O prazer sexual da mulher
Authors: Dias Carlos Alberto , Mendonça Eunice Carlos Santiago
Published: December 2020

Partindo-se de observações da realidade clínica, onde inúmeras pacientes apresentam dificuldades concernentes à prática sexual, os autores procuram analisar alguns dos vários fatores que contribuem para o “fra- casso feminino” neste campo. Uma análise dos discursos concorrentes para a formação da mulher, parece indicar a existência de estreita relação entre o que é socialmente divulgado e os sentimentos desenvolvidos na mulher em relação ao seu próprio ser. Os sentimentos de culpa e de inferioridade que a maioria das mulheres possui na relação com o ser masculino, é algo construído “a priori”, independentemente do comportamento futuro em relação à vida a dois. Esses parecem ser elementos nodais responsáveis por dificultar a conduta assertive da mulher, na busca de sua auto-realização.

Published: December 2020

São discutidos aspectos ligados não somente ao controle médico exercido em relação à mulher, através da medicalização em diversas fases de sua vida reprodutiva, mas também o controle social a que são subme- tidas, principalmente quando esta função desaparece, na menopausa. A relação entre seus papéis de reprodutora de indivíduos e de produtora de bens e de serviços é analisada em função das diversas formas de controle sobre a sexualidade feminina, concluindo os autores pela necessidade de se pensar em uma crise "produzida culturalmente", cujos estudos e pesquisas devem ser contextualizados.

O casamento como um ritual de passagem
Authors: Cavalcanti Maria do Socorro Loureiro , Albuquerque Maria Cicera dos Santos de
Published: December 2020

Neste trabalho apresentamos o casamento, enquanto um elemento cultural, que traz em sua complexidade uma riqueza de comportamentos sociais. A busca de respaldo bibliográfico, para compreender um casamen- to como um ritual de passagem, levou-nos a outras áreas de estudos, como a Sexualidade, a Sociologia, a História e a Filosofia, de forma a poder ana- lisar os aspectos dos diversos rituais, compreendendo-os enquanto inseri- dos num contexto sócio-histórico. Utilizamos a adaptação do esquema de ritual de transição, segundo VAN GENNEP (1978), para apresentar o casamento de nossa informante, como um ritual de passagem. Conhecer a respeito do casamento e seus rituais, em culturas diferentes, enquanto possuidoras de múltiplas faces de vislumbrar o mundo, ampliam a possibilidade de entendimento da sexualidade. A experiência que nos foi relatada por uma mulher da zona rural remeteu-nos à reflexão dos valores simbóli- cos impostos, reproduzidos nos projetos de vida e de uma sexualidade esbarrada em regras sociais rígidas e restritivas, garantidas por normas, valores, crenças, mitos e símbolos, de elevado valor social discriminatório e repressivo.

As autoras buscaram identificar qual o perfil e os meios utilizados pelos paulistanos quando pretendem conquistar alguém. Foram distribuí- dos e aplicados 80 questionários para pessoas de ambos os sexos na área metropolitana de São Paulo, obtendo-se os seguintes resultados: - Para 58% dos pesquisados o poder da sedução é inato; 62% acreditam que a sedução não acaba com o tempo. 68,96%, con- sideram o jogo da conquista mais prazeroso do que a própria conquista. 50% dos pesquisados gostam de ser paquerados e 51,7% acreditam que os homens são mais paqueradores. Em relação a pessoa na condição de “conquistador”, 23,5% demonstraram maior preocupação com a aparência física, porém na condição de “conquistados”, 37,2% valorizam mais as carac- terísticas de personalidade do conquistador. O meio mais uti- lizado para seduzir é a comunicação, sendo que para 36,6% dos entrevistados a comunicação não verbal é a mais importante. 64% das pessoas disseram sentirem-se seguras no relaciona- mento com um sedutor. Concluímos que o jogo da sedução é mais valorizado do que a for- mação de vínculo com o seduzido e que a comunicação não verbal é fator relevante e importante no processo de sedução.

Published: December 2020

A 59 yrs old male with severe ARDS due to COVID-19 infection was in life threatening ‘cytokine storm’. He had also co-morbids including diabetes mellitus and hypertension. He had come from Grobogan, a red area for COVID-19. Clinical finding indicted systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) with dyspnea, tachycardia, and high fever. Laboratory tests showed raised leukocyte count, CRP, SGOT/SGPT, blood sugar, PCT, low PaO2/FiO2 ratio. RT PCR showed he was infected by COVID-19. Sputum culture showed Klebsiella infection and CXR showed bilateral pneumonia.

Patient was treated with standard therapy and a combination of tocilizumab for cytokine-storm and helmet CPAP for severe ARDS.

Helmet CPAP has become the first modality for COVID-19 ARDS in some countries but not in Indonesia. We chose helmet CPAP because of the cost efficient, comfortable, and easy operation compared to other modality. We chose tocilizumab because it uses a single dose. Although it is expensive, only one dose is enough and it is effective in blocking the cytokine storm. We found that helmet CPAP and tocilizumab combination in COVID-19 lead severe ARDS could be promising to prevent intubation for patients.

Chronic gastrointestinal disorders impose a
heavy economic burden and stress on society and the health care system. Among these chronic disorders is irritable bowel syndrome. This disease can
be diagnosed by careful evaluation of clinical signs, medical records and
simple tests that only require a lot of time and high knowledge. On the other hand, data mining is one of the multidisciplinary fields
derived from scientific fields such as statistics, mathematics, computers and
artificial intelligence, whose applications are expanding in various fields
such as health and treatment.

Applying data mining on medical data brings
vital, valuable and effective achievements and can enhance the physician's
knowledge to take the necessary measures and also speed up the diagnosis
process. Therefore, in this study, the best data mining algorithm for the diagnosis
of irritable bowel syndrome was determined using WEKA software. For this
purpose, the data mining process using Decision Stump, Random Tree and j48
algorithms on 59 samples collected from the files of people referring to Erfan
Hospital in Tehran (to collect information about patients) and questionnaires
distributed among employees of a company. Software was used to collect
information from healthy individuals. Finally, the total data included 55.93%
male sample and 44.06% female sample. The results were compared in terms of
speed, accuracy and computational cost. Finally, j48 algorithm with 96.6%
accuracy was introduced as the optimal algorithm for IBS detection.

Published: December 2020

В течение последних пяти лет композитная команда Института физики твёрдого тела РАН работала и продолжает работать над новыми структурами композитов с металлической матрицей, имея в виду необходимость фундаментального задела для разработки нового класса материалов, которые неизбежно станут основой нового скачка в характеристиках многих транспортных и энергетических машин, подобно тому как примерно полвека назад армированные пластики обеспечили совершенствование многих образцов авиационной и ракетно-космической техники. В результате этих усилий были разработаны принципиально новые структуры двух семейств композитов.

Во-первых, разработана лабораторная технология получения композитов с титановой матрицей и углеволокном, вводимом в структуру композита через промежуточную матрицу с пониженной температурой плавления, что ограничивает химическое взаимодействие титана и углерода. Композиты характеризуются гибкой структурой, подстраиваемой под конкретные условия нагружения будущего элемента конструкции. Оптимизация структуры позволит получать композиты с прочностью при растяжении до 2000 МПа, модулем Юнга до 200 ГПа, с трещиностойкостью, характеризуемой критическим коэффициентом интенсивности напряжений в диапазоне 25–40 МПа·м1/2. Плотность материала при этом — от 3.5 до 4.0 г/см3.

Во-вторых, принципиально новым результатом является показанная возможность создания композитов с оксидными волокнами и матрицами активно разрабатываемых в настоящее время молибденовых сплавов, отличающихся достаточно высокой жаростойкостью, но недостаточно высокими механическими характеристиками. Армирование такого типа матриц оксидными волокнами с использованием ранее разработанного метода внутренней кристаллизации даёт композиты с достаточно высокими характеристиками прочности, трещиностойкости, сопротивления ползучести при температуре 1300°С.

Abstract: Microorganisms play a crucial role in plant growth and development. Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria (NFB), for instance, are essential to nitrogen nutrition. However, few studies have focused on this important community of coffee agrosystems. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the diversity of NFB in soil and fruits from eight coffee farms. After DNA extraction, the V4 hypervariable region of 16S rDNA was amplified and sequenced in Illumina MiSeq sequencer. The prediction of potential nitrogen-fixing bacteria was performed by PICRUSt2. One hundred and eighteen ASVs were predicted as potential nitrogen-fixing. While 115 ASVs were detected in fruits, only four were found in fruits. The most abundant phylum was Proteobacteria (71 %), followed by Firmicutes (23 %). The relative abundance of the NFB concerning the whole bacterial community ranged from three to almost six percent. Only one ASV of the Rhizobiaceae family was found, simultaneously, in fruits and soil. The Bradyrhizobium genus was found in all soil samples. We conclude that important NFB are part of the microbiota present in the soil and coffee fruit and that there is a sharing between them. There is evidences that Bradyrhizobium genus can be considered a significant component of the core microbiota in coffee soil.

Increasing in expediency of cold forging of parts made of iron powders in comparison with parts made of low-carbon steels
Authors: Dmitriev A.M. , Korobova N.V.
Published: December 2020

The quality of parts such as deep cylindrical cups made by cold forging from low-carbon steel and sintered
billets from iron powder is compared. Technological processes from production of iron-based powder parts and
press equipment used in mechanical engineering and in powder metallurgy are described. Cold forging of powder billets and billets from low-carbon steels is carried out on press specialized for extrusion with the creation of
actively directed contact friction stresses between the deformable billet and the die. It is shown that cold extrusion of cup-type parts with actively directed contact friction stresses makes it possible to manufacture parts from
iron-based powder with density equal to 98...99 % of the theoretical iron density. However parts from low-carbon
steel have strength limit greater than that of powder parts. Powder cups do not have the anisotropy of properties
typical for cups from low-carbon steels.
Identifying roadside objects in mobile laser scanning data using image-based point cloud segmentation
Authors: Uggla Gustaf , Horemuz Milan
Published: December 2020

Capturing geographic information from a mobile platform, a method known as mobile mapping, is today one of the best methods for rapid and safe data acquisition along roads and railroads. The digitalization of society and the use of information technology in the construction industry is increasing the need for structured geometric and semantic information about the built environment. This puts an emphasis on automatic object identification in data such as point clouds. Most point clouds are accompanied by RGB images, and a recent literature review showed that these are possibly underutilized for object identification. This article presents a method (image-based point cloud segmentations – IBPCS) where semantic segmentation of images is used to filter point clouds, which drastically reduces the number of points that have to be considered in object identification and allows simpler algorithms to be used. An example implementation where IBPCS is used to identify roadside game fences along a country road is provided, and the accuracy and efficiency of the method is compared to the performance of PointNet, which is a neural network designed for end-to-end point cloud classification and segmentation. The results show that our implementation of IBPCS outperforms PointNet for the given task. The strengths of IBPCS are the ability to filter point clouds based on visual appearance and that it efficiently can process large data sets. This makes the method a suitable candidate for object identification along rural roads and railroads, where the objects of interest are scattered over long distances.

Modern socio-economic transformations and the development of ideas of universalization of individual rights and needs emphasize the urgency of overcoming the new forms of inequality and finding effective mechanisms for consolidation and integration of social systems to avoid negative social phenomena that threaten national security, preventing the exclusion of certain groups from public life, forming the stable social ties and interpersonal cooperation, which is an important condition for the successful development of the state and society as a whole. The changes taking place in Ukraine today are marked by the ambivalence of their impact: on the one hand, there are positive changes towards the necessary reforms, on the other – the aggravation of social tensions due to instability, bottlenecks or imperfections of the reform process itself, increasing income gaps and limiting the access of large sections of the population to resources, including basic social services, etc. Despite the significant number of scientific papers on the phenomenon of social exclusion, the issue of substantiation of the forms and features of social exclusion, as well as the dynamics of its spread in Ukrainian society remains insufficiently elaborated. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study the phenomenon of social exclusion in Ukrainian society. In the context of the study, the reasons underlying the formation of the phenomenon of social exclusion in Ukraine in the early stages of statehood are substantiated, the problems that determine its spread in modern Ukrainian society, and the consequences of the impact on society are highlighted. A categorical analysis of the phenomenon of social exclusion is carried out, in particular by forms of manifestation, criteria and factors, scale of distribution, levels of formation, and nature of social ties. Based on the analysis, the peculiarities of the manifestation of social exclusion in Ukraine at different stages of development of Ukrainian society are revealed.

Cooperation between the territorial communities in Ukraine is nowadays one of the important directions of the local governance reform. The Constitution of Ukraine provides an opportunity to combine the municipal facilities and the funds of budgets for the implementation of joint projects or joint funding (maintenance) of municipal companies, organizations, and institutions, and create the respective managing bodies and services. The opportunity is implemented based on the adoption of the relevant legislation. In 1997, Ukraine ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Governance, which grants a right to local authorities to cooperate with other local authorities while performing its competences to accomplish the tasks that are of the common interest. The paper aims to research the efficiency of the use of the mechanisms of the territorial communities’ cooperation in conditions of the authorities’ decentralization. The paper analyzes the regulations directed at the support of cooperation between the territorial communities in conditions of the authorities’ decentralization. The features of cooperation between the territorial communities are outlined. The statistical information is monitored, and on this basis, the information on the condition of cooperation between the territorial communities in Ukraine in 2015-2019 is grouped and characterized. The conclusions on such cooperation are made. The mechanisms of cooperation between the territorial communities are examined. The advantages and positive effects that the communities can obtain in case of efficient cooperation are determined. The nature of joint projects is defined. The conceptual scheme of a territorial communities’ cooperation project is constructed. The ways to overcome the problems and measures to activate the cooperation between the territorial communities are suggested. The projects of communities’ cooperation as a tool to consolidate resources and accomplish the clearly defined objective are proven to be the ground for optimization of the administrative and territorial structure of the country, overcoming the depressive condition of certain areas, and creation of growth poles.

Published: December 2020

The level of development of the network companies functioning at national and international markets shows their capacity to create highly efficient products (services) from the viewpoint of technologies, consumer properties, and market requirements that would secure their competitive positions and financial and economic condition, and improve the innovativeness of the country. The integration with international markets and innovative development for the network structures depends on the development level of organizational, communicational, scientific-technological, and economic characteristics of the activity. Currently, Ukrainian innovative network structures do not lag behind the foreign ones by certain aspects and development directions. Therefore, finding the comparative characteristics of the development of Ukrainian and foreign innovative network companies will contribute to estimating the capacity by the nature of the strengths and weaknesses of these entities. The article systematizes the strengths and weaknesses (problems) of innovative development in the network interaction of participants of Ukrainian and Polish innovative network companies. The article proves that in comparison with the Polish ones, the Ukrainian network structures have a lower level of communication exchange of knowledge, development of interaction between the personnel of the participants, the management of the participants at all levels; less access to scientific laboratories for all network participants due to imperfect guidelines in the use of equipment; insufficient level of joint financing of costs for staffing and training of staff and coordination between members of the networks on cooperation with contractors, which affects the growth of technical and economic indicators. The article reveals that in comparison with Ukrainian innovation networks, Polish companies do not carry out projects for independent creation of intangible assets (technologies, programs), they just adapt the acquired ones. This aspect is a significant advantage of Ukrainian network structures that indicates a higher intellectualization and further prospects.

The event market has been developing in Ukraine for less than 15 years. It is a market with high competition, yet, according to experts, a low culture that requires research, study, and improvement. The article reveals the concepts: event industry, event technology, events, event management, event marketing, as well as describes the relationship between them. The event industry sector is studied based on the development of the creative economy in Ukraine. The conceptual model of event organization is built and the interrelation of its elements is investigated. The approaches to the practical application are described. The example of the State Enterprise “Arena Lviv” outlines the problems of development of the event industry in Ukraine in modern conditions, operating during the quarantine period associated with the prevention of the spread of acute respiratory disease COVID-19 in Ukraine. The article determines that in the quarantine period, the number of event measures decreased significantly, in particular, many planned activities were canceled or postponed. To hold events in compliance with all quarantine norms, the State Enterprise “Arena Lviv” proposed a new type and method of events - a project - a car cinema, where spectators stay in their cars and do not lose touch with art. Prospects and ways of further development of the event industry in Ukraine are described. The paper generalizes that for further development of the event industry in Ukraine, it is necessary to create conditions for the interpenetration of spheres that form the basis of the industry. It is determined that the government approaches to the development of the event industry should take into account the fact that the industry makes extensive use of human relations, so it is most vulnerable to emergencies and unusual social situations.

The role of cultural heritage in the socio-economic development of regions and communities is shown in the paper, namely, its importance for potential development opportunities of the tourism and recreational industry. The model of using cultural heritage at the regional and local levels with the purpose of creation of tourist and recreational cluster "Nevitsky Castle" is proposed. The methodology of attracting internal investments in the form of remittances of migrant workers, budget assignments of all levels, and small business resources for the development of the territory has been elaborated. The current state and features of the territorial organization of Zakarpatska Oblast tourist potential are analyzed. Tourism is proven to be one of the most profitable sectors of the world economy, which is developing most dynamically and is among the most important factors of socio-cultural development that contribute to improving the level and quality of life of the population. That is why attention is paid to the priority of the tourism and recreational industry in the economy of the region. Specific proposals for the implementation of public-private partnership based on the example of the tourist and recreational cluster "Nevitsky Castle" are developed in such a way that everyone gets their own benefit – an investor does not need to buy the land, the state guarantees the permitting and documentary support, creates an infrastructure component, and participates in the restoration of a cultural heritage object, while a private partner invests his own money and entrepreneurial experience, effectively manages his own project, involves modern technology, creates jobs and fills the budget. The creation of appropriate conditions in the real sector of the economy for the return of migrant workers and productive use of their savings and for the implementation of the President of Ukraine initiative "Come back and stay" and the Government Program of micro and small business lending is scientifically substantiated. The systemic use of cultural heritage as an important factor for the social, economic, and cultural development of territories of different administrative levels is recommended.

Published: December 2020

In the context of the global concept of human development, human development is one of the ultimate goals of economic growth, which is embodied in the development strategy of the regions, Chernihiv region in particular. Demographic indicators of the region have a negative trend. In 1995-2019, the population of the region decreased by 27.5%. Migration growth is also negative. As a result, the regional human development index is low (16 out of 22 positions). To radically change the situation, administrative and social measures are required above all for "comfortable life", "social environment" and "decent work" blocks. In the context of decentralization of power, these issues should be solved at the regional level. The article presents the most acute problems and priority measures that will improve the human development index. The creation of new jobs will reduce the unemployment rate, which is at the level of 11.2% of the economically active population. Besides only by increasing household incomes it will be possible to raise the share of expenditures on health care, education, and cultural development. In 2017, households in Chernihiv region in the village spend UAH 214.80 on health care per month per household, for education - UAH 9.60. per family, in the city - UAH 337.55 and UAH 103.76, respectively. Leisure expenses also differ significantly and amount to UAH 155.45 in the city and UAH 43.42 in the village per month per household. The development of competencies and skills on the basis of lifelong learning will allow equalizing the personnel imbalance in the labor market. The approximate financial plan for 2021-2023 for the implementation of the program “Human Resources Development” is UAH 2,102,801. Implementation of the main provisions of regional human development policy will ensure the optimization of the territorial organization of regional economic systems, increase the efficiency of social production, improve the quality of life of the territorial communities’ population, and accelerate region’s development.
