Preparing Gene of interest for GateWay cloning (2 step PCR process) v1
Authors: Wolfram JWD Debler Johannes
Published: July 2019

GateWay recombination cloning is achieved by flanking your gene of interest with GateWay attachment sites. In our case attB1 and attB2. Those sites are added to the PCR product via primers with 5' extensions. Since those primes create 31 bp and 30 bp 5' primer extensions respectively, plus about 20 bp of actual binding primer sequence it becomes expensive fast if you need 2 x ~50 bp primers for every GOI. We therefore use a 2 step PCR process to attach GateWay attB1 and attB2 sites. We first run a gene specific PCR with primers carrying short 5' extesions, and then a second PCR utilizing universal GateWay primers which bind to the short extension of the first PCR product to create the full attB1 and attB2 sites. This protocol has been adapted from: 2-STEP GATEWAY PCR EXPERIMENTS
The Boundaries Between Folktale and Legend: «The Devil as Bridge Builder» in Catalan Tradition
Authors: Oriol Carme
Published: July 2019

Abstract: The theme of the devil offering to build a bridge in one night in exchange for the soul of the victim has a considerable presence in folk narrative and is widespread internationally. An analysis of the 27 Catalan versions featuring «the devil as bridge builder» as their protagonist shows that these stories vary in nature and can be presented in the form of legend, folktale or etiological story.

Authors: Sybil Deborah , Khan Imran , Kapoor Priyanka , Singhal Anshul , Jain Vanshika
Published: July 2019

The aim of this paper is to highlight the iatrogenic aspect of secondary cleft deformity, methodologies to treat them and the importance of reporting such cases. Secondary deformities are common in cleft lip and palate patients. Primary aim of treatment in cleft patients is to enhance their normal growth and development and minimize morbidity and number of operative procedures. Meticulous diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of primary surgery are of utmost importance in such cases to prevent majority of secondary deformities. Treatment of secondary deformity depends on the degree of deformity and the severity of impact on normal functions and growth. Following is a case of 16-year-old female patient who incurred secondary cleft deformities after undergoing multiple surgical interventions for congenital bilateral cleft lip alveolus and palate, last of which was conducted at the age of 6 years. Lip revision and tongue flap surgeries to close the palatal fistula were performed to address the patient’s complaint and improve quality of life. Performing a tongue flap for anterior palatal fistula was more successful than Bardach’s palatoplasty technique. It is important that each case encountered at various congenital defect care facilities is reported in literature to make the masses aware of probably outcomes and also help maintain a database to have more accurate data of such cases.

Authors: Dutta Heempali Das , Rayamajhi Pabina , Dutta Deepak
Published: July 2019

Background: Various factors are responsible for post MRM chronically discharging mastoid cavity which has to be identified and treated properly so as to avoid further complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the causative factors responsible for persistent ear discharge in post mastoidectomy cases and their management in paediatric age group.

Methods: This is a cross sectional study done from May 2013 to April 2017 in the Paediatric ENT unit of Department of ENT & HNS, TUTH, Kathmandu, Nepal. Children were evaluated for persistent ear discharge and managed for one year. Risk factors like high facial ridge, inadequate meatoplasty, unepithelize mastoid cavity, tympanic membrane perforation and residual or recurrent choleateatoma, infections, nasal or nasopharngeal pathology were evaluated and treated. Outcome of management was measured in terms of achieving dry mastoid cavity over one year period.  

Results: A total of 92 post MRM children with persistent discharge were included in the study. 33/92 (35.8%) had anatomical defects. Four cases had recurrent or residual cholesteatoma. 22/92 (23.9%) of the cases had granulation and infection. 14 cases had nasophayngeal inflammation and 13 cases had recurrent accumulation of wax or debris. After the treatment of various factors, 43/75 (53.7%) ear became dry within 3 months, 22/75 (29%) ear became dry within 6 months, 6/75 had persistent discharge even 1 year after treatment. Whereas, in 5/75 (13.4%) had on and off discharge.

Conclusions: The chronically discharging mastoid cavity can be well managed by early identification of causative factors.

Análise comportamental de padrões parentais a partir da noção de autocontrole e impulsividade
Authors: Jorge de Sousa Bruno , Coelho Cristiano
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo objetivou a análise conceitual de estilos ou padrões parentais a partir das noções de autocontrole e impulsividade encontradas na literatura sobre comportamento de escolha em Análise do Comportamento partindo-se da contextualização das discussões encontradas no desenvolvimento de ideias econômicas e suas críticas. A revisão sobre os modelos de estilos parentais de referência presentes na literatura sugere uma divergência entre os modelos explicativos tipológicos e produções em Análise do Comportamento. Proposições sobre escolha racional do campo da microeconomia e os desdobramentos a partir da crítica à racionalidade foram analisadas com apresentação das teorias da utilidade e dos prospectos. Considerando processos de impulsividade e autocontrole, o exame a partir da Análise do Comportamento indicou que as teorias normativas econômicas não preveem a reversão da preferência de escolhas parentais de métodos educacionais dos filhos em decorrência da alteração do valor subjetivo dos reforçadores por atraso e probabilidade. A análise relacionou escolha e preferência dos pais sobre métodos educacionais à imediaticidade e certeza do uso da punição no controle do comportamento filial, e atraso e probabilidade como parâmetros necessariamente encontrados no uso de reforço como método educacional, caracterizando respectivamente padrões parentais impulsivo e autocontrolado.

This article aimed at the conceptual analysis of parental styles based on the notions of self-control and impulsiveness found in the literature on behavior of choice in Behavior Analysis, from the contextualization of the discussions found in the development of economic ideas and their criticisms. The review of models of parenting styles of reference in the literature suggests a divergence between typological models and productions in Behavior Analysis. Propositions about the rational choice of the field of microeconomics and the unfolding from the critique to the rationality were analyzed with presentation of theories of utility and prospects. Considering processes of impulsivity and self-control, the analysis from the Behavior Analysis indicated that economic normative theories do not predict the reversal of the preference of parental choices of the educational methods of the children as a result of the alteration of the subjective value of the reinforcers by delay and probability. The analysis related parents' choice and preference about educational methods to the immediacy and certainty of the use of punishment in the control of filial behavior, and delay and probability as parameters necessarily found in the use of reinforcement as an educational method, respectively characterizing impulsive and self-controlled parental patterns.
Key words: Choice behavior. Parenting styles. Self-control. Impulsiveness.
Delfines de río: especies indicadoras del estado de salud de los ecosistemas acuáticos de la Amazonia y la Orinoquia
Authors: Trujillo-González Fernando , Mosquera-Guerra Federico , Franco Nicole
Published: July 2019

En el presente estudio se emplearon los tamaños poblacionales de dos géneros de delfines de río (Inia y Sotalia) como indicadores del estado de salud de 23 ecosistemas acuáticos asociados con las cuencas de los ríos Amazonas y Orinoco. La información se recopiló durante 30 expediciones científicas realizadas entre el 2006 y el 2017 en Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia, Brasil y Venezuela. Los resultados evidenciaron procesos de degradación ecosistémica en los ríos Caquetá, Putumayo, Iténez y Grande en la cuenca del Amazonas, y en el Tocantins- Araguaia, el Guaviare y la cuenca alta del Orinoco. Esta condición puede verse incrementada en las próximas décadas debido a la pérdida de conectividad entre los Andes y el Amazonas por la presencia de 142 hidroeléctricas ya existentes y 160 que están en fase de planeación y han sido propuestas para los ríos que drenan desde las cabeceras andinas al Amazonas. Los impactos ecosistémicos en las redes tróficas acuáticas de estos sistemas generados por este tipo de infraestructura se han estudiado poco. Los resultados del estudio aportan importantes elementos para entender los procesos de degradación ocasionados por la fragmentación y la pérdida de la conectividad fluvial en la Amazonia y la Orinoquia a partir de los tamaños poblacionales de los delfines de río. Estos cetáceos tienen variados requerimientos ecológicos y se han adaptado evolutivamente a los cambios estacionales predecibles. Estas características ecológicas convierten a los delfines de río en excelentes indicadores para entender las afectaciones en los pulsos de inundación y sus efectos sobre la funcionalidad ecosistémica de los complejos sistemas hidrográficos de las cuencas del Amazonas y el Orinoco. © 2019.

Flujo de CO2 del suelo bajo diferentes coberturas de la Reserva Forestal Protectora Bosque Oriental de Bogotá
Authors: Lopera María Catalina
Published: July 2019

El flujo de CO2 del suelo contribuye con las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y varía de acuerdo con la topografía, la calidad de los suelos, las características de la vegetación y los usos del suelo, entre otros. En este estudio se evaluó la variación del flujo de CO2 del suelo bajo tres coberturas vegetales de la Reserva Forestal Protectora Bosque Oriental de Bogotá y su relación con factores edafoclimáticos. Se escogieron tres sitios de muestreo por cobertura y se midió el flujo de CO2 del suelo en mayo, julio y septiembre del 2018. Se encontró que el flujo de CO2 del suelo fue mayor en las plantaciones de eucalipto y menor en los herbazales abiertos de páramo, y fue mayor en mayo (el mes con mayor precipitación), y menor en septiembre. Se encontraron relaciones positivas entre el flujo de CO2 y la temperatura del ambiente, la temperatura del suelo y la elevación. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que el tipo de cobertura vegetal y la temperatura son dos factores que determinan los procesos de respiración y flujo de CO2 del suelo. © 2019. Acad. Colomb. Cienc.

Authors: Portilla-Dorado Enmanuel , Villaquirán-Hurtado Andrés , Molano-Tobar Nancy
Published: July 2019

En el entrenamiento deportivo se plantea que, probablemente, la flexibilidad es la capacidad física que menos trabajo exige y cuyos resultados genera mayor controversia. Sin embargo, diversas técnicas de estiramiento se implementan como método para la prevención de lesiones. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar los cambios en la potencia del salto después de implementar dos programas de entrenamiento de la flexibilidad en deportistas de fútbol sala. Se hizo un estudio experimental con evaluaciones antes y después de la intervención, en el cual se aplicaron dos programas de entrenamiento de la flexibilidad de la musculatura isquiosural mediante la técnica de facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva y el uso del rodillo de espuma. Las pruebas de salto de los futbolistas participantes se evaluaron con electromiográfíca de los isquiosurales y pruebas de flexibilidad antes y después de la intervención. Se encontró un aumento significativo en la altura del salto con contramovimiento (Counter Movement Jump, CMJ) y del salto Abalakov en el grupo que utilizó el rodillo de espuma, en tanto que con la técnica de facilitación neuromuscular se logró un aumento en los valores del salto Abalakov y en el unipodal derecho en comparación con el grupo de control, con diferencias que presentaban significación estadística (p≤0,05). Se evidenció una disminución en la activación electromiográfíca de los músculos semitendinoso y bíceps femoral derecho durante el salto en cuclillas después de la intervención (p≤0,05). En conclusión, una adecuada planificación y estructuración del entrenamiento de la flexibilidad mediante el uso del rodillo de espuma y la facilitación neuromuscular propioceptiva permitieron mejorar la eficiencia de la contracción muscular y la capacidad de salto en deportistas de fútbol sala de Popayán. © 2019.

Apoptosis Inductionof Armeniacae Semen Extractin Human Acute Leukemia (NALM-6 and KG-1) Cells
Authors: Mosadegh Manshadi Shiva , Safavi Maliheh , Rostami Shahrbano , Nadali Fatemeh , Shams Ardekani Mohammad Reza
Published: July 2019

Background: Prunusarmeniaca is a member of the Rosacea family. The most important ingredient of this family is amygdalin that is believed to have anti-tumor and analgesic properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-proliferative effects of Armeniacae semen extract on the acute leukemia, NALM-6, and KG-1 cell lines, and investigate the effect of the extract on apoptosis of these cell lines and caspase-3 gene expression.
Materials and Methods: We prepared aqueous, ethyl acetate, and hydro alcoholic extracts of the Armeniacae semen. The NALM-6 and KG-1 cell lines and mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy controls were treated with different doses of the extracts for 48 hours, and then cell viability was investigated with the MTT test. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography was done for amygdalin identification. The percentage of apoptotic cells was determined using the Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometric kit, and caspase-3 gene expression was evaluated.
Results: MTT test revealed that the strongest Inhibition Concentration (IC50) in KG-1 and NALM-6 cell lines was related to the ethyl acetate extract. This extract did not have toxic effects on PBMCs. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the ethyl acetate extract at its IC50 concentration led to almost 50% apoptosis in both cell lines after 48 hours. In the molecular examination, after treatment, a significant increase was seen in caspase-3 gene expression in NALM6 and KG1 cells compared to the control (P<0.001 and P <0.05, respectively).
Conclusion: Our data confirmed that the ethyl acetate extract of Prunusarmeniaca could reduce the proliferation of KG-1 and NALM-6 cell lines probably by activating the apoptotic pathway.
Impact of Obesity on Lumbar Puncture Outcomes in Adults with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoma: Experience at an Academic Reference Center
Authors: Jaime-Pérez José Carlos , Sotomayor-Duque Guillermo , Aguilar-Calderón Patrizia , Salazar-Cavazos Lorena , Gómez-Almaguer David
Published: July 2019

Background: Lumbar puncture (LP) is a hematology procedure that can require repeated attempts leading to traumatic LP (TLP), which has been related to the central nervous system (CNS) relapse. LP success can depend on the size and anatomy of the patient and the skill of the hematologist. The main objective was to determine the influence of body mass index (BMI) on LP outcomes.
Materials and Methods: Adults with lymphoid malignancies requiring LP were included prospectively over one year; hematology residents performed most procedures. A 22-gauge Quincke needle was employed. Comparison between non-traumatic vs. traumatic LPs according to BMI, CNS relapse, and residents’ year was performed.
Results: Fifty-four patients with a mean age of 31.5±15.57 years were included. Diagnosis was Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-B (74%), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-T (13%) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (13%). 227 LPs were performed, 121 (53.3%) successful, 98 (43.2%) traumatic, 11 (11.2%) TLPs were macroscopically detectable and 87 (88%) microscopic; 8 (3.5%) were dry-taps. Median time between punctures was 11 days (1-202). Median BMI was 25 (22.8-39.6). Main indication for LP was prophylactic (74.5%); 39.2% were performed by first-year, 35.2% by second-year, 19.6% by third-year hematology residents. No difference (p = 0.145) for a TLP was found among residents. A BMI ≥30 (p = 0.040), non-palpable intervertebral space (p = 0.001) and more than one attempt (p = 0.001) were significant for TLP. TLP was not associated with CNS relapse (p = 0.962).
Conclusion: Obesity predicted a TLP. A traumatic puncture did not increase the risk of CNS relapse at one-year follow-up.
STAYING DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN DISASTER PRONE AREA: A GROUNDED THEORY METHOD STUDY ON FISHERMEN COMMUNITY IN SEMARANG COAST, INDONESIA
Authors: Amin Choirul , . Sukamdi , . Rijanta
Published: July 2019

Purpose of the Study: In an increasing migration driven by climate change disaster, there are people who remain to stay in disaster-prone areas. Even though there is little research on migration to understand non-migrant people, this study seeks to understand the staying decision making process and understand how and why people stay in disaster-prone areas.

Methodology: Grounded Theory Method (GTM) is used in this research. The qualitative approach in this study is intended to gain individual insights to reveal the process and steps of staying decision-making in disaster prone-areas.

Applications: This study was conducted in the Semarang coastal area, which is simultaneously prone to three disasters, i.e., sea level rise, land subsidence, and tidal inundation. The study shows that staying decision-making was taken in household units. The staying decision-making process consists of interactions between four components: availability of options, motives, expectations, and incentives.

Results: Exploring the decision to stay is an opportunity to understand migration processes in a new way. This research adds a conceptual study to the migration literature on the basis of existing theories to explain immobility in disaster-prone areas.

Synthesis and photophysical properties of usymmetrically substituted phthalocyanine-pyrene conjugate
Authors: PEKBELGİN KARAOĞLU Hande , KALKAN BURAT Ayfer
Published: July 2019

Unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine (Pc) bearing one pyrene (Py) and six tert-butylphenoxy units was synthesized in 3 steps. The unsymmetric zinc phthalocyanine carrying the protecting group was synthesized in the first step. In the second stage, the protecting group was removed and in the final stage pyrene structure was introduced under the condition of the Sonagashira coupling reaction. The new compound was characterized by using spectroscopic techniques. The photophysical measurements of the conjugated structure were performed to determine the effect of the pyrene group on the fluorescence of Pc. It was determined that the absorption of the pyrene structure around 350 nm was overlapping with the B-band of phthalocyanine after conjugation. Fluorescence quantum yield and lifetime were calculated. The fluorescence quenching examinations were performed by adding the different concentration of benzoquinone in DMF and the Ksv and kq values of unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine (5) were determined.

International tool “ECERS-R scale”: research of education quality comprehensive assessment of preschool education
Authors: Leksakova Nadezhda
Published: July 2019

We center on the issues of contemporary preschool education, priority objectives, educational environment quality and the problems of assessing its quality. We describe and substantiate different approaches used in assessing education quality. We pay attention to the description of ECERS-R methods “Scale for comprehensive assessment of education quality in preschool educational institutions”, the latest version of which has been pre-adapted and tested in Russian regions. We also analyze the experience of using this technique in other countries. We show that the ECERS-R method is not only highly reliable, but also plays an important role in preschoolers development, as the method tool has a high level of elaboration and is based on humanistic pedagogy ideas. In the context of contemporary Russian education, this technique is relevant, since the evaluation criteria given in it (sub-scales and indicators in the ECERS-R scale tools) have a direct analogy with the educational areas described in the Federal State Educational Standard of Preschool Education.
Educational services promotion in line with the experiential marketing philosophy
Authors: Prokhorov Andrey
Published: July 2019

We consider the aspects of experiential marketing development as a marketing philosophy. The direction of experiential marketing was developed in line with experience economy. The concept is based on the thesis that a product or service purchase is accompanied by the impressions formation from the purchase process, and the nature of these impressions determines the consumers’loyalty to the brand of the company that offers goods or services. Experiential marketing develops at the junction of relationship marketing, emotional marketing, event marketing and show marketing. Experiential marketing is designed to make the process of purchasing a product or service more personalized. Experiential marketing began to be applied in areas related to sales of impression (hotel, restaurant business, etc.). The idea of marketing is used in the process of promoting university educational services. We cover the event promotion cases of Derzhavin Tambov State University, the essence of which reflects the ideas of experiential marketing. As a case study, we focus on experience of holding a special event “Night at Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin”, aimed at development of positive impression among the guests. One of the “Night at Tambov State University named after G.R. Derzhavin” tasks was to demonstrate the university capabilities in an informal way, different from traditionally held events.
Concept of “End of History”: F. Fukuyama Views’ Evolution
Authors: Khristenko Dmitrii
Published: July 2019

We analyze the evolution of the Fukuyama’s views on the development of modern globalized world. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that this issue is not fully covered in the Russian scientific literature. In particular, little attention is paid to the Western critics of F. Fu-kuyama, who from the very beginning put forward serious remarks against his concept. We rely on a chronological method, in which the ideological evolution of F. Fukuyama correlates with key events in the history of international relations, for example, September 11th, 2001. It is proved, that as a result the American thinker seriously revised his famous concept of “the end of history”. Although Fukuyama still does not see any serious competition between liberal democracy and ri-val ideologies, he admits that there are fundamental problems in the system he proposed earlier. F. Fukuyama notes that the main peril for liberal democracy comes from its internal weaknesses, which are related to the biosocial nature of human and the structure of his inner personality. At the same time, F. Fukuyama acknowledges, it is impossible to suspend the development of technologies, specifically biotechnologies, and to predict the results that it can bring to the whole mankind. Because of that, we conclude that the “end of history” is postponed, and liberal democracy is only a short step in the endless spiral of the existence of human society.
Factors of formation self-development abilities among university students
Authors: Molokanova Elena
Published: July 2019

We substantiate the necessity of the student’s self-development ability formation in the conditions of multi-level educational programs implementation in a technical university. We ana-lyze various pedagogical and psychological approaches to the formulation and use in the relevant sciences concept of “self-development of a personality”. We explain the choice of a scientific ap-proach, in which self-development is defined as the process of purposeful activity of a personality in continuous self-transformation, conscious management of your own development, choice of goals, ways and means of self-improvement corresponding to your own life values and attitudes. We define one of the main tasks of technical universities – the task of updating and managing students’ professional education, the result of which is an organically formed personality capable of self-development through self-education and self-upbringing. We formulate external factors (scientific, academic, informational, social and sports bases of the university; research and professional activities at the educational stage; upbringing work under the guidance of lecturers and supervisors; academic work under the guidance of lecturers) and internal factors (factors contributing to students’ self-learning; factors contributing to the self-realization of your own plans and ideas) affecting the readiness for self-development of the future engineer. We substantiate the main external factor – the factor of personal influence of university professors on students’ self-development. Personal characteristics of the main types of technical university teachers are highlighted. We analyze the views of various scientific schools scientists on the problem of lecturer’s personality influence on the formation of self-education and self-development abilities of students.
Content of teaching written speech to students of “Journalism” programme
Authors: Syomich Yuliya
Published: July 2019

The development of written speech skills of students of non-linguistic programmes should be focused on the future professional activity of graduates. We consider three approaches to foreign language teaching for professional communication: foreign language for specific purposes, integrated subject-language teaching and teaching profile disciplines in a foreign language. We conclude that integrated subject-language teaching creates the most optimal conditions to study a foreign language and profile subject content. The analysis of works on the subject content selection of teaching students of non-linguistic programmes in the framework of integrated sub-ject-language teaching allowed to distinguish the content of teaching written speech to students of “Journalism” programme, which includes invariant and variable components. The invariant part of content of written speech teaching is characteristic for most of the humanitarian programmes and includes skills development for writing personal letter, essay, structural abstract, report, and filling out questionnaire. The variable part reflecting the specifics of the journalist’s professional activities will include the development of the following skills: a) informational genres: writing chronicle of events, informational correspondence, writing notes, an information report, informational interview, coverage, necrology, blitz survey; b) analytical genres: compile analytical report, analytical survey, conduct analytical correspondence, prepare analytical interview, write material in the conversation genre, comments, reviews, articles, journalistic investigation, outlooks, material in the media review genre, forecast, analytical press release.
Intermedial contexts of the coat of arms motif in lyrical poetry by Viktor Krivulin
Authors: Markov Alexander V.
Published: July 2019

Although the heraldry theme does not belong to the main poetry themes of Viktor Krivulin, it is indicative of his poetic reflections on the relationship between self-comprehension of the Russian authorities, the dynamics of Russian art development and the fate of a private person. V. Krivulin’s poems are adjacent to the poet’s numerous ekphrases in which the coat of arms acts as a lyrical motif and the marginality of the theme in his lyrical world proves some of the mechanisms of this type of ekphrasis. The coat of arms acts simultaneously as a representation of authority and an artifact or image, dependent on the general world art development and on the specifics of power and art relationship. Therefore, underlining in the coat of arms such aspects as collectibility, provocativeness, exoticism, correlates V. Krivulin’s heraldry poems with ekphrases, devoted to the presence of art in Saint-Petersburg and to the complex fate of artifacts in the vicissitudes of history. In V. Krivulin’s lyrical heraldry I trace the visual semiotics influence of the Tartu-Moscow semiotic school, primarily in understanding the unity of the material, form, perspective view and conditional symbols of coat of arms, which immediately recalls the method of analyzing iconography as a spiritual authority manifestation in the Russian structuralism. But at the same time V. Krivulin gives enough markers that distinguish the coat of arms from works of art, and thus showing the crisis status of art in the 20th century. I note that these coats of arms are not conditional, a reader can always find real prototypes of these coats of arms, and thus their function turns out to be a historical linkage of the lyrical plot to the historical one. Close reading of these verses allows to clarify relationship between ekphrasis and historical reflections, its paradox and dynamism in V. Krivulin’s lyrical poetry, thereby identifying in a new perspective a combination of deeply melancholic mood and satirical, almost close to Sots Art principles in his works.
Institute of incapacity in contemporary Russian law
Authors: Belyanskaya Olga Viktorovna
Published: July 2019

We analyze one of the most important legal properties of the individual - capacity, as well as conditions of recognition person as incapable. Institute of incapacity norms were formed in Roman law, and in contemporary legal systems they are an indicator of tolerance level towards various deviations in the social behavior of an individual. We give a brief analysis of the Roman law provisions on the factors and conditions for the capacity diminishment and the recognition of a person as incapable. In Ancient Rome, only free-born man had legal capacity and personal capacity, and the reason for capacity diminishment could be the state of health, disgrace, wastefulness. The basis of institute of incapacity legal regulation in Russian civil and criminal law is the basic provisions of Roman law, which have been transformed and reflect contemporary medical knowledge and ideas about the social status of citizens. Citizens with diminish capacity may be recognized on the basis of various circumstances; accordingly, there are different types of restrictions in the implementation of their rights. This is the basis for dividing the diminished capacity of a person into two types - full and partial. We analyze the conditions for partial diminish of capacity. We provide judgments of scientists on the need to introduce such grounds as video games addiction, gambling, and wastefulness. We assume that these circumstances should be taken into account upon making decisions on the capacity diminishment and develop the relevant judicial practice. We propose a new wording of paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 30 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Prospective mathematics teachers’ argumentation structure when constructing a mathematical proof: The importance of backing
Authors: Laamena Christina Martha , Nusantara Toto
Published: July 2019

[English]: This qualitative study with phenomenology design aims to investigate the use of backing and its relation to rebuttal and qualifier in prospective mathematics teachers’ (PMTs) argumentation when constructing a mathematical proof about algebraic function. The data were collected through subjects' works on the proof, recorded think-aloud data, and in-depth interviews. Data analysis was guided by Toulmin’s argumentation scheme. The results show that the PMTs used three types of backing, i.e., backing in the form of definitions or theorems (reference backing), examples of numbers (numerical backing) and graphs of functions (graphical backing). The PMTs utilized the backings to strengthen deductive and inductive warrant. A numerical backing is used when a warrant cannot justify the truth of a claim. Graphical backing is used to convince oneself about the truth of the data that has been made while the reference backing is only clarification when students have understood or have knowledge of the statement given. Numerical and graphical backing relate directly to rebuttal and provide counter-examples and qualifier of the claim. A numerical backing makes students more confident about claims that are generated compared to reference backing.

[Bahasa]: Penelitian kualitatif dengan desain fenomenologi ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki penggunaan backing dan hubungannya dengan rebuttal dan qualifier dalam membangun bukti matematika terkait fungsi aljabar oleh calon guru matematika. Data dikumpulkan melalui hasil kerja siswa, rekaman think aloud, dan wawancara mendalam. Analisis data merujuk pada skema argumentasi Toulmin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa backing yang digunakan siswa tidak hanya berbentuk teorema atau definisis (reference backing) tetapi juga contoh-contoh bilangan (numerical backing) dan grafik fungsi (graphical backing). Ketiga jenis backing tersebut untuk memperkuat warrant induktif maupun deduktif. Numerical backing digunakan ketika warrant tidak dapat menjustifikasi kebenaran klaim. Graphical backing digunakan untuk meyakinkan diri sendiri tentang kebenaran klaim yang telah dibuat sedangkan reference backing hanya bersifat klarifikasi karena siswa telah memahami pernyataan yang diberikan. Numerical backing dan graphical backing berhubungan langsung dengan rebuttal untuk memberikan contoh penyangkal dan jaminan kebenaran (qualifier) klaim. Numerical backing membuat siswa lebih percaya diri tentang klaim yang dihasilkan dibandingkan dengan reference backing.

A Rethinking of Upward Mobility Among Educated Women in the Public Sector in Rwanda
Authors: Benjamin Bizimana
Published: July 2019

A Rwandan saying literally articulates that the optimal development of a woman is vital to the development of the family. However, in Rwanda, women remain disadvantaged in terms of participation in top job hierarchies. This study explored upward mobility among educated women in the Public Sector in Rwanda. The study established that women’s lack confidence to compete for higher-level positions is the main cause of gender discrepancies in top-level positions (89.7%). Women rush to get married instead of going for higher Degrees (Master’s and PhD) (79.4%) and fewer women complete Bachelor’s Degree while the higher Degree is the screening device to access top-level positions (81%). The Main implications of this gender disparity are unequal distribution of income (95.6%) and low salary for women (75%). It was concluded that gender disparity in qualifications in top-level positions in Rwanda’s Public Sector deserves serious consideration to be alleviated.
Impacts of Water Hyacinth Treatment on Water Quality in a Tidal Estuarine Environment

Published: July 2019

Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an invasive species that has modified ecosystem functioning in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta), California, USA. Studies in lakes and rivers have shown that water hyacinth alters water quality. In tidal systems, such as the Delta, water moves back and forth through the water hyacinth patch so water quality directly outside the patch in either direction is likely to be impacted. In this study, we asked whether the presence or treatment of water hyacinth with herbicides resulted in changes in water quality in this tidal system. We combined existing datasets that were originally collected for permit compliance and long-term regional monitoring into a dataset that we analyzed with a before-after control-impact (BACI) framework. This approach allowed us to describe effects of presence and treatment of water hyacinth, while accounting for seasonal patterns in water quality. We found that although effects of treatment were not detectable when compared with water immediately upstream, dissolved oxygen and turbidity became more similar to regional water quality averages after treatment. Temperature became less similar to the regional average after treatment, but the magnitude of the change was small. Taken together, these results suggest that tidal hydrology exports the effects of water hyacinth upstream, just as river flow is known to transport the effects downstream, creating a buffer of altered water chemistry around patches. It also suggests that although water hyacinth has an effect on dissolved oxygen and turbidity, these parameters recover to regional averages after treatment.
The Optimal Tuning, within Carbon Limits, of Thermal Mass in Naturally Ventilated Buildings
Authors: Craig Salmaan
Published: July 2019

What proportions should a thermally massive building have? How should the thermal mass be distributed? Should the "massing" change with the choice of material? This paper shows how to optimize the physical proportions of a building so that it synchronizes ambient heat exchanges in a natural feedback cycle. The internal mass is thermally coupled with buoyancy ventilation; the cycle is driven by the daily swing of outdoor temperature. Tripling up functions in this way—so that structural materials can reliably cool and power the ventilation for buildings—could help decarbonize the construction industry and provide an effective strategy for adapting to life-threatening heatwaves. Based on harmonic analysis, the method allows designers to thermally tune the form and mass of a building to meet chosen targets for temperature and ventilation in free-running mode. Once the optimal balance of exchange rates is known, design teams can proportionally vary the building height and ventilation openings against the surface area and thickness of an internal thermal mass. The possible permutations are infinite but parametrically constrained, allowing teams to fairly compare the functional and environmental credentials of different construction materials while they produce and evaluate preliminary options for organizing the exterior form and interior spaces of a building. An example study suggests that thin-shell structures of minimum weight, and even timber buildings, may be optimally tuned to produce ample ventilation and temperature attenuation.
