Cultural-Historical Scientific School: The Issues That L. S. Vygotsky Brought Up
Authors: V. Rubtsov Vitaly
Published: April 2021

The report highlights the fundamentals of L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory and discusses the system of concepts of this scientiﬁc school. The report analyses L.S. Vy-gotsky’s approach, according to which the basis for the development of human psyche is created by a qualitative change of the social situation or, in A.N. Leont’ev’s terms, by a change of human activity. The importance of intelligence and emotions, which are inter-nally connected, is demonstrated in relation to the change of human activity. The role of social interactions in learning and development of children is discussed referring to the challenges of the “new school”.
Concept of Will as an Open Problem in Culture-Historical Context
Authors: N. Tolstykh Nataliya
Published: April 2021

Outlines a new approach to the problem of development of will, emanating from the tradition of thought represented by Vygotsky and Bozhovich. The main conceptual de-velopment lies in drawing a distinction between two concepts – will (volya) and goal appropriation, self-regulation, executive cognitive control of behavior (proyzvolnost’). Both concepts emphasize the readiness and ability of an individual to pursue a goal. The distinction lies in the nature of that goal determination. In will, it is self generated and comes from the inner world of the individual while in goal appropriation, it is determined by an external source but is readily appropriated. A such distinction is supported by re-cent ﬁndings in neuroscience which describe the actualization of di˙erent brain structures depending on whether an individual acts upon will or willingly submission. Hence, the personality development is considered as a process of will development in which will and goal appropriation inter plays and progresses in speciﬁc stages paving the way for subjunctivization or becoming a true subject of that culture.
Cognitive Psychology of Activity: Attention as a Constructive Process
Authors: Falikman Maria , Asmolov Alexander
Published: April 2021

The problem of consciousness is one of the core problems in the contemporary cogni-tive science. Driven by the neuroimaging boom, most researchers look for the neural correlates or signatures of consciousness and awareness in the human brain. However, we believe that the explanatory potential of the cultural-historical activity approach to this problem is far from being exhausted. We propose Cognitive Psychology of Activity research program, or the activity theory-based constructivism as an attempt to account for multiple phenomena of human awareness and attention. This approach relies upon cultural-historical psychology and the concept of mediation by Lev S. Vygotsky, activity theory and the concept of image generation by Alexey N. Leontiev, the physiology of ac-tivity and the metaphor of movement construction by Nikolai A. Bernstein, transferred to the psychology of perception as image construction by a number of Russian researchers in 1960-es, and the understanding of attention as action by evolutionary cognitive psy-chologists of 1980-es. The central concept of our approach is a concept of task, deﬁned by Leontiev as “a goal assigned in speciﬁc circumstances”. The goal determines choice and use of available cultural means (“mediators”) consistent with the circumstances or conditions of task performance, which in turn provide for the construction of processing units allowing for more successful (“attentive”) performance and for the awareness of visual stimuli which could otherwise be missed or ignored. The perceptual task accom-plishment is controlled at several levels organized heterarchically, with possible strategic reorganizations of this system demonstrating the constructive nature of human cognition.
Lev Vygotsky: From Theator to Psychology
Authors: S. Sobkin Vladimir
Published: April 2021

The article presents the analysis of L. S. Vygotsky’s works dedicated to the theater arts and is organized according Vygotsky’s di˙erent life and work stages. Meanwhile, special attention is paid to the Gomel period during which a large number of reviews were written by Vygotsky and publishe in “Nash ponedel’nik” and “Polesskaia pravda” newspapers. It is shown that even at the beginning of his work, he was interested not only in a range of problems in art, but also psychological problems related to art perception and creativeness. Vygotsky’s usage of structural concept ideas about the peculiar properties of literary text composition are also explored. Vygotsky analyzes the socio- psychological mechanisms of theatrical art e˙ect. Furthermore, those areas which are widely used by Vygotsky in determining the characteristics of cast reincarnation are examined. Special emphasis is placed on the di˙erent elements of the actor techniques (speech, movement, emotional expression, acting personality and etc.). Materials are widely used in this study and help identify the socio- cultural context that deﬁned Vygotsky’s values at di˙erent stages of his work, related to his drama criticism and his formation as a professional psychologist.

La pandémie, source de risques et d’opportunités pour la mise en place de pratiques de transition collaboratives lors de l'entrée à l'école
Authors: Duval Stéphanie , Housen Marie , Lehrer Joanne , Picard Florence
Published: April 2021

La transition vers l’école est une étape importante dans la vie d’un enfant et de sa famille, laquelle amène un lot d'émotions, d'attentes et d'inquiétudes, voire d'ajustements de la part de tous les acteurs y étant impliqués (enfants, parents, personnel éducateur et enseignant, etc.). Des recherches réalisées dans plusieurs contextes internationaux ont montré l’importance de mettre en place des initiatives permettant à l'enfant et à sa famille de vivre des transitions harmonieuses, notamment celles qui se déroulent à l’entrée de la période préscolaire, puisque cette dernière conditionne son bien-être et influence les autres moments de passage vécus tout au long de son parcours scolaire. En contexte de pandémie, en des temps où la distanciation sociale et physique est préconisée, comment les pratiques de transition sont-elles différentes de celles mises en place auparavant? Ce contexte de crise peut-il générer des transformations de pratiques collaboratives qui assurent une continuité dans les expériences vécues par l’enfant ? Cet article de synthèse traite de ces questions, en considérant le contexte de pandémie actuel comme source de possibles risques mais aussi d’occasions pour la mise en place de pratiques de collaboration entre l’école et la famille.

Authors: Impedovo Maria Antonieta
Published: April 2021

Dans cet exposé, nous explorons les potentialités des réseaux sociaux pour le développement professionnel des enseignants dans une prospective d’agentivité. Le réseautage est une compétence clé dans les carrières professionnelles, soutenant l’apprentissage personnel et professionnel de l’individu, en particulier dans les situations de crise, de transformation personnelle et de changement social. À travers l'observation des groupes de réseaux sociaux (sur Facebook et Reddit) liée à la question du Covid-19 et l'exploration récente de la littérature pédagogique, nous voulons mettre en évidence comment les interactions des enseignants via internet peuvent faciliter le développement professionnel et collaboratif et soutenir un engagement épistémique collectif. La dimension collaborative et agentive exprimée dans l'interaction en ligne conduisant à discuter des implications sur le développement professionnel formel et informel. En fait, les réseaux sociaux peuvent être considérés comme des tiers espaces entre l'apprentissage formel et informel pour soutenir le développement professionnel, apportant également une connotation internationale et interculturelle. Certaines questions sont ouvertes sur les implications de l'engagement en ligne sur la formation initiale et continue des enseignants et sur l'impact des réseaux sociaux pour introduire des innovations dans les pratiques professionnelles et les communautés locales.

Robust increase of Indian monsoon rainfall and its variability under future warming in CMIP6 models
Authors: Katzenberger Anja , Schewe Jacob , Pongratz Julia , Levermann Anders
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The Indian summer monsoon is an integral part of the global climate system. As its seasonal rainfall plays a crucial role in India's agriculture and shapes many other aspects of life, it affects the livelihood of a fifth of the world's population. It is therefore highly relevant to assess its change under potential future climate change. Global climate models within the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) indicated a consistent increase in monsoon rainfall and its variability under global warming. Since the range of the results of CMIP5 was still large and the confidence in the models was limited due to partly poor representation of observed rainfall, the updates within the latest generation of climate models in CMIP6 are of interest. Here, we analyze 32 models of the latest CMIP6 exercise with regard to their annual mean monsoon rainfall and its variability. All of these models show a substantial increase in June-to-September (JJAS) mean rainfall under unabated climate change (SSP5-8.5) and most do also for the other three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways analyzed (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0). Moreover, the simulation ensemble indicates a linear dependence of rainfall on global mean temperature with a high agreement between the models independent of the SSP if global warming is the dominant forcing of the monsoon dynamics as it is in the 21st century; the multi-model mean for JJAS projects an increase of 0.33 mm d−1 and 5.3 % per kelvin of global warming. This is significantly higher than in the CMIP5 projections. Most models project that the increase will contribute to the precipitation especially in the Himalaya region and to the northeast of the Bay of Bengal, as well as the west coast of India. Interannual variability is found to be increasing in the higher-warming scenarios by almost all models. The CMIP6 simulations largely confirm the findings from CMIP5 models, but show an increased robustness across models with reduced uncertainties and updated magnitudes towards a stronger increase in monsoon rainfall.

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Deep Learning is becoming an increasingly important way to produce accurate hydrological predictions across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Uncertainty estimations are critical for actionable hydrological forecasting, and while standardized community benchmarks are becoming an increasingly important part of hydrological model development and research, similar tools for benchmarking uncertainty estimation are lacking. This contributions demonstrates that accurate uncertainty predictions can be obtained with Deep Learning. We establish an uncertainty estimation benchmarking procedure and present four Deep Learning baselines. Three baselines are based on Mixture Density Networks and one is based on Monte Carlo dropout. The results indicate that these approaches constitute strong baselines, especially the former ones. Additionaly, we provide a post-hoc model analysis to put forward some qualitative understanding of the resulting models. This analysis extends the notion of performance and show that learn nuanced behaviors in different situations.
Deep, Wide, or Shallow? Artificial Neural Network Topologies for Predicting Intermittent Flows
Authors: Forghanparast Farhang , Hernandez Elma Annette , Uddameri Venkatesh
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams (IRES) comprise 60 % of all streams in the US and about 50 % of the streams worldwide. Furthermore, climate-driven changes are expected to force a shift towards intermittency in currently perennial streams. Most modeling studies have treated intermittent streamflows as a continuum. However, it is better to envision flow data of IRES as a “mixture-type”, comprised of both flow and no-flow regimes. It is therefore hypothesized that data-driven models with both classification and regression cells can improve the streamflow forecasting abilities in these streams. Deep and wide Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) comprising of classification and regression cells were developed here by stacking them in series and parallel configurations. These deep and wide network architectures were compared against the commonly used single hidden layer ANNs (shallow), as a baseline, for modeling IRES flow series under the continuum assumption. New metrics focused on no-flow persistence and transitions between flow and no-flow states were formulated using contingency tables and Markov chain analysis. Nine IRES across the state of Texas, US, were used as a wide range of testbeds with different hydro-climatic characteristics. Model overfitting and the curse-of-dimensionality were reduced using extreme learning machines (ELM), and balancing training data using the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), greedy learning and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). The addition of classifier cells greatly improved the ability to distinguish between no-flow and flow states, in turn, improving the ability to capture no-flow persistence (dryness) and transitions to and from flow states (dryness initiation and cessation). The wide network topology provided better results when the focus was on capturing low flows and the deep topology did well in capturing extreme flows (zero and > 75th percentile).

Published: April 2021

Abstract. National and regional historical landslide databases are increasingly viewed as providing empirical evidence for the geomorphic effects of ongoing environmental change and for supporting adaptive territorial planning. In this work, we present the design and current content of the Czech Historical Landslide Database (CHILDA), the first of its kind for the territory of Czechia (the Czech Republic). We outline the CHILDA system, its functionality and technical solution. The database was established by merging and extending the fragmented regional datasets for highly landslide prone areas in Czechia. Currently, the database includes 699 records (619 landslides, 75 rockfalls, and 5 other movement types) encompassing the period from the oldest determined records (1132) up to 1989 which represents an important cultural, political and socioeconomic divide. Along with characterizing the content of the database, we discuss its further developments and applications.
Reflection tomography by depth warping: A case study across the Java trench
Authors: Xia Yueyang , Klaeschen Dirk , Kopp Heidrun , Schnabel Michael
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Accurate subsurface velocity models are crucial for geological interpretations based on seismic depth images. Seismic reflection tomography is an effective iterative method to update and refine a preliminary velocity model for depth imaging. Based on residual move-out analysis of reflectors in common image point gathers an update of the velocity is estimated by a ray-based tomography. To stabilize the tomography, several preconditioning strategies exist. Most critical is the estimation of the depth error to account for the residual move-out of the reflector in the common image point gathers. Because the depth errors for many closely spaced image gathers must be picked, manual picking is extremely time-consuming, human biased, and not reproducible. Data-driven picking algorithms based on coherence or semblance analysis are widely used for hyperbolic or linear events. However, for complex-shaped depth events, pure data-driven picking is difficult. To overcome this, the warping method named Non-Rigid Matching is used to estimate a depth error displacement field. Warping is used, e.g., to merge photographic images or to match two seismic images from time-lapse data. By calculating the displacements between an offset to its neighbouring offset in the common image point domain, a locally smooth-shaped displacement field is defined for each data sample. Depending on the complexity of the subsurface, sample tracking through the displacement field along predefined horizons or on a simple regular grid yields discrete depth error values for the tomography. The application to a multi-channel seismic line across the Sunda subduction zone offshore Lombok island, Indonesia, illustrates the approach and documents the advantages of the method to estimate a detailed velocity structure in a complex tectonic regime. By incorporating the warping scheme into the reflection tomography, we demonstrate an increase in the velocity resolution and precision by improving the data-driven accuracy of depth error picks with arbitrary shapes. This approach offers the possibility to use the full capacities of tomography and further leads to more accurate interpretations of complex geological structures.

As a result of an analysis of the long-term average salinity distributions at four standard sections of the Aniva Bay, it was shown that in the late autumn (November-December) there was an inflow of modified Amur low-salinity water along its eastern shore. According to the results of two oceanographic surveys performed on October 29-31, 2013 and November 29-03, 2013, a large-scale desalination in the northeastern part of the bay occurred in conditions of extreme river flow, much earlier than usual, was revealed. A year earlier, instrumental measurements of temperature and salinity revealed the appearance of this water in the area (salinity decreased to 27.5 psu) at the beginning of December 2012 it retained its influence until mid-March 2013. The revealed feature makes it necessary to consider the ecological habitats of certain species of aquatic organisms in the area in a different way.

Many large-scale dynamic phenomena in the Earth’s atmosphere are associated with the processes of propagation and breaking of Rossby waves. A new method for identifying the Rossby wave breaking (RWB) is proposed. It is based on the detection of breakings centers by analyzing the shape of the contours of potential vorticity or temperature on quasimaterial surfaces: isentropic and iserthelic (surfaces of constant Ertel potential vorticity (PV)), with further RWB center clustering to larger regions. The method is applied to the set of constant PV levels (0.3 to 9.8 PVU with a step of 0.5 PVU) at the level of potential temperature of 350 K for 12:00 UTC. The ERA-Interim reanalysis data from 1979 to 2019 are used for the method development. The type of RWB (cyclonic/anticyclonic), its area and center are determined by analyzing the vortex geometry at each PV level for every day. The RWBs obtained at this stage are designated as elementary breakings. Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (DBSCAN) was applied to all elementary breakings for each month. As a result, a graphic dataset describing locations and dynamics of RWBs for every month from 1979 to 2019 is formed. The RWB frequency is also evaluated for each longitude, taking into account the duration of each RWB and the number of levels involved, as well as the anomalies of these parameters.

The results of one-dimensional calculations of the height profiles of nucleated sulfate aerosol particles for the northern mid-latitudes and tropics in winter are presented. Numerical calculations were performed using a three-dimensional model of the transport and transformation of multicompo- nent gas and aerosol substances in the atmosphere, incorporating photochemistry, nucleation involving neutral molecules and ions, as well as condensation/evaporation and coagulation. It is found that the resulting dynamics of the formation of aerosol particle nuclei is not a simple sum of ion and binary (water vapor/sulfuric acid) nucleation rates. This dynamics is determined by the ratio of critical radii of nucleated particles due to binary and ion nucleation of these substances (rcr_bin and rcr_ion) depending on temperature, relative humidity, and ionization rate. This should be taken into account in modeling the gas and aerosol composition of the atmosphere and comparing calculated and observed data.

Published: April 2021

Iron deficiency and zinc deficiency are known to disturb cognitive functions especially in infants and preschool children. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of zinc deficiency and iron deficiency on cognitive function (with Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA] score) in females. We designed a randomized controlled prospective study. 41 iron deficient female patients and 40 healthy volunteers were involved in the study. The average MoCA score ± SD was 24,63 ± 4,3 (range 11–30) in iron deficiency anemia (IDA), and 27.43± 2.02 (23-30) in healthy volunteers. Zinc level was 97.06 (40.8–146.8) mg/dl and 257.5 (128.2–463.7) in IDA and healthy volunteers respectively. MoCA score (r= 0.803, p<0,01), were significantly correlated with Zinc level in iron deficient group. We found that there was a statistically important linear relationship between MoCA score and zinc level in female patients with iron deficiency anemia.

Authors: SANCAKTAR Özlem , ÖZ Abdullah Alper , SANCAKTAR Mehmet Eser
Published: April 2021

Some authors emphasized that maxillary expansion had a positive effect on impaired hearing due to otitis media with effusion (OME). The goal of this study was to compare the improvement of hearing loss degrees of patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and patients watched for spontaneous resolution. This study was conducted with audiometric and tympanometric records of 22 patients with OME. Group 1 consisted of patients who had OME and needed RME (n=12), and group 2 consisted of patients who had OME and were observed for spontaneous resolution (n=10). In-group 1, records were taken before expansion (T0), just after RME (T1), after the retention period (T2), and 6 months after expansion (T3). In-group 2, T0 and T2 records were taken. In-group 1, hearing levels improved and air-bone gaps (ABG) decreased significantly after RME (p<0.05). This improvement showed a relapse with T2 and T3 records. In-group 2, no significant change was observed in hearing levels but ABG levels decreased significantly (p<0.05). The extent of healing level was not significantly different between the maxillary expansion and control groups when T2-T0 records were compared. The results of this study indicated that RME improved hearing levels and decreased ABG after expansion in children with OME; however, a relapse occurred after the retention. ABG levels in both groups exhibited similar decreases after retention. RME, although it is not a major treatment for OME, it can be said that it has positive effects for OME when applied within orthodontic indication.

To evaluate whether mirtazapine and mesna have protective effects on cisplatin-induced ovarian injury. A total of 32 female Wistar Albino rats were divided into 4 groups (8 rats per group) and included in the study. No medication was administered to the first group; only intervention was that their ovaries were removed and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) values were measured. The second group received intramuscular cisplatin at a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg. The third group received a single dose of 200 mg/kg mesna intraperitoneally, and 30 minutes later, a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg intramuscular cisplatin was administered. The fourth group received oral 30 mg/kg mirtazapine, and 60 minutes later, a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg intramuscular cisplatin was administered. Oral 30 mg/kg mirtazapine was continued for ten days. Ovaries and AMH values of all groups were evaluated at the end of tenth day. In the cisplatin group when compared to normal ovarian tissue total histopathological damage score increased (p=0.037), preantral follicle count decreased (p=0.003) and AMH levels decreased (p<0.001). In the cisplatin + mesna group total ovarian damage score was also increased (p=0.005), preantral and antral follicles decreased (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively), and AMH levels decreased (p<0.001). In the cisplatin + mirtazapine group, total ovarian damage score (p<0.001), preantral follicle count (p=0.002) and AMH values were decreased (p<0.001). It was concluded that mesna and mirtazapine were not effective in preventing ovarian damage due to cisplatin.
The role of monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in prediction of increased systemic inflammation and the risk of cardiovascular disease in endometriosis
Authors: BIYIK İsmail , KESKİN Fatih , SAZ Nagihan
Published: April 2021

Endometriosis occurs in about 5-10 in 100 women of reproductive age. The pathophysiology of endometriosis is controversial. Some studies claimed an association between endometriosis and increased levels of inflammatory factors in peritoneal fluid and/or peripheral blood. Monocyte / HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are inflammatory markers and are used as predictors and prognostic indicators of mortality and morbidity in many diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Monocyte / HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are increased in endometriosis as in patients with chronic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. This is a retrospective case-control study conducted with 87 women, 45 in the endometriosis group and 42 in the control group. The demographic data, biochemical, complete blood count parameters and lipid profile of the cases were recorded and compared between the groups. The mean age of the endometriosis group was 33.88 years and was older than the control group. In terms of other demographic data, there were no difference between the two groups. Although the platelet distribution width and triglyceride values of the endometriosis group were higher than controls, they were interpreted as clinically insignificant. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of other laboratory parameters including MHR and NLR. In this study, MHR and NLR are found similar in endometriosis and control groups. Further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between increased systemic inflammation.
Literaturas indígenas no ensino-aprendizagem de história e cultura indígena
Authors: Nogueira Camila
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo reflete o uso de textualidades de matrizes ameríndias no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de história e cultura indígenas, tendo em vista que as representações de povos indígenas do território brasileiro estão presentes em diferentes memórias, nas dos próprios indígenas e na dos não indígenas. Como exemplo é possível sublinhar a de missionários europeus; a literatura (romances, poemas); registros de viajantes do século XIX, cinema nacional, livros didáticos de história, documentos oficiais do Estado brasileiro, entre outros textos que representam um conjunto de interpretações que a partir dos seus enredos e lógicas discursivas influenciam os leitores no processo de “compreensão”, por conseguinte, no reconhecimento das diversidades, complexidades e participações históricas das sociedades indígenas. Em razão disso, será utilizado e ressaltado o uso de produções de intelectuais e escritores contemporâneos indígenas como ferramenta para transversalização de olhares e narrativas com distintos vínculos de expressões. Considerando-se, ainda, que as textualidades de matrizes ameríndias podem simbolizar aporte na troca de saberes entre diferentes grupos étnicos sociais, descentralizando, assim, interpretações que excluíram historicamente diferentes sujeitos e grupos sociais.

Isto é bem semelhante ao modo próprio como as crianças aprendem na nossa comunidade.  Nesses cinco anos de estudos, fiz também a pesquisa e a documentação do projeto extraescolar para conclusão do curso. O projeto extraescolar é feito na minha língua e é parte dos nossos saberes.

É essencial que a sociedade contemporânea, permeada por situações que exigem o domínio da língua escrita, promova desenvolvimento humano e participação social de todos sujeitos que nela vivem, sejam eles, crianças, jovens ou adultos. O presente artigo, parte de estudo de mestrado realizado no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás – Regional Catalão, teve como objetivo discutir as principais fundamentações teóricas sobre a leitura de 170 pesquisas realizadas entre 2010 e 2015, na área de Educação, a partir da pesquisa qualitativa, baseada no estado da arte. Os resultados apontam para a concentração de pesquisas sobre leitura realizadas em instituições na região sudeste do país. Outro resultado, mostrou os principais autores que tem sido fundamento para as investigações de mestrado, assim como as principais perspectivas, sendo elas:  sociointeracionista com abordagem histórico-cultural; da linguagem como prática social do letramento com autores representantes; e da teoria enunciativa da linguagem, que compreende a linguagem como processo de construção social e interação dialógica.

Published: April 2021

Este estudo teve como intuito compreender as concepções de prática pedagógica das profissionais que atuam em um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil - CEMEI, num município do sudeste goiano. Consideramos os objetivos específicos: identificar as concepções de ensino das profissionais da Educação Infantil-creche quanto às atividades diárias e artefatos culturais na prática pedagógica; analisar as práticas pedagógicas das profissionais da creche quanto às atividades diárias; compreender as atividades diárias que permeiam as práticas pedagógicas das profissionais da creche. Tomamos como referencial teórico a abordagem Histórico-Cultural e a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica. A investigação se deu em todas as turmas de Maternal I e II. Como instrumentos de produção de dados, trilhamos, primeiramente, os percursos do estudo bibliográfico, seguido das observações de práticas pedagógicas. Os dados observados foram transcritos e analisados de acordo com a abordagem teórica adotada. As práticas pedagógicas da instituição e das Profissionais de Ensino no CEMEI apresentaram contradições, pois em algumas verificamos aspectos da prática crítico emancipatória, em outras, aspectos da prática baseado racionalidade técnica científica da educação na creche. A partir das análises percebermos que as políticas públicas educacionais para a Educação Infantil que atravessam o CEMEI, e que sofrem influências das Pedagogias de cunho liberal, exercem influência maciça no desenvolvimento das práticas pedagógicas das profissionais da creche. Também concluímos que fatores da construção histórico-social da própria instituição e dos sujeitos que a compõe, constituem um desafio, o transpor dessas influências na busca por uma prática que contribua para uma Educação Infantil gratuita, laica e de qualidade.
Bee stimulation to form protein food reserves

We have investigated different ways of bees’ stimulation to lay protein food while using artificial honeycombs. It has been proved that the use of artificial combs to get bee-bread upon the condition of the post-treatment processing of its elements by wax and honey syrup does not stimulate bees to lay and process protein food in their cells. It has been identified that upon the condition of the direct involvement of the working bees into the formation of bee-bread supplies the protein food has been mostly consumed. This proves that the working bees use the freshly-gathered pollen pellet for their own needs in the period of its active gathering. It has been determined that the most effective way of bee stimulation to reprocess pollen pellet into bee-bread is it's single densifying in artificial honeycombs with the follow-up processing of the upper layer of the feed by honey. This way encourages bees to form stocks of bee bread and decreases their activity of consuming protein food from cells of artificial honeycombs. The processing of thickened pollen pellet by honey probably oppresses the bees’ need to consume protein food from the packed cells redirecting them to other honeycombs of the bee family’s nest which has areas with bee-bread reserves.

Cheese production is associated with the analysis of its nutritional composition as well as with the sensory evaluation of the acceptance of the products. The paper is aimed at the determination of basic chemical parameters such as the content of proteins, fat, dry matter, salt and, pH and also on the evaluation of sensory properties of hard cheeses by the sensory panel. The GC-MS analysis of cheeses, cheese spreads, and traditional butter was performed to evaluate the aroma profile of the dairy products analyzed. The dry matter in the analyzed cheeses varied between 56.75 and 71.83%, the fat content varied from 18.73 to 30.83%, and the salt from 1.21 to 2.61%. The presence of proteins was found between 27.76 and 32.61% and the pH of the cheeses ranged from 5.21 to 6.01. The results of the sensory analysis were processed using a PCA map. The results showed that sample no. 5 was rated within all attributes as the best. Sample 3, 2, and 1 followed. Sample 4 received the lowest score. The volatile aromatic compounds that contribute to a taste perception were analyzed by GC-MS in dairy products. The aroma profile was built by the volatile compounds that belonged to chemical families of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, amides, amines, imines, and terpenes. In particular, cheeses contained mostly alcohols (3-methyl-1-butanol), aldehydes (3-methylbutanal and benzaldehyde), and ketones (acetoin, 2,3,3-trimethylcyclobutanone, 2-heptanone, 2,3-butanedione, acetone, 2-butanone, 2-nonanone, 2- pentanone).  The spreads most often contained alcohols (represented by 2-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and cyclopropane-1,2,3-d3-methanol), aldehydes (2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, benzaldehyde) and ketones (acetoin, 2-heptanone, 2-pentanone, 2-butanone and 2,3-butanedione).
Toward Mitigating, Minimizing, and Preventing Cybercrimes and Cybersecurity Risks
Authors: Lee Claire Seungeun
Published: April 2021

Cybercrime and cybersecurity are emerging fields of research, shaped by technological developments. Scholars in these interconnected fields have studied different types of cybercrimes as well as victimization and offending. Increasingly, some of these scholars have focused on the ways in which cybercrimes can be mitigated, minimized, and even prevented. However, such strategies are often difficult to achieve in reality due to the human and technical factors surrounding cybercrimes. In this issue of the International Journal of Cybersecurity Intelligence and Cybercrime, three papers adequately address such challenges using college student samples and nationally representative samples, as well as a framework through which cybersecurity can be better managed. Theoretically speaking, these studies use traditional criminological theories to explore different types of cybercrimes and cybersecurity while enhancing our understandings of both. The issue is concluded with a book review of a work about computer crime that was published before the Internet age and offers useful insights for current and future cybercrime studies.

This paper discusses and proposes the inclusion of a cyber or security risk assessment section during the course of public health initiatives involving the use of information and communication computer technology. Over the last decade, many public health research efforts have included information technologies such as Mobile Health (mHealth), Electronic Health (eHealth), Telehealth, and Digital Health to assist with unmet global development health needs. This paper provides a background on the lack of documentation on cybersecurity risks or vulnerability assessments in global public health areas. This study suggests existing frameworks and policies be adopted for public health. We also propose to incorporate a simple assessment toolbox and a research paper section intended to help minimize cybersecurity and information security risks for public, non-profit, and healthcare organizations.
