Assessment of diabetes-specific knowledge and its determinants among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and their primary caregivers: Experience from a tertiary care center in North India
Authors: Maheshwari Rimjhim , Singh Preeti , Seth Anju , Malhotra Rajeev Kumar
Published: October 2024

Objectives

Assessment of diabetes-specific knowledge among children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their caregivers using a validated diabetes knowledge test (DKT) and to determine the factors associated with DKT score.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital, New Delhi (India). Children 5–18 years with T1D and caregivers were evaluated using a validated DKT tool to assess knowledge in basic and advance domains. The factors associated with DKT scores were studied.

Results

A total of 110 T1D children with mean (SD) age 12.2 (3.3) years and duration 5.3 (2.7) years were assessed. The mean (SD) composite DKT score (%) was 58.0 (11.1) while in basic and advance domains were 66.4 (9.5) and 50.4(1.5), respectively. Maternal education (≥graduate), socio-economic strata (≥upper middle), annual per capita income (>Rs 50,000/700 USD), urban setting and HbA1c<8.5 % were significantly associated with higher odds of DKT score>50 %. HbA1c<8.5 % and urban setting were significant predictors of the DKT score on multivariate logistic regression analysis (p<0.001).

Conclusions

DKT can identify individual challenges in specific (basic or advance) domains related to diabetes self-management skills. Higher maternal education significantly impacted achieving a high DKT score and improved glycemic control.
Prior Art: Forensic Evidence of Musical Originality in Copyright Litigation
Authors: Leo Katherine M.
Published: October 2024

Evaluations of musical originality are essential to federal copyright infringement litigation. As a primary requirement for copyrightability, originality serves to distinguish commonalities from similarities indicative of copying. Parties to a lawsuit typically hire expert witnesses to aid these forensic assessments. In addition to detailed musical comparisons, experts can curate repertories of pre-existing songs external to the lawsuit, increasingly known as “prior art,” to contextualize putative similarities in a lawsuit as more or less likely to be a result of independent creation as opposed to copying. Although seemingly indispensable to legal decision-making processes, the methods and outcomes of prior art analysis remain unregulated and largely undiscussed outside of legal scholarship. Analysis of historical and recent music copyright lawsuits demonstrates that prior art has come to be applied as a proxy measure to appraise the otherwise abstract legal principle of originality. Borrowed from patent law, use of the term prior art in copyright law invokes notions of creation that comes before. To select prior art, experts conduct style and genre analysis to distinguish between musical conventions resulting from technical or historical constraints and innovations specific to the creators involved in a lawsuit. These elements serve as evidence of creative process by which courts may then value the relative originality of an implicated musical passage. The increasingly critical influence of prior art as part of forensic musicological analysis on recent case outcomes presents an urgent need to open cross-disciplinary dialogue about methods of assessing musical originality and creativity, and ultimately, appraisals of music as intellectual property.
Throwing off the Russian Lenses from Soviet Music: The Colonization and Decolonization of Georgian and Ukrainian Music
Authors: Sharikadze Nana , Sigua Maia , Schmelz Peter J.
Published: October 2024

Using selected case studies from Georgia and Ukraine—two countries linked by recent Russian aggression—this article outlines theoretical and practical approaches to understanding questions of coloniality, decoloniality, and representations of changing national identities in Soviet and post-Soviet art music. This article situates for the first time the experimental activity in both the Georgian SSR and Ukrainian SSR in the 1960s as an incipient decolonizing movement that laid the foundations for stylistic explorations and overt expressions of national identity by composers such as Natela Svanidze, Teimuraz Bakuradze, and Mikheil Shugliashvili in Georgia and Valentyn Sylvestrov and Leonid Hrabovsky in Ukraine. This early experimentation carried over into the 1990s and the first decades of the new millennium as both Georgia and Ukraine wrestled with establishing distinctive post-Soviet politics and cultures against the backdrop of their halting vectors away from centralized Soviet oversight. One of the article’s central arguments is that by examining the specific ways in which music in the USSR—and especially musical Socialist Realism—was used to articulate and enforce an imperial identity, we can reveal the USSR as a colonialist enterprise more clearly than by investigating its geopolitical maneuvering alone.
The Global Tonnetz
Authors: Walden Daniel K. S.
Published: October 2024

This article examines how the Tonnetz, widely considered the emblematic diagram of “Western” music theory, emerged in its modern form from a global network of scholars spanning Japan, Germany, and India. Part one consists of four microhistories of transnational connection. The first two focus on Tanaka Shōhei’s 1890 presentation of the Tonnetz as representative of a “mutually civilizing” discourse between Germany and Japan, and Hugo Riemann’s adaptations of Tanaka’s diagram in re-centering Germany’s musicological status. The second two focus on G. S. Khare’s use of the Tonnetz in 1918 to bolster claims of Indian “priority” in the development of tonality, and the influence of Khare’s associates on Tanaka’s later efforts to bolster a Pan-Asianist narrative that cast Japan as the last bastion of an uncolonized Asian spirit. Part two applies a macrohistorical lens in analyzing how these Tonnetze played a constitutive role in the development of musical modernity, which I interpret as an emergent phenomenon of global processes of integration by building on the work of Sebastian Conrad and Sanjay Subhramanyam. Each of these Tonnetze is thus a “global Tonnetz,” stemming from the drive of each nation to participate in the construction of musical modernity on a global stage. I conclude by acknowledging tensions between my histories of connection and integration, as the former traces threads of causality while the latter embraces emergence. I nevertheless argue in favor of a framework of historical duality that can hold both approaches simultaenously when dealing with global phenomena.

Published: October 2024

Flunitrazepam and ethanol are frequently involved in crimes, although studies investigating the effects of pretreatment with both substances on the attractiveness of vertebrate carcasses to necrophagous insects are scarce. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of ethanol, flunitrazepam and its combined action on the composition and structure of assemblies of visiting dipterans, as well as on the succession pattern of cadaverous fauna that can assist on forensic investigations. For that, 32 female Wistar rats were equally divided into groups: water (control), ethanol (21 days, only source of fluids), flunitrazepam (single dose, oral route, 2 mg/Kg) and ethanol (21 days, only source of fluids) plus flunitrazepam (single dose, 2 mg/Kg). Animals carcasses were placed in 32 traps set within a protected area and the visiting insects were monitored and collected for five consecutive days. A total of 3,165 necrophagous dipteran from the families Calliphoridae (61.7%), Fanniidae (10.5%), Sarcophagidae (10.4%), Anthomyiidae (4.0%), Muscidae (2.2%), Phoridae (0.9%) were collected. The highest rate of insect’s attraction was observed in the ethanol plus flunitrazepam combined treatment (44.3% of specimens), compared with the ethanol (20.8%) and flunitrazepam (15.0%) treatments, and control groups (19.7%). The composition and structure of the assemblies are more similar in carcasses with ethanol. Besides, the presence of ethanol and combined treatment altered the pattern of insect’s succession. These results indicate that the combined use of both rape-related substances increases the attractiveness of carcasses for insects, which could be a crucial entomological signal found in criminal investigations.
Aplicação da Triagem Virtual no planejamento de teste colorimétrico para identificação preliminar de canabinoides sintéticos
Authors: MACEDO RENNEDY , ALENCAR WAGNER , COSTA KAUÊ , GODOY ROBERTA
Published: October 2024

Os canabinóides sintéticos constituem um grupo de Novas Substâncias Psicoativas (NSP) que mimetizam os efeitos da Cannabis sativa, pois atuam nos mesmos receptores canabinoides. Atualmente representam o terceiro maior grupo de NSP. A constatação preliminar dessas drogas têm sido um verdadeiro desafio para os Laboratórios Forenses. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho utiliza a técnica de Triagem Virtual baseada em ligantes para direcionar a seleção de moléculas com potencial atividade colorimétrica, aprimorando o processo de busca de um teste de cor eficiente e que contemplem a identificação da maioria de canabinoides sintéticos, além de tratar-se de uma alternativa que requer menores esforços financeiros, infraestrutura e tempo envolvido na descoberta. Para isso, foram selecionados o 4-dimetilaminobenzaldeído e o 2,4-dinitrofenilhidrazina, como compostos químicos de referência para filtragem molecular em banco de dados químicos, obtendo, respectivamente, 13 e 20 estruturas distintas entre si. Essas substâncias foram submetidas a metodologias de comparação por similaridade molecular: a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) e a Cluster Analysis, que utilizam características moleculares específicas dos compostos de referência, comparando-os com os correspondentes descritores das moléculas da base de dados, servindo-se de uma medida de similaridade química. Assim, foi possível apontar compostos com maior grau de similaridade aos compostos de referência, indicando candidatos promissores à identificação preliminar de canabinoides sintéticos.

Published: October 2024

Background: Survival rates following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) show variability across studies, particularly regarding sex-specific outcomes. Relative survival analysis, which considers survival patterns in sex- and age-matched general populations, could help explain this variability. Methods: In a 2011 nationwide South Korean PCI cohort study with 48,783 patients, all-cause death was assessed as the primary outcome over 5 years. Observed and relative survival rates at 5 years conditional on surviving 0 days, 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years were assessed. Sex-specific differences in clinical characteristics were adjusted using propensity score-matching. Results: In the unadjusted analyses, 15,710 females had more cardiovascular risk factors than 33,073 males. Both observed survival (HR 1.28; 95% CI [1.22–1.34]) and relative survival (HR 1.21; 95% CI [1.16–1.27]) were lower in females than males (all p<0.001). In the analyses of 14,454 matched pairs, females showed higher observed survival (HR 0.78; 95% CI [0.74–0.82]), but lower relative survival (HR 1.19; 95% CI [1.13–1.26]), compared to males (all p<0.001). This trend was particularly notable in females aged 60 years or older. These findings persisted in analyses conditional on surviving 30 days, 1 year and 2 years. Conclusion: The adjusted 5-year relative survival of older females was lower than that of age-matched males, highlighting the need for the excessive risk reduction in older females undergoing PCI.

Tug’o War: Vietnam’s Strategy for Great Powers in Southeast Asia
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Kratiuk Barbara
Published: October 2024

This paper will answer the question of the viability of Vietnam’s strategy for survival. How sustainable is the enmeshment and balancing strategy? Due to its geopolitical position, Vietnam has found itself on a precipice: almost all significant and regional powers find themselves seeking a partnership with Vietnam. Vietnam has also pursued these partnerships, hoping to stabilize and strengthen the state’s position. It is all the more important due to rising tensions in the South China Sea. Independence and survival are overreaching themes of Vietnamese foreign policy. The main strategy is for great and regional powers to balance each other out in the region, allowing Vietnam the greatest possible decision-making freedom. There is however a question of the viability of that balancing strategy. Certain strategic partnerships, like those with India, Japan, or the US, have been developed, but only to a degree, and their viability has yet to be tested. It is possible that this course of action, calculated to balance China’s influence in the region, might backfire in the end, returning the region to the Chinese sphere of influence as predicted by David Kang.
Postawa Amerykanów wobec Komunistycznej Partii Chin (1944–1946)
Authors:   Akademia Ekonomiczno-Humanistyczna w Warszawie, Kukowski Mikołaj
Published: October 2024

The article represents the first part of a comprehensive scientific endeavor dedicated to the description and analysis of the attitudes held by high-ranking US officials towards the Chinese Communist Party from 1944 to 1949. This initial segment focuses on the period from July 1944, marking the commencement of the so-called "Dixie mission" in China, to the conclusion of March 1946, coinciding with the country's outbreak of the civil war. Within this framework, the article presents, analyzes, and underscores the diversity and changeability of American perspectives and opinions regarding the CCP. It explores their ideas, actions, and connections with Soviet Russia. A particular emphasis is placed on elucidating the alterations in these opinions over time. The central hypothesis posits that the shifts in attitudes were driven by changes in both the internal and external environments, encompassing developments within China and the global context. Furthermore, it attributes alterations to American interactions with CCP and KMT officials, leading to modifications in their identities. The article employs a constructivist approach, alongside a realist perspective, in researching international relations throughout the text.
The Magician in the Siege Perilous: Comments on Pervez Hoodbhoy’s New Book. Book Review: Pervez Hoodbhoy, Pakistan: Origins, Identity, and Future, Routledge 2023
Authors:   Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Flasiński Tomasz
Published: October 2024

The book under review is a collection of essays analyzing Pakistan’s past, attempting to reevaluate it in a critical, myth-debunking way, and describing the country’s present state while formulating some prescriptions for the future. Many parts of the book reveal the author’s deep insight, showing the fallacies of the official discourse in Pakistan. However, Hoodbhoy’s discourse is often flawed by his disdain for religion, resulting in shallow and biased (if not simply wrong) analyses of Islamic-based thought, and by his inability to reconcile his commitment to modernism as a foundation of good politics with democratic principles.
Experimental investigation of the retrograde development of hydraulic jumps
Authors: Fu Shihao , Xu Weilin , Wei Wangru , Ma Yuchen
Published: October 2024

Hydraulic jumps frequently occur in natural river channels, impeding the movement of gravel particles within water flow. The sediment deposited in the jump region forms a sedimentary bar that moves upstream, pushing against the hydraulic jump and causing surges in upstream water levels that could potentially result in flood disasters. Hydraulic conditions and particle properties are pivotal in the hydraulic jump process. In this study, the impacts of these factors on the retrograde velocity of hydraulic jumps were investigated through experimental model tests. The retrograde movement of hydraulic jumps was captured using a high-definition camera and data acquisition system, enabling the systematic analysis of quantitative relationships between hydraulic conditions, particle properties and retrograde velocity. Several significant factors that contribute to an increase in retrograde velocity were identified: an elevated ratio of upstream to downstream Froude numbers, a reduction in inflow discharge, an increase in particle size and intensified sediment supply. A simple empirical formula for calculating hydraulic jump retrograde velocity was developed, offering crucial insights into water–sand interactions in diverse water flows. These findings are indispensable for mitigating flash floods and sediment disasters in mountainous regions.
Migráció és a bűnözés viszonya a külföldiek által Németországban elkövetett bűncselekmények tendenciái alapján – 2. rész
Authors: Ritecz György
Published: October 2024

A félévtizedes távolság lehetővé teszi, hogy az adatok alapján, a politikai és média megközelítésétõl eltérő, az objektív valóságot hitelesebben bemutató vizsgálat eredményeképpen mutassuk be, hogy a 2015 tömeges irreguláris migráció hogyan hatott Németország bűnügyi helyzetére, pontosabban a bűnügyi adatokra. Összességében megállapítható, hogy bár hatással volt arra, de alapvetően az ún. idegenrendészeti vétségek okán. Az irreguláris migrációhoz közvetlenül kapcsolódó (jogosulatlan belépés, illetve tartózkodás) cselekmények azonban közvetlen módon nem veszélyeztették a német, illetve a Németországban tartózkodó polgárok élet- és vagyonbiztonságát, testi (lelki) épségét. A nemzetközi mozgás (migráció és turizmus) intenzív növekedése ellenére a bűncselekmények száma egyértelműen csökkenő tendenciát mutat.

In this article we present the analysis of experience conducted with students of the third year in the Bachelor of Preschool Education at the Seville University, in the framework of the subjetc “Knowledge of the Social environment”. This experience it outlines the preservice teacher the challenge of designing and realizing a corner of work whose central thematic turn around history, with a triple objective: offer students the possibility to become aware of their own learning by linking theory and practice, cause a change in the notion that future teachers have on history teaching in early childhood education and contribute to the determination of a personal teaching model based on the school research. Both the teacher and the students daily and reports produced by these last, become the main instruments for analysis. The results indicate that the experience has enabled a change in conceptions of the students about the educational value of history, in the same way that favoured the development of skills and abilities for the design of proposals which incorporate some of the considered most appropriate strategies for the teaching of the history the smaller. However, results have shown that preservice teachers are still attached to the traditional teaching model and have a poor mastery of content, making it necessary to delve into the epistemology of the discipline and continue working in alternative education models.
Imágenes sobre la educación para la ciudadanía en la formación inicial del profesorado
Authors: Estelles Frade Marta
Published: October 2024

Although in the past decades a lot has been written about citizenship education, at least in Spain little is known about how pre-service teachers are formed to educate for citizenship. In recent years we have tried to cover this gap with a line of research that to date has focused on the teacher educators of the Primary Education Degree at the University of Cantabria. After gathering their verbal rationalizations about political life and citizenship education through semi-structured interviews, we realized that we needed to go beyond this level of analysis and use new research techniques to delve into the tacit perceptions of the teachers, since they cannot be considered as the mere product of deliberate mental exercises. Hence, we chose to examine certain language tropes less subject to conscious control like metaphors, taking advantage of the recent contributions of cognitive science and neuroscience about the automatic thinking (Kahneman, 2012) and its influence on our political decisions (Haidt, 2012; Lakoff, 2008). This look at the data allowed us to detect allegories such as “citizens as plants”, “citizenship as motor” and “democracy as a goal” that outline an idealized narrative about citizenship education.
Accediendo al pasado: creencias epistémicas acerca de la Historia en futuros profesores de Ciencias Sociales.
Authors: Miguel-Revilla Diego , Carril María Teresa , Sánchez-Agustí María
Published: October 2024

Studies published in the last decades show that epistemic beliefs about history can strongly influence the way in which the past is approached and addressed in the classrooms. From this point of view, it is essential to understand how pre-service teachers perceive this discipline, as well as whether their academic background in history has influenced their perceptions and beliefs regarding this subject. By establishing the hypothesis that history education can help develop a more nuanced and coherent conception regarding this area of knowledge, this study makes a comparison between epistemological beliefs found in secondary and primary education trainee teachers. By making use of a quantitative approach, the present study presents a Spanish translation of the BHQ (Beliefs about History Questionnaire), developed by Maggioni and VanSledright, which has been applied to a total of 177 prospective teachers. After categorising the participants in three different stances (copier, borrower and criterialist), results show that pre-service secondary education teachers manifest significantly more intricate conceptions about history than their primary education counterparts, favouring a criterialist stance over the other two. At the same time, the consistency of the answers are shown to be significantly higher for secondary education trainee teachers. It can be concluded that historical education plays an important role in influencing teachers’ epistemic beliefs, and that, consequently, initial teacher training should help prospective teachers reflect on these issues by putting its focus on them.
Valoración del potencial didáctico de los temas socialmente controvertidos en la formación inicial docente

Published: October 2024

Socially controversial issues are presented as an optimal resource for working on different skills in the subject of social sciences, especially with a view to developing the citizenship competence. This study explores, precisely, the value that teachers in initial training attribute to them. A total of 239 students of the Primary Education Degree of the University of the Basque Country participated, 177 in the experimental group and 122 in the control group. The data were collected through an 8-item questionnaire, with Likert response format. The results have shown small changes in the value that trainee teachers give to the use of controversial issues to teach social sciences and history in primary school. In conclusion, we consider it necessary to include these topics in the future teacher’s training programs, as a way to break with the traditional epistemological conceptions with which they arrive at university education.
Infraestructuras sociales e institucionales para la paz en Colombia. Una revisión de la literatura
Authors:   Universidad de Antioquia, Hurtado Galeano Deicy Patricia
Published: October 2024

En este artículo se hace un análisis crítico de la literatura sobre infraestructuras institucionales y sociales de paz. Se trata de un estado del arte como modalidad de la investigación documental que revisa la literatura producida en y sobre Colombia desde el año 2000. Se aborda la literatura canónica que tiene como punto de partida los planteamientos de Jean Paul Lederach, se revisan algunos casos colombianos que han sido analizados a partir de esta categoría y se construye un enfoque de infraestructura de paz complejo, contingente y situado que permite examinar actores, instancias y procesos que, articulados en distintas escalas territoriales, buscan comprender los conflictos generados por una guerra prolongada y un modelo de desarrollo que han reproducido históricamente disparidades y exclusiones socioeconómicas, culturales y políticas, a la vez que se comprometen con aportar a su transformación. Se concluye que las infraestructuras de paz territorial no pueden obedecer al intervencionismo de las entidades internacionales, sino que deben afincarse en formas de solidaridad, capacidad de agencia y prácticas de resistencia locales que interactúan con las instituciones de manera horizontal, reconfigurando relaciones asimétricas de poder que han legitimado las violencias.
Disputar derechos en el espacio público. La organización de trabajadores feriantes de la economía popular en Olavarría, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina

Published: October 2024

En este artículo se analiza la experiencia de organización de trabajadores feriantes del Movimiento de Trabajadores Excluidos (MTE) en Olavarría, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, en el contexto del conflicto por el derecho al trabajo que involucra a este grupo y al Gobierno municipal. Se señala que dicha experiencia de la economía popular habilita un renovado proceso de repolitización popular del espacio que tensiona modos socialmente legítimos de apropiación espacial y vislumbra la incidencia del espacio público como recurso vinculado al sostenimiento de la vida, por el cual se convierte en espacio de lucha. El desarrollo del argumento se apoya, principalmente, en las contribuciones teóricas que conciben al espacio desde su carácter disputado y relacional, y en aportes recientes que han problematizado la relación entre las dinámicas de la economía popular y del espacio urbano. Desde un enfoque etnográfico, el artículo constituye un aporte a los debates sobre organizaciones sociales y la comprensión espacial de procesos sociales y políticos populares emergentes en los últimos años que han cobrado fuerza a escalas locales.

Metodología: Estudio descriptivo transversal tipo encuesta. Se efectuaron 42 encuestas a cuidadores (todos familiares) de menores de 18 años con diagnóstico presuntivo o confirmado de cáncer. La encuesta contenía 55 preguntas validadas mediante prueba piloto. La recolección de información fue entre los meses de junio y agosto de 2023. Resultados: Se identificaron 13 hogares de paso. La totalidad de las familias pertenecía a los estratos socioeconómicos 1 y 2, y la mayoría empleaba más de tres horas para llegar al hogar de paso desde su lugar de procedencia (97,6 %). El 85 % reportó ingresos menores al salario mínimo y el 62 % de las familias contaba con algún subsidio del Gobierno. Un gran porcentaje de los menores (93 %) pertenecía al régimen de salud subsidiado por el Estado. El 71,4 % recibía atención en una sola institución de salud, en su mayoría remitidos al hogar de paso por el hospital (83,3 %), siendo la razón principal de uso del hogar no disponer de un hospedaje en la ciudad de tratamiento. Solo una familia había abandonado alguna vez el tratamiento. El 71,4 % no se encontraba estudiando. Conclusión: Las condiciones sociodemográficas de las familias de niños y adolescentes con cáncer que requieren un alojamiento temporal están enmarcadas en recursos financieros limitados y residencias distantes de los centros oncológicos, situación que desafía la continuidad del tratamiento y evidencia la importancia del apoyo social brindado por los hogares de paso

Authors: Tan Hakan
Published: October 2024

İyi, mutlu, adil, eşitlikçi, hakkaniyetli, özgür ve refah bir siyasal toplum için sadece siyasal sistemi oluşturan siyasal parti ve siyasal liderin özellikleri değil aynı zamanda politik öznelerin de sahip olduğu nitelik ve özellikler ile politik öznelerin kendileri nasıl, ne ve hangi şekilde ifade ettikleri ile eylemleri de önemlidir. Tin, politik özne, öznel ve nesnel oluş süreçlerinden geçerek, sahip olduğu sosyal, siyasal ve kültürel birikimler ile kendini ifade eden düşünceler, ideolojiler, eylem ve nesneler, olaylar ve imgeler üretir ve yeni, dijital ve sosyal medyada paylaşır, etkileşir ve işbirliği içerisine girer. Çalışma, politik öznenin sosyal medyada sahip olması gereken yetenek, kapasite ve özellikleri anlamayı, açıklamayı, incelemeyi ve çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada betimsel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre politik öznenin bilmeye cesaret etmesi, doğru ve hakikati ifade etmesi, eleştirel düşünceye sahip olması ve siyasal sistemi kurgulayabilmek için gerekli olan bilgi, yetenek ve kapasitelere sahip olması siyasal sistemi etkilemekte, değiştirmekte, dönüştürmekte ve biçimlendirmektedir. Çalışmada diğer öne çıkan olgu ise popülist sestir. Popülist ses, sosyal medyada gerek popülist siyasal aktörlerin gerekse de belirli beklenti içinde olan özel grup ve toplulukların amaç, beklenti, arzu ve isteklerinin gerçekleşmesi için siyasal aktör, uzman, kanaat lideri ile influencer, YouTuber, TikToker, fenomen, demagog, Bot, trol ve ikna makinelerinin (botlar) devreye sokulmasıdır. Araştırma politik öznenin yeni ve sosyal medyada sahip olması gereken yetenek, kapasite, nitelik ve özellikleri göstermesi açısından önemlidir.

O presente estudo se dedica à uma articulação entre a Pedagogia da Diferença, a adoção de tecnologias digitais e a educação ofertada aos estudantes com o Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). O autismo é um transtorno do desenvolvimento que afeta a comunicação, interação social e comportamento. Analisamos essa articulação a partir de uma investigação de natureza qualitativa, pautada na revisão bibliográfica. Nossa questão de pesquisa indaga como as novas tecnologias, alicerçadas à Pedagogia da Diferença, podem contribuir para um ensino mais inclusivo e calcado nas identidades dos estudantes autistas? Nossos resultados indicam a carência de estudos nessa temática. Contudo, as investigações já realizadas indicam a importância da formação continuada, modernização das estruturas das instituições de ensino, construção de materiais, softwares e aplicativos para dispositivos móveis, pautados em uma aprendizagem mais significativa e interativa para os estudantes autistas.

Background. Maize (Zea mays L.) is an annual plant of the Poaceae family, one of the world's most important cereal crops, which is the basis for food supply in many countries. Viral diseases of maize are one of the reasons for its yield losses and grain quality reduction. The aim of the work was to identify and determine the spread of maize viruses in different regions of Ukraine in 2021–2023. Methods. Double or tripple antibody sandwich (DAS or TAS) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for detection of 11 viruses including maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV), High Plains wheat mosaic virus (HPWMoV), sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV), maize streak virus (MSV), maize mosaic virus (MMV), maize white line mosaic virus (MWLMV), wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV), and brome mosaic virus (BMV). For ELISA, commercial test systems were used (Loewe Biochemica (Germany) and Agdia (USA). Results. ELISA confirmed the presence of SCMV in agrocenoses in Kyiv region (35 % of symptomatic plants) and BYDVPAV in maize samples collected in Vinnytsia (4.3 %) and Kyiv (8 %) regions. Overall occurrence of SCMV and BYDV-PAV in tested symptomatic maize plants was 197 % and 6 %, correspondingly. It should be noted that the plants infected with SCMV had different symptoms in the form of a mottle or stripe mosaic. Although maize plants sampled in the Kharkiv region showed clear symptoms of virus infection, none of the tested viruses were identified. Conclusions. The circulation of SCMV and BYDV-PAVin maize plants was confirmed in Ukrainian agrocenoses in 2021- 2023, and this is the first report of BYDV-PAVin maize in Ukraine. The necessity of expanding the list of viruses under investigation on Zea mays in Ukraine is shown.

B a c k g r o u n d . The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) has caused significant global morbidity and mortality in various countries of the world, including Ukraine. The severity of the course of the 2019 coronavirus disease (Coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) and the risk of complications may depend on the presence of chronic diseases. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Inflammatory and degenerative processes in osteoarthritis are accompanied by a violation of the structural integrity of the joint. Components of the extracellular matrix, such as proteoglycans and collagens, together with chondrocytes, provide the mechanical and biological integrity of cartilage. Among the structural proteins of cartilage, collagen type II alpha 1 chain (COL2A1) and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) will play an important role. M e t h o d s . The aim of the work was to determine the expression of the COL2A1 and COMP genes in synovial fluid cells of patients with osteoarthritis after SARS-CoV2 infection. All study participants were divided into two groups. The first group (n = 22) is patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joints II-III degree. The second group (n = 14) is patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joints II-III degree, who suffered mild and moderate form of COVID-19 6–9 months ago. The expression level of COL2A1 and COMP genes was determined in nuclear cells of the synovial fluid, which was evaluated using the method of quantitative polymerase chain reaction with detection of results in real time. Processing of research results was carried out using generally accepted methods of variational statistics. R e s u l t s . In patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joints after suffering from the disease of COVID-19, the expression of COL2A1 and СOMP genes in synovial fluid cells is reduced compared to patients with osteoarthritis who did not suffer from coronavirus infection. The obtained data indicate the intensification of destructive processes in the cartilage tissue of the joints of patients with osteoarthritis after infection with SARS-CoV-2. C o n c l u s i o n s . The results obtained by us indicate that patients with osteoarthritis may develop a more severe course of synovial inflammation after infection with COVID-19.

An association between expectations of treatment and treatment outcome has been reported for conventional medical and surgical treatments. However, this association has not been described for yoga therapy. The present study recruited patients (154 males and 145 females, n = 299; age 48.8 ± 14.7 years) who had been admitted to a residential wellness center, most commonly with diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue; endocrine, nutritional, or metabolic diseases; and digestive system disorders (all based on ICD-11). Assessments included: (1) expectations of yoga and associated therapies at baseline using two questionnaires (Treatment Expectation Questionnaire and Expectation for Treatment Scale); and (2) treatment outcome at baseline and after 7 days of yoga and associated therapies using the Physical Health Questionnaire and Global Perceived Effect scale. The intervention included yoga and additional therapies (e.g., hydrotherapy and ayurveda for approximately 40% of the time). Multivariable regression analyses (controlled for variation due to age, gender, education, and baseline Physical Health Questionnaire scores) demonstrated that expectations of (1) positive outcomes of all aspects of treatment significantly predicted better overall perceived effect of treatment; (2) symptom resolution (positive expectations) significantly predicted higher total Physical Health Questionnaire scores, with better digestion; and (3) low adverse outcomes significantly predicted better sleep. The findings support the premise that higher positive expectations and lower negative expectations of yoga therapy predict better treatment outcomes. These findings suggest that people should be well-informed about the reported benefits and the less-frequent negative outcomes of yoga therapy so that their expectations may be positive yet realistic, optimally influencing treatment outcomes.
