Three-Dimensional Arenas for the Assessment of Caenorhabditis elegans Behavior
Authors: Cardoza Steel , Tse Lai Yu Leo , Barton Kira , Gourgou Eleni
Published: September 2022

Caenorhabditis elegans nematode is a well-established model organism in numerous fields of experimental biology. In nature, C. elegans live in a rich three-dimensional (3D) environment. However, their behavior has been assessed almost exclusively on the open, flat surface of nematode growth medium (NGM) plates, the golden standard for C. elegans culture in the laboratory. We present two methods to build 3D behavioral arenas for C. elegans, by casting and by directly 3D-printing NGM hydrogel. The latter is achieved using a highly customized fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer, modified to employ NGM hydrogel as ink. The result is the advancement of 3D complexity of behavioral assays. To demonstrate the potential of our method, we use the 3D-printed arenas to assess C. elegans physical barriers crossing. C. elegans decision to cross physical obstacles is affected by aging, physiological status (i.e., starvation), and prior experience. The 3D-printed structures can be used to spatially confine C. elegans behaviors, that is, egg laying. We consider these findings a decisive step toward characterizing C. elegans 3D behavior, an area long overlooked due to technical constrains. We envision our method of 3D-printing NGM arenas as a powerful tool in behavioral neurogenetics, neuroethology, and invertebrate model organisms’ neurobiology.

Published: September 2022

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology is suitable for manufacturing personalized orthopedic implants for reconstruction surgery. Compared with traditional titanium, polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is the ideal material for 3DP orthopedic implants due to its various advantages, including thermoplasticity, thermal stability, high chemical stability, and radiolucency suitable elastic modulus. However, it is challenging to develop a well-designed method and manufacturing technique to meet the clinical needs because it requires elaborate details and interplays with clinical work. Furthermore, establishing surgical standards for new implants requires many clinical cases and an accumulation of surgical experience. Thus, there are few case reports on using 3DP PEEK implants in clinical practice. Herein, we formed a team with a lot of engineers, scientists, and doctors and conducted a series of studies on the 3DP PEEK implants for chest wall reconstruction. First, the thoracic surgeons sort out the specific types of chest wall defects. Then, the engineers designed the shape of the implant and performed finite element analysis for every implant. To meet the clinical needs and mechanical requirements of implants, we developed a new fused deposition modeling technology to make personalized PEEK implants. Overall, the thoracic surgeons have used 114 personalized 3DP PEEK implants to reconstruct the chest wall defect and further established the surgical standards of the implants as part of the Chinese clinical guidelines. The surface modification technique and composite process are developed to overcome the new clinical problems of implant-related complications after surgery. Finally, the major challenges and possible solutions to translating 3DP PEEK implants into a mature and prevalent clinical product are discussed in the paper
Salam As Banking Financing for Agriculture in Developing Countries: Lessons From Sudan
Authors: Mualley Salih Mustafa Ahmed , Moh'd Issa Salim
Published: September 2022

The objective of this study is to measure the impact of commercial bank financing via Salam mode of finance on the Sudanese agricultural production and determine whether the Salam mode is suitable for financing agriculture or not.  For the purpose of the analysis, the ordinary least squares method (OLS) was applied to a log - linear form of a simple regression model with a time series data on Sudan’s total annual agricultural production as a dependent variable and the commercial banks total annual financing via Salam for explanatory variable. The empirical results indicated that Salam mode of finance is appropriate for financing agriculture in Sudan due to its significant effects on agricultural production with a significant and positive relationship. In addition, agricultural sector highly contributed to the country economy during the study period and highly positively elastic to bank financing. However, it is hindered by heavy direct and indirect taxes, high marketing cost, long distance with poor rural infrastructure and weak agricultural returns. Therefore, relevant policy implications for both agriculture and bank financing are required. Hence, results of study suggest that banks should increase the provision for Salam mode for high agricultural production, reduce tax burdens, renovate the infrastructure, and facilitate financing procedures to agricultural sector.

Authors: Karsana Yusef Widya , Anggraini Francisca Reni Retno , Siswanto Fransiscus Asisi Joko
Published: September 2022

Research aims: The study aims to describe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) during the pandemic, ascertain the CSR motives, and analyze the relationship between these motives and the characteristics of social and green entrepreneurship.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was qualitative. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with the Indonesian Batik Lovers Group (IBLG) Sekar Jagad and in-depth interviews with Batik entrepreneurs. Research findings: Batik entrepreneurs can still survive with the help of IBLG Sekar Jagad, which continued to aid through collaboration with various government agencies. Batik entrepreneurs successfully survived by modifying the employee compensation model. Regarding the prevention of environmental pollution, they still use synthetic materials, but the use has been strictly controlled. In addition, their motive for continuing to carry out CSR activities is Batik preservation.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research provides an additional discussion on the motivation of MSMEs in CSR activities.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research provides information for the government to increase the awareness of Batik business actors to carry out CSR activities voluntarily. This study result can be used to develop MSMEs mentoring models to support social and green entrepreneurship achievement. Research limitation/Implication: The limitation of the study is that the study only involved three informants from the Batik enterprise actors, so the conclusions are only based on the interviews of these three informants.
Marco conceptual para la clasificación del gasto público en cambio climático en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Pizarro Rodrigo , Delgado Raúl , Eguino Huáscar , Pimenta Carlos
Published: September 2022

Para alinear el gasto público con las estrategias nacionales de cambio climático y con los compromisos de mitigación asumidos en referencia a las contribuciones determinadas a nivel nacional (NDC, por sus siglas en inglés), los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) necesitan identificar periódicamente los gastos presupuestarios relacionados con el clima, sean de incidencia positiva o negativa. En función del hecho de que todavía no existe una metodología consensuada a nivel internacional para identificar estos gastos, el objetivo de esta publicación es proponer un marco conceptual y orientaciones metodológicas para los países de ALC, que permitan la identificación, clasificación y evaluación del gasto público verde relacionado con el cambio climático, de forma integrada con los sistemas estadísticos vigentes. La metodología planteada es coherente con el Sistema de Cuentas Ambientales de Naciones Unidas (Naciones Unidas, 2008) y con la clasificación de funciones de gobierno presente en el Marco de Estadísticas de Finanzas Públicas (FMI, 2014), ambos reconocidos estándares estadísticos internacionales. La metodología apunta a usar una matriz de clasificación funcional de doble entrada, que atiende el propósito principal y secundario del gasto ligado al clima, y emplea un enfoque analítico de cuentas satélite. No se trata de un modelo único sino de definiciones metodológicas para que los países construyan sus propios sistemas de clasificación funcional presupuestaria relacionada con el cambio climático, efectúen un seguimiento permanente y sostenible de este tipo de gasto verde, y puedan así evaluar sus resultados e impactos, retroalimentando el proceso de formulación presupuestaria relacionado con el clima.
Preliminary Evidence of Surviving Competition: Neighborhood Shops vs. Convenience Chains
Authors: Talamas Marcos Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2022

Hundreds of millions of microenterprises in emerging economies face increased competition from the entry and expansion of large firms that offer similar products. This paper studies how one of the worlds most prevalent microenterprises, neighborhood shops, confront competition from convenience chains (e.g., 7-Eleven) in Mexico. To address the endogeneity in time and location of chains store openings, I pair two-way fixed effects with a novel instrument that, at the neighborhood level, shifts the profitability of chains but not of shops. An expansion from zero to the average number of chain stores in a neighborhood reduces the number of shops by 16%. Consistent with the theoretical framework, this reduction is not driven by an increase in shop exit but by a decrease in shop entry. Shops retain their sales of fresh products and 96% of their customers, but customers visit shops less often and spend less on non-fresh and packed goods. I present evidence consistent with shops surviving by exploiting comparative advantages stemming from being small and owner-operated, such as lower agency costs, building relationships with the community, and offering informal credit.

Ekumenizm radykalny: Papież Jan Paweł II i Włodzimierz Sołowjow
Authors: Rojek Paweł
Published: September 2022

Istnieje wiele świadectw, że Jan Paweł II wysoko cenił myśl Włodzimierza Sołowjowa. W 2000 r. papież wspominał o nim jako o „świadku wiary” , „wybitnym chrześcijańskim myślicielu” i „człowieku niezwykłej głębi”. W tym artykule próbuję przedstawić analizę niektórych podobieństw między tymi dwoma myślicielami. Po pierwsze, jak dostrzegało to wielu komentatorów, podzielali oni wspólną wizję zjednoczenie Kościołów katolickiego i prawosławnego. Po drugie, co wydaje mi się ważniejsze, mieli takie samo teologiczne rozumienie człowieka, świata i historii. Sądzę, że ta wspólna chrystocentryczna wizja jest nie tylko ostateczną podstawą  wysiłków ekumenicznych, lecz także gruntem dla sformułowania prawdziwie chrześcijańskiej alternatywy dla świeckiej nowoczesności.
Zmysł dotyku w literackich reprezentacjach Nikołaja Leskowa
Authors: Trojanowska Beata
Published: September 2022

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie zmysłu dotyku w świecie przedstawionym wybranych tekstów prozatorskich rosyjskiego pisarza doby realizmu – Mikołaja Leskowa, jak również określenie reprezentatywnej dla ich haptyczności poetyki. W artykule zostały opisane wrażenia dotykowe, zarówno aktywne – gdy to Leskowowscy bohaterowie stają inicjatorami zwrotu haptycznego, jak i bierne – gdy to postaci są dotykane. Analiza wybranych tekstów pozwala na sformułowanie wniosku, iż poznanie haptyczne w przypadku analizowanych tekstów Leskowa jest głęboko osadzone w poetyce realizmu. Uwzględnienie jednak kontekstów kulturowych, zarówno ludowo-mitologicznych, jak i religijnych ujawnia ich ścisłe powiązanie z poetyką romantyczną. Pisarz w opisie sfery tykalnej swych bohaterów w sposób płynny przechodzi od materii do duchowości, magii, mistyki, łączy elementy gatunków ludowych z literaturą hagiograficzną. Leskowowska prezentacja zmysłu dotyku pokazuje potrzebę współistnienia i równowagi w człowieku zarówno poznania haptycznego materialnego, jak i poznania haptycznego „duchowego”.  Nie bez znaczenia pozostaje także interpretacja haptyczności głównych bohaterów przez otoczenie, która ujawnia różnorodną optykę rosyjskiego społeczeństwa i staje się dodatkowym elementem jego charakterystyki.
Идейные истоки литературного движения «Скифов» (от Владимира Соловьева к Александру Блоку)
Authors: Kirichenko Oleg
Published: September 2022

Скифская идеология выросла из двух источников: софиологии Владимира Соловьева, адаптированной Александром Блоком к революционному стандарту «антихристианского апокалипсиса», и идей Разумника Иванова-Разумника, опиравшегося на мнения западников Петра Чаадаева и Александрa Герценa. Для Блока скифство стало формой выражения его антихристианских, ницшеанских идей, долго зревших под прикрытием его софиинизма. Революция позволила ему открыто выразить их и привлечь внимание основателя скифского литературного течения. Радикализм Блока позволил включить скифство в партийную жизнь левых эсеров, придав движению новый характер и новые ориентиры, связанные с мировой революцией на небольшевистский лад.
Звезда, свастика, крест: Идеологические и нравственные коллизии в военной прозе Бориса Ширяева
Authors: Lyubomudrov Alexei
Published: September 2022

Рассматриваются нравственные коллизии повестей писателя русского зарубежья Бориса Ширяева (1889-1959) Овечья лужа и Кудеяров дуб, посвященных жизни народа на оккупированной нацистами территории. Цель работы – исследовать конфликт между христианской моралью, патриотизмом и тоталитарным государством. Узловые сюжетные линии своих книг прозаик связывает с болевыми точками истории: коллаборционизм, партизанское движение, подпольные советские и антибольшевистские организации. Творчество Ширяева может служить исторической иллюстрацией того, как противостояние в расколотом революцией народе вылилось в беспощадную гражданскую войну, развернувшуюся внутри войны мировой. Исследуются также аспекты художественного мировоззрения Ширяева, показаны точки соприкосновения и отталкивания его «русского христианства» и евангельского вероучения. Проанализирован важный для автора мотив «святой мести» и его связь с фольклорной легендой о Кудеяре.
„Nie potrzebuje zdrowy lekarstwa, rzecz dobra zaś – naprawy”. Pamflet Herasyma Smotryckiego Kalendarz rzymski nowy (1587)
Authors: Hodana Tomasz
Published: September 2022

Artykuł prezentuje jeden z najwcześniejszych przykładów prawosławnego piśmiennictwa polemicznego epoki unii brzeskiej – Kalendarz rzymski nowy Herasyma Smotryckiego. Utwór ten ukazał się drukiem w zbiorze tekstów tegoż autora, znanym powszechnie jako Klucz królestwa niebieskiego (1587), i jest uznawany za pierwszy w historii literatury ukraińskiej pamflet. W charakterystyczny dla wypowiedzi satyrycznej sposób Smotrycki komentuje reformę kalendarzową Grzegorza XIII (1582), prezentując jednocześnie stanowisko Kościoła wschodniego. Nie wdając się w dyskusje na temat naukowych podstaw reformy, opisuje jej społeczne konsekwencje na ziemiach ruskich Rzeczypospolitej, zamieszkałych przez ludność prawosławną, i przedstawia ośmieszającą krytykę katolickiego dyskursu jedności. Jego dzieło, napisane w przystępnej i atrakcyjnej dla ruskiego czytelnika formie oraz zrozumiałym dla niego językiem, jest przykładem udanego wykorzystania metod perswazji i argumentacji stosowanych w zachodnioeuropejskiej publicystyce religijnej doby reformacji i kontrreformacji.
Біблійний Cаул в інтерпретації Лесі Українки
Authors: Zhvania Liudmyla
Published: September 2022

Ця стаття є спробою зрозуміти суть авторської інтерпретації художнього образу Саула. Пошук глибинних смислів, закодованих у поемі Лесі Українки, здійснювався з урахуванням біблійного та історичного контексту. Відзначається, що створений автором образ глибоко трагічний. Саул, який втратив зв'язок з Богом і намагається відновити свою внутрішню цілісність за допомогою мистецтва, розглядається як символ fin de siècle. Підкреслено низку характерних рис, що наближають царя-пророка до героя-декадента у версії Лесі Українки: відчуженість від зовнішнього світу та зосередженість на внутрішньому, вразлива психіка, танатологічні пориви. При цьому внутрішній світ Саула сповнений протиріч: відчай і передчуття смерті породжують меланхолію, гнів і бажання вбити Давида, що не заважає царю відчувати батьківську любов до свого суперника і нового обранця. від Бога. Музика у творі – це Божественна сила, яка здатна відновити втрачену цілісність і зв'язок із священним царством.

Authors: Prestes Rosi Maria , Boff Eva Teresinha de Oliveira
Published: September 2022

Em várias frentes do conhecimento nasce uma concepção sistêmica, na qual o todo não é redutível às partes, assim como a soma das partes não garante o entendimento do todo (MORIN, 2000), e é na pesquisa qualitativa baseada em Bogdan e Bicklen (1994) e Lüdke; André (1986) que busca-se o enfrentamento da visão fragmentada de ensino. Trata-se de 16 projetos de aprendizagem desenvolvidos por professores de quatro escolas de quatro municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, vinculados ao Programa “A União Faz a Vida” –PUFV. Para este artigo foi escolhido o projeto denominado “Mais que esporte: educação” para análise dos conteúdos disciplinares, os quais foram desenvolvidos de modo articulado ao tema do projeto, sob responsabilidade da área de Ciências da natureza. Para embasamento da proposta elencada, busca-se respaldo em autores como Morin (2000, 2003), Sacristán (2000, 2013), Fazenda (2005), Hernández; Ventura (2017), entre outros. Os projetos de aprendizagem representam uma alternativa possível na interligação dos conteúdos escolares com seus respectivos temas, envolvendo os alunos e a comunidade escolar, permitindo uma melhor aprendizagem aos educandos.

Authors: Ferreira Karolaine Pacheco , Genovese Cinthia Leticia De Carvalho Roversi
Published: September 2022

Esta pesquisa tem por finalidade elucidar os desafios de mulheres cientistas e discutir a importância do papel feminino na Ciência. Realiza-se, então, uma investigação qualitativa, que utiliza a pesquisa bibliográfica como meio de obtenção de dados. Diante disso, verifica-se que o percurso da mulher na Ciência, em especial o de Marie Curie foi marcado por grandes dificuldades. Esta reconhecida cientista é um exemplo de que durante séculos as mulheres foram privadas de estudar, e tiveram que lidar com os mais variados empecilhos que surgiram e ainda surgem em seus caminhos. Marie Curie teve que lutar com muita competência e determinação para dar continuidade à sua carreira científica, ao ter que lidar com o preconceito e o descrédito. Dessa forma, impõe-se a constatação de que as jornadas das mulheres na Ciência foram árduas, penosas e exigiu delas não apenas inteligência, mas também coragem para enfrentar os obstáculos de gênero.

Authors: Moradi E , Pourbairamian Gh , Ramezani Gh , Sohrabi Z , Aalaa M , Norouzi A
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Educational programs need to be evaluated in order to achieve educational goals, improve quality and maintain dynamics. Regardless of the type of evaluation, in every evaluation there is a possibility of bias in the evaluator's decisions. Therefore, meta-evaluation is necessary. The purpose of this research is to Meta-evaluate the PhD program in the field of medical education in Iran University of Medical Sciences, using the Stufflebeam meta-evaluation scale.
Method: This study is a cross-sectional research using Stufflebeam's meta-evaluation checklist, which includes four standards. The utility standard had 7 indicators, feasibility, 3 indicators, propriety 8 indicators, accuracy had 12 indicators, and each of which was checked separately.
Results: The results indicated that the highest overall score was related to the accuracy and the lowest was assigned to the practicality and ethical issues. The highest amount of evaluation power was related to the feasibility standard and the lowest was related to the propriety standard. In the final review of four meta-evaluation indicators, it is clear that the status of the feasibility standard is very good and the moral standard indicator is average. The standards of usefulness and accuracy are also in good condition.
Conclusion: Taking into account of the scores, it seems that the focus should be on training the evaluators and the topic of evaluation to improve the current circumstance. Moreover, maintaining the standards with high score is important. However, more attention should be paid to ethical issues in evaluation, such as making agreements between the evaluator and the evaluation client.
