Maturidade de governança e criação de valor público em instituições públicas de ensino superior: o caso das universidades brasileiras
Authors: Machado Daiane Pias , Quiraque Elcídio Henriques
Published: July 2023

Resumo Este estudo analisa a relação entre o nível de governança e a geração de valor nas universidades federais (UFs) do Brasil para o ano de 2018. O estudo contempla 56 UFs e é caracterizado como descritiva, documental e quantitativa. O alcance do objetivo estabelecido deu-se em três momentos. No primeiro, efetuou-se a mensuração do valor público de cada UFs. A proxy utilizada para mensurar o valor público foi a eficiência, obtida por meio da metodologia Data Envelopment Analysis. No segundo momento apresentou-se os estágios de governança por cada instituição e por fim, no terceiro momento discutiu-se a relação entre a nível de governança e a geração de valor público, pela correlação de Pearson. Foi encontrada uma relação positiva entre a eficiência e o nível de governança. A relação positiva encontrada mostrou a importância de fortalecer os mecanismos de governança pública nas instituições de ensino superior, reforçando seu compromisso com a produção de conhecimento e com a qualidade de suas ações, legitimando seu papel na sociedade. O presente estudo inova entre as publicações da literatura por ser a primeira investigação que visa analisar e confirmar a relação entre os dois construtos: nível de governança e valor público, essenciais para a gestão das instituições públicas, principalmente em um ambiente de austeridade fiscal. Espera-se que o estudo apoie os gestores das UFs a entenderem a relação da eficiência na aplicação de recursos públicos e os níveis de governança, com vista a maximização do valor da instituição.

Resumo A disponibilidade pública de currículos e dados sobre projetos de pesquisa está oferecendo um novo campo para análise de relações entre pesquisadores e o uso de redes é uma ferramenta adequada para esse fim. No entanto, poucos estudos ainda têm analisado cursos de graduação em Enfermagem que não estão associadas a programas de pós-graduação em Enfermagem. Este estudo avaliou redes de intenção de pesquisa entre professores permanentes de um curso de graduação em Enfermagem de uma instituição brasileira, federal e pública, com base em grupos de pesquisa registrados no Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (conhecido como CNPq) e projetos de pesquisa registrados na Plataforma Lattes. Os grupos de pesquisa e currículos de todos os professores (ativos ou aposentados) foram acessados e avaliado como esses professores interagem por diferentes redes de interação, de acordo com a intenção da pesquisa, baseada em diferentes relações como as entre professores, áreas e instituições. Observou-se redes não estruturadas, com atores sem conexão, presença de vínculos "negligenciados" e possíveis registros inativos relacionados à formação acadêmica. As nuvens de palavras também mostraram que as palavras usadas na maioria das vezes são pouco informativas sobre as temáticas de pesquisa. O uso de redes foi eficaz na interpretação das interações relacionadas à intenção de pesquisa quando aplicada a um curso de graduação, destacando muitos padrões de comportamento do grupo e se apresentou como uma ferramenta eficaz para planejar e compreender as intenções de pesquisa em uma unidade de ensino.

Abstract Trachemys dorbigni is the most abundant freshwater turtle species in Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Chelonians are known to host a wide variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, hemoparasites and helminths. Among these, nine genera of polystomatid flatworms (Monogenoidea; Polystomatidae) infect freshwater turtles: Apaloneotrema, Aussietrema, Fornixtrema, Manotrema, Pleurodirotrema, Polystomoidella, Polystomoides, Uropolystomoides and Uteropolystomoides. However, little is known about the biology of these parasites in the Neotropical Realm. Through investigative cystoscopy, specimens of Polystomatidae were located inside the urinary bladder of the host T. dorbigni. Retrieved specimens were fixed and stained whole mounts prepared for taxonomic identification. In the present paper, a new species of Polystomoides (Monogenoidea: Polystomatidae) parasitizing the urinary bladder of a freshwater turtle of the species T. dorbigni in Brazil is described. Polystomoides santamariensis n. sp. differs from the congeneric species on the length of the genital spines, which are longer. Given the enormous diversity of freshwater turtles around the world, it is likely that a large number of chelonian polystomatids are still unknown.

Published: July 2023

A pegada de carbono (PC) surgiu com o intuito de administrar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) e é uma das várias formas de se medir seus impactos. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a pegada de carbono no setor agrícola da soja e milho em Mato Grosso. A estimativa foi calculada levando em consideração as pegadas de carbono individuais do uso de fertilizante, eletricidade para irrigação, das emissões de N2O e advindas do uso de agrotóxicos. A estimativa foi feita para o período de 2004 a 2022. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se no trabalho de cheng et al. (2011). Ao analisar os resultados da Pegada de Carbono anual, percebe-se uma redução de valores em intensidade de carbono por quantidade produzida para 0,21980 em hectares. Ao comparar os resultados obtidos por Cheng et al. (2011), a intensidade em produção média para o período de 1993 a 2007 foi de 0,110 tonC/ton enquanto que a média no estado de Mato Grosso para a cultura da soja, no período entre 2004 a 2022, foi de 0,21980 tonC/ton. Ao considerar a cultura do milho, os resultados de intensidade de carbono por quantidade produzida foram ainda menores se comparados aos da soja, 0,08224 tonC/ton., o que demonstra que a rotação de culturas é demasiado importante ao medir a pegada de carbono no setor agrícola.
Multiphysics analysis of tramway geotechnical infrastructure: numerical modelling
Authors: Yalaoui Nadia , Trouzine Habib , Meghachou Mourad , Abbès Boussad , Aissa Mamoune Sidi Mohammed
Published: July 2023

Under realistic field conditions, geotechnical infrastructures are usually influenced by complex interactions of mechanical behaviour under the action of an internal water flow. This mechanism could be the main origin of damage to embankments. This study develops a new hydro-mechanical (HM) approach based on Darcy's law model and Biot's poroelastic concept to investigate the behaviour of soil with and without geotextile under realistic conditions. The problem's numerical solution is carried out using a finite-element method. The proposed two-dimensional model was implemented in Comsol Multiphysics Software. Under coupled HM behaviour, the stress in porous materials causes a volumetric change in strain, which causes fluid diffusion. Consequently, pore pressure dissipates through the pores. To discuss the advantages of coupled HM modelling and evaluate the geotextile performance, volumetric strain, pore-water pressure, storage and displacement are compared for a mechanical, hydraulic and HM model. These analyses were undertaken in connection with a tramway embankment project in a marshy area in Sidi Bel Abbes. The simulation results show better results for geotextile and embankment in HM coupled modelling.

Abstract: To improve engineering education quality of student, project is a major concern. Project experience provides a major pathway for student’s career either for their professional career or upgrading the qualification through Post Graduation or Ph.D. in Engineering. Being a very practical field, it requires experience and exposure to the real world to be expertise and successful in a certain domain. Project work integrates hands-on experiences with education which facilitate them while they are on their job desk and are being appreciated for their updated knowledge. Quality projects require effective project management. It is observed that there is very less studies done on the project management skills required for the engineering graduates. This will assist the students to learn and adequately apply their knowledge in their future project work which will help them to convey a superior focused on and more significant projects. To strengthen student project development, there is a need to incorporate innovative practices through set of program specific research activities with defined strategies. Also program specific research activities will attain higher values for program outcome. Keywords: Quality Academic Project Development, Program Specific Research Activities, Program Outcome

The article discusses the analysis and synthesis of a system of highly dynamic "dead time" compensation in the current loop of motors powered from transistor pulse-width converters. The first part of the paper provides a brief analysis of existing technical solutions, whose algorithms do not imply changes or additions to the power part of the drive and therefore are implemented exclusively by software. It is shown that the most modern methods of adaptive compensation can be considered using reference models of the control object. A non-search adaptive dead-time compensation system is proposed in the paper which provides signal self-tuning in the motor current loop, and dead-time compensation is based not on linearization or correction of nonlinear effects and delays of a pulse-width converter, but on parrying disturbing influences caused by the negative effects of “dead time”. Particular attention is paid to the practical orientation of the proposed solution; therefore, the considered algorithm is based solely on the basic principles of the control theory proven by practice. This approach allows us to ensure not only the transparency of the theoretical arguments presented in the article, but also reduce the time spent on the analysis and synthesis of the current loop, the purpose of which, ultimately, is the optimization of high-precision drives. With the absence of iteration methods of mathematics, the resources of microprocessor control units are minimized, which makes this method even more attractive in low-budget drives that do not claim to "exclusivity of integrated circuitry. The proposed algorithm was integrated into the existing current loop of an asynchronous electric drive with vector control, which proved the high efficiency of static and dynamic compensation of not only the “dead time” of the converter, but also of the non-linear effects associated with it that are difficult to analyze. The adaptive "dead time" compensation increased the efficiency of the electric drive at low motor speeds, compared to voltage boost compensation, by approximately four percent, and also reduced the motor torque ripple by about seventeen percent. An oscillogram of the phase current of a real drive with "dead time" compensation is given according to the principle of parametric voltage addition, which is the most common in practice, as well as a waveform of current with adaptive compensation action according to the principle considered in this article.

This study is aimed at studying the physical mechanisms of deformation and fracture in the region of the boundary between amorphous and crystalline alloys at low temperatures. Experimental studies were carried out on composite samples with the solder PОСК 50-18 at different temperatures (152 К, 219 К and 293 K). The results showed that when the temperature decreases, the strength and ductility of the material decrease, which can lead to the formation of defects and cracks. Composite samples with the solder PОСК 50-18 behave quite stably at low temperatures, but still deteriorate their mechanical properties when the temperature drops to 219 К. The results obtained can be used for the development of new materials and technologies for joining amorphous and crystalline alloys for low-temperature applications.

Sosyal düzen vurgusunun ön plana çıktığı, karşılaşılan sosyal sorunlarda aile, dini kuruluşlar ve vakıfların aracı rol üstlendiği muhafazakâr refah rejimi anlayışının, Almanya özelinde dönüşüm gösterdiği görülmektedir. Teorik açıdan bakıldığında bu refah rejimi kapsamında devletin rolleri sınırlı ve az düzeyde müdahalecidir. Devletin temel görevi var olan hiyerarşik düzeni sağlaması ve korumasıdır. Ancak küreselleşme ile başlayan ve günümüze kadar devam eden süreçte gerek toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin değişmesi gerekse demografik değişimler muhafazakâr refah rejimi modelini de dönüşüme zorlamıştır. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışma kapsamında muhafazakâr refah rejimi anlayışının Almanya özelinde yaşadığı değişim ve dönüşümün ele alınması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç paralelinde yapılan değerlendirmeler neticesinde devletin toplumsal anlamda yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümlere uyum sağlama amacıyla; sosyal yardım ve hizmetler, kadın istihdamına yönelik işgücü piyasalarına müdahale ve emeklilik üzerinden yapmış olduğu düzenlemeler ile sorumluluğunu artırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Tilapia jipe (Oreochromis jipe) is listed as a critically endangered Cichlidae endemic to fast-shrinking Lake Jipe. Climate change and anthropogenic activities have significantly impacted the lakes’ ecology and species’ genetic integrity. Four months of Jipe tilapia culture growth performance was conducted in four selected farms within the Chala area, Taveta Sub-County of Taita Taveta County along the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro’s Kenya side. The study assessed the growth performance of 3rd generation mixed-sex Oreochromis jipe under aquaculture conditions. Fish sampling was done monthly to assess the growth performance of fingerlings stocked at an average weight of 5 ± 0.02 g and a stocking density of 5/m3. Total weight ranged between 123.72 g, and 74.70 g from the entire growth trial sample population. The highest and the least mean weight gains recorded were 108.87 ± 4.31g and 87.12 ± 4.40g for Farm B and D respectively. Similarly, farm B recorded the highest mean length (18.80 ± 0.27) while farm C recorded the least (17.31 ± 0.25) with no significant difference between the selected farms. Water quality parameters were within the normally acceptable tilapia culture ranges. The study findings indicated a negative allometric growth (b < 3) for all farms except Farm A. All growth trials demonstrated a good Condition factor (K) with a range of 1.82 to 2.19. The present study concluded that O. jipe has the potential for aquaculture and species genetic conservation and restocking due to its ease of propagation. The study recommends further G x E breeding program strategies, nutritional and general management studies, and a policy limiting genetic material transfer from its catchment.

The UTEC-UNED-TECSUP University Consortium took part in the eighth edition of the Support programme for the design and implementation of strategies for continuity of the Higher Education service in public universities of the Peruvian Ministry of Education (PMESUT), devised to promote the continuity of non-classroom-based educational service in public universities. This article presents the assessment carried out in four universities, with the aim of ensuring the ongoing digitization of education in the aftermath of the pandemic. Once the diagnosis had been made, the techno-pedagogical virtualization of 138 model courses was carried out in three phases: planning; curriculum design and teaching support; and implementation of the courses in the virtual classroom. Limitations were related to existing digital divides: time constraints, personal self-regulation and limited training in pedagogical and digital competences of teachers. Individualised support and tutoring measures were sought, increasing the number of synchronous sessions to facilitate assessment. The feedback focused on information, interaction and accountability on what has been done and the improvement of the didactic act in virtual mode. In conclusion, the complexity of the process was notable, as well as the high level of demand to achieve results which, although positive, encountered several obstacles arising from the different agents and elements involved.
The implementation of Reading to Learn for the Southern Thailand pre-service teachers
Authors: Mamac Monaliza Hernandez , Bangga Lungguh A.
Published: July 2023

For English as a Foreign Language learners, writing is often considered a difficult skill to grasp with. Studies show that both EFL learners and teachers face similar challenges in developing EFL writing ability. This includes inadequate exposure to English, class size, insufficient knowledge of how language works in context, and mother tongue interferences which are believed to be the major challenges for both learners and teachers. This paper reports on an action research project aiming to identify the overall development of pre-service teachers’ skills in writing discussion texts and explore how the Reading to Learn (R2L) intervention helps these teachers develop their control over the target genre. Under the R2L approach, thirty (30) second-year teachers majoring in English language teaching at the Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus involved in the study. Results of the study suggest that the teachers writing skill gap was relatively neutralised after the intervention. In addition, the development of the pre-service teachers’ control over the target genre and language features is evident in text analysis. Upon the intervention, it is found that the teachers developed better control of the features of the discussion genre. Specifically, they developed their control over the stages, phases, appraisal resources, and periodicity which are crucial to establishing well-presented rhetorical features of a discussion text. In relation to the results, some recommendations are proposed for further research, including applying R2L intervention program in the mainstream education in Thailand.
Among English, Indonesian and local language: Translanguaging practices in an Indonesian EFL classroom

Published: July 2023

Teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Indonesia has its own complexity due to the multilingual situation and the broadly different levels of English proficiency.  To cope with this particular challenge, some Indonesian teachers tend to use a translanguaging method in teaching their students so that their classes are more interactive and engaging. In this case, translanguaging is a form of multilingual practice in the context of multilingual education where students are given equal rights to develop their language potential. Realizing the complexity of the learning process in a multilingual context, we aimed to reveal the types and purposes of Translanguaging in the learning process. This study used a qualitative method and data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analyses. This study shows that there were three types of translanguaging used by teachers during their teaching. The types of translanguaging are intra-sentential translanguaging, intersentential translanguaging, and tag translanguaging, with four purposes inform of strategies that are related to each other. It was also found that translanguaging is useful in the EFL learning processes because it can be used as a method to explain learning materials in a more convenient way to enhance students’ understanding.
Pronominal choice: Indonesian diglossic code-switching on the Kick Andy show
Authors: Foster Stuart Mannix , Welsh Alistair
Published: July 2023

Indonesian language contains a variety of pronouns and pronoun substitutes which enable speakers to position themselves in a variety of ways in relation to others for communicative purposes. Factors such as social standing, age, gender and cultural background influence pronominal choice but also reflect language alternation between standardised formal and informal Indonesian, a phenomenon known as diglossic code-switching. To study this, we examine the effects of pronominal choice by speakers on an episode of the popular Indonesian television talk show, Kick Andy. We first apply quantitative Discourse Analysis to sample conversations to identify the range of pronominal choice by speakers and instances of diglossic and English code-switching. Next we examine the use of diglossic code-switching through qualitative Conversation Analysis, to explore how speakers index themselves and others through individual linguistic choices of pronoun selection. In this study, we apply social positioning theory as a useful framework to analyse these dynamics. We detail how pronouns reflect social positioning of speakers and serve as a key indicator of societal power dynamics that broadly link to cultural norms. Our study contributes to sociolinguistic literature arguing that pronominal choice in Indonesian language is closely linked to diglossic code-switching.
The impact of learning experience on motivation: A case study of Chinese ethnic minority EFL learners
Authors: Xincai Ye
Published: July 2023

Language motivation research has long been a research focus in the field of second language acquisition. In the past two decades, a large number of motivation studies has been conducted in different social and cultural contexts. Researchers contributed to the explorations of factors that affect learners’ foreign language motivation as well as the relationship between motivation and other aspects of foreign language learning. However, research on Chinese ethnic minority learners’ motivation to learn English is in paucity. Many of the ethnic minority students are proficient in their mother tongue (minority language) and Mandarin (national language), while they are also learning English as a foreign language. The social and cultural contexts to which they are exposed make their English learning complicated. To address the gap, the present study adopted a qualitative research approach in the form of a case study to explore the impact of learning experience on English learning motivation among three Chinese ethnic minority pre-university students. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with three participants. The findings from the qualitative data revealed that the English learning motivation of the participants was typically examination-directed and greatly influenced by teachers’ teaching style, peers’ attitudes toward English and the overall learning atmosphere in the class. The study provides implications for educational policy making and English instruction in China’s ethnic minority regions.
Modality in the moves of the discussion section of research articles
Authors: Nejad Ali Mansouri , Mahfoodh Omer Hassan Ali
Published: July 2023

Various studies have been conducted on the rhetorical mechanism of Research Articles (RAs). However, the use of modal verbs in the Discussion section of a Research Article (RA) has not been adequately addressed. Thus, this study analysed modal verbs within the four generic moves in the Discussion sections of RAs using the model of Kanoksilapatham (2007). A corpus of 60 RAs written in English was selected from four Applied Linguistics journals: Language Testing, TESOL Quarterly, Pragmatics, and Second Language Research. The analysis of the corpus included two phases: (1) the identification of moves in the Discussion sections and (2) identification of modal verbs and their use within the identified generic moves in the Discussion sections. Chi-square was used to determine the distribution of modal verbs within the moves in the Discussion sections in each journal. The study revealed the significant distribution of modal verbs within three moves: 2, 3, and 4. The study also showed that the way modal verbs are distributed reflects the importance of their use as they have pragmatic functions in the Discussion section of a RA. It is hoped that this genre-based analysis of modal verbs in the Discussion section can make novice writers aware of how expert writers use modal verbs effectively in the moves of the Discussion section.
Temporal distribution of Botrytis cinerea and its relationship to the production of strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch., Monterrey variety) subjected to biological treatments with microbial antagonists
Authors: Cano Mario , Darghan Aquiles , Cuervo Jairo
Published: July 2023

In the Bogota Plateau (Bogota Savanna-Colombia), strawberry cultivation (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is established from 2,000 to 2,800 m a.s.l. In this environment the relative humidity is generally greater than 70% and the temperature fluctuates between 14 and 22°C; this is a favorable climate for the development of fungal diseases. Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) is the most important disease here and fruit losses can exceed 40% of production. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of the use of microbial antagonists in the biological regulation of B. cinerea and its relationship to production. Fragaria × ananassa Duch, cv. Monterrey plants were inoculated and co-inoculated (combination) at the time of transplantation with microbial consortia made up of mycorrhizal fungi, antagonistic bacteria and Trichoderma harzianum. We evaluated the temporal incidence of B. cinerea and the production of healthy fruits at 90, 180 and 270 days after transplantation. We observed a temporary increase in the incidence of the disease from 6.59 to 23.08% in the control plants, and higher values than those observed with biological treatment. Treatment with mycorrhizae showed the lowest values of B. cinerea with values from 0.89, 13.78% and the best treatment in fruit production. Inoculation and co-inoculation are an alternative for reducing the incidence of disease and for increasing fruit production.

Arugula is known for the spicy flavour of its leaves, and it is an important crop due to its high productivity and multiple harvests per year. However, seedling quality may limit its production. This study examined arugula seedling emergence and production at different sowing densities and substrate compositions. In a greenhouse, the broadleaf cultivar was randomized with a 5×3 factorial design (substrate compositions: 100% medium textured sand (SD), 100% Carolina Soil® commercial substrates (CS), 50%SD+50%CS, 75%SD+25%CS, and 25%SD+75%CS, and sowing densities: 5; 10 and 15 seeds/alveolus); with five replications. Analyzes were carried out on emergence speed index and mean emergence time, as well as on relative frequency, lengths of aerial and root parts, number of leaves, and rating scales according quality for tuft formation (or bouquets) and clod stability. All seeding densities and substrate compositions showed good seedling formation, except for the 100% SD composition, which showed low adherence in the substrate-plant-container-water system for tuft formation and clod stability. Except for 100% SD composition, an average of 70% of seedling emergence was at 9.7 d. For the production of commercial seedlings, it is indicated the use of 10 or more seeds per alveolus, and all substrate compositions tested in this study, except 100% SD.

The article deals with the relations between the United States of America, Great Britain and Ukraine. The major task of this study is to provide an analysis of the tripartite partnership between the states and to find out the place of Ukraine in the «special relations». The chronological boundaries of the article are determined by the presidential term of the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. Methodology of the article: historical-political and historical-comparative methods are used to determine changes in relations in the Washington-Kyiv-London triangle. The analysis method was applied to assess the place of Ukraine in the «special relations» of the United States and Great Britain. The article’s scientific novelty is rethinking Ukraine’s place in the «special relations» between the United States and Great Britain. Conclusions. It is especially noted that the United States of America and the United Kingdom began to develop relations with Ukraine during 2017–2022 intensively. It was caused by the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe. The annexation of Crimea, the invasion of the Russian army in Ukraine and the Russian government’s support of separatists in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions made Ukraine a center of the US and the UK foreign policy. This investigation proves that the role of Ukraine in «special relations» has strengthened. In fact, the state has turned into a strategic ally of the United States and Great Britain in the region. The main reason for such changes was the desire of London and Washington to have a strong and stable ally in Eastern Europe in opposition to Moscow. The United States and Great Britain failed to respond in time to Russian military aggression in Ukraine and did not fulfill their obligations presented in the Budapest Memorandum. The re-awareness of the importance of Ukraine on the geopolitical map of the world by the British-American elite prompted the establishment of a strategic partnership in the period of 2017–2021.
Pecularities of Determining the Composition of the Gardener’s Personal Data as a Subject of Personal Data

The paper is devoted to the issue that is one of the most significant in law and that is subject to clarification in cases of protection of the subject of personal data — the composition of the claimant’s personal data determined during the court proceedings on the basis of judicial discretion. The purpose of the paper is to interpret the concept of personal data as a legal category and an integral part of the gardener’s right to privacy through the analysis of the concepts of the right to privacy and inviolability of private life in relation to the gardener, to formulate rules and principles for determining the composition of personal data of the gardener as a special subject of the institute of personal data. The author comes to the conclusion that the very fact of acquiring a garden plot of land intended for the recreation of individuals generates an absolute relationship in the form of a passive obligation of everyone to respect the privacy of the gardener, to refrain from any encroachment on this right, on the one hand, and the right of the gardener to demand from anyone and everyone its intangible benefits of an absolute nature acting erga omnes (against all), on the other hand. The above allows the author to conclude that, based on the peculiarities of the legal status of a gardener acting as the owner of a garden plot of land intended for recreation, it should be stated that all relations related to recreation are included in the concept of private life inviolability of which refers to intangible benefits that are absolute and protected also with the help of the institute of personal data.

The paper analyzes the current state of violent juvenile delinquency in our country and gives the data of official statistics. The analysis of the data shows that, along with the decreasing juvenile delinquency, there is an alarming increase in the commission of serious violent crimes by minors. Summary indicators of juvenile delinquency are demonstrated, justifying such a conclusion.The authors consider the point of view of scientists on social factors that are determinative for the manifestation of violence in the adolescent environment. In this regard, the authors conclude that in general the main factors include the demonstration of violence in the media and the Internet, its habitual manifestation in the immediate environment, social deviations and mental anomalies in minors, as well as significant disadvantages of leisure activities. Attention is given to the situational nature of crimes committed by minors, as well as the impact on the commission of certain types of crimes of the personality and behavior of juvenile victims. It is concluded that there is an urgent need to develop comprehensive preventive measures that involve coordinated activities of various institutions (educational, sports, cultural and leisure institutions, law enforcement agencies). At the same time, according to the authors, the main vector of our state’s policy in this area should be the further strengthening of measures for the moral and ideological education of minors, the organization of accessible leisure activities for them, since excessive behavioral activity of minors due to age should not be suppressed, but reoriented.The authors conclude that the state’s youth policy should aimed at increasing the value of a healthy lifestyle, education and culture, and its main vector in this area should be strengthening measures for the moral and ideological education of minors.

Cachexia, mediated by the multiligand receptor RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products) and its ligands HMGB1, S100B, and S100A1, is a formidable multifactorial complication of the severe course of a number of somatic and malignant diseases. One of the most visualized symptoms of cachexia is a significant decrease in body weight, but the main one is the systemic shutdown of a number of regulatory centers that control the maintenance of homeostasis. Activation of these markers contributes to the launch and intensification of the destructive processes of cachexia, and blocking, in some cases, can reduce their intensity. Among known drugs from various therapeutic groups, there are blockers of one or more markers. For example, Papaverine antispasmodic as well as the nootropic anxiolytic Tenoten, antibacterial Pentamidine and antidepressant Duloxetine. This review describes in detail the significance of the listed markers in the pathogenesis of cachexia, especially in malignant pathology. An assumption was made about the possible control of cachectic progression with the help of such blockers to improve the quality of life of patients.
Effects of fullerene C60 with antihypoxants
Authors: Marysheva Vera  V. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Drug improvement is often carried out with the help of chemical modifications that improve the receptor action or transport of drugs to their target tissues.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combinations of C60 fullerene with amtizol, 2-amino-4-acetylthiazolo[5,4-b]indole, metaprot, metaprot base, and rutin on antihypoxic activities in a model of acute hypoxia with hypercapnia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Several compounds with mono-, bi-, and tricyclic structures were examined separately or combined with C60 fullerene. All compounds, except for rutin, were synthesized at the Department of Pharmacology of the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy and contain active amino groups, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms in the cycles: amtizol (3,5-diamino-1,2,4-thiadiazole), VM-606 (2-amino-4-acetylthiazolo[5,4-b]indole), Metaprot (2-ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrobromide monohydrate), and Metaprot base. All compounds demonstrated antihypoxic activity. Hypobaric hypoxia was simulated in a flow pressure chamber by lifting animals to a height of 10,000 m at a speed of 50 m/s and exposure for 60 min. The preparations were administered intraperitoneally 60 min before the experiment. The protective effect was evaluated by the average life expectancy at altitude. Hypoxia with hypercapnia was assessed on male white mice weighing 2022 g, which were placed in 200 mL glass jars with hermetic lids, which were lowered under water to prevent air leakage. The studied preparations and their complexes with fullerene in the form of a thin suspension with Tween-80 were administered intraperitoneally min before hypoxia. The lifespan of the animals was recorded.
RESULTS: The formation of the complex and its properties depend on the development of a donoracceptor bond between the drug and fullerene. An increase in the bioavailability of amtizol in the form of a complex with C60 fullerene increased the antihypoxic activity of the mixture by 40%. For the first time, dynamic curves of the activities of amtizol and 2-amino-4-acetylthiazolo[5,4-b]indole depending on time were obtained in a model of hypercapnic hypoxia.
CONCLUSION: Fullerene C60 enhances the antihypoxic activity of the studied compounds due to an increase in the bioavailability of the antihypoxant caused by the microporation of tissue membranes due to the action of fullerene C60.
