Authors: Alexander Sonia , Belmar-George Sharon , Eugene Alisha , Elias Vanessa
Published: July 2019

Objectives. In the Caribbean country of Saint Lucia, umbilical-cord-blood screening for sickle cell disease (SCD) was the testing method that health care workers (HCWs) on the maternity wards of the hospitals preferred until the new heel prick (HP) testing method was introduced in the country in 2014. This SCD study sought to assess HCWs’ knowledge of and attitude toward HP screening and also determine new mothers’ favorability toward HP screening.

Methods. A total of 70 HCWs and 132 new mothers answered survey questionnaires in three hospitals. In addition, four focus group discussions were held, two with HCWs and two with the mothers.

Results. Among the HCWs interviewed, 85.7% of them had knowledge of the HP test. However, only 25.7% had attended training sessions on the procedure. Among the HCWs, 64.3% of them felt the HP test should be mandatory, 27.1% said it should not be mandatory, and 8.6% did not know if it should be mandatory. In their focus groups, the HCWs said they believed the mothers would accept the HP method. For their part, 22.0% of the mothers said they had heard about the HP test, and 63.6% reported knowing the reason why the baby would be tested. Further, 83.3% indicated that the test would be beneficial for the baby. In addition, 88.6% of the mothers said that more information on the HP test was needed. In their focus group discussions, the mothers said they were generally not concerned about the pain the heel prick method might cause the baby.

Conclusions. The HCWs’ knowledge of the HP screening method was high. The mothers trust HCWs, and the mothers would accept the HP procedure irrespective of their knowledge of the test and any discomfort associated with this screening method.
The Role of the Federal Budgetary Investments in Ensuring the Socio-Economic Development of Russia in 2019–2021
Authors: Alandarov R. A.
Published: July 2019

The paper describes the specifics of planning federal budget allocations for budgetary investments in 2019–2021.

The relevance of the paper is due to the fact that Presidential Decree No. 204 of May 07.2018 sets the goal for Russia to break into the top five world economies and ensure economic growth rates exceeding the world rates while maintaining the macroeconomic stability. The subject of the research is federal budget allocations for budgetary investments. The purpose of the research was to assess the volume, dynamics, structure and legal support of budgetary investments to ensure their compliance with the objectives of the socio-economic development of Russia. Based on a dynamic structural analysis of the federal budget investments as well as a comparative analysis of fixed investments in Russia and developed countries, it is concluded that there is a need to enhance the fixed asset investments by increasing budgetary investment amounts along with encouraging private investing by the population and businesses. Apart from increasing capital investments from the federal budget, it is also important to update the budgetary investment structure with a focus on the main socioeconomic development targets. The analysis of the legal regulation in the field of budgetary investments showed the necessity to refine the existing legal framework to improve the quality of the budgetary investment planning. Following the analysis of factors hindering the growth of private investing, proposals were made on to how to improve the investment climate in the Russian Federation.
Technological Breakthrough in the Modern Economy
Authors: Ivanova N. I.
Published: July 2019

The subject of the researchis factors accelerating the technological development of the country.

The relevance of the subject is due to the low level of innovation activities in the Russian economy and high dependence on technology imports in a number of the most important manufacturing and mining industries while a number of government programs to promote innovation do not yield the expected results. The implementation of the goals for accelerating the economic development and Russia’s entry into the top five largest world economies based on the technological breakthrough set forth in the May presidential decrees requires taking into account the real technological trends in the largest economies.

The purpose of the researchwas to show that the modern technological development requires building a research base for business, especially for large companies, which is in line with provisions of the economic theory developed by a number of economists from J. Schumpeter to P. Romer who substantiated the special role of business research and development under the support of the state. It is empirically proven that it is the high level of R&D expenditures that distinguishes developed countries from those less developed. The paper analyzes the scope and sectoral structure of the R&D carried out by large leading-edge corporations. The statistical data related to technological leaders and other high-tech companies was used in the research. The data was supplemented by patent statistics. The specific features of the growing technological competition between the United States and China were considered.

Published: July 2019

Data regarding determination of pesticide residues and toxic elements in edible tissues of different animals particularly in the camels in Eastern region of Saudi Arabia are scarce. Therefore, current study aimed to evaluate levels of forty-five pesticides and heavy metals (lead (Pb); cadmium (Cd); Arsenic (As)) in muscle and liver tissue samples that collected from forty-two animals; sheep (n=21), cattle (n=11) and dromedary camels (n=10) admitted to Al-Ahsa abattoir, Eastern province, Saudi Arabia. Seven of forty-five pesticides residues were detected in tissues by gas chromatographic mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The detected pesticides were organophosphorus (diazinon, profenofos and coumaphos), pyrethroid (cypermethrin, permethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin) and acaricide (amitraz). Diazinon has been detected in both muscle and liver tissues of all examined carcasses. However, other detected residues distributed according to species. All toxic metals have been detected in both muscle and liver tissues of all tested animals. The heavy metal loads were species independent. The concentrations of Pb and As in liver tissues were comparable to that of muscle tissues of all tested animals. However, the concentrations of Cd in liver were significantly higher than that in muscles of all tested animals. All values of detected pesticide residues and heavy metals were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs). In conclusion, pesticide residues and toxic metals were detected in meat and liver tissues of sheep, cattle and dromedary camels that admitted to Al-Ahsa abattoir, Saudi Arabia.  The detected pesticides residues and toxic metals were well below MRLs; thereby no risks are associated with its human consumption.Key words: chromatography; residues; toxic elements; meat; pesticides; animals

Published: July 2019

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common problem in dogs and is associated with high mortality. Early recognition of AKI is lifesaving and could help in clinical management. The purpose of this experimental study was to identify the accurate biomarkers for early detection of AKI in dogs. Ten healthy mongrel dogs (7 females, 3 males) were used in a crossover experimental study. Cisplatin (5 mg/kg BW) was used for induction of AKI. Serum urea and creatinine, as well as serum Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Bicarbonate, were measured spectrophotometrically using commercial kits. However, urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) were determined using ELISA. Renal Resistive Index (RI) was calculated using Doppler ultrasound (duplex). All examinations were carried out on the same day of induction and for other 4 consecutive days. Post-mortem and histopathological examinations were carried out on two dogs. Using the repeated measure MANOVA and student T-test, the data were statistically analyzed. There were significant increases of both serum urea and creatinine beginning from the second day of infusion, while renal RI was significantly increase beginning from the third day of infusion. There are marked changes in serum electrolytes including hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyponatremia with metabolic alkalosis. However, urinary NGAL showed a non- significant increase during the experiment.  It can be concluded that renal RI can be used for early diagnosis of acute renal injury in dogs.Key words: urinary biomarkers; renal resistive index; acute kidney injury; dogs

Authors: Alattar Reham , Abdel Alim Abdel Alim , Abdelmetal Sabry , Abdel Aziz Sayed
Published: July 2019

Glucocorticoids (GC) play a significant role in body metabolism. In the last few years, advances and highlights have been made to understand the role of oxidative stress induced by corticosteroids in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis (ON) and osteoporosis (OP) and the door for digging in GC mechanistic has been opened by the newly detection of high-affinity receptors for glucocorticoids and calcitriol in bones. The harmful free radicals produced by corticosteroid administration are strong emitters of many regulatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), nuclear factor kappa β (NF-kB) and interleukins. For this, a great attention has been directed toward the possibility of using a novel free radical scavenger like natural antioxidant, e.g. ginseng, that can be helpful in the management of ON and OP. The use of antioxidants for the management of osteoporosis characterized by many improvements in the way of control the incidence rate of ON and OP. Many antioxidants have an anti-osteoporotic effect, with an overall redox state maintenance. Also, the lipid peroxides are alleviated and the intraosseous vascular integrity within the bone marrow are repaired. Moreover, the oxidative damage of DNA is contoured. The objective of this review is to highlight the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of corticosteroid-induced osteonecrosis (ON) and osteoporosis (OP) and studying the possibility of using a novel free radical scavenger, a natural antioxidant, e.g. Ginseng, that can be helpful in the management of OP & ON.Key words: osteoporosis; osteonecrosis; corticosteroids; oxidative stress; ginseng

Published: July 2019

Pythiosis is reported to be one of the most life-threatening infections of people and animals in tropical, subtropical and temperate areas worldwide. Infection can result from ingesting zoospores of Pythium insidiosum organism or from contact with water contaminated with zoospores. The ingestion of zoospores may result in enteric pythiosis, whereas cutaneous contact with zoospores/oomycete may result in cutaneous pythiosis. Here, we report 10 horses with pythiosis introduced to our clinic. These horses were treated by excision of the lesion and application of an antifungal cream to the resulting wound. Also, we performed a meta-analysis of 214 horses, in 18 reports, affected with cutaneous pythiosis and analysed the influence of the horse’s sex, age, lesion site, and treatment on outcome. Treatment of horses in these 18 reports varied from surgical excision, topical, regional or systemic administration of an antifungal drug, immunization, or a combination of treatments. Horses with the most successful outcome were those treated by excision of the lesion coupled with systemic or topical administration of an antifungal drug. Horses treated by immunization responded the poorest. Key words: pythiosis; skin lesions; equine; surgery; Pythium insidiosum

Published: July 2019

This study was aimed to explore differences between day and night feeding of farmed European eels (Anguilla anguilla) on: (1) the growth and feeding behaviour of eels; and (2) the subsequent impact on the quality of the culture water. A 30 day field experiment was conducted in which 40 European eels (186.4 ± 9.26 g) were arbitrarily allocated into two replicate concrete ponds (200 x 100 x 125cm) that were divided into two treatment groups, one receiving feed by day (DF) and the other receiving feed at night (NF). Results revealed a significant improvement in eel's growth performance (larger final weight and faster growth) of the fish that were fed by night (NF). Moreover, feeding behaviour was also improved in the NF group with a significantly shorter latency to start feeding and shorter feeding duration. As a consequence of improved feeding behaviour, more favourable water quality conditions (higher dissolved oxygen concentrations and lower ammonia concentrations) were observed in the NF group. In conclusion, feeding eels by night could considerably enhance the culturing of eels by promoting enhanced growth and feeding behavior, and simultaneously improving water quality.Key words: feeding regime; European eel; behaviour; nocturnal feeding; growth; performance

Published: July 2019

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium that seizes the opportunity to cause serious infections in both man and animals. Pyocyanin is a strong virulence factor produced by P. aeruginosa. The present study was performed to explain the effect of salicylic acid (aspirin) and sodium chloride (NaCl) on P. aeruginosa and Pyocyanin using concentrations of 1.5%, 3% and 6% for aspirin and 3%, 6% and 9% for NaCl. The effectiveness of aspirin and NaCl was detected by real time PCR (qPCR). The P. aeruginosa isolate was from broilers suffering from septicemia in Zagazig city, Egypt. The study revealed that 6% and 9% concentration of NaCl had a bactericidal effect on the bacterium but 3% concentration of NaCl has an inhibitory effect on both the growth and the expression of Pyocyanin (by 0.5-fold lesser than the untreated sample). Also, data revealed that 1.5%, 3% and 6% concentrations of aspirin inhibited the growth and reduced the expression of pyocyanin with slight various degrees (by 0.7955, 0.4234, 0.1948-fold lesser than untreated sample, relatively). The results of this study could be useful in pharmacological intervention and clinical therapy as aspirin and NaCl could be combined with antimicrobial agents to treat Pseudomonas infections.Key words: Pseudomonas aeruginosa; pyocyanin; sodium chloride; salicylic acid

The present study aimed to identify yeasts by phenotypic, biochemical and genotypic methods. Three hundred live Oreochromis niloticus samples were collected from different locations at Kafrelsheikh Governorate, Egypt and during different seasons. Yeast isolates were identified according to their phenotypical characterization in combination with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. Two hundred and twenty-six yeast isolates from eighty diseased and two hundred and twenty apparently healthy O. niloticus samples. Isolated yeasts were Rhodotorula spp. (18.14%), Candida albicans (19.47%), Candida parapsilosis (16.37%), Candida guilliermondii (14.6%), Candida inconspicua (8.85%), Trichosporon asahii (17.25%), Geotrichum spp. (2.66%) and unidentified Ascus forming yeasts (2.66%). Yeasts most frequently isolated from gills and skin. Phenotypic methods are valuable in identification of yeasts into genera but these methods take more time. Molecular methods through the amplification of (internal transcribed spacer) ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions of fungal rRNA, followed by RFLP-PCR using Msp1 restriction enzyme allowed simple, rapid, cost-effective, sensetive and accurate identification of the phenotypically identified yeasts.Key words: Oreochromis niloticus; yeast; PCR; Msp1; PCR-RFLP

Authors: Prymachova Nataliia , Yavorska Anastasiia
Published: July 2019

The contradictory nature of the economic growth of the structural subdivisions of the global division of labor predetermines the special requirements for the development of the maritime trade market. Despite the sustainable significance of the maritime transport industry for the formation of effective foreign economic relations, there are constant systemic changes in the structure of merchant shipping. A modern feature of the functioning of the global maritime trade market and of the positioning of several shipping companies is the asymmetry of the stability parameters of enterprises and the volatility of the external conditions of their operator and investment activities. Therefore, the features of managing the stability of the positioning of individual subsystems of the marine complex are considered from the position of global needs of international trade and the efficiency of entrepreneurial activity of shipowners and operators.

RESUMO DE TCC - BIM para Gestão de Resíduos na Construção Civil
Authors: Gnecco Verônica Martins , Mattana Leticia
Published: July 2019

A indústria da construção civil destaca-se como um dos setores que mais gera resíduos. Porém, possui grande representatividade na economia do país e reflete diretamente a situação econômica e social que o mesmo se encontra. Apesar disso, ao comparar o setor com outras áreas, percebemos o quanto ainda é atrasado em questão de tecnologia. Assim, a gestão e redução dos resíduos no setor da construção civil não são adequados. O processo BIM surge como alternativa para facilitar a resolução destes problemas. Neste trabalho foram estudadas as possibilidades oferecidas pelo BIM para a gestão de resíduos, utilizando-se de um estudo de caso para fins práticos e comparativos: a obra do CRAS de Biguaçu/SC. Para o estudo, foram (a) investigadas as principais ferramentas BIM que contribuem para a gestão de resíduos, (b) analisado o caso de estudo para cada alternativa oferecida pelo BIM para redução ou controle da gestão de resíduos, (c) levantamento in loco de quantitativos de alvenaria do caso de estudo e estudo comparativo com o modelo BIM, (d) elaboração e aplicação de entrevistas com os envolvidos na obra e na modelagem desta edificação e (e) análise dos resultados e considerações finais. O processo BIM apresenta grande capacidade de análise, compilação, organização e registro de informações para a gestão de resíduos, ainda subutilizados na construção civil brasileira, principalmente na etapa de execução de obras. Destaca-se também a importância da colaboração entre as equipes envolvidas, para o sucesso da gestão de resíduos através do processo BIM. Pelos resultados obtidos, infere-se que o BIM na gestão de resíduos deve ser melhor estudado e aplicado pelas empresas responsáveis pelos projetos de arquitetura e engenharia, evitando obras custosas financeira e ambientalmente

The Idea of the Posthuman: A Comparative Analysis of Transhumanism and Posthumanism
Authors: Kriman A. I.
Published: July 2019

The article discusses the modern philosophical concepts of transhumanism and posthumanism. The central issue of these concepts is “What is the posthuman?” The 21st century is marked by a contradictory understanding of the role and status of the human. On the one hand, there comes the realization of human hegemony over the whole world around: in the 20th century mankind not only began to conquer outer space, invented nuclear weapons, made many amazing discoveries but also shifted its attention to itself or rather to the modification of itself. Transhumanist projects aim to strengthen human influence by transforming human beings into other, more powerful and viable forms of being. Such projects continues the project of human “deification.” On the other hand, acknowledging the onset of the new geological epoch of the Anthropocene, there comes the rejection of classical interpretations of the human. The categories of historicity, sociality and subjectivity are no longer so anthropocentric. In the opinion of the posthumanists, the project of the Vitruvian man has proven to be untenable in the present-day environment and is increasingly criticized. The reflection on the phenomenon of the human and his future refers to the concepts that explore not only human but also non-human. Very often we can find a synonymous understanding of transhumanism and posthumanism. Although these movements work with the same modern constructs and concepts but interpret them in a fundamentally different way. The discourse of transhumanism refers to the Cartesian opposition of the body and the mind. Despite the sacralization of technology and the desire to purify the posthuman from such seemingly permanent attributes of the living as aging and death, transhumanism in many ways continues the ideas of the Enlightenment. For posthumanists, the subject is nomadic and a kind of assembly of human, animal, digital, chimerical. Thus, in posthumanism the main maxim of humanism about the human as the highest value is rejected – the human ceases to be “the measure of all things.”
Philosophical Foundations of the Humanitarian and Technological Revolution
Authors: Ivanov V. V. , Malinetsky G. G.
Published: July 2019

The articles discusses the philosophical foundations and the traditions of the theory of the humanitarian and technological revolution (HTR). The subject-matter of HTR theory is the description and forecast of the transition from the industrial to the post-industrial phase of civilization development as well as the strategy and the most effective methods of management of various socio-economic systems. This theory, actively developing in recent years, focuses on goal setting and on determining priorities and development criteria in the field of technology, science and education. The current revolution largely justifies the forecast of D. Bell, an author of the theory of post-industrial development, about the transition from the world of technology to the world of people. The human is the main subject and object of the changes. In this regard, we review an interdisciplinary program on human research, initiated in the 1980s by I.T. Frolov. The ongoing scientific revolution in genetics and the transition to autoevolution make these ideas even more relevant. The concept of universal evolutionism proposed by N.N. Moiseev is fundamental. This concept originates from philosophical and methodological generalizations based on the vast experience of computer modeling of “human-dimensional” systems. The principles of co-evolution of man and biosphere, the strategies for finding compromises are very close to the ecology of technologies, developed by the theory of HTR. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the interdisciplinary concept of self-organization for many scientific fields and, in particular, for the theory of HTR.  In our days, proposed by an outstanding mathematician, methodologist and thinker S.P. Kurdyumov, the interpretation of synergetics as a bridge between humanities and natural science, as a common language of natural scientists, mathematicians, scholars has become generally accepted. Kurdyumov predicted that many concepts and ideas of synergetics, through their philosophical understanding, would change the outlook and become an element of scientific culture. We show that this forecast turns into reality and in the process of HTR the ideas of synergetics begin to change our world. We pay special attention to the concept of self-developing systems, the theory of global scientific revolutions and the types of scientific rationality proposed by V.S. Stepin. In this regard, we can say that the HTR brings even more large-scale changes, covering not only science but also technology, society, the inner world of man. Identifying the philosophical foundations of HTR, we contribute to the development of methodology of this approach, enhance intra-scientific reflection and make possible to formulate unsolved problems more accurately.
La creación y utilización educativa de artefactos identitarios
Authors: Esteban-Guitart Moisés , Llopart Mariona
Published: July 2019

El propósito de este ensayo es ilustrar la noción de artefacto identitario a través de dos ejemplos que suponen vincular el currículum y la práctica educativa con la subjetividad del aprendiz. Por artefacto identitario entendemos cualquier producto elaborado por el estudiante (textual, visual, multimodal) en el que invierte en su producción sus particulares experiencias, ámbitos de interés y aspectos que para él o ella son significativos, y que el docente utiliza con finalidades pedagógicas para optimizar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Después de situar el concepto de artefacto identitario a partir del principio de la significación de Vygotski según el cual la creación y utilización de signos y símbolos para regular nuestra conducta es aquello que define los procesos psicológicos superiores; se exponen y discuten dos ejemplos que pretenden ilustrar cómo se puede utilizar, con fines educativos, dichos artefactos identitarios. Se considera, en la sección de discusión y conclusiones, que dichos artefactos identitarios pueden convertirse en artefactos educativos que permitan poner en relación las experiencias y contextos de aprendizaje dentro y fuera de la escuela.
¿Se programa por competencias en educación física en secundaria? Perspectiva de un grupo de profesores de la comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Zapatero Ayuso Jorge Agustín , González Rivera María Dolores , Campos Izquierdo Antonio
Published: July 2019

El objetivo de este estudio es conocer en profundidad cómo se programa por competencias en los Departamentos de Educación Física. Participaron un grupo de profesores de Educación Secundaria de la Comunidad de Madrid, hombres y mujeres, con entre 1,6 y 22 años de experiencia profesional. Estos profesores ejercían la docencia en cuatro centros educativos diferentes que pertenecían a la Dirección de Área Territorial Madrid-Capital, Madrid-Este, Madrid-Norte y Madrid-Sur. La metodología empleada fue cualitativa. Se triangularon las técnicas de análisis de contenido, grupo de discusión y entrevistas. Los datos fueron analizados con Atlas.ti siguiendo algunos de los procedimientos del modelo de “Teoría Fundamentada”. Los resultados del análisis de contenido sugieren que los participantes parecen no programar por competencias. Este elemento curricular fue incorporado de forma superficial en sus programaciones de Departamento y no sirvieron como elemento vertebrador de estos documentos. Los participantes corroboraron estos resultados y sostuvieron que la contribución a las competencias se produjo inintencionadamente cuando se abordaron otros elementos curriculares como los contenidos. Parece preciso que los participantes se impliquen, reflexionen e impulsen su formación para poder abordar procesos de programación por competencias que favorezcan que el enfoque llegue a implementarse en sus contextos
