Enormous efforts have been made worldwide to generate therapeutic options to prevent the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 and reduce its replication in humans. Currently, the emergence of new variants of the virus is of great concern because the evolution of the viral genome and the inherent mutations introduced in the viral proteins could decrease the effectiveness of the first-line therapeutic agents used to prevent and treat COVID-19. The present study evaluated the susceptibility of two important pharmacological drug targets of SARS-CoV-2, the major protease (Mpro) and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), to suffer point mutations that could produce resistance to inhibitors of these enzymes. The results showed that the residues that contour the inhibitor binding site in RdRp are extremely conserved between the different RNA virus species. This suggests the RdRp enzyme has a low probability to suffer mutation that could confer resistance to therapeutic drugs, such as Remdesivir, an FDA approved compound to treat COVID-19. In contrast, we observed that the Mpro enzyme could undergo up to ten-point mutations in the active site, which is the binding site of several experimental drugs under development, such as Carmofur and N3. Molecular docking analysis showed that the presence of single point mutations in the Mpro active site produces an increase in the binding affinity of carmofur, probably due to the small size and high flexibility of this molecule. However, the Pro168Ser and Ala191Val mutations significantly decrease the affinity of N3 binding to Mpro, suggesting the possible emergence of resistance to this drug. These results could help to anticipate the effect of different mutations on the way Mpro inhibitors bind to the enzyme, and design new inhibitors that address the effect of resistance.
Operationalisierung Akademischer Risikobereitschaft Studierender
Authors: Hübner Vanessa , Pfost Maximilian
Published: July 2024

Akademische Risikobereitschaft (ART) ist eine Form der behavioralen Partizipation und wird durch die Unsicherheit Studierender bezüglich des Ergebnisses einer Lernsituation charakterisiert. Dies ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn Studierende während Seminaren ihre Ideen zu schwierigen Themen teilen. Gehen Studierende akademische Risiken ein, sind sie mit der Möglichkeit konfrontiert, von anderen als weniger kompetent wahrgenommen zu werden. Studierende und Dozierende schreiben ART einen lernförderlichen Effekt zu und ART kann durch die Unterstützung tiefen Lernens positiv auf akademischen Erfolg wirken. Dennoch werden akademische Risiken von Studierenden gemieden. Dieses Phänomen ist weitgehend unerklärt, es existiert nur wenig Forschung zu ART im Hochschulbereich. Dies kann auf einen Mangel an simplen Erhebungsinstrumenten zurückzuführen sein. Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit diesem Problem durch die Entwicklung eines umfassenden Selbstauskunftsinstruments, das ART sowohl in allgemeinen (G-ART) als auch in seminarspezifischen (S-ART) Kontexten erfasst. Erste Ergebnisse deuten auf die Differenzierung von zwei Dimensionen hin: Seminargruppe und Peer-Kontext. Die dritte Dimension, der Dozentenkontext, weist eine geringe Konsistenz auf und benötigt weitere Überarbeitung. Mögliche Anwendungen der Skala umfassen die nähere Untersuchung der Beschaffenheit des Konstrukts ART hinsichtlich der Stabilität über die Zeit und verschiedene Kontexte hinweg, die Analyse möglicher sozialer und geschlechtsspezifischer Disparitäten sowie die Beziehung zu Seminarcharakteristika und akademischem Erfolg.

Features of using neural network platforms for teaching foreign languages in a non-linguistic university
Authors: Liakhova Elena Georgievna
Published: July 2024

This study was conducted to find out the advantages and disadvantages of teaching a foreign language at a non-linguistic university using neural network platforms and to compare such training with traditional teaching of foreign languages. During the research, an analysis of the features of neural networks and learning platforms based on them was carried out. The author of the article conducted experimental training in order to compare the success of mastering lexical and grammatical foreign language material when learning on the Duolingo neural network platform with traditional foreign language teaching. As a result of the study, the author discovered that when learning on neural network platforms, students experience difficulties at the stages of forming and maintaining motivation, presenting new foreign language material, comprehending and rethinking. These difficulties are associated with the risk of cognitive devaluation of students’ memory, the Google effect, the inability of neural networks to structure information, clip thinking, and the lack of comparison of new foreign language phenomena with their analogues in the students’ native language and native culture. At the same time, in the process of experimental training, the author found that vocabulary acquisition occurs more effectively when learning on neural network platforms. In addition, according to the results of the survey, students like to study a foreign language on neural network platforms due to the abundance of game components of such learning. In conclusion, the article provides ways to mitigate and level out the identified shortcomings of learning on neural network platforms, the main of which is the organization of blended learning, in which the teacher forms and maintains student motivation, presents new foreign language material, activates students’ conceptual critical thinking with the help of appropriate exercises, and students perform lexical and grammatical exercises on the neural network platform.

The paradox of the basque farmhouse: The enfolding and unfolding of a cultural infrastructure
Authors: Etxebeste Onintza , Martinez de Albeniz Iñaki
Published: July 2024

This article addresses some of the interpretations that have consolidated the cultural- symbolic-cultural imaginary of the Basque farmhouse, and then broadens the form of approaching the narrative of its identity. From the notion of prototype to that of infrastructure, from anthropological object to artistic object, the Basque farmhouse is conceived as a framework, with an axis open to unfoldings that go beyond the reproduction of its essential image. Concepts related to mediations, performativity and cartography make it possible to track the operativity of this framework, in a process that interweaves different fields of research and controversies that can lead into forms of transdisciplinary, post-qualitative study and cultural innovation.

Paradigmatic dilemmas and innovation processes in the gastronomic culture of the Basque Country
Authors: Martinez de Albeniz Iñaki , Galarraga Auxkin
Published: July 2024

This article reviews the evolution of gastronomic culture in the Basque Country in the last four decades. More than a historical account, the work focuses on placing Basque cuisine, from the New Basque Cuisine to the most contemporary developments, in the debate between different gastronomic paradigms. Basque gastronomy moves not so much along a line of disruptive creativity and innovation, but rather in an incremental drift that shows great pragmatism in adapting to new circumstances, as well as an enormous institutionalizing power. The work concludes with a proposal to rethink gastronomy and introduce it within the framework of a new paradigm, gastrology, in order to face the challenges posed by the recent pandemic.

The purpose of this study was to study the possibility of producing high-strength briquettes from high-moisture iron-containing slimes by hydration with quicklime (chemical dehydration) in combination with dolomite dust from a degusting system and carbon-containing pulverized materials and developing a drainless technology for the production of complex self-healing briquettes. The physicochemical conditions of the hydration process, temperature and time parameters of the process were studied, and the choice of active dehydrating materials significantly increased the degree of hydration of the composite system and their optimal ratios, and the period of the beginning and end of self-hardening were determined. The conditions of combining the processes of dehydration, and self-hardening with the processes of melding, when applying external pressure to a hardening mixture in a meld to obtain a coated material in the form of a briquette in one technological cycle are considered, which is one of the main provisions of the scientific novelty of the proposed method. Optimal conditions for the production of high-strength briquettes suitable for metallurgical production technologies, excluding the stages of thermal drying and firing, have been established, and a set of strength properties occurs in the air. The method allows obtaining a self-healing dipped material by introducing a carbon-containing reducing agent into a slurry-lime self-hardening mixture. Cheap waste pulverized limestone and dolomite roasting wastes are used as a dehydrating material, and pulverized carbonaceous materials (coke and coal screenings) are used as a reducing agent. Unlike well-known technical solutions, the proposed technology and the method incorporated in it eliminates the storage of iron-containing sludge in a sludge storage facility and allows you to organize a drainless scheme of non-annealing and the production of complex self-healing iron-containing material for the production of steel and rolled products. The technology will make it possible to organize production for the processing of high-moisture iron-containing sludge, pulverized calcium- and magnesium-containing and carbon-containing pulverized waste and also solves the problems of environmental pollution and land allocation for the storage of industrial waste.
