Authors: Ray Ankit Kumar , Kumar Yashika
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Amputation is the removal of a body extremity due to the result of any trauma, medical illness, tumor or surgery. Trauma is the leading cause of amputation in upper limb, accounting for 80% of acquired amputations. The levels of amputation in upper limb are trans-phalangeal, trans-metacarpal, trans-carpal, wrist disarticulation, trans-radial, elbow disarticulation, trans-humeral, shoulder disarticulation, and forequarter amputation. Passive prosthesis is usually prescribed as the involvement of joints is more in amputation and the level of amputation is higher. A passive functional prosthesis can be socially beneficial because it can assist in promoting a psychological acceptance of the amputee’s impaired image. The passive functional prosthesis does provide articulation and need sound limb to achieve desired position.
Aim: This study aimed to design and develop modified passive functional shoulder prosthesis incorporating a double-axis hinge shoulder joint with servo motor for enhanced mobility and psychological satisfaction in shoulder disarticulation patient.
Method: In this study a patient is taken with the amputation level through the shoulder to which passive functional shoulder prosthesis is prescribed. After this a modified passive functional shoulder prosthesis incorporating a double-axis hinge shoulder joint and servo motor was designed and fabricated for the patients of shoulder disarticulation and pretest data was taken using Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) and then prosthesis is given to the patients and after this post test data was taken and data analysis was done.
Result: The modified passive functional shoulder prosthesis incorporating a double-axis hinge shoulder joint and servo motor has improved the function and psychological satisfaction of the patient with shoulder disarticulation the pre-test data was 3.7 and the post-test value comes 8.6.
Discussion and conclusion: This study showed improved result in the function and psychological satisfaction of the patient with shoulder disarticulation as the passive functional shoulder prosthesis includes the double axis hinge shoulder joint with servo motor is developed which provide two degree of freedom of movement i.e., the flexion and extension motion in sagittal plane using the servo motor which drive the power from the 12V Li-ion battery. In this study, we evaluated the satisfaction of a patient with modified passive function shoulder prosthesis incorporating a double-axis hinge shoulder joint and servo motor and concluded that it provide the function and psychological satisfaction to the patient with shoulder disarticulation.

Published: November 2024

The present work sought to explore the dissolution profile and release kinetics of modified release diclofenac sodium microspheres comprising sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP K30). The impact of these polymers on drug release mechanism was investigated. The Ionic-gelation process was used to create nine formulations with varying quantities of polymers. The FT-IR technique was employed for analysing interactions among polymers and active medicinal molecules. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to examine the produced microspheres' form and surface morphology. The average particle size was determined using optical microscopy. The produced microspheres ranged from 50-110 µm and were ideal for modified medication delivery. Moisture content, drug entrapment efficiency, and percent yield were measured for the prepared microspheres, and the findings were satisfactory. F3 created with a drug: polymer ratio of 1:3 and 3% sodium alginate in 4% calcium chloride shown up to 99% retarding effects during an invitro drug release testing. Statistical models revealed that the drug release mechanism followed the zero order kinetic model. Finally, it was determined that sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP K30) were acceptable polymers for producing diclofenac sodium microspheres as a modified or sustained release drug delivery method.

В статье определены основные индикаторы счастья и дана их характеристика по результатам социологического опроса студенческой молодежи Республики Адыгея. В качестве основного индикатора оценки параметрических характеристик счастья выступает социологический метод исследования, который дополнен психологическим подходом. Авторское понимание счастья базируется на теории структурализма Н. Лумана, который рассматривает его с позиции диалектики эмоционального и языкового компонента. Отдельное внимание уделяется интерпретации ценностного компонента счастья, который объясняется посредством обобщения социальных представлений о настоящем и будущем. Эмпирическая база исследования основывается на результатах массового опроса студентов Адыгейского государственного университета и Майкопского государственного технологического университета (N=300). Результаты проведенного исследования показали, что счастье в восприятии студенческой молодежи Республики Адыгея репрезентировано как традиционными, так и современными ценностными ориентирами. Делается вывод о том, что счастье представляет собой интегральный показатель, который включает в себя не только психоэмоциональный и ценностный компоненты удовлетворенности в актуальный период, но и определенные ожидания в построении траектории развития личности в будущем и достижении желаемого уровня благополучия в перспективе.

The article identifies the main indicators of happiness and provides their characteristics based on the results of a sociological survey of student youth in the Republic of Adyghea. The sociological research method serves as the primary indicator for assessing the parametric characteristics of happiness, complemented by a psychological approach. The author’s understanding of happiness is based on N. Luhmann’s theory of structuralism, which examines it from the perspective of the dialectic between emotional and linguistic components. Special attention is given to the interpretation of the value component of happiness, which is explained through the generalization of social perception of the present and future. The empirical basis of the study relies on the results of a mass survey conducted among students of Adyghe State University and Maykop State Technological University (N=300). The findings indicate that happiness, as perceived by the student youth of the Republic of Adyghea, is represented by both traditional and modern value orientations. It is concluded that happiness serves as an integral indicator that encompasses not only the psycho-emotional and value components of satisfaction in the current period but also specific expectations regarding personal development trajectories in the future and achieving a desired level of well-being in the long term.

Authors: Ф. Купер
Published: November 2024

В 1950—1960-е годы колониальные империи, казалось, уступили место миру национальных государств. Но первая волна деколонизации в Северной и Южной Америке пришлась на период между 1780-ми и 1820-ми годами. В данной статье рассматриваются отношения между этими двумя волнами деколонизации и той волной колонизации, которая имела место между ними. Вместо того чтобы вписывать два периода деколонизации в единый нарратив, я утверждаю, что каждый из них повлек за собой ожесточенную борьбу, в которой национальный суверенитет был лишь одним из возможных итогов, и что в промежутке между деколонизациями империи расцвели с новой силой, трансформировались и оказались переизобретены. Вторая волна деколонизации, в отличие от первой, нанесла удар по самой идее империи. Но обе волны не дали ответа на вопрос, который волновал возглавлявших их активистов: можно ли обратить политическое освобождение на пользу экономической и социальной справедливости? Данная статья указывает на способы использования и границы понятия «деколонизация» с точки зрения понимания борьбы за мировую справедливость.

In the 1950s and 1960s, colonial empires seemed to give way to a world of nation-states. But the first wave of decolonization in the Americas occurred between the 1780s and 1820s. This article examines the relationship between these two waves of decolonization and the wave of colonization that occurred between them. Rather than fitting the two periods of decolonization into a single narrative, I argue that each entailed fierce struggles in which national sovereignty was only one possible outcome, and that in between decolonizations empires blossomed with renewed vigor, transformed, and found themselves reinvented. The second wave of decolonization, unlike the first, dealt a blow to the very idea of empire. However, both waves failed to answer the question that preoccupied the activists who led them: could political liberation be turned in favor of economic and social justice? This article points to the uses and limits of the term “decolonization” in terms of understanding struggles for global justice.
Республиканские проекты в России
Authors: О. Хархордин
Published: November 2024

В статье вкратце описываются история классического (гражданского) республиканизма в дореволюционной и послереволюционной России. Приводится обычная аргументация споров его российских сторонников со сторонниками либеральной идеи. Если классический республиканизм имел шансы в дореволюционной России и может иметь реалистические шансы сейчас, пытаться найти его в СССР — трудно, если не безнадежно. СССР характеризуется в терминах классической политической теории как однопартийная деспотия или как извращение благой формы res publica под названием монархия. Также в статье оценивается популярность республиканизма сейчас и перспективы его развития.

The article gives a brief summary of the development of classical (civic) republicanism in Russia before and after the 1917 revolution. An overview of usual arguments that figure in the debates between Russian adherents of classical republicanism and liberalism are given in the end. If classical republicanism had feasible chances to become reality in pre-revolutionary Russia, and might have realistic chances to be implemented today, then trying to find it in the USSR is difficult if not well-nigh impossible. In terms of classical political theory the USSR is described as a one-party despotism or as a corrupt form of res publica named monarchy. The paper evaluates republicanism’s current popularity and its contemporary prospects.
Иосиф Бродский: преодоление имперского
Authors: А. Ранчин
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена соотношению антиимперских и имперских мотивов в творчестве Иосифа Бродского. Поэт безусловно отрицал Империю как воплощение тоталитарного начала, о чем свидетельствует образ Римского государства в его стихотворениях; Рим здесь во многом является аллегорией Советского Союза. Так понимаемой Империи Бродский противопоставляет позицию частного человека и поэта. Имперское начало в творчестве Бродского не было полностью преодолено. Однако имперскость у поэта лишена собственно политического элемента и апелляции к истории. Воспоминание о прошлом является у него не основанием для пестования национальной гордыни, а напоминанием об исторической вине.

The article is devoted to the relationship between anti-imperial and imperial motifs in the works of Joseph Brodsky. The poet certainly denied the Empire as the embodiment of a totalitarian principle, as evidenced by the image of the Roman state in his poems; Rome here is in many ways an allegory of the Soviet Union. Brodsky contrasts the position of the Empire with the position of a private person and a poet. The imperial element in Brodsky’s work was not completely overcome. However, the poet’s imperialism is devoid of a strictly political element and an appeal to history. For him, the memory of the past is not a basis for nurturing national pride, but a reminder of historical guilt.
Народная война и пчелиный улей: нация и империя в «Войне и мире»
Authors: О. Майорова
Published: November 2024

В статье анализируются символические репрезентации русского народа в «Войне и мире» и стоящие за ними философские представления Толстого 1860-х годов. Рассматривая роман в контексте центральной проблемы национального воображения XIX века — проблемы соотношения нации и империи — автор статьи сопоставляет толстовское понимание народной войны с инструментализацией памяти о 1812 годе в патриотической прессе 1860-х годов и приходит к выводу, что роман Толстого полемически заострен против ключевых постулатов имперского дискурса, сложившегося в России в эпоху Великих реформ.

Focusing on Lev Tolstoy’s worldview in the 1860s, this paper explores symbolic representations of the Russian people in War and Peace and considers the novel in the context of the nation/empire dichotomy — the central issue of the Russian nineteenthcentury national imagination. The author juxtaposes Tolstoy’s vision of the War of 1812 with a trope of people’s war, as it was utilized by the Russian patriotic press of the 1860s, to argue that War and Peace challenges key tenets of the imperial discourse that took shape in Russia during the Great Reforms.

Água e energia elétrica são recurso essenciais indispensáveis à vida e para o desenvolvimento de atividades humanas. Com a modernização dos sistemas de saneamento e dos equipamentos elétricos, o consumo de energia nesses setores aumenta proporcionalmente. O surgimento das bombas hidráulicas movidas à motores elétricos foi o que permitiu o aumento do atendimento desses serviços. Assim, percebe-se que a energia elétrica se relaciona de forma direta ao incremento da oferta ao saneamento. Neste contexto, os conjuntos motobombas dos sistemas de saneamento são responsáveis pelo consumo de aproximadamente 2% a 3% da energia mundial. Dessa forma, torna-se imprescindível a busca por soluções sinérgicas que integrem ambos os setores, visando melhorias nos processos operacional e energético. Por isso, o presente artigo buscou avaliar formas de gerir uma estação de tratamento de esgoto (ETE), com enfoque na eficiência energética, e propor opções de melhoria de eficiência energética para o caso. Como resultado da análise das opções de eficiência na infraestrutura e operação, concluiu-se que a melhor opção atual para a ETE em análise é a migração para o mercado livre de energia e o desenvolvimento concomitante de ações de gestão para acompanhamento e adequação tarifária do perfil de consumo da estação.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho agronômico de híbridos de sorgo inoculados com bactérias solubilizadoras de P, em restrição hídrica. Os ensaios, um com irrigação durante todo o ciclo e outro com suspensão da irrigação aos 49 DAE, foram realizados na unidade experimental do Gorutuba pertencente à Embrapa Milho e Sorgo, localizada em Nova Porteirinha, MG. Os tratamentos foram compostos por 04 híbridos comerciais (BRS310, BRS332, DKB540 e DKB590) de sorgo granífero, com e sem inoculação com bactérias solubilizadoras de P (Bacillus subtilis e Bacillus megaterium). O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com 04 repetições e as parcelas foram compostas por 04 fileiras de 3 metros de comprimento, considerando as duas fileiras centrais como área útil. As características avaliadas foram: florescimento, teor de clorofila, fluorescência da clorofila, condutância estomática, área de superfície foliar, diâmetro de colmo, massa de mil grãos, produtividade de grãos, eficiência no uso da água. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a inoculação de bactérias Bacillus subtilis e Bacillus megaterium apresentou efeito apenas sobre o teor de clorofila aos 64 dias após a semeadura e diâmetro de colmo.

Published: November 2024

O interesse pelo tema surgiu durante a realização do Curso de Pedagogia na Unioeste, campus de Cascavel, em atividades de extensão acerca da Brinquedoteca. Nesse período, indagou-se: Quais os benefícios da (Eco) Brinquedoteca, especialmente, para o curso de Pedagogia? Para tanto, utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica, de artigos retirados da internet como Orientação para Implantação de (Eco) Brinquedoteca, que apresenta um ambiente lúdico de aprendizagem sustentável. Recorreu-se ainda, ao documento das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o Curso de Pedagogia, a fim de identificar se o lúdico e questões ambientais são defendidos na formação inicial do professor. Portanto, é mister que a (Eco) Brinquedoteca seja implantada nos cursos de formação inicial de professores; pois todavia, através deste estudo constatou-se que a (Eco) Brinquedoteca inserida nos cursos de formação de professores, no curso de Pedagogia, proporcionaria, por exemplo, o aprender a brincar com sustentabilidade; o interagir com diversas pessoas; o conhecer diversos conteúdos por meio do lúdico e, o desenvolvimento da cidadania; ademais, apuramos que esse ambiente atende as atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, uma vez que a mesma pode estar presente nos processos que envolvem pesquisas, reflexões, contato com o prático e que trazem contribuições para a comunidade acadêmica e geral.
