Russian Policy in the Black Sea region: results and new challenges
Authors: Zhiltsov Sergey S.
Published: August 2019

In the last decade, the geopolitical situation in the Black Sea region is changing rapidly.The Black Sea states become members of various organizations, and new pipeline projects arebeing implemented, which create a new framework for interstate relations. An active policy iscarried out by Western countries, which seek to establish themselves on the Black Sea as thedominant force. These processes occur against the background of domestic political changesin the countries of the region, which has a direct impact on bilateral relations both between theBlack Sea states and their level of cooperation with extraregional actors.Russia’s relations with a number of Black Sea states are emerging in a new way. In recent years,the nature of interstate relations with Ukraine has changed dramatically. Kiev set a coursefor the aggravation of bilateral Russian-Ukrainian relations by defiantly expanding its foreignpolicy towards the West. The Crimea’s joining Russia as well as issues related to the Crimean-Tatar population are constantly raised by the Ukrainian side. Kiev deliberately provokesaggravation of relations in the Black Sea by relying on political and informational support fromthe EU and the USA.Despite the difficult international conditions, Russia managed to build a balanced policy towardsTurkey. Energy cooperation, trade and economic cooperation and regional security issues areimportant components of the Russian policy towards Turkey. At the same time, the Russian sidemust take into account the discrepancy between the interests of the two countries in the BlackSea region, and Ankara’s desire to use relations with Kiev and other Black Sea states to promoteits long-term interests.The Russian foreign policy has achieved some success in maintaining the country’s position inthe Black Sea region. Russian interests are based on the military-political potential, as well aseconomic mechanisms. Russian policy is aimed at minimizing the negative effects of influencein the region of Western states, and expanding political and economic cooperation with the BlackSea countries. However, the Russian side has failed to achieve a radical change in the improvement of relations with Bulgaria, which is a member of the EU and NATO. There are difficulties in the political dialogue with Romania, as well. Domestic political events in those countries, and their desire to follow Western countries and plans to join NATO have a strong influence on relations with Georgia and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the positions formed by Russia allow us to count on the protection of its interests and the preservation of influence in the Black Sea region.

Russia is one of the influential participants in the technical and political process of Iranian nuclear programme. Russian-Iranian relations in the nuclear field have been developing fora long time. The article discusses the factors that determine Russia’s approaches to cooperationwith Iran on the nuclear issue. Moscow’s policy takes into account the nature of bilateral Russian-Iranian relations, as well as the development of global processes. The position of Russia onthe further implementation of the Iranian nuclear programme is being considered in accordancewith the agreements reached within the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and takinginto account the change in the position of the United States.Russia and Iran have to take into account foreign factors. This is the sanctions policy of Westerncountries for Russia and moreover it has been constantly intensifying since 2014. The events inCrimea, which led to its entry into Russia, were the main reason for the revision of the relationsbetween the West and Russia. In turn, Iran has uneasy relationships with adjacent states. It wasnot so easy to build relationships with Western countries. The American’s revision of its policyon Iran’s atomic programme violated the current balance of Tehran’s relations with the West,which could lead to a further development of relations between Iran and Russia. Russian-Iraniancooperation is based on the mutual interests of the two countries including their internal politicaldevelopment and political processes in the modern world.

Changing of the characteristics of the labor potential in the transition to the technogenic society
Authors: Tettsoeva O. A.
Published: August 2019

The issues of changing the characteristics of labor potential in the transition to the technogenic society in the postindustrial community, which the processes of further urbanization and development of mega-cities are typical for, – have been examined. The technogenic society has been considered as the community, the basis of which is characterized by reducing dependence of a person on social groups, amplification of personality in creative work, changing of motivation pattern, high pace of social changes, alteration of interpersonal communication models. The movement of quantitative characteristics of labor potential is due to decreasing birth rates, the increasing share of older age groups, the downward changing of migration scale. Trends in the qualitative characteristics are pre-determined by the possibility of continuous learning and self-education. This in turn leads to changing of the situation in the labor market, where low-skilled workers are becoming non-competitive. High qualification fundamentally change an employee’s motivation: the significance of material incentives decreases, external motivation changes for the internal one, the meaningfulness of work, the independence of work performance, the responsibility for decisions taken, become an issue of the highest priority.The transition to the new culture of the technogenic society requires alteration of both professional and personal communications. The communication environment moves increasingly into the virtual world. However, a need is noted to lay emphasis upon the risks of the technogenic society, that relate to the increased scale of a person’s presence in the virtual world and to manage such risks. The risks of the technogenic society are connected with a person’s dependence on cyberspace, which has a negative impact on his or her mental health, and permanent using of electronic devices pre-determines risks of deteriorating his or her physical health. The digital transformation of the society requires the special attention to the safety of presence in cyberspace not only from the point of view of anonymizing of the personalized content, that identifies a particular person, but also taking into account the geolocation of his or her physical presence in the geographical coordinates of the real space. With the virtualization of all aspects of a person’s life, there are the increased risks of changing attitude towards the family values, forming the fundamental basis of the society’s functioning. The technogenic society contributes the risk of conscious single life, rejection family values. This risks will be catastrophic for the existence of humanity.

Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer is one of the pillars of modern electrochemistry with a large body of supporting experimental evidence presented to date. However, some predictions, such as the electrochemical behavior at microdisk electrodes, remain unverified. Herein, we present a study of electron tunneling across a hexagonal boron nitride barrier between a graphite electrode and redox levels in a liquid solution. This was achieved by the fabrication of microdisk electrodes with a typical diameter of 5 µm. Analysis of voltammetric measurements, using two common redox mediators, yielded several electrochemical parameters, including the electron transfer rate constant, limiting current, and transfer coefficient. They show a significant departure from the Butler-Volmer behavior in a clear manifestation of the Marcus-Hush theory of electron transfer. In addition, our system provides a novel experimental platform, which could be applied to address a number of scientific problems such as identification of reaction mechanisms, surface modification, or long-range electron transfer.
Adhesion-Peptide Conjugates of Thermo-Responsive Polymers Co-Electrospun into Fibrous Scaffolds Enable Growth and Enzyme-Free Recovery of Quiescent Human Corneal Stromal Cells (hCSCs)

Published: August 2019

Here we report the development of a PLA/thermo-responsive (PDEGMA) blend 3D electrospun fibre-based scaffold to create an enzymatic-free 3D cell culture platform for the expansion of mammalian cells with the desired phenotype for clinical use. Human corneal stromal cells (hCSCs) were used as an exemplar as they have been observed to de-differentiate to an undesirable myo-fibroblastic phenotype when cultured by conventional 2D cell culture methods. Scaffolds were functionalised with a cell adherence peptide sequence GGG-YIGSR by thiol-ene chemistry to improve cell adherence and phenotype support. This was obtained by functionalising the thermo-responsive polymer with a thiol (PDEGMA/PDEGSH) by co-polymerisation. These incorporated thiols react with the norbornene acid functionalised peptide (GGG-YIGSR) under UV exposure. Presence of the thiol in the scaffold and subsequent peptide attachment on the scaffolds were confirmed by fluorescence labelling, ToF-SIMS and XPS analysis. The biocompatibility of the peptide containing scaffolds was assessed by the adhesion, proliferation and immuno-staining of hCSCs. Significant increase in hCSCs adherence and proliferation was observed on the peptide containing scaffolds. Immuno-staining showed maintained expression of the desired phenotypic markers ALDH, CD34 and CD105, while showing no or low expression of the undesired phenotype marker α-SMA. This desired expression was observed to be maintained after thermo-responsive passaging and observed higher when cells were cultured on PLA scaffolds with 10 wt% PDEGMA/4 mole% PDEGS-Nor-GGG-YIGSR. This paper describes the fabrication and application of a first generation, biocompatible thermo-responsive peptide conjugates fibrous scaffolds. The ease of fabrication, successful adherence and expansion of a therapeutically relevant cell type makes these scaffolds a promising new class of materials for the application of cell culture expansion platforms in the biomaterials and tissue engineering field.
Highly Strained, Radially π-Conjugated Porphyrinylene Nanohoops

Published: August 2019

Small π conjugated nanohoops are difficult to prepare, but offer an excellent platform for studying the interplay between strain and optoelectronic properties and increasingly, these shape persistent macrocycles find uses in host guest chemistry and self assembly. We report the synthesis of a new family of radially π conjugated porphyrinylene/phenylene nanohoops. The strain energy in the smallest nanohoop [2]CPT is approx-imately 54 kcal mol-1, which results in a narrowed HOMO LUMO gap and a red shift in the visible part of the absorption spectrum. Due to its high degree of preorganization and a diameter of ca. 13 Å, [2]CPT was found to accommodate C60 with a binding affinity exceeding 108 M-1 despite the fullerene not fully entering the cavity of the host (X Ray crystallography). Moreover, the π extended nanohoops [2]CPTN , [3]CPTN and [3]CPTA (N for 1,4 naphthyl; A for 9,10 anthracenyl) have been prepared using the same strategy, and [2]CPTN has been shown to bind C70 five times more strongly than [2]CPT. Our failed synthesis of [2]CPTA highlights a limitation of the experimental approach most commonly used to prepare strained nanohoops, because in this particular case the sum of aromatization energies no longer outweighs the buildup of ring strain in the final reaction step (DFT calculations). These results indicate that forcing ring strain onto organic semiconductors is a viable strategy to fundamentally influence both optoelectronic and supramolecular properties.

O ensino e aprendizagem da Física tem sido objeto de muitas pesquisas há décadas, entretanto ele ainda é visto por muitos alunos no Ensino Médio como uma extensão da Matemática, pouco significativo e memorístico. Nesse sentido, a presente pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, buscou investigar a contribuição dos mapas conceituais como instrumento de avaliação, a fim de identificar elementos de Aprendizagem Significativa sobre o conteúdo “ondas eletromagnéticas”, em uma turma de 13 alunos do 3º ano do Ensino Médio de uma instituição pública da região centro-oeste do Estado do Paraná. Os dados desta pesquisa foram obtidos por meio de mapas conceituais iniciais (MCI) e finais (MCF) produzidos pelos alunos durante a implementação de uma sequencia didática. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se a teoria de Gowin e Novak (1999), buscando elementos teóricos da Aprendizagem Significativa de Ausubel, como organização hierárquica, diferenciação progressiva e reconciliação integradora. Buscou-se comparar individualmente a inferência de hierarquização, conceitos físicos, número de ligações e exemplos, bem como a pontuação atingida por cada participante. Perante o exposto, foi possível perceber que essa ferramenta possui grande potencial como instrumento de avaliação indicando indícios de uma Aprendizagem Significativa entre os participantes da proposta.

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os resultados de uma investigação realizada com alunos do Ensino Médio, referente ao conteúdo de probabilidade, sustentado na perspectiva da teoria da aprendizagem significativa. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa utilizou-se um organizador prévio para o ensino de probabilidade e mapas conceituais para a análise dos conhecimentos dos alunos, com base nos elementos que definem a aprendizagem como significativa presente nas construções realizadas. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com vinte e um (21) alunos do segundo ano do Ensino Médio de um colégio estadual público do Norte do Paraná, Brasil. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que os alunos participantes apresentaram indícios de aprendizagem significativa após a aplicação do organizador prévio, pois, percebeu-se a integração de novas ideias aos conceitos que eles já conheciam, bem como a capacidade de diferenciar as novas ideias existentes em sua estrutura cognitiva.

Published: August 2019

O presente artigo relata pesquisa desenvolvida com professores de ciências, química, física e matemática, que lecionam no ensino fundamental e/ou ensino médio, cujo objetivo foi identificar as dificuldades observadas ou enfrentadas na abordagem de temas de educação ambiental. A metodologia foi de natureza qualitativa, com emprego de um questionário para a coleta de dados. Dos quinze professores participantes, seis relataram dificuldades na abordagem de temas ambientais, as quais variaram conforme a área de formação. Os professores formados em ciências biológicas sentem dificuldade em questões referentes à legislação ambiental, em como trabalhar a educação ambiental de forma transversal e crítica, e no desenvolvimento de atividades práticas fora da escola. Já os professores de química, física e matemática apresentam dificuldades ainda mais básicas, relacionadas à falta de conhecimento sobre temas ambientais, e a integrá-los com os conteúdos de suas disciplinas. Quanto aos temas de maior dificuldade de compreensão por parte dos estudantes, somente os formados em ciências biológicas apresentaram respostas coerentes, reforçando a dificuldade e/ou a falta da abordagem de temas ambientais pelos professores das demais áreas. Os docentes manifestaram interesse em material de apoio e sinalizaram vários aspectos nos quais este auxiliaria em relação ao trabalho da educação ambiental.

Nesta pesquisa investigou-se a presença de elementos do enfoque CTS (Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade) na Matriz Curricular do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gastronomia da Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul. O objetivo foi desvelar os elementos científicos, sociológicos, tecnológicos, éticos e estéticos presentes na Matriz Curricular do Curso de Gastronomia da Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul e verificar se esses elementos contemplam o enfoque CTS na Formação de um Gastrônomo. Para tanto utilizou-se como referência a abordagem da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) que tem como premissa a alfabetização científica e tecnológica do estudante como forma de subsidiar a participação democrática do mesmo na sua atuação profissional e na tomada de decisões, de forma crítica e reflexiva. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram a presença do enfoque CTS nas diversas disciplinas que permeiam a formação do gastrônomo. A metodologia de pesquisa utilizada foi a da abordagem Qualitativa do tipo Análise Documental.  A partir da análise das ementas detectou-se a terminologia representativa do enfoque CTS que se apresentam e se repetem nas ementas analisadas numa perspectiva da defesa de uma educação científica e social no Curso Superior de Gastronomia. Levando-se em conta o conjunto de ementas analisadas, foi possível identificar diferentes compreensões e ideias acerca do conceito de cidadania. Concluímos que a abordagem CTS está presente nas disciplinas do curso e contribuem para a formação científica, tecnológica e social dos estudantes. A partir dos resultados desta tese elaborou-se uma Matriz de Referência para o Curso de Gastronomia, com enfoque nas competências CTS inseridas nos documentos do MEC para o ENADE da Gastronomia no ano de 2015.

Background

As a part of the national strategy on the prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAI), a point prevalence survey (PPS) was conducted in acute care hospitals in Switzerland.

Aim

Our objective was to assess the burden of HAI in Swiss acute care hospitals.

Methods

All acute care hospitals were invited to participate in this cross-sectional survey during the second quarter of 2017. The protocol by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control was applied. Patients of all ages, hospitalised on the day of survey were included, except when admitted to outpatient clinics, emergency and psychiatry.

Results

Ninety-six acute care hospitals (79% of all hospitals ≥ 100 beds) provided data on 12,931 patients. Pooled and randomised HAI prevalences were 5.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.5–6.3) and 5.4% (95% CI: 4.8–6.0), respectively. The HAI incidence was estimated at 4.5 (95% CI: 4.0–5.0). The most common type of HAI was surgical site infection (29.0%), followed by lower respiratory tract (18.2%), urinary tract (14.9%) and bloodstream (12.8%) infections. The highest prevalence was identified in intensive care (20.6%), in large hospitals > 650 beds (7.8%), among elderly patients (7.4%), male patients (7.2%) and patients with an ultimately (9.3%) or rapidly (10.6%) fatal McCabe score.

Discussion

This is the first national PPS of Switzerland allowing direct comparison with other European countries. The HAI prevalence was at European Union average (5.9% in 2016 and 2017), but higher than in some countries neighbouring Switzerland. Based on the limited information from previous surveys, HAI appear not to decrease.
Molecular and epidemiological characteristics of human Puumala and Dobrava-Belgrade hantavirus infections, Germany, 2001 to 2017

Introduction

Two hantavirus species, Puumala (PUUV) and Dobrava-Belgrade (DOBV) virus (genotype Kurkino), are endemic in Germany. Recent PUUV outbreaks raised questions concerning increasing frequency of outbreaks and expansion of PUUV endemic areas.

Aims

To describe the epidemiology of human PUUV and DOBV infections in Germany.

Methods

We conducted an observational retrospective study analysing national hantavirus surveillance data notified to the national public health institute and hantavirus nucleotide sequences from patients collected at the national consultation laboratory between 2001 and 2017. Matching molecular sequences with surveillance data, we conducted epidemiological, phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses.

Results

In total, 12,148 cases of symptomatic hantavirus infection were notified 2001–17 (mean annual incidence: 0.87/100,000; range: 0.09–3.51). PUUV infections showed a highly variable space-time disease incidence pattern, causing large outbreaks every 2–3 years with peaks in early summer and up to 3,000 annually reported cases. Sex-specific differences in disease presentation were observed. Of 202 PUUV nucleotide sequences obtained from cases, 189 (93.6%) fall into well-supported phylogenetic clusters corresponding to different endemic areas in Germany. DOBV infections caused few, mostly sporadic cases in autumn and winter in the north and east of Germany.

Conclusions

The frequency of PUUV outbreaks increased between 2001 and 2017 but our data does not support the suggested expansion of endemic areas. The epidemiology of PUUV and DOBV-Kurkino infections differs in several aspects. Moreover, the latter are relatively rare and combining efforts and data of several countries to identify risk factors and develop specific recommendations for prevention could be worthwhile.
