EDUCAÇÃO DO CAMPO NA VOZ DA PESQUISA EM EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS
Authors: SOUZA JOSIANE DE , OSTERMANN FERNANDA , REZENDE FLAVIA
Published: March 2020

RESUMO: O número expressivo de cursos de licenciatura em educação do campo com ênfase em ciências da natureza, iniciados a partir de 2009 no Brasil, torna relevante a relação entre educação em ciências e educação do campo. Levantamos, na literatura nacional e internacional em educação em ciências, artigos que abordavam a educação do campo e analisamos como era construída discursivamente a aproximação com essa área. Uma análise Bakhtiniana sugeriu discursos híbridos valorizando a realidade local, mas se apropriando do conhecimento científico e/ou do ensino de diferentes maneiras: sem modificação de conteúdos pré-selecionados; com seleção de conteúdos a partir de problemas locais; e com modificações das práticas de ensino. Consideramos os últimos grupos adequados ao que conceituamos como educação científica do campo.

Abstract Heartworm disease is a health problem for dogs and cats, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the world. Some studies have compared the efficacy of the diagnostic techniques used to detect this parasitosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare parasitological optical microscopy (POM), serological and molecular techniques for diagnosing canine heartworm infection. Samples were collected between July 2015 and April 2016 from 103 dogs in Cabo Frio, RJ, Brazil. The wet fresh blood, thick smears, thin smears and modified Knott’s test were used to detect microfilariae. ELISA (Snap™ 4Dx ® IDEXX) was used to detect antigens and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect DNA and enable sequencing for species differentiation and confirmation. 19.4% of samples were positive according to microscopy. Through PCR, 15.5% of the total were positive. Using ELISA, the positivity rate was 29.1%. Occult heartworm infection was detected in 11.6% of the samples. ELISA sensitivity was shown to be higher than PCR or microscopy (P = 0.001). Sequencing of samples confirmed the presence of Dirofilaria immitis and Acanthocheilonema reconditum . ELISA was more effective for serological diagnosis canine heartworm and should be used in clinical and epidemiological studies.
Bored piles in tropical soils and rocks: shaft and base resistances, t–z and q–w models
Authors: Ong Yin Hoe , Toh Cheng Teik , Chee Sai Kim , Mohamad Hisham
Published: March 2020

Analyses of load tests on 100 instrumented bored piles in different weathering grades of different tropical geological formations of peninsular Malaysia enabled correlations of ultimate shaft and base resistance with standard penetration test (SPT) results and unconfined compression strengths. The data also enabled development of shaft resistance (t–z) and base resistance (q–w) models that are related to SPT, unconfined compressive strength and rock types. The t–z models can be used for strain softening and strain hardening while the q–w models are for strain hardening and stiffening behaviour. The models thus developed were applied for analysis of 35 piles in the database that were loaded until the load–settlement curves were significantly non-linear. Most of the analyses resulted in a reasonable match with the measured load–settlement and load-transfer curves up to 1.5 times the pile working load, regardless of whether the q–w function was strain hardening or stiffening. Accurate matching with measured load–settlement and load-transfer curves for 1.5–3 times working load was conditional on the correct choice of the q–w function. The models were further tested against 27 published load test results from across the world.
Do brazilian publicly traded companies that pay less tax create more jobs?
Authors: Lopo Martinez Antonio , Silva Raimundo da
Published: March 2020

There is a widespread assumption that lower corporate taxation will lead to higher rates of job creation, but this belief may be false, as challenged by Anderson and Pizzigati (2017). This article studies the relationship between job creation and 3 tax aggressiveness proxies in Brazilian non-financial firms listed in B3 in the period between 2011 and 2016. The estimates were created using the methods of ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression. The results obtained from the estimates using OLS did not present significant evidence of an association between the rate of job creation and effective tax rates. In the quantile regressions, it was possible to find a significant and positive relationship between job creation and effective tax rates, exclusively in quantile 25 of the effective tax rate on value added. Quantiles 50 and 75 presented negative relationships between job creation and effective tax rates in different tax aggressiveness metrics. The results suggest that the firm’s tax aggressiveness profile influences the relationship. While in the less tax-aggressive companies a reduction of the tax burden would potentially stimulate job creation, in those companies that are more tax-aggressive, the tax break may lead to the undesirable effect of a fall in job creation.
Regulatory Arbitrage in the Use of Insurance in the New Standardized Approach for Operational Risk Capital
Authors: Migueis Marco
Published: March 2020

Basel's new standardized approach (SA) for operational risk capital may allow for regulatory arbitrage through the use of insurance. Under the SA, banks will have incentive to insure recurring losses, which can meaningfully reduce capital requirements even as it does not meaningfully decrease tail operational loss exposure. Several alternatives to deal with this regulatory arbitrage strategy are discussed.

Os mais acometidos foram os menos escolarizados, adultos jovens (entre 20-39 anos) ou maiores de 60 anos. As taxas entre homens são 3,7 vezes maiores em todas as regiões. A mortalidade mais elevada se encontra na região Sudeste e o maior crescimento percentual, no Norte. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: A mortalidade por suicídio continua a crescer no país, com importantes variações regionais. O Brasil ainda carece de programas governamentais que trabalhem efetivamente na prevenção do suicídio.
The Container Image Schema as the Conceptual Basis of English Adjectives’ Semantics
Authors: Antonova Marina
Published: March 2020

This paper focuses on the cognitive foundation of the semantics of English adjectives that denote mental and moral characteristics of human beings. Research into these adjectives seems a challenging task because they denote abstract qualities that cannot be perceived through vision, hearing, or touch; and here a question arises: How are abstract qualities interpreted in English encoded through adjectives? To answer it, this study follows the idea of two-level semantics, i.e. word semantics is treated as a two-level phenomenon that comprises the semantic (external) level and the conceptual (deep) one. This study is the first to address adjectival semantics from this perspective. Here a novel approach to revealing the cognitive foundation of adjectives is introduced: given that adjectives originated from old syncretic items and a word cognitive model forms at the moment of word creation, cognitive models underlying adjectives' semantics are unearthed via analysis of their etymological data. Our contribution is two-fold. First, the approach has revealed that the image schema CONTAINER guides semantics of an array of various adjectives independent of their morphemic structure or date of origin. The examples demonstrate that abstract human qualities are interpreted via the following container features: boundary, container substance, size, hardness/softness of a container shell, etc. The semantics of affixed or compound adjectives appear to stem from the integration of concepts represented by an affix and a root or two roots, respectively. Second, the findings show that the value given to every container feature appears to predetermine the evaluation conveyed by an adjective. Container features tend to possess ambivalent value, realizing the positive or negative one due to the interaction with a frame in which the CONTAINER is incorporated, therefore the same polysemantic adjective may develop both positive and negative meanings. To reveal the whole inventory of cognitive models that govern adjectival semantics in English, further research needs to be conducted.
Politicisation ‘Reversed’: EU Free Trade Negotiations with West Africa and the Caribbean
Authors: Moerland Anke , Weinhardt Clara
Published: March 2020

The politicisation of recent European Union (EU) trade negotiations such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement suggests that the more negotiations focus on deep integration issues, the higher the potential for polarization of values and interests. Yet, as we argue, this pattern does not necessarily hold true in EU trade negotiations with the developing world. In the case of the Economic Partnership Agreements with West Africa and the Caribbean region, the pattern of politicisation was ‘reversed’: Politicisation remained low in the Caribbean region, despite the inclusion of deep integration issues. To the contrary, negotiations became highly politicised in West Africa, where negotiations focussed on the traditional realm of trade in goods. Combining the insights from the literature on the role of non-state actors (NSAs) in trade policy-making in developing countries and on politicisation, we show that limited pre-existing mobilisation resources of NSAs, and few opportunities to engage with the political level of negotiations, imply that those affected by the inclusion of deep integration issues hardly mobilise. We also find that lack of technical expertise and the significance of traditional trade areas pre-empts NSAs from engaging in emotive framing on deep integration issues. This helps us to unpack the different patterns of politicisation across both regions: Politicisation in West Africa was facilitated by civil society actors who—in contrast to the Caribbean region—could draw on pre-existing networks, expertise, and direct access to the regional negotiation level.
Slow Rise of Trade Politicisation in the UK and Brexit
Authors: García María
Published: March 2020

Since the Brexit referendum, the UK government has deployed a vision of ‘Global Britain’ revolving around trade agreements, yet, this was not a key issue in the referendum. Drawing on politicisation literature, we explore the absence of visible activism around future trade policy, in contrast to moderate activity around the EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). We identify actors in UK TTIP mobilisation and trace their actions post-referendum, revealing politicisation as campaigners participate in channels for attempting to influence future UK trade policy. In the presence of these channels and lack of full clarity on future policy, to date, recourse to visible mobilisation in the public space has not yet occurred. Tracing this dynamic process, intertwining Brexit and trade policy, enables us to understand how politicisation of one process affects another. Crucially, given the context of re-nationalisation of trade policy, it allows us to explore how politicisation is operationalised in the absence of one of the key conditions for politicisation suggested in the literature: the transfer of authority to a more remote level of governance.

SOCIALIZING ASPECTS OF DISCIPLINE "FOREIGN LANGUAGE"
Authors: Shestopalova I. , Potapenko K.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the problem of socialization of an individual in the process of foreign language learning, which is a part of multicultural education and is considered as an important tool for a person's adaptation in a multicultural society. The leading idea of the article is the assertion that foreign language as a discipline has a huge socializing potential, as in the process of a foreign language learning, not only the active development of natural resources, abilities, initiative, independence, take place, but also, assimilation of generally accepted in a society socio- cultural rules and moral norms, which plays a crucial role in the process of socialization is activated. Since the main goal of the educational process in foreign languages is the formation of the very communicative skills, its contribution to the process of socialization of a man is indisputable. In this sense, the following characteristics of the learning process in a foreign language are important: the focus on communication, respect for the identity and culture of other peoples, the focus on social activities, the acquisition of social experience in solving life and social problems, and the creation of its own system of life priorities. The communicative method of teaching foreign languages is based on the fact that the learning process is a model of communication. The learning process in foreign languages is based on the linguistic partnership, creative collaboration, constant motivation of communication, based on a combination of such interconnected factors as activity, creativity, autonomy, individualization, which contribute to the intensification of cognitive and educational processes. That is, organization of training in the form of communication is the main methodological task of a modern teacher of foreign languages. It is this specificity of the discipline "foreign language" that is capable of effective implementing educational socialization, helping to complete the formation of the students' ability to communicate, co- exist and cooperate in the professional activities of people of different ethnic groups, the formation of a rich experience of social and cultural communication, which is a solid base for the involvement of learners to the global values of civilization.
Creatividad, intuición y emoción en la praxis metodológica universitaria
Authors: Carvajal Beatriz Carolina
Published: March 2020

Se analiza la relación entre la interpretación de los aportes teóricos asociados a la neurociencia (emoción, creatividad e intuición) y la aplicación de estos constructos en la praxis metodológica universitaria, con el fin de proponer líneas de acción estratégicas para un quehacer investigativo vinculado a la creatividad. Se teoriza que la praxis investigativa de universidades latinoamericanas, es un estudio aproximado, en el sentido de plasmar resultado experiencial en docencia e investigación; por ello se trabaja con una muestra intencional conformada por las siguientes universidades: Universidad Católica Salesiana “Silva Henríquez” (Chile); Universidad Estatal a Distancia y Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (Costa Rica); Universidad Federal de Rio de Janeiro (Brasil); Universidad Nacional de Córdoba y Centro de Estudios Avanzados (Argentina); Universidad Experimental de los Llanos Ezequiel Zamora, Universidad de Carabobo, Universidad de los Andes y Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado (Venezuela). En lo metodológico se hace una triangulación entre los métodos cualitativos: etnográfico, grupo focal y la hermenéutica. Los resultados para el ámbito universitario destacan la necesidad de ajustar la praxis investigativa en correspondencia con el contexto sociohistórico, es decir con la matriz epistémica de donde surge y en concordancia con los aportes de la neurociencia cognitiva (intuición y emociones). Como conclusión se plantea el reconocimiento de las emociones, la creatividad y la intuición para lograr representaciones previas de alto valor y carga semántica, lo cual constituye una vía de desarrollo de la creatividad en la praxis investigativa.
PREPARATION of Gd2O3 NANOMATERIALS via SOLUTION COMBUSTION SYNTHESIS FOR OXIDATIVE COUPLING OF METHANE
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Hasan
Published: March 2020

In this study, in the production of Gd2O3 material which has many usage areas, solution combustion synthesis was used and the changes in the physical and structural properties of the material were investigated by changing the oxidant/fuel ratio. The resulting metal oxide powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, Thermogravimetric-Differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and tested in oxidative coupling of methane. Cubic and monoclinic phases were observed in Gd2O3 crystal structure at fuel-rich and stoichiometric conditions, and only cubic phase was determined at fuel-lean conditions. It was determined that the obtained powders were mesoporous and the highest BET surface area was obtained at stoichiometric oxidant/fuel ratio (18.6 m2/g). It was determined that the powders were formed from rather small particles (<30 nm) and with layered or stacked structure. The catalytic performance of Gd2O3 nanoparticles was found to be dependent on the BET surface area and crystal structure. The highest C2 yield was obtained at 720°C with Gd2O3-0.5 (8.5%).
Information-structure strategies in English/Spanish translation
Authors: Jiménez-Fernández Ángel L.
Published: March 2020

This paper discusses information structure-based strategies that could be used in translating from English to Spanish. It is widely observed that many problems arise in translation when establishing the theme/topic and providing the focus content in the target language, given the grammatical instruments available in the source language. It is extremely important to use similar discourse mechanisms to present the same message in exactly the same terms from an information-structure point of view. This means that the syntactic configuration may be different in the source and target texts. I focus on three information structure phenomena, namely Passive, Topic Fronting and Negative Preposing in the two languages, to analyse the preservation of the discourse flow in various translations for the optimal use of the relevant constructions.

Published: March 2020

In this paper, a new form of log-alpha-skew distribution is proposed by the same methodology of Venegas et al. (2016) and investigated some of its related distributions. The moments and distributional properties of the proposed distribution are also discussed. Also, the appropriateness of this distribution are checked by performing the data fitting experiment and comparing the values of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) with the values of some other known distributions. Likelihood ratio test is used for discriminating between normal and the proposed distributions.
Clinical and epidemiological study of non-venereal genital diseases in females
Authors: P. Mamatha , Arora Sheena , Vardhan Abhijeet
Published: March 2020

Background: Dermatoses which are not sexually transmitted are referred to as non-venereal dermatoses of external genitalia. Venereal and non-venereal dermatoses tend to be confused and it is associated with guilt feeling in affected patients. The aim of the study was to study the incidence of non-venereal lesions of the genitalia and to know the incidence of non-venereal lesions of the genitalia in association with dermatoses of other parts of the body.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, clinical and observational study in 250 female patients attending dermatovenereology OPD of Vydehi Hospital, Bengaluru with non-venereal genital lesions for a period of 18 months. cases having venereal diseases were excluded from the study.

Results: The study included 250 female patients with non-venereal genital lesions. Twenty-five different types of non-venereal dermatoses were observed. Inflammatory disorders were most common accounting for 128 patients (51.2%). Among inflammatory disorders lichen simplex chronicus was seen most followed by lichen sclerosus. Candidiasis was found to be more common among infections and infestations. Vitiligo was the commonest pigmentary disorder seen in our study. Other cases noted include epidermal inclusion cyst, Bartholin cyst and fibroepithelial stromal polyp. Pre malignant conditions like Bowenoid papulosis and malignant lesions like squamous cell carcinoma are also seen.

Conclusions: This study helps in understanding the importance of diagnosis of non-venereal dermatoses and to differentiate it from venereal causes.

Authors: Pardo Pérez Enrique , Causil Vargas Luis A. , Muñoz Mass Bertha L.
Published: March 2020

En el gato doméstico (Felis catus), la presencia de genes que codifican la coloración, el diseño y la longitud del pelaje, que se caracterizan por su herencia mendeliana y su fácil identificación fenotípica. Además su comportamiento reproductor no está controlado por el hombre, al igual que su vertiginoso incremento demográfico y su distribución casi mundial, ha convertido al gato doméstico, en una especie útil para la genética de poblaciones. El objetivo fue evaluar el perfil genético de las poblaciones de gatos domésticos (Felis catus) mediante genes del pelaje en Riohacha, La Guajira. Se efectuaron muestreos aleatorios de julio a septiembre del año 2015, en 267 animales adultos de seis barrios de Riohacha, utilizando marcadores de pelaje, cada animal se caracterizó fenotípicamente atendiendo a los marcadores de codificación morfológica: el locus ligado al sexo Orange (O) y los loci autosómicos Non-agouti (a), Tabby blotched (Tb), Dilution (d), Pelo largo (l) Manchado de blanco (S) y Dominante blanco (W). El marcador Non-agouti mostró la mayor frecuencia mientras los genes: Dominante blanco y pelo largo exhibió el valor más bajo. Se obtuvieron bajos valores de variabilidad genética a nivel global y poblacional. Así mismo, se obtuvo una escasa diferenciación genética entre poblaciones, acompañado de un elevado flujo génico; se observó exceso de heterocigotos a nivel poblacional y a nivel total y ausencia de equilibrio Hardy-Weinberg respecto a los marcadores Orange y Manchado de blanco. Se logró establecer que las poblaciones se encuentran muy relacionadas genéticamente.
Hydrocarbon deposits in non-anticlinal traps of the Yamal Peninsula of Western Siberia
Authors: Shuster Vladimir L. , Dziublo Alexander D. , Shnip Oleg A.
Published: March 2020

The article considers various types of non-anticlinal traps of the Yamal Peninsula of Western Siberia. The task is to establish the features of their formation and structure. Gas and gas condensate deposits were allocated in the Akhskian formation of the Neocomian section, associated with wedge-shaped traps (Bovanenkovsky, Kharasaveysky fields). This type of lithologically-shielded traps was formed due to clastic material entering the territory of the Yamal Peninsula from the East Siberian Platform, the Yenisei Ridge (from the east) and the Ural Mountains (from the west). Sand and clay material accumulated along the path of underwater hills, where wedging zones formed. Traps of various types are developed in the Jurassic deposits of the region. Traps of tectonically shielded type are formed in areas of the active influence of discontinuous disturbances on the structure of the section (for example, on the Nurminsky Swell). Lithologically-shielded traps are formed on the slopes of the erosive remnants of the paleorelief in zones of terrigenous horizons wedging. Such traps are also formed in zones of their screening by the surface of the pre-Cretaceous erosion. The considered examples made it possible to establish the confinement of various types of traps to the sediment section and their distribution over the area of ​​the Yamal region.
Potential Consumer Harm Due to Regulation on Financial Advisory Communication in the FinTech Age
Authors: Tharp Derek T.
Published: March 2020

This article examines potential consumer harm that may arise due to regulating modern financial services communication technology with rules written in the early 20th century. It is argued that disparities in record keeping regulation across communication mediums disincentivizes the use of technology capable of generating records for consumer retention, while incentivizing the use of technology which shields financial advisors from accountability. Experimental evidence is provided in support of this argument. Further, it is argued that regulation disparities across communication mediums may result in more wrongful accusations of advisor misconduct, less reporting of genuine misconduct, less self-policing among industry members, and greater unrectifiable consumer harm. Objections to these arguments are considered, along with practical guidance for consumers, regulators, and policy makers.
Financial Experiences, Beliefs, and Near Field Communication Based Mobile Payments Among Young Adults
Authors: Zhao Haidong , Zhang Lini , Anong Sophia
Published: March 2020

This study examined a conceptual model on the intention to adopt NFC-based mobile payment that incorporates financial experiences and beliefs. NFC refers to Near Field Communication, a new technology in mobile payments. From an online experimental survey of 463 U.S. young adults, this research found consumers who used cards among their payment methods as opposed to cash-only were less likely to adopt NFC mobile payment. Previous experience in non-NFC mobile payments had a significant positive association with intention to adopt NFC mobile payment. Among the beliefs, consumers with higher trust and higher perceived usefulness about NFC mobile payment had greater intentions to adopt it. Moreover, trust was found to have a mediating effect between non-NFC mobile payment experience and the intention to adopt NFC mobile payment. This study not only provides mobile payment providers with effective marketing strategies to increase consumers' adoption of NFC mobile payment but also provides financial educators with important implications to develop targeted education programs.
Factors Associated With Electronic Banking Adoption
Authors: Yates Stephanie R.
Published: March 2020

Using data from the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finances, this study investigates factors that affect electronic banking adoption rates. Financial knowledge, income, education, and credit card ownership are associated with a high probability of electronic banking adoption. However, age is negatively associated with the probability of online banking adoption and the African American consumer is less likely to adopt electronic banking. This result is more prominent for African American women but does not hold for African American business owners. Financial counselors, planners, and educators should be aware and sensitive to these differences in order to provide additional education as needed on how to effectively use electronic banking services in order to achieve a greater degree of financial inclusion.

Authors: López Barragán Cynthia Nathaly , Bogotá Rodríguez Laura Carolina , Valero-Pacheco Ivonne Constanza , Torres Vanegas César Augusto , Castillo Martínez Armando David
Published: March 2020

Introducción: la incapacidad temporal es el resultado de una alteración en la salud que impide a la persona desempeñar funciones laborales por un tiempo determinado; por ello requiere tiempo para su recuperación o rehabilitación. Los estudios demuestran un incremento en el número y la duración de los episodios de incapacidad temporal, con altos costos para la organización y la sociedad. Objetivo: explorar las principales variables asociadas a la incapacidad temporal y los fundamentos teóricos para futuros estudios en la materia. Métodos: para la revisión del tema se diseñó un protocolo de búsqueda. Primero se partió del objetivo de investigación y luego se determinaron descriptores y bases de datos indexadas para su consulta. Para la selección y evaluación de los artículos se aplicaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Los artículos objeto de revisión se escogieron mediante su evaluación crítica. Resultados: de un total de 5817 documentos se seleccionaron 52 referencias con la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Como resultado de la evaluación crítica, se analizaron 18 artículos. Los hallazgos se consolidaron en tres grupos: condiciones sociodemográficas, de salud y trabajo. Conclusión: la incapacidad temporal es multifactorial y constituye un problema de salud pública. La edad y los trastornos musculoesqueléticos y mentales son las principales variables asociadas a la incapacidad temporal. Las condiciones de trabajo se relacionan con alteraciones de la salud mental que generan incapacidad temporal. Los pocos resultados empíricos existentes en Colombia confirman la necesidad de investigar este fenómeno en aras de contribuir a mejorar el modelo de salud
Factors of Inequality of Russians' Life Chances (Empirical Analysis)
Authors: Karavay Anastasia V.
Published: March 2020

The article, based on the data from the eighth wave of all-Russian Monitoring carried out by Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS in April 2018, presents the results of the analysis of factors that determine individual’s position in the space of life chances and risks. As shown by the multinomial regression analysis, the risks of falling into the deprived strata are largely related to the ascriptive characteristics of the individual, primarily – with his health, male gender and place of residence. In particular, the increased risks of deprivation for Moscow residents have been identified, which may be associated with a high share of the first-generation migrants among them, who are in a situation of the high probability of long-term unemployment, income instability and non-compliance of their basic labor rights. The scale of this problem is so great that all mass strata of the Moscow residents demonstrate relatively worse indicators in this respect in comparison with residents of other cities, although However, hereditary Muscovites are in a privileged position relatively to the inhabitants of other locations. It is also demonstrated that the expansion of life chances, in contrast to their narrowing relative to the current standard of life chances and risks in modern Russian society, is primarily due to specifics of the resource endowment of individuals. High-quality human and cultural capital, the presence of high-potential social contacts, the habit of planning one’s life and accepting own responsibility for it significantly expand the life chances of Russians while minimizing the risks. The interaction of these factors provides a cumulative effect and shows itself in the accumulation of the human potential of highest quality, contributing to the further expansion of life chances. This is also facilitated by the transfer of key resources in the process of the upper strata’s social reproduction.
The Relationship of the Characteristics of Family Leisure and the Level of Formation of Human Potential of Children (Through the Example of Families with School-Age Children)
Authors: Natsun Leila N.
Published: March 2020

Several key institutions of society, including the family, take part in shaping the human potential of the younger generation. With the growing workload of the working population, it is getting more difcult forparents to combine parenting and professional activities. The “children or work” dilemma arises in almost any family. In these conditions, the importance of the time that parents can spend with their children increases. At the same time, considering the limited time for communication with children, the leisure practices that bring the greatest results in bringing up children remain insufficiently studied. This study aims to fill in this gap. The purpose is to study the influence of the duration and content of communication between parents and children on the formation of their human potential. The information base was composed of data received from representative opinion polls of the population in general and of families with children in particular which were conducted in the Vologda Oblast as a model region of the Russian Federation. In the course of the study, three clusters of families were distinguished, which differ in the duration of the daily communication of parents with their children. On the example of the families that have the least time for raising children, it is shown that the content of communication, the values used as a basis for upbringing, and the qualities of the children themselves are correlated with the effectiveness of upbringing. It is shown that the best formed human potential in children corresponds to such aspects of family upbringing as its focus on the personal, aesthetic, cultural and intellectual development of children, as well as their incorporation in joint work with parents. Additionally, children with higher levels of formation of human potential more evidently showed all the main positive volitional qualities of their personalities. The results obtained confirm the importance of not only the duration, but also the content of communication between parents and children for the formation of the potential of the younger generation.

Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui golongan senyawa metabolit sekunder dari ekstrak daun miana (Coleus blumei. Benth) yang memiliki aktivitas anticestoda. Daun miana kering diekstraksi dengan metode yang sesuai untuk mendapatkan golongan senyawa metabolit sekunder alkaloid, flavonoid, tanin, dan steroid. Aktivitas anticestoda diukur dengan menghitung waktu kematian cacing Hymenolepis microstoma pada setiap golongan metabolit sekunder konsentrasi 10%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tanin memiliki aktivitas anticestoda yang kuat yang tidak berbeda dengan praziquatel sebagai anthelmintik komersial. Akivitas anticestoda flavonoid mirip dengan tanin akan tetapi aktivitasnya masih dibawah  praziquatel. Alkaloid dan steroid memiliki aktivitas anticestoda yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan tanin dan flavonoid.  Hasil penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa tanin sebagai senyawa metabolit sekunder yang paling aktif sebagai anticestoda dibandingkan flavonoid, alkaloid, dan steroid.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a well known reported gastrointestinal tract disease, which the prevalence continous to increase in Southeast Asia and other developing countries. Animal model have already been widely used for gut inflammation study. Lambda (λ) carrageenan is a chemical substance which commonly used to induced inflammation in IBD animal models. Physical exercise is a non-pharmacological therapy recommended for IBD. However, further study is needed to determine the effects of this therapy. This study was aimed to determine the physical exercise effect on colon inflammation in mice induced λ-carrageenan. Thirty-eight mice were divided into 2 groups. Control group (C) which induced with λ-carrageenan and treatment group (T) which induced by λ-carrageenan and treadmill exercise. The degree of colon inflammation was obtained by histopathological examination using Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining  and inflammation scoring system, which include inflammatory cell infiltration and intestinal architecture. All mice colon samples in both group were inflamed with varying degrees. The treatment group had a higher Inflammatory degree score than control group (p <0.05). Physical exercise does not improved the degree of colon inflammation in mice induced λ-carrageenan due to uncontrolled stress induction and water intake containing λ-carrageenan.

The need of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) nutrient in oil palm nursery are usually fulfilled with synthetic chemical fertilizers such as NPK fertilizer. The application of NPK fertilizer can cause the soil to become hard due to the accumulation of the residue left on the ground. Cow manure is able to substitute NPK fertilizer based on the chemical status of the soil. This study aimed at analyzing the effect of NPK fertilizer substitution with cow manure on the growth of oil palm seedlings in the pre-nurseries and main nurseries. The experiment was conducted from February to September 2018 in the Banguntapan research and experimental field, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The experiment applied the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one factor and six blocks as replications. The factors were subtitution using the replacement series method with five levels of doses, 100% NPK, 75% NPK + 25% cow manure, 50% NPK + 50% cow manure, 25% NPK + 75% cow manure and 100% cow manure. The observed parameter variables were root lenght, root area, hump diameter, leaf area, the number of leaves, plant height and plant dry matter. The use of 25% NPK substitute with 75% organic material was the best result in increasing the growth performance of oil palm seddlings in pre-nursery and main nursery.
