Authors: Pereira Neto Francisco Edmar , Lopes Jayane Mara Rosendo , Nunes João Batista Carvalho , Ferreira Filho Luciano Nery
Published: October 2023

Abstract It examines the quantitative expansion of stricto sensu graduate studies in the area of education in Brazil, based on the student dimension of its programs, considering their regional differences, type of course, and legal status. The quantitative approach and the documentary research method composed the methodological design of the investigation. The sample consisted of the total number of students in the course, admitted students, and graduated students in Graduate Programs in Education (GPEs), from 2004 to 2020. The data sets referring to the students were collected in the open data repository of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES, in Portuguese). Data analysis used descriptive statistics techniques, through the R language. There was an increase in the number of students in the courses, admitted students, and graduated students in GPEs in Brazil during the investigated period. The asymmetries, although still existing, were mitigated. The North and Northeast regions are still underrepresented. The participation of the private sector is still timid, if compared to the hegemony of the public sector, even when it comes to professional master’s degrees. In 2020 there was a decrease in all indicators, characterizing an inflection in the expansion process. These results are likely to contribute to support decision-making by managers and public policy makers.
AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO CALCULATE THE CRITICAL DEPTH IN A TRIANGULAR SHAPED-CHANNEL
Authors: Nebbar Mohammed Lakhdar
Published: October 2023

This paper focuses on a procedure for the dimensioning of the triangular-shaped channel at critical flow, which is important in the practice of the hydraulic engineer. The proposed approach, which explores the potential offered by heuristic methods for solving complex optimization problems, is based on the use of an analytical method that is presented and applied for the calculation of the critical depth yc, which is governed by a cubic equation with no second-order term. The resolution of this equation is essentially based on Cardan's theorem. This method takes into account, in particular, the effect of the absolute roughness ε, the effect of the kinematic viscosity ν through the Reynolds number Re, and the effect of the channel bed slope S through the friction factor f. These parameters are easily measurable in practice. In this research, we relied mainly on the application of two universally accepted relations of Darcy-Weisbach and the Colebrook formula in a state of critical flow. Explicit relations are deduced that govern the critical depth, yc, by a particular examination of two cases; one is a turbulent flow over a smooth surface and the other is a flow over a rough surface.

Published: October 2023

In order to analyze the interactions among various components of hybrid contra-rotating shaft pod (HCRSP) propulsor and effects of test devices, the model test of HCRSP propulsor was conducted in a cavitation tunnel. In the present study, the interactions among fore propeller, aft propeller, and the pod of HCRSP propulsor are analyzed with the influence of a long-axis dynamometer. It was found that the long-axis dynamometer shows great influence on the pod propulsor, which is made up of a pod and an aft propeller, but little influence on the fore propeller. Especially, under the condition of using a long-axis dynamometer or not, the difference of thrust coefficient and torque coefficient of the aft propeller with a high advance coefficient reached 10%. Also, the fore propeller could accelerate the flow of the pod propulsor. In detail, the pod and aft propeller show blocking and suction effects, respectively, and these impacts could cancel each other out within a certain range.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT AND ENTROPY GENERATION MINIMIZATION THROUGH STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION OF A DOUBLE-LAYER LIQUID-COOLED PLATE WITH CIRCULAR ARC-SHAPED FLOW CHANNELS
Authors: Liu Gui-Kang , Wang Jing , Chen Yong-Qiang , Shi Shou-Yu
Published: October 2023

Power batteries for new energy vehicles and other high-power electrical devices benefit greatly from liquid-cooled plates for thermal control. In the present work, a liquid-cooled plate with a double-layer arc-channel structure is developed to achieve a uniform temperature distribution on the surface of lithium-ion powered batteries and to reduce operating temperatures. Numerical simulations are employed to examine the flow properties and heat transfer capabilities of the plate. Subsequently, the model is validated experimentally. The structure of the liquid-cooled plate is optimized using a genetic algorithm. In the research, two methods for optimizing the structure of liquid-cooled plates have been proposed based on defining the fitness function of genetic algorithms. The first method uses a dimensionless number to represent the amount of pump power needed to allow the working fluid to absorb one joule of heat energy. The other method uses the entropy generation of the liquid-cooled plate as the fitness function of genetic algorithms. Genetic algorithms may be used to find the minimum dimensionless number and the minimal amount of entropy. The structural characteristics of the liquid-cooled plate may be obtained with the best energy efficiency and the least amount of entropy production using the dimensionless number minimization (DNM) and entropy generation (EGM) optimization techniques, respectively. The performance of the two optimization techniques is contrasted. The maximum temperature of the plate is reduced by 2.58 K and 0.14 K, and the standard deviation of the temperature is reduced by 0.685 K and 0.408 K after the optimization using the creatively established dimensionless number and the entropy generation minimization methods, respectively. The pump work required by the working fluid to absorb one joule of heat energy from the plate is reduced by 70.5% and 12.1%. At two distinct boundary conditions, the proposed liquid-cooled plate outperforms the plates with serpentine and parallel channels in terms of cooling performance or energy efficiency.

Application of Bayesian network and genetic algorithm in construction safety evaluation
Authors: Hu Hongju , Liao Youlin
Published: October 2023

Developing a safety evaluation model for construction is of utmost importance due to the increasing prevalence of safety issues on construction sites in a rapidly growing sector. Consequently, this research integrates a clonal genetic algorithm (CGA) and a Bayesian network (BN) into the current building information modelling technology for building construction to establish a comprehensive safety evaluation model for building construction. To develop a framework for assessing building safety, this study initially filters the factors impacting building safety through an advanced evolutionary algorithm. Subsequently, a BN is employed to understand the structure and parameters of the model. When compared with both a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model and a genetic-algorithm-optimised neural network model, the CGA–BPNN model shows a network training error of approximately 0.09%. Additionally, the target error value is observed to be around 0.02%, and the genetic cross-over probability of the CGA–BPNN model amounts to 0.6629. These results indicate the small algorithm error and appropriate training time of the model, as well as higher accuracy. The CGA–BPNN model filters the evaluation indexes in the BN and assigns appropriate weights to assess accurately the safety status of the construction project.
Application of fund analysis model to identify key factors in construction projects
Authors: Cai Xiaoqing , Kong Liang
Published: October 2023

This study constructs a funnel analysis model by collecting relevant data to achieve fault monitoring. Back-propagation (BP) neural networks are also used to identify structural damage in construction projects, and a genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimise BP to improve issues such as slow convergence and long time consumption. The results indicate that the difference between the third-order frequency and the first-order curvature mode is the most suitable indicator for damage warning and identification. The difference in the first-order curvature mode of adjacent measurement points of the damaged component increases with the increase in the degree of damage. Comparing the GA–BP neural network and BP neural network, the former has a smaller error in identification and better performance. The maximum and minimum relative errors of GA–BP in identifying the damage degree of the structure are 8.06 and 1.61%, respectively, meeting the accuracy requirements of the project. The identification of the key factors in construction projects based on the funnel analysis model is beneficial for identifying structural damage and ensuring the safety of engineering projects.
The viability of cooperative societies from the anarchist- cybernetics perspective: a systematic review of the field and research opportunities
Authors: Osejo-Bucheli Camilo
Published: October 2023

Introduction: This article is part of an ongoing research project that started in 2022 and investigates the viability of cooperative associations from an anarchist-cybernetics perspective at the Universidad del Valle, Department of Administrative Sciences. Problem: Management Cybernetics and anarchism are fields with significant coincidences regarding organisational theory. From the point of view of anarchism, voluntary organisation is a form of exercising individualfreedom, while in cybernetics, autonomy is the desirable state of organisation. Objective: The article aims to identify the current state of academic development in the field of anarchist-cybenetics, specifically around the concepts of “autogestión”, “self-management” and “self-control”. Methodology: The article proposes a systematic literature review of the last 10 years in nine academic datbases. Results: The field presents research on radical political groups but lacks research on voluntary organisations such as cooperatives. The predominant research methods used are qualitative for empirical research, and non-empirical research is relevant in this field. Latin America and the developing economies are interesting fields for future development. Case studies and the historical method are relevant for the study of anarchy, and Beer ́s VSM is the most used tool for cybernetics in this field. Conclusion: The field appears to be of great interest for various multi-decade old journals. Originality: This is one of the few research projects to link the organisational side of anarchism and management cybernetics. Anarchist-cybernetics is a novel subject after almost 60 years of not having any academic publications. Limitations: As a novel subject, not many publications fit the requirements for the review.
Cultural Heritage at Conisbrough Castle: Expanding Resident Narratives, Public Education, and Aspects of Medieval Domestic Life for a Diverse Audience
Authors: Tuttle Emily Michelle
Published: October 2023

English Heritage Trust (EH) prides itself on communicating the histories of its sites through playful forms of engagement. In the recent scholarship of EH heritage managers David Sheldon (2011), Joe Savage, and William Wyeth (2020), new forms of creating play and providing site histories are considered alongside the challenges of updating signage and activities to meet visitor expectations. Expanding castle narratives beyond the Norman origins, increasing representations of women and lesser-known historic figures, and addressing the domestic function of castles are a priority for Sheldon, Wyeth, and Savage as they create case-by-case programs for their many properties. This paper considers what pedagogical methodologies are utilized at EH’s Conisbrough Castle, the selected story for presentation and why, and what display methods can be expanded to add to the visitor understanding of Conisbrough’s longer story through the Middle Ages. Using a mix of display boards, video, and text-based signage, managers at Conisbrough recall the de Warenne family narrative and recognize the Conisbrough keep’s domestic function. This is a successful recollection of this one resident’s story, however, only featuring this narrative limits Consibrough’s history to the Norman period. As EH seeks to grow their castle histories, I propose creating new engagements through the current display media that emphasize the importance of multiple tenant stories across time in castle spaces. Increased opportunities to relate to the past and retain information through play will assist visitors as they come to recognize the home as witness to both domestic activity and those events that occurred on the world stage.

Published: October 2023

Within creation of the mathematical model to describe the human respiratory system, we accomplished numeric investigation of non-stationary dust-containing airflow as well as dust particle deposition in the lower airways with the real anatomic geometry based on CT scans. Inhaled air is considered a multi-phase mixture of a homogenous gas and solid dust particles. Motion of a basic carrier gas phase is described using the Euler approach. Solid dust particles are a dispersed carried phase, which is described with the Lagrange approach. The k-ω model is used to describe turbulence. We consider non-stationary airflow during calm inhalation. The article presents calculated flow streamlines for the velocity of particles in inhaled air in the lower airways at different moments. We quantified a share of deposited particles (SDP) with various dispersed structure (between 10 nm and 100 µm) and density (1000 kg/m3, 2000 kg/m3, 2700 kg/m3) in the lower airways; the article provides computed motion paths of particulate matter. Solid particle deposition in the airways has different efficiency depending on particle sizes and density. SDP goes down as their sizes and masses decrease. Particle density mostly influences differences in deposition of micro-sized particles (2.5–20 µm): as particle mass and density grow, SDP in the airways also increases. SDP with their diameter being less than 1 µm amounts to approximately 20 % of all the particles that reach the inlet to the trachea. According to the results obtained by numeric modeling, the greatest share of dust particles penetrates the right main bronchus, predominantly the right middle and inferior lobar bronchi. Dust particles are able to induce diseases of the lungs, pneumoconiosis included.

The contribution of bioorganic components in the deformation behavior of a rock-like biocomposite human tooth enamel is discussed. Uniaxial compression testing and Brazilian testing (diametral compression) in liquid nitrogen (77 K) and in air at room temperature were carried out on the samples cut from human tooth enamel. It was compared with deformation behavior of some rocks (granite, serpentinite, and jasper) and plasma-sprayed Al2O3 under compression and Brazilian testing in air at room temperature. It was shown that enamel and the rocks exhibit the viscoelastic-like deformation behavior under compression, whereas their macroscopic response becomes brittle under tensile stress. Fracture surface morphology was attested as brittle in all model materials, although cracks in them all advance by the viscoelastic-like manner as a crack in a ductile metal. The contribution of viscoelastic bioorganic component in deformation behavior of enamel is detected at room temperature only because bioorganic component leaves the viscoelasticity at low temperatures. However, this contribution does not lead to changing the character of deformation behavior of the rock-like biocomposite in comparison with these rocks.

The cracking of some rocks, namely granite, serpentinite and sandstone under tensile stress is examined in details. Brazilian testing or diametral compression, three points bending and explosion testing are used as the loading schemes in air at room temperature. Morphology of cracks in the model rocks are compared with cracks in silicon crystals, as the standard of a brittle crack, with cleavage cracks in iridium single crystals and with cracks in gallium-covered aluminum single crystals. The comparison of cracks between themselves has shown that there is additional channel for stress accommodation in the model rocks. This channel does not lead to transformation of a rock into a macroscopically ductile material, but it causes the arrest of the dangerous crack in it under tensile stress. Its influence causes transition from the brittle crack to the pore-like crack on the microscopic scale. The most probable mechanism of this transition is the dislocation emission from crack, which becomes possible in such a natural covalent solid as a rock due to Rehbinder's effect.

Published: October 2023

Spinal stenosis is a pathological narrowing of the central spinal canal, lateral pocket, or intervertebral foramen due to age‑related changes, including pathology of the discs, facet joints, ligament hypertrophy, osteophyte formation and destruction of the arches. Clinically, the disease can manifest itself with pain, as well as numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. The complexity of differential diagnosis is due to the lack of correlation between the degree of stenosis according to neuroimaging data and the severity of clinical manifestations. Spinal stenosis among 21 % of people may have an asymptomatic course.

Spinal stenosis has to be differentiated from atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities, rheumatoid arthritis, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliitis, spondylitis/spondylodiscitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain–Barré syndrome and other polyneuropathies. Isolated weakness should be of a particular concern in the clinical picture. Muscle hypotrophy, brisk tendon reflexes, the presence of pyramidal signs, muscle fasciculations, as well as patients’ complaints of simultaneous weakness in both the upper and lower extremities accompany them.

We present and discuss three clinical cases of patients with a presumptive diagnosis of spinal stenosis. Two of them were held surgical treatment, which did not produce the expected result. Subsequently, it was found that the cause of progressive muscle weakness in the limbs was amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in two patients and the third one had Guillain–Barré syndrome, a form of acute demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Morphogenetic characteristics of glial tumors in adults per the WHO classifications of 2007, 2016, 2021. Changes in the classifications and their significance for clinical practice
Authors: Krylov V. V. , Evzikov G. Yu. , Kobyakov G. L.
Published: October 2023

The presented lecture is dedicated to analysis of morphogenetic characteristics of glial tumors in adults in the framework of the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications of 2007, 2016, 2021, changes in the classifications and their significance for clinical practice. This topic is important because the most difficult changes for neurosurgeons to understand in comparison of the WHO classifications of 2007, 2016 and 2021 involved sections on glial tumors and children’s tumors.

The authors focus on increasing practical significance of genetic component in tumor characterization. The classification of 2007 was the last purely morphological classification of central nervous system tumors, it did not include genetic principles of tumor division in different groups. In the following years, knowledge on the significance of various mutations for prognosis of glial tumor progression and selection of optimal treatment based in genetic characteristics of the neoplasm has been actively accumulated. In the 2016 edition, morphological and genetic tumor characteristics were consolidated for the first time which was unquestionably a necessary step. Complex integrative analysis of glioma genomes has shown that genetic characteristics have higher prognostic value compared to the WHO Grade. In the classification of 2021, names of the tumors proposed in 2016 were changed, and practical significance of the genetic component in tumor characterization was increased. However, this can further complicate interpretation of histological diagnosis by practicing neurosurgeons.

Implementation of the 2021 WHO classification in clinical practice assumes expansion of the spectrum of genetic diagnostic methods. The neurosurgical community should be ready to interpret morphogenetic results and select treatment tactics in tandem with oncologists based on genetic characteristics of the tumor.

Published: October 2023

The paper presents theoretical and methodological grounds that enhance the development of updated priorities and content characteristics of socialization of younger students. Problems and risky situations of social formation of growing subjects have been identified. The analysis of the main regulatory documents is presented, which makes it possible to actualize the significance of updating the content of the socialization process of younger students. Updated priorities have been identified (moral dignity, subjectivity, facilitation, social partnership, online and offline information-centralization) and the relevant content characteristics of the socialization of younger students: a) value and normative orientation in the system of public relations (active and conscious introduction of students to the norms and attitudes of society, as well as to traditional Russian spiritual and moral values); b) activating the subject position of students in the context of expanding the field of their self-realization, self-affirmation and social success (teaching new models of constructive interaction with other people, forming tolerance and the ability to live in a multinational and multicultural environment); c) socio-psychological protection of students in terms of priority of humane pedagogical influence, competent and safe in relation to all participants in educational relations; d) social integration of the possibilities of the education system and the family in the social formation of students (fruitful organization of cooperation between all participants in educational relations as allies and like-minded people in order to achieve a high level of socialization of younger students); e) information awareness and realistic assessment by online students of risks and ways of their timely minimization in the modern world (expanding the range of knowledge about the risk situations that students face in the digital world, forming skills to competently counter destructive online influences).

Authors: Nazarova Natalia V. , Grigorieva Viktoria G.
Published: October 2023

The paper is devoted to the application of dramatization technology in foreign language teaching in order to develop general cultural, spiritual and moral value orientations among students. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of the use of dramatization technology as a means of developing students' value orientations in the process of learning a foreign language. To study the methods of this pedagogical technology, a review and analysis of psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature was conducted followed by a brief survey among foreign language teachers and students of the Theater Faculty of the Samara Institute of Culture. The results of the survey were used to clarify the most significant cultural values among the interviewees, as well as to determine the interest of the Theater Faculty students in the use of dramatization techniques during the study of a foreign language. To confirm the hypothesis and further practical implementation of the conclusions, a theatrical project "Gallop across Europe. From Aeschylus to Brecht", which involved the 2 year students of the Theater Faculty, was staged. The material for the dramatic production was excerpts from five works of classical foreign literature, which most fully reflected the purpose of the study. It was concluded that the didactic potential of dramatization technology is not limited exclusively to the development of language skills, but can be effectively used for formation of students' value orientations.
PROBLEMATIC ISSUES OF CRIMINALIZATION OF AIDING AND ABETTING THE AGGRESSOR STATE (ARTICLE 111–2 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE)
Authors:   National Academy of Security Service of Ukraine, Shlapachenko V. M.
Published: October 2023

The article examines the problematic issues that arose as a result of the addition of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Art. 111–2, ways of eliminating the identified shortcomings are being investigated. Not recognizing criminalized in Art. 111–2 of the Criminal Code acts neither by treason nor by collaborative activity, but by creating a new concept – «assistance to the aggressor state», and without offering distinguishing features at the same time, the legislator additionally complicates the qualification of forms of cooperation with the aggressor and increases uncertainty in the already imperfect conceptual the apparatus of crimes against the foundations of national security of Ukraine. Analysis of the disposition of Art. 111–2 and the existing norms of the Criminal Code of Ukraine before its adoption indicate that the existing criminal offenses already contained grounds for bringing the guilty person to criminal responsibility for various forms of cooperation (aid, abetment) with representatives of the aggressor state, illegal authorities created on temporarily occupied territory, including by the occupation administration of the aggressor state, and therefore there was no need for its acceptance at all. The current situation does not contribute to the clarity of the criminal-legal assessment of the actions of persons who provide assistance (contribute) to the aggressor state, inhibits the pre-trial investigation, and in addition, taking into account the corruption risks created by the normative «backlash», opens wide opportunities for the arbitrary qualification of some and the same actions of the suspects ranging from a criminal misdemeanor to a particularly serious crime. Based on the above, as well as taking into account the practical identity of the concepts «collaborative activity» and «assistance to the aggressor state», we support the proposal to exclude Art. 111–2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as it provides for collaborative activity in its separate forms, which are already defined in Art. 111–1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and its separate provisions to be included in the text of Art. 111–1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine] with the corresponding differentiation of punishment.

Published: October 2023

The article considers the issue of foreign experience of other countries in legalizing the gambling business and substantiates the need to take it into account in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to study the foreign experience of legalizing the gambling business and to substantiate the most successful examples for Ukraine regarding the organization of the state model of the organization and conduct of gambling. During the research the author used the dialectical method of cognition of the phenomena of objective reality, general scientific research methods – theoretical logical methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy), empirical (experiment, observation, description) and special legal methods – formal-logical, comparative law, structural-organizational and structural-functional, historical. In the process of research, the author notes that in the world there are three main models of state regulation of gambling: the prohibition of gambling; permission to conduct gambling without restrictions, but the establishment of certain qualification, organizational, financial and other requirements; state monopoly on the organization and conduct of gambling. It is concluded that the most successful model for Ukraine is the state monopoly on gambling, which will be implemented by limiting the maximum number of gambling establishments by allowing them to be placed only in five-star hotels.

Authors: Stepashkina V.A. , Suleymanova N.R.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. This article describes the mutual influence of the phenomena of psychological assumptions, early maladaptive schemas (EMS), traumatic experience. The significance of this study is based to the need for psychologists to carry out practical work with the complexity and severity of the consequences of a person’s traumatic experience, specifics of beliefs and EMS. Purpose: To study psychological assumptions and EMS, which are formed from childhood and increase the impact on the personality in connection with the traumatic experience reducing the adaptive capacity of the individual. Methods. The article presents the results of a study of 45 people: females (31 participants) and males (14 participants), at the age 24–40 years old (M = 33,9; SD = 5). The specificity of the manifestation of differences in psychological assumptions and EMS in individuals with high and low rates of trauma is described. The following methods were used: the questionnaire of traumatic situations (Life Experience Questionnaire – LEQ), an adaptation of the WAS (World Assumptions Scale), the questionnaire for an adapted version of determining early maladaptive schemes by Jeffrey E. Young. Results and conclusions. Differences in groups with high and low rates of traumatism were identified: the individuals who survived a traumatic experience are characterized by a higher level of EMS «Abandonment/Instability», «Social Isolation», «Vulnerability» and «Negativity/Pessimism»; persons with a low level of traumatism are characterized by the manifestation of conviction in the «goodwill of the world». A relationship was found between the image of the «Self», the basic belief about luck, a high level of trauma and EMS in people who had a traumatic experience.

Published: October 2023

Relevance. Domestic violence is becoming an increasingly relevant problem in our time. Despite the removal of taboo, this problem still remains understudied, especially in the context of phenomenology. The study considers different approaches to the problem of abusive relationships, types of violence, as well as constructs such as experience (F.E. Vasilyuk) and relationships (V.N. Myasishchev). Purpose of the study. This article presents the materials of the study, which aims to describe the peculiarities of a personality's experience of domestic violence. The study involved 108 people, among whom there were 79 women and 29 men (the average age of respondents was 30 years). Methods. Results were based on an online questionnaire and the Measurement of Maladaptive Guilt Questionnaire, as well as an in–depth phenomenological interview with female survivors of domestic violence. Data were processed using frequency, comparative (U–Mann–Whitney test) and correlation analysis, and factor analysis (principal component method). Results. It was found that the reliving of this experience in the respondents is presented on 3 levels of attitudes, and consequences such as loss of self and increased existential guilt were noted. Conclusions. The findings of the study indicate the potential for the application of phenomenology in psychotherapy with survivors of domestic violence.
origem do mal
Authors: Souza João Vitor de Paula
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as desestabilizações do gênero policial clássico em O sorriso da hiena, obra policial brasileira contemporânea, publicada por Gustavo Ávila em 2017, de modo a evidenciar caracterizações das personagens que compõem a configuração esperada da tríade policial clássica: detetive-criminoso-vítima. Dessa maneira, a fundamentação teórica parte de textos que discutem o gênero policial, desde sua gênese até atualizações desse tipo de narrativa, especialmente no que diz respeito à tríade mencionada, como França & Sasse (2016), Leidens (2019), Marques (2016), Massi (2011), Oliveira (2016), e Todorov (2006). Assim, a partir da análise interpretativa dos trechos do romance, foram tecidos apontamentos que evidenciam como as personagens da narrativa são descritas e como se relacionam no transcorrer da obra, levando à sua reconfiguração. Os resultados indicam, portanto, que os componentes da tríade policial clássica não são categorias rígidas ou estanques, mas antes, elementos bastante flexíveis e adaptáveis a diferentes épocas, culturas e obras. Desse modo, ilustra-se uma desestabilização, ainda que parcial, do gênero policial clássico, tendo em vista que a obra de Ávila apresenta caracterizações e relações entre as personagens que podem ser descritas como inovadoras e, nesse sentido, possibilitam reflexões não esperadas ou não observadas em obras clássicas, o que testemunha a inventividade do gênero policial, sempre propício a algum tipo de evolução, tanto no nível formal como no temático.

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive optical neuroimaging technique that measures changes in the concentration of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the outer cortex of the brain. By detecting these changes, fNIRS provides a measure of neural activity associated with motor, emotional, perceptual, and cognitive brain processes. Recent advancements in system-on-a-chip optics have miniaturized ultrafast optical detectors and time-domain (TD)-fNIRS systems which capture the time-of-flight distribution of photons. The first wearable TD-fNIRS system featuring a high-density sensor array in a mobile headset form factor is Kernel Flow (Kernel Inc., Los Angeles, CA). The overall aim of this project was to evaluate the functional neuroimaging capabilities of this system through an investigation into the neural correlates of cognitive function. A comprehensive study was designed with five cognitive tasks that elicit well-characterized responses across various brain regions. These tasks probe several domains of cognition including problem solving, working memory, attention, response inhibition, and language. Healthy participants (n=15) volunteered for this study and completed these tasks while their brain activity and physiological responses were measured with the Kernel Flow system and a smart watch. The results agree with previous investigations of these cognitive tasks and domains of cognition. Significant increases in neural activity were primarily found in the prefrontal cortex when participants were performing problem solving, working memory, and response inhibition functions. The right inferior frontal gyrus in particular, well known for its role in attentional control, was active across tasks that required focused attention. Responses were also elicited in temporal cortices and occipital visual association areas in several tasks. Additional TD-fNIRS signal features and whole-head measurement provide opportunities for further investigations and potentially identify better characterization of brain processes. As the first cognitive study to use this system, it sets a foundation for the use of this technology in explorations of human cognition.

Cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction are two leading causes of morbidity and mortality in individuals with high-level spinal cord injuries (SCI). Sympathetic hyperreflexia is closely associated with peripheral immune dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. The neuroimmune system is known to modulate intraspinal plasticity within the spinal sympathetic reflex (SSR) circuit that leads to sympathetic hyperreflexia. Interestingly, there is persistent activation of NF-kB, a transcription factor complex that is activated by multiple cytokines, well below the SCI. We hypothesize that activation of NF-kB after SCI contributes to driving SSR circuit plasticity that results in the development of sympathetic hyperreflexia and associated autonomic dysreflexia. We further hypothesize that NF-kB signaling in microglia modulates their activation and polarization that contributes to heightened inflammation within the SSR circuit after SCI. To test this, we continuously and intrathecally delivered the NF-kB inhibitor DMAPT or vehicle immediately after a complete transection at thoracic spinal segment 3 in adult rats. Hemodynamic activity was recorded weekly to assess AD development for 12 weeks. Histological analyses of intraspinal plasticity in these animals further examines the role of NF-kB in driving sympathetic dysfunction and expression of microglia following SCI. We also assessed whether inhibition of NF-kB signaling in microglia modulates the quantity and polarization state of these CNS-resident immune cells at one-week and four-weeks post-SCI and whether this affects peripheral immune activity after SCI. We conditionally deleted the NF-kB activator Ikkb in Tmem119+ microglia in mice one week prior to a complete SCI. One or four weeks later, thoracolumbar spinal cords were isolated and processed for flow cytometry and/or RT-qPCR to assess how deletion of Ikkb in microglia affects microglial polarization and inflammatory activity after injury. The findings presented will demonstrate the critical role of NF-kB signaling in driving sympathetic hyperreflexia and associated development of autonomic dysreflexia as well as microglial signaling and inflammation after high-level SCI. Moreover, this research highlights novel cellular and pharmacological approaches to attenuate sympathetic dysregulation after SCI.

Research aims: The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between innovation orientation (IO) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and its role in mediating marketing orientation (MO) to achieve marketing performance (MP), specifically focusing on MSMEs in the culinary sector in Banyumas, Purbalingga, Cilacap, and Kebumen (Barlingmascakeb).Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected from 100 food industry businesses in Barlingmascakeb. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used utilizing Smart PLS to analyze data.Research findings: The results demonstrated that innovation orientation had a positive effect on entrepreneurial orientation and marketing performance. EO, which mediated the relationship between IO and MP, acted as a partial mediator. RBV is still a relevant theory for MSMEs, where organizational resources are assets that need to be managed and become superior to expand in a dynamic market. The research findings also support the MBV theory, where the market is a necessary factor to be considered by MSMEs in business and entrepreneurial decision-making. RBV and MBV actually complement each other and have an important role in influencing marketing performance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the management study literature, which has built an empirical model that encourages MSME marketing performance by investigating the relationship between IO, EO, and MO to support MSME marketing performance.Practitioners/Policy Implications: This study provides insight into culinary MSME entrepreneurs to focus on innovation orientation and not ignore market orientation as a supporter of innovation and marketing performance.Research Limitations/Implications: This research only focused on MSMEs in the culinary sector, so generalizations and findings were limited. Therefore, future studies are expected to combine larger and more diverse samples.
DOĞU KARADENİZ BÖLGESİNDE BİR SINIR HATTI: AĞASAR (AKHİSAR) VADİSİ
Authors: KIRAN Hava
Published: October 2023

1071 Malazgirt Zaferinden sonra Anadolu’nun diğer bölgeleri gibi Doğu Karadeniz de akın akın Türkmen akınlarına maruz kalmıştır. Anadolu’da Moğol istilasının yaşandığı XIII. yüzyılda ise Türkiye Selçuklularının güç kaybetmesi ile Doğu Karadeniz’in Türkleşme sürecinin konar-göçer Türkmen akınları ve göçleriyle devam ettiğini görmekteyiz. XIII. yüzyılın son çeyreğinden itibaren Rumlara karşı yürüttüğü mücadelelerle kendinden söz ettiren Çepniler, adım adım Doğu Karadeniz Dağlarını ve vadilerini ele geçirerek XIV. yüzyılda Ağasar Vadisi’nin güneyinde yükselen yaylalık alanlarda varlığını hissettirmeye başlamıştır. XIV. yüzyılın özellikle ikinci yarısından itibaren Ağasar Vadisi, Rumlarla Çepniler arasında bir tampon bölge haline gelmişti ve vadinin batı yamacındaki dağlar ile vadi bitimindeki yaylalık alanlar Çepnilerin hâkimiyet sahasının en doğu ucunu oluşturuyordu. Bu çalışmada, Ağasar Vadisi’ni çevreleyen dağlık, yaylalık alanlardaki yoğun Çepni-Türkmen faaliyetleri sonucunda Ağasar Vadisi’nin adeta bir sınır hattına dönüşme süreci üzerinde durulacaktır.
