A comunidade surda brasileira conquistou direitos na área da educação e, nosúltimos anos, com o aumento da matrícula de surdos em instituições de ensino, há necessidade de desenvolver novos sinais em LIBRAS (Língua Brasileira de Sinais) para termos técnicos específicos de cursos em diversas áreas do conhecimento. Este trabalho visa a elaboração de um glossário computacional de sinais em LIBRAS com as principais palavras reservadas do Lego Mindstorms NXT como estímulo ao raciocínio lógico em pessoas surdas. O trabalho realizou-se em uma Escola de Ensino Médio Bilíngue com 4 alunos entre 14 e 15 anos de idade. Atividades de programação voltadas ao movimento veicular e educação no trânsito foram realizadas. Como forma de validação da proposta, utilizou-se categorias de avaliação pedagógica e análise de conteúdo. Este kit de robótica educacional combinado com o glossário demonstrou a capacidade de desenvolver raciocínio lógico que seria dificultado pela barreira linguística. Conclui-se que os sinais desenvolvidos para o glossário permitem que os surdos acessem termos complexos de computação, proporcionando as mesmas possibilidades de desenvolvimento educacional de seus colegas ouvintes.

Authors: Eduarda Contri Natal Maria , Anghinoni Barbosa Brenda , Cardoso Hernandes Júlia , De Sousa Much Bruno , Bigolin Marcio , José Ribeiro da Silva Sandro , Balestro Silva Carla , Filipe Batista de Carvalho Leonardo
Published: August 2019

O presente trabalho propõe um ambiente gamificado, nomeado Tri-Logic,desenvolvido com o objetivo de servir de apoio ao ensino e aprendizagem na disciplina de lógica de programação. A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, identificou-se que algumas das dificuldades encontradas no ensino e aprendizagem de habilidades de programação são as diversidades de ritmos dos alunos e sua falta de motivação. Uma das alternativas para enfrentar este problema é a utilização de técnicas da gamificação como estratégia, utilizando dinâmicas e mecânicas de jogos para motivar ações que não são, necessariamente, relacionadas a jogos. O ambiente desenvolvido, que vem sendo testado com os alunos do primeiro ano do curso técnico em Desenvolvimento de Sistemas integrado ao ensino médio, permitiu identificar resultados promissores, nos quais observa-se que a gamificação está diretamente ligada ao aumento da motivação dos alunos.

Financial shenanigans: The importance of anti-fraud education
Authors: Jamieson Diane , Awolowo Ifedapo Francis , Garrow Nigel , Winfield Joanne , Bhaiyat Firoz
Published: August 2019

Fraud, financial distress and liquidation, audit failures, hubris and narcissism, are all genuine and serious issues in today’s business environment. Challenges exist for organisations in many different guises as they strive to achieve their goals. This often results in a balancing act between the right course of action and action which could be seen to be ethically immoral or even illegal. Recently many organisations have encountered financial distress for different reasons, at a high cost to employees, pensioners, and other stakeholders. How can organisations ensure that legal and ethical decisions and actions are taken? Through a review of literature, recent case studies, and the incidence of relevant courses in universities, this paper examines the importance of education in the fight against corporate fraud. Evidence indicates that employees can be effective corporate watchdogs in the fight against financial deception and unethical decisions; increasing the number of people in a firm with enhanced fraud awareness and knowledge through education should, therefore, be one of the essential requirements for our future business managers and leaders. We indicate why anti-fraud education is important in the fight against financial shenanigans, and why it should be more widely adopted for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Authors:   Southern Institute of Management, Sivkov Sergey Mikhailovich , Sivkov Mikhail Sergeevich ,   Krasnodar State Institute of Culture
Published: August 2019

The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of the laws and regulations on monument protection in the North Caucasus in the pre-Soviet period. The development of relevant legislation was closely related to the increased number of finds of cultural and historical value. The research reviewed the most significant pre-revolutionary regulations which determined the basic principles of state and local control over the preservation of historical heritage. It was concluded that most laws had a narrow focus and failed to consider the regional aspects. This made it difficult to protect the monuments. However, imperfect legislation of that time prompted many regional public figures to act. Thanks to them, monument protection activities had continuously developed. Having analyzed the pre-revolutionary laws and regulations, the authors concluded that the authorities followed the recommendations of public associations while making them.

The paper discusses the recruitment of municipal employees into local government and their career advancement by a case study of a district admin-istration in a city district of Penza region. Focus group results help reveal several aspects of local government recruitment. The study involved 20 district officials. The authors reveal that previous government-related employment and sup-port from the head or staff of the organization (protégé-based employment) are the most significant factors that affect local gov-ernment recruitment in Penza region. The motives to be employed and work as municipal officials are considered. A steady income and the prestige of the profession are the most important factors for them. Respondents highlighted the cases of unfair career development of several employees because of cronyism. The paper notes that such practices distort social elevators and entail professional and career deviations in local government. Recom-mendations are made to enhance the activities of the authority under review. In particular, it is pro-posed to monitor personnel policy improvements, transform HR departments, introduce a merit-based recruitment drive, and modernize the educational system of municipal employees.

The study examines a form of improving learning efficiency that is e-textbook. Because of the low interest of self-taught students, non-standard teach-ing methods should be used or new solutions should be incorporated into this process. E-textbook with illustrative and multimedia materials (animation tools) is a way to draw students’ atten-tion to self-education. The design items of such a textbook are considered. The study analyzes the possibility of using a mobile version of e-textbook and demonstrates its advantages and disadvantages. Design students have been surveyed about the role of e-textbook in inde-pendent and individual learning when studying Interior Design Project. Based on the data obtained, it is concluded that students use elearning re-sources to adapt and study a new type of activity. Therefore, the development of e-textbooks should become widespread in the modern edu-cational process, and they should be actively used by teachers and students.

Published: August 2019

α-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (Ac-Hiv) and α-acetyloxyisovaleric acid (Ac-Hiv) have been successfully synthesized through a diazotisation of amino acid using sodium nitrite with the catalyst of sulfuric acid and acetic acid, respectively. In the synthesis of Hiv, Zubia et al. (2005) mentioned that 3 equivalents of sodium nitrite for the reaction gave the hydroxy acid with a good yield. However, Cohen-Arazi et al. (2008) described that 6 equivalents of sodium nitrite resulted the highest yield. In present study, a variation of equivalents of sodium nitrite (3, 4, 5, 6 eq.) were trialed for the same method of synthesis. Through several experiments, we found that 6 equivalents of sodium nitrite were the best portion among all. This finding was applied into the synthesis of protected Hiv (Ac-Hiv) that was previously reported by Maharani et al. (2017) giving 63% yield when 3 equivalent of sodium nitrite was employed. By increasing the equivalent of sodium nitrite into 6 equivalents, the Ac-Hiv can be synthesized with an improved yield (71%).

Folic acid applied at 0.25 mg/l in combination with 0.5 mg/l BA exhibited the highest shoot multiplication percentage (90%) (4 weeks). GSH at 10 ?M with 10.7 ?M NAA + 4.92 ?M IBA gave the greatest root length (13.68 mm), at 25 ?M caused a 3-fold increase in rooting (90%) and 250 ?M GSH raised by 20% shoot multiplication (80%). An 89% final survival rate of rooted microplants to ex vitro unheated greenhouse conditions was recorded within 8 weeks period during mid-late spring. Thus, the acclimatization and hardening process was successfully completed.

The 3-year experiment was concerned with the response of spring forms of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. subsp. aestivum), durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) and spelt wheat (Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta L. em. Thell.) to the foliar application of a plant growth stimulant (extract from marine algae Ecklonia maxima), with the commercial name of Kelpak SL (GS), as compared to control treatment (C). The following parameters were analysed: yield of grain, yield components (number of ears, weight of 1000 kernels, number and weight of kernels per ear) and physical indicators of grain quality (test weight, uniformity and vitreosity of grain). The study showed that the level of yielding and the yield components were related primarily with the wheat genotype, but they depended also on the agro-climatic conditions and on the algae extract and control experimental treatments. The application of algae extract, compared to the control, caused a significant increase in the yields of the spring wheat species under study, on average by 7.0%. Canopy spraying with algae extract had a favourable effect on the number of ears, on he number and weight of kernels per ear, but it had no effect on the weight of 1000 kernels. The grain quality of durum wheat, spelt wheat and common wheat was affected more strongly by the weather conditions in the successive years of the study and by the genotype than by the foliar application of algae extract. The spelt genotypes were characterised by lower yields and lower grain quality than common wheat and the durum wheat genotypes.

The paper analyses the presence of invasive alien species and rare taxons among crop weeds in the Ułęż commune. The study is based on phytosociological relevés taken according to the Braun-Blanquet method. In total, 99 phytosociological relevés were taken. The research was conducted in 2016 and 2017. Ten rare regional and cross-regional species were found among weeds in cultivated crops. These were: Agrostemma githago, Arnoseris minima, Avena strigosa, Chenopodium polyspermum, Consolida regalis, Veronica opaca, Veronica polita, Veronica agrestis, Bromus secalinus, and Centaurea cyanus. Some of the most common species in that area included Centaurea cyanus and Bromus secalinus, while Avena strigosa also belonged to frequent components of the local flora. Other species were recorded rarely or very rarely. Additionally, in the crops, there was a group of 16 invasive alien species. Setaria pumila had the largest vegetal cover and the largest number of positions. There were some more frequently recorded species like Echinochloa crus-galli, Galinsoga parviflora and Conyza canadensis, with Avena fatua being quite common as well. Other species quite often found were: Amaranthus retroflexus, Galinsoga ciliata, Veronica persica and Oxalis fontana. However, species such as Setaria viridis, Solidago canadensis, Bidens frondosa, Epilobium ciliatum, Alopecurus myosuroides, Bromus sterilis and Parthenocissus inserta were rarely or very rarely found in the crops.

Mandevilla sanderi is an important commercial ornamental pot plant. Traditional vegetative propagation is limited due to the low rate, therefore there is a need to develop an alternative, more efficient method. There is an interest in development of micropropagation technology for the species, as it allows to obtain a lot of offsprings in a relatively short time. The aim of the present work was to estimate an influence of explants type and position on regeneration of Mandevilla sanderi in tissue culture. Four different types of explants (leafy shoot tips, decapitated leafy shoot tips, defoliated shoot tips, decapitated and defoliated shoot tips) were used in the experiment, which were placed on the media vertically, while defoliated shoot tips were placed horizontally or vertically upside down. The explants were cultivated on a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg·dm–3 benzyladenine (BA) and 0.5 mg·dm–3 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). It was noted that both explants orientation and positioning, influenced the multiplication rate. Defoliated shoot tips placed horizontally were characterized by higher multiplication rate (6.8) in comparison to upside down vertical positioning (3.2). It was also observed that removal of shoot apex improved axillary branching, while defoliation of shoots placed in a normal position reduced multiplication rate.
Gametophytic self-incompatibility in Rosaceae fruit trees
Authors: Ma Chunhui , Qu Haiyong
Published: August 2019

Rosaceae fruit trees are characterized by gametophytic self-incompatibility, with their production typically requiring artificial pollination or pollination tree is required in production. Both of these solutions cause reductions in production efficiency, and self-incompatibility has become a major issue in agricultural biology, and as such, has been extensively studied. In this review, we discuss the relationship between S-RNase content in the style and self-incompatibility, and the role of the SLF gene in stamen-determining factor. Considering mutations in self-compatibility-related genes and self-compatibility in polyploid fruit trees, we discuss the potential mechanisms of self-incompatibility. Based on a preliminary study of the role of pollen tube Ca2+ gradients in self-incompatibility in Pyrus, we propose a new mechanistic model of self-incompatibility taking into account the effect of Ca2+. We also discuss the potential for hormone regulation to be used to control self-incompatibility in Rosaceae fruit trees.

Iris species have great economic importance for their use in ornamental and pharmaceutical industry. Flora of Turkey reports about 43 local taxons of which 16 are endemic. Iris suaveolens Boiss. et Reuter is an endemic species with high seed dormancy and has high tolerance to cold and drought. This study focused on seed dormancy break of I. suaveolens under in vitro conditions. In the first experiment, the seeds were given stratification treatment on MS medium containing different concentrations of BAP with or without NAA. The 2nd experiment reports effects of alternative combinations of cold (at 4°C, 24 h dark) – warm (16 h light photoperiod) conditions on medium containing different concentrations of plant growth regulators on agar solidified MS medium. Both experiments showed about 8.33% seed germination against 64.5% seed viability as confirmed by tetrazolium test. All germinating seeds were abnormal and very weak. In the third experiment, 10 minutes acid scarified seeds cultured at 24°C in 16 h light photo period on MS medium achieved 60.0% germination. Similar treatment under cold + dark condition was inhibitory and failed to show identical results. This underlines the importance of acid scarification, photoperiod and warm treatments of I. suaveolens seeds to break seed dormancy. All germinated seeds showed normal growth and development under field conditions.
