Development of DNA Barcode for Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida using In silico Approaches Based on mat-K Sequences from Chloroplast Genomes
Authors: Resmi Denia Dwi Citra , Hidayat Topik , Sriyati Siti
Published: November 2021

Indonesia has been estimated to contain 20,000 species of Magnoliophyta around the world. The current status of Indonesia's biodiversity shows that only 15.5% of the total flora in Indonesia has been identified. This is such a low percentage, requires researchers to obtain a rapid identification method, so that unidentified species can be grouped, at least at the level of the Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida classes. DNA barcoding is a technique that can be used to quickly identify species based on short sequences of specific regions in the genome. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida plants based on the mat-K marker and to obtain DNA barcodes for each of the Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida classes. This study used an in silico approach because the molecular data about these two selected classes with 101 species for samples are abundant in Genbank NCBI database. The primary design was carried out after analyzing the phylogenetic relationship between Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida. In silico analysis using BioEdit and PAUP to reconstructthe phylogenetic tree based on mat-K DNA showed results that were in line with previous studies. The phylogenetic tree using molecular data confirms that Magnoliopsida is the ancestor of Liliopsida. This study succeeded in obtaining two pairs of specific primers for Magnoliopsida and Liliopsida, which are cttcagtggtacggagtcaaat and gagccaaagttttagcacaagaa for Magnoliopsida, whereas cccatccatatggaaatcttggt and ttgaagccagaattgcttttcc for Liliopsida. These primers can later be used to distinguish the Magnoliopsida group from Liliopsida.

Published: November 2021

Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) are widely used as bioconverter agents for various organics waste, and BSF pupae are often used as fodder for poultry and fish, because the BSF pupae have a high protein content. This study focused on applying BSFL as a bioconversion agent of the fermented barley waste to convert it to larvae biomass. Prior to application, barley waste was fermented either using effective microorganisms-4 (EM4), leachate, and water for seven days. The fermented barley waste was applied as feeding material for BSFL at the rate of 100 mg/larvae/days. As control commercial chicken fed (CF) was applied as feeding material at a similar feeding rate. During this study, waste reduction index (WRI), and efficiency of digested feed (ECD) were calculated, and the protein content in the BSF prepupae was analyzed. The results of this study showed that BSFL fed with CF produces the shortest development time (27 days), and high consumption rate. BSFL fed with barley waste fermented with EM4 (BE) and Leachate (BL) produces a larval period of 31 and 30 days respectively, and statistically those were not significantly different from control. This study showed that treatments of BE and BL, produced a very high larval survival rates, 98.67% and 97.00% respectively, and those two treatments were not statistically different from the control (96.67%). Although the control treatment resulted in a higher WRI compared to the other treatments, but the ECD of BE and BL treatments were higher than the ECD of the control. From this study, it can be concluded that BSFL has a good ability to convert fermented barley waste as well as controls, and the prepupae has a high protein content (42%), so BSFL fed with fermented barley waste has the opportunity to be used as a fed for poultry and fish.

Determination of actual characteristic curve of main ventilation fan at Quang Ninh underground coal mines using field measurement method
Authors: Van Chi Dao , Le Tien Dung , Ha Tran Xuan
Published: November 2021

Determining a proper operation mode of the main ventilation fan at an underground coal mine primarily uses the theoretical characteristic curves of the fan’s manufacturer. Because these curves are developed in laboratory-standard conditions, the characteristic curves under different conditions in practice significantly change, seriously impacting the ventilation efficiency and environmental safety of mine. This paper presents a determination of the main fan's actual characteristic curve using a field measurement method. The method involves the (i) simultaneous measurement of airflow and air pressure at designated locations in fan drift and ventilation crosscut and (ii) statistical analysis and interpolation of the measured data. The results show that the fan actual pressure curve is permanently displaced to the left and steeper than the corresponding theoretical pressure curve in an on-site operating mode. The finding points out that on-site fans operate in overload mode that can quickly damage their mechanical components. This method provides mining engineers with an easy-to-apply tool for proper adjustment of the operation mode. This improves ventilation efficiency, increases environmental safety, and reduces the underground coal mine operational costs.
Concept “Immortal Regiment” in the Linguistic Consciousness of Teenagers
Authors:   Omsk State Transport University, Fesenko Olga , Pushkarev Vitaliy ,   Omsk Cadet Military Corps
Published: November 2021

The article presents the results of an associative experiment that allow us to describe the structure of the concept "Immortal Regiment" in the linguistic consciousness of senior school pupils, college students and cadets. The research has made it possible to define concept core components (memory, war, pride, victory, veterans) and peripheral ones (unity, heroes, glory, posters, holiday, Motherland, etc.). Most of the components have a positive connotation. There are significant differences in the structure of the concept, identified in the linguistic consciousness of cadets (compared to schoolchildren and students). Associates appear in the concept core; they indicate that a personally significant connection with the events of the Great Patriotic War is preserved. This connection is almost lost among modern teenagers of the other social groups, which is caused by the "symbolic event reconstruction" that changes personal attitude to history in course of time. The periphery of the concept is specific in the view of the cadets; it includes the components that are not marked by the rest of the participants of the experiment. The concept "Immortal Regiment" is stated to have positive associates, which tend to be abstract. It means that to preserve the historical memory, it is necessary to personalize the concept. The fields of application include conceptology, social linguistics, cultural linguistics.
Digital Twins in Healthcare: an Assessment of Technological and Practical Prospects
Authors: Kobyakova Olga  S. , Starodubov Vladimir  I. , Kurakova Natalia  G. , Tsvetkova Liliya A.
Published: November 2021

Background. The technological direction digital Twins is included in the list of the main strategic technological trends of 20192021. At the end of 2021, an initiative was announced in the Russian Federation aimed at creating a digital twin in the domestic healthcare system as part of the primary care modernization project. Aims the purpose of the study is to review possible ways of using digital twins technology in the global healthcare system and in its Russian segment, as well as to build patent and publication landscapes to identify technological and academic leaders of the frontier. Methods. Scientometric and patent analysis. Results. The key stages of the development of the frontier digital twins in healthcare are traced. According to the data of the scientometric and patent analyses carried out in the priority direction digital twins in healthcare and medicine, the Russian Federation at the end of 2021 ranks 35th in the world in terms of specific weight in the total number of articles in publications indexed in WoS, and 20th in the world in terms of specific weight in the total number of patent applications for an invention, i.e. it is not among the 10 leading countries. The citation of domestic publications in the internationalized segment is significantly lower than the average (normalized) indicator, which does not give grounds to talk about the achievement of research excellence and even world-class domestic competence centers. Conclusion. The creation of the Digital Healthcare Consortium in 2018, the world-class Scientific Center Digital Biodesign and Personalized Healthcare in 2020 and the initiative of the regulator (Ministry of Health of Russia) in 2021 should be noted as key events in the development of the frontier in the Russian Federation. At the same time, it is important to note that the main global actors in the transformation of the digital twins frontier into high-tech equipment and services are not research centers, but companies acting simultaneously as qualified customers and beneficiaries of ongoing projects of a full innovation cycle. Having huge RD budgets and having a clear goal setting, it is these participants in the process that become the main drivers of the technological development of the healthcare sector associated with the introduction of digital twins. In this regard, the absence of the direction of Russian companies on the patent landscape cannot but cause concern, which creates risks of using innovative solutions created in the domestic sector of interdisciplinary research in the interests of foreign corporations identified as technology leaders in this review.
Nature and Extent of International Diversification: Empirical Evidence from India
Authors:   Guru Nanak Dev University, KHURANA Meenu , BHATIA Aparna ,   Guru Nanak Dev University
Published: November 2021

The paper aims to measure the extent of international diversification achieved by Indian companies in the recent time period. The study also investigates the nature of international diversification of companies during their transition beyond national boundaries. This evaluation of the firm’s nature and extent of internationalization is further extended to cover the period of COVID-19 as well. The Jacquemin and Berry Entropy Approach (1979) is applied to operationalize the firm’s international diversification. It facilitates the measurement of both inter-region and intra-region diversification. World Bank Geographical Region Classification Framework (2018) has been used to facilitate the applicability of the approach applied. Results indicate that Indian companies were inclined to grow beyond their home territories. However, the extent of international diversification is low as ‘Internationally Low Diversification (ILD)’ reveals to be the most popular strategy amongst Indian companies. Nature depicts a preference for relatedness than unrelatedness for overseas expansion as firms prefer intra-region expansion as compared to moving inter-region. Stagnation and halt are witnessed in the global expansion of companies in the period of the pandemic. The present study is novel as it comprehensively evaluates the international growth strategies preferred by Indian companies in the pre-pandemic and the pandemic period.
Extraction of Lipophilic Antioxidants from Native Tomato Using Green Technologies
Authors: Gómez-Linton Darío R. , Navarro-Ocaña Arturo , Alavez Silvestre , Lobato-Ortiz Ricardo , Román-Guerrero Angélica , Mendoza-Espinoza José Alberto , Villa-Hernández Juan Manuel , Pérez-Flores Pérez-Flores
Published: November 2021

Research background. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit is highly consumed
worldwide and contains high amounts of carotenoids and tocopherols, two powerful
antioxidants. Native tomato genotypes are rarely used in large-scale market but serve
as a reservoir to diversify the species gene pool and can be employed to obtain functional compounds. Extraction methods are currently changing towards cleaner procedures that are more efficient and environmentally friendly, including avoiding toxic or polluting solvents.
Experimental approach. In this study, factorial and fractional factorial designs were used to evaluate the efficiency of digestive enzymes, sonication and green solvents to obtain lipophilic antioxidant extracts from native tomato. To monitor the efficiency of the extraction process, spectrophotometric quantification of total carotenoids and antioxidant activity was carried out, and then individual quantification of carotenoids and tocopherols in the extracts was done by HPLC.
Results and conclusions. Digestive enzymes and sonication increased the carotenoid content and the antioxidant activity of the obtained extracts when applied individually. However, when these treatments were applied together and in combination with isopropyl acetate, a green solvent, the obtained extracts had the highest carotenoid and tocopherol contents as well as the maximal antioxidant activity. A correlation analysis suggested that antioxidant activity resulted from synergistic effects rather than individual compounds. Tomato extracts were obtained through a rapid and environmentally friendly extraction method and their antioxidant activity was enhanced.
Novelty and scientific contribution. Tomato fruits have been the subject of numerous studies; however, functional compound extraction through environmentally friendly methods remains an attractive use of native tomato fruit, enhancing its limited production and harnessing a large amount of tomato product industry. There are few reports where environmentally friendly extraction methods are combined; even rarer are those where green solvents are also used. In this work, the combination of different environmentally friendly extraction methods improved the extraction of carotenoids and tocopherols and allowed to establish a more efficient process. These results could stimulate the use of clean technologies and make the native tomato more attractive for industrial or compound extraction processes.

The crisis of COVID-19 and opportunities for reimagining education
Authors: Soudien Crain , Harvey Jaqueline
Published: November 2021

Our argument in this brief contribution is that COVID-19 has brought the experience of education to a crisis with respect to its practices and the theories that inform it. The practice crisis is about the glaring inequalities in peoples' access to education. The theory crisis is about how we learn. Our contention is that our dominant cohort learning approaches fail to address the many differences children bring to the learning task. In response we make two key moves: the first is to restore the centrality of cognition in all processes of teaching and learning, and the second is to situate cognition in its full biopsychosocial complexity. With respect to the first move we begin our discussion of teaching and learning with a focus on cognition and particularly on its executive function component. We provide the explanation of what it is, and with that, we move to our second to show the importance of new learnings about epigenetics that explain the significance of the relationship between the biological and the social to the cognitive process.
Community-based learning in higher education: A portal for knowledge production in the time of COVID-19
Authors: Thabethe Nompumelelo , Reddy Sarasvathie
Published: November 2021

At the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, the world-renowned writer and political activist, Arundhati Roy, signalled that the pandemic is "a portal, a gateway between one world and the next . . . [and] we can choose to walk through it." Roy's views highlight how we can imagine our world anew through reflection in the time of COVID-19. In this article, we examine the epistemological experiences of students enrolled in a course in community-based learning (CBL) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and consider how CBL during COVID-19 serves as a portal for understanding knowledge that is produced at the nexus between the university and the community. We deemed the Community of Inquiry framework to be a suitable theoretical lens based on its appreciation of the nexus between social (community), teaching (classroom), and cognitive (critical thinking) elements in an online educational experience. Our findings indicate that COVID-19 provides an opportunity for CBL to serve as a portal for understanding how the students' epistemological experiences during the pandemic influenced knowledge production. This is beneficial since university education most often places at the periphery knowledge that students from the surrounding communities bring to the classroom. It is our contention that students bring epistemic value to the university that is not affirmed during the knowledge production process. We conclude that CBL can indeed serve as the gateway for knowledge production between universities and communities during and beyond COVID-19.
WRITING-INTENSIVE COURSES ACROSS THE LAW CURRICULUM: DEVELOPING LAW STUDENTS’ CRITICAL THINKING AND WRITING SKILLS
Authors: Theo Broodryk
Published: November 2021

This article will explore the use of writing-intensive courses across the law curriculum, vested in the belief that writing, as an articulation of thinking, enhances learning where it is meaningfully and intentionally embedded into a course structure. The article commences by pointing out that law students often regard the writing process and the critical thinking process as mutually exclusive and therefore fail to appreciate that writing is in fact the end-result of a process of argumentation or analysis. As a result of students‟ inability to engage effectively in a process of critical thinking, they tend to reach closure too quickly when presented with a critical-thinking problem. Consequently, students often fail to engage in a process of exploratory thinking, enabling them to suspend judgment and to enter into the spirit of opposing views. The article specifically focuses on the writing strategy recently implemented by the Faculty of Law, Stellenbosch University with the primary aim of establishing a coordinated approach to the development of research and writing skills within the LLB programme as an integral part of legal education within the Faculty. The Strategy is intended to enhance the writing and research skills of LLB students through a number of interrelated interventions implemented across the entire LLB programme. A principal aim is to inculcate both generic and specific writing skills in LLB graduates in a manner that is integrated into the curriculum. A key component of the Strategy, on which the article will focus, entails the identification and development of writing-intensive courses in terms of which writing and research assignments are integrated into substantive courses. Writing-intensive courses support the notion of “writing to learn” as opposed to “learning to write” and thus encourage critical thinking. They are assignment-centred rather than text- and lecture-centred; they are structured so as to enable exploratory thinking (and thus writing); they encourage students to become actively involved in their own learning processes; and they consist of assignments that require students to arrive at well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards, justifying their ideas in writing or other appropriate modes. In these courses, students are instructed on writing skills alongside the substantive content of the particular course and given exercises to develop such skills with reference to the substantive content of the course. Each course is focused on specific writing skills and successive courses are focused on developing these skills. The article concludes by dealing with the practical difficulties and benefits associated with the development of writing-intensive courses, one of which is the fact that students not only develop generic writing skills, but they also develop specific writing skills within the academic discourse of our environment – they therefore do not only learn to write, but to write in law.
VALUE (X 2) + FINE = DAMAGES? NOTES ON THE IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS BY THE COURTS OF CHIEFS (SENIOR TRADITIONAL LEADERS) AND HEADMEN
Authors: Elmarie Knoetze
Published: November 2021

The main fora for the adjudication of customary-law cases on a daily basis are the courts of chiefs (senior traditional leaders) and headmen (the so-called traditional courts) which were given recognition by the Black Administration Act. Section 12 of the Act conferred civil jurisdiction on designated chiefs (or senior traditional leaders) and headmen to hear cases arising out of Black law and custom, whereas criminal jurisdiction was regulated by section 20 of the same. It is the purpose of this note to consider the jurisdiction of these courts in so far as it relates to their judgments, or, in other words, the imposition of sanctions or orders. This will be followed by a consideration of the orders or sanctions that may be given by traditional courts in terms of section 10 of the Traditional Courts Bill. The note will be concluded by a discussion of the nature of customary sanctions, taking into account the current (official) law, proposed law (in terms of the Traditional Courts Bill) as well as the living law.For purposes of the discussion, the imposition of sanctions by courts with civil jurisdiction will be emphasized and used as examples. To reflect the living law, regard will be had to a number of case studies compiled by Prof FA de Villiers, former professor of law at the University of the Western Cape (information obtained from and used with permission of the researcher). The case studies were recorded from official reports of chiefs‟ court judgments from 1995-2004 of the BaNkuna traditional authority to the Magistrates‟ Court with concurrent jurisdiction, Limpopo Province.
Gender Inequity: Older Workers and the Gender Labor Income Gap in Peru
Authors: Cruz Saco Maria Amparo , Gil Mirian , Campos Cynthia
Published: November 2021

Using annual household surveys from 2004 to 2019, we examine the existence of a gender labor income gap among older persons in Peru. Two labor income models are estimated: Model 1 uses a basic set of demographic, socioeconomic, and personal characteristics as regressors (also called endowments); Model 2 uses the basic set plus additional personal characteristics. The Misner‐type relationship holds with positive returns for education and experience, and the anticipated association to the endowments. The Oaxaca‐Blinder decomposition yields an explained labor income gender gap of 44.4% (Model 1) and 51.5% (Model 2), i.e., controlling for endowments, approximately one half of the labor income difference remains unexplained and can be attributed to discrimination and labor segregation. In light of these results, we estimate Model 3 with two additional variables (head of household and beneficiary of intergenerational private transfer) which attempt to capture gendered stereotypes. With these two variables which provide information on gender discrimination the explained labor income gap for Model 3 is 71.1%—an increase of 19.6%. The unexplained component of the difference in labor income amounts to 28.8% that we attribute to unobserved variables that operate as post‐labor market elements in patriarchal societies. Results show that gender inequity during a woman’s life‐span manifests acutely among older women, which raises important implications for policy interventions.
Festivals for Inclusion? Examining the Politics of Cultural Events in Northern Cyprus
Authors: Sadikoglu Rahme
Published: November 2021

In Northern Cyprus, cultural festivals are increasingly popular. The routinely celebrated festivals transform small villages into colourful celebrations with lots of activities and great culinary experiences, offering opportunities for social contact between members of different generations. People meet in the streets, where traditional food and handicrafts are on display and traditional folk dance performances usually take place. Cultural events provide an important space in which older generations often nostalgically remember the past with others of their generation and share their memories with the young people. Bi‐communal interactions between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots in these public spaces also help leave behind and bury the violence of the past, nationalistic dogma, and intolerance. Drawing on ideas from postcolonial theory, cultural studies, sociology, and scholarship on public art, this article develops a post‐postcolonial approach to explore the politics and value of Turkish Cypriot cultural festivals and the ways in which Turkish Cypriots are bridging differences with Greek Cypriots. Through observations, conversations, and interviews conducted with Turkish Cypriots from June 2014 to October 2017, the article also discusses the ways in which public art encourages dialogue and multicultural tolerance in Cyprus. The article argues that the rise of interest in Turkish Cypriot folk arts and multicultural tolerance, as propagated by Turkish Cypriots, should be understood in more complex terms than simply that of positive inclusion, as an ambivalence closely connected to the East/West division. Accordingly, the article illustrates that the coexistence of inclu‐ sion and exclusion are at the heart of Turkish Cypriot society.
Gender and Public Space: Mapping Palimpsests of Art, Design, and Agency in Shahbag, Dhaka
Authors: Begum Salma , Hossain Jinat , Stevens Jeroen
Published: November 2021

Public space is an essential social infrastructure for the continuous negotiation of city life and democracy because it offers (ideally) an interactive platform for people from diverse social and cultural backgrounds and the forms of public life they cherish. This contribution inquires how public space’s design and materiality play a fundamental role in popular struggles for social justice. By focusing on the differentiated access of women to public space, the role of gender in its design, and appropriation through a feminist intersectionality lens, this article aims to understand better the complex interplay between urban space and its non‐human material agency vis‐à‐vis citizen mobilizations, movements, and socially engaged art interventions. Drawing from extensive participant observation and spatial analysis, the exemplary public space of Shahbag Chattwar (a public square/plaza) will shed light on the “gendered spatiality” of pivotal popular mobilizations and reclamations from the historical momentum of the 1952 language movement, over the 2013 contemporary Shahbag protests, and to the 2020 anti‐metro rail protests at the Dhaka University campus. Analyzing urban space as a “palimpsest,” this research reflects on both historic and ongoing scenarios of popular protests as they repeatedly occupy public space and leave spatial traces through spatial design and art. In sum, the article seeks to gain insight into public space as a principal site of contestation and negotiation of juxtaposed layers of gendered dynamics, civil rights, secularism, and fundamentalism.
Exploring Embodied Place Attachment Through Co‐Creative Art Trajectories: The Case of Mount Murals
Authors: Segers Ruth , Hannes Karin , Heylighen Ann , Van den Broeck Pieter
Published: November 2021

The built and living environment in the Flemish region in Belgium is evolving noticeably. It is densifying at an ever‐faster pace and, along the way, becoming increasingly unfamiliar to its inhabitants. Many people face profound difficulties in autonomously and positively dealing with such drastic changes, causing their feeling of home to waver. Triggered by these challenges and supported by the local authority of a Flemish town, the experimental and co‐creative art project Mount Murals set out to stimulate new embodied interactions between and among local residents of various ages and backgrounds and with their built environment. These include remembering place‐related sentiments, being aware of body language that plays between participants while co‐creating and sensing an invigorating stimulus when seeing results. Awakening intrinsic appreciation in people for their own environment and associated social relationships stimulates an inclusive dealing with estranged relationships in space. Referring to the relational neuroscience principles attachment, co‐creating and co‐regulating as a modus of relational resonating, we explore how and under which conditions Mount Murals’ co‐creative art trajectory supports an evolving embodied place attachment, an essential element of the sense of belonging, in participants. By embedding assets inherent to art creation in action research and starting with meaningful everyday objects, Mount Murals carries forward an art expression that considers the co‐creation process and its co‐creative products as equally important.
Preservice Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge about Repeating Patterns and their Ability to Notice Preschoolers Algebraic Thinking
Authors: Cabral Joana , Oliveira Hélia , Mendes Fátima
Published: November 2021

Background: Several studies have shown that many preservice teachers (PTs) who teach in the early years have a superficial knowledge about repeating patterns (RPs), which affects their knowledge about children’s algebraic thinking. Objective: This article aims to understand PTs’ algebraic thinking and their ability to notice preschoolers algebraic thinking and how these two domains articulate within a teacher education experiment. Design: The study follows a qualitative methodology based on participant observation, complemented by document collection. Setting and participants: The study stems from a teaching experiment carried out in a school module focused on patterns and algebra of a degree in basic education, with two pairs of PTs as participants. Data collection and analysis: The data come from the written productions and discussions between the elements of each pair of PTs within the scope of the tasks proposed in the teacher education course, adopting an original analysis framework. Results: The results reveal that the PTs successfully identify the structure of the RPs and the general position of each term; however, one of the pairs still find difficulties in fully understanding that mathematical object. The pairs attend to relevant aspects of children’s algebraic thinking, although sometimes with limited interpretation. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of creating opportunities in initial teacher education for PTs to develop their algebraic thinking from an early algebra perspective and to analyse, in this context, the preschoolers’ work.

Published: November 2021

Background: Developing autonomy, the ability to solve problem situations, make decisions and act for the benefit of your social environment are modern life skills and can be developed in the school environment, along with mathematical content, and can be viable through the methodology of project projects, using active methodologies and the resources of digital technologies. Objectives: Discuss the Mathematics Curriculum or the work projects as a pedagogical proposition based on the development of three projects with the thematic Cryptography, Music, and Project launching applicable to the High School. Design: Qualitative research that sought to investigate work with projects in High School was used. Setting and Participants: Experiments developed with two classes of high school students in the Rio Grande do Sul state. Data collection and analysis: Data collection took place during the development of the project stages through students' written records and questionnaires. Results: It is considered that the Work Projects developed constituted a possibility to modify the role of the student and the teacher, allowing students to become active, participative, and committed to the development of their knowledge. Conclusions: It is understood that students, their learning and development must be the focus of the educational process. Therefore, the school curriculum must enable students to assume the role and responsibility for their learning.
The teaching participation in curricular elaboration processes: Paulo Freire's democratic experience in São Paulo
Authors: Valle Júlio César , Santos Vinício De Macedo
Published: November 2021

Background: The Curriculum Reorientation Movement proposed by educator Paulo Freire and carried out in the city of São Paulo, from 1989 to 1992, when he was secretary of education, was an educational management experience that, by developing a public policy for the production of curriculum documents for primary schools, recognized the key position of the teacher's work at school and moved it to the center of the discussion process, inaugurating a dynamic of dialogue and reflection that had not been experienced so far. Objective: To think and discuss about which has been the place for teaching work in the curricular policies, as well as its effects on the teaching profession and identity. Design: a part of a research already completed, for which documents, interviews and the analysis of the relevant bibliography were taken as the basis for taking and analyzing data from the investigated process. The documents are all those prepared by the management to conduct the curriculum policy in question; Among the interviewees, a small group composed of different actors involved in the curriculum reorientation process (manager, specialist technician, pedagogical advisor and teacher) was used to compose a panel of points of view of the different subjects responsible for the formulation, mediation and execution curriculum policies in schools; and by the bibliographical research. Setting and participants: Although the interviews do not explicitly constitute the cut that originated this text, some of the curricular policy makers and also mathematics teachers who worked in public schools in São Paulo at the time were interviewed. Data collection and analysis: The documents analyzed were obtained from the Memory Center of the Municipal Education Department of São Paulo. The analysis allowed us to identify a set of documents that led to curriculum reorganization. We identified, in documents, interviews and bibliographical research, how teachers participated in the curriculum development process. Results: The “non-place” given to teaching work in the prescriptive curricular policies, such as the BNCC, actively produces the teaching work as fragile, inconsistent, ineffective, and inefficient, weakening it and favoring its deprofessionalization. This weakening of the teaching work, actively produced, is used, as in a cycle, to justify more centralized, more prescriptive, and more authoritarian curricular policies. Conclusion: a democratic experience in curriculum policy can reaffirm the autonomy, authority and otherness of teachers. Freire's curriculum policy, despite its limits and obstacles, presented itself as capable of promoting and expanding the spaces for its collective and authorial participation and construction.
Understanding the Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) of mathematics teachers as a possibility for reflection on the use of educational technology
Authors: Valle Luciene A. Cardoso , Girotto Junior Gildo
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACTBackground: The broader access to technological resources, combined with pedagogical practices implementation, shows the need of continuing education of teachers on Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT). Recognizing the knowledge that professionals need in their work is a path that allows the evaluation and creation of training measures. Objectives: Considering the Pedagogical and Technological Content Knowledge (TPACK) as a reference, we sought to investigate the professional knowledge of mathematics teachers about digital technological resources and their possible incorporation in pedagogical practices. Design: A qualitative research was carried out. Setting and Participants: Mathematics teachers working in high school, technical and higher education who participated in a short-term training proposal. Data collection and analysis: The research was based on meetings with mathematics teachers, in which the use of resources was discussed and lesson plans were elaborated; they were, then, followed up in a real scenario. Specific instruments, lesson plans, audiovisual records, and interviews were analyzed by Textual Discursive Analysis (TDA), provided evidence about teachers’ use of resources. Results: Different professional knowledge linked to TPACK were recognized at different levels and some factors such as professional experience and technological appropriation proved to be influential. Conclusions: In addition to the possibility of recognizing professional knowledge, it was noted that a specific character under the interpretation of TPACK recognizes such knowledge even in teachers with a low level of technology appropriation, which allowed reflections on the construct itself and its possible correlations with the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK).

One of the most serious complications after low anterior resection is the failure of sutures of colorectal anastomosis, which is the most common surgical complication that results in patient’s death. Promptly diagnosed anastomotic leakage in postoperative period is challenging. Nevertheless, elimination of risk factors in preoperative period can significantly reduce complication rates.The purpose of this review article is to analyze possible risk factors and methods for preventing colorectal anastomosis leakage.An important area of prevention and optimization of treatment options for anastomotic leakage is the development of prognostic measures to eliminate risk factors. We see the prospects for this direction in the introduction of a nomogram, which allows the surgeon to assess the possible outcomes of the operation, to choose the optimal tactics with a minimum risk of complications, as well as the introduction of methods to avoid or prevent the development of complications of colorectal anastomosis.

This review aims to provide up-to-date information on the factors associated with an increased risk of vaginal fistula in women with cervical cancer, as well as on methods of their prevention and treatment. It includes data on various types of vaginal fistulas in cervical cancer patients and risk factors for their development, according to foreign and Russian research articles published over the last 20 years. Cervical cancer is one of the most challenging oncological diseases in the Russian Federation, because it is detected at stage III–IV in more than 30 % of women. Such a high incidence of cervical cancer and the need for radiotherapy determine high risk of fistulas, which significantly impairs the quality of life. Thus, identification of factors associated with vaginal fistulas, as well as methods of their prevention and treatment remains a highly relevant task for the Russian healthcare system.

Published: November 2021

The article deals with the problem of aesthetic education of senior school students, which provides the development of creatively active personality, who can fully perceive the beautiful, harmonious and perfect in the environment. Therefore, modern school channels its efforts to ensure the aesthetic education of the pupils, creating pedagogical conditions that enhance aesthetic education of the learners. Since ancient times, aesthetic education has occupied a prominent place in the process of shaping personal and cultural identity. The ability to feel, perceive, understand, realize, and create beautiful things are specific manifestations of spiritual and cultural maturity of a person whose aesthetic perception and sense is shaped and developed throughout the life. One of the ways to enhance the development of aesthetic values and perception is through engaging learners in extracurricular activities. The latter enable students to expand cultural horizons and world view as well as enhance creative thinking. Extracurricular work deepens sociocultural knowledge as well as adds to the FL communication skills of the learners. Pupils who have failed, for various reasons, to realize their creative potential in the classroom, can do when engaged in extracurricular work due to the atmosphere of trust, mutual understanding, cooperation and mutual created. The authors offer a practical guide to an extracurricular activity in English for senior schoolers. The purpose of this activity is to improve pupils’ communication skills, enhance aesthetic sensitivity and motivation for learning a foreign language.

Published: November 2021

The global economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to look at development issues in a new way. As a result, many decision-makers have realized the importance of rebuilding economies with a sustainable development approach that involves investing not in fossil fuels but in renewable energies, reforestation, sustainable food systems, and cyclical, local and low-carbon economies. In this connection, the article considers food sharing as one of the possible mechanisms contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals and at the same time being an anti-crisis management tool. At the same time, this article gives directly the goals in the field of sustainable development, the state of affairs in the field of achieving the set goals in modern realities, the measures taken at the international level and in Russia, the essence of food sharing is also revealed, examples of foreign practices are given, problems that impede development are identified of food sharing in Russia, possible options for their solutions are proposed and promising results after its implementation are reflected, as well as a table with the effect of food sharing on specific goals of sustainable development has been compiled by the generalization method. This article can be useful to people interested in the rational use of food, businesses in order to restructure business processes to meet the requirements of the modern economy and government officials for timely and effective adoption of measures in the field of sustainable development.
Involvement of detoxification system enzymes in pathogenesis of some common multifactorial diseases. Predictive genetic testing
Authors: Baranov V. S. , Ivaschenko T. E. , Baranova E. V.
Published: November 2021

The review summarizes the original data concerning involvement of some genes participating in Phase I and Phase 2 of detoxification systems in the origin, progression and treatment efficiency of such common multifactorial diseases as endometriosis, bronchial asthma, alcoholic cirrhosis, habitual miscarriages, gestosis, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis etc. Of special theoretical and practical value of these studies is an identification of highly nonrandom association of particular functionally inferior alleles of the genes belonging to glutathione-S- transferase super-gene family (GSTM1 (0), GSTT1 (0), GSTPi (s) as well as N-acetyl transferase - NAT-2 (s) with these diseases. Thus molecular testing of these alleles might be recommended as feasible predictive test for personal predisposition evaluation, for estimation of remote prognosis and for the treatment strategy in at least some of these diseases. Somewhat about 5-7% of all population in the North-West of Russia possess the most unfavorable combinations of GST genes genotypes (GSTM10/0; GSTTI0/0, GSTPi s/s). Early identification of these individuals by means of genetic screening supplemented with subsequent adequate social and medical care should be considered as feasible social program for efficient prevention of these diseases at the national level. Relying on these data as well as on the polymorphism studies and common mutation identification of other genes the idea of Genetic Form for the pregnant women is suggested and briefly discussed. Implementation of new sophisticated and highly productive molecular techniques amenable for the widespread population gene polymorphism screening becomes highly advisable.
