Authors: Kumar Rajan , Raj Akanksha , Kumar Manoj , Kumar Deepak
Published: January 2023

Vitamin D dependent rickets (VDDR) type 2 is a very rare hereditary disease which has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Patients with VDDR type 2 have a mutation in the gene encoding for vitamin D receptor on chromosome 12q12-q14, thus averting normal physiological action of 1,25 vitamin D. It's presents with the developmental delay in motor domain with features of rickets usually in the first year of life. Alopecia totalis has a frequent association with the disease. We are reporting a case of a 5-year-old boy who has a history of difficulty walking since 2 year of life, with a gradually progressive motor weakness course. Patients have a history of alopecia since 2 months of age, which progressed to alopecia totalis. On investigation, serum calcium was 7.2 mg/dl with a very high alkaline phosphate level of 1065 IU/ML with a normal vitamin D level was reported. The initial treatment started with IV calcium followed by 1000mg of oral calcium, along with a high dose of calcitriol. The patient was under periodic follow-up showing improvement in biochemical parameters. We reviewed literature of seven patient out of which 5 patients had alopecia and found 2 patients had enamel hypoplasia and all had features of rickets.

Authors: Pasi Rachna , Ravi Kumar Satish
Published: January 2023

Wearing face mask can cut down the odds of infections entering sound individual as respiratory droplets/ aerosols while additionally lessening danger of ejection from contaminated individual. Respiratory transmission of CORONA VIRUS by means of droplets or aerosols can be forestalled by the suitable utilization of face mask. Since COVID-19 contamination has arisen as pandemic, entire world is bound to follow the COVID-appropriate behaviours. Among all actions to battle COVID contamination, most talked about and investigated is utilization of face mask. Utilization of face mask by grown-ups are likewise problematic, then, at that point, considering their utilization in kids are genuinely quite difficult. Many research studies have attempted to discover the relationship of mask and actual uneasiness or respiratory long-haul issues, however veils innocuously relating to these boundaries. This letter is to stress the use of mask with an affective domain of development of children. Development of children is partitioned into language, cognitive, affective and psychomotor development. Affective development is defined as ability to perceive and respond/ react to assortment of emotions from others.
Deep neck space infections: a study of 20 cases
Authors: Save Sneha L.
Published: January 2023

Background: Deep neck space infections is defined as infection in the potential spaces and fascial planes of the neck. Deep location and complexity of these spaces make diagnosis and treatment difficult. Proper diagnosis and immediate treatment is necessary to attain cure without any complications. Treatment principally comprises of airway management, surgical intervention i. e.; incision and drainage of the abscess and appropriate antibiotic treatment as per culture and sensitivity report.
Methods: Present study was performed from June 2015 to June 2016 and comprised of 20 cases. All patients coming to the OPD of tertiary care centre with suspected deep neck space infections. The demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, etiology, imaging and treatment of each case was reviewed.  
Results: We evaluated 20 patients with deep neck space infections. The mean age was found to be 40 years. Diabetes was found to be a co-morbid condition in 25% of the patients. Male: female ratio was 1:1.5. In the majority of cases, the etiological factor was found to be odontogenic infections (50%). Streptococcus pyogenes was the organism which was most commonly isolated. Ludwig’s angina was the most common clinical presentation (20%).  
Conclusions: Deep neck space infection is a life-threatening condition in diabetics, immune-compromised and elderly patients. Odontogenic infections were the most common etiology for deep neck space infections. There is need to establish secure airway before initiating surgical intervention. The widespread use of antibiotics has decreased the incidence of deep neck space infections, but remains a fairly common problem.

Published: January 2023

Background: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a high incidence affecting the quality of life of patients. The objective of the study was to explore the expression and clinical significance of IL-6 in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in the department of ENT, H&NS, Government Medical College, Srinagar. A total of 180 patients were included in the study, out of them 90 patients with allergic rhinitis were cases and 90 patients comprised the control group who did not have allergic rhinitis. The recorded data was compiled and entered in a spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel) and then exported to data editor of SPSS Version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA).
Results: A total of 184 patients participated in the study. The mean age in case group was 35.7±15.46 years compared to control group which was 37.1±12.89 years. There was male dominance in both the groups. Comparison of IL-6 levels as per severity of allergic rhinitis was assessed in this study and it was found that in patients with severe allergic rhinitis the mean IL-6 levels were 65.2±5.32; in moderate, patients had IL-6 levels of 52.8±5.84 and in mild patients had IL-6 levels of 46.7±6.81.
Conclusions: Clinical testing of IL-6 is likely to improve the diagnostic rate of early allergic rhinitis and help in halting the progression of disease and improve the patients prognosis and reduce symptoms and morbidity. Higher the levels of IL_6 more severe will be the allergic rhinitis.
Bilateral diffuse temporal bone osteoradionecrosis: a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
Authors: Orfao Joao , Carvalho Liliana , Pedrosa Gustavo , Durão Carolina , Boavida Margarida , Barbosa Leonel , Freire Filipe
Published: January 2023

Temporal bone osteoradionecrosis (TBORN) is a rare complication of head and neck radiotherapy. It usually presents as a unilateral disorder with a long latency between the exposition to radiation and the symptoms onset, which might overlap with other clinical entities, making it difficult to establish the diagnosis. It can be classified as localized, when confined to the tympanic bone; or diffuse, when extended to other portions of the temporal bone, with the inherent implication in treatment selection and prognosis. The authors present a case of a 53 years old patient with multiple comorbidities, including an immunosuppressive state, who presented an infected massive diffuse TBORN bilaterally. The diagnosis was challenging and the patient was initially treated for a malignant otitis externa, but after established diagnosis of TBORN, the patient was treated resorting to surgery, topical treatment and hyperbaric oxygenotherapy, with consequent symptoms resolution. This case illustrates the difficulty in establishing the diagnosing and treatment of TBORN and highlights the importance of a low suspicion threshold for this rare complication of radiotherapy, for which there is still no consensus regarding the best treatment.
Approximate models of air transport queueing systems with partial mutual assistance between service channels
Authors: Romanenko V. A.
Published: January 2023

Approximate analytical models are proposed for two types of multi-channel queuing systems with partial mutual assistance between channels and waiting in limited-size and unbounded queues. The incoming flow of requests is a superposition of several simplest flows. It is assumed that normative numbers of channels for servicing a customer that differ depending on the flow of incoming customer requests are established. In the systems of the first type the normative number of channels is not necessary: a customer is accepted for servicing if there are free channels in the system and the number of channels is smaller than the normative one. Service time is distributed exponentially with the average inversely proportional to the number of allocated channels. In systems of the second type the service of a customer is always performed by the channels of the normative number. Service time can be distributed arbitrarily (not only exponentially) with the average irrespective of the number of allocated channels. The paper presents the results of comparative analysis of the results of dealing with some tasks of designing service systems in a wide range of input data using simulation modelling and calculations based on approximate analytical models that allowed evaluating the application area of the latter and making a conclusion about their satisfactory accuracy. Examples of the use of models of technological processes of airport ground handling as queuing systems of the considered types are given.
Optical characteristics of a multilayer solar sail and their effect on its heliocentric motion
Authors: Rozhkov M. A.
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this work is to determine the influence of the optical characteristics of a thin multilayer solar sail on its orbital motion. First of all, the influence of the coefficients of reflection, scattering and absorption is investigated. These coefficients are computed on the basis of a mathematical model of the optical characteristics of a multilayer epitaxial thin film which is a solar sail itself. The paper considers the effect of temperature changes and sail surface degradation on its optical properties. Modeling of changes in optical characteristics is carried out drawing on an example of heliocentric flight from the Earth to Mercury applying locally optimal control laws. Applying the transfer matrix method and considering the distribution of solar spectral radiation optical parameters for two distinct constructions of a solar sail were obtained (aluminum and silver front coating).
Basic aspects of topological technology of automated on-board equipment layout in space vehicle compartments using the example of “Yantar-2k” Earth remote sensing space vehicle
Authors: Belyakov A. A. , Shulepov A. I.
Published: January 2023

The article presents the theoretical foundations of automated design of on-board equipment layout in spacecraft compartments in terms of topology. The purpose of the work is to create a flexible arrangement model that would allow solving the problem for any configuration of the structure, taking into account the engineering and operational restrictions imposed on the objects located in a limited space. The technology is formalized according to the methods of the foundations of topology and in this work is demonstrated for a two-dimensional case by comparing it with a reference design-layout scheme. The functional, installation, dimensional, thermal, vibroacoustic requirements are taken into account with the mass-centering restrictions of the layout. In the course of the study, a new approach to describing the design process of assembling on-board equipment was obtained, which can be fully digitized and then integrated into known computer-aided design systems. It has been verified using the example of the power supply system of the Yantar-2k spacecraft.

Authors: But V. S. , Kobelev A. A. , Karpeev S. V.
Published: January 2023

Microcells were designed for subsequent modeling of piezoelectric and optical elements on their basis. The development of piezoelectric and optical elements from microcells was carried out and models were prepared for 3D printing. These designs can be used in practice as piezoacoustic or piezoelectric sensors if piezoelectric powder is added to their composition, for example, in ultrasonic flow meters, or used to create optical structures, for example, diffractive optical elements. The key characteristics and coefficients of piezoelectric structures, such as dielectric constant, conversion coefficient, dielectric loss coefficient, mechanical Q-factor, frequency constant, electromechanical coupling coefficient, piezoelectric charge coefficient, piezoelectric stress coefficient, elastic compliance coefficient, degradation rate, Curie point are analyzed. Elements produced by 3D printing will have properties different from those of elements produced by standard methods. These structures open up new opportunities for the development of ultrasonic research, mechanical engineering and instrument making.

The article is devoted to the issues of countering the spread of counterfeit products on the territory of the Russian Federation in the conditions of the functioning of the EAEU . The article presents statistical information characterizing the work of Russian customs authorities in this area. The measures taken by the member states of the EAEU for labeling products are analyzed; the problems of ensuring the protection of intellectual property rights when using national registers of trademarks TROIS are considered. The author proposes measures to improve efficiency in ensuring the protection of intellectual property rights: harmonization of the legislation of the EAEU member states; take measures to make the EAEU TROIS work; creation at the supranational level of unified information systems, both in terms of functioning of the TRIP , and in terms of ensuring the traceability of labeled goods; law enforcement agencies should take comprehensive measures when investigating cases of administrative offenses and criminal cases, not limited only to identifying persons who directly sell counterfeit (falsified) goods, but should establish the entire chain of persons involved in offenses.
About the stages of exemption from criminal liability
Authors: Blagov E. V.
Published: January 2023

the article establishes and analyzes the periods of exemption from criminal liability, which has not previously been subjected to scientific understanding. It is concluded that the stages of exemption from criminal liability are the adoption and consolidation of the decision on exemption from criminal liability. The first stage is the thought process. Decisions made at this stage are divided into primary and secondary. The first include decisions a) on taking into account the relevant circumstances and b) on the type of release. Secondary decisions are recognized upon release with the appointment of a court fine about it, and upon release with the use of coercive measures of educational influence about them. The second stage of exemption from criminal liability consists solely in fixing in a certain criminal procedural act the results achieved at the first stage. The shortcomings of criminal and criminal procedure legislation and the practice of its application are shown, which make it difficult to adopt and consolidate a decision on exemption from criminal liability.
Guilt in the form of intent in tax relations
Authors: Farkhutdinov R. D.
Published: January 2023

Guilt in law is inextricably linked with the onset of responsibility, while having two forms negligence or direct intent. Guilt in modern law is commonly understood as a mental (intellectual and volitional) attitude to ones act and its consequences. Meanwhile, the tax authorities are required to determine the guilt in tax legal relations based on the results of tax audits within the framework of desk and field inspections. Meanwhile, a logical question remains which criteria of guilt are applicable in tax audits, in the absence of such in tax legislation, and which tools will indicate direct and indirect signs of guilt. The research methodology includes a systematic approach, a historical and comparative method, and a method of deduction. The purpose of the work will be proposals for the development of criteria for assessing the taxpayers guilt in the application of tax liability.
Barriers of Human and Nonhuman Agents’ Integration in Positive Hybrid Systems: The Relationship Between the Anthropocentrism, Artificial Intelligence Anxiety, and Attitudes Towards Humanoid Robots
Authors: Fortuna Paweł , Łysiak Małgorzata , Chumak Mykola , McNeill Monika
Published: January 2023

The article focuses on the analysis of subjective conditions for the integration of humans with humanoid robots. By interacting with each other, these units create hybrid systems that deserve to be called positive, as interactions with technological artifacts contribute to increasing the optimal functioning of users. An online survey-based study with 364 respondents was conducted that tested the relationship between anthropocentric beliefs of individuals, attitudes towards, and interactions with humanoid robots. It was found that this relationship is positive and is mediated by the aspects of fear of artificial intelligence (AI) related to the perception of AI-driven agents as scary and intimidating and by anxiety caused by the fear of their strong expansion (e.g., in the labor market). The significant strength of the relationship is an important clue for people designing hybrid systems (e.g., in the workplace), especially in conservative societies whose representatives are sensitive to the position humans in the hierarchy of entities.

Multiple drug resistance (MDR) among bacterial pathogens is a growing concern that clinicians are facing worldwide. Diarrhea among infants is frequent and is caused by various bacterial and viral infectious agents. Two hundred and twelve stool specimens were collected from pediatric patients from a rural quaternary hospital in Barshi, Sholapur, India, between March and December 2017. Total 180 specimens were positive for various bacterial pathogens, while the remaining 32 diarrhea cases may have been caused by a viral or uncultured bacterial pathogen. Identification of the bacterium and its antibiotic susceptibility were primarily carried out with VITEK-2. Distribution of diarrhea-causing bacteria among the 180 samples was as follows: 61.11% (110) Escherichia coli, 30.55% (55) Klebsiella pneumoniae, 4.44% (8) Proteus mirabilis, 2.22% (4) Shigella spp. 1.11% (2) Morganella morganii and 0.55% (1) each for Enterobacter cloacae and Citrobacter koseri. There was a co-existence of multiple genetic traits conferring extreme drug resistance (XDR) status to 19 isolates, 17 of which were determined to be E. coli and one each of E. cloacae and C. koseri. Antibiotype determination using VITEK-2 and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the genetic traits indicated the co-existence of blaTEM and blaCTX-M15 isolates in all 19 isolates, with the exception of E. cloacae. Results showed that 10 out of 19 strains expressed the AmpC cephalosporinase blaCMY-2 gene, whereas metallo-carbapenemase was expressed in four isolates. Distribution of blaNDM-11 and acquired penicillinase blaSHV-1 resistance among 180 clinical isolates is discussed in the light of ESBL traits. This is the first report from the rural part of Maharashtra India showing that as many as 10.55% of the pathogenic strains were XDR, a step ahead of MDR.
Youths and agribusiness development in Kenya
Authors: Abwao Martin
Published: January 2023

In many parts of the world, agriculture has been left for the old people and illiterate men and women in the rural areas. Unfortunately, these people view agribusiness with a lot of suspicion. For them, agribusiness is synonymous with big business/ capital, transnational corporations, globalization, international capital, export crops and large-scale plantations. More often than not, these are seen to culminate into exploitation of local people and resources.Adoption of new technology, inputs and engagement with new markets are critical for the enhancement of agricultural productivity in Kenya. With the new free primary and secondary education in Kenya, a higher population of youths are literate hence able to adopt new technology and engage with the new markets in the agricultural industry. Since agribusiness is all about innovation in line with value addition, youths are privileged to have technological, mental and physical capacity to think and execute accordingly.When projecting into the future of agribusiness in Kenya, the youths are inevitably vital. It is also undoubted fact that the critical role played by agribusiness in agri-food sector requires high level of flexibility and dynamism among the people involved.This vibrant agriculture will lead to fairly adequate availability of employment opportunities within the sector. Specifically, jobs will move from informal to formal, small scale organizations to formal and large scale; from artisan to more industrial processing; from wet market to store based retail and small market centers will grow to towns and cities.The main objective of this research is to find out the diverse potentials among the youths that are essential for agribusiness development in Kenya. It will focus on knowledge or literacy levels among the youths; ability to think or innovate, training potentials and health conditions among others. It will also look into the physical resources available at their disposal e.g land size, shelter, livestock, capital etc. We will also go an extra mile to find various challenges that discourages youths from engaging in agribusiness ventures. The results of these findings will enable us to conclude whether the youths are indeed essential for the agribusiness development in Kenya or not.

Introduction. The aim of this survey was to assess the use of spinal anesthesia for abdominal surgery among anesthesia practitioners in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. A questionnaire was distributed among the participants at the 37th Congress of the Society of Anesthesia-intensive Care Medicine of French-Speaking Africa held in Cotonou, Benin from November 23 to 25, 2022. Participants working in abdominal surgery anesthesia were selected randomly. The most relevant variables for evaluation were the use of spinal anesthesia, type of abdominal surgery, the type of local anesthetic, the additive of anesthetic, the satisfaction of the patients, the acceptance of this anesthesia by the surgeon and the reasons of switching from spinal to general anesthesia. Results. The study included forty-eight anesthesiologists from different nationalities in French-speaking Africa. Most of those practitioners were Anesthetist-Intensive Care Doctors (71%), 44% had between 10 and 15 years of professional experience. Spinal anesthesia is used for laparotomies by 83% of anesthetists. According to the type of surgery, inguinal hernia (85%), hysterectomy (69%) and myomectomy (75%) were found to be the most indications. Participants reported that 79% of the surgeons readily accept performing a laparotomy under spinal anesthesia, and patients are satisfied in 86% of cases. Bupivacaine and Fentanyl are the most local anesthetic used (79%). As adjuvants Morphine and Clonidine were used in 58% and 40% of cases, respectively. The main reasons for switching from spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia (GA) was the failure of spinal anesthesia (48%), followed by long duration of the intervention (19%). Conclusion. The use of spinal anesthesia is reserved mostly by anesthesiologists for lower laparotomies and never for upper laparotomies. There is not enough data to support the evidence that spinal anesthesia can used safely in emergencies situations for supra-mesocolic laparotomies, especially for peritonitis. This call clinical studies which can demonstrate the feasibility, security et safety of laparotomy performed under spinal anesthesia in limited resources settings.
Protection and Fulfillment of the Right to a Good and Healthy Environment in Wadas Communities
Authors: Sodikin
Published: January 2023

Development as one of the rights to a better life has forgotten environmental factors. The environment has been damaged by development activities. Environmental damage also results in human rights violations. The construction of the Bener dam using materials from andesite has damaged the environment, resulting in violations of human rights in the village of Wadas. The problem is how to protect and fulfill the right to a good and healthy environment due to the construction of the Bener Dam. The results of the study explain that the construction of the Bener dam has caused conflict and people's resistance to the government, because natural resources such as andesite stones have been exploited, thus destroying the environment where the Wadas people live which results in violations of human rights. The protection and fulfillment of the right to a good and healthy environment through existing laws and regulations has not been able to resolve community demands for rights. Likewise the demand for justice by filing a lawsuit to the court, both the Semarang State Administrative Court and the Supreme Court have also not received justice in accordance with their demands, namely obtaining the right to a good and healthy environment.

Authors: Zhao Wen , Nuangjamnong Chompu
Published: January 2023

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the effects of work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion, and job performance on job satisfaction and affective commitment. Design/Methodology/Approach – Through the use of archival study methodology and secondary data analysis, this research will investigate the variables that influence work satisfaction and emotional commitment. To develop a new conceptual framework, this study combined four theories from earlier investigations. Findings – It was discovered that emotional exhaustion and work-family conflict were associated. The ability to perform at work is impacted by emotional exhaustion. Second, job satisfaction is impacted by both emotional exhaustion and job performance. Finally, there is a high correlation between emotional commitment and job satisfaction when it comes to work-family conflict. Research Limitations/Implications – Investigations on the variables influencing job satisfaction and affective commitment among Chinese small businesses are constrained by a number of considerations. Firstly, this study is limited by sample size and data collection method. Secondly, many people are changing the way they work as a result of the pandemic, so there may be more factors affecting job satisfaction and emotional commitment than the ones suggested by the researchers. Originality/value – In this study, the significant influencing factors that have an impact on work satisfaction and emotional commitment are discussed.
Polski Ład z perspektywy zasad poprawnej legislacji

Published: January 2023

Polish Deal from the perspective of correct legislation. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyse the legislative process of regulations introduced under the so-called of Polish Deal, which was carried out on the basis of the principles of decent legislation. For the purposes of the analysis, two principles of decent legislation were selected, i.e. the principle of specificity of regulations and the principle of compliance with the lawmaking procedure by the legislator. In addition, due to the tax nature of the regulations, they were also analysed based on the principle of legal certainty. Design/methodology/approach: In the paper the comparative legal method (consisting in the analysis of legal acts, literature and jurisprudence) was used. At the beginning, the principles of decent legislation and the principle of legal certainty are briefly characterized. Then, the legislative process of changes introduced as part of Polish Deal was analysed in order to indicate examples of its elements that could violate the above principles. Findings: The numerous irregularities in the legislative process concerning Polish Deal described in this study confirm that the principles of proper legislation and legal certainty were violated in its course. The essence of these principles implies the necessity to enact laws that will implement the principle of specificity of provisions and with the observance of the appropriate procedure for its enactment. Meanwhile, the acts covered by Polish Deal were processed quickly, in violation of such important principles as, e.g., keeping an appropriate period of vacatio legis, which in the case of establishing the tribute law may have particularly unfavorable effects, because they affect the taxpayers’ income and property sphere, and may destabilise state tax system. Other shortcomings of the legislative process that violated the principles of proper legislation were the lack of public consultations on bills covered by Polish Deal, or the poor substantive quality of the regulatory impact assessment that applied to them.
Polski Ład z perspektywy wsparcia innowacji
Authors: Cieślukowski Maciej
Published: January 2023

Polish Deal from the perspective of supporting innovation. Purpose: To present the construction of tax reliefs for innovations in companies and attempt to generally assess their effectiveness against the background of the degree of use of similar solutions in other countries. Design/methodology/approach: The study is of a literature and empirical character. The research consists of five stages. The first stage describes the degree of innovation in economies in the world. The second stage presents the system of public suport of innovation in OECD countries (direct subsidies and tax reliefs). In the third part the conception of a tax relief and its role in the public policy is explained. The next two parts present constraction of new tax reliefs in income taxes in Poland. Summary includes a general assessment of new tax instruments. Findings: The degree of innovation in economies varies, but the leading countries have been fairly stable for many years. They dominate, among others Western European countries, the United States, South Korea. OECD countries support the development of innovation with subsidies and tax allowances, mainly reliefs for R&D activity. The main beneficiaries of the support are SME. The share of the granted allowances in GDP is growing dynamically. This proves that tax reliefs are an important tool for stimulating innovative activity, mainly in smaller enterprises. The use of the concessions varies across individual countries, and this instrument is successfully used by both better and less developed countries. However, taking into account the size of the granted allowances in GDP, in 2019 selected countries of Western Europe, along with Canada and South Korea, dominated. Unfortunately, Poland fares very poorly compared to the EU countries and even the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of the degree of innovation in the economy, as well as in terms of public support for innovation. The structure and rules of new tax reliefs are rather simple and transparent, and thus should not be a problem for entrepreneurs from a formal point of view. Consequently, the mere fact that the allowances in question were introduced into the tax system must be regarded as appropriate. On the other hand, another issue is the actual degree of interest and use of the reliefs by the entrepreneurs themselves. Reliefs usually consist in deducting the relevant expenses from the income from economic activity, so the real condition is first to achieve a sufficiently high income. In this context, non-returnable subsidies seem to be a more attractive solution than allowances for smaller entrepreneurs. So far, the interest of entrepreneurs in investment tax reliefs in Poland has been quite weak.

Electra's three performances by Antoine Vitez
Authors: Barillé Bénédicte
Published: January 2023

Cet article se propose d’étudier la relation particulière qu’Antoine Vitez entretient avec l’Électre de Sophocle. À trois reprises, en 1966, en 1971 et en 1986, il traduisit et mit en scène cette pièce différemment. Vitez distingue dans l’œuvre de Sophocle deux niveaux de lecture, celle du fait divers, la pauvre fille, pleurant sur son père assassiné et appelant son frère à la vengeance contre leur mère et son amant, et sa valeur allégorique, l’insoumission face à l’usurpation, la résistance à la tyrannie. Ces trois mises en scène sont intrinsèquement liées. Elles matérialisent la tension qui définit pour Vitez l’art théâtral, cette polarité du mythe, entre l’universel et le particulier, porteur à la fois du passé, du présent et de l’avenir. Le théâtre est le lieu de la contradiction. À travers cette tension permanente, Vitez met en scène sa propre réflexion critique.

Background: Theileriosis is a haemoprotozoan illness that poses severe economic loss to dairy farmers due to its negative impact on mortality and productivity, especially in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Methods: The present study was conducted for a period of one year (June 2020 to July 2021) during which 55 blood samples of cattle showing clinical signs suggestive of theileriosis were examined and quantified by using multiplex real time PCR for Theileria orientalis and Theileria annulata using Taq-Man probe. Result: Prevalence of theileriosis in three Theileria-endemic districts of Odisha due to Theileria annulata and Theileria orientalis were 26.11 per cent (11/42) and 57.14 per cent (24/42), respectively. Mixed infection were reported in 16.6 percent (7/42) cases. Parasite load for T. annulata in clinically affected cases ranged from 2.85×103 to 1.51×105 parasites per ml of blood while for T. orientalis, it ranged from 1.94×104 to 5.88×105 parasites per ml of blood. Ten cattle positive for T. orientalis were administered two doses of buparvaquone (Butalex) @2.5 mg/kg b.w. at an interval of 48 hours after which degree of parasitemia were quantified ten days post treatment. The parasitic load in blood ten days post treatment decreased significantly from 4.04×104 to 2.21×102 per ml of blood.

Background: In reverse genetics studies, minigenomes of negative sense RNA viruses are used to model the process of virus replication and evaluate the virus rescue system in the course of construction of recombinant virus. In the current study, a minigenome (MG) rescue system for lentogenic D58 vaccine strain of Avian orthoavulavirus 1 (AOAV-1) (Newcastle disease virus) was developed to establish a reverse genetic system for this strain. Methods: The minigenome was constructed by assembling the trailer and leader regions of AOAV-1 D58 strain flanking the reporter gene, Aequorea coerulescens green fluorescence protein (AcGFP) in a modified transcription vector. Construction of this Minigenome was done using a simple restriction free technique-Splicing by Overlap Extension PCR. The constructed minigenome was evaluated for the reporter gene expression by transfection in T7 RNA polymerase expressing BSR/T7 cell line. Further, the replication and packaging ability of the constructed minigenome were also analyzed. Result: The reporter gene expression was confirmed in BSR/T7 cells which simulates the virus replication process and verifies the virus rescue system. In addition, this proves the applicability of restriction free cloning by Splicing by Overlap Extension (SOE) PCR for precise construction of the minigenome. The developed minigenome system can be used as a potential tool in the reverse genetic rescue of AOAV-1 D58 strain for the development of marker vaccine.

Este artigo analisa os desafios dos movimentos sociais e da Educação do Campo na Amazônia. Apresentaremos a atuação dos movimentos sociais, no que diz respeito à implantação de políticas públicas para o campo no Brasil e o caso amapaense, a partir da origem do curso de Técnico em Meio Ambiente, por meio do Pronera. Metodologicamente realizamos revisão de literatura para compreensão do conceito de movimentos sociais e análise qualitativa a partir de questionários semiestruturados, aplicados aos alunos e membros das comunidades assentadas. Os resultados sugerem que uma das características desta Educação do Campo é a dependência política da população em relação ao Estado. No caso amapaense, há pouca articulação entre os movimentos sociais e a população. O Amapá ainda caminha na contramão do que é defendido pelos movimentos sociais, em que a própria realidade dos alunos seja determinante da estrutura curricular dessas escolas e protagonista de sua metodologia de ensino.

No presente trabalho, o objetivo é socializar os resultados da I Semana Acadêmica de Recepção aos Alunos da EaD desenvolvida em uma Universidade Pública no Norte do Paraná pelo seu Núcleo de Educação a Distância (NEAD), em parceria com o Grupo de Pesquisa Letramentos Digitais: perspectivas teórico-metodológicas no ensino e aprendizagem e na formação docente, para recepcionar e ambientalizar seus novos alunos. Em termos metodológicos, o evento foi realizado totalmente de forma síncrona: palestras e mesas-redondas foram transmitidas pelo YouTube, Moodle e Google Meet. Por se tratar de um relato de experiência, utilizaram-se como instrumentos para a descrição das informações a ficha de inscrição no evento, as listas de presença elaboradas via Google Forms, e a participação dos alunos nos chats e fóruns. A análise dessas interações e participações foi empreendida de forma qualitativa, em uma epistemologia de pesquisa interpretativista. Ao se considerar que a composição da universidade é organizada por cursos distintos, os quais compreendem a graduação e a pós-graduação, com áreas de saberes diferentes, é natural que haja certo distanciamento entre os alunos desses cursos. Tal característica se intensifica quando se pensa nessa mesma oferta na Educação a Distância (EaD). Muitas vezes, limitados aos polos de apoio presencial, os estudantes reduzem sua interação, quase sempre, à sua turma e às plataformas digitais de aprendizagem. Todavia, embora comum, esse distanciamento não se faz necessário, por isso criar estratégias que promovam a integração entre os cursos traz, para além das trocas de experiências, o sentimento de pertencimento, característica fundamental para se combater a evasão. Além disso, discutir a questão da presencialidade é de crucial importância nesse cenário educacional. Como resultados, salienta-se a importância de oportunizar espaços que promovam discussões relativas ao papel da universidade na formação de seus alunos enquanto cidadãos, agentes crítico-reflexivos, em todas as áreas do conhecimento, contribuindo de modo significativo para o controle da evasão e da melhoria em termos de participação mais efetiva em todas as atividades que lhes forem ofertadas.

Este trabalho visa investigar se as práticas de Metodologias Ativas e Ensino Híbrido irão contribuir para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos na disciplina de Geografia. Objetiva verificar se a aplicação da metodologia ativa e o ensino híbrido, como instrumentos pedagógicos possíveis para alcançar os objetivos educacionais neste momento de distanciamento social. A pesquisa será inicialmente desenvolvida a partir da revisão bibliográfica e por meio da abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa propondo-se a verificar se as metodologias ativas fazem parte do plano de ensino da escola em estudo. E para conhecer o universo pesquisado, serão aplicados questionários por meio do Google Forms com os professores e alunos. Também serão realizadas visitas de observação, de forma a caracterizar a escola e seus espaços voltados para o uso das novas tecnologias, como o Ensino Híbrido. Realizar-se-á visitas e observações “in loco”, para compreender as formas pelas quais os professores articulam as tecnologias, como o Ensino Híbrido nas suas práticas pedagógicas. Tendo posse dos dados coletados na pesquisa passaremos para a descrição e confirmação dos objetivos. Conclui-se que o ensino híbrido não substitui o ensino presencial, mas eles se completam na aprendizagem do aluno. Assim, as metodologias ativas e as tecnologias digitais contribuem na articulação dos saberes entre professor e aluno, no compartilhamento das experiências e no desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico.
A FORMAÇÃO DOS SUJEITOS SOCIAIS POTENCIALIZADA PELA CIBERCULTURA: desafios e possibilidades
Authors: Oliveira dos Santos Renata , Furlan Costa Maria Luisa
Published: January 2023

O que funcionava antes, como imutável, hoje flui na busca constante de aprender, manifestar saberes e de criar conhecimento, por meio da memória que pode ser armazenada em diversos bancos de dados, da imaginação, da percepção que permitem um acesso diferente à informação e às novas maneiras de pensar. Na era da virtualização, é errôneo pensar que estamos vivendo no irreal. Os espaços virtuais, hoje, são uma espécie de extensão do próprio homem que passou a estabelecer suas relações dentro de um ciberespaço. Este tende a potencializar uma conexão social que não se traduz apenas na representação da mídia tradicional, mas se apresenta como um caminho da abertura de outros espaços públicos de discussões, a partir do estar junto virtualmente, auxiliando na constituição de vínculos sociais e fortalecendo as relações humanas na atual sociedade. Tantas mudanças implicam debates sobre o desenvolvimento do sujeito social mediado pelo digital e o papel da educação. Este texto de caráter qualitativo e revisão bibliográfica tem como objetivo promover uma reflexão sobre a cibercultura, os sujeitos sociais e o repensar do processo de educação.

Este artigo apresenta e discute uma prática pedagógica cocriada no contexto do componente curricular Seminário Temático “Educação & Transformação Digital”, um dos produtos que tem origem na relação entre duas pesquisas desenvolvidas em nível de internacionalização: “Transformação Digital e Humanidades: Educação e Comunicação em Movimento”(CAPES PrInt) e “O Urbano e o Pós-Urbano como Espaços de Aprendizagem: formação de professores e pesquisadores na cultura híbrida e multimodal” (FAPERGS). A Atividade Acadêmica é ofertada, conjuntamente, na modalidade on-line, para mestrandos e doutorandos dos programas de Pós-Graduação da Unisinos e da Universidade Aberta de Portugal (UAb). O referido seminário visou problematizar os desafios e cenários emergentes na área da Educação Digital e, também, como as diferentes instituições estão se apropriando das transformações digitais a fim de provocar inovações na Educação. A pesquisa é de natureza exploratória e descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, e se apropria do Método Cartográfico de Pesquisa-Intervenção, para produção e análise de dados. Nesse sentido, como um dos resultados do percurso investigativo e problematizador realizado no Seminário, emergiu a vivência “Novas Aventuras de Dom Quixote”, uma prática pedagógica inventiva. Esta vivência, fundamentada nas Epistemologias Reticulares e Conectivas, foi cocriada na perspectiva de uma Educação online/onlife, objetivando a apropriação de diferentes Tecnologias Digitais (TD), no enfrentamento de desafios contemporâneos de aprendizagem e que buscou instigar a apropriação das mesmas, no sentido de compreendê-las enquanto potência, que pode contribuir para propiciar vivências de aprendizagem e a ampliação dos espaços educacionais, uma vez que possibilitam a transubstanciação da educação, do espaço físico das instituições educacionais, para o formato on-line.
