Seeds quality of the domestic millet (Panicum virgatum L.) depending on the scariﬁcation mode
Authors: Dryga V.
Published: July 2020

The aim of the research is determination of millet seed scariﬁcation eﬃciency depending on the modes – the amount of seeds surface removal.
Scariﬁcation implies mechanical damage to the solid seed coat surface and its partial removal is applied to increase the intensity of seed germination. Studies oo implying this method on the millet seeds of the rod-shaped millet have shown that the seeds germination energy and sprouting signiﬁcantly increase. On average for 15 experiments, these indicators increased by 7 % compared to the control – without scariﬁcation. A comprehensive study of the eﬀect of scariﬁcation and vegetation years on germination energy and seed germination revealed that both the vegetation years and scariﬁcation inﬂuence these parameters. The share of factors inﬂuence on the seeds germination showed that the "vegetation year" factor was the dominant and made 70.9 %, the impact of scariﬁcation factor made only 6.9 %. The seeds quality in both control and scariﬁcation variants varied signiﬁcantly depending on the vegetation years of the millet. The highest germination energy and sprouting were in the seeds of the seventh year, the lowest – the fourth year of the crop vegetation.
To investigate the impact of scariﬁcation on the seeds quality, a series of one-factor experiments were conducted in which the seeds of one batch were used. It is found that scariﬁcation with removing 2.8–8.8 % of the seed coat, provided a signiﬁcant increase in seed germination compared to the control (without scariﬁcation). Removal of 8.8 % of the seed coat surface provided 9 % increase in germination energy and 6 % in sprouting increase; removal of 2.8 % of the surface provided germination energy increased by 11 % and sprouting increase by 8 %. The impact of the scariﬁcation factor on the germination energy and sprouting was signiﬁcant and amounted to 50.0 and 84.0 %, respectively.
The application of scariﬁcation of the millet seed provides a reliable increase in its germination energy and sprouting, but this method does not solve the problem of reducing the seeds biological dormancy, so it is advisable to continue the study on the nature of the seed dormancy in order to clarify tme possibility of managing this phenomenon and improve the technology of obtaining suﬃcient amount of high germination seeds.
Key words: sprouting, germination energy, scariﬁcation, seed coat, seed mass.

In parallel with the economic, social, cultural, technological and environmental changes in the world, design education is undergoing a transformation. Design education has changed with this transformation, focusing on development of new strategies and tactics based on different areas.Today, with the rapidly developing technology, the problem of design education continues to be a current issue. Therefore, it is not enough to find a solution to the problems that are encountered by gaining different perspectives by looking at past experiences. Firstly, it is necessary to take different steps, develop different strategies and take advantage of different areas with developing technology. One of these areas required in design education is ergonomics.Having ergonomics in design education brings a different perspective that aims to increase students' awareness levels, their understanding and ability and suggests human-oriented movement in designs. Ergonomic design education offers the student an experience environment and education process that not only provides information but makes students think, questions them, develops their creative potential, reveals safe environments and designs, suggests productivity and targets human focus.In this context, what is the rationale for including ergonomics in design curricula? in this study, the changing conditions of formal ergonomics teaching in the design-related undergraduate curricula of Faculties of Fine Arts in Turkey and Romania were investigated, and the perceived importance of ergonomics teaching from the perspective of students was revealed. In this context, the study firstly examined the place of ergonomics in design education, and an analysis was carried out on how ergonomics is included in today’s training methods applied in modern design education in Turkey and Romania. At the same time, the perceived importance of ergonomics teaching from students' point of view was revealed.

Published: July 2020

More than 60 % of all depressive syndromes are reactive depression, which occurs in response to internal and external influences. One of the variants of reactive depression is drug-induced (drug-induced) or iatrogenic depression, which is a possible side effect of a number of medications. Depressogenic effect is described in both psychotropic and somatotropic drugs. Depressions that occur when using psychotropic drugs are most often associated with the duration of administration and large doses of the drug. Some antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, hypolipidemic drugs, antibiotics, hormones, antiparkinsonian drugs and antineoplastic agents are most often mentioned in the series of somatotropic drugs that have a depressogenic effect. Drug-induced depression is one of the most controversial issues. this article presents a systematization of available literature data on depression associated with taking various drugs.

Published: July 2020

We synthesized and determined the antioxidant activity and distribution of a new cyanothiophene-based compound, N-(3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-3,5-dihydroxybenzamide (SIM-53B), in intact stripped olive oil-in-water emulsion. The in vitro antioxidant properties of SIM-53B were evaluated and compared to those for Trolox and resveratrol. Addition of an emulsifier (Tween 20) creates a narrow region, the aqueous–oil interface, and the distribution of SIM-53B can be described by two partition constants: PWI (between aqueous/interfacial regions) and POI (between oil/interfacial regions). The effects of emulsifier concentration expressed in terms of the volume fraction, ΦI, and O/W ratio were also evaluated on its distribution. SIM-53B is predominantly distributed (>90%) in the interfacial region of 1:9 (O/W) olive oil-in-water emulsions at the lowest emulsifier volume fraction (ΦI = 0.005) and only a small fraction is located in the aqueous (<5%) and the oil (<5%) regions. Besides, the concentration of SIM-53B in the interfacial region of the emulsions is ~170–190-fold higher than the stoichiometric concentration, emphasizing the compartmentalization effects. Results suggest that the emulsifier volume fraction is a key parameter that may modulate significantly its concentration in the interface. Our study suggests that cyanothiophene-based compounds may be interesting additives for potential lipid protection in biomembranes or other lipid-based systems.

Published: July 2020

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are involved in important processes of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), including malignancy and invasion. EV secreted by glioblastoma cells may cross the hematoencephalic barrier and carry molecular cargo derived from the tumor into the peripheral circulation. Therefore, the determination of the molecular composition of exosomes released by glioblastoma cells seems to be a promising approach for the development of non-invasive methods of the detection of the specific exosomal protein markers in the peripheral blood. The present study aimed to determine the common exosomal proteins presented in preparations from different cell lines and search potential glioblastoma biomarkers in exosomes. We have performed proteomics analysis of exosomes obtained from the conditioned culture medium of five glioblastoma cell lines. A list of 133 proteins common for all these samples was generated. Based on the data obtained, virtual two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) maps of proteins presented in exosomes of glioblastoma cells were constructed and the gene ontology (GO) analysis of exosome proteins was performed. A correlation between overexpressed in glial cell proteins and their presence in exosomes have been found. Thus, the existence of many potential glioblastoma biomarkers in exosomes was confirmed.

Published: July 2020

The mechanisms of soil Cd and Pb alterations and distribution following biochar (BC; 0 to 40 t ha−1) amendments applied (in either 2009 [long-term] or in 2016 [short-term]) to a contaminated rice paddy soil, and subsequent plant Cd and Pb tissue distribution over time was investigated. Water-soluble Cd and Pb concentrations decreased by 6.7–76.0% (short-term) and 10.3–88.1% (long-term) with biochar application compared to the control. The soil exchangeable metal fractions (i.e., considered more available) decreased, and the residual metal fractions (i.e., considered less available) increased with short- and long-term biochar amendments, the latter likely a function of biochar increasing pH and forcing Cd and Pb to form crystal mineral lattice associations. Biochar application reduced Cd (16.1–84.1%) and Pb (4.1–40.0%) transfer from root to rice grain, with rice Cd and Pb concentrations lowered to nearly Chinese national food safety standards. Concomitantly, soil organic matter (SOM), pH and soil water content increased by 3.9–49.3%, 0.05–0.35 pH units, and 3.8–77.4%, respectively, with increasing biochar application rate. Following biochar applications, soil microbial diversity (Shannon index) also increased (0.8–46.2%) and soil enzymatic activities were enhanced. Biochar appears to play a pivotal role in forcing Cd and Pb sequestration in contaminated paddy soils, reducing heavy metal transfer to rice grain, and potentially leading to reduced heavy metal consumption by humans.

Published: July 2020

Forging at room temperature was applied on the per-extruded Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy to investigate the effect of cold forging on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Abundant micro shear bands with misorientations of 2–15° were generated in the as forged alloys. Tremendous enhancement in tensile yield strength was achieved after forging. With a quantitative investigation, micro band boundaries were considered to provide a great contribution to the reinforcement. The ultrafine structure resulting from the formation of micro shear bands led to increased corrosion resistance of the alloy.
Q-Curve and Area Rules for Choosing Heuristic Parameter in Tikhonov Regularization
Authors: Raus Toomas , Hämarik Uno
Published: July 2020

We consider choice of the regularization parameter in Tikhonov method if the noise level of the data is unknown. One of the best rules for the heuristic parameter choice is the quasi-optimality criterion where the parameter is chosen as the global minimizer of the quasi-optimality function. In some problems this rule fails. We prove that one of the local minimizers of the quasi-optimality function is always a good regularization parameter. For the choice of the proper local minimizer we propose to construct the Q-curve which is the analogue of the L-curve, but on the x-axis we use modified discrepancy instead of discrepancy and on the y-axis the quasi-optimality function instead of the norm of the approximate solution. In the area rule we choose for the regularization parameter such local minimizer of the quasi-optimality function for which the area of the polygon, connecting on Q-curve this minimum point with certain maximum points, is maximal. We also provide a posteriori error estimates of the approximate solution, which allows to check the reliability of the parameter chosen heuristically. Numerical experiments on an extensive set of test problems confirm that the proposed rules give much better results than previous heuristic rules. Results of proposed rules are comparable with results of the discrepancy principle and the monotone error rule, if the last two rules use the exact noise level.
Application of Recursive Theory of Slow Viscoelastic Flow to the Hydrodynamics of Second-Order Fluid Flowing through a Uniformly Porous Circular Tube
Authors: Bhatti Kaleemullah , Siddiqui Abdul Majeed , Bano Zarqa
Published: July 2020

Slow velocity fluid flow problems in small diameter channels have many important applications in science and industry. Many researchers have modeled the flow through renal tubule, hollow fiber dialyzer and flat plate dialyzer using Navier Stokes equations with suitable simplifying assumptions and boundary conditions. The aim of this article is to investigate the hydrodynamical aspects of steady, axisymmetric and slow flow of a general second-order Rivlin-Ericksen fluid in a porous-walled circular tube with constant wall permeability. The governing compatibility equation have been derived and solved analytically for the stream function by applying Langlois recursive approach for slow viscoelastic flows. Analytical expressions for velocity components, pressure, volume flow rate, fractional reabsorption, wall shear stress and stream function have been obtained correct to third order. The effects of wall Reynolds number and certain non-Newtonian parameters have been studied and presented graphically. The obtained analytical expressions are in agreement with the existing solutions in literature if non-Newtonian parameters approach to zero. The solutions obtained in this article may be considered as a generalization to the existing work. The results indicate that there is a significant dependence of the flow variables on the wall Reynolds number and non-Newtonian parameters.

Published: July 2020

Penicillin non-susceptible Streptococcus agalactiae (PEN-NS GBS) has been increasingly reported, with multidrug-resistant (MDR) GBS documented in Japan. Here we identified two PEN-NS GBS strains during our surveillance studies: one from a patient’s wound and the other from a tilapia. The patient’s GBS (H21) and fish GBS (F49) were serotyped and tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Whole-genome sequencing was performed to find the sequence type, antimicrobial resistance genes, and mutations in penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance genes. H21 and F49 belonged to ST651, serotype Ib, and ST7, serotype Ia, respectively. H21 showed PEN and cefotaxime minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 2.0 mg/L. F49 showed PEN MIC 0.5 mg/L. H21 was MDR with ermB, lnuB, tetS, ant6-Ia, sat4a, and aph3-III antimicrobial resistance genes observed. Alignment of PBPs showed the combination of PBP1B (A95D) and 2B mutations (V80A, S147A, S160A) in H21 and a novel mutation in F49 at N192S in PBP2B. Alignment of FQ-resistant determinants revealed mutation sites on gyrA, gyrB, and parC and E in H21. To our knowledge, this is the first report of GBS isolates with such high penicillin and cefotaxime MICs. This raises the concern of emergence of MDR and PEN-NS GBS in and beyond healthcare facilities.
Molecular Identification and Dual Functions of Two Different CXC Chemokines in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Streptococcus agalactiae and Flavobacterium columnare
Authors: Nakharuthai Chatsirin , Srisapoome Prapansak
Published: July 2020

Two CXC chemokines in Nile tilapia (On-CXC1 and On-CXC2) were identified at both the genomic and proteomic levels. A southern blot analysis and comparison searching in Ensembl confirmed the typical structure of the CXC chemokine genes and provided evidence for unusual mechanisms used to generate the two different CXC chemokine transcripts that have not been reported in other vertebrate species so far. The expression levels of On-CXC1 and On-CXC2 were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. These two mRNAs were detected in various tissues of normal Nile tilapia, especially in the spleen, heart, and head kidney, indicating a homeostatic function in immunosurveillance. A time-course experiment clearly demonstrated that these two transcripts were effectively enhanced in the head kidney, spleen and trunk kidney of Nile tilapia 6, 12 and 24 h after injection with Streptococcus agalactiae but were down-regulated in all tested tissues at 48 h, reflecting the fact that they have short half-lives during the crucial response to pathogens that is characteristic of CXC chemokine genes in other vertebrates. Functional analyses obviously exhibited that these two CXC chemokines at concentrations of 1–10 μg strongly inactivated S. agalactiae and Flavobacterium columnare and effectively induced phagocytosis of leukocytes in vitro.

Published: July 2020

Mongolia has a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the second highest incidence of gastric cancer worldwide. Thus, investigating the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and its underlying genetic mechanism is necessary. We isolated 361 H. pylori strains throughout Mongolia. Agar dilution assays were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of five antibiotics; amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, and minocycline. The genetic determinants of antibiotic resistance were identified with next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the CLC Genomics Workbench. The resistance to metronidazole, levofloxacin, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and minocycline was 78.7%, 41.3%, 29.9%, 11.9% and 0.28%, respectively. Multidrug resistance was identified in 51.3% of the isolates investigated which were further delineated into 9 antimicrobial resistance profiles. A number of known antibiotic resistance mutations were identified including rdxA, frxA (missense, frameshift), gyrA (N87K, A88P, D91G/N/Y), 23S rRNA (A2143G), pbp1A (N562Y), and 16S rRNA (A928C). Furthermore, we detected previously unreported mutations in pbp1A (L610*) and the 23S rRNA gene (A1410G, C1707T, A2167G, C2248T, and C2922T). The degree of antibiotic resistance was high, indicating the insufficiency of standard triple therapy in Mongolia.
Determination of trace element composition. Clinical and laboratory algorithms. Rationale for the determination of trace elements in humans
Authors: Morozova Vitaliya
Published: July 2020

There are more than 70 chemical elements in the human body. To date, the need for more than 20 trace elements has been determined: deficiency in them leads to disruption of the neural, immune and endocrine regulation and adaptive potential, increases the risk of infectious diseases and development of their chronicity. A prolonged absence of certain nutrients in the diet, or vice versa, excess of them in soil and water, can cause irreversible changes in the body. The article discusses physiological role of minerals, macro and micronutrients, features of their metabolism, content standards, causes of their shortage in the diet. Recommendations on the choice of material for the study of the trace element composition are given and possibilities of modern laboratory diagnostics are presented.

Published: July 2020

The growth of container handling in the maritime industry has led to rapid growth in the transport services sector. Transportation is one of the most important logistics activities for the movement of goods if needed by the customer. However, the encouraging growth of container volume has caused congestion and adversely affected truck access to the container terminal or storage area. Therefore, this study aims to determine the ranking of the congestion factors, as well as the stakeholders that mostly influence this issue through the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) technique. In the AHP analysis, the shipping line (43%) represented the highest percentage which affected the congestion problems, and operational handling (34%) was the main contributor among the five factors. Finally, future studies can be carried out by taking into account the factors and stakeholders involved to minimize congestion problems.

However, working in the oil palm plantations is very challenging and the farmworkers are exposed to many risks when doing day-to-day work. Most of the work on the farm is still using manual tools. There are farm management and workers who do not want to use machine tools due to reasons such as high cost, difficult to maintain, and burdensome. This study used an observation method in oil palm plantations and interviews with field managers to collect information. Verification of a pre-action plan is made before developing the final action plan. As such, the model was proposed as a step towards increasing the use of machinery in oil palm plantations to help ease the workload that the workers are carrying.
WAYS OF DEVELOPMENT OF “MINORITY” LITERATURE: POETRY BY NENETS PROKOPIY YAVTYSY
Authors: Arzamazov Alexey Andreevich
Published: July 2020

The study of the manifold ethnocultural heritage of Russia is one of the paramount tasks, potentially the most important area of Russian humanities. At the same time, the literary traditions of the peoples of our country, representing a unique civilizational integrity, spiritual wealth, are of significant scientific interest. Focusing on the problems of the development of "minority" literature and the contexts of its updating, it must be emphasized that this is a complex and theoretically insufficiently comprehended artistic and aesthetic, ethnopsychological, linguistic phenomenon. It should be recognized that at present there is a need for fundamental comparative studies and the development of new approaches to the study of close and distant cultures, literature, and models of the world. The article discusses the realities of the development of a separate "minority" literature at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries on the example of poetic texts by the Nenets poet Prokopiy Yavtysy. A brief description of the main stages of the formation of the Nenets literature is given, a number of its key features that are important for heterogeneous typological, comparative studies are highlighted. P. Yavtysy’s work represents a set of artistic features and codes of expressiveness that are common to many literary traditions of the native minorities of the Far North, Siberia, and the Far East, and there are also separate stadial and typological correspondences with Finno-Ugric literature of Russia. The main poetic methods and contexts of Yavtysy’s poems are established, the most representative figurative and symbolic strata, plot and situational blocks are determined, the linguistic and poetic component is interpreted. The deep genetic connection of the poetic system of the Nenets author with the folklore and mythological ideas of the Nenets is emphasized. The question of the influence of socialist realism on the artistic rhetoric of P. Yavtysy is raised. In the article, a separate place is occupied by the problem of translating the works by the Nenets author into Russian.
KOMI OLD BELIEVER’S COMMUNITIES AT THE TURN OF THE XXth - XXIst CENTURIES: TRANSFORMATION OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Vlasova Victoria Vladimirovna
Published: July 2020

The history of the spread of Old Belief among Finno-Ugric peoples, its role in the formation of local ethno-confessional groups had drew attention of researchers for several decades. Special attention is paid to studying of the mechanisms of self-preservation of Old Believer’s communities, in particular such institutions as the Old Believer community and religious leadership ( nastavnichestvo ). The Old Belief, which became widespread among the Komi-Zyryans at the end of the XVIIIth century, significantly influenced their culture and way of life. By the end of the XIX century three ethno-confessional groups of Komi Old Believers were formed: Udora, Upper Vychegda and Upper Pechora. Socio-political and economic transformations of the Soviet period had a strong influence on their development. The purpose of the article is to present and analyze the changes that occurred in the late 1990s - early 2000s with the most important institutions of the Old Belief: the religious community and religious leadership. The study is based on field materials collected during ethnographic expeditions in 1999-2014. The collected materials allow us to talk about significant changes in the socio-religious life of the Komi-Zyryan’s Old-Believer communities. The author shows several variants of changes of studied religious institutions: their preservation (with a simplification of the structure); disappearance; gradual secularization (blurring of intra- and inter-confessional borders). The main problems of all Komi Old-Believer communities of this period are: small numbers, predominance of older women and the absence of youth. The author demonstrates the role of Old-Believers leaders in determining of the religious communities future fate.
MASLENITSA ("BUTTER WEEK") IN THE FOLK CALENDAR OF THE BESERMEN: TEMPORAL, SPATIAL AND NUTRITIONAL PARAMETERS
Authors: Popova Elena Vasilyevna
Published: July 2020

The article deals with food, time and space parameters of the Beserman Maslenitsa ("butter week, crepe week") rite Machencha / Machincha in the folk calendar and their transformation in the modern rite. The time parameters of the holiday were limited by the week of the Maslenitsa, the last week before the Great Lent, which regulated the beginning and end of the ceremony, some types of works, forms of entertainment and meals. Spatial parameters of the ritual, as well as the movement (sledging) had a producing character, aimed at obtaining a good harvest (flax), and are associated with women's crafts. During the Maslenitsa days, the objects of the landscape - mountain, street, village center - were the places of festive sledgings, festivities and meetings. Maslenitsa rituals reflected the social changes of some residents and honours of members of the village community, family, social and age groups in their new status - newlyweds, young women, girls and boys of marriageable age. Meals, visits to relatives and festive walk rounds of the village's youth were part of the celebration. The main dish of the festival were small flatcakes named taban' made of yeast dough. Modern Maslenitsa as a public event refers to the holiday «Farewell of the Russian winter», with changes of the spatial, temporal and nutritional parameters of the traditional rite. The article is based on field materials and observation of the modern rite.

Authors: Abakumova I.V. , Godunov M.V. , Gurtskoy D.A.
Published: July 2020

The problem of meaning choice as a psychological phenomenon radically different from the classical logical choice is investigated. Differences of mechanisms of formation of personal meaning and operational meaning are analyzed. It is shown that the process of meaning choice is based on a system of different personal meanings and includes such components as decentralization of meanings, generalization of meanings and the initiation of meanings. Decentralization of meaning is considered as its origin on the periphery of the semantic system. Generalization of meaning means its allocation and transition to personally significant positions among available semantic formations. At the initiation of meaning there is an evaluative selection of meaning constructs on the basis of internal criteria for further implementation in the activity. Based on the identified features of the choice of meaning made by man, some difficulties of artificial intelligence systems are shown. These difficulties are analyzed in logical, psychological, epistemological, axiological and existential aspects.
ARISTOTELIAN THEORY OF POLITICAL COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LINGUISTIC TURN
Authors: Zhurbina I.V.
Published: July 2020

The paper addresses the Aristotelian theory of the types of communication: family, community and state. The Aristotelian theory is examined through communication type, kind and individual differences. It is shown that the hierarchy of communication types is defined by the two extremes - speech and thinking. Speech is the generic principle of human communication. Thinking (λόγος) is viewed as an active form, an active principle of human communication. In the Aristotelian hierarchy, the lower level is represented by communication in the family and community, the essence of which is determined by speech. Communication in the family and community fosters the skill of judgment as worldly wisdom. The upper level is represented by political communication, the individual characteristics of which are determined by the form of thought, i.e. one of the methods of persuasion. The paper describes the meaning of political friendship as unanimity allowing citizens involved in political communication to reach agreement and act together for the benefit of all. The paper discusses the generic difference of political communication, which is determined by a specific combination of the form of thinking, i.e. the method of persuasion, with one of the three kinds of rhetorical speech: deliberative, judicial and epideictic (epideixis). The main focus of attention is the deliberative speech that most fully meets the tasks of discussing public affairs and making decisions. The relationship between politics and philosophy as a sphere of pure thinking is described in the context of political communication. It is established that the best political communication is the one in which rulers do not encroach on freedom of thought and freedom of philosophizing. The freedom of thought becomes the guarantor of the achievement of good, justice and equality in the state.

Authors: Vasyura S.A. , Nikitina O.V.
Published: July 2020

The article focuses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the style's study in Russian psychology. The history, current state and prospects of developing the problem of a human activity style in the Perm psychological school are considered. The study of style in the Perm Psychological School has a half-century history. At the initial stages in the study of style, the features of the process-dynamic side of the activity of a person who successfully performs it were revealed. Later, in connection with the development of V.S. Merlin's theory of integral individuality, style operational characteristics began to be studied in a system of multilevel properties of human individuality - socio-psychological, personal, psychodynamic, neurodynamic. The article analyzes the structure of the style of human activity, as well as its functions - adaptive, system-forming, developing, etc. In the Perm Psychological School, the style of human activity has received a detailed polysystemic characterization in theoretical and empirical studies conducted under the guidance of B.A. Vyatkin. Representations of the style of human activity were significantly enriched thanks to the L.Ya. Dorfman theory of the meta-individual world. The article outlines promising theoretical and methodological approaches that open up new possibilities for the development of psychological knowledge about the styles of human activity, as well as the practical significance of this knowledge.

Authors: Danilova E.A.
Published: July 2020

The behavior of spouses in conflict is an urgent psychological problem that must be analyzed based on the stages of the family life cycle. Family is considered as a dynamic formation, in the course of which qualitatively different periods are distinguished. The article presents the results of a study of the behavior of spouses at different stages of the family life cycle. At the empirical level, the hypothesis is proved that the behavior in the conflict of spouses at different stages of the family life cycle is different. For couples at the middle stage, such conflict behavior strategies as cooperation and compromise are characteristic. Married couples who are at the stage of mature marriage tend to resort to rivalry in conflict situations. As the stages of the life cycle of family development pass, the spheres of marital conflict change. The results of significant differences in the behavior of men and women in conflict at different stages of the family life cycle are presented.

El compromiso metastásico de los ganglios linfáticos es el factor pronóstico más importante en el cáncer de mama. Conocer el grado de infiltración de los mismos implica sobrevida libre de progresión, sobrevida global y riesgo de recurrencia temprana de la enfermedad, y esto a su vez ayudaría a conocer las terapias adyuvantes que recibirán las pacientes. Presentamos un caso con diagnóstico de carcinoma ductal invasor de la mama izquierda etapa IB que se le realizó biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela mostrando la linfocentellografía, una migración única a la cadena mamaria interna sin poder acceder al mismo por su localización anatómica retrocostal, se decide rastreo y disección axilar porque así lo recoge nuestro protocolo, a partir de casos como este, nos obliga a realizar una revisión y actualización del tema, y así reajustar nuestros protocolos de actuación con la introducción de técnicas novedosas en nuestro país y los resultados de nuestras primeras experiencias acumuladas. La cadena mamaria interna puede ser el único territorio ganglionar comprometido en la biopsia selectiva de ganglio centinela y, a la vista de los resultados, podría obviarse el estudio ganglionar a nivel axilar cuando no hay sospecha clínica ni radiológica de afectación.

Now-a-days, the environmental impact of automobiles is increasingly becoming one of the most important social issues. Major environmental impact is smog producing gases [2]. These gases emitted from the vehicles may pollute the air, water, soil and it results in acid rain, global warming, nausea and also leads to death. To meet current and future regulations with less emission of gases, alternative technologies like Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is being developed. A HEV is a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a conventional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) system with an electric propulsion system. These hybrid vehicles reduce the discharge of pollutants from the vehicles powered by fossil fuel. These vehicles are propelled by electric motors which is powered by the energy stored in the batteries [5]. The battery charges when the vehicle is in running condition. HEVs are fuel efficient and is good to the environment. It produces twice as many miles per gallon. The presence of this method is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle.
