Authors: Pereira Maysa Mathias Alves , Morais Ludmila Caproni , Martins Adalvan Daniel , Luz José Magno Queiroz , Pasqual Moacir , Oliveira Roberta Camargos , Dória Joyce
Published: March 2021

Although the demand for organic fertilizers in agriculture is growing, it remains incipient in some production sectors, such as medicinal plant production, which does not possess specific technology for its development. Solid residues are highly contaminant to water sources, soil, populations and biodiversity but can potentially be used to produce organic composts and vermicompost, such production not only enables nutrient recycling but also acts on soil conditioning, increasing soil organic matter and improving its physical, chemical and biological characteristics, as well as strengthening organic production with an emphasis on medicinal plant production. In this context, recommendations for and applications of organic fertilizers available in the market were reviewed; in addition, the imminent socioeconomic demand for organic compost and vermicompost production was contextualized based on residues from coffee and sugarcane production and cattle farming for application to the medicinal plant production chain. It is concluded that although these sectors produce a considerable amount of residues, they are not being reused in formulation of organic composts and vermicompost, and commercial organic fertilizers recommended for medicinal plant production were not found. Thus, the formulation of vermicomposting and composting from the reuse of agricultural residues, are potential social, economic technologies and tools to be valued and disseminated to traditional and family farmers.

Published: March 2021

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the salinization process and the changes in the chemical properties of an Acrisol cultivated with melon irrigated with water of different saline concentrations. The experiment was carried out in the field conditions using the experimental design of randomized blocks, arranged in split-plot. The plots were composed of salinity levels of irrigation water, expressed in terms of water electrical conductivity (ECw): 0.54; 1.48; 2.02 dS m-1; and the sub-plots for melon cultivars: Sancho and Medellín (Toad Skin), Mandacaru (Yellow), Nectar (Galia) and Sedna (Cantaloupe). Soil samples were collected at the beginning and end of the crop cycle to evaluate the changes in the physical-chemical properties of the soil. The electrical conductivity of saturation extract in the soil profile varied for each cultivar, observing high salinity values in soils with cultivars with lower water demand (Sedna and Nectar). The salinity of the soil was lower than the electrical conductivity of the irrigation water in the treatments with high values of ECw. The soil pH values showed little reaction in relation to the initial values. The exchangeable sodium percentage values were approximate twice the sodium adsorption ratio of the saturation stratum.

O crescimento da população urbana no Brasil deve continuar até 2050, afetando a relação entre os habitantes e as áreas verdes urbanas, cuja vegetação oferece benefícios ao ambiente e à saúde humana. Essas áreas devem ser conservadas e podem ser monitoradas utilizando técnicas e indicadores de medição e distribuição, relacionando sua área e cobertura vegetal (CV) com a população urbana. O estudo mediu e avaliou a distribuição da CV de Áreas Verdes Públicas (AVPs) da cidade de Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram utilizadas uma ortofotografia e o software AutoCad(R) para a medição da CV e foram calculados e classificados os índices de AVP e CV-AVP para cidade e bairros. Analisou-se a relação de CV com a área da AVP e o zoneamento urbano e dos índices com a idade dos bairros. A proporção de CV é inconstante para a área de AVP e zonas urbanas mais populosas apresentaram menor CV. Nos bairros as AVPs que possuem tamanho recomendado não apresentaram CV satisfatória e a maioria dos índices foram nulos. As AVPs não têm sido mantidas com predomínio de CV, indicando limitação dos serviços ecológicos da vegetação para a população urbana. Portanto, é preciso alternativas de espaços verdes em regiões antigas e sem AVPs, conservar AVPs com CV satisfatória e reflorestar as que possuem CV insatisfatória. A CV urbana foi medida em uma ortofotografia de 0,1 pixel/cm, indicando índices de AVP e CV-AVP e o mapa de distribuição da CV de AVPs como ferramentas adequadas e de baixo custo para o planejamento urbano, visando os serviços ambientais que a vegetação oferece à população.
Corrosion in Crude Oil Distillation Unit Overhead: A recent Case Study
Authors: Ahmed Ari A.
Published: March 2021

Despite all the technological advances and the control mechanisms that exist today to achieve the control of corrosion in overhead systems in atmospheric crude oil distillation units, there is still a high level of difficulty in predicting the phenomenon due to the complexity of the chemical compounds involved in the entire process. The study of this practical case aims to determine what control mechanisms should be optimized in a refinery located in the Autonomous Region of Iraqi Kurdistan to prevent corrosion phenomena’s in this specific system and how it should be done to achieve these improvements. It has been suggested that the corrosion mechanisms by hydrochloric acid and by ammonium chloride have been those that have acted in the operational context of the mentioned facility. To test this hypothesis, a study of the unit’s operational conditions and analytical tests were carried out on the construction material of various components and the products (sediments) found inside the tower. The results show that a lack of control in the salts and sediments content of the feed crude have caused an increase in the hydrolysis process of certain components upstream of the tower and thus the generation of acids and salts was promoted. On this basis, it is necessary to optimize the primary treatment of crude oil and update the chemical treatments and washing water systems to adapt to the new conditions of the feed of the refinery.

Authors: Villanueva Blasco Víctor José , Cruz Martínez Araceli , Eslava Pérez Dalila , Valdivia-Salas Sonsoles
Published: March 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar si la inflexibilidad psicológica actúa como variable predictora de la agresividad en una muestra de adolescentes, considerando la perspectiva de género. Se trata de una investigación novedosa dado que no existe literatura sobre la relación entre ambas variables, y la inflexibilidad psicológica apenas ha sido estudiada en población adolescente. Para ello se diseñó un estudio descriptivo transversal en el que han participado 499 estudiantes de educación Secundaria, de entre 12 y 16 años. Los resultados muestran la relevancia que tiene la inflexibilidad psicológica en la manifestación de la agresividad, aportando resultados interesantes con respecto a los conocidos hasta ahora en población adulta. Aunque requiere de mayor investigación, las aplicaciones que puedan tener estos hallazgos son relevantes en los distintos niveles de trabajo del psicólogo en Atención Primaria, tanto en aspectos preventivos como en la intervención psicoterapéutica con adolescentes o grupos de adolescentes con manifestaciones clínicas de conducta agresiva.

Authors: Sitges Maciá Esther , Bonete López Beatriz
Published: March 2021

En el presente trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos de la evaluación realizada del estado cognitivo, funciones ejecutivas, estado emocional y de salud de 128 personas sanas mayores de 55 años (37 hombres y 91 mujeres) que acuden a Programas Universitarios para Mayores (PUM). El objetivo del estudio ha sido conocer el estado cognitivo, emocional y de salud de personas mayores sanas que participan en PUM y que incorporen en sus conductas de prevención de salud revisiones periódicas en estas áreas. La media de edad de los participantes fue de 65,4 años. Los resultados mostraron que el 9,37% de los participantes tenía algún tipo de alteración mnésica evaluada a través del MIS y un 18,75% tenía alteraciones en las funciones ejecutivas evaluadas con el Test del Reloj. Los resultados obtenidos en esta muestra señalan que las variables relacionadas con el estado cognitivo y la edad no son independientes, observándose una mayor proporción de personas con deterioro cognitivo en el grupo de personas de más edad. Estos resultados son concordantes con los obtenidos en estudios en este ámbito, aunque se hace necesario seguir estudiando dicha relación en población cognitivamente activa como es el caso de esta muestra.
La pericial psicológica en los procesos de nulidad matrimonial canónica.
Authors: Bobes Bascarán Mª Teresa , García Montagud Jorge
Published: March 2021

La nulidad canónica es aquella que declara que nunca existió un matrimonio porque desde el inicio estaba incurso en una de las causas de nulidad tal y como recoge el Código de Derecho Canónico (CDC). Principalmente existen tres causas de invalidez: la operación de un impedimento dirimente, el defecto o vicio de consentimiento y el defecto de forma. Actualmente, casi 9 de cada 10 causas que inician el proceso se refieren a incapacidad psicopatológica. Éstas vienen recogidas en el canon 1095: carencia de suficiente uso de razón, grave defecto de discreción de juicio acerca de los derechos y deberes esenciales del matrimonio e incapacidad para asumir las obligaciones esenciales del matrimonio por causas de naturaleza psíquica. La evaluación pericial canónica comparte gran parte de la metodología empleada en otros campos de actuación forense, como el estudio de los Autos, la entrevista psicobiográfica y la información complementaria obtenida mediante la administración de pruebas psicométricas. Sin embargo, existe un tipo de informe, el Voto sobre los autos, que es una figura legal que se contempla exclusivamente en el Derecho Procesal Canónico.

Published: March 2021

Background: Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a state of systemic inflammatory activation by various causes. SIRS have a high mortality rate. Prolactin is known to regulate cellular function of immune system.  Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is simple, cost effective and easy parameter that currently used as inflammation marker.Objective: The aims of this study is to determine the correlation between prolactin serum with NLR in SIRS patients.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 50 clinically SIRS patients. Prolactin serum was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and NLR was calculated manually from absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte count measured by automatic hematology analyzer. Non-parametric Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between prolactin with NLR.Results: Median value of serum prolactin level was 11.32 ng/mL (2.76-194.81), whereas the mean value NLR was 16.36 ± 11.58. The correlation between prolactin levels with NLR was r = 0.345, p = 0.014.Conclusion: There is a weak positive significant correlation between prolactin with neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in SIRS
Accelerating truss decomposition on heterogeneous processors
Authors: Che Yulin , Lai Zhuohang , Sun Shixuan , Wang Yue , Luo Qiong
Published: March 2021

Truss decomposition is to divide a graph into a hierarchy of subgraphs, or trusses. A subgraph is a
k
-truss (
k
≥ 2) if each edge is in at least
k
--- 2 triangles in the subgraph. Existing algorithms work by first counting the number of triangles each edge is in and then iteratively incrementing
k
to peel off the edges that will not appear in (
k
+ 1)-truss. Due to the data and computation intensity, truss decomposition on billion-edge graphs takes hours to complete on a commodity computer.

We propose to accelerate in-memory truss decomposition by (1) compacting intermediate results to optimize memory access, (2) dynamically adjusting the computation based on data characteristics, and (3) parallelizing the algorithm on both the multicore CPU and the GPU. In particular, we optimize the triangle enumeration with data skew handling, and determine at runtime whether to pursue peeling or direct triangle counting to obtain a certain
k
-truss. We further develop a CPU-GPU co-processing strategy in which the CPU first computes intermediate results and sends the compacted results to the GPU for further computation. Our experiments on real-world datasets show that our implementations outperform the state of the art by up to an order of magnitude. Our source code is publicly available at https://github.com/RapidsAtHKUST/AccTrussDecomposition.
Confucian Orientalism and Western Outlook in Martial Arts Film
Authors: Teo Stephen
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses the martial arts genre with reference to the films of the Japanese master Kurosawa Akira and the Chinese director Zhang Yimou, discussing how both directors converge in their themes and styles through the concept of “Eastern Orientalism.” Such Orientalism is based on Confucian precepts of zhengming (rectification of names), chaos theory, and the defense of the people undertaken by militaristic but heroic individual protagonists (samurai or xia). In raising the issue of Orientalism, the paper probes into the Western perceptions of the genre and the imperative of directors like Kurosawa and Zhang in pandering to Western tastes. However, these same directors seem equally preoccupied with fostering a sense of self and nationalistic expression in their response to and treatment of Orientalized content. The paper concludes with a discussion on The Great Wall (2016) as a comparative review of the Western and Eastern viewpoints at play in the US-China co-production. Here the analysis revolves around the issue of sameness, dramatized as a main theme in the film.
Improved algorithm for enhance robustness of IPTV based on GEPON
Authors: Li Li , Li Hong-Jie
Published: March 2021

Ten Gigabit-capable ethernet passive optical network (GEPON) can quickly improve network bandwidth, meet multilevel business needs, and quickly improve the comprehensive competitiveness of the network. It is well known that the 10G EPON access network technology is used to carry IPTV services, VoIP services and high-speed Internet access, known as “triple play”, and IPTV services have been particularly popular in recent years. As the demand for IPTV service increases exponentially, a large amount of data will be generated, occupying a large access bandwidth and causing an impact on other services. Therefore, reasonable scheduling of IPTV service queue is an urgent problem to be solved under multiservice environment at present. Therefore, the design of PON bearing IPTV robustness algorithm to meet user experience is the focus of this paper. This paper proposes a Forward Error Correction with Weight Round Robin algorithm (FWRR), which adopts RS error correction code and Weighted Round Robin algorithm based on IP layer. When IPTV packet is lost at optical line terminal (OLT) end, downlink optical network unit (ONU) can recover the lost data through received packets. This mechanism can effectively solve the problem of packet loss caused by the blocking of OLT end, and realize the scheme of PON carrying IPTV multicast service. Simulations results in OPNET show that compared with weighted round robin (WRR) algorithm and round robin (RR) algorithm, FWRR mechanism can reduce packet loss, delay and jitter, in addition, improve the robustness of IPTV service in GEPON.

‘The Hungary of the West’
Authors: Szentgáli-Tóth Boldizsár
Published: March 2021

During the 19th century, several Irish authors looked for those smples from Europe, which might be inwoked during the targeted reconsideration of the Irish-British relationship. The Irish aim was to establish a dualist monarchy with Great Britain, or at least to achieve a broader autonomy within the Empire. For this purpose, Hungary was also often seen as a proper example, how a smaller nation could strenghten its position within a larger country. The Irish constitutional literature, and also the newspapers discussed the compromise between Austria and Hungary in 1867, and called for a similar agreement between Ireland and England to provide broader self-determination for Ireland. The study would outline the main arguments of these contemporary contributions, and would assess, how the real Hungarian development, and a mainly idealized image from Hungary influenced the Irish public discourse during that period. Special highlight would be given to a book published by Arthur Griffith, an important politician of that period, “The Resurrection of Hungary” which provided a detailed narrative from the Hungarian development, and used this sample as an argument in the particular Irish political context. Griffith was also one of the key figures of the negotiations in 1921, which lead finally to the agreement between Ireland and England, therefore, this Hungarian orientation had also clear practical impact. My purpose is to demonstrate this influence on the basis of the original, contemporary Irish sources.
Neural Network Modeling for the Rotational Viscosity of Reacted and Activated Rubber-Modified Binders
Authors: Isied Mayzan , Souliman Mena I.
Published: March 2021

Crumb rubber surface activation and pretreatment are considered one of the promising newly introduced methods for asphalt rubber production. Reacted and activated rubber (RAR) is an elastomeric asphalt extender produced by the hot blending and activation of crumb rubber with asphalt and activated mineral binder stabilizer. Besides RAR’s ability to enhance the performance of asphaltic mixtures, its dry granulate industrial form enables its addition directly into the mixture utilizing the pugmill or dryer drum with very minimal to no modification required on the plant level. This study aims to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) viscosity prediction model for extracting a standalone viscosity prediction equation. Three different performance graded (PG) asphalt binders modified by 10 dosages of RAR were tested and evaluated under this study. Sixty-six samples that generated more than 3,000 viscosity data points were utilized in ANN modeling. The developed ANN model as well as the extracted standalone viscosity prediction equation had a high value of the coefficient of determination and were statistically valid. Both have the ability to predict the RAR-modified binder viscosity as a function of binder grade, temperature, testing shearing rates, and RAR content.

The Importance of Writing Reclaiming Venus
Authors: Smith Maya Angela
Published: March 2021

Seventy-six-year-old Alvenia Bridges is someone who could be described as forever young. While she contends with typical signs of aging such as osteoporosis and arthritis, her daily meditative walks, diet of primarily salmon and avocados, and invigorating friendships contribute to her youthful demeanor. But a healthy lifestyle can only account for so much. Her captivating storytelling is what truly keeps her young. When she recounts her ability to move throughout the world in the heyday of her youth and when she describes how music allowed her to escape a violent beginning and discover her true purpose for existing, she transports both herself and her listener to another place and time. In doing so, age loses all meaning. Furthermore, her experience as a Black woman navigating the predominantly white and male-run world of Rock and Roll bears witness to the racial and gendered dynamics that exist in the music industry, highlighting how the past informs the present. By narrating an incident that occurred when Bridges was tour-managing the Rolling Stones, this lecture explores how our ethnographic memoir entitled Reclaiming Venus: The Many Lives of Alvenia Bridges conveys the power one wields when telling a story on one’s own terms.

The article attempts to categorize such notions as personal language, idiolect and idiostyle in artistic texts. They are decisions and possibilities, which are specific to each author, of developing a message through an individual choice/selection of resources disposed of by the code. The article exposes external linguistic designation of the artistic text’s language with regard to a specified class (category) represented by an author. Two designations are distinguished thereof, i.e. profession-lectal (priests) and bio-lectal (women). Each of these categories of artistic texts’ originators functioned within the specified frames of model texts specific to the distinguished class of authors.
Język Kodeksu etyki a standardy komunikacji w firmie

Published: March 2021

The article deals with the Code of Ethics, which exposes the good and the policy of promoting excellence in the company – a large global corporation. A set of standards does not include a whole sphere of employment, only the selected aspects. Reading this document you have the impression that this is an instruction that tells you how to adapt to the rules prevailing ethic in the corporation, because the records contained in the Code may lead to semantic ambivalence and impact of moral relativism. Message sender is a company that claims to monopoly on the right, and the recipient – each of its employees. The overall tone of the Code is concerned about the good, the agreement between people, putting the appropriate issues that are raised, but always insight is made from the perspective of the sender. Suitable formulations create the prospect of media seeking to control the recipient of the message and push the position of corporation so that employees identify with the idea of the Code. Measures of language, mainly vocabulary and phraseology, and in particular contexts bring new content of words, new meanings and definitions, which may affect the ambiguous understanding of the guidelines. There should not set standards for communication document, which is designed to be persuasive, as stated from above, without the participation and approval of a wide range of stakeholders and eminent representatives of disciplines dealing with ethics.
Poznańskie regionalne czasowniki i frazeologizmy związane z czynnościami fizjologicznymi oraz stanem fizycznym człowieka

Published: March 2021

The authors of the article present the analysis of about 100 Poznan regional lexical items that are verbal in nature and are connected with man’s physiological functions and physical condition, and which are registered in Słownik gwary miejskiej Poznania [Poznan Urban Slang Dictionary] edited by Monika Gruchmanowa and BogdanWalczak. The analysis of semantic categories represented by such verbs and idioms reveals that negatively evaluated functions and conditions (here: weakness, disability, handicap, tiredness, gluttony, etc.) as well as taboo words (such as pregnancy, excretion or intoxication) are much more frequently subject to designation. The above evaluation is combined with the fact that the analyzed lexemes belong to the expressive register of Poznan regionalisms. The anthropocentric character of the lexis quoted in the article and its emotional undertones influence a relatively stable status of these regionalisms in Poznan residents’ spoken language. A formal structure of the lexis belonging to the above thematic group, i.e. the presence of archaisms, dialectisms and germanisms therein, reflects the origin of Poznan regional variety of the Polish language.
Fonetyka rękopiśmiennych kazań Krzysztofa Kluka na tle ogólnopolskiej normy językowej drugiej połowy XVIII wieku (część I: wokalizm)
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Szamryk Konrad Kazimierz
Published: March 2021

This article is the first part of an analysis focusing on the vowel system of Krzysztof Kluk’s description of phonetic characteristics, based on his handwritten homilies. Kluk was a priest/scientist who lived in the eighteenth century in Ciechanowiec, a small town located on the border of Mazowsze and Podlasie. The author divides the vowel system into two groups, distinguishing features that are consistent with a nationwide standardized language of the second half of the eighteenth century, and other linguistic features that do not fit in the standard literature of the period. In the opinion of the author, the second features have a lot in common with the Polish language of the Eastern Borderlands (especially the north-east), and are layered with regional variations of Polish-language eighteenth-century literature.
Związki frazeologiczne opisujące objawy gniewu w języku polskim i włoskim. Analiza kontrastywna
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Szerszunowicz Joanna
Published: March 2021

The focal issue of the paper is how symptoms of anger are expressed in Polish and Italian phraseological units. Expressing anger is discussed as a culture-specific phenomenon, which is reflected in language. The analysis of units excerpted from mono- and bilingual phraseographic works aims to determine differences and similarities in the conceptualization of symptoms of anger in both languages. The units excerpted are divided into three groups: the first group of units is composed of idioms motivated by physiological changes occurring due to anger; the second contains units motivated by expressive symptoms of anger, while the third one is composed by units motivated by the observations of typical behaviour caused by anger. As a result of the analysis the following groups of equivalents are distinguished: full equivalents, more precisely called quasi-equivalents, partial equivalents (further subdivided into units of pictorial congruence and the units whose imagery differs), non-phraseological equivalents (further subdivided into units of pictorial congruence and those devoid of imagery). The results of a quantitative analysis of equivalents are discussed for each group.
„Bo miłość mężczyzny i kobiety jest walką”. Sposoby obrazowania miłości w twórczości Zofii Nałkowskiej na podstawie Dzienników i Kobiet
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Wiślicka Justyna
Published: March 2021

This article is an attempt to reconstruction of ways in which Zofia Nalkowska pictured love in her modernist novel Kobiety and I volume of Diaries. The subject of the analysis were lexical exponents calling love and metaphoric pictures of love. As the gathered material showed in Nalkowska’s modernist works dominates picturing love as a battle, constant struggles between woman and man. Vocabulary calling women’s and men’s relations and metaphoric names of the sides of this love battle were used to represent it. Due to the young age of the author we can assume that the way of picturing love wasn’t a result of her own experience but cultural context (influence of modernist literature and art).

Prostate cancer (PCa) cells rely on the androgen receptor (AR) signaling axis to reprogram metabolism to sustain aberrant proliferation. Whether additional transcription factors participate to this reprogramming remains mostly unknown. To identify such factors, DNA motif analyses were performed in the promoter and regulatory regions of genes sensitive to androgens in PCa cells. These analyses identified two transcription factors, KLF5 and NFYA, as possibly associated with PCa cell metabolism. In clinical datasets, KLF5 and NFYA expression levels were associated with disease aggressiveness, being significantly decreased and increased, respectively, during PCa progression. Their expression was next investigated by qPCR and Western blot in human PCa cell models, revealing a positive regulation of KLF5 by androgens and a correlation between NFYA and AR protein expression status. siRNA-mediated knockdown of KLF5 increased human PCa cell proliferation rate in AR-positive cell models, suggesting a tumor suppressor function. Live-cell metabolic assays showed that knockdown of KLF5 promoted mitochondrial respiration, a key metabolic pathway associated with PCa progression. The opposite was observed for knockdown of NFYA regarding proliferation and respiration. RNA-seq analyses following the knockdown of either KLF5 and NFYA confirmed that both factors regulated distinct metabolic gene signatures, as well as other gene signatures, explaining their differential impact on PCa cell proliferation and metabolism. Overall, our findings identify KLF5 and NFYA as novel regulators of PCa cell metabolism.

Rojas Rojas, Rolando. La revolución de los arrendires: una historia personal de la reforma agraria
Authors: Helfgott Federico
Published: March 2021

La provincia de La Convención, Cusco, suele ocupar un espacio prominente en los relatos históricos sobre la Reforma Agraria peruana, por ser el lugar donde se aplicó, en 1962, la primera ley para tal fin, durante un periodo de intensa agitación campesina asociada en el imaginario popular con la figura de Hugo Blanco. Menos conocidos son los sucesos que antecedieron a este momento de confrontación y que de alguna manera vislumbraron la etapa de cambios que se venía. El 28 de agosto de 1956, el poderoso hacendado Alberto Duque, dueño de la hacienda San Pedro y de otras propiedades, fue asesinado por el joven Nazario Gamarra, como resultado de lo que posteriormente se denominaría “la conspiración de los arrendires”. Dos de los campesinos arrendatarios de la hacienda, Eduardo Celis y Víctor Valencia, habían planificado el acto junto con el comerciante-arrendatario Tomás Rojas Pillco, y los tres, junto con Gamarra, pasarían 16 años en prisión, hasta ser liberados por el régimen militar en 1972.

Published: March 2021

While virtual learning environments (VLEs) present several advantages, such as space-time flexibility, they are still not including proper opportunities and resources for students to engage in collaborative activities with their peers. Recent approaches, for example, are based on resources that are not standard for VLEs or usual for students. Thus, their integration with VLEs is not simple. This paper conducted a theoretical investigation to identify strategies that could induce collaborative behaviours in students. These strategies were implemented as learning objects running in a VLE and a quasi-experimental research design was conducted with 133 students. The results show that the approach promotes collaborative interactions between students and also tend to improve their learning outcomes. Moreover, learning objects use a conceptualization that is already established over the e-learning community, simplifying their integration with VLEs.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) were recorded from the superior cervical ganglion neurons (SCG) in the rats with experimental streptozotocininduced diabetes (ESD). EPSP was inducted by electrical stimulation of the cervical sympathetic trunk. It was founded that the average value of the EPSP time constant decay in the rats with ESD was 15% higher. At the same time, the amplitudes of EPSP of SCG neurons and the hexamethonium blocking effect in the rats with ESD on 30th day after streptozotocin injection didn’t differ significantly from those in control rats. This may indicate specific functional disorders associated as with steady-state elevated blood glucose level in rats as SCG neurons nicotinic cholinergic receptors.

In mammals, the ankyrin ionotropic transient receptor potential type 1 (TRPA1) is the only member of the TRPA receptor gene subfamily. It is defined as a target for damaging and inflammatory effects in peripheral sensory neurons, which implies its functional role in the development of pain and neurogenic inflammation. Experimental studies indicate that calcium permeable non-selective ion receptor channel TRPA1 is activated by a number of exogenous irritant compounds, factors including low temperatures. This review describes the structure, properties, and physiological role of TRPA1 receptors.
Pengaruh religiusitas terhadap hardiness
Authors: Amalia Ilmi
Published: March 2021

Konsep mengenai hardiness berkembang sejak tahun 1970an dimulai dari penelitian yang intensif dan longitudinal dari Kobasa dan Maddi (dalam Maddi 2006) pada para manajer di perusahaan Illinois Bell Telephone (IBT). Sejak itu konsep hardiness terus berkembang sebagai salah satu konsep yang mendukung perkembangan kesehatan mental manusia. Belum ada penelitian yang menunjukkan hubungan langsung antara religiusitas dan hardiness. Pada masyarakat Indonesia dengan jumlah muslim yang mayoritas, dimana religiusitas menjadi sumber utama nilai maka sehingga bisa jadi nilai-nilai religiusitas dapat menjadi sumber berkembangnya pribadi hardiness. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa religiusitas memberikan kontribusi sebanyak 15,5% terhadap hardiness. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hardiness dan religiusitas berbagi varians yang sama namun angka persentase yang kecil menunjukkan bisa jadi ada variabel-variabel lain yang memberikan kontribusi.

Published: March 2021

Ketika individu hanya melihat uang dari sisi nominal saja tanpa melihat dari sisi nilai yang sebenarnya (real value) maka ia mengalami ilusi uang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sikap, norma subjektif, dan perceived behavioral control, batasan anggaran dan pengurangan nol pada nilai nominal terhadap willingness to pay dalam setting ilusi uang. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimental randomized 2x2 between-subject factorial design dimana sampel dibagi menjadi empat kelompok penelitian dengan sampel sebanyak 115 mahasiswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan R square sebesar 0,233. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa sampel tidak mengalami ilusi uang karena tidak adanya perbedaan willingness to pay yang signifikan di setiap kelompok penelitian

The dynamic of the evolution of some physical, technical, physiological indicators in children training football up to the age of 11 have been taken into consideration. Their interdependence has been determined with the aid of correlational analysis in the beginning and end of the 14-month training model. The aim of research is discovering the bond between the improvement in certain tests and the inner correlations of a certain test with others .It has been laid down that the forwards tend to have anaerobic lactate qualities of players, the agility and speed strength. When it comes to defenders, the author advocates raising attention to improve the aerobic, aerobic anaerobic, lactate properties, speed strength and agility. No major difference has been observed in the physical preparation of the players of both respective posts.

The objective: was to study the level of abdominal delivery, its structure according to indications from the fetus, the effect of cesarean sections on perinatal losses in acute fetal hypoxia. Patients and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the Kyiv City Maternity Hospital №1 for the period from 2001 to 2011. The frequency of cesarean sections was studied and analyzed, the percentage of urgent and planned operations was established, the structure of cesarean sections according to the indications from the fetus was determined, the frequency of cesarean sections in acute hypoxia Fetus, perinatal losses were studied, an analysis of the dependence of perinatal losses on the frequency of cesarean sections during fetal distress was carried out. The analysis used the history of delivery of women giving birth, which culminated in cesarean section. Results. In analyzing the structure of cesarean sections, the fetal indications are as follows: fetal hypoxia, confirmed by objective methods, in the absence of conditions for urgent delivery per vias naturales; Pelvic presentation of the fetus at a mass of more than 3700 g; in vitro fertilization; incorrect position of the fetus after the outflow of amniotic fluid. The conclusion. An increase in the frequency of cesarean sections was noted. Attention is drawn to the positive trend of decreasing the frequency of urgent surgical interventions. The expected decrease in the number of perinatal losses with an increase in the level of caesarean sections due to fetal distress has not been confirmed. Key words: cesarean section, acute fetal hypoxia, cardiotocographic monitoring.
