Breaking the Closed Circle
Authors: Schroeder Brian ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2020

Levinas' philosophy is in part predicated on a retrieval or recasting of select Platonic motifs, yet his relationship to such thinking is frequently, and necessarily, ambiguous. While refraining from the often hyperbolic language of Nietzsche's reversal or inversion of "Platonism," Levinas' more sober approach effects both a radical tum away from and toward, Plato's teaching on paideia. Echoing Nietzsche's injunction that the teacher is sometimes a "necessary evil," and calling into question the visual luminescence of the so-called Platonist "doctrine" of forms (eide) and the closed interiority of the subject in which they are instilled, I propose a Levinasian-oriented metapaideiac model based on the primacy of the exteriority of hearing, and thus of dialogue, as that which comes from a height, from a nondominating "mastery." I reconsider Plato's image of paideia, the essence of which is "tuming around" and Levinas' rejection of the Socratic maieutic method of elenchus in an effort to advance the question of whether a universal conception of ethics can be taught, and if so, how teaching produces ethics.

The aim of the present study is the improvement of the learnersortography and, consequently, their Scholar Performance. The evaluation revealed the large number of mistakes that were made by the students in natural and arbitrary ortography, which affected their Scholar Performance in all areas. The application of two Programs for the Achievement of Natural and Arbitrary Ortography failed to show evidences of the improvement of the students in writing and in Scholar Performance if these specific activities were included in the Curriculum Design and in the classroom plan.
El desarrollo vocacional del adulto: la búsqueda de sí mismo en el marco de la sociedad del saber
Authors: Riverin-Simard Danielle
Published: July 2020

RÉSUMÉDans une économie du savoir, l’orientation professionnelle des adultes et la formation continue savèrent des conditions sine qua non à la viabilité et à l’évolution de nos sociétés. Mais un développement vocationnel intense et un apprentissage actifs présupposent une motivation qui s’autogénère au coeur même de la vie. Et pour mieux saisir cette volonté autogénératrice, il faut notamment approfondir les multiples dimensions du développement de l’adulte au fil des ans et de la mouvance de ses représentations de participation socio-professionnelle. Nos travaux relatifs à la vie au travail s’intéressent à ces questions. Ils ont recueilli, au Québec (Canada), les témoignages de nombreux adultes à laide d’entrevues semi-structurées. Les résultats laissent observer une transformation de soi, au quotidien, et aussi tout au long de la vie. Ils font également état de la transformation du rapport soi-société, dont un certain renouvellement du souci collectif et l’élargissement de la notion du travail.ABSTRACTIn a knowledged economy, adult vocational counseling and lifelong learning are necessary means for the socio-economic enhancement. And if we want to know how high personal development and learning motivations come from daily living, we have to analyse, among other variables, numerous aspects of longitudinal adult vocational development along the years; we also have to study the changing representations of the meaning of work. Our researches are concerned about those questions. They collected data from Quebec (Canada), which consist of numerous semi-structured interviews. The results show a continuous nonlinear adult vocational development and new elements of the individual-society relations.

Published: July 2020

RESUMENEl artículo presenta una reflexión sobre el papel del Diagnóstico en Educación en las transiciones. Las premisas clásicas del diagnóstico tradicional se desmoronan con la incorporación de nuevas consideraciones relacionadas con el carácter procesual, la impredecibilidad del futuro y cambios sociales y con las nuevas tendencias metodológicas del diagnóstico. Desde una perspectiva sistémica, se sugiere un diagnóstico centrado en dos áreas prioritarias: a) la exploración de las causas que impiden el desarrollo de los individuos y el proceso de transformación de sus habilidades y, b) el compromiso paralelo con una transformación educativa y social. Asimismo, el artículo repasa el sentido de algunos conceptos relacionados con el diagnóstico: habilidades, empowerment, crisis, experimentación, personalidad, etc.ABSTRACTThe article presents a reflection on the role of Educational Diagnosis in transitions. The classic premises of traditional diagnosis crumble with the incorporation of new considerations related with the process character, futures unpredictability and social changes, and with the new methodological tendencies of diagnosis. From a systemic perspective, it is suggested a diagnosis centred in two high priority areas: a) the exploration of causes that hinder individuals development and the process of transformation of their abilities and, b) the parallel commitment with an educational and social transformation. Likewise, the article reviews the sense of some concepts related with the diagnosis: abilities, empowerment, crisis, experimentation, personality, etc.

RESUMEN En el presente estudio se valida un instrumento de evaluación para utilizar en el contexto de orienta- ción laboral y se determinan los criterios de bondad del mismo. La muestra estaba formada por 313 individuos, el 54,6% mujeres, y la edad media en los 27 años y medio. Poseen una formación muy heterogénea, de la misma forma que su situación laboral. El instrumento presenta una serie de elementos que pretenden indagar sobre la disponibilidad de los individuos respecto a la búsqueda y consecución de empleo, y se pide al sujeto que evalué cada alternativa utilizando una escala tipo Likert de siete puntos. Los niveles de fiabilidad interna (alfa de Cronbach = 0,79) y validez de constructo (análisis factorial) resultan bastante aceptables. En función de los resultados del análisis factorial (seis factores que explican el 61,27% de la información) se realiza un análisis de cluster que permite describir distintos grupos de sujetos y analizar las similitudes y diferencias entre ellos. Posteriormente, los resultados se validaron a través de análisis discriminante El análisis de conglomerados realizado permite distinguir entre cuatro grupos de individuos: aquellos que afirman poseer disponibilidad geográfica, pero no para puestos de trabajo que requieran esfuerzo físico; los que no tienen disponibilidad geográfica ni tampoco sobre horarios de trabajo poco frecuentes; las personas que afirman tener una disponibilidad total; y las que aseguran no poseer disponibilidad en absoluto.

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio radica en profundizar sobre el comportamiento vocacional de los jóvenes madrileños de entre 14 y 18 años. A través de análisis estadísticos como la T de Student y ANOVAs realizamos una evaluación del tipo y grado de dificultades que experimentan los jóvenes en el desarrollo de su proceso de decisión vocacional, y analizamos las diferencias existentes entre éstas en función del género, el curso académico y los intereses profesionales. Para ello se ha realizado la adaptación y validación de una escala basada en la teoría del procesamiento de la información denominada Escala de Dificultades en la Toma de Decisión de la Carrera. Tras los análisis realizados observamos que en líneas generales se confirman las hipótesis planteadas ampliando el marco de la investigación en Orientación Vocacional. Finalmente se presentan las conclusiones, limitaciones e implicaciones del estudio.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to deepen on the vocational behaviour of 2.783 Spanish students aged between 14 and 18. Through statistical analysis like T Student and ANOVA, we analyze the difficulties that this sample experiments, and we investigate if it experiments different kinds or levels of difficulties based on variables like gender, academic grade, and professional interests. To do that we have adapted and validated a Career Decision-Making Questionnaire based on Processing Career Information Theory. We have confirmed the hypothesis raised, and we thus extend Vocational Guidance researches. Finally, implications for counselling and future research are also discussed.

Se analiza el acoso escolar a tres niveles diferenciados: bajo, medio y alto en las 9 escalas que componen el instrumento utilizado. También se analizan: • Los niveles de acoso escolar según el sexo. • Las habilidades sociales en función del sexo y, finalmente,• El acoso escolar en función de las habilidades sociales.ABSTRACT The bullying phenomenon is a critically important subject in educational settings as well as in society. The studies conducted in this line show that people with tendency to aggressive behaviour are charac‐ terized by a distinguishable profile: instability, irritability, external attribution, high levels of anxiety, low self‐esteem and tendency to depression. This paper arises from a descriptive study with a sample of adolescents (age from 13 to 14). It is focused on the analysis of the bullying phenomenon and the impact of specific social skills on it. Nine scales of bullying are analysed: harassment, intimidation, threats, coercions, social boycott, social exclusion, social manipulation and aggressions. Likewise, we calculated a global index of bullying, taking three different levels into account: low, medium and high. Social skills measured by the instrument are subsumed by six dimensions: self‐expression in social interactions, defence of the own rights as a consumer, expression of annoyance or disagreement, saying “no” and interrupting social interactions, asking a favour, initiating opposite-sex peer interactions.Furthermore, we performed analysis concerning the following aspects: Levels of bullying by sex. Social skills by sex, and, finally, bullying according to social skills.

Competencia socioemocional en el aula: Características del profesor que favorecen la motivación por el aprendizaje en alumnos de Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria
Authors: Núñez del Río Mª Cristina , Fontana Abad Mónica
Published: July 2020

RESUMENNo se puede negar el incremento en los diez últimos años de investigaciones y publicaciones centradas en la Competencia Socioemocional. En concreto, este estudio aborda uno de los procesos que, según Goleman (1996), forma parte del constructo Inteligencia Emocional: la motivación. Numerosos estudios tratan su relación con el rendimiento y el fracaso escolar (González, Mendiri y Arias, 2002; Brier, 2006). El aumento de los índices de desmotivación en las aulas, unido a un rendimiento académico cada vez menor en algunos grupos de alumnos —a los que se unen aspectos y situaciones familiares disfuncionales—, justifica este estudio acerca de uno de los factores que más incidencia puede tener en los alumnos y sobre el que se puede intervenir: se trata de las características de los profesores que son percibidas como motivadoras por sus alumnos. En concreto, el estudio aborda el análisis de las diferencias en función de los diferentes cursos, el sexo y los factores de motivación según la Escala de Motivación Académica (EMA, Manassero y Vázquez, 1997, 1998). Para ello, se presentan los primeros hallazgos de un estudio, con una muestra incidental de 350 alumnos de ESO, pertenecientes a dos colegios concertados de diferentes áreas de Madrid. El trabajo concluye con algunas pautas de intervención para los profesores, que se consideran recomendables en la actuación en las aulas.ABSTRACTIt can’t be denied that, in the last ten years, research and publications focusing on Social and Emotional Competencies is increasing. This study addresses one of the processes, which according to Goleman (1996), is part of the Emotional Intelligence construct: motivation. Numerous studies deal with its relationship with performance and school failure (Gonzalez, Mendiri and Arias, 2002; Brier, 2006). The increased rates of demotivation in the classroom, coupled with an increasingly lower academic performance in some groups of pupils, together with dysfunctional family situations, justify this study about one of the factors with more impact on students: the characteristics of teachers who are perceived as motivating by the students. Specifically, in this paper, the differences taking into account the courses, the sex and the motivational factors according to the Academic Motivation Scale (EMA, Manassero and Vazquez, 1997, 1998) will be analyze. For this propose, the first findings of a study, with an incidental sample of 350 students from two schools in different areas of Madrid, will be presented. The paper concludes with some recommended guidelines for intervention for teachers in the classroom.

Background/Aims: To improve the eradication rate of a first-line therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection, alternate regimens such as sequential, concomitant, and hybrid therapies have been tried. The aim of this study was to evaluate the eradication rate of the 10-day hybrid therapy as a first-line therapy.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 124 patients from the Korea University Ansan Hospital between April 2016 and December 2019. The 10-day hybrid therapy comprised 5 days of dual therapy (proton pump inhibitor [PPI] standard dose and amoxicillin 1 g, twice daily) followed by 5 days of quadruple therapy (PPI, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg, twice daily). We compared the 10-day hybrid therapy with the 10-day concomitant therapy comprising PPI, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg, twice daily. Eradication was assessed by a 13C-urea breath test or gastroscopic biopsy at least 4 weeks after treatment completion.Results: The eradication rates of the 10-day hybrid and concomitant therapies were 74.2% (46/62) and 67.7% (42/62), respectively, in the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and 88.5% (46/52) and 82.4% (42/51), respectively, in the per-protocol (PP) analysis. There was no significant difference in the eradication rates between the two groups in the ITT (P=0.429) and PP analysis (P=0.380). Adverse events developed in 75.0% and 70.6% of patients in the hybrid and concomitant groups, respectively, but there was no significant difference (P=0.615).Conclusions: The 10-day hybrid therapy can be an option for a first-line therapy of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Subcellular compartmentalization of the plant antioxidant system: an integrated overview
Authors: Bobrovskikh Aleksandr , Zubairova Ulyana , Kolodkin Alexey , Doroshkov Alexey
Published: July 2020

The antioxidant system (AOS) maintains the optimal concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a cell and protects it against oxidative stress. In plants, the AOS consists of seven main classes of antioxidant enzymes, low-molecular antioxidants (e.g., ascorbate, glutathione, and their oxidized forms) and thioredoxin/glutaredoxin systems which can serve as reducing agents for antioxidant enzymes. The number of genes encoding AOS enzymes varies between classes, and same class enzymes encoded by different gene copies may have different subcellular localizations, functional loads and modes of evolution. These facts hereafter reinforce the complex nature of AOS regulation and functioning. Further studies can describe new trends in the behavior and functioning of systems components, and provide new fundamental knowledge about systems regulation. The system is revealed to have a lot of interactions and interplay pathways between its components at the subcellular level (antioxidants, enzymes, ROS level, and hormonal and transcriptional regulation). These facts should be taken into account in further studies during the AOS modeling by describing the main pathways of generating and utilizing ROS, as well as the associated signaling processes and regulation of the system on cellular and organelle levels, which is a complicated and ambitious task. Another objective for studying the phenomenon of the AOS is related to the influence of cell dynamics and circadian rhythms on it. Therefore, the AOS requires an integrated and multi-level approach to study. We focused this review on the existing scientific background and experimental data used for the systems biology research of the plant AOS.
Influence of hydropower stations on the water microbiota in the downstream of Jinsha River, China

Published: July 2020

Construction of hydropower stations has been an important approach to meet China’s increasing power demand, but the impact of construction of hydropower stations on river microbiota is not fully understood. To evaluate this, the microbial composition from 18 sampling sites in the downstream of Jinsha River of China, upstream and downstream of two completed and two under-construction hydropower stations, were analyzed using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Three independent samples from each site were analyzed. A total of 18,683 OTUs from 1,350 genera were identified at 97% sequence similarity. Our results showed that the completion of hydropower stations would significantly increase the relative abundances of Acidobacteria, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, Nitrospirae, and Planctomycetes, especially the relative abundance of Synechococcus dOTUs and thus increase the risk of algal blooms. PCA based on all KEGG pathways and the significantly different KEGG pathways showed the predicted metabolic characteristics of the water microbiota by PICRUSt in the activated hydropower station group were significant difference to the other groups. Results from canonical correspondence analysis showed that water temperature and dissolved oxygen had significant effects on microbiota composition. These results are important for assessing the impact of hydropower stations on river microbiota and their potential environmental risks.

Isolement et proprietes de la creatine‐kinase de muscle lisse de boeuf
Authors: Focant Bruno
Published: July 2002

A method of isolation of the isoenzyme BB of creatine kinase from ox stomach is described taking into account its high instability and the presence of notable amounts of tropomyosin in vertebrate smooth muscle extracts of low ionic strength. The molecular parameters of the enzyme isolated from ox stomach do not differ from those of the creatine kinases MM and BB of vertebrates. The amino acid composition and the peptide maps reveals significant differences from that of the ox brain isoenzyme BB.
Uber die quantitative Bestimmung von Sterinderivaten in pflanzen und die intrazelluläre Verteilung der Steringlycoside in Blättern
Authors: Eichenberger W. , Grob E.C.
Published: July 2002

The contents of sterol derivatives (sterols + esters, glycosides and acylated glycosides) have been determined using thin layer chromatography in leaves and bulky and organs from carrots (Daucus carota L.) potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), onion (Allium cepa L.) two varieties of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and Gentiana purpurea L. plants. Ether‐soluble lipids of leaves contain 2.8–5.2%, those of storage tissue 3.1–8.9% sterol derivatives. The fractionation of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., Burpee's Ruby Red) leaf homogenates indicates steryl glycosides to be accumulated in a microsomal fraction.
Utilisation de la centrifugation analytique pour la mesure, au sein d'un extrait brut d'E. coli, du coefficient de sédimentation du complexe de décarboxylation oxidative du pyruvate
Authors: Schmitt B. , Kolb H. , Cohen R.
Published: July 2002

We have applied successfully the active enzyme analytical centrifugation method (A.E.C.) to the study of the well known pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (P.D.C.) in crude extracts from E. coli. It is not possible to study the complex in a spectrophotometer (through its dehydrogenase activity) due to NADH oxidase activities. The A.E.C. method, which overcomes this difficulty, can also be viewed as a refined spectrophotometric method.
Nuclear glycogen synthase — fact or artifact?
Authors: Kopun Marijana , Spring Herbert , Granzow Christof
Published: July 2002

According to Oron [FEBS Lett. (1980) 118, 255–258], nuclear glycogen synthase represents an artifact of preparation in rat liver nuclei. We investigated the nuclei isolated from in vitro growing HD33 ascites cells with exclusively cytoplasmic, and from in vivo growing HD33 Ehrlich—Lettré ascites tumor cells with mainly intranuclear, glycogen deposition. Biochemical and ultracytochemical analyses revealed the complete absence of any contamination of the isolated nuclei by cytoplasmic glycogen particles and associated glycogen synthase activity. The glycogen synthase residing in isolated nuclei of in vivo growing HD33 ascites tumor cells represents a truly nuclear enzyme activity
Uridine as the only alternative to pyrimidine de novo synthesis in rat T lymphocytes
Authors: Bismuth Georges , Thuillier Laure , Perignon Jean-Louis , Cartier Pierre H.
Published: July 2002

Concanavalin A‐induced proliferation of rat T‐lymphocytes is completely inhibited by 10−5 M pyrazofurin, a potent inhibitor of pyrimidine de novo synthesis, as judged by cell viability and [3H]thymidine incorporation. Proliferation is completely restored by 5 × 10−5 M uridine. Cytidine, deoxycytidine, deoxyuridine and thymidine 10 × 10−5 M each, fail to re‐establish proliferation but produce an isotropic dilution of [3H]thymidine uptake in DNA. Bases (cytosine, uracil and thymine) neither restore proliferation nor induce isotopic dilution. The unexpected inability of cytidine to reverse de novo pyrimidine synthesis inhibition suggests a lack of cytidine deaminase activity in rat T‐lymphocytes. This is confirmed by a direct sensitive radioisotopic assay (<0.001 nmol.min−1.10−6 cells).
The effects of glucocorticoids on thymidine kinase and nucleoside phosphotransferase during development of chicken embryo retina
Authors: Tesoriere G. , Tesoriere Luisa , Giuliano M. , Vento R.
Published: July 2002

Thymidine kinase in chick embryo retina reaches its highest values on the 8–10th day of development, then declines reaching the lowest value at hatching. The rate of DNA synthesis essentially follows this activity while, in contrast, nucleoside phosphotransferase increases progressively during development. Glucocorticoids at 5 × 10−6M lower the level of thymidine kinase in isolated retinas of chick embryo. The most effective steroid was hydrocortisone. The effect was observed in retinas from 8–18‐day‐old chick embryo and, except on the 18th day, was always of the same magnitude. We suggest that a glucocorticoid can be the natural factor responsible for the marked fall in thymidine kinase during development. Brief periods of exposure to steriods increase nucleoside phosphotransferase activity in isolated chick embryo retinas. When the exposure was longer than 3 h this activity was also clearly decreased. We conclude that other factors are responsible for the natural increment which occurs for this activity during development.
Modification of Photosystem II by phenylglyoxal
Authors: Gardner Gary , Allen Cheryl D. , Paterson David R.
Published: July 2002

Shipman [(1981) J. Theor. Biol. 90, 123–148] has recently noted that herbicides from various chemical classes which inhibit electron transport through Photosystem II have a flat polar component in the range 3–5 debye, and he suggests that this component of the herbicide interacts with a strong electric field across the protein binding site in the thylakoid. This polar portion of the binding site could be a salt bridge, the cationic end of which may be an arginine residue. Phenylglyoxal is a protein‐modifying reagent with specificity toward arginine residues. Pretreatment of chloroplast membranes with 50 mM phenylglyoxal for 30 min at 30°C completely abolished the ability to bind specifically [14C]atrazine. Pretreatment with 50 mM phenylglyoxal also completely abolished the subsequent ability of the chloroplasts to carry out photosynthetic electron transport. These data provide strong evidence for the involvement of arginine residues in the binding and action of Photosystem II herbicides.
An adipogenic serum factor in genetically obese rodents
Authors: Löffler G. , Feick P. , Hauner H. , Herberg L.
Published: July 2002

The adipose conversion of 3T3‐Li cells depends on a serum factor present in high amounts in fetal calf serum, which is heat stable and can be extracted from serum by ethanol precipitation. Sera of two genetically obese rodent species, fa/fa Zucker rats and C57Bl/KsJ‐db/db mice, contain a high adipogenic activity which is very similar to that found in fetal calf serum. In contrast, sera of their lean siblings (Fa/Fa‐Zucker rats and C57Bl/KsJ‐+/+ mice) are devoid of adipogenic activity.
Biogenesis of methane in primate dental plaque
Authors: Kemp C.W. , Curtis M.A. , Robrish S.A. , Bowen W.H.
Published: July 2002

Dental plaque samples collected from monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were found to contain a large amount of dissolved methane gas (0.6 nmol CH4/mg wet wt plaque). Enrichment cultures inoculated with dental plaque obtained from Macaca fascicularis produced methane when the medium contained ethanol, methanol, lactate, acetate or a hydrogen + CO2 atmosphere. Methane formation in the enrichments was inhibited by oxidation of the culture medium, autoclaving or the addition of 2‐bromoethane sulfonic acid (BES). The methane producing enrichments were observed to contain fluorescent cocci occurring singly and in short chains. It was concluded that methane formation in the monkey dental plaque was the result of the presence of methanogenic bacteria.
