As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os cursos de graduação da saúde orientam para uma formação que promova o desenvolvimento intelectual e a capacitação permanente na busca da autonomia profissional. Este estudo objetivou discutir sobre as competências e habilidades orientadas pelas diretrizes para a formação de profissionais da saúde no contexto do SUS. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, do tipo bibliográfico. Os resultados apontam que as diretrizes orientam para uma formação que qualifique o profissional para o SUS, através de seis competências gerais que devem ser comuns a todos os profissionais da saúde. Atenção à saúde; tomada de decisões, com base em evidências científicas; comunicação; liderança, para o trabalho em equipe multiprofissional; administração e gerenciamento, e Educação Permanente. Considerou-se o despreparo de profissionais diante da complexidade do serviço e da subjetividade que toda prática de atenção à saúde exige, possibilitando discussões sobre a responsabilidade das escolas de saúde frente aos desafios do SUS. Considerou-se, que as DCNs e orientações emanadas por suas competências e habilidades gerais, incluídas nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos, uma vez problematizadas e assumidas pela escola e articulados com o poder público, podem ser o caminho para uma real mudança no perfil dos profissionais da saúde no SUS.National Curriculum Guidelines and a Professional Training for SUSAbstract – The National Curricular Directives for health degree courses orient toward a forming that promotes the intellectual development and the permanent training in the search for professional autonomy. This study aimed to discuss about the competencies and skills guided by the Directives for the training of health professionals in the UHS context. It is a qualitative study of the bibliographical type. The results show that the directives orient toward a forming that qualifies the professional to the UHS through six general competencies that must be common to all healthcare professionals. Health care; decision taking, based on scientific evidence; communication; leadership, to work in multidisciplinary team; administration and management, and Continuing Education. We have considered the unpreparedness of professionals on the complexity of the service and subjectivity that any practice of health care demands, enabling discussions about the responsibility of health schools face the challenges of the UHS. We have considered that the DCNs and guidelines issued by their skills and general abilities, including the Pedagogic Projects of the Course, once problematized and assumed by the school and coordinated with the public administration, may be the way to real change in professional health profile in the UHS.

Authors: Kaur R. , Singh P. K. , Talwar G. , . Anurag
Published: October 2018

Milk cake is one of the most popular traditional sweets of India especially popular in Northern and Central part of India. High sugar content in milk cake poses severe restriction in its consumption. Sucrose was successfully replaced with artificial sweetener sucralose along with addition of bulking agent maltodextrin to provide a characteristic texture to the product. The level of milk fat and sucralose were optimised using response surface methodology. Central composite rotatable design was used with two independent variables i.e. milk fat (3-6%) and sucralose (0.03-0.07%). The optimisation was done on the basis of sensory profile assessment and important textural parameters i.e. hardness and adhesiveness. Milk cake prepared with 6% milk fat and 0.07% sucralose level gave optimised product.
Peer review, scholarship and editors of scientific publications: the death of scientific knowledge in Africa
Authors: Sebola Mokoko Piet
Published: October 2018

This paper argues that the manner in which the scholarship peer review as a process of scientific quality is conducted and perceived in the editorial arena is a cause of insufficient knowledge production in Africa and developing countries. Arguments still persist that the developing countries such as Africa contribute at least 1.25% of the world knowledge production. This paper does not aim to support the idea that the peer review process of scholarship in the publication of scientific material is unnecessary, but argues that the manner of using it to judge scholarship quality is often flawed in many academic publications. This paper uses an analytical approach from literature sources to argue that the usage of peer review without considering the complex process affecting peer review will result in the death of knowledge in the academic enterprise of developing countries such as Africa. This paper concludes that only if editors of scientific publishing can conduct peer reviews in an ethical manner without biasedly directing knowledge, knowledge generation will increase to solve economic problems in Africa.
On Bäcklund Transformation Between Timelike Curves in Minkowski Space-Time
Authors: Erdoğdu Melek , Özdemir Mustafa
Published: October 2018

The aim of this paper is to define

Bäcklund transformation between two timelike curves in four dimensional

Minkowski space. For this purpose, we examine the transformation depending on

the choice of rotation matrix which determines the relations between Frenet

frames of timelike Bäcklund curves. There are three different cases for

rotation matrix; two of them are spherical rotations on the spacelike hyperplane

and one of them is hyperbolical rotation on the timelike hyperplane. For each

case, we get the relations between curvature functions of timelike Bäcklund

curves. By the way, we prove that timelike Bäcklund curves must have equal constant

second torsion functions up to sign. This also means that Bäcklund

transformation is a transformation which maps a timelike curve with constant

second torsion to another timelike curve with constant second torsion.

Published: October 2018

Introducción: la conducta alimentaria se asocia con el estado nutricional en edades tempranas. Sin embargo, en Chile aún no existen estudios que evalúen esta relación en la etapa preescolar.Objetivo: asociar el estado nutricional y la conducta alimentaria de preescolares chilenos.Método: estudio de corte transversal en 247 preescolares (2-4 años) de la Región de la Araucanía, Chile. Se evaluó el estado nutricional a través del índice antropométrico peso/talla y perímetro de cintura/edad. Se aplicó la encuesta Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) a las madres para evaluar la conducta alimentaria de sus hijos.Resultados: ciento treinta fueron hombres y 117 fueron mujeres, con una malnutrición por exceso del 58,6% y 49,6%, respectivamente. Las puntuaciones de conducta alimentaria (CA) proingesta presentaron una asociación positiva y significativa con el estado nutricional y la dimensión respuesta a los alimentos. En cuanto a las puntuaciones de CA antiingesta, se observó una tendencia inversa no significativa con el estado nutricional; sin embargo, existe una asociación negativa y significativa en las dimensiones respuesta a la saciedad y lentitud para comer.Conclusión: la conducta alimentaria proingesta se asocia directamente con el estado nutricional y la conducta antiingesta, de manera inversa solo con ciertas dimensiones.

Productos lácteos suplementados y salud ósea
Authors: Muñoz Torres Manuel , Muñoz Garach Araceli
Published: October 2018

El calcio y la vitamina D son dos nutrientes esenciales para la salud ósea en todas las etapas de vida por mecanismos fisiológicos bien conocidos. Así, estos nutrientes favorecen tanto la adquisición como el mantenimiento de la masa ósea y su integridad estructural, lo que confiere una resistencia óptima a las cargas mecánicas habituales. Sin embargo, los beneficios de la ingesta de preparados lácteos enriquecidos en calcio, suplementados con vitamina D y otros micronutrientes en poblaciones sin déficits nutricionales significativos, no se encuentran bien establecidos. Barnuevo y cols., en este número de la revista Nutrición Hospitalaria, realizan un ensayo clínico aleatorizado en 114 mujeres premenopáusicas (edad media 39,2 años) que fueron seguidas durante 18 meses administrando tres preparados lácteos diferentes.
METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN VIRTUAL ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Mammadova Masuma , Jabrayilova Zarifa
Published: October 2018

In each organization, the goal of human resource management (HRM) is to form, employ and develop human resources. The massive spread of Internet technologies and the globalization of the economy in the late twentieth century have allowed the enterprises to form a temporary partnership, and subsequently have led to the formation and expansion of virtual organizations (VO) by establishing these relationships over the Internet. Unquestionably, the success of VO depends on appropriate organization of HRM and selection, deployment, socialization, motivation and evaluation of employees and partners. In this regard, this paper analyzes the features of HRM in VO and proposes methods for the recruitment and assessment of the performance of virtual employees (contractors).

The article analyzes the specific features of HRM in VO. The issues of HRM in VT are characterized as decision-making in fuzzy environment. Based on the peer comparison of expert estimates for the alternatives, including on the hierarchical analysis method, detection of the contradictions in the expert estimates and multiplicative aggregation methods, a decision making technique is proposed for the recruitment of the employees.

Assessment of the virtual employees’ performance to achieve overall objective of the organization is formulated as a decision-making process in distributed environment and appropriate decision-making methods are proposed.

The proposed approach is a methodological framework for decision support for human resources management in virtual organizations. This system can support more objective and scientifically justified decision-making on presented task. It can also enable VO to be more "reliable" in relation to the "trust" component for the formation of VO, which is the key point for the increase of the effectiveness of VO.
REALIZATION OF REVERSE MOTION OF THE MODEL OF A SEMITRAILER ROAD TRAIN
Authors: Tatievskyi Dmitry
Published: October 2018

The complexity of controlling the road train is due to pronounced nonlinearities, as well as the instability of the control object under reverse motion, often leading to a phenomenon known as jackknifing. Because of this, the task of controlling their motion is relevant, both from the theoretical point of view and from the point of view of the practical implementation of software motion with given constraints.

The task of controlling the motion of a road train with a semitrailer under the assumption of non-holonomic constraints (the absence of lateral slippage of support wheels) has a great theoretical and applied significance. Research in this field is stimulated by numerous applied problems.

For road trains, the location of the towing device behind the rear axle (off-axle hitching model) is quite typical. This model is used in this study. For this model, management and planning methods are proposed, using a diverse mathematical apparatus. Among the most frequently used methods, let’s select the methods of feedback linearization and chain systems, and methods are used, which are exclusively due to the geometric features of the model kinematics formulated in cascade form. Synthesis of control laws can be performed after the linearization of the model by state feedback, using the Lie algebra apparatus, fuzzy logic, using linear-quadratic controllers, nilpotent approximation, and so on.

Studies have been carried out on the state of solving the problem associated with the reverse motion of a road train consisting of a hauler and a semitrailer with a coupling sideshift. The synthesized stabilizing control allowed to study the features of such model, determined by its linear dimensions and dynamic parameters.

In this study, one of the possibilities of stabilizing the reversal motion of the dynamic model of a two-link road train on a rectilinear and circular track is considered. Synthesis of the stabilizing control is obtained for the case of rectilinear motion, hauler, stable circular stationary regimes are realized. The obtained theoretical relationships that determine the properties of the crew's ability to rotate when moving in reverse, allow the latter to be used when the algorithm is implemented.
INVESTIGATION OF PROPERTIES OF MODIFIED BASALT FIBERS
Authors: Gots Volodymyr , Palchyk Petr , Berdnyk Oksana
Published: October 2018

Thermophysical, physical-mechanical and acoustic characteristics of a rough continuous basalt fiber under the influence of operating factors and a corrosive environment are studied. It is shown that the production of protective materials with high thermophysical and acoustic properties is possible when creating a porous system with a known texture characteristic of pores of different classes, purposes and connections. An influence of the porous system of rough continuous basalt fiber on the operational properties of flexible heat and sound insulation products and materials is studied.

The requirements of normative documents on thermal protection of buildings and structures have caused a constant tendency from the creation of new materials that ensure reliable operation of structures and equipment in the conditions of intensive influence of destructive factors of external influence.

This led to an increase in requirements for walling wall materials that are used to fill openings in frame construction, or as an independent structural and thermal insulation material when building buildings with load-bearing walls. They are presented with a set of requirements that combines: physical and mechanical, chemical, hygienic, thermophysical, decorative and finishing, and other properties of the material. In this connection, there is a need to create materials that, having a small average density and high strength, are able to withstand the temperature loads, and the influence of an aggressive environment.

It is determined that the performance characteristics of flexible heat and sound insulation materials are directly proportional to the degree of porosity of the composite materials and their structural characteristics. It is shown that the increase in the operating temperature of these materials, sound and thermal resistance is determined by the chemical and mineralogical composition of the initial materials and their structural characteristics. The influence of the mechanism of selective leaching of coarse continuous basalt fibers on their texture characteristics and the operating temperature zone is studied.

The resulting material is produced from environmentally friendly raw materials using a one-stage technology without harmful effects on the environment and, unlike thermal insulation materials based on polymers or asbestos, has no harmful effect on the human body, meets the requirements of the European Union for the protection of the environment and sanitary and hygienic standards.
EXPLANATION OF THE ALGORITHMS FOR DISPLAYING 3D FIGURES ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN
Authors: Zhyrytovskyi Alexander
Published: October 2018

Not long time ago people can only dream about the thing that they can see 3-dimensional world inside of the screen of the computer. Computers at that time can display only 256 colors on their screens, they can work only with integer numbers, and their computation speed was not fast enough. This dream comes true with the help of Id Software company. This company started to build its games by using of simplified 3D graphics. All these simplified 3D graphics were calculated by the software 3D rendering algorithms which were not published by these company. At that time there was a global goal to speedup calculations for 3D graphics and to make it look more realistic. The solution for this comes from hardware companies. Hardware companies started to work on hardware 3D accelerators, which can render 3D graphics much faster than software algorithms. These 3D accelerators are fully patented, so that no one knows how they are implemented inside. At that time there were proposed two 3D rendering interfaces: Direct3D and OpenGL. And manufacturers of graphic cards started supporting both of these interfaces. Lots of game development companies started to use these interfaces. And also Id Software company started to redesign its game engine to support these interfaces to take place in game market. From that time, everybody started to use 3D accelerators with built-in 3D rendering features and as a result everybody forgot about software 3D rendering algorithms.

Nowadays the situation come in the following way, that most of the algorithms which are used in 3D games are not published on paper, and all the 3D accelerator internal algorithms are patented. All modern 3D graphics are fully conserved by the video cards, so that 3D rendering could not be developed in other way.

The goal of this article is explanation of how 3D graphics can be displayed on the screen of the computer.
FEATURES OF PUBLIC-GEOGRAPHICAL MAPPING OF CONFESSIONAL SPACE OF UKRAINE
Authors: Kostaschuk Ivan
Published: October 2018

A universal author's methodology for mapping the confessional space of the territory with the use of special methods and means is proposed. In the process of scientific research, the following tasks are accomplished:

1) an analysis of existing cartographic materials is carried out, where the confessional structure and other scientific sources are displayed;

2) the main advantages and disadvantages of using certain methods, means, techniques and symbols are highlighted;

3) its own methodology for mapping the confessional space of individual territories is developed (on the example of the territory of Ukraine and its individual regions).

The offered results of scientific researches are approved at scientific conferences and congresses and have received positive responses of leading scientists of Ukraine in the field of cartography. As a result of such studies and practical application of the mapping methodology, we created a series of maps (more than 120) reflecting the confessional space of Ukraine at the level of administrative and territorial regions and cities of regional importance. We also built a map for Volyn, Rivne, Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia regions at the settlement level. This allows to identify the various areas of possible interconfessional confrontations, as well as promising destinations for the development of religious tourism.

The main scientific result of the scientific research is the proposed methodology for mapping the confessional space, as well as creating tourist maps for the development of religious tourism. These results create the foundation for further scientific reflection on the process of mapping and cartographic monitoring of confessional space. They can serve as basic information for regulating interfaith relations at various levels, which is relevant for Ukraine today.
La Regla de Oro, entre el Amor y la Justicia. Signaturas políticas y teológicas en la ética de Paul Ricoeur
Authors: Grassi Martín
Published: October 2018

En el presente artículo llevaremos adelante una lectura creativa y crítica de la obra ética de Paul Ricoeur, centrándonos en los desplazamientos semánticos que van desde la ética a la moral, desde lo formal a lo material, de lo singular a lo político, y de lo ético a lo teológico, a partir de la noción de Justicia. Para ello, nos centraremos en la consideración operativa de la justicia, en lo que llamaremos su sentido económico, y en su referencia a la Alteridad. Esta ambivalencia de la Justicia puede ser pensada desde la dialéctica que propone el pensador francés entre el amor y la justicia, y sobre todo en el caso emblemático de la «Regla de Oro». Es en este caso donde podrán confirmarse las signaturas éticas, políticas y teológicas que rodean a la idea de Justicia.
El Aidós en la fundación del orden social. Observaciones del humanismo griego
Authors: Junco de Calabrese Ethel
Published: October 2018

En un momento histórico donde movimientos de tono humanista se enfrentan a ideologías de violencia creciente, presentamos como objetivo de este escrito una lectura centrada en la semántica del aidós, como precedente del concepto de misericordia. Nos interesa destacar las líneas de continuidad inter-culturales. Sobre dos textos clave realizamos un análisis crítico-literario: el primero, Homero, quien en horizonte arcaico considera el fundamento del decoro y la honra en la esencia humana, entendida en su filiación divina; el segundo, Platón, quien traslada la reminiscencia mítica al escenario de la democracia ateniense ideal, evocado por el tiempo de Pericles. Del análisis pasamos a la comparación, a fin de establecer relaciones de significado. El llamado a la misericordia del presente Año Santo, así como el marco histórico  de la globalización y sus circunstancias de hostilidad (migración, discriminación, violencia de género) son los datos de fondo para el análisis. Las conclusiones acentúan la consistencia del humanismo griego para ofrecer criterios de estabilidad personal y social.
Discípulos que no son discípulos. Mujeres como paradigma del laicado Lucas 8,1-3

Published: October 2018

El artículo propone el discipulado de las mujeres de Lc 8,1-3 como paradigma de discipulado laical, desde una contextualización de la mujer en el siglo primero. Metodológicamente se realiza una lectura diacrónica que se pregunta por los discípulos que no son discípulos en Lc 8,1-3, a partir de la aproximación al lugar de la mujer y el discipulado en el evangelio de Lucas, la ubicación histórica del discipulado femenino y la desviación social como una propuesta alternativa para el laicado. Como resultado se plantea el lugar de los laicos y su participación en la iglesia actual.
El fin matrimonial del bonum coniugum en el pensamiento de Karol Wojtyla / Juan Pablo II
Authors: Conen Cristian
Published: October 2018

Los cambios lingüísticos producidos en el lenguaje matrimonial de la Iglesia Católica a partir del Concilio Vaticano ii, se explican por la intención de resaltar nuevos aspectos de la naturaleza del matrimonio. El presente artículo indaga sobre las claves de interpretación del nuevo lenguaje, especialmente referido al fin conyugal del «bien de los esposos». Se hace foco en el pensamiento de Karol Wojtyla / Juan Pablo II, por ser este autor el responsable de 2/3 del magisterio de la Iglesia Católica sobre el matrimonio a lo largo de toda su historia1. El bien conyugal, interpretado según lalínea de pensamiento de Juan Pablo II, es el nuevo ser y relaciones que acontecen a un hombre y a una mujer, precisamente por las modificaciones que tienen que hacer de sí mismos al transformarse en comunión de amor y vida debida.

Creencias religiosas, inefabilidad y verdad
Authors: Rivera Novoa Ángel Giovanni
Published: October 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es establecer una condición de posibilidad para el diálogo interreligioso o religioso-ateo. Esta condición consiste en tomar los conceptos de «verdad» y «condiciones de verdad» como elementos centrales de la naturaleza de la creencia religiosa. Además, para hacer posible el diálogo, es necesario rechazar cualquier rasgo de inefabilidad de cualquier descripción satisfactoria de la creencia religiosa. Así, en primer lugar, se examinará el trabajo de Wittgenstein en su Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus para mostrar que, en esta aproximación, todo discurso religioso es un sinsentido y, por lo tanto, ningún diálogo sería posible. En segundo lugar, se analizará la obra tardía de Wittgenstein, para mostrar que conceptos como «juego de lenguaje», «forma de vida» y «ver-aspectos» no son herramientas suficientes que permitan el diálogo. En general, se argumentará que ambas perspectivas de Wittgenstein fallan debido a que asumen que la inefabilidad es un atributo esencial de la creencia religiosa. Finalmente, se argumentará que los conceptos de «verdad» y «condiciones de verdad» son esenciales a la creencia religiosa, si se quiere garantizar el diálogo interreligioso. Se defenderá que la interpretación radical de Davidson es útil para este propósito y además permite la tolerancia entre puntos de vista religiosos y divergentes.
La persona en la educación superior. Una mirada desde el personalismo ontológico moderno
Authors: Rojas Cadena Leonardo
Published: October 2018

A la educación superior se le ha impuesto la responsabilidad de la formación de sujetos que le permita afrontar los problemas y conflictos que se encuentran en la sociedad, con el fin de lograr desarrollo económico, político y una mejor calidad de vida en el mundo social. Es por ello que las instituciones buscan transmitir tanto valores como saberes, lo cual permitirá la formación de unas generaciones de personas responsables, con conciencia ética y solidaria, reflexiva y crítica, respetuosas del ordenamiento jurídico nacional, a partir de los conocimientos científicos y técnicos, es decir, unas generaciones que logren humanizar el mundo social. En el caso colombiano, dentro de los lineamientos que da el Ministerio de Educación Nacional, las distintas entidades que se dedican a esta formación superior generan caminos y derroteros, que dan cuenta de la finalidad atrás descrita a partir de proyectos educativos que les dé identidad. Pero esta combinación (regulación del estado e identidad institucional) ha llevado a que las instituciones de educación superior utilicen términos que dan cuenta de esa responsabilidad tales como humano, persona e integralidad formativa, que requieren ser cargados de significado y estudiados con cautela en cada caso particular. Se propone una mirada desde el Personalismo Ontológico Moderno que permita dar pistas, que genere una aclaración sobre los términos mencionados, en su sentido y significación, para labrar caminos de consistencia permitiendo a la vez coherencia entre las propuestas de identidad, el estado y las acciones pedagógicas de las instituciones.
La hospitalidad como poética de la esperanza
Authors: Cecilia Avenatti de Palumbo Cecilia Avenatti de Palumbo
Published: October 2018

Hospitalidad, poética y esperanza son los ejes que arman la figura del título propuesto y también los tres tiempos de nuestra reflexión. En primer lugar, tras las huellas de Paul Ricoeur, propondremos la poética como la clave hermenéutica que nos permitirá vincular la esperanza con la hospitalidad, para lo cual destacaremos el papel decisivo que tiene la imaginación en dicho proceso. En segundo término, con Jean-Louis Chrétien, consideraremos fenomenológicamente la esperanza en la tensión temporal entre lo inolvidable y lo esperado, a fin de situar en una clave de bóveda «espacial» lo incesante de ese llegar del huésped que espera habitar y ser habitado. Finalmente, sobre la base de esta paradójica temporalidad espacial de lo incesante, propondremos la hospitalidad como un nuevo nombre para la esperanza. Nuestro objetivo final es postular que la hospitalidad absoluta, que Jacques Derrida vinculacon el don y el extranjero, pero juzga imposible de alcanzar en el horizonte de lo meramente humano, se vuelve posible al considerar teológicamente el carácter de hospitalidad abierta que presenta la figura de Cristo, propuesta ya por Christophe Theobald como estilo de santidad para nuestro tiempo posmoderno.

Published: October 2018

Este artículo tiene por objetivo dejar asentado el carácter problemático que aparece cuando se intenta pensar la irrupción de la novedad o la singularidad. Para abordar esta cuestión, la noción de acontecimiento que Heidegger elabora nos brinda un marco teórico apropiado para comprender la aparición de la novedad cuyo carácter es la contingencia.
Acerca del carácter irreductible de la mens humana en Nicolás de Cusa: unidad y número
Authors: D’Amico Claudia
Published: October 2018

Nicolás de Cusa elabora la doctrina del espíritu humano como una Metafísica de la Subjetividad. El Cusano muestra que el ser de la mente es su propia operación y su propio despliegue se constituye en forma o entidad del mundo conjetural. El despliegue de cada mente en un mundo simbólico tiene un carácter singular e irreductible. Para desarrollar esta doctrina que preanuncia la modernidad, el Cusano atiende a la relación entre unidad y número procedente de la tradición platónico-pitagórica.
Paciencia impaciente. La comprensión teológico-política del tiempo en Rosenzweig y Levinas
Authors: Fonti Diego
Published: October 2018

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar el sentido que lo teológico y lo político asumen en Rosenzweig y Levinas. Para ambos son modelos de reflexión y práctica posteriores al encuentro fundante de la relación entre el sujeto y la alteridad. La filosofía que tematiza esa relación encuentra en el lenguaje teológico las nociones con que expresarse. A nivel práctico, la política será influida directamente por la concepción filosófico-teológica que se asuma. Surge la paradojal imposibilidad y necesidad de una teología política. Y la experiencia de la impaciencia y paciencia del tiempo se muestra como lugar paradigmático de aparición de lo teológico-político en ambos autores.

Published: October 2018

Under reducing domestic demand for food in Ukraine and increasing dependence on the world food market, a significant part of quasi-price rent from its sale is assigned by intermediary exporters, thus reducing the welfare of domestic commodity producers and consumers. To mitigate this negative effect, it is necessary to have a carefully designed marketing business strategy. The purpose of this article is to summarize the practice of using the main elements of the marketing complex, analyze the effective management of marketing activities of agricultural producers in Ukraine and determine the main directions for increasing its effectiveness by establishing marketing relations for the product supply. Given the large area of Ukraine and the complexity to obtain monographic data that are not subject to monitoring by the State Statistics Service, the study was conducted using agricultural enterprises of the typical agricultural district, namely Khrystynivka district of Cherkasy region (Ukraine) as an example. It is revealed that the use of marketing tools by agricultural enterprises is limited due to the specifics of commodity products and the managers’ focus on short-term business goals. The analysis of forming and realizing the marketing complex of the district enterprises using the monographic method has shown that enterprises systematically use only elements such as commodity policy and distribution policy, while relying exclusively on retrospective marketing data. Significant increase in the return on marketing costs in the short term can only be achieved if formal or informal associations of commodity producers are formed on a functional-territorial basis. This will create a scale effect and allow each member to reduce transaction costs and get an additional premium. It is proved that while conducting administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine, it is most appropriate to form such associations within the boundaries of the united territorial communities.
Selected aspects of infectious bursal disease – the current state of knowledge
Authors: PIKUŁA ANNA , ŚMIETANKA KRZYSZTOF
Published: October 2018

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly infectious and contagious immunosuppressive viral disease of chickens with a worldwide economic significance to the poultry industry. Over fifty years have passed since the first confirmed occurrence of the disease, and the virus has spread all over world and evolved into multiple genetic, antigenic and pathotypic variants, becoming a serious threat to the poultry industry. The primary tool in IBD eradication is the maintenance of strict biosecurity in poultry farms and implementation of vaccination programmes which should take into account the current epidemiological knowledge about the IBDV strains circulating in the field. This review article presents the current state of knowledge about the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) with special regard to the molecular biology of the virus, immunological aspects, as well as current and future prevention strategies.
Honey bee as an alternative model invertebrate organism
Authors: ŁOŚ ALEKSANDRA , BIEŃKOWSKA MAŁGORZATA , STRACHECKA ANETA
Published: October 2018

Insects perfectly fit the flagship principle of animal research – 3R: to reduce (the number of animals), to replace (animals with alternative models) and to refine (methods). Bees have the most important advantages of a model organism: they cause minimal ethical controversy, they have a small and fully known genome, and they permit the use of many experimental techniques. Bees have a fully functional DNMT toolkit. Therefore, they are used as models in biomedical/genetic research, e.g. in research on the development of cancer or in the diagnostics of mental and neuroleptic diseases in humans. The reversion of aging processes in bees offers hope for progress in gerontology research. The cellular mechanisms of learning and memory coding, as well as the indicators of biochemical immunity parameters, are similar or analogous to those in humans, so bees may become useful in monitoring changes in behavior and metabolism. Bees are very well suited for studies on the dose of the substance applied to determine the lethal dose or the effect of a formula on life expectancy. Honeybees have proven to be an effective tool for studying the effects of a long-term consumption of stimulants, as well as for observing behavioral changes and developing addictions at the individual and social levels, as well as for investigating the effects of continuously delivering the same dose of a substance. The genomic and physiological flexibility of bees in dividing tasks among workers in a colony makes it possible to create a Single- Cohort Colony (SCC) in which peers compared perform different tasks. Moreover behavioral methods (e.g. Proboscis Extension Reflex – PER, Sting Extension Reflex – SER, free flying target discrimination tasks or the cap pushing response) make it possible to analyse changes occurring in honeybee brains during learning and remembering. Algorithms of actions are created based on the behavior of a colony or individual, e.g. Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABCA). Honeybees are also model organisms for profiling the so-called intelligence of a swarm or collective intelligence. Additionally, they serve as models for guidance systems and aviation technologies. Bees have inspired important projects in robotics, such as B-droid, Robobee and The Green Brain Project. It has also been confirmed that the apian sense of smell can be used to detect explosive devices, such as TNT, or drugs (including heroin, cocaine, amphetamines and cannabis). This inconspicuous little insect can revolutionize the world of science and contribute to the solution of many scientific problems as a versatile model.

Objectives:

The aims of this investigation in a group of Emiratis were (1) To study overall and anterior tooth size ratios in Class I normal occlusion, (2) To estimate overall and anterior tooth size ratios in different malocclusion groups, (3) To compare overall and anterior tooth size ratios in Class I normal occlusion with the Bolton standards, and (4) To determine the distribution of overall and anterior tooth size ratios ± 2 SD from Bolton mean values in all occlusion groups.

Materials and Methods:

In this cross-sectional investigation, consecutive patients’ files, including dental casts, were selected from the archives of orthodontic clinics of the Dubai Health Authority. The final sample was formed following the application of specific inclusion criteria. The sample consisted of 521 pairs of dental casts representing both sexes (males: 188; females: 333) and different malocclusion groups (Class I: 288; Class II: 110; Class III: 30) and Class I normal occlusion (93). The mean age of patients was 16.18y for Class I, 15.73y for Class II, 15.83y for Class III, and 16.55y for Class I normal occlusion. The dental casts were scanned and digitized by the first author using the Ortho Insight 3D laser scanner. Measurements were made regarding maxillary and mandibular sums of mesiodistal tooth dimension of the overall (6-6) and anterior (3-3) groups of teeth. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, pairedt-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The level of significance was set atp<0.05.

Results:

There were statistically significant differences among malocclusion groups with regard to overall and anterior tooth size ratios. However, the comparison between the Class I normal occlusion group and the Bolton standards showed no statistically significant differences. Only five cases in Class II malocclusion presented an anterior tooth size discrepancy outside plus 2 SD from Bolton mean values and one case in Class I malocclusion presented with an overall tooth size discrepancy outside plus 2 SD from Bolton mean values.

Conclusion:

This study of the different occlusion groups of the Emirati sample concluded that (a) Class I normal occlusion cases presented similar overall and anterior tooth size ratios to Bolton standards; (b) Overall and anterior tooth size ratios among different malocclusion groups exhibited statistically significant differences; (c) Five cases in Class II malocclusion presented an anterior tooth size discrepancy outside plus 2 SD from Bolton mean values, and (d) One case in Class I malocclusion presented an overall tooth size discrepancy outside plus 2 SD from Bolton mean values.
Inquiry and growth: The dance of teaching and learning
Authors: Lamb Winifred
Published: October 2018

The notions of ‘growth’ and ‘inquiry’ are central in the Philosophy for Children movement. Phil Cam’s writings on these concepts clearly map their close connection and, in the process, raise further questions for teachers of philosophy on curriculum content and the management of inquiry itself. With reference to the senior secondary context, I show how Cam’s exposition points to the teacher’s significant role, not only in the management of inquiry, but also in his or her participation as a learner in the process. Furthermore, this learning goes beyond academic and pedagogical dimensions to ones involving personal development and character. In conclusion, I suggest that recognition of this deeper dimension of teacher quality is particularly needful today.
Book Review: Compassion and education: Cultivating compassionate children, schools and communities
Authors: Teschers Christoph
Published: October 2018

In his book Compassion and education, Andrew Peterson explores the concept of ‘compassion’ in three main areas: (i) compassion as a virtue, (ii) compassion in relation to self and others, and (iii) compassion in relation to teaching and education. Peterson states that his ‘focus in this present book lies in particular on the cultivation of compassion within the education of young children in schools’ (p. 10). His work therefore contributes to the discussion of character education within the field of philosophy of education and makes an interesting read for educational philosophers as well as practising teachers alike. To explore compassion as a virtue and linking it to teaching practice, Peterson uses a combination of traditional analytical philosophy as well as down-to-earth practical real-world examples in his line of argument, which makes this well-written book meaningful for educators across the board.
Book Review: Ginnie & Pinney
Authors: Poulton Janette
Published: October 2018

Ginnie & Pinney ‘Think Smart’ materials (G&P) have been written for children aged three to eight, ‘to encourage deep thinking and lively discussion between each other, their parents and teachers’ and hence we understand why they have already captured the attention of Philosophy for Schools (P4C) practitioners. Matthew Lipman enshrined our aim as helping ‘children become more thoughtful, more reflective, more considerate and more reasonable individuals’ (Lipman 1980, p. 15) Let us see why you too will find them a valuable addition to your Early Years resources.

Objective: The objective is to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the methanolic leaf extract of Wedelia chinensis.Methods: In vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated by studying 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, metal chelating activity, and total antioxidant activity. Ascorbic acid, BHT, quercetin, and EDTA were used as standards for the experiments.Results: Inhibition concentration50 values observed for DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were determined to be 62.5, 769.23, and 617.28 μg/ml, respectively and that of FRAP scavenging, metal chelating, and total antioxidant activities were found to be 343 μmol Fe (II)/g, 79.56 mg EDTA/g extract, and 398.17 mg ascorbic acid eq/g extract, respectively.Conclusion: The results clearly indicate that methanolic leaf extract of the study species W. chinensis is effective in scavenging free radicals and has the potential to be a powerful antioxidant.
ANTIBIOGRAM PROFILE AND BIOFILM FORMING POTENTIAL OF PSEUDOMONAS SPECIES ISOLATED FROM VARIOUS CLINICAL SPECIMENS
Authors: Cp Jamsheera , Suman Ethel
Published: October 2018

Objective: The present study aimed at finding the resistance pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Pseudomonas species isolated from various clinical specimens in the laboratory.Methods: A total of 150 isolates of different species of Pseudomonas obtained from various clinical specimens processed at the Microbiology laboratory of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, were taken for this study. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and interpreted according to the CLSI guidelines. Biofilm assay was performed by modified O’Toole and Kolter method. The results were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 and Student’s unpaired t-test, Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney, ANOVA, and Chi-square test. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: Increased resistance was observed by P. aeruginosa to cefotaxime, cotrimoxazole, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, and ticarcillin clavulanate. There was also a good correlation between antibiotic resistance to aztreonam, netilmicin, and ceftazidime and biofilm production. Results of the present study, therefore, demonstrated the occurrence of resistance to various antipseudomonal agents among the biofilm-producing P. aeruginosa isolates.Conclusion: The present study may help in assessing the seriousness of drug resistance caused by biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa and devise strategies through antibiotic policies to minimize such problems.
