Consideraciones Teóricas-metodológicas Necesarias para Mejorar la Evaluación del Aprendizaje en el Ámbito de la Educación Física y el Deporte
Authors: Hernández Mario
Published: November 2023

Como se argumenta a lo largo de este trabajo, la evaluación del aprendizaje es actualmente un área que requiere de un mayor estudio y un mejoramiento por parte de muchos docentes (profesores, entrenadores, educadores) en el plano teórico, en el metodológico y en el práctico. La investigación que sobre dicho tema es llevada a cabo por parte del autor durante más de seis años, y en los dos últimos cursos por el grupo de trabajo del Proyecto que bajo su dirección se ocupa de perfeccionar la evaluación del aprendizaje en la EIEFD, permite asegurar lo antes señalado. Así, este trabajo presenta algunas consideraciones que desde tendencias, enfoques y concepciones actuales, pueden contribuir de alguna manera a dicho estudio y mejoramiento.Palabras clave: Evaluación, aprendizaje, educación física. As argued throughout this work, the assessment of learning is now an area that requires further study and an improvement on many educators (teachers, coaches, educators) at the theoretical level, the methodology and the practical.  The research on this subject is carried out by the author for more than six years, and in the last two years by the Project task force that under his leadership is responsible for improving the assessment the EIEFD learning, allows ensure the above. Thus, this work presents some considerations from trends, approaches and concepts today, may somehow contribute to the study and improvement. keywords: Assessment, learning, physical education.
Evaluación del Profesorado en Universidades Públicas. Una Aproximación a la Situación en Colombia
Authors: Rodríguez José Gregorio
Published: November 2023

La evaluación del profesorado universitario, como práctica social, está relacionada con condiciones históricas de diversa índole, y sus desarrollos se pueden entender mejor si se analizan en el entramado de políticas y procesos que cada Estado adelanta para el conjunto de su sociedad. Para el caso colombiano, caracterizado por la incomunicación entre “una historia central” y muchas “historias periféricas”, la evaluación del profesorado universitario implica dar cuenta de las tensiones que viven las universidades públicas en su intento de responder a las exigencias del mercado y del Estado, de una parte, y de alcanzar algún nivel de legitimidad en el seno de su propia sociedad. En esta comunicación1 se hace una aproximación al devenir de la evaluación del profesorado en las universidades públicas colombianas, tomando como punto de partida la Constitución de 1991 y se busca identificar algunos rasgos de la situación actual.Palabras clave: Colombia, evaluación desempeño profesoral, universidades públicas. The evaluation of the universities’ teaching staff, as a social practice, is related to several historical conditions, and its development can be better comprehended when analyzed in a political context and with the processes developed by the State to further its society in mind. The Colombian situation, characterized for a lack of communication between a “central history” and many “peripheral histories”, the evaluation of the teaching staff at universities tried to shed light to the many tension created in public universities by their efforts to respond to market and State demands; and in part, to achieve a level of legitimacy in its own society. In this article an introduction to the evaluation of Colombian public universities is made, taking the 1991 Constitution as a starting point, as we try to identify several aspects of the current situation.keywords: Colombia, teaching staff performance evaluation, public universities.
Democracia e dependência no Brasil
Authors: Stampa Inez , Rodrigues Vicente
Published: November 2023

O artigo realiza uma reflexão sobre a democracia brasileira tendo em conta a situação de dependência do país, valendo-se, para tanto, de revisão bibliográfica e de análise de fontes primárias. A Teoria Marxista da Dependência foi a base teórica central eleita para a análise proposta. Na sociabilidade capitalista a ideia da democracia revela uma contradição inescapável e sistêmica, pois os direitos não podem servir a desígnios diametralmente opostos. Esse quadro, que assume contornos cada vez mais dramáticos neste início de século XXI, mesmo no centro do sistema capitalista, é radicalizado no sul global empobrecido, evidenciando uma relação de unidade, mas, ao mesmo tempo, de antagonismo, estabelecida entre as economias dos países centrais e as dos países periféricos.
Evaluation Of The Autism Knowledge in Parents of the Children Aged Under 6 Years
Authors: Karavuş Melda , Meva Altaş Zeynep
Published: November 2023

Introduction and Aim: Social awareness is important to recognize the behaviors of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at an early stage. The aim of this study is to measure the ASD knowledge levels and to evaluate the autism awareness of the parents who applied to an university hospital’s pediatric outpatient clinic for their children aged under 6 years. Methods: This descriptive study is conducted with 110 parents between 18-22 February 2019. The used questionnaire had 43 questions; first 5 questions were about sociodemographic information, questions between 6-38 were about definition and symptoms of autism, questions between 39-43 were about the thoughts of parents about the role of a person with ASD in society. The tenth question was about the sources of information on ASD. The questions that used to measure the knowledge level of ASD were inspired by the developmental tests used in children and the questionnaires used in previous studies on this subject. Collected data was analysed with multiple Chi-Square test. p values less than 0,05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Of the participants 69,1% (n= 76) were women and the mean age was 34,8 ± 7,2. Of the participants 92,7% (n= 102) have heard the word autism before. Age, gender and education level did not have a significant effect on hearing the word autism. The rate of the correct definition of autism was significantly higher in participants below thirty-five years of age and those who had a higher education level (p= 0,014; p= 0,007). Discussion and Conclusion: Since the media / television / internet constitute most of the information sources about autism, the role of these channels is important to increase the ASD knowledge level and ASD awareness in the society. The rate of the correct definition of autism is higher in participants with a higher level of education similar to this study. It is considered that educational studies for autism will yield positive results, since the ASD awareness rate was higher in participants with higher level of education.

Prebiotics and their health benefits
Authors: Ayaz Zeynep
Published: November 2023

The diversity of microorganism species found in the human body since birth and their distribution in different systems are defined as microbiota. The healthy and balanced microbiota has predominantly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. The use of probiotics and prebiotics in addition to lifestyle measures to maintain the microbiota balance has become more and more researched and preferred methods. Prebiotic; are non-digestible food components that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of microbiota elements in the colon, thereby improving host health. Studies have shown that prebiotics have a positive effect on the colon, immunological system, glucose and lipid metabolism, absorption of some minerals, and the relationship between nutrition and health has come to the fore, and it has become necessary to have more information about these components. With this review article, it is aimed to give information about prebiotics.

Authors: Haykir O. , Forrez R. , Mathijssen G. , Vanderborght B.
Published: November 2023

The food robotics revolution is driving a shift in the vending machine sector from conventional pre-packaged sales to on-site food manufacture. As these machines develop into small-scale food processing points, it is critical to guarantee food safety. The implementation of automated Clean-in-Place (CIP) techniques, in addition to manual cleaning, is modelled after food production practices, where hygiene is maintained without direct human intervention. These days, running these modern, multifunctional vending machines requires giving the highest priority to food safety and putting rigorous control measures in practice.

This case study aimed to implement a CIP procedure in a vending machine and assess microbial contamination. Water, blender, and smoothies were microbiologically analyzed to evaluate the microbial safety of ingredients, equipment, and the final product.

Microbiological analysis showed that none of the samples was contaminated with three major pathogens: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli. This study showed the importance of the Clean-in-Place (CIP) process in automated vending machines.

Method 2: shaking water-bath at 50 °C for 30 min, then storing at 5 °C for 20 h.

Method 3: shaking water-bath at 40 °C for 30 min.

Method 4: shaking water-bath at 40 °C for 30 min, then storing at 5 °C for 20 h.

According to our results Method 1 showed the highest FRAP value (34.43 mg AAE g−1), the DPPH value (52,94%) and the highest HPLC peaks for chlorogenic acid, epicatechin and rutin were also seen in extracts obtained using Method 1. TPC values of Method 3 were 26.06 mg GAE g−1 for Method 1 it was 25.65 mg GAE g−1. The results of color values, L* and ΔE* were similar in all extracts as well. In our experiments extraction Method 1 proved to be better than others.
‘All you see is what you feel’
Authors: Green Stephanie
Published: November 2023

This article explores themes of place, literature and friendship through an engagement with David Malouf’s novel Johhno. Set in Brisbane and Italy, the article takes the form of a creative non-fiction essay, in six sections. The narrator reflects on her wanderings, bent on renunciation of everything except writing, yet hoping for revelation or union. Whereas for Malouf’s characters, Dante and Johnno, Brisbane offers a canvas to hurl themselves against, the narrator of ‘All You See’ takes the city as a point of arrival and departure. She veers towards and away from family, friends and lovers, crossing cities and continents, eventually returning home, yet still at odds with what she knows and what she has lived.
Family photograph of past lives and future portents
Authors: Martinuzzi O'Brien Ilma
Published: November 2023

Capturing an important day in the life of a community, a photograph from the author’s family collection records a group that has gathered to welcome the Italian aviator Francesco De Pinedo to Innisfail in 1925. De Pinedo’s record-breaking 55,000-kilometre flight from Rome to Tokyo via Australia and back was an extraordinary feat, and a demonstration of Italian technological advancement and participation in the drive towards global connectivity of those times. He had been feted by the public and dignitaries, including the Prime Minister, at each stage of his journey around Australia. But the photograph reveals much more. De Pinedo’s visit was particularly welcome where Italians were denigrated and viewed with suspicion. At the time, there was unrest about the impact of ‘foreign’ – specifically Italian – immigration in North Queensland, to provide labour for its sugar industry. The men in the photograph were among the leaders of the North Queensland Italian communities, and three of them had been invited as witnesses before the Ferry Royal Commission just months earlier. The Commission was set up to investigate attitudes towards the increasing numbers of Italians, and those views were to result in widespread internment of North Queensland Italians during World War II. All but two of the Italian leaders photographed were interned. This article situates the personal histories and contributions of these individuals within their historical circumstances.
A ‘civil minority’
Authors: Dewhirst Catherine
Published: November 2023

The figure of Costante Danesi (1884–1969) stands out as an unrelenting defender of the rights of Italian migrants in Queensland’s history between the two world wars. Although his activism as an anti-fascist is documented in archival records and mainstream and Italian-migrant newspapers of the time, his role has received little more than cursory attention by scholars to date. This has led not only to confusion about his politics but also neglect of an opportunity for a deeper appreciation of the intercultural dimensions of resilience during the interwar years. Arriving in Australia in 1921, Danesi was not alone in speaking up to defend Italian migrants’ contributions to society or in aiding their wellbeing, and his activism in protecting their rights aligned with the principles of democracy. Yet an examination of those struggles reveals how the experiences of Italian sugarcane workers in North Queensland exposed overt and covert racism alongside Australia’s democratic ideals of the time. Drawing from the works of Joan Beaumont and Arjun Appadurai, this discussion repositions an Italian-born British subject as significant not only within the history of Queensland but also, more generally, in the demonstration of a minority community’s resilience over this tumultuous era.
‘A whisperer for all Italians’
Authors: Glaros Maria
Published: November 2023

While considerable research has been undertaken on internment experiences during the World War II in Australia, little has focused on the thousands of ‘enemy aliens’, especially Italian-born women and Australian-born women of Italian descent, whose family members were interned. This article explores the ways in which the lives of three Queensland Italian women were impacted by the National Security (Aliens Control) Regulations 1939 (Cth). One of these three women was ultimately interned as a result of being perceived as a threat to national security. The experiences of each, documented in official records, highlight concerns about their treatment under the Regulations. How did the Regulations restrict the civil rights of Italian women and how did they respond? Examination of these three women’s particular circumstances shows that they each suffered hardship and isolation when loved ones were interned, yet two actively sought to improve their situation by appealing to the authorities. Their stories reflect the ‘war hysteria’ and suspicion, as well as isolation, discrimination and victimisation, that form a largely unacknowledged history of the wartime experience of ‘enemy alien’ women.

Distribuição de renda, demanda efetiva e acumulação
Authors: CARVALHO FERNANDO J. CARDIM DE
Published: November 2023

RESUMO O artigo apresenta um levantamento das principais escolas teóricas abordando a determinação dos perfis de distribuição de renda. Esta questão tem sido o núcleo da teoria econômica desde o seu nascimento, com Adam Smith. A Economia Política Clássica enfocou as relações entre a distribuição funcional da renda e o processo de desenvolvimento, propondo que o crescimento pudesse ser promovido pelo aumento da participação nos lucros da renda nacional. A economia neoclássica manteve o foco na distribuição funcional, relacionando-a, no entanto, a uma noção de relativa escassez de fatores de produção. A Teoria Geral de Keynes mudou a ênfase na distribuição pessoal que estaria relacionada à formação dos vários elementos da demanda agregada. Os estudos pós-keynesianos tentaram relacionar os pontos de vista de Keynes às ideias clássicas sobre distribuição de renda. O artigo termina com uma breve análise de alguns estudos sobre perfis de distribuição de renda no Brasil.

A PRIMAVERA DAS MULHERES: RECITAÇÃO DE MITOS E TRAJETOS DE MEMÓRIA EM CAPAS DE REVISTAS
Authors: Gonzaga Juliane de Araujo
Published: November 2023

Resumo Este artigo analisa discursivamente as capas das revistas Época e Istoé publicadas em novembro de 2015, período de efervescência de manifestações de mulheres nas ruas das grandes cidades brasileiras. Objetiva-se compreender como os discursos dessas mídias fabricam o acontecimento Primavera das Mulheres na relação entre imagens e legendas, produzindo sentidos sobre o que é visto e lido. O arsenal-teórico se serve da interlocução entre o conceito de mito desenvolvido pela Semiologia de Roland Barthes e postulados da Análise de Discurso francesa acerca da imagem como operadora social de memória, uma vez que os discursos das mídias tensionam formas, significação e história. A análise demonstra que as capas apresentam procedimentos de conotação que deslocam significantes, atribuindo-lhes significados históricos. Assim, recitam mitos como o da “juventude que sonha com a revolução” e acionam, por analogia e associação a imagens anteriores, trajetos de memória que remontam ao acontecimento da Primavera Árabe.
O DISCURSO TEATRAL: REFLEXÕES BAKHTINIANAS
Authors: Gonçalves Jean Carlos
Published: November 2023

Resumo Este ensaio, vinculado ao projeto de pesquisa O Discurso Teatral em perspectiva dialógica: potencialidades, urgências, demandas (UFPR/CNPq), tem como objetivo apresentar reflexões sobre o discurso teatral a partir de uma abordagem dialógica, cuja principal ancoragem teórica se constitui pelos escritos de Bakhtin e o Círculo. Para isso, questiona-se o discurso teatral e, nessa mirada, como analisá-lo. Atravessam o texto discussões relacionadas a uma noção de discurso teatral que, ao mesmo tempo, extrapola o espaço da mise-en-scène e o campo da produção do espetáculo, abrigando projetos discursivos que contenham elementos de teatralidade, estejam eles relacionados ou não ao universo cênico.
SENTIDOS DE BRASIL E BRASILEIRO EM MATERIAL DIDÁTICO DE PORTUGUÊS COMO LÍNGUA ESTRANGEIRA
Authors: Nascimento Mariana Ruiz , Brito Cristiane Carvalho de Paula
Published: November 2023

Resumo Este artigo visa discutir e identificar representações discursivas sobre o Brasil e os brasileiros construídas em um livro de Português como Língua Estrangeira (PLE). Com base nos estudos trans/indisciplinares em Linguística Aplicada e em teorias discursivas de linguagem, parte-se da hipótese de que o livro didático analisado silencia as múltiplas e possíveis identidades do brasileiro; e que, quando retratadas, são tidas como estagnadas. Na análise, foram identificadas cinco representações, sintetizadas nos seguintes enunciados: (a) o brasileiro é “gente boa”; (b) Brasil: o país das praias, futebol e fio dental; (c) o brasileiro é engraçado; (d) Brasil, um país exótico; e (e) o brasileiro é romântico. Essas representações se inscrevem em discursos de colonialidade que corroboram imagens totalizantes sobre língua-cultura e identidade brasileiras. A análise aponta a necessidade de problematizar, nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem de línguas, sentidos homogêneos e universalizantes que (re)produzem preconceitos, estereótipos e reforçam relações desiguais de poder.
O percurso constitutivo da ontologia Marxiana-Lukacsiana: apontamentos pertinentes para o debate gnosiológico-epistemológico sobre a corporeidade humana
Authors: Sousa Marcel Farias de , Nunes Thiago Oliveira Queiroz
Published: November 2023

RESUMO A presente exposição objetiva, através da apresentação do percurso de constituição da ontologia marxiana-lukasciana, extrair considerações iniciais críticas às teorias sociais modernas que são fundamentos teórico-epistemológicos para os estudos sobre a corporeidade humana. Aportado em uma pesquisa doutoral qualitativa de cunho teórico-bibliográfica, centra-se aqui na revisão que Lukács realizou sobre as teorias antiontológicas e aquelas que reivindicavam uma ontologia do ente presentificado no cotidiano. Conclui-se provisoriamente que a detecção dos problemas e limites das abordagens investigadas, em especial, uma noção demasiada abstrata do Ser, possam ser pertinentes para a análise da produção dos estudos sobre a corporeidade desenvolvidos na Educação Física.

Authors: Medina Sara Santana , Sánchez José Alexis Alonso
Published: November 2023

RESUMEN El fútbol base es un elemento educativo y socializador que potencia la formación integral de los niños. En él intervienen agentes que pueden llegar a contribuir a la presencia de violencia en los campos de juego, lo que supone un problema social. La mediación e intervención con las familias, niños, entrenadores, árbitros y resto de personas implicadas es primordial para un adecuado desarrollo del juego y valores asociados. El propósito del proyecto Plataforma 090 es erradicar la violencia de los campos de fútbol base, pero no cuenta con un protocolo de evaluación, por lo que este trabajo diseña dos herramientas que permiten valorarlo y, así, poder determinar si está funcionando adecuadamente.
From the pond to the creek many years ago: life-history dynamics of feral poeciliids in Brazil

Published: November 2023

Abstract Aim We investigated trophic and reproductive traits of feral guppy Poecilia reticulata and southern platyfish Xiphophorus maculatus in a headwater creek located in the Paraíba do Sul River basin, southeastern Brazil. Methods Fish were collected bimonthly from January to December 2017 using sieve in Lopes Creek. Stomach items were analyzed and developmental stages of females were classified as 1 (Non-gravid), 2 (Yolked ova), 3 (Eyed embryos), and 4 (Mature embryos). The mean values of fecundity and population structure for each developmental stage were determined for females using six length classes. Bimonthly mean values of gonadosomatic index of females were overlayed with average bimonthly rainfall, water level/temperature, and the sex ratio was calculated. The juvenile-to-adult proportion was calculated bimonthly, and the phenotype (ornamental-type × wild-type) was also analyzed. Results The guppy and southern platyfish fed, primarily, on detritus, and both species showed reproductive activity during all the sampling period. The mean fecundity of P. reticulata and X. maculatus was high and the smallest gravid female of guppy measured 0.8 cm SL, and southern platyfish 1.0 cm. The GSI of both species showed peaks coinciding with the highest rainfall, water level/temperature, and females were significantly more frequent than males. Juveniles were found during all the sampling period, and both species were represented by wild-type forms. Conclusions P. reticulata and X. maculatus presented opportunistic feeding, long reproductive period, high fecundity and early maturity. The year-round presence of reproductive females, juveniles and wild-type phenotypes suggests establishment of populations in the study area. We hypothesize that the introduction of both species has occurred several years ago, and the continued exposure to predation seems to have molded their life-history traits and phenotype.
The inverse relation of pre-nuclear and nuclear prominences in German
Authors: Roessig Simon
Published: November 2023

The importance of pre-nuclear prominences for focus marking has been largely neglected. Recent studies, however, present first evidence that the prosody of the pre-nuclear region indicates its status as part of a broad focus or as pre-focal. This study presents a systematic investigation of the pre-nuclear domain and its relation to the nuclear accent in German. The results show that the realization of the pre-nuclear domain indeed depends on whether it is focal or pre-focal: The pre-nuclear noun is characterized by larger F0 excursions, higher F0 maxima and larger durations when it is in broad focus than when it precedes a narrow focus. Furthermore, the realization of a pre-focal, pre-nuclear domain depends on the following focus: The pre-nuclear noun is produced with smaller F0 excursions, lower F0 maxima and shorter durations before a corrective focus than before a non-corrective narrow focus. The comparison to the nuclear accent suggests an inverse relationship, i.e., the pre-nuclear domain becomes less prominent when the nuclear domain becomes more prominent. The findings suggest that the phonetic manifestation of information structure is distributed over larger prosodic domains and entails the modulation of phrasal prominence profiles rather than just local adjustments of the nucleus.
Island Girl, Universal Woman: Peig: A Scéal Féin (1998) as Narrative of Class, Labour and Femininity
Authors: de Brún Sorcha Sinéad
Published: November 2023

This article reappraises the Irish-language autobiography, Peig, as a unique account of the experience of life and work by a woman of the rural Irish speaking subsistence class. Peig is a seminal Irish language text, both as a depiction of class and gender-based conflict, and as an Irish language work that describes intersectional issues of justice, labour, rights and femininity from childhood to old age. I examine the narrative through the lenses of home, poverty, housing, work, marriage, children, friends, foes and loss. Peig depicts great resilience in the face of structural inequalities and localised injustice. The sustaining nature of intergenerational female friendships plays the central role in Peig’s account of her life. Arguing that the text belongs to the shared histories of women across the world, from China to the Middle East and Africa, I conclude that Peig is one of the most emotionally rich books in modern Irish. The article opens new ground in examining the question of class in Irish language literature, concluding that its universal themes continue to resonate in a contemporary multi-ethnic Ireland.

Published: November 2023

Abstract:the article deals with topical issues of law enforcement practice of the provisions of article 2.9 of the code of administrative offences, providing for the possibility of exemption from administrative liability on the basis of insignificance of the act. Proposals on the criteria in administrative and court practice on Affairs about administrative offences can be attributed the act to the category of minor, including a list of compositions of administrative offences, which could not apply article 2.9 of the Code of the Russian Federation about administrative offences. Some controversial issues of exemption from administrative liability on the basis of insignificance of the act in the review of cases by courts of General jurisdiction and in arbitration proceedings in cases of administrative offenses are identified. At the same time, the controversial issue of the application of article 2.9 of the administrative Code in the presence of circumstances mitigating administrative responsibility. It is also proposed at the legislative level to establish the legal consequences of the application of oral comments in the release from administrative responsibility and the termination of the proceedings on an administrative offense in the insignificance of the act.

Published: November 2023

The research is devoted to developing a mathematical model describing the dynamics of a dual-mass machine unit with a cardan gear, taking into account the catalogue data of an induction motor. A reference simulation model of a machine unit of sequential structure driven by a given induction motor is obtained. The simulated machine unit consists of a reducer and two rotating masses with a cardan gear with a given torsional stiffness between them. The differential equations of motion of the machine unit were calculated. A mathematical description of mechanical characteristics on the basis of Klos formulae has been developed and the influence of machine unit parameters on its performance in start-up, steady-state and emergency modes of operation has been studied. The analysis of arising oscillations and dynamic loads is carried out and the results of numerical implementation of the obtained results are presented.
On the Formation of Coronal Mass Ejection with Low Final Speed
Authors: Eselevich Victor , Eselevich Maksim , Mashnich Galina , Parkhomov Vladimir
Published: November 2023

The two limb CMEs considered in this paper differ from the cases of type 1 and type 2 CMEs studied earlier in [1]. At the same time, they noticeably differ from each other in the nature of their formation, which remains not completely clear. It is unusual in the formation of the April 29, 2014 CME that its appearance is associated with the eruption of only a larger part of the magnetic rope. A specific feature of the February 11, 2014 CME is the fact that it already has a very high velocity of motion near the surface of the Sun - about 1300 km/s, which rapidly decreases as it moves away from the Sun. But they are united by the fact that they both have an extremely low final speed of the CME - no more than 350 km / s. The answer to the question of what determines the formation of these slow CMEs (ICMEs for short) is important for further studies of the dynamics and nature of CMEs.

The paper examined the problem of modeling and design of software computer systems. The article briefly describes the content aspects of the various stages of the implementation of software complexes and systems. The methodology of research and analysis of systems, which uses the method of computer simulation modeling, is given. The aim of the work is to create a new universal approach to the design and implementation of software systems of various levels of complexity. During the study, the following general scientific methods were used: system analysis, synthesis, formalization, modeling, decomposition, structuring, description, comparison. The materials used in the study were: computers and software development tools. As a result of the study proposed a universal agent-module approach to the design and implementation of software systems based on simulation agent-based modeling. The study presents the processes of modeling and designing software systems, their stages, and the possibility of their integration within the described approach. Examples of formal model and structure of the software system under design based on the agent-module approach are presented. The proposed approach can be used in the process of software development at the initial stages related to modeling and designing of software systems. Integration of modeling and design stages in the proposed approach will significantly reduce software development time and simplify the design process by making it clearer and more formalized. Materials of the article are of scientific and practical value for a wide range of specialists interested in system analysis, modeling, design and implementation of software systems.

The research estimated the water surface area and volume of the bay Proval and Posol'skiy sor in Lake Baikal by using the QGIS geographic information system. The research indicated that the bays in question were very sensitive to changes in the water level of Lake Baikal. Surface area has been found to be more sensitive to changes in water level than volume. These indicators are important for the estimation of the receiving capacity of an area and can be used to predict the quantity of receiving capacity in low water periods. The results obtained may be useful in taking measures to stabilize the population of Baikal omul and its rational use.

In Yucatan, the transition from rural to semi-urban communities has occurred mainly in the municipality seats; this transition comes with the problems of waste management. The municipalities oversee the Integral Urban SolidWaste Management (IUSWM); but in recent years, the public-private partnership for waste management has proved to be an effective strategy. There are few studies on the IUSWM in rural or semi-urban areas and the users’ willingness to pay, information that would help public policymakers to design adequate plans and programs for its management. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic factors associated with the willingness to pay for the IUSWM of users in semi-urban municipalities of Yucatan. A total of 1,144 interviews were conducted in 6 semi-urban localities in Yucatan, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with a Tobit regression econometric model. 69.75% of the surveyed users declared that they were willing to pay an average of 17.65 Mexican pesos (0.85 U.S. dollars) for the integral urban solid waste management. The willingness to pay decreases when the Mayan language predominates among the member of the household, and when they have fewer tangible assets and rooms. There are cultural and social factors rooted in solid waste collection, this integrated system may be accompanied by other types of economic incentives to modify consumers’ behavior towards something more beneficial for the environment, such as the homes’ income.
Actitudes y prácticas ambientales de la población urbana de Puno, altiplano andino

During the last decades in Puno, Peru, the problem of contamination has worsened due to the combined action of the disorderly growth of the urban population, poor management of solid waste, discharge of untreated sewage into the bay of Lake Titicaca and practices of inadequate sanitation and hygiene, severely affecting the environment and human health. The objective of the study was to characterize the pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors of the city’s population of Puno in relation to sanitation, pollution and environmental management. The research is nonexperimental, quantitative, cross sectional, descriptive, correlational and micro level of analysis. The universe of study was the population over 18 years of age in the urban area, which comprises 97,264 inhabitants; the sample, determined at simple random, was 382 people. A structured questionnaire was applied. Descriptive and inferential analysis and hypothesis testing were performed with SPSS statistical software. The results indicate that the environmental attitudes of the majority of the population are positive regarding factors and sources of pollution and effects on human health. On the contrary, environmental practices are inadequate in environmental management in the home and health and hygiene conditions in the home. It is concluded that the sustainable improvement of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors demands a new public policy of environmental education, whose implementation incorporates the effective participation of civil society based on an incentive system.

Bovine mastitis is a disease that affects the farms of small and medium producers in the cantons of Cayambe and Pedro Moncayo, Pichincha Province-Ecuador. Treating this disease is not easy due to the different microorganisms that cause it. This study focused on the molecular determination by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the etiological agents of mastitis, having multiple advantages when recognizing family, gender and species of microorganisms. It is a method capable of detecting resistance genes of antibiotics, an important analysis when diagnosing and treating diseases. The aim of this research is to identify bacteria causing bovine mastitis by using biochemical and molecular tests. Biochemical tests such as: Gram staining, Catalase, Coagulase, and Mannitol Salt Agar were efficient to obtain pure strains and determine the gender of some bacteria. Specific primers (RNA16S) were used for the molecular identification of 9 etiological agents causing the disease in the productive units. The microorganisms found were Staphylococcus pasteuri, Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Sphingomonas sp., Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus uberis, mostly present in clinic mastitis. To detect resistance genes, specific primers were used, of which 7 samples presented the gene for resistance to blaTEM (b-lactam) and 6 samples presented the gene for resistance to tetA (tetracyclines). Multi-resistance was identified in the species Staphylococcus pasteuri, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus uberis, Sphingomonas sp.

Social media platforms facilitate the sharing of a vast magnitude of information in split seconds among users. However, some false information, generally referred to as “fake news”, is also widely spread. This can have major negative impacts on individuals and societies. Unfortunately, people are often not able to correctly identify fake news from authentic news. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find effective mechanisms to fight fake news on social media. To this end, this paper adapts the Straub Model of Security Action Cycle to the context of combating fake news on social media. It uses the adapted framework to classify the vast literature on fake news into action cycle phases (i.e., deterrence, prevention, detection, and mitigation/remedy). Based on a systematic and inter-disciplinary review of the relevant literature, we analyze the status and the challenges in each stage of combating fake news, followed by introducing future research directions. These efforts allow the development of a holistic view of the research frontier on fighting fake news online. We conclude that this is a multidisciplinary issue, and as such, a collaborative effort from different fields is needed to effectively address this problem.
