In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, hydroalcoholic products are widely used for hand disinfection. Côte d'Ivoire has also opted for this barrier measure. Ivorian markets and supermarkets have been filled with new hydroalcoholic products of various compositions and colors, certified or not by the Ivorian standardization agency. It was important to verify the antimicrobial efficacy of these hydroalcoholic products. To do this, we tested 16 hydroalcoholic products collected from supermarkets in Abidjan. The microbial load on the hands of 144 volunteers was determined before and after hand rubbing. These hydroalcoholic products were also tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis; and antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium chrysogenum. The results of this study showed that hydroalcoholic products tested significantly reduced the microbial load on the hands after friction. The germ inhibition rate was between 94.99 and 99.97%. Of the 16 hydroalcoholic products, only 3 showed antibacterial and antifungal activity on all indicator strains. In contrast, 4 showed no antibacterial and antifungal activity on these strains. The low efficacy of hydroalcoholic products tested in vitro is an indicator of the lack of quality control of these products. Some of them could not therefore guarantee the health security of the populations.

Published: September 2021

The use of traditional medicines has been observed to increase globally. The search for new antimicrobial agents has increased as a result of increase in microbial infections as well as antimicrobial resistance. The phytochemical and antibacterial activities of ethanolic and methanolic extract of leaves and stem of Eucalyptus torelliana was investigated to detect the presence of secondary metabolites and also evaluate their antibacterial potential. The phytochemical constituents of the powdered leaves and stem of Eucalyptus torelliana were determined using standard methods. The antibacterial susceptibility of bacteria from different sources to the leaves and stem extract was determined using agar diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations, MIC of the extracts were also determined. Phytochemical screening of Eucalyptus torelliana yielded glycosides, reducing sugars, condensed tannins and terpenoids in both leaf and stem extract while saponins were found only in the leaves extract. The ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Eucalyptus torelliana had antibacterial activities at 20mg/ml and 10mg/ml especially at 20mg/ml where it showed significant difference in their activity in relation to the negative control. The extracts from the stem were observed to have better antibacterial activity compared to the leaves. Gentamicin was used as a positive control. The ethanolic extracts had MIC range between 10mg/ml->10mg/ml while that of the methanolic extracts was >10mg/ml. The results from this study validate the possible use of Eucalyptus torelliana in the production of new antimicrobial agents.

TECNÉ: DO PROJETO PROMETEICO À MODERNIDADE FÁUSTICA
Authors: Vitkowski José Rogerio
Published: September 2021

Este texto resulta de uma pesquisa bibliográfica em perspectiva histórico-filosófica, e nele se aborda o problema da técnica e suas múltiplas interfaces. A abordagem cartográfica procura evidenciar conceitos e focar textos que permitem superar efeitos demasiado familiares, de senso comum, no tratamento das relações entre técnica, ciência e tecnologia. O percurso do trabalho tece visita às tradições clássicas de Homero e Hesíodo, seguida pela referência ao pensamento grego, que adensa uma interessante perspectiva sobre a técnica, compreendida como techné, expressão da produção poética — distinta da prática, “práxis”, e da ciência, “episteme”. Seguem registros que abrangem a conjugação entre ciência e técnica, culminando com o cenário da Modernidade Fáustica. Trata-se, portanto, de um recorte de amplo espectro que considera a técnica como forma de atividade humana, como objetos ou sistemas de objetos ou, ainda, como forma de conhecimento. Abrange, portanto, o fazer humano, homo faber; o saber, homo sapiens; o poder, homo politicus; o saber e a demência, homo sapiens-demens. Daqui resulta a compreensão de que a pesquisa do tema implica em estabelecer conexões que transversalizem múltiplos registros e discursos filosóficos, históricos, axiológicos, políticos.
DISCIPLINA É LIBERDADE? A PARADOXAL LIBERDADE DO ENSINO REMOTO MEDIADO POR TECNOLOGIAS
Authors: Amaral Marcos Henrique da Silva
Published: September 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é explicar por que, podendo gozar de liberdade e flexibilidade para organizar suas rotinas de estudo em consonância com seus próprios desejos ao longo da pandemia do novo coronavírus, que lhes colocou sob a égide do ensino remoto mediado por tecnologias, os discentes da educação básica clamam pelo retorno da tutela e da vigilância de uma instituição disciplinar como a escola. Isto em um contexto em que a demanda por mudanças que lhes concedessem precisamente a liberdade de que hoje querem abrir mão tem sido alvo de políticas públicas que redesenham toda a educação básica. Os dados são provenientes de observações sistemáticas a partir da experiência do autor como docente na educação básica em três escolas do Distrito Federal, bem como da aplicação de questionários aos discentes dessas instituições. Os resultados da análise operada a partir de tais dados indicam para a conformação, no molde remoto de ensino, de uma “liberdade paradoxal” que, segundo o filósofo sul-coreano Byung-Chul Han, caracteriza o que chama de sociedade do cansaço. Essa pretensa liberdade acirra um processo de autocobrança, potencializando sentimentos como culpa e inaptidão, e cristaliza um regime atenção caracterizado pelo excesso de estímulos e pela dispersão que, invariavelmente, leva a uma nova percepção a respeito do uso tempo e aos clamores pelo retorno do panoptismo da instituição escolar.
A EDUCAÇÃO TÉCNICA A PARTIR DO DIAGNÓSTICO CRÍTICO DA MODERNIDADE DO FILÓSOFO ALEMÃO MARTIN HEIDEGGER
Authors: Costa Poliana Emanuela da , Santiago Silvana Maria
Published: September 2021

Este artigo objetiva pensar a educação técnica a partir do diagnóstico crítico que o filósofo alemão Martin Heidegger realiza sobre a “era da técnica”. Desse modo, para aproximar o tema da educação da filosofia de Heidegger, mais precisamente no que tange à questão supracitada, utilizaremos, basicamente, os seguintes textos: educação profissional: crise e precarização (2019) e escritos fundamentais do pensador alemão que tratam a fundo da temática da técnica. São eles: A questão da técnica (2008), Que é Metafísica? (1983) e O fim da filosofia e a tarefa do pensamento (1983). Esses textos servirão de fio condutor para refletirmos sobre alguns desafios da educação tecnicista. O entrecruzamento dessas reflexões nos permitirá compreender, a partir de Heidegger, como a questão da técnica, assim como a tecnologia, vão muito além das suas configurações instrumentais, ultrapassando, em grande medida, o sentido neutro dos avanços tecnológicos, atribuindo ao conhecimento um caráter, sobretudo, pragmático. Desta feita, esse artigo procura contribuir para pensarmos a educação em sentido mais amplo, não apenas no que diz respeito às transformações técnico-científicas, mas, sobretudo, uma educação reflexiva, questionadora e transformadora efetiva da sociedade.

Adakite-like geochemical signature (high Sr/Y ratio at a low Y concentration) is recognized in andesites and dacites, associated with intraplate basalts in the Orlov volcanic field of Sakhalin Island. These rocks denote the final (Pliocene) accent of intraplate volcanism in the Lesogorsk zone, which began in the Middle Miocene in an area of its junction with the Chekhov zone of the preceded (Oligocene-Early Miocene) suprasubduction one. The adakite-like accent was related to the Sakhalin folding phase that accompanied the general structural reorganization in the back-side region in the Japan arc system. Such a geological environment differed from the one of classical adakites generation resulted from melting of a young slab in the Aleutian island arc. It is supposed, that the Sakhalin adakite-like magmas were produced in deep-seated sources of the crust-mantle transition displayed in the Sakhalin-Hokkaido-Japan Sea zone of hot transtension due to drastic change of tectonic deformations from the thin crust of the South Tatar Basin to the thicker one of its northeastern extremity.
“NO, LIVING IS GOOD AFTER ALL! ...”: HAPPINESS, LOVE AND TIME IN THE DIARY OF A SOVIET PROVINCIAL WOMAN OF THE MID-20TH CENTURY

Published: September 2021

The article, based on the example of the personal diary of a Soviet provincial woman of the mid-20th century, considers such important problems for cultural history and historical anthropology as genesis and dynamics of the ideas of contemporaries of a particular historical epoch about happiness, love and time. It is shown that in their interpretations presented in T. D. Rozhkova’s diary historically, culturally, socially and personally conditioned propositions peacefully coexisted. The ratio of the typically Soviet, typically feminine, typically intellectual and purely private is not amenable for rigorous assessment. Nevertheless, no matter how tricky the interweaving of the normative and the casual in T. D. Rozhkova’s notions of happiness, love and time was, in general, they certainly gravitated towards a universal understanding of happiness, love and time as the most important aspects of human life, firmly established in the sphere of individual and collective imagination. At the same time, despite the fact that the diarist’s main task was clearly not the task of objectively reflecting reality, her diary turned out to be filled with the zeitgeist. First of all, it is exposed by rhetorical models and narrative templates used by T. D. Rozhkova in her speculations on happiness, love and time — speculations that captured that an ordinary Soviet person lived a rich inner life, and his or her “Sovietness” was not something one-dimensional at all.

The paper is devoted to the determination of the preferred ecological niche of the Alakul population of the forest-steppe Trans-Urals and considers the problem of Andronovo colonization in the northern direction. Radiocarbon dating, paleobotanical and isotopic studies were carried out based on the Chebarkul III settlement materials. The Alakul period of the settlement dates back to the 18th–17th centuries BC. The species composition of plants from the settlement’s cultural layer is similar to the Bronze Age steppe settlements of the Southern Trans-Urals and mainly represented by plant seeds of the meadow and ruderal zones with a minimum amount of forest and the absence of domesticated plants. The δ13C, δ15N values in the livestock bones reflect the diet consisting of C3 photosynthesis type plants with a small proportion of C4 plants. The decreased values of δ13C and δ15N in comparison with the Late Bronze Age steppe sites in the Ural-Kazakhstan region may indicate a high moisture content of the settlement’s pastures. The data obtained indicate the preservation of the settled cattle-breeding model, which is typical for the steppe Alakul sites, with cattle grazing in the surrounding territories and the possible preparation of fodder for the winter. The development of northern territories by the Alakul populations took place in the landscape zones habitual for the steppe population: with the presence of open spaces, wide meadows for grazing animals, and preparing forage, as well as forests. For this reason, the so-called Chebarkul steppe corridor was also populated, capturing the shore of the lake of the same name, on which the settlement under study is located.
CLIMATIC FACTOR IN THE ORIGIN OF THE SINTASHTA CULTURE

Published: September 2021

The article deals with the problem of the appearance of the Sintashta architecture in the South Trans-Urals in the context of climatic events of the 3rd millennium BC. In terms of the main parameters: structure and layout (the presence of fences, close cluster planning), the Sintashta settlements fit into the Anatolian and Balkan-Carpathian traditions, although their specific incarnations depended on local conditions and resources. This circumstance suggests the migratory nature of the emergence of such a tradition in the Urals. This and other migrations are considered in the context of the paleoclimatic theory of Rapid Climatic Changes (RCC) identified by paleoclimatologists for the Holocene. The unfavorable climatic conditions of the 3rd millennium BC led to migrations and cultural changes. Cultural hybridization manifested in archaeological material was the one of signs of the Bronze Age in the 3rd millennium BC. It was due to a high degree of interaction between different groups of the population and the rapid spread of technological advances over wide areas. It is assumed that a new architectural principle was brought to the Southern Trans-Urals as a memory or image. Such movements could not be realized without an organizational component — the “elite”, who possessed military skills and knowledge in the field of wheeled transport. In the Southern Trans-Urals, the time represented by the Sintashta-Petrovka sites was the most favorable climatically (warm and moderately humid). Besides, that territory had rich resources. All this, not only allowed the new population to gain a foothold in the South Trans-Urals, but also spread further to the east and southeast.
SETTLEMENT STRATEGIES AT THE TURN OF THE BRONZE AND IRON AGES: NATURAL AND PALEOECONOMIC FACTORS (FOREST-STEPPE–SUBTAIGA ZONES IN THE TOBOL RIVER VALLEY)

The article describes the settlement specifics of the Itkul and Baitovo cultures population in the Tobol River region in the 8th–6th centuries BC. The settlements of the Itkul culture are confined to the areas of large drainage lakes and lake systems, they are located on sandy ridges and uplands and not obviously associated with watercourses. The majority of settlements are situated in the subtaiga zone in the interfluve of the Tura and Pyshma Rivers. There are fewer settlements in the forest-steppe area, they are located in ribbon-like forests. The Baitovo сulture sites, on the contrary, are clearly confined to the main rivers and their tributaries, they form a clearly expressed frame of settlements along the Iset and Tobol Rivers, a certain distance is maintained between many of them. These conclusions are substantiated by the vertical distribution of the sites, their confinement to water bodies, and detailed geomorphological characteristics of cultural and chronological groups of artifacts of the cultures under consideration. Summing up, main differences in the settlement systems of the Itkul and Baitovo collectives are: confinement of the Itkul culture settlements to the subtaiga zone, and the Baitovo ones — to the forest-steppe; gravitation of the Itkul settlements towards the areas of large flowing lakes and lake systems, the Baitovo settlements towards the river system; a high degree of concentration, a close interposition of weakly fortified settlements of the Itkul culture in places of their localization and the presence of a frame of equidistant and, apparently, interconnected settlements of the Baitovo culture. The settlement specifics of the Itkul and Baitovo cultures populations brought about by their origins and economic activities, as well as the natural and climatic dynamics reconstructed for the territory under consideration.
PETER AND PAVEL SHUVALOV'S AS THE LYSVENSKY MINING PLANTS OWNERS IN THE LATE 19TH — EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Institute of History of the RAS, Druzin Mikhail V.
Published: September 2021

The article explores the history of ownership of the Lysvensky mining district in the Perm province by Peter Pavlovich (1819–1900) and Pavel Petrovich (1847–1902) Shuvalov through the prism of the owner’s personal attitude to the family factories and his involvement in the management process. Despite the fact that there is a continuity of two generations in some external signs of ownership (recourse to the management of factories prior to the legal entry into ownership rights, change of local administration by a new owner, desire to transfer the mining estate to the sole full ownership), they are in many ways opposite to each other due to the subjective circumstances and personal qualities of the owners. Peter Pavlovich represents the type of an “old owner” who is only ready to receive income from his estates, without being interested in the real state of affairs and the management quality. His son, Pavel Petrovich, became the personification of a “new type” owner, who invests his personal time, effort and energy in the development of his own “business”. But, the return of the heirs after his sudden death to the former attitude to the “business” led to the fact that they failed to keep the Lysvensky district as a part of the ancestral property, allowing its corporatization with the participation of bank capital.
Análise Praxiológica do Desenvolvimento Urbano de Grandes Cidades Brasileiras
Authors: Caetano Norton , Bringhenti Idone , Miranda Edwards , Grumble Leroy , Pinto Evanice Almeida
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo analisa o desenvolvimento urbano de grandes cidades brasileiras segundo uma lógica praxiológica, onde a ação humana é tomada como o principal fator de expansão e encarada como uma reação a dinâmica de incentivos econômicos que atuam regionalmente ao longo do tempo. Fatores culturais, geográficos e a própria intervenção estatal são condicionantes na expansão urbana, cuja análise da interação entre si permite uma compreensão da dinâmica do desenvolvimento urbano. Grandes cidades brasileiras apresentam uma expansão do tipo periférica, onde os recursos auferidos pelo cidadão comum só permitem a aquisição de imóveis localizados distantes da extensa e intrincada burocracia imposta pelos Planos Diretores municipais, que escasseiam e encarecem artificialmente as áreas onde chega a fiscalização e induzem as periferias à anarquia. Burocratas e políticos não estão sujeitos a incentivos de mercado, que resulta em ausência de planejamento estratégico e má alocação de recursos humanos e financeiros.

An exploratory analysis of seasonal and intraseasonal variations of the main airborne pollen types in Sunchales city, Argentina
Authors: Pérez Claudio , Covi Mauro , Gassmann María , Ulke Ana
Published: September 2021

Background and aims: The study of the seasonal and intra-seasonal variability of the airborne pollen concentration is of paramount importance to understand the relationships with the emitting vegetation and the atmospheric parameters that modulate pollen transport. This research aims to study these variabilities in Sunchales, a city located in the center-east of Argentina.
M&M: Atmospheric monitoring was carried out with a Burkard trap during two seasons in 2012 and 2013 on the outskirts of the city.
Results & Conclusions: The pollination periods of the studied pollen types show a delay in 2013 compared to the previous year, presumably related to a greater amount of cumulative heat units in 2012. However, the integral pollen for the period 2013 was 1.4 times higher than 2012, a fact that is not explained by accumulated precipitation but by the time of day when the hydrometeors occur. Binned pollen concentrations show that the highest concentrations coincide with the urban location of the tree sources while the herbaceous ones show an association with a rural origin. Regarding the intra-seasonal variability, the highest proportion of the airborne pollen variance accumulates on the synoptic-scale (80 - 60%) with periods between 3 and 10 days. During 2012 long waves predominated (> 5.5 days) while in 2013 medium waves prevailed (3.9 - 5.5 days).

Open science policies are a much-discussed issue. This literature review
aims to examine the approach given to open science policy in these studies.

The approach given to open science in the selected
works has different aspects: policy framing and its geopolitical aspects are
described as an asymmetries replication and epistemic governance tool. The main
geopolitical aspects of open science policies described in the literature are
the relations between international, regional and national policies. There are also
different components of open science covered in the literature: open data seems
much discussed in the English speaking works while open access is the main
component discussed in the Portuguese and Spanish speaking papers. Finally, the
relation between open science policies and the general science policy is framed
by highlighting the innovation and transparency that open science can bring to
it.

BIRC8 is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published microarray data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most significant transcriptional changes associated with trastuzumab treatment. We identified the baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 8 (encoded by BIRC8) as among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab. A single dose of trastuzumab was sufficient to result in differential expression of BIRC8 in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer, suggesting that transcriptional induction of BIRC8 is a direct result of trastuzumab administration.
Reducing public transit compounds social vulnerabilities during COVID-19
Authors: Kar Armita , Carrel Andre L. , Miller Harvey J. , Le Huyen T. K.
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted public transit services through a combination of plummeting ridership during the lockdown and subsequent budget cuts. This study investigates the equity impacts of reductions in accessibility due to public transit service cuts during COVID-19 and their association with urban sprawl. We evaluated accessibility to essential services such as grocery stores and both urgent and non-urgent health care across 22 cities across the United States in three phases during 2020: pre-lockdown, lockdown, and post-lockdown. We estimated the spatio-temporal coverage of transit service during the peak and off-peak periods in each phase. We found stark disparities in food and health care access for various socio-economic groups. Economically disadvantaged and suburban neighborhoods were more likely to lose food and health care access by public transit during COVID-19. In particular, transit service cuts worsened accessibility for population groups with multiple social vulnerabilities, such as low-income workers with zero vehicle ownership, poor households living in urban neighborhoods, and non-white populations residing in suburban neighborhoods. Moreover, our study suggests that sprawled cities experienced greater losses in access to food and health care during COVID-19 than compact cities, highlighting the influence of urban form on the functionality of transit services during crises.
Peering into the Abyss with Evolutionary Telescopes: How protein structure-telescopes can look further back in time (and why sequence-telescopes cannot)
Authors: HARISH AJITH
Published: September 2021

This year marks the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Protein Data Bank (PDB), which catalogs three-dimensional (3D) shapes of organic macromolecules and showcases a structural view of biology. In celebrating this occasion, much has been written about the transformative impact of PDB on a broad range of fields of scientific inquiry and how structural biology transformed the study of the fundamental processes of life. Yet, the transforming influence of PDB on one field of inquiry of broad interest—the reconstruction of the distant evolutionary past—has gone almost unnoticed. Here, I review recent advances to highlight how insights and tools of structural biology are bearing on the data required for the empirical resolution of vigorously debated and apparently contradicting theories in evolutionary biology.

Differential expression of Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 25 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2021

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 25, ARHGEF25, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. ARHGEF25 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. ARHGEF25 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of ARHGEF25 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. ARHGEF25 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

Beliefs about Men’s Sexual Self-Control Predict Attitudes toward Women’s Immodest Clothing and Public Breastfeeding
Authors: Moon Jordan W , Wongsomboon Val , Sevi Barış
Published: September 2021

Why do some people have negative views toward mundane behaviors such as women breastfeeding in public or wearing revealing clothing? We suggest that moral opposition to these behaviors may partly stem from their perceived effects on men’s sexual responses. We hypothesized that (a) people would stereotype men as having relatively less control of their sexual urges (i.e., lower sexual self-control) compared to women and that (b) stereotypes about men’s sexual self-control would uniquely predict attitudes about women’s mundane (but potentially sexually arousing) behaviors. Five studies show that (a) people stereotyped men (vs. women) as lacking sexual self-control (Study 1) and (b) endorsement of this stereotype was associated with opposition to public breastfeeding and immodest clothing (Studies 2-5). The effects hold even after controlling for potential confounds and seem specific to relevant moral domains, although women (vs. men) tend not to view these behaviors as moral issues.
Anhedonia sub-components and reward and effort learning for primary and secondary rewards in young people with depression symptoms
Authors: Frey Anna-Lena , Kaya Siyabend , Adeniyi Irina , McCabe Ciara
Published: September 2021

Background: Anhedonia, a central depression symptom, is associated with impairments in reward processing. However how the sub-components of reward processing (anticipation, motivation, consummation and learning) are related to depression symptoms is not well understood. In particular, little is known about how effort cost and reward learning is related to anhedonia.Methods: We recruited young people with high (N=50) and low (N=88) depression symptoms and assessed their learning, consummatory, anticipatory, and motivational responses within an effort and reward learning task. To increase the reward attractiveness, especially for younger people, we included not only money (secondary reward), but also chocolate tastes and puppy images (primary rewards).Results: Across all participants, we found that self-reported willingness to exert effort positively correlated with actual effort exertion and negatively with effort completion times. We also observed higher accuracy for reward learning vs. effort learning. Additionally, effort expenditure differed between reward types, although no differences in reward liking were observed. Interestingly, we also found that higher anticipatory anhedonia was associated with lower reward learning accuracy. Limitations: The study assessed only depressive symptoms, not clinically diagnosed major depression. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine reward and effort learning simultaneously in young people with depression symptoms. Our findings suggest a differentiation between motivational and consummatory responses, as well as between reward and effort learning. Moreover, we show that anticipatory anhedonia is related to reward learning. Understanding the link between objective reward processing and anhedonia sub-types could provide new targets for treatment development.
Evaluation of ABLA-R Application Training
Authors: Comesanha Oriana , de Souza Carlos Barbosa Alves
Published: September 2021

The ABLA-R (Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities Revised) is a useful test for assessing the discriminative abilities of individuals with developmental disorders. This study evaluated, with six professionals, the effect of three training components in ABLA-R administration accuracy: ABLA-R self-instructional manual, video feedback and role-play. None of the components, used separately in training, resulted in an accurate application of ABAL-R. The combination of the self-instructional manual with video feedback resulted in performances with more than 90% accuracy. The data corroborate previous evidence on the importance of feedback in professional training and demonstrate that a combination of training components may be more effective in teaching the ABLA-R application than using only the selfinstructional manual.

Worldwide women spend 4.5 hours daily on unpaid work while men spend about half of that time. The study aimed to estimate the time spent by both men and women on the various types of unpaid care labour find the economic estimates of unpaid labour. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of 3 months in 2020 in the rural area of South India. 360 study participants of 15 -60 years were recruited using simple random sampling and enquired for the time spent on care activities using time use survey . Cumulative hours spent per year and its economic estimate was calculated using Oxfam global care calculator. Female participants did significantly higher hours of unpaid care (3596.5 hrs) as compared to male participants (2938.3 hours) (p <0.05). Economic estimates of unpaid care per year were significantly higher (INR 103641.8) for females as compared to males (INR 84610) (p< 0.005). The policy makers and administrators should develop policies which recognise, reduce, redistribute and represent unpaid labour work.
A NON-CLASSICAL CLASSIC, A LOOK AT THE ART OF S. ERZYA (1876-1959) FROM THE 21 ST CENTURY
Authors: Rozenberg Natalia
Published: September 2021

For the first time in Russian art history, the article attempts to show the integrity of the art of the Russian-Argentine sculptor S. Erzya on the basis of an art history analysis of his most famous works created in Italy, Russia and Argentina. The features of his personal and creative development are revealed in the context of socio-cultural events, which were distinguished by a stormy, sometimes catastrophic nature. The youthful ideals of Tolstoyism in the mind of a mature master acquire the features of a worldview that asserts the priority of the ideals of moral and spiritual perfection, the devotion to which was almost invariably paid with the price of life. A documentary confirmation of Erziʼs words is given in the entry of his secretary, L. Orsetti. People who knew Erza intimately in Italy, Russia, and Argentina also wrote about their commitment to these ideals. The theme of sacrifice, the suffering path unites both his biblical works and things of revolutionary themes. Their success is described in the article not only on the basis of periodicals, but also for the first time with the involvement of exhibition catalogues. In Argentina, Erzya created monumental portraits of the spiritual leaders of mankind - these portraits by the sculptor himself were collected in a special exhibition in his house: Moses, Beethoven, Tolstoy, N. Gogol. The motives of beauty and birth, the continuation of the human race are embodied by Erzya in the famous female images «Nude», «Eve», «Motherhood», «Dance». The plastic beauty and the mystery of the transformation of the female body fascinated the audience at the exhibitions of the sculptor's works and were evidence of the change in his somatic perception in Argentina. Thus, in the art of Erzi in Argentina, the intuition and emotional supernormality inherent in the cultural consciousness of Latin Americans are manifested. The sculptor's attitude to the material he chose for a particular work was dictated by the concept. His rare ability to work in any material - cement, marble, bronze, wood-makes him stand out among modern sculptors. He followed the Michelangelo tradition in the processing of the marble block and became the only master to conquer the hard species of tropical trees. Today it is obvious that the legacy of the sculptor-thinker Erzya is not fully appreciated.

BODY REPRESENTATIONS IN TRADITIONAL AND MODERN CULTURES: COMPREHENSION PROBLEMS
Authors: Pulkin Maxim
Published: September 2021

The article examines the main problems of the representation of the nude body as one of the significant components of traditional and modern culture. It was revealed that the functioning of ideas about the meaning of nudity in culture is associated with a number of binary oppositions. The first is the opposition between sexuality and asceticism. The second presupposes the opposition and unity of traditionalism and nihilism. The third is associated with humiliation or an increase in the importance of the individual. In each specific case of exposure, we are dealing with a kind of message due to the state of the culture of a particular society at a very definite stage of its development. Nudity is interpreted by the addressee based on his own ideas about acceptable behaviors.
