Looking back, looking forward
Authors: Barndt Deborah
Published: December 2021

The Earth to Tables Legacies Project emerged in 2015, growing out of personal relationships, but also built on a long trajectory of participatory research, multimedia arts production and popular education. We created an intergenerational and intercultural exchange of food activists working for food justice and food sovereignty with the initial goal of producing a feature length documentary. However, the project evolved over five years to culminate in a multimedia educational package with 10 short videos and 11 photo essays, all accompanied by facilitator’s guides. A web series on the pandemic is in production and a forthcoming book is to be published in 2021.

 

The intergenerational production team included Deborah Barndt (co-director and co-editor), Lauren Baker (co-editor) and Alexandra Gelis (co-director). In this ‘report from the field,’ the two co-directors Alexandra and Deborah look back on the process of co-producing the visual materials for the interactive website and look forward to its potential use in university classes, schools, and social and environmental justice organizations. Parts of the essay include our zoom dialogue as we revisit our process over the past five years and try to elucidate our way of working, while reflecting on the challenges of the collaborative production and use of multimedia educational tools.

 

Note that this essay utilizes the same kind of text with hyperlinks that are featured in our website and book. The reader is encouraged to click on the links to learn more about the people and their practices as well as the concept of a non-linear multimedia educational tool and process.
state of post-secondary food studies pedagogy in Canada
Authors: Stephens Phoebe , Hinton Lucy
Published: December 2021

To date, there has been little empirical research on how food studies pedagogy has developed in Canada. Yet, across Canada, more and more postsecondary institutions are offering food studies in formalized programs and individual courses to undergraduate students. This paper contributes to the literature on food studies pedagogy by gathering insights from interviews with key faculty in food studies undergraduate programs at Canadian higher education institutions, and other food studies scholars in Canada. The purpose of this empirical research is to provide clarity regarding the ways that food studies programs are conceptualized and taught to better understand the evolution and future course of food studies pedagogy. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken to explore the normative commitments and philosophical underpinnings of food studies programs; various ways that scholars scope food studies; and challenges faced by food studies programs. We found that food studies programs in higher education in Canada and their associated pedagogy do not have a set of fixed attributes, but they do share common threads. Transformation is a defining characteristic of food studies and its pedagogy and puts critical thinking at the core of how food studies are taught in Canada at the undergraduate level. Interviewees also emphasized the importance of moving beyond critique towards solutions in their teaching to facilitate a transition towards more socially and ecologically just food systems.
ADHD and DIRAS Single Nucleotide Polymorphism as an Indicator of Prolonged Concussion Recovery
Authors: Kenney Taziah , McDevitt Jane
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the presence of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs1412005) within DIRAS2 (i.e., a gene associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and prolonged recovery following a sport-related concussion. A case-control study design was implemented, where cases and controls were selected from a cohort of 117 deidentified concussed athletes. Eleven samples from this patient cohort self-reported ADHD diagnosis and were age and sex-matched to 22 participants with no self-reported ADHD diagnoses. The average recovery times were 21.50 + 13.96 days and 15.66 + 8.50 days for the case and control groups, respectively. The authors found that only 13.6% of the individuals without an ADHD diagnosis recovered in > 30 days (p = 0.044). Also, the authors found that 72.7% of the carriers of the T allele (i.e., minor allele) recovered in greater than 30 days (p = 0.213).  Researchers concluded that individuals with ADHD had a higher risk of prolonged concussion recovery lasting greater than 30 days. Also, carrying the rare allele was associated with prolonged recovery, which suggests this SNP could be a potential genetic marker for both prolonged concussion recovery and the presence of ADHD.
Social media use and physical activity participation in college students: An exploratory analysis
Authors: Amanda Folk  , Sara Kovacs
Published: December 2021

Social media has become a part of a college student’s environment, highlighting the importance of investigating the role that social media may play in PA participation and other health behaviors.

Purpose: To describe social media use and physical activity (PA) participation in a sample of college students and explore relationships between social media and PA, including health and fitness social media.

Methods: College students (age 18-29 years) enrolled at a four-year university completed an online questionnaire regarding self-reported social media use and PA participation. Independent sample t-tests were used to compare PA outcomes between those that follow health and fitness accounts and those who do not. A multiple linear regression model was used to examine associations between social media use and PA.

Results: Two hundred and ninety-two students completed the questionnaire (63.72% female, 63.61% white, BMI 24.14±4.25 kg/m2). There was no difference in PA participation between those that do and do not follow health and fitness social media in moderate (p=0.17) or vigorous intensity PA (p=1.0) when controlling for confounding variables. Spending 1-2 hours/day (p=0.02) or 3-4 hours/day (p=0.01) on social media compared to <1 hour/day and accessing social media in the evening (p=0.04) are associated with lower moderate PA.

Conclusions: Following health and fitness social media may not have the intended impact on college student PA. Further research needs to be done to assess the most effective and impactful strategies for content delivery via social media to increase PA behavior.
Das (neue) Bilanzrecht der Wertpapierinstitute
Authors: Gaber Christian
Published: December 2021

Zur Umsetzung europäischer Vorgaben klassifiziert der deutsche Gesetzgeber bestimmte Finanzdienstleister seit Inkrafttreten des „Gesetzes zur Umsetzung der Richtlinie (EU) 2019/2034 über die Beaufsichtigung der Wertpapierinstitute“ nunmehr als Wertpapierinstitute. Diese haben – wie bereits nach alter Rechtslage – das für Kredit- und Finanzdienstleistungsinstitute geltende Bilanzrecht zu beachten. Ein näherer Blick offenbar gesetzgeberische Umsetzungsschwächen. Der Beitrag zeigt Publizitätslücken im Bilanzrecht von Zweigniederlassungen sowie eine inkonsistente Umsetzung des Gebots zur Saldierung des Eigenhandelserfolgs auf. Zudem zeigen sich Schwächen im Prüfungsrecht der Wertpapierinstitute. Anders als bei Kredit- und Finanzdienstleistungsinstituten kann die Finanzaufsicht bei bestimmten Wertpapierinstituten eine Rotation des Abschlussprüfers nach 10 Jahren nicht verlangen.
Determinants of Savings in Urban and Rural Households: Case of South Africa
Authors: ZWANE T.
Published: December 2021

Savings have been described as a significant fi nancial and economic matter and represent an essential driving force of economic growth and development. Despite this, many studies investigating the determinants of savings in South Africa have looked predominantly at the drivers of savings only at a national level, without focusing on urban and rural differences. This is critical as these localities are structurally different, with different characteristics. It is, therefore, likely that the determinants of savings in these unique geographical localities would differ, given the negative impact of past policies of marginalisation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the urban-rural disparities in savings for South African households. We used data sourced from the five waves of the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) observed from 2008-2017. The novelty of this study is in its application of a novel two-stage least square estimation technique which addresses possible endogeneity problems which might have plagued previous studies in this field. It was concluded from the research that the determinants of savings are different across samples (urban and rural). We found that having access to land is an important predictor of savings in rural areas where the poor live (positive and significant), but the coefficient is not significant in the urban sample. Although there was a positive correlation between income and savings across samples, but the income impact on savings is higher in absolute values for households residing in rural areas, compared to household living in urban areas. We also found that, despite the coefficient of employment being similar in the direction of the impact (positive and significant) across the samples, the magnitude of the coefficient was stronger in the rural sample. Based on the higher magnitude of the coefficient, we found that household size has more effect in urban than rural areas. The study recommends that government should design and implement policies that foster job creation, even low-skilled jobs, which will generate more income and reduce unemployment.

Published: December 2021

The book presents the recent achievements in the use of renewable energy sources, chemical processes, biomaterials for the efficient production of hydrogen, its storage and use as a fuel in the FC-based power systems. Novel results were obtained within two research programs, namely, the NATO Science for Peace G5233 project “Portable Energy Supply” (2017-21) and the priority program of the NAS of Ukraine "Development of scientific principles of the production, storage and use of hydrogen in autonomous energy systems" (2019-21). The priority program was implemented by the leading institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and contained three focus areas: efficient materials and technologies for the production, storage and use of hydrogen. This includes the development of new functional materials for the fuel cells and the application of the latter in autonomous power supply systems. 4-years NATO's project was implemented by a consortium led by the Institute for Energy Technology (Coordinator; NATO country - Norway) together with the institutes from the NATO partner country – Ukraine – belonging to the NAS of Ukraine: Physico-Mechanical Institute, Institute for Problems of Materials Science and Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry. The work included the studies of H2 generation by the hydrolysis of MgH2, Al and NaBH4, analysis of the mechanisms of these processes and selection of the most efficient catalyzers. The project successfully developed a system integrating hydrolysis process and a PEM fuel cell.

Magnesium hydride (MgH2) has a high hydrogen storage capacity (7.6 wt%) and the Mg element is abundant on the earth. Due to its strong reduction ability, even at room temperature it can provide the hydrogen yield reaching 15.2 wt% H (1703 mL/g) when interacting with water, which makes it very attractive for the application in supplying hydrogen for autonomous H energy systems. However, the hydrolysis reaction is rapidly inhibited by the Mg(OH)2 passivation layer formed on the surface of MgH2. In order to remove the passivation film and improve the efficiency of the MgH2 hydrolysis process, several methods including alloying, ball milling, changing the aqueous solution, have been successfully utilized. In this paper the process of hydrolysis of magnesium hydride in aqueous solutions of MgCl2 used as a promotor of the interaction has been studied in detail. It was found that the initial hydrolysis rate, pH of the reaction mixture, and overall reaction yield are all linearly dependent of the logarithm of MgCl2 concentration. It has been shown that pH of the reaction mixture in the presence of MgCl2 is well described by considering a system “weak base and its salt with strong acid” type buffer solution. Reference data for this hydrolysis reaction were also carefully analyzed. The mechanism and the kinetic model of the process of MgH2 hydrolysis in water solutions involved passivation of the MgH2 surface by the formed Mg(OH)2 precipitate followed by its repassivation have been proposed. The obtained after the hydrolysis reactions precipitates were studied using XRD and EDS. It was found also that the final products of reaction consist of Mg(OH)2 (brucsite type) and remaining MgH2. This fact shows that the formation of solid species such as MgCl2 xMgO yH2O at the studied conditions is unlikely and decreasing of pH the reaction mixture has a different nature.

Today, hydrogen is considered as an ideal choice for storing and carrying energy produced by renewable power sources since it is renewable, eco-friendly and has a high energy density. However, due to the low hydrogen storage capacity, high cost and safety issues of the conventional storage methods, several challenges need to be resolved to effectively use hydrogen in mobile applications. Solid-state hydrogen storage in atomic form in hydrides is a promising method of storage for this purpose, particularly because a double amount of hydrogen can be produced via hydrolysis reaction of chemically active hydrides. Among the metal hydrides, magnesium hydride (MgH2) is considered to be one of the most attractive candidates. However, the hydrolysis reaction is rapidly hindered by the passivation layer formed on the surface of MgH2. In order to improve MgH2 hydrolysis efficiency various approaches have been applied. This paper reviews recent progress on the modifications of MgH2-based materials by adding different type of additives, including metals, oxides, hydroxides, halides and surfactants. The introduced additives possess different catalytic properties due to their intrinsic physical and chemical characteristics, and therefore can strongly influence the hydrolysis reaction of MgH2. The most promising results were obtained for various salt additives showing that the reaction rate depends mostly on the additive type rather than on concentration. The effect of preparation technique on the hydrolysis of MgH2 – MgCl2 composites was studied in detail. The obtained results indicate that efficient hydrolysis performance can be achieved by ball milling of the freshly synthesized MgH2 with 5 wt.% MgCl2 and 1 wt.% TiC–2TiB2 additives. The combination of the applied approaches exhibited a notable synergistic effect on the hydrogen generation.
The Problem of Ukrainian-Polish Coexistence in the Ukrainian Conservative Political Thought of the Interwar Period: Lypynskyi Versus Tomashivskyi in the Framework of Epoch
Authors:   M.S. Hrushevskyi Institute of Ukrainian Archaeography and Source Studies, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Potulnytskyi Volodymyr
Published: December 2021

While studying Polish-Ukrainian relations, outstanding Ukrainian conservative thinkers, namely Vjacheslav Lypynskyi and Stepan Tomashivskyi, focused mainly on the problem of distinguishing the role of Poland in the history of the Ukrainian people and on the issue of orientation towards Poland as a factor in the emergence of the Ukrainian state. The role of Poland in the history of the Ukrainian people, according to conservatives, was twofold. On the one hand, it was Poland that paved the way for Ukraine to Europeanization, providing examples of state-style literature and culture. This constructive role of Poland was especially fruitful in comparison with the Asian influences of Moscow. In this context, the conservatives emphasized that these were the Poles who played a key role in the process of separating Ukrainians from Russia, promoting the rise and establishment of the Cossacks and the Hetmanate, as well as creating the very name “Ukraine”. Conversely, the conservatives negatively assessed the Treaty of Hadiach for Ukraine, which, in their opinion, was very rational, on the one hand, and contributed, on the other hand, to the extermination of the elite and aristocratic democracy, and which disorganized the nobility and made it republican by eliminating its chivalrous essence and adding destructive anarchism instead. The conservatives also sharply assessed the Treaty of Warsaw between Petliura and Pilsudski. Simultaneously, Ukrainian monarchists did not consider Poland a force that could play a role in the creation of the Ukrainian state, although they considered the territorial autonomy of Halychyna under Poland as the first stage in educating the citizens of Western Ukraine in the spirit of the state monarchical idea. They took the position of mutual understanding between Ukrainian conservatives and Halychyna Poles in achieving the autonomy of Ukrainian lands under Poland, although they condemned the concept of a federation of Poland and Ukraine in Halychyna under the conditions put forward by Halychyna Ukrainian National Democrats. Conservatives considered such a strategy doomed to failure without the creation of a conservative territorial group in Halychyna composed of local Poles and Ukrainians. Relying heavily on local Poles not affiliated with metropolitan Warsaw, they placed the main emphasis on the internal organization of the monarchists rather than on external allies, including Poland
The 1956 Hungarian Revolution Echoes in Poland
Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Antypova Olena
Published: December 2021

The article highlights the reaction of Polish society and government to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. It is emphasized that the history of Poland and Hungary was closely intertwined in 1956 and reflected in the course of political events of that time. Poznan workers' uprising in June 1956 caused a great resonance in Hungary and the Hungarian authorities intended to use the events in Poznan as a pretext for resolving the political crisis in Hungary. Hungarian protesters, expressing solidarity with the Polish people and supporting change in Poland, demanded a "Hungarian path to socialism". The Hungarian revolution, which had a bloody and tragic character, had a lively response in Polish society. The activity of Polish information publications and the ways in which information about the Hungarian revolution reached Poland are described. It is emphasized that the speeches and publications of journalists had a significant impact on the attitude of Polish society to the Hungarian Revolution. The activity of the new Polish government in search of like-minded people and allies among the countries of "people's democracy" is analyzed. It is noted that the Polish leader V. Gomulka, proclaiming the "Polish road to socialism", took into account the analogies and similarities between the events and changes that took place in Poland and Hungary. The Polish authorities realised the catastrophe from which their country and the party, which managed to resolve the socio-political crisis in a bloodless way, escaped. Gomulka was convinced that only by resolving the Polish-Soviet problems it was possible to avoid a repeat of Poznan and Budapest. The process of providing humanitarian aid to Hungary by Poland is analyzed. It is noted that the greatest assistance to the Hungarians during the revolution was provided by Poland. The position of the radio station "Free Europe" and the editorial board of "Voice of Free Poland" is revealed. It is noted that the RWE editorial board felt responsible for the accuracy of the information provided, and deeply understood the impact of its broadcasts on the mood of Polish society. It is emphasized that the events of 1956 in Poland and Hungary marked the beginning of the collapse of pro-Soviet totalitarian regimes in Europe
Margaret Thatcher's Vision on the Russian Factor in the International Relations System (Late Twentieth – Early Twenty-First Century)
Authors:   National Pedagogical Dragomanov University, Cherevko Oksana
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the memoirs and scientific legacy of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during 1979-1990 Margaret Thatcher on the role of the USSR and Russia in the international relations system of the last third of the 20th ─ early 21st century. The evolution of Soviet/Russian-British relations in the active phase of the Cold War and its gradual extinction is studied: from the categorical rejection of the Soviet political regime at a time of stagnation to the establishment of active dialogue during the period of rebuilding and Gorbachev's "new political thinking". The paper focuses on the predictions of a respected British politician regarding Russia's role in the future of Europe and the world. The role of the nuclear factor in the implementation of Soviet-British relations is analyzed. The process of implementation of the "German question" through the prism of these relations is considered. The role of the United States as an important factor influencing the course of the Soviet/Russian-British dialogue is defined, in particular in the context of NATO's role, operation “Desert Storm”. The paper describes the main problems of Europe and the world, exacerbated during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of interpersonal relations between Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev and the characteristics of his successors as leader of the state: Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin
Public Resistance in the National Liberation Movement of Poles in Right-Bank Ukraine in the First Half of the 1860s (From the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine, Kyiv)
Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ivanenko Oksana
Published: December 2021

The article covers important manifestations and specifics of the protest culture of the Polish community within the South-Western region of the Russian Empire in the first half of the 1860s on the basis of analysis and synthesis of information from the documents of "Office of Kyiv, Podillya and Volyn Governor-General" (f.442) and "Office of the trustee of the Kiev school district" (f.707) of the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine (Kyiv). Defending one's own cultural identity as a driver of national development is connected with the awareness of the political interests and goals of the liberation struggle of Poles. The unique influence of the Polish question on historical processes, the configuration of international relations in Europe during the "long 19th century" determines the relevance and scientific significance of the study and thinking of the history of Polish national and cultural movement. Comprehensive study of the Polish question in the European history of the 19th century is an important part of the scientific perception of interethnic contradictions and antagonisms in the Russian Empire and the reaction of European diplomacy and public opinion, a deeper understanding of the essence of Russian-Polish cultural and civilizational confrontation and its impact on Ukrainian national life. Following the three partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772, 1793, 1795) most of the territories of this formerly powerful European state were incorporated into the Russian Empire, there was a fierce struggle for cultural and ideological dominance in the region. The Polish national liberation movement of the 1860s, which culminated in the January Uprising of 1863-1864, developed against a background of broad social and cultural resistance to Russian autocracy, manifested in such protest actions as mourning and serving panikhads for dead Poles, singing patriotic Polish songs and hymns, public wearing of national costumes, participation in anti-government manifestations and demonstrations, refusal to read prayers for the emperor in churches, and so on. Clergy and educators, as well as students and pupils, were the driving force behind this protest movement, which had an international resonance

Published: December 2021

The article covers the introduction of Yiddish publishing activities, initiated by the Jewish civic and cultural-educational organization “Kultur-Lige” in the period from 1918 to 1931. The research analyzes the historical context and preconditions of the organization beginning in the 19th century. Among the main preconditions, the author highlights the rapid modernization of Eastern European Jewry, the proclamation of Yiddish as one of the many national languages at the inter-party conference on Yiddish in Chernivtsi in 1908, and the revolutionary events of the first half of the twentieth century. In addition, the article encloses the concept of secular Jewish culture proposed by members of the Kultur-Lige and ways of its implementation through printed Yiddish-language products, the main "marketplaces" of Yiddish textbooks, teaching materials, fiction, periodicals. The article analyzes the printed products of the Kultur-Lige, after preliminary structuring and systematization of publications by category: the sources were divided into a layer of textbooks, teaching and learning materials, children's books, and fiction. The authors of the educational books, textbooks, and books for children were usually young Jewish writers and members of the Literature section of Kultur-Lige. The main consumer of such Yiddish books were the educational institutions established by the Kultur-Lige. Specifically, the Jewish public Yiddish schools, public libraries, and reading rooms, as well as Jewish Public University. Educational institutions organized by Kultur-Lige provided education for all categories of the Jewish community. The article also includes some information about the book design of Kultur-Lige artists. Among the illustrators was Mark Chagall, Sara Shor, Eliezer Lissitzky, Joseph Chaikov, Mark Epstein, etc. This organization provided unique opportunities to implement their artistic idea in the area of book illustrations. Besides that, the article includes information about the print run of some books and the financial sources of the publishing section

Authors:   the Institute of History of Ukraine, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ivanenko Oksana
Published: December 2021

The paper presents a content review of “the International Relations of Ukraine: Scientific Searches and Findings” (issues 1-29 from 1991 to 2020). The author highlights that after Ukraine regained its independence in 1991, a wide network of Ukrainian periodicals in the humanities was established. These periodicals perform an important coordinating function, accumulate the efforts of authors, editors and reviewers from different regions of Ukraine and foreign countries and unite them into united teams, as well as reflect trends in scientific development, provide an opportunity to discuss topical issues, influence the dynamics of conceptual updating of socio-humanitarian disciplines in Ukraine. In 1991, the first specialised periodical on world history in independent Ukraine – the Yearbook "International Relations of Ukraine: Scientific Searches and Findings" – was created. The purpose of this Yearbook is to coordinate research carried out by representatives of "the Historical European Studies" Ukrainian academic school. The founders of this school are corresponding members of the NAS of Ukraine F.P. Shevchenko (1914-1995), I.M. Mel'nykova (1918-2010) and P.S. Sokhan' (1926-2013). Since 1991, corresponding member of the NAS of Ukraine S.V. Vidnyanskyj heads the Department of World History and International Relations (since 2012 the Department of the History of International Relations and Foreign Policy of Ukraine) and leads the aforementioned academic school. In general, the papers published in “the International Relations of Ukraine: Scientific Searches and Findings” from 1991 to 2020 contribute to the reconstruction of a broad panorama of international relations in the lands of Ukraine from the times of Kyivan Rus' until the early 21st century. During its almost thirty-year history, the Yearbook has become an influential periodical of Central and Eastern Europe, contributing to the coordination of fundamental research on world history and the understanding of key issues in world history and Ukraine's place in it

Published: December 2021

Introducción: La articulación sacroilíaca es el origen del dolor en el 10-25% de los pacientes con lumbalgia mecánica. Si no hay traumatismos, tumores, enfermedades metabólicas ni colagenopatías, su papel en la fisiopatología del dolor lumbar aún no está completamente dilucidado. El objetivo fue estudiar la anatomía sagital de la pelvis a través de la medición de la incidencia pélvica en pacientes con dolor sacroilíaco en el ámbito laboral frente a personas asintomáticas.
Materiales y Métodos: Estudio analítico, observacional, retrospectivo de pacientes con dolor sacroilíaco diagnosticados mediante un bloqueo guiado por tomografía computarizada en un centro de patología laboral, entre enero de 2015 y diciembre de 2018. El grupo de comparación fue una muestra aleatoria de personas sin enfermedad de la pelvis o lumbosacra estudiados con tomografía computarizada de pelvis y columna durante el mismo período.
Resultados: La incidencia pélvica media en pacientes con dolor sacroilíaco fue de 52,57 (DE 9) y 46,52 (DE 9) en el grupo de personas sanas. La diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa con valores mayores de incidencia pélvica en pacientes con dolor sacroilíaco (p 0,042).
Conclusión: Los pacientes con dolor sacroilíaco presentaron una mayor incidencia pélvica que las personas sanas, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en nuestro estudio.

BACKGROUND

Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at increased risk for bloodstream infections (BSIs), mainly because of functional asplenia. Immunizations and antibiotic prophylaxis have reduced the prevalence of invasive bacterial infections, but contemporary analysis of BSI in children with SCD is limited.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children aged <18 years with SCD who had blood cultures collected at our institution from 2010 to 2019 to identify BSI. Probable contaminant organisms were identified and not included as BSI. We calculated the annual incidence of BSI at our institution with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and used multivariate logistic regression to evaluate associations.

RESULTS

There were 2694 eligible patients with 19 902 blood cultures. Excluding repeated cultures and contaminant cultures, there were 156 BSI episodes in 144 patients. The median age at BSI was 7.5 years. The average incidence rate of BSI was 0.89 per 100 person-years (95% CI 0.45–1.32). The most common pathogens were Streptococcus pneumoniae (16.0%), Streptococcus viridans group (9.0%), Escherichia coli (9.0%), Staphylococcus aureus (7.7%), Bordetella holmesii (7.7%), Haemophilus influenzae (7.1%), and Salmonella species (6.4%). Odds of BSI were higher with sickle cell anemia genotypes (odds ratio [OR] 1.88; 95% CI 1.20–2.94) and chronic transfusions (OR 2.66; 95% CI 1.51–4.69) and lower with hydroxyurea (OR 0.57; 95% CI 0.39–0.84).

CONCLUSIONS

BSI remains a risk for children with SCD. Overall incidence, risk factors, and spectrum of pathogens are important considerations to guide prevention and empirical treatment of suspected infection in SCD.
A quebra do silêncio

Neste artigo, discutimos a invisibilidade da história dos trabalhadores da região salineira do Rio Grande do Norte, especialmente de Mossoró. A gestão municipal reproduz, nos espaços públicos e em eventos, um enaltecimento de fatos em que as elites locais são protagonistas. Em detrimento disso, outros fatos são “esquecidos”, a exemplo da organização e da mobilização dos trabalhadores das salinas em princípios do século XX. Por meio de uma proposta didático/ pedagógica, trouxemos essa discussão para a sala de aula do ensino médio, em uma instituição de educação profissional, mediante uma visita ao Museu Municipal Lauro da Escóssia, em Mossoró, oportunidade em que os alunos conheceram a organização desse espaço, a disposição do acervo e o que ali está disponível como fontes oficiais para a História local. Após a visita, realizamos um debate no qual os alunos refletiram acerca da experiência no Museu. Em seus comentários, pudemos perceber os cuidados com o patrimônio histórico e uma crítica à história oficial, fato que nos levou a constatar a positividade da experiência no Museu, ao possibilitar o diálogo entre o passado, o presente e um projeto de futuro, elemento necessário à consciência histórica e ao agir intencionalmente no mundo.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar como os professores se posicionam em relação às políticas de formação dos docentes e se as formações que possuem possibilitam desenvolver práticas pedagógicas que contemplem a realidade das escolas do campo. Este estudo ocorreu mediante uma revisão bibliográfica e uma pesquisa de campo em uma escola municipal, situada na Rodovia BR 230 – Transamazônica, km 200, área rural de Placas (PA), onde a diretora, a coordenadora pedagógica e três docentes da referida escola responderam a um questionário, e os dados gerados foram analisados numa perspectiva qualitativa. A pesquisa aponta que devido à falta de oferta de cursos destinados aos professores do campo que contemplem seus distintos contextos, há o surgimento de inúmeros entraves para esse profissional desenvolver um bom trabalho, afetando assim, não só a qualidade profissional, mas a aprendizagem dos estudantes do campo. Além disso, acreditamos ser necessário fazer algumas reflexões a respeito das políticas de formação de professores no cenário brasileiro, pois embora percebamos que haja a manifestação de intenções quanto à formação inicial e continuada dos docentes na atualidade, é preciso considerar, de modo especial, aqueles que atuam nas escolas do campo, como forma de se ter uma educação efetivamente inclusiva para esses sujeitos.

We characterize the bat fauna of forested sites in the municipality of Domingos Martins, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil, and update the list of bat species of the state. We conducted a rapid inventory using ground-level mist nets (27,000 m²·h effort) and occasional roost searching, which resulted in a list of 23 species belonging to Phyllostomidae (18 species), Vespertilionidae (3), and Molossidae (2). We report the first record of Molossops neglectus Williams & Genoways, 1980 and Myotis lavali Moratelli, Peracchi, Dias & Oliveira, 2011 from Espírito Santo, bringing the total number of confirmed species in the state to 86. The molossid Nyctinomops laticaudatus (É. Geoffroy, 1805) was exclusively recorded in its diurnal roost in rocky outcrops. Our study fills knowledge gaps in the distribution of bat species in southeastern Brazil, and more specifically in the highly diverse coastal Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo. These data reinforce the importance of continuously inventorying and documenting bats in the Neotropics.
Educar la libertad, un puente entre la indigencia del hombre y su posibilidad de plenitud en Millán-Puelles
Authors: Peñacoba-Arribas Alejandra
Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se muestra cómo Millán- Puelles considera al hombre como una criatura con una naturaleza –principio fijo de operaciones no fijas– que está dotada de posibilidad de perfeccionamiento. Sobre esta base, el ser humano puede avanzar camino de la plenitud mediante el uso de la libertad conforme con la verdad. Este es el proceso educativo en el que la libertad hace de puente entre esa indigencia de la naturaleza y el perfeccionamiento de la misma. Es educar conduciendo al hombre a la plenitud, permitiéndole crecer en bien y terminar de ser.
Value conflict among adolescents in relation to modernization

Published: December 2021

Different choices and actions are rooted in values which define what an individual considers good or beneficial to his well being. The necessity of making choices cause conflict and it is very natural, it arises when two or more incompatible goals are active at the same time. Modern era is characterized by technological development and economic prosperity on one hand and cut-throat competition and value erosion on the other. This paradoxical situation affects adolescent’s ability to decide between sets of values which in turns may or may not associated with value conflict. The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between adolescents’ attitude towards modernization and extent of value conflict among them. This study also reveals the contribution of modernization as a determinant in value conflict in terms of gender and locale. For the present study a sample of 400 adolescents was taken from six government and private colleges situated in urban and rural areas of Ludhiana district. Value conflict scale by Bhardwaj and Comprehensive Modernization Inventory by Ahluwalia and Kalia were used to collect the data. Results revealed that attitude of adolescents was significantly negatively correlated with value conflict among rural and urban girls and boys. On the basis of regression analysis there was a significant positive contribution of different dimensions of modernization on positive value assumption among adolescents. Adolescents with positive attitude towards different aspects of modernization had greater inclination towards positive values.

Women play an important role in the development of a family and society. From last few decades, they have been actively participating in various economic and social activities, but their efforts remain unrecognized. Women in rural areas suffer from many grave disadvantages and are subjected to great deal of hardship and drudgery. The jobs done by them are often physically arduous, time consuming and repetitive, resulting in fatigue and drudgery. So women need new technologies and practices to improve upon the old ones. Technology transfer and adoption process work simultaneously. The rate of adoption depends on the evaluation of innovation in terms of its perceived characteristics such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and practicability. To study the perceived attributes of homestead technologies the present study was carried out hisar district of harayana state. The total sample size was 200 rural women. The study found that most of the respondents FRM related technologies were perceived relatively advantageous (39.7%) by the maximum of the respondents. In terms of compatibility, HDFS technologies were at top (40.6%). Simplicity and practicability of FN related technologies was perceived by maximum number of the respondents (41.9% and 48.9%).
Effect of auto- irrigation system on crop yields

Published: December 2021

The vast majority of Indians live in villages and depend on farming to live on. Today the most popular social interaction and time consuming mission are planning or farming watering exercises. Regardless of the season, whether it is sunny, droughty, shady or damp, the amount of water the plants receive must be controlled. Currently in operation, water systems can be used for water plants effectively when necessary. However, two main considerations need to be taken into account where and how much water is needed for this manual watering scheme. To reduce handling tasks and make work simpler, a programmed automatic irrigation system (Automatic Irrigation System) is developed. It utilises output to naturally assess the soil and water dampness of the plant when no humidity in the dirt has been observed. This instrument can also be used on big farms.
Incidence, yield losses and symptomatology of sclerotinia stem rot (SSR) of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) incited by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Authors: Khan Irfan , Rawal Pokhar , Singh Roop
Published: December 2021

SSR hamper successful cultivation and causes significant yield losses globally including India. The SSR disease incidence ranged from 3.59 to 18.50 per cent in mustard growing areas of Rajasthan and Bharatpur district having the highest (18.50%) disease incidence. However, the Udaipur district had the lowest (3.59%) disease outbreak. SSR was responsible to cause 18.80 per cent overall yield losses in two consecutive years (Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18). Highest yield loss (43.82%) was observed from Bharatpur district while minimum yield loss (3.51%) had recorded from Udaipur district. Characteristics symptoms, formation of white mycelium on host stem and development of sclerotia on/inside the stem, of SSR on mustard crop were noted during survey.
