors: Badenes Daniel , Alfonso Alfredo
Published: December 2021

Para leer al Pato Donald, la obra con mayor difusión del campo de la comunicación en América Latina, no puede ser leída escindida de su contexto. Este artículo propone leerla en esa clave: en el marco del debate del proyecto político-cultural de la Unidad Popular, en un tiempo histórico caracterizado por la radicalización política. Armand Mattelart y Ariel Dorfman, como autores, y Para leer el Pato Donald, su texto emblemático, son emergentes de un contexto donde la denuncia del imperialismo y la dependencia acompañaban el proyecto de cambiarlo todo, desde la propiedad de los medios de producción hasta las imágenes de la industria cultural.
The Sociocultural Context in Law: Modernism - Postmodernism - Metamodernism
Authors: ZIBOROV Oleg , MEDUSHEVSKAYA Natalja , SIGALOV Konstantin
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the socio-cultural aspects of modern law in terms of philosophical and legal analysis and in the context of the changes that take place in the culture of the 19th-21st centuries. The objec­tive of this work is to identify the discourse of today’s cultural strategies and their reflection in law and legal culture.
The article uses an arsenal of methodological tools of philosophical and legal analysis, a cultural me­thodology through which the values of modern society are revealed, as well as a methodology of historical and philosophical research.
The main result of the work is to establish that modern law cannot be understood outside and regardless of its contextuality, as well as in accordance with the cultural logic and peculiarities of civilisational deve­lop­ment in the context of globalisation.
The main conclusion of the article is that the emergence of post-postcapitalism and the deepening of the consumer society result in a crisis of law and its excessive bureaucratisation and formalisation. The emerging cultural logic of metamodernism refers to such concepts as “structure of feeling”, “oscillation”, “communication”, “post-truth”, “totality” in order to restore the subject-orientation of law and give anthro­pological substance to the traditional concepts of “human dignity”, “freedom” and “justice”.
