Published: March 2020

A bimetallic coordination polymer is prepared via a hydrothermal reaction of H2DDBA and In(NO3)3 in water with NaOH as a pH regulator. Its chemical formula is [In2Na(H2O)6(ddba)3]·(NO3)(H2O)7 (1, H2ddba = 4,4'-dithiodibenzoic acid). The composition and atomic arrangement of the prepared complexes are studied by the elemental analysis (EA) and the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. Moreover, a process of sonochemistry with oleic acid treatment at 453 K is used to produce nano­structure 1. In the biological function detection, a miRNA relative expression is detected via RT-PCR and Bcl-2 expression level is determined with the Western blot. The Annexin V-FITC/PI staining is performed to detect retinoblastoma cell apoptosis after treatment with nano-1.

Sustentabilidad y desempeño ambiental de la agricultura protegida: el caso de Zacatecas
Authors: Padilla Bernal Luz Evelia , Herrera Alfredo Lara , Rodríguez Alberto Vélez
Published: March 2020

El diseño de un programa público que implique medidas agroambientales requiere del conocimiento de opiniones de productores y de las prácticas de producción aplicadas. En este trabajo se clasifican las opiniones sobre sustentabilidad en las unidades de producción (UPs) bajo agricultura protegida en el estado de Zacatecas, se determinan sus prácticas ambientales, así como impulsores y barreras para la adopción de programa agroambiental. Se pretende apoyar estrategias para el diseño de políticas públicas que contribuyan a la sustentabilidad del sector agrícola en México. La información se obtuvo; a través, de un cuestionario aplicado a propietarios o técnicos de las UPs durante los meses de mayo a diciembre de 2016. La información se procesó; a través, de análisis de componentes principales y análisis de conglomerados. También se obtuvo el índice de desempeño ambiental (IDA). Las opiniones sobre sustentabilidad en las UPs muestran dos grandes visiones: una que se fundamenta considerando aspectos internos de la organización y el acceso a mercados y la otra que tiene una visión relajada sobre el cuidado al ambiente, considerando para estos fines menor relevancia a los aspectos de mercado, organizacionales y sociales. El IDA mostró que en las UPs aún falta mucho por cambiar para lograr sistemas de producción sustentables. Para el diseño e implementación de un programa agroambiental se sugiere condicionar los apoyos directos a los productores al establecimiento de prácticas agrícolas sustentables o a la adquisición de infraestructura amigable con el medio ambiente.

Published: March 2020

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are very polymorphic and affect people of all ages. They concern both rare diseases and more common diseases. Improving knowledge of NDs in the French Caribbean region requires special attention because of the unique environmental and genetic background of its populations. In Martinique, there is a huge need for scientific research on rare NDs. While epidemiological and clinical research has increased over the past decade in the French West Indies, there is still little or no data on the genetics of NDs in these regions. The advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) on a global scale has the potential to make a difference in this field, provided that technological and analytical knowledge, based on bioinformatics, is available in Martinique. Caribbean Reference Center for rare neuromuscular and neurological disorders (CERCA), is a reference center for diagnosis, health care and treatment of rare NDs. It supports our capacity building project in the clinical characterization of rare NDs with motor impairment, with or without dementia. In collaboration with CERCA, we designed a two-step pilot study, consisting of: 1) the creation of a clinical and biological database to select informative cases, and 2) to screen them by whole exome sequencing. This innovative approach involves: 1) mobilization of medical and clinical knowledge for the characterization of rare ND, with the support of a register of experts, and 2) expertise in molecular biology, molecular pathways and bioinformatics. This preliminary study confirms the need to consider our French West Indian population in these specificities. It reveals the effectiveness of a well-tune database for identifying pathogenic variants in a cohort of French West Indian patients with presumed genetic NDs, associated with motor impairment with or without dementia. It is a proof of concept that the creation of a register of NDs and the mastery of NGS technique, can provide additional expertise in research and patient management in the Caribbean. The continuation of this capacity building project should increase CERCA’s skills and outreach. Such an initiative is clearly innovative for the region and would bring the Caribbean, Latin America and North America communities together, around the subject.
ESP Courses and Identity Formation: The Case of Introvert Students
Authors: Rashtchi Mojgan , Porkar Reza
Published: March 2020

Identity formation is one of the main concerns of today’s education and can have a vital role in ESP learners’ future professional success. This study investigated whether the employment of interactive practices in ESP courses had any impact on the identity formation of introvert students. Initially, 200 undergraduate students majoring in Computer Sciences, Accounting, and Physical Education answered the introversion/extraversion section of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Cheek and Briggs’ Aspects of Identity Questionnaire (AIQ-IV). Based on their performance on MBTI, 90 learners with the extravert, introvert, and non-discriminating personality traits were selected from six classes and formed the three Extravert, Introvert, and Control (n1=n2=n3=30) groups. The students had taken a Specialized English course in the second semester of their BA program. The classes lasted 14 sessions. During the treatment, the researchers employed different activities for teaching ESP. After the instruction, the participants took the AIQ-IV. The results of ANCOVA indicated that the Introvert group gained significantly higher scores on the identity questionnaire than the Extravert and Control groups. The results of paired samples t-tests showed that while introverts had improved considerably in all components of the identity questionnaire, the Extravert and Control groups did not show any changes. The findings indicated that in interactive classroom environments, introvert learners had more inclination than the extravert and mixed introvert and extravert learners toward a shift in identity. The study has implications for ESP teachers, practitioners, and educators.

Authors: Petkova Nadezhda , Ognyanov Manol , Inyutin Blaga , Zhelev Petar , Denev Panteley
Published: March 2020

Crab apple (Malus baccata (L.) Borkh.) was mainly distributed in Europe as an ornamental plant, but the nutritional properties of its edible fruits were not fully revealed. The aim of the current study was to characterize the phytochemical composition of ripen carb apple fruits and to evaluate their nutritional and antioxidant potentials. The fruits were assayed for moisture and ash content, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, titratable acidity (TA), pH, total phenolic compounds and natural pigments. Among the analyzed carbohydrates cellulose was found in the highest content (6% dw), followed by sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) and 1.8 % dw uronic acids. The total chlorophylls and carotenoids contents in their fruits were 6.51 and 4.80 μg/g fw, respectively. Total monomeric anthocyanins were not detected. The highest content of total phenolic compounds (2.67 mg GAE/g fw) was found in 95 % ethanol extract from fruits, while the total flavonoids were relatively low – 0.1 mg QE/g fw. DPPH assay (17.27 mM TE/g fw) and FRAP assay (14.34 mM TE/g fw) demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activities of crabapple. Malus baccata fruits were evaluated as a rich source of dietary fibers and phenolic compounds with significant antioxidant potential that could be used in human nutrition.
Ivan Poddubny’s Disciple: Artistic Image of Athlete and Strongman in Historical Novel
Authors: Guseinov Malik Alievich
Published: March 2020

The article for the first time provides a comprehensive literary analysis of the historical novel by M.-N. Khalilov “Sali Suleiman” identifying its meaningful and formal components. It is shown that the novel, representing evolution of the historical novel genre, became a landmark of the Kumyk and, more broadly, Dagestan post-Soviet prose. The paper argues that the author’s appeal to poetical means, traditions of epical folklore is conditioned by the image of the main hero, athlete and strongman, who remained in the people’s memory as an extra-ordinary personality. The role of the Russian sports culture representative, world-famous wrestler I. Poddubny as Suleiman’s teacher is highlighted.

New Age Mystery: On Genre Nature of G. G. Byron’s Biblical Drama “Cain”
Authors: Mikhailenko Elena Nikolaevna
Published: March 2020

The article discusses the problem of the genre nature of G. G. Byron’s biblical drama “Cain”. Mystery is considered as an ontological genre whose logic requires an extremely generalized model of the universe thereby endowing mystery with a myth-creating potential. It is shown that Byron’s genre attribution of “Cain” is right, because the poet modified the mystery genre taking into account requirements of the modern epoch. The conclusion is made that Byron, having brought together biblical and natural scientific models of the universe, created his own romantic myth that represents dualistic worldview of that time.

Motive of Temptation in L. M. Leonov’s Novelistics
Authors: Zadorina Alena Olegovna
Published: March 2020

The article analyses motive of temptation in L. M. Leonov’s novels “The Thief”, “Sot”, “Road to the Ocean”.

The paper identifies to what extend Polybius was influenced by popular religious beliefs and by the Stoic doctrine in relation to the irrational notion Tyche, which in the context of Polybius’ work is defined as “indeterminable determination”. As a result the author proves that Polybius was mostly influenced by popular religious beliefs, since the Tyche notion wasn’t commonly used in the Stoic philosophy.

Authors: Katysheva Dzhenni Nikolaevna
Published: March 2020

The article examines the role and importance of choreographic monologue in its most mature forms developed by outstanding choreographers and artists in ballet theatre of the first and especially second half of the XX century. This problem has not been previously investigated in art criticism. Choreographic monologue is widely used in modern choreography, which seeks to reveal dramatic depths of the human’s inner world. Applying to creative heritage of the recent past allows identifying the factors promoting further psychologization of dance, choreographic implementation of the human’s internal conflicts, which contributes to the development of modern ballet theater.

The author summarizes historical experience of formation and development of militia/police training institutions. The paper focuses on studying initial (professional) training of police/militia officers in three Russian Federation subjects (the Republic of Buryatia, the Trans-Baikal territory and Irkutsk region). The conducted research allows concluding that the issues of police/ militia officers’ professionalism remained relevant over a long period. The researcher emphasizes the necessity to take into account the existing experience when reforming the sphere of law-enforcement activity.
Using Policy Briefs as Assessment to Integrating Research-Led Employability in Foreign Policy Courses
Authors: Lightfoot Simon
Published: March 2020

The aims of this paper are to highlight the way policy briefs were employed as an assessment tool on a final year foreign policy orientated Politics/IR module in a UK university. It explores the skill/employability rationale behind the use of the tool alongside wider concerns about diversity of assessment before moving onto some practical aspects of its introduction within the module and the evolution of the task. Finally, it reflects on student opinion of the assessment, it highlights some of the expected and unexpected challenges in using policy briefs as an assessment tool and proposes some future modifications. Overall, this paper argues that policy briefs can be utilised on more “traditional” modules and that they have a range of benefits for both students and staff, confirming the general findings of Chagas-Bastos and Burges (2018) and others, whilst making a more explicit case for their use in relation to the fact that the tool allows students to demonstrate research-based employability skills.
Introduction: Innovative Teaching on European (Foreign) Affairs
Authors: Maurer Heidi , Niemann Arne , Plank Friedrich
Published: March 2020

This special section seeks to extent our knowledge on teaching innovative methods in European Union (EU) Foreign Affairs in time of challenges, politicisation, and digitalisation. It shares the experience of established and early career colleagues on how they designed, implemented, and applied specific innovations in their teaching. The section focuses on these experiences and aims to provide guidance on how specific ideas were put into practice in a hand-on and reflective manner. It seeks to tip into what works and why and how we as educators deal with challenges. Contributions engage with teaching EU foreign policy via Problem-based learning (Tonra 2020), research-led teaching by linking policy briefs and employability (Lightfoot 2020), responsive teaching in times of radical change (O´Mahony 2020), and synchronous teaching among 13 universities (Plank and Niemann 2020). They offer insights into increasing the ownership of students, raise awareness of their subjectivity, stimulate critical thinking, or enhance student´s media skills as well as to foster their employability. All contributions showcase the added value of the applied innovations, but also discuss obstacles that need to be considered in the conceptualisation and implementation of the proposed active approaches.
Enhancing the Visualization of Laue Diffraction for Analyzing Strength Model Parameters

X-ray diffraction is important for analyzing crystals and their structures. Since the simulated diffraction patterns are costly, surrogate models are developed to enable fast time-to-solution. However, surrogate models produce slightly different output from the ground truth (simulation). Understanding and exploring these differences easily is an important topic for materials scientists. Visual comparison of these differences is difficult because diffraction spots are often very sparse and occupy few pixels in the images. In this work, we propose to use Voronoi-based tessellations to enhance visualizations of diffraction patterns. We propose to use this method for exploration of individual images as well as for visualizing the differences between the emulated and simulated outputs. We use Cinema-based viewers for exploration of the analyzed output. Domain expert feedback is provided to validate the utility of the proposed visualization and exploration system.
