Authors: Gonçalves Renata
Published: November 2023

Há 30 anos acontecia o I Encontro Nacional de Mulheres Negras na cidade de Valença-RJ. Era o ano do centenário da abolição, que serviu como mote para debates, em diferentes partes do país, sobre a condição de negros e negras. Vários Coletivos de mulheres negras, que se organizavam desde os anos 1970 no bojo da efervescência feminista e da luta antirracista, reivindicaram suas pautas. De onde ninguém esperava, surgia um novo movimento social, com reivindicações próprias, dando passagem a uma consciência política, cujas protagonistas, de uma só vez, num único e enovelado processo, escancaravam as três contradições que estruturam a sociedade: patriarcado-capitalismo-racismo.

Consultation in the Alberta oil sands
Authors: Schocat Charmain
Published: November 2023

Indigenous calls for sovereignty, recognition of ancestral claims, and territorial rights are topics that are becoming increasingly relevant in Canada, particularly as industry continues to put pressure on provincial and federal governments to develop on Indigenous people’s traditional territory. Through the aggressive push for development and extraction of natural resources, two very different ontological perspectives of the land are coming into contact, often with the result that projects are delayed and/or brought to the courts, as well as arguably sabotaging efforts of collaboration and reconciliation in other areas of social and political life (Boyd and Lorefice 2018:573). Indeed, the settler-colonial ontological perspective of the land that believes that “any natural resource not used [is] wasted” (Davis 2018:145) conflicts with many First Nations’ traditional systems of stewardship and sustainability (Turner and Jones 2000). As such, a critical space that is worthy of examination is the consultation process because the duty to consult is legally mandated and is one of the few spaces in which the two “ways of knowing” the land come into contact. Accordingly, the research questions which guided my analysis include an examination of how the different ontological perspectives come into conflict when they make contact within the consultation process and what is required for meaningful consultations to take place that accommodate both ontological perspectives. Finding a way to identify and provide solutions to issues of land is of particular importance to contemporary society, as both Indigenous and settler-colonial people draw important connections between the land and their distinct identity and heritage, and neither are going to cede quietly to the other. Further, the need for cooperation is vital in a world where issues of land will become increasingly relevant because of climate change and scarcity of natural resources. In this way anthropology is demonstrably contributing to social issues in society, as the discipline that cultivates the ability to accommodate for, and critically examine, numerous and conflicting worldviews.
Introduction of the educational trajectory for training workers in the ship repair field in Primorsky Kray
Authors: Kriukov Aleksei Alekseevich
Published: November 2023

The use of educational technology, namely the educational trajectory, is considered on the example of the educational process at the Vladivostok Shipbuilding College in the specialty “Installation and maintenance of ship machinery and mechanisms”. This pedagogical technology is used throughout the entire training program for the training of a mid-level specialist in project activities, which completes each stage of training. During the entire period of four-year training, the future specialist studies various subjects, academic disciplines and professional modules. As part of the training, individual, course and diploma projects and works are used as the final stage of their development. The totality of all projects can be built into a single, but individual educational trajectory, which allows for training from the academic discipline “Introduction to the specialty” to the defense of the final qualifying work. The use of this pedagogical technology has made it possible to build a system of training middle-level specialists in such a way that a student can independently determine the vector of further development of both a specialist and a personality. The assessment of the application of this pedagogical technology based on the results of the state certification of students for a five-year period is presented. The results of the analysis of statistical data indicate the positive dynamics of the results of the protection of final qualification works, and also reveal the features of the results at key points. In general, the pedagogical technology under consideration has determined the possibilities of improving the methodological, material, technical, scientific base for the training of a mid-level specialist on the basis of the Vladivostok Shipbuilding College.
Research results of marine diesel engine harmful emissions reducing by supplying additional components into the cylinder
Authors: Grabarchuk Alexander Yuryevich , Romokhov Konstantin Vladimirovich , Vasilyev Alexander Viktorovich , Pokusaev Mikhail Nikolaevich
Published: November 2023

A study was conducted in order to reduce harmful emissions of marine diesel by feeding additional components into the cylinder due to stricter requirements for the level of harmful emissions from marine power plants. It is noted that it is most difficult to achieve compliance with environmental requirements for diesel engines that have been built for more than 20 years and have been operated on ships for a long time. The use of complex methods to improve their environmental characteristics can lead to a significant increase in the cost of measures to modernize them and increase operating costs. The supply of additional components to diesel cylinders to reduce harmful NOx and COx emissions is considered. The experiments were carried out on a marine diesel generator based on diesel 1H17.5/24 with the use of water and ethanol supply to the cylinder. As a result of high-pressure water supply, a 30% reduction in NOx was noted, and no reduction in COx was noted. When ethanol is supplied, it is revealed that there is a positive effect on the reduction of NOx, but there is an increase in CO and exhaust gas temperature, which does not make it possible to unambiguously determine the positive effect. Additional research is required on the use of ethanol and other components as additional components to improve the environmental performance (reduce emissions) of marine diesel engines. Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of using alcohol solutions, changing the amount and time of supply of ethanol and other additional components to obtain more effective indicators.

Despite being disbanded, HTI activities in Indonesia are allegedly continuing through signals and ideologies that still exist. Muslimahnews.com is a propaganda media with the hashtag ‘Inspirational and Educating’ under this organization. Muslimahnews.com puts its segmentation on Islamic women’s groups in Indonesia with content that is. This paper uncovers how and why Muslimahnews.com dominates women through texts containing the Khilafah ideology. The analysis shows that the texts on Muslimahnews.com have a structuration that harmoniously perpetuates seduction and threats. The media, which is part of HTI, urged its agents, especially women, to revive the Khilafah ideology. Women internalize these values, then unknowingly become victims of the intensification and normalization of their power practice agenda.

Authors: HARUTYUNYAN MARIANNA , ALEKSANYAN MERY
Published: November 2023

The planning of cooperative work in the process of providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special educational needs, as well as the detection, study, assessment, prevention and modern professional interventions are among the important issues, which justify the importance of collaboration between psycho-pedagogical support team members while providing support in different settings to learners with different needs.  The planning of cooperative work with children with special educational needs is a very responsible and important process, in this case, the cooperation of specialists considered to be a point of interest, as well as the direct connection of the specialist with the relatives and parents of the child.

As such, there is a few literatures on collaborative work between specialists providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special educational needs, and there is no any representing the situation in Armenia or presented in Armenian language literature as such, despite the fact that in various developmental centers, public schools and regional psycho-pedagogical support centers, they are already trying to collaborate and make the work process more structured.

Within the frame of this study observation and literature review as research methodology are used to understand the main gaps and challenges of cooperative work between specialists while providing psycho-pedagogical support to children with special education needs.
Comparison of lidocaine and lidocaine-xylazine for distal paravertebral anesthesia in dairy cattle
Authors: Klein Sarah E. , Dodam John R. , Ge Bin , Strawn Monica , Varner Kelley M.
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine the time of onset and duration of action of distal paravertebral blocks (DPB) in dairy cattle using lidocaine and lidocaine plus xylazine (LX).

ANIMALS

10 healthy adult Holstein cows.

METHODS

Unilateral DPB were performed in 6 cows at L1, L2, and L4. They received 2 treatments (lidocaine and LX) in a blinded random crossover design. Due to treatment failure, 4 additional cows were enrolled. The lidocaine treatment received 1,800 mg (90 mL) of lidocaine, and treatment LX received 1,784 mg (89.2 mL) of lidocaine and 16 mg (0.8 mL) of xylazine. Anesthesia was assessed by response (rapid movements of the tail, directed movements of the feet, or turning of the head towards the site of the needle pricks) to 6 approximately 1-cm deep needle pricks to the paralumbar fossa with a 22-gauge hypodermic needle. The time of onset, duration of action, maximum sedation score, and average heart rate (HR) were compared between treatments.

RESULTS

Duration of anesthesia was significantly prolonged after DPB in cows treated with LX (251.6 ± 96.94 minutes) compared to lidocaine (105.8 ± 35.9 minutes; P = .01). Treatment with LX was associated with significantly lower average heart rate (56 ± 3 beats/min) compared to cows treated with lidocaine (59 ± 3 beats/min; P = .045). The LX treatment was associated with mild sedation but was not significant (P = .063).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The addition of xylazine to a lidocaine DPB provides a longer duration of anesthesia, is inexpensive and practical, and can be implemented with ease.
Equine poor performance: the logical, progressive, diagnostic approach to determining the role of the temporomandibular joint
Authors: Carmalt James L.
Published: November 2023

Poor performance is an ambiguous term used frequently by people in the horse industry. It means different things to different people, depending on the breed, discipline, or problem being discussed. There are myriad reasons that a horse may fail to achieve the expectations put upon it or, having achieved those goals, begin to falter. Equine temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease is beginning to be reported as 1 such cause of poor performance. Despite this, in certain disciplines, it has become the trendy diagnosis, and a logical approach to the diagnostic workup is often lacking. Many of the clinical signs attributed to TMJ abnormalities can be readily explained by other more common problems. This ambiguity is compounded by a lack of extensive scientific evidence linking TMJ-related disease to behavioral or performance changes. Despite this fact, the equine TMJ has been reported to be a cause of poor performance, and while rare, it should be included in a differential diagnosis list, albeit one of exclusion. The purpose of this article is to describe a logical, stepwise approach to excluding common causes of poor performance before investigating the potential role of the TMJ in cases of poor performance.

Published: November 2023

Flour is one of the most widely used products typically derived from wheat, corn, and rye and is classified based on its nutrition content. The present study aimed to identify and classify the different types of flour (wheat, rye, maize) commercially available in Romania. The market research covered eight types of flour available on the Romanian market: 1. Wheat Flour 000 (N-19), 2. Wheat Flour 550 (N-11), 3. Wheat Flour 650 (N-13), 4. Whole-Wheat Flour (N-15), 5. Durum Wheat Flour (N-8), 6. Spelt Wheat Flour (N-8), 7. Rye Flour (N-15), and 8. Maize Flour (N-23). The classification was carried out by analysing the most important parameters: energy, protein, fat, saturated fatty acid, carbohydrate, sugar, and dietary fibre content, using different statistical methods: descriptive statistics, box plot, hierarchical cluster, and surface radar analysis. The results revealed that white wheat flour represented more than 50% of the analysed samples, and significant differences were found between the tested types of flour. In addition, white wheat flour is characterized with lower dietary fibre, fat and protein content, but it has higher energy content and carbohydrate content. In contrast, whole meal, durum, spelt, and rye flours are characterized by lower carbohydrate and higher fibre and fat content. The hierarchical cluster analysis showed that, on the basis of nutritional similarities and differences, the flours studied in Romania can be grouped into three distinct clusters.

Published: November 2023

The shortcomings encountered from the use of conventional methods of refining draw considerable attention when it comes to the processing of edible oils. The present invention to this effect is the usage of membrane technology, which stands out as a suitable alternative, as it offers significant advantages such as minimal chemical additions, low energy consumption, and the retention of nutrients and other desired components. This paper seeks to ascertain the quality of edible oil extracted by different solvents, refined via membrane filtration. Amounts of 25 mL of crude oil sample were extracted with three different solvents (n-hexane, ethanol, and n-hexane-ethanol blend) from seeds of Hildegardia barteri (Mast.) Kosterm. and were refined using a micro-filter of pore size of 0.45 µm and an ultrafiltration membrane with 50 kDa cut off before bleaching and deodorizing to obtain table oil. Proximate composition and elemental analyses were carried out on the table oil samples produced and compared with food-grade standards. Results obtained showed 0.133–0.53% moisture content, 0.04% ash, 98.90–99.67% ether extract, 0.23% carbohydrate, and elemental compositions of 51.60–55.00% C, 6.12–6.30% H, 6.21–6.28% O, 0.01–0.02% N, and 13.0–15.0% P for edible oil samples. The findings of this study indicate that edible oil produced from the seeds of H. barteri via membrane technology yields good-quality oil for commercial production, except for the need to enhance further reduction of phosphorus content.
An Analysis of Dialogic Positioning in Online Commentaries
Authors: Nagy Tünde
Published: November 2023

The commentary as a journalistic genre that presents and comments on current events is characterized by intersubjective positioning, whereby the author constructs meaning, seeking alignment or, on the contrary, expressing disalignment with a putative audience. In line with the appraisal theory as developed by Martin and White (2005), which follows the Bakhtian dialogic perspective, according to which utterances and propositions are intersubjectively charged, the paper aims to describe the linguistic means ofengagement, one of the central elements of this theory. Engagement is concerned with how the author expresses authorial voice and how s/he negotiates meaning with the readers, opening up (dialogic expansion) or, on the contrary, closing the dialogic space (dialogic contraction). In this sense, the linguistic means of engagement, such as modality, hedging and boosting devices, evidentiality, are understood to transcend the functions attributed to them within a truth-conditional framework, namely epistemic status and reliability of knowledge, and are seen as means by which the author entertains or rejects alternative voices and opinions. Taking this into consideration, the paper intends to analyse a few selected commentaries on the war situation in Ukraine found on the online platform of The Rand Corporation, a global policy think tank that performs research and conducts evaluations of various topics. It analyses the linguistic means of dialogic positioning, focusing on how the authors negotiate the dialogic space with the audience; while presumably all forms of intersubjective positioning can be found in the texts, it is expected that certain forms of engagement will outnumber others. As all commentaries can be found on the website of the above mentioned corporation, the question also arises as to what extent commentaries show similarity with respect to engagement, thereby expressing, albeit indirectly, a certain standpoint with respect to the Ukrainian warfare.

Skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion is primarily characterized by maxillary protrusion, mandibular retrusion or a combination of both. Treatment modalities for these patients are different depending on the age and the severity of the case. In adult patients with skeletal class II division 1, where the discrepancy is very severe, orthodontic and orthognathic surgery combined are often necessary to ensure an appropriate treatment, while prosthodontic treatment may be a challenge due to the skeletal discrepancies of the maxilla and the mandible. This clinical report presents a 45-year-old patient with a diagnosis of Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion. After clinical and radiographic observation and consultation with an orthodontist and maxillofacial surgeon, a combination of surgical and orthodontic therapy was proposed. Considering that the patient refused the surgical procedure due to fear, orthodontic therapy was carried out first, which improved the aesthetic and functional characteristics, but did not give results in increasing the vertical dimension of the occlusion. Therefore, further therapy was prosthetic, and was carried out by making all-ceramic maxillary and mandibular fixed dental prostheses; the patient was successfully rehabilitated and the anteroposterior discrepancy between the dental arches was corrected. Combined orthodontic and prosthetic treatment can be a good option in the complex treatment of patients with skeletal class II division 1 malocclusion providing functional rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system and improving facial appearance and the quality of life of the patient.

In order to investigate the material properties of maraging steel laser additive manufacturing, the cladding layers with different overlap rates on the surface of 18Ni300 were prepared by laser cladding technology, and the morphology, microstructure, and hardness of the cladding layer with different overlap rates were analyzed by various means. The results show that the macroscopic morphology of the cladding layer mainly presents three states under different overlap rates, and the change of overlap rate has no effect on the microstructure in the same area of the cladding layer, but does have an effect on the size of the cladding layer. In the end, the optimum overlap rate is 50%, the surface is smooth, the inner is free from defects, the bonding effect is good, and the metallographic structure is even with high hardness. Milling experiments were carried out on the material after laser additive manufacturing, and the surface morphology was observed, confirming a smooth and well-flattened surface with a roughness of 0.342 μm had been obtained. The suitable overlap rate can make the coating surface smoother, reduce the subsequent processing loss, and improve the production efficiency and powder utilization rate while ensuring the coating quality.

O desafio ético da escrita e da pesquisa em Educação
Authors: Rodrigues dos Anjos José Humberto , De Oliveira Vieira Vânia Maria
Published: November 2023

O objetivo deste artigo foi discutir os desafios éticos da pesquisa em educação, tendo como ponto de partida a questão da escrita e da honestidade intelectual. A escrita científica deve ser criteriosamente pensada e minuciosamente articulada em relação à língua que se propõe comunicar, uma vez que, sem a organização lógica do pensamento, não há uma série de atributos para a construção da coesão e da coerência do texto. Embora seja premissa de maior importância, o rigor com o texto, seja em seus aspectos semânticos ou sintáticos, não é o único fator a ser considerado no momento da produção. Sobretudo na ciência, em que a difusão do conhecimento sempre precisa ser aliada ao componente ético, é preciso ter consciência para pensar a pesquisa como um momento de colaboração social, em que os dados devem ser tratados de forma séria e sem manipulações. Recorre-se, neste texto, aos pressupostos da pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, baseando-se nos estudos de Antunes (2010), Brasileiro (2013), Koch (2003, 2008), Koch e Traváglia (2007), Nóvoa (2015), Serrano (2011), Severino (2015), dentre outros que discutem o universo da escrita científica e da ética na pesquisa.
Nachhaltig führen

Published: November 2023

Der Beitrag gibt Einblick in einen nachhaltig konzipierten, biografieorientierten Prozess personzentrierter Supervision und personzentrierten Führungscoachings mit drei Führungskräften eines Seniorenheimes: einer heimleitenden Person und zwei Führungskräften von Pflegewohnbereichen. – Von dieser qualitativ dokumentierten, mehrjährigen Prozessarbeit wird ausschnittweise ein Workshoptag beschrieben. Einer gemeinsamen Erarbeitung von Kriterien nachhaltigen Führens folgt dabei unter anderem die Arbeitstechnik des „inneren Teams“ nach Schulz von Thun in leicht adaptierter Form. – Diese nachhaltige, gerontologische, person- und biografieorientierte Supervisions- und Coachingarbeit für Führungskräfte in Seniorenheimen wird abschließend deduktiv als wesentliche Voraussetzung postuliert, um langfristig als Führungskraft gesund und nachhaltig erfolgreich arbeiten zu können, was sich einerseits in einem wertschätzenden Umgang gegenüber den Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern, Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern sowie deren Angehörigen und andererseits in einer ausgezeichneten Dienstleistungsqualität im Seniorenheim zeigt.

In Prozessen denken
Authors: Lindenbauer Karl
Published: November 2023

Das Prozess-Modell von Eugene T. Gendlin will ein neues Wissenschaftsmodell begründen, mit dem Lebensphänomene, die ja immer in Prozessen vor sich gehen, besser beschrieben und erklärt werden können. Indem er mit dem Prozess der Körper-Umwelt-Interaktion einen neuen Ausgangspunkt für sein Modell wählt, kommt er zu einer radikal anderen Sichtweise und kann Phänomene wie das Körper-Geist-Problem oder aktuelle neurowissenschaftliche Fragen wie die nach der Erklärung für das Bewusstsein neu konzipieren. Im Prozess-Modell sind Körperprozesse, tierisches Verhalten und menschliche Symbolisierungsfähigkeit inhärent miteinander verbunden. Es gibt keine Kluft zwischen Konzepten zur körperlichen Physiologie einerseits bzw. jener mentaler Phänomene andererseits wie in den materialistischen Wissenschaftsmodellen. Gleichzeitig ist es ein Modell der Veränderung und Verbundenheit, das besonders gut geeignet ist, theoretisches Verstehen in der Psychotherapie zu ermöglichen, wo es ja primär um Veränderungsprozesse geht. Diese Einführung soll Anregung und Unterstützung für dieses „Denken in Prozessen“ bieten, das eine überraschend neue Sichtweise auf Lebensprozesse, wie wir Menschen einer sind, eröffnet.

Hairy roots produce various bioactive chemical compounds than wild-type roots which offer a promising in vitro approach for synthesizing important nutraceutical compounds. The purpose of this study is to increase the production of flavone compounds in hairy root cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis by the addition of elicitors such as cytokinins and yeast extract. Cytokinins such as kinetin (KIN), 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), and Thidiazuron (TDZ) were utilized at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L, whereas for yeast extract treatment 50, 100, and 150 mg/L concentrations were added to the ½ SH medium. Effects of elicitors were measured in terms of dry biomass and flavone contents (baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The highest dry weight was achieved in the control hairy root than that of all cytokinins-treated hairy root cultures. In all the cytokinin-treated hairy root cultures, as the concentration increased the dry weight of the hairy root decreased. In contrast, in all the yeast extract-treated hairy root cultures as the concentration increases the dry weight of the hairy root increased, whereas the highest dry weight was achieved in 150 mg/L of yeast extract. Moving to the flavone content, baicalin was detected highest content in all the hairy root cultures supplied with cytokinin and yeast extract. The highest total flavone content was achieved in the hairy root culture treated with 1.0 mg/L of TDZ and 50 mg/L of yeast extract. This result might help the commercial agronomic sector by facilitating the in vitro mass production of nutraceuticals using S. baicalensis hairy root cultures.
