Resumo

Neste estudo são expostas informações de abrangência internacional a respeito das adaptações que vem ocorrendo na área de Educação Física (EF) e o atrelar inexorável com as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) referentes às pesquisas científicas dos últimos 14 anos. O objetivo desse artigo foi inquirir as oportunidades e tendências de pesquisa para área da Educação Física (EF). Para tal recorreu-se a uma pesquisa bibliométrica nas plataformas Web of Science e Scopus, assim como a leitura cuidadosa e investigativa dos artigos mais citados segundo essas bases de dados. As três tendências principais para futuras pesquisas relacionando as TICs e a EF foram identificadas na análise dos gaps dos artigos mais citados, destacando-se entre elas três grandes grupos: a criação e padronização do(s) material(is) e método (s) “CPMM”; a pesquisa com foco no(s) aluno(s) “FNA”; e a investigação com um maior foco no(s) professor(es) “FNP” Desta forma sugere-se que as novas pesquisas sigam tais vertentes de estudo, enaltecendo de forma próspera a área científica nas múltiplas relações possíveis entre as TICs e EF.

RESUMO

A aprendizagem da programação envolve a compreensão de um conjunto de teorias, práticas e o conhecimento sobre paradigmas, sintaxes e semânticas das linguagens, competências de raciocínio lógico, matemático e abstrato e algorítmico. Estes aspetos tornam a aprendizagem difícil para os alunos inciantes,  sendo uma disciplina com elevadas taxas de reprovação e evasão. Vários estudos têm apontado os ambientes de programação visual e por blocos como ferramentas que podem ajudar a ultrapassar algumas das barreiras inicias. Este artigo apresenta uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura sobre a utilização do ambiente de programação por blocos MIT App Inventor no ensino e aprendizagem de programação. Para tal, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa sistemática de artigos publicados, entre 2011 e 2020, em seis das principais bases de dados relacionadas com as ciências da computação e educação. Os resultados dos 10 artigos analisados salientaram as potencialidades do ambiente para a aprendizagem de conceitos de programação e revelaram, igualmente, a falta de estudos experimentais que analisem o efeito da sua utilização na aprendizagem e na motivação dos alunos.

The evolution of the social structure of society in developed countries shows that the socalled middle class, whose existence is considered the main guarantee of stable social, economic, political development, is under threat. The epidemic and pandemic did not create fundamentally new risks, but significantly exacerbated traditional ones. In fact, the epidemic acted as a catalyst and accelerated negative, but fairly wellknown processes. World experience of social policy, European regulatory practices “efficiency vs equality” is of great importance to Russia.

Published: May 2021

In the context of global changes in the media market under the influence of Internet technologies, it becomes necessary to identify the main trends of its development, so the characteristic of the market trends, the integration process of entrepreneurial structures in the media industry, aimed at increasing their competitiveness at the present stage of development of the market economy. In the context of an ever-changing, competitive digital ecosystem and against the background of General cuts in advertising budgets in the print press, radio, and television, advertising investments in the digital environment are increasing starting in 2019. Revenues of legacy news media organizations (also called old or traditional media organizations) are constantly declining due to the high degree of audience participation in new media due to the use of user-generated content, media automation, and new digital media organizations. Using mathematical-statistical and logical research methods, the article identifies specific features of the media business sphere, which include audience fragmentation, culture of creative destruction, and hypercompetition in the media market. In addition, key issues and current changes in the media industry in the context of global digitalization are highlighted, reflecting the introduction of innovative technologies that affect the media industry, and the decline in traditional methods of delivery and media consumption. Global digitalization has affected the growth of media platforms, resulting in an increase in the supply of content itself, as well as significant changes in its consumption by the advertising market.

Digital Mobilization: New Mechanisms and Opportunities for Political Governance
Authors: Dmitriev Sergey S.
Published: May 2021

The article examines the ways and methods of digital mobilization of citizens for protest marches in the cities of the Russian Federation (for example, the city of Pskov) on January 23 and 31, 2021. The research issue is the need to understand the system of digital mobilization — from campaigning to the transition to collective, public action.As part of the study, an expert interview was conducted among the organizers of rallies, the regional establishment, party workers, and trade union activists. The monitoring of protest groups in social networks (VKontakte, Telegram, Instagram) was also carried out for the tonality of information and the mechanisms for mobilizing citizens presented. They also used the method of observing the process of transition from digital mobilization to collective action and directly following the protest processions themselves.During the analysis, the author concludes that social media is a key channel of communication and consolidation of protest activity, with the social networks VKontakte and Telegram playing the main role in Russian political practice. In this connection, conclusions are drawn about the possibility of political management of protests using an information strategy aimed at stopping negative information labels and media occasions on VKontakte and Telegram, as well as developing an alternative protest agenda.

Authors: Kiseleva Maria I.
Published: May 2021

This article examines the institutional development of a forum, taking SPIEF and the Roscongress Foundation as a case study. The organization and event can be loosely divided into three periods: parliamentary (1997–2005), governmental (2006–2015), and presidential (2016 — present day). The article sets forth the minimum criteria of the work involved. The three periods are analysed, along with the need for each transition, and the organizational process involved for each one. Factors underpinning the stability of the system as a whole also come under examination.
The introduction of legal audit within French universities: The impact on the managerial latitude of managers
Authors: El Kaddouri Hamza , Ajeeb Modar
Published: May 2021

The adoption of the Law relative to the Liberties and Responsibilities of Universities (LRU) in 2007 has sought to “modernize” the governance system of French universities. Article 18 of this Law stipulated “the accounts of the university are subject to an annual audit by a legal auditor” (Law no. 2007–1199 of 10 August 2007). This paper explores management teams’ perceptions of the role of legal audit in the governance system of French universities and its impact on the managerial latitude of university managers. Based on twenty-five interviews carried out with members of the management teams in three universities, the results of this study are threefold. Firstly, legal audit plays a disciplinary role by reducing the information asymmetry and cognitive conflicts between university managers and the stakeholders involved in governance particularly the financial supervisory authorities and the accounting agency. Secondly, the audit report is used by university managers to reinforce the legitimacy and the objectivity of their decisions, in the face of internal and external political pressure coming mainly from the university council, faculties, and the supervisory authorities. Thirdly, legal audit plays a complementary role to the governance system in place, including the controls of the accounting agency, the Council, and the Rectorate. Therefore, the results of this research are part of an integrated governance approach (Wirtz, 2006) which is characterized by the complementarity between the disciplinary and cognitive dimensions (Williamson, 1991; Charreaux, 1997)
On the relationship between mechanical energy rate and heat dissipated rate during fatigue for a C45 steel depending on stress ratio
Authors: Finis Rosa De , Palumbo Davide , Galietti Umberto
Published: May 2021

This work deals with the analysis in the frequency domain of the
temperature signal and mechanical energy rate of C45 steel under two
different fatigue stepwise loading series at stress ratios of 0.1 and
-1. It was first investigated the energy distribution among the harmonic
components of the signals to understand possible variations caused by a
different stress ratio. In addition, the second amplitude harmonic (SAH)
of heat dissipated and mechanical energy rates have been considered in
the analysis and their relationship was investigated. It has been shown
as it depends only on the material, hence it is valid whatever the kind
of the test is without any assumption on the energy supplied to the
material or material hysteresis loop stabilisation. The adopted approach
allows the analysis of intrinsic dissipations by means of rapid,
full-field and contactless techniques without any specific requirement
on loading condition or temperature signal stabilisation.
Early-Middle Jurassic stepwise deepening in the transitional facies belt between the Adriatic Carbonte Platform Basement and Neo-Tethys open shelf in northeastern Montenegro evidenced by new ammonoid data from the early Late Pliensbachian (Lavinianum Zone)
Authors: Djakovic Martin , Gawlick Hans-Jürgen , Sudar Milan
Published: May 2021

New ammonoid data prove an early Late Pliensbachian deepening event above the ?Late Hettangian-Sinemurian shallow-subtidal gray-reddish micro-oncoidal-foraminifera grainstone facies and the ?early Pliensbachian deeper-marine micro-oncoidal-crinoidal-ammonoid wacke- to packstone facies. Based on the presence of Fuciniceras lavinianum (Fucini), Lytoceras ovimontanum Geyer and Arieticeratinae gen. indet. from a hardground above the deeper-water micro-oncoidal limestones in the Mihajlovici section (north - eastern Montenegro) a Late Pliensbachian to early Toarcian condensation horizon is proven. The Middle Toarcian ammonoid-bearing horizon also yielded species not known from previous studies: Calliphylloceras capitanii (cATuLLo), Harpoceras subplanatum (oPPeL) and Furloceras aff. chelussii (PAriScH & ViALe), also described in the present paper. These new data prove a stepwise deepening of the depositional area during the early and the Middle Jurassic reflected in detail in four sedimentary members: 1) ?Late Hettangian to Sine - murian/?earliest Pliensbachian open-marine shallow subtital micro-oncoidal limestones; 2) ?early to Late Pliensbachian open-marine condensed limestones with few micro-oncoids and more open-marine influence; 3) Toarcian open-marine condensed red limestones with hardgrounds; and 4) condensed red nodular Bositra Limestone. These four members are separated by hard - rounds representing stratigraphic gaps in deposition. The stepwise deepening during the early-Middle Jurassic follows the general trend of deposition as known in the whole Western Tethys realm above the Late Triassic Dachstein carbonate Platform.
Reductions in Management Distress Following a Randomized Distress Intervention Are Associated With Improved Diabetes Behavioral and Glycemic Outcomes Over Time
Authors: Hessler Danielle , Strycker Lisa , Fisher Lawrence
Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE

To explore associations between reductions in diabetes distress (DD) and improvements in glycemic outcomes among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the context of a DD randomized clinical trial.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Adults with T1D (N = 301) participated in a two-arm trial aimed at reducing DD (DD-focused OnTrack group vs. education-oriented KnowIt group). Mean age was 45.1 years; mean baseline HbA1c was 8.8% (73 mmol/mol). Individuals were assessed at baseline and 9 months later on DD, self-care, HbA1c, and frequency of hypoglycemia. Structural equation models evaluated hypothesized pathways among changes in DD, self-care, and glycemic outcomes in the total sample and by intervention group.

RESULTS

Reductions in DD were significantly and independently associated with better self-care, including fewer missed insulin boluses, more frequent insulin adjustment, improved problem-solving skills, more blood glucose monitoring, and greater adoption of continuous glucose monitoring (all P < 0.05). In turn, better self-care was linked with better glycemic outcomes, including fewer episodes of hypoglycemia and improved HbA1c over time. Fit indices indicated good fit of the model to the data (confirmatory fit index = 0.94, root mean square error of approximation = 0.05), with stronger and more meaningful associations for OnTrack than for KnowIt.

CONCLUSIONS

In the context of an intervention to reduce DD for adults with T1D, results indicate that reductions in DD do not affect glycemic outcomes directly but through improvements in self-care behavior. Findings support the importance of integrating disease management with DD interventions to maximize improvements in glycemic outcomes.
Synoptic Situation of 28-31 October 2017 Severe Dust Storm over Iraq
Authors: Majeed Husam T. , Qasim Hawraa Majid
Published: May 2021

The phenomenon of dust storms occurs in areas that are characterized by drought, and lack of rainfalls. There are many such areas around the world, including the Middle East in general and large parts of Iraq in particular. In the last week of October 2017, a severe dust storm occurred over Iraq and lasted for four days, the aim of this work was to investigate the synoptic situation of this severe storm using remote sensing data. Data include daily true-color images, Aerosols Index (AI), surface weather maps, and 850 Mb weather maps. These data were analyzed for the four days of the storm (28-31 Oct 2017). The results showed that the storm was triggered on the 28th of October over the northwestern part of Iraq. The weather maps revealed that the cause, development, and transport of this storm were caused by a low-pressure system. This system was developed just over the source area of dust on the first day of the storm, and two ridges in which one has existed over the north of Iran and the second advanced from Egypt during the second day of the storm. The pattern of the trough and two ridges on the second and third day caused the storm to halt over central and southwestern areas of Iraq and the northern border of Saudi Arabia with Iraq. On the fourth day, the storm was moved by the northwesterly wind towards the south of Iraq and Kuwait.

Authors: Hmood Abd Donia Q. , Abdul kareem Asraa K.
Published: May 2021

To know the reasons for changing the daily rainfall amount, cases study were chosen for Baghdad station by specifying the maximum and minimum daily rain for the months of the rainy season for each year of the study period (2007-2018). The behavior of daily rainfall for the rainy season varying temporally with maximum (89 mm) and minimum (0.1mm). Synoptic analysis of weather chart for pressure levels (300, 500, 700, 850, and surface) was performed. Visible images of satellites were used to determine the quantities of the cloud for the selected cases. The results showed that synoptic analysis in all cases occurs due to the presence of a jet stream in the upper atmosphere, accompanied by the presence of a basin at the level of 300 hectopascals with an enhancement of relative humidity exceeding 70% at the level of 700 hectopascals, but the presence of the front makes the amount of rain greater in the absence of it. At the level of 850 hectopascals and the surface, the depressions that affect Iraq also differ in their severity and the amount of moisture loaded.

Navigating indifference: Irish jobseekers’ experiences of welfare conditionality
Authors: Finn Philip
Published: May 2021

This paper analyses the impact of the intensification of work-related conditionality on the lived experience of jobseekers in Ireland. Post-crisis Ireland has witnessed the emergence of a definitive policy trajectory which seeks to enable a lifelong attachment to the labour force through work-related conditionality buttressed by sanctions. This mode of governing unemployment attempts a restructuring of the caseworker–claimant relationship through increased engagement, claimant adherence to mandatory conditions, and surveillance underpinned by potential reduction, suspension or loss of benefit. The paper provides a qualitative investigation of the lived experience of this impact through a thematic analysis of forty-two interviews with jobseekers in a county in the east of Ireland. The focus on the agency of jobseekers illustrates a system based on superficial engagement in which conditionality primarily operates as bureaucratic formality. This is reflective of a systemic indifference to claimants’ needs and circumstances, producing a performance of feigned compliance in response.
Arguments for a post-pandemic Public Employment Eco System in Ireland
Authors: Murphy Mary P.
Published: May 2021

The past was a different country, and the future will be different too. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought in its wake massive unemployment, shifting attention away from pre-pandemic labour market challenges. More labour market turbulence can be expected in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, digitalisation and automation, as well as climate-change-related transitions. In this context of such acute uncertainty, flexible, adaptable public employment institutions are a core requirement. Concerned with institution building, this paper explores how to maximise synergies in existing Public Employment Services (PES) while developing an ecosystem that can utilise all other available resources across public, private and not-for-profit national and local institutions. The political context for policy and institutional reform is a centralised, relatively small and open state which demonstrates some capacity to learn from previous crises and institutional reforms to tackle unemployment. The concept of a Strategic Action Field is used to deepen our understanding of the structure and agency dynamics underlying PES reform in the context of quasi-markets. A more systematic approach to institutional reform is needed that values a diversity of actors – this is visualised as a Public Employment Eco System (PEES) embedded in processes of network governance and collaborative innovation.
Effect of Diet Supplementation with Enterococcus Durans ED26E/7 and its Durancin ED26E/7 on Growth Performance, Caecal Enzymatic Activity, Jejunal Morphology and Meat Properties of Broiler Rabbits

The present study investigates the effects of Enterococcus durans ED26E/7 beneficial strain and its enterocin – durancin (Ent) ED26E/7 on selected parameters in rabbits: growth performance, caecal enzymatic activity, jejunal morphometry and meat physico-chemical characteristics. Seventytwo rabbits (aged five weeks, M91 meat line, both sexes) were divided into experimental groups E1 (E. durans ED26E/7 strain; dose 500 μL/animal/day, concentration 109 CFU/mL) and E2 (durancin EntED26E/7; dose 50 μL/animal/day, with activity 12 800 AU/mL) and control group (C). The additives were administered in drinking water for a period of 21 days. All animals remained in good health during the experiment. The highest body weight gain (increase by 1.5% compared to C) was noted in E1 group during ED26E/7 strain application (P<0.001). Both bioactive compounds positively influenced (reduced) the feed conversion ratio (P<0.001). The ED26E/7 strain and its EntED26E/7 application stimulated the activity of most enzymes tested in the caecum; only the amylolytic and inulolytic activity in E2 group decreased during durancin ED26E/7 addition. Both additives, but mainly the ED26E/7 strain, showed a tendency to improve the jejunal morhological parameters till the end of the experiment (day 42). The meat physico-chemical parameters were not negatively influenced by the application of E. durans ED26E/7 strain and its durancin ED26E/7. The diet supplementation with bacteriocinogenic and probiotic E. durans ED26E/7 strain and its EntED26E/7 may improve the growth performance, caecal enzymatic activity and jejunal morphometry of rabbits, without any negative effect on rabbit meat quality.

Feeding broilers diets high in n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) increases their incorporation into the meat but it may compromise meat quality due to oxidation of lipids and protein. Increased dietary vitamin E (vE) level downregulates this process, but its excessive level might exceed the physiological requirements for the maintenance of redox balance. This study investigated the sensory characteristics and oxidative status of meat from chickens fed diets supplemented with fish oil (FO) with or without gradually increasing doses of vE. The meat samples were obtained from a total of 27 female broilers of Ross 308 strain (9 birds per each of 3 dietary treatments), which were housed according to the standard management practice for commercial chicken houses over a period of 36 days. Chickens were fed diets containing 80 g/kg of supplemental fat, but the diets differed in fat composition; control diet (80 g/kg diet beef tallow as supplemental fat and a basal vE dose); 40 IU of dl-α-tocopheryl acetate; diet containing mixture of FO and beef tallow as supplemental fat (50:30 w/w g/kg diet) and a basal vE dose (E1), or diet (E2) as diet E1 but with gradually increasing vE dose (120/240 IU/kg diet fed between days 8–21 and days 22–36, respectively). The highest sensory quality and the lowest oxidative status of meat was found in the control chickens. FO decreased the sensory quality of the meat and increased lipid oxidation as well it had an impact on the lipid profile in muscle tissue (PUFA, n-3 ALA, EPA, DHA). Administration of a graded vE dose increased the sensory quality of the meat and did not limit lipid oxidation but maintained protein oxidation balance.
The Welfare Status of Hens in Different Housing Systems – A Review
Authors: Sosnówka-Czajka Ewa , Skomorucha Iwona , Herbut Eugeniusz
Published: May 2021

The currently used poultry farming methods, which aim to maximise economic profit, are based on ever new technological solutions that improve flock management and increase bird performance. However, they do not always meet the natural needs of birds. Every housing method and technological solution currently in use is faced with some issues, such as social stress, adverse temperature/ humidity conditions, risk of zoonoses, and behavioural pathologies, which determine poultry performance and welfare. Disregard for animal welfare involves not only ethical but also practical aspects, because well-being and housing comfort translate into better weight gains, health and productivity of the birds. The studies reported here suggest that every production system, despite the many welfare-improving aspects, causes numerous behavioural, productivity and health abnormalities in laying hens. Therefore, further research is needed to identify various risk factors for the purpose of improving housing systems and increasing the welfare of hens.

The gypsy moth is one of the most serious pests in forests and fruit tree plantations over prevailing parts of the Northern Hemisphere. This work is based on a literature review, and presents history of gypsy moth Lymantria dispar L., observed in Slovak forests within the period 1945–2020. The life cycle, hosts, natural enemies, population dynamics of pests, impact of outbreaks on forests and different management methods used in the past are discussed. Since 1945, there were nine gypsy moth outbreaks in Slovakia. Between 1945 and 2020, a total of 155,034 ha of deciduous forests were touched with varying intensity, representing an average annual damage of 2,040 ha. The strongest outbreak culminated in 2004. Totally 51,479 ha were attacked in the period of 2000–2008. We have found outbreak periods that repeat with frequency of 7.8 ±2.2 years and the average outbreak phase lasts 3.1 ±1.1 years. The period between two subsequent outbreaks seems to be more or less constant and duration of the outbreak phase seems to be gradually shortened during the study period. Several factors influencing the gypsy moth population dynamics in Slovakia are discussed. The role of biological control by using entomopathogenic fungus Entomophaga maimaiga is described.

Federal Accounting Standard 6/2020: Disputable issues of using some aspects of depreciation of fixed assets
Authors: KOPYLOVA Ekaterina K. , KOPYLOVA Tat'yana I.
Published: May 2021

Subject. Currently, it is still important to choose how depreciation is charged, since this exactly reflects how future economic benefits of fixed assets are allocated over time. Amendments to the Russian laws on the use of Federal Accounting Standard (FAS) 6/2020 Fixed Assets helped update not only the procedure, but also the terminology. This totally influence how depreciation is recognized as per accounting policies of a firm.
Objectives. The study focuses on the specifics of regulation and accounting for depreciation of fixed assets.
Methods. The methodology includes the methods of analysis, systematization, comparison and generalization of regulatory sources and scientific literature on the subject.
Results. We conducted the critical analysis of FAS 6/2020 in terms of using depreciation aspects, which relate to the useful life of a fixed asset, its drop value and depreciation method. Having analyzed regulatory documents, we summarized requirements to the useful life of fixed assets.
Conclusions and Relevance. Practical issues of the drop value assessment should be resolved with respect to international practices. We also suggest non-governmental regulators of the Russian accounting practice should outline guidelines for the assessment of the drop value. There are still pending issues concerning the calculation of depreciation when a fixed asset is not used each day of a month. The depreciation calculation method should be stipulated in accounting policies, like aspects of revising depreciation elements. Considering the use of FAS 6/2020, accounting policies should be updated to formulate the content of changed aspects. The findings may prove useful to accountants when updating accounting policies on the use of depreciation methods in 2022 and onward.
