Published: May 2020

Art, in a way, is a form of communication, which allows the artist to express their view to the world, show their interpretation and let others see the world through the eyes of the artist. Calendars are the most popular and long-term means of advertising, which is why their design requires a lot of attention. It is important that it does not only look good, but also provides information, fulfils the function of a promotional souvenir and creates an image throughout the entire year ahead. Graphic design is a form of visual communication whose purpose is to solve visual and graphic problems using artistic approaches provided by typography, different printing technologies, or image processing techniques, mechanical or analogue methods, or digital, with the aim to create a graphic design work or solve a graphic problem. Graphic design is more like a visual intermediary between the message and its recipient and a way of delivering the message to the recipient. The Aim of the Article: study graphics as the dominant feature of art in the design of calendars created by modern Latvian artists and analyse expert interviews to find out the opinions of specialists in the field about the significance of the content and design of artistic calendars nowadays. The research results were obtained using theoretical research methods: the study, analysis and evaluation of scientific and journalistic literature and Internet sources, which reveals the essence of the problem in question; expert interviews were carried out as well, which are empirical research methods.

The article is devoted to the topic of possible transformations in the paradigm of socio-economic development of modern world civilization, in the context of climate change. The purpose of the study: to identify what it would be desirable to change in textbooks on economics so that those who study, becoming managers and politicians, do not destroy the Earth’s biosphere by their actions. What in the economic mainstream underlies those pathological features of the world economy that lead all of humanity to the climatic apocalypse? At the level of theory, this is due to the extreme subjectivity of modern economic theory, which has taken the form of abandoning the category of “value”. The discussion of value is potentially of great practical importance: it is, in essence, a discussion of the legitimacy of the entire modern world financial and economic order. as the whole experience of world civilization shows, new ideas replace old ones when a new generation grows, for which these ideas are an organic part of their view of the world. Therefore, a change in the financial and economic paradigm should begin with changes in the textbooks of economics.

Published: May 2020

Over fifteen years, polypharmacy has increased by 4.9% across all age groups. Consequently, the responsibility of professionals for advising patients in such cases has increased as well. The research aims at studying patients' habits when purchasing and using medicinal products to enhance the theoretical and practical training of assistant pharmacists at the RSU Red Cross Medical College. The research is based on the patient questionnaires and further analysis of results within a focus group. 404 respondents were interviewed between December 2017 and November 2019. Under the conventions of social studies, this ensured a 3% margin of error at a confidence level of 5%. According to the results of the questionnaire, 44% of the surveyed women and 66% of men were rarely or very rarely interested in the possible side effects of a new medicinal products, food supplement or herbal product. Patients could obtain such information by reading the package leaflet, however, 24% of women and 40% of men read it very rarely or rarely. 30% of respondents used four or more prescription and over-the-counter medical substances on a daily basis. The information-gaining habits of the population regarding side effects and interactions of medicinal products, food supplements and herbal remedies suggest patients must receive oral and more detailed information from a pharmacist. Based on the obtained results, the focus group outlined opportunities for raising pharmacy students' competences.
THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT OF THERUSSIAN-BELARUSIAN BORDER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERSTATE INTEGRATION
Authors: Kuzavko Anton
Published: May 2020

The problem considered in the article is expressed in contradiction. On the one hand, the border position of the regions provides additional opportunities for the implementation of business ideas of international trade and cooperation. On the other hand, it can significantly change the business environment in comparison with other regions of the state, increasing competition and creating additional risks for entrepreneurs. The analysis explains the reason for the lag in the level of economic development of these regions from the national one. The aim of the study is to find evidence of hypothesis that the inter-metropolitan and at the same time border position of the regions of the two states engaged in political and economic integration negatively affects the economic development and business climate of these territories, stimulates the outflow of capital and labor resources - key factors of production. To achieve the goal, various methods are used, such as in-depth interviewing, questions from entrepreneurs, a retrospective analysis of historical facts of interstate interaction, but this article describes the results of the study obtained in the course of statistical analysis. This article discusses the elements of the business environment that directly or indirectly affect the behavior of economic and their desire to build and develop business in the border areas of Russia and Belarus. It is shown that over the years of integration, the economic growth rates of the Russian-Belarusian border regions lagged behind the national ones. Wages remained lower than the national average. This provokes the outflow of intellectual capital - the most important element of the business environment. Thus, the article shows that the integration of Russia and Belarus, despite the overall positive effect for the two states, limits the rate of economic growth in the border zone.

Authors: Ciematnieks Uģis , Streiķe Beāte
Published: May 2020

Physical conditioning is crucial in building motion skills if the coach wants to ensure long-term athletic development. The essence is that physical conditioning needs to be developed before the development of technical skills of sports movements at a much higher intensity at each stage of the multi-annual training process. The adult competition system and training programs are being imposed on young athletes, so the essential motion skills are not being learned (Grāvītis @ Luika, 2015). The lack of physical conditioning in teenage years is very often reflected in the most inappropriate moments of an athlete's career, at the elite level. Insufficient physical conditioning is a reason for the instability of motion skills and injuries in extreme physical and psychological loads. The amount of physical activity can be measured as a step count. The aim of the research is to assess physical fitness rate for children practicing basketball, football or ice hockey with EUROFIT test battery. The study included boys, 100 basketball players, 100 soccer players and 100 ice hockey players from Latvia who were born in 2002 and started training in their sport during at the ages from 7 to 9, collected data of their conditioning for five years, divided into three age groups. According to EUROFIT tests, it was concluded that the ice hockey players have the highest physical conditioning rates according to EUROFIT standard from the athletes analyzed, and the basketball players have the lowest physical conditioning rates in EUROFIT tests from the athletes analyzed. We can conclude that the results of hockey players are higher than the scores of basketball and soccer players because ice hockey players practice more frequently, and dryland training is strictly organized, they develop all motor abilities that is needed for successive training in basic drills on ice.

Published: May 2020

Social capital is a concept that is widely studied in different fields of science, in different dimensions of this concept, and consists of a number of elements, including trust, sense of belonging and affiliation. Given the multidimensional nature of social capital, researchers point to the challenges of its conceptualization and operationalization of its elements. Objective: To identify cross-sectional design studies, with nationally representative samples from European countries, where each study assessed following social capital elements: either trust and sense of belonging, or trust and affiliation, to identify other included social capital elements, to clarify how these elements are operationalized, to identify what social capital determinants are taken into account and what social capital manifestations have been evaluated.Method: Cross-sectional design studies, with nationally representative samples for European countries, conducted between 2014 and 2019, were sought in Science Direct, ProQuest, SAGE, EBSCO, Google Scholar, using the key words “social capital”, “trust”, “sense of belonging” and their synonyms. The methodological quality was assessed by Appraisal tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (Axis). Results: From initially identified 173 studies, the literature review included 3 studies. The included studies identify determinants of social capital (socio-demographic factors (2 studies) and political affiliation (1 study)) and manifestations of social capital (self-rated health (1 study), loneliness (1 study), willingness to pay for environmental quality (1 study)). The included studies define the bonding, bridging and linking types of social capital, as well as the structural and cognitive dimensions of social capital. The studies assessed and operationalized the following social capital elements: trust (3 studies), sense of belonging (1 study), support (1 study), frequency of contacts (2 studies), participation in associations (1 study), religious affiliation (1 study), civic activity (2 studies).

Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the study of school anxiety in adolescents-perfectionists and exploring ways of its correction. It was found that high levels of perfectionism in adolescents can increase the probability of impaired emotional well-being and, in particular, excessive levels of anxiety. To determine the level of perfectionism and components of school anxiety in pupils, two psychodiagnostic methods were used: the “Child-Adolescent Perfectionism Scale” by P. Hewitt and G. Flett and the “Multidimensional Anxiety Scale” by K. Malkova. The study of school anxiety was conducted in two stages: before and after correction. The correction involved setting realistic goals and adequate requirements for oneself; formation the ability for justified risk; shifting focus on achievement, not failure. The results of a comparative analysis of anxiety before and after correction in the participants of the experimental group indicated a statistically significant decrease anxiety related to the assessment of others; anxiety in relationships with teachers; anxiety related to school success; anxiety in knowledge testing situations. The results of a comparative analysis of experimental and control groups adolescents-perfectionists confirmed the effectiveness of corrective action aimed at reducing school anxiety due to the presence of destructive perfectionist attitudes.

Published: May 2020

In the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in people aged over 65 – in Latvia, it constitutes 34% of the population. It has been well established that depression is one of the psychiatric diseases often comorbid to dementia, therefore it is important to identify life-style related factors that could contribute not only to the delay of dementia symptoms but also decrease the possibility of depression in older adults. Thus the study aimed to investigate the relationship between work-related cognitive reserve, depression and overall cognitive functioning in older adults with no diagnosis of dementia or depression.84 older adults aged from 65 – 92 (Mdn = 77, SD = 6.17, 76% women) with no diagnosis of dementia or depression participated in the study. To assess work-related cognitive reserve, Cognitive Reserve Index questionnaire (Nucci, Mapelli, & Mondini, 2012) was used, while for depression measures the 15- item Geriatric Depression Scale (Sheikh & Yesavage, 1986) was used. Overall cognitive functioning was measured using The Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (Nasreddine et al., 2015).To identify the relationship between the three variables, Spearman correlation coefficient was used. All variables correlated significantly. Both, work-related cognitive reserve and depression, predicted cognitive functioning. These results offer an insight into the possible positive contribution of the cognitive reserve not only to cognitive functioning, but also psychological well-being later in life. More studies in larger samples should be conducted to confirm the observation from this study.

Published: May 2020

In this research differences between discrepancies in evaluations of value importance and reachability of Russian-speaking high school students from Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia were examined. The study sample included 30 high school students from Latvia, 30 from Estonia and 30 from Lithuania aged 16 to 18. All students completed value-rating survey developed by Fantalova (Fantalova, 2011) and demographic questionnaire. Results have shown that the key values in all the Baltic countries are similar: health, love, happy family and friends. There is basically no statistically significant difference between value importance, value reachability, and value conflicts. Statically significant differences between Latvian and Lithuanian pupils are in the following values: beauty of nature and art, but there are statistically significant differences between Latvian and Estonian pupils in the following values: materially secured life, interesting work. It was found that in these three samples value conflicts don’t creates enough tension to motivate action. It can thus be assumed that the migration of school graduates possibly is not linked to the inability to realize the values that are important to them in their country. As the tension between values grows, the reasons why young people emigrate from one of the Baltic countries may be different.

Políticas públicas em educação especial em tempos de ditadura: uma análise sobre a concepção de deficiência no Brasil no período 1973-1985
Authors: Garcia Rosalba Maria Cardoso , Kuhnen Roseli Terezinha
Published: May 2020

Neste trabalho, articulamos reflexões sobre a concepção de deficiência nas políticas de educação especial no Brasil no período da ditadura civil-militar, mediante análise documental cujo recorte temporal se delimita entre a criação do Centro Nacional de Educação Especial (Cenesp), em 1973, e o ano de 1985. A investigação se sustentou nos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos do materialismo histórico e dialético. Desenvolvemos a tese de que a compreensão da deficiência constituiu inteligibilidade sobre a organização dos processos educacionais e a concepção de deficiência foi constitutiva dos processos de incorporação dos sujeitos ao sistema de ensino e ao mercado de trabalho. A educação no período se traduziu em estratégia psicossocial da classe dominante para a internalização de consciência coletiva homogênea legitimadora do regime e do grupo no poder. A política de educação especial no Brasil incoporou inteligibilidade e modelo de serviços das instituições privadas de educação especial, cuja concepção de deficiência se assentava na dicotomia entre o normal e o patológico. A base biologizante desse modelo subordinava os processos pedagógicos à medicina positivista e funcionalista e se articulou ao binômio ordem e progresso, à normalização, seleção e classificação dos anormais, de modo a torná-los produtivos à sociedade capitalista e funcionais ao modelo político da ditadura.
En defensa del pensamiento de Ramón Carrillo: “La libertad en todas las formas es un derecho del pueblo”
Authors: Jaramillo Ana
Published: May 2020

En plena pandemia del Covid-19, y a raíz de la difusión de la imagen de un potencial nuevo billete que sería emitido en Argentina, en el que se incluirían las figuras de Ramón Carrillo (primer ministro de Salud Pública de Argentina) junto a Cecilia Grierson (primera médica de nacionalidad argentina), desde las embajadas que representan a potencias internacionales como Inglaterra e Israel comenzaron a calumniar a Ramón Carrillo. Desde la Universidad Nacional de Lanús, defendemos al sanitarista que nos enseñó la necesidad de formar médicos y médicas sanitaristas, ya que el verdadero problema no es la enfermedad individual sino la salud en términos colectivos.
Comparative study of two different neem-derived pesticides on Meloidogyne incognita under in vitro and pot trials under glasshouse conditions

Two different neem-derived plant protection products i.e neem leaf extract and a commercial product containing 1% azadirachtin were used to study their effects on M. incognita under in vitro and pot trails under glasshouse conditions. In the in vitro studies, highest concentration (1%) of neem leaf extract resulted in more than 90% mortality in J2 whereas the commercial product did not differ significantly in mortality compared to control. In the pot trials under glasshouse conditions, fresh shoot weight and number of fruits of both the landraces did not differ significantly for different treatments. Zeck scale was found to be the best for evaluation of gall index compared to other scales i.e Garabedian and Van Gundy scale and Mukhtar et al. scale. Gall index decreased in all the treatments compared to positive control and 0.1% azadirachtin was significantly different from the control. This shows that neem-derived pesticides can reduce the galling of roots and can help control M. incognita infestation with proper planning and implementing the treatments.
Complementation of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) SPATULA (FvSPT) and SPIRAL (FvSPR) genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study assessed the function of genes involved in wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L.) fruit development and maturation to better understand the mechanism of non-climacteric fruit ripening. SPATULA (FvSPT) and SPIRAL (FvSPR) genes of Fragaria vesca displayed differential expression between the green and red ripening stages. SPT, which encodes a bHLH transcription factor, was characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana L. where its recessive mutation caused degenerative carpel and fruit development. The spt mutant of A. thaliana had shorter, smaller, and wider spatula-shaped siliques than the wild type. SPT was expressed throughout the development of marginal and transmission tract tissues, confirming its role in regulating the growth of these tissues. Two A. thaliana SPIRAL genes, SPR1 and SPR2, are required for directional control of cell elongation. Recessive mutations in either of these genes decreased anisotropic growth of endodermal and cortical root cells and etiolated hypocotyls and caused right-handed helical growth in epidermal cells. The strawberry SPATULA (FvSPT) and SPIRAL (FvSPR) genes were amplified and spt and spr mutant A. thaliana plants were transformed with FvSPT::pGWB401, FvSPR1-1::pGWB401 and FvSPR1-2::pGWB401 vector constructs. Silique length and seed number/silique in the A. thaliana spt mutant were effectively complemented by FvSPT whereas spr was almost fully complemented by FvSPR1-2, but not by FvSPR1-1.

En Cali existen seis Salas de Parto Periféricas para la atención estatal del parto de bajo riesgo. Dichas Salas atienden el 25% de los partos institucionales. La atención está delegada a la Auxiliar de Enfermería quien es supervisada por la Enfermera Profesional.Se realizó una encuesta a 486 mujeres admitidas para la atención del parto con el objeto de describir su comportamiento frente a las acciones de salud que desarrolla el Programa Materno-lnfanfil dentro de un contexto global para la evaluación de los servicios que está realizando la Secretaría de Salud Pública Municipal de Cali, para revisar su esquema de prestación de servicios, reajustar las normas, el recurso y redefinir las acciones y las intervenciones. Se planteó, como prioridad, fortalecer la educación sexual en el Programa Escolar y a nivel de Bachillerato al observar que el 25.7% de las embarazadas son madres adolescentes; estudiar mecanismos innovadores para lograr una mayor cobertura de atención prenatal, al encontrar que el 16% de las mujeres no tuvieron control alguno. Se requiere mayor coordinación con el Programa de Odontología para mejorar el componente de salud oral, el 60% de las embarazadas no asistieron al control odontológico; los mayores obstáculos que se presentaron, al igual que en la no asistencia al control prenatal, son de tipo informativo y educativo (Cuadros Nos. 19 y 20).
