Authors: Krasnikova Olga V. , Katunova Valeria V. , Bozhkova Elena D.
Published: September 2021

The review examines the problem of psychological health of pedagogues in Russian educational organisations – schools, colleges, universities, boarding schools. The analysed and structured modern literature data on psychological studies of pedagogues' health in various educational institutions of Russia noted their specificity and similarities. The work will raise the issue of the importance of monitoring the current state of pedagogues; such indicators of psychological ill health as emotional burnout, mental maladjustment, depersonalisation are considered. There has been a steady growth and disappointing dynamics of an increase in the number of pedagogues experiencing professional burnout. The options for providing psychological support to pedagogues of schools and universities were considered (individual and group trainings; self-reflection sessions; study of special literature); the result of approbation of the psychological assistance programme was evaluated. Possible prospects for the development of the Medical University of Nizhny Novgorod in the context of the problems of preserving and developing the psychological health of a pedagogue are noted. It has been established that the targeted use of a complex of psychological measures that preserve and develop the health of pedagogic workers not only affects the state of the participants in the educational process, but also guarantees the effectiveness of their activities, thereby determining the success of the education system as a whole.

Authors: Patrakov Eduard V.
Published: September 2021

This theoretical article represents a psychological analysis of the factors of the digital information environment that transform the labour behaviour of the subject (agency), discusses the possibility of asking the question about join subject (agency) of labour ‟individual-digital information environment”. It is shown that as a result of the digitalisation of society, the following changes have occurred in the field of labour – the autonomy of labour, de-standardisation, virtualisation of labour relations, a decrease in the share of physical labour, the convergence of play and labour. A set of contradictions that are brewing in the classical models of professional development is also highlighted. As conclusions, the conditions that are the mediators of the desired single subject of labour and the research ‟gaps” that indicate the horizons of further research in this area are presented.

Authors: Putri Tri Wahyu Oktaviana , Mowaviq M. Imbarothur
Published: September 2021

Studi mengenai kontrol konveyor dan pemrograman menggunakan PLC telah banyak diajarkan di perguruan tinggi khususnya pada bidang Teknik Elektro. Sayangnya materi yang diperoleh peserta didik hanya berupa teori tanpa pengaplikasian secara langsung pada sistem konveyor di industri karena terkendala kebijakan perusahaan. Oleh karena itu, perlu dibuat prototipe sistem konveyor otomatis berbasis PLC yang dimiliki sendiri oleh perguruan tinggi sehingga peserta didik dapat langsung mengimplemetasikan hasil perancangan dan program PLC yang telah dipelajarinya di kelas. Diharapkan dengan adanya prototipe sistem konveyor otomatis tersebut mampu meningkatkan minat dan pemahaman peserta didik terhadap proses otomatisasi industri sehingga akan lebih siap ketika harus terjun langsung ke industri. Penambahan kendali kecepatan pada sistem konveyor otomatis bertujuan utnuk menciptakan suatu prototipe yang sesuai dengan keadaan nyata di lapangan. Penelitian ini membahas perancangan dan pembuatan prototipe sistem konveyor otomatis dengan kendali kecepatan berbasis Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Perangkat utama pengendali yang digunakan adalah PLC Mitsubishi tipe FX3U yang dilengkapi dengan input analog, output analog, dan output PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). Konveyor yang digunakan adalah konveyor mini dengan penggerak motor DC. Pengendalian kecepatan konveyor dilakukan dengan mengatur kecepatan putaran motor DC menggunakan pengaturan lebar pulsa berbasis PLC.

Authors: Hendry  , Rahmawati Reni , Andriani Syifa
Published: September 2021

Tanah lunak tidak digunakan sebagai timbunan dalam proyek konstruksi, karena memiliki nilai CBR yang rendah tetapi dengan nilai kepadatan kering yang tinggi, sangat rentan kegagalan daya dukung pada lapisan tanah dasar konstruksi jalan. Tanah lempung lunak dapat digantikan material lain sebagai timbunan, tetapi akan menambah biaya. Dalam penggunaan tanah lunak sebagai tanah dasar untuk perkerasan jalan, maka penambahan expanded polystyrene (EPS) dan fly ash (FA) perlu dicoba untuk diteliti. Penelitian dilakukan untuk melihat nilai uji CBR di laboratorium pada campuran tanah lempung, fly ash (FA) dan expanded polystyrene (EPS). Komposisi campuran dilakukan dengan penambahan EPS sebanyak 0 %; 0,25%; 0,5%; dan 0,75% dengan waktu peram selama 3, 7, 14, 21 hari. Pada penelitian ini komposisi untuk FA ditetapkan sebanyak 16%, diambil berdasarkan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya. Pada komposisi dengan penambahan EPS sebesar 0,75 % dengan waktu peram 14 hari, merupakan komposisi yang optimal karena menghasilkan nilai CBR tinggi dan MDD rendah jika dibandingkan dengan tanah lunak, dengan nilai CBR  kondisi unsoaked 2,84% dan MDD 1,0 gr/cm3 dan kondisi soaked 2,27 % dan MDD 1,1 gr/cm3. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk penambahan semen sebagai aktivasi fly ash sehingga memiliki performan yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya, sehingga dapat memaksimalkan hasil nilai CBR campuran tanah.

Usage of biopesticides in agriculture practices
Authors: BENANI Sanae , BOUCHELTA Aziz , AMINE Sanae
Published: September 2021

Using pesticides is the first method to control diseases and kill pests and weeds, which are the most menacing and the biggest problem facing agriculture. It is commonly used by developing since it is the solution to increase yields and solve agriculture problems. A part from big farmers, the majority of peasant farmers are unable to pay for synthetic pesticides because of their high price. Moreover, the small fields cultivated by subsistence farmers making the use of such pesticides uneconomic. In morocco, peasant farmers use even pesticides, which are over dose or they use non-certified products. It is understood that it is very harmful for human health and environment as well. Therefore, pesticide plants do not eliminate all pests, but keep their populations under the threshold of harm, and have more advantages than synthetic pesticides. Moreover, pesticide plant extracts decompose rapidly in the environment; which limits the risk of environmental pollution and improves the sanitary quality of cultivated products; also, it controls insect pests by protecting their natural enemies rather than by spraying crops with synthetic pesticides. The aim of this study is to record all products used by farmers to control Bruchus rufimanus especially the use of bio pesticides around Meknes city (Mejjat and Sebet jahjouhe area). It was established that most of big peasant farmers use synthetic pesticides. While small farmers have only access to traditional methods such as Capsicum frutescent, Urtica dioica, salt and ash wood, if not using non-certified products among which rodenticides.

Manual de Periodismo universitario: : en camino a la Paz y la reconciliación
Authors:   Universidad Santiago de Cali, Navarrete Pablo Manuel , Behar Leiser Olga
Published: September 2021

Este libro es lo que hay que hacer. El país, que hace cien años seguía guardando silencio, es hoy una suma de ruidos, una gritería: braman los unos sobre los otros hasta que todo da igual. Y como no oímos noticias sino rumores, como nos llegan los chismes primero que los hechos y los portales de periodismo de mentiras les dicen a los desencantados lo que quieren oír, resulta fundamental –más que nunca– que alguien se encargue de contar lo que está pasando sin perder la cordura. Este libro lo hace: cuenta la historia del conflicto colombiano desde La Violencia para que la importancia del acuerdo de paz con las Farc sea evidente –y sea un hecho: nada más, nada menos–, pero además habla con los protagonistas de los horrores de estas décadas y visita los lugares en donde está sucediendo el fin de la guerra para no andar por ahí propagando lo que dijo el uno y callando lo que dijo el otro.
Vineta del Danubio. La letteratura tedesca in Tempo curvo a Krems
Authors: Vivarelli Vivetta
Published: September 2021

The five stories in Magris’s Tempo curvo a Krems contain indirect references to the German and Mitteleuropean literatures that nourished their author. They are not merely echoes or resonances: allusions such as to the legend of Vineta, the city beneath the sea, or to Heine’s poem about the troubadour Rudèl and Melisanda, as well as to Faustian themes and the longing for transformation («die and become») are closely linked to the central theme of a circular and recurring time. The lightly ironic tone is nonetheless a bulwark against the spleen, the «Sehnsucht» or the recollection and regret of the past; a past that resurfaces and continues to echo like the tolling of a submerged bell.
L’io nello sguardo dell’altra. L’arte del monologo di Claudio Magris
Authors: Biagini Enza
Published: September 2021

The current essay aims to highlighting a few aspects of the fine ‘art of the monologue’ practiced by Claudio Magris in his remarkable theatrical achievements (three dramatic monologues and two choral plays), in particular, on his most compelling play, Lei dunque capirà (2006). On one hand, the play highlights his masterly use of the stylistic/dialogic capacity of the monologue on stage and, on the other, it offers an unprecedented and extraordinary (parodic) re-actualization of the myth of Orpheus.
La rielaborazione dei mitemi orfici in Microcosmi. Tra vulgata classica e favola indiana
Authors: Fallani Andrea
Published: September 2021

Starting from the critics’ observations about the structure of Microcosmi, the essay focuses on the key role played by the love story between the protagonist-narrator and his wife Marisa, a sort of rewriting of Orpheus and Eurydice’s myth. Convergences and variations between the classic vulgate of the myth and the pseudo-rewriting of Microcosmi are highlighted. The essay also focuses on the Indian myth of Savitri and Sátiavan, to understand the source of the many substantial variations and, in particular, the reversal of roles between male and female characters. This myth turns out to be a privileged source for the rewritings of the Orpheus’ myth that are offered by Magris in his Microcosmi.
Un manifesto per la modernità: venti anni di Utopia e disincanto
Authors: Carciaghi Federico
Published: September 2021

The current essay aims to highlighting the importance of Magris’ Utopia e disincanto. The year of its first publication (1999) was a watershed moment in his career, as it paved the way to a new season of public engagement and historical analysis, which can be also seen in his later essays and novels. Twenty years later, Utopia e disincanto is still a manifesto for modernity, a deeply contemporary book where Magris’ analytical view is headed towards an idea of universal literature, an idea of Weltliteratur that should be a tool to understand the changes in which mankind is involved. Literature is meant to be a tool to investigate the dark sides hidden among the folds of History

A constituição do “eu” em entrevistas com descendentes de italianos no Brasil: Tempo e espaço como marcas de memória e identidade
Authors: Santoro Elisabetta , Maggio Giliola
Published: September 2021

Na sociedade brasileira contemporânea, a presença italiana ligada às várias épocas da migração é ainda hoje muito forte. Partindo do pressuposto que narrativas de descendentes de italianos podem ser um canal de acesso privilegiado a essa presença, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o que dizem sobre a Itália e ser “italianos” aqueles que são italianos de origem, mas brasileiros de nascimento e que tipo de representações vinculam à memória de seu passado familiar. O corpus aqui analisado é composto por cinco entrevistas com uma duração entre 20 e 50 minutos cada uma. Trata-se de uma amostra que permite iniciar reflexões e reconhecer recorrências e foi selecionada a partir do material coletado no âmbito de um projeto maior, que reúne relatos, narrativas e testemunhos a respeito de vários aspectos de histórias de vida de descendentes de italianos no Brasil. As entrevistas foram gravadas seguindo a abordagem metodológica da História Oral e a análise, de tipo qualitativo e exploratório, utiliza como referência as teorias da enunciação e se concentra, em especial, na observação de como se constitui o “eu” em sua relação com as categorias do tempo e do espaço.
Arte e artistas migrantes: Um universo simbólico na formação da sociedade brasileira
Authors: Silva Rossi Mirian
Published: September 2021

Muito se procurou e se procura as autênticas raízes da nossa nacionalidade. Esse tema se apresentou de forma mais abrangente nas primeiras décadas do século XX, levando a nossa intelectualidade a refletir sobre o que somos e o que não somos; entre reconhecer uma originalidade nacional ou aceitar as teorias estrangeiras. Na tentativa de compreender a cultura brasileira, produziram-se imagens e reflexões profundamente contrastantes entre si. Esta pesquisa retoma essa discussão, tendo como linha de argumentação o lugar que a arte e os artistas imigrantes em São Paulo ocuparam, no longo e contraditório processo de formação da sociedade brasileira. Transitando pelo universo simbólico do qual emergem as formas e as representações artísticas, as relações e as significações, este estudo parte do pressuposto de que a arte promove o encontro do homem consigo mesmo e com a sua cultura, e que as manifestações estéticas de uma sociedade, quando em sintonia com o momento histórico, são capazes de revelar a sua essência, no que ela tem de material e imaterial.

Tourists’ willingness to pay for nature-based tourism experiences.
Authors: Vespestad May Kristin , Gressnes Thomas
Published: September 2021

This paper deals with willingness to pay (WTP) for nature as a public good. The study addresses the relationships between motivation for nature-based experiences, environmental engagement, involvement with nature experiences, relationship with nature, preferred degree of adaptation of nature and consumers’ WTP. The aim was to identify factors that influence WTP for nature-based tourist experiences. The study relies on quantitative survey data from 1634 respondents in Norway. The data were analyzed using SPSS. WTP varies according to factors such as escape, recognition, active achievement, esthetics, social and environmental concern, preference for adaptation and type of natural surroundings. Tourists who place importance on, for example, peer recognition and escape, have a higher WTP for nature that is not overcrowded and with little or no adaptation for tourism purposes. The article discusses practical issues such as how WTP should affect management decisions about the pricing of nature tourism, and presents the theoretical and practical implications of the results.

Authors: Odhiambo Aloo Ronald , Wa Mutiso Kineene
Published: September 2021

Katika makala haya, tumechunguza aina na mchango wa urudiaji wa kisarufi katika Utenzi wa Seyidina Ali na Mudhari bin Darimi. Ili kufanikisha hili, tumeongozwa na nadharia ya Umtindo ambayo inachunguza na kutoa fasiri kwa kazi za isimu na fasihi. Hii ni kwa sababu uchunguzi wa vipengele vya kifasihi hauwezi kujisimamia. Nadharia ya Umtindo inahusishwa na Geoffrey Leech katika mwaka wa 1969 kutokana na kazi yake ya kwanza ya ushairi alioandika huku akizingatia mawazo ya nadharia hii. Lengo la uhakiki wetu ni kuweka wazi aina mbalimbali za urudiaji wa kisarufi zilizotumiwa katika utenzi huu na michango yake katika kufanikisha fani na maudhui kwenye utungo huu. Baada ya uhakiki wetu, tumegundua kuwa urudiaji wa kisarufi unachangia maudhui, wahusika, vipengele vya kimtindo na vipengele vingine vya fani kwa ujumla katika utungo huu. Isitoshe, urudiaji huu wa kisarufi umekuwa na umuhimu katika kuleta mwangwi na usisitizaji.

Watoto wengi wanapitia changamoto nyingi miongoni mwa walezi wao na wanajamii. Kutokana na yale wanayoyapitia pamoja na mazingira duni wanamoishi, watoto wengi hukosa mwelekeo dhabiti wa kimaadili hivyo basi kukosa mahitaji yao ya kuwawezesha kuwa na hulka zinazokubalika katika jamii. Mtafiti alinuia kuchanganua vitabu vya fasihi ya watoto ili kubainisha iwapo vitabu hivi vinaweza kutekeleza mahitaji ya watoto kupitia migogoro au changamoto vitabuni. Vitabu teule vilivyotumiwa katika utafiti vilikuwa Ahaa! Roda (2017) kilichoandikwa na Tom Nyambeka na Mwisho wa Ujambazi (2017) naye Yahya Mutuku. Nadharia iliyotumika katika utafiti huu ni nadharia ya Maadili na nadharia ya Uhalisia. Njia za utafiti zilizotumiwa ni hojaji na upekuzi wa yaliyomo kwenye vitabu teule vya fasihi ya watoto. Data iliyokusanywa ilipangwa kulingana na maswali ya utafiti na kuchanganuliwa kwa kuzingatia mkabala mseto ambapo, muundo wa QUAL-QUAN ulitumika. Mtafiti alichanganua vitabu teule vya fasihi kimaelezo akiongozwa na maswali ya utafiti. Mtafiti alikusanya data nyanjani kupitia hojaji zilizosambazwa kwa sampuli ya asilimia kumi ya watoto mia mbili kutoka darasa la saba, shule ya msingi ya Langas, Kaunti ya Uasin Gishu. Shule hii ya Langas ni shule iliyoko katika mazingira duni hivyo basi watoto wengi wanapitia changamoto nyingi za kijamii. Matokeo yalibainisha kuwa vitabu vya fasihi vinaweza kutekeleza  mahitaji ya watoto kupitia migogoro vitabuni na kwamba vitabu vya fasihi ya watoto vinaweza kutoa mwelekeo kwa watoto kuhusu jinsi ya kukabiliana na changamoto katika hali halisi. Watoto 50% waliotafitiwa walikubali kuwa vitabu walivyovisoma vilikuwa changamoto ambazo waliweza kufananisha na hali halisi. Changamoto kwenye vitabu teule zilioana na changamoto halisi za watoto. Utafiti huu ulitoa mapendekezo kwa taasisi ya KICD na wizara ya elimu watumie utafiti huu kufanya tafiti zaidi ili kuchangia zaidi mitaala kwa lengo la kutekeleza mahitaji ya watoto. Walezi, walimu, wakuu wa shule watumie utafiti huu kuwalea watoto wao kwa njia mbadala na wenye manufaa. Utafiti zaidi uweze kufanywa kuhusu fasihi ya watoto kutekeleza mahitaji ya watoto kupitia changamoto zinazotokana na migogoro vitabuni. Waandishi wa vitabu pia watumie utafiti huu kuandika vitabu vilivyo na maudhui tofauti tofauti yanayoguza changamoto za watoto na hali halisi ya watoto

Chuju is a special Chinese flower tea with extensive health benefits. In this study, we have examined the effects of crude Chuju polysaccharides on alloxan-induced diabetic mice by measuring fasting blood glucose, insulin-related index, activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and content of malondialdehyde in the serum and liver. The results show that the treatment led to increased insulin sensitivity and decreased fasting glucose. The blood and liver levels of malondialdehyde decreased, whereas superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase levels were elevated by crude Chuju polysaccharides in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. These data support a basis for clinical investigations on crude Chuju polysaccharides in diabetic human subjects.

Leishmaniasis is an important disease affecting global public health which is spread by sand fly having different species. Various chemical drugs are used to treat and control Leishmaniasis including pentavalent antimonials, antimicrobial and antibiotics. Due to emergence of drug resistance, these therapeutic options are losing effectiveness in attaining success. Furthermore, these drugs are expensive and have toxic effects on liver and kidneys. There has been an emerging interest and excellent response by using plant based drugs and extracts to control Leishmaniasis. Different medicinal plants including Glycyrrhiza glabra, Allium sativum, Peganum harmala and Nigella sativa have shown excellent anti-leishmanial activity. Therefore, medicinal plants can help in effective drug development against Leishmaniasis diseases in both animals and humans which will be safer and health protective.

Humans when exposed to harmful ionising radiations suffer from various pathophysiological disorders including cancer. Radiotherapy is a treatment where these cancerous cells within a tumor are targeted and killed by means of high energy waves. This therapy is very expensive and involves highly sophisticated instruments. In addition to this, most synthetic radioprotectors including Amifostine have been found to possess toxicity. This led researchers to develop a novel, economically viable, and efficient therapeutic alternative to radiation therapy. The last two decades have observed a major shift towards investigating natural products as radioprotectors, as these are immensely effective in terms of their potential bioequivalence relative to many of the established synthetic compounds available. Taking into account the limitations of radiation therapy, an approach ‘Integrative Oncology’ that involves a combination of both traditional and conventional medical treatment are used nowadays to treat patients suffering from cancer and associated mental and psychological disorders.

Quality improvement has been receiving great attention in industries. In recent years, the finite horizon process is commonly encountered in industries due to flexible manufacturing production. Past research works on finite horizon process monitoring are still limited. Because of this, one-sided 4-out-of-5 run rules charts are proposed to monitor the multivariate coefficient of variation in a finite horizon process. The performance measures of the proposed charts are derived using the Markov-chain approach. The proposed schemes can serve as a framework for practitioners who wish to perform process monitoring easily and efficiently. Numerical comparisons between the proposed and existing charts have been made, in terms of the truncated average run length and the expected truncated average run length criteria. The findings reveal that the proposed charts outperform the existing charts for detecting small and moderate process shifts in the finite horizon process.

Published: September 2021

Background: Human beings are unique in number of physical characteristics like shape and form ofan individual. These characteristics are influenced by a wide range of racial, ecological, psychological,geographical, gender and biological variations. Human external ear is often overlooked during anthropometricmeasurements. The structure of human ear is so much variable that even two ears are different in sameindividual and it also varies according to age, sex, race and ethnic group.Authentic anthropometric data ofear for a particular population is necessary for designing of ear products for occupational environments, tofind out the age, sex and stature of an individual in that population. This data on ear measurements can alsobe helpful in forensic and medico-legal cases for personal identification of an individual. The main objectiveof the study is to find any relationship between ear parameters and stature and also to formulate regressionequation for estimation of stature in Haryanvi adult Jaats.Methods: The present study was conducted on 300 healthy Haryanvi Jaats (150 females and 150 males)aged 20 to 60 years. Measurements of ear length, ear breadth and stature were taken on each subject.Conclusion: Ear length and ear breadth are not significantly correlated with stature (p>0.05) in both thesexes except ear breadth which is significantly correlated with stature in males (p<0.05).The present study concluded that stature cannot be estimated from ear length and ear breadth in Haryanvipopulation.
