Preeclampsia is a clinical manifestation of the physiological and psychological maladaptation in the pregnant woman. The objective: to determine the characteristics of the psychoemotional status of pregnant women with pre-eclampsia based on the results of psychological testing using questionnaires using the Spielberger-Khanin technique and studying the psychological component of the gestational dominant (PCGD) Dobryakov [3]. Materials and methods. The subject of this study was the results of clinical-laboratory and psychological testing of 90 women in the III trimester of pregnancy. In 50 women, moderate and severe preeclampsia was diagnosed and they were included in the main group, and 40 women with a physiological pregnancy were included in the control group. Results. Pathological subtypes of the psychological component of the gestational dominant are revealed by the method of IV. Dobryakova and an increase in anxiety level by the Spielberger-Khanin technique. The high level of anxiety, the absence of a dominant pregnancy or the presence of its pathological subtypes in the case of gestosis is both a reflection of the maladaptation of the whole organism and the woman's unwillingness to transform her stereotypes of behavior in accordance with the needs of a new condition-pregnancy and forthcoming births, Have long-term consequences even from offspring [5]. The conclusion. The necessity of psychological counseling of pregnant women and correction of the revealed violations of the period of gestation is proved. Key words: pregnancy, delivery, preeclampsia, perinatal psychology, anxiety, gestational dominant.

Published: March 2021

The aim of the study: was to study the state of urate oxalate metabolism in patients with ureterolithiasis and concomitant diabetes mellitus, who underwent various methods of minimally invasive surgical treatment of urinary stones. Materials and methods. The study involved 204 people, of which men were 130 (63.7%), women – 74 (36.3%), the average age was 34.6±5.5 years. The study groups were divided into VI clinical groups: I – individuals with diabetes and ureterolithiasis, who underwent TUCL and cytrate per os (n=57); II – persons with DM and ureterolithiasis, who were TUCL (n=44); III – persons with DM and , who were administered by the ESWL (n=32); IV – persons with ureterolithiasis without DM, who underwent TUCL (n=41); V (control 1) – of the person with diabetes, who had an independent passage of stones from the ureter (n=18); VI (control 2) – healthy volunteers, with no signs of pathology (n=12). The diagnosis of the ureterolithiasis was verified using clinico-anamnestic, laboratory and instrumental research methods according to the methabolic homeostasis protocols, before and after the disintegration of the stones by the method of transurethral contact lithotripsy (TUСL) and ESWL. Results. Analysis of the above data showed that, in the presence of ureterolithiasis, there were significant changes in diurnal pH values in the form of monotony of the curve of indicators, with a significantly high shift towards acidification. Persistently acidic urine reflects the peculiarities of the urate urolythiasis in conditions of NAM, indicates the absence of an isolated violation by acute calculous obstruction and defines this state as a bilateral process. Hypocytraturia was established in all cases of ureterolithiasis, but in the urine of people with diabetes excretion rates of citrate were as low as possible. The conclusion. In patients with diabetes mellitus and concomitant ureterolithiasis there are significant disruptions in the exchange of uric acid and oxalate, with the possibility of correction and complete restoration of urodynamics with the help of the TUСL procedure. Key words: ureterolithiasis, diabetes mellitus, urates, oxalates, minimally invasive methods of lithotripsy.

Published: March 2021

Density and nitrification potential of indigenous microorganism in mangroves (Tien Yen - Quang Ninh and Bang La - Hai Phong) and seagrass (Ha Coi, Dam Ha - Quang Ninh and Tam Giang - Thua Thien Hue) in the north of Vietnam were evaluated through 4 sampling times in the dry and rainy seasons in the years of 2017-2019. The analytical results showed that the average density of nitrifying bacteria was 4.6 ± 1.8 × 102 MPN/ml, in which the density in mangroves tended to be higher than that in the seagrass beds (P < 0.05) in both the rainy and dry seasons. The average nitrifying rate was 2.7 ± 0.6 µgN/g wet soil/hour, in which the rate in mangroves tended to be higher than that in seagrass beds in the rainy season (P < 0.05). Nitrifying density and rate are not only correlated with substrate concentration but also with other environmental factors such as P-PO4, BOD5, total phosphate in sediment and total bacterial density.

Published: March 2021

Lipid classes and fatty acid compositions of the farmed (F-C. gigas) and wild (W-C. gigas) pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, in Nha Trang, Vietnam were investigated for the first time. The results indicated that the lipid classes and fatty acid components of these oysters were insignificantly different. The total lipid of both studied oysters included six lipid classes, namely phospholipid (PL), sterol (ST), free fatty acid (FFA), triacylglycerol (TG), monoalkyldiacylglycerol (MADG), and hydrocarbon-wax (HW) in which TG and PL were dominated with the values of 48.4%, 41.8% for TG and 19.0%, 20.3% for PL in F-C. gigas and W-C. gigas, respectively. The fatty acids (FAs) content of F-C. gigas and W-C. gigas was similar. The saturated fatty acids (SFAs) content was 48.2% in total fatty acids (TFAs) of the F-C. gigas and 44.7% in TFAs of W-C. gigas, in which 16:0 was dominated in SFAs of both oysters with the value of 24.2% in F-C. gigas and 22.0% in W-C. gigas. The contents of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were 18.3%, 20.5% for MUFAs and 31.7%, 34.7% for PUFAs respectively in F-C. gigas and W-C. gigas. These MUFAs compositions contained 16:1n-7, 16:1n-5, 18:1n-9, 18:1n-7, 20:1n-11, 20:1n-9 and 20:1n-7, among them fatty acids 16:1n-7 (7.2% in F-C. gigas, 6.3% in W-C. gigas) and 18:1n-7 (6.6% in F-C. gigas, 7.4% in W-C. gigas) were the main MUFAs. PUFAs in these two oysters consisted of long-chain n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, in which 20:5n-3 (EPA) and 22:6n-3 (DHA) were dominated with the values of 12.7%, 13.9% for EPA in F-C. gigas and 6.5%, 6.0% for DHA in W-C. gigas.
Aplikácia moderných psychoterapeutických prístupov pri práci s dysfunkčnou rodinou
Authors: Nikulin Andrej
Published: March 2021

The paper aims to draw attention to the importance of family and the need for effective prevention and thera-py as the means for solving marital cri-ses and conflicts. As a tool of effective therapy, the therapist can use modern approaches in contemporary individual and couple therapy which are based on the principles of solution-oriented therapy and which also serve the wid-ening of perspectives of the relationship, the interactions within the couple, and which also increase the competencies of clients for solving similar situations in the future. The solution-oriented therapy approach philosophy contains the assumption that any assistance pro-vided to an individual is always better if it strengthens their family as a whole. In this approach, the assistance being provided originates from cooperation with the family and draws on its internal resources. One of the strengths of this approach is understanding the family as an advisory and therapeutic partner, who participates in the setting of ther-apy objectives. This cooperation takes advantage of the strengths and resources of the family, enabling them to see their competencies and options for driving their lives. This results in a strengthened family, which is able to build favorable emotional background for its members, with extra emphasis on children. With this kind of assistance, families are then able to function independently and with minimum of external interventions.

This review essay considers four books published within the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic. It guides us through how each of these texts offers a timely Christian response to, and not explanation for, the challenges that we face: innumerable deaths, the inability to worship together, deserted streets and shut-up businesses, the place of viruses in the Earth’s ecology, and the apparent absence of God as the innovations of modern science seem to be our only salvation.

Published: March 2021

RESUMEN En este estudio se describe el ensamble de aves del humedal de Trumao y su variación estacional según régimen hidrológico durante primavera 2017 y verano 2018 (no inundado) e inviernos 2017 y 2018 (inundado) y se evalúa el tipo de hábitat. Se registraron 29 especies de aves con una abundancia total de 2,341 individuos. El número total de especies acumuladas observadas para el período inundado y no inundado correspondió a 16 y 22 especies, respectivamente, siendo Chroicocephalus maculipennis (Lichtenstein, 1823) (Gaviota cáhuil) la especie dominante durante el período de estudio. El índice de similitud de Sorensen entre los períodos de inundación y no inundación del humedal fue de 73.2%, mientras que la similitud de Bray-Curtis resultó en un 32.65%. Al compararse el periodo invernal inundado (4 m profundidad) y el periodo estival no inundado (1 m profundidad), el índice de diversidad registró diferencias estadísticamente significativas, en cambio, la abundancia no presentó diferencias significativas. El análisis SIMPER arrojó que entre el periodo invernal inundado y el periodo estival no inundado las especies que mostraron un mayor porcentaje de disimilitud en su abundancia entre estas temporadas fueron la Gaviota cáhuil y Loro choroy [Enicognathus leptorhynchus (King, 1831)]. El uso de hábitat en el humedal de Trumao, por parte de las aves, fue altamente variable, tanto estacional como espacialmente, resultado esperable para este tipo de ecosistemas. Finalmente, nuestros resultados nos indican que las aves ocupan los humedales según fluctuaciones estacionales y según el hábitat que se encuentre disponible, sin embargo, la abundancia no se ve afectada por los cambios hidrológicos. Con estos resultados es fundamental seguir realizando más investigaciones en el humedal para determinar el uso (nidificación, alimentación, reproducción) que realizan las aves en los distintos hábitats para de esta manera generar medidas de protección y conservación para la gestión del humedal de Trumao.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Knowledge about the diet of a given species is essential to provide information on the growth and maintenance of populations in a natural environment. Macrobrachium brasiliense (Heller, 1862) is a species of freshwater prawn widely distributed in Brazil, being frequent in aquatic environments inserted in the Cerrado biome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the natural diet of a population of M. brasiliense, comparing the consumed food items according to sex, seasonality and body size of individuals. Monthly collections were carried out between September 2018 and August 2019. The individuals collected had their sex identified and the length of the cephalothorax measured. Stomach content was assessed based on the degree of repletion, the method of points and the frequency of occurrence. There was a high frequency of plant material in the stomach contents and a smaller but significant frequency of aquatic insects. There were no significant differences regarding the diet of males and females and between the dry and rainy seasons. It was observed an increase in total insect consumption with the increase in size of males and females of M. brasiliense. A diet preference for Trichoptera was recorded in both sampling periods for males and females. The results obtained confirm an omnivorous diet for the species and suggest that the composition and proportion of items may vary depending on the size of the individuals and the availability of the items in the environment.
Séculos de silêncio: contribuições de um antropólogo para uma história da “homossexualidade” no sul de Moçambique (Séc. XVI-XX)
Authors: Miguel Francisco Paolo Vieira
Published: March 2021

RESUMO No presente artigo, fruto de pesquisa histórica e etnográfica, apresento alguns arquivos coloniais portugueses e estrangeiros no que concerne à vida (homo)sexual pretérita dos homens do sul de Moçambique. Ao trazer tais dados, que vão desde a literatura de viagem até os boletins oficiais da Província, argumento pela escassez de registros sobre o homoerotismo na história colonial de Moçambique até o século XX. Ao analisar os casamentos entre homens moçambicanos nas minas sul-africanas, e os processos - até agora inéditos - sobre a penalização das práticas homossexuais no período tardo-colonial em Moçambique, argumento que o silêncio sobre a sexualidade, atribuído aos bantus desta região, pode ser também efeito do pudor do colonizador português, ainda que tenha sido ele o instaurador, naquele território, de uma nova categoria: a “homossexualidade”.

Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: Third generation of LED light curing units might be used in short exposure periods for orthodontic brackets bonding. Objective: This study evaluated the effect of the different radiant exposure (RE) values: Manufacturers’ instructions (MI), ½ MI, 1/4 MI and Turbo mode. Two third-generation LED curing units were used: VALO® and Bluephase 20i® . The degree of conversion (DC) and Vickers hardness (VHN) of an orthodontic composite (OC) (Transbond XT) under metallic (MB) or ceramic brackets (CB) were measured. Methods: OC was applied to the bracket base, which was then placed over an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) table coupled to an infrared light spectroscope, or to a glass surface for the VHN analysis. The specimens were light-cured and DC values were calculated. The VHN was obtained in a microhardness tester. The data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test (pre-set α=0.05). Linear regression analysis evaluated the relationship between RE values and dependent variables. Results: CB allowed higher DC and VHN values than MB (p< 0.001). No significant difference was noted among groups when CB were used. For MB, MI groups showed the highest DC and VHN values. A significant, but weak relationship was found between delivered RE values and dependent variables. Conclusions: The decrease in RE values from third generation LED CU did not jeopardize the DC values when CB were used, but can compromise DC and VHN values when MB are used.
Ten reasons to not ignore the third molar
Authors: CONSOLARO Alberto , HADAYA Omar
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: The third molars are forgotten because they are the last in the dental arch, they do not directly influence the smile and they appear only in adolescence, when they do. Objectives: 1) to provide the clinician with a “checklist” to assess and diagnose changes to be screened in the third molar region in new patients; 2) to reveal the importance of not discharging the patient submitted to any dental treatment without first analyzing the third molars region clinically and on imaging examinations, since many diseases are associated to them. Result: A list of 10 situations that cover all diagnostic possibilities involving the third molars is presented. Conclusion: Adopting this protocol is a matter of habit, since the need is fundamental. The next professional assisting your patient may ask: “Did he not request examinations for the third molars?”.
Biostatistics: essential concepts for the clinician
Authors: TORRES Darlyane , NORMANDO David
Published: March 2021

ABSTRACT Introduction: The efficiency of clinical procedures is based on practical and theoretical knowledge. Countless daily information is available to the orthodontist, but it is up to this professional to know how to select what really has an impact on clinical practice. Evidence-based orthodontics ends up requiring the clinician to know the basics of biostatistics to understand the results of scientific publications. Such concepts are also important for researchers, for correct data planning and analysis. Objective: This article aims to present, in a clear way, some essential concepts of biostatistics that assist the clinical orthodontist in understanding scientific research, for an evidence-based clinical practice. In addition, an updated version of the tutorial to assist in choosing the appropriate statistical test will be presented. This PowerPoint® tool can be used to assist the user in finding answers to common questions about biostatistics, such as the most appropriate statistical test for comparing groups, choosing graphs, performing correlations and regressions, analyzing casual, random or systematic errors. Conclusion: Researchers and clinicians must acquire or recall essential concepts to understand and apply an appropriate statistical analysis. It is important that journal readers and reviewers can identify when statistical analyzes are being inappropriately used.
Evaluation of capabilities of different global sensitivity analysis techniques for building energy simulation: experiment on design variables
Authors: Silva Arthur Santos , Ghisi Enedir
Published: March 2021

Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the capabilities of different global sensitivity analysis methods applied to building performance simulation, i.e. Morris, Monte Carlo, Design of Experiments, and Sobol methods. A single-zone commercial building located in Florianópolis, southern Brazil, was used as a case study. Fifteen inputs related to design variables were considered, such as thermal properties of the construction envelope, solar orientation, and fenestration characteristics. The performance measures were the annual heating and cooling loads. It was found that each method can provide different visual capabilities and measures of interpretation, but, in general, there was little difference in showing the most influent and least influent variables. For the heating loads, the thermal transmittances were the most influent variables, while for the cooling loads, the solar absorptances stood out. The Morris method showed to be the most feasible method due to its simplicity and low computational cost. However, as the building simulation model is still complex and non-linear, the variance-based method such as the Sobol is still necessary for general purposes.

Published: March 2021

Abstract Loratorial tests with pervious concrete comprised porosity and hydraulic conductivity as well as mechanical parameters as compressive, indirect tensile and bending strengths besides assessing its static and dynamic elasticity moduli. Later, a pervious sidewalk area of 1.0 x 8.65 square meters was built in order to determine the variation of the infiltration rate along time; over such experimental sidewalk, impact deflection tests performed allowed to assess back calculated moduli of the pervious concrete layer, resulting 33% to 13% lower than conventional concretes. A mechanistic analysis allowed to estimate the required thickness of concrete for heavy- and light-traffic areas. Tests disclosed no significant difference among the different concrete mixes, with 25% porosity and 0,1 cm/s permeability. Initial sidewalk infiltration rate of 0.5 cm/s dropped 50% four months after construction. It was verified that pervious concrete thicknesses for trucks and buses use are far higher than conventional concrete pavements.

Published: March 2021

Abstract Several factors, such as chemical shrinkage or environmental attack can produce concrete cracks. Calcium hydroxide content from the environment or cement hydration can promote the self-healing phenomenon (SHP). This study evaluates the calcium hydroxide concentration influence on the self-healing phenomenon of cement-based materials. Cracked mortars with different types of cement, such as a filler, pozzolanic, and high initial strength, were exposed to four environmental conditions. Titration was the method proposed to determine the amount of calcium hydroxide content leached in the water, and the cracks closure were analyzed by optical microscopy. CPII F (Portland Cement, type II, compound with limestone) samples showed no trend to Ca(OH)2 leached, and to superficial cracking closure. Regarding CPV (Portland cement, type V, high initial strength cement) samples, their behavior showed the highest Ca(OH)2 content to all environmental exposure, and cracking closure to samples in submerged condition. Thus, a significant influence in the cracks´ closure regarding the presence of Ca2+ leached to the exposure environments, and a water source related to this behavior seems to be a primary factor to improve the SHP.

Einige Risiken und Nebenwirkungen von Allianzen zwischen Freier Szene und Stadttheater und was eine Alternative zu ihnen sein könnte. Immer häufiger werden sogenannte Freie Gruppen in das Stadttheatersystem integriert, wo sie meistens mit viel mehr Komfort und viel mehr Geld erst, so ein beliebtes Argument, ihre wahre Freiheit entdecken würden. Für viele Vertreter_innen des Stadttheaters scheint es aus naheliegenden Gründen reizvoll zu sein, die Grenzen der Institution zu verflüssigen, das Andere und Fremde in Form bislang freier Produktion und Produzent_innen ins Haus zu holen, es bestmöglich auszustatten und dann im Rahmen des Eigenen zu präsentieren. Doch das hat negative Seiten, die mit dem in diesem Beitrag skizzierten Begriff einer Institutionsästhetik erörtert werden sollen.

Der Schweizer Installations-, Video- und Performancekünstler Christophe Meierhans legt mit Some use for your broken clay pots (2013) einen Gegenentwurf zur gängigen Demokratiepraxis vor: Politiker_innen werden nicht wegen ihrer (Wahlkampf-) Versprechen gewählt, sondern können aufgrund ihrer Amtsführung jederzeit von den Bürger_innen abgesetzt werden. Es handelt sich bei diesem Prinzip der 'Disqualification' um eine Verkehrung der repräsentativen Demokratie, in der Politiker_innen für eine bestimmte Dauer aufgrund ihres Partei- oder Wahlprogrammes in ein Amt gewählt werden. Meierhans' System basiert auf einer Verfassung mit 350 Artikeln, die er während zwei Jahren gemeinsam mit einem Beratungsteam erarbeitet hat.
Einladung zum Widerspruch. Publikumspartizipation in Some use for your broken clay pots von Christophe Meierhans

Published: March 2021

In der Lecture Performance Some use for your broken clay pots stellt der Schweizer Künstler Christophe Meierhans ein alternatives demokratisches System vor. Seiner Präsentation liegt eine ausgearbeitete Verfassung mit 350 Artikeln zugrunde. Meierhans fordert zur Diskussion seines politischen Entwurfs auf und das Publikum folgt seiner Einladung mit großer Dialogbereitschaft. Die schiere Anzahl der Wortmeldungen wie auch die detaillierte inhaltliche Auseinandersetzung der Zuschauer_innen mit Meierhans' Verfassung überrascht. Wie gelingt es der Performance, eine solch intensive und engagierte Beteiligung auszulösen? Meinen die Zuschauer_innen an einer politischen Debatte teilzunehmen, oder lassen sie sich auf ein (Theater-)Spiel ein? Wie wird diese ambivalente Situation etabliert und aufrechterhalten? Werden die Zuschauer_innen tatsächlich zu Agierenden, die Einfluss auf den Diskussionsverlauf nehmen, oder spielt Meierhans manipulativ mit ihren Wortmeldungen? Kurz: Wird hier der Theaterraum politisiert oder eine politische Diskussion ästhetisiert und parodiert?
Kapitalismus als globale Religion. Profanierung in Christophe Meierhans’ Some use for your broken clay pots
Authors: Kreuder Friedemann
Published: March 2021

Aus der Sicht des italienischen Philosophen Giorgio Agamben in Profanierungen (2005) wurden in der römisch-antiken Gesellschaft diejenigen Dinge als ›heilig‹ oder ›religiös‹ bezeichnet, die auf irgendeine Weise den Göttern gehörten. Sie wurden aus dem freien Gebrauch und dem profanierenden Verkehr der Menschen in eine eigene Sphäre abgesondert. Unter den Vorzeichen des Gesellschaftssystems des globalen Spätkapitalismus stellt sich die Frage nach einer solchen Absonderung neu und anders, da Letztere umfassend und omnipräsent geworden ist. In besagtem Gesellschaftssystem wird mit jedem Gebrauch des Körpers und seines Umgangs mit Dingen der auf sie bezogene ideologische Diskurs des Zusammenspiels von ›Gebrauchswert‹, ›Mehrwert‹ und ›Schauwert‹ als neue Form der ›Trinität‹ performativ wiedervergegenwärtigt. Der Vortrag diskutiert den ›entsinnten‹ (Derrida) Gebrauch von Praktiken in der Performancekunst von Christophe Meierhans als innovative Form zeitgenössischer Profanierung.

Suomi on toistaiseksi selvinnyt koronaviruksen (COVID-19) aiheuttamasta kriisistä taloudellisesti verrokkimaita paremmin, mutta työllisyystilanne on silti heikentynyt ympäri maata ja talouden ennustetaan supistuvan noin 4,7 prosenttia vuonna 20201. Negatiivisten talousvaikutusten minimoimiseksi hallitus on suuntaamassa EU:n elpymisvälineestä varoja käytettäväksi toimiin, jotka samanaikaisesti auttavat ratkaisemaan aikamme kahta merkittävää kriisiä: ilmastonmuutosta ja luontokatoa. Kyse on aidosti vakavista kriiseistä. Esimerkiksi Maailman talousfoorumi on listannut luonnon ekosysteemien romahduksen ja ilmastonmuutoksen torjunnan epäonnistumisen sekä vaikutuksiltaan että todennäköisyydeltään viiden vakavimman ihmiskuntaa uhkaavan riskin joukkoon. Elämämme on täysin riippuvainen ekosysteemien ja lajien olemassaolosta ja niiden toiminnasta. Suomen Luontopaneeli katsoo, että elvytystoimien pitää kokonaisuudessaan auttaa yhteiskuntaamme selviämään koronan aiheuttamasta talouden supistumisesta niin, että elvytystoimet samalla aikaansaavat siirtymän kohti hiilineutraaliutta ja luonnon kokonaisheikentymättömyyttä. Tässä kannanotossa Luontopaneeli arvioi ympäristöministeriön kestävän elvytyksen työryhmän ja Suomen ilmastopaneelin esittämien sekä muutamien muiden elvytystoimien luontovaikutuksia ja antaa suosituksia elvytystoimien mahdollisten haitallisten luontovaikutusten välttämiseksi. Kuvaan 1 (sivulla 3) on koottu Luontopaneelin näkemys eri toimenpiteiden luonnon monimuotoisuus- ja elvytysvaikutuksista. Lähtökohta ja tavoite on luonnon kokonaisheikentymättömyys (engl. “no net loss of the integrity of ecosystems”). Suomen maaekosysteemien, sisävesien ja meriluonnon tilan heikkeneminen tulee pysäyttää seuraavien vuosikymmenten kuluessa. Osa toimenpiteistä vaikuttaa luonnon monimuotoisuuteen suoraan, esimerkiksi maankäytön kautta, ja osa epäsuorasti ilmastonmuutoksen (ks. tietolaatikko s. 7 ), ilmansaasteiden (s. 10) tai rehevöittävien ravinteiden (s. 11) kautta. Moni taloutta elvyttävä ja hiilineutraaliutta edistävä toimi voi aiheuttaa luontohaittaa. Kyse ei ole vastakkainasettelusta vaan siitä, että aidosti hyvät toimet voivat olla elvyttävyys-, ilmasto- tai luontovaikutuksiltaan ristiriitaisia. Tällaiset toimet tulisi suunnitella niin, että ne ovat yhdenmukaisia luonnon kokonaisheikentymättömyystavoitteen kanssa. Väistämättömät haitat tulee hyvittää luonnolle ekologisilla kompensaatioilla (ks. s. 4). Tämän kannanoton tarkoitus on tunnistaa ristiriitoja ja löytää keinoja lieventää niitä. Jokaisen toimenpiteen vaikutukset on arvioitu ja niiden osalta on esitetty ehdotukset siitä, kuinka mahdollisia haitallisia luontovaikutuksia voidaan pienentää.
Pedagogic and Educational Function of China's TV for Children and Peculiarities of Its Implementation
Authors: Dolgova Yulia , Yu Cao
Published: March 2021

The article deals with functions of China’s TV programs for children and forms in which they are implemented. The variety of the genres and thematic content is aimed at one of the biggest TV audiences and is broadcast on both universally available and commercial thematic channels, which determines the topicality of the research.
The authors conceptualize the pedagogic and educational influence of TV programs for children, and distinguish its key aspects, which include delivering moral values and social norms, propagating cultural and scientific knowledge, encouraging interest in learning, and developing the ability for self-actualization and world cognition. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used to analyze which of the aspects are realized by means of TV programs and animated films for children in China. The study covers 34 programs and 74 animated films for children shown on 33 universal and 4 most popular special TV channels.
The results of the research are as follows. One of the most popular forms of content on TV channels for children is animated films, whose key function is delivering moral values and social norms. Magazine format is a rather common form of journalist content. TV programs are mostly aimed at encouraging children’s interest in learning. Since it is rather difficult to combine entertainment and educational components, on universally available channels there is a large number of TV programs for children that fulfil their pedagogic and educational function only formally.

Published: March 2021

The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediation role of personal meaning profile in the relationship between resilience capacity and meaning in life. Data has been collected from 371 college students using Resilience, Personal Meaning Profile and Meaning in Life Scales. Jamovi 1.1.4 statistical program has been used for the analysis of the data. In the study, it has been observed that there exist meaningful relationships between the sub-dimensions of the personal meaning profile and resilience besides meaning in life. Results show that there is a meaningful and positive relation between resilience and meaning in life. It has been also observed that there has been a positive relation between meaning in life and the achievement, relationship, self-transcendence, self-acceptance, intimacy, and fairness sub-dimensions of the personal meaning profile. However, no meaningful relationship between resilience and the religion sub-dimension of the personal meaning profile has been found. Considering the findings of the research, there is a significant mediation role of the personal meaning profile, except for the religion and self-acceptance sub-dimensions, in the relationship between the resilience capacity and the meaning in life. All findings have been discussed in terms of literature and the suggestion for further studies has been made.
