Le basi valoriali e organizzative dell'impegno pubblico e sociale degli accademici italiani
Authors: A. Ceravolo Flavio , Rostan Michele
Published: September 2021

A seguito delle riforme dei sistemi di istruzione superiore realizzate negli ultimi decenni nei paesi europei, le università sono state incoraggiate ad aprirsi al contesto socio-economico e a impegnarsi maggiormente in quella che è stata chiamata la loro "terza missione" sia nella sua dimensione economica sia in quella dell'impegno pubblico e sociale. Basandosi sui dati raccolti intervistando un campione di più di cinquemila accademici italiani, l'articolo mostra quanto sia ampia l'adesione alla richiesta di maggiore apertura dell'università verso la società e l'economia, quanto siano condivise le finalità economiche e sociali della terza missione a livello individuale e di dipartimento, quanto sia intenso l'impegno degli accademici nelle attività di public engagement e se tale impegno poggi o meno su due basi distinte, una di tipo valoriale e una di tipo organizzativo.

Las interfaces cerebro-computadora (BCI) son sistemas que interpretan patrones de actividad cerebral para facilitar a personas con discapacidad motora o del habla, la comunicación o el control de dispositivos. Una forma de comunicación exitosa han sido los deletreadores basados en potenciales evocados de estado estable (SSVEP por sus siglas en inglés) que parten de la generación de estímulos visuales para provocar determinada actividad cerebral, registrarla e interpretarla mediante algoritmos de clasificación. Dentro de estos sistemas falta realizar un análisis para determinar un clasificador que tenga una relación tiempo de procesamiento y desempeño eficientes para aplicaciones en entornos controlados. En este trabajo se parte de la generación y registro de señales SSVEP, para realizar un análisis de desempeño de los clasificadores de árbol simple ST, y de máquinas de vectores de soporte SVM, los cuales son algoritmos de baja complejidad computacional encontrados en los métodos de análisis de SSVEP. De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos, el porcentaje promedio de acierto del ST para una señal de 10 s fue de 84.58% para el canal O1 y un 78.75% para el O2; mientras que el del SVM fue 78.33%.

Published: September 2021

Los videojuegos multijugador han existido desde la década de los setenta, pero no es hasta mediados de los noventa, con la evolución de las redes que permiten la comunicación desde cualquier parte del mundo, que adquieren la característica de jugarse en línea, dándole otra dimensión humana al juego ya que se requiere una manera de comunicarse para formular estrategias o simplemente para platicar mientras se juega. La comunicación se puede realizar vía voz o texto a través de una interfaz, y a lo largo del juego se pueden tener conversaciones que van desde las casuales, que tienen que ver con aspectos generales del juego, hasta las agresivas, que incluyen insultos a los demás jugadores. En este artículo se muestran los resultados de aplicar el análisis de sentimientos a 75 conversaciones extraídas de partidas de los videojuegos League of Legends, Overwatch y Heroes of the Storm, 25 están en idioma español, y 50 en inglés; las conversaciones son de longitud variable, la más extensa contiene 440 palabras, mientras que la más pequeña contiene solo 50 palabras. Utilizando Semantría para Excel, un API del software Lexalytics, se creó un diccionario que pudiera ser utilizado para la clasificación de las conversaciones. Las clases se definieron como positivas, negativas o neutrales. Comparando el resultado con la clase dada por el experto, 47 de 75 conversaciones fueron clasificadas correctamente, dando un 62.6% de certeza a la clasificación, en búsqueda de aumentar la certeza de la clasificación se hizo uso de el algoritmo C4.5, en el cual los resultados mostraron el entorno de los implicados en las conversaciones, la certeza se considera podría mejorarse al incluir más conversaciones y un mejor balance en las clases.

Los algoritmos de clasificación basada en la similitud entre textos, es un tópico de gran interés lo que es motivado por la relevancia y complejidad que presenta esta problemática y la gran cantidad de ámbitos que requieren de sistemas automatizados para resolverla. Por mencionar algunos ejemplos, se requiere de aplicaciones capaces de determinar de manera automática la sensibilidad de la información textual almacenada en archivos para decidir el grado de protección o diferenciar datos sensibles de aquellos que no lo son para prevenir o detectar su fuga o accesos no autorizados. Esto puede ser establecido con base en la importancia de su contenido. Así, una forma de abordar el problema es desde la perspectiva de la clasificación de textos con base en contexto. Para ello, es necesario desarrollar algoritmos que consideren la semántica de los documentos desde el momento que se generan y obtener su clasificación mediante un conjunto de características que incluyan rasgos textuales. En este trabajo, se definen los rasgos textuales y la relación semántica entre rasgos textuales. Considerando que un texto es la concatenación de rasgos textuales, la relación semántica de los rasgos textuales permite determinar su grado de pertenencia a un tema. Para la clasificación de textos, se aplican las etapas del modelo de algoritmos de votación desarrollados bajo el Reconocimiento Lógico Combinatorio de Patrones.

En varios países, especialmente Estados Unidos y miembros de la Unión Europea, ya se cuenta con herramientas para detectar billetes y sus denominaciones a través de aplicaciones móvil. En esta investigación se busca el desarrollo de una herramienta capaz de reconocer y clasificar los billetes mexicanos actualmente en circulación, a través de una aplicación móvil capaz de tomar fotografías o seleccionar imágenes existentes para la detección, usando una red neuronal entrenada para lograr nuestro objetivo: una detección y clasificación de billetes que sea eficiente en al menos el 90% de los casos.
Body exposure, its forms of delivery and potentially associated working mechanisms: How to move the field forward
Authors: Hartmann Andrea S. , Naumann Eva , Vocks Silja , Svaldi Jennifer , Werthmann Jessica
Published: September 2021

Background

Body image disturbance (BID) is a hallmark feature of eating disorders (EDs) and has proven to be involved in their etiology and maintenance. Therefore, the targeting of BID in treatment is crucial, and has been incorporated in various treatment manuals. One of the most common techniques in the treatment of BID is body exposure (BE), the confrontation with one’s own body. BE has been found to be effective in individuals with EDs or high body dissatisfaction. However, BE is applied in a multitude of ways, most of which are based on one or a combination of the hypothesized underlying working mechanisms, with no differential effectiveness known so far.

Method

The aim of this paper is to selectively review the main hypothesized working mechanisms of BE and their translation into therapeutic approaches.

Results and Conclusion

Specifically, we underline that studies are needed to pinpoint the proposed mechanisms and to develop an empirically informed theoretical model of BE. We provide a framework for future studies in order to identify working mechanisms and increase effectiveness of BE.
Explaining the efficacy of an internet-based behavioral activation intervention for major depression: A mechanistic study of a randomized-controlled trial
Authors: Fu Zhongfang , Burger Huibert , Arjadi Retha , Nauta Maaike H. , Bockting Claudi L. H.
Published: September 2021

Background

Behavioral activation is an effective treatment for depression that is theorized to facilitate structured increases in enjoyable activities that increase opportunities for contact with positive reinforcement; to date, however, only few mechanistic studies focused on a standalone intervention.

Method

Interventions using internet-based behavioral activation or psychoeducation were compared based on data from a randomized-controlled trial of 313 patients with major depressive disorder. Activation level and depression were measured fortnightly (baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10), using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale-Short Form, respectively. Analysis was performed to determine if a change in activation level mediated treatment efficacy.

Results

Latent growth modeling showed that internet-based behavioral activation treatment significantly reduced depressive symptoms from baseline to the end of treatment (standardized coefficient = −.13, p = .017) by increasing the rate of growth in the activation level (mediated effect estimate = −.17, 95% CI [−.27, −.07]. Results from mixed effects and simplex models showed that it took 4 weeks before mediation occurred (i.e., a significant change in activation that led to a reduction in depressive symptoms).

Conclusion

Activation level likely mediated the therapeutic effect of behavioral activation on depression in our intervention. This finding may be of significant value to clinicians and depressed individuals who should anticipate a 4-week window before seeing a prominent change in activation level and a 6-week window before depressive symptomatology reduces. Future research must consolidate our findings on how behavioral activation works and when mediation occurs.
An Iterated Two-Step Sinusoidal Pitch Contour Formulation for Expressive Speech Synthesis
Authors: Ramli Izzad , Jamil Nursuriati , Seman Noraini
Published: September 2021

Intonation generation in expressive speech such as storytelling is essential to produce high quality Malay language expressive speech synthesizer. Intonation generation, for instance explicit control, has shown good performance in terms of intelligibility with reasonably natural speech; thus, it was selected in this research. This approach modifies the prosodic features, such as pitch contour, intensity, and duration, to generate the intonation. However, modification of pitch contour remains a problem because the desired pitch contour is not achieved. This paper formulated an improved pitch contour algorithm to develop a modified pitch contour resembling the natural pitch contour. In this work, the syllable pitch contours of nine storytellers were extracted from their storytelling speeches to create an expressive speech syllable dataset called STORY_DATA. All the shapes of pitch contours from STORY_DATA were analyzed and clustered into the standard six main pitch contour clusters for storytelling. The clustering was performed using one minus the Pearson product moment correlation. Then, an improved iterative two-step sinusoidal pitch contour formulation was introduced to modify the pitch contours of a neutral speech into an expressive pitch contour of natural speeches. Overall, the improved pitch contour formulation was able to achieve 93 percent high correlated matches, indicating the high resemblance as compared to the previous pitch contour formulation at 15 percent. Therefore, the improved formula can be used in a text-to-speech (TTS) synthesizer to produce a more natural expressive speech. The paper also discovered unique expressive pitch contours in the Malay language that need further investigations in the future.
Legitimizing Racism: Critical Discourse Analysis of White Supremacy in Trump’s Political Speeches
Authors: Salem Ahmad Kareem , Lutfi Narmeen Abbas , Hussein Abbas Lutfi
Published: September 2021

Nowadays, the concept of racism has been frequently used by people and more specifically by political figures as a social phenomenon that has been utilized as a"legitimising ideological tool". It is exploited to persecute an addressed group/s and to dispute them access to some social, cultural and political rights (Miles, 1993: 28). Moreover, it has been considered as “a special variety of ‘heterophobia’, bearing a co-hyponymical relation to ‘antisemitism’ or ‘Jewphobia’, ‘Arab-phobia’, ‘black-phobia’, ‘sexism’, ‘homophobia’, ‘youth-phobia’ and ‘phobia against differently-abled persons’, etc.”(Reisigl and Wodak, 2001: 5-6). However, this study aims to identify the use of racism in the political arena (more specifically in the political speech of Donald Trump) and illustrate the functional use by analyzing three American political speeches given by the former American presidents. The analysis is based on the qualitative research method and the discursive strategies proposed by Reisigl and Wodak’s (2001: 45). The analysis results will show to the reader that, in the political speeches of Donald Trump, racism is expressed both explicitly and implicitly.

Change in Microscopic Traffic Simulation Practice with Respect to the Emerging Automated Driving Technology
Authors: Fang Xuan , Tettamanti Tamás
Published: September 2021

It is believed that autonomous vehicles will replace conventional human drive vehicles in the next decades due to the emerging autonomous driving technology, which will definitely bring a massive transformation in the road transport sector. Due to the high complexity of traffic systems, efficient traffic simulation models for the assessment of this disruptive change are critical. The objective of this paper is to justify that the common practice of microscopic traffic simulation needs thorough revision and modification when it is applied with the presence of autonomous vehicles in order to get realistic results. Two high-fidelity traffic simulators (SUMO and VISSIM) were applied to show the sensitivity of microscopic simulation to automated vehicle’s behavior. Two traffic evaluation indicators (average travel time and average speed) were selected to quantitatively evaluate the macro-traffic performance of changes in driving behavior parameters (gap acceptance) caused by emerging autonomous driving technologies under different traffic demand conditions.

This research focuses on the role of Mangkunegaran women in the Mangkunegaran Kadipaten, so this study focuses on women's activities in the history of the Mangkunegaran Kadipaten until Indonesia's independence. The role of women (wives) in Javanese culture cannot be separated from the perspective of the paternalistic society as konco wingking. The understanding that man (Prophet Adam) was the first human and woman was created from his left rib. Left connotes something unimportant. Although this paternalistic perspective is inherent, no research has found a relationship between the policies of the Mangkunegaran kings and women as konco wingking. After understanding this position, so this research aims to reveal and understand this meaning in the policies of the Mangkunegaran kings. Based on the interaction analysis method of a qualitative approach with historical studies, this study collected informant insights and reference data through interviews, observation and document analysis. The results showed that the term konco wingking for Mangkunegaran kings was more appropriate with the term “garwo or sigaraning nyowo”, because the struggles and policies of the kings of Mangkunegaran involved women as a form of adaptive cultural system implementation, both in the domestic sphere and in formal education and even as a form cultural diplomacy.

Especially Vulnerable Subjects and Categories in the Context of European Migration: Theoretical Regulatory Challenges
Authors: La Spina Encarnación
Published: September 2021

While vulnerability and migration are boundary concepts, they have been employed as if they were somewhat neutral and univocal. Based on the umbrella theory of the vulnerability turn, the specialist doctrine has focused its critical analyses on the legal-political dimensions of the different vulnerable subjects and groups. However, migrant vulnerability has a unique impact on the regulatory field of asylum, especially given its ambiguity and lack of legislative harmonisation across EU Member States. A review of the mechanisms for identifying and protecting migrant vulnerability can provide regulatory evidence regarding the different phases of the Common European Asylum System, which in turn can lead to proposals for its reform. This study will analyse the complex and questionable use of the category of ‘vulnerable migrant’ in the main international instruments of legal protection when applied to asylum seekers. It will then present a critical comparative analysis of the national and EU asylum framework.

This study describes a research focused on primary teachers’ evaluation of their students’ digital literacy as a basic competence in the structure of natural science literacy of research and comprehension competence. With the term, primary teachers we mean teachers of first three grades of compulsory school. The comparison of basic computer skills between Generation Z and Generation Alpha revealed, contrary to expectations, a very small progress. The consequence of this circumstance are the problems associated with the implementation of natural science curricular goals in digital environments of remote teaching in school closure period. A questionnaire given to 176 primary teachers, revealed which digital learning environments could be chosen for science lessons and which curricular goals could/could not be achieved with this level of Generation Alpha students’ digital literacy competence. The results showed that the digital environment is more problematic and unfavorable for Generation Alpha in the field of natural science, as teachers showed a higher frequency of avoiding natural science goals than social science content.

PRE-SERVICE PRIMARY TEACHERS’ SCIENCE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE: A CASE OF LITHUANIA
Authors:   Vilnius University, Lithuania, Lamanauskas Vincentas
Published: September 2021

Primary school teachers’ science competence remains a highly relevant theoretical and practical problem. Although the general curricula and educational standards of Lithuanian general education school set quite high requirements for the process of primary school science education, the science competence of teachers raises reasonable concerns. It has to be stated that in university primary education study programmes, insufficient attention is paid to the natural science component. This leads to a possible lack of preparation for pre-service primary school teachers in science education. A pilot study conducted at the beginning of 2020, in which 107 students from two Lithuanian universities participated, showed that their scientific knowledge was poor and insufficient. Particularly weak was subject knowledge from the field “Nature research”, and also knowledge related to animate and inanimate nature. An assumption can be made that science literacy of pre-service primary education teachers is not sufficiently developed at university, which is one of the factors limiting the quality of children’s science education. There are probably two main reasons for this situation: insufficient science education in general education schools, and insufficient training of students in the field of science education for pre-service primary school teachers.

ВИЗНАННЯ ТА ДІЯ ПРИНЦИПУ ВЕРХОВЕНСТВА ПРАВА У СФЕРІ ОПОДАТКУВАННЯ
Authors: Попович О. В.
Published: September 2021

Категорія принципів у податковій системі продовжує бути актуальною, незважаючи на тривале захоплення науковцями керівними засадами здійснення публічної фінансової діяльності. Принцип верховенства права є загальноправовим принципом, який знайшов своє закріплення в Основному Законі Української держави, у тому числі завдяки тому, що є історично знаковим у життєдіяльності особи, суспільства, держави. Основоположними та вирішальними у доктрині верховенства права є права і свободи людини.

Принципу верховенства права, що діє у податковій системі, характерні ознаки принципів права взагалі. Так, цей принцип: 1) має найвищий авторитет; 2) об’єктивно зумовлений соціальним середовищем; 3) є результатом розвитку правової свідомості суспільства; 4) є історико-практичним за походженням; 5) виражає сутність та соціальне призначення права; 6) виступає орієнтиром формування та вдосконалення правової системи, слугує її опорою; 7) акумулює світовий досвід розвитку права, втілює демократичні і гуманістичні традиції.

Цілями податкової системи, відданої принципу верховенства права, є законність, передбачуваність, справедливість. Часто потрібно знаходити баланс між потребами держави у надходженнях і не менш законними інтересами та правами платників податків зберегти зароблене /нажите. З одного боку, органи виконавчої влади мають правові підстави для застосування закону, а з іншого – існує необхідність реалізації принципу верховенства права, за яким законодавчий орган, а не податкова адміністрація встановлює податкове навантаження.

Взаємозв’язок політики, оподаткування та верховенства права є беззаперечним. Гарантування та повага до основних прав громадян, справедливість та довіра до влади ставлять перед оподаткуванням відповідні вимоги. Для податкової системи також принцип верховенства права основоположний. Його складові знайшли закріплення у Податковому кодексі України. Під час формування та реалізації податкової політики держави уповноважені суб’єкти неодмінно мають керуватися цим принципом, що закріплено у їх посадових обов’язках.

Дія принципу верховенства права у податковій системі є передумовою належного правового регулювання податкових відносин, одного із найнеобхідніших кроків у сьогоденних соціально-економічних реаліях, зокрема в умовах необхідності переходу від наглядово-каральної функції податкової служби до сервісної.
Про питання міжнародної правосуб’єктності транснаціональних корпорацій
Authors: Алієв А. І. , Чирагли М. А.
Published: September 2021

У статті досліджуються питання міжнародної правосуб’єктності транснаціональних або багатонаціональних корпорацій. Автори посилаються на думку ряду вчених, а також співробітників міжнародних організацій, що спеціалізуються на вивченні даної області, для визначення можливих перспектив перетворення ТНК в суб’єкт міжнародного права. При цьому використовується практика міжнародних трибуналів і судів, особливо Міжнародного Суду ООН. Проведено аналіз теоретичних аспектів сутності суб’єктів міжнародного права. Крім того, було проведено аналіз діяльності ТНК як активного учасника міжнародних відносин. Автори привели різні практичні приклади регулювання діяльності ТНК на універсальному, двосторонньому і національному рівнях. Автори досліджували міжнародну правосуб’єктність транснаціональних компаній і її зв’язок з регулюванням їх діяльності міжнародними правовими нормами. Відзначено труднощі, пов’язані із залученням цих учасників міжнародних економічних відносин до міжнародно- правової відповідальності. У статті наводиться ряд аргументів на користь того, що така диференціація на сучасному етапі розвитку міжнародного права видається неможливою з об’єктивних юридичних причин. У цьому контексті аналіз міжнародної правосуб’єктності, який відноситься до здатності приймати міжнародні права і нести обов’язки, був розглянутий в зв’язку з необхідністю теоретичного осмислення проблеми. Автори обґрунтовують складність регулювання діяльності таких суб’єктів в рамках міжнародного права через відсутність у них міжнародної правосуб’єктності. Крім того, в статті досліджується правове визначення ТНК, автори посилаються на думку дослідників в цій області, а також спеціалізованих міжнародних організацій. У статті були вивчені форми господарської діяльності ТНК і їх впливу на економіки різних держав, включаючи держави, які беруть інвестиції, а також повязані з цим труднощі правового регулювання їх діяльності. Були вивчені різні галузі права, що стосуються діяльності багатонаціональних корпорацій.

The existing strategies of maintenance and repair are discussed and a new strategy based on the control of the residual life is presented. It is assumed that in the future, the main maintenance and repair operations will be focused on minimizing this residual life, i.e. on the increase in the service life. It is proved that this maintenance organization strategy for the maintenance and repair optimization allows minimizing the flow of random failures of components during operation and increasing their service life (for a group of the same components) to a maximum. The work on the selection and justification of the life parameters controlled in this strategy has been performed.

Ten commercial genotypes of Gerbera jamesonii were evaluated for a number of qualitative and quantitative traits in RCBD at the Botanical Garden of Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka. Qualitative morphology among 10 genotypes showed significant similarities and dissimilarities. The analysis of variance for all the quantitative traits showed highly significant variations among the genotypes. Genotypes Dutch Diva, Classic Fabio Gold, Candela and Dune proved to be the most suitable and sustainable as they were the best performer for different growth and flower quality parameters. Number of flowers per plant found best in Candela and Dutch Diva (11.33). The phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were found higher than the genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) for all characters. Maximum GCV and PCV were observed for number of suckers per plant (30.984 and 39.568) followed by number of whorls of ray florets per flower and days to flowering from bud initiation. High heritability values were obtained for all the characters. In high heritability estimate coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean was maximum for days to first flowering (32.442), plant height (cm) (17.026) and number of suckers per plant (15.992). Selection would be effective for the character showing high performance in genetic parameter. Path analysis revealed that the diameter of disc florets per flower, stalk girth (cm), number of disc florets per flower, number of ray florets per flower would be selection criteria for improvement in flower number. Based on D2 statistics, 10 genotypes were grouped into 3 clusters, namely cluster I, II and III. Highest number of genotypes was found in cluster I containing 5 genotypes. Scatter diagram represents pattern of genotypic distribution into clustering through principal component scores. Highest inter-cluster distance (22.94) was observed between cluster I and III. The genotypes of cluster II possessed heterogeneous nature and showed highest intra-cluster distance (11.35). Highest cluster mean was observed in cluster II containing four genotypes regarded as the superior than another cluster.

Published: September 2021

In tannery, fleshing is the unavoidable solid waste which has negative effect on the environment. Fleshing contains fat, and protein.In this work, fat extracted fleshing was used for composite fabrication. After collecting limed fleshing, fat was extracted in water bath.The fat extracted fleshing was dried, ground,passes through 80-mesh and homogenized.For proper adhesion and bonding with fleshing powder, epoxy resin and hardener were mixed at various ratios and poured onto an aluminum sheetfor 24 h curing. The mechanical properties of the composite were investigated by tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young’s modulus. The composite was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for related functional groups and surface analysis. The investigation provided satisfactory information on the proper bonding of the fleshing powder and resin/hardener. The approach explores the valorization of he waste for managing solid waste in the tannery.

Prevalence of Insulin Resistance, Dyslipidemia and Metabolic Syndrome in Infertile Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Authors: Ishrat Shakeela , Hussain Marufa
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of reproductive age women and it is a common cause of infertility in young women. Most of the infertile women with PCOS are overweight or obese with related risks of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome. There is ethnic variation in the prevalence of obesity and its related metabolic abnormalities in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. This study was designed to explore the prevalence of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome in Bangladesh. Methods: This was a cross sectional study of 126 infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome attending the Infertility unit of the Department of Obstertrics and Gynaecology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from January 2017 to December 2017. Results: The mean BMI was 26.58±3.18 and mean waist circumference was 91.07±9.5 cm. Regarding the prevalence of obesity, 47.6% of the women were overweight (BMI 23 - 27.5 kg/m2), 39.7% was obese (BMI>27.5 kg/m2) and central obesity (waist circumference ≥80 cm) was in 80.2%. In infertile women of PCOS, the prevalence of insulin resistance was 27.8% , dyslipidemia 93.7% metabolic syndrome 42.9% .Median fasting insulin was higher than the cut off for insulin resistance specific for south Asian population. Insulin resistance measured by hyperinsulinemia was much more frequent (65.9%) than that measured by HOMA-IR (27.8%).The most common lipid abnormality was low HDL cholesterol (90.5%) followed by elevated LDL-cholesterol (79.4%). Low HDL cholesterol (90.5%) and abdominal or central obesity (80.2%) were the most common criteria of metabolic syndrome. There is increasing trend in metabolic syndrome with age. Conclusion: Screening the infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome is important because it allows for additional counseling about long term health consequences and emphasis on weight management.

Introduction: Metabolic processes controlled by cellular signaling mechanisms influence differentiation, proliferation, functional activity, and phenotypic stability of T cells. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a positive regulator of glycolysis. HIF-1 can be activated by an oxygen-independent pathway through the transcriptional activator STAT3. Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) regulates the activity of the mitochondrial processes. Aim: To determine the change in the content of metabolic regulators (HIF-1a, SIRT3) and the level of differentiation antigens of peripheral blood lymphocytes in practically healthy northerners. Methods: The sample consisted of 16 female and 12 male healthy volunteer residents of the Arkhangelsk region aged 23-60 years. The following parameters were measured: the total number of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, the amount of CD4+, CD8+, CD10+, CD71+ cells by an indirect immunoperoxidase method, the content of HIF-1a and SIRT3 in lymphocyte lysate by an enzyme immunoassay. Cluster analysis of the data using "K means" method was performed to identify groups which are significantly different for all included parameters. Results: The ratio HIF-1a/SIRT3 in the group of individuals with the higher total number of lymphocytes and CD4+, CD8+, CD10+, CD71+ subtypes was 4,5 times as high as in the other groups. These findings suggest the predominance of glycolysis in cellular metabolism. Conclusion: The change in the ratio of mitochondrial metabolism and the levels of signaling molecules regulating the glycolysis pathways is important for the development of T cells. The study of signaling mechanisms allows to analyze in detail the T cell link of immunity, to search for targets and to carry out molecular-targeted effects aimed at levelling immune disorders through the correction of metabolism
A WOMAN ABANDONED BY HER APOSTLE: THECLA’S UNIQUENESS AMONG THE APOCRYPHAL ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
Authors: KARAMAN Elif Hilal
Published: September 2021

Thecla appears in the apocryphal Acts of Paul. Like many other women in the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, her story involves an apostle, Christian conversion, turmoil, and heroism. While the Acts of Paul and Thecla shares all these elements with other Apocryphal Acts, Thecla’s story has an unquestionable reputation and fame that others do not. Thecla attracted much more attention than any other woman in the Apocryphal Acts. Church fathers and other ancient authors gave her a place in their works which has triggered intense interest from modern scholarship. This article will investigate the reason for Thecla’s fame, focusing particularly on the elements of her relationship with Paul which earned the story’s distinct character.
