Published: November 2021

Carbonated calcium hydroxyapatite (CHAp) exhibits excellent biocompatibility with bone and teeth, making it an ideal candidate for orthopedic and dental application. However, the study of CHAp synthesis from natural material is still scarce. The purpose of this research is to synthesize and characterize of CHAp, using Rebon shrimp (Acetes erythraeus) as a calcium source. The synthesis was conducted by hydrothermal method with the variation of Ca/P ratios 1.61; 1.67; 1.73. The as-prepared CHAp was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX). The FT-IR results show that synthesized material exhibited characteristic CHAp band of hydroxide at 3448 and 1635 cm-1, carbonate at 872 and 1427 cm-1, and phosphate at 1049; 606; and 570 cm-1. The diffractogram pattern assigned the all observed peak of CHAp are in good agreement compared to CHAp database with the nano-scale size. It also observed that the high Ca/P ratio will decrease the crystallinity of CHAp. The as-prepared CHAp micrograph is agglomerates spherical form with size between 5-20 nm which build up from 18–26 nm crystallite particles. The result of this research confirmed that Rebon shrimp is the promising materials for calcium source in CHAp production.

Published: November 2021

Honje fruit (Etlingera elatior) contains bioactive compounds as antioxidants. An antioxidant can be obtained by extraction. This research aimed to determine the best combination of solvent amount and extraction time to produce the optimal yield and antioxidant activity. The extraction method was UAE (Ultrasound Assisted Extraction) using ethanol 96% solvent amount 125 mL to 250 mL and time level of 30 to 60 minutes. The RSM (Response Surface Methodology) in the Design Expert 11 application was used to arrange the extraction combination treatment, which resulted in 13 runs. Parameters analyzed were total yield, antioxidant activity, pH, specific gravity, and color. The results showed that total yield was revealed quadratic, Y1 = 19.05 – 1.76A + 0.32B – 0.002AB + 0.023A2 – 0.0005B2 and the antioxidant activity was revealed linear, Y2 = 408.147 – 6.424A + 0.326B. The optimum treatment was achieved in the amount of solvent 174.815 ml and extraction time of 60 minutes resulted in a total yield of 17.125% and antioxidant activity of 77.55 ppm that could be classified as strong.

Published: December 2021

Objetiva-se estabelecer comparação entre Brasil e Venezuela a partir dos dados do Latinobarómetro 2018, referente ao apoio à democracia. Ambos os países citados na análise percebem sua economia como negativa, possuem IDH semelhantes, no entanto o Brasil possui um índice maior de desigualdade social, apontado pelo IDHAD. Considerando essas variáveis importantes para o desenvolvimento do apoio à democracia, buscou-se entender como afetam ou não a forma como os cidadãos percebem os regimes de governo em seus respectivos países. Constatou-se que apesar de ambos os países reconhecerem a má situação econômica que enfrentam, o apoio à democracia se dá de forma muito diferente. A Venezuela lidera o ranking de apoio à democracia e rejeição a regimes autoritários, já o Brasil indica um índice de apoio à democracia bem menor. Ao final do artigo trazemos nossas breves considerações finais, apontando questionamentos que possam dar seguimento a esse debate tão importante no período que a América Latina atravessa.
Os desafios para a consolidação da democracia na Ásia Central pós-soviética
Authors: Conceição Guilherme Geremias da
Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar o processo pós-soviético de democratização da República do Uzbequistão, buscando, no âmbito dos objetivos específicos, compreender a trajetória democrática na administração de Islam Karimov (1991-2016). Nesse sentido, a pesquisa defende que, ao contrário do que argumenta parte substancial da literatura existente, as dificuldades enfrentadas no processo de democratização do país estão no campo do entendimento acerca da própria concepção de democracia, de uma série de fatores domésticos e externos, além de aspectos inteiramente novos. No desenvolvimento do artigo, primeiramente, pretende-se apresentar os aspectos teórico-conceituais utilizados para a realização do estudo, bem como uma contextualização histórica da região e do recente Uzbequistão. Na sequência, serão analisados os indicadores democráticos do governo Karimov, identificando suas particularidades, e os desafios existentes para a consolidação do processo democrático no país.
The state of green energy transition in regional industrial centres—The case study of Székesfehérvár
Authors: Márton András , Nemes Zsófia , Péti Márton
Published: December 2021

Industrial parks may be high pollutants of the local environment, but also engines of regional development, employment, and economic value added. To make them more sustainable, regional planning often purports to promote a transition to a greener approach, but in reality, many green measures oppose business logic and profitability, while those companies that do invest in sustainable solutions do so without having a clear strategy. This complicated setup is to be explored and modelled in this article which is focused on a remarkable area, the urban region of Székesfehérvár, an industrial city in Hungary having an impressive economic development and hosting significant domestic and international companies. The disharmony between greening policies, intentions and actions is observable in Székesfehérvár, despite the considerable local and regional potentials of renewable energy resources. Findings indicate that systemic thinking and future-oriented decision making will be necessary to achieve true sustainability, which also requires a mutually proactive attitude and the cooperation of different sectors. A legitimate strategy aiming at greening the local and regional economy (with renewable energy concerns), implemented by both public and business actors can be the key element of a successful transition. This strategy needs to be stimulated by local governance.
Semiotic vagueness as a tool for goal fulfilment
Authors: Björkvall Anders , Nyström Höög Catharina
Published: December 2021

Over the past 15 years, ‘platform of values’ texts presenting core values have become common in most Swedish public authorities. This article presents a study of how this genre is understood and used in professional practices. The aim is to show how semiotic vagueness in such texts serves a number of previously under-researched purposes in public organizations, including, rather paradoxically, concrete goal achievement. The framework of critical genre analysis enables the analytical process to move from text to practice, and further to the superordinate level of professional culture. Three different data sets are analysed: 47 ‘platform of values’ texts; a focus group discussion with seven senior civil servants/managers; and a quantitative questionnaire study answered by civil servants from three public authorities. The findings suggest that vagueness serves as a means to exercise managerial control through the promotion of interpretative work and continuous, identity-related dialogues on value related issues. The article argues that even though such uses of the ‘platform of values’ genre may be functional in neo-bureaucratic organizations, it is also problematic when semiotic vagueness is used as a tool for concrete actions such as internal promotions.
Positioning oneself in relation to sources and context – Enactments of independence in undergraduate supervision
Authors: Magnusson Jenny
Published: December 2021

Independence is becoming an increasingly important factor in Swedish higher education, especially in relation to undergraduate degree projects. Despite this, there is no shared understanding of what independence is or whether it is to be found in the finished text or in the supervision interaction. In this article I look at one specific definition of independence: the ability to position oneself and one's work in relation to sources. Three supervision meetings are analysed, selected from a larger body of recorded material from teacher education courses in Sweden. I explore how independence can be enacted in the supervision of undergraduate degree projects, drawing on the analytical framework of appraisal. The theoretical framework is derived from the socio-cultural and dialogical perspective, which proposes that learning and understanding develop in context through interaction and dialogue. Independence, from this perspective, is something that can be explored in enactments in interactions of different kinds. The findings show that the students use different resources in order to relate to sources on different levels, and these levels could be related to independence in different ways.
Teacher agency in pragmatic pedagogy
Authors: Tajeddin Zia , Bagheri Mehri
Published: December 2021

Despite the existence of a large body of research on pragmatic instruction, teachers’ beliefs about teaching and assessing pragmatic competence have received scant attention. The present study sought to investigate Persian-speaking EFL teachers’ beliefs and perceived knowledge about pragmatic instruction and assessment and their self-reported instructional practice. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was administered to 204 EFL teachers and 30 of these teachers also participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that even though the teachers were aware of the importance of pragmatics, they did not consider themselves highly competent in teaching the subject to learners or in the assessment of learners’ pragmatic abilities. The most frequent method they reported having used was pragmatic corrective feedback. Further, the teachers believed that their colleagues and institute directors also gave little weight to the improvement of learners’ pragmatic abilities, and they further argued that textbooks and exams, while containing some pragmatics-related sections, failed to enhance and measure learners’ pragmatic knowledge. These results have critical implications for teachers’ pragmatic awareness in their professional development and for the inclusion of more explicit pragmatic activities in textbooks.

Authors: Sepúlveda Plata Martha Cecilia , Lopez Romero Luis Alberto , González Sandra Beatriz
Published: December 2021

Introducción: La seguridad del paciente constituye una prioridad en la atención en salud, siendo la lista de verificación para la seguridad quirúrgica una de las estrategias implementadas por la OMS. El objetivo fue determinar el nivel de cumplimiento en la aplicación de la lista de verificación de seguridad de la cirugía en personal de sala quirúrgica de una institución pública. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal en 45 miembros del equipo quirúrgico de un hospital, en los cuales se evaluó el cumplimiento a la lista de chequeo de la OMS durante el mes de julio y agosto del año 2018. Resultados: El cumplimiento global fue del 13.3% (n=6), siendo la fase previa a la anestesia la que alcanzó el mayor nivel (55.6%, n=25). El mayor cumplimiento lo registró el personal de instrumentación quirúrgica (100%, n=8), mientras el más bajo el personal de enfermería (25%, n=3), con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p=0.005). Adicionalmente, se observó una correlación entre los años de trabajo en el servicio y el cumplimiento en fase de transferencia (rho= -0.30, p=0.048). Discusión: El cumplimiento general fue bajo, lo cual corrobora la hipótesis planteada y resulta similar a otros estudios descritos en la literatura. Conclusiones: El cumplimiento general a la lista de chequeo fue muy bajo, con comportamientos diferenciales al ser las instrumentadoras quirúrgicas las que presentaron mayor cumplimiento y el personal de enfermería el menor. El ítem de profilaxis antibiótica el de menor cumplimiento, mientras que la fase previa a la anestesia la de mayor nivel. Como citar este artículo: Sepúlveda Plata Martha Cecilia.

Resumo Introdução A associação entre discriminação por orientação sexual e desfechos negativos em saúde é cada vez mais estabelecida na literatura. Entretanto, poucos estudos exploram a discriminação por orientação sexual nos serviços de saúde em amostras representativas da população geral. Objetivo Estimar a prevalência de discriminação percebida por orientação sexual nos serviços de saúde do Brasil. Método Este estudo transversal utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2013. A prevalência de discriminação percebida por orientação sexual nos serviços de saúde foi estimada de forma global, e sua associação com características sociodemográficas e de uso de serviços de saúde foi investigada por meio de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta que calculou razões de prevalências. Resultados A prevalência global do fenômeno sob investigação foi igual a 0,18%. Embora estatisticamente significativa, a magnitude das associações observadas foi tão pequena, que nenhuma das características sociodemográficas e de uso de serviços de saúde investigadas pareceu ser capaz de, pragmaticamente, influenciar o risco de uma pessoa sofrer discriminação por orientação sexual nos serviços de saúde do Brasil. Conclusão O estudo reforça a importância de instaurar ações de promoção do respeito à diversidade sexual nos serviços de saúde do Brasil.
Tanzimat Devri’nde Reformist Bir Vali: Mehmed Râşid Paşa’nın Suriye Vilayeti Valiliği (1866-1871)
Authors: ÇAKAR Sinan
Published: November 2021

1860 yılında Cebel-i Lübnan ve Şam’da yaşanmış olan Müslüman-Hristiyan çatışmaları nedeniyle Doğu Akdeniz’de Osmanlı devlet otoritesi ve kamu düzeni ortadan kalkmıştı. Çatışmalar neticesinde Osmanlı Arap coğrafyasına, Napolyon’un Doğu Seferi’nden sonra ilk defa yabancı bir ülkenin askerî birliği bölgeye ayak basmıştı. Bunun üzerine Babıali, sadece Osmanlı Arap vilayetlerinde değil, bütün Osmanlı vilayetlerinde genel bir idari reform gerçekleştirdi. Babıali tarafından 1864 yılında hazırlanan Vilâyet Nizamnâmesi ile Osmanlı taşrasındaki idari yönetim modernleştirildi ve bu doğrultuda, Şam, Trablusşam ve Sayda valilikleri birleştirilerek Suriye Vilayeti oluşturuldu. Yeni idari sistemin bölgede sağlıklı bir şekilde uygulanması için de tecrübeli vali Mehmed Râşid Paşa, 1866 yılında Suriye valiliği görevine tayin edildi. Râşid Paşa’nın valilik görevine atandıktan sonra ilk önceliği vilayet içerisindeki barış ortamını daimî kılmaktı. Bunu yapabilmek için birtakım merkeziyetçi politikalara imza attı. Merkeziyetçi politikaların yanı sıra vilayetin iktisadi hayatını kalkındırmak için de birçok girişimde bulundu. Râşid Paşa tüm bu faaliyetleri icra ederken, Suriye vilayeti dâhilindeki nüfuz sahibi kişi ve kabilelerle yakın münasebetler kurarak, bölge ahalisi üzerinde devlet otoritesinin kurulmasını sağladı. Bu faaliyetlerinin dışında, bölgedeki yabancı konsolosların arasından, siyaseten ortak menfaatlere sahip olan ülke konsoloslarıyla dostane ilişkiler kurmaya özen gösterdi. Aynı zamanda menfaat çatışması yaşadığı konsoloslarla da ciddi problemler yaşayarak vilayet içerisinde siyasal bir denge kurmaya özen gösterdi. Bu makalede, 1866-1871 yılları arasında beş yıl boyunca Suriye valiliği görevinde bulunan Râşid Paşa’nın valilik döneminde yarattığı etki ve bu etkinin uzun vadeli sonuçları incelenecektir.

Published: November 2021

13. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren tüm dünyayı derinden sarsan Moğol istilası, kısa bir süre sonra Anadolu’yu vurmuş, hemen ardından da güçlü Moğol müfrezeleri Suriye ve el-Cezire bölgesindeki birçok yerleşim yerini yerle bir etmişlerdir. Moğollar, büyük hasımları Celaleddin Harezmşah’ı takip ederken kendilerini Diyâr-ı Bekr bölgesinin içinde bulmuşlardır. Bu andan itibaren muhtelif zamanlarda kısa süreli akınlar düzenleseler de Hülegü’nün Bağdat seferine kadar bölgede ciddi bir tahribata neden olmamışlardır. Nitekim bu seferler daha çok yağma akınları olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Fakat 1258 yılından itibaren Hülegü’nün oğlu Yeşmut komutasındaki İlhanlı ordusu, Amid, Meyyâfârikîn, Mardin’i şiddetli bir muhasaradan sonra zapt etmiştir. Özellikle Amid ve Meyyâfârikîn gibi sadece bölgenin değil İslam coğrafyası içerisinde de müstesna bir yer edinen iki şehir bu süreçte büyük bir yıkım yaşamıştır. Söz konusu sürecin hem bölge tarihi hem de Anadolu tarihi için mühim etkileri olmuştur. Bu çalışmada da İslam coğrafyasının önemli bölgelerinden olan Diyâr-ı Bekr’in Moğol hâkimiyetine giriş süreci ele alınmıştır.

Microeconomic Effects of Indirect Taxes
Authors: Bubnov Vyacheslav , Urazumbetova Yuliya
Published: December 2021

Throughout its entire history Russian tax system has been built on the prevalence of indirect taxation. In the Russian tax system such taxes account for more than 60 % and their level and amount has a significant impact on the economy. The ratio between direct and indirect taxes is one of the indicators of the quality of the tax system. Unlike direct indirect taxes increase the formed price of products (goods, works, services), the final payer of indirect taxes is the buyer. Indirect taxes have a more complex impact on economic processes through pricing, both at the macro level and at the micro level. We defined the role of indirect taxes in the regulation of processes at the micro level, namely, the functioning of economic agents in the course of their production, distribution, consumer, and exchange activities. The research found the following microeconomic effects of indirect taxes: changes in supply and demand; deformation of the behavior of economic agents; decrease in entrepreneurial activity; the emergence of an additional factor of production. The study also showed possible consequences of the increase in the rates of indirect taxes for the country's economy.
Methodological Aspects of the Accounting System in the Russian Federation and China
Authors: Tarasova Lyudmila , Nikonova Irina
Published: December 2021

In the modern world, numerous accounting systems operate in different countries. Accounting performs one of the most important functions — the management of the organization and is the basis of information support in general, as well as a means of communication at the international level. At the same time, there are many differences in the accounting systems of different countries, in the principles of their functioning and in regulatory control. The accounting systems of Russia and China are determined by the historical features of their development, are based on national traditions, and depend on the state of the economy. There is one feature in common between the Russian Federation and China, namely state regulation. China began to introduce market mechanisms into the economy earlier than Russia, and, accordingly, to develop accounting for the new accounting objects that appeared. Accounting in China is also determined by the ratio of public and private ownership organizations. The main share is comprised of private enterprises, including those with a large share of foreign capital, which leads to the tendency to apply IFRS. An important feature of accounting in the PRC is the ability to develop rules for accounting for individual transactions at the regional level and inform the Ministry of Finance of the PRC about this. Accounts in the Russian Federation are kept according to the same rules. Chinese private enterprises are free to choose the currency and the language of accounting, unlike Russian ones. Accounting is influenced by the specifics of taxation.
The Trans-Baikal Territory borders with China, which leads to mutual investments. Knowledge of the specifics of regulatory control, similarities and differences in the principles of building accounting systems will contribute to the development of joint projects.
Le français et la transformation de la société japonaise
Authors: Tachibana Hidehiro
Published: November 2021

Au cours de la formation de notre société moderne, le français fonctionna, avant tout, comme langue de modernité par excellence. Il offrit aux Japonais un nouveau mode de vie associé aux idées modernistes, ce qui leur permettait de se soustraire, ne serait-ce qu'imaginairement, au régime autoritaire de l'époque. La perception de la France qui se forma dans ce contexte s'articulait avec les grands mouvements antisystème au sens donné par Wallerstein à ce terme. Elle se revêt cependant très souvent au Japon d'un caractère apolitique comme on peut le voir dans le cas de Kafû Nagaï. Celui-ci contribua plus qu'aucun autre à former cette image idéalisée, presque paradisiaque et, par là même, créa un archétype d'écrivain japonais en fondant ainsi le champ littéraire au sein de la société après la guerre russo-japonaise.

Le paradigme de valeurs culturelles qui soutenait la modernisation se modifie profondément dans le contexte de la mondialisation. Aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, la société japonaise a besoin de valeurs multiculturelles, pour ne pas sombrer dans une pensée unique. L'enseignement du français devrait s'adapter aux nouveaux temps en se basant sur l'idée de diversité. Car la diversité du monde garantit la survivance de l'humanité.
Les facteurs à l’oeuvre dans le maintien de l’enseignement traditionnel de la grammaire au Japon
Authors: Chevalier Laurence
Published: November 2021

Cette recherche a pour origine une question a priori classique: pourquoi la méthode traditionnelle basée sur l'enseignement de la grammaire continue-t-elle à dominer l'enseignement du FLE dans les universités japonaises alors qu'elle est publiquement critiquée et qu'il existe une forte pression externe pour une approche plus fonctionnelle de l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues? La réponse généralement avancée, le manque de formation pédagogique des enseignants, ne nous paraît pas une explication suffisante, même s'il s'agit d'un facteur déterminant. Au-delà des habitudes d'apprentissage des langues, dont l'influence est aussi capitale, n'existerait-il pas d'autres facteurs socioculturels jouant un rôle important dans cette résistance au changement~? Des entretiens auprès d'enseignants japonais de FLE, couplés à des observations de classe, ont confirmé dans un premier temps l'importance de la formation et des habitudes d'apprentissage, mais ont aussi mis au jour d'autres facteurs liés aux représentations de l'enseignement des langues en général et de la grammaire en particulier.
Plurilinguisme, usages francophones et anglicisation, de l’Afrique à l’ASEAN
Authors: Detey Sylvain
Published: November 2021

Ce chapitre repose sur plusieurs chantiers d'étude de pratiques linguistiques et éducatives dans le domaine de la didactique des langues pour développer une réflexion sur les enjeux, extérieurs et intérieurs, de la francophonie au Japon. Articulée en trois temps, celle-ci prend appui sur la dynamique du français en milieu plurilingue en Afrique francophone pour évaluer la promotion de la francophonie au Japon, non seulement d'un point de vue socioculturel mais aussi linguistique. Cette sensibilisation à la variation francophone, par-delà l'Afrique, conduit naturellement à examiner les besoins potentiels des institutions éducatives nipponnes en termes de plurilinguisme, en lien avec l'anglicisation croissante de l'enseignement supérieur et ses implications pour les autres langues, tant pour le français en domaine européen et africain, que pour les langues régionales en domaine asiatique. La question de la formation des enseignants et de la perception sociale des compétences plurilingues-pluriculturelles des jeunes générations japonaises par les non-experts est alors mise au premier plan, offrant une conclusion optimiste pour l'avenir du français au Japon.
Analysis of sidewalks and facades in a stretch of urban beach fringe
Authors: Becker Ricardo Machado , Silva André de Souza
Published: December 2021

Attractiveness to walkability is seen as one of the fundamental factors that contributes to walking on foot in cities. In assessing the quality of the anthropic environment, some methodologies for diagnosing walkability indices take this factor into account. The objective of the research is to analyze the interaction between people, sidewalks and facades in a stretch of urban beachfront, related to factors that attract the daily practice of walking. Taking as a case study the applicability of the walkability index in a beachfront sector in the city of Ilhéus, in the state of Bahia, specifically with regard to its “Attraction” category, and analyze the results obtained compared to other similar studies. In the methodology used in this study, of qualitative and quantitative evaluation, “Attraction” is a category evaluated through four indicators related to facades and uses of urban land. In addition to the walkability analysis, we sought to ascertain the influence that “active facades” and “complete streets” are capable of exercising on the visual interconnection between the activities inside the buildings and the sidewalk segments that confront them, which are fundamental in promoting urban life. Regarding the results obtained, the final calculation showed that the aforementioned category, with regard to pedestrians, proved to be deficient, possibly due to the fact that the interaction between facades and streets is still being planned, prioritizing the circulation of cars, to the detriment of the human scale of pedestrians and active urban mobility.

Factors associated with dementia-related stigma and associated domains in adolescents: A Systematic Review Protocol v1
Authors: Esra Hassan Mrs , Naji Tabet Prof , Farina Nicolas
Published: December 2021

Background: To develop evidence-based anti-stigma programmes for adolescents, underlying factors that drive dementia-related stigma in adolescents need to be captured. However, it is unclear which factors play a role in dementia attitude formation in adolescents. This is a protocol for a systematic review that will seek to identify factors associated with dementia attitudes in adolescents (10-18 years old). Methods: A systematic search strategy will be used to identify observational data in which factors are associated with dementia-related stigma and associated domains (e.g. attitudes, beliefs, perceptions). Systematic searches for articles will be conducted in the following databases: PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Open Access Theses and Dissertations. Titles and abstracts will be screened with the assistance of machine learning software (ASReview), prior to reviewing full texts. Following data extraction, quality assessment of study and risk of bias will be assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT). The protocol is written in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines. Results: Descriptive data of the studies will be reported in tables and summarised narratively and split into thematic headings guided by the results of the systematic review. Identifying which factors are implicated in attitudes towards people living with dementia will allow researchers to be better informed in which factors may be a useful target for more tailored and effective dementia related anti-stigma-initiatives. Discussion: The findings from this systematic review will help guide future research to identify groups that may be at the greatest risk of developing stigmatising attitudes and potential targets for future intervention.

Se trata de una investigación descriptiva, enfocada en la observación crítica de los documentos que abordan el tratamiento descriptivo de conjuntos de datos gubernamentales. Se utilizan como procedimientos la revisión bibliográfica y documental y la definición de estudios de caso en Colombia, Brasil, España y Portugal. Fue posible determinar el ahínco de los gobiernos al abordar con preferencia la categoría metadatos en el uso, lo que da así mayor importancia al aspecto práctico en relación con el teórico, sin desconocer la relevancia de las instrucciones teóricas. En el análisis de contenido se observaron como destacadas las instrucciones provistas por el Gobierno de España, en las que el empeño por aproximar a los usuarios está orientando la publicación de esos documentos; ese país aportó la mayor cantidad de documentos disponibles, mayor número de categorías abordadas y mayor intensidad en el trato otorgado a cada componente temático observado. Se sugiere que los gobiernos ejecuten planes para mejorar sus orientaciones a publicadores de datos a partir de herramientas, tanto conceptuales como prácticas, y de documentos prolijos con componentes teóricos y pragmáticos para el tratamiento descriptivo de conjuntos de datos.

Published: December 2021

The main purpose of the study is to examine the nexus between corruption and economic freedom to determine the most influencing factors to be focused on to reduce corruption. With this aim, two different machine learning algorithms are performed to find out the single effect, two-way, and three-way interaction effects of factors affecting corruption. As a result of the analysis, tax burden, government integrity, and government spending are the main indicators to be focused on to improve corruption steadily. Besides, critical thresholds of the tax burden, government integrity, and government spending are 83.3, 50.9, and 40.6, respectively. Since there are a limited number of studies to predict corruption by machine learning algorithms in the extant literature, this research provides highly detailed information to policy-makers where they can focus on reducing corruption perception.
The Essence of Education in Disruptive COVID-19 Crisis: Capturing the Lived Experience of College Students in the Philippines
Authors: Cahapay Michael
Published: December 2021

Asserting a responsive, appropriate, and relevant education has historically always been a problem for most learners from marginalized groups. This extant inequality has been magnified in the present novel crisis. Thus, drawing from the lived experience of college students belonging to the marginalized group of indigenous peoples, this research described the essence of education in the context of the current COVID-19 crisis. Following the phenomenological approach based upon the hermeneutic rule of Dahlberg et al. (2008), the researcher interviewed 10 Filipino college students who identify themselves as indigenous peoples. Four themes emerged: 1.) It surprised me: Education has a changed ecology; 2.) It overwhelmed me: Education is fraught with divides; 3.) It motivated me: Education is a driver of aspiration beyond crisis; and 4.) It taught me: Education has unintended positive outcomes. These themes form the structure of the essence of education amid the COVID-19 crisis from the perspectives of college students belonging to the group of indigenous peoples. This research underlines the practical significance of analyzing the state of the students amid a virulent crisis. Given the extant inequality and considering the anticipated educational recovery phase, measures should be planned towards the attainment of responsive, appropriate, and relevant education.
Determination of equatorial coordinates of bolide from observations with stationary low-sensitive home guard video camera
Authors: Kozak P. , Stariy S.
Published: December 2021

Method for determination of equatorial coordinates of a bright bolide detected with wide-angle low-sensitive home guard camera on 9 August 2020 above Kyiv is presented. Due to low sensitivity of the camera there were no objects for comparison in the frames with the bolide, and sky was obstructed more than a half by the crown of threes. For a search of objects of comparison with known equatorial coordinates we proposed to use the images of the Moon and Mars, which systematically got into frames during the next month – September. The corresponding formulae are presented. The precision of the bolide’s equatorial coordinates calculation were tenths of degree at field of view of the camera 100°, and the trajectory angular length was near 15°. The bolide was very slow, and according to calculations did not belong to the Perseid meteor shower, which was active during the observations.
On sunspot “royal zone” and two maxima of solar cycle
Authors: Krivodubskij V.
Published: December 2021

Cyclic regeneration of the large-scale magnetic field of the Sun underlies all the phenomena known collectively as “solar activity”. The sunspot cycle is arguably the best known manifestation of the solar magnetic cycle. We outlined here the scenario of reconstructing of toroidal magnetic field in the solar convection zone (SCZ), which, on our opinion, may help to understand why magnetic fields rise to the solar surface only in the sunspot “royal zone” and what is reason of the phenomenon of double maximum of sunspots cycle. The effect of magnetic pumping (advection) caused by radial inhomogeneity of matter with taking into account Sun’s rotation, in conjunction with deep meridional circulation, play a key role in proposed scenario. Magnetic buoyancy constrains the magnitude of toroidal field produced by the Ω effect near the bottom of the SCZ. Therefore, we examined two “antibuoyancy” effects: macroscopic turbulent diamagnetism and magnetic advection caused by radial inhomogeneity of fluid density in the SCZ, which we call as the ∇ρ effect. The Sun’s rotation substantially modifies the ∇ρ effect. The reconstructing of the toroidal field was examined assuming the balance between mean-field magnetic buoyancy, turbulent diamagnetism and the rotationally modified ∇ρ effect. We found that the reconstructing of large-scale magnetism develops differently in the near-polar and equatorial domains of the SCZ. In the near-polar domain, two downward pumping effects (macroscopic diamagnetism and rotational pumping) act against magnetic buoyancy and, as a result, they neutralize magnetic buoyancy and block the toroidal field (which is generated by the Ω effect) near the tachocline. Therefore, these two antibuoyancy effects might be the reason why sunspots at the near-polar zones are never observed. In other words, strong deep-seated fields at high latitudes may well be there, but they not produce sunspots. At the same time, in the deep layers of the equatorial domain, the rotational turbulent pumping due to the latitudinal convection anisotropy changes its direction to the opposite one (from downward to upward), thereby facilitating the migration of the field to the surface. We call this transport as first (upward) magnetic advection surge. The fragments of this floating up field can be observed after a while as sunspots at latitudes of the “royal zone”. Meanwhile, a deep equator-ward meridional flow ensures transporting of deep-seated toroidal field, which is blocked near pole in tachocline, from high latitudes to low ones where are favourable conditions for the floating up of the strong field. Here this belated strong field is transported upward to solar surface (the second upward magnetic advection surge). Ultimately, two time-delayed upward magnetic surges may cause on the surface in the “royal zone” the first and second maxima of sunspots cycle.

Published: December 2021

Highlights. The efficiency of the endovascular treatment combined with medical therapy versus medical therapy has been proven to prevent strokes in patients with vertebral artery atherosclerotic lesions and asymptomatic chronic cerebral ischemia.

Aim. To assess the efficiency of endovascular treatment in patients with asymptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic lesions as an approach for secondary prevention of strokes.

Methods. Group 1 patients (n = 44) underwent stenting of the vertebral arteries combined with the medical therapy to prevent strokes, whereas group 2 patients (n = 56) received the medical therapy alone. Group 1 was then subdivided into two subgroups -subgroups 1a and 1b. Subgroup 1a patients underwent (n = 22) stenting using the embolic protection devices, while Subgroup 1b patients (n = 22) - embolic protection devices were not used. The follow-up was up to 36 months with regular visits at 12, 24, and 36 months. The inclusion criteria were as follows: asymptomatic vertebral artery stenosis of 50-95%; the diameter of the vertebral arteries of less than 3.0 and not more than 5 mm; the presence of cerebral and focal symptoms corresponding to asymptomatic chronic brain ischemia (according to E.V. Schmidt).

Results. The overall incidence of spasm and dissection during endovascular intervention was 20% and 4.5% in Subgroup 1a and 1b, respectively (p = 0.0367). 2 (4.5%) patients had transient ischemic attack in Subgroup 1a. There were no perioperative strokes in Subgroup 1b. The overall rate of major cerebral complications over 36 months was 4.5% in Group 1 versus 37.5% in Group 2 (x2 = 15.101; p <0.0001). The rate of adverse cardiac events was 9.1% and 19.6%, in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (x2 = 14.784; p <0.0001). In-stent restenosis occurred in 38.67% of patients in Group I, who underwent stenting using various generations of stents. In-stent restenosis did not affect the incidence of major cerebral complications in the long-term period (x2 = 0.1643; p = 0.735).

Conclusion. Endovascular treatment combined with medical therapy allowed preventing cerebral complications associated with the instability of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with asymptomatic vertebral artery stenosis. It has proved to be an effective method for the secondary prevention of strokes.

Published: December 2021

Aim. To identify the expression and possible sources of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs).

Methods. The material for the study was epoxy-treated BHVs (NeoKor Ltd, Kemerovo) obtained during valve re-prosthetics. Cellular infiltration and ECM degradation were assessed by haematoxylin and eosin staining while lipid deposition and calcification were analysed by Oil Red O and Alizarin Red S staining. Сellular typing and detection of MMP-1/-2/-8/-9/-12 and TIMP-1/-2 expression in samples were performed using immunohistochemical staining with antibodies to CD45, CD68, СD3, CD19, myeloperoxidase, and to the corresponding MMPs and TIMPs. Analysis of samples was performed by light microscopy.

Results. We examined 7 xenoaortic and 7 xenopericardial BHVs which were removed during re-replacement from the aortic (n = 2) and mitral (n = 12) positions. In studied leaflets from 13 explanted BHVs, sporadic infiltrates consisting of macrophages and neutrophils were revealed. Semi-quantitative analysis showed that more aggressive cellular infiltration is characteristic of xenoaortic BHVs (p = 0.038). MMP-1/-2/-8/-12 and TIMP-1/-2 were weakly expressed and co-localised with infiltrating cells whilst MMP-9 was abundant in the loosened extracellular matrix (ECM) devoid of host cells.

Conclusion. The recipient cells infiltrating BHVs are sources of MMP-1/-2/-8/-9/-12 and TIMP-1/-2. In addition, MMP-9 can diffuse into BHVs leaflets from the blood of patients.
