In dry-lubricated tribological systems, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyamide (PA) are often used as dry lubricants. PTFE is characterized by a low coefficient of friction and a high wear rate when sliding against steel and a high temperature resistance. In contrast to PTFE, PA has a higher coefficient of friction when sliding against steel. The radiation modification of PTFE in air generates functional groups (-COF and -COOH) and persistent perfluoroalkyl (peroxy) radicals, which, when chemically coupled with suitable polymers, lead to compounds with improved tribological properties. In this paper, the mechanical and tribological properties of PA46-PTFE-cb (chemical bonded) that were kept by reactive extrusion were characterized. For this purpose, Block-on-ring tests were performed using hardened steel discs made of 16MnCr5 as counterparts.

Authors: Schreiber Birgit , Luescher Thierry M. , Perozzi Brett , Moscaritolo Lisa Bardill
Published: June 2021

The Covid‑19 pandemic has highlighted the challenges that present obstacles to equitable learning and development in higher education in various parts of the world. African higher education and Student Affairs and Services (SAS) are faced with a set of challenges that are in part related to the resources within the institutions and in part due the sociocultural context into which the institutions are embedded. It is with this background that this study explores the impact of Covid‑19 on SAS in Africa, as part of a wider lens on SAS across the globe. The study was conducted with an online survey which generated 781 responses of Student Affairs practitioners from across the globe, of which 118 were from the African continent. The data show SAS’s critical role in mediating the various domains within and beyond the higher education institution that impact on student success. The domains that impact on student success include the students’ personal experiences, the public domain, the sociocultural community and familial milieu, and the institutional/ SAS domain. Thus, this article discusses SAS’s critical role in mediating the impact of these four domains on the student living and learning experience. The purpose of this article is to discuss the data and to use the data to gain insights into the way SAS has played a role in mitigating the impacts of Covid‑19 in four domains relevant for student success. Based on our findings, a systemic-contextual model is proposed that illustrates the relevance of four domains that need to synergise for students to be successful. Our data suggests that while SAS and universities do a great deal to support students in their learning, factors in the public domain, factors in the sociocultural community and familial milieu need to be conducive to learning to enable more student success in Africa.
Challenges and Interventions of E‑learning for Underresourced Students amid Covid‑19 Lockdown: A Case of a Zambian Public University
Authors: Kombe Charity L.M. , Mtonga Dingase E.
Published: June 2021

This article reports the challenges of e‑learning faced by under-resourced students in a Zambian public university during the 2020 Covid‑19 lockdown. The article further examines the interventions made by the university to mitigate the challenges of e‑learning faced by under-resourced students. The article is based on empirical data derived from an online closed- and open-ended questionnaire completed by 73 under-resourced students, and an interview with two university staff. The quantitative and qualitative data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis respectively. The article provides evidence that under-resourced students encountered various challenges related to e‑learning categorised under the following interlinked themes: technical, environmental, psychological, sociocultural, financial, and material. Lack of ICT facilities/devices (laptops, smartphones, tablets and desktops), internet, electricity, and support systems were the most critical barriers to e‑learning. Findings further showed that the sampled university made efforts to mitigate the challenges faced by students during e‑learning amid the 2020 Covid‑19 lockdown. However, there were no focused interventions to specifically address the actual challenges under-resourced students encountered. Regrettably, this suggests that the needs of under-resourced students were overlooked. Thus, the authors suggest strategies universities should put in place to uphold the participation of all students during e‑learning regardless of the circumstances.
Mitigating the Implications of Covid‐19 on the Academic Project at Walter Sisulu University in South Africa: A Proposed Framework for Emergency Remote Teaching and Learning
Authors: Songca Rushiella N. , Ndebele Clever , Mbodila Munienge
Published: June 2021

Walter Sisulu University (WSU) in South Africa, like other universities worldwide, is faced with the challenges associated with the outbreak of the Covid‑19 pandemic. The challenge has changed our day-to-day lives, including the way we interact and conduct business. In the midst of this, WSU has had to change the way learning and teaching occurs. Traditional face-to-face tuition had to be adapted by moving to the online mode of teaching and learning to both minimise the time lost in the academic project and protect staff and students from the devastating effects of the virus. This article reflects the actions taken by the University and describes its pilot-project approach to online learning and those processes it has put in place to ensure its effective implementation. While it is accepted that switching to an online mode of teaching and learning can facilitate flexibility in space and time, the reality is that the majority of students at WSU – mainly due to their geographical and socio-economic environments – experience daily challenges ranging from poor network coverage, lack of internet connectivity, lack of electricity and other socio-economic impediments that make online learning stressful or beyond their reach. In this article, we present a model that could be used by higher education institutions (HEIs) to respond to Covid‑19 in the short term. The proposed model is underpinned by a framework that caters for students who are readily able to access online learning, students with intermittent access to online facilities and finally, students who cannot access online education. First, we provide a brief description of online learning, highlighting the challenges presented to teaching and learning by this approach. We argue that our context and education policies present additional problems that militate against the adoption of online strategies by most HEIs. In the final instance, we present a framework that is better suited to our context and can be used during and after the lockdown. Data were collected using online questionnaires with both structured and openended questions from both lecturers and students to determine their experiences with the testing project. Lastly, we draw conclusions based on the findings of the study.
The ‘Double Transition’ for First-Year Students: Understanding the Impact of Covid-19 on South Africa’s First-Year University Students
Authors: Nyar Annsilla
Published: June 2021

While all students are affected by the advent of the Covid‑19 pandemic, the first‑year student population remains a special category of vulnerability for higher education. This is on account of the way the Covid‑19 pandemic has disrupted their transition into university and complicated the nature of their entry into and through the formal academic cycle. This article uses the notion of a ‘double transition’ as a framework for positioning and locating the first‑year student transition within the context of the prevailing Covid‑19 pandemic. ‘Double transition’ refers to an additional transition coupled with that of the first‑year transition, with regard to the extraordinary situation of students navigating their entry into the unfamiliar terrain of academia while simultaneously navigating the Covid‑19 pandemic. The article provides a circumscribed summary of the effects of Covid‑19 on university students and looks to describe and explain the nature and shape of first‑year transitions in relation to the transition necessitated by the Covid‑19 pandemic. It concludes with four key strategies for supporting first‑year students as the pandemic continues.

Authors: Adjei Millicent , Aba Pels Nina Nana , Darkoa Amoako Vanessa Nana
Published: June 2021

The Covid‑19 pandemic has revealed the abilities or lack thereof of many higher education institutions to adequately support the academic and co‑curricular needs of students in times of crisis. In this reflective practitioner account, Schlossberg’s Transition Theory is used to analyse the transitional experiences of students amid the Covid‑19 pandemic and how the Office of Student and Community Affairs (OSCA) team at Ashesi University successfully supported students as they navigated the academic semester. One-to-one interviews with department heads of the five OSCA units were conducted alongside focus group discussions with a cross-section of 17 students. The findings suggest that (i) advising, (ii) engagement, and (iii) timely online support interventions contributed immensely to students’ success in transitioning from in‑person to remote learning.

Published: June 2021

As reflective practitioners working in disability inclusion, we constantly work with shifting realities concerning our students, who are not a homogenous group. The coronavirus pandemic (Covid‑19) was a reality least expected in 2020, yet we used our flexible approach to make the transition as smooth as we possibly could. The Disability Unit (DU) is one of five units located within the Centre for Student Counselling and Development at Stellenbosch University (SU) and falls within the responsibility centre of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Teaching and Learning. The DU was founded in 2007 and is 15 years old in 2021. We aim to foster disability inclusion within a transformative framework at SU, with our main focus on students with disabilities. Our wider aim is universal access, which includes working towards the removal of cultural, social, language and disability barriers in the higher education context. We are guided by the Disability Access Policy (2018) of SU. Since the latter part of March 2020, we had to shift to online teaching and learning. This came at a time when we were preparing for the end of the term and student support was being put in place. The onset of Covid‑19 occasioned unanticipated reflections and challenges, which we share in this article. We also reflect on what we have learnt and how we can move forward in a changed academic environment catapulted into a digital world. We do this reflection by following the Gibbs’ reflective cycle (Gibbs, 1988) which offers a way to reflect and learn from experience. The cycle is weaved into the reflections as it follows a process of describing the context of the DU, expressing how the Covid‑19 pandemic was felt by staff and students, evaluating and learning from what was experienced. According to Lyner-Cleophas (2020), online learning has benefits and challenges, especially considering students with disabilities.

This paper analyzes the history of social conflicts that occurred in Poso district that began in 1992 and their efforts to resolve them. In general, this conflict is seen as a conflict in the name of the dominant religion, namely Islam and Christianity. This conflict is motivated by the displacement of social order in which the indigenous Poso people who mostly adhere to Christian beliefs feel marginalized by migrants, especially from Java, who are mostly Muslim. So this makes the social system move where the newcomers dominate in terms of politics, economics and social, giving rise to sentiment. In this study the authors used a qualitative method that uses sources of reading, literature, journals, books and online print media related to this research. The author uses two approaches namely the theory of constructivism and social conflict to answer the problems in this study. The results of this study stated that the main factor of social conflict that occurred in Poso was not due to religious dominance, but rather to the transfer of power both politically, economically and socially. In the solution, it met with obstacles and negotiations to find an amicable agreement that represented the interests of both parties.

Published: June 2021

This study aims to determine the response of the leadership of PTS and PTN rectors throughout Indonesia regarding the full exemption of UKT for students who are affected by the Covid 19 virus and the impact of criminal and civil law on leaders or higher education institutions. In the context of this problem, the authors see from the optical psychology of law aspects in the legal review process, with two approaches to religious norms and an approach with positive legal norms. Furthermore, to support the purpose of this study, the paradigm used in this study is the post-positivism paradigm. The results of the study show that, based on the formulation of the criminal provisions of Law No.12 of 2012 on Higher Education, criminal provisions are regulated for those who commit criminal offenses. Meanwhile, regarding administrative sanctions for PTS and PTN higher education institutions that violate it, they are subject to administrative sanctions. Of the various administrative sanctions that have been regulated, there are also no rules for PTS and PTN to get sanctions, if they do not give full UKT exemption to students. What is regulated relating to students is only in Article 76 (1) "the government, local governments, and / or tertiary institutions are obliged to fulfill the rights of economically disadvantaged students to be able to complete their studies in accordance with academic regulations.

Authors: Lagutkina Lina Yurievna , Evgrafova Elena , Kuzmina Evgeniia Germanovna , Mazlov Alexey Mikhaylovich
Published: June 2021

The article describes Australian red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, which is currently one of the most promising cultivation targets. However, to increase production volumes, it is necessary to improve cultivation technologies, which should be based on the data of physiological and biochemical parameters. An objective method for monitoring the physiological state

of Australian red claw crayfish in the artificial conditions is determining its hematological and biochemical indicators that complement the general characteristics of hemolymph and later define its physiological norm. When giving the objects the compound feed, which the authors produced by their own recipe, there was recorded a high level of total hemolymph protein of 40.8 ± 4.5 g/l. According to the results of biochemical research, the cholesterol content in the hemolymph of Australian crayfish was 3.2 ± 0.6 mmol/l, and the concentration of lipoproteins was 0.8 ± 0.2 g/l (levels within the reference values). When considering the hemogram of hemolymph there were found the dominant types and linear dimensions of native formed elements. The diameter of agranulocytes in Australian freshwater crayfish varied from 85 to 90 μm, semi-granulocytes - from 90 to 95 μm, granulocytes - from 65 to 78 μm, transparent cells differed by greater variability in size, which ranged from 85 to 120 μm. The part of granulocytes in relation to other shaped elements exceeded 50%, for transparent cells it turned out to be above 20%, for semi-granulocytes - about 15% and for agranulocytes - about 5%, which means that the latter form the rarest group. The established ratios are specific for Cherax quadricarinatus, its hemocytic characteristics greatly differs from Astacus leptodactylus, which is the main object of comparative research. The results of comparative analysis of the cellular composition of the hemolymph of the Australian freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus (Von Martens, 1868) demonstrate the taxonomic specificity of this representative of freshwater aquaculture

Published: June 2021

The article considers the purpose of the research as defining the possibility of using recycled fish raw material (zander’s cheeks and fat) in production of canned fish baby food. The components of the developed pasteurized canned fish “Sudachok” (heads and cheeks of pike perch, blanched carrots, oatmeal or buckwheat flour, fat from zander’s intestine, concentrated fish broth prepared from zander’s head and vertebral bones) were tested for the concentration of fat, protein, carbohydrates; zander’s muscle tissue - for the concentration of essential amino acids. It was determined that zander’s cheeks make up 4.4 - 8.8% of head’s mass, they being high-protein tissue (protein content is more than 19%), low-fat (fat content is 0.7%) secondary raw material and contain non-protein nitrogen (NPN), where formol and titrate nitrogen (FTN) and volatile bases nitrogen (VBN) are 370.5, 39.3 and 8.0 mg/100g, respectively. Formulations were developed and the pasteurized fish cans for babies were produced using zander’s cheeks and vegetable components (carrots, oatmeal flour, or buckwheat flour), fat and concentrated broth from boiling zander’s head bones. The composition has an optimized protein and fat content. In terms of quality, the pilot samples of canned fish with the corrected number of individual components of the recipe were found to meet the requirements of All-Union State Standard 29276 “Canned fish for baby food”.
ANALYSIS OF DEVELOPING RAW MATERIALS IN NORTH KURIL ZONE OF FAR EASTERN FISHERIES IN 2010–2019
Authors: Lisienko Svetlana , Ivanko Nina
Published: June 2021

The article presents the analysis of the development of commercial objects in the North-Kuril zone of the Far Eastern fisheries basin for a ten-year period. The resource potential of this zone was found to consist of 11 objects for which the total allowable catches were established (TAC objects) and of 4 objects, the extraction of which is carried out within the recommended volumes (non-TAC objects). The main objects of production in the North-Kuril zone were pollock, Commander squid and terpug, the production volumes of each species, in the total catch of all objects, amounted to 48, 26 and 13%, respectively. The production volumes of the rest commercial objects amounted to a total of about 13%. An analysis of the dynamics of changes in the TACs was carried out for each test fishing object. A decrease of catch volumes in 2019, compared to 2010, was observed in three objects: terpugs, halibut and macrurus. For these objects during the period under review there was found a decrease in TAC volumes. Analysis of the development of the objects under study during the period 2010-2019 showed that crabs, scallops and pollock in the studied time interval had consistently high catch volumes and a high degree of development. The average rate of development of these objects was about 90% or more. The remaining 8 fishing objects were under-developed annually. The average degree of development of Far Eastern flounder, Commander squid, terpug, cod, sea bass was about 55-75%. The lowest average rate of development (less than 50%) was observed in halibut, pinchback and macrurus. It has been inferred that it is necessary to conduct further studies of fishing activities to develop the resource potential for subsequent modeling and optimization of fishing processes

Published: June 2021

The elements of circular technologies in aquaculture on various types of energy are considered. The development of forms of aquaculture from pasture to industrial with an increase in the share of circular technologies is shown. It is noted that the use of cage fish farming on the waste warm waters of energy facilities is complicated by eutrophication at high fish planting densities and the peculiarities of temperature and hydrochemical regimes. The need to select new aquaculture objects with a fast growth rate, thermophilic and not demanding to the oxygen content in the water is noted: the African clarias catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a promising object for growing in warm waters. The possibilities of including other representatives of catfish - shilbovye catfish (Pangasius) - are considered. It is shown that due to the expansion of biotechnologies for growing valuable objects in installations with a closed water supply cycle, thermophilic hydrobionts, for example, the Australian red-clawed crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus, can be used as elite delicatessen products. It is shown that the complex hydrobiocenosis of fouling is formed by a set of consults of different orders. A fish-breeding system with elements of circular technologies becomes similar in structure to a natural ecosystem. The results of experimental cultivation of spicy vegetable crops on the waste products of carp and clary catfish are presented. Aquaculture and aquaponics as specific components of the modern agricultural sector in development are focused on industrial production technologies with the use of circular technologies for the efficient use of resources.
Problems of Russia’s participation in global value chains
Authors: Starodubtsyeva Elena Borisovna , Kim Anna Danilovna
Published: June 2021

The article explores the key issues tied to Russia’s participating in global value chains under constraints in national economic development and business. Specificities of Russian economy and Russian sectoral specialization, which includes export-oriented production and increased demand in Russian energy resources, natural resources, oil extraction industry and other extraction and manufacturing industry products among overseas producers and consumers in the world market, play a significant role as crucial reasons for Russia’s deeper engagement in the process of creating added value. Russia possesses a certain set of potential in taking advantageous positions in the global chains and is capable to deliver a set of benefits that create opportunities for improvement in the country’s current participation in international production. In reality, the Russian manufacturers aren’t sufficiently advantageous in global value chains and their engagement in the sphere of international cooperation within global value chains isn’t effective due to regulatory restrictions and the fact that Russian economy lags behind developed economies. There have been defined the features of Russian economy and business, the weak points, key differences from other countries that participate in the global value chains and key indicators of Russia’s engagement in global value chains. Within the defined major issues that prevent Russia from engaging in global value chains effectively, the state plans to eliminate issues and measures to implement these plans and strategies for improvement in the positions and ways of integration of the country were examined. In conclusion there were formulated the possible ways of improving the position of Russia in the global value chains, based on the reviewed problems and constraints in national entrepreneurship, state support system and conditions of international trade

Authors: Nikolaev Nikolay Alekseevich
Published: June 2021

The article presents the substantiation of the scientific and practical relevance of the study of the problem of developing the theory and methodology of improving the personnel management system of an enterprise based on a personalized approach in modern conditions of high competition, a decrease in the economically active population of Russia, a decrease in the growth rate of Russia's GDP in comparison with China and other developed countries. The practical relevance of the problem at the state level and the level of individual organizations is substantiated. The reason for the low involvement of personnel in the processes of increasing the efficiency and improving the activities of the organization is analyzed. The inconsistency of interests, goals, responsibility of personnel actions was determined as the main reason for their weak motivation and low efficiency of actions to improve the activities and development of the enterprise. The necessity of the transition from a general to a system-personified approach in personnel management for the most complete disclosure of the labor and personal potential of each employee of the organization is argued. The existing approaches to improving the personnel management system are highlighted, presented and summarized. The advantages and disadvantages of the selected approaches to personnel management from the point of view of involving employees in the processes of improving the activities of personnel and the enterprise are determined. The analysis of many publications by domestic and foreign authors devoted to methods of personnel management, methods of improving human resource management, methods of improving the personnel management system. It has been inferred that there were no publications detailing the personalized approach to personnel management at enterprises. The problem of methodological gap between the existing approaches to improving the personnel management system and the need for its development on the basis of a system-personified approach is formulated.

Published: June 2021

The article considers the issues of digital transformation of higher education. The approaches to the definition and content of the term “digital transformation” are analyzed, the specifics and conditions of digitalization of the economy and the development of higher education are investigated. As prerequisites for the digital transformation of higher education, one can designate not only the penetration into the educational field of various information technologies that have changed the learning process itself, but also a number of regulatory legal acts. The reasons for the digital transformation of universities are identified. There are considered the issues of the modern content of digital technologies in higher education and a set of digital competencies that a university teacher must master. The experience of individual universities (Tyumen State University, National Research University Higher School of Economics, Toliatti State University) in building a digital educational environment has been analyzed. The digital transformation of higher education involves the restructuring of all areas of activity based on information and communication technologies. Changes should take place in technologies and training programs, methods and means, forms of educational activities, planned educational outcomes, and assessment results. It is noted that digital competencies are a set of skills and knowledge necessary to carry out professional activities using digital technologies. There have been listed the digital competencies that the future university graduates should master: working with applied programs, digital equipment, digital information, communication skills in a digital environment, self-writing software, creating their own digital products, working in various programs, etc. Retraining the teaching staff implies developing advanced training programs aimed at mastering digital competencies that are in demand by the digital economy, and which must be formed among university graduates. It has been inferred that the totality of information systems, digital devices, sources, interfaces, services, which are developed and aimed at implementing the educational process and university management, constitutes a digital educational environment.
Methodological aspects of regional spatial and sectoral development management
Authors: Glezman Lyudmila
Published: June 2021

The article considers the key aspects of methodology of management by spatial and industrial development of Russian regions. Methodological basis of management as the basic element of control system by spatial-branch development of region demands specification and scientific substantiation. The essence of the problem consists in the fact that as a result of insufficient scientific and methodological elucidation and grounding of management pro-spatial-branch development of a region there is a discordance of interaction of functional mechanisms in the management system, which determines the low level of adaptability of management spatial-branch development to new challenges and changes in external and internal environment of the region. There has been carried out systematization and structural formalization of methodological basis of management by spatial and sectoral development of region. The analysis of scientific maintenance of a methodological basis of management by spatial and industrial development of region has allowed to specify and expand concepts of a development management methodology. The basic characteristics of development as a process of transformation of regional spatial and sectoral structure are presented, on the assumption of which management concept of spatial and sectoral development of a region is specified, a subject structure and key parameters of management are revealed. Principles of managing pro-spatial and industrial development of the region have been considered and substantiated. The concept of resource management and the contents of the resource base of the region spatial and sectoral development management has been analyzed. It has been inferred that the specific methodological grounds are the major scientific element of the control system by the spatial-sectoral development of the region.

Published: June 2021

Forest land allocation and use in Indonesia have been politically contested and characterized by poor data and competing interests of different institutions. This study analyzes the process of integrating scientific findings in policymaking about land use and changes. The focus is on the processes related to the changes of Highly Important Forest Zones with Strategic Values (Dampak Penting Cakupan Luas dan bernilai Strategis/DPCLS). DPCLS forests are unique as any changes require approval from the parliament to complement the processes at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and must be based on rigorous scientific evaluation. This study uses the case of Riau Islands (Kepri) Province, previously part of Riau Province, which to date is one of only two Indonesian provinces yet to accept the forest zonings of the Ministry. The province’s strategic positions as exclusive economic and free trade zones make it further interesting in terms of land allocation as land becomes increasingly valuable for other uses. This paper specifically asks how the scientific investigation on the potential land use changes were conducted, how reliable the discoveries are, and how they were utilized in multiple steps at different institutions from the proposal evaluations to the approval stages. Our research indicates that scientific findings have rarely been integrated in policy making regarding DPCLS forests in Kepri Province. In addition, the scientific findings are weak; the institution producing them is heavily dominated by government officials and paid consultants/ experts. The scientific body was only established to fulfill the formal processes required by the regulatory frameworks. Proposals and decisions on the changes of DPCLS forests in Kepri Province are more characterized by political considerations. The “scientific findings” of the current land use in Kepri Province is used as a political commodity (or commodities) to support the interests of actors.

Published: June 2021

In this paper, we presented for the first time a multidimensional scaling approach to find the scaling as well as the ranking of triangular fuzzy numbers. Each fuzzy number was represented by a row in a matrix, and then found the configuration points (scale points) which represent the fuzzy numbers in . Since these points are not uniquely determined, then we presented different techniques to reconfigure the points to compare them with other methods. The results showed the ability of ranking fuzzy numbers
Linguistic complexity of lecturers’ class register and its relationship to their personality traits
Authors: Malec Pinar Sinan
Published: June 2021

Many research studies indicated a correlation between classroom behaviour and the language of the instructors and learners. The inter-language that the teachers prefer to use in the class differs from the natural, daily life conversations in linguistic terms. It is characterized by more simplistic, repetitive, carefully selected language, or “classroom register”. The paper discusses a „foreign language classroom register” as a specific linguistic subsystem which is operated both by the rules of linguistic simplification and by constraints imposed by the specific social (school) setting. The standard language used in a classroom communication with a high ratio of short basic and coordinate sentences, more universal constructions, such as base case nominal phrases and active present indicative verb phrases, the limited reduction in morphological complexity as a result of a preference for a simple sentence structure. The research study examines a linguistic complexity of the teacher talk with focus on reductions, modifications, and simplifications. It also studies the personal attitudes of lecturers toward school discourse and the relation between teachers´ personality and a language complexity of their language.

Patients with hemodynamic instability have a sustained systolic blood pressure less or equal to 90 mmHg, a heart rate greater or equal to 120 beats per minute and an acute compromise of the ventilation/oxygenation ratio and/or an altered state of consciousness upon admission. These patients have higher mortality rates due to massive hemorrhage, airway injury and/or impaired ventilation. Damage control resuscitation is a systematic approach that aims to limit physiologic deterioration through a group of strategies that address the physiologic debt of trauma. This article aims to describe the experience earned by the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) of Cali, Colombia in the management of the severely injured trauma patient in the emergency department following the basic principles of damage control surgery. Since bleeding is the main cause of death, the management of the severely injured trauma patient in the emergency department requires a multidisciplinary team, which should perform damage control maneuvers aimed at rapidly control bleeding, hemostatic resuscitation and/or prompt transfer to the operating room, if required.
3D pore microstructures and computer simulation: Effective permeabilities and capillary pressure during drainage in Opalinus Clay
Authors: Keller Lukas M.
Published: June 2021

The 3D reconstruction of the pore space in Opalinus Clay is faced with the difficulty that high-resolution imaging methods reach their limits at the nanometer-sized pores in this material. Until now it has not been possible to image the whole pore space with pore sizes that span two orders of magnitude. Therefore, it has not been possible to predict the transport properties of this material with the help computer simulations that require 3D pore structures as input. Following the concept of self-similarity, a digital pore microstructure was constructed from a real but incomplete pore microstructure. The constructed pore structure has the same pore size spectrum as measured in the laboratory. Computer simulations were used to predict capillary pressure curves during drainage, which also agree with laboratory data. It is predicted, that two-phase transport properties such as the evolution of effective permeability as well as capillary pressures during drainage depend both on transport directions, which should be considered for Opalinus Clay when assessing its suitability as host rock for nuclear waste. This directional dependence is controlled on the pore scale by a geometric anisotropy in the pore space.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los pilares tecnológicos en Universidades Politécnicas Territoriales venezolanas. Fundamentado en Pombo (2018), Urcuqui et al. (2018), Möhlmann & Zalmanson (2017), Navarrete (2017), Schwab (2016), con relación a pilares tecnológicos; Araguay (2019), Scarafia (2018), Chakravorti, Bhalla & Shankar (2017), Schroeder (2017), González-Páramo (2017), Rodríguez (2017), Kagermann et al. (2016), en materia de la cuarta revolución industrial. Desde el enfoque positivista, es una investigación descriptiva, no expetimental; con una población constituida por 18 individuos en funciones de liderazgo en las divisiones de postgrado, investigación e innovación de las Universidades Politécnicas Territoriales del Zulia, Clodosbaldo Russián y de Maracaibo. Se utilizo la técnica de la encuesta y como instrumento el cuestionario, compuesto por cincuenta y cuarto (54) afirmaciones dispuestas bajo alternativas fijas con cuatro opciones de respuesta. Validado por 8 expertos, calculada la confiabilidad en 0,9523 bajo la prueba Cronbach y reafirmada con 0,862 del método de mitades partidas. Los resultados evidencian una baja presencia del conjunto tecnologías en forma de ecosistema, con la intención de lograr velocidad de procesamiento para mejorar la capacidad de servicio. A partir de hallazgos la base diagnóstica permite formular la propuesta en función de características digitales definidas institucionalmente como recurso a ser gestionado, transformado y transmitido.

Objetivo: Descrever e esclarecer através de uma revisão narrativa sobre os principais problemas imediatos decorrentes da cirurgia bariátrica nas mulheres em idade fértil. Revisão bibliográfica: Em suma, a maioria dos pacientes bariátricos com obesidade mórbida são mulheres, assim, foi levado em consideração a epidemiologia e as especificações desse público. Técnicas não cirúrgicas também foram analisadas. Contudo, quando analisado o processo cirúrgico, a colecistostomia aparece como uma grande questão sobre complicações pós cirúrgicas imediatas, assim como a atelectasia, o excesso de peso mamário e a má absorção de alimentos e vitaminas, fístulas entéricas. Outras complicações são encefalopatia, embolia pulmonar, neuropatia óptica. Considerações finais: Dessa forma, evidenciou-se que complicações como atelectasia, colecistite e deficiência de ferro são mais proeminentes no sexo feminino, devido a anatomia feminina bem como seus hormônios. Desordens como fístulas, tromboembolismo pulmonar, acidose metabólica e outros estão ligadas a técnica operatória adotada e idade, mas não ao sexo do paciente.
DO LIXO AO LIVRO: QUARTO DE DESPEJO E DIÁRIO DE BITITA, DE CAROLINA MARIA DE JESUS
Authors: Souza Flavia de Castro
Published: June 2021

Carolina Maria de Jesus revela em Quarto de despejo (1960) e Diário de Bitita (1986) o cotidiano de muitas brasileiras negras do século XX. Da infância no interior de Minas Gerais Ã  vida adulta na favela do Canindé, São Paulo, a trajetória de Carolina foi marcada pela rejeição ao tentar adentrar espaços marcados pelo privilégio branco. Os diários de Carolina podem ser considerados denúncias contra seus agressores, embora tragam, em sua forma, traços de uma cultura dominante assimilada. A escrita poética de Carolina é forjada na tentativa de emergir de uma camada subalterna Ã  elite, revelando um deslocamento do ponto de vista de classe. Durante a ditadura militar no Brasil, sua obra passa a ser censurada e silenciada da cena literária porque sua crítica social não atendia o padrão proposto pelos militares. Analisarei as relações entre os sujeitos subalternizados e o sistema literário brasileiro, através da escrita íntima de Carolina.
Rethinking Indigenous Languages:
Authors: Samorai John Lengoisa
Published: June 2021

“Language is ourselves and the storage of our information. It is a tool to link and inspire the future generation”. These words were spoken by an old Ogiek woman (nda’sat). Our old folks passed on traditions and culture of hunting and gathering to us (the new generation), but now things are changing. The old language is disappearing. Young men are shunning the village life and are migrating to urban areas for education and jobs. Preserving the indigenous language in such a situation is tricky, but it calls for putting measures in place to recognize language diversity, promote and value speaking of indigenous languages as a means of community expressions with acceptance that all languages are equal and none is superior to the other.
Diagnóstico para la atención de la lengua totonaca en la Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural en México
Authors: Bernal Lorenzo Daisy
Published: June 2021

Este manuscrito presenta los resultados de un diagnóstico para la atención de la lengua totonaca, que deriva de la investigación Planificación y políticas del lenguaje para el diseño de programas educativos de náhuatl y totonaco: el caso de la Universidad Veracruzana Intercultural. El trabajo se llevó a cabo del año 2015 al 2017. Se encuestó a 64 profesionistas totonacohablantes; a 18 entidades empleadoras que promueven a hablantes de lenguas originarias; y se entrevistó a 16especialistas en temas delengua y educación en contextos interculturales. El resultado orientó a la constitución de un grupo de expertos que discutiera la pertinencia de atender el totonaco mediante el Diplomado Escritura de la Lengua Totonaca,como una primera oferta formativa para los propios totonacohablantes.
