Published: February 2022

Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID–19) is a global health problem with ever-increasing attributed deaths. Patients with COVID–19 may deteriorate rapidly, and their continuous monitoring is necessary. Monitoring and providing care beyond the traditional face-to-face model is a new chapter in the history of medicine. It consists of remote monitoring and management using virtual platform as a critical component in the ever-changing environment of this deadly pandemic. We evaluated the impact of remote monitoring of the patients at their residences after being infected with SARS-COV-2 virtually.

Methodology: This observational study was conducted among patients with symptoms of COVID–19 attending in the Fever Clinic between January and March 2021. The study was set to continue for the duration of the pandemic. Access to pulse oximeter and virtual platform was given to the enrolled patients. The participants were monitored in a remote monitoring platform at home and during the hospital stay. The primary outcome measures included number of recovery i.e. discharged from remote home monitoring and/or hospital and escalation of management such as hospitalization or transfer to the ICU facilities. Duration of hospital stay, patient experience and satisfaction, and barriers to use the virtual platform were included in the secondary outcome measures.

Results: A total of twenty patients (median age 45 y, male to female ratio 65:35) were included. The median duration of monitoring was 10 days (IQR 8-12 days). Out of twenty patients, 3 (15%) patients needed hospitalization and were recognized in time by the team. The duration of hospital stay was 4 days median (IQR 3-6 days). All patients were discharged from this service safely; no death was reported. Ninety percent of the studied population were satisfied and felt reassured by this remote monitoring service.

Conclusion: Early recognition of deterioration and prompt management through remote monitoring model increases the chances of survival of patients, and reduces the morbidity. Such remote monitoring model can be applied for future outbreaks of pandemics.

Extreme physical exhaustion leading to hypokalemic periodic paralysis- a case report
Authors: Borkotokey Monjuri , Dutta Kaustuv
Published: February 2022

Sudden onset limb weakness in a young individual requires a thorough evaluation and prompt diagnosis. Delay in treatment awaiting CT scan reports or laboratory investigations can lead to complications. Our case report stresses upon the clinicians to consider hypokalemic periodic paralysis in the differential diagnosis in evaluating such patients. Classical ECG changes and blood gas analysis can effectively diagnose hypokalemia and institute gradual correction of the electrolyte abnormality. In a very rare incident, our patient developed hypokalemia after strenuous exercise.

The effect of titanium slag on the properties of glass-ceramic composites from South African coal fly ash
Authors: Modiga A , Mwamba A
Published: February 2022

In this study, the impact of titanomagnetite slag on the structure of glass-ceramic composites was investigated. The slag was added as a source of titania which promotes nucleation within the parent glass matrix and magnesium oxide which facilitates crystallisation. A mixture of fly ash and varying quantities of waste beverage glass and titanomagnetite slag were melted. The melts were then annealed at lower temperatures to reduce the internal stress and, subsequently, cooled to room temperature to produce parent glasses. The mass of fly ash was held constant at 60%, while the mass of the waste beverage glass and titanomagnetite slag was varied between 10-30% and 0-30% respectively. Afterwards, the parent glasses were converted to glass-ceramic composites through a controlled double-staged thermal treatment. Characterisation of these composites showed that an increase in titanomagnetite slag resulted in many crystal phases forming within the glass-ceramic matrix and an increased porosity. The desired diopside phase was not detected in the composites same as when pure magnesium oxide was added instead of the titanomagnetite slag. The compressive strengths, the bulk densities and melting temperatures of the glass-ceramic composites were found to be lower as compared to glass-ceramic composites produced from a mixture containing pure magnesium oxide. However, they were highly resistant to attack by nitric acid and sodium hydroxide.
Blended Learning in Senegal
Authors: Faye Ibrahima , Gueye Mansour
Published: February 2022

This article addresses the issue of English Language Teaching (ELT) especially blended learning whereby English is taught as a foreign language in Senegal, a francophone country. The validity of blended learning method is twofold. On the one hand, it is explainable by the advent of new technologies in the last decades of the twenty first century and the English language (EL) to satisfy a communicative need in all domains across the world. On the other hand, it is justified by the challenges of the traditional learning and teaching methods in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic that fully induce educational authorities to rethink the face-to-face traditional learning style. Thus the study is a succinct scrutiny, at the crossroads of “smart” and face-to-face learning, that questions the above-mentioned learning medium, i.e., blended learning, as a safe and comprehensive teaching and learning method in the twenty first century in Senegal.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of MI varnish in preventing white spot lesions in patients with fixed orthodontic therapy. Method The study was performed where 100 patients undergoing orthodontics treatment were allocated randomly to 2 subgroups with differing frequencies of MI varnish application. Degree of mineralisation was measured on the vestibular surfaces of 12 teeth (6 varnish & 6 unvarnished controls) Measurement were taken at 4 sites using camera EOS 750D and then subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The statistical analysis showed difference in the degree of demineralization between treated and untreated teeth, and was statistically significant in terms of time point, frequency of application or specific tooth site. Conclusion: Periodic application of MI varnish can offer some protection against white spot lesions and it is not statistically significant degree if patients have excellent oral hygiene. Additional protection is conferred by applying the product every 3 months compared with every 6 months.
The concept of wrapping and its ontological character among the Maya
Authors: Grecco Pacheco Daniel
Published: February 2022

A textile with its threads, its weft, and warp, for the western ontology, is a simple utilitarian object or a body adornment. This study will discuss the wrapping among the Maya, starting from concepts present in ancient and contemporary Maya thought to identify the ontological character of some ceremonial textiles present in these societies. Based on an approach proposed by the ontological archaeology, I will discuss the conceptual proximity between the terms pix (to wrap, to cover) and pixan (soul, or something that is received from the other world), to think of the wrap as an element of articulation between the two ontological spaces, allowing the presence of beings and entities of the cosmos in Maya cities of the Classic and contemporary periods.

By generating the materialization and performance of these beings, wraps create relational fields that activate these entities temporarily in ordinary space, establishing effective contact with the Maya cosmos. A brief analysis of these Textile Beings present during the Classic Period will be discussed as a case study, in order to consider such a conceptual proposal.
When prey is winik (person): the relationship between people, animals, and their Masters in Lacandon hunting
Authors: Balsanelli Alice
Published: February 2022

The Lacandon Maya of Chiapas (Southern Mexico) conceive animals as subjects endowed with a soul (pixan) and agency. Therefore, they are considered to be ‘persons’ (winik) whose mode of living is analogous to the humans’: they’re socially organized, they work in their milpas, they perform rituals and worship their gods. The attribution of personhood to animals becomes an ethical problem during hunt, when the Lacandon hunter kills a prey considered to be a ‘fellow man’. Consequently, the hunt needs to be ritually justified and takes the form of a contract established between the hunters, the animals and the entities who protect them – the gods, the animal masters. It will be shown how the extension of the concept of personhood to animals influences Lacandon hunting ceremonialism, and how the theories proposed by the ‘Ontological Turn’ allowed to shed light on the Northern Lacandon hunt.
Rock art and rituality in the construction of the Maya person of the Postclassic period at Mensabak Lake, Chiapas
Authors: Lozada Josuhé , Vigliani Silvina , Acosta Guillermo , Pérez Patricia
Published: February 2022

The notion of person among the Maya has been studied particularly for the Classic and post-contact periods. However, we know little about the Maya person in the Postclassic period. In this paper, our initial assumption is that the Postclassic rock art found in some of the cliffs of Mensabak Lake, Chiapas, conveys elements regarding the notion and construction of the Maya person. In this sense, we analyze the rock paintings and the material culture associated with the cliffs based on the anthropology of the person.

For the Classic Maya, the limits of the person were relatively permeable, something that can be observed in various scenes of Classic art, given the presence of various essences emanating from the bodies of the individuals depicted therein. Permeability, in that sense, is expressed when the person is saturated by substances whose qualities influence the internal composition of the person.

Here we discuss an interpretation of a rock scene from the Postclassic period, where we observe a ritual of construction of the Maya person. In addition, we conducted underwater archaeological surveys and archaeological excavations at the foot of a particular cliff, whose collected materials suggest the presence of a repeated ritual practice, where food was prepared, copal was burned and substances were exchanged with the deities.
Writing with heads: animated logographs and syllabograms in Maya writing
Authors: Grube Nikolai
Published: February 2022

One aspect of Maya hieroglyphic writing that continues to fascinate us is its pronounced figurativeness, which finds its greatest expression in head variants of signs and in full figure glyphs. For a more systematic understanding of these personified signs, it is necessary to divide them into two groups. The first class are “essential personifi cations”. These are logograms that render names of anthropomorphic or zoomorphic beings by depicting their heads or other important parts of their bodies. The second class of personified signs are “unspecific personifications”, where there is no natural relationship between sign and meaning. These are most, syllabic signs. The animation of syllabic signs occurs especially in dedication texts. The study of the use and distribution of personified signs helps us to understand the relation between image, anima, and agency in Maya hieroglyphic writing.
The Private Causes of Action under CERCLA: Navigating the Intersection of Sections 107(a) and 113(f)
Authors: Gaba Jeffrey
Published: February 2022

The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) provides three distinct “private” causes of action that allow parties to recover all or part of their cleanup costs from “potentially responsible parties.” Section 107(a)(4)(B) provides a “direct” right of cost recovery. Sections 113(f)(1) and 113(f)(3)(B) provide a right of contribution following a CERCLA civil action or certain judicial or administrative settlements. The relationship among these causes of action has been the source of considerable confusion. Two Supreme Court cases, Cooper Industries, Inc. v. Aviall Services, Inc. and United States v. Atlantic Research Corp. have identified certain situations in which the causes of action exclusively apply, but the Court has left considerable confusion about the appropriate cause or causes of action in a number of other common situations. These include situations in which costs are directly incurred as an obligation under an administrative settlement or following a CERCLA civil action. This Article provides a rational approach to allocating rights of cost recovery among sections 107(a), 113(f)(1), and 113(f)(3)(B) that is consistent both with the language of CERCLA and the Supreme Court’s analysis in Cooper and Atlantic Research. First, the Article evaluates the rather unsatisfying rationales asserted by the U.S. courts of appeals for determining whether the causes of action under 107(a) and 113(f) are mutually exclusive. The Article suggests that the proper resolution focuses on whether there is textual overlap among the sections. Quite simply, in the event of textual overlap, standard canons of construction and the express text of section 113(f)(3)(B), not discussed by any of the courts of appeals, suggest that 113(f) provides the exclusive cause of action for cost recovery under CERCLA. Second, the Article evaluates the textual scope of the causes of action and whether costs incurred in a variety of common situations thus fall within the scope of 107(a)(4)(B) or 113(f). Both the specific text and the Supreme Court’s approach, particularly its focus on the “traditional” meaning of contribution, can help resolve these issues. The result of this analysis is a straightforward application of the statute that results in a consistent and coherent structure to CERCLA that both provides incentives for cleanup and helps ensure that the polluter pays.
Whose Standards Control? Maine v. McCanhy and the Federal, State, and Tribal Battle Over Water Quality Regulation
Authors: Mortelliti Joseph
Published: February 2022

This Note considers the longstanding clash between the United States government and state governments over the management of intrastate waters through the lens of Maine v. McCarthy, an ongoing federal lawsuit. McCarthy confronts whether the United States Environmental Protection Agency can require state water quality standards to specifically safeguard the health and cultural practices of Maine’s Indian tribes, particularly sustenance fishing. A panoply of legal and political factors gave rise to and shaped the course of the litigation, ranging from tribal sovereignty to agency discretion and political gamesmanship. After evaluating the litigants’ arguments and examining previous regulatory collisions between the Environmental Protection Agency and state governments, this Note argues that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to dictate changes to Maine’s water quality standards, regardless of preexisting agreements granting Maine regulatory control over state waters.
Energy-Water Nexus, the Clean Power Plan, and Integration of Water Resource Concerns into Energy Decision-Making
Authors: Ladin Sarah
Published: February 2022

Energy regulation in the United States is now at a crossroads. The EPA has begun the process to officially repeal the Clean Power Plan and currently has no plan to replace it with new rulemaking to regulate carbon emissions from the U.S. energy sector. Even though the Clean Power Plan is more or less at its end, its regulatory structure stands as a model of the way decision-makers in the United States regulate the energy sector and the environment. Since the beginning of the modern environmental legal system, decision-makers have chosen to silo the system. Statutes and agencies focus on just one media or one issue. Tackling the climate crisis will inevitably require an integrationist model of lawmaking. The Clean Power Plan took the same problematic route as past regulation. While the Clean Power Plan rightfully addressed rising carbon levels, it failed to account for another growing problem associated with climate change: quickly depleting water resources. Although the consequences of the energy-water nexus are clear, U.S. decision-makers continue to ignore the need to integrate energy and water decision-making. Continuing to compartmentalize environmental problems, rather than addressing climate change impacts in a holistic manner, will not bring about the results that are desperately needed.

The tools needed to integrate decision-making exist throughout the three branches of government. Congress can and should step in to pass a new statute, which establishes a legal mandate on agencies to fully consider the implications of energy policy and energy regulation on water resources. The federal courts can read a legal requirement into the Clean Air Act or the Administrative Procedure Act that would require federal action in the energy sphere to account for impacts on water resources. Finally, the President can use his power to force federal agencies to consider water resources more thoroughly than in the past. While some of these mechanisms may be hard to envision given the current political atmosphere, implementation is necessary to ensure water and energy security in the face of a growing climate crisis.
Improving Generic Drug Approval at the FDA
Authors: Craddock Kathleen
Published: February 2022

Generic drugs are the store-brand cereal of the drug world. While they lack the vibrant colors of and exciting commercials behind name brands, generics are still effective. Most importantly, for some people, they make the difference between accessing essential treatment and going without. Getting generics to market as quickly as possible means fewer people will cut pills in half or skip doses to save money, which also saves billions of dollars across the U.S. health system. Because a new generic does not offer lifesaving changes for people with rare or complicated diseases, generics lack the “cultural capture of rhetoric about saving lives by getting new drugs to patients more quickly.”

But generics are the drugs that many of us take every day. Generic drugs’ ease of entry into the market impacts whether everyday Americans can afford health insurance and access healthcare.

Better recognition of these benefits combined with insurer buy-in to the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) generic approval program has the potential to improve health while reducing systemic costs. This Note proposes three changes to the current approval process for generic drugs at FDA. First, the FDA should conduct a regular study to identify drugs that feature the biggest negative medication adherence impact.3 Second, the FDA should allow insurers to sponsor generic approval for those drugs. Third, the FDA should be required to engage healthcare stakeholders beyond generic drug makers and manufacturers when it negotiates generic drug approval funding with industry.

Mediante a uma revisão bibliográfica denotou se como a mudança de uma vida menos sedentária pode transformar a vida do paciente com câncer. A vida ativa tem minimizado os efeitos colaterais causados por cirurgias ou tratamentos por exemplo a quimioterapia e radioterapia, são geradores de declínio em suas capacidades por acarretar alterações em seus órgãos provocando uma série de prejuízos á saúde. Esses efeitos adversos, por sua vez podem ser agudos e permanecer durante vários anos na vida do paciente oncológico. Diante disso se faz necessário compreender como a prática regular de exercício físico pode amenizar os efeitos colaterais para essa população, possibilitando em uma melhor qualidade de vida e maior taxa de sobrevivência, além da possibilidade de retardar o crescimento de tumores, diminuindo o número de casos de mortes. Pontuou se ainda a importância de acompanhamento multidisciplinar durante o tratamento para que haja sucesso no programa de exercício físico. Diante disso o objetivo geral visa compreender como a prática regular de exercício físico pode amenizar os efeitos causados pelas intervenções, colaborando para recuperação de suas funções. Portanto, conclui-se que o paciente adepto ao programa de exercício físico por vezes individualizado, voltado as suas necessidades, realizado de modo assertivo e seguro se beneficia ganhando melhoras em sua saúde física, além de aspectos subjetivos como as relações interpessoais e o bem-estar mental.

Authors: Al Mutairi Mazyunah , AlMassaad Ahmad
Published: February 2022

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of using the gamification strategy on academic achievement and motivation towards learning problem-solving skills in computer and information technology course. A quasi-experimental method was adopted. The study population included tenth-grade female students in Al-Badi’ah schools in Riyadh. The sample consisted of 54 students divided into two equal groups: control group and experimental group. The study tools comprised an achievement test and the motivation scale. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the academic achievement test in favor of the experimental group, with a large effect size of the gamification seen on academic achievement. The results also showed that there were no differences between the two groups in the motivation scale, with a small effect size of the gamification on student motivation. One of the most important recommendations of this study was encouraging the use of the gamification strategy in teaching the computer course to help boost students’ achievement levels and applying the gamification in the classroom for prolonged periods to achieve higher student-motivation scales. This study also proposes conducting additional more research studies to gauge the effects of gamification on covering different variables and spanning various subjects and grade levels.

Immediate after-effects of shapes of clothing worn on tandem gait performance
Authors: Oshita Kazushige
Published: February 2022

Purpose: This study investigated the immediate after-effects of clothing shape on tandem gait performance. Methods: Nineteen healthy men (21.8 ± 1.8 years) performed tandem gait tests while blindfolded under three clothing conditions: only half or short tights, a cotton cloth wrapped around the waist and draped to the middle point of the lower leg (DC), and tracksuit bottoms (TS). Participants performed pre- and post-gait tests at their fastest possible speed while wearing tights. Between the pre- and post-tests, participants practiced the same tandem gait, but at their own chosen speed while wearing DC or TS. Results: The practice with the DC increased gait speed and decreased lateral shift during the post-gait test compared to the pre-gait test. The practice while wearing the TS also reduced lateral shift but did not increase gait speed. Conclusions: These results suggest that some clothing shapes are more effective for motor learning of balance control during tandem gait by enhancing the feedback for body orientation. Clothing that has a certain amount of space between the material and the body and that makes contact with the body as it moves may be more effective.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: The balance, known as the ability to independently maintain the body in a certain position and return to the starting position, can be divided into static and dynamic balances. Social Latin American dances (salsa, bachata) require dancers to do a characteristic figure, however, they are not trained as intensively as dancing sports. The aim of the study was to assess the static and dynamic balances of dancers, who are regularly dancing those selected Latin American dances, by comparison with those who do not. Methods: The study was conducted among 34 dancers from a Krakow Dancing School and, 37 students of the Jagiellonian University, aged 21–35. A SIGMA balance platform was used to measure static and, the Y-Balance Test platform to assess dynamic balance. The Student’s T-test, Mann– Whitney U-test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used in statistical analysis. Results: There were neither significant differences between right and left lower limbs of dancers, nor between values of tilts on the YBT platform in both investigated groups. Non-dancers, however, showed a slightly higher positive correlation between the deviations in the sagittal and frontal planes and the surface area, as well as between the path length and the surface area on the SIGMA platform when compared to dancers. Conclusions: The level of dynamic and static balances of dancing people is similar, when compared to non-dancers. The influence of practicing Latin American dances on the sense of balance require further studies.
The assessment of temperature amplitude arising during the implant bed formation in relation to variable preparation parameters – in vitro study

Published: February 2022

The main purpose of this study was to analyse the temperatures generated during the bone bed preparation, given the internal structure of the bone bed, the geometry of the hole, and the treatment parameters such as the type of cooling and the rotational speed of the drill. The investigated material was domestic pig ribs, in which holes were drilled three times using two drill bit systems used for Hiossen® and Paltop® dental implantation. The ThermaCAM® P640 thermal imaging camera was used for measurement of drilling temperatures. After the holes were drilled, each rib was examined using the 1172 SkyScan microtomograph, Bruker®, to compare the geometry of the machined holes. The presented study proved that larger diameter drill bits (Hiossen® drill bits) generate more heat during the machining process, as evidenced by higher temperatures obtained for the Hiossen system in each case. It was proved that rotational speed, drill bit diameter and cooling system have a significant effect on the amount of heat generated during bone tissue preparation. The density and type of bone tissue in which the hole is prepared are significant factors affecting the amount of heat generated.

Structure-Antioxidant Capacity Relationships of the Dihydroxy Derivatives of Benzaldehyde and Benzoic Acid
Authors: Moreno María , Estévez Brito Rafael , Rodríguez Mellado José Miguel
Published: February 2022

In this paper, the antioxidant capacities (AOC) of the dihydroxybenzaldehyes (DHB) and dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBA) are determined by two single electron transfer (SET) assays, namely CUPRAC and e-CUPRAC (CUPric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity), and a SET + hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) assay: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). It is found that the oxidation potential (EOX) determined by voltammetry can be used as a structural parameter in the same way as the HOMO energy. From the dependencies of the AOC with EOX, it follows that only the electrondonor derivatives of DHB and DHBA exhibit antioxidant activity, which means that the number of hydroxyl groups, two for all molecules, is not the only factor related to the AOC. A relationship between the position of the hydroxyl groups and the AOC is shown. Moreover, the value of the AOC also has a contribution of dissociation of the hydroxyl groups.

Published: February 2022

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a common oral cancer with high morbidity and mortality. There is an urgent need to search for new therapeutic targets and better drugs for the treatment of this disease. In the present study, we have explored the effect of cedrol, a sesquiterpene alcohol with multitude of anticancerous properties, on the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Our results show cedrol to induce generation of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, and reduction in cell viability of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. This opens the possibility of cedrol serving as a potential therapeutic agent.

Introducción: la criptorquidia en pacientes ancianos es extremadamente rara y puede confundirse con una hernia inguinal complicada.

Caso clínico: varón de 96 años que acudió a Urgencias por dolor inguinal izquierdo intenso con una tumoración irreductible a dicho nivel que se catalogó con episodio de incarceración. Tras la exploración física se constató que el hemiescroto izquierdo estaba vacío confirmándose mediante ecografía-doppler que se trataba de una criptorquidia izquierda que había presentado un episodio de torsión testicular.

Discusión: existe poca bibliografía sobre complicaciones agudas de pacientes adultos con criptorquidia. En caso de torsión del testículo no descendido puede confundirse fácilmente con una hernia inguinal incarcerada. En algunos casos se podrá diagnosticar con una ecografía-doppler, aunque en la mayoría de las ocasiones será un hallazgo intraoperatorio.

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 65 años que sufre una perforación gástrica secundaria a maniobras de reanimación cardiopulmonares tras sufrir una parada cardiorespiratoria en su domicilio. La rotura gástrica tras RCP es una complicación muy infrecuente, con una incidencia estimada del 0,1%, siendo especialmente raros los casos atribuidos a la ventilación boca a boca, con muy pocos casos publicados en la literatura científica. Pese a su baja frecuencia este evento requiere de un diagnóstico y tratamiento rápido, debido a las connotaciones sobre la morbilidad y la mortalidad que conlleva.

Establishment of New Customs in Ukraine : Latest aspects of personnel management based on a competency-based approach
Authors: Voitseshchuk Andrii
Published: February 2022

Public finance reform has been taking place in Ukraine in recent years. Its key priorities are to ensure the efficiency of the functioning of fiscal bodies and systems of government. Despite the rapid pace of reform of the tax and customs services of Ukraine, special attention is needed on the issues of staffing specialists and determining their level of competence. Customs personnel management tasks in the new coordinate system are key issues in searching for an effective recruitment model. It should consider the personal contribution, the level of qualification, the commitment with the efforts, personal psycho-emotional, social and motivational characteristics of the specialists. The State Customs Service of Ukraine can accomplish these tasks by using a competency-based approach to develop practical recommendations for improving efficiency. In researching the newest aspects of new customs management in Ukraine, a set of general and special research methods has been used based on a competent approach. The article aims to outline the main stages of implementation in the structure of fiscal bodies based on a competency-based approach and to systematize practical proposals. Further studies on the introduction of a competency-based approach may be devoted to the study of each component of the competency management, such as personnel management (planning, selection), training management (competency development – advanced training), performance management, career management (mobility, rotation, mentoring), motivation management, as exemplified by the Ukrainian Customs.

Small-scale hydropower generation can satisfy the needs of communities located near natural sources of flowing water. The operating conditions of a Michell–Banki Turbine (MBT) are relatively easier to meet than those of other types of turbine, making it useful in places where other devices are not suitable. Moreover, MBT efficiency is almost invariable with respect to flow rate conditions. Nevertheless, such efficiency commonly ranges between 70% and 85%, which is lower than that of other water turbines like Turgo, Pelton, or Francis turbine. The objective of this work is to determine the maximum theoretical efficiency of an MBT and its associated geometrical parameters by implementing Particle Swarm Optimization. The results show a higher effectiveness of the mathematical formulation compared with other cases from literature and show the performance of the optimization method proposed in this study in terms of solution and processing time. Finally, a maximum MBT efficiency of 93.3% was achieved.

Реализуемая в современной высшей школе личностно-ориенти­рованная концепция образования опирается на культурно-исторический и деятельностный подходы к развитию человека и направлена на подготовку высокоинтеллектуальных специалистов, которые не только готовы к работе в тех или иных областях знаний, но и сформированы как личности, обладающие определенными общекультурными компетенциями.В формировании личности будущих специалистов большую роль играет воспитательная работа в студенческой среде, в том числе патриотическое воспитание. Изменения в отечественном образовании привели к тому, что в вузах почти исчезла работа по патриотическому воспитанию, что привело к необходимости коренного пересмотра стратегии воспитательной работы в настоящее время.В статье представлен опыт работы кафедры иностранных языков Ижевской государственной сельскохозяйственной академии по патриотическому воспитанию студентов с использованием таких эффективных форм и методов патриотического воспитания будущих профессионалов, как музейная работа, литературные кружки, лингвистические гостиные, встречи с интересными людьми.

Student-centred university education is based on historical-cultural approach and on activity approach to human development and is aimed at preparing highly intellectual specialists who are ready to work in their chosen area of expertise and are well-developed individuals possessing general cultural competencies.The formation of novice specialists is largely predetermined by effective extracurricular activities, including patriotic education. Due to Russian educational reforms, patriotic education is almost entirely excluded from the educational process. Therefore, it is essential that the strategy of extracurricular work should be reassessed.The article shares the outcomes obtained by the representatives of the Department of Foreign Languages at Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy during their extracurricular activities aimed at enhancing students’ patriotic education through museums, literary circles, speaking clubs, meetings with interesting people.
