Authors: SAAD FILHO ALFREDO
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT This paper draws upon Bresser-Pereira and Nakano (2003), in order to outline a pro-poor growth strategy for middle-income countries. This strategy avoids the pitfalls of the neoliberal model implemented in several countries in the aftermath of the 1982 international debt crisis, and is conducive to income distribution and sustainable growth simultaneously.

Authors: MENDONÇA HELDER FERREIRA DE , SILVA ANABEL DA
Published: June 2020

RESUMO Atualmente, influenciados pela experiência europeia, vários economistas brasileiros têm dado atenção especial à possibilidade de uma união monetária entre os países do Mercosul. Este trabalho faz uma breve análise dos principais aspectos teóricos que representam a base para a proposição de uma área monetária. Além disso, o artigo mostra duas visões distintas na literatura nacional sobre a hipótese da criação de uma área de moeda para o Mercosul. A principal conclusão deste artigo é que a proposta mencionada acima não é viável, porque os custos da coordenação macroeconômica são muito altos.

Authors: Machado Mariana Rodrigues , Mosmann Clarisse Pereira
Published: June 2020

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi testar um modelo estrutural no qual a regulação emocional é mediadora entre dimensões negativas da coparentalidade e sintomas internalizantes em adolescentes. A amostra foi composta de 229 adolescentes entre 11 a 18 anos. Modelagem de equações estruturais foi utilizada para testar a validade empírica do modelo teórico proposto. Os resultados indicaram que regulação emocional é mediadora da associação entre dimensões negativas de coparentalidade e sintomas internalizantes em adolescentes. Em contraste, associação direta entre coparentalidade e sintomas internalizantes não se manteve significativa no modelo com mediação. Conclui-se que a regulação emocional possui papel determinante para o desenvolvimento de sintomas internalizantes no contexto de dificuldades coparentais.

ABSTRACT: Bluetongue is an infectious, non-contagious disease that affects domestic and wild ruminants, caused by a virus from the Orbivirus genus, Reoviridae family, transmitted by arthropod vectors of the Culicoides genus. This paper aims to be the first serological survey of bluetongue in sheep from the Meso-regions of Campo das Vertentes and South and Southeast of Minas Gerais. Samples were collected from sheep from different properties. The serum samples were submitted to Agar Gel Immunodiffusion (AGID) and competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (cELISA). 303 serum samples were submitted to AGID and cELISA. In these samples, 164 (54.13%) were positive in the AGID technique, and 171 (56.44%) positive in the cELISA technique, with an almost perfect agreement between the techniques (kappa index = 0.887). In all visited properties, positive animals have been found in the herd. Animals acquired from properties of the studied mesoregions were more likely to be positive in IDGA and cELISA tests than animals acquired from properties in other regions of Brazil (p<0.001). These results suggest that bluetongue virus (BTV) is widespread in the mesoregions of Campo das Vertentes and South and Southeast of Minas Gerais.

Authors: Çandiroğlu Begüm , Güngör Nihal Doğruöz
Published: June 2020

Since cave ecosystems have extraordinary environmental conditions, these ecosystems offer opportunities for microbiological studies. In this study, cultivable bacteria isolated from Parsık cave, Turkey, were investigated regarding enzyme profiles, antibiotic resistance and potential for production of antimicrobial agents. The metabolic properties of 321 bacterial isolates were determined. The most produced enzyme by the isolates was found to be tyrosine arylamidase. The enzymatic reactions of the bacteria showed that Parsık cave isolates have high aminopeptidase activity. The highest antibiotic resistance frequency of the isolates was 38.6% against ampicillin. While the isolates displayed variable inhibition rates against tested pathogenic microorganisms, they showed the highest inhibition against Candida albicans. The results show that the bacteria isolated from Parsık cave have potential for further studies related to biotechnological applications. The study findings contribute increased knowledge on metabolic peculiarities of bacteria isolated from cave ecosystems.
PHASEN: A Phase-and-Harmonics-Aware Speech Enhancement Network
Authors: Yin Dacheng , Luo Chong , Xiong Zhiwei , Zeng Wenjun
Published: June 2020

Time-frequency (T-F) domain masking is a mainstream approach for single-channel speech enhancement. Recently, focuses have been put to phase prediction in addition to amplitude prediction. In this paper, we propose a phase-and-harmonics-aware deep neural network (DNN), named PHASEN, for this task. Unlike previous methods which directly use a complex ideal ratio mask to supervise the DNN learning, we design a two-stream network, where amplitude stream and phase stream are dedicated to amplitude and phase prediction. We discover that the two streams should communicate with each other, and this is crucial to phase prediction. In addition, we propose frequency transformation blocks to catch long-range correlations along the frequency axis. Visualization shows that the learned transformation matrix implicitly captures the harmonic correlation, which has been proven to be helpful for T-F spectrogram reconstruction. With these two innovations, PHASEN acquires the ability to handle detailed phase patterns and to utilize harmonic patterns, getting 1.76dB SDR improvement on AVSpeech + AudioSet dataset. It also achieves significant gains over Google's network on this dataset. On Voice Bank + DEMAND dataset, PHASEN outperforms previous methods by a large margin on four metrics.
Dialog State Tracking with Reinforced Data Augmentation
Authors: Yin Yichun , Shang Lifeng , Jiang Xin , Chen Xiao , Liu Qun
Published: June 2020

Neural dialog state trackers are generally limited due to the lack of quantity and diversity of annotated training data. In this paper, we address this difficulty by proposing a reinforcement learning (RL) based framework for data augmentation that can generate high-quality data to improve the neural state tracker. Specifically, we introduce a novel contextual bandit generator to learn fine-grained augmentation policies that can generate new effective instances by choosing suitable replacements for specific context. Moreover, by alternately learning between the generator and the state tracker, we can keep refining the generative policies to generate more high-quality training data for neural state tracker. Experimental results on the WoZ and MultiWoZ (restaurant) datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly improves the performance over the state-of-the-art models, especially with limited training data.
Multi-Point Semantic Representation for Intent Classification
Authors: Zhang Jinghan , Ye Yuxiao , Zhang Yue , Qiu Likun , Fu Bin , Li Yang , Yang Zhenglu , Sun Jian
Published: June 2020

Detecting user intents from utterances is the basis of natural language understanding (NLU) task. To understand the meaning of utterances, some work focuses on fully representing utterances via semantic parsing in which annotation cost is labor-intentsive. While some researchers simply view this as intent classification or frequently asked questions (FAQs) retrieval, they do not leverage the shared utterances among different intents. We propose a simple and novel multi-point semantic representation framework with relatively low annotation cost to leverage the fine-grained factor information, decomposing queries into four factors, i.e., topic, predicate, object/condition, query type. Besides, we propose a compositional intent bi-attention model under multi-task learning with three kinds of attention mechanisms among queries, labels and factors, which jointly combines coarse-grained intent and fine-grained factor information. Extensive experiments show that our framework and model significantly outperform several state-of-the-art approaches with an improvement of 1.35%-2.47% in terms of accuracy.
Relational Graph Neural Network with Hierarchical Attention for Knowledge Graph Completion
Authors: Zhang Zhao , Zhuang Fuzhen , Zhu Hengshu , Shi Zhiping , Xiong Hui , He Qing
Published: June 2020

The rapid proliferation of knowledge graphs (KGs) has changed the paradigm for various AI-related applications. Despite their large sizes, modern KGs are far from complete and comprehensive. This has motivated the research in knowledge graph completion (KGC), which aims to infer missing values in incomplete knowledge triples. However, most existing KGC models treat the triples in KGs independently without leveraging the inherent and valuable information from the local neighborhood surrounding an entity. To this end, we propose a Relational Graph neural network with Hierarchical ATtention (RGHAT) for the KGC task. The proposed model is equipped with a two-level attention mechanism: (i) the first level is the relation-level attention, which is inspired by the intuition that different relations have different weights for indicating an entity; (ii) the second level is the entity-level attention, which enables our model to highlight the importance of different neighboring entities under the same relation. The hierarchical attention mechanism makes our model more effective to utilize the neighborhood information of an entity. Finally, we extensively validate the superiority of RGHAT against various state-of-the-art baselines.
Distilling Knowledge from Well-Informed Soft Labels for Neural Relation Extraction
Authors: Zhang Zhenyu , Shu Xiaobo , Yu Bowen , Liu Tingwen , Zhao Jiapeng , Li Quangang , Guo Li
Published: June 2020

Extracting relations from plain text is an important task with wide application. Most existing methods formulate it as a supervised problem and utilize one-hot hard labels as the sole target in training, neglecting the rich semantic information among relations. In this paper, we aim to explore the supervision with soft labels in relation extraction, which makes it possible to integrate prior knowledge. Specifically, a bipartite graph is first devised to discover type constraints between entities and relations based on the entire corpus. Then, we combine such type constraints with neural networks to achieve a knowledgeable model. Furthermore, this model is regarded as teacher to generate well-informed soft labels and guide the optimization of a student network via knowledge distillation. Besides, a multi-aspect attention mechanism is introduced to help student mine latent information from text. In this way, the enhanced student inherits the dark knowledge (e.g., type constraints and relevance among relations) from teacher, and directly serves the testing scenarios without any extra constraints. We conduct extensive experiments on the TACRED and SemEval datasets, the experimental results justify the effectiveness of our approach.
Replicate, Walk, and Stop on Syntax: An Effective Neural Network Model for Aspect-Level Sentiment Classification
Authors: Zheng Yaowei , Zhang Richong , Mensah Samuel , Mao Yongyi
Published: June 2020

Aspect-level sentiment classification (ALSC) aims at predicting the sentiment polarity of a specific aspect term occurring in a sentence. This task requires learning a representation by aggregating the relevant contextual features concerning the aspect term. Existing methods cannot sufficiently leverage the syntactic structure of the sentence, and hence are difficult to distinguish different sentiments for multiple aspects in a sentence. We perceive the limitations of the previous methods and propose a hypothesis about finding crucial contextual information with the help of syntactic structure. For this purpose, we present a neural network model named RepWalk which performs a replicated random walk on a syntax graph, to effectively focus on the informative contextual words. Empirical studies show that our model outperforms recent models on most of the benchmark datasets for the ALSC task. The results suggest that our method for incorporating syntactic structure enriches the representation for the classification.
Discourse Level Factors for Sentence Deletion in Text Simplification
Authors: Zhong Yang , Jiang Chao , Xu Wei , Li Junyi Jessy
Published: June 2020

This paper presents a data-driven study focusing on analyzing and predicting sentence deletion — a prevalent but understudied phenomenon in document simplification — on a large English text simplification corpus. We inspect various document and discourse factors associated with sentence deletion, using a new manually annotated sentence alignment corpus we collected. We reveal that professional editors utilize different strategies to meet readability standards of elementary and middle schools. To predict whether a sentence will be deleted during simplification to a certain level, we harness automatically aligned data to train a classification model. Evaluated on our manually annotated data, our best models reached F1 scores of 65.2 and 59.7 for this task at the levels of elementary and middle school, respectively. We find that discourse level factors contribute to the challenging task of predicting sentence deletion for simplification.

Lessons Learned

Androgen receptor as assessed by immunohistochemistry is expressed in a high proportion of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Enzalutamide at 160 mg orally daily is safe and tolerable in patients with advanced HCC but has no single-agent antitumor activity. Enzalutamide, a CYP3A4 inducer, at a standard dose of 160 mg reduces the exposure of sorafenib, a CYP3A4 substrate. Enzalutamide and sorafenib is safe and tolerable in patients with advanced HCC, but the addition of enzalutamide to sorafenib did not enhance the antitumor activity of sorafenib.

Background

Androgen receptor (AR) interference is deleterious to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in preclinical models.

Methods

This is a multicenter, phase Ib study of enzalutamide ± sorafenib in patients with advanced HCC. In part 1, a 3 + 3 dose de-escalation design with expansion established the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of enzalutamide in patients in whom sorafenib treatment had failed. In part 2, a 3 + 3 dose escalation with expansion established the safety of enzalutamide with sorafenib in treatment-naive patients with HCC. Secondary objectives included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), pharmacokinetics (PK), and determination of AR expression by immunohistochemistry. A 7-day run-in with sorafenib alone in part 2 allowed assessment of the impact of enzalutamide on sorafenib pharmacokinetics.

Results

In part 1, 16 patients received enzalutamide 160 mg daily. No dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred; 1 patient required dose reduction. Responses were not observed; median PFS and OS were 1.8 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.6–3.6) and 7 (95% CI: 3.6 to not reached [NR]) months, respectively. In part 2, patients received sorafenib 400 mg daily (4) or twice a day (8) both with enzalutamide at the recommended phase II dose—no DLTs were observed. ORR was 10% (95% CI: 0.3–44.5), and median PFS and OS were 2.9 (95% CI: 1.6 to NR) and 6.7 (95% CI: 4.6 to NR) months, respectively. Enzalutamide reduced sorafenib exposure by 60%. Tumor AR expression did not associate with outcome.

Conclusion

Enzalutamide is ineffective in HCC; further development is not supported by this study.
ivcrc: An Instrumental Variables Estimator for the Correlated Random Coefficients Model
Authors: Benson David , Masten Matthew A. , Torgovitsky Alexander
Published: June 2020

We present the ivcrc command, which implements an instrumental variables (IV) estimator for the linear correlated random coefficients (CRC) model. This model is a natural generalization of the standard linear IV model that allows for endogenous, multivalued treatments and unobserved heterogeneity in treatment effects. The proposed estimator uses recent semiparametric identification results that allow for flexible functional forms and permit instruments that may be binary, discrete, or continuous. The command also allows for the estimation of varying coefficients regressions, which are closely related in structure to the proposed IV estimator. We illustrate this IV estimator and the ivcrc command by estimating the returns to education in the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Men.
Reviewing a Hadith Manuscript Equated to ʿAli b. Maʿbad al-Misrī (d. 218/833)

Hanafi bookman ʿAli b. Maʿbad b. Shaddād al-Rakkī al-Misrī (d. 218/833) from
Raqqa who actualized the major scientific activities in Egypt was a
little-known narrator and canonist in our day. ʿAli b. Maʿbad took lessons from teachers such as al-Layth b. Saʿd (d. 175/791), Ismāīl
ibn Jaʿfar (d. 180/796), Muḥammad
al-Shaybānī (d. 189/805) ʿAbd Allāh ibn Wahb (d. 197/813). Moreover, he was the
narrator of Imam Muḥammad’s books called al-Jāmi al-Kabīr and al-Jāmi
al-Saghīr. The book called Kitāb al-tāʿat wa al-maʿsiya that
is the only text equated to him is still on the loose. We aimed to analyze the
hadiths that are written on a papyrus recorded as “Mich.Pap.D.953” in Cambridge
University. We have concluded by this papyrus that 13 numbered papyrus that N.
Abbott analyzed in his book called Studies in Arabic literary papyri II
is the two parts of the same book. In this regard, we also researched whether
this papyrus belongs to the book we’ve mentioned about. However, this papyrus
might be a part of his other book that we do not know. Our investigation of
this book as a hadith fascicle that was directly written by the author will
offer an insight to the reliability of narration of hadith books. Our goal is
to contribute to arguments in this aspect.
Eşʻarî Geleneğin İsmâilîlik Söylemi Ve Sosyo-Politik Temelleri (Bağdâdî Örneği)
Authors: Toru Ümüt
Published: June 2020

Abdülkâhir el-Bağdâdî, İslam Mezhepleri Tarihi alanında ilk eserlerden birisini kaleme almış Eşʻarî bir alimdir. İsmâiliyye’nin Fâtımîler sayesinde önemli bir güç haline geldiği bir dönemde Horasan bölgesinde yaşamıştır. Ehl-i Sünnet’e yoğun bir aidiyet duygusuyla bağlı bulunmakta ve kurtuluşun, ancak bu mezhebe mensup olmakla mümkün olacağını düşünmektedir. Hâl böyle olunca Fâtımîler’in yükselişe geçtiği bir dönemde Sünnî halkı onlardan uzak tutmaya yönelik bir söylem geliştirmiştir. Bu söylemdeki anahtar iddia, onların İslam düşmanı bir Dehrî olduklarıdır. İsmâiliyye hakkında verilen diğer bütün bilgiler, bu temel bakış açısı üzerine bina edilmiştir. Mesela mezheplerin tarihsel süreçleri hakkında bilgi vermek çok yaygın bir yaklaşım olmadığı halde o, İsmâilî grupların yayıldıkları yerlerdeki sosyo-politik faaliyetleri hakkında ayrıntılı açıklamalarda bulunmuştur. Böyle yapmakla o, onların İslam düşmanı yapılarını bütün açıklığıyla insanlara göstermek istiyordu. Yine onların İslam’ın şerî esasları hakkındaki olumsuz düşüncelerini ayrıntılı bir şekilde ortaya koymuş, cinsel içerikli aşırı uygulamalarına ise bilhassa vurgu yapmıştır. Bu da onların İslam karşıtı karakterlerini ifşa etmeye yönelik bir girişimdir. Bu kadar marjinal bir grubun nasıl olup da Müslümanları etkilemeyi başardıklarını ise İsmâilî davetçilerin iki yüzlü karakterleriyle anlamlandırmıştır. Bu makale söz konusu iddialar ve sosyo-politik hedefleri üzerine odaklanacaktır.
Shaftesbury’de Ahlakın Temeli: Ahlak Duygusu
Authors: Altunışık Mehmet Akif
Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmada on sekizinci yüzyıl İngiliz düşünürlerinden Shaftesbury’nin ‘ahlak duygusu’ teorisi tartışılmaktadır. Ahlak duygusunun doğal bir duygu olduğunu öne süren Shaftesbury, bu duygu sayesinde iyi ve kötünün ne olduğunun bilineceğini, bu nedenle de ahlakın temelinde ahlak duygusunun yer aldığını iddia eder. Shaftesbury’ye göre ahlak duygusu, görme ve işitme gibi doğal bir yetidir. O, ahlak duygusunun çeşitli nedenlerle bozulmasını önlemenin ve yetkinliğini geliştirmenin ancak iyi bir eğitimle mümkün olabileceğini düşünür. Ayrıca o, bireylerin kendi faydasına göre davranmak isteyeceğini inkâr etmez, ancak bireyin çıkarı ile toplumun çıkarının uyum içinde olduğunu ve bu uyum sayesinde ahlaki iyiliğin ortaya çıktığını savunur. Egoist ahlaka ve kötücül insan doğası anlayışına karşı çıkan Shaftesbury, ahlakın nesnel ve özerk olduğuna inanır. Duygucu ahlakın öncüsü kabul edilen Shaftesbury’nin ahlak duygusu teorisi, sonraki duygucu etik türlerinden önemli ölçüde farklıdır. Onun, duygunun yanında akla da büyük önem verdiği ahlak teorisi, insana duygu-akıl bağlamında bütüncül olarak yaklaştığı için oldukça önemlidir.
Şevâhidü’n-Nübüvve Adlı Eseri Bağlamında Abdurrahman Câmi’nin Ehl-İ Beyt Tasavvuru Ve Ehl-İ Beyt’in Emeviler’le İlişkilerine Dair Bazı Görüşleri
Authors: Sever Mehmet
Published: June 2020

Abdurrahman Câmî (ö. 898/1492) İslam düşünce geleneğinin önemli simalarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Kelam, felsefe, Arap grameri ve menkıbeler üzere telif ettiği eserler ile birlikte, Arapça ve Farça mesnevilerden oluşan Dîvân’ı, İslam düşüncesinin vazgeçilmez klasikleri arasına girmeyi başarmıştır. Aldığı klasik eğitimin yanı sıra İbn Arabî düşüncesi ile Nakşiliği benimsemiş olması, eserlerinde kelâmî, felsefî ve dilsel yaklaşımlarla beraber tasavvufî geleneğin izlerinin görülmesini sağlamıştır. Bu bağlamda Câmî, Eş’arî geleneğin içinde Ekberî ve Nakşî anlayışın bir sentezini yapmaya çalışmış bir âlim olarak dikkat çekmektedir.      Bu çalışma Sünni bir mütekellim ve şair olan Câmî’nin Ehl-i Beyt hakkındaki tasavvurunu ve Emeviler dönemi siyasi ilişkilerini Şevahidü’n-Nübüvveadlı eserinden hareketle ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Özellikle Câmi’nin yaşadığı dönem Timurlar dönemi iktidarının Sünnilik ve Şiilik arasında din politikalarının değişkenlik gösterdiği bir dönemdir. Bu bağlamda iktidarın farklı din politikaları izlemesi, mezhepsel gerginlikleri yatıştıramamış, toplumsal tartışmaları ve yaşanan kavgaları önleyememiştir.  Özellikle Şiî grupların Ehl-i Beyt’in manevi otoritesi üzerinden “imamet” ve “kutsal hanedanlık” teorisini inşâ etmeyi istemesi, bu tartışmaları Ehl-i Beyt tasavvuru merkezine çekmiştir. Şiîlerin “ismet” ve” vasiyet” kavramları ekseninde ortaya koydukları “Ehl-i Beyt” tasavvuru, zamanla politik ve dini bir argümana dönüşmüş; Hulefâ-i Râşidîn başta olmak üzere sahabenin çoğunluğunu dışlayan bir tarih tasavvuru oluşturmuştur. Bu iddialara karşı Câmî, Ehl-i Beyt’in fazilet ve menkıbelerini, Şiiler’in iddialarının aksine yeni bir yoruma tabi tutmayı denemiş, iki mezhep arasında ortak bir “Ehl-i Beyt” tasavvuru ortaya koyma imkânını aramıştır.

FD3D_TSN: A Fast and Simple Code for Dynamic Rupture Simulations with GPU Acceleration
Authors: Premus Jan , Gallovič František , Hanyk Ladislav , Gabriel Alice-Agnes
Published: June 2020

We introduce FD3D_TSN—an open-source Fortran code for 3D dynamic earthquake rupture modeling based on the staggered grid fourth-order finite-difference method employing a regular cubical spatial discretization. Slip-weakening and fast-velocity-weakening rate-and-state fault friction laws are combined with vertical planar fault geometry, orthogonal to a planar free surface. FD3D_TSN demonstrates good agreement with other methods in a range of benchmark exercises of the Southern California Earthquake Center and U.S. Geological Survey dynamic rupture code verification project. Efficient graphic processing units (GPU) acceleration using the OpenACC framework yields a factor of 10 speed-up in terms of time to solution compared to a single-core solution for current hardware (Intel i9-9900K and Nvidia RTX 2070). The software is fast and easy-to-use and suitable explicitly for data-driven applications requiring a large number of forward simulations such as dynamic source inversion or probabilistic ground-motion modeling. The code is freely available for the scientific community and may be incorporated in physics-based earthquake source imaging and seismic hazard assessment, or for teaching purposes.

Authors: Serrano Carlos Herminio , Cruz María Pía , Martin-Schmädke Italo Federico
Published: June 2020

El método de compactación dinámica, muy poco difundido en Argentina, no ha sido utilizado en la ciudad de Córdoba hasta esta ocasión. Su aplicación en la “Planta de Tratamiento de Líquidos Cloacales Bajo Grande” ha constituido un gran logro técnico y ecónomico. Este artículo sintetiza estudios geotécnicos previos al mejoramiento, caracteriza la compactación dinámica a partir del perfil de suelos existente y requisitos de obras de gran impronta como sedimentadores y tanques de aireación. Se mencionan aspectos de control de obra durante su ejecución, datos de estudios de suelos posteriores al mejoramiento, parámetros del modelo matemático empleado para efectuar la prognosis de asientos de acuerdo al perfil de suelos evaluado y mediciones de validación de asientos con los sedimentadores en funcionamiento. La compactación se llevó a cabo dejando caer una masa de 10000 kg en caída libre a 15  m de altura desde una grúa, sobre puntos distanciados aproximadamente a 2.8 m entre sí. Se ejecutaron dos fases de varias caídas permitiendo un aumento de la densidad relativa del suelo original hasta un máximo de 70%, reduciendo los asentamientos verticales 10%, disminuyendo la distorsión angular a la mitad, duplicando la capacidad portante y alcanzando una profundidad máxima de mejoramiento próxima a 6 m. Luego se realizó por requisito de proyecto una fase de nivelación de terreno con compactación mecánica. Pudo concluirse que la fundación de la obra con plateas de hormigón armado sobre el suelo mejorado, presentó una factibilidad técnica-económica muy superior respecto a la alternativa de una fundación profunda con pilotes, lo que justificó la ejecución de la compactación dinámica en esta obra.

Objective: Peripheral intravenous catherization procedures are frequently performed on hospitalized patients. The application of the peripheral intravenous catherization is one of the most frequently used invasive nursing procedures. Although peripheral intravenous catheterization is the most commonly performed basic nursing skill and it is the skill that causes the most anxiety during clinical practices. Thereforei this study was conducted to examine nursing students’ levels of knowledge about peripheral intravenous catheterization.Methods: This descriptive and correlational study’s data were collected from 302 nursing students from February 2019 to April 2019 during the 2018-2019 academic year. The study data were collected using an introductory information form, the Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Information Form and in face-to-face interviews.Results: The students’ mean score for knowledge levels about peripheral intravenous catheterization was 66.53 ± 15.00. The students who had graduated from vocational schools of health and the students who were in their fourth year of study had higher levels of knowledge about peripheral intravenous catheterization, and this was a statistically significant difference with the other students.Conclusion: The nursing students’ level of knowledge about peripheral intravenous catheterization increased with years of study, and they had moderately high levels of knowledge about it during their 4-year undergraduate education.
Gender choice in assisted reproductive technologies: opportunities, dangers, prospects
Authors: Rusanova Nina E.
Published: June 2020

Today, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a birth rate factor, which allows almost every person to give birth to a child, regardless of health. Fully reliable gender selection is only possible through pre-implantation diagnostics (PGD) as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Usually preference is given to boys, and the problem turns from individual family into a socio-gender problem, which can only be solved at the state level. While traditional methods of gender regulation involved selective abortions or killing of newborns («infanticide»), modern ART technically solves the issue at the pre-implantation stage, but entails ethical, psychological and financial problems that require special control. By prohibiting sex-selective abortions, the state limits the possibility of gender choice at the stage of conception to the risk of inherited diseases transmission due to fears of seriously disturbing natural gender balance, creating prerequisites for «genomocide». According to the National ART registries, Surveys of the International Federation of Fertility Societies for 2010–2019, Russian and foreign «hospital» statistics and the media, the article shows increase in the popularity of PGD that makes it possible to make a gender choice. In Russia, where the number of children in a family rarely exceeds two, and reproductive clinics perform all IVF programs, the choice of child’s gender is possible only with medically-justified PGD, and almost always performed at the expense of the patient. The only perspective in this situation is inclusion of such a PGD in the Compulsory Health Insurance system, when the gender of an unborn child becomes an additional, and its health — the main result.
Rural life of Russian women

Published: June 2020

The relevance of the study of the living conditions of rural women is related to the actual demographic situation in the Russian hinterland. In rural areas of the Russian Federation there is a stable decline in the population due, first of all, to natural population decrease, as well as migration outflow connected with low standards and quality of life, unattractiveness of labor in rural areas, and social infrastructure. Rural women as a socio-demographic group with typical socio-psychological, ideological, moral and ethno-cultural characteristics, similar spiritual values, social experience and lifestyles, being a more numerous part of the population of rural territories, act as a kind of bulwark for preservation of the village, its culture, traditions and rural economy as a whole. A quarter of all Russian women live in rural areas. Distribution of the country’s population by gender and age groups as of January 1, 2019 shows that women predominate in the rural population (52%). And the group of women over working age is twice as large as that of men (6775 thousand against 3230 thousand). In other words, Russian village has actually a female face. In this regard, the study of rural women’s issues is very important and timely. The article shows the role of women in the social development of the village, provides excerpts from interviews of rural female activists, their reasoning about how they live despite the difficulties that surround them. It highlights demographic trends in rural areas, assesses the quality of the labor potential of rural residents in comparison with urban residents, and shows a higher level of self-realization in labor activity among women than among men.
