Attack on identity. (Russian culture as an existential threat to Ukraine)
Authors: Bilyi Oleh
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the role of Russian culture in the period of the RF war against Ukraine. The history is considered as the basic structure that shapes the discursive foundation of identity. Historical narratives as well as the cultural background of imperial identity and risks of the full scale representation of Russian culture in the Ukrainian social consciousness are analyzed. The two tendencies are also comprehended — junk science foundation of geopolitical projects and devalu- ation of the historically formed senses. So the communicative action is penetrated by the strategic action bazed on the false reality fundament, this significant element of the war of the world. The vivid example of junk science is the neoeurasian ideology, that defines the strategy of Kremlin informational attack on the Ukrainian identity. Standoff between the identities takes place in the course of the imperial mobilization project development. The symbiosis of governmental authorities and artists plays the key role in its realization. The author outlines the main features of the strategic effect of penetration into the core of communicative process and the false reality building. Also the author develops the thought that the heartbreaking and impetuous change of con- tradictory narratives are the one of the fundamental resources of information war. In particular it deals with the great Russian Simulacrum as the vivid example of the instrumental reason that is in the base of the information war against Ukraine. It is also defined the historical origin of the simulacra as the instrument of the Russian special services and the role of their partners — the iconic figures of the Russian literature — in the projects of the public opinion manipulation.
Identity of Species Assigned to the Genus Cephalia (Diptera, Tephritoidea)
Authors: Kameneva E. P. , Korneyev V. A.
Published: December 2022

The taxonomy of the genus Cephalia Meigen, 1826 has hitherto been confused. This paper comprises a review of the 13 nominal species assigned to the genus Cephalia to date. Of these, C. nigripes Meigen, 1826 has previously been considered a junior synonym of C. rufipes Meigen, 1826, which is here found to be apparently the only species which actually belongs in the genus Cephalia. Regarding the position of the other species: Cephalia fascipennis Wiedemann, 1830, C. femoralis Wiedemann, 1830 and C. marginata Wiedemann, 1830 was already transferred to Setellia (Richardiidae) and C. caloptera Bigot, 1886 synonymized with Euphranta connexa (Tephritidae); C. bicolor Bigot, 1886 synonymized with Elassogaster linearis (Walker, 1849) (Platystomatidae); and C. quadripunctata Gimmerthal, 1842 tentatively placed in the genus Sapromyza (Lauxaniidae). Cephalia myrmecoides Loew, 1860 and C. fenestrata Coquillett, 1900 have been transferred to the monotypic genera Myrmecothea Hendel and Myiomyrmica Steyskal respectively, forming a clearly monophyletic lineage together with C. rufipes within the tribe Cephaliini (Ulidiidae). The following synonymies are also established here for the remaining species: Acrosticta fulvicornis (Bigot, 1886) comb. n., = Cephalia fulvicornis Bigot, 1886 (Acrosticta fulvipes Coqullett, 1900 is possibly a junior synonym) (Ulidiidae); Herina flavoscutellata (Becker, 1900), comb. n. (Ulidiidae), = Cephalia flavoscutellata Becker, 1900; Rivellia maculipennis (Bigot, 1886) comb. n., = Cephalia maculipennis Bigot, 1886 = Rivellia brevifasciata Johnson, 1900 syn. n. (Platystomatidae). The taxonomic position of Cephalia within the subfamily Otitinae is discussed.

Authors: Smirnov N. A.
Published: December 2022

The paper contains information about 21 cases of abnormal amplexus among anurans (Amphibia) detected on the territory of the Chernivtsi Region, Ukraine. Multiple amplexus, consisting of one female and two or more males, was registered in three species: Bombina variegata, Bufo bufo, Rana temporaria. The author described interspecific amplexus in six cases. Five of them were among anurans (Bufo bufo male × Pelophylax lessonae male, Rana dalmatina males × Rana temporaria female or males, Rana temporaria male × Pelophylax ridibundus female) and one case — among Anura and Caudata (Bombina variegata male × Lissotriton montandoni female).
The Dynamic of the Fertility Age Model in the Two Regions of Russia
Authors: Sarvarova Alena D. , Tupitsyn Sergey S. , Tupitsyna Lyudmila S.
Published: December 2022

Introduction. The increase of the age of mothers at the birth of children is observed in the modern period. The speed of this process in different regions of Russia and the world is different. The aim of this research is to estimate the average age of mothers and the number of children born by one woman in Tyumen and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in 2017–2018.

Materials and Methods. The archival documents from medical institutions about 676 women who registered for pregnancy have been analyzed. For temporary comparison for the period from 1985 to 2003, we use the data presented in a previously published monograph. The standard methods of statistics, spatial and temporal analysis are used, which have made it possible to identify the dynamics of the age model of fertility.

Results. The authors have determine that the distribution of women by age at the birth of children is the same in two Russian cities. A group of women aged 26 to 33 years is represented with 55% frequency. The average age of women in labor from two cities is the same. In Tyumen is 30.1 ± 0.63, in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is 29.5 ± 0.38. The article provides evidence that in the previous period, the proportion of women in labor aged 18 to 25 years was 60%. In both cities, the distribution of women by the number of births is the same, 83% gave birth twice. 14% of children were born in third births. In the previous time interval, 65% of children were born in first birth. During this period it has been defined that the average number of births in the city of Tyumen is less than in the rural areas of the south of the Tyumen region, and less than among the indigenous women in the north of the region (Khanty and Mansi).

Discussion and Conclusion. In the studied period, the dynamic of increase of the age of women in labor is obvious. One of the reasons for this trend is the increase count of mothers giving birth again. The financial support from the state makes possible to implement the two-child and large family model in Russia. But it should be aware of the increased risk of biological problems in the group of older women. It is advisable to discuss the negative consequences of delayed motherhood, for example, through the education system. The material of the article is useful, first of all, for future parents.

Published: December 2022

Bevezetés: Az acromioclavicularis ízület operatívan kezelendő
ficamainak megoldására osztályunkon korábban alkalmazott technikák eredményeinek
vizsgálata módszerváltásra késztette a szerzőket. Célkitűzés:
Egy olyan módszert kerestek, mely stabilan úgy rögzíti a sérült
acromioclavicularis ízületet, hogy annak fiziológiás mozgásai is megmaradjanak.
Módszer: Ezen a területen napjainkban is útkeresés folyik,
melynek kapcsán a rigid rögzítést adó technikák helyett a kulcscsont fiziológiás
mozgásait meghagyó dinamikus rögzítések kerültek előtérbe. Az alkalmazható
modern technikák közül a szerzők a MINAR- (Minimally INvasive Acromioclavicular
Joint Reconstruction) technikát választották és vezették be osztályuk
gyakorlatába. A módszer előnye, hogy jó stabilitást ad, gyors rehabilitációt
tesz lehetővé, minimalizáltan invazív eljárás mindamellett, hogy könnyen
elsajátítható, biztonságosan elvégezhető műtét. Fontos tényező, hogy a
stabilitás mellett biomechanikai szempontból is előnyös, mivel lehetővé teszi,
meghagyja a kulcscsont fiziológiás mozgásait. A technikát 2012-ben kezdték
alkalmazni a szerzők. Magyarországon a legtöbb ilyen műtétet ők végezték
kórházukban, ami által referenciahelynek tekinthetők országos viszonylatban. A
szerzők bemutatják a műtéti technikát, az indikációkat, a kontraindikációkat és
a műtétet követő rehabilitáció lépéseit. Eredmények:
Eredményeiket a szerzők radiológiai vizsgálatokkal, illetve 7 éves időszak
retrospektív utánvizsgálatával a Constant- és DASH-score-ok segítségével
elemezték, melyek alátámasztották azt, hogy jó megoldást választottak.
Megbeszélés: A nemzetközi irodalmi adatokkal egybehangzó
eredményeket találtak. Elemezték azokat a szempontokat, amelyek még jobb
eredményességre vezethetnek, valamint elemzik a módszer további vizsgálatának,
más módszerrel való összehasonlíthatóságának lehetőségeit.
Következtetések: A módszer az előnyei alapján elsődlegesen
választandó jó megoldásnak tekinthető, mely korrelál az Európai Vállsebészeti
Társaság (European Shoulder Associates) álláspontjával. Orv Hetil. 2022;

Efecto de la harina de torta residual de sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) sobre la viabilidad de saccharomyces boulardii y Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Authors: Diaz-Castañeda Claudia Elizabeth , Arámbula-García Claudia Ivonne , Núñez-Rodríguez José de Jesús
Published: December 2022

Se realizó un estudio experimental para determinar el efecto sobre la viabilidad de dos probióticos al ser incorporados a la harina de torta residual de sacha inchi como matriz alimentaria. Para ello, se extrajo el aceite de las semillas de sacha por prensado en frío y se obtuvo la torta residual. Luego se preparó la harina de torta residual y se determinó la humedad, las proteínas, las cenizas, las grasas, la fibra, los hidratos de carbono y el valor calórico tanto de la torta residual de sacha inchi como de la harina obtenida a partir de ella. Se establecieron cuatro fórmulas experimentales con los siguientes porcentajes F1(100% de harina), F2(93% de harina y 7% de S. boulardii), F3(93% de harina y 7% de L.rhamnosus) y F4(92,2% de harina + 3,6% de S.boulardii + 3,6% de L.rhamnosus). Por último, se determinó la viabilidad de los microorganismos probióticos Lactobacillus rhamnosus y Saccharomyces boulardii incorporados a la harina y se caracterizó fisicoquímica y microbiológicamente la fórmula con mejores resultados. Los resultados muestran que hay diferencias mínimas entre las medias de la concentración en UFC/g obtenida en el tratamiento con S. boulardii (F2) (Sig.=0,37), la media del tratamiento Control (F1), así como diferencias mínimas significativas entre la media del tratamiento con L. rhamnosus y S. boulardii (F4) y el tratamiento de control (F1) (Sig.=0.001), sin embargo, los tratamientos F2 y F4 no difieren significativamente de la media en UFC/g obtenida en cada uno de ellos (Sig.=0.165). Se concluye que la concentración celular del microorganismo de ensayo se ve afectada por la matriz alimentaria en la que se encuentra, considerando los tratamientos con S. boulardii (F2) y L. rhamnosus + S.boulardii (F4) como los tratamientos en los que la concentración celular de S.boulardii se mantuvo estable durante los 19 días de la prueba en comparación con el tratamiento con Lactobacillus rhamnosus (F3).
Cultura política, cultura organizacional y liderazgo gerencial desde la perspectiva de la complejidad

Published: December 2022

La cultura organizacional y el liderazgo gerencial se han estudiado de manera individual otratando de establecer una relación entre ambas categorías, sin embargo, en ambos casos la interacción entre estas se corresponde a elementos internos en la organización, en algunos casos se trata de identificar como un tipo de liderazgo inside en el tipo de cultura, no obstante, hay dos aspectos a considerar que se están obviando, uno es la relación recursiva y dialógioca que se puede presentar en dicha relación, el otro aspecto es la influencia de una categoría externa, pero determinante como es la cultura organizacional, porque los individuos no son máquinas, por lo tanto, al entrar a la organización no se les puede pasar un interruptor para que actúen de cierta manera. En este sentido, en este artículo se busca reflexionar sobre la cultura política, cultura organizacional y liderazgo gerencial desde la perspectiva del paradigma de la complejidad. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se hace una revisión documental de libros y artículos científicos que tratan el tema, para llegar a unas reflexiones finales.
Cross-Sectional Study of Hearing Status in Primary Students in Mainstream and Special Schools
Authors: Tufatulin G. Sh. , Koroleva I. V.
Published: December 2022

Background. The only way to prevent the negative outcomes of hearing loss in children (speech, mental, learning, socialization disorders) is early diagnosis of the pathology and rehabilitation onset. It can be provided by hearing screening programs for children of different ages, including school-age children. Hearing screening is not performed among school-age children in Russian Federation. Objective. The aim is to study the prevalence and structure of hearing disorders in students in mainstream and special (for children with visual impairments) schools to determine the strategy for implementing hearing screening of school-age children in Russian Federation. Methods. The study included children of two groups who had not previously been diagnosed with hearing disorders: group 1 — students of 1–4 grades of mainstream school, group 2 — students of 1–4 grades of special school (children with visual impairments) (St. Petersburg). The screening stage included otoscopy, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions, pure tone audiometry. Children with any problems later underwent a complex hearing examination at Center of Pediatric Audiology (St Petersburg) to confirm the presence of hearing disorder and for disease differential diagnosis. The major indicator in this study is the percent (%) of children with confirmed hearing disorder in each group. The additional indicator is the proportion of various pathological conditions in hearing disorders’ structure (persistent disorders and hearing loss degree included). Study methods: otoscopy, tympanometry, pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses. Results. We have revealed abnormalities in 23% of 183 children from mainstream school. Hearing disorders were confirmed in 19.7% of children. Most children were diagnosed with temporary mild and moderate conductive hearing loss, whereas 3.9% were diagnosed with permanent (sensorineural) hearing loss. The total percent of children with confirmed hearing disorder was not significantly different in 148 children from special school. Therefore, they have 2.5 times more cases of permanent hearing loss and children with more severe hearing disorder. Conclusion. The obtained data confirm the hearing screening relevance in school-age children. Further studies are required to develop hearing screening protocol for school-age children considering the features of audiologic service and educational system in Russian Federation.
Impedimento na Cultura
Authors: Rosa Luiza
Published: December 2022

Resumo No dia 1º de janeiro de 2019, dia da posse do presidente Jair Bolsonaro, foi publicada no Diário Oficial da União uma medida provisória que impactaria diretamente artistas, produtores culturais e pesquisadores da área da cultura do país. A MP instituiu a extinção do Ministério da Cultura, o seu rebaixamento de status à Secretaria Especial de Cultura, vinculada, primeiramente, ao Ministério da Cidadania e, posteriormente, ao Ministério do Turismo. Existente há 37 anos, o Ministério da Cultura figurou no período de redemocratização do país, findo o Regime Militar, quando também foi instituída a nova Constituição, em 1988, considerada a Constituição Cidadã. Foi para refletir sobre o impacto que a extinção do MinC teve para o setor cultural que o doutor e mestre em Ciência Política pela Universidade de São Paulo, Rafael Moreira, e o jornalista e ator, Lincoln Spada, que também possui experiência em gestão cultural em cidades do interior de São Paulo, decidiram escrever o livro O fim do Ministério da Cultura: reflexões sobre as políticas culturais na era pós-MinC, publicado em 2021 pela editora Imaginário Coletivo (Santos, São Paulo) e aqui resenhado. Além de contextualizar a criação e extinção do Ministério da Cultura, o livro é constituído por entrevistas com artistas, pesquisadores, produtores e gestores culturais, e um ex-ministro da Cultura, que falam sobre o papel do MinC na construção de políticas públicas para o setor.

Safety index of individual basic sanitation systems in rural area
Authors: Scalize Paulo Sérgio , Bezerra Nolan Ribeiro , Baracho Rafaella Oliveira
Published: December 2022

The safe access to water and sanitary sewer are human rights, and there is a lack of indexes which evidence if rural areas have safe access levels to these services and others which compose basic sanitation in Brazil. The goal of this work was to elaborate a safety index of rural sanitation at household level, and to apply it in three typologies of rural communities in the state of Goiás: rural settlements, quilombola and riparian communities. For such, the research was developed in five steps: 1) Choice of indicators and sub-indicators; 2) Definition of goals and hierarchical structure; 3) Attribution of due weight to the indicators and sub-indicators; 4) Formulation of the rural sanitation index (ISSRural); and 5) Evaluation of the safety level in 48 rural areas. The proposed ISSRural was composed of six indicators, of which four are associated to basic sanitation components, one is related to habitability conditions and one related to health issues. Four sanitation safe levels have been established, according to the ISSRural score level: Critical, unsafe, partially safe and safe, being that only the last one guarantees the existing sanitation services’ safety. Applying the index in 48 rural areas, none of the communities have reached the “safe” level for the ISSRural and only three areas have reached such level for at least one indicator, which was Rainwater Management. This work proposed an index which has evidenced the safety levels associated to basic sanitation in rural areas, from data at household level, and can be applied with the goal of prioritizing investments, plans and projects which may have greater impact in the population’s sanitation safety, as well as contributing to ensure the human right of access to water and sanitary sewer.
Is there a relationship between anthropic action on the environment and the Deadline according to Chico Xavier?
Authors: Gorne Íris Batista , Romualdo Sanderson dos Santos , Rocha Cézar Henrique Barra
Published: December 2022

The discussion about the existence of a spiritual plane and the possibility of communication between this plane and human beings permeates for decades, from which many questions arise, with the difficulty of proof by scientific means being the main obstacle. In this context, the authors intended to relate Spiritualist messages, such as the Deadline according to the medium Chico Xavier, as tools that are not only helpful in understanding, but are also part of science in actions to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by anthropic action. Therefore, this purpose was developed from a literature review, consulting the main academic research bases and reference books about Spiritism, in addition to the experience of the authors. It is suggested that the Covid-19 pandemic is the Deadline described by Chico Xavier, thus representing the most severe threat to global health in this century. The prophecy highlighted the various Spiritist communities with regard to the directions of Planet Earth associated with the current economic production model. Disordered consumption and exploration of natural resources have generated social, economic and environmental consequences that are being seen by the planet and that are related to the Spiritist practices with regard to the search for social equality in all its aspects. Therefore, the deceleration of industrial production, which leads to the enrichment of the few at the expense of the greater part of society, and the use of renewable environmental resources, as well as the protection of all biodiversity, must be encouraged. There is also an urgent need to consider Spiritism as a pillar for the development of science.

Keperluan Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) Tangkapan dan Tahanan Individu Autisme untuk Pegawai Penguatkuasa Agama
Authors: Mohd Kusrin Zuliza , Yusof Wafaa’ , Ab Rahman Roseliza-Murni , Nasohah Zaini , Dahalan Zahidah
Published: December 2022

Individu autisme mengalami kecelaruan perkembangan-neuro dan menyebabkan kekurangan dari segi kemahiran sosial dan imaginasi. Situasi ini menjadikan mereka terdedah dan agak cenderung melanggar undang-undang rentetan sifat perilaku tersendiri mereka yang defisit pergaulan sosial, obsesi kepada rutin harian dan kurang empati. Peningkatan pendiagnosan individu autisme di Malaysia menyebabkan wujudnya keperluan bagi mengadakan SOP Khas tangkapan dan tahanan individu autisme. Satu Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) Autisme Khas Polis telah berjaya dibentuk dan dikuatkuasakan bagi menjamin hak dan keadilan individu autisme bagi kesalahan jenayah sivil. Namun, SOP sedemikian masih belum wujud bagi kesalahan jenayah syariah di negeri-negeri di Malaysia. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis keperluan mewujudkan SOP Khas Autisme untuk penguat kuasa agama negeri-negeri di Malaysia. Objektif kajian membincangkan perilaku tersendiri individu autisme yang mendorong mereka melanggar undang-undang dan perkaitannya dengan kesalahan jenayah syariah serta persepsi para pengamal perundangan Islam, pelatih kepada individu autisme dan pakar perubatan autisme tentang keperluan mewujudkan SOP Khas Autisme untuk penguat kuasa agama. Metodologi kajian ialah analisis kandungan dan temu bual kumpulan fokus serta perbincangan meja bulat bersama informan berkaitan iaitu 3 orang hakim syarie, 2 orang pegawai penguat kuasa agama, 9 orang guru pendidikan khas serta 2 orang pakar autisme. Data terkumpul kemudiannya dianalisis secara deskriptif dan tematik. Hasil kajian mendapati sebahagian perilaku individu autisme seperti menyentuh dengan tidak sopan, masturbasi secara terbuka, membuka baju, terkandung dalam kategori perbuatan tidak sopan Akta/Enakmen Kesalahan Jenayah Syariah namun tiada peruntukan undang-undang khusus untuk PPA mengendalikan tangkapan dan tahanan individu autisme yang disyaki melanggar undang-undang tersebut. Tambahan lagi PPA perlu kepada SOP terpandu dalam melaksanakan tugasnya terhadap individu autisme menyebabkan keperluan dibangunkan SOP khusus untuk PPA bagi mengelakkan diskriminasi dan layanan yang lebih adil kepada individu autisme.
Investigation of the structural damage caused by blasting activities in tunnels to surrounding buildings: The case of Gümüşhane belt highway
Authors: SEFEROĞLU Mehmet Tevfik , SEFEROĞLU Ayşegül Güneş , AKARYALI Enver
Published: December 2022

Tunnels are road transport structures that reduce traffic and expropriation problems, noise, and possible damage to animals and plants, and provide safer, more comfortable, and faster transportation for vehicles compared to highways. However, some environmental problems occur during tunnel construction. These problems such as vibration, noise, rock throwing, etc. caused by the blasting process used during tunnel excavation on buildings and people should be well investigated. In this study, two buildings located close to the exit and entrance of two tunnels (T2 and T3 tunnels) on the Gümüşhane belt road were chosen to investigate. Firstly, the existing damages in the first building, which is 7 m away from the T2 tunnel exit, and the second building, which is 60 m away from the T3 tunnel entrance, were analyzed by considering criteria such as the geological and ground condition of the land and the building materials used during the construction of those building. In addition, the negative effects on the buildings were evaluated by calculating the vibrations after the blasting process in the tunnel with the help of various empirical formulas. Investigation on site showed that building 1 was built of masonry and building 2 was built of reinforced concrete, and that deep cracks had formed in the bearing systems of both buildings, spills occurred in the walls, and fractures in the windows. Also, calculations with empirical formulas showed that the vibration rates caused by blasting process in the 1st and 2nd buildings were as 385.68 mm/sec and 6.91 mm/sec, respectively, and these vibration values were above the standard values. The data obtained through examination on-site and empirical approaches show that it would be dangerous for people to be resident in both buildings.

Published: December 2022

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered the backbone of economic growth, as they play a vital role in the economic development of any country, they contribute to the provision of job opportunities and act as suppliers of goods and services to large companies. Despite the role of SMEs in national economies, as well as their importance in promoting competitiveness and employment, the author believes that the SMEs performance determinants and their impact on performance measurement and management have not been sufficiently studied in Latvia. The aim of the research is to explore the SMEs performance determinants and their impact on performance measurement and management. The research is based on the analysis of scientific publications. General research methods are used in the research: information analysis and synthesis, logically – constructive, monographic, data grouping and graphical representation methods. As a result, the impact of the SMEs performance determinants on the measurement and management of SME performance are explored, and the conceptual framework for measuring and managing SME performance is developed.
¿Cómo se explica el riesgo de inundación en la Geografía escolar? Una aproximación desde los libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales (Educación Primaria) / How flood risk is explained in Geography school classrooms? An approach from the Social Sciences textbooks (Primary Education)
Authors: Morote Seguido Álvaro Francisco , Olcina Jorge
Published: December 2022

En la región mediterránea el principal riesgo natural son las inundaciones. Por ello, la explicación de este tema en las aulas de Educación Primaria (objeto de estudio) debe ser una prioridad tal y como establece el actual currículo (Ciencias Sociales). Este interés se acentúa para el caso de la educación ya que es un factor no estructural que se suele obviar a la hora de analizar el riesgo. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar cómo se explica el riesgo de inundación en los manuales escolares de Ciencias Sociales (3er ciclo de Educación Primaria) en la Comunidad Valenciana (España). A partir de las principales editoriales utilizadas en el área de estudio, los resultados indican que estos recursos presentan una escasa atención a este fenómeno, destacando principalmente el factor peligrosidad (el evento atmosférico) sin contemplar la acción del ser humano, que es el agente principal del cambio climático. Por tanto, se trataría de una explicación desacertada de estos fenómenos (tan característicos del clima mediterráneo) donde no se atiende al factor humano como elemento esencial de la valoración del riesgo en un espacio geográfico.

Published: December 2022

mediaos del ano 2021, a Secretaría Llingüística del Navia-Eo creóu úa comisión lexicográfica col obxetivo de publicar el primeiro Dic-cionario Normativo d’Eonaviego. Esta obra responde a úa demanda qu’a sociedá del occidente d’Asturias lleva treslladando tanto á Academia como al Goberno del Principao d’Asturias dende hai muitos anos posto que, a día d’hoi, a mayoría das publicacióis lexicográficas esistentes son estudios mo-nográficos d’un determinao territorio, qu’en muitos casos tan descatalogadas y son, pollo tanto, de difícil acceso. Nese sentido, a misión da comisión, formada por especialistas tanto en lexicografía como nel Na-via-Eo, é crear un diccionario normativo, d’uso y sincrónico, qu’abarque a fala actual de todos os conceyos de llingua eonaviega, nel occidente d’Asturias. Al igual qu’el sou predecesor, el Diccionariu de la Llingua As-turiana (DALLA), que ta redactao en asturiano, el diccionario d’eonaviego sírvese da llingua propia al hora d’ellaborar as distintas entradas, feito que contribuye non solo á normalización del idioma, senón á súa normativiza-ción, en tanto que vai reflexar decisióis sobre a ortografía y a sintaxis da llingua non recoyidas en ningúa publicación hasta agora. A metodoloxía que s’aplica na súa ellaboración recoye os principios da lexicografía moder-na, que ten como base as lleis de sustituibilidá, identidá categórica y non circularidá. Ademáis, a comisión lexicográfica ta acordando outras decisióis metodolóxicas pr’adaptar el diccionario á situación sociocultural da zona, como, por exemplo, qué variedá utilizar al hora de redactar, ou qué entradas se van incluir y de cuáles se vai prescindir. Cabe destacar neste punto úa concesión á dialectoloxía que nun se sole contemplar nos diccionarios nor-mativos, como é a inclusión das variantes palatalizadas y non palatalizadas del eonaviego.

BACKGROUND: Body component composition, including bone components, is dynamic. Obtaining objective information on body composition will allow solving a significant number of applied and theoretical problems in the field of personalized medicine.
AIM: To study the quantitative parameters of the bone component of the body in women of different age groups while taking body types into account.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The physical status of 580 female Kyrgyz women was studied. The women were allocated into three age groups: the youth period (1620 years) with 210 girls, the first period of adulthood (2135 years) with 186 women, and the second period of adulthood (3655 years) with 184 women. Somatotyping was carried out in accordance with the scheme of GalantNikityukChtetsov (I.B. Galant, 1927; V.P. Chtetsov, 1979; B.А. Nikityuk, 1983) with informed consent. Bone component content was determined by using the method of J. Matiegka (1921).
RESULTS: A total of 20, 32, 33, and 15% of the women were of the leptosomal, mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes. Compared with the absolute content of the bone component in girls with the leptosomal somatotype, that of girls with the mesosomal somatotype almost did not change, that of girls with the megalosomal somatotype had increased by 1.2 times (p 0.05), and that of girls with the indefinite somatotype had increased by 1.1 times (p 0.05). The percentage of the bone component of the body in girls with the leptosomal somatotype was lower by 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5 times (all p 0.05) than that in girls with the mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes, respectively. In women in the first period of adulthood, the percentage of leptosomal somatotypes was 1.4 times lower than that of the mesosomal, megalosomal and indeterminate somatotypes (all p 0.05), respectively. In women in the second period of adulthood, the percentage of leptosomal somatotypes was 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 times lower than that of the mesosomal, megalosomal, and indefinite somatotypes (all p 0.05), respectively.
CONCLUSION: The absolute mass of the bone component of the body had minimal values in girls and women of mature age of leptosomal somatotypes (6.07.1 kg) and maximum values in megalosomal somatotypes (6.69.2 kg). In women of the second period of adulthood, in comparison with girls, its percentage in representatives of all somatotypes decreases (by 1.11.2 times).

BACKGROUND: Studies on the morphological and hemodynamic changes in the structure of the portal vein of the liver and the splenic vein in various pathologies, one of which is portal hypertension, remains relevant.
AIM: To perform a histological study on the structure and thickness of the membranes of the portal vein of the liver and splenic vein in people of different age groups with normal conditions and with portal hypertension.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sectional material for the study of the portal vein of the liver and splenic vein was obtained from 89 people aged 730 years old who died from injuries incompatible with life. A total of 57 cases had a history of portal hypertension during life, and the remaining 32 cases were considered as controls. The cellular and tissue components of the vein walls were studied in paraffin sections stained with hematoxylineosin and Van Giesons stain (picric acid and fuchsin) using Weigerts hematoxylin.
RESULTS: The thicknesses of the inner and middle membranes of venous vessels significantly increased in all age groups with portal hypertension relative to those in the control. The pathological features of changes in the thickness and microstructure of the components of the portal vein wall of the liver and splenic vein in topographically different parts of the veins were observed.
CONCLUSION: The histological and morphometric examination of the wall of the portal vein of the liver and the splenic vein in normal cases and cases of portal hypertension syndrome in different age periods revealed not only the structural features of the portal vein of the liver and splenic vein, but also the features of age-related pathomorphological changes in the individual parts of the veins and in each of the membranes. Such features are of considerable interest for clinical medicine.

Due to the increasing environmental awareness, the tendency to develop sustainable buildings has also increased interest in using renewable energy or energy-efficient technologies in recent years. Integrating a photobioreactor, an innovative building element on the façade, has received attention as an alternative approach to renewable energy systems for its potential to reduce the carbon footprint and energy consumption of a building without compromising thermal and visual comfort. This study aims to improve the performance of the building by using a façade integrated photobioreactor system. Implementing photobioreactors on the building façades raises the following benefits a) regulating the indoor temperature swings and improving thermal comfort, b) blocking the excess daylight thanks to the increasing concentration during the algae growth, c) reducing the energy consumption of the building, and d) producing energy from the harvested biomass (algae). The photobioreactor is integrated on the south façade of an existing office building in Izmir and comprises two glasses and a growth medium of photosynthesizing microalgae between the glasses. The method is simulation-based optimization that maximizes useful daylight illuminance and minimizes thermal comfort violation and energy use intensity. The performance of the existing building was compared with two photobioreactor alternatives. Rhino Grasshopper software with the Octopus plugin was used for the optimization study. The optimization results show that the photobioreactor integrated façade system performed better than the currently used one. The photobioreactor integrated façade can reduce the number of uncomfortable hours during the year. For the investigated photobioreactor configurations, there was no significant difference between 100% photobioreactor façade and 80% photobioreactor façade, except for partial improvement in daylight illumination.

Chronic pain is a complex syndrome, which requires attention in diagnosis and treatment, and for physicians in primary health care, rheumatic diseases are a major challenge. The study aimed to evaluate the association between oxidative stress (OS) markers and clinical and biochemical variables of patients with chronic pain. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative, and analytical research. The sample of this research consisted of primary care patients (PCP) from a municipality of Rio Grande do Sul, whose data were collected in August 2021 and compared with a positive control group (PC), patients diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and a negative control group (NC), people without diseases and without medication use.  Of the 17 patients who participated in the study, 82.4% were diagnosed with AR and 17.6% with fibromyalgia. In the Analysis of OS, higher catalase values were verified in the PPA group than in the other ones, and this increase was statistically significant when compared to the control. HS was lower in PAP and substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid were higher in PAP, with significant difference when compared to PC and NC. In this study, it was evidenced that chronic pain predominantly affected the female gender and with low schooling and higher values of the markers suggest an increase in oxidative stress in PAP, when compared with the results obtained in the PC and NC groups. This may be related to pharmacological treatment prescribed to primary care patients who do not follow the protocols.

Published: December 2022

This article analyzes the transformations that have been taking place in the territory of Viracopos International Airport (AIV), through the formation of logistics corridors similar to successful global “Aerotrópolis” logistics complexes. As a methodology, a bibliographic review of authors who approach interdisciplinary themes on urban phenomena is used. The challenges in the implementation of "Aerotrópolis Viracopos" are investigated, going through institutional and governmental issues, such as the lack of elaboration of public policies aimed at meeting the demands of the populations that live and work in Aerotrópolis and/or in the surroundings of the airport, regarding the growing need for public transport, urbanized housing and leisure areas. The main objective of this article is to demonstrate the influence of the logistical corridors that have been established in the surroundings of the AIV, and which may benefit the population through activities related to logistics so that it can enjoy the Aerotrópolis, by employing a highly specialized workforce. as non-specialized to perform primary logistics activities such as: assistants for loading goods, ordering, warehouse, stock maintenance, transport, maid, waiter, as well as cleaning and security activities. The “Aerotropolis” model, allied to the logistical corridors, is already consolidating a new territorial configuration where, using revenues from non-aeronautical sources, the availability of accessible land for commercial activities, and the increase in passenger and cargo traffic, will make the AIV a of future Brazilian hub airports, with a concentration of flights to other regions of the world.

The urbanization of Brás de Pina, developed empirically, enrolling its residents, can show limits and potentialities imposed at the effective popular participation. In this regard, the aim is to identify links between the “contexts of interaction”, representations of stakeholders involved and participation levels achieved in the processes of design and execution developed during this experience. Using the participation typology proposed in Arnstein (2002) - the “ladder of citizen participation”, was possible to conclude that neither the “contexts of interaction”, nor the representations of technicians and residents were definitive for the scope of the proposed participation.

Our aim was to characterize endothelial function in gestational diabetes by evaluating the reactive hyperemia index (RHI, LnRHI). A prospective, descriptive and comparative study was conducted on a population of pregnant women aged over 20 and under 36, located in the gestational age group 24-38th week of amenorrhea. They were divided into two groups. Group 1 (G1): group of pregnancies without diabetes, consists of pregnant women with no risk factor for gestational diabetes and with normal fasting blood glucose. Group 2 (G2): group of pregnancies with diabetes, includes pregnancies whose oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) came back positive. Anthropo-physiological parameters (age, weight, height, blood pressure (PA) and biochemical parameters (glycemia, insulinemia, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, triglycerides) were measured. RHI and LnRHI were determined at Endopat 2000. The two groups were matched for age, weight, heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). Levels of glucose (G1:0.76±0.11; G2:1.11±0.11; p˂0.0001), insulin (G1:7.67±4.35; G2:22.9±3.75; p˂0.0001), HOMA-IR (G1:1.51±0.97; G2:6.29±1.23; p˂0.0001), total cholesterol (G1:1±0.81; G2:2.49±0.74; p=0.002), HDL cholesterol (G1:0.45±0.23; G2: 0.8±0.19; p=0.004, LDL cholesterol (G1:0.42±0.54; G2:1.39±0.6; p=0.004), triglycerides (G1:0.65±0.49; G2:1.48±0.27; p=0.0018), were significantly higher in the diabetic group. Both RHI and LnRHI were negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (respectively, r=-0.8931, p<0.0001; r=-0.8938; p<0.0001). HOMA-IR index was independently associated with levels of RHI and LnRHI (respectively r²=0.797; p<0.0001); (r²=0.804; p<0.0001)). Thus, gestational insulin resistance would be associated with a change in endothelial function such as a decrease in endothelium-dependent vasodilatation reflecting endothelial dysfunction, hence an increase in cardiovascular risk.

Mumps is endemic worldwide, with epidemics every 3-5 years in unvaccinated populations. After the introduction of the mumps vaccine in the national immunization schedule, the number of reported cases declined by >97% in 1989 until an outbreak of 6584 cases was reported in 2006 even in populations with high-level vaccination coverage and all the patients had a history of vaccination. Here we present a case of mumps with aseptic meningitis in a 42-year-old female. Although historically mumps was a disease of childhood, with most cases occurring in children 5-9 years of age, mumps now most frequently occur in older age groups. This shift in age distribution and the occurrence of mumps in the vaccinated population suggest a waning of vaccine immunity.
