Modernization man: the significance of Ronald Inglehart's theory for the social sciences
Authors: Savelyev Yuriy , Shestakovskyi Oleksii
Published: December 2021

Ronald Inglehart, an outstanding political scientist, passed on May 8, 2021. This article attempts to pay tribute to him as a scholar and a person by narration of his theory and its significance. The authors emphasize that the idea of sociocultural modernization was central for him. His theory’s humanism is that a human and their motivational changes become a core of global modernization transformation. A concise account of Inglehart modernization theory is given from changes of social economic conditions and security to basic values shift to increase in freedom of choice and its institutional consolidation. Noted that despite of Inglehart being liberal and progressist, his theory is just scientific, but not a normative knowledge or an ideological conception. Its propositions have been tested multiple times with the data from the largest survey project ever, World Values Survey together with European Values Study. We recognize organizational merits of Inglehart who established and coordinated this survey project and a big community around it for a long time. We consider the place of his theory to be among other academic theories of global development like those in historical macrosociology and institutional economy. An attempt is made to learn lessons for Ukraine from Inglehart theory. Ukraine has not demonstrated a considerable shift to self-expression values, and objective conditions for it are unfavorable at the moment. In fact, an “economic miracle” and a long peace are needed for this. Conceptually, a coherent integration of the modernization theory and economic institutionalism is needed. Translation and popularization of Inglehart’s work, as well as wider usage of data from values surveys remain topical for Ukraine. After all, Ronald Inglehart himself deserves to be a scientist role model for us.
The rights of children from Gypsy/Traveller and Roma backgrounds in Scotland
Authors: Riddell Sheila
Published: December 2021

The Scottish Government has a strong commitment to strengthening children’s human rights, with the aim of making Scotland ‘the best place to grow up and bring up children’. The Education (Scotland) Act 2016 introduced a raft of measures to boost the rights of children with additional support needs (ASN). The programme for government in Scotland, published in September 2020, included a commitment to incorporate the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child into Scottish domestic legislation. In order to examine the extent to which the rights of Gypsy/Traveller children are being respected in practice, this paper draws on an analysis of official statistics conducted as part of an ESRC funded project entitled Autonomy, Rights and Children with Special Needs: A New Paradigm? (ES/P002641/1), which ran from 2018 to 2020. In addition, the paper uses findings from an Independent Children’s Rights Impact Assessment which was carried out in summer 2020 with a view to investigating the impact of the emergency measures implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. Under the terms of the Coronavirus Act 2020, schools across the UK were closed, with widespread implications for children and young people, particularly those with additional support needs. The central aim of this paper is to explore the impact of the emergency measures on the recently enhanced rights of children with ASN, with a particular focus on the rights of children from Gypsy/Traveller backgrounds. I conclude that people living itinerant lives experience long-standing exclusion from mainstream schooling and wider society, and their marginal status has been reinforced during the recent pandemic when children’s human rights have been side-lined.
CORPO-MENTE, AFETOS E EDUCAÇÃO: ENCONTROS SPINOZIANOS
Authors: Lobo Huanderson Barroso , Aguiar José Vicente de Souza
Published: December 2021

O artigo foi motivado por afecções spinozianas, sobretudo mediante o encontro com sua obra Ética, publicada após sua morte, em 1677. Na sua trajetória de discussão, a temática Educação não aparece como preocupação explícita; porém, observamos que ele procurou pensar a vida por meio do modo corpo na imanência, cujo conhecimento é o mais potente dos afetos. Ao entendermos que a vida se faz também pela educação, buscou-se estabelecer a relação entre corpo, mente, conhecimento, afeto e educação, tendo como referência principal a obra mencionada de Spinoza, na articulação das leituras de Deleuze a respeito daquele. Para tanto realizou-se o mapeamento das concepções de corpo-mente, de vida e de afecções. Pelos encontros, percebeu-se que as naturezas das afecções, ou são favoráveis para aumentar sua potência de ser e agir, ou para sua diminuição. Os resultados indicam que o corpo não é um módulo regido somente pela dimensão cognitiva e guiado pelas reações sinápticas, induzidas pelos estímulos respostas, mas pela articulação corpo-mente, indissociavelmente. Conclui-se que no processo de Educação, seja escolar, seja no mundo da vida, o corpo aluno precisa ser envolvido em encontros adequados, alegres, a fim de que lhe aumente a potência de ser, pensar e agir, cuja essência de ser possa ser expressa na transição do primeiro para o segundo gênero, com vista ao terceiro gênero do conhecimento, algo correspondente também a uma preocupação com a vida na sua essência.
Can risk of sarcopenia predict poorer quality of life in hemodialysis patients?
Authors: Landim Sâmia Marques Lourenço , Santos Paulo Roberto , Cardoso Kailane Martins , Sousa Luciana Abreu , Santos Victor Lavinas
Published: December 2021

Background: Sarcopenia and low quality of life (QOL) are widely found among hemodialysis (HD) patients. We aimed to verify whether risk of sarcopenia can predict QOL level in patients submitted to HD.

Methods: The sample was formed by 147 chronic kidney disease patients undergoing HD in October 2020 at a single dialysis center.  Demographic and clinical data were collected. Risk of sarcopenia was classified using the SARC-F questionnaire. QOL was evaluated by the Brazilian version of the SF-36. QOL scores were compared between patients with and without risk of sarcopenia. Multivariate linear regression was performed to test risk of sarcopenia as an independent predictor of QOL scores.

Results: There were 62 (42.2%) patients classified as having risk of sarcopenia. In the comparison of QOL scores between patients with and without risk of sarcopenia, scores of seven dimensions were significantly lower among patients with sarcopenia risk, the only exception being role-emotional. Risk of sarcopenia was an independent predictor of six dimensions of QOL, except for role-emotional and mental health.

Conclusion: We found risk of sarcopenia to be an independent predictor of QOL among HD patients. Our results point to the possibility of improving patients’ QOL by intervening to minimize the risk of sarcopenia.
The role of zinc oxide nanoparticles in water supply and drainage of ecological buildings
Authors: Song Lijuan
Published: December 2021

To meet the needs of ecological buildings, it is necessary to improve the speed of sewage treatment. Therefore, this study analysed the impact of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the water supply and drainage of ecological buildings. In the experiment, zinc oxide nanoparticles were selected and the experimental environment was set up to study the treatment effect of nanoparticles on water supply and drainage wastewater. The experimental results show that: the application of zinc oxide nanoparticles in water supply and drainage can effectively remove trace elements in sewage and reduce the eutrophication of groundwater; zinc oxide nanoparticles can change the morphology of mould groups in sewage and inhibit the growth of sewage. The application of zinc oxide nanoparticles in the water supply and drainage of ecological buildings can effectively improve the water purification rate and improve the recycling efficiency of water resources.
Pilares químicos de la vida
Authors: Moreno-Londoño María Eugenia
Published: December 2021

Las teorías sobre el origen de la vida han centrado su interés en dos premisas. Una con acento metabólico: ¿por qué átomos individuales se unieron mediante fuerza de atracción para originar moléculas con propiedades específicas? Y otra con acento en la aparición de la información celular: ¿por qué estas moléculas tejieron la estructura de una célula para formar organismos independientes con capacidad de replicarse y autorreproducirse? Si bien muchas teorías han desarrollado modelos teóricos y experimentales para hallar algunas respuestas, aún no se ha dicho la última palabra en relación con la aparición de la vida en el planeta. No obstante, la comprensión biológica de un ser vivo parte de una ruta deductiva. La unidad es la estructura y forma externa, visible y macroscópica de cada organismo. Ese todo que se deshilvana en sus partes internas; sistemas que conectan órganos; órganos formados por tejidos; tejidos construidos por células especializadas; células que toman vida por biomoléculas ensambladas; biomoléculas que son construidas por átomos amalgamados mediante enlaces químicos. Del ser macroscópico al mundo microscópico de átomos. Esa infinitamente pequeña estructura atómica o bioelementos que iniciaron todo lo materialmente conocido y lo que falta por conocer. Así que el inmaculado acercamiento al universo material permite comprender el invisible mundo atómico que forjó, en un sustrato acuoso o caldo primigenio, la génesis de sustancias inorgánicas, sales minerales y algunos gases; y sustancias orgánicas que confluyeron en la creación de organismos propiamente dichos. Todos los seres vivos del planeta Tierra están conectados, en lo más profundo de su jerarquía, por bioelementos que se han mantenido más o menos uniformes desde la aparición de la vida.

Limiting the admissibility of the form of an administrative decision
Authors: Szremski Jakub
Published: December 2021

The admissibility of applying an administrative decision will be limited if this procedural form cannot be used in certain situations – where the legislator has excluded the possibility of issuing an administrative decision and replaced it with other non-procedural activities – material and technical activities. This limitation will also occur in the case of the so-called administrative power shifted in time, where the individual with his substantive legal activity will shape his entitlement – without the necessity of imperious interference by public administration bodies.
Conciliaristic sources of the modern legal concepts based on the thought of Matthew from Cracow
Authors: Tomasiewicz Marcin
Published: December 2021

The article aims to present the background of changes in the transition from medieval fief property to more individualized modern model. Conciliarism is considered to be an important factor supporting these changes. The conciliarist idea was presented on the basis of De squaloribus Curiae Romanae by Matthew from Cracow. Fiefdom ownership has been characterized as a legal construct where private legal rights are combined with the prerogatives of public authority. In turn, modern property resembles more structures known from Roman law, which are characterized by far-reaching sovereignty in disposing of property rights. In the course of the argument, it was shown that the issues determining the changes in the area of private law were the conciliarist ideas, such as the superiority of the Ecumenical council’s authority over the pope, the binding of public authority by law, and the separation of private law from the prerogatives of public authority.
Between the novel’s frame and the novel of the frame
Authors: Regiewicz Adam
Published: December 2021

The definition of the novel's frame has been familiar to literary researchers since the appearance structural theory. They are defined by the compositional norm or form of expression or the boundaries in which the plot is located. In all these approaches, the frame is only a reference point for artistic expression. At the same time, since the 1970s, there has been a clear turn towards autothematicism in literature, accompanied by a postmodern type of narrative, focusing on this context. The narrative itself and the narrator's self-awareness play a kind of game with the reader. From the theoretical point of view, it is the frame on which the recipient focuses. On the example of Łukasz Orbitowski's book Cult, the article shows this mechanism of shifting attention to the frame of expression.

Authors: Matijašević Danka , Pantić Milena , Stanisavljević Nemanja , Jevtić Sanja , Rajić Nevenka , Lević Steva , Nedović Viktor , Nikšić Miomir
Published: December 2021

Research background. In the recent years, considerable attention has been given to selenium status since its deficiency is linked with various disorders and affects at least 13 % of world population. Additionally, mushrooms are known to possess pronounced capacity for absorption of various micronutrients, including Se, from soil/substrate. Here, we investigate the possibility of using Se-rich zeolitic tuff as a supplement for production of selenized mushroom. Furthermore, the impact of the enrichment on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and biological potential of Coriolus versicolor medicinal mushroom is studied.
Experimental approach. Se(IV)- and Se(VI)-modified natural zeolitic tuff from the Serbian deposit Zlatokop was used as supplement for mushroom cultivation. To examine the effectiveness of selenium enrichment, we determined total selenium with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), together with the activity of antioxidant enzymes in fresh fruiting bodies and biological potential of methanolic extracts. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the appropriate tests for: inhibition of lipid peroxidation, DPPH free radical scavenging assay, Fe(III)-reducing antioxidant power assay and ability of chelating Fe2+ ions. The antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens was measured by broth microdilution assay. Additionally, chemical composition of the prepared extracts was studied using UV-Vis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
Results and conclusions. Content of selenium detected in biofortified C. versicolor was even 470 times higher than in control on dry mass basis ((140.7±3.8) vs (0.3±0.1) μg/g), proving that Se-rich zeolitic tuff is an excellent supplement for mushroom production. Furthermore, the results of monitoring the activity of antioxidant enzymes revealed that most of the Se-enriched mushrooms exhibited higher superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and lower glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities than control. Due to higher amounts of enzymes, which can quickly catalyze the reduction of superoxide radicals, the quality of selenium-enriched mushrooms is preserved for a longer period of time. Investigation of biological potential indicated that Se-enriched mushroom methanolic extracts, generally, expressed enhanced antioxidant properties. Additionally, extracts
showed antibacterial activity against all tested pathogenic microorganisms.
Novelty and scientific contribution. Cultivation of mushrooms on Se-enriched zeolitic tuff is a new technological approach for obtaining Se-fortified food/supplements with enhanced antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
Fifty years of Bryology in Mexico
Authors: Delgadillo-Moya Claudio
Published: December 2021

Background: Mexican botanists were not involved in bryophyte research fifty years ago; only four small floristic contributions were published between 1942-1958.
Questions: What has been learned in the last fifty years? How many bryophytes are there in Mexico? What are the contributions by Mexican scientists?
Studied species: Bryophyte flora.
Study site and dates: Mexico, between 1942-2021.
Methods:  Bibliographic compilations were used to revise the status of bryophyte research in Mexico. Data for the last fifty years cited there and in an updated version of Latmoss served to determine the current knowledge of Mexican bryophytes as contributed by Mexican scientists. No thesis research was considered unless published in a scientific journal.
Results: There are 16 species of Anthocerotophyta, ca. 600 of Marchantiophyta, and 997 Bryophyta in Mexico. At least seven phytogeographic elements are represented: Northern, Meso-American, Caribbean, Southern, Wide distribution, and Endemic. Highlights of Mexican research include the discovery of Hypnodontopsis sp., a Miocene amber fossil from Chiapas, identification of heavy metals deposits in urban mosses in Mexico City and Toluca, determination of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Pseudocrossidium replicatum , and the potential use of recombinant proteins from Physcomitrella patens .
Conclusions: Taxonomic and floristic studies should be continued along with the bryological exploration of the country. Conservation is urgent, but studies of drought tolerance, air pollution, climate change, and potential uses in medicine require support and collaboration from other scientists.

Counter-narratives of achievement at South Africa's first apartheid-era black medical school, 1950s to the early 1990s
Authors: Noble Vanessa
Published: December 2021

This article examines the construction and dissemination of two particular achievement narratives - one focused on high academic standards, the other on a Black Consciousness-inspired "Black pride" - that were produced by academic staff and students at the University of Natal's Medical School, South Africa's first apartheid-era black medical school in the highly racialised context of the 1950s to early 1990s. While quite different in terms of their producers and periods of origin, the article argues that both these narratives developed with a similar purpose: as counter-narratives, which intended to critique or challenge the pervasive and disparaging apartheid-era discourse that portrayed black South Africans as inferior. Indeed, both these narratives sought, in their own respective ways, to enable those producing them to reframe the dominant apartheid discourse, to offer alternatives, including more positive views about black South Africans, and to take an oppositional stance. Yet, while both developed as counter-narratives, they did so with different emphases and stances taken to challenge apartheid, highlighting the complexity of these narratives. In addition, this article examines how both these narratives could sometimes, in particular historical moments, overlap in time and even amalgamate, leading to the construction of hybridised narratives.

Published: December 2021

El consumo energético asociado al sector de la industria representa el 38 % de la demanda de energía a nivel global, siendo un aspecto importante que marca el desarrollo de un país. En este sentido, es sumamente importante diversificar las distintas fuentes de energía e incorporar el uso de fuentes renovables de energía, como la solar, no solamente con la idea de asegurar el suministro energético, sino también considerando como elementos que permitan la reducción de las emisiones generadas por el uso de combustibles fósiles. El presente trabajo aborda las principales tecnologías de colectores solares que pueden ser incorporadas a distintos tipos de industrias, basado en experiencias e investigaciones en otros países. Sobre la base de esta revisión, se ha visto que una buena parte de las industrias a nivel mundial requieren temperaturas en sus procesos hasta los 250 °C, lo que hace idóneo el uso de esta tecnología. En función de cada industria, se podrán usar colectores solares de placa plana, de tubos de vacío, del tipo Fresnel o cilindro parabólicos. Por último, se detallan los ahorros asociados a algunas instalaciones y se abordan los desafíos relacionados con este sector.
Distinctive Features of the Object of Smuggling of Strategically Important Goods and Resources
Authors:   Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Zaigraeva Vladislava K.
Published: December 2021

The aim of the study is to consider issues related to the definition of public danger and the object of smuggling of strategically important goods and resources as a crime under Article 226.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the positions of individual researchers on these issues. The methodological basis of the research was formed by the general scientific theory of knowledge; the method of comparative analysis and the logical-legal method of cognition were also used. The latter was used for a more accurate understanding of the norms of Russian criminal legislation, their analysis, as well as for the interpretation of the main provisions reflected in the legal literature. As a result, the author questions the correctness of the placement of the smuggling of strategically important goods and resources in Chapter 24, Crimes Against Public Security, of Section IX, Crimes Against Public Security and Public Order: in cases of smuggling of strategically important goods and resources, the procedure for movement established in the international treaties and legislation of the Russian Federation always suffers directly, while, taking into account the possibility of further distribution of smuggled objects in the event of an untimely suppression of these objects' illegal movement, public security is only endangered but does not suffer directly. The legislator establishes the qualification of smuggling of strategically important goods and resources in large volumes as exceeding one million rubles, which confirms that the public danger of this crime is determined by economic indicators. The author proves that smuggling of strategically important goods and resources harms public relations in the economic sphere rather than public relations that ensure public security. The conclusion is formulated that the totality of social relations that ensure the normal functioning and development of the economy should be considered as the main generic object of this crime. The direct object of smuggling of strategically important goods and resources is the procedure established by the international treaties and legislation of the Russian Federation for moving strategically important goods and resources through the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union or the state border of the Russian Federation with the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. Criminal liability for smuggling of strategically important goods and resources is proposed to be provided for in a separate article, which should be placed in Section VIII, Crimes in the Economic Sphere, of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
The Soviet Pushkin: Pushkin's Substratum of Aleksey N. Tolstoy's Self-Mythmaking of the 1930s
Authors:   Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P. Astafiev, Chekushin Vikentiy V.
Published: December 2021

The aim of this article is to review Aleksey N. Tolstoy's self-projections on the figure of Pushkin, seen as the most important classic author in the USSR during the 1930s. The material for the study was the writer's journalism and program speeches - it was in them that he most actively appealed to the Pushkin myth. Such appeals allowed Tolstoy to assert his special status in the Soviet literary hierarchy. In his articles and public speeches, the writer actually declared himself the heir of Pushkin, since both, each in his own era, created a “new literary language” based on historical documents. The category of language was important since the discussion about it became one of the key ones in determining the main aesthetic features of the emerging socialist realism. Pushkin, relying on folk speech, created a new “living” literary language opposing the “academic” elegant phrase of nobility (works by Turgenev, in Tolstoy's opinion, later became the peak of this style). Tolstoy, in turn, also saw his own merit in the discovery of a “new” language - the language of Soviet literature in his case. According to Tolstoy, both Pushkin and himself, relied on historical documents that reflected “authentic common people's” language in the process of creation. When writing, e.g., The Captain's Daughter, Pushkin used documents about Pugachev's Rebellion; while Tolstoy, creating Peter the Great, employed torture protocols of Peter's era, the so-called “Slovo i Delo”. As a result, the succession scheme was built in the following way: “common people's language” with almost a thousand years of history - Pushkin (the creator of a “new” literary language based on common people's language) - Tolstoy (the author who modernized these traditions and created a normative Soviet literary language based on them). These rhetorical techniques allowed the Comrade Count to increase his status in the Soviet literary hierarchy. On the one hand, he used the symbolic potential inherent in the Pushkin myth (the culmination of the poet's canonization was the commemoration of 1937); on the other hand, the figure of Pushkin, in relation to whom the word “great” was used, was constantly projected on Stalin. In the end, even despite a biography which was dubious from the point of view of the authorities, by the mid-1930s, Tolstoy, indeed, received the status of the main Soviet author. This situation was evidenced, for example, by a cartoon where the writer alone was depicted on the upper deck of the “steamship of Soviet literature”. Besides, at the funeral of Gorky, Tolstoy, along with Stalin, carried the coffin of the “proletarian writer”, as if occupying the “empty” place after the death of his predecessor. The important role in obtaining this status was played by Tolstoy's regular and consistent efforts to create his own writer's reputation based on the figure of Pushkin.

AN INVESTIGATION OF SELF-EFFICACY AND PERCEIVED BENEFIT BELIEFS REGARDING DISTANCE EDUCATION OF PRESERVICE TEACHERS AS FUTURE IMPLEMENTERS
Authors: BAŞER Derya
Published: December 2021

The current study aims to explore self-efficacy and perceived benefit beliefs of preservice teachers regarding distance education according to their experiences as future implementers of distance education from an undergraduate distance education course they received. A case study was employed including both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The participants of the current study were 143 preservice teachers who had completed a distance education course during their undergraduate program at a university in Turkey. Quantitative data were collected through two, five-point, Likert-type scales, with one that assessed self-efficacy towards distance education and one that assessed perceived benefit beliefs regarding distance education. Qualitative data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire. Descriptive statistics results from the scale data revealed that the mean scores for the constructs of self-efficacy and perceived benefit of distance education ranged from 3.66 to 4.07. Correlation analysis results indicated that the preservice teachers’ self-efficacy towards distance education was significantly related to their perceived benefit from distance education, r = .56, p < .01. The preservice teachers mentioned positive aspects of their distance education course under (1) Contribution of the course to the preservice teachers’ knowledge and skills development for technology integration, (2) Contribution of the course to the preservice teachers’ knowledge and skills development for designing effective distance education, (3) Positive features of the distance education course, and (4) Positive features of distance education in general. The preservice teachers stated negative aspects under (1) Issues related to common course components, and (2) Issues related to technology. The research results and implications are presented and discussed within this study.

Authors: Nabi Husein , Lelisa Diriba
Published: December 2021

The present activity was conducted at Keta Berenda kebele of Dodola district of West Arsi Zone of Oromia in 2019 cropping season with the objectives to evaluate cluster-based pre-scaling up fodder oat mixture with vetch, collect farmers’ opinion on the performance of the technology, improve farmers’ knowledge and skill of application of the improved technology through training and increase local capacity for future scaling-up. Keta Berenda kebele was purposively selected from the district based on the livestock population potential and accessibility. Thirty-one farmers (24 males and 7 females) who had the willingness to accept and disseminate the technology and possess adequate land for forage production were selected in cluster form and established as 1 FREGs in collaboration with development agents of the Kebele. Fourteen trial farmers were nominated from the members for forage establishment. The technology was established on a land size of 2.945 ha with all recommended agronomic practices. The training was given for 20 farmers and 3 development agents on; forage production, management, and utilization practices. 8.01 t ha-1 biomass yields were obtained from an oat-vetch mixture. Hence, the technology should be further promoted on a wide scale to address the feed shortage scarcity of the study area.
libertades comunitarias como fundamento del derecho a la asistencia sanitaria transfronteriza. ¿Cómo se justifica este derecho tras el brexit?
Authors: Álvarez González Elsa Marina
Published: December 2021

Este trabajo aborda el derecho a la asistencia sanitaria y el acceso a las prestaciones sanitarias en la UE antes y después del brexit. Este fenómeno ha cambiado las relaciones de la UE y los Estados miembros con Reino Unido, y ello ha afectado tanto a los derechos de los ciudadanos británicos en otros Estados miembros de la UE como a los de los ciudadanos de otros Estados residentes en el Reino Unido o que quieran desplazarse a él. Nosotros nos vamos a centrar en el derecho a la asistencia sanitaria transfronteriza, primero por ser este un derecho especialmente complejo en la UE que encuentra su fundamento en la necesidad de garantizar las libertades comunitarias de libre circulación y libre prestación de servicios. Algo que al producirse la retirada de Reino Unido de la UE pierde toda justificación y, segundo, por ser España uno de los destinos preferentes para los británicos tanto para hacer turismo como para trasladar su residencia una vez alcanzada la edad de jubilación.

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-amyloidosis) is a systemic progressive fatal disease, for which a modifying therapy has recently been proposed that delays the progression of the disease and improves the patient’s quality of life. The delay in the diagnosis of ATTR-amyloidosis is associated with the heterogeneity of the manifestations of the disease, as well as insufficient awareness of doctors of different specialties about the disease. A review of recent studies on the symptomatology, diagnosis, molecular genetic characteristics of ATTR-amyloidosis and the most common forms of the disease with the predominant involvement of peripheral nerves and the heart, as well as the kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and eyes is presented. The international consensus recommendations for the diagnosis of suspected ATTR-amyloidosis using modern methods that facilitate early and accurate diagnosis are discussed. The reasons and the most frequent misdiagnoses of ATTR-amyloidosis, which also lead to a delay in the timely appointment of therapy, are considered. Molecular genetic testing should be considered early in the evaluation of a patient with unexplained peripheral neuropathy and cardiomyopathy. A diagnostic algorithm based on the initial symptoms and manifestations of the cardiovascular and nervous systems facilitates the identification of a patient with clinical suspicion of ATTR-amyloidosis by the general practitioner. Early diagnosis is critically important for patients with ATTR polyneuropathy, since the early prescription of Vindakel (tafamidis), registered in the Russian Federation in 2017, allows a significant clinical effect to be obtained. Timely administration of Vindakel significantly slows down the progression of the disease, improves the prognosis and quali  ty of life in patients with ATTR polyneuropathy.

Published: December 2021

Aymé–Gripp syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in the MAF gene and is characterized by a pronounced phenotypic polymorphism. The core of clinical signs consists of congenital cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss, specific dysmorphic facial features and intellectual disabilities. With varying frequency, patients have: radioulnar synostosis, Arnold–Chiari malformation, aseptic pericarditis, dental anomaly and osteoarthritis. The article presents the clinical and genetic characteristics of the first Russian patient with Aymé–Gripp syndrome caused by a newly identified mutation s.173C>A (p.Thr58Asn NM_005360.4) in a heterozygous state in the MAF gene. The influence of the lo  calization and type of amino acid substitutions in the protein product of the gene on the severity and specificity of the clinical manifestations of the syndrome is discussed.

Com a intenção de reduzir o uso de insumos químicos, a agricultura orgânica tem crescido de forma considerável. Entretanto, em áreas contaminadas seu desenvolvimento é vetado, sendo necessário um longo período de descontaminação. Uma forma de acelerar este processo é a utilização de biorremediação, que consiste no emprego de micro-organismos vivos, na degradação de pesticidas. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar o isolamento de micro-organismos com potencial biorremediador de solos contaminados por três herbicidas, e o efeito destes sob os micro-organismos do solo. Para isso, foram realizados testes que consistiram na determinação da emissão de CO2 pela atividade biológica do solo. O feito dos contaminantes sob a população microbiana foi avaliado por meio da determinação dos índices de Shannon, Simpson e Pielou. O potencial dos isolados como agentes biorremediadores foi determinado pela avaliação da capacidade de crescimento dos micro-organismos em meio BDA líquido contaminado. Foram isolados 32 micro-organismos, sendo 18 bactérias e 14 fungos. Deste total, seis isolados fúngicos e seis bacterianos foram empregados. O isolado fúngico UERGS-FNI6 demonstrou grande capacidade de se desenvolver em meio líquido contaminado com os herbicidas glifosato e atrazina, tendo seu crescimento estimulado em ambas as situações. Isso também foi verificado para os isolados fúngicos UERGS-FNI4 e UERGS-FNI1 que também tiveram seu desenvolvimento estimulado pelos herbicidas atrazina e glifosato, respectivamente. Quanto aos isolados bacterianos, o UERGS-BNI3 apresentou crescimento satisfatório em meio líquido contaminado por Imazetapir, demostrando ser resistente a este contaminante, e com potencial para o uso como biorremediadores de solos contaminados com herbicidas.
Historia y anacronía: El «Diario de noticias sobresalientes de Lima» (1700-1711) y la muerte de un rey
Authors: López Parada Esperanza
Published: December 2021

El Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y noticias de Europa, primera de las publicaciones periódicas peruanas que se conoce, se abre con la conflictiva muerte del rey Carlos II o, más bien, con los avatares de la llegada de su noticia; porque, de hecho, esta llega a Nueva España casi cuatro meses después de producirse la defunción y acompañada de la nueva de la jura de su sucesor, lo que asegura la continuidad de cara a las colonias, mientras en Europa los países implicados se hundían en una larga guerra sucesoria. Pero en Perú la noticia, mucho más tardía puesto que se confirma en mayo, se acompaña en cambio de una carta de enero del nuevo monarca, avisando de ataques holandeses e ingleses a las Indias, carta de aviso muy anterior al conocimiento de su proclamación, lo que solo añade más incertidumbre y una especie de caos cronológico con la que se las tendrá que haber el discurso. La historia debe siempre ser reescrita porque ella misma cambia, según Kosseleck, pero ¿qué tanto de cambio obedece a la propia redacción?, ¿cuánto de modificación introduce el hecho de enterarse tarde? A partir de esa condición demorada de la noticia americana, el presente artículo se propone estudiar los desarreglos temporales, las relegaciones y desórdenes de sentido en el texto periférico virreinal y en la recepción en concreto de la noticia de la muerte del rey, así como los mecanismos narrativos con que el Diario de noticias sobresalientes pretende solventarlos o, más humildemente, sobrellevarlos.

Respiratory insufficiency in premature children
Authors: Kosov М. N.
Published: December 2021

Pathology of respiratory system plays a significant role in morbidity and mortality of premature neonates and it means that searching of new and remodeling of existing methods to diagnose and treat respiratory insufficiency (RI) is of particular importance. We evaluated a new method of an early preclinical diagnosis of RI based on using of capnography assessment of end- tidal CO2 concentration, which makes possible to propose a leading pathophysiological mechanism of RI. Using of the gradient between end-tidal and capillary CO2 concentrations helps to predict development of serious ventilation-perfusion mismatch when it exceeds 2O mm Hg. So, in the treatment of RI in neonates individualized therapy should be used, based on the assessment of the leading pathophysiological mechanism.

This paper presents data on the new location of the moss Ptilium crista-castrensis (Hedw.) De Not, which is listed in the Red Data Book of the Samara Region on the territory of the nature reserve Racheyskie Rocks in the Syzran district. 10 of its coenopopulation loci have been identified and the exact geographic coordinates are given. For the first time the exact coordinates of 11 coenopopulation loci are also named for the holarctic mountain-forest relict fern Polypodium vulgare L., which is also protected at the regional level, both of these species have a mosaic structure of coenopopulations confined to confluent sandstones as a substrate for growth. It has been revealed that the ecological preferences of these species are very close, however, Polypodium vulgare is more shade-tolerant and it can be called a scioheliophyte, in contrast to the heliophyte Ptilium crista-castrensis. The Polypodium requires more humid and shaded conditions for its normal existence. When growing in the forest-steppe zone, where humidity is often a limiting factor, Ptilium crista-castrensis and Polypodium vulgare can form a significant projective cover (more than 30%) only in the northern and northeastern exposures of the substrate, but only with an enhanced light regime in the phytocoenosis at the density of the stand that is not more than 0,3.
