Changes in the breadth of visual-spatial attention affect subsequent mood
Authors: Hanif Asma , Fenske Mark J.
Published: April 2020

Changes in mood can influence the allocation of attention. Positive affect, for example, is often associated with a broadening of attention, whereas negative affect is often associated with a narrowing of attention. Here we examine whether the link between mood and visuospatial attention also works in the opposite direction. Can changes in the breadth of attention affect subsequent mood? We assessed mood both before and after a global/local visual-perception task that required participants to adopt a relatively broad, neutral, or narrow attentional focus. We found that the Broad-focus task resulted in mood ratings that were higher in both affective valence and arousal than those following the Narrow-focus task and Neutral-focus task. These results build on prior findings to show that changes in the focus of attention can have affective consequences that include altered valence and arousal.
Conspiracy theories and their societal effects during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Pummerer Lotte , Böhm Robert , Lilleholt Lau , Winter Kevin , Zettler Ingo , Sassenberg Kai
Published: April 2020

During COVID-19, conspiracy theories were intensely discussed in the media. Believing in specific conspiracy theories (i.e., explanations for events based on powerholders’ secret arrangements) as well as the general tendency to believe in conspiracy theories—a so-called conspiracy mentality—have been found to predict cognition and behavior with negative societal effects, such as low institutional trust. Accordingly, believing in conspiracy theories around COVID-19 should work against institutional trust, support of governmental regulations and their adoption, as well as societal engagement (e.g., helping members of risk groups). We tested these predictions in a national random sample, an experimental study, and a longitudinal study (Ntotal = 1,213; all studies preregistered). Indeed, believing in and being confronted with a COVID-19 conspiracy theory decreased institutional trust, support of governmental regulations, adoption of physical distancing, and—to some extent—social engagement. Findings underscore that conspiracy theories have severe societal effects in the context of COVID-19.
Defining customer experience and measuring its impact on financial performance of US publicly traded companies
Authors: Bennett Michele , Molisani Anthony
Published: April 2020

Customer experience (CX) is an important contributor to business performance. Yet, studies vary in defining CX, variables and constructs, and measurement to performance. This study defined CX and the direct impact to market capitalization (MC) of US public companies. The CX definition combined Customer Experience Quality (CEQ) with Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), Customer Loyalty (CLY), and Net Promoter Score (NPS). Each dimension was measured to the extent to which they impact MC. The sample consisted of 1605 US customers of US publicly traded companies. Using correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and confirmatory factor analysis, the individual variables of CEQ were positively and significantly correlated with MC and with each other. CEQ, CSAT, CLY, and NPS were also positively and significantly correlated with MC, and the holistic CX was predictive of MC. Companies can apply the insights of the study to improve their customer experience to deliver measurable business and shareholder value.
Christ has Broken the Barrier Between Nations (Eph. 2:11-22): Challenge to Nigerian Christians As Peace Initiators
Authors: Ezeogamba Anthony Ikechukwu , Madukasi Francis Chuks
Published: April 2020

The fundamental difference between the Jews and Gentiles is circumcision. This fact introduced a serious barrier between them. This is to the extent that they could not mingle or relate cordially. Thus, their relationship was like the one that exists between lepers and the healthy. Hence, Gentiles were excluded from membership of Israel, aliens with no part in the covenants of the fatherhood. Christ is the unifying force between the circumcised and the uncircumcised. With his blood, he absolved the Gentiles of all that used to distance them and made the circumcised to know that he is the end of the Law (Rom 10:4). Thus, through his blood he destroyed the hostility that used to be between them. Vv 19-22 expresses the value of this newly founded unity in Christ. Despite the above, there is still divisions in the Church today, hence, absence of peace in Christendom. This article therefore answers why it is so. It aims at showing that rivalry that exists among believers, exposes their insincerity and hypocrisy. It argues that if all Christians understand the mind of Christ in destroying the barrier that existed between nations (Gentiles and Jews), then the whole Christendom would have remained peaceful and truly under one head. Unless this happens, there will be no end to sectarianism, tribalism, and nepotism among Christian believers in Nigeria. The outcome of this article will be significant to all Christians. The method will be exegetical analysis of Ephesians 2:11-22 and Library research.

Development of an Interactive, Patient Case-Based Training Tool for Medical Professional Continuing Education
Authors: Azra Ḥafṣa Azalea
Published: April 2020

Patient case-based simulation is a valuable tool for medical education and professional medical training. The use of patient simulations is limited in the real world by a reliance on live actors or expensive, manikin-based experiences. These experiences are limited in reach, may be inconsistent due to variation in actors, and are expensive to implement. We developed an online case simulation that reproduces many elements of the traditional live-action simulation while incorporating advantages of computer delivery, including immediate feedback on clinical choices, consistency across users, and 24/7 availability. The Patient Case Simulation was presented using an interface based on a typical Electronic Medical Record to be familiar to the medical professional audience. The simulation experience followed the standard sequence of events in a typical encounter between a medical professional and patient in a clinic setting. We conducted formative testing with over 250 users, and a summative test with 35 users. We were able to develop and refine a successful case presentation format. Results and lessons learned are presented.

Authors: Joshi Ujjwal , Pradhan Megha , Dahal Srijana , Tyagi Krishan Kumar
Published: April 2020

Background: Smokeless tobacco use is prevalent in Nepal, and various Smokeless tobacco products are widely available in the country. Areca nut chewing habit is common in Nepal especially in the Terai region adjoining India. This study was aimed to assess the Smokeless Tobacco use and betel nut chewing among adolescents of Bhaktapur and to assess their knowledge about Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF).

Methods: Cross-sectional study was performed among adolescents (age group 10-18) years studying in high schools and colleges in Bhaktapur. Random sampling methods was carried out to select 400 adolescents after taking written consent for questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16.

Results: Among 400 adolescents, only 24 (6%) admitted to using smokeless tobacco and tobacco based products. One hundred sixty-two (40.5%) participants had experienced betel nut chewing where the most common form was betel nut alone. Sixty one (37.8%) of them had tried at special traditional functions. OSMF was never heard before among 392 (98%) of participants.

Conclusions: Smokeless tobacco usage was seen to be less among the participants but areca nut chewing was comparatively high. Traditional functions and predominant usage of betel nut chewing at home emphasizes the need for awareness of harmful effect of betel nut chewing in any forms to be reinforced at one’s home and community. Knowledge about OSMF was seen to be scanty in the adolescents.

Authors: Gautam Ajeevan , Sintakala Chandan
Published: April 2020

Background: The dorsalis pedis artery is the dorsal artery of the foot. The knowledge of any variation in the course and distribution of the artery is clinically important and it is used to record peripheral pulsation. The aim of this study was to study origin, course, relation and branches of the artery. The length and diameter of surgically important branch were recorded.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at dissection hall of anatomy department at Chitwan medical college. Thirty lower limbs from fifteen cadavers were dissected for the study. Photographs were taken at different site of dissection and on finding anomalies. Newborn specimens and Conical enlargements if present were excluded.

Results: The diameter of the artery ranged from 3.0 to 4.6mm and its length ranged between 5.6cm to 8.4cm.The length of deep plantar artery was between 5.6cm to 8.4cm. Double lateral tarsal artery was found in (24)80% of the studied specimen and (6)20% were with single lateral tarsal artery. In 90% of the specimen medial tarsal artery originated as proximal and distal branch form medial aspect of dorsalis pedis. The arcuate artery emerged directly from dorsalis pedis artery in (100%) all studied specimen. The 2nd ,3rd and 4th metatarsal artery were placed on their corresponding intermetatarsal space.

Conclusions: Awareness of anatomical variation of vasculature of foot is important for the vascular surgeons, angiographers and reconstruction surgeons. Dorsalis pedis artery is excellent for the revascularization since it is the largest artery below the ankle joint.

Authors: Joshi Pravin , Belbase Narayan , Mishra Rohit Kumar , Karki Mukesh , Das Lalit Kumar
Published: April 2020

Background: Meckel's diverticulum is the commonest gastrointestinal congenital anomaly. Though most of the cases do not present clinically, they are challenging to diagnose if become symptomatic. Spectrum of clinical presentation may be different from umbilical fistula, omphalomesenteric cyst  to fibrous band from diverticulum  to umbilicus. Bleeding, obstruction and infection are the most common complications. Vast majority of them are detected only intra-operatively.  

 Methods: We analyzed our patients who were intra-operatively diagnosed as symptomatic Meckel's Diverticulum. Socio-demographic profile and immediate outcome of operated patients was analyzed from patient's records.

 Results: Total 9 patients were operated for symptomatic Diverticulitis. All patients were diagnosed intraoperatively. Intestinal obstruction was the commonest presentation. Diverticulectomy was the most common procedure performed followed by wedge resection and segmental bowel resection.

 Conclusions: Symptomatic Meckel’s Diverticulum is difficult to diagnose pre-operatively. Vast majority of them are found only intra-operatively. Most of the patients do well after resection of Meckel's Diverticulum.

 Keywords: Meckel’s diverticulum; surgery; symptoms.

Authors: Nepal Ojashwi , Thapa Samjhana , Kasti Roshan , Jha Reena Kumari , Amatya Mrigendra
Published: April 2020

Background: Public transport drivers are constantly being exposed to stimuli and are at risk of disorder of peripheral nervous system which can be further complicated by comorbidities. Thus, we wanted to examine intactness of tactile discriminatory ability in healthy drivers by comparing it to healthy samples of non-driving population. Since two point discrimination (TPD) test is frequently used for neurological assessment of tactile stimulation we determined and compared various locations in hands of two populations.

Methods: Participants were asked to answer whether they feel one point or two points touch by blunted end of simple compass divider in their hand. The minimum distance between the points at which the participants could answer correctly was noted as two point discrimination value.

Results: Drivers had TPD range of 2-4mm with mean 2.53±0.62 and, 1-4mm with mean 2.6±0.72 at middle finger of right and left hand respectively. Following t-test between drivers versus students, significant difference in the mean TPD value in the proximal palm supplied by median nerve (p=0.016) and proximal palm corresponding to ulnar nerve (p=0.032) on the right hand was found. On the left hand, significant difference in the mean TPD value is found in the proximal palm corresponding to median nerve (p=0.008) and ulnar nerve (p=0.043) respectively.

 

Conclusion: Healthy public transport drivers have less tactile discriminating prowess at proximal palmar surface of hand. Examined distal phalanges and distal palm showed no significant difference in mean of TPD values for healthy drivers versus students.
Statin Drug Therapy May Increase COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Shrestha Sanjaya Kumar
Published: April 2020

Enveloped viruses like Coronavirus acquire their envelope from the host cell membrane which is a bilayer of phospholipid interspersed with cholesterol molecules and proteins. Viruses enter their host cell by coming in contact with their specific receptors. Experiments have shown that when cell membranes are depleted of cholesterol in vitro by Methyl beta cyclodextrin (MβCD) these Coronaviruses are not able to enter the host cell membrane by the process of receptor mediated endocytosis. Statin inhibits HMG Co-A reductase, a key enzyme in the Mevalonate pathway resulting into either very low or no production of endogenous cholesterol by the human cells. This results into upregulation of LDL-R in the cell membrane which may lead to more cholesterol getting incorporated into the cell membrane through LDL-C from the plasma creating greater number of lipid rafts suitable for entry of enveloped viruses by receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Effect of joining temperature on Al2024/Ag/Ti-6Al-4V joints during transient liquid phase bonding
Authors: Naeimian Hamid , Mofid Mohammad Ammar
Published: April 2020

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of bonding temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2024 and Ti-6Al-4V diffusion bonds using a 30 μm pure silver foil as interlayer. Using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, line scan and X-ray diffraction, the interfaces of joints were evaluated. The mechanical properties of joints were measured using Vickers micro-hardness and shear strength. At the bonding temperature of 570°C joints contained a non-uniform distribution of elements and various intermetallic phases. With increasing bonding temperature, an uninterrupted microstructure is achieved. According to the results, liquid eutectic formed between Ag interlayer and Al2024, while solid-state diffusion occurs between the Ag interlayer and Ti-6Al-4V. The increase in bonding temperature from 570 to 580 °C resulted in higher shear strength, from 71 MPa to 121 MPa.

The article presents the results of an analysis of the market for drugs from the group of S07-Beta-blockers, as well as a study of the dynamics of changes in indicators of their socio-economic availability. It was established that during 2015-2019 the number of trade names of drugs increased. In this segment of the market, imported drugs dominate (64.94% -65.91%), as well as single drugs. In addition, there is a significant prevalence of drugs under international names such as C07AB07-Bisoprolol (33.3% of the total assortment of beta-blockers), C07AG02-Carvedilol (19.48%) and C07AB02-Metoprolol (10.83%). Despite all the efforts of the government to implement the «Affordable Drugs» program in 2018, drugs from the C07-Beta blocker group were not available to the country's population. (D≤1.0). This indicates the need to implement a larger government program aimed at improving the socio- economic availability of antihypertensive drugs in Ukraine.
40 YEARS EXPERIENCE OF INTERLOCKING INTRAMEDULLARY METALLIC-POLYMERIC OSTEOSYNTHESIS IN TREATMENT OF 1200 PATIENTS WITH SHAFT FRACTURES
Authors: Vasiuk V. Le.  , Kovalchuk P. Ye.  , Zinchenko A. T.  , Tulyulyuk S. V.
Published: April 2020

The article comprises the main principles of interlocking intramedullary metallic-polymeric nailing (IIMPN) and the experience of its implementation in 1200 cases of shaft fractures during the period of 40 years. Three generations of metallic-polymeric nails and techniques for closed, semi-closed and open IIMPN were designed. The nails can successfully be interlocked with proximal and distal bone fragments without an intraoperative X-ray control. Therefore, the operation can be made in any hospital capable of surgical treatment of fractures. Unlike interlocking metallic nailing, the dynamic variant of IIMPN makes the additional operation of dynamization unnecessary. CMPN-3 and CMPN-2 nails have options of intraoperative axial and lateromedial compression between fragments, which is impossible in interlocking metallic nailing. The carving conjunction between screws and polymer, which flexibility is close to that of the bone, excludes critical concentration of tensions and considerable dynamic loadings, and therefore prevents fractures of the interlocking screws. Good follow-up results were obtained in 94.2% patients.

Vitali Manyk is a modern composer from Ivano-Frankivsk who productively works in various music genres. He is the author of works for symphony orchestra, vocal and chamber instrumental tracks, music background of theatre performances. Lack of critical analysis of his art has caused the topicality of this article. Its main objective is to reveal basic features of the programming principle application in the «Parnassus» cycle which consists of nine pieces for violin solo.Having chosen the figurative music plot which originated from Ancient Greece, V. Manyk declares his interest in European civilization and artistic attainment. On the other hand, he tends to synthesize arts. As you know, the phenomenon of synthesis of the arts also comes from antiquity. According to the Greek mythology, Parnassus is the home of gods and also the residence of the nine muses – the patronesses of arts and sciences.The first piece «Clio» (the muse of history) is aimed at improvisation. At the same time the author accompanies every miniature with remarks concerning instrumentation, manner, tempo, rhythm, provides detailed notes as to the sound dynamics, etc.The second piece «Euterpe» (the muse of lyrical poetry and music) is marked by the lack of lilt organization. Music theme has abundant rhythmics, abrupt texture and dynamic changes.The third and the fourth pieces «Thalia» (the muse of comedy) and «Melpomene» (the muse of tragedy) expose quite the opposite images and emotions of the Greek theatre genres. However, the composer applies means of humorous and tragic music spheres of different epochs.The fifth piece «Polyhymnia» (the muse of sacred poetry and pantomime) is based on the intonations of antique chants. Melody develops gradually, has narrow range, but in the middle of the piece reaches significant dramatic effect. The sixth miniature «Urania» (the muse of astronomy) is the illustration of a starry night. Quiet and peaceful sounding dominates, short motives are directed upwards.In the seventh piece «Terpsichore» (the muse of dance and choral singing), with the help of antiphonous sounding of imaginary male and female groups of singers, the author reproduces the model of an ancient syncretic roundelay. The eighth miniature «Erato» (the muse of love lyrics) resembles the second piece (Euterpe) in images’ character and exposition.The last piece «Calliope» (the muse of epos) reflects V. Manyk’s aspiration to generalize the contents of the entire cycle. That’s why short reminiscences of all previous pieces are quite prominent here.The cycle of short miniatures is enriched with the wide range of historic, cultural and even philosophical connotations. Programme plot embodies by means of expression such as improvisation of musical texture, s broad range articulation, characteristic contrast melodies and motifs, the uniqueness semantic structure work.

Authors: Yagubova Samira Mammadhasan
Published: April 2020

The goal of the study was to study the morphofunctional properties of ultrastructural changes in the cellular and extracellular structures of the adrenal glands during hypobaric hypoxia. The materials of the study were 30 male white rats weighing 180-200 grams. Thus, the results of the conducted studies showed that morphofunctional changes under the effects of acute hypoxia, which develop in different zones of the adrenal cortex, also change the histofunctional state of the adrenal medulla. Morphometric indicators of the adrenal parenchyma increase from the 5th day of hypoxia and are characterized by the increased blood supply to the adrenal glands, which occurs both by the dilatation of capillaries and by an increase in their density.

Evaluation of Postpartum Counseling on Future Health Risks Associated with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Authors: Triebwasser Jourdie , Langen Elizabeth S. , Lewey Jennifer , Triebwasser Jourdie
Published: April 2020

Background: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Heart
Association recommend that women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy be counseled on lifelong
cardiovascular risks and transitioned to primary care for ongoing screening and management.
Objective: To assess frequency and content of postpartum counseling regarding cardiovascular risk and
follow-up among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
Study Design: A secondary analysis of a randomized trial of women with hypertensive disorders of
pregnancy, excluding chronic hypertension, performed at a single tertiary care academic hospital. We
abstracted documented counseling on hypertensive disorders from the discharge summary and postpartum
visit note in the electronic medical record. We defined counseling as documentation of any one of the
following: 1) recommending aspirin in a future pregnancy, 2) follow-up with primary care, or 3) lifelong
risk of cardiovascular disease. We used logistic regression models to estimate adjusted odds for receiving
counseling.
Results: Seventy-four women enrolled in the study. A hypertensive diagnosis was documented for 71
women (96.0%) in the discharge summary, but only 11 (14.9%) had any documented counseling in the
discharge summary or postpartum visit note. Of the 11 women counseled, 5 (6.7%) were counseled on
taking aspirin in a future pregnancy, 5 (6.7%) were counseled on follow-up with primary care, and only 3
(4.1%) were counseled on the lifelong cardiovascular risk associated with hypertension in pregnancy. Two
women (2.7%) were counseled on follow-up with primary care and lifelong cardiovascular risk. There were
no participants counseled on all three components. Later gestational age at delivery was associated with
lower odds of counseling (adjusted OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.27-0.89).
Conclusion: Despite consistent evidence on long-term risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy,
counseling about those risks is suboptimal. Improved communication of risks is the first step towards
improving maternal health in the “fourth trimester” and beyond.

patient with a large abdominal mass, critical illness, and tumor lysis syndrome.
Case: A female presented with acute abdominal pain. Physical exam showed a large abdominal mass and
abdominal rigidity. Serial laboratory tests showed a drop in hemoglobin level, progressive renal failure and
serum uric acid and phosphate concentrations compatible with tumor lysis syndrome. Computed
tomography showed a 30 cm mass filling the pelvis and abdomen. At an emergency exploratory laparotomy,
a 360 degrees torsion of the uterus was found. An uneventful total hysterectomy was done. After surgery
renal function restored.
Conclusion: Uterine torsion is rare and can be potentially life threatening when presenting as tumor lysis
syndrome

Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are a group of rare, benign tumors that involve the synovium,
bursae and tendon sheath and arise from the synovial tissue of the tendon sheath. Here, we reported a 21-
year-old male patient with a 4-year history of mild pain in his right knee. Magnetic resonance (MR) study
revealed a well-defined solid mass which was successfully excised by arthroscopic surgery. No recurrence
was observed after 6 months of follow up. This is a first of its kind case report of a (TGCT) arising from the
tibial attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
From "De Facto King" to Peasants' Communes

This article presents a conceptual history of representation in the political debates of the Polish émigré community in the period 1832–1846/48. As I argue, while the concept was present in the output of all political environments of the Polish Great Emigration, there were more discrepancies than similarities about how to understand it. As a result of debates about what the Polish diaspora in exile actually was and who had the right to represent it, the concept became a part and parcel of political frays. In this way, the right to use it—and consequently to represent the whole Polish community and Polish nation as well—occupied a central place in the evolution of the concept of representation.

The article presents the results of a study of the synthesis of composite materials based on coal waste combined with coal and polymer raw materials, using ultrasonic chemistry methods and determining the possibility of their use as an active mineral additive for replacing part of cement in fine-grained concrete. By varying the composition of the matrix and the filler, a composite material is obtained whose properties are quantitatively and qualitatively different from the properties of each of its components. As a filler in the composition of the composite material, burned rock is used - the product of oxidative self-firing of waste rock, extracted together with coal to the surface. Burned rocks contain an organic part (unburned carbonaceous impurities) and a mineral part (calcined clay-sandy part). Features of the material composition of burned rocks, coal industry waste allows us to consider them as secondary mineral raw materials. The binder in the composite material used is thiourea-formaldehyde resin. The resin was obtained by the standard method of polycondensation of thiourea with formaldehyde at a molar ratio of thiocarbamide:formaldehyde = 1:2. The choice of thiourea-formaldehyde resin is due to the availability, water solubility and the presence of a sufficient number of proton acceptor centers capable of complexation with a modifier. The modifier for composite materials used a coal waste product related to promising natural polymers in nanotechnology, sodium humate, extracted by alkaline extraction from oxidized coal from the Shubarkol deposit. Sodium humate refers to polyfunctional polymers with a unique combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sites, a variety of oxygen-containing functional groups, aromatic, heterocyclic and other groups. All this suggests a high ability of sodium humate to intermacromolecular interactions with both the burned rock and thiourea-formaldehyde resin. Composite material based on burned rock, sodium humate with thiourea-formaldehyde resin was synthesized by impregnation using ultrasonic treatment. The decisive role of ultrasonic activation is shown and the effectiveness of its application to the process of producing composites is noted. The modern physicochemical and physicomechanical methods have characterized the composition and structure of the obtained composite materials. The mineralogical composition of composite materials was studied using x-ray phase analysis, and surface morphology based on microscopic analysis using a scanning electron microscope. Filling the composite material with burnt rock provides higher physical and mechanical properties. The strength of burnt-filled composites is higher than that of samples of a similar composition without burnt rock. The resulting composite can be used as a building material. Key words: composite material, filler, binder, burned rock, thiourea-formaldehyde resin.

One of the main priorities of the innovative industrialization of the country is the development of metallurgy and the production of finished products. In this regard, the application of new methods for producing metals and their compounds or extracting them from solutions is an important task of our time. One of the promising methods applied currently is the polarization by alternating current of industrial frequency, which arouses the interest of researchers both from the point of view of oxidation and destruction of the passivating film. The peculiarity of the processes occurring under the action of industrial alternating current is that, by changing the direction of the current, it is possible to remove the oxide film and create conditions for the metal to further dissolve.
The work shows the distinctive features of electrochemical processes occurring on a silver electrode during electrolysis by industrial alternating current in a solution of ferrosyne-sintered potassium by the method of rational mathematical planning. The optimal conditions for the dissolution of silver are determined by studying the effect of current density at the electrodes, the concentration and temperature of the electrolyte, the duration of the electrolysis and the frequency of the alternating current. It is shown that when polarized with an alternating current of silver in a pair with a titanium electrode, the passivation process of the silver electrode is eliminated and the dissolution rate of the metal increases.
Keywords: alternating current, silver, electrode, electrolysis, closeness of current, current output.

The article is devoted to the reactions of [2+3] cycloaddition of pyridine-4-aldehyde to fullerene C60, as well as to the preparation of its water-soluble from of the resulting reaction product N-methyl-2-(pyrid-4-yl)-3,4-fulleropyrrolidine. A literature review of organic compounds containing the pyrrolidine cycle was carried out. It is noted that such compounds have a wide spectrum of biological activity and are part of many drugs of both natural and synthetic origin. In this regard, an interesting “pharmacophore” group is the pyridine cycle, which is part of about 5% of all known drugs. The reaction of pyridin-4-aldehyde with fullerene C60 was carried out in the presence of sarcosine under the conditions of the Prato reaction. The reaction mechanism of 1,2-dipolar cycloaddition, leading to fulleropyrrolidine, is described. The water-soluble complex fulleropyrrolidinas with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone was obtained. The structures of the synthesized compounds were studied by IR, UV, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as well as by the date of two-dimensional spectra of COSY (1H-1H) and HMQC (1H-13H). The values of chemical shifts, multiplicity and integrated intensity of 1H and 13C NMR signals in one-dimensional NMR spectra were determined. Using spectra in the formats COSY (1H-1H) and HMQC (1H-13C) homo- and heteronuclear interaction were established, confirming the structure of the studied compounds. Key words: fullerene C60, sarcosine, pyridine-4-aldehyde, fulleropyrrolidines, Prato reaction, NMR spectra.

Currently, enterprises of the metallurgical complex in Kazakhstan are faced with the problem of raw materials quality and the impossibility of productive processing of a number of ores. In recent years, not a single significant mineral deposit has been discovered, and previously discovered deposits are not of industrial interest, due to the low content of mineral components. «Kazatomprom» enterprises producing uranium by in-situ leaching method (ISL) were no exception. Today, the metal content in productive solutions is steadily decreasing; to increase the concentration of uranium production, it is necessary to increase the amount of reagent consumption, which leads to significant costs. The cost of uranium in the world market has decreased, significant production costs lead to a decrease in the profitability of production. The mechanism of uranium oxidation by iron ions is catalytic in nature. To regenerate iron, air oxygen was supplied to the leaching solution along with the oxidizing agent. The paper presents the results of studies on the possibility of intensifying ISL of uranium by introducing sodium nitrite into the leaching solution with additional supply of compressed air or oxygen to the leaching solution to ensure the catalytic oxidation of iron (II) ions by dissolved oxygen. The positive effect of stirring is proven. Research works at the testing ground with simultaneous supply of sodium nitrite and pure oxygen to LS allowed reaching 1.0 and 1.2 g/l Fe (III) concentrations. Key words: uranium, in-situ leaching, leaching solution, sodium nitrite, oxidation.
A Luta por Reconhecimento: base para uma educação voltada à construção da cidadania?
Authors: Back Rainri , Lucero Everton Frask
Published: April 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo indagar se e como o instrumental teórico apresentado por Axel Honneth em Luta por reconhecimento: a gramática dos conflitos sociais pode contribuir para aprimorar o processo educacional orientado à construção da cidadania. Essa indagação visa evidenciar locus privilegiado para o ensino de filosofia, em particular, no nível médio, voltado ao reforço de valores e referências para a vida em sociedade que orientem os educandos na busca de autorrealização pessoal como cidadãos. No ensino médio, sugere-se a adoção de práticas pedagógicas que remetam ao aprendizado das três etapas de reconhecimento identificadas por Honneth (o amor, o direito e a solidariedade) e ao desenvolvimento de seus correspondentes reflexos nas relações sociais, quais sejam a autoconfiança, o autorrespeito e a autoestima.
