STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF SARS-COV-2 CO-INFECTION WITH A NON-PATHOGENIC VARIANT OF THE COXSACKIE A7 VIRUS (LEV-8 STRAIN) AND ENTEROVIRUS 71
Authors:   State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR, Koltsovo, Legostaev S.S. , Protopopova E.V. , Lutkovsky R.Yu. , Svyatchenko V.A.
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of the study of the effects of co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 with non-pathogenic for humans strain LEV-8 (live enterovirus vaccine) of Coxsackie virus A7 and enterovirus 71 (EV71) on the model of cell cultures and laboratory animals. In vitro experiments showed that during infection enteroviruses and SARS-CoV-2 have a competitive inhibitory effect on each other, with a more pronounced degree of suppression of SARS-CoV-2. Modeling of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with enteroviruses in laboratory animals showed that preliminary infection with enteroviruses leads to a pronounced inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in the lungs of co-infected animals and a faster release of the lower respiratory tract from infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as to a decrease in the severity of clinical manifestations of coronavirus infection. The results obtained indicate that the studied enteroviruses have a pronounced interfering activity during co-infection, which manifests itself in a sharp inhibition of the infectious activity of SARS-CoV-2.

Published: December 2023

Gene therapy is a promising approach in modern medicine, particularly in oncology but faces challenges in efficiency and selectivity leads to side-effects. To improve specificity, we aim to design a 4-arms DNA-machine capable of distinguishing between wild-type and mutated KRAS, a common oncogene. The DNA-machine is based on DNAzyme technology, with a binary DNAzyme detecting the mutation by cleaving a fluorescence reporter substrate (F-sub) when bound to the mutant KRAS mRNA. The machine’s efficient melting temperature ensures specificity for the mutation. This DNA-machine will enable targeted gene therapy, selectively inducing cell death in the presence of the KRAS mutation, offering a potential advancement in cancer treatment.

Daily use of a bakuchiol and squalane-containing face serum impacts skin esthetics
Authors: Rastogi Rachna , Gholap Anjali
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

The objective is to determine the impact of an oil-based face serum containing bakuchiol and squalane in improving skin esthetics such as texture and tone upon daily use.

Material and Methods:

A non-comparative, single-arm study on 50 females (aged 18–50 years) with Fitzpatrick skin types III and IV was conducted for four weeks. The impact of the formulation on skin-related parameters was determined by instrumental analysis and dermatologist evaluation. Cosmetic acceptability and safety of the preparation were recorded through self-evaluation questionnaires.

Results:

The formulation was safe and well tolerated throughout the study duration. A significant reduction in the appearance of age/dark spots (ITA°), Δ ITA° = 38.28% compared to baseline, was observed in two weeks. Up to 11.9% improvement in skin elasticity was noted in four weeks of usage. The continuous once-a-day application also helped in reducing the transepidermal water loss throughout the study.

Conclusion:

Regular use of facial oil serum can help improve skin texture and tone.
Glycemic control and adverse effects in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving basal-bolus insulin regimen versus premixed insulin regimen: An observational study
Authors: Mitra Prithwis , Siddhanta Sattik , Yasmin Nafisha , Sengupta Gairik
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

Several studies have compared the basal-bolus (BB) and premixed (PM) insulin regimens with varying results. This study aimed to evaluate the glycemic control and occurrence of hypoglycemia with these regimens in insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in the Indian subpopulation.

Materials and Methods:

This was a 12-week (wk) prospective, observational study in 60 adult patients (distributed 1:1) with >7 years of T2D and uncontrolled with three oral drugs. Changes in glycemic parameters at wk4 and wk12 were assessed, and hypoglycemia events were also recorded.

Results:

The PM insulin showed a significant decrease in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at wk4 from baseline (P = 0.02) and at wk12 (P < 0.001), while in the BB insulin group, the change was significant only at wk12 (P < 0.0001). There were greater reductions in the PM group in FPG at wk4 (PM vs. BB: P = 0.04) and wk12 (P = 0.03) compared to the BB group. The post-prandial plasma glucose in both groups significantly reduced from baseline at wk4 (PM group P = 0.034; BB group; P = 0.034) and wk12 (PM group P < 0.0001 and BB group: P < 0.0001). However, there were no between-group differences at wk4 (P = 0.12) but only at wk12 (P = 0.009) with greater reductions in the PM group. The PM group showed a slightly greater reduction in glycated hemoglobin versus the BB group (9.18% vs. 7.08%; P = 0.39). There was no significant difference (P = 0.49) in the incidence of hypoglycemia.

Conclusion:

Both treatments significantly improved glycemic control and were not associated with any severe episodes of hypoglycemia. Therefore, the choice should instead be guided by the insulin-related (posology, complexity) and patient-related (dietary habits, adherence levels) factors.
Managing the “big black brain” in low resource setting: A case report of early outcome after hinge craniotomy
Authors: Siahaan Andre Marolop Pangihutan , Nainggolan Bahagia Willibrordus Maria , Susanto Martin , Indharty Rr Suzy , Tandean Steven
Published: December 2023

Background:

The big black brain (BBB) phenomenon is described as an infant’s response to an acute subdural hematoma (SDH). It is characterized by hypodensity and swelling of the supratentorial compartment as a whole. Numerous factors may contribute to the formation of the BBB. Due to its high morbidity and mortality, the management of BBB is still debatable. In this report, we describe a 2-month-old boy who had bilateral hemispheric hypodensity and underwent hinge craniotomy.

Case Description:

The patient was referred to our hospital with decreased consciousness. The patient had a history of seizures and cardiopulmonary arrest. There is no history of trauma. The computed tomography revealed a subacute SDH on the left parietal and occipital lobe along with hypodensity in both hemispheres with preservation of posterior fossa, consistent with hemispheric hypodensity. We performed a hinge craniotomy for the emergency procedure and evacuated only the hemisphere with the bleeding side. The patient cried spontaneously 24 hours after the procedure and was discharged six days later.

Conclusion:

Early outcomes of hinge craniotomy as an alternative procedure for treating the BBB were positive. However, long-term outcomes, particularly the infant’s development, should be monitored.
Geometric Morphometric Study of Wing Shape in Leva indica (Acrididae: Gomphocerinae) from Different Environmental Sites of Coimbatore, India
Authors: Suganya M. , Manimegalai K.
Published: December 2023

A landmark based geometric morphometric study was carried out to describe the variation in wing of male and female Leva indica from different environmental sites of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 60 male and 60 female forewings were used in this study. To demonstrate the variation in wing shape, landmark data of each individual was examined through the morphometric softwares namely tps-Util, tps-Dig, tps-Relw, tps-Small and integrated software PAST. In total, 19 landmarks were identified in both male and female wings of L. indica. Based on the landmark coordinates, the first two relative warp analysis showed significant variation within and between the male and female wing shape from different sites. Procrustes vs. tangent space distance showed that the distances were similar within males and females but significant differences appeared between the male and female wings of L. indica. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) between the male and female wings scatter plots also showed clear distinction from the result. The obtained results indicate that each sex of L. indica from different regions displays morphological differences in wing shape. These morphological changes could have occurred as a result of phenotypic plasticity.
Leaf extract of Cimbopogan citratus supported CuO/ZnO nanocomposite and their applications in photocatalytic and antibacterial activities
Authors: Igneshgrace A. , Sindhuja E.
Published: December 2023

We have focused on the green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and CuO coated with ZnO nanocomposite (CuO/ZnO) by using leaf extract of Cimpobogan citrates (CC) as reducing and stabilizing agent. Copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O) and zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O) are the forerunners in the hydrothermal synthesis. The prepared ZnONPs, CuONPs and CuO/ZnO nanocomposite were characterized using various instrument techniques such as Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and High Resolution-Transmission Electron microscope (HR-TEM). The results showed that the average size of CuO/ZnO nanocomposite was 20-50 nm. The Tauc plot of CuO/ZnO nanocomposite shows low band gap (1.56ev). Under visible light illumination, methylene blue (MB) was degraded photocatalytically using ZnONPs, CuONPs and CuO/ZnO nanocomposite which was then examined using UV-visible spectroscopy. In comparison to ZnONPs (65%) and CuONPs (80%), CuO/ZnO nanocomposite showed superior photocatalytic activity for the breakdown of MB with a high percentage degradation efficiency (85%). The photocatalytic degradation rate constant was evaluated by using a pseudo-first order kinetic equation. Additionally, the agar disc diffusion method was used to examine the antibacterial activity against two bacterial strains (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) and a sizable zone of inhibition against the bacterial strains was found.
Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye from aqueous solution using TiO2 doped Activated carbon
Authors: Saravanan N.
Published: December 2023

The effluent coming out from the textile, paper and food industries containing dye is strongly coloured and reveals very harmful effects on living beings. In order to reduce wastewater pollution, the degradation of dye into non-toxic form is desirable. The photo catalytic degradation of methylene blue is reported in the present study. The irradiation of aqueous solution of methylene blue dye in presence of photo catalyst and UV light was carried out in the batch photo reactor. Titanium dioxide TiO2 /CFAC was used as photo catalyst for the study. The rate of decolorisation was estimated from residual concentration spectrophotometrically. Effects of various operating parameters such as the irradiation time, initial pH and the amounts of catalyst on the degradation of the dyes were investigated. Results show that the degradation kinetics fitted well to pseudo second order rate law. The maximum decolorizing efficiency occurred in less than 50min with 50mg of TiO2 /CFAC catalyst dose.

Authors: Vaghela Hiral , Parmar Kokila , Mahyavanshi Jyotindra
Published: December 2023

Our study revealed the biological synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous bark extract of plant named Bauhinia variegata (Kaanchnar). Biomolecules present in the plants act as a reducing and capping agent. In this reduction reaction, gold (III) metal was reduced by biomolecules present in plants leading to formation of AuNPs. Biosynthesized AuNPs were characterized by spectral analysis (XRD, FTIR, UV-visible) and imaging microscopy. Antibacterial study of the biosynthesized AuNPs was examined against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria using agar well diffusion method and AuNPs exhibited an excellent inhibition zone against mentioned bacteria. In vitro anticancer study of AuNPs was performed on MCF-7 cell line. Compared to standard drug, AuNPs exhibited potent anticancer activity with the IC50 value 15.55 μg/ml.

Published: December 2023

The study provides a thorough examination of the biofuel potential of three unique lignocellulosic crop residues: rice straw (Oryza sativa), corn stalk (Zea mays) and sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) of Odisha. In the investigation, we explored the compositional, thermal and structural characteristics of these biomass sources, shedding light on their suitability for sustainable bioenergy production. Proximate analysis indicated variances in critical factors in the range of 5.9-14.8% (moisture content), 1.8-19.4% (ash content), 60-72.4% (volatile matter) and 9.6-14.7% (fixed carbon) which contribute to the various energy generating capacities of these materials. An in-depth investigation of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin concentration revealed the promise of sugarcane bagasse as a cellulose-rich option for bioethanol synthesis. Thermochemical profiling using thermogravimetric and FTIR analysis revealed information about thermal stability and chemical changes, with pretreatment having an important role in increasing biomass accessibility and crystallinity. The significance of pretreatment-induced crystallinity for effective enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentable sugar generation was highlighted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) . Overall, this study advances our understanding of the intricate relationships between biomass composition, structure and bioenergy potential, offering valuable insights for the development of sustainable biofuel production strategies.

Authors: Van Dinh Thuy , Chinh Pham The , Tham Pham Thi , Nga Mai Thanh , Ounkuea Thongsaving
Published: December 2023

In this work, the essential bark oil (EBO) of Illicium verum cultivated at Cao Bang in Vietnam obtained by hydro-distillation was investigated for its chemical composition by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Trans-anethole (78.6%), estragole (13.7%), linalool (2.1%) and eucalyptol (2.0%) were determined to be the main components among 14 identified compounds, which accounted for 96.4% of the total EBO. Anti-inflammatory activity of EBO was evaluated by inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. EBO exhibited an interesting inhibitory effect on NO production in LPS-stimulated RAW246.7 cells with an inhibitory value at 93.87 μg/mL. From the starting material, trans-anethole isolated from EBO, there are two new amine-derivatives that were synthesized. The structure elucidation of these analogues of trans-anethole was carried out by 1D (1H NMR and 13C NMR) and IR spectral analysis.
Efficiency of Production Factors in The Farming of Bird’s Eye Chili in Lamoahi Village, North Buton Regency
Authors: Selvian Selvian , Abdi Abdi , Rosmawaty Rosmawaty
Published: December 2023

Chili is a commodity that often triggers inflation at certain times or periods due to sudden price increases. The reason is that the availability of chilies is not sufficient for market demand due to production inefficiencies. This research aims to determine the factors that influence cayenne pepper production and determine the efficiency of using production factors using the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results of the research show that seeds and labour have a significant effect on increasing cayenne pepper farming, while land area, fertilizers, and pesticides do not have a significant effect on production. The use of production factors has not yet reached the maximum level of efficiency. Production factors that are not yet efficient are land area and labour so their utilization needs to be increased. Meanwhile, inefficient production factors are seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides so their use does not need to be increased or reduced.
Amplified Photomodulation of a Bis(dithienylethene)-Substituted Phosphine

Published: December 2023

Phosphine ligands play a crucial role in homogeneous catalysis, allowing to fine-tune the catalytic activity of various metals by modifying their structure. An ultimate challenge in this field is to reach controlled modulation of catalysis in situ, for which the development of phosphines capable of photoswitching between states with differential electronic properties has been proposed. To magnify this light-induced behavior, in this work we describe a novel phosphine ligand incorporating two dithienylethene photoswitchable moieties tethered to the same phosphorus atom. Double photoisomerization was observed for this ligand, which remains unhindered upon gold(I) complexation. As a result, the preparation of a fully ring-closed phosphine isomer was accomplished, for which amplified variation of phosphorus electron density was verified both experimentally and by computational calculations. Accordingly, the presented molecular design based on multiphotochromic phosphines could open new ways for preparing enhanced photoswitchable catalytic systems.

Published: December 2023

The radical difunctionalization of alkynes represents a powerful and straightforward approach for the synthesis of sophisticated molecules. However, the difunctionalization of alkynes mediated by bifunctional reagents remains unexplored, despite significant progress having been made in alkene difunctionalization. Here, we report a novel arylsulfonylacetate skeleton in which aryl rings are attached to acetates through SO2, serving as a powerful bifunctional reagent for the alkylarylation of alkynes under photoredox conditions. This modular bifunctional reagent enables the simultaneous incorporation of a wide range of functional groups, including (hetero)aryl ring and alkyl carboxylate into alkynes, resulting in synthetic valuable all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkene derivatives. This transformation is distinguished by its redox-neutral nature, readily accessible starting materials, compatibility with diverse functional groups and its capacity to facilitate convergent synthesis. The utility of this approach was further demonstrated though the late-stage functionalization of complex molecules, the preparation of fluorescent molecules and anti-cancer drugs
Molecular driving forces for water adsorption in MOF-808: A comparative analysis with UiO-66
Authors: Frank Hilliary O. , Paesani Francesco
Published: December 2023

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their unique porous structures and versatile functionality, have emerged as promising materials for adsorption, separation, and storage of diverse molecular species. In this study, we investigate water adsorption in MOF-808, a prototypical MOF that shares the same secondary building unit (SBU) as UiO-66, and elucidate how differences in topology and connectivity between the two MOFs influence the adsorption mechanism. To this end, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to calculate several thermodynamic and dynam- ical properties of water in MOF-808 as a function of relative humidity (RH), from the initial adsorption step to full pore filling. At low RH, the μ3-OH groups of the SBUs form hydrogen bonds with the initial water molecules entering the pores, which triggers the filling of these pores before the μ3-OH groups in other pores become en- gaged in hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Our analyses indicate that the pores of MOF-808 become filled by water sequentially as the RH increases. A similar mechanism has been reported for water adsorption in UiO-66, a MOF that shares the same SBU with MOF-808. Despite this similarity, our study highlights distinct ther- modynamic properties and framework characteristics that influence the adsorption process differently in MOF-808 and UiO-66.
Klasy społeczne w dyskursie publicznym: Klasa średnia i pasaże polskiej polityczności
Authors: Świrek Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Artykuł podejmuje problem reprezentacji klas społecznych w dyskursie publicznym. Reprezentacje te powinny być badane w sposób, który uwzględni ich symboliczny i wyobrażeniowy potencjał oraz pokaże ich polityczny charakter. Autor argumentuje za akcentowaniem złożoności i nieprzejrzystości sposobu, w jaki klasy są reprezentowane w dyskursie. Dyskurs powinien być traktowany jako pewien całościowy proces, w którym za pomocą symboli i figur ustanawia się reguły władzy symbolicznej (co jest legitymizowane, co jest uniwersalne i sprawiedliwe) oraz mobilizuje afekty polityczne (w obronie prześladowanej mniejszości lub legitymizującej demokratyczną debatę większości). Zamiast „weryfikować” reprezentacje pod kątem ich zgodności z obiektywnymi danymi lub ujmować je jako konstrukcje dowolnie kształtujące życie zbiorowe, warto przyjrzeć się im na sposób dialektyczny, by uchwycić w nich to, co wygłoszone i przemilczane. Taka metoda badania zostaje zastosowana do przykładu debaty wokół pojęcia klasy średniej, która przetoczyła się przez polskie media w 2021 roku. Klasa średnia jest definiowana jako awangarda gospodarcza i polityczna Polski lub jako szeroka baza demokratycznej większości. W zakończeniu artykułu powraca problem władzy symbolicznej i afektywnej dyskursywnych reprezentacji także w odniesieniu do innych klas, niż „klasa średnia”. Zarysowane zostają ponadto kierunki dalszych badań nad reprezentacjami innych klas.

Professional competences of social workers: changing priorities in the conditions of war
Authors: Sadrytska Svitlana
Published: December 2023

The problem of providing personnel with the appropriate competence of social services in the conditions of martial law remains relevant for Ukraine. It is predicted that under the influence of the general labor shortage caused by the war, the problem of shortage of specialists in the field of social work may arise. The author of the article emphasizes that, as of now, the distribution of specialists in the field of social work is uneven across the regions of Ukraine and has not reached a critical state, but requires special attention of scientists and practitioners. In recent years, the list and formation of competencies of social workers has been the focus of attention of scientists in the context of professional and educational standards. The realities of wartime changed the conditions and practices of social work, accordingly shifting the emphasis in the required competencies. The purpose of the article is to analyze the trends and factors affecting the required competences of social workers, thereby intensifying the scientific discussion on reformatting professional and educational standards. The author considers competence as a characteristic that determines the specialist's ability to solve professional tasks, using knowledge, life and professional experience, relying on one's own
values and abilities.
The competencies of a social worker are considered in the context of modern practices of social services in Ukraine. The author identifies the main trends in the change in the composition of social workers: the appearance of employees physically injured as a result of hostilities (killed, missing, injured); an increase in the share of employees who migrated abroad or moved within the country; increase in the number of employees with disabilities of various nature. In the author's opinion, changes in the requirements for the competence of a social worker are influenced by the demand of the labor market, so he examines the proposals that are relevant in the Kharkiv region. Considering the professional skills in demand, the author concludes that employers are paying more attention to «soft skills», although the requirements for a diploma, work experience, language and computer skills remain unchanged. The conditions of the war actualized the requirements for the ability to work under pressure, in difficult conditions, to analyze risks and threats. Employers now consider stress resistance to be an equally important advantage. Summarizing, the author notes that the professional standard after the war will need adjustment and suggests focusing on the European standard
Crisis сommunication in social work during the war
Authors: Plakhova Olena
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the concepts of crisis and crisis communication in social work. The author notes the relevance of the need for the scientific development of algorithms and programs of crisis communications in social work during the war. Crisis communication in social work is defined as the establishment of sustainable interaction between local governments, civil society institutions, social institutions, churches, business representatives, and contact audiences (community residents, internally displaced persons, families of fallen soldiers, and other categories of victims of warfare) about existing problems and needs, their prompt resolution by all participants of the interaction. The following key properties of crisis communication in social work are identified by the author: flexibility and adaptability of methods of interaction between subjects; strengthening the informal means of reception and transmission of information; reduction of centralism in the communication process; promptness of the situational response to emerging problems. Crisis communication in social work is a sequence of actions that form a сеrtain communication strategy. The article determines the requirements for the development of a communication strategy during martial law in Ukraine and measures for its implementation, namely: identification of all possible contact audiences expecting information about further actions; reporting only verified and confirmed information; establishment of channels for receiving feedback from the contact audiences, as well as systematicity of two-way interaction of the subjects; assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the communication activities carried out in order to avoid mistakes in crisis communication in the future. The author emphasizes that the crisis contains both potential threats and the danger of loss, as well as new
renewal and transformation opportunities for society, creating new modern approaches to interaction after a crisis period. Crisis phenomena in society will contribute to the emergence of new or modification of existing social practices, and cause a reaction to them from the public. As a result, new behavioral and communication practices and new subjects of interaction will emerge.

Authors: Vitkovska Inna
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main areas of work of «third sector» organizations in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine and the determination of the problems they face in their activities. Based on the secondary analysis of statistical data, it was found that the number of non-governmental and charitable organizations in Ukraine is growing year by year, which is one of the signs of the development of civil society. During 2022, 96,500 non-governmental and 19,112 charitable organizations were registered in Ukraine. The author's analysis of the websites of non-governmental and charitable organizations and the results of sociological research allowed us to conclude that the main trends and areas of work of «third sector» organizations include: an increase in the number of non-governmental, charitable organizations, fundraising platforms and volunteer headquarters, which are focused on helping the army, internally displaced persons, centers for displaced persons and victims of war, payment of monetary aid and assistance with evacuation to safe places in Ukraine or abroad; increase in financing of non-governmental and charitable organizations at the expense of international donor organizations; mass spread of voluntary and charitable practices among the population of Ukraine and the growth of trust in the activities of «third sector» organizations. Based on the analysis of in-depth interviews with the heads of non-governmental and charitable organizations of the Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava and Donetsk regions, which were conducted within the framework of the research topic of the Sociology of Management and Social Work Department «Actual trends in the management of social services» in November 2022, we can to conclude that the most urgent problems of these organizations in the conditions of martial law are continuation of military operations; creation of safe working conditions for employees and beneficiaries during air alarms; property damage; personnel turnover; lack of a sufficient number of specialists and a long search for narrow specialists (lawyer, psychologist, social worker, crisis consultant); excessive load on one employee; many beneficiaries; a long wait for the collection of funds from donors for the implementation of aid programs; absence of a state component in the financing of the organization's projects and the social order for social services provided by the organization; lack of technical equipment, etc.

En este artículo se presenta una revisión documental sistemática acerca de las investigaciones que se han realizado sobre el Programa Nacional de Bilingüismo (PNB) en Colombia. Aborda los propósitos e intenciones de los programas implementados para el dominio del inglés en el país como un instrumento para el fortalecimiento del capital humano, la competitividad y la productividad, los cuales obedecen a dinámicas globalizadoras que, si bien integran a la población nacional con el mundo, desconocen la diversidad cultural de las lenguas que forman parte de la realidad social y cultural del país . El trabajo finaliza con recomendaciones que podrían ser útiles en la implementación o reorientación del PNB.
exclusión como punto de partida para plantear la inclusión social
Authors: Zarta Rojas Fabian Andrey , Juliao Vargas Carlos Germán
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo propone la revisión del anverso de la inclusión social con el fin de comprender de forma más profunda las porosidades o alternativas existentes para plantearla; por ello, resulta interesante repensar el lugar teórico-práctico de la exclusión desde sus modelos y formas políticas. El método que se utilizó para desarrollar esta reflexión fue el deconstruccionismo como modo de dotar de un nuevo sentido un concepto a partir de la revisión de sus diversos elementos. Si la exclusión es un problema social que debe preocupar en las sociedades occidentales, también se debe reconocer que los procesos que la generan conciernen a todos y, en ese sentido, se debe continuar con la reflexión y la implementación de acciones que permitan, cada vez más, acortar esas brechas que la violencia ha generado a lo largo de la historia sociopolítica del continente.

В Україні існує велика кількість спортивних одноборств, є сучасні які виникли в останні п’ятнадцять, двадцять років почали культивуватися і мають розвиток це MMA, Бразильське джиу джитсу, Греплінг. Давно викладаються та мають популярність олімпійські одноборства Бокс, Боротьба класична, Дзюдо і східні одноборства Карате Ушу та інші. Але існує певний інформаційний вакуум навколо національних видів спорту особливо одноборств Спас, Бойовий Гопак, Козацька боротьба Хрест, Сварга тощо, з метою висвітлення, розширення інформаційного простору та подальшого розвитку таких видів одноборств ми проаналізували наявний матеріал з друкованих і інтернет джерел. У статті ми висвітлимо та проаналізуємо проблематику розвитку українського національного виду одноборств. А саме дамо характеристику українському рукопашу «Спас». Який є офіційним видом спорту в Україні та включений в класифікацію видів спорту Міністерством молоді та спорту, має сталий розвиток протягом останніх двадцяти п’яти років в Україні. Виділимо та розглянемо основні етапи розвитку і розділи в українському рукопаші «Спас». Проаналізований нами вид одноборств гармонійно об’єднує в собі фізичну, морально вольову та духовну підготовку спортсменів. Напрямки в українському рукопаші «Спас» розраховані на різні рівні підготовленості та фізичні здібності спортсменів. Зайняття в групах будуються за принципом від простого до складного, спочатку спортсмени опановують розділи які розвивають загально фізичну підготовку та спритність. А по мірі розвитку в методику зайнять українським рукопашем «Спас» закладені спеціально фізична, технічна та морально вольва підготовка яка розвиває силу, гнучкість і спеціальні якості спортсмена які необхідні для досягнення результатів в змагальному процесі. Спортсмени які опановують український рукопаш «Спас» можуть приймати участь в змаганнях в усіх розділах дотримуючись правил та вимог до змагальної діяльності. Зауважимо що в змагальній діяльності діє той самий принцип що і в тренувальному процесі від простого до складного що позитивно впливає на фізичний і психологічний стан спортсмена. Підсумуємо зміст статі зробимо висновки.

Футбол – це чудовий спорт для школярів, оскільки він сприяє фізичному розвитку, командній роботі, навичкам співпраці та розвитку фізичної активності. Регулярні тренування допоможуть дітям покращити свої футбольні навички. Навчіть їх пасам, дриблінгу, ударам по воротах і іншим елементам гри. Футбол сприяє покращенню фізичного стану, вимагає бігу, стрибків, швидких рухів та координації, зміцненню м'язів та підвищенню витривалості, вчить школярів спільній роботі та взаємодії в команді, розвитку здорового способу життя серед школярів, оскільки вона вимагає фізичної активності і споживання енергетичної їжі, допомагає розвивати різноманітні навички, такі як навички керування м'ячем, швидкість реакції, спритність та інші. Мета дослідження – розробити програму для підвищення фізичної підготовленості дітей середнього шкільного віку на секційних заняттях із футболу. Об’єкт дослідження – навчально-тренувальний процес секційних занять з футболу. Предмет дослідження – динаміка показників фізичної підготовленості хлопців середнього шкільного віку, які займаються у секції з футболу, під впливом розробленої програми. Суб’єкт дослідження – хлопців 7–8 класів опорного навчального закладу Новомиколаївська спеціалізована загальноосвітня школа І–ІІІ ступенів №1. Методи дослідження: аналіз та узагальнення літературних джерел за темою дослідження; педагогічний експеримент; педагогічні спостереження; педагогічне тестування; методи математичної статистики. Результати дослідження. Розроблено програму для підвищення фізичної підготовленості юнаків, що беруть участь у шкільній секції футболу. У результаті експерименту виявлено, що показники фізичної підготовленості хлопців середнього шкільного віку в експериментальній групі значно покращилися під впливом розробленої програми, яка включала в себе статичні (або ізометричні) вправи. Ці покращення були доведені до наявності даних, порівнюючи їх з контрольною групою.

Педагогічні спостереження й вивчення спеціальної літератури свідчать, що в загальноосвітній школі протягом усіх років навчання, незалежно від соціальних та екологічних умов, на уроках фізичної культури використовують практично ті ж самі вправи. Із віковим розвитком школярів змінюється лише їхнє дозування й ускладнюються вимоги до якості виконання. На сьогоднішній день перспективним напрямом у вирішенні проблеми підвищення ефективності процесу фізичного виховання підростаючого покоління є використання в цьому процесі таких видів спортивної діяльності, як бадмінтон, який користується великою популярністю серед молоді і який отримав останнім часом значний розвиток як в Україні, так і у всьому світі. Мета дослідження – визначити значущість секційних навчально-тренувальних занять із бадмінтону для підвищення показників координаційних здібностей дітей старшого шкільного віку. Об’єкт дослідження – навчально-тренувальний процес секційних занять з бадмінтону. Методи дослідження – аналіз та узагальнення літературних джерел за темою дослідження, педагогічні спостереження, тестування показників координаційних здібностей, методи математичної статистики. На початковому етапі дослідження вихідні значення показників координаційних здібностей хлопців старшого шкільного віку досліджуваних груп не мали статистично вірогідної різниці. Використання засобів бадмінтону в процесі фізичного виховання дітей старшого шкільного віку сприяло істотному покращенню показників координаційних здібностей хлопців і дівчат старшого шкільного віку. Встановлено, що початкові і кінцеві дані в експериментальній групі статистично відрізняються від аналогічних показників контрольної групи наприкінці дослідження. Доведено значущість секційних навчально-тренувальних занять з бадмінтону для підвищення показників координаційних здібностей дітей старшого шкільного віку. Результати дослідження рекомендовані для практичного використання в системі фізичного виховання дітей шкільного віку.
