Authors: Sayko Khristina
Published: January 2020

The paper discusses emotional intelligence as a factor of effective teaching. Emotional intelligence, in broad interpretation, is defined as the ability to differentiate between posi-tive and negative emotions, and the ability to change one’s emotional condition from a poor to a better one. Internal and external components are inherent in the emotional com-ponent, and they can provide stress protecting and adaptive functions of this integral con-cept. Also it highlights psychological characteristics of teachers working with children with developmental disorders. Psychological requirements for specialists who work with indi-viduals with special educational needs include psychological willingness of a personality for this work. This willingness can be considered as an integrated quality of a personality including a system of motivation, knowledge, skills, certain experience, personal qualities that ensure successful activity.

Komsomol and the School in Mordovia in 1953–1964
Authors: Averyanova Ekaterina A.
Published: January 2020

Introduction. The issue of youth education has always attracted general attention. In this regard, the experience of the Soviet era is curious. Under the prevailing criteria of this period, as the time of totalitarian domination and ideology, it attracts attention and is interesting for research. The subject of this study was the period of the Khrushchev thaw, when significant changes to the Stalin reform were carried out, including the work of the Komsomol at school. This article discusses the process of educating communist youth in the republican schools during the transition from universal seven-year education to the creation of conditions for the transition to universal secondary education through involvement in labor and socially active activities. Materials and Methods. For solving the set of the research tasks, archival materials, statistical data, and also scientific literature were used. The study was conducted on the principle of historicism, objectivity and systematic. The statistical method was used in data processing. Results. Based on a study of archival sources, as well as available scientific literature, the main problems were identified, and the activities of the Komsomol in schools during the Khrushchev thaw were also considered. Against the backdrop of increased participation of the Komsomol in the educational environment, the processes of self-organization and effective activity of the Komsomol organization in schools are shown. Discussion and Conclusion. The Komsomol was ideologically and organizationally formed in the conditions of revolutionary upheavals caused by the Great Russian Revolution of 1917, the Civil War and the beginning of socialist construction. In a harsh atmosphere of mobilizing forces and resources for the implementation of Soviet modernization, the youth union was formed not only as a socio-political organization, but also as a state institution with a multifaceted structure for implementing youth policy and socializing the younger generation on communist ideas. The meanings inherent in the activities of the Komsomol were historically unique: universality, unitarity, ideologization, extreme centralism and hierarchical organizational structure. Not a single youth structure in the world, according to researchers dealing with this problem, has reached such a state, position and all-consuming orientation towards the implementation of its tasks.
Specifics of the Development of the Ethno-National Space of Modern Russia as a Factor in Nation Building: A Strategic Situational Analysis
Authors: Napalkova Irina G. , Soldatova Anna S. , Kurochkina Ksenia V.
Published: January 2020

Introduction. In Russia, the problem of interaction and search for balance in the ‘center – periphery’ system is considered to be common and is an impulse to socio-economic differentiation. However, no less important is the factor in multi-ethnicity, which organizes the space of Russia into a set of interconnected individual locations associated with certain ethnic groups. Features of the ethno-national space largely determine the (in)stability of the development of the state, which increases relevance of research in this field. The objective of this piece of research is to analyze the specifics of development and the potential of the ethno-national space of modern Russia as a factor in nation building.

Materials and Methods. Strategic situational analysis (the SWOT analysis technique) was used as the main method, which makes it possible to consider the subject field, relying on factors that capture the dynamics of the current situation.

Results. The authors have identified the historical and genetic, legal, institutional, managerial, programmatic, ethno-mental and other factors that comprehensively characterize the modern ethno-national space of Russia as a complex system that translates the essence and nature of the relationship between ethnic groups within the state. The identified factors have been evaluated in terms of strengths or weaknesses, opportunities or threats. A SWOT matrix has been developed, stating the prevalence of weaknesses and threats; in accordance with this matrix, development risks that can accelerate negative ethno-national processes have been identified.

Discussion and Conclusion. On the whole, the ethno-national space of Russia has a contrasting nature: some factors simultaneously relate to both the strengths and weaknesses of the SWOT matrix. There has been a decrease in the acuteness of ethno-national problems in society as well as a reduction in the proneness to conflict and interethnic discord. The main conflicts and protests have been localized within the socio-political sphere, the electoral issues being their catalyst currently. The results of the study can be used by state executive and administrative bodies to improve the ethno-national sphere, to adjust certain areas of ethno-national policies and spatial development in the context of nation building.
Factors in Migration Attractiveness of a Provincial City: The Case Study of the City of Saransk
Authors: Fofanova Katerina V. , Sychev Andrey A.
Published: January 2020

Introduction. Population is one of the most important economic, social and cultural resources, and the tendency of decline in population is a serious obstacle to urban development. In Russia, the processes of decline in population have taken place due to its natural loss, which until recently has been offset by migration growth. However, in recent years, external immigration flows have reduced significantly. In these conditions, the task of increasing the attractiveness of a provincial city for migrants is of particular relevance. The objective of this study is identification and comprehensive analysis of the full diversity of factors in migration attractiveness of urban space, exemplified by the city of Saransk.

Materials and Methods. The study employed qualitative and quantitative research methods, the method of semi-structured interview, supplemented by the method of secondary analysis of statistical data, being the main one. 57 semi-structured interviews with migrants, including participants of the State Program for Resettlement of Compatriots and foreign students studying in the city of Saransk, conducted in 2017–2019, provided the empirical basis for this research.

Results. The performed analysis of the interviews has shown that attractiveness of a region is determined not by some single factor, but by a systemic combination of them. The following factors influencing the choice of a region for resettlement have been identified: economic, social, cultural, political and natural ones. Although in the decision-making process the economic factors are the most important ones, the presence of strong social ties, the attitude of the population and officials, the availability of education and housing, and the environmental situation also have a significant impact on the choice of the region.

Discussion and Conclusion. When developing migration policies, all groups of factors that help attract migrants to a provincial city should be taken into account. Analysis of these factors as well as comparison of the expectations of newcomers and the real problems they face, make it possible to substantively increase the migration attractiveness of a city and to take into account the opinion of migrants as full-fledged subjects of social change when planning changes in the urban space. The paper may be useful to researchers in the field of sociology of migration and employees of services and organizations involved in the development of migration policies at the regional level.
Dialogue of Labor and Motherhood in the Context of Socio-Economic and Territorial Differentiation in the Republic of Tatarstan
Authors: Ildarhanova Chulpan I. , Gnevasheva Vera A. , Validova Asiya F.
Published: January 2020

Introduction. Women’s activity in the labor market, reluctance to interrupt their careers and face the problem of lowering income from work are the factors that impede the increase in birth rates and affect the reproductive behavior of women. Under the influence of ideological attitudes and material factors, women are faced with the need to assume a huge share of family responsibilities and maintain a balance between work and family. The objective of this study is to analyze women’s satisfaction with and demand for the existing state support in the Republic of Tatarstan targeted at creating conditions for combining household work and paid jobs.

Materials and Methods. The study was based on the results of the applied sociological study ‘Labor activity in the structure of reproductive and parental strategies of a modern woman in the Republic of Tatarstan’. The method of comparative analysis of the microdata obtained was used to assess the extent to which of women with children are satisfied with their position in the context of the conflict of family and employment in the situation of the existing family and demographic policies in the opposition of ‘city – village’.

Results. The study has confirmed the hypothesis about a significant role of the system of preschool institutions in making it possible for women to achieve a balance between paid work and motherhood, while the degree of success depends on the type of settlement. New approaches to supporting families with children have been proposed. According to the authors, the main components of state policies to ensure the balance of life and work for women with children should include the practice of flexible forms of employment, making it possible to combine participation in the labor market with motherhood, as well as access to quality childcare services.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained made it possible to conclude that, regardless of the type of settlement, the financial position of households and the housing conditions, as well as the state of health, to a greater extent prevent women in the Republic of Tatarstan from having the desired number of children. The materials of the article may be useful to the authorities when developing programs to optimize the regional process of regulating employment of women.
Rett syndrome: the Brazilian contribution to the gene discovery

Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT A brief history of the syndrome discovered by Andreas Rett is reported in this paper. Although having been described in 1966, the syndrome was only recognized by the international community after a report by Hagberg et al. in 1983. Soon, its importance was evident as a relatively frequent cause of severe encephalopathy among girls. From the beginning it was difficult to explain the absence of male patients and the almost total predominance of sporadic cases (99%), with very few familial cases. For these reasons, it was particularly difficult to investigate this condition until 1997, when a particular Brazilian family greatly helped in the final discovery of the gene, and in the clarification of its genetic mechanism. Brief references are made to the importance of the MECP2 gene, 18 years later, as well as to its role in synaptogenesis and future prospects.

Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) has as its main characteristic the deterioration of cerebral functions. Its etiology is still complex and undefined despite the progress made in understanding its neurological, infectious, biochemical, genetic and cytogenetic mechanisms. Considering this, the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of chromosomal alterations in the peripheral blood lymphocytes, and to verify if there was a high frequency of these alterations in patients diagnosed with AD at the University Hospital GetúLio Vargas Outpatient Clinic Araújo Lima in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Among the nine patients in the AD group, only one patient did not have metaphases with chromosomal alterations (2n = 46,XX), while eight patients with AD showed numerical chromosomal alterations, classified as X chromosome aneupLoidy (2n = 45,X) and double aneupLoidy (2n = 44,X,-X,-10; 2n = 44,X,-X,-13 and 2n = 44,X,-X,-21). In the control group, no chromosomal changes were found in the karyotypes of these individuals. Therefore, the karyotypes of patients with AD undergo chromosomal alterations at different levels. These findings are being described for the first time in the population of Amazonas, and they highlight the importance of the inclusion of cytogenetic investigations in the routine management of patients with AD.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to characterize and associate variables of epidemiological and audiometric profile of a population of a city in the interior of the Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Methods: a descriptive analytical documentary study carried out by means of the analysis of medical records form the department of audiology in a clinic, from 2014 to 2017. Pearson’s chi-squared test and the test for equality of two proportions were used, adopting a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: there was a predominance of female and elderly patients. Between 2015 and 2017, there was hegemony of normal hearing results, and in 2014 the mixed loss predominated. In these four years, there was an increase in the number of referrals from otorhinolaryngologist, occupational and Auditory Health Care Service doctors. From 2014 to 2017, there was a significantly greater proportion of normal results in relation to the various degrees of loss, except for a mild degree, in 2015. There was a significantly higher frequency of elderly people presented with various types of loss, especially sensorineural and mixed ones, and of adults with conductive loss and auditory thresholds within standards of normality, with a difference in relation to the those in other age groups. Conclusion: most of the patients investigated had hearing loss when all hearing losses were added together. When comparing the degree of hearing loss separately with that of normally hearing individuals, normality prevailed. When normal hearing was excluded, mild, mixed, and bilateral hearing losses were most common.

Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare acoustic characteristics of stop consonants in speakers of Brazilian Portuguese with and without alterations in speech referring to voicing feature. Methods: out of 66 children assessed, 18 were selected for this study, aged from 9 to 12 years, distributed in Control Group, 8 without language alterations, and Deviation Group, 10 children with alterations in speech, regarding sonority features. Participants with hearing loss, with cognitive deficit, left-handed ones or using neurological medication, were excluded. The following tests were performed: tonal audiometry, ABFW speech test, and a PowerPoint interactive production test, which was developed by the author for this study, with the purpose of comparing the minimal pairs in words. At the end, the acoustic analysis was conducted, by using the PRAAT program. The acoustic characteristics of stops related to total and relative duration of voice onset time were compared in the two groups and analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test, with a significance level lower than 0.05. Results: significant differences were observed in the duration of the voice onset time between the two groups, such as the increase in absolute voice onset time in the Deviation Group in voiced stops, and reduction in absolute onset time in voiceless stops. The relative voice onset time presented significant differences between the two groups only in voiceless stops. Conclusion: Brazilian Portuguese speakers with alteration in their sonority feature showed an acoustic pattern different from that of other speakers, regarding the voice onset time.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to relate nutritional risk and signs and symptoms of swallowing disorders as reported by hospitalized elderly, as well as to correlate the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) total score with the total number of signs and symptoms. Methods: a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample of 28 hospitalized patients, mean age of 72.18 ± 5.92 years, 15 (53.6%) males. The nutritional risk was evaluated by the MNA total score. Signs and symptoms of alterations in swallowing were investigated by means of an interview with 11 items. The Spearman’s correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney test were applied. The confidence interval was of 95%. Results: half the sample reported at least one sign or symptom of alteration in swallowing, with choking being the most frequent (32.1%). The MNA total score median (19.75) indicated nutritional risk. Elderly who reported choking presented worse performance in the MNA (p = 0.05). There was no correlation between the MNA total score and the total number of signs and symptoms of alterations in swallowing. Conclusion: nutritional risk was higher in hospitalized elderly with complaint of choking, but no correlation was found between the total number of signs and symptoms of alterations in swallowing and the MNA total score in this population.

Conhecimentos de Estudantes de Psicologia sobre Normas de Atuação com Indivíduos LGBTs
Authors: Mizael Táhcita Medrado , Gomes Ariane Rico , Marola Paula Pizzirani
Published: January 2020

Resumo Discussões sobre gênero e sexualidade têm sido abordadas em vários contextos. Na Psicologia, autarquias como o Conselho Federal de Psicologia (CFP) elaboraram diversos documentos orientando a prática psicológica com indivíduos LGBTs. Entretanto, pesquisas têm mostrado que esses saberes têm sido omitidos nos currículos de graduação em Psicologia de várias faculdades, o que pode acarretar concepções diversas àquelas normatizadas e, muitas vezes, patologizantes sobre indivíduos LGBTs, podendo levar a condutas preconceituosas e até opostas às recomendações do CFP. Assim, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi analisar as concepções de alunos de graduação em Psicologia interessados nas temáticas de gênero e sexualidade, com relação à diversidade sexual e de gênero, assim como seus conhecimentos sobre as declarações do CFP a respeito das homossexualidades e identidades trans. Oitenta e dois alunos, de diferentes faculdades e períodos responderam um questionário com perguntas sobre a formação e dados sociodemográficos, conhecimentos acerca da diversidade sexual e de gênero, e sobre as concepções e recomendações do CFP com relação aos indivíduos LGBTs. Os resultados mostraram que, para a maioria dos participantes, suas concepções acerca das homossexualidades foram, em geral, condizentes com as concepções das autarquias responsáveis pela normatização e fiscalização do exercício profissional do psicólogo. Entretanto, quando se trata das identidades trans, há um desconhecimento e concepções diversas às normatizadas a respeito das definições correntemente utilizadas, além da patologização de tais identidades. Desse modo, mostra-se imprescindível o oferecimento de disciplinas sobre gênero e sexualidade na Psicologia.

Authors: Pyrrho Monique , Schramm Fermin Roland
Published: January 2020

Resumo Este artigo trata das interfaces entre bioética e saúde coletiva, que têm como principal denominador comum a conflituosidade que afeta a garantia da saúde como direito em meio cultural plural. Como campos interdisciplinares, tanto bioética quanto saúde coletiva são aqui entendidas como empreendimentos científicos e práticos situados em seu tempo. Representam esforço científico de compreender – para transformar – um mundo complexo e dinâmico e são reflexo desta mesma complexidade. Para demonstrar como esses campos se entrecruzam em suas formas de análise e articulações teóricas, toma-se o exemplo da nanotecnologia, abordada aqui como objeto-modelo que ilustra a maneira pelas quais as novas biotecnologias interceptam e transformam iniquidades já existentes, determinando novas representações que o ser humano tem de si, de sua saúde e de sua doença.

Resumo O avanço da medicina aprimorou o tratamento de enfermidades, modificando o padrão de morbimortalidade da população, com aumento de doenças crônicas. Esse fenômeno tornou urgente interpretar adequadamente a terminalidade da vida. Considerando essa necessidade, este estudo, de corte transversal, descritivo e analítico, analisou dados sobre a percepção de 111 estudantes do sexto ano de medicina acerca dos cuidados paliativos no fim da vida. Os dados foram coletados entre agosto e novembro de 2016, por meio de questionário e analisados por testes estatísticos com o programa Iramuteq. 37,3% dos estudantes relataram dificuldade em comunicar a morte do paciente à família; 60% sentem-se despreparados ou com dúvidas sobre como lidar com óbitos em serviço de urgência; 25% desconheciam o termo “eutanásia”, 53% “ortotanásia”, e 56% “distanásia”. Os resultados mostram que ainda há lacunas no conhecimento desses estudantes, explicitando a necessidade de que escolas médicas reforcem práticas pedagógicas sobre a morte.

Testamento vital: verificação e compartilhamento de informações em um hospital português
Authors: Ferreira Carla , Nunes Rui
Published: January 2020

Resumo Desde 2012, o testamento vital é direito legalmente protegido em Portugal. Este estudo, exploratório-descritivo, questionou médicos e enfermeiros de um hospital português sobre verificação e compartilhamento de informação relativa ao testamento vital. A maioria dos profissionais (57%) nunca verificou a existência do documento, embora considere ato importante (95%), compartilhe essa informação quando tem acesso a ela (82%) e julgue que o não compartilhamento tem implicações relevantes na prática de cuidados (86%). Os resultados mostram que verificar a existência de testamento vital não é, no hospital estudado, prática corrente. São necessários novos estudos que identifiquem as motivações subjacentes a esse comportamento e verifiquem se é comum em outras instituições de saúde, propondo medidas para promover prática profissional em consonância com o estabelecido pela lei.

Derecho a la salud versus objeción de conciencia en la Argentina
Authors: Irrazábal Gabriela , Belli Laura , Funes María Eugenia
Published: January 2020

Resumen El derecho a la objeción de conciencia garantiza que los individuos no sean obligados a llevar a cabo acciones que se oponen a sus convicciones éticas o religiosas. En este artículo analizaremos los argumentos que movilizan los actores sociales que apelan a ese derecho en la Argentina. Compararemos dos fenómenos que limitan el derecho y el acceso a la salud y cuya recurrencia ha aumentado desde comienzos de los 2000: la objeción al Programa Nacional de Salud Sexual y Procreación Responsable y al Plan Nacional de Vacunación Obligatoria. Los datos analizados provienen de tres investigaciones cualitativas, focalizadas en la comprensión de los puntos de vista de los actores sociales. Planteamos que la objeción de conciencia no puede reducirse a una cuestión de autonomía individual, sino que, por el contrario, es un fenómeno en el que interactúan individuos en su carácter de padres/madres, ciudadanos, profesionales, entre otras identidades sociales.

Published: January 2020

Abstract Despite the current availability of safe and efficient drugs for treating hypertension, a substantial number of patients are drug-resistant hypertensives. Aiming this condition, a relatively new approach named catheter-based renal denervation was developed. We have now a clinically relevant time window to review the efficacy of renal denervation for treating this form of hypertension. This short review addresses the physiological contribution of renal sympathetic nerves for blood pressure control and discusses the pros and cons of renal denervation procedure for the treatment of resistant hypertension.

Hydrogels from silk fibroin and multiarmed hydrolyzed elastin peptide
Authors: Long Xingtong , Wu Zhentao , Deng Tingting , Guo Hongbo , Guan Juan
Published: January 2020

Ideal hydrogels for tissue engineering applications should mimic the properties of native extracellular matrices and optimize the cell behavior. Silk fibroin (SF) that possesses tunable mechanical strength and low cytotoxicity and elastin protein that stimulates cell viability are complementary for hybrid hydrogels. Here, hydrolyzed elastin peptide (HEP) and reconstituted SF (RSF) are combined to generate hybrid hydrogels. Physical cross-links are β-sheet conformation induced by heat in SF, and chemical cross-links are induced between HEP and RSF by glutaraldehyde (GA). The influence of the hybrid ratio on the molecular structure and mechanical properties is studied in detail. Results show that with only 0·1% GA, the non-gelling multiarmed HEP could accelerate the physical gelation process of SF to result in a homogeneous dual-cross-linked structure. The β-sheet conformation increases linearly with the SF content. The hybrid hydrogels possess compressive moduli of 4–70 kPa and shear storage moduli of 0·005 to ∼40 kPa, demonstrating tunable mechanical properties to cover a stiffness spectrum for various soft-tissue applications. Cell culture results suggest little cytotoxicity of such dual-cross-linked hybrid hydrogels. The hybrid hydrogels can be used as bioinks or biocoatings for tissue engineering.

Published: January 2020

Chronic hypertension complicates 3-5% of pregnancies, although the most appropriate antihypertensive treatment remains under investigation. The present network meta-analysis aims to accumulate current evidence in the field in order to compare the efficacy and safety of all oral antihypertensive agents in pregnant women with pre-existing hypertension. To achieve this, Medline, Scopus, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Clinicaltrials.gov and Google Scholar will be systematically searched. All randomized controlled trials and cohort studies will be included. Case-control, cross-sectional, as well as studies examining women with pregnancy-induced hypertension will be excluded. A frequentist random-effects network meta-analytic model will be implemented. Treatments will be ranked according to their estimated P-scores. Credibility of evidence will be evaluated under the GRADE framework with the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis (CiNeMA) approach.
The Communicative Norm in Russian Informal Verbal Communication: the Specificity of Child Speech
Authors: Silvestrova Anastasiia B.
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the communicative norm and disorders in informal Russian verbal communication on the basis of children’s speech in conversations between children, children and parents, teenagers. Such parameters of communication as rules of speech behaviour for the convenience of the recipient and etiquette genres are considered based on a material of authentic children’s statements published on the Krasnoyarsk Internet forum “Krasmama” and in the modern Russian literature for children. The article also considers a mechanism of communicative errors. Communicative scenarios of compliance and violation of the rules of speech behaviour are reconstructed. Particular attention is paid to statements having the purpose to manipulate the recipient. As a result, it was found that unconscious violations of communicative norms and, in particular, the rules of speech behaviour in the interests of a listener are characteristic of children’s speech. The cause of errors may be the imitation of adult informal, reduced speech. On the other hand, following the communicative norm, namely observance of the rules of speech behaviour and the use of etiquette speech genres in child-parent communication leads to ambiguous results and may indicate a conscious intention of a child to influence or manipulate an adult. Etiquette statements coming out of a child’s mouth are markers of adult speech. In communication between children, and especially between adolescents, as shown by the analysis of texts of modern literature for children, inappropriate compliance with etiquette standards may signalize the author’s hidden goals that are still unknown to the addressee (influence, manipulation), or a communicative error
Forecasting the Migration Processes Impact on the Regional Socio-Economic Situation By Means of Cognitive Modelling
Authors: Patlasov Oleg Yu. , Luchko Oleg N. , Mukhametdinova Svetlana Kh.
Published: January 2020

The research problem consists in the need to resolve the contradiction between the increasing number of migrants in the recipient region, affecting the tension of the socio-economic situation and the lack of a scientifically grounded system for the effective management of incoming migration flows through the example of the Omsk Region. The purpose of the study is to develop a system for effective management of migration processes based on the analysis and forecasting of the development of the socio-economic situation in the region by means of cognitive modelling. The authors used the following research methods: questionnaires, expert assessment and cognitive modelling. In the course of the study, based on an analysis of the results of the questionnaire and expert assessment, the authors identified the control factors that have the most significant impact on the level of tension of the socio-economic situation from the incoming migration flows, and created a cognitive model. A series of simulation experiments was carried out on the developed model, which made it possible to predict changes in the target factor — the level of tension in the socio-economic situation, as a generalized characteristic reflecting the presence of contradictions in the interests of the local population and migrants, depending on the degree of influence on the controlling factors. The proposals on the effective management of the tension of the socio-economic situation are formulated taking into account the influence of incoming migration flows. The result of the study can be used in the analysis and forecasting of the tension of the socio-economic situation depending on the incoming migration flows in recipient countries or regions

Anti-Russian sanctions have become one of the key factors, determining the state of the Russian national economics in recent years. Financial restrictions against companies and residents, which constrict the possibility of raising foreign funding and limit cooperation with abroad investors, have become one of the sanctions’ types. Such events could not but affect the state of the Russian financial market. The aim of the work under discussion is to estimate the impact of anti-Russian sanctions on the Russian financial market from 2014 till 2018. In order to achieve the stated objective the authors developed a system of indexes that allow quantitatively showing the sanctions imposed against Russia by different foreign countries. The indexes were calculated not only for all restrictions in total, but also for sanctions imposed by different groups of countries (USA, European Union and other countries). In addition, the developed indexes make it possible to take into account the degree of particular sanctions’ impact based on the level of the object under sanctions. The stated indexes’ analysis in relation to the variation of MOEX index allowed establishing the high degree of dependence of the Russian financial market’s dynamics on the imposed sanction restrictions and justifying the proposed approach to indexes’ calculation

Objetivo: Este estudo analisa os efeitos do compartilhamento de informações no risco e desempenho da aliança estratégica de cooperativas, mediado pelo compartilhamento de conhecimento e vazamento de informações.
Método: Pesquisa de levantamento foi realizada em cooperativas agropecuárias listadas na Organização das Cooperativas Brasileiras (OCB) com gestores (gerente, supervisor, coordenador e controller) cadastrados na rede LinkedIn. O questionário foi enviado pela plataforma SurveyMonkey aos 516 gestores que aceitaram o convite e a amostra totalizou 96 respostas válidas. Para testar as hipóteses da pesquisa aplicou-se a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais.
Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que o compartilhamento de informações impacta diretamente no compartilhamento de conhecimento, mas o mesmo não se observa na interação entre compartilhamento de informações e vazamento de informações. O vazamento de informações impacta diretamente no risco da aliança estratégica, do mesmo modo que o compartilhamento do conhecimento impacta no desempenho da aliança. Entretanto, o compartilhamento do conhecimento e o vazamento de informações não cumpriram os requisitos para demonstrar mediação na relação do compartilhamento de informações com risco da aliança estratégica e desempenho da aliança.
Contribuições: Instiga-se realizar pesquisas com outras mediações que possam elucidar as dissonâncias, como (des)confiança entre os membros da aliança estratégica.
The formation of national functions of literature of medieval Iberian Romania
Authors: Danylych V. S.
Published: January 2020

The article focuses on the development of national literature in the process of historical evolution of society and its language, historical relations with other cultures which have some influence on the general literary activity in Medieval Iberian Romania. It was singled out the dominating role of epics as the main genre in the majority of occidental and oriental literatures, which confirms the importance of moral and political meaning of military honor which grew to the scale of the ideal of the epoch. It was stated the significant role of borrowed genres, plots, topics, motives from the polyphonic multinational literary repertoire in the formation of the national contents of poetical and prose works of the epoch of foundation of the national language and literature of Iberian Romania. The cultural phenomenon of the use of Galician Portuguese in poetry was highlighted. The tradition confirmed the lyrical function of Galician Portuguese in poetry and the King of Leon and Castile supported this tradition on the condition of the absence of general national language of Medieval Spain. The high prestige of Galician lyrics was transformed into the language itself which had special poetical internal feature. Bright and complicated phenomenon in Medieval culture of Spain is Arabian-Spanish (Andalusia) poetry of the VIIIXV centuries. It appeared as a result of transference of mighty oriental Arabian (Syrian) tradition onto the Iberian Peninsula. The bearers of the tradition wereMuslim Arabs who settled down in Spain after its conquest. The unique historical situation made Iberian Peninsula the arena of interaction of occidental and
oriental civilizations. The external impulses made influence on literary life of Medieval Spain, constantly developing the people’s literary imagination, although not destroying but reinforcing the unique character of the national culture.
CURRENT APPROACHES TO THE RESEARCH OF ANAPHORICAL PROCESSES IN THE FRENCH-LANGUAGE DISCOURSE
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Gurmak Yuliya
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern approaches to the study of anaphoric processes based on the material of French-language discourse. Explications of the concept of anaphora by Ukrainian and foreign linguists are interpreted. The newest methodological principles of comprehensive analysis of anaphoric units in French discourse, namely the combination of linguistic and literary methods, have been further developed. It was revealed that the study of anaphoric elements is not limited to the classical problem of repetition, it must be considered in a communicative aspect. In the framework of the cognitive-communicative process, the method of discourse analysis is described. It is proved that in the process of studying the anaphoric nomination of linguistic analysis is not enough, it is necessary to appeal to the discursive context and discursive memory. The cognitive operations that the speaker performs on anaphoric nomens in his own discourse are defined. The pragmatic and functional aspects of the anaphora phenomenon, which are the subject of the study of interactionist linguistics, are considered. The paper states that in the cognitive-pragmatic aspect the anaphoric nomination performs important functions within the framework of the connectivity of the discourse. This phenomenon is broad, which can be presented not only explicitly but also implicitly, that is, the reader himself has to guess what is said in the text, based on his own experience, knowledge and associations. Anaphora can correspond both to the communicative and cognitive requirements, because it not only captures the fragments of the knowledge and experience of the speaker, but also gives him a certain form in accordance with the communicative plan and the pragmatic intentions of the speaker. The article contributes to further systematization of anaphoric means of language, characterized by expressive and informative potential. Consideration of the features of functioning of anaphoric nomens as the structure components of the French-language discourse can contribute to the further study of the semantic-stylistic organization of discourse in general.
HİPEREMEZİS GRAVİDARUM’LU GEBELERDE TİROİD FONKSİYON TESTİ NORMAL OLANLAR VE TİROİD FONKSİYON TESTİ NORMAL OLMAYANLARIN BİRİNCİ TRİMESTER UTERİN ARTER DOPPLER ULTRASON PARAMETRELERİ AÇISINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Amaç: Hiperemezis gravidarum hastalarında
tiroid fonksiyon testlerinin vasküler etkilerine bağlı olarak birinci trimester
uterin arter doppler ultrason parametrelerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır.

Materyal-Metot: Çalışmaya Nisan 2018 ile Temmuz 2018
arası zaman diliminde hastanemize başvuran hiperemezis gravidarum tanısı alan
toplam 100 hasta tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olanlar ve tiroid fonksiyon
testleri normal olmayanlar olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Gebelerin yaş, gravida,
parite düşük, kürtaj ve düşük öyküleri, sigara alkol öyküleri, alerji öyküleri kayıt
altına alındı. Bu iki grup hastanın ilk trimester doppler
paramatreleri kayıt altına alındı. Ve karşılaştırmalar yapıldı. Değişkenler
arası karşılaştırmalar Mann Whitney U ve Pearson Ki-kare testi ile yapıldı.

Bulgular: Tüm
vakaların Sağ PI değeri ortalaması 2,07 ± 0,11 ‘dir. Tiroid fonksiyon testleri
normal olan hastaların Sağ PI değeri ortalaması 2,09 ± 0,12, tiroid fonksiyon
testleri normal olmayan hastaların Sağ PI değeri ortalaması ise 2,05 ±
0,11’dir. Sağ PI değeri ortalamasının, tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olan
hastalarda tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olmayan hastalara göre yüksek
olması istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0,05).

Tüm vakaların Sağ RI değeri
ortalaması 0,80 ± 0,02 ‘dir. Tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olan hastaların
Sağ RI değeri ortalaması 0,78 ± 0,02, tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olmayan
hastaların Sağ RI değeri ortalaması ise 0,81 ± 0,02’dir. Sağ RI değeri
ortalamasının, tiroid fonksiyon testleri normal olan hastalarda tiroid
fonksiyon testleri normal olmayan hastalara göre düşük olması istatistiksel
olarak anlamlıdır (p<0,05).

Sonuç: Hipermezis gravidarum olgularında
trioid fonksiyon testi normal olanların troid fonksiyon testi normal
olmayanlara göre uterin arter doppler parametrelerinden sağ PI değeri daha
yüksek, Sağ RI değeri daha düşük izlenmiştir. Hiperemezis gravidarum
olgularında tiroid fonksiyon testlerinin bozulması uterin arter dopler
parametrelerini olumsuz etkilemez.
