Authors: Kurdanova Madina Kh.
Published: August 2021

The article examines aspects of the constitutional reform of 2020 in conjunction with the improvement of democracy as a form of direct democracy. The originality of the reforms that took place is assessed in the constitutional and legal dimension and in conjunction with the principles of the welfare state. Using the example of the all-Russian vote, it is substantiated that it is a special legal procedure for legitimizing constitutional changes that serves as a form of expression of the will of the people to change the configuration of constitutional and legal relations. The delegation of power by the people and the expression of support for the constitutional and legal initiatives of President of the Russian Federation is recognized as a condition for the implementation of the strategic goals of the state.
The European convention on human rights in the XXI century: in search of balance
Authors: Giakoumopoulos Christos
Published: August 2021

The original system established by the European Convention on Human Rights is based on a delicate balance. Initially, this balance was achieved through the establishment of a mechanism sparing national susceptibilities in the face of the ambitious objectives displayed by the European project. The success of the system has led to the reform brought about by Protocol No. 11, strengthening its jurisdictional character.
However, having coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the enlargement of the Council of Europe, the system had to face new challenges: the number of potential applicants exceeded 800 million and the accession of new States with political and legal systems in transition and judicial systems under construction have caused litigation before the Court to explode. The process launched in Interlaken ten years ago has consolidated the capacities of the system, especially as the Court has been able to take advantage of it, on the one hand by putting in place innovative and effective measures and p rocedures and, on the other hand, by engaging in dialogue with national courts.
Following the Interlaken process and the entry into force of Protocols No. 14, 15 and 16, the question arises as to whether the tools that these instruments have created, so essential for the effectiveness of the system today, will be sufficient to avoid tensions in the future. The groundwork for the future of the system will have to look at the synergies between the Court, the Committee of Ministers and the States Parties, aimed at giving the Convention system all the dimensions of engagement it needs: the jurisdictional dimension, above all, but also that of dialogue, consultation, cooperation and prevention. This will require a coordinated mobilization of all Council of Europe institutions.

Saving living diversity in the face of the unstoppable 6th mass extinction: a call for urgent international action
Authors: Naggs Fred
Published: August 2021

The global scale and impact of current and increasing human population size is incompatible with the survival of biological diversity and the 6th mass extinction cannot be stopped. For the vast majority of species we have neither the knowledge of when they will go extinct nor the capacity to find out. Conventional conservation measures can only amount to token damage limitation. Advances in molecular biology allow low cost options for storing the genetic diversity of numerous species and maximising future options for restoring species.
Hidden Gem of the Cairo Consensus: Helping to End Population Growth with Entertainment Media
Authors: Ryerson William
Published: August 2021

In 1994, the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development was adopted. The Programme conveys anthropocentric sensibilities when discussing the idea of sustainable development. Moreover, the Programme has largely been interpreted in such a way that it fails to hold the goal of ending population growth at the same level of esteem as the goal of ensuring reproductive health and rights. Despite some unfavorable outcomes, the Programme’s orientation around gender equality is to be celebrated. In section 11.23, the Programme highlights a key tactic to help achieve gender equality: effective use of the entertainment media, including radio and television soap operas and drama. Since 1998, Population Media Center has successfully used mission-driven entertainment to confront the most powerful drivers of ongoing rapid population growth: the social norms, attitudes and behaviors related to the status of women in various societies around the world; misinformation about contraception and cultural barriers to its use (such as male opposition); and perceived norms with regard to ideal family size.
tale of two islands. The reality of large-scale extinction in the early stages of the Anthropocene: a lack of awareness and appropriate action
Authors: Naggs Fred
Published: August 2021

The endemic biotas of oceanic islands were vulnerable and many have been lost. The more ancient, complex and dynamic biotas of continents were more resilient but are now being obliterated. Sumatra and Madagascar are large continental plate islands with very different histories and biotas that exemplify the situation on continental land masses. Both tropical islands have suffered massive habitat loss and species extinction from human population pressure, Sumatra mostly from global and Madagascar from local pressure. Snails demonstrate the complex history of faunal origins as illustrated by the relationships between Madagascan, Indian and southeast Asian snail faunas and their plate tectonic geological history. Snails also reveal our limited knowledge of the details but not the scope of extinctions through habitat loss. International agencies are failing to address the root causes of natural habitat loss and consequent extinctions, which are overpopulation and an economic system based on perpetual growth. The fallacy of sustainable development and the limitations of current conservation practice are addressed. Recognition that we cannot stop extinctions in the immediate future demands a new, supplementary approach to conservation based on advances in molecular technology.
potential environmental impacts of EU immigration policy: future population numbers, greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity preservation
Authors: Cafaro Philip , Götmark Frank
Published: August 2021

This article clarifies the potential environmental impacts of more or less expansive EU immigration policies. First, we project the demographic impacts of different immigration policy scenarios on future population numbers, finding that relatively small annual differences in immigration levels lead to large differences in future population numbers, both nationally and region-wide. Second, we analyze the potential impacts of future population numbers on two key environmental goals: reducing the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions and preserving its biodiversity. We find that in both cases, smaller populations make success in these endeavors more likely – though only in conjunction with comprehensive policy changes which lock in the environmental benefits of smaller populations. Reducing immigration in order to stabilize or reduce populations thus can help EU nations create ecologically sustainable societies, while increasing immigration will tend to move them further away from this goal.

Published: August 2021

Background: Substance abuse is among the main causes of preventable diseases and premature deaths worldwide. Despite legal efforts to prevent substance abuse, it has increased and imposed significant economic costs on societies. This analytical cross-sectional study aimed to explore the rate of substance abuse-induced mortality in the provinces of Iran, in 2017. We elaborated an evaluation structure to identify nationwide different substance abuse-related mortality rates. Methods: We employed the retrospective data extracted from autopsy, forensic medicine examination, and demographic characteristics from the recordings in the Iranian Legal Medicine Organization (ILMO). Stata and ArcGIS were applied for data analysis. Results: Nationwide, 3089 substance abuse-related deaths were recorded in the ILMO; the incidence rate was 38.17 per million subjects. The deaths mostly occurred in the 30-39 age group and males accounted for 90% of cases. The provinces of Kermanshah, Lorestan, Fars, Hamadan, and Semnan reported significantly higher rates, compared with the provinces of Mazandaran, West-Azerbaijan, and Golestan with the lowest mortality rates per million (74.72, 69.81, 63.42, 61.70, 58.53 vs. 10.82, 12.11, 14.30, respectively). Mortality rates due to the abuse of methadone (20.29), morphine (12.34), amphetamine (5.32), methamphetamine (7.05), codeine (4.21), tramadol (5.96), benzodiazepine (1.47), and diphenoxylate (0.05) were calculated per million populations of Iran. Conclusion: The obtained data suggested that preventive interventions should focus on the 20-40 age group. Methadone, morphine, and methamphetamine were associated with the highest mortality, compared to other substances; thus, they require effective treatment and preventive programs. Iranian Drug Control Headquarters, police department, and policymakers should act more efficiently regarding a preventive strategic plan in this respect.
Gilles Deleuze: “la policía es el dinero”...
Authors: Martínez Reinoso Rodrigo
Published: August 2021

Este texto trata sobre el pensamiento de Deleuze y sobre su crítica del capitalismo. Y, más exactamente, acerca del análisis que desarrolla a partir de su lectura de Marx y su teoría de la moneda y su carácter dual diferencial. También cabe destacar que Deleuze sostiene sus afirmaciones a partir de lo que cabe comprender como su teoría general de la sociedad, desarrollada junto a Félix Guattari en sus obras conjuntas El Anti-Edipo. Capitalismo y esquizofrenia (1972) y Mil mesetas. Capitalismo y esquizofrenia (1980). Siendo la clave de dicho análisis la relación entre los conceptos de socius o superficie de inscripción, su teoría del deseo y su concepción inmanente de la economía-política.

Los libros publicados por universidades carecen en general de un buen sistema de difusión: esto explica porque, aunque publicado en 2011, este texto llegó a nuestro conocimiento solamente en 2017. Es un tema que podría resolverse con la creación de una federación de editoriales universitarias, por lo menos a nivel latinoamericano, con meta a asegurar la adecuada distribución de libros en general resultados de largas y serias investigaciones lo que debería prometer un contenido innovador. ¡Resulta entonces grave esta falta de accesibilidad!
Estallido social y violaciones a los derechos humanos en Chile
Authors: Guala Maldonado Johanna
Published: August 2021

El año 2019 trajo consigo un sinnúmero de manifestaciones sociales en América Latina, las que en el caso de Chile, se agudizaron a partir del 18 de octubre de 2019 en todo el territorio nacional.  Mas allá de las causas de este fenómeno que han sido materia de múltiples análisis y discusiones, los hechos de violencia policial y la gran cantidad de violaciones a los derechos humanos, han puesto en cuestionamiento las obligaciones asumidas por el Estado en lo relativo a su respeto, garantía y protección de acuerdo al marco Internacional de derechos humanos tal y como es señalado en cuatro Informes de Organismos Internacionales y del INDH. Reflexionar en torno a esta discusión resulta imperativo y necesario para contribuir a una sociedad que cuente con un Estado más justo, respetuoso, que repare o restituya el daño causado y garantice la No repetición de actos que violen los Derechos Humanos.
Mapeamento da síndrome de Burnout em pilotos de asas fixas e asas rotativas no Brasil
Authors: Carmo Guilherme Lourenço do , Costa Nagi Hanna Salm
Published: August 2021

O presente estudo tem como objetivo mapear aspectos que podem se relacionar à Síndrome de Burnout, ou Síndrome do Esgotamento Profissional, em pilotos de asas fixas e asas rotativas no Brasil. Essa síndrome é entendida como um fenômeno ocupacional multidimensional que compromete o bem-estar do indivíduo, degradando sua saúde, sendo resultado da exposição constante a estímulos estressores no ambiente laboral. O indivíduo poderá apresentar sintomas fisiológicos e psicossociais, como mudanças de humor e de comportamento, estresse, cansaço, fadiga, dificuldade de concentração, exaustão e perda de motivação. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo que utilizou um questionário eletrônico desenvolvido na plataforma Google Forms para coleta de dados. Participaram do estudo 70 pilotos de asas fixas e asas rotativas que estavam ou já estiveram empregados na aviação como pilotos. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos participantes sente aumento dos níveis de cansaço físico e mental proporcional à carga de trabalho e teve queda em seu desempenho devido ao cansaço. Os participantes também notaram alterações em seu ciclo circadiano e imunidade, possivelmente devido à falta de rotina no trabalho. A maioria deles declarou priorizar o trabalho em detrimento da vida pessoal e que se sente isolada em função do alastramento da doença Covid-19, ainda que suas atividades laborais estejam fora do contexto de pandemia, e que a falta de rotina compromete, em algum grau, seus relacionamentos interpessoais e o contato familiar. Assinalaram também dificuldade de delegar funções a outros membros da equipe e de negar solicitações provenientes de seus superiores. Os resultados obtidos sinalizaram alguns fatores que podem gerar o adoecimento do aeronauta em função do esgotamento profissional proveniente das diversas demandas presentes em seu ambiente laboral. Ao final do estudo, sugere-se a condução de novas pesquisas que auxiliem tanto na discriminação de estímulos estressores aos quais os aeronautas são expostos, quanto no desenvolvimento de estratégias de prevenção do adoecimento do trabalhador no modal aéreo, de modo a reforçar os níveis de segurança na aviação e promover a melhoria contínua no gerenciamento do fator humano.

Published: August 2021

Effective control of the quality and safety of livestock products is possible only with the implementation of a scientifically grounded complex of veterinary and sanitary and general economic measures. The goal of our work was to develop effective ways to sanitize clothing and footwear of workers in the livestock industry. The studies were carried out following the current methodological approaches that are used in agriculture and veterinary medicine. Based on the results of the research carried out, two methods and one device have been developed to ensure a high level of veterinary and sanitary measures in animal husbandry. It has been proven that for the sanitization of clothing of workers in the animal husbandry industry, it is effective to use a disinfectant, which includes the sodium salt of dichloroisocyanuric acid (0.09–0.36%), adipic acid (0.01–0.04%), sodium bicarbonate (0.01–0.04%), sodium carbonate (0.003–0.01%), water (99.887–99.55%) when exposed for 30 minutes. For disinfection of workers' footwear, it is advisable to use disinfectants filled with a disinfectant that contains dichlorantin (0.021–0.21%), 5,5-dimethylhydantoin (0.0164–0.164%), a dispersant (0.012–0.12%), anionic surfactants (0.005–0.05%), corrosion inhibitor (0.01–0.1%), filler (0.0356–0.356%) and water (99.9–99.0%). An innovative device for cleaning and disinfection is proposed - a shoe disinfector, which consists of a waterproof box with a bottom wider than the top, filled with a disinfectant solution, a branch pipe for removing waste solution, a brush shaft, which is fixed in the upper part of the waterproof box, an electric motor with a rotational speed 2 rev/s., Which serves as a drive shaft brush, control panel with a start button and a stop button. The proposed developments complement the existing regulations on veterinary and sanitary measures at livestock farms and complexes.
INFLUENCE OF COW WATERING TECHNOLOGY ON RUMINATOR PROCESSES AND DAIRY PRODUCTIVITY

Published: August 2021

The results of studies on changing the technology of drinking for dairy cows by installing an additional trough-type drinker on the route of cows from the milking parlor to the main housing are presented. For this, a scientific and economic experiment was carried out according to the method of groups of periods on 65 cows of the second third of lactation.
It was found that for 2–3 days after the installation for additional watering, the cows began to linger near the additional watering devices and quickly consumed running water during the first 0.5 minutes. As a result, the concentration of cows near the drinking bowls in the main cow house was visually reduced.
Changes in cows' drinking patterns led to an increase in dry matter consumption of the diet by 5.3 % and a gradual increase in the frequency of cicatricial contractions. The change in drinking water provided an increase in the average daily milk yield in cows by 1.03 kg or 4.79 %. In addition, there has been a tendency towards an increase in the percentage of protein and dry matter in milk. Improvement of water supply to the body of cows due to changes in drinking technology contributed to an increase in the microbiological purity of milk, which was reflected in a decrease in bacterial seed production from 305.3 to 297.9 thousand / cm3.
The return of cow watering technology to the standard principle led to the return of productivity indicators to their original level. Therefore, it can be argued about the advisability of using the selected technological method of additional drinking.
GENETIC ANALYSIS OF UKRAINIAN LARGE WHITE PIG BREED BY POLYMORPHISMS IN RYR1, ESR1 AND PRLR GENES

Published: August 2021

Marker-Assisted Selection is getting increasing attention in Ukrainian animal breeding as an effective tool for choosing animals with desirable traits. Identification of molecular markers which are related to major genes is a promising approach for improving economic traits and has to be checked for further gene-trait associations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are genetic markers that can be associated with production traits. SNP genotyping has to be done additionally for each breed to see if they are polymorphic and have significant associations with certain traits. Among the candidate genes that influence the expression of productive traits, special attention is drawn to RYR1, ESR1 and PRLR genes. Gene RYR1 is associated with muscle hypertrophy and other meat quality defects in pigs. ESR1 and PRLR genes influence reproduction and affect the litter size in pigs.

SNPs RYR1 g.1843 C>T, ESR1 SNP c.1227 C>T and PRLR g. 1789 G>A have been receiving increasing attention as potential markers for improving quality and pig performance traits. This study investigated the allele variants in three genes (RYR1, ESR1 and PRLR) in Ukrainian Large White pigs of different inside breed types (ULW-1 and ULW-2). The study was performed on 200 pigs. Genotyping was performed using PCR–RFLP method. SNP RYR1 g.1843 C>T was not polymorphic in ULW-1 and ULW-2 inside breed types, when ESR1 SNP c.1227 C> T and PRLR g. 1789 G>A were highly polymorphic. SNPs in ESR1 and PRLR genes had high PIC and χ2 values which indicates the relevance of further associative studies in ULW-1 and ULW-2. Informativeness of the genetic markers in ESR1 and PRLR genes was optimal for associative studies in Ukrainian Large White pig breed of first and second inside breed type.
ALTERATIONS OF LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE ACTIVITY IN THE SKELETAL MUSCLES AND CARDIAC TISSUE OF SALMONID AFTER DISINFECTING PROCEDURE WITH CHLORAMINE-T
Authors: Tkachenko H. , Kurhaluk N. , Grudniewska J.
Published: August 2021

Chloramine-T is a widely used disinfectant for the treatment of gill diseases of fish in freshwater and can be toxic to fish. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the safety of this disinfecting product (as it has been attracting researchers’ attention for applying in aquatic animals) for fish health using markers of aerobic and anaerobic capacity (i.e. lactate dehydrogenase activity) in the skeletal muscle and cardiac tissues of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum), grayling (Thymallus thymallus Linck), and brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario). Twenty-two clinically healthy rainbow trout, twenty-one brown trout, and twenty graylings were exposed to Chloramine-T in a final concentration of 9 mg per L. The Control group of fish was handled in the same way as the exposed groups. Fish were bathed for 20 min and repeated three times every 3 days. Two days after the last bathing fish were sampled. In the skeletal muscle tissue, LDH activity was decreased in the rainbow trout and grayling after disinfection by Chloramine-T compared to the unhandled controls. On the other hand, LDH activity was increased in the skeletal muscle tissue of brown trout. In the cardiac tissue, disinfection by Chloramine-T caused the decrease of LDH activity in rainbow trout, brown trout, and grayling. Moreover, in unhandled controls, LDH activity in the cardiac tissue was higher by 107.5% (p = 0.000) in brown trout and by 57.6% (p = 0.001) in the grayling compared to the values obtained in skeletal muscles. The present investigation demonstrates the alterations in LDH activity in the skeletal muscles and cardiac tissue after the disinfecting procedure with Chloramine-T in dose 9 mg per L. Although, after disinfection, the rainbow trout, brown trout, and grayling showed decreased trends of aerobic responses in the cardiac tissue indicating adaptive response against the Chloramine-T toxicity. Similar trends were observed in the skeletal muscles of rainbow trout and grayling. On the other hand, LDH activity in the skeletal muscles of brown trout after the disinfecting procedure with Chloramine-T was increased. Therefore, these biochemical parameters can be considered as indicators for the assessment of disinfecting effects, although further studies are required for investigating the mechanism involved in this pattern.

Systematic Investigation of Ergosterol Fermentation by Kluyveromyces marxianus Y.00243 via Statistical Design
Authors: Vidra Aladár , Kaleta Zoltán , Németh Áron
Published: August 2021

Ergosterol, an important pharmaceutical intermediate, is the precursor of liposoluble vitamin D2 and cortisone. It is also a main sterol in yeast cells and responsible for structural features of membranes such as the integrity, fluidity, permeability and activity of membrane-bound enzymes. Kluyveromyces marxianus is able to utilize various sugars such as lactose, xylose and arabinose against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is also thermotolerant. Based on these aforementioned characteristics, K. marxianus can be of great importance in the utilization of whey and lignocellulosic biomass. In this paper, the effect of four factors on the specific ergosterol content and yeast growth was investigated using two statistical experimental designs. The factors examined were initially added alcohol, temperature, salt concentration and pH. The initially added alcohol had a positive effect on the specific ergosterol content, resulted in 37 % specific ergosterol content increasement. The temperature had a negative effect on yeast growth reducing the biomass concentration by 50 % when increased from 25 °C to 30 °C. The pH had a significant effect only on the specific ergosterol content, having an optimum at pH 5.5. The salt concentration had no significant effect in either case. Based on the results, it is suggested that the setup which facilitates higher ergosterol content but does not slow down the growth of the yeast remarkably should be selected, which are 25 °C, pH 5.3 and 3 % of initial ethanol content.

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of the 5E teaching model on the primary school pre-service teachers’ (PSPTs) learning some astronomy concepts. The sample of this research consisted of 90 PSPTs in the 2nd year at a state university. The research was carried out on the pre-experimental methodology with a single research group. The data of the study were collected by concept cartoon form which included some astronomy concepts such as the Sun, star, planet, meteor, Solar System, constellations. The developed teaching materials about the chosen astronomy concepts were implemented in eight course hours. It was seen that most of the PSPTs had alternative concepts. A considerable decrease was determined when the pre and post-test results of the PSPTs were compared; it was found that learning based on the 5E teaching model had a positive effect on the conceptual change. It can be said that 5E teaching model was effective on remedying alternative concepts. In the future research about astronomy teaching may be conducted to determine the effects of 5E teaching model on remedying the alternative concepts and achieving conceptual change with the different education levels of students. Keywords: concept cartoons, primary school, pre-service teachers, astronomy concepts, 5E teaching model, alternative concept.

Authors: Altınkök Mustafa
Published: August 2021

The purpose of the research was to determine the effects of 12-week physical activities based on Cooperative Learning Method on development of basic motor skills of Primary School 1st Graders. Pretest-Posttest Design, Semi-Empirical Research Method and Unequaled Control Group Methods were used in the research. To determine the effects of physical activities based on Cooperative Learning Method on the development of basic motor skills, controlling the ball with feet, controlling the ball with hands, running coordination, agility, promptness and dynamic balance skill tests were used. According to the statistical results, no significant differences were detected in pretest average values of the research and control groups in Independent sampling t-test; however, a significant difference was found in favor of the research group in posttest averages. In the t-test for Dependent Variables, significant differences were found in pretest-posttest averages in favor of the posttest values of Research Group. In pretest-posttest averages of Controls, negative significance was found in controlling the balls with hands, and no significant differences were determined in other motor skills. We believe that students are active in application process, and the long-term planned learning-teaching environments with physical activities based on Cooperative Learning Method might contribute to the development of basic motor skills.

From the Castrated Subject to the Human Way: A Lacanian Reinterpretation of Ancient Chinese Thought
Authors: Wu Guanjun
Published: August 2021

Lacan studied ancient Chinese classics assiduously, including Daodejing and Mencius during 1969–73 when his own thought was reaching maturity. Lacan's idiosyncratic interpretation of Mencius is often regarded as a simple misreading. This essay defends Lacan's reading of Mencius by treating it as a psychoanalytic reading. It further develops a reinterpretation of ancient Chinese thought by revisiting primarily two major disputes – Mencius versus Xunzi, Confucianism versus Daoism – through a Lacanian interpretative method. The research findings reveal the possible latent side of ancient Chinese thought that has substantially formed what Lacan called ‘the Chinese unconscious’.
