Authors:   Department of Art, Moscow University for the Humanities, Sheremet Sergey Vladimirovich
Published: July 2023

It is not difficult to imagine the reaction of a completely unprepared listener who finds himself in the auditorium at a Chinese opera performance. The differences between traditional opera — in the European sense — and Chinese opera are quite significant. For historical reasons, the differences between Chinese and European opera art are due to the dissimilarity of Chinese and European cultures in general and the peculiarities of the cultural and historical processes of Europe and China. It is an undeniable fact that China is famous for its vivid historical events, rich cultural heritage, and special amazing traditions, which are reverently preserved. The article analyzes the specifics of the Chinese opera and examines the features of its functioning. The material of the article may be useful in the preparation of students in the areas of Vocal Art and Culturology.
Legal grounds and limits of judicial discretion in the criminal law of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Moscow University for the Humanities, Plotnikova Tatyana Viktorovna
Published: July 2023

The presented material analyzes the theoretical and methodological approaches to the definition of "judicial discretion" and considers the problems of the grounds and limits of judicial discretion in the implementation of legal proceedings in the Russian Federation at the present stage. It is shown that informatization and digitalization are two processes in the modern public space, which entailed a significant expansion of the spheres of life of the society that are included in the sphere of legal regulation. As a result, the quantitative component of legislative acts issued by the lawmaker is increasing dramatically. However, it has to be stated that these acts are often discretionary in nature. Consequently, legal conflicts provoke a number of negative factors, in particular, difficulties in law enforcement, including the work of the judiciary. In this regard, it is judicial discretion that becomes the significant factor that contributes to the effective and, not least, timely overcoming of legal gaps.

Published: July 2023

The article analyzes the problems of ensuring national security by the FSB of Russia. The 21st century is the time of globalization and the rapid development of technologies, which, despite all the advantages, pose difficult tasks for the country to protect its interests and security. On the one hand, the state must ensure free trade and economic relations with other countries, on the other hand, it must control this process and protect state secrets. The main work in this direction is carried out by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), which takes measures to preserve state interests. The Federal Security Service (FSB) plays an important role in ensuring the national security of Russia and protecting its citizens from threats on a national scale. It performs a wide range of functions and tasks that are aimed at protecting the fundamental valuesof national security and state sovereignty. One of the most important roles of the FSB is the prevention of terrorism and extremism. The FSB carries out operational work to identify and prevent planned terrorist acts and actions of extremist organizations, as well as neutralize threats to national security. In order to achieve this, the FSB actively cooperates with other departments, both in Russia and abroad, using the most modern technologies and methods.

The purpose of the research is to study the features of the implementation of the technology of social service for children in low-income families in the conditions of the Comprehensive Center for Social Services to the Population of the Pravoberezhny District of Magnitogorsk.
Optimizing YOLOv5 algorithm for Mask-wearing Detection
Authors: Fan Yang , Wang Wu
Published: July 2023

The novel coronavirus has a strong ability to spread and survive. Wearing a mask correctly can effectively reduce the spread of the virus among the crowd. How to intelligently and efficiently detect the wearing of a mask is of great significance. Detecting whether to wear a mask is the target detection content that many researchers are currently studying. YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once) is an excellent algorithm in target detection. Given that detecting whether a mask is worn is different from other target detection tasks, in this paper, we tried to optimize YOLOv5 algorithm to make it more suitable for mask-wearing detection. In words, detection layers, attention mechanism were added, and proper loss function was chosen strictly to the YOLOv5 target detection algorithm. So that optimal YOLOv5 algorithm model was proposed. The accuracy rate (precision), recall rate (recall) and average precision (mAP) of the algorithm on the test set were 83%, 83.3% and 81.7% respectively, higher than YOLOv3, YOLOv4, YOLOv5 detection algorithm.

Authors: Misyak Sarah , Johnson Meredith , McFerren Mary , Culhane Jennifer , Niewolny Kim , Hosig Kathryn , Serrano Elena
Published: July 2023

The study reported here describes a Virginia Family Nutrition Program's target population's perceptions of barriers to using a farmers market to access local foods. Mothers from a rural county photographed their shopping experience. Using a photo elicitation process to develop themes related to food access, the mothers identified barriers to shopping at farmers markets. The results can provide guidance to agents, program assistants, and farmers market coordinators on promoting use of farmers markets by low-income populations. The development of experiential learning opportunities to overcome barriers is critical if farmers markets are encouraged as an avenue for promoting healthy eating.

Authors: Gunther Carolyn , Rose Angela , Bruhn Christine , Cluskey Mary , Reicks Marla , Richards Rickelle , Wong Siew , Boushey C.J. , Misner Scottie , Olson Beth
Published: July 2023

The study reported here aimed to identify the relationship of parents' calcium knowledge with diet-related parental practices and determinants of calcium knowledge. A cross-sectional survey was conducted measuring parental practices, calcium knowledge, and demographics. A convenience sample of 599 racially/ethnically diverse parents of children 10-13y completed questionnaires. Higher education and having a daughter were associated with higher calcium knowledge; being Asian or Hispanic and born outside the U.S. were associated with lower calcium knowledge. Parents with greater calcium knowledge were more likely to engage in healthy parenting practices. These factors may be important considerations for Extension educators in nutrition education.

Published: July 2023

Dynamic programs that integrate science literacy and workforce readiness are essential to today's youth. The program reported here combined science literacy (gardening and technology) with workforce readiness to assess the impact of program type, prior program participation, and behavior/punctuality on knowledge gain. Findings show that past participation in a similar program positively impacted knowledge gain. Further, the results indicate that behavior/punctuality also increased knowledge gain. Of particular interest to Extension educators, this article discusses the implications of examining only mean scores to assess program effectiveness, especially where prior programs have been attended by students.
The Dollar Game Curriculum: Inspiring Wealth Creation in Rural Communities
Authors: Braak Willem , Lewin Paul
Published: July 2023

Rural wealth creation and local entrepreneurship are emerging economic development approaches that bring back a sense of self-determination to rural communities. However, their potential is often greatly diminished by preconceived and opposing notions within the community on what drives economic growth. The Dollar Game is an innovative curriculum where participants collectively build an understanding of how innovation, income distribution and export affect their communities. Teams play different scenarios, starting with an island economy isolated from grants, subsidies, and trading opportunities and builds to a connected economy where they eventually lose ownership of the local value-chain.

Authors: Scarrow Andrea , Fuhrman Nicholas , Futris Ted
Published: July 2023

Child welfare professionals (CWPs) who attended the Healthy Relationship and Marriage Education Training delivered by Extension educators in Georgia participated in focus groups 6 months post-training to investigate what elements of the training influenced their implementation of the concepts and their recommendations for future trainings. The findings revealed three elements that influenced implementation: relevant content, interactive training, and trainer attributes. CWPs made recommendations concerning content/curriculum format, field implementation, and training methods. Conclusions included recommendations for both CWPs and Extension educators. As an unexpected outcome, results suggested that qualitative evaluation may reinforce and strengthen partnerships between Extension and other agencies.
A Framework for Identifying Implementation Issues Affecting Extension Human Sciences Programming
Authors: Abell Ellen , Cummings Rebekah , Duke Adrienne , Marshall Jennifer
Published: July 2023

Extension programs based on identified needs, relevant theory, and solid research too often fail to realize their objectives. Program implementation is acknowledged to contribute to program effectiveness, yet systematic attention has not been paid to the array of implementation issues that can complicate achieving program goals. We developed the multilevel Implementation Issues Framework (IIF) to guide the identification and analysis of factors contributing to the ability of a program model to achieve its intended outcomes. The IIF can be used to complement logic models, inform process evaluation efforts for new and multisite programs, and support the implementation of evidence-based programming.

However, planning and conducting field demonstrations takes time and foresight. Clear objectives, teamwork, and adequate resources are vital. The information provided in this article is intended to serve as a "roadmap" of the key elements that will lead to a successful field demonstration tour.
Our Role in and Responsibility Toward Social Justice
Authors: Fields Nia , Nathaniel Keith
Published: July 2023

People of color have been historically marginalized and stripped of equitable access to education throughout this country—which is a form of social injustice. Social injustice describes societal inequities that marginalize groups by diminishing access to quality education and other human rights. One way that Extension can be a catalyst to minimizing social injustice is to become more aware of societal disparities. There are also programmatic considerations that can help foster social justice. One such consideration is to increase programs that enhance social capital, as they can serve as a conduit of social justice.

Authors: Mancini Simone , Tavares Dennis Santos , Gomes Francisco Carlos , Gandia Rômulo Marçal , Lacerda Wilian Soares , Yanagi Junior Tadayuki , De Paula Wisner Coimbra
Published: July 2023

Structural reliability studies in silo pressure predictions are a subject of great interest because the number of variables in silo pressure calculations is large, which can generate numerous failures and occurrences of collapse. The objective of this study was to propose a pressure prediction model using artificial neural networks (ANNs) in comparison with experimental data. For data collection, a pilot silo model, proposed by Pieper and Schutz (1980), adopted by the German standard DIN 1055 (1987), was used. The pressure measurements were performed during loading and unloading of the silo. Smooth walls with flat bottom were used in the silo, varying the height/diameter ratio between 4, 6 and 8. The pressures observed on the silo walls were the horizontal pressures and the friction pressure of the product with the wall. The results of the pressures obtained experimentally were fed into an algorithm using multilayer Perceptron ANNs. The pressures measured on the silo walls were compared with the values predicted by ANNs, linear and polynomial regressions, and also with the values calculated by means of the European Standard EN 1991-4: 2006 and Australian Standard AS 3774 (1996). Among the models used, the best performance was obtained by ANNs, which were able to predict silo wall pressures with smaller errors.

Authors: Rocha Ana Carolline Tavares , Carvalho Carla Rocha , Hostins Janaina Rocha Barros , Dos Santos Karina Mattos , Marinho Ana Mackartney de Souza
Published: July 2023

Introdução: o aleitamento materno (AM) é primordial para o desenvolvimento da criança em variados aspectos, como proteção contra doenças infecciosas, crônicas e alérgicas, aumento da capacidade cognitiva e imunidade. A Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) preconiza a amamentação exclusiva até o 6° mês de vida. Objetivo: identificar por meio de uma revisão de literatura os fatores desencadeantes do desmame precoce, visto que o leite materno contém elementos essenciais para a saúde e desenvolvimento do bebê.  Materiais e métodos: trata-se de uma revisão de literatura realizada de acordo com critérios metodológicos de inclusão e exclusão dos artigos selecionados (datados do ano de 2022, publicados em Língua Portuguesa e sem duplicação). A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados Scholar Google, SciELO e Pubmed sobre a temática “Fatores desencadeantes do desmame precoce”. Resultados e discussão: identificou-se o retorno ao trabalho das mães como principal fator desencadeante do desmame precoce. No entanto, foi possível perceber que fatores fisiológicos da mama, assim como outros motivos externos, também contribuem para que as mulheres deixem de amamentar antes do período recomendado. Os autores encontraram particularidades a respeito dos motivos que levam ao desmame precoce, que podem ter sido influenciadas pelo tipo de estudo, local onde foi realizada a pesquisa ou até mesmo pelo perfil epidemiológico estudado. Considerações finais: os resultados alcançados permitem que os órgãos governamentais responsáveis pela saúde pública promovam estratégias para auxiliar os profissionais da saúde e  familiares no que tange a prevenção do desmame precoce.

De fato, é possível conciliar a maternidade com as demais atividades, porém, para isso, são necessários alguns fatores que possam contribuir para a permanência dessas mães na vida acadêmica.
Relação do desenho, do corpo, do espaço e da memória através da perspectiva
Authors: Barbosa José Manuel Teixeira
Published: July 2023

As imagens do desenho à mão levantada produzem e reproduzem repercussões permanentes do corpo, do espaço e da memória, sobretudo através da perspectiva. Trata-se, portanto, de compreender a importância da construção das imagens, da sua organização, das tensões e ressonâncias dos elementos plásticos com aquele que desenha. As imagens do real e do imaginário encontram no desenho modos de representação para que as ideias se tornem visíveis e verosímeis, independentemente da realidade que apresentam. Por isso mesmo, os processos de construção e fixação das ideias sempre se revelaram tão importantes, indagando associar o visto com o não visto. É através da perspectiva que ao desenhar do “sítio”, portanto, do real, se propõe a múltipla articulação com distintos fenómenos - físicos, psicológicos, conhecimento científico e empírico, implicando as leis da perspectiva e a sensação da medida. Este tipo de desenho articula vínculos criados com a realidade que o corpo armazena durante a sua produção; vínculos que, a qualquer momento, são sugeridos pela memória e pela acção gráfica. É neste sentido que a percepção e representação do mundo, real ou imaginário, através do desenho à mão levantada e apoiado pela perspectiva não se traduz na mera organização racional mas, notadamente, sensível. Do visível ao inteligível, as imagens do desenho atraem porque, essencialmente, sugerem o visível e o invisível, trata-se de pequenas percepções aparentemente invisíveis. É nesta confluência de fenómenos que as imagens do real e do imaginário se concretizam quando realizadas em perspectiva através do desenho à mão livre; impõe-se, portanto, uma dialéctica entre fenómenos de distinta natureza, o que é imediatamente dado a ver e o que potencialmente pode ser visto.

A produção de resíduos sólidos consiste em um grave problema em todas as áreas, mas em especial na construção civil os resíduos sólidos, possuem uma das principais causas de lotação dos aterros sanitários, sendo necessário a substituição dos insumos necessários em uma obra. Um dos problemas enfrentados tanto por grandes quanto pequenas cidades está no descarte do lixo, na geração de resíduos e seus impactos, logo a pesquisa visa contribuir com futuras discussões no campo da engenharia para soluções sustentáveis com o emprego de novas tecnologias, para solucionar os problemas enfrentados com o descarte de resíduos sólidos, proporcionando soluções economicamente viáveis gerando renda e promovendo a sustentabilidade. O tijolo ecológico ou tijolo solo-cimento, recebe essa denominação pois seu processo de fabricação não se utiliza a queima, como ocorre na fabricação do tijolo tradicional que emite vários poluentes ao meio ambiente. Nesse contexto a presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar os benefícios do tijolo ecológico na construção civil bem como identificar a seu processo de fabricação utilizado e análise da sua composição. O presente artigo se justifica pelo baixo impacto ambiental a implementação do tijolo ecológico causa auxiliando na diminuição de resíduos sólidos da construção civil. Utilizou a metodologia do tipo revisão bibliográfica. A utilização de Tijolos Solo-Cimento reduz a produção de resíduos sólidos da construção civil e poluentes como o Iodo em recursos hídrico e emissão de CO2, representando uma prática sustentável, apesar do seu emprego ter quase um século, ainda sua prática é escassa no Brasil.

Conhecimento e cuidado acerca do câncer de colo uterino em mulheres assistidas pela rede pública do município de Araguari - MG
Authors: Alburquerque Magali Alves , Oliveira Luciana Souza
Published: July 2023

Introdução: Sabe-se que o câncer de colo de útero está associado a infecções pelo vírus HPV, e estima-se que 80% das mulheres sexualmente ativas no mundo serão infectadas em algum momento de suas vidas. Objetivo: Verificar o grau e percepção de conhecimento das mulheres vinculadas a determinadas unidades básicas de saúde do município de Araguari (MG), frente aspectos relacionados ao câncer de colo uterino (CCU). Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado com 103 pacientes mulheres, maiores de 18 anos, usuárias do serviço público de saúde, vinculadas a quaisquer atividades de saúde. Para coleta de dados foi utilizado o questionário “O que as mulheres sabem sobre CCU e HPV?”. Resultados: Constatou-se um predomínio de mulheres desempregadas ou profissionais liberais. Quanto ao arranjo familiar, o fato mais prevalente foi de ser mulher casada e com 2 filhos biológicos. Quanto aos domínios de conhecimento analisados no questionário, foi evidenciado que a proporção de respostas corretas foi significativamente maior nas mulheres com pós-graduação em relação aos demais níveis de escolaridade. Conclusão: Constatou-se uma concordância com a literatura acerca do grau de instrução e conhecimento. Nesse sentido, apesar das já existentes campanhas e programas voltados à prevenção do CCU terem possibilitado esse alcance das informações em diferentes níveis de escolaridade, verificou-se ainda lacunas no grau de conhecimento sobre a doença.
Personalidade antissocial, psicopatia e sociopatia: compreensão e aplicações na atividade policial militar
Authors: Penkal Rafael Cordasco , Caron Ricardo
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo propõe uma revisão sistemática e minuciosa da literatura acadêmica e científica existente sobre os conceitos de personalidade antissocial, psicopatia e sociopatia. Esta pesquisa meticulosa tem como principal objetivo contribuir significativamente para o aumento da eficiência das atividades realizadas pela polícia militar, além de ampliar a base de conhecimento científico relacionada aos transtornos de personalidade que estão intimamente ligados à criminalidade. Um aspecto crucial que é destacado neste estudo é a importância fundamental de entender profundamente o conceito de psicopatia, principalmente considerando sua intersecção complexa com fatores genéticos, as características do ambiente no qual o indivíduo está inserido e as funções cerebrais específicas. Tal compreensão, advinda de um estudo profundo e detalhado, pode impulsionar uma melhoria considerável em diversas práticas policiais. Isto inclui desde ações de prevenção e resposta a crimes, até aspectos mais específicos como a formação acadêmica e a capacitação contínua de profissionais da polícia. O conhecimento obtido a partir deste estudo sistemático sobre a psicopatia tem o potencial de informar e direcionar políticas públicas e práticas preventivas no âmbito do combate ao crime. Através da identificação de indivíduos em risco e do entendimento aprofundado sobre suas características e condições, é possível desenvolver e aplicar intervenções mais eficazes e direcionadas, o que pode resultar em benefícios significativos para a sociedade como um todo.
