The language policy of the states directly depends on the degree of prevalence of the multiculturalism and multilingualism on its territory. A balanced approach to language policy is a guarantee of stability in the country. The article provides a comparative analysis of the national and linguistic composition of the population in the European Union, Russia, Romania and Moldova. For a century and a half, the approach to assessing multiculturalism has changed. Initially, it was a fundamental idea for the formation of philosophical and social humanism, now it is a feature in postmigrant communities. National minorities are divided into “old” (settled) and “new” (migrants) ones. Multiculturalism is accompanied by multilingualism (polylingualism, multilingualism). It provides for the use by an individual, a group of people of several languages, each of which is selected in accordance with a specific communicative situation.

Active Ignorance, Antiracism, and the Psychology of White Shame
Authors: Peck Eliana
Published: June 2021

Active white ignorance is accompanied by an epistemic and affective insensitivity that allows American white people to avoid the negative affect that might typically accompany harmdoing. Resisting active ignorance about racism and white supremacy, therefore, often gives rise to shame. Yet, thinkers have debated the value of shame for white people's antiracism. This article asserts that shame is an appropriate response for white people recognizing our culpability for and complicity in racist injustices and violence. However, the article exposes problems with philosophical accounts of white shame, and draws on recent psychological research to show that contextual factors actually determine whether shame can support white antiracism. The article proposes a role for shame in what José Medina calls an “ethics and epistemology of discomfort,” arguing that there are conditions under which shame may encourage the sustained self-interrogation, sensitivity, and humility required if white people are to contribute meaningfully to antiracist action.

O objetivo da pesquisa é descrever o perfil das adolescentes gestantes atendidas nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde em um município da Amazônia Ocidental Brasileira. Para isso, utilizou-se um estudo descritivo com a população de adolescentes grávidas na faixa etária de 10 a 19 anos. As variáveis analisadas foram agrupadas em dois blocos: Sociodemográficas e características reprodutivas. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário estruturado, contendo perguntas abertas e fechadas. As entrevistas foram realizadas no período de 01 de agosto a 30 de dezembro de 2013. Para a análise estatística, utilizou-se o software SPSS 16.0 for Windows. A população deste estudo foi constituída por 92 primigestas com idades entre 13 e 19 anos. As adolescentes grávidas residiam, em sua maioria, na zona urbana, se autodeclararam pardas, não concluíram o segundo grau, interromperam os estudos devido à gravidez, moravam com o companheiro e recebiam menos de um salário-mínimo. A maior parte informou menarca até os 13 anos de idade e sexarca, em média, aos 16. E, apesar de relatarem ter adquirido conhecimento sobre métodos contraceptivos na escola e de não ter desejo de engravidar, não faziam uso dos métodos. Conclui-se que se faz necessário um planejamento e/ou estratégia para trabalhar esta temática com mais ênfase entre os adolescentes, estabelecendo parcerias com as instituições de saúde e as escolas, a fim de que, definam metodologias atrativas e convincentes para melhor trabalhar com estes jovens, evitando assim, os problemas físicos, emocionais e sociais que podem advir de uma gravidez na adolescência.

Published: June 2021

Considerando a relevância em traçar estratégias para prevenção da cárie em crianças assim como a dificuldade de amostras de crianças inseridas em programas de prevenção controlados com acompanhamento superior a 10 anos, desenvolvemos o estudo a seguir. Objetivo: investigar a associação entre a incidência de cárie em crianças e o número de consultas clínicas preventivas e o período de seguimento (intervalos). Desenho do estudo: uma coorte de 30 anos composta pelos registros dentários de 600 crianças que tinham 12-23 meses de idade em sua primeira consulta odontológica e que foram acompanhadas até os 12 anos de idade (200 acompanhadas desde 1981, Grupo 1; 200 acompanhadas desde 1991, Grupo 2; e 200 acompanhados desde 2001, Grupo 3) foi avaliada analiticamente e quantitativamente. O cálculo da amostra aleatória foi realizado com 95% de confiança, erro máximo de 2,95% e proporção de 50%. Resultados: foi encontrada associação entre a incidência de cárie e o número de consultas odontológicas e intervalos de consulta. Crianças que realizaram menor número de consultas preventivas apresentaram maior incidência da doença. Crianças que tiveram um intervalo entre os retornos maior que 12 meses tiveram um risco de cárie 18,7 vezes maior em comparação às crianças que tiveram intervalos não superiores a 8 meses entre os retornos. Conclusões: as consultas preventivas com intervalo médio de até 8 meses pareceram aumentar a adesão da família aos procedimentos preventivos e atuaram como fator de proteção contra a incidência de cárie em crianças.
A PERFORMANCE MERCANTILISTA DAS PRINCIPAIS IGREJAS NEOPENTECOSTAIS BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Lúcio Paulo Jorge
Published: June 2021

Este capítulo analisa a questão do comércio da fé supostamente praticado pelo Neopentecostalismo. A base do discurso mercantilista neopentecostal é a Teologia da Prosperidade, uma ideologia que dá ao fiel o direito de obter de Deus a felicidade plena ainda aqui na Terra, como saúde, enriquecimento e harmonia familiar. A condição para o recebimento dessas bênçãos é a fidelidade no pagamento dos dízimos e das ofertas especiais. Quanto mais se dá, mais se é abençoado. Ao que parece, a mercantilização da fé contraria a proposta de Jesus que, ao expulsar os vendilhões e cambistas do templo, teria deixado claro que o Templo não deveria submeter-se ao Mercado. Entretanto, com sua mensagem de prosperidade, o Neopentecostalismo se alinhou com a ideologia neoliberal transformando a fé num produto e os crentes em consumidores desse produto.

A pesquisa serviu-se de indivíduos de ambos os gêneros, oriundos de todas as séries do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública da periferia de Pelotas-RS. Detectou-se que a aprovação, reprovação, transferências e evasão escolar podem estar relacionadas ao uso de marcadores linguísticos entre os gêneros, determinados pela linguagem, cultura e identidade. Estes são fatores sociolinguísticos apontados como possíveis causas de que o desempenho escolar de meninos seja pior do que o de meninas. O procedimento metodológico utilizado foi o método quantitativo correlacionado com os estudos sociolinguísticos labovianos. Os dados foram colhidos através de um Banco de Dados de Demografia Escolar (BDDE) e por um estudo complementar da língua escrita, baseado em redações de alunos em sala de aula. A análise tomou como parâmetro as contribuições de especialistas sociolinguistas. Os principais resultados auferidos destacam que a escola desenvolve um modelo pedagógico que privilegia uma língua padrão que favorece o gênero feminino, isto está demonstrado pelo baixo desempenho escolar dos adolescentes do gênero masculino; as meninas têm melhor índice de desempenho escolar na faixa etária entre dez e onze anos e os meninos pré-adolescentes nesta mesma faixa etária têm seu desempenho escolar prejudicado, porque não se adaptam ao ambiente escolar; a linguagem, cultura e identidade, podem influenciar nas altas taxas de reprovação; os meninos e pré adolescentes perdem o interesse pelo estudo, têm dificuldade de acompanhar os conteúdos do currículo escolar, têm baixa estima.

‘Mutual Prodrug’ and approach to increase the effectiveness of Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Authors: Manish S. Junagade  , Anju Goyal
Published: June 2021

A clinically useful drug may have limitations in practice because of undesirable side effects, poor solubility, and poor bioavailability, short duration of action, first-pass effect, poor absorption & adverse effects. There are increased efforts in research to increase the therapeutic efficacy of drugs by eliminating or minimizing the undesirable properties of drug molecules. Some of the problems can be solved using a formulation development approach but in some cases, chemical modification in the molecule is necessary to correct the pharmacokinetic parameters. One of the approaches to convert the existing molecule to a more efficient molecule is prodrug design. Mutual Prodrug is the molecule in which an active drug molecule is attached to a carrier molecule having pharmacological activity. So a mutual prodrug consists of two pharmacologically active molecules connected by a bio labile linkage. Both molecules in this act as a pro moiety of each other. The design of mutual prodrug is very fruitful in the area of research & has given successful results in increasing the clinical & therapeutic effectiveness of the drugs. The present article takes a review of various applications of mutual prodrugs & development in this field in the last few decades.

Self and identity in personality psychology
Authors: McAdams Dan P. , Trzesniewski Kali , Lilgendahl Jennifer , Benet-Martinez Veronica , Robins Richard W.
Published: June 2021

Research on self and identity has greatly enhanced personality science by directing inquiry more deeply into the person’s conscious mind and more expansively outward into the social environments that contextualize individual differences in behavior, thought, and feeling. After delineating key concepts and offering reasons why personality psychologists should care about self and identity processes, we highlight important empirical discoveries that are of special relevance to personality science in the areas of (1) self-insight, (2) self-conscious emotions, (3) self-esteem, (4) narrative identity, and (5) the role of culture in shaping self, identity, and the integration of personality. We anticipate that future research will also move vigorously to (1) develop more comprehensive and precise accounts of how life experiences influence the development of self and identity, (2) explore more fully how the brain builds a sense of self, and (3) harness what we know about self and identity to improve people’s lives and promote personality development.

Network Theory of Antenna Arrays
Authors: Warnick Karl F.
Published: June 2021

The microwave network theory of antenna arrays improves on the classical array factor modeling approach by including in the analysis the effects of mutual coupling between array elements. Network theory allows numerical simulations of antenna arrays to be combined with network models for transmitter and receiver electronics to provide a full model for the signal and noise response of the system. The network theory framework provides definitions for active array figures of merit, such as aperture efficiency, receiving efficiency, and noise‐matching efficiency, and can be used to link the array system model with the analytical tools of array signal processing and statistically optimal beamformer design. An application is given to high‐sensitivity array feed receivers used for radio astronomy.

The interdisciplinary field known as digital humanities (DH) is represented in various forms in the teaching and research practiced in iSchools. Building on the work of an iSchools organization committee charged with exploring digital humanities curricula, we present findings from a series of related studies exploring aspects of DH teaching, education, and research in iSchools, often in collaboration with other units and disciplines. Through a survey of iSchool programs and an online DH course registry, we investigate the various education models for DH training found in iSchools, followed by a detailed look at DH courses and curricula, explored through analysis of course syllabi and course descriptions. We take a brief look at collaborative disciplines with which iSchools cooperate on DH research projects or in offering DH education. Next, we explore DH careers through an analysis of relevant job advertisements. Finally, we offer some observations about the management and administrative challenges and opportunities related to offering a new iSchool DH program. Our results provide a snapshot of the current state of digital humanities in iSchools which may usefully inform the design and evolution of new DH programs, degrees, and related initiatives.

Published: June 2021

The immobilization of the biocatalysts onto magnetic nanoparticles has been extensively applied as the external magnetic field facilitates the enzyme recovery from the reaction mixture. In the present study, glutaraldehyde‐modified magnetite‐cornstarch nanoparticles (MCNs) were successfully synthesized, elaborately characterized by ZetaSizer and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and used for the immobilization of a thermoalkalophilic esterase from Geobacillus sp. The optimal immobilization conditions were obtained at 65°C, 2:3 molar ratios of Fe2+:Fe3+, and 1 g cornstarch resulted in approximately 90 nm magnetic particles in size. Also, immobilization yield and immobilization efficiency of the esterase were found as 74% and 82%, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed that MCNs were uniform, spherical in shape, and well dispersed and esterase immobilized MCNs displayed similar morphology as free MCNs. The maximum activity of free and immobilized esterase was obtained at 65°C and pH 9. Immobilization onto glutaraldehyde‐modified MCNs significantly enhanced the esterase thermostability. Additionally, the immobilized esterase kept its residual activity of 75% after three sequential cycles, suggesting that it has favorable operational stability.
The effect of action observation on aesthetic preference of Chinese calligraphy: An fMRI study
Authors: He Mingcheng , Zhang Wei , Deng Jiamin , He Xianyou
Published: June 2021

Introduction

There is some evidence suggesting that movement perception has an effect on aesthetic experience. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the observation of creators’ creative action (the process that calligraphers create calligraphy) remain unclear.

Methods

In this study, participants were scanned with fMRI while performing aesthetic judgments on Chinese calligraphy images with/without action observation.

Results

Behavioral results showed that both the work by the expert and novice with action observation were rated significantly higher on aesthetic preference than those without action observation. Imaging results showed that brain regions associated with perceptual, cognitive, and emotional processing were commonly activated by calligraphy images with/without action observation. However, compared with no action observation, aesthetic judgments of calligraphy images with action observation elicited stronger activation in the anterior cingulate cortex and the bilateral insula. Meanwhile, the superior parietal lobe which is associated with relevant inner action imitation, was also activated when observing the creator's action.

Conclusions

Brain activation in the superior parietal lobe, anterior cingulate cortex, and the bilateral insula indicated that observing the creative action of the creators contributed to the aesthetic experience of the observer.
A pipelining strategy for accelerating convolution neural networks on ARM CPUs

Published: June 2021

Convolution is a primary operation in convolution neural networks. The speed of inference is mainly decided by the speed of the convolutional layer. Improving the performance of embedded processors makes it possible to process the inference on embedded devices. In this article, a pipelining strategy of single instruction and multiple data (SIMD) instructions is proposed to finely optimize the process of the 3 × 3 convolution on ARM‐based CPUs. We implement the SIMD group to improve the efficiency of the SIMD pipeline. A tiling method is exploited to increase data reuse during the process. An evaluation model is proposed to guide the design of the tiling method and register allocation. The speed of our implementation is 5.18 times of the GNU compiler collection compiled unoptimized version on RK3288. The effect of our optimizing method is measured by a performance profiling tool, the performance information suggests that the pipelining strategy has a significant effect for both normal and depthwise separable convolution. By implementing multithread processing, the speedup achieves 18.3 compared with the single thread unoptimized version.

Published: June 2021

In recent years, applying Internet of Things (IoT) applications has significantly increased to facilitate and improve quality of human life activities in various fields such as healthcare, education, industry, economics, etc. The energy aware cloud‐edge computing paradigm has developed as a hybrid computing solution to provide IoT applications using available cloud service providers and fog nodes for the smart devices and mobile applications. Since the IoT applications are developed in the form of several IoT services with various quality of service (QoS) metrics which can deploy on the cloud‐edge providers with different resource capabilities, finding an efficient placement solution as one of challenging topics to be measured for IoT applications. The service placement issue arranges IoT applications on the cloud‐edge providers with various capabilities of atomic services though sufficient different QoS factors to support service level agreement (SLA) contracts. This paper presents a technical analysis on the cloud‐edge service placement approaches in IoT systems. The key point of this technical analysis is to identify substantial studies in the service placement approaches which need additional consideration to progress more efficient and effective placement strategies in IoT environments. In addition, a side‐by‐side taxonomy is proposed to categorize the relevant studies on cloud‐edge service placement approaches and algorithms. A statistical and technical analysis of reviewed existing approaches is provided, and evaluation factors and attributes are discussed. Finally, open issues and forthcoming challenges of service placement approaches are presented.

The host‐associated microbiome is an important player in the ecology and evolution of species. Despite growing interest in the medical, veterinary, and conservation communities, there remain numerous questions about the primary factors underlying microbiota, particularly in wildlife. We bridged this knowledge gap by leveraging microbial, genetic, and observational data collected in a wild, pedigreed population of gray wolves (Canis lupus) inhabiting Yellowstone National Park. We characterized body site‐specific microbes across six haired and mucosal body sites (and two fecal samples) using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. At the phylum level, we found that the microbiome of gray wolves primarily consists of Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, and Proteobacteria, consistent with previous studies within Mammalia and Canidae. At the genus level, we documented body site‐specific microbiota with functions relevant to microenvironment and local physiological processes. We additionally employed observational and RAD sequencing data to examine genetic, demographic, and environmental correlates of skin and gut microbiota. We surveyed individuals across several levels of pedigree relationships, generations, and social groups, and found that social environment (i.e., pack) and genetic relatedness were two primary factors associated with microbial community composition to differing degrees between body sites. We additionally reported body condition and coat color as secondary factors underlying gut and skin microbiomes, respectively. We concluded that gray wolf microbiota resemble similar host species, differ between body sites, and are shaped by numerous endogenous and exogenous factors. These results provide baseline information for this long‐term study population and yield important insights into the evolutionary history, ecology, and conservation of wild wolves and their associated microbes.
