Authors: O’Connor Meredith , Chong Shiau , Hutchinson Delyse , Sanson Ann , McIntosh Jennifer , Olsson Craig A. , Goldfeld Sharon
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVES:

A comprehensive understanding of how timing of exposure to disadvantage affects long-term developmental risk is needed for greater precision in child health policy. We investigated whether socioeconomic disadvantage in infancy (age 0–1 years) directly affects academic and self-regulation problems in late childhood (age 10–12 years), independent of disadvantage at school entry (age 4–6 years).

METHODS:

Analyses were replicated in 2 population-based cohorts: the Australian Temperament Project (ATP; N = 2443) and the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC; N = 5107). Generalized linear models were used to estimate the crude and adjusted effects. Marginal structural models were used to estimate the controlled direct effect of socioeconomic disadvantage in infancy on academic and self-regulation outcomes in late childhood, independent of disadvantage at school entry.

RESULTS:

In both cohorts, socioeconomic disadvantage in infancy and at school entry was associated with poorer academic and self-regulation outcomes. Socioeconomic disadvantage in infancy had a direct effect on academic outcomes not mediated by disadvantage at school entry (ATP: risk ratio [RR] = 1.42; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09–1.86; LSAC: RR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.52–2.31). Little evidence was found for a direct effect of disadvantage in infancy on self-regulation (ATP: RR = 1.22; 95% CI: 0.89–1.65; LSAC: RR = 1.19; 95% CI: 0.95–1.49).

CONCLUSIONS:

Socioeconomic disadvantage in infancy had a direct effect on academic but not self-regulation outcomes in late childhood. More precise public policy responses are needed that consider both the timing of children’s exposure to disadvantage and the specific developmental domain impacted.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) presented prominence among the tropical fruit.  Guava exports are still unimpressive, because of the quarantine pests, among them the fruit flies.  The present research had as objective to evaluate the population fluctuation of fruit flies Anastrepha spp. and the fruits infestation caused in guava accesses cultivated in organic system, and study the possible correlations between this pest and meteorological factors.  To estimate population fluctuation, 20 yellow sticky traps were used.  The reviews were initiated in April 2013, for 378 days.  The traps were kept in the field for the entire duration of the experiment, and they were reviewed every 14 days in most cases, during replacement of traps for new ones.  With the data, simple correlations were calculated between the fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha spp., the temperature, and precipitation.  Nine fruits per accession, at the stage of maturation, were taken to the laboratory and evaluated for fruit fly infestation by the longitudinal cutting of fruit. The averages were compared by the Scott-Knott test at 5% probability.  The genus Anastrepha was found in greater quantity, and there is no correlation between the meteorological factors and population fluctuation of Anastrepha.  Also was found some individuals of the species Ceratitis capitata.  Most of the fruits of the evaluated accesses presented high infestations by fruit flies.  Accesses IAC – 4 – Cica noteworthy for not presenting any infested fruit, without differing from accesses Taquaritinga Comum, both red.  The accesses Torrão de Ouro, Supreme BA, L2P4, and Supreme, also showed low numbers of fruit attacked.

The Araripe Plateau attracts an intense anthropic activity that results in the degradation and risk of extinction of native medicinal species such as Vanillosmopsis arborea Baker (candeeiro). The objective of this work was to test the main propagation methods of this species and to evaluate the survival of the seedlings in different environments. With this, two experiments were installed in the headquarters house of IBAMA[1] located in the Araripe National Forest (FLONA), Crato, State of Ceará. The potential of seedling production and stem and root cutting were evaluated, as well as the adaptation of the seedlings to the two environments (experimental area and their natural habitat). The experiments were distributed in a completely randomized design. The number of live cuttings with callus, number of rooted cuttings, weight of fresh and dry matter of roots, leaf persistence, height and survival of the seedlings were also evaluated. More seeds emerged in an open air environment. The cutting type did not affect the analyzed variables. The substrates only affected the number of rooted cuttings, and the soil from FLONA provided the best result. The seedlings developed better in experimental area, indicating that the candeeiro can be explored rationally.

Ivan the Terrible: Reform and Reaction
Authors: Graham Hugh
Published: April 2019

Introduction. Hugh F. Graham (1925–1994) was a famous American historian, Professor at California State College (Bakersfield, USA), specialist in Greek and Latin sources for early Russian history, he also translated a number of R.G. Skrynnikov’s works into English. In this article, devoted to the epoch of Ivan IV the Terrible, H. Graham presented his view on the political processes that took place in the highest strata of the Moscow State that constituted the closest circle of Ivan IV the Terrible and that could influence the internal reforms and foreign policy in the state.

Materials. The study is based on the works of Russian and foreign historians, which allowed the author of the article to show controversial issues and prepare the article using the problem approach (their names and titles of the works are specified in references). In addition, H. Graham drew attention to the data from the following published sources: the works of I. Peresvetov, Protestant pastor in Lithuania Pavel Oderborn, and others.

Analysis. In this article, the author consistently outlined the events of the reign of Ivan IV: he paid attention to the reforms of the Elected Rada, the oprichnina, and the postoprichnina period. H. Graham noted that along with the active study of the oprichnina period by historians, the issue of functioning was missed, while Zemstvo acted in accordance with the former administrative and institutional norms, continued to function under the traditional aristocratic leadership of the princes I.F. Mstislavskii and I.D. Belskii, whom Ivan IV, in fact, called co-rulers, proclaiming: “We three hold all the power”. H. Graham did not agree with the view of the oprichnina as a struggle with the aristocratic circles. The historian saw the following paradox: almost all the victims were leading figures in the new world, and not advocates of the old order. They were responsible for developing management tools and served in key institutions, participating in the centralization process promotion. They helped the tsar to acquire more authoritarian power he so longed for.

Results. It is the contention of this paper that the reign of Ivan the Terrible was not atypical, but simply a continuation in its own way of the regular path of development the Muscovite monarchy had long been following. However, a man still able to provoke such wildly disparate assessments of his character and accomplishments will continue to fascinate psychologists, bellettrists, historians, and popularizers alike. They will keep returning to him and hope that someone someday will at last manage to capture the elusive essence of the era and of the man himself in such a way as to win general acceptance.

Tsar Mikhail Romanov: His Entry into Power
Authors: Pavlov Andrej
Published: April 2019

Introduction. As historical literature shows, the election of Tsar Mikhail Romanov at the Zemsky Sobor of 1613 occurred without broad support of boyars and nobles. The Cossacks played a decisive role in his election. This article is devoted to considering the issue of how Tsar Mikhail was able to establish himself in power.

Methods and materials. The article is based on the use and comprehensive analysis of the sources, which show the process of approval of Tsar Mikhail Romanov in power. The article uses narrative and documentary sources, including new archival materials. The article contains a critical comparison of official and unofficial sources. The author of the article uses the principles of historicism and system analysis. The article considers the events of 1613 in their development and interrelations, and provides a comprehensive analysis of various political and socio-economic phenomena that contributed to Tsar Mikhail’s power strengthening. The article uses the methods of genealogical research and textual analysis of sources.

Analysis. On March 14, 1613, Tsar Mikhail, after much persuasion, agreed to accept the throne in Kostroma, but he didn’t hurry to move to Moscow. He arrived in Moscow only on May 2, 1613. It was necessary to strengthen the authority of the royal power, to establish relations with social classes and, above all, with the ruling elite. The author of the article shows that Tsar Mikhail and his entourage coped very successfully with these problems during the march from Kostroma to Moscow. The control over the government, the initiative of operational assignments and solutions of land affairs gradually concentrated in the hands of the tsar. The author shows that Mikhail entered Moscow as an absolute sovereign and that there is no reason to talk about restricting his power in favor of the Boyar Duma and the Zemsky Sobor. During 1613-1618 the composition of the Duma and court ranks was intensively replenished by the Romanovs.

Results. The author comes to the conclusion that during the first years of Mikhail Fedorovich’s reign the position of the House of Romanov in the state was significantly strengthened.
Polish Notes on Moscow Documents of the Time of Troubles: Historical and Linguistic Analysis
Authors: Eilbart Natalia
Published: April 2019

Introduction. The article analyzes Polish markings made on documents of Moscow origin during the Time of Troubles.

Materials. For analysis we took documents stored in the archives of St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences (petitions of nobles, merchants and peasants to Moscow princes, King Sigismund III and Prince Vladislav), as well as documents from the Smolensk archive, which are located in the State Archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet). Two categories of documents stand out: petitions of Moscow nobles addressed to King Sigismund III and Prince Vladislav, as well as other documents that fell into the hands of the Poles after the fall of Smolensk in 1611. We included in the last category the documents of Smolensk Provincial Prikaz and the personal archive of voevoda M.B. Shein as well. After a long stay in the territory of the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth, a part of The Smolensk Archive came to Sweden during the Polish-Swedish war (the “Flood”), a part settled in the continental Europe, later re-entered the territory of Russia due to the activities of the Archaeographic Commission.

Methods. We used the methods of comparative linguistic analysis, the method of comparison, the system method, as well as the narrative and historical-genetic methods.

Results. Polish inscriptions on documents of Moscow origin testify to the great influence of the Russian language on Polish and the appearance of numerous Russisms in the Polish language.

Published: April 2019

The author considers the features of the organization of works and construction materials used in the construction of buildings and structures in extreme climatic conditions. Also, the features of the influence of climatic conditions on the quality and basic properties of building materials, construction technology, etc. the High level of complexity of the organization of construction works, in particular, in the Arctic, caused by the aggressive environment, temperature changes (especially low in winter), land work is complicated by permafrost. This especially affects deep foundations, pipes, basement panels, piles. The author notes that the destruction of such objects is affected by the saturation of their ground water with its circulation from the bottom up. Also has a destructive effect and hydrostatic pressure, sea, river and lake water, next to which the construction site is being built.

The author comes to the conclusion that the construction of buildings and structures, taking into account the construction area, which is characterized by certain meteorological and climatic conditions, has certain features, respectively, to increase the efficiency of construction in extreme climatic conditions-is a complex multi-faceted task of the organization and technology of construction production, designed to improve the quality of construction, reduce the timing of its implementation, labor and cost of work.

The task of the comparative evaluation of the safety lighting poles installed around the road under the action hit them the car. Notes that studies on the calculation and modeling lighting poles when exposed to shock loads due to vehicle collisions is very small.

The situation of a conditional vehicle exit (LADAPRIORASEDAN) from the carriageway to the roadside is followed up, followed by a collision with a metal or reinforced concrete support for external electric lighting. Vehicle speed is 60 km/h and the calculation is performed by finite element method. Diagram shows the compressive forces, bending moments, shear forces, displacements.

The analysis found that by hitting the conditioned car to support the outer electrical lighting in a bearing of reinforced concrete arise effort close to being admitted that for small deviations from design parameters (e.g., speed limit is exceeded, possible defects and injuries of lighting columns) can lead to the collapse construction, including the possible fall of its vehicle.

Consequently, the support of the metal outer lighting when hit by the vehicle conditional security parameters and external lighting strength of reinforced concrete is preferred support.

Published: April 2019

The article is devoted to the statistical processing of traffic intensity and composition of traffic flow obtained from the points of automated traffic intensity accounting for 2010-2018 in order to determine the distribution of the number of applications of the calculated load by months. The main source of information for statistical processing was the results of traffic accounting on highways M-1 «Belarus», a-107 MMK Mozhaisk-Volokolamsk highway, M-3 «Ukraine», M-4 «don», M-4 «don». The correct determination of the traffic intensity and composition of the traffic flow is an important task that allows you to make adequate decisions at the design stage of roads, namely to choose a road structure that can operate under load from the actual traffic flow for the entire service life. The authors calculated the total number of applications of the calculated load to the point on the surface of the coating, using the coefficients of reduction of vehicles to the calculated load of 115 kN. After calculating the total number of applications, the resulting value was divided by the number of days in the month in question. According to the data obtained, the total total number of applications of the calculated load at all points of accounting, by month, was found. The minimum values of the number of load applications are observed in winter (January, February, March), when the situation on the road deteriorates due to weather conditions. The values range from 4.75 % to 8 % for roads M-1 «Belarus», M-3 «Ukraine», M-4 «Don», M-4 «Don». The maximum values of the number of load applications observed in the warmer months (July, August, September, October), due to the fact that there are favorable weather conditions for recreation and the most active agricultural industry. The values range from 7.6 % to 11.3 % for the roads M-1 «Belarus», M-3 «Ukraine», M-4 «Don», M-4 «Don».

Published: April 2019

Road constructions are most relevant. This article provides data on the improvement of the properties of road construction materials, including those added to the soil: stabilized soil and adhesive asphalt concrete. Because of the impact of the above-mentioned additives, the accumulation of residual deformations in the structural layers of road products are reduced.

The analysis of the market of the Russian Federation, which resulted in the identification of the following most preferred options for additives for research: ANT for soil stabilization and Amdor-10 and DAD-1 mark C for asphalt concrete. For asphalt concrete, several additivies were considered, since this is the most important structural layer in road pavement, perceiving the load from passing vehicles.

This article provides comparative tables and graphs, which provide data on changes in the physic-mechanical properties of materials (soils and asphalt concrete) as a result of the application of the above additives. All tests were performed in accordance with the current regulatory documentation, and all the necessary requirements for the test materials were met.

Were also obtained materials for testing. With the help of this device the possibility of resisting the accumulation of residual deformations is estimated. There is an imitation of situations in which materials are in real road.

As a result, data were obtained that the use of stabilizing additives for soil and adhesive fabric reduces the accumulation of residual deformations and, as a result, increases the turnaround time between repairs.

Published: April 2019

This paper considers issues related to the establishment of the presence and types of causal connections among events, actions, phenomena and processes investigated based on technical forensic construction expertise during the building of judicial cases. The authors, practising forensic experts, disclose the common principles that allow for the development of universal approaches to establishing the causes of accidents in construction; determining the causes of the initiation and progression of destructive processes in the bearing and enclosing structures of raised and operated buildings, structures and constructions; and establishing conditions and circumstances for the given mode of operation failure of engineering maintenance systems of apartment houses, offices and industrial premises. Consistently, the paper presents and gives examples from practice of such causal relationships as ‘immediate’ and ‘direct’; the concept of ‘sufficiency of conditions’ is revealed with respect to the negative consequences that have occurred with the alternative possibility of their occurrence due to the influence of other factors; and the value of the relationship in time of certain actions and a specific event is determined.

THE EXISTENCE OF PEDESTRIAN IN JAKARTA
Authors: Mardiana Riskha , Surasetja R. Irawan , Busono Rr. Tjahyani , Ardiansyah Adi
Published: April 2019

Pedestrian is part of urban elements that have a significant role in forming a city. In the pedestrian, social interactions will be created which further strengthen relations between elements in the city. Cities in Europe are the best examples of city pedestrian planning. There walking is more comfortable and enjoyable, with the city being created by the streetscape and the humanist city order. Whereas in cities in developing countries like Jakarta, the city planning has not accommodated pedestrians at all.               The design of the city of Jakarta which is not humanist seems to urge pedestrians and force everyone to ride a car. The pedestrian paths provided are always side by side with the road and the volume is insufficient for those who pass it.               It can be concluded that the existing pedestrian conditions are unsafe and very uncomfortable. Examples of such cases can be seen along Jalan Sudirman and M.H. Thamrin which has always been the icon of the Jakarta office area. Where along these linear and continuous paths, pedestrians are forced to walk unprotected and face the pollution produced by vehicles. The lack of good pedestrian planning in this area has resulted in pedestrians preferring to use vehicles. Finally, each person is increasingly individualistic because there is no social interaction and the realization of a city that is not humanist too.

Stimulation of the vagal nerve is an effective treatment option in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Objective: to analyze the efficacy and safety of the Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) procedure in patients suffering from pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Materials and Methods: The study included 13 patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy, aged 5 to 38 years. Results: among these patients, 25% reported a decrease in the number of epileptic seizures within one-month time after the first session of VNS. The efficacy of the treatment improved with a prolonged use of the VNS-therapy. Despite the long duration of the current pharmacoresistant form of epilepsy in most patients, a decrease in the severity of epileptic seizures and post-seizure disorientation was noted. Side effects of VNS-therapy were recorded in 38.5% of patients; in those, a correction of VNS parameters was performed. This approach allowed us to maintain the effective VNS-therapy and correct the arising side effects. Conclusion: vagal stimulation is an effective non-pharmacological option in patients with pharmacoresistant therapy who have contraindications for surgical treatment. The VNS-therapy reduces the occurrence rate of epileptic seizures by >50% in 20-50% of patients. The VNS therapy has a good long-term efficacy in patients of any age. Stimulation of the vagal nerve is usually well tolerated.
Silenciamentos de lutas em Moçambique: os jornais O Africano / Brado Africano como espaços de reivindicação de cidadania
Authors: Meneses Maria Paula
Published: April 2019

Resumo: Este artigo propõe a realização de um estudo das heranças coloniais no Moçambique contemporâneo. Assente na leitura crítica de diversos arquivos culturais, o artigo procura, através de uma análise da literatura política colonial portuguesa sobre Moçambique, combinada com artigos de jornais editados na capital desta colónia no início do século XX, oferecer uma compreensão mais complexa dos encontros gerados pelo moderno colonialismo português. Esta leitura aponta pistas para uma análise mais complexa dos sentidos conceptuais de cidadania, raça, e resistência em espaço urbano, em ações políticas específicas. Em paralelo, este enfoque contribui para uma leitura mais aprofundada sobre os sentidos de ser, num contexto específico, Lourenço Marques colonial. Este enfoque sobre o espaço urbano de uma cidade colonial é particularmente interessante para uma leitura sobre o persistente silenciamento de resistências políticas que contribuíram para o fomentar de um sentimento nacional, lutas ainda ausentes do projeto nacional atual em Moçambique.Palavras-chave: Moçambique; colonialismo; nacionalismo; lutas pela cidadania; jornalismo.Abstract: This article aims to shed light on the colonial legacies existent in contemporary Mozambique. Based on the analysis of the Portuguese colonial political literature on Mozambique, and of newspaper articles published in the capital of this colony at the beginning of the 20th century, this article offers a more complex understanding of the cultural imprints generated by modern Portuguese colonialism. This study contributes towards a more complex analysis of the meanings of concepts such as citizenship, race, and resistance in urban context, in specific political actions. In parallel with it, this approach seeks to contribute to a more in-depth reading of the meanings of being in a specific urban context, colonial Lourenço Marques. This focus on the urban space in a colonial city is particularly interesting for a discussion on the persistent silencing of political resistance that contributed to sowing the seeds of nationalism, struggles still absent in the present nationalist project in Mozambique.Keywords: Mozambique; colonialism; nationalism; struggles for citizenship; journalism.
Marquês de Sade: crime, destruição e excesso
Authors: Vieira Cátia
Published: April 2019

Resumo: O presente artigo tem como objetivo primordial investigar a ligação entre o erotismo e a morte, que abrange questões como o crime, a destruição e o excesso, na obra sadiana. Marquês de Sade, senhor dos sádicos, estabeleceu a vida como um mero meio para a obtenção do prazer máximo. E esse prazer, segundo o autor francês, apenas se faz sentir de forma apoteótica quando destrói a vida. Assim, gozar é sinónimo de ver destruir, de abraçar e de satisfazer a morte. Além de destruir, torna-se imprescindível violar, violentar e matar sem freios, sem imposições morais. Para a elaboração deste estudo, recorreu-se não só à produção literária de Marquês de Sade, mas também a textos teórico-críticos, que focam as noções de erotismo, morte e sadismo.Palavras-Chave: Marquês de Sade; sadismo; crime; destruição; excesso.Abstract: This article studies the possible relations between eroticism and death, which covers issues such as crime, destruction and excess, in the Sadeian work. Marquis de Sade, master of the sadists, envisioned life as a mere mean for obtaining pleasure. And this pleasure, according to the French author, is only felt when life is destroyed. Thus, to enjoy is to destroy, to embrace and to serve death. Besides destruction, it becomes imperative to violate, rape and kill without limits, without moral impositions. Not only the literary production of Marquis de Sade proved to be paramount to this research, but also the theoretical texts which focus on eroticism, death and sadism.Keywords: Marquis de Sade; sadism; crime; destruction; excess.

Resumo: O presente artigo propõe uma análise do conto “Thonon-les-Bains”, extraído da coletânea Ilhéu de Pássaros (1983), de Orlanda Amarílis, escritora cabo-verdiana. No conto em estudo, a violência onipresente se manifesta em múltiplas facetas. A reflexão aqui empreendida busca compreender as estratégias de encenação da violência utilizadas por Amarílis, dedicando uma atenção mais específica à violência perpetrada contra a personagem Piedade, protagonista da história. A análise desenvolvida é fundamentada em textos da crítica literária, recorrendo ainda ao suporte de outros campos do saber: Antropologia, Sociologia e Psicanálise.

Background: This study assessed contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and use among women of reproductive age in Abu Dhabi Island.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in primary healthcare centers Al Bateen and Al Rawda in Abu Dhabi Island. Participants were women (N = 384; aged 18-54 years) who were married, widowed, divorced, or sexually active. Using a structured questionnaire, we examined their socio-demographic characteristics and their contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and use.Results: A total of 44.8% of the women were aged 30-39 years, 98.4% had university education and above, 56.7% were employed, and 69.4% had an adequate family income. Only 23.7% possessed good knowledge about contraceptive methods (e.g., indications/contraindications, side effects, and benefits). Further, 72.1% had used contraception before, while 48.3% were current users. The most commonly used methods were natural methods (63.6%), followed by condoms (35.6%), oral contraceptive pills (34%), and intrauterine devices (33.7%). Interestingly, only 4.6% held a negative attitude toward contraception, while 53.5% were in favor of using contraceptives. Family income and employment status were significantly related to contraceptive knowledge (P = 0.005 and .013, respectively). Number of children, children’s sex, and years of marriage were significantly related to contraception use (P <0.001, <0.001, and 0.008 respectively).Conclusions: Despite poor knowledge about contraception use, most women held favorable attitudes toward using them. About half the women were current contraception users, with natural methods being the most commonly practiced.

Background: Pregnancy is a major endocrine event in the female lifespan, involving wide-ranged and often dramatic changes in the metabolism of various hormones. Cross sectional, case control, analytical quantitative study was conducted in Sudan, Khartoum state in Yastabsheron obstetric hospital during the period from March to August 2011. Analytical and statistical methods were applied to measure the concentration of A1c% in healthy pregnant women as well as in healthy non-pregnant women to assess the difference in the results.Methods: Blood samples were taken from a total of 90 healthy pregnant women (case group) and 30 healthy non-pregnant women (control group), then samples were analyzed for A1c% by using affinity chromatography technique, and results were recorded in addition to their age, body mass index and the number of pregnancies.Results: showed that, the mean concentration of the A1c% in cases group was (4.407±1.054%) in first trimester, (4.797±0.631) % in second trimester and (4.833±0.626) % in third trimester, and (5.670±0.471%) in control group with a P value of 0.00, indicating the highly significant difference between the two groups. Others finding showed that the mean concentration of A1c% of the first trimester is lower than that of the second and third trimesters, also there was no significant difference between the mean concentration of the second and third trimester. A significant weak positive correlation between A1c% concentration with body mass index and the age of pregnant women.Conclusions: Healthy normal pregnant women have lower A1c% concentrations than non-pregnant women which can be impute to the reduce in plasma glucose values and to the shortened erythrocyte life span that can occur during pregnancy. The body mass index and age affect the concentration of A1c% c, but it is not affected by gravida.
