Authors: Neupokoeva Anna , Gavrilov Dmitry , Yakutin Andrey
Published: August 2021

This paper focuses on studying the impact of laser irradiation ( = 532 nm, power 15 mW) on human blood plasma. The structural changes in plasma were controlled by the crystallographic method with the mean crystallogram segment size as a numerical evaluation. In addition, the structural changes were explored by processing the speckle patterns obtained during laser radiation passes through plasma. Exposure to laser radiation of  = 532 nm for 20 min resulted in the 30% reduced the crystallogram characteristic size with the dynamics of the structural changes coinciding with the dynamics discovered by speckle patterns processing. The crystallographic method revealed that laser induced structural changes in plasma remain for 24–36 h after exposure.

Published: August 2021

The current approaches to cancer treatment, including surgery and high-energy beam irradiation, do not always give satisfactory results for a number of oncological neoplasms. One of the promising areas in oncology is the use of nanoparticles selectively heated by external action as agents for hyperthermia of some types of tumors. In this work, we performed selective heating of suspensions of silicon nanoparticles using a device for electromagnetic high-frequency therapy (UHF-60).

Authors: Do Tung Thanh , Belikov Andrey , Semyashkina Yulia
Published: August 2021

Using quartz fiber with titanium-containing optothermal fiber converter (TOTFC) is promising in endovenous laser coagulation (EVLA) for the treatment of varicose veins. This study aims to research the variation in the optical properties of TOTFC as its microstructure changes under the condition that TiO2 spheres inside converter are arranged in such a way that the Mie theory approximation can be applied. The absorbance efficiency of laser energy with 980 nm and 1470 nm wavelengths for TOTFC has been calculated. Optical multidimensional simulation for the EVLA process was developed and calculated. The optimal ranges of microstructure’s parameters for TOTFC in the EVLA process were discussed.

Published: August 2021

Chamaecytisus albus (Spanish broom) is a legume shrub that can be found in only one natural locality in Poland. This specimen is critically endangered; therefore, different actions focusing on protection of this plant in the natural habitat are undertaken, and one of them involves studies of the population of Chamaecytisus albus bacterial endophytes, which in the future could be used as bioprotectants and/or biofertilizers. A collection of 94 isolates was obtained from Spanish broom nodules, and the physiological and genetic diversity of these strains was studied. A few potentially beneficial traits were detected, i.e. secretion of cellulases (66 isolates), production of siderophores (60 isolates), phosphate solubilization (25 isolates), and production of IAA (58 isolates), indole (16 isolates), or HCN (3 isolates). Twenty-nine of the 94 tested isolates were able to induce the development of root nodules in plants grown in vitro and can therefore be assumed as Chamaecytisus albus symbionts. Genome fingerprinting by BOX-PCR, as well as gyrB and nodZ gene sequencing revealed a great genetic diversity of specimens in the collection. The symbiotic isolates were classified in different clades, suggesting they could belong to different species, however, most of them revealed sequence similarity to Bradyrhizobium genus.

Authors: Dolatabadi Somayeh , Najafzadeh Mohammad Javad
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Although, Rhizopus species, are the main causative agents of mucormycosis, we know a little about these pathogens. We investigated the virulence potential of Rhizopus arrhizus and R. microsporus strains, obtained from a wide selection of clinical and environmental sources, in Galleria mellonella larvae and a mice model.
Methods: In this experiment, a total of 26 strains, 13 for each species of R. microsporus, R. arrhizus were tested in larvae with final concentration of 106/ml per strain. Eight strains were tested in mice model. Inoculated samples were monitored in insect larvae for 6 days and in mice for 14 days. Statistical data were performed using Graphpad Prism software (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA). Survival data of the samples were plotted using Kaplen-Meyer diagrams and analyzed using log rank test P value was considered 0.05%.
Results: R. arrhizus showed higher virulence compare to R. microsporus in both models. No specific difference was seen in pathogenicity between the two varieties of R. arrhizus. Virulence was not affected by source of isolation or production of toxin in some strains of R. microsporus. Virulence pattern was similar in both models.
Conclusion: Considering the mortality rate which was happened with strains from environmental sources, we conclude that these fungi have an opportunistic nature, which make them pathogen in susceptible hosts in favorite conditions. Larvae model showed reliable results compare to mice model.

Authors: ACEVEDO VALENCIA JENNY MARCELA , RAMÍREZ OSORIO YULY ANDREA
Published: August 2021

La exclusión de las mujeres en el ejercicio de la ciudadanía, lejos de ser accidental, ha sido parte integral de las tradiciones históricas y ha condicionado el modo en que las mujeres se integran en la vida pública. En la Edad Moderna, con la llegada del pensamiento liberal y sus ideas de progreso, libertad e igualdad, las mujeres comenzaron a cuestionar el orden establecido y a organizarse para reclamar sus derechos, así emprendieron un largo camino político que trescientos años después continúa en construcción. Este artículo proviene de una investigación documental cualitativa y presenta un barrido histórico acerca del concepto de ciudadanía desde los aportes de la ciencia política y las perspectivas feministas. En los resultados, se identifica reflexiones frente a la manera tradicional de entender el espacio público-privado, además, aquellos elementos como los discursos, las prácticas y las relaciones sociales que integran esta categoría.
The Effect of Exchange Rate Risk on Foreign Trade
Authors:   Associate Lector Ph.D.,“PetreAndrei” University of  Iasi, Romania, MATEESCU Petronela
Published: August 2021

This paper explores the effect of exchange rate volatility on international trade flows of European Union Member States by applying a model of a monthly balance panel between 2002 and 2017.Starting from a general modified weighted model, we added some control variable to measure the good governance.After a general analysis of all the European Union countries, we focus on the response of the trade on different partner regions, or various trade goods. By using country fixed effect model, we find that there is an adverse effect of the exchange rate volatility on trade flows for the European Union countries with small differences depending on partner region or the type of the goods trade. Regarding the Governance Indicators we obtain different results, most of them having negative effect but with different statistically significance.

Published: August 2021

A small garrison of the British Royal Navy was swallowed up by the superior forces of a much larger nation in just a few hours. This may be the title of a report from the beginning of April 1982. The impact of Operation Rosario on the international arena and the evolution of the conflict was much more complex and had major repercussions on maintaining world peace. Why Argentina chose to invade the Falkland Islands and what caused the "spark" of the conflict to erupt at alarming levels, are questions whose answers you can find in this article. The Battle of Stanley was one of the most unequal armed actions between two states during the 20th century and drew a small group of South Atlantic islands to the attention of the whole world.

Published: August 2021

This article presents the synthesis of a research aimed to identify the relevance of emotional intelligence and attitude towards work in relation to the professional integration of people with disabilities. We analyzed the employment status in the labor market and the education level in order to diagnose the extent to which these two factors can increase the degree of insertion. As a result of the statistical analysis, both in terms of emotional intelligence and attitude towards work, we found that there are no significant differences between the dependent variables. In this context, we believe that all people with disabilities have an equal chance at a professional life and to integrate into society. Education for self-knowledge, the development of professional and social skills, as well as the realization of individualized programs of professional integration are a necessity for people with disabilities.

The psychosocial climate has a great variety of definitions, this being due to the different point of view from which it is approached: pragmatic, affective, normative, structural. In the psychosociological literature in our country, the definitions proposed for this concept are mostly focused on the attitudinal-emotional aspect of this phenomenon and consequently they generally have many notes in common. Organizational and managerial theories have largely begun with the discovery of the importance of people and the socio-human climate for the efficient functioning of companies. Through multiple analyzes and research, the dynamics of the human factor in the organization and management was configured. From the beginning we must distinguish two universes within any organization. On the one hand, machines and technology, the market and production flows, productivity and competitiveness of products representing a distinct universe of corporations, on the other hand, the other universe, as significant as the first, represented by individual people and relationships among them, the knowledge that people store, produce and apply, the values they adhere to, the myths they generate. Therefore, we have two distinct and at the same time complementary universes: one technological and the other human. The technological universe can be changed easily and quickly. It is rational and visible. The cultural universe, however, is much less transparent, it mixes rationalities in different combinations, which only those who participate directly can understand. Leadership is also a field of research and a practical skill that encompasses the ability of an individual or organization to "lead" or guide other people, teams, or an entire organization. Leadership viewed from a European and non-academic perspective includes a vision of a leader that can be changed not only through community goals but also through the pursuit of personal power. Leadership can result from a combination of several factors. A leadership style is the style of a leader to provide direction, implement plans and motivate people. It is the result of the leader's philosophy, personality and experience.

Published: August 2021

We present an analysis of the connotative potential of macrotoponyms Asia, America, Europe, China, Russia, whose emotional-evaluative connotations form a fragment of the value world picture of modern native speakers of the Russian language. The purpose of the undertaken research is to find out onymic and postonymic connotations of the onyms which have taken shape under the influence of political, economical and cultural factors in the Russian society for the last three decades. To evaluate these connotations we analyze the contextual usage of the studied onyms in connotative usage in texts of mass media and journalism. We determine the dynamic of the research macrotoponyms connotations in the designated period. We identify persistent connotations of research toponyms, connotations which are losing their relevance and connotation which are forming last several years. This indicates the mobility of the language consciousness of native speakers of the Russian language, also this shows that this or that connotative meaning of onym is relevant in a certain period of time. An interesting fact is that by macrotoponyms Europe and America positive connotations are replaced by negative connotations. Toponyms Asia, China and toponyms China, Russia has synonymous connotations. Connotations of toponym Europe are often contrasted with connotations of toponym Russia. The obtained results can be used by the lexicographic description of the research connotative toponyms.
Regional toponymy: toponymic system commonality of the Smolensk-Vitebsk borderland
Authors: Koroleva Inna A.
Published: August 2021

The issues of studying regional toponymic vocabulary are currently among the priority areas of onomastic research. The particular interest is the consideration of borderland toponymic systems, since the base of toponyms that exist in border zones contain voluminous linguocultural information that reflects the interaction of languages and cultures of neighboring ethnic groups. We analyze a fragment of Smolensk-Vitebsk borderland toponymic system, a territory that historically reflects the commonality of Russian and Belarusian peoples, their languages and cultures. We describe in detail the names of settlements (oikonyms), marked on both sides of the state border. We consider their frequency, distribution by lexico-semantic groups, toponyms etymology, the presence of toponyms in lexicographic sources. Based on a comprehensive analysis of common geographical names, we prove that the commonality of toponymic systems fragment, Russian (Smolensk) and Belarusian (Vitebsk), generated by historical and geographical unity, also testifies to the deep historical commonality of two peoples – Russian and Belarusian, as well as Eastern Slavs in the whole. The material is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
The concept of “Mental activity” as a component of the hero's linguistic personality in the novel by I.A. Bunin’s “Life of Arseniev”
Authors: Dubova Marina A.
Published: August 2021

The work analyzes the concept of “Mental activity” as a component of the linguistic personality of a child during his infancy and early childhood on the linguistic material of the first book of the autobiographical novel by I.A. Bunin’s “Life of Arseniev”. Thus, the subject of the research is the linguo-cognitive model of the concept of “Mental activity” with a core and a system of peripheral means. Cognitive activity as a component of the characteristics of a linguistic personality occupies an important place in cognitive linguistics. Thus, the relevance of the presented article lies in the appeal to the phenomenon of the linguistic personality of the character of a work of art, the problem of its typology and method of description. The purpose of the article is to identify and then analyze the lexical means of representing the concept of “Mental activity” and its func-tioning in the novel based on statistical, descriptive methods and the method of conceptual analy-sis. In the conclusions reached by the author of the article, it is substantiated that the mental activity of a child reflects the specifics of his age and intellectual development, the characteristics of his environment, the socio-economic and cultural-historical conditions in which he grows up, is associated with the communicative strategies of his linguistic personality. The materials of the article can find practical application in university courses on textual criticism, cognitive linguistics, and linguistic text analysis.
‘Fear’ and ‘laughter’ of F.M. Dostoevsky
Authors: Ruzhitsky Igor V.
Published: August 2021

The work uses the materials of the Dostoevsky’s Language Dictionary argues the key function of idioglossas fear and laughter in F.M. Dostoevsky thesaurus. Thus, the main method of the research is the lexicographic parametrization of the author’s lingual identity. The relevance of the topic being developed is the need for further search of the methods for reconstructing the lingual identity, specifically – the lingual identity of Dostoevsky. These idioglossas are the centers of the corresponding textual semantic fields, which are undoubtedly interconnected with each other in the writer’s worldview. The work presents statistical data on the use of the words fear and laughter in the texts of Dostoevsky and other writers, his contemporaries. The list of laugh situa-tions in the texts of Dostoevsky, proposed by Y.N. Karaulov and Y.L. Ginzburg, is broaden, for example, the laugh intention can be the desire to hide by the character some moral standards denial, the compensatory function of laugh, etc. We analyze the attributive relationships of the words laughter and fear emphasizing the idioglossary status of these words. It is concluded that the basis of Dostoevsky lingual identity is first of all Homo Ridens – “man laughing”. In addition, the analysis of dictionary entries fear, scary, fearfully, etc. of Dostoevsky’s Language Dictionary allows us to fix the reasons for the appearance of fear in Dostoevsky’s characters and of the author himself, the most important of which are uncertainty and randomness. This conclusion seems quite reasonable and does not contradict the results of the most studies of Dostoevsky’s language and creativity.
Gallipoli poet N.V. Stanyukovich’s collection “From the ashes”: image-motive structure
Authors: Kopyryulin Stanislav V.
Published: August 2021

We consider the structure of unrenowned poetry collection “From the ashes” (1929) by undeservedly forgotten Gallipoli poet N.V. Stanyukovich. The relevance of the study is due to the need to address little-known phenomenon of the Russian literature abroad – writers’ creative activity in the Gallipoli camp of the Russian Army of Baron P.N. Wrangel in 1920–1921. The purpose of the study is to examine the features of image-motive structure of the collection “From the ashes” by N.V. Stanyukovich. Based on the use of biographical, structural-typological, cultural-historical approaches, we analyze the image-motive dominants of the collection “From the ashes”, which include the motives of war, death, life, fate, homesickness, hearts, creativity, images of the steppe, graves , war horse, train station, etc. We pay attention on the fact how N.V. Stanyukovich uses sound, color, compositional, rhythmic techniques in his works, which testifies to the maturity of the writer’s creative manner. We suggest that the Gallipoli sitting became the most tragic page in N.V. Stanyukovich’s life, despite the fact that it contributed to the beginning of his creative career. After the collection “From the ashes”, poet avoids Gallipoli theme, although military problems remain relevant.

A maioria dos usuários era do sexo feminino, adultos, com maior procura por alterações cabeça e pescoço e provenientes do próprio local de atendimento. Metade não tinha experiência prévia com acupuntura e a maioria esperava que a acupuntura resolveria seu problema. Entre 2007 e 2018, 12 acupunturistas acompanharam o desenvolvimentos dos cursos de extensão e 31 alunos se inscreveram para cursá-lo, dos quais 2 fizeram pós graduação na área. Desde o primeiro curso de extensão em 2007 os atendimentos com acupuntura da população propiciou aquisição de habilidades por parte dos alunos e dos prestadores de serviço voluntário, bem como proveu atenção aos pacientes que procuraram o serviço e  confiavam na solução do problema, tendo assim os cursos de extensão um impacto positivo sobre os alunos dos cursos, a população atendida e a universidade.

[English]: This study aims to examine and compare students’ level of statistical thinking with different cognitive styles (Field-dependent, FD and Field-independent, FI) in solving mathematical problems. It is descriptive qualitative research involving 31 ninth-graders given the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) to determine their cognitive styles. From the results of GEFT, four students with two cognitive styles and high mathematics ability were selected as participants. A test and interviews were administered for data collection. The test was analyzed based on the level of statistical thinking indicators, and the interview results were used to confirm and explore the students' statistical thinking. The results of data analysis revealed that in representing data, both FI and FD students are at transitional level. In other stages of statistical thinking: describing data display, organizing and reducing data, analyzing and interpreting data, FD students reach a quantitative level meanwhile FI students are at an analytical level. Indeed, students with FI cognitive style have a higher level of statistical thinking than FD students. This finding shows that characteristics of students with FI, for example, being more analytic, support the achievement of better levels of statistical thinking.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang melibatkan 31 siswa kelas 9. Siswa tersebut diberikan Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) untuk menentukan gaya kognitif. Selanjutnya, dipilih 4 siswa pada kedua gaya kognitif dengan kemampuan matematika tinggi. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes dan wawancara. Hasil tes dianalisis berdasarkan indikator level berpikir statistik dan hasil wawancara dianalisis untuk mengonfirmasi dan menggali lebih dalam berpikir statistik siswa. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa dalam menyajikan data, siswa FD dan FI berada pada level transisional. Pada tiga tahap berpikir statistik lain; menjelaskan sajian data, mengatur dan mengurangi data, menganalisis dan menerjemahkan data, siswa FD berada pada level kuantitatif sedangkan siswa FI berada pada level analitik. Dalam hal ini, siswa dengan gaya kognitif FI memiliki level berpikir statistik yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa FD. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik siswa dengan gaya kognitif FI, misalnya cenderung lebih analitis dibandingkan FD, mendukung capaian level berpikir statistik yang lebih baik.

A single farmed fish species assimilates about 20% of the nutrients in the supplied diet. This study evaluated if the culture of complementary ecological-function species can recover nutrients dispersed into the water and transform them into high-valued biomass. A completely randomized experiment was designed with three treatments and four replications of each production system: monoculture of lambari (Astyanax lacustris); integrated aquaculture of lambari and Amazon river prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum); and integrated aquaculture of lambari, Amazon river prawn, and curimbatá (Prochilodus lineatus). Fingerlings of lambari (0.8 ± 0.8 g) were stocked in twelve earthen-ponds (0.015 ha) at the density of 50 fish m-2. Eight ponds, were stocked with juveniles of Amazon river prawn (1.1 ± 0.2 g) at the density of 25 prawn m−2. Four of these eight ponds were stocked with curimbatá fingerlings (0.2 ± 0.1 g) at a density of 13 fish m-². Only lambari was fed twice a day with an extruded commercial diet. The experiment lasted 60 days when lambari attained commercial size. The inclusion of prawn increased the total species yield from 1.8 to 2.4 t ha-1 cycle-1 and reduced the feed conversion ratio (FCR) from 2.5 to 1.8. The inclusion of prawn and curimbatá increased the total yield to 3.2 t ha-1 cycle-1 and reduced the FCR to 1.4. Therefore, the integrated culture of lambari, prawn, and curimbatá improves the use of space, water, feed, and benthic species can recover the large quantity of nutrients accumulated in the bottom of lambari pond production, converting them into high-nutritional and monetary-valued biomass.
Density-based Descriptors of Redox Reactions Involving Transition Metal Compounds as a Reality-anchored Framework: A Perspective
Authors: Koch Daniel , Chaker Mohamed , Ihara Manabu , Manzhos Sergei
Published: August 2021

Description of redox reactions is critically important for understanding and rational design of materials for electrochemical technologies including metal-ion batteries, catalytic surfaces, or redox-flow cells. Most of these technologies utilize redox-active transition metal compounds due to their rich chemistry and their beneficial physical and chemical properties for these types of applications. A century since its introduction, the concept of formal oxidation states (FOS) is still widely used for rationalization of the mechanisms of redox reactions, but there exists a well-documented discrepancy between FOS and the electron density-derived charge states of transition metal ions in their bulk and molecular compounds. We summarize our findings and those of others which suggest that density-driven descriptors are in certain cases better suited to characterize the mechanism of redox reactions, especially when anion redox is involved, which is the blind spot of the FOS ansatz.
Study of Biosorption and Desorption Process of Cu (II), Cr (VI), Pb (II) and Zn (II) Ions by Using Peels of Citrus aurantifolia
Authors: Begum Baby Abrarunnisa
Published: August 2021

Heavy metal pollution in the aquatic water bodies via the discharge of various toxic heavy metals from industrial effluents has been a major concern in the present era. Various physical and chemical processes are available to solve this problem of heavy metal pollution. Biosorption is considered as a potential alternative for the removal of heavy metals from waste waters as compared to other conventional processes. In the present work, biosorption of Cu(II), Cr(VI), Pb(II) and Zn(II) ions from aqueous solutions was carried out by using peels of Citrus aurantifolia. The peels were found to be efficient in the biosorption of all four metal ions under study. The biosorption process was found to be influenced by factors like contact time, temperature, pH, turbidity as well as biosorbent dose. Further, the change in characteristics of Citrus aurantifolia after biosorption process was studied by using E-SEM, EDAX and FT-IR analysis. The adsorption isotherm studies revealed that Freundlich isotherm model showed better fir to experimental data as compared to Langmuir isotherm model. The results were found to be significant statistically. The regeneration of biosorbent was carried out by desorption study by using certain eluents.
Biophysical and Biochemical Attributes of Hybrid Epithelial/Mesenchymal Phenotypes

Published: August 2021

The Epithelial- Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is a biological phenomenon associated with explicit phenotypic and molecular changes in cellular traits. Unlike the earlier-held popular belief of it being a binary process, EMT is now thought of as a landscape including diverse hybrid E/M phenotypes manifested by varying degrees of the transition. These hybrid cells can co-express both epithelial and mesenchymal markers and/or functional traits, and can possess the property of collective cell migration, enhanced tumor-initiating ability, and immune/targeted therapy-evasive features, all of which are often associated with worse patient outcomes. These characteristics of the hybrid E/M cells have led to a surge in studies that map their biophysical and biochemical hallmarks that can be helpful in exploiting their therapeutic vulnerabilities. This review discusses recent advances made in investigating hybrid E/M phenotype(s) from diverse biophysical and biochemical aspects by integrating live cell-imaging, cellular morphology quantification and mathematical modeling, and highlights a set of questions that remain unanswered about the dynamics of hybrid E/M states.

Universities fulfill the mission of carrying out teaching, research and extension based on a recognition of education as an instrument of social transformation. In this sense, public institutions are being increasingly charged for the efficiency and effectiveness of their actions. From this context, evaluation mechanisms emerge to measure effectiveness and assign concepts to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). From the recognition of the instruments that recommend the institutional evaluation in Brazil, the mention of the planning actions, the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) becomes strategic, and in this it is observed as an indicator to be inserted, the accompaniment of graduates of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The objective of the research is to identify the actions and goals foreseen in the IDPs of Brazilian federal universities in the Southeast region to follow up their graduates. The development of this work was through the qualitative approach with documentary research, by searching the university websites for the available institutional information. The results point to two distinct contexts, in which most of the researched institutions inserted in their macro-document the theme, one group aims to implement the policy and another group intends to advance to other follow-up stages, since it is a policy already institutionalized.
