CONFLICTS IN URBAN SPACE AND POST-INDUSTRIAL URBAN TRANSFORMATIONS
Authors: NIEMETS Liudmylа , SUPTELO Olha , LOHVYNOVA Maryna , SEHIDA Kateryna
Published: June 2021

Kharkiv is a modern city in the transition to post-industrial development, with significant migratory attractiveness, high level of urbanization, binational and bilingual population, implementation of a number of socio-economic development projects. Today, the city is not only the localization of many opportunities for the development of society and man, but also an area of increased conflictogenity. The purpose of the study is to identify the main urban conflicts during the post-industrial transition, which arise as a reaction to urban transformations and the action of external national processes and the establishment of the main stakeholders of urban changes and conflicts. The study found that the manifestations and degree of conflictogenity in the city depends on its place in the global urban gradation, and therefore, Kharkiv has a high level of conflictogenity, which is confirmed by the frequency of urban conflicts. The study identified factors of high conflictogenity in Kharkiv, which are due to its historical, cultural and socio-economic development. The following conflicts arise in the city: migration, which are caused by pendulum migrations of the population from peripheral areas to the city, forced migrations from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine; ethno-national, due to the competition of the Ukrainian-Russian population, conflicts with national minorities living in the city; urban and property conflicts, which arise mainly between representatives of local authorities, stakeholders and the local population. Urban conflicts affect urban processes, change the urban landscape and reduce the city’s attractiveness. We emphasize the need for further comprehensive socio-geographical studies of urban processes in cities, in particular the emergence of conflicts, identifying factors of conflict, the impact of urban conflicts on the socio-geographical landscape and developing models to find effective solutions to conflicts in the city.

Authors: Rudenko Sergii , Tytarenko Vadym , Piletsky Eugene , Han Kateryna
Published: June 2021

This paper presents the recent survey results among 160 international students of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The survey aimed to analyse the international students' opinion concerning the religiosity of Ukrainians to distinguish the existing or possible problems in cross-cultural communication in higher education. Obtained data was generalised, analysed and compared with the results of the similar surveys conducted among Ukrainian respondents. The comparison revealed that religios ity, religious tolerance and religious freedom of Ukrainians, as perceived by international students, are noticeably lower than reported by Ukrainians themselves. The authors believe that the presented Ukrainian case is representative and valid for some neighbouring countries with cultural and historical connections with Ukraine and can contribute to the establishment of good international educational practices.
Does a country’s income inequality affect its citizens’ quest for equality in leisure? Evidence from European men’s football
Authors: Scelles Nicolas , François Aurélien
Published: June 2021

Does a country’s income inequality affect its citizens’ quest for equality in leisure? To answer this question, the letter investigates the impact of competitive balance on fan demand (stadium attendance) in European men’s football over the 2006-18 period, splitting leagues into groups depending on their country’s income inequality. Competitive balance has a significant negative impact on stadium attendance in countries with lowest income inequality and a significant positive impact in countries with highest income inequality and the whole sample. Findings suggest that, in leisure, European football fans look for the (in)equality their national economy does not offer.
The use of inositol stereoisomers for the treatment of patients with clinical and biochemical signs of hyperandrogenism
Authors: Alyautdina Ol'ga S. , Prilutskaya Viktoriya Y. , Krylova Ekaterina I.
Published: June 2021

For many years, the use of combined oral contraceptives (COC) with antiandrogenic effects was the main treatment of clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). At the same time, the creation of an alternative therapy regimen for patients who have contraindications to taking hormonal drugs, as well as planning pregnancy, is obvious. Various combinations of inositol stereoisomers (myoinositol ― MI, and D-chiro-inositol ― DCI) are being actively studied. The review reflects the current understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis of hyperinsulinemia and androgen-dependent dermatological manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome. The mechanisms of action of inositols at the molecular level are normalization of carbohydrate metabolism in the body and the reduction of hyperinsulinemia, as well as the levels of male sex hormones in PCOS. A comparative analysis of studies with various combinations of inositols was conducted on the effectiveness of treatment of clinical manifestations of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne. The use of MI in conjunction with DCI reduces the risk of developing metabolic syndrome and improves the endocrine profile and manifestations of insulin resistance, but further multicenter studies on this problem are required.
Social Media as a Public Space for Political Activism: The Use of Twitter During Gezi Park Protests
Authors: Burak Begüm
Published: June 2021

Political polarization in Turkey has not only been visible during electoral processes but it has also been evident in non-electoral processes in online and offline protests. Gezi Park protests in 2013 denote to such processes. This study analyzes the use of Twitter during Gezi Park protests that had sparked mass protests and a big polarization. The role of Twitter had been influential in mobilizing the masses in the protests. During Gezi protests as seen in the Arab Spring, Twitter was used by the protesters in a dense way in the polarized political environment. Using the “mediated populism” as the theoretical framework, this study argues that social media has paved the way for the emergence of a citizen-centered public space in times of crisis and polarization during Gezi protests. The data that will be under analysis consist of the tweets posted on Twitter during the peak of Gezi protests. The date between May 25 and June 16, 2013 is taken as the time span that refers to the peak time of protests. By detecting top-mentioned tweets, this study aims to analyze how political activism had been expressed by the protesters. To achieve this aim, the randomly selected tweets posted in this time span were examined by conducting content analysis methodology.

Authors: E. Kirillov Oleg , M. Mirgazov Ruslan , M. Ignatkin Yuri , G. Konstantinov Sergey , V. Makeev Pavel , Yu. Buntov Mikhail
Published: June 2021

A computational model of a wind tunnel (WT) with a special experimental rig has been developed directly for studying unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a wing section with a helicopter blade profile. The model was constructed using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) methods based on the URANS approach (Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier Strokes Equations). Therefore, the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil can be determined, taking into account influence of the WT walls such as walls perforation and various configurations of the experimental rig. Simulation of the flow around the wing section with the SC1095 airfoil in steady and unsteady settings is performed. The flow features in the working section of the WT and the experimental rig are analyzed. For a particular case, the calculation method was validated in a 2D formulation on the basis of available experimental data. The developed model can be used to refine the methods of processing experimental data, taking into account the individual characteristics of the WT and the experimental rig configuration.

As the world progresses, management of change is seen as an opportunity for organizations to improve their competitive edge, their profits and productivity. Companies around the world become more specialised and focused on their core competencies and rely largely on niche markets. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that management change is process that undoubtedly generates a perceived efficacy among workforce. This fact may signify the generation of key-organizational behavior indicators, such as job satisfaction. This study is theoretically exploring the relationship between the perceived efficacy of a management change process and job satisfaction.
Experience of Solidarity in Poland under Communist Rule and Thereafter
Authors: Solska Magdalena
Published: June 2021

Although Solidarność was the largest mass movement in the history of after-war Europe, the experience of solidarity during that time in communist Poland has barely been analysed. Drawing on historical accounts of the events in the 1980s and press interviews with Solidarność members, this paper attempts to bridge this gap and identifies key aspects of the experienced solidarity. It argues that the solidarity under communism in Poland derived not only from the common enemy – the communist party state – but was deeply rooted in Catholic social thought and the national identity. It was driven mainly by ideas of protection of human dignity, mutual aid, participation and a demand for “life in truth”. Since 2015, the new social policy has had initially positive impact on income inequality, birth rates and poverty but must be accompanied by further measures to obtain a long-term character.
Discontinuities Within Continuities: Solidarity, (Im-)Mobility and Migration Between Refugee Crisis and COVID-19 Crisis
Authors: Odermatt Eveline
Published: June 2021

Since the peak of the so-called refugee crisis in 2015, much has been written on the topic of solidarity towards migrants. However, the perspective of migrants on the issue of solidarity and their practices of solidarity has been addressed less. This article aims to outline solidarity in the context of migration in more detail. Firstly, I will outline how solidarity played out towards migrants during the refugee crisis, and I will sketch how migrants engage in cross-border solidarity, having left their sending countries and families behind. Secondly, I will illustrate continuities and discontinuities between the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 crisis with regards to migration policies implemented during these crises. Hereinafter, I will highlight the impacts of these migration measures on the migrants’ capacity to manifest solidarity as well as on forms of solidarity towards migrants. The main argument is that bridging these two crises - the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 crisis - can deepen our understanding of the interplay between migration policies put in place and forms of solidarity among migrants or towards migrants. Hence, the article aims to contribute to the broader discussion on the diverse ways of how crises and crises discourses affect migration policies and consequently the migrants.
Familiale Solidarität und gesellschaftliche Reproduktion
Authors: Schultheis Franz
Published: June 2021

Die Familie gilt gemeinhin als eine geradezu archetypische Verkörperung von Solidargemeinschaft. Hierbei sollte jedoch nicht in Vergessenheit geraten, dass die Familie nicht nur ein «Hafen in einer herzlosen Welt» ist, sondern zugleich die Rolle einer zentralen Akteurin der gesellschaftlichen Reproduktion von ungleichen Lebenschancen und gesellschaftlichen Hierarchien spielt. Dieses Janusgesicht von Solidarität nach Innen und Selbstbehauptung und Reproduktion von ökonomischen und symbolischen Gütern nach Aussen, das durch Eduard von Hartmann treffend auf den Begriff Familienegoismus gebracht wurde, bringt die elementare Doppeldynamik von gesellschaftlicher Schliessung und Ausschliessung geradezu in Reinform zur Geltung.

Constructivismo y tecnologías en educación. Entre la innovación y el aprender a aprender
Authors: Rubio Gaviria David , Jiménez Guevara Julián Ernesto
Published: June 2021

El objetivo del artículo[1] es caracterizar las condiciones de posibilidad del discurso sobre el constructivismo en educación, que es a su vez un discurso que incluye la tecnología como uno de sus pilares.

Originalidad: el trabajo problematiza el sentido de la “sociedad del conocimiento”, cuestiona la relación entre las competencias en educación y la innovación, así como interroga el discurso del “aprender a aprender” como el asunto central de la educación que se asume como constructivista.

 Método: Revisión documental.

Estrategias: Lectura temática de documentos sobre política educativa producidos por agencias internacionales.

 Para concluir, se propone que el constructivismo se popularizó porque parece recoger lo propuesto alrededor de “la sociedad del conocimiento” y el discurso sobre las “necesidades de aprendizaje” promovido por agencias internacionales. Se sugiere, de igual modo, que la innovación es una condición estructural de la educación contemporánea, lo que explica los discursos del desarrollo de habilidades y competencias, donde no se trata de aprender algo, sino de aprender a aprender.

[1] El artículo presenta resultados parciales del proyecto de investigación “De la crisis mundial de la educación a la crisis mundial del aprendizaje. 50 años de producción de discurso educacional de la UNESCO” (DSI-511-20), financiado por el Centro de Investigaciones de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, bajo la Coordinación de David Rubio Gaviria, durante 2020. Del mismo modo, el artículo esboza resultados preliminares de la tesis doctoral “Análisis arqueogenalógico del constructivismo en educación”, adelantada por Julián Jiménez Guevara.
OS FRUTOS DE MAIO: RESENHA HISTÓRICA DO MOVIMENTO ESTUDANTIL NA AMÉRICA LATINA NO INICIO DO SÉCULO XX
Authors: Lima Jardilino José Rubens
Published: June 2021

En este artículo me propongo examinar las cuestiones de la historiasocial de los movimientos estudiantiles en el continente, tomando como caso de Argentina, Perú, Cuba y México, por supuesto lo hago en plena colaboración con los especialistas con los cuales mantengo diálogo intenso y los tengo como referencia de mi narrativa sobre el tema. Los movimientos estudiantiles reciben diferentes interpretaciones de su protagonismo juvenil. En Francia, incluso con los socialistas en el poder, hubo un trabajo de la desfiguración del movimiento poco después de su término. Mayo del 68 fue establecido definitivamente como una revuelta de la juventud, o comola juventud es considerada el tiempo del amor y pasiones, el movimiento de 1968, se asimila como una aspiración de los jóvenes en la búsqueda de suprimir el yugo de los padres y de los tabúes sexuales. Por otra parte, hay que reconocer en el movimiento francés sus fuertes contenidos culturales ysu firme deseo de cambiar las estructuras institucionales de la modernidad - la Universidad, la Familia, señalando como un movimiento social que se solidarizan a asociaciones como de los agricultores y de los trabajadores en general en la lucha por un cambio cultura. También hay quienes afirman que su legado ha dejado sólo el peso de la droga a un mundo postmoderno yesotérico. En frente de esta diversidad de visiones, nosotros tomamos la libertad de entender el movimiento de los 68 en una perspectiva histórica del papel de los jóvenes en búsqueda de los cambios en las estructuras sociales, desde principios de siglo.

Movimientos estudiantiles, prensa y política ha representado en la historia de las universidades, una constante en Colombia. El acceso a la prensa se constituyó en un privilegio como medio de divulgación que les otorgó representación y liderazgo en la lucha por sus ideales. El movimiento de los años cuarenta en la Universidad de Cartagena, dejó una impronta: si bien estemedio permitió su reconocimiento, y las demandas académicas fueron sus razones iniciales, estuvieron mayormente interesados en involucrarse en la lucha política bipartidista de esos años sobre todo, del lado del liberalismo hegemónico del período, organizándose incluso en movimientos o comités anombre del socialismo y comunismo, posiciones de izquierda que empezaban a permear las instituciones universitarias colombianas y la oposición conservadora, que se hizo cada vez más fuerte.

A Rare Presentation of Multi-Organ Embolism in a Multifactorial Hypercoagulable State: Case Report
Authors: Brysch Eva , Salgado Sara , Santos António Carvalheira , Bárbara Cristina
Published: June 2021

Paradoxical embolism is an uncommon phenomenon, accounting for only 2% of all cases of systemic arterial embolism. This condition suggests the presence of a patent foramen ovale, present in 20% - 25% of the adult population. The authors report the case of a 63-year-old male patient with a history of lung adenocarcinoma and hereditary thrombophilia admitted to hospital with acute onset of dyspnea, diplopia, confusion and decreased motor strength of the right limbs. Cranial computed tomography scan showed acute ischemic injury in the left posterior cerebral artery and computed tomography pulmonary angiography revealed bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism. A transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the presence of patent foramen ovale. The patient was treated with anticoagulant therapy with progressive clinical improvement. Due to a high risk of recurrent thromboembolic episodes, the percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale was performed and anticoagulant therapy was maintained indefinitely.

Introduction: Our national protocol for traumatic brain injury dictates that hypocoagulated patients with mild trauma and initial tomography scan with no intracranial traumatic changes must be hospitalized for 24 hours and do a post-surveillance tomography scan. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of these measures.Material and Methods: A prospective observational study was undertaken in four hospitals. Adult hypocoagulated traumatic brain injury patients with a normal tomography scan were included. The main outcomes evaluated were rate of delayed intracranial hemorrhage, rate of admission in a neurosurgical department, rate of complications related with surveillance and rate of prolonged hospitalization due to complications. An analysis combining data from a previously published report was also done.Results: A total of 178 patients were included. Four patients (2.3%) had a delayed hemorrhage and three (1.7%) were hospitalized in a neurosurgery ward. No cases of symptomatic hemorrhage were identified. No surgery was needed, and all patients had their anticoagulation stopped. Complications during surveillance were reported in seven patients (3.9%), of which two required prolonged hospitalization.Discussion: The rate of complications related with surveillance was higher than the rate of delayed hemorrhages. The initial period of in-hospital surveillance did not convey any advantage since the management of patients was never dictated by neurological changes. Post-surveillance tomography played a role in deciding about anticoagulation suspension and prolongation of hospitalization.Conclusion: Delayed hemorrhage is a rare event and the need for surgery even rarer. The need for in-hospital surveillance should be reassessed.

Published: June 2021

A pesquisa ora apresentada se ocupa das relações entre raça, arte, museu, patrimônio e o tema da violência histórica tendo como objeto de análise as três obras sob o título Pedras Portuguesas e a instalação Brinquedo de Furar Moletom do artista Jaime Lauriano. Estabelecendo um panorama acerca dos modos tradicionais das artes e dos museus ainda em vigor na arte e na cultura brasileiras, recuperando ideias sobre a racialização de indivíduos e grupos no Brasil desde sua colonização, passando pela potência narrativa do corpo e das experiências por ele mediadas, lê-se os trabalhos de Lauriano como uma forma prática e simbólica contraproducente em face da hegemonia moderna eurocentrada. Para tanto, serve-se das teorias de hegemonia ocidental em Ernesto Laclau e Boaventura de Sousa Santos, de racialização em Silvio Almeida, Aníbal Quijano e Achille Mbembe, da potência do corpo na produção do conhecimento em Maurice Merleau-Ponty e das ideias da relação entre arte e violência/temas dolorosos em Karl Erik Schøllhammer e Thierry De Duve.

Belgique, Marseillaise et Brabançonne
Authors: Richard Bernard
Published: June 2021

Les Belges ont entendu et souvent entonnée la Marseillaise sous la Révolution française. C’est encore au son d l’hymne français qu’ils se révoltent en août 1830, quand ils créent leur drapeau tricolore et leur hymne, la Brabançonne. Avec la Grande Guerre de 1914-18, ils accueillent l’armée libératrice en chantant encore la Marseillaise de préférence à leur propre hymne parfois. Ils l’entendent encore sur les stades et même dans la bouche d’un de leur grands hommes politiques, confondue avec la Brabançonne par ce politique en 2007. La Marseillaise fait presque parti du patrimoine belge.

Multicomponent training is recommended for people with dementia living in long-term care homes. Nevertheless, evidence is limited and people with severe dementia are often excluded from trials. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate (1) the feasibility and (2) the requirements regarding a multicomponent training for people with moderate to severe dementia. The study was conducted as an uncontrolled single arm pilot study with a mixed methods approach. 15 nursing home residents with a mean age of 82 years (range: 75-90 years; female: 64%) with moderate to severe dementia received 16 weeks of multicomponent training. Feasibility and requirements of the training were assessed by a standardized observation protocol. Eleven participants regularly attended the intervention. The highest active participation was observed during gait exercises (64%), the lowest during strength exercises (33%). It was supportive if exercises were task-specific or related to everyday life. This study confirms that a multicomponent training for the target group is (1) feasible and well accepted. To enhance active participation (2) individual instructions and the implementation of exercises related to everyday life is required. The effectiveness of the adapted training should be tested in future randomized controlled trials.

Artificial Intellignece (AI) is a platform lending immense assistance in discovering and developing drugs and thus, various such approaches have been developed with the intent of simplifying and improving biomedical operations such as drug repurposing and drug discovery. In the past decade, AI-based investigation of nanomedicines, as well as non-nanomedicines has reached the clinical level. In semblance with the traditional methods of therapy, nanomedicine therapy is employed at limited doses. The study of a variety of drugs resulted in the conclusion that the effect of each drug is variable for every patient and, evaluating that perfect drug combination manually is a time-consuming as well as an inefficient treatment method. Therefore, the use of AI simplifies and reduces the time consumption in determining the perfect customized drug combination for nano-therapy. The area with the most potential for meeting this reality is to optimize the drug and dosage parameters. It is a universally known fact that cancer is dangerous and unique because of the exacting challenges it poses during treatment and, to achieve a better treatment, the therapeutic effect on each patient must be delineated even if the volume of data generated is massive. The article aims at analyzing the AI technologies that help yield results much quicker, make the analyses simple, and efficient.
MIX-and-Match or Mismatch? Exploring Older Adults’ Perspectives About Zumba Dance and Its Potential Utilization for Dual-Task Training

Despite the popularity of Zumba in several countries, research is scarce about its impact on older adults. Meanwhile, the integration of cognitive tasks with physical exercises, known as dual-tasking, is an evolving strategy to facilitate activities for older people. This study investigated the perceptions of older adults regarding Zumba and the potential of implementing it in a dual-task program. We conducted a qualitative-descriptive research involving 44 Filipino older adults from August to November 2020. Content analysis was employed to analyze the data. Four themes were identified: moving towards match or mismatch; balancing benefits with burdens; dual-tasking as innovative yet potentially challenging; and overcoming barriers with enablers. While Zumba is an inclusive and beneficial activity, individual and contextual limitations could hinder its suitability for older people. Dual-tasking in Zumba was also recognized as an innovative approach, although challenges should be addressed to promote its utility. Several strategies could support the design of these programs in communities. This is the first study to explore older adults’ perceptions towards Zumba and its potential utilization as a dual-tasking program. Findings could guide the implementation of appropriate Zumba and dual-tasking activities that seek to integrate cognitive and physical training for older adults.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) challenges include understanding what triggered SARS-CoV-2 emergence, how this RNA virus is evolving or how the genomic variability may impact the primary structure of proteins that are targets for vaccine. We analyzed 19471 SARS-CoV-2 genomes and 199,984 spike glycoprotein sequences available at the GISAID database from all over the world and 3335 genomes of other Coronoviridae family members available at Genbank, collecting SARS-CoV-2 high-quality genomes and distinct Coronoviridae family genomes. Here, we identify a SARS-CoV-2 emerging cluster containing 13 closely related genomes isolated from bat and pangolin that showed evidence of recombination, which may have contributed to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2. The analyzed SARS-CoV-2 genomes presented 9632 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) corresponding to a variant density of 0.3 over the genome, and a clear geographic distribution. SNPs are unevenly distributed throughout the genome and hotspots for mutations were found for the spike gene and ORF 1ab. We describe a set of predicted spike protein epitopes whose variability is negligible. All predicted epitopes for the structural E, M and N proteins are highly conserved. This result favors the continuous efficacy of the available vaccines.

To design properly and optimizate liquid-assisted processes such as reactive infiltration for fabricating light weight and corrosion resistant SiC/TiSi2 composites, the interfacial phenomena taking place when liquid Si-rich Si-Ti alloys are in contact with glassy carbon (GC) were investigated for the first time by wetting tests performed by both the sessile and pendant drop methods at T = 1450°C. Specifically, two different Si-rich Si-Ti alloys were selected, and the obtained results in terms of contact angle values, spreading kinetics, reactivity, and developed interface microstructures were compared with experimental observations previously obtained for the liquid Si-rich Si-Ti eutectics processed under the same operating conditions. The increase of the Si content did not affected the final contact angle values. Contrarily, the final developed microstructure at the interface as well as the spreading kinetics were observed as weakly dependent on the composition. From the practical point of view, Si-Ti alloy compositions with a Si-content falling in the simple eutectic region of the phase diagram might be potentially used as infiltrant materials of C- and SiC-based composites.

Lineage plasticity, the switching of cells from one lineage to another has been recognized to be a cardinal property essential for embryonic development, tissue repair and homeostasis. However, such a highly regulated process goes awry when cancer cells exploit this inherent ability to their advantage, resulting in tumorigenesis, relapse, metastasis and therapy resistance. In this review, we summarize our current understanding on the role of lineage plasticity in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance in multiple cancers. Lineage plasticity can be triggered by treatment itself and is reported across various solid as well as liquid tumors. Here we focus on the importance of lineage switching in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance of solid tumors such as the prostate, lung, hepatocellular and colorectal carcinoma and the myeloid and lymphoid lineage switch observed in leukemias. Besides this, we also discuss the role of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in facilitating the lineage switch in biphasic cancers such as aggressive carcinosarcomas. We also discuss the mechanisms involved, current therapeutic approaches and challenges that lie ahead in taming the scourge of lineage plasticity in cancer.
