Connecting Energy Availability and Iron Deficiency with Bone Health: Implications for the Female Athlete
Authors: Goldstein Erica R. , Fukuda David H.
Published: March 2019

An inability to meet the energy demands of sport and support physiological functioning can be the result of chronic energy deficiency. Resting energy expenditure, endocrine disruption, menstrual disturbances, and poor bone health are outcomes of low energy availability (LEA). Iron deficiency (ID) can be an outcome of inadequate intake as well as hepcidin activity and its role in the development of exercise-associated ID and anemia. The purpose of this article is to discuss the effects of ID and anemia in combination with LEA and the implications for a female athlete's bone health.
Nitrogen Fixation: Fixing the Gap between Concept- & Evidence-Based Learning with Legume Biology
Authors: Krieg Christopher P. , Valls Rebecca A. , Vatland Sarah , Gordinier Jennifer , Porter Stephanie S. , von Wettberg Eric
Published: March 2019

Students often struggle to connect concepts with evidence, sometimes because development of research skills has not been emphasized in their science courses. We developed a strategy and protocol to train high school students in research and experimental investigation of questions related to course material on legume biology. The richness of this subject matter allows for adaptations of our framework to address diverse areas of science, including principles in ecology, environmental science, agriculture, microbiology, and evolution. Our framework includes a hands-on classroom inquiry that investigates the symbiotic relationship between nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria and legumes. This student-led, inquiry-based project employs an intellectually demanding, hands-on method of education to build critical research skills using an adaptable model and inexpensive materials. We also report positive student feedback from a post hoc survey to gauge student attitudes toward the activity and the effectiveness of this framework.
Bringing Plants & Soils to Life through a Simple Role-Playing Activity
Authors: Van Nuland Michael E. , Chen Miranda , England Benjamin J.
Published: March 2019

Interactions are at the core of many ecological and evolutionary forces in nature. Plant–soil interactions provide a rich example of the interconnectedness of living systems, but they are hidden from everyday view and overshadowed in the classroom by more popular teaching examples involving animals, reptiles, or invertebrates. To highlight the importance and relevance of plant–soil relationships, we devised a simple role-playing activity suitable for college students. Specifically, the activity simulates how feedbacks between plants and soil environments influence plant species abundance and community richness. With this activity, students will gain a better understanding of these prolific, but overlooked, forms of biological interactions that impact the diversity and functioning of ecosystems.
Molecular Epidemiology of Chlamydia Trachomatis Infection in the Genitourinary Tract
Authors: Landonishi Morsen
Published: March 2019

The genitourinary Chlamydia trachomatis infection is a crucial part of sexually transmitted disease worldwide. In recent years, the incidence rate has increased dramatically, and the proportion of asymptomatic infections is particularly large. Therefore the burden for preventing and controlling its epidemic is severe. With the development of laboratory technology and genomics, the understanding on the molecular epidemiology of genital Chlamydia trachomatis is gradually clearer than ever, and the monitor on its epidemic trends and strain variation is becoming more effective.
Pelagia noctiluca jellyfish: Can lesions and symptoms be prevented or ameliorated?
Authors: Hall Alan , Mathieu Laurence , Blomet Joel
Published: March 2019

Objective: Pelagia noctiluca is a very common jellyfish found on European and Mediterranean coasts. Its venom can induce small to severe skin lesions and systemic toxicity. Hypertonicity and modulation of pH could prevent more nematocysts from discharging and relieve symptoms.

Methods: This open-label observational study was performed on Mediterranean beaches by rescuers under the authorization of the Ministère de l’Interieur en France (French Ministry of the Interior). Lesions were evaluated for size, general appearance, erythema, pain, and edema. A hypertonic amphoteric solution, Jellywash® solution (Laboratoire Prevor, Valmondois, France), was used for decontamination regardless the delay.

Results: 64 victims were exposed to Pelagia noctiluca jellyfish. 78% were > 30 years old, with 27 females and 37 males. 83% of the lesions were small (less than 50 cm2). 78% of the exposed victims were treated within the first 40 minutes. Decontamination had positive results for general appearance in 80% of the victims. Pain decreased in 97% of cases with complete relief in 58% and no effect in 3%. Decontamination was followed by decreased edema in 86% of cases, had a minor effect in 8%, and no effect in 6%.

Conclusion: Decontamination with a hypertonic amphoteric solution can potentially help ameliorate or prevent development of lesions and symptoms due to contact with Pelagia noctiluca jellyfish.
Adsorción de un complejo de hierro sobre nanocristales de dióxido de titanio utilizando un residuo piridina
Authors: Pizarro San Francisco Sebastian Guillermo , Astudillo Julio Priscila Andrea , Delgadillo Acevedo Alvaro
Published: March 2019

En este trabajo se presenta el comportamiento espectroscópico y electroquímico del complejo [Fe(pytpy2)](PF6)2 (donde pytpy es 4'-(piridin-4-il)-2,2':6', 2''-terpiridina) en solución fluida y anclado sobre una película delgada de nanocristales de dióxido de titanio. La constante de formación del aducto se estimó utilizando el modelo isotérmico de Langmuir encontrándose un valor de 1,03x105 M-1 para dicho complejo. El anclaje del complejo sobre la superficie del óxido metálico semiconductor se debe a la interacción del residuo de piridina con los sitios ácidos de Lewis presentes en la superficie del TiO2, observándose que las propiedades espectroscópicas y electroquímicas del complejo no se ven modificadas por la adsorción.
Types of space in Mari verbal charms
Authors: Glukhova Natalia N.
Published: March 2019

The object of the research is the Mari verbal charms; the subject is their lexical level. The aim of this article is to reveal, describe and classify types of space constituting a system of spatial images and symbols. The significance of the verbal charms as a source of information is beyond doubt and lies in the fact that verbal magic formulas are original, statistically undoubted material that has been created and used for centuries on the territories inhabited by the ethnic group.
The methodological basis of the research includes the use of a number of provisions of the theory of system analysis (text is a systemic, a hierarchically structured unit, consisting of a number of elements), which is supplemented by the use of factor (types of space) and statistical types of analysis. They are combined with linguistic methods of semantic research: method of vocabulary analysis, componential and contextual analysis.
Imaginary and real actions necessary to achieve the goals of verbal formulas occur in the space-time continuum. In the folklore reflection of reality, the space is used as a background for the events. It is characterized by geographical and climatic features. The article identifies and analyzes the elements of the terrain and geographical objects defined by the term “types of space”. The algorithm of the research includes a number of following steps. First, the lexical composition of 428 texts from various sources is analyzed. Then, using the definitional and component types of analysis, individual lexemes are defined, denoting the types of space. After this step, the frequency of their use is calculated. The ranking of factors contributes to the allocation of four groups of space types, combining eighteen items. The obtained results make it possible to determine the symbols and archetypes of the space of the Mari folklore genres.
The most common types of space in the analyzed texts consist of 55,7 % of geographical objects and are marked by the following lexemes: ponds and their parts, housing, earth, sky. They have symbolic meanings containing Mari ethnic religious and mythological view of the universe.
On the system of modals: particles and nominals (on the Kazymsky dialect of the Khanty language)
Authors: Kaksin Andrey D.
Published: March 2019

Following the interpretation of a modality as a complex functional and semantic category, which covers various private meaning (except for evidence ones), the author touches upon the question of consistency in the language. The systemically conditioned means of expression of modality in speech and texts is the problem of general and Finno-Ugric linguistics.
The field records of the author (made in 1985–2001) and the works of Khanty literature served as actual material.
In this article, the relationship between speech and text (written) is considered dialectically: they are not contrasted, as they are recognized as different, independent forms of language. However, it is emphasized that speech is by definition has richer intonation, while a written text does not have signs for an adequate and complete reflection of all nuances of pronunciation. It is thought that the basis for the exact expression of any of the modal meanings is the intonation of the phrase, which is different when expressing statements, wishes, consent, prohibition, possibility, necessity, and other attitudes emanating from the speaker.
It recognizes a variety of means to express modality – intonation, lexical, grammatical, and mixed. Particles and modal names are defined as lexical (in the examples, it notes their combination with grammatical elements). Using the example of modal particles and names that function in the the Kazymsky dialect of the Khanty language, it defines the main features of consistency in the language.
National mass media as markers of ethnolinguistic identity of Finno-Ugric peoples in Bashkortostan
Authors: Safin Fail G. , Alekseenko Svetlana S. , Khaliullina Aigul I.
Published: March 2019

Subscription to periodicals indirectly shows the ethnolinguistic identity of the population, as in order to meet ethno-cultural needs individuals give preference to that Mass media which is closer to them by the language and world-view. Along with the regional and republican newspapers and magazines published in Bashkortostan, the Finno-Ugric peoples actively take in periodicals from the neighboring Republics, which makes it possible to meet ethnic, cultural and national language needs more widely.
The article is based on the materials from the archive of the Ufa Federal Postal Service of the Republic of Bashkortostan,a branch of “Post of Russia”, as well as data from the Press Agency of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It makes an attempt to explore the national cultural needs of the Finno-Ugric peoples in the field of printed Press. The work is based on statistical data, including the current archives of Press and Media Agency of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Federal postal service of the Republic of Bashkortostan, as well as the results of population censuses. The principle of historicism, statistical and systematic approaches make the theoretical basis of the research.
In Bashkortostan newspapers for the Mari population are published in the Mari language in two districts – Mishkinskiy and Kaltasinskiy, with 71,5 and 45,9 % of the Mari population according to 2010 census. In Tatyshlinskiy district with 21,5 % of Udmurt population, there is one regional newspaper in the Udmurt language. Taking into account the needs of the Mari population of the Republic, since 1991 the Republican newspaper “Cholman” (“Kama”) has been published in the Mari language. Since 1999 there has been another newspaper with Republican circulation in the Udmurt language – “Oshmes”. Newspapers and magazines in the Mordovian language are not published in Bashkortostan. The Mordovian population subscribes periodicals from the Republic of Mordovia.
The promotion of subscriptions in the Finno-Ugric languages in the Republic would contribute to the further preservation and development of native languages and strengthening the ethnic identity of the Finno-Ugric population in Bashkortostan.
The role of timber industry in the development of the Finno-Ugric regions of Russia in the second half of the XX century: historiographic aspect
Authors: Kulagin Oleg I.
Published: March 2019

The article attempts to consider the role of the timber industry in the development of the Finno-Ugric regions of the USSR, and then the Russian Federation during the second half of the 20th century through the prism of historiography. The purpose of the study is to determine the scientific contribution of specialists from various branches in the study of this topic. The relevance of the study is related to the fact that for many Finno-Ugric regions of Russia, including the Finno-Ugric regions, timber industry complex was and remains the basis of sustainable socio-economic development.
The research methodology is based on traditional principles and methods for historiographic research. These include the principle of historicism, the problem-chronological and comparative historical methods.
The study of the works of various authors on this topic allows us to distinguish three stages in the study of the problem. The first stage can be attributed to studies of the Soviet period, in which a lot of attention was paid to the technological, economic and historical features of the development of timber industry in the Finno-Ugric regions. However, many problems of development of timber industry in Finno-Ugric regions for various reasons have not been thoroughly studied. Since the late 1980s, and especially during the 1990s due to the combination of economic, political and cultural factors the role of timber industry in the development of the Finno-Ugric regions of Russia moved to the periphery of the interests of most researchers. However, in the early 2000s with the beginning of political and economic stabilization, it became necessary to reconsider the historical experience of socio-economic development in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, which led to a revival of interest among researchers and specialists in the subject matter.
Analysis of the research has shown that the role of timber industry as a tool for the development of Finno-Ugric regions has not yet received a comprehensive analysis.
Effects of quercetin on antioxidant potential in the experimental periodontitis development
Authors: Demkovych Andrii , Bondarenko Yurii , Hasiuk Petro
Published: March 2019

The results of experimental research of antioxidant system are presented in this article. Superoxide dismutase activity, catalase, and ceruloplasmin have been determined on the 7th and 14th days of experimental periodontitis development both without correction and with the injection of a water-soluble quercetin drug (corvitin). Hence, there was a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity, intensive increase in catalase activity, and ceruloplasmin maintenance in the blood serum during acute period of inflammatory process. The usage of flavonoid for 7  days resulted in stabilization of radical oxidation due to reduction of superoxide dismutase activity, maintenance at the high-level catalase activity, and ceruloplasmin concentration in the rat’s blood plasma with experimental bacterial-immune periodontitis.
Insulin restriction, medicalisation and the Internet
Authors: Brookes Gavin
Published: March 2019

Diabulimia is a contested eating disorder characterised by the deliberate restriction of insulin by people with type 1 diabetes in order to lose and control body weight. This article reports the first discourse-based study of diabulimia. It employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques afforded by corpus linguistics, a methodology for examining extensive collections of digitised language data, to interrogate the discourse surrounding diabulimia in an approx. 120,000-word collection of messages posted to three English-speaking online diabetes support groups. The analysis shows how, despite lacking official disease status, diabulimia was nonetheless linguistically constructed by the support group contributors as if it were a medically legitimate mental illness. This article explores some of the consequences that such medicalising conceptions are likely to have for people experiencing diabulimia, as well as their implications for health professionals caring for people presenting with this emerging health concern in the future.

A CESSÃO TEMPORÁRIA DE ÚTERO: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE A (IM)POSSIBILIDADE CONTRATUAL À LUZ DO DIREITO CIVIL CONSTITUCIONALIZADO
Authors: Pereira Priscila Maria Da Silva , Cardoso Ana Lucia Brunetta
Published: March 2019

A reprodução humana assistida é uma realidade trazida pelo progresso da biotecnologia, servindo de mecanismo para aqueles impossibilitados de gerar o próprio filho. Entre os métodos trazidos pela ciência está a cessão temporária de útero para gestação. A participação de um terceiro alheio ao projeto parental faz ruir todo o sistema tradicional de presunções de filiação. Diante da inexistência de legislação sobre o tema, é fundamental o aprofundamento do seu estudo. Por tratar da vida humana, o texto aborda a cessão temporária de útero para a gestação analisando a existência ou não de violação dos direitos fundamentais presentes no ordenamento brasileiro, passando pela verificação da possibilidade de estabelecer um contrato, gratuito ou oneroso, à luz do Direito Civil constitucionalizado e encerrando com a análise sobre a filiação a ser atribuída nesses casos. A pesquisa serve de fomento às discussões jurídicas, bem como a outros estudos referentes à necessidade de implementação de uma legislação especial concernente ao assunto.
TRIBUNAL DO JÚRI: UMA ANÁLISE SOBRE A TESE DE CLEMÊNCIA
Authors: Rocha Bruno Andrade da , Rammê Rogério Santos
Published: March 2019

As decisões proferidas pelo Tribunal do Júri têm respaldo constitucional esão soberanas. Entretanto, isso nunca impediu que a acusação recorresse da decisão do Conselho de Sentença, já que o próprio Código de Processo Penal prevê essa possibilidade. Ocorre que alguns tribunais estão reformando a decisão dos jurados pelo fato deles absolverem o acusado pela tese de clemência. Ou seja, os jurados reconhecem o réu como culpado, contudo, resolvem absolvê-lo por uma questão extrajurídica, como a clemência, por exemplo. Diante desse cenário, o presente trabalho recorreu à jurisprudência e à doutrina, para saber se é possível a absolvição do Conselho de Sentença pela tese de clemência, uma vez que não há decisão contrária à prova dos autos, mas sim, possivelmente, um sentimento de justiça pelo tribunal do povo que julga baseado nos pilares constitucionais da soberania e da íntima convicção dos seus veredictos.
AÇÕES AFIRMATIVAS: O EXAME DA RESERVA DE VAGAS PARA NEGROS E PARDOS EM CONCURSOS PÚBLICOS À LUZ DOS PRECEITOS CONSTITUCIONAIS
Authors: Claudino Dayane Duarte , Cardoso Ana Lúcia Brunetta
Published: March 2019

A reserva de vagas em concursos públicos conferida a negros e pardos étema controverso que permeia a sociedade. O povo brasileiro é formadopor variada composição étnica, entretanto, devido a fatores históricos,gerou-se um largo abismo socioeconômico entre brancos, negros e pardos. Frente a esta realidade, viu-se a necessidade da criação de políticas públicas de inclusão, que objetivam, dentre outras diretrizes, reduzir tais desigualdades sociais. Em contraponto a estas medidas, surgem questionamentos relativos à inconstitucionalidade das cotas étnico-raciais em concursos públicos, sob o argumento de que tal prerrogativa colide diretamente com um dos pilares constitucionais mais relevantes de nosso ordenamento jurídico pátrio: o princípio da igualdade. Diante desta polarização de interesses em um país miscigenado, faz-se necessária uma profunda análise sobre o tema. Se por um lado temos tutelado o respeito ao princípio da igualdade, por outro lado, esbarramos em um país que carrega profundas cicatrizes de um passado escravocrata, que reflete suas consequências na formação da sociedade contemporânea. Deste modo,  o tema será abordado com vistas a investigar a constitucionalidade das cotas étnico-raciais em concursos públicos. Para a produção do presente artigo, será utilizada pesquisa doutrinária e análise de caso jurídico, bem como a investigação contextual histórica em que se deu a escravidão no Brasil, seus reflexos na construção do cenário social atual, e os resultados alcançados com a promulgação da Lei 12.990 de 2014. Tal metodologia será adotada com a finalidade de solver questões essenciais levantadas pela sociedade em relação ao tema em epígrafe.
LICITAÇÕES SUSTENTÁVEIS: UM INSTRUMENTO PARA A CONCRETIZAÇÃO DO DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À BOA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA
Authors: Marinho Susan De Mello , Rammê Rogério
Published: March 2019

O processo licitatório foi instituído pela Lei 8.666/93 e teve sua redaçãoatualizada em 2010 pela lei 12.349 estabelecendo que além de assegurados os princípios da isonomia e da proposta mais vantajosa, seja considerada a promoção do desenvolvimento nacional sustentável. Esta atualização se deu, pois o legislador percebeu a necessidade em promover a sustentabilidade, tendo em vista a crescente crise ambiental em que se encontra o planeta. Como é responsabilidade do Estado fazer cumprir o direito de todos os cidadãos a um meio ambiente sadio consolidado pelo artigo 225 da CF/88, foi ressaltado: o direito à boa administração pública. O estudo trará considerações sobre o papel da Administração Pública na gestão eficiente dos recursos financeiros e naturais, analisará de forma comparativa o texto da Lei das Licitações antes e após sua atualização e demonstrará de forma prática de que forma vem sendo aplicada a legislação pelos Poderes. A abordagem do tema não apenas é necessária do ponto de vista da melhor observação do princípio da boa administração pública, mas também no âmbito da função social que as compras públicas devem ter. A sustentabilidade não é um princípio que pode ser objeto da discricionariedade do administrador. É norma cogente e positivada, vinculando o agente ao seu devido cumprimento.
PODER E LIDERANÇA DAS MULHERES NAS CARREIRAS POLÍTICAS, DO JUDICIÁRIO, MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO E NA ADVOCACIA PRIVADA
Authors: Justo Elisandra De Oliveira , Felten Maria Claudia
Published: March 2019

A importância da liderança feminina nas organizações está sendo discutida com maior frequência e por novas perspectivas dentro da academia levando as instituições a investirem em pesquisas e treinamentos para igualdade de gênero. A presença cada vez mais significativa da mulher no mercado de trabalho, e em especial nas instituições públicas e na advocacia, tem deixado mais evidente a sub-representação feminina nos cargos de liderança e em posições de tomada de decisões. A partir dessas informações, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar e discutir os principais aspectos da participação das mulheres na sociedade, e como elas são vistas pelos homens e pelas próprias mulheres. Num primeiro momento se buscou diversas autoras de várias épocas, áreas e especialidades para definirem o que é ser mulher e quais os preconceitos e dificuldades que enfrentam na busca por igualdade de gênero. Logo após se procurou avaliar o quanto as lideranças femininas influenciam na definição dos papeis de gênero e se esta pré concepção do que é ser mulher interfere na ascensão da carreira profissional feminina. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, isto é, o estudo com base em material publicado em livros, revistas, jornais, redes eletrônicas, e conversas com palestrantes e estudiosas sobre o tema foi possível uma compreensão dos desafios para conciliar a vida profissional com a vida pessoal. O escopo do ensaio é, portanto, propor reflexões acerca da divisão sexual do trabalho e o acumulo de funções, quais as ações afirmativas que estão sendo implantadas para garantir igualdade gênero e as vantagens da diversidade no ambiente de trabalho. Para isto foram avaliadas mulheres das carreiras políticas, do judiciário, ministério público e na advocacia privada que conseguiram assumir o topo de suas carreiras quebrando o chamado “teto de vidro”.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify evidence about the effects of growth factor application on venous ulcer healing. Method: Systematic review and meta-analysis, including Randomized Clinical Trials. Searches: Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, LILACS, Web of Science, Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations; Google Scholar and list of references. Results: 802 participants were recruited from the 10 included studies: 472 in the intervention group (growth factors) and 330 as control. The relative risk for the complete healing outcome was 1.06 [95% CI 0.92-1.22], p = 0.41. Participants who received Platelet-Rich Plasma and Epidermal Growth Factor showed a slight tendency to achieve complete healing, but without statistical relevance (p <0.05). Most of the studies were classified as moderate risk of bias. Conclusion: The effect of the application of growth factors for complete healing in venous ulcers is not clear, and clinical trials with methodological quality are required for more accurate recommendations.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the investigative path of analysis and the operationality of concepts based on Martin Heidegger's theoretical and philosophical framework. Method: Theoretical reflection on the phenomenon of pregnancy in a woman with heart disease. Results: Stages of the investigative movement were evidenced based on the pre-reflection related to the object of study and to the search for the phenomenal meaning, using the existential and analytical Hermeneutics as the approach and resulting in the reach of the phenomenal totality. Conclusion: The worldview of the researcher, who considered the subjectivities of the person in a health or disease situation, favored the announcement of the referential by the object of study. Knowledge production in the light of Martin Heidegger's phenomenology unveiled phenomena lived and experienced in the Health and Nursing field, provided of epistemological rigor that demanded appropriation of concepts inherent to the existential analytics.
Direct cost of peripheral catheterization by nurses
Authors: Pires Ana Beatriz Mateus , Lima Antônio Fernandes Costa
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the average direct cost of peripherally inserted central catheterization performed by nurses in a pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit. Method: A quantitative, exploratory-descriptive, single-case study, whose sample consisted of the non-participant observation of 101 peripherally inserted central catheter procedures. The cost was calculated by multiplying the execution time (timed using a chronometer) spent by nursing professionals, participants in the procedure, by the unit cost of direct labor, added to the cost of materials, drugs, and solutions. Results: The average direct cost of the procedure was US$ 326.95 (standard deviation = US$ 84.47), ranging from US$ 99.03 to US$ 530.71, with a median of US$ 326.17. It was impacted by material costs and the direct labor of the nurses. Conclusion: The measurement of the average direct cost of the peripherally inserted central catheter procedure shed light on the financials of consumed resources, indicating possibilities of intervention aiming to increase efficiency in allocating these resources.

Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the symbolic effects of the official military uniform of the nurses from Brazilian Army in World War II. Method: This research was developed using the historical method, with iconographic sources. The data were discussed based on the concepts of the social world theory, by Pierre Bourdieu. Results: The images selected demonstrate the own meaning of the uniforms, evidencing the functions and the social position of those who wear it, being private and obligatory to use it in the military field. Final considerations: In the case of the nurses from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, the appropriation of uniforms promoted the visual communication representing military nurse in the context of war, at the same time it served for distinction purposes in the army, but not necessarily in the nursing field. Symbolically, they remained amongst the walls of the barracks even after the end of the war and, thus, they remained unknown and marked by the symbols of forgetfulness.

Authors: Lourenço Rafaela Gessner , Fornari Lucimara Fabiana , Santos Danyelle Leonette Araújo dos , Fonseca Rosa Maria Godoy Serpa da
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To map the successful experiences of interventions aimed at coping with violence among intimate partners in adolescence, in the light of the gender and generation categories. Method: Scope review carried out in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and PsycINFO databases. We selected primary, empirical, quantitative and qualitative studies published in three languages. Results: From the 3,234 articles found, 31 made up the review. Most of the interventions were carried out at the school level, with focus of interest in developing skills to maintain healthy relationships; types of violence; knowledge of non-violent alternatives to conflict resolution; resources to assist those involved; and role of friends as interveners. Final Considerations: Interventions to confront this phenomenon can modify the affective and sexual relationships in adolescence. In addition to the generation category, the actions should incorporate the gender perspective, related to the processes of construction of femininity and masculinity.

Methods: this is an analytical cross-sectional study in which an online questionnaire was completed by 151 speech and language therapists from the Metropolitan region of Chile. The questionnaire included questions regarding the aims of this study. Results: around a 30% of respondents considered the /l/ phoneme to be acquired between 3,6-4,6 years, a 72% agreed on the /ɾ/ phoneme to be acquired from 4,0 to 4,11 and a 40% declared the acquisition of the /r/ phoneme between 5,6-5,11. When determining a phoneme as acquired, a 46.3% of interviewees referred to do it only when it was produced always and a 30% declared to consider as such when produced more than 50% of the times. When exposed to a real case, respondents provided three different diagnostic options. Conclusion: results showed a wide age range in which speech and language therapists consider the lateral and rhotic phonemes to be acquired, showing no consensus. There are diverse criteria to determine when each phoneme is acquired. Similarly, different opinions were evidenced regarding when a disorder would be defined as phonologic or articulatory.

Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
with an initial weight of 88.61±0.82 mg were fed eight isoenergetic diets
containing dietary protein levels ranging from 20 to 55 % by 5 % increments.
Each diet was feed in triplicate of fish for 6 weeks. Specific growth rates (SGR)
at week 2 and 4 were quadratically affected by the treatments but this trend
disappeared at the end of the experiment. Dietary protein levels linearly
reduced the values of daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio and protein
efficiency rate. The whole body dry matter, ash and lipid concentrations
linearly decreased with dietary protein levels whereas whole body protein was
quadratically affected. The second order polynomial and two break point linear
models (TBPLM) were used to
estimate dietary protein requirements. The later model generated lower residual
sum of squares when SGRWeek4 and
SGRFinal valueswere used as a response.
Minimum dietary protein requirements for SGRWeek4 and SGRFinal
were estimated by the TBPLM as 27.69 and 28.93 % respectively. Briefly, results of the study suggest a minimum dietary protein
requirement of zebrafish is about 29 % for maximum growth rate.

Observing the changes of
zooplanktonic organisms over the years can give us consistent information about
the limnological conditions of the present and future. Our aim in this study
was to determine current conditions of zooplankton fauna of Abant Lake, which
was studied seasonally, and could provide resources for future studies. The
samples of zooplankton were collected horizontally and vertically from Abant
Lake seasonally, between 2015 -2016 from seven stations. At the end of the
study, a total of forty-nine zooplankton species were identified. Of these, 33
belonged to Rotifera, 14 to Cladocera and 2 to Copepoda. In addition, twelve
species of Rotifera, and six species of Cladocera were found as new records for
the Abant Lake.
The Role of Flagship Universities in a Region: Transformation Models
Authors: Baryshnikova Marina , Vashurina Elena , Sharykina Elza , Chinnova Irina , Sergeev Yuri
Published: March 2019

Efforts in providing expert and methodological support for the implementation of flagship university development programs in 2016–2017 yielded a specific-purpose flagship university model and four generic flagship university transformation models: regional technology leader (RTL), regional comprehensive university (RCU), industry sector leader (industrial university) (IL), and trans-border region university (TBRU). The article provides distinctive features of the four models, analysis of the regions where specific types of models pre­vail, and the results of model testing.

As it has been found, flagship universities basically develop along two gene­ric models, RCU (classical universities, nearly half of the project participants) and RTL (engineering universities, one third of the flagship universities). For most universities, the type of transformation model pursued is strongly related to their current status and external environment characteristics. However, a number of universities fall in between and cannot be classified neatly under any particular model due to some specific external and internal factors. In this case, universities may use elements of more than one transformation model at once, yet the choice of model should first of all be based on the regional factors that determine the position and role of the flagship university in terms of the priority areas of regional development.
Co-experiencing Psychotherapy of F. Vasilyuk and Linguistic Turn in Social Sciences, Psychology and Psychotherapy
Authors: Busygina N.P.
Published: March 2019

Co-experiencing psychotherapy of F. Vasilyuk is considered in the context of the linguistic turn in social sciences in the second half of the twentieth century. The linguistic turn meant the change of research style under the influence of increased attention to everyday language. Language is viewed as a form of social action not so much representing reality as constructing it. The linguistic turn in psychology has led to the development of such theoretical and methodological approaches as discursive psychology, narrative psychology, narrative psychotherapy and to the development of such language-oriented methodologies as discourse analysis, narrative analysis, conversation analysis. The main idea of the article is that co-experiencing psychotherapy is a successor of this movement and contributes greatly to the development of language-oriented methodologies in psychology and psychotherapy. It is argued that in co-experiencing psychotherapy the unique methodology of discourse analysis has been proposed and much attention is paid to meaning-making and sense-making processes by means of everyday language. The paper also offers a new interpretation of lifeworlds as stylistics of narrative contemplation of experience. Based on the conversation analysis of training and counseling sessions held by F. Vasilyuk it is argued that the empathetic counseling strategy created in co-experiencing psychotherapy involves repeated reformulations of client statements which open up possibilities for changing the scale of an individual’s experiencing by means of employing the aesthetics of different genres.
Fifteen Years After: Methodology and Ethics of Psychological Help to Young Adults Who Survived Terror Act at Beslan School in Their Childhood
Authors: Gulina M.A. , Ramonova A.A. , Karlova A.A.
Published: March 2019

Main concepts of a theory of psychological trauma including seeing trauma as «a double-edged sword», and a concept of posttraumatic personality growth are outlined. Some new data obtained from the most recent (2017—2018) qualitative study among young adults who survived terror act at Beslan school in 2004, are presented. Issues of potential long-term sequels of unmetabolized trauma; of a probability of a secondary traumatization of a patient under conditions of a directive psychotherapy; and probability of unconscious transmission of unmetabolized trauma to the next generations are raised. Fundamental differences between medical and psychological models of psychotherapeutic help including the differences between discourse of «impact» vs discourse of «reciprocity» are discussed. Fallacy of equating of mental suffering and illness is stressed. Psychological counseling and psychotherapy are considered as a transformation of a latent potential of suffering into strengthening of the ego.
Productive Action
Authors: Elkonin B.D.
Published: March 2019

The key issue of the paper is the question of the means of Existence of human action and, therefore, of the actor himself/herself. The concept of ‘action’ refers to different types of action performance: effective action, play action, learning action and, finally, productive action. The paper focuses on the configuration of the Productive Action since it is the production that is considered a complete form of action performance. The Productive Action is represented as a binding of two Occurrences: the occurrence of overcoming the resistance of the past experience and the occurrence of affirmation of new opportunities — the new field of action — by other people. Only in this affirmation can the productive action be performed and completed. The Productive Action, understood as the binding of the Occurrences, appears as the Act of Development. In its essence, the Productive Action is a try-out: though it the meanings of action are tested, constructed and affirmed. Affirmation of meanings is the affirmation of the author’s journey. This is how action becomes Activity.

Published: March 2019

The article highlights that when disputes concerning upbringing of children are being dealt with by the courts, custody and guardianship authorities may act both as a procedural claimant and as a state authority competent to give an opinion on the merits of the dispute. In cases provided for by law, custody and guardianship authorities are entitled to perform the functions of a jurisdictional body, as well as to participate in proceedings as a defendant.
Lawyers on the Topics Covered by the Mass Media due to the Fact that Mass Media are Interested in Them
Authors: Sokolov N. Ya.
Published: March 2019

The article highlights that, in the legal literature, the authors, for obvious reasons, focus mainly on the analysis of the professional side of the life of lawyers. While the non-professional side of their life stays out of the researchers’ attention. Meanwhile, both sides have an impact on each other and interrelate to a certain extent. Thus, the issues associated with the lawyers’ interest to topics covered by the mass media are interesting not only for scientific but also for practical purposes. In this regard, the article presents the results of the author’s sociological study of the professional culture of lawyers. It is shown how the work experience, age and other factors influence the interest of lawyers in the topics covered by the mass media.
Application of the Principle of Increased Tolerance of Public Persons to Criticism Addressed to Them in the Russian Federation
Authors: Loos E. V.
Published: March 2019

The article discusses the legal and philosophical aspects of the application in the Russian Federation of the principle of increased tolerance of public persons to criticism addressed to them established by the European Court of Human Rights. The author believes that the principle in question contradicts Article 19 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation that guarantees equality of human and civil rights and freedoms regardless of property and official status, membership in public associations, as well as other circumstances. The author has questioned the appropriateness of the introduction of the principle of increased tolerance in Russian law enforcement practice, since it does not contribute to the realization of the “spirit of the law,” while leading to unnecessary accumulation of the law. It is noted that the question of the balance between the right to freedom of expression and opinion and the right to protection of the honour and dignity of the person in the process of criticism of public persons and their activities cannot be settled exhaustively in the legislation as it affects the sphere of morality.
