Estimating the Possible Effect of Belt and Road Initiative on Brazilian Economic Growth
Authors: Romanello Michele
Published: January 2022

Brazil's future participation in the Belt and Road Initiative will promote economic growth, increase the importance of the initiative on the international scene and contribute to the promotion of bilateral economic and trade relations between China and Latin America countries.This paper analyses the alleged effect of BRI on Brazilian economy if the country would have chosen to join the program in the past years (2013-2019) as other countries in the world did. The alleged effect is calculated using the methodology of synthetic control: a statistical method used to evaluate the effect of an intervention/programme in comparative case studies.The results show that Brazil could benefit from joining the Belt and Road Initiative: the GDP per capita rate would be 4.73% higher each year, on average.However, to Brazil joins the BRI, it will be necessary for China and Brazil to know how to maintain a frequent and structured dialogue that projects confidence, opens paths and does not leave governmental dialogue behind what is happening in practical reality. Moreover, more academic research about the initiative and a greater dissemination of its benefits by the media will be needed to raise awareness among the public and politicians about a probable BRI agreement by Brazil.
ALOMORF NASALISASI DAN NASAL PENAMBAH DALAM BAHASA BIDAYUH-SOMU
Authors: Bunau Eusabinus
Published: January 2022

Abstract This is a research on linguistics field, that is Nasalization Process of Bidayuh-Somu language. Nasalization is is a process of affixation as one of word formation processes. The Nasalization is one of processes to derive verb, that is transitive verb. Result of the research shows, the Nasalization Process in the Bidayuh-Somu language is applied through affixation of Nasalization morpheme and its variants comprising allomorphs and homorganic nasals to root word. Analysis on structure shows, Nasalization in the Bidayuh-Somu langauge applies by replacing and/or adding root word with the allomorphs and homorganic nasals. Therefore, the Nasalization in the Bidayuh-Somu language functions both as class-maintaining and class-changing. As class-maintaining, the Nasalization is prefixed to root word that is verbal. Meanwhile as class-changing, the Nasalization in this Bidayuh-Somu language is prefixed to root word that is nominal. Besides, it was also found out that the Nasalization is functioned to derive active verb, that is transitive verb. Keywords: Nasalization Process, Morpheme and Nasalization Allomorph, Repalcive and Additive Nasalization.

Abstrak Semakin hari kesadaran siswa terhadap tata tertib sekolah semakin berkurang. Selain dari kurang sadarnya siswa terhadap tata tertib, mulai tumbuh juga perilaku kenakalan remaja di kalangan siswa SMP Negeri 3 Matan Hilir Selatan. Permasalahan kenakalan remaja dan kesadaran siswa terhadap tata tertib sekolah akan sulit di atasi jika tidak ada kerjasama yang baik antara pihak sekolah dan orang tua. Terkadang pihak orang tua tidak menyadari bahwa kenakalan siswa juga dipengaruhi oleh pergaulan di luar lingkungan sekolah. Wali siswa hanya menuntut anaknya menjadi pandai di sekolah tanpa memperhatikan pergaulan anaknya di luar sekolah dan tidak pernah juga memotivasi anaknya untuk rajin belajar. Selain itu, pihak sekolah yang dalam hal ini diwakili oleh wali kelas jarang atau bahkan tidak pernah membicarakan perihal kenakalan siswa dengan wali siswa, sehingga masalah kenakalan siswa dan kurangnya motivasi belajar siswa di sekolah sulit untuk dicari jalan keluarnya. Sehingga peneliti tertarik melakukan home visit. Dari hasil penelitian didaptkan bahwa masih banyak pelanggaran-pelanggaran tata tertib yang dilakukan oleh siswa, baik siswa lakukan di dalam kelas saat belajar atau saat di luar kelas. Sedangkan motivasi belajar yang dimiliki siswa d SMP Negeri 3 Matan Hilir Selatan sangat beragam, ada yang motivasi belajarnya tinggi, sedang, kurang, dan ada juga beberapa yang mulai kehilangan motivasi belajar Kata Kunci : Home Visit, Wali Kelas, Motivasi Belajar

Temperature and curvature-dependent thermal interface conductance between nanoscale-gold and water from molecular simulation
Authors: Wilson Blake , Nielsen Steven , Randrianalisoa Jaona , Qin Zhenpeng
Published: January 2022

Plasmonic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can convert laser irradiation into thermal energy and act as nano heaters in avariety of applications. Although the AuNP-water interface is an essential part of the plasmonic heating process,there is a lack of mechanistic understanding of how interface curvature and the heating itself impact interfacial heattransfer. Here, we report atomistic molecular dynamics simulations that investigate heat transfer through nanoscalegold-water interfaces. We confirmed that interfacial heat transfer is an important part of AuNP heat dissipation inAuNPs with diameter less than 100 nm, particularly for small particles with diameter≤10 nm. To account forvariations in the gold-water interaction strength reported in the literature, and to implicitly account for differentsurface functionalizations, we modeled a moderate and a poor AuNP-water wetting scenario. We found that thethermal interface conductance increases linearly with interface curvature regardless of the gold wettability, while itincreases non-linearly, or remains constant, with the applied heat flux under different wetting conditions. Our analysissuggests the curvature dependence of the interface conductance is due to the changes in interfacial water adsorption,while the temperature dependence is caused by heat-induced shifts in the distribution of water vibrational states.Our study advances the current understanding of interface thermal conductance for a broad range of applications.
Small Gold-Thiolate Clusters Au3(SMe)3: Benchmarking of Density Functionals and Bonding Analysis

Published: January 2022

We present a benchmark study on popular density functionals for their efficiency and accuracy in the geometry and relative stability of gold-thiolate nanoclusters taking Au3(SMe)3 isomers. We have used normalized mean absolute error (NMAE) analysis as a parameter to compare the results with the reference methods - DLPNO-CCSD(T) and RI-SCS-MP2. We have also compared the performance on the thiolate interaction energy of the stable geometries using the results from our benchmark study. One of the promising functional is PBE that shows robust performance for geometry optimization. On the other hand, M06-2X stands out as the proper choice for the relative energies of the clusters. With the selected methods, we have analyzed the gold-sulfur interaction in Au3(SMe)3 and a comparison is made with AuSMe. The bonding analysis has revealed a partial covalency between gold and sulfur atoms in general. On going from AuSMe to Au3(SMe)3, a substantial flow of charge from gold atoms to thiolate ligands as a result of the increase in gold s-d hybridization. As the s-d mixing in Au increases, the main character of Au-S interaction shifts from covalent to ionic. Hence, a covalent-charge-transfer interaction dominates in gold-sulfur bonding and gives rise to a charge-shift bonding.

A catalytic system was discovered for the intramolecular C-H amidation of N-phenoxy acetamide derivatives. For the first time, a cobalt catalyst was employed for the Catellani reaction. Additionally, a monocyclic olefin, maleimide, was used as a transient mediator in place of bicyclic norbornenes. Maleimide promotes a Co(III) intermediate to undergo oxidative addition into the O–N bond to form a Co(V) nitrene species and subsequently directs nitrene addition to the ortho position. A plausible mechanism for the transformation is proposed, supported by experimental and density functional theory (DFT) computational studies. Further, the synthetic utility of this methodology was demonstrated via the ortho-amidation of estrone.
LOAD FORECASTING FOR MONTHS OF THE LUNAR NEW YEAR HOLIDAY USING STANDARDIZED LOAD PROFILE AND SUPPORT REGRESSION VECTOR: CASE STUDY HO CHI MINH CITY
Authors: Dung Nguyen Tuan- , Phuong Nguyen Thanh-
Published: January 2022

Load forecasting plays an important role in building business strategies, ensuring reliability and safe operation for any electrical system. There are many different methods, including: regression models, time series, neural networks, expert systems, fuzzy logic, machine learning and statistical algorithms used for short-term forecasts. However, the practical requirement is how to minimize the forecast errors to prevent power shortages or wastage in the electricity market and limit risks. For Asian countries (such as Vietnam) that use lunar calendar, one of the most difficult and unpredictable issues is the Lunar New Year (usually in late January or early February). There is a deviation between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar (the load models are not identical). Therefore, it often leads the forecast results of algorithm for this period with large errors. The paper proposes a method of short-term load forecasting by constructing a Standardized Load Profile (SLP) based on the past electrical load data, combining machine learning algorithms Support Regression Vector (SVR) to improve the accuracy of load forecasting algorithms.

Using natural coagulants derived from available and popular plants ensures the quality of wastewater discharged, saving costs for businesses, environmentally friendly. SEM results show that surface of the material is rough with the multi-layered structure that increases the contact areas, deep holes with undefined shapes on materials will increase diffusion and absorption of dirty residues of different sizes. To investigate the effectiveness of textile wastewater treatment by dried Nopal Cactus powder, the Jartest model was used to identify the best parameters for handling color levels and chemical oxygen demand (COD) treatment of artificial wastewater sources. Jartest experiment identified the best values for removing color levels and COD: pH = 3, dried Nopal Cactus powder amount of 100mg/L, stirring velocity of 40 rpm; stirring time of 10 minutes. The efficiency of processing color levels and COD with the best parameters are 87.85% and 60.21%, respectively. Regarding the efficiency of processing textile wastewater, there shows an average color reduction efficiency (52.89%), low-level COD treatment (25.56%). Optimal result: with dyeing textile wastewater sample, the input COD value is 260 mg/L, the color level is 470Pt-Co. The experiment with 36 test modes is run by STAGRAPHIC XV software and analyzed by ANOVA combination of 2 variables COD and color levels, the results with the highest performance for the color level and COD are 77.07% and 59.11% respectively. The optimal pH value is 2.6, the amount of dried Nopal Cactus powder is 80 mg/L, stirring velocity is 40.0 rpm, the time is 8.2 minutes

Published: January 2022

The goal of the high-utility itemset mining task is to discover combinations of items that yield high profits from transactional databases. HUIM is a useful tool for retail stores to analyze customer behaviors. However, in the real world, items are found with both positive and negative utility values. To address this issue, we propose an algorithm named Modified Efficient High‐utility Itemsets mining with Negative utility (MEHIN) to find all HUIs with negative utility. This algorithm is an improved version of the EHIN algorithm. MEHIN utilizes 2 new upper bounds for pruning, named revised subtree and revised local utility. To reduce dataset scans, the proposed algorithm uses transaction merging and dataset projection techniques. An array‐based utility‐counting technique is also utilized to calculate upper‐bound efficiently. The MEHIN employs a novel structure called P-set to reduce the number of transaction scans and to speed up the mining process. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms considerably outperform the state-of-the-art HUI-mining algorithms on negative utility in retail databases in terms of runtime.

PRESERVING PRIVACY FOR PAGERANK ALGORITHM
Authors: Ngoc Le Tho Thi
Published: January 2022

Data mining has been emergingly applied in many fields to discover the knowledge from the huge data. To do that, information has been sent forward and backward among data owners, users, and maybe third parties. In this situation, it is necessary to design systems to exchange the data between the data owner, the client and third parties during data mining process without scarifying the sensitiveness of data. Hence, we need a privacy preserving mechanism while mining to protect the data as in the situation of sophisticated cyber-attack. In this work, we describe a model for ensuring the privacy in ranking on the graph using PageRank and Shamir Secure Sharing scheme. Specifically, Shamir Secure Sharing scheme has been applied to share the information of graph from the data owner to many servers (i.e. third party). Then, the share of graph on each server will be ranked separately. When the users need the results of ranking and make a request, the information from servers will be combined for the users. Doing this way, the third party doesn’t know the meaning of data but still run analyzing the data. Hence, data owner preserves the privacy of his data while users still retrieve a piece of the information as needed.
APPLICATION OF DISPLACEMENT ASSURANCE CRITERION USING DISPLACEMENT DATA FOR ASR-DETERIORATED GIRDER
Authors: Minh Ha Tuan , Fukada Saiji
Published: January 2022

This study focused on displacement data and proposed a displacement reliability evaluation index, DAC (Displacement Assurance Criterion), for assessing the overall rigidity of a structure. The DAC evaluation was applied to the results of the bending load tests of two prestressed concrete (PC) girders. One of the PC girders was affected by the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). In contrast, the other girder was kept at an inactive state by suppressing the ASR’s acceleration using fly ash concrete. The results show that the DAC index can express the difference between two displacement shapes with a single numerical value. Moreover, there is a correlation between the DAC index and the change in rigidity during the fracture process of each PC girder. Using the DAC value obtained by the loading test as a control value for displacement monitoring due to temperature change, DAC may be a method that can easily find abnormal values.
Chl1 helicase controls replication fork progression by regulating dNTP pools

Published: January 2022

Eukaryotic cells have evolved a replication stress response that helps to overcome stalled/collapsed replication forks and ensure proper DNA replication. The replication checkpoint protein Mrc1 plays important roles in these processes, although its functional interactions are not fully understood. Here, we show that MRC1 negatively interacts with CHL1, which encodes the helicase protein Chl1, suggesting distinct roles for these factors during the replication stress response. Indeed, whereas Mrc1 is known to facilitate the restart of stalled replication forks, we uncovered that Chl1 controls replication fork rate under replication stress conditions. Chl1 loss leads to increased RNR1 gene expression and dNTP levels at the onset of S phase likely without activating the DNA damage response. This in turn impairs the formation of RPA-coated ssDNA and subsequent checkpoint activation. Thus, the Chl1 helicase affects RPA-dependent checkpoint activation in response to replication fork arrest by ensuring proper intracellular dNTP levels, thereby controlling replication fork progression under replication stress conditions.
“Greenhouses and Workers’ Dormitories”: Migration from Central Asia and China to Rural Areas of the Southern Urals

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of migration from Asian countries on the rural areas of the Russian region using the example of the Chelyabinsk region. Addressing this problem allowed us to answer the following questions: what objects in rural areas are labeled as “migrant” and what are the assessments of this phenomenon by the public? Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural population decline is growing. Restricting international migration has shown that migrants are very important for the Russian agricultural sector. The decline in the population in rural areas of Russia, the deterioration of the ecological situation in the Central Asian region shows the need for research on migration to the countryside. There is a high probability that after the removal of several restrictions, we will see an increase in the migration flow to some areas of the countryside (greenhouses, workers' hostels, empty villages). For this study, we applied a set of ethnographic and ethno-sociological methods: participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and massive ethno-sociological survey conducted within the framework of the RFBR and Chelyabinsk region project “Asian vector of migration to the Chelyabinsk region: historical retrospective, forecasts and risks”. In total, during the project, 150 hours of included observation were implemented. In 2021, 49 in-depth interviews were collected with residents of the Chelyabinsk region and 37 with migrants from Central Asia. The sample of objects for observation and establishment of contacts with informants included: greenhouses for growing vegetables, garden associations, settlements in the study areas, rural shops, etc. The focus of xenophobic sentiments may shift from large cities to suburbs and villages, where new objects are being built, labeled as “migrants” (greenhouses, dormitories for migrants). "Chinese" greenhouses are no longer perceived as objects directly related to the presence of the Chinese, but are associated with migrants in general. Greenhouse complexes, where the main contingent is made up of migrants from the Central Asia, seem to be perceived as "Chinese" by inertia. All negative characteristics and parameters that were attributed to them are automatically extended to all greenhouses where there are “others”.
Ethnic Ties Between Buryats and Yakuts: Malǰirag˱ ~ Manǰirag˱ || Malˊdaγar (Malǰaγar) || Malljaγar

In this paper they are analyzed the ethnonyms known among the Buryats in the form of Manǰiraγ [Manǯirag˱], Malǰiraγ [Malǯirag˱] etc. (those are Manžirak, Manžirak in Russian spelling, “Manzir” in Russian documents of the 17th century), and among the Yakuts to be attested as Maldˊaγar. The Buryat forms reflected the original *Manǰi Uraγ or *Malǰi Uraγ, where attested in both cases the first element characterized by the development of complex -nǰ- > -lǰ-. The secondary form may be found also in mentioned Yakut Maldˊaγar that to be metathesised version of *Maldˊǝraχ < *Malǰiraγ, due to development of Mong. -raγ > Yak. *-raχ > -γar. So, it is possible to view here another Mongolic borrowing in the register of Yakut ethnonyms. The etymology of the original ethnonym was also analysed in the paper. The word is not based on roots such nor as Manču ~ Manǰu, that is the ethnic name of Manchu people, nor the from Buddhist lexicon word Bandi ‘novice, pupil of a lama’ (> Kalm. Manži), because of problems in chronology for possibility of any of such versions. So, it is of the possible the most optimal version seems to prefer the word analysed to be compared with known in Written Mongolian manǰi ‘an elk’. It may be to argue that the development -nǰ- > -lǰ- attested had made place already in the form of the word have not yet been a part of the ethnonym contracted. Among Tofalars it is known the tribal name Maldˊär < *Malǰi är ‘Malǰi people, people of Malǰi’,. It seems that among both Yakuts and Tofalars it is circulated the secondary form of the Mongolic name. The penetration of the word here had started before 17th century. And one can say also that not only the development -nǰ- > -lǰ- had its place to that time that supported by known among Yakuts personal name attested in Russian spelling as Malegar, i.e., *Maläγar [*Maljäγar], but it was also the Middle Mongolic /ǰ/ > Buryat */dz/ reflected in Russian spelling “Manzirskiy” found in documents of the 17th century.
The Selection, Promotion, and Reception of Translated Fiction in Wellington
Authors:   , Kafi Mohsen
Published: January 2022

This is the first systematic study of the selection, promotion, and reception of translated fiction anywhere in New Zealand. The study has two phases. The first draws on the responses of 277 adult readers in Wellington to a questionnaire about their perceptions of translated fiction. The findings reveal that most Wellington readers say they enjoy reading books set in other cultures, but their actual reading is largely English-language oriented. While some respondents expressed a specific interest in reading translated fiction, most prioritised genre and content. Age and ethnicity correlate only weakly with perceptions of translated fiction, but knowledge of one or more second languages is a strong predictor of positive perceptions of translated fiction. The second phase of the study draws on seven semi-structured interviews with representatives from three major book-related entities in Wellington: New Zealand Festival’s Writers Week, Wellington City Libraries (WCL), and Unity Books. The interviews provided first-hand insights into each entity’s policies and practices for selecting and promoting translated fiction. Although its past and current coordinators speak highly of translated literature, Wellington’s Writers Week has seen a significant decline in the number of non-English-speaking writers in the last two decades. Similarly, Unity Books claims to treat all categories of books, including translated fiction, equally, but its commercial practice in fact prioritises certain other categories. Wellington City Libraries, on the other hand, has taken a proactive approach to the promotion of translated fiction, for example through blogs and physical displays. Combined with the survey data, the interview findings demonstrate both the complex nature of reading choices and the challenges of advocating for the enhanced visibility of translated fiction in a largely monolingual context. However, many signs also point to a growing recognition of translated fiction as an important element of eclectic reading. This recognition can lead to positive changes in the future.

Tachyons, tactility, drawing and withdrawing: cinema at the speed of darkness
Authors: Brown William
Published: January 2022

Longitudinal, quantitative analyses of cinema have established how Hollywood is getting ‘quicker, faster, darker’. While in some senses the ‘intensified continuity’ of contemporary Hollywood narration is a given, the increased darkness of contemporary mainstream cinema remains unexplored – especially with regard to how its speed and its darkness might be inter-related. If to darken the majority of the screen during a film helps to draw our attention to the salient aspects of the image that are better illuminated, then of course this also allows for a faster cutting rate: in principle, there is ‘less’ information for the viewer to have to take in during each shot, meaning that the film can then cut to subsequent images more rapidly.

However, there are other ways in which we can interpret this ‘darkening’ of contemporary film narration. For example, it perhaps ties in with a widespread sense of disorientation with regard to the increasingly globalized and connected world that digitization has helped to bring about, and which is equally reflected in the rise of the contemporary ‘mind-game’ or ‘puzzle’ film that is a staple of contemporary Hollywood. The darkness in such films thus gives expression to uncertainty and disorientation.

More than this, though, we might use physics to understand the darkness of contemporary cinema in a more ‘meta-physical’ fashion. While it is accepted that light is the ‘fastest’ phenomenon in the known universe, there nonetheless remain unilluminated aspects of the physical universe that defy light as the limit of speed – and which convey the interconnected nature of matter in the contemporary universe. For example, polarized particles have been proven simultaneously to respond to stimuli – at a speed faster than it would take light to travel from one particle to the other, a phenomenon that baffled Albert Einstein, who referred to this process as ‘spooky action at a distance’. Not only does this process suggest what Karen Barad might refer to as the entangled nature of all matter, but it also suggests speeds beyond, or at least different, to that of light. In this essay, then, I shall theorise a ‘speed of darkness’ that can help us to understand how the darkening of contemporary cinema ties in with the interconnected, invisible (‘spooky’) and ultra-rapid nature of the digital world. Perhaps it is not in the light but in the darkness that we can identify the key to understanding contemporary mainstream cinema and the globalized, digital world that produces it.
The Universe-al Storytelling. Towards A ‘Spatial’ Narrative Model in Modern Comic Book Cinema
Authors: Żaglewski Tomasz
Published: January 2022

The aim of the article is to analyze modern superhero films through the specifics of superhero narratives in comics. By referring to the ‘organic’ elements of graphic super-storytelling – like retcon or crossover – the author tries to explain the main shift within comic book adaptations heading towards a ‘universe-al’ mode of narration. By doing so the analysis concentrates on the most succesful recent cases of superhero films as attempts to achieve a narrative ‘remediation’ of comic books’ spatial organization that requires reconsideration of the status of an individual superheroic franchise (or sub-franchise) within the larger universe of pre-existing, future and even alternate texts.
On the Margin of ”Satantango”. Some Remarks on Slow Cinema
Authors: Przylipiak Mirosław
Published: January 2022

Athough Satantango by Bela Tarr is usually regarded as a perfect representative of slow cinema and certainly deserves this reputation, it is worth remembering that it shares some features with other currents of modern cinema. Its networkish structure and unreliable narration place it close to puzzle films; its close affinity with the Krasznahorkai novel, on which it is based, makes it a form of impure – that is – hybrid cinema; due to an accumulation of evil deeds, tragic and sensational events, it resembles films of action. But, first of all, it is a paramount example of slow cinema, and as such it enables one to grasp the essential features of this genre. According to certain views, often built on the foundation of Andre Bazin theory, slow cinema imitates natural human perception and therefore is inherently realistic. This is not true, though. Instead of a reality effect, slow cinema produces rather a verfremdung effect, which in turn enhances the big potential of slow cinema in inducing transcendental or religious states in a viewer’s mind. Satantango explores this potential, drawing on the religious connotations of Krasznahorkai novel.
The Yugoslav imaginary of Marko Vidojkovic in the novel "E baš vam hvala"

Published: January 2022

Although it has not formally existed for over thirty years, Yugoslavia continues to be an attractive subject for literature. Against two dominant currents of prose orbiting the SFRY – the settlement and nostalgic one, Marko Vidojkovic’s novel E baš vam hvala stands out with its attempt to answer the question: what would Yugoslavia be like in 21st century if it had not fallen apart. In this article this alternative scenario is considered in the context of close literary genres: science fiction and alternative histories.

Update of the technical equipment of the grain-harvesting complex
Authors: Chemodanov S. I. , Burlakov Yu. V.
Published: January 2022

Many options have been developed for the implementation of the algorithm for updating the ﬂeet of grain harvesters to date. In accordance with the yield and other indicators, recommendations for the formation and renewal of the harvester ﬂeet are proposed discretely in the form of tables or charts.This form of information does not always meet the requirements of operational correction and does not allow assessing the technological capabilities of the harvesting units, depending on the harvesting conditions.The method to improve the formation of the initial information for operational decision-making on the eﬀective upgrading of technical means of grain harvesting complex taking into account the zonal features of a particular agricultural enterprise is proposed.A graph-analytical method for determining the main parameters of the basic harvesting tools depending on the predicted yield level is developed and the inﬂuence of the factors determining the composition of the grain harvesting ﬂeet is assessed.This method makes it possible to identify the most rational basic parameters of alternative basic harvesting tools for a speciﬁc agricultural enterprise.The ﬁrst step is to determine the basic parameters of the basic equipment, then select the appropriate size series of self-propelled threshers for combine harvesters and reapers.Further, alternative versions of various models of grain harvesting units and complexes are formed.For the subsequent selection of rational types of cleaning agents and their criterion assessment, technical and technological, environmental and other indicators are used.The expert-logical analysis of information resources makes it possible to identify and assess the factors that determine the quantitative composition of the technical means of the grain harvesting complex.The ﬁnal stage in the formation of the initial information for making a decision on updating the technical means of the grain harvesting complex should be their economic assessment, which makes it possible to predict the competitiveness of the threshed grain.

Published: January 2022

The results of tests of a new combined feed additive Bioprotektin-KD based on milk thistle extract with the addition of a complex of bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus and Biﬁdobacterium to restore intestinal microbiota of animals are presented. Preclinical studies on the eﬀectiveness of the feed additive were conducted on mice with experimental antibiotic-associated dysbacteriosis. Studies on the intestinal microbiota of mice revealed varying degrees of eﬀect of diﬀerent doses of feed additive on the recovery of resident microﬂora. The results of pre-clinical studies have proven the harmlessness, non-toxicity and eﬃcacy of the feed additive. Clinical trials of the additive were carried out on productive animals. Its eﬀect on the productivity of black-motley breed cows in a livestock farm in the Belgorod region was studied. The use of the functional feed additive Bioprotectin-KD had a positive eﬀect on the milk productivity of black-motley breed cows. Cows in the experimental groups that received the feed additive had increased their milk yield per lactation by 209.41-499.01 kg compared to the control animals, which was 4.01-8.78%. The quality indicators of milk have increased. The composition of the microﬂora of the experimental (feed supplement recipients) and control calves was studied. It was found that the quantitative composition of probiotic ﬂora in the intestines of young calves of the control group remained practically unchanged throughout the experiment. The number of indigeneous microﬂora (lactobacilli and biﬁdobacteria) increased in the experimental animals. The content of lactic acid microorganisms in the experimental calves began to increase on day 6 of feed supplementation and reached physiological norm on day 30. The safety index of the product has been calculated. The use of the functional feed additive Bioprotektin-KD in conditions of a livestock complex has improved such production indicators as calf survival, average daily weight gain, and milk productivity of cows in the experimental groups of animals as compared to the control ones.

Consideraciones sobre el factor de negociación en las tablas de homologación de avalúos inmobiliarios
Authors: Estrada Ornelas Leonardo Joaquín
Published: January 2022

El factor de negociación en las tablas de homologación de un avalúo comercial de un inmueble es un factor que busca considerar un descuento en función de una negociación comercial, en la medida que el inmueble presenta ciertas características de localización y de uso no habitacional, la experiencia nos invita a considerar un margen mayor en este factor que el de un inmueble habitacional en un mercado en expansión. El análisis realizado a una muestra no probabilística de 31 registros, obtenidos de fuentes primarias de transacciones inmobiliarias en las que el autor ha participado tiene como objetivo compartir esa experiencia mediante un análisis estadístico y en la clasificación de los casos, que permita enriquecer el criterio del factor de negociación para eventos similares. Se encuentra que el factor de negociación en todos los casos es muy superior al 10% utilizado de forma convencional como un caso extraordinario.

Published: January 2022

El giro que la educación ha tomado a partir de la pandemia, hizo necesario que se plantearan nuevas alternativas para dar seguimiento a los programas educativo. La respuesta de las Instituciones de Educación Superior fue priorizar el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación por medio de actividades en línea, convirtiéndose en tarea de los profesores universitarios adaptarse a este nuevo proceso; esto nos lleva a la necesidad de entender cómo se sienten al respecto. El objetivo de este artículo, es analizar la aceptación y uso de la tecnología en profesores universitarios, considerando la antigüedad o el género como factores determinantes. A partir de una metodología de corte cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental de alcance descriptivo y exploratorio, se utilizó la Teoría Unificada de Aceptación y Uso de la Tecnología (UTAUT) de Venkatesh et al., (2003), aplicando el cuestionario a 100 docentes. Los resultados permiten observar que los profesores universitarios muestran una aceptación positiva ante el uso de las tecnologías, pero si presentan Ansiedad, esto se comparó con la experiencia docente, encontrando que los profesores con más de 20 años de experiencia, reportaron valores más altos. Esto nos podría decir que, aunque se cuenta con soporte social e institucional, las dificultades ante el uso de la tecnología, podrían marcar la diferencia de usarlas o no. Aunque esta investigación es exploratoria, se sugiere considerar más variables y una muestra más alta para analizar si se repite esta tendencia.
