El cliente: el verdadero agente del cambio en psicoterapia
Authors: Gismero-González Elena
Published: July 2021

Las evidencias científicas no dejan lugar a dudas sobre el papel activo que las personas tienen en la gestión de sus acontecimientos vitales adversos y su capacidad de recuperación. Ocurre lo mismo con su papel protagonista en psicoterapia, donde todas las investigaciones sitúan al mal llamado «paciente» como el verdadero agente de cambio; el papel del terapeuta consiste en adaptar el tratamiento a las necesidades y características de sus clientes, así como crear el clima adecuado para movilizar sus competencias y recursos facilitando el cambio. La evidencia apoya una visión de la psicoterapia más ajustada a un modelo relacional colaborativo.
From Murphy’s Christian Physicalism to Lowe’s Dualism
Authors: Jones Mostyn , LaRock Eric
Published: July 2021

Nancey Murphy argues that God created us as physical beings without immortal souls. She supports this Christian physicalism by arguing that neuroscience can better explain minds in terms of physical information processing than dualists can in problematic nonphysical terms. We reply that Murphy overestimates neuroscience and underestimates dualism. She doesn’t show how neuroscience can explain the mind’s characteristic qualia, unity, privacy, or causality. We argue that Lowe’s dualism can better explain minds, often with experimental support and in testable ways. Murphy’s physicalism thus serves to highlight the value of Lowe’s dualism today.

Positioning and Rebranding as a State Security Tools in Global Space
Authors: Ishchenko Ihor , Bashkeieva Olena
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this article is to explore positioning and rebranding as tools for state security in global space, using the methodology of constructivism in international relations. The author hypothesizes that positioning the country as safe will be attractive only if there is a unifying factor based on the principles of consocial democracy. To achieve this purpose, the authors used several scientific approaches and methods: constructivism as a scientific paradigm; dialectical method; content analysis, and comparison. The article covers the following issues: Positioning and rebranding in modern conditions; Level of branding effectiveness in Ukraine; National identity as the basis for rebranding and state security; Rebranding states in the face of new challenges and threats. The essence of the conclusions is as follows: States will choose a partner for economic cooperation under difficult conditions in terms of political risks, benefits, and costs. This trend is about renewed positioning and rebranding to facilitate decisions on cooperation. The effectiveness of the existing state brand depends not only on creating an attractive external picture of the country’s positioning. Without a genuine alignment of the declared brand with the internal situation of the state, the political system as a whole, the congruent of the mental construct of the main political structures and the social environment, the brand will not be attractive to investors and the country will remain in an unstable environment.
Defining “Information Resources” and Their Interpretation in the Domain of Ukrainian National Police
Authors: Mykievych Mykhailo , Senyk Sviatoslav , Krayevska Oksana
Published: July 2021

The article focuses on studying the definitions of “information technologies” and aims to elaborate on the proposal concerning its legislative consolidation. The analysis of actual regulations in Ukraine, which determine the public relations in the sphere of information, as well as the state of research on this problem by other scholars, have shown the following: (1) currently, there is no unambiguous interpretation of this definition at the legislative level, which creates the preconditions for ambiguous interpretation and practical application of this concept in the legal field; (2) for several reasons, there exists a noticeable lack of a unanimous approach to unifying the definitions of “information resources.” This study offers to rely on an approach according to which the definition of “information resources” is considered in the context of a particular area of social activities. Based on this approach, it is offered to amend the basic normative legal document that defines public relations in the information sphere in Ukraine, i.e., the Law of Ukraine “On Information,” as well as the main legal instrument that regulates information activities in the National Police of Ukraine, that is the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police.”

Identifying the density of grassland fire points with kernel density estimation based on spatial distribution characteristics
Authors: Shuo Zhen , Jingyu Zhang , Zhengxiang Zhang , Jianjun Zhao
Published: July 2021

Understanding the risk of grassland fire occurrence associated with historical fire point events is critical for implementing effective management of grasslands. This may require a model to convert the fire point records into continuous spatial distribution data. Kernel density estimation (KDE) can be used to represent the spatial distribution of grassland fire occurrences and decrease the influences historical records in point format with inaccurate positions. The bandwidth is the most important parameter because it dominates the amount of variation in the estimation of KDE. In this study, the spatial distribution characteristic of the points was considered to determine the bandwidth of KDE with the Ripley’s K function method. With high, medium, and low concentration scenes of grassland fire points, kernel density surfaces were produced by using the kernel function with four bandwidth parameter selection methods. For acquiring the best maps, the estimated density surfaces were compared by mean integrated squared error methods. The results show that Ripley’s K function method is the best bandwidth selection method for mapping and analyzing the risk of grassland fire occurrence with the dependent or inaccurate point variable, considering the spatial distribution characteristics.
The Legal Interpellation of Citizens – A Constitutional Analysis
Authors: Behrens Kathrin
Published: July 2021

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the legal creation of citizen subjects by applying the interpellation theory of Louis Althusser in constitutional citizenship regulations. In addition, this article uncovers the patterns of constitutionally defined rights and duties as implications of intra-constitutional subject construction, especially in relation to a political, a civil and a social dimension. For this purpose, 41 constitutions are analysed quantitatively-descriptively based on an international comparative qualitative document analysis. The study shows that constitutions, as the most fundamental legal documents at the national level, define different formal-legal qualities of citizen subjects and thus determine very specific relations between the state and its citizens. The legal citizenship regulations in national constitutions thus contribute to the stabilization of social (b)order-drawing processes to the extent that they create and secure both barriers and opportunities for individual and collective participation in society, addressing these primarily through a political and less through a civil or social legal dimension.
Glycerophospholipids protect stallion spermatozoa from oxidative damage in vitro
Authors: Medica Ashlee J , Aitken Robert J , Nicolson Garth L , Sheridan Alecia R , Swegen Aleona , De Iuliis Geoffry N , Gibb Zamira
Published: July 2021

Stallion sperm membranes comprise a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, making stallion spermatozoa especially vulnerable to peroxidative damage from reactive oxygen species generated as a by-product of cell metabolism. Membrane lipid replacement therapy with glycerophospholipid (GPL) mixtures has been shown to reduce oxidative damage in vitro and in vivo. The aims of this study were to test the effects of a commercial preparation of GPL, NTFactor® Lipids, on stallion spermatozoa under oxidative stress. When oxidative damage was induced by the addition of arachidonic acid to stallion spermatozoa, the subsequent addition of GPL reduced the percentage of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE; a key end product of lipid peroxidation) positive cells (32.9 ± 2.7 vs 20.9 ± 2.3%; P ≤ 0.05) and increased the concentration of 4-HNE within the spent media (0.026 ± 0.003 vs 0.039 ± 0.004 µg/mL; P ≤ 0.001), suggesting that oxidized lipids had been replaced by exogenous GPL. Lipid replacement improved several motility parameters (total motility: 2.0 ± 1.0 vs 68.8 ± 2.9%; progressive motility: 0 ± 0 vs 19.3 ± 2.6%; straight line velocity: 9.5 ± 2.1 vs 50.9 ± 4.1 µm/s; curvilinear velocity: 40.8 ± 10 vs 160.7 ± 7.8 µm/s; average path velocity: 13.4 ± 2.9 vs 81.9 ± 5.9 µm/s; P ≤ 0.001), sperm viability (13.5 ± 2.9 vs 80.2 ± 1.6%; P ≤ 0.001) and reduced mitochondrial ROS generation (98.2 ± 0.6 vs 74.8 ± 6.1%; P ≤ 0.001). Supplementation with GPL during 17°C in vitro sperm storage over 72 h improved sperm viability (66.4 ± 2.6 vs 78.1 ± 2.9%; P ≤ 0.01) and total motility (53 ± 5.6 vs 66.3 ± 3.5%; P ≤ 0.05). It is concluded that incubation of stallion spermatozoa with sub-µm-sized GPL micelles results in the incorporation of exogenous GPL into sperm membranes, diminishing lipid peroxidation and improving sperm quality in vitro.

Lay summary

Sperm collection and storage is an important step in many artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization regimes for several species, including humans and horses. The sperm membrane, which acts as a protective outer barrier, is made up of fatty acid-containing molecules – called phospholipids. These phospholipids may become damaged by waste products generated by the cell, such as hydrogen peroxide, during non-chilled sperm storage. We aimed to determine if sperm cells were able to repair this membrane damage by supplementing them with phospholipids during non-chilled storage. Sperm was collected from five miniature stallions by artificial vagina, and then supplemented with phospholipids during 72 h sperm storage at 17°C. Our studies show that when stallion sperm are supplemented with phospholipids in vitro, they are able to remove their damaged membrane phospholipids and swap them for undamaged ones, aiding in resistance to cellular waste and improving cell health and potential fertility.
Use of cutting force and vibro-acoustic signals in tool wear monitoring based on multiple regression technique for compreg milling
Authors: Górski Jarosław , Szymanowski Karol , Podziewski Piotr , Śmietańska Katarzyna , Czarniak Paweł , Cyrankowski Mariusz
Published: July 2021

This study focused on a computerised TCM (tool condition monitoring) system as a part of automated monitoring of the machining processes in the wood industry. The system’s principal task was to evaluate the actual state of tool wear without disrupting the normal course of machine tool exploitation for cutting force and vibro-acoustic signals analysis. During the experiment, five physical quantities that are generated during machining were measured and recorded: cutting forces in two directions (Fx, Fy), ultrasonic stress waves (acoustic emission – AE), acoustic pressure in the range of audible frequencies (noise – N), and acceleration of mechanical vibrations (V). Six pairs of tools were used in the experiment. One tool from each pair was experimental, the other was a control tool. Out of the five physical quantities generated during machining that were tested as an indirect source of information on the tool condition, signals of cutting forces and mechanical vibrations proved the most useful. Both acoustic emission and noise signals emerged as wholly inadequate as evidence to predict tool wear.

Published: July 2021

Luffa fibers were evaluated as a reinforcement material in poly-hydroxy-butyrate matrix composites. The treatments consisted of varying the incorporation percentage of mercerized and non-mercerized luffa fibers in a poly-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) matrix (5%, 10%, and 20% w/v). Composites made with PHB and reinforced with luffa fibers (treated and non-treated) were mechanically evaluated (tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and percentage of elongation at break), the surface morphology was described by using scanning electronic microscopy, and the degradability behavior of composites was obtained. According to the results, mechanical properties decreased when the percentage of fibers increased and no significant effects were observed when compared with mercerized fiber composites. Degradability tests demonstrated that the weight loss increased with increased fiber content in composites, independent of the applied pretreatments. Microscopy images exhibited that mercerization improved the fiber incorporation into the polymeric matrix, diminishing the “pull out” effect; the above-mentioned result was supported by using the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy technique, observing the reduction of lignin and hemicellulose peaks in mercerized fibers. Based on the composite mechanical performance and degradability behavior, it was concluded that this material could be used in the packaging sector as biodegradable secondary packaging material.

Published: July 2021

Fiber processing is an important factor that affects the physical and mechanical properties of long kenaf fiber. The physical-mechanical properties, such as color, tensile strength, and moisture regain (MR), are the main characteristics that influence the processing and performance on the final products from kenaf fiber. The objective of this research was to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of kenaf fiber at the week of planting, with different processing methods that were planted in a selected location in Malaysia. Kenaf fiber was separated by the water retting method, where the combination of water retting and mechanical retting was based on the available facilities and proficiency at the sites. The tensile strength and chemical composition of kenaf fiber showed large variability for every location collected and for each processing technique used. Visual observations and color testing indicated that kenaf fiber with extended water immersion exhibited higher lightness and smoother fiber. A slight reduction in moisture regains was observed with increased crystallinity index. The differences among properties of the kenaf fiber that were influenced by harvesting week and processing methods could give some references and overview for the planters, suppliers, industries, and researchers to identify the suitable fiber quality for their targeted final products.
Paper-based products as promising substitutes for plastics in the context of bans on non-biodegradables

Published: July 2021

As a global environmental problem, plastic pollution has attracted worldwide attention. Plastic wastes not only disrupt ecosystems and biodiversity, but they also threaten human life and health. Countries around the world have enacted regulations in recent years to limit the use of plastics. Paper products have been proposed as promising substitutes for plastics, which undoubtedly brings unprecedented opportunities to the pulp and paper industry. However, paper products have some deficiencies in replacing certain plastic products. Research and development to improve paper properties and reduce production costs is needed to meet such challenges.
Perspectives on deriving mathematical models in pulp and paper science
Authors: Kerekes Richard , McDonald David , Zhao Joe
Published: July 2021

Mathematical modelling is a powerful tool in science. Causal mathematical models based on a clear picture of how key variables interact enable a deeper understanding of a given situation and provide reliable predictions. This is a classic approach in science. Unfortunately, this approach is declining in pulp and paper-related research in favour of simply reporting experimental data. The lack of a framework provided by a model diminishes the value of much experimental work. Therefore, the increased use of mathematical models is encouraged, and this approach is illustrated via several practical examples from our work.

Published: July 2021

High-dose Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) expo sure increases the estrogen level in pregnant rats. However, there are limited data available on whether the MSG-related maternal hormonal effects can affect male litters' genitalia phenotype. This study aimed to analyze the impact of MSG on estrogen level in pregnant rats and anogenital distance in male pups. Experiment for this study was performed at the animal facility of Biomedical Laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Andalas, from April 2019 to February 2020. Pregnant Wistar rats were given MSG orally at 2 and 4 mg/g body weight (BW) for 20 days. On day 21, pregnant rats were sacrificed and blood was drawn intracardially. Estradiol serum level was measured by ELISA. Male pups were counted, and the anogenital distance (AGD) was measured. Maternal serum estradiol levels were statistically analyzed by One-Way ANOVA and the AGD of male litters were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results showed that perinatal MSG exposure increased the estradiol level (26.3±4.5 pg/ml; 37.5±6.7 pg/ml; 62.1±8.2 pg/ml in control, 2 mg/g BW, and 4 mg/g BW group, respectively [mean±SD; p=<0.001]) and decreased the AGD (4 mm; 3 mm; 1.5 mm in control, 2 mg/g BW, and 4 mg/gBW group, respectively [median; p=<0.01]) in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, MSG exposure during pregnancy is a risk factor for male rat feminization.
Recent developments and knowledge in pseudocereals including technological aspects
Authors: Bender D. , Schönlechner R.
Published: July 2021

Amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa, and less known, canihua are the most important pseudocereals. Their high nutritional value is well recognized and they are increasingly used for the development of a wide range of starch-based foods, which has been fostered by intensified research data performed in recent years. In addition to health driven motivations, also environmental aspects like the ongoing climate change are an important stimulus to increase agricultural biodiversity again. As pseudocereals are botanically classified as dicotyledonous plants their chemical, physical and processing properties differ significantly from the monocotyledonous cereals. Most important factors that need to be addressed for processing is their smaller seed kernel size, their specific starch structure and granule architecture, their gluten-free protein, but also their dietary fibre and secondary plant metabolites composition. This review gives a condensed overview of the recent developments and gained knowledge with special attention to the technological and food processing aspects of these pseudocereals.
Persistence of the World Religions Paradigm
Authors: Owen Suzanne
Published: July 2021

When I came to Leeds Trinity University, my job title was “lecturer in World Religions” and two of the modules (courses) I was to teach were called World Religions 1 and World Religions 2. There was also a separate module on Method and Theory in the Study of Religion. I was discouraged from changing these in the first couple of years partly because of market expectations. I taught them in much the way as described in Jacob’s paper and in the chapters on “Subversive Pedagogies” in After World Religions (Cotter and Robertson, eds, 2016). I was aware that although we were subverting the World Religions Paradigm (WRP), we hadn’t removed it. This persistence of the WRP, even when we pick it apart, concerns me. Is it really possible to teach world religions without the world religions paradigm?

Dependence of energy consumptions on the type of mechanical mixer used in the biogas reactor
Authors: Spodoba M.O. , Zablodskiy М.М.
Published: July 2021

Purpose. Investigation of the dependence of the energy consumption of mechanical mixers and determination of an energy-efficient type of mixing device to increase the energy efficiency of the biogas formation process and the profitability of further processing into thermal and electrical energy.
Methodology. Determination and analysis of energy costs for mechanical mixers, comparison and determination of their energy consumption in the process of biogas formation, generalization of the results.
Findings. Biogas technologies play an important role in the formation of a modern energy system. The profitability of which directly depends on the energy efficiency of the processes of intensification of anaerobic fermentation. The process of anaerobic fermentation of waste is long, so one of the main methods of intensification of biogas production is the mixing of waste during anaerobic fermentation. Despite the large number of different types of mixing devices and systems, the main task of mixing is to create a homogeneous substance with the same temperature, acidity and other physicochemical components at any point in the volume of the substance. There is a need to increase the energy efficiency of the processes of intensification of anaerobic fermentation and the profitability of further processing of biogas into heat and electricity. Ways to improve energy efficiency are in certain dependences of the energy consumption of mechanical mixers, the choice of an energy-efficient type of mixer, certain criteria that significantly affect the consumption of electrical energy for mixing, the study of the vectors of propagation of flows created by the mixer. The implementation of these actions will allow you to establish the optimal geometric dimensions of the mixer and significantly increase the energy efficiency of biogas plants and further processing of the resulting biogas into thermal and electrical energy.
Originality.  The analysis of the reasons for different values of the Euler criterion for mechanical mixers is carried out with the same mode of the substance motion, its level and volume in the tank and other equal parameters. A comparative analysis of energy costs for the most common types of mechanical mixers in biogas reactors is carried out. It has been established that the use of a two-tier paddle mixer, which has two blades per tier, requires the least amount of energy to mix waste in a biogas reactor with a volume .
Practical value. The data presented in this paper can be used in the design, construction and modernization of biogas plants. The direction of necessary further scientific researches is determined, the realization of which will increase the energy efficiency of biogas production and the profitability of further processing of biogas into thermal and electric energy.
Re-imagining the dialogic spaces of talanoa through Samoan onto-epistemology
Authors: Matapo Jacoba , Enari Dion
Published: July 2021

This article proposes a Samoan indigenous philosophical position to reconceptualise the dialogic spaces of talanoa; particularly how talanoa is applied methodologically to research practice. Talanoa within New Zealand Pacific research scholarship is problematised, raising particular tensions of the universal and humanistic ideologies that are entrenched within institutional ethics and research protocols. The dialogic relational space which is embedded throughout talanoa methodology is called into question, evoking alternative ways of knowing and being within the talanoa research assemblage[1] (including the material-world). Samoan epistemology reveals that nature is constituted within personhood (Vaai & Nabobo-Baba, 2017) and that nature is co-agentic with human in an ecology of knowing. We call for a shift in thinking material-ethics that opens talanoa to a materialist process ontology, where knowledge generation emerges through human and non-human encounters.

 

 

[1] The concept of assemblage developed by Deleuze and Guattari (1987) refers to a process of temporary arrangements or constellations of objects, expressions, bodies, qualities and territories that create new ways of functioning. The assemblage is a multiplicity shaped by a wide range of flows and emerges from the arranging process of heterogenous elements (Livesey, 2010).

La gestión continua de un negocio es análoga a la navegación de una embarcación. Este proceso será más o menos complejo dependiendo del tamaño de la nave, sin embargo, el objetivo será el mismo: mantenerla a flote y llegar a un destino en las mejores condiciones posibles. En ambos casos se requerirá de una serie de recursos y de personas que tengan la capacidad de maniobrar la embarcación, o la organización de leer las señales del entorno, de trazar una hoja de ruta o una estrategia y hacer frente a los retos que se presenten a lo largo del recorrido.

El papel del lenguaje en la creación
Authors: Pérez-Rodríguez Óscar Eduardo
Published: July 2021

El estado actual de la economía es resultado de una serie de rupturas y cambios de paradigma. A lo largo de la historia del pensamiento económico han existido varias corrientes que adquirieron la condición de dominantes, pero todas ellas fueron sustituidas por visiones “alternativas” en medio de grandes cambios y convulsiones sociales (la Primera Revolución Industrial, la Gran Depresión, la Crisis del Petróleo), ante la incapacidad de explicar fenómenos ajenos a su contexto natural (aquel en que fueron postuladas inicialmente), siendo desplazadas por aquellas vertientes del pensamiento que dieron respuestas plausibles a dichos fenómenos, para años más tarde repetir el proceso y caer en la misma incapacidad de dar respuestas satisfactorias a los fenómenos sociales.

Valoración aduanera
Authors: Cuestas Luis Francisco
Published: July 2021

Este libro presenta los principios de la valoración aduanera, desde los elementos que la componen, hasta los diferentes métodos que existen para calcularla, proceso sin el cual no es posible conocer los costos totales relacionados con el comercio exterior. Para fundamentar este proceso, el texto realiza un recorrido por las numerosas legislaciones que sirven como base para la valoración aduanera y que permiten que las negociaciones comerciales sean exitosas. Con este objetivo se hace un recuento de las normativas emitidas por entidades mundiales y territoriales, como son la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) y la Comunidad Andina (CAN). A su vez, estas normativas se complementan con múltiples ejemplos de casos que ilustran los diferentes requisitos que se deben cumplir para aplicar cada uno de los métodos de valoración aduanera.
