Published: August 2020

Diabetes mellitus is chronic condition with defect in regulation of insulin. Microalbuminuria is one of the early appearing markers of overt diabetic nephropathy. Uncontrolled glycemic status has been postulated to be associated with increase urinary albumin levels. Objectives: To find out the association of increased urinary albumin with poor glyemic status of patients with diabetes mellitus type II. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Pathology, Indus Medical College Hospital Tando Muhammad Khan. Period: November 2018 to June 2019. Material & Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: Group I (Poor glycemic control, HbA1c >7%) and Group II (Good glycemic control, HbA1c <7%). Glycated hemoglobin and microalbuminuria were evaluated in all patients. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0. P – value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Total of 213 patients were included in the study with male ratio (56.8%) slightly higher than females (43.19%). Mean age of patients was 42.3 ± 2.1 years. Mean glycated hemoglobin in Group I and II was 8.12 ± 0.97% and 5.98 ± 0.41% respectively. In Group I, 57.54% patients were detected with microalbuminuria as compared to Group II (12.26%). P value was statistically significant (<0.001). Conclusion: Microalbuminuria was found more frequently in patients with poor glycemic control. Early detection of urinary microalbumin in these patients may decrease the risk of kidney damage and appropriate and adequate management in initial stage.

Published: August 2020

A investigação filosófica sobre a tecnologia tem ocupado cada vez mais espaço na agenda dos filósofos profissionais das mais diversas tradições. Com o objetivo de expandir a reflexão filosófica sobre o respectivo tema, o presente texto, busca esclarecer os principais elementos associados à natureza da tecnologia, analisando, consequentemente, as implicações que os mesmos exercem na educação tecnológica. Primeiramente, afastamos a concepção reducionista de tecnologia como ciência aplicada e de tecnociência, alegando que há boas razões para sustentar uma emancipação epistêmica fraca da tecnologia em relação à ciência. Em seguida, falaremos sobre as especificidades que envolvem a educação tecnológica associadas principalmente ao processo de design. Por fim, consideramos a possibilidade de desenvolver uma autêntica e efetiva educação tecnológica.
ORDENAR AS PAIXÕES: RECONHECIMENTO E SOCIABILIDADE NO EMÍLIO DE ROUSSEAU - SEGUNDA PARTE
Authors: Kawauche Thomaz
Published: August 2020

Este artigo recupera o problema do reconhecimento no quadro teórico do artigo anterior e prossegue examinando, na leitura de Emílio, ou Da educação, o princípio da ordem das paixões como condição de sociabilidade. Dessa vez, o comentário procura esclarecer a ideia de reconhecimento segundo Rousseau com base em dois pontos fundamentais de Emílio, a saber, o modelo de espetáculo para as cenas pedagógicas e o princípio da amizade para formação do juízo moral. No tocante às cenas, Rousseau recoloca o princípio da “educação negativa” com base na tese da Carta a d’Alembert sobre os espetáculos, a saber, que as cenas teatrais são incapazes de modificar os costumes, uma vez que, diante do “quadro das paixões”, a “cena em geral” não produz virtude, mas apenas reforça as inclinações já existentes no espírito do espectador. Em relação à amizade, Rousseau lida com o problema do amor-próprio ponderando que, embora as relações entre amigos não sejam suficientes para anular o conflito de interesses inerente à luta por reconhecimento, o arranjo social engendrado por elas apresenta um ordenamento satisfatório do ponto de vista da boa ordem das paixões.

Published: August 2020

Objective To evaluate the associative role of depression and apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele (APOEε4) in subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and its progression to objective cognitive decline.Methods After literature search in electronic databases, studies were selected by following precise eligibility criteria. Meta-analyses were performed to examine the role of APOEε4 and depression in SCD or its progression to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia.Results APOEε4 positivity was not different between SCD and normal individuals but was significantly higher in individuals with SCD plus than in normal individuals [odds ratio: 2.39 (95% CI: 1.87, 3.05); p<0.00001] and in SCD converters than in non-converters [odds ratio: 5.19 (95% CI: 2.36, 11.42); p<0.00001]. Depression was significantly higher in individuals with SCD [standardized mean difference: 0.63 (0.45, 0.82); p<0.00001] and SCD plus [standardized mean difference: 0.83 (0.43, 1.22); p<0.0001] than in normal individuals. However, depression was not different between SCD and MCI or between SCD converters and non-converters. Age of SCD converters was higher than non-converters [mean difference: 2.95 years (0.58, 5.31)].Conclusion Whereas APOEε4 positivity was higher in SCD plus and SCD converters, depression was higher in SCD and SCD plus but was not different between SCD and MCI.
A nők megjelenítése és szerepe az alsó tagozatos etikatankönyvekben

Published: August 2020

A tanulmányban azt vizsgáljuk, hogy az Oktatáskutató és Fejlesztő Intézet által kiadott alsó tagozatos erkölcstan tankönyvekben milyen szerepekben, hogyan jelennek meg a nők. Az elméleti háttér áttekintése során röviden bemutatunk korábbi, a nők tankönyvbeli reprezentációját vizsgáló tanulmányokat, valamint a tantárgyat és a hozzá kapcsolódó alapelveket és célokat. Írásunkban arra keressük a választ, hogy a 2013-ban bevezetett új tantárgyhoz készült tankönyvekben milyen szerepekben jelennek meg a nők, ezzel összefüggésben a Nemzeti alaptantervben megfogalmazott célok megvalósulnak-e, valamint, hogy a tankönyvi feladatokban tükröződneke a nők tankönyvbeli reprezentációját vizsgáló kutatások eredményei. A mintába választott tankönyvek kvantitatív jellegű mutatóinak bemutatását a prezentált feladatok kvalitatív tartalomelemzése követi. Az eredményeink szerint a vizsgált alsó tagozatos erkölcstan tankönyvekben elsősorban a fehér, férfi kultúra dominál. A nők nem a valós társadalmi arányszámban jelennek meg a tankönyvi teremtett világban. Mindazonáltal a változó nemi szerepekkel explicit módon foglalkozó nagyon kevés feladat a tanítási gyakorlatban várhatóan fejlesztő és érzékenyítő hatású lehet. A tankönyvekben felülreprezentáltak a férfiak, valamint a korábbi kutatásokban is jelzett androcentrizmus és a nemi polarizáció továbbra is hátráltatja a modern társadalmi nemi szerepek hatékony és korszerű tárgyalását. A kutatás során megfogalmazott javaslatok értelmében a nőkkel kapcsolatos tartalmak arányszámának és jellegének a valós társadalomhoz volna szükséges igazodnia.
„Digitális Honfoglalás” avagy 0–3 évesek a digitális világban

Published: August 2020

2017-ben a Józsefvárosi Egyesített Bölcsődék (JEB) a Leonardo 41 Alapítvánnyal közösen rakta le a Digitális Honfoglalás projekt első alapköveit azzal a céllal, hogy a hároméves kor alatti gyermekek, családjuk és a bölcsődei kisgyermeknevelőik digitális eszközhasználati szokásait, attitűdjüket és maguknak a digitális eszközöknek a bölcsődés korú gyermekekre gyakorolt hatását jobban megértsük, és felhívjuk a figyelmet a téma kiemelt fontosságára. A terület teljesen újszerű volt, mert mindenki az óvodás korosztálytól felfelé kezdett hasonló kutatásokba annak ellenére, hogy már – az intenzív fejlődési fázisban lévő – 0–3 éves gyermekeink kezében is ott vannak a digitális eszközök. Jelen tanulmányukban a Budapest VIII. kerületében elindított modellértékű projekt működését és a Józsefvárosban végzett egyik kutatásunk eredményét mutatjuk be. A 2018 őszén indult kérdőíves kutatásban arra kerestük a választ, hogy a bölcsődébe járó gyermekek szülei milyen céllal adnak gyermekeik kezébe digitális eszközt. Azt is néztük továbbá, hogy a gyerekek hogyan, mikor, milyen helyzetekben, mire és mennyit használják az okoseszközöket, illetve hogyan jutnak ezekhez hozzá. Bemutatott eredményeink 134 kérdőív feldolgozásán alapulnak. Mára beigazolódott a több fórumot is bejárt projektünk céljainak fontossága, hiszen azt tapasztaljuk, hogy a magyar neveléstudományi szakemberek és a közvélemény élénken érdeklődik e téma iránt.

Need for alteration of undercover operations in the frame of European legislation for the successful suppression of organized illegal immigrant trafficking and the associated transportation of individuals enmeshed in terrorism
Authors: Papanikolaou Anastasia
Published: August 2020

The purpose of the present article is to make
an effective proposal for combating terrorist attacks related to illegal
migration. It is stated that terrorist attacks and illegal immigration are
organized criminal phenomena that are occasionally interconnected. The
peculiarity of these crimes is that they radically affect societies and that
combating preparatory illegal acts for their perpetration does not restrain the
entire criminal activity. Under these circumstances it results that undercover
operations are an effective, penetrative means of preventing organized criminal
activities. Finally, it is concluded that the confluence of two particularly
serious crimes leads to the proposal for adopting a new (more penetrative) type
of undercover operation through the
prism of the principle of proportionality.
The available situation of meadows in Şanlıurfa and the usage areas of useful and harmful plants
Authors: ÇALIK Ayşe
Published: August 2020

Meadows and grasslands are one of the most important natural resources in the region. These areas are the cheapest sources of production where our need for animal nutrition is met, as well as where the need for roughage is met so that animals can produce high yields. As a result of continuous excessive and uncontrolled grazing of meadows and grasslands, losses have occurred in the existing vegetation cover. These areas are covered with plant communities where animals do not eat and have difficulty in digestion. To correct this situation and take necessary measures, a vegetation study was carried out in 2016. In the study carried out in the single and fatik mountains representing the city of Şanlıurfa, vegetation study was carried out with the wheel point method and it was studied in 12 determined areas. According to the results of the study, 32% of the pastures are covered with plants, while the remaining part is devastated by overgrazing and drought. Nowadays, plants that grow spontaneously in meadows and pastures are the food sources consumed by people in various ways. Plants that are beneficial according to the structure and properties of the plants collected by humans have been used by people for making food rather than medicine. Some of the plants have a poisonous effect and if the animals consume, the damage occurs. Useful and harmful plant species rates were determined as 19.3% and 32.5%, respectively. Poisonous herbs cause anorexia in animals, irreversible problems in excessive use, and even cause their death. As a result, the plants that are beneficial and harmful to human health in the meadow pastures of Şanlıurfa province, the existence of these plants should be protected and their properties and use should be explained to people, both medically and as a food. It was concluded that the pastures in two different mountains in Şanlıurfa province were degraded due to overgrazing and that they should be urgently protected by applying appropriate breeding methods.
Sensitive periods in executive function development
Authors: Thompson Abigail , Steinbeis Nikolaus
Published: August 2020

Executive functions (EF) are cognitive processes that support flexible goal pursuit. Healthy development of EFs during childhood is critical for later life outcomes including health, wealth and educational attainment. As such it is crucial to understand how EFs can be supported and protected against insult. Here we examine whether there are sensitive periods in the development of EFs, by drawing on deprivation and enrichment studies in humans. While there is suggestive evidence that pre-6 months of age constitutes a sensitive period for EF development, given the higher-order nature of EF, we argue for the possibility of multiple sensitive periods of constituent processes. We identify relevant future questions and outline a research agenda to systematically test for sensitive period in EF development.

Published: August 2020

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is a promising technology. However, it suffers from low range characteristics thus increasing the anxiety to prospect customers and hindering its market penetration. To overcome this challenge, a range extender that can generate additional power to charge the battery could be the solution. This brief review article will highlight the prospects and challenges of range extender technology for electric vehicles. A number of automobile manufacturers have launched their Range Extended Electric Vehicles (REEVs) models and the detailed comparison will be given. Several types of range extenders will be discussed, including the internal combustion engine, microturbine, and fuel cell. Lastly, this report will suggest the use of Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) i.e Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine be utilised as range extenders for electric vehicles.
Labor division in joint tasks: Humans maximize use of their individual attentional capacities
Authors: Wahn Basil , Kingstone Alan
Published: August 2020

In daily life, humans frequently perform visuospatial tasks together (e.g., visual search) and distribute the labour in such tasks. Previous research has shown that humans prefer a left and right labour division in a joint multiple object tracking (MOT) task. Yet, findings from studies investigating individuals' tracking ability suggest attentional capacities may be more maximally used with a top and bottom labour division. We investigated whether co-actors' labour division preference is influenced by how they are seated (neighbouring vs. opposite of each other) or how the MOT task is displayed (portrait vs. landscape). We find that pairs attain a higher performance using a top and bottom labour division and preferred this labour division compared to a left and right division. This preference was unaffected by the seating arrangement. For the landscape display, however, we find that participants no longer attain a higher performance for the top and bottom labour division and accordingly participants' preference for this labour division was greatly reduced as well. Overall, we propose that co-actors are sensitive to changes within their environment which allows them to choose a labour division that maximizes use of their individual attentional capacities.
Coordination effort in joint action is reflected in pupil size
Authors: Wahn Basil , Ruuskanen Veera , Kingstone Alan , Mathot Sebastiaan
Published: August 2020

Humans often perform visual tasks together, and when doing so, they tend to devise division of labor strategies to share the load. Implementing such strategies, however, is effortful as co-actors need to coordinate their actions. We tested if pupil size – a physiological correlate of mental effort – can detect such a coordination effort in a multiple object tracking task (MOT). Participants performed the MOT task jointly with a computer partner and either devised a division of labor strategy (main experiment) or the labor division was already pre-determined (control experiment). We observed that pupil sizes increase relative to performing the MOT task alone in the main experiment while this is not the case in the control experiment. These findings suggest that pupil size can detect a rise in coordination effort, extending the view that pupil size indexes mental effort across a wide range of cognitively demanding tasks.

Published: August 2020

Long term care spending has highest growth in various functions via health expenditures and types of services available and is expected to grow with coming years. A significant share is given by government or compulsory insurance schemes for long term care. LTC spending is the first policy issue for OECD countries. The paper upholds the analysis made by OECD countries for extending country coverage and improving methodology for future developments in LTC and health. In addition, the paper will also project the expenditure and scope for LTC in BRIICS (Brazil, Russia, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa) countries. The paper will differentiate between health and LTC expenditure and demographic and non- demographic drivers for each study.

Elastic riveted perforated plate with cracks
Authors: Yakhyaev J. D.
Published: August 2020

The paper proposes the problem solution for interaction of two following factors: perforated plate reinforcement by a stringer system and its loosening by a number of circular holes and two cracks along the x-axis near each hole. The hole and crack edges are free from external loads. The riveted plate is subjected to tension by strengthening ribs via constant stresses. The action of riveted reinforcing strengthening ribs is modeled by unknown concentrated forces applied to anchor points.

An effective solution is proposed for the reinforcement by transverse strengthening ribs of plates weakened by stress concentrators (holes, cracks) under loading. The stress intensity and ultimate loads are found depending on geometrical and physical parameters of the problem.

The paper focuses on aluminosilicate-based microspheres, whose shell represents an X-ray amorphous state, which significantly reduces their strength properties. However, a number of technological characteristics used in industry provide the formation of glass-ceramic and crystalline states of the condensed phase, which is the shell microsphere. Presently, the formation of the structure and phase composition during the interaction between aluminosilicates (the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio varies between 0−100 %) and high-temperature (≥ 5000 K) plasma is most interesting. This paper presents the research results of the structure and phase composition of the aluminosilicate-based condensed phase during the microsphere production. The X-ray phase analysis shows that after cooling, the structure and phase composition of the microsphere shells based on refractory polycrystalline materials promotes the formation of the X-ray amorphous structure at SiO2 ≥ 60 wt. % in the initial powder and the transition of γ-Al2O3 cryptocrystalline phase to high-temperature α- Al2O3 phase with the use of the initial alumina powder.

Authors: Ivanenkо I. I. , Lapatina E. Y.
Published: August 2020

In aerobic conditions, many of microorganisms cause decomposition of saturated hydrocarbons. Little publications are available relative to anaerobic transformation of these compounds, which provides substantial сapiltal saving for waste water treatment. At the same time, cultures found among aerobic decomposers of petroleum products are characterized by the ability to use elements with variable valence as terminal electron acceptors in oxidation of organic substances. Their ability to decompose aliphatic hydrocarbons helps to identify some of them.

Purpose: studying the ability of a selected association of immobilized bacteria on a fibrous carrier to utilize sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor for toluene oxidation.

Methodology/approach: Analytical summarizing of results, literature review, laboratory research based on standard and modern up-to-date methodologies with the use of modern analytical equipment.

Findings: The availability of using microorganism selection is shown for expanding the range of polluting strippants in biological purification; the main directions are determined for the process intensification by immobilization of active sludge on a fibrous carrier. The ability of microorganisms to oxidize toluene under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions is studied in the laboratory conditions.

Research implications: monoaromatic hydrocarbons, toluene, in particular, can be changed by selected associations of decomposers using terminal electron acceptors in oxidation of nitrates and sulfates.
Acoustic measurements of bored pile length using two channels

Published: August 2020

Non-destructive testing of structures is an effective way to determine their required parameters. One of the promising directions is the acoustic measurement of the pile length using two channels. This method is based on the excitation and registration of elastic waves on the pile surface. A limitation of acoustic methods is that the speed of the elastic waves in the pile is assumed to be known in advance. Research results show that the practical application of this condition can lead to a significant error. This is especially true for bored piles, where the speed of the elastic wave propagation is determined by many different factors. This paper proposes to increase the measurement accuracy of the acoustic wave speed in the bored pile. The use of two measurement channels, which implies the introduction of the specified distance between the receiving devices, made it possible to increase the measurement accuracy up to 5 %.

Concerns about the availability of fuel oil reserves and air pollution have encouraged innovation to use of alternative fuels in diesel engines. Single fuel Diesel engines modified with a dual fuel, which is a mixture of diesel and gas. The problem of using mixed fuels is that the flashpoint of natural gas must meet the ignition requirements on diesel engines. The consumption of gas fuel in diesel engines, by the load, can continue to work using dual fuel. In this research, the gas fuel supply to control pattern used of dual-fuel with adjusted to the diesel engine load. The lookup table control method, one of the branches of expert system control, apply to change the valve opening of the gas valve. The efficiency of the control results being slightly lower than if manually controlled but still higher than if the fuel only uses diesel fuel.
Zwischen Leidenschaften und Karteileichen – DDR-Fußball auf Kreisebene am Beispiel des Kreisfachausschusses (KFA) Schmölln in den 1970er Jahren
Authors: Reinhart Kai , Lorenzen Ivonne
Published: August 2020

Über die Spieler, Trainer, Schiedsrichter und Funktionäre des Fußballs der DDR auf der Kreis- und Bezirksebene ist sehr wenig bekannt. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt an der dünnen Quellenlage. Unterlagen der Basisorganisationen im Sport wurden zumeist nicht archiviert. Die Sammlung der Dokumente des Kreisfachausschusses Schmölln im Archiv des Landesportbunds Thüringen ist daher ein glücklicher Fall für die Forschung. Die Untersuchung seiner Geschichte zeigt nicht nur, wie der Amateurfußball in der DDR funktionierte, sondern verrät auch viel über den Charakter der sozialistischen Herrschaft. Die Ergebnisse stützen den Begriff der „partizipatorischen Diktatur“ (Fulbrook), der hervorhebt, dass die DDR-Bürger nicht nur Befehlsempfänger waren, sondern auch Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten besaßen. So funktionierte der Kreisklassen-Fußball nur durch das Engagement zahlreicher Enthusiasten, die im Rahmen der politisch diktierten Verwaltungsstrukturen und ideologischen Planungsvorgaben den Fußball in ihrer Umgebung entwickelten.
Vereinskultur und soziale Differenz – Eine Fallstudie zu milieuspezifischen Prozessen der Vergemeinschaftung und Abgrenzung
Authors: Lazar Raimund
Published: August 2020

Ausgehend von der Betrachtung einer Einzelfallstudie wird in diesem Beitrag Vereinskultur in einem Amateurfußballverein einer ungleichheits- und machtsensiblen Analyse unterzogen. Dabei werden die befragte Ehrenamtliche und ihre soziale Praxis in Relation zu anderen Vereinsmitgliedern aus einer praxeologischen Perspektive beleuchtet. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, inwiefern der in ihrem Herkunftsmilieu ausgebildete Habitus in der aktiven Auseinandersetzung mit den Handlungsbedingungen und der sozialen Vielfalt in ihrem Verein vereinsspezifisch wirkt. Anhand der Ergebnisse lässt sich zeigen, wie der kleinbürgerliche Habitus der Befragten Prozesse der Vergemeinschaftung und Abgrenzung im Verein prägt. Ihre vereinskulturelle Praxis ist somit in Relation zu anderen Vereinsmitgliedern und vor dem Hintergrund zurückliegender Habitualisierungsprozessen in sozialen Milieus sowie den damit verbundenen habituellen Grundhaltungen zu verstehen.

Entwicklungslinien und Merkmale des Bolzplatzes. Informelle Fußballkultur zwischen Spiel- und Sportplatz im Wandel
Authors: Mittag Jürgen
Published: August 2020

Bolzplätze finden sich in zahlreichen Gemeinden als Sport- und Spielstätten. Dennoch existiert bislang weder eine anerkannte Definition des Bolzplatzes noch ist dessen historische Entwicklung bislang näher aufgearbeitet worden. Im allgemeinen Verständnis stellen Bolzplätze einen Ort für freizeitbezogene Fußballspiele dar, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die fußballerischen Aktivitäten von den Spielern selbst organisiert werden und keine Einflussnahme durch Vereine und den organisierten Sport erfolgt. Mit dem Ziel einer Bestandsaufnahme von zentralen Kennzeichen des Bolzplatzes und einer Erkundung von dessen wichtigsten Entwicklungslinien unternimmt der Beitrag eine definitorische Annäherung an den Bolzplatz als Zwischenform von Spiel- und Sportplatz. Im Ergebnis wird gezeigt, dass das Aufkommen und die Ausweitung einer Bolzplatzkultur nicht nur Ausdruck der Fußballentwicklung ist, sondern dass sich in Bolzplätzen auch Aspekte der Kinder- und Jugendpolitik, des Baurechts und Lärmschutzes sowie der Gesellschaftsgeschichte des Landes widerspiegeln.
