Published: February 2020

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in advanced stages leads to some changes in lifestyle, health status, and personal functioning and consequently affects the patients’ quality of life. Objectives: Given the high prevalence of CKD in the country, this study aimed to determine quality of life and its related factors in this group of patients. Since there has been low focus on quality of life in pre-dialysis stage, this study compared the two groups of pre-dialysis and hemodialysis patients regarding quality of life. Patients and Methods: This descriptive analytical research was conducted as a cross-sectional study. Using convenience sampling method, we selected a total of 60 kidney failure patients in pre-dialysis stage that referred to nephrology clinics in Semnan and 60 hemodialysis patients who referred to the dialysis center of Kosar hospital in Semnan. Using SF-36 questionnaire and a demographic form, the required data was collected via interviews. Results: The results showed that the majority of patients had a moderate quality of life. Concerning demographic variables, quality of life had a significant relationship with age, gender, marital status, number of children, employment status, education level, income level, hemoglobin, underlying disease, duration of disease, and duration of dialysis. Moreover, patients in pre-dialysis stage had a better score than hemodialysis patients regarding the overall quality of life (P≤0.05). Conclusion: This study showed, a design a framework for care services provided by medical staffs and supports provided by insurance organizations and other institutions is necessary. The framework must help to improve quality of life of patients and prevent the deterioration of quality of life in advanced stages of the disease.

Authors: Gulzar Kashif , Ahmed Maseer , Junejo Abdul Manan
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Electrolyte imbalance associated with cisplatin is quite prevalent, and increase morbidity in cancer patients. Objectives: To determine the frequency of electrolyte imbalance associated with cisplatin in oral cancer patients. Patients and Methods: Oral cancer patients of more than 16 years of age, who received cisplatin-based cancer chemotherapy, were monitored for electrolyte imbalance (Na, K, Ca and Mg). Patients who were as the known cases of kidney disease (acute or chronic) or those having electrolyte imbalance prior to start of chemotherapy were excluded. Primary outcome was to determine electrolyte imbalance. Results: Among 98 patients, 90 patients developed electrolyte imbalance to cisplatin chemotherapy. The observed electrolyte imbalance included hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalcaemia. Hypokalemia is found to be the most common electrolyte to be affected in the patients (91.8%), whereas hypocalcemia in 88.7%, hypomagnesemia in 67.34% is also observed. Mild hyponatremia is also observed less frequently in 67% of patients. Conclusion: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy has a high potential to cause electrolyte imbalance. Most of the abnormalities were of milder nature and not associated with symptoms. The common electrolyte abnormalities such as hypokalemia, hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia were statistically significant, but hyponatremia was not statistically significant.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Kidney cancer was considered as the ninth common cancer worldwide. Its incidence and mortality has been increasing for decades. However, in recent years in many countries, there is a downward trend. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the incidence and mortality rates of renal cancers in Iran compared to its proportion throughout the world. Materials and Methods: All mortality and incidence rates of all countries were extracted from the Global Cancer Project (GLOBOCAN) (data of 2012). The methods of estimation were quality of the estimation and country-specific that was dependent on the quality and on the amount of the available data of each country. Results: The rates have been shown in eight categories; world, very high human development, high human development, medium human development, low human development, less developed, more developed regions in addition to Iran. The rates of Iran were close to medium human developed region rates. In Iran, 1641 kidney cancers cases have been registered which 981 men and 660 women were reported with an overall incidence rate of 1.9 per 100 000 which is less than world incidence rate for kidney cancers. In Iran, the highest incidence was also among patients with age of 75 years and more. Additionally, the lowest incidence rates were among age groups of less than 15 years and age group of 45- 49 years. Conclusion: Considering the lower incidence and mortality rates of kidney cancer in Iran compared to other regions of the world, conducting more studies to find related-risk factors to decline the incidence rates of disease would be necessary.
Laboratory Conditioning Methods for Asphalt Shingles
Authors: Estes Heather E. , Morrison Murray
Published: February 2020

The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) began testing the wind uplift performance of asphalt shingles in 2011. Self-sealing asphalt shingles have a temperature-activated sealant strip that adheres the bottom surface of a shingle to the top surface of the shingle beneath. Recent IBHS wind testing of asphalt shingle products demonstrated that the strength of the seal between the shingles is the most important factor affecting high-wind performance for self-sealing asphalt shingles. Current industry wind test methods require a conditioning method that uses convective heat, which is different than the radiant heat exposure in the natural environment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of sealant strips when exposed to convective versus radiant heat sources. Four different conditioning protocols were used to activate the sealant strip of 3-tab asphalt shingles. The strength of the sealant for the condition protocols was evaluated using the methodology provided in ASTM D3161, Standard Test Method for Wind Resistance of Steep Slope Roofing Products (Fan-Induced Method), ASTM D6381, Standard Test Method for Measurement of Asphalt Shingle Mechanical Uplift Resistance, and a customized loading protocol that replicates the loading method of ASTM D6381 but is applied over the entire length of a 3-tab shingle (approximately 12 in.). Test results indicated that radiant heat conditioning led to consistent uplift resistance of asphalt shingles that was similar to elevated convective heat conditioning methods.

Serial section electron microscopy (ssEM), a technique where volumes of tissue can be anatomically reconstructed by imaging consecutive tissue slices, has proven to be a powerful tool for the investigation of brain anatomy. Between the process of cutting the slices, or “sections,” and imaging them, however, handling 10°−106delicate sections remains a bottleneck in ssEM, especially for batches in the “mesoscale” regime, i.e., 102–103sections. We present a tissue section handling device that transports and positions sections, accurately and repeatability, for automated, robotic section pick-up and placement onto an imaging substrate. The device interfaces with a conventional ultramicrotomy diamond knife, accomplishing in-line, exact-constraint trapping of sections with 100-μm repeatability. An associated mathematical model includes capillary-based and Stokes-based forces, accurately describing observed behavior and fundamentally extends the modeling of water-air interface forces. Using the device, we demonstrate and describe the limits of reliable handling of hundreds of slices onto a variety of electron and light microscopy substrates without significant defects (n = 8 datasets composed of 126 serial sections in an automated fashion with an average loss rate and throughput of 0.50% and 63 s/section, respectively. In total, this work represents an automated mesoscale serial sectioning system for scalable 3D-EM connectomics.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the capability of pituitary tumours to avoid unregulated cell proliferation are still not well understood. However, the NF-κB transcription factor, which is able to modulate not only cellular senescence but also tumour progression, has emerged as a targeted candidate. This work was focused on the NF-κB role in cellular senescence during the progression of experimental pituitary tumours. Also, the contribution of the signalling pathways in senescence-associated NF-κB activation and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and pro-survival-NF-κB target genes transcription were analysed. A robust NF-κB activation was seen at E20–E40 of tumour development accompanied by a marked SA-β-Gal co-reactivity in the tumour pituitary parenchyma. The induction of TNFα and IL1-β as specific SASP-related NF-κB target genes as well as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl pro-survival genes was shown to be accompanied by increases in the p-p38 MAPK protein levels, starting at the E20 stage and strengthening from 40 to 60 days of tumour growth. It is noteworthy that p-JNK displayed a similar pattern of activation during pituitary tumour development, while p-AKT and p-ERK1/2 were downregulated. By employing a pharmacological strategy to abrogate NF-κB activity, we demonstrated a marked reduction in SA-β-Gal activity and a slight decrease in Ki67 immunopositive cells after NF-κB blockade. These results suggest a central role for NF-κB in the regulation of the cellular senescence programme, leading to the strikingly benign intrinsic nature of pituitary adenomas.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging of sacroiliac joints (MRI SI) is the gold standard imaging tool for axial spondyloarthritis (ax SpA) diagnosis, when the pelvic radiograph is normal or non-conclusive. In fact, subchondral bone marrow edema (BME) is the primary MRI feature of early ax SpA. The associated factors with active sacroiliitis on MRI are still not properly elucidate. The main objective of this study is to identify the relationship between active sacroiliitis on MRI, biomarkers of inflammation and Disease Activity Scores.Materials and methods: Our work could be categorized as a cross sectional study that enrolls all patients with non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr axSpA), meeting each; the assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society axSpA criteria (ASAS 2009), and who were admitted in our Rheumatology Department, in the university hospital Hassan II of Fez (Morocco), all along the period laying between January 2012 and March 2018. The relationship between MRI-SI, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), C reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate was investigated. Results: 105 patients were involved in the study. The average age was [44years ± 13.5]. The Sex ratio was about [1.4]. 29 % of patients were smokers. 76% of cases had active sacroiliitis on MRI, while only 28% had inactive sacroiliitis. The average CRP serum level was roughly [23.5 ± 36mg / l]. On the other side, the ESR blood level was almost [25.9±24mm/h]. 94.2% of patients used non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The average ASDAS value was about [2.3 ± 1]. Whereas the BASDAI one was [4.2± 1], and the BASFI one was about [4± 1.5]. Actually, No significant relationship was found between active sacroiliitis and inflammation’s biomarkers. Indeed, men had 5.6 times more active sacroiliitis, of which smokers had even 3 times more the risk to develop active sacroiliitis, while treatment with NSAIDs was proved to be a protective factor. Conclusion: Biomarkers of inflammation cannot be used as a marker of objective inflammation of sacroiliac joints on MRI; hence, the necessity of MRI screening, and more additional studies with a larger number of patients, should be conducted, to identify this association even better.

The teaching of frozen expressions through the graphic novel Persépolis
Authors: Sclafani Marie-Denise
Published: February 2020

The constant search for suitable teaching materials to achieve the linguistic skills provided by a language teaching course, finds in authentic documents an important instrument for teaching foreign languages. The scientific literature attesting to the effectiveness of the authentic material is wide and consolidated; indeed, a text conceived by a native for a native, and, therefore, not developed for the sole purpose of teaching a foreign language, is intrinsically carrying a cultural richness and a linguistic variety, which are rarely present in any didactic artifact. The authentic material therefore represents an opportunity to meet the fixed expressions that are part of the communicative potential of a language; their teaching is not always taken into account, or is considered, at most, as a positive side effect of the natural process of linguistic acquisition. A communicative act for it to be effective must be able to be understood by the interlocutor ; it is therefore necessary to ensure not only grammatical accuracy and correct pronunciation, but also the understanding and use of frozen sequences. The graphic novel can offer the opportunity to benefit from an authentic language rich in idiomatic expressions, because the effectiveness of dialogues is a transposition of the language spoken in everyday life and familiar expressions. The article aims to show the didactic advantages of a graphic novel in the teaching of the French language. We explain the importance of the text-image relationship and the potential of the verbal language of the graphic novel, and we talk about the need to learn frozen expressions for a good command of the language and the distinctive aspects specific to comics that contribute to their understanding and learning; we show, finally, how the adoption, within the framework of a contrastive analysis of the language, of the graphic novel Persépolis by Marjane Satrapi could help the students to understand more easily the fixed expressions

К вопросу о речевой агрессии и инвективах в современных антилиберальных новых медиа
Authors: Kravcova Liudmila
Published: February 2020

The article explores the use of verbal aggression by anti-liberal “new media”. This source material was selected following the infamous Financial Times interview with Vladimir Putin, where he proclaimed that liberalism had become obsolete. The study explores the purpose, objects, and means of expressing verbal aggression. This study highlights the main ways in which a holistic trend of political philosophy comes under a sustained attack.

The research establishes that lexemes without a default negative connotation, rather than pejorative invectives, are the primary means of expressing aggression. The study further maintains the existence of certain verbal aggression discourse algorithm whereby the use of one potentially aggressive lexeme automatically triggers the use of another lexeme. The analysis shows that anti-liberal discourse is intertwined with antisemitism, homophobia, and negative sentiment towards the internet.

Anti-liberal environment is not limited to pro-government sentiment – occasionally the head of state alsocomes under its critique and its standard allegations. The source of verbal aggression is particularly crucial in the “new media” era: verbal aggression can originate both in governmental institutions and the demassified field. The origin of verbal aggression will further determine its consequences, ranging from impacting the fate of the object of verbal aggression to uniting the supporters sharing the sentiment behind the verbal aggression and/or pro-government opinion. Here neutral lexemes without a default negative connotation take on the function of the means of verbal aggression. This way neutral words such as liberal, Jew, gay become pejorative invectives. These words now carry a high potential for expressing aggression when used in conjunction with other words and phrases.
The Equivalents of the Verbs of Activity in the Spanish Translation of “Metai” (“The Seasons”) by Kristijonas Donelaitis
Authors: Lisauskaitė Agnė
Published: February 2020

The equivalence of translation has become a concern for many Lithuanian researchers. The term equivalence is described in the monograph “Contrastive Semantics” (2007) by AloyzasGudavičius. LionginasPažūsis (2014) discusses problems that arise from the lack of equivalence at word level. There are many articles on approaches or strategies of equivalence (D. Masaitienė 1996; A. Leonavičienė 2010; L. Černiuvienė 2013). Some scholars choose to examine the strategies applied in the translation of some linguistic items in novels (V. Končius& A. Nausėda 2006; C. Caro Dugo 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016; A. Cerri; I. Janavičienė 2016). However, there is a lack of research that analyses the Spanish translation of the poem “Metai” or a particular linguistic aspect of this Spanish text. Recent years saw several attempts to fill this gap(C. Caro Dugo 2014, 2015, 2016; A. Cerri 2015). The current research aims to examine the equivalents of the verbs of activity (VAs) in the Spanish translation of the poem. The paper focuses only on those VAs that express actions performed by persons. The VAs which denote actions performed by other living beings or forces of nature were excluded. The research covers 52 verses with verbs of activity, selected from the poem, and their equivalents in the translation into Spanish, which are subjected to qualitative content analysis and means ofcomparative methodology. 52 constructions that express the concepts of Work, Damaging, Speakon topic, Motion, Ingestion and Entertainment were selected applying the qualitative content analysis. The Spanish equivalents of these constructions are examined through the comparative methodology. The obtained results indicated that the translator is faithful to the original text. In order to preserve the expressiveness of the poem, the Spanish translation uses an abundance of verbal lexemes. It was noticed that the equivalents of the same meaning or verbs with a more general meaning specified by an additional lexeme or construction were the main strategies adopted in VA translation into Spanish. In one case only was a Lithuanian verb changed into a Spanish noun. Idioms and figurative words were also chosen as a VA translation strategy in several instances. Nonetheless, all of these lexemes, as derivative of verbs or verbal forms, preserve the verbal nature.This workshould be useful tothe semanticists and translators.
Maternal Alcohol-Use Disorder and Child Outcomes
Authors: O’Leary Colleen , Lawrence David , Hafekost Katherine , Zubrick Stephen R. , Bower Carol
Published: February 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Investigate the relationship between maternal alcohol-use disorder and multiple biological and social child outcomes, including birth outcomes, child protection, justice contact, and academic outcomes for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children.

METHODS:

Women with a birth recorded on the Western Australian Midwives Notification System (1983–2007) and their offspring were in scope. The exposed cohort were mothers with an alcohol-related diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) recorded in an administrative data set and their offspring (non-Indigenous: n = 13 969; Indigenous: n = 9635). The exposed cohort was frequency matched with mothers with no record of an alcohol-related diagnosis and their offspring (comparison cohort; non-Indigenous: n = 40 302; Indigenous: n = 20 533).

RESULTS:

Over half of exposed non-Indigenous children (55%) and 84% of exposed Indigenous children experienced ≥1 negative outcome. The likelihood of any negative outcome was significantly higher for the exposed than the comparison cohort (non-Indigenous: odds ratio [OR] = 2.67 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.56–2.78]; Indigenous: OR = 2.67 [95% CI = 2.50–2.85]). The odds were greatest for children whose mothers received a diagnosis during pregnancy (non-Indigenous: OR = 4.65 [95% CI = 3.87–5.59]; Indigenous: OR = 5.18 [95% CI = 4.10–6.55]); however, numbers were small.

CONCLUSIONS:

The effects of maternal alcohol-use disorder are experienced by the majority of exposed children rather than a vulnerable subgroup of this population. These findings highlight the need for universal prevention strategies to reduce harmful alcohol use and targeted interventions to support at-risk women and children.

Nowe perspektywy dla spekulatywnego mistycyzmu. O koncepcji fenomenuprzesyconego Jeana-Luca Mariona
Authors: Krawczyk Michał
Published: February 2020

Artykuł referuje koncepcję francuskiego ﬁ lozofa i teologa J. L. Mariona, rozwĳ ająca tradycję fenomenologiczną. Na początku wytłumaczone jest, dlaczego mowa tu jest o mistycyzmie, nie o mistyce (po uprzednim wytłumaczeniu tej dystynkcji). Autor podaje krótki zarys momentu w historii ﬁ lozoﬁ i, w której zrodziła się ta koncepcja wyłożona w dziele Będąc danym. Istotne tu są także uwagi na temat dziejów pojęcia „naoczność” u I. Kanta i E. Husserla. Koncepcja ta nie wychodzi poza metodę fenomenologiczną. Zakłada możliwość pomyślenia takiego fenomenu, w którym naoczność przekracza ramy przewidującej ją intuicji i ujmującego ją pojęcia. Badanie formalne tegoż fenomenu polega na przedstawieniu czterech jego właściwo-ści, które po skompilowaniu dają fenomen objawienia, który umożliwia zastąpienie go pewnymi wartościami teologicznymi. Jako roboczy przykład, J. L. Marion tworzy tu pewną chrystologię.

ADSORPTION OF MALACHITE GREEN DYE ON CLAY AND MODIFIED CLAY
Authors: Rakić Violeta , Miljković Milena , Miljković Vojkan , Ranđelović Marjan
Published: February 2020

The goal of this study was to investigate the possibility of using natural materials based on clay and polysaccharides of carboxymethylcellulose as adsorbents for removing the textile dye malachite green from its solution. In this article, adsorption of dye on native clay and modified clay containing 3% carboxymethylcellulose was compared. The experimental results of dye adsorption with native and modified clay were interpreted using theoretical models of adsorption isotherms. The best match of the experimental results for native clay was achieved with the Langmuir model, and a slightly lower degree of correlation existed for the Freundlich's model. A good matching with the Langmuir's model indicates monolayer dye adsorption as well as certain energy homogeneity of the surface. After modification of the clay with carboxymethylcellulose, a better maching with the Freundlich's model was observed. This indicated that, as a consequence of the application of carboxymethylcellulose, the surface of the clay was changed in chemical and energy terms. The native clay had a lower adsorption capacity compared to clay modified with carboxymethylcellulose. The use of modified clay to remove the dye of malachite green was advisable in very concentrated solutions, because it showed obvious advantages compared to native clay.

Published: February 2020

In the presented work the choice of starch syrup for the jelly products production has been substantiated. It was based on the analysis of the starch syrup carbohydrate profiles and recipes of jelly products. The influence of syrup on the rheological and structural-mechanical properties of jelly and aerated masses for a two-layer jelly has been determined. The expediency of polydextrose usage has been demonstrated. Its adding leads to the regulation of the jelly structure and foam layer for the samples with more than 50% of sugar replaced by starch syrup. Depending on the ratio of carbohydrates in jelly it was determined the amount of polydextrose adding of which provides the required firming and prebiotic properties of finish products. The change of physical-chemical, structural-mechanical, and organoleptic quality indices of two-layer jelly with modified carbohydrate composition has been investigated during storage.

SEGMENTASI CITRA MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA FUZZY c-MEANS (FCM) DAN SPATIAL FUZZY c-MEANS (sFCM)
Authors: Safitri Qonita Ummi , Huda Arief Fatchul , Awaludin Asep Solih
Published: February 2020

Pengolahan citra merupakan salah satu aplikasi yang dimanfaatkan dalam kehidupan. Salah satu kajian pengolahan citra adalah segmentasi. Segmentasi citra dilakukan dengan banyak pendekatan, diantaranya pedekatan klastering. Algoritma klastering yang digunakan pada segmentasi citra, umumnya berbasis fuzzy c-means. Fuzzy c-mean (FCM) membagi citra menjadi beberapa wilayah tingkat keabuan berdasarkan derajat keanggotaan pada rentang [0,1]. FCM kurang memanfaatkan informasi spasial, yang merupakan atribut penting dalam proses segmentasi citra. Oleh karena itu, Chuang dkk (2006) menambahkan fungsi spasial dalam perhitungan derajat keanggotaan FCM, dengan parameter kontrol non-spasial p dan parameter kontrol spasial q. Metode ini dikenal dengan nama spatial fuzzy c-means (sFCM). Kinerja algoritma FCM dan sFCM diuji menggunakan data citra simulasi, citra batik dan citra otak. Hasil segmentasi terbaik ditentukan berdasarkan indeks validasi Vpe, Vpc, Vxb dan SC. Hasil segmentasi menunjukkan bahwa variasi parameter p dan q terbaik menurut indeks validasi Vpe dan Vpc adalah sFCM2,1 dan sFCM2,2, sedangkan Vxb dan SC menghasilkan nilai optimal untuk FCM. Namun, sFCM hanya memberikan sedikit perbaikan terhadap hasil segmentasi FCM pada citra yang mengandung gaussian noise. Artinya, sFCM tidak robust (tahan) pada citra noise.
Teletrabajo: el problema de la institucionalización.
Authors: Cifuentes-Leiton Diana Milec , Londoño-Cardozo José
Published: February 2020

Este artículo propone un marco teórico para comprender las prácticas llevadas a cabo por el Estado colombiano respecto de una “nueva” forma de organizar el trabajo denominada teletrabajo. La investigación que sustenta este escrito mostró que se reglamentó una forma de trabajo que tiene una naturaleza flexible y en dicho diseño de política no tuvo lugar el trabajador que vive la cotidianidad del teletrabajo. Ello representa un proceso de institucionalización vía política pública top-down que crea repertorios sociales de formas de trabajar ideales de la actualidad, con las cuales el trabajador encuentra la felicidad. Se cae en un proceso de sublimación de seudo-garantías laborales por una falla en el diseño de políticas por parte del Estado. Se propone un análisis político, a partir de un estudio de psicología organizacional y del trabajo, que vincule una visión de la institucionalización objetivada donde se reconozca la necesidad de la inclusión de las realidades de los diversos grupos sociales que integran la red de política.

Background. The most frequent chronic lung pathology among infants and especially in premature children with extremely low and very low body weight is bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

The aim of the study is to study the prevalence of bronchopulmonary pathology among premature children and justify the need to vaccinate against pneumococcal disease premature children suffering from BPD.

Methods. The official statistics (Form №32) and data from annual reports of the catamnesis department of “the Honourary order” Perm Regional Clinical Hospital were used in order to measure the number of premature children born alive in Perm region in 2015-2017 yy. The estimation of prophylactic efficacy and reactogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at immunization of premature children with BPD.

Results. The study group included vaccinated premature children with BPD (n=29), the experimental group included non-vaccinated premature children with BPD (n=29) and 30 vaccinated term children. Administration of PCV13 in premature children suffering from BPD has revealed its high prophylactic efficacy (no cases of community-acquired pneumonia among vaccinated children during the prospective study for 3 years), high tolerability (no cases of broncho-obstructive syndrome or negative effects on respiratory system such as apnoea or desaturation among vaccinated children). Low reactogenicity (17.2 ± 0.57%) and similar vaccine tolerance with term children (16.5 ± 0.55%) has been revealed as well. The combination of PCV13 with other vaccines from immunisation schedule did not increase the number of vaccine-induced diseases in comparison with administration of PCV13 alone.

Conclusion. The scientific necessity of vaccination of premature children with BPD against pneumococcal disease has been proved. The high prophylactic efficacy and low reactogenicity of PCV13 in this children group at tertiary neonatological care (catamnesis department of perinatal center) has been established within the national immunisation schedule.

Published: February 2020

Creating models that provide incentives for utilities is a challenging regulatory task. The purpose of this study is to conduct the analysis of different regulation methods that regulators implement to ensure the development of the energy market. The study considers the following main regulation methods: social regulation, rate-of-return regulation, retail price index minus X (RPI − X) regulation, sliding scale regulation and yardstick regulation. Special attention is paid to the selection of an appropriate benchmark method for conducting efficiency analysis with the aim of setting the productivity factor X, which is crucial for the viability of any applicable form of the RPI − X incentive regulation. Under the RPI − X regulatory regime for the defined period of 8 years, the results define the curves related to price cap, productivity gain, cumulative inflation and the adjustments relating to unforeseen events beyond the control of utilities. Incentive regulation contributes to the energy supply at the most competitive price.

Published: February 2020

Introducción: el componente cultural es esencial en el aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera. Es necesario promover la implementación de prácticas enel aula de clase que permitan al estudiante, no solo desarrollar su habilidad para comunicarse, sino además familiarizarse con los elementos culturales propios de la lengua que se aprende. Una forma de hacerlo es a través de proyectos y estrategias significativas orientados a ese fin. Metodología: con el propósito de contribuir al desarrollo de la competencia sociocultural de los estudiantes de la básica primaria de una institución oficial del estado de Carolina del Sur en la clase de español, se realizó un proyecto relacionado con la cultura hispana. A través del proyecto se logró no solo acercar a los estudiantes a la cultura de los países de habla hispana, sino involucrar a los miembros de la comunidad educativa en el desarrollo de las actividades. Durante su desarrollo se elaboraron diarios de campo y se aplicaron encuestas a los estudiantes para el análisis e interpretación de los datos a partir de las categorías que se establecieron. Conclusión: las prácticas culturales promovidas en el aula fortalecen el aprendizaje de la lengua, pues provee el contexto apropiado, sirven como elemento motivador y brindan las herramientas culturales que se requieren para la interacción y comunicación efectiva con los individuos de otras culturas.
Transfert dans l’acquisition des expressions idiomatiques en français langue étrangère
Authors: Cáceres-Guerrero Luz Dary
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Cette recherche examine dans quelle mesure les apprenants non-natifs utilisent la connaissance de leur L1 afin de comprendre et de produire les expressions idiomatiques de la L2. Méthodologie: Vingt-six Colombiens apprenants de français (niveau B2) et vingt-six hispanophones vivant à Toulouse (niveau C1) ont participé à cette étude. Trente expressions idiomatiques du français ont été testées, classées en trois catégories : a) identiques en forme et en sens à une expression équivalente en espagnol, b) similaires à une expression équivalente en espagnol, c) différentes à une expression équivalente en espagnol. Quatre tests ont été administrés: deux tests de production, un test d’acceptabilité et un test de compréhension. Résultats: Pour vérifier l’hypothèse du transfert linguistique selon laquelle les expressions identiques sont faciles à comprendre et à produire, alors que les expressions différentes présentent plus de difficultés dans les deux compétences (compréhension et production), la catégorie des expressions similaires viendrait ainsi nuancer l’hypothèse du transfert et ce, notamment en termes d’opacité sémantique, de fréquence, de structure et de lexique. Conclusions: Les propositions didactiques en cours de Français langue étrangère (fle) devraient partir de ce qui est connu par les apprenants pour, au fur et à mesure de leurs processus d’acquisition de la L2, aborder les particularités ou les différences entre la L1 et la L2.

4th and 5th grade students’ structuring of 2D rectangular arrays
Authors: Ribeiro Sara Cristina , Palhares Pedro
Published: February 2020

In this article we examine 4th and 5th grade Portuguese students’ performance on problems of structuring 2D rectangular arrays of squares, which was analyzed and categorized into the five levels of sophistication described by Battista, Clements, Arnoff, Battista, and Borrow (1998). In general, the results suggest that students in the higher grade exhibit higher levels of sophistication. Nevertheless, several students from both grades could not perceive the structure in rows and columns of such rectangular arrays; their spatial structuring of such arrays was still inadequate. The result for their learning may be even worse if we think that for students in these grades, many textbooks display rectangular arrays as the representation to teach area measurement.
PHYSICALITY AS A PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON
Authors: Ilyasova Katherine
Published: February 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of corporeality as a psychological phenomenon. The problem of the human body and physicality is affected in many areas of psychology. The psychology of corporeality is not a scientific research. We study the genesis of the concept of "body" in works of domestic and foreign researchers. Particular attention needs to be paid to the analysis of factors influencing the perception of one's own physicality. Corporeality is understood as a sociocultural phenomenon — the body of a person, having social and cultural features, is transformed under the influence of social and cultural factors. The connection between corporeality and human self-evaluation is proved. The article analyzes the psychology of corporeality in the historical aspect and from the standpoint of various scientific approaches. It is noted that in modern psychological studies there is a tendency to differentiate the consideration of various aspects of physicality. A theoretical analysis of modern psychological researches in the field of physicality is conducted. In the age of globalization without borders, and under the conditions of socio- cultural space virtualization, body becomes an apotheosis of eclecticism, merging together all that had seemed incompatible. On the basis of empirical research, the level of satisfaction with the own body of clients of cosmetologists and medical institutions is investigated. Article presents the results of methodological and empirical analysis of the satisfaction with body. Results show that body image is a category engendered and determined mostly by psychological factors. Body image may have a significant influence on the human well-being.

Article describes the results of the study of the cosmetology institutions client satisfaction of their own body. Prospects for further research are identified.

Theories of adaptability of adolescents and adolescents and the concept of their adaptation to new minds of life and activity are generalized. The results of the empirical study of the individual-psychological qualities of the freshmen, the features of their social interaction and academic motivation are described. The experience of the psychological support of the process of adaptation of students who are internally displaced to study at a university is analyzed. Their true personal and character peculiarities, ways of adapting to the situation and responding to adverse influences from the external environment are determined. The perspective circle of researches in the field of psychological support and support of internally displaced students is outlined. Adaptation to learning has been found to be a complex process of learning the norms and rules of an educational institution, forging friendships with one-groupers, and for constructive relationships with teachers; development of strategies of educational activity and initial activity. The article determines that the adaptation of internally displaced first-year students to study should come as an active tertiary adaptation of students to the higher education institutions, in the process of developing students' skills and ability to organize their understanding, and life, the system of working with professional self-education and self-education of professionally significant qualities of personality. It has been found that the process of adaptation to university education is a complex system of transformations that occur with a person in accordance with changes in the minds of existence. The beginning of a student's life is connected with numerous social changes; replacement of existing attitudes and stereotypes; stressful situations. For some students, this can lead to the substitution of a real sense of adulthood by activities such as freedom to attend classes, unsystematic homework, and so on. All of this can, over time, be transformed into a reluctance to study, attend a school, and participate in one's social life.
