Authors: Rajewska de Mezer Joanna
Published: December 2020

The influence of parents, families on the development of the individual and social identity of their child is extremely important. In the process of primary socialization, child acquires patterns of social roles, which modifying plays in its adulthood. Dysfunctional family is not able to perform its functions (socialization, educational, protective) properly, what can be harmful for children. In order to prevent child from the negative effects of dysfunction, family should be covered with a professional help. This assistance should base on the principle of subsidiarity and stimulates family to cooperation and activity in the exit of a difficult situation. Support in this area provide social assistance entities, using social work and legal advice. This form of support can equip the beneficiary professional knowledge, allow him to realize the cause of the problem. It has also educational character.

Metoda Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) w pracy terapeutycznej z rodzicami dzieci z grupy ryzyka rozwojowego
Authors: Kopeć Danuta , Kubiak Hanna
Published: December 2020

Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) is a therapeutic intervention based on video-feedback which aims to support positive parenting and sensitive parental discipline. It is a part of evidence-based therapeutic interventions, which means that the effectiveness of the training has been confirmedin rigorously planned and carried out studies of both the general population and various clinical groups. The theoretical framework for VIPP-SD is attachment theory and coercion theory. The basic principle of intervention is referring to family resources in the therapeutic work, primarily in situations in which the correct course of a child’s development can be disturbed by both biological and environmental factors. The article presents the aspects of the application of VIPP-SD in the following clinical groups: families with children at risk of improper development, families in which the functioning of parents creates the development risk for children, and the family environment as a risk factor for children’s development.

Poczucie własnej skuteczności jako czynnik różnicujący samodzielne uczenie się studentów
Authors: Violetta Rodek Violetta Rodek
Published: December 2020

The article presents empirical and diagnostic research aiming to recognise how a generalised feeling of self-efficacy differentiates students’ independent learning. In the research, Generalized Self – Efficacy Scale (GSES) was applied (according to R. Schwarzer, M. Jeruzalem, in the Polish adaptation by Z. Juczyński) as well as a free-form interview, partially categorised. The study group was composed of 215 intentionally selected pedagogy students, following full-time and part-time courses. The variable adopted in the research differentiates the view of students’ independent learning, mainly in terms of the degree of involvement in their own learning. A high level of self-efficacy seems to be related to regularity, persistence in learning, consistency, the ability to focus on longer periods of learning, as well as the ability to plan and organize one’s own learning process. A generalized sense of self-efficacy, however, is not critical to how we understand the concept of learning, assigning value to it, and the used learning techniques.

A FORÇA DO CARGO: REELEIÇÃO DE CHEFES DO EXECUTIVO SUBNACIONAL NO BRASIL E NO URUGUAI (2000-2016)
Authors: Barreto Alvaro Augusto de Borba
Published: December 2020

O artigo compara eleições para prefeito nas 26 capitais estaduais brasileiras e para intendentes departamentais uruguaios, no período 2000-2016. Analisa o resultado que candidatos e partidos obtêm nessas eleições, tendo como foco principal aquele alcançado pelo incumbent. Observa os pleitos em que o incumbent não se faz presente, por impossibilidade legal ou por que não se reapresenta, bem como aqueles em que, tendo concorrido, confronta um antecessor e/ou quem jamais foi titular do cargo. O resultado mostra que em ambos os países predomina o incumbent, mas que ele é proporcionalmente mais vitorioso no Brasil do que no Uruguai. A razão para essas diferenças reside na força do titular do cargo no Brasil frente ao partido, o que não se verifica no Uruguai, em que ambos são fortes, mas o partido é mais determinante para a vitória.

Political elites of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia during 1990‒2019: the main results of transformation
Authors:   Institute of Europe, Russian Academy of Sciences, Smirnov Vadim
Published: December 2020

The article examines the transformation of power groups in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia during the period 1990‒2019: from the proclamation of independence of the Baltic states and the dismantling of the previous ruling institutions to the formation of a new political order by the elites. The objective is to identify the main factors of transformation of the channels and mechanisms for the recruiting of power groups and to determine the general and specific features of this process, to correlate them with the key decisions of the elites that have determined political priorities of the Baltic states. In order to quantitatively analyze changes in the composition of the elites, data from open sources on the background of 886 political figures in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were assessed. Up to 53% of evaluated cases are representatives of parliaments, 40% are members of governments, 7% are presidents and their advisers, meanwhile, 252 cases are from Lithuania, 271 ‒ from Estonia and 363 ‒ from Latvia (the greater number of registered parliamentary electoral cycles – 9- were registered in Latvia, along with 7 in Lithuania and 8 in Estonia). The analysis is based on parliamentary electoral cycles due to the parliaments decisive role in the political systems of the Baltic countries in accordance with the Constitution. The transformation of the power groups in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia took place in a similar political and historical context. However, it is not correct to talk about a single “Baltic elite” as a community of power groups of the three countries consolidated at the interstate level. The general features of the transformation of power groups in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia along with the peculiarities inherent in each country are revealed. Thus, among the elite of Estonia there are the fewest number of representatives of the ex-nomenklatura, Latvia is the leader in the number of proteges of business in power, Lithuania ranked first in terms of the number of politicians with foreign origins. Today, the Baltic states elites more often act like competitors than like-minded people, although they retain elements of political coordination, in particular, dealing with Russia.
Humanitarian Tools of EU External Policy: The Case of Eastern Partnership
Authors:   State Academic University for Humanities., Sutyrin Vyacheslav
Published: December 2020

The article deals with recent developments in the EU foreign policy towards neighbouring countries. The EU humanitarian influence mechanisms within the framework of European Neighbourhood Policy, Eastern Partnership program, along with the case of Belarus are explored. The article outlines that the European Union creates instruments of external influence through fostering humanitarian infrastructure in the periphery countries. As a result, the official government of a targeted country is not only unable to participate in the shaping of “European norms and rules”, but also ceases to be the single Brussel‟s counterpart. NGOs supported by the EU involve in to the dialogue between Brussels and the official government on behalf of the civil society. The latter contributes to the asymmetrical “teacher-apprentice” relationship between the EU and the bordering countries. Particular humanitarian instruments and cases exercised by the EU are explored. The interconnections between economic, political, and humanitarian tools in EU foreign policy are outlined. It is concluded that the “soft power” concept fails to explain comprehensively the EU foreign policy in the humanitarian sphere. Brussels seeks to exert systemic influence upon the humanitarian sphere of the periphery countries to bolster its political and economic position.
Functional Differentiation of Mouse Visual Cortical Areas Depends upon Early Binocular Experience
Authors: Salinas Kirstie J. , Huh Carey Y. L. , Zeitoun Jack H. , Gandhi Sunil P.
Published: December 2020

The mammalian visual cortex contains multiple retinotopically defined areas that process distinct features of the visual scene. Little is known about what guides the functional differentiation of visual cortical areas during development. Recent studies in mice have revealed that visual input from the two eyes provides spatiotemporally distinct signals to primary visual cortex (V1), such that contralateral eye-dominated V1 neurons respond to higher spatial frequencies than ipsilateral eye-dominated neurons. To test whether binocular visual input drives the differentiation of visual cortical areas, we used two-photon calcium imaging to characterize the effects of juvenile monocular deprivation (MD) on the responses of neurons in V1 and two higher visual areas, LM (lateromedial) and PM (posteromedial). In adult mice of either sex, we find that MD prevents the emergence of distinct spatiotemporal tuning in V1, LM, and PM. We also find that, within each of these areas, MD reorganizes the distinct spatiotemporal tuning properties driven by the two eyes. Moreover, we find a relationship between speed tuning and ocular dominance in all three areas that MD preferentially disrupts in V1, but not in LM or PM. Together, these results reveal that balanced binocular vision during development is essential for driving the functional differentiation of visual cortical areas. The higher visual areas of mouse visual cortex may provide a useful platform for investigating the experience-dependent mechanisms that set up the specialized processing within neocortical areas during postnatal development.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTLittle is known about the factors guiding the emergence of functionally distinct areas in the brain. Usingin vivoCa2+imaging, we recorded visually evoked activity from cells in V1 and higher visual areas LM (lateromedial) and PM (posteromedial) of mice. Neurons in these areas normally display distinct spatiotemporal tuning properties. We found that depriving one eye of normal input during development prevents the functional differentiation of visual areas. Deprivation did not disrupt the degree of speed tuning, a property thought to emerge in higher visual areas. Thus, some properties of visual cortical neurons are shaped by binocular experience, while others are resistant. Our study uncovers the fundamental role of binocular experience in the formation of distinct areas in visual cortex.

Published: December 2020

This paper is aimed to investigate the crushing response of single square honeycomb panels under quasi-static compression loading. Two types of materials are used in this study, which refers to 100 % polylactic acid (PLA) and 70 % PLA filled 30 % carbon fibre (PLA/CF). Single honeycomb panels were fabricated through additive manufacturing technique, and assembled using slotting technique. The effect of boundary factor on the single square honeycomb panels have been studied, which refers to none, single-side, double-side boundary conditions. The effect of material properties on the crushing response has also involved. For the tensile test, it was concluded that the PLA/CF specimen offered the higher young modulus with 428.75 MPa than 360.76 MPa of PLA specimen. For the quasi-static compression test, the compressive modulus and strength of the single honeycomb sandwich panel showed 489.69 MPa and 18.32 MPa with boundary type 1, which provided the highest value compared to other two boundary condition types. Moreover, the square honeycomb sandwich panels with PLA/CF material and type 3 boundary condition offered the better crushing performance on energy absorption (EA) with 66.42 kJ and specific energy absorption (SEA) with 2282.47 kJ/kg. In addition, the crushing behaviour and failure mode were also involved and discussed in this study.

Authors: Osman Edynoor , Abd. Rashid Mohd Warikh , Abd Manaf Mohd Edeerozey , Moriga Toshihiro , Kamarudin Hazlinda
Published: December 2020

This study has been carried out to evaluate hygrothermal effect onto kenaf fiber reinforced aluminium laminates (KeRALL) and kenaf fibre reinforce composite (KFRC) as compared to reference sample, pristine (without hygrothermal). Samples were fabricated by warm compression method and successfully immersed at 30, 60 and 80°C in water bath for 5 days. As a result, KeRALL at 30°C shows the lowest water absorption rate compared to those immersed at 60 and 80°C. Both KeRALL and KFRC, at temperature 80°C showed the fastest water absorption and the earliest to reach saturation state, followed by temperature of 60°C and 30°C. Mechanical properties which is flexural and impact shows the decremented trends at temperature of 30°C, 60°C and 80°C. At 30 °C, 7 % show a decrement of interlaminar shear stress (ILSS), followed by 66 % at 60°C and 54 % at 80°C. The decrease is associated with fibre pull out, matrix fracture and delamination as the result of the hygrothermal influence as manifested by the fractographic images. From the DMA results, storage modulus as well as loss modulus of KeRALL was decreased with the increased in temperature.  It can be concluded that hygrothermal gives the significant effect on the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the KeRALL. Therefore, the newly developed KeRALL composite opens a greater commercial potential for kenaf fibre in structural engineering applications. The finding also suggests that KeRALL definitely has high potential as a new sustainable FML composite and can be considered as a promising candidate for future industrial applications.

Published: December 2020

Background. The optimal treatment of acute Achilles tendon ruptures is still under debate. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate outcomes of open repair comparing with percutaneous procedure for Achilles tendon ruptures. Methods. 100 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were randomized in two groups: open “crown” type (group A) and percutaneous Bunnell type repair (group B). Absorbable suture was used in both groups. 87 patients were available for the mean follow up of 6 months. Results. No statistically significant difference was observed between groups in ATRS (Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score), leg circumference, single heel rise, Achilles resting angle, time back to work and sports and overall patient satisfaction. Percutaneous technique was much faster. Overall 13 complications occurred in both groups (5 and 8 respectively). No deep infection occurred, no revisions were needed. Conclusions. Both techniques showed to be effective and safe when using absorbable suture material with a high patient satisfaction and a low complication rate, but percutaneous repair was significantly faster.

Background / Objective. In our clinical study we have compared the results of intraoperative and postoperative period in patients with inguinal hernia treated operatively with Lichtenstein technique, where one of three different polypropylene meshes has been applied: polypropylene monofilament light mesh, polypropylene monofilament heavy mesh and self gripping polypropylene mesh. Follow up period have been one year. Methods. This study represents randomized, retrospective-prospective, comparative clinical study where 243 patients have been divided into three groups depends of prosthetic mesh that was applied with Lichtenstein technique. We have evaluated the connection between types of used mesh with some of followed parameters: postoperative pain intensity, postoperative patient mobilization, postoperative surgical site occurrences, duration of hospitalization, chronic pain, filling of foreign body in inguinal area and development of recurrences. Results. Patients with applied self gripping polypropylene mesh have significantly lowest pain, lowest hospital stay and lowest duration of surgical procedure than other two groups of patients. In term of chronic pain, only statistically significance we confirmed between the groups of heavy monofilament mesh and self griping polypropylene mesh, where higher number of patients from group with monofilament polypropylene light mesh reported chronic pain. In our study we confirmed that working status and patient age have significant influence on the intensity of postoperative pain in all three patients group. There is no statistical correlation between type of the mesh and surgical site occurrence rate. Conclusion. Patients with applied self gripping polypropylene mesh have significantly lowest pain, lowest hospital stay, lowest duration of surgical procedure and less number of patients experienced feeling of “foreign body” in their groin than other two groups of patients.

The general structure of information flows of the integrative environment of digital medicine is described and the formalized representation of health care business processes are developed.An analysis of the characteristics of the main actors actively involved in medical care was provided, and the access level to medical information of each participant, which is an obligatory condition, in particular in the case of mobile medicine, was determined. To ensure the storage of this information, an infologicalmodel of the database was developed, indicating the internal links between the blocks of the database. Model elements are defined for each block: classes, attributes and operations (using UML). Conclusions. Formalized representation of eHealth business processes using mHealth reflects the interaction of participants in these processes (patient and different groups of health professionals) and information flows that arise in this interaction. To ensure reliable mechanisms for the digital medical data exchange, access levels were prescribed for each participant included in the eHealth system.

Among vector problems, the lexicographic ones constitute a broad significant class of problems of optimization. Lexicographic ordering is applied to establish rules of subordination and priority. Hence, a lot of problems including the ones of complex system optimization, of stochastic programming under a risk, of the dynamic character, etc. may be presented in the form of lexicographic problems of optimization. We have revealed the conditions of existence of solutions of multicriteria of lexicographic optimization problems with an unbounded set of feasible solutions on the basis of applying the properties of a recession cone of a con vex feasible set, the cone which puts it in order lexicographically with respect to optimization criteria. The obtained conditions may be successfully used while developing algorithms for finding the optimal solutions of the mentioned problems of lexicographic optimization. A method of finding the optimal solutions of convex lexico graphic problems with the linear functions of criteria is built and grounded on the basis of ideas of the method of linearization and the Kelley cutting plane method.

A method for the catalytic phosphonylation of C = X electrophiles has been developed. Pyridinium perchlorate is an effective catalyst for the phosphonylation reaction of trialkyl phosphites with various electrophiles C = X (X = O, S, N). The reaction leads to the formation of corresponding α-substituted phosphonates in high yields. The reaction leading to the formation of bisphosphonates represents the highest interest. It was found that the nucleo philic attack of triethyl phosphite on the electron-deficient carbon of the C = X group leads to the formation of beta ine, which reacts with pyridinium perchlorate to form alkoxyphosphonium perchlorate and pyridine. Quasiphosphonium salt is unstable and decomposes to form phosphonate, alkene, and perchloric acid, which reacts with pyridine to regenerate pyridinium perchlorate. The intermediate formed from the pyridinium halide decomposes to form alkyl halide. The general strategy of the proposed method for introducing phosphonate groups into a polyprenyl mole cule consisted in the sequential treatment of hydroxyl-containing a compound with the Swern reagent with the con version of the C—OH group into a carbonyl one. Subsequent phosphonylation of the carbonyl-containing interme diate with the reagent (EtO)3P/[PyH] + ClO 4– leads to the formation of hydroxyalkylbisphosphonate. The synthe sized prenyl bisphosphonates have a pronounced biological activity. These include, for example, enolpyruvylshikimate-3- phosphate synthase (EPSP), farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase), as well as HIV protease, which are of interest as potential biologically active substances.

Polyamines are stress plant metabolites involved in the formation of adaptive responses. Recently, they have been considered as compounds that are involved in signaling processes. However, the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) and its functional interaction with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the realization of stress-protective effects of polyamines has been very poorly studied. The participation of NO as a signaling mediator in the induction of the heat resistance of wheat seedlings by the exogenous diamine putrescine is studied. Incubation of intact seedling roots on a 1 mM putrescine solution caused an increase in the activity of diamine oxidase and a transient increase in the content of nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide, respectively, with peaks at 1 and 2 hours from the start of the treatment. The increase in the NO content was eliminated by the action of aminoguanidine (an inhibitor of diamine oxidase and NO synthase), but not sodium tungstate (an inhibitor of nitrate reductase). Treatment of seedlings with a scavenger of hydrogen peroxide with dimethylthiourea (DMTU) reduced the effect of increasing the NO content in roots caused by putrescine. At the same time, scavenger NO PTIO (2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) almost completely eliminated the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in the roots, which occurred under the action of putrescine. The increase in the heat resistance of seedlings induced by the treatment with putrescine was completely eliminated under the influence of the NO PTIO scavenger, an inhibitor of diamine oxidase and NO synthase aminoguanidine, and the antioxidant DMTU. It is concluded about the functional interaction of ROS and NO as a signal intermediaries, providing the induction of protective responses and the development of plants of heat-resistance in the processing of putrescine.

We study the regularities of the process of desalination of sodium chloride solutions with a limiting concentration of 10.2 to 37.7 g/dm3, which simulate chloride wastewater of some mining enterprises. We use an electrodializerconcentrator with advanced design developed at A.V. Dumansky Institute of Colloid Chemistry and Water Chemistry of the NASU. The need to develop such device is caused by the necessity of the deep concentration of concentrates obtained during the wastewater treatment in order to facilitate their further processing into secondary material resources. The electrodialyzers produced by the industry are unsuitable for a significant concentration, since the concentration chambers in such devices and the desalination chambers are pumped with the initial solution. This leads to a significant reduction in the concentration of the resulting brine. Studies have shown that the use of the specified electrodializer-concentrator allowed one to obtain for 100 min from solutions with a concentration of 10.2, 18.8, and 37.7 g/dm3 Cl-ion diluents containing them, respectively, 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 g/dm3 and to concentrate the brine by 10.6, 6.7, and 4.0 times, respectively. Based on this research and the experience gained at the Institute in the field of mine water treatment, a basic block diagram of the mine water treatment is developed. It is based on a combination of advanced electroodialysis and reverse osmosis. The complex processing of substances removed during the mine water treatment involves their use in relevant industries; additional desalination diluent can be used for technical purposes, and its excess is discharged into reservoirs.
