Published: October 2021

Acyclovir was formulated as oral controlled release matrix tablets using natural and synthetic polymers separately or in combinations. Tablets were prepared by direct compression method. The tablets were evaluated to thickness, weight variation test, drug content, hardness, friability and in vitro release studies.All the formulations showed compliance with pharmacopoeal standards. The tablets prepared with various combination of hydroxy propyl methylcellulose (HPMC K100), locust bean gum (LBG) and karaya gum (KG) failed to produce the desired controlled release. Dissolution studies indicated that formulation F5 was most successful of the study. The formulation F5 exhibited anomalous (non-Fickian) diffusion mechanism. Based on the results of in-vitro studies it was concluded that the hydrophilic polymers canbe used as an effective matrix former to provide controlled release of acyclovir. SEM images of tablet after dissolution showed pore formation. FT-IR and DSC study did not show any possibility of interaction between acyclovir and excipients.

Novel, simple, sensitive and rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed for simultaneous estimation of montelukast sodium (MONTE) and desloratadine (DES). The method involved solving simultaneous equations based on measurement of absorbance at two wavelengths 285.6 nm and 245 nm, the λmax values of MONTE and DES, respectively. Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 4-24 µg/mL and 2– 12 µg/mL for MONTE and DES, respectively. The method was validated for accuracy, precision and recovery studies. The developed method was precise, reproducible, selective, specific and accurate for quantitative estimation of MONTE and DES, in combination. The wide linearity range, sensitivity, accuracy, and simple procedure demonstrated the method to be appropriate for routine analysis and quality control assays of their tablets. The method was validated according to the ICH guidelines.

The study focuses on zooplankton communities of the Lower Dniester. The quantitative indicators of plankton are given and the annual dynamics is described. An assessment of the current state of the river according to the state of zooplankton communities is presented, together with a comparison with historical data, at different stages of river regulation. The changes that occurred in the river zooplankton since the 1950s were analyzed. The relationships between individual characteristics of planktonic communities and the physical and chemical characteristics of the river was also investigated. A comparison of actual data with those collected during 70-80s revealed no significant changes in the structure of the zooplankton community. The proportion of different groups of zooplankton organisms changed insignificantly, the saprobity indices improved slightly, and the average zooplankton biomass did not change. However, compared to the period before 1950s, prior to river regulation for hydropower purposes the role of rotifers in the community was reduced. It might be difficult to identify the main factor determining the development of zooplankton in the Lower Dniester, in order to understand the processes taking place in planktonic communities, it is necessary to analyze the complex impact of hydrological and hydrochemical factors on planktonic communities.
Beyond Seablindness: A New Agenda for Maritime Security Studies
Authors: Bueger Christian , Edmunds Timothy
Published: October 2021

This article examines the rise of maritime security in concept and practice. We argue that developments in the maritime arena have flown beneath the radar of much mainstream international relations and security studies scholarship, and that a new agenda for maritime security studies is required. In this article we outline the contours of such an agenda, with the intention of providing orientation and direction for future research. Our discussion is structured into three main sections, each of which outlines a core dimension of the maritime security problem space. We begin with a discussion of the issues and themes that comprise the maritime security agenda, including how it has been theorized in security studies to date. Our argument is that the marine environment needs to be understood as part of an interlinked security complex, which also incorporates strong connections between land and sea. Second, we examine the ways in which maritime security actors have responded to these challenges in practice, focusing on issues of maritime domain awareness, coordination of action, and operations in the field. Third, we turn to the mechanisms through which the new maritime security agenda is being disseminated to local actors through a processof devolved security governance. We focus particularly on efforts to distribute knowledge and skills to local actors through capacity building and security sector reform. In the conclusion, we outline the future challenges for maritime security studies that follow from these observations.

Published: October 2021

The aim of this study was to establish clinical significance of oral inflammatory diseases in ischaemic stroke (IS), how aware doctors and nurses are of this problem, and the safety and possibility of performing dental hygiene in patients with acute IS.
Materials and methods. We examined 100 patients who had suffered an ischaemic stroke in the internal carotid artery territory within 6 to 48 hours. The efficacy of dental hygiene and the risk of developing chronic oral sepsis were evaluated using the Patient Hygiene Performance Index (PHP) and Chronic Oral Sepsis Risk index (COSR). Quality of life was assessed using the short version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The sociological study included 100 patients with ischaemic stroke, 38 nurses, and 18 neurologists.
Results. The severity of IS at study inclusion was 8 (3; 15) points on the NIHSS, while the Barthel Index score was 70 (45; 90) points. The modified Rankin Scale score was 13 points. The PHP index was 2.28 0.05 and the COSR index was 20.13 0.50. The OHIP-14 results (a total score of 28.1 6.8 points) also indicated unsatisfactory quality of dental health. The results of sociological studies revealed low level of awareness regarding dental care during acute IS among doctors. After professional oral care, treatment of oral inflammatory diseases, and removal of significantly damaged teeth, patients with IS had a decrease in the PHP index to 1.17 0.05 and the COSR index to 7.36 0.50, which corresponds to a satisfactory level of dental hygiene by the end of the acute stroke period. The impact of dental health on quality of life parameters as measured by the OHIP-14 scale (22.4 7.2 points) was satisfactory.
Conclusion. The most important aspect of early dental care in patients with IS is increasing the quality of oral health.
Mechanisms of neurogenesis and angiogenesis in ischaemic stroke: literature review
Authors: Koroleva Ekaterina S. , Alifirova Valentina M.
Published: October 2021

Scientific achievements of recent decades indicate that neurogenesis and angiogenesis are interrelated processes in the struggle for functional recovery after ischaemic stroke. This literature review presents current data on the neurovascular interactions in ischaemic stroke, and describes the role of signalling molecules and growth factors in the regulation of neurogenesis and angiogenesis, which are crucial for neuronal survival and neuroplasticity. The authors conducted a literature search for abnormal neuroblast migration into the ischaemic penumbra and the role of signalling molecules, molecular targets of angiogenesis, and role of endogenous growth factors and neurochemical markers in post-stroke vascular regulation in acute cerebral ischaemia. Relevant keywords were entered into the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines, as well as Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Global Health, CyberLeninka, eLibrary, and other databases.
Despite promising results obtained in animal models, and the data from clinical studies, deeper interrelationships between molecular and cellular interactions of neurogenesis and angiogenesis are still not entirely clear. Further study and understanding of complex interactions between neurogenesis and angiogenesis is needed to find targets for exogenous growth factor administration and changes in endogenous molecule expression for treatment of ischaemic brain injury.
Sentido reivindicador de una dimensión vinculante en la formación en Trabajo Social
Authors: Zavala Mendoza Eduardo J.
Published: October 2021

Este artículo señala lo necesario y pertinente que se convierte el repensar e interpelar hacia una noción de “desarrollo” -como elemento vinculante- a partir de una teorización crítica e integradora originada desde la formación del Trabajo Social. Con ello, se comprende que apelar a su significación e implicancia para la profesión, supone aludir a un proceso más amplio que referirse al mero crecimiento económico como determinante o plataforma contenedora. Así, esta mirada parece encontrar oportunidad de realización en la esfera política, vista como aquella ocupación que es desarrollada con la conciencia del “nosotros/as” en interés de una determinada integración. Esto, generalmente ocurre mediante la política social. Entonces, hay política porque ningún orden social está basado en la naturaleza; así, la ausencia de orden social es lo que la hace posible, pues es el litigio por la visibilidad de la parte que no tiene parte dentro del todo comunitario. Esto representa un reto para la profesión de trabajo social. No obstante, se requiere la construcción de políticas académicas que insten a un giro epistémico y ontológico crítico hacia la complejidad y la problematización. Se deben crear nuevas cartografías de pensamiento y expandir la reflexión hacia otras interrogantes desde la vita contemplativa y vita activa. De igual forma, se insta a formar profesionales intelectuales a través de la politización de la formación, en el fomento del liderazgo, generación de la capacidad de asombro en el descentramiento del sujeto2 y en consideración de las múltiples manifestaciones que se derivan de las auténticas experiencias del yo pensante.

Published: October 2021

The research is aimed at evaluating the lecturer performance in teaching the methodology of Islamic economics based on the students’ observation during the online course as the effect of COVID 19. The measurement of the performance refers to the concept of satisfaction related to the educational service by comparing the performance to the expectation adopted from Parasunaman’s five quality dimension: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The data is collected from the questionnaire. The descriptive quantitative research is used to map the strengths and weaknesses in four classifications: first, what aspects a lecturer should prioritize because the lecturer performance is low and the student expectation is high; second, what aspects a lecturer should maintain because the lecturer performance is in line with the student expectation; third, what aspects a lecturer should maintain but think again about weighting them because the lecturer performance is low and the student expectation is also low; fourth, what aspects a lecturer should reduce their emphasis because the lecturer performance is high but the student expectation is low. The result shows that with the four classification the lecturer performance related to the service quality can be managed well.

Ketika menginjak usia 80 tahun, Goenawan Mohamad membuat 50 lukisan cat minyak dan 200 sketsa untuk dipamerkan secara besar-besaran. Melihat karya rupa Goenawan, kita diajak memasuki dunia fiksi yang mempunyai aturan-aturan dan logikanya sendiri, yang berbeda dengan realitas. Dengan itu kita menikmati suasana dan kombinasi warna yang khas, yang bersesuaian dengan kepribadian pelukisnya. Tidak semua subyek dalam karya-karya yang dipamerkan digambarkan seutuhnya, dan tidak harus dimengerti sepenuhnya. Semua yang menggoda dan mengundang pertanyaan dalam lukisan biarlah menjadi enigma. Dalam kebenaran kita tak dapat mendedahkan semua teka-teki. Sebuah lukisan membutuhkan sedikit misteri, beberapa ketidakjelasan, beberapa fantasi.

الملخص

إن الإسلام جاء بـمنهاجٍ شامِل قويـم في تربية النُّفوس وتنشئة الأجيال، وتكوين الأمم، وبناء الحضارات، وإرساء قواعد المجد والمدنيَّة... وما ذاك إلا لتحويل الإنسانيَّة التائهة من ظُلُمات الشِّرك والجهالة والضلال والفَوْضى إلى نور التوحيد والعلم والهدى والاستقرار.

 لقد اهتم الإسلام بتربية الأولاد من أول وهلة، بل وقبل الزواج اهتماما بالغا لا يـماثله أي دين آخر وتعاليم أخرى. فالرسول -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قد أرشد رجالَ هذه الأمة بالزواج بالمرأة الصالحة الطيبة، ذات الدين والأخلاق. عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ -رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ-، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ: "تُنْكَحُ الْـمَرْأَةُ لِأَرْبَعٍ: لِمَالِهَا وَلِحَسَبِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا وَلِدِينِهَا، فَاظْفَرْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ، تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ". 

ووَجَّهَ نبي الإسلام -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أولياء البنات وأرشدهم أن يزوجوا من جاء يخاطب من بناتهم إذا كان صالحا ذا دِيْنٍ وَخُلُقٍ، فَعَنْ أَبِي حَاتِـمٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ-: «إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ دِيْنَهُ وَخُلُقَهُ فَأَنْكِحُوْهُ، إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوْا تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي اْلأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ».

وقال الله تعالى: {الْخَبِيْثَاتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَالْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَاتِ وَالطَّيِّباتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَالطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّباتِ أُولئِكَ مُبَرَّؤُنَ مِـمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ (26)}.

وما هذا التوجيه الإلهي والإرشاد النبوي إلا للحصول على كمال الناشئين والأولاد وصلاحهم فى المستقبل القريب الذي هو الحياة الدنيوية والبعيد الذي هو الحياة الأخروية الدائمة.

Published: October 2021

Determining the fair value of financial assets has been a controversial subject since the 1990s, and whether this value depends only on fundamentally calculated pricing models or if there are other psychological factors that affects it. The field of behavioral finance addressed these issues and provided some asset pricing models that incorporate behavioral aspects of decision-making and explained the different heuristics and biases behind these market reactions that lacked fundamental explanation. Behavioral finance is a relatively new paradigm that emerged to try to fill in the gaps in "Modern Finance". Behavioral finance models did not develop specific strategies to beat the market, however, it has highlighted lots of argumentative ideas that have promising directions of further research and analysis that may be very useful in public policy and welfare analysis, as well as in wealth management. In this paper, the author is presenting some of these behavioral finance theories and how they tackle the psychological aspects in investors’ rational and irrational investment decisions.

The area of development has been a sector related to conditions of uncertainty. Activities within the development sector are exposed to many risks need to be considered considering social, environmental, and economic risks to all stakeholders. Risks are all events and situations that threaten the undisturbed execution of the project plan. Risk therefore relates to expectations of stakeholders regarding when and how the project will deliver, what the project will deliver and at what cost. Stakeholders would like to gain the maximum benefits and achieve successful results. So, risk must be effectively planned, monitored, and evaluated periodically by the project management team. Therefore, project risks are important factors determining whether the project will be a success or not. The main aim of this study is to identify the current risk management system adopted in sustainable development projects in Egypt, assess the importance of effective risk management procedure of sustainable development projects in Egypt, Evaluate and analyze the challenges of risk management procedure of sustainable development projects, Identify ways to reduce negative factors which are critical to the success of the sustainable development projects and develop a framework shows how the risk management procedure could improve the sustainable development project chances of success and Increase its efficiency and effectiveness.

Recently, information security in the healthcare sector has become essential to ensure confidentiality in medical data. At the same time, automated disease diagnosis using deep learning (DL) models also gained considerable attention to accomplish enhanced classification performance. This paper designs an intelligent neighborhood indexing sequence based on encoding with a classification model for healthcare information security (INISEC-HIS). The proposed INISEC-HIS technique aims to accomplish security in medical data transmission and diagnosis. The neighborhood indexing sequence (NIS) technique is applied to securely transmit the data, which transforms the medical data into an encoded format. Besides, a novel artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) with deep neural networks (DNN) model is used for the classification process. The design of AFSA to optimally adjust the hyperparameters of the DNN model shows the study's novelty. An extensive simulation analysis takes place to examine the improved outcomes of the INISEC-HIS technique, and the obtained results highlighted the supremacy over the other techniques.
Tecno-génesis y antropo-génesis en Bernard Stiegler: O de la mano que inventa al hombre. / Techno-genesis and anthropo-genesis in the work of Bernard Stiegler: Or how the hand invent the human.
Authors: Rivera Hutinel Marcela
Published: October 2021

A partir de una revisión de la lectura del Discurso sobre el origen de la desigualdad que Bernard Stiegler propone en La técnica y el tiempo, y que establece un diálogo explícito con el abordaje deconstructivo que Jacques Derrida hace de la obra de Rousseau en De la gramatología, el presente ensayo procura reflexionar sobre el modo en que la tradición metafísica ha denegado el problema de la técnica, obturando la pregunta por el nexo entre la historia del hombre y la historia de sus prótesis. Desde esta matriz deconstructiva de pensamiento de la técnica, se intenta pensar que la mano no pertenece simplemente al hombre, no es mano «humana», sin que el hombre sea a su vez un producto, una invención de la mano.

In the text Technic and Time, Bernard Stiegler proposes a reading of Discourse about the origin of inequality establishing an explicit dialogue with the deconstructive approach that Jacques Derrida makes of the work of Rousseau in the his Grammatology. From a reading of the Stigler’s text, in this essay I intend to think about the way in which metaphysical tradition has denies the problem of technique by opening the inquiry for the relationship between the history of mankind and the history of its prosthesis. From the deconstructive matrix developed by Derrida and Stiegler on the thinking about technique, this essay proposes to think on that the hand not simply belongs to a man, not just a “human hand”, but man is also its product, a hand’s invention.
Lesbianizar la intervención psicosocial. / Lesbianize the psychosocial and communitarian work of psychologists.

Published: October 2021

En el siguiente texto comprenderemos el lesbianismo más allá de la práctica sexual que implica para entender su apuesta de transformación radical de la realidad de las mujeres. Se presentarán algunas reflexiones en torno al por qué resulta necesario lesbianizar el trabajo psicosocial y comunitario, entre las cuales destaca la necesidad de liberar de las opresiones más naturalizadas que viven las mujeres en la heterosexualidad, la familia y sus vínculos íntimos; que siendo propios de una cultura patriarcal y misógina, producen deseos impropiosen las mujeres. Una vez analizado esto, ofreceremos pistas de cómo lesbianizar el trabajo, lo cual implica por lo menos recuperar el cuerpo, promover la comunidad de mujeres y trabajar desde una ética lesbiana que invite a crear y rediseñar la psicología.

In the following text we will understand lesbianism as more than the sexual practice that it implies and as such understand its commitment to the radical transformation of the reality of women. We will present some reflections about why it is necessary to lesbianize the psychosocial and communitarian work of psychologists. Part of this work is the need to liberate the most naturalized oppressions that women experience within heterosexuality, the family and their intimate relations being themselves a patriarchal and misogynist culture that leads women to cultivate desires which are not their own. Once this has been analyzed, we will offer some ideas of how to lesbianize psychosocial and communitarian work, including recuperating the body, promoting communities of women and working with a lesbian ethic that invites us to create and redesign psychology.

Published: October 2021

La nefropatía es una de las complicaciones más importantes de la diabetes, la cual puede conducir a la muerte. Las kinasas activadas por mitógenos (MAPK) son conocidos mediadores del daño renal en la diabetes, cuya activación (fosforilación) se encuentra asociada al aumento de la síntesis de proteínas de la matriz extracelular (colágeno, fibronectina, entre otras) y a la fibrosis renal. Recientemente, se ha establecido a la planta Ruellia tuberosa L. como antioxidante, antiinflamatoria, antidiabética y nefroprotectora en varios modelos experimentales. En este trabajo se evaluó el efecto del tratamiento con 10 mg/kg/día, p.o, del extracto acuoso de la raíz de R. tuberosa (RT) durante cuatro semanas, sobre la fosforilación de la ERK 1/2 en la corteza renal de ratas control y con diabetes tipo I inducida por la estreptozotocina y se vinculó con los marcadores de la fibrosis renal tales como el aumento del peso del riñón, contenido de proteínas totales y de colágeno I. Los resultados demuestran que el tratamiento con RT previno el aumento de la fosforilación de las ERK 1/2, del peso del riñón, y del contenido de proteínas y de colágeno I renal por en la diabetes inducida por ETZ. Los hallazgos contribuyen a la elucidación de los mecanismos por los cuales R. tuberosa protege al riñón frente a la diabetes, estableciéndose así la actividad antifibrótica de esta especie utilizada en la medicina popular venezolana.

Authors: Shi Glenn G. , Kumar Arun R. , Ledford Cameron K. , Ortiguera Cedric J. , Wilke Benjamin K.
Published: October 2021

Objectives:

To determine the location and stage of the tibial nailing procedure where infrapatellar saphenous nerve (IPSN) injury may occur.

Methods:

Fourteen fresh-frozen right cadaveric knees underwent tibial nailing. Six knees underwent a suprapatellar approach and 8 a medial parapatellar approach. Two proximal medial-to-lateral screws were placed using the aiming guide. The incisions were then closed. After the procedure, medial retinacular and saphenous nerves were dissected under surgical 2.5× loupe magnification from a proximal to distal direction. The branch of the IPSN closest to the locking screws was measured, as was the distance between the IPSN branch and the inferior pole of the patella.

Results:

Twelve of 14 cadavers had prominent IPSN (main branch from the saphenous proper) with an average of 2.5 sub-branches. The mean (SD) distance from the main branch of the IPSN to the inferior pole of the patella was 40.9 (24.4) mm. Four medial retinacular nerve branches, branching from the femoral nerve and not IPSN, were identified proximal to the patella during the medial parapatellar approach. All were cut after the medial parapatellar arthrotomy. The mean (SD) distance from the IPSN to the nearest locking screw was 10.2 (14.1) mm. Seven of 14 had IPSN injuries, and one had hamstring injury. Two direct screw entrapments occurred, whereas two IPSNs were lacerated by the incision. Suture closure entrapped three nerve branches, and one specimen had injured fibers of the hamstring tendinous insertion.

Conclusions:

Injury to the IPSN can occur at different locations and stages of tibial nailing, including approach, proximal locking screw insertion, and closure.

Introduction:

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the cancellation of away rotations and other experiences fundamental to orthopaedic surgery residency application. Limited information is available on the experiences of applicants and program directors (PDs) during the COVID-19 pandemic residency application cycle. This study aimed to evaluate the current perspectives of applicants and PDs regarding the orthopaedic surgery residency application process.

Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study using 2 independent but similar surveys that addressed multiple aspects of the application process during the COVID-19 pandemic, including perceived effect of virtual experiences. Between February and March 2021, the surveys were distributed to orthopaedic surgery applicants and orthopaedic residency PDs.

Results:

In total, 113 applicants (20.1%) and 29 PDs (19.6%) completed the survey. Applicants applied to 97.6 programs and received 13.3 interviews. They participated in 2.4 virtual away rotations. In total, 79.3% of programs reported offering some form of virtual opportunity, including virtual away rotations (24.0%), virtual happy hours (64.0%), and virtual conferences (64.0%). Programs offering virtual away rotations hosted 46.8 rotators and only invited back 54.5% for an interview. Applicants were most concerned about the lack of away rotations, the interview, and networking during this cycle, and 51% reported less confidence in matching. The most important factors for influencing applicant rank lists were perceived happiness of residents, resident camaraderie, and geographic location. However, residency program social events were not well replicated in a virtual setting.

Discussion:

The COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges for applicants and PDs. Applicants had less clinical exposure and received less interview invites after virtual away rotations. Despite applying to more programs, applicants received fewer interviews than in previous years. The virtual experiences adopted in this cycle did not adequately replicate the social factors that applicants found most important when ranking a program. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, PDs most highly valued away rotation performance, clinical rotation performance, and board examination scores when offering interviews.

Alles op zijn tijd. Over de opvolgende openbaarmaking van inspectierapporten en daarop gebaseerde sanctiebesluiten

Deze notenkraker bespreekt de uitspraak van de Afdeling van 9 september 2020. In die zaak komt appellant op tegen het voornemen tot openbaarmaking van een onderzoeksrapport. Hangende de procedure wordt datzelfde rapport echter ten grondslag gelegd aan een tevens openbaar gemaakt sanctiebesluit. Door die dubbele openbaarmaking van hetzelfde rapport wordt appellant onevenredig benadeeld. Alleen de openbaarmaking van een zakelijke samenvatting van het rapport zonder opname van tot de persoon herleidbare gegevens is gerechtvaardigd. Zo wordt de praktijk van ‘dubbele’ bekendmakingen van onderzoeksrapporten door de Afdeling over de band van artikel 10 lid 2 aanhef en onder g Wob ingeperkt.

The subject of the study is the history of the creation and development of civil defense activities in Poland. The issue is crucial as it illustrates the history of transformations of defense formations, such as Air and Antigas Defense, Universal Self-Defense into the Civil Defense formation, and the scope and duties of Civil Defense in the protection of property, health, and life of people in the interwar period until modern times.
Distance learning in the training of military professionals in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Woźniak Robert Piotr
Published: October 2021

The modern military requires professionals in its ranks. One of the many dimensions of professionalization is education and training aimed at building human capital. Modern equipment or specialized training devices are not sufficient for education to be effective; innovative teaching methods are also needed. Constantly growing needs in the field of education and professional development are determinants in the search for modern education forms, methods and tools adaptable to the military environment. As part of the education and professional development process, the military education units of the General Command of the Armed Forces concentrate their main efforts on the course training of soldiers and staff of the Ministry of National Defense, training of candidates for non-commissioned officers and specialized training of candidates for professional privates. As an organization, the Armed Forces must operate regardless of the emerging threats. Therefore, they must perform tasks in the most difficult and unpredictable circumstances. Paradoxically, the pandemic proved to be a catalyst for military education units to raise the level of teaching and enrich the ways of transmitting knowledge, including the popularization of distance learning. This paper discusses the distance learning model in operation at the Polish Armed Forces. The process of military professionals training using remote learning methods and techniques is characterized. Conclusions and experiences concerning the implementation of remote learning in the pandemic counteracting conditions are presented. The article also indicates the desired directions of transformation in the area of remote learning applied in the Polish Armed Forces.
Dostoiévski – Niilismo, Arte e Cristianismo
Authors: Cabral Jimmy Sudário
Published: October 2021

In this paper, the religious question in Dostoevsky's work will be addressed taking two different aspects into consideration. Firstly, the religious context of Russian Orthodoxy, as well as the space occupied by the Orthodox tradition in the Russian intelligentsia during the 19th century. It is in this context that the thought of Vladimir Soloviev are found. He was the one responsible for the first theological reading of Dostoevsky's works under the point of view of Orthodoxy and for the development of a sophisticated interweaving of religion and aesthetics. Secondly, there is an effort for displacing the author from the theological tradition of Orthodoxy and also an attempt to position Dostoevsky’s religious thought in the outlook of Modern Nihilism. The paper argues that nihilism enables the birth of a religious vocabulary which is not conditioned by the traditional theological principles commonly linked to Dostoevsky’s aesthetic and religious universe. Thus, we understand that it is on the horizon of nihilism and not within the frameworks of a traditional religion that Dostoevsky's Christianity must be interpreted.

Natural probiotics are functional foods with several biological properties and nutritional value inherent to their chemical composition and can play a potentially beneficial role in reducing the risk of chronic degenerative diseases. In order to improve the stability of these compounds, increase the encapsulating power, delay oxidation, increase their effectiveness, control their release and improve the bioavailability of their combination with nanomaterials is a potential tool in the food area enabling the development of new products with functional and nutraceutical characteristics. In addition, the study of nanomaterials in natural probiotics is rarely reported in the literature, being an area of paramount importance in the development of new functional foods. Therefore, in this chapter, a review of nanomaterials’ use in natural probiotics will be addressed to specify their advantages and methodologies of preparation and characterization.
Detection and Warning of Tsunamis Generated by Marine Landslides
Authors: Heron Mal
Published: October 2021

Seismic signals provide an effective early detection of tsunamis that are generated by earthquakes, and for epicentres in the hard-rock subduction zones there is a robust analysis procedure that uses a global network of seismometers. For earthquakes with epicentres in soft layers in the upper subduction zones the processes are slower and the seismic signals have lower frequencies. For these soft-rock earthquakes a given earthquake magnitude can produce a bigger tsunami amplitude than the same earthquake magnitude in a hard rock rupture. Numerical modelling for the propagation from earthquake-generated tsunamis can predict time of arrivals at distant coastal impact zones. A global network of deep-water pressure sensors is used to detect and confirm tsunamis in the open ocean. Submarine landslide and coastal collapse tsunamis, meteo-tsunamis, and other disturbances with no significant seismicity must rely on the deep-water pressure sensors and HF radar for detection and warning. Local observations by HF radar at key impact sites detect and confirm tsunami time and amplitude in the order of 20–60 minutes before impact. HF radar systems that were developed for mapping the dynamics of coastal currents have demonstrated a capability to detect tsunamis within about 80 km of the coast and where the water depth is less than 200 m. These systems have now been optimised for tsunami detection and some installations are operating continuously to provide real-time data into tsunami warning centres. The value of a system to warn of hazards is realised only when coastal communities are informed and aware of the dangers.
