Published: August 2022

Partindo de uma breve síntese analítica sobre a influência da Sociologia em Portugal, presente nas esferas académica, estudantil, laboral e política, discute-se neste texto o gradual processo de implementação da Sociologia enquanto área disciplinar e de ensino em cursos de graduação e pós-graduação em Sociologia, sendo relevado como bem-sucedido este processo de institucionalização em Institutos Politécnicos e sobretudo Universidades. Por fim, sustenta-se, em contrapartida, que a Sociologia tem sido paradoxalmente relegada para um papel insignificante no ensino básico e secundário, quando tal, como disciplina transversal em torno de tópicos como sociedade, cultura e política, deveria constituir um imperativo de formação científica e cidadania dos/as jovens.
Transdisciplinaridade e ciência pós-normal. A emergência de um paradigma pós-kuhniano?
Authors:   Dinamia’cet-iscte, Henriques Carolina Neto
Published: August 2022

Muito presente no universo conceptual em torno dos debates sobre Transdisciplinaridade, a tese da Ciência Pós-Normal emerge nos anos 90 do séc. XX como uma proposta que prioriza a tríade Ciência-Tecnologia-Sociedade para superar as limitações da ciência “normal” na acepção de Thomas Kuhn. Argumenta-se, neste estudo, que esta tese é insuficiente por não se pronunciar em relação às condições sociológicas e históricas em que as limitações do conhecimento científico “normal” são denunciadas; assim, confronta-se a tese da Ciência Pós-Normal com três leituras — uma com recurso ao trabalho de T. Kuhn; outra com recurso à tese da produção de conhecimento de “Modo 2” de Michael Gibbons et al.; e uma terceira, com recurso ao trabalho de Ben Martin. A partir de uma revisão crítica da literatura, conclui-se que, no séc. XXI, propostas de transformação da missão da Universidade enfrentam novos desafios que questionam, possivelmente, o próprio futuro da Universidade-Investigação.

Effect of Digital and Financial Awareness of Household Womens on the Use of Fin-Tech in India: Observing the Relation with (Utaut) Model
Authors: Yadav Uma Shankar , Tripathi Ravindra , Tripathi Mano Ashish
Published: August 2022

Era of COVID-19 resulted in contactless transactions and extensive use of technological applications. Similar was the case of Fin-Tech which has extensively been used by consumers all around the globe for making transactions and other financial and economic needs. Although there is a lack of research to reflect these forms of evidence from the developing as well as Indian sides of the globe. On the other side, some studies indicated the Unified Household Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model as the base to prefer mobile methods of transaction and Fin-Tech use. Hence this paper has been developed systematically to relate the financial literacy of household females from Generation Y with the use of Fin-Tech during the eve of COVID-19. For devising this relationship research has been induced with the UTAUT model and data have been collected from married household females between twenty-four to thirty-five years of age. Results were analyzed through SMART-PLS which highlighted the financial literacy of Indian household females has a significant association with UTAUT model. However, the entire UTAUT model does not have a significant relationship with the use of Fin-Tech.

Authors: Gakii Annstellah , Kolokonyi Karoli , Miceni Romano
Published: August 2022

The African government has implemented measures to sustain an investable economic downturn as it navigates the fiscal effect of the viral spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Consequently, commercial banks in Africa have come hand in hand toward support of SMEs activities by increasing their borrowing power and reducing interest rates. Despite all these measures the general performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Africa as pertains to revenues and profits has gone down. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the measures undertaken by commercial banks to ensure proper running and continuity of activities in the SMEs sector in Africa. The research is founded on the theories of innovation diffusion and resource-based theory. This study will use a mixed research design, which will include descriptive and explanatory research. The proposed target population will be Africa’s thriving commercial banks. The primary and secondary data will be used from commercial bank reports and the central bureau of statistics reports across Africa. The data will be analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. The finding indicated that commercial banks in Africa have brought in solutions and measures to adapt to the crisis being implicated on the SMEs by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings of the desktop reviews, the study concludes that commercial banks have a significant influence on SMEs during this period of COVID-19, and with the assistance of the government, they have implemented more policies to support the activities of SMEs.

Authors: Duryagin Pavel , Dal Maso Elena
Published: August 2022

The study examined attitudes of 372 first-year bachelor Italian university students towards various aspects of foreign-accented speech. The data showed that the respondents have generally positive attitudes towards pronunciation teaching, while the most divisive statements regarded the relative importance of studying L2 phonetics and the sufficiency of comprehensibility in L2 communication. Correlations between these attitudes and the students’ biographical data were discussed. The predictor that revealed significant effects most frequently was the students’ extrinsic/intrinsic motivation in choosing foreign languages as their major.
Comparison of Ultrasound-assisted Methods for Copper Determination in Bovine and Ovine Liver as Strategies for Food Surveillance and Animal Status Monitoring
Authors: Iaquinta Fiorella , Santander Jessica , Pistón Mariela , Machado Ignacio
Published: August 2022

Four methods for the efficient extraction of copper from bovine and ovine liver were optimized. Sample preparation consisted of extractions with dilute nitric acid or dilute tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, assisted by an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic probe. Copper was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The experimental conditions were optimized using multivariate experiments. All methods were considered adequate for copper extraction, however, the two methods involving the probe turned out to be more efficient and faster, so they were selected for subsequent validation. Trueness was verified after the analysis of a certified reference material and the performance of a microwave-assisted extraction. Results were statistically equivalent, at the 95% significance level, to the values declared on the certificate. Precision (expressed as relative standard deviation) was better than 5% for all methods. Samples obtained from Uruguayan animals were analyzed. Obtained results agreed with previous results from sheep and cattle abroad. The proposed methods are simple alternatives for food surveillance and animal status monitoring, being straightforward and aligned with Green Chemistry principles, as it was demonstrated by performing the analytical Eco-Scale comprehensive approach. A discussion related to the particle size distribution obtained during the multivariate experiments was also included, to give some deeper insight into ultrasound effect on the biological tissue in different media. In addition, ultrasound-assisted extraction was compared to magnetic stirring to prove the effect of ultrasound.

Need for catalyzing senior care
Authors: Gopal KM , Kumar Shobhit , Gopal K S Uplabdh
Published: August 2022

India is witnessing a generational change. Research indicates that 12% of India’s population will be over the age of 60 by 2030. The Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) India Report pointed out that people aged 60 and above accounted for 8.6% of the total Indian population and is projected to further rise to 19.5% (319 million) by 2050. Life above 60 years runs the risk of being fraught with frailty, illness, mobility restrictions, social stigma, neglect, and abuse. To fulfil the needs for services and social protection for senior citizens, protection of their rights, and enabling them to contribute to the development process, India needs an enabling senior care ecosystem.
Synesthetic associations in the beauty products advertising texts

Published: August 2022

Synaesthesia as an implementation of sensory impact strategy in English-language advertising: psycholinguistic aspects Purpose. The purpose of the research is to expose and describe synaesthesia as a sensory impact strategy in advertising discourse through the analysis of advertising texts of beauty products in terms of binomial and polynomial synesthetic associations based on the perceptual modalities in the human sensory system. The current paper highlights the problem of influence strategy in advertising from the perspective of psycholinguistics taking into account the importance of the fact that any influence or manipulation involves a change in a person’s consciousness and is a kind of trigger for the choice of consumer. Methods. A systematic review of psycholinguistic, socio-philosophical, cultural, psychological scientific sources related to the research was conducted in the study. The methods of content analysis, component analysis and cognitive interpretation were used in the combination with descriptive analysis, observation and classification. Results. The analysis of the phenomenon of similarity in beauty product advertising allowed to distinguish a significant number of synesthetic associations either binomial or polynomial, depending on the ways of combining two or more types of sensations. The unique result of our research is the fact of existence of interconnected associations triggered by cross-modal perception of five different senses simultaneously. The dominant primary sense being appealed to in the form of verbal coding in the texts of advertising beauty products is smell. Conclusions. Advertising appeals to synaesthesia with the purpose of figuratively denoting the advertised object. In this case the main goal of advertising is not so much to name this object’s utilitarian qualities, but rather to stimulate those feelings and emotions that the object should arouse in the consumer. Sensuality, the prevalence of emotional over rational embodied in advertising, predetermines the use of emotional strategies. The synesthetic phenomenon is pushing the limits of human perception, which makes it possible to speak of synaesthesia as an important method of influencing consumers in advertising texts.
How multidimensional is computational thinking competency? A bi-factor model of the Computational Thinking Challenge (with authors' ORCIDs)
Authors: Lai Rina PY , Ellefson Michelle Renee
Published: August 2022

Computational thinking (CT) is an emerging and multifaceted competence important to the computing era. However, despite the growing consensus that CT is a competence domain, its theoretical and empirical account remain scarce in the current literature. To address this issue, rigorous psychometric evaluation procedures were adopted to investigate the structure of CT competency, as measured by Computational Thinking Challenge (Lai, 2021b), in a large sample of 1,130 British secondary school students (Mage = 14.14 years, SDage = 1.45). Based on model comparison from an exploratory multidimensional item response theory approach, the results supported the multidimensional operationalization of CT competency. A confirmatory bi-factor item response theory model further suggested CT competency is comprised of a general CT competency factor and two specific factors for programming and non-programming problem-solving. Despite the multidimensionality, the common variance is largely explained by a primary general factor of CT competency, thus the use of a single scale score is recommended. Psychometric evaluation from the bi-factor model indicated good psychometric properties of the assessment tool. Overall, the bi-factor model provides a useful approach to investigating CT competency and serves as a robust test validation tool.
A comprehensive evaluation of the longitudinal association between alcohol consumption and inflammation: Multiverse and vibration of effects analyses

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTBackground: Moderate alcohol consumption appears to be associated with reduced inflammation compared to abstinence. However, there are concerns about the impact of common variations in researcher-defined data processing and analysis parameters on this relationship. In light of this, we performed comprehensive multiverse and vibration of effects analyses to evaluate the robustness of the alcohol–inflammation association.Methods: Using the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study, the relationship between alcohol consumption in early/mid-adulthood (ages 34 and 42) and levels of inflammation marker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) at age 46 was assessed in 3101 people. Linear regression compared low-to-moderate consumption and consumption above various international drinking guidelines with an ‘abstinent’ reference. Research parameters of interest related to: definitions of drinking and reference groups; alcohol consumption measurement year; outcome variable transformation; and breadth of covariate adjustment. Results were graphically depicted, variance decomposed by parameters, and specifications within parameters compared.Results: Primary analyses were limited to those universes with occasional drinkers as reference. All universes resulted in lower levels of inflammation amongst low-to-moderate drinkers compared to occasional drinkers (1st percentile effect: -0.21; 99th percentile effect: -0.04). Estimates comparing above-guidelines drinking with occasional drinkers were less definitive (1st percentile effect: -0.26; 99th percentile effect: 0.43). Breadth of covariate adjustment, and measurement year and national guidelines used to classify drinking groups accounted for considerable effect variance. Conclusions: The association between low-to-moderate drinking and lower hsCRP levels appears robust to common variations in researcher-defined parameters. The association between above-guidelines drinking and hsCRP levels is less definitive.

Differential expression of RAB3D in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: August 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of women with breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding RAB3D, member RAS oncogene family, RAB3D, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 70 and higher, and in women aged 45 and younger. RAB3D mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of RAB3D in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with normal-like subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. RAB3D may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Getting the Brain into Gear. An Online Study Investigating Cognitive Reserve and Word-Finding Abilities in Healthy Ageing
Authors: Oosterhuis Elise , Slade Kate , Smith El , May Patrick , Nuttall Helen
Published: August 2022

Lifetime experiences and lifestyle, such as education and engaging in leisure activities, contribute to a cognitive reserve (CR) which delays the onset of age-related cognitive decline. Word-finding difficulties have been identified as the most prominent cognitive problem in older age. Whether CR mitigates age-related word-finding difficulties is currently unknown. Using picture-naming and verbal fluency tasks, this online study aimed to investigate the effect of CR on word-finding ability in younger, middle-aged, and older adults. CR for both the period preceding and coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic was measured through years of education and questionnaires concerning the frequency of engagement in cognitive, leisure, and physical activities. Linear mixed-effect models demonstrated that older adults were less accurate at action and object naming than middle-aged and younger adults. Higher CR in middle age predicted higher accuracies for action and object naming. Hence, high CR might not only be beneficial in older age, but also in middle age. This benefit will depend on multiple factors: the underlying cognitive processes, individual general cognitive processing abilities, and whether task demands are high. Moreover, younger and middle-aged adults displayed faster object naming compared to older adults. There were no differences between CR scores for the period preceding and coinciding with the pandemic. However, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on CR and, subsequently, on word-finding ability might only become apparent in the long term. This article discusses the implications of CR in healthy ageing as well as suggestions for conducting language production studies online.
Mechanisms of Change in Treatments for Transdiagnostic Emotion Dysregulation: The Roles of Skills Use, Perceived Control, and Mindfulness
Authors: Wyatt Kristin P. , Eberle Jeremy William , Ruork Allison K. , Neacsiu Andrada D.
Published: August 2022

Emotion dysregulation (ED) is a key target for change among empirically supported treatments for emotional disorders, including dialectical behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST), yet how treatments improve ED is poorly understood. Using data from a randomized trial of DBT-ST versus supportive group therapy for transdiagnostic ED, we tested whether three mechanistic variables—behavioral skills use, mindfulness, and perceived control—explain variability in ED within people over time. We additionally explored the mediating roles of these variables between conditions. Adults with transdiagnostic ED (N = 44) participated in weekly groups for 4 months, with assessments at pre-, mid-, and post-treatment and at 2-month follow-up. As hypothesized, multilevel models disaggregating within- and between-person effects indicated that skills use, mindfulness, and perceived control each had significant total and unique within-person associations with ED at concurrent time points, net the effect of time. Unexpectedly, these within-person relations were not significant for mechanistic variables predicting ED 2 months later. Further, unique between-person variability in skills use, mindfulness, and perceived control did not significantly mediate the relationship between condition and ED improvements. The present study is an important step in clarifying ED mechanisms of change, both within and between persons.
No evidence that sociosexual orientation moderates effects of conception probability on women’s preferences for male facial masculinity.
Authors: Lee Anthony J , Jones Benedict C , Zietsch Brendan P. , Jern Patrick , Connolly Henry , marcinkowska Urszula M
Published: August 2022

Although many researchers have proposed that women will show stronger preferences for male facial masculinity when conception probability is high, empirical tests of this hypothesis have produced mixed results. One possible explanation for these inconsistent findings is that effects of conception probability on women’s preferences for facial masculinity are moderated by additional factors not typically considered in these empirical tests. One such potential moderator is individual differences in women’s openness to uncommitted sexual relationships (i.e., individual differences in women’s sociosexual orientation); women who are more open to uncommitted sexual relationships might show stronger positive effects of conception probability on masculinity preferences, as their sexuality is more overt and sexual attitudes and behaviours are more diversified. Consequently, we analysed data from three independent samples (N = 2304, N = 483, and N = 339) to assess whether sociosexual orientation moderates the hypothesised positive effect of conception probability on women’s facial masculinity preferences. Analyses showed no evidence that higher conception probability increased preferences for facial masculinity or that sociosexual orientation moderated the effect of conception probability on women’s preferences for facial masculinity. While it remains possible that factors other than sociosexual orientation moderate effects of conception probability on masculinity preferences, our null results suggest that the mixed results for the effects of conception probability on facial masculinity preferences in previous studies are unlikely to be a consequence of failing to consider the moderating role of sociosexual orientation.

Published: August 2022

Impaired social functioning contributes to reduced quality of life and is associated with poor physical and psychological well-being in schizophrenia, and thus is a key psychosocial treatment target. Low social motivation contributes to impaired social functioning, but is typically examined using self-report or clinical ratings, which are prone to recall biases and do not adequately capture the dynamic nature of social motivation in daily life. In the current study, we examined the utility of global positioning system (GPS)-based mobility data for capturing social motivation and behavior in people with schizophrenia. Thirty-one participants with schizophrenia engaged in a 60-day mobile intervention designed to increase social motivation and functioning. We examined associations between twice daily self-reports of social motivation and behavior (e.g., number of social interactions) collected via Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and passively collected daily GPS mobility metrics (e.g., number of hours spent at home) in 26 of these participants. Findings suggested that greater mobility on a given day was associated with more EMA-reported social interactions on that day for four out of five examined mobility metrics: number of hours spent at home, number of locations visited, probability of being stationary, and likelihood of following one’s typical routine. In addition, greater baseline social functioning was associated with less daily time spent at home and lower probability of following a daily routine during the intervention. GPS-based mobility thus corresponds with social behavior in daily life, suggesting that more social interactions may occur at times of greater mobility in people with schizophrenia, while subjective reports of social interest and motivation are less associated with mobility for this population.
A (co-produced) roadmap for professionals to help navigate psychosocial aspects of pregnancy care after previous baby loss
Authors: Todorovic Ana , O'Higgins Aoife , Johnston Shona , Hilton Nathalie , Webster Guinevere , Kelly Brenda
Published: August 2022

The death of a baby during pregnancy, birth or in infancy is an intensely traumatic event for the mother and her family, often coupled with prolonged grief. Many women who suffer such loss go on to conceive another baby during this psychologically fragile period. Although pregnancy after loss may bring hope, it also comes with exceptionally high anxiety and distress. Pregnancy after loss is often not recognised as an acutely vulnerable time. There can also be reluctance on the part of health professionals to talk about previous loss, which means that many families are left to cope with distress on their own. Whilst many caregivers receive training in how to break bad news and support bereaved parents around the time of loss, few receive guidance on how to optimally care for parents during a subsequent pregnancy. However, if the psychosocial aspects are negotiated with skill and the right support, pregnancy after loss can be a time with significant potential for healing.This article, co-created by parents who have experienced pregnancy after the death of a baby or child and health professionals, aims to close this gap, with reflections on how trauma and grief impact women and partners in subsequent pregnancies. We offer advice to health professionals on how to navigate the complex psychological journey of pregnancy care after loss by focusing on organisational aspects as well as communication strategies that allow for a pregnancy experience with a better relationship to health professionals as well as the new baby.

Published: August 2022

Tattoos are a vivid artistic form and expressive means of cultural, social and possibly ethnic identity of the peoples of the North. The classification of tattoos of the aboriginal peoples of the North Pacific, as well as the systematization of ornamental compositions and elements, have not yet been developed, which determines the novelty of this publication. The relevance of the study is in developing a research methodology for tattoo ornament, as a special type of artistic creativity of the peoples of the North. In the study we analyze the data on main ornamental motives and compositions of tattoos of the Chukchi, Eskimos, Evens, Itelmens, and other peoples of the northeastern regions of Eurasia basing of ethnographic observations obtained by a number of researchers in the 17th-19th and early 20th centuries. It has been revealed that while the main type of ornament of the peoples of the North is represented by simple geometric figures (lines, dotted lines, geometric shapes, grids, etc.), the unique stylized anthropomorphic and zoomorphic elements preserved as well. Analysis of ideas about northern ornamental art is an urgent task, since it plays an important role in the formation of personal, cultural, ethnic and social identity of the peoples, which determines the future prospects for cross-cultural research. Additionally to the tattoo motives ornamentation techniques, tools, composition of elements and features of motifs and compositions on household items, clothes, etc. can be identified as features of ornamental art. The authors see further research prospects in verification of the techniques of ornamentation characteristics, the semantic analysis of the ornamental field as a whole.

Authors: Bajimaya Mahesh Man , Mahotra Narayan Bahadur , Shrestha Lava , Pradhan Sait , Gurung Sanyukta
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Height is used to calculating body mass index and body surface area which are used to interpret renal function tests and pulmonary function tests. The maximum vertical measurement of a person is the standing height. Arm span is the measurement between the tip of the middle finger of the right and left hands. The exact standing height of patients with abnormalities of disproportionate growth, spine deformities, skeletal dysplasia, limb deformities, amputated limb, pain, weakness or paralysis cannot be measured. In these conditions, an arm span may be used to determine the height of a person.
Objective: This study aims to determine the association of height and arm span among the medical students of Maharajgunj, Medical Campus, Nepal.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among medical students in the Clinical Physiology Department of Maharajgunj Medical Campus from November 2020 to October 2021. Non-probability, the convenience sampling method was adopted and a total of 110 participants were enrolled in the study including 55 males and 55 females. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to find the association between height and arm span. A simple linear regression test was also used to formulate the equations of height and arm span and data analysis was done using SPSS version 25.
Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between height and arm span where the total participants had r-value=0.765(p=0.00), males had r-value=0.557(p =0.00) and female had r-value=0.778(p=0.00).
Conclusions: A strong positive correlation was observed between height and arm span among the participants.
India-US Relations: In the context of the 123 Civil Nuclear Agreement
Authors: Singh Uday Pratap
Published: August 2022

Before going through the 40-page document of the Indo-US Civil Nuclear Agreement 2007, it is necessary to note that there is no such element in this agreement against India, through which the supply of fuel to the Tarapur reactor built with American cooperation should be stopped. Let the incident be repeated. Second, India should under no circumstances relinquish its right to conduct nuclear tests in future from the point of view of strategic security. Ultimately, India should not expose its nuclear weapons to international surveillance. Indian citizens and scientists were looking at this nuclear deal on the basis of these three things and they realized that it would not affect India's domestic nuclear program.
Lyngdoh Committee and Student Union Elections: A Study
Authors: Upadhyay Ankita
Published: August 2022

The Supreme Court of India, while hearing a petition filed by the University of Kerala challenging the decision of the Kerala High Court on 19 September 2005, directed the Central Government to give directions regarding the country's student union elections. Set up a high level committee headed by a judge or a former election commissioner. According to the order, the Ministry of Human Resources constituted a six-member committee under the leadership of former Election Commissioner of India James Michael Lyngdoh as per the directions of the Court. Whose main recommendations are as follows-
▪ Candidate should have minimum 75% attendance. The minimum percentage of marks should also be fixed and he should be a regular student. ▪ The candidate should not have any criminal record. ▪ The election expenses of the candidate should not exceed 5000. ▪ The candidate shall submit his audited report of expenditure details to the University/College Administration within two weeks of the declaration of result.
After the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee, a new framework for the student union elections was prepared in the universities of India, which was supported and opposed by the students. After the order of the Supreme Court, from 2007, student union elections were started in all the universities of the country on the basis of the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Committee.

El objetivo es exponer las representaciones sociales a partir de la información, el campo de representación y las actitudes sobre la profesión de la educación física y deporte que comparten educadores físicos en formación de la Universidad de Colima, México. El estudio es de carácter descriptivo y, para la indagación empírica, se utilizó un cuestionario semiestructurado que se aplicó a 166 estudiantes mediante la plataforma de Google Forms. Los resultados señalan que la información que poseen los estudiantes sobre la profesión proviene de los medios digitales, la familia, los amigos y conocidos cercanos. Se determina que el campo de representación abarca cinco imágenes de la profesión: fácil y desacreditada; alta vocación inicial; perfil de deportista y docente; entusiastas, versátiles, apasionados y comprometidos; y agentes sociales en salud, bienestar físico y valores. Respecto de las actitudes, se revela una inclinación positiva, ya que existe una vinculación directa entre la vocación por esta disciplina y los intereses personales en el camino laboral que desean tomar. Se concluye que la profesión de la educación física y deporte está subvalorada socialmente; no obstante, los estudiantes perfilan imágenes y actitudes positivas acerca de la formación y el ámbito laboral.

The purpose of research. To establish agrotechnical efficiency of technical-technological solution of Claydon seeder at sowing of industrial crops on the basis of analysis of experimental data of quality of sowing of sunflower by a tape spreading way, to define quality of sowing on a condition of crops in critical phases of growth and development of plants. Research methods. Engineering analysis of the structure. Observation and determination of biometric indicators of plants in crops based on cluster analysis of plant development. Results and conclusions. When sowing sunflowers with a Claydon seeder, compared to the control, more acceptable conditions for the development of each plant are created - the feeding area and its shape are optimized, competition and mutual shading of the leaf surface are reduced on the basis of a 56% improved aspect ratio, competition and mutual shading of the leaf surface are reduced, the competitive influence of neighboring plants is delayed for 5-7 days, the weighted average weight of the basket increases by the time of harvest increases by 10-20 %, more than doubles the preservation of plants up to the harvest period, which creates potential conditions for higher yields. Claydon seeder can be used as an alternative to precision seeders when sowing sunflowers, which, given its traditional use - sowing seeds of cereals and other crops - can significantly reduce the cost of economic entities for technical re-equipment, accelerate the pace of renewal of machine-tractor fleet the economy with modern, highly productive equipment and introduce energy-saving, innovative technologies of crop production. Keywords. Seeders, sowing methods, sowing quality, plants, biometric indicators, biological yield, machine-tractor fleet, technical re-equipment.

Abstract The lack of information on the cultivation of varieties of peas, as fodder crops, for seeds, leads to low yields of its seeds with significant losses. Purpose of research. Therefore, the aim of our research was to analyze according to the State Register of Plant varieties suitable for growing in Ukraine in 2022. indicators of seed productivity, environmental sustainability and technological suitability for mechanized harvesting of winter and spring pea varieties. Research methods. The quality indicators of winter pea varieties (Vicia villosa Roth.) And spring (Vicia sativa L. spring) were analyzed according to a set of indicators: drought resistance (scores), disease resistance (scores), pest resistance (scores), resistance to lodging (points), winter hardiness (points), resistance to seed shedding (points), seed yield (c / ha). The score was performed according to the following gradation: 9 points - the highest stability; 1 point - the lowest stability. Resistance of pea plants to such diseases as ascochitosis, rust was evaluated and pest - pea seed. Research results. As of 2022, the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine includes three varieties of winter sowing peas and 25 varieties of spring sowing peas. Among the winter pea varieties included in the State Register of Plant Varieties Suitable for Distribution in Ukraine in 2022, the highest seed yield and winter hardiness is Swan Song - 20.2 c / ha, the most drought-resistant are Swan Song and Pearl, the most resistant to disease are Neoplant variety, and before the lodging of plants - Pearl. Among the spring pea varieties, the most productive in terms of seed yield are Volodymyr - 24.5 c / ha, Ariadna, Nakhodka - 23.0 c / ha, New Belgrade - 22.0 c / ha and Bila Tserkva 10-22.8 c / ha. The most resistant to diseases are varieties Ozyryana, Pivdennobuzka, Dionis, Natalka, Ltava, Podilska rannya, Vesnyanka, Winner; before the drought - Nadiya Podillya, Podilska Rannya, Ltava, Vesnyanka, Natalka; before lying down - Ariadna, Natalka and Oziryana; before the seeds fall off - New Belgrade, Find, Ariadne, Ltava, Vesnyanka, Podilska early. Conclusions. Comparison of indicators of agroecological stability and seed productivity of winter and spring forms of sowing peas showed that in terms of drought resistance winter and spring varieties do not differ in average; in terms of resistance to diseases, spring pea varieties are 0.1 points more resistant than winter forms; resistance to lodging of the stem was 0.7 points higher in winter pea varieties than in spring forms; seed yield was 21.5% higher in spring forms, compared with winter, probably, winter peas provide higher yields of vegetative fodder base. Key words: sowing peas, seeds, varieties, productivity, ecological stability, manufacturability.
Smakując inność. Pop-etnografia jedzenia w programie podróżniczym Szokujące potrawy
Authors: Małczyński Piotr
Published: August 2022

Artykuł stanowi analizę dyskursu podróżniczego na przykładzie programu telewizyjnego Szokujące potrawy. Tekst poświęcony jest reprezentacji różnic kulturowych w mediach. Interpretacja wizerunku Innego opiera się m.in. na kognitywnej teorii metonimii. Szokujące potrawy to telewizyjny program podróżniczo-kulinarny prowadzony przez podróżnika i antropologa Jarosława Nowaka. W każdym odcinku Nowak skupia się na kuchni danego kraju (Peru, Singapuru, Wietnamu, Kambodży, Kazachstanu i Gruzji), która postrzegana jest jako obrzydliwa, egzotyczna lub dziwaczna. Podróżnik pokazuje, jak zdobywa się jedzenie, w jaki sposób jest ono podawane i zazwyczaj sam je zjada. Kuchnia służy jako metonimia lokalnej kultury. Podróżnik wykorzystuje swoją wiedzę antropologiczną do wyjaśniania różnic kulinarnych i kulturowych. Promuje także relatywizm kulturowy. Jednocześnie program obfituje w przejawy egzotyzacji Innych, ukazując lokalne społeczności za pośrednictwem „szokującego jedzenia”.
