Authors: Jakobsen Marianne Uhre , Bysted Anette , Mejborn Heddie , Stockmarr Anders , Trolle Ellen
Published: September 2021

We conducted an overview of systematic reviews to summarize reviews of cohort studies on intake of unprocessed and processed meat and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke. Systematic reviews of cohort studies published between January 2010 and August 2020 were identified through a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The quality of how each review was conducted was assessed and the overall confidence in the results of each review was rated using AMSTAR 2. The quality of evidence of each meta-analysis was graded using NutriGrade. Three reviews were included, with meta-analyses of unprocessed red meat and CVD (n = 1) and stroke (n = 2); unprocessed poultry and stroke (n = 1); and processed meat and CVD (n = 1), CHD (n = 1), and stroke (n = 3). The overall confidence in the results of each review was rated as critically low. The meta-evidence was graded moderate for a positive association between unprocessed red meat and stroke and moderate for a positive association between processed meat and CHD and stroke. For other associations the meta-evidence was graded as low or very low. In conclusion, the associations between unprocessed and processed meat with CVD and major subtypes of CVD have not been extensively investigated.

Selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) are essential trace elements needed for appropriate immune system responses, cell signalling and anti-viral defence. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at two hospitals in Ghent, Belgium, to investigate whether Se and/or Zn deficiency upon hospital admission correlates to disease severity and mortality risk in COVID-19 patients with or without co-morbidities. Trace element concentrations along with additional biomarkers were determined in serum or plasma and associated to disease severity and outcome. An insufficient Se and/or Zn status upon hospital admission was associated with a higher mortality rate and a more severe disease course in the entire study group, especially in the senior population. In comparison to healthy European adults, the patients displayed strongly depressed total Se (mean ± SD: 59.2 ± 20.6 vs. 84.4 ± 23.4 µg L−1) and SELENOP (mean ± SD: 2.2 ± 1.9 vs. 4.3 ± 1.0 mg L−1) concentrations at hospital admission. Particularly strong associations were observed for death risk of cancer, diabetes and chronic cardiac disease patients with low Se status, and of diabetes and obese patients with Zn deficiency. A composite biomarker based on serum or plasma Se, SELENOP and Zn at hospital admission proved to be a reliable tool to predict severe COVID-19 course and death, or mild disease course. We conclude that trace element assessment at hospital admission may contribute to a better stratification of patients with COVID-19 and other similar infectious diseases, support clinical care, therapeutic interventions and adjuvant supplementation needs, and may prove of particular relevance for patients with relevant comorbidities.

Published: September 2021

We examined the glycemic status-stratified relationships between total serum branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) concentrations and cardiometabolic risk factors in middle-aged Caucasian women. The study included 349 women divided into 2 subgroups: a normoglycemic group (NG, n = 184) and a dysglycemic group (DG, n = 165). Blood samples, anthropometric parameters, and blood pressure were measured. HOMA-IR, albumin-corrected calcium (CCa), and fatty liver index (FLI) were calculated. BCAA concentrations were higher in the women with dysglycemia. BCAAs moderately correlated with BMI and FLI in the NG group and with BMI, FLI, total calcium (TCa), CCa, HbA1c, TG/HDL-C, and HDL-C in the DG group. After adjusting for age and BMI, correlations for TCa, CCa, HbA1c, HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C remained significant. The coexistence of increased BCAAs with dysglycemic status was associated with markedly higher concentrations of TCa, CCa, HbA1c, and TG, which were not observed in the DG women with low level of BCAAs. Multiple regression showed that TCa or CCa, age and BCAAs were significantly associated with HbA1c independently of BMI only in the DG group. We conclude that dysglycemia in particular predisposes women to a significant relationship between total BCAAs and circulating calcium and HbA1c, and that these relationships are independent of BMI and may reflect the pathophysiological calcium-dependent mechanisms connecting BCAAs with metabolic disturbances.
Q Fever Vaccine Development: Current Strategies and Future Considerations
Authors: Long Carrie
Published: September 2021

Q fever is a zoonotic disease caused by the intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii. This disease typically manifests as a self-limiting, febrile illness known as acute Q fever. Due to the aerosol transmissibility, environmental persistence, and infectivity of C. burnetii, this pathogen is a notable bioterrorism threat. Despite extensive efforts to develop next-generation human Q fever vaccines, only one vaccine, Q-Vax®, is commercially available. Q-Vax® is a phase I whole-cell vaccine, and its licensed use is limited to Australia, presumably due to the potential for a post-vaccination hypersensitivity response. Pre-clinical Q fever vaccine development is a major area of interest, and diverse approaches have been undertaken to develop an improved Q fever vaccine. Following a brief history of Q fever vaccine development, current approaches will be discussed along with future considerations for an improved Q fever vaccine.

Published: September 2021

The reporting odds ratio (ROR) is easy to calculate, and there have been several examples of its use because of its potential to speed up the detection of drug–drug interaction signals by using the “upward variation of ROR score”. However, since the validity of the detection method is unknown, this study followed previous studies to investigate the detection trend. The statistics models (the Ω shrinkage measure and the “upward variation of ROR score”) were compared using the verification dataset created from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database (JADER). The drugs registered as “suspect drugs” in the verification dataset were considered as the drugs to be investigated, and the target adverse event in this study was Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), as in previous studies. Of 3924 pairs that reported SJS, the number of positive signals detected by the Ω shrinkage measure and the “upward variation of ROR score” (Model 1, the Susuta Model, and Model 2) was 712, 2112, 1758, and 637, respectively. Furthermore, 1239 positive signals were detected when the Haldane–Anscombe 1/2 correction was applied to Model 2, the statistical model that showed the most conservative detection trend. This result indicated the instability of the positive signal detected in Model 2. The ROR scores based on the frequency-based statistics are easily inflated; thus, the use of the “upward variation of ROR scores” to search for drug–drug interaction signals increases the likelihood of false-positive signal detection. Consequently, the active use of the “upward variation of ROR scores” is not recommended, despite the existence of the Ω shrinkage measure, which shows a conservative detection trend.

Published: September 2021

We studied the efficacy of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and a polymeric compound (based on chitosan and cellulose with integrated cerium dioxide nanoparticles (PCCD)) in wound healing, and to compare the effects with various invasive and external drugs used for the same purpose. Two wounds were made on the backs of each of 112 Wistar rats, removing the skin. Eight groups were studied: Control_0—intact wounds; Control_ss—0.9% NaCl injections; MSC injections; Control_msc—intact wounds on the opposite side of the body from the MSC group; external application of the PCCD; external application of a combination of the drugs PCCD + MSC; DCh –ointment Dioxomethyltetrahydropyrimidine + Chloramphenicol; and DHCB—injections of a deproteinized hemoderivative of calf blood. After 14 days, we evaluated the state and size of the wounds, studied the level of microcirculation, performed a histological study, and identified and counted the different types of cells. The most effective remedy was combination PCCD + MSC. The treatments in the PCCD and MSC groups were more effective than in the DHCB and DCh groups. Invasive drugs and DCh slowed the regeneration process. DHCB did not affect the rate of healing for acute wounds without ischemia during the first week. The proven efficacy of developed polymeric compounds demonstrates the feasibility of further studies in clinical practice.

Melatonin improves metabolic alterations associated with obesity and its diabetes (diabesity). We intend to determine whether this improvement is exerted by changing Zn and/or Cu tissue levels in liver, muscle, pancreas, and brain, and in internal (perirenal, perigonadal, and omentum) and subcutaneous lumbar white adipose tissues (IWAT and SWAT, respectively). Male Zücker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and lean littermates (ZL) were orally supplemented either with melatonin (10 mg/kg body weight/day) or vehicle for 6 weeks. Zn and Cu concentrations were not significantly influenced by diabesity in the analyzed tissues (p > 0.05), with the exception of Zn in liver. In skeletal muscle Zn and Cu, and in perirenal WAT, only Zn levels increased significantly with melatonin supplementation in ZDF rats (p < 0.05). This cytoplasmic Zn enhancement would be probably associated with the upregulation of several Zn influx membrane transporters (Zips) and could explain the amelioration in the glycaemia and insulinaemia by upregulating the Akt and downregulating the inhibitor PTP1B, in obese and diabetic conditions. Enhanced Zn and Cu levels in muscle cells could be related to the reported antioxidant melatonin activity exerted by increasing the Zn, Cu-SOD, and extracellular Cu-SOD activity. In conclusion, melatonin, by increasing the muscle levels of Zn and Cu, joined with our previously reported findings improves glycaemia, insulinaemia, and oxidative stress in this diabesity animal model.

Обоснован рост требований к системе мониторинга здоровья и физиологического состояния животных для решения задач по увеличению срока продуктивного хозяйственного использования высокопродуктивных коров на крупных молочных комплексах. Анализ основных причин выбраковки коров в племенных хозяйствах Ленинградской области свидетельствует, что большую часть болезней при беспривязном содержании коров с доением в доильных залах можно выявить и предотвратить на ранних стадиях, тщательно фиксируя и оперативно реагируя на «сигналы коров», характеризующие активность, особенности передвижения, нахождение в различных зонах животноводческих помещений, потребление корма и воды, руминацию, внешний вид. Проведен анализ возможностей и ограничений существующих и разрабатываемых автоматических систем мониторинга здоровья и физиологического состояния животных, таких как: ошейники с транспондерами, ушные бирки c трехосным акселерометром, болюсы. Рассмотрены тенденции и перспективы разработки и освоения в молочном животноводстве цифровых технологий обработки и анализа визуальной информации, получаемой круглосуточно с камер наблюдения, с применением элементов «искусственного интеллекта», нейросетевых алгоритмов. Мониторинг поведенческих сигналов животных с помощью современных цифровых технологий может стать решением актуальных производственно-экономических задач: сохранение здоровья высокопродуктивных коров в больших стадах в условиях автоматизированного производства молока, увеличение продолжительности их хозяйственного использования, улучшение воспроизводства стада, рост экономической эффективности отрасли.

The growth of requirements for the system of monitoring the health and physiological state of animals for solving the problems of increasing the period of productive economic use of highly productive cows at large dairy complexes has been substantiated. Analysis of the main reasons for the culling of cows in the breeding farms of the Leningrad Region shows that most of the diseases in case of loose housing of cows with milking in milking parlors can be detected and prevented at early stages by carefully recording and promptly responding to “cow signals” characterizing activity , peculiarities of movement, being in various zones of livestock buildings, consumption of feed and water, rumination, appearance. The analysis of the possibilities and limitations of existing and developed automatic systems for monitoring the health and physiological state of animals, such as collars with transponders, ear tags, boluses, is carried out. Trends and prospects for the development and development of digital technologies for processing and analysis of visual information received around the clock from surveillance cameras using elements of "artificial intelligence" and neural network algorithms are considered.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized a new strain of coronavirus, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), called Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The mildest and most common symptoms include fever, fatigue and cough; however, more severe cases of the disease can cause breathing difficulties, kidney and heart failure and, eventually, death. However, an increasing number of reports of neurological manifestations have emerged. Objective. Provide a comprehensive review of the neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 and especially the relationship between acute facial nerve palsy and COVID-19, as well as their results in mortality and the implications that this has in clinical practice. Method. The search in seven databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scielo, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar) was carried out by two independent reviewers in search of evidence of Facial Nerve Palsy (VII) and SARS-CoV-2 . After screening, data were collected and discussed. Results. Idiopathic facial palsy is called Bell's palsy and studies have shown that facial palsy increased during the COVID-19 pandemic period. There are many reports on the relationship between COVID-19 and facial paralysis, but little real evidence of their relationship. Conclusion. It is still questionable whether these neuroimmune disorders occur directly from viral infection or as autoimmune sequelae. The pathogenesis of the disease behind this manifestation is not yet fully understood. We believe that more research should be carried out to clarify the association raised by this study.
MOLECULAR-GENETIC ANALYSIS OF PHYTOPATHOGENS IN STANDS OF THE VORONEZH REGION
Authors: Belyakova N. , Vorob'eva Elena , Sivolapov Vladimir
Published: September 2021

This paper presents the results of DNA diagnostics of phytopathogens in the Voronezh region. DNA diagnostics was carried out step by step: isolation of total DNA from the sample by CTAB method, amplification of marker regions of phytopathogenic organisms using primers ITS1 and ITS4, electrophoretic separation of the obtained amplicons in 2% agarose gel followed by staining with ethidium bromide, determination of the nucleotide sequence of the amplified loci ABI Prism 310. The study identified the following plant diseases: Sphaeropsis sapinea, Rhizoctonia solani, Cladosporium herbarum. Along with this, we identified the Neocatenulostroma pathogen, which had not previously been found in the territories under its jurisdiction. This disease cannot be determined by phenological signs. The degree of infection by pathogens ranged from 15 to 40%. At present, the problem of protecting plants from diseases is especially urgent. It has been established that the greatest damage to forestry activities is caused by fungal and infectious diseases. At the same time, among phytopathogens, about 97% are fungal infections, 2% are bacterial and 1% are viral.
Thus, the use of DNA analysis for the detection of phytopathogens expands the prospects for the application of the plant protection system against diseases. DNA markers can be used not only to assess the degree of contamination of seeds, seedlings, plantlets and forest crops, but also in the course of preventive measures.

Published: September 2021

A method for calculating the area of the loading roadstead, which is part of a promising transport and technological scheme for the supply of wood to consumers, is proposed. The area of the loading roadstead consists of the storage area of flat flat units and the area of the received production facilities. The calculation of the area of the accepted production facilities is considered in detail, depending on the parameters of flat flat units, the carrying capacity of ships and their overall dimensions, as well as the features of the installation of cranes on a floating base. The use of this technique makes it possible to perform a reliable calculation of the required area of the water area of the waterway.

Published: September 2021

Modern logging equipment, which is supplied in the Russian Federation, supports work with the StanForD2010 standard. It allows you to store data that is collected from forest machines in the process of harvesting round wood in convenient formats. The most commonly used formats in the Russian Federation include stm, prd, drf. Currently, almost all logging equipment and software on it are foreign. Most of the supplied software bundled with forest equipment is partially used or not used at all. However, you can only purchase the entire software package. If the company has forest machines from different manufacturers, it is necessary to purchase software for each of them, which entails significant costs for loggers. Therefore, there is a need to develop similar software that would preserve the necessary functionality to ensure control over the logging process, as well as reduce its cost for the end user. As part of this work, software has been developed for importing and decrypting individual stm files from forest machines, evaluating the size and quality characteristics of harvested wood in graphical and tabular forms, which allows you to quickly analyze and adjust the harvesting process. This direction is relevant for logging enterprises of the Russian Federation.
THE EFFECT OF THE GROWING CONDITIONS IS THE SIZE OF THE NUMBER OF ANNUAL LAYERS IN 1 CM AT THE PINE TREE

Published: September 2021

The biological origin of wood suggests its complex structure, each of the elements of which, has a special effect on the properties of wood. The most visible elements of the macroscopic structure of wood, which include annual layers or layers of growth. By the width of the year layer, especially for conifers, it is possible to make a preliminary judgment on the quality of wood: it is considered that with the reduction of its width, the physical and mechanical properties increase. At the same time, the width of the year layer is one of the most variable parameters of the macrostructure. Its fluctuations cause both internal factors, such as age, and external, which include growth conditions, which include both climatic factors and soil characteristics. The study measured the width of the year-long layer of pine wood in different growing conditions, according to the data obtained, the number of annual layers in 1 cm was calculated.
SOFTWOOD COMPOSITES FOR CONSTRUCTION

Published: September 2021

The article deals with the issues of secondary use of industrial waste from the processing of soft hardwood wood. It is shown that the disposal of man-made waste in landfills is undesirable, and the use of wood waste to generate heat for heating is limited to the autumn-winter period. It is proved that it is most expedient to make composites from the waste of processing soft hardwood wood, since the need for inexpensive building materials is constantly increasing. Wood- cement materials from soft-leaved wood are practically not produced due to the presence of water- soluble saccharides, which worsen the process of hydration of cement. It is proposed to use binders that harden quickly in the production of composites made of soft hardwood. To exclude the negative influence of the extracted substances, it is proposed to use urea-formaldehyde glue as a binder. The mathematical dependence of the compressive strength of a composite made of soft hardwood on the glue consumption, wood consumption and the duration of exposure after molding is obtained. The parameters of the composite manufacturing mode are set: wood consumption-190...195 kg/m3, urea-formaldehyde glue consumption-262...270 kg/m3; the duration of exposure after molding – 6 days. Methods for reducing the release of free formaldehyde from composites have been identified. It was found that in the steam-air mixture after 12 days of exposure of the chip-and- glue composite, there are no previously detected micro-impurities of formaldehyde, and the chip- and-glue composite can be used in construction without restrictions.
A Linguistic Analysis of ‘Pet Names’ in Nzema: A Morphosyntactic Description
Authors: Yakub Mohammed
Published: September 2021

In the field of Onomastics, many researchers have delved into the study of personal names, place names, church names and school names, among others. This paper gathers another exciting data, (i.e. names that are ascribed to pets in Nzema society) and seeks to examine the morpho-syntactic features of the ‘pet names’. The paper employs the qualitative research approach in providing a descriptive analysis of the linguistic properties that feature in pet names among the people of Nzema. In this paper, ninety (90) pet names are discussed. Relying on Haspelmath’s notion of Framework-free Theory of Grammatical Analysis, the paper demonstrates that the morphological structures of Nzema pet names include single root morphemes, lexical compounding, derivational and inflectional processes, lexical borrowing, and reduplication. These word formation processes are accompanied by some phonological processes such as vowel elision and harmony. At the syntactic/sentential level, the pet names function as simple declarative sentences, imperatives and interrogatives. Compound and complex-embedded clauses were also prevalent in the structure of the pet names. It is ascertained that these pet names are grammatically insightful and can provide a window to understanding the morphosyntactic features of the Nzema language.

Published: September 2021

This study examines how analogical mapping is used to analyse ọkụkọ proverbs in Ideke lect. The objectives of the study are to analyse the attribute and relational mapping of selected ọkụkọ proverbs in Ideke lect. The data of the study are drawn from ọmaba chant of Ụmụdịaka in Nsukka area of Enugu State, through an audio recording of Ụdara Nwa onyishi (Ọmabe) chant and also the study uses introspection since the researchers are indigenous speakers of the Ideke lect. The research desgn used in this study is a qualitative research paradigm. The study was done descriptively and purposive sampling was used to sample the population. The analogical mapping theory is adopted as the framework for this study. The study finds out that ọkụkọ proverbs in Ideke lect has abstract meanings which contradict the physical (source concepts) image. Another finding of the study proves that in Ideke lect, ọkụkọ as used in this study possess different semantic impulse due to the sociolinguistic environment where such proverbs are being used. These different shades of meanings will be gotten by aligning the physical concept to abstract concept(s). During the analysis of ọkụkọ proverbs in Ideke lect, it is evident that source domain is liable to form various new abstract semantic realisations which was not the initial semantic usage of the linguistic expression. From the semantic purview, proverbs are complex cognitive tasks which links source domain to the target domain.

Thematic study is an area in any literary study that cannot be easily overlooked. It is an area that cuts across the three major genres of literature. This paper examines the literary text Ajo Obi which is written by I.G. Nwaozuzu in form of drama with the view of studying the theme of infidelity as portrayed in the text. This work aims at showing the ambiguity of the claim of innocence by the accused in the text. It also brings to light how cultural divergence brings about different interpretations of an action. The data for this study are drawn from intensive study of the literary text Ajo Obi. Following a qualitative research paradigm the study adopts reader response approach in its analysis. Findings show that there is a kind of uncertainty in the claim of innocence by the accused in the text. Again cultural divergence is also found to bring about differences in interpretation of an action.
Derivational Morphology of Assamese Lexical Word Categories
Authors: Das Palash , Madhumita Barbora
Published: September 2021

Word formation by derivation is very productive in Assamese. A significant amount of words in Assamese owe their origin to derivation. The analysis in this paper takes into account the derivational processes related with lexical word categories, and, numerous bound morphemes that are used in the derivational process in the language. This analysis helps us to understand some of the important aspects of Assamese morphology. These aspects are - role of class maintaining and class changing morphemes, derivation of word from synonyms, productivity of derivational morphemes, morphophonemic changes in root as a result of affixation of derivational morphemes, presence of allomorphs of various bound morphemes, ability of a morpheme to derive words from different word categories. The significance of this papers lies in the fact that  these  word formation processes could help develop morphological rules that can be used for developing computational morphological tools like- stemmer, spell checker, tagger etc.
Case Role in the Urhobo Language
Authors: Oghoghophia Famous IMU
Published: September 2021

This paper examines case role in the Urhobo language. Case theory is used as theoretical frame work, the specific objectives is to investigate type of cases and to relate cases roles to argument structures in Urhobo. The study reveals that in the Urhobo language every lexically headed NP must receive case from a case assigner. The Case theory requires that the case assigner govern the NP to which its assigns case. Tense, verb and preposition are case assigners. The infinitive ‘to’ and the passive participles are not case assigners. Case assignment can take place only when the case assigner and the NP to which it assigns case bear a structural relation to one another. It also reveals that irrespective of the theory and its arguments, Urhobo verbs are the basses and centre of its expansion of its constructions. This research also finds out, that the argument structures identified in universal grammar (UG) align with the argument structure of the Urhobo language; the verb assigns arguments to the noun phrases in a sentence. This is traced to the structure of the Urhobo language which is subject-verb-object (SVO). Finally, the study reveals that the function of the nominative case is to mark the subject of the sentence; the vocative is the case of address; the accusative is used to mark the object of a transitive verb; the genitive is the case of possession, ablative case is to mark the instrument with which something is done and the dative case marks the indirect object in the Urhobo language.
Non- Prototypical Reduplication in Odia
Authors: Dash Suhasini
Published: September 2021

The paper discusses in detail echo formations and expressives found in the Odia language and the strategies for forming them. The complex semantic structure as well as the wide semantic and conceptual space they occupy, make them complex categories that have been ignored both by Western and Asian linguists because they are a prototypical grammatical feature not fitting the traditional grammar writing (Abbi, 2018). Odia has morphological fixed segmentism with the variants /ph/ and /m/. Morphological fixed segmentism is a kind of affixation, and so it resembles affixing morphology generally.
[ɡaɽɪ > ɡaɽɪ  phaɽɪ  ‘car and other transport’ ; ʧɪra > ʧɪra mɪra ‘ torn and such’ ]
This paper endeavours to find the reason behind this particular choice of phonemes by Odia speakers. Furthermore, the paper investigates if Odia base-reduplicant structures follow the Syllable Contact Law (Vennemann, 1988). According to the Syllable Contact Law, sonority should fall across syllable boundaries.  This paper proves that Odia base-reduplicant structures follow the Syllable Contact Law as rise in sonority across syllable boundaries is a marked feature in Odia.’
Globally Securing Food in an Insecure World – Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Hussein Mariam
Published: September 2021

This paper looks into the necessity of a global governance system for food security from a "humane" side, with a focus on countries and MNCs. It also explores potential mechanisms to drive MNCs involvement in the global governance of food security into a more inclusive path. Furthermore, the paper explores a more sustainable side to globally governing food security. All in all, this paper calls for the reshaping of a global governance system that better matches the root causes of food insecurity, rather than tries to solve hunger with food aid and provision. The solution starts with asking the right questions. The global governance system should adopt a sole human rights framework while addressing food insecurity. It should acknowledge that questions such as “for whose benefit?” is just as important as “how to produce more?”. Although effective, International Governmental Organizations should further consider how global rules affect different people, who will bear the risks, who will get the benefits from changes, who remain disempowered, and whose ability to control is neglected or enhanced. Global food policy should not just be feeding people, but rather feeding them equitably, appropriately, and sustainably. This brings about a new global food regime that’s integrative of the human right to food.
Metodología ABLA
Authors: Galera Núñez María del Mar
Published: September 2021

Es un proyecto financiado por el III Plan Propio de la Universidad de Sevilla. Este proyecto nació con el objetivo de establecer un nuevo enfoque metodológico, que fuese común a las asignaturas de los diferentes grados de educación. ABLA es una nueva metodología y son las siglas de aprendizaje basado en los lenguajes artísticos.

En este vídeo se describe la metodología ABLA. ABLA son las siglas de Aprendizaje Basado en los Lenguajes Artísticos. ¿En qué consiste esta metodología? Las líneas guías de este enfoque son una fusión entre el aprendizaje basado en proyectos (ABP) y la investigación basada en las artes (IBA), pues, como veremos a continuación, toma elementos de ambos enfoques. En ABLA partimos de una pregunta que está directamente relacionada con los contenidos de la asignatura y en la que tratamos de implicar a los alumnos en primera persona. Para poder responder a la pregunta, los alumnos tienen que investigar y recoger diferentes datos como: sonidos, imágenes, textos, entrevistas, hechos... Una vez recopilados los datos, se analizan en base a unos criterios que pueden venir impuestos por la naturaleza de la pregunta en sí y/o emerger de los propios datos recogidos por los alumnos.Después del análisis, se lleva a cabo una valoración crítica en base a la pregunta que se formuló en un principio Por último, esta interpretación se visibiliza a través de una producción artística .

Durante todo el proceso que implica ABLA, se trabaja de manera colaborativa en la resolución de problemas y se ponen en juego competencias básicas como el pensamiento crítico, la toma de decisiones u otras competencias clave y relacionadas con cada materia.Los resultados del aprendizaje se traducen en diferentes producciones que se visibilizan a través de redes sociales, blogs, páginas webs, jornadas y exposiciones que tienen lugar tanto en la Universidad de Sevilla como en los centros o instituciones colaboradoras. Con ABLA pretendemos que el trabajo académico de los alumnos no tenga solo una incidencia en el ámbito formativo, sino también en su ámbito social y personal.
Estado, desigualdad y educación: Análisis del proceso de implementación de Políticas Públicas Educativas para la Paz en Colombia
Authors:   , Giraldo Morales Marcela
Published: September 2021

El propósito de este trabajo de investigación es indagar por los procesos de implementación de Políticas Públicas Educativas para la Paz en Colombia. Para ello, se analizaron las trayectorias socio educativas de estudiantes víctimas del conflicto y las decisiones y experiencias pedagógicas de docentes y directivos de instituciones educativas del barrio Moravia del municipio de Medellín, en los periodos comprendidos entre 2017 y 2019. El barrio Moravia es un territorio construido históricamente sobre la base del despojo y la exclusión, aislamiento, precariedad y marginalidad. La población de este barrio es heredera de un histórico conflicto por la tierra, con repetidas situaciones de expulsión y desplazamiento forzado, nada alejado de las condiciones de sus lugares de origen, dado que la gran mayoría de sus pobladores son de origen campesino desplazados por el conflicto armado en Colombia, que arribaron a Moravia tratando de reconstruir su vida. En el estudio se plasma una apuesta social y política por visibilizar las experiencias subjetivas de estudiantes víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia y las acciones colectivas gestadas en las instituciones educativas con población víctima del conflicto en contraste con el análisis de las políticas públicas educativas para la paz planteadas por los entes gubernamentales.

Authors: Ayupov Sh.A. , Zhalilov A.A.
Published: September 2021

It is well known that the renormalization group transformation $\mathcal{R}$ has a unique fixed point $f_{cr}$ in the space of critical $C^{3}$-circle homeomorphisms with one cubic critical point $x_{cr}$ and the golden mean rotation number $\overline{\rho}:=\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2}.$ Denote by $Cr(\overline{\rho})$ the set of all critical circle maps $C^{1}$-conjugated to $f_{cr}.$ Let $f\in Cr(\overline{\rho})$ and let $\mu:=\mu_{f}$ be the unique probability invariant measure of $f.$ Fix $\theta \in(0,1).$ For each $n\geq1$ define $c_{n}:=c_{n}(\theta)$ such that $\mu([x_{cr},c_{n}])=\theta\cdot\mu([x_{cr},f^{q_{n}}(x_{cr})]),$ where $q_{n}$ is the first return time of the linear rotation $f_{\overline{\rho}}.$ We study convergence in law of rescaled point process of time hitting. We show that the limit distribution is singular w.r.t. the Lebesgue measure.
A numerical method for solving the second initial-boundary value problem for a multidimensional third-order pseudoparabolic equation
Authors: Beshtokov M.Kh.
Published: September 2021

The work is devoted to the study of the second initial-boundary value problem for a general-form third-order differential equation of pseudoparabolic type with variable coefficients in a multidimensional domain with an arbitrary boundary. In this paper, a multidimensional pseudoparabolic equation is reduced to an integro-differential equation with a small parameter, and a locally one-dimensional difference scheme by A.A. Samarskii is used. Using the maximum principle, an a priori estimate is obtained for the solution of a locally one-dimensional difference scheme in the uniform metric in the $C$ norm. The stability and convergence of the locally one-dimensional difference scheme are proved.
On projections of products of spaces
Authors: Gryzlov A.A.
Published: September 2021

We consider dense sets of products of topological spaces. We prove that in the product $Z^c=\prod\limits_{\alpha\in 2^\omega} Z_{\alpha},$ where $Z_\alpha=Z$ $(\alpha\in 2^\omega),$ there are dense sets such that their countable subsets have projections with additional properties. These properties entail that these dense sets contain no convergent sequences. By these properties we prove that the character of closed sets of the product is uncountable.
On solving non-homogeneous partial differential equations with right-hand side defined on the grid
Authors: Rubina L.I. , Ul'yanov O.N.
Published: September 2021

An algorithm is proposed for obtaining solutions of partial differential equations with right-hand side defined on the grid $\{ x_{1}^{\mu}, x_{2}^{\mu}, \ldots, x_{n}^{\mu}\},\ (\mu=1,2,\ldots,N)\colon f_{\mu}=f(x_{1}^{\mu}, x_{2}^{\mu}, \ldots, x_{n}^{\mu}).$ Here $n$ is the number of independent variables in the original partial differential equation, $N$ is the number of rows in the grid for the right-hand side, $f=f( x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n})$ is the right-hand of the original equation. The algorithm implements a reduction of the original equation to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE system) with initial conditions at each grid point and includes the following sequence of actions. We seek a solution to the original equation, depending on one independent variable. The original equation is associated with a certain system of relations containing arbitrary functions and including the partial differential equation of the first order. For an equation of the first order, an extended system of equations of characteristics is written. Adding to it the remaining relations containing arbitrary functions, and demanding that these relations be the first integrals of the extended system of equations of characteristics, we arrive at the desired ODE system, completing the reduction. The proposed algorithm allows at each grid point to find a solution of the original partial differential equation that satisfies the given initial and boundary conditions. The algorithm is used to obtain solutions of the Poisson equation and the equation of unsteady axisymmetric filtering at the points of the grid on which the right-hand sides of the corresponding equations are given.

A pandemia da COVID-19 demandou transformações marcantes para o ensino, pesquisa e extensão universitárias, entre elas, a necessidade de interrupção das atividades presenciais até então realizadas. Dessa forma, levando-se em consideração a grande capacidade de difusão de informações das ferramentas digitais, além da imprescindibilidade de manter a responsabilidade social da universidade com a comunidade, foram idealizadas estratégias para dar continuidade, em regime remoto, ao projeto de extensão “O Espaço Educativo para o Cuidado de Mãe e Bebê”. Sendo assim, este relato aborda as experiências da criação do blog “O Espaço Educativo para o Cuidado de Mãe e Bebê” e da roda de conversa sobre métodos contraceptivos, que visaram preservar a ligação entre ensino, pesquisa e extensão, contribuindo para a educação em saúde da comunidade, o desenvolvimento de novas competências na formação de discentes e docentes, além de fornecer subsídios para o desenvolvimento de estratégias semelhantes de extensão universitária.

Published: September 2021

As ações de extensão universitária promovem vivências teórico-práticas com a comunidade que possibilitam práticas formativas e dialógicas. O Projeto Labinter, no desenvolvimento de suas atividades, busca um diálogo com diferentes áreas do conhecimento por meio de suportes teóricos, práticos e conhecimentos formativos que se estendem para fora da Universidade. Por isso, o objetivo deste trabalho é apontar as primeiras experiências em torno de uma vivência no projeto Labinter, reconhecendo os tempos da pandemia e as alternativas vivenciadas com o ensino remoto. Construindo uma pesquisa com a utilização da ferramenta “Formulários Google” foram perceptíveis o acompanhamento e a reinvenção do projeto no âmbito formativo para os acadêmicos. Estes produziram vídeos de contação de histórias, construção de brinquedos, oficinas para a formação de contadores de histórias e reuniões pelo Meet. Conclui-se que o Labinter, durante a pandemia, possibilitou a formação do indivíduo por meio dos diálogos que viabilizam desconstruções, construções e reconstruções de saberes.
Tingkat Kebisingan dan Perambatan Suara Akibat Bunyi Luar Pada Gereja Masehi Injili Minahasa (GMIM) Kampus Unsrat dan GMIM Bethesda Manado
Authors: Sangkertadi Sangkertadi , Manganguwi Ronald
Published: September 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kontribusi dinding dan arsitektur ruang serta jarak gedung ke jalan terhadap reduksi bising dari luar kedalam bangunan, dan distribusi bunyi yang terjadi. Studi kasus pada 2 gereja yaitu gereja GMIM Kampus Unsrat dan gereja GMIM Bethesda Ranotana di Kota Manado. Sebuah sumber bunyi di letakkan di luar ruang dekat pagar pada jarak 12 m terhadap gedung, dengan kuat bunyi konstan namun bervariasi antara 60 sampai dengan 100 dB dengan tahapan setiap 10 dB. Kuat bunyi dihitung dan diukur pada setiap jarak 2 m diruang luar dan dalam Gereja. Pengukuran menggunakan alat sound level meter. Perhitungan menggunakan teori akustik ruang dan software I_Simpa. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa konfigurasi arsitektur selubung dan ruang bangunan kedua gereja tersebut dalam keadaan kosong hanya mampu mereduksi bising sebesar 2.2 dan 3.7 dB, dengan jendela terbuka. Dengan sumber suara 100 dB di ruang luar, hasil pengukuran di ruang dalam pada kedua gereja mencapai 69.3 dB(A) dan 56.4 dB(A). Rentang bunyi tersebut masih tergolong bising dan belum memenuhi syarat kenyamanan bunyi untuk jenis bangunan ibadah menurut SNI. Visualisasi distribusi bunyi dengan menggunakan software I_Simpa, menunjukkan peran bukaan pintu dan jendela yang menyebabkan kebocoran bunyi kedalam ruangan.Kata kunci: Akustika;  bising; dinding; gereja Noise Level and Sound Propagation Due to Outside Sound at GMIM Church Unsrat Campus and GMIM Bethesda Manado ABSTRACTThis research aims to determine the contribution of walls and architectural interior, and the distance of the building to the road to the reduction of noise from outside into the building as well as the distribution of sound that occurs. Case studies on 2 churches: the GMIM Church of Unsrat Campus and the GMIM Bethesda Ranotana Church, both in Manado City. A sound source was placed outside the room near the fence at 12 m from the building. The sound source was constant but varied from 60 to 100 dB with steps every 10 dB. Sound reception was calculated and measured every 2 m distance at outside and inside. Measurements were carried out using sound level meter. Calculations by acoustic theory and I_Simpa software. The results show that the churches when room is empty, had only able to reduce the noise by 2.2 and 3.7 dB, with opened windows. When a 100 dB sound source was applied, the measurement results in the indoor of the two buildings reached 69.3 dB(A) and 56.4 dB(A). Graphical visualizations of sound distribution by using I_Simpa software, showed the role of door and opened window that cause sound leakage into the room.Keywords: Acoustic; church; noise; wall

Authors: Raflis Raflis , Gusnita Mia
Published: September 2021

Code-Mixing can occur in all circles of society or social status. Code-mixing found in a language, someone cannot prevent code-mixing. The speaker usually speaks two languages and speaker put words or phrase from other languages in the speech or it can be said that code-mixing can occur in direct or indirect situation. Code-Mixing is the change of one language or two languages into another language. Code-mixing can occur in spoken or written text. Therefore, the researcher wants to know the code mixing contained in selected podcast. This study uses Pieter Mueysken's theory of insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. Researcher used qualitative methods. The purpose of this research is to divide the types and explain code mixing based on reasons and factors. After collecting all the data, the researcher found 257 utterances that contain of code-mixing. Code-mixing contained in the insertion there were 158 data 61, 5%), 81 data of alternation (31, 5%), 18 data of congruent lexicalization (7, 0%). Talking about particular topic there were 3 data (1, 17%), empathy about something there were 4 data (1, 55%), repetition used clarificarion there were 12 data (4, 67%).
