With an increase in meat consumption the requirements for its quality also rise. As pork is the second most popular meat in the world, producers of this product are trying to improve its quality. The purpose of our research was to determine the effect of the feed additive “Activo”, containing essential oils of cinnamon, rosemary and oregano, and chili pepper extract, on the total lipids content and their individual class profile in liver and skeletal muscles of pigs. The study was conducted on pigs of the large white breed, weighing 70 kg, divided on two groups, according to the piglets-analogues principle, which then were divided into control and experimental groups. Pigs of both groups received standard feed (SF) intended for this age group. Pigs of the experimental group received the feed additive “Activo” in an amount of 0.1 kg/t of feed in addition to SF. The duration period of experiment was 40 days. Samples of liver, longissimus dorsi, and latissimus dorsi muscle tissues were used as material for the study. The total lipid content was determined using gravimetric method, and individual lipid profile using thin-layer chromatography on silica gel plates. The study has shown that the total lipid content in the liver, long and broad back muscles of pigs of the experimental group was 1.66 and 1.95 (P≤0.001) and 1.26 (P≤0.05) times higher, respectively, than in animals of the control group. The relative cholesterol esters content in the liver lipids of the experimental group pigs was 1.9 (P≤0.001) times higher than in the control group. Instead, in the latissimus dorsi muscle, a lower content of triacylglycerols and a higher content of unesterified fatty acids (P≤0.05), esterified cholesterol (P≤0.05), and especially phospholipids (P≤0.001) were admitted. It was determined significant decrease of unesterified cholesterol content in the latissimus dorsi muscle (P≤0.001) and increase of phospholipids content (P≤0.001) under the effect of the researched feed additive.

As concepções tradicionais e patriarcais de masculinidade assentam na prerrogativa de um sexo masculino emocionalmente ausente, provedor, detentor de privilégios, posicionando masculinidade e feminilidade como dicotômicos e complementares. Esse distanciamento masculino da esfera do cuidado tem contribuído para a perpetuação de desigualdades e para o peso desproporcional do trabalho de cuidado por parte das mulheres, fenômeno agravado pela pandemia.

"Mitos e crenças disfuncionais em relação à maternidade e ao papel da mulher como mãe podem ser considerados importantes fatores de risco para a saúde mental materna. Essas crenças têm forte influência sociocultural e estão associadas a idealização e avaliação em relação ao desempenho da mulher como mãe. Essa busca por um desempenho ideal e perfeito tende a aumentar ideias extremamente autocríticas, podendo, assim, desencadear sintomas de adoecimento mental. Entendendo essa relação entre o adoecimento mental materno e o modelo de relação interna de autocriticismo, este capítulo propõe uma discussão em relação às intersecções entre autocriticismo e culpa materna, autocompaixão e autocriticismo na saúde mental materna e os atravessamentos sociais que dificultam o desenvolvimento da autocompaixão."

Wallkill River Arch Bridge - Precast Concrete Ensures Bridge Durability
Authors: Nasser George D.
Published: November 2024

Adjacent prestressed concrete box beams with a composite deck slab provide the superstructure of the open-spandrel Route 52 arch bridge crossing over Wallkill River, about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of New York, N.Y. To create an overall span of 225 ft (68.6 m), precast concrete components are used efficiently and economically in both the substructure and superstructure of the bridge. This article describes some of the innovative design features—including self-consolidating, high-performance concrete with a design compressive strength of 10,000 psi (69 MPa), a calcium nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and grouted splice sleeves—that are used to increase the structure’s durability. The successful completion of the Route 52 bridge demonstrates the triumph of new technologies over traditional methods of construction.

Distinguishing Between Models and Hypotheses: Implications for Significance Testing
Authors: Trafimow David
Published: November 2024

In the debate about the merits or demerits of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), authorities on both sides assume that the p value that a researcher computes is based on the null hypothesis or test hypothesis. If the assumption is true, it suggests that there are proper uses for NHST, such as distinguishing between competing directional hypotheses. And once it is admitted that there are proper uses for NHST, it makes sense to educate substantive researchers about how to use NHST properly and avoid using it improperly. From this perspective, the conclusion would be that researchers in the business and social sciences could benefit from better education pertaining to NHST. In contrast, my goal is to demonstrate that the p value that a researcher computes is not based on a hypothesis, but on a model in which the hypothesis is embedded. In turn, the distinction between hypotheses and models indicates that NHST cannot soundly be used to distinguish between competing directional hypotheses or to draw any conclusions about directional hypotheses whatsoever. Therefore, it is not clear that better education is likely to prove satisfactory. It is the temptation issue, not the education issue, that deserves to be in the forefront of NHST discussions.

Authors: Souza Edjan de Castro , Pessoa Oliveira Raquel Aline , De Vasconcelos Ferraz Andrea
Published: November 2024

The gypsum mineral is composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate and has as its main application the production of gypsum plaster. In the deposits of the Araripe gypsum pole there are, in natura, different varieties, identified by the names: "Johnson", alabaster, "estrelinha", "cocadinha", "rapadura" and "boró". The characterization of the varieties of gypsum in fracture was performed by SEM and the characterization of the powder was performed by FRX and DRX. By FRX, the presence of CaO was detected with a weight range of 42.5% to 47.1%, and SO3 with a weight range of 48.1% to 53.2%. By XRD analysis, the majority gypsum phase was identified, with the presence of the crystalline planes characteristic of the mineral. From the refinement by the Rietveld method a X2 result between 0.86 and 1.11 was obtained, and it was possible to obtain information about the microstructure of the gypsum varieties and their unit cell.

Para tanto, foram realizadas análises e discussões sobre o que propõe a perspectiva decolonial e quais são as suas apostas. Igualmente, tecemos reflexões sobre os desconfortos e mal-estares produzidos nos(as) estudantes e na professora, especialmente em relação ao ato educativo e às escolhas pedagógicas da professora que não alcançaram os desejos e interesses de todos(as) os(as) estudantes em todos(as) os momentos. As contribuições da Psicanálise para este estudo nos convocaram a entender que toda a relação pedagógica implica algum desamparo. E, para suportar esse mal-estar que é produzido na e pela relação com o(a) outro(a), apostamos que o professorado tem a responsabilidade de organizar e sustentar um processo de ensino e, ao mesmo tempo, revisitar os efeitos das suas escolhas e desejos para com o(a) outro(a).

‘Ona ni razu ne Zolushka’: on One Comparative-and-Evaluative Construction of Modern Russian Speech
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kolosovskaya Tatiana L.
Published: November 2024

The study deals with the phraseologized comparative-and-evaluative syntactic construction  (which can be translated as ) (Tol’ko padcheritsa byla ni razu ne Zolushka i spat’ v yashchike s zoloj sebe ne pozvol’ala, i. e., But the stepdaughter was not at all Cinderella and did not sleep in a box with cinders). The paper analyzes the functioning of the construction in modern everyday speech and identifies its characteristic features. In the structure of this construction two objects of comparison are necessarily present, so the verb simply cannot be placed after the phraseologized element ni razy ne. During the comparison, object P is evaluated against the background of N1. The construction can carry both evaluative (Ya, konechno, ni razu ne pisatel’, i. e., I am definitely not at all a writer) and comparative-evaluative meaning (Pattison, imkho, voobshche, ni razu ne D’urua, i. e., IMHO Pattison is not at all Duroy). The peculiarity of the comparative seme is the implicit and explicit expression of the feature of comparison. Since the construction in question is primarily evaluative, it is common to use the figure of the author as one of the objects. The syntactic scheme is not limited to the form : the study revealed a number of ‘expanders’ that can vary the construction. The adverb voobshche is the most common such element (Gonkong voobshche ni razu ne London). In combination with the unit in question, speakers of the Russian language often use introductory words and word combinations that express the speaker's attitude to what is said. The study revealed the cases of using introductory units of the following types: credibility, emotion, and evaluation of the style of the statement. The considered construction is a grammatical basis of a sentence in which the nominative part of the predicate is expressed by a noun in the nominative case (N1), so among the ‘expanders’ there are particles such as vot and eto.
The Role of Referential Mechanisms of Subject Naming in the Manifestation of Intertextuality in News Articles (on the material of the Belarusian and English languages)
Authors:   Minsk State Linguistic University, Basovets Irina M.
Published: November 2024

The study of the relationship between the universal mechanisms of subject reference with its linguocultural naming specifics and the omnipresent category of intertextuality in media discourse seems to be relevant due to the ontological nature of this relationship and insufficient study of this phenomenon. The paper aims to determine referential and pragmatic characteristics of the subject components of the authorization and deauthorization structures in the intertexts of news articles. Research methods employed comprise the inductive method, contextual and semantic-and-pragmatic analysis. The material under study is news articles in the Belarusian (Zvyazda, a local newspaper) and English (The Times) languages. An analysis of the ways how the intertexts in the news articles are incorporated revealed a correlation between the type of the referential mechanism used in relation to the subject of (de)authorization structures and the (im)possibility of relating intertextual fragments of the recipient text with the donor text. It has been established that in news articles intertexts are used for the purpose of argumentation and/or preservation of the original evaluative judgement in the case of fragment quoting. Logical argumentation mainly relies on texts of institutional affiliation with the activation of the communicative tool ‘authoritative reference’, while psychological argumentation is formed, as a rule, on the basis of texts of non-institutional affiliation representing opinions of generalized or indefinite subjects. The study revealed that in most cases it is impossible to establish the correlation of intertexts in the function of psychological argumentation with donor texts due to the non-referential subject marking the intertext, while intertexts in the function of logical argumentation, as a rule, demonstrate correlation with donor texts due to predominantly referential subjects.
The language of cultural diversity from the perspective of updated synthesis
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Kiyashchenko Larisa P
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to analysis of the dialogue on a topic that has not lost its relevance today — the boundaries and interactions between the languages of science and those of art. The special issue contains a selection of articles written by the forum participants and united by the specified topic. The variety of interpretations proposed by the authors convincingly demonstrates the intention toward synthetic construction of the identified oppositions as a whole. It is based on the «dialectic of fundamentals», which provides the opportunity to build a typology of boundary conditions using the experience fixed on the overcoming of limits (transition, translation, overcoming of the established and establishing of a new, ontological limit). The boundary as a phenomenon is dual — it is both a concept that captures the idea of space, the reality of the boundary in mind and its practical embodiment by means of the subject’s action to establish the boundary. It can be labeled as a hypothetical medium «between», as an exchange zone (between what is «before it» and «after»). In other words, we are talking about the creation of a median «territory» of semantic connection of the selected boundaries (limits). In the first approximation, according to the subject of the article, the typology of the zone of exchange, translation may look like the dialectic of the fundamentals of interaction, problematization «between»: 1) the ontological zone (the sphere between techniques, skills, practices and other forms of anthropological representations of reality), 2) methodological zone (interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary zone of interaction), 3) search zone of reflexive assessment of the possibilities of linguistic expression (for example, the relationship between «limit» and what is «beyond, on the other side of the limits» as yet unknown or ultimately unknowable). The ultimate experience finds its application in the field of problem-oriented interdisciplinary research reaching the level of philosophical reflection in the transdisciplinary zone of personal responsibility as the interval dimension of the dialectic of initial oppositions.
Image schemas as a cognitive basis of language articulation
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Smirnova Natalia M.
Published: November 2024

A subject’s meanings and values embedded in the present corpus of scientific knowledge within the paradigm of post-nonclassical rationality contribute to the diffusion of strict boundaries between philosophy of mind and cognitive sciences. Such diffusion manifests itself in convergent processes, which determine similarity of imaginative and symbolical manifestations of their cognitive products. This paper deals with cognitive functions of imagination, more precisely, with the influence of its schematic products on the formation of conceptual metaphors during the processes of mental development. The study of ontogenetic foundations of conceptual thinking, in its turn, clarifies some debatable aspects of the modern theory of image schemas. Methodologically, the paper is based on the conception of constructive realism (V. Lectorsky), developed in contemporary embodied epistemology. The study demonstrates how embodied epistemology assimilates and philosophically enriches some conceptual findings of cognitive linguistics and developmental psychology, in contrast to the assumption, previously developed in cognitive sciences, that philosophy might be successfully replaced by general, most abstract divisions of cognitive sciences themselves. The findings of the study can be applied in general divisions of theory of knowledge dealing with cognitive functions of imagination as well as in semiotic research focusing on meaning formation in the processes of cognitive transition from percept to concept. The result of the study may be formulated as demonstration of how contemporary embodied epistemology interacts with cognitive sciences (cognitive linguistics and developmental psychology) in comprehending the mystery of the meaning constitution process, particularly language metaphor formation from initial pre-language conceptualization of natural and social worlds. The paper concludes that image schematization precedes conceptual metaphor formation.
Metaphoricity of personal language
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Filipenok Stanislava A.
Published: November 2024

The paper examines the tropological nature of personal language. Personal language is the implicit content of grammatical structures that goes beyond dictionary meanings of words and expressions. The representatives of Kharkov Linguistic School demonstrated the metaphorical nature of personal language. Personal meanings are metaphorical meanings of concepts since they are the result of correlating a new phenomenon with subjective experience and of transferring meanings from the already known to what is being cognized. Tropological nature of personal language is manifested both in artistic creativity and in scientific cognition, which indicates their deep connection. In the paper, the metaphorical use of scientific terms is demonstrated on the classification of living organisms. When referring a particular individual to a certain species, a taxonomist discovers a characteristic in it that he considers essential for the species. Thus, the characteristics of a particular taxonomic group are applied to an animal or plant being observed, while known meanings of terms are transferred to a new object. Described by Kharkov Linguistic School representative A.A. Potebnya, the mechanism of the emergence of a new word in an allegorical meaning makes it possible to explain the metaphorical use of scientific terms. The basis of any classification is a «shift» of the original meanings of concepts, their extension to a new phenomenon. In the process of classifying an object under a certain category, its properties are identified and compared with the distinctive features of objects belonging to this category.
The ontological foundations of real humanism and the abortion issue
Authors:   Perm State University, Loskutov Yuri V.
Published: November 2024

Marxist philosophy in its practical application (real humanism) can become a reliable support for the progressive part of the anti-abortion movement, opposing the bourgeois-liberal, neo-Malthusian pro-abortion ideology. Marxist ontological criticism of demographic politics under capitalism can contribute to this. From Marx’s point of view, capitalism inevitably creates «surplus» working population. This «surplus» generates either poverty or artificial abortion. Gender equality under capitalism receives a characteristic market-focused and social-Darwinist interpretation. Neo-Malthusian sociocultural «projections» of the market economy onto the worldview are expressed in the absolutization of individual autonomy, in the underestimation of the potential side of social reality, and in the desire to receive more from society than to give to it. Neo-Malthusianism seeks to dehumanize, to deny the fetus, and sometimes even the newborn, the right to human dignity, while the ontological foundation of real humanism is the affirmation of the essential identity of people with each other, which is ensured by the presence of a material social substratum in all people, including fetuses. Marxist social ontology regards the birth of a sufficient number of children as a necessary condition for the development of productive forces and the humanization of production relations. This also presupposes the creation of a large number of highly skilled jobs. As a conclusion, it is argued that the practice of real humanism with regard to the abortion problem must consist in the struggle for the creation of such jobs, for real social protection of motherhood and childhood, and for other measures aimed at the general development of the productive forces. In addition, having many children should become a common occurrence in families of real humanists.
Tradition in Vietnam: reality or a simulacrum?
Authors:   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Gill Elena V. , Krapchunov Daniil E. ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of traditionalism in the context of human ontological incompleteness. In culture, there are different ways of representing incompleteness, which can be overcome or corrected. In global reality, the crisis of identity and the sense of increased insufficiency relate to the structural change of personality and identity in a dynamic social reality, where virtual way of the human opening to the world plays an increasingly important role, and types of ontic existence multiply. The response to the increased incompleteness is two postsecular vectors of virtualization — a direct departure into virtuality and traditionalism, the impulse of which is a return to the social reality in some form, taken from the past, that would ensure rootedness, namely that into tradition, and a return to religion in inextricable connection with its national carrier. In the light of the concept of ontological incompleteness and based on field research on traditionalism in Vietnam and other countries, the authors explicate traditionalism as the virtualization of reality and manipulative substitution of the ontological with the ontic. The peculiarity of traditionalism as a worldview and ideology is that it represents tradition itself as a value, whereas it is a construct for the preservation and transmission of values. The paper shows that traditionalism is the most radical cultural form of return of the cultural structures of the historical past, which is represented as a spiritual need. However, these structures are outdated, not constructive, and addressing them, instead of overcoming incompleteness, turns man into a self-sufficient structure, which contradicts the fundamental ontological openness of the human being. The authors explain traditionalism in Vietnam and some other countries as the invention of tradition not based on the historical ground, and show how tradition turns into a simulacrum and virtualization of reality.
Social factors of academic procrastination
Authors:   Civil Defence Academy EMERCOM of Russia, Stoyanov Alexander S.
Published: November 2024

The relevance of the topic is due to the growing level of procrastination and its prevalence, which is influenced by a number of social factors that students face. The problem of academic procrastination is closely related to the categories of sociology, both at the theoretical and empirical levels. Currently, attention to this problem is increasing. The paper also analyzes contradictions in the study of this phenomenon, which is due to the interaction of the obtained subjective experience (expectations) with the social factors of procrastination. The survey showed that 60.6 % of respondents experience procrastination, 47.2 % procrastinate when completing large written tasks. In distance learning, significant reasons for procrastination were found to be: a seeming increase in free time and its incorrect assessment, a larger number of tasks. 59.6 % of respondents want to reduce procrastination through planning and self-regulation. Students who plan their activities quite rarely experience procrastination, i.e. procrastination is inversely related to planning and self-regulation, but this is not enough to claim that the main cause of procrastination is impaired self-regulation. The paper looks at social factors under the influence of which there occur changes in the structure of academic procrastination. The factors reducing procrastination are excellent grades and distribution of household responsibilities; financial assistance from parents and high earnings, and these factors are quite strongly correlated with each other. Procrastination is aggravated by lack of consultations by professors; household chores, independent work; social media. A tendency has been revealed for increased procrastination among senior students during the session, as well as with an increase in the amount of independent work of students. This requires taking into account the social component in the prevention of procrastination and ensuring educational planning and time management by students.
Personal and professional qualities of managers as an element of the system of social regulation of interaction between participants in the labor process

Published: November 2024

The study analyzes the relationship between the personal and professional qualities of managers and their ability to influence the process of social regulation of interaction between participants in the labor process. Various approaches to classifying the qualities of managers are considered. The authors formulate their own vision of those personal and professional qualities that are necessary for the effective work of a modern manager. The concepts of «leadership» and «management» are analyzed in the context of searching for similarities and differences between them. The process of social regulation is revealed, which made it possible to assess the influence of various social regulators on building relationships in work teams. Having studied various approaches to describing the functions of managers and possible modes of behavior that managers assume in the process of management, the authors not only formulate their own vision of the functionality of managers but also identify the expected results of managers’ activities by describing the management processes necessary for the implementation of management functionality. Social regulators influencing interaction in work teams are considered. The analysis revealed the relationship between the personal and professional qualities of managers and the possibilities of using various social regulators of interaction by them. The construction of a logical chain of connections between the qualities of managers, their functionality, the expected results of their activities, the necessary management processes, and social regulators of interaction in the work environment made it possible to formulate possible ways of managers’ behavior in the system of social regulation, which can be used in the practice of personnel management.
​​Labile Bodies​: A Hospital Ethnography of Medical Professionals’ Struggles in Deceased Organ Donation
Authors: Bea Sara
Published: November 2024

This article presents an ethnographic study of the donor body in deceased organ donation. Drawing on the science and technology studies’ incitement to study bodies being enacted and acted upon in situated practices, I explore the body being done and becoming undone in the practices of organ procurement at a Catalan hospital. The hospital has uniquely high rates of organ donation and transplantation, and deceased organ donation has become routinised and integrated into everyday hospital activities. I attend ethnographically to the medical professionals’ accounts of and interactions with bodies and organs in their work dealing with both donors after brain death diagnosis and uncontrolled donors after circulatory death diagnosis. During fieldwork, I followed the struggles of the transplant coordination team grappling with unruly bodies under different maintenance technologies. The body being done in these hospital practices is an active and unstable materiality that must be contended with: a labile body, or a fragile assemblage of interdependent functions, requiring multiple interventions provided by a host of dedicated hospital practitioners. The article shows that staying close to the medical professionals’ situated accounts is a valuable route to gaining novel understandings of the donor body.

Published: November 2024

As bacias hidrográficas vêm sofrendo crescente degradação ambiental, como falta de vegetação ciliar e erosão das margens dos  rios. É fundamental que tais regiões sejam monitoradas para se dispor de um levantamento integrado que permita a manutenção de sua qualidade. Este  trabalho visou avaliar a qualidade das águas das nascentes da bacia hidrográfica do rio Coruripe, no litoral sul de Alagoas, Brasil. Para as análises da água, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: aspecto, gosto, odor, cor verdadeira, temperatura, pH, alcalinidade, dureza total, turbidez, condutividade elétrica, sólidos totais dissolvidos, demanda bioquímica de oxigênio,  fosfatos totais, nitritos totais, nitratos totais, sulfatos totais, cloretos totais, ferro total e coliformes (totais e termotolerantes). Ao comparar os resultados obtidos com as referências padrão de qualidade preconizadas na resolução do Ministério do Meio Ambiente (CONAMA) 357/2005 e/ou na portaria do Ministério da Saúde  2.914/2011, verificou-se que, exceto para o pH, os parâmetros físico-químicos de todas as amostragens apresentaram valores compatíveis com os limites estabelecidos para classe 2 de águas doces. A maioria das amostras apresentou bactérias do grupo coliformes, mas em nenhuma detectou-se coliformes termotolerantes, que são os relacionados a contaminação fecal. O cálculo do índice  de qualidade de águas permitiu classificá-las como de qualidade boa e razoável, concluindo-se que as nascentes atenderam aos padrões de potabilidade da legislação brasileira. Portanto, o manejo adequado é muito importante, assim como ações mitigadoras para áreas já impactadas da bacia hidrográfica, incluindo políticas municipais que visem à preservação e aumento do fluxo dos cursos d’água.

Por fim, foi avaliada a estabilidade da emulsão e os efeitos do pH, temperatura e NaCl na atividade emulsificante. C. lunata é produtor de biossurfactante, reduzindo a tensão superficial até 32,9 mN/m. A redução da tensão superficial foi otimizada com inóculo, nitrogênio e manganês nas concentrações de 30 discos, 2g/L e 0,1g/L, respectivamente, e para o cobre 0,1g/L. Além disso, este fungo produz um bioemulsificante capaz de promover a emulsificação de até 98% de óleo automotivo, com elevada estabilidade em diferentes valores de pH, temperatura e salinidade. O biossurfactante produzido por C. lunata UFPEDA885 apresenta 0,02% de proteínas, 6,5% de açúcares e 87% de lipídios totais. Houve remoção de 93,5% de óleo automotivo contaminando solo arenoso e baixa fitotoxicidade frente às sementes de C. sativus, ja para A. salina a toxicidade ocorreu em concentrações do extrato a partir de 25%. C.lunata é considerado promissor na produção de biossurfactante com aplicação na biorremediação.

A contagem de probióticos nas fezes mostra-se eficiente para avaliar a resistência dos microrganismos ao trato gastrointestinal. Técnicas de plaqueamento em meios seletivos favorecem a identificação e quantificação das bactérias por plaqueamento tradicional. O ágar MRS com vancomicina e verde de bromocresol (LAMVAB) é um meio de cultura seletivo para o isolamento de lactobacilos em fezes, porém, algumas espécies de cocos e as leveduras não estão incluídas em seu espectro de inibição. Por outro lado, fluconazol é um antifúngico com amplo espectro de ação. Assim, objetivou-se desenvolver meio de cultura LAMVAB modificado pela adição de fluconazol a fim de aumentar a seletividade do mesmo e eliminar a interferência na quantificação de Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG em ensaios in vivo com ratos Wistar. L. rhamnosus GG foi adicionado ao suco de abacaxi com juçara que foi mantido a 8 °C por 28 dias. O estudo in vivo foi conduzido com 2 grupos experimentais de ratos agrupados em dieta basal (G1) e dieta basal e 1,0 mL/dia de suco probiótico (G2). Os grupos foram avaliados quanto à quantificação de L. rhamnosus GG em amostras fecais. Colônias típicas de L. rhamnosus GG em ágar LAMVAB modificado se apresentaram cremosas, regulares e levemente amareladas. A contagem do probiótico nas amostras fecais apresentou média de 5,7 Log de UFC/g de fezes. Portanto, os resultados sugerem que o meio LAMVAB modificado desenvolvido é seletivo e eficiente na caracterização de L. rhamnosus GG em amostras fecais.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar os sintomas musculoesqueléticos em atletas de padel, e investigar se existe associação dos mesmos com o tempo de prática na modalidade. Nesse estudo transversal, foram incluídos praticantes de padel, de ambos os sexos, de 18 a 40 anos de idade, no qual responderam um questionário, incluindo dados pessoais e aspectos do treinamento. Para avaliação dos sintomas musculoesqueléticos, os atletas responderam ao Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Musculoesqueléticos (QNSM), acerca de disfunções musculoesqueléticas nos últimos 12 meses. Como resultados, foram incluídos 54 praticantes de padel, com média etária de 39,7±8,42 anos, sendo 63% do sexo masculino. Também foi identificado que 37% dos participantes apresentaram algum sintoma musculoesquelético, e os locais mais acometidos por dores foram a região lombar (59,3%), os ombros (50%) e os joelhos (46,3%) respectivamente. Grande parte dos atletas (87%) com maior tempo de prática não referiu sintomas de dor cervical, enquanto que, naqueles com menor tempo de prática, quase a metade referiu sentir dor nesse segmento corporal (45,7%).  Concluímos que a prevalência de queixas musculoesqueléticas é alta nesta amostra de atletas estudados, destacando a região lombar como a mais significativa. Ademais, os atletas mais experientes apresentaram menos queixas cervicais do que os mais iniciantes. Com base nesses resultados encontrados, sugere-se a criação de estratégias preventivas, considerando o nível de experiência dos atletas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo traçar o perfil epidemiológico de indivíduos com DOPM atendidos em um centro de referência de lesões bucais na Bahia, Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, de corte transversal. Para compor a população deste estudo, foi utilizada a técnica de amostragem do tipo não probabilística, por conveniência. Sendo assim, foram incluídos no estudo os indivíduos com as desordens orais que estiveram em atendimento no Centro de Referência de Lesões Bucais da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, entre o período de 2021 a 2023. Com posse dos dados, procedeu-se com a análise descritiva no software SPSS, versão 22.0.  Duzentos e setenta e cinco indivíduos compuseram a amostra final desta pesquisa. A maioria era do sexo masculino (52,7%), de cor/raça parda (44,4%) e não apresentavam o hábito de beber álcool ou fumar. A lesão mais prevalente foi a queilite actínica (47,6%), seguida da leucoplasia (26,5%). A exposição solar sem proteção foi a condição mais prevalente (65,8%) entre os indivíduos com as desordens. A queilite actínica foi a desordem que apresentou maior número de casos encontrados na amostra, tal resultado pode ser justificado pelo alto índice de radiação solar na região onde foi realizada a pesquisa. A cor/raça mais prevalente foi a parda, podendo ser explicado pela prevalência destes na região da Bahia.

New approaches to the right to be heard in relation to the application of alternatives to administrative sanctions
Authors: Skulová Soňa , Bražina Radislav
Published: November 2024

The right to be heard is one of the key instruments that ensure adequate protection of the  participants´ rights during the proceedings before the administrative authority. This requirement is especially important in administrative offences proceedings due to fact that administrative bodies may issue also very serious sanctions and it is important to enable the offenders to influence the outcome of proceedings. Therefore may participants raise their objections, opinions, suggestions. The authors also focus on issues related to the possibility of alternative approaches to administrative sanctions and  related issues concerning ensuring adequate position of offender. These questions have not yet  attracted doctrinal attention. Article analyses the currently accepted new legislation on administrative offences proceeding, with overlaps resulting from the Council of Europe documents and including basic comparison with the processing on administrative offences in Germany and Poland. In addition, to the basic analysis of the new legislation benefits, the authors pay attention to the new instrument of “legal settlement” that allows  administrative authorities to approve  agreement between  offender and  injured party about committed administrative offence and the associated remedy. The new institute is worthy researching, particularly because it is one of the first attempts to adopt alternative approaches to administrative offences proceedings and  brings new challenges for administrative authorities. This new institute is compared with the legislation in Germany and Poland. Also methods of analysis of legal requirements of legal documents of Council of Europe and national legislation, normative analysis, literature review and deduction were used in this connection. Authors reached a rather interesting conclusion that the approaches to ADR in administrative offences proceedings are in all three examined different while the article deals more closely with these differences.
CONTEMPORARY MODELS OF POWER AS TOOLS FOR ENHANCING STATE POLICY IN THE SPHERE OF SOCIO-RELIGIOUS RELATIONS AND STRENGTHENING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY IN UKRAINE AND THE USA
Authors:   National Aviation University, Kyiv, Ukraine, GLADKYKH Valentyn
Published: November 2024

Background . The imperfection of legislation, the ambiguity of authority, resource insufficiency, the presence of religious pluralism, and interfaith conflicts complicate the formation and implementation of effective and acceptable state-regional policy in the sphere of socio-religious relations in Ukraine. Such policy should consider the interests and needs of various religious communities, organizations, and institutions, as well as promote their dialogue, cooperation, and integration. This article is dedicated to exploring the potential of contemporary models of power, influence, dependency, leadership, and policy for improving mechanisms of state policy formation and implementation in the sphere of socio-religious relations in Ukraine. The author analyzes the characteristics, problems, challenges, and prospects of state policy formation and implementation in this sphere, considering four contemporary models as conceptual foundations: French and Raven's models of power and leadership, Etzioni's model of power and influence, Emerson's model of power and dependency, and Pfeffer's model of power and politics. Methods . To achieve the defined objective, an analysis of literature and data reflecting state policy and socio-religious processes in Ukraine was applied. Comparative analysis revealed key aspects of policy in Ukraine and the USA. Historical analysis helped understand various factors and policies that shaped socio-religious relations. Systemic analysis considers state policy as a multi-level system and structural-functional analysis defines its structure and elements. Results . Scientific works of domestic and foreign scholars, legislative acts, reports of state bodies, media, international organizations, and religious communities were analyzed. The research identifies and substantiates how contemporary models of power, influence, and leadership can enhance the effectiveness of state policy in the sphere of socio-religious relations, as well as develop and propose innovative approaches and suggestions for its improvement. The study utilized methods of analysis of scientific literature, documents, statistical data, results of sociological surveys; comparative, historical, systemic, and structuralfunctional analysis. Conclusions . The author argues that to increase the effectiveness of state policy in the sphere of socio-religious relations, it is necessary to use contemporary models of power, leadership, influence, dependency, and policy. These models allow for the analysis, utilization, and development of various sources, forms, types of power, and mechanisms of policy formation used by different subjects such as the state, regions, religious communities, and public organizations in the sphere of socio-religious relations (USA).
