Contribuições do legado de Paulo Freire para a formação do educador
Authors: Sousa Antonio Carlos de , Solon Thiago Falcão , Moraes Betânea Moreira de
Published: October 2021

A despeito das duras críticas sofridas por Paulo Freire nos últimos anos, orquestradas pelo (des)governo vigente no Brasil, indubitável é o fato de que suas obras foram e são estudadas até os dias atuais, contribuindo significativamente para a formação de educadores e educadoras nacionais e internacionais. Incontestáveis também são os contributos subtraídos por intermédio das leituras dos escritos deste mundialmente reconhecido pernambucano e que em 2021 completaria 100 anos, se vivo fosse. Partindo dessas premissas, o presente artigo tem como objetivo primaz evidenciar as contribuições do legado de Paulo Freire para a formação de educadores e educadoras, a partir das obras Pedagogia da Autonomia e Pedagogia do Oprimido, podendo, assim, reverberar no processo de construção da emancipação humana. Para tanto, o estudo dispôs-se a realizar uma análise teórico-bibliográfica dos referidos livros, subsidiada pelas contribuições de Freire (2010), Marini (2018), Pavan (2011) dentre outros autores, referentes à temática da formação docente e à obra freiriana. Infere-se com essa investigação que a perspectiva freiriana traz, em seu bojo, significativas contribuições para os diferentes sujeitos educacionais, a partir do momento em que estes tomam consciência de seus papéis na transformação de uma sociedade de classes antagônicas, fundada na exploração do homem pelo homem.
Apresentação - Perspectivas críticas sobre o direito à educação na Pandemia: reflexões para além da crise sanitária e os desmandos da Política Educacional Brasileira
Authors: Nunes Klívia de Cássia Silva , Rezende Valéria Moreira
Published: October 2021

Este dossiê propõe discutir o direito à educação, enquanto direito público subjetivo, garantido na Constituição Federal de 1988, bem como posto nas legislações, resoluções e pareceres que organizam, sistematizam e efetivam o acesso à educação. Com relação ao direito público subjetivo, Cury (2002) diz que este reconhecimento implica ao Estado seu dever de atender a todos, em idade escolar, no cumprimento dos anos da escolaridade obrigatória. Além destes documentos norteadores, a educação está posta como um direito humano fundamental desde 1948, assegurado na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, que no seu preâmbulo do artigo 26, inciso I, coloca que toda pessoa tem direito à educação (Declaração dos Direitos Humanos, 1948). Com efeito, o acervo doutrinário, no conjunto normativo, inclusive internacional, responde às bases dos valores da cidadania social e política no processo histórico da modernidade (CURY, 2002). Nesta conjuntura da área do direito à educação encontram-se inseridas reflexões sobre o momento atual pelo qual a sociedade mundial vem passando desde 2020, com a pandemia da COVID-19, que significou descortinar a fragilidade do sistema educacional brasileiro, através de políticas públicas incapazes de garantir o que está prescrito na legislação.
Les dimensions collectives de l’actualité locale : vers une grille d'analyse des pratiques des acteurs des écosystèmes médiatiques bruxellois
Authors: Wiard Victor
Published: October 2021

S’insérant dans le débat académique portant sur les pratiques de participation au journalisme et le journalisme participatif, cet article propose une grille d’analyse des pratiques des acteurs impliqués dans la production de nouvelles locales sur Internet. Au moyen d’une revue des différents modèles existants dans la littérature, nous proposons le modèle « ADD élargi » pour accès, dialogue, délibération. En outre, nous proposons de croiser ces trois aspects de la participation au journalisme la diversité des catégories d’acteurs impliqués – les journalistes professionnels, mais aussi les politiciens et activistes locaux ainsi que d’autres citoyens – afin de mieux comprendre les interactions entre les différents acteurs des écosystèmes médiatiques locaux. In fine, cette approche propose un autre regard sur la relation entre les individus qui interviennent d’une manière ou d’une autre dans la production de nouvelles locales.

Published: October 2021

The aim of research is describe the psychological adjustment levels of fencing students at ages 6-11 through their parents and teachers. 42 male and 38 female fencing students participated in the research. In order to determine the psychological adjustment level of the participants, a personal information form and Hacettepe Psychological Adjustment Scale filled out by the parents and teachers. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and Mann Whitney-U analysis were applied to the data set. As a result of the analyzes, it was found that there was a negative correlation between sport age and psychological maladjustment levels (p <0.05). It is thought that fencing positively affect children’s psychological adjustment level. However, there was a significant difference between parent and teacher evaluations (p <0.05). It can be mentioned that teachers see children more flawlessly and in harmony while evaluating, or that children exhibit behavioral problems in the school environment at a lower rate than in the home environment.  It is thought that the obtained data can be a guide resource for longitudinal and experimental studies to be conducted on the potential of fencing sports to effect the psychological adjustment levels of children.

The Effect of Hybrid Training Combined with On demand Classes
Authors: Kunieda Yoshiaki , Niwa Shojiro , Dee Sann , Kashima Hideyuki , Murai Koji
Published: October 2021

One aspect of life hit hard by the COVD-19 pandemic in 2020 was education in general and, in this case, actual ship training. The same is true for anchoring training, implemented annually as part of maritime training. Therefore, to conduct ship training effectively and briefly, this study advocates hybrid training, that is, shortened practical training combined with on demand video learning materials created and distributed to students in advance.

Group work on ship handling planning that lasts for three to six hours is normally conducted annually in traditional classes. However, because of the pandemic, the allotted time for group work was reduced to approximately 1.5 hours. Therefore, in 2020, we conducted hybrid training, that is, anchoring training that included on demand video learning materials. Compared to students’ 66.3% average achievement rate in 2018 and 2019, the average in 2020 was 78.3%. ‘Anchoring procedure’ and ‘altering course’ items showed a particularly large gap in evaluation. The following were effects of hybrid training:

(1) Videos that can be watched in advance can also be viewed repeatedly at one’s own pace.

(2) The capacity to watch videos via smart phones provides students with better access.

(3) As videos can be watched in advance, students become familiar with concepts before training, thus leading to better understanding of the training’s content and purpose.

These results demonstrated hybrid training’s effect when practical training is combined with on demand materials.

Authors: Wang L. , Chen X.Y. , Zhang H.
Published: October 2021

Joint distribution means multiple clients were provided distribution services together by only one third-party logistics company. It is a unified plan and implementation used in distribution centres and a distribution activity implemented by multiple consortia. Many problems in distribution can be solved through the joint use of distribution warehouse, vehicles and reasonable logistics business, so as to optimize the overall logistics node and route arrangement. This paper mainly discusses the model of joint distribution of fast moving consumer goods, proposes three types of the optimization model of joint distribution system with Chaopi as an example. We draw the conclusion that Chaopi Trading Co., Ltd. is a joint distribution system optimization business model. This paper puts forward several basic distribution models and analyzes them in combination with practical applications, which has strong practical significance. Although the development of public distribution in China is not very fast, it is an inevitable trend. Through the efforts and explorations of the governments of various countries, there will be more and more choices of public distribution models.

Współczesne teksty urzędowe a zasady prostej polszczyzny (na wybranych przykładach)
Authors: Cieśla Bartłomiej
Published: October 2021

The aim of the article is to analyse forty-one official documents issued by three units of public administration: a voivodeship office, district office and district employment agency. The employees of the first of these have been striving for some time for a simplification and unification of documents, using the suggestions from linguists and sometimes resorting to their own intuition. In order to reach this goal, they have set up a set of rules that they believe make the text more intelligible to their addresses. The employees of the district office and the district employment agency have never made any significant changes to the way official documents are written and have more reservations about simplifying them. The documents discussed in the article will be evaluated in the context of plain Polish language advocated for by the members of the Plain Polish Workshop at the University of Wrocław. The main thesis of the text is the indication that modernising official documents in order to simplify and standardise them is a positive and needed action that benefits not only the addressee, but also the sender of the message.
Kodowanie wartości prawnych w przepisach Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej z 1997 roku. Perspektywa aksjologicznej wykładni prawa
Authors: Kordela Marzena
Published: October 2021

The derivative theory of interpretation of law assumes the rationality of the lawmaker according to which the lawmaker is guided in their work by a coherent, hierarchical and relatively stable system of values comprising three categories: legally binding, reference values and universal values. In order to adequately reconstruct the legally binding category, the directives of the axiological interpretation are used. Thus, each word and phrase of every text of a normative act, including the Polish Constitution, can be assigned a function of the carrier of legal values provided that they meet the conditions imposed on them by the appropriate interpretation directives.
Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T promotes tumor stem cell characteristics and migration of cervical cancer cells by regulating the GRP78/FAK pathway
Authors: Liu YanMei , Ji WenLi , Yue Na , Zhou Weidong
Published: October 2021

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) functions as an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system and mediates cellular processes, such as cell cycle, proliferation, and differentiation. UBE2T has been considered to be an oncogene in a variety of tumors. However, the oncogenic role of UBE2T in cervical cancer remains unclear. In this study, our results first showed that the expression of UBE2T was higher in both of cervical cancer tissues and cells than that in the normal tissues and cells. Knockdown of UBE2T reduced cervical cancer cell viability and suppressed the proliferation, invasion, and migration. However, overexpression of UBE2T contributed to cervical cancer cell growth and metastasis. Moreover, UBE2T overexpression cervical cancer cells demonstrated enhanced self-renewal capacity with upregulation of SOX2, Oct-4, and Nanog protein. Silencing of UBE2T downregulated protein expression of SOX2, Oct-4, and Nanog in cervical cancer cells reduced self-renewal capacity. Furthermore, ectopic UBE2T expression promoted protein expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation in cervical cancer cells. The knockdown of UBE2T reduced protein expression of GRP78 and FAK phosphorylation. Collectively, UBE2T promoted cervical cancer stem cell traits and exerted an oncogenic role through activation of the GRP78/FAK pathway.

Periportal and perivenous hepatocytes show zonal heterogeneity in metabolism and signaling. Here, hepatic zonation in mouse liver was analyzed by non-targeted mass spectrometry (MS) and by the antibody-based DigiWest technique, yielding a comprehensive overview of protein expression in periportal and perivenous hepatocytes. Targeted immunoaffinity-based proteomics were used to substantiate findings related to drug metabolism. 165 (MS) and 82 (DigiWest) zonated proteins were identified based on the selected criteria for statistical significance, including 7 (MS) and 43 (DigiWest) proteins not identified as zonated before. New zonated proteins especially comprised kinases and phosphatases related to growth factor-dependent signaling, with mainly periportal localization. Moreover, the mainly perivenous zonation of a large panel of cytochrome P450 enzymes was characterized. DigiWest data were shown to complement the MS results, substantially improving possibilities to bioinformatically identify zonated biological processes. Data mining revealed key regulators and pathways preferentially active in either periportal or perivenous hepatocytes, with β-catenin signaling and nuclear xeno-sensing receptors as the most prominent perivenous regulators, and several kinase- and G-protein-dependent signaling cascades active mainly in periportal hepatocytes. In summary, the present data substantially broaden our knowledge of hepatic zonation in mouse liver at the protein level.

The authors introduce a new generalized distribution called the Marshall-Olkin Lindley-Log-logistic (MOLLLoG) distribution and discuss its distributional properties. The properties include hazard function, quantile function, moments, conditional moments, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, distribution of the order statistics and Rényi entropy. A Monte Carlo simulation study was used to examine the bias, relative bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators. The betterness of the new distribution compared to other distributions is illustrated by means of two real life datasets.
Novel drug design and bioinformatics: an introduction
Authors: Khan Mohammad Kalim Ahmad , Akhtar Salman
Published: October 2021

In the current era of high-throughput technology, where enormous amounts of biological data are generated day by day via various sequencing projects, thereby the staggering volume of biological targets deciphered. The discovery of new chemical entities and bioisosteres of relatively low molecular weight has been gaining high momentum in the pharmacopoeia, and traditional combinatorial design wherein chemical structure is used as an initial template for enhancing efficacy pharmacokinetic selectivity properties. Once the compound is identified, it undergoes ADMET filtration to ensure whether it has toxic and mutagenic properties or not. If the compound has no toxicity and mutagenicity is either considered a potential lead molecule. Understanding the mechanism of lead molecules with various biological targets is imperative to advance related functions for drug discovery and development. Notwithstanding, a tedious and costly process, taking around 10–15 years and costing around $4 billion, cascaded approached of Bioinformatics and Computational biology viz., structure-based drug design (SBDD) and cognate ligand-based drug design (LBDD) respectively rely on the availability of 3D structure of target biomacromolecules and vice versa has made this process easy and approachable. SBDD encompasses homology modelling, ligand docking, fragment-based drug design and molecular dynamics, while LBDD deals with pharmacophore mapping, QSAR, and similarity search. All the computational methods discussed herein, whether for target identification or novel ligand discovery, continuously evolve and facilitate cost-effective and reliable outcomes in an era of overwhelming data.
The suite of Taylor–Galerkin class schemes for ice transport on sphere implemented by the INMOST package
Authors: Petrov Sergey S. , Iakovlev Nikolay G.
Published: October 2021

Realizations of the numerical solution of the scalar transport equation on the sphere, written in divergent form, are presented. Various temporal discretizations are considered: the one-step Taylor–Galerkin method (TG2), the two-step Taylor–Galerkin method of the second (TTG2), third (TTG3), and fourth (TTG4) orders. The standard Finite-Element Galerkin method with linear basis functions on a triangle is applied as spatial discretization. The flux correction technique (FCT) is implemented. Test runs are carried out with different initial profiles: a function fromC∞(Gaussian profile) and a discontinuous function (slotted cylinder). The profiles are advected by reversible, nondivergent velocity fields, therefore the initial distribution coincides with the final one. The case of a divergent velocity field is also considered to test the conservation and positivity properties of the schemes. It is demonstrated that TG2, TTG3, and TTG4 schemes with FCT applied give the best result for small Courant numbers, and TTG2, TTG4 are preferable in case of large Courant number. However, TTG2+FCT scheme has the worst stability. The use of FCT increases the integral errors, but ensures that the solution is positive with high accuracy. The implemented schemes are included in the dynamic core of a new sea ice model developed using the INMOST package. The acceleration of the parallel program and solution convergence with spatial resolution are demonstrated.
UK-China Relations: the U.S. Factor
Authors:   MGIMO University, Mamedova Anastasia
Published: October 2021

The article explores the evolution of the UK‟s approach to China through the lens of UK-US relations. A deeper UK-China economic partnership amid growing competition between Washington and Beijing has given rise to U.S.-UK divergences. They resulted in mounting pressure on the UK, which exacerbated under the Trump administration. The US wants to form a coalition of countries belonging to the political West (e.g., G7 and Five Eyes) to diversify supplies, decrease its dependence on Chinese goods and prevent Beijing from acquiring cutting-edge technologies. The following cases are described to explore U.S. attempts to influence Sino-British relations: the UK government‟s decision to allow Chinese investors to participate in building Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, the UK‟s accession to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, clearing Huawei technologies for use in the UK‟s 5G networks and US-UK military cooperation to exercise freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. This pressure is especially evident when U.S. national interests are directly affected, as the Huawei case shows. Moreover, the Conservative party is split when it comes to dealing with China. The UK has been trying to make the US position on China more constructive. Unlike the US, the UK‟s approach to China has been changing gradually.
Disrupting Short-Term Memory Maintenance in Premotor Cortex Affects Serial Dependence in Visuomotor Integration
Authors: de Azevedo Neto Raymundo Machado , Bartels Andreas
Published: October 2021

Human behavior is biased by past experience. For example, when intercepting a moving target, the speed of previous targets will bias responses in future trials. Neural mechanisms underlying this so-called serial dependence are still under debate. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the previous trial leaves a neural trace in brain regions associated with encoding task-relevant information in visual and/or motor regions. We reasoned that injecting noise by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over premotor and visual areas would degrade such memory traces and hence reduce serial dependence. To test this hypothesis, we applied bursts of TMS pulses to right visual motion processing region hV5/MT+ and to left dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) during intertrial intervals of a coincident timing task performed by twenty healthy human participants (15 female). Without TMS, participants presented a bias toward the speed of the previous trial when intercepting moving targets. TMS over PMd decreased serial dependence in comparison to the control Vertex stimulation, whereas TMS applied over hV5/MT+ did not. In addition, TMS seems to have specifically affected the memory trace that leads to serial dependence, as we found no evidence that participants' behavior worsened after applying TMS. These results provide causal evidence that an implicit short-term memory mechanism in premotor cortex keeps information from one trial to the next, and that this information is blended with current trial information so that it biases behavior in a visuomotor integration task with moving objects.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTHuman perception and action are biased by the recent past. The origin of such serial bias is still not fully understood, but a few components seem to be fundamental for its emergence: the brain needs to keep previous trial information in short-term memory and blend it with incoming information. Here, we present evidence that a premotor area has a potential role in storing previous trial information in short-term memory in a visuomotor task and that this information is responsible for biasing ongoing behavior. These results corroborate the perspective that areas associated with processing information of a stimulus or task also participate in maintaining that information in short-term memory even when this information is no longer relevant for current behavior.
Governing gene editing in agriculture and food in the United States
Authors: Selfa Theresa , Lindberg Sonja , Bain Carmen
Published: October 2021

Biotechnologies in agriculture and food are increasingly governed by both state and nonstate actors. In this article, we explore emerging tensions and contestations in the United States over how gene-editing technologies in agriculture and food should be governed and by whom. This article is framed theoretically by the literatures examining the politics of state and nonstate governance of the agrifood and biotechnology sectors. We draw on semistructured interviews with 45 key actors in the United States, including representatives of regulatory agencies, commodity groups, consumer and environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), biotechnology and food industry, and scientists. In contrast to assumptions that commodity group and industry actors would share a preference for limited or self-regulation, we find growing contestations, with some calling for novel forms of regulatory oversight. Our findings reveal new tensions, fractures, and realignments between and among government, industry, and NGOs actors over gene-editing governance. These tensions and realignments reflect and respond to demands for broader engagement of publics and greater transparency in the governance of biotechnologies in agriculture and food. We argue that these emerging tensions and realignments between and among state and nonstate actors reflect efforts by these actors to incorporate lessons from the genetically modified organism labeling fight as they seek to (re)shape the governance of gene editing in a manner that reflects their interests.

Objective

Microprolactinomas are currently treated with dopamine agonists. Outcome information on microprolactinoma patients treated by surgery is limited. This study reports the first large series of consecutive non-invasive microprolactinoma patients treated by pituitary surgery and evaluates the efficiency and safety of this treatment.

Design

Follow-up of a cohort of consecutive patients treated by surgery.

Methods

Between January 2008 and October 2020, 114 adult patients with pure microprolactinomas were operated on in a single tertiary expert neurosurgical department, using an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Eligible patients presented with a microprolactinoma with no obvious cavernous invasion on MRI. Prolactin was assayed before and after surgery. Disease-free survival was modeled using Kaplan–Meier representation. A cox regression model was used to predict remission.

Results

Median follow-up was 18.2 months (range: 2.8–155). In this cohort, 14/114 (12%) patients were not cured by surgery, including ten early surgical failures and four late relapses occurring 37.4 months (33–41.8) after surgery. From Kaplan–Meier estimates, 1-year and 5-year disease free survival was 90.9% (95% CI: 85.6–96.4%) and 81% (95% CI: 71.2–92.1%) respectively. The preoperative prolactinemia was the only significant preoperative predictive factor for remission (P < 0.05). No severe complication was reported, with no anterior pituitary deficiency after surgery, one diabetes insipidus, and one postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage properly treated by muscle plasty.

Conclusions

In well-selected microprolactinoma patients, pituitary surgery performed by an expert neurosurgical team is a valid first-line alternative treatment to dopamine agonists.

In 2018, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) officially launched the first round of social and emotional skills tests for 10-year-old and 15-year-old students worldwide. After 3 years of research, the first round of global data collection ended and at the end of 2019 the OECD published the Social and Emotional Ability Assessment International Report. As one of the participating cities, Suzhou, China, successfully completed the first round of testing and released a series of reports. This article summarizes the research work of the OECD and China on social and emotional capabilities of students and discusses a few insights from the data.
Communicative Competence: The Fifth Report of the Social and Emotional Competence Test of Chinese Adolescents
Authors: Huang Jingzhong , Wang Qian , Chen Huanchun , Gao Xingyuan
Published: October 2021

Communicative ability is embodied as "extroversion" in the Big Five Personality Test. Extroversion is an extremely important concept in personality psychology and a more common personality trait. Typically, it includes boldness, self-confidence, liveliness, enthusiasm, optimism, and being. In studying adolescents’ social and emotional abilities, the OECD designed a communication competence evaluation framework based on “extroversion” in the “Big Five Personality” model based on the physical and mental development characteristics of 10-year-old and 15-year-old adolescents. In the OECD evaluation framework, there are three sub-dimensions of communicative competence: happy group, courage and vitality. This study is based on the evaluation data of Suzhou City in China and presents the evaluation results of the communicative ability dimension of the youth social and emotional ability survey in various ways. The data results are presented in the following three parts. The first part uses descriptive statistics to illustrate the overall score of communicative ability, the correlation coefficient of communicative ability and other sub-abilities, and the differences of each ability in age, gender, urban and rural areas, and school categories. The second part uses factors that affect the ability to communicate through multiple regression analysis, including background variables, student variables, teacher variables, school variables, family variables, the impact of student happiness, courage and vitality. Finally, the third part uses multiple regression analysis of the 10-year-old and 15-year-old groups to determine the influence of happiness, courage and vitality on life outcome variables such as health and well-being.

Published: October 2021

The diatom Cymbella australica was found in some water bodies in research of the algaeflora of Kyiv. The Kyiv population of this species had some discrepancies with the diagnosis (Krammer, 2002) of cell size and coarse structure, which brought it closer to C. tumida (Bréb.) Van Heurck. However, the outlines of the sash clearly separated the Kyiv population of C. australica from C. tumida. It is proposed to expand the diagnosis of C. australica and to consider cell outlines as the only discriminatory feature between C. australica and C. tumida.

There was performed a statistical analysis of 164 records of pathological examination of persons who died of coronavirus disease during April-November, 2020. It is determined that the share of males was 62.20%, and females – 37.80%; the average age of the deceased persons was 64.40 ± 13.79 years. The largest number of lethal cases (57.32%) falls on the age category of 60-79 years, and the smallest (6.71%) – on the age category of 20-39 years. It is important that men predominate in all age groups. The most common direct causes of death were: respiratory failure – 78.05%, multiorgan failure – 17.07%. At the same time, respiratory insufficiency was dominant in all age categories, while the share of multiorgan failure was the largest in the group of persons aged 20-39 years. As a result of the analysis of thromboembolic complications found in 10.37% of cases, there were 3.05% of cases of acute coronary syndrome and acute cerebrovascular disorder, 1.83% of cases – acute thrombosis of the arteries of the lower extremities, 1.22% of cases – acute thrombosis of the mesenteric vessels, and 0.61% – disseminated intravascular coagulation of blood and acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Morphological examination of the lung tissue of the deceased persons revealed signs of diffuse alveolar damage involving the microcirculatory bed vessels in the pathological process. According to the results of bacteriological examination of the lungs there were revealed some signs of bacterial infection in 51.83% of cases, and signs of fungal infection – in 15.85% of cases. The most common (23.78%) was the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The most common comorbidities were: coronary heart disease – 62.20%, hypertension – 29.27%, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus – 11.59%, obesity – 10.37%, anemia – 6.71% and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – 2.44%. In 10.98% of cases diabetes was the main underlying disease. The data obtained may indicate an adverse effect of these diseases on the course of coronavirus disease.

Published: October 2021

We study the Pauli equation in a two-dimensional noncommutative phase-space by considering a constant magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. The noncommutative problem is related to the equivalent commutative one through a set of two-dimensional Bopp-shift transformations. The energy spectrum and the wave function of the two-dimensional noncommutative Pauli equation are found, where the problem in question has been mapped to the Landau problem. In the classical limit, we have derived the noncommutative semiclassical partition function for one- and N- particle systems. The thermodynamic properties such as the Helmholtz free energy, mean energy, specific heat and entropy in noncommutative and commutative phasespaces are determined. The impact of the phase-space noncommutativity on the Pauli system is successfully examined.

Authors: Espitia-De La Hoz Franklin José
Published: October 2021

Introducción. El prolapso de órganos pélvicos (POP) es una condición frecuente que afecta tanto la calidad de vida, como la función sexual de las mujeres.
Objetivo. Determinar la prevalencia del POP en mujeres de Quindío, Colombia, y realizar una caracterización de esta población.
Materiales y métodos. Estudio de corte transversal realizado en 1185 mujeres a quienes se les realizó evaluación genital mediante el sistema de cuantificación del prolapso de órganos pélvicos (en inglés POPQ) en un hospital universitario de tercer nivel en Armenia, Colombia, entre 2016 y 2019. Los datos se analizaron a través de estadística descriptiva.
Resultados. La edad promedio fue 52.74 ± 5.64 años. La prevalencia del POP fue de 29.95% (IC 95%: 19.23-31.71). El tipo de prolapso más frecuente fue el del compartimento anterior (38.87%), seguido por el del compartimiento posterior (23.94%). El grado de prolapso más frecuente fue el grado II (33.52%), y el menos frecuente el grado IV (6.19%). En cuanto a la edad, la frecuencia más alta de POP se observó en mujeres >50 años (38.94%; IC 95%: 31.19-42.88), mientras que en grandes multíparas (+ 5 partos) la frecuencia de POP fue de 77.86% (IC 95%:72.11-85.51). Se reportó incontinencia fecal, incontinencia urinaria e incontinencia urinaria oculta en 2.81%, 31.83% y 54.36% de las pacientes con POP.
Conclusiones. La prevalencia de POP es alta en las mujeres del Quindío, la mayoría multicompartimental. La POP es una condición frecuente entre las mayores de 50 años; las grandes multíparas tienen mayor riesgo de presentarlo. Estos datos confirman que el POP es un problema de salud común en esta región del país.
BLOOD PLASMA BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF CAPTIVE BLACK-NECKED PHEASANT (PHASIANUS COLCHICUS), GRAY PARTRIDGE (PERDIX PERDIX) AND CHUKAR PARTRIDGE (ALECTORIS CHUKAR) OF BOTH SEXES IN BULGARIA
Authors: Nikolov S. , Kanakov D.
Published: October 2021

In the study, 36 (n=12 by species, n=6 by sex) blood samples were taken from a captive, adult, clinically healthy, Black-necked pheasants or Southern Caucasus pheasants (Phasianus col. colchicus), Gray partridge (Perdix perdix), and Chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) for plasma biochemical analyses. The investigated plasma biochemical parameters were Creatinine, Uric acid, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Significant differences (P<0.05) among both sexes were found in the activity of ALT in Black-necked pheasants. Creatinine levels are relatively close in value between the sexes in all three species, slightly higher in males. Uric acid values in male birds are much higher than in female game birds in all three species. AST and ALT activities in male pheasants were higher when compared to the females, while the trend was reversed in sex at Gray partridges.
The Impact of Youth Unemployment Due To Work Experience Required by Business Houses, Lusaka Zambia
Authors: Aroumougame Ananda Kumar
Published: October 2021

Research papers looking deep into the causes of youth unemployment focus not only on the causes but solutions of the unemployment rate in Lusaka Zambia. The government of Zambia recognizes these challenges and has pledged to increase employment in general, and employment for youth in particular. So far, however, his initiative has not made the needed difference. Often in business life young people are not given the opportunity or opportunity to express their abilities in relation to the skills they have acquired while in college. This study uses quantitavie method. Result The Government of the Republic of Zambia has in many cases talked about reducing the unemployment rate but the question is what has been done about it? More local flexibility in the design and implementation of policies to address youth unemployment could solve this problem. Participation in work operations results in gains in employment as income in the post-program period and decreases in welfare and unemployment receipts and payments. This positive effect persists at a relatively stable level for up to four years after youth leave the program.

This study’s goal is to analyze the website communication of environmental, social, and governance –Environmental Social Governance (ESG)– information by companies on the Madrid Stock Exchange. The empirical descriptive and inferential analysis determines IBEX35 companies’ regulatory compliance in disclosure of non-financial information through examination of their website disclosure of ESG information. Economic-financial information from the Iberian Balance Sheet Analysis System (Sistema de Análisis de Balances Ibéricos (SABI)) database was also used to investigate whether the firms that communicate this information better are also more economically efficient. The study results reveal that IBEX35 companies’ website disclosure provides heterogeneous information that is difficult to access and that they need to improve website transparency by communicating sound, sustainable non-financial reports. Further, a significant correlation was found between the companies that disclose the most ESG information and those that have the highest economic profitability –that is, those that are best adapted to the Spanish legal system and compatible with the challenges established by the UN’s Agenda 2030.
Application of Functional Theory of Political Discourse in Chilean presidential debates to determine the influence of journalists in the contents
Authors: Porath William , Ortega-Gunckel Constanza , Núñez-Mussa Enrique
Published: October 2021

Within the growing academic interest over electoral debates, the role of the journalists who conduct the debates in determining the tenor of the answers has not been sufficiently studied. We used Chile as an extreme case, given the predominant role that the debate moderators receive here, thanks to the “journalistic panel” format utilized in them, where they take turns to interview the candidates. As a framework to describe these contents, we used Functional Theory of Political Discourse by William Benoit. Our data show that, indeed, the candidates use different combinations of said functions, depending on the different frameworks established by the rules for each debate. Clearly, the candidates tend to defend themselves from the attacks of the journalists, rather than their rivals’; and they use other strategies when the rules allow them more freedom.

Crimean Correspondents of Academician V. I. Vernadsky (1920s–1930s)
Authors:   V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Simferopol, Republic of Crimea, Nepomnyashchy Andrey A. ,   Sh. Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences, Kazan
Published: October 2021

Referring to a corpus of epistolary sources kept in the personal archival fund of academician V. I. Vernadsky in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (correspondence sent to him from Crimea) and documents from the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive and the Department of Written Sources of the State Historical Museum, the author restores some aspects of the daily life of Crimean local history of the 1920s–1930s. Vernadsky’s attention to people and events on the peninsula are connected with a dramatic period of his biography, i.e. his unexpected tenure as rector of the University of Taurida (October 1920 — January 1921). Thanks to the participation of the university in the activities of the Taurida Scientific Association, the academician formed a social circle of scientists from different fields of knowledge in Crimea. The analysis of Vernadsky’s correspondence helps define his range of interests related to Crimean affairs after his departure from Crimea. Vernadsky, not indifferent to the fate of Taurida University (M. V. Frunze Pedagogical Institute) (during the years in question described as Crimean University), was interested in the fate of the prominent professors who he worked with at the university in 1920. Thanks to the Crimean correspondence of A. I. Markevich, the leader of the local history movement, the author has been able to clarify the fate of individual manuscripts by V. I. and G. V. Vernadsky and the history of transfer of funds of the pioneers of comprehensive exploration of the peninsula P. I. Köppen and H. H. Steven to the Archives of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The epistolary heritage of geologists P. A. Dvoichenko and S. P. Popova, Vernadsky’s former colleagues at Taurida University, makes it possible to recreate the pages of the research of the natural productive forces of Crimea carried out in those years. In his correspondence with professors E. V. Petukhov and N. L. Ernst, Vernadsky discussed individual issues that worried scientists.

Abstract Myrciaria floribunda is a species native to the restinga areas of the Atlantic Forest that presents great phenotypic variation in fruits, great socioeconomic importance in regions of natural occurrence and high productive potential. The characterization of heterogeneous populations is crucial for plant selection and breeding programs, since it allows the distinction of superior individuals. The aim of this study was to characterize the reproductive structure of M. floribunda accessions, and to observe the influence of climate and environment on its reproductive process, through floral biology, floral morphoanatomy and reproductive phenology. Apis mellifera and Trigona spinipes are the main floral visitors of cambuí. Stigma receptivity lasts up to 5 hours after flower opening and pollen viability was above 90%. Regarding the flower structure, the female sexual organ is monocarpic, the ovary is efferent, bilocular, with two ovules per locule, the inflorescence is fascicle-like and consists of small white flowers, actinomorph symmetry, heteroclamid and monoclines. Plants bloomed irregularly throughout the year, concentrating flowering in two periods of the year with the greatest peaks in March and August, while the greatest fruiting peaks were observed in April and September.
