Published: March 2021

Os cambios que se produciron no sector das oficinas de farmacia reduciron sensiblementeos ingresos e os beneficios obtidos coa venda de medicamentos con receita. Isto obrigouaos farmacéuticos a cambiar a forma de xestionar o seu negocio, baseada en “despachar”menciñas, para adoptar unha actitude máis activa fundamentada na aplicación dastécnicas de merchandising co obxectivo de incrementar a venda libre (produtos deparafarmacia e especialidades farmacéuticas publicitarias), e depender menos dosmedicamentos con receita.Nesta investigación analízase a importancia que dentro destas técnicas comerciais,desempeña o deseño exterior do punto de venda como estratexia que anima aospotenciais clientes a entrar no establecemento comercial, e polo tanto aumentar aposibilidade de que os consumidores adquiran os produtos incluídos na carteira deprodutos da farmacia. En particular, analízase a influencia que a fachada, os letreiros, acruz, a porta de entrada e o escaparate teñen na venda libre da farmacia.of prescription drugs have been significantly reduced. That is why pharmacists have tochange the way in which they run their business, based on dispensing prescription drugs,in order to adopt a more active attitude based on the application of merchandisingtechniques in order to increase the sales of over-the-counter drugs (parapharmaceuticalproducts and advertising pharmaceutical specialties), so they are able to be lessdependent on the prescription drugs. This study analyzes the importance of outdoordesign as a strategy to encourage potential customers to go inside the commercialestablishment; and thus increase the possibility for consumers to purchase the productsincluded in the pharmacy product portfolio. In particular, the influence of the façade, thepharmacy sign, the pharmacy cross, the front door and the shop window, on the sales ofover-the-counter drugs of the pharmacy is analyzed.

Published: March 2021

In order to achieve that goal, the study presents theoretical and econometricframework for an economic model that includes the determinants of inflation wherecurrent account deficit is one of them. The study finds out that the increase in currentaccount deficit affects domestic inflation negatively in the long run. This result would beattributed to the fact that current account deficit absorbs big part of the excess in thedomestic demand, in addition to the long run flexibility of the economy to producesubstitutes for imported goods. However, in the short run, it was found that currentaccount deficit affects domestic inflation positively. It was found that for this period thereis no enough flexibility for the Jordanian economy to produce enough goods to substituteimports, which leads to inflation.

Published: March 2021

The question of the difference mesh refinement degree influence on the results of calculation of the three-dimensional viscous gas flows in the flow parts of turbomachines using the RANS flow models and second order numerical methods is considered. Calculations of flows for a number of turbine and compressor grids on successively refining grids have been performed. We used H-type grids with approximate orthogonalization of cells in the boundary layer. The calculations were carried out using a CFD solver F with the use of an implicit ENO scheme of the second order, a local time step, and a simplified multigrid algorithm. When calculating the flow on fine grids, the following were used: convergence acceleration tools implemented in the solver; truncation of the computational domain with subsequent distribution of the results based on the symmetry property; the computational domain splitting into parts and computations parallelizing. Comparison of the obtained results is carried out, both in terms of qualitative resolution of the complex structure of three-dimensional flows, and in terms of quantitative assessment of losses. Grid convergence was estimated in two ways. In the first, the characteristic two-dimensional distributions of parameters obtained on different grids were visually compared. The purpose of such comparisons was to evaluate the sufficient degree of solution of both the general structure of the flow in grids and its features, namely, shock waves, contact discontinuities, separation zones, wakes, etc. The second estimation method is based on the grid convergence index (GCI). The GCI calculated from the three-dimensional density field was considered in this paper. It is concluded that for scientific research requiring high accuracy of calculations and detailing of the structure of a three-dimensional flow, very fine difference meshes with the number of cells from 106 to 108 in one blade-to-blade channel are needed, while for engineering calculations, under certain conditions, it is sufficient to use meshes with the number of cells less than 1 million in one blade-to-blade channel.
Optimal Design of Single-Layered Reinforced Cylindrical Shells
Authors:   State Higher Educational Institution Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Filatov Heorhii V.
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses the application of the random search method for the optimal design of single-layered reinforced cylindrical shells operating in a neutral environment. When setting a mathematical programming problem, the minimum shell weight is considered as an objective function. The critical stresses are determined according to the linear theory in the elastic region of the material. As the constraints imposed on the feasible region, the constraints on the strength, general buckling and partial buckling of a shell are accepted. The aim of this paper is to study the weight efficiency of various types of shell reinforcements and the influence of an optimum-weight shell on the parameters of an axially-compressed one. A numerical experiment was carried out. Dependencies of shell weight, wall thickness, and reinforcement parameters on the magnitude of a compressive load were investigated for shells with different types of reinforcement. As a result of the numerical experiment performed, it was found that with an increase in compressive load magnitude, there is a tendency to an increase in the wall thickness of an optimal shell, with an increase in the thickness of longitudinal stiffeners (stringers) and a slight decrease in the number of ribs. In addition, it should be noted that the general case of buckling and the first special one turned out to be decisive in choosing optimal shell parameters.
THE MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN HUNGARY BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS – THE CHALLENGES OF REORGANISING AND REPOSITIONING TOURISM
Authors: CSAPÓ JÁNOS , TÖRZSÖK ANDRÁS , GALAMBOS ISTVÁN
Published: March 2021

In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon concluding WWI caused the Hungarian Kingdom to lose not only two-thirds of its area and population, but the country’s most important tourism destinations as well. This is the reason why the “domestic values” of the country were valorised in the following period in terms of tourism. Both the remaining tourism supply and the demand had to face signiﬁcant changes; for instance, the paying guest system was introduced in Hungary at the time in question. Some new investments were made from 1922 onwards in these destinations, such as the establishment of holiday camps and hotels, but the development of tourism was primarily supported through government regulations and the creation of national and regional tourism authorities. Due to these investments and innovations the interwar period became a flourishing era for domestic tourism.

Published: March 2021

Under conditions of biotic and abiotic stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed in plants, which causes oxidative stress. At the same time, ROS play additional signaling roles in plant adaptation to stress. The study of the mechanisms of this process makes it possible to develop new ways of protecting organisms, in particular, agricultural plants, from negative stress effects. This review describes the current understanding of oxidative stress – the process of inhibition of the vital activity of cells under the action of reactive oxygen species. The distinctive features of plant oxidative stress and two main pathways of metabolic protection – the jasmonate and salicylate pathways – are separately identified. Various ways of identifying oxidative stress are also given. Innovative methods of protecting agricultural plants from oxidative stress are considered: the use of biopesticides – rhizobacteria and microscopic fungi, elicitors – the youngest direction in creating effective methods of protection. It also describes a relatively outdated method of protection – the use of fungicides. These substances were included in the review due to the recent appearance of biodegradable preparations of this type. Special attention is paid to elicitors – substances that are not typical for plants, the appearance of which in the cell causes a chain of biochemical processes similar to the metabolism of plants under oxidative stress. The most studied substances with the properties of elicitors are described: salicylic acid, jasmonates, hytosan and hydrogen peroxide; their role in the chain of response reactions. As an alternative, isothiocyanates – the main components of the “mustard bomb” – the protective mechanism of plants of the cruciferous family are considered. Also, the latest studies of isothiocyanates in the metabolic processes of plants are described.

Published: March 2021

The attitude of the population to other countries is considered, taking into account two tendencies of the last one and a half centuries: globalization, which is based on economic processes with their interdependence of individual players from each other in the international market, and glocalization, as a phenomenon of “rebellious periphery” opposing the dominant culture that refuses such an acculturation strategy. The role of mass information sources in shaping the attitude of the population to different countries is discussed on the example of Russian data from public opinion polls, in particular, to the events in Belarus. The factor of trust in information sources is considered

Authors: Baek Kyung-Wan , Kim Ji-Seok , Yoo Jun-Il
Published: March 2021

PURPOSE: Recently, METTL21C has been identified as a potential pleiotropic gene for osteoporosis and sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to collect gene expression datasets of human skeletal muscle transcriptome and to determine their relationship to exercise through meta-analysis.METHODS: MetaMEx was used to determine whether METTL21C in human skeletal muscle was associated with age, sex, physical activity and obesity. In addition, the difference in gene expression of METTL21C according to exercise duration and exercise type was confirmed. Using MetaMEx, top 300 genes (positive and negative, respectively) with a high correlation with METTL21C were selected, and gene ontology analysis was performed to identify related pathways.RESULTS:The expression of METTL21C gene in human skeletal muscle was significantly lower in the elderly than in young subjects (p<.0001), and significantly lower in female than in male (p<.0001). Also, the obese subjects were significantly lower than lean subjects (p<.0001). However, subjects with high level of physical activity had significantly higher expression of METTL21C than subjects with low levels of physical activity (p<.0001). Acute resistance exercise (p<.0001) and acute high-intensity interval training (p<.05) were found to have significantly higher expression of METTL21C in the skeletal muscle of the exercise group compared to the control group. Aerobic exercise training (p<.0001) and resistance exercise training (p<.0001) showed significantly higher expression of METTL21C in the skeletal muscle of the exercise group compared to the control group.CONCLUSIONS: Physical activity and exercise is important to prevent and treat osteosarcopenia because it can increase the expression of METTL21C in human skeletal muscle and maintain bone and muscle homeostasis.

Published: March 2021

Purpose: This study aims to observe the effects of at home Pilates exercise, using a real-time web program in postpartum women where measurements of body composition, abdominal obesity, pelvic tilt, back pain and Oswestry Disability Index will be taken.Methods: Subjects included postpartum women under the age of 45 that were registered at the C Cultural Women’s Center in Bundang, Gyeonggi-do. All subjects were within 1 year of childbirth, had no medical opinion and were not receiving medication. A total of 16 people were enrolled in this experiment, which consisted of a Pilates Exercise group (EX, n=8) and a control group (CON, n=8). Measurements of body composition, abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness and circumference, pelvic tilt, pelvic strength, and back pain index were all assessed prior to being exposed to experimental measures. After 8 weeks of un-tact home Pilates exercise, a followup examination was conducted to observe the group-specific changes.Results: The group that participated in the un-tact home Pilates exercise showed a decrease in body fat, BMI, and visceral fat postpartum. Abdominal obesity tests showed a significant reduction in subcutaneous fat thickness, abdominal and hip circumference. The pelvic tilt test showed a reduction in the pelvic slope of the EX-group. Finally, the Oswestry Disabililty Index test showed the total score of the EX-group had decreased, confirming that Pilates exercise in this study was effective for back pain.Conclusions: Thus, un-tact home Pilates exercise using a real time web program is an effective intervention that can be used to prevent postpartum obesity by reducing abdominal and total body adiposity postpartum, assisting pelvic function, and improving muscle strength while also reducing back pain.

PURPOSE:The primary objective of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 5 weeks resistance training protocols (i.e., low-load blood flow restriction resistance training and moderate-load resistance training) especially on blood lipids, muscle strength, anaerobic power and body composition in young normal weight obese women.METHODS: Twenty-nine young normal weight obese women were randomly divided into three groups: blood flow restriction resistance training (BFR-RT, n=9), resistance training (RT, n=10) and non-training control (CON, n=10). BFR-RT group fitted a pneumatic cuff over the upper and lower extremities by using Kaatsu Nano equipment to apply the same pressures with each systolic blood pressure. The subjects in the BFR-RT group performed the training with 40% of 1RM and the RT group executed the resistance training with their 60-70% of 1RM. Both groups had performed the resistance training protocols twice per week for 5 weeks, and each training protocol consisted of bench press, barbell row, squat, and lunge.RESULTS:There were no changes in body weight, fat mass, BMI and %body fat in all groups after interventions for 5 weeks. However, the anaerobic power was significantly increased in both BFR-RT and RT groups compared to the CON group. Interestingly, only in the RT group, muscle mass and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly increased after the intervention.CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this study suggests that moderate-intensity RT is better than low-intensity BFR-RT to improve muscle mass and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in young normal weight obese women.

Resumo A soldagem de juntas dissimilares de alumínio e aço pode ser obtida pelo processo de fricção, que é um processo de soldagem no estado sólido. Esse processo ocorre à temperaturas abaixo do ponto de fusão dos metais e tem como principal mecanismo de união, a difusão. Apresenta-se como opção interessante de processo de soldagem. Por gerar menor tensão residual, menor distorção e baixa formação de trincas. Entretanto um dos grandes desafios de união de materiais dissimilares é a formação de compostos intermetálicos, que pode reduzir a resistência mecânica das juntas. Este trabalho apresenta a soldagem de topo por fricção rotativa de Alumínio ASTM A6351 T6 e Aço SAE 1020 e tem como objetivo avaliar o crescimento de camada intermetálica, com e sem a utilização de preaquecimento do aço. Além disso, este trabalho também busca avaliar estruturas obtidas e os resultados de resistência à tração. Para atingir os objetivos, uma máquina de soldagem por fricção convencional foi desenvolvida. O preaquecimento do aço foi realizado por indução eletromagnética. As juntas soldadas foram submetidas a ensaio de tração e ensaios metalográficos utilizando o Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV).

ABSTRACT Inoculating plants with a mix of beneficial microorganisms can significantly improve plant growth and contribute to sustainable agriculture. However, it is unclear if mixed inoculations of microorganisms provide better results than inoculations of a single beneficial microorganism. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of beneficial microorganisms on the performance of upland rice in a greenhouse experiment using a completely randomized design with three repetitions and 26 treatments. The treatments consisted of inoculations of Bacillus sp. (BRM32110), Serratia sp. (BRM32114), Azospirillum sp. (1381), Bacillus sp. (1301), A. brasilense (Ab-V5) and a pool of Trichoderma asperellum in isolation or in a mixture in addition to a control treatment (without application of microorganisms). Microorganisms significantly affected gas exchange, biomass production and nutrient accumulation in upland rice plants. The mixed treatments of BRM32114 + pool of T. asperellum and Ab-V5 + pool of T. asperellum were more effective than the other treatments, with improved gas exchange variables and nutrient concentration. The 1301 + Ab-V5 mixed treatment showed higher averages for biomass production than the other treatments, and these values were significantly different from those of the control treatment.

ABSTRACT Soil structure conditions the interaction between the physical-hydraulic, chemical, and biological attributes and determines the potential of soil productivity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the structure of soils of areas subjected to soybean production and the impacts of soil structure on crop yield. In total, 28 soybean production areas were selected in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, and analyzed for particle size, soil organic carbon and aggregates. Data of soil attributes were subjected to descriptive analysis, Pearson’s correlation and Kruskal-Wallis test at p ≤ 0.05. In general, considering the non-irrigated soybean production areas, it was found that soils with mean sand content between 100.00 and 800.10 g kg-1 and clay content between 120.00 and 627.80 g kg-1 showed average soybean yield of 3,536.36 kg ha-1. Soils that had aggregates with mean weight diameter and mean geometric diameter above 1.50 mm showed soybean yield equal to or greater than 3,370.67 kg ha-1. Soils of similar textural groups can define different levels of soybean yield, depending on characteristics such as the type of management adopted and production technology applied in the soybean production area.

RESUMO: A Educação Especial, no Brasil e em outros lugares do mundo, ao longo de décadas, tem passado por muitas transformações, e novos paradigmas estão sendo criados, outros abandonados, porém muitas questões ainda continuam em aberto. Uma delas refere-se ao ensino na área das Ciências da Natureza para surdos. Com o objetivo de compreender como está ocorrendo o ensino em um dos importantes campos das Ciências Naturais, a Física, este artigo compôs o estado da arte de pesquisas sobre a educação de surdos, nessa área do conhecimento. Para tanto, esta pesquisa bibliográfica utilizou como suporte metodológico a análise de conteúdo de Bardin, com o intuito de identificar tendências em pesquisas que envolvam essa temática, e, como base de dados, foi usado o banco de teses e dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), e os diretórios Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), SciVerse Scopus e Google Acadêmico. Entretanto, foi encontrado um número pequeno de pesquisas em relação ao volume de produções acadêmicas consultadas, ressaltando que existe um grande déficit a ser sanado. Além disso, a maioria das pesquisas encontradas, apesar de apresentarem estratégias de ensino relevantes, não utilizam satisfatoriamente os diferentes níveis de representação de fenômenos físicos, algo que pode eventualmente causar obstáculos de natureza epistemológica e visões inadequadas para os modelos desses fenômenos.

ABSTRACT: This study approached the Lesson Study strategy as a support for planning academic activities of teachers who intend to adopt or contribute to the adoption of an inclusive perspective in Higher Education. The general objective of this study was to describe preliminary indicators of the use of the Lesson Study as a teaching practice capable of enabling an inclusive perspective, in the context of Higher Education. Specifically, we aim to: a) identify strategies by student with and without markers (social, linguistic, ethnic, neuromotor, among others) as suggestions for the teaching-learning process with an inclusive perspective, and b) compare these strategies and discuss them from the point of view of the teaching practice aspects tested in this analysis. With a predominantly qualitative approach, this research was characterized as descriptive and the investigation instruments used for data collection consisted of interviews, observation and field notes. Three university professors and a group of twelve students, four of them with markers (social, linguistic, ethnic, neuromotor, among others), and eight of them without any makers participated in this analysis. The results allowed to highlight four specific indicators of the Lesson Study and 26 types of strategies indicated by the students (with and without markers) as suggestions for support during teaching practices. It was observed that those provided by students without markers did not differ much from those presented by the students with markers, except in specific situations, such as those pointed out by the deaf student. The obtained data contributed to the discussions on the existing policies and guidelines generated in the University itself and, in particular, the analysis provided professional improvement of the involved professors, in addition to the indication of possibilities of this improvement in relation to the other professors who are concerned with the adoption of actions with inclusive education perspectives.

RESUMEN: Los maestros de educación general han expresado su preocupación por la inclusión de educandos con Trastornos del Espectro Autista, debido a la falta de habilidades sociales de los niños, comportamientos estereotipados e intereses restringidos. El objetivo de este estudio es describir y comparar el estado actual de la preparación de los maestros de primaria para estimular la socialización de los educandos con Trastornos del Espectro Autista en escuelas inclusivas. A la luz de una metodología cuantitativa se realizó un estudio descriptivo-comparativo de corte transversal. Se estudiaron 74 maestros (52 mujeres y 22 hombres) encargados de cumplir con el rol docente-educativo de atender a los educandos con Trastornos del Espectro Autista en condiciones de inclusión en una provincia occidental de Cuba. El rango de edad oscila entre 22 y 57 años. Se aplicó un cuestionario y una Ficha de Observación previamente validados para medir la preparación teórica-metodológica y práctica de los maestros. Los resultados muestran que los maestros presentan dificultades para estimular la socialización de los educandos con autismo en escuelas inclusivas. Asimismo, el grado académico, la experiencia en espacios educacionales inclusivos y el área disciplinar resultaron ser variables sociodemográficas que determinan la preparación de los maestros para cumplir con esta tarea educativa. Estos resultados aportan información clave para diseñar estrategias y planes de acción, tanto en la formación inicial como en la práctica cotidiana, en aras de potenciar las competencias teóricas y prácticas de los maestros que asumen este desafío.

ABSTRACT Introduction: McNamara’s Jr. cephalometric analysis is a tool to diagnose dental and skeletal discrepancies and is widely used, guiding diagnosis for surgical procedures to be performed or for the use of functional devices. Few studies have shown that different ethnic groups have different cephalometric patterns. Thus, single characteristics should be respected to support the diagnosis and to help the treatment plan for different ethnic groups and their different patterns of miscegenation. Objective: Obtain normal values for McNamara’s cephalometric analysis for adolescent Japanese-Brazilian descents with normal occlusion, as well as to compare this sample with similar samples of White-Brazilian and Japanese. Methods: Lateral headfilms from 40 White-Brazilian, 33 Japanese and 32 Japanese-Brazilian descents were selected. The three groups were composed by individuals with normal occlusion, well-balanced profiles and were separated by sex. The data were statistically analyzed with ANOVA, t-test, ANCOVA and MANCOVA tests. Results: White-Brazilian males had significantly greater nasolabial angle than Japanese males. Japanese-Brazilian displayed an intermediate value between White-Brazilian and Japanese. Conclusion: White-Brazilian, Japanese and Japanese-Brazilian present different cephalometric characteristics of McNamara analysis. Japanese males have a significantly more acute nasolabial angle than White-Brazilian subjects.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Shorter miniscrew implants (MSIs) are needed to make orthodontics more effective and efficient. Objective: To evaluate the stability, insertion torque, removal torque and pain associated with 3 mm long MSIs placed in humans by a novice clinician. Methods: 82 MSIs were placed in the buccal maxillae of 26 adults. Pairs of adjacent implants were immediately loaded with 100g. Subjects were recalled after 1, 3, 5, and 8 weeks to verify stability and complete questionnaires pertaining to MSI-related pain and discomfort. Results: The overall failure rate was 32.9%. The anterior and posterior MSIs failed 35.7% and 30.0% of the time, respectively. Excluding the 10 MSIs (12.2%) that were traumatically dislodged, the failure rates in the anterior and posterior sites were 30.1% and 15.2%, respectively; the overall primary failure rate was 23.6%. Failures were significantly (p= 0.010) greater (46.3% vs 19.5%) among the first 41 MSIs than the last 41 MSIs that were placed. Excluding the traumatically lost MSIs, the failures occurred on or before day 42. Subjects experienced very low pain (2.2% of maximum) and discomfort (5.5% of maximum) during the first week only. Conclusions: Shorter 3 mm MSIs placed by a novice operator are highly likely to fail. However, failure rates can be substantially decreased over time with the placement of more MSIs. Pain and discomfort experienced after placing 3 mm MSIs is minimal and temporary.
Elites estatais no Sul do Brasil: prosopografia da alta administração republicana no Rio Grande do Sul, 1889-1937
Authors: Heinz Flavio Madureira , Vianna Marcelo
Published: March 2021

RESUMO O texto traz os resultados de um estudo prosopográfico de 130 membros da alta administração pública e da elite política do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, atuantes durante a Primeira República, e estendendo-se do início do período, em 1889, até 1937, data que marca o fim do primeiro governo Vargas, com o golpe do Estado Novo e o fechamento do sistema político representativo no país. O estudo lançou luz sobre o perfil social e profissional de altos dirigentes políticos do Estado, então atuantes em nível regional ou nacional. Pela metodologia e critérios de análise utilizados, o trabalho busca também a realização de comparações com estudos anteriores sobre elites políticas de outros estados brasileiros, ampliando o conhecimento acerca da atuação dos grupos políticos regionais do Brasil da Primeira República às vésperas do Estado Novo. Ao fazê-lo, a pesquisa relativiza a perspectiva excepcionalista que dominou por muito tempo a historiografia política sobre o Rio Grande do Sul - notadamente a ideia de uma administração científica não-oligárquica fundada no Positivismo -, embora reafirme alguns aspectos historicamente associados ao republicanismo do Sul do país, como a baixa renovação de quadros políticos e, por conseguinte, a longevidade das carreiras públicas na alta administração pública.

RESUMO Este artigo analisa o impacto do golpe de Estado de 1964 na educação superior brasileira através da repressão de dirigentes universitários. Em vista disso, investigaram-se os processos políticos que condicionaram o afastamento de reitores naquele ano e, mais precisamente, na renúncia do reitor João Alfredo da Universidade do Recife (UR), atual Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE). Buscou-se assim identificar as modalidades de organização e de ação, especialmente midiáticas, utilizadas por grupos e por intelectuais conservadores liderados por Gilberto Freyre nas disputas pela hegemonia do campo universitário em tempos de ditadura militar no Brasil. Para esta pesquisa foram examinadas as Atas do Conselho Universitário, jornais de grande circulação, entrevistas de história oral e os relatórios da Comissão Nacional de Verdade e da Comissão de Memória e Verdade Dom Hélder Câmara.
