Authors: Macedo Neto Avelar Oliveira , Silva Samuel Araujo Gomes da , Gonçalves Gabriela Persio , Torres Juliana Lustosa
Published: August 2022

Minority groups are more prone to worsen their personal and social vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to identify factors associated with the highest COVID-19 vulnerability in the Brazilian sexual and gender minorities. This is a cross-sectional study based on 826 respondents of the Brazilian LGBT+ Health Survey, conducted online from August to November 2020. The COVID-19 vulnerability was based on a previous vulnerability index created by an LGBT+ institution, which comprises three dimensions (income, COVID-19 exposure, and health). The outcome was the highest score quartile. Statistical analysis was based on logistic regression models. The COVID-19 vulnerability was higher in heterosexual and other scarce sexual orientations (OR = 2.34; 95%CI: 1.01-9.20, vs. homosexual), cisgender men (OR = 3.52; 95%CI: 1.35-4.44, vs. cisgender women), and those aged ≥ 50 years (OR = 3.74; 95%CI: 1.24-11.25, vs. 18-29 years old). A negative association was found with complete graduate education (OR = 0.06; 95%CI: 0.02-0.22, vs. complete high school), being white (OR = 0.44; 95%CI: 0.23-0.83), and proper facemask use (OR = 0.31; 95%CI: 0.13-0.76). Except for proper facemask use, factors associated with higher COVID-19 vulnerability are structural determinate and suggest overlapping vulnerabilities, as described by the syndemic model. It guides strategies to deal with the pandemic, which includes a joint approach to the common epidemic that affects sexual and gender minorities, broadening the intersectoral approach to decrease inequalities.
O belo animal, o drama pós-catástrofe e o paradigma testemunhal
Authors: Lima Rainério dos Santos
Published: August 2022

Resumo O estudo parte da noção de “belo animal” para pensar os paradigmas compositivos do drama contemporâneo na esteira das reflexões de Jacques Rancière e Jean-Pierre Sarrazac. Nesse caminho crítico, a imagem anatômica da fábula teatral, ainda presente em teóricos modernos como Hegel e Peter Szondi, é deslocada para uma metáfora teratológica que propõe o mythos como reminiscência e testemunho, político e íntimo, do sujeito ficcional. A lógica sintagmática da ação, o drama-na-vida, é remontada em uma razão inorgânica e regressiva da sequência dos atos, consubstanciando um tratamento estético que, como Paixão e Processo, caracteriza o que denominamos de dramaturgia pós-catástrofe.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the influence of federal feeding programs on the anthropometric indicators of nutritional status of adolescents from Federal Institutes. Methods Temporal analysis of the anthropometric data of students from the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (n=250), on admission in 2017 (baseline) and after one year, in 2018 (follow-up). Participation in student assistance programs, sociodemographic, anthropometric, dietary, and physical activity aspects were evaluated. The Split Plot ANOVA test was used to analyze height-for-age and body mass index-for-age as continuous variables (mean of z-score; variation in the mean of z-score between baseline and follow-up). Prevalence Ratio was used to analyze categorical variables: improvement in height-for-age (increase in z-score value between baseline and follow-up); improvement in body mass index-for-age (change in z-score towards zero between baseline and follow-up). Results There was a reduction in the height-for-age z-score (-0.173 to -0.350; p<0.001; eta=0.195), but this decline was smaller in the participants of both programs (from -0.249 to -0.357) compared to those not assisted by both simultaneously (from -0.149 to -0.345) (p=0.041). The improvement in height-for-age was positively associated with longer daily time spent at school and participation in the food program under the National Student Assistance Program. The improvement in body mass index-for-age was negatively associated with sex and positively with the number of people in the household. Conclusion The concomitant participation in the National School Feeding Program and in the National Student Assistance Program had a positive influence on the linear growth of students in situations of socioeconomic vulnerability.

ABSTRACT Although the semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil is a major producer of yellow passion fruit, the problems of salts in the soil and water sources, in many areas have limited the growth and production of this crop, which highlights the importance of studies aimed at reducing such effects. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of pyruvate, as a mitigator of salt stress, on the morphophysiology of yellow passion fruit, in seedling phase. The treatments consisted of three electrical conductivities of irrigation water (ECw: 0.8, 2.4, and 4.0 dS m-1) and three concentrations of pyruvate (0, 25, and 50 mM), distributed in a randomized block experimental design in a 3 × 3 factorial scheme, with four replications and two plants per plot. Irrigation with ECw of 4.0 dS m-1 reduces growth variables, phytomass, Dickson quality index, and increases electrolyte leakage in passion fruit seedlings cv. Redondo Amarelo. Exogenous application of calcium pyruvate (25 and 50 mM) increased growth, phytomass, Dickson quality index, relative water content and leaf succulence and reduced electrolyte leakage in the leaf blade in passion fruit. Exogenous application of pyruvate attenuates salt stress, with beneficial effects on CO2 assimilation rate, transpiration, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency, intrinsic water use efficiency, and root dry mass.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the influence of organic matter on the salt accumulation in three layers of soil cultivated with noni plants irrigated with brackish water, in open field and under partial shading conditions. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, arranged in a split-split-plot scheme with five replicates. The plots were constituted by the cultivation environments (open and shaded field), the subplots by the electrical conductivity of the irrigation water (0.3, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1), and the sub-subplots by the absence and presence of organic matter. At 110 days after application of the treatments, the electrical conductivity of the saturation extract and the potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations were determined in three soil layers (0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm). Partial shading reduced the total accumulation of salts and sodium in the soil compared to the open field. Increasing the electrical conductivity of irrigation water reduced potassium concentrations in the soil, but this effect is offset by the addition of organic matter, which releases potassium, calcium, and magnesium for plant nutrition. However, cattle manure increases sodium accumulation in the soil in treatments with the highest water salinity.

ABSTRACT An efficient water management in irrigation is essential to optimize water efficiency, especially when using brackish water. Thus, the present study was carried out aiming to analyze gas exchanges, pod production, and the water status of peanut plants under increasing levels of salinity (electrical conductivity of 0.12, 1.6, 2.8, 4.0, and 5.2 dS m-1) and the application of the irrigation depth via pulses. A randomized block design in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme was used with four replications, adding up to forty experimental units. The experiment was carried out in drainage lysimeters, at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, in open fields from September to November 2019. It was concluded that the use of pulse drip irrigation did not mitigate the deleterious effect of salinity but promoted higher grain and pod production compared to continuous drip irrigation. It was also found that the use of brackish water via pulse drip irrigation promotes greater water use efficiency compared to continuous drip irrigation, and that the increase in the electrical conductivity of the water reduced the water, pressure, and osmotic potentials, along with the osmotic adjustment.

ABSTRACT Although leaching fraction (LF) is used to remove salts from the root zone under conditions of salinity, if miscalculated, it can decrease water use efficiency and lead to major losses of essential nutrients. This study evaluated the water use efficiency, leaf nutrient concentrations in maize plants, and nutrient losses as a function of two ways of determining the LF in maize crop grown in soil columns under salt stress. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with treatments arranged in split plots, with seven replicates. The plots were formed by two methods of determination of LF, and the subplots by four electrical conductivities of irrigation water - ECw (0.5, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 dS m-1). The leaching fractions were established according to 1) the formula proposed by Rhoades (RHO) and 2) by applying a LF of 0.15 calculated according to the soil water balance (SWB). The leaf concentrations of N, P, Ca, and Mg were higher in plants under SWB than under RHO method. The leaf concentrations of N, P, and K decreased with increased salinity, regardless of the LF. Adding a LF of 0.15 according to SWB resulted in decreased losses of nutrients and higher physical water productivity, as compared to the RHO. Thus, a more precise determination of the LF is needed to increase economic returns for maize cultivation in semi-arid regions when using brackish water for irrigation.

ABSTRACT Guava is a fruit widely produced in Northeast Brazil, a region that has sources of water with high levels of salts, making it difficult for irrigated fruit production to expand. Thus, it is extremely important to search for techniques that allow the management of these waters in irrigated agriculture. Thus, the objective of present study was to evaluate the photosynthetic pigments, the quantum yield of photosystem II, and the intercellular leakage of electrolytes in the leaf blade of ‘Paluma’ guava seedlings as a function of irrigation with water of different salinities and foliar application of salicylic acid during rootstock formation phase. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using the randomized block design in a 5 × 5 factorial arrangement, which consisted of five values of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (0.6, 1.5, 2.4, 3.3, and 4.2 dS m-1) and five concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 0.8, 1.6, 2.4, and 3.2 mM L-1), with four replicates, and two plants per plot. Salicylic acid up to 1.3 mM L-1 increased the relative water content and decreased electrolyte leakage in the leaf blade of ‘Paluma’ guava seedlings. Foliar application of salicylic acid at a concentration of 1.7 mM L-1 attenuated the effects of salt stress on chlorophyll a of guava seedlings irrigated with water of up to 1.6 dS m-1. The deleterious effects of salt stress on carotenoid concentration and quantum efficiency of photosystem II were not attenuated by the application of salicylic acid.

ABSTRACT With the expansion of sugarcane cultivation in the semiarid region of Brazil, there is a constant risk of soil salinization because of the edaphoclimatic peculiarities of the region, requiring studies to identify genotypes tolerant to salt stress. This study evaluated the agrotechnological characteristics of sugarcane cultivars irrigated with salinized water. This study was performed in the experimental area of the Academic Unit of Agricultural Engineering of the Federal University of Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil. The treatments consisted of a combination of two sugarcane cultivars (SP 81 3250 and RB 92 579) and five levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.6, 1.6, 2.6, 3.6, and 4.6 dS m-1). A randomized block design was used in a 2 × 5 factorial scheme with four replicates, totaling 40 experimental units. The sugarcane cultivar SP 81 3250 under irrigation with saline water of 0.6, 1.6, and 2.6 dS m-1 promoted a greater number of leaves in relation to RB 92 579, 125 days after planting. The salinity of the irrigation water varying from 0.6 to 4.6 dS m-1 reduces the culm height and culm mass per clump of the sugarcane, regardless of the cultivar. The sugarcane cultivar RB 92 579 had the highest culm height, number of tillers, culm mass per clump, percentage of apparent sugars, soluble solids, polarized sucrose, and total recoverable sugars, whereas SP 81 3250 had the highest percentage of water-insoluble matter contained in the cane, regardless of water salinity.

Abstract A new species of Cyphocharax is described from the Upper Paraíba do Sul River basin, São Paulo, Brazil based on integrated morphological and molecular delimitation criteria. It is morphologically distinguished from its congeners by the presence of a round, dark blotch at the midlength of the caudal peduncle not extending to the proximal portions of the median caudal-fin rays, 19–20 circumpeduncular scales, 34–41 perforated lateral-line scales, 6–7 longitudinal scale rows above and below the lateral line, greatest body depth corresponding to 34.7–39.9% of standard length (SL), and the caudal peduncle depth corresponding to 13.3–15.2% of SL. The lowest genetic distances between the new species and other congeners are: 2.5% from C. gilbert, followed by 3.0% from C. santacatarinae, and 3.2% from C. aff. gilbert. All species delimitation criteria employed herein corroborated the recognition of the new species. In addition, comments on its conservation status are provided.

Published: August 2022

A qualitative, phenomenological approach was used in this study to examine how undergraduate Latina students in computing leveraged community cultural wealth (CCW) to succeed in college. Preliminary findings suggest that students leveraged familial, navigational, and resistant capital to succeed in higher education computing spaces. Latina students derived valuable knowledge and skills from their families that they translated into their computing spaces, including content and industry knowledge, traits such as confidence and self-efficacy, and assistance with educational logistics. Students utilized family relationships, online academic resources, classroom peers, student organizations, and campus offices to navigate the challenges they encountered. Students also resisted marginalization in both internal (e.g., individual persistence) and external (e.g., speaking up against injustice) ways to benefit themselves and support future Latina students entering computing fields. Specifically, students leveraged their positions within identity-based student organizations and the larger computing field to mentor and serve as role models. This study suggests that scholars and practitioners might support Latina students by broadening their view of support networks, closing gaps in the computing curriculum, involving family, and acknowledging and removing burdens on minoritized students.
Aggregate dissolution kinetics
Authors: Giebson Colin , Seyfarth Katrin , Ludwig Horst Michael
Published: August 2022

The alkali–silica reaction (ASR) starts with the dissolution of silica in alkali-reactive aggregates. Besides the thermodynamic basics of silica dissolution, kinetic data are needed to model ASR in order to describe the temporal course of the reaction. Although the dissolution kinetics of silica has been investigated frequently, data for concrete-like environments (pH > 12) and under special influences, such as de-icer impact by sodium chloride (NaCl) or the release of aluminium (Al) from feldspars, are rare or missing. In the present study, long-term (2.5 years) dissolution tests were performed to obtain kinetic data for two types of aggregate (granodiorite, rhyolite) under concrete-like conditions (pH 13.8, with/without calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and sodium chloride) at temperatures of 25, 45 and 60°C. The findings show that silica dissolution rates effective for ASR differ up to four orders of magnitude, ranging from (log r1) −13.13 to −9.96 mol/m2s as a function of aggregate type, temperature, sodium chloride concentration and calcium hydroxide. Besides a predominant influence of temperature and calcium hydroxide, sodium chloride promotes the dissolution of silica and lowers the aluminium concentration, especially at higher temperatures. The activation energy for silica dissolution (84 ± 4 kJ/mol) did not change significantly in the presence of sodium chloride.

Es importante tener en cuenta que, la literatura ecuatoriana es estudiada en tres etapas de manera cronológica, la que corresponde a la Generación del 30 es la segunda de estas etapas; esta fue inspirada por la Revolución francesa que generó réplicas en Rusia y en América, en cuanto a la que surgió en Ecuador, al crearse una mixtura con las realidades sociales propias, vivenciadas en la zona geográfica por su forma de gobierno que permitió opresiones a los ciudadanos de clase obrera, los cholos, los negros, y los indígenas, tuvo sus propias características, además en el caso de la opresión del grupo indígena dio lugar al “indigenismo”, siendo el mismo una corriente que estudia las culturas indígenas y cuestiona de manera directa el etnocentrismo que perjudica a estos grupos, y no sólo se limita a esto sino que defiende a la cultura indígena y enfrenta los modelos discriminatorios de la época. A su vez la réplica en Ecuador de esta revolución dio origen a denominada “Generación de los 30”, que en el ámbito literario, dio a luz novelas y cuentos que relatan la discriminación, el sufrimiento resultado de las injusticias sociales, por lo cual se encuentran inmersas en el realismo y ya no en el idealismo romántico.
Linking gestural representations to syllable count judgments: A cross-language test
Authors: Popescu Anisia , Chitoran Ioana
Published: August 2022

A special class of English words with tense vowel/diphthong nuclei and liquid codas receive variable syllable count judgments (one or over-one syllables). Tilsen and Cohn (2016) showed that differences in judgments correlate with differences in production, supporting their hypothesis that metaphonological judgments and speech motor control share a common representation. In the present study, we further propose that syllable count judgments are related to subsegmental representations in the rime, and are independent of acoustic duration. We test the hypothesis by comparing English and German, chosen for their similar word structure and vowel length contrast, and their crucial difference in the gestural specification of coda liquids. In English, coda liquids have an earlier vocalic gesture relative to the consonantal one, while in German, both gestures are simultaneous. We stipulated that sesquisyllabic (over-one) judgments are related to the count of sequentially-timed vocalic gestures in the rime. The difference in the coda liquid composition between the two languages predicts that sesquisyllables should not emerge in German. Our predictions were confirmed by the results of parallel production (acoustic) and syllable count judgment experiments in English and German. We propose a model accounting for these results and we discuss its typological implications and its limitations.

Innovations as a factor of economic growth in the Russian regions: Econometric analysis
Authors:   Perm State University, Shimanovsky Dmitriy Viktorovich
Published: August 2022

Today, the extensive sources of economic growth in progressive countries are rather stable and do not drive GDP growth. The number of the employed and the accumulation of physical capital in these states show an insignificant change over a time horizon of up to ten years. Thus, economic growth is likely to be determined by the advancements in labor and applied equipment. At the same time, innovations act as a factor that increases the average efficiency of the economic resources used. Therefore, the stimulation of innovative activity can be one of the main sources for intensive economic growth. The study is devoted to the analysis of innovations in various regions of Russia and innovations’ impact on GRP growth. This article aims at identifying the contribution of the innovation component to the growth of the economy in the regions of the Russian Federation. The stated goal requires panel data based econometric methods. The results of the study give the conclusion that there are domestic and imported innovations. Imported innovations are determined by the dynamics in the import of scientific educational services. At the same time, the 2014–2019 economic sanctions did not affect imported scientific and technological progress. The results of the calculations show that innovation and the accumulation of human capital have become the main factors in Russia’s GDP growth since 2014. Consequently, the stimulation of innovative activity may affect the growth of both the domestic economy as a whole and its individual regions. The conducted research may be of interest to the government bodies handling the economy. Further research should be focused on the public management methods at the level of innovation for better performance.
Assessment of the impact of associated gas flaring on the radial growth of Pinus Sylvestris (Ozernoe oil field, Perm region, Russia)

Published: August 2022

The paper discusses the question of influence of associated gas flaring on radial growth of Pinus sylvestris. The studied area is Ozernoye oil field of Krasnovishersky district of Perm region (Russia). The main research method is dendrochronological analysis. The wood cores of Pinus sylvestris were selected in the summer of 2020 using a Pressler increment borer according to the standard methodology. Cores were taken from two plots. The main plot is 100 m from the associated gas flaring torch and background plot is 11 km from the torch. The calculation and measurement of the width of the radial growth of wood were made on the machine for measuring tree rings – LINTAB 6. Numerical parameters of wood growth obtained for both plots. The average value growth of wood at the main plot is 1.426 mm/year; at the background plot – 1.808 mm/year. The relative decrease of average growth of wood over 20 years before and after the start of associated gas flaring at the main plot 1.45 times higher than at the background plot. The radial growth decreases systematically at both plots for 20 years since the beginning of associated gas flaring. But the rates of decrease are 1.52–1.67 times higher near the torch. The trend for recovery, as well as increase in the growth values, 10-20 years after the start of associated gas flaring, was not revealed. Therefore, the explicit negative impact of associated gas combustion on the radial growth of wood in nearest forest were noted. Maximum growth rates at the main plot were noted for trees ages 0-55 years. It is not supporting the conclusions of some researches [7,37] that Pinus sylvestris has the most intense growth during 30-35 years old. Revealed [37] high levels of chemical and dust atmospheric contamination, reducing growth of wood, most likely cannot be achieved by the associated gas flaring by the single torch. Positive (fertilizing) influence of Ca, K, Na, Mg, Mn [29,30] compounds emissions is not marked as well. We guess that thermal – is the main negative factor for the plot near associated gas flaring. Our research could be continued to the studying of the influence of spatial, climatic aspects, volume and intensity of gas flaring process on the state of forest stand.

Data are reported about the formation of phytoplankton and phytoperiphyton communities in Lake Khedo (Karelia republic, White Sea catchment) under the effect of effluent discharges from a trout farm. The purpose of this paper is to assess how informative phytoperiphyton structural parameters are, and to assess the feasibility of using them for biological monitoring of river quality. The influence of anthropogenic impacts on periphyton communities was analyzed in terms of species richness, species diversity, species ecology values, biomass and chlorophyll concentration. At present, effluents discharged into the lake from the trout farm cause no profound transformations in the structure of aquatic organism communities. The results of the chemical analysis of water indicate a low level of anthropogenic influence. Although a slight increase in the concentration of suspended matter and heavy metals in the water near the cages was recorded. The structure of algae communities is due primarily to specific hydrographic location and hydrological characteristics of lake. The composition and ratio of most common species of algae communities in the lake is typical for cold-water, oligotrophic reservoirs of the boreal and subarctic zones, with low mineralization, not experiencing a significant anthropogenic load. The biotic indices and hydrochemical indicators indicated mainly a low degree of pollution, so the lake waters could be classified as belonging to water purity class II. Relatively high values of the abundance and biomass of phytoplankton and phytoperiphyton, in the Lake Khedo comparing to the average values for the studied region make it possible to conclude on the favorable conditions in the lake and on the stability of communities.
La noche propia de Lina Meruane
Authors: QUINTANA Cécile
Published: August 2022

El alcance metaliterario de la novela Sangre en el ojo (2012) de Lina Meruane raya en el hecho de emparejar la ceguera de la narradora-escritora con la imaginación del ciego obligado a inventar formas que no ve. Así, la imagen de un mundo de tinieblas termina siendo una acertada metáfora del mundo de la ficción, entendido como un horizonte abierto sin formas predefinidas. Al respecto, la novela Patas de perro de Droguett (1965) constituye un hipotexto decisivo. Lo que también logra la voz narradora autoficcional, gracias a su ceguera creativa, es delinear, al fin, los bordes de su propia verdad de sujeto, tanto en su dimensión íntima como colectiva.
Télétravail malgré soi et confinement lors de la pandémie Covid-19
Authors: BAUJARD Corinne
Published: August 2022

Le télétravail en période de confinement, mis en place soudainement en France, le 17 mars 2020, occupe l’actualité économique de ces dernières semaines. Les terrains de recherche sur le télétravail ont été fréquemment l’occasion de présenter des bienfaits prometteurs pour les salariés : gain de temps en raison de l’absence des déplacements, équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée, souplesse des horaires de travail, environnement silencieux afin d’échapper aux sollicitations bruyantes du travail répétitif. Le déploiement des relations numériques et l’engorgement quotidien des grandes villes renforcent ces attentes. Si la nécessité de protéger la santé des salariés afin d’assurer un certain équilibre entre la modalité de travail à distance et la protection de la vie privée, aucune étude n’a pris en considération les démarches de télétravail imposé dans le cadre d’un confinement inédit à ce jour.
Les défis d’isolement social, les atteintes à la santé psychologique professionnelle sont l’occasion de réfléchir au travail à domicile, surtout lorsque celui-ci se fonde sur un recours sans préparation et sans concertation préalable.
Dans ce contexte, les conséquences humaines sont délicates à appréhender, les phénomènes de résilience tout autant. C’est dire que les retours d’expériences sont primordiaux pour comprendre les situations de conflits potentiels des salariés en situation de confinement. En quoi l’aménagement de la continuité du travail à distance en période de pandémie présente-t-il un risque social pour les salariés ? Comment l’organisation porte-t-elle une attention aux salariés contraints par la situation ? Quel travail de l’expérience des salariés peut-on produire pour la recherche en formation ?
Une démarche exploratoire a conduit à privilégier une réflexion de type « partie prenante de la découverte progressive » relativement ouverte sur des sources secondaires (journaux, émissions de télévision, internet). Puis, à partir de la théorie enracinée (Glaser - Strauss, 1967), il a été procédé au codage des entretiens retranscrits et à la rédaction de mémos explicatifs qui permettent de conserver les pensées, les commentaires à explorer. Toutefois, on ne peut pas encore envisager toute la portée de la forme d’organisation improvisée ou clandestine du travail des salariés contraints par la situation sanitaire qui va émerger de cette situation inédite en période de confinement. Il apparaît en tout cas que le manque de préparation de cette expérience particulière aux circonstances méconnues devient un analyseur identitaire de la pratique du télétravail de demain.

The subject and purpose of the work: the possibility of separating the spectral flux densities of the active core and the jet of sources (3C 120, 3C 273, 3C 345, 3C 454.3, 3C 446, Bl Lac, CTA 102, OJ 287, OT 081) is considered. The data of long-term monitoring of changes in the integral flux of extragalactic radio sources performed on the 26-meter telescope of the University of Michigan UMRAO (1969–2012) at frequencies of 14.5, 8, 4.8 GHz are used. Also, data on the core flux and images of active galactic nuclei at a frequency of 15–15.4 GHz VLBA monitoring MOJAVE are used. The subject of this work is to separate the jet flow from the integral flux from the source, as well as to compile the catalog of the quasi-periods of variability of nuclei and jets separately. Methods and methodology: Fourier-periodogram analysis is used to distinguish long-term and short-period variability of nuclei and jets of extragalactic sources. Autocorrelation calculations were carried out in order to confirm the periods of variability. Results: conclusions were made about the applicability of the described method for separating the jet flux, and a catalog of long-term and short-period variability of radio emission fluxes from nuclei and jets for the investigated radio sources was compiled.
THE CATEGORY OF «PEACE» IN RICHELIEU’S «POLITICAL TESTAMENT»: GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Authors:   Luhansk State University of Internal Affairs named after E.O. Didorenko, Sаrаnоv Serhii
Published: August 2022

The presented article discusses the general characteristics of the category of «peace» in the «Political testament» of Cardinal Richelieu. The «Political testament» reflects the key issues of the state development of France of the 30-40 s. XVII century. The scale of the questions covered and problems, the level of theoretical understanding of the actual material gives this work special significance. Not studied for a long time at a complex level, quoted selectively and template, the «political will» today receives proper coverage in the works of representatives of French historiography. Of particular importance is the consideration of the category of «peace» in the «Political testament». When characterizing the methodological foundations of the presented article, the author defines the category of «peace» as including all aspects of the development of religion (ideology) and political means of achieving political goals that are not related to the war. The category of “peace” in the interpretation of the author also acts as a common views on the state and law. Thus, the category of «peace» is considered in a wider angle. Based on the proposed definition, the author traces the possibilities of its application as part of the analysis of the text of the «Political testament». When assessing the content side of the «peace» category, the degree of ratio of moral aspects in it with the problems of achieving a political goal, the need to also take into account elements of general historiographic discussions regarding the key aspects of the “peace” category in the “Political testament”. The difference between Richelieu and Machiavelli is, from the author’s point of view, one of the key aspects that allow us to understand at the methodological level the cardinal’s interpretation of the category of “peace” in full. The positions of modern French historiography of the researched question are also analyzed. The author concludes that when analyzing the category of «peace» in the «Political testament», the cardinal’s negative attitude towards militarism in “pure form” becomes obvious. Richelieu’s goal was to create an «ideal», closed and not accessible for external and internal hostile influences of the political space embodied in the state, withdrawn from the «reasonable policy of the mind». In the light of this, it retains the cognitive character and methodological significance in the analysis of the «peace» category model of the three -term characteristics of Richelieu, the French historian Rolan Munier, which allows him to see him as «prelates», «noble» and «man» of King Louis XIII. This model also allows us to outline further prospects for the study of the problems of the «peace» category in the «Political testament», taking into account the considerations expressed by the author.
Lübnan Tezkereleri Üzerinden Türkiye’nin Barışı Destekleme Harekâtlarına Katılım Motivasyonlarına Yönelik Bir İnceleme
Authors: Akgul Fatih
Published: August 2022

Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’nin (TSK) yurt dışında kullanılması teklifleri olarak hükûmet tezkereleri, kimi zaman rutin bir Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi (TBMM) işlemi olarak yürütülmekte kimi zaman da toplumun tüm kesimlerince günlerce tartışılmakta, hatta siyasi krizlere neden olabilmektedir. Özellikle tartışmalı tezkereler; ulusal güvenlik ve dış politika açısından hayati kararlara veya Türk siyasal hayatındaki dönüm noktalarına dönüşebilmekte, aynı zamanda Türkiye’nin Barışı Destekleme Harekâtlarına (BDH) katılım politikalarına ilişkin önemli ipuçları verebilmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı; literatür taraması ve içerik analizi yöntemlerinden ve sosyal inşacı yaklaşımdan yararlanarak, United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon-II (UNIFIL-II) katılımı örneği üzerinden, tezkerelerin ve dolayısıyla BDH’na katılım kararlarının arkasındaki karmaşık yapı ve etkenleri ortaya koymak ve Türkiye’nin BDH’na katılımlarındaki temel motivasyonlarının neler olduğuna ilişkin çıkarımlarda bulunmaktır. Makale; Türkiye’nin BM Lübnan misyonuna katılımında başlangıçta dış faktörlerin etkili olduğunu, fakat sonraki yıllarda iç motivasyonların daha etkili hale geldiğini, hem söylem hem de eylemlere yansıyan bu değişimin ise sosyal inşacı yaklaşımla daha iyi açıklanabileceğini iddia etmektedir. Bunun yanında, çok girdili ve hassas dengeler üzerine kurulu katılım kararlarının iç siyaset konusu haline geldiğinde yanlış yönlendirme ve tehlikeli ayrışmalara da yol açabildiği görülmektedir.

Published: August 2022

This paper reviews the weighted average approach of rating systems among the restaurant industries globally. Such review is crucial to developing Halal Compliance Rating (HCR) tool within the halal-certified restaurants in Malaysia as all as in other parts of the world. Halal-certified restaurants are in the Halal food and beverage (F&B) industry. At this moment, the Halal F&B industry does not have any standard rating method to rate the level of halal compliance practice of halal-certified restaurants. Hence, the objective of the study is to investigate the methods of restaurant rating globally and adopt the best-suited method to develop an HCR tool within halal-certified restaurants. Simultaneously, the study finds and recommends suitable linguistic and symbolic expressions for different ratings of halal compliance. To achieve the objectives, an extensive literature review was carried out. Additionally, to develop the HCR tool, the study used the ten components of halal compliance identified and weighted by Azam (2021). The findings show an example of using and calculating the HCR tool to rate the halal compliance of a restaurant and expressing the ratings linguistically and/or symbolically. Simultaneously, this paper justifies the use of the weighted average approach for rating halal-certified restaurants. Finally, it provides recommendations for future research to establish a standard HCR tool globally.

Published: August 2022

The placenta is a transitory organ that is situated between the mother and the foetus. This vital organ which has nutritional, endocrine and immunologic functions so as to maintain pregnancy and promote fetal development. Several factors are related to the proper functioning of the placenta including foetal and maternal blood flow, appropriate nutrients, expression and function of receptors and transporters, and also the morphology of the placenta itself. Gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes are among the most frequent obstetric disorders during pregnancy.  Pregnancies complicated with one or both of these disorders are also associated with adverse consequences for the mother and infant (both acute and long-term). Preeclampsia being one of the toxemias of pregnancy is a condition of increased blood pressure accompanied by proteinuria, edema or both. Various changes like increased syncytial knots, cytotrophoblastic cell proliferation, villous stromal fibrosis and fibrinoid necrosis was observed in placenta from preeclamptic cases. Diabetes mellitus can be defined as a chronic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels and a disruption in fat and protein metabolism. In pregnancies affected by diabetes mellitus also several changes occur like placental size, increased glycogen deposits, increased volume of intervillous space and terminal villi, fibrinoid areas, and glycogen deposits compared to others.

All these changes may result in functional changes in this organ thus limiting the wellbeing of the developing foetus. Therefore, this review as a whole gives an overview of morphological changes at macroscopic and histological levels seen in the placenta from gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
