Measuring road network resilience by loss of serviceability index for critical road links
Authors: Ientile Silvia , Bianne Guillame , Chevalier Christophe , Schmidt Franziska , Rasol Mezgeen , Orcesi Andre , Adelaide Lucas , Nedjar Boumediene
Published: May 2022

In complex networks such as road infrastructure systems, disruptive events have direct consequences (loss of lives, structural damage, economic losses, etc.) related to the sub-system level directly affected, as well as indirect consequences on the overall system level, such as loss of functionality and related monetary consequences. To quantify the influence of component failures on network performance, complex network analysis makes it possible to represent the relation between its components and the consequences to estimate the functionality of the system. The serviceability of a road network is the possibility to use it during a given time period, and represents the performance of the system. Thus, time to restored serviceability after a disruptive event is a measure of road transportation resilience. In this paper, network analysis performed by the OSMnx Python package, supplied by road network data from OpenStreetMap, is applied to a Spanish motorway case study. The loss of serviceability index is obtained, combining the results of road links failure scenarios based on shortest paths and travel times to estimate road network resilience. The proposed methodology allows a suitable evaluation of the influence of road links in the risk assessment and management strategies by road infrastructure owners and managers.
Analysis of the micro to macro response of clays to compression
Authors: Guglielmi Simona , Cotecchia Federica , Cafaro Francesco , Gens Antonio
Published: May 2022

An investigation of clay microstructure and its evolution under one-dimensional (1D) and isotropic compression is presented for different clays. Data from the literature are compared to original results on two Italian clays, obtained using scanning electron microscopy, image processing, mercury intrusion porosimetry and on-purpose swelling tests. The effects of composition and loading history on clay microstructure, as well as its changes along the compression path (pre- and post-gross yielding) are analysed and a conceptual model of microstructure evolution is proposed for the clays under study. Normally consolidated clays at early virgin compression, either natural or reconstituted, are found to possess an open fabric of random to low orientation, complying with a prevailing inter-aggregate and a smaller intra-aggregate porosity, whose size and distribution depend on composition. Under 1D compression, either in the field or in the laboratory, the inter-aggregate porosity is lost, at a rate dependent on composition and loading history, and the dominant intra-aggregate micropore is progressively reduced. Accordingly, perfectly oriented stacks of domains are recognised which, however, embed preserved random particle arrangements even at large pressures, resulting in an increase of average orientation up to the reach of a steady orientation degree. Isotropic compression causes faster microstructure evolution, although large pressures are required to change 1D-induced fabric orientation.

Published: May 2022

Este documento da cuenta del acompañamiento psicosocial con víctimas del conflicto armado, realizado desde el Centro Integral de Promoción de Derechos (CIPD), ejecutado por la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Seccional Cali, en la comuna 15, en el periodo febrero-noviembre de 2020, en el marco del proceso de apropiación social del conocimiento del proyecto de investigación “Significados de solidaridad en víctimas de violencia sociopolítica de la comuna 15 y 18 de la ciudad de Cali y su relación con las prácticas de fortalecimiento del tejido social” (julio de 2019 a enero de 2021), así como desde las prácticas formativas de los estudiantes de Psicología con la Fundación Peñas Vive. El proyecto se constituyó en una oportunidad para proponer una comprensión sobre el acompañamiento psicosocial. Una de las reflexiones más importantes en este ejercicio fue la dimensión ético-política que todo proceso de acompañamiento trae consigo, pues es fundamental dar cabida y lugar a las visiones, creencias, sentires y prácticas de los colectivos. En este sentido, debe partirse de una interacción o vínculo con las personas a quienes se acompaña, centrada en el dar. Un segundo aspecto relevante es el de proponer metodologías que promuevan procesos de transformación de realidades. Ambos asuntos permiten hacer una apuesta por ese “otro”, que en este caso han estado en lugares de vulnerabilidad, exclusión, victimización e invisibilización, pero no por eso han perdido su capacidad de actuar y soñar, de denunciar y exigir.
Relasionele ontologie en posthumanistiese subjektiwiteit in Pieter Odendaal se poësiedebuut
Authors: Linde Janien
Published: May 2022

In Pieter Odendaal’s debut, asof geen berge ooit hier gewoon het nie (as if no mountains ever lived here), the poet expands the complex question “re mang?” (who are we?) into an important theme and utilises it as a structural element by building the different sections of the volume around various conceptions of ‘us’. In this article, I argue that Odendaal’s poetry should be read in terms of relational ontology, seeing as relationality and interconnectedness are important themes in the text. The poetry creatively introduces a posthumanist way of looking at subjectivity and intersubjectivity. The text problematises the position of humankind on earth and in the larger universe, and asks questions regarding the basic ways in which we understand the concept of ‘us’, our existence and the ways in which we relate to every other inhabitant of the planet (human or non-human; living or non-living). In the process the Cartesian view of humankind is deconstructed and the human’s ontological position is decentralised. Everything on earth is placed on equal ontological footing as part of a never-ending network of interactions, associations, and influences. This kind of posthumanist and relational ontological thinking is foregrounded throughout asof geen berge ooit hier gewoon het nie. I analyse this foregrounding in poems which explore the following themes and topics: interpersonal relationships between people that experience life differently because of differing backgrounds (but also between family members and lovers); the relationship between humans and nature (in the broadest sense of the word); time, and the inevitability of finitude and death that connects everything; and the difficulty of dialogue aimed at finding justice, reconciliation, acceptance and appreciation, by means of a realisation of posthuman interdependence.
Study protocol for thermographic analysis of the nasolabial fold region in women submitted to hyaluronic acid filling
Authors: De Carvalho Fernanda Christina , Faria Isabella Stagliorio Dumet , Medrado Alena Peixoto
Published: May 2022

INTRODUCTION: Due to the increasing number of cases with immediate and late complications caused by the action of facial fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA), there is an urgent need to better evaluate the effect of these aesthetic and functional procedures. In this sense, it is relevant to use Infrared Thermography (IRT) as an auxiliary tool for the diagnosis of local dysfunctions. This diagnostic method allows the professional who applies the injections to be certain about the condition of the microcirculation of the anatomical site being treated, enabling the possibility of early intervention in case of adverse effects, such as the development of microbubbles, vascular compression, among other conditions. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to describe the thermal coefficient of the nasolabial sulcus (NLF) region of patients undergoing HA filling, using TRI. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This is a prospective study involving 25 female patients from a private clinic. Thermal imaging will be performed before, immediately after, 1 hour, 3 hours, and 1 month after filling the NLF region with AH. Study approved by CAAE: 34546620.7.0000.5544. RESULTS: The result of this study will allow preventive follow-up and early intervention in cases of vascular alterations related to facial fillings with AH.
18S-V4 rRNA amplification from sorted cells (low-concentration DNA) for NGS Illumina sequencing (Metabarcoding) v1
Authors: Bigeard Estelle , Lopes Dos Santos Adriana , Ribeiro Catherine
Published: May 2022

For metabarcoding purpose, the first step involves the amplification by PCR of a given gene region (for example V4 or V9 region of 18S rRNA gene) or gene itself if its size does not exceed 600bp (the highest fragment size that can be sequenced by Illumina technology). The defined forward and reverse primers that are complementary upstream and downstream of the region of interest, needs to be designed with overhang adapters which will be used in a subsequent limited‐cycle amplification step, in order to add the dual‐index barcodes and Illumina flow cell adapters. To design illumina primers, it will be necessary to know the sequencing method, and therefore the adapters sequence. The following protocol explains the generation of 18S-V4 PCR amplicons for eukaryote metabarcoding analyses on sorted cells from seawater samples. Here we described the amplification protocol for 2 sequencing platforms (Genomer, Roscoff, France & Get-PlaGE, Toulouse, France).
The TARGET System: Rapid Identification of Direct Targets of Transcription Factors by Gene Regulation in Plant Cells v2
Authors: D. Brooks Matthew , M. Reed Kelsey , Krouk Gabriel , M. Coruzzi Gloria , O. R. Bargmann Bastiaan
Published: May 2022

The TARGET system allows for the rapid identification of direct regulated gene targets of transcription factors (TFs). It employs the transient transformation of plant protoplasts with inducible nuclear entry of the TF and subsequent transcriptomic and/or ChIP-seq analysis. The ability to separate direct TF-target gene regulatory interactions from indirect downstream responses and the significantly shorter amount of time required to perform the assay, compared to the generation of transgenics, makes this plant cell-based approach a valuable tool for a higher through-put approach to identify the genome-wide targets of multiple TFs, to build validated transcriptional networks in plants. Here, we describe the use of the TARGET system in Arabidopsis seedling root protoplasts to map the gene regulatory network downstream of transcription factors-of-interest. NB.

To achieve the research objectives, it applies a survey in three phases. The first and second phase deals with questionnaire distribution to Master of Public Administration students, teachers, college administrators, and experts. The third phase was the distribution of questionnaires to all participants who have given their opinion on the proposed curriculum, their objectives, and the subjects/courses. The findings disclosed that the established curriculum confirmed with the Commission on Higher Education standards consisting of the core or professional subjects, research and evaluation, major subjects, and thesis writing. This study is helpful by universities in offering the public sector management curriculum at the master's level.
Housing Construction in the Villages of the Dnieper Region in the Second Half of the XXth Century (on the Basis of Field Research Materials in the Village of HalaHanivka, Cherkasy region)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Bedenko Vladyslav
Published: May 2022

The proposed article considers the current state of housing construction in the Villages of the Dnieper Region. Modern rural architecture was created in the 1950s – 1960s, which is, firstly, a result of the process of modernization residential buildings in the course of growing industrial development of the USSR, and, secondly, if we talk about Halahanivka, resettlement of many families from flooded areas during the construction of Kremenchuk HPP. At the same time, during the building, traditional forms of housing remained, albeit with more modern materials. For example, traditional hipped roofs began to be covered with slate, in rare cases with tiles or iron. The review of this article is based on the example of data from Halahanivka, which belongs to Cherkasy district of Cherkasy region and is subordinated to the Chyhyryn City Council. The author considered the regularity of development of rural house building in the XX–XXI centuries, the characteristic of their appearance (including the basic building materials which are the most common among the local residents today), the comparison of the modern houses with houses of the XIX centuries. The issues considered in this paper are a relevant direction of ethnological science, it highlights the process of transformation from traditional rural house building to modern. Unfortunately, specialized researches of the development of rural house building in the second half of XX–XXI centuries to date, there are almost none, and some of the research presented on this topic do not cover all aspects of this area. So the main sources for our article were the Land Records, which are stored in the Halahanivskyi Starostynskyi District, and materials from the author’s own archives.

Published: May 2022

In this article the author examines the indigenous people of the United States, Navajo, and their efforts, ways and ideas to preserve and pass on their traditional culture to the younger generation, and everything related to it; some peculiarities of its acquisition are indicated during the existence of the tribe, during the period of residence in the modern American states of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico; changes in the ways of preserving traditions; their current state; US policy on indigenous people. The author studied the history of the origin of the Navajo tribe; the modern educational system of the tribe, and what role does it play in preserving their traditions; Navajo rituals and beliefs that exist nowadays; the policy of the federal government of the United States on Native Americans, it`s purpose, activities, dynamics of changes over a fairly long period of time from the first half of the XIX century to the end of the XX century. The focus is concentrated on the bills passed at that time, and how did they affect the lives of various tribes located in the United States and with them the Navajo themselves. Certain reasons for changes in the course of US policy towards the indigenous population are described. Also, the article notes the importance of cultural heritage for the Navajo themselves. The basic concept related to their world-view called «Sa’ah Naaghai Bik’eh Hozho» is briefly described, how does it affect the lives of modern members of the tribe, and what role does it play in preserving traditional beliefs. Along with this, the presence of healing rituals is noted, which also plays a role in the transfer of knowledge to descendants. The author describes current actions and trends in the United States’ policies towards their indigenous peoples; existence of developed programs to restore the economic and socio-cultural life of the tribes is noted, which in fact also has an impact on the Navajo.
Yoga and Cutaneous Functional Unit Recruitment for a Patient with Cervical and Upper Extremity Burn Scar Contracture: Case Report
Authors: Dean Brooke , Puthumana Joseph , Vocke Scott , Neely Laurie , Modica Ashley , Caffrey Julie
Published: May 2022

Burn scar contracture greatly limits function for burn survivors, particularly when the scarring crosses multiple joints. Previous research has identified fields of skin recruited during single joint motion, called cutaneous functional units (CFU), indicating that impairments may be seen distal to the injured tissue. This case report connects the principles of CFU and yoga-inspired therapy modalities in improving clinical outcomes for a burn survivor. The patient is a 38-year-old male who sustained deep partial-thickness electrical burns to his neck, chest, and bilateral upper extremities, presenting with significantly decreased range of motion. The patient attended physical therapy 4 days a week, where he performed a specific yoga asana program during each session. Outcomes including standard range of motion measures, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and the Neck Disability Index (NDI), which were recorded every 10 sessions. CFUs of cervical extension and shoulder flexion were analyzed via photographs comparing cutaneous position during specified yoga poses and resting anatomical position in standing. Over 30 visits, cervical and shoulder range of motion increased, although the VSS and NDI did not show significant improvement. Yoga poses showed overall cutaneous recruitment distal to the targeted joints, and burned skin was recruited similarly to nonburned skin in positions of stretch. Incorporating multijoint approaches for stretching, like yoga, appears to contribute to improved clinical range-of-motion outcomes when paired with traditional burn-rehabilitation interventions. Yoga poses involving multiple joints align with the principle of CFUs, warranting continued investigation.

Published: May 2022

Dentists have a wide variety of techniques available to them such as tell -show-do, relaxation, distraction, systematic desensitisation, modelling, audio analgesia, hypnosis, and behaviour rehearsal. There is no concrete research as systematic review and meta-analysis indicating which explains the most effective distraction technique. Aim: To summarize effectiveness of audio and audio-visual (AV) distraction aids for management of pain and anxiety in children undergoing dental treatment. Study design: Literature search: PubMed/MEDLINE, DOAJ, Science Direct from June – July 2020 with randomized control clinical trials conducted on children with audio and AV distraction aids as intervention and those which had anxiety and pain as outcomes were searched. Fifty articles were identified and relevance was determined. 14 studies were included for qualitative synthesis and 05 were eligible for meta-analysis. Cochrane handbook used to assess the risk of bias. The meta analysis conducted using review manager 5.3 software. Results: Meta-analysis, cumulative mean difference for audio and AV distraction techniques was calculated with main outcomes as pulse rate, O2 level, Vehman’s picture and clinical test. These findings showed significant difference favoring the intervention (audio and AV) group when compared with control but indicating more effectiveness of AV distractions. Conclusion: Different audio-visual aids assist in reducing pain and anxiety in children but using audio distraction aids when audio-visual aids are not available could be acceptable way for distracting and treating children

Escritura científica en la Universidad : recomendaciones para los ingenieros de cómo citar y referenciar con las Normas Icontec NTC 1486
Authors:   Universidad Libre, Arce Narváez Gloria Cristina
Published: May 2022

Esta serie da cuenta de la compilación y traducción de los manuales de citación APA de la Asociación Americana de Psicología (séptima edición de 2019); IEEE del Instituto de Ingenieros Eléctricos y Electrónicos, así como de la Norma Icontec NTC 1486. Este manual opera como instrumento de consulta para profesores, estudiantes y demás integrantes de la comunidad académica y científica en particular, convirtiéndose en un apoyo valioso para la presentación de trabajos académicos, artículos científicos, monografías, ensayos, tesis de maestrías y doctorados, entre otros. La era discursiva marcada por voces polifónicos que transitan en distintas enunciaciones y campos de conocimiento presenta hoy enormes dificultades bajo los parámetros de arbitraje exigidos por la comunidad científica nacional e internacional. En este sentido, es recurrente la frustración que sienten los autores de artículos científicos e investigadores después del rechazo de sus productos, y tras el veredicto por parte de pares académicos en los que se señalan problemas de citación, inadecuada presentación de referencias bibliográficas, márgenes sin las medidas correctas, tipos de letra diferentes, notas aclaratorias y demás dificultades que entorpecen el proceso de publicación y aceptación de sus trabajos. Adicional a esto, en el contexto global caracterizado por el desarrollo tecnológico y científico, la facilidad de acceso a la información posibilita la interacción con todo tipo de discursos donde se hace necesario reconocer la voz del otro y otorgarle su legitimidad mediante una correcta citación para que, dicho sea de paso, se evidencie en la escritura académica y científica el respeto y el reconocimiento a los derechos de autor. Teniendo en cuenta las anteriores consideraciones, este manual es de suma importancia puesto que sistematiza y compila de manera organizada tres tipos de normatividad ampliamente utilizadas por la comunidad científica y académica en el contexto nacional e internacional.

Published: May 2022

Primary liver cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide and ranked in third for cancer-related mortality rate. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for about 90% of all primary liver cancers. High vascularization of HCC implies the significance of angiogenesis in the development and pathogenesis of HCC. Several angiogenic pathways have been identified as being dysregulated in HCC, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of HCC. In 2007, sorafenib was approved as the standard first-line treatment for advanced HCC, catapulting the therapeutic approach of HCC into the avenue of targeted therapy. In recent years, the approval of several novel targeted drugs and the progress in combination of immunotherapy and targeted therapies provide more alternatives for the treatment of HCC. The progress of anti-angiogenesis therapies in HCC over the past few decades is reviewed and the future prospect of anti-angiogenesis therapy for HCC is also discussed.

Published: May 2022

Intraorbital foreign bodies can be metallic, non metallic and organic in their composition. Organic foreign bodies especially wooden, can act as a nidus of infection if left in situ. The diagnosis of a wooden foreign body is quite difficult radiologically because of their radiolucent nature so, they require high degree of suspicion. We report this case of a patient who presented with non healing persistent discharging sinus from left eye lateral part of the upper lid just above the eye lid margin following trivial trauma 6 months back. Based on the clinical evaluation and radiological evidence we made a diagnosis of retained wooden intraorbital foreign body. LE orbit surgical exploration and removal of wooden foreign body was done and the patient responded well postoperatively.

Authors: Singh Jitendra , Singh SP , Singh Vinod Kumar , Singh Shivangi
Published: May 2022

Ocular toxocariasis is an uncommon worldwide parasitic infection that affects mostly children and is found in both rural and metropolitan areas. In many parts of the world, parasitic infections of the eye are a major cause of blindness. The diagnosis of toxocariasis is essentially clinical, based on the lesion morphology and supportive laboratory data such as serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titers and ELISA Toxocara titers on aqueous humor; other diagnostic methods are imaging studies including optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, computed tomography, and ocular ultrasound. Treatment is directed at complications arising from intraocular inflammation and vitreous membrane traction. Early vitrectomy may be of value both diagnostically and therapeutically.

Los ecosistemas tropicales se ven fragmentados y afectados por las actividades humanas. Es muy importante comprender cómo estas actividades inciden en la biodiversidad con miras a la conservación y el manejo de los ecosistemas acuáticos. En este estudio se evaluó la variación estructural de las familias de macroinvertebrados acuáticos y su relación con la calidad del agua en quebradas asociadas con cultivos de café y ganadería vacuna en el sector de La Tagua en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Se seleccionaron tres sitios de muestreo: uno con influencia de ganadería (La Cuca), otro cercano a cultivos de café (La Marrana) y un área sin intervención productiva evidente que sirvió como sitio de referencia (Doña Sofía). Se recolectaron 7.367 individuos distribuidos en 29 familias y 10 órdenes. Los órdenes con mayor número de familias fueron Díptera, Trichoptera y Hemíptera, con cinco familias cada uno. Se comprobaron diferencias significativas en las abundancias de las familias entre los sitios (Anosim: R=0,026; p=0,035). Según el índice BMWP-Col (Biological Monitoring Working Party), la quebrada La Cuca presentó aguas moderadamente contaminadas, en tanto que en La Marrana el agua estaba levemente contaminada y en la quebrada Doña Sofía tenía buena calidad. Por último, las familias tolerantes a la contaminación orgánica se encontraron en las quebradas cercanas a los cultivos de café y lugares con ganado vacuno, en tanto que en la quebrada de referencia se registró un aumento de la abundancia y el número de familias sensibles a los niveles de contaminación.

How Does Financial Development Affect Economic Growth Volatility? Evidence from a Penalized Panel Quantile Regression
Authors: MAZIOUD Manel
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to examine the effect of financial development on economic growth volatility for a sample of 63 countries during the period 1996-2016. Previous studies have reported mixed and inconclusive results regarding such an effect. I ascribe these controversial findings to the limitations of the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and adopt the method of quantile regression with panel data as developed in Canay (2011). This methodological contribution allows us to test whether the effect of financial development varies across the full distribution, especially at the extreme quantiles of economic growth volatility. Unlike OLS regression, quantile regression captures the whole picture of the relationship between financial development and economic growth volatility by estimating the effect at each quantile of the distribution. Overall, our empirical results show that the effect of financial development on economic growth volatility is negative. However, this effect appears to not be uniform across the quantiles of the economic volatility distribution. This paper sheds more light on the association between financial development and economic growth volatility.

Published: May 2022

The article presents the experience of creating an innovative format of extracurricular training of applicants as a means of implementation of education for sustainable development – the experimental group “Cytoecologist”. The functioning of this format is based on the implementation of selected principles of STEM-education and open education of applicants. To implement these principles in the training of specialists, the group leader uses a number of formats of students’ activity that are not inherent in traditional education. Among them are dynamic temporary microgroups for experimental search; format “information activities”, Internet surfing, WIKI format, educational coworking or collaboration in space. The pedagogical experiment consisted of two parts. The first part is to find out the state of implementation of research skills by biology teachers in practice, which included determination of the level of their self-realization and interest in the organization of research activities of students. The second part is to find out the effectiveness of the presented experience of creation of a scientific student group “Cytoecologist”, within which the implementation of education for sustainable development by means of research activities of future biology teachers is carried out. A survey of graduates of the group shows that the basic principles of the group provide the formation of a stereotype of a specialist-researcher, and the vast majority of respondents (95%) use research skills in their professional activities, one of the directions of which is education for sustainable development. The experience of creating a research group of students presented in the article is the result of many years of scientific research of authors (teachers-practitioners of leading universities of Ukraine). This acquisition is original and is being published for the first time, and the obtained positive results give grounds to recommend it for implementation in the practice of training biology teachers in Western Europe.

Improving the efficiency of training of specialists with higher education who have a high level of professional qualification and are able to take an active position in their professional activities at the present stage is one of the primary strategic objectives of the educational policy and the main goal of higher physical education institutions. The leading place in the system of training specialists in this area is occupied by pedagogical disciplines, the study of which lays the foundations of pedagogical skills, which determine the professional and pedagogical readiness of graduates for future activities. On the other hand, the postmodernist paradigm of education is a cross-cultural and synchronously oriented phenomenon, an important component of which is world physical culture and sports, which adds relevance to the study. The author’s technique for formation of pedagogical skill in future teachers of physical culture on the basis of integrated development is stated in the article.

Published: May 2022

The scientific article describes the peculiarities of the perception of student marriage partners of the concept of "love" as a romantic feeling. The aim of the article was to clarify the features of the modern understanding of the verbalized concept of "love" among student marriage partners.
The methodology of researching the personal meaning of the concept of "love" was aimed at identifying their semantic spaces among 142 students who are in a marital relationship through a free direct associative experiment.
As a result of the study of the associative field of "love" for five reactions for women and men, the peculiarities of the modern perception of married partners of the definition of "love" is the association with trust and care, care and tenderness. It was also found that the studied phenomenon is a category of intimate relationships aimed at satisfying sexual desire.
Analysis of the data of a free associative experiment suggests that the idea of love in marital relations of students generally correlates with scientific ideas about these phenomena. Love is seen as "trust", "tenderness", "passion", "respect", "sex", "understanding", "hugs". These associations belong to the associative fields of various topics, including spiritual and moral, psychological, cultural and philosophical. The most common associations were also: faith, dreams, romance, beauty, motherhood, partnership, view, positive, value, strength, mutual need. Therefore, it allows us to conclude about the positive perception of the concept of "love". Students' daily understanding of the concept of "love" has an emotional and psychological color with a physical component.

Published: May 2022

This article attempts to improve the Ukrainian system of competencies for fine arts teachers in Ukraine. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of the approaches to classification of components of artistic and pedagogical competence (structural, system, functional), the article justifies the need to improve expected competencies in the context of motivational, cognitive and pratical components of education content. The article proves that the result of the formation of each of the selected components is the development of certain artistic and pedagogical knowledge, skills and experience of creative attitude to artistic and pedagogical activities, and the result of the formation of holistic artistic and pedagogical competence is the teacher's readiness for innovative artistic creativity, developed individual style of pedagogical activity. The motivational component of artistic and pedagogical competence of a teacher of fine arts is characterized by a set of cognitive guidelines, artistic and value orientations, creative interests related to the content of artistic and pedagogical activities; the cognitive component is defined as a system of knowledge about the essence, structure, functions and features of effective activity of a teacher of fine arts and optimal styles of pedagogical communication in unity with general cultural and specific fine arts knowledge; the practical component is manifested in the formation of the ability (communicative, organizational, diagnostic, projective, constructive, managerial, creative) to the effective implementation of the teacher of fine arts artistic and pedagogical functions. The international relevance of the article consists in the need of the post-Soviet countries to overcome conservative approaches in teaching creative courses and borrowing the innovative experience of the countries with ancient democratic traditions.

The causes of autism remain insufficiently differentiated. It is unlikely that any single disorder can be considered as the only cause of various symptoms and severity of autistic disorders. Although the specific causes of autism remain unclear, significant progress has been made in understanding the possible mechanisms of the disease. Turning to historical sources, we find that the origin and origin of the term "autism" are associated with forming a system of knowledge on the problem of diagnosis and further therapeutic work with children who need unique approaches to learn and educate. Analysis of the classifications of autism reveals the ambiguity of approaches to them. The first attempts at differentiation in the middle of childhood autism syndrome were clinical classifications based on the syndrome's etiology. They play a significant role in developing adequate approaches to providing medical care to children with autism. Psychological and pedagogical tasks required other approaches to determine, depending on the specific situation, the specialization, strategy, and tactics of correctional work. First of all, there was a search for prognostic signs that would assess the possibilities of mental and social development of children in this category. To this end, some scholars have put forward criteria for assessing speech and intellectual development. The analysis of difficulties of the unanimous possibility of classification on separate indicators of mental development of the child (intelligence, speech, behavior, self-regulation, etc.) can be explained by parallel existence of classifications operating today in world practice.

School manuals have special place among the socio-cultural acquisition of the past, which are the kind of reflection of certain era, the level of knowledge, worldview and prevailing stereotypes in the field of education. The manual is a carrier of the content of education, definitions, storage of knowledge and methods of learning that is necessary in this society. The complexity of the manual, the richness of its types, structure, diversity of its content and functions define it as a valuable historical document, the research of which provides opportunities to study the features and patterns of development and formation of the manual  in different historical periods and using modern manuals. The research of the history of school manual development begins with the establishment by scientists the fact of the manual origin, which historians associate with clay tablets on which the Sumerians placed manuals five thousand years ago. The formation of the pedagogical theory of the manual is associated with the idea that the manual was first defined as a special book created on the basis of pedagogical principles as one that implements a certain content of education.

Often in discussions with teachers in different contexts, one of the subjects concerned the difficulties of working with students from "problem classes".In order to meet their needs, we have identified practical solutions, techniques and methods of preventing and modifying behavior, through literature analysis. Thus, the idea of proposing a training program to address the issue of classroom management appeared. In the broader sense, the work of the classroom teacher is a leading activity (according to the education sciences). Any of the actors: Educator, teacher, who effectively coordinate the educational process is concerned about the educational climate of the group. We briefly outline the structure and aims of such a program, as it can be a reference point in optimizing the professional development of teachers and educators.
The Impact of Attachment on Experiencing Well-Being
Authors: Corcaci Geogiana , Mihăilă Gheorghe
Published: May 2022

Man is a social animal, says Aristotle. We are born, we grow, we form, we develop, we prosper in groups. Being a good, balanced parent is a very important stake, because a family climate lacking love and emotional security will generate a similar perception of social relationships for the child. It will appear as unstable, dangerous, difficult to control, causing the child to show relationship difficulties, to feel unable to cope with an environment he considers hostile and will negatively influence the experience of well-being. Children and adolescents face various challenges in life, especially today. When the family provides support and encouragement, affection and conditions for the development of a secure attachment pattern, children will easily overcome and successfully manage the future organization of psychological, emotional and biological resources. The present research aims to investigate the possible link between the type of attachment acquired in childhood and the experience of well-being in adulthood, essential elements that contribute to improving the quality of life.

The relationship between online work, well-being and mental health is well-documented. This study aimed to highlight the relationship between online work and depression in the context of the rapid changes that have marked the field of work and the organizational world, as a result of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. One hundred and ninety-seven subjects were recruited from the community population using the convenience sampling technique. Of these, 139 carried out their academic/professional activity online, while 58 worked in situ. Participants completed the Romanian versions for the Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). There was no statistically significant difference between the scores that participants in the two groups revealed for depression. In contrast, for generalized self-efficacy, participants who worked online scored significantly higher than those who worked in situ. In addition, for both groups of participants, the level of depression was negatively associated with generalized self-efficacy. Several practical recommendations for reducing the risks of working online are proposed.

Background: Maintenance of seed quality in storage is important without losing its living entity against biotic and abiotic stress. Arka Sukomal seeds are protein rich and include other nutrient composition which is required for seed germination and seedling establishment. There is a need to minimise the deterioration of cellular structure and biochemical compounds by adopting suitable storage conditions and containers. Methods: The laboratory experiment was carried out to identify the suitable storage conditions and containers on seed quality parameters. The seeds were stored in four different containers viz., cloth bag, polythene bag, super grain bag and poly-lined aluminium pouch at ambient and at controlled condition (15oC). The observations were recorded bimonthly up to fourteen months. Result: The results showed that seeds in poly-lined aluminium pouch at controlled conditions had shown better quality parameters like lower moisture content (7.70%), higher seed germination (93.58%), more increased seedling vigour index II (5316) and low electrical conductivity of seed leachate (0.437 dS m-1) whereas it was lower in cloth bag at ambient condition (10.40%, 80.67%, 3611 and 0.649 dS m-1, respectively) at the end of storage period. Hence, the viability and vigour of seeds could be maintained better by storing in moisture impervious containers (poly-lined aluminium pouch and polythene bag) at the controlled condition, which is cost-effective and easily adaptable.
