«Невидимі» бар’єри соціальної нерівності: передумови відтворення у дошкільній і початковій освіті
Authors: Nechitaylo I. S. , Minko A. V.
Published: May 2019

Статтю присвячено розгляду бар’єрів соціальної нерівності, що відтворюються в освіті, зокрема на її початкових рівнях. Встановлено, що результати більшості сучасних соціологічних досліджень свідчать про те, що успіхи в освіті та соціальний статус, що досягається через деякий час після закінчення навчання, залежать від соціального походження індивіда. Зауважується, що така залежність свідчить про недієвість легальних механізмів соціальної мобільності, зокрема тих, що закладені в основу функціонування інституту освіти. Оцінено вплив факторів нерівності, що є мало вивченими в соціології. З опорою на праці зарубіжних соціологів, виявлено «бар’єри», що мають місце в системі освіти, сприяють відтворенню соціальної нерівності і перешкоджають вертикальній соціальній мобільності. Особливу увагу приділено науковому осмисленню одного з них, який пов’язаний із відмінностями у мовних і когнітивних кодах, носіями яких є діти – вихідці з різних соціальних прошарків. Надаються авторські тлумачення термінів «мовний код» і «когнітивний код». Наводяться результати досліджень, проведених за участю авторів у 2013–2015 роках, що підтверджують наявність і розкривають механізм дії зазначеного бар’єру. За результатами досліджень доведено, що ступінь розвиненості когнітивних кодів, хоча і залежить від фактору соціального походження, зокрема від роду професійної діяльності матері як найважливішого агенту первинної соціалізації, все ж таки стиль роботи педагога значною мірою впливає на розвиток когнітивних кодів. Робиться заключний висновок про те, що дотримання вчителями демократичних засад спілкування і діалогічності освітнього дискурсу, спрямованість викладацьких методик, перш за все, на когнітивний розвиток учнів (а не на завантаження їх пам’яті інформацією) дозволить зняти один із фундаментальних бар’єрів нерівності в освіті, що закладається ще на перших освітніх сходинах – на рівні загальної дошкільної та початкової шкільної освіти.
Medical service as a part of everyday life of workers of the ferrous metallurgy enterprises in the first half of 1950s.
Authors: Melnyk A. M.
Published: May 2019

The aim of the study is to analyze medical aid given to the workers of ferrous metallurgy enterprises in the first half of the 1950s. Primary medical unit provided medical aid for workers of the ferrous metallurgical enterprises. Because of the lack of medical unit at the metallurgical plant or because there was no medical institutions in the organizational structure of the medical unit, local medical institutions provided the workers with medical care. During the first half of the 1950s, was the problem of the lack of medical staff in the medical institutions caused by insufficient material and household support. It did not allow implementing the shop principle of medical service of metallurgists. At the enterprises, individual shops did not have a factory’s sectorial doctor, or the number of workers assigned to a factory’s sectorial doctor exceeded the norm. Because the local hospitals, which controlled the health post at the ferrous metallurgy enterprises of the Zaporizhzhya region, were placed at a considerable distance, ‘the shop principle’ was not implemented there at all. The personnel problem also affected the formation of queues, which were a characteristic feature of the medical care provided to the workers. Work overload of physicians led to a quick examination of the patients, resulting in mistakes in the diagnosis. Contrary to accepted laws aimed at improving the quality of diagnosis, the periodic medical examinations of workers were not always carried out qualitatively, and the medical examination was carried out in a number of plants partly. In the first half of the 1950s the enterprises of the ferrous metallurgy of Zaporizhzhya region had a problem that the medical institutions were on a far distance and the percentage of patients needed medical help reduced. Lack of hospital beds had caused the untimely hospitalization of patients that prevented recovery of their. Many of the medical institutions were located in the old or non-specialized buildings with limited space, stove heating and primitive food units, without household premises and sewage. Characteristic of the medical services of metallurgists were depreciation of the material fund of medical institutions, lack of medicines, medical equipment. Not all medical institutions were provided with ambulances. There were cases of refusal to leave for a challenge or untimely provision of emergency care. It was concluded that the level of medical services given to the metallurgists in the first half of the 1950s was insufficient, despite the fact that they were workers of one of the leading branches of the Soviet economy.
The concept of education: logical and philosophical boundaries
Authors: Shatalovych A. M.
Published: May 2019

The author of the article analyzes the problem of logical and philosophical boundaries of the concept of «education». This topic is urgent and requires a philosophical explication. It has a connection with the problem of the correlation of concepts: «education», «teaching» («learning»), «upbringing». The author systematizes the main variants of this relationship. As a result, the author suggests three main schemes. The first scheme has one component. Consequently, the concepts of «education», «teaching», «upbringing» are identical. This scheme has several options. The first option has such characteristics: education and teaching are identical, knowledge and mental development take precedence, the upbringing plays a minor role. The main characteristics of the second option: upbringing is a pedagogical concept that forms a system. Upbringing has a wide (social) significance. The first scheme (for example) is «upbringing teaching», modern higher learning, upbringing of a «new» person in the USSR. The second scheme contains two components. The concepts of «education», «training», «upbringing» are not identical. Training and upbringing are interrelated, but they are not identical. The concept of teaching has a connection with modeling, schematization and the creation of learning situations. Learning has a connection with intellectual development and a semiotic basis. The concept of upbringing has a connection with the immediate experience of the situation. Upbringing has a connection with moral qualities and an axiological basis. Teaching solves the problem of preparing children for life. Upbringing solves the problem of including children in life. Consequently, education has two subsystems: teaching (learning) and upbringing. The first and second schemes are common. The third scheme is new. It consists of three components. The concept of education includes three concepts: «teaching», «upbringing» and «development». This scheme may be of interest to researchers, but it needs to be refined (logical and terminological aspects).
Naturalizing Self-Consciousness: The representationalist approach of F. Dretske
Authors: Kryvitchenko O. O.
Published: May 2019

The article discusses the problem of self-consciousness, which was first articulated by G. Fichte, and which refers to explaining a conscious self-reference without falling into an infinite regression when self-consciousness is implied but not explained. Analyzing S. Shoemaker’s linguistic approach to self-consciousness, the author asserts that the key feature of self-consciousness is a conscious self-reference. However, after considering Shoemaker’s arguments, the author claims impossibility of solving the problem of self-consciousness solely by means of a linguistic analysis.Therefore, the author refers to two bottom-up proposals aiming to solve this issue: the approach of non-conceptual forms of self-consciousness developed by J. Bermúdez and the conception of self-consciousness pre-reflective form coined by D. Zahavi. The article states inadequacies in both approaches and asserts the need to identify self-consciousness in non-intentional (in terms of phenomenology), non-semantic, and non-mental concepts - that is, in a naturalistic way that meets the requirements to naturalism put forward by L. Baker. For this, the author suggests referring to representationalism, in particular to, the works of F. Dretske, and trying to ground the theory of self-consciousness in his statement that representations do not require «self», a principle that spontaneously organizes mental activity and carries out all intentional acts.The author concludes that the approach of Dretske avoids an endless regression or circular way of explanation. However, the very project of naturalization of self-consciousness, based on a non-linguistic, naturalized form of representation of a cognitive system that does not contain «self», can not exist without taking into account the first-person perspective. One of the possible solutions to this problem is the assumption of a metaphysical relation everyone has to himself. However, the author stresses the need for further clarification and agreement with the theses of strong representationalism.
Information and communication strategies of eurointegration in Ukraine
Authors: Kostenko A. M.
Published: May 2019

Information is a key aspect of the European integration process in Ukraine. Ukrainians support the Euro-integration course, but note that they haven’t enough information about the European Union, the existing European programs, the implementation of the Association Agreement, etc.The author identified the main stages of informational support for Euro-integration of Ukraine: a stage of discussion of the advantages of European integration and specific benefits of Ukraine; information pressure stage; a stage of increasing information anxiety and increasing tension in society; the stage of a sharp protest public information reaction of society; the stage of renewal of the course on European integration and strengthening of information and communication support.The analysis of target audiences shows that different socio-demographic groups in different ways have information about the peculiarities and nature of the relationship between Ukraine and the EU.The public authorities have primary responsibility for informing citizens about European integration, but they do not possess the methodological and practical tools of information campaigns. Therefore in the article analyzes the peculiarities of the mechanisms of informing in the Concept of realization of the state policy in the field of informing and establishing communication with the public on the urgent issues of European integration of Ukraine for the period until 2017 and the Strategy of Communication in the field of European integration for 2018–2021 years. These documents are the mechanism for the division of responsibility for conducting information policy on European integration (including financial) between public authorities and interested non-governmental organizations, international donors and business structures. In this regard, the role of public institutions whose task is to inform Ukraine’s European integration processes and work with different target groups, on the one hand, and the establishment of communication between government and civil society in the planning and implementation of information campaigns on European integration on the other, is increasing.The local authorities have sufficient tools to influence public opinion, but often ignore the issue of European integration. In addition, an important condition for the implementation of the Strategy at the regional level is the establishment of cooperation between local authorities and public organizations.
Public deliberative discourse as an instrument for political modernization
Authors: Demyanenko O. O.
Published: May 2019

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of public deliberative discourse as one of the leading instruments for political modernization. The emphasis is placed on the fact that deliberative communication became possible in practical terms as a result of consolidation of postmodern as a world outlook. It is emphasized that deliberative discourse is a communicative act of equal members, aimed at achieving a compromise in the form of a concrete public decision. The author argues that deliberative discourse contributes to the strengthening of civil society, which, in turn, acts as a kind of trigger for political modernization. After all, the consolidated community is better aware of its own interests, properly formulates common requirements and communicates them to the state and other political institutions. Deliberation offers a new interpretation of rationality, legitimacy, publicity, etc. Public policy is a sphere of partnership interaction of public entities, including the state as a carrier of political power and civil society as a carrier of communication power. It is systematically proved that deliberative discourse has a complex effect on the political system, which is objectified at the level of its individual components. Political modernization is understood as the logical existential deployment of the political system, which states the dynamics and denies the static of the latter. In the course of a deliberative discourse, changes take place in the political consciousness of a citizen, emotional expressions turn into logical and rational beliefs. It is argued that inclusiveness, equality and transparency of deliberative measures allow a citizen to become an active actor of public policy, suggesting a new political culture. Changing values provokes a new way of action. Therefore, a delibearative political culture leads to a new format of political relations – cooperation. As a result, a number of changes take place at the institutional level (the public administration model and its tools are updated). That is how the paradigm of good governance is strengthened and the e-governance method is activated. Modernization measures at the level of political consciousness and culture, political relations and institutions with necessity lead to the improvement of the normative and legal basis for the functioning of the political sphere of public life.

Purpose. To study the features of socio-cultural adaptation of young people in the Ukrainian student environment. To justify the leading role anthropogenetics factor in the processes of adaptation in modern society. To highlight the importance of individual, social and spiritual in the development of youth society. Theoretical basis. Taking into account the ambiguity of the goal, the following methods were used in the study: the system method, the methodology of complex socio-cultural research, the method of ascent from the abstract to the concrete, inductive and deductive methods, anthroposociogenetic method. The system method was used to achieve in the theoretical and cognitive basis of understanding the relationship of the main categories of research: «socio-cultural», «adaptation», «socio-cultural adaptation», «socialization», «mentality», «spirituality», «disadaptation”, «social and cultural exclusion». The methodology of complex socio-cultural research, authored by E. R. Borinstein, was used to obtain comprehensive socio-cultural data on the groups studied at the beginning, during and at the end of the study. The method of ascent from concrete to abstract was used, based on the need to move from the analysis of the conceptual apparatus and the theoretical essence of the problem to a specific study of the problems facing Ukrainian students, multicultural in nature and in need of effective methods of social adaptation to the constantly transforming conditions of existence in the new socio-cultural environment. Anthroposociology method, based on the originality and independence of thought of the person allowed to reveal the spiritual-existential essence of Ukrainian students, identify its transcendental characteristics. The scientific novelty of the results is that for the first time in the Ukrainian socio-philosophical thought developed and conducted a comprehensive study of the features of socio-cultural adaptation of foreign youth, which is part of the Ukrainian students to the ever-changing socio-cultural environment. The results of the study provide an opportunity to deepen knowledge about the value orientations of modern youth, to create a model of socio-cultural adaptation in a constantly transforming society. Summary. Social and cultural adaptation of foreign students in case of complex (social, cultural, economic, psychological and political) solution of the issues is the most effective. Further implementation of the project will help students to effectively adapt to the new socio-cultural conditions of their lives and improve the quality and level of education of students, providing a highly motivated mastery of knowledge, skills and abilities. The proposed set of measures to study the effective adaptation of students is one of the steps to solve this problem in a wider range of socio-cultural adaptation of different groups of Ukrainian society.
Hope as a means of social identity
Authors: Masіuk Oleh
Published: May 2019

The article describes the main aspects of the formation of identity in the process of creating hope through temporal migration of the self and multi-vector identification. Temporal identification defined as the totality of the possibilities of awareness of the self-participation of the participant of hope in social time. The author of the article emphasizes the importance of a joint future as a component of social identity. Collective integrity comes from the presence of a dominant vector for the prospect of further coexistence.The basic components of identification in the hope are the formation of the «I» regarding age-related changes and the formation of the «I – Others» interaction, which is revealed in the complex of the self, role and tribal identification. Special attention should be paid to the problem of transferring the ideas of the Council of Trent to the non-religious plane, which envisages the creation of a «factory of hope» based on the use of the interaction «identity – otherness». The self is the search for the hero of the future in himself through the behavior of others, which allows identification and finding within the limits of the living space now. It is the means and the ultimate goal of hope, which moves man to the edge of the desired being.As a result, in the process of analyzing identity, the sensual and mental components of hope highlighted, which serve as the basis and evaluation modification of awareness of the relationship «people – the world of the future». The intelligible identity of social hope given by meaningful images of the future, even when using a different operational tool of mental activity.It has been determined that carriers of social hopes may encounter non-identity, which manifests itself in apotropy in relation to the projection of the future, other designers and the conditions of the surrounding public environment. The benefits of this study are to determine the direction of overcoming the barriers of apotropy by transferring the identification intention, which should enrich the content of hope for the holistic perception of future changes and their proper adoption.
Professional and personnel risks in social work
Authors: Yevdokymova Iryna
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of professional and personnel risks in social work. From the end of the twentieth century in management theory personnel is the main resource of an organization and the determining factor of its success. Moreover, the issue of professional and personnel risks is becoming increasingly important in analyzing modern organizations. At the same time, social-oriented non-profit organizations engaged in social work do not pay much attention to analyzing and developing strategies to prevent professional and personnel risks compared to commercial organizations. Professional risks are risks that associated with a professional activity and that directly affect the personality; they are capable to change personal behavioral and emotional reactions to certain events. The professional risk of social work in the article refers to the risk of professional deformation, the risk of «burnout syndrome», the risk of «professional fatigue». Personnel risks are the negative consequences in functioning of an organization because of activity or inactivity of its personnel. For example, the most likely personnel risks in social work are the risks associated with the recruitment, selection and selection of personnel; personnel adaptation risks; motivation risks; risks of inefficient use of staff, etc. Consequently, to prevent professional and personnel risks in non-profit social-oriented organizations engaged in social work the article proposes the following: supporting for the employees initiative; exchanging of experience both inside and outside the organization; creating opportunities for career advancement and development; creating opportunities for changing activities; psychological training for employees; training activities to monitor and effectively allocate personal resources; corporate events and leisure activities. In practice, all these measures should be comprehensive and used at the individual, group and organizational levels, relate to professional and personal characteristics of employees of non-profit social-oriented organizations engaged in social work. Moreover, the head of a particular non-profit social-oriented organization engaged in social work must develop the unique strategy of professional and personnel risks management, taking into account its specific conditions.
The main features of virtual modeling as the dominant type of modeling of social reality of the Postmodern period
Authors: Okorokova V. V.
Published: May 2019

The article is sanctified to consideration of virtual design within the limits of gnosiological philosophical analysis. An author pays attention to priority exactly of this variety of design of social processes in постмодерном society, as a form of constructing of new social reality, characteristic for нашого time. It was set that in the basis a virtual design contains the imitation of social reality by means of computer technologies. A computer imitation with multidimensional visualization gives an opportunity realistically to show motion, represent properties of the real object. The main feature of virtual design here is that the created artificial environment not simply imitates an object, and allows to the man to take part in him. Virtual helmets, digital gloves and suits, that provide access to virtual reality, убыстряют and do most effective репрезентативное property virtual.A question got a further study that the technical equipped of virtual design moves apart the scopes of the traditional system of design by analogy to the concrete real article of imitation. Advantage of virtual design is a that circumstance, that virtual reality allows to construct not only an object but also situation, that does not have a prototype in realities, as totality of futurism searches, and in this case they come forward as prognosis project that offers a certain model as alternative.Consequently, marked by us conceptual foundations of sociokul’turnoy transformation of modern sociumu (swift development informatively communicative technologies, that conduces to the change in the system of perception / cognition of social reality through the prism of simulyakriv, acquiring the specific value, forming of simulyakrnoy consciousness, directed on producting of these appearances of simulyakriv, which form hyperreality as personal touch of virtual reality) allow to assert that virtual design it is the dominant variety of postmodernistskogo design of appearance of new social reality, that fully grounded from position of ontological and gnosiological grounds. A subsequent slope is conditioned these the research in the sphere of virtual design, that allows to find out the next personal for him touches.An author pays attention to that circumstance, that virtual design, thus comes forward the form of cognition / of constructing of surrounding social reality. The processes of virtualization of society assist deepening of perception of the surrounding world through a prism virtual, of simulation real, what accents attention on a necessity for modern science on a virtual design.

AIMS: Evaluate satisfaction and adjustment to the prosthesis of individuals with lower limb amputation.METHODS: Participants were 24 patients with lower limb amputation with 46,1±17,5 years and using the prosthesis for 10,8±8,7 years. A card was used to characterize the individuals and the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) to evaluate satisfaction and adjustment to the prosthesis. Data were collected from institutions that serving amputees in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% significance level.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the results of the PEQ between individuals when compared to the level of amputation and time using the prosthesis. Regarding the scores between groups with vascular and traumatic amputation, was a significant difference in residual limb health subscale, with higher scores and consequently better health of the residual limb in amputees with vascular causes, besides better higher scores on the scale of satisfaction in these individuals.CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that patients with a vascular cause of amputation are more satisfied with their prosthesis, with the way they walk and how things are from amputation and also have better health of the residual limb in relation to individuals with traumatic amputation. However, the level and time of amputation do not seem to influence the satisfaction and adjustment of the prosthesis.
Direitos culturais e tolerância: um diálogo entre Habermas e Forst como pressuposto para uma teoria da justiça
Authors: Hamel Marcio Renan
Published: May 2019

Por meio de uma análise reconstrutiva da filosofia político-jurídica de Jürgen Habermas e de Rainer Forst, bem como com auxílio de literatura secundária, são analisados os conceitos de direitos culturais e tolerância. O objetivo da presente pesquisa é visualizar como Habermas e Forst desenvolvem os referidos conceitos. Para este fim, o artigo é dividido em duas seções, a partir de uma justificativa introdutória da investigação dos objetivos traçados. A primeira seção trata da questão que envolve os direitos culturais, seu significado, evolução e maneira de efetivar sua garantia. A segunda seção aborda o conceito de tolerância, que Habermas trabalha enquanto necessidade procedimental a partir de direitos subjetivos a iguais liberdades de ação, enquanto Forst o trabalha a partir de uma concepção como respeito ao outro, em que será essencial o princípio de justificação da justiça, amparado no uso público da razão. Ao final, as últimas considerações apontam para o fato de que Habermas mantém seu edifício teórico da década de 1990, trabalhando a possibilidade de tolerância e a garantia de direitos culturais a partir de procedimentos democráticos e de justiça política, nos quais normas e leis devem ser racionalmente aceitas em uma cultura política compartilhada. Já Forst busca um rumo prático-normativo, em que a razão prática requer pessoas razoáveis e autônomas moralmente, trabalhando a necessidade de justificação por via procedimental.
Ecocentrismo e ética biocêntrica: a filiação filosófica dos direitos da natureza
Authors: Lourenço Daniel Braga , Oliveira Fábio Corrêa Souza de
Published: May 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar a filiação filosófica dos denominados direitos da natureza. A questão central deste texto é saber se é procedente afirmar que a concepção da natureza enquanto titular de direitos significa rompimento com a ética Antropocêntrica e, entre as correntes da ética Ambiental, qual delas está alinhada com tal perspectiva. Apesar de ser comum a tese de que os direitos da natureza denotam uma posição biocêntrica, este artigo conclui que a posição filosófica que realmente identifica esta formulação é a da ética Ecocêntrica, o que não significa, a rigor, afastamento ou superação do antropocentrismo. investigam-se autores referenciais para a problemática, bem como a legislação constitucional do Equador e da Bolívia. indaga-se também a fundamentação que justificaria reconhecer direitos à natureza, mas não reconhecer direitos aos animais. A metodologia adotada implica análise da bibliografia basilar acerca do tema, que é basicamente de origem estrangeira: europeia, estadunidense e sul-americana. A importância do tema está no exame jusfilosófico da virada paradigmática proposta pela ética Ambiental, notadamente pela ética Animal. Atribuir direitos à natureza significa rever essencialmente os critérios tradicionalmente empregados pelo Direito para o reconhecimento de direitos subjetivos.
Hermenêutica e desconstrução: a conciliação de Paul Ricoeur e a aporia de Jacques Derrida
Authors: Coelho Carlos Cardozo
Published: May 2019

Este artigo pretende apresentar a diferença entre a hermenêutica e a desconstrução e mostrar a implicação de cada uma destas formas de entender o fenômeno do sentido na relação da filosofia com as outras “disciplinas” do pensamento. Para isso colocaremos dois pensadores em embate direto, a saber, Jacques Derrida e Paul Ricoeur. Enquanto Paul Ricoeur, com seu projeto hermenêutico, tenta encontrar uma (re)conciliação entre os diversos saberes das ciências humanas com a metafísica, em uma época em que o estruturalismo e a psicanálise emergiam e questionavam conceitos como “consciência” e “sentido”, Jacques Derrida radicaliza esses movimentos de crítica que animavam as ciências humanas e tenta pensar para além dos conceitos tradicionais, propondo seus quaseconceitos e formulando sua gramatologia.

Despite its recognition since the early 1900s, the agamid lizard Pseudocalotes austeniana remains known based on 3 vouchered specimens only from the East Himalaya, and little is known about its general biology. During herpetological surveys of Tibet, China, we collected 3 specimens of P. austeniana from Medog County, southeastern Tibet, including the first juvenile specimen ever vouchered. We provide a detailed description based on new material of this enigmatic species, report on a range extension of 400 km northeastward from its type locality, its ontogenetic shift, and clutch size.
Investigation of SCC characterizations incorporating supplementary cementitious materials
Authors: Alipour Pedram , Behforouz Babak , Mohseni Ehsan , Zehtab Behnam
Published: May 2019

An experimental study was performed to assess the effect of metakaolin (MK) as supplementary cementitious material (SCM) and limestone powder (LP) and nano-titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2; NT) as mineral admixtures on the pore structure, mechanical and durability of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The fresh-state performance was evaluated by slump flow, T 50, V-funnel and L-box tests, and hardened-state parameters were analyzed through compressive strength, water absorption, density and electrical resistivity. Furthermore, permeability was analyzed by means of the rapid chloride permeability test and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Using additives resulted in improvement of rheological properties and compressive strength. Additionally, the density and electrical resistivity of SCC mixes containing SCMs and NT were higher than those of the control SCC mixes. Low absorption and permeability values were obtained for the mixes containing 5% NT. The results herein reported suggest that replacement ratios of 15% MK, 10% LP and 5% NT can be considered as optimal from a cost–benefit point of view in terms of fresh- and hardened-state performance. Predictive models for the hardened properties analyzed have been obtained using artificial neural networks (ANNs). ANNs have been proven an appropriate alternative method for predicting the hardened properties of SCC mixes.

Published: May 2019

Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) has
various uses worldwide. Plants, also called as guar, are used in industry,
animal feeding and green pods are used as fresh vegetable in some countries. This
research is the first study in Turkey carried out about nutritional composition
of edible cluster bean lines. Ten
edible guar lines selected from mixed populations supplied from abroad through
singlet selection between the years 2011-2015 under Çanakkale provincial
conditions were experimented in this study. Green pod yield, yield
components and nutritional attributes of 10 guar lines were investigated with
field experiments conducted in two years (2016-2017). Statistical assessments
were performed for green pod yield, number of pods per plant, single pod
weight, pod length, pod width, crude protein, digestible protein and dry matter
ratios. Green pod yields per plant varied between 63.70 - 81.34 g; number of
pods per plant varied between 18.78 - 25.98. Although there were numerical
differences in yields of harvests, such differences were not found to be
significant. Single pod weights of the guar lines varied between 2.91 - 3.76 g
and differences in single pod weights of the guar lines were found to be
significant (p<0.01). Pod lengths varied between 10.86 -12.43 cm and pod
widths varied between 1.31-1.32 cm and differences in pod length and pod widths
of the guar lines were not found to be significant (p>0.01). Crude protein
contents of guar lines varied between 14.38 - 17.22% DM and differences were
not found to be significant; digestible protein contents varied between 65.40 -
75.25% CP and differences were found to be significant (p<0.01). Dry matter
ratios of the green pods varied between 15.92 - 21.16% and the differences in
dry matter ratios were not found to be significant (p<0.01).

Considering the correlations among the investigated traits, it was
observed that green pod yields had significant positive correlations with the
number of pods per plant, pod weights and pod lengths (p<0.05). Pod weights
decreased with increasing number of pods (p<0.01); decreasing dry matter
ratios were observed with increasing pod weights and pod lengths. A similar
change was also observed in digestible protein contents based on crude protein
contents (p<0.05).
PRECOCIOUS PUBERTY AMONG GIRLS IN SULAIMANI: CAUSES AND ANTHROPOMETRIC FEATURES
Authors: Albassam Hayder , Tayib Tara , Hasan Adnan
Published: May 2019

Background 

Girls who reach puberty early can fail to reach their expected final height. In addition, they are prone to negative psychological behavior and there is an association with the future development of other negative health outcomes such as diabetes and heart disease.

Objectives 

To determine the causes of female patients with precocious puberty and address some anthropometric features of the studied patients.

Patients and Methods

Data of 63 female patients who presented with signs and symptoms of puberty before the age of 8 years between the years 2012 and 2018 were collected and analyzed to find the percentages of certain etiologies and features and compare them to similar studies conducted in other countries.

Results

Central idiopathic precocious puberty (CIPP) was the major diagnosis for the cases and other causes were identified. Causes from the most prevalent to the least prevalent include premature adrenarche, premature thelarche, functional ovarian cysts, and brain tumors. The study also showed a significant relationship between the body weight represented by Body Mass Index (BMI) at the time of presentation and the incidence of central idiopathic PP. Moreover, patients with premature adrenarche also had significantly higher BMI than their peers with normal puberty timing. In addition, the mean height at the time of diagnosis of the PP patients, in general, was significantly higher than their peers with a normal onset of puberty. Furthermore, the heights of the patients with CIPP is significantly negatively correlated with the age at which symptoms of puberty appeared. Finally, the bone ages of girls with PP with the different etiologies were significantly higher than the chronological age. 

Conclusion

Precocious puberty in girls is an important condition in Sulaimani and it has different etiologies. Central idiopathic precocious puberty is the most common etiology. Girls with PP tend to be significantly taller at the time of the diagnosis, have heavier weights and have more advanced bone ages than the normal population.

Objetivo: Conocer la validez y fiabilidad de la ecografía musculo esquelética en la valoración del tendón de Aquiles. Conocer los hallazgos ecográficos típicos en el tendón de Aquiles, tanto sano como lesionado.Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibilográfica desarrollando una búsqueda en PubMed que abarcó trabajos desde 1984 hasta el 30 de enero de 2018 Se usaron los siguientes términos: “Ultrasound achilles tendon”, “Ultrasound triceps surae”, “Achilles tendinopathy ultrasound”. Se incluyeron artículos en base a su calidad metodológica, relevancia científica, aportación de una visión novedosa y su utilidad clínica.Resultados: Se encontraron artículos sobre la validez y fiabilidad de la evaluación del tendón de Aquiles, así como de estructuras próximas, con ecografía músculo esquelética. También se encontraron artículos sobre los hallazgos en la imagen del tendón de Aquiles sano y lesionado. Conclusiones: La literatura parece confirmar que la ecografía músculo esquelética es un método valido y fiable para evaluar la tendinopatía aquilea. Existirían diferencias ecográficas entre tendones sanos y lesionados, y no parece diferenciarse éste entre lesión crónica y desgarro interno. El engrosamiento tendinoso y la neovascularización deberían tenerse al diagnosticar la tendinopatía aquilea, pero su simple presencia no determinaría la severidad clínica.

Objetivo: El fibroqueratoma periungueal adquirido es un tumor fibroepitelial benigno, con escasa incidencia a nivel del pie. Es una tumoración cubierta de piel hiperpigmentada con hiperqueratosis en su porción distal, de consistencia firme e indurada, y tamaño variable, que oscila entre los 3 y los 15 mm. de diámetro. Material y métódos: Presentamos un varón de 6 años de edad, con una tumoración de 0,4 x 0,5 cm, dolorosa compatible con fibroqueratoma periungueal adquirido a nivel del hallux. Dada la edad del paciente, hay que realizar diagnóstico diferencial con tumor de Köenen. Resultados: Tras la resección quirúrgica según técnica de colgajo en bandera, el estudio histopatológico confirma la sospecha clínica. Conclusiones: El fibroqueratoma periungueal adquirido, es una entidad clínica e histológica bien definida y muy característica, cuyo diagnóstico puede realizarse con toda certeza y su tratamiento definitivo se realizará por medio de la escisión definitiva de la lesión.

This paper will feed the readers about the social right in the colombian caribbean zone aimed at analyzing the RSE models used by the companies with great investments budgets in Cartagena city which before starting any search process to take advantage of the natural resources in their territories had to ask for the social rights shared in previous searches. (agreements 169 de 1989 de la Organización internacional del trabajo -OIT- y la Ley 21 de 1991) to guarantee the afrodescendent´s minorities participation for their ethnic and cultural protection. The analysis has to do with this population most important social business, the fullfilment of the community gestion through previous pools and the company view as value creator. Also, the theories set in RSE and the latin American contexts are based on the survey approach used by the companies for this study. Due to the state abandonment and the RSE model developed by the companies in this study and the approach as a very used model by the Latin American energy mining companies and its application from the analyzed companies view have overcome the legal aspects enshrined in the agreements and are in line with RSE in each of them have as results to highlight The true fact that these communities have found a solution in the agreements of previous consultation to their unsatisfied basic needs.

This article presents a measurement of the effect that the Economic Complexity and the Product Complexity have on the export competitiveness of the department of Magdalena. The method used was an economic model of panel data in three dimensions. The results show that, the export competitiveness of the department become higher as the economic complexity is greater, this relationship is exponential. On the other hand, competitiveness increases when the product complexity is greater, a lower product complexity does not contribute much to competitiveness, it could even affect it negatively; on the other hand, a negative product complexity may increase competitiveness, but it is not advisable to bet on these products since the economic complexity of the territory is not increased. It is recommended to develop a policy of industrial and agroindustrial development, taking into account the closest and most sophisticated goods to the real product system of Magdalena.

Background: Increasing introduction of innovation technologies into medicine and pharmacology makes it possible to modify and develop further the methods of the development of new medicines. Such methods include virtual screening. In this article approaches to building software for virtual screening of nitric oxide (NO)scavengers in an important class of azaheterocyclic compounds are discussed.Methods: During the study period (from October 2017 to January 2019) the methods for the evaluation of antioxidant activity, as well as quantum-mechanical and statistical calculations were conducted. Quantum-mechanical calculations on HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) energy and LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy descriptors have been conducted using program complex WinMopac 7.2.Results: Evaluation methods of antioxidant activity, quantum-mechanical and statistical calculations have been presented. The algorithm for computer program of virtual screening has been proposed. Prospects and benefits of computer modeling of agent activity are considered.Conclusions: Establishment of computer program for virtual screening will significantly reduce time and resources during researching new synthesized compounds. The algorithm for a computer program of virtual screening has been developed Predictable antioxidant activity data on nitric oxide radical (NO·)inhibition may be calculated in percentage using HOMO and LUMO as the input data for this program.
