Protección a personas víctimas de violencia familiar en época de pandemia
Authors: Orta García María Elena
Published: November 2021

On March 20, 2020, the Mexican health authorities decreed mandatory confinement, as one of the measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The strategy slowed down the contagion a bit, but it exposed the reality of family violence that has been present in our country for many years, alarmingly aggravated by economic pressure; the permanence of family members in confined spaces, for a long time; and the improvisation of areas for minors and adolescents to join remote education. Such circumstances caused chaos among family members, and the consequent repeated violation of the human rights of women, minors and the elderly.
The situation generated by the pandemic has led to a review of the national, and international legal obligations contracted by the Mexican authorities, to guarantee the full exercise of the human rights of those who make up the families and avoid fatal consequences for their personal integrity.
Various national and international institutions and organizations have documented the increase in family violence during the pandemic, and their results show the need to create public policies aimed at stopping this dizzying race, which threatens the dignity of people, and makes it urgent to grant protection adequate to the victims of this violence, which will only be achieved with a change in the cultural and educational paradigms of those who make up the different societies.

Published: November 2021

Abstract: Wise city management, good road management is one of the most important things. Traffic congestion can be effectively controlled, provided that the number of vehicles passing through a traffic junction can be determined in advance. The proposed approach introduces a framework, which has the potential to continuously transmit traffic and generate alarms in the event of a major traffic congestion at the Sangli control station or in similar Indian cities. The number of vehicles passing through the area well before the required road junction can be estimated using the help of image processing techniques. In addition, monitoring information can be shared with a remote control centre near the city via the Internet. The tests performed show the effectiveness of this Internet-based technology (IoT) technology. Keywords: Traffic Volume Estimation, Genetic Algorithm, Wireless sensor network, Vehicle detection, Intelligent Traffic Signal Controller.

Introduction. The co-authors address current trends in the architectural design of inclusive schools. Their mission is to maximize the social involvement and integration of disabled children into groups of kids. The purpose of this research is to identify guidelines for designing inclusive schools and to make recommendations for the design of inclusive schools that conduct adaptation events. Materials and methods. The co-authors have used methods of comparative analysis and synthesis of foreign and Russian research, literary and design materials; findings of sociological surveys; a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses medicine, social science, and legal norms, that influence the guidelines for designing inclusive schools. Results. The research is focused on developing guidelines for designing inclusive schools and recommendations on the design of inclusive schools whose administration conducts adaptation events for children with minor disabilities and a normal level of intelligence, the vision acuity of, at least, 0.4 diopters, the hearing impairment of 26 to 40 dB, minor muscle-skeleton disorders, including wheelchair users, capable of getting around on their own. These results may be taken advantage of by architects, designing inclusive schools; they can also be taught at universities of architecture. Conclusions. The co-authors make recommendations for the design of inclusive schools designated for particular categories of disabled persons. The analysis of problems in the context of architectural and space-planning design of inclusive school buildings will allow to improve their structure and study their typology with a view to further development. The deve­lopment of inclusive education, which is also regarded from the standpoint of architectural and space-planning design, draws human attention to the problem of responsibility for disabled children that must be be assumed by the society and the state.
The use of natural gas reduction schemes on the basis of the pressure regulator and monitor
Authors:   Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov (SSTU), Medvedeva Oksana N. , Chilikin Aleksander Yu.
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is explained by the growing use of natural gas both in terms of domestic consumption (due to the expansion of gas supply areas) and in terms of industrial consumption (introduction of more complex technological processes), which significantly tightens the requirements for failure-free and reliable gas supply systems. The issues of reliability and sustainability of operation of gas distribution systems directly affect the efficiency of natural gas transportation to end consumers. Key factors should also include the assurance and maintenance of operational parameters of gas distribution networks and gas-using equipment in the optimal technological condition. The purpose of the study is to assess the economic efficiency of proposed gas pressure reduction systems with account taken of the value of capital expenditures into their installation, purchase of equipment and devices, involved in the arrangement of gas pressure reduction lines. Materials and methods. The co-authors have used the system analysis and synthesis of complex structured gas pressure reduction complexes, methods of computational mathematics, synthesis of new engineering solutions. Results. Gas pressure reduction systems have advantages over standard patterns currently used by most gas distribution stations and pressure reduction units. However, systems, featuring one pressure reduction line, have a narrow range of application. Higher reliability and failure-free operation are demonstrated by the systems having a redundant pressure reduction line, consisting of the same set of equipment and designed for 100 % capacity of the principal reduction line. In addition, the installation of these reduction systems takes less time, if compared with a standard system, which is not unimportant in the context of mass production. Conclusions. The analysis of the established gas reduction systems used at gas distribution stations and pressure reduction units allows to choose the equipment operating in the range of medium and high pressure with one-step gas pressure reduction in order to develop an optimal reduction system. Given the results of the feasibility study of each system, the conclusion is made in terms of the expediency of their application from the standpoint of technological efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Published: November 2021

Introduction. The study presents an assessment of the economic feasibility of different pipe materials used to transport treated wastewater. The choice was made between pipes made of ductile iron, glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP), concrete, and plastic. Hydraulic calculations of operation of an irrigation water supply and distribution system were made using WaterCAD V8i software. Two options of the system operation, that entail different flow rates and diameters, are considered: if the flow rate is equal to 1.16 m3/s and pipe diameters vary from 800 mm to 1,200 mm, and if the flow rate is equal to 4.63 m3/s, and pipe diameters vary from 1,600 to 2,000 mm. Materials and methods. The article analyzes the legal and regulatory documentation on design and construction, urban planning solutions for residential areas, architectural and structural solutions for apartment buildings, statistical and analytical reports on housing construction in Russia, presented on the Internet. Results. Irrigation water represents treated wastewater fed by the wastewater treatment facilities in the city of Karbala, Iraq. Two hydraulic models were designed with account for the above-mentioned costs. Head losses were estimated for each model with regard for all studied materials and pipe diameters using the WaterCAD V8i software and a mathematical model for the purpose of selecting the optimal pipe diameter. Conclusions. A mathematical model was developed to calculate the cost of transporting wastewater in pipes having different diameters and made of four different materials. The ratio of costs to the diameter of pipes, made of four different materials, was identified by developing an empirical equation. The co-authors used the Darcy – Weisbach technique and the Hazen – Williams method to calculate the operating costs with regard for variable diameters, flow rates for the two models, head losses due to friction, annual operation time, annual cost of electric energy, and the energy efficiency of the unit. Thus, a mathematical model was obtained, that can be applied to select the most optimal pipe diameter.

Published: November 2021

Objectives. To assess the possibility of preventing the disturbances of coronary vascular tone and myocardial contractile function caused by diabetes mellitus with the help of 2-ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrobromide. Material and methods. Coronary vascular tone and myocardial contractile function were studied on preparations of rat hearts isolated by the Langendorff method. The iNOS blockade was carried out with S-methylisothiourea (S-MT, 10-6M). Diabetes mellitus in rats was modelled by means of a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (50 mg / kg). 2-ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrobromide (2-ETG) was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 3 mg / kg. The concentration of stable degradation products of NO (NO2-/NO3-), superoxide dismutase, catalase, diene conjugates and malondialdehyde in the left ventricular homogenate was determined by spectrophotometric method. The content of inducible and endothelial NO-synthases (eNOS), interleukin 1β, C-reactive protein in the blood serum of experimental animals was determined by enzyme immunoassay. Results. In the hearts of «2-ETG + Diabetes mellitus» animal group no changes in the coronary perfusion pressure and developed intraventricular pressure were observed before and after the use of the highly selective iNOS blocker S-methylisothiourea. In the blood serum of these animals group, an increase in the concentration of eNOS was observed, against the background of a decrease in the accumulation of iNOS, a decrease in the concentration of lipid peroxidation products was determined against the background of an increase in the activity of the antioxidant system and a decrease of systemic inflammation. Conclusions. Intraperitoneal injection of 2-ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrobromide prevents a decrease in coronary vascular tone and myocardial contractile function caused by hyperproduction of nitrogen monoxide of inducible NO-synthase in diabetes mellitus. This effect of 2-ethylthiobenzimidazole hydrobromide is associated with: limiting the formation of oxidative stress; limiting the nitrosative stress; the decrease in the concentration of inflammatory markers.

Currently, the most common method in clinical practice, that enables the determination of the functional state of platelets, is the method of platelet aggregation. Objectives. To study the aggregation of platelets in donors of platelet mass and fresh frozen plasma. Material and methods. The study included 31 donors of fresh frozen plasma and platelet mass. The study of platelet aggregation was carried out by the turbidimetric measurement technique on the AP2110 analyzer (ZAO «SOLAR», Minsk, Republic of Belarus) with an inductor: ADP (concentrations of 0.3 μg/ml, 0.6 μg/ml, 1.25 μg/ml and 2.5 μg/ml were used), epinephrine (concentrations of 2.5 μM and 5.0 μM were used), collagen (concentration of 2 mg/ml). Results. 33 analysis of platelet aggregation were performed in donors prior to collection of platelet mass and fresh frozen plasma. Only in 10 cases (30.3%) donors had normal platelet aggregation, hypoaggregation was detected in 15 cases (45.5%) and hyperaggregation - in 8 studies (24.2%). Impaired platelet aggregation was detected in all donors who had COVID-19 infection in their anamnesis (in 5 - hypoaggregation, in 4 - hyperaggregation). In donors who didn’t have this infection in their anamnesis, the incidence of platelet aggregation disorders was statistically significantly lower - 63.6% (in 10 - hypoaggregation, in 4 - hyperaggregation), p=0.04. The presence of COVID-19 infection in the donor’s anamnesis is an independent predictor of impaired platelet aggregation (Chi-square=7.24, p=0.007). Conclusions. The study of platelet aggregation must be mandatory before collecting platelet mass in all donors.

The results of the study dealing with the level of neurotization in patients with cholelithiasis in dynamics on the 1st-2nd days after surgery, in 6 months and in 5 years after surgery are presented. The aim of the work was to study the impact of intracrisis psychotherapeutic intervention on the recovery of patients with cholelithiasis in the near and long term. Already on the 1st-2nd days after the operation, a decrease in situational anxiety was detected in patients who had undergone psychotherapy, and after 6 months all indicators of anxiety-depression disorders did not differ from those of healthy people, while in patients without psychotherapy, the indicators of situational, personal anxiety and depression remained significantly higher than those in the control group of healthy people. In 5 years after discharge, the primary incidence of non-psychotic mental disorders in patients with cholelithiasis was 20.3%, and in patients who underwent intracrisis intervention - 2.7%. Thus, the implementation of intracrisis psychotherapeutic intervention improves the long-term results of treatment of patients with cholelithiasis.

The development of scientific hypotheses and approaches to improve the strategy of maintenance and repair of agricultural machinery is becoming one of the most relevant areas in the agro-industrial complex, since it is of paramount importance in the technical support of the machine and tractor fleet throughout the entire life cycle of machines. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in studying the methods of searching for defects of internal combustion engine on the example of the connecting rod of the tractor engine K-744. (Materials and methods) The study of methods and means of controlling parts of automotive internal combustion engines during defects and repairs are conducted. Authors developed an automated interactive system with software for monitoring these parameters on the example of the connecting rod of the K-744 tractor engine. The article proposes a new maintenance strategy based on the use of multiple tolerances, each tolerance corresponding to a certain wear rate of the part. As a result of this strategy, the failure rate is significantly reduced and the average service life increases. (Results and discussion) The article presents the experimental data on the wear of the surface of the lower connecting rod head by the angle of rotation of the internal meter. Measurements were carried out on a special installation consisting of a controlled connecting rod of the YaMZ, an internal measuring device of the NI brand-75-100-1, two metal washers with a diameter of 93 and a thickness of 7 millimeters and a micrometer of 0-100 mm, designed for calibration of the internal measuring device. (Conclusions) The experimental dependences of the surface wear of the lower connecting rod head on the angle of rotation of the internal meter for different connecting rods in three sections in height at an equal distance between themselves are 13, 20 and 27 millimeters in height of the lower connecting rod head.

Published: October 2021

Hot gas generators are used as a source of thermal energy for pre-start preparation of motor vehicles in cold climatic conditions. Their wide application is due to the high thermal power and safety. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in determining the possibilities of using thermoelectric modules to reduce the energy consumption of the battery by hot gas generators. (Materials and methods) Authors used research methods based on the application of standard techniques, while the object of research was the power supply system of a thermal energy source. (Results and discussion) Authors conducted research on ways and methods to reduce the electric consumption of a hot gas generator by recuperating thermal energy into electrical energy using thermoelectric generator modules. The thermoelectric converters installed on the heat pipe of the hot gas generator, due to the high temperature difference, will allow to obtain a high value of the electromotive force. Modeling of the nozzle in the software package of the Ansys three-dimensional modeling system showed that part of the heat energy goes through the surface of the heat pipe. The article proposes the use of a nozzle with a thermoelectric converter installed on the outer surface of the cylinder instead of a heat pipe. The article presents the mathematical model of an improved hot gas generator nozzle. (Conclusions) The use of a thermoelectric converter for the utilization of thermal energy and the replacement of energy losses of the battery, which feeds the hot gas generator, will reduce the internal power losses of the battery and increase the technical readiness of automotive equipment. The introduction of a comprehensive heat treatment system, which is intelligently and functionally linked to a remote monitoring system, will significantly increase the service life of the units most exposed to temperature influences.

Published: November 2021

This study aimed to analyse the impact of reading personalised books on the linguistic expression of two-to four-year-old children when speaking spontaneously about themselves during the sensitive period of self-identification. A natural experiment was carried out using self-made books, which consisted of personalised and non-personalised parts. The personal parts of the books, which reflected each child’s home environment and what they liked, were specially designed for each child. Thirty-six children aged between two and four years who attended an early childhood education institution participated in the study. The study sessions were recorded. The data analysis was conducted by applying a case study method, and the collected data were analysed qualitatively by assessing the content of the children’s speech, emotions and gestures. Five typical cases were identified and described. They substantiated that the personalised parts of the books consisting of pictures from each child’s environment encouraged them to use more words when speaking about themselves, to use more varied and complex means of linguistic expression when talking about familiar things, to choose appropriate linguistic means when referring to the self in the first person and/or to speak about themselves from the perspective of the other. The influence of the personalised parts of the books was not observed until the children started identifying themselves as separate subjects.

The University is a meeting place for the transmission of knowledge, but the fact of being able to transmit values that complement student’s training is beyond the exchange of information. Through the call for educational innovation projects, we have the possibility of carrying out actions aimed at solving specific problems by applying innovative methodologies. In 2019, at the High Technical School of Engineering and Industrial Design (ETSIDI) from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), a project was awarded in collaboration with the High Technical School of Architecture (ETSAM-UPM), the IADE School of Design, the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), the Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR), as well as the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM). The project, called Network Design, is framed in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) environment, applying active approach methods to the problem of the indiscriminate use of plastics. We must promote in the students’ skills they will need later in their professional life. Considering that students of different degrees are used to working with problem learning methodology, we think that an approach should be given that goes beyond obtaining a tangible product. The proposal presented is based on the reuse of food container nets as an essential material to create an object, being a design product, a drawing, or a painting. The “Network” union with other universities encourages the work to be truly multidisciplinary and interuniversity, and that each participant collaborates to spread the project more widely by combining the different ways of tackling the same problem. It will seek to create harmony between the point of view of the materials’ specialist, the landscape painter, the set designer, the fashion designer, the industrial and product designer, and the interior designer. We look for different creation approaches with a common purpose that revalues each plastic. The motto is making beauty from the uselessness and one of the most important objective is encouraging awareness about the indiscriminate use of plastics through a design or an artistic approach.

Authors:   University of Latvia, Baranova Sanita , Kaļķe Baiba
Published: November 2021

The paradigm shift in higher education pedagogy and policy has been a subject of discussion for 30 years, during which time the emphasis has been placed on the transition to student-centred education. The implementation of this approach requires the democratisation of the study process and a shift towards performance-based outcomes, thus promoting students’ research capacities, well-being, personal growth, and quality of life. The most important document on the subject, which was developed in collaboration with the leading organisations of the Bologna Process, is the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. This describes the common understanding of student-centred learning, teaching, and assessment. The standards and guidelines are also incorporated into the Latvian higher education quality assurance regulations. The authors of the present study are involved in the development and approbation of a new master’s study program, in which special attention is paid to the implementation of the principles of student-centred education. The central aim of the present study was to study the experience of lecturers in the implementation of the principles of student-centred education in the programme. The relevant literature and documents were surveyed and data from questionnaires (distributed to programme participants) were analysed. Using the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area and the Science, Technology Development and Innovation Guidelines 2021−2027 approved by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science, the present study sets out 10 basic principles of student-centred education. A survey was created for lecturers who are implementing the newly created master’s programme over one semester. Seventeen lecturers participated. The analysis of the questionnaire results indicated that promoting mutual respect in student−academic staff relations and students’ active engagement in the study process were considered to be the most important principles. The results also revealed that lecturers applied every student−centred principle, but it is necessary to promote a common understanding by developing a mechanism for evaluating them and to improve the competence of teachers in implementing them.

Published: November 2021

Students are the main stakeholders in the higher education area so their involvement is closely related to the quality of higher education. There are a lot of factors that affect the understanding of the quality of higher education. Factors are used for quality planning, assessment, assurance, control, improvement etc. The research question is: what factors affect students’ understanding of the quality of higher education? The research was conducted in two stages. During the first stage of the research, the concept of the quality of higher education was analysed by using literature review and focus group discussion. During the second stage, a questionnaire was developed and students of the Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management of Riga Technical University (RTU FEEM) were surveyed, the results of students’ survey were analysed by using Spearman rank correlation. The research shows that there are three groups of factors that affect students’ understanding of the quality of higher education: factors related to the study process (SP), support and resources (SR), and external factors and results (EFR). As a result of correlation analysis, SP factors have more internal correlations within the group, while SR and EFR factors more correlate with each other. The most significant factors that affect students’ understanding of the quality of higher education are the quality of educational content and professors’ competence. Some trends were observed: (1) factors with a small number of correlations have more internal correlations than intergroup correlations; (2) the more important is the factor, the greater is the number of relationships, and vice versa; (3) the more important is the factor, the closer are relationships, and vice versa. There is one exception recognised in the research: although the factor ‘Quality of educational content’, according to the students, is the most important factor, the correlation analysis shows that it has no statistically significant correlations with other factors.

Authors:   Jazeps Vitols Academy of Music, Vilde Ilze
Published: November 2021

Expertise-based (competence) approach is one of the approaches in pedagogy which in the 21st century can be applied to develop important value-based knowledge, skills and habits. Transversal skills help learners to use knowledge in a real-life context, be ready to take on responsibility for their own learning, constituting a complex achievement, and strengthening the link between knowledge and personal experience. These skills can be acquired by purposefully integrating them with the core skills in all subjects, music including. Transversal skills include such components as: cooperation, creative and entrepreneurial ability, civic participation, critical thinking and problem solving, digital literacy, and self-guided learning skills. It is essential to bring the above-mentioned skills into focus in music pedagogy – to substantiate them theoretically and give a practical guidance how they can be seen in a pedagogical reality and develop them within the frame of music teaching in primary school. Research aim: to describe and substantiate how to enhance the development of transversal skills by applying competence approach during a music pedagogy process at primary school. Materials and methods: this paper will provide the analysis of theoretical literature and education documents on the competence approach, examine possibilities of developing transversal skills in music at Music Primary School. Theoretical findings will be brought into foreground in connection with the pedagogical experience obtained while teaching at Jazeps Vitols Latvian Academy of Music and giving music lessons in general education institutions.

Authors:   University of Latvia, Strazdina Eva
Published: November 2021

The evolution of digital technologies and the use of visual media in our everyday life highlights the necessity to educate visually literate individuals. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2018) has launched the Future of Education and Skills 2030 that emphasizes that due to the digitalization into all areas of life, digital and data literacy are considered to be core foundations and being literate in this context requires the ability to comprehend, interpret, use and create textual and visual information in various formats, contexts and for diverse purposes (making meaning based on encoding and decoding signs/sign systems). The concept of visual literacy has been studied for several decades, however, it is a relatively new study area within a digital environment in Latvian media and education context. By bringing attention to the practice and reporting students comprehension and competency within the domain of digital visual literacy, the author reports the findings of a study that examined the competence of the sub-domain of visual literacy, applying Inquiry Graphic (IG) as a framework for the analysis. The purpose of this paper is to contribute quantitative and qualitative data to the domain of visual literacy amongst the Riga Art and Media school final year students and conceptualize visual literacy in the process of digital education transformation, proposing further research on academic practice and pedagogical tools to improve a person’s visual literacy and visual media competence in a digital environment.

Based on the research results of Russian, Soviet and foreign archaeologists, anthropologists, geneticists and art historians, an attempt has been made to trace the process of formation of the artistic culture and decorative and applied art of descendants, who by the 10th –11th centuries took part in shaping of the Crimean mountain people, the Tats of the Crimea, the ancestors of the ethnographic groups of the modern Crimean Tatar people – the southern coastal and mountain Crimean Tatars, as well as of the Greco-Tatars – the Urums of the Azov region. And also to try to characterize the culture and decorative arts of the aboriginal and immigrant ethnic groups of the Crimean peninsula, who later took part in the process of ancient cultural genesis of the population of the mountainous and southern coastal Crimea. It also shows the initial stage of the process of cultural genesis of the steppe and foothill Crimean Tatars, which was going on parallel to the process of cultural genesis and formation of the artistic culture of the Tats of the mountainous and southern coastal Crimean Tatars.

The column presents one of the principal narrative sources reflecting the history of the Golden Horde and the Crimean Khanate – the work “Tevarikh-i Desht-i Kiptchak” (“The Chronicle of the Desht-i Kiptchak”, 1638) from under the pen of Abdullah ibn Rizvan. Notwithstanding the presence of works in the scientific literature on this chronicle, they still have a superficial character. The artistic and literary merits of the work have not been fully analyzed. The chronicle is a vivid example of the evolution of the Crimean Ottoman traditions of verbal creativity and chronology, which later gave impetus to the emergence of other universal histories. The text of “Tevarikh-i Desht-i Kiptchak” is given in the original transliteration from two manuscripts (National Library of France S 874 and The Library of Topkapı Palace Museum B 289) and in Russian translation (author of transliteration and translation – R. R. Abduzhemilev). The translation is made up of the combined text from two manuscript copies in the book Ananiasz Zajaczkowski “La Chronique des Steppes Kıptchak Tevarih-i Deşt-ı Qıpçaq du XVIIe siecle” (Warszawa 1966).

On the climax of the battleunder Berestechko (June 30, 1651) the Crimean Tatars fled, leaving their allies, the Ukrainian Cossacks, in the battlefield. According to the almost unanimous opinion, the cause of the defeat of the allied forces was the successful actions of the Polish army under the leadership of the king John II Casimir, who dealt the main blow to the Crimean cavalry. Under the enemy`s cannonballs, the Crimeans suffered heavy losses and fled, and khan Islam III Giray himself was nearly killed. But there is no evidence that the Tatars deliberately abandoned the Cossacks.
