Medición de capital social en la educación superior una alternativa frente a la disyuntiva del desarrollo
Authors: García Monsalve Luz Stella , Cabrera Jiménez Manuel Fernando
Published: April 2018

El capital social es un medio que puede influenciar el desarrollo de la asociatividad de comunidades académicas, por medio del presente artículo se presentan los resultados de la investigación realizada en la Universidad ECCI de Bogotá con el propósito de determinar cuál es la percepción de asociatividad que tienen los estudiantes en la institución. Se usó una encuesta como instrumento para recolectar información enfocada en valores tales como: solidaridad, tolerancia, reciprocidad y respeto por las normas. Con el propósito de representar correctamente la población se utilizó la teoría de muestreo probabilístico para extraer una muestra adecuada. Se hicieron pruebas piloto para evaluar el cuestionario y el diseño muestral, finalmente el tamaño de la muestra fue de 355 estudiantes. Como resultado de las encuestas se evidencia y se reconoce en los estudiantes que la confianza es un insumo importante para establecer relaciones beneficiosas y que el capital social desde la educación se puede potencializar si las instituciones además de fomentar valores propios de un comportamiento social positivo, crean las mediaciones para que toda la comunidad conozca las alternativas de integración que puedan surgir con el fin de generar beneficio individual y colectivo, evidenciado en redes.
Emociones en aristóteles: facultades anímicas en la formación de las opiniones y de los juicios
Authors: Garcés Giraldo Luis Fernando , Giraldo Zuluaga Conrado de Jesús
Published: April 2018

Las emociones para Aristóteles son facultades emotivas en los seres humanos, que pueden llegar a generar susceptibilidad y causar en algún momento que se cambien los juicios y se generen otro tipo de impresiones; están acompañadas de placer y dolor, dependiendo de los estados de ánimo con los que se cuente, en el momento de sentir alguna emoción. En este artículo además de desarrollar una reflexión frente a las emociones desde el Estagirita, se describen algunas de ellas y sus contrarios, que son las más comunes en todos sus escritos como son: la ira y la calma; el amor y el odio; el temor y la confianza; la vergÃ¼enza y la desvergÃ¼enza; la compasión y la indignación y por último, la envidia y la emulación.

¿Tú o usted? Estigmatización del tuteo en Bogotá
Authors: Cepeda Ruiz Cristal Yeseidy
Published: April 2018

En el presente artículo se analiza la influencia del factor social sexo (tanto del locutor como del interlocutor) en la selección de las formas de tratamiento pronominales tú y usted en la ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia); se estudia la asociación de tuteo con el habla femenina y el habla gay, específicamente, el rechazo de tú como trato entre hombres bogotanos y migrantes residentes en Bogotá, se propone que esta restricción pragmática ocasionada por el factor sexo favorece el uso mayoritario de usted e impide que el tuteo amplíe sus contextos de aplicación en Bogotá. Se presenta un análisis cuantitativo (frecuencias absolutas y relativas) / cualitativo (percepción y actitud de los hablantes) de los datos obtenidos de 36 cuestionarios sociolingüísticos, así como de fragmentos de la serie de televisión ‘Betty la fea’ (RCN televisión, 2010).
Sufijos gentilicios en el español de México. Rivalidad y restricciones de aplicabilidad
Authors: Esquivel Brizuela Shaila Lisett
Published: April 2018

Existe la idea de que no hay factores que incidan en la selección del sufijo al formar gentilicios, lo que equivale a decir que se encuentran en distribución libre. La Nueva gramática de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española afirma que no se puede prever el sufijo elegido en la formación de adjetivos gentilicios a partir de cada nombre de lugar (2010: 533). Por el contrario, en esta investigación presento un análisis en el cual se establece que sí existen ciertos factores que favorecen la elección de algunos sufijos. Estos son los factores estructurales y contextuales que definen la rivalidad entre los sufijos formadores de gentilicios. Para este propósito sigo la propuesta de análisis de Zacarías (2010, 2016a) que señala distinciones entre esquemas rivales. Mi estudio se desarrolla a partir de un corpus morfológico del cual extraje los sufijos más productivos en la actualidad: -ense, -eño, -ero, -eco, -ano, -ino. El sufijo más productivo, de acuerdo con los datos, es el sufijo -ense, el cual, posiblemente sea el que los hablantes toman de manera predeterminada. En este trabajo presento los factores que hacen de este sufijo el preferido en el español de México y establezco los criterios que explican la selección de cada uno de los sufijos.

Authors: Sanfo Rahamane , Traoré Fabiola , Yougbare Bernadette , Ouali Weremé
Published: April 2018

Deux mille trois cents œufs de pintades collectés à la station de Gampéla au Burkina Faso ont été pesés puis répartis en six catégories allant de 20–25 g à 45–50 g. Les œufs ont été incubés et les paramètres suivants ont été enregistrés : les taux de fertilité et d’éclosion, le poids des pintadeaux, les mortalités, et la croissance pondérale jusqu’à 56 jours d’âge. Le poids moyen des œufs a été de 35,2 ± 1,3 g avec une répartition inégale dans les six catégories ; le plus grand nombre d’œufs était dans la catégorie des 35–40 g. Le taux de fertilité moyen des œufs a été de 84,4 % ; il était corrélé (r = 0,81 ; p < 0,05) au poids de l’œuf. Le taux d’éclosion apparent a été de 65,7 % et le taux réel de 82,7 % ; ce dernier était corrélé (r = 0,85 ; p < 0,05) au poids de l’œuf. Le poids vif moyen du pintadeau à l’éclosion a été de 25,3 ± 4,3 g ; il était également significativement lié au poids de l’œuf (r = 0,96 ; p < 0,05). Le taux de mortalité des pintadeaux a été en moyenne de 16,5 % ; il était lié au poids de l’œuf et donc du pintadeau. Le poids moyen des pintadeaux à 56 jours (PDS56) a été de 152,5 ± 20,3 g ; il était lié au poids de l’œuf (PO) selon la régression : PDS56 = -279,1 + 11,8 PO avec R² = 0,87. Cette étude montre que dans la perspective de production de pintadeaux performants il importe de rejeter les œufs de calibre faible (< 35 g).

Published: April 2018

L’objectif de cette étude était de participer à la sauvegarde et à l’amélioration des performances du zébu Azawak au Mali en proposant une estimation des performances de croissance et de reproduction de cette race bovine élevée au nord du pays. Le suivi a concerné 1129 animaux dans quatre communes du cercle de Ménaka, entre novembre 2009 et février 2010. A 30 jours, les mâles pesaient en moyenne 39 ± 10 kg et les femelles 32 ± 4 kg. Aucune différence significative (p > 0,05) n’a été enregistrée entre les poids adultes des taureaux (370 ± 88 kg) et des vaches (327 ± 46 kg). L’âge au premier vêlage a été de 50 ± 11 mois avec un intervalle entre vêlages de 16 ± 4 mois. Les corrélations du poids avec le périmètre thoracique (r = 0,95) et la hauteur au garrot (r = 0,94) ont été les plus élevées. Des équations barymétriques ont été établies pour chaque catégorie animale (veau/velle, génisse/taurillon, vache/taureau) au moyen de régressions polynomiales du poids (y) sur le périmètre thoracique (x). Celles-ci pourront servir à établir une table de conversion du périmètre thoracique en poids vif ou un ruban barymétrique à l’attention des agents de l’élevage, afin de faciliter un suivi zootechnique et sanitaire des animaux sur le terrain.

Promotion of Flowering from Far-red Radiation Depends on the Photosynthetic Daily Light Integral
Authors: Owen W. Garrett , Meng Qingwu , Lopez Roberto G.
Published: April 2018

Under natural short days, growers can use photoperiodic lighting to promote flowering of long-day plants and inhibit flowering of short-day plants. Unlike traditional lamps used for photoperiodic lighting, low-intensity light-emitting diode (LED) lamps allow for a wide array of adjustable spectral distributions relevant to regulation of flowering, including red (R) and white (W) radiation with or without far-red (FR) radiation. Our objective was to quantify how day-extension (DE) photoperiodic lighting from two commercially available low-intensity LED lamps emitting R + W or R + W + FR radiation interacted with daily light integral (DLI) to influence stem elongation and flowering of several ornamental species. Long-day plants [petunia (Petunia ×hybrida Vilm.-Andr. ‘Dreams Midnight’) and snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L. ‘Oh Snap Pink’)], short-day plants [african marigold (Tagetes erecta L. ‘Moonsong Deep Orange’) and potted sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. ‘Pacino Gold’)], and day-neutral plants [pansy (Viola ×wittrockiana Gams. ‘Matrix Yellow’) and zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq. ‘Magellan Cherry’)] were grown at 20/18 °C day/night air temperatures and under low (6–9 mol·m−2·d−1) or high (16–19 mol·m−2·d−1) seasonal photosynthetic DLIs from ambient solar radiation combined with supplemental high-pressure sodium lighting and DE LED lighting. Photoperiods consisted of a truncated 9-hour day (0800–1700 hr) with additional 1-hour (1700–1800 hr, 10 hours total), 4-hour (1700–2100 hr, 13 hours total), or 7-hour (1700–2400 hr, 16 hours total) R + W or R + W + FR LED lighting at 2 μmol·m−2·s−1. Days to visible bud, plant height at first open flower, and time to first open flower (TTF) of each species were influenced by DLI, lamp type, and photoperiod though to different magnitudes. For example, plant height of african marigold and potted sunflower at first open flower was greatest under R + W + FR lamps, high DLIs, and 16-hour photoperiods. Petunia grown under R + W lamps, high DLI, and 10- and 13-hour photoperiods were the most compact. For all species, TTF was generally reduced under high DLIs. For example, regardless of the lamp type, flowering of african marigold occurred fastest under a high DLI and 10-hour photoperiod. Flowering of petunia and snapdragon occurred fastest under a high DLI, R + W + FR lamps, and a 16-hour photoperiod. However, only under high DLIs, R + W or R + W + FR lamps were equally effective at promoting flowering when used to provide DE lighting. Our data suggest that under low DLIs, flowering of long-day plants (petunia and snapdragon) occurs more rapidly under lamps providing R + W + FR, whereas under high DLIs, flowering is promoted similarly under either R + W or R + W + FR lamps.
Global Warming Potential, Variable Costs, and Water Use of a Model Greenhouse Production System for 11.4-cm Annual Plants Using Life Cycle Assessment
Authors: Ingram Dewayne L. , Hall Charles R. , Knight Joshua
Published: April 2018

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to analyze the global warming potential (GWP) and variable costs of production system components for an 11.4-cm container of wax begonia (Begonia ×semperflorens-cultorum Hort) modeled in a gutter-connected, Dutch-style greenhouse with natural ventilation in the northeastern United States. A life cycle inventory of the model system was developed based on grower interviews and published best management practices. In this model, the GWP of input products, equipment use, and environmental controls for an individual plant would be 0.140 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kg CO2e) and the variable costs would total $0.666. Fifty-seven percent of the GWP and 43% of the variable costs would be due to the container and the portion of a 12-plant shuttle tray assigned to a plant. Electricity for irrigation and general overhead would be only 13% of GWP and 2% of variable costs. Natural gas use for heating would be 0.01% of GWP and less of the variable costs, even at a northeastern U.S. location. This was because of the rapid crop turnover and only heated for 3 months of a 50-week production year. Life cycle GWP contributions through carbon sequestration of flowering annuals after being transplanted in the landscape would be minor compared with woody plants; however, others have documented numerous benefits that enhance the human environment.
Competitiveness in the Ukrainian stock market and local crisis of 2013–2015
Authors: Plastun Alex , Makarenko Inna , Balatskyi Ievgen
Published: April 2018

This paper investigates competitiveness in the Ukrainian stock market during local crisis of 2013–2015. The following hypothesis is tested: crisis decreases competitiveness in the stock market. The analysis is carried out for the most liquid stocks in the Ukrainian Exchange (UX) over the period from 2010 to 2017 using both traditional measurements of market concentration (Hirschman Index, Lerner Index, Comprehensive Concentration Index, Entropy Index, Gini coefficient, etc.) and some alternative methods like regression analysis with dummy variables and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results suggest that the current degradation of the Ukrainian stock market is closely related with significant changes in the market concentration which are caused by the local crisis.
PENSANDO O ANO EUROPEU DO DESENVOLVIMENTO: OPORTUNIDADES E LIMITAÇÕES ANTE A CLAÚSULA DEMOCRÁTICA FIRMADA NA UNIÃO EUROPEIA
Authors: Assunção Linara Oeiras , Da Silva Jessica Ramos
Published: April 2018

O ano de 2015 foi a reta final para as metas fixadas pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) para a concretização dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio (ODM) e de negociação da agenda pós-2015. Neste clima, a União Europeia (UE) firmou o “Ano Europeu do Desenvolvimento” (AED) com o slogan “O nosso mundo, a nossa dignidade, o nosso futuro”. Durante os 12 meses de 2015 foram propostas ações visando contribuir para a redução da pobreza no mundo e conhecer as relações da UE com os países em desenvolvimento. Mas em um contexto de decrescimento do PIB em diversas regiões da Europa, de atenuação do investimento produtivo, de desemprego, de restrição aos apoios sociais, de políticas de austeridade, de agravamento das desigualdades regionais e pessoais, foi difícil compreender que o AED tenha sido uma iniciativa exclusivamente voltada para o exterior. Assim, a pesquisa problematizou: O que significou, diante de retrocessos em direitos fundamentais nos países europeus em crise, 2015 ser o Ano Europeu do Desenvolvimento? Uma oportunidade da UE reafirmar seu papel como um dos principais agentes mundiais na luta contra a pobreza? Ou, sobretudo, uma oportunidade de combater a intensificação das desigualdades internas? Para nortear o problema utilizou-se o paradigma integracionista da Constituição da UE e do Direito Comunitário. E também a cláusula democrática firmada pelos países europeus em tratados que os obrigam a promover a democracia e a respeitar os direitos hu­manos. A pesquisa seguiu uma abordagem qualitativa com enfoque interpretativo e compreensivo, pautado em revisão bibliográfica e documental.
DESOBEDIÊNCIA CIVIL E NÃO VIOLÊNCIA
Authors: Renner José Alcides
Published: April 2018

Este artigo trata da não-violência, considerado como um dos elementos caracterizadores do conceito de desobediência civil mais insistentemente reclamados na doutrina. Inicia com uma abordagem das dificuldades de conceituar violência e apresenta as diversas espécies de violência, bem como as razões pelas quais se considera que a desobediência civil deva ser não-violenta. Distingue, tendo como base o conceito de (não)violência, entre desobediência civil e desobediência revolucionária. A partir da análise das concepções de (não)violência de Jean-Marie Muller e de Johan Galtung, propõe-se uma nova definição de (não)violência e sua (in)compatibilidade com o conceito de desobediência civil.
ESTUDO DO SISTEMA INTERAMERICANO DE PROTEÇÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS: ASPECTOS DA FRATERNIDADE EM CASOS DE MIGRAÇÃO NA CORTE INTERAMERICANA
Authors: Martini Sandra Regina , Simões Bárbara Bruna De Oliveira
Published: April 2018

Este artigo estuda o Sistema Interamericano de Proteção dos Direitos Humanos, em especial, quanto ao direito de migrar nas decisões da Corte Interamericana. Objetiva-se analisar a estrutura deste Sistema Regional e desvelar os paradoxos do direito de migrar na Corte. Utiliza-se como referencial teórico a Metateoria do Direito Fraterno, de Eligio Resta, partindo-se da ideia de fraternidade como um anacronismo, pois esta significa, atualmente, enxergar outras realidades, como são os fluxos migratórios. Realiza-se pesquisa bibliográfica em artigos nacionais e internacionais e relatórios de organizações e organismos que lidam com a temática dos direitos humanos e utiliza-se o método indutivo na pesquisa, pois se parte dos casos de migração da Corte Interamericana para compreender os fluxos migratórios na estrutura do Sistema Interamericano. A importância de estudar os fluxos migratórios neste sistema regional reside no fato de que, diante do aumento da mobilidade humana nos últimos anos, especialmente a forçada, necessita-se de aprofundamento do estudo desta mudança social no continente americano. A Europa tem sido o foco quanto à chamada “crise dos refugiados”, contudo, o continente americano também apresenta grande fluxo de pessoas e somente entendendo esta realidade é que se pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento das populações deste continente.
FINANCIAMENTO EMPRESARIAL DE CAMPANHAS ELEITORAIS: ANÁLISE EMPÍRICA DOS DESDOBRAMENTOS APÓS JULGAMENTO DA AÇÃO DIRETA DE INSCONSTITUCIONALIDADE PELO STF
Authors: Emerique Lilian Balmant , Madureira Eduardo Morrot Coelho
Published: April 2018

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o processo da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade n. 4650/2011 no Supremo Tribunal Federal, que avaliou o financiamento empresarial das campanhas eleitorais, através dos seus atores e de um exame empírico sobre seus efeitos nas eleições à prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro em 2016. De início, tratamos do enquadramento teórico no contexto do constitucionalismo democrático (Post e Siegel) sobre o papel da Corte e dos movimentos e sociedade civil no processo de interpretação constitucional. Em seguida, observamos a trajetória da luta dos movimentos sociais pela reforma política com seus avanços e estagnações. Passamos então a apreciação do debate no STF e, por fim, efetuamos diagnóstico das mudanças e de suas insuficiências em matéria eleitoral. Metodologia – Pesquisa teórica e empírica: levantamento e análise dos dados de sites de acompanhamento das prestações de contas e aspectos relativos às eleições no município do Rio de Janeiro nos anos de 2012 e 2016. Resultados obtidos do julgamento denotam uma busca por um constitucionalismo democrático, onde a legitimidade flui debaixo para cima. Assim, o processo ilustra como os tribunais refletem, mas também constroem a opinião pública. Após a decisão do STF de proibir o financiamento empresarial de campanhas é possível notar, ao menos nas eleições à prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro, uma relação correlata de redução do montante total dos recursos, menor desigualdade entre os candidatos e maior peso de pequenas doações individuais nas campanhas.

ASSESSMENT OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF THE SIBERIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT’ REGIONS
Authors: Литвинцева Г. , Litvintseva G. , Лисицин А. , Lisitsin A.
Published: April 2018

For the regional economy and for the economy of a country as a whole it is necessary to correctly assess the economic potential of their territories. Errors or inaccuracies committed in this case can lead not just to inefficient spending of budgetary funds, but also to the wrong choice of the development strategy, which can result in a loss of competitiveness of the economy of the region and its cities and affect the development of the national economy as a whole. The purpose of this work is to provide a comparative assessment of the economic potential of the Novosibirsk region and other regions of the Si berian Federal District. The study examined the socio-economic potential of the region as an important indicator of territorial development. Its estimation is based on the index method and the cluster approach. Six groups of development indices of the regions of the Siberian Federal District were selected. Were used a method for standardizing indicators using variance and hierarchical methods of clustering. Clusters of the Siberian Federal District have been identified. A comparative analysis of the potential of the Novosibirsk region and regions from other clusters is carried out. Comparison of the Novosibirsk region with its neighbors, representatives of other, significantly different clusters – the Omsk region and the Republic of Altai – allows us to conclude that the Novosibirsk region exceeds the neighboring regions in terms of its economic potential. In the regional economy, the production, infrastructure and labor components of the potential are the most developed (and, therefore, most promising for use as locomotives of regional development). The remaining components are relatively behind, which makes it necessary to draw attention to them from the authorities and management. The results of the study can be used to improve regional economic p olicy.

Authors: Ризов А. , Rizov A.
Published: April 2018

The subject of the current research is the old industrial monocities and monoproduct regions of the Perm region. The goal is the development of strategic approaches to solving the scientific and practical problem of realizing the prospects of Priority Social and Economic Development Areas, created within the boundaries of mono-product regions. The methodology of work is based on N.D. Kondratiev’s wave theory, G. Mensch’s concept of innovation activity, M. Porter’s concept of clusters, the concept of triple helix, etc. Its basis is the concept of innovative development of old industrial monocities [1]. The research results can assist monoproduct regions in obtaining the Priority Social and Economic Development Area status. Also, the area of application of the results includes
mono-product regions that have already obtained the status in question. The author concludes that application for the status should be preceded by a scientifically sound strategy for the development of mono-product regions, which has received the support of the local population.
OUTSOURCING IN SOLVING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS OF SINGLE-INDUSTRY TOWNS
Authors: Шадрин В. , Shadrin V.
Published: April 2018

Development and improvement of single-industry towns remain a burning issue not only because of the entrepreneurship and business development on the respective territories but mostly because of the need to improve the quality of life and prevent outflow of working population. Other acute problems involve the advanced development of problem areas, as well as the use of modern tools to disclose the potential for socio-economic development of single-industry towns. Outsourcing can be considered such a tool, if improved. The existing practice and experience of using outsourcing for diversification of single-industry economy and development of small and medium-sized businesses show the dependence of outsourcers on the economic situation of city-forming enterprises. The paper features an analysis of the world experience in outsourcing approach for single-industry cities. It is proposed to use outsourcing as a problem solving tool for single-industry towns. Together with large companies, cityforming enterprises and service industries, outsourcing can play an important role in solving social problems, in particular through "social outsourcing".
CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS OF THE MONOTOWN OF GUKOVO IN THE ROSTOV REGION: OPINIONS OF RESIDENTS
Authors: Челпанова Д. , Chelpanova D. , Гревцова Т. , Grevtsova T.
Published: April 2018

The town of Gukovo is an average city of the Rostov Region with a population of about 65 thousand people. Its industry is connected with coal mining. When the local coal mines were closed in the post-Soviet period, many people lost their jobs and began to seek employment in other regions. Today the local residents work mainly in the social sphere, trade and agriculture. They associate the prospects for the development of the urban industrial and social infrastructure with the creation of the priority social and economic development area (PSEDA) “Gukovo”. At present, the enterprises of PSEDA have already begun operating: they are mostly oriented to
engineering, manufacturing of reinforced concrete structures, carbonaceous materials, sunflower oil, and textile products. The goal of the study is to highlight the current social and economic problems of the municipal entity “Gukovo City” – PSEDA “Gukovo”, represented through the prism of the opinions of its residents. The study is based on the materials of depth interviews
INSTITUTIONAL-SYNERGETIC APPROACH TO THE PLANNING OF TERRITORIES OF ADVANCED SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Галиуллина Г. , Galiullina G.
Published: April 2018

The article features the concept of institutional-synergetic approach to planning as applied to territories of advanced social and economic development (TASED). At the initial stage it is proposed to determine the system of basic characteristics which are structured on the dichotomous method basis. Selecting one of the two possible solutions (the essence of the dichotomy) allows one to take a firm position about the most acute issues of the TASED formation, to focus resources and to develop a framework of strategic planning. The article systematizes the factors of the business investments decisions; these factors must be taken into account when developing the TASED models. The designed classification of single-industry cities with the status of special territories is represented in the form of three matrices. Such a representation makes it possible to take into account differences in income levels, technological development, and demographic potential of the territories. In addition to the resources of the territory, it is proposed to include the level and quality of strategic territorial planning, the level of interaction quality between stakeholders in the territory, and the quality of the territorial development management system. The proposed approach allows one to focus both on the development institutions and institutional transformations, and also to take into account the significant differences in the social and economic development of the single-industry cities, which received the status of TASED, their synergetic development potential, the factors of system  development and system formation.
THE FIRST TERRITORIES OF PRIORITY SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CHELYABINSK REGION: EXPERIENCE AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Колесник Е. , Kolesnik E.
Published: April 2018

In accordance with the criteria developed by the Government of the Russian Federation in 2014, 16 cities in the Chelyabinsk region received the official status of mono-industrial towns. Only four of them belong to the category single-industry towns with a stable socio-economic situation. For the rest, vital capacity remains a priority. One ways to solve the problem is creating territories of priority socio-economic development. The first residents of territories of priority socio-economic development in the Chelyabinsk region were registered in the city of Bakal. At the end of 2017 it was
joined by Verkhniy Ufaley with its potential investors. In addition to the territories of priority socio-economic development, the Chelyabinsk region develops industrial parks on the basis of mono-industrial towns to attract funds into urban economy and create
new jobs. The current paper features an analysis of the problems that the first territories of priority socio-economic development and industrial parks in the Chelyabinsk region are facing, as well as prospects for their further development

Published: April 2018

Development of technological entrepreneurship is one of the strategic priorities of Russia's core universities. A number of universities in the country have already accumulated a certain experience in teaching technology entrepreneurship. Formation of basic universities as centers of strategic development of the region and its single-industry towns requires the development of new approaches to training in technological entrepreneurship. The article deals with the mechanism of constructing an innovative ecosystem that promotes the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in the students of the supporting university. The research is based on the case of the Kemerovo region and features the main characteristics and tasks of the system of teaching technological entrepreneurship in its flagship university, taking into account
the strategy and key problems of the region. The paper reveals the key features of teaching technological entrepreneurship in regions with a predominance of mono-profile municipal entities. It introduces potential directions of development of technological entrepreneurial initiatives related to overcoming the mono-dependence of the cities of the Kemerovo region. The results can be used in teaching technological entrepreneurship for the benefit of single-industry towns, as well as in compiling municipal order for educational services.

Published: April 2018

Introduction:

The present work focused on the biodegradation capability of a white-rot fungus, thePleurotus sajor-caju, when exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Methods:

The research was carried out by usingin vitrosystems developed on Petri dishes, to evaluate the fungal tolerance to pyrene and chrysene, followed by experiments in liquid medium. The first experimental campaign was necessary to evaluate the conditions promoting fungal growth and tolerance (presence of surfactants, peptone, copper sulphate and lecithin) and it was designed and analysed using statistical techniques.

Results:

It was found that the fungal population growth is strongly inhibited by chrysene presence. On the other hand, pyrene had a mild negative impact on the mycelia growth, which seemed to be positively influenced by the presence of Tween 80 and copper sulphate. Starting from these results, the behaviour ofPleurotus sajor-cajuin presence of pyrene was investigated in liquid medium. Results showed that the depletion of pyrene was evident during a period of 20 days, and removal efficiency was greater than 90%.
Study of Atmospheric Discharges by Near Surface Electric Field Measurements
Authors: Mkrtchyan Hripsime
Published: April 2018

Background:

In this work the disturbances of the near surface electric field are investigated, which are attributed to different types of atmospheric discharges: intracloud or cloud-to-ground.

Method:

The patterns of the lightning occurrences are discussed as measured by the network of the electric field mills located at the stations of Cosmic Ray Division of Yerevan Physics Institute. Discharges make changes in the near surface electric field, which can be separated into two groups. The differences of those two groups and shapes of the recovery curves are discussed using the data from electric field mills network for a stormy day on May 23, 2015.

Conclusion:

The results presented in this work show that magnitudes of field changes from one of the groups are larger and have shorter duration compared to another one. Recovery curves of the near surface electric field produced by lightning flashes also have a power-law or a linear dependence besides exponential shape.

BACKGROUND

Caregivers (ie, family members and friends) play a vital role in the ongoing care and well-being of community-living older persons with Alzheimer disease and related dementia in combination with multiple chronic conditions. However, they often do so to the detriment of their own physical, mental, and emotional health. Caregivers often experience multiple challenges in their caregiving roles and responsibilities. Recent evidence suggests that Web-based interventions have the potential to support caregivers by decreasing caregiver stress and burden. However, we know little about how Web-based supports help caregivers.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this paper were to describe (1) how the use of a self-administered, psychosocial, supportive, Web-based Transition Toolkit, My Tools 4 Care (MT4C), designed by atmist, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, helped caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer disease and related dementia and multiple chronic conditions; (2) which features of MT4C caregivers found most and least beneficial; and (3) what changes would they would recommend making to MT4C.

METHODS

This study was part of a larger multisite mixed-methods pragmatic randomized controlled trial. The qualitative portion of the study and the focus of this paper used a qualitative descriptive design. Data collectors conducted semistructured, open-ended, telephone interviews with study participants who were randomly allocated to use MT4C for 3 months. All interviews were audio-taped and ranged from 20 to 40 min. Interviews were conducted at 1 and 3 months following a baseline interview. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze collected data.

RESULTS

Fifty-six caregivers from Alberta and Ontario, Canada, participated in either one or both of the follow-up interviews (89 interviews in total). Caregivers explained that using MT4C (1) encouraged reflection; (2) encouraged sharing of caregiving experiences; (3) provided a source of information and education; (4) provided affirmation; and for some participants (5) did not help. Caregivers also described features of MT4C that they found most and least beneficial and changes they would recommend making to MT4C.

CONCLUSIONS

Study results indicate that a self-administered psychosocial supportive Web-based resource helps caregivers of community-dwelling older adults with Alzheimer disease and related dementia and multiple chronic conditions with their complex caregiving roles and responsibilities. The use of MT4C also helped caregivers in identifying supports for caring, caring for self, and planning for future caregiving roles and responsibilities. Caregivers shared important recommendations for future development of Web-based supports.

The long-term exposure of doxorubicin (Dox) causes enhancement in MDR1 expression that leads tobreast cancer cell resistance. This protein become a serious problem in cancer treatment and also well-knownas negative prognostic factor in breast cancer malignancies. The new approach using natural chemopreventivesubstance was developed to inhibit this resistance progress. This study was aimed to investigate whether ethylacetate fraction of Gynura procumnens (FEG) can prevent chemoresistance through suppressing the MDR1 proteinexpression. MCF-7 cell was used as chemoresistance cell model. The MCF-7 cells were maintained with 100nM Dox-contained medium for five weeks. The chemoprevention effect of FEG was investigated by treatedMCF-7/Dox with sub-toxic concentration of FEG. The cytotoxic properties of MCF-7 cells were determinedusing MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay. Immunofluorescenceand western blotting analysis was performed to detect the MDR1 expression. MCF-7/Dox cells need higherconcentration for inhibiting cell growth, were compared with MCF-7, shown by IC50value. The MDR1 proteinlevel elevated after Dox exposure in time dependent manner. The FEG treatment decreased MDR-1 proteinlevel with dose dependent manner. FEG in combination with DOX potentiates the DOX effect on breast cancercell growth inhibition. The FEG prevents the chemoresistance development in breast cancer cell line, MCF-7induced by Dox through inhibiting MDR1 expression. The additional of FEG enhances Dox effect on cell deathinduction. Thus, FEG could be developed as co-chemotherapy agent for reverse multidrug resistance

Complication of retinopathy in type 2 DM is caused of lower level of NO. Nitric oxide level is synthesizedfrom L-arginin in reaction that catalyze Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 3. The T-786C mutation in NOS 3 genedecreases the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 3 so decreases NO synthesis. To investigate theassociation between T-786C polymorphism in NOS 3 gene with NO level of diabetic retinopathy patients. Thisstudy was a case control study, consist of 40 patient of type 2 diabetic with DR (case group) and 40 patient oftype 2 diabetic without DR (control group) of Javanese ethnic. The genotyping of T-786C polymorphism wasperformed by PCR-RLFP. Level of NO was measured by spectrophotometry. Chi square test and odd ratiowere used to analyze the association of the T-786C polymorphism in NOS 3 gene with DR. Differences ofNO level between TT and TC genotypes were analyzed using independent t test. The distribution of T-786Cpolymorphism in NOS 3 gene of DR subjects showed that frequency of TT genotype was 22.5% and TC genotypewas 77.5%. Non DR subjects showed the frequency of TT genotype was 50% and TC genotype was 50%, (p=0.011). Frequency of T allele in DR group was 61.25% and C allele was 38.75%, and frequency of T allele in nonDR group was 75% and C allele was 25%, (p= 0.62). Odd ratio of TC genotype was 3.444(CI; 95% : 0.964-3.735)and C allele was 1.898 (CI; 95% : 1.310-9.058). The NO level of TC genotype was 1.43+0.126 and TT genotypewas 11.27+5.87 (p=0.000). Level of NO between RD and non RD showed not different significantly (p=0.160)for retinopathy. The T-786C polymorphism of NOS 3 gene is risk factor for retinopathy in type 2 DiabetesMellitus. Individual with TC genotype of NOS 3 gene has lower level of NO than TT genotype.
