Important Issues of Providing Genetic Services in Serbia From the Perspective of Medical law
Authors: Mujović Zornić Hajrija
Published: January 2021

Medico-legal issues that arise from the work of genetic health services became in recent time very current, especially regarding the Serbian law issues and dilema how to treat rare deseases patients among other voulnerable groups, whish often were not recognized in society. The legal system shall be an important mechanism, which could help by giving some solutions concerning the relations, rights and obligations of all parties in providing genetic services (informing, counseling, testing, keeping privacy). The law is invited to establish a delicate balance between legal qualification and more practical issues. In many countries there are medical guidelines for health professionals and biologists who work in the area of human genetics, according to which is done the essential rules for medical proceedings, with also significant parameters for legal decisions. Sometimes the legal situation is more complex when it includes malpractice cases due to violation of rights or breach of professional duties and contractual obligations in genetics. All issues should be consider from the aspect of Serbian legislator efforts to make a new codification in the area of genetic dignostics, which is adopted in January 2015.
Comparative Study of Agarophytes - Gracilaria edulis and Gelidiella acerosa as Biostimulant and Application of Agar for Water-holding in Soil and Plant Growth Promotion
Authors: Mahusook Saajida Sultaana , Rajathi F. Arockiya Aarthi , Maharifa H. Noorul Samsoon , Sharmila R.
Published: January 2021

Background: Seaweeds and its derivatives are extensively used as biostimulants in horticulture and agriculture as a replacement for chemical fertilizers. G. edulis and G. acerosa are easily cultivable and economically important seaweeds. They are a rich source of phytohormones, amino acids, antibiotics, vitamins, micro, macro elements and agar. Such natural products have great demand and been commercialized these days to promote sustainable agriculture. Dried and finely powdered algal biomass is used directly as a biostimulant. Algal polysaccharides such as agar can be an innovative alternative to synthetic polymers used in horticulture as they contain active biostimulant compounds and also reported to hold water in the soil that aids plant growth with minimum water consumption than usually required. A. aritis being one of the most consumed leafy vegetables throughout the world can be harvested indoors with added nutrients and minimal water utilization. Methods: The field trial is a comparative evaluation of the two selected species of agarophytes for promoting plant (A. aritis) growth and the extracted agar tested for germination tests, bio-stimulatory property under water stress. Growth parameters were recorded after three weeks. The agarophytes were also qualitatively screened for phytochemicals and WD-XRF analysis. Result: The present work will be a supplementary contribution for assessing agarophytes with biostimulant properties and the characteristic agar gels that expand plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, thus constituting an alternative to synthetic plant protection products.

Published: January 2021

Background: Lentil mainly grows on residual soil moisture under rainfed conditions leading to abrupt soil moisture depletion causing mid or terminal drought stress to plants. Application of supplemental irrigation and adopting high yielding cultivars could alleviate drought stress and secure higher yield. Our present study aimed to study the growth of some promising varieties of lentil under four moisture regimes. Methods: To study the physiological responses of some promising lentil varieties under water stress, a pot experiment was performed at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal during 2018-2019. Four lentil varieties i.e. Asha, PL 6, Subrata and Ranjan were grown under four moisture stress treatments through supplying water maintaining irrigation water (IW): cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) at its 100, 75, 50 and 25%. Result: Without stress condition Asha maintained the highest RLWC of 82.6 and 66.1% during flowering and pod formation stages, respectively; while Subrata got the maximum chlorophyll content (2.82 g l-1) during flowering stage. Under no stress root length density, root surface area and root volume were experienced the maximum values in all varieties, while, average root diameter was the highest under severe stress treatment for Ranjan. Our study concluded that Asha had potential to withstand water stress but Subrata was proved to be the best variety under no stress condition.

Published: January 2021

O estudo da ergonomia envolve a verificação dos fatores que influenciam no desempenho do sistema produtivo e causam consequências aos trabalhadores. Dessa forma, procuram reduzir a fadiga, estresse, erros e acidentes proporcionando saúde, segurança e satisfação aos empregados, durante a sua interação com o sistema produtivo. Esse estudo objetivou identificar quais são as variáveis que intervém nos processos de operacionalização de sistemas complexos que utilizam os princípios da filosofia lean healthcare. A metodologia utilizada foi de natureza aplicada, com o uso de entrevistas focalizadas por meio de questionários. Os resultados do estudo apontam que os hospitais investigados possuem uma baixa implementação da filosofia lean e não há uma aferição da implementação com o aumento do nível de segurança laboral. Conclui-se que, de modo geral, a gestão hospitalar ainda está com cerne nos procedimentos operacionais e não com foco no paciente. Ademais, evidencia-se que os avanços no elo da gestão hospitalar no setor público, no sul do Brasil, são baixos e os métodos de gestão são, portanto classificados como tradicionais e/ou obsoletos.
Identidade frágil: respeito ao outro e identidade cultural
Authors: Carré Douglas , Tiellet Claudia , Rossatto Noeli Dutra
Published: January 2021

O filósofo Paul Ricoeur analisa o problema da identidade colocando a questão da memória, memoria pessoal e memória coletiva, no vai e vem entre o nível da pessoa e o da comunidade. O que torna a identidade frágil é a sua relação com o tempo e a confrontação com o outro sentida como uma ameaça. Uma violência fundadora muito sensível conduz a comportamentos em que se opõem os direitos da pessoa e a segurança institucional. Privado de sanções, o direito fica somente sob a guarda do protesto moral.
Barreiras de Acessibilidade Enfrentadas por Pessoas Surdas no Setor de Serviços: Uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura
Authors: Lopez Monica Holdorf , Griebeler Wilson Robson , Vergara Lizanda Garcia Lupi
Published: January 2021

A acessibilidade é um direito de todo o cidadão. Para muitas pessoas surdas, o acesso às atividades existentes na sociedade é garantido quando há a possibilidade de comunicação em LS.  O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os problemas de acessibilidade enfrentados pelas pessoas surdas no setor de serviços. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, a partir dos termos: deaf;"hard of hearing”; “hearing impaired”; access; inclusion; communication. Os serviços encontrados foram organizados em quatro categorias: saúde; emergência; sistema de justiça; e cultura. Constatou-se que, independentemente da situação econômica do país, todos os estudos apontaram a existência de barreiras atitudinais ou comunicacionais, tais como: a falta de conscientização das organizações a respeito das necessidades e singularidades do público surdo, a rara presença de intérpretes de LS, ou profissionais capacitados, bem como a ausência de informações sobre os serviços em LS. Com a ausência de recursos de comunicação, os surdos se deparam com três situações: (1) precisam do auxílio de um familiar ou conhecido e assim perdem sua autonomia; (2) utilizam a escrita, ou a leitura orofacial (linguagens estas que nem todos os surdos tem domínio, ou facilidade) e correm o risco de não compreenderem as informações corretamente; e (3) evitam ou desistem de acessar o serviço.

South African Christian Experiences: From colonialism to democracy
Authors: Resane Kelebogile Thomas
Published: January 2021

Theologically and historically sound, Resane’s South African Christian Experiences: From Colonialism to Democracy, envisions a robust Christianity that acknowledges itself as “a community of justified sinners” who are on an eschatological journey of conversion. This Christianity does not look away from its historical sins and participation in corruption and evils such as Apartheid. Resane argues that failing to adhere to Jesus’ teachings is not a reason for Christianity to recede from public life. Rather, doing so further pushes Christianity away from Jesus who emphatically called for the Church to engage in the liberation of society. By framing how the Christian must engage with his/her community as a component to belief – that saying must mean doing for belief to happen – Resane frames his theology as an eschatological clarion call for internal and social renewal, an interplay between the individual Christian, the communal churches of Christ, and society at large. Dr J. Sands – Northwest University “Drawing from our own wells” is a prophetic call for theologians to develop context specific liberation theologies drawn from their own contexts, history, experiences, and different types of knowledge. This book locates its loci in the historical and contemporary context in South Africa, as well as drawing from the rich legacy of liberation theologies including African, Kairos, Black, Circle and many other theologies to address contemporary issues facing South Africa. Resane’s book contributes towards enhancing the much needed local theologies of liberation based on contextual realities and knowledges. Dr Nontando Hadebe – Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians South African Christian Experiences: From Colonialism to Democracy captures the societal binaries that are part and parcel of Christianity, especially in the African context. The definition of God is also affected by these binaries, such as, is God Black or White? The book proposes both the non-binary approach, and the process of inculturation. The work also shows how not to have one theology, but different theologies, hence references and expansions on the Trinity, Pneumatology, Christology, etc. Furthermore, this work portrays Christ as seen from an African point of view, and what it means to attach African attributes to Christ, as opposed to the traditional Western understanding. Rev. Fr. Thabang Nkadimeng – History of Christianity, University of KwaZulu Natal Resane has dug deep into the history of the church in South Africa, and brought the experiences of Indigenous people and Christians, including theologians, to the attention of every reader. The author demonstrates an intense knowledge of the history of Christianity. He also portrays that there is still more to be done, both from the Christian historical perspective and the theological perspective for the church to be relevant to all the contexts in which it finds itself.

Authors: González-Sosa Mónica I. , Corella-Vargas Jose P.
Published: January 2021

En el contexto nacional y mundial, se observa muchísima inseguridad en las calles. Desde asaltos hasta secuestros, estos eventos suceden con mucha frecuencia y la mayoría de las veces las personas no tienen cómo alertar o prevenir la situación. Después de meses de ver las mismas noticias en los periódicos, se decidió desarrollar un conjunto de productos inteligentes para mejorar la situación.
Se analizó el mercado para definir la necesidad más importante de todas: poder alertar a los seres queridos y autoridades a la hora de un asalto u otra experiencia similar. A partir de esto, se desarrolló un diseño de producto con la metodología de diseñar el objeto de adentro hacia afuera. Por medio de modelado y simulaciones en 3D, se conceptualizó un conjunto de productos inteligentes para satisfacer la necesidad principal y brindarles a los usuarios una herramienta de apoyo para la situación de la inseguridad. Los productos propuestos pueden generar una nueva sensación al caminar por las calles, además de apoyar el sentido de comunidad en las personas para este tipo de casos, ya que la aplicación funciona de mejor manera si los usuarios del producto le aportan información de las calles.
Aunque el vandalismo en las calles no desaparecerá, es una manera de lograr que las personas se sientan un poco más seguras al transitar por ellas, al ser conscientes de que sus seres queridos pueden saber dónde están y si están bien, en caso de que pase algo como un asalto o secuestro. Con este diseño se propone darle un nuevo rumbo al diseño, contemplando los problemas más importantes en la actualidad.

Women Participation and Empowerment System under Government Institutions and Constitution from 1971-2020
Authors: Islam A S M Monowarul
Published: January 2021

This study focuses on the vital points of women participation and empowerment system under government institution and constitution through exploring previous hypothetical strategic women empowerment model. Women's Empowerment is one of the most challenging steps in our society. They are deprived of political leadership opportunities at all levels of the government. Their equal participation in governance and all other sectors is not only a matter of participation or democracy but also it is natural that women’s interest to be taken into account as a strong issue. For the sake of the true development of a society women’s participation in every section of life is a must. And most of the countries of the world have understood the fact that by keeping half of the population idle at home, progress is not possible and at the same time women will be deprived of their human rights. As human beings, they have equal rights like men to lead a life with dignity and they have the same potentiality to do something for the betterment of this world. Environment and facilities must be increased so that women can enhance their confidence, develop their skills and personality to play a vital role in the development of society as well as a country. Their rights must be included and preserved by the constitution of a country. In Bangladesh, the constitutional safeguard can be seen as a milestone for ensuring women's equal access and increased participation in political power structure for ensuring their participation, strengthening the government as well as for the sustainable development of Bangladesh. Undoubtedly, the elected reserve seats for women by the constitutions help to promote participation and women's access to the decision-making process. Through their participation is not practically much ensured, reserve seats promote women empowerment. But it is a matter of sorrow that, due to social, political, and cultural barriers, elected women members in government institutions cannot play their effective role. This study seeks to critically evaluate the extent of women’s political participation and empowerment under government institutions and constitution from 1971-2020.

Published: January 2021

A crise crescentemente socioambiental do sistema-mundo capitalista demanda iniciativas no sentido de ao menos mitigar os problemas socioambientais. O mercado tem apresentado alguns instrumentos como a valoração ambiental, com precificação de serviços ambientais, na direção de um mercado ambiental de serviços. O presente artigo faz inicialmente alguns apontamentos sobre os serviços ecossistêmicos, os serviços ambientais e o Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais. Em seguida, discute-se a questão das trocas desiguais globais centro-periferia, tema característico da análise de sistemas-mundo, que é enriquecido com a dimensão ambiental, notadamente envolvendo trocas energéticas. Por fim, relaciona-se o Mercado de Crédito de Carbono e as trocas desiguais, com reflexões e críticas acerca desse mercado. O objetivo do artigo é demonstrar que o Mercado de Crédito de Carbono, por um lado, têm dificuldades para ser aplicado na prática, em larga escala, e por outro lado, caso consiga êxito, resulta no problema geopolítico das trocas desiguais globais centro-periferia.

Published: January 2021

Certamente que a Geografia é uma das ciências que contribuem para explicar o mundo em que vivemos. Dentro das suas diversas ramificações a Geografia possui pesquisas que ainda não foram na sua totalidade apropriada pela sociedade; entre essas ramificações está a geomorfologia. Se desejarmos uma educação ambiental de qualidade, que realmente faça o ser humano compreender que ele é parte de todo o ambiente é fundamental o conhecimento do território em sua totalidade. Isto significa conhecer as dinâmicas de origens externas e internas que juntas estão constantemente remodelando as paisagens. Este artigo pretende mostrar como a geomorfologia pode ser utilizada para uma educação ambiental local, sendo parte do ensino nas diversas áreas do conhecimento que utiliza o meio ambiente como tema principal ou transversal para crianças e jovens.
Análise da variação temporal do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada no Parque Nacional da Serra do Gandarela em Minas Gerais utilizando imagens Landsat 8
Authors: Figueiredo Tiago Antônio
Published: January 2021

A dificuldade de monitoramento e fiscalização da efetividade das ações do plano de manejo das Unidades de Conservação é um desafio devido aos extensos territórios que representam. Este problema pode ser minimizado com o uso de geotecnologias como o sensoriamento remoto que permite conhecer a dinâmica da superfície de forma remota. Desta forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a dinâmica temporal da vegetação do Parque Nacional da Serra do Gandarela e de seu entorno entre os anos de 2014 e 2019, através do uso do índice de vegetação NDVI, com imagens do satélite  Landsat  8. Foram utilizados os softwares ArcGis na versão 10.5 e QGIS 2.18.0 para tratamento da imagem e cálculo e classificação do NDVI. Ao analisar os resultados produzidos, observou-se aumento na densidade da vegetação na área de estudo após a criação do parque, as regiões de vegetação densa aumentaram suas áreas em 5,5% e as áreas com algum tipo de ação antrópica ou solo exposto obtiveram perda de área de 1,4%. Foi possível verificar que a criação do parque contribuiu para a conservação dos recursos naturais da região de estudo e que as ferramentas de geoprocessamento são eficazes no processo de monitoramento da dinâmica da vegetação.

Os perigos da urbanização de áreas de risco: um olhar para a ocupação do bairro Parque Rodoviário na cidade de Teresina, em Piauí
Authors: Melo Erisson Cruz de
Published: January 2021

O processo de antropização isento de um planejamento eficiente costuma causar problemas para o ambiente, acarretando instabilidades nos ecossistemas e, por consequência, trazendo problemas para a população. Em Teresina (PI), no mês de abril de 2019, um muro que represava águas de um clube abandonado rompeu, vitimando fatalmente duas pessoas e desabrigando dezenas. O objetivo do projeto foi evidenciar os perigos decorrentes do processo de ocupação de áreas de risco, bem como os fatores que a motivam. Foram feitas pesquisas em documentos e em artigos relacionados aos temas de urbanização e de áreas de risco, com acompanhamento de matérias em portais de notícia da cidade. Além disso, foi realizada uma visita técnica ao local do ocorrido com o intuito de obter o relato de algum morador. Por fim, pode-se entender que a apropriação de zonas ambientalmente frágeis impacta diretamente o ambiente, tendo como resultados problemas econômicos e sociais.

Pedagogia da “qualicidade”: imersão na metodologia ativa sob a perspectiva da classe trabalhadora
Authors: Moraes Andrade Cláudio Adão
Published: January 2021

Este trabalho é uma interlocução entre ensino fundamental e ensino médio integrado. Foi desenvolvido a partir da percepção da necessidade de construir uma perspectiva territorial em que cada segmento assuma a responsabilidade de preparar os estudantes para operar no nível de complexidade que a etapa seguinte demanda. O presente artigo aborda um projeto piloto em que foi aplicada metodologia ativa durante dois anos acompanhando a mesma turma no 4° e 5° anos do ensino fundamental da rede pública municipal. Os pressupostos epistemológicos diferenciados permitiram ressignificar o espaço e a relação formativa proporcionando enraizamento, identificação, desenvolvimento de competências e volição. Partindo do lugar da prole da classe trabalhadora, a experiência comprovou que é possível atuar no sistema de educaçãoformal sem reproduzir o modelo de desigualdades condicionadas por estruturas pedagógicas que marginalizam exigindo que o estudante se adapte a ela ao invés dela retratar a singularidade dos contextos. Sintetizado pelo neologismo, “qualicidade”, a experiência demonstrou ser viável a gênese de uma escola em que a formação de qualidade, por ser integral, configura um processo de cultivo de felicidade individual e coletiva.

Published: January 2021

Searching, recognizing and retrieving a video of interest from a large collection of a video data is an instantaneous requirement. This requirement has been recognized as an active area of research in computer vision, machine learning and pattern recognition. Flower video recognition and retrieval is vital in the field of floriculture and horticulture. In this paper we propose a model for the retrieval of videos of flowers. Initially, videos are represented with keyframes and flowers in keyframes are segmented from their background. Then, the model is analysed by features extracted from flower regions of the keyframe. A Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is adapted for the extraction of discriminating features. Multiclass Support Vector Machine (MSVM) classifier is applied to identify the class of the query video. Experiments have been conducted on relatively large dataset of our own, consisting of 7788 videos of 30 different species of flowers captured from three different devices. Generally, retrieval of flower videos is addressed by the use of a query video consisting of a flower of a single species. In this work we made an attempt to develop a system consisting of retrieval of similar videos for a query video consisting of flowers of different species.
Phylogenetic and Expression Analysis of CENH3 and APOLLO Genes in Sexual and Apomictic Boechera Species
Authors: Bakin Evgeny , Sezer Fatih , Kilic Irem , Özbilen Aslıhan , Rayko Mike , Taskin Kemal Melih , Brukhin Vladimir
Published: January 2021

Apomictic plants (reproducing via asexual seeds), unlike sexual individuals, avoid meiosis and egg cell fertilization. Consequently, apomixis is very important for fixing maternal genotypes in the next plant generations. Despite the progress in the study of apomixis, molecular and genetic regulation of the latter remains poorly understood. So far APOLLO (Aspartate Glutamate Aspartate Aspartate histidine exonuclease) is the only described gene associated with apomixis in Boechera species. The centromere-specific histone H3 variant encoded by CENH3 gene is essential for cell division. Mutations in CENH3 disrupt chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis since the attachment of spindle microtubules to a mutated form of the CENH3 histone fails. This paper presents in silico characteristic of APOLLO and CENH3 genes, which may affect apomixis. Also, in this research we characterize the structure of CENH3, study expression levels of CENH3 and APOLLO in gynoecium/siliques of the natural diploid apomictic and sexual Boechera species at the stages of before and after fertilization. At the premeiotic stage, the expression level of CENH3 in the gynoecium of apomicts was two times lower than that of the sexual Boechera, it decreased in both species by the time of meiosis and increased after fertilization. By 1 DAP CENH3 expression started dropping in sexual B. stricta siliques and kept increasing in apomictic B. divaricarpa ones. That might indicate to a role of CENH3 in apomictic development in Boechera species. The expression levels of APOLLO also sharply decreased by the time of meiosis in gynoecium of both species; however, by 3 DAP, the level of APOLLO expression in siliques of apomicts was almost 1.5 times higher than that of the sexuals. While CENH3 was a single copy gene in all Boechera species, the APOLLO gene have several polymorphic alleles associated with sexual and apomictic reproduction in the Boechera genera. We also discuss polymorphism and phylogeny of the APOLLO and CENH3 genes.
The New Institutional Economic Approach to Land Development Game: Integrating Transaction Cost and Efficient Institutional Framework in Synergic Urban Land Use-Transport Development Model
Authors: Das Anutosh
Published: January 2021

Land and property development process include a series of multifaceted activities ranging from purchasing to converting it for development purposes and everything in between. The process itself encompasses multiple stakeholders, drivers, and contributions from diversified public and private actors and transaction cost arises out of their complex interaction. Transaction costs incurred during any kind of human interactions (i.e. transactions). Every actor involved in the process wishes to maximize his achievement under various constraints and hence institutional arrangement (i.e. set of humanly devised rules to administer the constraints) is necessary for efficient management of the development process. Therefore, to devise an optimum outcome out of economic and social transactions in the property development process, cooperative and competitive relationships between individuals should be understood from a broader socio-political and governance structure. In this research, it is critically argued that land and property development process should implicate a multifaceted set of formal and informal rules or institutional arrangement to govern the intrinsic interaction, action and thereby reducing the related transaction cost. The argument is further reproachfully evaluated and implicated in the urban development process through the myopic lens of Transit-oriented development (TOD) pathway. A vigilant combination of descriptive and explanatory research approach is adopted to analyze the connection between theory and practice.

Mental health and emotional responses to the effects of COVID-19 lockdown in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are of serious public health concern and may negatively affect the mental health status of people. Hence, this study assessed the prevalence of mental health symptoms as well as emotional reactions among sub-Saharan Africans (SSAs) and associated factors among SSAs during the COVID-19 lockdown period. This was a web-based cross-sectional, a study on mental health and emotional features from 2005 respondents in seven SSA countries. This study was conducted between April 27 and May 17, 2020 corresponding to the lockdown period in most SSA countries. Respondents aged 18 years and above and the self-reported symptoms were feeling anxious, being worried, angry, bored and frustrated. These were the main outcomes and were treated as dichotomous variables. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with these symptoms. We found that over half (52.2%) of the participants reported any of the mental health symptoms in SSA and the prevalence of feeling bored was 70.5% followed by feeling anxious (59.1%), being worried (57.5%), frustrated (51.5%) and angry (22.3%) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multivariate analysis revealed that males, those aged >28 years, Central and Southern Africans, those who were not married, the unemployed, those living with more than six persons in a household, had higher odds of mental health and emotional symptoms. Similarly, people who perceived low risk of contracting the infection, and those who thought the pandemic would not continue after the lockdown had higher odds of mental health and emotional symptoms. Health care workers had lower odds for feeling angry than non-healthcare workers. During COVID-19 lockdown periods in SSA, about one in two participants reported mental health and emotional symptoms. Public health measures can be effectively used to identify target groups for prevention and treatment of mental health and emotional symptoms. Such interventions should be an integral component of SSA governments’ response and recovery strategies of any future pandemic.

In this paper, a non-destructive test to diagnose wear of blade´s compressor of a gas turbine is reported. Gas turbine was operating in Campeche City, Mexico, in a very aggressive environment, where the entry of solid particles is unavoidable. The objective was to reduce cost of maintenance in this equipment. Analysis on a blade of gas turbine was performed, which was in operation on an offshore platform. Compressor blade was exposed to a severe damage by the impact of particles and environmental pollutants such as salts, sands and sulphurs. In first stage of this analysis, a visual inspection with a borescope was performed, which has the ability to illuminate dark internal areas, with a bright light for visual examination and/or make a photographic reproduction in semi-annual maintenance cycles. Images analysis was used to determine the typical failure modes. In a second stage, a tribological characterization was carried out. Chemical composition of the material of blades was obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to measure roughness and evaluate degradation of surfaces of blades after 30,000 service hours. The points, where peak stresses were calculated, correspond to those places in witch corrosion and some irregular scratches similar to plowing action, was observed. These are the points in which failures take place. Results showed wear modes were originated by a severe stinging action. Also, large craters, similar to those observed in solid particle erosion, were developed by at normal impact. In the same way it could be found some localized areas with a witch corrosion and irregular scratches similar to plowing action, was observed. These are the points in which failures take place.

Given the high levels of overall volume of alcohol use, detrimental drinking patterns, and high levels of alcohol-attributable mortality and burden of disease, Lithuania implemented a series of alcohol control policies within a relatively short period of time (2008 to 2019). Based on their expected impact on alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable harm, as well as their target population, the respective policies were classified using a set of objective criteria and expert opin-ion. The classification criteria included: positive vs. negative outcomes, mainly immediate versus delayed outcomes, and general population versus specific group outcomes. The judgement of the alcohol policy experts converged on the objective criteria, and, as a result, two tiers of inter-vention were identified: Tier 1 – general population interventions with an anticipated immediate impact; Tier 2 – other interventions aimed at the general population. In addition, interventions for specific populations were identified. This adaptable methodological approach to alcohol control policy classification is intended to provide guidance and support the evaluation of alcohol policies elsewhere, lay the foundation for the critical assessment of the respective policies to im-prove health and increase life expectancy, and to reduce crime and violence.

Published: January 2021

The paper presents new data on mineralogical-geochemical peculiarities of the granites and pegmatites of the Baikal area (Olkhon Region) with implications for the age, generation conditions and geodynamic settings of magmatism. The early Paleozoic granitoids of the Olkhon region are syncollisional formations produced from the gneiss-schistose substratum of the Olkhon metamorphic sequences. Pegmatoid granites and pegmatites of the Region were generated within a wide age range (458-390 Ma) and include different mineralogical and geochemical types. Amongst the Early Paleozoic granitoids, pegmatoid rocks are products of the collisional magmatism evolution and are similar to granites in terms of the mineral composition and distribution patterns of rare and rare earth elements. On the Olkhon island (Baikal lake) the pegmatite of the Tashkiney vein belong to the Be-Nb-Ta mineralogical-geochemical type demonstrating high contents of W, Sn U, Th and very low concentrations of Li and volatile components (F, B). In the Pryolkhonye area, vein pegmatite Iliksin is with Li, Be, Nb, Ta mineralization (lepidolite, vorobyevite, samarskite et al). The studied pegmatite veins are similar both by the profound negative Ba, Sr, Eu, and Zr anomalies. The zircons from the Tashkiney vein (390±5.0 Ma) and of the Iliksin vein (430.1±2.2 Ma, U-Pb isotope LA ICP MS metod) indicate the formation of pegmatite at the late post-collisional stage of magmatism in the Olkhon Region. As regard to mineralogical and geochemical characteristics, vein pegmatites with amazonite (Ainsky and Ulan-Nur) belong to the Li-F type. The tantalum mineralization, represented by microlites and minerals of the columbite-tantalite group is associated with the Ainsky amazonite pegmatite. As opposed to the Early Paleozoic syncollisional granitoids and pegmatoid formations, the middle Paleozoic vein bodies of pegmatites (Tashkiney, Iliksin, Ainsky, Ulan-Nur) are regarded as rare-metal pegmatites. In terms of geochemical characteristics, they are similar to the rare-metal pegmatoid granites and pegmatites of the intra-plate setting widespread in Mongolia and Transbaikalia. The rare-metal mineralization in the Olkhon region may be genetically related to the evolution of Be-Nb-Ta and Li-F types of the post-collisional granites and pegmatites.
