Contemporary processes of administration are of a complex character. It requires from policymakers who form the economic policy the choice of adequate and diverse methods and interaction techniques. One needs to be aware of the fact that creating suitable conditions for socio-economic development should take place on different levels of a country’s organisation. Stimulation of development is inscribed into the core and nature of local government actions and supporting social entrepreneurship constitutes one of the biggest challenges on the level of municipalities and counties. The aim of the study is to point to the meaning of social entrepreneurship in creating the foundations of social security. Social entrepreneurship is inseparably connected to one of the contemporary trends in the economy, namely the social economy. In Poland, the social economy has been gaining in popularity in recent years, following a number of negative social effects observed after the rough period of economic transformation and its ownership and structural transitions. In the study, the essence of social entrepreneurship has been characterised as an important action aimed at improving the feeling of social security. The reference has been made to Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, in which the meaning of social entrepreneurship has been pointed and attributed by policymakers responsible for the development policy. The stimulation of social economy subjects may be an important supplement of regional policy aimed at attracting external investments (with shortages of capital connected to the regional policy). This results from the fact that launching business in the social economy sector does not require significant capital outlay, and may constitute a chance for involving young people who want to test themselves in a role of budding entrepreneurs. Promotion of social entrepreneurship might as well contribute to the reinforcement of social cohesion as well as building regional social capital by including into the labour market some groups that are “forgotten” and feel it difficult to find themselves on the open labour market. The article is of an overview character.

Authors: Srilatha P. , Vani Ch. Srilatha
Published: October 2021

In Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, majority of the farmers were cultivating rice in a traditional method i.e., transplanting of rice under tanks and canals as source of irrigation. Due to late receipt of the water in the canal tail end regions, sowing of the second crop is becoming late which leads to yield loss. In future, water and labour availability may worsen which may lead to increased competition for these aspects. Therefore, Krishi VIgyan Kendra, Ghantasala endeavored to create awareness on direct sown paddy with seed drill and has been promoting this method since 5-6 years. Andhra Pradesh State was selected purposively for this study and the survey was conducted in Krishna district. 120 rice growers were considered for the present study. The data was collected from the farmers through personal interview with the help of pre-tested scheules and questionnaire. The results showed that 51.66 per cent of the respondents belonged to high adoption category, followed by 29.16 per cent belonged to medium adoption and 19.16 per cent of the respondent belonged to low adoption categories which means partial adoption of direct sown paddy with seed drill respectively. As per recommendations of the Scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghantasala, more than half of the respondents had high level of adoption. It can be concluded that direct sown paddy is getting more popular in Krishna district and farmers are more motivated towards adoption of the technology. More than half of the farmers are adopting the recommended package of practices. So, farmers should be motivated to adopt 100 per cent technology which created a positive impact on farming community.

Authors: Nair Gulja S. , Peter Neenu
Published: October 2021

Water scarcity is an alarming problem that we face now-a-days. Even though we have abundant sources of water, good quality water is not available when most needed. There comes the relevance of water conservation structures. Allocation of water in case of multipurpose projects among various competing needs such as drinking water, irrigation, industrial demands, downstream release, pisciculture etc. is a matter of great concern. Hence reservoirs must be subjected to thorough analysis to see that each drop of water impounded is utilized in the best possible manner. So a study was undertaken for the proposed Regulator-Cum-Bridge (RCB) on Bharathapuzha River at Chamravattom in Malappuram district of Kerala, with the specific objective of determining the optimum storage height of the regulator. The storage height was optimized by considering the inflow and demands on the reservoir for 18 years data. The height was decided as six meters as it gave least deficit when compared to four and five meters.

The self propelled vertical conveyor reaper is commonly used for harvesting wheat, rice etc. It has become a main or the sole of mechanical power source on small and medium size farms in India. The operators of VCR are exposed to a high level of vibration arising from single cylinder engine during field operations. The vibration from the VCR is transmitted from handle to hands, arms and shoulders. In the present study, experiments were conducted to reduce the vibration extent in VCR for two operational conditions i.e. transportation on bitumen road and wheat harvesting operation by using isolators in between engine and chassis. The vibrations were measured at engine speed 2200 and 2800 rpm. In this study it was found that the vibration magnitudes decreased with increase in engine speed from 2200 to 2800 rpm in both operational conditions. The highest vibration values were observed in x-direction. The maximum frequency-weighted vibration acceleration (rms) in x-direction was 18.76 and 22.8 ms-2 in transportation and wheat harvesting, respectively. After incorporation of isolators the vibration total values reduced at 2200 rpm form 22.8 ms-2 to 9.63 ms-2 and 28.11 ms-2 to 12.57 ms-2 in transportation and wheat harvesting, respectively (Fig. 1 and 2).

A series of 5-(3-substituted-thiophene)-pyrimidine derivatives (3a-d) were synthesized via Knoevenagel condensation reaction in aq. ethanol using H2O2:HCl as a catalyst. Their pharmacological effects were evaluated. Analytical and spectroscopic methods confirmed the structures of the target molecules. The antibacterial activity studies revealed that compounds 3b and 3d exhibited the most effective zone of inhibition against bacterial strains E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity was carried out by MTT assay against MCF-7 cell line. The results showed excellent selectivity for all four compounds, among which the compound 3a exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity with a minimum cell viability range of 23.68 to 44.16%. The interaction of compounds with calf thymus DNA was determined using UV-absorption spectroscopy. The results confirmed that all the synthesized compounds interacted strongly with CT DNA through electrostatic or groove binding. In silico ADME-toxicology studies indicated that all the molecules under investigation are non-toxic with good oral bioavailability. The drug-likeness score indicated that they are suitable as drug-leads. In silico molecular docking the specified compound 3b bound with GlcN-6-P and P38 MAPk with a minimum binding energy of –7.9 and –6.4 kcal/mol, respectively. DFT study demonstrated that compound 3d was chemically and biologically more reactive due to less energy gap.

Published: October 2021

Cement-based composites reinforced with steel bars are the primary material in the construction of infrastructure. Their durability in the service environment is thus a crucial topic. The application of bio-mineralisation technology shows great prospects in improving the properties of cement-based materials (CBMs). In this study, the underlying mechanism was explored by investigating the effects of various factors on the mineralisation gradient at the surface layer of CBMs. Four factors were studied to investigate the process of bacterial action: the absorption of carbon dioxide from the air, the transformation of carbon dioxide into HCO3−, the adsorption of Ca2+ from the pore solution of CBMs and the formation of calcium carbonate in pores, which results in a decrease in porosity. The results of calcium carbonate content and porosity indicated that bacteria could regulate the mineralisation gradient at the surface of CBMs. Numerical calculations and experimental measurements were also conducted for further verification.
Activation energy approach for alkali-activated glass inorganic binders in different aging conditions
Authors: Chen Tai-An
Published: October 2021

In this study, waste glass was alkali-activated by activators with different amounts of sodium hydroxide and subjected to aging. The chemical reactions and resulting microstructures and properties of the alkali-activated glass inorganic binders (AAGIBs) were affected by the aging temperature and duration. An activation energy approach was used to evaluate the effects of aging temperature and duration on the 4-day compressive strengths of the AAGIB specimens. When the amount of sodium hydroxide in the activators was low, the activation energies for the dissolution and polycondensation reactions of the AAGIBs were 83.3 kJ/mol and 44.6 kJ/mol, respectively. As the weight fraction of sodium oxide (FSO) in the activators was increased, the microstructure of the hardened binder was destroyed because of vigorous stirring during aging. Consequently, the activation energy of the AAGIB polycondensation reaction increased to 76.2 kJ/mol when FSO > 5%.

Published: October 2021

In this research study, crumb rubber geopolymers (CRGs) were prepared to alleviate the brittleness and enhance the impact strength of a geopolymer matrix. Two different sizes of crumb rubber (CR), 0.86 ± 0.25 mm (20m-CR) and 0.32 ± 0.14 mm (40m-CR), were used to replace the geopolymer matrix at 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%. With increasing CR content, the bulk density was found to decrease while the porosity increased. The compressive and flexural strengths of the composite progressively decreased with increasing CR content. The greatest decrease was found in the 40m-CRG series. The rubberised geopolymer under compression testing remained intact after failure, suggesting improved ductility, as expected. Although the fracture toughness was insignificantly influenced by the CR size, the impact of CR content remains unclear. The impact strength was observed to improve around three-fold in the CRGs with 20 wt% CR, regardless of the CR size. Due to its fragility and low impact strength, the use of geopolymer paste in some construction applications is limited. This promising impact strength improvement thus opens up an opportunity for geopolymer-based materials to be used in such areas.

Authors: de Andrade Guilherme Faria Souza Mussi , Lima Bruno Teixeira , Sieira Ana Cristina Castro Fontenla
Published: October 2021

Laboratory investigations using balloon tests were performed on normally consolidated kaolin samples to investigate their behaviour during and after the balloon expansion. The tests were carried out to simulate a soft soil improvement technique called CPR grouting (acronym for deep radial consolidation). The results allowed estimations of the parameters used in the design method, such as the consolidation potential, and evaluating the generation of pore pressures, injection pressures, post improvement deformation and optimised expanded volume. It was observed that the consolidation potential was extremely dependent on the substitution ratio. The tests satisfactorily reproduced the behaviour of the technique and represent a new device for geotechnical engineers, especially for those concerned with the improvement of soft soils.

Published: October 2021

Ferrous gluconate has been widely used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia due to its good therapeutic effect, high utilization, and low toxicity. However, the improper management of expired waste ferrous gluconate may also result in the flow of excessive ferrous ion into the environment, which may do harm to the organisms in the world. For this purpose, expired waste ferrous gluconate was firstly recycled in the form of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4)/carbon (C) by a fluid method and a post-calcination at the different temperatures of 400 and 500°C, and the effect of the calcination temperature on the morphology, micro-structure, and supercapacitive performances was also studied. The results showed that the obtained dark-brown CoFe2O4/C powders exhibited the loose mesoporous tremella-like morphology and satisfactory electrochemical supercapacitive performances, in which CFO-400 delivered higher electrochemical performances than CFO-500 due to lower crystallinity, higher electrical conductivity, and higher surface area. For example, the specific capacitance of CFO-400 electrode was as high as about 503 F/g at 0.5 A/g in the three-electrode system, and it remained 106 F/g after 5000 cycles at 5.0 A/g with 86% capacity retention in the symmetrical two-electrode capacitor, showing satisfactory long cycle stability. No doubt, these results provided a new successful recovery strategy for the circular economy of expired ferrous gluconate.

A antropologia forense lida com perícias criminais de ossadas e de cadáveres carbonizados ou em avançado estado putrefativo, sendo crucial a definição do perfil biológico (PB) dos indivíduos com as estimativas de sexo, idade, estatura e ancestralidade. O exame dos ossos do quadril, do crânio e dos membros, em conjunto, apresenta maior precisão técnica nestas estimativas. Entretanto, nem sempre todos estão presentes, o que torna importante o estudo de partes isoladas para a avaliação do PB. O osso esterno é uma opção, pois resiste à decomposição e é de fácil exame. Estudo transversal com avaliação de 65 esternos secos periciados em unidade de medicina legal, buscando correlacionar seis medidas, a massa e 13 parâmetros qualitativos desse osso, a fim de ser elaborada proposta de estimativa do PB dos periciados com base no esterno. A largura da terceira esternébra e a largura/o comprimento/a massa do esterno foram significativamente maiores nos homens. Com base no grau de fusão da junção xifosternal foi criada uma equação para a estimativa da idade e com base na massa do manúbrio e no comprimento do corpo foram criadas três equações para a estimativa da estatura. A única característica que se associou à ancestralidade foi o formato do manúbrio, sendo observados manúbrios planos apenas para ancestralidade africana. Estes resultados demonstram potencial aplicação prática na estimativa do PB com base na avaliação do esterno. Entretanto, o pequeno número de casos analisados demanda que os dados obtidos sejam testados em uma amostra maior de indivíduos.

The article analyzes the methods of detecting driver fatigue which are described in modern literature. There are a great variety of methods for assessing the functional state of a person. A functional state is an integral set of characteristics of those functions and qualities of a person that directly or indirectly determine the performance of any activity. The physical and mental state of a person, the success of his work, training, creativity depends on the functional state of the organism. The assessment of dynamic driver behavior has become an increasingly popular area of research in recent years. Dynamic assessment of driver behavior includes continuous monitoring that allows you to determine functional states, in contrast to modern driver monitoring systems, which assess conditions such as drowsiness and impaired attention for a short (1-10 s) time interval. Such systems allow us to talk about physiological, but not neurophysiological monitoring, which allows monitoring the functional state of fatigue. Therefore, it makes sense to monitor the driver’s state of fatigue of, as well as to warn them in a timely manner to avoid collisions with other vehicles. In the article, a study was carried out and an analysis of the ways to obtain the appropriate characteristics from a person, with the help of which it is possible to determine his functional state of fatigue. As a result of the analysis of the sources, the most common methods for determining the functional state of the driver were selected. Further, the sources found were classified according to the most common methods for obtaining significant characteristics of the functional state of the driver. As a result, a comparative analysis was made, demonstrating the capabilities of modern systems of this class.

A Educação tem o importante papel de contribuir para a formação de cidadãos, sujeitos que compreendem todas as relações da sociedade e tomam decisões conscientes acerca da própria vida. Quando o processo educativo tematiza questões científicas, é chamado Educação Científica. Considerando a importância da Educação, cada vez mais são importantes reflexões sobre a avaliação deste processo. Este trabalho tem objetiva compreender e analisar a realização e efetividade dos processos avaliativos no contexto do Ensino Remoto Emergencial, ocasionado pela pandemia da Covid-19, a partir de relatos de professores da rede estadual de ensino de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Este artigo foi realizado no âmbito do Estágio Supervisionado do Curso de Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal de Lavras. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com professores das Ciências da Natureza atuantes em escolas estaduais da cidade de Lavras e região. Estas entrevistas foram analisadas qualitativamente através da categorização temática que se deriva da análise de conteúdo. Após análise, foi possível perceber que o processo educativo vem sendo avaliado sumativamente através dos Planos de Estudos Tutorados (PETs), ou seja, uma simples atribuição de notas que quantificam a presença dos alunos e entende esse processo como avaliado. Além disso, os professores destacaram que há uma dificuldade de pensar novas estratégias avaliativas, dado todo o contexto político-social em que estamos vivendo. Assim, não se tem clareza sobre a efetividade dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem e consequentemente para a formação cidadã. Neste sentido, compreendemos a importância de refletirmos e buscarmos enfrentamentos reais para tal problemática.
Crise ambiental e crise sanitária no Brasil
Authors: Moreira Inês da Silva , Ruwer Leia Maria Erlich
Published: October 2021

A crise do meio ambiente e a crise sanitária por que passa o Brasil é notória, atual, e os temas carecem de solução a curto prazo. Ambas são turbinadas por um claro negacionismo verificado nas declarações do presidente do país, o que contribui para o surgimento de correntes favoráveis e contrárias. Os mais diversos atores passam a reagir de modo individual ou coletivo, mas demonstrando posições que em nada contribuem para uma solução. Pelo contrário, como não há uma liderança efetiva, o que se nota é uma mescla de uma ação caótica, que remete à figura de um polvo ao contrário: Os mais diversos tentáculos buscam resolver o problema, mas a inexistência de coordenação impede que a solução ocorra. Inclui a mais recente ampliação da crise sanitária, os problemas relacionados à pandemia do Covid-19 em nosso país, gerada pelos desencontros em relação ao seu enfrentamento. A análise da situação pretende, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e falas dos mais diversos atores, posto que se trata de uma situação ainda em andamento, chamar a atenção para os problemas e sugerir ações que se mostrem coordenadas. Também pretende demonstrar que a demora pelo enfrentamento de uma, crise ambiental, pode ensejar e agudizar a outra, crise sanitária.
Parapuã (SP) e a Requalificação de Espaços Livres ao Longo dos Rios Urbanos

Published: October 2021

Estudar a cidade contemporânea é um dos primeiros passos para se entender e buscar soluções cabíveis para algumas das problemáticas atuais, por isso ela vem sendo cada vez mais utilizada como objeto de estudo e percebida como uma estrutura com identidade própria. O aspecto identificado e pormenorizado neste artigo é o da fragmentação socioespacial das cidades contemporânes e como este aspecto reflete, na descontinuidade dos espaços livres públicos que constituem grande parte do tecido urbano. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar possíveis relações sistêmicas destes espaços livres urbanos por meio de exemplos reais na cidade objeto de estudo, Parapuã-SP, e analisar os benefícios que a interligação desses espaços traria na construção da paisagem contemporânea ao aproveitar um grande potencial latente, principalmente naquelas áreas em que a água se faz presente no meio urbano. Como resultado foi constatada a viabilidade da proposta apresentada, tanto por meio do estudo da morfologia e evolução da urbe, através de mapas e projetos urbanísticos quanto pelas entrevistas realizadas com os moradores da cidade, em especial, com aqueles que habitam nas proximidades das áreas estudadas.
“Perrotta Psychotherapeutic Protocol for Disorders of the Neurotic Area” (PPP-DNA): Proposal of protocol, profiles and clinical applications. Research
Authors: Giulio Perrotta
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This research addresses the topic of anxiety, phobic and obsessive disorders. In this research, the theme is addressed to the psychopathological investigation of personalities, according to the PICI-2TA model (Perrotta Integrative Clinical Interviews, version 2-TA), the PAD-Q (Perrotta Affective Dependency Questionnaire), the PSM (Perrotta Sexual Matrix), the PDM-Q (Perrotta Defence Mechanisms Questionnaire) and the PHEM model (Perrotta Human Emotions Model), in order to design a direct and functional psychotherapeutic protocol to manage the psychopathological process in the shortest time possible, according to the principles of efficiency, effectiveness and economy, trying to reduce the symptomatology until the total regression by the fifth-tenth session. Methods: Clinical interview and administration of the PICI-2, the PAD-Q, the PSM, and the PDM-Q. Results: In the male group, aged 18-36 years, there were 8 people, of whom 6 (75%) reacted to the total resolution of the neurotic symptomatology described between the fifth and ninth sessions, while only 2 (25%) said they felt their neurotic symptoms had subsided. In the male group, aged 37-54 years, there are 5 people, of whom 4 (80%) reacted to the total resolution of neurotic symptomatology described between the fifth and ninth sessions. In the male group, aged 55-72 years, there were 6 people, of whom 4 (66.6%) reacted to the total resolution of neurotic symptoms described between the ninth and tenth sessions. In the female group, aged 18-36 years, there were 22 people, of whom 18 (82%) reacted to the total resolution of neurotic symptoms described between the fifth and ninth sessions. In the female group, aged 37-54 years, there were 13 people, of whom 9 (69.2%) reacted to the total resolution of neurotic symptoms described between the fifth and ninth session. In the female group, aged 55-72 years, there were 11 people, of whom 8 (72.7%) reacted to the total resolution of neurotic symptoms described between the fifth and ninth sessions. Conclusions: The research showed that the PPP-DNA protocol, for neurotic disorders, was effective in the total population sample for 74.36%, for the fractionated male population sample for 73.86% and for the fractionated female population sample for 74.86%, with resistance to change identified in adverse conditions of family, environmental, socio-cultural and temporal type (of duration of neurotic symptomatology), however able to promote an attenuation of the symptomatology suffered by at least 50%.

Explaining political choice: prospects for economic theory
Authors: Slukhai S.
Published: October 2021

The goal of the article is to demonstrate the potential of the economic theory in political choice as opposed to market choice. The article analyzes the input of economic theory to analyzing political choice. The following research objectives were set: (a) to highlight the development of the modern economic theory with regard to political choice with special semphasis on studies dealing with transition nations; (b) to demonstrate relevance or irrelevance of economic voting concept under conditions of modern Ukraine; (c) to find out how the information imperfectness and its comprehension by consumers in the political market affect the resulting choice. The scope of this study extends to an individual’s choice within the political market, and a subject is its distinctiveness under conditions of transition society. It is shown that political choice is characterized by inherent irrationality that gives space to different ways of external influencing voter preferences. The author proves that the economic vote is not present in the Ukrainian political context.
