Propolis is a natural product obtained from hives. Its chemical composition varies depending on the flora of its surroundings, but nevertheless, common for all types of propolis, they all exhibit remarkable biological activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of a novel Spanish Ethanolic Extract of Propolis (SEEP). It was found that this new SEEP contains high amounts of polyphenols (205 ± 34 mg GAE/g), with unusually more than half of this of the flavonoid class (127 ± 19 mg QE/g). Moreover, a detailed analysis of its chemical composition revealed the presence of olive oil compounds (Vanillic acid, 1-Acetoxypinoresinol, p-HPEA-EA and 3,4-DHPEA-EDA) never detected before in propolis samples. Additionally, relatively high amounts of ferulic acid and quercetin were distinguished, both known for their important therapeutic benefits. Regarding the antimicrobial properties of SEEP, the minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) against Staphylococcus epidermidis strains were found at the concentrations of 240 and 480 µg/mL, respectively. Importantly, subinhibitory concentrations were also found to significantly decrease bacterial growth. Therefore, the results presented here uncover a new type of propolis rich in flavonoids with promising potential uses in different areas of human health.
From Riluzole to Dexpramipexole via Substituted-Benzothiazole Derivatives for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Disease Treatment: Case Studies
Authors: Mignani Serge , Majoral Jean-Pierre , Desaphy Jean-François , Lentini Giovanni
Published: July 2020

The 1,3-benzothiazole (BTZ) ring may offer a valid option for scaffold-hopping from indole derivatives. Several BTZs have clinically relevant roles, mainly as CNS medicines and diagnostic agents, with riluzole being one of the most famous examples. Riluzole is currently the only approved drug to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but its efficacy is marginal. Several clinical studies have demonstrated only limited improvements in survival, without benefits to motor function in patients with ALS. Despite significant clinical trial efforts to understand the genetic, epigenetic, and molecular pathways linked to ALS pathophysiology, therapeutic translation has remained disappointingly slow, probably due to the complexity and the heterogeneity of this disease. Many other drugs to tackle ALS have been tested for 20 years without any success. Dexpramipexole is a BTZ structural analog of riluzole and was a great hope for the treatment of ALS. In this review, as an interesting case study in the development of a new medicine to treat ALS, we present the strategy of the development of dexpramipexole, which was one of the most promising drugs against ALS.
Therapeutic Potential of Polyphenols-Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles in Cardiovascular System
Authors: Pechanova Olga , Dayar Ezgi , Cebova Martina
Published: July 2020

Numerous studies document an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a subsequent decrease in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability in different cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart failure. Many natural polyphenols have been demonstrated to decrease ROS generation and/or to induce the endogenous antioxidant enzymatic defense system. Moreover, different polyphenolic compounds have the ability to increase the activity/expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) with a subsequent enhancement of NO generation. However, as a result of low absorption and bioavailability of natural polyphenols, the beneficial effects of these substances are very limited. Recent progress in delivering polyphenols to the targeted tissues revealed new possibilities for the use of polymeric nanoparticles in increasing the efficiency and reducing the degradability of natural polyphenols. This review focuses on the effects of different natural polyphenolic substances, especially resveratrol, quercetin, curcumin, and cherry extracts, and their ability to bind to polymeric nanoparticles, and summarizes the effects of polyphenol-loaded nanoparticles, mainly in the cardiovascular system.

Published: July 2020

Traditional synthetic techniques for silver nanoparticles synthesis involve toxic chemicals that are harmful to humans as well as the environment. The green chemistry method for nanoparticle synthesis is rapid, eco-friendly, and less toxic as compared to the traditional methods. In the present research, we synthesized silver nanoparticles employing a green chemistry approach from Parthenium hysterophorus leaf extract. The optimized parthenium silver nanoparticles (PrSNPs) had a mean particle size of 187.87 ± 4.89 nm with a narrow size distribution of 0.226 ± 0.009 and surface charge −34 ± 3.12 mV, respectively. The physicochemical characterization of optimized SNPs was done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis indicates the spherical shape of NPs with an average diameter of 20–25 nm. PrSNPs were investigated for in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, and showed excellent profiles. The cytotoxic activity was analyzed against two cancer cell lines, i.e., B16F10 and HepG2 for 24 h and 48 h. PrSNPs proved to be an excellent anticancer agent. These PrSNPs were also employed for the treatment of wastewater by monitoring the E. coli count, and it turned out to be reduced by 58%; hence these NPs could be used for disinfecting water. Hence, we can propose that PrSNPs could be a suitable candidate as an antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor agent for the treatment of several ailments.
Evaluating the Effect of Azole Antifungal Agents on the Stress Response and Nanomechanical Surface Properties of Ochrobactrum anthropi Aspcl2.2
Authors: Pacholak Amanda , Burlaga Natalia , Kaczorek Ewa
Published: July 2020

Azole antifungal molecules are broadly used as active ingredients in various products, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This promotes their release into the natural environment. The detailed mechanism of their influence on the biotic components of natural ecosystems remains unexplored. Our research aimed to examine the response of Ochrobactrum anthropi AspCl2.2 to the presence of four azole antifungal agents (clotrimazole, fluconazole, climbazole, epoxiconazole). The experiments performed include analysis of the cell metabolic activity, cell membrane permeability, total glutathione level and activity of glutathione S-transferases. These studies allowed for the evaluation of the cells’ oxidative stress response to the presence of azole antifungals. Moreover, changes in the nanomechanical surface properties, including adhesive and elastic features of the cells, were investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectrophotometric methods. The results indicate that the azoles promote bacterial oxidative stress. The strongest differences were noted for the cells cultivated with fluconazole. The least toxic effect has been attributed to climbazole. AFM observations unraveled molecular details of bacterial cell texture, structure and surface nanomechanical properties. Antifungals promote the nanoscale modification of the bacterial cell wall. The results presented provided a significant insight into the strategies used by environmental bacterial cells to survive exposures to toxic azole antifungal agents.

Authors: Stauffer Mirko , Hirschi Stephan , Ucurum Zöhre , Harder Daniel , Schlesinger Ramona , Fotiadis Dimitrios
Published: July 2020

The light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from the extreme halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum is a retinal-binding protein, which forms highly ordered and thermally stable 2D crystals in native membranes (termed purple membranes). BR and purple membranes (PMs) have been and are still being intensively studied by numerous researchers from different scientific disciplines. Furthermore, PMs are being successfully used in new, emerging technologies such as bioelectronics and bionanotechnology. Most published studies used the wild-type form of BR, because of the intrinsic difficulty to produce genetically modified versions in purple membranes homologously. However, modification and engineering is crucial for studies in basic research and, in particular, to tailor BR for specific applications in applied sciences. We present an extensive and detailed protocol ranging from the genetic modification and cultivation of H. salinarum to the isolation, and biochemical, biophysical and functional characterization of BR and purple membranes. Pitfalls and problems of the homologous expression of BR versions in H. salinarum are discussed and possible solutions presented. The protocol is intended to facilitate the access to genetically modified BR versions for researchers of different scientific disciplines, thus increasing the application of this versatile biomaterial.

Published: July 2020

Zygomatic implant rehabilitation is a challenging procedure that requires an accurate prosthetic and implant plan. The aim of this study was to evaluate the malar bone available for three-dimensional zygomatic implant placement on the possible trajectories exhibiting optimal occlusal emergence. After a preliminary analysis on 30 computed tomography (CT) scans of dentate patients to identify the ideal implant emergencies, we used 80 CT scans of edentulous patients to create two sagittal planes representing the possible trajectories of the anterior and posterior zygomatic implants. These planes were rotated clockwise on the ideal emergence points and three different hypothetical implant trajectories per zygoma were drawn for each slice. Then, the engageable malar bone and intra- and extra-sinus paths were measured. It was possible to identify the ideal implant emergences via anatomical landmarks with a high predictability. Significant differences were evident between males and females, between implants featuring anterior and those featuring posterior emergences, and between the different trajectories. The use of internal trajectories provided better bone engagement but required a higher intra-sinus path. A significant association was found between higher intra-sinus paths and lower crestal bone heights.

The objective of this project was to collect and analyze information about work systems and processes that community pharmacy-medical clinic partnerships used for implementing the Patient-Centered HIV Care Model (PCHCM). Paired collaborations of 10 Walgreens community pharmacies and 10 medical clinics were formed in 10 cities located throughout the United States that had relatively high HIV prevalence rates and existing Walgreens HIV Centers of Excellence. Patient service provision data and most significant change stories were collected from key informants at each of the clinic and pharmacy sites over an 8 week period in 2016 and through in-depth phone interviews. Written notes were reviewed by two authors (J.C.S. and O.W.G.) and analyzed using the most significant change technique. The findings showed that half of the partnerships (n = 5) were unable to fully engage in service implementation due to external factors or severe staff turnover during the project period. The other half of the partnerships (n = 5) were able to engage in service implementation, with the most impactful changes being related to strong patient care systems, having a point person at the clinic who served as a connector between sites, and having pharmacists integrated fully into the health care team.
Polymeric Carbon Nitride Armored Centimeter-Wide Organic Droplets in Water for All-Liquid Heterophase Emission Technology
Authors: Cao Qian , Kumru Baris
Published: July 2020

High potential of emission chemistry has been visualized in many fields, from sensors and imaging to displays. In general, conjugated polymers are the top rankers for such chemistry, despite the fact that they bring solubility problems, high expenses, toxicity and demanding synthesis. Metal-free polymeric semiconductor graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) has been an attractive candidate for visible light-induced photocatalysis, and its emission properties have been optimized and explored recently. Herein, we present modified g-CN nanoparticles as organodispersible conjugated polymer materials to be utilized in a heterophase emission systems. The injection of a g-CN organic dispersion in aqueous polymer solution not only provides retention of the shape by Pickering stabilization of g-CN, but high intensity emission is also obtained. The heterophase all-liquid emission display can be further modified by the addition of simple conjugated organic molecules to the initial g-CN dispersion, which provides a platform for multicolor emission. We believe that such shape-tailored and stabilized liquid–liquid multicolor emission systems are intriguing for sensing, displays and photonics.

Authors: Jiao Chaoqun , Zhang Zuoming , Zhao Zhibin , Zhang Xiumin
Published: July 2020

Recently, the press-pack insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) has usually been used in direct current (DC) transmission. The press-pack IGBT (PPI) adopts a parallel layout of boss chips, and the currents of each chip will be uneven in the process of turning on and off, which will affect the reliability of the device. To measure the currents of each chip, based on the analysis of the principle and equivalent model of the Rogowski coil, this paper puts forward the design scheme and design index of multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) Rogowski coil with good high-frequency performance, strong anti-interference ability and sufficient sensitivity. With the simulation analysis of Altium Designer and ANSYS softwares, a 1 mm thick, 76-turn integrated four-layer PCB Rogowski coil is designed. Then, adding a composite integrator, an integrated Rogowski coil sensor for measurement of PPI chips currents is designed. The Pspice simulation and the experiment results show that the sensor is fully satisfied with the chip current measurement.
Modeling County-Level Energy Demands for Commercial Buildings Due to Climate Variability with Prototype Building Simulations
Authors: Mendoza Daniel L. , Bianchi Carlo , Thomas Jermy , Ghaemi Zahra
Published: July 2020

The building sector accounts for nearly 40% of total primary energy consumption in the U.S. and E.U. and 20% of worldwide delivered energy consumption. Climate projections predict an increase of average annual temperatures between 1.1–5.4 °C by 2100. As urbanization is expected to continue increasing at a rapid pace, the energy consumption of buildings is likely to play a pivotal role in the overall energy budget. In this study, we used EnergyPlus building energy models to estimate the future energy demands of commercial buildings in Salt Lake County, Utah, USA, using locally-derived climate projections. We found significant variability in the energy demand profiles when simulating the study buildings under different climate scenarios, based on the energy standard the building was designed to meet, with reductions ranging from 10% to 60% in natural gas consumption for heating and increases ranging from 10% to 30% in electricity consumption for cooling. A case study, using projected 2040 building stock, showed a weighted average decrease in heating energy of 25% and an increase of 15% in cooling energy. We also found that building standards between ASHRAE 90.1-2004 and 90.1-2016 play a comparatively smaller role than variation in climate scenarios on the energy demand variability within building types. Our findings underscore the large range of potential future building energy consumption which depends on climatic conditions, as well as building types and standards.
Entre lo apolíneo y lo dionisíaco
Authors: Gil Gastón
Published: July 2020

En Argentina, la opción por correr como un estilo de vida se canaliza principalmente –aunque no de manera exclusiva– mediante los running teams. Como espacios clave de la sociabilidad de los corredores, estos grupos de entrenamiento se configuran además como transmisores de los principales preceptos éticos y estéticos del running. Allí, sus miembros tienen la posibilidad de construir sus diferentes criterios de autoadscripción identitaria y de transitar sus itinerarios como corredores. En este artículo se retoman dos categorías clásicas del pensamiento antropológico (las configuraciones emocionales apolínea y dionisíaca formuladas en la Escuela de Cultura y Personalidad) para utilizarlas como punto de partida para describir las características contrastantes de dos running teams en la ciudad de Mar del Plata.
Trabajo en común
Authors: Quirós Julieta
Published: July 2020

¿Qué es lo que la creatividad política de los pueblos del interior tiene para decirnos de las posibilidades de lo político? ¿Qué es lo que la creatividad económica de la gente tierra adentro tiene para decirnos de la naturaleza y posibilidades de lo económico? Las comisiones vecinales del interior cordobés trabajan. Despliegan incesantes flujos de energía colectiva orientados a (re)producir sus condiciones de existencia y mantener la vida andando. En ese camino, proponemos, ponen en práctica un modelo autóctono de economía política que asigna responsabilidades y derechos diferenciales a la gente y al municipio, a la Sociedad y al Estado local. Estas páginas exploran etnográficamente algunos eventos de esa economía política en su discurrir cotidiano; en particular, los modos en que una serie de procesos de (co)producción de riqueza habilitan la creación de “lo común” como experiencia y modalidad de relación entre personas y entre personas y cosas. Al igual que en otros lugares, en estos pueblos, soberanía económica y autonomía política se producen y traducen recíprocamente, como dos caras de una misma moneda.
No son los monstruos, es la violencia
Authors: Gaztañaga Julieta
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo busca contribuir al conocimiento antropológico de las maneras en que las personas se organizan colectivamente y producen vidas dignas en un contexto contemporáneo de crisis del capitalismo, puesta en jaque del Estado de bienestar y un desgaste paulatino del valor de la imaginación al servicio de proyectos políticos alternativos. A partir de mi etnografía con activistas que trabajan para instalar el derecho a decidir sobre el estatus político del pueblo vasco, examino sus acciones cotidianas preguntando qué ocurre cuándo las personas reflexionan y producen creativamente valores que informan la producción social de entramados de derechos ciudadanos que, como en este caso, cuestionan la letalidad inevitable del vínculo entre Estado-Nación y Capitalismo.
Perspectivas antropológicas sobre las formas de (ganarse la) vida
Authors: Fernández Álvarez María Inés , Perelman Mariano
Published: July 2020

La reflexión sobre las maneras en que las personas producen formas de garantizar aquello que consideran una vida digna ha cobrado relevancia en los estudios antropológicos, especialmente a la luz de las transformaciones del capitalismo contemporáneo de las últimas décadas. En el norte global, especialmente en Europa, esta reflexión tomó especial dinamismo con la crisis financiera de 2008, que puso en evidencia procesos de más largo aliento vinculados al desmantelamiento del estado de bienestar y las formas de precarización de la vida de amplios sectores de la población. La literatura antropológica buscó así elaborar categorías analíticas que permitieran abordar las formas en que las personas hacen frente a estos procesos.

Una de las reflexiones más sugerentes en esta dirección fue formulada por Susana Narotzky y Niko Besnier en un número especial de Current Anthropology publicado en el año 2014, cuya traducción al español abre este número temático de la Revista Cuadernos de Antropología Social. Allí, elaboran una propuesta programática que, sorteando los límites de los modelos abstractos, nos posibilita “repensar la economía” al colocar la mirada en las continuidades y transformaciones de los sistemas colectivos que permiten sostener la vida. Esto incluye, desde su perspectiva, las posibilidades y necesidades objetivas y subjetivas de las personas para proyectar su vida futura. Recuperan para ello contribuciones de la economía política, la economía moral y la economía feminista, y proponen en su articulación una perspectiva que apuesta a formular una teoría antropológica de la reproducción social en el capitalismo actual.
Narrativas activistas de jóvenes cordobeses. Experiencias de resistencia frente a la violencia policial
Authors: Roldán Macarena
Published: July 2020

Desde 2007 se realiza cada año en Córdoba, Argentina, la llamada Marcha de la Gorra, que convoca a miles de personas, sobre todo jóvenes, para manifestarse en contra de la violencia policial. La movilización denuncia en forma insistente el accionar discrecional, selectivo y abusivo de las fuerzas de seguridad, focalizado especialmente en jóvenes de sectores populares de la ciudad. El estudio tiene un doble propósito. Por un lado, conocer las vivencias de hostigamiento policial a las que se ven expuestos cotidianamente los jóvenes de sectores populares de Córdoba. Por otro, analizar las experiencias de organización y activismo juvenil enmarcadas en esta acción colectiva que ya cumple doce años de historia. Se trabajó con un enfoque cualitativo, apoyado en el registro etnográfico y la entrevista en profundidad, reuniendo un corpus empírico que cubre las últimas seis versiones de la Marcha (2014-2019).

Published: July 2020

Objective – This paper argues the retrospective effect of foreign investment inflow. The FDI not only causes economic growth in the nation also it vindicate the societal development in the host nation. It is assumed that FDI does affect societal development either directly or indirectly also it can be constructive or dubious.
Methodology – The societal development indicators have been taken for the study such as access to electricity, refugee population, and total natural resource on rent. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method used for regression analysis, Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) used to analyse stationarity and Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) used for empirical results.
Findings – The result shows the consistency in FDI inflows, but all the taken indicators have not experienced the positive effect of FDI on the societal development of a nation.
Novelty –Also, the policies of the government and initiative related to foreign investment inflow have major impact on societal growth in the nation.

ABOUT THE MANUSCRIPT “MATERIALS FOR A COMPARATIVE DICTIONARY...”
Authors: Ivshin Leonid Mikhaylovich
Published: July 2020

This article presents the results of the analysis of a handwritten dictionary stored in one of the archives of Kirov. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that for the development of issues of the history of the language (the emergence and development of writing) it is necessary to introduce materials from handwritten and published written monuments into scientific circulation as the most important sources that show a picture of the development of the language at a certain stage of its development. The manuscript dictionary contains a rather large list of Komi-Permyak and Udmurt vocabulary, moreover, in the Udmurt language, separately in Besermyan and Glazov dialects. The dictionary includes lexemes of the most diverse nature: the names of agricultural implements, housing, pets, animals, birds, flowers, trees, parts of the human body; words characterizing a person and his actions, kinship. The author of the manuscript is supposedly the statistics of the Vyatka Territory at the end of the 19th century P.M. Sorokin, who compiled the courtyard descriptions of a number of counties of the Vyatka province and at the same time collected ethnographic and linguistic material. In a handwritten dictionary of 1642 Russian words, 1336 are translated into the Komi-Permyak language, 1037 into the Glazov dialect, and 810 into the Besermyan dialect of the Udmurt language. From the graphic-orthographic features of the dictionary, the following are distinguished: 1) the designation of the annoying йӧ- by ѣ; 2) marking of Udmurt affricates with a single letter or digraphs; 3) transmission of the Udmurt dialect rear-row sound ъ (variant ы ) by various vowels of the Russian alphabet. Another important feature of the handwritten dictionary is the use of synonyms-dialectisms as one of the elements of the stylistic enrichment of the language.
WOOVER AS A CHARACTER OF MARI FOLK GAMES
Authors: Klyucheva Maria Arkadyevna
Published: July 2020

The article deals with the traditional Mari games like catch-up, blind man's buff, hide and seek in which the catcher is called woover ‘witch, ghoul’. The material of other genres of folklore, in which the eponymous character acts, is the context for the analysis of games. The complexity and diversity of the image of the woover is revealed, especially in fairy tales and mythological stories. This is a witch, Baba Yaga, a stepmother-villain, an old glutton, a sorcerer, the soul of a sorcerer, a ghoul, a werewolf, a dead wizard-cannibal, a predator, an enemy, an evil spirit, a devil, the spirit (mother) of water, a comet, a meteorite, fire serpent, many-headed serpent monster etc. Parallels are revealed to the image of the woover in the game folklore of the Turkic and Finno-Ugric peoples of the Ural-Volga region: wupăr in Chuvash, ubyr in Tatar and Bashkir, ubir in Udmurt. Mari and Chuvash game culture and mythology are especially close. They form a single folklore space with common terminological vocabulary (mainly Turkic). In particular, the Mari and Chuvash games, expressing the mythological motive of eating the moon by the woover, are almost identical. The image of woover in the folklore of the Mari and other peoples of the Ural-Volga region is understood as a local implementation of the pan-Eurasian metaconcept ubir - upyr - vampire .
VIII C. BC - II C. AD DISPERSION OF FINNO-PERMS IN MIDDLE KAMA RIVER REGION
Authors: Goldina Rimma Dmitrievna
Published: July 2020

In the II c. BC - II c. AD the south-eastern periphery of the Perm world (Sredneye Prikamye) was inhabited by ancestors of southern Udmurts who left monuments of the Tarasovo (former Cheganda, Pyany Bor) and Kara-Abyz cultures. They are represented by ancient fortified and non-fortified settlements, burial grounds, finds, and hoards. Both cultures are Ananyino-based (VIII-III c. BC, 204 monuments). It is known about 382 monuments of the Tarasovo culture, 258 out of them are located on the left bank, and 124 - on the right. The Kara-Abyz culture (IV c. BC - IV c. AD, 61 monuments) is two-component; it consists of the Ananyino and alien Gafuriyskaia cultures and is located on the left bank of the Belaya River middle reach: from the Bir River junction to the Usolka River junction. In the III - first half of the IV c. AD the Kara-Abyz people was assimilated with alien Ubalary-Imendiashevskii groups. By the turn of the II-III c. AD due to the contacts with forest-steppe and steppe tribes, the Perm population of the Tarasovo culture translocated to the Belaya right bank and Udmurt Prikamye remote areas.
ETHNOCULTURAL DIRECTIONS IN THE ACTIVITIES OF CULTURAL AND LEISURE INSTITUTIONS IN IZHEVSK (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE MUNICIPAL BUDGETARY INSTITUTION OF THE CULTURE HOUSE OF CULTURE “VOSTOCHNY”)
Authors: Kultasheva Olga Mikhaylovna , Nikitina Olga Nikolaevna
Published: July 2020

The article raises questions of a historical and cultural nature related to the activities of cultural and leisure institutions of the city of Izhevsk in the Udmurt Republic. One of the features of Udmurtia is its multi-ethnicity. More than 130 nationalities live in this republic. Modern trends connected with the construction of a common world space actualize the problem of preserving the ethno-cultural field, which is a unique example of folk culture. The main attention is paid to the history and main lines of activity of MBIC HC “Vostochny”, which is the Center for cultural services for the population of the “Vostochny” microdistrict of the Industrial District of Izhevsk. The House of Culture has been in existence since 1949. By the moment the House of Culture has created all the conditions for the development of the creative abilities of people of different ages, and the audience has a wide choice of different kinds of performances. One of the main directions of the “Vostochny” House of Culture is work in the field of development and preservation of ethnic traditions and culture. For several years effective cooperation has continued with the Izhevsk city branch of the All-Udmurt Association “Udmurt Kenesh” Interregional Public Organization. Together with this organization the “Vostochny” House of Culture organizes and holds some national festivals and cultural events dedicated to various state dates and public holidays. In the House of Culture one of the leading Udmurt amateur art group of the city of Izhevsk is based - Laureate of the Kuzeby Gerd Prize Folk Ensemble of the Udmurt song “Invozho”. Also within the walls of the “Vostochny” House of Culture another national group works - the Folk Ensemble of the Mari song “Osh Peledysh” (“White Flower”). This ensemble is an active participant in international events, where it acquaints the audience with their work filled with a special ethical flavor. Thus the activity to preserve ethnic traditions and popularization of folk culture is a very important area for many cultural and leisure institutions. Studying folklore and giving it different scenic forms makes it attractive to a wide audience of different ages. Despite many problems (primarily financial) folk groups search for new forms of studying ethnic material.
FOOD RATIONS FOR CHILDREN IN ORPHANAGES OF KARELIA IN THE 1920s AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE 1930s
Authors: Chebakovskaja A. V.
Published: July 2020

The article considers the issue of food provision to children in orphanages of Karelia in the 1920s and the first half of the 1930s. The problem of child nutrition was addressed in the official documents of the People’s Commissariat for Education of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialistic Republic as well as in the Soviet doctors’ works of recommendatory character. Instructors and doctors of the People’s Commissariat for Education and the People’s Commissariat for Health dealt with various nutrition issues for children in orphanages. They worked on daily food rations and healthy menus for children, measured the amount of useful nutrients needed, etc. The purpose of this article is to compare standards and the actual situation with rations for children in orphanages in the 1920s and the first half of the 1930s. The article was compiled using materials and documents provided by the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia, which helped to see not only the food standards approved by the Department of Welfare of the People’s Commissariat for Education, but also the actual provision of food to the child care facilities. Various issues of food provision to children in orphanages which were not entirely resolved stood out during the period of study.
TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE SOVIET ATOMIC PROJECT
Authors: Melnikova N. V.
Published: July 2020

Former “closed” topic, the Soviet atomic project evokes a strong research interest as a bright example of solving major scientific, technical and industrial problems within the command economy in the shortest possible time and with the most fruitful concentration of financial, material, technical and human resources. The specific personnel policy (including education) was one of the important components of the atomic project success. This study is devoted to the period from 1945 - the end of the 1950th when the system of training of specialists with higher education for the Soviet atomic project was taking shape. The institutionalization of the “atomic” education system around the country is considered for the first time in the historiography. Its formation is analyzed by the example of central and regional universities crucial for the project (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow and Leningrad State Universities, Ural Polytechnic Institute). The article reveals the difficulties and ways of recruiting students and lecturers, curriculum and courses development. Quantitative and qualitative data on the “atomic” students training are given in dynamics. The article raises the question about the significance of the “atomic” education system for the atomic project, domestic industry and Soviet higher school, as well as about the reasons for its effectiveness.
PARENTS OF ALEXANDER NEVSKY IN RUSSIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY AND GENEALOGY
Authors: Dolgov V. V.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the study of points of view on the origin of Prince Alexander Nevsky. The main attention is paid to the personality of the prince’s mother, one of the wives of Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodich. The contradictory data of sources do not make it possible to establish exactly which branch of the princely family the princess belonged to. According to one version, she was the daughter of Prince Mstislav Udatny. The famous Moscow historian V. A. Kuchkin gives interesting arguments in support of this version. However, there are other assumptions. A prominent expert in genealogy N.A. von Baumgarten considered the daughter of Ryazan Prince Igor Vsevolodovich to be Alexander's mother. The representative of the “alternative history” A. N. Nesterenko put forward his own version of the origin of Prince Alexander. An essential part of the work is devoted to a critical analysis of these assumptions. In addition, attention is paid to errors contained in large genealogical codes, for example, in a grandiose work on the genealogy of Prince P. V. Dolgorukov.

Authors: De Oliveira Thiago José Arruda , Dorner Stefan Hubertus , Shikida Pery Francisco Assis
Published: July 2020

Este artigo analisa a influência da agricultura familiar na região Nordeste sobre a ótica do desenvolvimento rural. Além disso, compara-se o seu desempenho com os resultados obtidos na região Sul. Para tanto, estratificaram-se os dados censitários do IBGE no ano de 2010 tendo como base a participação da agricultura familiar na produção agropecuária municipal. Em seguida, realizou-se uma análise referente ao desempenho em dimensões selecionadas e comparações com a região Sul. Os resultados apontam que o nível de produção, renda e a infraestruturas são as principais diferenças entre as regiões Sul e Nordeste. Com base nos dados analisados, não constataram-se evidências que sustentam a afirmação de que o desenvolvimento rural está atrelado à presença da agricultura familiar. Recomendam-se análises de dados mais detalhados para cenários microrregionais.

Published: July 2020

Este trabalho reporta a capacidade de adsorção de algumas argilas naturais. O principal objetivo foi avaliar sua possível aplicação na clarificação de óleos vegetais para consumo humano ou produção de biodiesel. As amostras foram coletadas nos municípios de Presidente Dutra, Barra do Corda e Codó, Estado do Maranhão. Os materiais foram caracterizados por difração de raios X (DRX), adsorção de N2 e n-butilamina. Os testes de clarificação foram realizados com óleo de babaçu e as medidas das cores do óleo foram obtidas empregando-se Tintometro Lovibond adotada pela indústria OLEAMA. As caracterizações revelaram que as argilas são caulinitas com diferentes propriedades texturais e acidez superficial. Os resultados dos testes de clarificado indicam que as argilas apresentam apreciável capacidade de adsorção e potencial para serem aproveitadas na clarificação de óleo vegetal para produção de biodiesel.Este trabalho reporta a capacidade de adsorção de algumas argilas naturais.

Published: July 2020

A alelopatia é o estudo que engloba as interferências que ocorrem entre plantas, pela liberação de substâncias químicas, podendo ser benéficas ou maléficas. O objetivo do trabalho realizado foi avaliar as possíveis influências do uso de extrato de frutos Crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst), sobre a germinação e desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de Trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) e Azevém (Lolium multiforum). O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório de Sementes da Faculdade Assis Gurgacz – FAG, em Cascavel PR. O delineamento experimental com blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 2X5 com 4 repetições. Para cada uma das repetições foram usados 25 sementes dispostas em caixas gerbox com 2 folhas de papel germitest umedecidas com 8 mL dos extratos  de crambe, obtidos pela trituração de frutos de crambe com água destilada, nas concentrações 0%, 2%,  4%, 6% e 8%. O experimento foi conduzido em câmara de germinação do tipo BOD com controle de temperatura a 20°C e 12 horas luz. Os parâmetros avaliados foram o índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), massa fresca e seca, comprimento médio de plântula e porcentagem de plântulas normais e anormais. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as medias ajustadas a regressão com o uso do programa Assistat. Pode-se concluir que o extrato de crambe teve influência alelopática positiva na cultura do trigo em comparação com o azevém, nos parâmetros germinação e plântulas normais; e conforme aumentaram-se as concentrações, houve uma diminuição no comprimento e massa fresca de plântula, e no IVG.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do uso da própolis sobre a presença de bactérias Gram-positivas e negativas no liquido ruminal de bovinos. O experimento foi conduzido utilizando cinco bovinos mestiços, distribuídos em delineamento quadrado latino 4x4 recebendo uma dieta base, suplementada com quatro tratamentos distintos: controle, LLOS B3+, LLOS C1+ e LLOS C1++, sendo os LLOS a base de própolis.  Foi coletado liquido ruminal de bovinos para a extração e amplificação do gene 16S rDNA das bactérias. Através da amplificação foi observada a presença de bactérias das espécies Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, Streptococcus bovis, Prevotella ruminicola, Eubacterium ruminantium e Anaerovibrio lipolytica. Os tratamentos controle e LLOS B3+ foram positivos para 50% das 30 amostras testadas. LLOS C1++ foi positivos para 40%, e o tratamento LLOS C1+ foi positivo para 63% das amostras testadas.  Pode-se concluir que os produtos utilizados como aditivos neste experimento podem influenciar na característica da flora ruminal, alterando a composição de suas bactérias, entretanto, os tratamentos a base de própolis não selecionaram apenas bactérias Gram-positivas, como sugerido nas literaturas.

Published: July 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma investigação numérica da transferência de calor por convecção natural no interior à camada limite laminar térmica e hidrodinâmica de uma placa plana vertical isotérmica e engastada. As equações de governo foram discretizadas pelo Método dos Volumes Finitos através do software ANSYS/FluentTM. Inicialmente, o trabalho visa comparar o resultado obtido na simulação numérica para diferentes refinos de malha com o modelo analítico disponível na literatura. Posteriormente, busca-se verificar como as condições de contorno e a espessura da placa influenciam no escoamento, na troca de calor e nos parametros adimensionais característicos para este tipo de escoamento. Os dados numéricos foram comparados com o modelo analítico disponível na literatura e apresentaram uma boa anuência no que diz respeito às variações nas condições de contorno. Observou-se que estas influenciam no campo de velocidade e, por conseguinte, na transferência de calor.

As plantas podem ser consideradas espécies ornamentais, uma vez que são utilizadas para promover o embelezamento do ambiente, diferindo das demais plantas, pelo florescimento, forma, coloração das folhas e aspecto gerais que são mais atrativos, gerando paisagens agradáveis e vislumbrastes. Este trabalho objetivou realizar um levantamento das espécies de plantas ornamentais ocorrentes no município de Aldeias Altas, MA. Para a coleta do material botânico ornamental foram realizadas expedições quinzenais no período de agosto a setembro de 2016, em casas, praças, jardins, parques e quintais. Todo o material coletado foi acondicionado em sacola plástica, etiquetado e encaminhado ao Laboratório de Biologia Vegetal do CESC-UEMA, para posterior herborização e confecção de exsicatas. Utilizou-se caderno de campo e máquina fotográfica para descrição das observações realizadas em campo. Foram registradas no município de Aldeias Altas, 58 espécimes de plantas ornamentais, dessas distribuídas em 40 espécies, 24 famílias e 33 gêneros. A utilização das árvores nativas no paisagismo urbano do município de Aldeias Altas foi considerada baixo, pois os resultados mostram que as plantas exóticas estão mais frequentes, assim colocando em risco a conservação da flora nativa. Assim verifica-se uma considerável riqueza de espécies tratando-se do potencial ornamental do município, mas que o cultivo de plantas nativas no paisagismo é baixo o que desfavorece a conservação da biodiversidade e valorização da flora regional.

O artigo apresenta a validação da metodologia sobre o posicionamento de peças durante o ensaio de salt spray. A metodologia a ser utilizada neste trabalho baseia-se no procedimento descrito na norma ASTM B117, a qual padroniza o ensaio de névoa salina. Segundo o professor e Engenheiro Químico Vicente Gentil,2006, ensaios de corrosão realizados em laboratório utilizam pequenos corpos de prova, que são realizados sob condições variadas e buscam avaliar a qualidade do tratamento superficial de peças com diversos tipos de proteção, através de sua inserção em atmosfera corrosiva, neste caso uma câmara contendo uma névoa de cloreto de sódio, já que testes executados sob condições ambientais naturais levariam um período muito maior para sofrerem os mesmos efeitos. Visto que ainda existem muitas dúvidas referentes ao ensaio, a validação da metodologia pode evitar custos desnecessários e aumentar a credibilidade da empresa que o realiza. O conteúdo apresentado é destinado a pessoas com interesse acadêmico, aos que tenham curiosidade sobre o assunto, mas principalmente empresas que realizam tal teste. É esperado que ao final do estudo, uma forma mais padronizada de posicionamento das peças durante o ensaio de salt spray possa ser sugerida com base nos experimentos efetuados, e assim possibilitar um número menor de peças reprovadas em indústrias, além daquelas a serem retrabalhadas ao receber novo tratamento superficial. Esperamos também reconhecer a correlação do ensaio de salt spray com exposições reais, a fim de menor taxa de reprovação de lotes.
