According to the World Health Organization (WHO), particulate matter (PM) contamination causesaround 800,000 premature deaths per year, ranking 13th in the world in terms of mortality.However, several findings revealed that the correlation is much stronger and more complicated thanpreviously believed. PM is an element of emissions comprised of very small, acidic, organiccompounds, metals, and particulate soil or dust particles or fluid droplets. The most consistent airquality component linked to human illness is PM, which is categorized by size. PM is likely to developcardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders due to the mechanisms of inflammation, overt andindirect coagulation activation, and direct translocation to the systemic circulation. The evidence onthe cardiovascular system that shows a PM effect is strong. Coronary incidence and mortality ratesin populations prone to long-term PM toxicity were significantly higher. Short-term acute emissionsincrease coronary incidence rates subtly within days of the pollution peak.

TEXT-FORMING FUNCTIONS OF IMPERATIVES IN LEONTII KARPOVYCH’S SERMONS
Authors: Asieieva Т. О.
Published: May 2021

In this article we study the texts of Leontii Karpovych in the context of a new type of sermon — the baroque sermon of the 17th century. The seventeenth century is notable for the fact that the aesthetics of the Baroque brought Ukrainian religious literature to a qualitatively new level, enriched it with many original compositions. In this context, we emphasize the figure of Leontii Karpovych, as in his work the features of a new type of sermon are beginning to be clearly pronounced, although the first texts date back to 1617. In order to form the views of believers and to enshrine in their minds religious teachings, to convey to them the word of God, the preacher must be able to use language resources skillfully that will help to achieve the goal. We analyze the functions of imperative forms of verbs in Leontii Karpovych’s baroque sermons. The sermon is studied as a communicative act between the preacher and the recipient. In the article we study the peculiarities of the functioning of grammatical categories of person and number in the text of Leontiі Karpovych’s sermon. We put emphasis on the use of imperative forms in accordance with the structural canon of the baroque sermon of the 17th centurу (the structure of the sermon consists of exordium, narration, and conclusion). Also, we investigate the functioning of performative verbs (mental and social) because the sermon, as a genre of religious literature, is based on the act of communication of the preacher with the audience. We analyze the consequences of using certain forms of imperatives (rapprochement with the audience, separation from the audience, the formation of a call to action, the actualization of the role of the preacher as a mentor), and the productivity of these forms.

(BASED ON TWITTER AND ONLINE PUBLICATIONS)
Authors: Davydovska N. V.
Published: May 2021

This research is dedicated to the study of Elon Musk’s personal brand. Communicative and linguistic devices used by Elon Musk to build, maintain and boost his personal brand, as well as to counter threats to its status, were analyzed on the basis of Twitter and online publications within the framework of the present research. The study traced the conflict between Elon Musk and short sellers with the participation of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and proved that regardless of the financial losses and legal challenges the businessman faced, the reaction of Elon Musk’s followers was mostly positive due to the effective brand-building techniques employed by Elon Musk. The conducted Twitter analysis dealt with both Elon Musk’s personal publications and the responses of his followers, and found that the main linguistic and communicative devices of Elon Musk’s personal branding were provocative tweets, popular culture references, connotatively charged notions, irony, allusions, acronyms and wordplay. As part of the present research, we studied how the linguistic phenomenon shaped reality, as Elon Musk took a literary technique and used it as a real-life enhancement of his personal brand. According to the results of the research, these devices were aimed at reinstating the credibility and authority of Elon Musk’s personal brand, attracting the attention of the followers, winning their support and counterattacking the opponents in order to re-establish a powerful personal brand. The research proves that these devices found positive response among Elon’s followers and had a positive effect on his brand attracting attention and boosting popularity and recognizability of Elon Musk’s personal brand.

Authors: Et. al. Damanpreet Kaur,
Published: May 2021

Security in financial transactions is a necessity. This security is provided using various encryption mechanisms such as RSA, DES, AES, and hybrid encryption mechanisms. The problem, however, arises when financial transactions take place in the banking sector. This paper proposes a unique DNA-based block chaining to avoid any collision and to provide a high-end security during financial transactions. The block chaining mechanism provides a two-way security during financial transactions along with avoading data theft, as well as data loss, is avoided. The implementation results of the proposed system are presented in terms of throughput, encryption time, and decryption time. The results obtained for the encryption and throughput, are optimized using this approach, however, encryption time still requires certain modifications. The overall results are better than Changsong et al., 2020.

The main features are: special subjective structure of participants; coordination and coherence of all participants in common illegal intentions; achieving of common goals for criminal subjects. Herewith, the organizing role considering as the particular attribute of cartel collusions.
Criminalistics is not the science of prosecution or defense, but aimed at judicial resolution of criminal cases
Authors: Khalikov A. N.
Published: May 2021

The article considers the purpose of criminalistics as an objective science. The author briefly analyzes the definitions of the subject of criminology proposed by scientists in different years. At the same time, the General trend becomes obvious — the monopolization of criminology by law enforcement agencies. With reference to the position of the Patriarch of Russian criminalistics R. S. Belkin, the author expresses his opinion that criminalistics cannot and should not serve only state law enforcement agencies. The results of forensic research can be successfully used in criminal cases by the defense party-lawyers and other representatives of suspects and accused. The article provides examples when abuses by the preliminary investigation bodies with reference to the use of criminalistics provisions led to judicial errors and bringing innocent persons to criminal responsibility. Only in court, when using the evidence presented by the parties to the defense and prosecution, obtained, including through the use of recommendations of forensic science, a criminal case can be fairly resolved.
About the language of scientific research
Authors: Frolova O. E.
Published: May 2021

The article examines the relationship between the words foundation, purpose, truthfulness, reliability, truth, falsehood, which make up the logical-verbal framework of scientific research. In order to avoid misunderstandings between the author and the addressee, they must obey the convention that the words of the literary language and the highly specialized and logical terms have the same meanings. The author and addressee must also agree on how the chain of reasoning is constructed and understood. The word foundation is the basis, the support of reasoning, the word goal is the image of the result. The adjective reliable can only refer to verified information, proven fact. The words truthful and reliable are not synonyms and cannot be used interchangeably without prejudice to the meaning of the statement. The concept of truth is interpreted as the correspondence of the statement to extralinguistic reality. The article shows the difference between the meanings of the words truth and falsehood in everyday and scientific discourses, these words in everyday language are antonyms, and in the language of logic they include an intermediate link when the truth is not proven.

Authors: ALATAŞ Hacer , YILDIRAN Hilal , YALÇIN Ahmet
Published: May 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı hemodiyaliz hastalarının besin tüketimlerini inceleyerek, beslenme durumlarının malnütriyon inflamasyon skoru ile ilişkisini değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 18-65 yaş arası toplam 49 (25 erkek, 24 kadın) hemodiyaliz hastasıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmacı tarafından hastaların vücut kompozisyonları biyoempedans cihazı ile ölçülmüş, malnutrisyon inflamasyon skoru (MİS) anketi uygulanmış, üç günlük besin tüketimleri alınmıştır.

Bulgular: Yaş ortalamaları 47,6±11,39 yıl olan hastaların ortalama MİS skorları 11,3±4,10 olup %85.7’si malnutrisyonludur. Hastaların; 23.1±10.53 kcal/kg/gün enerji, 0,83±0,39 g/kg/gün protein aldıkları saptanmıştır. Erkek hastaların %80’i, kadın hastaların %83,7’si Uluslararası Böbrek Vakfı’na (NKF) göre yetersiz enerji almaktadır. Erkek hastaların %84’ü, kadın hastaların tamamı NKF’ye göre yetersiz protein almaktadır. Hastaların günlük almış oldukları tiamin, riboflavin, niasin, B6 vitamini, folik asit, C vitamini, çinko, demir, kalsiyum miktarı NKF önerilerinin altındadır. Hastaların BKİ ve vücut kompozisyonları arasında ise negatif yönlü anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmuştur.

Sonuç: Hastaların günlük enerji, protein ve bazı besin ögesi alımları hemodiyaliz hastaları için önerilen değerlerden oldukça düşük olması ile dikkat çekicidir. Yüksek MİS skoru yetersiz enerji ve besin ögesi alımıyla gelişen malnutrisyonla ilişkili olabilir.

Published: May 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı sıçanlarda letrozolle oluşturulmuş PKOS (polikistik over sendromu) üzerinde fisetinin antioksidan etkilerini değerlendirmektir.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 36 adet Albino Wistar dişi sıçan kullanıldı. Dişi sıçanlara, PKOS modelini indüklemek için 21 gün boyunca %1 karboksimetil selüloz (2 mL/kg) içinde çözülmüş 1 mg/kg dozunda letrozol oral yolla uygulanmıştır. PKOS oluşturulduktan sonra 7 gün boyunca metformin ve fisetin kendi gruplarına uygulandı. Hayvanların overleri alındı ve biyokimyasal, histolojik incelemeler için uygun koşullarda saklandı.

Bulgular: PKOS grubunda sağlıklı gruba göre glutatyon (GSH) seviyelerinde düşüş, malondialdehit (MDA) seviyelerinde artış görüldü. PKOS+MET+FIS25 (PKOS+20 mg/kg metformin+25 mg/kg fisetin) ve PKOS+MET+FIS50 (PKOS+20 mg/kg metformin+50 mg/kg fisetin) gruplarında doza bağlı olarak GSH seviyelerinin yükseldiği, MDA seviyelerinin düştüğü tespit edildi. Histolojik bulgularda PKOS grubunda kontrol grubuna göre çok sayıda kistik folikül içerdiği görüldü. PKOS+MET+FIS25 ve PKOS+MET+FIS50 gruplarında doza bağlı olarak kistik foliküllerin ve foliküllerin içerdiği apoptotik ve nekrotik hücrelerin azaldığı görüldü.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, fisetin metforminin ortadan kaldıramadığı oksidatif hasarı engelleyerek faydalı etkiler göstermiştir. Fisetin antioksidan aktivite göstererek yeni hücrelerin nekroza gitmesini engellemiş ve korumuştur. Bundan dolayı metformin tedavisine fisetin eklenmesi faydalı olacaktır.

Authors: ÇAKIR Esra , ÖZKOÇAK TURAN Işıl
Published: May 2021

Purpose: The aim of our study is to investigate the prognostic value of Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in determining mortality in patients hospitalized for intensive care unit (ICU) sepsis.

Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively evaluates all patients hospitalized with sepsis in our ICU between February 2017 and April 2018. In addition to the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, complete blood count parameters were also recorded. Demographic and clinical characteristics, mainly NLR, MLR and PLR results, and other laboratory results of patients with sepsis were compared between the ones with and without mortality.

Results: Four hundred and eleven patients were included in the study. 55.7% (229/411) of patients with sepsis died and 44.3% (182/411) were discharged alive. NLR, MLR and PLR were higher in the group with mortality compared to the survivor group. The cut-off value for predicting mortality in patients with sepsis was 9.2 for NLR, ≥0.8 for MLR, and ≥187.3 for PLR. The area under the curve (AUC) value for NLR was 0.825, the AUC value for MLR 0.835 and the AUC value for PLR was 0.720.

Conclusion: High NLR, MLR and PLR values are associated with mortality in sepsis patients hospitalized in ICU, and the most significant parameter for mortality indicator among the three rates was found to be MLR with the highest AUC value.

Authors: SARIKAYA Suna , YAŞİN Sedat , ÇALIK Mustafa , YOLDAŞ Tahir
Published: May 2021

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between acute-phase reactants and oxidative stress and epilepsy.

Methods: The patient group consisted of 67 patients who applied to the Pediatric Neurology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with generalized type epilepsy according to ILAE classification, 33 were receiving monotherapy and 34 were receiving antiepileptic medication in the form of polytherapy. The control group included 30 healthy volunteer participants with similar sociodemographic characteristics in the same age range, without epilepsy or any known chronic disease. Total anti-Oxidant Status (TAS) and total Oxidant Status (TOS) were measured according to the method developed by Erel, and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. Sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels were measured.

Results: Both TOS and OSI levels of the patients who received antiepileptic monotherapy and polytherapy were statistically significantly higher than the control group (p = 0.004, the TOS levels of the patients who received antiepileptic monotherapy and polytherapy were 19.29 ± 1.27, 19.22 ± 1.26, respectively, control group 14.49 ± 1.75, OSI levels of patients receiving antiepileptic monotherapy and polytherapy 1.66 ± 0.12, 1.72 ± 0.11, control group 1.27 ± 0.11), respectively. The Hs-CRP level (0.59 ± 0.06 mg / L, 1.09 ± 0.06 mg / L, respectively) of the patients who received monotherapy and polytherapy was statistically significant compared to the control group (0.42 ± 0.02 mg / L) significantly higher.

Conclusion: In this study, the findings suggest that epileptic seizures increase oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant mechanisms are insufficient to reduce oxidative damage. In addition, considering the high serum Hs-CRP levels, it is extremely important to develop treatment strategies that can control the inflammatory process in treating resistant epilepsy.

Published: May 2021

Yüksek konsantrasyonlarda klor (Cl-) içeren sulama suları biberde (Capsicum spp.) bazı toksik etkilere neden olabilmektedir Bu çalışmada, salçalık biber (C. annuum L. cv. Postal Capija) bitkilerine farklı Cl- içeren besin solüsyonları uygulanmış ve biberin büyüme parametreleri, meyve verim ve kalite özellikleri, yaprak su potansiyeli ve klor içerikleri araştırılmıştır. Sera şartlarında yapılan araştırma tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine uygun ve dört tekerrürlü olarak planlanmış, bitkilere yedi farklı Cl- [kontrol (0.27), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 7.5 and 15.0 mM] uygulaması yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, Cl- konsantrasyonunun 3.0 mM’e kadar yükselmesinden; büyüme parametreleri (bitki boyu, bitki yaş ve kuru ağırlığı) meyve verimi ve meyve karakteristiklerinin (meyve ağırlığı, meyve çap ve boyu) etkilenmediğini, ancak bu seviyenin üzerinde artan Cl- konsantrasyonlarının söz konusu değerleri olumsuz etkilediğini göstermiştir. En yüksek meyve kuru madde ve suda çözünür kuru madde içerikleri 3.0 and 4.5 mM Cl- uygulamalarında tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşın, Cl- konsantrasyonlarındaki artış meyve asit içeriklerini de arttırmış ve en yüksek asit miktarı yüksek Cl- uygulamasında bulunmuştur. Yetiştirme ortamında artan Cl-, yapraklarda daha fazla Cl- birikmesine neden olmuş, (>3.0 mM) yaprak su potansiyelini ise düşürmüştür. Bu araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, besin solüsyonu Cl- kapsamındaki artışların bitki büyümesinde, verim ve meyve özelliklerinde önemli azalmalara neden olabileceğini, biberlerin sulanmasında kullanılan solüsyonun Cl- kapsamlarının da dikkate alınmasının ne kadar gerekli olduğunu göstermiştir.

The Mediatization of Public Administration: A Scoping Review
Authors: Tremblay-Antoine Camille
Published: May 2021

This article presents an exploratory study of the concept of political mediatization. Using the scoping review method, we survey academic writings on this subfield of political communication. This research aims to highlight the dominant topics covered in the literature on the mediatization of politics, identify gaps in research, and provide a better understanding of how studies on mediatization align within the broader literature on political communication. With this systematic approach, we aim to better conceptualize the mediatization of public administration by identifying consensus on the concept in the existing literature. The scoping review process indicates that: (1) Studies analyzing mediatization focus on political actors and institutions, and the junction between political mediatization and public administration is rarely studied; (2) Approaches used to study the mediatization of politics are mostly qualitative; (3) The mediatization of public administration has only been analyzed quantitatively in European contexts, and; (4) Indicators used to measure the degree of mediatization in public administration differ widely between studies.

AMAÇ: Organ bağışına yönelik faaliyetlere rağmen, konuya ilişkin duyarlılık halen istenilen düzeyde değildir. Araştırmanın amacı bir kamu üniversitesinde ebelik ve hemşirelik eğitimi alan üniversite öğrencilerinin organ bağışına ilişkin algı ve tutumunda bir takım sosyal ve demografik özelliklerin etkisini belirlemektir.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Araştırma tanımlayıcı kesitsel tiptedir. Evreni bir kamu üniversitesinde lisans düzeyinde ebelik ve hemşirelik eğitimi alan öğrenciler oluşturmuştur. Örneklem seçimine gidilmemiştir, katılım oranı %77.61 olmuştur. Araştırma öncesinde Bilimsel Araştırma Yayın Etiği izni ve kurumsal izinler alınmış, veriler öğrencilerin derslerinin bitimindeki son 15 dakikalık sürede yüz yüze görüşme yöntemine göre toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın bağımsız değişkenlerini katılımcıların bazı sosyo-demografik ve sağlık özellikleri, bağımlı değişkenini ise literatüre uygun olarak araştırıcılar tarafından oluşturulan organ bağışına yaklaşımı ve farkındalığı ölçmeye yönelik olan sorular oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri istatistik programı ile çözümlenmiş, p<0.05 anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edilmiştir.BULGULAR: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20.78±1.96’dır. Katılımcılardan yalnızca 6 kişi (%1) organlarını bağışladığını belirtmiştir. Araştırmada yaş aralığı, cinsiyet, medeni durumun, anne eğitim düzeyi, aile tipi, alkol-ilaç-keyif verici madde alışkanlıklarından her biri, herhangi bir kronik hastalığa sahip olma, organ bağışı için bekleyen bir yakınının olması değişkenlerinin organ bağışçısı olmayı düşünme açısından farklılık oluşturmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ancak; sigara alışkanlığı olmayanlarda, sağlıklı iken organ bağışını yapmayı düşünmede kararsız olanlarda, Türkiye’deki organ bağışını yetersiz görenlerde organ bağışçısı olmayı düşünme oranlarının daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun da istatistiksel açıdan fark oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir.SONUÇ: Araştırmada, organ bağışçılığı farkındalığı ve yaklaşımı açısından sosyo-demografik özelliklerin etkili olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

Hekimlerin bilgilendirme yaparken karşılaştıkları en büyük zorluğun, hastanın sosyo-kültürel düzeyi (%54,3) olduğu belirlendi. Hekimin antibiyotik reçete etmesinde etkili en önemli faktörler sırasıyla; kronik hastalığın olup olmaması, yaş, sosyal güvence, ekonomik durum, talep ve beklentiler, kilo ve eğitim durumu olarak belirlendi.SONUÇ: Akılcı antibiyotik ve ilaç kullanım politikaları kapsamında, mezuniyet sonrası eğitime önem verilmesi, eğitimin sürekli ve gerçek hayata uygun olması, hekimlerin hastalarına daha fazla zaman ayırabilmeleri için hekim başına düşen hasta sayısının azaltılması ve hekimlerin hastalarını bilgilendirmesinin, akılcı antibiyotik kullanımı açısından olumlu sonuçlar elde edilmesinde büyük katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: May 2021

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of remdesivir in adult patients with COVID-19. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and medRxiv databases were searched using a search strategy tailored to each database. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) checklists were used for the studies' qualitative assessment. The outcomes studied were mortality, all adverse events, serious adverse events, and clinical improvement. The quantitative synthesis was conducted using fixed and random effects models in the CMA 2.2. Heterogeneity was tested using the I-squared (I2) measure. Results: In general, six studies, including five randomized controlled trials and one cohort study were found eligible. Comparison of the findings related to both groups receiving remdesivir (10-day remdesivir group) and placebo/control group showed that remdesivir treatment had no significant effect on mortality at day 14 of the treatment (RR=0.769; 95% CI :0.563-1.050; p=0.098), and all adverse events (RR= 1.078; 95% CI: 0.908-1.279; p= 0.392). However, remdesivir had a significant effect on clinical improvement at day 14 compared to placebo/control (OR= 1.447; 95% CI: 1.005-2.085; p= 0.047) and reduced serious adverse events (RR= 0.736; 95% CI: 0.611-0.887; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Remdesivir has positive effects on clinical improvement, and reduction of the risk of serious adverse events. However, it does not influence the mortality at day 14 of treatment.

Introduction: The children's vulnerability to unpleasant life issues depends on their existing social abilities and skills. Social skills are defined as the skills needed to adapt to social needs and social adjustment. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of family factors in aggression of preschool children in terms of social skills as a mediator.
Method: This research was descriptive (correlation). The statistical population of the study included all preschool students in Yazd in the academic year of 2018. Participants included 350 students selected based on Cochran formula and compilation sampling. Eliot's stress management scale, Marlow's and Crown's social acceptance scale, Nef's self-compassionate scale, Trascat's children social skills scale, and Vahedy et.al children aggression scale were used to measure the research variables. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 and AMOS 20 using path analysis.
Results: The path analysis method indicated a good fit of the model and showed that among the family factors, parents' stress had a positive direct effect and social acceptance had a negative direct effect on aggression.
Conclusion: Family factors, with the intervening role of social sciences has a significant effect on aggression in preschool children.

Fine and Gross Motor Competence in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Liu Ting , Capistran Jaclyn , ElGarhy Sayed
Published: May 2021

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges with social communication and the display of restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Research has also shown that children with ASD are behind their typically developing peers in motor skill competence. However, limited studies have used the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 (BOT-2) to assess motor competence of children with ASD. The purpose of this study was to fill the gap and comprehensively examine the fine and gross motor competence of children with ASD. Fifty-three children with ASD between the ages of 7 to 14 participated in the study. This study used the BOT-2 to comprehensively assess the children’s fine and gross motor competence. The children with ASD were significantly delayed in all fine and gross motor subtests (i.e., fine motor precision, fine motor integration, manual dexterity, upper-limb coordination, bilateral coordination, balance, running speed, and strength and agility) compared to their typically developing peers. The children with ASD were impaired on all fine and gross motor composites of the BOT-2, with all scoring in the well below average category of the BOT-2. Incorporating fine and gross motor skill practice into the therapy treatments and daily activities of children with ASD is recommended for improvement of their social interaction, communication, and reduction in repetitive behaviors in school and physical activity participation.
RETHINKING THE ROLE OF ANXIETY AND SELF-EFFICACY IN COLLECTIVE SPORTS ACHIEVEMENTS

Published: May 2021

The influence of anxiety and self-confidence of an athlete with an emphasis on self-efficacy has been the subject of numerous research in the sport, but their relationship is not fully understood. In our research, we try to explain that competitive anxiety influences sports achievement only through the level of General Self-Efficacy. A lower level of General Self-Efficacy leads to lower sports achievement. In order to explore the relationship between General Self-Efficacy and anxiety on sports achievement, we examined 76 active athletes in collective sports, as well as their trainers. The following instruments were applied: Competitive Sports Anxiety Inventory, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, and Questionnaire of sports achievement (ad hoc made instrument). The results show that cognitive anxiety negatively correlates with sports achievement (r = -.38, p≤ .01), as opposed to somatic anxiety that does not show a significant association with achievement. However, the highest relationship is a positive correlation between General Self-Efficacy and sports achievement  (r = .51, p≤ .01). In Regression analysis, however, a significant predictor of sports achievement is only General Self-Efficacy (β = .389; p≤ .01) while the significance of cognitive anxiety is lost (β = -178; p = .339). Additional Bootstrapping analyses were conducted to examine the potential mediating effect of General Self-Efficacy in the relationship between competitive anxiety and sports achievement. We found a significant indirect effect of cognitive anxiety on achievement only through General Self-Efficacy (b= -.30, CI /-.73, -.07/), while the direct effect is not significant once the mediator is introduced. In the reversed analyses, with competitive anxiety as a mediator, the mediation was not significant, which means that high anxiety reduces sports achievement only through undermining self-efficacy, and not directly. The obtained result suggests that self-efficacy has the primary role in sports achievement. Consequently, for improving sports achievement, psychological intervention should primarily focus on increasing self-efficacy.
Cristianos y afroreligiosos en el espacio público
Authors: Carvalho Erico Tavares de
Published: May 2021

Este artículo busca analizar la presencia de agentes religiosos en el espacio público en un proceso de conflicto dialógico en el que cristianos y afroreligiosos (pero no sólo estos) ocupan las calles, disputando espacios y significados de sus respectivas identidades. El breve análisis teórico presentado es una primera aproximación a este objeto singular, a saber, la Marcha Estadual Pela Vida e Liberdade Religiosa y la Marcha para Jesus en Porto Alegre/RS. La atención se centrará en la noción del público como un espacio de disputas o controversias, que movilizan diferentes formas de ser y hacer público, así como la movilización de discursos dirigidos a un público específico.
desempeño de la bancada religiosa sobre la controversia en torno a la presencia de cuestiones de género en el Plano Municipal de Educação (PME) en Blumenau en 2015
Authors: Bolda Bruna dos Santos , Souza Josué de
Published: May 2021

La controversia en torno al tema de género en las PMEs en Brasil se origina en la interfaz entre las esferas política y religiosa. Por esta razón, el objetivo es revelar las relaciones políticas y religiosas que rodean al PME de la ciudad de Blumenau, un espacio municipal / lugar de disputa e interacciones sociales que reflejan la articulación nacional entre evangélicos y católicos. Para ello, se utilizó la investigación documental y bibliográfica sobre activismo político religioso en Brasil y el estudio de caso del proyecto de Lei Complementar nº 1.463. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que hubo una articulación de activistas político-religiosos en el nivel federal, local y municipal a favor de la eliminación de los conceptos de género y diversidad del PME. La oportunidad para esta retirada de nociones de los documentos educativos, por parte de la bancada religiosa, es una forma de defender sus "banderas políticas", legitimando a su electorado y deslegitimando banderas alternativas. Con eso, se concluye que la "lucha" contra la supuesta "ideología de género" repite la misma movilización contra el "peligro comunista" del período constitucional de 1988 y las elecciones presidenciales de 1989.
Cosmovisiones afrodisapóricas en América Latina
Authors: Garcia Bruno
Published: May 2021

Los países latinoamericanos son herederos de prácticas ancestrales que constituyen la estructura sociocultural, la historia y la memoria de los grupos africanos y de la afrodiáspora. En esta perspectiva, este artículo es parte de un conjunto de iniciativas destinadas a exaltar la importancia de preservar los recuerdos afrodispóricos en Brasil, particularizando un territorio negro paulistano - Parque Peruche, ubicado en la parte norte del municipio de São Paulo (SP). Sus objetivos centrales son a) participar en la producción de recuerdos y acompañar narrativas de la diversidad de grupos afrodiaspóricos y b) sugerir posibles traducciones sobre la presencia y permanencia de la ascendencia negra-africana en el territorio en cuestión. Basado en la historia oral y la investigación de campo, es posible señalar la presencia de protagonistas femeninas negras que se configuran en prácticas ancestrales marcadas por cosmovisiones heredadas. Tales concepciones construyen identidades afirmadas que particularizan las experiencias negras en la metrópoli de São Paulo.

experiencia religiosa del bautismo con el Espíritu Santo
Authors: Laurentino Gabriel Alves , Machado Aline Oliveira
Published: May 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación es comprender la experiencia religiosa del bautismo con el Espíritu Santo de los cristianos evangélicos pentecostales en la Asamblea de Dios. Para este propósito, las técnicas de observación sistemática y observación de grupos focales se utilizaron para recopilar los datos, y para el tratamiento de los datos, se utilizó el análisis de contenido temático. Los resultados mostraron que el bautismo con el Espíritu Santo se caracteriza por una experiencia relacional con Dios, sin embargo, tiene las mismas características que configuran un estado alterado de conciencia (EAC), siendo su creencia caracterizada como tipo "A" y su veracidad apoyada por la Fe, constituyendo el papel social del creyente bautizado en adaptarse a sí mismo como modelo de siervo. Se concluyó que la experiencia religiosa del Bautismo con el Espíritu Santo se vive como una EAC, condicionada y significada por el sistema de creencias al que está vinculada: el pentecostalismo evangélico, y que dicha experiencia tiene un fuerte impacto en la vida del cristiano.
Introducción a las gestas pentecostales
Authors: Alves Daniel , Costa Fábio
Published: May 2021

Desde el libro Bom dia Espírito Santo, del autor evangélico principal Benny Hinn, en este artículo construimos una lectura estructural de su autobiografía, a partir de su narrativa heroica basada en los conflictos que se opusieron a su ascendencia como líder religioso. Inspirados en la metodología estructuralista de interpretación de los mitos desarrollada por Lévi-Strauss, describimos los conflictos inherentes a la narrativa y sus soluciones. Las rupturas con el mundo anticipan la profundización personal del Espíritu, mientras que las visiones espirituales anticipan los conflictos familiares en el mundo.

Stocks are one of the popular investment instruments traded in the capital market. The popularity of stock purchase has developed along with the massive financial literacy movement. However, the massiveness of this movement must be balanced with knowledge and expertise in managing stock instruments since they have a high return rate and high risk. One way to manage stocks is by developing an optimal stock portfolio based on the Markowitz model. The Markowitz model is a method that formulates the elements of return and risk in an investment, and specifically the elements of risk can be minimized through diversification and combination of various investment instruments into a portfolio. By using the Markowitz method, investors can take advantage of all available information as a basis for maximizing the portfolio. This study aimed to determine which stocks can form an optimal portfolio, especially in the era of the COVID 19 pandemic and the optimal proportion of the portfolio that is feasible to obtain from stocks listed in the LQ 45 Index. The study samples involved stocks listed in the LQ 45 Index. The data analysis technique applied in this study was portfolio optimization using the Markowitz model. The results of this study showed that the optimal portfolio consisted of BBCA with a weight of 78.09% and BRPT with a weight of 21.91% which produced an expected return of 2.35% and a standard deviation of 7.01%.
