Species adjust their behavior and life-history to adapt to local environmental conditions. Species with large ecological prevalence often show signatures of local adaptations to different environment, particularly in extreme ones. Here, we investigate local adaptation in different populations of the North African Sahara frog (Pelophylax saharicus) living in various environmental conditions that varies mostly in temperature, precipitation, and elevation by mean of common garden experiment aiming to estimate the growth rate under two predation treatments (absence or presence of non-lethal cues of dragonfly larvae). First, we found an elevational cline in the reproductive phenology where, from low to high elevation, the reproductive season shifts to later dates, whereas that in arid environment was later than all other populations. We suggest that geographic differences in temperature and rainfall (in arid areas) explain this phenological pattern. Second, hatching success was overall high but showed a slight decline across elevation. Third, growth rate was generally faster in low and intermediate elevation populations, but slower in high elevation and arid environment populations. Populations in low and intermediate elevation responded to predation by reducing growth rate and the size at metamorphosis, but no predatory responses were recorded in high elevation and arid environment populations. Our study shows some life history signatures of local adaptation of P. saharicus in Northeast Algeria, which does not go in line with recent genetic analysis showing low population differentiation in the region.

Published: October 2021

BackgroundAdipokines played an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, observational studies have indicated an inconsistent association between adipokines (adiponectin, resistin and leptin) and RA. Therefore, we tried to explore the causal effects of genetically predicted adipokines on RA by two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.MethodsSummary statistics of RA were obtained from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of European descent, including 14,361 RA cases and 43,923 controls. Based on three additional GWAS, we selected genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) that were related to adiponectin, resistin and leptin. The two-sample MR study was conducted to estimate causality between adipokines and RA by the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method and weighted-median method. In addition, we applied MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO and leave-one-out analysis to evaluate the potential pleiotropy effects.ResultsWe screened a total of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for adipokines (7 SNPs for adiponectin, 3 SNPs for resistin and 2 SNPs for leptin). We found that resistin was positively related to risk of RA (the IVW method: OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.07-1.53, P-value = 0.007; the weighted median: OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.02-1.54, P-value = 0.035). However, based on the IVW method and weighted median, there was little evidence to support the causal relationship between adiponectin, leptin and RA. MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO and leave-one-out analysis did not indicate horizontal pleiotropy.ConclusionsOur MR study indicates that genetically predicted resistin is causally associated with risk of RA. However, there was little evidence to support the causality of adiponectin and leptin on RA, tentatively.
Tool Offset End-fly-cutting Method for Fabrication of Multi-boundary Lens Array
Authors: Zhang Guoqing , Ma Shuai , Luo Tong , Wang Jianpeng , Jiang Jiankai
Published: October 2021

The lens arrays are widely used in advanced industrial fields such as national defense, medical care, and aerospace due to its special optical performance. Single-point diamond turning based on fast/slow tool servo technology is an important machining method to fabricate lens arrays. However, the constant-angle or constant-arc-length sampling of the spiral tool trajectory leads to the uneven distribution of surface data point cloud, which makes the theoretical morphology of microstructure deviate from their machined morphology, and seriously restricts the high precision, high flexibility and large-scale fabrication of the microstructure. This research provided a novel fabrication method for machining multi-boundary lens arrays by employing tool offset end-fly-cutting method which interchanged the position of the tool and workpiece, and a mathematical model was established to generate the uniform tool trajectory covering the multi-boundary lens array. Through the comparison of measured and simulated results, the root-mean-square (RMS) error of multi-boundary lens array's sectional curve is below 1 μm, proving the effectiveness of the machining method. This method provided a new technical scheme for the fabrication of multi-boundary lens arrays, and provided a theoretical reference for machining multi-scale microstructures.

Published: October 2021

Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia duodenalis are common detected intestinal protozoa species in humans and animals, contributing to global gastroenteritis spread. In the present study, we examined the prevalence and zoonotic potential of Cryptosporidium spp. and G. duodenalis in two rodent species in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau area (QTPA) of China for the first time. A total of 498 intestinal content samples were collected from five counties of QTPA of Gansu province, China. Cryptosporidium spp. and G. duodenalis were found in 2.5% (10/399) and 1.5% (6/399) of Himalayan marmots, while in 1.0% (1/99) and 2.0% (2/99) of Alashan ground squirrels, respectively. Four Cryptosporidium genotypes were identified, including one known horse genotype (n=1) and three novel genotypes designated as marmot genotype I (n = 7), marmot genotype II (n = 2) and marmot genotype III (n = 1). The horse genotype was further subtyped as novel subtype VIbA10. G. duodenalis zoonotic assemblages A (n = 1), B (n = 6), E (n = 1) were identified in the present study. This is the first study to identify Cryptosporidium spp. and G. duodenalis in the two wild rodent species worldwide, suggesting the potential zoonotic transmission of the two pathogens in QTPA.

Authors: Mitchell Sharon , Jaccard Evrim , Schmitz Felix Michael , Von Kanel Elianne , Collombet Prune , Cornuz Jacques , Waeber Gérard , Guessous Idris , Guttormsen Sissel
Published: October 2021

Background: Precision Medicine offers tailored prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management to patients that considers genomic, lifestyle and environmental factors. If implementation of PM is to advance, effective, focused upskilling of frontline healthcare workers through quality continuing professional development (CPD) is needed. This study reports on an evidence-based approach to needs assessment to investigate the acceptability of pharmacists, advanced practice nurses and general practitioners towards a national blended training programme in PM. Needs assessment avoids a top-down approach and supports a design that is fit for purpose, acceptable to the target professions and fills a perceived gap in current practice. Methods: This study reports on 2 focus groups (n=12) delivered in French and German with equal professional participation of the targeted professions. The focus groups were audio recorded, transcribed by intelligent verbatim and translated to English. NVivo was used for data analysis and interpretation following a hybrid approach using the Framework Method and thematic analysis.Results: Precision Medicine as a new topic is largely unfamiliar to frontline healthcare professionals. Insight was gathered on acceptable learning objectives and results will be validated with a follow up survey to a wider audience. All participants shared their concerns on their readiness to implement a precision approach within their professions. Additional raised points include insufficient system infrastructure and supporting network of experts, a lack of time to attend training, and a lack of clarity for use in practice.Conclusions: Our results conclude that an adaptable and flexible training programme in PM is timely, contextually relevant and conducive to the needs of targeted health professions for successful implementation. A training programme in PM will require support across sectors and stakeholders, supporting insurance models, educated patients and integrated care supported by innovative technology. Precision Medicine is on our horizon and it is not a question of if but when and to what extent Precision Medicine will become a new normal for frontline healthcare professionals.
Siapa yang Menjamah Aku?: Menafsir Narasi Lukas 8:43–48 dengan Pendekatan Poskolonial Feminis
Authors: Laholo Dedi Bili
Published: October 2021

AbstractWomen who suffer from intimate organ issues, such as discharge of blood, are often stigmatized and prejudiced. Former colonialization worsened the culture of patriarchy in treating unfairly women in such condition. Using a postcolonial feminist approach and focusing on the narrative story of a woman having discharge of blood in the Gospel of Luke 8:43–48, this article refl ects on the experiences of sick women today. This approach aims to identify the voice of those who are experiencing double colonializations, political, and cultural. The goal is to realize the domination that occurs in the text and its context and to refl ct on the woman’s struggle for proving her faith. The result of the hermeneutic work shows the woman’s resilience and bravery, and reveals Jesus as aholistic, liberating, and transforming healer.

AbstrakPerempuan yang menderita sakit, khususnya yang berhubungan dengan organ intim, sering mendapatkan stigma dan prasangka dari berbagai pihak. Realita sebagai masyarakat yang pernah mengalami kolonialisasi diperparah dengan warisan patriarki menempatkan perempuan dengan penyakit pada organ intim—seperti pendarahan berlebih—pada keadaan yang sulit. Narasi perempuan yang sakit pendarahan menurut Injil Lukas 8:43–48 akan menjadi fokus untuk merefleksikan pengalaman perempuan yang sakit dalam teks terhadap kenyataan dan pengalaman perempuan yang sakit masa kini dengan metode atau pendekatan poskolonial feminis. Pendekatan ini berusaha untuk menemukan suara mereka yang mengalami penjajahan ganda, baik oleh kolonialisme maupun oleh patriarki. Tujuannya adalah untuk melihat dominasi yang terjadi dalam teks dan konteksnya serta merefl eksikan tentang perjuangan perempuan dan pembuktian imannya. Dari kerja hermeneutik yang dilakukan didapat makna perjuangan dan keberanian perempuan serta Yesus yang hadir sebagai penyembuh yang holistik, yang membebaskan serta mentransformasi.

Authors: Kristianto Andreas
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis article attempts to explore the eroticism of Syeh Amongraga in Serat Centhini. The author uses Serat Centhini edited by Karkono Partokusumo (1985) and the latest contemporary novel by Elizabeth D. Inandiak with the title Centhini: Kekasih yang Tersembunyi (2018). This paper is a qualitative descriptive study using the perspective ofreviewing mystical theology and sexuality. The result suggests that Serat Centhini is a Javanese literary work containing erotic spirituality concerning the idea of “ngudi kasampurnaan” (seeking perfection), “manunggaling kawula lan Gusti” (integrating the servant with God), “pamongraga lan pamongrasa” (guardian body and guardian mysticfeeling), and erotic celebrations. The study of the Centhini opens a new horizon in contextual theology to view sexuality positively, especially in its encounter with the bible book Song of Songs.

Hormatilah Istrimu: Sebuah Penafsiran Terhadap 1 Petrus 3:7
Authors: Sembiring Raharja , Butarbutar Rut Debora
Published: October 2021

Abstract1 Peter 3:1–7 is a dilemmatic text. The word hupotassō or ‘subject to’ in this passage is often used to justify female subordination.This article uses the identity of 1 Peter’s addressee, paroikos kai parepidēmos, as a hermeutical framework to get new ideas on the meaning of relations between men and women. The existence of verse 7 in haustafeln’s advice of 1 Peter 3:1–7 indicates that the spirit of equality has been echoed by the author in the Greco-Roman patriarchal society. A husband who was already a believer is a potential point for constructing gender equality and, at the same time, protecting women in a patriarchal cultural circle.

AbstrakTeks 1 Petrus 3:1–7 merupakan teks yang dilematis. Kata hupotassō atau ‘tunduk’ dalam perikop ini sering digunakan sebagai pembenaran bagi subordinasi perempuan. Tulisan ini menggunakan identitas penerima surat 1 Petrus, paroikos kai parepidēmos, sebagai hermeneutical framework atau bingkai kerja penafsiran untuk mendapatkan gagasan baru atas makna relasi laki-laki dan perempuan. Keberadaan ayat 7 dalam nasihat haustafeln 1 Petrus 3:1–7 menandakan bahwa jiwa kesetaraan sudah mulai didengungkan oleh pengarang dalam masyarakat patriarki Yunani-Romawi. Suami yang sudah percaya adalah celah yang potensial untuk membumikan kesetaraan jender dan sekaligus melindungi perempuan dalam lingkaran budaya patriarki.

The article is devoted to the study of the image of China in the Russian-language texts of blogs about Chinese painting. The purpose of this study is to determine the descriptive aspects of the art forms studied, as well as the linguistic and non-linguistic ways of forming a fragment of Chinese image. The material comes from the blogs about Chinese painting published on the online platform LiveJournal and in the online edition Magazeta.The relevance of the work is due to the interest in the humanities in the media image of China. In the process of analyzing empirical material, the methods of contextual analysis and media-linguistic analysis are used. The materials studied reveal five main aspects of Chinese painting description: the status of painting in Chinese and world culture; content and genres of Chinese painting; artist status and skill; perception of Chinese painting through the eyes of another cultural representative; the painting elements of Chinese painting in the text. It reveals the language means of forming the unique part of Chinese art and the functions of the visual components in blog texts. It is concluded that China is presented in Russian-language blogs as an amazing country with an ancient and unique culture, with deep symbolism of various philosophical concepts.
PROXEMES TYPOLOGY IN THE POINT OF VIEW OF ROMANCE AND CERMANIC TRANSLATION
Authors:   Belgorod National Research University, ELENA A. OGNEVA
Published: October 2021

The article considers the literary space as one of the significant segments of the text world. The literary space, represented by proxems, is divided into a personalised literary space and a non-personalised literary space. The article justifies the author’s typology of proxemes, consisting of four types of proxem units: 1) words and constructions, the semantics of which marks the literary space, 2) verbs of movement, 3) place names, 4) landscape units. The correlation of the static and dynamic of the literary space and the text proxemes’ types is described as follows: 1) two types belong to static proxemes: (a) words and constructions, the semantics of which marks the literary space, (b) place names; dynamic proxemes include one type of proxemes - verbs of movement. Landscape units are a staticdynamic type of proxemes. It is established that the identified types of proxemes in the translation’s informative sphere of J. Verne’s novel “L’île mystériouse” from French to English “The mysterious island” are transmitted mainly symmetrically. It leads to the English reconstruction of literary space model of J. Verne, created in French.

“WHEN I STOPPED MAKING SENSE, SENSES BECAME CLEARER!” MEANING-MAKING IN ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH
Authors:   Kathmandu University School of Education, KUMAR DHAKAL REBAT
Published: October 2021

Meaning-making is the central focus of all ethnographic writing. However, a methodical approach to mean-ing-making remains under-represented in literature and it is undermined in academic discourse. Taking two anecdotes of presenting preliminary senses of the ethnographic field materials of my doctoral research, I explore some issues central to meaning-making processes in ethnographic research on inclusive school governance. The paper argues that rather than adopting the ‘phased approach’ consisting of ‘data gathering’ and ‘meaning-making’, ethnographic research can better interweave these two for revealing a more comprehensive and insider view of reality. Moreover, reflecting on my experience and learning, I emphasize involving participants in the meaning-making process, which is not only desirable but possibly a reasonable option for neophyte ethnog-raphers.
ISLAM AND MUSLIMS OF EASTERN EUROPE: THE PROBLEM OF ADAPTATION AND CULTURAL ASSIMILATION
Authors:   Institute of Service, Tourism and Design (NCFU Branch) in Pyatigorsk, ARUSHAN A. VARTUMYAN
Published: October 2021

The monograph examines the position of "indigenous" Muslims in Eastern Europe. The difference in the approaches of states in relation to the descendants of the Tatars who settled in the countries of Eastern Europe on the example of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is described. Almost all countries have their own special history of relations with the Muslim world. Islam persists as a factor in ethnic identity. The article considers the policy of the European Union, which obliges the EU countries to pursue a policy of accepting certain quotas from countries as "Syrian refugees". The article considers the tightening of antiimmigrant legislation in Eastern Europe and examples of negative attitudes towards this project.
ON THE QUESTION OF LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES AND INQUIRIES OF DEPUTIES OF THE STATE DUMA OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE OF THE BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY OF THE THIRD AND FOURTH CONVOCATIONS FOR THE CULTURAL HERITAGE PRESERVATION
Authors:   Krasnodar State Institute of Culture, LEV A. KARAPETYAN
Published: October 2021

An appeal to historical experience about the role of a new state body - parliament - in the field of protection of historical and cultural heritage is relevant not only in the academic sense. The purpose of the article is to consider parliamentary legislative initiatives and requests to the government on issues of historical and cultural heritage. The source of the article is the legislative materials of the Russian parliament. The article is based on a systematic approach, the principles of objectivity, historicism, and concreteness. Special methods were also applied: historical explanation, historical-legal, comparative-historical. It was revealed that changes in state cultural policy, including in the field of cultural heritage protection, are associated with the transition of Russia to a constitutional monarchy, which also meant limiting the legislative power of the emperor. Despite the undemocratic electoral law to the State Duma, society was given the opportunity to participate in legislation on the preservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The subject of the research was parliamentary legislative initiatives and requests to the government. Deputy inquiries made it possible to exercise parliamentary control over the Council of Ministers, which was formed by the king and was responsible only to him. A substantive analysis of five legislative initiatives, three requests and appeals is given. The legislative proposals were aimed at perpetuating memorable events and preserving individual monuments, for which significant financial allocations were required. On this issue, there was more mutual understanding between the deputies of various party factions and the government, although the cultural sphere was still financed on a leftover basis. Disagreements were much more serious when considering parliamentary inquiries related to intangible cultural heritage, in particular, attitude to the national language.
THE IMAGE OF AN ORTHODOX PRIEST-RENEGATE IN THE SOVIET ANTI-RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA IN 1922-1923
Authors:   ANO ", ANDREY A. DOROSH ,   Frontiers of History"
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to anti-religious activities in the USSR in 1922-1923. The article deals with the problem of using the image of a renegade clergyman in anti-religious propaganda, which, in turn, was the main one in the entire anti-religious propaganda of the period under study. Not the least role in anti-religious propaganda was played by the Soviet newspaper Bezbozhnik, which was not only one of the many periodicals in the 1920s that directly or indirectly related to the Soviet government stance on religion, but was the leading newspaper specializing in aggressive propaganda of godlessness. In addition, this newspaper was a consolidating and organizing platform for the atheists of the USSR, and in the future, acted as an organizing force in the creation of the "Union of Militant Atheists" - organization that aims to completely eradicate religion. Some cases of the denial of Orthodox clergymen from the church are investigated. The article analyzes the methods of propaganda of atheism by the “Atheist” newspaper. The propaganda image of a renegade priest created by anti-religious propaganda is examined in detail. The history of the anti-religious policy of the Soviet state is being studied. When writing the article, the author used the historical-systemic approach and the principle of historicism.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE DEFENDERS OF THE CITY OF GROZNY TO THE DEFENSE OF THE CAUCASUS: ISSUES OF HISTORIOGRAPHY
Authors:   Chechen State Pedagogical University, MOVSUR M. IBRAGIMOV , ISLAM Z. KHATUEV ,   Chechen State University
Published: October 2021

This article discusses the issues of defense of the Caucasus in general, and in particular, the city of Grozny during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. The oil-producing and machine-building Grozny was of strategic importance, both for the ruling circles of Nazi Germany, in their aggressive plans, and for the Soviet command, which considered this North Caucasian city one of the main bases for providing the front with fuel. The article pays special attention to the historiography of the topic under study. The whole body of sources and literature on the topic of the defense of the Caucasus during the Great Patriotic War that was studied allows us to elaborate a conditional sorting by different chronological periods. The article presents the data and eyewitnesses of the described events, as well as the memoir literature of military leaders during the war. The authors studied some rich material about the investigated events in the Soviet historical literature. The authors of the article used some data from the memoir sources of the German Wehrmacht, which allow us to look at the history of events from the enemy side. Some dissertation works devoted to the topic of defense of the Caucasus during the Great Patriotic War are considered. The publications of contemporary authors about the events of 1942-1943 in the North Caucasus are also relevant in the study of the stated topic.

Authors:   Kalmyk State University named after B.B. Gorodovikov, OLGA A. DZHAGAEVA , YULIYA G. ESHCHENKO ,   Astrakhan State University
Published: October 2021

The article examines the Soviet-Mongolian cooperation in the scientific field at the first stage of the formation of statehood in the Mongolian People's Republic in the 1920-1940s. The authors analyze main areas of scientific cooperation in this period, based on a wide range of research. One of the priority areas was the wide dissemination of scientific knowledge among the population, which resulted in creation of a network of educational institutions and an increase in the general level of education of the population. Another important area was research in the traditional spheres of Mongolia’s activity, where theoretical achievements could be quickly transformed into practical results. The article pays special attention to the activities of the Commission for Scientific Research of Mongolia (1925-1927), the Mongolian Commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1927-1953), the Scientific Committee of the Mongolian People’s Republic in organizing research expeditions to study the history, nature and culture of the Mongolian People’s Republic. As the Mongolian People’s Republic lacks national academic personnel, scientific institutes, material resources, a system for training researchers, the article noted the contribution of Soviet scientists to the formation of Mongolian science and the opening of the first national university.
DIRECTORS NEVER LEAVE... INTERVIEW WITH V.P. IVANOV - DIRECTOR OF THE CASPIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF FISHERIES IN 1980-2001. PART 1
Authors:   Astrakhan State University, VLADIMIR P. IVANOV , SERGEY V. VINOGRADOV ,   Astrakhan State University
Published: October 2021

The Caspian Fisheries Research Institute (CaspNIRKh) will celebrate its 125th Anniversary in 2022. The first scientific fishery institution in Russia was created in Astrakhan in 1897. It was the Ichthyological Laboratory under the Caspian Fisheries Administration, which became the ancestor of the scientific center in the Caspian. The reason for creation and development of this scientific institution is the fact that the Volga-Caspian region for several centuries played an important role in ensuring the country's food security, supplying its population with fish and fish products. From 1980 to 2001 CaspNIRKh was headed by a renowned scientist, a talented leader, a modest and charming person, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Vladimir Prokofievich Ivanov. During this period, the institute solved many scientific and organizational problems: development of fisheries in the Caspian Sea, forecasting fish catches, development of pond fish farming trends, merging both scientific departments CaspNIRKh and TsNIORKh into a single institute, preservation of the Institute in the difficult 1990s, establishment of international ties under the conditions of the collapse of the USSR, etc. Despite unfavorable circumstances and numerous difficulties, V.P. Ivanov managed to preserve KaspNIRKh, its team and scientific potential. An important fact that characterizes his human qualities is his ability to maintain warm, friendly relations with many of his colleagues. Honored Fishery Worker of Russia, Honorary Professor of Astrakhan State Technical University, Honorary Citizen of the city of Astrakhan Vladimir Prokofievich has been on a well-deserved retirement since 2018. But this is just a formality, because in his 84 years he is still actively involved in creative activity: he writes articles, monographs, works with degree-seeking applicants, consults his colleagues on different issues. In a conversation with the editor-in-chief of the journal S.V. Vinogradov, V.P. Ivanov shared his memories, as well as some reflections on ways to preserve the biological resources of the Caspian Sea for future generations.

Published: October 2021

This paper gives an analytical method to obtain the deformation of a cantilever curved beam. The curved beam considered has circular centre line and the thickness of the cross section in radial direction depends on the circumferential coordinate. The kinematics of the Euler-Bernoulli beam model is used to formulate of governing equations. The curved homogeneous and isotropic elastic beam is fixed at the one of the end cross section and on the other end cross section is subjected to concentrated forces and a couple. A numerical example illustrates the applications of the derived formulae.
Miért nem járnak az emberek labdarúgó-mérkőzésre Magyarországon?
Authors: Balogh Renátó , Kardos Magdolna Valentina , Bácsné Bába Éva
Published: October 2021

A passzív sportfogyasztással kapcsolatos kutatások mind nemzetközi, mind hazai szinten rendre a szurkolók motivációira fókuszálnak. Ugyanakkor Magyarországon az észak-amerikai és nyugat-európai példáktól eltérően arra a kérdésre kell válaszokat keressünk, hogy az emberek miért nem járnak labdarúgó-mérkőzésekre. Annak érdekében, hogy választ találjunk erre a kérdésre online kérdőíves vizsgálatot végeztünk, melynek elemszáma 347 fő. A mérkőzésektől távolmaradók elemzésére sportfogyasztástól való tartózkodási skálát alkalmaztunk, mely skála megbízhatóságát Cronbach-alfa érték számítással ellenőriztük. A főkomponens-elemzésünk után 5 belső és 5 külső tartózkodási faktor alakítottunk ki, amelyeken egyrészt demográfiai, másrészt sportfogyasztással kapcsolatos változók mentén hipotésvizsgálatokat végeztünk. Eredményeink alapján megállapítottuk, hogy a közvélekedéssel ellentétben a magyar futballmérkőzések alacsony nézőszámáért nem kizárólag és elsősorban a sikertelenség és a mérkőzések alacsony színvonala a felelős. Válaszadóinkat leginkább a labdarúgáshoz kapcsolódó állami intézkedések tartják távol a stadionoktól, továbbá az, hogy szívesebben vesznek részt más szabadidős programlehetőségeken.
The Omnipresent Past: Dystopian Trends in Nadine Gordimer’s No Time Like the Present
Authors: Sih Emmerencia Beh , Peter Caleb De Noumedem
Published: October 2021

This paper seeks to analyze the dystopian character of Nadine Gordimer’s No Time Like the Present and demonstrate the claustrophobic nature of post-apartheid South Africa. The problem in this paper is to investigate the way in which Gordimer’s novel interprets the perceived socio-political evolution of her country. Our point of departure is that post-apartheid South Africa is not healed of its turbulent past and this past haunts and torments it till date. This article foregrounds the argument that the dystopian nature of Gordimer’s last novel is evident in the fact it captures the crash of dreams for an egalitarian, non-racial society; it portrays the repression and failure of individual efforts to improve society; and it describes poverty, violence and anarchy as society’s unchanging norms. Using postcolonial literary theory, this paper shows how No Time Like the Present narrates the entanglement of South Africans at a time when political morass and socio-economic inequalities abort anti-apartheid expectations. This paper arrives at the conclusion that No Time Like the Present is a dystopian novel in which grim, absurd realities are portrayed to show how remote and unfamiliar the present is when compared with expectations nurtured in the past.
Cocoa butter equivalent from Kpangnan butter and Pequi oil
Authors: Ghazani Saeed Mirzaee , Guedes Andrea Madalena , Antoniassi Rosemar , Marangoni Alejandro
Published: October 2021

Novel cocoa butter equivalents were designed using dry fractionated
Pequi oil and solvent fractionated Kpangnan butter. Static
crystallization of binary mixtures of these two fractions into the
triclinic form (β2) was achieved after 12 days for all mixtures and
after 4 days for the 80:20 w/w and 90:10 w/w fractionated Kpangnan:Pequi
oil mixtures. Moreover, after 60 days of storage at 22oC, all binary
blends (except 100% fractionated pequi oil and 100% fractionated
Kpangnan butter) were crystallized in the most stable triclinic crystal
form (β1). Here we also discovered an unusual melting behavior for the
fractionaled 30:70 w/w and 20:80 w/w fractionated Kpangnan:Pequi oil
mixtures, where after 4 days of static crystallization at room 22oC,
these mixtures displayed higher than predicted melting points, 41.89 oC
and 33.32 oC, respectively. This suggested a faster kinetics of

Published: October 2021

This article deals with a strategy of advanced extreme-optimal high-output energy-saving uniform exploratory control for the heating of concast slabs under the broad hot-rolling mill working modes with unsteady outputs to achieve guaranteed metal heating. The implemented advanced extreme-optimal exploratory control development strategy for production processes is analyzed using the specific example of efficient guaranteed optimum control of the heating parameters in through-feed furnaces. We review the best variational and exploratory extreme control methods for three interrelated heating processes: the distribution of fuel along the length of the furnace body and over time; the optimal control of fuel-burning to obtain the best calorific effect possible; the optimum heat-saving control for combustion product ejection through the reduced heat losses due to suction and knocking out. The operability and feasibility of the suggested extreme-optimal control are achieved using the simplified dynamic heat exchange model along the “fuel consumption” - “billet center temperature” channel with the surface temperature of the heated billets used as the main monitoring and control parameter. We analyzed the efficient method of automated autonomous positive control for the real thermal condition of each of the billets before they are ejected from the furnace to prevent the possibility of feeding underheated billets to the rolling mill, as well as emergencies in the mill. This system provides a forecast for the expected breakdown temperature for each of the billets before they are ejected from the furnace under the energy-saving operational mode. We present the results of the practical implementation of the extreme-optimal control for metal heating at four Russian high-output rolling mills that have a significant economic effect with minimum costs of software (digital) implementation of the suggested control concept.

A problemática das desigualdades educacionais evidencia a influência da origem social sobre aspectos que envolvem o acesso e a permanência dos  estudantes no ensino superior e ao longo da trajetória profissional. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar em que medida o Curso de Administração Pública (CSAP) da Fundação João Pinheiro (FJP) é atravessado pela reprodução da estrutura de classes, seja da perspectiva dos ingressantes, seja da perspectiva dos egressos, à luz do referencial teórico de Bourdieu e Lahire. Realizou-se uma análise quanti e qualitativa dos dados dos alunos egressos do Curso de Administração Pública da Fundação João Pinheiro. A abordagem quantitativa nos forneceu um perfil do grupo estudado, a partir da análise de variáveis relacionadas à origem de classe. Entrevistas foram utilizadas para entender os percursos específicos dos sujeitos entrevistados. Corroborando o que apontam estudos da sociologia da educação, verificou-se estatisticamente que a origem social impacta sobre as chances de acesso ao curso. Por outro lado, dentre os indivíduos oriundos das camadas populares, há aqueles que vencem a barreira do ingresso e constroem trajetórias de sucesso acadêmico e profissional. Assim, por meio de análise qualitativa, procurou-se vislumbrar os fatores que possibilitaram o acesso ao CSAP e a permanência na carreira. Percebeu-se a importância da socialização secundária, da bolsa de estudos assegurada pelo curso, da garantia do ingresso no serviço público prevista com a conclusão da graduação e da persistência.
