Reading California’s Power Grid: A Metonymic Methodology
Authors: Gerson Sage
Published: August 2022

As climate change intensifies, the global imperative to minimize carbon emissions and move beyond oil deepens. Many visions for the future of energy imagine increased electrification as a solution to the transition away from fossil fuels that does not require major cultural change. In this imaginary, electricity acts as a bridge between the fossil-fueled twentieth century and technologically driven green energy futures. Not only does the vision of a green electrified future fail to address the unjust cultural and political power relations that surround energy systems, it also ignores the already disastrous impacts climate change has had on the US power grid. Examining the environmental entanglements of and the cultural imaginaries that shape electrification is necessary to imagining and enacting more just and transformative energy futures that do not use electrification as a means of prolonging the current extractive, colonial, and capitalist cultural approaches to energy.

This essay takes as its starting point the tension between visions of green electric futures and the material reality of the grid. Focusing on California’s electricity grid, this essay analyzes electricity’s complicated web of power relations by triangulating three case studies that apply a metonymic methodology for close reading the region’s power grid. PG&E’s smart meter upgrades are the focus of the first case study. The second case study examines California’s recent electricity equipment–sparked superfires. Finally, the essay concludes with a third case study focused on PG&E’s public safety power shutoffs, the utility’s safety response intended to prevent additional fires. Ultimately, the three case studies, when juxtaposed, provide very different perspectives on the dominant narratives surrounding electrification. When triangulated, the case studies show how the imaginary of easily accessed limitless electricity, which fuels visions of increased electrification as a solution to climate change, relies on both an abstraction of the power grid and the continuation of unjust colonial practices.

Authors: Tsekhmister H. , Kopilov, E. , Nadkernychna O. , Kyslynska A.
Published: August 2022

Aim. To investigate the phylogenetic relations of P. melonis strain 502 and to study the varietal sensitivity of cu-
cumber plants to P. melonis strain 502. Methods. DNA was extracted using the enzymatic lysis buffer. The PCR was
conducted following White et al. protocol (1990). The obtained PCR-products were determined by sequencing on
the automatic capillary sequencer Applied Biosystems ABI Prism 3130. The sequence of the gene 5.8S rRNA of P.
melonis strain 502 was compared to the sequences from the GenBank database using the BLAST analysis. The phy-
logenetic analysis was conducted by the neighbor-joining method. The evolutionary distances were estimated by the
method of Jukes & Cantor. The evolutionary analysis was conducted in MEGA7. The sensitivity of cucumber plants
was determined during a vegetative experiment with artificial infection background (AIB), created by introducing the
infectious material of fungus P. melonis strain 502 into the soil. The infectious material was introduced at a rate of 50
thousand CFU/per 1 g of soil. The damage to the root system was assessed after 14 days of cultivating plants on the
AIB. The disease severity index (DSI) was estimated to determine the general sensitivity of the investigated varieties.
The varieties, which received DSI
Effect of hydrochloric polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMGH) and polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMBH), also in combination with plant essential oils and ZnO nanoparticles on some eukaryotic cattle and pig cells
Authors: Lysytsya A. , Kryvoshyya P. , Kvartenko O. , Lebed O.
Published: August 2022

Aim. To investigate both toxic (hemolytic), and stimulating effects of two polymeric derivatives of guani-
dine, in particular, polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) and polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMB) both
in the hydrochloride form, on eukaryotic cells depending on the concentration of the preparation; to study the
possibility of using wound-healing and stimulating properties of these preparations in veterinary medicine.
Methods. The hemolytic activity (toxicity) of PHMGH and PHMBH preparations in the concentration of
0.1% towards cattle and pig erythrocytes was determined by titration. Primary cell cultures of fetal kidney
cells of calves and piglets were used to determine the influence of PHMGH and PHMBH both alone and in
combination with the following biologically active substances: essential oils of Pinus sylvestris, Eucalyptus
globulus, Citrus sinensis, Monarda didyma, ZnO nanoparticles (size c. 25 nm), and electrochemically acti-
vated water – anolyte (Eh = –800 mV, pH 6.5–7.0). The concentration of the cells in the nutrient medium was
determined via photocolorimetry. Results. It was found that depending on the concentration, PHMGH, and
PHMBH preparations can cause the lysis of erythrocytes, and stimulate cell proliferative activity, including
the formation of a monolayer of kidney cells of calves and piglets They cause hemolysis of cattle erythro-
cytes in the concentrations commonly used for disinfection, i.e., about 0.1 %, in the average titers of 1 : 7 for
PHMGH and 1 : 2.5 for PHMBH. Therefore, PHMBH shows greater hemolytic (biocidal) activity for cattle
erythrocytes than PHMGH (in ≈2.8x). The high molecular weight fraction of PHMBH (M2 ≈ 2,000–7,000
Da) demonstrated a lower (in ≈2.4x) hemolytic activity than the low molecular weight basic fraction (M1 ≈
500–2,000 Da). The experiments on the kidney cell cultures of pigs and cattle have shown that at non-toxic
concentrations (10–5 %) PHMBH can effectively stimulate (from 27 to 65 % increase) the proliferative activ-
ity of eukaryotic cells and accelerate the formation of a monolayer of cells. The combinations of PHMGH
with some essential oils of medicinal plants also show a good effect (from 52 to 95 % increase), and PHMBH
shows a good effect with oil of pine for pig kidney cells (20 % increase) and oil of horsemint for cattle kidney
cells (67 % increase). Conclusions. PHMGH and PHMBH can possibly be used in agricultural production
not only as disinfectants or antiseptics, but also in wound healing. Although their toxicity is also significant to
eukaryotic cells, yet they can possibly be used in veterinary medicine in low concentrations (0.005–0.5 %) for
the treatment of wounds of various origin, including burns, in the composition of ointments, gels, bandages,
or plasters, which we have presently in investigation.
Comparative analysis of karyotypes of Вovidae family from the evolutionary aspect
Authors: Dzitsiuk V. , Bratytsia H. , Dyman T.
Published: August 2022

Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze chromosome sets of specific species of agricultural animals of Bovidae
family using the techniques of differentiated G- and Ag-banding of chromosomes and to demonstrate the role of
their variability in the evolution. Methods. The culture of lymphocytes and chromosome preparations were pre-
pared by the method of Moorhead et al (1960). The preparations of metaphase chromosomes were analyzed by the
G-banding methods of Barch M J et al (1997) and by Ag-banding method of Zhu JJ et al (2019). The chromosomal
aberrations were classified according to the recommendations of the International System for Chromosome No-
menclature of Domestic Bovids (2001). The dendrogram of phylogenetic relations between mammalian species
was built using “STATISTICA 6.1”. Results. The comparative study of the chromosomal sets of cattle Bos taurus,
domestic sheep Ovis aries and river buffalo Bubalus bubalis bubalis was conducted using G- and Ag-banding
methods. The homology of the structural organization of chromosomes and the evolutionary changes in karyotypes
of Bovidae family were analyzed, highlighting their sex chromosomes and the chromosomes with specific local-
ized groups of gene linkage. A considerable homology of chromosome sites was found in the representatives of the
investigated species by the G-banding profiles. To study the phylogenetic interrelations, the index of the number
of active nucleolus organizer regions (NOR) in the chromosomes during the metaphase stage was used. Conclu-
sions. The comparison of the morphology of chromosomes of agricultural animals of Bovidae family, Bos taurus,
Ovis aries, and Bubalus bubalis bubalis confirms the association between the homology of some chromosomal
sites and the formation of metacentric chromosomes due to the linkage of acrocentric ones. The species-specific
morphological differences in sex chromosomes of the investigated animals were found in terms of the length and
presence of pericentric inversions. The phylogenetic relations between the species of Bovidae family demonstrate
that the value of distances, determined based on the variability of the number of active NOR, reflects the degree
of their phylogenetic similarity.

Information-measuring technologies (IMT) are an important instrument for solving problems of energy informatics. They allow to form primary information based on the interaction of energy facilities with IMT sensors that form information signals. In many practical applications, the constructive model of information signals is the model of narrowband signals. The article summarizes the features of the discrete Hilbert transform and its application to obtain the primary characteristics of information signals – bypass and phase as functions of time. The main advantages of using the discrete Hilbert transform in signal processing for energy informatics are considered, including the consistency of obtaining frequency and time characteristics, high information content, the ability to analyze the dynamics of changes in signal characteristics, the possibility of obtaining samples of characteristics of information signals of significant volumes, etc. It is proposed to use a phase characteristic to select the time interval that limits the signal sample and sets it to a multiple of the signal period, and the sampling rate of information signals to reduce the errors in estimating their spectrum. The possibility of obtaining on their basis secondary deterministic (voltage level, voltage deviations from the nominal level, attenuation coefficient, signal period, signal phase shift, oscillation frequency, etc.) and statistical (sample characteristic, sample variance, sample median, sample circular variance, sample circular median, sample circular kurtosis, etc.) of signal information characteristics, which allows more complete to use their information resource. These characteristics can be used both for assessing power quality characteristics and for monitoring and diagnosing of energy facilities.

Ukraine's Green Energy Transition by 2050 involves a number of energy transformations in the economy, including decarbonisation, fossil fuel abandonment and the further development of renewable energy sources (RES). For a long-term storage of energy generated by RES, the chemical systems are most suitable that convert electricity into chemical energy of such types of fuels like hydrogen and ammonia, which after being burnt do not produce emissions of carbon monoxide and oxide, sulfur dioxide, or dust. Ammonia manufacturers that use traditional production technology are being themselves large consumers of fossil fuels and electricity and emit hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide. An ecological alternative is the synthesis of green ammonia based on the electrolytic production of hydrogen using electricity produced by RES. But this option requires a lot of electricity. In the context of Ukraine, with an annual demand for the production of 5 million tons of carbon-free ammonia, the required consumption of electricity amounts to 55 billion kWh. To obtain green ammonia in Ukraine, it is necessary to dramatically increase the scope of nuclear power plants and RES capacities, while abandoning the use of coal-fired power plants. Decentralized production of green ammonia can become an effective regulator of electric power in the power system without restrictions on the operation of nuclear power plants and RES. The start of this production will come after the development of synthesis technologies of green ammonia and the expiration of RES preferences in the energy market of Ukraine. Keywords: ammonia, carbon dioxide, emission, electricity, RES, demand-side load regulation.
Sex Assigned at Birth Ratio Among Transgender and Gender Diverse Adolescents in the United States
Authors: Turban Jack L. , Dolotina Brett , King Dana , Keuroghlian Alex S.
Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE

Representatives of some pediatric gender clinics have reported an increase in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents presenting for care who were assigned female sex at birth (AFAB) relative to those assigned male sex at birth (AMAB). These data have been used to suggest that youth come to identify as TGD because of “social contagion,” with the underlying assumption that AFAB youth are uniquely vulnerable to this hypothesized phenomenon. Reported changes in the AMAB:AFAB ratio have been cited in recent legislative debates regarding the criminalization of gender-affirming medical care. Our objective was to examine the AMAB:AFAB ratio among United States TGD adolescents in a larger and more representative sample than past clinic-recruited samples.

METHODS

Using the 2017 and 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey across 16 states that collected gender identity data, we calculated the AMAB:AFAB ratio for each year. We also examined the rates of bullying victimization and suicidality among TGD youth compared with their cisgender peers.

RESULTS

The analysis included 91 937 adolescents in 2017 and 105 437 adolescents in 2019. In 2017, 2161 (2.4%) participants identified as TGD, with an AMAB:AFAB ratio of 1.5:1. In 2019, 1640 (1.6%) participants identified as TGD, with an AMAB:AFAB ratio of 1.2:1. Rates of bullying victimization and suicidality were higher among TGD youth when compared with their cisgender peers.

CONCLUSION

The sex assigned at birth ratio of TGD adolescents in the United States does not appear to favor AFAB adolescents and should not be used to argue against the provision of gender-affirming medical care for TGD adolescents.
Early Enteral Feeding for Preterm or Low Birth Weight Infants: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Chitale Ramaa , Ferguson Kacey , Talej Megan , Yang Wen-Chien , He Siran , Edmond Karen M. , Smith Emily R.
Published: August 2022

CONTEXT

Early enteral feeding has been associated with adverse outcomes such as necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm and low birth weight infants.

OBJECTIVES

To assess effects of early enteral feeding initiation within the first days after birth compared to delayed initiation.

DATA SOURCES

Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL from inception to June 30, 2021.

STUDY SELECTION

Randomized trials (RCTs) were included. Primary outcomes were mortality, morbidity, growth, neurodevelopment, feed intolerance, and duration of hospitalization.

DATA EXTRACTION

Data were extracted and pooled with random-effects models.

RESULTS

We included 14 randomized controlled trials with 1505 participants in our primary analysis comparing early (<72 hours) to delayed (≥72 hours) enteral feeding initiation. Early initiation likely decreased mortality at discharge and 28 days (1292 participants, 12 trials, relative risk 0.69, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.48–0.99, moderate certainty evidence) and duration of hospitalization (1100 participants, 10 trials, mean difference −3.20 days, 95%CI −5.74 to −0.66, moderate certainty evidence). The intervention may also decrease sepsis and weight at discharge. Based on low certainty evidence, early feeding may have little to no effect on necrotizing enterocolitis, feed intolerance, and days to regain birth weight. The evidence is very uncertain regarding the effect of initiation time on intraventricular hemorrhage, length, and head circumference at discharge.

CONCLUSIONS

Enteral feeding within 72 hours after birth likely reduces the risk of mortality and length of hospital stay, may reduce the risk of sepsis, and may reduce weight at discharge.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Many preterm and low birth weight (LBW) infants have low vitamin D stores. The objective of this study was to assess effects of enteral vitamin D supplementation compared with no vitamin D supplementation in human milk fed preterm or LBW infants.

METHODS

Data sources include Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline, and Embase from inception to March 16, 2021. The study selection included randomized trials. Data were extracted and pooled with fixed and random-effects models.

RESULTS

We found 3 trials (2479 participants) that compared vitamin D to no vitamin D. At 6 months, there was increase in weight-for-age z-scores (mean difference 0.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01 to 0.22, 1 trial, 1273 participants), height-for-age z-scores (mean difference 0.12, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.21, 1 trial, 1258 participants); at 3 months there was decrease in vitamin D deficiency (risk ratio 0.58, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.68, I2=58%, 2 trials, 504 participants) in vitamin D supplementation groups. However, there was little or no effect on mortality, any serious morbidity, hospitalization, head circumference, growth to 6 years and neurodevelopment. The certainty of evidence ranged from very low to moderate. Fourteen trials (1969 participants) assessed dose and reported no effect on mortality, morbidity, growth, or neurodevelopment, except on parathyroid hormone and vitamin D status. No studies assessed timing. Limitations include heterogeneity and small sample size in included studies.

CONCLUSIONS

Enteral vitamin D supplementation improves growth and vitamin D status in preterm and LBW infants.
Neue Perspektiven für geochemische Untersuchungen von neolithischen Steingeräten
Authors: Ramminger Britta , Helfert Markus
Published: August 2022

Dechselklingen sind charakteristische Hinterlassenschaften des mitteleuropäischen Alt- und Mittelneolithikums. Sie sind wichtige Quellen wirtschafts- und sozialarchäologischer Untersuchungen. Für diese ist die Bestimmung der verwendeten Rohmaterialien und deren Herkunft Voraussetzung. In den letzten Jahren fanden daher umfangreiche geochemische und petrographische Untersuchungen von Dechselklingen statt. Im Rahmen verschiedener Projekte entstand eine Datenbank mit geochemischen Analysen von inzwischen weit über 500 Dechselklingen und Rohmaterialstücken. Die Analysen wurden durchweg mittels wellenlängendispersiver Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse (WD-RFA) generiert. Mit der petrographischen und geochemischen Untersuchung ging stets eine Probenentnahme an den untersuchten Stücken einher, die zu mehr oder minder starker Beschädigung der Artefakte führte. Die seit kurzem in der archäometrischen Keramikanalytik eingesetzte portable energiedispersive Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse (P-ED-RFA) kann hingegen zerstörungsfrei die geochemische Zusammensetzung von Gefäßkeramik ermitteln. Anders als bei allen bislang verwendeten Verfahren muss die Probe nicht mehr im Labor aufbereitet, sondern kann mit relativ geringem Zeitaufwand direkt am Ort durchgeführt werden. Somit steht ein zeit- und damit kostengünstiges Verfahren zur Verfügung.

Die Ausstellung „Osmanen in Hamburg – eine Beziehungsgeschichte zur Zeit des Ersten Weltkrieges“, die vom 6. November 2014 bis zum 4. Januar 2015 in der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Carl von Ossietzky gezeigt wurde, widmete sich anlässlich des 100. Jahrestages der „Urkatastrophe“ den deutsch-osmanischen Beziehungen aus Hamburger Sicht und nahm vor allem die Zeit zwischen 1914 und 1918 in den Blick.
Die erstmals gezeigten Archivmaterialien veranschaulichen dabei nicht nur die wirtschaftlichen, diplomatischen und kulturellen Kontakte. Sie vermitteln vor allem einen Eindruck von der Präsenz und vom Leben der ethnisch wie religiös heterogenen Gruppe der Osmanen (u. a. Armenier, Griechen, sephardische Juden, muslimische Türken) in Hamburg, deren Spuren sich bis ins 19. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen lassen.
Der vorliegende Katalog möchte aber nicht nur die in acht Sektionen unterteilte Ausstellung dokumentieren. Er liefert mit zusätzlichen acht Beiträgen einen weiterführenden Einblick in die komplexe und ambivalente osmanisch-deutsche bzw. hamburgisch-osmanische Beziehungsgeschichte. In drei Kapiteln werden neben den transkulturellen Begegnungen wie Kulturdifferenzen der Zeit von etwa 1850 bis 1909, die kolonialen Ambitionen und orientalistischen Embleme des Deutschen Reiches, aber auch die Rolle deutscher Frauen im Osmanischen Reich zwischen 1914 und 1918 beleuchtet.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el desempeño de investigadores paraguayos de las disciplinas de medicina, bioquímica y biología a través del Índice h de Hirsch comparando Google Scholar y Scopus. Es un estudio descriptivo con enfoque cuantitativo. Se incluyeron todos los investigadores paraguayos de las áreas mencionadas cuyos datos se encontraban disponibles en Google Scholar y/o Scopus. Para la identificación inicial de los investigadores se recurrió al cvpy disponible en la página web del CONACYT, Paraguay, y se utilizó el software Publish or Perish. Se identificaron 158 investigadores, de ellos ocho están posicionados en la escala de Hirsch. El 13 % de los investigadores tuvieron un índice h igual o mayor a 10 en Google Scholar y Scopus, correspondiendo al área de medicina el valor más alto, 54 en Google Scholar y 47 en Scopus. El desempeño de los investigadores por el índice h está por debajo de la región. Existe necesidad de mayor inversión en las revistas científicas nacionales para su indexación en bases de datos que colecciona revistas de mayor impacto.

Enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles en Argentina: modelo y pronósticos por sexo y edad
Authors: Del Luján Tosello Joana María , Andreozzi Lucia
Published: August 2022

Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) son padecimientos intransferibles por contacto de persona a persona y se caracterizan por su evolución generalmente lenta. En Argentina, son la principal causa de muerte y discapacidad, solo dos grupos de estas (cardiovasculares y cáncer) son responsables de la mitad del total de las muertes y del 27 % de los años de vida potencialmente perdidos (AVPP). El objetivo general de este trabajo cuantitativo, transversal y descriptivo es describir y analizar el perfil según edad y sexo de las tasas de mortalidad por ECNT en Argentina, a partir del modelo para datos funcionales (MDF) de Hyndman y Ullah (2007). Dicho método permite, además, pronosticar el comportamiento de los índices al considerar los cambios relacionados con la edad y la tendencia observada a través del tiempo. La diferencia relativa en la mortalidad entre el inicio del periodo de estudio (1985 a 2014) y el pronóstico para el año 2025 indica que, de continuar el comportamiento imperante, se alcanzarían descensos de alrededor del 50 % para hombres de entre 30 y 50 años y del 20 % para mujeres de entre 20 y 35 años. Estos resultados apuntan, de un modo más general, a que las tasas de mortalidad de los grupos etarios menores de 70 años, cuyas defunciones se denominan prematuras, son claramente descendentes para ambos sexos, aunque el caso de los hombres destaca, pues, si bien presentan mayores tasas de mortalidad por ECNT, el descenso es más marcado.

Objetivo: analizar si el origen social y ciertas características sociodemográficas como la escolaridad, el empleo y el ser madre influyen en el aplazamiento de la primera unión  en dos cohortes de mujeres mexicanas. Fuente de datos: Encuesta Demográfica Retrospectiva de 2017. Metodología: se utilizaron técnicas descriptivas y multivariadas de historia de eventos. En el análisis multivariado, se ajustaron dos modelos de historia de eventos, uno para la cohorte más antigua y otro para la más joven. Resultados: las mujeres nacidas entre 1978 y 1987 retrasaron más su calendario en comparación con las nacidas entre 1962 y 1967. La proporción de ocurrencia de la primera unión a los 30 años ha cambiado según la cohorte de nacimiento, las mujeres más jóvenes muestran menores porcentajes al respecto. Las mujeres de la cohorte más joven con alto nivel educativo, sin hijos y de mayor estrato tienen menos probabilidades de unirse. Conclusiones: el calendario de la unión en México es heterogéneo y está acentuado por las nuevas generaciones, la clase socioeconómica, el nivel educativo y la fecundidad previa.
Prophecy and Power: Muhammad and the Qur'an in the Light of Comparison
Authors: Waldman Marilyn Robinson
Published: August 2022

A posthumous work by the most rigorous comparativist in her generation of Islamic studies scholars, Prophecy and Power proposes a major innovative approach to both the Prophet Muhammad and the Noble Qur’an. By the end of the ninth century the Prophet Muhammad had emerged as an intercommunal norm beyond compare, and yet the very constructedness of this model of Muhammad allows historians of religion to see how the process itself requires us to undercut the terms used. We undercut them by qualifying them with multiple meanings, both overlapping and corrective, but we also decapitalize them in order to suggest how much broader they were in earlier contexts, and how much broader they may become, or were intended to become, in later contexts.

Association Serum Lipid Levels with Periodontal Disease in Korean Adults Over the Age of 50: The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2016-2018
Authors: Yeun Young-Ran , Kwak Yi Sub , Kim Hye-Young
Published: August 2022

PURPOSE: Although the prevalence of periodontal disease in adults over the age of 50 is rapidly increasing, the association between serum lipid levels and periodontal disease in Korean adults over the age of 50 still remains to investigate. Thus, the aim was to determine the effect of serum lipid levels on periodontal disease in older adults over the age of 50 using data from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.METHODS: The study used the data of 809 adults aged ≥50 years targeted in the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2016-2018. Levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density- lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol), and low density-lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol) and periodontal conditions were measured. Complex-sample chi square test and linear regression were used to analyze the relationship serum lipid levels with periodontal disease.RESULTS: The results of chi square tests showed that the prevalence of periodontal disease among the elderly ≥50 years were statistically significant differences according to gender, age, education level, marital status, and smoking status. After adjusting for all confounding factors, HDL-cholesterol alleviated periodontal disease, while LDL-cholesterol exacerbates periodontal disease. However, total cholesterol and triglycerides were not connected with periodontal disease.CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, controlling HDL and LDL cholesterol levels through physical exercise could be a preventative measure for periodontal disease.
Design features of modular buildings
Authors: Shirokov Viacheslav
Published: August 2022

The paper is devoted to modular buildings as а current topic of modern construction. A significant number of studies on this topic have appeared both in Russia and abroad in last years. It is necessary to classify modular buildings and highlight their design features to systematize the research.
The main distinguishing feature of modular construction is the erection of a structure from volumetric modular blocks manufactured at the factory, each of which must also fully meet the requirements of functional, technical, economic feasibility and architectural expressiveness.
Steel or wood is a common materials for modular constructions. Steel modular buildings have become more widespread due to their greater bearing capacity, so the paper provides a classification of modular buildings with a steel structure.
Modular buildings are classified according to the following features: structural system of the building (arrangement and load transmission from one module to other); framework of modules (bearing structures of individual modules); nodal connections. There is two types of nodal connections: intermodular (joints of modules to each other) and intramodular (joints of beams and columns inside the module).
Based on a review of literature sources and an analysis of advantages and disadvantages, the most common structural solutions for modular buildings in the Russian Federation were identified: buildings from stacked modules with support columns, intermodular joints on welding and welded intramodular joints.

Authors: Chalova Olga , Sokolova Julia
Published: August 2022

This article discusses the issue of determining the level of environmental basic knowledge of students as the basis of environmental competence at the stage of higher education. It is obvious that people who already have a certain level of environmental knowledge and skills, with their own environmental thinking, come to get higher education. Thus, it is very important to determine the real level of environmental competence of students at the beginning of their professional training in higher education. The authors of the article conducted an oral survey to analyze the attitude of 1st-year students of a technical university to environmental education by means of a foreign language, then students were offered testing to determine their level of basic environmental knowledge, and completed the study with another oral survey of students to identify readiness to receive environmental knowledge in a foreign language. The conducted experiment showed an average level of background environmental knowledge, but at the same time demonstrated the interest of the subjects in studying environmental fundamentals by means of a foreign language. The need for environmentally competent highly qualified specialists poses one of the main tasks for the higher technical school — the training of engineers with good environmental knowledge. The authors propose to improve environmental competence through the introduction of an integrated educational and methodological complex "Ecology-English" by means of a foreign language.
Minimum wage: problems of inequality and social justice

Work associated with low wages, close to the minimum level, creates prerequisites for inequality and the release of a much larger number of employees from the intra-company labor market than for people with competitive earnings. The position is substantiated, according to which the restraint of wage growth is due to the method of achieving economic efficiency and the lack of social justice based on the use of cheap labor, the weakness of the local labor market and the low level of bargaining power, which is characterized by the effect of snobbery. The authors point out that trade unions, as active participants in the social dialogue, do not exert proper influence on political processes in order to establish optimal and reasonable minimum wage rates. The analysis showed that in extremely uncompetitive labor markets, where there are usually low wages, prerequisites for income inequality are formed and minimum wage legislation could help provide a certain compensatory force in support of unorganized workers, as well as achieving social justice.
It is proved that employers do not make decisions about hiring in a vacuum, and institutional and political frameworks can play an important role in influencing the formation of demand for labor. In addition, the national minimum wage has not been sufficiently revised and adjusted in recent years, taking into account economic development, institutional and political factors, and may become a "permanent rate" for many low-paid jobs in the absence of collective bargaining and limit the growth of real earnings. The study shows that the minimum wage has the potential to destroy jobs for low-skilled workers and creates an institutional environment of "winners" and "losers" despite the fact that most of the workforce has access only to poor and low-paid jobs, which are characteristic of the Russian model of the labor market with a high level of employment. It is recommended to create effective jobs in the economy based on the institutionalization of education and the growth of professional and qualification growth.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the professional interaction in the Emergency Care Network in the care of patients with acute ischemic stroke in the city of Salvador/Bahia. Methods: the Grounded Theory methodological framework, Straussian strand, and the health networks theoretical framework were used. An in-depth interview was used, between October 2019 and October 2020, with 75 professionals from the Mobile Emergency Care Service, Emergency Care Units and reference hospital. Results: 5 categories and 24 subcategories point to shared goals among professionals, but they show elements of fragmentation of connections between services, such as the absence of a single language and conduct, obstacles to professional relationships and lack of knowledge of the other’s role. Conclusions: to improve network relationships and care of patients with stroke, there is a need for well-established connecting elements, such as flows and protocols, supported by continuing education actions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To construct and validate a specialized nursing terminology for the care of newborns with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC), based on the Betty Neuman Systems Model. Methods: Methodological study, carried out in a public maternity hospital, operationalized by the steps: extraction of terms from medical records of neonates using PICC; normalization; cross-mapping with the 2019/2020 version of ICNP®; organization in the Seven Axes; and content validation with nurses using content validity index and kappa coefficient. Results: 1,718 terms were extracted, and 372 relevant terms were normalized, with 265 constants and 107 non-constants. A total of 335 terms were validated, 246 of which were constant and 89 were not constant, which reached an agreement index and kappa ≥ 0.80. Conclusion: Relevant terms were identified, which aid newborns using central venous catheters; thus, a terminological subset will be contributed to information in nursing practice.

Published: August 2022

RESUMO Objetivo: conhecer as perceções dos estudantes do ensino superior sobre comportamentos de risco sexual e reprodutivo. Métodos: estudo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa, usando como referencial teórico-metodológico o Modelo de Promoção da Saúde de Pender. Foi realizada uma análise temática dos dados obtidos através dos grupos focais. Resultados: os participantes consideram que fatores como a comunicação com o parceiro sexual, a capacidade de negociação e uma atitude positiva face ao uso do preservativo poderão constituir benefícios para uma utilização consistente do preservativo. Já o embaraço para comprar o preservativo, a alegada redução do prazer e a estabilidade da relação amorosa são entendidos como barreiras a esse uso consistente. Considerações finais: foram identificadas estratégias a considerar na criação de programas de promoção da saúde sexual, nomeadamente a educação pelos pares para promover competências pessoais e sociais e a (re)organização dos serviços de saúde.

Method: Quasi-experimental study with 35 participants who received an intervention using virtual reality guided imagery with progressive muscle relaxation, applied three times a week for four weeks in a referral hospital for transplants in the south of Brazil. Data collected included: temperature, arterial pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, pain, and oxygen saturation, before and after each intervention. The comparisons were analyzed using Wilcoxon’s test. Results: There was a clinical significance between the mean measurements before and after for respiratory rate (p=0.00) in all stages, and for the variables Heart rate, Temperature, and Oxygen saturation from the 1st to the 12th measurements (p=0.05). Conclusion: The intervention was low cost, easy to apply, and showed positive effects, presenting itself as an option for patient-focused care.
Análise da transmissão de preços internacionais de suco de laranja para preços ao nível de produtor de laranja no Estado de São Paulo
Authors: MARGARIDO MARIO ANTONIO
Published: August 2022

RESUMO Neste estudo, a elasticidade de transmissão de preços entre as indústrias de suco de laranja concentrado congelado (SLCC) e o preço recebido pelos produtores de laranja no Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, foi analisada para o período de julho de 1980 a junho de 1992. A principal hipótese é que a elasticidade era menor que uma antes de 1986/1987 e igual a uma a partir dessa safra, devido ao uso de Contratos de Participação entre as indústrias e os agricultores. De acordo com esses contratos, o preço pago pelas indústrias brasileiras de SLCC ao produtor de laranja deve levar em consideração as variações internacionais de preço do suco de laranja. Essa hipótese foi estudada usando a média móvel integrada autoregressiva (ARIMA) e modelos de função de transferência.
