Because of ongoing climate change, drought is becoming the major factor limiting productivity of all plants, including legumes. As these protein-rich crops form symbiotic associations with rhizobial bacteria — root nodules — they readily lose their productivity under drought conditions. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms might give access to new strategies to preserve the productivity of legume crops under dehydration. As was shown recently, development of drought response is accompanied by alterations in the patterns of protein glycation and formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that might be a part of unknown regulatory mechanisms. Therefore, here we address the effects of moderate drought on protein dynamics and AGE patterns in pea (Pisum sativum) root nodules. For this, plants inoculated with rhizobial culture were subjected to osmotic stress for one week, harvested, the total protein fraction was isolated from root nodules by phenol extraction, analyzed by bottom-up LC-MS-based proteomics, and AGE patterns were characterized. Surprisingly, despite the clear drought-related changes in phenotype and stomatal conductivity, only minimal accompanying expressional changes (14 rhizobial and 14 pea proteins, mostly involved in central metabolism and nitrogen fixation) could be observed. However, 71 pea and 97 rhizobial proteins (mostly transcription factors, ABC transporters and effector enzymes) were glycated, with carboxymethylation being the major modification type. Thereby, the numbers of glycated sites in nodule proteins dramatically decreased upon stress application. It might indicate an impact of glycation in regulation of transport, protein degradation, central, lipid and nitrogen metabolism. The data are available at Proteome Xchange (accession: PXD024042).

Published: November 2021

Vitamins A and E are known as nutrients involved in metabolic processes and facilitating the adaptation of animals. The metabolism of these vitamins is closely related to lipid metabolism, which has seasonal variations in animals inhabiting northern latitudes. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations of retinol (vitamin A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E) in the cold season (October to February) in tissues of Canidae species that have different ecological characteristics: the blue fox (Vulpes syn. Alopex lagopus), silver fox (Vulpes vulpes), their interspecific hybrids (Vulpes×Vulpes), raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), and grey wolf (Canis lupus). In addition, age-related differences in the levels of these vitamins were determined. Results showed the distribution of retinol and α-tocopherol in the body of the canids was similar, with larger amounts being found in the liver and kidney cortex, which play a regulatory role in the metabolism of these nutrients. The higher retinol level in the liver of wolves and interspecific hybrids of blue fox and silver fox, as compared to the retinol level in the liver of other species, might be species-specific and could also be attributed to dietary differences. The blue fox and raccoon dog both have a higher capacity for α-tocopherol accumulation in the cold season, apparently due to their ability to store substantial fat reserves. Retinol and α-tocopherol levels were generally higher in the tissues of mature animals.
A biomechanical model to assess the injury risk of leopards (Panthera pardus) hunting by free falling from trees
Authors: Blanco Rudemar Ernesto , Luzardo-Vera Daniel Eduardo
Published: November 2021

Leopards have been observed to ambush prey by jumping down on it from trees. There are both anecdotal reports and video recordings of this hunting behavior. Here we conducted a biomechanical analysis of this technique to assess the degree of risk for the predator in such cases. We concluded that the risk of suffering severe injuries seems to be too high for this technique to be a usual way of predation on horned mammals such as male impalas. Our results can be useful in discussing proposed paleobiological hunting scenarios and living predators’ strategies of managing risks.
Diet affects body color and energy metabolism in the Baikal endemic amphipod Eulimnogammarus cyaneus maintained in laboratory conditions
Authors: Saranchina Alexandra , Drozdova Polina , Mutin Andrei , Timofeyev Maxim
Published: November 2021

Proper diet is critical for laboratory-reared animals, as it may affect not only their welfare, but also experimental results. Amphipods (Crustacea: Amphipoda) play important roles in ecosystems and are often used in environmental research. Endemic amphipods from the ancient Lake Baikal are promising for laboratory bioassays; however, there are currently no laboratory cultures. In this work, we determine how different diets affect the color and metabolism of a laboratory-reared Baikal amphipod, Eulimnogammarus cyaneus. We found that in freshly collected blue-colored animals, body color correlated with total carotenoid content. Total carotenoid levels did not differ after long-term (two months) feeding with a close to natural carotenoid-enriched, or even a carotenoid-depleted diet. Nevertheless, antennae color was closer to red in the natural-like diet group. It is likely that the carotenoids from the commercial diet are not properly metabolized in E. cyaneus. The animals fed commercial diets had a higher glycogen content, which may signify a higher metabolic rate. Overall, we show that a carotenoid-enriched diet optimized for decapods is not optimal for amphipods, likely due to different carotenoid compositions, and the diet for long-term rearing of E. cyaneus and other Baikal amphipods requires supplementation.
Application of neural network techniques to predict the heavy metals in acid mine drainage from South African mines
Authors: Kabuba John , Maliehe Andani Valentia
Published: November 2021

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is the formation and movement of highly acid water rich in heavy metals. Prediction of heavy metals in the AMD is important in developing any appropriate remediation strategy. This paper attempts to predict heavy metals in the AMD (Zn, Fe, Mn, Si and Ni) from South African mines using Neural Network (NN) techniques. The Backpropagation (BP) neural network model has three layers with the input layer (pH, SO42− and total dissolved solids (TDS)) and output layer (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn). After BP training, the NN techniques were able to predict heavy metals in AMD with a tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) at hidden layer with five neurons and linear transfer function (purelin) at output layer. The Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation (trainlm) algorithm was found as the best of 10 BP algorithms with mean-squared error (MSE) value of 0.00041 and coefficient of determination (R) for all (training, validation and test) value of 0.99984. The results indicate that NN can be considered as an easy and cost-effective technique to predict heavy metals in the AMD.
A mercantilização da educação superior no Brasil
Authors: Aparecida Ribeiro Diniz Juliane , Ferreira de Oliveira João , Da Costa Britto Pereira Lima Daniela
Published: November 2021

Este trabalho apresenta o processo histórico de mercadorização da educação superior no Brasil e a constituição do setor privado-mercantil nesse campo, enfatizando o momento hodierno de financeirização e de oligopolização. O estudo é resultado de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com ênfase na análise da legislação educacional de âmbito federal. Entende-se que o movimento de fusões, incorporações e aquisições de instituições de ensino superior tem proporcionado o crescimento do setor privado por meio da lógica do capital financeiro e da constituição de oligopólios, consubstanciando, em uma espécie de ‘fabricação’ e ‘venda’ da mercadoria ‘ensino superior’ e em uma transformação na forma como se estruturava a educação superior no país. Evidencia-se a tendência hegemônica de transnacionalização do capital no setor privado mercantil de educação superior, requerendo avaliação e discussão da contribuição desse setor para a formação cidadã e para o desenvolvimento científico, econômico e social do país.

Conclui-se que, embora eivado por limites e contradições, o processo de escolha de dirigentes escolares contribuiu para a edificação, no cotidiano escolar, de uma certa prática democrática que foi sendo reforçada com a criação dos conselhos escolares e com a elaboração do projeto político-pedagógico.
Santa María La Ribera, Santa María La Ratera y Santa Mari La Juarica: Momentos de un barrio proceso de gentrificación
Authors: Hernández Cordero Andrés
Published: November 2021

El objetivo del artículo es discutir las transformaciones que ha experimentado Santa María la Ribera en los últimos años, las cuales sugieren la existencia de un proceso de gentrificación. La aproximación metodológica se fundamenta en mi experiencia como habitante del vecindario, así como en el registro de los edificios para vivienda de reciente construcción. Los resultados corroboran la hipótesis inicial acerca del retorno de las clases medias y el desplazamiento de los sectores populares. Las principales limitaciones del trabajo se relacionan con las dificultades generadas por la pandemia de COVID-19 (como el acceso a bibliotecas y la suspensión del trabajo de campo). El valor de la investigación radica en que muestra las características (la verticalización y la mixtura social) del proceso de gentrificación en un barrio de la Ciudad de México. De acuerdo con los hallazgos, en Santa María la Ribera se vive un proceso de gentrificación liderado por el Estado, acompañado por empresarios inmobiliarios y demandado por las clases medias.
Female mascarons in the architecture of the Lviv secession
Authors: Kukil Lidiya
Published: November 2021

An important role in the formation of the architectural style of Lviv was played by the beginning of the twentieth century. As the capital of Galicia, which at that time belonged politically to the Austrian Empire, Lviv was strongly influenced by the Austrian Secession and the head of the Vienna School of Architecture O. Wagner. Nevertheless, Lviv architecture, to a certain extent, has preserved its originality and uniqueness. Secession is a phenomenon of the Lviv architecture of the early twentieth century. It determines the definition of sculptural decor as one of the main components of the “newest” artistic image of a building. Among the various types of plastic decoration, an important place is occupied by relief masks – mascarons, which are the most mysterious, attractive, and bizarre elements of the architecture of the Lviv Secession. The article notes the influence of various factors on the formation of new typological groups of mascarons not found in the architecture of previous eras. The artistic images of secession arise at the intersection of two key symbols and constant themes of art nouveau – eternal femininity and fabulous nature. In almost all cases, female mascarons are accompanied by plant motifs of the local flora.

Authors: Özel Özge
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the communication issues that monolingual English-speaking Mexican American children face to communicate with their monolingual Spanish-speaking Mexican grandmothers due to language and cultural loss. This study depicts 20 first-generation monolingual Spanish-speaking Mexican grandmothers’ perceptions and reflections of language and cultural loss for their third-generation monolingual English-speaking grandchildren. Interview questions focused on grandmothers’ attitudes, beliefs, and thoughts related to language and cultural loss and the implications of such on the intergenerational relationship. Results indicate grandmothers are concerned about their relationships which are inevitably affected by the language barrier and have caused cultural and language loss throughout generations with their grandchildren.

Authors: Ward Rebecca E , Setiawan I Made Agus , Quinby Eleanor , Fair Melva , Ambadar Zara , Parmanto Bambang , Dicianno Brad E
Published: November 2021

Background

Mobile health (mHealth) systems that support self-management can improve medical, functional, and psychosocial outcomes for individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions. The mHealth systems can potentially be expanded to support community integration.

Objective

The purposes of this study were to (1) partner with a community-based organization that supports community integration of individuals with disabilities; (2) identify software requirements needed to support community participation; and (3) iteratively refine an existing mHealth application to include new requirements.

Methods

Community Living and Support Services (CLASS), a nonprofit organization that serves individuals with disabilities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was identified as the focus group for this study. Key stakeholders within the Community Partners Program at CLASS proposed design requirements for an existing mHealth application, Interactive Mobile Health and Rehabilitation (iMHere) 2.0, that has been used to support self-management.

Results

We gathered qualitative data from a focus group composed of CLASS members to develop and iteratively revise iMHere 2.0 to include new modules and features to support community integration. A caregiver app was also developed. The new system contains features to support finance, transportation, client and caregiver communication, calendar and checklist management, upcoming medical and nonmedical appointments, social engagement, pain management, and access to a personal profile. Modifications were made to the following existing modules: education, mood, personal health record, goals, medications, and nutrition.

Conclusions

A successful partnership with a community-based organization that supports individuals with disabilities resulted in a newly designed mHealth system with features to support community integration.
Formative Study of Mobile Phone Use for Family Planning Among Young People in Sierra Leone: Global Systematic Survey (Preprint)
Authors: Chukwu Emeka , Gilroy Sonia , Addaquay Kojo , Jones Nki Nafisa , Karimu Victor Gbadia , Garg Lalit , Dickson Kim Eva
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Teenage pregnancy remains high with low contraceptive prevalence among adolescents (aged 15-19 years) in Sierra Leone. Stakeholders leverage multiple strategies to address the challenge. Mobile technology is pervasive and presents an opportunity to reach young people with critical sexual reproductive health and family planning messages.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this research study are to understand how mobile health (mHealth) is used for family planning, understand phone use habits among young people in Sierra Leone, and recommend strategies for mobile-enabled dissemination of family planning information at scale.

METHODS

This formative research study was conducted using a systematic literature review and focus group discussions (FGDs). The literature survey assessed similar but existing interventions through a systematic search of 6 scholarly databases. Cross-sections of young people of both sexes and their support groups were engaged in 9 FGDs in an urban and a rural district in Sierra Leone. The FGD data were qualitatively analyzed using MAXQDA software (VERBI Software GmbH) to determine appropriate technology channels, content, and format for different user segments.

RESULTS

Our systematic search results were categorized using Grading of Recommended Assessment and Evaluation (GRADE) into communication channels, audiovisual messaging format, purpose of the intervention, and message direction. The majority of reviewed articles report on SMS-based interventions. At the same time, most intervention purposes are for awareness and as helpful resources. Our survey did not find documented use of custom mHealth apps for family planning information dissemination. From the FGDs, more young people in Sierra Leone own basic mobile phones than those that have feature capablilities or are smartphone. Young people with smartphones use them mostly for WhatsApp and Facebook. Young people widely subscribe to the social media–only internet bundle, with the cost ranging from 1000 leones (US $0.11) to 1500 leones (US $0.16) daily. Pupils in both districts top-up their voice call and SMS credit every day between 1000 leones (US $0.11) and 5000 leones (US $0.52).

CONCLUSIONS

mHealth has facilitated family planning information dissemination for demand creation around the world. Despite the widespread use of social and new media, SMS is the scalable channel to reach literate and semiliterate young people. We have cataloged mHealth for contraceptive research to show SMS followed by call center as widely used channels. Jingles are popular for audiovisual message formats, mostly delivered as either push or pull only message directions (not both). Interactive voice response and automated calls are best suited to reach nonliterate young people at scale.

Perovskites are the materials or compounds having a structure similar to calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3). These materials possess the basic structure of ABX3, in which A & B are the cations with +1 and +2 electron vacancy and X is an anion which may be either halogen or oxygen. Perovskites are chiefly being used in solar cells in the photo absorbing layer for solar to electrical energy conversion with relatively high efficiencies, besides their use in LEDs, photodetectors, X-ray detectors, lasers etc. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of Perovskite solar cell (PSC) has increased from 10% in the year 2012 to 29.1% in 2020 and are promising to cross the theoretical maximum (Shockley-Queisser) limit of 33% for conventional silicon solar cells, besides having great thermal and mechanical stability values. Toxicity due to the presence of lead and associated instability of PSCs have led to the intensive research in lead-free perovskite solar cells (LF-PSCs). In this review article we have tried to explore the current status of synthesis, properties and applications of perovskites in PSCs,particularly lead-free perovskites, and will suggest future prospects in this widely attracted field of non-conventional energy generation.

DVR Transient Analysis with Saturated Iron-Core Superconducting Fault Current Limiter
Authors: Kumar D.Y. Kiran
Published: November 2021

Abstract: The saturated iron-core super conducting fault current limiter exceeds all other fault current limiters in terms of technical performance. Based on the real structure, magnetic structures have been proposed. Simulated current limiting inductance was calculated using the Newton iteration method and the fundamental magnetization curve. Sagging and soaring current levels occurred frequently during the faulting process. Short circuits and voltage fluctuations are two of the most typical grid-related issues.. The use of the SISFCL and DVR in this project resulted in a reduction in the amount of fault current and voltage variation. With the help of Matlab/Simulink and theoretical insights from previous research, we were able to construct an electromagnetic transient simulation model. The transient behavior of these devices during simulation tests demonstrates the accuracy and validity of the suggested strategy. Keywords: Analysis of transient electromagnetic waves in a saturated iron core using a Newton iteration method. Fault current limiter (SISFCL), dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), pulse width modulation (PWM)

Published: November 2021

El objeto del presente trabajo es analizar las inmunidades soberanas –de jurisdicción y de ejecución– que gozan los Estados y sus entidades ante litigios, arbitrajes y ejecución de sentencias extranjeras o laudos arbitrales. Se determinarán cuáles son los criterios normativos y jurisprudenciales, locales e internacionales, bajos los cuales estas inmunidades han sido aplicadas, pretendiendo responder las siguientes interrogantes: (i) cuándo es posible demandar a un Estado ante un tribunal fuera de su dominio; (ii) qué bienes de un Estado son pasibles de ejecución en otros Estados; (iii) qué diferencias existen cuando en las dos situaciones anteriores no es el Estado el sujeto demandado, sino una entidad o empresa estatal. Sobre este último punto también se analizará qué sucede cuando se pretende ejecutar bienes de estas entidades por laudos o sentencias dictadas en contra del Estado al que pertenecen.

Published: November 2021

Most of our reading practices have moved from print-based to online texts, which integrate not only linguistic expression but various images, sounds, other meaning making elements, therefore the reader's engagement with the text has changed as well. While reading multimodal texts, the reader has to construct the meaning out of different modes of representation. The complexity of such texts and the way the second language learners read and construct their meaning are important for educators. Thus, the article aims at revealing the readers' viewpoints of reading multimodal texts by evaluating language users’ practices of reading print and online texts and determining their own participation and self-expression on social websites. The survey results demonstrated that readers mostly get news from online sources on the Internet, they also listen to the radio, and read the print version of news too. The research results confirmed that the text layout causes changes in reading habits and may raise difficulties in getting the main idea, grasping the meaning of images. While reading multimodal texts, the research participants prefer to stay passive and as social media users they remain not very active as well.
Framework for CLIL materials for Russian heritage language learners
Authors:   Hokkaido University, Japan, Savinykh Anna
Published: November 2021

The increasing number of immigrants made heritage language learning a crucial issue of 21-st century education. The neediness for an effective educational approach in this field leaded to CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). CLIL materials are high-contextualized by age, skills, language, subject content, etc. So, teachers ought to become materials designers to provide their learners with an effective tool of learning. Usually, teachers did not specifically train for materials design. Thus, easy-to-use framework for materials is essential to provide high-quality materials. This article provides a framework for CLIL materials design for Russian heritage language learners. The framework is based on the main materials design principles, heritage learners` pedagogical needs, and CLIL-specific materials design principles. It is written in the easy-to-use form of a checklist. The checklist has seven sections and 32 questions. The framework may be used in different contexts of teachers from different countries who use CLIL to teach the Russian heritage language.
Rethinking Language Education policy in the Context of Multilingual/ Multicultural English
Authors:   Pazmany Peter Catholic University, Budapest, Hungary, Rahal Aicha
Published: November 2021

Globalization has brought about a phenomenal spread of English. This spread has led to the emergence of the newborn varieties which has created serious challenges to language teaching pedagogy and language education policy. Bangbose (2003) has clearly pointed to this issue, stating “as researchers in world Englishes, we cannot consider our job done if we turn a blind eye to the problems of educational failure or unfavorable language policy outcomes” (as cited in the Council of Europe, 2007, p. 31). It seems that there is a mismatch between the advances that happened in the field of applied linguistics and language education policy. This paper focuses on language education policy in the context of global English because it is considered one of the influential factors in the gap between English lingua franca reality and English as a native language. First, it gives a brief overview of the recent situation with regard to English and shows the recent reality of multilingual English and its multifarious aspect (Rahal, 2018 & 2019). It also discusses the conceptual gap in language education policy. It points to the conceptual gap between the sociolinguistic reality of English and the language education policy that is still oriented towards English as a native language. Then, the paper points to the need for a language policy that includes linguistic diversity.
Religious policy of Sultan Abdul-Hamid II in the Syrian vilayets of the Ottoman Empire (1876-1909): methods and symbols
Authors: Zhantiev Dmitry Rustemovich
Published: November 2021

The author examines the religious and political course of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1909), aimed at strengthening the unity of the Ottoman state and society based on the principles of Islam, and the implementation of this strategy in the Syrian provinces of the Ottoman Empire. The research is based on reports of contemporaries, as well as research works in Russian and English. Particular attention is paid to the strategic role of Ottoman Syria (including Lebanon and Palestine) in the context of strengthening the religious authority of the Sultan as the caliph of all Muslims and recruiting prominent ideologues and supporters of Islamic traditionalism from the Syrian vilayets to serve the Sultan. The author especially examines the role of wo representatives of the Muslim intellectual elite: the Sufi sheikh Abu-l-Huda al-Sayyadi as a close associate of the Sultan who provided patronage to the conservative ulama, as well as Ahmad Izzet Pasha al-Abid, who became the main inspirer of the Hejaz Railway. The article also reveals the features of the state policy towards religious minorities (both Muslim and non-Muslim) and migration processes in the Syrian provinces. With the weakening of the international positions of the Ottoman Empire and the strengthening of foreign interference, Syria set an example of relatively successful modernization based on Islamic tradition. At the same time, confessional identity continued to dominate over ethnicity, and the emerging feelings of Arab and Syrian patriotism did not conflict with the principle of Islamic unity of the subjects of the Sultan-Caliph.
Calculation of integrals in MathPartner
Authors: Malaschonok Gennadi I. , Seliverstov Alexandr V.
Published: November 2021

We present the possibilities provided by the MathPartner service of calculating definite and indefinite integrals. MathPartner contains software implementation of the Risch algorithm and provides users with the ability to compute antiderivatives for elementary functions. Certain integrals, including improper integrals, can be calculated using numerical algorithms. In this case, every user has the ability to indicate the required accuracy with which he needs to know the numerical value of the integral. We highlight special functions allowing us to calculate complete elliptic integrals. These include functions for calculating the arithmetic-geometric mean and the geometric-harmonic mean, which allow us to calculate the complete elliptic integrals of the first kind. The set also includes the modified arithmetic-geometric mean, proposed by Semjon Adlaj, which allows us to calculate the complete elliptic integrals of the second kind as well as the circumference of an ellipse. The Lagutinski algorithm is of particular interest. For given differentiation in the field of bivariate rational functions, one can decide whether there exists a rational integral. The algorithm is based on calculating the Lagutinski determinant. This year we are celebrating 150th anniversary of Mikhail Lagutinski.

Raksta mērķis ir sniegt ieskatu galvenajās Latvijas PSR rūpniecības attīstības iezīmēs un problēmās pēckara gados, ilustrējot to ar vienas no republikas rūpniecības “šaurajām vietām” – būvmateriālu ražošanas nozares – piemēru. Pētījumā, kas kļuva par pamatu šīs publikācijas tapšanai, balstoties uz arhīva materiāliem, tika apzināta Latvijas PSR tautsaimniecības struktūra un tās atjaunošanas procesi no Otrā pasaules kara beigām līdz 1953. gadam, šim mērķim padziļināti izpētot vienu no tās nozarēm – būvmateriālu rūpniecību, īpašu uzmanību pievēršot ražošanas procesam, ražotajai produkcijai un galvenajiem darbības rādītājiem. Pētījuma rezultāti parāda – lai gan būvmateriālu ražošanai bija piešķirta stratēģiskā nozīme un tā bija strauji jāattīsta, realitātē tās stāvoklis pētāmajā laika posmā bija prioritārai tautsaimniecības nozarei neatbilstošs.

Nozīmīgākā galēji kreisā PSRS atbalstītā organizācija starpkaru Latvijā bija Latvijas Komunistiskā partija (LKP). Tā kā komunistiskām organizācijām Latvijā legāli darboties bija aizliegts, LKP darbojās pagrīdē. Lai vairotu savu ietekmi sabiedrībā, LKP iefiltrējās legālās biedrībās, kā arī dibināja formāli patstāvīgas organizācijas, kas bija politiski atkarīgas no LKP. Rakstā sniegts ieskats LKP satelītorganizāciju darbībā 20. gadsimta 20. gados, izmantojot Rīgas Arodbiedrību centrālbiroja (RABCB) piemēru. RABCB visos tā darbības virzienos vērsās pret pastāvošo valsts iekārtu, iestājās par radikāliem risinājumiem sociālajā un politiskajā jomā un ciešiem sakariem ar PSRS. LKP ar RABCB starpniecību nodrošināja pieeju plašākām sabiedrības aprindām, kas deva iespēju dažādos veidos izvērst nelegālās organizācijas propagandu.
Sarežģītais pagātnes mantojums Latvijā: ieskats Otrā pasaules kara piemiņas vietās Rēzeknē (1945–1991)
Authors: Strods Kaspars
Published: November 2021

Otrais pasaules karš kļuva par lielāko militāro konfliktu cilvēces vēsturē. Tas prasīja desmitiem miljonu cilvēku dzīvību un atstāja paliekošas sekas līdz mūsdienām. Lai gan ir pagājuši vairāk nekā 70 gadi kopš kara beigām, par tā laika traģiskajiem notikumiem Latvijas teritorijā šodien mums atgādina vairāki simti piemiņas vietu (pieminekļi, memoriāli u. c.). Arī Rēzeknē laika gaitā ir izveidotas vairākas piemiņas vietas, kuras veltītas gan Padomju Savienības, gan nacistiskās Vācijas totalitāro režīmu upuru piemiņai. Publikācijas mērķis ir sniegt ieskatu konkrēto piemiņas vietu izveidē, to vēsturiskajā attīstības procesā, kā arī nozīmi mūsdienās.
Zviedru karaspēka apgāde Vidzemē 1700. gada nogalē un 1701. gada pirmajā pusē
Authors: Žagata Mikus
Published: November 2021

Rakstā apskatīta Vidzemes provinces (Livland) lokālās un Zviedrijas karalistes centrālās administrācijas veiktie organizatoriskie pasākumi provincē izvietoto bruņoto vienību apgādei ar nepieciešamajiem resursiem kaujas spēju nodrošināšanai 1700. gada nogalē un 1701. gada pirmajā pusē. Pētījumā tika noskaidrots, ka zviedru armijas uzturēšana šajā laika posmā sākumā bija sarežģīta un negatīvi ietekmēja visas provinces ekonomisko situāciju. Tas liek kritiski pārvērtēt zaudējumu apjomu, kuru 1701. gada otrās puses un 1702. gada sirojumu laikā bija spējīgs nodarīt krievu karaspēks, par ko tik ļoti savā vēstulē Pēterim I lielījās grāfs Šeremetjevs.

Resultados: La revision bibliográfica incluyó estudios experimentales, prospectivos y de cohorte, un 38,4% realizados en Turquía y 15,3% en Estados Unidos. En un 76,9% de las investigaciones, el uso de realidad virtual fue eficaz en la disminución de la percepción del dolor. Conclusiones: el uso de realidad virtual durante la venopunción es una intervención de distracción efectiva que reduce significativamente la percepción del dolor autoinformado en niños/as y adolescentes entre 4 y 19 años, obteniendo menor puntuación en escalas del dolor, en comparación con grupos al que no se les aplicó la realidad virtual.
PROPOSTA DE AVALIAÇÃO DE LIVROS E CAPÍTULOS DE LIVROS NA ÁREA 21 DA CAPES
Authors: Ugrinowitsch Carlos , Corrêa Umberto Cesar , Tani Go
Published: November 2021

O objetivo deste estudo foi propor um modelo de avaliação qualitativa de livros e capítulos de livros com base na percepção da comunidade de docentes da Área 21 da Capes sobre o prestígio das editoras. Noventa orientadores de programas de pós-graduação das diferentes regiões do país responderam a um questionário de avaliação da percepção do prestígio das editoras científicas. A partir do valor da percepção de prestígio, as editoras internacionais (N = 69) e nacionais (N = 97) foram ordenadas e classificadas em decis. Após, propusemos um sistema de classificação de livros e capítulos de livros de oito níveis considerando dois critérios: a) editora internacional ou nacional; e b) decil de cada editora. Os níveis de L1 a L4 referem-se às editoras internacionais (da maior para a menor percepção de qualidade), e os níveis de L5 a L8, às nacionais (da maior para a menor percepção de qualidade).
PRIMÓRDIOS DA IOGA NO BRASIL, c. 1910-1920
Authors: Dias Andrea Calazans Rocha , Dias Cleber Augusto Gonçalves
Published: November 2021

Apesar da relativa relevância social da ioga no Brasil, há poucos trabalhos acadêmicos sobre a sua história. A maior parte do material disponível sobre o assunto foi produzido por praticantes, com caráter memorialístico, em fontes frequentemente dispersas. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a história da ioga no Brasil por meio de jornais e revistas disponíveis no acervo digital da Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro. Essas fontes indicam que a difusão e a prática da ioga no país se iniciaram antes de 1950, período geralmente apontado como marco para esse processo. Além disso, as ambiguidades que marcam os significados dessa prática no Brasil, tal como acontece em vários outros países, são produtos da própria maneira como evoluiu historicamente seu processo de difusão e recepção.
Climate-related financial risks as a governance challenge: An inclusive international public policy proposal
Authors: von Borowski Dodl Alessandra
Published: November 2021

This study focuses on climate-related financial risks as a governance issue, which drives our attention to the quality of stakeholders’ interactions. The theoretical approach is undertaken through the institutional literature lens, along with the works of Rawls (1971, 2001) and Sen (1992, 2000, 2009), and contributions from the conceptions of co-creation and inclusive development. The applied analysis is carried out by connecting climate change to financial risks under a scenario of uncertainty (Bolton, Despres, Pereira da Silva, Samama, & Svartzman, 2020; TCFD, 2017; Daniel, Litterman, & Wagner, 2019; Carney, 2016; Maier et al., 2016; NGFS, 2018, 2019). The core objective of this study is to present a public policy proposal that aims to support effective international climate-related agreements, from a procedural perspective. To this end, we start by presenting an institution, which is broken down into three propositions. This process enables us to undertake a critical analysis from a technical and normative standpoint. The latter is based on Bush (1987). The main contribution of this study is the rationale underlying that the best set of policies to face climate change issues is that representing agents’ strong engagement and commitment. Finally, although the applied analysis focuses on climate change issues, the discussion conducted here can be reproduced in other areas.

Existence and long-time behavior of solutions to the velocity-vorticity-Voigt model of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with damping and memory
Authors: Toan Nguyen
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we study the long-time dynamical behavior of the
non-autonomous velocity-vorticity-Voigt model of the 3D Navier-Stokes
equations with damping and memory. We first investigate the existence
and uniqueness of weak solutions to the initial boundary value problem
for above-mentioned model. Next, we prove the existence of uniform
attractor of this problem, where the time-dependent forcing term $f
\in L^2_b(\mathbb{R};
H^{-1}(\Omega))$ is only translation bounded
instead of translation compact. The results in this paper will extend
and improve some results in Yue, Wang (Comput. Math. Appl., 2020) in the
case of non-autonomous and contain memory kernels which have not been
studied before.
Le discariche dei rifiuti solidi urbani: evoluzione normativa, criteri di progettazione e tecnologie per il recupero e la valorizzazione del biogas
Authors: PALOMBA GIOSUE'
Published: November 2021

La tematica approfondita riguarda i rifiuti solidi urbani, il loro
smaltimento negli impianti predisposti, ovvero discariche controllate,
la normativa afferente ed il recupero energetico. Tali tematiche
rappresentano un problema molto importante per l’impatto che hanno
sull’ecosistema. La problematica è dovuta agli elementi che si creano
nell’impianto, come biogas e percolato, i quali devono essere
controllati per evitare emissioni nell’ambiente circostante. Il seguente
elaborato ha come obiettivo lo studio e l’analisi di un impianto per lo
smaltimento dei rifiuti e le normative ad esso collegate, al fine di
individuare il progresso delle già menzionate leggi negli anni e le
procedure attuabili per la captazione del biogas. Lo studio prevede un
percorso basato sulla ricerca e confronto di dati, partendo da
un’analisi dei rifiuti che arrivano all’impianto fino ad arrivare alle
tecnologie che lo rappresentano. Dopodiché verrà realizzato un modello
virtuale con l’utilizzo di un software, ed un plastico in scala al fine
di descriverlo al meglio. Mediante tali strumenti possiamo far emergere
lo scopo dell’elaborato, ovvero quello di evidenziare come un corretto
smaltimento dei rifiuti, nel rispetto delle norme, può portare ad una
diminuzione delle problematiche legate alle discariche. Dal lavoro
svolto, inoltre, si è individuata l’importanza delle tecnologie
esistenti negli impianti, in grado di proteggere l’ambiente e
riutilizzare i prodotti come nel caso del biogas.
The right expression of the equivalent integral equation and non-uniqueness of solution of impulsive fractional order system
Authors: Zhang Xianmin , Liu Zuohua , Peng Zuming , He Yali , Ye Faqiang
Published: November 2021

The fractional derivatives are not equal for different expressions of
the same piecewise function, which caused that the equivalent integral
equations of impulsive fractional order system (IFrOS) proposed in
existing papers are incorrect. Thus we reconsider two generalized IFrOSs
that both have the corresponding impulsive Caputo fractional order
system and the corresponding impulsive Riemann-Liouville fractional
order system as their special cases, and discover that their equivalent
integral equations are two integral equations with some arbitrary
constants, which reveal the non-uniqueness of solution of the two
generalized IFrOSs. Finally, two numerical examples are offered for
explaining the non-uniqueness of solution to the two generalized IFrOSs.
