O JOGO AGONÍSTICO: LIBERDADE-PODER SEGUNDO FOUCAULT
Authors: Dos Santos e Santos Ana Lúcia
Published: April 2021

No presente texto, pretendo abordar a seguinte questão: como as práticas de liberdade se efetivam segundo Foucault? Para tanto, é preciso compreender, primeiramente o que são tais práticas e como são possíveis de se realizarem. De modo geral, podemos dizer que as práticas de liberdade são ações de resistência que ocorrem por meio de uma atividade crítica e criativa face aos modos de individualização do sujeito - a partir das técnicas de vigilância que se encarregam de incitar e controlar os corpos, e a regulamentação totalizante da população. Essas práticas são possíveis, visto que nas relações sociais existe um jogo agonístico entre a liberdade e o poder que se revelam de forma circular – ora um domina ora a situação se inverte. Assim, cabe investigarmos o significado, a possibilidade, fato da existência da liberdade segundo Foucault, e em última análise os desdobramentos.

Published: April 2021

Os objetivos deste estudo é evidenciar quais as estratégias utilizadas por alunos adultos na aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa e como elas ocorrem, dentro do contexto de uma sala de aula de uma escola de idiomas. O cenário de sala de aula observado correspondeu à realidade educacional de duas turmas de nivelamento básico em Inglês. O estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa, foi dividido em dois momentos: observações iniciais e entrevistas realizadas com alunos adultos das turmas observadas. Constatou-se que o aluno, além do auxílio do professor dentro da sala de aula, usou aplicativos como o Google Tradutor. Também foi possível verificar que por mais que ao aluno seja proporcionado materiais extras ou apoio docente, a aquisição e aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa somente é possível quando ele assume a posição de principal agente no seu processo de aprendizagem.

PONTOS E CONTORNOS DA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES EM MOÇAMBIQUE E NO BRASIL
Authors: Garcia Fabiane Maia , Bene Leonel Elias , Mendes Braz Aissa Thamy Alencar
Published: April 2021

O artigo apresenta uma abordagem dos principais pontos e contornos da formação de professores para os anos iniciais Moçambique e no Brasil. Tem como objetivo abordar suscintamente a proximidade entre dois países tendo em vista a garantia do acesso à educação das camadas populares, que vai ser caracterizado por um passado colonial bastante excludente e com uma infraestrutura educativa precária e inacessível a todos. As abordagens resultam de um levantamento bibliográfico, consulta a portais eletrônicos e normativos que amparam a política dos dois países. Assim, ainda que o passado dos dois países seja tão distante, os dados apontam para as primeiras iniciativas de institucionalização da formação docente nos meados do Século XX para Moçambique e um século antes para o Brasil. Nos dois casos, há uma relação direta com o processo de independência, o século XIX para o Brasil e XX para Moçambique.
A ESCOLA DE LA SALLE E A ESCOLA DE DEWEY: diálogos possíveis com a educação do século XXI
Authors: Ratto Cleber Gibbon , Jung Hildegard Susana , Maciel Patrícia Gusmão , Santin Solane Cristina Felicetti
Published: April 2021

João Batista de La Salle foi um indivíduo inovador para sua época, introduzindo maneiras diferentes de promover a educação escolar das crianças, bem como a forma de capacitar os professores que se dedicavam ao ensino dessas crianças. Anos mais tarde, surge John Dewey, com pensamentos similares, preocupado também com a formação dos professores e com formas inovadoras de promover a aprendizagem escolar dessa faixa etária. O objetivo do presente artigo consiste em suscitar o diálogo sobre possíveis aproximações e distanciamentos entre a escola idealizada por La Salle e a escola de John Dewey. A metodologia é de cunho qualitativo, caracterizando-se como uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Autores como Leubet, Tagliavini, Corbellini, Westbrook, Teixeira, Dewey, entre outros, bem como os documentos que norteiam a educação brasileira contemporânea, como a BNCC e a BNC- formação, colaboram com as reflexões desenvolvidas neste trabalho. Os resultados sinalizam que tanto La Salle como Dewey, em épocas diferentes, procuraram formas diversas de promover uma aprendizagem que fosse centrada na criança, pensando também na formação daqueles que viriam a trabalhar com esse público. Dessa forma, concluímos que os dois pensadores citados foram essenciais para o desenvolvimento da educação como ela se encontra atualmente, e também para a preocupação com a capacitação dos profissionais da educação, que mostra-se vital para que estes possam desenvolver um trabalho adequado e efetivo dos processos de ensino-aprendizagem, tão necessários para a qualificação da educação no século XXI.

ENSINO DE GRAMÁTICA NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: UM OLHAR REFLEXIVO SOBRE AS ABORDAGENS METODOLÓGICAS EM SALA DE AULA
Authors: Lima Francisco Renato , Barbosa Damarys Alves da Silva
Published: April 2021

O presente estudo discute sobre o ensino de gramática na Educação Básica e como ele pode ser desenvolvido diante das diferentes concepções teórico-metodológicas que sustentam as práticas de ensino da língua materna na escola. Aponta-se, diante desse cenário, para a possibilidade de ensinar gramática de forma reflexiva para o aluno, afastando-se da abordagem de ensino tradicional, de base estruturalista, que historicamente se assentou sobre os bancos escolares. Objetiva-se, com isso, neste estudo, realizar uma reflexão sobre o ensino da língua e de que maneira se deve passar o conceito de gramática para o aluno, sem menosprezar os outros tipos de linguagem que se distanciam da norma padrão, ou seja, ensinar a gramática de forma que o sujeito respeite e saiba se expressar diante das variações linguísticas face às diversas situações de uso da língua, desde as variedades cultas, consideradas padrão às variedades menos prestigiadas, consideradas informais. Metodologicamente, partiu-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de abordagem qualitativa, amparados pelos estudos de Antunes (2007), Bagno (2013), Geraldi (2012), Martelotta (2013), Neves (2002), Perini (2010), Travaglia (2009), entre outros. Essa compreensão sobre o processo de ensino de gramática se divide em duas partes, na primeira, busca-se compreender as diferentes abordagens metodológicas de ensino, como a tradicional, a cognitiva, dentre outras. Já na segunda, são analisadas as concepções de gramática, desde a normativa a cognitiva funcional. Por fim, são apresentados posicionamentos acerca da necessidade de adoção de uma metodologia de abordagem do ensino de gramática na Educação Básica, que mais se adequa a atual conjuntura social, apresentando as contribuições dessa perspectiva metodológica para o ensino de gramática.

A ASSISTÊNCIA ESTUDANTIL NO IFPR: A CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM OBJETO DE ESTUDO
Authors: Dias Maria Sara de Lima , Carvalho Evelyn Raquel
Published: April 2021

Apresenta-se o Programa Nacional de Assistência Estudantil (PNAES) e sua interface com o Instituto Federal do Paraná (IFPR). Optou-se por uma metodologia de pesquisa exploratória em base de dados, estes cotejados com autores pertinentes e análise qualitativa. Observou-se que o PNAES atende aos seus objetivos ao possibilitar a permanência na instituição para quantidade expressiva de estudantes, que, de outra forma, não teriam condições de prosseguir sua formação. Como desafios, apontam-se: as equipes interdisciplinares nos campi não são completas; a burocracia dificulta a compreensão de editais; as inscrições, virtualizadas, demandam conhecimento e equipamentos tecnológicos, ambos insuficientes; a execução do programa nos campi é centralizada e divulgada no formato de bolsas e auxílios econômicos, em detrimento de outras possibilidades de atendimento, como inclusão digital e apoio pedagógico. Ainda, cortes de orçamento impactam sua execução e colocam em risco o apoio à saúde, o auxílio transporte, a alimentação e inscrição em eventos científicos.

Published: April 2021

Este artigo tem por objetivo dialogar acerca da constituição da pesquisa que identificou as características socioeconômicas e educacionais dos discentes ingressantes em 2019 no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS). Como instituição pública seu processo seletivo contempla a reserva de vagas, porém além do ingresso há a preocupação em compreender os diferenciais que marcam a permanência e êxito, e por isso foi construído um diagnóstico refinado, a fim de analisar tais credenciais. Neste sentido, a metodologia é exploratório-descritiva, utilizando cem questões como técnica de coleta de dados. Os resultados permitem a constatação de dados genéricos institucionais, como também variáveis mais específicas com categorizações, e ainda a possibilidade de realizar comparativos, como: por campus, por modalidade, por turno, por curso. A partir destas respostas que demonstram uma realidade plural, há a possibilidade de planejar algumas medidas estratégicas para qualificar os processos de ensino-aprendizagem.

Relationship between human genetics and susceptibility to COVID-19 infection
Authors: Kaur Preetinder , Kaur Pawanjot
Published: April 2021

Recent studies have shown that the progression of SARS-CoV-2 is associated with human genetic factors. Many patients have shown diverse clinical symptoms based on their age, sex, ABO blood type, underlying medical conditions, HLA system, and viral variants found in their samples. SARS-CoV-2 is considered more transmissible with higher morbidity rates as compared to the previous SARS outbreak. Several case studies have supported the direct relation of cardiovascular and pulmonary fatalities related to ACE2 polymorphisms during COVID-19 infection. SARS-CoV-2 mutants and human genome polymorphisms are vital predictive markers in finding a cure for this pandemic. This review focuses on some of the critical genetic factors of the host that affect the array of immunological responses as a result of COVID-19 infection among individuals.

Different effective preventive measures were implemented to control the transmission of COVID-19. After the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in Pakistan, the government designed other effective protocols to fight against this zoonotic disease. This review highlighted the COVID-19 outbreak prevalence in Pakistan with their current scenario and the government response to combat the disease.
Bio-genesis and deregulation of circular ribonucleic acid and their role in human cancer
Authors: Mishra Rajakishore
Published: April 2021

RiboNucleic Acid (RNA) occupies the center position in the central dogma of molecular biology. These are the nucleotide with a ribose sugar and are found either in linear or circular form. The linear RNAs are of different types and include ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (t-RNA), small nuclear (snRNA) RNA, and very small/micro RNA (microRNAs). The circular (circRNA) RNA is a group of noncoding RNA, stable molecules, established recently and linked with the regulation of different genes, RNAs including microRNAs. The current understanding of these molecules suggests that these circRNAs are fairly conserved and show tissue-specific expression patterns. These molecules are connected with different pathogenic conditions and associated with verities of diseases, including cancer. CircRNAs are thus contributing to tumorigenesis, and these molecules show the potential to become future predictive biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and even can be targeted in personalized therapy. Hence, these bio-molecules will get exposed frequently, and their new cellular role will emerge, soon. This review outlines the current trend, limitations, and future potential of circRNA in cancer research.
CRISPR technology a silver lining in combating COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Shukla Ritesh Kumar , Rao N Venkat Appa
Published: April 2021

Technological advancements have trigged the research arena of life sciences. This has resulted not only in the co-evolution of science and technology but also in building up novel ways to tackle life threatening pandemic like situations. The use of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology in combating the recent COVID-19 pandemic is evidence to this. The technique was originally identified as a microbial adaptive immune system, in which the microbes use RNA-guided nucleases to cleave foreign genetic material. Subsequently, molecular biologists started harvesting this technique in accelerating the genetic engineering/ chimeric DNA methods. During COVID-19 outbreak, the scientists are trying to mould the CRISPR technology in the successful and rapid detection of the virus and also in the treatment of COVID- 19 infection. Thus the application of this technique comes as a ray of hope not only for fighting against COVID but also can be used as weapon for unseen future pandemics.
Het gebruik van opeenvolgende tijdelijke arbeidsrelaties in het universitair onderwijs: doorstaan de Nederlandse en de Vlaamse aanpak de toets aan de Europese regelgeving?

Het gebruik van opeenvolgende tijdelijke arbeidsrelaties in het universitair onderwijs: doorstaan de Nederlandse en de Vlaamse aanpak de toets aan de Europese regelgeving?

Atypische arbeidsvormen zijn in opmars. Tijdelijke arbeid, en een arbeidscontract voor bepaalde tijd in het bijzonder, is zo mogelijk de meest gekende vorm. In het onderwijs wordt veelvuldig gebruikgemaakt van dergelijke arbeidscontracten. De Europese sociale partners sloten eind vorige eeuw nochtans een Raamovereenkomst met als doel de kwaliteit van de arbeid voor bepaalde tijd te verbeteren en het misbruik van opeenvolgende arbeidsovereenkomsten voor bepaalde tijd te voorkomen. In deze bijdrage wordt zowel de Nederlandse als de Vlaamse regelgeving inzake het gebruik van opeenvolgende tijdelijke contracten aan de universiteiten getoetst aan de Europese regelgeving. Het voordeel van een dergelijke rechtsvergelijkende aanpak is dat het mogelijk nieuwe inzichten biedt, niet alleen voor de rechtswetenschapper, maar ook voor de rechtspractici. Het onderzoek vangt aan met een analyse van de Europese regelgeving aan de hand van de rechtspraak van het Hof van Justitie van de Europese Unie. Vervolgens worden de toepasselijke Nederlandse en Vlaamse reglementeringen besproken en geëvalueerd, waarna een algemene conclusie volgt.

De (niet-)ontvankelijkheid van het OM en het rechterlijk pardon

De Hoge Raad stelt hoge eisen aan de niet-ontvankelijkverklaring van het OM. De wetgever lijkt in de moderniseringsoperatie van het Wetboek van Strafvordering iets meer ruimte te willen geven voor situaties waarin de rechter al te grof is misleid, maar waarin door herstel van de vormverzuimen de waarheidsvinding niet wezenlijk is aangetast. Intussen lijken rechters soms middels een zogenaamd rechterlijk pardon (art. 9a Sr) verholen niet-ontvankelijkheid uit te spreken. Hoe zit dat?

Supporting ethical ICU nursing practice in organ donation: An analysis of personhood
Authors: Sorensen Stephanie , Sofronas Marianne , Hudson Helen , Wright David Kenneth
Published: April 2021

Organ donation is critical to the survival of thousands of people waiting for an organ transplant. While nurses take responsibility for patient and family comfort and quality of dying whenever patients die in the intensive care unit (ICU), organ donation presents unique challenges to these ideals. Critical care settings are essential for organ donation, where candidates for donation are identified, referred, stabilized, and maintained until organs can be retrieved. Nurses may feel challenged in completing organ donation-related tasks without forsaking values and practices that are typically associated with a palliative nursing approach and the achievement of a ‘good death’ in the ICU. Further, the moral uncertainty in this context could be increasing, given the advent of a new pathway for organ donation in ICU: medical assistance in dying (MAiD). In this paper, we reflect on the ethical meanings, challenges and possibilities of a good death in the context of organ donation in ICU nursing. We argue that personhood—as a conceptual frame to guide nursing practice—offers one way of reconciling seemingly disparate values and practices. To illustrate the importance of integrating this concept, we draw on real-life case studies from clinical ICU nursing. These examples showcase the emotional engagement and moral tension that nurses could experience when caring for people who occupy a liminal space between life and death. Ultimately, we hope this paper will inspire and support ethical reflection and action among ICU nurses caring for organ donors.
THE “TROJAN HORSE” PLOT AND THE FEAR OF MUSLIM POWER IN BRITISH STATE SCHOOLS
Authors: Abbas Tahir
Published: April 2021

In 2014, an alleged “Trojan Horse” plot to Islamise education in a number of schools attended predominantly by diverse Muslim pupils in the inner-city wards of Birmingham raised considerable questions. Ofsted investigations of 21 schools explored these concerns at the behest of the then Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove MP. At the head of this so-called plot, a certain Tahir Alam, once a darling of New Labour’s policies on British Muslim schools, faced the brunt of the media and political furore. Based on a series of face-to-face interviews with Alam in 2015 and 2016, this paper provides a detailed insight into the allegations, the context in which they emerged, and the implications raised for young Muslims in the education system. Ultimately, as part of the government’s counter-terrorism policy the accusations of the “Islamisation” of education in these “Trojan Horse” schools foreshadowed the additional securitisation of all sectors of education. However, there was neither the evidence nor the legal justification to ratchet up anti-extremism education measures that eventually followed; namely the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The consequences of the negative attention heightened existing Islamophobia but, paradoxically, they also limited the opportunities for de-radicalisation through education.

Human Behaviour Induced by Spatial Order
Authors: Raipat Vaidehi
Published: April 2021

Space truly becomes a place not merely because of the built and the unbuilt that design it, but also because of the way its users use it, behave around it, interact with it, and interact with each other in it. Space that surrounds every individual, in which an individual exists, interacts and performs, is known as “Human Space”. Organization of the Built environment around the users within their ‘human space’ is known as “Spatial Order” which is the key to formulation of non-verbal communication. Non verbal communication refers to the body language an individual adopts in order to convey a message to the fellow users of the space. This Non-verbal language subsequently becomes the basis of verbal communication that lays the foundation of Human Behavior within a particular spatial order.
Anti-Cancer and Cardiovascular Properties of Phenolic Compounds Present in Virgin Olive Oil
Authors: El Haouari Mohammed
Published: April 2021

Cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Furthermore, current cardiovascular and cancer therapy is accompanied by various side effects, which considerably reduce the quality of life. Epidemiological studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet has been related to a lower risk of non-communicable diseases such as CVD and cancer. This lower incidence has been partially attributed to the regular intake of virgin olive oil (VOO) which is the main fatty component of the traditional Mediterranean die. In addition to monounsaturated fatty acid, VOO contains various phenolic compounds, which have shown a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties due to their antioxidant activity. This chapter summarizes current knowledge on the effects of the main phenolic compounds isolated from VOO on different cancers and CVD as well as the plausible action mechanisms involved.
The Importance ofSceletium tortuosum(L.) N.E. Brown and Its Viability as a Traditional African Medicinal Plant
Authors: James Faber Richard , Petrus Laubscher Charles , Olaide Jimoh Muhali
Published: April 2021

Sceletium tortuosum is a succulent plant that belongs to the family Mesembryanthemaceae (Aizoaceae). It is indigenous to South Africa, where it is well known by the indigenous people, especially in Namaqualand where the plant is utilized regularly for its medicinal and psycho-active properties. The main alkaloids responsible for these properties are mesembrine, mesembrenine (mesembrenone), and mesembrenol. The potential of the plant to be an alternative supplement in the promotion of health and treating a variety of psychological and psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety has stimulated interest in its pharmacological property and possibility of its commercialization. The economic value of indigenous medicinal plants in South Africa is approximately US$60 000 000 or R4 000 000 000 annually. Thus, interest in the knowledge and use of Traditional African Medicinal Plants (TAMP) as well as meeting pharmacological and economic needs of ever-increasing human population has led to the commercialization of traditional African medicines at a fast rate. It was found that S. tortuosum has clear pharmaceutical and economical importance and is one of the only known plants to contain the alkaloids mesembrenone and mesembrine which can be utilized for the promotion of health and/or treating a variety of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Androgens’ Effects across the Lifespan in Men and Animal Models
Authors: A. Frye Cheryl , K. Torgersen Jennifer , F. Lembo Vincent , Drew Kelly
Published: April 2021

The clinical literature and recent studies in our laboratory using rodent models demonstrate that there are individual differences in androgens’ pleiotropic effects across the lifespan that need to be better understood. The question to address that challenges the field is that levels of androgens (current and/or prior) may not drive differing responses to androgens. The clinical example of Post-finasteride Syndrome, in which side-effects persist long after treatment is discontinued, supports investigations of this novel question relating to long-term effects of androgen manipulations, independent of existing levels of androgens.
Teamwork in Healthcare Management
Authors: Mach Mercè , C.M. Abrantes António , Soler Ceferí
Published: April 2021

Groups are pervasive in healthcare institutions and take on a variety of shapes. This paper uses a typology that allows us to understand the distinctive characteristics of team operations, based on interdependence and interactive dimensions. It looks at factors that influence team effectiveness in organizational settings. We review different frameworks that shed light in explaining the conditions that lead to group effectiveness. From the classical input-process-output (IPO) model to the input-mediator-output-input (IMOI) model of team effectiveness; the taxonomy of team process and emergent estates, as well as the teams understood as complex adaptive systems and also studied from the multiteam system perspective. We also report the need for more robust research designs to contribute to the field’s further advancement. There is consensus among scholars demanding further conceptual frameworks, as well as powerful research designs that capture process-oriented theory and research on team effectiveness. Some future directions and recommendations are suggested.

The Community Health Club (CHC) Model in Makoni District, Zimbabwe operated 265 CHCs with 11,600 members from 1999 to 2001 at a cost of US$0.63 per beneficiary per annum. A decade later, 48 CHCs were started in three districts in Vietnam with 2,929 members at a cost of US$1.30. Hygiene behaviour change was compared using a similar survey of observable proxy indicators in both projects, before and after intervention. In Vietnam there was a mean of 36% change in 16 observable proxy indicators (p > 0.001) which compared positively with Makoni where there was a mean of 23% hygiene change in 10 indicators (p > 0.001). In Vietnam, 8 Health Centers reported a reduction of 117 cases of diarrhoeal diseases in CHC communes, compared to only 24 in non-CHC communes in one year; in 8 Health Centers in Makoni, Zimbabwe, a reduction of 1,219 reported cases over a 2–9 year period was reported, demonstrating the efficacy of CHC both in African and Asian context. We suggest that regular government data of reported cases at clinics may be a more reliable method than self-reported diarrhoea by carers in clustered-Randomised Control Trials, which have surprised practitioners by finding negligible impact of WASH interventions on diarrhoea in rural communities.

Plasmodium vivax being the most geographically spread Plasmodium species is considered sparsely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) while P. falciparum is the most prevalent species in this region. Thus, control strategies in sSA have been disproportionately targeted towards falciparum malaria. Nevertheless, with the use of more sensitive malaria diagnostic platforms, there are more reports of P. vivax and other non-falciparum malaria in sSA. In addition, P. vivax is presumed benign, however there are new findings of severe cases recorded from P. vivax single or mixed infection with other Plasmodium species. Besides, the extended dormant period (lasting for weeks or months) is a challenge for achieving effective cure for vivax infections. Although, chloroquine has been proscribed for treatment P. falciparum, it still remains the drug of choice for P. vivax in most Asian countries where it is predominant. In sSA, artemisinin combination-based therapies (ACTs) are used for treatment of falciparum malaria and, it is probable that the use of ACT could be enhancing adaptive selection for P. vivax in the face of its increasing prevalence in the population. Hence, understanding epidemiological and biological factors, and data that could be contributing to the observed steady increase in P. vivax prevalence in sSA is important. In this chapter, we discuss the mechanisms for invasion of red blood cells, trends in increasing prevalence of vivax malaria, diagnostic tools, and the public health implications of P. vivax and P. falciparum co-endemicity in Africa.
Low Melting Mixture of L-(+)-Tartaric Acid and N,N′-Dimethyl Urea: A New Arrival in the Green Organic Synthesis
Authors: Ali Rashid
Published: April 2021

After the first report of deep eutectic mixtures by the team of Abbott in 2003, the advent of green synthesis has been progressively changing the way synthetic chemistry is thought and also taught. Since then, a plethora of efforts worldwide have been taken to stretch the ideas of sustainable as well as environmentally benign approaches to do the crucial synthetic organic transformations under operationally simple yet effective conditions. Although, till date, several green synthetic strategies for examples ultrasound, microwaves, flow as well as grindstone chemistry etc., and green reaction media (e.g. ionic liquid, water, scCO2, and so forth) have successfully been invented. But a low melting mixture of L-(+)-tartaric acid (TA) and N,N′-dimethylurea (DMU), usually plays a double and/or triple role (solvent, catalyst, and/or reagent), though still infancy but enjoys several eye-catching properties like biodegradability, recyclability, non-toxicity, good thermal stability, tunable physiochemical properties, low vapor pressure as well as reasonable prices in addition to the easy preparation with wide functional groups tolerance. To this context, keeping the importance of this novel low melting mixture in mind, we intended to reveal the advancements taken place in this wonderful area of research since its first report by the Köenig’s group in 2011 to till date. In this particular chapter, firstly we would disclose the importance of the green synthesis followed by a brief description of deep-eutectic solvents (DESs) particularly emphasizing on the role of L-(+)-TA and DMU from modern synthetic chemistry perspective.

Bacterial diseases of goats can cause huge economical loss to the farmers. Due to intensification of goat farming and poor hygienic practices there is increase in the number of bacterial diseases that affect the goats. Diseases like tuberculosis, Johne’s disease and Brucellosis are chronic diseases that may be identified in the initial stages of infection during which they spread to other animals. Similarly, brucellosis, tuberculosis and also anthrax are zoonotic diseases hence due consideration has to be provided while handling animals suspected for these diseases. Use of vaccine before onset of the disease in endemic areas can prevent the disease outbreak and spread to other naïve population. Good hygienic practices and biosecurity measures at farm are essential to prevent disease spread. The present chapter deals with various bacterial diseases affecting goats and its preventive measures. This chapter can be a guide to field veterinarians, students and farmers as it highlights the important bacterial diseases of goats.
Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Published: April 2021

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycaemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. Diabetes affects many systems and produces complications in the human body, in those complications one is diabetic central neuropathy. The pathological mechanisms involved in the central neuropathy include chronic hyperglycaemia, hypoglycaemic episodes, angiopathy and blood–brain barrier dysfunction. Diabetic central neuropathy is detected by using of brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER), Visual evoked potential (VEP), somatosensory evoked potential (SEP). These abnormalities are present at different levels and may appear before appearance of overt complications. The central nervous system abnormalities are more frequent in patients with peripheral neuropathy but evoked potentials can be abnormal even in patients without neuropathy. The BAER is a physiological recording technique to study the auditory pathway and does not require subject’s attention and generates waves during the first 10 ms after the sound stimulus. Each BAER wave is generated by the activation of a sub-cortical component of the auditory pathway with 90% sensitivity and 70–90% of specificity.
Project approach in transboundary tourism-and-recreation region building: the case of Karelia
Authors: Kondrateva Svetlana V.
Published: April 2021

This article considers international projects as a factor in building and developing transboundary tourism-and-recreation regions. The Karelian part of the Russian-Finnish border and the adjoining areas of Russia and Finland were the model site for the study. The research aims to measure the contribution of international projects run in 1990—2020 to transboundary region building in the Karelian borderlands. The analysis of 80 international municipal projects shows that they gave a boost to region building and development in the study area. Common trends and specific features of international projects carried out in Karelian municipalities have been identified in the context of transboundary tourism-and-recreation region building. The findings add to a comprehensive picture of how international tourism projects may forward the building and development of transboundary tourism-and-recreation regions. The results of the study can be used in research into international cooperation and tourism. The proposed approach may serve as a tool of a regional economic policy on tourism and thus broaden the scope of possible managerial decisions.
The transition process and institutions: on the issue of the standard of living in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe — members of the European Union
Authors: Pilipenko Igor V.
Published: April 2021

The aim of this article is to adjust the technique of comparing the standard of living in 11 countries of Central and Eastern Europe that became members of the European Union (EU) during 2004-2013 (EU-11) and 15 countries of Western, Northern and Southern Europe – member states of the EU by 1995 (EU-15). We reveal that outright home ownership in the EU-11 countries exceeds on average 75%, while almost two-thirds of households in the EU-15 countries have a mortgage or pay rent spending on housing on average up to one quarter of their income. Despite 30 years of transition to a market economy, the EU-11 countries largely inherited such home ownership structure from the centrally planned economy institutions, i.e. individually-owned and cooperative housing, as well as subsidized state-owned housing stock that became the private property of tenants at the start of market reforms. We propose a technique of taking into account households’ income and housing costs (mortgage and rent) in one indicator given the current home ownership structure in an economy. After the purchasing power parity (PPP) adjustment, our calculations reveal that the standard of living disparities between the EU-11 and EU-15 states are less significant than when compared at nominal prices or PPP alone. Moreover, the disparity in average living standards between these two groups of countries turns out to be narrower than cross-regional differences within seven EU member states at the Eurostat’s NUTS 2 level.
Holder Norsk politiutdanning mål (slik politiet selv vurderer den)?

AbstractThe Norwegian Police University College is required to regularly evaluate and ensure the quality of the education in order to maintain its accreditation as an institution of higher education. A central aspect of this quality control is to make sure that the education is relevant for the field of practice and the policing profession. The Police University College has therefore on three occasions since 2006 sent out a survey to police officers three years after graduation and asked them to evaluate the relevance of the education in general, and more specifically to evaluate their own qualifications in different areas of competence. A similar questionnaire was sent to the supervisors of the post-graduates to get a broader comparative perspective.

The overarching aim of this article is to find out to what degree newly educated police officers and their leaders perceive the police education to provide a sufficient preparation for the police profession. To shed light on this question we will present and analyse data from the “quality surveys” mentioned above, but mainly from the 2015 survey. Overall, the findings presented in the article suggest thatboth the newly educated police officers and their leaders generally perceive the education to provide a sufficient preparation for the police profession. However, the leaders tend to give a better score than the newly educated police officers both overall and on specific qualification. Moreover, when looking into specific areas of competences we find that both groups tend to give the lowest scores on physical and operational qualifications such as use of firearms. A discussion of possible causes and implications of the findings is included in the article.
