Authors:   Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador sede Ambato EC180101, Ecuador, Guerra Marcelo , Solis Ana
Published: August 2022

Teaching English as a foreign language has become difficult when adequate communication between teachers and students is not achieved. It is important for teachers to have a firm understanding of how their students learn in order to determine what teaching methods or strategies to use in their classrooms. Should be a process of building knowledge and language skills so that learners develop their language competencies and learning abilities through different learning styles. Therefore, the main objective of the study is focused on analyzing the learning styles to improve the speaking skills of the students of second semester of the bachelor’s degree in Tourism at the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo-Sede Orellana. The methodology that was used includes a bibliographic review, semi- structured interviews as well as a method called expert judgment. The results indicated that the students at the university had no knowledge of learning styles, leading to the development of a lesson plan to improve students’ oral fluency. Technological advances are very important in the educational field, allowing the development of each student's learning style.

The aim of this work was to evaluate heavy metals (Lead and Cadmium) contamination in the muscles ofa local sea fish species, the black-headed Sar Diploddus vulgaris. We selected two sites in the Gulf of Annabafor this study (Sidi Salem fishing site and the Port of Annaba) and compared results to a reference site (Capde Garde), which is at a valuable distance from any source of pollution, and is considered as a relativelyclean site, while Sidi Salem and Port of Annaba are known to be exposed sites to various sources of industrial,urban and harbor pollution. Analyses have been carried out on 70 samples of dorsal-lateral muscles offishes weighting from 30 g to 280 g and sizing between 11.1 cm to 26.5 cm. The results showed the presenceof both metals in all samples during the 6 months of our study (from November to June) and in the 3 siteswith variable rates. Cadmium levels varied from 0.032 to 0.239 mg/kg/fw. Fish meat from Sidi Salem collectedduring the months of November and February displayed a rate of 0.038-0.074 mg/kg/fw of Cd beforereaching a higher value in March estimated to 0.202 mg/kg/fw of Cd. From April to June, the lateral dorsalmuscles were contaminated by lower Cd contents. Pb concentrations varied from 0.014 to 0.149 mg/kg/fw.The highest value was recorded during the month of March at Sidi Salem. Moreover, Pb concentrations inmuscle tissues increased significantly compared to the other studied sites. Very high significance differenceswere found between Cap de Garde and Port of Annaba and Sidi Salem for both metals (Pb and Cd). Toconclude, the presence of heavy metals in Diplodus vulgaris is due to the diet and the impact of anthropogenicactivities on the biotope of the fish and therefore poses a public health problem linked to frequentconsumption of this fish. Also, D. vulgaris appears to be a suitable sentinel species for the assessment ofecotoxicological risk in the Gulf of Annaba.

Published: August 2022

Background: Background: Optic nerve inflammation may contribute to the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) (retrograde trans-synaptic degeneration) However, within the past ten years, some investigations have indicated that primary retinopathy may be brought on by MS. This study used a full-field electroretinogram to test the function of the outer retinal layers in people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) (ff-ERG). Methods: This is a case- control study, conducted on 30 RRMS patients and 30 healthy controls. RRMS patients were subjected to neurological, ophthalmological, and radiological assessment. Both RRMS patients and controls were subjected to full field ERG. Results: The ff-ERG showed a significant delay of latencies of a and b-waves of both light and dark-adapted condition with reduction of their amplitudes compared to control. ERG responses were significantly affected in MS patients with or without optic neuritis compared to control. Most of ff-ERG parameters showed non statistically significant difference between optic neuritis and non-optic neuritis eyes. Conclusion: There is functional affection of the bipolar and the photoreceptors layers in the outer retina in optic neuritis and non-optic neuritis eyes of MS. Therefore, the outer retina could be a site for primary pathology in MS, unrelated to the optic nerve affection.

As afinidades eletivas entre Walter Benjamin e Franz Kafka: investigações sobre o messianismo judaico, a tradição doente e o declínio da experiência
Authors: Faria Flávio Borges
Published: August 2022

Este trabalho recuperou a recepção de Walter Benjamin em relação à obra de Franz Kafka. Observamos o pequeno conjunto de textos deixados por Benjamin sobre Kafka, principalmente o ensaio Franz Kafka (2012a [1934]). Analisamos também as discussões travadas com o amigo e teólogo Gershom Scholem nas correspondências entre 1933 e 1940. Procuramos interpretar como Benjamin mergulhou na obra de Kafka no sentido de cunhar uma interpretação para o mundo moderno e o autoritarismo crescente à época. Esse tópico pode ser sintetizado pelas noções de tradição doente, rememoração e esquecimento. A doença da tradição está articulada ao contexto de assimilação judaica, cujo problema está nas novas formas de lidar com a tradição cindida, e a crítica à noção de progresso histórico. As narrativas kafkianas, para Benjamin, contrapõem o mundo pré-capitalista, berço da tradição, e o mundo moderno, característico pela hipertrofia da técnica. Portanto, procuramos observar o modo como Benjamin interpretou a tradição doente decantada nas obras kafkianas na medida em que articulou a crítica ao progresso histórico e à barbárie.
Políticas públicas de direito à alimentação no sistema prisional do Rio de Janeiro em tempos de Covid-19
Authors: Garau Marilha Gabriela Reverendo , Lira Joyce Abreu de , Kopke Vanessa
Published: August 2022

Fruto de uma abordagem qualitativa com base em pesquisa de campo, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar e evidenciar a lacuna existente entre o direito fundamental à alimentação e a consolidação das políticas públicas de direito à alimentação em unidades prisionais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro no cenário de pandemia da Covid-19. Partindo da problemática da suspensão das visitas no sistema prisional carioca, o trabalho irá apresentar a relação que envolve Estado, apenado e familiar em tempos de dita normalidade. As entrevistas realizadas com apenados, familiares e profissionais vinculados às instituições prisionais permitem refletir sobre o direito à alimentação no período antes e durante a Covid-19. A análise evidencia que a relação Estado versus família extrapola o princípio da individualização da pena, passando para o familiar parte do ônus da alimentação dos apenados. Apesar das mais diversas normativas voltadas para a regulação do direito à alimentação, as entrevistas revelam que o Estado é precário naquilo que se refere à implementação de políticas públicas de acesso à alimentação nas unidades prisionais, de modo que parcela de tal obrigação é compartilhada com os familiares dos apenados. Resta evidente a importância destes atores na subsistência dos presos, sobretudo no contexto de pandemia, já que houve reflexos no que se refere ao fornecimento de alimentos a partir da suspensão das visitas nas unidades penitenciárias.
O PCB e os caminhos da construção da Revolução Brasileira: a gênese teórica do partido (1922-1937)
Authors: De Oliveira Eder Renato
Published: August 2022

Objetiva-se centralmente nesse trabalho tornar público os resultados das investigações do desenvolvimento da pesquisa de mestrado sobre o PCB. O que se pretende é analisar como o partido surge e torna-se mais um elemento de modernidade no início da história republicana brasileira. Criado formalmente em 1922, o PCB tornar-se-ia uma marca indelével da esquerda brasileira. No entanto, o partido é fruto de uma múltipla associação de elementos humanos e ideológicos que se processava antes mesmo de 1922. Internamente, o PCB surge da confluência de uma rara conjuntura: imigração europeia, desenvolvimento das forças capitalistas, surgimento de uma classe operária e de movimentos de contestação como o anarcossindicalismo e as greves de 1917 e 1919. Externamente, a Revolução Russa (1917) é o estopim para a necessidade da criação de um partido organizado da classe operária. Após diversos impasses, surge a necessidade de formulação de uma teoria da revolução brasileira que tem, na figura de Astrojildo Pereira e Octávio Brandão seus principais formuladores: a revolução concentra sua contradição principal nas forças agraristas versus industrialistas, entre a oligarquia feudal e a pequena burguesia. Apesar das mudanças no núcleo dirigente, será essa a concepção de revolução brasileira que guiará os comunistas brasileiros do PCB até a formulação de uma nova teoria da revolução em março de 1958 com a Declaração de Março.

Authors: Lima Silveira Rogério Leandro , Civitaresi Héctor Martí­n , Colino Evelyn Del Valle , Faccin Carolina Rezende
Published: August 2022

En el artículo se aborda la urbanización y transformaciones territoriales en dos ciudades intermedias latinoamericanas: Santa Cruz do Sul, en la región central de Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, y San Carlos de Bariloche, en la región norte de la Patagonia, en Río Negro, Argentina. Para ello se comparan similitudes y particularidades en el proceso de urbanización, destacando las dinámicas y cambios económicos recientes, la centralidad regional y las transformaciones espaciales experimentadas por las dos ciudades. Metodológicamente, a partir de los conceptos de ciudades intermedias y producción social del espacio urbano, se analizan los datos secundarios sobre urbanización y economía urbana recopilados por el IBGE en Brasil y el INDEC en Argentina. Como resultado, se observa que el proceso de urbanización de ambas ciudades medianas se amplifica y complejiza como resultado de su relación con cadenas productivas globales como el turismo y el tabaco, pero también de cambios en sus economías urbanas y dinámicas espaciales a través de procesos de expansión urbana, fragmentación y segregación.

Authors: Mateus Ana , Almeida Diana , Martins Rita , Casquilho Ana
Published: August 2022

Uterine leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, with a very poor prognosis and higher prevalence in pre- and peri-menopause. It accounts for only 1-2% of uterine malignancies. We report the case of a 75-year-old postmenopausal woman, who presented a large abdominal mass, compatible with uterine leiomyoma. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy obtaining a surgical piece weighing 9820g. The diagnosis of Uterine leiomyosarcoma is made by histopathological examination after surgery.
This clinical case demonstrates that it is essential to bear in mind a possible diagnosis of malignancy to reduce the prevalence of occult Uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Back to Science of Consciousness: Science of Raja Yoga and the need for reversal of Psychological Paradigm
Authors: Dana Azeem
Published: August 2022

Psychology is originally called Science of Consciousness as the Greek word ‘Psychology’ means ‘Science of Soul’. Raja Yoga explores Consciousness and its role in real life applications which could develop interest in Consciousness amongst Psychologists and Psychiatrists. Consciousness plays an important role in intention, attention, thoughts, feelings, emotions, behavior and health. Raja Yoga teaches how to use Consciousness as a King to control his State, consisting of ministers, subjects who are known as mind, intellect and five senses. Raja Yoga explains that mind and intellect do not have separate existence but they are just different functions of Consciousness itself. Raja Yoga helps to manage the psychological, biological, social and spiritual factors of human beings effectively. If Counselors understand Consciousness and apply them in therapeutic techniques, there will be better results than what is obtained now. This article of an individual Case-study is written based on 21years of self-observation on Raja Yoga practice (Dana, 2020) and its application on Counseling interventions.
Spirituality as Protective Factor of Health Risk Behaviors among Adolescents
Authors: Gera Taruna
Published: August 2022

Health behaviours are the behaviours that are practised by people for the enhancement and maintenance of their health. These behaviours are common in all age groups, but adolescence, as the most vulnerable age, has a higher proclivity to engage in risky behavior. Among the protective factors, increasing research in the area documents that spirituality and spiritual practises serve as the protective agent for health-risk behaviors. The present study makes an attempt to explore spirituality as a protective factor against health-risk behaviours among adolescents. The study aims to see the relationship between the two facets of spirituality, namely, spiritual intelligence and spiritual personality, with respect to health risk behaviours among adolescents. The sample comprised of 600 adolescents from various colleges and universities in the state of Haryana, India. The Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI) by King (2008), the Spiritual Personality Inventory by Husain et al. (2012), and the Revised Health Risk Behavior Inventory by Irish (2012) were used. The descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment coefficient of correlation were applied to explore the relationship among the variables, and simple linear correlation was applied to look for the effect size of the variables. The study’s findings show a significant negative correlation between spirituality and health risk behavior, and spiritual intelligence and spiritual personality both appear to be significant protective factors against health risk behaviours in adolescents. The findings suggest the cultivation and nurturance of spiritual beliefs and spiritual practises in individuals right from the early age of life span for the prevention of health risk behaviours during adolescence.

Published: August 2022

Background: One of the most important objectives in the deformity correction surgery of spine is to achieve appropriate sagittal alignment, to improve patient outcome and reduce the risk of junctional failure. Intra-operative rod bending is crucial to achieve desired alignment. Objectives: Assessment of accuracy of rod bending by spine surgeons with or with-out template and/or correction. Methods: Spine surgeons were asked to bend two rods; one in-situ on three-dimensional (3D) printed moulage, designed based on schematic representation of a patient with Kyphoscoliosis, the other rod was asked to bend with correction angles. The differences were measured and correlated with experience and specialty. Results: 21 fellowship trained spine surgeons participated in this study, for in-situ rod, mean thoracic and lumbar bend were 65.2 (P = 0.033) and 49.3 (P = 0.077) degrees, respectively and for the correction rod, mean bend in thoracic and lumbar were 53.8 (P = 0.001) and 51.8 (P = 0.004) degrees, respectively, with significant difference from cut-off point. Each curve was over-bend and it was more pronounce in thoracic, both on in-situ and correction rods, 61.9 and 71.1 %, respectively. Level of experience showed positive correlation with degree of rod bending more than five years in thoracic in-situ bend (P = 0.003) and thoracic bend with correction (P = 0.004). Field of specialty showed positive correlation as well; with orthopedic in-situ bend (P = 0.002) and with correction (P = 0.003). Conclusions: Spine surgeons tend to over-bend rods, when given target angles and when correction is needed. However, when provided with template, a 3D printed moulage in our study, accuracy of rod bending improved significantly.

Published: August 2022

The paper focuses on the study of cyber security in Ukraine and creation of a predictive model for reducing the risk of identified cyber threats. Forecasting is performed using a linear regression model, taking into account the optimal dependence of specific threats in the field of cyber security of Ukraine on variables characterizing capabilities / vulnerabilities of cyber security. An unique empirical base was used for the analysis, which was formed on the basis of an expert survey of the cyber security system’s subjects in Ukraine. In order to increase the representativeness of the research, based on the selection of reliable expert population, data cleaning is provided. Methodological research is based on a risk-oriented approach, which provided a risk assessment of the spread of cyber threats and, on this basis, the determination of capabilities / vulnerabilities of the cyber security system in Ukraine. The value of the research is formed not only by assessing the risks of the spread of cyber threats, but by a more in-depth analysis of the dependence of the cyber threats’ level on the vulnerability of the cyber security system based on the search for optimal and statistically significant relationships. The experiment was conducted on the basis of determining the optimal model for forecasting the risk of the spread of one of the most significant threats in Ukraine – data confidentiality breach (54.67%), depending on the variables that characterize the capabilities / vulnerabilities of the cyber security system in Ukraine. The experiment showed that the optimal model emphasizes the predictors characterizing the vulnerability of the organizational cyber security system – "Departmental level of cybersecurity monitoring" and capabilities: "The level of use of risk management approaches at the operational level" and "The level of methodological support for cybersecurity of the critical infrastructure system".
Conventional Regulation of Relations related to multiple and dual Citizenship
Authors: Adzhba Diana
Published: August 2022

The subject of the study is the conventional regulation of relations arising in connection with multiple and dual citizenship. The emphasis in the modern international regulation of issues of dual and/or multiple citizenship is generated by the progressive increase in actual states when a person has two or more nationalities, which affects the interests of several States. Such a phenomenon is accompanied by the emergence of a wide range of problems requiring interstate interaction, which, as a rule, is expressed in the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral treaties on bi- and polypatrism. Such treaties concluded within the framework of modern international law reflect either the negative attitude of the signatory States towards dual and multiple citizenship, or the desire of States to find relevant ways to eliminate the consequences of these phenomena, which are often caused by disputes between States. The article examines the practice of conventional resolution of problems caused by the presence of bi- and poly-patrid status, the changed vectors of the settlement of issues of dual and multiple citizenship, as well as priority areas of modern international law in this area. The article concludes that bilateral cooperation in the field of bipatrism is more effective, which nevertheless will not solve the problem of dual and multiple citizenship at the global level. In addition, the conclusion of a universal international agreement on bi- and polypatrism also does not seem to be an effective means of resolving disputes arising due to significant economic, political, ethno-cultural, historical and legal differences between States, in particular in matters of regulating citizenship. The author considers it necessary to develop new approaches to ensure greater effectiveness of the mechanism of international legal regulation of bi- and polypatrism.

Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) has been successfully used in spintronic devices, such as magnetoresistive random access memory, tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) sensor, magnetic logic. In the TMR sensor a special magnetic structure is used between the free layer and the pinned layer of an MTJ to realize a linear output. So far, five types of TMR linear sensing units (TMR-LSNs) have been developed based on MgO MTJs, which are artificial-indirect-double-exchange-coupling-, magnetic-field-biased-, in-plane-, perpendicular-, and superparamagnetic-TMR-LSN, respectively. In this paper, the five types of TMR-LSNs are combed and their magnetic sensing performances are systematically compared with each other. First, the five types of TMR-LSNs each have a linear resistance response to the external magnetic field with a changeable sensitivity, a linear field range and a low frequency noise level. Second, in the five types of TMR-LSNs different magnetic structures are used to realize the same aim that is to obtain the optimized performance parameters, which is of significance for putting TMR sensors into practical applications. Third, the five types of TMR-LSNs are suitable for different application scenarios due to their respective performance parameters. Therefore, we believe that our summarized discussion in this paper will help people to explore and find the relevant applications of TMR sensors based on the five types of TMR-LSNs.

Overall, the prevalence of high perceived stress during the pandemic (20.6%) was significantly higher (p = 0.001) than pre-pandemic (11.6%). A multivariable analysis revealed that the independent factors associated with high perceived stress were: participation in the study during the pandemic (aOR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.22–2.63), female sex (aOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.23–2.47), younger age (aOR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.04–2.55) and lower family income (aOR = 1.50, 95% CI: 1.12–2.03). PSS score was negatively correlated with increasing age, family income, and academic level. PSS score was positively correlated with: worries about the possible disruption of education or exams, excessive news exposure, worries about the possibility of COVID-19 infection, and the effects of mandatory isolation and social distancing.

Conclusion

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the level of stress among medical students. Female students, younger students, and those in lower academic grades are the most at risk of having high stress. Worries about possible academic disruptions due to the pandemic are significant stressors. The implementation of online stress management programs is recommended.

Historical sources of Brazilian underdevelopment
Authors: BARROS ALEXANDRE RANDS
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT In this work, it is shown that Brazil has already entered the past century behind the developed countries. The three main views to explain this fact are reviewed and a fourth, based on recent theoretical developments, is presented. This view explains the backwardness of the Brazilian economy due to the composition of its social classes, their historical roots and their interrelations.

Aflatoxin contamination caused by Aspergillus flavus in nutmeg has become a severe export obstacle. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of coating formula to reduce A. flavus contamination in nutmeg seeds. Cleaned and dried nutmeg seeds were coated with a coating formula containing propylparaben, potassium sorbate, and clove oil, then challenged by spraying with A. flavus conidia suspension.  The treated seeds were incubated in humid plastic boxes. The colonization of A. flavus on the seeds was visually assessed after treatment. Aflatoxin contamination, the residue of propylparaben, and potassium sorbate were analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that total aflatoxin in the shelled nutmeg seeds without coating was 471.69 µg kg-1, which is much higher than that in the coated seeds with formula (4.22 µg kg-1). Also, aflatoxin B1 was 462.10 µg kg-1 in the uncoated shelled seeds compared with that in the coated seeds (3.71 µg kg-1).  In the unshelled nutmeg seeds without coating, total aflatoxin and aflatoxin B1 contaminations were higher (376.06 µg kg-1 and 342.84 µg kg-1, respectively) than that in the coated seeds (3.00 µg kg-1 and 2.74 µg kg-1). Propylparaben residue in the coated nutmeg seeds was undetected, while, the potassium sorbate residue was detected as much as 30.86 mg kg-1 in shelled and coated nutmeg seeds.  The study showed that the coating formula was effective in reducing aflatoxin contamination in shelled and unshelled nutmeg seeds.

Published: August 2022

Bitter gourd, Momordica charantia Linn., is one of the most important traditional vegetable in India.  Infestations of sucking pests especially jassid, and whitefly occurred thorough out the crop growth period in the region. For ecofriendly management, different pest management modules viz., bio-intensive, chemical, and integrated modules were evaluated against these sucking pests and compared under field conditions during 2019–2021. Among the three tested modules, the integrated pest management (IPM) comprised seed treatment with imidacloprid @ 5–10 g kg-1 of seed, installation of yellow sticky traps @ 25–30 ha-1, border crop with maize, spraying of azadirachtin 1500 ppm @ 10 ml L-1, thiamethoxam @ 1 g 3-1 L, imidacloprid @ 1 g 12-1 L, cyantraniliprole @ 1.8 ml L-1, neem oil (0.5%) + Lecanicillium lecanii @  2.5 g L-1, and neem oil (0.5%) + Beauveria bassiana @  2.5 g L-1 from 20 to 70 days after sowing at 10 days intervals each harboured lowest whiteflies population (0.63 per leaf) with maximum per cent reduction over control of 70.14. The number of predatory lady bird beetles and polyphagous spiders were also higher. The highest healthy fruit yields (171, 179, and 153 q ha-1) were recorded from the IPM module for three consecutive years (2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively). In terms of return, maximum net profit of ₹71,211 was obtained from the IPM module with the highest incremental cost-benefit ratio of 1:5.18. Therefore, the IPM module could be a viable ecofriendly option in the management of the sucking pests of bitter gourd, along with the conservation of natural enemies.

Philosophical and Discursive Approaches to the Categorisation of Modal Meanings in Multi-modal Texts
Authors: HOLUBENKO Nataliia
Published: August 2022

The question of overcoming barriers between the study of language and philosophical, immanent perception of the image and other aspects that formulate a coherent text is still open. A multimodal approach to understanding the news coverage strategy in the Telegram can reveal the discursive function and the multimodal perspective. One uses a combination of linguistic and philosophical approaches to analyze multimodal texts. This combination proves that the homogeneous use of the model of proving empirical reality employing philosophical and linguistic segments reveals the modulations. The article aims to explore the theoretical foundations of philosophical and discursive approaches to categorizing modal meanings in multimodal texts. The study results of the ideational architectonics of the 65 analysed multimodal posts on the Ukrainian Telegram channel “SUSPILNE NEWS” as of April 18, 2022 have pointed to a tendency of disconnection of categorical modalities. 19 multimodal texts out of 65 revealed a complete symbiosis of philosophical and linguistic modus operandi (the presence of all linguistic and extralinguistic resources, including video sequences), while 46 posts acted as monomodal tests. Regarding the number of “likes” and views, the posts with all extralinguistic and semiotically heterogeneous resources were more popular and, therefore, more exciting and easier to perceive.
Crítica ao sensível na teoria da alma racional de René Descartes
Authors: Zanette Edgard Vinícius Cacho
Published: August 2022

Nesta obra, propomo-nos a mostrar que, na teoria da alma racional de René Descartes, nada nos permite afirmar que seu idealismo instaura uma doutrina oposta ao âmbito do sensível. O estilo da escrita de Descartes é desafiador, provocador, e pretende mostrar rigorosamente a verdade do sensível em toda sua importância e fecundidade. Nesse sentido, pela nossa interpretação da teoria da alma racional, intencionamos mostrar como o filósofo renuncia a um saber pré-filosófico, porém, para reconduzi-lo a seu devido lugar.
Updated and Weaker Convergence Criteria of Newton Iterates for Equations
Authors: Regmi Samundra , Argyros Ioannis K. , George Santhosh , Argyros Michael I.
Published: August 2022

Newton iteration is often used as a solver for nonlinear equations in abstract spaces. Some of the main concerns are general: Criteria for convergence, error estimations on consecutive iterates, and the location of a solution. A plethora of authors has addressed these concerns by presenting results based on the celebrated Kantorovich theory. This article contributes in this direction by extending earlier results but without additional conditions. These extensions become possible using a more precise majorization than the one given in earlier articles. Numerical experimentation complements the theoretical results involving a partial differential and an integral equation.
