This literature review provides current information about intrauterine growth retardation (IGR) as one of the causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality. There is a sustaining trend to augmentation of the UGR level despite the new methods of diagnostics, treatment and prevention development. Furthermore, there is high percentage of complications among children with IGR at any age. Therefore, early diagnostics of accompanying diseases in children with IGR sparks the interest, especially in view of the fact the new diagnostic methods incipience. The article highlights the features of the neonatal immune response, including the one in children with IGR. These data indicate the predominance of non-specific immune response over specific one, prevalence of generalized inflammation, decreased activity of phagocytes, neutrophils, specific antigen-presenting cells (APC) as a response to most of the Toll-like receptor agonists (TLRAs), high levels of interleukin-6 and interleuken-23. Moreover, analyzed sources demonstrate spurt of growth of the levels of proinflammatory factors, despite the fact of their relatively low levels in neonates with IGR right after birth. Increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines on the ground of systemic inflammation is an unfavorable factor of the course of the disease. In addition, the review contents the information about microRNA presence in the breast milk. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs of 19–23 nucleotides in length that regulate the expression of the target gene. Breast milk microRNAs are resistant to the enzymes of the gastrointestinal tract of the child and are mainly absorbed. There are the data, proving the change of the transcriptome of the breast milk microRNA depending on the gestational age, the nature of labor, the mother's diet, her medication. According to the mentioned studies, the breast milk microRNA, that are detected in the early stages of lactation (miR-155, miR-148a, miR-146b, miR-181a, miR-181b, miR-17), probably change the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and regulate acuity of the child's immune response. Research of the breast milk microRNA may be important for the prediction of the presence of possible inflammatory complications in a child with IGR. We used such databases as Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, PubMed, Google Scholar, CyberLeninka, RSCI for writing the article. No conflict of interest was declared by the author. Key words: intrauterine growth retardation, intrauterine growth restriction, IGR, breast milk, microRNA, miR, immune response, immunity, review.

Allergic pathology of skin is one of the most pressing problems of modern pediatry. The most common allergic dermatoses: simple and allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, various forms of eczema, acute and chronic allergic urticaria, Quincke's edema, toxicodermias, multiforme exudative erythema (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), acute epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome). Many aspects of systemic treatment of allergic dermatoses in children are complex and controversial. The modern strategy of treatment of allergic dermatoses in children is based on the principles of evidence-based medicine. According to the international program documents EAACI (European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology), AAAAI (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology), PRACТALL (Practical Allergology Consensus Report) treatment of allergic dermatoses consists of: environmental control to eliminate allergenic and non-allergenic factors, skin care, systemic and local pharmacotherapy. Systemic pharmacotherapy includes using drugs of the following groups: antihistamines, glucocorticosteroids, membrane's stabilizators (kromons), leukotriene receptor antagonists, anti-IgE, cytostatics, sorbents, hepatoprotectors, probiotics, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, sedative medications, enzymes, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral, immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive medications. Purpose — to increase information on modern possibilities of systemic therapy of allergic dermatoses in children. Conclusions. Systemic pharmacotherapy of allergic dermatoses should be etiopathogenetic and influence the systemic mechanisms of allergic inflammation, which will help control the clinical course of the disease, reduce disability, improve the life quality of patients. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: children, allergy, allergic dermatoses, systemic therapy, internal therapy.

Philosophical Practice in the Historical-Cultural and Epistemological Context
Authors: Yaroslavtseva Anna
Published: March 2021

The article offers a possible interpretation of the "philosophical practice" concept, examines the nature and closeness of the relationship between philosophy and philosophical practice, outlines the activities of the philosopher-practice in the light of this interpretation. Ethics has traditionally been considered as a practical part of philosophy. Since the inception of philosophy until the end of Early Modern Times, ethics is regarded a top of philosophical knowledge. In addition to the well-established, common at this time period, understanding of ethics as part of philosophy, A.A. Huseynov proposed to consider "ethics" as the moral pathos of philosophy in toto. In this case, the whole philosophy acquires an ethical function (the subject of entire philosophy becomes, among other things, the human behavior determined by free will and the reality that this behavior establishes); it becomes possible to assert that ethics and philosophy are inseparable by the nature of philosophical knowledge and its practical part; to assume that the position of philosophical practice in modern philosophy structure may be similar to the position of ethics in classical philosophy as a top of philosophical knowledge, the ultimate goal of philosophical reasoning. It is argued that the project of philosophical practice, understood as a way of life and the actions of philosophers, explicitly returns philosophy to its origins, to the historical context in which philosophy, its practical applications and meanings arose. In the ancient world, philosophy was an ethical project, a spiritual practice close to religious, a way of being and a way of enhancement. Lack of knowledge, lack of moral guidelines, and the imperfection of existing social, cultural, scientific, economic, political practices prompted philosophers to reason. Philosophy which dealt only with itself, removed itself from solving "non-philosophical" problems, lost relevance. The same can be unhesitatingly said about medieval, Renaissance, modern philosophy. Modern philosophy has retained a native interest in what is happening in the world around it; shares the desire to influence human practices inherent in philosophy, science and religion; in some cases there is no alternative. This allows us to conclude that modernity, no less than antiquity, reveals to those who practice a philosophical way of life and action opportunities for the broadest application of philosophical knowledge in various areas of people's practical life.
Identification of unknown compound extracted from the hair of exhumed human remains using mass spectrometric and gas chromatographic data

Published: March 2021

The real example of GC-MS identification of unknown constituent of human hair extract belonging to the exhumed remains is considered. The identification of this constituent (molecular weight 238 Da) was unsuccessful using both its standard mass spectrum (electron ionization) in combination with lib­ra­ry search, and its GC retention index value (~1540 on semi-standard non-polar polydimethyl siloxane stationary phases with 5% phenyl groups). However, its identification appea­red to be possible using the original algorithm of data processing. This approach implies revealing the structural analogues of unknown analytes, primarily their homologues which differ by molecular masses on ± 14 Da and by composition on CH2 homolo­go­us difference. This approach allowed revealing such analogues of unknown analyte as Flavesone (2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2-isobutyrylcyclohexa-1,3,5-trione), Leptospermone (2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2-isopentanoylcyclohexa-1,3,5-trione), and some others. All these compounds belong to a rather “exotic” class of natural compounds knows as cyclic b-triketones. Based on the obtained data, the possible structure of the constitu­ent under the consideration was proposed as 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2-propionylcyclohexa-1,3,5-trione. The principal fea­ture of cyclic b-triketones is their existence in a few tautomeric forms. Another tautomer of triketone under discussion is 5-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-propionyl-4-en-1,3-dio­ne (CAS № 87552-01-0). This compound is found to be the constituent of Leptosper­mum scoparium essential oil and some other plants, and it belongs to the group of structural analogues of Flave­sone. The most known pharmaceutical application of essential oils containing these compounds are the components of conditioners for hair and skin. The results confirm this formerly un­known component does not belong to the group of toxic substances. This excludes the criminal origin of the remains.

NOVO NEOLIBERALISMO: ARQUITETÔNICA ESTATAL NO CAPITALISMO DO SÉCULO XXI
Authors: Puello-Socarrás José Francisco
Published: March 2021

RESUMO Este artigo apresenta as novidades chave e relativamente inéditas da nova fase do capitalismo neoliberal no século XXI. Sob a designação: Novo neoliberalismo, enfatiza-se os atributos cruciais deste processo econômico político. Ao redor do Estado Punitivo e Empreendedor de Trabalho (EPET) sintetiza sua Arquitetônica, ou seja, as reconfigurações do neoliberalismo tardio, as quais se encontram em relação com o desenvolvimento do Capitalismo contemporâneo e o tipo de Estado neoliberal em geral, os modos de estruturação dos aparatos estatais (atualmente: redes) em torno da nova gestão pós-burocrática e a modalidade típica de governo: a governança. A crise e a recomposição do neoliberalismo como um Projeto político da classe capitalista transnacional na virada dos séculos sugerem a transição para uma versão complexa e emergente (heterodoxa). Aqui as rupturas, no nível dos princípios e referências dos Programas de políticas públicas, reforçam a continuidade histórica do processo econômico político no novo milênio.
A FORMAÇÃO DO MERCADO DE ALIMENTOS ORGÂNICOS NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE HISTÓRICA A PARTIR DO AGENCIAMENTO DAS PRÁTICAS REPRESENTACIONAIS DA REVISTA A LAVOURA
Authors: Merabet Daniel de Oliveira Barata , Barros Denise Franca
Published: March 2021

RESUMO O artigo tem por objetivo explorar como o agenciamento das práticas representacionais presentes nas reportagens da revista A Lavoura produziu versões do mercado de produtos orgânicos no período 1990-2007. A publicação é editada pela Sociedade Nacional de Agricultura desde 1897 e que, em virtude de uma ampla distribuição, alcança sindicatos, universidades, centros de pesquisa, bibliotecas, empresas do agronegócio entre outros. Em termos teóricos, a pesquisa foi informada por conceitos vinculados aos Estudos Construtivistas de Mercado, desenvolvidos em marketing, e pela perspectiva histórica reorientacionista, desenvolvida no âmbito dos estudos organizacionais, para acessar versões do mercado localizadas no passado. O percurso metodológico foi constituído por um estudo de caso histórico de orientação indutiva e de corte longitudinal. Em decorrência do processo de análise, três versões hegemônicas para o mercado de produtos orgânicos foram produzidas ao longo do período considerado. Os resultados apontam para a existência de dinâmicas de inclusão e de marginalização de atores humanos e não-humanos presentes no processo de agenciamento das práticas representacionais e, por conseguinte, nas versões de mercado. Recomenda-se que essas dinâmicas sejam reconhecidas por pesquisas futuras interessadas em investigar questões ideológicas, sociais e de políticas públicas que cercam os processos de formação de mercado.

Authors: Alba George
Published: March 2021

RESUMO O presente trabalho busca desenvolver e validar uma escala que mensure os efeitos da identificação clubística em torcedores de futebol. Esses efeitos são explorados a partir de duas avenidas: atitudinal (comprometimento clubístico) e comportamental (lealdade e consumo clubístico). Foi aplicada uma survey em duas amostras, sendo uma online e não-probabilística para análise fatorial exploratória (477 respondentes) e outra presencial e probabilística para análise fatorial confirmatória (363 respondentes). Considerando que o futebol é um dos principais veículos de expressão dos brasileiros, a escala fornece uma abordagem útil à mensuração de elementos importantes inerentes ao consumo do esporte. O artigo contribui com a área de marketing, ampliando a capacidade científica para capturar a complexidade dos efeitos da identificação do torcedor de futebol com seu clube. A utilização prática do instrumento permite que os clubes possam ter diagnósticos mais consistentes e confiáveis das atitudes e comportamentos dos seus torcedores.

Published: March 2021

Abstract This study aims to design and validate a nutritional recipe for a snack made of Green Banana (Musa paradisiaca) Peel Flour (GBPF) and to assess the nutritional composition and microbiological quality of the flour. Banana peel, a food industry by-product, is a nutritious, low-cost material available for all year. Banana peel flower could be used as a functional ingredient due to its high fiber content and good functional properties. In general, university students have a deficient dietary fiber intake due to altered dietary patterns; thus, this study was focused on this population. The GBPFs were obtained from the peels of pre-climacteric bananas by fluidized bed (FDB) dryer, after which, microbiological, proximate, and dietary fiber analyses were applied. It was designed the nutritional recipe for the snack taking into account the energy and dietary fiber nutritional requirements of the target population. It could be validated and adjusted the recipe following the methodology of Centro Nacional de Alimentación y Nutrición, concluding with the determination of dietary fiber in the end-product. The dietary fiber, total carbohydrate, protein, total fat and energy contents of the GBPF were as following: 38.7 g, 76.3 g, 5.9 g, 3.6 g, and 361.2 kcal, per 100 g of flour. The snack contained 7.74 g of dietary fiber per serving size, having a good acceptance among the university students' panelists based on an organoleptic test. In conclusion, the GBPF showed great potential as a source of dietary fiber, and it was an excellent source of carbohydrates and other nutrients to a lesser degree. When included as a functional ingredient in the nutritional formulation of a snack, it had an overall positive effect on the product’s organoleptic characteristics.

Published: March 2021

Resumo Este trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre as relações entre emoções, tempo e política, tendo como pressuposto a tensão entre as vivências subjetivas e a organização do fluxo da vida em passado, presente e futuro. Considerando a pluralidade de sentidos relacionados à experiência do tempo, exploramos os aspectos sociais e políticos ligados ao deslocamento das emoções das realidades imediatas, bem como as formas pelas quais os indivíduos entretêm relações afetivas com o tempo, revitalizando o passado ou imaginando o futuro de modo a engendrar formas de atuação política. O trabalho está organizado em duas seções de revisão bibliográfica relativas à fecundidade analítica de dois sentimentos: a nostalgia, com base em Berliner (2015), e a esperança, com base em Crapanzano (2004). Nas considerações finais, examinamos o rendimento heurístico do arcabouço conceitual delineado, apresentando algumas possibilidades de construção de objetos ligados às formas de atuação política.

RESUMO Considerado um poluente prioritário de reconhecida toxicidade e recalcitrância, o 2,4-dinitrofenol (2,4-DNF) presente em águas residuárias dificulta tratamentos convencionais, especialmente os de princípio biológico, como lagoas aeradas e sistema de lodos ativados. Em função de sua potencialidade de transformar a estrutura de poluentes em elementos de capacidade poluidora reduzida, os processos oxidativos avançados (POAs) representam atualmente uma alternativa para o tratamento de efluentes contaminados com compostos dessa natureza. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar estudos de degradação de 2,4-DNF em solução aquosa por meio de processos de oxidação avançada do tipo Fenton utilizando uma fonte não convencional de ferro na forma de um resíduo siderúrgico (carepa de aço). A condução de um delineamento experimental fundamentado em planejamento fatorial de experimentos revelou que as variáveis quantidade de peróxido de hidrogênio e de carepa influenciaram significativamente a degradação de 2,4-DNF, proporcionando, em condições otimizadas (20 g de carepa, 0,5 mL de H2O2 em pH 3), elevada eficiência na degradação tanto do composto modelo quanto de seus intermediários reacionais, tendo reduzido também a toxicidade aguda medida na forma de inibição de crescimento de E. coli. Ensaios adicionais sugeriram que os mecanismos reacionais pelos quais ocorre a degradação do 2,4-DNF são mediados tanto pela superfície das partículas de carepa quanto pelo ferro lixiviado, caracterizando o processo como uma combinação de oxidação homogênea e heterogênea. Finalmente, ensaios de reusabilidade e operação em reator de fluxo contínuo sugeriram significativa potencialidade do sistema carepa/H2O2.

The influence of temperature on the damping characteristic of hydraulic shock absorbers
Authors: Hryciów Zdzisław , Rybak Piotr , Gieleta Roman
Published: March 2021

This paper presents the results of bench-tests and calculations assessing the influence of
temperature on the performance of a two-pipe hydraulic shock absorber. The shock absorber
prepared for the tests was cooled with dry ice to a temperature corresponding to that associated with the average winter conditions in a temperate climate. The temperature range of the
shock absorber during testing was ensured via equipping it with a thermocouple and monitoring it with a thermal imaging camera. During testing, the shock absorber was subjected to
kinematic forces of a selected frequency with two different, fixed displacement amplitudes.
The results of the tests showed a direct correlation between the decrease of component
resistance at lower temperatures. The rate of change in resistance was higher at lower temperatures. It was also found that the energy dissipated in one shock cycle decreased linearly
with an increasing temperature. Finally, a method for determining the ideal use temperature
of the shock absorber for the assumed operating conditions was also presented.
The Problem of Adequacy of the Analytic Hierarchy Process
Authors: Romanchuk V.M.
Published: March 2021

The Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a popular method for solving multi-criteria problems. However, the problem of the adequacy of the AHP method is not solved. Opponents of the Analytic hierarchy process believe that the AHP as a whole is erroneous and cannot be applied in practice. Proponents of the method believe that the disadvantages of the method are compensated by a simple measurement procedure. In this paper, a modification of the AHP method is proposed. A mathematical model of measurement is formulated, which contains a built-in mechanism for checking adequacy. moreover, the measurement method is preserved, and the calculation algorithm becomes even simpler. The fact is that the Analytic hierarchy process is based on the assumption that the scale of relations can be obtained by pairwise comparison using numerical judgments based on the absolute scale of numbers. Fechner’s psychophysical law is considered as a justification for the existence of the scale of relations. But there are not one, but two psychophysical laws. The existence of two psychophysical laws is a problem of psychophysics. This problem can be solved by the rating method. To overcome the disadvantages of the Analytic hierarchy process, it is also proposed to use the rating method. The use of the rating method makes it possible to use the fundamental scale of the AHP method. As an example, the problem is solved using the traditional AHP scale.

The selection of a drill bit is an essential issue in well planning. Furthermore, identification and evaluation of sedimentary rocks before well drilling plays a crucial role in choosing the drill bit. Moreover, the Markov chain as a stochastic model is one of the powerful methods for identifying lithological units, which is based on the calculation of the transition probability matrix or transition matrix. The Markov chain experiences transitions from one state (a situation or set of values) to another according to specified probabilistic rules. In this paper, the Markov chain was implemented for bit selection in a formation with different sedimentary facies (such as the Dashtak Formation). Therefore, the proper drill bit was proposed by utilizing the transition matrix of rock facies and the available bits. This process was carried out in two wells where the thicknesses of the Dashtak Formation are 960 meters and 1410 meters. Consequently, the results indicate that the Markov chain is a practical method for selecting bits in a sequence of rock facies based on an acceptable matching between the reality mode (the used bits in the well) and the Markov chain results. Besides, in the case of using an improper bit in a well, and using a bit in a washing and reaming operation, there were differences between the used bits and the Markov chain outputs.

The aim of this study is to test the effect of aqueous, ethereal and alcoholic extracts of the fruit bodies of the wood-destroying fungus Inonotus rickii on locomotor activity resulting from contraction of both cross-striated and smooth muscles. The pharmacological activity of I. rickii raw materials was determined in vitro using the dose-response curve method (smooth muscles) and in experiments with oral intake of extracts (CNS-mediated effects on cross-lacing muscles). The aqueous extract of fungal material showed an increase in the motor activity of smooth muscles compared to standard caffeine, which indicates the ability of fungal extract to have a stimulating effect on the synapses. It was found that I. rickii extracts have an effect on smooth muscle contraction similar to the acetylcholine. It was shown that the greatest stimulating activity demonstrates an aqueous extract that may be a result of inhibitory effect of diethyl ether and ethanol on synapses. The described effects put on the agenda both the fractionation of active extracts and further experiments on the therapeutic applications of their described properties. As a field of possible application of this kind of substances can be considered the cardiovascular remodeling, the maintenance of smooth muscle tone during a number of surgical interventions, and the palliative cure of disseminated cancers.

In exploration and earthquake seismology, most sources used in subsurface structure imaging and rock property estimation are fixed in certain positions. Continuously moving seismic sources, such as vehicles and the metro, are one kind of important passive sources in ambient noise research. Commonly, seismic data acquisition and processing for moving sources are based on the assumption of simple point passive sources, and the dispersion curve inversion is applied to constrain near-surface velocity. This workflow neglects the Doppler effects. Considering the continuously moving properties of the sources, we first derive the analytical solution for the Rayleigh waves excited by heavy vehicles and then analyze their Doppler effects and dispersion curves. We observe that the moving source data have the Doppler effect when compared with the changes in the frequency of the source intensity, but this effect does not affect the frequency dispersion of Rayleigh waves. The dispersion curves computed for moving source records are consistent with the analytical dispersion solutions, which provide a theoretical foundation for velocity estimation using moving source data.
