EL VIAJE POR IRÁN DE GARCÍA DE SILVA Y FIGUEROA. UN RECORRIDO TOPOGRÁFICO Y CARTOGRÁFICO
Authors: Escribano Martín Fernando
Published: December 2020

Los Comentarios de don García de Silva y Figueroa, terminados en 1624, al final de una embajada que envió Felipe III de Castilla al sah Abbas I de Persia con distintos propósitos, se pueden leer desde distintas ópticas. En esta comunicación vamos a ubicar y contextualizar la embajada en su tiempo y en las relaciones Europa-Persia que se estaban produciendo y eran muy intensas. Pretendemos también hacer un repaso a la producción literaria que se produjo como consecuencia de estos viajes y realizaremos una revisión global de la cartografía del tiempo y del lugar. En este marco, vamos a recorrer la descripción del país de Persia que hizo don García en su libro V, la de aquellos territorios que no había recorrido en sus viajes por el país, a veces siguiendo o en busca del sah, para entender qué fuentes manejaba, cómo las interpretaba, estudiar su método de trabajo y analizar qué información aporta. Es este un estudio parcial, casi una cata, que nos permite comprender mejor la labor del embajador, al tiempo que seguir trabajando en el análisis de todo lo que aportaron sus Comentarios, una obra, que como se dirá en esta comunicación, supuso una aventura en sí misma.

Mladi kao publika popularne kulture u Plavome vjesniku (1954. – 1973.)
Authors: Požgaj Petra
Published: December 2020

U ovome se radu izlaže analiza časopisa za mlade Plavi vjesnik (1954. – 1973.) te rasprava posvećenih mladima i popularnoj kulturi koje se objavljuju u istome razdoblju. Time se nastoji pridonijeti proučavanju jugoslavenske kulture koja se oblikuje u razdoblju poslije Drugoga svjetskog rata i to ne samo mapiranjem prethodno neistraženoga područja već i ukazivanjem na izniman značaj polja popularnoga i kategorije omladine za širi problem jugoslavenskoga socijalističkog projekta. Na temelju proučavanja konkretnih artikulacija figure omladine i publike popularne kulture ukazuje se na činjenicu da se omladina izdvaja kao privilegirani prostor pregovaranja napetosti koje obilježavaju odnos jugoslavenske vizije socijalističke modernosti i razvoja polja popularnoga.

Published: December 2020

Con el propósito de demostrar si el análisis automatizado de contenido puede ser efectivo para la identificación y análisis de las representaciones sociales, se recopilaron y analizaron alrededor de tres millares de coplas cantadas en el carnaval de Cajamarca con el software para el Análisis de Textos, T-Lab, buscando identificar las representaciones sociales presentes en ellas. Encontrando que en las representaciones masculinas se muestra un juego de roles que asumirían los géneros, en el que una mujer debe ser joven y linda, para ofertar su cuerpo a cambio del dinero que el hombre le debería proveer, denotando el dominio del hombre sobre la mujer y la tendencia a la devaluación ideológica de esta última. Por el contrario en la representación femenina se evidencia una visión romántica de la pareja. Se hicieron evidentes las representaciones sexistas en las coplas de carnaval de Cajamarca. En ambas representaciones tanto de varones como de mujeres al referirse a los sujetos de sus actitudes de rechazo aluden a la procedencia étnica de los mismos, denotando una ideología racista de devaluación ideológica de la población originaria.
The Petrology of Gabbroids of the Anagram Islands (Wilhelm Archipelago, West Antarctica)
Authors: MYTROKHYN O.V. , BAKHMUTOV V.G. , ALEKSIEIENKO A.G. , MYTROKHINA T.V.
Published: December 2020

The Anagram Islands are located near the Graham Coast of West Antarctica not far from the Ukrainian Antarctic Station "Akademik Vernadsky". Gabbroids that are probably Cretaceous in age predominate in the geological structure of the Anagram Islands. New data on the mode of occurrence of the Anagram gabbroids and their layering were obtained during the seasonal field works of the Ukrainian Antarctic Expeditions in 2017, 2019-2020 years. Samples of the gabbroids were examined by optical microscopy, electron microscopy and microprobe analysis as well as by measuring of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of rocks. The goal of the research was to clarify the geological position and petrographic features of the Anagram gabbroids, to determine the typomorphic features of rock-forming minerals, and to clarify the origin of the layering in gabbroids. It was determined that the bottom part of a large layered gabbroid intrusion is fragmentarily exposed on the Anagram Islands. The continuation of the intrusion is expected in the northeastern and southeastern directions. It was established that primary magmatic textures and mineral composition are preserved in the gabbroids despite the development of metamorphic amphibolization. The gabbroids show typical cumulative textures of magmatic origin. The main cumulative phases are plagioclase (An70-95), clinopyroxene (Wo41-49En34-47), orthopyroxene (Wo2-4En49-71), olivine (Fo67-69), Ti-magnetite and ilmenite. It is proved that the fine rhythmic-gradational layering in the gabbroids was formed by gravitational precipitation of the cumulative minerals on the bottom of the magma chamber and their further sorting by specific gravity due to convection currents. Cryptic layering is firstly discovered in the Anagram gabbroids and is explained by the processes of crystallization differentiation. The latter caused the accumulation of the most calcium plagioclases and the most magnesian mafic minerals in the layered gabbroids forming the bottom part of the intrusion. The present subvertical position of layering is explained by tectonic deformation that resulted in the tilting of the investigated section of the Anagram gabbroid intrusion. This confirmed by the studying of magnetic texture of the gabbroids (by the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility data).

Published: December 2020

O artigo tem por objetivo investigar os desafios e as motivações durante o processo de adoção tardia, assim como a influência desses fatores na construção do vínculo parento-filial. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, por meio de consulta bases de dados virtuais PubMed, BVS, Scopus, Scielo e PsycINFO. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram quatro estudos para análise. Os principais resultados indicam que os pais sentem ansiedade durante o processo de adoção, temem que a criança possa não se sentir pertencente à família e percebem preconceito por parte da família e dos amigos. Ter condição de infertilidade, ser um casal homoparental e desempenhar o papel de cuidador foram as principais motivações para a adoção tardia. Observou-se que a demora dos processos judiciais impacta negativamente o desenvolvimento do vínculo parento-filial, gerando sentimento de desamparo, insegurança e ansiedade nos pais e hostilidade associada ao medo de abandono nas crianças.

Analisa as características essenciais do pensamento neoconservador; como se manifestam no arranjo político que ascendeu ao poder no Brasil na década de 2010; e quais os possíveis influxos que podem representar nas políticas migratórias. Funda-se em revisão de literatura e análise de documentos. Constata se que o pensamento neoconservador se sustenta em uma mescla de valores tradicionais (família, hierarquia, moralidade, autoridade), com ideias liberais na economia, securitização do Estado, nacionalismo, controle da pobreza e fundamentalismo religioso, fomentando uma “política do ódio” ao diferente, podendo comprometer os custosos avanços legislativos no campo das migrações, bem como a liberdade de circulação de pessoas migrantes e a sua inserção e integração nos corpos políticos.
TO OVERCOME THE PLIGHT OF HUNGER
Authors: Silva Flores Consuelo
Published: December 2020

The article addresses the issue of hunger in the world, one of the most perverse phenomena experienced by humanity in this new decade. Starting in 2014, an upward trend in food insecurity began to manifest itself, reaching serious levels in 2019-2020.With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, concern grew about the effects it could have on the food crisis worldwide and, especially, in Latin America and the Caribbean. The latter, because it is the region where commercial access to food is among the most expensive in the world. By the way, Latin America does not face a shortage of food, but on the contrary it has an abundance of them. These contradictions make it necessary to question whether market liberalization has been a solution to solve the problem of hunger at the world level. As well as reviewing the relevance of “official” food security policies and their driving institutions. One of the solutions is to achieve coordinated and permanent action by the States to guarantee the provision of food to the population and prevent the advance of hunger. Our conclusion is that the strengthening of regional integration projects based on food sovereignty is required.
The Makunda Model: An observational study of high quality, accessible healthcare in low-resource settings
Authors: Flint Caleb , Ismavel Vijay Anand , Miriam Ann
Published: December 2020

Background: Mission hospitals in low-resource regions of the world face significant challenges in providing high-quality, accessible care to patients. External funding is limited and can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Additionally, attracting and retaining well-qualified healthcare professionals for more than short stints can seem almost impossible. Located in a remote region in Northeast India, the Makunda Christian Leprosy & General Hospital has developed a model over the past 25 years that has enabled it to sustainably expand access to high-quality care for the region’s poor, which we evaluate in this paper.
Methods: We combine an external assessment by a research team at the Wharton School of Business with internal insights from two leaders at Makunda Hospital to evaluate the Makunda Model. The external assessment included 31 in-depth, on-site interviews of patients, employees, and competitor hospital administrators; physical observation of Makunda’s facilities and operational practices; and an analysis of years of financial documents and hospital statistics.
Results: We studied the impact of the Makunda Model on volumes, efficiency, quality, and community impact. In 2018-19, Makunda Hospital provided 109,549 outpatient visits, 14,731 hospital admissions, 6,588 surgeries (2550 major), and 5,871 baby deliveries in a 162-bed facility with a bed occupancy rate of 88%. The hospital operates with an annual budget of $2.7M ($1 = INR 75.70) and receives only 2.5% of its operating revenue from external sources. The hospital has developed a strong reputation in the community and beyond for providing excellent maternal care and catering to the poor.
Discussion: The hospital’s business model revolves around two key business strategies: (a) poor-centric strategies and (b) thoughtful cost management. Innovative poorcentric strategies include “ability-to-pay”-based pricing, equal services for all (in contrast to a freemium model), hyper-tailored charity (using the “shared meals” and “vital assets” tests), and community engagement. Thoughtful cost management is accomplished by “revised gold standard” treatment protocols and recruitment and retention of an efficient workforce.
Conclusion: We conclude that Makunda Hospital’s unique combination of poor-centric strategies and thoughtful cost management have enabled it to achieve the volumes necessary to sustainably improve access to care for the poor in Northeast India.
The Leningrad Enterprises is Work Features of the People`s Comissariat of Ammunition in 1941
Authors: Andrei Riabkov
Published: December 2020

The organization and maintenance of the industrial production process is a complex management task. During the period of hostilities this task must be solved within the framework of many additional restrictions – mainly due to the conflict of interests rather than due to the forceful influence of the enemy. The organization of production in the frontline zone is a task that requires constant extraordinary efforts from the participants and, often, self-sacrifice. Leningrad, one of the largest industrial centers in the country, found itself in frontline conditions already in September 1941. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War colossal human and material resources were concentrated in the city – according to post-war estimates, "the industry of Leningrad in 1940 gave over 10 % of all industrial production of the USSR" [1, p. 147]. The increase in the volume of military production was carried out in accordance with changes in the international situation. The peak was reached in the summer of 1941, but during the second half of the year production dropped to virtually zero. Particularly important and technologically complex processes were withdrawn from the city until the end of October 1941, most of the plants and factories remaining inside the blockade ring stopped due to the lack of fuel and electricity in December 1941 - early January 1942. During the period of “time of death”, when there were not enough resources even for the full provision of food production, the production of only one type of industrial product continued, albeit in many respects nominally, – ammunition. And it is precisely on the production of ammunition that attention should be focused at analyzing the work of the Leningrad heavy industry in wartime. However, without understanding the peculiarities of the balance of forces in the pre-war period, it will be impossible to understand and evaluate the scale of the organizational and physical work which had been carried out by the leaders and workers of the city directly during the war. The article provides information about all factories and organizations of the People's Commissariat of Ammunition (NKB) of the USSR that operated in Leningrad and the surrounding suburbs in 1941, both before and after the start of the Great Patriotic War: location, number of personnel, setting data on directors, products characteristics, work features, evacuation sites. Information about the factories of civilian commissariats engaged in the production of ammunition in the pre-war and war periods is given in a limited extent.

Authors: Julia Kantor
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the stay of the State Hermitage collections in Sverdlovsk during the Great Patriotic war. Based on the documents, the author of the article examines the events of the evacuation period, including the organization of evacuation, removal, problems with the placement of exhibits caused by the lack of necessary space for placing the most valuable exhibits, as well as the complexity of the Museum employees’ accommodation. The issue of emergency evacuation of art treasures from Leningrad before the beginning of the blockade has also been raised: curtailing expositions, packaging, routing. In the article it has been shown the participation of regional authorities in solving problems related to the storage of Museum exhibits, has payed attention to the relationship of Museum employees with Sverdlovsk residents, and the stories of mutual assistance and interaction between Sverdlovsk and Leningrad Museum workers have been examined. Also the author considers the aspects of Museum workers ' daily life, problems related to the placement of unique exhibits in Sverdlovsk, and the activities of Sverdlovsk and Republican party and state bodies that responded to the requirements of Museum employees to create the necessary storage conditions. In the article is considered the story related to the placement of the evacuated collections of the Chersonesos archaeological Museum, and it is mentioned that the Crimean artifacts became the part of the Ural branch of the Leningrad Museum. Attention is also paid to the collection of Sverdlovsk posters from the great Patriotic war that was discovered in the Hermitage in the post-Soviet period. The cycles of lectures on the Humanities organized by the Hermitage branch at the Sverdlovsk University, Pedagogical, Legal and Medical Institutes, the Industrial Institute and the Regional Art School have also been referred to in the publication. The article shows the multi-faceted scientific activity of employees of Sverdlovsk branch of the Hermitage who conducted or completed serious scientific research during the evacuation period. One of the most important events during the period when the Hermitage exhibits were in Sverdlovsk was the Exhibition "The heroic military past of the Russian people" (1943). The article is also focused on the multifaceted restoration and educational activities of the Hermitage, which became the basis for professional and personal contacts between Leningrad and Sverdlovsk residents and has continued for 75 years.

Pretreatment with different molecular weight chitosans encourages drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedling
Authors: MOOLPHUERK Namphueng , PATTANAGUL Wattana
Published: December 2020

Drought is a critical environmental constraint limiting plant growth and productivity. Chitosan has been utilized as a potential biostimulant and proven to be effective against drought stress in many plant species. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of pretreatment with different molecular weight (MW) chitosans on some physiological characteristics of rice seedlings under drought stress. Rice seedlings were treated with low (50-190 kDa), medium (190-310 kDa) and high (310-375 kDa) MW chitosans by seed priming and foliar spray. The seedlings were subjected to drought by withholding water for four days. The relative water content (RWC) was reduced from 93% in the control plants to 74% in the droughted plants. The results revealed that treating with chitosan, especially with low MW chitosan, promoted root growth under drought stress. All chitosan treatments led to higher relative water content and photosynthetic pigment under drought condition. Pretreatment with chitosan also induced sugar accumulation, and treating with low MW chitosan significantly increased starch accumulation under drought stress.  In addition, chitosan treatments alleviated the effects caused by drought stress as represented by the decreases in electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), corresponding with the increases in activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) activity.

Published: December 2020

Plant micropropagation via somatic embryogenesis is a powerful technique for rapid mass propagation, especially in para rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.). However, somaclonal variations are the major limitation of this process. To date, DNA fingerprinting, i.e., RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA), Star Codon Targeted (SCoT), and SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats), is one of the most successful technologies to detect the genetic fidelity in the somatic embryos. The aim of present study was to induce somatic embryos from inner integument explants of para rubber cv. ‘RRIM 600’ at different developmental stages and subsequent acclimatization and transplantation (under greenhouse and field conditions) of the propagated seedlings. The genetic stability of the plants derived from somatic embryos was also analysed in comparison to the mother plant using RAPD, SCoT and SSRs markers. Somatic embryos derived from inner integuments of 5-week-old immature seeds after pollination were more efficient than older and younger seeds. In addition, para rubber mother plants cv. ‘RRIM600’ and plants derived from somatic embryogenesis demonstrated the same pattern of DNA fragments, as confirmed by three PCR-based techniques, RAPD, SCoT and SSRs, whereas these in the pattern were different from ‘RRIT 226’, ‘PB 235’, ‘PB 251’, ‘PB 255’ and ‘BMP 24’. Interestingly, T2 plant was found to possess somaclonal variations when compared with mother plant. Based on the results, we confirm that the plants derived from somatic embryogenesis of para rubber cv. ‘RRIM 600’ were true-to-type to that of ‘RRIM 600’ master stock.

Published: December 2020

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can benefit many plants, but their effects on walnuts are not yet known. The present study aimed to analyze the effect of five AMF species, namely, Acaulospora scrobiculata, Diversispora spurca, Glomus etunicatum, G. mosseae and G. versiforme on biomass production, chlorophyll contents, sugar fraction contents, and mineral element contents of walnut (Juglans regia L.) seedlings. The five AMF species colonized roots of walnut, established mycorrhizas in roots and hyphae in soil, and released easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein into soil, whilst D. spurca exhibited the best effect. All the AMF inoculations, except A. scrobiculata, stimulated shoot and root biomass production. Mycorrhizal fungal inoculations collectively increased leaf chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll a+b concentrations, and thus promoted leaf sucrose accumulation, which provides an important mycorrhiza-carbon source to roots. AMF inoculations conferred a positive effect on leaf N, P, K, Mg, Fe, B, Zn and Cu contents, while they reduced leaf Mn contents. These results concluded that AMF were beneficial to the growth and physiological activities of walnut, which gives the support for the AMF application in walnut.
Photochemical responses of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants to heat stress
Authors: DOĞRU Ali
Published: December 2020

In this study, photochemical responses of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivar, ‘Beith Alpha F1’, under moderate and severe heat stress (45 °C and 55 °C, 4 hours) was studied. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurement and the results of the JIP test indicated that severe heat stress was more drastically affected the photosynthetic activity as compared to moderate heat stress in the cotyledons of cucumber plants. Severe heat stress, for example, led to the increased level of Fo and decreased level of Fm, Fv/Fo, and Fv/Fm, suggesting remarkable photoinhibition on electron transport reactions in cucumber plants. Also, severe heat stress caused the increased level of accumulation of inactive reaction centers, resulting in a decreased amount of trapped light energy and electron transport on PSII. The enhanced values of DIo/RC and fDo in the cotyledons of cucumber plants indicated that the trapped energy cannot be used for photochemical reactions and lost as heat. Consequently, the reduction of the plastoquinone pool was partly inhibited due to the decreased yield of photochemistry. As a result, it may be concluded that severe heat stress inhibited PSII activity in several points and decreased photosynthetic yield in the cotyledons of cucumber plants.

Digital transformation is one of the key areas of change in the areas of social production; assessment of the level of technology implementation is an integral tool for the development of companies. The level of manufacturability of a company is of great importance, quality management is an essential part of an organization’s management system and includes the process of measurement, analysis and improvement of quality indicators. Therefore, the development of a model for assessing the level of manufacturability of quality management is an urgent area of science and practice. Grounding of the criteria and development of the model of assessment of a company’s manufacturability level in quality management are a perspective direction for assessment and working out the path for development of digitalization of a company. The suggested model of assessment of a company’s manufacturability in quality management includes criteria of quality of main factors of a production system (product, production, management). It estimates them from the viewpoint of IT development: regulation, automation, robotization and the fulfilled QMS functions: finding out the quality indicators, monitoring and assessment. Relevant assessment of manufacturability of a company suggests measurement of the results on each direction of the activity and integration of the indicators into overall result. The proposed Assessment Model can contribute to the development of a digital platform for quality management, containing processes and indicators for managing the quality of products, processes and systems. Model will make it possible to make informed management decisions on the development of quality management and will allow avoiding unreasonable costs of digitalization with a low level of development of quality management functions and the absence of documented procedures.

Published: December 2020

A game-theoretic model of the influence of players on the dynamics of opinions and the achieved consensus in the social network is considered. The goal of a player is to maintain the opinion of all participants in the vicinity of a predetermined value. If there are several players, then these target values are they can be different. The dynamic game belongs to the class of linear-quadratic games in discrete time. Optimal control and equilibrium are found using the Bellman equation. The solution is achieved in an analytical form. It is shown that in the model with one player, a controlled consensus is achieved in the social network. The two-player model shows that although there is no consensus in the social network, the equilibrium is completely determined by the mean value of the opinion of all participants, which converges to a certain value. The results of numerical modeling for a social network with one and two players are presented.
On the guaranteed estimates of the area of convex subsets of compacts on a plane
Authors: Ушаков Владимир Николаевич , Ushakov Vladimir , Ершов Александр Анатольевич , Ershov Alexandr
Published: December 2020

The paper considers the problem of constructing a convex subset of the largest area in a nonconvex compact on the plane, as well as the problem of constructing a convex subset from which the Hausdorff deviation of the compact is minimal. Since, in the general case, the exact solution of these problems is impossible, the geometric difference between the convex hull of a compact and a circle of a certain radius is proposed as an acceptable replacement for the exact solution. A lower bound for the area of this geometric difference and an upper bound for the Hausdorff deviation from it of a given nonconvex compact set are obtained. As examples, we considered the problem of constructing convex subsets from an alpha-set and a set with a finite Mordell concavity coefficient.

Criminological Indicators of Credit Fraud
Authors: Sereda Irina , Kostyuchenko Maria
Published: December 2020

The spread of such crimes as illegal obtaining of a loan and malicious evasion of settling accounts payable is one of the factors contributing to the growth of credit fraud that considerably worsens the current criminogenic situation and poses a real danger to the economic security of the state. Statistical data characterizing crime fraud have decreasing since 2009, which does not, however, mean that the sphere of lending has become criminologically free, as the above-mentioned crimes are long-term and are uncovered only two or three years after they were committed. This, in its turn, affects the latency level of credit fraud in general. A reduction in the number of registered credit frauds is also influenced by the fact that it is becoming more and more common that the banks turn down practically all types of retail loan applications. Main grounds for refusals are credit history of consumers and their debt burden. Another common ground for refusals is a discrepancy between the data declared by the applicant and the information possessed by the creditor. In a systemic connection with the generally known negative phenomena accompanying social development, these circumstances have a powerful criminogenic potential. An unfavorable trend is also observed for one of the key indicators of the work of law enforcement bodies - that of the share of solved crimes of this type. The analysis of criminotropic risks showed that the possibility of being sentenced to incarceration for credit fraud is, on average, 2,1 %. It testifies to the absence of a real possibility of being punished for such crimes.

Published: December 2020

The article deals with current and controversial issue in the criminal science, specifically the need for the Russian criminal justice process to have an institute to return a criminal case to the procurator at the stage of appointment and preparation of the court hearing. The author emphasizes that during the continuance of RSFSR Code of Criminal Procedure, a special emphasis was put on it as a guarantee of the delivery of justice and the rights of the participants in the proceedings, that put in place the arrangements necessary for an effective court trial. The goal of modern judicial reform is to establish an independent judiciary whose main function is the delivery of justice which can be implemented in criminal proceedings only in adversary criminal proceedings. Since the beginning of its implementation, attitudes towards the institution of returning a criminal case by a court to a procurator to correct lacunae, loopholes, contradictions, irregularities or flaws in pre-trial proceedings have changed dramatically. It is perceived as an attribute of the courts prosecutorial activities, which is inconsistent with its new role as an independent body to resolve legal disputes between a state and an individual awaiting for a founded and equitable decision from the court. Despite critical rhetoric towards the institution of returning the criminal case to the prosecutor, the author argues that it is necessary due to specific status of the first judicial phase in a staged system of Russian criminal justice process. This institute creates conditions for monitoring and verification activities of judges at this stage, and the corresponding authority of judges to determine the future course of criminal cases brought before the courts. However, the author concludes that the task of rectifying the shortcomings of the prosecution can be addressed at the preliminary hearing introduced by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation to resolve various contentious issues. When it is impossible to remove the obstacles that prevent the court from conducting a trial, the judge may, taking into account the views of the parties, decide to return the case to the prosecutor.
Unproductive expenditure and spectacular merchandise
Authors: Susca Vincenzo
Published: December 2020

In order to fully grasp the spirit of our times, we need to analyse fully the contemporary relationship between spectacle and consumption: spectacular consumption and the spectacle of consumption. The chain of sign merchandise (Baudrillard, 1968) is simultaneously a mean and a vehicle of adherence to the productive and political system. It takes on extraordinary value from the moment it welcomes all that is non-rational in a rationalised society, as well as it embodies the anti-utilitarian aspect of a social system based solely on the logic of utilitarianism. In this sense, the cycle of spectacular consumption coincides with the consumption of bourgeois individuality, while the mass that has become public becomes the matrix in which the subject loses itself and cushions the weight of change in a way to express the impulses marginalized by the social system.

This work fo-cused in the problem of Urban mobility, which in an unplanned urban growth sce-nario might generate negative impacts, like traffic jams, air pollution and infras-tructure flaws. Based on real data for the city of São José dos Campos, the mobil-ity of a typical day was represented. These data consist of an Origin-Destinationsurvey: the city was divided into 55 traffic zones and more than 20 thousand peo-ple were asked about the time of departure and arrival of each trip. The devel-opment was divided in 3 steps, pre-processing, processing and post-processing.In preprocessing, an origin destination graph was generated with a 3-dimensionmatrix representation, in language C++, in which each vertex represents a traf-fic zone and the edges are weighted by the flux of people, with 24 time variations,one for each hour of the day. In the processing, in C, the igraph library was usedto calculate the topological properties such as degree (number of connections),clustering coefficient (neighbors redundancy) and diameter (longest distance) ofa network of mobility over a typical day and we also applied the textit walktrapalgorithm for community detection. In the post-processing, using the concept of(geo) graphs, graphs represented with geolocation, the GeoCNet was developed. Itis a tool that allows the creation of a textit shapefile with the topological prop-erties of the graph.

Bone mass loss contributes to the risk of bone fracture in the elderly. Many factors including age, obesity, estrogen and diet, are associated with bone mass loss. Mice studies suggested that the gut microbiome might affect the bone mass by regulating the immune system, however there has been little evidence from human studies. Bone loss increases after menopause. Therefore, we have recruited 361 Chinese post-menopausal women to collect their fecal samples and metadata to conduct metagenome-wide association study (MWAS) to investigate the influence of the gut microbiome on bone health. Gut microbiome sequencing data were produced using BGISEQ500 sequencing, Bone mineral density (BMD) was calculated using Hologic dual energy X-ray machine, body mass index (BMI) and age were also recorded.This collected data allows exploration of the gut microbial diversity and their links to bone mass loss, as well as microbial markers for bone mineral density. In addition, these data are potentially useful in studying the role the gut microbiota might play in bone mass loss and in exploring the bone mass loss process.
Translating the “Dead Indian”: Kent Monkman, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, and the Painting of the American West
Authors: Perry Nicole
Published: December 2020

This article examines the work of Kent Monkman, an artist of Cree ancestry, and his Indigenous interventions into art of the American West. Known for his provocative and highly sexualized genre, Monkman, along with his gender fluid alter ego and companion, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, have been upsetting the art world for more than a decade. By using Thomas King’s (Cherokee) concept of the “Dead Indian”, I examine how Monkman’s work revitalises Indigenous histories and places them in the centre of the paintings by the 19th-century German-American artist of the American West, Albert Bierstadt. By repurposing the scene, Monkman translates the images from anachronistic settler-colonial narratives and uses these images from the past to highlight Indigenous narratives of the American West.
Problems of the practice of the dismissal of the jury due to the tendentiousness of the composition: the effect of a legislative error or defects of judicial practice?
Authors: Nasonov S. A.
Published: December 2020

The article examines problematic issues of theoretical understanding, legislative regulation and application in judicial practice of the criminal procedure the institute of the dismissal of the jury in view of its tendentiousness. The article notes that this institution is not implemented in judicial practice in a positive aspect, since all variations for the manifestation of a possible tendentiousness of the collegium are rejected by appeal and cassation courts. It is concluded that there are two irreparable contradictions in the basis of the procedural consolidation of this institution, which determine the ineffectiveness of its positive application. The first contradiction, considered in the article, arises between the need to motivate the application for the dismissal of the jury in view of its tendentiousness and the amorphousness (uncertainty) of the grounds for such a group challenge. The second contradiction arises between the absence of grounds for peremptory challenge of each of the candidates for jury and the existence of grounds for the dismissal of the jury as a whole. The article concludes that the institution under consideration does not adequately fulfill the function of a legal means ensuring the impartiality and objectivity of the jury, and should be excluded from the legislative model of proceedings in the jury trial of the Russian Federation.

Published: December 2020

The emergence of new sales channels, the irruption of new technologies and changes in personal and professional lifestyles have transformed purchasing behaviors throughout the shopping process. Prior research has addressed the effect of these changes in each channel separately, neglecting the study of such effects in multi-channel environments. This research investigates the relation between channel preference and spillover effect—and more particularly, lock-in effect—in apparel multi-channel retailing, with data collected from a survey of 432 Spanish shoppers. The results of the study facilitate further understanding of spillover effect and help companies improve their omnichannel strategies.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of isolation of drug-resistant ESKAPE pathogens isolation in endometritis after cesarean section; to assess the prognosis of the disease and the effectiveness of initial empirical antimicrobial therapy for isolating multiresistant pathogens.
Methods. A retrospective analysis of all the cases of endometritis after cesarean section in St. Petersburg was performed. The study period: September 2008 September 2019.
Results. 68 (26.7%) out of 255 cases of endometritis after cesarean section were caused by pathogens of the rESKAPE group. In puerperas with endometritis caused by rESKAPE pathogens, the following are more often observed: clinical failures in prescribing initial empirical antimicrobial therapy compared with endometritis of another etiology (p = 0.0012); severe course of infectious process with the risk of its generalization and hysterectomy (p 0.05).
Conclusions. Endometritis after abdominal delivery caused by rESKAPE pathogens is associated with an unfavorable prognosis of the disease and a high risk of ineffective antimicrobial therapy.

Purpose. To study the features of the nature and level of anxiety, vegetative manifestations and adaptation of primary school students with different cognitive development.
Material and methods. The research group consisted of 631 children from secondary schools in Rostov-on-Don and Lugansk. Depending on the cognitive development, the children were divided into 2 groups; the main group was made up of highly intelligent schoolchildren. The study evaluated the features of school anxiety manifestations (according to Beeman N. Phillips questionnaire), autonomic disorders and adaptive potential depending on the level of IQ.
Results. The data analysis showed that younger schoolchildren with high cognitive development showed higher school anxiety, which prevailed in the fourth grade, combined with the stress of adaptation mechanisms. Highly intelligent children are significantly more likely to have autonomic disorders.
Conclusion. The revealed features of adaptive mechanisms that are closely related to psycho-autonomic disorders in highly intellectual children require the development and implementation of preventive measures in educational institutions.
