Authors: Clímaco Laura Reyes , Núñez Camilo Romero , Cardenas Rafael Heredia
Published: May 2020

La distribución geográfica de las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores está influenciada por una dinámica compleja de factores ambientales, sociales y el impacto cambiante de la transmisión de sus vectores, huéspedes intermedios y reservorios. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la seropositividad a anticuerpos anti-Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferia y la seropositividad a antígenos de Dirofilaria immitis en perros de un área de México con un clima semifrío. Se tomaron 100 muestras de sangre de caninos de hogares privados y en clínicas veterinarias del estado de Amecameca de Juárez, Estado de México. El análisis de las muestras se llevó a cabo mediante un kit comercial de ELISA (Test SNAP® 4Dx® Plus Canine IDEXX®). A los resultados se observó una seropositividad a anticuerpos anti-E. canis del 30 %, 9 % para A. phagocytophilum, 4 % para B. burgdorferi y 16 % para antígenos de D. immitis. Así mismo, se halló una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la seropositividad a anticuerpos anti-E. canis y perros mayores a un año y de raza. Por otra parte se reportaron resultados similares en perros machos y mayores de un año con seropositividad a D. immitis. Con los resultados obtenidos, se concluye que existe una mayor seropositividad para la infección por E. canis y D. immitis y una asociación significativa en perros mayores de un año. Es de gran relevancia conocer la epidemiología de patógenos transmitidos por garrapatas debido al impacto zoonotico que implican. Se recomiendan investigaciones adicionales, así como medidas preventivas de salud animal y salud pública para reducir el riesgo de infección en perros.
Respuestas fisiológicas y capacidad antioxidante de Chlorella vulgaris (Chlorellaceae) expuesta a fenantreno
Authors: Calderón-Delgado Ivonne C. , Mora-Solarte Diego A. , Velasco Santamaría Yohana María
Published: May 2020

Los hidrocarburos aromáticos tienen un alto potencial toxicológico, por lo que su evaluación en organismos acuáticos es de gran importancia. La microalga Chlorella vulgaris fue seleccionada, por ser una de las especies de algas más dominantes en el agua y por su potencial para degradar o absorber diferentes xenobióticos. El objetivo fue evaluar la toxicidad en C. vulgaris expuesta a fenantreno (PHE), evaluando parámetros fisiológicos como la densidad celular, contenido de clorofila a y clorofila b y actividad enzimática de superóxido dismutasa (SOD) y catalasa (CAT) que definan respuestas tóxicas a corto plazo. Se evaluaron cinco diferentes concentraciones (0,1; 1,0; 10; 100 y 1000 µg PHE. L-1), un tratamiento control solvente (acetona) y control (sin aditamentos) durante siete días. En todas las respuestas fisiológicas se observó un comportamiento dosis dependiente, disminuyendo progresivamente con el incremento de las concentraciones de PHE. La densidad celular, tasa de crecimiento, diámetro celular y clorofila pueden ser considerados biomarcadores de toxicidad. La actividad de CAT y SOD en C. vulgaris disminuyó considerablemente durante todo el periodo de estudio, posiblemente a causa de una excesiva producción de especies reactivas de oxígeno generadas por la exposición a fenantreno provocando la inhibición de estas enzimas antioxidantes. A pesar de la toxicidad de este hidrocarburo evidentemente observada en este estudio, C. vulgaris presenta una alta resistencia y adaptación a este contaminante, por lo que se puede decir que este microorganismo tiene la capacidad de evidenciar efectos toxicológicos en un entorno con este contaminante en un corto periodo de tiempo.
“The Son of a Bird”
Authors: Shemesh Abraham Ofir
Published: May 2020

Messages and signs received from animals were used to predict the future since ancient times. The ancestors believed that animal behavior, especially the voices or flight of fowls, indicates what is going to occur, whether success or failure. The current study deals with two post-biblical interpretations of the utilization of birds for divination (ornithomancy) in the biblical story of the Midianite war against the Israelites (Num. 25:17–18). The Sifre claims that the Midianites used birds in their war against Israel. The Sifre perceives ornithomancy to be an artful and devious method of combat, whose use had implications for the harsh fate that befell the Israelites. According to Sefer ha-Zohar, Balak was a magician who used bird techniques in order to be aware of his situation during the war. When his own bird communicated to him that he could not face the people of Israel he looked to Balaam for help.
Reflections on attending the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba’s Award for the Advancement of Interreligious Understanding Ceremony
Authors: Bush Peter
Published: May 2020

The Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Manitoba annually presents an Award for the Advancement of Interreligious Understanding. Such an award being created in a twenty-first century secular democracy is atypical. This essay examines the motivation behind the award’s creation and describes some of the recipients. The lack of religious practices during the award ceremonies suggests that state agents can talk about religion, applauding religion’s commitment to human flourishing, but cannot allow expressions of spiritual practices within a state-sponsored space. The essay concludes by asking if there are contexts where religious practices could be included in stated-sponsored spaces within a secular democracy.

Minyan in Daniel Deronda
Authors: Greenstein Michael
Published: May 2020

George Eliot’s final novel, Daniel Deronda (1876), is arguably her finest achievement. Deftly combining the plot of Gwendolen Harleth’s provincial English life with the Jewish plot involving Deronda’s hidden identity, Eliot’s fiction advances in new directions. After studying Jewish history and philosophy for a number of years, Eliot turned to “the other” in her writing, reaching out to a Jewish minority in the Diaspora, which was trying to finds its place in modern European society. Her multiple portraits of Jews across Europe are realistic and idealistic, extending back to the past and projecting to the future. Challenging Victorian taboos, Eliot’s novel is both proto-Zionist and proto-Freudian. Exposing her nineteenth-century readers to a variety of Jewish characters, she paves the way for twentieth-century writers to explore further the nuances of Jews and Judaism. Her radical and experimental techniques, hidden within traditional prose, continue to resonate in the twenty-first century, with its greater understanding of double plots.

Authors: IIda Christyan Hiroshi , Girard José , Chagas Mariana , Villafuerte Segio , Arita Emiko , Munhoz Luciana
Published: May 2020

Objetivo: O principal objetivo desta revisão da literatura é fornecer informações necessárias ao cirurgião-dentista para prover o conhecimento e o reconhecimento da osteoporose, tanto no âmbito biológico celular quanto radiográfico. Resultados:A osteoporose é uma doença sistêmica que afeta o metabolismo ósseo, alterando sua microarquitetura e diminuindo a densidade mineral óssea (DMO) sem produzir variações em sua composição química. Afeta preferencialmente ossos com grande quantidade de tecido ósseo trabecular, como a mandíbula. A redução da densidade mineral óssea da mandíbula pode ser verificada por meio de radiografias panorâmicas. A diminuição da densidade óssea na mandíbula é um dos sinais de alerta de osteoporose. Conclusões:  É essencial que o cirurgião-dentista possa avaliar criticamente a qualidade óssea da mandíbula, incluindo seus aspectos biológicos e radiográficos para o planejamento adequado dos tratamentos.

Encode Protocol Versus Conventional Protocol for Single-Implant Restoration: A Prospective 2-Year Follow-Up Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Abduo Jaafar , Lee Choy Lin , Sarfarazi Golnaz , Xue Bradley , Judge Roy , Darby Ivan
Published: May 2020

The Encode protocol for restoring single dental implants simplifies the implant impression technique by using a specially coded transmucosal healing abutment. It allows recording of the implant position without the removal of the healing abutment. This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial compares the 2-year clinical performance of the Encode and the conventional protocols for restoring single implants. A total of 47 implants were randomly allocated for restoration by the Encode (24 implants) and the conventional (23 implants) protocols. The implants were reviewed after 2 years to evaluate patient satisfaction, esthetics, prosthesis cleansability, mucosal health, bleeding on probing (BoP), metallic discoloration, probing pocket depth (PPD), marginal bone level (MBL), and quality of the proximal and occlusal contacts. In addition, all forms of complications were reported. Twenty Encode and 17 conventional implants were reviewed. The 2 protocols were comparable in all variables. A consistent increase of open proximal contacts was detected for the 2 protocols. Two Encode (10.0%) and 4 conventional (21.1%) crowns had screw loosening that was predominantly associated with cross-pins. This had led to the failure of 2 conventional crowns. Three Encode (15.0%) and 2 conventional (11.8%) crowns displayed ceramic chipping. The Encode and the conventional crowns had survival rates of 100.0% and 89.5%, respectively. From the biologic, prosthetic, and esthetic perspectives, the Encode and the conventional protocols provided a comparable clinical outcome over a 2-year duration.

Published: May 2020

Within the paper the results of conducted researches in order to obtain a protein hydrolysate from wool waste as raw material are presented. The experiments were conducted in two variants: a) alkaline hydrolyse using potassium hydroxide, a mix of potassium hydroxide with urea and a mix of potassium hydroxide with sodium hydroxide as well as b) acidic hydrolyse with sulfuric acid or a mix of sufuric acid with phosphoric acid in different proportions. The parameters intervals used were: pH 0,5-2,5 for acidic hydrolyse and pH 9,5-13,5 for the alkalinic one; temperatures between 120-150 °C and pressures between 1,4-4,6 bar. Acid hydrolysis is favored by the high proportion of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, a low pH and from high temperature and pressure. The alkaline hydrolysis is favored by a pH higher then 12 as well as the urea content. A high temperature and pressure has a beneficial effect over alkaline hydrolysis.

Published: May 2020

Two microsporidia have been described infecting honey bees worldwide: Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. The infecting forms of the parasite are the spores, ingested by the adult host insects. Studies demonstrated that the infection with Nosema spp. range from less than 1 to 100 percent, this disease reduces worker longevity by 22-44% which in turn reduces honey production and causes incomplete crop pollination. However, the used conventional drugs in beekeeping sector has a strong limitation due to the big concern about antibiotics resistance, transmission of antibiotics residues in beehive products and to a lesser extent, unbalancing risk of bee gut microbiota.This review highlights the importance to have healthy bee colonies, which implicitly lead to safety bee products. For this reason, orientation towards alternative treatments without antibiotics and based on natural products with higher antimicrobial effects it is very topical.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Corn Grains
Authors: MUNTEAN Edward , DUDA Marcel , MUNTEAN Nicoleta
Published: May 2020

Contamination of crop plants with organic pollutants raises a growing interest in recent years; among the investigated pollutants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of special concern because some of them are toxic and carcinogenic. In this context, the main purpose of this research was to establish the degree of contamination of corn grains with the 16 priority PAHs under three experimental cultures’ conditions: one with historical pollution, another located in an urban environment and a third reference one, located in an unpolluted area. Analytical determinations were performed by high performance liquid chromatography, highlighting the higher content of low molecular weight PAHs, mainly naphthalene, fluorene and acenaphthene; the high molecular weight PAH’ contamination is mainly due to indeno[1,2,3-c,d]pyrene and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene.

Authors: NEGOIȚĂ Mioara , MIHAI Adriana Laura , ADASCĂLULUI Alina Cristina , IORGA Enuța
Published: May 2020

The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate some validation parameters of a GC-MS sensitive method for the separation, identification, and simultaneous quantification of 18 cis/trans isomers of oleic (FAME C18:1), linoleic (FAME C18:2), and linolenic acid (FAME C18:3) methyl esters. Linearity, sensitivity, and recovery of the developed method were evaluated on calibration solutions. Correlation coefficients (R) were higher than 0.99 in the linear domain for each isomer, the sensitivity of the method was characterized by LOD = 0.03 - 0.05 g/100 g of fat, and LOQ = 0.09 - 0.17 g/100 g of fat, and the recovery ranged between 101.32 - 102.59%. Samples of potato chips were used to demonstrate the applicability of the method and the trans fatty acids (TFA) levels in analyzed sample were below 0.60 g/100 g fat, complying with international recommendations of less than 2 g/100 g of total fat. The proposed GC-MS method allows simultaneous determination of 18 cis/trans isomers (13 trans and 5 cis) of FAME C18 from potato chips.

Authors: BORA Florin Dumitru , CĂLUGĂR Anamaria , BUNEA Claudiu Ioan , RACZ Ionut
Published: May 2020

The primary objectives of this research were to determine the concentration of some inorganic trace components, to evaluate the concentration levels of these in Romanian wines by daily consumption of wine and the health risk of inorganic trace components intake at these rates form Romanian wine. The results indicated that the concentration levels of inorganic components in red wine decreased in the order Zn>Mn>Cr>Cu>Ni>Pb>Co>Cd, in case of white wine decreased in the order Zn>Mn>Cu>Cr>Ni>Pb>Co>Cd. Based on a 60-kilogram adult person, and moderate consumption of 200 milliliters of wine/day, the estimated daily intake of these inorganic components from wines was well below the daily allowance. The target hazard quotient suggests that the exposed humans would not experience significant health risks when ingesting these individual elements from daily consumption of 200 milliliters of Romanian wines/day.

Nowadays, the need for a more precise positioning is a very high, therefore very demanding one, and this is one of the reasons why very large research funding is allocated in satellite technology, the second reason being global geopolitics situation. New satellite constellations are being developed existing satellites that have completed their mission are being replaced with satellites that incorporate technology far superior to their predecessors. Currently we have four constellations with global coverage, NAVSTAR-GPS and Glonass, Galileo and Compass. With the development of these global satellite systems, it is also necessary to develop the user segment, so this requires terrestrial reference stations to be updated to recognize the new signals from them. The article presents the situation of the global satellite systems and the situation of the permanent reference networks in Romania, which are developed by state or private companies.

Published: May 2020

The aim of this study is the detailed description of the esophageal microscopic structure in guinea pigs. Fragments from the cervical, thoracic and abdominal segments of the esophagus were processed for classical paraffin embedding and the sections were stained by hematoxylin-eosin and Goldner’s trichrome methods. The esophagus in guinea pigs is lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and there are no glands in the lamina propria and the submucosa. The muscularis mucosae is formed by smooth muscle cells disposed longitudinally. The muscularis externa is formed by striated muscle cells disposed on 3 layers in the first 2 thirds of the esophagus, while in some regions of the abdominal segment’s circumference, the cells form 4 layers.

Published: May 2020

Since their discovery, Brunner’s glands have been an attractive subject of research. The study aimed to investigate the structure, the topography, and the degree of development of the Brunner’s glands in chinchillas through light microscopy. Transversal fragments from the duodenum of 5 chinchilla males were histologically processed by classical paraffin technique. Brunner glands are much more developed and proportionally, they occupy at least three times more space than the Lieberkuhn glands. In many places, Brunner glands are clustered, suggesting that more than one such gland spills its secretion product through a common Lieberkuhn gland in the space between villi. We can affirm that Brunner glands, after their disposition, appearance and absence of distinct muscularis mucosae, are disposed into the thickness of the mucosa and submucosa in chinchilla (together with the Lieberkuhn glands) and not strictly in the submucosa as in other mammals.

Authors: CERNEA Mihai , FILIP Roxana , CĂTANĂ Raul , CĂTANĂ Laura
Published: May 2020

Our research aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anthelmintic treatments in sheep, as well as the resistance occurrence risk for the most commonly used substances. Anthelmintic medication efficacy was evaluated on 30 animals from a private farm, located in Sânmihaiu Almaşului, Sălaj County. In vivo studies were performed by using Fecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT) and testing an albendazole-based (ABZ) product. In vitro, we used Egg Hatch Assay (EHA) and Larval Development Assay (LDA) for albendazole (ABZ), mebendazole (MBZ), fenbendazole (FBZ), thiabendazole (TBZ) and ivermectin (IVM) (only for LDA). FECRT showed that intestinal nematodes developed resistance phenomena against the ABZ-based product, with an extensivity of 80% at seven days post therapy, an egg reduction percentage of 41.89% at seven days post-therapy and 43.9% at 14 days post-therapy. The in vitro EHA highlighted a superior efficacy of TBZ (egg hatch percentage at reference concentration being 51.21) compared to ABZ (71.89%), MBZ (84.46%) and FBZ (79.22%), with a minimum risk of anthelmintic resistance. The LDA test revealed the superior efficacy of FBZ (MIC 0.59 mcg/ml) and IVM (MIC 0.078 mcg/ml), with a minimal risk of inducing parasitic resistance. All in vivo and in vitro tests revealed a limited ABZ efficacy, recommending avoiding the therapy with this substance.

Published: May 2020

General anesthesia produces different degrees of central nervous depression and changes in the peripheral circulation, therefore affecting the patient’s thermoregulatory mechanism. Moreover, the lack of proper, specially designed equipment for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment monitoring can represent a challenge for the anesthetist. We examined the temperature variations correlated with different anesthetic protocols in dogs that underwent general anesthesia in order to evaluate changes in rectal and distal extremities temperature, before and after anesthesia. This study was conducted at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Bucharest, on 21 dogs that were divided in 3 groups depending on the anesthetic protocol used. First group (B) received butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg, intravenously IV), second group (BK) had butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) and a low dose of ketamine (2 mg/kg) IV, and group 3 (BM) was premedicated with butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) IV. All patients were induced with propofol i.v. (3.24±0.68), intubated and maintained with isoflurane and oxygen. We determined rectal temperature before and right after the end of anesthesia with a digital thermometer and distal extremities temperature with the use of a thermal imaging camera attached to a smartphone. There was no significant difference between the rectal temperature before and after anesthesia within the 3 groups. Patients in group BK had a significant change in skin temperature at the end of anesthesia in all limbs (from 310C to 29.8 0C, p=0.008 and from 31 0C to 29.70C, p=0.009), respectively). Temperature variations were presented before and at the end of anesthesia, for all the groups especially at skin level. This study revealed that mobile thermal imaging represents a non-invasive technique that is helpful in assessing real time temperature changes in patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Translocal Anglo-India and the Multilingual Reading Public
Authors: Mulholland James
Published: May 2020

This article proposes a new literary history of British Asia that examines its earliest communities and cultural institutions in translocal and regional registers. Combining translocalism and regionalism redefines Anglo‐Indian writing as constituted by multisited forces, only one of which is the reciprocal exchange between Britain and its colonies that has been the prevailing emphasis of literary criticism about empire. I focus on the eighteenth century's overlooked military men and lowlevel colonial administrators who wrote newspaper verse, travel poetry, and plays. I place their compositions in an institutional chronicle defined by the “cultural company‐state,” the British East India Company, which patronized and censored Anglo- India's multilingual reading publics. In the process of arguing for Anglo‐Indian literature as a local and regional creation, I consider the how the termsBritishandanglophoneshould function in literary studies of colonialism organized not by hybridity or creolization but by geographic relations of distinction.

Aural Speed-Reading: Some Historical Bookmarks
Authors: Mills Mara , Sterne Jonathan
Published: May 2020

Together they are writing a book entitled “Tuning Time: Histories of Sound and Speed.” The authors would like to thank the Epistemes of Modern Acoustics group at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Jason Camlot, Iben Have, Burç Kostem, and Shafeka Hashash.

We write the history of aural speed-reading and time-stretching technology in two tracks, taking a cue from Annemarie Mol'sThe Body Multiple: Ontology in Medical Practice, with its “upper text” and “subtext” that invite readers “to invent a way of reading that works for them from scratch” (ix). In the spirit of the story that opens track 1, on the left, we decided to jimmy the format of thePMLApage. To differing degrees, each track provides context, describes events, raises questions, and applies analytic frames. Track 1 is our narration of a series of events recalled by Harvey Lauer to Mara Mills; the insights derive from his professional expertise and personal reading experiences. Track 2, on the right, does not benefit from the kind of omniscient sight known as hindsight; it reads alongside. Think of these tracks as an animated and mostly asynchronous conversation among people who care about instruments of sound and reading in distinct but similarly fanatical ways.

Arap fütuhatı ile birlikte, Azerbaycan, uzun süren Arap hakimiyeti sürecine girdi. Yakın ve Orta Doğunun diğer ülkelerinde olduğu gibi, Azerbaycan’da da, din, dil, edebiyat, tarih alanlarında bir takım gelişmeler sağlandı. Yerel kaynaklarlar da ise, Arapların bölgeye gelmesiyle birlikte, ülkenin ilmi ve medeni hayatında, genel olarak uygulanan ‘’Araplaştırma’’ politikası sürecinde, dini- etnik ve kültürel yapının bozulduğu ve gelişmelerin durduğunu hatta bölgede meydana gelen savaşlar birlikte, sosyo-ekonomik anlamda bir takım gerilemelerin yaşandığı ifade edilmektedir. Oysaki, İslam dinin gelişiyle birlikte, fetih olunan bütün bölgelerde, İslam Medeniyeti yaygınlaşarak dünya tarihinin dönüm noktası olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, İslam Medeniyeti, Orta çağ medeniyet tarihinin temelini teşkil etmektedir.
Bu çalışmanın nihai hedefi, genel olarak, dönemin temel dinamiklerini oluşturan başlıca olay ve olguları merkeze alan bir yaklaşım sergileyerek bunları, sebep-sonuç ilişkileri bağlamında açıklanmaktadır. Böylece, Araplar döneminde meydana gelen siyasi kültürel yaklaşımların arka planını aydınlatarak olayların gerçek analizini yapmaktır. Bu bağlamda, Arapların fütuhatı ile Azerbaycan’da meydana gelen siyasi gelişmelerin yanı sıra, sosyal ve kültürel hayatı hakkında yerel kaynaklarda geçen bilgileri ortaya çıkarmak ve bunu Türk İslam Medeniyet Tarihi açısından değerlendirerek okuyuculara sunmaktır.
Assessment of the Sustainability of Budget Revenues in the Regions of the Russian Federation

Published: May 2020

The paper proposes new approaches to assessing the sustainability of budget revenues in a region, which have been tested on the example of 83 subjects of the Russian Federation in 2010-2017. The sustainability of budget revenues is estimated on the basis of time series of two indicators: the ratio of sub-federal budget revenues to GRP and real income of sub-federal budgets per capita. To exclude economies of scale and eliminate system-wide risk, both indicators are calculated as a ratio to average Russian values. Using the construction of temporary linear regressions, a steady growth rate, absolute risk and relative risk of budget revenues are determined. For a comprehensive assessment of the sustainability of budget revenues in a region, we proposed the Arrow-Pratt function with the incorporated risk aversion parameter of 1.5. Using the proposed technique, we evaluated the absolute and relative risk, as well as the sustainability of budget revenues in the Russian regions. Assessments based on the two alternative indicators showed a high correlation. Our study revealed that the least stable budget systems are typical for some border regions, including the backward North Caucasian republics and Far Eastern regions with an unstable economy, and Tyumen Oblast, which is quite developed, but depends on the world market. At the same time, some extractive regions (Republic of Sakha), on the contrary, showed a high stability of budget revenues

Recent advances in the field of electrical engineering, semiconductor and converter technology, have led to introduction of a new class of electric machines, operating in a wide range of rotational velocities, which are called gate. These machines make it possible to build standalone power supplies on their basis, to ensure the generation of high power with minimum drive unit requirements. A mathematical model of the mechanical synchronous generator with voltage stabilization when changing the drive shaft rotational velocity in a wide range have been implemented in MatLab Simulink package composed of specialist electrical block library. The modeling process in MatLab Simulink functions as a construction scheme of the standard block device package and configure of its individual elements. Obtained results concerning simulation of a gate generator with voltage stabilization based on the example of 32 pole machine with 1 kW showed good ability to generate high electric power over a wide rotational velocity range (90 to 187.5 rpm). Operated intermediate converters are able to maintain the stability of the voltage value at the variable rotational velocity that results in required operation for stand-alone power supplies

The method of water decontamination of thermal power plant heating surfaces in the process of slag-forming fuel burning has been considered. The consequences of ash and slag formation, their influence on the boiler unit operation and the methods of elimination have been revealed. The blast by steam and water is the main and the most common cleaning method. Despite a large number of domestic water blowers, the most part of designs has some parameters requiring their technical level improving. In order to increase the technical level of produced blowers, JSC «Krasnoyarsk machine-building plant» studies the design weaknesses based on the comments and suggestions of operation organizations. The research done allow to find out the main design parameters which can determine the reliability and efficiency of long-range water decontamination. The parameters that were defined make it possible to minimize mass, dimensions and energy consumption of the blower. As a result of the research, a new and improved KMZE027 long-range water blower has been developed. In terms of technical specifications, it is a highly competitive machine with a foreign SMART CANNON blower by Clyde-Bergemann. Some calculations have been carried out and influence dependencies of the nozzle device design and pressure on the jet formation have been determined. The new blower is an import-substituting product. The materials and devices of domestic production are used in its design

Published: May 2020

El análisis de las relaciones de género en la Educación Física no es un tema nuevo. Sin embargo, los pequeños cambios observados justifican la reelaboración del problema. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la forma de estructurar las clases, la percepción de los profesores sobre el comportamiento de los estudiantes, y analizar las estrategias utilizadas en una acción positiva sobre el tema. El estudio fue de tipo combinado descriptivo/ exploratorio, en el que participaron diez profesores de Educación Física de la Educación Pública del Distrito Federal que trabajan en la educación primaria. Los resultados apuntan a la necesidad de seguir cuestionando la percepción de los profesores y estudiantes de Educación Física por ser éste un espacio privilegiado para la construcción de la corporeidad, teniendo el potencial para reinventar las relaciones de género.
Niveles e actividad física de niños y adolescentes durante el descanso en la escuela, un estudio observacional con el uso de Soplay
Authors: Arias Elkin Alberto Arias
Published: May 2020

Marco teórico: La práctica de Actividad Física (AF) en la escuela es muy importante para los niños de hogares de bajos ingresos ubicados en zonas de- primidas. Estos niños no pueden tener acceso a programas extraescolares de AF debido a la falta de ofertas adecuadas en la zona, los problemas de seguridad, por estar en situación de niño trabajador o por falta de recursos financieros (Blatchtford, Baines y Pellegrini, 2003). La escuela parece ser un lugar apropiado para moverse durante el descanso. Sin embargo, no está claro cómo los factores ambientales en el patio de la escuela influyen en los niveles de AF de niños con edades diferentes. También existen importantes diferencias en la AF de los niños y adolescentes. La necesidad innata de moverse puede contribuir a los niveles de AF más altos en los niños que en los de los adolescentes, incluso en ambientes similares (Rowland & Hughes, 2006). Objetivo: En este estudio se compararon los niveles de actividad física de los niños y adolescentes que comparten la misma es- cuela (los adolescentes van a la escuela por la mañana, los niños van por la tarde). Método: Los observadores utilizaron el sistema SOPLAY (System for Observing Play and Leisure Activity in Youth) (McKenzie, 2000) para obtener datos sobre la cantidad y el tipo de AF que practican los niños y adolescentes durante los descansos. Resultados: Los resultados indican que el 52, 7% de los estudiantes no realizan ningún tipo de AF durante el reposo y permanecen sedentarios, el 27,2% practica AF de moderada intensidad, el 20,1% practica AF vigorosa. 47, 3% de los escolares y adolescentes practican actividad física de moderada a vigorosa intensidad (MVPA). Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas (p <0,5) entre los niños y adolescentes, los niños son más activos durante el receso esco- lar que los adolescentes.

Bu çalışmanın amacı sanayileşmeyle değişen üretim süreçlerinin geleneksel meslekleri nasıl etkilediğini göstermektir. Bu bağlamda odağına Devrek Bastonu’nu yerleştiren çalışma, sanayileşmenin toplumsal değişmelerle ilişkisini, bastonun dönüşüm hikayesiyle birleştirmiştir. Geleneksel mesleklerin makine karşısında direncini kaybettiğini varsayan çalışma, modern üretim sisteminin beslediği tüketim toplumu içerisinde nesneleşmelerine vurgu yapmıştır. Devrek Bastonu’nun atölyeden fabrikaya geçiş süreci nesneleşmenin sonucu olarak düşünülmüştür. Daha fazla kar güdüsü ve işin getirdiği maliyeti azaltma kaygısı “kızılcık ağacından yapılma” bastonu, odundan yapılan bir “tahtaya” dönüştürmüştür. Tahtaya dönüşen baston, üzerinde ustanın ürettiği bütün anlamlı pratikleri de kaybetmiştir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Devrek’te 10 baston ustasıyla görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler, “sorunlar ve mesleğin anlamlandırılması”, “makineleşmenin bastonculuk kültürü üzerine etkisinin keşfedilmesi” ve “mesleğin gelecek kuşaklara aktarılması güçlüğü” şeklinde üç temel başlıkta çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmada makineleşmenin bastonun değerini düşürdüğü ve turistik bir metaya dönüştürdüğü ulaşılan önemli bir sonuç olmuştur.
TÜRKİYE İÇİN DIŞ BORCUN DIŞLAMA VE BORÇ FAZLASI HİPOTEZLERİNİN AMPİRİK ANALİZİ
Authors: ELA Mehmet , PATA Uğur Korkut
Published: May 2020

Kamu dış borcunun yatırımlar ve ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki olumlu ve olumsuz etkilerini tanımlayan çeşitli hipotezler mevcuttur. Bu bağlamda, borç fazlası ve dışlama hipotezleri sırasıyla, kamu dış borçlanmasının ekonomik büyümeyi ve yatırımları negatif yönde etkileyeceğini belirtmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye için bahsi geçen iki hipotezin geçerliliği 1987-2017 döneminde bileşik eş-bütünleşme testi, tam modifiye edilmiş ve dinamik en küçük kareler tahmincileri ile test edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları iç borcun hem yatırımları hem de büyümeyi, dış borcun ise sadece yatırımları olumsuz yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ancak, kamu dış borç servisi ile özel sektör yatırımları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki elde edilememiştir. Bu nedenle dışlama hipotezi geçerli değildir. Benzer şekilde Türkiye’de ekonomik büyüme ve dış borç stoku arasında bir ilişki olmadığı için borç fazlası hipotezi de geçersizdir. Bu durumun sebepleri tartışılmıştır.
CERTAIN DISCUSSION ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION AND PROTECTION OF INHERITANCE RIGHTS
Authors: Bondareva M.
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study is to draw attention to the issues on inheritance law and the problems related to process of inheritance of real estate objects without the accrual of the rights under the requirements of the current legislation.

The principles of selection of discussion issues is are formulated: complex examples in law enforcement practice, difficult to solve or those that do not have their solution in the existing paradigm of substantive inheritance law and according to the standardized rules of procedure (appli- cation of the inductionmethod).

The author analyses the concept of the universal in hereditary legal relations taking into account the scientific opinion of the classics of civilis- tics. It is concluded that this principle not only does not have legislative support in the substantive law of Ukraine. Moreover, there is no its com- mon understanding, in the scientific community.

The article questions the approach under which the inheritance is recognized as the process of transfer of rights not attributable to the heir un- der the current legislation, to the heirs on the grounds that such rights would certainly be acquired by the heir, if not for the end of physical life. The classic thesis is that only real and recognized rights and obligations are inherited. The circle of problematic issues within the article's problems is outlined and alternative ways of their solution are proposed.

The conclusion is substantiated that the approaches proposed today for solving these cases are local, not universal in nature, the likelihood of which is difficult to predict. In order to find a solution, it is suggested that the legislation be amended.
