Let’s talk about risks. Parental and peer mediation and their relation to adolescents’ perceptions of on- and off-screen risk behavior
Authors: Sadza Anne , Rozendaal Esther , Daalmans Serena , Buijzen Moniek
Published: December 2022

Studies of mediation practices typically focus on parental mediation, but during adolescence parents’ impact decreases relative to that of peers. This study compares perceived parental and peer mediation in the context of media portrayals of risk behavior and adolescents’ perceptions thereof. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 278 adolescents aged 12 to 17 (M = 14.18, SD = 1.62, 51.4 % girls) using Hayes’s process macro (model 4) to investigate direct and indirect associations between mediation, media-related cognitions, and social norms. Findings indicate that perceived parental and peer mediation are related to adolescents’ media-related cognitions and perceived social norms in equally important but different ways.
Phänomenotechnik und Noumenologie
Authors: Kawanami-Breu Sebastian
Published: December 2022

My paper examines the potential of Gaston Bachelard’s concept ofphenomenotechniquethrough a critique of its historical reception and an analysis of its epistemological implications. Vis-a-vis constructivist and pragmatist interpretations, I argue that the core issue at stake in this concept is not just to regard scientific knowledge as ‘fabricated’ through technical means, but also to understand the radical difference that lies between the experience of a world given to and measured by scientists, and one that is ontologically expanded by the conceptual creations of science. In his reflections on the ‘phenomenotechnical realisation’ of noumena in microphysics, mathematics and chemistry, Bachelard not only anticipated a new epistemic modality which has become eminent now in computerised, data-centric approaches to nature and culture; he also became one of the first philosophers to explore the human experience of a reality inherently built from, and no longer just described by mathematical tools and models.
Performing History in China: Cultural Memory in the Present
Authors: Li Na
Published: December 2022

Performing history has become immensely popular in China since the dawn of the twenty-first century. What is exactly the cultural impulse behind the massive craze for performing history in China? Premised on history being one of many modes of representation of the past, and performance being one of them, this article argues that performing history through reenactment, an expression of cultural memory mediated and remediated in the present, is a new form of public history in China. The democratic impulse enacted by such a performance can nurture serious discussions on historical issues, cultivate a shared interpretive authority, and shape historical consciousness of the ordinary Chinese.
Low-level visual processing of motion events as a window into language-specific effects on perception
Authors: Vanek Norbert , Fu Xingyi
Published: December 2022

This article brings a new perspective to the currently burgeoning interest in the power of language to influence how speakers from different linguistic backgrounds process motion events. While many studies have targeted high-level decision-based processes, such as Manner-based versus Path-based categorisation or motion event similarity judgments from memory, far less is known about the role of various language systems on low-level automatic processing. The goal of this article is to present an experimental method called breaking continuous flash suppression (b-CFS), critically assess its potential to capture language-induced biases when processing motion through a small-scale feasibility study with English native speakers versus Mandarin native speakers, and to provide practical recommendations with examples of how motion event research can respond to the epistemological challenges that this emerging data elicitation method faces.
miRNA-130a-3p targets sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 to activate the microglial and astrocytes and to promote neural injury under the high glucose condition
Authors: Yang Guang , Shi Jinxin
Published: December 2022

As a common complication of diabetes, diabetic pain neuropathy (DPN) is caused by neuron intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Neuron intrinsic factors include neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress, while extrinsic factors are associated with glial activation. The present study was performed to reveal the functions of miR-130a-3p in apoptosis and oxidative stress of the high glucose (HG)-stimulated primary neurons as well as in the activation of microglial and astrocytes. Primary neurons, microglial, and astrocytes were isolated from newborn mice. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry analysis and western blotting. Reactive oxygen species and glutathione levels were assessed to determine the oxidative stress. Markers of glial cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining. The results revealed that miR-130a-3p deficiency alleviated apoptosis and oxidative stress of HG-stimulated neurons as well as suppressed microglial and astrocyte activation. Moreover, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) was found as a target downstream of miR-130a-3p. S1PR1 knockdown partially rescued the inhibitory effects of silenced miR-130a-3p on neuronal injury and glial activation. In conclusion, miR-130a-3p targets S1PR1 to activate the microglial and astrocytes and to promote apoptosis and oxidative stress of the HG-stimulated primary neurons. These findings may provide a novel insight into DPN treatment.
Micah 1–3 and Cultural Trauma Theory: An Exploration
Authors: Bayer Scott P.
Published: December 2022

Trauma studies have seen rapid growth in popularity within the past two decades, moving from a psychological phenomenon to a concept utilized by literary critics, sociologists, and now biblical scholars. Yet, most of the work on trauma theory within biblical studies focuses on psychological aspects of trauma instead of sociological or cultural aspects of trauma. Drawing on Jeffery Alexander’s theory of cultural trauma, a cultural trauma reading of Micah 1–3 reveals how Micah 1–3 as a book transforms Micah’s localized psychological trauma to become a national trauma, explaining why scribes preserved Micah 1–3. Like holocaust testimony that became a cultural trauma, Micah’s testimony to his trauma became a trauma for all of Judea. To create a cultural trauma, Micah 1–3 define the trauma as divine punishment through an Assyrian invasion due to a breakdown of social order seen in the corrupt owners, rulers, and religious leaders. This cultural trauma then becomes one of the early texts to shape later biblical writers’ understanding of divine punishment. This article offers a different perspective of trauma theory and shows how cultural trauma theory explains why Micah 1–3 were preserved.
Surface properties and coffee drop formation of natural surfactant: a case study ofAlbizia procera
Authors: Tongbram Asha , Bhattacharyya Amitabha
Published: December 2022

Saponins are natural surfactants that are readily biodegradable, generally non-toxic to humans and environmentally friendly. In this work, the surface properties, coffee ring effect and characterisation of the extract ofAlbizia procerapod were studied. It showed good washing power and good soil or dirt dispersion and cleaned effectively at low surface tension. The extract is equivalent to commercial detergents, making it a viable biosurfactant. In addition to the critical micelle concentration, there is a lower concentration at which the surface tension curves flatten out. We have named this concentration “Minor Critical Micelle Concentration”. The surfactant also reduces the coffee ring effect of a drying droplet and provides a reasonably uniform distribution of suspended particles. This effect can be used to estimate the critical micelle concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the extract shows the presence of the functional groups –OH, C–H, C=C and C–O–C, which are also found in saponins.
Determining Female Housing Users Housing Needs and Satisfaction Levels During the Pandemic
Authors: İslamoğlu Özge
Published: December 2022

This study hypothesizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed housing users’ physical and psychosocial needs, and thus, their expectations of their residences. The study aims to determine what new needs housing users have and how satisfied they are with their residences. First, a literature search was conducted on residences and user needs and satisfaction. Second, surveys were conducted to identify the residential problems and needs of female users from Rize during the pandemic when people have been spending more time indoors since the preventive measures. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences and the results were expressed in figures and tables. The questionnaires were administered to female users, who are believed to be more responsible for household tasks than male users. Findings on users' residential use and satisfaction levels before and during the pandemic are presented in detail. In the last stage, the study made recommendations regarding the design of current residences and future ones based on the results. The survey results showed that participants had spent more time in their residences, used the rooms more often, performed different activities in the rooms, attached different meanings to their residences, and changed the norms regarding the use of the rooms since the pandemic. Depending on these changes, participants had new needs, made or considered making modifications, and encountered some problems during the process. The study aimed to develop design proposals for future residences by determining how the pandemic had affected current users and what new residential needs they had had since the pandemic began. In this study, the effects of this newly encountered process on residential spaces are revealed. In addition the results will contribute to the plans of new projects or existing residences.
Evaluation of the Lighting Energy Performance of Educational Buildings with BEP-TR Methodology: The Case of ERU Faculty of Architecture
Authors: Küçük Ahmet Afşin , Sümengen Özlem
Published: December 2022

As part of energy efficiency and conservation measures, central and local governments have developed various action plans, international commitments, calculation models, regulations, standards, and certificates and arrangements. Building Energy Performance (BEP-TR), a national calculation method developed according to the conditions of Turkey, is one of them. With BEP-TR, the energy efficiency of the building is measured in existing or alternative situations. In public buildings, the issue of energy efficiency is vital in terms of being an example. In the framework of this study, the Faculty of Architecture of Erciyes University as an educational and public structure was selected as the study area. Lighting is essential in electricity consumption in public buildings, especially educational establishments. This study aims to guide the energy efficiency principles and lighting design on the axis of comfort-cost and consumption for all public buildings, especially educational buildings, by emphasizing that the concept of energy efficiency should be handled multi-dimensionally with its various layers. Current state data to measure using the BEP-TR will be assessed if the lighting is energy efficient, according to visual comfort needs. Lighting energy consumption values were recalculated by checking the alternatives, simulations, and visual comfort criteria developed concerning energy efficiency. With the revision of the lighting design, the amount of savings to be realized by the system that meets the requirements for visual comfort was calculated. While the improvements proposed in the study were handled under the title of the artificial lighting system, other parameters were kept constant. In improvements alternatives, while offering a physical and psychological enhancement for users, it also saves energy in public buildings and bring an ecological proposition to reduce the carbon footprint for nature. Considering the proposal in the context of comfort-consumption-cost and amortization. The calculation of how long the initial investment cost will be amortized with the amount of savings has been made using three different methods. The study shows originality in responding to the designer’s aesthetic concerns with the multi-dimensional inputs of energy efficiency.
An Application of Consistency Testing for Spatial Plans: Case of Trabzon, Türkiye
Authors: Öztürk Saka Mihriban , Erdoğan Aygün
Published: December 2022

The starting point of this study is the problematic perspective of focusing only on the final product in spatial planning, while ignoring the planning process, and a lack of certain standards/criteria of the evaluation stage for the internal and external consistencies of spatial plans. Although it has recently attracted significant interest in the field, the methodological use of evaluation is not widespread in planning practice. Evaluation, which is considered to be a simple checking duty in the Turkish planning system (TPS), is not considered in the related literature and legislation. Focusing on the “evaluation stage” of spatial planning, this paper aims to demonstrate the contribution of the previously developed Guideline for Evaluation of Spatial Plans (GESP) in testing and ensuring the consistency of different scale and types of plans prior to their approval. The first phase of the study focuses on the concept of evaluation, reviews a series of related literature for the evaluation of plans, and discusses the evaluation stage in the TPS. In the second phase, the consistency of the selected case area plansafter addition of new resources that comply with the input of the previously developed evaluation framework GESPis examined. This guideline, which is an analytical method proposal, is applied over the selected cases, involving the upper-scale plans that cover Trabzon province and lower-scale plans for some settlements that were selected from within this province. Consistencies of all the plan components (plan sheets, plan report, plan notes, plan legend) of plans with different scales for the case area were tested in terms of the criteria of the developed guideline. Most of these plans were found to be inconsistent, both internally and externally. In the study, it was determined that the plans in fact contained many inconsistencies on their approval without being subjected to such evaluation. Although the study did not focus on the frequency of evaluation of spatial plans, the parties that will make those evaluations, and how to use their output, it provides basis for future studies. The “evaluation stage”, an important theoretical issue in the international literature, is exemplified for both how it would be handled and tested in practice. Identifying the needs, processes, and problems related to the evaluation stage, mainly for its ex-ante stage, will allow the TPS to intervene in the preparation of plans before their approval. This may have a positive impact on the production of final plans that are more comprehensive, and do not require continuous changes during the planning process. The introduced use of the guideline will contribute to the limited number of studies, concerning the evaluation stage of the spatial plans in Türkiye, besides guiding the related possible legal regulations regarding the TP.
The Assessment of the Criteria of Social Infrastructure within the Scope of Women-Friendly City Planning Approach: The Example of Çiğli
Authors: Efe Güney Mercan , Tuncay Beste , Tanrıverdi Sıdal , Şanlı Nurseli , Akbudak Hacer , Ay Filiz
Published: December 2022

There is a close parallel between the freedom, equality and socialization that the residents in a social settıng are enjoying and the openness and equal availability of the social infrastructure in this setting. When these points are taken into consideration, it is possible to get the idea that social infrastructure areas should be planned as woman-friendly city criteria. So long as the urban planning fails to accomplish this task of creating a due process and language for gender equality, the social infrastructure areas in the cities will continue to pose a serious problem to the gender equality. In this article, an attempt has been made to articulate some suggestions for evaluating the social infrastructure areas in the light of woman-friendly city planning. This article offers some guıdelines for deciding which data should be taken into consideration and how the social infrastructure areas should be examined. The study analyzes social infrastructure areas following four categories: adequacy, accessibility, safety and usability. The findings revealed that no social infrasurcture areas met these criteria, especially in the densely used areas. The lack of face-to-face interviews with women is the shortcoming of the study. The study is one of the first studies on the subject, but it is thought that it will contribute to the field literature with its review and recommendation codes.
Animal excelso. Naturaleza y deseo en Clemente de Alejandría
Authors: Vindas Sánchez Daniel
Published: December 2022

Este artículo se propone comprender, en primer lugar, tres nociones relacionadas al deseo en la obra del teólogo del siglo II d.C. Clemente de Alejandría. Estas nociones, aphrodisia, orexeis y epithymia, reúnen significados que han sido traducidos e interpretados ambiguamente como ‘sexualidad’; sin embargo, se propone analizar con mayor amplitud y detenimiento los alcances semánticos y filosóficos de aquellos términos, así como su tratamiento en la obra de autores pioneros de la historia de la sexualidad como Michel Foucault, planteando una crítica al abordaje de la obra clementina en su proyecto de historia.

Liver Cirrhosis in Chronic Hepatitis B: is it due to Hepatic Vena Cava Syndrome: case report
Authors: Man Shrestha Santosh
Published: December 2022

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a common chronic viral infection of man. Hepatitis B Virus is not a cytopathic virus. Extensive intrahepatic viral replication is compatible with normally functioning hepatocytes. Patients with CHB in the West manifest as a ‘healthy carrier’, whereas in Asia and Africa some develop liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Liver cirrhosis in CHB is assumed to evolve through chronic hepatitis but its pathogenesis and the geographic difference in the outcome of CHB is not explained adequately. Nepal is a country with low prevalence of CHB, where patients with CHB have hepatic vena cava syndrome (HVCS) as a comorbid condition. HVCS is a bacterial infection induced chronic obstructive disease of inferior vena cava at the site of hepatic vein opening. It is clinically characterized by long asymptomatic courses and occasional episodes of acute exacerbation precipitated by bacterial infection that result in hepatic venous outflow obstruction. Increased frequencies of acute exacerbations led to development of hypersplenism, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Long time follow up of patients with CHB in Nepal showed development of cirrhosis in many but it was not related to the severity of viral replication or to the duration of the viral infection. Cirrhosis developed more frequently in patients with hypersplenism and those with severe and recurrent acute exacerbation of HVCS. These observations suggested that the development of cirrhosis in CHB in Afro-Asian countries may be due to the presence of HVCS as a comorbid condition. Reported here are a few cases of CHB that illustrate this point. Pathogenesis of cirrhosis in these patients is discussed.
Telaah Metodologi Penafsiran Imam al-Syaukānī dalam Kitab Tafsir Fatḥ al-Qādir
Authors: Al-Anshary Fathul Mujahidin , Hamzah Andi Abdul
Published: December 2022

This article will discuss the methodology of interpreting Imam al-Syaukānī in the book Fatḥ al-Qādir. This discussion is important to study, because even though al-Syaukānī is Shia Zaidiyah, according to some literatures, he says that his interpretation has a broad-minded explanation to answer the problems that exist today. The type of research used in this article is library research, while the method is descriptive-analytic. Thus, the results of this study conclude that the methodology of interpretation of al-Syaukānī in the book of Fatḥ al-Qādir is based on the tahlili interpretation method, which is to interpret the verse globally according to the order of the manuscripts, then explain the asbāb al-nuzūl, suggesting about the privileges of a surah and the place of descent, stating the differences from the Ahl al-Qira'at by using Lugah knowledge, explaining Nasikh wa al-Mansukh, performing tarjih from a number of points of view, explaining the legal meaning of the verse, and of course also explaining the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad., Friends, Tabi'in, and Tabi' Tabi'in.
Qur’anic Verbalization on the Issue of Religious Freedom in Indonesia
Authors: Lufaefi Lufaefi , Alwi HS Muhammad , Parninsih Iin
Published: December 2022

This article aims to understand the verses on religious freedom using method of Verbalization of the Qur’an, which was coined by Muhammad Alwi HS, in the Indonesian context. Based on its initial form and identity, Verbalization of the Qur’an is a method that has a strong foundation in providing an understanding of the Al-Qur’an in a different space and context from the time of revelation, including in Indonesia. As for the verse - The verse studied in this article is QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 256, Q S. Ali Imran [3]: 64, QS. Al-Qashash [28]: 56, QS. Yunus [10]: 99. The result that is found in this article is that all of these verses prohibit the imposition of coercion on other people to follow a certain religion. Faith is the right of everyone who is blessed by God, as Allah does not make all believers or unbelievers, but allows everyone to choose the faith (religion) they want. In the context of Indonesia, the verbalization of the verses of religious freedom can be found in the form of a national and state constitution, namely based on the 1945 Constitution in article 28E paragraph (1), the 1945 Constitution in article 29 paragraph (2), the first principle of Pancasila "God Almighty",  Law no. 39/1999 on Human Rights (HAM), and article 28I of the 1945 Constitution concerning the ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
El análisis de errores léxicos como herramienta en la formación de profesores checos y eslovacos de ELE
Authors: Rodríguez García Cristina
Published: December 2022

This paper arises from the subject Errors in Spanish as a Foreign Language, taught in the Master of Teaching Spanish at Masaryk University of Brno, Czech Republic. Its main objective is to show how the analysis of lexical errors can be used as a tool in the training of non‑native teachers of Spanish, in this case, Czech and Slovak. To achieve this goal, firstly, the paper presents a brief review of the trends that have investigated errors in foreign language learning, such as contrastive analysis, error analysis and interlanguage studies. Secondly, it analyzes a corpus of texts written by learners of Spanish according to the error analysis methodology (Corder, 1967), as an activity for the Master students. Thirdly, it shows a typological classification of different lexical errors found in the texts and it reflects on the possible connection between mistakes and teaching methodology. Based on the results of the analysis, the paper discusses the usefulness of the analysis of these errors not only for the training of non‑native teachers of Spanish as a foreign language, but also for a better understanding of vocabulary teaching.
Wie Wissenschaft und Praxis Fachunterricht gemeinsam weiterentwickeln können: Eine Design-Based Research-Studie zur Förderung der Sprechkompetenz im Englischunterricht
Authors: Delius Katharina
Published: December 2022

Während die fremdsprachendidaktische Forschung meist ausgewählte Aspekte des Lehrens und Lernens einer fremden Sprache untersucht und die Forschungsergebnisse vorrangig in den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs einbringt, werden von praktischer Seite Hoffnungen auf konkrete und umsetzbare Innovationen für aktuelle Fragen und Probleme artikuliert. Design-Based Research (DBR) kann mit seiner doppelten Zielsetzung gewinnbringend für beide Seiten sein: Die Forschung erhält Erkenntnisse zu fremdsprachlichen Lernprozessen und kann die eigenen Theorien erweitern. Die Praxis hingegen profitiert von empirisch validierten Methoden oder Unterrichtsarrangements.

Wie und unter welchen Umständen ein DBR-Forschungsprojekt im schulischen Kontext umsetzbar ist, beleuchtet der vorliegende Beitrag. Dazu werden die Grundsätze des Forschungszugangs anhand eines abgeschlossenen DBR-Projekts zur Sprechförderung im Englischunterricht erläutert. Dem Unterrichtsdesign, das im Fokus der Studie stand, lag eine neuartige Synthese aus Genre- und dramapädagogischem Ansatz zugrunde. Die doppelte Zielsetzung der Studie – durchgeführt in einer sechsten Klasse, integrierte Gesamtschule – bestand in einem theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn zum didaktischen Ansatz und einem praktischen Output in Form empirisch evaluierter Unterrichtseinheiten zur Sprechförderung. Über drei Forschungszyklen wurden Designprinzipien weiterentwickelt, die Lehrkräften für die Planung eigener Unterrichtseinheiten zur Verfügung stehen. Als Grundlage für die formative und summative Evaluation der Zyklen dienten Daten aus Videoaufnahmen, teilnehmender Beobachtung, Reflexionsgesprächen mit der Lehrkraft, Interviews mit Lernenden, Lernerprodukten sowie Evaluations- und Selbsteinschätzungsbögen aller Lernenden. Der Beitrag illustriert ferner, wie die Darstellung des komplexen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprozesses in Form eines Design-Narrativ strukturiert wurde. Abschließend werden Überlegungen dazu angestellt, inwieweit sich die enge Kooperation zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis für beide Seiten als gewinnbringend erwiesen hat und welche Gelingensbedingungen sich für andere DBR-Studien ableiten lassen.

Authors: Gerasimov Aleksey N. , Gromov Evgeny I. , Skripnichenko Yury S. , Grigoryeva Oksana P. , Skripnichenko Victoria Yu.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The export potential of the regional agricultural market causes great interest from both the scientific community and government agencies. Many scientific studies are devoted to the search for methods to increase the export potential in order to ensure the sustainable development of regional economic systems. The article proposes and tests the original author’s algorithm for creating a dynamic econometric model for forecasting the volumes of production, sales and exports of the main types of livestock products at the regional level. The purpose of the article is to assess the export potential of the main products of the regional agricultural market based on the built dynamic econometric models.

Materials and Methods. The research is based on a set of empirical data of result and input variables characterizing the production, sales and export of the main livestock products in the region for the period 2010–2020. Research methods include dynamic analysis, econometric modeling and forecasting. The dynamic analysis carried out made it possible to assess the change in the production, sale and export of the main agricultural products in the region, to assess the current trends. Based on the constructed econometric models, the most significant factors influencing the resulting variables were identified, the specifications and verification of the models were carried out. The method of extrapolation of the identified trends made it possible to evaluate the predicted values of the resulting variables for the medium term.

Results. Based on the selected input variables, models of production, sale and export of milk, wool and eggs by agricultural producers in the region were built. From a variety of alternative models, models with the best statistical quality characteristics were selected. The high level of quality of the obtained models made it possible to use them for predictive calculations of the levels of resulting variables for the period 2021–2026. Comparison of the results of the forecasts made it possible to identify the types of livestock products that already have a high level of exportability. In addition, types of products with a low level of exportability were identified, which have a high potential for increase.

Discussion and Conclusion. As a result of using econometric modeling methods, dynamic models were obtained that made it possible to obtain a forecast for the development of livestock in a region with a high export potential in the near future. The practical significance of this article lies in the possibility of influencing the production, sale and export of livestock products in the region through a change in the corresponding set of factor variables of the models. Thus, the resulting dynamic models can be used both by agricultural producers for planning economic activities, and by regional authorities when drawing up regional development programs.
The Image of Russia as the Other in the Political Discourse of Emmanuel Macron
Authors: Markov Grigory V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The concept of the Other is an integral part of the functioning of society, it occupies an important place in determining the political boundaries of the ideology of the state. The issue of the formation of French identity has long been discussed in broad intellectual and political circles. In the self-determination of France under Macron, the image of the Other is of particular importance for ensuring the consolidation of the states of the West. The purpose of the article is, on the basis of the study, to assess the significance of using Russia as the Other of France, to analyze the reasons for this discursive strategy of Macron.

Materials and Methods. The research base is the works of domestic and foreign scientists. The materials for the study are empirical and theoretical studies, French statistical materials. Methods of comparative and discursive analysis, cultural-historical method, content analysis are used in the work.

Results. In the process of a comprehensive study of the first five-year term of Macron, the reason for the use by the French authorities of discursive practices of hostility to Russia for the “Fifth Republic” was revealed. The discursive expulsion of Russia from Europe does not meet the aspirations of the French. However, Russia’s special operation in Ukraine finally has made Russia as the Other for France, has established a supranational French self-identification, and has suppressed Euroscepticism in the Fifth Republic.

Discussion and Conclusion. Conclusions have been drawn about the reasons for the negative perception of Russia in France. This self-identification forms a supranational French identity, enhances the image of President Emmanuel Macron in the EU, and increases the importance of criticism as a method of political struggle in the party system. This study can be useful both for a specialist in French studies in the analysis of bilateral relations between countries, and for an ordinary layman to form opinions. The perspectives of this topic cover studies of the need to develop Franco-Russian relations.

Authors: Bezrukov Anatoliy V. , Naumkin Nikolay I. , Kupryashkin Vladimir F. , Kupryashkin Vladimir V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The paper considers the problem of improving the efficiency of self-propelled small-sized tillage cutters by adapting to changing environments, and in particular, to changing physical and mechanical properties of the soil. The aim of the research is to develop a methodology for designing self-propelled small-sized tillage cutters.
Materials and Methods. The study used the basic provisions of the theory of mechanisms and machines and the design theory in mechanical engineering. The main attention is paid to the general scientific principle of adaptation in designing self-propelled small-sized tillage cutters. The authors understand this principle as the ability to automatically provide the required mode of machine operation in relation to the soil conditions.
Results. The results presented in the article made it possible to propose a methodological approach to designing efficient self-propelled small-sized tillage cutters with an ability to adapt them to changing environments. The results of the study are a methodology for designing tillage cutters and a new technical solution for their adaptation to soil conditions. On the basis of patents for inventions and utility models, in which this method is implemented, there was developed a prototype tillage cutter, which automatically covers the full range of required operating modes.
Discussion and Conclusion. Compared to the known tillage cutters, the proposed technical solution for the soil tillage cutter design allows improving the quality of soil tillage. This is due to the fact that the value of the kinematic index is in the required range, and the agrotechnical requirements for tillage are met.
Investigation of Field and Energy in a Weakly-Conducting Optical Fiber with an Arbitrary Degree of Refractive Index Profile
Authors: Gladkikh Vyacheslav A. , Vlasenko Victor D.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. We consider a weakly conductive gradient fiber in the single-mode regime and solve the equation for the electric field in the core of this fiber in a general form in the first approximation. The aim of this study is to study the field and energy in the core of a weakly conductive gradient fiber without taking into account the polarization in the single-mode regime in the case of a power-law (generally) refractive index profile.
Materials and Methods. From Maxwell’s equations for dielectric media, there was derived an equation for the field in a fiber with gradient refractive index profile. Making the appropriate substitutions, replacing the zero-order Bessel function with a Gaussian function, and making the necessary approximation of the resulting equation, we arrive at an equation that we solve by the Wentzel – Kramers – Brillouin method and obtain analytical expressions for the field and energy inside waveguide for an arbitrary degree of the refractive index.
Results. There was obtained a solution of the equation for the field in fiber with a powerlaw refractive index profile. Numerical calculations were carried out. A graph of the dependence of a dimensionless quantity – “normalized” energy – on the waveguide parameter for the first five powers of the profile (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) was plotted.
Discussion and Conclusion. It is shown that the energy increases faster for the profile with n = 1, and after this value, the energy for the profile with n = 1 increases sharply, and for n > 1, the energy growth decreases with increasing n. The results obtained in this work can be used for creating an energy-efficient core, for carrying out a possible analysis of information transmission, and for designing waveguides taking into account specific applications.

The purpose of this article is to present possibilities for obtaining a new type of probiotic yoghurt enriched by adding hemp press cake flour (HPCF) in different amounts (2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%). Hemp press cake is a by-product that remains after the cold pressing of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.). The Principal component analysis showed that the amounts of 4 to 10% had a significant effect, and the amount of 2% HPCF had no effect on the physicochemical characteristics of probiotic yoghurt. By the resulting regression model and linear programming algorithm was determined the amount of 4.04% HPCF as the most appropriate in probiotic yoghurt, which was also confirmed in the sensory analysis. The amount of total polyphenols and antioxidant activity significantly increased with the addition of hemp press cake flour from 41.46 mg GAE/mL and 32.2% DPPH inhibition to 111.16 mg GAE/mL to and 55.6% DPPH inhibition in probiotic yoghurt with 10% HPCF.

Authors: Acosta Isaza Valeria , Echeverry Cuartas Leidy Viviana
Published: December 2022

El Observatorio Asuntos de Mujer y Género de la Secretaría de las Mujeres de Antioquia, es el ente encargado de la generación de información que permita visibilizar las características, contextos y condiciones de vida de las mujeres del departamento de Antioquia en los ejes: sociodemográfico, educativo, autonomía económica, participación política, salud integral, vida libre de violencias, construcción de paz y mujer rural; que contribuya a la comprensión y análisis de las brechas de género y al posicionamiento de acciones estratégicas para el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de las mujeres en las agendas públicas.  En el marco de una asistencia técnica del proyecto “cada mujer y niña cuenta” de ONU Mujeres se desarrolló la investigación Perfil de Género: Brechas en Antioquia, énfasis en las Mujeres de Antioquia que recoge análisis comparativos de la situación de las mujeres en el departamento en los últimos 10 años, lo que implicó gestionar, procesar y analizar alrededor de 260 indicadores desagregado según sexo, grupos poblacionales, edad, pertenencia étnica, dominio geográfico, entre otras variables. En este artículo se presentan algunos de los indicadores de esta investigación a la luz de una actualización de las cifras del 2020 con un análisis de los impactos que ha ocasionado el Covid-19 y las medidas de aislamiento social para prevenirlo que ha profundizado las desigualdades preexistentes y vulnerabilidades tanto económicas como políticas y sociales de las mujeres y las niñas en Antioquia.
El desprecio como narrativa prototípica: análisis del cubrimiento noticioso de homicidios en Cúcuta (2020)
Authors: Sánchez Helena
Published: December 2022

Esta investigación analiza el cubrimiento noticioso de casos de homicidio durante el año 2020, por parte del diario La Opinión (Cúcuta), en su versión digital, con miras a identificar las estrategias de cobertura de estas noticias. El proceso metodológico describe los encuadres utilizados en un corpus principal, junto a un corpus anexo de editoriales y noticias que intentan explicar los porqués del crimen. Tras la descripción, se encuentran tendencias que determinan la existencia de una narrativa prototípica, caracterizada por un relato estandarizado, sin protagonismo de la víctima, estigmatizante, que prioriza la visibilidad de la violencia física y establece un orden social relacionado con la paralegalidad. El estudio concluye que pese a las complejidades territoriales, a la expansión de la Covid-19, y al aumento de homicidios durante el 2020, el medio de comunicación no tuvo en cuenta los factores contextuales para cambiar la estructura discursiva sobre el crimen, sino que consolidó la mediatización y naturalización del desprecio a través de una narrativa prototípica.

The paper presents an experimental study of the size distribution of gas bubbles in an inclined pipe. The measurements were carried out for gas flow rate 3.3 ml/min, at pipe inclination angles of 30-60 deg. The study of the gas bubble diameters was performed using the shadow photography method. The values of the average size of bubbles and the size distribution of bubbles were obtained depending on the angle of inclination of the pipe and the distance from the location of the gas phase injection the measurement point.
Variation of the mass susceptibility of sandstone after high-temperature heating
Authors: Sun Q. , Dong Z. , Geng J. , Zhang W.
Published: December 2022

Burnt rocks usually exhibit magnetic enhancement, which can be used to detect the spontaneous combustion zone of a coal fire or locate the resources in burnt rocks. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying magnetic enhancement, sandstone is heated to high temperatures between 100 and 1200°C. The mass susceptibility of the sandstone is measured after cooling, and the magnetic characteristics are explained based on the changes in colour and porosity, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis experiments and the observation of thin sections of rocks and scanning electron microscopy images. The findings are as follows: (1) the magnetic susceptibility of sandstone increases rapidly by two orders of magnitude as the temperature rises above 800°C. (2) The oxidation of iron ions and the formation of magnetite enhance the magnetic susceptibility of sandstone. The formation of magnetite at 800°C significantly enhances the magnetic susceptibility. (3) The highest temperature experienced by a burnt rock can be evaluated by analysing the different responses of the susceptibility of sandstone to temperature. Furthermore, it is possible to use the magnetic anomaly of the burnt rock to locate it and develop and utilise the beneficial resources in the burnt rock.
Att bilda goda, matematiska medborgare i Sverige
Authors: Norén Eva , Valero Paola
Published: December 2022

Det här kapitlet handlar om hur officiella läroplanstexter bildar en ideal matematiskt kompetent medborgare och vad medborgarskap i relation till matematik kan innebära. Vi genomför en jämförande analys av den andra läroplanen för en sammanhållen grundskola, Lgr69, och den läroplan som som gällde när kapitlet skrevs, Lgr11. Den jämförande strategin gör det möjligt för oss att urskilja hur förändringar i artikulation signalerar olika uppfattningar om de riktningar som skolmatematiken i läroplanerna har, och som —avsiktligt— konstruerar den önskade medborgaren. Med andra ord är syftet med kapitlet att undersöka och redovisa hur den önskade matematiskt kompetenta medborgaren bildas med och genom undervisningen i matematik samt vilka normer för detta som byggs upp under två olika tidsperioder med något olika politiska rationaliteter. Olika sätt att tänka, tala och kunskapa knyter an till sin tids utbildningspolitik och kommer till uttryck i de två läroplanerna.

Authors: Tshering Namgyal
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of instructional leadership on the level of teacher performance and to find out whether there was a statistically significant positive relationship between instructional leadership and teacher performance in the Lower secondary schools of Thimphu district in Bhutan. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used; a quantitative approach was conducted by using PIMRS questionnaires adopted from Hallinger, (1983) for instructional leadership and the researcher developed questionnaires for the teacher performance to collect data. There were 185 respondents from 6 Lower second for delivering quality lessons aligning with the appropriate curriculum where teaching-learning takes an interview with the principal and one most senior teacher from each school. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics consisting of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation while content analysis was employed to analyze the interview data. The findings showed that the level of teacher performance was at the highest level and the instructional Leadership by the principal was at a high level. The data indicated there was a statistically significant positive relationship between Principals’ instructional leadership and teacher performance. Further, the results from the interviews supported statistical findings that teacher performance strongly correlated to instructional principals' action to delegate teachers to improve schools/Bhutan.
