Published: June 2021

This paper develops the comparison of the volatility prediction of the traditional
models (ARIMA, EGARCH, and PARCH), with respect to the Hybrid Fuzzy Time
Series and Fuzzy ARIMA Model of Tseng’s and Tanaka’s methodology (FTS-Fuzzy
ARIMA Tseng and FTS-Fuzzy ARIMA Tanaka). For this purpose, it applies to the
time series of the foreign exchange market to forecast the foreign currency exchange rate of Mexican Pesos against American Dollar, the growth rate of the time series data in a daily format from January 2008 to December 2017, to perform the sample test is used January 2018. The main result is that the models based on fuzzy theory generate a better estimate of the volatility of the foreign exchange rate.
Grafología y Derecho en colaboración para alcanzar la justicia
Authors: Monzalvo Pérez Lizbeth Adriana
Published: June 2021

El ámbito legal y la sociedad demandan la capacitación permanente de abogados y abogadas, fiscales y jueces, ya que en ocasiones se pueden ver rebasados por la compleja personalidad humana, al punto de no percatarse de que el indiciado es realmente el autor del delito y es un psicópata, aunque se diga inocente, pues estos sujetos tienen una gran capacidad para manipular y engañar a los demás. La situación se torna significativa, porque en los últimos tiempos han fallecido muchas mujeres a manos de sus novios, esposos, ex esposos o parejas con perfiles psicópatas. Para descubrir la verdadera personalidad del imputado, los profesionales del Derecho se pueden apoyar en las ciencias forenses, como la grafología y la criminología. La grafología permite develar el engaño mediante el estudio de la escritura y brindar información valiosa al juez para mostrarle, por ejemplo, si el indiciado es violento, manipulador, inteligente y carente de empatía, o no lo es. De esta forma, el profesional tendrá un panorama más amplio del caso y un mejor criterio en la impartición de justicia. El propósito de este ensayo es esbozar algunos elementos básicos de la grafología, como los géneros gráficos y el estudio de cada letra, y ofrecer al profesional una perspectiva general sobre la detección de tendencias en la personalidad de los sujetos involucrados en una litis para el aporte de pruebas.

Authors: Sharma Shradhdha , Murty Duggirala Srinivas
Published: June 2021

Nowadays, a lot of interest has been given to the development of cost-effective and efficient enzyme production technologies. Laccase enzymes are widely used in biotechnological, environmental and industrial sectors. Due to the cost-effectiveness of the solid-state fermentation (SSF) process, it is widely used to produce a broad range of biological products. In this study, optimization of moisture content, temperature, pH, and inoculum size were studied to enhance laccase production ability of Pleurotus sajor-caju in SSF by using One Factor At Time (OFAT) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). OFAT was used as a baseline study for deducing the experimental design of RSM. The highest production of laccase enzyme (1450 U/g) by Pleurotus sajor-caju on wheat straw was observed at 26°C, 6.0 pH, 72.5 % moisture content, 7.5% inoculum size, 1% fructose and 0.5 % peptone. Unlike the conventional inoculum preparation method, here the inoculum was generated by the spawning method for SSF. The molecular weight of partially purified laccase from Pleurotus sajor-caju was estimated to be around 62 K Da using SDS PAGE. The activity staining of laccase was observed as a zymogram on Native PAGE using ABTS as a substrate. Lignin degradation of wheat straw and its structural disruption due to laccase was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Argumentation and Persistent Disagreement
Authors: Castro Diego
Published: June 2021

Some disagreements seem to be persistent: they are, pretty much, immune to persuasive argumentation. If that is the case, how can they be overcome? Can argumentation help us? I propose that to overcome persistent disagreements through argumentation, we need a dynamic and pluralistic version of argumentation. Therefore, I propose that argumentation, more than a tool that uses persuasion to change the mind of the counterpart, is a toolbox that contains persuasion, deliberation, negotiation, and other dialogical strategies that can be used to reach an agreement.

Authors: Standish Katherine R. , Gonzalez Sam C. , Roy Victor , McGuire Chelsea M. , Barnett Katherine Gergen , Saper Robert B.
Published: June 2021

Background and Objectives: Scholarship is recognized as a challenge in many family medicine residency programs. Among evaluations of scholarship curricula, few describe resident experiences of such interventions. To bridge this gap in knowledge, we measured resident confidence, satisfaction, and participation before and after implementing a new scholarship curriculum.
Methods: The redesigned curriculum included a structured project timeline, resident research in progress meetings, faculty mentorship, scholarly skills workshops, and mentored journal clubs. We conducted a curriculum evaluation via surveys of residents prior to implementation and after years 1 and 2, measuring satisfaction with the scholarly environment and opportunities, and confidence and participation in specific scholarly activities using Likert scales from 1 (least confidence) to 5.
Results: Compared to baseline (n=28), after 2 years (n=27) of the curriculum, residents reported increased mean confidence in critical appraisal of scientific articles (2.6±1.1 to 3.3±0.7, P=.007), carrying out a scholarly project (2.5±0.8 to 3.4±1.0, P=.005), and writing an abstract (3.0±0.8 to 3.8±0.7, P=.002). As compared to the first year, more residents in the second year participated in quality improvement projects (7.1% vs 29.6%, P=.031) and wrote conference abstracts (10.7% vs 37.0%, P=.022). Over the same period, those very satisfied with the scholarly environment increased from 0 (0%) to 8 (29.6%, P=.017). The June 2020 survey identified increased interest in scholarship because of the antiracism movement (51.9%) and COVID-19 pandemic (40.7%).
Conclusions: Implementation of a redesigned scholarship curriculum was associated with increases in family medicine resident scholarship confidence and satisfaction.

ResumoAs práticas culturais fundem, a todo o momento, diferentes relações entre sistemas culturais (EVEN-ZOHAR, 1990) que antes eram separados. Tais manifestações híbridas reconfiguram e desterritorializam processos simbólicos. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo realiza uma análise comparatista das relações intertextuais presentes na configuração artística do álbum Esú, do rapper brasileiro Baco Exu do Blues, em especial na faixa “Capitães de Areia” em relação ao romance quase homônimo de Jorge Amado, às referências à mitologia dos Erês, e à série fotográfica Laróyè, de Mario Cravo Neto. Para analisar as implicações dessas inter-relações na configuração cultural e identitária da obra, buscamos aporte teórico-crítico no campo dos Estudos Culturais pela perspectiva de conceitos que tentam dar conta desses processos, acerca do Hibridismo, em Néstor García Canclini, e das reflexões sobre sincretismo religioso em Sérgio Ferretti.Palavras-chave: Capitães da Areia; Hibridismo; sincretismo religioso; práticas culturais. AbstractCultural practices merge, at all times, different relationships with cultural systems (EVENN-ZOHAR, 1991) that were previously separated.

In this sense, this article performs a comparative analysis of the intertextual relations present in the artistic configuration of the album Esú, by rapper Baco Exu do Blues, especially the track “Capitães de Areia” and references to the mythology of the Erês, to the novel by Jorge Amado and Laróyè photographic series by Mario Cravo Neto. To analyze the implications of these interrelations in the cultural and identity configuration of the work, we seek theoretical-critical support in the field of Cultural Studies from the perspective of concepts that try to account for these processes, about Hybridism in Néstor García Canclini and reflections on religious syncretism in Sérgio Ferreti.Keywords: Capitães da Areia; Hybridity; religious syncretism; cultural practices.
Capacitismo e eugenia na educação brasileira: uma reflexão a partir de aproximações epistemológicas | Ableism and eugenics in Brazilian education: a reflection from epistemological approximations

ResumoTomando como referência o campo dos estudos sobre deficiência (disability studies) e a conceitualização de capacitismo – forma particular de marginalização das pessoas com deficiência –, o artigo investiga a ligação entre as ideias eugenistas e o surgimento de uma modalidade de educação destinada a essas pessoas, a educação especial. Nesse sentido, as ciências biomédicas, ao operarem uma separação entre normalidade e anormalidade ofereceram as bases necessárias para a distinção entre capazes e incapazes, tornando estes inferiores àqueles. Por sua vez, isso leva a pôr em questão as matrizes epistemológicas que subjazem tais distinções, considerando-as como participantes nos fundamentos do pensamento ocidental e, portanto, implicadas nos projetos políticos que desembocaram em segregação racial, social e desumanização de diferentes grupos.Palavras-chave: Estudos sobre Deficiência. Capacitismo. Educação. Educação Especial. AbstractTaking as reference the field of disability studies and the conceptualization of ableism - a particular form of marginalization of people with disabilities - this article investigates the connection between eugenic ideas and the emergence of a modality of education aimed at these people: special education. In this sense, the biomedical sciences offered, by operating a separation between normality and abnormality, the necessary basis for the distinction between capable and incapable, making these inferior to those. In turn, this leads us to question the epistemological matrices that underlie such distinctions, considering them as participants in the foundations of Western thought and, therefore, implicated in the political projects that led to racial, social segregation and dehumanization of different groups.Keywords: Disability Studies.

We at SEA believe that the pandemic has a granularity of meta, non-linear narratives that become useful in making sense of the relational complexities of the pandemic and society. Thus, we set out to collect stories of fears, joys, agilities, fragilities, friendships, networks, collectives, home, work, infrastructures, entrepreneurship, privileges, marginalizations, migrations, desperation, gender, equity, etc. The glossary as a method became useful to reflect on this granularity of experiences and account for slippages during these times. These spatio-temporal stories, when read together or as individual instances produce a new sense of the emergent contemporary. This framework also allows us to speculate on the kind of world we will inhabit once the storm has passed.

Salt stress slows down dynamic photosynthesis mainly through osmotic effects on dynamic stomatal behavior
Authors: Zhang Yuqi , Kaiser Elias , Li Tao , Marcelis L.F.M.
Published: June 2021

Salt stress affects stomatal behavior and photosynthesis, by a
combination of osmotic and ionic components, but it is unknown how these
components affect photosynthesis dynamics under fluctuating light.
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants were grown using a reference
nutrient solution (Control, EC: 2.3 dS m-1), the reference containing
extra macronutrients (only osmotic effect; EC: 12.6 dS m-1), or the
reference containing an additional 100 mM NaCl (osmotic and ionic
effects; EC: 12.8 dS m-1). Steady-state and dynamic photosynthesis along
with leaf biochemistry were characterized throughout leaf development.
Osmotic effects resulted in increased leaf chlorophyll content per unit
leaf area, induced stomatal closure along with rapid stomatal responses
to changes in light intensity, and limited dynamic but not steady-state
photosynthesis. Ionic effects were barely observed in plant growth and
dynamic photosynthesis, but led to a reduction in leaf chlorophyll
content and photosynthetic capacity in old leaves. Steady-state and
dynamic photosynthesis traits decreased with leaf age, due to increases
in stomatal and non-stomatal limitations. With increasing leaf age,
rates of light-triggered stomatal movement decreased across treatments,
which is more strongly for stomatal opening rather than closure. We
conclude that osmotic effect strongly impacts dynamic stomatal and
photosynthetic behavior under salt stress.

The curriculum is something that cannot be avoided in interacting with the educational environment. Covid-19, which has become a pandemic in more than 200 countries in the world, demands changes in various fields, including education, in this case the curriculum. This study aims to examine the status, all things considered, ranging from teachers, learning facilities, students and school partnerships, namely the school committee (parents of students). on the one hand, the readiness of some teachers in mastering technology is still not optimal as a demand for distance learning and the school is not yet optimal in disseminating the curriculum for independent learning or the enactment of the curriculum during the pandemic. This investigation utilizes an illustrative subjective technique which means analyzing and afterward describing the problem obviously, sourced from library research with metaphysical realism as the approach. To help understudies influenced by the pandemic and possibly left behind, instructors are required to complete a symptomatic evaluation. The aftereffects of the appraisal are utilized as the reason for choosing learning procedures and giving healing or extra exercises to understudies who are generally given up. Therefore, we need a humanistic educational approach. The concept of humanistic education aims to make humans have awareness, freedom, and responsibility as individuals but in fact live in society.

Seagrass, bioindicator, light, water quality, Zostera marina, Zostera noltii, Halodule wrightii, monitoring, Chlorophyll fluorescence, stable isotope, nutrients.
Authors:   , Bertelli Chiara M.
Published: June 2021

This thesis aims to investigate the effect of environmental drivers on seagrasses by studying shoot-scale and meadow-scale responses, focussing on Zostera marina, Zostera noltii and Halodule wrightii. Seagrasses are plants that have evolved from being terrestrial to living in an entirely marine environment which means they have become highly adapted. The conditions that effect seagrass growth can also be described as drivers as they have the ability to modify seagrass meadows in a variety of ways. These drivers can either be natural environmental factors or anthropogenic processes directly or indirectly affecting the marine environment in which seagrasses are found. These responses environmental conditions allow seagrasses to be used as indicators of the health of our coastal waters with poor water quality causing substantial impacts on seagrasses. Better knowledge of seagrass responses to local environmental conditions will help the identification of stressors which can then be managed. It will also help to comprehend the degree of risk to be expected from the threat of climate change including increased storm events, rises in sea level and sea temperature, and ocean acidification. Mitigating existing or potential impacts that lead to a reduction in water quality will improve the overall health and resilience of the seagrass to future threats from climate change.

Para lo anterior, se tomaron datos de la Encuesta Origen Destino en Hogares de la Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México (EOD) 2017 del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía [Inegi] (2017). La muestra fue de 160 095 personas. Se realizó la prueba del coeficiente de Pearson para determinar el grado de correlación entre las variables relacionadas con la movilidad. Los resultados reflejaron lo siguiente: el género (0.8865) se relaciona con el propósito de ir al hogar (0.9200), ir al trabajo (0.8967), al lugar de estudio (0.9971), para ir de compras (0.7898), al lugar de convivencia (0.9528), para llevar a alguien a un destino (0.7282), para realizar trámites (0.9808), para acudir a un recinto de salud (0.8944) y para acudir a un lugar religioso (0.8115). Se concluye que la correlación más alta es en el desplazamiento para ir a estudiar; enseguida, para acudir a lugares de convivencia, y un tercer motivo, dirigirse al hogar. Finalmente, se propone considerar la formación humana e incidir de manera directa desde la educación para formar agentes de transformación y lograr una administración eficiente del transporte público.
Evaluation of EU Activities to Strengthen Democracy in Member States of the Last Waves of Enlargement
Authors: Khoma Nataliia , Vdovychyn Ihor
Published: June 2021

The article’s purpose is to assess the effectiveness of EU policies concerning strengthen the quality of democracy in the member states. The research methods are aimed at proving the hypothesis about a decrease in impact (initiatives, control, etc.) of EU institutions on deepening democratic modernization, as a result of a discrepancy on debatable issues between the “young” democracies of the EU (like the Baltic States) and the liberal democratic course of the EU. The research is based on the methodology of neo-institutionalism, value approach and political comparative studies. The results of the study have led to the conclusion that the current goals of the EU are not sufficiently focused on the issue of the quality of democracy in the member states. The need to revitalize the EU in the direction of monitoring the observance of democratic standards is explained by the stagnation/regression of the quality of democracy in these states of the latest EU expansion. The actions of EU institutions in relation to member states, where stagnation/regression of democracy has been manifested, were assessed as inappropriate regarding the possible consequences of this destructive process. Insufficient attention by the EU to strengthening its values on which the EU is based was noted, that is seen as the main reason for the current deterioration in the quality of democracy. The urgency of this new format for European democracy, of really effective mechanisms for ensuring its quality was stated. The authors mentioned a number of open questions that require further study, in particular: 1) are EU initiatives able to reduce the democratic deficit in its member states?; 2) how strong should the EU's control be over the observance of these standards and values of democracy so that it does not contradict the principles of democracy? Attention is drawn to the need of further clarifying these mechanisms which the EU should implement in relation to its member states in order to strengthen the quality of national democratic political systems.
Energy Aspect of Ukrainian-Russian Conflict of the End of XX and the XXI Centuries
Authors: Lutsyshyn Halyna , Lukach Nataliia
Published: June 2021

The article deals with bilateral Russia and Ukraine power relations, urgent questions of their cooperation and form of realization of large Russia foreign economic projects. The separation of bilateral Ukrainian-Russian relations in the energy sector is quite conditional, the authors have studied. Because they are objectively inscribed in the relations of both countries with a third party – first of all, European countries as consumers of energy resources transported through the territory of Ukraine. Thus, both from the point of view of the technological chain (producer-transit-consumer) and from the economic point of view (seller-provider of transportation services-buyer), these relations should be considered in a tripartite format. It tries to determine possible threats of Ukraine’s national security in the context of Russia foreign power strategy realization. Ukrainian-Russian relations in the energy sector are quite dynamic, but cannot be assessed unambiguously due to the presence of a combination of positive and negative factors and trends. They largely depend on the general state of relations between the two capitals, and sometimes have a decisive influence on them. It has been investigated that the weaknesses of the Ukrainian energy sector since independence in 1991 shed light on the fundamental link between energy security and national security. From the point of view of global energy processes, one should take into account the favorable geopolitical and geographical position of Ukraine and its related role as a transit state. The integration of the Ukrainian energy system into the European one is a component of Ukraine’s strategic goal of joining the EU. Ukraine has a sufficiently strong and developed gas, oil and electricity networks, connected to the transport networks of the EU and CIS countries: Russia, Moldova, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, which allows it to participate in the formation of European energy policy and common energy market, play an important role in energy cooperation between the CIS and the EU.
The Role of Education in Overcoming the Negative Information Impacts Under the Post-True Era
Authors: Dorosh Lesia
Published: June 2021

The peculiarities of the post-truth interpretation, its key political manifestations and its impact on modern global society have been analyzed. It is asserted about the importance of education in combating the negative effects of post-truth political practice. It is argued that the key mechanism for counteracting the spread of post-truth practices in the information sphere, reducing its destructive impact is the formation of the need of citizens to combat misinformation and strengthen their ability to process, including decode, the information, to separate its useful components from harmful ones. It has been found that researchers of the problems caused by the emergence of the post-truth phenomenon propose to consider them within four approaches, each of which uses different options to analyze the challenges posed by thinking within the paradigm of post-truth. It is about such approaches related to the analysis of ways of knowing: not knowing how to know; fallible ways of knowing; not caring about truth (enough) and disagreeing about how to know. Within each approach, researchers propose: (a) an explanation of how people’s ways of knowing can influence trends in the post-truth phenomenon in general, (b) an analysis of how education might aggravate this problem and (c) suggestions on how education can mitigate the problem. It is emphasized that the phenomenon of post-truth arises at the intersection of different contexts, it is, therefore, necessary to look for ways and develop educational guidelines to address social and political issues, and encourage public participation that will provide individuals with political practices that empirically challenge the post-truth thesis. It is determined the necessity for closer cooperation between politicians, social workers, scholars and educators to develop interdisciplinary guidelines that can respond to the challenges of the post-truth era, contribute to the improvement of thinking about the problems that exist in the post-truth world.
The Gaia Hypothesis in the Context of Global Challenges of Modernity
Authors: Lasareva Maryna
Published: June 2021

The essential break in the connection between a human and nature, crisis situations and terrible cataclysms, loneliness, awareness of fragility of one's own being, which an individual face in his everyday life, actualize the rethinking of a human's place in the world. Consequently, the interpretation of our planet as a universal living system that maintains balance and independently regulates processes, designed to provide the most optimal living conditions for all species, is gaining considerable popularity today. In addition to analyzing this issue, the purpose of the article is also to consider the processes of changing the human's consumerist attitude to nature. In the paper, the author uses a comparative-critical method, which made it possible to compare various approaches to the interpretation of Gaia and the processes that occur on our planet. The methodological basis of the article also includes general scientific methods, which allowed making an assumption that Gaia, controlling not only biological, but also mental processes, is able to spread certain ideas among living beings. In general, the article analyzes the sphere of the cultural industry, in which we are able to find artistic reflections of environmentally oriented sentiments and theories, aimed at interpreting the planet as a living organism. The results of scientific research that argue for the presence of consciousness and communication methods in living organisms (and not only human ones) are considered. In this context presented the analysis of the research, according to which a person cannot be recognized as an individual, closed, absolutely complete system. Instead, arguments are outlined in favor of defining human as a holobiont – a system of diverse organisms that constantly interact with each other.
