Contemporary Music in Students-Cellists Training Courses: Learning Problems
Authors:   Russian State Social University, Mikhaylov S.N.
Published: March 2021

the article deals with various aspects of mastering the compositions written by avant-garde composers by cellist students. The cello repertoire, created in the XX–XXI centuries, is based on avant-garde writing techniques and non-traditional performing techniques, which are rarely included in the content of the disciplines of professional training programs for cellists, not only in music colleges, but also in universities. The methods of composition used by avant-gardists in works for cello, as well as the artistic concepts embodied by them, are considered in the article from the point of view of the problems of mastering the repertoire by students of higher educational institutions. The most effective methods of practical development of avantgarde works, which use modern writing techniques, are proposed. Among them: a demonstration method, in which the teacher shows the work in his own performance and the ways of performing the most difficult parts in the score; listening to the work performed by the master in audio or video recordings, as well as comparing the interpretations of different performers; careful analysis of the score and the means of artistic expression of the studied work, including independent and joint analysis with the teacher; development of your own interpretation concept with comments on each section of the composition and explanations of the means of expression.

Published: March 2021

the article proves that the use of active forms of work (exercises and games) aimed at relieving tension, increasing self-regulation and self-knowledge, developing communication skills, empathy and reflection, and techniques for relieving situational tension and regulating emotional states contributes to the leveling of maladaptive psychological defenses, but does not significantly affect the use of psychological masks. In the experimental group, after a course of training aimed at the formation of adaptive psychological defenses of servicemen, it was revealed: reduction to a low level of such psychological defenses as avoidance, isolation, hypochondria, maladaptive psychological defenses, denial, passive aggression, behavioral response, primitive idealization, restraint, fantasy, reaction formation; raising to the average level of avoidance as the dominant strategy of psychological defense in communication; raising to a high level of such psychological defenses as foresight, rationalization, sublimation.

Authors:   International Institute of Psychology and Psychotherapy of the Auto-Order Direction, Yanisheva V.A. , Senkevich L.V. ,   Russian State Social University
Published: March 2021

the auto-order method of psychotherapy created by Vera Yanisheva has a unique psychotherapy setting and cleans the client’s mind. The study aim is to determine the influence of this author’s psychotherapy method. We hypothesized that the auto-order method helps clients improve their quality of life. The study sample consisted of 120 participants: the control group (n = 60; 25–56 years old, M = 41,35, SD = 7,38) and the experiment group (n = 60; 23–55 years old, M = 37.09, SD = 8.30), which attended 15 psychotherapy sessions. All the study members answered the author’s questionnaire twice at intervals of 7 weeks. The results demonstrate that after psychotherapy both the client’s emotional state and his satisfaction with interpersonal relationships, work and income were improved, while various pains were decreased. Thus, the auto-order method by Vera Yanisheva has a positive influence on the client’s mental and physical state.

the article presents the experience of planning the content, forms, conditions and procedure for conducting entrance tests of the admission campaign of 2020 for educational programs of a creative orientation in the context of preventing the spread of a new coronavirus infection – in a remote format. This format of the introductory tests is new for educational organizations and requires detailed study. As a methodological tool for solving the problem, a competent-oriented approach was made, which made it possible to determine the content and provide for an objective assessment of special competencies that ensure the incoming success of the educational program of a creative orientation. Within the framework of this approach, it is proposed to divide the creative test procedure into two periods, allowing the applicant to do creative work offline without interaction with members of the examination committee and in real time online, with indirect (at a distance) interaction between applicants and members of the examination committee. The results of this work enrich the experience in the implementation of the educational process using e-learning and distance learning technologies and can be used during the period of intermediate certification in the implementation of educational programs of any level related to the implementation of creative work.

Authors: Rodríguez Yupanqui Magda , Quezada Alvarez Medardo Alberto
Published: March 2021

El efluente del proceso del curtido genera impactos negativos en la salud y el ambiente debido a que en esta etapa solo se aprovecha el 70% del cromo (Cr) total utilizado; por lo cual la bioadsorción surge como una alternativa en la remoción de metales pesados. En tal sentido, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue evaluar la capacidad de remoción de cromo en efluentes de curtiembre utilizando un consorcio de levaduras constituido por cepas de Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S) y Pichia guilliermondi (P) aislados de residuos agroindustriales. El diseño experimental consistió en 4 biorreactores de 250 ml condicionados con muestras de efluente de la etapa de curtido, teniendo como sorbente el consorcio (S+P), controlados a 0,6, 12 y 24 horas. Las muestras fueron analizadas por la técnica de espectrofotometría de absorción atómica a la flama. Los resultados muestran una capacidad de remoción de Cr total de 57% y 54% en concentración de 50 y 100 ppm respectivamente por el consorcio de levaduras; asimismo, la evaluación estadística con ANOVA permite afirmar que no existe diferencia significativa (p>0.05) al emplear ambas concentraciones, recomendándose el uso de la más alta en el proceso de bioadsorción de efluentes de curtiembres.
How Do I Count Thee? Various Angles for Examining the Doubling Times of the Amish
Authors: Donnermeyer Joseph F.
Published: March 2021

The focus of this article is the measurement of how rapidly various parts of Amish society grow, including the number of settlements, households, church districts, and ordained men. "Amish society" means those Plain Anabaptist communities that both identify themselves as Amish and forbid car ownership. Doubling time was selected as the statistic to examine this growth. It is a measure of how quickly a population doubles; that is, its exponential growth. Most of the doubling times calculated for this article were within a few years of the doubling time estimate of 20 years for the Amish population in general, based on statistics from the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies. The article concludes with a discussion of what these measures of growth mean for the future of Amish society and extrapolations, based on current doubling times, by decade from 2020 to 2050. Recommended is a greater focus among Plain Anabaptist scholars on the population dynamics of the Amish, arguing that demographic dimensions underlie possible changes in the social, cultural, religious, and economic features of the Amish through the remainder of the twenty-first century.
Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic among the Amish of Northern Indiana
Authors: Stoltzfus Victor E.
Published: March 2021

Retired sociologist and college administrator Victor Stoltzfus reflects on a series of meetings in 2020 between leaders of the large Elkhart-LaGrange Amish settlement and state and local public health officials seeking to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Multiple sources of information, some of questionable provenance, worked against the reception and application of public health directives, as did the decentralized polity of the Amish church. The authority of medical science is not absolute in Amish circles and the Amish relationship with government includes elements of both obedience and distrust. The generally positive reputation the Amish enjoy in the wider public may be at risk as some non-Amish neighbors are dismayed by half-hearted Amish efforts to slow the spread of the pandemic. Stoltzfus concludes by noting the inconsistent mitigation practices on the part of the surrounding non-Amish population in northern Indiana.

Published: March 2021

Background: Bronchial asthma is a social and economic healthcare burden. Drug Utilization studies can play a key role in helping the healthcare system to understand, interpret and improve the prescribing administration & use of medications.Methods: A prospective, Cross-sectional, Observational study was conducted at inpatient and outpatient Department of Medicine and Paediatrics in tertiary health care centre. As per inclusion criteria, 127 patients with asthma were interviewed, and prescription data was recorded in a pre-designed case record form from 1 October 2018 to 31 December 2018.Results: A total of 127 prescriptions were studied. It was observed that majority of the study patients were in the age group of 40-50 years, with 83 (65.5%) males and 44 (34.6%) females. Most of the patients were of Mild intermittent asthma 65 (51.18 %) followed by patients with Mild persistent asthma 31 (24.40 %). 10 different anti-asthmatics drugs were prescribed along with adjunctive medicines. Most of the patients received multiple drug therapy 98 (77.16 %). Prevalence of two drug combination was the highest 74 (58.26 %) followed by monotherapy29 (22.83 %). Most common route of drug administration was inhalational route followed by oral route. β2 agonists and corticosteroids were the most commonly prescribed combination drugs followed by methylxanthines. 103 (81.10 %) prescription contains both generic and brand drugs compared to generic names only 16 (12.59 %) and brand names only 8 (6.29 %).Conclusions: This study concluded that the present prescribing practice in asthma therapy in tertiary care centre is not sufficiently rational. Hence, it is necessary to encourage physicians to follow asthma guidelines while managing asthmatic patients.

Authors: Basavanagowda Thanuja , Ramaraj Savitha Mysore
Published: March 2021

Background: There is a rise in prevalence of asthma world-over. This study was undertaken as there are controversies regarding the effect of long term inhaled-corticosteroids (ICS) on bone mineral density (BMD).Methods: Asthmatic children belonging to 5-18 year age-group as per the global initiative for asthma guidelines (GINA) guidelines, who were on ICS for a minimum period of 6 months were studied. This study was conducted at a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Mysuru. 60 asthmatic children were compared with 60 non-asthmatic controls. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry at 6 sites was used for estimating the BMD and vitamin D levels were measured.Results: 0.771±0.114 g/cm2 was the mean total BMD among children on low dose ICS, while it was 0.613±0.192 and 0.564±0.104 g/cm2 respectively for those on medium and high dose ICS, with p value of 0.026. Children on low dose ICS did not have any impact on BMD, while 18.9% of those on medium and high dose ICS had a reduced total BMD. Trochanteric region was a useful predictor site for monitoring BMD in children on long term ICS with 38.7% and 68.9% being affected when on ICS for 6-12 months and more than 12 months respectively (p=0.018).Conclusions: The ICS of medium and high dose, for a duration of more than 6 months had a reduced total BMD. However, no effect was seen with low dose. Trochanter is a useful site for long term monitoring of BMD in children. There was no correlation between vitamin D levels and control of asthma.

Published: March 2021

Background: Febrile convulsions is one of the most common type of seizures seen in children. It has been suggested that low serum magnesium (Mg) has occasionally been associated with epilepsy. A positive correlation of the hypomagnesemia with the severity of epilepsy was also found. The present study aimed to estimate the levels of serum magnesium in children with febrile convulsions and to compare serum magnesium levels with normal children.Methods: Fifty patients who were eligible after screening for inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study group after a signed written informed consent and 50 controls were also taken. A detailed history, clinical examination and these investigations were done – complete blood count (CBC) (Hb, DC and ESR), serum calcium, serum magnesium, serum electrolytes, random blood sugar and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.Results: The serum magnesium level was normal in 45 patients (90%) with febrile convulsions, low levels in 4 cases (8%) and high levels seen in 1 case (2%). Serum magnesium levels were normal in all 50 controls. In this study, the serum magnesium levels has got no correlation in patients with febrile convulsion. So, routine magnesium supplementation need not be prescribed in normal subjects to prevent febrile convulsions.Conclusions: Routine measurement of serum levels of Mg, glucose and calcium are warranted in subject with febrile convulsions. However, large prospective studies are further required in future to establish the correlation of serum Mg and febrile convulsions so that a standard guidelines can be set up which could be followed universally.

Authors: Bhatt Shwetal M. , Mehta Khushboo N. , Maheshwari Ankita , Parmar Priyanka C.
Published: March 2021

Background: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is routinely practiced in post-natal wards for care of stable low birth weight (LBW) infants. Objectives of the study were conducted to emphasize on the role of KMC in vitals stabilization and weight gain in LBW babies inside neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Methods: Cross-sectional analytical quantitative study.Results: A total of 80 babies (48 males and 32 females) were enrolled and given KMC inside NICU. Mean birth weight was 1330 grams. Mean gestational age was 33 weeks (range 30-38 weeks). KMC was initiated within 72 hours of life in majority of babies (71%). Though 65% of them required oxygen support via prongs, KMC was started in them, with monitoring of vitals. No episode of apnea was observed during KMC sessions. Mean duration of KMC was 6 days (3-14 days). Heart rate dropped by 3-4 beats per minute (150+2.12 to 146+1.63, Respiratory rate decreased from 53+3.9 to 49+2.7, Oxygen saturation improved by 2-3% (93+0.42 to 96+0.71). Temperature rose from 36.78+0.01 to 37.07+0.02. P value for all vitals was 0.0001, which is considered significant (<0.05). Average weight gain was 76 grams during the average 6 days of KMC inside NICU, (p value=0.0001).  Conclusions: KMC was found to be effective for stabilization of vitals in NICU, early initiation and upgradation of feeding, early achievement of weight gain pattern, and early shift to postnatal ward by mother’s side. Also, no adverse effects were noted on the babies.

Authors: Diggikar Shivshankar , Kulkarni Srikanth , Aradhya Abhishek S. , Venkatagiri Praveen
Published: March 2021

This web-based cross-sectional survey suggests that uptake of antenatal magnesium sulfate for babies<32 weeks is about 75.2% (67/89) of centres in India, more in private sector hospitals 53/66 (80.3%) compared to public sector hospitals 14/23 (60.8%). A written policy for managing babies<32 weeks is available in 62.9% of units. Adequate facilities were available in 94.3% of units to administer magnesium sulfate. Although there is adequate knowledge (89.8%) about the beneficial effects of antenatal magnesium sulfate, attitude, and practice seem to be the major hurdle in implementation.

Published: March 2021

Takayasu arteritis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of vessels that preferentially affects the aorta and its major branches. It can be a potential cause of stroke in young adults. Current study included 7 patients aged between 18 to 48 years. Each patient had varying presentations of stroke with Takayasu’s arteritis along with other neurological symptoms. Four of the 7 patients presented with ischemic strokes, one with hemorrhagic stroke, one with TIAs and one with syncopal attacks. All the patients had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rates. Five of the seven patients were treated with steroids and methotrexate. Two were treated with azathioprine and steroids. Antiplatelets were given for those patients who had strokes and TIAs. Our cases demonstrate that Takayasu arteritis can present with varying presentations including stroke. Thus, it is important to consider Takayasu’s arteritis as an unusual etiology of stroke especially in young adults.

Servicios públicos y gobierno digital durante la pandemia: Perspectivas de los ciudadanos, los funcionarios y las instituciones públicas
Authors: Roseth Benjamin , Reyes Angela , Yee Amézaga Karla
Published: March 2021

La pandemia del COVID-19 incrementó repentinamente la dependencia de las herramientas digitales, tanto para la prestación y acceso a servicios públicos, como para el trabajo remoto de los funcionarios. ¿Pudieron las instituciones públicas de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) responder a este desafío, seguir funcionando y prestando servicios? Este informe busca responder a esta pregunta a través de nueva evidencia descriptiva recopilada desde tres perspectivas: la de los ciudadanos, con base en encuestas a más de 32.000 personas de 13 países; la de los funcionarios públicos, sustentada en una encuesta a más de 4.600 servidores en nueve países; y de las instituciones públicas, a partir de un cuestionario completado por 11 autoridades del gobierno digital y seis breves estudios de caso. Se encontró que, ante la crisis, muchos países digitalizaron un número importante de servicios, a veces en cuestión de días. Además, la proporción de personas que usó Internet para hacer trámites pasó del 21% antes de la pandemia al 39% durante la misma. Sin embargo, aun con las restricciones al movimiento, alrededor del 50% de las personas hicieron su último trámite de manera presencial. En cuanto al teletrabajo en el sector público, casi la mitad de los empleados reportó que hubo tareas críticas que no lograron hacer desde que empezó la pandemia, muchas de las cuales se hubieran podido resolver con herramientas de gobierno digital. Estos hallazgos apuntan a la necesidad de actuar para mejorar la disponibilidad y calidad de los servicios digitales y la factibilidad del teletrabajo en el gobierno.
Teacher Hiring Instruments and Teacher Value Added: Evidence from Peru
Authors: Bertoni Eleonora , Elacqua Gregory , Méndez Carolina , Santos Humberto
Published: March 2021

In this article, we explore whether the evaluation instruments used to recruit teachers in the national teacher hiring process in Peru are good predictors of teacher effectiveness. To this end, we estimate teacher value-added (TVA) measures for public primary school teachers in 2018 and test for their correlation with the results of the 2015 and 2017 national evaluations. Our findings indicate that among the three sub-tests that comprise the first, centralized stage of the process, the curricular and pedagogical knowledge component has the strongest (and significant) correlation with the TVA measure, while the weakest correlation is found with the reading comprehension component. At the second, decentralized stage, we find no significant correlation with our measures of TVA for math, as well as non-robust correlations for the professional experience and classroom observation evaluation instruments. A positive and significant correlation is found between the classroom observation component and TVA for reading. Moreover, we find correlations between our measure of TVA and several teacher characteristics: TVA is higher for female teachers and for those at higher salary levels while it is lower for teachers with temporary contracts (compared to those with permanent positions).

Published: March 2021

Background: Recent scientific data support that the mode of conception and delivery may influence epigenetic regulation and therefore embryo development. Octamer-binding transcription factor 4-B1 (OCT4B1), a novel variant of OCT4 with yet unknown biological function, is suggested to have a potential role in mediating cellular stress response. Furthermore, Insulinlike Growth Factor 2 (IGF2), Mesoderm-specific Transcript (MEST) and paternally expressed gene 10 (PEG10) are genes known as imprinted and are regulated via means of epigenetic regulation. The influence of delivery mode and conception on epigenetic regulation is an active research field.
Objective: Our aim was to correlate the expression level of Oct4B1 and the expression and methylation level of IGF2, MEST, and PEG10 imprinted genes with the mode of delivery and conception in the umbilical cord blood of newborns.
Materials and Methods: Samples of umbilical cord blood from infants born after vaginal delivery, caesarean section (CS) with the infant in cephalic position and CS due to breech position were examined. Furthermore, the investigation included infants conceived through means of assisted reproductive technology.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found in mRNA expression levels between different modes of conception and delivery (p = 0.96). Oct4B1, IGF2, MEST, and PEG10 expression levels do not seem to be significantly affected by different modes of conception and delivery.
Conclusion: These results indicate that the expression and methylation patterns of Oct4B1, IGF2, MEST and PEG10 in umbilical cord blood are not affected by the conception and delivery mode.

Post-Kolonyalizm ve Leopold Sedar Senghor: Tartışmalı Bir Düşünür Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: ALIM Eray
Published: March 2021

Bu çalışmada, Post-Kolonyal düşünce dâhilinde Léopold Sédar Senghor’un konumu incelenmiştir. Şair, filozof ve siyasetçi gibi farklı özellikleri bünyesinde barından Senegal’in eski devlet başkanı Senghor, çok boyutlu bir Post-Kolonyalizm analizine imkân tanımaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu çalışma, Senghor’un entelektüel ve siyasetçi kimliklerini mercek altına alarak, bu iki kimlik arasındaki ilişkinin mahiyetini sorgulamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, Senghor’un “Siyahi-Afrikalılık” savunusu etrafında felsefi ve poetik bir başkaldırı ortaya koyduğu; siyasetçi olarak ise Fransa ile geliştirdiği yakın ilişkiler nedeniyle daha pragmatik bir profil arz ettiği saptanmaktadır. İlaveten, Post-Kolonyal dönem ve Soğuk Savaş şartları Senghor’un hareket alanını daraltmışsa da bu ismin sömürge karşıtlığının bayraktarlarından biri olmayı sürdürdüğü sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır.

Authors: YÜCEL Gökberk , DOĞAN Fatih
Published: March 2021

The aim of this study is to examine the role, position, and function of the Organization of Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude- KdF), which was established in 1933, in Nazi Germany. In the context of the projection on the social and economic structure of the aims of totalitarian regimes to intervene in social life without leaving any gap, in Nazi Germany, KdF organized events that affected many points of social life, especially holiday organizations, and strengthened the Nazi regime until the year it ended its actions, taking the principles and goals of national socialism at the center of these activities. At this point, the KdF first played a major role in increasing the trust and loyalty regarding the Hitler government. Second, it constituted one of the transporter and application areas of the eugenics politics at the point of Nazism's project of creating a pure race. Finally, it contributed to the establishment of socio-economic and socio-cultural harmony between German society in accordance with the ideological structure of Nazism, and to the cultural production based on this harmony.

The emergence of satellites covering new electromagnetic wavelengthsallowed developing different vegetation indices, enabling the study of theircorrelation with grain yield. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy between the mean values of seven vegetation indices and the mean corn grain yield in the field by applying linear regression equations. The indices NDVI, NDRE, GNDVI, GRNDVI, and PNDVI were used, with changes proposed in the equations of the indices GRNDVI and PNDVI, in which the red wavelength was replaced by the red edge. The multispectral bands provided by the Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B imaging instruments were used as a source of data to calculate the vegetation indices, while the values recorded by the grain harvester were used for the survey of grain yield data. A high correlation was observed between indices and grain yield. The replacement of the red wavelength with the red edge improves the correlation between vegetation indices and grain yield. Moreover, the indices GNDVI and NDVI easily saturate, reaching maximum values and not allowing the distinction between sample classes. Therefore, the vegetation indices PRENDVI and GRENDVI are recommended for estimating grain yield.

Authors: Petinov Ian
Published: March 2021

The article contains a theoretical overview of the bases of animal-assisted interventions within the structure of psychosocial service for elderly people in geriatric centers. It also contains analysis of the main theories that explain the impact of animal-assisted interventions on the emotional state in humans, as well as the opportunities to incorporate such an approach in various types of psychosocial work. The article contains a thorough summary of the recent research papers on the use of animal-assisted interventions in educational and therapeutic work with elderly people in geriatric centers. The conclusion of the theoretical overview is that among the analyzed theories that explain the effect of animal-assisted interventions, the most scientifically grounded is the physiological theory, according to which the human brain produces a range of neurotransmitters that activate pleasurable emotional experience during human-animal interaction. Generally, the review of scientific articles has allowed us to discover the benefits of animal-assisted interventions in various human service fields, including occupational therapy, psychotherapy, counseling, and social service. In this view, there are various skills that can be supported for development when working with elderly people in geriatric centers, such as the following:1. Physical skills, including handling a wheelchair and the body balance.2. Psychological skills, including individual and group communication and interaction, self-esteem, leisure and recreation, attention, decrease of the subjective sense of loneliness, short- and long-term memory.3. Motivation, including interaction with staff members, exercise of goal-making.
