Authors: Quintans Mariana Trotta Dallalana , Silva Rafaelly de Lima Galossi da , Castro Sobrinho Taiana de
Published: September 2022

Resumo O presente artigo teve o objetivo de analisar a luta das mulheres pelo direito à moradia no contexto da pandemia da covid-19, na ocupação Novo Horizonte, em Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, por meio de uma reflexão sobre classe, raça e gênero, articulando as contribuições teóricas da interseccionalidade e da teoria da reprodução social. Para tal finalidade foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, bibliográfica e utilizando o método hipotético-indutivo, bem como pesquisa de campo para coletar dados sobre a Ocupação Novo Horizonte. Com esta metodologia foi possível descrever a ocupação Novo Horizonte e a necessidade de suspensão dos despejos em tempos de crise sanitária, o Poder Judiciário e as disputas jurídico-políticas contra os despejos, a atuação dos movimentos sociais e, sobretudo, o protagonismo das mulheres na luta por moradia adequada. A partir dessas premissas foi possível concluir o retrato das ocupações urbanas no Brasil: compostas majoritariamente por mulheres negras e mães solo. Os despejos e remoções forçadas realizados na pandemia da Covid-19 impactaram profundamente as mulheres, especialmente negras e periféricas.

Em suma, a pesquisa finda por refletir quanto aos dados da desigualdade social afunilada sob o contexto pandêmico e seus impactos para as minorias identitárias supracitadas, bem como a inação do Estado no desenho das políticas públicas.
LA INDEPENDENCIA PARAGUAYA Y LA SUPUESTA HOMOGENEIZACIÓN ÉTNICA DE LA JOVEN NACIÓN
Authors: Potthast Barbara
Published: September 2022

Resumen La independencia paraguaya se diferencia de las otras independencias sudamericanas por el hecho de que fue conseguida sin una prolongada guerra, aunque los conflictos violentos en el antiguo virreinato del Río de la Plata influyeron profundamente en la formación del nuevo estado, sobre todo en el establecimiento de la Dictadura del Dr. Francia, aprobada por un congreso popular. En este artículo, examinamos este proceso, para después analizar la política del Dr. Francia contra sus rivales políticos, la antigua élite comercial, en su mayoría de origen español y porteño. En este contexto, discutimos críticamente una orden de 1814, la cual prohíbe el matrimonio de este grupo con personas que no sean indígenas o castas, para comprobar que esta medida no apuntaba a fomentar la homogenización étnica de la joven nación, sino a destruir el poder social y económico de este grupo y concentrar el poder político y militar en manos del Dr. Francia. Esto permitió el surgimiento de un estado que mantenía el monopolio de poder, pero a costo de un extremo personalismo político.
LA CULTURA DE GUERRA DE LAS INDEPENDENCIAS IBEROAMERICANAS: PERSPECTIVAS Y POSIBILIDADES DE ESTUDIO A PARTIR DEL CASO MEXICANO
Authors: Gutiérrez Rodrigo Moreno
Published: September 2022

Resumen Este artículo plantea una reflexión sobre la importancia histórica de la dimensión bélica de los procesos de desintegración y colapso de las monarquías ibéricas en América y de establecimiento de los Estados nacionales a partir del ámbito mexicano como estudio de caso. Una de sus intenciones es mostrar la pertinencia del concepto “cultura de guerra” para evaluar los múltiples impactos de aquellos conflictos en las sociedades iberoamericanas del primer cuarto del siglo XIX y las formas en que individuos, grupos y comunidades modificaron sociabilidades, organización y conductas a partir de la violencia y la movilización armada. Con el énfasis puesto en las prácticas, las experiencias y las intenciones de los sujetos involucrados en la guerra revolucionaria de Nueva España que resultaron en la independencia de México, la propuesta evalúa las perspectivas de los combatientes, los no combatientes y los impulsos institucionales de control, vigilancia y seguridad del nuevo orden.
Conversion of soil water infiltration rates between vegetated and non-vegetated land covers by using the Kostiakov-Lewis model
Authors: Vieira Nelson Otávio da Motta , Zanoni Diego Adania , Carvalho Glauber Altrão , Anache Jamil Alexandre Ayach , Oliveira Paulo Tarso Sanches de , Sobrinho Teodorico Alves
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Soil water infiltration rates are essential for hydrological studies, planning and design of irrigation and drainage systems, among other applications. Various studies have been carried out in plots with and without vegetation cover, aiming to identify the influence of the cover on the water infiltration process in soil. However, a few works have addressed the relationship between infiltration rates of a plot with and without vegetation cover. Here we investigated the ability to iterate between infiltration rates with and without vegetation cover, seeking to identify potential correlations. We propose an innovative and easy-to-use empirical model that allows the conversion of infiltration rates in systems with vegetation cover into infiltration rates without coverage and vice versa. Altogether, we used a dataset comprising 142 rainfall simulation experiments under plots with and without cover, including 6 different types of soil and 18 types of land cover and management. The proposed model was based on the Kostiakov-Lewis model, presenting performance similar to other infiltration models, which is effective in a variety of planting and vegetation cover systems.

Authors: Bolognesi Bruno , Ribeiro Ednaldo , Codato Adriano
Published: September 2022

RESUMO Assim como a política democrática se modifica, a percepção sobre os partidos que ela compõe também se altera. O objetivo desse trabalho é oferecer uma classificação ideológica nova e atualizada dos partidos políticos brasileiros. Através de um survey aplicado à comunidade de cientistas políticos em 2018, pedimos que classificassem os partidos na dimensão esquerda-direita e também quanto ao seu principal objetivo: a persecução de votos, de posições de governo ou de políticas. Os resultados apontam para um movimento centrífugo do sistema partidário, com a maioria dos partidos caminhando para a direita, e para o predomínio de partidos que podem ser classificados como fisiológicos, priorizando a díade votos-cargos e desprezando a programaticidade.

Published: September 2022

Este artigo analisa dinâmicas inseridas no processo de separação compulsória de mães e filhos em situação de vulnerabilidade em Belo Horizonte. Trata-se de um exercício cartográfico que pretendeu captar regimes de verdade, práticas de dominação e estratégias de governo para controle da vida de mulheres, em sua maioria, pobres e negras. Foram fontes utilizadas: narrativas de mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade e trabalhadores da saúde; entrevistas com atores estratégicos; análise documental; e diários de campo. Foram identificados movimentos indutores de segregação inseridos no cotidiano de serviços públicos e outros espaços sociais. Foi possível analisar a relação entre as segregações de determinada produção de mundo e interrogar certezas sobre possibilidades de vida e a produção da maternidade. Esse percurso constituiu oportunidade para dar visibilidade às estratégias de sobrevivência destas mulheres e provocar reflexões sobre a produção de territórios acolhedores para essas pessoas.

Published: September 2022

RESUMO O Programa Academia da Saúde (PAS) contribui para promoção da saúde e produção do cuidado, mas considerando a falta de investimentos, o objetivo foi apresentar um panorama do financiamento federal do PAS pelo Ministério da Saúde. Foi realizada pesquisa exploratória no Fundo Nacional de Saúde, sendo analisadas as transferências relacionadas à construção e custeio, de 2011 a 2020, para a gestão municipal. Foram identificados 2.164 polos concluídos, 1.691 que receberam recursos e não concluíram a obra e uma média anual de 1.441 polos sendo custeados em 2020. Em conclusão, o panorama apresentado no texto mostra que o PAS não foi priorizado e como exemplo está o valor de custeio altamente defasado já que não ocorreu atualização desde a sua criação.
CYANOACRYLATE GLUE FOR GASTROESOPHAGEAL VARICES: A SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE FROM NORTH INDIA
Authors: GARG Manjri , GUPTA Tarana , GOYAL Sandeep
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Background: In natural history of cirrhosis, variceal bleeding is one of the earliest decompensations to happen, and, if adequately managed, survival is improved. Gastric varices have challenges in management due to their location, size and propensity to bleed. The N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate (NBC) glue application has emerged as definitive therapy in bleeding gastric varices. Here we present our experience with use of NBC in management of gastric and difficult cases of esophageal varices. Methods: A total of 75 patients underwent NBC glue application for varices which included 69 patients with gastric varices and six patients with esophageal varices. All the procedures were done with flexible endoscope and sclerotherapy needle after due precautionary measures. Results: Hemostasis was varices in all patients after endotherapy. The average quantity of glue used was 2.75±0.95 mL. Complete obliteration with single session of NBC application was achieved in 55 patients. Re-bleeding occurred in five patients within 5 days of index event. 20 patients had in-hospital mortality but none was related to gastrointestinal bleeding. 6-week all-cause mortality was 26 (35%). Conclusion: Glue therapy with NBC is a life saving therapy in patients with bleeding gastric varices and esophageal varices not amenable to endoscopic variceal ligation or sclerotherapy.

Published: September 2022

RESUMO O artigo focaliza modelos de formação de professores em exercício no Brasil. Analisa a organização, os dispositivos formativos e as concepções de prática e saberes presentes no Curso de Primeira Licenciatura em Pedagogia do Plano Nacional de Formação de Professores da Educação Básica (Parfor), em sete câmpus de diferentes regiões do País. Ao combinar formação inicial e continuada, o curso tem o desafio de propor um modelo formativo que atenda às demandas profissionais docentes. A análise dos documentos oficiais e das entrevistas realizadas com coordenadores dos cursos revelou propostas marcadas pelas formas escolar e universitária de socialização. Essa configuração produz tensões com relação aos modelos formativos e à condição profissional dos professores cursistas que já passaram por processos de formação e socialização profissional. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de constituição de uma cultura profissional de formação docente situada na intersecção entre o campo de trabalho e a universidade.
Mapeamento de produções científicas (1997-2021) sobre bioaerossóis associados a estações de tratamento de esgoto
Authors: Silva Luiz Vitor da , Santos-Silva Jéssica Caroline dos , Rhoden Sandro Augusto , Souza André Luis Fachini de
Published: September 2022

RESUMO Processos operacionais em estações de tratamento de esgoto (ETEs) resultam na emissão de bioaerossóis que podem conter uma grande variedade de microrganismos com elevado potencial patogênico. O contato e/ou a inalação constante desses bioaerossóis representam reais ameaças à população circundante e aos trabalhadores dessas ETEs. Este estudo apresenta o primeiro mapeamento cienciométrico da base de dados Scopus (Elsevier) acerca das produções científicas sobre emissões de bioaerossóis em ETEs de 1997 a 2021. Os dados bibliográficos para o estudo foram extraídos do banco de dados Scopus, e, aplicando-se o software VOSviewer, foram mapeados diferentes indicadores de redes bibliométricas. Os resultados apontaram os periódicos Science of the Total Environment, Water Research e Journal of Hazardous Materials como os de maior impacto nessa base de dados, bem como com o maior número de publicações de pesquisas sobre o tema nas áreas de ciências ambientais e medicina. Entre os trabalhos encontrados, apenas um era brasileiro. Redes colaborativas entre China e Polônia apresentaram o maior número de publicações científicas. Os autores principais mais citados foram Lin Li, Junxin Liu e Ewa Korzeniewska. Entre as publicações encontradas, a tendência são estudos quanto aos riscos de exposição ocupacional e o monitoramento de bioaerossóis emitidos em ETEs como possível fonte de genes com resistência microbiana. Os resultados apresentam um estado da arte de pesquisas sobre bioaerossóis em ETEs e possivelmente servirão de base para outros pesquisadores que se interessem por esse tema, que é de grande relevância na área da saúde pública e ambiental.
¿Qué sabemos de la cultura académica? Revisión del concepto en la literatura en educación superior
Authors: Pedraja-Rejas Liliana , Rodríguez-Ponce Emilio , Labraña Julio
Published: September 2022

Resumen La idea de cultura académica tiene una amplia tradición en los estudios en educación superior. Sin embargo, existen pocos estudios actuales sobre este concepto. Este artículo tiene por objetivo revisar el uso del concepto de cultura académica en la literatura especializada en educación superior a partir de una revisión bibliográfica, fundamentada por técnicas bibliométricas, de los estudios sobre este tema en los últimos veinte años, prestando especial atención al estado del arte en el contexto latinoamericano. Los resultados muestran que si bien existe una utilización creciente del concepto, esta no ha ido vinculada a una definición clara ni a la consolidación de un campo de estudios específico. En particular, existen cuatro líneas de investigación sobre cultura académica: el impacto de los cambios en la economía política en los valores tradicionales de las instituciones de educación superior, los desafíos del intercambio internacional de estudiantes y académicos, el reconocimiento de los prejuicios implícitos a la cultura académica dominante, y la relación entre normas tácitas y procesos de reforma organizacional. Además se discute cómo el carácter fundamentalmente ateórico de los estudios en cultura académica refleja el estado de la investigación en educación superior, especialmente en el contexto latinoamericano.
Competencia digital docente para crear contenidos: autopercepción del profesorado en formación didáctico-científica de Galicia (España)
Authors: Rodríguez Nuria Castiñeira , Lorenzo-Rial María-Asunción , Rodríguez Uxío Pérez
Published: September 2022

Resumen La actual situación de emergencia sanitaria, originada por el virus SARS-CoV-2, ha colocado al profesorado, de todos los niveles educativos, ante el reto de la educación en línea lo que, en muchos casos, ha supuesto la reformulación del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. En este contexto, el profesorado ha tenido que hacer frente, en tiempo récord, al desarrollo de las competencias necesarias para poder continuar enseñando. En este marco, se presenta un estudio sobre la autopercepción que un grupo de profesorado en formación inicial de Galicia (España) tiene sobre su nivel de competencia digital docente, en general, y sobre sus conocimientos como profesionales capaces de crear contenido digital didáctico, en particular. Para ello, se ha elaborado un cuestionario ad hoc, partiendo del Marco común de competencia digital docente y de los marcos internacionales de International Society for Technology Education (ISTE) y Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco), en el que ha participado el estudiantado vinculado a materias didáctico-científicas de los grados de Educación infantil y de Educación primaria de la Universidad de Vigo, durante el curso 2019-2020. Los resultados del estudio muestran un nivel medio-bajo en “competencia digital” y en la subcompetencia de “creación de contenidos”. Frente a esto, se aprecia una actitud muy positiva ante el uso educativo de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC). Además, los resultados indican que existen circunstancias personales como el sexo, la edad y los estudios de la madre que pueden influir en la percepción que el futuro profesorado tiene sobre sus conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes frente a las TIC y para la creación de contenido digital.
Milling parameters and solid waste characterisation to use as supplementary cementitious materials
Authors: Costa Ana Rita Damasceno , Gonçalves Jardel Pereira
Published: September 2022

Abstract Despitethe increasing number of publications on residual raw materials as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), the milling beneficiation process and its parameters have been underexplored and presented. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the milling parameters for marble, clay tile, clay brick, and phosphogypsum waste processing for recycling as SCM. The raw materials were benefitted by grinding, sieving, and milling in a planetary ball mill, varying the time and rotation speed parameters. The waste was characterised by helium gas pycnometry, DSC, BET specific surface area, XRF, TGA, and XRD/Rietveld. Waste materials in which the mineral composition of phases was formed at higher temperatures were associated with higher demands for specific milling energy and lower grindability indexes. Marble waste (MW) has a mineral composition similar to commercial limestone and phosphogypsum (PG) can be an alternative to natural gypsum in cementitious materials. Clay brick waste (CBW) and clay tile waste (CTW) have the potential to be used as SCM to replace calcined natural clays, although CTW requires higher energy during milling processes.

Published: September 2022

Abstract Soilwaste has become an economically viable and sustainable solution in geotechnical engineering, whereas many industrial tailings, when associated with other materials are able to satisfy the properties required in projects. This study aimed to form incorporated soil mixtures with two types of waste aiming to use them in landfill liners. Six soil-waste mixtures were developed, where the waste quantity and the compaction energy were varied. They were normal (NOR) and modified (MOD). The formulated mixtures were: 0R-NOR, 10LM-NOR, 10AG-NOR, 0R-MOD, 10LM-MOD and 10AG-MOD, where 10LM means an addition of 10% lime-mud and 10AG means an addition of 10% agricultural-gypsum, both in relation to dry soil mass. The mixtures were subjected to the variable load permeability test to verify them in terms of the required liner parameters. It is worth mentioning that both compaction energy and waste addition were able to reduce soil permeability, however, the percentage of material added to the mixture was not sufficient to reach values lower than E-07 cm/s.
Efeitos do envelhecimento acelerado sobre o gesso beta com a adição de hidrorrepelente de massa
Authors: Rodrigues Sheila Daiane de Souza , Sousa José Getúlio Gomes de , Olivier Nelson Cárdenas
Published: September 2022

Resumo Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a durabilidade do gesso com a adição de hidrorrepelente quando submetido ao envelhecimento acelerado. Para isso foram utilizados gesso e hidrorrepelente de massa. Foi fixada a relação água/gesso em 0,7 e utilizados os teores de 0,2% e 0,4% de hidrorrepelente em relação à massa de gesso. O gesso de referência (sem hidrorrepelente) e o gesso contendo hidrorrepelente de massa foram avaliados na idade “zero” e após 10 e 20 ciclos de secagem e molhagem. Foram realizados ensaios de dureza, resistência à compressão, absorção por imersão total, absorção por capilaridade e análise de MEV e EDS. Aos 20 ciclos de envelhecimento acelerado, houve redução das propriedades mecânicas; em contrapartida, manteve-se uma redução considerável, tanto da absorção por imersão, quanto da absorção por capilaridade nos corpos de prova contendo o hidrorrepelente em comparação aos corpos de prova de referência. Em relação à microestrutura, mesmo aos 20 ciclos, foi possível identificar a presença do hidrorrepelente formando um “filme” sobre os cristais de gesso, tendo sido identificado um percentual maior do hidrorrepelente na região mais superficial do corpo de prova. Tais resultados mostram a eficácia do hidrorrepelente como barreira de proteção diante do envelhecimento acelerado.

Research Methodology and Mechanisms of Action of Current Orthopaedic Implant Coatings
Authors: Syeddan Syed Abdullah
Published: September 2022

Orthopedic implants are crucial interventions that are gaining greater importance in modern medicine to restore function to commonly affected joints. Each implantation carries the risk of implant-associated infection and loosening of the implant due to improper integration with soft tissue. Coating strategies have been developed to aid the growth of bone into the implant (osteointegration) and prevent biofilm formation to avoid infection. In this review, primary articles highlighting recent developments and advancements in orthopedic implant coating will be presented. Additionally, the methodology of the articles will be critiqued based on this research criteria: establishment of function on a theoretical basis, validation of coating function, and potential next steps/improvements based on results. A theoretical basis based on understanding the mechanisms at play of these various coatings allows for systems to be developed to tackle the tasks of osteointegration, subversion of infection, and avoidance of cytotoxicity. The current state of research methodology in coating design focuses too heavily on either osteointegration or the prevention of infection, thus, future development in medical implant coating needs to investigate the creation of a coating that accomplishes both tasks. Additionally, next steps and improvements to systems need to be better highlighted to move forward when problems arise within a system. Research currently showcasing new coatings is performed primarily in vitro and in vivo. More clinical trials need to be performed to highlight long-term sustainability, the structural integrity, and the safety of the implant.

Published: September 2022

Most Brazilian schools do not offer evacuation training from their buildings in the event of a fire. The lack of safety culture among students and teachers, coupled with a lack of knowledge and training on safety protocols to follow when facing fires, have led to unwanted outcomes, including unnecessary injuries and even death. This study describes the development of a prototype of a Serious Game to teach fire evacuation procedures in schools in the case of fire, aiming to help students to learn fire safety procedures, to know how to behave in case of fire, and to start discussions to create a positive fire safety culture. The prototype was used and evaluated by 35 public school students from 12 to 16 years old. The results indicated that students’ knowledge on how to behave in case of fire after they played the game was significantly improved, and the discussions triggered by the game contributed to the creation of a positive fire safety culture in school. The game developed proved useful to teach evacuation procedures and is available for use by all public schools in the city.
Toward a Digital Companion to Monitor a Mixed Reality Game
Authors: Bonnat Catherine  , Eric Sanchez
Published: September 2022

The game orchestration by the game master during a game-based learning session requires to (1) collect data from player interactions, (2) visualize indicators built with this data, (3) take decisions regarding the monitoring of the activity and (4) interact with players. The complexity of this monitoring increases with mixed-reality games due to the multiplicity of possible interactions with tangible and digital game elements. This article deals with playing analytics and the design of a digital companion to help a game master to orchestrate Geome, a mixed-reality game dedicated to museum school visits. The prototype is the result of a co-design process between researchers, practitioners, and computer scientists. This work allowed us to (1) define the interactions established during the use of the game that should be traced for the game master and (2) test the prototype with 3 classes (12-15 years old). We found that, while the players play the game as intended using most of the features, the game master makes little use of his dashboard and doesn’t interact with players through the dedicated interface.

Eroding the Past: A Study of the Approaches of Courts towards Oral and Expert Testimony in the Salem Commonage Land Claim
Authors: Bezuidenhout Jako
Published: September 2022

Since the Restitution of Land Rights Act 22 of 1994 came into operation, courts have come to attach considerable significance to historian expert testimony when ruling on land claims that made it to court. Therefore, a universal approach had to be adopted. Over the years the Supreme Court of Appeal and Constitutional Court have developed tried and tested methodologies to aid the courts in determining the weight and admissibility of a witness' testimony. In the Salem Commonage case, both the Land Claims Court and the majority of the Supreme Court of Appeal deviated from these precedents by adopting arguably a broader interpretation of the Act than intended. The case is unique in the sense that the dispute involves a commonage that was subdivided via a court order in 1940, resulting in the removal of the remaining black African population from that land. The question therefore was whether or not this group of people fulfilled the requirements for a valid claim as set out in the Act. The Land Claims Court and Supreme Court of Appeal felt that it had. The landowners applied for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court. The application was granted, but in his judgment, Edwin Cameron agreed with the rationale of both courts, and held that there was a valid claim. This was despite the fact that the testimony of the claimants' 'star witness', Msile Nondzube, was heavily criticised by the landowners as well as a Supreme Court of Appeal judge. The Constitutional Court emphasised that the Act was an extraordinary piece of legislation and had to be interpreted in such a way so as to address the injustices of the past. This included provisions of the Act which dealt with how oral and expert evidence would be dealt with.

Psoriasis is complexed, chronic, immunologically mediated disease, which involves skin and joints. Psoriasis is commonly connected with numerous other diseases such as liver diseases, metabolic syndrome, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemic heart disease. Interestingly, comorbidities of psoriasis are attention-grabbing issue, additionally it can cause impairment of quality of life and may be associated with depressive disorders. Altered levels of ceramides in psoriatic skin, may lead to an anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative states, consequently conducting to over-proliferation of keratinocytes and the development of skin lesions. Pathophysiology of psoriasis and its comorbidities is not fully understood yet. Sphingolipids, including ceramides, and their disturbed metabolism, may be the link between psoriasis and its comorbidities. Overall, the goal of this review was to discuss the role of sphingolipid disturbances in psoriasis and its comorbidities. PubMed was searched from February to the beginning of the May 2022.

In 2013, the World Health Organization estimated that annually about 250,000 to 500,000 people are affected by spinal cord injury (SCI). In Brazil it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 new cases per year, trauma is the predominant cause. Eighty percent of the victims are male. Among the most common disorders, neurogenic bladder dysfunction and neurogenic bowel dysfunction stand out. Behavioural therapy, physiotherapy and neuromodulation are among the promising interventions to improve the signs and symptoms of those two dysfunctions. The evaluation protocol is composed of questions about the signs and symptoms of neurogenic bladder dysfunction and neurogenic bowel dysfunction, including issues related to motor and sensory impairment, functional independence and quality of life, as well as orientations and interventions for the treatment of the dysfunction. This protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Alberto Santos Dumont Teaching and Research Institute (ISD) in September 2021, respecting the ethical aspects related to human subjects, according to resolution 466/2012 of the National Health Council and its complements. Registration number: CAAE: 46719121.3.0000.0129. It has been used in the development of studies and outpatient treatment at the Teaching and Health Research Centre Anita Garibaldi (CEPS).

Intelligent Information Support for Decision Making in Maintenance and Equipment Repair Management is discussed in this article. The authors propose a solution approach that includes Bayes method, knowledge engineering technologies and fuzzy logic to formalization of revealed and expert knowledge (production rules system) for diagnostics, (fuzzy production system) for classify equipment and components, forecasting and optimization methods for planning the components procurement. Practical realization is performed using analytical MATLAB platform and EXSYS Corvid and software developed in USATU. The proposed approach by authors of this article can be implemented as the local application for information system, or as part of the creation of the digital twin of the production system. The results of experimental studies have shown a significant gain in time in decision-making in the diagnostic task, as well as in the level of timely replacement of components by 12 percent due to the introduction of demand coefficients in planning purchases.

This study examines the important roles that human resources (HR) for information technology (IT) professionals and information systems (IS) practices for all workers in an organization play in shaping returns on firms’ IT investments. In particular, we consider how incentives, autonomy, and training for IT professionals can enable a firm to better leverage the value of its IT investments. We argue that well-trained, motivated, and empowered IT professionals can help firms make better strategic choices in allocating IT investments and implementing IT projects. We also demonstrate how this moderating relationship depends upon collaborative IS and autonomy-enhancing IS practices that affect other knowledge workers in the firm. We leverage archival data for 228 firms with 736 firm-year observations and document two key findings. We find (1) that empowering HR practices for IT professionals positively moderate the effect of IT investments on firm performance, and (2) that the alignment between empowering HR practices for IT professionals and firm-wide collaborative IS practices enhances the value that firms derive from IT investments. Our results suggest that the business value of IT investments is linked to the rewards and opportunities offered to IT professionals, who have a pivotal role in the effective deployment of IT in organizations.

The article analyses the specifics of the formation of the American publishing system in the context of the incipience of national culture and statehood. It highlights the importance of print production as an important component of the overall system for the formation and maintenance of the original face of the United States – both in the early stages of the formation of the state and culture, as well as in modern realities, complicated by the Covid pandemic situation. The US publishing system is at the forefront of technological changes that affect both American and world reading and book culture: not only the diversity and democratisation of the form of consumer culture, but also the quality of the media sphere as a special space for the life of a modern person. The experience of the American book market, the US publishing industry is considered, demonstrating the importance of publishing as a meaningful tool for socialisation and inculturation, its significant influence on the formation of national traditions of "bookishness", reading culture, and on the level of the general cultural education of the nation.

Yoga may offer benefits for children and adolescents affected by cancer or blood disease, yet there are challenges in translating evidence to practice. Yoga instructors are critical for the delivery of yoga. Understanding yoga instructors’ experiences offering yoga to children and adolescents affected by cancer or blood disease could provide information to guide required competencies and training, as well as elucidate factors to consider in future research and programs. Therefore, the present study sought to understand yoga instructors’ lived experiences preparing for and facilitating yoga for children and adolescents affected by cancer or blood disease. Fourteen yoga instructors with experience facilitating yoga for this population participated in semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using principles of interpretive description and thematic analysis. Five unique themes were identified: (1) “I believe in and see the perceived benefits of yoga on and off the mat”; (2) “I feel equipped to deliver yoga but desire further training”; (3) “what I need to deliver a safe yoga program”; (4) “I must be adaptable to successfully facilitate a yoga program”; and (5) “what I need to ensure yoga is widely available.” Findings highlight the varied and comprehensive training opportunities yoga instructors sought, while elucidating their training limitations. Yoga instructors shared their perspectives on concerted attention to safety, effectiveness, and access when developing research and programs. This study represents a first step toward defining required competencies for delivering yoga to this population and lays the foundation for future research and programs.

Constitutional and Legal Principle of Unity of the System of Public Power in the Russian Federation: Formation and Development
Authors: Shaykhutdinova R. R.
Published: September 2022

The article presents various points of view existing in the scientific literature on the concept of “public power”. When considering them, the author identifies and justifies two stages: before the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993 and after amendments to it in July 2020. At the first stage, public power was identified with state power. At the second stage, the term “public power” in the Constitution of Russia is used as a generalizing concept that includes state bodies and local self-government bodies, which, interacting with each other, act as a power vertical at different levels and, simultaneously, complementing each other, ensure the unity of the system of public power in the Russian Federation. The author substantiates the conclusion that the concept of public power, the principle of unity of its system and other issues arising from constitutional and legal regulation have been developed in legislative acts. They analyze normative acts, decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the issue under consideration and draw appropriate conclusions.
