Authors: Kaur Manjinder , Singh Harpreet , Kalavatia Ishaan
Published: September 2021

Background: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is dened as the narrowing of the lumbar spinal
canal due to bulging intervertebral discs and/or hypertrophy of the ligamentum avum and facet joints
that results in the compression of nerve root that might affect the nerve conduction studies. Objective: To determine the
electrodiagnostic parameters of tibial and sural nerve with and severity of lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Methods: A
comparative study was conducted on 51 patients of LSCS diagnosed clinically and canal diameter measured on MRI. All
patients were subjected to nerve conduction study by EMG Octopus manufactured by Clarity Medical Pvt. Ltd. Results: The
mean age of participants was 49.0±16.77 years ( 22-85 years), out of which 26 (50.98%) were males and 25 (49.02%) were
females. They were divided into 3 groups based on antero-posterior lumbar canal diameter for severity of stenosis. LSCS was
found at multiple levels in spinal cord with most common site is LSCS in L4-L5. There was a signicant decrease in motor nerve
conduction (p=0.01(Rt. & Lt. tibial)) and sensory nerve conduction (p= 0.007(Rt. sural), 0.008 (Lt. sural)) velocities. However,
signicant differences in motor and sensory latencies and amplitude were not observed. Conclusion: The signicantly
reduced motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities are suggestive of functional impairement of the tibial and sural nerve
with the severity of LSC; however, the non signicant changes in latencies and amplitude suggests no evidence of peripheral
demyelination or axonal loss.

The present work focuses on examining the strategy of cognitive trips and the Arabic language teachers’ training needs of such a strategy when teaching Arabic language courses in the Saudi Arabia Kingdom. To achieve the objective of the study, and check whether this strategy is used in lesson planning, lesson teaching, or lesson assessment, a descriptive approach and a questionnaire have been adopted. The researchers used a number of statistical tools, and chose a purposive sample, which consists of (58) Arabic language teachers from Saudi Arabia Kingdom. Results have shown that the training needs of Arabic language teachers for implemining the strategy of cognitive journeys while teaching Arabic language courses came in the following order: the area of lesson planning with 63.8%, lesson implementation with 60.3%, and then evaluating the lesson with 56.9%.  Besides, the strategy of cognitive trips that has been applied on learners needs to be used virtually, and to maintain its origins. Finally, the researchers have recommended identifying the strategy of knowledge trips and employing it in the educational process. The researchers have further suggested to provide laboratories equipped with smart devices and the Internet, and to encourage teachers to have intensive training to master the strategy of knowledge trips, and adopt it as an effective method of teaching. They have further suggested to arrange training courses all over the kingdom to improve teacher’ educational results.

Authors: De Magalhães Cunha Rodrigo , Ribeiro Pinto Izabella , Santana Saab Bárbara
Published: September 2021

O desenvolvimento da visão sistêmica é importante no ensino de Administração nos vários níveis educacionais. Entretanto, a literatura carece de estudos que a explorem no nível técnico. Este trabalho contribui nessa linha de pesquisa. Em suma, após a construção da base teórica, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental em projetos pedagógicos de cursos técnicos do eixo Gestão e Negócios de instituições da Rede Federal brasileira, explorou-se esses documentos por meio de análise de conteúdo e reportou-se os resultados com análise de frequências. O estudo revela que, apesar da visão sistêmica estar sendo considerada, iniciativas que estimulam a interdisciplinaridade, que poderiam maximizar o desenvolvimento dessa visão, ainda são modestas.

Este artigo visa contribuir para o debate público acerca do racismo estrutural no Brasil e os desafios que ele representa para a Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica. O estudo foi conduzido em abordagem qualitativa com base no método da pesquisa bibliográfico-documental. O corpus documental do estudo foi constituído pela Lei 10.639, de 9 de janeiro de 2003, pela Resolução n. 1, de 17 de junho de 2004, que instituiu as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana, pela Lei 11.645/08, de 10 de março de 2008 e dissertações e teses que tangenciam o assunto. A coleta de dados foi realizada na internet, tanto no buscador Google quanto no Catálogo de Dissertações e Teses da CAPES, a partir do descritor “relações étnico-raciais”, filtro temático “área de Educação” e filtro temporal “anos de 2017, 2018 e 2019”. Os resultados indicam que o racismo é estrutural à sociedade brasileira e constitui um de seus principais desafios. Provêm de nossa experiência colonial, que articulou colonialismo e colonialidade, autoritarismo e violência, mas é também produzido e reproduzido no presente. Por se tratar de um problema multidimensional o combate ao racismo requer profundas transformações econômicas, sociais, políticas e culturais.

DU FU POETRY AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN THE GENRE DIVERSITY OF THE FIRST NOTEBOOK OF "SICHUAN ELEGIES" BY N. SIDELNIKOV
Authors:   Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Huaichao Zhao
Published: September 2021

The article briefly describes the work of Du Fu, one of the classics of Tang Chinese poetry. The poet chronicled the history of the Tang state from its heyday to its decline, allowing his compatriots to call him "shi sheng", which means "holy piit". Social issues were among Du Fu's central themes, but in his later years his poetry was characterized by a more attentive attitude to the human being and an awareness of the greatness of the human spirit. The composer N. Sidelnikov, who showed a special interest in the culture of different peoples, put Du Fu's poetry on a par with the works of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. The composer took his poems as the basis for the diptych "Sichuan Elegies". The genre of elegy indicated in the title of the work, exactly corresponds to the mood of Du Fu's poems, composed in the late period of the poet's work. However, the content of the poems includes the prerequisites for the genre diversity of the cycle. In this paper, the first of the two notebooks of "Sichuan Elegies" is analyzed in terms of genre solution.
MARGARITA ZELENAIA: "THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN" BASED ON EL GRECO Musical interpretation of the Gospel story
Authors:   Ufa State Institute of Arts named after Zagir Ismagilov, Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation, Alekseeva I. V.
Published: September 2021

Individualization in music art at the turn of the XXth – XXIst centuries affected not only the concept of the composer's opus, but also the style, manner of writing, and composition of performers. At the same time, the focus on novelty coexists with the actualization of artistic experience of the near and distant past. In addition, the junction of these trends includes "excursions" to other art forms. In this sense, particularly interesting are the works by the composers at the intersection of cultures, epochs and languages. Such examples include the poem for viola and piano "The Agony in the Garden" (based on El Greco's painting) by Margarita Zelenaia (born 1954) — composer, pianist, teacher, organizer, uniting the traditions of Russian and Western schools. The article deals with the specifics of the musical implementation of the eternal Gospel story depicted in the painting "The Agony in the Garden" by the Renaissance artist El Greco. The concept of Margarita Zelenaia's unique programme work is born at the "crossroads" of various types of art and the Gospel word, modernity and Baroque. Her dramaturgy is based on a system of symbolically loaded leitentonations — the author's reinterpretation of the rhetorical figures of the Baroque.
Tradição em disputa: a cachaça artesanal no cenário mineiro
Authors: Calbino Daniel , José de Brito Mozar , Da Glória Brito Valéria
Published: September 2021

Invented traditions are practices that assign values ​​through repetition, in order to establish meanings that connect to a history. At the same time that they represent the beginning of a period, these traditions are detached from the process from which they emerged, establishing continuity with a past, whose meanings are changeable. In this sense, the article analyzes conflicts and exclusions in the reinvention of the so-called traditional still-made, (alambique), cachaça. Through qualitative research, the practices and narratives used over four decades (1982-2020) in Minas Gerais were examined. The findings showed a network of actors who established themselves as the guardians of tradition, based on technical and scientific knowledge. The mixture of old and new elements played the role of situating cachaça as a new drink (as distinct from the old cachaça known as “pinga”), but also as “traditional”. Although this discourse has effectively covered over a number of historical incongruities, the narrative works on the basis of dualisms that maintain the identity of a specific group (entrepreneurs), while at the same conferring on them a status and an authority to decide who (the majority of small rural producers) should be excluded from this process of innovation.
O agronegócio e agricultura familiar no planejamento setorial nos governos FHC, Lula e Dilma: continuidades e descontinuidades
Authors: Grisa Catia
Published: September 2021

Planning consists of moments when governments and societies think about their contexts, conduct analyses, design actions and act based on representations and expectations. In particular, the Agriculture and Livestock Plans (PAP) and the Family Farming Crop Year Plans (PSAF) express interpretations of rural development and major issues in the policy agenda, indicate to farmers and markets expectations about agricultural and livestock production, and define the legal and financial provisions of agricultural policies. Analyzed from a long-term perspective, these documents are important for understanding the way in which agriculture, rural areas, and actors have been interpreted by governments. This article analyzes these documents over three specific periods - Fernando Henrique Cardoso’s terms (1995-1998/1999-2002), Lula da Silva’s terms (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff’s first term (2011-2014) – seeking understand how the agribusiness sector and family farming were understood, which instruments and actions were aimed at these groups, and what were the continuities and changes between different governments. The results emphasize important continuities in terms of policies for agribusiness among governments, with the most significant discontinuities in the treatment of family farming, which gained in prominence after the first Lula government. The final considerations highlight the inequality in the State's treatment of agribusiness and family farming and the lack of coherence between sector planning instruments.

Published: September 2021

In the context of the dismantling of rural development public policies in Brazil, the article analyses the recent trajectory of the National Policy for Technical Assistance and Rural Extension (PNATER) to consider if the theorical notion of dismantling is adequate in this case. This study used a methodology based on the systematic analysis of news, official documents, and legal texts to characterize the proposal of the Ministry of Agriculture for rural extension policy post-2018. This allowed us to conclude that the case under study involves a political reform informed by conservative reframing. The analysis highlights the complexity, contradictions, and conservative nature of the changes underway, indicating future concerns about equity and sustainability agendas.
Os efeitos dos movimentos rurais e das oportunidades políticas na construção do programa de compras governamentais do Rio Grande do Norte

Published: September 2021

The article examines the role of the political influence of social movements in the elaboration and approval of the State Program for Government Procurement of Family Farming and Solidarity Economy (PECAFES) in Rio Grande do Norte. For this purpose, a dialogue is established with the literature on the impact of the actions of social movements on public policies. The initial hypothesis was that social movements took advantage of the political opportunity of the 2018 elections in RN to propose a policy of access to institutional markets. The question, therefore, became, how was it possible for this policy to enter the government agenda and have unanimous approval in the legislative assembly? The methodology adopted is essentially qualitative. Interviews were carried out with the main leaders of the rural movements and with government representatives, in addition to analysing the speeches and narratives of the actors in public hearings and in newspapers and magazines, together with other relevant documents. The results show that three factors were essential for the social movements to be able to promote this policy: these movements’ history of organization in the state, guaranteeing a well-defined proactive agenda; the window of political opportunity created by a government open to social movements; and, finally, the non-identification of veto points to the program in the Legislative Assembly.

IDENTITY OF THE POPULATION OF THE MULTIETHNIC SOUTH OF RUSSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIETAL INTEGRATION OF THE MACROREGION
Authors: Klimenko Liudmila , Zhade Zuriet , Petrulevich Irina
Published: September 2021

The South of Russia is characterized by a complex structure, a contradictory history of interethnic relations and active migration processes. All of the above creates difficulties for the region’s societal integration and strengthening of macroregional ties. The state’s national strategy presupposes the formation of a positive civic identity of Russia’s population while preserving its ethnocultural diversity. The self-determination processes of ethnosocial groups in the post-Soviet space have revealed a competition between the civic and ethnic components in the identity of the national republics’ population. Therefore, the structural and dynamic dimension of the identity of the multiethnic population in the South of Russia is being actualized. The article empirically characterizes the complex identity of the population in the multiethnic subregions of the Russian South in terms of the region’s societal (macrolevel) integration. Based on the sociological research conducted in early 2021 in the Rostov region, the Republic of Adygea and the Republic of Daghestan, the nature of the local residents’ identity along the following axes is analyzed: (1) civic, regional and ethnic identifications; (2) I- and we-identifications; (3) primordial and constructed forms of identity. Modern sociological measurements demonstrate that in the structure of cognitive I-identifications of the population of the Russian South, primordial (gender, marital status) and constructed civic (Russian citizen) identity components prevail. In the Rostov region, the core of the respondents’ identity comprises a macroregional component (resident of the South of Russia). Whereas in the North Caucasian republics in question, ethnic (in Adygea and Daghestan), confessional and republican (in Daghestan) identifications compete with the all-Russian identity. At the emotional we-identity level, residents of the Russian South most often indicate affinity with groups of everyday communication (people of the same generation and occupation) and supra-ethnic constructed communities (citizens of Russia). A strong orientation towards the South Russian identity is also manifested among the Rostov residents, while ethnic, religious and republican identification complexes have greater significance in the national republics of the Northern Caucasus. Comparative analysis with the results of 2010-2011 studies (conducted using identical instruments in the Rostov region and Adygea) shows a stable predominance of constructed civic and macroregional identities in the subregions dominated by the Russian population, and ethnic and North Caucasian identities—in the republican segment. The continuing discrepancy in the identity content structure in the ethnoterritorial segments of the Russian South may have disintegration potential and slow down the formation of a supra-ethnic societal integrity of a multi-component macroregion.
EXPECTATIONS AND PREDICTABILITY OF THE ACCUMULATED COOPERATION EXPERIENCE: KAZAKHSTAN AND UZBEKISTAN
Authors: Sembayeva Zhansaya , Shaymordanova Zarema
Published: September 2021

The authors present their attempt at rethinking the development of interaction between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan against the background of a change in political elites in both countries. The interaction of the two countries, which received a new impetus after several years of stagnation, is viewed as a factor of partnership, which, in turn, can be considered the first step towards full-fledged integration. The accumulated experience demonstrates that the intensification of international cooperation between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is an objective process with its own logic. This process, analyzed on the basis of empirical, general scientific and general logical research methods, has both positive and negative aspects. The data obtained in the course of in-person and correspondence questionnaires (100 respondents from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan each) allowed to formulate ​​the expectations of both the expert community and the wider circles for subsequent manifestations of the accumulated cooperation experience in the process of changing political elites and generations, and the subsequent transformation of public consciousness. The authors believe that the historical moment will come in the course of the generational change when the process of consolidation of the Central Asian countries will become natural, practically spontaneous and recognized.
PROSPECTS FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN CENTRAL ASIA

Published: September 2021

This research article examines the state and prospects of economic cooperation among the countries of Central Asia (CA). As history would have it, economic cooperation within the CA region was previously limited, and investments in Central Asia were mainly concentrated in the mining sector of the economy. Demographic and economic trends in the region have led to an expansion of the internal market; most Central Asian states have implemented wide-ranging reforms, which have improved the overall investment climate; and the CA states have stepped up the development of multilateral trade and economic relations, laying the groundwork for broader cooperation. The article also covers recent problems related to the economic situation in the region. For example, the current situation associated with COVID-19 has had an impact on economic relations between the CA countries. In the view of international experts, this crisis has not provided any new reasons for integration in the region. The quarantine measures taken in various Central Asian countries have had a negative effect on their foreign trade and thus on intra-regional trade and economic cooperation in general. The authors also examine other problems, such as those caused by the CA countries’ economic dependence on other countries, namely their dependence on imports from outside the region. These problems also affect the prospects of economic cooperation in Central Asia. All countries, including those rich in natural resources, want to produce and export finished goods with high value added. The production of high value added products and services enables a country to earn more revenue and reduce its dependence on primary commodity exports. The Central Asian countries are no exception. But for many reasons their finished products are often insufficiently competitive in countries outside the region. Despite the existence of economic problems connected with the need to improve the economic aspects of cooperation, there is a clear trend towards diversification of the economy of the CA countries caused by a desire to develop various specializations. These include agricultural processing, production of consumer goods for the population, development of the service sector, and other areas. Thus, the choice of a new model for the development of multilateral relations and the emerging trend towards economic growth in the region have made it possible to lay the foundation for long-term cooperation among the Central Asian states.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: As the factors affecting the efficacy of the bare-metal stent in the treatment of aneurysm with a visceral vessel attached were not fully understood, we aimed to discuss the effects of different characteristics of the stent on the hemodynamics and flexibility in the treatment of the aneurysm. Methods: Single-layer (with different strut widths) and multi-layer (with a different number of struts) stent models divided into three porosity groups, with porosities of 72.3, 60.5, and 52.4%, were modeled for a comparison of their hemodynamic isolation and flexibility performance via computational fluid dynamics and finite element methods. Results: The velocity and timeaveraged wall shear stress decreased more noticeably with multi-layer stent interventions. A higher oscillatory shear index and relative residence time occurred at the aneurysmal sac wall after multi-layer stents were employed. Time-averaged wall shear stress on the aneurysmal wall decreased with an increase in the number of struts or a decrease in pore size, but oscillatory shear index and relative residence time increased as the number of struts increased or the pore size decreased. Besides, all stents affect the branch patency slightly. In the bending test, when the porosity exceeded 60.5%, multi-layer stents were more flexible. Conclusion: The number of struts or pore size of stent dominated the isolation in the management of the aneurysm and affected the flexibility significantly when the porosity was below 60.5%. These findings may contribute to the special design of the stent in the treatment of such types of aneurysms.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB) is a biopolymer, but storing products from P3HB causes the deterioration of their properties leading to their brittleness. P3HB has also low thermal stability. Its melting point almost equals its degradation temperature. To obtain biodegradable and biocompatible materials characterized by higher thermal stability and better strength parameters than the unfilled P3HB, composites with the addition of polyurethanes were produced. Methods: The morphology, thermal, and mechanical property parameters of the biocomposites were examined using scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, standard differential scanning calorimetry, and typical strength machines. Results: Aliphatic polyurethanes, obtained by the reaction of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and polyethylene glycols, were used as modifiers. To check the influence of the glycol molar mass on the properties of the biocomposites, glycols with a molecular weight of 400 and 1000 g/mol were used. New biocomposites based on P3HB were produced with 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt. % content of polyurethane by direct mixing using a twin-screw extruder. The following property parameters of the prepared biocomposites were tested: degradation temperature, glass transition temperature, tensile strength, impact strength, and Brinell hardness. Conclusions: Improvement of the processing property parameters of P3HB-biocomposites with the addition of aliphatic polyurethanes was achieved by increasing the degradation temperature in relation to the degradation temperature of the unfilled P3HB by over 30 °C. The performance property parameters have also been improved by reducing the brittleness compared to the P3HB, as evidenced by the increase in impact strength and the decrease in hardness with an increase in the amount of polyurethane obtained by the reaction of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 400 g/mol (PU400) as modifier.

Published: September 2021

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate a finite element (FE) pedestrian model with high computational efficiency and stability using a novel modeling approach. Methods: Firstly, a novel modeling approach of using hollow structures (HS) to simulate the mechanical properties of soft tissues under impact loading was proposed and evaluated. Then, an FE pedestrian model was developed, employing this modeling approach based on the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS) pedestrian model, named as THUMS-HS model. Finally, the biofidelity of the THUMS-HS model was validated against cadaver test data at both segment and full-body level. Results: The results show that the proposed hollow structures can simulate the mechanical properties of soft tissues and the predictions of the THUMS-HS model show good agreement with the cadaver test data under impact loading. Simulations also prove that the THUMS-HS model has high computational efficiency and stability. Conclusions: The proposed modeling approach of using hollow structures to simulate the mechanical properties of soft tissues is plausible and the THUMS-HS model could be used as a valid, efficient and robust numerical tool for analysis of pedestrian safety in vehicle collisions.

Authors: Chai Liu Teh
Published: September 2021

Aim: The present study was carried out to compare clinically and radiographically the efficacy of regenerative potential of Demineralizedfreeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) and Bioactive glass putty (Novabone© dental putty) in mandibular grade II furcation defects.

Methods: In 34 Patients, 60 mandibular grade II furcation defects were treated using DFDBA and Bioactive glass putty. 30 furcations were treated using DFDBA, while bioactive glass putty was used to treat remaining 30 furcation defect. Clinical parameters evaluated were Plaque index (PI), Gingival index (GI), Probing pocket depth (PPD), Relative vertical attachment level (RVAL), Relative horizontal attachment level (RHAL) at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Radiographic parameters recorded were linear measurement of defect depth and bone density in gray scale at baseline and 6 months.

Results: Both the group showed significant reduction in mean (P≤0.05) GI, PI, PPD, RVAL and RHAL at 6 months. Group I showed greater reduction in PPD. Radiographic evaluation showed significant (P≤0.05) reduction in defect depth and increase in bone density in both groups.

Conclusions: Bioactive glass putty showed comparable regeneration to that of DFDBA in the treatment of mandibular grade II furcation defect. Additional putty consistency of bioactive glass makes it easier and more convenient to use.

As countries interact more and more, technology gains a decisive role in facilitating today’s increased need for interconnection. At the same time, systems, becoming more advanced as technology progresses, feed each other and can produce highly complex and unpredictable results. However, with this ever-increasing need for interconnected operations, complex problems arise that need to be effectively tackled. This need extends far beyond the scientific and mechanical fields, covering every aspect of life. Systemic Thinking Philosophy and the System Dynamics methodology now seem to be more relevant than ever and their practical implementation in real-life industrial cases has started to become a trend. Companies that decide to implement such approaches can achieve significant improvements to the effectiveness of their operations and gain a competitive advantage. This research, influenced by the Systemic Thinking Philosophy, applies a System Dynamics approach in practice by improving the quality control process of a pharmaceutical company. The process is modeled, simulated, analyzed, and improvements are performed to achieve more effective and efficient operations. The results show that all these steps led to a successful identification and optimization of the critical factors, and a significant process improvement was achieved.

Geometric Quantum Mechanics is a version of quantum theory that has been formulated in terms of Hamiltonian phase-space dynamics. The states in this framework belong to points in complex projective Hilbert space, the observables are real valued functions on the space, and the Hamiltonian flow is described by the Schr{\"o}dinger equation. Besides, one has demonstrated that the stronger version of the uncertainty relation, namely the Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty relation, may be stated using symplectic form and Riemannian metric. In this research, the generalized Robertson-Schr{\"o}dinger uncertainty principle for spin $\frac{1}{2}$ system has been constructed by considering the operators corresponding to arbitrary direction.
