Published: November 2023

The polymerization and properties of environmentally friendly resin binders applicable in the surface-coating industry were studied.  Rubber seed oil (RSO) and RSO blended with 10% and 20% soybean oil (SBO)-based alkyd resins were synthesized by alcoholysis- polyesterification of the oil with glycerol and phthalic anhydride. Physicochemical properties (such as colour, specific gravity, acid value,  saponification value, iodine value, and drying schedule) of the alkyd resins were determined to establish the possible industrial potential  of the resins. The saponification value and iodine value ranged from 250.19 mgKOH/g to 279.55 mgKOH/g and 29.58 gI2/100g to 33.77  gI2/100g respectively. The drying schedule and chemical resistance of the blended alkyd resins to water, salts, acids, and alkalis were also  studied. The blended resins were found to be resistant to water, salt, and acid media, except for alkali media. The colour properties  were enhanced as the percentage of the blend increased. FT-IR spectroscopic study of the oil and alkyd resin samples further  corroborates our findings. Therefore, the potential of rubber seed oil blended with soybean oil to produce light-coloured alkyd resins  could be exploited as raw materials for the Nigerian surface coating industry.

Published: November 2023

In this paper, we share major lessons we have learned in our curriculum analysis explorations and provide suggestions for future mathematics curriculum research. Specifically, we will discuss the successes and challenges of using comparative methods and developing analytical frameworks. Using an old Chinese saying, follow the vine to get the melon (顺藤摸瓜), our journey starts with getting a holistic picture of standards and moves to identifying a specific topic in the textbooks. We first conducted a study to compare the geometry standards of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and the Chinese Compulsory Education Mathematics Curriculum Standards (CMCS); then we analyzed the presentation of a specific topic, triangle congruence, in multiple geometry textbooks. For each comparative study we conducted, developing the analytical framework that can be used to guide future investigations constituted a critical step in the research methodology. We have learned lessons from adapting the well-known van Hiele model, which was created for the development of geometric reasoning, into a lens for a detailed curriculum analysis. We have also learned lessons from elaborating on the key constructs from the “Mathematics Curriculum as Story” framework for coding and analysis. These lessons as well as our future directions serve as the primary focus of this paper.

Projetando o passado na contemporaneidade: a obra “Capitães da Areia” e os direitos das crianças e adolescentes no Brasil
Authors: Souza Fabiano José Alves de , Guimarães Maria Clara Nascimento Dias
Published: November 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar, a partir da mescla de aspectos fictícios e elementos reais, presentes na obra “Capitães da Areia” escrita por Jorge Amado, na década de 30, a ausência de direitos para crianças e adolescentes na Constituição vigente à época. Tendo como pano de fundo a abordagem da geografia humanista e um olhar antropológico, será tematizada a resistência desse segmento social frente ao abandono constitucional e parental. Em seguida, será delineado cronologicamente a constitucionalização dos direitos para proteção desses indivíduos, consolidados por meio da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil (1988) e do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente – Lei n. 8069 de 1990. A metodologia consistiu basicamente no levantamento, leitura e análise de fontes bibliográficas como artigos, dissertações e teses que versam sobre a temática abordada. Nas análises finais, depreendeu-se que a leitura de “Capitães da Areia”, revelou-se como um projetor do passado na contemporaneidade, desvelando os dilemas que ainda persistem acerca dos direitos das crianças e dos adolescentes, a despeito das garantias expressas na Constituição.

Published: November 2023

Nas Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APPs) ao longo dos cursos d'água, o objetivo primordial é garantir a qualidade e a proteção dos recursos hídricos. Entretanto, em Uruaçu, no norte de Goiás, especialmente nas proximidades do rio Passa-Três, enfrenta-se um dilema entre a utilização e a conservação dessas áreas, devido à negligência no cumprimento das leis ambientais. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma análise da conservação da APP marginal do rio Passa-Três, visando contribuir para a gestão do território e a preservação do manancial. Para isso, utilizou-se o software QGIS 3.22, respeitando os critérios do Código Florestal (Lei nº 12.561/2012) para a delimitação da APP, e a subsequente avaliação da qualidade ambiental mediante a conformidade da APP, baseando-se no mapeamento desenvolvido pelo Projeto MapBiomas, ano 2021. Os resultados mostraram que somente 12,66% da APP estão preservados, enquanto 87,34% estão em condições inadequadas, sendo principalmente ocupados por pastagens (36,41%), áreas com pouca vegetação nativa ou solo exposto (29,58%), construções (18,59%) e atividades agrícolas (2,75%). A falta de vegetação nas margens da APP aumenta o risco de erosão e acúmulo de sedimentos, prejudicando o fornecimento de água. Portanto, ações de restauração são essenciais para o planejamento e a gestão adequada dessas áreas destinadas à preservação.

A trajetória de Maria José Salles, a Zezé, como atleta se mistura com a história do handebol feminino na cidade de São Gonçalo a partir da década de 1980. Foram 27 anos como atleta pelo Clube Mauá, entidade esportiva sediada na cidade pertencente à região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, além de 17 anos de seleção brasileira e diversos títulos conquistados, entre eles o título Pan-Americano de 1999, conquista que levou o handebol feminino brasileiro aos jogos olímpicos pela primeira vez na história no ano de 2000.O objetivo deste estudo é investigar o processo de profissionalização, permanência e aposentadoria do handebol a partir da fala de uma ex-jogadora de alto rendimento dessa modalidade no Brasil. Foi realizada uma entrevista sistematizada pela metodologia da história oral. Após a transcrição da entrevista e análise, se verificou a constituição de três categorias que emergiram de seu discurso, a saber: a) inserção e profissionalização esportiva; b) a aposentadoria do esporte e os caminhos após se tornar uma ex-atleta; e c) o saudosismo dos áureos tempos do handebol na cidade de São Gonçalo. Como conclusão se identifica a necessidade de se criar estratégias de políticas públicas aliadas à iniciativa privada para que o handebol nessa cidade e nesse estado volte a ajudar a se desenvolver profissionalmente.
Lucha Libre, espectáculo, prensa y Estado en Costa Rica (1949-1973)
Authors: Urbina Gaitán Chester Rodolfo
Published: November 2023

La Lucha Libre se origina en Costa Rica como parte de las presentaciones que compañías y empresarios mexicanos hacían en la capital. La influencia de la Lucha Libre mexicana se hizo sentir en el uso de máscaras, el corte de la cabellera y las contiendas entre rudos y técnicos. El apoyo, interés y promoción de empresarios nacionales hizo que se propagar de San José hacia Puerto Limón, Tibás y Alajuela. El Estado sólo intervino para resguardar el orden en las peleas y reglamentar este deporte. Esto se debe a que los gobernantes que ascienden al poder después de 1948 promovieron el balompié para mantener el sometimiento a la jerarquía de clase y hacer buena imagen política. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los orígenes de la Lucha Libre en Costa Rica, la posición de la prensa comercial sobre este espectáculo, la promoción privada y el control social ejercido por el Estado para el período (1949-1973). La metodología implementada para efectuar este registro histórico etnográfico como investigación cualitativa se fundamenta en la revisión de la prensa comercial donde se recopila la información pertinente e imágenes que ilustren lo narrado.

Published: November 2023

Marang, known for its distinctive flavor and texture, is a tropical fruit hailing from Southeast Asia, featuring sweet, custard-like flesh and a fragrant scent. This study aimed to create Marang seed (Artocarpus odoratissimus) flour and cookies, establishing the optimal ingredient ratios to deliver a delightful flavor. Employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, this research enlisted consumer respondents and food professionals to assess sensory qualities using the DOST’s 9-point hedonic scale. Statistical analysis, including mean and standard deviation, was employed to evaluate cookie acceptability based on qualitative criteria encompassing appearance, aroma, taste, and texture. Phyto-chemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, naturally occurring substances with potential pharmacological effects, in Marang extract. Quaternary bases and amin e oxides, organic compounds featuring positively charged nitrogen atoms, were identified, alongside steroids with diverse biological functions. The grading system denoted the relative concentration of alkaloids. While 2-deoxysugars were detected, unsaturated steroids were absent. Flavonoids, known for their antioxidant properties, and saponins, foaming agents with potential health benefits, were also present. Tannins, recognized for their astringency, appeared with different colors indicating condensed and hydrolyzable tannins. Marang seed flour exhibited a chemical composition with 18.2% oil content, 16% moisture content, 10.7% crude protein content, and notable levels of manganese and copper at 31.8 ppm and 7.5 ppm, respectively, along with 161 ppm of phosphorus. The overall acceptability of the developed cookie was moderately liked, with a grand mean rating of 7.76. Taste held the greatest influence on overall acceptability, followed by texture, appearance, and aroma. This study recommends further investigation into the pharmacological effects and potential health benefits of Marang extract components, potentially leading to pharmaceutical or functional product development. Utilizing Marang seed flour in various food products can leverage its nutritional value and meet potential commercial demand. Improving and standardizing the Marang cookie recipe for uniform quality and flavor is advisable. The development of packaging and branding to highlight the unique qualities and health benefits of Marang cookies can cater to health-conscious consumers.

Introduction. In multidisciplinary pediatric hospitals in Russia, the prerequisite for the formation of principles of antimicrobial therapy management as a medical technology, implemented with the participation of a clinical pharmacologist became possible on the basis of updated clinical and pharmacological tools proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019.
Purpose. The project goal is to show the possibilities of control of antimicrobial therapy, as a medical technology in multidisciplinary children’s hospitals to improve adherence to domestic clinical recommendations in the actual clinical practice of implementing antibiotic therapy management programs in children on the profile of «Pediatrics».
Material and methods. The pilot scheme was implemented from 2019 to 2021 on the basis of the Morozov Children’s Clinical Hospital by methods of WHO AWaRe and points estimation of prevalence of antibiotic use according to WHO tool checklist in dynamics. Regulatory documents of medical organization (MO) were formed, which ensured transition from traditional to new approaches within 3 years from 2019 to 2021 to maintain clinical practice of antibiotic use based on clinical guidelines.
Results. A comparative study of clinical antibiotic use in children “before” the project in 2019 and “after” in 2021 showed a 2.7-fold decrease in antibiotic use by absolute DDDs from 65.99 in 2019 to 24.34 in 2021. DDDs per 100 p/d. By WHO AWaRe method for absolute values of antibiotics in the “Tolerance” category, a 2-fold decrease in consumption and a 5-fold decrease in consumption for absolute values of antibiotics in the “Control” category: in 2019. — 41.13% (abs. 27.55 PDT per 100 p/d) and in 2021. — 60.1% (abs. 4.64 PDT per 100 p/d). Consumption of “Reserve” category antibiotics by absolute values has not changed.
Limitations. This publication describes one medical institution in which this project was implemented, which somewhat reduces the value of the results obtained.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. Modern digital innovations and artificial intelligence technologies are being actively introduced in Medicine. Now chatbots are able to provide consulting services and make appointments for patients, make a diagnosis. Chatbots can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of symptom detection, assist in remote biomonitoring.
Goal. To study the possibilities of development and directions of implementation of chatbots based on artificial intelligence technologies in medicine and to assess the potential of their application.
Material and methods. The study is prospective, includes analysis of secondary information and conducting an expert interview on issues related to the development, application practice, and distribution of chatbots.
Results. The survey showed most experts already to see the need to introduce chatbots in Medicine. The main advantages are: getting an “instant” response and saving patients’ time. The disadvantages of using chatbots may be: “incorrect interpretation” of both user requests and interpretation by patients. Experts see risks in the “erroneous” diagnosis and in the “measure of responsibility”.
Limitations of research. The research materials are limited by the results of an expert survey conducted in 2023 and the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the respondents who met the requirements for experts.
Conclusions. Chatbots in the field of healthcare have already become a reality in consulting and providing the necessary medical information. Thanks to the development of information technologies, chatbots are able to process significant amounts of data received from patients, quickly and accurately find answers, provide information support, and establish a preliminary diagnosis. Such solutions can reduce the burden on medical professionals and increase patient satisfaction.

Published: November 2023

Introduction. The policy and practice of the Russian healthcare system in the area of person-centered care aims to involve the patient in the treatment process with an individual approach to their needs and expectations.
The quality of medical care is increasingly evaluated through the perception of the patient, his/her satisfaction. In this regard, the design of person-centered medicine is multi-dimensional, forming a partnership relationship between the parties involved — doctor, patient, health care provider — in making joint decisions.
The purpose of the study. Assessment of general practice (GP) through individual patient preferences
in a multidimensional construct of satisfaction with the quality of care.
Material and methods. The international EUROPEP questionnaire was used. Statistical processing of the study materials was performed using Statistica 10 and SAS JMP 11.
Results. Statistically significant differences in respondents’ satisfaction depending on the age and gender
(p < 0.0001) were revealed. The predominance of a positive opinion on the totality of all the analyzed criteria of satisfaction among female respondents is shown. At the same time male respondents gave positive estimation of quality of general medical practice only in such two groups of observation as in age category of 36–45 years old — 53.09 % and 66.67 % of persons older than 75 years old.
Research limitations. The research is limited to the survey of a certain number of patients of medical institutions in Moscow to assess the GP in terms of satisfaction with the quality of medical care provided.
Conclusion. New data have been obtained on different respondents’ perceptions of the quality of standardized medical care provided by GPs, and the assessment of satisfaction with its quality depending on the age and gender of the adult population. The satisfaction of male respondents with the quality of medical care was shown to be lower in all age groups except 53.09% (36–45 years) and 66.67% (over 75 years). Female respondents expressed satisfaction on the aggregate of all opinion-forming factors.

The results of the study will allow healthcare managersorganizers to systematically monitor stressful working conditions in order to prevent and level them, as well as to implement the prevention of low-adaptive forms and types of guilt in medical workers to maintain and strengthen their professional health.
Mortality from circulatory diseases as a reflection of demographic aging
Authors: Sabgayda Tamara P. , Evdokushkina Galina N. , Ivanova Alla E.
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Even a decade ago, an increase in mortality from circulatory diseases (CVD) in Russia until 2050 was predicted, in parallel with an increase in number of people older than working age. The forecast did not materialize.
The purpose is to identify the relationship between the level and structure of mortality from CVD and the proportion of elderly people.
Materials and methods. Official Rosstat data on mortality in Moscow and the Russian Federation for period 1975–2019 were used. There was made a comparison of age patterns of mortality from CVD at the beginning and end of the analysed period in the country and in the capital separately for men and women. For simplicity of calculations, the trend in the gain in mortality with increasing age was approximated by an exponential function in the Microsoft Excel Software.
Results. Since 2003 to 2019 in the Russian Federation, mortality from CVD was found to decline among men and women by 2.0 and 2.2 times. In Moscow, with a 2.3- and 2.2-fold decrease in mortality from CVD. During this period losses fell as a result of premature death from CVD by 1.8 and 1.9 times in men and women, as well as in Moscow.
Limitations. The quality of analysed data is limited by quality of coding of the causes of death in different regions and by accuracy of estimate of age structure of the population in period between population censuses.
Conclusions. Demographic aging does not lead to an increase in the contribution of CVD to the mortality of the population. The decrease in mortality from CVD significantly contributes to the growth of life expectancy and is accompanied by an increase in the proportion of elderly people. Only during periods of increased mortality, the contribution of CVD to it is directly proportional to proportion of elderly people. Age structure of mortality from CVD indicates the need to strengthen measures to prevent mortality.
Prominent physician and manager of health care in the Crimea (on the 120th anniversary of the death of N.N. Betling)
Authors: Zvereva Ekaterina E. , Kutia Sergey A.
Published: November 2023

The year 2022 marks the 120th anniversary of the death of Nikolai Nikolaevich Betling, one of the most prominent representatives of pre-revolutionary medicine in the Taurida Gubernia. For more than thirty years he was the head of the Taurida Gubernatorial Zemstvo Hospital, which he took over in a very difficult and crucial period — soon after it was transferred from the Prikaz Public Charity to the Taurida Gubernatorial Zemstvo. It was his efforts that laid the foundation for the development of not only the practical medicine of the region, but also the surgical research center of the Gubernia. For his outstanding contribution to medicine, Betling was awarded not only several orders, but also the title of honorary nobility, and after his death a street in Simferopol was named in his honour. However, over a century later, Betling’s legacy has been forgotten. Today Betling’s name is known only to some local historians and is practically not mentioned in scientific publications. The authors of the article analyzed pre-revolutionary literature sources and searched among archival documents, plans and photographs. Today, in the main building of the former hospital is a Department of Human Anatomy of Institute “Medical Academy named after S.I. Georgievsky”, where medical students of junior courses are trained. Resurrecting the memory of such figures of Medicine as Betling is a fertile ground for creating a sense of pride in the national history of Medicine among aspiring physicians.

Authors: Nguyen Binh
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of leadership styles on employee motivation and job satisfaction in multinational corporations in Vietnam

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library

Findings: The results showed that transformational leadership was the most preferred and effective style for enhancing employee motivation and job satisfaction, followed by democratic leadership. Autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles were found to have negative effects on employee outcomes. The study also revealed that cultural differences, organizational climate, and individual factors influenced the perception and preference of leadership styles among employees and managers. The study concluded that MNCs in Vietnam should adopt a flexible and adaptive leadership approach that matches the needs and expectations of their diverse workforce.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Transformational Leadership Theory, Expectancy Theory and Social Exchange Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of leadership styles on employee motivation and job satisfaction in multinational corporations in Vietnam. Multinational corporations operating in Vietnam should benefit from the research findings to tailor their leadership training programs.  Policymakers can make informed decisions about regulations that promote employee well-being, productivity, and retention in multinational corporations.

A DISSOLUÇÃO COMPULSÓRIA DA PRIMEIRA CONSTITUINTE BRASILEIRA DE 1823: A LEITURA “SAQUAREMA”
Authors: Medeiros Santos Yasmin , Dantas de Medeiros Orione
Published: November 2023

Há exatos 200 anos, em 12 de novembro de 1823, se deu a dissolução da primeira Constituinte do Brasil. Instalada em 3 de maio de 1823, a Constituinte de 1823 expôs as disputas políticas entre as diferentes formas de se conceber o futuro do Brasil. Neste ano de 2023, em que se comemora o bicentenário da primeira Constituinte do Brasil, essa data merece ser lembrada. O artigo tem como objetivo principal celebrar o bicentenário da Constituinte de 1823 e revisar a literatura pertinente, fazendo uma leitura “saquarema” dos episódios que levaram a dissolução da Assembleia. Examina três momentos críticos: o primeiro ocorreu antes da instalação da Constituinte, no episódio conhecido por “juramento prévio”, ocorrido no dia 12 de outubro de 1822; o segundo inicia-se com a instalação da Constituinte, em 3 de maio de 1823, até a queda, em meados de julho, do gabinete Andrada; por último, o terceiro momento começa com a apresentação do projeto da Constituição e vai até a dissolução da Assembleia, em 12 de novembro. O método empregado consiste na revisão narrativa. Conclui-se que esses momentos de crise estavam ligados direta ou indiretamente ao modo de conceber o Brasil, principalmente à luta pelas conquistas liberais e da limitação do poder, como o direito absoluto de veto, pelo qual o imperador poderia anular ou mudar qualquer artigo da nova Constituição.
Almanya'nın Ortadoğu'ya Yönelik Nüfuz ve Kültür Politikaları: 1934-45 Dönemine İlişkin Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: KODAL Tahir
Published: November 2023

Hitler'in 1934’te tam anlamıyla iktidara gelmesinden sonra, Almanya bir yaşam alanı (Lebensraum) yaratma ve yeniden bir Dünya Gücü (Weltmacht) olma politikasına geri dönmüştür. Bu politikalar çerçevesinde Almanya'nın kuruluşundan bu yana izlediği “doğuya doğru” politikası bağlamında bir kez daha dünya iletişiminde hayati öneme sahip stratejik bir bağlantı noktası olan Ortadoğu'ya yönelmiştir. Bu yönelimin en önemli nedeni, Adolf Hitler'in Almanya'nın Ortadoğu'da İngiltere ve Fransa'ya kıyasla ekonomik ve siyasi etki açısından çok geride olduğunu fark etmesidir. Dolayısıyla Hitler Hükümeti bu gerekliliği ve gerekliliği takdir etmiş, Almanya için de bir nüfuz bölgesi elde etmek için çalışmaya karar vermiştir. B bağlamda, zamanın gereklerine uygun bir şekilde nüfuz bölgesi Almanya’nın nüfuz bölgesi olarak; Avrupa'nın doğu ve güneydoğusu, Ön Asya ve Mısır olarak kararlaştırılmıştır. Almanya'nın Ortadoğu'ya yönelik nüfuz politikasında ekonomik propaganda ve araçların yetersiz kalacağının farkında olarak, kültürel propaganda ve kültürel genişleme ile birlikte ekonomik genişleme faaliyetleri yürütmesi gerektiği fark edilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada; Hitlerin iktidara gelmesinden sonra Almanya’nın II. Dünya Savaşı öncesinde Orta Doğu’ya yönelik “kültür politikası” konu edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Almanya’nın Ortadoğu ülkesi olarak kabul etmiş olduğu Türkiye, Mısır’a karşı takip edilmesi gereken kültür politikası ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu yapılırken, Alman bilim insanlarınca hazırlanılan ve Başbakanlık Cumhuriyet Arşivi’nde yer alan raporlar temel alınmıştır. Dr. Kurt Koehler (Deipzig), Dr. Oluf Kürkkmann (Jane) ve Dr. Wilhelm Eilers (Berlin) tarafından hazırlanılan raporlara göre Almanya’nın Türkiye’ye, Mısır’a yönelik kültür politikası açıklığa kavuşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda; konunun daha iyi anlaşılması için ilk olarak, Almanya’nın Orta Doğu’da takip etmek istediği “nüfuz mıntıkaları politikası” raporlar temel alınarak ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmanın asıl kısmında; “Avrupaî Şarkın kapısı” olarak görülen Türkiye’ye karşı takip edilen kültür politikası üzerinde durulmuştur. Daha sonra ise “Müslüman Şark’a açılan kapı” şeklinde ifade edilen Mısır’a karşı yürütülen kültür politikası açıklığa kavuşturulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında ise varılan sonuçlara, değerlendirmelere, yorumlara yer verilmiş, bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
