Caribbean Tertiary Institutions and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors:   Inter-American Development Bank
Published: June 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of schools across the Caribbean, including tertiary institutions. Colleges and universities turned to digital solutions and modified their pedagogy in order to sustain continuity of learning. Other adaptations like flexible payment schemes were made to allow students to stay enrolled. The University of West Indies CCEP and CLRI and the IDB co-hosted a conversation titled “Caribbean Tertiary Institutions and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic,” which sought to explore how tertiary institutions were coping with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation focused on the most prominent challenges and what measures the institutions had taken to deal with them, what they felt they had done well in adapting, and how sustainable they deemed those measures in supporting their operations in the medium to long term. A follow-up meeting was held with several students from UWI to further explore how they had been impacted. This publication shares the responses to these questions, offers lessons learned and outlines next steps for the Caribbean Tertiary Institutions and the IDB.
Microscale Walkability Modelling. The Case of Athens City Centre
Authors: Bartzokas-Tsiompras Alexandros , Photis Yorgos N.
Published: June 2021

To date, several macro-level walkability measures have been proposed, but microscale and audit-based walkability approaches prove to be highly effective to support realistic, quick and cheap mechanisms for pedestrian-friendly environments. Yet, walkability audits are time- and cost-intensive solutions, because they require several streetscape observations. This study aims to investigate whether a multiple linear regression model of urban form- and function-related variables can effectively predict an audit-based average walkability indicator. For this purpose, we use a virtual, brief and reliable audit tool (MAPS-Mini) in Athens city centre in order to collect street-level data and in turn to construct a microscale walkability indicator (dependent variable). Moreover, our approach suggests a flexible statistical model of open-source data, with six exploratory variables of the macro-level built environment: angular integration, population density, transit stop density, pedestrian street density, retail and entertainment activity density, and building height. The results indicate that audit-based average walkability scores can be effectively estimated, as the regression model can explain about 82% of the variation. Furthermore, the density of retail and entertainment activities was indicated as the strongest correlate of more walking-friendly streetscapes, while some urban policy implications include the promotion of footpath repairs and better-engineered crossings.

Published: June 2021

This study is aimed at analyzing the content of hydrogen sulfide in the air of the city of Atyrau, located in the northern part of the Caspian Sea of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The analysis was carried out on the basis of monitoring the indicators of the Republican State Enterprise "Kazhydromet" from 8 points located in different directions from the Atyrau oil refinery. Measurements of atmospheric air pollution are made by the GANK-4AR gas analyzer designed for continuous automatic measurement of concentrations of pollutants in the atmospheric air. Hydrogen sulfide was selected as an indicator air pollutant. Atyrau oil refinery is the main object of pollution of the territory of the city of Atyrau, located in the western part of the Republic of Kazakhstan, on the shore of the Caspian Sea. The results obtained show that the content of hydrogen sulfide in the territory of the city of Atyrau in most places shows an excess of the maximum permissible concentration. Especially the excess is observed in the north-western part up to 4-8 maximum permissible concentrations. At two points (in the north-eastern and western parts), the content of hydrogen sulfide did not exceed the maximum permissible concentration.
Application of Deep Learning Method for Daily Streamflow Time-Series Prediction: A Case Study of the Kowmung River at Cedar Ford, Australia
Authors: Latif Sarmad Dashti , Ahmed Ali Najah
Published: June 2021

Sustainable management of water supplies faces a comprehensive challenge due to global climate change. Improving forecasts of streamflow based on erratic precipitation is a significant activity nowadays. In recent years, the techniques of data-driven have been widely used in the hydrological parameter’s prediction especially streamflow. In the current research, a deep learning model namely Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and two conventional machine learning models namely, Random Forest (RF), and Tree Boost (TB) were used to predict the streamflow of the Kowmung river at Cedar Ford in Australia. Different scenarios proposed to determine the optimal combination of input predictor variables, and the input predictor variables were selected based on the auto-correlation function (ACF). Model output was evaluated using indices of the root mean square error (RMSE), and the Nash and Sutcliffe coefficient (NSE). The findings showed that the LSTM model outperformed RF and TB in predicting the streamflow with RMSE and NSE equal to 102.411, and 0.911 respectively. for the LSTM model. The proposed model could adopt by hydrologists to solve the problems associated with forecasting daily streamflow with high precision. This study may not be generalized because of the geographical condition and the nature of the data for each location.
Confessional Polyvariance of Christian Apocalyptic: Common and Distinctive Features
Authors: Bardyn Maria
Published: June 2021

The twentieth century was a time of active expansion of Christian culture throughout the world. The Catholic and some Protestant churches resorted to this. This culture, becoming global, accommodated, and united a large number of cultural and religious minorities. At the same time, promoting its uniqueness, it could not always confirm her identity.

One of the characteristic features of the development of the modern world is an increased scale of events, greater internationalization of social processes, and their tendency to become global. Based on all modern problems, in the sense of their understanding and solution, Christian globalism were formed as a component of the doctrine of Christian denominations, which includes a full range of different concepts and ideas that reflect the typical human problems of modern civilization.

Since Christian eschatology is confessionally multivariate, it makes sense to explore both the characteristics common to all denominations and specific to some of them, as well as to identify transformational models and forms of adaptation of eschatological ideas to today's realities.

The actualization of the problem of moral-ethical and social aspects of Catholic eschatology, Christological-apocalyptic visions of Orthodox eschatological teaching, and the apocalyptic-prophetic character of Protestant eschatology in their transformational manifestations was designed to impart on the paper both theoretical and socio-practical significance.
Health Issues in the Guidelines of Christian Churches in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Traditions and Innovations
Authors: Nedavnya Оlgа
Published: June 2021

The article examines the guidelines of Christian Churches on human health problems in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Attention is focused on those Churches that operate in Ukraine and the countries of the Euro-Atlantic circle: the Roman Catholic Church, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Orthodox and Protestant Churches. The documents and practical actions of these Churches, as well as reasoning of their representatives related to this topic are analyzed, in particular: organizing of church life in the conditions of COVID-19, peculiarities of the sacraments, an attitude towards vaccination and more. Orthodox approaches and innovations, which some clergy of different Churches consider incompatible with church doctrine, have been revealed. The innovations discussed concern various forms of online participation in liturgies and other types of church life, administrating of the sacraments, determining whether vaccination against coronavirus is moral, and so on. It is noted that right now and in the near future all Churches will have to clarify and supplement their guidelines according to the challenges of today’s life. And the survival and authority of the Churches among contemporaries and future generations depend on the relevance of the corresponding evolution of church doctrines.

ДЕФИЦИТ ГУМУСА В ПОЧВЕ КАК ПРАКТИЧЕСКАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА ПОЛУЧЕНИЯ ПЛАНИРУЕМОГО КОЛИЧЕСТВА ПРОДУКЦИИ ПОЛЕВОДСТВА В РЕГИОНАХ ЛЕСОСТЕПИ И СТЕПИ ЕВРОПЕЙСКОЙ ТЕРРИТОРИИ РОССИИ
Authors: СВИРИДОВ В.И.
Published: June 2021

Проведенный автором на основе областных статистических сборников анализ динамики структуры посевных площадей по подзонам лесостепной и степной зон европейской части Российской Федерации за 2010-2018 гг. показал, что по мере вхождения России в мировой аграрный рынок сельхозтоваропроизводители все больше концентрируют свое внимание на выращивании лишь тех культур, которые гарантируют достижение наивысших экономических результатов: из группы зерновых это озимая пшеница, ячмень, кукуруза, из группы технических – подсолнечник, соя, рапс. Отмечается также тенденция устойчивого снижения в лесостепных и степных регионах ЕТР доли многолетних и однолетних трав и чистого пара в общей площади пахотных угодий. С целью оптимизации структуры посевных площадей на основе эколого-экономико-математического моделирования в работе предлагается оценочная шкала сельскохозяйственных культур по балансу гумуса при сложившейся в среднем за 2014-2018 гг. их урожайности в разрезе шести типичных административных регионов. Она свидетельствует о том, что баланс гумуса в почве практически по всем возделываемым культурам является отрицательным с дефицитом в лесостепной зоне от 280 до 920 кг/га в группе зерновых и от 1130 до 2020 кг/га в группе пропашных культур, а в степной зоне – от 450 до 870 и от 1350 до 1860 кг/га, соответственно. Даже многолетние травы, отличающиеся наибольшей способностью накапливать органическое вещество, при фактической их низкой урожайности в большинстве случаев не обеспечивают бездефицитный баланс почвенного гумуса. Безусловно, эти данные, полученные расчетным путем, следует рассматривать как ориентировочные и их целесообразно проверять экспериментально для каждого конкретного региона и соответствующего уровня урожайности выращиваемых культур.

The European Union’s Common Commercial Policy and the Covid-19 pandemic: Reactions and challenges
Authors: Mazur Grzegorz
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The general aim of the chapter is to investigate trade measures implemented in the EU in the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak and define general potential effects of the current economic turbulences on the future shape of the Common Commercial Policy (CCP). Design/methodology/approach: The chapter is based on literature/EU official documents studies and statistical analysis of the EU’s merchandise trade. It has been structured into three parts. The first one presents recent trends in the EU’s external merchandise trade caused by the pandemic’s economic repercussions. This is followed by ashort analysis of temporary trade restrictions implemented by many EU Members States and the EU in response to supply shocks. The third part refers to the potential impact of current trade and economic processes on the post-pandemic trade strategy of the EU. Findings: Although the future shape of global trade system and the pandemic’s impact on the nature of the CCP are subjects of high uncertainty, the conducted analysis offers some general conclusions. The implemented trade restrictions should be limited and made temporary as future trade openness is essential for economic recovery. There is also ageneral consensus that the EU’s CCP should ensure the necessary resilience to future trade distortions. However, this should not be connected with protectionism and narrowly understood self-sufficiency. Among important factors that reinforce the resilience, we should mention the solutions delivered by new technologies (e.g. automation, AI, three-dimensional printing), fair competition, higher transparency of trade policies, international standards, certification schemes, and stronger multilateral cooperation, including World Trade Organization’s reforms. The renewed trade strategy will also be accompanied with global trade and economic tendencies such as the reshoring and regionalization of trade. Originality and value: The chapter is addressed to students, scholars, and policymakers by contributing to the current debate on the post-pandemic shape of global trade relations and the future nature of the EU’s Common Commercial Policy.
Parodia e ironía como subversión de la tradición en el “Viaje a la oscura ciudad de Cacodelphia”
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, González Treviño Eridania
Published: June 2021

This research presents an analysis of the dialog between parody and irony, as a gender and a literary modality respectively, through its subversion function in the “Seventh book (Journey the dark city of Cacodelphia)” of the novel Adán Buenosayres by the argentinean writer Leopoldo Marechal. This study starts with an introductory approach to the general context of the novel, where narrative structure, the positioning of the modern man as the hero of the 20th century are discussed, along with the implicit parody in the “Journey to the dark city of Cacodelphia” and its predominant irony, both as subversive elements of transgression of the represented literary canon, in this case by the “Hell” of the Divine comedy by Dante Alighieri.
Frecuencia de patrones de anticuerpos antinucleares en pacientes con sospecha de enfermedades sistématicas reumáticas autoinmunes
Authors: Vázquez Castillo Tannya Verónica , Solís Martínez Raúl Antonio
Published: June 2021

Resumen
La pérdida de tolerancia inmunológica conlleva al establecimiento de una respuesta inmune en contra de antígenos propios. Los Ac. Antinucleares (ANA) son biomarcadores que a través de inmunofluorescencia indirecta, permiten la identificación de patrones de tinción los cuales, pueden ser ponderados. Se reconoce que títulos bajos pueden presentarse en la población sana, no así la presencia de títulos elevados que corresponden a enfermedades autoinmunes como el Lupus Eritematoso Sistémico (LES), aunque se debe recordar la presencia de estos en en pacientes con infecciones crónicas y neoplasias.
Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue la descripción de la frecuencia de los patrones de tinción de ANA de pacientes con sospecha de enfermedades autoinmunes en el sureste mexicano.
Materiales y métodos: Se emplearon células Hep-2 y anticuerpo anti-Ig G acoplado a FITC (EuroimmunTM) para el análisis de las muestras a través de inmunofluorescencia indirecta.
Resultados: Del total de los pacientes 89 fueron mujeres (87.2%) y 13 hombres (12.7%) en edades de 2 a 88 años. Se observó que 85 muestras (70.6 %) correspondieron al patrón nuclear, 10 (9.8 %) al patrón citoplasmático y 7 (6.8 %) al patrón mitótico. De los patrones nucleares, 37 (36.8%), 17 (16.7%) y 12 (11.8%) correspondieron a patrones homogéneo, granular fino y granular grueso respectivamente.
Conclusiones: En este trabajo se observó que la mayor frecuencia de anticuerpos antinucleares se encontró en pacientes en edad productiva. Los patrones más observados fueron el homogéneo, granular fino y granular grueso. El patrón homogéneo se asocia a LES cuando se presenta en títulos altos.
Palabras Clave: Anticuerpos antinucleares, patrones de tinción, enfermedades autoinmnunes

Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Estudiar la relación existente entre el desayuno y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de Técnico de Nivel Superior en Enfermería (TNSE) de la Universidad Adventista de Chile (UnACh). Material y Métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal, en un universo de 39 estudiantes que cursaron las asignaturas troncales durante los años 2016-2017 y a los que se aplicó un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo y hábitos alimenticios. Asimismo, se recogieron datos sociodemográficos y calificaciones académicas de dichos estudiantes. El rendimiento académico para este trabajo se definió como el promedio, por estudiante, de calificaciones en las asignaturas de Anatomía y Fisiología, Enfermería en Urgencias y Principios de Farmacología, Resultados: Un 73,5% de los encuestados consume cereales al menos 4 días/semana y 54,5% consume frutas al desayuno 3 días o menos por semana. El consumo de leche y sus derivados más de 3 días/semana se eleva a 61.7%. Se destaca el consumo de pan (66,7%), plátano (46,2%) y leche (30,4%), lo cual coincide con las preferencias de consumo de una familia chilena. Sumado a esto, el 53,8 % de los estudiantes encuestados no toman desayuno en casa, manifestando como principal causa la falta de tiempo (57,1%). En cuanto al rendimiento académico se encontró que el rango de la media de calificaciones varía de 53,9 a 61,0 (escala 1-100 puntos), con altas tasas de reprobación de 1 o más veces en las asignaturas cursadas. Conclusión: No se encontró una relación significativa entre calidad del desayuno y la media de calificaciones en las diferentes asignaturas, sin embargo, no es posible descartar totalmente que la calidad del desayuno o su omisión no altere el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes que impactan en el desarrollo de los procesos cognitivos.

The aim of the research. To examine the proteomic profi le of breast cancer exosomes. Material and methods. Cell lines used for this study were MDA-MB-231 female epithelial breast cancer cells (ATCC HTB-26) and MCF10A non-tumorigenic epithelial breast tissue cells. MVs were isolated using diff erential ultracentrifugation. Samples were lysed, reduced, alkylated, digested, and analyzed by an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer. MS raw fi les were analyzed using MaxQuant version 1.6.12.0. Peptides were searched against the human UniProt FASTA database using the Andromeda search engine, integrated into MaxQuant. Results. MVs derived from MCF10A and MDA-MB-231 cell lines were analyzed, and 1427 and 547 proteins were identifi ed in the MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A-derived MVs, respectively. In total, 455 proteins were common to both MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A MVs. MVs derived from MCF10A and MDAMB-231 cell lines were analyzed, and 1427 and 547 proteins were identifi ed in the MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A-derived MVs, respectively. In total, 455 proteins were common to both MDA-MB-231 and MCF10A MVs. Th e unique MDA-MB-231 MV proteins were searched against the DisGeNET human diseases database. Out of 972 MDA-MB-231 MV proteins, 112 were cancer-related while 32 were specifi cally associated with BC. In the MDA-MB-231 MV proteome, 23 Wnt signaling pathway proteins were identifi ed based on their GO biological process. Proteomic analysis identifi ed enzymes OAT, TALDO1, and BLMH were only in MVs from metastatic MDA-MB-231 cell line. The specific activity of OAT and TALDO1 was higher in MV fractions of MDA-MB-231 in comparison to the non-cancerous MCF10A cell line-derived MVs. Th ese fi ndings might suggest that these enzymes might play a role in BC. In our present study, we found that some enzymes identifi ed from MV fractions were already proposed to play a role in cancer therapy as therapeutic targets (OAT, TALDO1) and resistance against chemotherapy agents (BLMH).

“Give Us Liberty, or Give Us Money”: Growth of Regional Parties’ Influence in Contemporary Europe
Authors: Turov N.
Published: June 2021

Received 01.09.2020. In the early 21st century, many European countries saw an increased influence of political parties relying on localized communities. Many new regional parties (RPs) emerged, which put the scientific community in need of understanding the reasons behind their strengthening positions in Europe. The present research provides a critical review of the RPs’ definitions, examines their origins, place in the political spectrum, factors of electoral success and geographical distribution of their electorate. The study is based on the analysis of the parliamentary and regional elections results in 43 European countries in 2000–2019. A map of the RP support rate by region has been designed, showing areas of the strongest public support. Its correlation with ethnic and cultural composition, political structure, and uneven regional development of the countries of Western and Eastern Europe has been analyzed. Today, in parliamentary and regional elections, RPs receive more than 5% of votes in the area of around 600 sq. kms, or 40% of the European territory (overseas territories excluded). Particular attention is paid to party strategies in national and regional elections. Modern RPs diversify their programs going far beyond the interests of a particular sociocultural group. In parliamentary elections, they often make alliances with national parties. In turn, national parties sometimes speak in regional elections “under the local brand”. The satisfaction of the RPs’ demands to provide the regions with greater autonomy does not have a significant impact on their strategies, which request increasingly wider powers. Despite the fact that individual regional parties even get seats in national parliaments, they have practically no influence on the state policy shaping. Their rise is associated not with electoral results, but with trends in the European political process. One can speak not about the success of particular parties, but about the advancement of the idea of regionalism. Acknowledgements.

Energy Transition and Post-COVID World
Authors: Telegina E.
Published: June 2021

Received 13.01.2021. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated global economic, technological and social transformation, including the energy sector, and has given the impetus to energy transition from organic fuels to clean energy sources. Though oil will remain an important energy resource in the global energy balance, in the long run renewables will become the leading energy. The European Union and China are the leaders in implementation of energy transition strategies from fossil to clean energy. The transformation in the energy market has affected dramatically the relations between producers and consumers, who now actively determine the consumption trends (for example, green energy, electric vehicles, etc.). Distributed generation and blockchain in power industry enable the consumers to play an active part in the electricity production and distribution chains. Digital transformation and climate agenda are changing the structure of energy business from vertically integrated companies to knowledge-intensive networks. Investors almost unanimously vote for renewable energy. The largest oil and gas companies change their long-term strategies and transform into energy holdings with the prevailing share of renewables in the business structure. Hydrogen attracts particular attention as a promising energy source. The EU plans to develop hydrogen transport infrastructure. For its part, Russia has the ability to supply hydrogen to the European market through the existing gas pipelines. Coronacrisis accelerated the development of online services, artificial intelligence, and distant work. Education and telemedicine received a powerful impetus for further development. Еducation becomes continuous process in the digital world. New educational ecosystems in which skills and competencies are worked out on an interdisciplinary basis are formed. Digital transformation meets the expectations of the generation Z, which in the coming decades will become economically active and will dominate in social and economic agenda. Digitalization, adaptive nature-like technologies, environmentally friendly energy resources, flexible horizontal network between market participants are already a post-COVID reality.

Authors: Gracheva M.
Published: June 2021

The article presents the results of the survey of the heads of structural divisions of German companies operating in Russia – on the outcome of their activity in 2020 and expectations for 2021. Top-managers indicate the deterioration of business climate in 2020 and express the pessimism in relation to the situation in 2021. Most of them define their current business position in Russia as satisfactory. The majority of them do not plan to attract additional labor force and to implement new investment projects in 2021. Respondents highlight three most acute current problems of the Russian market (ruble’s exchange rate, anti-pandemic measures, low economic activity), point to the deterioration of German-Russian relations in 2020. They consider Nord Stream 2 as an important contribution to ensuring energy supply to Europe and at the same time expect a decrease in the importance of Russia as an energy partner of the EU by 2050, assess the measures of the Russian government to support the economy during the coronacrisis period as insufficient and indicate the most promising business sectors and regions of the country.
