En estos momentos de cambios obligatorios, es más que nunca relevante la dinámica investigativa, si antes de finales del 2019 los investigadores debíamos identificar problemas y entender pertinencias para asumirlos como retos; hoy la realidad nos inunda de un sinnúmero de situaciones complejas que demandan soluciones y respuestas contundentes, en especial los aspectos relacionados con la supervivencia, sostenibilidad económica y cotidianidad de las actividades humanas.
Estudio de la contabilidad por ciclos de operaciones financieras Modelo: Teórico, Pedagógico y Curricular
Authors:   Universidad Libre, Avellaneda Bautista Campo Alcides , Avellaneda Rojas Sara Beatriz
Published: August 2021

Un año después de haberse instaurado el Modelo COF en el Programa de Contaduría Pública de la Universidad Libre y habiendo publicado la 1ª Edición de esta obra en el año 2008, su desarrollo en las aulas indicó, entre otros elementos necesarios que fueron identificados en los procesos de autoevaluación permanente, que el modelo debía robustecerse incluyendo la estrategia de proyectos de aula. Fue necesario entonces, preparar y llevar a cabo la Segunda edición de la obra, la cual fue publicada en 2012 robustecida con las experiencias obtenidas durante los cuatro años que le antecedieron. Ahora, después de ocho años de haber sido publicada la segunda edición, se hace necesario actualizar esta obra mediante una Tercera Edición, en la que se plasman: nueva regulación tanto legal como institucional, el robustecimiento del modelo con la experiencia aplicada mediante el currículo planeado, una revisión de completitud al capítulo Proyecto de Aula, así como del currículo oculto o de contexto, todo lo cual obligó a revisar la estructura de la obra. En esta Tercera edición se incluyeron nuevos elementos teóricos que respaldan la pedagogía y la didáctica planteadas en el modelo, se hace referencia a una reforma al plan de estudios del programa académico que se encuentra en curso al momento de publicar esta obra, se fortalecer el discurso de la estrategia investigativa como eje transversal en los Planes de Aula, y, se hace referencia a los Lineamientos y Orientaciones para el aprendizaje de jóvenes y personas adultas, instrumento difundido por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional. Hay la certeza de que se ha avanzado por el camino correcto en la aplicación del modelo, porque el mismo ha sido exitosamente validado con trece años de desarrollo (2007-2019) en el Programa de Contaduría Pública de la Universidad Libre; ha sido bien ponderado en cuatro oportunidades por Pares académicos que en nombre del Ministerio de Educación Nacional han evaluado el programa de Contaduría Pública para acreditarlo en alta calidad. También lo han evaluado Pares extranjeros para expedir el Certificarlo Internacional de alta calidad. Por lo expuesto, el modelo se considera suficientemente validado. Es necesario destacar que un currículo es de actualización permanente debido a las cambiantes dinámicas sociales y las nuevas problemáticas que tales dinámicas generan en el campo de la educación superior. En este sentido, en 2014, la Universidad Libre realizó la actualización del Proyecto Educativo Institucional (PEI), incorporando el modelo Autoestructurante Cognoscente o Cognoscitivo (Acuerdo N° 04 de octubre de 2014, Honorable Consiliatura), cuyas teorías que lo integran y sustentan, ya venían siendo soporte epistemológico del modelo COF. Igualmente, en el año 2017

On Democracy of Digression: Chapter 30 of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick
Authors:   Catholic University of America, Kimmage Michael
Published: August 2021

This essay focuses on chapter 30 of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, one of the novel’s shortest chapters. It contrasts bigness, destiny and Captain Ahab’s authoritarian abuse of power with smallness, free will, and digression, the democratic virtues portrayed in Moby-Dick mostly through their absence but also, in chapter 30, by their presence in the form of a pipe that Captain Ahab smokes on deck and is then compelled to toss overboard so that The Pequod might complete is star-crossed and disastrously foreshadowed voyage.
Entangled Encounters: The Transcultural Counterwitness and Implication in Claudia Rankine and John Lucas’s Situations
Authors:   University of Oulu, Moran Matthew
Published: August 2021

Drawing on current definitions of public testimony, this study turns to the work of Claudia Rankine and John Lucas’s Situations to explore how video poems challenge the pervasive stereotyping of black Americans in mainstream journalism and implicate viewers, particularly white ones, into the everyday and historical traumas of racial violence. Video poems, such as Situations, take advantage of multimodal channels to move viewers beyond spectator guilt to introduce a more nuanced understanding of American and global racism. Through an investigation of three of their video poems, “Stop and Frisk,” “In Memory of Trayvon Martin,” and “World Cup,” this study explores how Rankine and Lucas’s work opposes, and engages with, the pervasive stereotyping of black Americans presented in mainstream news media; how the multimodal nature of video poetry problematizes the viewers’ relationship with American and global racism; and how acts of counterwitnessing implicate viewers into distant histories of racial trauma.
With Regard to the Price Differences Registrated in Finite Products and Agricultural Products
Authors:   Petre Andrei University of Iasi, Romania, SCORȚESCU Florin Ioan , SCORȚESCU Gheorghe ,   Petre Andrei University of Iasi, Romania
Published: August 2021

According to the predetermined or standard price/cost method, stocks of finished products or agricultural products are recorded in the accounts at the predetermined (standard) price, also called the registration price, highlighting separately (distinctly) the price differences (plus or minus) from the actual cost of production of these goods. The standard price used for their accounting should be reviewed regularly and adjusted in the light of price developments. The distribution of price differences on finished products or agricultural products out of management shall be carried out with the support of a coefficient (k). This indicator (k) is multiplied by the price of these goods coming out of the company's management at the predetermined price (usually by sale), and the resulting value is shown in the corresponding accounts where such stocks that have come out of the patrimony have been shown.
Considerations Relating to Specific Inherent Risk and Control Risk
Authors:   Petre Andrei University of Iasi, Romania, SCORȚESCU Florin Ioan
Published: August 2021

Audit risk (Ra) occurs if financial statements belonging to the firm are majorly distorted, in which case an auditor may give a defective opinion on them. This risk depends on the risk of significant distortion (Rds) and on the risk of detection (Rd). The risk of significant distortion (Rds) takes into account the inherent risk (Ri) and the control risk (Rc). The balance of an account or more transactions may have majorly distorted values, with these falling within the scope of the inherent risk. It is in turn structured in general risk and specific risk. The concept of specific risk is apparent from aspects which take into account the practice previously acquired by the auditor and the way in which the auditor is aware of the audit areas. Assessment of the specific inherent risk and control risk shall be carried out in the following.

Production and Use of a Shelf-Stable Bovine Blood Powder for Food Fortification as a Food-Based Strategy to Combat Iron Deficiency Anaemia in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors:   Makerere University, Kikafunda Joyce K , Sserumaga P
Published: August 2021

Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most widespread micro-nutrient deficiency disease world-wide, particularly in developing countries. Although there are several strategies to combat IDA, food-based strategies are the most sustainable and yet little research has been carried out in this area. The study aimed at developing a technology for processing and preserving bovine blood into a shelf-stable powder, which would easily be utilised in fortifying commonly consumed food items, as a food-based strategy in the fight against iron deficiency anaemia. A shelf-stable powder was processed from fresh bovine blood and the physical, chemical, microbiological and sh elf-life characteristics assessed using conventional methods. The results of the chemical analysis showed that bovine blood powder has a very high concentration of haeme iron at 195.46 mg/100g of powder. This is more than ten times the level of iron in bovineliver, one of the most commonly used food source of haeme iron whose iron content is only 17 mg/ 100gm of liver. Although microbiological tests carried out on the freshly processed blood powder and on the same powder after one and three months of storage at room temperature found a significant rise in yeast, mould and total plate counts, these values were low and within safe limits. The blood powder was used to fortify a bean sauce. Sensory analysis panellists considered the fortified bean sauce moderately acceptable with a mean score of 4.667 (like slightly) compared to a mean score of 2.333 (like very much) for the non-fortified sauce, on a nine point Hedonic scale. These findings show that processed bovine blood powder has very high levels of haeme iron and thus has great potential as a food-based strategy to combat iron-deficiency anaemia in resource-poor developing countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa. However, more research is needed to improve the microbiological and sensory characteristics of the blood powder

Assessment of Crop Water Footprint for Different Varieties of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea)
Authors: Ramachandran J. , Lalitha R. , Kannan S. Vallal , Sivasubramanian K.
Published: August 2021

Background: Water Footprint is a recently used indicator which helps to reduce water depletion and alleviate water stress in areas of drought and proper crop cultivation. Hence a study was taken up to assess the crop water footprint of different groundnut varieties namely TMV 7, VRI 2, VRI 3, VRI Gn 5, VRI Gn 6, CO 3, CO Gn 4, ALR 3 and TMV Gn 13 cultivated during Kharif and Rabi seasons at Tiruchirapalli district of Tamil Nadu. Methods: The total water requirement, blue and green crop evapotranspiration, blue and green crop water use and total water footprint for different varieties of groundnut were estimated using CROPWAT 8.0 Windows. A comparison was made between the water footprint of groundnut varieties and the strategies to reduce water footprint is presented. Result: The total water footprint for groundnut varieties ranged from 2603 to 4889 m3 ton-1 (CV of 26%) during kharif season, while it was ranged from 1465 to 2470 m3 ton-1 (CV of 18%) during rabi season. It was found that in all groundnut varieties the blue water footprint is higher than the green water footprint, while VRI Gn 5 variety had minimum total water footprint. It was concluded that, the groundnut production is affected by different levels of blue water stress which requires effective irrigation practices and water management strategies to enhance the crop production.
Hazers' Personality Characteristics and the Perception of School Climate in Slovenia
Authors: Pečjak Sonja , Pirc Tina
Published: August 2021

This article presents the initiation rite for the admission of newcomers to Slovenian upper secondary education, which is called “pheasanting” and has similar characteristics to hazing. It examines the relationship between certain personality traits of hazers with their perception of the school climate and the severity of the hazing activities they engage in (subtle, harassing, and violent hazing). In a sample of 460 students in the fourth grade of upper secondary education, 25.4% of them had carried out hazing in the previous 3 years, of which 47% performed only subtle, 24% harassment, and 29% violent hazing. Violent and harassment hazers justified their actions much more often than subtle hazers by dominating and distorting of the consequences and by diffusing responsibility. They also had less empathy and perceived the school climate as enabling more aggressive attitude. However, violent hazers had the most negative attitude toward hazing, while harassment hazers found hazing most acceptable. Finally, some practical implications of the results at individual and school level are discussed.
Hacia una edición crítica y estudio de los cuentos de Mauricio Magdaleno: El ardiente verano y otros cuentos
Authors:   Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, Mexico, Arranz Mínguez Conrado J.
Published: August 2021

Currently, a complete critical edition must not only be accompanied by a rigorous textual criticism but also by a genetic edition that considers all the testimonies. In this sense, this work analyzes some of the problems that could occur if we publish a critical edition the entirety of Mauricio Magdaleno’s short stories. There would be two important problems: first, the fact that most of the stories, as we know them today, had previous versions published in periodical sources, which would oblige us to make an exhaustive investigation and to gather and collate the texts from the varied hemerographic testimonies; second, the decision of any criterion that allows overcoming the generic border between a story written from a personal anecdote and a short story that can be included in our edition. Thus, both problems have as a common root: Magdaleno was a journalist and supplemented his journalistic career with other activities that served as material support. A critical edition of Mauricio Magdaleno’s short stories would be a good reading of his work, and we could know about the author’s creative process, which would help to overcome the anachronistic criticism that has been published on the topic. Finally, and based on the current status, we propose a table with the versions of the short stories found and another table with a proposal supported by a possible index of the short stories that would make up the critical edition.
Adendas a la bibliografía de Horacio Quiroga
Authors:   Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Germany, Ferrari Alejandro
Published: August 2021

The written Work of Horacio Quiroga (1878-1937) includes novels, poetry, dramaturgy, journalistic texts, and, fundamentally, stories, and was published first and foremost in the various illustrated magazines of the early twentieth century where the Uruguayan author collaborated. Only a part was collected in books by Quiroga himself. Since 1955 an accurate list of all his collaborations has been made and, also, a large part of his work has been published in various anthologies and in different complete works projects. Our research adds to this repertoire some bibliographic findings: the existence of two short stories, not belonging to any bibliographic list or to any compilation of their narrative writings; “Una carta de amor” and “La cacería”; the appearance of his first journalistic film “note”, “El Teatro Mudo: elogio del cinematógrafo”, which is not part of any list or of the compilations of Quiroga’s cinematographic texts; and, finally, the existence of the editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva, one of his best known books. The three texts found, which are from 1917, as well as the illustrated editio princeps of Cuentos de la Selva from 1918 must be included in Horacio Quiroga’s bibliographic repertoire and must form part of the new editions of his complete work.

This digital tool aims to deepen the studies of narrative discurse known as relación; in adition, it itends to serve as a repository that will bring together integral relaciones from various Golden plays that have or haven´t a modern edition. On one hand, the paper points out the dramatic strategy’s importance in the Golden theatre; on the other hand, aims to familiarize future users whith the information provided by this digital tool so that they can use it as a potencial instrument for future research. The interest of the article lies in showing that the relación is a dramatic strategy that can be studied as a discursive genre inseparable from the dramatic play to wich is belongs, whose function goes beyond the limits that have been indicated so far.
Carducci y Gutiérrez Nájera: dos ejemplos de lectura de Horacio en la tradición clásica del siglo XIX
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Mexico, Manríquez Lozano Néstor Elián
Published: August 2021

Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera and Giosuè Carducci are two of the most important authors of Mexico and Italy respectively. Both were inspired by the French poetry of their time and shared a literary ideal of definition and construction of their national identity. Among the different ways to do this work, the use of Classical tradition, and specifically in the presence of Horace, allows us to recognize the differences and similarities of the nineteenth-century ideas of both authors.

Classification of text units with the semantics of references in Russian language system
Authors: Tugusheva Anastasia V. , Piskunova Svetlana V.
Published: August 2021

We consider the main qualification features of text units with the semantics of reference to participants in the communicative Russian speech space, taking into account lexical and gram-matical ways of expression. This allows us to determine their differential features and classifica-tion types, reflecting the dynamics in the formation of references in the system of the modern Russian language. We pay special attention to references of different forms, which not only represent the speaker’s attitude to the object of speech, characterize it, but also enhance imagery and emotionality, give us an idea of the author as a linguistic person. We emphasize that conversion should be considered a linguistic universal. It serves the organization and regulation of communication relations. The choice of a particular form of reference reflects the attitude towards the interlocutor, conditioned by a variety of factors. That is why conversion is a socially important component of dialogical speech. We determine the main parameters of the semantic, grammatical and functional features of references based on the materials of linguistic research, as well as the prospects for scientific research in this direction. A survey is conducted on the use of certain forms of references strangers among students of the Derzhavin Tambov State University. Questions related to their perception of the most frequent references in the modern Russian language are proposed. We establish that in modern Russian there is a problem when references a stranger.
Christian religious constructions and their folk and colloquial naming (in the texts by E.V. Chestnyakov and current patois of the Unzha area)
Authors: Veselova Elena G.
Published: August 2021

We consider the peculiarities of ecclesionyms functioning in Unzha patois from the point of their form, semantic structure and speech usage. The research is based on the texts of the local writer E.V. Chestnyakov, as well as field materials collected in Kologriv and its environs. We analyze a number of religious constructions names and identify their connection with the topography of the area. We pay special attention to identify the sacred elements of the interior decoration of the chapel closest to the writer's house, where in the texts of E.V. Chestnyakov adjoins Church Slavonic and folk and colloquial vocabulary, as well as the status in the patois of the lexeme chapel, which can be considered as a transform of a common noun into a proper name, which is typical for small territories. We note that a specific feature of the ecclesionims, the names of the Unzha churches, which act as local topographic signs, are such types of metonymy as the transfer of one of the side-altars to the entire temple name – the temple name to the village, and the village name to the temple. We conclude that the live folk speech re-codes complex official names into short, and often different, variants. Often, the transformed names of religious constructions reflect dialectal phenomena and the local topography features.
Mythopoetics of the space-time continuum in Sergei Kozlov’s tales of the Hedgehog and the Bear
Authors: Elepova Marina Y. , Kabanova Natalia G.
Published: August 2021

The original tales of Sergei Kozlov about the Hedgehog and the Bear are full of deep philosophical content, which finds expression in intertextual allusions, the transformation of my-thological images and formulas. A special place in the author’s discourse is occupied by the space-time continuum, which can be defined as a continuous set of categories that embody the topologi-cal explication of the fairy world through mythopoetic imagery, religious subtext, and multiple al-lusions. Temporality as a text category becomes the axis of artistic time, imparting signs of per-ception to the entire space-time continuum of the work. The temporality of the fairytale cycle is determined by the switch from everyday specifics to the scale of an unlimited universe. The stopped time effect occurs at the moment of such switch. Out of time, the characters find them-selves in the element of fantasy overwhelming them. The space has the features of impressionism, every moment in the life of fairytale heroes reveals a new look of the vernal world. The heavenly bodies in the spirit of the ancient fairy-tale epic are close to the earth and reified. Astral categories in the images of the moon, stars, sky reveal a connection with outer space. Anthropomorphic cha-racters inhabiting the magical space of the forest, while retaining their archetypal features, acquire special properties in fairy tales that go far beyond the framework of folklore stereotypes. This is imagination and fantasy that have no boundaries, the ability to contemplate the beautiful, the as-cent of thought to eternal philosophical problems. The Hedgehog, as the protagonist and the bearer of these qualities, often evaluates finiteness – the infinity of time, its cyclical nature, the constant change of death and birth. He, like other characters, overcomes real space and time with the help of imagination. The poetics of myth, archetypal imagery, artistic components of magical-fantastic tales, transformed in the author’s discourse of Sergei Kozlov, allow the writer to penetrate the innermost world of the child’s soul through the space-time continuum and present the most important ontological and epistemological problems of human existence and divine providence in the world to the adult reader.
Karay-Saltykovo in Vyazhli: letters to G.F. and N.A. Petrovo-Solovovo to Baratynsky
Authors: Donik Kseniia V.
Published: August 2021

The work is a commentary on the publication of several letters, which obviously constituted the regular correspondence that existed in the 1840–1880s between the owners of two estates in the Kirsanovsky County of the Tambov Governorate – G.F. and N.A. Petrovo-Solovovo, whose estate was in the Karay-Saltykovo Village, and S.A. and S.M. Baratynsky, who lived in the Mara (Vyazhli). Several letters preserved in the Baratynsky Foundation at the Institute of Russian Lite-rature (Pushkin House), Russian Academy of Sciences (IRLI RAS) represent friendly correspon-dence in Russian and French, covering a large number of topics of everyday life in a country es-tate. The fact of this correspondence is interesting in the historical and literary aspect. First of all, letters are bilingual texts, the choice of language in which gives rise to reflection on the nature of the relationship in the nobility of the neighboring community that developed in one of the central Russian counties in the middle of the 19th century. This acquires special significance in cases when documents not only reveal the fact of existing social connections in general, but also, based on observation of the language, style, and emotional mode of letters, make it possible to judge the nature and duration of such connections in the community. Being one of the main historical sources, correspondence materials supplement the evidence of other documents about the past of two noble estates. In particular, this applies to historical information about the estates’ owners. And if there was always a steady interest in Mara (Vyazhli) in connection with the large-scale fig-ure of E.A. Baratynsky, then the history of the Karay-Saltykovsky estate and several generations of its inhabitants today suffers from incompleteness, contradictions in the structure of local history narrative, extreme limited archival material and the absence of introducing new sources into the research field. The publication of letters from the first generation of the inhabitants of the estate in Karay-Saltykovo partly fills this gap. We use textual methods, classical historical study principles of external and internal criticism of the source.

Published: August 2021

In March 2020, three months after the first cases surfaced in the Chinese city of Wuhan, WHO declared a global pandemic of the novel coronavirus, which by than had already spread through a great number of countries all over the world. In order to protect the health of healthcare workers and patients, activities and measures of disease prevention have been taken; in such circumstances, psychiatry found itself faced with various challenges, one of them being the preservation of the continuity of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with severe or refractory psychiatric disorders. Such patients are a priority and demand immediate treatment in hospital settings adapted to epidemiological circumstances. Having studied the instructions and recommendations of the competent authorities, as well as reviewing available literature, this paper presents the most important measures for the smooth performance of ECT in conditions associated with the COVID-19 disease.
Cytological Analysis of CSF in Patients with Acute Schizophrenia
Authors: Moslavac Sanda , Škrobo Mislav , Lazić Mosler Elvira , Karlović Dalibor
Published: August 2021

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is one of the most important tests in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Although CSF analysis is most commonly used in neurological pathological conditions, it also has its place in psychiatry. Studies to date have described several valuable specific cytomorphological phenomena in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with acute schizophrenia, which indicate inflammatory or immune-mediated etiopathogenesis of the disease. Additional and long-term research is needed to confirm and standardize the importance of cytological analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in the diagnosis and etiopathogenesis of acute schizophrenia.
Development of a new procedure for the determination of the reactivity of brandies used in wine fortification
Authors: Azevedo Joana , Pissarra João , Amaro Filipa , Guido Luis , Oliveira Joana , Lopes Paulo , Guedes de Pinho Paula , Mateus Nuno , De Freitas Victor
Published: August 2021

The main purpose of this work was to describe and validate a new methodology for the determination of a brandy reactivity index (BRI) towards flavan-3-ol compounds in wines (catechins and condensed tannins) and to correlate this index with the amount and type of aldehydes present in those brandies. This new method consists of two main reactions: a) the ability of aldehydes to react with C8 and/or C6 positions in the phloroglucinol ring of a catechin present in excess (A ring); b) further reaction of the remaining free catechin with p-dimethylaminocinamaldehyde (DMACA) yielding to the formation of a blue compound that can be quantified by Visible spectroscopy at 640 nm. The impact of different experimental conditions such as reagent concentrations and reaction time on BRI were also evaluated. The method was validated through the determination of repeatability (intra-day variability) and reproducibility. The repeatability was considered acceptable with a CV of 11.87 %. The analysis of the reproducibility variance, S2R (11.59), the reproducibility limit R (9.5) and the reproducibility coefficient of variation, CVR (15.25 %) postulates BRI methodology to be reliable and robust.Using the developed methodology, the BRI of fourteen different commercial brandies and some pure standards aldehydes were determined. The aldehydes present in brandies, and the content of total aldehydes were determined by GC-MS and then correlated with the BRI. In general, it was observed a direct correlation between the BRI and the concentration of total aldehydes, in particular acetaldehyde.

The use of naturally available materials not conforming to traditional specifications or standards, in the base and sub-base layers of road pavement structures, stabilised with New-age (Nano) Modified Emulsions (NME), have been tested, implemented and successfully verified through Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) in South Africa. This was made possible through the development and use of a design procedure addressing fundamental principles and based on scientific concepts, which are universally applicable. The understanding of and incorporation of the chemical interaction between the mineralogy of the materials and a NME stabilising agent (compatibility between the chemistry of the reactive agents and material mineralogy) into the design approach is key to achieving the required engineering properties. Stabilised materials evaluation is done using tests indicative of the basic engineering properties (physics) of compressive strengths, tensile strengths and durability. This article describes the basic materials design approach developed to ensure that organofunctional nano-silane modified emulsions can successfully be used for pavement layer construction utilising naturally available materials, at a low risk. The enablement of the use of naturally available materials in all pavement layers can have a considerable impact on the unit cost and life-cycle costs of road transportation infrastructure.

Published: August 2021

Quantum turbulence is characterized by many degrees of freedom interacting non-linearly to produce disordered states, both in space and time. The advances in trapping, cooling, and tuning the interparticle interactions in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) make them excellent candidates for studying quantum turbulence. In this work, we investigate the decaying regime of quantum turbulence in a trapped BEC. Although much progress has been made in understanding quantum turbulence, other strategies are needed to overcome some intrinsic difficulties. We present an alternative way of investigating this phenomenon by defining and computing a characteristic length scale, which possesses relevant characteristics to study the establishment of the quantum turbulent regime. One intrinsic difficulty related to these systems is that absorption images of BECs are projected to a plane, thus eliminating some of the information present in the original momentum distribution. We overcome this difficulty by exploring the symmetry of the cloud, which allows us to reconstruct the three-dimensional momentum distributions with the inverse Abel transform. We present our analysis with both the two- and three-dimensional momentum distributions, discussing their similarities and differences. We argue that the characteristic length allows us to visualize the time evolution of the turbulent state intuitively.

The cellular cytoskeleton provides the cell with a mechanical rigidity which allows mechanical interaction between cells and the extracellular environment. The actin structure plays a key role in mechanical events like motility, or establishment of cell polarity. From the earliest stages of development, as represented by ex vivo expansion of naïve embryonic stem cells (ESCs), the critical mechanical role of the actin structure is becoming recognized as a vital cue for correct segregation and lineage control of cells and as a regulatory structure that controls several transcription factors. Naïve ESCs have a characteristic morphology and the ultrastructure that underlies this condition remains to be further investigated. Here, we investigate the 3D actin cytoskeleton of naïve mouse ESCs using super resolution optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM). We investigate the morphological, cytoskeletal and mechanical changes in cells cultured in 2i or Serum/LIF media reflecting a homogenous preimplantation cell state and a state that is closer to embarking on differentiation. STORM imaging showed that the peripheral actin structure undergoes a dramatic change between the two media conditions. We also detected micro-rheological differences in the cell periphery between the cells cultured in these two media correlating well with the observed nano-architecture of the ESCs in the two different culture conditions. These results pave the way for linking physical properties and cytoskeletal architecture to cell morphology during early development.
ON THE ROLE OF MATRIX-WEIGHTS ELEMENTS IN CONSENSUS ALGORITHMS FOR MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
Authors: Ogbebor Joshua , Meng Xiangyu
Published: August 2021

This paper extends the concept of weighted graphs to matrix weighted graphs. The consensus algorithms dictate that all agents reach consensus when the weighted graph is connected. However, it is not always the case for matrix weighted graphs. The conditions leading to different types of consensus have been extensively analysed based on the properties of matrix-weighted Laplacians and graph theoretic methods. However, in practice, there is concern on how to pick matrix-weights to achieve some desired consensus, or how the change of elements in matrix weights affects the consensus algorithm. By selecting the elements in the matrix weights, different clusters may be possible. In this paper, we map the roles of the elements of the matrix weights in the systems consensus algorithm. We explore the choice of matrix weights to achieve different types of consensus and clustering. Our results are demonstrated on a network of three agents where each agent has three states.
Optimization of N, P, K for Soilless Production of Cannabis sativa in the Flowering Stage Using Response Surface Analysis
Authors: Bevan Lewys , Jones Max , Zheng Youbin
Published: August 2021

Following legalization, cannabis has quickly become an important horticultural crop in Canada and increasingly so in other parts of the world. However, due to previous legal restrictions on cannabis research there are limited scientific data on the relationship between nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) supply (collectively: NPK) and the crop yield and quality. This study examined the response of a high delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) Cannabis sativa cultivar grown in deep-water culture with different nutrient solution treatments varying in their concentrations (mg L-1) of N (70, 120, 180, 250, 290), P (20, 40, 60, 80, 100) and K (60, 120, 200, 280, 340) according to a central composite design. Results demonstrated that inflorescence yield responded quadratically to N and P, with the optimal concentrations predicted to be 194 and 59 mg L-1, respectively. Inflorescence yield did not respond to K in the tested range. These results can provide guidance to cultivators when formulating nutrient solutions for soilless cannabis production and demonstrates the utility of surface response design for efficient multi-nutrient optimization.
The three pillars of bilingual physical education

Published: August 2021

This article is a literature review with the objective of characterizing bilingual physical education, to then present and discuss the biggest challenge of the discipline, which is to keep the balance between the objectives and demands of physical education along with the process of acquiring a new language, and then create concepts for how to achieve this balance. This balance proposed for the discipline is something complex and at the same time subtle, we analyzed a specific article that seeks to concentrate all the difficulties of bilingual physical education in two dilemmas, and based on this analysis, the concept of the "three pillars of bilingual physical education" is proposed. The concept of the three pillars represents, in an integral and objective way, all the demands that the teacher needs to take into consideration to teach an ideal bilingual physical education class. The first pillar represents physical education, and all its demands. The second pillar is the process of acquiring a new language. Finally, the third pillar represents the optimization of time that the teacher needs to make to adapt the new demands within the classes, where with these pillars the most common mistakes that happen in the search for an efficient bilingual physical education were presented. It was concluded that to achieve an efficient bilingual physical education there is a need to balance the objectives of physical education mixed with the acquisition process of a new language, through the concept of the three pillars.
