McQuilliam, SJ, Clark, DR, Erskine, RM, and Brownlee, TE. The effect of high vs. moderate-intensity resistance training on strength, power and muscle soreness in male academy soccer players. J Strength Cond Res 37(6): 1250–1258, 2023—The aims of this study were to investigate the impact of high-intensity, low-volume (HRT) vs. moderate-intensity, and high-volume resistance training (MRT) vs. soccer training only (control group [CON]) on changes in strength, power, and speed and to compare delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) between groups in male academy soccer players (ASP). Twenty-two ASP (age: 18 ± 1 years) were assigned to HRT (n = 8), MRT (n = 7), or CON (n = 7). High-intensity resistance training completed 2 sets of 4 repetitions parallel back squat (PBS) repetitions at 90% 1 repetition maximum (1RM), while MRT performed 3 sets of 8 repetitions PBS repetitions at 80% 1RM, both once a week for 6 weeks in-season, alongside regular soccer training. All groups completed the following pretraining and posttraining assessments: 3RM PBS, bilateral vertical and horizontal countermovement jumps (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and 30-m sprint. Delayed onset muscle soreness was assessed using a visual analog scale throughout training. High-intensity resistance training and MRT experienced similar increases compared with CON in absolute PBS 3RM (p < 0.001), SJ height (p = 0.001), and CMJ height (p = 0.008) after training. There was a greater increase in PBS 3RM relative to body mass after HRT than MRT and CON (p = 0.001) and horizontal CMJ distance improved in HRT but not in MRT or CON (p = 0.011). There was no change in 10-m, 20-m, or 30-m sprint performance in any group. High-intensity resistance training volume was 58 ± 15% lower than that of MRT (p < 0.001), and DOMS measured throughout training did not differ between groups (p = 0.487). These findings suggest that 1 HRT session a week may be an efficient method for improving strength and power in ASP in-season with minimal DOMS.
CONHECIMENTO, CRENÇAS E QUESTÃO RACIAL NO BRASIL
Authors: Ferreira Alves Adeir
Published: January 2023

O sistema de crenças atua segundo uma combinação não regular de modos de conhecer e de lidar com o conhecimento dentro e fora da academia no Ocidente. Embora ele tenha suas distinções onto-epistêmicas, o campo de atuação do sistema de crenças é o sujeito do conhecimento e suas dimensões (subjetividades, cosmovisões, quadros de compreensões). O presente estudo objetiva compreender filosoficamente as narrativas do sistema de crenças e o fazer acadêmico no macro sistema que os envolve: o colonialismo e suas performances. As crenças (sobretudo, aquelas vinculadas às religiões e aos segmentos hegemônicos) transitam entre categorias de estudos científicos e do senso comum, mas demarcando sempre o interesse principal de manutenção da dominação colonial pela alienação de massa. Apresento, também, uma nova academia que vem juntando inteligências, identidades e epistemes contracoloniais para inscrever na história da ciência outras formas de conhecimento, especialmente a partir das questões de raça, de gênero e de classe.
PROCESSUALIDADES E CONSTRUÇÕES
Authors: Beatriz Nunes Gomes Mara , Vinicius Spolle Marcus
Published: January 2023

A perspectiva interseccional, enquanto ferramenta político-teórico-metodológica, apresenta a dimensão de aglutinar simultaneamente as diversas camadas de estratificação e opressão. Tal funcionalidade contém a vantagem de conferir nitidez e visibilidade às novas e distintas discriminações que emergem desse cenário de agregação das múltiplas adscrições. Nessa trilha, sob a retícula interseccional, este artigo aborda as processualidades e os movimentos políticos não lineares que orbitam em torno do histórico de construção da agenda de ações afirmativas destinadas à população negra no Brasil. Para tanto, o trabalho foi estruturado conforme os seguintes eixos: 1) perspectiva conceitual da expressão ações afirmativas e discussões quanto à sua origem; 2) retrospectiva histórica da agenda de concretização das ações afirmativas no Brasil; 3) problematização à luz do olhar interseccional quanto ao rol de opressões e estratificações agenciado no roteiro de implementação das ações afirmativas no contexto brasileiro. Essa mirada permitiu compreender, em linhas gerais, que a demanda dos movimentos negros pela operacionalização de ações afirmativas possibilitou a construção de amplo conglomerado de ferramentas de direitos humanos.
INTERSECCIONALIDADE OU CONSUBSTANCIALIDADE
Authors: Kovalczuk de Oliveira Garcia Amanda
Published: January 2023

O artigo propõe um estudo teórico-exploratório de duas perspectivas analíticas diferentes para a compreensão de gênero, raça e classe, além de outros marcadores sociais, como idade, sexualidade, nacionalidade, etnia, religião e deficiência: a interseccionalidade e a consubstancialidade. Busca-se desenvolver um exercício reflexivo sobre elas, apresentando seus fundamentos teóricos, assim como articulando possíveis pontos de encontro e divergência. Para tanto, parte-se da interseccionalidade, a perspectiva mais difundida nos estudos sobre gênero atualmente, cuja origem remonta ao feminismo negro estadunidense, para seguir para a apresentação daquela menos destacada no debate, a consubstancialidade, ligada sobretudo ao feminismo materialista francês. A análise das divergências entre as duas perspectivas é organizada em quatro itens: primeiro, o uso de categorias descritivas de identidade ou relações sociais; segundo, a mobilização de metáforas de entrecruzamento de eixos ou de espiral; terceiro, as diferentes concepções acerca da relacionalidade; quarto, o favorecimento de determinadas dimensões de gênero, raça e classe. Por fim, argumenta-se que o uso da interseccionalidade e da consubstancialidade produz diferentes implicações analíticas, tanto de ordem metateórica quanto de abrangência dos fenômenos sociais, de maneira que sua aplicação pelos pesquisadores deve ser estratégica, consciente e não intercambiável. Sem sugerir a primazia de uma perspectiva sobre a outra, objetiva-se contribuir para complexificar o debate sobre os marcadores sociais da diferença, acrescentando pluralidade às discussões teórico-analíticas.
FEMINISMO INTERSECCIONAL
Authors: De Oliveira Lorena , Maria Murad Eduarda
Published: January 2023

O artigo analisa as conexões entre o feminismo transnacional, a interseccionalidade e a decolonialidade. Primeiramente, a análise consistiu em um resgate histórico e conceitual da interseccionalidade, relacionando-a com os movimentos sociais e, posteriormente, com o campo científico. Nessa análise, as experiências do movimento feminista negro permitiram relacionar a prática de resistência e luta com o campo teórico, o que gerou a ampliação do conceito de interseccionalidade para além do trinômio gênero, raça e classe. No decorrer do estudo, exploramos a transnacionalidade como proposta de um movimento feminista sem fronteiras, o qual se expande exponencialmente, especialmente nos países da América Latina. Assim, conceituamos a transnacionalidade e a relacionamos com o viés interseccional, destacando a possibilidade de se pensar territórios discriminatórios a partir das realidades das/os sujeitas/os e não do recorte geográfico. Nesse sentido, percebemos também que a decolonialidade é um fator essencial para análise e para o fortalecimento de um movimento feminista internacional, que seja capaz de atuar com diferentes grupos de mulheres sem apagar as diferenças daquelas localizadas nas fronteiras. Ao final, podemos constatar que o feminismo transnacional depende de um caminho trilhado a partir da decolonialidade, como consciência, e da interseccionalidade, como teoria crítica social e metodologia de resistência, pois, caso contrário, o movimento pode incidir nas correntes da homogeneidade e gerar novas formas de silenciamento.
A PARTICIPAÇÃO DO BRASIL NA REVISÃO PERIÓDICA UNIVERSAL DA ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS (2008- 2017):
Authors: Celeste Lachini Maria , M. Kyrillos Gabriela
Published: January 2023

Este artigo analisa os três ciclos (2008, 2012 e 2017) do mecanismo de Revisão Periódica Universal (RPU) da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) nos quais o Brasil participou até o momento. Com foco no modo como são abordas as questões concernentes às mulheres indígenas por parte do Estado brasileiro e dos demais atores internacionais ali atuantes, elaboramos, com aportes de Kimberlé Crenshaw, uma análise que utiliza a interseccionalidade como ferramenta analítica.Utilizamos a metodologia da análise de conteúdo (AC) conforme proposta por Bardin, para a análise de 38 documentos oficiais coletados na pesquisa. Esta nos permite concluir que houve uma baixa menção às mulheres indígenas nos três ciclos – apenas 11 vezes. Esse e outros dados detalhados no texto demonstram que as questões relacionadas às mulheres indígenas na participação brasileira na RPU ora está totalmente ausente, ora surge de modo periférico. Esses resultados se conectam com uma característica já identificada em pesquisas anteriores sobre o posicionamento brasileiro em sua política externa e nacional: a ausência de abordagens interseccionais quando se trata do acesso aos direitos humanos das mulheres.

Published: January 2023

The use of virtual reality (VR) as a medium for education can contribute to the learning efficiency of students. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of VR application in advanced biology courses, specifically in enhancing the comprehension and understanding of high school students toward the topic of human organs and other related systems. Four high school teachers and 138 high school students selected from three separate classes participated in this study. To determine the impact of VR education from both teachers’ and students’ perspectives, learning satisfaction and the effectiveness of instructional material were assessed with questionnaires. We found that from teachers’ perspective, VR was an efficient teaching tool that enhanced students’ attention and contributed to the improvement of learning outcomes. From the students’ perspective, they were willing to use VR instructional material and were satisfied with this learning method. Applying VR technology in the classroom should be encouraged. However, some students identified dizziness as a concern when VR glasses were used for longer periods of time. Therefore, we suggest that VR glasses be limited to 30 minutes of use at a time.

Published: January 2023

Coursework that is dependent on experiential learning, such as that offered in the laboratory-based sciences, can present barriers for a variety of students. These barriers can be magnified for students who experience disabilities that impact their access to the full depth of the course content and materials. Our unique perspective was formed primarily by supporting two blind students at two institution types across multiple biological science departments. In this paper, we explain the barriers we find are currently impacting blind and visually impaired (VI) students’ access to STEM as well as some tools to navigate creating more equitable and accessible spaces to support blind/VI students in STEM. More specifically, we provide general recommendations for working with blind/VI students using a student-centered approach to planning and daily interactions, followed by tips and tools for preparing accessible materials and a case study on how to use learning outcomes to modify course activities to be more useful for blind/VI students, and lastly we provide recommendations for important collaborations.
A Sweet Method of Modeling Restriction Endonuclease-Based Molecular Cloning
Authors: Tu Kevin , Sun Angela , Levin Daniel
Published: January 2023

Molecular cloning is an invaluable research tool in modern molecular biology. However, it is often difficult for students to grasp conceptually without visual aids and even more difficult to understand how to successfully set up a cloning experiment. Here, we describe a flipped classroom activity that simulates cloning using donuts as models of plasmids. Students noted in semistructured interviews that the interactive nature of this activity made it an engaging introduction to molecular cloning.
Cyberloafing: Investigating the Importance and Implications of New and Known Predictors
Authors: Giordano Casey , Mercado Brittany K.
Published: January 2023

Cyberloafing occurs when employees use technology to loaf instead of work. Despite mounting organizational concern and psychological research on cyberloafing, research provides little actionable guidance to address cyberloafing. Therefore, the present study builds on previous cyberloafing investigations in three primary ways. First, we utilize a person-situation framework to compare personological and situational construct domains. Second, we extend the cyberloafing nomological network by investigating previously unexamined, yet powerful, predictors. Third, we employ a multivariate approach to identify the most important cyberloafing antecedents. From seven cyberloafing constructs, we found that boredom, logical reasoning, and interpersonal conflict were the most important correlates. Our results highlight novel, important predictors of cyberloafing and allow us to provide empirically-based recommendations for developing cyberloafing interventions.
Which Way Universities?
Authors: Brint Steven
Published: January 2023

Are we nearing the end of a worldwide era of university expansion and influence – and, if so, why? The two books under consideration suggest very different answers to these questions. David John Frank and John W. Meyer’s The University and the Global Knowledge Society anticipates continued expansion and influence as university enrollments grow throughout the world and as the university’s knowledge practices rationalize ever more remote areas of human cultural life. John Douglass’s Neo-Nationalism and Universities raises the specter instead of a university sector controlled by illiberal politicians who are intent on restricting the freedom of professors and students and on directing university teaching and research in ways that align with their regimes’ interests. In this essay I argue that Frank and Meyer are right, for the most part, about the continuing expansion and influence of universities and that Douglass and his collaborators are right to worry about the future. But neither of the books focuses on one of the major threats to academe: universities may be in nearly as much danger from internal failings and a weakening market position as they are from external political control. Highly selective colleges and research universities remain vital instruments of national economic and social progress but the value added of less selective institutions is becoming questionable to many prospective students, even those who live in countries at the center of the liberal world order.

Background and aims. Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. For locally advanced diseases and high-risk tumors, neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is the treatment of choice. Some studies show that mammographic density (MD) tumor margins and the presence of microcalcifications play a prognostic role in BC patients. Hence, the objective of this retrospective study was to assess if MD could predict the response to NAT among different molecular subtypes of BC patients undergoing NAT at The “Prof. Dr I. Chiricuta” Oncology Institute of Cluj-Napoca, Romania (IOCN). Furthermore, the association between MD, tumor margins and the presence of microcalcifications with clinico-pathological data was analyzed.

Methods. Eighty-four breast cancer patients diagnosed and treated at IOCN were included in this study. The morphological characteristics of the tumors were framed according to the BIRADS lexicon. The presence or absence of microcalcifications was also assessed. First, the significance of associations between breast density, margins and microcalcifications and clinico-pathological parameters of the patients were tested with Fisher or Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact Test. Next, using multinomial logistic regression, we modelled the associations between the pathological response measured by Miller Payne and Residual cancer burden (RCB) systems and the BI-RADS. Variables having significant univariate tests were selected as candidates for the multivariable analysis (adjusted model).

Results. Breast densities were significantly associated with the age of the patients (p=0.01), number of positive lymph nodes (p=0.037), margins (p=0.002) and combined categories of Miller-Payne (p=0.034) and RCB pathological response (p=0.021). Margins was significantly associated with ki67 proliferation index (p=0.029), estrogen receptor (ER) (p=0.007), progesterone receptor (PR) (p=0.019), molecular subtype (p<0.001) and the number of clinically observed positive lymph nodes at diagnosis (p=0.019).

Conclusions. In our cohort, BC patients with lower MD had higher odds of achieving pCR following NAT, suggesting the role of MD as a clinical prognostic marker. Larger multicenter studies are warranted to validate the prognostic value of MD, which could aid in patients stratification based on their likelihood to respond to NAT
Post-war economic recovery policy: experience of the Republic of Korea
Authors:   State Institution “Institute for Economics and Forecasting, NAS of Ukraine”, Nebrat Victoria
Published: January 2023

The development of a strategy for post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy determines the advisability and importance of taking into account international experience. An urgent task is to assess the possibility to implement those economic policy tools that have proven their practical effectiveness. At the same time, it is necessary to define the reservations and risks associated with the implementation of certain aspects in the recovery policy. The purpose of the article is to identify institutional factors and economic mechanisms that provided the successful post-war recovery and development of the Republic of Korea in the 1960s and 1970s. Revealing the positive experience of the restructuring involves the account of historical conditions, and the role of foreign aid and internal sources of economic growth. The author has used the methods of comparative and problem-logical analysis, the institutional-evolutionary approach, the principle of integrability as a basis for the synthesis of empirical and theoretical knowledge, and the methodological approach of F. List regarding the historical conditioning of forms of economic nationalism. It is established that after the end of the Korean War, in 1953–1960, domestic policy and foreign aid were focused on solving the primary tasks of overcoming devastation and hunger. The author considers the forms of interaction between the state, the business environment and foreign aid in ensuring the recovery and development of the economy of the Republic of Korea in the 1960s and 1970s. Contrary to the recommendations aimed at liberalizing the economy with a focus on the development of traditional industries, the government of Park Chung-hee gradually implemented a national strategy aimed at industrialization and achieving global competitiveness on high-tech markets. This was facilitated by the introduction of the national planning system, the financial strategy of public-private partnership, and the support for export-oriented industrial production. The agrarian reform, focused on the development of highly productive family farming, contributed to the consolidation of food self-sufficiency and expansion of the domestic market. The strict policy of the redistribution of donor funds by the state provided a so-called export discipline for big business, thanks to which the national corporations - chaebols - became the drivers of investment and innovation based modernization of the economy. The author defines the main components of the Republic of Korea's success in realizing the national interests of economic development under the conditions of foreign aid in post-war reconstruction. An assessment is made of the possibility and expediency of using South Korean experience in Ukraine.
The ‘historical’ collection of fossil invertebrates from Lower Palaeozoic deposits of the Bohemian Massif (Czeсh Republic) as an object of scientific and cultural heritage
Authors:   National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Anfimova Galina
Published: January 2023

The years 2022 marks the 95th anniversary of the foundation of the Geological Museum, the predecessor of the Department of Geology of the National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine. However, the origins of its collections date back to the 19th century. The aim of the article is the ancient regional paleontological collection, which consists of fossil remains of various systematic groups of fauna and flora from the Lower Palaeozoic of the Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic) and is stored under #582. Various aspects of its value, primarily scientific and historical, were identified and characterised. The territory from which the collection originates is recognised as key in the knowledge of stratigraphy and palaeontology of the Lower Palaeozoic. The temporal range of fossils in the collection is Middle Cambrian to Middle Devonian. Fossil remains were collected from 45 localities, of which 2 are Cambrian, 15 are Ordovician, 16 are Silurian, and 12 are Devonian. The collection consists of two parts. The first contains 545 specimens of trilobite fossil remains. Trilobites in the collection are represented by all (11) currently known orders, 29 families, 105 genera, and 140 species (138 species according to the modern classification). The second part of the collection consists of 325 specimens of representatives of other characteristic faunal groups of the Lower Palaeozoic of the Bohemian Massif. This fauna associated with trilobites is represented in the collection by eight phyla (cnidarians, arthropods, molluscs, bryozoans, brachiopods, echinoderms, semichordates, and chordates) and 23 classes. The systematic composition of the second (non-trilobite) part of the collection includes more than 100 (!) species. A systematic catalogue of the collection, demonstrating its significant taxonomic diversity, has been compiled. The owner of the collection was the Mineralogical Cabinet of St. Volodymyr Imperial University of Kyiv, to which ‘the collection of Bohemian Silurian fossils’ in the amount of 1051 specimens arrived in 1874 ‘from the Bohemian Museum with the help of Prof. Jan Krejčí’ by purchase. The collection has an important scientific, educational, exhibitional, and historical value. Individual groups of the fauna of the collection are subject to revision and may become the object of research in numerous scientific works.

Background: Coronary vessels in women may have anatomical and histological particularities. The aim of this study was to investigate sex-specific characteristics and outcomes of patients with calcified coronary arteries in the Prepare-CALC (Comparison of Strategies to Prepare Severely Calcified Coronary Lesions) trial. Methods: The Prepare-CALC trial randomised patients with severe coronary calcification to coronary lesion preparation either using modified balloons (MB; cutting or scoring) or rotational atherectomy (RA). Results: Of 200 randomised patients, 24% were women. Strategy success in general was similar between women (93.8%) and men (88.2%; p=0.27). For men, strategy success was significantly more common with an RA-based strategy than an MB-based strategy (98.7% in the RA group versus 77.3% in the MB group, p<0.001), whereas for women there was no evidence of a significant difference in strategy success between RA and MB (95.7% in the RA group versus 92% in the MB group, p>0.99, p for interaction between sex and treatment strategy=0.03). Overall, significant complications such as death, MI, stent thrombosis, bypass operation and perforations were rare and did not differ significantly by gender or treatment strategy. Plaque rupture and disrupted calcified nodules were more common in women. Conclusion: In a well-defined patient population with severely calcified coronary arteries, lesion preparation with an RA strategy was superior to an MB strategy in men. For women, both RA and MB strategies appear to have a similar success rate, although definitive conclusions are limited due to the small number of women in the trial.

Published: January 2023

Secondary prevention of acute MI, both ST elevated and non-ST elevated is essential to reduce cardiovascular mortality and hospital readmission, ensuring patients return to normality with an improved quality of life. Thus far, professional associations and country-specific guidelines have provided guidance suited to their respective populations. The Asia Pacific Cardiometabolic Consortium has developed these consensus recommendations to unify the approach to long-term care of patients after MI, which can be applied across the Asia-Pacific region. The consensus statements, which were developed by an expert panel, took into account international and local guidelines and current evidence, along with the opinions and professional experience offered by regional experts. These statements were then put to an online vote to achieve a consensus. The resulting 13 statements discuss secondary prevention strategies encompassing pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modifications, cardiac rehabilitation and discharge management for the effective long-term care of patients with a history of type 1 MI, specifically relating to atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombosis.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the spectrum of droplets produced by three spray tips (JSF 11002, SF 11001, and JD12) using two types of spray solutions (with and without adjuvant). The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks in a 3×2 factorial scheme, with four replications. The targets were scanned after spraying and later analyzed by the free software Conta-Gotas. Values were extracted from the number of droplets, number of diameter, dispersion, volume, density, coverage, DV10, DV50, and DV90. Adjuvant addition increased droplet diameter and coverage, thus being indicated to reduce drift losses. The tips JSF 11002 and JD12 showed a larger droplet size, representing higher risk of runoff and low penetration into the plant canopy. The tip SF 11001 presented better penetration and fixation in the plant, thus being the most recommended for the application of phytosanitary products in pitaya.

Authors: Vera-Peña Madalyd Yurani , Hernández-García Hugo , Valencia-García Francia Elena
Published: January 2023

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a Gram-positive bacterium that belongs to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group commonly used in the food industry. To use this microorganism, high biomass concentration is necessary, and models need to be established for predicting and improving its behavior along fermentation. However, current models for L. plantarum are applicable to only one substrate. The growth of a newly isolated strain L. plantarum 60-1 in a co-substrate (glucose and lactose) and lactic acid production in the batch process, were modeled in this work. Biomass growth was well described bydouble Monod kinetics. Substrate consumptions were modeled using two balance equations. Lactic acid was described with the Luedeking–Piret equation. No product inhibition was observed. Both glucose and lactose were metabolized in a concomitant way. This is the first report (as we know it) of a model includes dynamics of a dual limitation substrate glucoseand lactose in multiplicative effects on the growth of L. plantarum 60-1
Occupational health in nurses’ staff of local hospitals: relationship between leadership role and post-pandemic psychosocial risks
Authors: González-Cañizalez Yomar , Flor-Mosquera Juan
Published: January 2023

Psychosocial risk factors associated with stressful working conditions after COVID-19 outbreak, have been studied in 20 nurses of a Basic Hospital in a rural area of Ecuador. Previous studies showed that social relationships, autonomy, and psychological demands were prominent dimensions that lead the risk perception. The aim of this study was to identify determinant leadership in the well-being of nurses and its influence in the psychosocial environment. After the intervention a positive participatory (83%) and collaborative (81%) performance was accomplished, directive leadership decreased (70%), while achievement-oriented leadership remained low (68%). The Wilcoxon test showed significant differences in qualitative-quantitative dimensions of psychological risk (Z= -3.100; p<.01), and (Z= -2.925; p<.01) respectively. Significant relationships among risk factors, perceived work climate and perception of leadership styles was possible to improve the well-being, by using a virtual team model based on participatory leadership. Findings are discussed and measures are proposed for future research.
Evaluation of environmental competencies in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). Case study: Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Ecuador
Authors: Araujo-Vizuete Gabriela , Robalino-López Andrés , Murillo-Ojeda Roberth
Published: January 2023

Environmental competencies are defined as a set of skills, knowledge, attitudes, and values that individuals put into play in different contexts and that are achieved through Environmental Education. These are divided into environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. The aim of the research is to evaluate environmental skills of students and professors at the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN) of Ecuador through a mixed, qualitative, and quantitative approach, for which the questionnaire proposed by Álvarez García (2015; 2017) was adapted and applied. The combination of both approaches and the descriptive statistical analysis made it possible to propose management strategies that allow increasing environmental competencies for the specific context. It was determined that the methodological competencies and that the issues with the least evaluation are those of attitude and collective behavior, provoking the reflection that individual and small actions count in aspects of environmental sustainability, but coordinated solutions are also required at all levels.

Development of Professional-Pedagogical Competence in the Field of Hygiene and Health Education
Authors: Terzieva Galena
Published: January 2023

The development of knowledge and skills in hygiene and healthy living is most efficiently carried out during the primary school age. The necessity of teaching science-based and systematized information comes to the fore, in order to lay the foundation of student’s healthy lifestyle. Such need together with being sensitive to the normative changes in the field of health education and professional-pedagogical competences, leads to a greater demand of proper academic training of teachers-in-training.
The goal of this study is to analyze the degree of development of skills, knowledge and professional competence in the field of hygiene and health education of future primary school teachers. The main methods that are used are didactic testing, pedagogical observation, resolving of cases.
The results show that after specialized training, the knowledge and skills as well as the abilities to organize a learning process tailored to the hygiene and health requirements of all participants – students in Pre-school Education and Primary Education Majors, are at a satisfactory level.
Communicative Approach to Determining the Role of Personality in Science
Authors: Kubalskyi O. N.
Published: January 2023

Purpose. This article aims at outlining the socio-communicative prerequisites for the influence of personality on the acquisition of rigorous scientific knowledge. Theoretical basis. The communicative foundations of an individual’s activity in general and the functioning of his consciousness in particular were laid by the philosophy of Edmund Husserl, primarily due to his introduction of the concepts of "intersubjectivity" and "lifeworld". From these positions, attempts were made to understand the discussion of Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn regarding the role of the individual in science, in particular, the concept of a "normal scientist" as a participant in the lifeworld of scientists who support special intersubjective norms of reproduction of this lifeworld through scientific communication. The concept of "communicative mind", correlated with the philosophy of Jürgen Habermas, best expresses the rational and argumentative principles of achieving consensus in science. Originality. Social anthropology reveals the constitutive significance of teamwork in science as a way of achieving rigorous scientific knowledge. Social phenomenology concretizes this by emphasizing the need for constant improvement of the rules of this communication. The verification of scientific knowledge by facts is strictly determined by the observance of community-recognized scientific tools for achieving such verification, in particular, the conventional agreement within a certain community of scientists regarding the language of science, which is used to describe verification, falsification, and other procedures for organizing scientific knowledge into a system. Conclusions. Verification of the obtained scientific knowledge critically depends on the formulation, dissemination and observance of certain institutional rules of scientific communication. This applies, in particular, to the conventionally recognized rules for the verification of scientific knowledge by empirical facts: it is not an isolated scientist who should identify, verify, organize and evaluate empirical facts, but a community of scientists who conduct scientific research in an organized manner. Team scientific work is a special case of collective action, which is characterized by a high level of reflection and application of critical thinking on a communicative basis. In particular, the legitimation of acquired scientific knowledge occurs in the process of scientific research due to the observance of procedural rules and careful work with empirical facts.
„Kartoteka procesów o czary” z Archiwum Państwowego w Poznaniu. Twórcy zespołu, proces jego powstawania, struktura i przydatność do badań nad polowaniami na czarownice

Published: January 2023

The file of witchcraft trials from the State Archives in Poznań was created by a special section of the SS, the so-called Hexen-Sonderkommando in 1935–1944. Despite some shortcomings and the passage of time, the file still has a scientific value.
Proces o czary w Doruchowie w 1775 r. w świetle nowych źródeł
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Lubierska Joanna
Published: January 2023

Many untrue hypotheses and information appeared around the “alleged” witchcraft trial in Doruchow in the second half of the 18th century, which resulted in the death of sever-al women. The text introduces a new category of sources: vital records registers and consistory records, which proved to be valuable material not only confirming the event itself, but also revealing the initiators of the trial, defendants, and witnesses.

Base (HCO3 −/CO3 2−) Transport Properties of SLC4 Proteins: New Insights in Acid-Base Kidney Physiology
Authors: Kurtz Ira , Schwartz George J.
Published: January 2023

H+ or base transporters and channels in the mammalian genome play important roles in the maintenance of numerous cellular biochemical and physiologic processes throughout the body. Among the known base transporters, those within the SLC4 and SLC26 gene families are involved in cell, transepithelial, and whole organ function. Whether the functional properties of these transporters involve HCO3
−, CO3
2−, or HCO3
−/CO3
2− stimulated H+ (or OH−) transport has not received widespread attention in the literature. Accordingly, “bicarbonate” is the term typically used in most textbooks without greater specificity. Moreover, clinicians and physiologists have historically focused on the blood HCO3
− concentration as the base term in the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation in the analysis of clinical acid-base abnormalities, thus, bicarbonate has been assumed to be the species reabsorbed along the nephron as required to maintain the blood [HCO3
−] at approximately 25 mM. However, accumulating data in the literature suggest that carbonate, rather than bicarbonate, is the species absorbed across the proximal tubule basolateral membrane, whereas in the collecting duct, bicarbonate is indeed transported. Various experimental approaches leading to this new concept are herein reviewed.

Published: January 2023

El consumo de esteroides androgénicos tiene una prevalencia global de consumo del 6,4% en hombres y 1,6% en mujeres, es importante determinar los efectos del consumo de esteroides anabólicos androgénicos. Este articulo tiene como objetivo revisar cambios estructurales y moleculares miocárdicos producidos por los esteroides androgénicos anabólicos (EAA) y las complicaciones electrofisiológicas y otros trastornos que se puedan presentar por el consumo.  Se realizó una revisión no sistemática de la literatura en las bases de datos MedLine, LILACS, Clinicalkey y Google Scholar. Se incluyeron 50 artículos de referencia, enfocados al objetivo de esta revisión

En conclusión, el uso EAA está implicado en múltiples patologías cardiovasculares que ponen en riesgo la vida. Los cambios más frecuentes se asocian con hipertrofia ventricular cardiaca (HV), predominio simpático que desencadena hipertensión arterial entre otras alteraciones
Barreras en la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde: una revisión sistemática de la literatura

Objetivo:  Identificar las barreras en la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde en las organizaciones. Metodología: Se sistematizó un esquema de investigación que incluyó una ecuación de búsqueda y criterios de exclusión. Se usó la base de datos de SCIENCE DIRECT donde se encontraron 1052 artículos de los cuales se seleccionaron 27 artículos de investigación luego de aplicar los criterios de exclusión y realizar el proceso de revisión y selección de éstos. Resultados: Se caracterizaron 57 barreras que se presentan en las distintas industrias y organizaciones al momento de implementar la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde, las cuales fueron clasificadas en 8 categorías: financieras, administrativas o gerenciales, de conocimiento, tecnología e innovación, proveedores y clientes, gubernamentales, legislativas y sociales e infraestructura; teniendo como principales barreras  y de mayor frecuencia la falta de compromiso por parte de la alta dirección, la brecha de información, la presión social insuficiente, legislación deficiente, costos y limitaciones financieras que impactan directamente la gestión de la cadena de suministro verde. Conclusiones: A partir de los resultados de la investigación se concluye que existen múltiples barreras para implementar prácticas sostenibles en la cadena de suministro, las cuales indican el complejo camino hacia la sostenibilidad y que requiere del esfuerzo y participación de todos los actores que intervienen en la cadena de suministro de manera directa e indirecta, además de actores externos a las organizaciones como son los gobiernos. Así mismo, con esta investigación, se contribuye en disminuir la incertidumbre en el proceso de aplicación de prácticas sustentables.
Identificación de factores en la imputación de responsabilidad de personas que participan en una riña ocasionando lesiones personales u homicidio
Authors: Becerra Corredor Julio Alberto
Published: January 2023

El tema se justifica por la antigüedad y las dificultades que se presentan en el momento de imponer la sanción. El artículo inicia con el planteamiento del problema sobre las dudas que aparecen frente a la identificación de los factores que tienen en cuenta los jueces para la imputación de responsabilidad a las personas que participan en una riña, cuando se desconoce al autor o autores del resultado. Caso Yopal. Se observan los problemas jurídicos que se han tenido que enfrentar para las dos posibles decisiones: Todos son responsables por el hecho de participar en la riña. Este punto de
 
vista viola el principio de presunción de inocencia, admite la presunción de sospecha y la presunción de culpa propio del sistema inquisitivo; presenta inseguridad jurídica al fallar pues no existe la plena prueba: además aparece la dificultad con el tipo de sanción a imponer, pues diferentes países imponen sanción extraordinaria es decir la que corresponde al tipo penal pero disminuida. El otro punto de vista: Si no se identifica al autor o autores, ninguno es responsable, esto obliga a investigar e identificar al autor o autores; en el caso de no individualizarlo, existe el peligro de la impunidad, además no se tiene en cuenta la responsabilidad de las personas que participaron en la contienda. Existen factores estimuladores de violencia que hacen más vulnerables  a las personas al enfrentamiento o contienda para resolver los problemas como la violencia intrafamiliar, la salud mental relacionada con trastornos psiquiátricos diagnosticados; el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y sustancia ilegales; además el fenómeno de las masas en donde la persona individualmente pierde su yo y adquiere la identidad del grupo en donde se encuentra; esto nos lleva a concluir que existen varias ciencias interesadas en el problema de la riña como la psicología, psiquiatría, sociología, la ética y moral. En Colombia no es claro el tratamiento de esta conducta de la riña, pues no existe el tipo penal en el Código, en consecuencia, se puede caer en la impunidad cuando en la investigación no se logra identificar al autor o autores de la conducta punible dentro de una riña por no tener la plena prueba.
