Published: June 2021

Work's purpose is an opening of information technologies role in distant education for development of subject activity. As a result of research the role of information technologies in distant education for development of subject activity is exposed. It is rotined psychological phenomenon of subject activity is determined as a measure of purposefulness display of individual acivity which is aimed at transformation of external (objective) or/and internal (subjective) reality. In a copula with forming of independence, criticism of perception, intention and abilities for permanent self-training, activity and initiativeness, information educational technologies are connected for condition forming, in which high-efficiency thought and subject activity are formed. Learner is perceived not as passive object of learning, but as an active subject which internalizes knowledge in the process of his/her activity, carries out subject activity, puts and achieves educational goals. Setting of learning aims of students from teacher's side is replaced by their own educational aims determination, construction of individual trajectories and rates of education, depending on own personality features, necessities, advantages and persuasions. Thus, information technologies become not instruments of teachers influence on students for translation of «prepared knowledges», but instruments of opening of their own subject activity, independent intellectual creation, thought. Distant learning and education, foremost in the context of virtual educational environments functioning, are factors of subject activity development of educational process participants. Among technologies assist this development, distant educational courses, internet trainings, webinars, video conferences, on-line discussions in the format of chats and groups in social networks etc. are especially selected.

Published: June 2021

The article addresses a brief historical overview of resilience research over decades, provides different approaches for resilience definition, focuses on psychological factors connected to resilience and possible recommendations for resilience building. In this article we consider resilience of the individual in the frame of well-being, despite the adversities; rapid recovery from injury; ability to constructively reflect complex situations; competent functioning in conditions of stress and troubles; positive adaptation, despite the experience of being in stressful situations; ability to overcome difficulties. The following attributes were distinguished to define resilience concept: self-esteem, self-reliance and social responsiveness. In Ukraine the study of resilience in many cases is considered in terms of the consequences of military conflict. The terms hardiness, invulnerability, viability and stress resistance are used by Ukrainian scientists along with resilience to denote the resources to overcome emergencies and stressful situations, psychological consequences of traumatic stress, loss and other adversities. It is recommend to consider the following components in order to increase the capacity for resilience: accept changes, learn from the past, maintain a hopeful outlook, keep things in perspective, practice mindfulness, move toward the goals, keep physical activity, prioritize relationships, join a group, help others, look for opportunities for self-discovery.

Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of using the critical thinking and reflection in the conditions of blurring the boundaries between nano-, bio-, information technology and cognitive sciences. The regularities and interrelation of reflection and critical thinking of the individual in the information society are studied. The article attempts to reveal modern views on the nature of thinking, to analyze the concepts of "reflection" and "critical thinking", to explore the interdependent connections and relationships between them. It is noted that due using the latest technologies, it is necessary to re-evaluate the functions and role of reflection and critical thinking in the modern information environment of human development. The discovery of new properties of brain structures (introduction of the concept of "default network") requires understanding of the laws of its work and taking into account when determining the role, functions and capabilities of reflection and critical thinking. Given the results of recent research, it must be acknowledged thinking critically means understanding we have prejudices that unlike to get rid of. Only by realizing our own bias do we have the opportunity to abandon them and embark on the path of finding alternative solutions of our own.
PROJECT WAY FOR SUBJECTNESS DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   G.S. Kostiuk Institute of Psychology of NAES of Ukraine, Pavlo Ditjuk
Published: June 2021

The article shows some attitudes between subjectness, activity and free choice. Subjectness is ability to awareness of choices for taking decision and doing. Activity is ability to act on the basis of individual goals, senses and intentions. Choice is the volitional action of making a decision to choose a course of action from a certain range of those that are conscious. The choice can be difficult to implement given the similarity of options, or awareness of the complexity of practical implementation and the likelihood of negative outcomes and consequences. A particular complication is that choosing any option usually leads to the abandonment of other options that may also be attractive. There is conception of individual development in general as development of thinking and doing ways. The main way to develop is the organization of reflection, including prospective. There is a review of concept, structure and process of professional group development training that built as individual reflection and projects designs. Also some experimental study results and discussion about it.

Published: June 2021

The article presents the results of research aimed at determining the characteristics of the relationships of personal and professional characteristics and professional hardiness of trade union workers. It is emphasized that due to the significant increase in stress on a person, the problem of ensuring its hardiness and, in particular, professional hardiness can be considered one of the leading for modern psychology. The study with the participation of 32 trade union workers in Kyiv found that to the greatest extent the indicators of their professional hardiness are interrelated with the level of satisfaction with their profession and work. This level is most closely correlated with professional acceptance of the challenge, emotional and professional components, as well as with the general level of professional hardiness. Quite noticeably, the level of professional self-efficacy of trade union workers is interrelated with indicators of professional hardiness. The connections with the indicators of professional motivation are expressed much weaker and ambiguous, which may serve as evidence of the expressed specificity, and maybe even - certain distortions in the professional-motivational sphere of trade union workers. Among the indicators of occupational burnout and deformity, with which the professional hardiness of trade union workers is mostly negative connections, there is a particularly negative correlation with emotional exhaustion, which can be considered as the most pronounced factor unfavorable to the professional hardiness of trade union workers. Prospects for further research are to develop on the basis of this results the practical technological approaches aimed at strengthening the professional hardiness of trade union workers. Keywords: hardiness, professional hardiness, trade union workers, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, professional motivation, professional "burnout".
THE PARADIGM OF «PERSONALITY ‒ EDUCATIONAL SPACE»: THE FIRST CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS MADE BY G.S. KOSTYUK
Authors:   Kostiuk Institute of Psychology NAES Kyiv, Musiiaka Nataliia
Published: June 2021

The article presents a new aspect of the scientific heritage of G.S. Kostiuk, the founder of modern national psychology: the conceptual analysis of the paradigm «personality ‒ educational space» made by the scientists for the first time in the late 40’s of the twentieth century. G.S. Kostiuk, basing on his theory of children’s mental development, created the concept of personality appearance, development and formation during education. We examined the scientists’ multi-vector panoramic vision of the duality «growing personality formation ‒ educational space» and G.S. Kostiuk’s conceptual understanding of the essence of a child’s personality formation. We argue that G.S. Kostiuk found a fundamentally original way to examine a child’s personality development during education. The scientist revealed the psychological essence of learning; here were the determinant ideas of subjectivity and development and self-development, and special attention was paid to children’s mental development, as well as formed consciousness and self-awareness. The school education was studied by the scientist via joint activities with a specific vector, namely, «pupil ‒ teacher» actions. Analyzing the «pupil ‒ team» system in education, G.S. Kostyuk developed the idea of «full development of each child’s personality». Revealing the psychological essence of learning, G.S. Kostiuk also considered one of the core educational problems ‒ personal determination for a pupil’s effective active learning. The scientist discovered a fundamental theoretical-methodological path leading toward latest research technologies for personality formation and development in the educational space.

Published: June 2021

Three Australian species with sequestrate basidiome forms are recorded for the first time in the genus Lactifluus based on nuclear ITS-LSU and morphological data. These species represent three rare independent evolutionary events resulting in sequestrate basidiomes arising from agaricoid species in three different sections in two subgenera. All three species have highly reduced basidiome forms, and no species with intermediate forms have been found. Lactifluus dendriticus is unique in the genus in having highly branched, dendritic terminal elements in the pileipellis. We provide full descriptions of two species: Zelleromyces dendriticus (= Lactifluus dendriticus comb. nov.) in Lactifluus subg. Lactifluus sect. Gerardii, and Lactifluus geoprofluens sp. nov. in Lf. subg. Lactifluus sect. Lactifluus. A reduced description is provided for the third, Lactifluus sp. prov. KV181 in Lf. subg.

Motherhood and theory of mind: increased activation in affective theory of mind and emotion processing areas
Authors: Plank Irene Sophia , Attar Catherine Hindi , Kunas Stefanie , Dziobek Isabel , Bermpohl Felix
Published: June 2021

There is growing evidence that parenthood changes how people face the specific needs and requests of infants and children, especially their own. However, little is known about the influence of parenthood on theory of mind, the capacity to infer mental and affective states of others and derive action predictions based on these states. It is also unclear whether the effects of parenthood generalise to inferring states of adults or are specific to children. In this study, we investigated neural activation in mothers and women without children during an affective theory of mind task that focuses on predicting action intentions from both child and adult faces. Region-of-interest analyses showed that both emotion and theory of mind areas were activated more strongly in mothers than women without children. These differences were not specific to child stimuli but occurred in response to both adult and child stimuli. Different neural recruitment of emotion and theory of mind related areas might indicate that mothers and non-mothers employ different strategies to infer action intentions from affective faces. Whether these general differences in affective theory of mind between mothers and non-mothers are due to biological or experience-related changes should be subject of further investigation.

Resume partai politik dan pemilihan umum“Partai politik dan sistem pemilu” Partai politik dan sistem pemilu saling berkaitan satu sama lain. Partai politik tanpa sistem pemilu yang baik akan menyebabkan partai politik kehilangan wadah sehingga membuatnya menjadi tidak teratur dan stabil. Misalnya, pembagian/penetapan jumlah kursi di parlemen tidak jelas sehingga membutuhkan proses yang panjang, sebagaimana pengalaman pemilu 1999. Sementara, sebaik apapun sistem pemilu, tanpa berkualitasnya partai politik, hasil pemilu yang diselenggarakan akan kosong. Adapun sistem pemilu merupakan pilihan yang formatnya dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan (politik) bangsa negara Indonesia, tetapi penguatan partai politik tidak berarti apa-apa jika tidak disertai oleh penguatan sistem pemilu.Berkenaan dengan peranan partai politik, Ramlan Surbakti (1992,175) mengatakan bahwa terdapat beberapa tipe perwakilan, Salah satu wujud pelibatan masyarakat dalam proses politik adalah pemilihan umum (pemilu). Pemilu merupakan sarana bagi masyarakat untuk ikut menentukan figur dan arah kepemimpinan negara atau daerah dalam periode tertentu. Ketika demokrasi mendapat perhatian yang luas dari masyarakat dunia, penyelenggaraan pemilu yang demokratis menjadi syarat penting dalam pembentukan kepemimpinan sebuah negara. Pemilu memiliki fungsi utama untuk menghasilkan kepemimpinan yang benar-benar mendekati kehendak rakyat. Oleh karena itu, pemilu merupakan salah satu sarana legitimasi kekuasaan. Pemilu dapat dikatakan aspiratif dan demokratis apabila memenuhi beberapa persyaratan. Pertama, pemilu harus bersifat kompetitif, dalam artian peserta pemilu harus bebas dan otonom. Kedua, pemilu yang diselenggarakan secara berkala, dalam artian pemilu harus diselenggarakan secara teratur dengan jarak waktu yang jelas. Ketiga, pemilu harus inklusif, artinya semua kelompok masyarakat harus memiliki peluang yang sama untuk berpartisipasi dalam pemilu. Tidak ada satu pun kelompok yang diperlakukan secara diskriminatif dalam proses pemilu. Keempat, pemilih harus diberi keleluasaan untuk mempertimbangkan dan mendiskusikan alternatif pilihannya dalam suasana bebas, tidak di bawah tekanan, dan akses memperoleh informasi yang luas. Kelima, penyelenggara pemilu yang tidak memihak dan independen.Halaman

To grasp the world at a glance: The role of attention in visual and semantic associative processing
Authors: Gronau Nurit
Published: June 2021

Associative relations among words, concepts and percepts are the core building blocks of high-level cognition. When viewing the world ‘at a glance’, the associative relations between objects in a scene, or between an object and its visual background are extracted rapidly. The extent to which such relational processing requires attentional capacity, however, has been heavily disputed over the years. In the present manuscript I review studies investigating scene-object and object-object associative processing. I then present a series of studies in which I assessed the necessity of spatial attention to various types of visual-semantic relations within a scene. Importantly, in all studies, the spatial and temporal aspects of visual attention were tightly controlled in an attempt to minimize unintentional attention shifts from ‘attended’ to ‘unattended’ regions. Pairs of stimuli - either objects, scenes, or a scene and an object - were briefly presented on each trial, while participants were asked to detect a pre-defined category of stimuli (e.g., an animal, a nonsense shape). Response times (RTs) to the target detection task were registered when visual attention spanned both stimuli in a pair vs. when attention was focused on only one of two stimuli. Findings consistently demonstrated rapid associative processing when stimuli were fully attended, i.e., shorter RTs to associated than unassociated pairs. Focusing attention on a single stimulus only, however, largely impaired this relational processing. The only exception to this result pattern was observed with the target stimuli that were prioritized by task demands: such stimuli continued to affect performance even when positioned at an unattended location, indicating that their relations with the attended items were well processed and analyzed. Our findings suggest that attention plays a critical role in processing visual-associative relations when these involve stimuli that are irrelevant to one's immediate goals.

Emotion prediction errors guide socially adaptive behavior
Authors: Heffner Joseph , Son Jae-Young , FeldmanHall Oriel
Published: June 2021

People make decisions based on deviations from expected outcomes, known as prediction errors. Past work has focused on reward prediction errors, largely ignoring violations of expected emotional experiences—emotion prediction errors. We leverage a new method to measure real-time fluctuations in emotion as people decide to punish or forgive others. Across four studies (N=1,016), we reveal that emotion and reward prediction errors have distinguishable contributions to choice, such that emotion prediction errors exert the strongest impact during decision-making. We additionally find that a choice to punish or forgive can be decoded in less than a second from an evolving emotional response, suggesting emotions swiftly influence choice. Finally, individuals reporting significant levels of depression exhibit selective impairments in using emotion—but not reward—prediction errors. Evidence for emotion prediction errors potently guiding social behaviors challenge standard decision-making models that have focused solely on reward.
A bibliometric evaluation of the impact of theories of consciousness in academia and on social media
Authors: Yeung Andy Wai Kan , Cushing Cody , Lee Alan L. F.
Published: June 2021

Consciousness science faces both opportunities and challenges as it has been maturing as a discipline of science in recent years. Some popular theories of consciousness have been described as unfalsifiable and some as“overpromoted” in the media. To objectively evaluate the state of consciousness science as a field, we analyzed the bibliometric data for five major theories of consciousness, namely, Global workspace (GWT), Higher-order (HOT), Integrated information (IIT), Local recurrent (LRT), and Quantum theories (QT). We analyzed data for both academic publications and citations (2004-2019) and Twitter activity data (2011-2019). We found that the theories varied in terms of their impact in academia and on social media. Specifically, IIT was found to have the highest and fastest-growing raw counts of publication and citation, but have lower per-publication citation counts and proportion of citations with empirical support/contradiction as evaluated by a machine-learning algorithm. The data on social media revealed that IIT was the “most-tweeted” theory, though, together with QT, Twitter mentions of their core papers mostly came from the general public instead of from professionals. Our findings suggest that a theory’s impact quality could be related to its degree of media promotion.

Published: June 2021

In the presence of a continually changing sensory environment, maintaining stable but flexible awareness is paramount, and requires continual organization of information. Determining which stimulus features belong together, and which are separate is therefore one of the primary tasks of the sensory systems. Unknown is whether there is a global or sensory-specific mechanism that regulates the final perceptual outcome of this streaming process. To test the extent of modality independence in perceptual control, an auditory streaming experiment, and a visual moving-plaid experiment were performed. Both were designed to evoke alternating perception of an integrated or segregated percept. In both experiments, transient auditory and visual distractor stimuli were presented in separate blocks, such that the distractors did not overlap in frequency or space with the streaming or plaid stimuli, respectively, thus preventing peripheral interference. When a distractor was presented in the opposite modality as the bistable stimulus (visual distractors during auditory streaming or auditory distractors during visual streaming), the probability of percept switching was not significantly different than when no distractor was presented. Conversely, significant differences in switch probability were observed following within-modality distractors, but only when the pre-distractor percept was segregated. Due to the modality-specificity of the distractor-induced resetting, the results suggest that conscious perception is at least partially controlled by modality-specific processing. The fact that the distractors did not have peripheral overlap with the bistable stimuli indicates that the perceptual reset is due to interference at a locus in which stimuli of different frequencies and spatial locations are integrated.
Reducing Teachers’ Unfounded Beliefs Through Critical-Thinking Education: A Non-Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Caroti Denis , Adam-Troian Jais , Arciszewski Thomas
Published: June 2021

The prevalence of unfounded beliefs (UB; e.g. supernatural or conspiracy beliefs) remains an important issue due to their negative consequences in various domains. Interventions were shown to reduce supernatural UB only when addressing pseudoscientific beliefs. Based on these findings, we designed a single session intervention aiming to teach participants the epistemological distinction between science and pseudoscience. We then assessed the effectiveness of this intervention. Secondary school teachers (N = 130) were assigned to one of two groups focusing on critical thinking with or without the intervention content related to pseudoscience. UB (supernatural, conspiracy, pattern perception) were measured using computerized surveys pre- and one moth post-intervention. Mixed-model analyses revealed the expected decrease in conspiracy UB, d = .60, supernatural UB, d = 1.01 and illusory pattern perception, d = .34 among teachers in the pseudoscience-focused group. Our intervention constitutes a novel cost-effective tool for critical thinking promotion among education professionals.

Published: June 2021

The present study examined the associations of physical fitness and motorcompetence with P3 and alpha desynchronization (ERD), two neuroelectric indices ofbrain development underlying controlled attention, in 4-6 year-old preschool children. Allparticipants completed physical fitness and motor competence test batteries and anauditory oddball task while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. Resultsrevealed that increased muscular power, muscular endurance, physical fitness, andmotor competence were associated better attentional task performance. Analysis onneuroelectric indices showed that muscular endurance was related to increased P3amplitude, while the increases in physical fitness and motor competence wereassociated with greater upper alpha (10-12 Hz) ERD following the stimulus evaluationand response selection. Further, the negative associations of physical fitness and motorcompetence with task response time were mediated by the upper alpha ERD. Thesefindings highlight the importance of early childhood motor competence and physicalfitness, especially muscular endurance, to neurocognitive function.
Emotional Intelligence and Bargaining Behavior
Authors: Sazhin Daniel
Published: June 2021

In this experiment, we examined how trait Emotional Intelligence (EI) related tobehavior in social bargaining tasks. EI is theoretically related to both higher trait levels of empathy and better emotional regulation. More empathetic people may act more generously toward a bargaining partner. Subjects with better emotional regulation may be better at controlling their emotions in bargaining situations, which may help them make more self-interested choices. We used the Ultimatum and Dictator games to measure whether higher EI individuals behaved more generously or selfishly. These games are played between two people, where one person receives an endowment from the experimenter and decides how much to share with a recipient. The Ultimatum Game allows the recipient to reject offers, which forces the proposer to give his money back to the experimenter. In the Dictator Game, the recipient is unable to reject the proposer's offer. To maximize earnings, the most strategic thing to do in the Ultimatum Game is to make offers closer to even splits to avoid getting rejected by one's partner and to keep the whole endowment in the Dictator Game where there is no threat of retribution. Conversely, if a subject is motivated by fairness, they would make fair offers in both games. We found that subjects with higher EI acted strategically by being fair in the Ultimatum Game and selfish in the Dictator Game. These findings suggest that EI predicts more self interested behavior in bargaining situations.

Translating across Languages and Cultures: A Study of Culture-Specific Terms in Bhattarai’s Muglan
Authors: Neupane Nabaraj
Published: June 2021

The article aims to explore and categorize culture-specific terms (CSTs) in Bhattarai’s novel Muglan, investigate and analyze the strategies applied in the translated version, assess the strategies for plausibility and evaluate gaps in translation. The data for the study were collected from Nepali and English versions of the novel. The basic technique for collecting data was the observation, which was done by using a checklist. The selection of the 220 cultural terms from the novel was done by applying a purposive sampling procedure. They were investigated in terms of five categories and seven strategies. The major finding of the research was that the terms, categorized into five types, employed seven strategies. The most frequent strategy was the translation by cultural substitution, followed by loan word (plus explanation), neutral word and general word. The subsequent strategies were translation by paraphrase (related words), paraphrase (unrelated words) and omission. Moreover, not specific but different reasons were found in the selection and use of the strategies. Finally, the study found that cultural references necessitate the use of appropriate strategies for transferring them across languages.

The synthesis, structure, and luminescent propertiesof a samarium(III) complex (A2) containing benzoyltrifluoroacetone (HTFPB) and 1,2-bis[(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)amino]ethane (BAAE2) ligands are herein reported. The structure of A2 has been elucidated by infrared spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallographic analysis demonstrated that A2 has a mononuclear structure with a formula of Sm(TFPB)3(BAAE2) in which Sm3+ ion is coordinated to six O-atoms from three TFPB ligands and two N-atoms from one ancillary ligand (BAAE2). UV-Vis data show that A2 strongly absorbs in the region of 220-400 nm. Nonetheless, A2 gives poor emission due to a quenching effect of the anthracenyl moiety.

We previously demonstrated that Panax notoginseng (pNG) root extract treatments exertedneuroprotective effects on brain injuries using middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. The present study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effects of PNG extract and its ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 on ischemic neuronal damage caused by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) in mouse organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs). Before the experiments, hippocampal slices collected from 7-day-old Swiss mice were cultured for 7 days. OGD was triggered in OHSCs for 30, 60, or 90 min with the aim of finding the optimal period of OGD for drug testing. PNG extract (10, 30 μg/ml), ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 (5, 25 μM), or MK-801 25 μM, a reference drug, was added to the culture medium 24 h before OGD and these treatments were continued for 24 h after the optimum 60-min period of OGD. After 24 h of OGD exposure, the measurement of propidium iodide uptake was analysed in OHSCs to evaluate neuronal cell damage. The results showed that OGD time-dependently increased PI uptake of the OHSCs. PNG 30 μg/ml treatment reduced the OGD-induced neuronal cell damage in OHSCs. Ginsenosides Rg1 25 μM, Rb1 (5, 25 μM), as well as MK-801 (25 μM) significantly inhibited PI uptake 24 h after OGD exposure. However, ginsenoside Rg1 5 μM did not show any significant effects on the OGD-induced neuronal cell damage. These findings indicated that ginsenosides Rg1 and Rb1 contributed to the neuroprotective effects of PNG against ischemic damage in OHSCs and the neuroprotective effect of ginsenoside Rb1 was stronger than that of ginsenoside Rg1.
Herbicide resistant weeds: the case of resistance to glyphosate
Authors:   Plant Resources Center, Vietnam Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Ngo The Duc

Glyphosate has become the most widely used herbicide worldwide since 1974 with a global use of 8.6 billion kg (glyphosate active ingredient) between 1974 and 2014. This study reports on glyphosate resistant (GR) weeds and their resistance mechanisms based on global scientifically reported cases. Forty-nine different weed species have evolved resistance to glyphosate in 29 countries with a total of 318 identified cases worldwide. Fifty percent of these resistance cases were found in glyphosate-resistant cropping systems. There were 255 identified cases (80.2%) of glyphosate resistance in the top five countries (in terms of number of cases and species), namely USA, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, and Canada. The five most popular weed species (in terms of number of cases) found to be resistant to glyphosate were Conyza canadensis, Amaranthus palmeri, Amaranthus tuberculatus, Lolium perenne ssp. Multiflorum,and Ambrosia artemisiifolia with 42, 42, 29, 26, and 21 reported cases, respectively. Out of 49 weed species, 19 GR weed species were found to not only be resistant to glyphosate but also to other herbicide sites of action (multiple herbicide resistance). Glyphosate resistance mechanisms in weeds include (1) target-site alterations: target-site mutation and target-site gene amplification; and (2) non-target-site mechanisms involving different modes of exclusion from the target site: reduced glyphosate uptake, reduced glyphosate translocation, and enhanced glyphosate metabolism. It is essential to have an integrated weed management program that includes not only smart herbicide mixtures and rotations, but also cultural, manual, mechanical, and crop-based weed management methods.
Caracterização Morfológica e Molecular de Ácaros da Família Macrochelidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) Encontrados em Estercos de Ruminantes e Avaliação de Potencial Predatório sobre Nematódeos de Interesse Veterinário
Authors:   , Anjos Karina Araújo dos
Published: June 2021

Diversas espécies de ácaros são associadas a excrementos de animais, incluindo os Macrochelidae, uma família com grande diversidade de predadores encontrados em diferentes nichos ecológicos, tais como matéria orgânica vegetal e carcaças de animais em decomposição. Esta família abrange cerca de 470 espécies de 24 gêneros identificados morfologicamente, e pouco mais de 10 tiveram seu DNA sequenciado. Algumas espécies apresentam comportamento forético em besouros e moscas. Seu papel como predadores vem sendo explorado desde a década de 1940, visando o controle de larvas de primeiro ínstar de moscas sinantrópicas e dos animais de produção. Entretanto, seu papel na predação de larvas infectantes de nematódeos gastrintestinais não tem sido explorado.

Published: June 2021

El síndrome serotoninérgico / intoxicación serotoninérgica es un cuadro clínico potencialmente mortal, desencadenado por el uso de fármacos con actividad sobre la serotonina, o bien, sobre sus receptores, en tanto que puede ocurrir mediante el uso terapéutico de este tipo de fármacos, sobredosis intencional o mediante la interacción farmacológica a través de distintos mecanismos de acción farmacológica. El cuadro clínico se presenta como un conjunto de alteraciones a nivel del estado mental, hiperactividad neuromuscular y una profusa sobreactividad del sistema nervioso autónomo. Además, el diagnóstico se basa en historia clínica y examen físico detallados con énfasis en historial de consumo de fármacos y apoyado en pruebas de laboratorio. El tratamiento está basado, principalmente, en medidas de soporte y el antagonismo farmacológico, con vital importancia en el reconocimiento y manejo temprano para evitar las complicaciones.
Reconocimiento clínico de la enfermedad de Hansen

Published: June 2021

La enfermedad de Hansen o también conocida como Lepra, es una enfermedad crónica, infecciosa, transmisible, producida por el agente Mycobacterium leprae y Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Presenta un periodo de incubación en promedio de 5 años con un rango que va desde 1 a 20 años.  Fue declarada un problema global mundial en el año 2000 y persiste con un numero constante de casos diagnosticados por año. Su vía de transmisión aún no se encuentra completamente dilucidada, las secreciones de las vías respiratorias superiores son la ruta de transmisión más común conocida hasta ahora. La presentación clínica y clasificación varían extensamente y estas dependen de la respuesta inmunológica del paciente a la infección. Actualmente se utilizan dos clasificaciones para agruparla: OMS y Ridley-Jopling. Es de gran importancia el reconcomiendo temprano de las lesiones y la educación continua sobre las mismas ya que permite un diagnóstico a tiempo, evitando el desarrollo de discapacidades.

MODELING AT ION NITRIDING
Authors: Krukovich M.
Published: June 2021

The paper analyzes the processes occurring in the saturating medium and the processed material, which makes it possible to explain the reasons for the high growth rate of phases during ion nitriding. It is shown that the kinetic coefficient is the link between the technological parameters and the output results of the process. An algorithm for calculating the output parameters of the ion nitriding process is proposed, which, taking into account the principles of similarity and identification, can be used for any steels and alloys.
